OUSTER ––––––

four-fifths’ vote to go forward and as we spoke to the court once before, we were told the issue is not ripe. Two of the members of this board have already made public comments,” Mazzucco said.

Mazzucco was referring to Supervisors Ray Mueller and Noelia Corzo’s previous comments they’ve made at press conferences related to a 400-page report the county commissioned from retired Santa Clara County Judge LaDoris Cordell.

MAZZUCCO

Mazzucco said it would be unfair for the board to act as the accuser, prosecutor, judge, jury and appellate body.

Mazzucco said that due to Measure A being certified on April 3, the board must find a reason to fire Corpus for things that occurred from April 19 forward. It was unclear why he said that date.

Reasons listed in report

The law firm hired by the county listed reasons as to why she should be removed in the private report. The report is supported by 524 pages of evidence and 42 witness interviews that reflect a detailed investigation into Corpus’s actions, according to a report to the board by County Attorney John Nibbelin.

Nibbelin’s report on the notice alleges Corpus has broken the law related to her performance as sheriff, flagrantly and repeatedly neglected duties and obstructed an investigation into her conduct.

Residents want report

During public comment, five people said they want the report released. “It was unacceptable that she was given the option to keep the notice of intent document private. No elected official under investigation for misconduct should be allowed to decide what the public gets to see,” said Vanessa Lemus-Tapia.

Lemus-Tapia is the daughter of Carlos Tapia, the head of the deputy’s union, who was arrested hours

before the release of Cordell’s report, which alleged Corpus and former chief of staff Victor Aenlle had engaged in retaliation and intimidation of employees, and had conflicts of interest.

County taxpayers funded it

San Mateo residents said documents should be released because it is their money being used to fund it. “I paid for it with my taxpayer dollars, as well as everything else I paid for on the liability side, and we really need to know. As a voter, I knocked on doors for Christina Corpus. I believed in her call for transparency and reform. And to (her) lawyers, 90,000 residents voted for Measure A compared to 84,000 who voted for Christina, so it’s not the case that she has more support. I do feel betrayed and disappointed by her,” said Nancy Goodban of nonprofit Fixin’ SMC, which wants the county to hire an inspector general.

Post makes case for confidential report on sheriff

The Daily Post yesterday challenged a decision by lawyers for San Mateo County to keep secret a law firm’s report into alleged misconduct by Sheriff Christina Corpus. But an attorney for the county says the newspaper’s request may be premature.

The report by the firm of Keker, Van Nest & Peters will be used to decide if she should be fired.

The Board of Supervisors, who hired Keker, asked Corpus is she would like to have the report kept confidential, and she agreed.

However, California law says the county doesn’t have the right to keep the report secret.

Under Penal Code Section 832.7 (b) (C), the county can’t keep secret “any record relating to an incident in which a sustained finding was made by any law enforcement agency or oversight agency involving dishonesty by a peace officer or custodial officer directly relating to the reporting, investigation, or prosecution

of a crime, or directly relating to the reporting of, or investigation of misconduct by, another peace officer or custodial officer, including, but not limited to, any false statements, filing false reports, destruction, falsifying, or concealing of evidence, or perjury.”

David Silberman, chief deputy county counsel, agreed that the law requires the release of the report, but only after Corpus has “exhausted” her right to appeal. In fact, Corpus’ lawyers said yesterday they plan to go to Superior Court to stop the supervisors from removing her.

Other reports released

Two reports released publicly by the county have accused the sheriff of making false statements.

Retired Superior Court Judge LaDoris Cordell, who is the former police auditor in San Jose and has served on jail oversight committees in Santa Clara

County, was hired last year by the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors to investigate complaints about Corpus and her then-chief of staff Victor Aenlle. Cordell concluded, “Lies, secrecy, intimidation, retaliation, conflicts of interest and abuses of authority are the hallmarks of the Corpus administration.”

In her report, she found several instances where, in her opinion, Corpus was dishonest, including her claim that she wasn’t having an affair with Aenlle.

A second report by the Oppenheimer Investigations Group, released to the public on May 15, found Corpus wasn’t truthful when she accused County Manager Mike Callagy of misconduct.

The Post believes that reports by Cordell and Oppenheimer meet the statute’s requirements that an oversight agency determined that a peace officer, in this case Corpus, engaged in dishonesty, and therefore the latest report by Keker should be public.

