Rendering of Station Park Green.
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A second round of plans for Station
Park Green are underway as the San
Mateo Planning Commission provid-
ed feedback Tuesday night on the pre-
application to turn the 12-acre site
near the Hayward Park Caltrain Station
into a transit-oriented residential
development.
Property owner EBL&S
Development submitted a pre-applica-
tion with modications March 19 to
develop the site at 1700 S. Delaware
St., according to a city staff report.
The proposal still seeks to build 599
residential units, office and retail
space, underground parking and parks
just north of State Route 92. However,
instead of the original 2 acres of parks,
it now proposes 2.4 acres and will
include 10,000 square feet of ofce
space and 25,000 square feet of retail
space, according to the report. Instead
of underground parking, residents will
park inside the four larger buildings
hidden by the residences and ofce
space wrapping around, according to
the report.
The project is set up to ensure it
becomes a true transit-oriented devel-
opment by consisting primarily of
one-bedrooms and studios with only
about 25 percent of the project con-
taining two- and three-bedrooms, said
Alan Talansky with EBL&S.
Its target demographic are those who
use public transit and tend to be young
professionals who havent settled

District bans
e-cigarettes
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Entities across the Peninsula
have been scrambling to enact
electronic cigarette device poli-
cies and the San Mateo County
Community College District is the
latest to follow suit.
By a unanimous vote Tuesday,
the district Board of Trustees
moved to ban e-cigarettes on its
campuses since ofcials want to,
according to a staff report, pro-
vide a safe learning and working
environment for both students and
employees. The staff report noted
that there is evidence that vapor
from e-cigarettes may be harmful
and it is the intent of the district to
provide a smoke-free environment
to the greatest extent possible.
The board wanted to be out front
on this policy, said Barbara
Christensen, director of communi-
ty/government relations for the
district.
All of our policies go through a
participatory governance
process, Christensen said. One
of the faculty staff mentioned the
fact we should include e-cigarettes
[in the policy]. There was a wide
agreement it should be included
and so we did.
The district already prohibits
indoors and in all owned or leased
district facilities or vehicles.

County penciling out impacts
of Gov. Jerry Browns budget
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
When Gov. Jerry Brown
unveiled a revised budget this
week proposing to pay down
long-term pension debt and com-
mit to building up reserves, San
Mateo County ofcials applauded.
After all, Board of Supervisors
President Dave Pine said, the
county has been doing that itself.
I think that the governor is
wise to demonstrate fiscal pru-
dence. Those are things weve
known in San Mateo County and
weve certainly set an example,
Pine said.
Pine isnt saying Brown pur-
posely emulated San Mateo
Countys nancial path but said
the echoes are why he and other
ofcials didnt see any big surpris-

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
As a neglected strip of down-
town San Mateo is becoming revi-
talized through a collaborative
effort between city staff, mer-
chants, community members and a
nonprofit, some tenants say
theyre thrilled with the help, yet
fear beautifying the area may unin-
tentionally drive up rents.
North B Street stretches from the
Caltrain station to Tilton Avenue
and is lined with taquerias, thrift
stores, small retail shops, a
Laundromat, Latino-themed mar-
kets and the active Peninsula
Italian American Social Club.
Regardless of the proximity,
many businesses owners say they
feel disconnected from the down-
town core, prompting the city to
create the North B Street Initiative
with goals of making the area safer
and more attractive.
Just a few short months after the
Initiative was started, some prop-
erty owners have said they already
see a difference; police are
patrolling the area more, the
streets look cleaner, owers have
been planted and the area will host
this years SummerFest.
Pedro Zerpa, owner of the
Peruvian restaurant Fusion, said
some tenants are concerned as
they work to x up the area, land-
lords will begin to raise rents and
theyll be squeezed out of their
businesses.
If my lease increased a lot Im
going to have to look for other
cities to move my business. And I
really dont want to do that
because I really like the people on

Ohio court OKs order
that dad cant have more kids
ELYRIA, Ohio An Ohio appeals
court has upheld a judges order that a
deadbeat father cant have more kids
until he pays his back child support.
The decision this week by the 9th
District Court of Appeals didnt provide
an opinion about whether the judges
order was appropriate. Instead the
appeals court said it didnt have enough
information to decide the merits of the
case without a copy of the pre-sentence
report detailing Asim Taylors back-
ground.
In January 2013, Lorain County
Probate Judge James Walther said Taylor
couldnt have more children while he is
on probation for ve years. The judge
said the order would be lifted if Taylor
pays nearly $100,000 in overdue sup-
port for his four children.
The (Elyria) Chronicle-Telegram
reports that Taylors attorney is arguing
that the order violates his right to
reproduce.
Holy traffic cones
become symbol of Thai crisis
BANGKOK Thailands political
lexicon has a new term: the Holy Trafc
Cone.
The term went viral this week after a
series of vicious attacks on motorists
who moved trafc cones that anti-gov-
ernment protesters had arbitrarily
placed near rally sites.
A mix of outrage and creativity
sparked political cartoons and online
postings, including a widely shared
Facebook photograph that shows ve
men kneeling in prayer with heads
bowed to a cone on the street.
The message Dont touch the cone!
is circulating online. Acartoon listing
objects that cannot be moved in
Thailand depicts historical monuments
and a trafc cone.
Thai Politictionary, a website of Thai
political terms, added the term Holy
Cone to its site Monday. Denition: a
sacred trafc barrier deployed by secu-
rity guards for the protest movement.
Whoever dares to touch, move or
destroy the cone may be physically
assaulted.
The orange pylon has come to sym-
bolize the growing sense of hopeless-
ness many Thais feel over the some-
times violent upheaval that has left the
country in political disarray with bleak
prospects for a resolution anytime
soon.
Last week a court sacked Prime
Minister Yingluck Shinawatra for nepo-
tism, though her party remains heavily
inuenced from abroad by her brother,
former Prime Minister Thaksin
Shinawatra. Government opponents
vow to keep protesting until a new,
unelected government takes over to
begin political reforms, while
Yinglucks supporters say they will
take to the streets if that happens.
Parliament was dissolved late last
year, the results of partial elections in
February were thrown out and it is like-
ly that political tensions will scuttle
the caretaker governments plan to hold
elections in July.
Both government supporters and
opponents have been blamed for vio-
lence that has killed more than 20 peo-
ple and injured hundreds more since
anti-government protests began in
November, but it is the protest move-
ments security guards its hired
toughs who have been accused in the
recent attacks over trafc cones.
A Thai military colonel was shot in
the legs and beaten, allegedly by
protest guards, on April 25 when he
tried to move a cone blocking his route
home.
On Friday, cell phone video footage
that went viral allegedly showed protest
guards repeatedly punching a motorist
through his car window after he tried to
move a cone on a Bangkok toll road.
The third and most attention-grab-
bing attack came Saturday, when an ice
delivery man was stabbed repeatedly in
his chest and stomach for moving a
cone to make a delivery. The man
remained under intensive care at a
Bangkok hospital Wednesday.
No one has been arrested for the
attacks.
This is not just ridiculous and absurd,
this is lawlessness, said Pavin
Chachavalpongpun, an associate pro-
fessor at Kyoto Universitys Center for
Southeast Asian Studies.

After almost 50 years, students in the
county are still going on night walks,
attempting to kiss banana slugs and learn-
ing about nature for a week as part of the
San Mateo Outdoor Education program.
Outdoor Education began in the summer
of 1965 when Gus Xerogeanes, then a natu-
ral sciences teacher for the San Bruno Park
Elementary School District, took a group
of sixth-graders on a weeklong summer
school adventure to the YMCA Camp at
Jones Gulch near La Honda.
Its nice to have kids experience away
from home, said Xerogeanes, a San Bruno
resident. The outdoors and the science
part. Some kids never got a chance to
leave San Bruno. Its a good experience for
teachers also to be with the kids in a differ-
ent situation.
Since it went countywide in 1968, more
than 200,000 children have attended
Outdoor Education at Camp Jones Gulch.
During the weeklong trip, students learn
about the natural world, explore the forest
and beach ecosystems and work together as
a community. Students live in cabins, par-
ticipate in drama performances, sing, gar-
den, engage in composting competitions
and go on a discovery hike.
I loved Outdoor Ed when I went, said
Patrick Flynn, board president of the San
Bruno Park Elementary School District. It
really gives our kids a well-rounded educa-
tion; its part of growing up. For some of
the kids, its their rst time away from
home.
A districtwide program for San Bruno
schools was started in the spring of 1966
with 60 students each week due to limited
space at the site. In the fall of 1966, more
districts began participating in the pro-
gram, which San Bruno continued to run. A
pilot Outdoor Education program was
approved in 1968 and began with 650 stu-
dents. High school students acted as coun-
selors, now known as cabin leaders, and
teachers from the schools accompanied
their students to the site. Now, the program
receives applications for the naturalist
internship at the camp from across the
country, according to research on the pro-
gram by Kristina E. Chiosso posted on the
San Mateo County Ofce of Education web-
site.
The fact that Outdoor Ed has been around
for almost 50 years goes to show Gus
vision was innovative, Mark Nolan, direc-
tor of outdoor and environmental education
for the San Mateo County Office of
Education.
Parents and communities support it, he
said. In a technological world where were
tied to computers and iPads, seeing the
world in a natural way is more important
than ever. It continues to be more impor-
tant than ever to get kids to experience
nature.
The experience of going to Outdoor Ed
has lasting effects on the students and some
even come back as cabin leaders once they
get into high school to mentor the new
group of camp-goers, said Alicia McHale,
a teacher at Allen Elementary School in San
Bruno.
I have had the privilege of attending
Outdoor Ed with my fth-grade class for 15
years and it is always an awesome week in
nature, McHale wrote in an email. For so
many of my students, this is the rst time
they are away from their homes. Once at
camp, the students go for a hike after get-
ting off the bus and begin to meet other stu-
dents from San Mateo County. It is during
this time at Outdoor Ed that I truly see my
student bloom in ways I did not witness in
the classroom.
The program is available to districts
September to June. For more information

