Water rates set for increase
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Demands for most water companies
in California have dropped signicant-
ly the last few years for a variety of
reasons but the bills keep going up and
will climb by up to 17.3 percent next
year for California Water Service
Company customers in San Mateo,
San Carlos and South San Francisco,
called the Bayshore District.
The company has led an applica-
tion for a general rate increase with the
California Public Utilities
Commission, which sets water rates
across the state, and just held a public
hearing last Friday at San Mateo City
Hall to explain why the rate hike is
necessary. The hearing also covered
the Los Altos and Bear Gulch districts
but only ve people attended the meet-
ing, said District Manager Tony
Carrasco.
Cal Water wants to raise an addition-
al $16.7 million from the Bayshore
District over the next three years to
pay for infrastructure improvements,
to maintain employee health care and
pensions and for operations and main-
tenance among others.
It intends to spend about $3.2 mil-
lion on infrastructure improvements
between now and 2016.
In 2014, the typical residential cus-
tomers monthly bill will increase by
$9.37 a month, according to Cal
Water.
Currently, the typical residential
household in the Bayshore District has

Fatal beater to

By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The transient convicted of so savagely
beating an 88-year-old Belmont man dur-
ing a midday home invasion robbery that
he later died was sentenced yesterday to
life in prison without the possibility of
parole.
Although the defense asked that Tyler
James Hutchinson, 25, instead receive 25
years to life with the possibility of
parole because of his mental issues, Judge Mark Forcum
opted for the stiffer penalty which the prosecution argued was
the only thing the law allowed for his convictions.
Hutchinson declined to address the court but told a proba-
tion ofcer for a pre-sentencing report that he didnt care

When Diana Guerreros mother asked
her to help launch a new restaurant in
Burlingame, she told her mother she
had one condition: All meat would
have to come from sources that treat
animals humanely. Because those
sources are well regarded by food
enthusiasts and chefs, this t perfectly
with her mothers desire to offer great
tasting, healthy Latin food.
Guerrero was just 3 years old when
her family immigrated from Mexico.

Former Burlingame city manager Jim
Nantell will earn $85 per hour and receive
a monthly $3,000 housing and transporta-
tion allowance while temporarily heading
up the countys newly re-established Parks
Department.
The Board of Supervisors yesterday
approved County Manager John Maltbies
pick for the interim position and with it a
contract whose cost he said will be suffi-
ciently covered by salary savings in the
departments fiscal year 2012-13 budget.
Nantell starts May 8 and will stay with
the county until a permanent director is
installed which is expected to be late fall.
His primary assignments are overseeing
the opening and operation of the Devils
Slide park on the site of the former road
and beginning development of the depart-
ments operations plan.
Maltbie told the board
appointing Nantell will
expedite the depart-
ments transition from
Public Works, where it
was absorbed in 2011 as
a cost-savings measure,
back to a stand-alone
department because
national recruitment for
a permanent director will take six to eight
months.
The new job isnt Nantells first foray
into parks. He holds a masters of science
in parks and recreation administration
from San Francisco State University.
Nantell retired as Burlingame city man-
ager in 2012 after 12 years in that posi-
tion and 40 years of public service. He
also was deputy city manager of San Mateo
during which he also served for more than
a year as the citys interim fire chief.
Word Nantell was tapped for the county
position came a day after the Board of
Supervisors last month tentatively
approved using nearly $5.3 million in
Measure A sales tax revenue for the new
Parks Department and with it long-deferred
maintenance, staffing and capital proj-
ects. The final vote will come this fall
after the board hears a presentation on
other possible uses for the Measure A
funds.
Parks have long been a proposed use for
the sales tax revenue as the department has
no dedicated funding and needs more than
$20 million in capital projects over the
next five years with an annual cost
between $3.5 million and $4.5 million.

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

STATE GOVERNMENT
In response to recent news that a
fully useable 3-D printed rearm had
been manufactured, state Se n.
Leland Yee, D- San
Franci sco/ San Mateo,
announced Tuesday his intention to
introduce legislation to prohibit the
use of the technology to create such untraceable and
anonymously-produced guns.
The firearm designs for the gun known as The
Liberator can be instantly downloaded and printed
anonymously. The rearm, made using a 3-D printer, has
already been able to successfully re .380 caliber bullets.
The new technology has been used to manufactures assault
weapon parts, including high-capacity magazines and
lower receivers, according to Yees ofce.
Senate Bi l l 47 would prohibit the use of the bullet but-
ton and other devices that allow for easily changeable
magazines on all military-style assault weapons, such as
AR- 15s, according to Yees ofce.
Assembl y Consti tuti onal Amendment 7 passed
out of the Assembly Election and Redistricting
Committee Tuesday on a 4-2 vote.
ACA 7, authored by Assemblyman Kevin Mullin,

information, or to get an application, contact City Clerk

The San Carl os Pl anni ng Commi ssi on post-
poned a vote on a recommendation to create a new zoning
district in the industrial area to limit large-scale business-
es without a direct economic benet. The proposed ordi-
nance is a way for ofcials to keep land at Holly Street and
Industrial Road free for a future hotel. The proposed new
district would indicate uses like large-scale ofce com-
plexes and hotels. The zoning would also call for ancillary
uses like eating, drinking and entertainment. All other
uses would require a use permit, be allowed only on an
interim basis and be limited to existing buildings. The
Planning Commission did not set a specic date for the
new hearing.

From the privacy of their bedrooms
to the public bustle of busy hospital
wards, families and friends Tuesday
struggled with the heartbreak of losing
ve loved ones, all nurses, who died
Saturday in a burning limousine.
Outside the Fruitvale HealthCare
Center, the medical center where all
nine met and became fast friends, nurse
Medhanit Kahassai ran sobbing out
the door into the parking lot on
Tuesday, overwhelmed with grief as
owers piled up in their break room.
Its hard today, she said. I thought
it would get better today. Its not.
Dozens of rest in peace and heart-
felt condolences messages poured
into the womens Facebook sites.
Four passengers and the driver sur-
vived Saturday nights deadly inferno
that erupted as the women headed into
San Francisco to celebrate the nuptials
of Neriza Fojas, who died in the blaze.
The cause of the re, captured on
camera as a blast of ames at the back
of the white stretch limo, is under
investigation.
Fojas, 31, and another victim
Michelle Estrera, 35, were both nurses
at Community Regional Medical
Center in Fresno.
Victims Jennifer Balon, a 39-year-
old mother of two, and Anna Alcantara,
46, both worked at Fruitvale, while
Felomina Geronga, 43, also a mother
of two had been working at Kaiser
Permanente Medical Center in
Oakland.
John Balon, whose wife Jennifer
went by the nickname Jenni, told the
San Francisco Chronicle that their 10-
year-old daughter Jillian cries for her
mother at night and is working on
paintings to give her for Mothers
Day. His daughter and 1-year-old son
are still looking for their mother, he
said.
He told his daughter that she is in
heaven.
I told her mom doesnt want us to
worry a lot, he told the Chronicle.
She is happy there. She wont be
happy if we worry.

State transportation ofcials recent-

seismic safety bolts on the eastern
span of the bridge had broken. But
Brown says people generally under-

tinuing.
There are very professional engi-

KaBOOM! names
Redwood City, Brisbane among
17 Playful City USA communities
With research proving play is critical to
the overall well-being of children, 217
cities and towns, including Redwood City
and Brisbane, earned recognition from
national nonprofit KaBOOM! as 2013
Playful City USA communities for their
efforts to give children the childhood they
deserve by providing ample opportunities
for play.
Sponsored by the Humana Foundation,
Playful City USAis a national program from
KaBOOM! that celebrates and promotes
local policies that increase play opportuni-
ties for children and is a key platform in
combating the lack of play among children.
Kids need to play actively, every day, at
home, in school and in their communities,
yet play is disappearing, said Darell
Hammond, founder and CEO of KaBOOM!
Children spend nearly eight hours a day in
front of a screen; almost half of all poor stu-
dents are deprived of recess; and to make
matters worse, only one in ve children live
within walking distance of a park. Playful
City USA communities like Brentwood,
Brisbane, Fairfax, Redwood City and San
Francisco are creating innovative programs
and initiatives and deserve recognition
because of their efforts to give kids the
childhood they deserve and best prepare
them for their future.
Redwood City has several initiatives
through the Parks, Recreation and
Community Services Department that are
intended to increase play opportunities for
children. After physical education cuts in
local schools, the city applied and received
a grant to provide physical education for
5,000 K-fifth grade children during the
school day.
Brisbanes Lets Play Construction Grant
helped forge a relationship with the city and
the Mothers of Brisbane organization,
which has been a driving force for the
importance of play within the community.
As a result of this partnership, the Mothers
of Brisbane raised $33,400 and the Lions
Club dismantled the old play structure, both
helping build a new park for the city. The
city is looking to expand partnerships with
community organizations to increase access
to play for citizens of Brisbane.
The Playful City USAcommunities are now
eligible for $15,000, $20,000 and $30,000
grants via Lets Play, a community partner-
ship led by Dr Pepper Snapple Group to get
kids and families active nationwide. Grant
recipients will be announced in the fall.

Abbott principal honored
as Administrator of the Year
Abbott Middle School Principal Cathy
Ennon was named the Association of
California School Administrators Region 5
Middle School Administrator of the Year on
April 29.
Ennon was recognized for her commit-
ment to her students and staff and for
Abbotts exemplary anti-bullying program.
I am honored to represent our District and
the wonderful work we do every day on
behalf of the children and families we serve.
I consider this acknowledgement and recog-
nition from ACSA and the District as the
highpoint in my career, said Ennon.
Ennon was the assistant principal of
Abbott Middle School from 1993-96, prin-
cipal of Laurel Elementary school from
1996-2000 and became Principal of Abbott
Middle School in 2000.
Superintendent Cyndy Simms comment-
ed, Abbott Middle School Principal Cathy
Ennon is a wonderful example of the out-
standing principals serving our students in
the San Mateo-Foster City School District.
Mrs. Ennon sets high standards for the suc-
cess of her students, educating and inspiring
them to be their very best. She inspires her
excellent staff, as well as her colleagues, to
those same high standards.
One of the Association for California
School Administrators priorities is to
ensure that school leaders are recognized for
their excellence. Through their annual
awards program we honor administrators
and community members for their achieve-
ments and their dedication to public educa-
tion.
SFO wont be renamed Harvey Milk
A San Francisco lawmaker said Tuesday
that he has abandoned a proposal to rename
San Francisco International Airport after
slain gay rights leader Harvey Milk and
instead plans to pursue getting an airport
terminal named in Milks honor.
Supervisor David Campos said he gave up
on the idea of putting a question on the city
ballot asking voters to approve the name
change after the plan generated a fair
amount of opposition, including from the
citys daily newspaper and Mayor Edwin
Lee.
Some fellow politicians, business leaders
and members of the public wanted the air-
port renamed after someone else or no one at
all, Campos said.
Campos now plans to introduce an ordi-
nance establishing a committee that would
recommend which of San Francisco
Internationals four passenger terminals
should be named for Milk.

