Despite concerns about the business models of new car
sharing companies, the South San Francisco City Council
did not proceed with a moratorium to prohibit such services
west of Highway 101 the same area where FlightCar
recently announced it is opening its new facility.
The whole issue were trying to determine is what car
sharing is, said Vice Mayor Richard Garbarino. The mora-
torium was a moot point since they (FlightCar) already have
a license. This councilmember doesnt want a proliferation
of these operations in the city.
The moratorium was intended to give the city time to
make sure FlightCar had done everything according to

San Carlos transportation of-
cials on Tuesday will be talking
about the possibility of installing
lower-level electric vehicle charg-
ing stations on Laurel Street and,
if enough are red up in favor of
the idea, consider recommending
that the City Council take up the
idea.
Theres been quite a bit of inter-
est even as far back as a year ago
when the council was talking
about Wheeler Plaza. One of the
things we talked about for the new
parking structure was the ability
to require charging stations, said
Public Works Director Jay Walter.
The state dissolution of redevel-
opment agencies put that project
on hold but didnt dampen enthusi-
asm for giving electric cars a place
to juice up.
Walter said the city looked at its
own parking lots but learned from
Pacic Gas and Electric that the
power poles didnt have the proper
transformer for that purpose.
Back in November, the
Transportation and Circulation
Commission named EVstations as
a priority item for 2014 and in
February it learned of California
Energy Commission grant funds
to buy and maintain the equip-
ment.
San Carlos met the minimum
requirements but couldnt meet the
required 25 percent local match
needed to apply. Undeterred, the
city staff continued looking for
possible locations to be ready
when funding opportunities came
to fruition.
Charging stations are designat-
ed by levels one through three and

South City decides against car

Incumbent Assemblyman Kevin
Mullin will one again face off with the
same Republican he bested two years
ago as well as a young candidate who
is running for ofce for the rst time
in the June 3 primary election.
Mullin, D-South San Francisco, is
just nishing his rst term represent-
ing the 22nd District and said hes
proud seven of his bills were signed
into law and to be working closely
with Gov. Jerry Brown on the upcom-
ing budget.
Mark Gilham, a Redwood City
Republican who served in the military
but now runs a pro-
duction company,
ran against Mullin
in 2012. Gilham
said California
government needs
serious reform if it
wants to be com-
petitive against
other states.
Gilham said a 20
percent spending
cut across the board would help
resolve the unbalanced budget. He also
said unfunded liabilities make him
think that outside of law enforcement,
all public employees should get their
own 401(k) retirement plans.
The issues arent being addressed,
theyre just kicking the can down the
road. If we dont make those hard
choices now, we will later and we
wont have the choice, Gilham said.

Testing inconclusive,
suspected bobcat returned
STAFFORD, N.J. Rockys
mother was 98 percent bobcat.
But because a DNA test couldnt
determine the 38-pound felines
fathers lineage, a judge ruled
Friday that the runaway cat be
returned to a New Jersey woman.
Municipal Court Judge Damian
Murray ruled that Ginny Fine can
regain custody of Rocky after a
mitochondrial DNA test found that
the cats mother was 98 percent
bobcat, but couldnt determine its
fathers lineage, the Asbury Park
Press reported .
Mitochondrial DNA is inherited
solely from the mother.
The bottom line is, Rocky goes
home, Murray said.
Fine, who has maintained that
Rocky is a hybrid bobcat and Maine
coon, said she was shocked by the
ruling.
I dont even know what to say. I
was not expecting that, she said
outside of court.
She would have needed a special
permit from the state Department of
Environmental Protection to get
Rocky back if it was determined to
be a purebred bobcat. The permit is
only issued for zoos, animal
exhibitors, for scientific purposes
or for agencies that own animals
for advertising or acting, according
to the DEP.
Fine pleaded guilty to letting the
animal get loose and was fined
$1,000 after Rocky ran away from
her home for a second time in
March.
The cat was missing for 12 days,
leading police to hunt through the
woods. It was lured back on April 7
and has been at the Popcorn Park
Zoo in Lacey since then.
Murray ordered that the cat be
kept in an enclosure that will be
periodically inspected by the state.
Iowa city cites 74M-year-ago
meteor for well woes
MANSON, Iowa Asmall central
Iowa city is having a big problem
drilling a new well, and the reason
could date back millions of years.
Manson has failed three times to
drill for a new steady water supply.
The difficulty apparently is due to a
meteor that struck an estimated 74
million years ago, creating what is
known as the Manson impact
crater. Geologists believe the mete-
or caused a catastrophic explosion
that burned up everything within
130 miles, although there now is
no evidence of the impact.
Underground, however, remnants
of the meteor remain, and they are
causing headaches for drill engi-
neers, according to the Fort Dodge
Messenger.
To improve the chances of suc-
cess in the citys fourth drilling
attempt, the city hired Aquetech
Innovation, a company in nearby
Fort Dodge that uses satellite
imagery to determine well sites.
When the meteor hit, it blew out
all the natural formations, said
Lanny Rosenquist, a geologist and
owner of Aquetech. It destroyed all
the natural geology. Over in Fort
Dodge you get certain layers; over
here you dont hit those layers.
Everythings mixed up.
Rosenquist said satellite imagery
shows markers that can indicate
aquifers.
After an analysis, the company
started drilling near an auto parts
store. If that spot doesnt work,
there are two other options on
opposite ends of town.
Mayor Dave George said it should
be clear by Wednesday if current
drilling has succeeded.
Although the meteor created an
inconvenience for the city of 1,700
people some 80 miles northwest of
Des Moines, George contends it
somehow improved the waters
taste by removing minerals that
make nearby well water harder.
Manson has naturally soft
water, George said. Its a little
harder to get to, but its worth it.

T
he population of San Mateo
County was 77,400 in 1930. By
1940, it had increased by 44 per-
cent to 111,800 people with no end in
sight to the increase. San Mateos popu-
lation was 19,403 in 1940.
Although many housing tracts had been
proposed in San Mateo since the 1860s,
most had not offered enough inducement
to be called big successes in new home
construction. Early on, a person was
induced to come to San Mateo and look at
a number of undeveloped lots. If he
bought one or two, he then had to find an
architect to design a house, and finally
the buyer hired someone to build the
home, or he built it himself.
The Depression stopped many banks
from making construction loans. The
houses were being built with few frills
and on a low budget. No mortgage was
taken out. The Depression made lot buy-
ers work with a pay-as-you-go attitude as
money was tight and very little of it was
floating around. A banker was the last
resort for a home owner. This attitude in
the society fostered a slow development
of the cities on the Peninsula.
David Bohannon was to change all of
this. In the 1930s, the federal govern-
ment began backing and guaranteeing
home loans through the Federal Housing
Administration. Bohannon began con-
structing houses in the early 1930s. He
purchased a 540-acre site, called Belle
Haven, in what is now East Palo Alto and
began the first of 1,305 units for low- to
moderate-income families. Costs of these
units were around $6,000.
He then purchased the St. Cyr estate in
the San Mateo area in the late 30s and he
set his sights on a project that was to
become the pattern of development on
the vast vacant properties still available
on the Peninsula.
The Burleigh H. Murray property south
of San Mateo was called Beresford.
Bohannon acquired 848 acres of Murray
property in 1940 and he began planning
its development. It called for monumental
scales of construction unheard of to this
time. He was to build a planned communi-
ty of 5,000 low rambling ranch-style
houses to be priced between $5,000 and
$6,000, well within the range of the aver-
age worker at that time. These would be
backed by the FHA, ensuring him of
money to continue developing more
homes. In addition to the houses, a shop-
ping complex would be developed to sup-
ply the homeowners with whatever was
needed to live in the community. The
shopping center was to be oriented for
the increased car traffic that this new gen-
eration of buyers demanded.
Hillsdale #1 was started on Hacienda
near 31st Avenue and contained 84 hous-
es. Eight were sold immediately. On Oct.
4, 1941, a 15,000-square-foot Andrew
Williams Store was begun to service the
community developing west of El
Camino Real. Due to brisk sales, another
100 homes had been begun by Bohannon
earlier in 1941.
World War II began in December 1941
and public construction was almost com-
pletely halted. Bohannon began devel-
oping houses for the war effort .
Thousands of units were needed due to the
Bay defense plants and Bohannon built

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO An estimated
40,000 runners took to the streets Sunday
for the iconic and offbeat San Francisco
footrace Bay to Breakers, an event famed for
the mingling of committed racers with
scantily clad revelers in a party-like atmos-
phere.
The 7-mile-plus race, celebrating its
103rd anniversary, is one of the oldest
footraces in the nation. The winners crossed
the nish line in under an hour after an
equipment problem along the route delayed
the start time by nearly 30 minutes.
Geoffrey Kenisi of Kenya won the mens
race with an ofcial time of 35:10, and
Diane Johnson of Burundi repeated as the
womens winner with an ofcial time of
40:10.
While elite runners take the race seriously
with its more than $70,000 in prize money,
the event also has long been known for its
colorful costumes, nude runners, drinking,
and irreverent, decadent environment. More
than 100,000 spectators were expected to
take in the festivities.
Along with a group of barely dressed
friends, Tom Jerkins, 21, of Seattle,
planned to crash the race wearing nothing
but a Speedo and lime green socks along
with his running shoes, of course.
Is there a problem? Jerkins said. Im
just trying to go with the ow.
Registered runners Tarrek Smith, 37, and
Kelsey Lazich, 23, both of San Jose, say
they have no problem with the anticipated
debauchery.
If you cant tolerate it, sign up for anoth-
er race, Smith said.
Runners Trish Hoy, 16, of South San
Francisco, and her boyfriend, Raymond
Breault, 15, of Brisbane, were dressed as
Beauty and the Geek, with Hoy wearing a
tiara and a sash that read, Miss B2B 2014
Runner-up.
The teens, who are registered for the race,
said their parents had no problem with their
participation.
Its all about having fun and a safe time,
Hoy said.
At least 24 people were arrested for public
intoxication and almost 11 tons of trash
collected at San Franciscos annual Bay to
Breakers foot race today, police said.
San Francisco police spokesman Albie
Esparza said that at least two felony nar-
cotics arrests and at least one misdemeanor
narcotics arrest was made along the race
route today.
One person was also arrested during an
incident at the bison paddock in Golden
Gate Park, Esparza said.
Three citations were issued to people for
urinating in public and four quality of life
citations were also issued, Esparza said.
The San Francisco Department of Public
Works reported via Twitter this afternoon
that their crews wrapped up their clean-up
efforts around 3 p.m., collecting 10.49 tons
of trash on the race route. Last year, 21 peo-
ple were arrested for public intoxication.
Organizers say alcohol, wheeled objects
like strollers and skateboards, and certain
types of bags and containers are banned
from the race course as ofcials maintain
heightened security in the wake of the 2013
Boston Marathon bombings.
At the same time, the city and race organ-
izers have worked hard to make sure the race
is safe, fun, sober and civil, San Francisco
Mayor Ed Lee said.
Tragedies have marked past races. Last
year, a man died after falling off a building
during a Bay to Breakers viewing party,
and another man was never found after
apparently going into the water at Ocean
Beach after the race. In 2012, a man died
weeks after he was severely injured in a
fight after the event.
Revelers turn out for Bay to Breakers race
Police warn residents
about utility phone scam
Burlingame police are warning the pub-
lic about a scam involving calls to busi-
nesses about outstanding utility bills.
Police said at least four local businesses
have received calls in the last two days
from someone claiming to work for PG&E
and calling to collect money that is past
due.
The caller then says the victim can avoid
immediate disruption of their utility serv-
ices by using a pre-paid Green Dot
MoneyPak card to make the payment.
The cards are legitimate debit cards that
can be used to make purchases, but they are
not traceable.
Police are asking the public to be suspi-
cious of callers who demand immediate
payment and to be aware that anyone with
a Green Dot card number can access the
funds on the card.
Police also warn against giving out per-
sonal or financial information to unso-
licited callers and wiring money to a
stranger.
Strong winds,
thunderstorms expected in Bay Area
Strong winds from the west affected the
entire San Francisco Bay Area Sunday and
thunderstorms are in store on Tuesday,
according to the National Weather Service
in Monterey.
The Bay Area was expected to see wind
gusts of 20 to 30 mph rising occasionally
to as much as 40 mph in mountain regions
Sunday night, the weather service reported.
The North Bay can expect thunderstorms
starting on Monday, with the storms
spreading throughout the Bay Area on
Tuesday and then only in Monterey and
San Benito counties on Wednesday.
The winds could cause small tree branch-
es and debris to fall and lightning from
thunderstorms will increase concerns
about fire dangers.