Security guard cut in
the neck during bar fight
Redwood City police are looking for
three men involved in a bar ght that turned
into an assault with a deadly weapon and
ended with a security guard being cut in the
neck.
Around 2 a.m. Saturday, three men were at
Headquarters Bar and Grill on Second
Avenue when they became vulgar and rude to
staff, said Redwood City police Lt. Sean
Hart.
[The suspects] were causing a distur-
bance in the bar. They were asked by securi-
ty to leave. Outside, they got into an alter-
cation with the (two) security guards and
one of the security guards was cut with a
piece of glass, Hart said.
Hart said one of the suspects grabbed a
whole glass bottle or bar glass and hit the
security guard in the neck causing him to
bleed.
The men ed the bar before police arrived,
Hart said.
All three are described as Hispanic, with
medium builds. The man who cut the securi-
ty guard is described as between 38 to 40
years old, 6 feet tall with black hair and a
mustache. The second man is described as
38 to 40 years old, about 5 feet 8 inches tall
with short black hair. The third man is
described as in his 30s, about 5 feet 9 inch-
es with a medium complexion and black
hair, Hart said.
Anyone with information should call
Redwood City police at (650) 780-7110.
Summer gas prices expected to dip
As the busy summer travel season
approaches, motorists in California can
expect to see a dip in gas prices, according
to AAA Northern Californias monthly gas
survey.
Of all the metro areas tracked by AAA i n
Northern California, San Mateo has the
highest gas price at $4.26 per gallon of
unleaded regular.
The average price of gas has dropped six
cents in the last week, with current prices in
California hovering about $4.18 per gal-
l on.
However, the survey pointed out that
Northern Californias average price for a
gallon of regular unleaded gasoline is up
$0.17 cents per gallon over last month, to
$4.15.
The national average price per gallon on
Tuesday was $3.64, and has fallen for the
past 14 days.
AAA says prices are expected to continue
to fall over the summer due to increased sup-
plies and the relative absence of disruptions
in production and distribution.
Barring any unforeseen renery mainte-
nance issues that could push California gas
prices up temporarily, state prices should
continue to fall as we approach the
Memorial Day holiday, said AAANorthern
California spokeswoman Cynthia Harris.
Nextdoor CEO charged
with felony hit-and-run
If you ask San Mateo County prosecutors,
the chief executive ofcer of a neighbor-
hood social networking website wasnt
exactly a good neighbor to a woman driving
in the lane next to him on Highway 101 in
Brisbane back in August.
An unsafe lane change made by Nextdoor
CEO Nirav Tolia on Aug. 4, 2013, caused
another motorist to spin out of control and
into a cement center divider, where the driv-
er suffered broken bones and injuries,
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said
Wednesday.
Tolias vehicle did not strike the other dri-
vers vehicle, but Wagstaffe said Tolias
lane change attempt caused the other vehi-
cle to spin out of control.
San Mateo County prosecutors led one
felony hit and run count against Tolia this
morning, because after the incident near the
Candlestick off ramp of northbound
Highway 101, Tolia continued driving and
failed to stop to help, Wagstaffe said.
Clearly this was an accident, there was
no malicious intent, but the crime is failing
to stay at the scene, Wagstaffe said. The
law does require that one stay on the scene.
He said that in a case like this where there
is only property damage and no injury, it
would be a misdemeanor charge, but since
injury did occur the count becomes a felony.
Afelony hit and run charge carries a max-
imum sentence of three years in state
prison. Tolia has no criminal record,
Wagstaffe said.
Tolia was sent a notice to appear by the
clerk Wednesday morning. He is scheduled
to appear for arraignment on May 28.

California to pay off
Schwarzenegger budget bond
SACRAMENTO California is on track to
pay off a $15 billion bond that was champi-
oned a decade ago by then-Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger as one of his rst major
actions in ofce.
In his revised budget released this week,
Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown proposed
spending $1.6 billion from a projected sur-
plus to make the nal payment during the s-
cal year that starts July 1. If the state doesnt
make the extra payment, the bond wont be
paid off until April 2016.
Browns nance department estimates the
total cost to the state to repay the bond will be
$19.5 billion, which includes $4.5 billion in
interest.
Schwarzenegger, a Republican, led a bipar-
tisan campaign in 2004 and successfully per-
suaded voters to approve the Economic
Recovery Bond to close the states budget
decit. At the time, Schwarzenegger pitched
the plan to renance the decit as a way to
avoid enormous public service cuts and possi-
bly higher taxes.
Condoleezza Rice
endorses Kashkari for governor
SACRAMENTO Former U.S. Secretary of
State Condoleezza Rice is endorsing invest-
ment banker Neel Kashkaris bid for
California governor amid growing concern
within the party about his GOP rival.
In an endorsement note sent Wednesday,
Rice says Kashkari is focused on uniting
Californians around scally conservative
economic principles.
She says the GOP must support policies
that make opportunity and the American
dream more accessible for all.
Its a subtle reference to the battle playing
out between Kashkari, a moderate former U.S.
Treasury ofcial in the Bush administration,
and Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, a tea party
favorite who is leading in polls for the June 3
election.
Man facing charges in
California burl poaching
EUREKA A Northern California man is
facing charges in connection with the cutting
of knobby growths from an old growth red-
wood tree.
Danny Garcia, of Orick, was scheduled to be
arraigned in Humboldt County on Wednesday
on charges of vandalism, grand theft and
receiving stolen property. It was not immedi-
ately clear whether he had an attorney.
Ofcials with Redwood National and State
Parks say a researcher found several large
burls missing from a tree in the park in April
2013.

over the Pacic coast city of Carlsbad, about
30 miles north of San Diego, known for its
Legoland California amusement park. The
park was closed Wednesday because of a
power outage caused by the re.
Over the past two days, at least six wildres
scattered within about 10 to 20 miles of each
other have broken out in northern San Diego
County.
Canyons were ablaze with walls of ames
racing between ridge-top homes and free-
ways. At least two reghters suffered minor
injuries one heat-related and one from
smoke inhalation.
Thousands were asked to evacuate their
homes including in Carlsbad after the
blaze erupted about 10:34 a.m. Wednesday
and spread through rapidly heavy brush
before jumping into residential areas.
Despite a state re report of 30 homes
burned earlier in the day, Carlsbad Fire Chief
Michael Davis said he knows of just three
homes destroyed and about a dozen damaged,
all of them in the same neighborhood.
The wind-driven wildre tossed embers
onto roofs and trees, igniting them.
Fireghters found themselves evacuating
people and battling the blaze at the same
time, Nick Schuler of Cal Fire said.
The res forward spread had been stopped,
but hotspots remain, he said. More than 50
engines were coming in from around the state
to help.
Theres days of work to be done before
the re is doused, Davis said, adding that this
res ngered in all locations.
A steady stream of residents stopped at a
roadblock on a four-lane thoroughfare as they
tried to return home to collect valuables.
Richard Sanchez watched nervously as a
plume of black smoke rose near his home. He
had left his house an hour earlier in sandals to
run an errand.
All I want to do is get there and evacuate,
Sanchez said. We have a plan, but I cant exe-
cute it.
As authorities yelled Please evacuate! in
Joe Posts Carlsbad neighborhood, he
grabbed a garden hose and doused a palm tree
in ames between his home and his neigh-
bors. He debated about leaving his home but
was worried what he might nd upon return-
ing.

SACRAMENTO A bill to make
California the rst in the nation to impose a
statewide ban on plastic bags at certain
retailers passed a key legislative committee
on Wednesday, but the legislation faces
staunch opposition from bag manufacturers
working to stem a ood of local bans meant
to end clutter in landlls and beaches.
Senate Bill 270 passed the Assemblys
Natural Resources Committee on a 5-3 vote
following the failure of similar bans on sin-
gle-use grocery bags in recent years. The lat-
est legislation won support from grocers for
including a 10-cent fee on paper bags and
from a handful of local plastic bag makers for
including $2 million for worker training and
assistance to shift to production of reusable
bags.
It will prove that having a greener econo-
my and cleaner environment is not mutually
exclusive with the preservation of jobs,
said state Sen. Kevin de Leon, D-Los
Angeles, a bill co-author along with Sen.
Alex Padilla, D-Los Angeles.
California, Massachusetts and Washington
have considered statewide plastic bag bans
this year to protect water and parks from a
buildup of litter, according to the National
Conference of State Legislators. Those
efforts follow the lead of municipalities,
including San Francisco, Los Angeles and
San Jose, that have such bans in place. Bill
supporters say one statewide prohibition on
single-use bags and one set of standards for
reusable bags would make it easier for
California businesses to follow the law.
Anational coalition of plastic bag manu-
facturers has taken its ght to television, air-
ing ads against the legislation. The group
calls it a money grab by grocers and says it
threatens 2,000 jobs in the state.
The last thing I ever expected was for our
product to become such a politically charged
issue and one that would lead to public policy
creating millions of dollars of prot from
consumers and transferring that prot to
retailers, Cathy Browne, general manager of
Los Angeles-area plastic bag maker Crown
Poly, told lawmakers.
She said the $2 million in assistance for
manufacturers wouldnt replace even a single
production line for her company alone.
Manufacturers and some grocers have
pushed for states to adopt a plastic bag recy-
cling program at stores instead of a ban, as
California did in 2006.

Garage door
opener used in car thefts
Two burglars made off with two cars from a
home after breaking into one vehicle and
using the garage door opener to steal another
in South San Francisco Wednesday morning.
Around 2:20 a.m., a Lexus parked in the
driveway of a residence on the 100 block of
April Avenue was broken into, according to
South San Francisco police. The suspect used a
remote garage door opener that was found in
the Lexus, according to police.
The suspects then found a Honda Civic and
the keys to both cars in the garage. Both cars
were stolen, however, the Lexus, which was
involved in several minor collisions with
unoccupied parked cars and stationary objects,
was found several blocks away, according to
police. No one was injured, however, the
Honda, license plate No. 5RRF435, is still
missing, according to police.
Anyone with information should call South
San Francisco police at (650) 877-8900.
Interim Oakland police
chief now permanent chief
OAKLAND After a year serving on the
job, interim Oakland police chief Sean Whent
became the departments permanent chief
Wednesday.
Mayor Jean Quan of-
cially swore in Whent, 39,
after a nationwide search.
He becomes Oakland
polices fourth permanent
chief since 2009.
An 18-year-veteran,
Whent became interim
chief last May as part of a
major management shake-
up of the beleaguered
department. He took over from acting chief
Anthony Toribio, who stepped down and
assumed the rank of captain less than 48 hours
after replacing then-Chief Howard Jordan,
who retired.
The low-key Whent, who served in the
departments internal affairs division before
taking over as interim chief, isnt popular
with some rank-and-le ofcers, but violent
crime and homicides have dropped about 30
percent under his leadership in one of
Americas most dangerous cities.
The Department has turned the corner in so
many areas and is making progress on many
fronts. None of that progress would have been
possible were it not for all of your hard work
and dedication, Whent told his department
staff before he was sworn in. I am tremen-
dously honored to lead this organization for-
ward, and I look forward to working with all of
you. Stay safe.
Student shot, wounded
near Bay Area high school
RICHMOND A San Francisco Bay Area
high school was locked down after a shooting
nearby left a student seriously wounded.
Richmond Police Capt. Mark Gagan says
the shooting occurred Wednesday morning
about a half block from John F. Kennedy High
School.
School resource ofcers arrived at the scene
to nd a 14-year-old boy shot in the leg. The
shooting was apparently preceded by a ght
involving several young people.
Gagan says the resource ofcers took the
student inside the school. He was later taken
by ambulance to a local hospital, where he
was listed in serious condition.
The high school and a nearby elementary
school were placed on lockdown as a precau-
tion. Gagan says the lockdown was lifted
shortly before 10 a.m.
San Franciscos Coit Tower reopens
SAN FRANCISCO San Franciscos land-
mark Coit Tower reopened to the public on
Wednesday after a six-month, $1.7 million
upgrade that included the restoration of its
famed murals.
City ofcials were among scores of people
who attended a celebration marking the
Depression-era towers reopening.
Advocates for the tower say it was desper-
ately in need of repair. It had lead paint peeling
from the ceiling, poor lighting and water
leaks that were corroding the murals.
Much of the repair work consisted of weath-
er-proong the building, San Francisco
Recreation and Parks Department spokes-
woman Sarah Ballard told KTVU-TV.
One of the challenges with Coit Tower is
that it actually wasnt made to have these
murals on the inside, she said. Its a porous
building.
In addition to the repairs, the tower will now
offer docent tours, so people can learn about
the murals and the time period they reect,
parks ofcials said. A mural on the second
oor will also be open to the public for the
rst time.

SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown is
seeking millions of dollars more to fix
problems at an $839 million prison medical
complex that was built to help end years of
federal court oversight.
The California Health Care Facility in
Stockton opened in July. Six months later,
the federal overseer who runs the prison
medical system abruptly halted admissions,
citing a series of problems that have yet to
be corrected.
The revised budget Brown proposed
Tuesday requests $12.4 million to correct
what it calls unanticipated operational
issues. The proposal is critical to xing
the deciencies at the prison, said Joyce
Hayhoe, a spokeswoman for the federal
receivers ofce.
Prison medical receiver J. Clark Kelso
cited a lack of health care
and support staff, prob-
lems with managing the
food service, inadequate
accommodations for dis-
abled inmates, and logis-
tical problems such as
providing basic medical
and personal hygiene
products.
For example, he said an
outbreak of scabies likely resulted from an
inability to provide adequate hygiene sup-
plies. Nurses also were not even given the
proper keys that would get them into cells
and other locations in the facility, he said.
Part of the additional money will go to
hiring 106 additional employees, including
77 prison guards, said Deborah Hoffman, a
spokeswoman for the state Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation.

SACRAMENTO California Republicans
who have been trying to rebrand their party as
more inclusive and attuned with the issues
that Californians care about had hoped this
year to offer a candidate for governor who t
that image.
Now, however, the party faces the prospect
of a conservative gubernatorial nominee who
is on probation for carrying a loaded gun into
an airport, is accused of race-baiting and is
best known for his opposition to gun control
and any relaxation of immigration laws.
While Republicans do not expect to unseat
Gov. Jerry Brown in November, tea party dar-
ling Tim Donnellys rise over businessman
Neel Kashkari has alarmed party leaders who
worry that the assemblymans candidacy is
setting back the rebranding and could hurt
other candidates on the ballot.
He will simply drag down massive num-
bers of Republicans who think they are safe
today, said Tony Quinn, a Republican and co-
editor of the Target Book, which analyzes leg-
islative and congressional races in the state.
Donnellys popularity in public opinion
polls ahead of the June 3 primary had already
elicited concern from Republicans when he
began trying to link Kashkari, who is Indian-
American and Hindu, to Islamic Shariah law.

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)

Barack Obama speaks about transportation infrastructure during a visit to the Tappan Zee
Bridge in Tarrytown, New York.
WASHINGTON The government is run-
ning out of money to repair deteriorating
roads, bridges and ports, and President Barack
Obama says more federal spending will help
avert a looming crisis that could stie eco-
nomic growth and torment commuters.
Obamas visit Wednesday afternoon to New
Yorks Tappan Zee Bridge was a central part of
his administration effort this week to call
attention to the nations crumbling infra-
structure.
The major Hudson River crossing point,
which opened to trafc in 1955, is now being
replaced at a cost of $3.9 billion. The nanc-
ing is largely by bonds paid for through high-
er tolls.
In addition to promoting a four-year, $302
billion transportation plan that he wants
Congress to back, the president intended to
cite efforts to cut red tape and delays in per-
mitting, according to the White House.
Obama also was to headline a pair of high-
dollar fundraisers beneting Democratic can-
didates in the November elections. On
Thursday, the president and rst lady Michelle
Obama planned to attend the dedication cere-
mony for the National September 11
Memorial & Museum at the World Trade
Center.

Arkansas gay marriages
end, for now, after ruling
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. The Arkansas
Supreme Court refused Wednesday to put on
hold a ruling that overturned the states
constitutional ban on gay marriage, but
the short-lived ability for same-sex cou-
ples to wed in the state still came to a halt
amid confusion about what comes next.
The justices in their decision offered no
direction on that point to the states coun-
ty clerks, some of whom had pointed to
another ban against gay marriage that is
written into an aspect of state law and
questioned if it remained in effect.
I think it actually makes it a little more
muddy, Chris Villines, the executive
director of the Association of Arkansas
Counties, said Wednesday evening after
reviewing the Supreme Courts decision.
Last Friday, Pulaski County Circuit
Judge Chris Piazza threw out a 10-year-old
ban that voters placed in the state consti-
tution and a separate state law barring
same-sex marriages. But he didnt rule on a
third law that regulates the conduct of
county clerks, which threatens fines if
they issue marriage licenses to same-sex
couples.
Clerks in five counties responded to
Piazzas decision by issuing marriage
licenses to gay couples, and more than
450 gay couples in Arkansas have since
received permission to marry. Two coun-
ties continued to issue licenses on
Wednesday, but they stopped after the
Supreme Courts ruling. Couples that
already have licenses can still get married.
Pew: Student loans
often mean more overall debt
WASHINGTON Young adults who took
out loans for college have significantly
more overall debt than those who didnt
have to borrow for their education,
researchers report.
A Pew Research Center study released
Wednesday examined households headed
by people under 40 and found those with
student loans tend to typically have about
$137,010 in overall debt, including mort-
gages, car loans, and credit cards.
That compares with $73,250 for similar
households without student loans to repay.
Young adults with student loans are
behind in building their nest eggs, said
the lead author, Pew senior economic
Richard Fry.

SOMA, Turkey Amid wails of grief and
anger, rescue workers coated in grime
trudged repeatedly out of a coal mine
Wednesday with stretchers of bodies that
swelled the death toll to 274 the worst
such disaster in Turkish history.
Hopes faded for 150 others still trapped
deep underground in smoldering tunnels
lled with toxic gases.
Anti-government protests broke out in
the mining town of Soma, as well as
Istanbul and the capital, Ankara, with Prime
Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan heckled as
he tried to show concern. Protesters shouted
Murderer! and Thief! and Erdogan was
forced to seek refuge in a supermarket, sur-
rounded by police.
The display of anger could have signi-
cant repercussions for the Turkish leader,
who is widely expected to run for president
in the August election, although he has not
yet announced his candidacy.
Tensions were high as hundreds of rela-
tives and miners jostled outside the mines
entrance Wednesday, waiting for news amid
a heavy police presence. Rows of women
wailed uncontrollably and men knelt sob-
bing or simply stared in disbelief as rescue
workers removed body after body, some
charred beyond recognition.

BAUCHI, Nigeria Islamic militants
again attacked the remote Nigerian town
from which nearly 300 schoolgirls were
kidnapped, Nigerias military said
Wednesday, resulting in a firefight that
killed 12 soldiers and led angry troops to
re on a commanding ofcer.
Soldiers said the troops red at a senior
ofcer who came to pay respects to the
killed soldiers, whose bodies were brought
to a barracks in Maiduguri, the capital of
northeastern Borno state.
Its another sign of demoralization in the
military that is in charge of the search for
the abducted schoolgirls. The failure of
Nigerias government and military to nd
them after the April 15 mass abduction has
triggered national and international outrage
and forced Nigerias government to accept
international help last week.
Nigerias Ministry of Defense played
down Wednesdays shooting incident, say-
ing soldiers registered their anger about
the incident by ring into the air. The situa-
tion has since been brought under control,
as there is calm in the cantonment in
Maiduguri, about 130 kilometers north of
Chibok, where the girls were abducted.

Attack on Thai

BANGKOK Explosions and an
overnight shooting attack on anti-govern-

killed at least two people early Thursday,
authorities said, the latest political vio-

months.
The citys Erawan Medical Center, which
tracks casualties, said 22 people were also
wounded in the assault before dawn near the
citys Democracy Monument, where pro-
testers are camping out.
The casualties bring the toll in political
violence since protests began to oust the
government in November to 27 dead and
800 wounded.
The crisis deepened last week when the
Constitutional Court removed Prime
Minister Yingluck Shinawatra for nepotism
in a case that many viewed as politically
motivated. Nine Cabinet ministers were
also dismissed. Protesters say her removal
is not enough; she was simply replaced by
a caretaker premier from the ruling party,
Niwattumrong Boonsongpaisan.

The role of a city in development
Editor,
In 2012, the Bridgepointe owners
went public with their plan to demol-
ish the ice rink and replace it with
retail. Did they anticipate so many
ice rink supporters or that they would
continue to be so outspoken, a year
after the Bridgepointe owners forced
the rink to close? Responding to
comments and questions at a recent
meeting, the owner repeated that its
private property, as if that gives him
full control over the land.
Private property is not a blank
check. City land use and enforcement
actions control privately owned
property. In 14 years on the Planning
Commission, I participated in private
property issues, including
Bridgepointe. Want to add to your
home or build new townhouses? Get
city approval rst. Redeveloping
over 70 acres of an old shopping cen-
ter? The city master plans the project,
just as it did when Bridgepointe was
approved in the late 90s.
The city has the right and obliga-
tion to enforce codes, zoning and,
yes, legally adopted master plans.
Otherwise why approve them? When
the city carries out its role, we all
benet. If they dont, our community
suffers, and land values decline,
because people cant be assured their
investment will be in a stable, desir-
able and well balanced community.
It may take lengthy hearings, even
litigation, to decide the legal limits
of private property versus a citys
ability to enforce its approved plans
for the public good. The process
starts at the Planning Commission
Tuesday, May 27.

Chicken Little
promotes climate change
Editor,
Mr. Slavens in his letter to the edi-
tor, Chicken Little in the May 10
edition of the Daily Journal, stated
that a few unbelieving members of
the scientic community is not
enough to counter the 99 percent who
do believe in climate change.
Sometimes the consensus regarding a
matter is not correct. An example of
this is Louis Pasteur who fought to
convince surgeons that germs existed
and carried diseases, and dirty instru-
ments and hands spread germs and
therefore disease.
Even the government is divided on
this issue. In January 2014, two fed-
eral agencies, the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration and
NASA, both conrmed that there has
been no increase in global tempera-
ture for the past 17 years, even as
atmospheric carbon dioxide has
increased over nine percent.
Mr. Slavens said that even if the
consensus is wrong there will be no
harm done because pollution will be
reduced. There are other costs associ-
ated with the promotion of climate
change as a settled science, such as
unnecessary fear and money that
could have been used to address actual
problems. One of the leading propo-
nents of climate change, Al Gore,
stated in 2008 that the entire north
polar ice cap will be gone in ve
years. It appears that Chicken Little
is no longer concerned about the sky
falling and is now focusing on rising
sea levels and polar snow caps melt-
i ng.