Birth records found
in unsecure location
SACRAMENTO State health ofcials
are investigating a possible security breach
involving 2,000 California birth records.
Amicroche reel with images of the birth
certicates was found in an unsecure loca-
tion, the California Department of Public
Health said Monday. The certicates con-
tain names, addresses, Social Security num-
bers and some medical information.
Ofcials said they were unaware of any
unauthorized use of the information. Still,
they are recommending that those who
believe their information was on the lm
check their credit reports, place a fraud alert
on their credit les, and take other steps to
protect their identity.
The records were for people born from
May through September 1974 in Santa
Clara, Santa Cruz, Shasta, Siskiyou,
Solano, Sonoma, Stanislaus, Sutter and
Tehama counties, according to state health
ofcials. Parents of children born in one of
those counties during that period may also
be affected.
BLM postpones oil,
gas lease auctions in state
SAN FRANCISCO Federal land man-
agers have postponed all oil and gas lease
auctions in California until October, citing
budget problems and low stafng as well as
the toll of environmental litigation.
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management
recently announced it would put off an auc-
tion planned for later this month for leases
to drill almost 1,300 acres of prime public
lands near the Monterey Shale, home to one
of the largest deposits of shale oil in the
nation.
Another auction for about 2,000 acres
that had been in the works in Colusa
County, about 75 miles northwest of
Sacramento, also was put on hold until the
end of the scal year.

CLEVELAND In the tight-knit neigh-
borhood near downtown where many con-
versations are spoken in Spanish, it seems
most everyone knew Ariel Castro.
He played bass guitar in salsa and
merengue bands. He parked his school bus
on the street. He gave neighborhood chil-
dren rides on his motorcycle.
And when they gathered for a candlelight
vigil to remember two girls who vanished
years ago, Castro was there too, comforting
the mother of one of the missing, a neighbor
said. Neighbors and friends were stunned by
the arrest of Castro and his two brothers after
a 911 call led police to his house, where
authorities say three women missing for
about a decade were held captive.
Castro and his brothers, ages 50 to 54,
were in custody Tuesday but have not been
formally charged.
Ariel Castro was friends with the father of
Gina DeJesus, one of the missing women,
and helped search for her after she disap-
peared, said Khalid Samad, a friend of the
family. He also performed music at a
fundraiser held in her honor, Samad said.
When we went out to look for Gina, he
helped pass out iers, said Samad, a com-
munity activist who was at the hospital
with DeJesus and her family Monday night.
You know, he was friends with the family.
Tito DeJesus, one of Ginas uncles, said
he played in a few bands with Castro over
the past 20 years. He remembered visiting
Castros house after his niece disappeared,
but he never noticed anything out of ordi-
nary, saying it was very sparsely furnished
and lled with musical instruments.
Thats pretty much what it looked like,
DeJesus said. I had no clue, no clue whatso-
ever that this happened.
Police identied the other two suspects as
the 52-year-olds brothers, Pedro Castro,
54, and Onil Castro, 50.
Arelative of the three brothers said their
family was as blindsided as anyone else.
Ariel Castros son, Anthony Castro, said
in an interview with the Daily Mail of
London that he now speaks with his father
just a few times a year and seldom visited his
house. On his last visit two weeks ago, he
said, his father would not let him inside.
The house was always locked, he told
the newspaper. There were places we could
never go. There were locks on the base-
ment. Locks on the attic. Locks on the
garage.

LOS ANGELES Seeking to crack down
on lawsuit abuse, Gov. Jerry Brown on
Tuesday proposed to revamp a decades-old
law requiring businesses to post public
warnings of chemicals.
Proposition 65, passed by voters in
1986, mandates that store owners alert con-
sumers of the presence of potentially dan-
gerous chemicals in their products or on
their properties, however minute.
The law, which led to disclosure signs
hanging in coffee shops, restaurants and
other businesses around the state, has been
credited with reducing lead content in glass-
ware and other products and educating the
public about chemicals that can cause cancer
or reproductive harm.
But the Brown administration said it has
also led to frivolous lawsuits and small-
businesses shakedowns.
Its not an unqualified success,
California Environmental Protection
Agency Secretary Matthew Rodriquez said of
the law.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Leadership roles in South San Francisco
are about to change.
This year, City Manager Barry Nagel and
Fire Chief Phil White are retiring, creating a
change in the upper management. And, four
of the councils ve seats will be up for
grabs in November. Multiple candidates are
already lining up to possibly ll the seats.
The biggest question will be for how long
those running hope to serve.
South San Francisco will have three four-
year seats currently lled by Mayor Pedro
Gonzalez, Mayor Pro Tem Karyl Matsumoto
and Councilman Mark Addiego and one
two-year seat. The shorter term was created
after Kevin Mullin was elected to the
Assembly. The council then appointed
Pradeep Gupta to ll the seat until the next
election, this year.
It appears at least a majority of the coun-
cil hopes to remain on it.
Gupta has openly discussed his plans to
run for a four-year seat since joining the
council. In a March interview with the Daily
Journal, Gupta expressed a desire to create
more civic engagement a plan he hopes
to dive into full force after being elected this
fall.
Addiego plans to run again but isnt sure if
he will go for the full four-year term.
Matsumoto is in a similar boat. Shes hold-
ing her hand close but has publicly
expressed an interest in running for the two-
year seat a move that could create consis-
tency during a time or change for South San
Francisco. No word yet from Gonzalez.
Having multiple seats on the ballot has
already attracted a large number of possible
newcomers to the council many of whom
applied to be appointed earlier this year.
Among those who have led the legal docu-
ments to raise money for a council race are:
Planning Commissioner Carlos Martin;
Mark Nagales, eld representative for U.S.
Rep. Jackie Speier; Liza Normandy, South
San Francisco Unified School District
trustee; and real estate agent John Prouty.
Planning Commissioners Rick Ochsehirt
and Alan Wong also pulled the paperwork
but have yet to le with the city.
While not yet drawing the same crowd of
possible candidates, South San Francisco
voters could also be faced with choosing a
new treasurer and city clerk. City Clerk
Krista Martinelli is nishing her rst term.
Shes led paperwork to raise funds for her
second run at the seat. Treasurer Frank Risso
was appointed to the position late last year
after the death of Richard Battaglia.
Colorado shootings
suspect to enter insanity plea
DENVER The man accused in the dead-
ly Colorado theater shootings wants to
change his plea to not
guilty by reason of
insanity, his lawyers said
Tuesday, despite their
fears that the plea could
severely hamper his abil-
ity mount a defense
against the death penal-
t y.
James Holmes is
charged with more than
160 counts of murder and attempted murder
in the July 20 assault on a packed movie
theater that killed 12 and injured 70.
Prosecutors announced last month they
would seek the death penalty.
Holmes was widely expected to plead
insanity given the compelling evidence
against him, but his attorneys put it off for
weeks, saying state laws on the death
penalty and insanity overlap in ways that
violate his constitutional rights and his
ability to mount an effective defense.
Military sex assault
reports up, changes ordered
WASHINGTON Sexual assaults in the
military are a growing epidemic across the
services and thousands of victims are still
unwilling to come forward despite a slew of
new oversight and assistance programs,
according to a new Pentagon report.
Troubling new numbers estimate that up
to 26,000 military members may have been
sexually assaulted last year, according to
survey results released against a backdrops
of scandals including an ongoing investi-
gation into more than 30 Air Force instruc-
tors for assaults on trainees at a Texas base
The report was released Tuesday and
comes just days after the Air Forces head of
sexual assault prevention was arrested on
charges of groping a woman in a Northern
Virginia parking lot. And it follows a heat-
ed debate over whether commanders should
be stripped of the authority to overturn mil-
itary jury verdicts, such as one ofcer did in
a recent sexual assault conviction.
In a sharp rebuke Tuesday, President
Barack Obama said he has no tolerance for
the problem and that he had talked to
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel about it.
Delaware becomes 11th
state to allow gay marriage
DOVER, Del. Delaware became the
11th state in the nation to allow same-sex
marriage when Democratic Gov. Jack
Markell signed a gay marriage bill into law
just minutes after its passage by the state
Senate on Tuesday.
I do not intend to make any of you wait
one moment longer, a smiling Markell
told about 200 jubilant supporters who
erupted in cheers and applause following
the 12-9 Senate vote barely half an hour
earlier.
Delaware should be, is and will be a wel-
coming place to live and love and to raise a
family for all who call our great state
home, Markell said.
Boston Marathon fund
chief: Lower expectations
BOSTON The administrator of a fund
created to help Boston Marathon bombing
victims has a blunt message for them:
Lower your expectations.
Attorney Kenneth Feinberg said at a pub-
lic meeting Tuesday that the $28 million
One Fund Boston wont pay out nearly
enough to fully compensate the families of
the three killed or the more than 260
injured, and may not pay much of anything
to those with less serious injuries.
There isnt enough money to pay every-
body who justiably expects it or needs it,
he said.

OPINION 9
District elections
in San Mateo County
Editor,
If I may, I would like to respond to
Guy Guerreros take on my guest per-
spective regarding the new county
district elections, which is discussed
in his letter, Time for county to join
the 21st century, in the April 29
Daily Journal, by asking him one
question. How was the county in vio-
lation of California Voting Rights
Act to warrant a lawsuit? Every voter
could vote for every supervisor in the
county and somehow that is a viola-
tion of the California Voting Rights
Act. Bottom line, members of the
Asian and Hispanic communities were
frustrated when a candidate of their
own race could not win under the pre-
vious at-large system. Since they
could not get a victory for their candi-
dates under the at-large voting sys-
tem, they decided to sue the county
claiming that it was somehow dis-
criminatory.
With Guerreros relief that San
Mateo County is nally joining the
21st century with district elections, I
give this response. If the 21st centu-
ry is one in which California commu-
nities are going bankrupt and carry
multi-million dollars decits, I will
gladly take the 20th century, thank
you very much. Our county was doing
much better nancially and economi-
cally than most all other counties in
California. Our county and our voting
system were far from broken, and
since when did it become such a
bright idea to do something just
because all the other counties in
California are doing it? All you need
to know is how to read nancial state-
ments and be truthful with yourself to
see that most counties in California
are severely in the red. I assure you
Guerrero, General Antonio Lpez de
Santa Anna was not nearly as fright-
ening or effective in the 19th century
as compared to the political power
and strength of the California
Democratic Party of the 21st century.