Caltrain trims ambitious train plan

BY BRADEN CARTWRIGHT Daily Post Staff Writer

Caltrain is ditching its plan to drastically increase the number of trains running per hour, but board members are still wondering if the agency is being realistic about its future.

Caltrain currently runs four trains per hour in each direction during peak commute times.

The agency’s “long-range service vision” approved in October 2019 calls for up to 16 trains per hour, including four high-speed rail trains in each direction.

Falling ridership

Melissa Jones, deputy director of policy development, said that ridership has plummeted, population projections have flattened and financing has become more constrained.

“The justification for expanded growth, all that excitement we saw back in 2019, it’s eroded,” Jones told the board yesterday.

So Jones is recommending updating the service vision to call for up to 12 trains per hour, including four highspeed rail trains.

Other impacts

The updated vision will cut costs for construction projects, such as developing near the tracks, adding passing tracks or separating crossings from the road, Jones said.

Cities across the Peninsula use Caltrain’s service vision to make decisions around expensive grade separations, which involve building bridges or underpasses that don’t need any gates.

Board members said yesterday that

they are skeptical of reaching even 12 trains per hour.

High-speed rail

Palo Alto Councilman Pat Burt said the costs and timeline for finishing high-speed rail keep going up and getting delayed.

The Trump administration announced plans on Wednesday to pull $4 billion in funding from high-speed rail, calling the project “a boondoggle.”

“The notion that we’re going to have four (high-speed rail) trains an hour is pretty close to a fiction,” Burt said yesterday.

Caltrain is locked into an agreement with the California High-Speed Rail Authority to accommodate four trains, Executive Director Michelle Bouchard said.

Caltrain has indicated that passing

tracks would go in Redwood City and around California Avenue in Palo Alto.

Skepticism remains

San Francisco board member Steve Heminger agreed yesterday that even the reduced service vision is unrealistic, specifically its inclusion of a rebuilt line along the Dumbarton Bridge and a connection to Monterey.

“I wonder if it would make more sense to start with a blank piece of paper,” Heminger said about the service vision.

Santa Clara County Supervisor Margaret Abe-Koga questioned the cost of running diesel trains from San Jose to Gilroy, and whether the extension could be run more efficiently.

Bouchard said she will discuss the board’s feedback with her team and return in the fall.

financial effect on either SHC or Stanford University,” Bainbridge said in a report for the FPPC.

City Attorney Molly Stump reached out to the FPPC in September to find out if Shikada had a conflict of interest based on his recent marriage to the director of clinical operations at Stanford Health Care.

Stump, assisted by attorney Gary Winuk, argued that Stanford and Stanford Health Care are separate nonprofits, with separate boards, finances and employees.

What it does, doesn’t do “Stanford University does not control SHC’s assets, debts or liabilities,” Stump and Winuk said.

The university’s board appoints and removes members of the Stanford Health Care board.

Bainbridge said Stanford’s control of the board is enough to consider them the same entity.

“The two entities should continue to be treated as one and the same for purposes of the (California Political Reform) Act’s conflict-of-interest provisions,” he said.

Upcoming meeting

The FPPC will consider Bainbridge’s opinion for approval at a meeting in Sacramento on June 19.

“The commission’s determination on this issue will have repercussions beyond just the facts of this specific situation and will affect the future analysis of all universities in California and their affiliated entities,” Winuk said in a letter to FPPC on May 27.

Winuk was the FPPC’s chief of enforcement from 2009 to 2015.

The issue of city officials recusing themselves from Stanford discussions isn’t new. Vice Mayor Vicki Veenker has left the room for council discussions on Stanford because she helps the university with patents as an attorney.

Musk and Trump’s relationship crumbles

Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s alliance took off like one of SpaceX’s rockets. It was supercharged and soared high. And then it blew up.

The spectacular flameout yesterday peaked as Trump threatened to cut Musk’s government contracts and Musk claimed that Trump’s administration hasn’t released all the records related to sex abuser Jeffrey Epstein because Trump is mentioned in them.

The tech entrepreneur even shared a post on social media calling for Trump’s impeachment and skewered the president’s signature tariffs, pre-

dicting a recession this year. The messy blow-up between the president of the United States and the world’s richest man played out on their respective social media platforms after Trump was asked during a White House meeting with Germany’s new leader about Musk’s criticism of his spending bill. Trump had largely remained silent as Musk stewed over the last few days on his social media platform X, condemning the president’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill.” But Trump clapped back yesterday in the Oval Office, saying he was “very disappointed in Musk.”