Letters to the editor
Chicago Tribune
A
fter a harsh winter, its time
to get out and hit the open
road. So whats with $4-a-
gallon gasoline? North American oil
production is on the rise, so you
might have expected a break at the
pump by now. Yet gas prices remain
stubbornly high.
What happened to the homegrown
energy boom? Wasnt North Dakota
supposed to be Americas Saudi
Arabia? How come gas isnt back to
$2 a gallon?
The boom is real, and North
Dakota, along with states and
Canadian provinces, is producing a
gusher of oil. The North American
energy bonanza now underway is
helping the U.S. economy to pull out
of the doldrums. It helped ease the
pain of Chicago residents during the
cold winter, since stepped-up natural
gas production kept heating bills
lower.
But gasoline, alas, is not going to
be half price anytime soon, if ever.
Americas oil boom is delivering
broad benets, but not necessarily at
the pump.
The good news is that oil analysts
say gas prices probably peaked for
this year in late April.
Based on todays market condi-
tions, prices should decline by a nick-
el or a dime over the next month.
Prices bounce around during the
year. Its not unusual for prices at the
pump to rise in the spring, ahead of
the summer driving season. Thats due
in part to reneries switching to a dif-
ferent formula for gasoline that meets
clean-air requirements during the
warm-weather months. As companies
draw down winter stockpiles, conduct
routine spring maintenance and ramp
up production of the summer blend,
prices are prone to short-term spikes.
This year, the transition has gone
smoothly. Supplies of reformulated
gasoline are building. The usual run-
up in prices ahead of the summer driv-
ing season is likely to be especially
short-lived. Prices also vary by geog-
raphy: Some parts of the country
including southern Illinois, though
not heavily taxed Chicago could
see gasoline selling below $3 a gal-
lon later in 2014.
The controversial extraction tech-
nology known as fracking is con-
tributing to the enhanced production
of domestic oil and natural gas. The
light, sweet crude produced in the U.S.
sells at a considerable discount here
compared with the price paid on other
continents, because there is so much
of it at our disposal, according to Tom
Kloza, chief oil analyst for the Oil
Price Information Service. The oil
industry, as well as energy-dependent
chemical, utility and industrial users,
has been growing fast as a result. That
economic activity ultimately creates
jobs.
But the impact at the pump is limit-
ed because oil is an internationally
traded commodity. By virtue of its
soaring production, North America is
more insulated from price shocks
prompted by disruptive events in the
Middle East and other oil-producing
regions than it has been in years. The
U.S. shale boom is replacing oil
being kept off the market because of
geopolitical issues in Ukraine, Iran
and elsewhere.
But the U.S. cant insulate itself
entirely from global energy markets.
Energy prices are always a moving
target. We got a break on heating
bills during an extremely cold winter,
thanks to natural-gas production. But
well pay more this summer to cool
our homes, reecting rising costs to
secure electricity supply. Gasoline
may not seem cheap these days, but
its a relative bargain. America needs
to keep conserving and producing
energy to keep those costs in check.
Americas oil boom
Independents day
T
he states voting rolls are filled with a growing
number of independent thinkers.
Unfortunately, a significant swath of these
independents are signed up for the wrong political
party. These are the ones who marked American inde-
pendent because they dont want to be pigeonholed
left, right, middle or even slightly askew. But the
American Independent Party is not the same as inde-
pendent or declaring no party preference and these
slightly misguided voters might find themselves crash-
ing a party that isnt a big fan of illegal immigrants,
gay marriage and abortion. For those who count them-
selves on the pro side of these issues, registering for
this party might be a bit alarming.
Think of it as finding out your online paramour isnt
exactly who you think he or she is but having to go
through with the date because youve already commit-
ted. In this case, that
date is Election Day and
its one each person has
to navigate for them-
selves. No wingman
allowed in the voting
boot h.
But Mark Vargas, a
Los Angeles resident
and former member of
the Little Hoover
Commission, reported-
ly is trying to give
potential voters a little
help in picking the
right party prior to that
poi nt .
On April 1, Vargas publicly threw out the claim that
as many as 95 percent of voters registered to the
American Independent Party actually didnt mean to do
so. He followed up by launching a Dont be AIPrl
Fooled campaign to highlight the common error and
help voters untangle themselves if they wish. There
are links to county registrars, online voter registration
systems and proof that those who checked the wrong
box are not alone. According to Vargas website, those
who accidentally signed up include state elected offi-
cials, at least one former police chief in Los Angeles
and even Jennifer Siebel Newsom, wife of our current
lieutenant governor.
This name snafu is probably why the American
Independent Party is among the fastest growing and
comes in third in California, according to the Secretary
of States Office.
Granted, with 2.68 percent of registered voters (as of
late April data), the American Independent Party is
admittedly not in the same sphere as Democrats
43.48 percent as of April 4 and Republicans with
28.55 percent. The AIP is also dwarfed by the collec-
tive who declared no party preference. These loners
21.06 percent of the 17,660,486 registered voters as
of April 2014 and that number is a serious jump since
the last gubernatorial primary in 2010. Back then,
20.14 percent of voters werent so thrilled by any of
the political parties, large or small.
But while the AIP is small, it is mighty (regardless of
why people are actually signing up) and seriously beat-
ing out those Greens, Libertarians and Peace and
Freedom folks in the popularity game. Theres also
Americans Elect. No clue who they are but I give the
3,600-plus members props for registering to vote and,
hopefully, actually following through.
With the shifts in party affiliation and Californias
move to a top-two primary election, it doesnt really
matter so much under what banner a resident casts a
vote just that they do and for which candidate and
what issues they do it.
Be a grand old partygoer. Fly a donkey flag. Heck,
fly whatever flag you want. But to earn that right, you
have to vote.
Thankfully for the procrastinators, the deadline to
register isnt until May 19. So get thee to the
Elections Office or get thee to a computer. Like politi-
cal party, its a matter of preference.
When it comes to elections, there isnt really a
wrong party. The important thing is just that you par-
ticipate. Not doing so is the only thing that doesnt
register.

Big movers
By Steve Rothwell
NEWYORK Stocks fell back from
record levels on Wednesday as
investors decided it was better to play
it safe.
Aday after the Standard & Poors 500
index climbed above 1,900 for the rst
time, investors turned their backs on
stocks that would benet more than
others in a reviving economy.
Consumer discretionary stocks, a
group that includes luxury retailers and
entertainment companies, dropped the
most. Industrial and technology com-
panies also fell, and riskier, small-
company stocks resumed a sell-off after
rebounding on Monday.
Instead, investors bought safe and
steady stocks. Utility and telecom
stocks, which investors favor when the
markets get choppy, rose the most in
the S&P 500. U.S. government bonds
also rallied, pushing the yield on the
10-year Treasury note to its lowest in
more than six months, another sign
that investors were favoring safer
assets.
Theres some internal self-correc-
tion and rotation going on beneath the
surface, said Jim Russell, a regional
investment director at US Bank.
Russell said stocks were getting closer
to being fairly valued.
The Standard & Poors 500 index fell
8.92 points, or 0.5 percent, to
1,888.53. The Dow Jones industrial
average dropped 101.47 points, or 0.6
percent, to 16,613. The Nasdaq com-
posite fell 29.54 points, or 0.7 per-
cent, to 4,100.63.
The Russell 2000 index, a gauge of
small-company stocks, fell 18.02
points, or 1.6 percent, to 1,103.14.
The index has slumped 9 percent since
peaking March 4 as investors sold
riskier stocks.
Bonds benefited from investors
appetite for less risky assets.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury
note, which falls when the price of the
bond rises, dropped to the lowest its
been since October. The yield declined
to 2.54 percent from 2.61 percent late
Tuesday.
People are rotating out of equities
and into bonds, said Mark Pibl, U.S.
xed income strategists at Canaccord
Genuity, a wealth manager, of
Wednesdays move in the bond market.
Bonds have surged this year because
ination remains low and investors
have become concerned that the econo-
my may not grow as quickly as previ-
ously anticipated. Barclays index of
Treasury bonds maturing in 20 years or
more has gained 10.6 percent, outper-
forming the 2.2 percent rise for the
S&P 500 stock index.
In corporate news, Fossil, a maker of
watches, jewelry and accessories, was
the biggest decliner in the S&P 500.
Fossil fell $11.45, or 10.3 percent,
to $100 after the company said late
Tuesday that its rst-quarter net income
fell 8 percent, despite sales gains
across all its business segments. The
results beat market expectations, but
the company gave a weak forecast.
Deere was another company to
decline after reporting earnings.
The maker of farm equipment fell
$1.91, or 2 percent, to $91.70 after the
company reported a decline in second-
quarter net income because of weaker
demand for its products. The company
also cut its full-year sales forecast.
Almost all of the companies in the
S&P 500 have nished reporting their
first-quarter earnings. Earnings rose
3.3 percent for the period, according to
S&P Capital IQ. That compares with
growth of almost 8 percent in the
fourth quarter.

Google to release
diversity data about workforce
MOUNTAIN VIEW Google is planning to release
statistics documenting the diversity of its workforce for
the rst time amid escalating pressure on the technolo-
gy industry to hire more minorities and women.
The numbers are compiled as part of a report that
major U.S. employers must file with the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission. Employers,
though, arent required to make the information pub-
licly available. Google Inc. had resisted calls for it to
share the diversity data.
The company announced its about-face Wednesday
during its annual shareholders meeting after the Rev.
Jesse Jackson, a longtime civil rights leader, urged
Google to lead the effort to hire more minority and
women in technology.
Jackson applauded Google for its concession. Google
Inc. says the information will be released sometime
next month.
Business brief
NEWYORK Yahoo is buying the
mobile messaging app Blink.
Terms of the deal, which was
announced Wednesday on Blinks
website, are not being disclosed.
Messages sent through the Blink
app self-destruct after a certain amount
of time. The app allows users to send
texts, sketches, record audio, make
videos and take photos. Its main rival
is Snapchat, which Facebook report-
edly tried to buy for $3 billion.
Blink said it will shut down both the
iOS and Android versions of the app in
the coming weeks before the
switchover.
The move comes amid both Yahoos
continued efforts to reinvent itself and
rising interest from social networking
companies in mobile messaging
apps.
Sunnyvale-based Yahoo Inc. has
bought numerous startups since the
arrival of CEO Marissa Mayer two
years ago in an attempt to increase its
mobile presence and reverse a decline
in advertising revenue.
Meanwhile, Facebook spent $19
billion earlier this year to buy the
Mountain View-based messaging app
WhatsApp, which had 450 million
users at the time, after its attempts to
buy Los Angeles-based Snapchat
failed.

SAN DIEGO California home
prices rose in April at their slowest
pace in more than a year, while sales
fell but less dramatically, a real estate
research firm said Wednesday.
The median sales price of $383,000
was up 2 percent from March and 18
percent from April of 2013.
Prices have jumped year-over-year
for 26 months. But this was the first
time in nearly 1 1/2 years that the
increase was less than 20 percent,
according to San Diego-based
DataQuick Inc.
Nearly 38,000 homes and condo-
miniums were sold in the state, up
15.4 percent from March. That
month-to-month gain was much larg-
er than the average increase of around
3 percent between March and April.
However, sales were down nearly 3
percent compared to April 2013.
Sales have fallen on a year-over-year
basis for seven months in a row, but
this was the smallest decline yet,
DataQuick reported.
A higher inventory of homes may
have eased prices.
The latest figures from the
California Association of Realtors
show that California had a four-month
supply of homes for sale in March,
compared to a 2.9-month supply a
year earlier.
There were other indicators that the
housing market was improving.
Foreclosure activity remains well
below year-ago and peak levels
reached in the last five years.
Financing with multiple mortgages is
low, while down payment sizes are
stable, DataQuick said in a state-
ment.
California home price gains slow in April
LOS ANGELES Netix increased
its share of xed-line Internet trafc in
North America in the rst half of 2014,
accounting for 34 percent of data ow-
ing to consumers during peak times,
up from 32 percent in the latter half of
2013.
Thats according to a new report
from Sandvine Inc., a Canadian net-
working services company.
Sandvine also found that le-sharing
the main tool of content piracy
had fallen to 8.3 percent of all daily
network trafc, compared to 31 per-
cent in 2008, as legitimate options
ourished.
Sandvine for the rst time identied
Internet users who are likely cord cut-
ters, or those likely to drop tradition-
al pay TV. They were the top 15 per-
cent heaviest users of streaming audio
and video.
The group accounted for 54 percent
of all Internet trafc, consuming on
average 212 gigabytes of data per
month. That would be roughly equiva-
lent to watching 100 hours of video
per month, Sandvine said.
Meanwhile, the bottom 15 percent
of streamers accounted for less than 1
percent of all trafc, averaging under 5
GB of data per month and streaming
entertainment less than 1 hour a
month.
The report comes amid public feud-
ing between Netix Inc. and Internet
service providers about who should
pay for network improvements needed
to maintain quality video streams.
Federal regulators are also proposing
rules that could permit new fast lanes
on the Internet for companies that pay
for the privilege.