Anti-social hoarding?
Editor,
Mike Caggiano (letter, Trillions,
not just billions, hidden from the
April 29 edition of the Daily Journal)
is right on the money so to speak.
No one knows how many trillions of
dollars are stashed away in tax havens
abroad, or hidden back home, sitting
idle and doing nothing, like many of
their so-called owners. Whats that
for a contribution to society?
Money is made by the government
and intended as facilitation for trade,
a kind of intermediary catalyst that
makes transactions and exchanges in
a modern society not only possible,
but smooth, fast, reliable and trace-
able. As such, money is a common
necessity, like air, land or water, for
the benet of us all, rich or poor. As
such, why should it be OK for certain
individuals, banks or other business-
es, to hoard money beyond a certain
comfortable level in cash reserves,
instead of putting it to the use for
which it was intended? Thats a social
issue that I think needs to be
addressed. Just think about it: you
suck out a commodity of the market
and put it aside, for whatever selsh
reasons you are infested with. And
there are no penalties?
Donald Ducks Uncle Scrooge
comes to mind. His greatest delight
in life was playing in his gold coin
bin, basking in the glory of gold
inaccessible for anyone else. I think
good old Walt Disney was on to one
of societys gravest ills a sickness
that prevents a speedier recovery than
we otherwise would enjoy. Why?

Letters to the editor
T
he staff of the California
Public Utilities Commission
recommended a hefty ne for
Pacic Gas and Electric Monday for
its negligence leading up to the 2010
San Bruno pipeline explosion and re
in San Bruno that killed eight, injured
dozens and destroyed 38 homes.
The recommended ne, $2.25 bil-
lion, is weighty for sure and it is
good the commission also said it
should come from shareholders and
not rate payers. That makes an abun-
dance of sense since ratepayers should
not pay twice for a safe utility.
However, if that money nds its way
into the states general fund, rather
than specically earmarked for safety
testing and replacing and upgrading
gas transmission lines, it is a total
waste.
Sure, the state could use the money,
but this amount should be used specif-
ically for pipeline safety. The CPUC
staff has recommended that the money
be used solely to improve the utilitys
infrastructure. It would include costs
of safety work already done since
2010. So, in a sense, the ne is
meant as a punishment but should be
earmarked for safety work the compa-
ny has already been forced to do.
The ne, while eye-popping, will
not undo the damage done on that
fateful night in 2010 which forever
changed the Glenview neighborhood
of San Bruno and all of its residents.
Having PG&E pay such a ne may
seem like a way to assist the citys
healing, and in fact, it is the exact
amount the city asked for. So it seems
like a victory for the city while civil
liability moves forward in court.
One thing should be made clear,
however. What should not be included
in the ne is the $100 million PG&E
offered for immediate relief, emer-
gency assistance, property damage
and assistance with rebuilding; the
$70 million trust to cover the costs of
recovery and the $70 million pay-
ment for a community benet non-
prot. These are separate, and should
remain so.
The utility has taken the blame for
the explosion and this ne is meant
to deter the actions that caused it. The
National Transportation Safety Board
has stated that the blast was the result
of a litany of failures by the utility
leading up to the blast. The NTSB
also took the CPUC to task for its
weak oversight of the utility and this
ne is likely the result of the commis-
sions desire to be seen as a serious
enforcer of safety and defender of the
public interest. So, this ne not only
penalizes PG&E but it also makes the
CPUC seem like it is doing its job
after its cozy relationship with the
utility has been called into question.
If the ne is used specically for
safety measures, the amount will be
tax deductible. That may seem unfair
since the utility can write it off.
PG&E ofcials also claim the ne will
undermine its safety efforts but, if the
money is directed to be used speci-
cally for safety measures, it will go
toward making our gas delivery safer
and move us in the direction of pre-
venting another disaster on the scale
of what happened in San Bruno. And
isnt that the goal?
PG&E fine should go for safety
Mothers Day?
W
hat feeling is so nice as a childs hand in
yours? So small, so soft and warm, like a
kitten huddling in the shelter of our
clasp. Marjorie Holmes.
Mothers Day is May 12, and I am using it to support
mothers by again advocating for children. Sadly, in spite
of what the prevailing convictions seem to be, a great
many of our children are in dire need of more dedicated
mothering, hopefully from their birth mother, but, if not,
another closely involved caretaker. Of all of my crusades,
I am most devoted to this one. Most children do not need
more things or more experiences. They need more love,
attention, appreciation, bonding and devoted and intelli-
gent parenting.
Unfortunately, in todays culture, many mothers are
caught in a disconcerting bind. They are expected to hold
down a job, keep t and attractive, keep the home res
burning and care for the kids while still being available
to their partner. The myth that has been proven to be
untrue that they can have it all has caused much
distress for many of these
mothers, their partners and
their children, all in the
name of womens liberation,
free enterprise and corporate
prots.
The most unfortunate result
of that era is that we have
lost patience with childhood.
Not only do we hurry it, we
exploit it. Seems that in
todays culture, motherhood
is considered by many to be
some kind of distraction that
is hindering progress
(whether for parents or socie-
ty) toward more wealth and better things, and the afic-
tion must be recovered from (especially the early stages)
as quickly and with as little inconvenience as possible.
Over the years, there have been few child advocates who
have described the problem as poignantly as Penelope
Leach. She once wrote an article titled, Are We
Shortchanging Our Children? Risking the wrath of
employed mothers everywhere, she presented the realistic,
down-to-earth, compassionate truth about this situation.
Children are not hobbies to be kept out of the way except
when they are wanted. They are not luxuries to be indulged
in when the parents have time. And they are not strange
beings, best dealt with by trained professionals. Babies
are people with unlimited potential and they are the citi-
zens of the future. Parents are the ones best equipped to
help children become fullled people and good citizens.
Society, with its dazzle of material prizes, is blinding us
to the right to parent our own children. Can we slow down
enough to see where we are going?
To counteract the distorted views that developed, our
society could have taken the lead in encouraging interest
in quality parenting. Youd think that most experts in
child rearing would have risen up in outrage that our chil-
dren should be so undervalued instead of allowing them-
selves to be swept along with the tide of self-interest and
materialism. As Leach wrote: By expecting, even encour-
aging parents to separate from infants and toddlers, socie-
ty tells them that their presence is not very important to
their children, and this is not true.
Parents have contributed in too many cases by having
babies that they are not prepared to care for adequately, by
neglecting their children outright and/or by pursuing their
own interests at the expense of the child. But government
policies, the lack of legislation aimed at improving the
lives of our children and relieving family stress also add
to the plight of many of our nations mothers and their
children. As a result, because so many children have been
denied the attention and nurturance that are essential to
the development of whole, well-functioning human
beings, future generations are destined to suffer from more
dysfunction from serious psychological problems, the
inability to bond with their own children and even to all
varieties of assault on others.
Particularly outrageous is the problem of day care in the
United States. An article, The Hell of American Day Care
by Jonathan Cohn in the April 29 New Republic reveals
that In the United States, despite the fact that work and
family life has changed profoundly in recent decades, we
lack anything resembling an actual child-care system
the overall quality is wildly uneven and barely monitored,
and at the lower end, is Dickensian. Our inability and/or
unwillingness to see how our actions and policies today
will impact tomorrow are the outcome of the collapse of
intelligence and the antithesis of wisdom.
Maybe on Mothers Day we need to think about the
impact of our cultural dysfunction on so many mothers
and their children and plan to work on some changes. Or

Big movers

NEWYORK The Dow Jones indus-
trial average punched through another
milestone Tuesday, closing above
15,000 for the rst time just two
months after recovering the last of its
losses from the 2008 nancial crisis.
Good economic reports, strong cor-
porate earnings and fresh support from
central banks helped ease investor con-
cerns about another economic slow-
down. Many had been on the lookout for
signs that a spring swoon would derail
the rally, as happened in each of the past
three years.
Instead, the Dow continued its epic
ascent of 2013, which has seen it climb
1,952 points almost 15 percent
since Jan. 1.
The thing thats been driving stocks
is rising condence, said James
Paulsen, chief investment strategist at
Wells Capital Management. Economic
growth, job creation and the housing
market have been better than expected.
The Dow closed at 15,056.20, up
87.31 points, or 0.6 percent. The
Standard & Poors 500 index added 8.46
points to a record 1,625.96, a gain of
0.5 percent. It has jumped 199 points
this year, or 14 percent.
The record close extends the stock
markets comeback from the depths of
the nancial crisis. Both indexes
reached all-time highs earlier this year,
then kept rising, largely driven by opti-
mism that the U.S. economy will keep
gaining strength.
We dont think people are giving
enough credit to the strength of the
economy, said Ryan Detrick, a senior
technical strategist at Schaeffers
Investment Research. We still like the
market.
Detrick said he was particularly
encouraged by the resurgence in smaller
stocks, which suggested a broad recov-
ery beyond larger companies. The
Russell 2000 index gained eight points
to close at 967.82. It has risen 14 per-
cent this year.
The S&P has climbed higher for six
straight months the longest stretch
of gains since a seven-month run that
started in March 2009, when the market
hit a nancial crisis low, and ended in
October 2009.
All 10 industries in the S&P500 have
joined in the rally. Health-care compa-
nies have led the way, up 19 percent.
The Dow, S&P 500 and Russell 2000
index of small companies are all at
record highs. The sole exception is the
tech-heavy Nasdaq, which remains far
below the peaks it scaled in the dot-com
bubble.
Six years have passed since the Dow
closed above 14,000 for the rst time.
Tuesdays gains piled up with the
growing realization among investors
that the traditional threats to a rising
market higher interest rates, falling
prots, a possible recession are
unlikely to appear anytime soon.
Whats more, with interest rates near
record lows, investors see few other
places to put their money.
In a round of interviews on Monday,
investor Warren Buffett said the stock
market looked reasonably priced even
after its surge. But, Buffett added, people
pay too much attention to markets
reaching highs. They ought to pay
attention when markets hit new lows.
Thats when stocks are getting
cheaper, Buffett told CNBC. Thats
when stocks are going on sale. But peo-
ple do get more excited when they see
new highs.
Stock market milestone: Dow 15,000
The thing thats been driving stocks is
rising condence. ... Economic growth, job creation
and the housing market have been better than expected.