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.

BAMAKO, Mali Separatist
Tuareg rebels launched an assault
on the northern Mali city of Kidal
over the weekend, killing eight
soldiers, storming government
buildings and taking 30 hostages
in a declaration of war on the
government, ofcials said Sunday.
The attack was apparently
prompted by a visit to Kidal on
Saturday by newly appointed Prime
Minister Moussa Mara, highlight-
ing regional hostility toward the
central government in Bamako and
casting further doubt on the viabil-
ity of reconciliation efforts.
The countrys U.N. mission said
in a statement Sunday that six
local government ofcials and two
civilians had also been killed,
although the circumstances of
their deaths were unclear.
This barbaric crime is totally
unacceptable and those responsi-
ble must answer for their actions,
said mission chief Albert
Koenders. An investigation must
be carried out quickly to verify the
facts and bring those responsible
to justice.
The violence began Saturday
morning when the rebels launched
a heavy assault on the governors
ofce, where ofcials had gathered
to meet Mara, according to a gov-
ernment statement. Mara stayed in
the army barracks and then left
Kidal on Sunday for another north-
ern center, Gao.
Fighting continued throughout
the day, killing eight soldiers and
injuring 25, according to a sepa-
rate Defense Ministry statement.
The statement said 28 assailants
were also killed along with 62
wounded.
The Defense Ministry said
Malian soldiers had regained con-
trol of all administrative buildings
in Kidal except the governors
ofce. It was unclear where the
hostages were being held.
The government considers
this unspeakable and cowardly
attack to be a declaration of
war, which leaves it with no
choice but to respond, the
government statement said.
Twenty-one U.N. police ofcers
were injured in the ghting, the
peacekeeping mission said.
Much of northern Mali fell under
the control of ethnic Tuareg sepa-
ratists in 2012 before al-Qaida-
linked ghters hijacked the inva-
sion. A French-led military inter-
vention in 2013 scattered the
Islamic extremists, but Tuareg
separatists have retained a strong
presence in Kidal despite efforts
by the central government to con-
trol the northern city.
Mali: Tuareg rebels take 30 hostages in north

WASHINGTON The devastat-
ing wildres scorching Southern
California offer a glimpse of a
warmer and more fiery future,
according to scientists and federal
and international reports.
In the past three months, at least
three different studies and reports
have warned that wildres are get-
ting bigger, that man-made cli-
mate change is to blame, and its
only going to get worse with more
res starting earlier in the year.
While scientists are reluctant to
blame global warming for any spe-
cic re, they have been warning
for years about how it will lead to
more res and earlier re seasons.
The res in California and here
in Arizona are a clear example of
what happens as the Earth warms,
particularly as the West warms,
and the warming caused by humans
is making re season longer and
longer with each decade, said
University of Arizona geoscien-
tist Jonathan Overpeck. Its cer-
tainly an example of what well
see more of in the future.
Since 1984, the area burned by
the Wests largest wildfires
those of more than 1,000 acres
have increased by about 87,700
acres a year, according to an April
study in the journal Geophysical
Research Letters. And the areas
where re has been increasing the
most are areas where drought has
been worsening and that certain-
ly points to climate being a major
contributor, study main author
Philip Dennison of the University
of Utah said Friday.
The top ve years with the most
acres burned have all happened in
the last decade, according to feder-
al records. From 2010-2013,
about 6.4 million acres a year
burned on average; in the 1980s it
was 2.9 million acres a year.
We are going to see increased
re activity all across the West as
the climate warms, Dennison
said.
That was one of a dozen key
messages in the 841-page
National Climate Assessment
released by the federal govern-
ment earlier this month. It men-
tioned wildres 200 times.
Increased warming, drought and
insect outbreaks, all caused by or
linked to climate change have
increased wildres and impacts to
people and ecosystems in the
Southwest, the federal report said.
Fire models project more wildre
and increased risks to communities
across extensive areas.
Likewise, the Nobel prize win-
ning Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change noted in March
that wildres are on the rise in the
western U.S., have killed 103
Americans in 30 years, and will
likely get worse.
The immediate cause of the res
can be anything from lightning to
arson; the rst of the San Diego
area res, which destroyed at least
eight houses, an 18-unit condo-
minium complex and two busi-
nesses, seemed to start from
sparks from faulty construction
equipment working on a graded
eld, said California Department
of Forestry and Fire Protection
spokeswoman Lynne Tolmachoff.
But the California res are fueled
by three major ingredients:
drought, heat and winds.
California and Arizona have had
their hottest rst four months of
the year on record, according to
National Weather Service records.
Parts of Southern California broke
records Thursday, racing past 100
degrees. For the past two weeks
the entire state of California has
been in a severe or worse drought,
up from 46 percent a year ago,
according to the U.S. drought
monitor.

BRCKO, Bosnia-Herzegovina
Floodwaters triggered more than 3,000
landslides across the Balkans on Sunday,
laying waste to entire towns and villages
and disturbing land mines leftover from the
regions 1990s war, along with warning
signs that marked the unexploded weapons.
The Balkans worst ooding since record
keeping began forced tens of thousands of
people from their homes and threatened to
inundate Serbias main power plant, which
supplies electricity to a third of the country
and most of the capital, Belgrade.
Authorities organized a frenzied helicop-
ter airlift to get terried families to safety
before the water swallowed up their homes.
Many were plucked from rooftops.
Floodwaters receded Sunday in some loca-
tions, laying bare the full scale of the dam-
age. Elsewhere, emergency management
ofcials warned that the water would keep
rising into Sunday night.
The situation is catastrophic, said
Bosnias refugee minister, Adil Osmanovic.
Three months worth of rain fell on the
region in three days, producing the worst
oods since rainfall measurements began
120 years ago. At least two dozen people
have died, with more casualties expected.
The rain caused an estimated 2,100 land-
slides that covered roads, homes and whole
villages throughout hilly Bosnia. Another
1,000 landslides were reported in neighbor-
ing Serbia.
The cities of Orasje and Brcko in north-
east Bosnia, where the Sava River forms the
natural border with Croatia, were in danger
of being overwhelmed. Ofcials in Brcko
ordered six villages to be evacuated.
Rescuers urged people to go to the bal-
conies or rooftops of their houses with
bright fabric to make themselves visible.
Brcko Mayor Anto Domic said that unless
the Bosnian Army is able to reinforce from
the air, the city will be ooded completely.
He called for the Defense Ministry to use
helicopters to lower steel barriers that could
be backed by sandbags to contain the water.
It is a very demanding task, he said,
acknowledging that ofcials would have no
other way to protect the port city of more
than 70,000.
Civil protection commander Fahrudin
Solak said the Sava River was spilling over
another portion of the flood barrier in
Orasje while emergency workers tried des-
perately to reinforce it with sandbags.
In Serbia, where oods have inundated
towns and villages, authorities braced for
high water that could last for several more
days.
Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic
said Sunday that 12 bodies have been found
so far in Obrenovac, site of the coal-red
Nikola Tesla power plant, Serbias biggest.
Parts of the plant and a nearby mine that
provides its fuel were underwater.

Jonathan Madison, a 25-year-old
Millbrae Republican and law student, said
he wants to apply his experience working
as a policy staffer in Congress to benet his
hometown district. He said hes seen how
public policies affect communities and sup-
ports local control. Madison said redevel-
opment is what will help the economy
thrive but hes also concerned about the
rapid rise in housing costs and the lack of
affordable options.
I think its time for some fresh ideas and
I think its time for a new voice and a new
way of looking at the challenges we face,
Madison said.
Mullin is the assistant speaker pro tem of
the Assembly and serves on various com-
mittees and subcommittees, which cover the
budget, local government, business, rev-
enue and taxation, local government and
biotechnology.
Mullin said hes been an advocate for his
district and passed legislation that encour-
ages tax incentives to promote biotech
companies, research and development and
support the Peninsulas innovation econo-
my. Mullin said he wants to focus on nding
a replacement for redevelopment agencies
to assist local governments and is working
on special election reform. Mullin said hes
also very concerned about the lack of afford-
able housing.
San Mateo County has the most expen-
sive rents in America. Its a moral impera-
tive for us to deal with this issue at the state
level. And Im hoping for another term to
continue to work on those issues that affect
San Mateo County, Mullin said.
With Californias top-two primary, the
top two candidates, regardless of party, will
face off in the November general election.
Taxes
Gilham said he wants to eliminate corpo-
rate taxes for three years and slowly
increase subsequent years with a cap of 3.5
percent to make the state competitive in the
national business market.
It would help a lot of businesses because
it would help them forecast what they can
expect with tax rates. Thats the biggest
concern for businesses because its their
variable costs, Gilham said.
Madison said taxes are burdensome to
hardworking Americans and need to be cut at
every socioeconomic level.
When youre in a boom in an economy,
its usually this practice of the government
to start taxing people more in this case,
because taxes are so high, sometimes it can
actually hurt people during the economic
boom, Madison said.
Mullin said he wants to continue to sup-
port research and development through sim-
plifying tax incentives and exempting man-
ufacturing equipment from sales and use
taxes. But Mullin said hes also concerned
about impacts on the lower class and the
states $75 billion unfunded retirement lia-
bilities cant be left to the taxpayers alone
and that it should be shared among stake-
holders in the state, districts and the teach-
ers themselves.
Education
Mullin said he helped to provide more
funding for K-12 school and wants to focus
on implementing Common Core standards
as well as supporting teachers with training
and opportunities to advance careers in
technology.
So this is a time of great change in our
public school system given the local con-
trol funding formula and new standards. So
we need to provide support in schools as
they make this critical transition, Mullin
said.
Madison said the current system isnt
working and he believes in school choice.
The disparity of minorities being accepted
into the University of California system
needs to be addressed at the K-12 level,
Madison said.
I think we need to have a second look at
some of the standards we use to measure and
assess how some of the kids are doing in
school, Madison said. I think the fact that
we spend so much on education, more than
any other state and that we come out at a
number 40 ranking, something is wrong
here.
Gilham said he agreed the state is spend-
ing a lot, but isnt seeing equal results.
Gilham said education needs to be in the
hands of local government and parents and
families need to be more involved.
The public school system is a failure. Im
really a supporter of charter schools, home
schools and private schools, Gilham said.
Environment
Gilham said the states natural resources
are being mismanaged. His uncle is a dairy
farmer and strict environmental regulations
are consequentially hurting agricultural
workers during the drought. The state needs
to be able to build more dams and reservoirs
to supply regions in need, Gilham said.
Cities benet because businesses dont
leave and people dont leave the region. So
were able to generate taxes on a local basis.
So its a win-win for everybody, Gilham
said.
Madison said times of drought are difcult
but theres only so much the government
can practically do and he thinks the efforts
being made to support the environment are
ne for now.
Mullin said hes serving on the water
bond working group with Assemblyman
Rich Gordon, D-Menlo Park. He hopes it
will be easier to pass a law to help update
the states ground water storage and water
recycling policies while encouraging the
use of the limited resource more wisely.
However, Mullin said the initial $11.2 bil-
lion water bond proposal probably doesnt
have a chance and hes shooting for a $6.5
billion bond on the November ballot.
I think the drought is in the publics
mind and the timing would be good to invest
in updating our water infrastructure, Mullin
said.

