SAN FRANCISCO California
regulators recommended Monday
that Pacic Gas & Electric Co. pay
a record $2.25 billion fine for
decades of negligence that led to a
deadly gas pipeline explosion
that leveled a San Bruno neighbor-
hood.
The penalty would be the largest
ever imposed on a utility company
by a state regulator, ofcials said.
The California Public Utilities
Commissions investigators said
the ne was an appropriate remedy
for dozens of safety violations
extending back several decades,
and said the companys sharehold-
ers should shoulder the cost, not
the utilitys customers.
This is going to send a very
strong deterrent message to PG&E
that this kind of conduct and cul-
ture will not be tolerated, said
Brig. Gen. Jack Hagan, director of
the commissions Safety and
Enforcement Division. They
have just plain failed to follow
safety standards in so many
areas.
The 2010 pipeline rupture in
San Bruno sparked a gas-fueled
reball that killed eight people,

appeal does
not hold water
Council sends development
back to Planning Commission
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
In a move that opponents consider vindication of their
efforts, the Redwood City Council last night decided a sig-
nicantly amended development proposal needs reconsider-
ation by the Planning Commission and opted not to con-
sider an appeal of the original plan.
The council was scheduled Monday night to hear the
appeal that had been postponed earlier this year until after a
state agency reviewed the developers plan which included
turning the existing commercial marina into a private facil-
ity for residents of the planned 411 residential units.
Developer Paul Powers has since agreed to keep the marina
open to the public which councilmembers said is reason
Ice rink fans cool to
impending closure
Bridgepointe ownership considering other
recreational amenities as a replacement
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Ice Center of San Mateo supporters have been urging the
City Council and staff for months to help them keep the
rink in place at the Bridgepointe Shopping Center in com-
pliance with its master plan.
Last night, a group of them showed up to tell the council
in person that the city has failed them and that they should
not side toward increased tax revenue over the need for chil-
dren to play hockey or gure skate. The item was not on last
BILL SILVERFARB/DAILY JOURNAL
Several projects are underway or about to be in San Mateo including the widening of sidewalks on Delaware Street,a fencing
project to protect the San Mateo Creek and improvements to the Japanese Tea Garden in Central Park and nearby paths.
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Mateo has a number of projects
either underway or in the works that
city ofcials say should improve the
quality of life for its residents.
It involves several departments
working together with the community
to improve safety, road conditions and
recreational amenities among other
enhancements planned this year and in
the near future.
A new playground is planned for
Beresford Park after a design is chosen
this summer, wider sidewalks and bicy-
cle lanes are being constructed now on
Delaware Street near Concar Drive and
new fencing is planned at select spots
around San Mateo Creek to keep out
those you currently use it as their own
garbage can or to do drugs.
In downtown, several bicycle racks
have already been installed and, at
nearby Central Park, workers are busy
now improving the paths around the
Japanese Tea Garden, which will host a
50th anniversary celebration with San
Mateos sister city Toyonaka, Japan in
August.
The City Council has also pledged
millions of dollars over the next few
years to repave some of the citys
worst roads, said Matt Bronson, the
citys interim streets and facilities
manager.
The city spends about $4 million a
year for street improvements but the
City tackles projects to improve quality of life

Nice-inch copter lands
in arms of Ohio court statue
MARION, Ohio An unwanted
modern addition has flown into the
arms of a Lady Justice statue that sits
atop a county courthouse in north-
central Ohio.
A 9-inch, remote-control helicop-
ter flew into Lady Justice on the
Marion County Courthouse on April
27 and has been there since rest-
ing on the hilt of her sword more
than 100 feet high.
Video producer Terry Cline tells the
Marion Star that he was using the
$1,500 camera-equipped helicopter
to shoot a promotional video for the
city when it was caught by an unex-
pected breeze.
Since then, Cline has been trying
figure out how to get the helicopter
back.
County officials say they wont
pay to remove it or risk anyones life
for it.
For now, Lady Justice gets to keep
her new toy.
Small school closes
because of nice weather
SEATTLE In a sun-deprived part
of Washington state, the promise of
nice spring weather prompted a small
private school to give students a day
off to enjoy the sunshine.
Friday is a sun day of sorts for
the 205 students at Bellingham
Christian School, a small, private,
nondenominational Christian school
in Bellingham, Wash., about 90
miles north of Seattle.
SCHOOL CANCELLED DUE TO
GREAT WEATHER! WAHOOO! the
schools website announced
Thursday night. Yeah! Its a Sun Day
today and everyone gets the day off
from school.
Principal Bob Sampson said he
wanted to give students some time to
re-energize and enjoy the weather,
adding that he wanted to re-create the
excitement snow days get among the
kids. He began teasing the possibili-
ty of giving the day off earlier in the
week.
In a world thats got a lot hard
things going, its fun to create a
moment of joy, Sampson said.
The forecast for Western
Washington called for a weekend of
sunshine, with highs hitting the low
80s in some parts of the region on
Sunday.
Gerbils strut their
stuff at New England pageant
BEDFORD, Mass. The American
Gerbil Societys annual pageant
brought dozens of rodents scurrying
to New England this weekend for a
chance to win top gerbil.
The Bedford competition called for
agility demonstrations in which the
gerbils must overcome obstacles and
race to the end of a course. Breeders
of the small animals vie for coveted
ribbons based on body type and
agility.
A male gerbil should be a good,
strong, hefty-looking gerbil, said
Libby Hanna, president of the
American Gerbil Society. If you are
going to think of it in human terms,
you might think of a football player
somebody whos big, thick neck,
nice, strong-looking male gerbil.
An ideal female gerbil will have a
more streamlined appearance that
even humans covet, she said.
So she would be strong and athlet-
ic-looking not really scrawny, but
slim, said Hanna, who serves as a
judge in the show. I usually use a
figure skater as my mental image or
gymnasts so obviously a gymnast
is not necessarily a big, big woman,
but shes gonna be strong, muscular
and athletic.
The Friday-Saturday show drew ger-
bil enthusiasts and breeders from
around the country and culminates in
the presentation of champion and
breeder certificates.
Fourteen-year-old Sarah Kaden
from Bordentown, N.J., thinks ger-
bils have great personalities.
Even though they are so little,
they are very different from each
other and they smell a lot less than
my brothers hamsters, she said
Friday.

Limo driver: Fire took three
minutes to claim five lives
By Martha Mendoza and Garance Burke
First came the tapping. Over the blasting
music, limo driver Orville Brown heard
someone in the backseat knock on the parti-
tion behind him, saying something about
smoke. No smoking allowed, he told the
crowd of partying women.
Then the taps turned to urgent knocks, and
someone screamed Smoke, smoke and
Pull over!
In just a few eeting moments, ve of the
women celebrating a girls night out were
killed by ames that overtook the luxury car
with terrifying speed.
As smoke thickened in the passenger com-
partment, Brown pulled the white stretch
limo to a stop on a bridge over San Francisco
Bay and started pulling women out through
the partition that separated him from his pas-
sengers.
Three good Samaritans, including a re-
ghter, stopped to help. The rst woman
who got out ran to the back and yanked open
a door, but Brown said it was already too
late.
I knew it wasnt a good scene. I gured
with all that re that they were gone, man,
Brown said. There were just so many ames.
Within maybe 90 seconds, the car was fully
engulfed.
From the rst tap on the window until the
rear of car became an inferno couldnt have
taken more than three minutes, Brown said.
Authorities searched for answers Monday,
hoping to learn what sparked the blaze and
why ve of the victims could not escape the
fast-spreading ames.
The women who were killed in the Saturday
night blaze were found pressed up against the
3-foot by 1 1/2-foot partition, apparently
because smoke and re kept them from the
rear exits of the extended passenger compart-
ment.
The position of the bodies suggested they
were trying to get away from the re, said San
Mateo County Coroner Robert Foucrault.
The women were celebrating the wedding
of a newlywed friend, Neriza Fojas, who
was among the dead.
Fojas and another of the fatalities,
Michelle Estrera, were nurses at Community
Regional Medical Center in Fresno. The
remaining three victims have not been iden-
tied.
The medical centers CEO, Jack Chubb,
said in a statement Monday that Fojas and
Estrera were outstanding nurses, loved by
their patients, colleagues and staff.
Both were good friends, stellar nurses and
excellent mentors who served as preceptors
to new nurses, he said. Well dearly miss
these two special people who have touched
our lives.
A relative of Fojas said the young nurse
was preparing to get her masters degree and
was planning a large second wedding in the
Philippines.
Christina Kitts said Monday that Fojas
lived in Hawaii while she reviewed for her
nursing exam, then took a job in Oakland for
two years before moving to Fresno, where
she had been a nurse at Community Regional
Medical Center for a year.

California crews mop
up wildfire as rain falls
CAMARILLO Rain showers moved across Southern
California on Monday, dousing remnants of a wildre that
blackened thousands of acres in coastal mountains and
bringing much-needed moisture to a region left parched by
a dry winter.
The 44-square-mile burn area in the western Santa Monica
Mountains was 80 percent surrounded, and firefighters
worked in muddy and slippery conditions to complete con-
tainment.
Ventura County Fire spokesman Tony McHale said the wet
weather signicantly reduced re activity. There were no
remaining open ames, but reghters remained on the
lookout for are-ups, he said.
The second-striker committed to a
state hospital after he allegedly hit his
stepbrother in the head with a hammer
over alleged images of his girlfriend is
now competent to stand trial, accord-
ing to doctors at the facility.
Lawrence Lee Bufngton, 47, has
been at Napa State Hospital since
December after two court-appointed
doctors found him unable to aid in his
own defense against charges of felony
assault, assault with force, making
criminal threats and violating his
parole. Criminal proceedings will now
be reinstated unless the defense con-
tests the competen-
cy finding and
requests a trial.
Redwood City
police arrested
Buffington in June
2012 after being
told by his hospital-
ized stepbrother that
the man had struck
him in the head with
the tool during an
argument. The victim also told authori-
ties Bufngton accused him of having
an affair with his girlfriend after nd-
ing a photograph.
However, Bufngtons girlfriend pre-
viously told the Daily Journal
Bufngtons stepbrother was the one
who asked him to move in to his
Redwood City residence. She said
Bufngton also told her immediately
after the confrontation that he had
found videos and photographs of his
stepbrother harming her. The woman
said there was no truth to anything in
the alleged images and she had not seen
anything herself.
The victim, who suffered a fractured
skull, was treated at Sequoia Hospital,
whose staff alerted police.
Bufngton remains in custody with-
out bail.