WASHINGTON Federal regulators
on Tuesday warned several companies
that the quick, easy background checks
they are providing online might vio-
late the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
The Federal Trade Commission sent
warning letters to 10 businesses,
including sites like 4Nannies.com and
USA People Search, after FTC staff
posed as employers and creditors look-
ing for information that could be used
to deny a person a job, an apartment or
even insurance.
The law requires that companies pro-
viding information to potential
employers, landlords, insurers and
creditors double check the accuracy of
their records and notify a person if a
background check has been done. And
in some cases, the businesses need to
make sure the person asking for the
information has a legitimate purpose
for receiving it.
If the business doesnt take these
additional steps, it must make clear
that its background checks or consumer
lists may include errors and should be
used for marketing or entertainment
purposes only.
Laura Berger, a staff attorney with the
FTC Bureau of Consumer Protection,
said the FTCs primary concern is that
these companies are aggregating infor-
mation without a persons knowledge
and selling personal records that could
be out-of-date or inaccurate.
They (consumers) dont have the
ability to review, challenge and correct
the information, Berger said.
FTC puts background check sites on notice
Survey: Home prices up 10.5 pct. in past year
WASHINGTON A survey shows U.S. home prices
rose 10.5 percent in March compared with a year ago, the
biggest gain since March 2006.
Core Logic, a real estate data provider, said Tuesday that
annual home prices have now increased for 13 straight
months. Prices are rising in part because more buyers are
bidding on a limited supply of homes for sale.
Prices increased in 46 states over the past year 11 of
them posting double-digit gains. And when excluding
distressed sales, which include foreclosures and short
sales, prices rose in every state. A short sale is when a
home sells for less than what is owed on the mortgage.
Nevada led all states with a 22.2 percent annual gain. It
was followed by California (17.2 percent), Arizona (16.8
percent), Idaho (14.5 percent) and Oregon (14.3 percent).
Home prices also rose 1.9 percent in March from
February, signaling a solid start to the spring buying sea-
son. And 88 of the 100 largest cities reported price gains
compared with a year earlier, down slightly from 92 in
February.
Prices in Phoenix rose 18.8 percent in March from a
year earlier, the largest gain of any city. Los Angeles,
Riverside, Calif., Atlanta and Houston posted the next
largest gains.
Disney 2Q results beat Street; shares rise
LOS ANGELES Revenue gains at Disneys parks and
movie studio led to a 32 percent increase in net income
during the January-March quarter. The results, which
topped analyst expectations Tuesday, showed that the
companys record-setting investments in a new cruise
ship and multiple theme park upgrades last year are start-
ing to pay off.
Net income grew to $1.51 billion, or 83 cents per
share. Factoring out one-time items, adjusted earnings
came to 79 cents per share, beating the 77 cents expected
by analysts surveyed by FactSet.
Revenue grew 10 percent to $10.55 billion, also top-
ping the $10.49 billion expected by analysts.
Parks and resorts revenue rose 14 percent to $3.30 bil-
lion, thanks to higher attendance and guest spending at
U.S. parks in Anaheim and Orlando, Fla.

Dear WCAL, if you want it, come and get
it.
As the defending champions of the West
Catholic Athletic League baseball tourna-
ment and this years No. 1 seed, the Serra
Padres know they have a gigantic red target
on their backs.
But on Tuesday, in Game 1 of the tourney
against No. 8 Sacred Heart Cathedral, the
Padres played like a team that wont suc-
cumb to the pressure but instead thrive on
it. Behind a masterful complete-game, four-
hit outing by ace Orlando Razo, Serra beat
the Irish 4-0.
We ended the season with good momen-
tum, Razo said. We just want to keep the
momentum and keep it on our side heading
into the playoffs.
Were just feeling like were taking this
step by step, said Serra catcher Michael
Tinsley. Every game, we know we have to
win to at least get to that point (the cham-
pionship game). Our mindset is just to win
each game as it comes along no matter who
the opponent is.
On Tuesday, that opponent was a Sacred
Heart team Serra handled easily during the
regular season behind two 9-0 wins the
latter clinched a share of the WCAL regular
season title on the last day of the season.
So there was nothing to worry about,
right?
Well, the tension of playoff baseball let
up a bit in the bottom of the second inning
when Serra took a 2-0 lead.

Neil Sterling followed with a single. John

Defense may win champi-
onships, but it can also be used to
win games during the regular sea-
son.
The Sequoia softball team
proved as much Tuesday in a 4-0
win over Aragon. With starting
pitcher Gina Rodriguez struggling
with her command and the offense
just a bit off, the Cherokees played
awlessly in the eld, turning a
pair of double plays and cutting
down two Aragon runners at the
plate to keep them off the score-
board.
The Cherokees then did just
enough offensively to get some
payback against the Dons. Aragon
rallied from a 7-1 decit to beat
Sequoia 8-7 April 11.
This wasnt about payback. It
was about getting a win, said
Sequoia coach Scott Reynick. Our
defense was really solid. Thats
kind of been a hallmark for us.
The win guarantees at least a
.500 record for Sequoia in its rst
season in the Peninsula Athletic
Leagues Bay Division and keeps
the Cherokees in the running for a
Central Coast Section at-large
berth a term Reynick and the
Cherokees are still getting used to
saying. Playing all those years in
the Ocean Division, there was no
chance for an at-large bid. It was in
the Ocean title and get an automat-
ic berth or bust.
The at-large thing has never
been in our [vocabulary],
Reynick said.
While it took a while for Sequoia
(7-6 PAL Bay, 14-9 overall) to g-
ure out Aragon starting pitcher
Sophia Cerreta, the defense was on
top of its game from the start.

CLEVELAND Zach McAllister and two
relievers combined on a shutout and the
Cleveland Indians scored an unearned run in
the fth inning for their eighth win in nine
games, 1-0 over the Oakland Athletics on
Tuesday night.
McAllister, Rich Hill and Chris Perez lim-
ited the highest-scoring offense in the
majors to six hits and did not allow a runner
to reach second base.
McAllister (3-3) struck out four and
walked one in 7 2-3 innings. The right-han-
der was pulled after John Jasos two-out sin-
gle in the eighth. Hill then retired pinch-
hitter Luke Montz to end the inning and
Perez pitched the ninth for his fourth save.
Tommy Milone (3-4), who lost a career-
worst fourth straight start, was done in by
shoddy defense and no run support. The
Indians managed only ve hits, but errors
by rst baseman Brandon Moss and second
baseman Eric Sogard on the same play in the
fth led to the only run, which scored on
Yan Gomes sacrice y.
The Athletics have scored a total of ve
runs during Milones losing streak after put-
ting up 28 in his rst three outings. The
left-hander struck out ve and walked none
in seven innings.
Yoenis Cespedes singled with one out in
the ninth, but was thrown out trying to steal
second by Gomes. Moss struck out on a 3-2
pitch to end the game.
The unusual fifth inning started when
Carlos Santanas ground ball glanced off
Moss glove and rolled to Sogard, whose
throw to Milone covering rst was wild. The
ball skipped past Oaklands dugout and
rolled behind home plate. Santana ended up
at second and Moss and Sogard were charged
with errors.
Santana moved to third on Mike Aviles
single and scored on Gomes sacrice y to
deep center.
The inning took another strange turn
when Aviles broke for second and was
caught off rst by Milones throw. Sogard
appeared to tag Aviles, but second base

SAN ANTONIO Even a day later, the San
Antonio Spurs still found it difcult to
explain how they won the opener of their sec-
ond-round series against Golden State.
The Spurs overcame Stephen Currys 44
points and became the rst team in postsea-
son history to rally from a 16-point decit
with 4 minutes remaining and earned a 129-
127 victory in double overtime on Monday.
Game 2 is Wednesday night in San Antonio.
I dont know how we managed to tie the
game, Manu Ginobili said Tuesday. We had
some really big shots before regulation, in
the rst overtime and second overtime. It got
us the win, but not sure if we deserved it.
After missing seven straight shots,
Ginobili hit a game-winning 3-pointer with
1.2 seconds remaining to hand Golden State
its 30th straight loss in San Antonio going
back to Feb. 14, 1997.
It was a thrilling game, but one the Spurs
are eager to push aside.
Forget about it; it is over, San Antonio
coach Gregg Popovich said. You can enjoy it
for a short period of time, but now all that
matters is the next game.
Popovich wants the Spurs to move on
because he knows the Warriors can get over a
tough loss.
Golden State won three straight in the
opening round after dropping the series open-
er to Denver.
Overcoming that loss to the Nuggets gave
the young Warriors a boost in condence, as
did Mondays loss.
We were the better basketball team for the
most part of that game, Golden State coach
Mark Jackson said. Now we did some things
that weve got to do better, but weve got to
leave that game feeling good about where we
are.
The Warriors feel especially good about
Currys performance.
The guard had 44 points, including 22 in
the third quarter. He also had 11 assists.
Curry shot 9 for 12 in the third and was 4 for
6 on 3-pointers. At one point in the third quar-

