Death penalty measures to compete for votes


County DA supports campaign for reform, alternative effort seeks repeal
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Two competing death penalty measures will be on the November ballot if


the state certifies the required signatures needed to qualify.
On Thursday, the Californians for
Death Penalty Reform and Savings
campaign submitted more than
585,000 signatures across the state to
qualify the initiative for the ballot.
Its a reform measure aimed to both
reduce the amount of time convicts
spend on death row before being exe-

cuted and the burden taxpayers spend


on housing them.
Its broadly supported by prosecutors in the state including San Mateo
County District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe.
It follows on the heels of another
ballot measure that submitted more
than 601, 000 signatures to the
Secretary of State April 28, that aims
to completely repeal the death penalty
in California called the Justice That
Works Act.
Its biggest proponent is actor and
former MASH star Mike Farrell, who

contends the death penalty is a failed


policy that has cost the state $5 billion since 1978.
Wagstaffe, at a San Mateo press conference Thursday, admitted the states
death penalty policy is broken and
needs to be fixed.
The initiative he supports contends
that lengthy appeals have helped render the death penalty ineffective in the
state.
About 750 convicted killers are sitting on the nations largest death row,
but no one has been executed in a

Community expresses
crumb rubber concerns
Burlingame forum focuses on health
hazards, nuisance of artificial fields
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Burlingame residents concerned by potential health risks associated with extended


exposure to artificial turf comprised partially
of ground car tires came together to express
their reservations during a recent community
forum.
Local officials and a professional from the
artificial turf industry shared their collective
expertise on the politically-charged issue during a discussion Wednesday, May 18, at the
Burlingame Library.
Addressing the threat potentially posed by
synthetic playing surfaces using crumb rubber as infill becomes especially pertinent in
Burlingame as officials consider floating a
tax measure to voters which may, in part,
finance renovation of city parks and potentially pay toward installation of artificial turf
at sports fields.
AstroTurf sales representative David
DeGeronimo; Lou Duran, public works supervisor in San Carlos and Alex Wong, a legislative aide from the office of state Sen. Jerry
Hill, D-San Mateo, led a discussion focused
on the perks of synthetic surfaces which do
not use crumb rubber pellets as infill.
DeGeronimo, who has installed a variety of
turf surfaces at fields across the state, said
increasingly the industry is shifting away
from using crumb rubber, due in part to health
concerns, and also because of the general nuisance associated with the fine rubber pellets.
Everyone has realized synthetic turf is
awesome, he said. We dont need rubber to
gather the benefits the product offers.
AstroTurf makes a variety of artificial fields
comprised of alternative materials which are
considered safer, and less of a bother, than
crumb rubber playing surfaces, said
DeGeronimo.
Some popular infills are made of cork,
coconut, sand, virgin rubber or a variety of
other organic materials.
Resident Barbara Moore said she favored
installing the alternative surfaces and moving away from crumb rubber in Burlingame.
There is the issue of what to replace it
with, but the huge issue for me as a parent is
getting rid of crumb rubber as soon as possible, she said.
Moore shared fears of exposing her daughter to the health hazards loosely linked to
crumb rubber fields, but also the frustration of
constantly cleaning up the loose pellets
which tracked her daughter home from the
fields after getting caught in her soccer gear.
All sports fields on city property in
Burlingame are natural grass, but crumb rubber playing surfaces have been laid at all
school campuses.
Mark Intrieri, a member of the Burlingame
Elementary School District Board of Trustees,
said school officials have looked into alternative surfaces and are considering replacing
their existing fields.
Some students athletes, primarily soccer
goalies, have contracted cancer after years of
practicing and playing on crumb rubber turf,

documentary shown at the forum.
The issue has gained so much momentum,
federal agencies have agreed to further study
the health risks associated with crumb rubber,
and preliminary findings are due to be published toward the end of the year.
Hill has long been critical of crumb rubber
fields and though none of his bills focused on
regulating the artificial turf industry have
yielded results, the local legislator remains an
advocate for use of alternative artificial surfaces.
Wong cited opposition from labor unions
concerned with protecting jobs generated by
installation of crumb rubber fields as an insurmountable hurdle Hills legislation continuously failed to clear.
The opposition had created a very large
coalition and they were afraid it would freeze
the entire turf market, Wong said of Hills
bill proposal. They were concerned people
would not want anything to do with turf, and
they would only want to use grass.
Hill has said he will likely move away from
attempting to write bills proposing to regulate the turf industry, due largely to the influence labor unions have curried in opposition
of his bills.
Hill is encouraged by the commitment by
the federal government to study the link
between crumb rubber and cancer more comprehensively, said Wong.
Various efforts by Hill have been effective
in spreading awareness regarding the need for
greater care and consideration when municipalities and school districts consider
installing crumb rubber fields, said Wong.
Local governments are taking this issue a
lot more seriously when they are considering
artificial turfs, he said.
The issues associated with crumb rubber
have long been divisive in San Carlos, as
many residents have opposed various proposals to install the surfaces at city parks and
schools.
One artificial field, with infill comprised of
a mix between coconut and cork, has been laid
in San Carlos, and many consider it a community asset, according to Duran.
He said the artificial surface in San Carlos is
cooler and does not have the health hazards or
nuisance associated with crumb rubber, plus
the field is more sturdy and requires less maintenance and watering than natural grass.
DeGeronimo credited the San Carlos communitys foresight to install an alternative
artificial surface before the movement opposing crumb rubber gained momentum.
They were ahead of the curve, he said.
For his part, Intrieri said the school district
is considering installing an alternative surface, but noted the product is often more
expensive than crumb rubber, which has been
the industry standard for years.
He said since many more residents than
simply than those associated with
Burlingame schools use the fields, many others should be involved in the conversation
regarding potentially replacing the crumb
rubber fields.
This is a community issue, he said.

State planners cut $754M


in transportation projects

SACRAMENTO The California


Transportation Commission has adopted
more than $754 million in cuts to planned
highway, transit and other projects because
of falling tax revenues tied to gas prices.
The vote taken Wednesday also delays
another $755 million in planned future
projects.
A move made by the Legislature during the
budget crisis means gas taxes are set annually by the State Board of Equalization based
on fuel prices. The tax was set at 17 cents
per gallon in 2010 and has now fallen to 12
cents. It will fall to less than 10 cents a gallon in July.

California voter registration

SACRAMENTO Nearly 200,000 people registered to vote or updated their

Secretary of State Alex Padilla said
Thursday that the first day of Facebooks
campaign was the second-busiest day in
Californias four-year-old online registration system.
Facebook displayed a registration
reminder and link on Monday and Tuesday.
Padilla says one in three people who registered was between 17 and 25 years old.
California allows 17-year-olds to register if
theyll be 18 by Election Day.
People planning to vote in the June 7 primary must register by Monday.
Election officials are reporting a surge of

Lawmakers OK bill criminalizing

Outlawing bullet buttons and high-capacity magazines is a priority for gun control advocates,
who hope that making it harder to reload would limit the carnage a mass shooter can inflict.

California Senate approves


sweeping gun-control bills
By Jonathan J. Cooper
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Democrats in the


California Senate made another attempt
Thursday to outlaw the sale of assault
weapons with easily detachable magazines
as part of a wide-ranging slate of gun control bills they approved.
Lawmakers also voted to require that people turn in magazines capable of holding
more than 10 rounds as they backed nearly a
dozen measures that would significantly
reshape Californias gun laws, already
among the strictest in the U.S. The move
follows last years terrorist attack in San
Bernardino.
Legislative leaders are rushing to head off
a ballot measure advocated by Lt. Gov.
Gavin Newsom, a fellow Democrat, asking
voters to enact many of the same policies.
They worry the initiative will fire up gun
rights supporters, potentially increasing
turnout of conservative voters who could
impact the result in close districts.
Californias assault-weapon ban prohibits new rifles with magazines that can be
detached without the aid of tools. To get
around the law, gun makers developed so

called bullet buttons that allow a shooter to


quickly dislodge the magazine using the tip
of a bullet or other small tool.
They are designed only to facilitate the
maximum destruction of human life, said
Sen. Isadore Hall, D-Compton, who cowrote the bullet-button ban.
Law enforcement officials recovered two
rifles and two handguns after the San
Bernardino attack. Both types of rifles are
sold with bullet buttons.
Outlawing bullet buttons and high-capacity magazines is a priority for gun control
advocates, who hope that making it harder
to reload would limit the carnage a mass
shooter can inflict. Democratic Gov. Jerry
Brown in 2013 vetoed the Legislatures last
attempt to ban bullet buttons, saying it was
too far-reaching. A high-capacity magazine
ban failed in the state Assembly that year.
The debate has fallen along familiar
lines, with Democrats advocating a crackdown on guns in the name of safety and
Republicans saying that tougher gun laws
only hinder people intent on following the
law.
Gun ownership is a constitutional
bedrock, said Sen. Ted Gaines, R-El
Dorado Hills.

OKLAHOMA CITY Oklahoma lawmakers have moved to effectively ban abortion in


their state by making it a felony for doctors to
perform the procedure, an effort the bills
sponsor said Thursday is aimed at ultimately
overturning the U.S. Supreme Courts 1973
decision that legalized abortion nationwide.
The bill , which abortion rights group
Center for Reproductive Rights says is the
first of its kind in the nation, also would
restrict any physician who performs an abortion from obtaining or renewing a license to
practice medicine in Oklahoma.
It passed 33-12 Thursday with no discussion or debate; a handful of Republicans
joined with Democrats in voting against the
bill sponsored by Republican Sen. Nathan
Dahm.
Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin, an anti-abortion Republican, has until Wednesday to sign
the bill into law or veto it. Spokesman
Michael McNutt said she also could also allow
the bill to become law without approval
after the five-day period has elapsed. He also
said she will withhold comment until her staff
has time to review it.
Dahm made it clear that he hopes his bill
could lead to overturning Roe v. Wade.
Since I believe life begins at conception,
it should be protected, and I believe its a core
function of state government to defend that
life from the beginning of conception, said

But abortion rights supporters and the
states medical association have said the
bill is unconstitutional. Sen. Ervin Yen, an
Oklahoma City Republican and the only
physician in the Senate, described the measure as insane and voted against it.
Oklahoma politicians have made it their
mission year after year to restrict womens
access to vital health care services, yet this
total ban on abortion is a new low, Amanda
Allen, an attorney for the New-York based
center said in a statement. The Center for

bill and we strongly urge Governor Fallin to
reject this cruel and unconstitutional ban.
Thursdays vote in the Senate comes as the
Oklahoma Legislature nears a May 27 deadline for adjournment and is still grappling
with a $1.3 billion budget hole that could lead
to deep cuts to public schools, health care and
the states overcrowded prison system.

that could be used to help build twin tunnels
under the Sacramento-San Joaquin River
Delta.
A superior court judge sided Thursday with
Metropolitan Water District. Its buying
20,000 acres in the delta islands east of San
Francisco for $175 million.

San Joaquin and Contra Costa counties


argued that Metropolitan didnt adequately
study how the deal may harm the fragile
delta before striking the deal.
The counties ultimately want to block
Gov. Jerry Browns tunnels that would send
delta water south.
San Joaquin County Counsel Mark Myles
says they are considering their next step.
Metropolitans Bob Muir says the water
supplier hasnt officially decided how it will
use the land, making the lawsuit premature.

