A Japanese prime minister and several other Japanese officials have apologized for the comfort women in the past, but conservative political activists in Japan are lobbying to retract those apologies. Several Japanese officials have asked Glendale to remove the statue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The battle over the statue runs deeper than legal arguments, said Asian studies expert Tom Plate of Loyola Marymount University. Plate said Japan's culture of “ichiban” — or perfection — makes it difficult for that country to apologize because an “ichiban” country could not have lost World War II.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So it is a source of incredible identity crisis for Japan, that is has lost, and therefore, they feel shamed — the shame that they lost,\" Plate said. “And so when reminders that they lost pop up in front of them, their reaction is very primal. They go into denial, particularly in the older generation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plate said that makes it impossible for Japan to bow down and apologize in the way the Koreans would like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And they want the Japanese to bow so deeply.

Kim said the city was willing to give up some public space for the statue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So many people are unaware of it,” Kim said, “so we thought it was important to raise the public awareness about it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the statue has caused a rift between some in the local Korean and Japanese communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A group of older Japanese-Americans is suing the city in federal court to try to get rid of it. Michiko Gingery, 90, is the lead plaintiff. She says the statue doesn't belong here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Things happened ... during the wartime, between Japan and Korea. And I don't know why they brought such a statue against Japan for this during-the-war story about comfort women,” Gingery said. Any location in the U.S., Gingery added, would be inappropriate for the statue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gingery said the statue ruins relations with Japan the city has established through its sister city program. The program lists Gingery’s hometown of Higashiosaka, Japan, as one of seven sister cities. Goseong and Gimpo, Korea, are also Glendale sister cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit was filed earlier this year by Gingery, a group against recognizing the comfort women, and its president, L.A. resident Koichi Mera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit argues Glendale has infringed upon the federal government's power to conduct foreign affairs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Constitutional law professor Aaron Caplan of Loyola Law School in L.A. does not think that argument will hold up in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The U.S. Constitution says that state and local governments can't enter into treaties,” Caplan said. “It says that they can't make war.