Alamo theater on verge of opening

The Alamo Drafthouse is on the verge of opening its new theater in Mountain View at the San Antonio Shopping Center, the company announced yesterday.

The theater will open on June 16 with three “training days,” offering a 25% discount on food and non-alcoholic drinks, followed by an opening at Valley Fair in Santa Clara on June 23, the company said.

“It’s been 28 years since Alamo Drafthouse’s very first location opened, so it’s appropriate that the very first movie to open at our biggest expansion ever is Danny Boyle’s ‘28 Years Later,’” CEO Michael Kustermann said in a statement. “We have great expectations for these mega-theaters.”

The Mountain View theater will also have a sing-along celebration on opening day of The Lonely Island’s 2016 comedy, “Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping,” the company announced.

The theater has been closed since July 1, 2024, after the Showplace Icon Theatre abruptly moved out at 2575 California St.

Bay Area expansion

Alamo Drafthouse, based in Austin with 44 locations nationwide, was bought by Sony Pictures Experiences last year and signed leases in Santa Clara and Mountain View in December.

The Mountain View theater has 10 movie rooms, a bar and kitchen. The new decor will honor “cybernetic cinema,” and the menu will have five different popcorn flavors, the company said.

“While at (Showplace) Icon, guests interfaced with a kiosk for all food orders, at Alamo they take their seat in a brand-new recliner, and will get service throughout their feature via a call button at every seat,” General Manager Scott Dunaway said in a statement yesterday.

Enjoy the Best of California Dining at Portola Bistro

Enjoy the best of California dining at Portola Bistro, where you’ll find both classic and playful takes on bistro fare served up in comfort and style.

Located across the way from Bianchini’s Market in Ladera County Shopper at 3130 Alpine Road, Portola Bistro is the latest restaurant from Dino Tekdemir and Allen Isik, the pair behind Anatolian Kitchen in Palo Alto and Barbayani Taverna in downtown Los Altos. But the new restaurant isn’t Greek or Turkish, said Tekdemir, but instead takes French, Italian and Mediterranean influences and refreshes them with California flair – and a focus on simple, fresh ingredients that make every dish shine. The menu offers classics like veal Milanese and beef bourguignon alongside inventive creations such as an Alaskan halibut with red beet puree and saffron risotto or scallops served with caramelized fennel, pumpkin seeds in an orange butter sauce. Diners can also enjoy thin-crust pizzas straight from their Italian pizza oven, from the traditional Margherita to a distinctly Californian apple, fig and prosciutto pizza with Brie.

“That’s what I love about bistro style; there’s room to play,” said Tekdemir. (He says his personal favorite dish is the slow-braised lamb pappardelle ragu with sauteed mushrooms and olives.)

The restaurant has also just started offering a special 3-course prixfixe dinner Monday and Tuesday evenings for only $45. Diners start with their the popular French onion soup or farmer’s market salad for their first course, while entree options include a vegetarian risotto; lasagna Bolognese; rigatoni alla vodka with Italian sausage; and free-range chicken breast sauteed in lemon, capers and white wine. A sweet treat of tiramisu or ice cream caps the meal.

The restaurant also hosts a happy hour at the bar every day from 4 to 6 p.m., where you can get a classic cocktail or glass of wine for $8 or enjoy $10 bar bites including garlic truffle fries,

shrimp scampi and sliders. On Wine Wednesdays, diners enjoy a complimentary glass of red or white. The restaurant just received their full liquor license, and an array of artisan cocktails – from their Lavender Martini and Hibiscus Margarita to the Smoky Old-Fashioned and Paper Plane – have now joined the mix of California and European wines on the menu. One of those vintages, by the way, is the ultra-local pinot noir from Blumenkranz Vineyards, which grows its grapes right in the foothills of Portola Valley.

Tekdemir says he and Isik are enjoying being part of the Portola Valley community. They love to see families park their strollers alongside patio tables during weekend brunch and colleagues enjoying happy hour after work. They are looking forward to hosting winemaker dinners and live music in the near future.

For more information or to make a reservation, go to portolabistro.com or call (650) 800-7248. The restaurant is available for private events and offers catering for social and corporate affairs.

Hospital seeks public’s

help identifying patient

Officials at the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center in San Jose yesterday asked for help identifying a patient who was found along the railroad tracks in Santa Clara after being hit by a train over a month ago.

