The new felony charge against Ricardo Perez is the most serious charge filed against law officers involved with Jasmine Abuslin, also known as Celeste Guap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perez previously had been charged with one felony count of oral copulation with a minor and two misdemeanor counts of lewd conduct in public with Abuslin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda County District Attorney's Office spokeswoman Rebecca Richardson acknowledged in an email Wednesday that \"new evidence came to light\" to support the more serious felony charge, filed Aug. 4, but refused to comment further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abuslin, now 19, testified against Perez in a preliminary hearing \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/07/29/former-contra-costa-sheriffs-deputy-to-stand-trial-in-sexual-exploitation-case/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">last month\u003c/a>. She told the court that she had met the former sheriff's deputy for sex numerous times in July 2015 when she was 17 years old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She testified that she didn't tell Perez that she was underage until several months later, after she turned 18.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do not remember his words but I remember his attitude,\" Abuslin said of Perez when she told him she had been underage when they had sex. \"It was like ‘whatever.' He did not seem shocked.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perez’s attorney, Joseph Motta, argued that his client didn’t know that Abuslin was underage, but retired Judge Joan Cartwright, who presided over the July 27 hearing, disagreed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She was clearly 17 years old when this was occurring,” Cartwright said from the bench.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Perez’s conduct was raunchy and certainly bordering on pornographic activities,\" said noted civil rights attorney John Burris, who is representing Abuslin in her civil claims for damages. \"He -- as an adult human being -- should’ve known better.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Six law enforcement officials have been charged with lesser crimes in connection with the broader case involving Abuslin’s relationships with officers from Oakland, Livermore, Richmond and San Francisco, as well as Alameda and Contra Costa County sheriff’s deputies, according to legal claims filed against those jurisdictions. The case also involves a former guard for a military equipment facility in Stockton who was fired late last year for soliciting sex and prostitution work from Abuslin after the case became public last summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perez resigned from the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Department shortly after the scandal emerged. He is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday in Alameda County Superior Court in Dublin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's Alex Emslie contributed reporting to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The original version of this report misidentified the judge presiding over the July 27 preliminary hearing in this case. It has been corrected to attribute retired Judge Joan Cartwright.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cp>Zyanya Cazares, a sixth-grade teacher who is starting a new assignment this fall teaching in a bilingual education program in Los Angeles, grew up speaking Spanish. But she was recently reminded that the casual, conversational Spanish she spoke at home is not the same as the formal form of the language she's now being asked to teach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a Chicana, it’s very easy to say, ‘Oh I know how to say that word in Spanish, you just add an 'o' at the end,’ ” Cazares said. “But that’s not academic Spanish, and we’re in an academic setting -- so I definitely have to prepare to learn the real word of how to say it academically.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cazares was one of a dozen current and aspiring bilingual education teachers who gathered at California State University Dominguez Hills to learn about the latest teaching methods and also, for many teachers like Cazares, to fill in gaps in their language skills.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'One of our goals is to empower teachers, to create a space where they can use their heritage language to express themselves and to grow.'\u003ccite>Professor Lilia Sarmiento\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>More often than not, many educators say, bilingual education teachers’ grasp of academic language in their second language trails that of their academic language in English. Experts in bilingual education say improving those skills will be essential as school districts open new programs after California voters lifted restrictions on dual-language programs last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Principals tell us, we know that the content is important, what they need to teach, but send us teachers [who] speak Spanish well,” said Lilia Sarmiento, a professor of education at Cal State Dominguez Hills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>L.A. Unified is leading the pack of school districts in the state opening new bilingual education programs. It’s opening 16 programs this coming academic year, bringing the total to 101 bilingual programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second language of the vast majority of bilingual programs in California public schools is Spanish. A smaller number are in Chinese, French and other languages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"http://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/tcr/2017/08/170809ctcr.mp3\" Image=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/BilingualEd-1020x681.jpg\" Title=\"As California Bilingual Education Grows, Teacher Training Is Key\" program=\"The California Report\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sarmiento helped start the \u003ca href=\"http://csudhelcongreso.weebly.com/\">two-week summer training for bilingual teachers\u003c/a> in which Cazares enrolled. During the second-to-last class session, CSU Dominguez Hills professor Heather Kertyzia talked to them about how to defuse tension with students through the use of nonviolent language in the classroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He can’t be independent at home because there are -- what’s the word I’m looking for -- physical punishments,” she said in Spanish, talking about why students act up in class. Kertyzia is not a fluent Spanish speaker; she learned the language in college and while living in Colombia. Despite incorrect grammar here and there, the message about the lesson remains clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cazares noticed that and said it’s helped calm her nerves about starting her new teaching post.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Through this class I’ve noticed that it’s empowering to engage the students in the, ‘Well how do we say this word,’ or 'It’s OK not to know how to say every word,'” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her notebook is full of terms and concepts in Spanish she’ll be using on day one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“\u003cem>Charlas\u003c/em>, is like chats, or talking.