The county Board of Supervisors
this morning will declare May as
CalFresh Awareness Month to high-
light the food stamp program and
increase access and participation.
The Human Services Agency has
planned a host of events throughout
May to promote the program including
communities meetings, a radio show
and resource fairs.
This is one of the most expensive
places to live in the state and it is very
difcult for many working families to
be economically self-sufcient, HSA
Director Beverly Beasley Johnson said
in a prepared statement. The CalFresh
program is available for all eligible
participants and we want to get the
word out to help our residents put
healthy food on their tables.
CalFresh participation in San Mateo
County has risen from 16,085 partici-
pants in December 2009 to 28,103
participants in December 2012. For
more information on eligibility and
how to apply, call (800) 223-8383 or

Molestation
brings decade prison
A South San Francisco man was
immediately sentenced to 10 years in
prison on three counts of child
molestation rather than stand trial on
allegations he fondled his young
nieces and a cousin.
Salvador Palacio, 46, must also reg-
ister as a sex offender for life.
The girls mother
contacted the South
San Francisco Police
Department after the
children, ages 4 and
7, told her that
Palacio had stuck his
hand down their
pants on multiple
occasions between
August 2009 and
August 2010. The mother also reported
hearing about Palacio having done
something similar to another family
member years earlier and investigators
located a cousin, now 20, who said she
was molested by him at age 5.
Palacio faced life in prison if con-
victed by a jury because of the multiple
victim allegation.

San Bruno children from 3.5 t o
13 years old have been enjoying
summer camp in San Bruno
City Park, recreation center and
swimming pool for many years.
Some of the camps current lead-
ers were once campers them-
selves. The camp has a new addi-
tion to their program this year.
The San Bruno Education
Foundation in partnership with
the city of San Brunos
Recreat i on Di vi si on and the
San Bruno Park School
Di st ri ct, is funding the optional
Schol asti c Readi ng Counts
K-12 program, an independent
reading program that encourages
the success of a childs reading
progress.
Scholastic Reading Counts
motivates students with suggested
reading choices that match their
interests and reading levels, then
reinforces through testing com-
prehension, vocabulary and uen-
cy skills. The parent has the
option of sharing their childs
Reading Counts data with their
childs elementary school
teacher, which can help the
teacher better craft a lesson plan.
If the parent and student decide
to participate in Reading Counts
at the San Bruno Summer Camp,
known as Camp Kaleidoscope
(for children up to 10 years old),
or Adventure Camp (for chil-
dren between 10 and 13 years
old), on testing days camp lead-

Groups want details
on license plate readers
LOS ANGELES Two privacy rights
groups questioning law enforcements use of
automated license plate readers asked a judge
Monday to order the Los Angeles Police
Department and Los Angeles County Sheriffs
Department to provide more details on how
they use the technology.
The American Civil Liberties Union
Foundation of Southern California and the
Electronic Frontier Foundation led a writ
against the city, county and its law enforce-
ment departments after waiting more than
eight months for a complete response to pub-
lic records requests. The groups are seeking
one week of data collected by the readers,
which are usually mounted on police cars and
scan thousands of license plates in an of-
cers shift. The readers which collect the
license plate numbers, the time, date, GPS
location and a photo alert law enforcement
to stolen and wanted vehicles.
If youre not wanted for anything, it does-
nt do anything, said Los Angeles County
sheriffs Sgt. John Gaw, who works in the
advanced surveillance and protection unit. It
does collect that information, it does put it in
our database, and were able to go back and
review that information if youre wanted in
some type of criminal investigation.
State objects to moving
inmates because of fungus
SACRAMENTO California ofcials say
its premature to move more than 3,000
inmates out of two state prisons until more is
known about an airborne fungus that is being
blamed for nearly three-dozen inmate deaths.
The federal Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention agreed last week to study prob-
lems with valley fever at Avenal and Pleasant
Valley state prisons.
The state said in a court ling Monday
night that a federal judge should wait for the
centers recommendations before enforcing
an order last week by the federal ofcial who
controls prison medical care.

WASHINGTON Any day now, billions
of cicadas with bulging red eyes will crawl
out of the earth after 17 years underground
and overrun the East Coast. The insects will
arrive in such numbers that people from
North Carolina to Connecticut will be out-
numbered roughly 600-to-1. Maybe more.
Scientists even have a horror-movie name
for the infestation: Brood II. But as omi-
nous as that sounds, the insects are harm-
less. They wont hurt you or other animals.
At worst, they might damage a few saplings
or young shrubs. Mostly they will blanket
certain pockets of the region, though lots
of people wont ever see them.
Its not like these hordes of cicadas suck
blood or zombify people, says May
Berenbaum, a University of Illinois ento-
mologist.
Theyre looking for just one thing: sex.
And theyve been waiting quite a long time.
Since 1996, this group of 1-inch bugs, in
wingless nymph form, has been a few feet
underground, sucking on tree roots and bid-
ing their time. They will emerge only when
the ground temperature reaches precisely 64
degrees. After a few weeks up in the trees,
they will die and their offspring will go
underground, not to return until 2030.
Its just an amazing accomplishment,
Berenbaum says. How can anyone not be
impressed?
And they will make a big racket, too. The
noise all the male cicadas make when they
sing for sex can drown out your own
thoughts, and maybe even rival a rock con-
cert. In 2004, Gene Kritsky, an entomolo-
gist at the College of Mount St. Joseph in
Cincinnati, measured cicadas at 94 decibels,
saying it was so loud you dont hear planes
ying overhead.
There are ordinary cicadas that come out
every year around the world, but these are
different. Theyre called magicicadas as
in magic and are red-eyed. And these
magicicadas are seen only in the eastern
half of the United States, nowhere else in
the world.
There are 15 U.S. broods that emerge
every 13 or 17 years, so that nearly every
year, some place is overrun. Last year it was
a small area, mostly around the Blue Ridge
Mountains of Virginia, West Virginia and
Tennessee. Next year, two places get hit:
Iowa into Illinois and Missouri; and
Louisiana and Mississippi. And its possi-
ble to live in these locations and actually
never see them.
This years invasion, Brood II, is one of
the bigger ones. Several experts say that
they really dont have a handle on how many
cicadas are lurking underground but that 30
billion seems like a good estimate. At the
Smithsonian Institution, researcher Gary
Hevel thinks it may be more like 1 trillion.

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

Funeral Trends Indicate
Upswing in the Economy

WASHINGTON A bipartisan Senate
immigration bill would cost the govern-
ment a net $6.3 trillion over the next 50
years to provide benets for millions of
people now living in the U.S. illegally, the
Heritage Foundation said in a report
Monday, setting off a erce dispute with fel-
low conservatives who attacked the study as
awed and political.
The study from the prominent conserva-
tive think tank said immigrants granted new
legal status under the bill would eat up more
than $9 trillion in health, education, retire-
ment and other benets over their lifetime,
while contributing only around $3 trillion
in taxes. Republicans and conservative
groups who support the bill quickly coun-
tered that the study failed to measure broader
economic benefits from an immigration
overhaul, including a more robust workforce
that would boost the gross domestic prod-
uct.
The Heritage Foundation document is a
political document; its not a very serious
analysis, said former Mississippi gover-
nor Haley Barbour, a Republican whos part
of a task force with the nonprot Bipartisan
Policy Center that supports the bill. This
study is designed to try to scare conserva-
tive Republicans into thinking the cost
here is going to be so gigantic that you
cant possibly be for it.
Former Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., the
Heritage Foundations new president, dis-
missed such criticism.
Its clear a number of people in
Washington who might benefit from an
amnesty, as well as a number of people in
Congress, do not want to consider the
costs, DeMint said. No sensible thinking
person could read this study and conclude
that over 50 years that it could possibly
have a positive economic impact.
The brouhaha developed as both sides pre-
pare for the landmark bill to undergo its rst
tests later this week in the Senate Judiciary
Committee, which will begin voting on
amendments Thursday. It underscored the
high political stakes for both supporters
and opponents, as each jockeyed to dene
the legislation. And it laid bare splits with-
in the Republican Party, where business-
oriented leaders such as Barbour and anti-tax
activist Grover Norquist are pushing for
immigration reform, while more ideologi-
cally focused lawmakers and groups are
voicing increasingly loud opposition.
The Heritage report was a reprisal of a
study the group released at the height of the
last congressional debate on immigration,
in 2007, which said the bill being consid-
ered then would have cost $2.6 trillion.
That gure, too, was disputed, but it carried
weight with Republicans and helped lead to
the legislations eventual defeat in the
Senate.

BOSTON A Massachusetts funeral
director said Monday he has received bur-
ial offers from out-of-state cemeteries for
the body of a Boston Marathon bombing
suspect who was killed in a gun battle
with police, even as Tamerlan Tsarnaevs
mother told him she wants the body
returned to Russia.
But Worcester funeral home director
Peter Stefan said despite the request, he
doesnt think Russia
will take Tsarnaevs
body and he is working
on other arrangements.
He declined to be more
specific.
Meanwhile, a friend of
the surviving suspect in
the bombings was
released from federal
custody Monday amid a
swell of support from
family and friends, but was under strict
house arrest and only allowed to leave his
home to meet with lawyers and for true
emergencies. Also, the administrator of
the One Fund Boston released the protocol
for payouts of the fund, with the families
of those who lost loved ones and individ-
uals who suffered double amputations or
permanent brain damage in the bombings
receiving the highest payments.
The question of where Tamerlan
Tsarnaev will be buried dragged on for
another day, and the issue seemed far from
resolved.

Biden asks clergy to
make moral argument on guns
WASHINGTON Vice President Joe
Biden wants pastors, rabbis and nuns to tell
their ocks that enacting
gun control is the moral
thing to do. But another
vote may have to wait
until Congress wraps up
work on an immigration
overhaul.
Biden met for two-and-
a-half hours Monday with
more than a dozen leaders
from various faith com-
munities Christian,
Jewish, Muslim and Sikh, to name a few.
Both Biden and the faith leaders encouraged
each other not to give up on what has been
an arduous and thus far fruitless effort by
Biden and President Barack Obama to pass
new gun laws in the wake of Decembers
schoolhouse shooting in Connecticut.
Around a large, circular table in a confer-
ence room on the White House grounds,
Biden waxed optimistic about prospects for
passing a bill, according to four partici-
pants who spoke to the Associated Press
after the meeting.
FDA wants cancer
warnings on tanning beds
WASHINGTON Indoor tanning beds
would come with new warnings about the
risk of cancer and be subject to more strin-
gent federal oversight under a proposal
unveiled Monday by the Food and Drug
Administration.
The FDA has regulated tanning beds and
sun lamps for over 30 years, but for the rst
time ever the agency says those devices
should not be used by people under age 18.
The agency wants that warning on pam-
phlets, catalogues and websites that pro-
mote indoor tanning. And regulators are
also proposing that manufacturers meet cer-
tain safety and design requirements, includ-
ing timers and limits on radiation emitted.

