County education ofcials seem
to be happy as trial tests associated
with a new curriculum are wrapping
up for many high schools and are
still underway for many elementary
school districts.
The new tests do pose a challenge
for students and teachers unaccus-
tomed to the Common Core stan-
dards computer-based Smarter
Balanced Assessments that contain
different, and sometimes higher
level, questions than the old
Standardized Testing and Reporting,
or STAR, tests. The new state stan-
dards take effect next year. Field
testing are running between March
18 and June 6. So far, 1.75 million
students across the state have com-
pleted testing, according to the
California Department of Education.
The San Mateo Ofce of Education
has been working to gather data to
nd out how the process is going for
county districts. Administrators,
students and teachers are both being
surveyed online. There are some
general understandings about how
things are going so far, said Nancy
Magee, administrator for board sup-
port and community relations at the
county Ofce of Education.
High schools are more equipped
to handle the technology aspect of
this since they have computer labs
and classrooms that are supplied
with classroom full of computers,
she said. Elementary kids are typ-
ing a little bit slower and thats
something thats being addressed in
the elementary curriculum.
Common Core is asking higher-
level questions. Whats really great
about this is from what Ive been
told is districts arent trying to
swoop and create quick xes, but
allowing a natural testing environ-
ment to occur to see what things

The Maple Street Shelter in
Redwood City houses 75 single
people, offering them shelter, care
and meals.
All this without a commercial
kitchen let alone a sink.
All that will change because San
Mateo County is allocating more
than $2 million in affordable
housing funds to nearly double the
shelters size, seismically upgrade
the facility and move beyond cart-
ing in every meal and relying on
two microwaves and a refrigerator.
This is an
unique and
amazing oppor-
tunity because
we would have
been faced with
doing an exten-
sive capital
campaign to
raise the bal-
ance of the
funds, said Mila Zelkha, director
of strategic relations for InnVision
Shelter Network, which operates
the county-owned shelter.

Whether you like something
sweet, sour, spicy, tangy or tart,
the owners of a Belmont-based
organic company say they have
something in stock.
The namesake JerkN Pickle
company is David and Denise
Yossos family concoction of
recipes theyve been perfecting
for three years after tapping into a
niche market of their own.
We dont have any competi-
tion, theres plenty of people
making pickles and plenty of peo-
ple making jerky, but no ones
making both and were proud of
what weve accomplished in this
short time for getting where were
at. And yes, were very unique and
we pride ourselves on that, David
Yosso said. I mean who doesnt
like beef jerky and pickles?
David Yosso, 36, said he makes
and designs playground equipment
while Denise Yosso, 41, used to be
in the wine business. However,
about three years ago, they began
to work with Denises brother
pickling and making beef jerky.
The three buckled down to per-
fect the pickle-jerky duo and we
have a winning name, but we have
a very serious product, David
Yosso said.
Their carnivorous customers can
choose from eight avors of all
natural, pasture-raised angus beef
jerky that includes teriyaki,
habanero and gluten and sugar
free.
For those who prefer some with
a crunch, their artisan pickle line
boasts unique and original mixes
like dill, spicy, half sour and bar-
rel fermented pickles. But the
pickling doesnt stop there;
Jerkn Pickle also sells spicy
green beans, jalapenos and beets.
All are certied organic from Webb
Ranch in Portola Valley, David
Yosso said.
Denise Yosso said the JerkN
Pickle idea stemmed from her
childhood in Southern California
and David Yossos growing up in
New York.
Ive been eating beef jerky my
whole life. We used to take road

Squirrel goes nuts on
Maine teenager taking selfie
AUBURN, Maine A photo op
with a squirrel that went awry has left a
teenager ustered but unhurt.
Seventeen-year-old Brian Genest, of
Auburn, said Thursday he saw what
appeared to be a friendly squirrel on a
hand rail while walking through John
Chestnut Park near Tampa, Florida. He
was on a trip looking at colleges.
Genest took a sele of himself and
the squirrel. But the ash and noises
from his camera phone scared the
squirrel, which climbed under his shirt
and hung onto his back before scam-
pering out.
He was just in that spot where my
arm cant reach him, Genest said. I
threw myself on the ground, and that
scared him off.
Genests mother, Paula Wright,
snapped photos of the hoopla, origi-
nally posted to his Instagram feed
along with his sele.
Genest had approached the squirrel
making clicking sounds with his
tongue to get closer. His mother said
the spectacle Saturday taught him a
lesson.
I think he got a little lesson from
the squirrel that hes not really its
buddy, she said.
She said neither her son nor the
squirrel was harmed.
New York Police baseball
teams jerseys stolen in Texas
NEW YORK Most thieves would
balk at stealing on the NYPD baseball
team, but the squad has been forced to
cancel a tournament championship
game after someone made off with its
jerseys, gloves and bats.
The New York Post reports the team
comprised of New York City police of-
cers was at a tournament in Texas when
about $15,000 worth of gear and equip-
ment was stolen from a team minivan.
Team manager Jose Vasquez tells the
Post the police officers spent the
morning filling out police reports
instead of taking the eld.
The self-funded team, New Yorks
Finest Baseball Club, was scheduled to
play the Dallas Fire Department.
Family who lost dog
during Sandy finds it at pound
EATONTOWN, N.J. ANew Jersey
family whose terrier-pit bull mix
escaped from their backyard during
Superstorm Sandy went to an animal
shelter this week to adopt a new pet
and came home with their old dog.
Chuck James tells The Associated
Press that his family searched for the
brown-and-white dog named Reckless
for months after the October 2012
storm before nally giving up hope.
We reported him missing and called
the shelters periodically, just hoping
they had him, James said Saturday.
We always kept our hopes up, but
eventually its time to move on.
James said the family had planned in
recent weeks to get a new dog as a 10th
birthday surprise for their eldest
daughter, Ally.
But when the family of ve went to
the Monmouth County SPCA on
Thursday to adopt a new animal, James
and his wife approached the rst cage
and saw a familiar face inside.
He was a little bigger than I remem-
bered because they had fed him well,
James joked. But then he was laying
on my wifes feet, and I knew it was
him. ... I was in disbelief. I know this
dog is meant to be with our family.
When SPCA ofcials asked if they
could prove the animal was their dog,
a friend sent over a picture showing
the family with their dog before Sandy
hit the Jersey shore.
Were all so happy to have him
back, James said. Thank God for no-
kill shelters because every time they
kill an animal, its somebodys friend
who might be lost. Thank God they
didnt put him down because this
would have been a different story.
SPCA officials say Reckless was
picked up as a stray and has now been
microchipped.
The family is living in a hotel while
their storm-damaged Keansburg home
is repaired. This weekend, the Jameses
went on a camping trip with Reckless
to celebrate the dogs return.

n 1769, Captain Gaspar de Portola was
the rst European to experience and
record an earthquake in California. It
happened about 30 miles southeast of Los
Angeles. The expedition continued their
trip north and eventually found themselves
camping in a small, beautiful valley that
had a stream owing through the middle of
it. Abeautiful valley, Portola commented.
On Nov. 30, 1774, when Captain
Fernando Riveras exploratory group was
returning from their exploration trip to San
Francisco, they stopped in a little valley
they named Canada de San Andres Valley
(later spelled Andreas) to honor their patron
saint, St. Andrew. These men thought it was
a beautiful little valley. Eventually, this
valley was discovered to have a great more
inuence on California than anyone could
imagine. From the air, it appears to be to
have been made from a nice sharp knife cut
a large knife. It is denitely a uniquely
formed valley. In 1893, geologist Andrew
Lawson recognized this quaint valley as
having been formed by a tremendous fault
that ran the length of California the San
Andreas Fault.
In the 1950s, a little-known article pub-
lished by a geologist, Alfred Wagner, stated
that the crust of the earth had moved and is
still moving. It was an earthshaking idea at
that time. Impossible, skeptics said. Now,
however, after examination of the oceans
and mountains around the world, we know it
is a fact. Those east of Skyline Boulevard
live on what is named the North American
Plate. As the Pacic Plate moved eastward
against the stable Northern American Plate,
the Pacific Plate ducks under the North
American Plate in the California region and
the ensuing slide has scraped off some of the
millions of years of accumulated ocean oor
debris nearer to the surface.
This movement of the plates is associated
with breaks in rocks as they slide by one
another, and earthquakes are formed and felt.
An example of a surface that is being
stretched by this movement can be found
on Skyline Boulevard, south of San Bruno
Avenue. The surface of Skyline Boulevard
had been repaved many times since I have
resided in the area but eventually cracks are
formed on the roadbed. These cracks indi-
cate the movement of the San Andres Fault
underneath. Another example can be
observed east of Sharp Park/Skyline
Boulevard, on Westborough Boulevard.
About a block east of this intersection,
across from a small shopping center and
apartment houses, the roadway of
Westborough Boulevard had been repaired
many times as it continually forms a dip
in the road due to the San Andreas Fault slid-
ing the road north and south. When the dip
is deep enough again, the road repair crew
will have to ll it in and start over again. In
fact, north of this dip, a fence was
observed having moved more than 20 feet
during the 1906 earthquake. Sag ponds,
formed by the fault have now been lled in
and apartments constructed on the site in
order to erase all surface trace of the fault.
On April 18, 1906, an earthquake
occurred (8.3 Richter) in this area, with a
great deal of damage and loss of life.
Twenty-five-thousand houses were
destroyed. San Franciscos population was
about 400,000 before the earthquake. Only
200,000 was living there a year after the
quake. This quake moved the earth in many
places 20 to 30 feet.
A great migration down the Peninsula
began after the quake and fire in San
Francisco resulting in a great deal of set-
tling on the small San Mateo County vil-
When will the next one happen?
The colored line traces the path of the San Andreas Fault down the Peninsula. (Daly City is to
the left and the ocean at the bottom right.)

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The countys plan to auction
off two office towers to the high-
est bidder later this month will
move one step closer to reality
Monday when the San Carlos
Planning Commission is expect-
ed to agree that the sale conforms
with its general plan.
One and Two Circle Star Way,
known collectively as Circle Star
Plaza, sits primarily in the city of
San Carlos which is why any land
decisions by the county must also
be vetted by its officials. At
Monday nights Planning
Commission meeting, city staff
recommend the members adopt a
resolution finding the sale of the
four-story office buildings and
the three-story parking garage,
which sits partially in the city,
conform to its city plan. If the
commission does not, the county
cannot dispose of the parcels.
The buildings, which were pur-
chased for $40 million 2011 as a
way to relocate departments and
911 dispatch, will be auctioned
for a minimum sealed bid of $85.5
million at the May 20 Board of
Supervisors meeting. After buy-
ing the buildings, the countys
space needs downsized and offi-
cials learned that making them
seismically compliant would cost
more than building an entirely
new facility. Instead, the county
leased first one and then both
towers to SoftBank, a telecommu-
nication and mobile company
which owns a majority of Sprint
Nextel. In 2013, county officials
began mulling a sale.
The current use conforms to the
San Carlos general plans blue-
print for its industrial area and the
sale does too because the guiding
principle is to provide for a
vibrant, diverse and sustainable
economy that provides a range of
employment and generates suffi-
cient revenue to maintain high
quality city services, according
to the city staff report.
The San Carlos Planning
Commission meets Monday, May
5 at City Hall, 600 Elm St., San
Carlos.

Teens burglarizing
home caught on video
Two teens were arrested for bur-
glarizing a home in Redwood
City on Thursday morning, a
police lieutenant said.
The 17-year-old boys entered
an unoccupied home through a
second-story window in the 900
block of Glennan Drive around
9:50 a.m., Lt. Sean Hart said.
They ransacked the home for
valuables that were easily trans-
portable, Hart said.
The homes security system
recorded the boys inside the
home, he said. Once the boys
realized the home was equipped
with cameras they fled, leaving
behind most of the property,
according to Hart.
Responding officers reviewed
the homes video surveillance
footage and identified one of the
two boys from prior police con-
tacts, Hart said.
Detectives were able to locate
that boy soon after and arrested
him, according to Hart.
The other boy was identified
during the investigation late
Thursday, Hart said.
Both boys were booked into
juvenile hall on felony residen-
tial burglary charges.