Besides their teaching credential, bilingual education teachers must have additional training. Some educators say the preparation currently required by the state isn’t enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of our goals is to empower teachers, to create a space where they can use their heritage language to express themselves and to grow, not only professionally but personally,” Sarmiento said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Educators say these kinds of teachers will be snapped up by school districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a current shortage and the shortage is almost going to double, with the new programs that the districts are predicting and expanding of the current programs that they have,” said Shelly Spiegel-Coleman, a longtime bilingual education advocate and executive director of \u003ca href=\"https://www.californianstogether.org/bilingual-teacher-shortage-requires-immediate-action-study-shows-that-bilingual-teachers-exist-but-they-require-professional-development/\">Californians Together.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The success of new programs will depend on how well trained teachers are. Spiegel-Coleman successfully lobbied Gov. Jerry Brown to create grants to train bilingual ed teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are hundreds of teachers with bilingual education training who have been in English classrooms for years, so their skills are rusty, Spiegel-Coleman says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the source that we think is most easily tapped to staff the programs, but we really need the universities, and we need the recruitment. We really need to think about building the pipeline,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that pipeline, she said, should include the product of current bilingual programs: the thousands of California high school seniors who are graduating with seals of biliteracy on their diplomas.\u003c/p>\n\n",

We really need to think about building the pipeline,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that pipeline, she said, should include the product of current bilingual programs: the thousands of California high school seniors who are graduating with seals of biliteracy on their diplomas.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

On Feb. 11, for the first time in the dam's history, water began pouring over a 1,700-foot-long weir adjacent to the concrete chute and down the hill designated as the dam's emergency spillway. Less than 30 hours later, on the afternoon of Feb. 12, uphill erosion of the type dismissed by the 2014 PFMA had scoured channels as much as 50 feet deep and appeared to be threatening the stability of the weir. The fear of a collapse, which would unleash a catastrophic flood down the Feather River, prompted the emergency evacuation of Oroville and other riverside communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That uncontrolled flow in February peaked at about 12,500 cubic feet per second, just a tiny fraction of the 350,000 cubic feet -- about 2.6 million gallons -- per second it was supposed to handle.