Hurrah for Plan Bay Area
Editor,
I read with interest your article on
Plan Bay Area (What is Plan Bay
Area? in the May 1 edition of the
Daily Journal). Its great to see leader-
ship to address the extraordinary
housing shortage in the region. My
wife and I plan to start a family and
want to nd a new home. Its a real
challenge. Not only are the prices
exorbitant and getting worse, there is
a dearth of housing options which
allow us to readily take the train or
BARTto our jobs in San Francisco
and San Jose respectively.
Sure, we could nd a more reason-
ably priced home in a distant location
and endure costly 90-minute com-
mutes that compromise our quality of
life.
We are hopeful that we will be able
to nd a home in the new Bay
Meadows development in San Mateo.
This will be a beautiful new neighbor-
hood with a wide range of home
options, with healthy walkable parks
and amenities, right on Caltrain. The
city of San Mateo is to be applauded
for fostering exactly the kind of
development Plan Bay Area encour-
ages.
This is about having choices, not
just large, expensive single-family
homes. We do not have enough
homes close to work centers for
smaller families and seniors, espe-
cially that are affordable to all those
who are not on a high-tech salary.
Plan Bay Area will provide a better
mix of homes for the region, help
ease the cost of homes, foster better
communities and reduce pollution.
Sounds pretty good to us.

Prove it
Editor,
WRAwants the public to under-
stand that there are millions of peo-
ple successfully treated for addiction
who now lead healthy, productive
lives. (Guest perspective by Debbie
Tate, from the May 2 edition of the
Daily Journal). It is now time to
prove this statement by reviewing
longitudinal studies that conrm suc-
cess or failure rates beyond two years.
Real success yells out for proof and
most administrators of these pro-
grams really dont know without fol-
lowing recipients for moe than 20
years.
If you cant prove this, then why
try to buffalo the public into think-
ing otherwise to achieve more fund-
ing?
I suggest that all programs, includ-
ing Womens Recovery Association,
have a performance audit yearly and
conduct ongoing longitudinal studies
of those who have undertaken this
program, as well as other programs in
the state. My bet is that after two
years of completing the program,
there will be an 80 percent recidivism
rate. All social net programs should
have built-in longitudinal studies and
signicant top-down yearly audits.
It is not enough to have a 20 per-
cent success rate without tweaking
program elements. We should not
accept minimal success that the tax-
payer and private sources may be
funding.

Letters to the editor
By Jim Clifford
I
never met Pete Uccelli, but the
current controversy brought
back images of the many bumper
stickers I saw in the 1980s that read
Save Petes Harbor. Avolunteer in
the Redwood City Library history
room, I decided to nd out about Pete
and what people wanted to save him
from or for.
Pete, who died in 2005 at 84, can be
summed up as a really interesting
guy. For one thing, he owned a har-
bor, but never a boat, telling
reporters a boat was a hole in the
water you poured money into. He
preferred airplanes and was the pilot
of a single-engined Cessna who,
despite his many ties to water, spent
much of his time in landlocked
Nevada, where he owned a few hundred
acres of barren desert.
Uccelli was often described as
ercely independent, which may
have been an understatement. Asign
painted in the colors of the Italian
ag told visitors they were leaving
the United States. The sign had a bit
of rancor about it, which I thought
was strong stuff coming from a World
War II Army veteran. Alittle digging
and I found out that
Pete loved the
United States, but
he did, indeed, have
a ght with the
state of California,
namely the State
Lands Commission.
In the 1970s and
80s, people rallied
around Pete. Not
only were there the omnipresent
bumper stickers, 10,000 Redwood
City residents signed a petition back-
ing Petes ownership of the land. The
state claimed it had made an error dur-
ing a survey conducted more than 100
years ago, a contention that seems to
be lost in the current controversy.
The state argued that the surveying
error resulted in the land, which was
tidelands, being classied improperly
as swampland when it was conveyed
into private ownership starting back
in the 1850s.
As well as the petition, Petes back-
ers took out an expensive newspaper
ad that said they were outraged by
this small businessmans private
property rights being threatened by
the state.
The petition in the present dispute,
which was signed by around 700 peo-
ple, said the public saved Petes
Harbor in the 70s and 80s for use
as a harbor and marina.
On the contrary, my research shows
that Pete Uccelli wanted to see his
land developed someday and that his
ght is still with the land commis-
sion.
The Journal of Local History staff is
still investigating, but we have no
doubt that the story is much bigger
than Petes Harbor.
Jim Clifford retired in 2000 after spend-
ing 40 years as a news reporter, a span
split between UPI and AP. He volun-
teers at the San Mateo County History
Museum, the Redwood Library History
Room and the San Francisco
International Airport museum. He and
his wife Peggy, both San Francisco
natives, raised their seven children in
Redwood City.
Save Pete from what?
Education in
collaboration
Y
ou cant tell by looking. You also cant rely on
stereotypes and assumptions. Take the recent
public service announcement by San Mateo
County Assemblyman Rich Gordon and his Republican
counterpart Assemblyman Brian Jones of Santee. The pair
joined forces to let the public know they can go online for
a number of Department of Motor Vehicle services, which
is admittedly important and maybe a little interesting
who actually likes going into a DMV ofce? but on
paper looks about as low on the news priority list as one
can get on an average day. At least, thats the assumption.
But the PSAis just the frosting on a slice of politics a
lot more interesting than using
the Internet for name changes and
learner permits.
The two men couldnt be more
different if they tried. Gordon is
from Northern California, a
Democrat, gay. Jones is from
Southern California, Republican,
conservative, religious and it
may go without saying not a big
fan of same-sex marriage. Jones
wasnt available to offer his two
cents on the unlikely friendship
but Gordon expects his assump-
tions about him were probably as
narrow as his own. When Gordon hears somebody is an
evangelical Christian, his guard goes up and he assumes
they wont be welcoming him with open arms so he can
only imagine what Jones initially expected from the gay
guy from Northern California. And yet, Gordon said,
when Jones constituents ask him if there is anybody in
Sacramento with whom he gets along he has to admit it
might be the rst openly gay person hes ever known.
This doesnt mean their philosophies meet somewhere in
the middle. Theyve never voted alike and their perspec-
tives are pretty polar opposite, Gordon said.
In fact, in Gordons rst year, Jones joined other
Republicans walking off the Assembly oor during a gay
pride recognition event.
That said, the men developed a social relationship and
while they might not agree Gordon said he respects Jones
values because those are who he is.
While both served on a budget committee, the pair
learned about the DMVs online presence and gured out
pretty quickly it was a useful service that nobody knew
about. APSAwas in order but what happened next is prob-
ably a good example of why nothing ever seems to get
done at the capitol each party has a small television
studio for lming that exact type of PSAbut the
Republicans wouldnt OK Gordon in their space and the
same went with the Democrats toward Jones. Whoever
said the Hatelds and McCoys had anything on partisan
squabbling?
Long story short, Gordon and Jones opted to lm in an
actual DMV ofce but could only do so after hours when
there are no actual customers. Staff, friends and a few DMV
employees were called to play the role of clients.
Gordons husband, Dr. Dennis McShane, is even in the
background lling out a form. His day as an extra also
gave Gordon the chance to introduce his other half to
Jones.
Does all this mean that Jones is ready to throw his
weight behind more traditionally liberal causes or that
Gordon is itching to lean away from his Democratic plat-
form? Not necessarily.
But Gordon says while he cant speak for Jones, the
conservative lawmaker has certainly helped him overcome
some of his own stereotypes about people unlike himself.
Ayear after Jones joined his fellow GOP-ers in walking
off the oor, Gordon said he fully expected a repeat per-
formance at the next recognition ceremony. Instead,
Jones stayed.
He told me, I know you, Gordon remembered.
Isnt that often the rst step of changing ones mind
about a long-held perception, knowing somebody and
nding out that a label doesnt begin to scratch the sur-
face?
Gordon thinks his friendship with Jones proves that dif-
ferences are sometimes less important as people get to
know each other.
Hes right. Respect doesnt have to mean agreement.
And thinking you know what somebody is all about does-
nt mean you know who they are at all.
Maybe thats what people and legislation have in com-
mon. Both are usually much more than skin deep.

NEWYORK Bank of America led a
rally in big-bank stocks in mostly quiet
trading on Monday. Stock indexes ended
little changed following a record-setting
run last week.
News that Bank of America and MBIA,
a bond-insurance company, had reached
a settlement over a long-running dispute
propelled both companies stocks up.
BofAwill pay $1.7 billion to MBIAand
extend the troubled company a credit
line.
MBIAsoared 45 percent, or $4.46, to
$14.29. Bank of America gained 5 per-
cent, or 64 cents, to $12.88, making it
the leading company in the Dow Jones
industrial average.
The Dow slipped 5.07 points to close
at 14,968.89. The Standard & Poors
500 index crept up 3.08 points to
1,617.50, a gain of 0.2 percent.
Six of the 10 industry groups in the
S&P500 rose, with nancial companies
in the lead.
No major economic reports came out
Monday, but a handful of companies
reported their quarterly results. Tyson
Foods, the nations largest meat-pro-
cessing company, fell 3 percent, the
biggest drop in the Standard & Poors
500 index, after saying its net income
sank as costs for chicken feed rose.
Tysons stock lost 83 cents to $24.10.
Companies have reported solid quar-
terly prots so far this earnings season.
Seven of every 10 big companies in the
S&P 500 have beat the earnings esti-
mates of nancial analysts, according to
S&P Capital IQ. But revenue has looked
weak: six of 10 have missed revenue
forecasts.
Yet again, corporations continue to
do more with less, said Dan Veru, the
chief investment ofcer of Palisade
Capital Management.
Veru said the trend is likely to lead to
more mergers in the coming months, as
cash-rich companies look for ways to
raise their revenue. A wave of mergers
could shift the stock markets rally into
a higher gear, he said.
The stock market cleared new mile-
stones Friday after the government
reported that employers added more
workers to their payrolls in recent
months. The unemployment rate fell to
7.5 percent, the lowest level in four
years.
That news sent the Dow through
the 15,000 mark for the first time,
while the S&P 500 closed above
1,600, another first.
In Monday trading, the Nasdaq com-
posite rose 14.34 points to 3,392.97,
an increase of 0.4 percent. The price of
crude oil edged up 55 cents to $96.16 and
gold rose $3.80 to $1,468.10 an ounce.
In the market for U.S. government
bonds, the yield on the 10-year note
inched up to 1.76 percent from 1.74 per-
cent late Friday.
Berkshire Hathaway rose 1.3 percent,
or $1.36, to $110. Warren Buffetts com-
pany turned in earnings late Friday that
trumped analysts estimates for both
prot and revenue. Berkshire reported
strong gains from its insurance units,
Geico and General Reinsurance, its
BNSF Railway company and other
investments.
In a round of television interviews on
Monday, Buffett said that the stock mar-
ket still appears reasonably priced even
though major indexes are at all-time
highs. By contrast, bonds are a terrible
investment right now, he said. Buffett
explained that with interest rates at his-
toric lows, a buyer of long-term bonds is
bound to take a loss when rates eventual-
ly rise.