You elect new people to the city council who are going to put up a statue that you think is better.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The story of the comfort women is not well known in the U.S., but it's taught in school in Korea, where Kimberly Choi of Glendale grew up. Choi stops by the statue whenever she gets a chance, to straighten up and water the fresh flowers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Choi said the statue makes sure that the next generation does not forget what happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's hope,\" Choi said. “It's a symbol of peace.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim said the statue brings awareness to a human rights issue. She pointed out that sexual slavery continues today in other parts of the world, making the comfort women statue relevant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No matter ... to whom it happened, where it happened, when it happened, it is important to remember and work together,\" Kim said, adding that is the best way to prevent similar things from happening again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Koreans want a formal apology from Japan's government, issued by their national legislature. A Japanese prime minister and several other Japanese officials have apologized for the comfort women in the past, but conservative political activists in Japan are lobbying to retract those apologies. Several Japanese officials have asked Glendale to remove the statue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The battle over the statue runs deeper than legal arguments, said Asian studies expert Tom Plate of Loyola Marymount University. Plate said Japan's culture of “ichiban” — or perfection — makes it difficult for that country to apologize because an “ichiban” country could not have lost World War II.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So it is a source of incredible identity crisis for Japan, that is has lost, and therefore, they feel shamed — the shame that they lost,\" Plate said. “And so when reminders that they lost pop up in front of them, their reaction is very primal. They go into denial, particularly in the older generation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plate said that makes it impossible for Japan to bow down and apologize in the way the Koreans would like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And they want the Japanese to bow so deeply. Well, if you bow too deeply in Japan, it means you are a subservient of the person you're bowing to,\" Plate said. “You bow deeply to the emperor.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. Congressman Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) recently visited the Glendale statue for the first time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think what Glendale has done here is quite beautiful and moving, and it will provoke people who come to this park to ask about this part of history and hopefully lead to the education of another generation,\" Schiff said. \"That's our best hope of avoiding these kind of terrible chapters in the future.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The story of the comfort women resonates with many immigrants who've come to California with similar stories of survival, Schiff said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Still, the place is cool, with arcade games, rattan '70s-era lamps and a disco ball.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But San Jose Skate on Blossom Hill is closing the doors Saturday, and people want to say goodbye. One woman walked her husband to the rink blindfolded for a surprise date at their old hangout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is the first place Sam Carrington could go without parents. She and about 20 friends held a reunion at the rink.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What happened inside these walls, stayed inside these walls,” Carrington said. “At San Jose Skate, it was the first time my lips touched someone else’s for the purpose of romance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carrington also met her first boyfriend and then her first girlfriend at San Jose Skate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rink opened as Aloha Roller Palace in 1977, and since then it has hosted countless birthday parties and skating lessons. Now it’s slated for redevelopment as a retail space, said Don Imwalle, president of local developer Imwalle Properties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The bottom line is that there are just not a lot of people roller-skating,” he said. “While there are some passionate groups, there are not enough people who are patronizing the business to make it any way viable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For skating groups, the loss of a rink leaves them without a home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ten-year-old Sayer McDonald is a competitive inline skater on the \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/Milpitas-Speed-Team/183193556230\">Milpitas Speed Team\u003c/a>. Her mother drove her to south San Jose three days a week for practice. The team’s old rink was demolished for housing, and now Sayer will have to practice outside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The wind blows, and there can be dog droppings,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose Skate has also been home to \u003ca href=\"http://svrollergirls.com/\">the Silicon Valley Roller Girls\u003c/a> for seven years, which is raising $20,000 to secure a new space. The leagues are saying aloha to the rink by competing in a doubleheader on Saturday. The Silicon Valley Killabytes will take on the \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/FaultlineDerbyDollz\">Faultline Derby Devilz\u003c/a> from Hollister, and the Silicon Valley Dot.Kamikazes will play the \u003ca href=\"http://www.bayareaderbygirls.com/teams/berkeley-resistance\">Bay Area Berkeley Resistance\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Underground Rock Scene\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the mid-2000s, San Jose Skate was also home to the underground music scene. Local bands and big bands played metal and hard-core rock loudly, often featuring lots of blood-curdling, and unintelligible, screaming. However, when San Jose Skate stopped hosting shows in 2008, the scene died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_137685\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/photo-4.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/photo-4-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Andrew Tucker and Matt Mrizek of North of the Woods play at San Jose Skate one last time.

They swung their arms in mosh pits, and the neighbors called the cops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I told my parents I was going to a metal show, they would say, ‘No you’re not,’ ” said Andrew Tucker who went to the shows when he was in high school. “I could just say I’m going to the roller rink.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That crowd is now grown up. Tucker teaches a freshman writing course at San Jose State, where he is also working toward his MFA in creative writing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He and hundreds of folks from the scene showed up to the rink this weekend for a farewell concert series featuring 17 out of 19 bands that reunited just to play one last time at the venue. Some bands even flew in members from other states to practice, and many practiced daily in the week leading up to San Jose Skate’s last breakdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose Skate got them to pick up their guitars and drumsticks again. Tucker’s band, \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/North-of-the-Woods/147807758622609\">North of the Woods\u003c/a>, said that even though the shows now are over, they want to keep playing music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We haven’t played together in four years,” said Matt Mrizek, a guitarist in the band. “The show kind of kick-started us to get back in the swing of things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Andrew Kutsenda, a former general manager, used to organize the shows. Now he runs his own online marketing company. But when he heard about San Jose Skate’s sale, he messaged all the bands and booked the lineup the next day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a place that we’ll talk about for the rest of our lives. A lot of people won’t understand it, a lot of people won’t get it, but what we had here was sacred, too,” Kutsenda said. “We hear crazy stories about guys who, like I said earlier, picked up their first guitar because of a band or like, met their now-wife at San Jose Skate. We’ve heard crazy, crazy stories like that, and it just became ingrained with who we all were.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kutsenda said that it was important to send off the rink with a proper farewell after being such a part of their adolescence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s sad because San Jose Skate’s closing is like the last nail in the scene’s coffin,” Tucker said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Still, the place is cool, with arcade games, rattan '70s-era lamps and a disco ball.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But San Jose Skate on Blossom Hill is closing the doors Saturday, and people want to say goodbye. One woman walked her husband to the rink blindfolded for a surprise date at their old hangout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is the first place Sam Carrington could go without parents. She and about 20 friends held a reunion at the rink.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What happened inside these walls, stayed inside these walls,” Carrington said. “At San Jose Skate, it was the first time my lips touched someone else’s for the purpose of romance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Now it’s slated for redevelopment as a retail space, said Don Imwalle, president of local developer Imwalle Properties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The bottom line is that there are just not a lot of people roller-skating,” he said. “While there are some passionate groups, there are not enough people who are patronizing the business to make it any way viable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For skating groups, the loss of a rink leaves them without a home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ten-year-old Sayer McDonald is a competitive inline skater on the \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/Milpitas-Speed-Team/183193556230\">Milpitas Speed Team\u003c/a>.