Clinton grapples with


Trumps ability to stay
in political spotlight
By Julie Pace
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Donald
Trump kept himself planted firmly in the political spotlight this
week with one headline-grabbing
move after another launching a
social media defense of his treatment of women, listing possible
Supreme Court nominees, rapidly
declaring an Egyptian plane
crash an act of terrorism.
His likely general election
opponent, Hillary Clinton,
seemed content to hang in the
background.
But Clintons stay-above-thefray attitude masks unresolved
questions that have gnawed at her
campaign since Trump virtually
locked up the Republican nomination. How can the wonkish
Clinton counteract Trumps fine-

ly-tuned ability to command


attention? Can
she win the
White House
by
letting
Trump run on
his terms, hoping

Or does she need to make a positive case for her own candidacy,
something she has struggled to
articulate during the Democratic
primary?
Shes going to have to do
things to keep her side motivated, to keep people excited, keep
it aspirational, said Steve

Trump, Clinton speeches to highlight U.S. divisions on guns


By Ryan J. Foley

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Donald Trump and Hillary


Clinton will court voters on opposite sides of the gun debate over
the next two days in events that
will highlight the nations deep
divide on the topic.
Trump
and
other
top

Republicans will speak at the


National Rifle Association convention Friday in Louisville,
where organizers are trying to
unite gun-rights voters by painting Clinton as a foe of their causes who must be stopped.
Clinton will appear Saturday in
Florida with the mother of
Trayvon Martin and other parents
who have lost children to gun vio-

lence. Shes become a forceful


advocate for restrictions meant to
reduce the nations 33,000 annual
gun deaths.
Th e dual ap p earan ces h i g h light the opposing positions
the candidates have staked out
on gun rights and safety, the
prominent role the issue might
play in the campaign and the
national policy implications for

the next president.


If you cherish
Second
Amendment rights, the stakes
have never been higher than they
are in this election, NRA spokeswoman Jennifer Baker said.
The NRA which Clinton listed as an enemy in a debate last year
is warning its 5 million members that Clinton would appoint
anti-Second Amendment justices

and implement a radical gun-control agenda, Baker said.


Clinton has said she supports
the Second Amendment but that
commonsense safety measures are
needed to keep firearms out of the
wrong hands. She has called for
expanding background checks to
sales at gun shows and online purchases, and for reinstating a ban
on assault weapons.

Congress, White House strike rescue deal for Puerto Rico


By Mary Clare Jalonick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON House Republicans and


Democrats reached a rare, election-year deal
with the White House to try to rescue Puerto
Rico from $70 billion in debt as millions of
Americans in the cash-strapped U.S. territory struggle with the loss of basic services.
A revised House bill introduced late
Wednesday would create a board to help
manage the territorys financial obligations and restructure some debt.
Negotiations between the Obama administration and House Speaker Paul Ryans
office and helped finalize the legislation.
It is a fair, but tough bipartisan compromise, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said.
Ryan, R-Wis., said the legislation would
avoid an eventual taxpayer bailout.
Puerto Rico, mired in a decade-long recession, already has missed several payments
to creditors. A $2 billion installment, the
largest yet, is due July 1.
The islands businesses have shuttered,
schools lack sufficient resources and some
hospitals cannot offer treatment or drugs.
Puerto Ricos governor used a state of emergency this week to protect one public
agency from lawsuits.
Further complicating Puerto Ricos outlook is the Zika virus, which has hit the territory of 3.5 million people hard. More
than 700 cases have been reported; Zika can
cause severe birth defects.

REUTERS

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan speaks to reporters in the U.S.Capitol


Like U. S. states, Puerto Rico cannot
declare bankruptcy. The legislation would
allow the control board to oversee negotiations with creditors and the courts over
reducing some debt.
The compromise achieved a restructuring
process that can work, House Democratic
leader Nancy Pelosi said.
A vote could happen next week in the
Natural Resources Committee. The panels

chairman, Rep. Rob Bishop of Utah, had to


cancel a vote last month amid objections
from both parties
Since then, Bishop and Ryan have worked
to win over conservatives who worry the
rescue might set a precedent for financially
ailing states. Democrats, too, had to be persuaded the control board wouldnt be too
powerful and debt restructuring too difficult.

Senate vote sets up tricky House
flags on VA cemetery flagpoles
talks ahead on anti-Zika bills
By Andrew Taylor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Senate on


Thursday approved its $1.1 billion plan to
combat the Zika virus, setting the stage for
difficult
negotiations
with
House
Republicans over how much money to
devote to fighting the virus and whether to
cut Ebola funding to help pay for it.
The 68-30 vote added the Zika measure to
an unrelated spending bill and follows
party-line passage of a separate $622 million House bill on Wednesday. The White
House has signaled that President Barack
Obama would accept the Senate compromise measure but has issued a veto threat
on the House bill, saying it doesnt provide enough money.
The Zika virus can cause severe birth
defects and can be spread by mosquitoes
and sexual contact. The most recent statistics by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention say more than 500 people in
the continental U.S. have contracted the
virus. So far, U.S. cases are travel-related
but it is feared the virus will spread more
widely as mosquito season heats up.

Centers for Disease Control and


Prevention Director Tom Frieden said in an
interview with the Associated Press that
the House measure is just not enough and
would hamper the CDCs ability to monitor women and babies with the virus over
coming years, fight the mosquitoes that
spread it, and develop better diagnostic
tests.
This is an unprecedented situation,
Frieden said. Weve never had a situation
before where a single mosquito bite could
result in you giving birth to a child with a
terrible birth defect that could change the
rest of your life.
The Senate broke a filibuster of the legislation on Tuesday. Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell, R-Ky., played a key role in the
outcome. The underlying bill, funding
transportation, veterans and housing programs, easily passed shortly after the vote
on Zika. The House passed a companion
veterans spending bill on Thursday as well.
The key difference between the competing versions is that House GOP conservatives insisted that spending cuts accompany the measure rather than adding its cost
to the budget deficit.

WASHINGTON The House voted on


Thursday to ban the display of the
Confederate flag on flagpoles at federal
veterans cemeteries.
The 265-159 vote would block descendants and others seeking to commemorate
veterans of the Confederate States of
America from flying the Confederate
Battle Flag over mass graves on the two
days a year that flag displays are permitted.
California Democrat Jared Huffman drafted the prohibition, saying the flag represents racism, slavery and division.
Huffmans amendment is mostly symbolic and applies only to instances in which

Republicans appear willing to support the


deal. Republican Rep. Raul Labrador, RIdaho, a native Puerto Rican and member of
the fiscally conservative Freedom Caucus,
spoke favorably of the effort.
This is a good bill that will get a majority of Republican support and will actually
go through both houses of Congress,
Labrador said, stopping short of a full
endorsement.
The Senate hasnt yet acted. Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.,
has said the chamber is waiting for the
House to move first.
Disagreements over how the board would
be appointed held up negotiations over the
past week. The bill would empower
President Barack Obama to select all but one
of the members from lists provided by congressional leaders. Anyone Obama picks
from outside that list must be confirmed by
the Senate.
In a nod to Democrats, the final bill also
removes a provision that would have transferred federal land on the nearby island of
Vieques to Puerto Ricos government. But
Puerto Rico would be allowed to temporarily lower federal minimum wage requirements for some workers, which Democrats
have opposed.
Still, Puerto Rican Gov. Alejandro Garcia
Padilla said the bill still isnt consistent
with our countrys basic democratic principles. He wants a less powerful board that
cant control the islands finances.

Around the nation


Confederate flags are flown on flagpoles
over mass graves. The amendment would
not ban the display of small Confederate
flags placed at individual graves. Such displays are generally permitted on Memorial
Day and Confederate Memorial Day in the
states that observe it.
Top House GOP leaders such as Majority
Leader Kevin McCarthy of California and
GOP Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana voted
with Democrats to approve the amendment.
By tradition, House Speaker Paul Ryan, RWis. , rarely votes. Republicans said
recently that the Mississippi State Flag,
which contains Confederate imagery, will
not be returned to a House hallway where it
was displayed prior to a recent renovation.

Poll: Two-thirds of U.S. would


struggle to cover $1,000 crisis M
By Ken Sweet and Emily Swanson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Two-thirds of Americans


would have difficulty coming up with the
money to cover a $1, 000 emergency,
according to an exclusive poll released
Thursday, a signal that despite years of
recovery from the Great Recession,
Americans financial conditions remain precarious as ever.
These financial difficulties span all
income levels, according to the poll conducted by the Associated Press-NORC Center
for Public Affairs Research. Seventy-five
percent of people in households making less
than $50,000 a year would have difficulty
coming up with $1,000 to cover an unexpected bill. But when income rose to
between $50,000 and $100,000, the difficulty decreased only modestly to 67 percent.
Even for the countrys wealthiest 20
percent households making more than
$100, 000 a year 38 percent say they
would have at least some difficulty com-

U.S. could lift arms embargo


on Vietnam amid China tensions
WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama could lift restrictions on arms sales
when he makes his first visit to Vietnam
next week. That would remove a final vestige of wartime animosity but would not
please China, which views growing U.S.
defense ties in its backyard with deep suspicion amid rising military tensions in the
South China Sea.
Theres
considerable
support
in
Washington for the lifting the restrictions,
including from the Pentagon, but also pockets of congressional opposition, leaving
uncertain whether Obama will announce it
when he visits Vietnam, starting Sunday.

ing up with $1, 000.


The more we learn about the balance
sheets of Americans, it becomes quite alarming, said Caroline Ratcliffe, a senior fellow
at the Urban Institute focusing on poverty
and emergency savings issues.
Harry Spangle is one of those Americans.
A 66-year-old former electrician from New
Jersey, Spangle said he thought he would
always have a job and lived for today but
lost his job before the downturn. He said he
would have to borrow from friends or family
in order to cover an unexpected $1,000
expense.
I have a pension and I am on Social
Security, but its very limiting, he said.
Its depressing.
Having a modest, immediately available
emergency fund is widely recognized as critical to financial health. Families that have
even a small amount of non-retirement savings, between $250 and $749, are less likely to be evicted from their homes and less
likely to need public benefits, an Urban
Institute study found.

Around the nation


The administration is pushing for more
progress on human rights, a constant drag
on the relationship. Significantly, the communist government has committed to allow
independent labor unions as a condition of
its participation in the U.S.-backed TransPacific Partnership trade deal, but it still
holds about 100 political prisoners and
there have been more detentions this year.
As part of Obamas effort to help Southeast
Asian nations counter Beijing, the U.S. in
2014 partially lifted an arms embargo in
place since the end of the Vietnam War,
allowing Vietnam to buy lethal defense
equipment for maritime security.

Vote yes on Proposition 50

hen three members of the


California Legislature were suspended for a variety of alleged
crimes in 2014, there was nothing in the
states Constitution that allowed other lawmakers to suspend them without pay without expelling them which did not seem
right because the criminal proceedings
were ongoing.
Proposition 50 seeks to right that
through Senate Constitutional Amendment
17, which essentially allows the
Legislature to both suspend lawmakers and
their salaries and benets and prohibit
them from exercising any of the rights,
privileges, duties or powers of his or her
ofce, or from utilizing any resources of

Editorial
the Legislature while the suspension is in
effect. It would require a two-thirds vote of
the Legislature, and though opponents suggest it would allow lawmakers to suspend
without pay any member of the state Senate
or Assembly as a tool for political retribution, the likelihood of this is slim.
Besides, current law allows suspension
with pay, so essentially this amendment
simply allows the Legislature to not pay
the suspended lawmakers.
With legislators annual salary of
approximately $90,000, the amount of
money saved through this amendment is

virtually meaningless in the scale of the


larger state budget. However, it does allow
the Legislature the ability to ensure those
lawmakers who are suspended and not performing their duties do not get paid. It is
essentially a piece of cleanup legislation
that will provide the authority to hold lawmakers accused of breaking the law
accountable and provides further assurance
to Californians that lawmakers not performing their duties not get paid.
Governmental reform takes many forms
and while this particular piece of legislation and ballot proposition is not widesweeping or impactful, it is important in
allowing California to hold its legislators
accountable. Vote yes on Proposition 50.