The man, who is in his 30s or 40s, was involved in an “incident” on the Caltrain tracks in Santa Clara on April 25 at 11:14 a.m., according to a statement from Santa Clara Valley Healthcare spokesman Roger Ross.

The man is 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs about 150 pounds. He was wearing a light blue hooded shirt and blue jeans on the day he was taken to the hospital, Ross said.

Anyone with information related to the patient can call the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center at (408) 885-5504 and pick option 1.

MYSTERY PATIENT

Avenidas, which provides programs and services to seniors throughout Santa Clara and San Mateo counties, has consolidated many of its offerings under the umbrella of their new Social Work Services division in order to offer clients a more straightforward approach to navigating healthcare and community resources.

Avenidas Social Work Services provides elder care consultations; helps caregivers navigate legal, financial, and health care systems; provides enhanced care management for aging adults who are Medi-Cal recipients; and connects seniors to community resources like food banks, transportation services and social supports.

“All these programs used to be in different silos,” said Thomas Kingery, the new director of Avenidas Social Work Services. “Now it’s one big robust program under one umbrella. We’re going to be able to offer more to the community.”

Kingery started at Avenidas as a case manager in 2019 and soon afterward spearheaded the creation of their Rainbow Collective, which offers social opportunities and resources for LGBTQ

seniors. In 2023, he became manager of the Enhanced Care Management service, and last month he was appointed to lead the new Social Work Services program.

To help aging adults who are enrolled in Medi-Cal, Avenidas’ Enhanced Care Management service can coordinate health needs and medically tailored meals,

the best of the BAY AREA

provide free transportation to doctors’ appointments and assist with housing navigation and finding in-home assistance.

Their Care Partners service – which is free to anyone age 50 or older – helps seniors access public benefits, community resources and medical care. They also provide elder care consulting to help family caregivers navigate complex legal, financial and health care systems. That can mean, for example, helping families find ways for their relatives to age in place with referrals to adult day health and home care or navigating their moves to assisted living and memory care.

“If you have challenges in supporting older family members with dementia or any health or social concern, reach out to Avenidas first and see how we can help,” said Kingery.

Kingery said one of the most common requests he sees is for information about finding a home care agency. Avenidas can offer guidance in this search and they also give families a list of questions they should ask any hired caregiver, whether agency or private individual, so they don’t go into the process blindly.

LEAVE VACATION IN THE CAMERA!

Exercise

A three-year exercise program improved survival in colon cancer patients and kept disease at bay, a first-of-itskind international experiment showed.

With the benefits rivaling some drugs, experts said cancer centers and insurance plans should consider making exercise coaching a new standard of care for colon cancer survivors. Until then, patients can increase their physical activity after treatment, knowing they are doing their part to prevent cancer from coming back.

“It’s an extremely exciting study,” said Dr. Jeffrey Meyerhardt of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, who wasn’t involved in the research. It’s the first randomized controlled trial to show a reduction in cancer recurrences and

improved survival linked to exercise, Meyerhardt said.

Prior evidence was based on comparing active people with sedentary people, a type of study that can’t prove cause and effect.

Study method

The new study — conducted in Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Israel and the United States — compared people who were randomly selected for an exercise program with those who instead received an educational booklet.

“This is about as high a quality of evidence as you can get,” said Dr. Julie Gralow, chief medical officer of the American Society of Clinical Oncolo-

gy. “I love this study because it’s something I’ve been promoting but with less strong evidence for a long time.”

Researchers followed 889 patients with treatable colon cancer who had completed chemotherapy. Half were given information promoting fitness and nutrition. The others worked with a coach, meeting every two weeks for a year, then monthly for the next two years.

Coaches helped participants find ways to increase their physical activity. Many people, including Terri Swain-Collins, chose to walk for about 45 minutes several times a week.

“This is something I could do for myself to make me feel better,” said Swain-Collins, 62, of Kingston, Ontario. Regular contact with a friendly coach kept her motivated and accountable, she said.

Promising results

After eight years, the people in the structured exercise program not only became more active than those in the control group but also had 28% fewer cancers and 37% fewer deaths from

any cause. There were more muscle strains and other similar problems in the exercise group.

“When we saw the results, we were just astounded,” said study co-author Dr. Christopher Booth, a cancer doctor at Kingston Health Sciences Centre in Kingston, Ontario.