The leagues are saying aloha to the rink by competing in a doubleheader on Saturday.

Local bands and big bands played metal and hard-core rock loudly, often featuring lots of blood-curdling, and unintelligible, screaming. However, when San Jose Skate stopped hosting shows in 2008, the scene died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_137685\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/photo-4.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/photo-4-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Andrew Tucker and Matt Mrizek of North of the Woods play at San Jose Skate one last time.

They swung their arms in mosh pits, and the neighbors called the cops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I told my parents I was going to a metal show, they would say, ‘No you’re not,’ ” said Andrew Tucker who went to the shows when he was in high school. “I could just say I’m going to the roller rink.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That crowd is now grown up. Tucker teaches a freshman writing course at San Jose State, where he is also working toward his MFA in creative writing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He and hundreds of folks from the scene showed up to the rink this weekend for a farewell concert series featuring 17 out of 19 bands that reunited just to play one last time at the venue. Some bands even flew in members from other states to practice, and many practiced daily in the week leading up to San Jose Skate’s last breakdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose Skate got them to pick up their guitars and drumsticks again. Tucker’s band, \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/North-of-the-Woods/147807758622609\">North of the Woods\u003c/a>, said that even though the shows now are over, they want to keep playing music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We haven’t played together in four years,” said Matt Mrizek, a guitarist in the band. “The show kind of kick-started us to get back in the swing of things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Andrew Kutsenda, a former general manager, used to organize the shows. Now he runs his own online marketing company. But when he heard about San Jose Skate’s sale, he messaged all the bands and booked the lineup the next day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a place that we’ll talk about for the rest of our lives. A lot of people won’t understand it, a lot of people won’t get it, but what we had here was sacred, too,” Kutsenda said. “We hear crazy stories about guys who, like I said earlier, picked up their first guitar because of a band or like, met their now-wife at San Jose Skate. We’ve heard crazy, crazy stories like that, and it just became ingrained with who we all were.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kutsenda said that it was important to send off the rink with a proper farewell after being such a part of their adolescence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s sad because San Jose Skate’s closing is like the last nail in the scene’s coffin,” Tucker said.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>By Olivia Allen-Price and Dan Brekke\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When veteran KQED journalist Belva Davis bowed out of her longtime post as host of \"This Week in Northern California\" 18 months ago, she asked her longtime friend Maya Angelou to sum up the importance of enduring relationships and friendship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis visited Angelou, then 84, at her home in North Carolina. She talked about the literature that mattered most to her, from Shakespeare to Amiri Baraka, and recapped her career as entertainer, novelist, poet and cultural inspiration. That arc brought her at one point to KQED, where in 1968 she wrote, produced and narrated a documentary series called \"Blacks, Blues, Black!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the Associated Press recounts, San Francisco was an important part of Angelou's early life, too:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Her very name as an adult was a reinvention. Angelou was born Marguerite Johnson in St. Louis and raised in Stamps, Arkansas, and San Francisco, moving back and forth between her parents and her grandmother. She was smart and fresh to the point of danger, packed off by her family to California after sassing a white store clerk in Arkansas. Other times, she didn't speak at all: At age 7, she was raped by her mother's boyfriend and didn't talk for years. She learned by reading, and listening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>...At age 9, she was writing poetry. By 17, she was a single mother. In her early 20s, she danced at a strip joint, ran a brothel, was married, and then divorced. But by her mid-20s, she was performing at the Purple Onion in San Francisco, where she shared billing with another future star, Phyllis Diller. She also spent a few days with Billie Holiday, who was kind enough to sing a lullaby to Angelou's son, Guy, surly enough to heckle her off the stage and astute enough to tell her: \"You're going to be famous. But it won't be for singing.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>WNYC (yes, a New York public media outlet beating us to the punch) relates Angelou's story of being the city's first African-American streetcar conductor:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Angelou ... also has a place in civil rights transportation history: At the age of 16, she said she became San Francisco's first black streetcar conductor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, she said \"I loved the uniforms. So I said, 'That's the job I want!' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when she applied for the job, at first the office wouldn't give her an application. On the advice of her mother, she essentially staged a sit-in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I sat there (at the office) for two weeks, every day.