A GIANT REBOUND: AFTER BEING SHUT OUT TUESDAY, SAN FRANCISCO ERUPTS FOR 10 RUNS IN WIN OVER ATLANTA >> PAGE 12
Thursday May 15, 2014
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
With sunlight rapidly fading, Menlo-
Atherton manager Mike Amoroso decided to
take a chance and it paid off in spades.
Trailing Aragon 5-4 in the bottom of the
10th inning, the Bears had runners on sec-
ond and third with one out. Lawson Joos put
down a safety-squeeze bunt and while he was
thrown out at rst, Matt DeTrempe scored
easily from third to tie the score.
The runner at second, Charlie Cain, never
slowed as he rounded third and headed home.
Brennan Careys throw to the plate beat
Cain by plenty, but the Aragon catcher
could not hold on to the throw and Cain was
safe with the winning run, 6-5, setting off a
wild celebration by the Bears, who advance
to the seminals of the Peninsula Athletic
League baseball tournament Thursday.
The third-seeded Bears will now face No. 2
Terra Nova at 4 p.m. Thursday in Pacica.
The Tigers beat Sacred Heart Prep 8-2 to
advance to the seminals.
Amoroso said the decision to send Cain
was one he had planned all along.
Youre basically trying to get two runs
across the plate for the price of one out,
Amoroso said.
For Aragon, which had taken the lead in
the top of the 10th on a Spencer Walling
RBI single, it was another gut-wrenching
loss.
Its just a lot of heartbreak in two
weeks, said Aragon manager Lenny Souza.
The Dons lost 1-0 to Capuchino in the reg-
ular-season nale when the Mustangs scored
the winning run in the bottom of the ninth
May 9.
Souza was more than surprised when he
saw Cain heading home.
Shocked, Souza said.
The Bears gamble put an end to a truly
epic game. Its the third time these teams
have faced each other, with the rst two end-
ing in ties.
Youve heard of pitchers having a stress-
ful inning? This was a stressful game for

B
uster Posey is scared. Buster
Posey should no longer be catch-
ing. Buster Posey is suffering
from post-traumatic stress disorder.
Buster Posey sucks.
That was the general gist of the lunatic
fringe, AKA callers to KNBR radio host
Marty Lurie, following the Giants 5-0
loss to Atlanta Tuesday night, during
which Posey failed to tag out Jason
Heyward on a play at
the plate.
Lurie certainly
fanned the ames by
calling the play the
turning point in the
game and harping on
that one play all post-
game long, prodding
callers to see things
his way, never mind
the fact the Giants
hitters were being
absolutely handcuffed
by Atlanta starter
Mike Minor. One run was going to be
enough for the Braves Tuesday night,
whether Posey made the play or not.
I always think Im a pessimist when it
comes to rooting for my teams, but Im a
ray of sunshine compared to KNBR callers
Tuesday night.
Cant a player simply have a bad game?
Posey made a mistake. It wasnt the rst
and it certainly wont be the last, yet fans
have unreal expectations. Many fans
believe Posey is the second coming of
Josh Gibson, a player who can do no
wrong. Im surprised fans havent anoint-
ed him with a cutesy, animal nickname,
like they tend to do with all their other
favorite players.
And yet when he does make a mistake,
those same fans are ready to ship him off
to Fresno.
To paraphrase Sgt. Hulka in the 1980
OAKLAND The Golden State
Warriors are taking another chance
on a television analyst and former
NBA guard who has never been a
head coach at any level.
The Warriors won the bidding war
with the New York Knicks for Steve
Kerr on Wednesday, hiring him
away from the TNT broadcast table
to be their coach. Kerr agreed to a
ve-year, $25 million deal with
Golden State, said his agent, Mike
Tannenbaum.
The Warriors conrmed the agree-
ment Wednesday night and said they
will introduce Kerr at a news confer-
ence after the contract is complete.
Kerr had been in talks with the
Knicks about becoming their coach
since Phil Jackson took over as
team president in March. He won
three titles playing for Jackson in
Chicago and another two under
Gregg Popovich in San Antonio.
Kerr told NBA.com, which rst
reported the agreement, that going
to Golden State just felt like the
right move on
many levels.
He said his
daughter plays
volleyball near-
by at the
University of
C a l i f o r n i a ,
Berkeley, his
oldest son is in
college in San
Diego and his youngest son is a jun-
ior in high school.
Kerr called the offer to coach the
Knicks a tantalizing opportunity.
He said it was agonizing to say no
to Jackson because of what I think
of him and what he's done for my
career.
I told Phil, I think I have to pur-
sue this other opportunity, Kerr
told the website. He gave me his
blessing. He said. Go look at it,
and do what was in my heart.
Kerr, 48, said last month that he
has wanted to coach since stepping
down after three seasons as general
manager of the Phoenix Suns in
June 2010. And while the lure of
rebuilding a agship franchise with
his mentor at Madison Square
Garden looked appealing, the
chance to coach a Western
Conference contender in his home
state proved to be too much.
Kerr replaces Mark Jackson, who
was red by the Warriors on May 6
after three seasons and back-to-back
playoff appearances mostly due
to a sour relationship between him
and team management.
The Warriors job is certainly a far
more attractive one than when
owner Joe Lacob hired Jackson
away from the ESPN/ABC broadcast
table in June 2011. The Warriors are
coming off a 51-win season and
consecutive playoff appearances for
the rst time in 20 years, and
theyve surrounded star Stephen
Curry with a talented young core.
Kerr became the hottest coaching
candidate on the market after Phil
Jackson started courting him to the
Knicks. Kerr also has close ties to
Lacob, his son, assistant GM Kirk
Warriors land Kerr
OAKLAND Luke Gregerson
made a bad mistake at the wrong
time against the wrong hitter.
Jose Abreu hit a three-run homer
in the eighth inning to help the
Chicago White Sox snap a four-
game losing streak with a 4-2 vic-
tory over the Oakland Athletics on
Wednesday.
You try to make him sh, which
he definitely does, Gregerson
said. I dont think it was really a
bad pitch. It was just something he
was ready for. He was looking for
it. Weve been doing it to him the
whole series, pound him in. It just
stayed up a little too much. Any
other day it could be a ground out
to third base, we get a double
play.
John Jaso and Josh Donaldson
hit solo homers off Andre Rienzo
for the Athletics, who were in line
for a season-best seventh straight
victory before the bullpen melt-
down in the eighth cost Tommy
Milone a chance at a win.
Beckham and Conor Gillaspie
started the rally with one-out sin-
gles against Fernando Abad (0-1),
and Abreu greeted Luke Gregerson
with a no-doubt drive to left eld
for his 15th home run of the sea-
son.
Wed been pitching him in all
day, manager Bob Melvin said.
Just left one over the middle of
the plate.
Abreu, a rookie slugger from
Cuba, is the fourth player in major
league history to hit 15 homers in
his rst 42 games, joining Wally
Berger, Kevin Maas and Wally
Joyner.
He has ridiculous power,
Gillaspie said. When he gets the
ball up in the air like that its
Chicago ends

SAN FRANCISCO Gregor Blanco sup-
plied the speed. Hunter Pence, Michael Morse
and Brandon Crawford provided the pop. And on
a warm, windless afternoon along the bay,
AT&TPark played awfully small for the Giants.
Pence, Morse and Crawford homered as
Blanco accomplished a rare feat on the bases,
powering San Francisco past the Atlanta Braves
10-4 on Wednesday.
Its always fun to score a lot of runs,
Crawford said.
Blanco became the fourth player for San
Francisco to steal three bases and score three
runs in a game. Bobby Bonds, Kevin Mitchell
and Darren Lewis are the others.
He wreaked havoc, Giants manager Bruce
Bochy said.Blanco, best known for his defense
during the 2012 World Series, had struggled
most of the season. But with center elder Angel
Pagan given a day off to rest his sore right knee,
Blanco got back to doing what he does best:
getting on base and being aggressive.
Thats the kind of player I am. Thats how I
can be every single day, said Blanco, who sin-
gled and walked twice from the leadoff spot. I
just was out of my game a little bit and I just
reminded myself, This is who you are. This is
the kind of player you should be.
The scoring surge gave Madison Bumgarner
(5-3) more than enough room for error.
Bumgarner allowed four runs and ve hits in ve
innings, striking out ve and walking one.
Three relievers kept the Braves scoreless over
the nal four innings as the Giants continued to
dominate the matchup of NL division leaders.
San Francisco nished 5-1 against Atlanta this
season.
The offense picked me up today big time,
Bumgarner said.
Julio Teheran (2-3) lasted only 3 1-3 innings
for the Braves. He gave up ve runs four
earned and seven hits in his second loss to
the Giants this season.
I had a hard time with my grip here and in Los
Angeles, Teheran said. I was trying to nd a
way to get through it. Its not an excuse. Its this
type of weather. I had a hard time.
The Giants totaled 15 hits and six walks in an
all-around display of offense.
Pence nished with four hits and three RBIs,
Crawford collected three hits and three RBIs,
and Morse tied the injured Brandon Belt for the
team lead with nine home runs.
Freddie Freeman and Chris Johnson hit RBI
doubles to give the Braves a 2-0 lead in the rst.
The Giants responded in the bottom half, scor-
ing three runs, sending nine batters to the plate
and forcing Teheran to throw 41 pitches.
Blanco extended San Franciscos lead to 4-2
when he walked leading off the second, stole
second and third and scored after catcher Evan
Gattis sailed his throw to third into left eld.
The Braves had three extra-base hits in a two-
run fourth capped by Andrelton Simmonstying
two-out triple just past the glove of a diving
Blanco in right-center.

