REPUBLICANS ROLLS OUT ROADMAP AMID PARTY DIVISIONS

A Central Valley farmer is suing
the California High-Speed Rail
Authority for breaking its promise
to voters by committing Proposition
1A bond money for the so-called
blended system on the Peninsula.
Hanford farmer Jon Tos, Aaron
Fukuda and Kings County filed
briefs and declarations Friday for a
trial set to begin May 31 in
Sacramento County Superior Court.
They are being represented by
local attorney Mike Brady, who has
sued the authority repeatedly for
years, particularly for having the rail
alignment go over the Pacheco Pass
to Gilroy and then up to San Jose.
The plaintiffs argue that the rail
authority is attempting to justify
spending about $6 billion of federal
and state funds on the speculative
assumption that the future will bring
more funds, which is not what vot-
ers were promised, nor was the
Legislatures intent, according to the
complaint.
The authoritys ofcially adopted
blended system also uses existing
rail transit at the bookends near Los
Angeles and San Francisco that is
not authorized by Proposition 1A,

By this summer, almost all cities
in San Mateo County will have
adopted a reusable bag ordinance,
banning plastic bags at most retail
stores.
Many small markets in San
Bruno, including Los Primos
Produce and Grocery, are already
displaying the informational signs
provided by the city to inform shop-
pers of the change.
Im actually in favor of it, said
manager Elisia Guzman, who thinks
customers will start bringing in their
own bags once the ordinance takes
effect in San Bruno on April 22,
Earth Day.
The store wastes money by allow-
ing people to request multiple plas-
tic bags for very small items, said
Guzman.

Trustees of the San Mateo County
Community College District could
be chosen through a district election
later this year a change from the
at-large system currently in place.
The districts ve trustees are cur-
rently elected by voters countywide
but there has been recent attention
given to the process including a
recently settled lawsuit against the
county for its own at-large rather
than district supervisorial elections.
Previously, the district was
advised by state chancellors to look
at the way local elections are set up.
In recent months, the board held
public hearings on the matter and
offered a 90-day comment period on
the proposed boundaries. On

Speeding Iowa dad ignores
police with baby coming
IOWA CITY, Iowa An Iowa man
who was pulled over for speeding as he
rushed his pregnant wife to the hospital
said he was determined to keep going
despite the police lights ashing behind
him.
Tyler Rathjen planned to keep going
as his wife, Ashley, began giving birth to
their son in the passenger seat. But a red
light with heavy trafc nally forced
him to stop.
I should not stop, Im not going to,
Im going to get to the hospital, Tyler
Rathjen recalled thinking in an interview
with Cedar Rapids TV station KCRG.
The babys head and arms were
already out by the time Iowa City
Ofcer Kevin Wolfe reached the passen-
ger door.
We were all having a different expe-
rience, Wolfe said.
Ashley Rathjen gave birth to her third
son, Owen, just blocks from Mercy Iowa
City hospital on March 10.
I kept saying: theres no break (in
contractions) theres no break, she said.
He was coming at that time.
Wolfe helped with the nal steps of
delivery and then escorted the
Williamsburg family to the hospital. His
dashboard camera captured the episode.
Owen is now home with his parents
and two brothers.
Ashley Rathjen said her newborn son
will probably retell the story for years to
come.

man.
Police say they searched the vehicle

and touched a great number of people socially
and professionally. Don and Nancy enjoyed their
second home at Silverado Country Club for 32 years, where they made many
special friendships. Dons interests included tennis, annual trips to Maui, and
collecting classic cars.
Don loved his family above all else in life. He is survived by Nancy, his beloved
wife of 60 years; his much-loved children; son and daughter-in-law Jeff and
Suzanne Tateosian of Burlingame; daughter and son-in-law Joni and Michael
Amaroli of Hillsborough; and four treasured grandchildren Nic and Kevin

The Japanese diplomat accused of abusing
his wife with a string of assaults, including
stabbing her in the hand with a small screw-
driver and pushing her from a car, was sen-
tenced Monday to a year in jail on two
felony charges of domestic violence.
Yoshiaki Nagaya, 33, will serve about six
months and must surrender to the jail May 4.
He was also given three years probation and
104 hours of domestic violence counseling.
He was originally charged with more than
a dozen counts of domestic violence for
injuries his wife, Yuka, documented in pho-
tographs but a judge dropped one after a pre-
liminary hearing and prosecutors dismissed
the rest as part of the plea deal reached in
December.
Nagaya was on his way toward a trial and
the possibility of up to 20 years in prison
when he abruptly pleaded no contest in
return for no more than a year in jail. One
count stemmed from a May 3, 2011 incident
in which he bruised her arm and another
incident in which he bruised her left thigh.
Both the prosecution and Judge Craig
Parsons agreed Nagaya appeared only
remorseful when he was arrested, not for the
actual conduct, said Chief Deputy District
Attorney Karen Guidotti.
Despite the no contest plea, defense attor-
ney Gerrick Lew said in a prepared state-
ment after sentencing that the couple had a
mutually abusive rela-
tionship. He said Yuka
Nagayas testimony at the
preliminary hearing and
statements to police were
inconsistent which put
in question whether
events ... occurred at all.
He had argued for a 90-
day sentence instead.
Nagaya is the vice con-
sul at the Japanese con-
sulate in San Francisco but he and his wife
moved to San Bruno. The case drew
Japanese media to San Mateo County and
saw several bizarre moments during a five-
day preliminary hearing last fall, including
the abrupt quitting of one translator who
said he was too tired to continue and Yuka
Nagaya trying to secretly record her testimo-
ny for a civil personal injury lawsuit against
her husband. Consulate members were also
chastised by the judge not to intimidate Yuka
Nagaya during her testimony which
stretched over multiple days because of
translation issues, claims she couldnt recall
incidents and lengthy cross-examination.
Yuka Nagaya testified that the couple,
who had married in April 2010, often quar-
reled over suspicions he was having a rela-
tionship with a fellow consul employee. The
alleged abuse began when they lived in San
Francisco and continued after they moved to
San Bruno. She said between January 2011
and March 31, 2012, the incidents included
hitting her over the head with a laptop, stab-
bing her hand with a miniature screwdriver,
pouring milk over her head and striking her
face so hard she later lost a tooth. A judge
later dismissed the tooth allegation. San
Bruno police arrested Yoshiaki Nagaya April
1 after she said he threw her from a car in the
parking lot of their San Bruno apartment.
Yuka Nagaya said after one incident she
fled their apartment barefoot in the middle
of the night out of fear but, after crying in
the stairwell, returned because she also
found it frightening to be alone in a foreign
country. She also testified she did not call
police because thats not how people in
Japan handle domestic disputes.
During the preliminary hearing, prosecu-
tors presented photographs Yuka Nagaya
took of the injuries.
Yoshiaki Nagaya has been free from cus-
tody on $350,000 cash bail and remains
employed with the consulate in San
Francisco.
He must also return to court April 25 for a
restitution hearing. His wife submitted a
request for nearly $200,000 but provided no
documentation, Guidotti said.

State bill would set new
standards for drop-in child care
A bill introduced Friday would set new
licensing and care standards for drop-in day-
care centers at facilities like malls, stores
and gyms.
State Sen. Leland Yee, D-San
Francisco/San Mateo, said such centers are
currently not even required to be licensed or
meet basic standards of operation.
Senate Bill 766 would require facilities to
establish health and safety standards and
protocol and inform parents and staff of the
protocols; ensure the presence at all times of
at least one person on staff with pediatric
first aid and CPR training; require all staff
members over the age of 18 to have back-
ground checks and require that at least one
staff member be over the age of 18; and
require facilities to maintain a ratio of no
more than 10 children ages 6 and below to
each care provider, and 15 children 7 and
above to each care provider.
The bill was inspired in part by a recent
legal battle between a fitness center and a
family after a boy in the care of the gyms
child-care center was injured, according to
Yee.
Parents deserve some peace of mind
when their children are in the hands of these
ancillary child-care providers, Yee said.
SB766 will establish some basic standards
and help ensure kids are safe.
Redwood City man arrested for
widespread elder fraud
Police arrested James Keeton, 62, at his
Redwood City home Monday morning on a
felony warrant and charged him with 13
counts of felony theft by false pretenses and
elder abuse-theft by fraud after a three-year
investigation.
According to Redwood City police,
Keeton had a consistent pattern of befriend-
ing elderly victims and borrowing money
under false pretenses. He made no attempt to
repay them and would cut off communica-
tion after obtaining their money.
He would meet victims through religious
institutions and social clubs, according to
police. He was arrested at approximately 9
a.m. at his home on the 2200 block of
Roosevelt Avenue and was taken into cus-
tody through a coordinated investigation
between the Redwood City Police
Department, the San Mateo County District
Attorneys Office, the Burlingame Police
Department and the San Mateo County
Sheriffs Office.
Anyone with information about Keeton is
encouraged to contact Detective Josh
Chilton at 780-7141.

In an effort to set a foundation for future
survival and growth, SamTrans is ne-tuning
a new service plan that calls for the modica-
tion of several routes in the area and the elim-
ination of three others.
Saved from elimination, however, are bus
routes 132 and 118 after SamTrans engaged
in months of public outreach. Route 132 will
continue to serve primarily South San
Francisco and 118 will continue its route from
the Colma BART station into Pacica.
The transit agency started to take an in-
depth look at how to improve its service about
two years ago and hopes to have a new serv-
ice plan in place by May 1.
The three routes proposed for elimination
are the 123, 280 and 359. The 123 serves the
Colma BART station, Skyline College and
parts of San Bruno and South San Francisco.
The 280 serves the Palo Alto Caltrain station
and East Palo Alto and the 359 serves the
Millbrae BART station and parts of San
Mateo and Foster City.
The 280 is proposed for elimination but we
are going to work with East Palo Alto to
improve its shuttle service coverage of that
area before removing that route, so the resi-
dents using that service will not go without
coverage, SamTrans spokeswoman Jayme
Ackemann wrote the Daily Journal in an
email yesterday.
The agency is holding public meetings the
remainder of the month to solicit comments
on the draft service plan before a public hear-
ing will be held April 3. The plan is scheduled
for adoption May 1.
It has been more than a decade since
SamTrans reevaluated its services and hous-
ing and employment in the county has
changed dramatically since the last system
overhaul was conducted in 1999.
It was vitally important that SamTrans
evaluate the health of the system, particularly
given the nancial challenges the agency con-
tinues to face, Mark Simon, executive ofcer
for public affairs wrote in a statement. But a
study like this cant be done in a vacuum. We
have taken signicant time to ensure we col-
lected extensive public feedback and we think
we have a better plan because of it.
The nal draft recommendations include
changes made as a direct response to some of
the key areas of concern that came up during
the public outreach process.
Particularly, North County riders expressed
concern over the proposed elimination of off-
peak and weekend San Francisco service on
the 292. Staff evaluated those comments and
now recommends that service be retained on
the route.
In Foster City, changes in ridership patterns
on Route 251 since the time the original study
was conducted led riders to urge SamTrans to
reevaluate the proposal to eliminate service to
the Beach Park area. Staff now recommends
that service be retained as well.
The draft plan also proposes to add two new
routes, the 252 and 275, that would serve
Burlingame, San Mateo and Redwood City to
provide more east-west connectivity to El
Camino Real.
The proposed changes could add an addi-
tional 1,000 riders a day or 310,000 riders
annually, according to the draft service plan.
Debt obligations, an unresolved structural
deficit and declining ridership pushed
SamTrans to develop a plan to boost ridership
and to make the countys public bus service
more efcient.
Its debt service requirement this year is
$24.4 million, with $12.7 million going to pay
down the debt related to the BART airport
extension.
It operates 48 bus routes in San Mateo
County but just four handle nearly half of the
transit agencys weekday ridership.
SamTrans has a weekday average ridership
of about 45,000 a day but 45 percent of the
riders travel on just four routes: the 120, 292,
390 and 391.
Those four routes are the least costly for
SamTrans to run while some local routes,
such as the 72 in Redwood City, cost the tran-
sit agency nearly $15 per rider.

