As the deadline to submit com-
ments on the Caltrain electrica-
tion Draft Environmental Impact
Report approaches, Burlingame
city ofcials are relieved to hear its
prized eucalyptus grove is mostly
out of harms way but still has a
range of concerns including trafc
and noise impacts and wants
explicit assurance high-speed rail
measures arent being approved.
According to a letter to be sub-
mitted to the Peninsula Corridor
Joint Powers Board, the City
Council wants assurance Caltrain
wont use right-of-way acquisition
within the city, that the gate down-
times due to increased trains at its
busy Broadway crossings are miti-
gated and nd ways to reduce the
noise impacts from loud freight
trains between midnight and 5 a.m.
For environmental benefits,
faster service and the ability to
eventually support high-speed rail,
Caltrain plans 51 miles of tracks
from San Jose to San Francisco to
be 75 percent electried by 2020
and fully by 2040, according to
Caltrain ofcials.
In the worst-case scenario, sup-
porting the electrication infra-
structure could require Caltrain to
purchase or arrange easements for
up to 18 acres throughout the elec-
tried track and the removal of up
to 2,200 trees and pruning of
another 3,600 to support six trains
per hour in each direction and assist
in supporting the anticipated dou-
bling of its current 1.3 million
monthly ridership in 30 years,
according to Caltrain ofcials.
The public has until April 29 to

A huge purchase in the ballpark
of $100 million for a 276,551-
square-foot Class Aofce complex
in San Mateo was recently
announced by Harvest Properties.
The two mid-rise towers, called
Century Centre I and II, are near the
intersection of Highway 101 and
State Route 92 at 1400 and 1450
Fashion Island Blvd. Harvest made
the purchase with partner LaSalle
Investment Management for about
$360 per square foot. The seller was
Fisher Investments. The location,
midway between major employ-
ment centers with established tech-
nology markets, was key, accord-
ing to Harvest.
These neighboring well-estab-
lished technology markets (San
Francisco, Palo Alto, Mountain
View and Cupertino) are experienc-
ing increasing rents and tightening
vacancy rates, said Tom Wagner,
partner with Harvest in an email.

With more and more chain stores
moving into downtown
Burlingame, one local independ-
ent shop has stayed put on Lorton
Avenue for almost three decades.
The womens clothing store
Meyer-Bunje off of Burlingame
Avenue recently celebrated its
25th anniversary in the city. Its
owner Frankie Meyer rst opened
the store on March 1, 1989 with
her friend Sarah Bunje, who retired
10 years ago. Hard work and per-
sistence have been whats kept
business coming, Meyer said.
Being part of business community
organizations like the Business
Improvement District has also
helped.
This section of town was very
undeveloped at that point, said
Meyer, who lives on the coast and
has ve grandchildren. I know
whats going on in the community
and fashion. You have to be aware
of what youre doing. It is tough
with a lot of big box stores.
Much of the clothing at the store
in the early days was created by
Meyer herself who was an art
teacher before opening her own
business. She started designing
and creating clothing in San
Mateo rst, painting on fabric at
times. Now, most of the clothing
comes from other artists and
brands like Lee Anderson, Ellen
Hopley and FDJ Jeans unless she
is sparked with inspiration. Her
style of eclectic, art-like clothing
wasnt so mainstream when she
rst opened the shop, but now has
caught on more.
Im trying to keep an art-
inspired theme, she said. The
rst person who walked into the
store said whos going to buy
this?
Since the quality of the clothing
is so high, sometimes she nds
customers dont need to buy new
things since the clothing doesnt
wear out. Colored scarves, wool
garments, jewelry, dress, silk
materials and other items of vary-
ing price ranges grace the garment
store.
Meanwhile, shes had some of
the same customers since day one
of opening, she said.
Its fun interacting with peo-

Miss America: Rethink
suspension over prom query
YORK, Pa. Miss America is ask-
ing a Pennsylvania school district to
reconsider the punishment of a high
school senior who asked her to prom
during the question-and-answer por-
tion of an assembly.
The York Dispatch reported Sunday
that Nina Davuluri posted a statement
on the Miss America Organizations
Facebook page saying she contacted
Central York High School to ask of-
cials to rethink the three-day in-
school suspension issued to 18-year-
old Patrick Farves.
Davuluri says her travel schedule
will prevent her from attending the
dance with Farves.
School ofcials had learned ahead of
time about Farves stunt and warned
him not to do it. They say Farves was
suspended for misbehaving.
He apologized for disrupting
Thursdays event. Davuluri was there
to talk about the importance of sci-
ence, technology, engineering and
math studies.
Woman reunited with
dog, TV snatched on 1st date
DOVER, N.J. Awoman has been
reunited with her Yorkshire Terrier and
at-screen TV that were snatched dur-
ing her rst date with a man she met
online.
The woman called police early
Saturday to say that her dog, Violet,
had been tied by its leash to the TV, and
both were left in the front yard of her
Dover home, the Daily Record of
Parsippany reported. Violet appeared
to be in good health.
Authorities say the pair met on a dat-
ing site and went out for the rst time
Thursday night. After returning home,
the woman said she became occupied in
another room, leaving the man alone.
When she returned, he was gone - and
so were her dog, valued at $4,000, and
her TV, worth about $3,000.
The woman said she knew the man
only as Joel and believed he lived in
Elizabeth. Police said Saturday that
they know the mans identity and that
charges could be filed, though the
investigation is ongoing.
Police said the man used the womans
cellphone, so they dusted it for nger-
prints. They also checked other loca-
tions that the short-lived couple visit-
ed on their date.
Mayors menu filled
up: 1 day, 24 restaurants
JENKINTOWN, Pa. The mayor of a
small town in the Philadelphia suburbs
can offer a guarantee to his constituents:
He wont be going to bed hungry.
Jenkintown Mayor Ed Foley, in a
gut-busting campaign to draw atten-
tion to the tiny boroughs varied
restaurant scene, set out to visit all 24
of them on Saturday, starting with a
pre-dawn visit to IHOP.
With one pancake, Foley said in
late afternoon. And IHOP does not
want to sell you one pancake.
The second-term Democrat said hes
had to battle mom guilt from restau-
rant staff as he has eaten his way
across Jenkintown, a town so small
that he only needed to build in 15 min-
utes to walk from place to place.
I really am having fun with it, he
said shortly before his 16th stop of
the day. You feed on the energy of all
these people who are excited to have
you in their restaurant.
He said several restaurants have
opened in Jenkintown in recent years -
and more are poised to join them in the
coming months - but he was surprised
to count them and see 24 restaurants
now populate a town of less than a sin-
gle square mile. About 20 years ago,
he said, Jenkintown had only one
place to eat.
At some stops he was able to limit
his intake: an egg and a piece of bacon
at Joey Tates, a single cupcake at
Velvet Sky.
But when he hit La Pergola, his
request for one latke produced three -
along with a bowl of matzo ball soup.
And at Taste the Difference, a soul
food takeout and catering place, they
responded to his humble order of rice
and beans with two ribs, collard
greens and macaroni and cheese.
I ate it all, said Foley, whose day
job is in marketing for a Philadelphia
insurance company.

T
he process of getting drinking water
in San Francisco in the mid-1850s
was simple nd a spring or a pond
and use the water. It was drinkable in the early
days.
After the Gold Rush population increase
from a few hundred people to more than
50,000 residents, the available spring and
lake water became very contaminated and
unt to drink.
Water imported from Marin County sold for
$1 per gallon. In the early 1850s, six disas-
trous res destroyed the city due mainly to
inadequate water. In 1851, the Mountain
Lake Water Company was granted a franchise
to deliver water from Mountain Lake (in the
Presidio) to downtown San Francisco but it
was inadequate water ow for the res that
devastated the city. In 1857, the San
Francisco City Water Company started deliv-
ering water from Lobos Creek in San
Francisco. In 1857, the Spring Valley Water
Works was franchised by state legislation.
The SVWW did not have to furnish free
water to the city because it could deliver only
5,000 gallons of water a day and that was
inadequate to supply the city. This loophole
in the franchise was to become a gold mine to
the SVWW as the city now had to pay this
private company for water. Due to the great
demand for water, SVWW decided to expand
water collection into the newly formed San
Mateo County. By 1860, the San Francisco
population reached 78,000 but San
Francisco still had not constructed a munici-
pal water system.
In 1860, the SVWWtook over the Islas and
Salinas Water Company that had collected
water from Mount Hamilton area. In 1861,
the SVWW began construction of the
Pilarcitos Dam, west of Skyline Boulevard
(in the San Francisco watershed) and
increased its water delivery system greatly.
The SVWWnow rivaled the delivery of water
of the San Francisco City Water Works and,
in 1865, SVWW bought its competitor.
SVWWwas now the largest supplier of water
to San Francisco. In 1868, SVWW bought
the San Andreas Valley and constructed the
San Andreas Dam that could store 6.19 bil-
lion gallons of water. By 1868, SVWWhad
the water rights to Lake Merced. In 1870, the
SVWWwas paying a 59 percent return of div-
idends to stockholders in the company. In
1875, the dividends amounted to a 61 percent
return. The monopoly of the SVWW was so
strong that San Francisco was paying 25 per-
cent of its annual income for water. The city
of San Francisco had tried to in 1873 to buy
the SVWWbut the voters failed to pass bonds
to fund a purchase.
San Francisco began to realize that it must
develop its own water system and began the
process of buying land and water rights on
the east side of the Bay on the Calaveras
Creek (Alameda County/Santa Clara). After
much foot dragging by San Francisco,
SVWWbought the land and water rights and
created another source of water for delivery to
the Peninsula. In 1875, San Francisco
offered to buy out SVWW but the price was
deemed too high. In 1876, Upper Crystal
Springs Dam was built followed by Crystal
Springs Dam on the San Mateo Creek. San
Francisco began looking for other sources of
water and in 1891 surveys are made of the
Tuolumne River and Hetch Hetchy as a poten-
tial water source. In 1900, the city of San
Francisco was authorized to begin a munici-
pal water system and $45 million in bonds
was to be used to construct dams and acquire
water from the Yosemite Park/Hetch Hetchy
area using the Tuolumne River as the main
source. In 1912, M. M. OShaughnessy was
hired by Mayor James Rolph to be the city
engineer.
The land which became so important to the
Peninsulas water supply was originally part
of the Sanchez inheritance. The Rancho Buri
Buris southwest boundary point was a rock
long buried by the reservoir waters of the San

Thank you thank
you thank you.
This is what I hear
over and over, year
after year, from
families that we
serve. Either
verbally or in hand-written cards or letters
families say thank you: Thank for your
help; Thank you for all you have done to
make this process easier; Thank you for
making this final tribute to my mother one
which will be fondly remembered; Thank
you for your advice; Thank you for being
there for us at a time we needed you most;
Thank you for making it all easy for us;
Thank you for being a friend, etc. To hear
Thank you time and time again is a
confirmation for me that our Chapel of the
Highlands crew is doing their best to serve
families whove been through a death, in an
appropriate and professional manner, and
that we are doing the right thing in caring
for families during a difficult situation, in
turn making it more of a comfort for them.
Normally saying Youre welcome is
the correct response. Youre welcome, or
You are welcome, can be taken a number
of different ways. Generally it means you
are always a welcome guest. It can also be
taken as a blessing meaning you wish
wellness on the person who thanked you.
Wishing wellness or health to anyone is a
nice gesture. In recent years though we all
have witnessed the term Youre welcome
being substituted with Thank you back at
the person who is doing the thanking. This
is OK, but saying Youre welcome first
is taken as a hospitable and warm gesture.
Now that Thank you and Youre
welcome have been established, I would
like to say thank you back to the families we
serve: Thank you for supporting the Chapel
of the Highlands. Thank you for your
faithful patronage. Because of you we have
been able to continue with our high
standards and excellent level of service for
many years, since 1952. Thank you to those
families who weve helped so many times in
the past. Thank you to the new families
whove discovered that we offer them
respect and provide the dignified care that
their loved one deserves.
Your support, and the continued interest
from the community in our service, is what
keeps us going strong and available when
we are needed. Our costs have always been
considered fair, and the funds taken in for
our services are also very much appreciated.
Those Chapel of the Highlands funds along
with our support sifts back to the community
in different ways. Donations to local causes,
along with the donation of time through
membership in service organizations such as
Lions, I.C.F., Historical Society, Chamber
of Commerce, etc. is natural for us. Giving
back as a volunteer via these groups helps in
binding us with our neighbors, together
creating a better community for the future.
All in all there are many ways to say
Thank you. Doing so in a variety of ways
can create a circle of gratitude, in turn
making our community a better place.
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