Exercise programs can be offered for several thousand dollars per patient, Booth said, “a remarkably affordable intervention that will make people feel better, have fewer cancer recurrences and help them live longer.”

What’s next?

Researchers collected blood from participants and will look for clues tying exercise to cancer prevention, whether through insulin processing or building up the immune system or something else.

Swain-Collins’ coaching program ended, but she is still exercising. The new evidence will give cancer patients a reason to stay motivated.

“Now we can say definitively exercise causes improvements in survival,” said paper co-author Kerry Courneya.

Ana de Armas kills a lot in ‘Ballerina’

BY JOCELYN NOVECK Associated Press Writer

Watch a bunch of John Wick movies all in a row, and you can get pretty paranoid.

You start to think everyone’s an assassin. The guy at the newsstand, the street musician, the subway rider, that nice neighbor in the elevator — ruthless contract killers, all.

So perhaps it shouldn’t be too surprising that in “From the World of John Wick: Ballerina,” the latest installment in the Wickian world, we reach the logical endpoint: a town where every single inhabitant is a killer. Yes, it’s a picture-perfect, snowy winterscape in Austria, where everyone wears wool beanies and very nice sweaters. But they also wield a mean flamethrower, and schoolkids have mandatory shooting practice.

Making of an assassin

The early scenes in this wacky place high in the mountains are the best part of “Ballerina” — they actually contain deft surprises and even a glimmer of humor, which is hardly something we expect in a John Wick film. (Have you ever see the guy smile?) Watching our energetic star, Ana de Armas, engage in a plate-smashing contest with a sweet waitress-turned-vicious-killer reminds us that action can be clever,

even if most scenes in this series inevitably become numbing, as the body count rises stratospherically.

Before we go further, some clarification on where this film fits into the timeline. Let’s forget (for now) that there was a John Wick 4, because the events of “Ballerina” take place during the third movie. So, erase from your mind whatever huge, life-altering thing may or may not have happened in the last film. OK?

Anyway! We first meet Eve as a child, living alone with her cherished father in some wind-swept coastal abode. Suddenly, a crew of black-clad assassins arrives by sea, targeting the father. He manages to protect Eve, but dies from his wounds.

Soon, now-orphaned Eve is approached by Winston (Ian McShane, returning) owner of the Continental Hotel. Winston says he can bring her to her father’s family. He takes her to The Director (a haughty Anjelica Huston), who welcomes the budding dancer to what seems an elite ballet academy but is also the training ground of the Ruska Roma, the crime organization where Wick himself learned his trade.

Enter John Wick

The years go by. Eve is now a young woman determined to strike out on her own. So when Wick himself (Keanu Reeves, of course, appearing in a few key scenes) makes a crucial

stop at the academy, Eve looks at him and asks, “How do I get out of here?”

“The front door is unlocked,” Wick replies – a line that got applause at the screening I was at, but so did virtually everything Wick said or did. “No, how do I start doing what YOU do?” Eve asks. Wick tells her she can still leave — she has the choice to reject a killer’s life. The sad subtext: He does not.

But while Wick wants out — always — Eve wants IN. Otherwise we wouldn’t have a movie. And so, her quest for vengeance takes her, clue by dangerous clue (and against the Director’s strict orders) to the snowy hamlet of Hallstatt. There, the fearsome Chancellor (Gabriel Byrne, duly chilly) leads a band of assassins — all of whom want to kill her.

And so Eve has to fight, using all the training and ingenuity she has amassed. That means using ever more interesting weapons to kill an endless supply of people (it must be said, the cheers from moviegoers are, as ever, disconcerting.) And, by the end, getting pretty comfortable with a flamethrower.

Release info

“From the World of John Wick: Ballerina,” a Lionsgate release in theaters today, has been rated R by the Motion Picture Association “for strong/bloody violence throughout, and language. “ Running time: 125 minutes.

Police backtrack on actor’s killing

Investigators are looking into whether the sexual orientation of “King of the Hill” voice actor Jonathan Joss played a role in his shooting death in Texas, authorities said yesterday, walking back a previous statement about the potential motive.

Joss’ husband has claimed the person who killed the actor yelled “violent homophobic slurs” before opening fire outside his home in San Antonio on Sunday night.

A day after the shooting, San Antonio police issued a statement saying they had found “no evidence whatsoev-

er to indicate that Mr. Joss’ murder was related to his sexual orientation.”