The win-loss record might not
say it, but ask anyone involved
with the Menlo College softball
team and theyll all tell you the
same thing: It indeed was a special
season.
We built a different feeling for
the program, said rst-year head
coach Michell Vlahos. And we did
an amazing job of making this
program 10 times better. And well
do it again next year.
The rest of the California Pacic
Conference recognized this shift
in attitude when it announced its
all conference team. Five Lady
Oaks made the squad and the post-
season awards were highlighted by
Vlahos, who was named the confer-
ences Coach of the Year.
It was an award chosen by my
peer coaches, Vlahos said. And
its just a big feeling of respect
from them
being that this
was my first
year in the con-
ference and usu-
ally the vote
goes to the No.
1 seeded team
so it felt more
r e s p e c t f u l
because I felt we
did a lot with Menlo softball this
year and they went out of the norm
to give me that award. It felt pretty
great.
On the players side, Mary Hall
fronted the list of all-conference
members as the Freshman of the
Year.
Sh,e along with Kayla Cisneroz,
Nicole Larson, Jessica Soliai, and
Emmeline Wang each earned a spot
on the team. Menlo nished the
season with an overall record of
17-27 (4-12 in conference). The
17 wins were the most for a Menlo
softball team since 2008.
They did everything that I
expected, Vlahos said. They
competed more, they were more
aggressive than Menlo has shown
in the past and I think I got lucky
with the group of kids I got. I
couldnt have asked for a better
group of young ladies. We
absolutely competed. Even the
other teams in our conference feel
like they have to show up to play
Menlo College. Thats exactly
what I expected and Im excited
thats what we got.
Hall made an immediate impact
in her freshman campaign as the
Lady Oaks lead-off hitter. Hall bat-
ted .305 with a team-leading four
home runs and 40 hits. She ranked
in the conferences top 10 in home
runs and stolen bases (12).
We got really lucky with Mary
Hall, Vlahos said. Shes a great
kid and she came out strong right
away and made an impact. Thats
why shes such a huge part of
Menlo softball. Anytime shed get
on base, she was huge [and] very
impactful. She was a threat other
teams had to deal with.
Cisneroz, a sophomore, was
named to the all-conference team
for the rst time in her two-year
stint with Menlo softball.
Cisneroz was the team leader in
batting average (.322), runs (27),
doubles (8), slugging percentage
(.466) and on-base percentage
(.407). She was second on the team
in stolen bases (12) and RBIs (23).
Larson, also a sophomore, was
one of two players to earn confer-
ence honors for the second consec-
utive season. Larson was the
teams primary centerelder and led
the team in outfield assists (5)
while boasting a .972 elding per-
centage. Larson nished the sea-
son with the teams fourth-best
batting average (.312), third-best
slugging percentage (.416) and
second-most runs scored (23).
Soliai was named to the all-con-
ference team for the rst time in
her career following her impres-
sive junior campaign. Soliai
proved valuable as the teams
clean-up hitter and rst baseman
hitting .318 with four doubles, a
home run and a team-high 26 RBIs.
She also only committed one error
at rst all season long.
Wang rounds out Menlos confer-
ence honors by earning a spot on
the all-conference team for the sec-
ond-straight season. Wang batted
.314 with 23 runs and eight RBIs.
She stole nine bases and scored 14
runs.
We built a program feel of,
were going to be better, were
going to push harder, were going
to excel more, Vlahos said. We
just pushed every limit. We did
more in the weight room, we had
higher expectations and thats
what we wanted.

NEW YORK The Final Fours
rst two games are moving to cable

the title game remaining on CBS.
Under the 14-year deal the compa-

that. TBS will have it in 2016 and
CBS in 2017.
TBS will also begin airing two of

The two companies recently com-
pleted their third year of the con-
tract, which televised every game in
the tournament for the rst time
using CBS and three Turner channels
TBS, TNT and truTV. The new
approach has drawn strong ratings
and shown viewers are comfortable

Bryan Ortizs boxing experience was evi-
dent in South Citys 13-5 win over San
Mateo yesterday at Orange Park.
In Ortizs rst at bat, he was drilled in the
helmet by San Mateo starting pitcher Drew
Carreon. Not only did Ortiz stay on his feet
and stubbornly attempt to run down to rst
base before his coach had to insist he be
examined at home plate. The junior second
baseman bounced back to have a big day at
the plate, going 3 for 4 with four RBIs,
including an RBI knock in the sixth inning
that proved to be the game-winner.
South City trailed by ve runs after two
innings, but took advantage of eight San
Mateo errors to storm back with 13 unan-
swered runs. With the win, South City
clinches fifth place in the Peninsula
Athletic League Ocean Division, taking a
two-game lead over San Mateo with one
game to go.
We came out here with a rocky start, and
then all that matters is we got a win, Ortiz
said. Were a very resilient team when we
want it. Well, we always want it. We dont
give up.
The Warriors (6-7 in PAL Ocean, 9-15
overall) have now won ve straight, and are
a win away from scoring a moral victory by
nishing with a .500 record in league. Abig
reason for their recent success is the return
of pitcher Andrew Pelzl. The right-hander
was South Citys opening-day starter, but
missed a majority of the season after that
due to inammation in his throwing shoul-
der.
Yesterday marked Pelzls second start
since returning to action April 30 against
Jefferson. The senior earned his second
straight win, working six innings while
allowing seven hits and striking out ve.
South City manager Daryl Semien opted to
go to the bullpen in the seventh with Pelzls
pitch count at 108.
Im not going to take a chance with
that, Semien said. Hes got a chance to
play on the next level.
Things started inauspiciously for Pelzl
though, as he threw 50 pitches over the rst
two innings. San Mateo (4-9, 5-17) sent
nine batters to the plate while scoring three
runs in the rst inning, then scored two
more in the second.
In the rst, Bearcats leadoff hitter Sergio
Noriega led off with an ineld single before
Ryan Fujinaga got the Bearcats on the board
with a long RBI triple to left. After Taylor
Sanft walked, cleanup hitter Alejandro Meza
turned a squeeze play into an RBI single to
score Fujinaga, with the back runners
advancing to second and third on an ineld
throwing error. Another ineld error off the
bat of Melvin Brown allowed Sanft to score,
giving San Mateo a 3-0 lead.
In the second, Noriega once again got
things started with a single, then advanced
to second on a groundout by Fujinaga. Sanft
followed with an RBI triple to score
Noriega, before Sanft scored on a sacrice
y by Meza, giving the Bearcats a 5-0 lead.
Noriega went on to have the biggest day
at the plate of his varsity career, as the
freshman was 4 for 4 with two runs scored.
After starting the season with the San
Mateo frosh-soph squad, Noriega was called
up to the varsity ranks after just three
games, with the Bearcats in need of a leadoff
hitter and centerelder. Currently hitting
.359, Noriega has embraced the leadoff role.
It starts off the team to get on base,
Noriega said. Then it keeps going, and
going, and going, like the rst inning.
San Mateos defensive collapse opened
the door for a South City comeback. The
Warriors had two big innings scoring
four in the third and eight in the sixth
with the Bearcats committing three errors in
each of the frames.
In the third, South City sent eight batters
to the plate, receiving RBI hits from Ortiz,
Jesus Jimenez, and Clay Wayman, then plat-
ing a fourth run on an outeld error to close
San Mateos lead to 5-4.
In the fth, South City tied it up. After a
leadoff double by Jimenez, Josue Rangal hit
a sharp chopper to the left side that caught
the lip of the ineld grass, causing it to at-
ten under the glove of Bearcats shortstop
Meza for an RBI single to tie the game at 5-
5.
In the sixth, South City sent 12 batters to
the plate. In addition to receiving RBIs
from Brandon Barrios, Tyler Keahi, Niko
Lloren, Pelzl, and plating a run by virtue of
a throwing error, the Warriors got three
RBIs from Ortiz, who had two hits in the
inning. Its actually the second time in three
weeks Ortiz has had two hits in an inning,
after he did so amid a 6-for-6 game against
Westmoor two weeks ago.
Hes been coming around, Semien said.
Hes been working really, really hard on
his hitting, and hes coming around. Hes
one of the hardest workers on the team, and
Im glad its starting to come around for
him.
Ortiz is an amateur boxer in the offseason,
training at Ring Of Fire Boxing Club of
Brisbane, though he has yet to have any
ofcial matches. He said he weighs in at 150
pounds on a good day.
South City wins fifth game in a row

SAN FRANCISCO Chase Utley and
Ryan Howard homered to help the
Philadelphia Phillies beat Tim Lincecum
and the San Francisco Giants 6-2 on Tuesday
night.
Utley had three hits and two RBIs, Howard
reached base four times and Kyle Kendrick
pitched seven strong innings to win his
third consecutive decision. The right-hander
extended his scoreless streak on the road to
25 innings before giving up a sacrice y to
Angel Pagan in the third.
Philadelphia has won two straight against
the World Series champions since two-time
Cy Young Award winner Roy Halladay went
on the disabled list with a shoulder injury.
Halladay met with a specialist in Southern
California earlier in the day.
One night after getting handcuffed by
Cliff Lee and the Phillies bullpen, the
Giants couldnt get much going against
Kendrick and two relievers.
Kendrick (4-1) yielded six hits and two
runs, needing only 88 pitches to get
through seven innings. He struck out six,
walked none and allowed only two runners
past second base. Kendrick worked out of a
two-on, none-out jam in the fourth and
retired 12 of his nal 14 batters.
Mike Adams pitched a scoreless eighth
and Jonathan Papelbon worked the ninth to
complete the seven-hitter.
The Giants, coming off a three-game
sweep of the Dodgers last weekend, are now
on the verge of getting swept themselves.
Utley singled and scored in the rst, drove
in Ben Revere with a single in the second
and then homered leading off the fth. All
his hits came off Lincecum. (2-2). Before
that, the Phillies second baseman was bat-
ting .167 against the two-time Cy Young
Award winner.
Howard singled off Lincecum and hit his
sixth homer of the season off reliever Jose
Mijares with two outs in the ninth. The
slugger also walked twice.
Philadelphia has won seven of its last 10
in San Francisco.
Lincecum had another shaky outing after
giving up a career high-tying 10 hits in his
previous start.
Utley hit a one-out line drive that rico-
cheted off Lincecums rear end in the rst
inning and went to second when the pitcher
made an awkward throw that landed in right
field for an error. After Michael Young
walked, Howard singled to right to drive in
Utley.
Laynce Nix singled leading off the second
and scored on a groundout by Jimmy
Rollins. Utleys RBI single made it 3-0.
The Giants pulled to 3-2 in the third on
Pagans sacrice y and an RBI double by
Marco Scutaro.
Utleys home run, his sixth of the year,
put the Phillies up 4-2.
Young doubled home Rollins in the sev-
enth.
NOTES: Kendrick has given up two earned
runs or fewer in six of his seven starts this
season. ... The Phillies were still awaiting
word from Halladays meeting with Dr.
Lewis Yocum in Los Angeles. The right-han-
der went on the 15-day disabled list
Monday.
Phillies beat Giants
Phillies 6, Giants 2 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JOSE Patrick Marleau scored a
power-play goal 13:18 into overtime and
the San Jose Sharks completed their rst
playoff sweep in franchise history, beating
the Vancouver Canucks 4-3 Tuesday night.
Joe Pavelski scored his second power-
play goal of the game to tie it with 4:27 left
in regulation. Brent Burns also scored for
the Sharks, who will now get a break before
beginning the second round of the playoffs
next week.
A win like this feels good, now we will
get some rest, Pavelski said.
Mason Raymond, Alex Burrows and
Alexander Edler scored for the Canucks, who
were unable to hold onto a late third-period
lead for the second time this series.
Cory Schneider made big stops early in
the overtime, but gave up the rebound that
led to Marleaus series-clinching goal.
With Daniel Sedin sent off for boarding
Tommy Wingels, the Sharks came through
with their third power-play goal of the night
to win it. Joe Thorntons shot hit off
Schneider and the puck was bouncing in the
crease when Marleau just got his stick on it
to score the winner, setting off a wild cele-
bration at the Shark Tank and sending
Vancouver to another early playoff exit.
The Canucks have lost 10 of their past 11
playoff games to raise major questions
about the future of a franchise that made it to
Game 7 of the Stanley Cup nals just two
years ago.
Vancouver lost the nal two games of that
series to Boston to miss out on the rst title
in franchise history. It fell in ve games as
the top seed in the Western Conference to
eventual champion Los Angeles in the rst
round last year and was blitzed by the sixth-
seeded Sharks this year.
The Canucks have scored just 18 goals in
their past 11 postseason games and that
futility could end up costing coach Alain
Vigneault his job among other possible off-
season changes.
Stars Daniel and Henrik Sedin did not
score a goal all series and the Canucks were
unable to stay out of the penalty box or hold
late leads.
Vancouver took the lead with two goals in
a span of 1:50 midway through the third
period. The rst came on the power play
when Andrew Desjardins was sent off for
roughing. Henrik Sedin set up the tying
goal with a nifty blind pass to twin brother
Daniel, who fed Burrows in front of the net
for the easy tap-in.
Then Burrows won a battle for the puck in
the corner and fed Edler in the high slot for a
slap shot. It beat Antti Niemi and gave the
Canucks their first lead since Patrick
Marleaus tying goal in the nal minute of
regulation in Game 2 in Vancouver.
But just as in Game 2, Vancouver couldnt
hold onto a late lead after Kevin Bieksa was
sent off for cross-checking Wingels. Bieksa
complained on the off-day that the Sharks
embellished penalties and lacked integrity,
making his infraction even sweeter for the
sold-out crowd that booed him all night.
Bieksa could only watch from the penalty
box as Pavelski pounced on a rebound of
Logan Coutures shot and knocked a back-
hand into the open net for his fourth goal in
the past two games.
Sharks win in overtime
and sweep the Canucks

