Other states are moving ahead with

Daylight savings
time make up your mind
Reopen the
Bridgepointe ice rink
Editor,
With everyone lately opining about
standard and daylight saving time, I
gured I might as well weigh in my
opinion.
One thing I think many of us can
agree on is the wish to eliminate all
this silly time-changing business
twice a year. Obviously tradition isnt
sacrosanct, as the length of each period has changed over the years. In the
early 1970s, standard time began in
late October and daylight time started
in late April six months of each.
Now, standard time has been so whittled down that we observe eight
months of daylight time and a mere
four months of standard the old
mnemonic spring forward is now a
misnomer, since daylight time begins
these days at the end of winter. My
personal preference would be to keep
our clocks on standard time year
round, just as some would prefer yearround daylight time. But regardless of
what we do or dont do with our timepieces, the days of winter are short
and the nights are long, and the
Editor,
Kids, ages 2 to 102, love skating.But for those still on the launching-pad, skating is a great way to
grow. Skating develops a versatile
core-based athleticism, but the injury
rate is much lower than for most
sports. Furthermore, the skater learns
to embrace the painstaking and counterintuitive. Skaters, unsurprisingly,
do exceptionally well in school.
The Bridgepointe mall owners
think that retail space will give them
prot, while the ice rink will leave
them penniless. However, with an
inspired publicity campaign, an ice
rink can soon be more reliably profitable than any store.
Belmont Iceland closes April 30,
leaving the busy Ice Oasis as the only
ice rink on the Peninsula. If you care

Automakers: Automatic
braking in cars by 2022
WASHINGTON Automatic
braking will be standard in most
cars and light trucks within six
years and on heavier SUVs and
pickup trucks within eight years
under an agreement that transportation officials and automakers announced on Thursday.
The voluntary agreement with
20 car manufacturers means that
the important safety technology
will be available more quickly
than if the government had gone
through the lengthy process of
issuing mandatory rules, said
Mark Rosekind, head of the
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration.
However, some safety advocates
have filed a petition asking the
government to issue mandatory
regulations. They say voluntary
agreements arent enforceable,
and that since automatic braking
is already available in some cars,
issuing rules requiring the technology could be done faster than
the six to eight years allowed
under the agreement.

Nationals Arroyo has torn
rotator cuff; career in doubt
VIERA, Fla. Washington Nationals righthander Bronson Arroyo says he has a significantly torn right rotator cuff, but hes not ready
to call off his comeback attempt at 39 just yet.
Arroyo has not pitched since June 14, 2014
because of Tommy John surgery. He was
scratched from his start Wednesday because of a
sore shoulder. The 15-year
veteran says he is not
going to have surgery and
will either rehabilitate the
injury or retire.
I feel like its probably
done, he said Thursday.
But were going to compare my old MRI from 14
to this one and just make
Bronson
sure, because Im still realArroyo
ly strong in a lot of positions, which I wasnt the last time I was hurting.
Well see. It might be something we can
calm down and maybe try to rehab. Its probably going to be a long shot at this point.
Arroyo, a 2006 All-Star with Cincinnati,
signed a minor league deal with the Nationals in
January. He was competing for a spot at the
back of the rotation but those spots clearly
belong to Joe Ross and Tanner Roark.
Arroyo says he has not been fully heathy
since the surgery. He had been hoping his
shoulder would improve as he built his arm

said it was a hard infield, which may have
been a contributing factor.
Marte was checked by team trainers and
remained in the game.
Seattle lef-hand pitcher James Paxton said
he went to his breaking stuff too often and
that threw him off his game. He retired the
first two hitters he faced in each of the first
two innings but still allowed seven runs in
two-plus innings.
Its a mental thing really, Paxton said.
I have to do a better job recognizing that I
lost the breaking stuff. I needed to step off
the mound and disconnect myself, ask what
I was doing wrong and how to fix it.
Paxton walked two and gave up two hits to
open the third.
I may have been going a little too fast,
he said. I was too quick to the plate. Im
still refining my breaking ball. The consistency is not there yet. I just didnt have a
strength. Instead, his last outing on March 10
when he threw three perfect innings against
the Houston could be the final pitches of his
career.
If it stayed where it was, I could pitch with
that, said Arroyo, who has a career record of
145-131 with a 4.19 ERA. But it got the point
in my last outing where its just significantly,
so much pain, that theres just no way to possibly pitch, and theres also no way to turn around
and pitch again (in five days).
For now, hes hoping doctors can find some
way to let him keep pitching.
This has been my lifes work, he said. You
kind of have your eye on the prize since youre
a 5 or 6-year-old kid. This is what you do. You
dont really know anything else. So its definitely not something thats going to be easy to
walk away from if I have to.
good day.
Graveman was happy to build his pitch
count and get up and down more often
between innings.
Mentally, it was about being more prepared, Graveman said. I treated it like a
regular season game, where you have to stay
locked in for a longer period of time.
Graveman also mixed his four-seamer in,
along with the two-seamer and changeup.
He was more disappointed in walking three
than giving up the home runs.
I was missing by a little, trying to be too
fine, he said. But I also battled back into
counts. I labored a little bit at the end but
you still have to find ways to get outs.