Superior Court. Each hope to ll the position
vacated by Judge Beth Freeman who was
appointed to the federal bench.
Both Hayden and Greenberg sat down indi-
vidually with the Daily Journal to discuss
their qualications and why they are seeking
the job. Judicial candidates are slightly ham-
pered in that they cannot discuss concrete
details about what they would and would not
do on the bench.
In California, judges serve six-year terms
and are elected in nonpartisan races.
Vacancies between elections are lled by
gubernatorial appointments.
Greenberg, 54, is currently a court com-
missioner whose assignments include trafc,
small claims and parole revocations. Acom-
missioner does essentially the same job as a
judge but is often given misdemeanors and
lower level matters although the presiding
judge can assign others as he or she sees t .
Commissioners also cannot vote with judges
or preside over budgets and court assign-
ments.
For Greenberg, a former prosecutor and pri-
vate practice attorney in her 14th year as a
commissioner, the list of types of cases over
which she has no experience like workers
compensation is far shorter than those with
which she is familiar.
She studied economics and accounting and
her law degree is from Hastings College of
the University of California.
Hayden, 55, is an attorney in private prac-
tice that contracts with the countys private
defender program to represent clients who
cannot afford to hire their own attorney. Born
and raised in San Mateo County, Hayden
received his law degree from the University of
Southern California and spent a stint in Los
Angeles as a public defender before returning.
He also clerked in the district court and served
as a judge pro tem. He is certied as a criminal
law specialist, volunteers with the local and
state bar and is slated to be the local associa-
tions president next year.
So why set that aside for a judgeship?
This is my way of giving back, he said.
I want to be working for the community as a
whole instead of just the person sitting next
me.
Greenberg touts her 30-plus years of expe-
rience, particularly on the bench, as a key
reason for voters to favor her. Hayden also
points to his experience, saying the wide
variety makes him uniquely suited to take the
bench.
Technology, judicial backlog
Both Hayden and Greenberg look to tech-
nology and new tools as the answer to clear-
ing clogged court calendars, speeding up tri-
als and matters where time can be essential
like restraining orders and divorces and
improving access to justice.
Greenberg said she is one of the few current
tech savvy bench ofcers and said she has
personally pushed for paperless or at least
very limited paper in her court. Other judges
have chafed at the idea of leless systems but
Greenberg said we really need to embrace
our technology. For instance, she said, it
takes eight man-hours to pull the les for a
days appearances. Pulling them as needed on
a computer saves precious time for staff and
those appearing, she said.
The court delays civil trials scheduled an
average of a year out in incremental appear-
ances, for example is the biggest problem
with the local judicial system along with
statewide funding cuts that have slashed staff
and further crippled the workload, Greenberg
said.
If this continues, only those with the
nancial resources to keep up with the con-
stant stops and starts will have access to jus-
tice, she said.
Hayden also touts innovation and says that
always turning to those inside the bubble
already isnt going to bring the new ideas
such e-ling and digitizing documents.
One such suggestion is restructuring how
courtrooms are used. Hayden said budget cuts
now have judges handling cases pro tem
judges once did and courtrooms sit idle wait-
ing for jury trial assignments while other
matters are handled. He asks, why not have a
calendar at 8:30 a.m., a half-hour early, for
those quick turnaround issues so that they
dont back up the trial assignments?
He also said there are law rms willing to
volunteer paralegals to help clear the backlog
and would encourage court staff and clients
frustrated by the slow process to lobby the
state Administrative Ofce of the Courts and
legislators to restore needed funding.
If elected, Hayden said he wants to be a
team player and tackle any assignment he
receives although he does have a preference
for juvenile or criminal. Greenberg is also
willing to take on juvenile for a few years
although she is also open. She also believes
herself to have a knack for family law.
Court alternatives
Both candidates praise the Superior Courts
alternative courts like the Pathways Mental
Health Court, Bridges and Drug Court.
They are denitely more effective than
putting someone in custody, Greenberg
said. Among other things they let people
know that other people care.
Hayden would like to see them broader in
scope, for instance allowing defendants who
may live outside San Mateo County although
their crimes were committed here.
Although no alternative court or program
is 100 percent successful, Hayden said one
must look at the benet of even a small level
of positive outcomes. For example, he said,
some say Proposition 36, which required cer-
tain non-violent drug possession crimes to
be punished by probation rather than incar-
ceration, would be an 80 percent failure.
Thats still 20 percent of referrals getting
substance abuse treatment and not commit-
ting new crimes, Hayden said.
The possibility of using more electronic
home monitoring as an alternative to jail for
defendants awaiting trial is a matter of balanc-
ing the new approach with not being out of
step with the other judges, Hayden said. The
primary decider should be the sheriff, he said.
Greenberg said when asked she almost
always approves it but agrees it should be at
the discretion of the sheriff. Overseeing
parole revocations, Greenberg is familiar
with the defendants who remove their GPS
ankle monitors but said that isnt every one
and shouldnt be reason to discount using all
available alternatives to incarceration.
Locking people up has never done any-
thing for them. It protects the public. It does-
nt do much else, Greenberg said.
One of her most memorable cases was a
drug court participant who turned her life
around from a drug-addicted and suicidal strip-
per to someone who ultimately became
sober, returned to school and keeps in touch
with Greenberg. Those cases are proof that
such courts can work, she said.
Sentencing
Although judges must interpret and follow
the law, there is room for discretion such as
not considering a defendants prior criminal
strikes during sentencing. Greenberg said
she is generally in favor of options in all
cases, from weighing criminal strikes to
considering other factors. But while there is
sometimes the ability to offer one sentence
path over another equal sentence for
example one that carries probation versus
one that doesnt she is steadfast that miti-
gating factors like immigration or the loss
of professional license cannot sway how a
judge rules.
You cant consider it. It has to be done the
right way, she said.
Hayden said it is a balance of public safety,
deterrence and rehabilitation
I think you have to look at all the guide-
lines, he said.
Hayden believes judges need to be more
involved outside the courtroom, perhaps not
in an ofcial capacity but simply showing
the community who they are and make that
public connection. He also concedes than
any one judge, particularly a new one, cant
singularly institute changes be it budgetary
or technologically. But that doesnt mean he
wouldnt have inuence, he said.
One of the best things I can do is lead by
example, he said. And I can be one vote in
that room of 26.

Police: decomposed body
found at Stinson Beach
The U.S. Park Police are investigating
the discovery of a decomposed body found
Sunday at Stinson Beach in the Golden
Gate National Recreation Area in Marin
County, according to a park spokes-
woman.
Some visitors from Switzerland found
the body on the beach, which is within the
jurisdiction of the federal recreation area,
park spokeswoman Alexandra Picavet
said.
The Marin County Fire Department
received a call at 11:23 a.m. Sunday about
a report of a body located at Stinson
Beach, a fire dispatcher said.
According to Picavet, the sheriffs office
notified park officials about the body at
about 12:10 p.m. and the county coroner
was called to the scene.
The body was in such a state of decom-
position that the sex of the deceased will
not be known until an autopsy is per-
formed, Picavet said.
This is a body that probably has been
out there a while, Picavet said.
The federal park police are conducting an
investigation, Picavet said.
Stinson Beach and a parking lot next to
it are parts of the national recreation area,
according to Picavet.
Police, handcuffed
suspect escape patrol car fire
At least one Daly City police officer and
a suspect in handcuffs safely escaped a
police patrol vehicle after it caught fire on
U.S. Highway 101 in Redwood City
Sunday evening, the California Highway
Patrol is reporting.
The car fire was reported around 6:15
p.m. on southbound Highway 101 near the
Whipple Avenue off-ramp, according to
the CHP.
At least one officer and a handcuffed sus-
pect who had been inside the patrol car
were able to safely escape and no injuries
were reported.
Witnesses reportedly saw the suspect
still in handcuffs standing outside of the
vehicle a short time after the fire broke
out, according to the CHP.
The car fire shut down the southbound
Whipple Avenue off-ramp, which was
expected to reopen around 7 p.m. Sunday,
the CHP is reporting.

STATE

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Californias
primary for governor this year has
become a race for second place.
With Gov. Jerry Brown, a
Democrat, widely predicted to take
the top spot, two Republican candi-
dates with starkly contrasting
views and styles are jostling for
nancial and voter support.
The June 3 primary is the rst
governors race under Californias
new primary system, in which the
top two vote-getters advance to
November regardless of their party
afliation. The new system could
have been a game-changer, but the
contest is shaping up more like a
typical Republican primary, with
conservative state Assemblyman
Tim Donnelly and former U.S.
Treasury ofcial Neel Kashkari
ghting for support.
Brown, 76, holds a sizeable lead
in fundraising and in public opin-
ion polls. He has collected more
than $20 million from a range of
corporate and union interests and
has support from virtually every
constituency, including about a
third of Republicans in a recent
Field Poll.
His current job and his reputation
as a scally conservative Democrat
have given Brown a massive pulpit,
making it hard
for Donnelly and
Kashkari to gain
traction with a
broader audience.
Campaigning
g e n e r a l l y
increases dra-
matically as you
get closer to the
election, but
that assumes there is a race, said
Kim Nalder, director of the Project
for an Informed Electorate at
California State University,
Sacramento. Because of the
prominence of Jerry Brown in this
campaign, were not even seeing
much advertising.
Prominent Republicans such as
former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, 2012
GOP presidential nominee Mitt
Romney and former California
Gov. Pete Wilson are coalescing
around Kashkari, but he has strug-
gled in polls, drawing just 2 percent
support among likely voters in an
April Field Poll.
Kashkari, 40, is a former
Goldman Sachs investment banker
who is best known for helping lead
the federal bank bailout at the
height of the recession. He has
focused on economic issues and
education reform, and supports
immigration reform, gay marriage
and abortion rights.
Im hoping
that me, as the
son of immi-
grants, as some-
body young,
somebody who
looks a little
unusual com-
pared to the typi-
cal Republican
candidate ... Im
condent I can reach a lot more
diverse group of voters in
California and say theres a new
Republican Party in town and we
are ghting for you, Kashkari,
whose parents immigrated from
India, told a group of young sup-
porters in March.
Younger and nonwhite voters
have largely deserted the California
GOPever since Republicans backed
Proposition 187 in 1994, which
sought to ban immigrants who are
in the country illegally from access
to most social services. GOP regis-
tration in the state is now just 29
percent.
Donnelly, 47, is an ardent gun-
rights supporter from the San
Bernardino County mountain com-
munity of Twin Peaks and a former
minuteman who patrolled the U.S.-
Mexico border in search of immi-
grants in the country illegally. He
appeals to the other faction of the
California GOP, whose members
profess alle-
giance to core
Republican val-
ues such as
i n d i v i d u a l
r esponsi bi l i t y
and limited gov-
ernment.
Donnelly has
been traveling
the state in a
borrowed motor home emblazoned
with the American ag and dubbed
the Liberty Express. His cam-
paign faces an ethics complaint for
failing to report it as a gift in a
timely fashion.
He has continued to advocate for
expanding gun rights, even though
he has tried to focus his campaign
on broader themes.
The very first thing that I
would do is commit to have a
moratorium on all new laws that
contain a restriction on your busi-
ness, on your freedom and on your
constitutional civil rights,
Donnelly said in an interview.
Im willing to veto almost every
bill that hits my desk unless it
increases freedom, eases restric-
tions or reforms and streamlines
and shrinks government.
Donnellys campaign has strug-
gled to raise money, bringing in
about $335,000 since last year and
recently appealing to donors for
free ofce space. His disagreements
with staff also have become public,
rst when his former campaign
manager resigned in March, then
when Donnelly red his legislative
chief of staff in April.
Still, he has about 17 percent
support among likely voters,
according to an April Field Poll,
making him the GOP front-runner.
If Democrats got to sit around
and dream up the perfect candidate
to oppose Brown, they really
couldnt have chosen better: anti-
immigrant, anti-gay marriage,
anti-compromise in the
Legislature, said Nalder, of
Sacramento State. Hes really
everything that the moderate wing
of the Republican Party wants to
get away from.
That is one reason so-called
establishment Republicans are
pushing Kashkaris candidacy,
helping him raise about $1.7 mil-
lion so far. Still, the June elec-
torate is expected to be overwhelm-
ingly conservative, older and
whiter than Californias overall
voter registration base. That means
the independent voters Kashkari is
trying to attract are not likely to
turn out in great numbers.
Brown, who has declined inter-
view requests from The Associated
Press, is unlikely to campaign
ahead of the primary.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. A support frame
collapsed during an aerial hair-hanging
stunt at a circus performance Sunday, send-
ing eight acrobats plummeting to the
ground. Nine performers were seriously
injured in the fall, including a dancer below,
while an unknown number of others suffered
less serious injuries.
The accident was reported about 45 min-
utes into the Ringling Bros. and Barnum
and Bailey Circus 11 a.m. Legends show at
the Dunkin Donuts Center in Providence.
Stephen Payne, a spokesman for Feld
Entertainment, the parent company of
Ringling Bros., said the accident happened
during an act in which eight performers hang
like a human chandelier using their hair.
He said the metal-frame apparatus from
which the performers were hanging came
free from the metal truss it was connected
to. The eight women fell 25 to 40 feet, land-
ing on a dancer below.
All the performers have been doing
some variation of this act for some time,
Payne said, though he didnt know how
long. The current incarnation of the act
began in January with the launch of the
show, he said.
Providence Public Safety Commissioner
Steven Pare said ofcials and inspectors
havent yet determined what caused the acci-
dent. He said none of the injuries appears to
be life-threatening.
Roman Garcia, general manager of the
Legends show, asked people to pray for the
performers.
Everybodys doing ne, everybodys at
the hospital, everybodys conscious,
everybodys doing pretty well, he said at
the Dunkin Donuts Center less than two
hours after the accident.
Rhode Island Hospital in Providence
admitted 11 patients with varying injuries,
including one in critical condition,
spokeswoman Jill Reuter said.
The hair-hanging stunt is described on
the circus website as a larger-than-life
act featuring eight female performers.
These hairialists perform a combina-
tion of choreography and cut-ups including
spinning, hanging from hoops, and
rolling down wrapped silks, all while
being suspended 35 feet in the air by their
hair alone, the website says. In this hair-
raising act, audiences will even see the
weight of three girls held aloft by the locks
of only one of these tangled beauties.