umpire Paul Nauert ruled the runner
was safe. Aviles was credited with a
stolen base.
Oakland manager Bob Melvin
angrily argued the call with Nauert
and gave a disgusted wave to rst
base umpire John Tumpane on his
way off the eld, but he wasnt
ejected.
McAllister retired the rst seven
hitters before Sogard beat out an
infield hit. Shortstop Asdrubal
Cabrera circled to the ball and his
long throw pulled Santana off the
bag at rst, but Sogard beat the
play.
Milone sent down the rst six
hitters before Ryan Raburn dou-
bled to lead off the third. Raburn
took third on a groundout, but was
stranded when Gomes grounded out
and Drew Stubbs struck out.
Jason Kipnis started the fourth
with a double, but his bid to steal
third went awry when he broke too
early from second. Instead of
throwing to the plate, Milone
threw to third baseman Josh
Donaldson, who tagged Kipnis.
Nick Swisher singled with two
outs, but Mark Reynolds hit into a
elders choice.
McAllister threw a 1-1 pitch at
Donaldsons feet with two outs and
nobody on in the second.
Donaldson glared at McAllister
over the pitch, which could have
been a response to Reynolds being
hit by Jarrod Parker following two
home runs by the Indians on
Monday.
Oakland outelder Josh Reddick,
in a 3-for-27 slump and batting
.152, missed the game with a sore
right wrist.

second by Sequoia catcher Ashley Killmon.
ARodriguez strikeout ended the inning.
In the second, Cerreta walked to lead off
the inning and Olivia DiSanto bunted for a
base hit. Awild pitch allowed both runners
to move up and put runners on second and
third with no outs. After a popout to
Rodriguez, she induced Lila Drobroff into a
comebacker. Rodriguez underhanded a throw
to Makayla Genardini at rst for the second
out. Genardini then red home to Killmon,
who tagged out Cerreta trying to score to
end the inning.
In the third, Aragons Nicole Breidis
walked, but Rodriguez induced a shallow
popup that third baseman Mikalya Wilkes
caught for the out and then red to second
baseman Jackie Hutchison, who was cover-
ing rst, to double up Briedis to extinguish
another potential Dons rally.
Aragon had another potential run wiped
out at the plate in the sixth. With one out,
Ching doubled to center. Nicole Horrita fol-
lowed and hit a blooper into shallow right
eld for a base hit. Ching attempted to score
from second on the hit, but Sequoia right-
elder Allison Amaya red a bullet home to
Killmon, who slapped the tag on Ching for
the out.
(Defense) is something we rely on to win
ballgames, Reynick said.
The Sequoia offense didnt generate much
against Cerreta or Aragon reliever Sarah
Nelson, managing just eight hits for the
game. But the Cherokees did enough during
a four-run third inning which would be all
the offense they would need. Caitlin
Castagnola led off the inning with a bunt
single and came home on a Sarah Singh dou-
ble down the left-eld line. Wilkes followed
and traded places with Singh, also coming
up with an RBI double into the corner in left
eld. Killmon then came to the plate and hit
a shot that the shortstop couldnt handle,
enabling Wilkes to score from second and
Killmon to get to two bases. Killmon took
third on a wild pitch and scored on a Claire
Casey groundout to close the scoring.
I thought we could hit better, Reynick
said. It was a drastic change in velocity
from what weve been seeing.
The win keeps the Cherokees in fourth
place in the Bay Division and, while not an
automatic transfer spot into CCS, the Bay
Divisions fourth-place team traditionally
has been extended an at-large bid. The
Cherokees can strengthen their chances
with a win against Half Moon Bay Thursday,
but a CCS bid wont make or break the
Cherokees, Reynick said.
Finishing fourth in the Bay and poten-
tially getting an at-large bid to CCS is a
great season for us in our rst year in the
Bay, Reynick said. .500 or better in
league is another mark that feels good for
this team. CCS doesnt dene our season.
Certainly [CCS is] the objective.
SOFTBALL
choice to shortstop brought in the games
rst run. Tinsley followed that at-bat with a
single to centereld to double the advan-
tage.
Im just trying to give the team a good
spark in terms of getting on base and give
everyone else condence that they can do
the same thing, Tinsley said. Having a
lead-off hitter on is huge for a teams
morale. Once they see one person get on,
everyone else just rallies behind it and says,
We can get on too.
I didnt get the job done in my rst at-bat
but Mickey (McDonald) picked me up and he
had a pretty good game too. Just overall,
once someone does that job of getting on
base, then everyone else can follow.
Jordan Paroubeck took note and led off the
third inning with a single. After a pair of
outs and a Watkins walk, Sterling came up
big time and doubled to the opposite eld,
scoring Paroubeck easily to make it 3-0.
There were some times we were pushed to
see who could come through and who could-
nt, Tinsley said of Serras recent offense.
And, our team really responded positively
to that. We had a lot of key hits, a lot of key
doubles and RBIs. We just passed all our
tests.
While the Serra offense was busy building
a lead, Razo was focused on keeping it.
Sacred Heart managed just four hits and got
only as far as second base of three times.
The left-hander struck out ve.
I felt pretty good today coming off a cou-
ple of rough outings when I didnt have my
best stuff, so it just felt good to get ahead
and the offense did a great job, Razo said.
This was a great team win but we still have
two more to go.
Basically, getting ahead was the key. For
some reason, I kind of lost movement in my
two-seam fastball a little bit and this week I
kind of got it back. That was a big differ-
ence. I got a lot of ground balls with the
sinker. That really helped a lot and the
defense did a great job. Mickey and Watkins
turned a couple of double plays that were
huge.
Added Tinsley of Razo: We kind of just
worked on making sure he wasnt over-
throwing, just getting his mechanics down
and keeping his mind right because the
biggest enemy to anyone is their own
head.
Serra added another run in the bottom of
the sixth when Sacred Hearts pitcher
walked four straight hitters. Paroubeck
picked up that RBI with Martin scoring.
SERRA
ter, he lost his dribble, calmly scooped up the
ball and made a jumper from the top of the key
in one uid motion that exasperated Tony
Parker.
Limiting Currys production in Game 2 is
key to San Antonio preserving its home-court
advantage.
Wed like to gure out how to hold Curry
below 40, Popovich said. Ive got like 10
phone calls out for people asking for sugges-
tions. Hes unbelievable, unbelievable. Hes
something to watch.
Obviously, well try to see if we can gure
out some way to limit him a little bit. Its pret-
ty obvious thats a god idea.
The Spurs held Curry to six points following
the third quarter after giving the defensive
assignment to Kawhi Leonard, who is 6-foot-
7.
Kawhi did a good job of just running me off
the 3-point line and funneling me to help and
relying on that second line of defense to step
up, Curry said. There are certain plays where
I looked at the lm and I could have attacked a
different angle or on different spots on the oor
and still got my jumper off against Kawhi. Ill
make my adjustments there.
The Spurs also beneted from Klay
Thompson fouling out.
Thompson had 19 points and ve rebounds
while defending Parker for much of the game.
Parker had 16 points in the fourth quarter and
two overtimes.
The fact that Thompson was out of the game
helped a little bit (defensively against Curry),
too, the Spurs Boris Diaw said. Thats more
help, more shift, but we tried different things.
Hes a great player, hes tough to stop. I think
he got tired too because it was a long game, but
we had to try different things, tried to help a lit-
tle more at the end of the game.
Curry said while his legs felt a little heavy at
the end of regulation, he actually felt stronger
in the overtimes.
Slowing Curry helped the Spurs close regula-
tion on an 18-2 run to force overtime, despite
losing Tim Duncan for much of the nal stretch
to a stomach bug.
Duncan left the game with 3 minutes left in