SAN ANTONIO Danny Green and Kawhi
Leonard each scored 22 points, and the San
Antonio Spurs overcame an injury to Tony
Parker to close out the Western Conference
seminals with a 104-82 victory over the
Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday night.
Patty Mills scored 18 points and Tim
Duncan had 16 points and eight rebounds for
San Antonio, which had four blowout victo-
ries in the ve-game series.
Its the third straight conference nals
appearance for San Antonio, which lost a
heartbreaking seven-game series to the
Miami Heat in last seasons NBAFinals.
San Antonio, which had the NBAs best
record, will await the winner of the series
between Oklahoma City and the Los Angeles
Clippers. The Thunder have a 3-2
lead.LaMarcus Aldridge had 21 points for
Portland, while Damian Lillard added 17
points and 10 assists.
The Trail Blazers bench contributed only
seven points compared to 40 by the Spurs
reserves.
After playing with various injuries
throughout last postseason, the Spurs had
been healthy in these playoffs until
Wednesday.
Parker, who missed 13 games during the
regular season, exited in the rst half with
tightness in his left hamstring.
After returning to the court with 9:46
remaining in the second quarter, Parker left
the game exactly a minute later. He headed
back to the locker room followed closely by
San Antonio general manager R.C. Buford
and team physician, Dr. Paul Saenz.
Parker was scoreless in 10 minutes, miss-
ing his only two shots as Portland pushed to
keep the All-Star point guard out of the
paint.
Manu Ginobili handled most of the ball-
handling duties with Parker out.
Even with Parker slowed, the Spurs still
had another good start thanks to their hustle
on the boards.
Tiago Splitter had two offensive rebounds
in the opening 3 minutes. The Spurs, who
were averaging 9.3 offensive rebounds in the
postseason, had five in the first quarter
alone.
The Blazers went on a 9-0 run once Splitter
exited, with Aldridge beneting the most
from the big mans absence. He hit a pair of
jumpers over Boris Diaw for his rst points
of the game to spark the run.
Mills provided a huge spark even before
Parkers exit.The energetic Aussie sprinted
for a layup after tipping away C.J.
McCollums dribble in the backcourt. Apos-
session later, Mills blocked Lillards 3-
pointer, igniting a fast break that led to
Greens rst 3 of the game.
Green had the strongest effort of the post-
season, going 4 for 6 on 3s.
San Antonio had four 3s in the second quar-
ter, with Leonards second extending its lead
to 43-30 with 4:47 remaining in the half.
NOTES: Portland G Mo Williams (groin)
missed his third straight game. After scoring
six points on 3-for-11 shooting in the series
opener, Williams exited Game 2 after nine
minutes with a strained groin and has not
played since. . Meb Keezighi, the rst
American man to win the Boston Marathon
in 31 years, was in attendance. . Ginobili
slapped the scorers table twice in celebra-
tion after Greens jumper rattled in with 6
minutes remaining. Green has struggled
shooting throughout the postseason. ..
Mills rushed down the court to hit a 3-point-
er after receiving a push by Spurs assistant
coach Sean Marks after the diminutive guard
leapt into the teams bench to save a defen-
sive rebound. . Spurs coach Gregg Popovich
screamed at Duncan for not providing weak-
side help for Diaw on a dunk by Aldridge with
6 minutes left in the rst half. After initially
shaking his head and frowning at Popovich,
Duncan raised his hand, nodded his head and
said "My fault. My fault." Duncan later
pointed to the sky after making a straight-
away, 18-foot jumper with 5:24 remaining
in the third quarter.
Spurs back in Western Conference finals
MIAMI LeBron James leaped onto a
courtside table as the postgame celebration
was starting, thumped his chest and punched
the air.
Next stop: The Eastern Conference nals.
Again.James scored 29 points, Dwyane Wade
added 28 and Ray Allen delivered two huge
plays in the nal seconds as the Heat rallied to
beat the Brooklyn Nets 96-94 on Wednesday
night, winning the second-round matchup 4-1.
Its always been like that for us, James
said. Its never easy. Its never easy for us.
Sure looks easy, though. It was the 10th
straight series win for the two-time defending
NBAchampions.
When we met the rst day for prep we said
the No. 1 key, overwhelmingly the No. 1 key
in this series, was great mental stability, Heat
coach Erik Spoelstra said.
Thats what it was down the stretch ...
incredible focus.
Incredible defense, too, when it was needed
most.
Down by eight with less than ve minutes
left, the Heat forced Brooklyn into nine
straight missed shots while peeling off a 12-0
run to take the lead. Allens 3-pointer off an
assist by Mario Chalmers with 32 seconds
remaining was the go-ahead moment, and the
Heat wouldnt trail again.
Allen disrupted Joe Johnsons dribble on the
games nal play, James then swatted the
bouncing ball out of everyones reach, time
expired and the Heat advanced.
Give the Heat credit, Nets coach Jason
Kidd said. They were attacking there in the
fourth quarter. We were attacking. Both teams
were attacking. They made plays, they made
shots and we didnt.
Chris Bosh scored 16 and Allen nished
with 13 for Miami. Johnson had 34 points,
Paul Pierce scored 19 and Deron Williams had
17 for the Nets.
Its the sixth trip to the East title series in
the last 10 seasons for Miami, which is bid-
ding for a fourth straight trip to the NBAFinals
something only the Lakers and Celtics fran-
chises have accomplished.
James is heading to the East nals for the
sixth time in eight seasons, the rst two of
those trips coming with Cleveland in 2007
and 2009.
The Heat will next face either fth-seeded
Washington or top-seeded Indiana. The Pacers
lead that series 3-2, one win away from setting
up a rematch with Miami that seemed like an
absolute certainty for much of the season.
Obviously, we thought this was a game we
should have won, Johnson said.
Brooklyn led 49-42 at the half, with Miami
missing 15 of its rst 16 tries from 3-point
range. The Nets closed the half on an 8-0 run
and the lone bright spot in the opening 24
minutes for Miami was Wade, who had 20
points more than any other two players to
that point combined on 7-for-12 shooting.
Heat advance to Eastern Conference finals
SPORTS 14
both teams as there were plenty of chances,
gutty pitching, some stellar defensive plays and
ultimately the boldest move you could possibly
nd in the game of baseball.
Neither starting pitcher gured in the deci-
sion, but M-As Matt McGarry and Aragons
Chad Franquez gave everything they had during
a game in which the temperature soared into the
high 90s. McGarry worked six innings, allow-
ing four runs on six hits, striking out nine. In
nearly 10 innings of play, McGarrys three
straight strikeouts in the top of the fth was the
only 1-2-3 inning of the game.
Franquez battled into the fth inning, but
could not hold a 4-2 lead. With Aragon up 4-2,
M-Aloaded the bases the bases and scored twice
in the fth to tie the score and chase Franquez.
While Franquez never looked comfortable on
the mound, he more than helped his cause by
picking off four M-A baserunners during his
time on the mound.
Chris Davis came in and did an excellent job
in relief of Franquez, pitching the same number
of innings as Franquez 4 1/3 but was ulti-
mately saddled with the loss.
A.J. Lemon ended up getting the win for the
Bears, working four innings, giving up four
hits and one run. He worked out of jams in every
inning he was on the mound.
Despite committing four errors on the day, it
was the Aragon defense that kept the teams
playing for nearly four hours. Twice it appeared
the Bears were poised to score the go-ahead or
winning run, and twice they were denied on stu-
pendous plays. In the bottom of the sixth, M-A
had runners on rst and second with one out.
Erik Amundson singled sharply to center and
Amoroso sent DeTrempe home.
But two perfect throws nailed DeTrempe at the
plate. First, Aragon center elder Brenden
Donnelly red a strike to cutoff man Carey, who
then red home to catcher Kyle Hamilton, who
swiped a tag on DeTrempe, as he tried to slide to
the outside of home plate. Astrikeout ended the
inning for the Bears.
In the bottom of the seventh, the Bears had
the winning run at third base with two outs and
Max Gardiner at the plate. Gardiner launched an
0-2 pitch deep into the right-center eld gap.
Donnelly got on his horse and as he approached
the fence the ball seemingly dropped over his
left shoulder and into his glove to end the
inning.
Aragon got on the scoreboard rst in the rst
inning on only one hit a single. Franquez led
off the game with a single up the middle, went to
second on a wild pitch, took third on a passed
ball and scored on a McGarry balk.
M-Acame right back with a pair of runs in the
bottom of the inning. Amundson led off with a
double and went to third when Aragon failed to
cleanly handle a sacrice bunt. Jordan Longs
elders choice plated Amundson and Brett
Moriarity followed with an RBI single to put M-
Aup 2-1.
Aragon tied the score in top of the second
when Matt Foppiano, who had singled with one
out, ended up scoring on the rst of two
Donnelly RBIs on the game.
The Dons took a 4-2 lead with a pair of runs in
the fourth, with Walling driving in the rst of
his two RBIs and Donnelly had his second RBI
in as many innings.
M-A came up empty in the third and fourth
innings before tying the game in the fth with
Moriarity and driving in a run on a grounder and
a Daniel Kollar-Gasiewski bases-loaded walk.
Both teams had plenty of opportunities to
take the lead, but each time the pitchers worked
out of trouble until the 10th when all hell
broke loose.
For this team, especially, Im really glad
they battled, Amoroso said. They put pressure
on Aragon and never gave up.
In other PAL tournament action, Ocean
Division champion Capuchino upset top-seed-
ed Carlmont, 5-3. The Mustangs will travel to
No. 4 Menlo School Thursday, which beat Half
Moon Bay 5-4 with a walkoff run in the bottom
of the seventh.

Lacob, and Warriors President Rick Welts,
who worked in Phoenixs front ofce during
Kerrs time as Suns general manager.
Given the tension that built between
Jackson and Warriors management last sea-
son and the back-and-forth that played
out between them in the media after Jackson
was dismissed having an established rela-
tionship with Kerr was a big reason Lacob
wanted him as coach.
Lacob lauded Kerr as a candidate last week
and defended the decision to change coaches
which has been debated at great lengths in
the basketball-united Bay Area. He compared
the decision to how he built his fortune as a
venture capitalist in Silicon Valley.
Lacob said theres a different person to lead
a business at different stages of development,
and the Warriors have gone from a startup
company to an organization looking to max-
imize its output.
Or in this case win an NBA champi-
onship, he said. And we just felt overall we
needed a different person to go forward and get
to the next level.
And while Kerr has no coaching experience,
he played 15 seasons and also similar to
Mark Jackson has been around some of the
most successful sideline leaders.
Kerr has credited Phil Jackson and Tex
Winter for most of his basketball knowledge.
Winter taught the triangle offense which
Kerr would not commit to running with the
Warriors and was a longtime assistant for
Jackson, who used the system to win an NBA-
record 11 championships as a coach of the
Bulls and Lakers.
Golden State also spoke with former
Orlando Magic and Miami Heat coach Stan
Van Gundy during its search. Van Gundy agreed
to a $35 million, ve-year deal with Detroit
on Tuesday after the Pistons also gave him
control of basketball operations some-
thing the Warriors wouldnt do with general
manager Bob Myers and Kirk Lacob in place.
The Warriors met with Kerr again on
Tuesday night in Oklahoma City, where Kerr
was calling the Thunder-Clippers game. And
they apparently made a big enough impres-
sion and contract offer to land the man
they wanted all along.

TRANSACTIONS
going to be tough for it not to
leave. Hats off to him. The guy
made a mistake and he took advan-
tage of it.
Gordon Beckham homered on
the rst pitch of the game for the
White Sox, who rallied against
Oaklands bullpen to end a seven-
game losing streak at the
Coliseum.
Ronald Belisario (2-3) got four
outs for the win and Matt
Lindstrom pitched the ninth for
his sixth save in nine chances.
Milone was in danger of losing
his spot in the rotation before
pitching eight scoreless innings
against Washington last Friday.
He followed that up with another
strong performance, allowing one
run and ve hits in six innings.
But he ended up with a no-decision
because of Chicagos late rally.
Other than really just the rst
batter of the game, he was effective
against a lineup of mostly right-
handed hitters, Melvin said.
Pitched in very well again, which
has really been key for him the last
two games.
The bullpen has been the one
spotty area so far for the As, with
eight of the teams 16 losses being
credited to the relievers.
The teams traded leadoff home
runs with Beckham going deep for
his second career leadoff homer
and Jaso answering with a drive on
a 2-0 pitch from Rienzo for his
third.
Oakland went ahead when
Donaldson led off the fourth with
his ninth homer, a day after get his
rst day off of the season.

classic movie Stripes, lighten up, Giants
fans. Posey is ne. He is still one of the
best catchers in the Big Leagues, despite
one missed play in one of 162 games. He
may eventually move to another position
but, for the foreseeable future, he is the
Giants backstop, so Giants fans will sim-
ply have to live with the subpar play of
their starting catcher who, by the way, is
a two-time World Series champion and Most
Valuable Player recipient.
Have Giants fans forgotten about that?