Avenue train station, the city wants changes
made to the final Environmental Impact
Report.
The DEIR estimates the project could
remove up to 85 trees and prune another 154
in Burlingame. Mayor Michael Brownrigg
said he was relieved to see none of the euca-
lyptus trees from the citys beloved grove
will be removed and only a few will be mod-
erately pruned. However, he still needs to
see a nal report, Brownrigg said.
The Jules Francard Tree Grove of eucalyp-
tus are as old as our train station, which
itself is on a historic register, the grove is
on a historic register. We are one of the old-
est and longest continuing tree cities in the
country, Brownrigg said. We take our
treescape extremely seriously and then
especially these mature trees, these majestic
trees that give Burlingame its character [are]
very important.
Although the grove seems largely out of
harms way, the council wants the nal EIR
to specifically list which trees may be
affected before the city gets on board, said
Councilman Jerry Deal, who also serves as
the vice chair of the Peninsula Corridor
Joint Powers Board. Another concern is the
loss of trees will also affect neighborhood
aesthetics and decrease noise reduction for
surrounding residences, Deal said.
The city has long been against the high-
speed rail using an above-grade bypass for
the high-speed rail and wants to ensure the
electrification EIR will not provide any
clearance for the construction of the contro-
versial project, according to the letter.
Electrication is paving the way for high-
speed rail and although Caltrain ofcials
have assured this DEIR doesnt provide
clearance for the new rail, its important for
the city to reafrm their concerns, Deal
said.
The intent of the letter is [for] high-
speed rail and Caltrain to understand our
concerns as a city and grade separation is
one of our concerns and its an issue thats
not going to be addressed for quite a while,
Deal said. But you always want to reafrm
your concerns so they dont get lost.
The DEIR describes increased gate down-
time because there will be more trains run-
ning each hour, however they will be able to
run faster and go through the gate quicker,
Deal said.
Another major concern with the increased
number of trains on the track is noise
impact, Deal said.
Wed like to see quiet zones as a way of
addressing the gate at the crossings so that
the train doesnt have to sound their horn.
Thats one of the biggest problems were
having in Burlingame because we have
seven crossings so they pretty much lay on
the horn from one side of Burlingame to the
other, Deal said.
Overall, Deal said electrication is a good
thing and as the DEIR is still in an early
stage, specifics will be narrowed further
down the line.
Im denitely an advocate for electrica-
tion of the system because the benets its
going to bring to the Peninsula. An electri-
ed Caltrain is going to be a much much bet-
ter system than what we have now. We can
get rid of the diesel the [new trains]
theyre faster, theyre cleaner, Deal said.
Right now [the DEIR] is just a draft and its
a worst-case scenario. So were hoping for a
best-case scenario.

trication visit www.caltrain.com/project-

CALTRAIN
By Paul Elias
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO The FBI used mil-
lions of dollars, liquor and cigarettes seized
in other cases and more than a dozen under-
cover operatives in an elaborate, seven-year
sting operation targeting a San Francisco
Chinatown association thought to be a
front for a notorious organized crime syndi-
cate.
The agents, posing as honest business-
men and a Maa gure, spent freely and
aggressively offered their targets criminal
schemes, leading to the indictment of 29
people including state Sen. Leland Yee
on charges that included money launder-
ing, public corruption and gun trafcking.
The agents behavior has already become
a central issue in the month-old case, with
defense lawyers arguing that the FBI
entrapped otherwise honest people by lur-
ing them into criminal schemes hatched by
the government.
Its an argument numerous suspected ter-
rorists, politicians and others have made
when caught in a government sting.
But legal experts say the entrapment
defense rarely works. Sting targets have
to prove much more than simply the gov-
ernment made them do it. They have to
show they werent predisposed to commit-
ting the criminal acts proposed by under-
cover agents.
Several high-prole terrorism suspects in
recent months have argued they were set up
by undercover agents who played central
roles in helping them plan U.S. attacks
that they otherwise would never have
intended to carry out.
In January 2013, jurors in Portland, Ore.,
rejected Mohamed Mohamuds claims that
the FBI was at fault for him trying to set off
a bomb at Pioneer Courthouse Square during
a 2010 Christmas tree lighting ceremony
attended by thousands of people. The
bomb, supplied by the agents, was a fake.
In December, a federal appeals court
rejected Mohanad Shareef Hammadis
claims that he was entrapped when he
unwittingly worked with an government
informant to ship thousands of dollars in
cash, machine guns, rifles, grenades and
shoulder-fired missiles from Kentucky to
al-Qaida in Iraq from 2010 through 2011 .
No money or weapons ever left the
United States.
Entrapment is often raised but seldom
successful, said Notre Dame University
law school professor Jimmy Gurule, a for-
mer federal prosecutor and high-ranking
U.S. Department of Justice ofcial under
President George H.W. Bush.
Undercover government agents are given
wide latitude in setting up their targets, and
U.S. Supreme Court rulings and Department
of Justice guidelines make it clear they
view sting operations as necessary and
desirable to ght serious crime.
Entrapment claims work in court only in
extreme cases of outrageous government
conduct, Gurule said.
In the San Francisco case, Gurule said fed-
eral prosecutors have to prove only that Yee
and other targets of government stings
were predisposed to commit the crime.
When the FBI targets politicians, Gurule
said the investigators usually need valid
reasons to approach them with bribe offers,
such as evidence or reports of previous
solicitations. Agents, he said, look for a
pattern of behavior.
The FBI is not going to approach every
politician with a bag full of money,
Gurule said.
Yee was arrested March 26, the same day
FBI agents arrested Charlotte, N.C., Mayor
Patrick Cannon, who is also accused of
taking bribes from undercover agents pos-
ing as business people seeking political
favors or influence.
S.F. probe leading to
entrapment claims

STATE
By Fenit Nirappil
SACRAMENTO Lawmakers
return from their spring recess this
week focusing on hundreds of bills
that have to pass from one house
to the other by the end of May, but
the most contentious issues will
come later.
Among the bills under consider-
ation are several that try to protect
health or the environment by ban-
ning cigarette sales online,
microbeads in cosmetics, misla-
beled seafood and unprotected sex
in adult lms.
Bills shaping up as potentially
divisive include SB1000 by Sen.
Bill Monning, D-Carmel, which
would require warning labels on
sodas and other sugary drinks, and
SB1132 by Democratic Sens.
Holly Mitchell of Los Angeles and
Mark Leno of San Francisco,
which would place a moratorium
on fracking for oil and natural gas.
Some already
have been
s h e l v e d ,
including the
state Senate
leaders call for
a carbon tax on
consumer fuels
and a Leno pro-
posal to accel-
erate minimum
wage increases
to $11 an hour in 2015 from the
$9 an hour level taking effect in
July. Democrats want two-thirds
majorities in both houses of the
Legislature but face the prospect
of lower voter turnout within their
party this year. Proposals to raise
taxes or increase costs to busi-
nesses would give fodder to
Republicans in an election year.
Against that backdrop,
Democratic Sen. Ed Hernandez of
West Covina pulled a proposed
constitutional amendment that
would have reintroduced afrma-
tive action into the college admis-
sions process. The amendment
passed the Senate but was pulled
from consideration after a furious
backlash by Asian-Americans and
a reversal of support from some
Asian lawmakers. Even though it
is no longer on the table for this
year, Republicans are using SCA5
to try to win favor in the Asian
community.
One bill that remains alive and is
certain to draw partisan opposition
is AB1552 by Assemblywoman
Lorena Gonzalez, D-San Diego,
which would require employers to
offer up to three
days of paid sick
leave to their
workers. It is
among the top
job killer bills
identied by the
C a l i f o r n i a
Chamber of
Commerce, an
o r g a n i z a t i o n
that has inu-
ence with both political parties.
But Gonzalez says her bill is
about providing bare minimum
labor protections, which are mod-
est compared to previous propos-
als that would have allowed up to a
week of leave. And she said elec-
tion-year considerations to poli-
cy-making are no reason to aban-
don an issue that she says has
broad public support.
If anything, this a good elec-
tion-year issue, to be quite honest,
because it is so popular among the
Democratic base and the people
who dont normally turn out in
elections, Gonzalez said in an
interview.
Other high-profile bills have
bipartisan support, including sev-
eral that are meant to close cam-
paign nance reporting loopholes
and strengthen political ethics.
They were introduced after three
Democratic senators caught up in
separate criminal cases were sus-
pended and a lobbyist was hit with
a record ne.
In addition to the routine bills
they will consider, lawmakers also
will meet in a special session
called by Gov. Jerry Brown to
debate changes to a rainy day fund
ballot measure already on the
November ballot. Brown wants to
change the measure by having the
reserve fund capture excess capital
gains revenue in good budget
years and dedicate that money to
K-12 schools and to paying down
the states debts and unfunded lia-
bilities.
Lawmakers face hundreds of bills, special session
Jerry Brown Mark Leno Holly Mitchell Lorena Gonzalez
By Don Thompson
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry
Brown has been quietly visiting
California counties since the start
of the year to see how they are far-
ing under his 3-year-old realign-
ment law that dramatically altered
the states criminal justice system
by increasing the burden on local
governments.
He gave his verdict recently to a
gathering of the states major law
enforcement organizations: I can
report ... that realignment is
working.
Interviews with some of the
local ofcials the governor has
met with reveal a more nuanced
picture.
Sheriffs, county supervisors and
police chiefs told The Associated
Press that they had pressed the
governor for more money as they
deal with a crush of additional
inmates. They say the money is
needed for new jail cells, inmate
mental health counseling, and
education and rehabilitation pro-
grams, among other issues.
After meeting with Monterey
County Sheriff Scott Miller in
January, Brown said he would look
through the Capitol cookie jar
to see if he could nd more money
for counties.
Im still waiting to see what he
found in his cookie jars, Miller
told the AP. I havent heard any-
thing back yet.
Reporters have not had direct
access to the meetings between
Brown and local ofcials, which
in at least one case involved the
governor talking directly to jail
inmates. Most of Browns visits
with county officials have not
been advised in advance and do not
show up on his ofcial calendar. A
spokesman said the governors
ofce released photos on Twitter
after each meeting.
The realignment law is a den-
ing issue for the Democratic gov-
ernor and marks one of the most
significant policy achievements
of his current term. Brown pushed
for the law to help the state com-
ply with federal court demands to
reduce its inmate population and
to reduce the amount of money the
state was spending on prisons.
Under the law, convicts who would
previously go to state prisons are
being kept in county jails.
Yet it also has led to criticism
from crime victim advocates,
Republican lawmakers and even
some county ofcials that it is cre-
ating the same kind of overcrowded
conditions in county jails that gave
rise to the federal court intervention
in the state prison system.
Overcrowding is forcing many
counties to release convicts after
serving only a fraction of their sen-
tences, sometimes without supervi-
sion. And the harder-core inmates
that counties are now housing have
led to an increase in violence in the
states largest jail systems.
The governor has visited 10 coun-
ties since mid-January, touring jails
and meeting with inmates as well as
with sheriffs, district attorneys,
judges, county supervisors, police
chiefs and probation ofcers to dis-
cuss the realignment law, which
took effect in October 2011.
Counties tell Brown they need money for his criminal justice law