LOCAL/STATE
By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE Our
countrys economic
roller-coaster ride
has been interesting
and historic for
sure, but also very
troubling for many
families whove not
been as financially stable as others.
Recently though Ive been observing a
phenomenon with those we serve at the
CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS. It may
be too early to confirm, but it appears that
there is a general state of confidence with
many families, along with the decisions and
choices they make during funeral
arrangements. Yes, I know you are thinking
that confidence is not a term you would
use to coincide with funeral arrangements,
but it appears to me that people I see are
tending to be more financially assured than
during the deepest years of The Great
Recession.
They say that the two things you cant
avoid are death and taxes. With that in
mind, during the economic downturn I saw a
very noticeable sense of thrift and
prudence with a lot of families who
experienced a death during that period.
Still, those who tended to cost shop at
various funeral homes selected CHAPEL
OF THE HIGHLANDS to handle funeral or
cremation arrangements. These families
found comfort with our service, and notably
with our more economic cost structure.
Now, lately the trend with families and
their funeral choices reminds me of the days
way before the recession hit. Its not that
people are utilizing their funds differently,
spending more or spending less, but that
they are more assertive and confident when
using their wallet. Seeing this over and over
gives me a good indication that something in
the economic climate is changing compared
to not that long ago.
Even though many of our honorable
elected officials in Sacramento and
Washington D.C. appear to be as inflexible
with economic issues as always, the air of
confidence with the families Ive been
dealing with means to me that these people
are feeling less pressured financially.
It is well known that when businesses do
well they hire more employees, and when
those employees are confident they will
spend their money on goods and services.
In turn, the companies that provide goods
and services will need competent employees
to create more goods, give more services,
and so onmaking a positive circle for a
healthy economy. In relation to that, after a
long period of U.S. manufacturing jobs
being sent over-seas there is news of a
growing number of companies bringing this
work back to the United States. Real Estate
values on the Peninsula remained in a good
state during the recession, but houses here
are now in demand more than ever.
Encouraging Hopeful and Positive
are words to describe the optimistic
vibrations that people are giving off. If the
community is becoming more comfortable
with spending, that indicates good health for
business and the enrichment of our
economic atmosphere. I hope Im right, so
lets all keep our fingers crossed.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A San Bruno man accused of sex-
ually abusing a young relative for
seven years and later told police he
had a fondness for 12-year-old boys
was sentenced to nearly 27 years in
prison.
Noe Rojas-Alvarez, 33, was sched-
uled for trial Monday but instead
accepted a plea deal on multiple
counts of sexual abuse and child
molestation and possession of child
pornography. He was immediately
sentenced to 26 years and eight
months in prison of which he must
serve 85 percent before parole eligi-
bility and is required to register as a
sex offender for life.
Prosecutors say between 2004 and
April 2011, beginning when the vic-
tim was 8 years old, Rojas-Alvarez
would sexually assault him in the
middle of the
night and some-
times give him
money in return.
The boy tried to
resist but could-
nt and nally in
April 2011 his
young sister told
their mother she
had witnessed
the assaults,
according to the District Attorneys
Ofce.
The mother confronted Rojas who
left the house but was later appre-
hended by San Bruno police. During
his interview, he confessed to the
assaults and said he found little boys
sexually attractive with a preference
for 12-year-olds, prosecutors said.
Authorities found child pornogra-
phy on his cellphone.

A Daly City woman accused of
pepper-spraying a grocery store
employee who questioned her leav-
ing with a cart of unpurchased beer
and liquor will stand trial next month
on charges of robbery, burglary, theft
and illegally using tear gas.
Jessica Danielle Louise Jackson,
21, has pleaded not guilty to all the
charges stemming for the alleged
April 7 incident at Safeway inside
Westlake Center.
Prosecutors say just before 2 p.m.
that day, Jackson loaded up a basket
with a 30-pack of beer and several
bottles of hard alcohol that still had
the security caps intact. As an
employee alerted by the presence of
the caps fol-
lowed her out of
the store and
asked for a
receipt, Jackson
allegedly pulled
out a canister of
pepper spray and
shot it at the
worker before
eeing in a car.
Police found
images of both Jackson and her
license plate on store security camera
footage and tracked it to her parents
home where she lives. The vehicle
belongs to her parents, according to
prosecutors.
Jackson is in custody on $400,000
bail and is scheduled for a jury trial
April 22.

LOS ANGELES California
State University plans to spend the
projected $125.1 million in extra
state funding for the 2013-14 aca-
demic year to expand enrollment
and online courses, boost employee
salaries and pay for increased ener-
gy and health benet costs, ofcials
said Monday.
The board of trustees is set to dis-
cuss the administrations proposal
on Tuesday, said Assistant Vice
Chancellor Robert Turnage during a
conference call with the news media.
The additional money marks the
rst increase in state funding for the
23-campus system, one of the
nations largest public higher educa-
tion systems with 420,000 students,
after ve years of budget cuts that
resulted in layoffs, reduced admis-
sions and tuition hikes.
The $125 million is slated as the
rst of ve annual increases planned
by Gov. Jerry Brown that will total
$518 million by 2016-17.
Turnage said the biggest slice of
the 2013-14 funding $48.2 mil-
lion will pay for increased costs
for employee health benets, gas
and electricity. It will also be used to
cover the operating costs of new
labs and facilities that are coming
on line next fall.
Ofcials plan to use $21.7 million
to hire more instructors and student
support staff to admit nearly 6,000
more students, $10 million to fund
online courses to allow more stu-
dents to enroll in high-demand,
required courses and $7.2 million
for incentives for campuses to
develop ways to push more students
to graduate on time.
Another $38 million will pay for
average 1.2 percent raises to
employees with the exception of
senior administrators, including
campus presidents and vice presi-
dents, and the system chancellor
and vice chancellors, Turnage said.
Cal State plans enrollment hike with extra funds

NEW YORK Video game pub-
lisher Electronic Arts Inc. said
Monday that its CEO, John
Riccitiello, will step down on March
30.
The company has named Larry
Probst as executive chairman while
it searches for Riccitiellos replace-
ment. Probst has been chairman
since 1994 and served as CEO from
1991 to 2007, when Riccitiello took
over.
My decision to leave EA is real-
ly all about my accountability for
the shortcomings in our nancial
results this year, Riccitiello wrote
in a message to EA employees. It
currently looks like we will come in
at the low end of, or slightly below,
the nancial guidance we issued to
the Street, and we have fallen short
of the internal operating plan we set
one year ago. And for that, I am 100
percent accountable.
Redwood City-based EA and
other traditional video game com-
panies have been trying to adjust
to a changing world where con-
sumers are turning to mobile
devices and cheap or free
online games instead of buying
expensive packaged titles.
Electronic Arts reported adjusted
revenue of $1.18 billion for the last
three months of 2012, a 28 percent
drop from the same period a year
earlier. The gure was below Wall
Streets expectations of $1.29 bil-
lion.

Input wanted for changes
in downtown Burlingame
Bringing the Burlingame Downtown Specific Plan to life
requires input from residents which city officials are seek-
ing during a community meeting Wednesday.
In 2010, the Burlingame City Council adopted the
Burlingame Downtown Specific Plan, which provides the
framework for the business area.
On Wednesday night, the city will sponsor the first in a
series of workshops to bring together stakeholders to explore
and identify opportunities and options for particular aspects
of downtown Burlingame. The workshops represent a con-
tinuation of the citys efforts to implement the policies of the
Burlingame Downtown Specific Plan, with a specific focus
on the central sites, particularly parking lot E, between
Lorton Avenue and Park Road, and the downtown Post Office
on Park Road.
The meeting will be held from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and held
in the Lane Room of the Burlingame Public Library, 480
Primrose Road, Burlingame. On the agenda for the night will
be going over information about the Downtown Specific Plan
along with issues and opportunities and a chance to break out
into smaller work groups. Development team officials will be
on hand for the meeting.
As an initial work effort, the subcommittee, currently con-
sisting of Mayor Ann Keighran and Vice Mayor Michael
Brownrigg, worked with staff to prepare a request for quali-
fications seeking qualified, developers interested in develop-
ment of one or more of the downtown parking lots. The
selected developers, Grosvenor and Equity Residential, are
currently in negotiations with the city regarding their parking
lots of interest parking lot E, and parking lots F and N,
respectively.

Obama nominates Justice official to top Labor slot
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama gave a glowing
rollout Monday to Thomas Perez, his choice to lead the Labor
Department after an aggressive stint as the
nations chief civil rights enforcer. But the
nomination quickly ran into trouble as a
Republican senator declared he would
block the nomination until GOP concerns
about Perezs Justice Department tenure are
addressed.
Sen. David Vitter said he objects because
Perez enforced Louisianas voting rights
laws in a way that specically benets the
politics of the president and his administra-
tion at the expense of identity security of registered voters in
the state. The Justice Department, he said, has not responded to
Vitters 2011 letter on the subject.
But Obama and his allies pressed ahead with Perezs debut in
a new role, in which he would shift from the upper ranks of the
Justice Department, saying they expect him to bring the same
aggressive mindset to the Labor Department. They predicted he
would raise the agencys prole and play a more prominent role
in the Cabinet than Hilda Solis, who left the post in January.
Hillary Clinton announces
support for gay marriage
WASHINGTON Former Secretary of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton announced her support for gay marriage
Monday, putting her in line with other
potential Democratic presidential candi-
dates on a social issue that is rapidly gain-
ing public approval.
Clinton made the announcement in an
online video released Monday morning by
the gay rights advocacy group Human
Rights Campaign. She says in the six-
minute video that gays and lesbians are
full and equal citizens and deserve the
rights of citizenship.
That includes marriage, she says, adding that she backs gay
marriage both personally and as a matter of policy and law.
Clintons announcement is certain to further fuel the already
rampant speculation that she is considering another run for
president in 2016. Other possible Democratic contenders
including Vice President Joe Biden, New York Gov. Andrew
Cuomo and Maryland Gov. Martin OMalley all back the
right of same-sex couples to marry.
Around the nation
By Steve Peoples
WASHINGTON This was to be a
roadmap for a new, more inclusive
GOP: attract minority voters, support
immigration reform and embrace wel-
coming and inclusive attitudes on gay
rights. But minutes after unveiling the
proposal on Monday, the party chair-
man distanced himself from it, and
some conservatives and Tea Partyers
balked.
It all illustrated the GOPs precarious
balance as it works to unite battling fac-
tions.
This is not my report, Republican
National Committee chairman Reince
Priebus told reporters, describing the
contents as simply recommendations by
a ve-person panel even though he
was the person who had commissioned
the self-audit after the party lost a sec-
ond consecutive presidential election
last fall. He made the comments imme-
diately after declaring Monday Day
One of the partys push to change per-
ceptions the audit uncovered that the
GOP is narrow minded, out of touch
and stuffy old men.
The perception that were the party of
the rich unfortunately continues to
grow, Priebus said as he released the
report, drawn up by panelists with strong
ties to big-tent Republicans who have
long favored more inclusive policies
opposed by ideological purists.
Conservative and Tea Party criticism
was immediate, a sign that the prescrip-
tions may end up widening existing
divides rather than building new bridges
in an evolving GOP.
The idea that a major political party
must accept the practice of homosexual-
ity as normal so as to remain relevant
will prove the contrary and lead to disas-
ter, said John Horvat II, a Catholic
scholar. And Jenny Beth Martin, nation-
al coordinator for the Tea Party Patriots,
faulted Washington GOP establishment
leaders for the November losses, saying
they strayed from the conservative mes-
sage.
Americans and those in the Tea Party
movement dont need an autopsy
report from RNC to know they failed to
promote our principles and lost because
of it, she said.