The proliferation of body armor on Major
League Baseball players continue to grow
and it is extending beyond the batters
box.
At rst, it was a soccer-style shin guard on
the lower part of the leg. That morphed into
a catcher-style shin guard. What started as a
simple pad to protect the elbow has evolved
into a hockey-style arm and elbow guard.
Now there are mittens on the basepaths.
Blame the Los Angeles Dodgers for this lat-
est craze after a couple of their players had
their hands/ngers stepped on or sprained
diving back into bags. Someone designed
what looks like mittens to prevent such
injuries from happening.
You know what they remind me of?
Newborn babies. Any new parent knows one
of the biggest issues with babies is their
tendency to scratch their faces with their
tiny, razor-sharp fingernails. To prevent
scratches from happening, parents will put
tiny, little mittens on their babys hands to
prevent the scratching.
Whatever happened to clutching a pair of
batting gloves to prevent nger injuries
from happening? The base-running mittens
are just a bad look.

Former Menlo School wide receiver Jerry
Rice Jr. has spent his entire playing career
being compared to his Hall of Fame father,
Jerry Rice.
Now, the younger Rice will get a chance
to make a name for himself. It is being
reported by the Baltimore Sun that Rice Jr.
has received an invitation to try out with the
Baltimore Ravens during rookie minicamp
beginning Friday.
After a solid two varsity seasons at
Menlo, Rice Jr. s college career was not one
to write home about. He walked on at UCLA
and caught nine passes in three seasons. He
transferred to UNLV for his nal season of
eligibility and caught 11 passes for 86
yards, with his lone collegiate touchdown
coming in the Heart of Dallas Bowl game at
the end of the 2013 season.
Rice Jr. has a long-shot chance of hook-
ing on with the Ravens, but at least he has a
shot and he can offer what a lot of fringe
players do not versatility. Rice Jr. was
the ultimate Swiss Army knife in his two
varsity seasons for the Knights, running,
catching and even throwing the ball. In
2007 and 2008, Rice Jr. caught 45 balls for
707 yards and ve touchdowns.
But he also rushed for average of 7.8
yards, gaining 425 yards and eight TDs on
56 carries. He was 9 for 12 passing for 108
yards and averaged 30 yards on kickoff
returns.
Those are good numbers for a football
player coming out of the Peninsula Athletic
League, but a 4.68 40-yard dash time and a
5-8 frame does not bode well in the NFL. But
all he needs to do is look south to Redwood
City to see another undersized receiver who
has made it big in the NFL Woodsides
Julian Edelman, who recently signed a big
contract with the New England Patriots.
Is Rice Jr. in Edelmans league? Maybe.
Maybe not. But much like Edelman, all Rice
Jr. wants is a chance to prove himself. He
now has that. Now its up to him to show the
Ravens he has what it takes to make a NFL
team.

49ers stadium to
host Pac-12 title game
SAN FRANCISCO The Pac-12
Conference will announce at a news confer-
ence Thursday that it is moving the league
championship game to the San Francisco
49ers new stadium in Santa Clara, a person
familiar with the decision said.
The person spoke on condition of
anonymity to The Associated Press on
Wednesday because the ofcial announce-
ment is pending. Pac-12 Commissioner
Larry Scott, 49ers CEO Jed York and team
President Paraag Marathe are scheduled to
unveil additional details for the conference's
championship game at Levis Stadium on
Thursday.
Scott said last week that the league was
mulling whether to move its championship
game to the 68,500-seat, $1.2 billion stadi-
um that opens this year. The rst three con-
ference championship games have been held
in the stadium of the division champion
with the best conference record Oregon in
2011, Stanford in 2012 and Arizona State
last year.
Were not dissatisfied with what we
have, Scott said during a break at the con-
ferences meetings in Phoenix last week.
But there are some unique opportunities,
particularly this Levis opportunity.

Plant smart, and pay attention to the soil.
Your garden is only as good as your soil,
says David Salman, chief horticulturist at
High Country Gardens, a Santa Fe, N.M.,
catalog that specializes in native and low-
water plants.
Find out what nutrients your soil has
and what its missing with a soil test,
available through local cooperative exten-
sion ofces at a nominal fee (home soil-test
kits are less reliable, according to the
Colorado State University Extension).
Encourage plant health by fertilizing with
natural, organic fertilizers, which include
fish emulsion and liquid seaweed, says
Salman. Limit the use of chemical fertilizers
because they dont help build the soil.
You will have more nutritionally com-
plete vegetables if you have healthy soil,
he promises.
One trick Salmon recommends, especially
for gardeners living in new housing devel-
opments, is adding a soil inoculant called
mycorrhiza, a benecial fungi. Its found
naturally in healthy soil, but often needs to
be added to a new garden.
New gardens in new subdivisions, their
soil is scraped off as part of construction,
says Salman. You need to put benecial
fungi back in.
Peas, beans and soybeans could benet
from legume inoculants, which are species-
specic (a soybean inoculant cannot be used
to improve peas growth). Read product
labels carefully or ask your gardening center
for assistance.
Your beans will do OK (without it), but if
you really want to crank out the beans, you
can do that with the inoculant, says
Salman. Its kind of a grandmas secret t o
growing great beans.
Plants that can offer high yields with low
watering include leafy vegetables such as
kale, lettuce and spinach; beans, snow peas
and sugar snap peas; and some varieties of
cucumbers and squash, he says. Plant vining
beans and peas if you have space or can grow
them up a fence or trellis; plant bush beans
and peas in large pots if space is limited.
Tips for high yields in a small or thirsty garden
Encourage plant health by fertilizing with natural,organic fertilizers,which include sh emulsion
and liquid seaweed.

the block and I really like San Mateo. But if
my lease goes up, I may have to do that,
Zerpa said, adding he is happy with the
progress.
Its a lot of changing, its slowly, but I
think now the people on the block realize if
we can x our business, if we work together,
were going to have the block more clean
and we can have more customers and we can
bring more people from the downtown as
well as be able to say we are downtown San
Mateo too, Zerpa said.
Zerpa said the police starting to regularly
patrol North B Street helped to prevent peo-
ple from drinking and loitering on the
streets and hes noticed people are driving
safer now too.
Marcus Clarke, the citys economic devel-
opment director, said the number of police
calls in the area have dramatically decreased
and North B Street is on its way to becom-
ing more vibrant.
I think its going great. For any healthy
corridor, it needs to be clean and safe. Thats
the baseline, so weve been working on
those measures, Clarke said.
Ameeting was held last Friday with North
B Street property owners, business owners
and community members to discuss and gen-
erate recommendations the city can help ful-
ll, said Thomassina Russaw, a director with
the Peninsula Conict Resolution Center,
who is assisting to mediate the project.
Creating an identity for the area, ramping
up police presence to discourage public
drunkenness and illegal U-turns, installing
more suitable trash cans for businesses and
the public, planting owers and cleaning
the streets were goals generated through the
meeting, Russaw said.
Initially, many North B Street merchants
and neighbors were hesitant to get involved
for fear of being in trouble or were suspi-
cious of the citys intentions because they
had never been paid much attention, Russaw
said.
I think the most important part of the
project has been accomplished, which was
bringing the merchants to the table and
having them talk about what they wanted to
see and talk about the challenges and to be
able to express themselves and their experi-
ence with being on North B and the city has
been great in their response to them. They
havent withheld anything and theyve been
very transparent, Russaw said.
The citys intentions are not for this to be
a gentrication project, but more of a busi-
ness retention program, Clarke said. The
city has also begun to offer a business
development package to support the ten-
ants with their leases, Clarke said.
Zerpa said many North B Street tenants
are on a month-to-month lease and hes
afraid of what happened to Ristorante
Capellini just south of the North B Street
area.
Capellini was an Italian restaurant that
had been on the corner of B Street and
Baldwin Avenue for 24 years before closing
two months ago after the rent was allegedly
increased.
Russaw said that was brought up at the last
meeting and city ofcials share those con-
cerns.
If there was any inclination that gentri-
cation would take place, the project would-
nt go forward, Russaw said.
A cleanup day will take place June 7,
which could include washing the streets and
any painting that may need to be done,
Russaw said. Its especially important to
continue with the momentum as for the rst
time, North B Street will host SummerFest
on June 21 and 22, she added.
Salvador Barrera and his wife own
Paleteria La Barca, a specialty store and ice
cream parlor on North B Street.
Barrera said the streets are cleaner, safer,
more family friendly and hes thankful the
city has shown an interest. Barrera said he
hopes North B Street will begin to feel more
connected to downtown.
What we want, is all the white people,
the Chinese people, all kinds of people to
come to North B Street, Barrera said.
Right now its Hispanic people, but we
want everybody. We want to be a family
with everybody.

Tuesday.
In summary, theres nothing startling in
the revise, he said.
County ofcials are still parsing out how
details of the governors May budget revise
like increased spending for Medi-Cal and
more trial courts funding impact local
departments and coffers but say there are
denite bright spots.
The proposed $156.2 billion budget
includes $7.9 million for the county and its
cities and special districts to ll the short-
fall known as the vehicle triple ip in
which the state takes local funds to x its
own gap. Of that, $2 million goes to the
county, Pine said.
The governors extra money for drought
impacts including funds for Cal Fire is also
encouraging, he said.
The county doesnt know yet how much it
will actually receive but with its open space
and re risks every little bit will help,
Pine said.
The budget plan proposed by Brown
Tuesday will likely by tweaked and mas-
saged before nal approval in June but, at
rst blush, the high-level numbers bandied
about are expected to trickle down positive-
ly to local needs.
One example is Browns plan to spend
extra money on the states Medi-Cal pro-
gram to cover the 1.4 million more people
who signed up under the Affordable Care
Act. Again, Pine said the county brass does-
nt yet have a handle on the denite local
impact but it appears to be a good thing.
Pine also lauded the revise for increasing
appropriations to the courts.
The state courts, stinging from ve years
of unprecedented cuts totaling more than $1
billion, are proposed to receive $160 mil-
lion rather than the $100 million
announced in January. The plan looks good
on the surface but will only cover employ-
ee benet increases and restoration of a
fraction of services, said John Fitton, San
Mateo County Superior Court executive
ofcer.
The money earmarked for the courts in the
revise doesnt even come close to making
up the losses, Fitton said.
Locally, the Superior Court has lost about
34 percent of its workforce, or 130 posi-
tions, and tightened its belt by consolidat-
ing courts and cutting clerk counter and
phone hours.
The May revise as proposed could mean
$600,000 to $700,000 more for the local
courts which will allow adding back ve to
six line staff positions and incrementally
restoring services, Fitton said.
The May revise also bodes well for
employees raises. In March, the court
announced that, under a contract agree-
ment reached with Service Employees
International Union workers, they will
get a 2 percent pay increase and another 1
percent contingent on the governors
budget restoring at least $150 million in
funding.
In his revise, Brown urged public agen-
cies to nd greater efciencies which Fitton
said he appreciates but that the countys
judicial system has managed its resources
to be as lean and productive as it can be.
We understand the realities of the state
and work hard to do our fair share, he said.
Fitton encourages the public to contact
their legislators to lobby for increased
funding and remind them that justice
remains at risk especially for those without
nancial means.