STAFF AND WIRE REPORT
A pilot killed in a plane crash while
performing in an air show at Travis Air
Force Base in Fairfield Sunday afternoon
has been identified as a 77-year-old Half
Moon Bay man, Col. David Mott of
Travis Air Force Base said.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the
family of Mr. Eddie Andreini, Mott told
reporters at a news conference at the military
base Sunday evening.
Mr. Andreini had been ying since he was
16 years old and performing in air shows for
the last 25 years, he said.
The veteran pilot was performing an
acrobatic aerial maneuver in his open-
cockpit Stearman biplane around 2:05
p.m. during the Travis Air Force Base
Thunder Over Solano air show when the
1944 Stearman biplane crashed, accord-
ing to Mott.
The World War II-era aircraft was com-
monly used to train pilots.
Col. David Mott, 60th Operations Group
commander at the base said the plane was
trying to perform a maneuver known as
cutting a ribbon where it inverts and ies
close to the ground so that a knife attached
to the plane can slice a ribbon just off the
ground.
Angie Giles, a spectator from Antioch,
said the plane ipped over to do a trick and
hit the ground and dragged over the
ground.
The colonel said the plane was upside
down and fairly close to the ground when
it crashed and burned. Travis Air Force Base
fire crews responded and pronounced
Andreini dead at the scene.
The crash occurred far away from the tens
of thousands of people in attendance at the
air show, and no spectators were injured,
according to base ofcials. Pilots of both
civilian and military aircraft had been per-
forming various aerial maneuvers before a
crowd of people when the crash occurred,
base spokeswoman Rachel Martinez said.
According to base public affairs representa-
tives, about 85,000 people attended the air
show on Saturday. Mott said just as many peo-
ple, if not more, were believed to have been at
Sundays show.
The deadly crash prompted the air force
base to shut down and cancel the remainder of
the show, which was scheduled to end at 5:30
p.m.
Mott said winds at the time of crash
measured at about 10 to 15 nautical
miles, and that he didnt know whether
wind played a role in the crash. The
National Transportation Safety Board
will investigate the crash, he said.
Fairfield police temporarily shut down
eastbound lanes of Air Base Parkway at
Peabody Road to provide trafc control in
the area. The intersection has since
reopened.
The Thunder Over Solano air show last
took place at the military base three years
ago, Martinez said.
Andreinis website advertising his air
show says your audience will be thrilled at
the sight of this huge biplane performing
double outside loops, square loops, torque
rolls, double snap rolls, and ... a heart-stop-
ping, end-over-end tumble maneuver.
The crash comes one week after another
fatal mid-air plane crash during Half
Moon Bays annual Dream Machines
event. Two pilots collided over San Pablo
Bay and 33-year-old David Everett Plumb
was found deceased several days later.
Base officials are requesting any photos
or video footage of the crash taken by
people at the air show to assist with the
investigation. Anyone with images of the
accident is asked to call (707) 424-2000
for further instructions.

ODESSA, Ukraine Hundreds of pro-
Russian demonstrators stormed police head-
quarters in Odessa on Sunday and won the
release of 67 people detained after deadly
clashes in the Ukrainian port city.
More than 40 people died in the riots two
days earlier, some from gunshot wounds,
but most in a horric re that tore through a
trade union building.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy
Yatsenyuk, who hinted strongly that he saw
Moscows hand in the unrest spreading
through southeastern Ukraine, visited
Odessa on Sunday to try to defuse the
mounting tensions.
Odessa is the major city between the
Crimean Peninsula, which Russia annexed
in March, and the Moldovan separatist
region of Trans-Dniester, where Russia has
a military peacekeeping contingent.
Concerns are mounting that Russia ulti-
mately aims to take control of a huge swath
of Ukraine from Trans-Dniester to the east.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, who calls
the area historically Russian lands, has said
he doesnt want to send in troops but will if
necessary.
Yatsenyuk said police were being investi-
gated for their failure to maintain order and
he had charged prosecutors with nding all
instigators, all organizers and all those that
under Russian leadership began a deadly
attack on Ukraine and Odessa.
Earlier in the day, hundreds of pro-
Russian demonstrators gathered in front of
the scorched trade union building to honor
those who died in Fridays blaze. Some
draped a large Russian tricolor ag on the
face of the building.
By mid-afternoon, a group of several hun-
dred people marched to the police station to
demand the release of fellow activists jailed
over their involvement in the unrest. They
attacked security surveillance cameras and
smashed windows. Shortly after some of
them managed to break into an inner court-
yard, police yielded to the crowds demands
and released the prisoners.
As detainees emerged from the police sta-
tion, the crowd cheered.
The Interior Ministry said in a statement
that 67 activists had been released. It was
not immediately clear whether others were
still being held.

BELFAST, Northern Ireland Sinn Fein
party leader Gerry Adams was released with-
out charge Sunday after ve days of police
questioning over his alleged involvement
in a decades-old IRA killing of a Belfast
mother of 10, an investigation that has
driven a dangerous wedge into Northern
Irelands unity government.
Addressing reporters and supporters at a
Belfast hotel, Adams said he wanted his
party to provide help to the children of Jean
McConville, the 37-year-old widow taken
from her home by the Irish Republican
Army in 1972, killed and dumped in an
unmarked grave. He also rejected claims by
IRA veterans in audiotaped interviews that
he had ordered the killing.
I am innocent of any involvement in any
conspiracy to abduct, kill or bury Mrs.
McConville. I have worked hard with others
to have this injustice redressed, said
Adams, 65, who has led Sinn Fein since
1983 and won credit for steering the IRA
toward cease-fires and compromise with
Northern Irelands Protestant majority.
Yet the investigation of Adams is not
over. Police said they have sent an evidence
file to Northern Ireland prosecutors for
potential charges later.
For all I know I can still face charges,
Adams said. He said he had been interviewed
33 times during 92 hours in custody. One
presumes they would have made a charge
against me. But they offered no evidence
against me whatsoever.
The episode has underscored the unrelent-
ing hostility of some Protestants to Adams
and his partys ambitions to merge Northern
Ireland into the Republic of Ireland. His
departure from the polices main interroga-
tion center in Antrim, west of Belfast, was
delayed two hours by a crowd of Protestants
outside the front gate.

ABUJA, Nigeria Nigerias President
Goodluck Jonathan met through the night
with security, school and state ofcials and
issued a new directive that everything must
be done to free the 276 girls held captive
by Islamic extremists, one of his advisers
said Sunday.
It was the rst time the president met with
all stakeholders, including the principal of
the Chibok Government Girls Secondary
School in northeastern Nigeria where the
girls and young women were kidnapped in a
pre-dawn raid April 15, presidential adviser
Reuben Abati told reporters.
Nigerians outrage at the failure to rescue
the students and protest marches last week
in major Nigerian cities as well as New York
City have spurred to action Jonathans gov-
ernment, which many see as uncaring of the
girls plight.
The president has given very clear direc-
tives that everything must be done to ensure
that these girls must be brought back to
safety, Abati said.
The police said last week that the actual
number abducted had risen to more than 300
and that 276 remain in captivity. It said 53
of the students managed to escape their cap-
tors. None have been rescued by the mili-
tary which initially said it was in hot pursuit
of the abductors.
Some of the girls been forced into mar-
riage with their abductors and paid a nomi-
nal bride price of $12, according to a federal
senator from the area whose report is unver-
ied. Some of the young women have been
taken across Nigerias borders to Cameroon
and Chad, the parents said last week quoting
villagers. Child marriage is common in
northern Nigeria, where it is allowed under
Islamic law that clashes with the countrys
Western-style constitution.
Anguished parents in Chibok town, who
have lost condence in the government and
military, have been begging for interna-
tional help.
The United States and Britain, Nigerias
former colonizer, have promised unspecied
help. Both countries help with counter-ter-
rorism training and could provide satellite
images that might help the search.

OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
BY JERRY HILL
A
couple of years ago, I met a
constituent whose family
history now reminds me how
inspiration comes from all corners.
Sometimes we discover it anew.
Sometimes its purely by coincidence.
In 2012, Eric Saund came to have
lunch with me and to tour the state
Capitol, his prize
from a San Carlos
Lions Club charity
auction. When I
proudly pointed out
the desk of former
governor Earl
Warren, Saund
shared an interest-
ing coincidence:
We both had touch-
stones in Warren. At that time, I was
the lucky occupant of the Assembly
ofce where Warrens desk resides.
Eric Saunds was personal. His great
uncle, Emil Kosa, was a well-known
California artist who was selected to
paint the ofcial portrait of Warren
when he ascended to the U.S. Supreme
Court as chief justice.
Little did I know until now that
there was one more interesting coin-
cidence: Eric Saunds paternal grandfa-
ther was a legislator as well a his-
tory-making one.
In 1956, county judge and small busi-
nessman Dalip Singh Saund from the
tiny Imperial Valley town of
Westmorland, became the rst Asian
American, and the rst Sikh, elected to
the U.S. House of Representatives. He
made quite a splash, serving three terms
before suffering an untimely stroke,
receding from public view and public
memory. This was Eric Saunds grandfa-
ther, who was born in Punjab in 1899,
before Indias independence.
In recent days, the rst documentary
about Congressman Saund has been
screening in Bay Area colleges, Sikh
temples and selected Silicon Valley
companies. I had a chance to see it.
Eric Saund and his aunt provided pho-
tographs of his grandfather and
footage from a 1959 televised inter-
view that shows viewers the
dynamism and optimism that no
doubt played a role in Dalip Singh
Saunds public success.
He arrived at the University of
California at Berkeley in 1920 as a
graduate student inspired by Woodrow
Wilson and Abraham Lincoln. It was
also a time when laws barred most
Asians from immigrating, from own-
ing land or becoming citizens.
American women were stripped of their
citizenship when they married Asian
immigrants, as his wife, Marian, was.
He worked for legislation that allowed
Indians and Filipinos to naturalize in
1946. And then, as soon as he could,
he ran for judge.
Everyone thought I had no
chance, he recalls about his rst
campaign in a 1959 television inter-
view. But I had faith in the American
sense of justice and fair play.
What may be surprising to some is
that Saunds election to Congress 58
years ago didnt happen in the poly-
glot milieu of the San Francisco Bay
Area or in Hawaii. It took place in the
29th Congressional District, which
then stretched from arid farmlands to
the resorts of Palm Springs and the
Coachella Valley, all the way to the
Mexican border, encompassing both
Riverside and Imperial counties. That
same area is divided into ve districts
today. As I learned more of
Congressman Saunds story, the more
I realized how far weve come as a
country since then, but also how spe-
cial a person he was, that Americans
could see themselves and their values
when he spoke passionately about the
principles that form the foundation of
our country.
In 1963, Congressman Saund suf-
fered a massive, paralyzing stroke on
a plane en route to Washington, D.C.
He never recovered. He was forced to
withdraw from public life long before
he was ready. What might have
become a greater career became an
intriguing footnote in history.
Eric Saund, now a Palo Alto research
scientist, shared the viewpoint he
says he learned from his grandfather
and his family.
What he modeled for me was to
take what life gives you and make the
most of it, Eric Saund said. He got
some great cards because he had a
great personality. He was so opti-
mistic. He had some bad cards because
there was a lot of prejudice. He did the
best he could with what he had.
Indeed. Better than most. There is
something else to take away from
Dalip Singh Saunds story. Through
it, we can glimpse the America Saund
saw, the one that reminds us of the
America our better selves can build.
Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, represents the
13th District in the California Senate.