WASHINGTON Supreme Court
justices disagreed Monday over
whether states can require would-be
voters to prove they are U.S. citizens
before using a federal registration sys-
tem designed to make signing up easi-
er.
Arizona and other states told the jus-
tices the precaution is needed to keep
illegal immigrants and other nonciti-
zens from voting. But some justices
asked whether states have the right to
force people to document their citizen-
ship when Congress ordered the states
to accept and use federal motor voter
registration cards that only ask regis-
trants to swear on paper that they are
U.S. citizens.
I have a real big disconnect with
how you can be saying youre accepting
and using, when youre not registering
people when they use it the way the
federal law permits them to, Justice
Sonia Sotomayor said to Arizona
Attorney General Thomas C. Horne.
Said Horne: It is the burden of the
states to determine the eligibility of the
voters.
This is the second voting eligibility
issue the high court is tackling this ses-
sion. Last month, several justices
voiced deep skepticism about whether a
section of the Voting Rights Act of
1965, a law that has helped millions of
minorities exercise their right to vote,
especially in areas of the Deep South,
was still needed.
The court will make decisions in both
later this year.

Letters to the editor
The Sacramento Bee
S
urprise, surprise. California lawmak-
ers are increasingly exploiting a legal
loophole to skirt campaign nance
limits. Does this have a familiar ring?
Somewhat restrained by a $4,100 per elec-
tion restriction on what they can solicit from
individual contributors for their campaign
accounts, lawmakers are taking advantage of
campaign measure committees. That
allows them to raise unlimited funds from
special interests, ostensibly to support or
oppose a ballot measure, but also to organize
lavish junkets and dole out favors to friends,
campaign consultants and others in their
political machines.
A recent story by The Bees Torey Van Oot
detailed how the top loophole exploiters are
spending the money they raise. Las Vegas is
a favored destination. Sen. Ed Hernandez,
who has a California College Opportunity
ballot committee, spent three-fourths of his
committee funds on fundraising, including
wining and dining 25 guests on an overnight
stay at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, with dinner
at Smith and Wolensky. Sen. Kevin de Lesn,
D-Los Angeles, held a fundraiser for his
Believing in a Better California committee
at a 2012 Las Vegas prizeght. Later he spent
more than $2,000 on thank you gloves to
21 lobbyists and other power players who
attended the fundraiser.
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but
what happens with these ballot measure com-
mittees in California stays there, too.
Lawmakers, including Senate President Pro
Tem Darrell Steinberg and Assembly Speaker
John A. Perez, spend hundreds of thousands
of dollars from these committees on con-
sultants, but dont have to detail how that
money is spent.
Is it expended on ballot measures? Or does
some of the money go to consulting that ben-
ets the lawmaker behind the committee,
without that being reported?
At their best, these kinds of committees
allow lawmakers to promote initiatives that
benet California, as de Lesn did in pushing
Proposition 39, which voters approved last
November to change state tax formulas to
fund renewable energy projects.
At their worst, they are slush funds for
lawmakers to parcel out patronage, while
allowing special interests to ingratiate them-
selves with lawmakers without any restric-
tions on the dollars contributed.
And who do we have to thank for this
loophole? Former Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger, that champion of political
reform, deserves most of the credit.
In 2005, Schwarzenegger challenged a Fair
Political Practices Commission rule it had
handed down four years earlier. The FPPC
rule attempted to ban candidates from raising
unlimited amounts of money for ballot com-
mittees they controlled, a response to former
Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamantes abuse of the
loophole during the recall campaign against
Gov. Gray Davis.
Although Schwarzenegger had taken
Davis job promising not to take money from
special interests, his political allies soon cre-
ated Citizens to Save California and started
accepting unlimited contributions, with
Schwarzenegger featured at fundraising
events. Good government groups pressed the
FPPC to crack down. When it attempted to
do so, Schwarzenegger sued and was able to
maintain the loophole, thanks to a question-
able ruling by Sacramento Superior Court
Judge Shellyanne Chang.
Because of that ruling, California lawmak-
ers can continue to exploit a loophole their
counterparts in Congress cannot enjoy. The
Federal Election Commission several years
ago ruled that members of Congress could
not raise money in excess of federal contri-
bution limits.
Sadly, because of Changs ruling, the only
people who can close this loophole are law-
makers themselves. They should do so. If
they fail to act, the loophole will need to be
closed through the initiative process.
Leaf blowers
Editor,
Ive read your coverage about the leaf
blowers in San Mateo. When you have a leaf
blower operating next to your home almost
every day, it is easy to say to vote against
them. I understand they need them to do their
work efciently. If only those guys could
ease off on the accelerator. Why cant they at
least tone the noise down? That would be
just considerate. I have reported them twice
to the police for operating early Sunday
morning. The police came out immediately
to shut them down. If these leaf blowing
guys want to have some slack, they should
operate on a lower speed, at least. When they
are full blast, they give you a headache.
Jim Bertucci
San Mateo
Conservative dogma
Editor,
Philip Hage recently wrote a letter, The
rich arent paying their fair share
response, in the March 12 edition of the
Daily Journal, challenging another readers
assertions about taxation. In it, he uses a load
of statistics and addresses the other reader by
name.
Hages statistics are the same talking
points we hear from conservatives all the
time how a small percentage of the popu-
lace actually pays the bulk of taxes, how cor-
porate taxes are higher here than nearly
everywhere else in the world, and so on. And
while he was at it, Hage threw in an obligato-
ry reference to socialism.
Where Hages letter comes up short is not
in the statistics he cites, but that he never
actually says what we should do about our
budget issues. Other than saying we are
spending too much, Phil offers no solu-
tions. Citing numbers, whether accurate or
skewed to make a point, is not the same as
suggesting a solution for the problem at
hand.
One of my bosses told me years ago not to
bring up a problem without offering at least
one solution. Phil hones in on the problem,
then uses a pile of numbers to cover up the
fact that he offers no practical solution.

Entitlement or
earned income benefit
Editor,
Almost all tax payers contribute toward
Social Security and Medicare. These pro-
grams are, therefore, earned income benets.
Why are the politicians calling these pro-
grams entitlements?
It is bewildering to see a progressive
Democrat such as the House Minority Leader
Rep. Nancy Pelosi going along with our ever
compromising president Mr. Barack
Obama to consider cutting Social Security
and Medicare benets.
The idea that Social Security and
Medicare are going bankrupt is a manufac-
tured crisis to help the super rich and the
Wall Street bankers. Center for Media and
Democracy conducted an investigation on the
role played by the billionaire Peter G.
Petersons foundation to push the sequester
(austerity) plan and cut (eliminate in the
future) Social Security and
Medicare/Medicaid benets and published
their work at www.prwatch.org. You can also
see the reporters interview on YouTube
(www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNPAOfwKV8
o).
Unless we let our voices be heard, the
politicians will only hear the voices of the
super rich.

Daddy issues
W
hos your daddy? Apparently,
nobody in exclusive little
Woodside because town ofcials
said thanks but no thanks to a nearly $12 mil-
lion offer by SugarDaddie.com to rename itself
in the websites honor.
Actually, the town
council said absolutely
nothing in response to a
spokesmans public
proposition at a meeting
last week and as any
man with a little dating
experience knows the
cold shoulder is a sign
somebodys not getting
lucky. Unless, instead,
the town is just playing hard to get. Maybe it
thinks the companys paltry offer is better t-
ting a tawdry little tryst rather than a long-term
relationship.
In any case, declining the proposal inde-
cent or not is not surprising; if there is one
thing Woodside and its residents dont really
need it is a little more green in its pocket or
random publicity. This isnt Colma who a
decade ago irted briey with the idea of
renaming itself Got Milk? before the idea by
the California Milk Processing Board curdled.
This isnt even any of San Mateo Countys
cities who know what its like to scrape by and
might have beneted from SugarDaddie.coms
offer. Maybe San Carlos during its 10-year
structural decit would have bitten or Half
Moon Bay when faced with bankruptcy.
SugarDaddie.com could have found a wealth
of willing opportunity there if not quite the
widespread afuent demographics it seeks.
But Woodside? Ma and pa businesses are
one thing. Shameless promotion? Not some-
thing it is willing to hook up.
The wealthy enclave includes the likes of
Larry Ellison, recently saw the purchase of the
nations most expensive private residence and
doesnt go out of its way to attract attention.
This is a place that keeps any mutually bene-
cial arrangements between its residents and
their nieces behind closed doors, not glori-
ed on city letterhead. And a measly $11.65
million? Some Woodside residents would call
that a shoe fund.
Yet think of the fun had Woodside fallen for
the PR scheme by a company that bills itself,
no joke, as the online meeting place for sugar
daddies and sugar babies. First off, the town
would also have a no-brainer when it comes to
branded materials unless Tootsie Roll
Industries balked at it passing out the caramel
confections.
The town hall and library would require new
names. SugarDaddie Public Library sounds
like a reference source of men through history
willing to show a little generosity to those
whose desire for the ner things in life out-
weigh their age. SugarDaddie Town Hall will
undoubtedly need a respectable bust in front
and the proposal did actually call for erecting
either a a statue of Hugh Hefner ... or some
other public gure that best represents the
sugar daddy lifestyle. Hefner isnt bad but a
more suitable bet might be bazillionaire J.
Howard Marshall II, who may be among the
famous benefactors of sweet young things. At
60 years her senior, his May-December
romance with Anna Nicole Smith was so
extreme the months werent even in the same
year.
Inside the hall, the Sugar Daddie
Community Council would hold court which
sounds a lot more exciting than most govern-
ment meetings. Will allowance increases to the
Sugar Babies greater than a set amount require
full council approval or will the town manager
be able to sign off?
Alas, ofcials put their foot down on the
scheme which means no SugarDaddie.com,
Calif. and certainly never a female-oriented
community like Cougar Town although hope
springs eternal. Maybe another wealthy city
like Atherton or Hillsborough will put out or
perhaps, like Woodside and other wise yet
humor-impaired jurisdictions, they will also
pass. At least the ridiculous question is one
way to gauge the common sense and self

NEW YORK Stocks closed lower
on Wall Street as investors worried that a
controversial proposal to seize money
from depositors in Cyprus could set off
another bout of anxiety over Europes
shared currency.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
62.05 points, or 0.4 percent, to 14,452.06
Monday. It had plunged as much as 110
points in the early going, briey turned
positive in the afternoon then fell back
again in the last hour of trading.
The Standard & Poors 500 index fell
8.60 points, or 0.6 percent, to 1,552.10
The Nasdaq composite dropped 11.48
points, or 0.4 percent, to 3,237.59.
European markets recovered most of an
early slide and closed with modest losses.
Yields on government bonds issued by
Spain and Italy edged higher and the euro
fell to a three-month low against the dol-
lar.
The market rally that has pushed the
Dow to record levels this year has been
punctuated by concerns about the euro-
regions lingering debt crisis. The Dow
fell 1.6 percent Feb. 25, its biggest wob-
ble this year, after elections in Italy threw
the country into political paralysis,
endangering crucial economic reforms.
Europe has got problems, said Uri
Landesman, president of Platinum
Partners, a hedge fund. You could get
more stuff like this and the market isnt
priced to handle that.
A weekend agreement between Cyprus
and its European partners called for the
government to raid bank accounts as part
of a (euro) 15.8 billion ($20.4 billion)
nancial bailout, the rst time in the euro
zone crisis that the prospect of seizing
individuals savings has been raised. The
measures are stoking fears of bank runs in
the other 16 nations that use the euro.
Cypriot authorities, facing an uproar,
delayed a parliamentary vote on the
seizure and ordered the countrys banks
to remain closed until Thursday while
they try to modify the deal to lessen the
impact on small depositors.
Markets in Europe and Asia also fell
during early trading, before retracing
some of their losses later in the day.
Germanys DAX index dropped 0.4 per-
cent and Spains main stock index shed
1.3 percent. Indexes in Britain and France
each lost 0.5 percent.
The euro fell almost a penny against the
dollar to $1.2954, touching its lowest
level in three months. Gold climbed $12
to $1,604.60 an ounce.
The U.S. stock markets reaction to
euro zone developments has become
more muted over time.
The Dow slumped more than 8 percent
last year between May 1 and June 1 on
concerns that Spain and Italy would be
dragged into Europes debt crisis. While
the Dow initially dropped last month in
reaction to the Italian election results, it
has since gained 4.6 percent. Likewise the
market recovered much of the early loss
Monday prompted by Cypruss bailout
deal.
The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury
bond, which moves inversely to its price,
fell to 1.96 percent from 1.99 percent as
investors moved money into low-risk
investments. Yields on bonds issued by
Spain and Italy, the two most vulnerable
large European economies, rose but only
slightly. Spains benchmark 10-year yield
rose to 4.97 percent from 4.91 percent,
and Italys rose to 4.57 percent from 4.55
percent.
The stock markets resilience suggests
that traders consider the Cyprus situation
to be contained for now, said Quincy
Krosby, a market strategist for Prudential.
The threat of rising volatility may also
deter the Fed from thinking about ending
its economic stimulus program. The cen-
tral bank starts its second two-day policy
meeting of the year Tuesday.