Fisicaro for District 5 supervisor
Editor,
Your recent endorsement for David
Canepa in the editorial Canepa for District
5 Supervisor in the May 11 edition of the
Daily Journal seems to be based on the age
of the endorsee, and not Canepas lack of
experience as a member of his community.
I believe that our Board of Supervisors
really needs the voice of someone who has
raised a family, worked to help support her
household and lived with the day-to-day
problems that confront the majority of
people in our district. As a working wife
and mother, Helen Fisicaro brings real life
experience to any problem. She has knowledge gained from hard work and a track
record of real world accomplishments that
we have every right to expect from our

out that the ne for failure to yield to a

Is this what democracy looks like?


Editor,
I learned quite a bit about democracy in
California when I attended the California
GOP convention in Burlingame Aug. 29. I
learned that you can be an anarchist and
cover your face, punch and kick people and
destroy private property without fear of
consequences.
I learned that you can be in the country
illegally and create signs with unmentionable vulgarities and shout profanities at
people who are U.S. citizens practicing
their First Amendment rights. I learned that
as a protestor, you can antagonize police,
ignore their instructions, physically taunt
and throw eggs at them. Finally, I learned
that you can wave the ag of a foreign
country while burning the U.S. ag.
This happened right in our backyard, and
it happened in front of the national press.
Attendees paid $100 for a ticket to the
luncheon to see Donald Trump speak and
another $90 donation to the California
GOP for the three-day conference. People
were forced to sneak into the Hyatt
Regency to get into the convention that
they had paid good money to attend. The
presumptive nominee for the Republican
Party had to stop his motorcade on
Highway 101, get out of his SUV, step
through a hole in the fence and then enter
the hotel through a private passageway.
We as a society need to have a conversation on whether violence and property
destruction are acceptable forms of protest.

Pasadena Star News

t seems like only a couple of years


ago that the state Senate was gungho to reform its campaign-finance
rules after scandals bounced Democrats
Ron Calderon, Rod Wright and Leland Yee
out of office.
In fact, it was only a couple of years
ago. In 2014, the Senate passed a package of reforms to clean up slimy political
practices and shore up public trust in the
California Capitol. Among those widely
applauded reforms was a rule prohibiting
senators from accepting campaign contributions from lobbyists during certain
periods.
Well, it hasnt taken long for something to come up that most senators find
more important than ethics. Namely an
election that threatens some of their
jobs.
Last week, senators voted 24-8 to scrap
the fundraising blackouts.
If the original round of reforms made
Californians think better of our senators
think lawmakers at least knew how bad
things looked what are we to make of
politicians scrapping this key reform?
Thats a rhetorical question.
Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de
Len, D-Los Angeles, who introduced the
motion last Thursday, tried to dress up the
ethics-rule rollback in terms of fairness.
The fundraising blackout period in question would have begun last Friday with
the start of final budget negotiations,
triggered by the release that day of Gov.
Jerry Browns budget revision. The period
would have extended beyond the June 7
California primary, in which 11 of the 40
senators are running.
How inconvenient. Just when politicians need campaign cash the most,
theyd be barred from receiving it from
their most reliable sources people,
groups and companies that want to influence lawmakers to support favorable legislation.
The state Assembly has no such
fundraising blackout. So when a senator
faces an election challenge from an
Assembly member, the senator would be
at a financial disadvantage.
An example: Sen. Jim Beall, DCampbell, is trying to hold onto his seat
against Assemblywoman Nora Campos,
D-San Jose, who has received big contributions from oil interests.
This is David vs. Goliath, and we cannot take away the slingshot from David,
says de Len. Well save you trying to
figure that one out: De Lens David is
the senator, never mind the advantages
enjoyed by incumbents in all public
offices.
Less than one election cycle ago, the
same de Senate leader made more sense in
speaking up for the fundraising blackout.
The reform, he said, ensures that members of the Senate are solely focused on
legislative business during the most critical times of the year.
Now, theyre allowed to go back to
focusing on the potentially corrupting
activity of mixing fundraising with legislative decision-making.
Those who voted for easing ethics rules
included Southern California Democrats
Ed Hernandez, Bob Hertzberg, Ricardo
Lara, Connie Leyva, Tony Mendoza,
Holly Mitchell and Fran Pavley, and
Republicans Pat Bates and Jean Fuller.
Its not their finest hour.
If Sacramento thinks the problem is
that the fundraising blackout put senators
at a disadvantage against Assembly members, the solution wasnt to scrap the
blackout but get the Assembly to institute
one.
But that would require a sincere belief in
political ethics, which is in short supply
in election season.

Stocks fall over worry about possible Fed hike


By Bernard Condon

DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Stocks dropped


on Thursday as investors get used
to idea that the Federal Reserve
may raise interest rates next
month.
Major indexes fell from the start
of trading, following European
markets sharply lower, with banks
and industrial companies hit the
hardest. By the close, Goldman
Sachs had dropped 3 percent and
Boeing fell 2 percent, the biggest
declines in the Dow Jones industrial average. Several commodities
sank for a second day, including
gold, silver and copper.
With earnings season mostly
over and little news to move
prices, the focus remained on the
suddenly higher odds that the Fed
will increase rates in June, as minutes from its last meeting released
Wednesday suggest.
This is all about the Fed, said
Bill Strazzullo, chief market
strategist at Bell Curve Trading.
Putting June on the table was
something few expected.
With the drop on Thursday, the
Standard and Poors 500 index has
now slipped into a loss for year.
Both it and the Dow index have
fallen in five of the past seven
days.

At the Feds meeting in April,
policymakers
indicated
an
increase in rates was likely, assuming the economy and labor market
continued to strengthen. Higher

Gap Inc. closing 75 stores outside


North America amid sales slump
By Anne Dinnocenzio
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Gap Inc. said Thursday that


it is shuttering 75 Old Navy and Banana
Republic stores outside North America as the
struggling company looks to focus on
regions where it sees it has the greatest
potential for success.
The closures include 53 Old Navy stores in
Japan, Gap said.
The closures represent just a fraction of the
over 3,700 stores it operates globally. But
the San Francisco-based retailer says it should
save it about $275 million a year before
taxes.
Gap also indicated it might not meet its
earlier profit forecast for the year, noting the

clothing business would need to improve in


order to achieve that goal.
The announcement came as Gap reported a
47 percent drop in first-quarter profits, with
revenue falling nearly 6 percent. All three
brands Gap, Old Navy and Banana
Republic suffered declines in a key sales
measure.
Adding to the companys woes, the
Standard & Poors credit rating agency downgraded Gaps debt to junk status Thursday.
S&P said it cut the rating one notch reflecting our view of the companys weakened competitive position in the challenging apparel
retail space.
Gap has long been struggling, unable to get
shoppers to buy its clothes without offering
big discounts.

Hillsdale churns out trio


of superstar shortstops
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

TERRY BERNAL/DAILY JOURNAL

CSM shortstop Meagan Wells is one of a trio of slick fielding


shortstops Hillsdale has produced in Randy Metheanys
second tenure as the Knights head coach.

For years prior to Randy Metheanys


return as head coach of the Hillsdale
softball team, the Lady Knights were
perennial cellar dwellers in the
Peninsula Athletic League Bay
Division standings.
In 2009 Metheanys first year
back at the helm Hillsdale restored
its standing as powerhouse Carlmonts
biggest Bay Division rival. The
Knights finished in second place that
season and have not recorded a sub.500 record since, posting five 20-win
seasons in the process.
The cornerstone of Hillsdales success since Metheanys return has been
a trio of outstanding shortstops

Kaylin
Stewart
(2009-11); Meagan
Wells (2012-15);
and Bridget Nasir
(2016).
The succession
of three very natural
shortstops,
you
dont see that very
Bridget Nasir often, Hillsdale
assistant
coach
Michelle Zalba said.
Zalba knows the superstar shortstop
pipeline through and through. During
Metheanys first tenure coaching the
Knights, Zalba was a three-year varsity standout as a shortstop at Hillsdale,
where she graduated in 1988. She went
on to play at the College of San Mateo
and, as a freshman, helped the Lady

Bulldogs the state


championship tournament
before
transferring
to
Sacramento State.
Two of Zalbas
modern shortstop
prodigies have followed in her footKaylin Stewart steps.
Stewart
played
two years at CSM where she was an allCoast Conference selection as a sophomore in 2013. She went on to transfer to
the Division-II program at Lindenwood
University in Missouri, where she finished her career in 2015 by pacing the
Lions with 10 home runs.

Sharks blank Blues Thompson

has carried
Warriors in
postseason

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN JOSE For a San Jose team whose


playoff struggles have often come down to
running into a streaky goaltender at the
wrong time, it must be nice to have the
goalie making all the stops.
Martin Jones made 22 saves in his second
straight shutout and Tomas Hertl scored twice
to give the Sharks a series lead for the first
time in four trips to the Western Conference
final with a 3-0 victory over the St. Louis
Blues in Game 3 on Thursday night.
Hes the backbone of our team, forward
Joe Thornton said of Jones. When hes on,
we feel like we cant be beat. ... Hes just such
a big guy, such a calm goalie. We love playing in front of this guy. We honestly believe
that hes the best goaltender in the league.
Joonas Donskoi also scored to give the
Sharks a 2-1 series advantage and move them
as close as they have ever been to reaching
their first Stanley Cup final. San Jose had
won just three games in its first three trips to
the conference final, part of a long history of
playoff disappointment that is showing
signs of coming to an end this season.
San Jose has controlled the play for much
of this series, limiting St. Louis chances and
taking advantage of miscues by the Blues to
generate enough offense. St. Louis has gone
150:45 without scoring since Jori Lehteras
second-period goal in Game 1 led to a 2-1
victory.
Game 4 is Saturday in San Jose, where the
Sharks have won six straight playoff games.
Its a long ways to go. It really is, captain Joe Pavelski said. Well worry about
this next game and well take it from there.

Samardzija pitches Giants to 8th straight Descalso gets


By Bernie Wilson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO Bruce Bochy met Jeff


Samardzija as the big right-hander came into
the dugout after the eighth inning and told
him he was done for the night.
Samardzija put up a bit of a fight to finish
the game.
Boch is going to be in the Hall, so I didnt
fight too hard, Samardzija said of his manager after the NL West-leading San Francisco
Giants beat San Diego 3-1 on Thursday night
for their season-high eighth straight victory.
Samardzija was trying to become the third
straight Giants pitcher to get a complete
game, after Madison Bumgarner and Johnny
Cueto went the distance in the first two games
of the series. Samardzija threw 105 pitches.
Im catching some flak right now from the
guys in here, he said. I was trying to get
back out there. When was the last time thats
ever happened? I figured wed get a chance. He
met me right as I came in the dugout. He said
theyd been riding me pretty hard lately. I
said, all right. But its great to be in that
position to be able to fight for that. To even
go for three in a row is absurd. Ive never heard
of that before.
Samardzija (6-2) held San Diego to three
hits and one run, struck out eight and walked

none. He retired his final


19 batters after giving up
an RBI double to Alexi
Amarista with two outs in
the second.
Santiago Casilla finished the combined fourhitter, pitching the ninth
for his 10th save in 13
Jeff Samardzija chances.
Bochy said Samardzija
mentioned the chance for a third straight
complete game.
He was good with it. We had the top of
the order coming up, a fresh Casilla, he was
leading off, and wed been working him
pretty good, Bochy said. Fortunately it
worked out. He was good either way. He was
fine with it.
I figured it was time to give him a break
there. Our pitching, what a great job on this
road trip they did. A lot of close games. Our
starters just did a terrific job.
Joe Panik had four hits and Brandon
Crawford homered for the Giants.
The Giants went 7-0 on a swing through
Arizona and San Diego. It was their first undefeated road trip of seven or more games since
going 8-0 from June 30-July 7, 1913, according to STATS.
They head home to open a three-game series

against the Chicago Cubs, who at 28-11 have


the best record in the majors.
San Francisco swept San Diego for the
second time this season. The Padres have
lost five of six. They scored only three runs
in the series.
Samardzija also beat the Padres 13-9 at San
Francisco on April 27.
He did a good job, Padres manager Andy
Green said. Honestly, Im at the point where
Im pretty much done tipping my hat to other
pitchers. We have to have better at-bats.
Crawford homered to right field off James
Shields leading off the seventh, his sixth. In
the series opener Tuesday night, Crawford had
a three-run homer and drove in five runs.
Panik went 4 for 4 against Shields. He was
thrown out at third base to end the first and
third innings. In the first, he hesitated on
Buster Poseys sacrifice fly before breaking
for third, and was thrown out by right fielder
Matt Kemp. In the third, he tried to advance
on a pitch in the dirt and was thrown out by
Christian Bethancourt.
The Giants scored an unearned run in the
fourth when Matt Duffy reached on a two-base
fielding error by Kemp and scored on Hunter
Pences single.
Shields (2-6) allowed three runs, two
earned, and nine hits in 6 2/3 innings. He
struck out seven and walked one.