NICHOLS

office in Austin, Texas, one day when he
knew what Midnight Special would be
about. That was when he heard the news of
Sandy Hook.
This movie, its a silly sci-fi chase
movie, but at its heart is me trying to deal
with that: Pulling over to the side of the
road and hearing about children being shot
and picturing my son being afraid in his
final moments and just being devastated,
says Nichols. Does the movie reach
those heights? Probably not. Is it good
that it doesnt? Maybe. But this is what I
was feeling.
Midnight Special, which Warner Bros.
will release Friday, is the first studio film
for Nichols whose films personal tales
rooted in classically American moviemaking have made the Arkansas native one
of the most exciting voices in independent film. Midnight Special finds him
developing his command of special effects
in a bigger budget production than hes
done in the past, yet remaining a steadfastly sincere storyteller.
The thing that Jeff possesses in spades
is if you carved his heart out, Im sure it
would be heavier than most people, says

WEEKEND JOURNAL
Joel Edgerton, a co-star in the film. He
feels things very deeply. His films are
infused with an emotion that generally
trends toward family and love and protection and care. Even if theres violence, its
because its spurred on by the lack of those
things.
In Midnight Special, Michael
Shannon (who has appeared in every
movie by Nichols, beginning with his
debut, Shotgun Stories) stars as the
father to 8-year-old Alton (Jaeden
Lieberher), a boy who possesses a mysterious special power. Alton, who wears
goggles to cover eyes that can illuminate
in searing beams of light, has attracted the
pursuit of the government (Adam Driver
plays a sensitive NSA agent) and the religious sect from which his father is trying
to rescue him.
The film, patient but explosive, metes
out exposition slowly and leaves some
questions unanswered. It opens with a
Chevelle throttling through the night,
headlights off, with the father and his
accomplice (Edgerton) driving with nightvision goggles. Their mission is vague
and uncertain, but Shannons father is
compelled by a faith in his son and a determination to shepherd Alton where he
needs to go.
Thats parenthood, Nichols, who has a
5-year-old son with his wife, said in an
interview over lunch in Greenwich
PLAY
Nichols next film, currently being edited, is Loving, about the interracial couple Richard (Edgerton) and Mildred Loving
(Ruth Negga) whose marriage made them
criminals in Virginia in the 1950s. Focus
Features will release it in November, placing it the heart of awards season.
Jeffs very comfortable around me, but
sometimes being comfortable is not the
best thing for art, says Shannon, who has
a small part in Loving. Its not such a
bad thing for him to work with somebody
like Ruth. Its a different kind of story for
him and its good for him to branch out.
For the ever-progressing filmmaker,
Loving may be yet another evolution.
At the films mention, Nichols cups his
hands over this reporters voice recorder
and whispers: Its the best movie Ive
ever made.
Its very quiet. Its very silent. Its very
painful. Its very beautiful, he says. In a
time where the political debates around
marriage equality and around race are so
heated, this film just cuts through it. Its
just about these two people.

Its a story thats becoming more
and more familiar with the price of real
estate skyrocketing and new property
owners realizing they can raise rents
in this high-demand market.
Recently, the city of San Mateo
began the 25th Avenue Initiative,
which may include street improvements and seeks to highlight the variety of local businesses on whats
been called the citys second downtown.
After purchasing the building also
occupied by two other tenants in
February, the new property owner
tripled the base rent and sought to
have the renters pay for other costs
such as building maintenance and
property taxes, Kaufmann said.
Their rent would have quadrupled
overnight, Kaufmann said while
remaining patient and understanding.
Its too bad. I cant blame the new
guys for having a new price on the
place because the price things are
selling for are just astronomically

nections, rental car facilities, and
shops necessary to meet the needs of
train passengers, the independent
Legislative Analysts Office said in a
report, referring to the first planned
end point near the town of Shafter,
north of Bakersfield.
The LAO urged state lawmakers to
require more detailed planning on the
cost, scope and schedule of each highspeed rail segment, noting that the
projects every-other-year business
plans make numerous changes that
make it hard to compare costs over
time.
Still, analysts say the rail authoritys new plan to first build north to the
San Francisco Bay Area instead of to
Southern California makes some
sense.
23
With future funding uncertain, officials last month called for building the
first 250-mile segment from north of
Bakersfield to San Jose. It would begin
operating in 2025 three years later
and 50 miles shorter than the original
planned route that would have gone to
the San Fernando Valley.
Backers said the plan lets the state
build an operating portion of the line
without relying on additional money
that might never come. Supporters
hope construction will generate
momentum and private investment to
pay for the rest of the project south to
the Los Angeles area.
The legislative analyst also questioned the math on that.
It is unclear whether the system will
actually generate an operating surplus.
Moreover, the plan estimates that the
amount of funding that could be generated would fall significantly short ...
and does not identify how this shortfall would be met.
The updated plans reflect the politi-