WASHINGTON After
Friendster came MySpace. By the
time Facebook dominated social
media, parents had joined the
party, too.
But the online scene has changed
dramatically, as it turns out
and these days even if youre
friends with your own kids on
Facebook, it doesnt mean you
know what theyre doing.
Thousands of software programs
now offer cool new ways to chat
and swap pictures. The most popu-
lar apps turn a hum-drum snapshot
into artistic photography or broad-
cast your location to friends in
case they want to meet you. Kids
who use them dont need a credit
card or even a cellphone, just an
Internet connection and device
such as an iPod Touch or Kindle
Fire.
Parents who want to keep up
with the curve should stop thinking
in terms of imposing time limits or
banning social media services,
which are stopgap measures.
Experts say its time to talk frankly
to kids about privacy controls and
remind them again how
nothing in cyberspace every really
goes away, even when software
companies promise it does.
What sex education used to be,
its now the technology talk we
have to have with our kids, said
Rebecca Levey, a mother of 10-
year-old twin daughters who runs a
tween video review site called
KidzVuz.com and blogs about
technology and educations issues.

SAN FRANCISCO Federal
ofcials on Monday charged the for-
mer head of the nations largest pen-
sion fund and one of his business
associates with falsifying documents
and other charges in a long-running
inuence peddling and bribery inves-
tigation.
A grand jury in San Francisco
charged Federico Buenrostro Jr. and
Alfred Villalobos, and they were
booked and released on bond Monday
after briey appearing in court.
Buenrostro, 64, served as CEO of
the California Public Employees
Retirement System from late 2002
until June 2008. Villalobos, 69,
served on the CalPERS board and is a
former vice mayor of Los Angeles.
The indictment alleges the two con-
spired to fabricate documents that
certied to federal regulators that
Villalobos rm had obtained
required investor disclosure letters
from CalPERS to serve as a transfer
agent. The indictment charges that
the falsied documents allowed
Villalobos to reap $14 million in fees
for serving as a middleman between
CalPERS and a prominent investment
rm handling $3 billion in CalPERS
money.

Fans of Puerto Rico cheer on the team during Sundays World Baseball Classic semi nal against Japan a game they won 3-1. Puerto Rico
will play in their rst WBC nal tonight at AT& Park in San Francisco against the Dominican Republic.
World Baseball Classic presents MLB with opportunity to expand
Experience and youth on
display for PR in the nal
By Terry Bernal
So much for the theory that the World
Baseball Classic is a primer for adding major
league teams to various international cities
at least according to Puerto Rico manager
Edwin Rodriguez.
I see that very hard to happen, Rodriguez
said. I dont see that happening, because the
distance is way too far.
Not that there has been any public discus-
sion of the topic. Its just one writers curiosi-
ty, really. But it stands to reason that if MLB
were to be open to internationalizing the game
beyond its one team in Toronto, the Caribbean
baseball Mecca of San Juan, Puerto Rico
should be one of the top cities on the list.
Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan houses
a modest capacity compared to U.S. venues.
The stadium, which was built in 1962, seats
upwards of 19,000. But the venue has already
played host to MLB the Montreal Expos
played 44 home games there between 2003-
04. And the baseball culture of the area thrives
on love of the game and the enduring legend
of Roberto Clemente, a native of neighboring
Carolina, Puerto Rico, where the 12,000-seat
Roberto Clemente Stadium opened in 2000.
As for the distance from Puerto Rico being
too far, its really not, at least not on paper.
Not to quibble with Rodriguez, who is from
Puerto Rico, and would know better. But Luis
Muoz Marn International Airport in San
Juan is over 1,500 miles closer to Miami than
is San Francisco.

For years, Serra High
School left-hander
Orlando Razo has heard
why he cant be, or better
yet, shouldnt be a success
on the mound.
People have always
said I dont have the
stature to be a pitcher,
Razo said. I dont have
the stature to be a starter. I
dont have the stature to be a starter in college.
Ive heard that ever since I was little. And that
fuels me. Ive always been the type of player
that pitches with a chip on his shoulder. Thats
the way I pitch. And I have a good time prov-
ing people wrong.
Well, four starts into the 2013 baseball sea-
son, Razo is standing taller than ever and con-
sequently, so are the Padres.
Serra is off to a 9-1 start and a big 3-0 in
West Catholic Athletic League play thanks in
large part to Razos 1.67 earned run average
and .184 opponents batting average.
Hes outstanding, said Serra head coach
Craig Gianinno. Orlando has matured and
developed each year and rene his crafts. The
intangibles he demonstrates with his competi-
tive intensity and his maturity and just savvy
on the mound, you cant measure those.
Razo truly has been lights out to start the
season. His last two starts have been of the
gem variety. In a non-league rivalry game
against Burligame, No. 13 went the distance
Its hard to believe that the winter season
ended just last week when the Menlo girls
basketball team lost in the Nor Cal semi-
nals. The springs sports season is already
well under way, with PAL baseball and soft-
ball joining badminton, boys tennis, golf,
swimming and track and eld already in
league play.
So as is my custom, here is a wrapup of
the last three months:
Most thrilling nish:

Burlingame took a 1-0
lead on a Jonah Snyder
goal in the rst half and
Tim Lutvaliyevs blast
late in the second.
With about two min-
utes left in regulation time, the Bearcats drew
one back as Marco Zambrano converted a
Ryan Onizuka cross. Moments later, Onizuka
was fouled about 35 yards from the
Burlingame goal. Ricardo Molina served the
ensuing free kick into the Burlingame penal-
ty box where he found the head of
Turtletaub, who nodded it home.

gone and Spring athletics are nally here.
BOYS BASEBALL
Chris Atkeson picked up his third win of the
season with four innings of 1-earned run base-
ball against Hillsdale High School for Menlo
School. Key hits for the Menlo Knights were
a pair of two-out 2-RBI swings by Graham
Statford and Will King in the third to put the
Knights up 8-2 in that game.
With the Scots of Carlmont, Kyle Barret
continues his hot start to the year. His sacrice
y drove in Kai Haake early in a win over
Mills. That game stayed 1-0 until three more
Scots would score in the bottom of the fourth.
Matt Seubert picked up an RBI and after a
wild pitch, Haake singled up the middle to
drive in Seubert. Carlmonts fth run was
scored when Justin Fink singled in Barret.
Starting pitcher Greg Hubbell worked the
rst four innings, picking up his second win of
the season. He allowed no runs, just one hit
and no walks while striking out ve Mills
Vikings.
It took until their sixth game but the Sequoia
Cherokee offense nally broke out in a big
way against visiting Bentley of Lafayette.
Thirteen different players scored for Sequoia
(2-5) in the 18-1 victory.
Shortstop Jarrett Crowell made his season
debut and went 4-for-5, scored three runs and
swiped three bags (including home once).
Cameron Greenough (1-1) gave up just two
hits over four scoreless innings to earn the
win.

STANFORD Stanford senior
Joslyn Tinkle would enjoy seeing a
rematch with Pac-12 Conference rival
California. It would mean a lot to both
teams and the conference.
Fourth-ranked Stanford (31-2) was
given the No. 1 seed in the Spokane
Region of the NCAA womens tourna-
ment. No. 6 California was awarded the
No. 2 seed.
Its a fun rivalry game, theyre a good
team and we went at it earlier in the
year, Tinkle said. Sometimes if you
get that far, you dont know teams that
well. Were so familiar and its great
competition. It would be awesome to see
that game happen again.
Stanford and Cal tied for the Pac-12
regular-season title, with the teams split-
ting the season series. The Bears were
knocked out of the conference tourna-
ment by UCLA in the seminal.
Not getting to play Cal in the cham-
pionship makes it different, said
Cardinal junior Chiney Ogwumike, who
will bring a 22.4 scoring average and
13.1 rebounding average into the tourna-
ment. Its not so fresh in our minds. We
love the Pac-12 and we want the Pac-12
to succeed. Honestly, I was excited to
see Tulsa on the bracket so we can have
something to focus our energy on.
Stanford, the Pac-12s qualier after
winning its seventh straight Pac-12 tour-
nament title, is going for its sixth
straight Final Four appearance.
The Cardinal open at home Sunday
against Tulsa (17-16), and No. 8 seed
Michigan (21-10) and No. 9 Villanova
(21-10) also meet at Maples Pavilion in
a rst-round game. The winners will
play at Maples on Tuesday.
The Cardinal are making their 26th
consecutive NCAA tournament appear-
ance and 27th overall.
Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer said
he was a bit surprised at seeing
California in the same bracket.
Its something the committee has
done before, she said. I was excited
for Cal getting a 2 seed.
The Cardinal are looking for their rst
national title since 1992. They lost to
Baylor in last years national seminal
and last reached the championship game
in 2010.
Stanford has been eliminated by the
eventual national champion in each of
the past ve years.
Ogwumike will be looking for some
redemption after being held to a career-
low three points in Stanfords 51-49 vic-
tory over the Bruins in the conference
championship.
I expected three people on me every
game, Ogwumike said. I like being
inside a lot. I always expect the best of
the defense. The difference with UCLA
was they were committed to it for 40
minutes. Im excited to be back at
Maples; its a special place.
The Cardinal will be without starting
guard Toni Kokenis for the rest of the
year with an undisclosed illness. She has
missed 11 straight games and 12 overall.
Stanford women get No. 1 seed
Professor Michael Magazine is upending the logical world
of math with a good dose of March Madness.
Magazine teaches a new class called Bracketology at
University of Cincinnati, the home of the 10th-seeded
Bearcats, where 33 business students are spending the semes-
ter trying to make sense out of what can feel nonsensical at
times the art of lling out an NCAA tournament bracket.
The life lesson is that we make a lot of decisions that are
the right decisions, Magazine says, but the outcomes dont
always come out the way we planned.
And thats why picking the NCAA tournament is so much
fun.
Magazine says that, yes, hes among the millions of
Americans who take part in the countrys largest ofce pool
where all you need is a pen, a copy of the bracket and $10 or
$20 to get in on the action.
Real basketball knowledge? Thats optional. Some people
pick their favorite mascot, others go based on color, still oth-
ers just throw darts at a board.
I always tell people to ignore where they went to school,
Magazine says. But its hard to do.
He teaches the course with a Cincinnati alum, Paul Bessire,
who owns predictionmachine.com, a program that runs thou-
sands of simulations to forecast likely winners of games.
Armed with that, along with some mathematical models,
Magazine and Bessire hold three sessions handicapping,
assembling brackets, lling out the brackets and seeing how
everyone did.
Its a pass-fail class, Magazine says.
Good thing because when it comes to March Madness, the
numbers get a little crazy.
According to the website bookofodds.com, if you ll out
your bracket by picking the better-seeded team in every game,
the odds of that bracket being perfect are more than 35 billion-
1. Or, to put it another way, you have an 18 times better chance
of being killed by a waterspout this year.
There are more than 9.2 quintillion combinations (a 9, fol-
lowed by 18 zeroes), and even if you eliminate all those that
have a No. 16 seed winning even a single game which has
never happened youre still talking about enough paper to
build a trail from the Earth to the moon more than 1 million
times.
Oh, and about eliminating those No. 16 seeds: Might think
twice about that.
This has been the most unpredictable college basketball sea-
son anyone can remember, including one stretch where the No.
1 team in The Associated Press Top 25 changed for ve
straight weeks.

ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders
signed former Atlanta defensive tackle
Vance Walker to a free-agent contract on
Monday in the latest move to upgrade a
depleted defense.
Walker is the sixth defensive free
agent signed by Oakland in the past
week. He joins tackle Pat Sims and
Jason Hunter on the line with lineback-
ers Nick Roach, Kaluka Maiava and
Kevin Burnett also added to the mix.
The Raiders are expected to bring
back only three starters from the defense
that gave up the fth most points in the
NFL last season. After addressing the
front seven in the rst week of free
agency, the Raiders now need to work
on the secondary, where the only starter
from last year under contract is safety
Tyvon Branch.
The Raiders have also met with free
agent cornerback Terrence Newman.
Newman said on Twitter that he expects
to make a decision about whether to
remain with Cincinnati or sign with
Oakland sometime this week.
Walker is considered a run stopper
who did not play in obvious passing sit-
uations last year with the Falcons.
Walker started nine games for Atlanta
last season, making 32 tackles with
three sacks and a forced fumble.
He played 58 career games with the
Falcons over four seasons after being
drafted in the seventh round out of
Georgia Tech in 2009. He is versatile
enough to also play nose tackle or
defensive end on a three-man line.
Oakland has already lost two defen-
sive linemen to free agency with Matt
Shaughnessy signing with Arizona and
Desmond Bryant reaching a deal with
Cleveland. Richard Seymour is a free
agent and is not expected to return.
Backup Dave Tollefson has already been
released and longtime starter Tommy
Kelly is expected to be cut this offsea-
son.

Serving The Peninsula
for over 25years
the rst three matches, went on to dominate
the Colts. The Tigers ripped off nine straight
wins eight by pin to beat the Colts 60-
18 and catapult Terra Nova to the Peninsula
Athletic League dual-meet championship.
Most lethal soccer scorer: Gianna Rosati,
Woodside girls soccer. Despite playing cen-
tral defender, there was no more feared scor-
er in the PAL than Rosati. Any set piece
close enough to be dangerous, especially cor-
ner kicks, was a scoring opportunity. With an
uncanny knack to score off headers, Rosati
ended up leading the Central Coast Section
champs in scoring this season.
Upset of the year: Mills girls basketball.
The Vikings took on Burlingame and, after
falling behind by 15 points in the third quar-
ter, came roaring back to hand the eventual
CCS champs one of two regular-season loss-
es, 47-45.
After going down 35-20 with 7:24 to play
in the third quarter, Mills nished the period
on a 19-0 run to take a four-point lead going
into the nal eight minutes.
Biggest breakout game: Mikel Floro-
Cruz, Burlingame boys basketball. Panthers
coach Pete Harames said he had been asking
his point guard all year to shoot the ball
more. Floro-Cruz nally did and it helped
lead the Panthers to their rst CCS title.
Floro-Cruz went off in the seminals
against rival Mills. With Connor Haupt held
in check by the Mills defense and center
Nick Loew sitting out most of the rst half
with foul trouble, Floro-Cruz, who averaged
only ve points during the regular season,
nally heeded his coachs plea: he knocked
down six 3-pointers and scored a game-high
20 points, helping the Panthers advance to
the championship game.
Best off-season move: Going back to
Friday-night quads. The buzz was back for
PAL basketball as the powers that be
scrapped the PALs three-division, competi-
tion-based format, and returned to the geog-
raphy-based North-South divisions which
brought many natural rivals back into a state
of harmony.
Every Friday night quad I went to this sea-
son was off the hook with noise. The Mills-
Aragon boys matchup early in the PAL sea-
son was one of the loudest gyms Ive ever
heard. The new Aragon gym was packed to
the rafters and everyone was into it as Mills
posted a 59-55 win.
Most successful winter program: Menlo
School. The Knights had a dominant three-
month run, winning two West Bay Athletic
League titles (girls soccer and boys basket-
ball) and three CCS championships (boys
soccer, boys and girls basketball). The girls
soccer team, which won the WBAL crown,
advanced to the CCS seminals.
Biggest surprise: Woodside girls basket-
ball. A year ago, the Wildcats nished in
third place in the PALs Lake Division. This
year, they captured a share of the PAL South
title and advanced to the CCS Division II
championship game.
Under coach Hayley Grossman, Woodside
went from a 2-6, 5-16 record three years ago
to 5-3 in PAL play last year and 8-10 overall.
This year, the Wildcats broke through with
the best season in school history, going 11-1
in PAL play to tie with Burlingame, 23-6
overall and a spot in the CCS championship
game the teams rst-ever appearance.

NEW ORLEANS Stephen Currys
effortless-looking 3-pointer from 29 feet away
symbolized how right things have gone for
Golden State during the rst two games of a
meaningful late-season road trip.
Looking to lead his team
into the playoffs, Curry
scored 30 points and the
Warriors won easily for the
second straight night, 93-
72 over the struggling New
Orleans Hornets on
Monday.
This is a game that val-
idates last night, how big a
win that was for us to start
the road trip, Curry said,
alluding to Golden States 30-point victory at
Houston on Sunday. If you drop an egg
tonight it means nothing, so a big win for
us.
David Lee had 20 points and 11 rebounds,
and Klay Thompson scored 13 points for the
Warriors (39-30), who continued to solidify
their postseason credentials with 13 games
remaining.
Were a good team. Were focused on a
mission and we never lost condence in the
down part of the year that we had the last cou-
ple months, Curry said, referring to a 3-10
stretch spanning from early February to early
March. We feel like when were on top of our
game and locked in and everybodys healthy
and ready to go, were a team to be reckoned
with and match up with anybody.
After scoring 29 points at Houston, Curry
made 10 of his 19 eld goal attempts in New
Orleans, hitting six 3s on nine attempts.
Andrew Bogut anchored the Warriors
defense with four blocks and nine rebounds to
go with his eight points.
We understood what we had to do coming
in here, Warriors coach Mark Jackson said.
That didnt mean we were going to win, but
if we were going to lose, we were going to
lose with energy, effort and efciency. We did
those things and came up with a big win.
Im proud of my guys, Jackson added,
satised with how his players have responded
to a mid-season swoon in which it looked like
they might fade from contention. Were not
going anywhere.
Ryan Anderson had 21 points and nine
rebounds for the Hornets (22-46), who came
in tied with Phoenix for the Western
Conferences worst record and lost their
fourth straight game. Anthony Davis added 16
points, while Greivis Vasquez had 14 points
and nine assists. The Hornets, who lost in
Minnesota on Sunday, were playing without
guard Eric Gordon, who has rested his right
knee on the second of back-to-back games
this season.
We took a lot of bad shots, Hornets coach
Monty Williams said. Its a challenge to try
to manufacture your offense with guys who
are trying their best to make shots when we
dont have a guy to get it done, get the ball and
go to the basket. (Golden State) had a number
of guys who could do that.
Curry twice hit 3s to give Golden State 10-
point leads in the third quarter, and the
Warriors led by as many as 13 when Boguts
jump hook made it 59-46.
The Hornets used a 7-2 run highlighted by
Davis alley-oop jam and Andersons 3 to pull
back to 62-55, but the Warriors pushed their
lead back up to 13 when Curry drained his 29-
footer.
It didnt know where I was, Curry said. I
just felt condent enough that I could take it
and make it.
Curry leads Warriors past Hornets, 93-72

SPORTS 14
For his efforts, Razo is the San Mateo Daily
Journal Athlete of the Week.
Hes never going to say he doesnt want
the ball, Gianinno said. Hes a great com-
petitor. And, as a credit to him, hes been able
to pitch with maturity and poise.
Known for his competitive re since his
sophomore season on the Serra varsity team,
Razo has come out with a calm, composed
swagger to his game in 2013. Sure, the inten-
sity that denes No. 13 is still there, but Razo
said hes learned to channel that edge to his
advantage this season and its paid dividends.
Against Burlingame, Razo dazzled, striking
out 15 while allowing just two runs both
unearned on two hits to go the distance.
Pretty much from the get-go I knew I was
going to nish the game, Razo said after the
game. Everything was working out there.
The offense was getting runs and giving me
support, and the defense was doing its job.
Everything just felt comfortable from the
beginning.
It was about getting into a rhythm and
working quickly to stay fresh and make sure
you dont get cold out there, Razo said on
Monday. We got in a good rhythm from the
start. It feels pretty good. The big thing is,
youre not really trying to strike anyone out.
When you do that, you tend to nibble the
strike zone and not pound the zone consistent-
ly. Your goal out there is to throw strikes on a
consistent basis with a good rhythm. So, when
youre striking guys out, you want to make
sure youre not pitching to that specically.
Youre pitching to contact out there. It just so
happens youre hitting your spots really well.
Razo followed that outing with an even
more impressive one against St. Ignatius in
WCAL play.
Battling one of the best players in the
league (and Summer ball teammate the last
two years) Jack Klein, Razo set down the rst
seven batters of the game in order, though
only one by way of strikeout. The senior ulti-
mately fanned seven, including striking out
the side in the seventh to end it. But he
seemed more content to put the ball in play
and let the polished Serra defense show off its
chops behind him.
Not only did Razo put balls on the ground
in every inning with the exception of the sev-
enth, he induced two pivotal double plays to
strand runners in scoring position in each the
fourth and fifth innings to help preserve
Serras 3-1 win.
Razos complete game against S.I. is a great
example of what he called a trust hes learned
to develop with his teammates. Admittedly,
Razo said it wasnt there to begin his junior
season. But, the rhythm the Padres and Razo
developed in the latter part of 2012 has spilled
over to this year. And at 9-1 to start the year,
the program is loving the results.
To be competitive and consistent we just
have to focus on what we need to do to get
better, Razo said, not really focus on what
other teams are doing. Just focus on the
process of what we need to do. We always
have the phrase, nameless, faceless oppo-
nent and thats the mentality we need to
have.

game for the Cherokees, who touched up vis-
iting Thurgood Marshall for 13 runs on 14
hits. Zane Gelphman (1-0) teamed up with
relievers Clayton Silverman, Connor
Grossman and Drew Tweedy on the one-hit
shutout.
Crowell set the offensive once again.
Eli Dugan nished the afternoon 3-for-3
with two runs scored and three RBIs and
Gelphman added a 3-for-4 day.
Elsewhere in the baseball realm, after play-
ers like Dany Cody (four hits including a
triple) and and Will Nahmens (moved to 3-0
with a win against Gunn High School) got
Sacred Heart Prep off to a hot start for the
week, Burlingames Tommy Cauleld, Chris
Brownlow and Dino Landucci slowed the
Gators down with seven innings of two-hit
ball in a 7-0 win.
BOYS TENNIS
The Sequoia High boys tennis team fell to
Half Moon Bay 5-2 in Peninsula Athletic
League-Ocean play Tuesday at home.
The Cherokees (1-5 league) got wins at the
top two spots from two young guns though.
Top seed Conor Carroll, a sophomore, rolled
to a 6-0, 6-1 win over Nick Lasher at No. 1.
Sequoia freshman Avery Amaya-Adle defeat-
ed Steve Jacobson 6-0, 7-5.
The Cougars Ryan Segervall topped Jake
Loveland 6-0, 6-1 at No.3 for an impressive
win.
Carlmonts Corey Pang was a tennis
machine. In a pair of wins, he dropped a total
of four points.
Burlingame tennis picked up a 7-0 win
against El Camino that included a 14-set
sweep and only 14 dropped points through-
out.
SHPs Justin Foster and Reuben Sarwal
picked up solid victories on the week. So did
Menlo-Athertons Nick Fratt.
BOYS GOLF
Sacred Heart Prep junior Bradley Knox
birdied the second and third holes and parred
the remaining seven to record a 2-under par
round of 33 and pace his team to a win over
host The Kings Academy.
Menlo Golf wins its second match of the
WBAL season by beating the Harker School
200 to 205 at Palo Alto Hills Country Club.
Senior Andrew Buchanan repeated as medal-
ist by shooting a 37, two over par. But
Menlos match MVP award goes to junior
Riley Burgess who was playing in his second
WBAL match and shot a 39. Burgess got off
to a hot start with the putter after making a
great par save from 15 feet on the rst hole.
He proved it was no uke with a 10-foot
birdie putt nding the center of the cup on the
downhill par 3 second hole. I hit the ball
really well off the tee today, and could have
easily scored a few shots lower except for a
couple of three putts on the tough ... greens.
SWIMMING
Serras Zachary Zamecki had a solid outing
in a win against Valley Christian. The junior
won four events including the 200 and 100
freestyles. His teammate Cyrus Morrison,
only a freshman, picked up three win, includ-
ing the 50 free.
In girls swimming, SHPs Ally Howe and
Sloane Sturzenegger had big days, albeit in a
loss to St. Francis of Mountain View. Over at
Menlo-Atherton, Kindle Van Linge (200 free
and 100 breast),
Nicole Zanolli (200 IM and 100 fly),
Brooke Stenstrom (50 free and 100 back),
Maddie Pont (100 free and 100 breast) and