As lose Reddick to thumb fracture


By Rick Eymer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Josh
Reddick was trying to
make something happen, hoping to put himself into position to
score. Hes likely going
to miss a month at mini- Josh Reddick
mum as a result of a fractured thumb.
Frustrating isnt even the right word,
Reddick said following the Oakland
Athletics 4-1 loss to the New York Yankees
on Thursday night. Im ticked off more
than anything. I was having a great season
and now this. Something so simple can be
so damaging.
Reddick, who hit a solo home run in the
fourth for the As only run, caught his thumb
on Starlin Castros spike stealing second
base in the seventh.
I had the green light at that point. I was
trying to help the club win a game,
Reddick said. We were down a run.

Unfortunately, those things happen.


Reddicks injury put a damper on what was
a solid effort from right-hander Kendall
Graveman (1-6), who beat the Yankees on
April 20 for his only win this season, and
suffered his fifth consecutive loss. He gave
up eight hits in 5 2/3 innings with three
walks and four strikeouts.
That was the best sinker Ive had all
year, to both sides of the plate, Graveman
said. I have been working hard to stay on
top of the routine between starts so I dont
struggle before the game.
Ivan Nova pitched six innings for his second win since moving into the starting
rotation, Carlos Beltran hit a two-run
homer and the Yankees held on.
Oakland swept New York when the teams
played in the Bronx but got little going
against Nova and three relievers.
Nova (3-1) allowed one run and four hits
in his longest outing this season since
replacing the injured CC Sabathia in the
Yankees rotation. The right-hander threw
just 62 pitches, had three strikeouts and
lowered his ERA to 1.65 in three starts.

The Yankees missed multiple opportunities to break the game open but took a 2-1
lead on RBI doubles by Beltran in the third
and Hicks in the sixth.
Beltran hit his ninth home run of the season and the 401st of his career in the ninth.
The As managed just three runners after
Reddicks homer and hit into two double plays.

Trainers room
RHP Henderson Alvarez continues to
await word on his troublesome right shoulder. He had an MRI earlier in the week but
the results were inconclusive and sent to Dr.
James Andrews for further evaluation.

Up next
Yankees lefty Sabathia (2-2) is scheduled
to come off the DL to start Friday at the
Coliseum. Sabathia is seeking his 100th
career win.
As right-hander Sonny Gray (3-3) pitches the second game of the series and is winless over his last four games. Gray has
allowed three runs or more in each of his
previous five starts.

By Steve Overbey

ST. LOUIS Daniel Descalso could not


believe his ears.
The Colorado infielder received a standing
ovation from the St. Louis fans on his first
trip to the plate during Thursdays 13-7 loss.
Descalso a San Carlos native spent
his first five seasons in St. Louis from to
2010-14 before he signed with Colorado as a
free agent on Dec. 2,
2014.
It was real nice,
Descalso said. I wasnt
really expecting it.
Descalso received a similar response last season
in his initial return to St.
Louis.
The fans did it a second
Dan Descalso
time on Thursday, which
meant a lot to Descalso.
These people were always great to me, he
said. Made a lot of good friends here. It was
tough to leave.
The 30-second ovation was helped by St.
Louis catcher Yadier Molina, who would not
get back behind the plate until Descalso
waved to the crowd.
Descalso responded to the third-inning atbat by lining a single.
They werent cheering me that time, he
kidded.
Descalso had two hits and drove in two runs
in his first start since coming off the disabled
May 13 due to a fractured left hand.
The hand is fine, Descalso said. Im feeling good and glad to be back in the lineup.
Matt Carpenter homered and drove in a
career-high six runs for the Cardinals.
St. Louis, which has won three of four,
scored a season-high six runs in the fourth
inning to take the lead for good.
Carpenter smashed a three-run homer in the
eighth inning and also had a bases-loaded
double in the fourth.
I feel like our lineup is very flexible,
Carpenter said. Guys can hit in some different spots, including me.
Matt Adams drove in four runs with a pair of
two-run singles in the first and fourth.
Trevor Story hit his 12th home run of the
season for the Rockies, a solo shot in the seventh. He had three hits.

Cavaliers keep on cruising Skujins wins Stage 5


By Tom Withers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEVELAND Overshadowed as Golden State shot down


history during the regular season, the Cavaliers are making
this postseason their own.
Perfectly.
LeBron James recorded a triple-double and Cleveland
improved to 10-0 in the playoffs with a 108-89 victory over
the Toronto Raptors on Thursday night in Game 2 of the
Eastern Conference finals.
James had 23 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists as the Cavs
became the fourth team to start the postseason with 10
straight wins, joining the Los Angeles Lakers (1989, 2001)
and San Antonio Spurs (2012). Playing at a different level
than the rest of the field, the Cavs are now two wins from
appearing in their second straight NBA Finals and trying to
end Clevelands 52-year sports championship drought.
Kyrie Irving scored 26 and Kevin Love 19 for Cleveland,
which swept Detroit and Atlanta and has beaten Toronto by a
combined 50 points in two games.
I dont think it feels like a streak, James said of the Cavs
rampage through the playoffs. It feels like we won one game,

WARRIORS
Continued from page 11
Weve got a huge fan base, but its not No. 1 on my list,
Thompson said of engaging with supporters and the media. I
just enjoy, I love playing the game.
After he carried Golden State for much of the first two
rounds, Thompsons teammates took the pressure off with a
balanced performance in Wednesday nights 118-91 Game 2
win against the Thunder that notched the Western Conference
finals at one game apiece.
Earlier in the playoffs, Thompson shared how Kerr challenged him to channel my inner Reggie Miller and constantly keep moving. Kerr has appreciated Thompsons ability to drive and dish and making things happen without the
ball and he did it much of the time without fellow Splash
Brother Curry, who was sidelined with ankle and knee
injuries.
So, when Golden State eliminated Portland in five games
last round, Curry offered one final thing: A thoughtful shout
out to Thompson and all he has meant during this title
defense.
Klay doesnt even want the limelight, said Kerr. He just
likes to play and he would prefer not to do any media. I dont
think he cares at all about having his name out there or doing
endorsements or whatever. In many ways hes the perfect kind
of second star on a team because of that. So Steph and
Draymond get most of the attention. Klay enjoys being in the
background, living his life quietly.
His demeanor certainly isnt like that of his former power
forward father, Mychal, a No. 1 overall pick by Portland in
1978 who played 12 NBA seasons.
Thompson prefers to praise his teammates at any chance
rather than discuss himself.
Were kind of different because he loves to talk. He loves
to talk trash, he loves the camera and the limelight, the two-

we won the next game. Weve taken one


step at a time. Weve tried to take care of
business.
The Raptors managed to hang around
longer than in Game 1, when they were
blown out by 31. But Toronto lacks the
necessary firepower to stay with a
Cleveland team playing its best basketball
this season, one that James likened to a
LeBron James football team.
We play offense, we play defense and
were great at special teams as well, he said.
Game 3 is Saturday in Toronto, where Raptors All-Star guard
Kyle Lowry can only hope the rims at Air Canada Centre are
kinder than the ones in Quicken Loans Arena.
Lowry scored 10 points and is shooting 8 of 28 from the
field, including 1 of 15 on 3-pointers in the series. However,
he isnt hanging his head.
DeMar DeRozan scored 22 for the Raptors.
James moved past Shaquille ONeal into fourth place on the
career postseason scoring list and posted his 15th playoff
triple-double, securing it by running down rebound No. 10

After five games defending James Harden and five more
chasing Damian Lillard, there was no getting around the
attention for superb outing after outing. Thunder star Russell

The 26-year-old Thompson is known to be funny in team
meetings or elsewhere behind the scenes.
Klay is who he is. Thats the beauty of him, Kerr said.
Its important because every team has kind of a pecking
order, totem pole, however you want to put it, and guys need
to slide into roles. There are teams where maybe you have two
guys who want the attention and want the ball and maybe it
doesnt click. The personalities have to fit, just like the skills
have to fit. I think thats one of the strengths of our team.
People enjoy being around one another and they are comfortable in their roles, and I think Klay is a huge part of that.
Thompson logged 2.61 miles per game at 4.34 miles per
hour, no less in the first two rounds while playing 36.1
minutes and taking on the scoring load in Currys absence.
Green has told Thompson at times this postseason to keep
looking for his shot, even when the defense changes up on
him or the ball doesnt drop for the All-Star 3-point contest
champion.
Thompson did just that in the Portland series, following up
a playoff career-high 37-point performance in the opener
with 27 points and five 3-pointers in Game 2. In fact, he had
scored at least 20 points in eight straight playoff games
before Wednesday.
Thompson expects the Warriors to build off Game 2, when
he scored 15 points but played just less than 30 minutes, and
to learn from the lack of poise they exhibited in losing the
opener.
We know what it takes to win, he said. Its extremely
hard.

LAKE TAHOE Toms Skujins delivered his U.S.-based team


another win in the nations highest-profile race.
The young Latvian rider pulled away from Adam De Vos and
Xabier Zandio, the only remnants of an early breakaway, and
cruised across the finish line to win Stage 5 of the Tour of
California on Thursday.
Skujins won three days after Cannondale Pro Cycling teammate Ben King won in a breakaway.
Julian Alaphilippe finished 43 seconds back in a pack of overall contenders on the 132-mile route through vineyards and
forestland to retain the yellow jersey. Peter Stetina remained 22
seconds adrift in second and George Bennett 37 seconds back in
third.
Skujins, who also won a stage from a long breakaway last year,
was only part of an 18-rider group that broke free from the peloton early in the race. Skujins tried to attack the breakaway once,
only to get reeled back, but then made a second attack succeed
when he was joined by two other riders.
In the end, De Vos and Zandio couldnt match him in the sprint
at picturesque Lake Tahoe.
Earlier in the day, American rider Megan Guarnier won the
opening stage of the womens race with a solo attack of her. The
world bronze medalist out-raced Emma Johansson to the line by
4 seconds to take the yellow jersey into the second of four stages.
Kristin Armstrong finished third in another impressive performance as she tries to earn a spot on the U.S. team for the Rio
Olympics. The two-time and reigning time trial gold medalist
retired after the London Games but decided to try to qualify for one
more Summer Olympics.
The sixth stage Friday is an individual time trial for the men
and a team time trial for the women over the same 12.5-mile
course that begins and ends in downtown Folsom.
The race against the clock is not Alaphilippes forte, so he will
be trying to hold onto his overall race lead. He led on the penultimate day a year ago before falling to second on the final day.
The Tour of California concludes Sunday in Sacramento.