She talked about the literature that mattered most to her, from Shakespeare to Amiri Baraka, and recapped her career as entertainer, novelist, poet and cultural inspiration. That arc brought her at one point to KQED, where in 1968 she wrote, produced and narrated a documentary series called \"Blacks, Blues, Black!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the Associated Press recounts, San Francisco was an important part of Angelou's early life, too:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Her very name as an adult was a reinvention. Angelou was born Marguerite Johnson in St. Louis and raised in Stamps, Arkansas, and San Francisco, moving back and forth between her parents and her grandmother. She was smart and fresh to the point of danger, packed off by her family to California after sassing a white store clerk in Arkansas. Other times, she didn't speak at all: At age 7, she was raped by her mother's boyfriend and didn't talk for years. She learned by reading, and listening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>...At age 9, she was writing poetry. By 17, she was a single mother. In her early 20s, she danced at a strip joint, ran a brothel, was married, and then divorced. But by her mid-20s, she was performing at the Purple Onion in San Francisco, where she shared billing with another future star, Phyllis Diller. She also spent a few days with Billie Holiday, who was kind enough to sing a lullaby to Angelou's son, Guy, surly enough to heckle her off the stage and astute enough to tell her: \"You're going to be famous. But it won't be for singing.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>WNYC (yes, a New York public media outlet beating us to the punch) relates Angelou's story of being the city's first African-American streetcar conductor:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Angelou ... also has a place in civil rights transportation history: At the age of 16, she said she became San Francisco's first black streetcar conductor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, she said \"I loved the uniforms. So I said, 'That's the job I want!' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when she applied for the job, at first the office wouldn't give her an application. On the advice of her mother, she essentially staged a sit-in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I sat there (at the office) for two weeks, every day. And then after two weeks, a man came out of his office and said, 'Come here.' And he asked me 'why do you want the job?' I said, 'I like the uniforms.' And I said, 'And I like people.' And so I got the job.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>That would have been around 1944. Angela also told Winfrey that her mother kept a watchful eye on the brand-new streetcar conductor when she began her first run every morning:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>She would drive me out to the beach, and she would have her pistol on the seat of the car, and she would follow the streetcar all the way from the beach to the Ferry Building, right through San Francisco, and back again out to the beach, until daybreak. I mean, stayed close so that nobody got on that she didn't see. ...\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Muni said last year that \"anecdotal evidence we’ve gathered over the years indicate several African-Americans found employment on the streetcars a little earlier than Dr. Angelou,\" but added that that didn't diminish the 16-year-old's accomplishment in getting the job.

And this approach is getting some attention. Earlier this month, a Chicago-based philanthropist tapped AHA to help establish a national curriculum for social and emotional learning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a whole set of skills that allows somebody to become a really good relationship person which is now proven to be the skill set needed in all facets of life,” Freed explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Skills like managing moods, self-awareness, self-motivation, empathy, and compassion--skills Joseph Ortiz was lacking when he first started the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I had a bad attitude to everything,” Ortiz says. “I just had a lot of anger and no outlet, ‘cause guys are supposed to be super tough and everything and can’t talk about your emotions.