Eight boaters near Coyote Point in San
Mateo County were rescued from a sinking
canoe Saturday afternoon.
Shortly after noon, the San Mateo
County Sheriffs Office Marine Unit was on
a routine patrol in the waters north of
Coyote Point Yacht Harbor when the har-
bormaster alerted them to a nearby ship in
distress.
Three sheriffs vessels redirected to the
area and located eight people with a sink-
ing outrigger canoe about a mile from
shore, deputies said.
Upon arrival, deputies learned that the
stabilizing pontoon had broken free from
the outrigger.
When deputies arrived, those who had
been in the canoe were in the water, hang-
ing onto another outrigger canoe as well as
their sinking boat in an effort to stop their
disabled boat from capsizing.
The Sheriffs Office Marine Unit trans-
ferred the eight people one by one onto
sheriffs vessels. All eight boaters and
their boats were safely transferred to the
sheriffs vessels and brought back to
Coyote Point, deputies said.
The rescued boaters were offloaded onto
shore where paramedics were waiting to
evaluate and treat them for injuries.
According to deputies, the boaters were
treated for minor injuries at the scene and
nobody was transported to the hospital,
deputies said.
The San Mateo County Sheriffs Office is
reminding boaters to wear life jackets or
wetsuits when appropriate.

Boston Herald
T
he Obama administration is try-
ing to scare us with totally
unveriable projections of a dis-
astrous global warming. We trust that
most people are not going to fall for
this outrageous scare-mongering.
The ballyhooed third National
Climate Assessment, recently released
by several agencies, alleges rst, the
world has warmed over the last century
and second, its going to get much
worse.
This is supposed to convince us of
the wisdom of President Obamas plans
to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide,
the chief gas said to be warming the
planet.
It has indeed warmed slightly (by at
most 1.9 degrees Fahrenheit) over the
past 100 years. Saying so ignores an
unexplained cooling from about 1940
into the 1970s. It warmed from the
1970s to 1998; there has been no
warming since even as carbon dioxide
concentrations rose.
Predictions of oods here and heat
waves there and falling sky somewhere
else are produced by already failed com-
puter models. None can reproduce
changes in temperature observed in the
past. Relying on such failed prophets is
folly.
Unsurprised critics note that the con-
centrations of water vapor in the tropo-
sphere that are supposed to amplify
warming simply arent there.
The assessment rambles about heat
and rainfall and other unpleasantness,
but pays no attention to the fact that
there is no trend in the incidence of tor-
nadoes, or the fact that hurricanes mak-
ing landfall are at a record low, or the
fact that even more emission cuts than
Obama wants would lower the tempera-
ture in 2100 by one-seventh of a
degree.
As Yogi Berra said, its tough to make
predictions, especially about the future.
The country needs a devils advocate,
with adequate funds for research inde-
pendent of the army of alarmists who
have built careers on dubious dogma.
Climate dogma
The June state ballot
N
othing too exceptional on the state June 3 pri-
mary election ballot except for one race. Thats
the one for secretary of state. Its newsworthy
because state Sen. Leland Yee had to withdraw his candi-
dacy following an FBI sting. But more important, there
are two reformers running in addition to the usual politi-
cians. The position itself has taken on new urgency fol-
lowing the suspension of three state senators (including
Yee) from the Legislature and the desire for Sacramento
to clean up its act.
Derek Cressman, one of the Democrats on the ballot,
worked for Common Cause, a national and statewide
organization which champions financial limits in politi-
cal campaigns. In his ballot statement he says When
secretive out-of-state groups funneled $11 million into
Californias 2012 elections, I blew the whistle and got
record fines for two front
groups in the Koch
Brothers big money polit-
ical network. Thats
almost enough to guaran-
tee my vote.
But the choice is espe-
cially difficult because
there is another outstand-
ing candidate. Thats Dan
Schnur, who is running as
an independent. He was
former chair of
Californias Fair Political
Practices Commission and
believes the secretary of
state office should be non-
partisan because it super-
vises elections. Schnur is a former Republican and
worked for former governor Pete Wilson. Elected offi-
cials and business leaders attending the annual Progress
Seminar in Monterey will remember Schnur, a popular
Sunday morning panelist, as being smart, funny and on
point. But it will be tough for an independent to win this
race. Schnur, at last count, was down in the polls.
In fact, the two likely candidates to advance to the
November general election are state Sen. Alex Padilla, D-
Van Nuys, the only elected official in the race; and
Republican Pete Peterson who is the executive director
of the Davenport Institute for Public Policy at
Pepperdine University. Yees withdrawal has made it easi-
er for Padilla, who will probably win. It will be business
as usual. Thats too bad. Either Cressman or Schnur
would be a breath of clean air.

If you havent met Tom Dragges at Trader Joes in San
Mateo, then you have not heard about the Bay Area
Airline Historical Society, which he started. His collec-
tion is displayed at the San Francisco Airport
Commission Aviation Library and Museum, located in
SFOs international terminal. He has also displayed at
local public libraries and at the Hiller Aviation Museum
in San Carlos.
Tom, with the big smile, handed me a packet of press
clippings which describe his passion and his collection
of memorabilia 10,000 items gathered since 1972
on display at the airport. They include wings worn by
stewardesses in the late 1950s and pilots in the 1960s.
His collection consists of more than 250 wings and cap
badges representing over 137 different airlines. They
also include postcards once given out by most of the
commercial carriers.
Dragges says finding wings and cap badges from pio-
neer carriers are the most difficult. Three of his oldest
pieces date from TWA(Transcontinental and Western Air
before it became Trans World Airlines). Many of the
items are donated or found at garage sales. His first air-
plane flight was to boot camp. He became an aircraft
mechanic in the Navy. After he was discharged in 1971,
he went to work for Japan Airlines as a baggage handler.
In addition to his job at Trader Joes, where he has
worked for 11 years, he spends a good part of his time
volunteering at the airport museum. For his dedication to
aviation history, he was recently inducted as a fellow of
the San Francisco Aeronautical Society. Dragges son is
a San Jose firefighter and his daughter works at
Lunardis. His wife puts up with all the stuff in his col-
lection which is not currently on exhibit.

Goals for downtown San Mateo
Editor,
Recent Daily Journal articles
reporting progress of ongoing or
contemplated San Mateo develop-
ments often mention the publics
desire for family-friendly condi-
tions, safe/clean streets and
police presence to be incorporat-
ed in the planning of those proj-
ects.
All those are reasonable expecta-
tions and most seem attainable at
little cost or effort. During recent
years, I have personally lobbied
two members of the City Council
who eventually served as mayors
and respectfully presented my sug-
gestions. I specifically pointed out
impossible-to-read parking meters,
filthy downtown garages full of
secondhand cigarette smoke and
aggressive biking on our narrow
sidewalks made even narrower by
the constant presence of empty,
dirty garbage cans. Some of these
issues are not encouraging any of
us to leave our cars at home and
walk the streets .
The suggested solutions seem
low cost to me. Lets ask meter
maids handing those $42 citations
to report back to their supervisors
equipment in need of repairs. Paint
bike silhouettes, crossed with a big
X at the beginning, middle and
end of sidewalks to educate and
remind people that biking on side-
walks is prohibited. Mothers with
strollers, the general public and
elderly people with walkers should
not be forced to scurry away from
the unyielding path of bikers.
What about steam cleaning the
public garages once in a while?
This is especially important now
that we are entering summer and the
heat will accentuate odors.
Aquick look at San Carlos and
Burlingame downtowns can give us
all a goal to strive for.

Ice rinks provide life-enriching
activities
Editor,
Although Im generally disinclined
to comment on controversies outside
my immediate community, it seems
appropriate to add my voice to the
Bridgepointe ice rink closure issue.
In her Thursday, May 15 letter to the
Daily Journal, Karen Herrel very
authoritatively makes her point
regarding the question that ones
property ownership does not entitle
him to do whatever he wants, and
public be damned.
Ms. Herrel is very articulate in her
position that private ownership does
not grant license to disregard the
greater community good, or for that
matter, to go against the
wishes/designs/plans of a city.
Ms. Herrels letter says it all from
the point of view expressed.
However, I want to add that the now-
closed ice rink was a source of life-
enriching experiences, for kids, cer-
tainly, but also for the parents who
accompanied them. Remember it
was called Family Fun!
As kids grew older, they could bike
to the rink and have healthful fun
with their friends.
In recent years, arts programs are
being stripped from our schools. We
mustnt do this to our young people. I
recall my own experience in my
school bands (Grade 5 through high
school). Sure, I didnt develop into a
major musician not even close
but that wasnt really the point.
We played a wide range of musical
selections marches, of course, but
also classical.
And the camaraderie oh dear!
Want more? How about discipline
no one was ever late to band prac-
tice, let alone to performances (and of
course, we voluntarily practiced at
home).
Band includes a built-in payback to
society, as Im sure other activities,
such as drama, visual arts and Ice
skating all do.
Stripping the life out of life
paints a bleak picture for our society.

race. San Mateo County voters should
know that Joe Galligan is not only
qualied to be controller, but is far and
away the better candidate.
I am not going to say anything
negative about his opponent, I only
want to say something positive about
Joe Galligan. Joe is a friend of mine
and my family, and has been for 40
years, and I have always admired Joes
integrity, loyalty, honesty, diligence
and work ethic. Joe is a very intelli-
gent, thoughtful person, who has
decades of experience as a CPA., but
was also on the Burlingame City
Council and served as mayor. Joe
loved his time on the City Council
and truly enjoys public service, but
he is also a very savvy businessman
and administrator, all qualities neces-
sary to be an effective public servant,
and especially as a county controller.
We should not miss this opportunity
to have Joe serve our county. He has
earned his stripes, he is the better can-
didate, and he should get your vote.