Continued from page 11
Wells graduated from Hillsdale in 2015
and quickly made a splash at CSM, where
she has chiseled a fine freshman season. A
.396 hitter on the best hitting team in
Northern California, and third in the state,
Wells has also made an impact as a golden
gloved shortstop, posting a .959 fielding
percentage thus far.
None of those numbers are set in stone
yet, of course, as the Lady Bulldogs open
play in the state championship tournament
Friday against Santiago Canyon College at
5:30 p.m.
With Wells departure from Hillsdale this
season, the Knights promoted Nasir, a
sophomore, from the junior-varsity ranks.
The unanimous opinion of the Knights
coaching staff is Nasir would have been a
supreme varsity fit even as a freshman. The

only reason they kept her down with the


junior-varsity squad was because she was
blocked by Wells.
Meagan was there and shes an awesome
shortstop, so obviously shes going to
play there, Nasir said.
Nasir did see some varsity time as a freshman, playing opposite Wells at second base
while regular keystone sacker Kara Ronberg
was finishing her playoff run with the
Hillsdale girls basketball team. Nasir also
joined the varsity softball team for the
Central Coast Section playoffs. Through
seven games, she tabbed a .462 batting
average (6 for 13).
This year, Nasir debuted in the heart of the
batting order and has been there ever since.
As of late, she has tooled a regular spot as
the Knights cleanup hitter, batting behind
senior slugger Lauren Quirk. The two are
currently tied for the team lead with 19 RBIs
apiece.
For Nasir though, her biggest concern
was with the glove, especially with such
big shoes to fill with the departure of Wells.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

They were obviously big shoes to fill,


Nasir said. And Michelle and Randy always
speak very highly of her. So, I felt like I
needed to fill those shoes.
I think Ive done pretty good, coming up
to varsity and actually being the starting
shortstop, she said. Im actually pretty
proud of myself.
With Hillsdale opening play as the No. 1
seed in the CCS Division III quarterfinals
Saturday the Knights take on No. 9 Santa
Catalina at Redwood Citys Hawes Park at
noon the team is gunning for overall win
No. 20, which would mark the sixth time in
nine years Metheany has reached the plateau
since his return.
With several key seniors due to graduate
including St. Marys-bound pitcher Eryn
McCoy, and the CSM-bound duo of infielder
Quirk and catcher MacKenzie Driscoll the
Knights will once again have some big
shoes to fill.
Obviously were going to miss them
because they are big factors for our infield,
Nasir said. But we have some good fresh-

men coming up from J.V. I think theyre


going to be just as good. Theyre going
to have to work hard to be just as good as
them because, obviously, theyre amazing.
That has been the key to Hillsdales collegiate pipeline creating a feeder system
within its own program from the junior-varsity ranks.
Were definitely fortunate, Zalba said.
Luckily in our program at Hillsdale we
have a lot of girls that could be playing at
the varsity level.
One position the Knights dont have to
worry about for the coming two years,
though, is shortstop. Nasir has played all
but one game there this season.
Nasir may just break the mold of CSMbound Hillsdale shortstops though. Having
played with the prestigious Cal Nuggets
travel team the past four years, she is looking to make the immediate jump from high
school to Division-I softball. And her
prospects look promising, having already
been on a visit to Villanova, and having
attended camps at UC Davis and St. Marys.

Brian Elliott allowed three goals on 14
shots before being pulled midway
through the third. Coach Ken Hitchcock
said he could give backup Jake Allen the
start in Game 4, but St. Louis problems
are much bigger than their goalie.
The Blues now find themselves trailing a series for just the second time this
postseason. Overcoming this deficit
may be tougher than coming back last
round after losing the opener to Dallas.
Its tough to win when you dont

said. Cant leave our goalies out to dry

While the Stars were leaky on defense
and rotated between two mostly ineffective goalies, the Sharks have done a stellar job defending in front of Jones, who
has been sharp in his first postseason as
a starter.
After allowing the soft goal to Lehtera
that led to the Game 1 loss, Jones has
been perfect the past two games. He has

Weve done it as a group, Jones said.
Im not being asked to steal these
games, just make the saves that you
expect your goaltender to make in a conference final.
That kind of goaltending and another
dominant performance from Thorntons
line was more than enough for San Jose.
That line scored twice, with the first coming off a St. Louis turnover late in the
first.
Colton Paraykos breakout pass to
Lehtera was broken up in the neutral zone

by Brent Burns. Thornton quickly sent


the loose puck ahead to Pavelski, who
found Hertl for a big slap shot that beat
Elliott high to the glove side to make it
1-0 late in the period.
Hertl scored again early in the third off
a perfect pass from Thornton, ending
Elliotts night.
The Blues looked faster early after
making several changes to their lines
and lineup, holding the Sharks without a
shot on goal for more than eight minutes. But St. Louis seemed to lose some
steam after Hertls first goal.
Matters only got worse in the second
period as St. Louis lack of scoring led to
a risky pass that turned into a San Jose
goal. Donskoi broke up a pass from
Robby Fabbri to start an odd-man rush.
Logan Couture skated into the offensive
zone and fed the trailing Donskoi for the
wrist shot from the slot that made it 2-0.

mistake. We cross-ice pass it to a covered

most shutouts in a single postseason for

Mickelsons SEC case to cost $1M Federer pulls out

By Steve Douglas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Muirfield was stripped of its right to host the British Open


after the Scottish club voted against admitting female members in a move that provoked sharp criticism from players and
lawmakers Thursday.
The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, which
owns Muirfield, announced its decision to retain the clubs
male-only policy following a ballot of its members. A twothirds majority was required for change. Out of 616 members
who voted, 36 percent were against allowing women.
Within minutes, the Royal and Ancient, which runs the
British Open, said Muirfield was off the list of 10 courses that
can host golfs oldest major championship.
Going forward we will not stage the Championship at a
venue that does not admit women as members, R&A chief
executive Martin Slumbers said in a statement. If the policy at
the club should change, we would reconsider Muirfield as a
venue for The Open in future.
Muirfield has staged the British Open 16 times dating to
1892, most recently in 2013 when Phil Mickelson won.
Royal Troon, which hosts this years tournament July 14-17,
is the only other club on the rotation to still exclude women.

British sports minister David Evennett said the decision by


Muirfields members was extremely disappointing and
sends out completely the wrong message.
Scotland has women leaders in every walk of life, Nicola
Sturgeon, Scotlands first minister, said on Twitter. It is 2016.
This is simply indefensible.
Golfers past and present backed the R&As stance.
Gone are the days where you can discriminate in a club,
two-time British Open champion Padraig Harrington said from
the Irish Open. The R&A have a bigger responsibility to
society, and theyve done the right thing.
Four-time major winner Rory McIlroy said golf needed to
boost its image against charges of sexism because its 2016
and times move on.
We are trying to break out of this stuffy, old image, he said.
We are trying to become more with the times and do things to
make golf faster, make golf cooler, make more people included.
Gary Player, who won the British Open at Muirfield in 1959
for the first of his nine major titles, said the clubs decision
was simply unacceptable and said he hoped that Muirfield
would reconsider.
Ernie Els has played three Opens at Muirfield, winning in
2002 in a playoff, and said it would be weird that such a great
links would not be part of the rotation.

PARIS Roger Federer pulled out of the French Open on


Thursday, ending his record of appearing in 65 consecutive
Grand Slam tournaments dating back to 2000.
Federer was beaten in the French Open quarterfinals last
year by eventual champion Stan Wawrinka.
The 17-time major champion, who had a knee operation
this year but returned to play at the Monte
Carlo Masters in early April, has been
dealing with a back problem that has limited his schedule in recent weeks.
Last week, Federer played at the Italian
Open and lost to Dominic Thiem in the
third round. He withdrew from the Madrid
Open the previous week because of back
pain.
The last major Federer missed was the
Roger Federer 1999 U.S. Open.
The third-ranked Federer, who has 88 career titles, won the
French Open in 2009 the only time he has won the tournament at Roland Garros.
Returning from more than two months out following
arthroscopic surgery on Feb. 3 for torn cartilage in his left
knee, Federer looked comfortable as he reached the Monte
Carlo Masters quarterfinals losing to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
But the back pains proved more of a concern.
After Federer, the next longest streak of playing at major
tournaments is 56, held by Feliciano Lopez.

NEW YORK Phil Mickelson paid off a debt to a professional gambler with nearly $1 million that was unfairly reaped
from an insider trading scheme, according to a federal investigation that led to two arrests but spared the golf great from
criminal charges.
Mickelson, named as a relief defendant in a civil suit in the
case accused only of profiting from the
misdeeds of others, agreed to repay the
$931,000 he made from a single trade in
2012.
Simply put, Mickelson made money
that wasnt his to make, Andrew Ceresney,
head of the Securities and Exchange
Commissions Enforcement Division, said
at a Manhattan news conference.
The
Securities
and
Exchange
Phil Mickelson Commission and U.S. Attorney Preet
Bharara announced an indictment Thursday
against the gambler, William Walters, and a former corporate
board member of Dean Foods Co., Thomas Davis, alleging that
the pair used non-public information about the company to
make tens of millions of dollars in illicit stock trades between
2008 and 2012.
In 2012, the SEC says, Walters called Mickelson, who owed
him money, and urged him to trade stock of the Dallas-based
distributor of Land O Lakes butter and other dairy products. The
SEC says Mickelson made the trade the next day and reaped a
profit of $931,000 that he used to help pay off the debt.
Ceresney declined to spell out the rationale for not making
Mickelson part of the criminal case, other than, We bring
charges based on the evidence and the law.
The case comes in the wake of a 2014 appeals court decision
that made prosecuting people benefiting from inside tips more
difficult. The ruling found that in order to be charged, there
must be evidence a defendant had first-hand knowledge about

the origins of the inside information.


Basically everybody has to know everybody elses role in
the scheme, said Anthony Sabino, an attorney specializing in
white-collar legal issues and a business professor at St. Johns
University in New York.
That may have been too high a hurdle for the prosecutors to
surmount with Mickelson. He was allegedly tipped by Walters,
but didnt necessarily know Walters source of the information.
Mickelsons management group issued a statement Thursday
saying that he felt vindicated because prosecutors hadnt
charged him with breaking securities laws. It added: He takes
full responsibility for the decisions and associations that led
him to becoming part of this investigation.
Davis, 67, who resigned from Dean Foods board of directors
last year, has already pleaded guilty in the case and is cooperating with the investigation, Bharara said at the news conference. Walters, 69, was arrested by the FBI in Las Vegas on
Wednesday. He was scheduled for arraignment Thursday afternoon in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas.
In a statement, defense attorney Barry Burke called Walters
a multimillionaire who owns several golf courses and auto
dealerships an American success story. The accusations,
he added, are based on erroneous assumptions, speculative
theories and false finger-pointing.
Davis attorney, Christopher Clark, confirmed his client was
cooperating, but declined further comment.
From 2008 through 2012, the SEC said, Davis passed
Walters highly confidential information on Dean Foods,
including sneak previews of at least six of the companys quarterly earnings announcements and advance notice of the spinoff of its profitable subsidiary, WhiteWave Foods Co.
In 2013, Davis also gave Walters inside information hed
gotten from a group of investors who confidentially shared
their plans to buy stock in Darden Restaurants Inc., the SEC
said. Based on the tips, Walters reaped illegal trading profits
and avoided losses of at least $40 million, according to the
regulators.