BOSTON In many ways, it felt like any
other pre-marathon Sunday in Boston.
Families celebrated Easter, diners enjoyed
the spring weather at sidewalk cafes, and
runners easily identied by their trim
builds and colorful jackets picked up
last-minute supplies for what will be the
second-largest eld in the history of the
Boston Marathon.
But even as runners focused on the exhil-
aration of crossing the nish line, the fes-
tive atmosphere was inevitably tinged with
sorrow, as runners, family members and
spectators recalled the twin bombings at
last years race that killed three people and
injured 260.
Marathon runners were blessed at an emo-
tional church service that celebrated Easter
and remembered the victims, while height-
ened security measures, including bag
checks, were in place at marathon events.
Its different, coming back, said Gisele
Goldstein, 55, of Germantown, Tenn., who
planned to run her 12th Boston Marathon this
year. Its not just metheres a sadness.
At City Hall, a fast-moving line of sever-
al hundred runners and their families
stretched around the building, where race
organizers served a pre-race pasta dinner.
So many of us are running this year
because of that day, said Justin Jackson,
32, of Chicago.
Preparing for Mondays race has been
emotional, he said. While it had not initial-
ly occurred to him to be nervous about
another terrorist attack, a bomb scare on
Tuesday night regenerated the worry that
there might be crazy people out there.
There have been other tense moments
such as when an alarm went off on Friday,
during the Runners Expo at the Hynes
Convention Center. People were spooked,
Goldstein said, even though it turned out to
have been a test.
But runner Susan Campbell, 41, of
Waverley, Nova Scotia, said she felt com-
pletely safe returning to Boston this year.
What are the chances of it happening
again? said her husband, Andy Legere, 41,
who was planning to cheer her on near the
nish line, along with their two daughters.
I never had any doubts about coming
back, Campbell said. Still, she felt a
weight this year when she collected her bib
near the nish line. It was a little sad, walk-
ing up Boylston Street and remembering.
Ricardo Corral, 53, of New York, who
planned to race in the hand-cycle division
of the wheelchair race on Mondayhis
eighth marathonsaid he was reassured by
the heightened security.

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
SAN FRANCISCO Among the thou-
sands of people who gathered in San
Franciscos Golden Gate Park near the
Haight-Ashbury neighborhood for an unof-
cial celebration of all things marijuana
Sunday, at least eight were arrested for
felonies, a police spokeswoman said.
The informal gathering held annually on
April 20, brought pot smokers and weed
vendors together for the day in the area
known as Hippie Hill on the eastern end of
Golden Gate Park.
Shortly after 4:20 p.m., San Francisco
police Ofcer Danielle Newman said that the
crowds of marijuana smokers had just n-
ished their big smoke-off.
San Francisco police officers were
patrolling the Haight-Ashbury neighbor-
hood, Hippie Hill and Sharon Meadow areas
Sunday issuing hundreds of advisements to
citizens. Newman said ofcers issue advise-
ments when they see a violation and instead
of arresting or citing an individual, advise
the person to obey the law.
Ofcers issued advisements for people for
infractions such as carrying open contain-
ers of alcohol, Newman said.
Between eight and 10 people attending
the event were arrested and are facing felony
charges, however Newman did not disclose
the nature of the arrests.
At the Golden Gate Park celebration in
2013, police spokesman Officer Albie
Esparza said there were no reports of serious
crime. Police squads remained at the event
and in the surrounding neighborhoods
Sunday evening. Newman anticipated that
park visitors would remain in the Hippie
Hill area until the park closed at 10 p.m.
This year streets surrounding the Hippie
Hill and Haight Street areas were blocked off
to trafc, largely due to a bad trafc jam on
Stanyan Street in 2013. Trafc this year was
pushed into surrounding neighborhoods
such as Cole Valley and Lone Mountain.
Last year about 15,000 people attending
the event left behind a mess that cost more
than $10,000 to clean up, according to a
city parks ofcial.
San Francisco Recreation and Park
Department spearheaded the cleanup follow-
ing the event with the assistance of the
Department of Public Works, Newman said.
Those participating in the marijuana cele-
bration were asked to adhere to park rules
and remember to pack it in, pack it out.

VATICAN CITY Marking
Christianitys most hopeful day,
Pope Francis made an Easter
Sunday plea for peace and dialogue
in Ukraine and Syria, for an end to
terrorist attacks against Christians
in Nigeria and for more attention to
the hungry and neediest close to
home.
Well over 150,000 tourists
Romans and pilgrims, young and
old turned out for the Mass that
Francis celebrated at an altar set up
under a canopy on the steps of St.
Peters Basilica.Easter is the culmi-
nation of Holy Week and marks
Christian belief that Jesus rose
from the dead after his crucixion.
Francis noted that this year the
Catholic churchs celebration of
Easter coincided with that of
Orthodox churches, which have
many followers in Ukraine.
Francis prayed that God would
enlighten and inspire the ini-
tiatives that promote peace in
Ukraine, so that all those
involved, with the support of
the international community,
will make every effort to prevent
violence.
In eastern Ukraine, the holiday
was marred by a deadly shooting
Sunday fueled by tensions between
pro-Russian supporters in the east
and those loyal to an interim gov-
ernment in Kiev. The clash
appeared to defy an international
agreement reached last week in
hopes of ending months of unrest.
Francis also prayed that all sides
in Syria will be moved to boldly
negotiate the peace long awaited
and long overdue. Syria has been
wracked by a three-year civil war
that has cost 150,000 lives and
forced millions to ee the country.
Christians make up about 5 per-
cent of Syrias population. In com-
ments to mark Easter there, the
Greek Orthodox patriarch vowed
that Christians there will not sub-
mit to extremists who attack our
people and holy places.
Francis makes a pilgrimage to
Jordan, the Palestinian territories
and Israel next month,
so on Easter he prayed
that hopes sparked by
the resumption of
Mideast peace negotia-
tions will be sus-
tained.
Thousands of pil-
grims from around the
world flocked to the
celebrate Easter in the
Holy Land, where
Christian communi-
ties, as well as else-
where in the Middle
East, have been declin-
ing as the faithful ee
regional turmoil.
Francis also spoke of those suf-
fering in Africa from an epidemic
of deadly Ebola and urged a halt to
brutal terrorist attacks in parts of
Nigeria.
Nigerians marked Easter with
heightened security against a
spreading Islamic uprising,
mourning the deaths of 75 bomb
blast victims and fearful of the fate
of 85 abducted schoolgirls. The
homegrown terror network Boko
Haram has claimed responsibility
for last weeks rush-hour explo-
sion in the capital, Abuja, and
threatened more attacks.
In Venezuela, there have been
hopes Vatican mediation can help
end the countrys violent political
unrest, and Francis urged that
hearts be turned to reconciliation
and fraternal concord there.
But Francis Easter message also
urged people to pay attention to
the needy close to home. He said
the good news of Easters joy
means leaving ourselves behind
and encountering others, being
close to those crushed by lifes
troubles, sharing with the needy,
standing at the side of the sick,
elderly and the outcast.
He denounced the scourge of
hunger, which he said was
aggravated by conicts and by
the immense wastefulness for
which we are often responsible.
Francis has set an austere tone in
his papacy, forsaking an ornate
apostolic palace apartment for a
simple guesthouse on the Vatican
grounds and rejecting limousines
for regular cars.

Letters to the editor
The modern library
L
ibraries are reinventing themselves so they dont
become obsolete. They are offering food, estab-
lishing teen centers, embracing new technology
such as e-books and opening up their walls to the out-
side. The changes have worked. Instead of losing
patrons, they are gaining them.
When you read about what libraries are doing in
Boston and Chicago, you have to feel pretty proud of
the San Mateo main library which has succeed in being
ahead of its time. It was built to be beautiful on the
inside and out. There are spectacular views of San
Mateo from the third floor and floor-to-ceiling win-
dows bring in light framed by the large redwood trees
outside. Theres a teen center and a special teen library
right next to a cafe. And recently, the library has gone
very high-tech.
***
There are classes to instruct community members on
how to download e-books
on their iPads and Kindles.
Theres a mobile app to
provide access to the cata-
log, databases and e-books
on your smartphone. New
technology includes wire-
less printing capacity.
San Mateo is not alone.
The Peninsula Library
System, which includes all
libraries in the county,
will soon be providing
high-speed Internet access
to all. San Mateo increased
its bandwidth to one giga-
bit per second. Soon each
PLS members will also
increase their bandwidth to
this level.
***
Despite the high-tech advances, San Mateos libraries
are still about books and people. Since 2006, when the
main library was built and two branches renovated, the
number of visitors has surpassed 5 million. The number
of books in the main library alone is 245,257. When the
City Council first authorized the building of a new site,
it envisioned the library as a community center. And if
you visit, you will find a composite of the local popula-
tion retirees looking for new offerings from the
Friends of the Library; students, old and young without
computers at home, using the library terminals; families
with young children taking out stacks of books from the
childrens library; newcomers taking advantage of the
librarys free resources to search for jobs; and San
Mateos diverse communities reading newspapers and
books in their native language. The council had hoped
one day the library could be open 24/7 but that still
remains a dream. Still, through financial support from
the library foundation, the main branch is open on
Sundays.
***
Public libraries from their inception have helped poor
kids climb the education ladder and have made a world of
adventure, travel, romance, mystery and history avail-
able to all. Just for the price of a free library card. As
Bill Moyers reports in an introduction to The Public
Library a free library became a mecca for poor kids
like me. ... There at the age of 11 or 12, I entered a
boundless world to discover more lives to lead than I
dreamed of. In books plucked from the shelves were sto-
ries that I have never forgotten: explorers whose adven-
tures I could envy, heroes whose exploits I could admire,
villains I could hiss. His first two library books were
Jules Vernes Around the World in 80 Days and a popu-
lar version of ancient Greek and Roman myths.
Patrons of the San Mateo main library were invited to
share what the facility meant to them. Their quotes are
posted in the lobby. Here are a few: child The library
changed my life by helping me to learn. Adult
Learning, exploring, to borrow up to 50 books, to meet
authors, to be in wonder every time I visit the library.
Its the best feeling in the world. Child The library
is my home away from home. I love to come here.
***
The San Mateo Library Foundations Gala event to
help raise funds to keep the library open on Sundays
throughout the year and extend other hours will be held
Saturday, May 10 at the College of San Mateo. The guest
author is A. Scott Berg who will answer questions about
his new book, Wilson, a stunning biography of the
man who was president of Princeton University and gov-
ernor of New Jersey before he entered the White House to
change the world. Perfect timing since this is the 100-
year anniversary of World War I, the war to end all wars,
which ironically led to World War II and other conflicts.

Supportive teachers impact
felt at Carlmont High School
Editor,
Thank you for choosing to write
about Mr. Raisner in Jon Mays
April 18 column Unsung hero. As
a parent of a graduate and soon- to-
be graduating senior from Carlmont
High School, I have seen firsthand
the impact that solid teachers with
supportive approaches have had at
our local public high school. Mr.
Raisner is just the latest example of
that commitment toward excellence
in learning. I am an avid reader of
the Scot Scoop News, which gets
pushed to my email daily. The
Carlmont student community con-
tinues to be fortunate to have this
breadth of programs, like the jour-
nalism program, available to them.
It is also fantastic that their efforts
have resulted in recognition at the
national level.
Thanks also goes out to Mays and
his fellow board members of the
San Francisco Peninsula Press Club
for your follow-through with the
district administration to help pro-
vide Mr. Raisner the opportunity to
guide these young investigative
journalists and reporters.

Gardening beautifully
during a drought
Editor,
Jon Mays April 11 Lawn be
gone column was a helpful and
amusing addition to the current dis-
cussion about saving water in this
drought. I applaud Mays concern
and hope he doesnt give up finding
a solution to his front-yard chal-
lenge.
I have a suggestion that may be
helpful for your readers: check out
the Bay Area Water Supply and
Conservation Agency website
(www.bawsca.org). You will find
free landscape education classes on
a variety of topics related to water-
efficient gardening, a Waterwise
Gardening tool full of information
on how to garden beautifully while
saving water and a significant Lawn
Be Gone rebate program for replac-
ing your lawn with water-efficient
landscaping.
As the new chief executive officer
of BAWSCA, my colleagues and I
are working hard to help you and all
other homeowners in San Mateo,
Santa Clara and Alameda counties
find a means of saving water and
maintaining an attractive property
with minimum cost and effort.
With this record drought year, it
is even more important that every-
one take action to reduce our water
use. Thanks for the column, which
should generate interest. Let us
know if we can help you.