Bosh! It means grasshopper soup, the favorite dish of the digger tribe — and of the Pi-utes as well.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cruz said Washoes dislike being referred to as the \"digger tribe,\" a derogatory term applied to some tribes in the West who dug roots for food. Other tribes ate grasshoppers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Samuel Clemens had racist views on the native people of this country and has captured those views in his literature,\" Cruz wrote in a letter to the board. \"Therefore, we cannot support the notion of giving a place name in Lake Tahoe to Samuel Clemens.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But James Hulse, history professor emeritus at the University of Nevada, Reno, said it's irrelevant whether Twain's writings were insulting to Native Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cove should be named for Twain because he praised Tahoe's beauty while visiting the lake in 1861-1862, and he became one of America's most beloved authors after assuming his pen name as a Nevada newspaper reporter around the same time, Hulse said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In his early days, (Twain's) ironic-comic mode was insulting to everyone, including governors, legislators, mine bosses and journalistic colleagues,\" he told the board. \"He learned and overcame his prejudices far better than most of his contemporaries and successors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thomas Quirk, an English professor emeritus at the University of Missouri and leading Twain scholar, said the author eventually overcame his racism against blacks. But Quirk said he has found no evidence that he significantly changed his views on American Indians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twain did not embrace the idea of idolizing what he called the \"noble red man,\" Quirk said, and poked fun at writer James Fenimore Cooper for doing so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When it comes to African Americans, he was ahead of his time substantially,\" he said. \"When it comes to Native Americans, his record is not very good. If he were alive today, he would sing a different tune.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Board member Robert Stewart, who initiated the plan to name the cove for Clemens, said it's unlikely it would resurface.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he dropped his support of it, even though he learned about a later letter Twain wrote objecting to the treatment of tribes in Arizona and New Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have a great deal of respect for the Washoe Tribe.

Bosh! It means grasshopper soup, the favorite dish of the digger tribe — and of the Pi-utes as well.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cruz said Washoes dislike being referred to as the \"digger tribe,\" a derogatory term applied to some tribes in the West who dug roots for food. Other tribes ate grasshoppers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Samuel Clemens had racist views on the native people of this country and has captured those views in his literature,\" Cruz wrote in a letter to the board. \"Therefore, we cannot support the notion of giving a place name in Lake Tahoe to Samuel Clemens.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But James Hulse, history professor emeritus at the University of Nevada, Reno, said it's irrelevant whether Twain's writings were insulting to Native Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cove should be named for Twain because he praised Tahoe's beauty while visiting the lake in 1861-1862, and he became one of America's most beloved authors after assuming his pen name as a Nevada newspaper reporter around the same time, Hulse said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In his early days, (Twain's) ironic-comic mode was insulting to everyone, including governors, legislators, mine bosses and journalistic colleagues,\" he told the board. \"He learned and overcame his prejudices far better than most of his contemporaries and successors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thomas Quirk, an English professor emeritus at the University of Missouri and leading Twain scholar, said the author eventually overcame his racism against blacks. But Quirk said he has found no evidence that he significantly changed his views on American Indians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twain did not embrace the idea of idolizing what he called the \"noble red man,\" Quirk said, and poked fun at writer James Fenimore Cooper for doing so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When it comes to African Americans, he was ahead of his time substantially,\" he said. \"When it comes to Native Americans, his record is not very good. If he were alive today, he would sing a different tune.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Board member Robert Stewart, who initiated the plan to name the cove for Clemens, said it's unlikely it would resurface.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he dropped his support of it, even though he learned about a later letter Twain wrote objecting to the treatment of tribes in Arizona and New Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have a great deal of respect for the Washoe Tribe. And if their cultural committee is unhappy with naming the cove for Mark Twain, I'm not going to fight them,\" Stewart said. \"We need to show sensitivity to the tribe.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stewart said he still believes the cove near Incline Village is where Twain camped and accidentally started a wildfire while preparing to cook dinner in September 1861.