Penguins find higher gear against Lightning in East finals


By Fred Goodall
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TAMPA, Fla. Few NHL teams have the


quickness, speed, skill and depth to overwhelm the Tampa Bay Lightning, which the
Pittsburgh Penguins have done through
three games of the Eastern Conference
finals.
Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and a talented supporting cast that includes the sizzling line of Phil Kessel, Carl Hagelin and
Nick Bonino have outplayed the speedy
Lightning for significant stretches of each
game to gain a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven
matchup.
Game 4 is Friday night at Amalie Arena,
and the Penguins are looking to turn up the
pressure even more.
When youre playing such good teams at
this point, you know you cant afford to look

past the game in front of


you, said Crosby, whos
scored the past two
games after going eight
straight without a goal.
Malkin assisted on
Crosbys
power-play
goal that proved to be the
winner in Game 3 on
night,
Sidney Crosby Wednesday
Malkins first point
since Game 2 of Pittsburghs second-round
victory over Washington.
While the Penguins biggest stars were
trying to get back on track, Kessel, Hagelin
and Bonino heated up at precisely the right
time.
The trio had a huge impact Wednesday
night, as well, with Kessel delivering his
team-leading seventh goal of the playoffs
off a nifty pass from Bonino after earlier set-

ting up Hagelins goal that snapped a scoreless tie.


You dont win consistently without
(depth). That lines been great all playoffs
long, Crosby said. You look at the way
Phils playing ... he creates so much.
Haggys got a ton of speed. And Bones is a
really smart player. He works really well with
those two guys. Theyve given us a lot of
momentum.
Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper acknowledged line has been tough matchup for a team
thats accustomed to wearing opponents
down with its own deep roster.
You look at their team, Phil Kessel probably doesnt get near the respect he deserves. I
mean, hes scored a ton of goals in this
league. Boninos kind of one of those underrated players. ... You look at the teams hes
playing, and theres always been named stars
ahead of him. Hagelins won everywhere hes

gone, the teams hes played on. But they get


overshadowed by the big name guys,
Cooper said.
When you can go three and four lines deep
and something weve been able to do
its a tough matchup for teams, the coach
added. Theyre just another case and plus
theyre feeling it, too. Theyre in one of
those playoff runs where theyre feeling it,
and when you are going like that, good
things are going to happen for you.
The Penguins have outshot Tampa Bay
124-70, a trend the Lightning cant allow to
continue if they expect to win the series.
Andrei Vasilevskiy has filled in admirably
since replacing the injured goalie Ben Bishop
during Tampa Bays victory in Game 1. In
addition to generating more scoring chances,
Cooper stressed the Lightning also have to
play better in front of Vasilevskiy, who faced
41 shots in Game 2 and 48 Wednesday night.

On another much-discussed topic, Manfred said the decrease

FA Cup win could be parting gift


or job-saver for Man U manager
By Steve Douglas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MANCHESTER, England
Parting gift or job-saver?
Even a victory for Manchester
United in the FA Cup final against
Crystal Palace on Saturday might
not be enough for Louis van Gaal
to stay on as manager at Old
Trafford.
Uniteds failure to finish in the
top four of the Premier League
and therefore miss out on qualifying for the Champions League
left Van Gaal in danger of being
fired after two underwhelming
years in charge.
Despite not achieving the clubs
primary target this season, the
Dutchman is convinced he will be
allowed to see out his three-year
contract.
Uniteds board might have other
ideas with or without a first FA
Cup since 2004 in the trophy cabinet.
I think the interest of the club
and the interest of the fans is more
important than the manager, Van
Gaal said Thursday when asked
about the significance of the game
to his future. Of course, you have
your own aims and thats one of
the aims I have always had.
For a self-confident coach who
has collected silverware at every

Ferguson delivLouis van Gaal ered the 38th
major trophy of
his 27-year United reign, in winning the Premier League in 2013
in his last season before retirement.
David Moyes, Fergusons successor, fell short in his 10 months
in charge. Van Gaal might have
one more game to break his
drought, and suggested that having something tangible to celebrate would be more special to his
players than qualifying for the
Champions League.
Qualification is not a title a
title is the FA Cup, is the (league)
championship, Van Gaal said.
For players, its very important.
They can look and hold the cup.
Thats an exciting moment.
The match is a repeat of 1990
final, which United won after a
replay following a 3-3 draw in the
first match. That result gave
Ferguson some breathing space
after a disappointing first four
years at United, and he went on to
become the clubs most successful
manager.
I remember Sir Alexs career

hinged on that game, said Palace


manager Alan Pardew, who played
for the London club in the 1990
final, and maybe LVGs career
will hinge on this.
Palace has reached its first cup
final since 1990, giving the club
another chance to win a first major
trophy. The FA Cup has saved
Palaces season after the team
unraveled in the second half of its
league campaign to finish five
points clear of the relegation
zone.
United is the clear favorite.
I think the pressure is on them
all the time, because its
Manchester United and its a historical club with a historical history, that we havent got, Pardew
said. The history we take into the
game is a final that we lost. This
team, this group of players, has an
opportunity to put something permanent there a first major trophy for Crystal Palace.
Palace will be without Joe
Ledley because of a broken leg,
although Pardew said Thursday the
Wales midfielder could return in
time
for
the
European
Championship.
United has midfielder Marouane
Fellaini back from suspension,
and defenders Matteo Darmian and
Marcos Rojo back from injury.

PM Trudeau apologizes
again in Parliament after elbow
TORONTO Prime Minister Justin Trudeau apologized
before the Canadian Parliament for a third time Thursday,
saying he expects better behavior of
himself after elbowing a female lawmaker
in the chest and grabbing another lawmaker.
Trudeau, 44, said he should not have
made physical contact with the one lawmaker and said he accidentally bumped
into the female lawmaker.
I made a mistake. I regret it and Im
looking
to make amends, Trudeau said.
Justin Trudeau
I expect better behavior of myself.
Opposition lawmaker Ruth Ellen Brosseau said she had to
leave the House of Commons chamber after being elbowed.
TV footage shows Trudeau hurriedly wading into a clutch of
lawmakers who were blocking a lawmaker from getting to
his seat as Trudeaus Liberals tried to get a vote in on time.
The video shows Trudeau pulling the lawmaker in order to
get a vote started on limiting debate on the governments
euthanasia legislation. As Trudeau turned around to pull the
lawmaker, Brosseau can be seen grimacing in pain.
Lawmakers said the prime minister used an expletive.

NATO formally invites


Montenegro as 29th member
BRUSSELS NATO invited the Balkan nation of
Montenegro to become its 29th member, agreeing Thursday
to expand for only the seventh time in its history despite
Russias angry objections.
The decision is still subject to formal approval by the
U.S. Senate, the alliances 27 other national parliaments
and Montenegros parliament.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said it was the
beginning of a new secure chapter in the former Yugoslav
republics history. He and U.S. Secretary of State John
Kerry hailed the move as proof that NATO is committed to its
open door policy of expansion despite opposition from
Russia or any other country.
Montenegros accession underscores once again our
determination to be able to make membership decisions that
are free from outside influences and underscores our resolve
to stand together against any kind of threat, Kerry said.
Montenegrin Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic attended
the signing of an accession protocol at NATO headquarters
in Brussels.

Terrorism suspected in crash


of Egyptian jet; 66 feared dead
By Maggie Michael, Elena
Becadoros and Raphael Satter
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAIRO An EgyptAir jetliner en


route from Paris to Cairo with 66 people aboard veered wildly in flight and
crashed in the Mediterranean Sea early
Thursday, authorities said. Egyptian
and Russian officials said it may have
been brought down by terrorists.
There were no signs of survivors.
EgyptAir Flight 804, an Airbus
A320 with 56 passengers and 10 crew
members, went down about halfway
between the Greek island of Crete and
Egypts coastline, or around 175 miles
(282 kilometers) offshore, after takeoff from Charles de Gaulle Airport,
authorities said.
Greek Defense Minister Panos
Kammenos said the plane spun all the
way around and suddenly lost altitude
just before vanishing from radar
screens around 2:45 a.m. Cairo time
(12:45 a.m. GMT).
He said it made a 90-degree left turn,
then a full 360-degree turn to the right,

plummeting from 38,000 feet (11,582


meters) to 15,000 feet (4,572 meters).
It disappeared at about 10,000 feet
(3,048 meters), he said. There were no
reports of stormy weather at the time.
Egyptian and Greek authorities in
ships and planes searched the suspected crash area throughout the day for
traces of the airliner or its victims,
with more help on the way from the
U.S., Britain and France.
But as night fell, they had yet to find
any confirmed debris, at one point dismissing a reported sighting of life
vests and other floating material.
Civil Aviation Minister Sherif Fathi
cautioned that the disaster was still
under investigation but said the possibility it was a terror attack is higher
than the possibility of having a technical failure.
Alexander Bortnikov, chief of
Russias top domestic security agency,
went further, saying: In all likelihood
it was a terror attack.
There was no immediate claim from
militants that they had downed the
plane.
If it was terrorism, it would be the

second deadly attack involving


Egypts aviation industry in seven
months.
Last October, a Russian passenger
plane that took off from an Egyptian
Red Sea resort crashed in the Sinai,
killing all 224 people aboard. Russia
said it was brought down by a bomb,
and a local branch of the Islamic State
claimed responsibility.
Thursdays disaster also raises questions about security at De Gaulle
Airport, at a time when Western Europe
has been on high alert over the deadly
Islamic extremist attacks in Paris and
at the Brussels airport and subway over
the past six months.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc
Ayrault said that airport security had
been tightened considerably before the
disaster, in part because of the coming
European soccer championship, which
France is hosting.
The Egyptian military said it did not
receive a distress call from the doomed
plane, and Egypts state-run daily AlAhram quoted an unidentified airport
official as saying the pilot did not send
one.

Gosling-Crowe chemistry
livens uneven Nice Guys
Crowe mocks method acting
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CANNES, France Russell Crowe has an


uncomplicated approach to acting: The
Russell Crowe Method, he calls it.
Thats what the actor said at the Cannes
Film Festival on Sunday before the premiere
of his 1970s detective comedy The Nice
Guys. Asked about his process, Crowe
bluntly explained that hes proudly
unschooled in drama, though hes been acting since he was 6 years old.
Over time you get more and more efficient at getting to the center of the character
youre portraying. I dont even know what
the Stanislavski method may be, Crowe

told reporters, adding: And I dont care to


know.
Its not complicated, summarized the
52-year-old Oscar-winning actor. If you
want to be an actor, work it out yourself.
Crowe then misidentified an old Spencer
Tracy quote: Learn your dialogue and dont
bump into the furniture.
Written and directed by Shane Black, The
Nice Guys premiered last Sunday in Cannes.
Crowe stars alongside Ryan Gosling, and
both were happy to deflect questions of finding chemistry together.
Gosling maintained its a new setting on
digital cameras: They just do it in post, he
said.