Imagine your favorite cheese: perhaps an
aged, sharp cheddar, or maybe a blue
Gorgonzola or a gentle Monterey Jack.
Wouldnt it be wonderful to use those really
good cheeses you love on nachos or as a
sauce on macaroni or steamed vegetables?
But if you have ever tried melting high-
quality cheeses, youve experienced the
problem: the cheese separates into a greasy
oil slick that no amount of stirring will
restore.
One traditional workaround is to make a
Mornay sauce, which combines the cheese
with a cooked mixture of our, butter and
milk. But a Mornay sauce can end up tasting
as much of cooked our as it does of cheese.
The starch in the our actually masks some
of the avors in the cheese, so the sauce
loses its vibrancy.
A clever Canadian-born cheesemaker in
Chicago discovered a much better solution
around 1912. His name may ring a bell
James L. Kraft.
Kraft found that adding a small amount of
sodium phosphate to the cheese as it melted
kept it from turning into a clumpy mess of
cheese solids swimming in a pool of oil.
Kraft patented his invention and used it to
make canned, shelf-stable cheese. He sold
millions of pounds of the stuff to the
American military during World War I. The
technique ultimately led to the creation of
Velveeta and a whole universe of processed
cheese products.
You can apply the very same chemistry,
however, to achieve much higher culinary
purposes. The chefs in our research kitchen
have made mac and cheese with an intense
goat gouda and cheddar sauce, for example,
and build gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches
using cheese slices that melt like the
processed stuff, but are made from feta or
Stilton.
In place of sodium phosphate, we use sodi-
um citrate, which is easier to nd in grocery
stores or online. Like sodium phosphate,
sodium citrate is an emulsifying salt that
helps tie together the two immiscible com-
Science helps craft the perfect mac and cheese
When making cheese sauce, add 4 grams of sodium citrate for every 100 grams of nely
grated cheese and 93 grams of water or milk.

FOOD
She paints a heroic picture of her mother,
Magdalena Perez, who worked long hours at
housecleaning jobs by day, and then worked
as a cook at night. Guerrero said she got used
to being awakened by the sounds of pots and
pans, because her mother often dealt with her
frequent insomnia by experimenting in the
kitchen.
My mom used to just tinker in the
kitchen, said Guerrero, If she couldnt
sleep, she would tinker with her recipes. She
was always saying things like, Hey, look at
this, I added vinegar, and look what it did to
the avor.
Guerrero said the restaurants name, Magda
Luna, is a play on her mothers rst name.
She said their decision to go into business
was partly due to Magdalenas dissatisfaction
with the quality of food she experienced
when eating out.
She was never pleased with the restaurant
food we got anywhere, and she wanted to
serve the kind of food we eat at home,
because ours is really different, she said.
Magda Luna also addresses Guerreros main
issue with restaurant food. For years, she
adhered to a vegan diet, out of concern for
animal welfare. Although shes no longer a
vegan, Guerrero said if she doesnt know
exactly where a restaurant gets its meat, she
wont eat it. Magda Lunas meat, poultry and
dairy products come from Niman Ranch,
Marys Chickens and Clover Stornetta
Farms, all of which have built their reputa-
tions on humane treatment of animals and
organic, sustainable farming practices.
Though Guerrero said the higher cost of
these ethically sourced ingredients are
reected in Magda Lunas prices, the selec-
tions can hardly be described as expensive.
Prices range from $2.95 for a crispy taco to
$16.75 for a carne asada plate with thin-
sliced lets of arrachera steak that would put
most steak houses to shame.
Since its August opening, Magda Luna has
been popular with health-conscious diners
who value organically grown food thats free
of hormones and antibiotics.
Especially with parents, were a huge
hit, she said. We have one father who
comes in regularly because he likes being
able to give his daughter Mexican food thats
not fattening and not covered in lard. ... We
never use lard.
Elaborating on what her restaurant does
and doesnt do, Guerrero said, Were a casual
caf, but were not fast-food. We dont make
things until theyre ordered. We make our
own tortillas from scratch. We use real eggs,
not pre-scrambled egg products. Instead of
tofu, which is processed, we sub in veggies
for the meatless versions of our dishes. The
veggies are grilled or sauted when theyre
ordered, so theyre not sitting under heat
lamps, losing their nutrients.
The bright airiness of Magda Lunas spa-
cious dining room contrasts with the almost
carnal red of its walls, which bear three large
skull paintings by local artist Alyssa
Levitan. Rendered in classic El Da de los
Muertos (Day of the Dead) style, the paint-
ings echo one of Guerreros other passions:
She is a member of Damas de Los Muertos, a
team in the ercely competitive Peninsula
Roller Girls roller derby league.
The teams name translates as Ladies of the
Dead, and their uniforms and spooky make-
up are consistent with the art on Magda
Lunas walls. At a bout last year, a devoted fan
held up a homemade sign reading, Come on
Private Choke-Her, let me see your war face!
Private Choke-Her is Guerreros stage
name, so it should come as no surprise that
she got into the rough-and-tumble world of
roller derby competition because she saw it
as a natural progression from the boxing and
wrestling which characterized her active
lifestyle.
Guerrero is obviously not one to shrink
from a challenge. She admits, however, that
the fast pace of her wildly popular eatery does
take its toll. Shed applied to law school just
prior to opening the restaurant, and now
sometimes wonders if becoming a lawyer
would have been easier.
Ive never worked so hard in my life,
never even come close to it, she said.

If you go
about victim Albert Korns death, said
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Ajury deliberated less than three hours in
February before convicting Hutchinson of
felony murder which is rst-degree murder
during the commission of another felony,
namely burglary and robbery. Prosecutors
could have sought the death penalty but did
not. Jurors also convicted Hutchinson of res-
idential burglary, robbery and the special
allegations of inicting great bodily injury
against Korn.
Korn died two weeks after the severe June
2, 2009 beating when his family removed
him from life support.
Korn had been inside his Hallmark Drive
home, awaiting the return of his adult son
who made a run to The Home Depot for
address numbers, when prosecutors say
Hutchinson broke through a window with an
intent to steal.
After attacking Korn, Hutchinson ed in
the mans Jaguar which was later found aban-
doned. He was arrested in Yolo County after a
series of similar home invasion robberies.
Prior to his trial for Korns murder,
Hutchinson was convicted of the Yol o
County robberies and sentenced to six years
and eight months in prison. Hutchinson also
spent time at Napa State Hospital after being
found mentally incompetent.
During trial, defense attorney Jim
Thompson said Korn may have been injured
in a fall like one hed had the year previous
and that the evidence linking his client to the
break-in was circumstantial.
After the conviction, prosecutors dropped
an assault case for Hutchinsons alleged
attack on correctional ofcers in the county
jail while awaiting the murder trial.

ponents of cheese: oil and water.
MODERNIST MAC AND CHEESE
Weve offered both weight and volume
measurements for this recipe. But as with
most modernist recipes, a digital scale is
best. Sodium citrate is widely available
online. Feel free to substitute an equal
amount of your favorite cheeses in this
recipe. If you have an immersion blender,
you can use it to blend the cheese sauce
instead of transferring it to a food processor.
But this can cause splattering, so do so with
care.
Start to nish: 30 minutes
Servings: 5
2 cups elbow macaroni
265 milliliters (1 1/8 cups) milk or water
11 grams (2 1/4 teaspoons) sodium citrate
285 grams (about 2 1/2 cups) nely grated
white cheddar cheese
Salt, to taste
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the
pasta and cook until al dente, 5 to 6 minutes.
Drain the pasta, but do not rinse it.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over
medium heat, whisk together the milk or
water and sodium citrate. Bring to a simmer.
Add the cheese, a spoonful at a time, stirring
well between additions. Continue stirring
until the cheese is melted and steaming, then
transfer the sauce to a food processor.
Process until completely smooth, about 30
seconds.
Transfer the cheese sauce immediately back
to the saucepan, and return to the heat. Once
the sauce is hot, add the pasta, and stir until
coated. Season with salt.

NEW YORK Food may not have
been their rst calling, but coming late
to the culinary scene clearly hasnt
slowed David Chang and Paul Kahan.
On Monday, the two were jointly hon-
ored as the nations most outstanding
chefs by the James Beard Foundation,
an exclamation point on circuitous
careers that began in other elds
Chang in nance and Kahan in comput-
er science but saw them quickly
ascend to the top of the restaurant world.
The men only the third pair to tie
for the top chef award in the foundations
history have been lauded as restaurant
revolutionaries. Changs edgy, in-your-
face style not to mention a deft hand
with steamed pork buns has spawned
a global empire of media and restaurants,
including New Yorks Momofuku Ko and
Ma Peche some of the hottest, hard-
to-get tables in the city.
I grew up dreaming what it might be
like to do this and how impossible it
might be, said Chang, who said he has
idolized Kahan for years. Im really,
truly honored. Atie could not have been
better because Im glad Im not up here
by myself. Chang owes his second
career largely to an obsession with
ramen noodles, which led him to Tokyo
and eventually back to school for a culi-
nary degree (his rst had been in reli-
gion). By 2004, he opened his rst
restaurant, Momofuku Noodle Bar, and
accolades piled up. New York Times crit-
ic Frank Bruni even called Chang the
New York restaurant worlds equivalent
of Tiger Woods or Roger Federer.
Kahan is at the forefront of Chicagos
increasingly robust restaurant scene.
After leaving computer science, he
spent years apprenticing to some of the
citys top talent, including Rick
Bayless. He spun that experience into
an award-winning restaurant group that
includes Blackbird, Avec and The
Publican, all of which reect his own
culinary obsession sustainably
sourced ingredients and close relation-
ships with producers.
You cant beat Chang, but a tie is
OK, Kahan said.
The James Beard awards honor those
who follow in the footsteps of Beard,
considered the dean of American cook-
ing when he died in 1985. Mondays cer-
emony honored chefs and restaurants; a
similar event on Friday was held for
book and other media awards. Previous
ties for the outstanding chef award went
to Larry Forgione and Jean-Louis
Palladin in 1993, and Wolfgang Puck
and Jean-Georges Vongerichten in 1998.
Chang has won three previous Beard
awards, including for best new restau-
rant for Momofuku Ko in 2009 and ris-
ing star chef in 2007. Kahan was named
a regional best chef in 2004. Both men
lost out for the same honor last year to
Daniel Humm, the chef behind New
Yorks Eleven Madison Park.
The foundations top restaurant award
this year went to Dan Barbers Blue Hill
in New York City. Barber who was
the foundations top chef in 2009
follows a minimalist culinary philoso-
phy that he calls American seasonal.
He believes exceptional ingredients
should be allowed to stand on their
own. Asignature dish is vegetables on
a fence, baby vegetables simply pre-
pared and presented speared on a row of
upright prongs.
I feel like the luckiest chef in
America today, Barber said. He joking-
ly credited his restaurants success in
part to the difculty of nding it on New
Yorks back streets. They are so much
hungrier than they would have been, he
said. I have this feeling, this convic-
tion that the food tastes better than it
otherwise would.
State Bird Provisions in San
Francisco known for its dizzying
array of small plates served from a cart
by husband-and-wife team Stuart Brioza
and Nicole Krasinski was named best
new restaurant. Meanwhile, Del Posto
Mario Batalis ode to ne dining in
New York took home two awards, out-
standing service and outstanding pastry
chef (Brooks Headley).
The groups Lifetime Achievement
award went to chef and restaurateur
Cecilia Chiang, who founded San
Franciscos Mandarin Restaurant and
has been credited with introducing
Mandarin cuisine to the United States.
The Humanitarian of the Year honor
went to Emeril Lagasse, whose Emeril
Lagasse Foundation in New Orleans sup-
ports nonprot and educational pro-
grams aimed at disadvantaged children.
The groups efforts, which are focused in
communities where Lagasse has restau-
rants, have included creating an outdoor
classroom, school gardens, a fresh
foods cafeteria and a culinary learning
center.