WASHINGTON The Senate sided with
traditional retailers and nancially strapped
state and local governments Monday by
passing a bill that would widely subject
online shopping for many a largely tax-
free frontier to state sales taxes.
The Senate passed the bill by a vote of 69
to 27, getting support from Republicans
and Democrats alike. But opposition from
some conservatives who view it as a tax
increase will make it a tougher sell in the
House. President Barack Obama has con-
veyed his support for the measure.
Under current law, states can only require
retailers to collect sales taxes if the store
has a physical presence in the state.
That means big retailers with stores all
over the country like Wal-Mart, Best Buy
and Target collect sales taxes when they sell
goods over the Internet. But online retailers
like eBay and Amazon dont have to collect
sales taxes, except in states where they
have ofces or distribution centers.
As a result, many online sales are tax-
free, giving Internet retailers an advantage
over brick-and-mortar stores.
We ought to have a structure in place in
the states that treats all retail the same,
said Matthew Shay, president and CEO of
the National Retail Federation. Small
retailers are collecting (sales tax) on the
rst dollar of any sale they make, and its
only fair that other retailers who are selling
to those same customers the same product
have those same obligations.
The bill would empower states to require
businesses to collect taxes for products
they sell on the Internet, in catalogs and
through radio and TVads. Under the legisla-
tion, the sales taxes would be sent to the
state where the shopper lives.

LOS ANGELES Disney is not giving up
on Star Wars video games after all.
A month after shutting down game pro-
duction at Lucaslm subsidiary LucasArts,
The Walt Disney Co. said Monday that it
had entered multi-year deal with Electronic
Arts Inc. to develop new Star Wars video
games.
According to a statement, EAwill develop
games for a core gaming audience while
Disney will retain the right to develop titles
for mobile devices, social platforms and
online.
Terms were not disclosed.
Disney is aiming to make its money-los-
ing interactive unit protable this year and
shifting some game development costs
elsewhere should help.
Disney bought Lucaslm for $4.06 bil-
lion in December. The company said last
month that it will release a new Star Wars
movie every year starting in 2015.

If its true that you only get one chance to
make a rst impression then its safe to say
that Menlo-Athertons Brooke Stenstrom
has the entire Peninsula Athletic League
shaking right about now.
Its not that the PALhadnt seen the fresh-
man swimmer before Saturdays Bay
Division championship meet shes
already been tearing things up with a ne
dual meet season that saw the Bears go unde-
feated at 6-0. Its just that on Saturday the
freshman had her very own coming out
party with the entire league watching.
And the party was of the record-breaking
variety. Not once. But four, yes four, times.
The 200-yard girls medley relay. New
PAL meet record.
The 50-yard freestyle. New PAL meet and
M-Arecord.
The 100-yard freestyle. New PALmeet and

SAN ANTONIO Manu Ginobilis 3-
pointer from the wing with 1.2 seconds left
in double overtime lifted the San Antonio
Spurs to a thrilling 129-127 victory over
the Golden State Warriors and Stephen
Currys 44 points in Game 1 of their
Western Conference semifinals Monday
night.
The Spurs trailed by 16 points with 4 min-
utes left in regulation before going on an
18-2 run to close the fourth quarter and force
overtime.
They trailed 127-126 with 3.9 seconds
left in the second overtime before Ginobili
hit his 3-pointer off a cross-court inbounds
pass from Kawhi Leonard.
Its only the second one I made all day,
Ginobili said. Good timing though.
Golden State had one nal chance but
Jarrett Jacks 3-pointer from the top of the
key was off. After trailing by so many
points late Ginobili wasnt sure how his
team rallied for the improbable victory.
I have no clue. I really got to watch it to
see what happened, he said. They started
missing shots. Steph was unbelievable in
the third quarter.
Tony Parker scored 28 points to lead San
Antonio while Danny Green added 22
points, Leonard had 18 and Ginobili 16.
Tim Duncan nished with 19 points and
11 rebounds in 35 minutes. Duncan, who is
battling a stomach bug, left the game with 3
minutes left in regulation and only played
the nal seconds of each overtime.
Curry had 11 assists and was 18 for 35
from the eld and 6 for 14 on 3-pointers for
Golden State, which has lost 30 straight in
San Antonio dating back to Feb. 14, 1997.
C
ould Peninsula baseball fans have
asked for better races than this sea-
son? Heading into the nal week
of the regular season, not only are the
Peninsula Athletic Leagues Bay and Ocean
divisions still up for grabs, only two of the
six Central Coast
Section playoff spots
appear to be locked up
but even that could
change.
Heres what I know:
the PAL gets six auto-
matic berths into the
CCS tournament the
top four from the Bay
and the top two from the
Ocean.
Sequoias sweep of
Mills pulled the
Cherokees into a rst-
place tie with the Vikings and barring a
mammoth upset, the two will take the two
CCS berths from the Ocean. Assuming both
teams win this week against Westmoor
and Jefferson, which are a combined 2-22
in league play Sequoia will be the divi-
sions top seed based on the head-to-head
tiebreaker with Mills, which will go as the
No. 2 team.

The San Mateo girls swim team has put a
bow on a very special 2013 season.
After going 8-0 during the dual meet sea-
son, the Bearcats capped off their Peninsula
Athletic League year with a win at the Ocean
Division championships over the weekend.
In what turned out to be an exciting race to
the nish, San Mateo held off El Camino
High School by seven points to win the
meet (226-219) and they accomplished
the championship with only two gold medal
nishes.
With the teams knotted very close in the
standings come event 45, the 400-yard
freestyle relay, it was San Mateos third-
place nish and El Caminos ninth that
made the difference.
San Mateos two golds were special
though as they involved sophomore sensa-
tion Julia Hansen, who, according to San
Mateo head coach Rich Farley, showed great
spirit and leadership for a well-balanced
Bearcats squad. Hansen won the 100-yard
buttery (1:01.14) and the 100-yard breast-

From the state that brought you the world
championship of duck calling, Johnny
Cash and Bill Clinton, comes an export that
paid off locally on the baseball diamond.
The National Association of
Intercollegiate Athletics West Group end of
the year honors were announced last week-
end with Menlo Colleges Jimmy Bosco
earning top billing as Player of the Year by
a vote of the groups head coaches.
Bosco, a junior outelder, batted .426,
the second best mark in the conference after
transferring from the University of
Arkansas and enrolling at
Menlo during the spring
semester.
Boscos home runs
(15), slugging percent-
age (.805), and runs bat-
ted in (56) were all tops
in the group. He tied for
rst in runs scored with
51. His 2013 campaign
also included a slew of
top rankings on the national stage includ-
ing rst overall in total bases (153), total
bases per game (2.942), the aforementioned
slugging percentage (.805) and elding per-
centage (1.000).
I knew he was a talented player, said
Menlo manager Stefan McGovern. There
was no question there. He never took a
series off and never struggled for more than
a couple of games. Ive never seen a player
be given almost like, the Bonds treatment
where they were set on not letting one
player beat them.

SAN JOSE San Jose Sharks
coach Todd
McLellan sees
no need to
remind his
team of the
precariousness
of a 3-0 series
lead in the
Stanley Cup
playoffs.
The Sharks
nearly squan-
dered that advantage the last time
they held it, needing the full seven
games to eliminate Detroit in the
second round two years ago.
With many of the same core
players still around, McLellan is
content to let past experience
serve as the teaching tool heading
into Game 4 of the series on
Tuesday night at the Shark Tank.
We just left it alone, McLellan
said. Our group is mature enough.
They should know whats coming,
what to expect and how to
respond.
Given the comments coming out
of the dressing room on Monday,
its clear McLellan is correct.
Players echoed the mantra that the
fourth win in a series is always the
hardest and insisted nothing had
been won yet despite a decisive 5-
2 win in Game 3 that followed two
narrow victories in Vancouver.
I was here when we went
through that and we let a team back
into a series, center Logan
Couture said. Obviously it went
seven games. We were fortunate to
win it. We let them back in. Thats
something we dont want to do.
We want to put them away in Game
4.
Theres one big difference from
that series two years ago when the
Sharks eked out three straight one-
goal wins to build their cushion
over the Red Wings. Their edge
over the Canucks so far has been
more convincing, especially in
the 5-2 thrashing on Sunday.
The power play clicked to tie a
franchise record with three goals,
the defense kept pressure off goal-
tender Antti Niemi and the Sharks
showed discipline to stay out of
the penalty box even when the
game got testy.
The Canucks feel there is anoth-
er factor: embellishment.
Defenseman Kevin Bieksa sin-
gled out Couture and Sharks cap-
tain Joe Thornton for exaggerat-
ing contact to draw penalties.
Bieksa said Couture ails every
time he is touched and blamed
Thornton for taking off his glove
and shaking his wrist to draw a
slashing penalty on Dan Hamhuis
that led to a 5-on-3 goal that
opened the scoring Sunday.
Those are two Canadian guys
that are supposed to be playing
the game with integrity, Bieksa
said. Maybe our team has to do
more of that. Maybe we have to
sell calls.
The Canucks have earned quite a
reputation for embellishment
themselves over the years with
Ryan Kesler and Alex Burrows
considered two of the main viola-
tors.
In fact, Kesler crumbled to the
ice grabbing his throat after tak-
ing a high stick from Patrick
Marleau on the helmet strap
Sunday. Kesler quickly recovered
and stayed in the game for the
ensuing power play.
The Sharks had eight power
plays in Game 3, while Vancouver
got only two chances with the
man advantage.
Thats always something we talk
about especially when they have a
potent power play like they have,
Marleau said. At playoff time you
have to try to stay disciplined and
not let your emotions get the better
of you sometimes after the whistle
with pushing and shoving.
The talk of diving may have been
a tactic to divert the conversation
from Vancouvers brutal recent
playoff past.
After beating the Sharks in the
Western Conference nals and tak-
ing a 3-2 lead in the Stanley Cup
nals over Boston two years ago,
the Canucks have been downright
abysmal in the postseason.
Vancouver has lost nine of its
past 10 playoff games, having also
fallen behind 3-0 in the opening
round a year ago to Los Angeles
before being eliminated in ve
games.
The Canucks have 15 goals in
that span as a normally potent
offense led by the Sedin twins has
disappeared of late in the postsea-
son.