ANAHEIM On the same night Corey
Perry spurned free agency and agreed to an
eight-year contract extension, the Anaheim
Ducks extended the longest home winning
streak in franchise history by beating one of
their biggest rivals.
What a day to be a Duck.
Emerson Etem had his rst NHL goal and an
assist, defenseman Francois Beauchemin
scored two goals, and Anaheim beat the San
Jose Sharks 5-3 Monday night for its fran-
chise-record 12th consecutive home victory.
Viktor Fasth made 32 saves for the streaking
Ducks, who have the NHLs second-best
record at 21-3-4 while earning a point in 11
straight games heading into Wednesdays
showdown with the league-leading Chicago
Blackhawks. The Ducks announced Perrys
extension to their crowd in the second period,
getting a roar of approval and three goals by
his teammates in blindingly swift succession.
The victory capped another celebratory
night in whats been a charmed season for the
Ducks, who have a 12-point lead over Stanley
Cup champion Los Angeles atop the Pacic
Division with 20 games to play.
Thats pretty good news in the overall
scheme of things, Anaheim coach Bruce
Boudreau said. I think Ill sleep well tonight.
Captain Ryan Getzlaf had a short-handed
goal and an assist, while Peter Holland and
Etem scored 34 seconds apart in the second
period to keep the Ducks unbeaten at Honda
Center since their opener Jan. 25. Its the
NHLs third-longest home streak in the past
four seasons.
We always want this building to be a tough
place to come into, Getzlaf said. Our fans
have shown it this year, and weve shown it.
Thats what we want to do down the stretch
here, keep winning our home games and win
as many as you can on the road.
Although Perry didnt play while serving the
third game of his four-game suspension for an
illegal hit on Minnesotas Jason Zucker, the
Ducks announced the $69 million extension
for the former NHL MVP.
Ducks edge Sharks 5-3 for 12th straight home win
Lindsey Vonn and
Tiger Woods say theyre dating
ORLANDO Sports has a new power
couple: Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn con-
rmed theyre dating.
Two months after rumors began circulating
in Europe, Woods and Vonn posted separate
items on their Facebook pages Monday after-
noon to announce their relationship. The posts
include photos of golfs 14-time major winner

This season has been great so far and Im
happy with my wins at Torrey and Doral,
Woods said. Something nice thats happened
off the course was meeting Lindsey Vonn.
Lindsey and I have been friends for some
time, but over the last few months we have
become very close and are now dating.
Woods made a stop in Austria where
Vonn was competing in the Alpine skiing
world championships in January on his
way to Abu Dhabi to start his season.
SPORTS 15
baseball superhero. And Sunday night he did
not disappoint.
Molinas spotlighted superhero moment
came in the fth inning as Puerto Rico transi-
tioned to its bullpen. When Puerto Rico start-
ing pitcher Mario Santiago left the game with
forearm tightness in the fth, Puerto Rico
called upon reliever Jose De La Torre.
Inheriting a runner at second, De La Torre
walked the rst batter he faced. Thats when
Molina took over, showing that intangible
dimension that has earned him the reputation
as the most dominant defensive catcher on the
planet.
With two out, De La Torre overthrew an 0-
1 fastball that skipped just in front of home
plate. Molina pounced, keeping Japans base
runners in check. The near wild pitch prompt-
ed a long, animated holler to the mound from
Molina as he was still in the crouch behind the
plate. Two pitches later, De La Torre cashed in
one of his three strikeouts on the night, to
which Molina popped out of his crouch with
an animated yell that may have registered on
the Richter scale.
Hes as great a catcher as you can have,
said Puerto Rico teammate Alexis Rios, who
fed off the energy by drilling a two-run home
run two innings later. He knows how to keep
the pace and he knows how to call great
games. Hes a leader a great player. His
leadership means a lot to this team.
YOUNG GUN
Puerto Rico also boasts the youngest player
remaining in the WBC right-hander Jose
Berrios. Still only 18, he is the youngest play-
er on the Puerto Rican roster by nearly three
years. And he is the fourth youngest player
among all the 16 qualifying teams in the tour-
nament.
The youngest player was pitcher Rafael
Moreno of Mexico, who did not pitch in the
WBC. Haifan Yang of China and Jen Tseng of
Chinese-Taipei each a little over two
months younger than Berrios threw an
inning apiece in pool play.
The results havent been there with Berrios,
but the stuff has been. The reballing right-
hander has pitched in two games, posting an
0-1 record in the WBC. The loss came to the
Dominican Republic in the nale of pool play
at San Juan, Puerto Ricos Hiram Bithram
Stadium. Despite this, Berrios was one of two
Puerto Rican pitchers warming up in the
bullpen through the thick of Japans eighth
inning rally Sunday night. Amid Japans
biggest threat of the game, Puerto Rico man-
ager Edwin Rodriguez opted to go to 23-year-
old right-hander Randy Fontanez, who sur-
rendered a run on three hits over 1/3 inning of
work.
In retrospect, Rodriguez said he would do
things differently.
What happened [Sunday] night the sit-
uation and the importance of the game, I went
to Fontanez, just because a little bit more
experience, Rodriguez said. Just a little bit.
Fontana is 23. But it was a matter of the way
Fontanez pitched the day before (in Puerto
Ricos 2-0 loss to the Dominican Republic in
Saturdays second-round nale). He did good.
I based my decision on that one. But if that
were to happen again after knowing the
results, I would have brought in Berrios.
A supplemental rst-round draft pick by the
Twins last year, Berrios made a quick impres-
sion in pro ball. Over two levels of rookie ball,
he posted a 3-0 record with a 1.16 ERA, strik-
ing out 49 against just four walks in 31
innings of work. Still, Berrios has yet to play
beyond Rookie-class Elizabethton of the
Appalachian League.
Hes been handling himself very, very
well, Rodriguez said. Hes been amazing.
Not only myself, but the whole staff has been
very impressed with the way Berrios has been
handling himself, not only on the eld, but off
the eld. ... For a guy, he already throws 97-
98 (mph) with a big-league changeup, he
already has two big-league pitches. Showing
that he can handle that kind of pressure, its
amazing.
Miami and Tampa and the other [ones are]
Washington and Atlanta, Rodriguez said. I
think that is way too far to travel. The travel
would be very tough. Other than that, I dont
see why not (have a major league team in
Puerto Rico). But I think they would take [the
distance] into consideration very seriously.
Lets break down the distances to big-
league cities.
From San Juan, Puerto Rico to Miami _ just
over 1,000 miles; to Tampa Bay 1,225
miles; to Atlanta 1,544 miles; to
Washington D.C. 1,553 miles.
In relative terms, thats in the ballpark with
the distance traveled by the Giants to play
teams in the NL Central Division. The dis-
tance from San Francisco to Chicago, for
example, is 1,860 miles.
Once again, this is just one writer postulat-
ing an in-a-perfect-world scenario. Chalk it
up to wanting to put an end to all the jokes
about how the U.S. wins the World Series
every year. In terms of reality though, its only
a matter of time before the WBC gets serious
about considering an international venue to
host the tournaments championship round.
Based on venue capacity, the Tokyo Dome
would be a likely choice. The facility opened
in 1988, and seats upwards of 55,000. One
glaring problem from the perspective of base-
ball purists though It is in fact a domed sta-
dium.
Deserving credence though is the idea that
competitors in the 2013 WBC are playing for
pinks. In other words, Tuesday nights winner
by virtue of the WBC crown should gar-
ner consideration for expanded hosting rights
in 2017. Puerto Rico hosted one round of pool
play this year, drawing 95,049 in attendance
over six games.
I think with the way that weve been play-
ing and performing in this tournament
hopefully the next one four years from now,
Puerto Rico can have one, maybe two
rounds, Rodriguez said. I mean, why not?
The rst one at the stadium, we would have
the support of the fans. When you have teams
that are coming from that area Latin
America, Central America I can picture a
lot of fans ying to Puerto Rico because its
so easy to get there. Theyre pretty much right
in the middle. I think it could be a very good
option.
And not to overdo it with distances from
Puerto Rico to baseball cities, but Puerto Rico
is closer in distance to its three Caribbean
neighbors the Dominican Republic (300
miles), Curacao (476 miles) and Venezuela
(550 miles) than San Francisco is to fellow
NL West towns Arizona or Colorado.
Just food for though on theorizing about a
future MLB Caribbean Division.

FINAL
Sports brief
By Janie McCauley
SAN FRANCISCO This time, the
Dominicans didnt let the Netherlands inter-
fere with their road to the World Baseball
Classic championship.
Late lineup addition Moises Sierra hit a
tying RBI double in the fth, Jose Reyes
added a go-ahead single two batters later and
the Dominican Republic reached the WBC
nal with a 4-1 win against the Netherlands on
Monday night.
Edwin Encarnacion had an RBI single as
the undefeated Dominicans survived a rocky
start from winner Edinson Volquez, who ben-
eted from Sierras catch over the left-eld
wall in foul territory to end a rst-inning
threat.
Now, its Dominican Republic vs. Puerto
Rico, Take Two, for the title. The teams will
play Tuesday at AT&T Park just three days
after the Dominicans (7-0) won Saturday in
Miami before each club ew West.
One of these proud island nations will get to
throw quite a party.
Tuesdays winner will earn the distinction
of world champion for the rst time in the
three-event history of the WBC.
Puerto Rico eliminated two-time defending
Classic champion Japan 3-1 on Sunday night.
Fernando Rodney nished Mondays game for
his sixth save as dozens of seagulls swirled
right above the eld.
Players rushed out of the dugout as fans
chanted Dominicana! Dominicana!
The Dominicans were still fuming four
years after the Netherlands beat them twice in
the 2009 WBCs rst round for a stunning
early exit. They were a pair of one-run games
played in San Juan, Puerto Rico, including 3-
1 in 11 innings of an elimination contest.
Former Oakland and San Francisco short-
stop Miguel Tejada earned a start at third base
and singled twice and scored a run. He drew
cheers from the Bay Area fans during pregame
introductions.
Andruw Jones hit a two-out single in the
fourth for the rst Dutch hit against Volquez,
who yielded Wladimir Balentiens rst-inning
RBI groundout before settling in to earn the
win.
Carlos Santana hit a one-out double in the
fth and Sierra followed with an RBI double
as the Dominicans tied the game at 1 and later
chased Netherlands starter Diegomar
Markwell.
The Dutch lefty, who came in at a 2-0 with
a 0.90 ERA in his two previous WBC outings,
didnt allow a runner past rst base through
four innings. But his pitch count quickly went
up in a four-run fth as the Dominicans
tagged him for ve hits, so that was it consid-
ering the WBC pitch limit is 95.
Tom Stuifbergen replaced Markwell with
two outs in the fth and threw a wild pitch on
his rst offering to Robinson Cano, allowing
Reyes to score from third for an insurance run.
Cano batting 15 for 29 (.517) this tour-
nament with two home runs, six RBIs, ve
runs scored and two doubles went 1 for 2
with two intentional walks.
The second baseman and Yankees star made
a pretty stop on Roger Bernadinas sharp
grounder in the sixth in which he lunged left
then spun and threw to rst.
Now, Netherlands manager Hensley
Meulens will head back to the desert for his
other gig: hitting coach of the defending
World Series champion San Francisco Giants.
The Dutch-born Meulens mother is
Dominican, so he had fans on both sides for
this one.
About half of Meulens roster is from
Holland and the others from his native island
of Curacao. He warned his team that the
Dominicans had all the big names and the
major league experience, but not to let it affect
the Dutch doing what got them this far: play-
ing solid, fundamental baseball.