Editor,
I have read with increasing dis-
comfort your coverage of a mental-
ly ill womans repeated arrests and
was wondering if I was in the
minority regarding the appropriate-
ness of your articles. So I did an
informal poll at work with a limited
sample size (five) and asked, If a
family member was repeatedly
arrested for behavior that could be
deemed crazy that in no way
harmed the public, would you want
their name and picture blazed across
the front page of local media? All
five said of course not. One said,
Why is that considered news?
Another said, What about respect-
ing their privacy? In your most
recent tabloid piece, SFO trespass-
er may receive mental help in the
April 18 edition, it was finally
admitted by that a psychological
examination and treatment are the
best course of action.
When asked if she had any emer-
gency or family contacts she
fortunately? replied with none.
I guess if that is true she has been
spared the ignominy. Finally, it
appears she will be getting what
she needs after being transferred to
the Pathways Program. I hope that
finally she will be left alone,
except by those who are providing
direct aid and you guys will give her
breaking news story a much
deserved rest. Or, Daily Journal
readers, do you crave more?

Poor post office management
Editor,
I, along with many of my fellow
Americans, waited until after 6 p.m.
on tax day to drop off my returns. I
drove to the post office at the San
Francisco International Airport.
It had set up very good traffic
management with cones, signs and
traffic staff. But they botched the
drop off. Asingle post office
employee standing next to a stack
of mail bins on the passenger side
of the car directed me to parking. I
walked to the post office and was
told to give it to the same guy who
had waved me on to the parking lot.
If this had been FedEx or UPS they
would have lighted signs saying
where to hand the in letters and
people on both sides of the car to
collect the letters so traffic could
flow at a steady 5 mph.
How many future customers did
you lose with this lack of plan-
ning?

Response to Oberg
Editor,
In response to Michael Obergs
letter, Jack Hickey needs to make
the first move (in the April 16 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal), I offer
the following:
Sequoia Hospital District (SHD)
was established pursuant to the
Hospital District Law, Chapter 932,
June 18, 1945. The District
Organization Act, approved June
12, 1933, provided a procedure for
the organization, operation, gov-
ernment, consolidation and dissolu-
tion of such districts.
Dissolution via this legislation
requires a 2/3 vote. Given the dis-
tricts benefactor-building PR and
grant-making activities over the
years, such a vote is highly unlike-
l y. LAFCo (Local Agency
Formation Commission) is the
agency which oversees government
agency organizational changes.
Regarding SHD, LAFCo gave it a
transitional sphere of influence
with the potential for expansion to
include excluded areas, dissolution
and consolidation. Adissolution
measure placed on the ballot by
LAFCo requires a simple majority
vot e.
Acall for dissolution can be pre-
sented to LAFCo by any agencies
(school districts, cities, etc.) with
overlapping boundaries. The
District itself can initiate the pro-
ceedings. That can happen if I am
successful in electing a slate of
three dissolution candidates (includ-
ing myself) in November.

DENVER The U.S. energy boom is blur-
ring the traditional political battle lines
across the country.
Democrats are split between environmen-
talists and business and labor groups, with
the proposed Canada-to-Texas oil pipeline a
major wedge.
Some deeply conservative areas are ally-
ing with conservationists against fracking,
the drilling technique thats largely respon-
sible for the boom.
The divide is most visible among
Democrats in the nations capital, where 11
Democratic senators wrote President Barack
Obama this month urging him to approve
the Keystone XL pipeline, which is opposed
by many environmental groups and billion-
aire activist Tom Steyer. The State
Department said Friday that it was extending
indenitely the amount of time that federal
agencies have to review the project, likely
delaying a pipeline decision until after the
November elections.
Several senators from energy-producing
such as Louisiana and Alaska have distanced
themselves from the Obama administration,
while environmental groups complain the
president has been too permissive of frack-
ing.
There is even more confusion among
Democrats in the states as drilling rigs mul-
tiply and approach schools and parks.
California Gov. Jerry Brown was shouted
down at a recent state convention by party
activists angry about his support for frack-
ing. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has kept
fracking in his state in limbo for three years
while his administration studies health and
safety issues. In Colorado, Gov. John
Hickenlooper has drawn environmentalists
ire for defending the energy industry, and a
ballot battle to regulate fracking is putting
U.S. Sen. Mark Udall in a tough situation.
But the issue cuts across party lines.
Even in deeply Republican Texas, some
communities have restricted fracking. In
December, Dallas voted to effectively ban
fracking within city limits.
Youre looking at a similar boom as we
had in tech in 1996, said Joe Brettell, a
GOP strategist in Washington who works
with energy companies. The technology
has caught up with the aspirations, and
that changes the political dynamics funda-
mentally.
Those technological advances have made
it possible for energy companies to tap deep
and once-untouchable deposits of natural gas
and oil. They include refinements in
hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, which is
the injection of chemicals into the ground to
coax buried fossil fuels to the surface.
The U.S. is now the worlds largest natural
gas producer and is expected to surpass Saudi
Arabia soon as the worlds greatest oil pro-
ducer, becoming a net exporter of energy by
2025.
The boom has brought drilling rigs into
long-settled neighborhoods, raising fears of
water contamination, unsafe trafc and air
pollution, and outraging residents.
Pollster Steven Greenberg said Cuomo
provides little notice before his public
appearances because anti-fracking protesters
will crash his events. Republicans blame the
governor for stymieing growth. New York
voters split evenly on fracking, with
Democrats only modestly more likely to
oppose it than Republicans.
No matter what he decides, hes going to
have half the people upset with him,
Greenberg said. From a purely political
point of view, its hard to argue with his
strategy punt.
In California, Brown has a long record of
backing environmental causes, but hes
drawn the wrath of some environmentalists
for supporting fracking. One group cited the
$2 million that oil and gas companies have
given the governors causes and campaigns
since 2006. Democrats in the Legislature
have proposed a freeze on fracking but are
not optimistic Brown will support it.
The Democratic split is sharpest in
Colorado.
Hickenlooper, a former oil geologist, has
been a staunch supporter of fracking; at one
point he said he drank fracking uid, albeit a
version without most of the hazardous chem-
icals. His administration has fought subur-
ban cities that have banned fracking, insist-
ing that only the state can regulate energy
exploration.

Business on the move
SANTA PAULA What was sup-
posed to be a cheap bite at Del Taco
turned out to be small fortune for some
Southern California customers.
About 150 people who ordered this
week at the Mexican-style fast food
chain in Santa Paula, 65 miles north-
west of Los Angeles, were mistakenly
charged thousands of dollars for burri-
tos, tacos and soft drinks.
Customer Michael Cole said he was
surprised when he was charged $4,050
for one CrunchTada Pizza and two beef
tacos. He discovered the error Friday
when he tried to withdraw $20 from an
ATM and was denied.
I dont even think Ive spent that
much in the last ve years, Cole said.
The cause of the technical error was
unknown, but it affected ATM and cred-
it-card transactions at one Del Taco
restaurant.
The processor is aware of the situa-
tion and has contacted banks
involved, Del Taco spokesman Brian
Devenny told the Ventura County Star.
They are working together to get
these charges reversed as quickly as
possible.
Devenny said all charges will be
refunded.
Another customer, Dino DeLaO, said
his wife paid $10.20 for a meal and
ended up being charged $10,200.
DeLaO said the mistake caused his
mortgage check to bounce, and he was
afraid it would affect other bills.
Austin Dillon said it wasnt hard to
erase the charge. He bought $4.26
worth of food earlier this week that
turned out to be $4,260.
Its kind of obvious because it was
Del Taco, he said.
As for Cole, who was billed $4,050,
he still thinks highly of the food and
service at his local Del Taco.
Its not going to deter me from
coming back, he said. Ill probably
use cash from now on.

WASHINGTON Political and mili-
tary elites are seizing protected areas
in one of Africas last bastions for ele-
phants, putting broad swaths of
Zimbabwe at risk of becoming fronts
for ivory poaching, according to a
nonprot research groups report that
examines government collusion in
wildlife trafcking.
Zimbabwe has maintained robust
elephant populations compared with
other countries on the continent. But
economic penalties imposed by the
United States and Europe have led
Zimbabweans with ties to President
Robert Mugabes ruling party to nd
new methods of making money. The
report, set for release Monday, says
they may be turning to elephants
highly valued ivory tusks.
Zimbabwes embassy in Washington
did not respond to a request for com-
ment.
Born Free USA, an animal advocacy
group, commissioned the report from
Washington-based C4ADS to better
understand the role organized crime
and corrupt government ofcials play
in ivory trafcking across Africa, said
Adam Roberts, Born Free USAs chief
executive ofcer.
Wildlife trafcking long has been
viewed as a conservation issue, but it
has exploded into an illicit global
economy monopolized by maa-like
syndicates and enabled by high-level
bureaucrats and powerful business
interests. The report describes a toxic
combination of conflict, crime and
failures of governance throughout
Africa that threatens to wipe out the
continents dwindling elephant herds.
China, the worlds largest market for
ivory, is compounding the threat, the
report said. Chinese companies have
won lucrative contracts in Zimbabwe
for mining and construction projects
near remote elephant habitats, bring-
ing waves of workers and new roads
that can be exploited by East Asian
crime organizations, the report said.
North of Zimbabwe, in central
Africa, an estimated 23,000 ele-
phants, or roughly 60 each day, were
killed last year. A pound of elephant
tusk sells for about $1,500 on the
black market. Thats more than double
the price just ve years ago. Ivory is
used to make carved ornaments and
trinkets.
Rhinoceroses also are heavily
poached for their horns, which some
Asian cultures believe contain medici-
nal properties.
TRAFFIC, a global wildlife trade
monitoring network, says there are
between 47,000 and 93,000 elephants
in Zimbabwe. The gap is due to the fact
that full-edged surveys of the animals
have not been carried out since 2007,
said Richard Thomas, the organiza-
tions spokesman.
Across Africa, there are close to
500,000 elephants, a fraction of the
nearly 10 million that roamed there
just 100 years ago.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
this month signaled its worries about
the future of Zimbabwes herds in a
decision blocking the importation of
African elephant trophies taken in
Zimbabwe during 2014. Noting the
cyanide poisoning of 300 elephants
last year in Zimbabwes Hwange
National Park, the agency said it has
signicant concerns about the long-
term survival of elephants in
Zimbabwe.
The ban also applies to Tanzania.

elephants, ivory poaching risks

SAN JOSE Fourth-liners Mike Brown
and Raf Torres scored second-period goals
to spark a San Jose comeback and lead the
Sharks to a 7-2 victory Sunday over the Los
Angeles Kings and a 2-0 lead in their rst-
round series.
Justin Braun, Patrick Marleau, Joe
Pavelski, Logan Couture and Joe Thornton
also scored for the Sharks, who overcame a
two-goal decit after the rst period of a
playoff game for just the third time in 26
tries in franchise history. Antti Niemi made
24 saves.
Jake Muzzin and Trevor Lewis scored rst-
period goals before Jonathan Quick allowed
seven goals in the nal two periods. Los
Angeles heads home for Game 3 on Tuesday
looking to get back into this series.
The Kings can take comfort in the fact
that the home team has won 18 of the previ-
ous 19 games between these teams, includ-
ing nine in the playoffs.
But Los Angeles will need to break that
spell to have a chance to win this series as
the Sharks have home-ice advantage a year
after losing Game 7 in the second round at
Los Angeles last year.
The Kings appeared poised to do just that
when they scored twice in the rst period
and appeared to be getting a bounce-back
performance from Quick, who was pulled
after allowing ve goals in two periods of a
6-3 loss in Game 1 on Thursday.
Quick gave up just 10 goals in seven
games to the Sharks last postseason but sur-
passed that total in less than 4 1/2 periods
in the rematch.
The Sharks seized momentum from the
opening shift of the second period thanks
to some big hits and aggressive forecheck-
ing from Thornton and Brent Burns.
Coach Todd McLellan then juggled his
lines, moving Tomas Hertl to the top line
with Thornton and dropping Pavelski to
third-line center, giving the Sharks depth
the Kings couldnt match.
It was the often overlooked fourth-liners
Sharks in charge after thrashing of Kings