SAN FRANCISCO Cliff Lee
shut down the Giants once again
with eight strong innings,
Michael Young hit a two-run dou-
ble among his three hits, and the
Philadelphia Phillies stopped San
Franciscos season-best six-game
winning streak with a 6-2 victory
Monday night.
Domonic Brown hit a solo home
run and Delmon Young and Jimmy
Rollins each added sacrice ies as
the Phillies began a seven-game
trip.
Lee (3-2) outpitched fellow
southpaw Madison Bumgarner and
kept intact his perfect career regu-
lar-season record against the
Giants.
Hunter Pence hit a solo homer,
double and single against his for-
mer club. His sixth homer of the
season, in the second inning,
snapped a 21-inning scoreless
stretch by Lee against San
Francisco.
Lee is 5-0 with a 0.88 ERAin six
regular-season starts against the
Giants, including 4-0 with a 0.84
ERA in ve of those outings at
AT&T Park.
He struck out six and didnt walk
a batter for the rst time this sea-
son in a 102-pitch performance.
Lee also singled in the fourth for
his third hit of 2013.
The two runs and three of the ve
hits Lee allowed were to former
Phillies teammate Pence, acquired
by the Giants at last summers
trade deadline.
Pence singled leading off the
fifth and doubled to start the
eighth. He scored when shortstop
Rollins threw wildly past rst for
an error after elding Francisco
Pegueros ineld single.
Jonathan Papelbon pitched a 1-
2-3 ninth for his sixth save in as
many chances, and his 11t h
straight scoreless appearance.
The Giants couldnt keep their
winning streak going on a night
Hall of Famer Willie Mays was
treated to the singing of Happy
Birthday in the middle of the
fourth. The Say Hey Kid tipped
his cap from the suite level as the
sellout crowd of 41,171 gave him
a warm standing ovation on his
82nd birthday.
Bumgarner (3-1) struck out
seven but saw his winless stretch
reach four starts since he won his
initial three outings of the year.
Bumgarner escaped a bases-
loaded jam in the rst when he
fielded Browns comebacker for
the nal out. Bumgarner walked
Chase Utley, loading the bases
again with two outs in the second,
then Michael Young lined a two-
run double to right.

In the Bay Division, every team is still
mathematically in the running for one of
the top four places in the standings and
the CCS spot that comes with a nish in
top four. And the schedule maker gave us
some juicy matchups to close out the regu-
lar season.
Heres what I know: Carlmont and Terra
Nova will play twice to determine a Bay
Division champion. But its not as cut and
dry as that. Burlingame, a game behind
both the Scots and Tigers, could make it a
co-championship if the Panthers sweep
Capuchino while Carlmont and Terra Nova
split.
If Carlmont or Terra Nova sweep this
week, the loser would be looking at an 8-6
record, which should be good enough for
third place. But Half Moon Bay, Hillsdale
and Menlo-Atherton could all get to 8-6
this week as well if they can win two their
nal two games of the regular season. Half
Moon Bay and Hillsdale hook up this
week, while M-Atakes on Aragon, which,
along with Capuchino, could sneak into
that fourth playoff spot with seven losses.
But they need to sweep this week and get a
lot of help elsewhere.
In other words, buckle up and keep a
close on eye this weeks Bay Division
results.

And what can you say about Serra? A
week ago, the Padres appeared destined for
a second-place nish in the West Catholic
Athletic League.
Aweek later, the Padres are the top seed
in the WCAL playoffs and almost assuredly
one of the top two seeds in the CCS play-
offs which begin next week.
It took a perfect storm for the Padres to
catch St. Francis, which started last week
with a two-game lead over Serra. But the
Lancers, who are ranked in the top 10 in
the nation by both the MaxPreps.com
polls, suffered its only two-game losing
streak of the years dropping games to
Bellarmine and Valley Christian. Serra,
meanwhile, won its games over Riordan
and Sacred Heart Cathedral, giving the
Padres and Lancers a share of the WCAL
regular-season title.
But due to tiebreakers, Serra gets the No.
1 seed in the tournament. The rst
tiebreaker was head to head with St.
Francis. The teams split the season series.
The second tiebreaker was how both teams
fared against third-place Bellarmine. St.
Francis split with the Bells while Serra
recorded the two-game sweep.
Advantage Serra.

The PAL softball berths appear to be
much more clear-cut. Carlmont, Half Moon
Bay and Hillsdale all appear to have the
top three spots locked up, while Woodside
will claim the Ocean Division CCS berth
for the PALs four automatic postseason
berths.
The one remaining question is if the Bay
Divisions fourth-place team will receive
an at-large bid. Sequoia, which currently
occupies fourth place, controls its own
destiny, but it wont be easy. The
Cherokees nish up the regular season this
week with home games against Aragon and
Half Moon Bay. Both squads beat Sequoia
during their rst meeting this year.
If Sequoia loses both, it opens up the
possibility of Burlingame sneaking into
that fourth-place nish and enhance their
chances at making CCS.

record of 1:09.99.
On the boys team side, the race turned out
to be even tighter. Half Moon Bay defeated

day when every point counted, Mike Tyler,
Malcolm Feix, Brendan Garrison and Peter
Lundgards fourth place nish in the 400-
yard freestyle relay the meets final
event was huge considering Hillsdale
took gold in that with a 3:35.84. Seven
seconds separated the Cougars from fth
and that might have cost them the title.
El Camino girls took the days initial
event, the 200-yard medley relay with a
2:00.83 less than a second ahead of San
Mateo in a sign of things to come. That
same team took gold in the 200-yard
freestyle relay. There, they bested Half
Moon Bay by four seconds.
On the boys side, Hillsdales Erik Garcia,
Vincente Chisholm, Javier Rosas and
Daniel Amaya won the 200 medley relay.
In the girls 200-yard freestyle, Sara
Stretch took gold with a 2:07.92. Stretch is
a Half Moon Bay Cougar.
JJ Halet of San Mateo High School won
the boys 200-yard freestyle and qualied
for the Central Coast Section meet in the
process. He did the same a couple of events
later in the 100-yard freestyle swim with a
49.33. Halet owns the PAL Ocean meet
record in that event.
Morgan Smith of El Camino won the
girls 200-yard individual medley with a
2:28.07. Hillsdales Garcia took gold on
the boys side of the event with a 2:01.79.
That mark is good for a berth in CCS.
In the 50-yard freestyle, Emma Adams of
Woodside (25.00) and Eoin Bloomer of Half
Moon Bay (23.33) laid claim to Fastest in
the Ocean with wins.
Adams followed up her win in the 50 with
a victory in the 100 as well. Her time of
56.26 was just good enough to send her to
CCS.
Christopher Lee of Westmoor took gold
in the boys 100-yard buttery with a 54.21
and gold once again in the 100-yard breast-
stroke. Four different Ocean swimmers qual-
ied for CCS in that event.
In the longest individual swim of the day,
the 500-yard freestyle, a Knights freshman
stole the show on the girls side. Michelle
Karpishin won the swim with a 5:20.73
37 seconds ahead of her nearest competitor.
Just as impressive was the performance of
Hillsdales Rosas, who, after a couple of
second place nishes earlier in the meet,
annihilated the Ocean Division in the 500-
freestyle. His 4:55.63 was tops by those 37
seconds as well.
Bloomer led the charge for the Cougars in
the 200-yard freestyle relay. His initial leg
propelled Avery Calhoun, Jack Dobbrow
and Matthew Tolar to victory. The quartet
will race once again at CCS.
Karpishin followed her win in the 500
with a victory in the 100-yard backstroke
(1:02.03). Garcia won the event on the
boys side. Both will swim at CCS.
South San Francisco boys took third
place on Saturday. Half Moon Bay did the
same on the girls side.

won the PAL girls regular season
and meet titles.
And actually, the two former M-
A records were held by Mary
Edwards Lori Stenstroms for-
mer college roommate. Brooke
was also the ower girl at Edwards
wedding when she was 4 years old.
Yes, its a small world. But no
doubt, Lori Stenstrom is already
making a big splash in it.
For her efforts, Lori Stenstrom
is the Daily Journal Athlete of the
Week.
We had full condence in her
ability and how shes been swim-
ming at each meet during the sea-
son, Worden said of the coaching
staffs attitude heading into the
PALs biggest meet. Shes swam
really well and shes had a great
winter so far. So we were fully con-
dent in her ability.
Stenstrom rewarded the confi-
dence right out of the chute by
swimming the anchor leg of M-As
200-yard medley relay win.
Twelve races later, Stenstrom
was back in the pool and posted a
23.54 in the 50-free almost two
seconds ahead of Kristen Denney
of Carlmont for her second record
of the day.
She was just very happy,
Worden said. And we were all
super happy and proud of her. We
celebrated. But then she got down
to the next race and knew she was-
nt done. And shes still not done.
Shes got CCS this weekend and
its going to be a big challenge.
Theres some super fast kids there.
So, I think its great. We cele-
brate. But then we focus on whats
coming up.
Stenstrom proved she has that
kind of focus by getting right
back into the pool and chasing
down the 2004 record of Katherine
Wong in the 100-yard freestyle.
She was almost three seconds bet-
ter than everyone else in that race
which set her third record of the
day.
I swam, Worden said of
Stenstroms 100, and the time
that she swam, Im familiar with
how fast she went. And, it was
pretty dang impressive. Shes get-
ting there. Shes getting up there
in the world of the really elite
swimmers.
Stenstrom capped off the magi-
cal day by swimming the anchor
on the 400-yard freestyle that
clinched the team title for the
Bears. Stenstrom, along with
Maddie Pont, Nicole Zanolli and
Kindle Van Linge, set a new
Menlo-Atherton record in the
process.
You know, I dont think it
does, Worden said when asked if
Stenstrom exceeded expectations
with her championship meet. I
think we had the full belief that
Brooke was capable of it from the
beginning of the season essen-
tially. No, I think it was an awe-
some performance but we thought
she had it in her all season long.
Shes been great. Shes a very
calm, very well-liked girl on the
team. Its been easy. Everyone
respects her and she respects
everyone else so you wouldnt be
able to pick her out of the crowd as
the superstar because she doesnt
act like it. She just ts with every-
one else and we all care about each
other. Brooke is no different.