DALLAS AT&T Inc. on Sunday agreed
to buy DirecTV for $48.5 billion, or $95
per share, a move that gives telecommuni-
cations company a larger base of video sub-
scribers and increases its ability to compete
against Comcast and Time Warner Cable,
which agreed to a merger in February.
AT&Ts proposed combination, which is
subject to government review, could improve
its Internet service by pushing its existing U-
verse TV subscribers into video-over-satel-
lite service, and thereby free up bandwidth on
its telecommunications network.
AT&T currently offers a high-speed
Internet plan in a bundle with DirecTV tele-
vision service. The acquisition would help
it further reap the benets of that alliance.
With 5.7 million U-verse TV customers
and 20.3 million DirecTV customers in the
U.S., the combined entity would serve 26
million. That would make it the second-
largest pay TV operator behind a combined
Comcast-Time Warner Cable, which would
serve 30 million.
The companies expect the deal to close
within 12 months. Under the terms agreed
to Sunday, DirecTV shareholders will
receive $28.50 per share in cash and $66.50
per share in AT&T stock. The total transac-
tion value is $67.1 billion, including
DirecTVs net debt.
The deal could face tough scrutiny from
the Federal Communications Commission
and antitrust regulators at the Department of
Justice.
Unlike Comcast Corp. and Time Warner
Cable which dont compete in the same
territory AT&Ts U-verse, offered in 22
states, does compete directly for TV cus-
tomers with DirecTV, which is available
nationwide.
The combination would reduce con-
sumers options for pay TV providers from
four to three for about 25 percent of U.S.
households, according to Morgan Stanley
analyst Ben Swinburne. Fewer competitors
could result in higher prices, a situation that
usually gives regulators cause for concern.
Analysts have also questioned the strate-
gic benets of a deal that would give AT&T
a larger presence in the mature market for
pay TV.
Last year, pay TV subscribers fell for the
rst time, dipping 0.1 percent to 94.6 mil-
lion, according to Leichtman Research
Group.
While AT&T and DirecTV are doing better
than cable companies at attracting TV sub-
scribers, DirecTVs growth in the U.S. has
stalled while AT&T is growing the fastest of
any TV provider.
Long term, the deal may offer little help
to AT&T as viewers continue to watch more
video online.
DirecTV offers neither fixed-line nor
mobile Internet service, and its rights to
airwave frequencies for satellite TV are not
the kind that AT&T can use to improve its
mobile phone network.
AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson has spo-
ken exuberantly about how the growth of
online video helps boost demand for its
Internet and mobile services. Last month,
AT&T entered a joint venture with the
Chernin Group to invest in online video
services.
AT&T is based in Dallas. DirecTV would
continue to be based in El Segundo,
California, following the merger, the com-
panies said.

Few personal milestones compel some-
one to buy life insurance coverage like
becoming a parent.
In the event of an untimely death, life
insurance can serve as a financial safety
net to ensure theres money available to
pay for everything from medical bills to a
home mortgage and the future college edu-
cation costs.
Many Americans have taken steps to line
up such a financial cushion.
At the end of 2012, there were 146.2
million individual life insurance policies
in effect, with coverage totaling $11. 2
trillion, according to the American
Council of Life Insurers.
Here are five tips for new parents look-
ing to buy life insurance:
1. LEARN INSURANCE OPTIONS
Life insurance policies can vary widely,
but they generally fall under two cate-
gories: Term insurance and permanent
insurance, which are often referred to as
whole life or universal insurance.
With term insurance you pay a premium
for a set period, commonly 10 years or 20
years, and your policy entitles you to a
specific amount of money. Unless the pol-
icyholder dies, triggering a payout, any
premiums paid are lost once the policy
term ends.
In contrast, whole life insurance poli-
cies cover insured individuals as long as
they live. These policies also function as
savings vehicle. A portion of the premi-
ums paid for the policy are invested to pro-
vide a pool of money that the policyhold-
er can access, tax-free, while theyre still
alive. Such policies are generally more
expensive than term life insurance, how-
ever.
Andrew Porter, a certified public account-
ant in LaFayette, California, advises
clients who are new parents to avoid whole
life insurance.
The cheapest form of insurance, gener-
ally speaking, for healthy, young adults is
term (policies), Porter said.
2. DETERMINE COVERAGE PRIORITIES
Generally, an insurance agent will help
you determine an appropriate coverage
amount for the policy by examining some
of the key costs your family will have in
years to come, such as the cost of child
care, education and the mortgage.
Another approach is to figure out how
much income youre expected to earn over
your lifetime.
Still, while it might be tempting to
think of life insurance in terms of a dollar
amount, it makes more financial sense to
tie that amount to a goal, like paying off a
mortgage or college tuition, said Porter.
If youre going to buy insurance you
want to have a specific use for each poli-
cy, he said. It opens the way for insur-
ance agents to oversell insurance that you
may or may not need.
Life Happens, a nonprofit organization
funded by insurance and financial compa-
nies, has an online worksheet to ballpark
your insurance needs before you meet with
an agent:
http://www. l i fehappens. org/insurance-
overview/life-insurance/calculate-your-
needs .
3. BUY A POLICY EARLY
The cost of life insurance doesnt hinge
on your credit rating, savings or assets.
Its determined by your age and the results
of a medical evaluation thats required
every time you seek coverage.
If youre a couple in your 20s and
healthy, youll pay less than when youre
in your 30s and 40s.
If you can qualify now its better to do
it, versus waiting and something could
change in your medical situation and you
may end up not qualifying, said Craig
DeSanto, head of life insurance and long-
term care at New York Life. And the
younger you buy, the cheaper it is.
A 20-year-old man who is healthy and
doesnt smoke could be charged, on aver-
age, $32.53 a month for $500,000 in cov-
erage on a 20-year term life insurance pol-
icy, according to an estimate by insurance
quote portal TrustedChoice.com.
By comparison, a 50-year-old with
the same health characteristics would
be charged $111. 38 per month for the
same coverage.
4. CONSIDER
INSURING BOTH PARENTS
Its common for both parents to work
and contribute to household expenses and
the costs of caring for their children.
Thats one reason experts recommend both
spouses have life insurance, particularly if
they both pitch in to pay the mortgage.
But even in cases where one parent quits
work to care for a young child, that parent
should be insured.
If youre providing for someone its not
just income that you make as an employee,
its the value youre providing taking care
of a dependent, said DeSanto.
5. CONSULT THE PROS
Wading through the trove of life insur-
ance offerings can be challenging. Its
best to consult with a financial advisor and
meet with an insurance agent who can pro-
vide the most up-to-date rates and policy
options available.

NEW YORK If you go to work for
a newer business, theres a good
chance youll be working for a woman.
Women are starting companies at a
torrid pace. Between 1997 and 2014,
the number of women-owned business-
es in the U.S. rose by 68 percent, twice
the growth rate for men and nearly one
and a-half times the rate for all compa-
nies, according to an American Express
analysis of Census Bureau gures. They
are starting an estimated 1,288 compa-
nies each day, up from 602 in 2011-12,
American Express says.
Women are becoming more aware of
the opportunities for entrepreneurship
in their lives. Its becoming more of an
option for a career move than it ever
has been in the past, says Susan
Duffy, executive director of the Center
for Womens Entrepreneurial
Leadership at Babson College.
The number of new businesses start-
ed by women and men has increased in
part because of the difcult job market
since the recession. But the numbers of
women business owners will keep ris-
ing as interest in entrepreneurship
grows and younger women look to
famous women as their role models,
Duffy says.
Some of those inspirations: Oprah
Winfrey, designers Tory Burch and Diane
Von Furstenberg and Weili Dai, co-founder
of chip maker Marvell Technology. The
current head of the Small Business
Administration, Maria Contreras-Sweet,
and her predecessor, Karen Mills, have
both been business owners.
More women are seeing themselves
out there in their heroes in the busi-
ness world. Theyre saying, this is fab-
ulous, I want to be like her, Duffy
says.
Their role models also include less
prominent successful women in busi-
ness.
One of Summer Scarbroughs inspi-
rations has been her mother,
Elizabeth, a former executive with a
medical devices company. The
Scarbroughs own VinniBag, a seller of
travel bags for wine and other bottles.

College of San Mateo softball went two-
and-out in the state championship tourna-
ment, ending its season on a pair of losses
to Mt. San Antonio and Santiago Canyon.
The Lady Bulldogs led only once through-
out the double-elimination tourney at
Bakerseld College, and just briey at that.
In their 8-6 elimination loss Saturday to
Santiago Canyon, the Lady Bulldogs took a
2-1 lead in the bottom of the rst inning.
But Santiago Canyon rallied for four runs in
the second and led the rest of the way.
CSM attempted a Cinderella comeback in
the bottom of seventh and saw the potential
tying run reach scoring position. But with
runners on second and third, CSMs leading
home run hitter Brooke Ramsey popped out
to second base to end it.
Overall, the team played well, CSM
head coach Nicole Borg said via text mes-
sage. We made a few mistakes in Game 1
that changed the momentum for us, but we
fought until the end. Im very proud of this
team for never giving up and truly believing
they could win up until the very end.
Santiago Canyon was eliminated in its
Saturday nightcap in a 12-4 mercy-rule loss
to Mt. San Antonio.
Friday, CSM fell to the losers bracket
Friday with a 9-5 loss to Mt. San Antonio.
CSM starting pitcher Ashlynne Neil got
into trouble early as Mt. San Antonio scored
ve runs in the rst inning. After Mt. San
Antonio rallied for three more in the top of
the fourth, CSM answered with a ve-run
rally in the bottom of the inning to stave
off a mercy-rule defeat.
Lemus paced the Lady Bulldogs, totaling
ve hits in the tourney. Natalie Saucedo
powered CSM with a 4-for-5 showing, club-
bing two home runs and notching ve RBIs
over the two games.
For the Lady Bulldogs, who entered the
championship tournament with just two
losses on the year, the two-and-out perform-
ance doubles their seasons loss total. CSM

INDIANAPOLIS Local driver Ed
Carpenter has made himself at home on the
Indianapolis 500 pole.
The last of nine qualiers to take the
track, Carpenter bumped James Hinchcliffe
from the top spot, posting a four-lap aver-
age of 231.067 mph to win the 500 pole for
the second straight year.
I felt that it was harder, Carpenter said.
It was just a different position because
when I made my run last year, we didnt real-
ly have anything to lose. This year, being
the last guy to go out, I think there was a lit-
tle bit of pressure to not mess it up.
He didnt mess it up, not at all.
Carpenters No. 20 Chevrolet was the car
to beat all weekend, and the hometown
favorite showed no signs of rust in his rst
IndyCar Series race of the season. He owns
Ed Carpenter Racing and decided in
November to run only on ovals, where he
excels. He turned his car over to Mike
Conway on road and street courses, and
skipped the rst four races of the season.
He knew he had the pole secured when he
nailed the nal two corners on the last lap.
I could really just kind of enjoy it know-
ing that we were going to be on the pole for
the second year, he said.
Hinchcliffe will start second after sustain-
ing a concussion last weekend in the Grand
Prix of Indianapolis. Will Power will join
them on the front row.
Three-time Indy 500 champion Helio
Castroneves was fourth followed by Simon
Pagenaud and Marco Andretti. Carlos
Munoz, Josef Newgarden and J.R.
Hildebrand will be on the third row.
Carpenter, the stepson of former speed-
way executive Tony George, was 10th in
last years Indy 500. He is 11th driver to
earn consecutive 500 poles and the rst
since Castroneves in 2009-10.