By Jocelyn Noveck
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Take two charismatic actors. Give them


characters that are, on the surface, totally
incompatible. Plunk them into your basic
whodunit, a mismatched team fighting fillin-the-blank bad guys. Stir in some shootem-up action, and poof: You have a buddy
cop movie, one of the most durable formulas in Hollywood.
Now, technically, Ryan Gosling and
Russell Crowe dont play cops in The Nice
Guys, by writer-director Shane Black (who
knows a thing about buddy cop movies,
having written Lethal Weapon back in
1987.) Ones a bumbling private investigator, the other a low-life hired enforcer. But
the equations the same, and like a buddycop movie (or a porn film more on that

later) the important thing isnt the plot. Its


the chemistry.
Gosling and Crowe do have chemistry,
and an obvious sense of humor which gets
them far. Theyd have gotten farther,
though, if the movie, while at times hilarious, didnt have such an uneven feel, particularly a nasty edge that simply clashes with
the desired jocular tone. Yes, theres such a
thing as dark comedy, but this is a comedy
that occasionally just makes you feel
queasy. There were moments I knew I was
supposed to be laughing but found myself
scribbling in my notes: hmm, funny but
not?
Then again, there are some inspired
moments, such as when enforcer Jackson
Healy (Crowe, paunchy and amiably violent) tracks down Holland March (Gosling

Louis C.K. talks yearlong tour, Prince inspiration


By Derrik J. Lang
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Louis C.K. is leaving


Hollywood. For now.
The actor-comedian has pushed pause on
his FX series and is launching a yearlong
or more, he hasnt decided yet stand-up
comedy tour comprised of all-new material.
The Emmy-winning star of FXs Louie
kicked off the trek Tuesday in Baltimore and
has summer dates mapped out across North
America and Europe, with stops in such
cities as Minneapolis, St. Louis, Chicago,
London, Paris and Jerusalem. He plans to
continue through at least December.
In an interview with the Associated Press,
the Trumbo and Blue Jasmine actorcomedian discussed keeping his ticket
prices to about $50, performing for international crowds and being inspired by Prince.
(Material has been edited for brevity.)
As s o c i at e d Pre s s : Wh y di d y o u
want to do thi s to ur no w?
Lo ui s C. K. : Ive been doing stand-up
for the last 31 years. For the last few years,
Ive been taking part of the year to tour and
the other part to do productions, like my
series. I think since Ive been doing the
series on FX, Ive been splitting the time. I
realized this year that the best you can be as
a stand-up is when all youre ever doing is
stand-up, so I wanted to devote a lot of
time to being on the road.
AP: Yo u hav e s ev eral i nternati o nal dates . When y o ure perf o rmi n g i n a p l ac e l i k e
Jerus al em, do y o u al ter y o ur
materi al ?
Lo ui s C. K. : No, I dont
think that makes any sense.
Theyre there to see an
American comedian. I think
when you try to gear anything to an audience, you

end up as a softer, weaker version of yourself.


I
remember
when
I
saw
Trainspotting. That was purely made for
Scottish people. I loved it, but I
couldnt understand half the
(expletive) they were saying. It was exciting and
kept you on the edge of
your seat. If they had
done an American version where they slowed
it down and used our
words, it would have
sucked.
AP: Yo ure ag ai n
keepi ng
ti cket
pri ces l o w fo r fans
an d f e n di n g o f f
s c al p e rs ,
wh i c h
y o u v e do n e f o r
s ev eral y ears no w. Is
i t g etti ng eas i er o r
mo re di ffi cul t to do
that?
Lo ui s C. K. : For me, the
bigger rooms I play and more
work I get, the less I
should
charge.
Thats just
m
y

personal formula. If Im making more


money, I can afford to charge less. It doesnt
make sense to go in the other direction,
which is: Im making more, so I
can charge more, then I
make more. Thats getting crazy. When I look
at the math, if I lower
my tickets to this
price, Im still making
plenty
and
happy with it. I
always look at
comedians who are
not as popular as
me and try to
charge less than
them.
AP: Yo u s ai d
i n an i nterv i ew
wi t h
Ho ward
Stern l as t mo nth
that y o u were mi l l i o ns o f do l l ars i n

Ho race and Pete. Why no t us e the


to ur as an o ppo rtuni ty to fi l l y o ur
co ffers back up?
Lo ui s C. K. : When I told Howard I went
into debt, I didnt actually lose that money.
Its all back now. The shows already made
back the debt. Im out. Im in the black now.
Thats just from sales of the series. With all
the charging less and investing money to
keep the prices down, Im still making a ton
of money.
AP: Ho w do es y o ur demo crati zati o n
o f ti cket s al es affect the cro wd?
Lo ui s C. K. : When I started doing this, I
noticed a change immediately. Before, I
would look in the front row and see guys
that look like they should be in Cigar
Aficionado. Sometimes, they arent even
fans. They just wanted to show off that they
could get a tough ticket. Its not fun to play
for those people. When we do the tickets
this way, people freak that they can buy
front-row seats for face value. I get off on
that. It makes for a better crowd.
AP: I i mag i ne i t el ectri fi es y o ur
fans ? I remember the l as t ti me I s aw
Pri nce. It was at the Fo rum fo r hi s
2 1 Ni g ht Stand res i dency, and I
o nl y pai d $ 2 5 .
Lo ui s C. K. : Yeah, one of the independent promotors I work with who used to
work with Prince told me that he
would send batches of tickets for
his shows to record stores in the
middle of the cities he was playing, you know, like black
record stores in Harlem or
Cincinnati or wherever, so
that fans whod been with
him since the beginning
could get tickets. I
found that
really
inspiring when I heard
that story a few years
ago.

Morley Safer, who helped create CBS News, dead at 84


By Frazier Moore
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Viewers didnt need to see


Morley Safers reporting to feel its effects.
They could have almost heard the yowling from the Oval Office and the Pentagon
after Safers 1965 expose of a U.S. military
atrocity in Vietnam that played an early role
in changing Americans view of the war.
They may have felt a flush of gratitude on
learning that Safers 1983 investigation of
justice gone awry resulted in the release of a
Texas man wrongfully sentenced to life in
prison.
Perhaps they headed to their wine shop
with a heightened sense of purpose after
word spread of Safers story that quoted medical experts who said red wine can be good
for you.
Safers far-flung journalism got reactions
and results during a 61-year career that found
him equally at home reporting on social
wrongs, the Orient Express, abstract art and
the horrors of war.
That career came to an end this week, with
a 60 Minutes tribute on Sunday and, then,
with Safers death, at age 84, on Thursday.

March also has his pants down. Watch
Gosling juggle pointing a gun, keeping an
annoying stall door open, and hiding his

This has to be one of Goslings most entertaining performances.

He is survived by his wife, the former

Safer, who had been in declining health,
watched Sundays program from his
Manhattan home, CBS said, and shortly
thereafter tweeted what would be his last dispatch: Its been a wonderful run, and I want
to thank the millions of people who have
been loyal to our 60 Minutes broadcast.
Thank you!
NBC News Special Correspondent Tom
Brokaw visited with Safer last Friday, two
days after his retirement was announced.
They spoke about the towering journalists of Safers era, men like The Washington
Posts Ben Bradlee and 60 Minutes creator-executive producer Don Hewitt.
Safer said quietly, All the great ones are
gone, Brokaw recalled in an email.
No Morley, youre still with us, Brokaw
replied before kissing Safer on the forehead.
During his 46 years on 60 Minutes,
Safer did 919 stories, from his first in 1970
about U.S. Sky Marshals to his last this
March, a profile of Danish architect Bjarke
Ingels.

Television journalist Morley Safer, who made his reputation as a Vietnam War correspondent
for CBS and then became a mainstay on the networks 60 Minutes show for 46 years, died at
age 84 on Thursday, a few days after his retirement.

The plot isnt easy to explain (or grasp)


quickly, but here goes: Were in 1970s Los
Angeles, a city rife with smog, porn stars
and ill-fitting suits. In a prelude, a young
boy reaches under his parents bed to
inspect their Playboy, featuring naked
porn star Misty Mountain. Moments later,
the same boy witnesses a horrific car crash
in which a dying Mountain herself appears
lying just as sexily and naked on her
wrecked car. (Funny but not?)
What does Misty have to do with Amelia?
Thanks for asking, but who knows?
Amelias a missing young woman that
March has been hired to find. But Amelia
herself has hired Healy to take care of the
guys searching for her. At least one of them
is March, which is how he ended up howling

on that kitchen floor.


But there are bigger forces apparently
engulfing Amelia: Corporate greed, and
government malfeasance, and environmental activism stuff like that. Also: Why
does everyone involved in Misty
Mountains last porno keep dying?
Helping March and Healy figure it all out
is Marchs whip-smart tween daughter,
Holly (an appealing Angourie Rice), who
keeps showing up when shes not supposed
to. Holly, sort of a Nancy Drew but in an Rrated film, keeps ending up in peril, either
to her life or her moral upbringing (the 13year-old is forced to watch and discuss porn
at one point). Shes also a moral compass
for Healy, at one point sweetly asking if
hes just murdered a guy lying in the road

REUTERS

while she went to get help, because that


would be wrong. (Well, at least it gets him
thinking.)
It all ends up in an incredibly energetic,
chaotic shoot-em-up. Its fun in a manic sort
of way, but it might have been more fun to
clear away some of the dust or smog
and just watch two charismatic pros spar
with each other. Maybe in the sequel.

MARINA
Continued from page 1
Next year, he said, could work but the
residents have to see the value and benefit in the proposal.
The State Lands Commission ruled in
April that it would allow the city to
negotiate with residents to come up with
a legislative solution to keep the marina
in place after the city settled a $4.5 million lawsuit that essentially calls for
Docktown residents and their boats to
start relocating in 2017.
The marina is technically a violation
of the public trust but was allowed to
exist for 50 years because basically no
one complained about it.
That may have changed when the city
took over management of the marina.
Redwood City has been the trustee of
Redwood Creek and tidelands since
1954 and took over operating the marina in 2013 after its then owner Fred
Earnhardt Jr. opted to no longer oversee
the harbor, which had fallen into disrepair.
It has about 70 liveaboards and 100
residents on the property now.
The city presented a plan to the State
Lands Commission to preserve the
marina for 15 years on the following
conditions:
The city would prohibit new tenants,
new liveaboard watercraft and transfer of
existing watercraft at Docktown;
The city would mandate that all liveaboard watercraft be owner-occupied or
city owned. No subleases would be
allowed; and
The city would report to the State
Lands Commission regularly on the status of Docktown and public access
improvements in the area.
Lee Callister, however, rents slips
from the city for three vessels and the

decade because of ongoing legal challenges.
Only 13 condemned inmates have
been executed in the state since 1978.
The group that wants to repeal the
death penalty wants it replaced with life
in prison without parole. They say eliminating the death penalty will lead to
$150 million in annual savings.
Wagstaffe, however, said the reform
measure he supports will also save the
state about $100 million a year.
There are also not enough attorneys in
the state properly trained to handle
death penalty cases or others who simply refuse to take them.
The reform measure would prevent
attorneys from accessing state money
for turning down the cases.

owner-occupied condition does not


work for him as he rents out the vessels
to others.
But private residential use of public
trust lands is not allowed under state law.
Callister has been the most vocal resident in the effort to save Docktown.
He said neither the city nor the lawmakers would offer residents any concessions while negotiating a legislative
solution.
He also said the city co-opted the
State Lands Commission meeting to
present its own solution for the marina.
Callister and other residents had hoped
the commission would allow the marina
to stay put forever with a grandfather
clause like it has done elsewhere in the
state.
Technically, the marina is considered
a violation of the public trust and
shouldnt be allowed to exist since it
interferes with the publics recreational
use of Redwood Creek, according to an
informal opinion by the state Attorney
Generals Office.
Callister thinks now, however, that
the city used State Lands, he said, to get
rid of us.
Attorneys for Docktown will sit down
with members of Hills office Friday to
try one more time to find agreement,
Callister said Thursday evening.
When the city settled a $4.5 million
lawsuit in January, it agreed to set aside
$3 million into a fund to clean up any
environmental messes the floating
community has caused to Redwood
Creek and to help residents of the marina to relocate elsewhere.
The remaining $1.5 million was paid
to attorney Ted Hannig, who filed the
complaint against the city in November
2015.
Under terms of the settlement, the city
must develop an action plan by the end
of 2016 to bring the marina into legal
compliance and must show progress by
the end of 2017.