Bosco batted .533 while leading
the Oaks to a runner-up nish in
the NAIA West Group Tournament
losing to tourney host
Concordia University. His eight
tournament hits included a double
while knocking in four runs. He
also hit the tournaments only
home run. Bosco will also receive
a Gold Glove award for his defense
in the Oaks outeld as he was not
charged with a single error in 102
chances on the season.
His defense is one of those
areas where he proved everyone
wrong, McGovern said, adding
that Bosco didnt play any outeld
during his time at Arkansas.
Bosco wasnt the only Oak hon-
ored. McGovern, in his second
season as the Menlo front man,
was named the groups Manager of
the Year.
McGovern led Menlo to a 19-9
conference record and a 30-win
regular season and was selected by
the seven other managers in the
conference.
Its humbling, McGovern
said. Its denitely an honor. You
set goals for yourself at the begin-
ning of the year for the season
overall, in
terms of wins
and whatnot
and. If you
a c c o m p l i s h
those, every-
thing else pret-
ty much takes
care of itself.
But its denite-
ly an honor
when the other
coaches honor
you with that.
In just his second season at the
helm of the Oaks, McGovern has
amassed 64 wins, claimed a group
tournament championship and a
second-place nish.
Id be lying if I didnt say I
wouldnt trade it all for a regional
bid. Unfortunately, we fell one win
short of that.
The 2013 All-NAIA West Group
Team was also announced with ve
Oaks earning a spot. With ve
members on the team, Menlo tied
the University of British
Columbia as the most decorated
team in the group. Bosco, Daniel
Comstock, Derek Martinez, James
Jensen and Corey Metoyer all
secured a place on the list.
Comstock turned heads behind
the plate for the Oaks in his fresh-
man campaign. Only a freshman,
Comstock hit .317 with four home
runs, 11 doubles and 29 RBIs.
Metoyer was the Oaks primary
designated hitter in 2013. He con-
cluded his career with Menlo by
batting .301 with three home
runs, 13 doubles, 46 RBIs and a
.428 slugging percentage.
The Menlo pitching staff was
the best in the conference with a
2.88 earned run average and 352
strikeouts.
Martinez paved the way for the
Menlo starting rotation with the
best ERAof all starters (2.03) and
a conference-best 83 strikeouts.
Martinez tossed two complete
game shutouts and held opponents
to a .237 batting average while
collecting ve wins in his senior
season. He finished his Menlo
career as the programs career
leader in innings pitched, wins
and strikeouts.
Jensen compiled six wins
including three complete-game
shutouts, and a 2.34 ERA. His sea-
son was highlighted by his com-
plete-game one-hitter on March
30 against Oregon Tech when he
did not face a batter over the mini-
mum and struck out nine.
You really cant say enough
about our pitching, McGovern
said. The starting staff as well as
our bullpen was outstanding all
year.
The Oaks also picked up a pair of
Gold Gloves.
Along with Bosco, Kyer Vega,
Menlo rst baseman, took home
some defensive hardware. Vega
committed just two errors in 380
chances and recorded 341 putouts
and 37 assists.
Menlo elded .970 as a team in
2013.

Utah prosecutor weighs
charges in soccer ref death
SALT LAKE CITY A Utah
prosecutor said Monday he plans
to decide soon what charges to le
against a teenager accused of
punching a soccer referee who later
died after slipping into a weeklong
coma.
Authorities say the 17-year-old
struck Ricardo Portillo in the head
last month during a recreational
league match after the referee
called a penalty against him.
Hours later, the 46-year-old went
into a coma. He never regained
consciousness and died Saturday.
An autopsy was performed the next
day, authorities said, but the
results have not been made public.
Salt Lake County District
Attorney Sim Gill said he and other
officials are reviewing evidence
and state statutes to determine the
appropriate charges, which he
expects to announce by midweek.

NBA
CLEVELAND Jarrod Parkers
neck was already sore before the
game.
Then the Indians twisted it a lit-
tle.
Parker gave up four solo
homers, two to Asdrubal Cabrera
and a 460-foot shot by Mark
Reynolds that nearly cleared the
left-field bleachers, to help
Cleveland pound the Oakland
Athletics 7-3 on Monday night for
its seventh win in eight games.
Parker (1-5) was in trouble right
away, giving up back-to-back
homers in the rst inning to Jason
Kipnis and Cabrera. Then, in the
fth, he allowed Cabreras second
homer and the monster shot to
Reynolds, who wanted payback
after he was drilled by the right-
hander in the rst.
Following the game, Parker said
his neck has been issue.
Its something thats been
bothering me for a little bit, he
said. Obviously, those are pitch-
es up in the zone. Theyre semi-
uncharacteristic. I dont think, if
Im feeling 100 percent, they
would be in that location.
Parker has now given up eight
homers in 34 1-3 innings. Last
season, he allowed just 11 in 181
1-3 innings.
Its not like him, As manager
Bob Melvin said. Hes a guy you
dont expect to get hit. Sometimes
hes a little bit wild, but I would
say the amount of home runs hes
given up is not him. Hes had a
couple of good starts. Hes had
some bad starts. He hasnt got to
where hes consistent yet. Alot of
that can be condence, too.
Clevelands four homers off
Parker backed Ubaldo Jimenez (2-
2), who had his second straight
solid outing. Jimenez struck out a
season-high eight in 5 2-3
innings.
Jason Giambi hit a clutch, two-
run single and Ryan Raburn dou-
bled home a run in the seventh for
the Indians, who had their six-
game winning streak stopped
Sunday.
Yoenis Cespedes homered and
hit a sacrice y for the As, who
had won eight in a row over the
Indians but fell behind early and
dropped to 6-11 after a 12-4 start.
Parkers hoping his neck
improves, but realizes he may
need to take some time off.
Well see how it feels and go
from there, he said. If need be,
its early, and its something we
dont want to continue and snow-
ball and build into something
worse. Its not something I want
to keep dealing with.
Jimenez pitched seven shutout
innings in his previous start last
week at Kansas City. It was the
type of performance the Indians
have been waiting to see from the
right-hander, who has been a
major disappointment since com-
ing over in a 2011 trade from
Colorado.
Jimenez slowed down the As ,
who came in leading the majors in
runs, doubles and extra-base hits.
Jimenez allowed two runs and four
hits.
Parker hammered as As battered 7-3 by Indians

Klay Thompson and Harrison
Barnes each added 19 points,
Jarrett Jack had 15 and Andrew
Bogut had 10 points and 15

Golden State trailed by ve with
1 minute left in the second over-
time before the Warriors scored six
straight points to take a one-point
lead on Kent Bazemores reverse
layup that gave the Warriors a
127-126 advantage with 3.9 sec-
onds left.
The Warriors missed eight of
their nal nine shots in regula-
tion, including a desperation
heave by Curry at the buzzer
against several defenders.
The Spurs slowed Curry early in
the fourth quarter by putting the 6-
foot-7 Leonard on in the fourth
quarter. Curry scored only six
points in the fourth quarter, help-
ing fuel San Antonios rally
behind Parker and Leonard.
Curry had 22 points in the third
quarter, including 14 straight late
in the period. Currys run gave
Golden State a 90-72 lead with
37.5 seconds left in the third.
He found his groove after a slug-
gish rst half.
After averaging only 3.3
turnovers in Golden States rst-
round upset of Denver, Curry had
four in the rst quarter alone while
struggling to nd his shot.
Curry missed his first two
attempts while committing two
turnovers and picking up a person-
al foul before hitting a 19-foot

He nished 2 for 6 in the rst quar-
ter, scoring four points in 12 min-

Golden State raced to a 28-25

The Spurs started 1 for 9, with
Greens 3-pointer their only bas-

council approved an additional $2.5 mil-
lion expenditure this year to be put toward
repairing failed streets and another $2 mil-
lion a year for the next ve years for street
improvements, Bronson said.
The funds will go toward xing streets in
need of immediate corrective repair,
Bronson said.
While some work is taking place at
Central Park now for immediate improve-
ments, the citys Parks and Recreation
Commission and staff will take a look at
amending the parks master plan when the
new scal year begins July 1, said Sheila
Canzian, the departments director.
The master plan is like a blueprint for the
park, she said, which could be modied to
the extent that some of the its features will
be moved.
Amending the master plan, however, does
not mean the changes will come quick, she
said.
It depends on when the money becomes
available, she said.
The work on Delaware Street is being
done well ahead of the construction of sev-
eral high-density projects near the Hayward
Park Caltrain station.
The project involves narrowing Delaware
Street from four lanes to three from Charles
Lane to Garvey Way and from four lanes to
two lanes from Garvey Way to 16th Avenue
to accommodate a Class II bicycle lane
extending from Charles Lane to Sunnybrae
Boulevard, Bronson said.
It is a $1.2 million project paid for by the
developer of Station Park Green, the mas-
sive mixed-use development slated to
replace the Kmart, with a $600,000 match-
ing grant from the Metropolitan
Transportation Commission.
The project is intended to make the area
more pedestrian and bicycle friendly and
should be complete by July.
The downtown fence project is meant to
minimize access to San Mateo Creek at four
spots including the Transit Center, Railroad
Avenue, Claremont Street and Delaware
Street, Bronson said.
The project is intended to protect the
creek from trespassers, litter and debris and
improve public safety in the adjacent areas,
Bronson said.
The Daily Journal went down into the
creek yesterday afternoon and found two
gentleman doing drugs under the bridge
where the creek is accessed at the Transit
Center.
The Daily Journal also found massive
piles of garbage and plenty of grafti under
the bridge adjacent to the creek.
It is an estimated $120,000 project and is
funded through a public/private partnership
using both city funds and easement funds as
part of the adjacent Mi Rancho development
project at the Blue and White Cleaners on B
Street.
This project also involves the police
department.
The city is also working with private
property owners next to city property to see
if they too would like to install fencing,
Bronson said.
The contract is expected to be awarded in
June with construction beginning this sum-
mer and completed in the fall, he said.
The city is also ready to award a contract
for grafti abatement that ofcials hope
will address the problem quicker than city
workers currently can, since they have other
more pressing work to do.
San Mateo also just held a downtown
cleanup last month with 200 volunteers
where they removed litter, did some land-
scaping and even a little yarn bombing
with new decorations on parking meters and
bike racks and even a lollipop on a garage
sign. New murals have also sprouted up in
downtown that ofcials hope will deter graf-
t i .