STANFORD Its been 12 years since an
American forward scored in a World Cup.
Brian McBrides go-ahead goal against
Mexico during a 2002 second-round match
in South Korea helped the Americans
advance to the quarternals in their best
showing since 1930. The U.S. has eight
goals since then, seven by midfielders
Landon Donovan, Clint Dempsey and
Michael Bradley, plus an own-goal against
Italy.
I didnt realize that, San Joses Chris
Wondolowski, trying to earn a roster spot as
a reserve striker, said before a training ses-
sion Sunday. If a forward scores, well be
happy. If a defender scores a hat trick, well
be just as happy.
As the Americans prepare for next
months tournament in Brazil, pressure for
goals will be on Jozy Altidore and Dempsey,
who gradually has shifted to striker during
the current four-year cycle.
Altidore has 21 goals for the U.S. and last
summer became the rst American to score
in ve straight international matches. But
he struggled in his first season with
Sunderland in the Premier League, getting
just two goals in 38 games.
It mirrored his slump four years ago, when
he had only two goals in 30 matches during
a one-season loan to Hull. As a 20-year-old,
he started all four American matches at the
2010 World Cup, and he didnt start to break
out until he signed with AZ Alkmaar in the
Netherlands. He scored 20 goals in 2011-12
and added 31 the following season, setting a
record for an American with a European club.
That earned him a big-money transfer to
the Premier League. And then came another
drought.
Same guy I was before. Just believe the
reason why youre there, how you got
there, he said. We have guys in abundance
that can get the job done. I think well be
ne. The most important thing we have to
U.S. looks to end

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO Two key players are
finding their way for the San Francisco
Giants.
Pablo Sandoval home-
red for the rst time in
more than a month and
Ryan Vogelsong won for
just the second time in
nine starts, leading the
San Francisco Giants
past the Miami Marlins
4-1 on Sunday to salvage
a split of their four-game
series.
Manager Bruce Bochy
never doubted these two
would get on track.
Theyre two guys we
need to have success,
Bochy said, Vogey
being a starter and Pablo
hitting in the heart of the
order.
Buster Posey returned
from a day off to hit a sac-
rifice fly, while Tyler
Colvin and Brandon
Hicks each hit RBI singles in a stretch of
four straight base hits with two outs in the
rst against Jacob Turner.
Staked to an early lead, Vogelsong (2-2)
struck out six in seven innings as the Giants
concluded a season-long stretch with 17
games in as many days. San Francisco
avoided its rst three-game home losing
streak.
Turner (0-2) is still searching for his rst
road win, falling to 0-11 in 18 career road
starts.
All I can do is go out and give it every-
thing I have, he said. Wins, losses, those
are things I cant control.

Sierra College brought the
state championship to Northern
California though, scoring a 6-5
comeback win over three-time
state champion Mt. San Antonio
in Sundays series finale. After
Mt. San Antonio defeated Sierra
4-3 earlier in the day to force a
winner-take-all showdown,
Sierra again found itself trailing
4-0 heading into the bottom of
the sixth of Game 2.
Thats when the Sierra bats heat-
ed up, scoring ve runs in the
sixth to take a 5-4 lead, highlight-
ed by a three-run home run by
Alexis Johnson, her seventh of
the year.
Mt. San Antonio tied it on a
solo home run by Charlotte Foster
in the seventh. But in extra
inning, Sierra rallied in the bot-
tom of the eighth to win the state
championship on a walk-off RBI
single by Kaitlyn Garcia.
Sierra nishes the year with a
record of 43-5. It is the rst state
championship for the Rocklin-
based college famed for housing
training camp for the San
Francisco 49ers from 1981-97.

U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann

October 2012 after a troublesome
May-June camp followed by a poor

But, at least publicly,
Klinsmann says now he is uncon-

Still, we see Jozy in his devel-

Jozy is not built yet. Jozy has not

that next learning curve for Jozy
Altidore. Ive always said that he

Dempsey, 31, replaced Carlos

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
As was expected, only five
Peninsula Athletic League teams,
along with the West Catholic
Athletic Leagues Notre Dame-
Belmont, were the only San Mateo
County teams to qualify for the
Central Coast Section playoffs.
The PALs top three teams
Carlmont, Hillsdale and Half Moon
Bay all received automatic bids.
Capuchino, the Bay Divisions
fourth-place team, received an at-
large berth, as did Notre Dame-
Belmont.
The biggest surprise among coun-
ty teams was the inclusion of Mills,
but by virtue of winning a tiebreaker,
earned the PALs Ocean Division
automatic berth. The Vikings n-
ished in a three-way tie atop of the
PALs Ocean Division, along with
Terra Nova and San Mateo. The
Vikings went 3-1 against Terra Nova
and San Mateo. The Bearcats were 2-
2 against the Vikings and Tigers,
while Terra Nova was 1-3 against the
other two teams.
Mills (12-7) will be the No. 13
seed in the Division II tournament,
where it will face No. 4 Valley
Christian (20-7) in San Jose
Wednesday.
Carlmont, which won another
PAL Bay Division title by going
undefeated, was named the No. 1
seed in the Division I tournament
and earned a rst-round bye. The
Scots can avoid their nemesis San
Benito, which was seeded No. 3,
until the nals assuming both
teams advance that far.
The Scots wont play until a
quarternal game Saturday, when
they will play either No. 8
Milpitas (19-8) or No. 9
Christopher-Gilroy (16-10).
Carlmont is the lone county rep-
resentative in Division I.
Division II sees a trio of PAL
teams. In addition to Mills,
Hillsdale and Capuchino were also
selected to the Division II eld.
Hillsdale (20-7) received the No. 3
seed and will have a rst-round
bye. The Knights are on the other
side of the bracket from top-seeded
Mitty a WCAL, section, state
and national power. The Knights
would only meet the Monarchs in
the nals.
Not that Hillsdale can avoid a
WCALteam until the championship
game. The Knights will face the
winner of No. 6 Presentation (21-7)
and No. 11 Branham (19-7) in a
quarternal game Saturday.
Capuchino (16-10) was seeded
No. 8 and will get a home game
Wednesday when the Mustangs will
host No. 9 Monterey (17-8). The
winner has the unenviable task of
taking on No. 1 Mitty in the quar-
ternals Saturday.
In Division III, Half Moon Bay
(20-7), which nished in a second-
place tie with Hillsdale in the Bay
Division standings, was awarded the
No. 4 seed and will host No. 13
Castilleja (11-13) Wednesday. The
Cougars advanced to the champi-
onship game last season, falling to
this seasons No. 2-seeded team,
Notre Dame-Salinas.
Notre Dame-Belmont (16-11)
will host No. 12 Pacic Grove
(12-14) Wednesday for the second
season in a row. Last year, the
Tigers, as the No. 8 seed, hosted
the No. 9 Breakers with Pacic
Grove coming away with a 3-0
win.
All rst-round game begin at 4
p.m. Quarternal game times and
sites have yet to be determined.

CLEVELAND The Oakland Athletics
showed off their offensive prowess all week-
end at Progressive Field.
Sundays 13-3 win gave Oakland a three-
game sweep over slumping Cleveland, a series
in which the Athletics outscored the Indians
30-6.
Yoenis Cespedes drove in a career-high ve
runs and Brandon Moss had three RBIs to pace
Oaklands offense that began with an eight-run
second inning Friday night and never let up.
I would just use the word condent, Moss
said of his teams offense. Everybodys going
up there and taking good swings. We have
guys who put together some good at-bats who
have some pop. That usually leads to runs.
The Athletics, who have won nine of 10,
saved their best for the nal game, pounding
out 12 hits, including seven doubles, and draw-
ing nine walks.
Cespedes two-run double was the key hit in
Oaklands four-run fth. He also drove in two
runs with another double in the eighth.
Moss was 3 for 3 with two walks and scored
four runs. He had an RBI double in the fth, a
two-run double in the sixth and a triple in the
second.
John Jasos RBI double in the fourth put
Oakland ahead for good while Josh
Donaldson, who drove in seven runs in the
series, had an RBI single in the fth and scored
four runs.
All the guys we rely on to knock in runs are
doing exactly what theyre supposed to do,
Oakland manager Bob
Melvin said. Thats when
were at our best.
Jesse Chavez (4-1) gave
up solo homers to Michael
Bourn in the rst and
Michael Brantley in the
fth, accounting for both
runs the right-hander
allowed in ve innings.
Cleveland has dropped
four straight and six of
eight. The Indians scored rst in all three
games, but were no match for Oakland, which
leads the ALWest with a 28-16 record.
Indians manager Terry Francona is
impressed with the Athletics.
They got it working right now, he said.
They have good starting pitching, theyve
got a very good bullpen and they are swinging
it from one through nine.
Justin Masterson (2-3) allowed seven runs,
seven hits and ve walks in 4 1-3 innings.
Francona moved Nick Swisher and Carlos
Santana, who have battled season-long
slumps, down in the batting order, but the
changes didnt help the struggling offense,
which has scored three runs or fewer 24 times
in 44 games.
Santana, moved from cleanup to seventh,
was hitless in four at-bats while Swisher,
switched from second to sixth, was 0 for 5 and
committed an error in the seventh.
Swisher elded a routine grounder to end the
inning and was given a sarcastic cheer by the
small crowd of 14,872.
Third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall also had
an error, giving the Indians a major-league
high 45.
Bourn led off the game with a home run to
center that landed in Clevelands bullpen, but
the lead didnt last long.
Moss started the second with a triple.
Chisenhall elded Cespedes ground ball and
his throw landed in the camera bay behind rst
base. Cespedes was given an RBI.
Masterson walked Donaldson and Moss to
start the fourth. Jasos one-out double put
Oakland ahead and Josh Reddick followed with
a single for a 3-1 lead.
Oakland put the game away in the fth,
stringing together four hits and a walk off
Masterson. Following Donaldsons RBI sin-
gle, Moss drove in a run with a double and
Cespedes double scored two more.
Jaso and Reddick also drove in two runs
apiece.
Obviously, we got a lot of guys on base
this series, Donaldson said. From top to
bottom, we had guys having really good at-
bats.
Oakland shortstop Jed Lowrie left the game
in the second inning because of a strained neck
and was replaced by Nick Punto.
NOTES: The Athletics announced following
the game they claimed left-hander Jeff Francis
off waivers from Cincinnati and he will join
the team for its series at the Rays that begins
Tuesday.
Joe Savery, who was expected to go on the
paternity list, was optioned to Triple-A
Sacramento instead. He pitched two scoreless
innings Sunday.
Jake Elmore (strained left quad) has been
moved to the 60-day disabled list.
Eric Sogard was removed in the eighth
inning after fouling a ball off his knee.
Melvin said Scott Kazmir, ejected in the sec-
ond inning Saturday, will likely stay on his
regular turn and start Friday in Toronto.