Devils Slide Park
S
an Mateo County is blessed with so many scenic
places to run, walk and bike including the Bay
Trail, Shoreline Park, Sawyer Creek Trail, the
Coast Trail and now Devils Slide Park. All faced bumps
in the road and financial hurdles before they were built
but none faced the challenges of Devils Slide, which
almost didnt happen.
The new park is actually the former section of
Highway 1 which was often closed because of slides,
and accidents. It is now a 1.3-mile paved walk and bike
path with spectacular views of the ocean on one side
and the cliffs on the other. Its a great erosion geology
lesson as explained in a sign post at the entrance. The
weathered rock face to the south is the granite rock of
Montara Mountain, the same rock found in the Sierra
Nevada range. In contrast, the rough layers of sedimen-
tary rock at the north end were once the ocean floor.
Not quite as old as the Montara mountain rock, these
layers of shale and sand stone have been thrust up and
folded, over millions of years, by forces deep within
the earth. The landslides occur where the sedimentary
rock has been thrust over the granite rock causing bro-
ken, weakened ground.

The section of Highway
1 south of Pacific known
as Devils Slide was sce-
nic but treacherous. It was
featured in a key scene of
the 1960 thriller Portrait
in Black with Lana Turner
and Anthony Quinn.
Turner and Quinn por-
trayed doomed lovers who
deliberately pushed a car,
containing the body of a
murdered man, over the
edge of the cliff. Real live
accidents and road clo-
sures led Caltrans to rec-
ommend an inland bypass
and the burial of Devils
Slide. In 1972, the San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors approved the bypass, but the Sierra Club
and other groups filed a lawsuit which halted the proj-
ect. They proposed other options including a tunnel
instead.
The problem was that Caltrans said those other
options were not possible. Coastside residents and
other environmentalists protested that a bypass
through Montara Mountain would destroy spectacular
scenic open space. Caltrans would not budge.
***
Opponents of the bypass, including Olive Mayer,
Lennie Roberts, Chris Thollaug and many others
approached their representative on the San Mateo
County Board of Supervisors, former assemblyman Ted
Lempert and asked for help. In 1995, Devils Slide was
closed for months during severe winter storms. Pressure
mounted for a solution. Lempert and his staff researched
the issue and gathered a number of independent experts
who concluded a tunnel was indeed possible. Lempert,
with the support of fellow supervisor Ruben Barrales,
brought this to his board colleagues. But the tunnel
idea was voted down 3-2 (Mike Nevin, Mary Griffin and
Tom Huening were the three supervisors who opposed
i t ).
Opponents wouldnt give up and decided to get a
measure on the ballot Measure T. Yellow Tunnel T-
shirts were seen throughout the county but mostly on
the coast. The grassroots effort was successful and
county voters overwhelming supported the tunnel
rather than the bypass.
***
The rest is history. Congress came up with the fund-
ing, Caltrans finally agreed to build it. Then cyclists
wanted a lane in the tunnel so they could stay on
Highway 1. That didnt work so it was decided to turn
the old highway into a park for pedestrians and
cyclists. If you havent visited, you are missing one of
the best local sights. Caltrans did a great job on the
tunnels and the county did a great job on the park.
***
While then-supervisor Tom Huening may have been
wrong about the tunnel, he and his staff were instru-
mental in making Sawyer Creek Trail what it is today.
One of the first benches on the southern entrance bears
his name.

According to Oscar Lopez-Guerra, there was a third
woman who broke the men only rule at the San Mateo
Rotary Club. That was Linda Poulton, office manager of
Lease Mobile.

Whose corner are you in?
Editor,
So this guy, Gerry Adams, has been
arrested this week for an event that
took place in 1972. Is there a ques-
tion of fairness involved in his case?
I mean just think about it. There was-
nt the evidence to prosecute him for
the alleged crime 42 years ago, but
there is now. I have never heard of
42-year-long investigations being
done before.
Might the U.S. war on terror be
involved in his case? At the height of
the IRAconict there were only 500
people involved. At the same time,
there were 3,000 Protestant terrorists,
militia or whatever you would like to
call them. So I give credit to the
authorities for succeeding at their 42-
year-long investigation. I wonder,
though, how many of the 3,000
Protestant terrorizers, the 12,000
pro-British Protestant police and the
20,000 British soldiers have been
indicted, also? Oh, and I forgot to
mention Britains truest friend: the
U.S. and its FBI and CIA.

Censor the letters?
Editor,
Once in a while your reader gets
upset by a published letter enough
to ask for the banning of the author
from your paper.
Of course, some letters are over the
top; ideology weighs down the pen of
the writers and logic has no place in
their thinking. Yet, I beg all readers
to be tolerant just read even the
most outrageous claims, grin and bear
it because knowing how the others
think is very important. We need to
know what we are against. Hidden
hatred, ignorance and bigotry are
more dangerous than when they are in
the open.
Short of personal and racial attacks,
the First Amendment protects the
right of people to say what we do not
want to hear. I had lived in a
Communist country where a single
sentence you said could mean a prison
sentence for you. Government con-
trolled all the media and copying
machines were guarded as tightly as
weapons. Censorship was the order
of the day.
Thats why I cringe when I hear call
for banning letters, books, speeches
or people. I would not wish to any of
you to have to live under such system,
so lets protect the freedoms we have.

BUSINESS 10
By Josh Boak
WASHINGTON Employers
added a sizable 288,000 jobs in
April.
Hiring in February and March
was better than rst thought.
The unemployment rate plunged
to 6.3 percent from 6.7 percent.
At rst glance, Fridays U.S. jobs
report suggested that the agoniz-
ingly slow 5-year-old economic
recovery had burst into a full sprint.
Yet several cautionary signs
emerged from the report, starting
with that spectacular plunge in the
unemployment rate.
Heres why: The government
uses two surveys for the jobs
report. The job gain comes from a
survey of businesses, the unem-
ployment rate from a survey of
households. Sometimes, the two
conict.
The survey of businesses
showed 288,000 more jobs. Yet
the household survey, in calculat-
ing unemployment, found that
73,000 fewer people had jobs.
Why did the unemployment rate
sink? Because 806,000 fewer peo-
ple were in the workforce. Many
retired or ended their job hunts.
And fewer-than-expected people
began looking for work.
The unemployment rate typically
drops when fewer people seek work:
If theyre not hunting for a job,
theyre not counted as unemployed.
All of which points to an under-
lying weakness in an otherwise
improving job market.
When you have a robust econo-
my, you dont get these mixed
messages, said Douglas Holtz-
Eakin, a former head of the
Congressional Budget Ofce and
now president of the conservative
American Action Forum.
Here are ve cautionary signs
from Aprils jobs report:
543,000 FEWER
PEOPLE SEEKING WORK
Lets dive a bit deeper into that
unemployment rate. People ow
into and out of the job market each
month. Some leave for school;
others return, armed with a degree.
Some quit to raise a family. Some
apply for jobs after their kids start
kindergarten. In April, the number
of people who began looking for
work fell off a statistical cliff.
This suggests that the recovery
lacks the kind of gravitational
force needed to draw more workers
back into the fold. Just 58.9 per-
cent of the working-age popula-
tion holds a job. Thats down from
62.9 percent before the recession
began at the end of 2007.
We do not yet have a jobs
recovery that is strong enough to
really pull people in, said Heidi
Shierholz, an economist at the
progressive Economic Policy
Institute.
The number of people who
began seeking work for the rst
time fell 126,000 from March to
roughly 1 million. The gure for
new grads and parents who began
looking was even bleaker: Down
417,000 to 2.6 million.
If those 543,000 people com-
bined had all started looking for
work in April, the unemployment
rate would be 6.6 percent a dip
from Marchs 6.7 percent, rather
than the plunge to 6.3 percent.
NO HOUSING REBOUND
Builders added 32,000 workers
in April. But just 41 percent of
them were for constructing
homes. That share is usually
around 50 percent. The lower g-
ure likely reects how much hous-
ing has cooled this year after a
solid improvement in 2013. Sales
of new homes plunged 14.5 per-
cent last month, according to the
Commerce Department.
Fridays report suggested that
homebuilding could remain sluggish.
You see that in the hiring num-
bers, said Steve Blitz, chief econ-
omist at ITG Investment
Research. You see it in the bor-
rowing numbers. And you see it in
the value of private construction
put in place.
45,000 MORE MEN WORKING
TWO FULL-TIME JOBS
Imagine juggling two-full time
jobs. About 198,000 men man-
aged this balancing act last month
a sharp increase of 45,000
year-over-year. True, thats a small
share of the 145.7 million work-
ing Americans. But it reveals
something critical in an economy
in which several million
Americans cant land one job, let
alone two.
The number of Americans with
two full-time jobs usually rises
when times are ush and reliable
employees are hard to nd. Thats
not true now. Nearly 3.5 million
people have been jobless for more
than six months.

HARTFORD, Conn. Dorry
Clay, a small business owner
unable to save for retirement, is
counting on the Connecticut leg-
islature to establish a state-run
retirement savings account acces-
sible to millions of workers.
Lawmakers in Connecticut and
other states are responding to a
widespread loss of private-sector
pensions, a lack of access to
employer-sponsored retirement
accounts in smaller businesses
and stagnant incomes that make it
hard for workers to contribute to
their own retirement plan or com-
pany account.
The measures vary in their
details, but the general aim is to
establish a retirement fund in a
state agency that would collect
employee contributions, invest
the money and pay out benet s
when employees retire.
Financial services businesses
are ercely lobbying to defeat the
proposals, calling the proposed
state-run enterprises unnecessary
and a threat to private business.
Opponents already have claimed
one victory this year, knocking
off a public retirement system pro-
posed in the West Virginia
Legislature.
Clay, 54, says her savings ran
out after she lost a job and was
diagnosed with cancer. Now, as a
business owner, she says she has
no feasible way to save for
retirement and worries shell have
to work into her 70s.
You can do everything right,
go to school, be talented, work
and things happen, she said.
Catherine Ernsky, president of
the Connecticut financial plan-
ning firm Ernsky Group, said
financial planning services can
tailor retirement plans without the
states help.
Business lobbyists also are
ghting the proposal, with the
Connecticut Business and Industry
Association putting the legisla-
tion at the top of its list of leg-
islative targets. Lou Tashash,
owner and president of R-D
Manufacturing Inc., a precision
sheet manufacturer employing 14
workers in East Lyme, sees it as a
burdensome mandate.
We already have a system in
place that Connecticut is propos-
ing. Its called Social Security, he
said. Why does the state feel it
has to do something thats already
on the federal level?
Details still are being worked
out before Connecticuts legisla-
tive session ends at midnight
Wednesday. Gov. Dannel P.
Malloy supports the ideals behind
the bill, a spokesman says, but
his administration is negotiating
with legislative leaders on the
best way forward.
Republican Sen. Joe Markley
called the legislation paternalis-
tic overreach and one of the
worst ideas in this years legisla-
tive session.
We have to ask ourselves if its
governments place to force peo-
ple to save for retirement, he said.
West Virginia Delegate Doug
Reynolds, who sponsored legisla-
tion that tried to establish a state-
administered pension system, said
financial planning businesses
arent serving enough workers.
I dont think the private sector
is out there aggressively reaching
out, he said.
The legislation passed the West
Virginia House of Delegates in
February but failed in the Senate.
The average working household
has almost no retirement savings,
the National Institute on
Retirement Security said in a June
2013 report. The median retire-
ment account balance is $3,000
for all working-age households
and $12,000 for near-retirement
households.
Two-thirds of working house-
holds ages 55 to 64 with at least
one earner have retirement sav-
ings just slightly exceeding their
annual income, which the
National Institute on Retirement
Security says is far below whats
needed to maintain their standard
of living in retirement.
We feel there is a retirement cri-
sis, said Diane Oakley, executive
director of the research group.
States seek a spot in retirement plan landscape
By Youkyung Lee
INCHEON, South Korea The
doomed ferry Sewol exceeded its
cargo limit on 246 trips - nearly
every voyage it made in which it
reported cargo - in the 13 months
before it sank, according to docu-
ments that reveal the regulatory
failures that allowed passengers
by the hundreds to set off on an
unsafe vessel. And it may have
been more overloaded than ever on
its nal journey.
One private, industry-connected
entity recorded the weights.
Another set the weight limit.
Neither appears to have had any
idea what the other was doing. And
they are but two parts of a mar-
itime system that failed passen-
gers April 16 when the ferry sank,
leaving more than 300 people
missing or dead.
The disaster has exposed enor-
mous safety gaps in South Koreas
monitoring of domestic passenger
ships, which is in some ways less
rigorous than its rules for ships
that handle only cargo.
Collectively, the countrys regula-
tors held more than enough infor-
mation to conclude that the Sewol
was routinely overloaded, but
because they did not share that
data and were not required to do so,
it was practically useless.
The Korean Register of Shipping
examined the Sewol early last year as
it was being redesigned to handle
more passengers. The register
slashed the ships cargo capacity by
more than half, to 987 tons, and said
the vessel needed to carry more than
2,000 tons of water to stay balanced.
But the register gave its report
only to the ship owner,
Chonghaejin Marine Co. Ltd.
Neither the coast guard nor the
Korean Shipping Association,
which regulates and oversees
departures and arrivals of domestic
passenger ships, appear to have
had any knowledge of the new
limit before the disaster.
Thats a blind spot in the law,
said Lee Kyu-Yeul, professor emer-
itus at Seoul National Universitys
Department of Naval Architecture
and Ocean Engineering.
Chonghaejin reported much
greater cargo capacity to the ship-
ping association: 3,963 tons,
according to a coast guard ofcial
in Incheon who had access to the
documentation but declined to
release it.
Since the redesigned ferry began
operating in March 2013, it made
nearly 200 round trips - 394 indi-
vidual voyages - from Incheon
port near Seoul to the southern
island of Jeju. On 246 of those
voyages, the Sewol exceeded the
987-ton limit, according to docu-
ments from Incheon port.
The limit may have been exceed-
ed even more frequently than that.
In all but one of the other 148
trips, zero cargo was recorded. It is
not mandatory for passenger fer-
ries to report cargo to the port
operator, which gathers the infor-
mation to compile statistics and
not for safety purposes.
More than 2,000 tons of cargo
was reported on 136 of the
Sewols trips, and it topped 3,000
tons 12 times. But the records
indicate it never carried as much as
it did on its nal disastrous voy-
age: Moon Ki-han, a vice presi-
dent at Union Transport Co, the
company that loaded the ship, has
said it was carrying an estimated
3,608 tons of cargo.
The port operator has no record
of the cargo from the Sewols last
voyage. Ferry operators submit
that information only after trips
are completed. In that respect, the
rules for domestic passenger ships
are looser than those for cargo-
only vessels, which must report
cargo before they depart.
Details from the port documents
were rst reported by the South
Korean newspaper Kukmin Daily.
In paperwork filed before the
Sewols last voyage, Capt. Lee
Joon-seok reported a much small-
er nal load than the one Moon
described, according to a Coast
Guard ofcial who had access to
the report but refused to provide a
copy to the Associated Press.
South Korea ferry found to be routinely overloaded