injured dozens more and consumed 38
homes in the quiet bedroom community.
The National Transportation Safety Board
unanimously agreed in 2011 that the acci-
dent was caused by what board chairman
Deborah Hersman called a litany of fail-
ures by PG&E, as well as weak oversight
by regulators.
Separate from the NTSB investigation,
investigators at the utilities commission
blamed PG&E for the explosion, which
occurred when an underground pipeline rup-
tured at the site of a decades-old faulty weld,
sparking a massive re.
Commission investigators and consumer
advocates led a range of proposals for nes
Monday.
The City of San Bruno, which is still
struggling to rebuild the neighborhood dev-
astated in the blast, said earlier Monday that
the utilitys shareholders should pay no less
than $1.25 billion in nes, plus at least $1
billion toward pipeline inspection and
upgrade costs.
PG&E will file its proposal later this
month, and a judge from the utilities com-
mission is expected to make a nal decision
about how much to ne the company later
this year.
PG&E has accepted liability for the disas-
ter in numerous public statements but has
denied most of state investigators allega-
tions that the utility violated safety rules.
The penalties proposed by the commis-
sion staff and others far exceed anything
that I have seen, PG&E Corp. CEO Tony
Earley said in a statement. He added that the
penalty could dramatically set back our
efforts to do the right thing by making it
harder and more costly to finance the
remaining improvements that are needed in
our gas system.
Consumer advocates said the ne the com-
mission proposed was appropriate, given
the companys myriad violations before the
explosion and an outside consultants nd-
ing that PG&E could raise $2.25 billion in
equity to cover nes without damaging its
nancial condition.
The proposal calls for the $2.25 billion
to be directly invested in safety testing,
replacing and upgrading hundreds of miles
of PG&Es gas transmission lines, rather
than being sent to the states general fund.
That means the company would be able to
claim the penalty as a tax deduction, Hagan
conrmed.
Its absolutely the amount PG&E should
pay for their all their past violations, said
Marcel Hawiger, an attorney with the non-
prot Utility Reform Network. This is a
very big penalty, but its not quite as big as
it seems when you account for the tax bene-
ts PG&E would accrue.

SAN FRANCISCO The
California Supreme Court ruled
Monday that cities and counties
can ban medical marijuana dispen-
saries, a decision likely to further
diminish the network of store-
front pot shops and fuel efforts to
have the state regulate the indus-
try.
In a unanimous opinion, the
court held that Californias med-
ical marijuana laws the
nations rst and most liberal
neither prevent local govern-
ments from using their land-use
powers to zone dispensaries out
of existence nor grant authorized
users convenient access to the
drug.
While some counties and cities
might consider themselves well-
suited to accommodating medical
marijuana dispensaries, condi-
tions in other communities might
lead to the reasonable decision
that such facilities within their
borders, even if carefully sited,
well managed, and closely moni-
tored, would present unacceptable
local risks and burdens, Justice
Marvin Baxter wrote for the
seven-member court.
The ruling came in a legal chal-
lenge to a ban enacted by the city
of Riverside in 2010, but another
200 jurisdictions have similar
prohibitions on retail pot sales,
the advocacy group Americans for
Safe Access estimates. Many were
enacted in the past ve years as
the number of dispensaries
swelled and amid concerns that
the drug had become too easy to
get. A number of counties and
cities were awaiting the Supreme
Court ruling before moving for-
ward with bans of their own.
Of the 18 states that allow the
medical use of marijuana,
California is the only one where
residents can obtain a doctors
recommendation to consume it for
any ailment the physician sees t
as opposed to for only conditions
such as AIDS and glaucoma. The
state also is alone in not having a
system for regulating growers and
sellers.
The irony in California is that
we regulate everything that con-
sumers purchase and consume, and
somehow this has been allowed to
be a complete free-for-all, said
Jeffrey Dunn, the lawyer who rep-
resented Riverside in the success-
ful defense of its ban. Cities and
counties looked at this and said,
Wait a minute. We cant expose
the public to these kind of risks,
and the court recognized that
when it comes to public safety, we
have independent authority.
Marijuana advocates had argued
that allowing local governments
to bar dispensaries thwarts the
intent of the medical marijuana
law that voters passed nearly 17
years ago. On Monday, they
blamed the absence of state over-
sight and the failure of local
authorities to adopt operating
guidelines that fall short of ban-
ning dispensaries for the courts
decision.

Marijuana remains illegal under federal law, and the U.S. attorneys have
threatened to seize the property of landlords who lease space to the shops.
Hundreds of dispensary operators have since been evicted or closed
voluntarily.

HAIRCUT (reg.$14)
By Linda A. Johnson
TRENTON, N.J. Men who are bashful
about needing help in the bedroom no
longer have to go to the drugstore to buy
that little blue pill.
In a rst for the drug industry, Pzer Inc.
told the Associated Press that the drugmak-
er will begin selling its popular erectile
dysfunction pill Viagra directly to patients
on its website.
Men still will need a prescription to buy
the blue, diamond-shaped pill on
viagra.com, but they no longer have to face
a pharmacist to get it lled. And for those
who are bothered by Viagras steep $25-a-
pill price, Pzer is offering three free pills
with the rst order and 30 percent off the
second one.
Pzers bold move blows up the drug
industrys distribution model. Drugmakers
dont sell medicines directly to patients.
Instead, they sell in bulk to wholesalers,
who then distribute the drugs to pharma-
cies, hospitals and doctors ofces.
But the worlds second-largest drugmaker
is trying a new strategy to tackle a problem
that plagues the industry. Unscrupulous
online pharmacies increasingly offer
patients counterfeit versions of Viagra and
other brand-name drugs for up to 95 percent
off with no prescription needed. Patients
dont realize the drugs are fake or that legit-
imate pharmacies require a prescription.
Other major drugmakers likely will watch
Pzers move closely. If it works, drugmak-
ers could begin selling other medicines
that are rampantly counterfeited and sold
online, particularly treatments for non-
urgent conditions seen as embarrassing.
Think: diet drugs, medicines for baldness
and birth control pills.
If it works, everybody will hop on the
train, says Les Funtleyder, a health care
strategist at private equity fund Poliwogg
who believes Pfizers site will attract
fence-sitters who are nervous about buy-
ing online.
The online Viagra sales are Pzers latest
effort to combat a problem that has grown
with the popularity of the Internet.
In recent years, Americans have become
more comfortable with online shopping,
with many even buying prescription drugs
online. Thats particularly true for those
who dont have insurance, are bargain
hunters or want to keep their medicine pur-
chases private.
Few realize that the vast majority of
online pharmacies dont follow the rules.
The Internet is lled with illegitimate
websites that lure customers with spam
emails and professional-looking websites
that run 24-hour call centers. A January
study by the National Association of
Boards of Pharmacy, which accredits online
pharmacies, found that only 257 of 10,275
online pharmacy sites it examined
appeared legitimate.
Experts say the fake drugs such websites
sell can be dangerous. Thats because they
dont include the right amount of the active
ingredient, if any, or contain toxic sub-
stances such as heavy metals, lead paint
and printer ink. Theyre generally made in
filthy warehouses and garages in Asia,
Eastern Europe and Latin America.
Online buyers are playing Russian
roulette, says Matthew Bassiur, vice pres-
ident of global security at New York-based
Pzer.
The factories are deplorable. Ive seen
photographs of these places, he says.
You wouldnt even want to walk in them,
let alone ingest anything made in them.
Pzer, which invented the term erectile
dysfunction, has long been aggressive in
ghting counterfeiters. It conducts under-
cover investigations and works with
authorities around the globe, with good
reason.
Counterfeit versions of Viagra and
dozens of other Pzer medicines rob the
company of billions in annual sales.
Viagra is one of its top drugs, with $2
billion in worldwide revenue last year. And
its the most counterfeited drug in the U.S.,
according to the company.
A 2011 study, in which Pzer bought
Viagra from 22 popular Internet pharma-
cies and tested the pills, found 77 percent
were counterfeit. Most had half or less of
the promised level of the active ingredient.
Viagra is appealing to counterfeiters
because it carries a double whammy: Its
expensive and it treats a condition with an
embarrassment factor.
Crooks running the illegal online phar-
macies brazenly explain their ultra-low
Viagra prices often $1 to $3 a pill by
claiming they sell generic Viagra.
Generics are copycat versions of brand-
name prescription drugs. They can legally
be made after a drugmakers patent, or
exclusive right to sell a drug, ends. Generic
drugmakers dont have to spend $1 billion
or so on testing to get a new drug approved,
so their copycat versions often cost up to
90 percent less than the original drug.
But there is no such thing as generic
Viagra. Pzer has patents giving it the
exclusive right to sell Viagra until 2020 in
the U.S. and for many years in other coun-
tries.
Many patients are unaware of that.
Dr. David Dershewitz, an assistant urolo-
gy professor at New Jersey Medical School
who treats patients at Newarks University
Hospital, says erectile dysfunction is com-
mon in men with enlarged prostates, dia-
betes and other conditions, but most men
are too embarrassed to discuss it.
He says well over half of his patients
who do broach the issue complain about
Viagras price. Some tell Dershewitz that
they go online looking for bargains
because they cant afford Viagra.
The few that do admit to it have said that
the results have been fairly dismal, but
none has suffered serious harm, he says.
For Pzer, thats a big problem. People
who buy fake drugs online that dont work,
or worse, harm them, may blame the com-
panys product. Thats because its virtually
impossible to distinguish fakes from real
Viagra.