Doctors: Keep eye on
possible concussions
By Malcolm Ritter
NEW YORK When athletes are suspected of having a
concussion, they should be taken out of action immediately,
new guidelines from a major medical group say.
The American Academy of Neurology said athletes should-
nt resume playing until theyve been fully evaluated and
cleared by a doctor or other professional with concussion
expertise.
The recommendations issued Monday generally agree with
a brief position paper the academy issued in 2010, but add
details on evaluation and management. The guidelines are
based on a comprehensive review of scientific research.
Sports concussions have gained a new public focus in
recent years because of concern over the risk of developing
long-term mental impairment. Thousands of former pro foot-
ball players are suing the NFL and its teams, saying that for
years the NFL did not do enough to protect players from con-
cussions.
The new advice replaces guidelines published 15 years
ago. Those recommended grading the severity of concus-
sions at the time of injury to determine possible time frames
for return to play. Now the group emphasizes more individ-
ualized assessment and management of the injury.
Research showed the grading system didnt relate to out-
come, and that nobody can predict how long recovery will
take, explained Dr. Christopher Giza of the University of
California, Los Angeles, an author of the new guidelines.
The new document says athletes should not be allowed
back in action if they show any symptoms. And it says ath-
letes of high school age or younger with a diagnosed con-
cussion should be managed more conservatively than older
athletes when it comes to allowing a return to play.
Dr. David Dodick, a concussion expert at the Mayo Clinic
in Phoenix who was familiar with highlights of the new doc-
ument, said they contain no great revelations beyond what
experts know already. He noted that the guidelines state that
the first 10 days after a concussion are the period of highest
risk for being diagnosed with a second concussion, and that
younger athletes take longer to recover from the injury.
Since getting a second concussion before the first is healed
can lead to a long period of disabling symptoms, that is good
guidance for doctors who have to decide when young ath-
letes can return to play, he said in a telephone interview.

WASHINGTON Pricey robotic
surgery shouldnt be the first or even
second choice for most women who
need a hysterectomy, says advice
issued Thursday to doctors who help
those women decide.
The preferred method: Operate
through the vagina, using standard
tools rather than a robot, said Dr. James
Breeden, president of the American
College of Obstetricians and
Gynecologists.
Increasingly, women are seeing ads
that say a robot could help their doctor
perform a hysterectomy more easily.
And Breeden said doctors are reporting
patients who demand that approach or
say theyll take their business else-
where.
But for routine hysterectomies, the
vaginal method lets women leave the
hospital just as quickly, without spend-
ing nearly as much money, Breeden
said Thursday in a statement setting
out the position of the nations largest
group of OB/GYNs.
When thats not possible, a laparo-
scopic hysterectomy so-called key-
hole surgery, operating through a few
small incisions in the abdomen is
the second least invasive and costly
option, he said.
It is important to separate the mar-
keting hype from the reality when con-
sidering the best surgical approach,
Breeden said, adding: There is no
good data proving that robotic hys-
terectomy is even as good as, let alone
better than, existing and far less costly
minimally invasive alternatives.
The robotic method is similar to that
keyhole operation except the doctor
uses a computer to control robotic arms
that hold the surgical tools, theoretical-
OB/GYNs told that robotic
hysterectomy not best option
Pricey robotic surgery shouldnt be the rst or even second choice for most women who need a hysterectomy, says advice
issued to doctors who help those women decide.

ly easier to move in tight quarters.
Breeden said there may be advantages
to robotic techniques for unusual and
complex clinical conditions, such as
cancer operations that require extensive
surgery to nd and remove lymph nodes
but that needs additional research.
About 600,000 U.S. women a year
undergo a hysterectomy. Traditionally,
doctors removed the uterus through a
large abdominal incision that meant a
long recovery. Today, minimally inva-
sive surgery is encouraged although
many women still get the older open
surgery for a variety of reasons.
Thursdays statement is sure to prove
controversial with doctors who have
embraced the technology. But it comes
after a major study last month found
robotic surgery adds at least $2,000 to
the cost of a hysterectomy without
improving outcomes. Breeden said
another study found surgeons perform
50 to 90 robotic hysterectomies before
becoming as good at it as they are with
other minimally invasive methods.
Manufacturer Intuitive Surgical Inc.
said its da Vinci robot system allows
some women who otherwise would
need an old-fashioned open hysterecto-
my because of obesity, scarring or
other complexities to instead have a
smaller operation.

Thursday, the board will vote to change to
electing representatives by district. If
approved, the plan will go before the
California Community Colleges Board of
Governors for the nal OK to be used this
November.
The move follows the November decision
by San Mateo County voters to elect members
of the Board of Supervisors by district. In this
instance, California Education Code allows
the district elections to be changed through a
vote by the board. If approved, the change
would go into effect this November.
Using that timeline, current trustees would
nish out their terms but those with terms end-
ing in 2013 would need to live within the new
districts to seek re-election. This year, repre-
sentatives from areas 1 and 2 would be elect-
ed. In 2015, representatives from areas 3, 4
and 5 would be elected, according to the pro-
posal before the board.
Heres what the proposed boundaries would
include: Area 1 Daly City, Colma, Brisbane
and parts of South San Francisco; Area 2
San Bruno, Millbrae, Pacica and portions of
both Hillsborough and South San Francisco;
Area 3 Burlingame, San Mateo and por-
tions of Hillsborough; Area 4 San Carlos,
Menlo Park east of Highway 101, East Palo
Alto and most of Redwood City; and Area 5
the coastside south of Pacica, Woodside,
Portola Valley, Atherton, Foster City, Belmont
and a portion of Redwood Shores.
If approved, changing the boundaries will
mean new blood on the board in the coming
years since two of the trustees will now live in
the same districts. Board President Helen
Hausman, an Atherton resident, and Trustee
Patricia Miljanich, who lives in Belmont, will
both live in Area 5. Hausman and Trustee
Richard Holober, whose terms end this year,
will be the rst incumbents to possibly run
under the new rules. But, for Hausman, her
new district will not hold an election until
2015.
The district oversees three colleges and
serves more than 40,000 students annually.
Trustees for the ve-member board are not
required to live within a certain geographic
area or district. The differences in the two sys-
tems are primarily how many voters a candi-
date needs to convince and how much money
it will cost to run. At-large elections ask voters
to choose board members to represent the
entire county instead of just the district from
which they are elected. Proponents argue this
makes members more accountable to all voters
and limits factions on the board. Opponents,
however, say the system tends to be more
expensive because of the countywide cam-
paigning required.
The California Voting Rights Act allows
challenges to come from any voter for at-large
election. Not changing could open the district
up to a lawsuit. Recently, the county reached a
settlement on a similar lawsuit.
In February, both the Board of Supervisors
and the six residents who sued agreed to settle
the matter by redrawing district lines. The law-
suit, led in April 2011, claimed the then-
existing countywide system diluted minority
votes and proved a barrier to Latino and Asian
candidates securing county ofce. Last year,
the Board of Supervisors agreed to ask voters
what method they wanted and a ruling in the
court case was postponed until after Election
Day. County ofcials and their legal represen-
tatives had argued the lawsuit was moot after
voters in November passed Measure B, a char-
ter change amendment to let voters of each
specic district choose their individual super-
visor. Under the terms of the settlement, an
independent nine-person committee of public
ofcials and residents will reset the boundaries
to be used for future supervisorial elections.
At the same meeting, the board will consid-
er starting a district-wide athletic eld replace-
ment program. The districts eight athletic
elds were installed in 2004 and are reaching
the end of their life expectancy, according to a
staff report from Chancellor Ron Galatolo.
The plan calls for the elds to be replaced, in
phases, over two years starting in May 2013
and nishing in May 2015. For the rst phase,
the board will consider approving two con-
tracts: $469,860 to Field Turf Tarkett to update
the lower soccer eld at Skyline College and
$531,889 to Hellas Sports Construction for the
football eld at the College of San Mateo.
After the projects are complete, the district
will review the work before making decisions
about other elds.
The board meets 6 p.m. Thursday, March 21
at the District Ofce board room, 3401 CSM
Drive, San Mateo.

BOARD
there is such strong evidence, said defense
attorney Ryan McHugh.
Prosecutors called the settlement good
especially because none of the victims have
to testify in a trial.
Hamm pleaded no contest in December to
possessing child pornography, three counts
of meeting with a child for the purpose of a
lewd act, three counts of oral copulation
with a child under 16 and two counts of
sodomy with a child. McHugh unsuccessful-
ly sought time served coupled with strict
supervision and therapy and, after sentenc-
ing, said Hamm knows he needs help.
He needs professional treatment and
wants eventually to help others with sexual
compulsion and addiction, McHugh said.
Hes deeply apologetic to his victims and
understands that its him that got himself
into this situation and no one else.
Hamm, a former volunteer with the
Peninsula Metropolitan Community Church
in San Mateo, has since been suspended. He
was arrested by South San Francisco police
in June after an officer posing as a young
boy responded to his online posting seeking
horny skater boys. Over several weeks, the
two reportedly exchanged emails including
graphic photographs from Hamm and a
detective who met him at a prearranged spot
reported him having a backpack full of sex
toys, lubricant and child pornography.
He was prepared to post bail when inves-
tigators located another alleged victim who
was 14 when he responded to a 2009
Craigslist ad posted by Hamm. In that case,
Hamm allegedly responded to the boys
advertisement and investigators have sever-
al emails between them detailing the con-
duct. The email also reportedly included
references to former Penn State assistant
coach and convicted sex offender Jerry
Sandusky.
He was also charged in the case of a 15-
year-old boy who allegedly met Hamm in
October 2010 and continued a relationship
with him through his June 22 arrest.
He has been in custody in lieu of $500,000
bail and earned credit of 540 days against
his prison term.

according to the complaint.
Quentin Kopp, who previously served as
chair of the rail authority, drafted the legisla-
tion in 1996 that actually created the
California High-Speed Rail Authority, sub-
mitted a declaration against the rail authoritys
present course last week.
In his declaration, Kopp writes that the proj-
ect has evolved, under the 2012 business plan,
so that it is no longer a genuine high-speed
rail system.
Instead, it has been distorted in a way
directly contrary to the high-speed rail plan
the authority attempted to implement while I
was chairman, namely, a true HSR system. ...
Accordingly, it is my opinion the project is not
lawfully eligible to receive Proposition 1A
bond funds, Kopp wrote in the declaration.
One of the main problems with the authori-
tys revised business plan
is that it intends to con-
struct 130 miles of conven-
tional diesel railroad tracks
in the Central Valley,
Brady told the Daily
Journal yesterday.
A true high-speed rail
project will cost more than
$100 billion money
that will never materialize,
Brady said.
Proposition 1A commits $9.95 billion
toward the statewide project with about $950
million set aside to assist local commuter lines
such as Caltrain and Metrolink in Southern
California.
The state has already committed $750 mil-
lion to modernize just the Caltrain corridor to
electrify the tracks that high-speed trains are
expected to share mostly on a two-track sys-
tem.
Originally, a four-track aerial viaduct was
proposed from San Jose to San Francisco but
that idea was scrapped for the blended system
nearly two years ago when it was rst pro-
posed by Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-
Menlo Park, U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Palo
Alto, and Joe Simitian, former state senator
who is now a Santa Clara County supervisor.
Simitian, however, eventually voted against
funding the high-speed rail project in a con-
tentious vote.
The current project has no hope of attract-
ing private investment and Congress will not
likely support the project nancially going
forward, Brady said.
The problem with the blended system,
Kopp said, is that it will limit the number of
high-speed trains that will access San
Francisco, putting ridership projections in
jeopardy.
The blended system will also not meet
Proposition 1As mandate that the trip from
San Francisco to Los Angeles take just 2
hours and 40 minutes, Kopp said.
The proposition also requires that the sys-
tem operate without a subsidy.
It will of course need a subsidy, Kopp told
the Daily Journal Monday.
The foundation for the rail authoritys rider-
ship forecast is to get as many high-speed
trains into San Francisco per hour as possible
and the blended system will not allow for it,
Kopp said.
The consequence, Kopp said, is that the rail
authority will lose the ability to nancially
generate enough revenue to pay for the sys-
tems operational cost.
To me, the authority chairman during all
the planning and pre-Nov. 4, 2008 efforts
regarding the bond measure, this constitutes
the greatest betrayal of all in the context of the
original intent and promises to voters. The
project, as now planned rather than what was
promised, constitutes a distortion and man-
gling of Californias HSR project and promis-
es to California voters, Kopp wrote in the
declaration.