LAS VEGAS It might have
been the toughest $32 million
Floyd Mayweather Jr. ever made.
Marcos Maidana did everything
Saturday night but beat
Mayweather, taking him 12 tough
rounds before losing a majority
decision.
Mayweather remained unbeaten,
but not by much. Maidana
swarmed all over him from the
opening bell and gave him per-
haps his toughest ght in a 16-
year professional career.
Cut over his eye and temporarily
blinded by a head butt in the fourth
round, Mayweather had to rally in
the last half of the ght to avoid
losing for the rst time since he
was beaten on a controversial
decision in the 1996 Olympics.
In the end, though, Mayweather
got the win just as he did in his
previous 45 ghts in a decision
that was met with disbelief by
Maidana and booed heavily by the
crowd. He retained his welter-
weight title by winning 117-111
on one scorecard and 116-112 on
another. A third judge had it even
at 114-114.
The Associated Press scored it
for Mayweather 115-113.
Maidana threw far more punch-
es, but Mayweather was more accu-
rate with his as the two battled
into the late rounds with the ght
still very much in doubt. Cheered
on by a large contingent of
Argentine fans, Maidana took the
ght to Mayweather, who was cut
by the right eye in the fourth
round by an accidental head butt.
It was a tough, competitive
ght, Mayweather said. I nor-
mally like to go out there and box
and move. But he put pressure on
me. I wanted to give the fans what
they wanted to see so I stood and
fought him.
Maidana raised his arms in vic-
tory when the nal bell sounded,
and Mayweather watched pensive-
ly from his corner as the score-
cards were added up before he was
declared the winner.
I think I won the fight,
Maidana said. He didnt ght like
a man.
Punch stats by Compubox
showed Mayweather landing 230
of 426 punches to 221 of 858 for
Maidana. It was the most punches
landed by any fighter against
Mayweather in 38 fights where
punch stats were compiled.
Maidana had a big lead in the
early rounds through his constant
aggression. But Mayweather won
ve of the last seven rounds on
two scorecards and six of seven on
a third to pull out the win by a nar-
row margi n.
I couldnt see for two rounds
after the head butt, Mayweather
said. After I could see again it did-
nt both me. Thats what champi-
ons do, they survive and adjust.
Maidana had said before the
fight he was going to treat
Mayweather like any other ghter
and go right after him. He did just
that, bringing the sellout crowd at
the MGM Grand hotel to its feet as

With the lightning-fast home run shots of
College of San Mateos softballs team,
dont blink, you might miss one.
But dont worry, theres plenty more
where that came from.
The Lady Bulldogs homered four times in
four innings to cruise past Yuba College 18-
1 in the opening round of the California
Community College regional playoffs
Sunday at CSM. And the way they are swing-
ing it, the Lady Bulldogs may just be on the
verge of making program history. CSM
despite years of dominance in Northern
California has never won a state title
since the programs inception approximate-
ly 40 years ago.
Weve played this whole season wanting
to take it to state and thats what we have
our heart set on, CSM catcher Lelani Akai
said. So, were going to do whatever we
can as a team to get there.
With the win, the Lady Bulldogs improve
to 39-2 overall. With a 21-0 win in
Saturdays playoff opener, they outscored
Yuba 39-1 in the series. Both wins were
mercy-rule victories, with CSM now having
scored six straight mercy-rule wins dating
back to April 10 against Sacramento. Over
that stretch, CSM has outscored its oppo-
nents 90-2. Dating back to their April 3 win
over Chabot, the Lady Bulldogs have
outscored opponents 113-2.
With such dominance, CSM had every rea-
son to be celebratory following Sundays tri-
umph. But the scene following the big win at
the CSM softball eld was as even keel as a
run-of-the-mill regular-season postgame
scene no screaming or dog piles just
classy high-ves and a quick dispatch to left
eld for a postgame powwow.
We just want to take it day by day, game
by game, because we know nothing is
granted, Akai said. So, wed rather just
focus on whats going on now and not cele-
brate too much now.
In the meantime, CSM lets its bats do the
talking almost every inning. Sunday, the
Lady Bulldogs scored in four of five
innings, fueled by multi-home run perform-
ances by each Talisa Fiame and Brooke
Ramsey. The sophomores matched one

SANTA ROSA It is the rare occasion
when heartbreaking is a suitable descrip-
tor on the baseball diamond. Saturdays
regional playoff nale was one of those
occasions for the College of San Mateo.
After taking a one-game lead in the best-
of-three playoff series Friday at Santa Rosa
Junior College, the Bulldogs took a 4-3 lead
into the eighth inning of Saturdays wild
and raucous Game 2. Then with one errant
throw, the tide of the entire series changed.
By virtue of two throwing errors by
Bulldogs third baseman Steven Pastora in
the inning, Santa Rosa scored three
unearned runs to take a 6-4 victory in Game
2 before triumphing in the series with a 4-2
win in Saturdays Game 3 doubleheader
nightcap.
With two on and two out in the fateful
eighth inning of Game 2, Santa Rosas Phil
Ramos hit a slow chopper to third which
Pastora elded on the run. With plenty of
time to throw across the diamond, Pastora
elected not to plant his feet. When he
attempted, on the run, to toss the ball to
rst for the nal out of the inning, the ball
squirted out of his hand and sailed high over
the head of CSM rst baseman Dominic
Orlando, allowing Parker Shaw to plate the
tying run.
On the next play, Chase Stafford hit a
shot to Pastoras backhand. The freshman
third baseman picked it clean from deep in
the hole, but his throw short-hopped
Orlando and got by the rst baseman to
allow Spencer Neve and Ramos to score,
giving Santa Rosa a decisive 6-4 advantage.
All the inelders knew what we had to
do, CSM second baseman Dane Vande
Guchte said. We had to catch the ball and it
just didnt happen the way we wanted it to. A
few plays down the stretch just hurt us.

ATLANTA The San Francisco
Giants put together quite a mind-
boggling statistic in their first
three-game sweep at Turner Field.
San Francisco did not have a hit
with a runner in scoring posi-
tion, but still won three straight
over the Atlanta Braves. Credit
belongs to strong pitching and
seven home runs.
Brandon Crawford hit two home
runs and Madison Bumgarner
helped the Giants beat Atlanta 4-1
Sunday, handing the Braves their
sixth straight loss.
The Giants were 0-for-4 with
runners in scoring position on
Sunday and 0-for-7 in the series.
Still, the NLWest leaders left town
with a ve-game winning streak.
Thats incredible, manager
Bruce Bochy said. What a job our
pitching did here. ... The long
ball, thats what won it for us
because we couldnt get a hit. They
had great pitching as well.
It was San Franciscos first
sweep in Atlanta since 1988
long before Turner Field opened
in 1997 and before Bumgarner
was born in 1989.
Thats a big series for us,
Bumgarner said.
The Braves skid is their
longest skid since an eight-game
slide in May 2012. Atlanta,
which leads the NL East, was held
to one run in each of the losses to
San Francisco.
Weve been struggling, said
Dan Uggla, who was 0 for 4 and is
hitting .190. Weve got to turn
the corner and just turn this thing
around. Like, now.

game-saving play.
Yoenis Cespedes drove in the go-ahead run
on an ineld single with the bases loaded in the
10th and Barton, playing rst, cut down the
potential tying run at third in the bottom of the
inning as the Athletics averted a three-game
sweep with a 3-2 win over the Boston Red Sox
on Sunday.
He made a terric play, Oakland manager
Bob Melvin said. Thats a gutsy play. Thats a
play that if the runner gets over, they can win
the game with a hit. Agutsy play.
Bostons Will Middlebrooks opened the
inning with a single and advanced to second on
the hit when center elder Coco Crisp had the
ball bounce away for an error.
With Barton playing in, guarding for a bunt,
Jackie Bradley Jr. bounced it to rst. Barton
red to third, cutting down Middlebrooks.
My whole goal was obviously to get the guy
at third whether it was a bunt or a ground ball to
me, Barton said. It feels good. Ive learned to
be ready. Anything can happen at any time, but
Ive learned to be ready when they call my name
and go out there and do my job.
Barton came in when Josh Reddick left with a
sprained ankle in the ninth.
Jim Johnson (3-2) then got Dustin Pedroia to
bounce into a game-ending double play.
Middlebrooks was somewhat surprised and
impressed by the play.
I was breaking off the bat. I didnt know it
was to his right, to his left or right at him.
Unfortunately it was right at
him, he said. This is the
big leagues. People are sup-
posed to make plays like
that. Normally you dont see
a rst baseman that far in,
but he made a good play.
Hats off to him.
Oakland closed a 10-game
road trip 5-5 and avoided its
second three-game sweep in
its last four series. The Athletics were swept at
home by Texas April 21-23.
Barton makes a heck of a heads-up play to
cut down Will going to third, Boston manager
John Farrell said. Theyre playing in. Hes
got to trust in his abilities. He throws a strike
across the diamond to cut down Will.
A.J. Pierzynski hit a solo homer for the Red
Sox, who failed to reach .500 for the rst time
since the fourth game of the season.
Jed Lowrie had a two-out double off Chris
Capuano (1-1) and after the bases were loaded
with an intentional and regular walk, Cespedes
beat out a slow roller to third against reliever
Burke Badenhop.
Johnson also got a double-play grounder by
Jonny Gomes to end the ninth.
With the Red Sox trailing 2-1 in the sev-
enth, Pierzynski homered into Bostons
bullpen. It could have been worse for the
Athletics when right fielder Reddick had trou-
ble with pinch hitter Gomes fly ball in the
wind. He was charged with an error, allowing
runners to reach second and third with one out.
But reliever Fernando Abad got Bradley Jr. out
at first on his attempted safety squeeze and
Luke Gregerson retired Pedroia.
Boston starter John Lackey gave up two runs
on ve hits in six innings, walking three and
striking out four.
Oaklands Sonny Gray also pitched six, giv-
ing up two runs and six hits, walking two with
three strikeouts.
Cespedes gave Oakland a 2-1 edge in the
sixth with an RBI double off the Green
Monster. The Athletics grabbed a 1-0 lead in
the rst on Brandon Moss two-out RBI single.
Grady Sizemores RBI double tied it in the
fifth, but Gray escaped a bases-loaded, one-
out jam when Bradley bounced into a 1-2-3
double play.
In the third, Boston shortstop Xander
Bogaerts relay from shallow left cut down
Donaldson trying to score. Crew chief Jeff
Kellogg requested a replay review to see if
catcher Pierzynski was illegally blocking the
plate. Replays showed he moved his foot and
blocked the corner just before he caught the
throw, knocking Donaldsons foot away as it
attempted to reach home. The play was upheld.
Melvin challenged a call on the rst pitch of
the game when Crisp was called out on a 5-
6-3 grounder. Replays were ruled inconclusive.
NOTES: Reddick limped off after grounding
into a double play.
Boston designated hitter David Ortiz played
in his 1,999th career game.
The Athletics open a 10-game homestand
Monday when left-hander Scott Kazmir (4-0,
2. 11 ERA) faces Seattle right-hander Chris
Young (1-0, 3.04).
Sizemore went 2 for 2 before being pinch
hit for, raising his career average to .321 (59
of 184) against the As, his best against any
AL team.