Encore 18s Amelia Tupou sets for middle blocker Sarah Savoca, left, at Power
League 3 in Daly City.Tupou recently committed to play at Cal Baptist.
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
There was perhaps no more excited a
player at Saturdays Power League than
Amelia Tupou.
The Carlmont senior took to the oor
Saturday at Daly Citys Serramonte Del Rey
as part of the one-day girls volleyball
Power League 3. Tupou plays for Encore
Navy 18-1, a Redwood City-based club
team, one of 12 teams on Saturdays bill.
While Encore didnt medal, or even fin-
ish in the top five for that matter, Tupou
was upbeat because the All-Peninsula
Athletic League Bay Division setter
recently committed to Cal Baptist on a
volleyball scholarship.
It means so much, Tupou said. It makes
all the years that Ive put in and all the
coaching Ive had, it makes it all worth it.
In terms of the volleyball timeline, Tupou
rhymes with you go is a late sign.
And with Thursdays verbal commitment
came a massive sigh of relief, after she recent-
ly began considering other college options
while wondering if she wouldnt fulll her
dream of playing at the next level.
The club volleyball scene is revered as
something of a fast track to collegiate
scouting. Many players commit as high
school juniors, such as Menlo Schools big
three Melissa Cairo, Morgan Dressel and
Maddie Huber; all are seniors and will be
playing in the Ivy League this fall.
Currently at the midway point of the club
season, many high school juniors are
geared up for the spotlight that comes with
excelling on the club circuit. Vision 18
Gold, based out of Los Gatos and one of the
premier club teams in the nation, has
already qualied for Junior Nationals which
begin July 29 in Minneapolis.
But many teams, including Encore, are
still trying to punch a ticket to the World
Series of junior club volleyball. And like

SAN DIEGO The San Francisco Giants are totally in
favor of instant replay.
As soon as Xavier Nady was called safe after sliding into
home plate to apparently pull the San Diego Padres to 4-3 on
Chase Headleys bases-loaded double in the third inning
Sunday, Giants manager Bruce Bochy popped out of the
dugout to challenge. After 88 seconds, the umpires called
Nady out and a run came off the board. Replays showed Buster
Posey made a swipe tag on Nady before he touched the plate.
I like replay, and obviously it changed the game today,
Bochy said after the Padres held on for a 4-3 victory that
snapped a three-game losing streak. Thats a run on the
board. It helped us win the game by getting it right.
Tim Lincecum liked it, too, because it helped him get his
rst victory of 2014.
We could have a tie game right now, Lincecum said. Im
just glad we were able to get an out right there. That was
huge. That inning could still be going on right now. You
never know, Lincecum said.
Posey hit a two-run home run and the Giants had only
three hits. Padres pitchers retired 23 of the nal 24 batters
and the Giants didnt get a hit after the second inning.
The Giants had scored only one run in each of their previ-
ous three games.
Bochys challenge proved to be big because Nick Hundley
homered off Lincecum on the rst pitch of the seventh. Had
Bochy not challenged, the game would have been tied.
I knew I was going to challenge it because I thought he
tagged him, Bochy said. Buster said he tagged him. Where
he was, he had to be out. He was in front of the plate, so if
we tagged him, I knew he couldnt have gotten to the plate.
Posey said he knew he tagged Nady.
Thats tough at full speed, though, Posey said as he
watched a replay in the clubhouse after the game.
Bochy, a former catcher, agreed.
Giants avoid sweep

Club teams swing through Daly City in warm-up for Junior Nationals
who got the comeback started.
Known for their ability to deliver
hard hits and get into ghts, the
line of Andrew Desjardins, Torres
and Brown has set the tone for the
Sharks this series.
Brown pushed Slava Voynov
into Quick early in Game 1 and
Torres added a goal in that contest.
They came through even more in
Game 2 with Brown scoring his
rst career playoff goal on a quick
shot from the slot after a turnover
by Kyle Clifford to get the Sharks
on the board early in the second.
Midway through the period,
Desjardins dropped a perfect pass to
Torres, who beat Quick up high for the
equalizer. Torres missed the nal six
games of last years series for a hit to
the head of Jarret Stoll but has made
his impact felt so far in the rematch.
The Sharks took the lead late in
the period when Braun beat Quick
with a shot from the point through
a screen by Tommy Wingels.
Marleau, Pavelski and Couture
turned it into a blowout with goals
off odd-man rushes in the third
before Thornton scored a power-play
goal to match a San Jose playoff
record with seven goals in a game.
San Joses only other playoff
comebacks from two
goals down after the
first period were on
April 23, 1994,
against Detroit, and
April 19, 2011 ,
against Los Angeles.
Boston 4, Detroit 1
Justin Florek and Reilly Smith
scored in a three-minute span in
the first period and the Boston
Bruins evened their playoff series
with a 4-1 win over the Detroit Red
Wings in the Game 2 on Sunday.
Showing more spark after not
taking enough challenging shots
on goal in their 1-0 loss Friday
night, the Bruins had 18 shots in
the rst period after managing just
25 in the entire opener.
Luke Glendening cut Bostons
lead to 2-1 at 13:20 of the second
period before Milan Lucic scored
late in the second and Zdeno Chara
added a power-play goal early in
the third.
Philadelphia 4, New York 2
Luke Schenn scored the go-ahead
goal in the second period, and
backup Ray Emery made 31 saves
for Philadelphia, which rallied to
beat New York to even the rst-
round playoff series.
Schenn put Philadelphia in front
after Game 1 goat Jason Akeson
tied it 2-2 earlier in the period.
That was enough for the Flyers to
snap a nine-game losing streak at
Madison Square Garden and send
the series to Philadelphia tied at 1.
Montreal 3, Tampa Bay 2
Tomas Plekanec scored at 5:43 of
the third period and Montreal moved
one win away from advancing to the
second round of the NHL playoffs
with a victory over Tampa Bay.
Montreal leads the best-of-seven
series 3-0 and can sweep the
Lightning with a win Tuesday
night at the Bell Centre.
Rene Bourque scored 11 seconds
into the game after a rousing
pregame show and Brendan
Gallagher also scored for Montreal.
Ondrej Palat and Matthew Carle
scored for Tampa Bay.
Tampa Bay got a scare at 16:09
of the second period when scoring
star Steven Stamkos fell and was
struck in the head by Alexei
Emelins knee, but he returned for
the third period.
And the Lightning were outraged
when the ofcials waived off an
apparent goal by Ryan Callahan at
the 15:38 mark of the second
because of Alex Killorns inciden-
tal contact with goalie Carey Price
By Michael Wagaman
OAKLAND On a day when his
fastball didnt have much bite and
his breaking pitches were flat,
Jesse Chavez nally got the victo-
ry that had eluded him through the
rst two weeks of the season.
The 30-year-old starter also
managed to carve a spot in the
Athletics history books along
the way.
Chavez combined with three
relievers on a ve-hitter, and Josh
Donaldson drove in three runs to
help Oakland beat the Houston
Astros 4-1 on Sunday to complete
a series sweep.
Today was one of those days
where I had to make pitches and
see pretty much what I was made of
as a starter, said Chavez after low-
ering his team-leading ERA t o
1.38. The only thing I had pretty
much working today was my
changeup. That was a good pitch
that I needed.
Chavez (1-0) allowed four hits
over six innings and retired seven
of the nal eight batters he faced
after giving up a solo home run to
Marwin Gonzalez in the fourth.
He struck out three, walked one
and became the first pitcher in
franchise history to be on the
opening- day roster and allow one
earned run or less in six innings
during each of his rst four starts.
Not bad for a guy who was on the
fringe of the As rotation until
injuries sidelined Jarrod Parker and
A.J. Grifn.
I think hell tell you he strug-
gled with his command moreso
today than any other day,
Oakland manager Bob Melvin
said. Thats really the mark of a
good pitcher, when you dont have
your best stuff. Hes been focused
and ready for that opportunity and
continues to run with it.
Josh Donaldson homered and
doubled twice while Jed Lowrie and
Eric Sogard added two hits apiece
for the As, who have won 11 of 13.
Oakland has the best record in
the American League despite a
shaky defense that committed its
AL-leading 19th error.
Gonzalez had two hits for the
Astros. Houston has dropped
seven straight.
We have an underperforming
team right now, and when you under-
perform and make the mistakes that
we make this is going to be the
result, manager Bo Porter said.
Donaldson hit a two-run homer
off Houston starter Brad Peacock
in the rst and added an RBI double
in the seventh. He also had a two-
out double in the fth.
That helped offset an early mis-
cue by Oaklands third baseman.
Donaldson bobbled George
Springers grounder in the third,
extending the teams worst defen-
sive stretch since 2011.
Lowrie, the shortstop, also
dropped a high popup by Springer
in the eighth, marking four
straight games in which the As
have committed at least two errors.
Overall, Oakland has made an error
in nine consecutive games.
I dont like it, Melvin said.
You cant continually play defense
like this and get away with it.
Three of Houstons rst four bat-
ters reached base before Oaklands
young right-hander settled down.
After catcher John Jaso threw out
Jose Altuve trying to steal third,
Chavez got Marc Krauss to y out.
The Astros also had two runners
on with two outs in the third fol-
lowing Donaldsons elding error
but Chavez retired Krauss on a
deep y to right.
Houston managed just one
baserunner against Chavez after
that, a one-out walk to Dexter
Fowler in the fth.
Jim Johnson, still trying to win
back the As closer spot, replaced
Chavez to start the seventh and
retired the rst two batters before
walking Altuve. After Fowler
reached when his sharp come-
backer deflected off Johnson,
reliever Sean Doolittle came in and
got Jason Castro to y out to left.
Luke Gregerson pitched the
ninth for his third save.
Donaldsons two-run home run
off Peacock (0-2) in the rst put
the As up 2-0. Lowrie singled with
one out before Donaldson hit the
3-1 pitch to left.
Gonzalez, who singled off Chavez
in the second, hit a two-out home
run in the fourth to cut it to 2-1.
Donaldson doubled in Coco Crisp
in the seventh and Lowrie scored on
a passed ball in the same inning.
Peacock struck out four and
walked three in his rst start of the
season. The former Oakland
prospect, who began the year in
Houstons bullpen, allowed five
hits over ve innings.