Crown imperial comes and goes as it pleases,often in a ckle
or unpredictable manner.
By Lee Reich
Crown imperial is exiting the garden after another fabulous
spring show. The orange blossoms are fading, wilting and
will soon drop. Then the rest of the plant will begin to dis-
solve back into the ground.
As bets nobility, crown imperial comes and goes as it
pleases, often in a ckle or unpredictable manner. Mine was
planted over 20 years ago, and for its rst half-dozen years
refused to show more than just leaves.
The owers were worth the wait. Eventually, a leafy stalk
emerged from the center of the ground-level whorl of leaves,
the stalk capped with a crown: a tuft of leaves, below which
hung a ring of nodding, orange blossoms. Ateardrop of nec-
tar poised at the end of each petal.
HIS MAJESTY MOVES
After a couple years of enjoying the owers, I decided that
the site was not betting this royal plant. So I dug the bulb
out from the back corner of my vegetable garden and moved
it to a more prominent place beneath a cherry tree.
His Majesty evidently was displeased with the move, for he
never emerged at his new location. I dont know if he scoot-
ed underground the 30 feet back to the original site or what,
but he has faithfully kept up his royal appearances there ever
since.
(Crown imperial is a bulb that makes offsets. My plants
odd behavior could be explained by my having dug up a large
offset and inadvertently left the mother bulb or another large
offset in place. I also, then, must have made some mistake in
planting the offset, even though I tried to cater to His
Highness needs with well-drained soil, rich in humus, and a
topping of mulch. Some gardeners suggest planting the bulb
on its side so that water does not collect on top of the bulb,
rotting it.)
Afew summers ago, I decided to expand the royal family. As
soon as the leaves and stem disappeared, I carefully dug up the
softball-size bulb and pulled off a few outer layers of scales.
MULTIPLYING THE BULB
Crown imperial has naked scales, like lilies, which simi-
larly are susceptible to damage and drying out. The scales
went into a plastic bag along with plenty of moist peat and
perlite, and then sat in a warm room for a month or two while
bulblets formed at the base of each scale. After that, I moved
the bags to the refrigerator for another two months, where
they would get the cool conditions needed before growth
could begin. Once they were out of the refrigerator, I potted up
the bulblets and waited for spring. Then out they went into
the garden.
You might think a lot of coddling was required to bring up
this royal family. Given the price of crown imperial bulbs
over $10 each! nurseries evidently do consider this to be
royal treatment.
But mostly what I supplied was patience, which has now
rewarded me with a regal line of crown imperials in a bed
above a rock wall, and another one sharing a bed with redcur-
rant bushes. The plants generally need a year of growth in the
ground after planting before theyve built up sufcient ener-
gy reserves to ower.
The patriarch of my family of crown imperials, my original
plant, owers as gloriously every spring as any other, appar-
ently unfazed by occasionally having a few bulb scales
removed and having to share its domain with numerous heirs.
One caution if your interest has been kindled in growing,
perhaps propagating, crown imperial: His Highness does
emit an odor that offends some gardeners, an odor similar to
skunk. The aroma is mild, though, and pleasing to many
noses.
Crown imperial can add majesty to a garden

down with a family and want to live in
smaller apartments, Talansky said.
Station Park Green is aiming to be eco-
friendly with an integrated storm water
management system, bike paths,
drought-tolerant plants and adhering to
the California Green Building
Standards Code, Talansky said. It also
plans on encouraging a car share pro-
gram and selling reduced rate train
passes for residents, he added.
The commissioners were excited to
see plans moving forward with visions
of keeping more cars off the street, pro-
viding an inviting park system, gener-
ating much-needed housing and hiring
local construction workers at prevail-
ing wages. But, like the public, plan-
ning commissioners wanted to ensure
commuters could walk through the park
between the train station and Delaware
Street and that the rental apartments
remain family-friendly.
Planning Commission Chair
Christopher Massey and Planning
Commissioner Josh Hugg said EBL&S
should consider having more two- and
three-bedroom units.
Im a little concerned about the unit
mix thats going into this. Part of the
assumption is that were looking at
young couples without kids. I think
given the dynamics of the Bay Area
these areas also have to continue to
support the entire arc of a growing fam-
ily, Hugg said.
Hugg said he would like to see part of
the required 90 below-market rate units
to be the larger apartments to support
low-income families.
The residential buildings will sur-
round a large private park that is pub-
licly accessible and most of the com-
missioners felt it helped serve as an
attractive connection from the train
station to Delaware Street. Planning
Commissioner Dianne Whitaker said
she was disappointed all the retail was
condensed on one corner at Concar
Drive and that shed like to see the
retail spread throughout the site so it
will be more interesting for those who
walk through.
Some members of the public were
pleased by the idea of a sustainable
project while others were concerned
with trafc and parking impacts and
wanted more assurance that the project
would remain eco-friendly.
Jessica Burtis, a young mom who
lives nearby, said she likes that the
project is about promoting community
and being conscious of the environ-
ment, but she wants to ensure the open
spaces like the park are family friendly
and that the nearby 19th Avenue/Park
neighborhood doesnt turn into a park-
ing lot for visitors. Massey agreed and
said he wanted to see parking provi-
sions for visitors.
San Mateo resident Kara Cox said
shes concerned the eco-friendly pro-
posals are entirely voluntary and the
project isnt required to comply.
Interim Public Works Director Ray
Towne said those details will be out-
lined in the nal agreement. Other sug-
gestions were solar panels or rooftop
gardens.
Ben Toy, president of the San Mateo
United Homeowners Association, said
he believes this kind of development
that encourages biking and public tran-
sit will help reduce the neighbors con-
cerns about trafc and parking.
[Were] automotive centric every-
thing and parking and trafc is con-
stantly the throttle for this type of for-
ward thinking, Toy said. The people
that are going to be moving into the
city are different types of people.
Theyre typically at a young age, they
dont want to mow lawns, they want to
live in apartments.
Plans to redevelop the site of Kmart
and Michaels Arts and Crafts, which
will be moving to El Camino Real,
were initially delayed due to nancing.
In January 2011, the City Council
approved a Development Agreement,
Specic Plan and Design Guidelines on
the condition of providing public ben-
ets. In turn, EBL&S paid $1.7 million
to the city, which went in part to mak-
ing improvements on Delaware Street.
Although EBL&S owns the property,
it may choose to have Essex Property
and Trust build it, Talansky said. Essex
has considered building an eight-story
apartment complex in downtown and
recently nished the pre-application
process.
Massey said he was pleased to see the
new plans and he hopes this second go-
around, it will come to fruition.
What I like best about the new plan,
is it looks as though the new plan will
be built, Massey said. Whatever the
merit for the original plans were, the
original plan [probably] wasnt going
to happen.
The next step is for EBL&S to submit
a formal application, which would be
reviewed multiple times, have public
hearings and will go in front of the
Planning Commission once again.

PROPOSAL
Smoking is prohibited within 20 feet
from any district or college doorway,
entrance to an interior area or fresh air
intake vent.
Each college president, in conjunc-
tion with the College Council, has the
discretion to set campus smoking reg-
ulations as long as smoking is pro-
hibited within a distance of at least 20
feet from any district or college door-
way, entrance to an interior area or
fresh air intake vent. E-cigarettes
would just be added to the smoking
policy restrictions, according to the
staff report.
It restricts them (e-cigarettes) to
stay so far away from the buildings
and helps the nonsmokers, said
board President Karen Schwarz.
Recently, South San Francisco
banned the use of e-cigarettes in city
spaces while ofcials also work on
gathering information on the rami-
cations of allowing e-cigarette-cen-
tered businesses into the city.
Smoking an e-cigarette is now pro-
hibited in city buildings; city-owned
parking structures; city vehicles;
parks and recreation areas zoned for
that purpose; within 20 feet of a main
exit, entrance or operable window of
any city facility or building; city-
owned parking lots and open-air pub-
lic places on city-owned property.
The restriction of sales is another
piece of some of the precautionary
measures being taken with regard to e-
cigarettes. South San Francisco cur-
rently has a moratorium on the estab-
lishment of e-cigarette lounges,
hookah bars and smoking lounges,
fearing e-cigarettes could be as harm-
ful as cigarettes. It would also apply to
retailers that devote more than 15 per-
cent of their total oor area, or more
than a 2-by-4-foot area of shelf space,
to e-cigarette sales, and wouldnt
apply to retailers that sell e-cigarettes
as a smaller component of their busi-
nesses. Until there are more federal
guidelines and scientic research, the
city will hold off on allowing busi-
nesses that predominately carry e-cig-
arettes to open in the city, according
to a staff report.
On a broader level, U.S. Rep. Jackie
Speier, D-San Mateo, recently called
on Congress to investigate the health
effects of e-cigarettes and the indus-
trys presence in the marketplace.

PEARLS BEFORE SWINE
GET FUZZY
THURSDAY, MAY 15, 2014
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Confusion, mistakes
and a lack of control could be problems for you
today. Remain diligent at your workplace despite
the conditions. Certain relationships are likely to be
difcult. Avoid restrictions.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You will capture the
attention of your superiors. Show how much of a
team player you can be. Make relevant suggestions
that are sure to improve the workplace.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Someone close to you
may be deceptive. Dont let your anger get the better
of you. Try to pinpoint the source of the problem and
work it out together. Honesty is the best policy.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You will have to make
some compromises to stay in the good graces of your
colleagues today. Someone will feel that youve failed
to be attentive or caring. Make amends.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Children and loved
ones should be included in your plans. Find
something physical to participate in. Sports events
or other outdoor activities will provide a much-
needed diversion.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Take a good look around
and consider what positive adjustments you can
make to your home. Get feedback from friends and
family. Its time to reorganize or recycle any unused
or unwanted possessions.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Proceed with caution
when using mechanical or electrical devices. Youll
encounter problems if you take a shortcut. You will get
the results you want by being methodical and precise.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Consider starting
a home-based business. Your ideas are good, but
dont share them until you have everything in place.
Someone will steal your deal if you arent careful.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Emphasize your
best traits when dealing with superiors. You will
be well- equipped for a promotion if you develop
a closer rapport with those in a position to further
your interests.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) You need to make
big personal decisions without getting flustered. It
may not be as difficult as you imagine, although you
may need to do some extra research to discover the
right course of action.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Expand your circle of
friends. Stimulate your curiosity by visiting different
locations. Make the most of an opportunity to explore
interesting people, places and pastimes.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Someone may feel left
out if you are too busy with work. Take time to listen
and offer suggestions. Equitably dividing your time
between work and home will lead to success.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Anthony C. Allison
Case Number: 124490
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Anthony C. Allison. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by El-
sie Mebel Eugui in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Elsie
Mebel Eugui be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The Petiton requests that the decedents
will and codicils, if any, be admitted for
probate. The will and any codicils are
available for examination in the file kept
by the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