Kris Letang broke a scoreless tie
in the second period, and Marc-
Andre Fleury made 22 saves for his
seventh playoff shutout to lift the
Pittsburgh Penguins to a 3-0 vic-
tory over the New York Rangers on
Sunday night, tying the second-
round series one game apiece.
Letangs 15th career postseason
goal matched Larry Murphys
record for Penguins defensemen.
Jussi Jokinen scored during a third-
period power play, and Evgeni
Malkin added an empty-net goal
for the Penguins, who managed a
home split in the rst two games
with the suddenly weary Rangers.
Game 3 is Monday night in
New York.
Henrik Lundqvist made 32 saves
for New York, but the Rangers
mustered little offense while play-
ing their fourth game in six days.
New Yorks limp power play went
0 for 4 and hasnt scored in 29
straight advantages.
The Rangers have lost eight
straight Game 2s and have
dropped 12 consecutive games
when leading in a series.
Blackhawks 4, Wild 1
Bryan Bickell had a goal and two
assists, and Chicago beat
Minnesota to take a 2-0 lead in the
Western Conference seminals.
Brandon Saad scored his rst two
goals of the postseason, and
Chicago earned its sixth consecu-
tive win despite stretches of lack-
luster play in the second and third
periods. Corey Crawford made 18
saves in another solid performance.
Cody McCormick scored his sec-
ond career playoff goal, but
Minnesota missed another chance to
steal home-ice advantage from the
defending Stanley Cup champions.
Jonathan Toews scored his
fourth goal of the playoffs in the
rst period for the Blackhawks,
who improved to 16-2 in home
postseason games over the last
two years. They are 5-0 at home in
these playoffs.

TALLADEGA Most of Elliott
Sadlers memories of Talladega
Superspeedway are unpleasant.
They either involve a horric 2003
crash in which his car ipped sever-
al times and slid forever through
the grass on its roof, or many dif-
ferent ways hed come up empty
racing for a win.
Finally, he has a victory that tops
all those other disappointments.
Everybody always asks me
about ipping at Talladega, Sadler
said in Victory Lane. Now we won
one at Talladega, man, this feels a
lot better.
Sadler won a three-lap shootout
to the checkered flag in the
Nationwide Series race.
The race Saturday was stopped
for a little more than nine minutes
to clean the track following a six-
car accident that began when
Jeremy Clement was turning into
an outside wall and his car shot
back into trafc.
Sadler reected on many of his
previous races during the stoppage.
Under the red ag, I was play-
ing all these scenarios in my
head, Sadler said. Really, how
many races Ive lost in the last
couple laps not making the right
decisions.
There were three laps remaining
on the restart, and Sadler had to
throw several blocks to hold off a
charge from the pack of traffic
behind him.
Sadler wins at Talladega
he landed some big overhand right hands
to the top of Mayweathers head.
He never hurt me with a punch,
Maidana said. He wasnt that tough, I
thought I won.
Mai dana compl ai ned about bei ng
forced to fight with gloves he didnt
want t o use when t he t wo camps
engaged in a standoff over gl oves at
the rules meeting a day earlier.
If I would have had my gloves I would
have knocked him out, Maidana said.
They took away my advantage.
Mayweather, who earned $32 million
for the fight, was a 6-1 favorite coming to
remain unbeaten. He had picked Maidana
as an opponent because Maidana beat
Adrien Broner in an upset in December,
but he almost made the wrong pick.
Mayweather seemed confused early and
unable to adapt to the wild punches
thrown by Maidana. It wasnt until the
middle rounds that he got into more of a
rhythm, hitting Maidana with hooks to
the body and right punches to the head.
Still, the fight was in doubt late as
Maidana wouldnt quit coming forward.
With the crowd on its feet in the final
round he tried to land big punches, but
Mayweather was able to escape most of
them.
Maidana, who was cheered by the crowd
as he left the ring, said he wanted a
rematch, and both promoter Richard
Schaefer and Mayweather said he just
might get one after nearly pulling off one
of the biggest upsets in recent years.
If the fans want to see it again, lets do
it again, Mayweather said.

Bumgarner (3-3) allowed one unearned run
and three hits in six innings, striking out
nine.
Improved control allowed Bumgarner earn
his rst win since April 11. He walked only
one batter after issuing a combined eight
passes in his last three starts.
I still felt like I got behind a lot of times
when I wanted to get ahead, but its a big
step forward, Bumgarner said.
Santiago Casilla pitched the ninth for his
rst save. Closer Sergio Romo was rested
after recording saves in two straight games.
Crawford gave the Giants a 2-1 lead with
his homer off Alex Wood (2-5) in the fourth.
Crawford hit a two-run shot off Jordan
Walden in the eighth for his rst career mul-
tihomer game. He began the day with only
one homer this season.
Wood lost his fourth straight start, again
receiving almost no run support. The one
run scored by Atlanta on
Sunday is the only
offense Wood has
received in that span,
which included back-to-
back 1-0 losses.
The left-hander has a
3.00 ERA after allowing
two runs on seven hits and
one walk in ve innings.
Braves manager Fredi
Gonzalez, who hinted he may tweak his
slumping lineup, said an offensive turn-
around is coming.
Somebodys going to have to pay for it,
Gonzalez said. Sooner or later somebodys
going to come in here and were going to
score 10 runs a game for two or three weeks.
Thats my mindset Ive got going on right
now.
The Giants only runs in their rst two
wins of the series came on ve solo homers.
They found another way to score in the rst
when Hunter Pence hit a one-out double,
moved to third on a wild pitch and scored on
Buster Poseys grounder to rst base.
Atlantas Evan Gattis was called for catch-
ers interference on Poseys grounder, and
the umpires initially ruled Posey was safe at
rst and Pence had to return to third base.
Bochy took advantage of Rule 6.08c, which
allows a manager to take the live play
instead of the interference ruling.
Jason Heyward hit a sacrice y in the
Atlanta third. The Giants reclaimed the lead
on Crawfords homer to right-center with
two outs in the fourth.
NOTES: Bumgarner has allowed only
one earned run in winning three straight
starts against the Braves, including two
wins in 2013.
Gonzalez said shortstop Andrelton
Simmons was held out for personal reasons
and is expected to start on Monday.
Braves right-hander Gavin Floyd (elbow
surgery) came off the 15-day DL and will
start on Tuesday against St. Louis as right-
hander Ervin Santana has his scheduled start
skipped due to swelling below his right
thumb. Gonzalez said he expects Santana to
start on Saturday against the Cubs.
The Giants open a series at Pittsburgh on
Monday as right-hander Matt Cain starts.

four final regular-season games with a
severely sprained ankle.
In the inning previous to Santa Rosa tak-
ing the lead in Game 2, Pastora fouled a
pitch off the inside of the ankle. Play was
halted for several minutes while Pastora
shook off the injury as CSM manager Doug
Williams watched carefully.
Did Williams consider taking Pastora out
of the game at that point?
No one takes Steven Pastora out of a
game, Williams said. Hes a gamer.
Pastora remained in the game and played
the entirety of Game 3, despite being
noticeably hampered by the ankle through-
out the afternoon. The freshman nished the
year as CSMs leading hitter with a .354
batting average ranking eighth in the
Coast Golden Gate Conference and tied
catcher Dylan Isquirdo with the team lead in
RBIs with 24.
Hes a great player, Vande Guchte said.
He came back and he wasnt even supposed
to be back. He fought through his ankle
injury even though, down the stretch, he

but hell be a great player next year for this

Along with a key Game 2 error by
Bulldogs shortstop Miles Mastrobuoni that
opened the door for a two-run Bear Cubs
rally in the third, CSM turned in an out-
standing defensive performance in the
regional series.
Bulldogs center elder Austin Lonestar
turned in two great running catches to pre-
serve a scoreless tie in the second. Then in
the seventh with one Bear Cubs runner on,
CSMs infield showcased its chops as
Pastora made a sweet feed to second base on
a potential double-play that was broken up
by the hard slide of Chase Stafford. Later in
the inning, Weston Bryan hit a sharp
grounder to Mastrobuoni who quickly got
the ball to Vande Guchte for a crisp 6-4-3
twin killing.
CSM got 4 1/3 innings from freshman
starting pitcher Conyal Cody in Game 2,

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

Creating A Circle Of Gratitude
By Saying Thank You

OAKLAND Two years ago, the Golden
State Warriors could only dream of a 51-win
regular season and back-to-back playoff
appearances. Now that kind of success is
expected not celebrated.
On the surface, the Warriors completed the
franchises best two-season stretch in 20 years.
They overcame injuries that sidelined key play-
ers including center Andrew Bogut in the
playoffs and took the Clippers to a decisive
seventh game in the opening round, losing
126-121 on Saturday night in Los Angeles to
end a series overshadowed by a race-related
scandal.
Its disappointing, Warriors coach Mark
Jackson said. Theres a difference with being
disappointed and being a disappointment.
This team, we are disappointed with the way
it ended.
While discriminatory comments by Clippers
owner Donald Sterling rocked the NBA last
week, the Warriors were no strangers to a differ-
ent kind of drama this season.
Jackson had two assistants curiously dis-
missed before the playoffs. Co-owner Joe
Lacob never publicly supported him beyond
this season, and players were left in the middle
trying to defend their coach.
What Coach has gone through this year has
been unlike anything Ive seen, just the amount
of distractions and the circus thats been around
him and decisions hes had to make, point
guard Stephen Curry said. I love Coach more
than anybody, and I think for him to be in a sit-
uation where his job is under scrutiny and under
question is totally unfair. And it would denite-
ly be a shock to me if anything like (replacing
him) were to happen.
Jacksons job has been under pressure for
most of the last year after the team decided to
pick up his contract option for the 2014-15
instead of negotiate a long-term deal. Several
home losses to lesser teams also cost the
Warriors a chance to earn anything more than
the sixth playoff seed, which they also had a
year ago, when they upset Denver in the rst
round before falling to San Antonio.
Parting ways with two assistants in a 12-day
span before the playoffs brought more atten-
tion on Jackson for the wrong reasons.
The Warriors reassigned Brian Scalabrine to
the teams NBA Development League afliate
in Santa Cruz on March 25 because of what
Jackson called a difference in philosophies.
Then, the Warriors red Darren Erman on April
5 for what the team called a violation of com-
pany policy but declined to reveal the policy
he violated.
Last week, reports surfaced that Erman
who has since been hired as a scout for the
Boston Celtics secretly recorded conversa-
tions of coaches meetings, conversations
between coaches and players, and even infor-
mal discussions.
Support still remains high for Jackson in the
locker room, evident by the heart and hustle the
Warriors showed in the Game 7 loss.
Everybody from Curry to veteran center
Jermaine ONeal has gone out of their way to
applaud the job Jackson has done.
We did everything we could do to ght for
coach, and he did everything he could do to
ght for us, forward Draymond Green said.
Jackson has repeatedly refuted reports that
the atmosphere around the Warriors is dysfunc-
tional or that management has told him his job
is in jeopardy. Instead, he just called it sideline
music and reminded anybody who would listen
that building a championship contender is a
process that takes time.
Since Lacob and Peter Guber bought the
Warriors for a then-NBA record $450 million
2010, they have with the help of Jackson,
general manager Bob Myers and others
transformed the perennially losing franchise
into a winner.
The Warriors, who nished 23-36 after the
NBA labor lockout in Jacksons rst season,
made the playoffs in consecutive years for the
rst time since the 1990-91 and 1991-92 sea-
sons. And the teams core Curry, Green,
Bogut, Klay Thompson, David Lee, Andre
Iguodala and Harrison Barnes is locked up
for the future.
If not for Bogut badly fracturing his right rib
in the nal week of the regular season or ONeal
spraining his right knee in Game 6 against the
Clippers, the Warriors mightve found a way
past the frontcourt of Blake Grifn and DeAndre
Jordan.
But as long as Jackson has been the coach,
the Warriors have been a no-excuse basket-
ball team, as he has often said. And he knows
management will evaluate him the same way
after falling short of the expectations he
helped create.
I work every single day with a passion and a
commitment like its my last, Jackson said.
Im trying to be a blessing to people. Im try-
ing to impact people, and thats the way I live
my life. Thats the way I coach. I dont get
caught up in it. Im totally condent and have
total faith that no matter what, Im going to be
ne, and thats even if Im a full-time pastor.
Its going to work out.
Warriors fall short of seasons high expectations
BULLDOGS
Hellinger worked into the seventh. Wi t h
Santa Rosa entering the inning with a 3-2
lead, Hellinger retired the rst two batters of
the inning with a pair of groundouts. Then
the freshman surrendered a run by allowing
three straight singles that knocked him out
of the game.
Sam threw well, Williams said. Theres
no reason to pull a guy when hes throwing
the ball that well and getting that many
groundballs, in my opinion.
Along with Game 1 starter Keone
Cabinian, the Bulldogs featured a rotation
of three freshman starters in the regional
playoffs.
Weve put together a nice little staff well
have for next year, Hellinger said. So, Im
kind of excited.
With 27 freshmen of its roster, including
seven players in its playoff lineup, CSM
exceeded a lot of expectations, according to
Vande Guchte.
We just fought through adversity, Vande
Guchte said. We werent even supposed to
be here. No one gave us a chance but we got
to this point and we were one win away. Just
like last year. Its disappointing but we
fought and Im proud of this team.