‘Premature’ statement

During a news conference yesterday, San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said the statement was “premature” and that whether Joss’ sexual orientation played a role in the shooting “is part of the investigation.”

“I will own that and simply say again that we simply shouldn’t have done that. It was way too early in the process for any statement of that nature to be issued,” McManus said.

Gunn grads look beyond tests

And ahead to their

new beginnings

BY ADRIANA HERNANDEZ Daily Post Staff Writer

Beyond test scores and grade books, three students at Gunn High School told stories of resilience and recognized new beginnings during yesterday’s graduation.

Student speaker Naomi Wang asked graduates to raise their pinkies in the air to promise not to fear the new beginning ahead of the class of 2025.

“New beginnings are terrifying, but every great ending, every sunset, is only possible because of a sunrise that came before it. Every Oscar win starts with a script, every vaccination invented starts with that first hypothesis, and every marathon finish starts with a first step,” Wang said. “Let’s pinky promise that no matter what age, where you’re at, who you’ve become, you’ll always protect the beginner inside you.”

Wang shared her experience training for her first half marathon a couple of months ago. She said that taking that very first step had always been scary for her, from the first time she stepped foot on campus to stepping foot into her marathon.

“I didn’t feel ready to be a beginner,” Wang said.

A total of 368 graduates walked across the stage on Gunn’s football field yesterday.

Grandma’s advice

Student speaker Gwen Bryant shared a similar experience as she told her class how her grandmother told her she would figure it out when she told her she wasn’t ready.

“That feeling of uncertainty has been a constant companion, and now here we are on the brink of graduation, staring down at the future, and I can’t help but hear that same voice. ‘I am not ready,’” Bryant said.

Bryant, in her speech, acknowledged that it may not just be the graduates who are feeling this way, but parents who didn’t feel ready to see their kids cross the stage yesterday.

“I realize that every challenge, every late-night study session, every unexpected moment, has been preparing us for this day. As I stand here now, I hear my grandmother’s voice, soft but certain, saying, ‘You’ll figure it out.’ Her words became a constant

companion in the moments that I wasn’t sure that I could. And maybe that’s what growing up is, not having the answer, but moving forward,” Byant said.

Failure happens

Student speaker Melinda Huang shared a lesson she learned with her class that failure will come, but how you show up after is what matters.

“The feeling of pouring everything into a pursuit and still falling short. I never understood when people said, ‘Everything happens for a reason.’ But I’m starting to see the truth in that, to trust in myself, to keep moving forward, even when the results don’t come the right way,” Huang said.

Paly’s graduation ‘bananas’

Reminded to not forget their roots

BY BRADEN CARTWRIGHT Daily Post Staff Writer

Palo Alto High School’s graduation ceremony yesterday was “bananas,” if you ask senior Kashi Tuteja.

Tuteja’s obsession with bananas began minutes before a brutal history test his junior year, when one of his friends shoved him a banana and told him to eat it for the brain-energizing potassium.

Tuteja did well on the test, so he started eating a banana before every test, as well as for debate tournaments and on his morning bike rides to school.

After squishing too many banana in his backpack, Tuteja bought a plastic banana case. Then he bought a banana t-shirt.

“When you commit to a bit this hard, you’ve got to see it through,” Tuteja said, taking a bite out of a banana on stage with a second banana duct-taped to his graduation cap.

Tuteja said he “accidentally Pavlov-ed himself” to associate bananas with success.

“But it was never really about the bananas. It was about the people,” Tuteja said. “It was about classmates who laugh at my banana case and shirt, and use that to start a conversation. It was about friends at school who’d bet me to throw the peel in the trash can first try. Ms. Park, who makes fun of the banana I bring every first period but always with a smile.”

Performances

The Paly band and choir performed the national anthem, “America The Beautiful” and the school’s

alma matter song. The band also played “A Whole New World” from “Aladdin,” and the choir sang a hymn, “Will the Circle Be Unbroken.”

Ella Hwang and Rey Kini sang Adele’s “When We Were Young.”

Principal Brent Kline touted the school’s journalism awards, dance team victories and robotics club rankings. He listed all of

the school’s conference championships in several sports.

“You shattered records and built legacies,” Kline told the school’s 458 graduates. Board member Shana Segal gave the graduating class some advice: Don’t forget where you came from, lead with kindness and know that you matter.

“You are loved, and you belong … You are seen, and you are valued,” Segal said before the names were read.