enough to warrant beginning the per-
mit approval process anew.
In negotiations with the San
Francisco Bay Conservation and
Development Commission, Powers
said there is a dramatic increase to
public access than what is there
today.
Councilman John Seybert claried
that sending it back doesnt mean the
council thinks there are more impacts,
just that it wants the Planning
Commission to take a look at the revi-
sions and is waiting for more direction
from the state agency that must sign
off on the lease.
Councilwoman Barbara Pierce said
the decision was not made to waste
time but to use time more effectively.
I would rather have us make sure we
have done a good job on preparing
everything so that we dont have to go
back and start all over again, Pierce
said.
Going forward with the appeal hear-
ing was essentially moot, the council
agreed, although it rst heard from
Powers, the appellant and the public
who spoke before a packed chambers.
But Alison Madden, who led the
appeal, saw the move back to the
Planning Commission differently.
I think it should be styled as the
appeal not being moot but being
granted, Madden said.
Prior to the councils decision, attor-
ney Ted Hannig who represents
landowner Paula Uccelli, encouraged it
to take the bull by the horns and
deny the appeal rather than sending it
back.
Leadership requires you to take a
different path than the staff recommen-
dation, Hannig said.
Opponents of the previously
approved plan, including those who
led the appeal, called for reconsidera-
tion after learning of Powers decision
for a public marina with 35 fewer slips.
The lack of a public marina was among
the groups original concerns but now
say its inclusion is too substantial to
overlook because the changes, which
include 46 more parking spaces and a
hand-launch boat dock, will have a
greater number of impacts and require
more amenities like loading zones,
paths and proper trash facilities.
The issues are not in themselves sig-
nicant but raise issues that couldnt
be resolved by Monday nights hear-
ing, said Community Development
Director Bill Ekern.
The public ght over the future of
Petes Harbor began last fall when
Uccelli informed tenants of the possi-
ble sale and their pending eviction
from the boating community. Occupy
Redwood City jumped on board the
debate and several tenants sued
Uccelli, claiming the plan to transfer
the harbor lease to Powers and the
Pauls Corp. was illegal because it
lacked a commercial marina. The suit
was dropped after a judge refused to
temporarily halt the evictions.
The State Lands Commission must
approve the lease transfer which is
why earlier this year the council post-
poned the appeal hearing until after
the agency had made its decision.
Meanwhile, Powers rst tried resolv-
ing the dispute with the opponents by
offering some $50,000 to tow any
remaining vessels and keeping public
boat slips in the portion of state-
owned harbor if they dropped their
fight. The opponents declined and
unsuccessfully counter-offered with a
$1.2 million request and the right of
tenants to remain.
State lands still needs more informa-
tion, according to Ekern, and
Councilwoman Rosanne Foust
expressed frustration it isnt moving
more quickly.
Madden told the council nobody is
against the development per se but
want to keep the marina open to the
public and have a full environmental
impact review of the plan.
Although the council last night did
not discuss the projects merits,
Powers urged it to see the development
as a future boon due to more housing,
economic impacts, recreation oppor-
tunities and environmental caveats
like the use of recycled water.
We believe strongly that this proj-
ect has ... benets to the city, Powers
said.

nights agenda, however, so the coun-
cil could not comment.
Some ice rink supporters have even
called the city and its council greedy
for allowing SPI Holdings,
Bridgepointes owner, to terminate its
lease with the San Mateo Ice Center at
the end of this month.
The master plan calls for a recre-
ational amenity on site similar to an
ice rink but does not mandate that
exact use.
SPI has offered the city a new turfed
athletic eld at any one of its parks as
a recreational amenity to replace the
ice rink but public hearings on amend-
ing the shopping centers master plan
will not take place until after it is of-
cially closed June 1.
Yesterday, ofcials with SPI told the
Daily Journal it plans to take back
possession of the space once the Ice
Centers lease expires at the end of the
month.
Once SPI takes back control of the
space and sees what shape it is in, it
will return to the city with a plan to
replace the amenity on site or, if the
city wants, to move the amenity off
site, the ofcial said.
The ofcial said it would be several
months before its application to
amend the centers master plan is open
to public hearings. Both the citys
Planning and Parks and Recreation
commissions will take up the issue
once the application moves forward.
SPI officials previously said they
want to add retail uses to the site and
possibly some other recreational
amenity, possibly a climbing wall.
On the citys website for the
Bridgepointe ice rink pre-application,
city staff write: the decision as to
whether or not the Ice Center remains
at the Bridgepointe Shopping Center
is not one that can be made by the City
Council. It is a private decision made
between SPI Holdings and the owner of
the ice rink. When the Ice Centers cur-
rent lease expires, it will be up to SPI
Holdings to decide whether or not to
renew it. SPI Holdings has indicated
that the lease will not be renewed. The
City Council has no legal authority to
intervene in that decision.
But some Ice Center supporters still
think that the City Council can stop
the rinks closure based on the master
plan adopted in 1998.
They have sent the council a glut of
letters and emails, some of them criti-
cal.
It appears to me that your greed for
tax revenue is superseding public wel-
fare and for that you should be
ashamed, Mike Jones wrote the coun-
cil in an email.
Some also asked why public hear-
ings on offering the recreational
amenity off site did not take place
before the lease expired.
Why has the city refused to solicit
public input and hold public meetings
as required for this proposed amend-
ment? Is this project going down a
path similar to the recent 7-Eleven
project, which also had some confu-
sion about whether or not public meet-
ings should be held? Julie McAuliffe
wrote the council in an email.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- You may be holding
all the trump cards, but youre not likely to use
this power unjustly. The opposition will admire and
appreciate your restraint.
GeMini (May 21-June 20) -- Because someone has
helped you when you needed it in the past, your
compassion is easily aroused. Admirably, youll be
the frst to respond to someone in need.
CanCer (June 21-July 22) -- An issue of personal
interest might also appeal to your friends. Although
they may not know how to turn it into a group
endeavor, you do.
LeO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Focusing on the virtues
rather than the shortcomings of friends will not only
boost their egos, but also make you very popular.
VirGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Youre basically a very
imaginative person to begin with, but today that will
be even more so. To your credit, youll put your ideas
to work.
LiBra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Because youll strive to
treat others as fairly as possible, things will work
out quite well. Friends and colleagues will respond
in kind.
sCOrPiO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- An enterprising friend
is likely to provide you with some helpful tips. Use
them to extract even more juice from an already
proftable situation.
saGiTTarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Dont be
surprised if you derive an unexpected bonus
from help that you render to another. Youll set a
wonderful example, and the right people will notice.
CaPriCOrn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Even though your
needs are important, they wont be more so than
those of your loved ones. Youll fgure out a way to
help both your family and yourself.
aQuarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Outward
appearances might affect how your associates view
things, but not you. Youll know how to dig deep
beneath the surface and deal with root causes.
PisCes (Feb. 20-March 20) -- One of your greatest
assets is your ability to adjust quickly to changing
conditions. You might have to use it in several
instances today.
aries (March 21-April 19) -- You might be in
a money-making mood, but try to proft for the
beneft of others, not yourself. Youll get the most
satisfaction from indulging your charitable instincts.

NATION/WORLD 28
By Josef Federman and Karin Laub
BEIRUT From Israels perspective, its
airstrikes near Damascus were more about
Iran than Syria: Tehrans shipment of guid-
ed missiles destroyed in the weekend
attacks would have posed a potent threat had
the weapons reached Iranian proxy
Hezbollah in Lebanon.
While Israel says it has no interest get-
ting involved in the Syrian civil war, it
could nd itself drawn into the conict if
Syrian leader Bashar Assads Iranian
patrons continue to use his territory to ship
arms to Hezbollah.
Repeated Israeli strikes would almost cer-
tainly prompt Syrian retaliation, yielding a
nightmare scenario in which Israel nds
itself in a Syrian morass teeming with jiha-
di rebels, sectarian hatred and chemical
weapons.
For the West, it offers another compelling
argument that the Syrian war must somehow
be brought to an end.
Since the uprising in Syria began in
March 2011, Israel has carefully avoided
taking sides.
At the same time, Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly
declared a series of red lines that could trig-
ger Israeli military intervention, including
the delivery of game-changing weapons
to Hezbollah.
The first test of this policy came in
January when an Israeli airstrike in Syria
destroyed a shipment of advanced anti-air-
craft missiles bound for Hezbollah, accord-
ing to U.S. ofcials.
Israel and Hezbollah fought an inconclu-
sive monthlong war in 2006 and are bitter
enemies.
When Israeli intelligence determined last
week that sophisticated Iranian-made Fateh-
110 missiles had entered Syria, the military
prepared to strike again.
Although Israel has not ofcially con-
rmed the operation, a senior ofcial said a
rst airstrike at a Damascus airport early
Friday destroyed most of the shipment,
while a series of subsequent airstrikes on
nearby locations Sunday took out the rem-
nants of the missiles. The ofcial spoke on
condition of anonymity because he was not
authorized to discuss a covert military mis-
sion.
Israeli airstrike in Syria aimed at Iran
By Bradley Klapper and Matthew Lee
WASHINGTON Israels willingness to
hit Syrian targets it sees as threats to its
own existence has complicated the Obama
administrations internal debate over arm-
ing President Bashar Assads foes and may
change the way U.S. approaches allies as it
tries to boost the rebels, including with
possible military aid.
As Secretary of State John Kerry ew to
Russia on Monday for talks with the Assad
regimes most powerful ally, the adminis-
tration remained tight-lipped on both
Israels weekend air strikes and their impli-
cations for Washington decision-making.
Israeli warplanes targeted caches of
Iranian missiles that were bound for
Hezbollah, the Lebanon-based terror group
that has threatened Israel. The weapons
would have allowed Hezbollah to strike Tel
Aviv and as far as southern Israel from
inside Lebanese territory.
Still, Israels actions put Damascus and
Moscow on notice that the U.S. and its
allies may not wait for an international

Italys ex-premier
Giulio Andreotti dies at 94
ROME Giulio Andreotti personied the
nation he helped shape, the good and the bad.
One of Italys most important postwar g-
ures, he helped draft the countrys constitu-
tion after World War II, served seven times as
premier and spent 60 years in Parliament.
But the Christian Democrat who was
friends with popes and cardinals was also a
controversial gure who survived corruption
scandals and allegations of aiding the Maa:
Andreotti was accused of exchanging a kiss
of honor with the mobs longtime No. 1
boss and was indicted in
what was called the trial
of the century in
Palermo.
He was eventually
cleared, but his legacy was
forever marred. Still cling-
ing to his last ofcial title,
senator-for-life, Andreotti
died Monday at age 94
after an extended period of
poor health that included a
hospitalization for a heart ailment.