another, each hitting a two-run shot and a three-run
shot to total ve RBIs apiece on the day.
CSMs intensity didnt wane even with an insur-
mountable lead. Fiame explained the value of never
giving away an at-bat.
You just have to remember that all these at-bats are
extremely important because its live pitching,
Fiame said. You have to take advantage of that. You
go a week without it and then you have to get back
into seeing live pitching again. You just have to
remember when youre up by a lot of runs, you can
never score enough.
But amid all the offense with that incredible 113-2
tally since April 3, its important to remember the
2 is mostly due to the performance of sophomore
right-hander Ashlynne Neil. With the win Sunday,
she improves to 22-2 on the season. And the only run
Yuba scored came in the fifth inning off CSMs
bullpen.
Shes a great pitcher, Akai said. When her stuff
is working theres no shot of them hitting it. Shes
been a big factor. When me and her, when were both
spot-on, its pretty unstoppable.
Next up for the Lady Bulldogs is the Super Regional
playoffs with the winner of the four-team, double-
elimination tournament advancing to the State
Championship tourney. Super Regional play begins
Friday at CSM, along with Ohlone, San Joaquin Delta
and Sacramento.
[Home eld] is a huge advantage to us, CSM head
coach Nicole Borg said. I think we play really well at
home. Its always nice to be at home and play. You
have your fan support and your family, and former
players come watch. Your recruits come and watch.
Its a good deal.
CSM enters the second round of the postseason
pacing all California Community College teams with
a .430 team batting average.
Were all just motivated towards the same goal,
Fiame said. We all want to win and I think thats
what fuels us.

CHICAGO Loyola of Chicago opposite hitter Joe
Smalzer no longer has a chip on his shoulder about being
an underdog.
California schools have long dominated mens vol-
leyball while only a few other schools have won a
national title. Top-seeded Loyola joined the elite group,
beating third-seeded Stanford 3-1 on Saturday night for
the Ramblers rst NCAAmens volleyball title.
For any doubters, Smalzer can point to Loyolas
NCAAtrophy.
We show it by how we play, Smalzer said. We were
ranked No. 1 I think all but two or three weeks this year.
For all the people that are hating on us, look at the
scores. Look at the wins. Look at our record.
Schools west of the Rockies have won 40 of the 45
NCAA titles. Penn State won two championships, and
Ohio State one. Lewis 2003 title was vacated due to
player eligibility.
Before this year, we had never been ranked higher
than seventh or eighth, libero Peter Jasaitis said. For
us to put this together, not just make a Cinderella run at
the end, but really be consistent all year, work hard all
year, stay focused all year on and off the court, you cant
help but be proud about it.
Cody Caldwell had 20 kills and Thomas Jaeschke and
Smalzer each had 12 kills for Loyola (29-1), which won
the nal set 25-15. The Ramblers won their nal 27
matches after losing to Southern California on Jan. 4.

W
hen my last dog, Cooper, was a
pup, my wife and I hired a per-
sonal trainer. We assumed the
pricey, one-on-one instruction would be
superior to a moderately priced group
class. Wrong! For one, we paid for six ses-
sions up front and the trainer, a dirtbag
named Clint, skipped town after three. For
two, he was all about intimidation which
was the wrong approach for our dog (and
most). And, while he may have scared our
dog into responding to him, Cooper didnt
listen to us. There was that, plus his meth-
ods were, lets say, unorthodox. At one
point, he had my wife and I work with
each other, on our front lawn, while
Cooper was still in the backyard. One of
us me, I think played the dog,
while my wife was the owner. I slipped a
collar and leash on and was instructed not
to respond to a word my wife said, but
move around the lawn. This, he told, us, is
what learning is like for a young pup; the
puppy doesnt have a clue of what you
want and doesnt speak your language. We
must have been a sight for our neighbors!
Anyway, I joined PHS/SPCAs staff, and
then quickly enrolled in one of our group
obedience classes. For half the money,
Cooper learned a ton more. He listened to
me through positive reinforcement and
also learned to focus amidst distractions
from other class participants. One-on-one
dog training has its place for dogs that are
overwhelmed or disruptive in a group set-
ting. But, for most people and dogs, group
classes are the way to go, given they com-
bine training and socialization.
PHS/SPCAs group class instructors wont
make you or your wife or partner wear a
collar. What you do on your own time, of
course, is up to you! Consider our many
summer school class options, including
special classes geared toward kids.

NEWYORK Spider-Man can still sling
it at the box ofce.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 debuted
with $92 million in North American the-
aters over the weekend, according to studio
estimates Sunday. It was a solid opening for
Sonys Columbia Pictures, which has
released ve movies about Marvels web-
slinging superhero in the last 14 years.
The release of The Amazing Spider-Man
2 essentially kicks off Hollywoods sum-
mer season and its annual parade of sequels
and spectacle. Marvel movies have regular-
ly commenced summer moviegoing in
recent years, and the Spider-Man 2 open-
ing begins the season with a business-as-
usual blockbuster performance.
Last weeks No. 1 film, the female
revenge comedy The Other Woman, star-
ring Cameron Diaz, slid to a distant second
with $14 million in its second weekend.
The rebooted Spider-Man franchise
starring Andrew Gareld and Emma Stone
isnt performing quite as strongly as Sam
Raimis trilogy with Tobey Maguire. On
opening weekends, the Raimi films
grossed, in order: $114.1 million, $88.2
million and $151.1 million.
The The Amazing Spider-Man, also
directed by Marc Webb, opened on a
Tuesday in 2012, making $62 million on
its debut weekend and $137 million over
its first six days.
The new sequel, which began rolling out
overseas two weeks ago, is also doing huge
international business. It has already
grossed $161 million abroad, and it added
another $116 million over the weekend.
That included $10.4 million from China,
where it opened Sunday on a record 11, 002
screens. And it set a record for Hollywood
titles in India with a $6.5 million debut.
Everywhere we opened just popped,
said Rory Bruer, head of domestic distri-
bution for Sony.

they need to change for the real test.
Additionally, typing or manipulating the
mouse to produce a simulation is a little
harder for younger students. Its taking ele-
mentary students longer to take the tests
than anticipated since students are having
to concentrate on content, think about the
method in which theyre taking the test on
the computer and answer different ques-
tions for different types of computer
responses.
High schools
The San Mateo Union High School
District began its six-week testing trial
April 7. All its schools 11th-graders will
take the test, but only Aragon, San Mateo
and Hillsdale high schools have been
selected for a scientic sample of the tests.
Tenth-graders at Hillsdale also took the
tests. Schools were assigned content areas
for tests in English, math or both.
Peninsula High School students still need
to nish testing, while the other schools
have wrapped up their tests.
Initial reports have been fairly posi-
tive, said Cynthia Clark, director of
Curriculum and Assessment for the district.
Its very time intensive for the student and
that is going to be the learning curve for the
students. The mental stamina was another
factor people pointed out. The time for
these tests is going to be factor we have to
look at.
Exams could take as long as seven hours
total next year. Overall, the technology
system worked well and computer labs tend-
ed to work better than computers on WiFi,
which has less stable infrastructure.
Schools found tablets would not work as
well with free response writing and training
for the teachers in how to proctor an online
exam was time intensive, she said.
Meanwhile, things have also been going
well with the trial tests in the Sequoia
Union High School District. The wireless
access was even able to hold well with 450
tests being taken at the same time, meaning
the district is ready for the tests next year
technology-wise, said Brandon Lee, direc-
tor of Research and Evaluation for district.
Sometimes when youre doing things for
first time you get nervous, Lee said.
Teachers were able to log in and administer
really well. Students were able to take it and
they were all very engaged. The next
piece is trying to train students [for the
tests] since the problems are just harder.
Were working on that as we improve our
curriculum next year.
The district was successful in trying
some of the designated supports and
accommodations for special education
students. Going paperless has its bene-
fits as well, as theres no paper to count
and send back to the district, he said.
Elementary schools
On the elementary district level, the
Redwood City Elementary School District
is in the middle of its eld tests and did quite
a bit of staff training in preparation, said
Phil Lind, director of Assessment and
Student Services, who has been coordinat-
ing the testing.
It created a lot of nervousness about it,
he said. I knew from having worked on the
pilot test last year, once you get started its
so much easier. There are problems that
come up, some of them may be on our side
with the computers and others are with the
Smarter Balanced website. The teachers
that are giving the tests are learning a great
deal about what the Common Core means;
its going to drive a lot of instruction from
now on.
He recounts how some students on desk-
top Macs got booted out of test because the
iTunes application pops up. There are also
some questions not very clear to students
about how to answer, such as how one
manipulates the computer cursor.
In the Burlingame Elementary School
District, Superintendent Maggie MacIsaac
said the trial has helped the district learn a
great deal about the test taking process. The
districts network is also holding up well, as
all students were able to sign on without
any problems and no crashes. The district
has learned that since computers are being
used for testing, they cannot be used for
instruction during the testing time period,
she said.
Generally, students say the questions are
difficult, she wrote in an email.
Sometimes the question is not a question
but a set of directions. They are not used to
that format. Highlighting items is also not
a skill all students are well versed in at this
time.
For the Millbrae Elementary School
District, expanding bandwidth for next year
was the most essential step to being ready
for the real tests next year, as the network
couldnt handle ve schools testing all at
the same time, said Superintendent Linda
Luna.
The thing is teachers are getting a
glimpse into what to teach kids, Luna
said. Staff is doing a fabulous job in being
patient and the kids know how to maneuver
the technology and are being patient.
In the San Mateo-Foster City Elementary
School District, testing began April 22 at
Borel and Bowditch middle schools with
about 2,000 students. Then testing began
for traditional calendar elementary schools
the week of April 28, with approximately
2,650 third- to fth-grade students. The dis-
trict purchased 1,400 Chromebooks to
rotate between the schools for testing.
The opening went well with a few isolat-
ed incidents, district Testing Coordinator
Jared Prolo wrote in an email. The biggest
challenge has been in the startup of the
test, but once everyone is logged in, it has
been smooth. ... Our technology equipment
came in later than anticipated. We also
encountered problems with ordering and
receiving our full shipment of
Chromebooks. As such, we didnt have the
opportunity for students to take the prac-
tice test, so some were initially unaware of
the tools available, such as the spell check-
er or text to speak options. Next year, we
would like to allow for more prep time to
our students can take the practice tests
before the testing window opens.
The district will be testing year-round cal-
endar elementary schools the week of May
12, with approximately 1,300 third- to
fifth-grade students taking the test. The
week of June 1, 1,350 sixth- to eighth-
graders will be testing in the year-round
middle schools.
Trending topics of calls to the
California Department of Education have
included general questions about test
administration, including about accommo-
dations for students and identifying or
resetting passwords, according to the state
agency.