heart. The board found that during the
course of the hearing he was deceptive in
his answers and that he was emotionless
for what hed done and that it demonstrated
to the board members that he lacked
insight into the crime and why he committed it.
Pena and Garcia were convicted in 2003
of stabbing to death Tolua, a Capuchino
High School senior who on April 8, 2001,
asked uninvited guests to leave his girlfriends house during an out-of-control
party at her parents San Carlos home.
After breaking things in the house and
refusing to leave, a chaotic fight ended
with Pena and Garcia killing Tolua in the
kitchen before fleeing.

age it has caused to the cars propulsion
systems and the repair process could be
lengthy.
Its going to take months for the fleet
to be recovered fully, Hardt said. He also
said in his around nine years with BART,
hes never seen an issue of this sort and of
this magnitude.
BART officials first reported problems
between the two stations shortly after 10
a.m. Wednesday. Train service between the
stations has been halted since then and
buses have been transporting riders.
Hardt said theres a voltage problem that
either stems from an oversupply of electricity or an issue the train cars are having
with returning the power received.
He said the cause of the problem hasnt
o ut an y t i me s o o n .
The way they killed Tony, it was brutal,
they stabbed him in the heart twice, they
stabbed him in the lung, in the spleen,
they severed his fingers it was just a brutal murder, Tolua said. I hate to see anybody in jail because its not a nice place to
be. But when you do a crime like this, and
the nature of the crime, it was terrible; you
dont think youre just going to kill someone and walk away and get free in 15
years.
Recalling the case as a parents worst
nightmare particularly as the girlfriends parents were on a short trip in Lake
Tahoe when she decided to host a party that
quickly got out of hand Wagstaffe said
hes glad Toluas family received some
reassurance Thursday.
People forget the families suffer forever. Sometimes it seems like the focus is on
the offender or the defendant, but what we
remember is the victims suffer forever. So
Im glad that what they wanted (for Pena to
remain in prison) was at least accomplished today, Wagstaffe said Thursday.
been isolated. Potential reasons run the
gamut from malfunctioning aged infrastructure to too much power coming from
PG&E.
BART is flying in at least one outside
expert in power control and protection and
is consulting with PG&E officials to further investigate the issue.
Hardt said that although the areas are not
associated with the same electrical infrastructure, BART train cars were damaged
similarly due to a problem mid-February in
Oakland.
There were also intermittent train car
propulsion failures around the same time in
the Transbay Tube, which runs under the
Bay and connects the East Bay with San
Francisco.
The latest glitch, between Pittsburg/Bay
Point and North Concord/Martinez, has
not been intermittent. Hardt said theres a
silver lining in that, given that the source
of this new issue can be isolated.
Hardt was not able to provide an estimate

During trial, Garcia argued he acted in
self-defense and Pena claimed he was part
of the initial fight but denied any participation in the killing. Their defense attorneys at trial argued their clients felt
trapped in the kitchen and feared for their
lives when a fight broke out.
The attorney who represented Pena at his
parole hearing Thursday could not be identified for comment.
Darlene Tolua said the friends of her son,
who was preparing to go to college and was
well-liked, continue to check in on her and
were also happy to hear Pena would remain
locked up.
She thanked the District Attorneys
Office for being supportive and like
Wagstaffe, hopes Garcia who is currently incarcerated in San Luis Obispo will
remain in prison.
I do hope again, for the same reasons
for community protection, that the parole
board sees the second case as they did
today, Wagstaffe said.
sporadically from a specialized manufacturer.
BARTs engineers only had 12 on hand
and may need around 100, Hardt said.
Although some of the devices may be salvaged, buying these devices alone may
cost up to an estimated $100,000.
The alternating-current model train cars,
which have been updated much more
recently, mostly sustained blown fuses a
much easier and less expensive fix, Hardt
said.
Despite the damage the voltage spike
caused to train cars, it did not present a danger to riders, BART officials said.
Buses will continue transporting people
between the Pittsburg/Bay Point and North
Concord/Martinez stations Friday, a trip
estimated Thursday morning to take around
15 minutes.
BART officials apologized for the inconvenience and said crews were working
around the clock to identify the problem
and fix it.