Hannig sued collectively on behalf of


all citizens of California since public
trust lands should be accessible by all
and not just the 100 or so people who
call Docktown home.
It is also a violation of state law to
profit off of public trust lands.
Hill said Thursday that if the residents
provide unanimous support for a legislative solution that a bill could be
introduced again next year to preserve
the community for 15 years as the State
Lands Commission approved.
But Callister said in response:
Theres no way you can get unanimous
support.
Callister does not speak on behalf of
all residents.
There are still people here who want
this deal, he said about the legislation.
He thinks now that city officials have
quietly worked to have Docktown
removed.
The city has been out to get us from
the beginning, Callister said Thursday.
Why should we be punished?
The citys Inner Harbor Specific Plan
contains a scenario in which the marina
would be relocated to nearby private
property at the Ferrari pond. But
Docktown residents say there is no guarantee they would be allowed to relocate
there.
The Ferrari owner appears to want to
build a more upscale marina like in
Sausalito, if permitted.
The legislation Redwood City sought
would balance the hardship of requiring
near-term relocation of all tenants with
the public need for greater recreational
access to the area, Mayor John Seybert
wrote in a letter to the State Lands
Commission prior to its April decision.
Seybert did not want comment for this
article.
City officials also contend the city is
losing money by managing the marina
although it is set to hire a general manager soon to oversee it.

San Quentin would not be the only


state prison that has a death row under
the measure, other prisons would also be
able to house convicts sentenced to capital punishment.
The real goal is making sure families
of the victim can see justice is done,
Wagstaffe said about reforming the
death penalty.
Some convicts can sit on death row
for up to 30 years. Wagstaffe said the
time could be reduced to 12 to 15 years
and still allow the convicted to exercise
a complete appeals process.
Death row inmates have killed more
than 1,000 people, including 43 cops,
Wagstaffe said Thursday.
If both measures are certified for the
ballot and pass in November, the initiative with the most votes will become
law.
The Death Penalty Reform and
Savings Act, he said, will guarantee
rights to a good appeal, bring
immense savings and solace to the

families of the victims.


The deputy campaign manager,
Quintin Mecke, for the Justice That
Works Act, however, said the competing
measure is costly, confusing and poorly designed.
The initiative announced today doubles down on a failed death penalty system. It adds new layers of appeals handled by lower level courts, establishes
mini-death rows around the state and
costs taxpayers even more than the current expensive system, Mecke said.
His campaign concludes that capital
punishment is irreversible and that mistakes happen.
Execution is the ultimate, irrevocable punishment: the risk of executing an
innocent person can never be eliminated. Since 1973, for example, 156 U.S.
prisoners sent to death row have later
been exonerated. Others have been executed despite serious doubts about their
guilt, according to the Justice That
Works Act campaign.

The Department of Homeland Securitys Federal Emergency


Management Agency (FEMA) has issued a Preliminary Flood
Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), and where applicable, Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report, reflecting proposed flood hazard
determinations within San Mateo County, California and Incorporated Areas. These flood hazard determinations may include the addition or modification of Base Flood Elevations,
base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area boundaries or
zone designations, or the regulatory floodway. Technical information or comments are solicited on the proposed flood
hazard determinations shown on the preliminary FIRM and/or
FIS report for various communities within San Mateo County.
These flood hazard determinations are the basis for the floodplain management measures that your community is required
to either adopt or show evidence of being already in effect in
order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program. However, before these determinations are effective for floodplain management purposes, you will be provided an opportunity to appeal the proposed information. For information on the statutory 90-day
period provided for appeals, as well as a complete listing of
the communities affected and the locations where copies of
the FIRM are available for review, please visit FEMAs website at www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/fhm/bfe, or call the FEMA
Map Information eXchange (FMIX) toll free at 1-877-FEMA

balance varying demands when considering
the future of the old Kinkos and Worker
Resource Center sites two 1-acre parcels
purchased with former redevelopment
agency funds at Fifth and Railroad avenues.
After hearing from a group of neighbors
and unable to reach their own consensus on
what to construct at the sites, the council
called for more public outreach on the possibilities as well as a potentially controversial proposal to consider asking the voters
to remove height and density restrictions.
I think there will be some debate
throughout the community on what should
go there and height limits and a variety of
things that have been percolating for a
while, said Councilwoman Maureen
Freschet, according to a live video of the
meeting. We dont have a lot of spaces that
belong to the city, so because its city land,
we have an opportunity to get feedback
from the community.
The properties are currently restricted by
Measure P, a voter-approved law that limits
density and building heights to 45 feet in
most places, but 55 feet on certain parcels
near downtown including the citys two
sites just east of the Caltrain tracks.
Measure P is slated to sunset in 2020, but a
recent task force formed to study the citys
housing crisis suggested the restrictions be
reconsidered to allow for construction of

police department and a federal review of its

Mayor Ed Lee supported the chief in
December and again in April after it was disclosed that three officers had exchanged
racist text messages.
The texting scandal was the second to
rock the department after it was disclosed
that several officers had exchanged racist
messages dating back to before Suhr was
chief. But Suhr was criticized for moving
too slowly to fire the offending officers, all
of whom have retained their jobs because of
the chiefs failure to start disciplinary
action when he first found out about the
inappropriate.
Suhr could not be reached for comment
Thursday.
Protesters demanding Suhrs resignation
drowned out the mayors second inaugural
speech in January, and demonstrators forced
the mayor to abandon a planned speech on

new housing units. And after emotional


hearings culminated with the city opting
not to institute tenant protection measures,
councilmembers expressed a willingness to
ask residents if they would consider lifting
the restrictions to help account for the
increasing demand on housing.
The citys consultants presented several
options for how the city-owned sites could
be redeveloped, including under current
restrictions, and noted nearly double the
number of housing units could be constructed if height limitations were lifted nearly
380 units between two 85-foot-tall buildings.
The very preliminary proposals drew from
years of previous studies on the sites and
included both being used for housing as well
as parking, one being used for housing
while the other solely dedicated to parking,
or one being used for housing while the
other could be used for City Hall or office
space and parking.
As the sites currently provide about 235
publicly accessible parking spaces, the
council must consider replacing them as
well as whether to use the sites as a way to
meet future demands some estimates predict downtown could need between 400 and
1,000 new parking spaces over the next 10
years.
Although the majority of the council
expressed an interest in workforce housing
or providing at least a portion of affordable
units, members of the public expressed concerns about changes to their community.
Several members of the Central
Neighborhood Association voiced opposi-

tion to a 100 percent below-market rate


affordable housing project as well as concerns about height and density limitations
being lifted.
We hope that it is done in a responsible
manner that is sensitive to the needs of all
residents and not just one demographic,
said association member Erica Powell, who
lives near Ninth Avenue.
Powell and association President Laurie
Watanuki noted an 85-foot-tall building
would change the character of the area and
other members suggested a community center where the neighborhood group could
meet would be better suited for the site.
Others urged the city to make residential
street improvements before proceeding
with redevelopment and suggested councilmembers could be in the hot seat during
the next election if they moved to retract
height limitations.
But in general, the handful of speakers
focused on pleading the city to involve the
association in the outreach and planning
process.
Were very interested in the future of the
South Claremont area in the corridor plan
and wed like to be included in all future
meetings, Watanuki said. These two lots
are really in our neighborhood.
The council heeded their concerns and
moved to conduct more outreach while also
indicating housing is a top priority for the
two sites.
The city will continue to refine its goals
for the sites before asking architecture firms
to submit proposals.
The sites were purchased years ago with

money from San Mateos now defunct redevelopment agency, which served as a valuable tool to fund affordable housing goals
before Gov. Jerry Brown dissolved them
statewide in 2012.
Preliminary estimates for redeveloping
the sites, such as a 90,000-square-foot City
Hall, run close to $70 million, according to
staff. Building a parking structure would
also require new funds as creating a single
underground spaces costs about $60,000
while an above-ground one runs $40,000
per space. Councilmembers suggested partnering with nonprofit affordable housing
developers if the city wants to create units
at the transit-oriented sites, which are just a
short walk from the Caltrain station, retail,
restaurants and entertainment in downtown.
Mayor Joe Goethals noted the city has
heeded prior concerns from the Central
Neighborhood Association and taken action
on items such as the pop-up used car lot on
Fourth Avenue, issues with day laborers
congregating on the streets and traffic complaints. He expressed optimism that the
redevelopment of the sites could create a
better pedestrian experience for the neighborhood as they move into the citys
bustling downtown and noted this as an
opportunity to address the citys affordable
housing crisis.
I get that were at the beginning of this
process, so I look forward to working with
all the stakeholders, including our Central
Neighborhood. But were facing a crisis,
Goethals said, adding redeveloping the
sites will just enhance the downtown and
really activate that space.

Nonetheless, the mayor stood behind the
chief, and the two announced a series of
reforms aimed at reducing police shootings.
The two also called in the U.S. Department
of Justice to review the departments policy
and procedures.
Suhr renewed his call for reform April 8
after an officer shot and killed a Latino
homeless man who police said refused
orders to drop a large knife.
But Suhr lost Lees backing Thursday,
after a patrol car prowling an industrial
neighborhood for stolen vehicles came
across a 27-year-old black woman sitting
behind the wheel of a parked car.
Police said the car had been reported
stolen.
Officers turned on the patrol cars lights
and sounded its siren, and the woman to
sped off in the stolen car. A few second later
and about 100 feet away, the stolen car
slammed into a parked utility truck.
The officers jumped out of the patrol car
and raced to the wreckage, where the woman
was revving the car in an effort to disengage
the auto from the truck. Suhr said a witness
reported that the officers opened the drivers

door and began grabbing the woman in


attempt to arrest her.
At that point, a sergeant fired one fatal
round.
This is exactly the kind of thing with all
the reforms we are trying to prevent, Suhr
said Thursday, less than two hours after the
shooting and before he resigned.
The mayor said he asked for and received
Suhrs resignation.
The progress weve made has been meaningful, but it hasnt been fast enough, Lee
said in a brief statement at City Hall. Not
for me, not for Greg.
Neither the police nor the San Francisco
Medical Examiner has released the identity
of the dead woman. She was shot in the
same neighborhood where the five officers
shot and killed Mario Woods, the 26-yearold black man carrying a knife.
Video of Woods shooting circulated widely online and led to protests and calls for
Suhrs resignation.
But at the time, the chief still enjoyed the
backing of the mayor and other community
leaders, who said they wanted to give Suhr
time to implement the reforms he promised.
Some of the reforms underway might

have prevented or clarified todays incident, the mayor said Thursday. We need to
turn these plans into actions.
Lee appointed Suhr chief in 2011. He was
a 34-year veteran of the department who
rose through the ranks despite several professional missteps.
He was demoted from deputy chief to captain in 2009 after failing to file a police
report after a female friend told him she had
been assaulted by her boyfriend.
The city last year paid $725,000 to settle
a wrongful termination lawsuit filed by a
former department lawyer who recommended Suhr be fired for failing to report his
friends assault. When Suhr became chief,
he fired the lawyer.
Suhr was also re-assigned from head of
patrol in 2005 to guarding the citys water
supply, which was widely viewed as a demotion.
Two years earlier, he was one of several
officers indicted in the citys so-called
Fajitagate for allegedly trying to cover up
an investigation of three off-duty officers
who had beaten up a waiter and took his bag
of Mexican food. The indictment was tossed
out.