The Mills boys took rst place in no track
events while the Menlo-Atherton girls made a
run at a clean sweep. Yet both teams won the
respective boys and girls championships at
the Peninsula Athletic League Track and Field
Championships Saturday at Terra Nova.
Mills boys took a lead in the field
events on May 11 which proved
to be insurmountable. The
Vikings scored an overall score
on 80 68 of which were totaled
in field events edging second-
place Carlmont, which scored 69
total points.
It is the rst PALChampionship win for
the Mills boys since 1994, according to
Mills head coach Tim Tuff.
It actually caught me a little bit by sur-
prise, Tuff said. I knew we performed
really well in the jumps, but I didnt know
how deep we had scored and just how good
we had done.
Menlo-Atherton ruled the girls meet, win-
ning six of 10 track events and earning rst
place in two eld events to score 143 total
points, nearly doubling second-place Mills
total of 76 points.
M-A girls have big day
Paced by sophomore Annalisa Crowe, the
Bears swept the podium in the girls 800-meter
and took rst, second and fourth place in the
1,600. The M-Agirls also took rst place in
the 4x400 meter relay with Crowe running
the anchor leg the 4x100 relay, the 100, the
800 and the 3,200.
Despite rugged winds throughout the day, all
three M-A girls set personal records in the
1,600. In fourth place, sophomore Madeleine
Baier tabbed a time of 5 minutes, 21.60 sec-
onds. In second place, senior Taylor Fortnam
nished in 5:19.13. Crowe won convincingly
in 5:17.37.
Crowe said she didnt pace herself as well as
she wanted. Striving to set a one-lap pace of
76 seconds in the event, she ran her rst lap
just too fast in 72 seconds. Still,
the rst-place win is a vindication
after the sophomore nished in
second place last year to then
Westmoor powerhouse Kylie Goo
at the 2013 PALChampionship
meet.
While Crowes time in the
1,600 did not qualify for
the Central Coast
S e c t i o n
C h a mp i o n s h i p s
beginning Saturday,
May 24, she entered
into the PAL
Championship with
the sixth best time in
the 800 in CCS with a 2:17.08.
She also anchors the 4x100
meter relay team, which ranked
17th with a 50.66.
M-As 4x400 meter relay team
also ranks sixth in the CCS with a
4:03.48.
Mills boys rule eld
Mills racked up most of its 80 total
point in the eld events, with rst-
place wins by senior Jephta Zapata in
the boys discus and shot put.
In the discus, Zapatas winning
throw went 139 feet, 5 inches. Sam
Smith of Hillsdale took second place
with a throw of 137 feet. Mills took third
and fourth place, as senior Amien Alazzeh
turned in a throw of 134-2 and junior Keven
Kwok a throw of 128 feet.
In the shot put, Zapata edged teammate
Salesio Langi. Zapata took rst place with a
throw of 46-5 ?. Langi, a senior, claimed sec-
ond with a throw of 46 feet, one-quarter inches.
Mills junior Elton Xue took fth with a throw
of 42-11.
Mills has nine competitors in 11
events who have qualied for the CCS
championships.
Thats a lot, Tuff said. I think
weve done that before. I dont
think thats a record for us. But
thats high.
One of the reasons Mills has
such a deep squad this season
is because of a carry-over
from other sports, Tuff said.
Seniors Victor Beglitsoff
and Joshua Sved both made the tran-
sition from football, while Marquis
Adkins joined after basketball sea-
son. Beglitsoff, a senior, hasnt run
track since freshman year. For Sved,
a senior, and Adkins, a junior, it is
the rst year on the track and eld
team for both.
That was a sign of things to come,
Tuff said. We were like, We can make
some noise in the league. And we won
all our dual meets.
For a Mills track and eld tradition
going back to the mid-1980s with
Vikings legend Ed Parker and former
Olympian Leslie Maxie, who holds
the girls national record of 55.2 in
the 400 hurdles, Tuff said he hopes
the foundation is in place to put Mills
track and eld back on the map.
We have a rich track history, he said. So,
it may be the coming of our time again.
Girlsindividual standouts
Mills also got an outstanding performance
in the girls Championship from junior
Caroline Trevithick.
Trevithick took rst place in two events,
with a time of 16.6 in the 110 hurdles and a
jump of 15-10 in the long jump. The junior ran
the second leg of the 4x400 meter relay in
which Mills nished in third place with a time
of 4:23.39.
She also took second place in the 300
hurdles with a time of 49.02.
Burlingames Greer Chrisman took rst in
the event with a 46.73.
Burlingame junior Alex Seniff took
rst place in the 400 with a time of
1:00.09, falling just .02 seconds
shy of her personal record
which she set on the mondo
track of San Jose Community
College just two weeks ago.
A fiery competitor,
Seniff edged Menlo-
Atherton junior Annie
Harrier, who took sec-
ond in the 400 with a
1:00.35. Harrier led in
the race until the halfway mark when
Seniff made her move, and the
Burlingame junior was able to hold off
Harrier around the last turn.
I could see her in my peripherals, Seniff
said. I did not want her to pass me. I was
like, Youre not getting past me.
M-A also saw big performances
from the versatile Kathyrn Mohr
and distance runner Fortnam.
Mohr won rst place in three
events. The sophomore ran the second leg of
M-As rst-place performance in 4x100 meter
relay with a time of 50.47. She also won the
100 with a time of 13.15 and took rst in the
pole vault with throw of 10-6.
Last year as a freshman, Mohr only compet-
ed in pole vault. But this year the sophomore
had something of a revelation when she start-
ed competing on the track
I didnt [run] last year but I nally got a
chance. Last year I was pole vaulting so much,
I didnt really have a chance, Mohr said. But
it turns out Im fast.
Mills boys, M-A girls rule PAL Championship
See TRACK, Page 15
Fortnam turned in an exciting win
in the 3,200 with a time of
11:48.93. It marks the second
straight year she will advance to the
CCS championships in the event.
Boys individual standouts
M-A senior Deverick Meacham
proved versatile as well by claim-
ing first place in both the boys
100 and the long jump.
Meacham topped Beglitsoff of
Mills by nearly a foot in the
long jump, winning with a jump
of 21-5. His finish in the 100
was not so comfortable, as the
top three finishers were all with-
in .08 seconds of one another.
Meacham won with a time of
11.49, while Woodsides Justin
Borjon took second with an
11.55 and Burlingames Faraaz
Rashidi took third with an
11. 57.
One of the easiest competitors
on the track to identify,
Meacham who is set to run
track and field for De Anza
College next year sports a sig-
nature look with his bright
fuchsia shoes and socks.
M-A head coach Alan
Perry made a deal with
Meacham heading
into the season
that if the sen-
ior did well in
the classroom,
hed buy him
the flashiest
spikes he could
find. Mission
accomplished.
I just like to be
bright, Meacham
said.
Another com-
petitor who is easily
identifiable is Terra
Novas Jeremy Wri ght .
At 6-4, 195 pounds,
Wright was the
tallest student-ath-
lete on the track
Saturday.
It isnt just
Wri ght s stature
that garners attention
though. The junior daz-
zled with wins in the 200
and 400. In the 200, he won with
a time of 22.53, topping M-As
Zach Plante, who claimed second
place with a 22.70. The two also
finished one-two in the 400,
though Wrights win was
much more convincing
with a 47.61, while
Plante turned in a
49. 09.
A lifer on the
track, Wright
held a dis-
tinct home-
eld advan-
tage Saturday, as
the Pacica native has
been competing on the
Terra Nova track since he
was 7.
According to Terra Nova
head coach Michelle
Bokamper through, Wright is
still developing the confi-
dence to take his game to the
next level.
Even though hes very fast
and very quick, theres always
that issue of confidence,
Bokamper said. Hes getting
better. Hes improving. The
key is to get him to keep the
momentum of his [mechanics]
throughout the entire race.
Having qualified for his sec-
ond consecutive CCS finals
though, Wright doesnt seem to
lack confidence. In fact, he cited
such confidence as a
weapon in running
Saturdays 400
against Plante.
[Plante] defi-
nitely always
starts fast
but I always
have confi-
dence to
turn it faster
t han t hey
can, Wright said.
Carlmont senior
Franklin Rice
turned in an impres-
sive win in the
boys 300-meter hur-
dles. Rice claimed
rst place with a time
of 40.51, overtaking
Aragons Liam
Richardson on the last
hurdle for one of the most
thrilling finishes of the
day. Richardson took second
with a 40.57.
El Camino senior Gerardo
Castro turned in one of the
most dynamic overall per-
formances of the day. Castro took
rst place in four events the
800 with a 1:55.95, the 1,600
with a 4:17.10, and the 3,200
with a 9:31.86. He also ran the
anchor leg of El Caminos rst-
place performance in the 4x400
meter relay.