Rubin Hurricane Carter never surren-
dered hope of regaining his freedom, not
even after he was convicted of a triple
murder, then convicted again and aban-
doned by many prominent supporters.
For 19 long years, the prizefighter was
locked in a prison cell far away from the
spotlight and the adulation of the boxing
ring. But when he at last won his biggest
fight for exoneration he betrayed
little bitterness. Instead, Carter dedicated
much of his remaining life to helping
other prisoners and exposing other injus-
tices.
The middleweight title contender,
whose murder convictions became an
international symbol of racial injustice
and inspired a Bob Dylan song and a
Hollywood film, died Sunday. He was 76.
The New Jersey native, who had suffered
from prostate cancer, died in his sleep at his
home in Toronto, said John Artis, his for-
mer co-defendant and longtime friend and
caregiver.
Carter didnt have any bitterness or
anger he kind of got above it all. That
was his great strength, said Thom
Kidrin, who became friends with Carter
after visiting him several times in
pri son.
The boxer, a former petty criminal,
became an undersized 160-pound con-
tender and earned his nickname largely on
his ferocity and punching power.
Although never a world champion,
Carter went 27-12-1 with 19 knockouts,
memorably stopping two-division champ
Emile Griffith in the first round in 1963.
He also fought for a middleweight title in
1964, losing a unanimous decision to
Joey Giardello.
But his boxing career came to an abrupt
end when he was imprisoned for three
1966 murders committed at a tavern in
Paterson, N.J. He was convicted in 1967
and again in 1976 before being freed in
1985, when his convictions were thrown
out after years of appeals. He then became
a prominent public advocate for the
wrongfully convicted from his new home
in Canada.
His ordeal and its racial overtones were
publicized in Dylans 1975 song
Hurricane, several books and a 1999
film starring Denzel Washington, who
received an Academy Award nomination
for his portrayal.
In a statement issued Sunday,
Washington praised Carters tireless
fight to ensure justice for all.
Carter and Artis had been driving around
Carters hometown on the night that
three white people were shot by two
black men at the Lafayette Bar and Grill.
They were convicted by an all-white jury
largely on the testimony of two thieves
who later recanted their stories.
Carter was granted a new trial and
briefly freed in 1976, but he was sent
back for nine more years after being
convicted in a second trial.
I wouldnt give up, Carter said in an
interview in 2011 on PBS. No matter
that they sentenced me to three life terms
in prison. I wouldnt give up. Just
because a jury of 12 misinformed people
... found me guilty did not make me
guilty. And because I was not guilty, I
refused to act like a guilty person.
Dylan, a boxing aficionado, became
aware of Carters plight after reading the
fighters autobiography. He met Carter
and co-wrote Hurricane, which he per-
formed on his Rolling Thunder Revue
t our i n 1975. The song concludes:
Thats the story of the Hurricane/But it
wont be over till they clear his
name/And give him back the time hes
done/Put him in a prison cell but one
time he could-a been/The champion of
the world.
Muhammad Ali and Coretta Scott King
spoke out on Carters behalf. Other
celebrities also worked toward his
release, joined by a network of friends
and volunteers.
Carter eventually won his freedom from
U.S. District Judge H. Lee Sarokin, who
wrote that the boxers prosecution had
been predicated upon an appeal to racism
rather than reason, and concealment
rather than disclosure.
Born on May 6, 1937, into a family of
seven children, Carter struggled with a
hereditary speech impediment and was
sent to a juvenile reform center at 12 after
an assault. He escaped and joined the
Army in 1954 and learned to box while in
West Germany.
After returning home, he committed a
series of muggings and spent four years
in various state prisons. Upon his
release, he began his pro boxing career,
winning 20 of his first 24 fights mostly
by knockout.
At 5-foot-8, Carter was fairly short for
a middleweight, but he was aggressive
and threw waves of punches. His shaved
head and menacing glower gave him an
imposing ring presence but also con-
tributed to a forbidding aura outside the
ring. He was quoted as joking about
killing police officers in a 1964 story in
the Saturday Evening Post, which was
later cited by Carter as a cause of his trou-
bles with law enforcement.
Carter boxed regularly on television at
Madison Square Garden and overseas in
London, Paris and Johannesburg .
Although his career appeared to be on a
downswing before he was implicated in
the murders, the 29-year-old fighter was

Tupou last season, Encores Ali Vidali is count-
ing on the team fairing well to increase her
exposure to the collegiate scouting community.
Playing just over the hill from her home-
town of Pacica Saturday, Vidali is one of the
premier outside hitters in the PAL who domi-
nated throughout the 2013-14 high school
season as a junior at Terra Nova. Vidali earned
Ocean Division co-MVPhonors after leading
Terra Nova to its rst win in a Central Coast
Section match since 1983.
Yet Vidali is still without a serious college
offer. She has gauged interest from UC
Riverside and Hawaii Pacic, and has partial
scholarship offers from other schools. But
the 5-foot-11 outside hitter is seeking a full
ride. With Encore having yet to secure a bid
to Junior Nationals, how the team performs
in its nal qualier tourney can directly
impact Vidalis future in the sport.
This season is denitely important for a
junior, Vidali said. For anyone, its impor-
tant. I was hoping we would qualify for
Nationals, just because thats a lot of college
exposure. Right now we havent qualied.
Im hoping to at our next tournament.
Encore, a relatively new club started in 2011
by head coach Matt Krebs, is still gaining trac-
tion toward the national circuit. Krebs founded
the Monsoon Volleyball Club in Portola
Valley in 2002, and has since integrated it into
The Foundry in Redwood City, which serves as
the base of operations for Encore.
The facility is used to training athletes
from various sports, including football, bas-
ketball, tennis and lacrosse. Housing rows of
state-of-the-art volleyball courts and intend-
ed to be used as an Olympic training facility,
it is foremost a volleyball facility. Its hyper-
modern design has even gained it an interest-
ing distinction, according to Krebs.
A lot of people call it the Apple Store of
volleyball, Krebs said.
If The Foundry is the Apple Store of vol-
leyball, then the Vision club is the Chicago
Bulls of the sport more specically, the
Bulls dynasty of the 1990s.
Vision 18 Gold took second place Saturday
at Power League 3, falling 25-16 to underdog
Five Starz in the one-set nal. Vision has
already punched its ticket to Junior Nationals
though, qualifying via two bids with a silver
medal in the Denver qualier and a gold medal
in the Los Angeles qualier. Multiple bids are
important as they will favor Vision in the
seeding process in Minneapolis.
Vision was established in 1998 by club
director Joe Ripp and college recruiting coor-
dinator Dan Kaplan. Both are still very much
driving entities behind Visions success.
Throughout its seven age-based squads, the
club has earned many medals at Nationals
every year since 2007 and 11 of the past
13 years including a Vision 14 Gold silver
medal in 2013, and a pair of bronzes for 18
Gold and 15 Gold in 2012.
Its an amazing level of play, Kaplan
said. I do try to remind people that if you
just take a step back for a minute youre
watching the top one or two percent of vol-
leyball players in the nation.
Kaplans statement isnt conation. The
Vision 18 Gold squad has eight players cur-
rently committed to college, including Huber
(Menlo School) with a full scholarship to
Princeton and Christine Alftin (Woodside)
signed to a full ride to Cal.
Considering Kaplans background in ath-
letics, the success should come as no sur-
prise. Kaplan actually comes from the bas-
ketball ranks, having served as an assistant
coach at Mitty from 1989-95. During that
time, the buzz about Monarchs athletics
revolved around a prep standout and future
Olympic star, Keri Walsh. And everyone
knew the eventual three-time Olympic gold
medalist in beach volleyball had quite a
future ahead of her.
I will never forget how they were com-
menting when we would go to the gym that
we got to watch the Michael Jordan of vol-
leyball play every day, Kaplan said.
Shortly thereafter, Kaplan started an
online volleyball magazine back in the
days of internet startups called
VBall.com. After two years of generating an
audience among volleyball aficionados,
Kaplan sold the website and took his volley-
ball vision from the cyber world to the real
world by co-founding Vision.
Joining a volleyball club comes at quite an
expense though. According to Kaplan, an
individual player pays approximately $500-
600 a month in dues and must still pay her
own way for transportation and housing
while on the road. With Vision 18 Gold play-
ing three national qualier tournaments this
season, the cost ranges around $1000 per
player per trip.
Ill be the rst to say playing club ball is
not cheap, said Will Yuen, Vision 17 Gold
head coach. Its pretty pricey. So, you have
to be pretty nancially stable to be able to
play. And I know a lot of clubs offer scholar-
ships and things like that to kind of help
kids out.
The tradeoff comes with college recruit-
ment. As with club tournaments drawing tens
of dozens of top-notch teams, recruiters tend
to maximize their efforts at big-time events
during the club season.
High school has got nothing to do
with it, Kaplan said. It has some
supplement, but it has nothing to do
with recruitment.
As for Saturdays Power League,
there are no national implica-
tions for the regional event. In
fact, Power League 3 was specif-
ically an opportunity of some
17-year-old teams to gain
experience against 18-year-
old teams. Vision 17
Gold featuring Lida
Vandermeer (Menlo),
Elisa Merten (Menlo)
and Devin Joos (Menlo-
Atherton) competed
in the one-day tourney and defeated Encore
18 in the opening match, 26-24, 25-20.
And in the championship match, after the
11 teams that showed spent eight hours turn-
ing Serramonte Del Rey into a veritable real-
life pachinko machine, Five Starz 17-1 cap-
tured rst place with a victory over Vision 18
Gold. The 17-year-old team is actually the
top team of the Five Starz club out of Davis,
as it will not have an 18-year-old team until
next year.
Its nice, Five Starz head coach Debby
Colberg said. Power League doesnt mean a
whole lot in terms of when you want to go on
to play in Minneapolis and do well in the
Junior Nationals, but it just shows that you
can compete at a high level.
Five Starz has already qualied for Junior
Nationals for the 17-year-old tournament, hav-
ing earned a bid by winning the Colorado
Crossroads qualier in Denver earlier this year.
The team has twice previously medaled
at Nationals, with a third-place n-
ish at the 16-year-old level last
year and a second-place nish in
the 15-year-old national
tourney in 2012.
Delta Valley 18-1,
which was on the dock-
et for Power League
3, was a no-show
as it opted to play
at a national
qualier.

hoping for a second mid-
dleweight title shot.
Cart er defi ed hi s pri son
guards from the first day of his
incarceration and spent time in
solitary confinement because
of i t .
When I walked into prison, I
refused to wear their stripes,
Carter said. I refused to eat
their food. I refused to work
their jobs, and I would have
refused to breathe the prisons
air if I could have done so.
Carter eventually wrote and
spoke eloquently about his
plight, publishing his autobi-
ography, The Sixteenth
Round, in 1974. Benefit con-
certs were held for his legal
defense featuring Dylan, Joni
Mitchell and Roberta Flack.
Although many of his celebri-
ty friends abandoned the cause
after his second conviction and
an allegation of assault during
his brief release, other advo-
cates worked tirelessly on his
behalf, culminating in
Sarokins ruling and two subse-
quent failed prosecutorial
appeals to have the convictions
reinstated. Each year on the
anniversary Sarokins decision,
Carter called the judge to thank
hi m.
After his release, Carter
moved to Toronto, where he
served as the executive director
of the Association in Defence of
the Wrongly Convicted from
1993 to 2005. He received two
honorary doctorates for his
work.
Canadian director Norman
Jewison made Carters st ory
into a biographical film.
Washington worked closely
with Carter to capture the
boxers transformation and
redemption.
Hes all love, Washi ngt on
said while onstage with Carter at
the 2000 ceremony where he
won a Golden Globe. He lost
about 7,300 days of his life, and
hes love.
The makers of The
Hurricane, however, were wide-
ly criticized for factual inaccura-
cies and glossing over other
parts of Carters story, includ-
ing his criminal past and a repu-
tation for a violent temper.
Giardello sued the films produc-
ers for its depiction of a racist
fix in his victory over Carter,
who had long acknowledged that
Giardello deserved the win.
Artis said Carter will be cre-
mated and didnt want a funeral
or any memorial. Artis has been
taking care of him since 2011.
He was a champion of the
underdog, he said. He was like
the David against the Goliath of
the justice system.
Kidrin spoke with Carter on
Wednesday.
He said, You know, l ook,
deaths coming. Im ready for it.
But its really going to have to
take me because Im positive to
the end.
By Kevin Dunleavy
WASHINGTON Bernard Hopkins
made some more boxing history,
and did it in rather easy fashion.
Then, the 49-year-old boxer
showed his age, referencing a TV
character that might have gone over
the heads of many young fans.
I was so in my living room
watching Archie Bunker, Hopkins
said, playfully comparing himself to
the main character from the 1970s
series All in the Family.
I was so relaxed, so relaxed.
Already the oldest boxer in histo-
ry to hold a world championship,
Hopkins became the oldest to win a
unication bout Saturday night as he
captured a split 12-round decision
over Beibut Shumenov of
Kazakhstan.
Afterward, the Philadelphia
native sounded far from nished
or satised.
The pound-for-pound best ghter
in the world right now is Floyd
Money Mayweather, Hopkins
said. Ill tell you, behind Andre
Ward, who I believe is second and
should be, Im not that far from the
top three. My age and the way Im
doing it.
Im just telling you, Im not
done yet.
Hopkins was in complete control
Saturday and it was reected in the
statistics. Of the 608 punches
thrown by Shumenov, only 20 per-
cent landed. Of the 383 punches
Hopkins threw, he landed 49 percent.
I didnt do that when I was 30,
Hopkins joked. He was really sur-
prised the way I could stand there and
let him miss.
When the split decision was
announced the pro-Hopkins crowd
of 6,823 jeered its disapproval. Two
judges scored the ght 116-111 for
Hopkins. The other judge gave the
nod to Shumenov 114-113.
I shut him out, Hopkins said.
If there was any doubt about the
outcome, it was removed in the 11th
round when Hopkins rocked
Shumenov with a chopping overhand
right for the only knockdown of the
ght, igniting chants of B-Hop! B-
Hop! from the D.C. Armory crowd.
It was a reminder for Hopkins of
20 years ago, when he fought for the
rst time in Washington, losing a
decision to Roy Jones Jr. at RFK
Stadium, right across the street from
the venue where Saturdays ght
took place.
It motivates me every time I
come to D.C. The dressing rooms, it
took me back, said Hopkins, who
improved to 55-6-2.
After a slow start, in which he
fought defensively, Hopkins con-
trolled the action, growing con-
dent, aggressive and playful as the
ght progressed.
The fourth round saw Shumenov
moving forward, but Hopkins landed
the two best shots, both right-hand-
ed counterpunches, to secure the
edge. In the fth, Hopkins was
doing more than counterpunching. A
straight overhand right landed
squarely to the cheek of Shumenov.
By the sixth round, it was clear
that Hopkins condence was grow-
ing as he became the aggressor, ini-
tiating the action and landing a big
combination.
In the seventh round, Hopkins
was feeling so good that he alter-
nated leading with his right and
left hands, befuddling Shumenov,
who fell to 14-2.
Im kind of angry that I lost the
ght, Shumenov said. I am a true
warrior.
Hopkins wins split decision