cled water to reduce the need for fresh
Hetch Hetchy water.
In March, the San Mateo County
Civil Grand Jury released a report
Water Recycling An Important
Component of Wise Water
Management that encouraged the two
cities in the county that currently recy-
cle water, Daly City and Redwood City,
to expand their programs while encour-
aging other cities, such as San Mateo
and Foster City, to continue their
efforts in establishing such programs.
Most cities in the county, however, do
not have any efforts in place to take up
water recycling, according to the civil
grand jury.
Some cities are starting to respond to
the civil grand jury on its water report
as mandated by state law and this past
Monday night, the San Mateo City
Council gave staff direction to continue
pursuing its recycled water efforts.
Currently, San Mateo and the Estero
Municipal Improvement District,
which serves Foster City, are creating a
Wastewater Treatment Plant Master
Plan that explores the feasibility of
producing recycled water.
The county and its cities must diversi-
fy their water supply sources and reduce
their residents dependence on water
from the Hetch Hetchy regional water
system, according to the civil grand
jury report.
Recycled water is sewage treated to
remove solids and certain other impuri-
ties, such as metals and ammonia, so
the water can be used in landscape irri-
gation and industrial processes, or to
recharge groundwater aquifers, accord-
ing to the civil grand jury report.
In 2007, the city of San Mateo adopt-
ed its Sustainable Initiatives Plan
which called for a market survey on
developing a recycled water system
since the supply is expected to decrease
and the cost is expected to triple,
according to a Public Works
Department report.
The market survey indicated the
potential recycled water user types
within the city are primarily landscape
irrigation at parks, golf courses, high-
density residential buildings, highway
medians, schools and industrial or com-
mercial cooling systems with a cooling
tower.
Potential users in San Mateo would
have a demand for 6.2 million gallons
of recycled water a day and the citys
Wastewater Treatment Plant treats a
daily ow of 12 million gallons a day,
according to the market survey.
If properly treated, there would be an
ample recycled water supply to meet the
potential recycled water users needs,
according to the market survey.
Constructing the pipelines and pump
stations in San Mateo, however, would
cost at least $25.4 million in capital
costs and about $340,000 a year after to
maintain the system.
City staff have reached out to the
California Water Service Company,
which provides water for San Mateo res-
idents, to see if it would be interested in
a potential partnership to develop a
recycled water program and may assist
in the construction, operation and
maintenance of the distribution sys-
tem, according to the market survey.
WATER
an average monthly bill of $58.96 but
that could climb to as much as $73.61 a
month by 2016, according to Cal
Water.
The CPUC, however, typically
approves rates lower than what a com-
pany requests when it les for rate
increases.
Cal Water is a private, employee-
owned company whereas most resi-
dents in the county are served by
municipal water districts with elected
boards.
The municipal districts have been
raising water rates for years. In 2012,
the Estero Municipal Improvement
District that serves Foster City raised
its rates 30 percent because the San
Francisco Public Utilities Commission
raised its water price for the district by
41 percent to help pay for a $4.6 bil-
lion water system improvement pro-
gram.
Local water providers in the county
are all represented by the Bay Area
Water Supply and Conservation
Agency, which negotiates for its 23-
member agencies with the SFPUC on
water rates. Water rates have risen
across the board and will likely contin-
ue to despite conservation efforts due to
the xed cost of providing water.
Even if a customer does not use any
water, the cost to provide it is xed,
according to Cal Water.
Across the state, Cal Water serves 23
districts and is asking the CPUC to OK
an additional $92.8 million in revenue
or about a 19.4 percent increase for
2014. In total, it wants to raise an addi-
tional $126 million from all of its cus-
tomers in the state by 2016 which will
raise rates for most by about 25 percent
over the three-year period.
In the Bayshore District, infrastruc-
ture improvements that need to be made
include:
Replacement of electrical control
facilities;
Purchase of standby generators to
allow continued service during power
outages;
Purchase of energy-monitoring
equipment to improve efciency and
reduce costs in the long run;
Construction of new Customer and
Operations Center to improve operat-
ing efciency;
Purchase of property for and con-
struction of additional wells to improve
quality and supply;
Replacement of six miles of aging
water mains;
Construction of ve storage tanks
totaling 3.6 million gallons to
improve supply;
Installation of pressure-reducing
valves to serve lower zones when pur-
chased water is not available;
Coating of interior of 11 storage
tanks to maintain life of the tanks;
Additional water treatment; and
Desalination investigation to deter-
mine feasibility of treating brackish
water.
State law also mandates that water
providers achieve a 20 percent reduc-
tion in per capita water use by the year
2020 which is why such a big emphasis
has been put on conservation efforts.
The Bayshore District also covers
Colma, portions of Daly City and por-
tions of unincorporated San Mateo
County.
RATES
Although Forrest reportedly pos-
sessed more than 400 illegal images
on a USB drive and laptop, the law typ-
ically allows a person only to be
charged for each incident of posses-
sion rather than the total number of
photographs or videos. The Feb. 21
complaint led by the state Attorney
Generals Ofce alleged that Forrest
possessed child pornography once on
Dec. 20 and another Dec. 21. Those are
the days federal agents searched his
ofce at the Youth Services Center in
San Mateo and the San Mateo County
Superior Court placed him on adminis-
trative leave. Forrest reportedly tried
killing himself on the steps of a San
Mateo church when confronted by
sheriffs deputies and 10 days later
retired from the county.
Forrest served as the chief probation
officer since 2009. The county
installed an interim director after
Forrest left and is currently narrowing
down contenders for the permanent
position.
Forrest remains free on $100,000
bail posted immediately after he sur-
rendered in February.
He returns to court July 2 for a pretri-
al conference followed by jury trial
July 15. Trial is estimated to last ve
days.

TaUrUs (April 20-May 20) -- You might feel that
you cant accomplish something without assistance.
Normally, you work far better when alone, and,
inclinations to the contrary, today will be no
different.
GeMini (May 21-June 20) -- By all means, be
helpful to those who genuinely need assistance, but
know when someone else can handle something
without your interference.
CanCer (June 21-July 22) -- You should be realistic
about your expectations for social engagements. If
you dont, you could end up being very disappointed.
LeO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Normally, you have the
tenacity to achieve your desired results. However,
you might be all too willing to prematurely throw in
the towel today.
VirGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Most of the time, you
tend to be a very fexible person, but you can be
very rigid as well, if youre not careful. Dont cling to
untenable positions.
LiBra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If someone requests
that you make good on a debt or obligation, do your
best to do so, even if you technically have more
time.
sCOrPiO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- There are always
two sides to every issue. Try to be fexible in your
outlook, so that you dont overlook a quality solution.
saGiTTariUs (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You might think
that youre only temporarily shelving an unpleasant
task, but this brief respite could turn into an eternity.
Better to just hold your nose and get down to it.
CaPriCOrn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If your attitude
is glum rather than gregarious, youll only make
yourself and those around you miserable. Buck up
or go home.
aQUariUs (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If you fail to attend
to certain domestic responsibilities, you will amass
an extraordinary level of guilt. You shouldnt let this
happen.
PisCes (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Its best not to
discuss something that youre passionate about
with a pessimistic associate. By the time he or she
is through commenting, you might wrongly feel like
ditching the whole thing.
aries (March 21-April 19) -- It behooves you to be
as prudent as possible in the management of your
funds. Dont borrow what could be diffcult to repay.

WORLD 28
By Barbara Surk
BEIRUT In his rst response to Israels
weekend airstrikes, President Bashar Assad
said Tuesday that Syria is capable of facing
Israel, but stopped short of threatening retal-
iation for the strikes near the Syrian capital
of Damascus.
Assad spoke after a meeting with Iranian
Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi, who paid
an unexpected visit to Damascus.
Iran, one of Syrias closest allies, and
Hezbollah, a Lebanese militia allied with
both Assad and Tehran, have become increas-
ingly involved in Syrias civil war, support-
ing the regime with ghters, military advis-
ers and weapons. Syria and Hezbollah have
been key to Irans expansion of inuence
into the Arab world, and a collapse of the
Assad regime would be a major blow to
Tehran.
We are fully condent that Syria will
emerge victorious from the crisis, Salehi
said about the more than 2-year-old battle
between ghters loyal to Assad and rebels
trying to oust him.
Israels airstrikes on Friday and Sunday put
Syria and Iran in a difcult position because if
they retaliated, they would run the risk of
drawing Israels powerful army into the war.
At the same time, inaction further weakens
Assads already shaky claims to being the
leader of the Arab worlds hard-line, anti-
Israeli camp.
Israel has not formally acknowledged the
strikes, but Israeli ofcials have said they tar-
geted shipments of advanced Iranian weapons
possibly bound for Hezbollah. The ofcials
have said the aim was to deprive Hezbollah of
weapons that could someday be used against
Israel, not to raise tensions with Syria.
Israel has largely stayed on the sidelines
since the uprising against Assad, which
erupted in March 2011, turned into an armed
insurgency and nally a civil war.
But on Tuesday, Assad accused Israel of sup-
porting terrorists the Syrian govern-
ments name for the anti-regime rebels and
boasted that Syria was capable of facing
Israels ventures. He did not say what action
he would take, if any.