inaugural PAL baseball tournament, it can be
argued the Ocean Division had a better 2014 at
least as far as the Oceans co-champions,
Capuchino and Sequoia are concerned.
Capuchino entered CCS with the best
record, 22-8, of any team coming out of San
Mateo County. That was good for a No. 5 seed
in the Division II tournament. The Mustangs
open CCS play by hosting No. 12 Menlo
School (17-12) In San Bruno Wednesday. The
Knights beat the Mustangs 14-1 in the semi-
nals of the PAL, but expect either Joe Galea or
Rory McDaid Capuchinos top two pitchers
to get the call Wednesday. Neither made an
appearance against Menlo in the PAL tourna-
ment.
The Cap-Menlo winner will move into the
quarternals and face the winner of No. 13
Gilroy (9-15)/No. 4 Santa Cruz.
Sequoia, with a 19-7-1 record, had the sec-
ond-best record of any county school. The
Cherokees parlayed that record into a No. 3
seed in the Division I tournament. They will
host No. 14 Fremont-Sunnyvale (15-11) in a
rst-round game Thursday. The winner of that
game will play either No. 11 Alvarez (16-7-1)
or No. 6 Christopher (14-12) in a quarternal
game Saturday.
Three county teams Carlmont, Serra and
Terra Nova will all play in the Open
Division and all three were seeded in the lower
part of the bracket. By virtue of winning the
PALs Bay Division, Carlmont and Terra Nova
were automatically bumped up into the Open
Division.
That co-championship between the Scots
and Tigers did not amount to much in the eyes
of CCS, which looks at the whole season and
two teams falling relatively short of 20 wins
does not bode well in the CCSs toughest
division. Carlmont (15-11-1) was seeded No.
16 and will face top-seeded Leigh (23-6)
Wednesday. Terra Nova (17-12) received the
highest seed of the county teams in the Open
Division, getting No. 10 and will also be on
the road at No. 7 Mitty (22-6), also
Wednesday.
Serra, on the other hand, had to petition to
move into the Open Division bracket where
the Padres are one of ve West Catholic Athletic
League teams to qualify for the Open Division.
Serra (16-11) was seeded No. 15 and will be on
the road at No. 2 San Benito (21-6) Wednesday.
The Serra/San Benito winner will face the
Terra Nova/Mitty victor, while the
Carlmont/Leigh winner takes on the winner of
No. 9 Palo Alto (16-14) and No. 8 Leland (19-
9).
In addition to Sequoia, Menlo-Atherton
(16-12-1) and South City (15-13) will be
playing in Division I. M-A, which nished
third in the Bay Division during the regular
season and also was runner up in the PALtour-
nament, received the No. 12 seed and will be
on the road Thursday to take on No. 5
Watsonville (20-6).
The M-A/Watsonville winner will face
either No. 13 Lincoln-SJ (24-2) or No. 4
North Salinas (18-9).
South City went undefeated in capturing the
PAL Lake Division title, but that means little
to CCS. The Warriors were seeded last, No. 16,
and will face No. 1 Wilcox (21-8).
The winner of that game will face the win-
ner of No. 9 Salinas (13-14) and No. 8
Homestead (18-9).
Division II holds the greatest number of
county teams with four. In addition to
Capuchino and Menlo, Half Moon Bay and
Sacred Heart Prep also made the eld.
Half Moon Bay (13-14) was one of a few
teams to qualify despite having an overall los-
ing record. The Cougars received the No. 11
seed and will be on the road to take on No. 6
St. Francis CCC-Watsonville (16-8) in the
rst round Wednesday.
That will winner will play the winner of No.
14 Stevenson (16-9) or No. 3 Aptos (13-12).
SHP (15-13) received the No. 9 seed and
will face off against Branham (16-14) in San
Jose Wednesday. The winner gets either NO.
16 St. Lawrence (15-4) or No. 1 Pacic Grove
(19-6).
All first-round games begin at 4 p.m.

Sandoval connected for his third home run
with two outs in the fth, his rst since
April 13 against the Rockies. He has strug-
gled so far in a contract year.
Aday after San Francisco was shut out 5-0
its second shutout in ve games and
went 0 for 6 with runners in scoring posi-
tion and stranded nine, the Giants jumped on
Turner right away.
Vogelsong allowed ve hits, struck out at
least six for the third time in four May outings,
and walked one for his second win of the sea-
son. His other victory came May 3 at Atlanta
and the right-hander stayed optimistic.
Sandoval has raised his average to .220 by
hitting .389 during a nine-game hitting streak.
Mark Jackson
joins ESPN's NBA team
NEW YORK Former Golden State
Warriors coach Mark Jackson has agreed to
a multiyear deal to rejoin ESPN's lead NBA
announcing team.
Jackson is scheduled to work the Eastern
Conference nals and NBA Finals with Mike
Breen and Jeff Van Gundy. They called the last of
their ve straight NBAFinals together in 2011.
ESPN is made the announcement Saturday.
Jackson then went straight from TV t o
coaching and led the Warriors to the play-
offs the last two seasons. But he was red
earlier this month after Golden State went
51-31 and lost to the Los Angeles Clippers
in the rst round. The Warriors have hired
Steve Kerr, another analyst without coach-
ing experience.
USFs Grant Goodman
takes loss in nal start of 14
SAN FRANCISCO Former Burlingame
right-hander Grant Goodman likely wrapped
up his freshman season at USF on a down
note, taking the loss as the Dons fell to UC
Santa Barbara 10-4 Friday at Benedetti
Diamond.
The outing was the rst Friday start of
Goodmans collegiate career.
Goodman lasted 2 1/3 innings for his
shortest appearance of the year, allowing
six runs (three earned) on three hits while
striking out two against three walks and a
hit batsman.
The true freshman is 3-5 with a 4.55 ERA
while holding opposing batters to a .239
batting average.
USF (25-28) closes its regular season
Monday, hosting Cal at 2 p.m. The Golden
Bears downed the Dons 1-0 April 29 at
Evans Diamond with Goodman taking the
complete-game loss after surrendering one
run on three hits.

oster care and foster homes
are common terms when used
to describe children, but how
about pets? Our shelter and most that
I know of are almost always recruit-
ing foster volunteers willing to give
weeks to a few months of their time.
To understand what they do and why
they are needed, start with this: most
shelters are busy places. They can be
noisy, crowded and overwhelming for
animals. Even the very best of shel-
ters we like to think our Center
for Compassion in Burlingame is the
cats meow can still be stressful
places for animals. The kinds of ani-
mals who benet from spending time
in a foster volunteers home fall into
four main categories. In some cases,
we have animals who are under the
weather or recovering from injuries.
Avolunteer can provide a quiet,
stress-free home. In other cases, ani-
mals exhibit a particular behavior
preventing them from being adopted.
Take a young, exuberant dog who
just wants to love and jump up on
everyone he meets. Or, the dog who
pulls like mad when out on walks. A
few weeks of focused training in a
home setting with a skilled volunteer
make a world of difference. We have
other animals dogs and cats
who dont have a particular medical
condition or behavioral issue, but we
can tell they are simply stressed and
having a difcult time coping in our
shelter environment. Lastly, there
are kittens who are eating on their
own, yet still a little too young to be
adopted. They spend a few weeks in a
foster volunteers home, then return
to the shelter where they are quickly
adopted. Foster volunteers willing to
open their home and hearts and give
their time to help one special needs
case are essential for most shelters.
The benet of seeing that animal turn
around nd a forever home makes
many of them take on additional
cases.

Bros. and Legendary Pictures had the
second-largest debut of the year this
weekend with $93.2 million, according
to studio estimates Sunday.
Godzilla trails Disney-Marvels
Captain America: The Winter Soldier,
which opened with $95 million in April,
and sits just above The Amazing Spider-
Man 2, which debuted with $91.6 mil-
lion this month.
Paying homage to the 60-year-old
franchise in tone and spectacle, the
latest iteration continues the legend
of 1954 Japanese original Ishiro
Hondas Gojira. Reviews of the
film were positive it earned a
fresh rating from review aggrega-
tor RottenTomatoes.com, with 72
percent of film critics responding
positively.
Legendary Pictures President Jon
Jashni said the lm did better than
expected partly because it was starting
to get sampled even by those who did-
nt think it would necessarily be for
them. They didnt have nostalgic feel-
ings for it. He said friends or family
members likely recommended the
movie to those viewers.
Jashni added that the success of
Godzilla is validating after last
years Pacic Rim and Jack the Giant
Slayer performed below expectations
for the Warner-Legendary team.
The film, directed by Gareth
Edwards, also helped eliminate the
bad memory of another of the fran-
chises remakes, Roland Emmerichs
Godzilla, released in 1998 and
starring Matthew Broderick. Backed
by Sony, the film opened with $44
mi l l i on.

they want to bring branches of their
charter schools to Redwood City to help
students struggling in public schools in
the area.
To me, one of the things thats real-
ly special about KIPP, not only a focus
on academics, is the development of our
whole child, said Andrea Ballard, who
is on KIPPs board of directors, during a
public hearing focused on hearing the
communitys thoughts on the schools
Wednesday night. We are very much
looking forward to collaborating with
you (the school board) and building
deep roots in Redwood City. We look
forward to offering an additional high-
quality option in Redwood City. Our
mission is to serve the low-income stu-
dents and prepare them for a life of suc-
cess thats full of choices.
Conversely, the Redwood City
Teachers Association issued a statement
in opposition to the two charters, not-
ing the district has proven academically
successful programs which enrich stu-
dents but are currently unavailable to all
students.
The Redwood City Teachers
Association believes that poor kids,
English learners and children of color
do not deserve a lower quality of educa-
tion than rich kids, the association
wrote in a statement. The [a]ssocia-
tion believes that the Redwood City
[Elementary] School District has the
proven ability to provide the same
enriched programs to all students which
are now only provided to a few. The
[a]ssociation is opposing the granting
of charters to Rocketship Education and
KIPP. We urge the district to deny the
charters.
What KIPP is proposing is a K-8
school with 100 students per grade,
although the campus would initially
open with just a few grade levels and
then add more over time, said Sierra
Jenkins, director of development and
communications at Innovate Public
Schools. Rocketship wants to start a K-
5 school with about 80 to 100 students
in each grade, but would likely begin
with grades K-4. For KIPP, a high
school could also be in the works down
the line.
Opposition
Some are strongly against the char-
ters and say that they might not actual-
ly have additional funding and are try-
ing to take resources from the district
by actively pursuing parents at the
lower performing schools to leave their
neighborhood schools.
Teachers spoke out against the new
charters, including Kevin Sugar, an
eighth-grade teacher at Hoover
Elementary School.
This brings a lot of questions to
mind, like the unintended consequences
of charters, he said. These schools are
not unionized. Why cant our own pub-
lic schools put nances together and do
things like have extended school days
on their own? If its privatization of
public schools, we need to take a second
look at it. I cant help but ask, why
now?
District staff member Maria Stockton
asked what the intention is for stafng
charter schools.
Will you layoff our employees, or
will they remain school district
employees? The feedback Ive gotten
hasnt been positive for Rocketship.
Theres been declining performance (at
Rocketship) and language prociency
has plunged. Many schools in our
district have achievements and awards,
she said.
Support
Others came out in support of the
charters, including a charter school stu-
dent, Bella Aguilar, a freshman at
Everest Public High School.
Im a supporter of both schools,
she said. These schools are necessary.
My dream is for all kids, no matter how
far behind they are, they get that same
education.
Local leaders, including Teri Chin,
manager of Fair Oaks Community
Center, told the board to take a serious
look at the charters.
I understand its a challenging task,
Chin said. Im moved by the number of
parents who still want more options;
that really struck me. We need to listen
and take that very seriously in our con-
siderations.
Former San Jose mayor Ron
Gonzales, a KIPP board member, said it
is very a data-driven group.
At KIPP, we focus on the children
that are most often forgotten, he said.
We want to join the partnership. We all
are here for the same purpose: to move
toward high school and college gradua-
tion and the focus is on helping Latino
children so theyre the future leaders of
Silicon Valley.
Board reaction
After the meeting, board members
said they were happy to have such much
public comment almost three hours
worth at the meeting. Board Vice
President Dennis McBride, said one
mistake the board made was not having
the two charters public hearings on sep-
arate nights.
Alot of parents had left, so every par-
ent that came would have been heard [if
the meetings were on separate nights],
he said. I think everybody comes
believing their view is the only view
and everybody is entitled to their view.
The district continues to be one with
schools of choice that accommodate
pre-K through fth-grade, middle
schools and pre-K through eighth-grade
and other grade congurations, said
Trustee Alisa MacAvoy. It also has
schools offering parent participation,
Spanish and English bilingual educa-
tion, project based learning and
Connect Charter School.
I very much appreciated hearing
from the speakers and many stayed for
the whole public hearing which went
late into the evening, she wrote in an
email. The board is reviewing the char-
ter applications and at future board
meetings will have discussion and take
action to approve or deny the charter
school petitions according to the rules
and regulations set forward for charter
schools in California.
The district has up to 60 days to make
a decision on the two charters. The next
meetings to discuss and take action on
the charter petitions will be in June.

the grant focused on the two higher which require less
charge times but cost more. For example, while a level one
needs eight to 12 hours to charge, level two takes three to
four hours and level three needs only 30 minutes.
Level one stations didnt qualify for the Bay Area Air
Quality Management District grants funded by the energy
commission but the commission in February considered
looking at them because they are cheaper and could use the
citys existing electrical outlets. The city dismissed the
idea of installing stations in the parking garage serving
City Hall, the library and adult community center complex
because it is already short 245 parking spaces. Instead, the
possibility is now moved to Laurel Street.
Alevel one EV stations cost is nominal and it requires
little more than an existing electrical outlet, Walter said.
On Laurel Street, especially the rst three blocks from
San Carlos Avenue, there are outlets used for lights during
the Christmas holiday season so placing charging sta-
tions there would require careful conguring, Walter said.
At Tuesdays commission meeting, the members will
discuss ways of making the level one EVstations a reality
for the city and whether to recommend doing so to the City
Council.
The commission could also recommend seeking a level
two station and going after the grant money after securing
council approval of the matching funds.