Bernard Hopkins won by split
decision over Beibut Shumenov
in a title unication bout Saturday.
Its the toughest call to make in
baseball, the play at home plate.
Headleys double went into the
right eld corner, bringing in Venable
and Smith ahead of Nadys slide.
Lincecum (1-1) was chased by
Hundleys rst homer of the sea-
son. Lincecum allowed three runs
and seven hits, struck out seven
and walked three.
Sergio Romo pitched the
ninth for his fifth save in as
many chances.
Lincecum improved to 14-6 in
27 starts against San Diego, his
most against any opponent.
Lincecum threw his rst career no-
hitter at Petco Park on July 13.
It was the ninth time in 10
games the Giants were involved in
a one-run decision.
Unbelievable, man, Bochy
said. Ive been on a few runs
where you play tight games, but
never like this. A few more gray
hairs, but it goes with the territo-
ry. Its who we are.
Walks hurt Padres starter Robbie
Erlin (1-2).
Posey homered an estimated 427
feet to left-center on the rst pitch
he saw from Erlin in the rst, his
fourth. Hunter Pence was aboard
on a one-out walk.
Angel Pagan hit a two-run,
bases-loaded single with one out
in the second. Erlin had loaded the
bases by walking Brandon Hicks,
allowing a single by Brandon
Crawford and walking Lincecum.
Erlin allowed four runs and three
hits in six innings, walked three
and struck out three. After allow-
ing the two-run single by Pagan,
Erlin retired his nal 14 batters.

ccasionally, but not often, one of
our kids, ages 5 and a half and 3
and a half, wakes us up in the mid-
dle of the night. Now, we dont have a cat
our two kids plus one dog is enough
activity but I understand this can be a
common activity for them. And, unlike
our kids who just want to cuddle with
Mommy or Daddy (usually Mommy!), cats
think of the early-morning hours as party
time. And, they have such endearing
methods for waking their humans. They
might paw at their owners eyelids, sit on
their head or pounce on their midsection.
Unless you want to wear catchers gear to
bed, you have to deal with this. Its sim-
ply nature; cats have an internal clock that
is opposite of most people. The hours
right before dawn are when they get busy,
and, they attempt to make it play time for
us, too. Do you yell at them to leave you
alone or ing a pillow wildly in their gen-
eral direction? Probably didnt work, as
cats dont learn from punishment. You
likely wont have much success changing
your cats natural rhythm, either. But, you
do have options. For one, close your door!
Dont give your cat access to your room. If
you want to allow your cat to come and go
as she pleases, give her more exercise
each evening so she wont look to play
with you hours later. You can tempt her
into a 15-20 minute session with a cat
dancer or laser tag, or give her a ping
pong ball to bat around in an empty bath-
tub. And, since she may be waking you
early for her breakfast, try an automatic
feeder set to dispense her food at 5 a.m.,
just before the witching hour when she
ops on your head. Unless you bar her
entry into your room, theres no quick x;
were dealing with nature here.

LOS ANGELES Captain America con-
tinues to vanquish box ofce foes, triumph-
ing in ticket sales for the third consecutive
week and dominating over megastar Johnny
Depps new movie.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
added another $26 million to its coffers,
according to studio estimates Sunday, while
Depps sci-fi thriller, Transcendence,
opened in fourth place with $11 million.
Directed by longtime Christopher Nolan
cinematographer Wally Pster, the Warner
Bros. lm is Depps third consecutive box
ofce disappointment. He played Tonto in
last summers The Lone Ranger one of
the biggest ops of 2013 and starred in
2012s comedy-horror dud, Dark
Shadows.
As we approach the summer movie sea-
son, box-office drawing power becomes
more about the concept of the movie rather
than its star, said Paul Dergarabedian, sen-
ior media analyst for box-office tracker
Rentrak. It may not have been so much
(about) Johnny Depp, but audiences right
now like brands that they know.
That doesnt bode well for original ideas,
such as Transcendence, penned by rst-
time screenwriter Jack Paglen.
Dergarabedian notes that 12 sequels are
expected this summer alone.
Another new movie, the religious-themed
Heaven Is for Real, debuted in third place
over Easter weekend, while another sequel,
Rio 2, held on to the second spot.
Faith-based lms are performing well,
Dergarabedian said, with four releases in the
domestic top 20.
The Winter Soldier set a box-office
record as the biggest April release ever
when it opened with more than $96 million
domestically. Starring Chris Evans as
comic book hero Capt. America and Scarlett
Johansson as Black Widow, the Disney
release has earned more than $200 million
to date in North America the 12th Marvel
lm to do so.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through
Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters,
according to Rentrak. Where available, lat-
est international numbers are also included.
Final domestic gures will be released on
Monday:
1. Captain America: The Winter Soldier,
$26.6 million ($35.3 million internation-
al).
2. Rio 2, $22.5 million ($48 million
international).
3. Heaven is for Real, $21.5 million.
4. Transcendence, $11.2 million
($17.4 million international).
5. AHaunted House 2, $9.1 million.
6. Draft Day, $5.9 million.
7. Divergent, $5.75 million ($18.1
million international).
8. Oculus, $5.2 million.
9. Noah, $5 million ($21.6 million
international).
10. Gods Not Dead, $4.8 million.

Paid Advertisment
ment code. A judge ultimately ruled that
Raigoza does meet the mandate of senior s-
cal management experience and an appel-
late court refused Galligans request for recon-
sideration but those legal decrees only
paved the way for voters to now decide who is
the best person for the job.
The controller is the countys top scal
watchdog and the upcoming retirement of
Controller Bob Adler, appointed to nish the
unexpired term of his predecessor, leaves the
seat up for grabs. To hold the job, an individ-
ual must meet one of the four possible crite-
ria: Be a certied public accountant; or, pos-
sess a degree from an accredited four-year
institution with a major in accounting or its
equivalent and serve in a senior scal man-
agement position at a private rm, govern-
ment agency or nonprot for at least three
years straight within the last ve years; or, be
certied as a professional internal auditor
with a minimum of 16 semester units or
equivalent in accounting, auditing or nance;
or serve as the county auditor, chief deputy
county auditor or chief assistant county audi-
tor for at least three years continuously.
In individual sit-down interviews with the
Daily Journal, both Raigoza and Galligan
emphasized not only their qualications but
other attributes that each say are the reasons
voters should choose him on the June 3 ballot.
Raigoza, 47, has an accounting degree and
an MBA. He has been with the Controllers
Ofce for 13 years after two two-year turns at
Big Four accounting rms and was named
assistant controller in 2012 after Adler
moved up. He said hes experienced with all
facets of the ofce and is a pretty quick learn-
er particular useful for the constant
changes by the state. This is his rst bid for
public ofce.
Galligan, 58, spent eight years on the
Burlingame City Council which he said was a
strong training ground for combing through
budgets and learning where exactly the
money comes and goes. During his tenure, a
librarian embezzling approximately
$400,000 in nes was uncovered and
Galligan takes credit for seeking a library
audit based on an off-hand remark by an
employee about the huge spike in deposits
during the womans vacation.
He, along with two partners, also run a 13-
employee accounting rm. He ran unsuccess-
fully for county treasurer-tax collector four
years ago but feels controller is a better t .
To me, this is very natural, he said.
Both agree the controller should be an
elected rather than appointed position and see
positives in the possibility someday of the
county consolidating the ofce with tax col-
lector and treasurer since they have overlap-
ping functions.
But there are sharp difference in how each
addresses the job they would do as controller,
in some part by where they sit now. Galligan
said hes not been allowed to see the inner
workings and nances of the ofce so can
only speak generally about where greater ef-
ciencies or changes might be tting.
Everything may be perfect but it wouldnt
surprise me if there were some places that can
be tweaked, he said.
Raigoza points to where the ofce is now,
programs that are being implemented and
believes overall performance is solid.
He is excited about a new accounts payroll
project being implemented to move the
process to all-electronic. Among his points
of pride is the ofces popular annual nan-
cial report, or PAFR, which was in response
to the civil grand jurys recommendation the
ofce improve its transparency and deliver
the countys nancial picture in more collo-
quial terms rather than accounting jargon.
The county recently launched an online data
dashboard including open checkbook,
where visitors can see checks cut greater than
$5,000, and unclaimed checks where users
can see if they have outstanding money owed.
The annual reports also include more graphs,
denition of terms and data that tracks trends
as well as yearly information.
Raigoza said these are examples of the
ofce being responsive to the grand jury and
continually striving to be more user-friendly.
Were always ready to make things better,
he said.
Galligan also has praise for the portals and
the PAFR.
If elected to oversee the staff of 42, Raigoza
would like to do more performance audits of
other county departments.
This is where you get more bang for your
buck, he said.
He is also interested in maintaining and
improving relationships with the county
departments for which the controller man-
ages the books, particularly because he said
that helps facilitate change.
Making a recommendation that doesnt
get implemented doesnt do anybody any
good, Raigoza said.
Former controller Tom Huening raised eye-
brows in county government when he pub-
licly suggested the county couldnt afford to
build a new county jail. Raigoza said the con-
troller position is one of executing rather
than making policy.
However, thats not to say we cant assist
in nancial analysis, he said.
Galligan said his ghts would be with
Sacramento rather than with local ofcials.
This job means to give the numbers to the
supervisors and let them make decisions, he
said.
If elected, Galligan wants to meet with the
countys top 10 revenue producers to gure
out how to keep them happy. He also wants to
meet individually with workers for ideas on
improvements and to make sure the workers
are afforded the chance to be as up to date on
training as possible both for the ofce and
their own betterment.
He sees the county as a $2 billion business
and the controllers job to manage the books.
For Galligan, the job description also means
being a CPA which is why he said hes so
adamant about Raigozas qualications.
And as for Galligans insistence that he is
the only qualied candidate in the race?
I think thats wishful thinking on his
part, Raigoza said.