July.
Ofcials are now on track to sell $3.7 bil-
lion of the bonds. That includes $2.6 billion
for high-speed rail and another $1.1 billion for
improving existing commuter rail systems in
Northern and Southern California.
Lawmakers appropriated the $3.7 billion
last year, but the Legislature would have to act
again to appropriate the remainder of the $8.6
billion before the entire amount can be issued.
The six-member board authorized selling
the bonds on a 5-0 vote, without debate and
with one member absent. Timing of the sale
will now be set by the governor, attorney gen-
eral and state treasurer, though the rst oppor-
tunity to sell the bonds will be this fall, said
Tom Dresslar, spokesman for Treasurer Bill
Lockyer.
Its another step towards the process of
breaking ground on the nations rst high-
speed rail system in California this summer,
authority Chairman Dan Richard said after the
vote.
The project still must withstand lawsuits
that have court hearings in coming months.
They include a hearing April 19 over the pro-
jects environmental impacts, while a May 31
hearing will consider whether the funds meet
the requirements set by voters when they
approved the high-speed rail program in 2008.
Adverse rulings in those lawsuits could stall
the bond money, though Richard said ground-
breaking can proceed using $3.3 billion in
federal matching funds.
The rst full segment of the $68 billion rail
line will run from Madera to Bakerseld. The
project eventually is supposed to link
Northern and Southern California with trains
traveling up to 220 mph.
Contractors have submitted bids to design
and build the rst $1.8 billion, 30-mile stretch
of track. The bids from ve international
design teams will be opened later this spring,
Richard said. The authority also is in the
process of negotiating to buy land for the pro-
jects right of way.
Everything about this project is ambi-
tious, Richard said, but he predicted the
authority will meet its construction timetable.
Interest payments on the entire amount
would cost the state an estimated $700 million
a year for 35 years, but at least the $175 mil-
lion in annual debt payments on the initial
bonds would come from fees paid by com-
mercial truckers, not from the states general
fund, Richard said. He said it is not clear if the
overweight fees from truckers would cover
the entire amount.
Not all the bonds will be sold at once, said
state Department of Finance spokesman H.D.
Palmer. In fact, you dont want to sell them
all now it would be like drinking out of a
re hydrant.
Several speakers challenged the timing of
the authorization during the boards public
comment period, asking why the board was
acting on the bulk of the bonds approved by
voters now when it could be years before the
money is needed. Kevin Dayton, a public pol-
icy consultant from Roseville, questioned
whether the board was rushing to beat the out-
come of the lawsuits attempting to block the
railroad.
Thats the obvious question that comes
up, Dayton said. I think its reasonable to
assume theyre very worried about it.
But Richard said the board was merely
being efcient by authorizing all the bonds
now, so it would not have to revisit the issue
in coming years.
The authority would have to comply with a
court order no matter what steps it has taken,
he said, and state ofcials are unlikely to issue
the bonds until they are satised that they will
not be blocked by the courts.
We have to resolve those issues before the
court and we are very condent about that,
Richard said. I think until those matters are
resolved, Im not sure the treasurer would go
forward with this.

bags, she said. [The ordinance] helps
the store and helps out the environment
and gets people educated.
The ordinance that is being adopted
by most cities which is based on one
that was passed by the county and
enacted in unincorporated areas last
year will require grocery stores to
use paper bags made of at least 40 per-
cent post-consumer recycled materials.
Stores must charge at least 10 cents per
paper bag.
If anything, its going to help busi-
nesses, said Chris Delios, manager of
Trags Market in San Mateo.
Charging 10 cents per paper bag will
cut store costs.
Right now, we are giving away
bags, he said.
Delios has heard that, for some places
that enacted reusable bag ordinances, it
has taken a year for customers to adjust.
Trags already sells some reusable
bags, and is working on other alterna-
tives to make the transition a smooth
one, he said.
Theres going to be a learning curve
for some, said Melvin Prasad, manager
of Neelan Pacic Market in San Bruno.
If his customers bring their own bags,
it will cut the stores cost for bags.
In a way it helps the business, and it
helps the environment too, he said.
Prasad knows that San Jose and
Millbrae have already enacted similar
ordinances. So, the change will not
come as a huge shock to customers, he
said.
The city has been pretty cool about
communicating to businesses about the
change, he said.
Stores that are found to be not com-
pliant with the ordinance can be ned
up to $500, according the county ordi-
nance.
But the city has acknowledged that
there will be a learning curve for cus-
tomers and store owners when the ordi-
nance takes effect, said Prasad.
[City ofcials are] not going to come
in and slap you with a ne the next day,
he said.
Frank Jordan, owner of Besans
International Market in San Bruno, is
concerned about nding a new company
from where to buy bags.
We dont know where to get paper
bags, he said.
The San Mateo County Health
System website does provide a list of
recycled and reusable bag suppliers for
retailers reference.
The county ordinance does have a few
exceptions for plastic bags for items
such as produce, meat and pharmaceuti-
cals. Some establishments are exempt,
including restaurants and nonprofits
such as Goodwill.
Plastic reusable?
The city of San Mateo is aiming to
enact the regional ordinance June 6.
Shoppers at the Safeway at 17th
Avenue and El Camino Real in San
Mateo had mixed feelings about idea of
getting rid of plastic bags.
The problem is weve been doing it
for forty years, said Matthew Cinquini,
as he loaded plastic bags into the trunk
of his car. He thinks banning plastic
across the board would be more effec-
tive and less confusing than the pro-
posed ordinance.
Cinquini has tried reusable bags, but
found sanitation to be a problem.
It just got lthy and smelly, he said.
But Ted Gonez, who carried his gro-
ceries out in his own bags, said it is easy
to wash his cloth bags.
Im all for it, said Dan Holster, as he
loaded plastic bags into his trunk. He
would not mind spending a few extra
bucks on reusable bags. Its better for
the landll if we bring reusable bags.
As she loaded plastic and paper bags
into her car parked in front of Trags,
Constance Sweeney explained that
while she does not need plastic bags in
her home, other people do.
Im a bit split, she said. For certain
communities [the ordinance] is not a
good idea.
Plastic grocery bags are a cheap way
to get rid of wet waste, she said.
Some plastic bags are recyclable, she
said, as she looked at the bottom of one
of her plastic bags and pointed to a recy-
cling symbol.
She thinks plastic bags should be an
option, as long as people recycle
them.
County works with business
The county is working with cities and
business associations to help merchants
transition, said Dean Peterson, director
of Environmental Health for San Mateo
County.
The county has sent toolkits to every
retailer, containing fact sheets and iers,
to educate the public, he said.
Peterson acknowledged that the paper
bags that will be allowed under the new
ordinance are slightly more expensive
than the types of bags retailers currently
use.
However, they will be able to sell
that bag for a minimum of 10 cents, he
said. The retailers keep that 10 cents
and, in addition, that 10 cents is not tax-
able.
The regional ordinance will require
retailers to keep records of how many
paper bags they buy and sell. This will
help the county to better assess the
impact of the program, said Peterson.
Keeping track of the bags will be an
easy task for larger stores that use a
scan-code system. And the county will
assist the smaller stores that have less
automated systems, he said.
We want to make it as easy and sim-
ple for businesses as possible, he said.
For retailers stuck with plastic bags
after ordinance takes effect in their city,
there are a number of options.
Retailers can return the bags to the
companies they purchased from, sell the
bags to other counties or donate the
bags to nonprot organizations and get
a tax deduction. Many nonprots have
expressed interest in taking plastic bag
donations, he said.
All of the cities in the county have
taken action in accordance with the
countys regional plan, except Millbrae,
which enacted its own ordinance last
year, and Woodside, which is going in
its own direction, said Peterson.
This truly has been a regional
approach, he said.
This broad implementation will help
consumers and businesses to avoid con-
fusion from city to city.
I personally on a Saturday morning
can shop in up to three cities, said
Peterson.
While the vast majority of comments
on the ordinance are positive, Peterson
has heard a few concerns from people
who reuse plastic bags for trash or dog
waste.
And as an environmental health direc-
tor, Peterson felt the need to explore the
health concerns surrounding reusable
bags. He found that washing reusable
bags alleviates any sanitation issues.
Many cities will enact the ban on
April 22, Earth Day.
This Earth Day well be giving the
San Francisco Bay and the Pacific
Ocean the best present theyve received
in years, he said.
The following San Mateo County
cities are moving toward enacting the
ordinance: Belmont, Brisbane,
Burlingame, Colma, Daly City, East
Palo Alto, Foster City, Half Moon Bay,
Menlo Park, Millbrae, Pacica, Portola
Valley, Redwood City, San Bruno, San
Carlos, San Mateo, South San
Francisco and Woodside. Hillsborough

PisCEs (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Our close friends
often have a strong infuence on us, and youre no
different. If your companions have poor judgment,
youre likely to follow them down a blind alley.
ariEs (March 21-April 19) -- Disappointment is
likely if you expect your co-workers to do certain
jobs, duties or responsibilities that were assigned to
you. Either be self-reliant or offer to do something
for them in return.
TaUrUs (April 20-May 20) -- Youre still not out of
the woods when it comes to a fnancial obligation,
so continue to be prudent in the management of
your resources. Dont take the approach of solvency
as a sign to spend.
GEmini (May 21-June 20) -- Wanting to be your
own person is credible, provided youre not overly
insistent. Dont make everyone else miserable by
only having it your way.
CanCEr (June 21-July 22) -- Because youve
based your evaluations on logical assumptions, your
conclusions have been pretty accurate so far. Dont
start to rely upon instincts or emotions that could be
misleading.

get something from someone whom youve refused
to help in the past.
VirGo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can make a good
impression on another if you act natural and be
yourself. Conversely, if you attempt to convey an
image that is false, youll get bad reviews.
LiBra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- It wont be enough to
just feel compassion if a friend comes to you for
help. You need to help in ways that put substance

sCorPio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- When with a group
of friends, dont think they wont pick up on your
longings to be elsewhere if you cant simply enjoy
the moment. Either relax or leave.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Robert Allen Martin
Case Number: 123130
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Robert Allen Martin. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by Li-
sa Jeanine Damestoy Effandi in the Su-
perior Court of California, County of San
Mateo. The Petition for Probate requests
that Lisa Jeanine Damestoy Effandi be
appointed as personal representative to
administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests that the decedents
will and codicils, if any, be admitted to
probate. The will and any codicils are
available for examination in the file kept
by the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: April 10, 2013 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. Probate, Superior Court
of California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063. If you object to the granting of
the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
203 Public Notices
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.