Commission meets 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 20 at City Hall,

requirements, said Councilman
Pradeep Gupta.
But the FlightCar people assured
us that they will work with our city
st aff in working out a mutually
acceptable way of dealing with
existing zoning and making proper
busi ness arrai gnment s wi t h t he
city so there are no surprises down
the line, he said. It was not nec-
essary to make a moratorium. Most
of us are very encouraging to inno-
vation in the city. Its an evolving
thing and we will see how current
discussions with FlightCar go on.
Fl i ght Car, an ai rport -ori ent ed
business that allows people to rent
out their personal cars, announced
May 7 it had moved the business to
240 Dollar Ave. in South San
Francisco, a temporary location on
the west side of Highway 101 the
startup is renting while it awaits
completion of permanent space in
the city. The temporary facility fits
10 vehicles. It plans to move to a
location on Canal Street in South
San Francisco. City officials had
concerns about the startups reputa-
tion and the fact FlightCar opened
before its business license was
completed. A license was granted
this week.
No motion was made for vote
after an hour and half discussion of
the item at the Wednesday night
council meeting, but there may be
more studies on the matter,
Garbarino said.
Back i n November 2013,
Millbrae city officials pulled the
companys conditional use permit
because of reported issues includ-
ing three FlightCar rentals being
stolen since the company moved
into the 14,159-square-foot 480 El
Camino Real site on two parcels of
the former Daland Nissan. Other
issues included unapproved electri-
cal generator use, fire hazards and
not mai nt ai ni ng t he l andscape.
Lawsuits on both sides followed the
revocation.
Im concerned about what has
happened in Burlingame and
Millbrae it (FlightCar) hasnt
received glowing reports, Mayor
Karyl Matsumoto said previously.
For me it sends up a cautionary
signal to go carefully. I want to
hear from FlightCar questions
will be posed. We havent taken
any punitive response to why they
were operating illegally.
At the same time, FlightCars
attorney Oliver Lock Holmes,
sai d Fl i ght Car i s cont i nui ng t o
work with the city and staff.
We frankly think with the coop-
eration we have we will be able to
go forward with a longer-term
space, he said.
The Pl anni ng Di vi si on has
recently received two applications,
one from FlightCar and another
from an airport car rental company
called Silvercar, that would have
been affected by the interim ordi-
nance.
The interim urgency ordinance
would have established a 45-day
moratorium on the issuance of use
permits, building permits or any
ot her appl i cabl e ent i t l ement for
aut omobi l e/ vehi cl e rent al uses,
including car sharing uses, city-
wide and for private parking uses in
designated zones, west of Highway
101.
The recent proliferation of shar-
ing uses has highlighted the facet
that the citys land use regulations
were not developed to address
unique aspects of sharing uses, a
st aff report states. As business
models expand and such uses
become hybrids of car rental/car
sharing/parking uses, there is an
increased likelihood for such use to
be located in an area where unfore-
seen land use impacts could result
where such uses were not previous-
ly envisioned.
The immediate concern was that
private parking lots are permitted
by right within a large portion of
the El Camino Real corridor and
within neighborhood commercial
centers, according to the report.
In recent years the city has
undergone si gni fi cant effort s t o
creat e zoni ng regul at i ons t hat
encourage El Camino Real to be
developed as a higher-densi t y,
mixed-use corridor that serves
pedestrians and bicycles as well as
automobiles, it stated. While pri-
vate parking uses and car sharing
may be appropriate within these
settings, the city may want to cre-
ate more specific standards, such as
a maximum number of car sharing
spaces allowed in a single develop-
ment. In current form, the citys
regulations are too broad to deal
with the intricacies of the various
car sharing models.
Currently, car sharing is not a
term or use classification that is
specifically defined in the citys
zoning ordinance. However,
because it is similar in character to
the citys definition of car rental
uses, the chief planner has
assigned car sharing uses to the car
rental use classification. The city
feared the establishment of new car
rental uses, car sharing uses and
private parking uses may adversely
affect the citys ability to promote
the highest and best use of proper-
t y. These services could result in
threats to public health, safety and
welfare, according to the report.
Fl i ght Cars primary service is
renting out peoples cars through
its website while traveling, giving
them a share of the proceeds, free
airport parking and a car wash in
exchange. Customers are taken by
limousine from a nearby airport
parking lot to their flights at the
San Franci sco Int ernat i onal
Airport, while the business says
renters get a cheaper price.

Hillsdale #3 with another 300 hous-
es would be started immediately. The
274-acre K.O. Grady Laurel Creek
Stock Farm (area near the county
medical center on West 30th Avenue)
was purchased in 1946. Hillsdale #4,
extending north to 27th Avenue and
west to Monterey Street, was begun
in January 1947, followed by #5 and
#6. The price had increased consider-
abl y, now in the $12, 000 to
$20,000 range. In addition to the
new homes being built, over 500
"garden style apartments were built
on both sides of Hillsdale
Boulevard.
To complete his overall plan for
his development, a $600,000 store
on his 42-acre site at Hillsdale was
begun. The Mayfair Market (origi-
nally Andrew Williams) was remod-

were begun to complement this
supermarket. By 1970, the Hillsdale
Shopping Center had more than 150
stores in it and was considered the
finest shopping center on the

DILBERT CROSSWORD PUZZLE
CRANKY GIRL
PEARLS BEFORE SWINE
GET FUZZY
MONDAY, MAY 19, 2014
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You will be enticed
by the latest gossip, but if you repeat it, you will lose
credibility. Dont waste valuable time on stressful
details. Stay focused on what is most important.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Embrace intellectual
challenges. If you check out the latest technology, it
could help generate some ideas. You can use your
quest for knowledge to increase your hiring potential.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You need to take
control of your finances and get back on budget.
Its time to clear up any debts and collect any
money that is owed to you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Physical and social activities
are highlighted. Mix both by joining a gym or tness
club. You will meet new people and improve your
health at the same time.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Pamper the ones you
love. Be considerate and helpful to those in need. Your
behavior toward others will strengthen your ties to
them and ensure assistance when you need it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) You can use your
discipline and determination to overcome any
recently acquired bad habits. By concentrating on a
healthy diet and regular exercise, you will soon be
back in fighting form.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) There may be some
mixed messages coming your way. You should delay
making any important decisions. Be wary of anyone
who could mislead you or harbor ulterior motives.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Sometimes it is
easier to talk with friends than with family. If you are
having issues with a loved one, wait until the home
situation is more relaxed before making suggestions.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could use
a vacation. Make room in your budget for a short
getaway. Its the perfect time to relax and enjoy your
own company or that of a loved one.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Dont keep your
opinions bottled up. Your ideas are as important as
anyone elses. You can win over even a stubborn
opponent if you make your point persuasively.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) You could be in for a
rude awakening if you lend money to someone you
dont know that well. Consider the reason behind the
request, and dont be fooled by false attery.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Children or elderly
relatives will provide a happy diversion from tedious
problems. The most meaningful relationships involve
common interests. Increase your circle of friends by
participating in many things.

D
id you know that 30 million Americans
suffer from back and neck pain every
day?
Sciatica and herniated discs are often
misunderstood. They can cause pain and
numbness in the back, neck, legs, and feet. This
pain affects everything that you do, from work
to play, and ultimately your quality of life. We
are here to tell you that there is hope. We have
the technology and experience to help you fnd
relief from sciatica and back pain. At Bay Area
Disc Centers, we have helped thousands of pain
sufferers just like you. We offer only the most
advanced non-surgical treatments.
Are pain pills effective, long-term solutions
when dealing with Sciatica and Back Pain?
ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Until now, people have masked their pain
by frequently taking prescription pain pills.
This type of pain relief is temporary. Often
these treatments lead to even more health
problems or worse yet addiction. Many people
innocently fall into abusing prescription pain
pills while initially using them to alleviate real,
constant pain.
Is Surgery the Answer?
It is true that surgery may be the answer for
certain types of back injuries. When considering
your options, ask yourself this question
If there is a solution to back pain that doesnt
require surgery, is it worth exploring?
The Solution: TDC
TM
Therapy
TDC TherapyTraction Decompression
Combined Therapyis a proven treatment
exclusive to Disc Centers of America doctors
for the relief of neck and lower back pain. By
utilizing traction thats isolated to the spinal
segment involved, the purpose is to create
spinal decompression as a result to specifc
traction.
TDC Therapy offers a signifcant success rate
and patients have experienced dramatic pain
relief and healing. This non surgical solution
is changing the way doctors treat severe disc
conditions. TDC Therapy is a unique and
innovative approach for the relief of neck and
lower back syndromes, including:
Herniated or buging discs
De-generative disc disease
Posterior facet syndrome
Spina Stenosis
Sciatica
TDC Therapy is non surgical and non invasive.
It is a gentle form of traction and disc
decompression. The treatment is not only safe,
but also comfortable and relaxing. The goal is
symptomatic relief and structural correction.
How Does TDC
TM
Therapy Work?
TDC Therapy can isolate a specifc vertebra
and distract the vertebrae surrounding an
injured disc 5 to 7 millimeters. TDC Therapy
treatment isolates the specifc vertebrae that
are causing the pain. The 25 to 30 minute
treatment provides static, intermittent,
and cycling forces on structures that may
be causing back pain. Negative pressure
promotes the diffusion of water, oxygen, and
nutrients into the vertebral disc area, thereby
re-hydrating the degenerated disc. Repeated
pressure differential promotes retraction of a
herniated nucleus pulposus.
The TDC Therapy treatment works to reduce
pressure on the vertebral joints,promote
retraction of herniated discs, and promote self
healing and rehabilitation of damaged discs,
thereby relieving neck or lower back pain.