TEST
By Michael R. Blood
LOS ANGELES When Rep. Gary
Miller announced in February he would
retire from Congress, it was hardly a sur-
prise. The surprise was that Miller was a
member of Congress.
The wealthy Republicans unexpected
2012 victory in a Southern California dis-
trict President Barack Obama carried by 17
points was largely attributed to the quirks of
the states primary election rules, which get
their second test June 3.
The system known as top two or, as
detractors call it, the jungle primary, was
one of two remedies California voters ush-
ered in amid widespread dismay with gridlock
in Sacramento and Washington. In Millers
case, so many Democrats ran in the primary
two years ago they effectively canceled each
other out, sending two Republicans to the
runoff in a heavily Democratic district.
In Californias relatively new primary sys-
tem, the top two vote-getters move on to the
general election regardless of their party
afliation. The prospect of a sparse turnout
in June some suggest it could be a record
low compounds what already was a risky
political landscape under the revamped rules.
Campaigns must take into account
more variables and wild cards than weve
ever had to before, said Democratic con-
sultant Roger Salazar, whose stable of for-
mer clients includes former vice presiden-
tial nominee John Edwards and former
California Gov. Gray Davis.
It creates a lot more opportunity for dark
horse candidates to sneak in there, he said.
The idea behind the top-two plan was to
elect more politically moderate ofcehold-
ers, but some of the results the rst time
around were head-scratching: Voters in sev-
eral legislative and congressional districts
in 2012 ended up with two Democrats or
two Republicans on the November ballot,
with no other choices.
Meanwhile, the new system appeared to
do little, if anything, to lure more voters to
the polls. A recent study of primary elec-
tions by the Public Policy Institute of
California found its rst run in 2012 failed
to produce the increase in turnout that many
had hoped for, and there is little evidence
that open primaries in other states have
fared any better.
In a traditional primary election, voters
from a political party choose a nominee
from within their own ranks who advances
to the November ballot. It would be the
same for voters registered to minor parties,
such as the Greens or Libertarians. In gen-
eral, voters in November would choose
from a list of candidates representing vari-
ous political parties.
By comparison, the top-two primary is
a free-for-all.
All candidates appear together on a sin-
gle ballot. Voters are permitted to pick
anyone on the list, but only the two
attracting the most votes advance from the
primary to November.
By Judy Lin
SACRAMENTO The June primary marks
the start of a statewide battle between
Democrats trying to retain power as a super-
majority voting bloc in Californias
Legislature and Republicans eager to prevent
de-facto one-party rule.
While 100 legislative seats are up for
grabs, just a handful of competitive races,
particularly in Orange County and the Central
Valley, will determine whether Democrats will
have the power to raise taxes, pass emergency
legislation, put measures on the ballot and
override gubernatorial vetoes.
This years races have political implica-
tions for the rest of the decade because
expanded term limits will allow incumbents
to stay in one house for longer, up to 12
years. New district lines and a relatively new
top-two election system meant to promote
moderate candidates also are shaping the leg-
islative races.
Less clear is whether voters will be swayed
by criminal cases against three Democratic
state senators because two of them are being
termed out at the end of the year. Sens. Ronald
Calderon of Montebello and Leland Yee of San
Francisco were suspended after being indicted
on federal bribery and corruption charges.
A third Democrat, Sen. Rod Wright, was
suspended after being convicted earlier this
year of voter fraud and perjury for lying about
his legal residence in Los Angeles County.
California Target Book publisher Allan
Hoffenblum, who analyzes legislative and
congressional races, said Democrats are par-
ticularly concerned about holding onto super-
majority status in the Senate because the
upper house has the power to conrm guber-
natorial appointees.
Republicans, eager to rebuild their dimin-
ished ranks, are looking to capitalize on
voter dissatisfaction with the nations eco-
nomic recovery by picking off a few legisla-
tive seats and preventing Democrats from
having too much control. They say voters
believe the economy is on the wrong track
and are critical of President Barack Obamas
poor execution of the health care overhaul.
Democrats are aligning themselves with
Gov. Jerry Brown, who is running for a fourth
term. They are making the case that by work-
ing with the Democratic governor, the major-
ity party was able to steer California back in
the right direction following the recessions
budget crisis and restore education funding.
The Republicans have nobody to enthuse
at top of the ticket, said John Burton, chair-
man of the California Democratic Party.
There are currently 25 Democrats and 12
Republicans serving in the Senate. With three
Democratic senators suspended, Democrats
dropped below the 27 votes they need for
supermajority status.

lages. Thousands of earthquake hous-
es were built in San Francisco that
were sold months later to people who
needed shelter. The houses had to be
moved from the parks and public prop-
erty in San Francisco when they were
sold. Although most have been
destroyed over the years, though two
of these houses are still standing in
San Bruno. In San Mateo County,
almost every house lost their chimney
but most survived minor damage. The
railroad freight depot was completely
destroyed and the trains stopped run-
ning as some rails had been bent.
Union Square, surrounding the train
station had much damage. Liberty
Hall, which housed city ofces, a pub-
lic meeting hall and the re department
building was completely destroyed.
The citys only chemical re truck was
destroyed. Union Hotel, as well as
many other hotels, were damaged,
Central School was partially wrecked
and the Episcopal and Catholic church-
es suffered great damage. The
Episcopal church had to be rebuilt.
Within three days, the newspaper was
being printed and the ood of refugees
from San Francisco began arriving.
Again in 1957, we had a good jolt,
but this was not excessive and did a
minimum of damage. In 1989, the
earth moved again for 15 seconds in
the Loma Prieta area. The quake (6.9)
caused extensive damage throughout
the Bay area, including the collapse of
the Cypress freeway and a portion of
the Bay Bridge. The damage caused was
over $6 billion and it cost 63 people
their lives.
Years of research have not paid off in
prediction of an earthquake happen-
ing. The next one can happen at any
moment.

HISTORY
ed money for multiple project that will
offer a total of 330 emergency and
transitional shelter beds.
County supervisors last week agreed
to give InnVision Shelter Network
$2.2 million for the Maple Street
facility which currently shares a build-
ing with the Sheriffs Work Furlough
program. The program will eventually
move into the new county jail after it
opens in late 2015, freeing that half
for the shelters takeover. The space
will expand from 10,000 square feet to
18,000 square feet, allowing more
beds and programs. Some will be med-
ical respite beds for clients who have
been discharged from a hospital but
continue needing care like medication
and wound dressing.
Currently, the 1950s-era shelter has
75 beds for single men and women
although cots are added during
inclement weather. The waiting list for
a bed is consistently between 30 and
50 names so to expand to 140 beds is
huge, Zelkha said..
The county also gave InnVi si on
another $2 million for the building
where it has operated Family
Crossroads. The owner, MidPen
Housing, is willing to sell the build-
ing for $1 as long as operations con-
tinue but it needs $3 million in reno-
vations, primarily seismic, Zelkha
said.
Negotiations with MidPen are being
nalized.
The state is also loaning $1 million.
Family Crossroads on Hillcrest
Drive provides transitional housing
for 14 families and the county funds
means InnVision Shelter Network is
spared devoting a signicant amount
of its development team on raising
funds for just one building, Zelkha
said.
As part of its allocation, the Board
of Supervisors also handed Samaritan
House $252,111 for renovations on
its 90-bed Safe Harbor shelter in South
San Francisco and $490,673 for
Project WeHope in East Palo Alto to
expand to 100 beds.
The money for the allotments are
part of the countys housing trust fund
which received $13.4 million when
the state dissolved redevelopment
agencies. The supervisors decided last
year to direct the money back toward
affordable housing with $8 million
used for multifamily construction and
$3 million for shelter renovation and
acquisition.
Bill Lowell, head of the countys
Housing Department, said ideally
affordable housing money would not
be used on shelters but that is not real-
istic, particularly in high-cost San
Mateo County.
The answer to homelessness is per-
manent homes and not shelters.
Unfortunately, we are so far behind the
Bay and Northern California in being
able to provide affordable housing that
we do have large homeless problem
and we do need to take care of them,
Lowell said.

SHELTER
trips every summer and wed always eat
beef jerky, my siblings and I. And
Davids family is from Brooklyn and
Queens so he grew up eating pickles.
So we decided to put the two together,
and the names kind of catchy too,
Denise Yosso said.
Making jerky is a time and materials
consuming gig, David and Denise
Yosso said. The Yosso family said they
have a commercial kitchen in Belmont
and although they begin with about
200 pounds of meat a week, it yields
about 60 pounds of jerky.
When you make jerky, its very cost
intensive. ... Its labor intensive
because you have to trim and slice all
the meat, then you marinade it then
dehydrate it. So at the end of the day
you have about a third of what you
started with, Denise Yosso said.
The amount of time it takes to make
and preserve pickles depends on the
variety and the fermentation process
which ranges from one to three weeks,
David Yosso said.
But the love and dedication behind
their perfected pickle jerky combo will
impress a range of palates, David
Yosso said.
We had a particular style we liked,
which we emulated ... we were really
going for the no nitrates, no preserva-
tives higher end quality, David Yosso
said. In other brands, you can nd all
kinds of things you cant even pro-
nounce. So were focusing on the all-
natural ingredients. ... Great protein
healthy snack alternative to many oth-
ers.
Curious consumers can nd JerkN
Pickle products at several farmers mar-
kets throughout the Bay Area, at 30
different independent retailers and at
various events, David Yosso said.
People can also visit the website to
order direct and sign up up for their jerk
of the month club, David Yosso said.
The company is rapidly expanding and
the Yossos said they hope to nd more
help.
The demographic for the people
that like our product is very vast.
[Pickles and Jerky] go well together,
David Yosso said. Wed experimented
quite a bit and made them our whole
lives. ... So I think weve honed our
craft quite a bit and are producing some
pretty exceptional products.

MONDAY, MAY 5, 2014
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Practical information
will come from an unusual source. If you listen
carefully to what others say, you will nd a workable
solution to a nettlesome problem.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Moneymaking conditions
are favorable for you. Venture away from the routine
and keep your options open. If you discover an
interesting line of work, try to arrange an interview.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Keep your comments
to a minimum and your ears open for interesting
information. Others may perceive what you think of as
positive criticism quite differently.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be shrewd and avoid
taking part in dubious joint ventures. You should
make time with people who have something serious
to offer. Consider what you can do to make your
home more inviting.

inexpensive events taking place in your community.
Concerts, book clubs or neighborhood get-
togethers will give you the chance to meet people

Sciatica and herniated discs are often misunderstood.
They can cause pain and numbness intheback,neck,legs,andfeet.Thispainaffect-
severything that you do, from work to play, and ultimately your quality of life. We are
here to tell you that there is hope. We have the technology and experience to help
you fi nd relief from sciatica and back pain. At Crossroads Health Center, we have
helped thousands of pain sufferers just like you. We offer only the most advanced
non-surgical treatments.
Is Surgery the Answer?
It is true that surgery may be the answer for certain types of back injuries. When
considering your options, ask yourself this question If there is a solution to back
pain that doesnt require surgery, is it worth exploring?
Before you consider surgery consider these points

Ihe 8oIutioo. Ihe 6rossroads Method
The Crossroads Method is a proven, comprehensive treatment program which
includes computerized true disc decompression, cold laser therapy, and exercise
rehabilitation to promote long term spinal
health. Spinal decompression is considered
by many doctors to be the most advanced and
successful noninvasive treatment of erious
back, neck, leg or arm pain.
The Crossroads method allows for a much
higher success rate by increasing hydration
and restoring health to your discs. This results
in a more effective and lasting solution to your
pain. There are no side effects and no recov-
ery time is required. This gentle and relaxing
treatment has proven to be effective even
when drugs, epidurals, traditional chiropractic,
physical therapy and surgery have failed
The Crossroads Method has shown dramatic
results.

Many back pain conditions that we see can be helped by our state of the art decom-
pression tables and our treatment programs. Decompression relieves pressure
that builds up on the discs and nerves. The task of relieving pain comes about as a
result of drawing the leaking gel of a herniated disc back into place. Decompression
achieves this by creating negative pressure within the disc, referred to as negative
intra-discal pressure. This essentially creates a vacuum which draws the bulging
and herniated disc material back into the disc space, relieving pressure on painful
nerves. This process of non-surgical decompression combined with a customized
rehabilitation program allow the body to heal itself naturally.
Who is a 6aodidate Ior the 6rossroads Method
Our spinal decompression system has been found to relieve the pain associated
with disc degeneration, hemiated and bulging discs, facet syndrome, and sciatica.
Spinal decompression is a great option because back surgery is so risky.
Why 6rossroads heaIth 6eoter
Dr. Thomas Ferrigno D.C and his team have vast experience in treating patients
suffering from severe disc disease. Dr. Ferrigno has performed over 25,000 decom-
pression treatments and is currently only 1 of 2 doctors in the state of California who
is University Certified in Spinal Decompression Therapy. Dr. Ferrigno is also part of
the Disc Centers of America Team who are a national group of doctors that have
gone through extensive training that follow the protocols set up by The International
Medical Advisory Board on Spinal Decompression, and follow the protocols set for-
ward by Dr. Norman Shealy the Honorary Chairman, former Harvard professor, and
probably the most published doctor in the world on spinal decompression therapy.