On Feb. 11, for the first time in the dam's history, water began pouring over a 1,700-foot-long weir adjacent to the concrete chute and down the hill designated as the dam's emergency spillway. Less than 30 hours later, on the afternoon of Feb. 12, uphill erosion of the type dismissed by the 2014 PFMA had scoured channels as much as 50 feet deep and appeared to be threatening the stability of the weir. The fear of a collapse, which would unleash a catastrophic flood down the Feather River, prompted the emergency evacuation of Oroville and other riverside communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That uncontrolled flow in February peaked at about 12,500 cubic feet per second, just a tiny fraction of the 350,000 cubic feet -- about 2.6 million gallons -- per second it was supposed to handle. (The regulated \u003ca href=\"http://www.lre.usace.army.mil/Missions/Great-Lakes-Information/Outflows/Discharge-Measurements/Niagara-River/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">flow over Niagara Falls\u003c/a>, by comparison, is 100,000 cfs during \"tourist\" hours.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That theoretical maximum flow over Oroville's emergency weir represented what might happen in a worst-case flood scenario, when both spillways would have a single purpose: preventing water from flowing over the top of Oroville Dam, an event that could lead to the structure's collapse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Water Resources and FERC had insisted for more than a decade prior to the February emergency -- and through three separate potential failure mode analyses -- that even under the duress of extremely high flows racing down the tree- and brush-covered slope, erosion would be limited to just 1 to 4 feet of surface material.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Erin Mellon, the DWR spokeswoman, on Monday repeated earlier department statements that it's up to an independent forensics team -- appointed in March at FERC's direction -- to analyze the causes of the spillway failure. She didn't respond to a question about why DWR's understanding of the conditions underlying the spillways was so different from actual conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal Energy Regulatory Commission spokeswoman Celeste Miller said that a \"panel of expert consultants\" is reviewing the history and performance of the agency's safety program, including past potential failure analyses, for Oroville Dam. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Need for Re-evaluation?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin McCann, an adjunct professor at Stanford’s College of Civil and Environmental Engineering and director of the college’s \u003ca href=\"http://npdp.stanford.edu/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">National Performance of Dams Program\u003c/a>, says the Oroville episode shows a re-evaluation of the way potential failure mode analyses are done may be in order. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In light of the two regulatory bodies and a responsible owner being involved in the PFMA process, we've got to ask ourselves, 'Are we getting it right?'\" McCann said in an interview. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This stuff is not easy -- it really is quite difficult,\" he said. \"It takes expertise, it takes experience, it takes interpretation and evaluation on the part of experts, and that's very hard. Perhaps the process needs to be re-examined.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11610666\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/KG_oroville_4296_07_21_2017.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11610666\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/KG_oroville_4296_07_21_2017-800x511.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"511\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/KG_oroville_4296_07_21_2017-800x511.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/KG_oroville_4296_07_21_2017-160x102.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/KG_oroville_4296_07_21_2017-1020x652.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/KG_oroville_4296_07_21_2017-1920x1226.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/KG_oroville_4296_07_21_2017-1180x754.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/KG_oroville_4296_07_21_2017-960x613.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/KG_oroville_4296_07_21_2017-240x153.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/KG_oroville_4296_07_21_2017-375x240.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/KG_oroville_4296_07_21_2017-520x332.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">July construction activity below Oroville Dam's emergency weir.

The Virtual Museum of San Francisco \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfmuseum.net/hist/timeline.html\">quotes an ad from 1906\u003c/a>, bemoaning the fact that Japanese and Chinese residents were moving into neighborhoods and saying, \"There is only one spot in San Francisco where only Caucasians are permitted to buy or lease real estate or where they may reside. That place is Presidio Terrace.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Presidio Terrace, along with many other wealthy neighborhoods, continued to prohibit ownership by nonwhites until 1948, the \u003cem>Chronicle\u003c/em> notes. That year, the Supreme Court blocked such racial covenants from being enforced. (Some neighborhoods tried to uphold their racial covenants even after they were illegal; member station WAMU has \u003ca href=\"http://wamu.org/story/14/01/17/how_racial_covenants_shaped_dc_neighborhoods/\">reported on\u003c/a> an example in Washington, D.C.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These days, Presidio Terrace is \u003ca href=\"http://sfist.com/2007/06/06/sfist_photo_presdio_terrace_sfs_gated_community.php\">gated and guarded\u003c/a>.

Or, well, a lot of $14 bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The homeowners association says in the lawsuit that, based on city records, \"the property taxes on the Common Area have been less than $14.00 annually for the past several years.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The taxes weren't paid for \"many years,\" the association says, because the city was sending the bills to an address \"associated with an accountant who last performed work for the Association in the 1980s.\" A warning that the account was in default, owing $994.77, was sent to the same address. It, too, went unnoticed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few months later, the street was auctioned off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Incidentally, are you wondering how much each resident paid to that HOA? \u003ca href=\"https://sf.curbed.com/2013/10/21/10184914/presidio-terrace-trophy-property-takes-245k-off-its-price\">Based\u003c/a> on \u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/ontheblock/2013/04/01/former-mayor-alioto-mansion-in-presidio-terrace-hits-the-mls/\">news reports\u003c/a>, it's well north of $500 a month.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city should have known the address was wrong, the residents say.