Andreas Dam that was begun in 1868,
ve years after the Pilarcitos Creek was
dammed in the watershed. In the 1860s,
the Spring Valley Water Company (later
the San Francisco Water Department)
obtained a right-of-way to build a ume
(water pipe) to transport water to the
Peninsula and San Francisco. The ume
was constructed through western
Millbrae (Millbrae Meadows), over
Jose de la Cruzs heirs property, pro-
ceeded down the hills into San Bruno
and along San Mateo Avenue. The ume
paralleled the east side of San Mateo
Avenue and was covered by a wooden
walkway. It was put underground in
1916. In the late 1800s, the company
built a pumping station on about 15
acres of land between El Camino Real
and the railroad tracks in Millbrae.
In the late 1800s, the water depart-
ment acquired 50 acres south of
Ludeman Lane on what is now Saint
Dunstans Church, McDonalds, numer-
ous other businesses and housing. They
built a high, derrick-like tower, which
functioned as an overow device when
water and pressure built up in the water
pipe. A reservoir to contain the over-
ow was dug near the present site of
the Green Hills Elementary School.
This reservoir provided a lot of enter-
tainment for kids to swim in and sup-
plied water for the ower businesses.
Much of this land was rented out to
families like the Berni, Crosatto,
Cozollini and Figone families for
ower and vegetable farming. West of
Millbrae, in the Skyline Boulevard
area, the company acquired land on
which they developed a water-treatment
plant and where the present-day compa-
ny recently completed construction of a
million-gallon storage tank.
In the early part of this century, the
Spring Valley Water Company built two
houses south of Ludeman Lane to be
used as residences for their superintend-
ents. The Lawrence family, Davis fami-
l y, Bachelor family and ONeil family
lived in these houses while employed
by the company. One of the houses was
eventually acquired by the Millbrae
Historical Society and became the
Millbrae Museum in 1985.
In 1906, a destructive earthquake and
ensuing res destroyed downtown San
Francisco and destroyed buildings on
the Peninsula. The water supply
approved inadequate for this disaster
and a bigger supply was sought. In
1913, the Raker Act became law and a
larger water supply was acquired in the
Yosemite Valley National Park.
Construction of the Hetch Hetchy Dam
by engineer Michael OShaughnessy
began in 1914.
It took until 1913 for Congress to
approve construction in Yosemite and
the 150-mile trip of the water to San
Francisco. In 1915, the construction of
the Hetch Hetchy Railroad began. This
railroad was to be used to supply the
construction of the dam. In 1919, after
almost six years of preliminary work
for the delivery system, Utah
Construction was awarded the contract
to construct the OShaughnessy Dam.
The original design of the Hetch Hetchy
system called for supplying water to all
of the Bay Area. The dam was designed
to deliver 400 million gallons of water
from the Tuolumne area. The East Bay,
however, decided to supply its own
water so the capacity of OShaughnessy
Dam was more than adequate.
Rediscovering the Peninsula by Darold
Fredricks appears in the Monday edition
of the Daily Journal.
HISTORY
101 and 92 provides convenient access
and great visibility from one of the
most important north-south/east-west
freeway interchanges in the Bay Area.
San Mateo Countys vacancy rate has
decreased to 11.28 percent from 11.37
percent, this the lowest vacancy rate
since fourth quarter 2007 when it was
11.33 percent. The average asking
monthly rental rate for San Mateo
County is $3.54 per square foot, the
highest seen since 2000, according to
Colliers International, the commercial
and residential real estate services
organization. This should stay steady
and consistent as its projected there
will be a continued tightening of the
downtown markets, said Rick Knauf,
executive managing director for
Colliers Peninsula ofce.
Wagner agreed with Knauf and that, in
part, is part of the reason for Harvests
purchase.
As these markets continue to tight-
en, San Mateo will continue to see fur-
ther tenant demand by offering relative
value to competing markets coupled
with central access to the entire Bay
Area, Wagner wrote.
The sale of this property for this
price is not surprising, Knauf said.
There also arent similar properties on
the market now, he said.
[Theres] very little quality product
available, Knauf wrote in an email.
And the price per foot of $362 is in the
ballpark for sales.
The buyers are planning improve-
ments on select vacant suites, lobby
renovations, a new sign program, ele-
vator upgrades and landscaping
improvements with the addition of a
new tenant-friendly courtyard amenity
to replace an existing outdated water
feature. Other changes include oor-by-
oor restroom, common area and eleva-
tor lobby upgrades coinciding with
major tenant lease expirations on
multi-tenant oors. Harvest also plans
to build a new parking structure.
Harvest negotiated three new lease
transactions including Apttus, totaling
39,744 square feet, RingCentral, an
additional 9,288 square feet, and Sierra
Venture, totaling 6,243 square feet, dur-
ing escrow.
This isnt the only big grabs along
the Peninsula this quarter. Gilead
Sciences leased the full building at 101
Lincoln Drive in Foster City for a total
of 108,900 square feet. Gilead pur-
chased eight office buildings from
Hines Corporate Properties for $91
million for a total of 250,000 square
feet at 323, 353-383 and 393 Vintage
Park Drive, and 100 and 110 Marsh
Drive in Foster City. Additionally,
Coupa Software began a 26,200-square-
foot lease at 1855 S. Grant St. in San
Mateo, according to Colliers.
In this same quarter, Heitman, a real
estate investment management firm
based out of Chicago, purchased the
office complex at 1001-1051 E.
Hillsdale Blvd. in Foster City from
Harvest and Invesco Real Estate for a
total of 398,000 square feet for more
than $200 million.

ple, she said. We decided never to
really expand.
Meyer and Bunje even interacted
quite a bit with children to explain how
to run a business.
A lot of schools came to see what
we were doing as entrepreneurs,
Meyer said. Id tell them to seek out
things you love, present it to the pub-
lic and see what the reaction is.
Meyer didnt expect to have the store
opened for 25 years.
I didnt know what to expect, she
said. You take it one day at a time and
it progresses. The customers are like
friends.
New goods come into the store every
day, Meyer said.
The things I have chosen are of
quality, have character and are some-
thing a little different than the big box
stores will have, she said. Theyre
not cookie cutter.
The store is located at 308 Lorton
Ave. in Burlingame and is open 10
a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Saturday.

MONDAY, APRIL 21, 2014
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) After working hard, you
deserve some downtime to relax with friends. A movie
or concert could lift your spirits; a day of pampering
would help prepare you for your next challenge.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Dont take
unnecessary risks. A joint moneymaking scheme
may tempt you, but you should hold back. You will do
better by sticking to conservative investments that
arent dependent on other people.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Let someone special
know how you feel. Miscommunication can cause
hurt feelings, but a truthful dialogue will strengthen
your relationship. Work as a team.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You will be pleasantly
surprised if you choose to join a serious-minded
organization. Your long list of accomplishments and
hard work will make you understandably proud and
will impress your cohorts.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Look before you leap.
Although you may have several interests in common
with a new acquaintance, you should take time to
explore possible problems before you make a promise.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Some family
members will try your patience. Avoid unpleasant
confrontations. Opt to spend time with peers and
to accomplish goals that will build your confidence
and brighten your future.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Your curiosity will be
stimulated by exotic destinations. Even if a trip is not
currently possible, there are many cultural activities
you can undertake to quench your thirst for knowledge.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Dont let
anothers opinion be the reason for a change in your
career direction. Do whats best for you. Consider all
of your options and follow your instincts.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Turmoil is likely
to disrupt your personal life. Take a step back and
re-evaluate your current situation. An objective view
will be required to avoid regret.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) You will have a much
better chance of reaching your goal if you keep your
plans secret. While its natural to want to share your
ideas, wait until you are fully prepared.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Focus on social
or humanitarian events that you feel passionate
about. Your persistence and dedication will enable
you to persuade others to join the cause you are
championing.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You may be
frustrated, but dont let problems at work interfere
with your home life. Whatever the issue, do
your best, act professionally and keep your two
environments separate.

the 70s (He assures me this was the epito-
me of style at the time). Ladies have also
undergone prom style evolutions over the
years. Dresses in the 50s tended to be white
and tea-length, while dresses of today cover
a range of colors, prints, luster, lengths ...
and plunges.
Regardless of current fashion trends, prom
remains an opportunity to feel glamorous.
Getting ready and dressing up becomes a
memory in itself and seeing peers dressed
their best provides a nice contrast from
daily school fashion.
Over the last several decades, the expecta-
tion to attend prom with a date has loos-
ened. In past years, many students stayed at
home the night of prom if they were unable
to nd a date. While a large number of stu-
dents still attend prom with dates, it is no
longer viewed as a necessity. I am so glad
prom can be something students can enjoy
with a group of friends and not something
that is limited by pressure to follow a some-
times exclusive tradition.
My favorite facet of prom is that it is uni-
versal. As I meet more students from other
high schools in other parts of the country,
Ive found that there are few things that link
our school experiences together. However,
one common link is almost always prom.
On several occasions, attending prom has
proved to be an invaluable conversational
starter when meeting new people. What did
your dress look like? What was your theme?
Can I see photos?
And just as prom connects me to other
people my age, I was reminded last week
that it also connects my generation to those
older than us. While setting up at the Design
Center a few hours before prom started, sev-
eral employees stopped to ask me what I
was doing. When I explained to them about
our prom, they all smiled and recounted
some of their experiences from their own
soirees during high school. Regardless of
age, they all viewed prom as a joyful memo-
ry to be reminisced with a smile.
While attending my senior prom is not
the most dening moment of my high
school career, I am so glad I could help con-
tinue a special American tradition and share
it with my friends.

Sciatica and herniated discs are often misunderstood.
They can cause pain and numbness intheback,neck,legs,andfeet.Thispainaffect-
severything that you do, from work to play, and ultimately your quality of life. We are
here to tell you that there is hope. We have the technology and experience to help
you fi nd relief from sciatica and back pain. At Crossroads Health Center, we have
helped thousands of pain sufferers just like you. We offer only the most advanced
non-surgical treatments.
Is Surgery the Answer?
It is true that surgery may be the answer for certain types of back injuries. When
considering your options, ask yourself this question If there is a solution to back
pain that doesnt require surgery, is it worth exploring?
Before you consider surgery consider these points

Ihe 8oIutioo. Ihe 6rossroads Method
The Crossroads Method is a proven, comprehensive treatment program which
includes computerized true disc decompression, cold laser therapy, and exercise
rehabilitation to promote long term spinal
health. Spinal decompression is considered
by many doctors to be the most advanced and
successful noninvasive treatment of erious
back, neck, leg or arm pain.
The Crossroads method allows for a much
higher success rate by increasing hydration
and restoring health to your discs. This results
in a more effective and lasting solution to your
pain. There are no side effects and no recov-
ery time is required. This gentle and relaxing
treatment has proven to be effective even
when drugs, epidurals, traditional chiropractic,
physical therapy and surgery have failed
The Crossroads Method has shown dramatic
results.

Many back pain conditions that we see can be helped by our state of the art decom-
pression tables and our treatment programs. Decompression relieves pressure
that builds up on the discs and nerves. The task of relieving pain comes about as a
result of drawing the leaking gel of a herniated disc back into place. Decompression
achieves this by creating negative pressure within the disc, referred to as negative
intra-discal pressure. This essentially creates a vacuum which draws the bulging
and herniated disc material back into the disc space, relieving pressure on painful
nerves. This process of non-surgical decompression combined with a customized
rehabilitation program allow the body to heal itself naturally.
Who is a 6aodidate Ior the 6rossroads Method
Our spinal decompression system has been found to relieve the pain associated
with disc degeneration, hemiated and bulging discs, facet syndrome, and sciatica.
Spinal decompression is a great option because back surgery is so risky.
Why 6rossroads heaIth 6eoter
Dr. Thomas Ferrigno D.C and his team have vast experience in treating patients
suffering from severe disc disease. Dr. Ferrigno has performed over 25,000 decom-
pression treatments and is currently only 1 of 2 doctors in the state of California who
is University Certified in Spinal Decompression Therapy. Dr. Ferrigno is also part of
the Disc Centers of America Team who are a national group of doctors that have
gone through extensive training that follow the protocols set up by The International
Medical Advisory Board on Spinal Decompression, and follow the protocols set for-
ward by Dr. Norman Shealy the Honorary Chairman, former Harvard professor, and
probably the most published doctor in the world on spinal decompression therapy.
