DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Opponents of developing Petes
Harbor into hundreds of waterfront
housing units will get another turn
before the City Council tonight
when they ask to overturn the
revamped projects latest approval
earlier this year.
City staff is recommending the
council deny the appeal and let
stand the required permits based on
the ndings and conditions of the
revised 2003 environmental
impact report created for the now-
defunct Marina Shores Village
which aimed to develop the same
area.
But opponents argue the envi-
ronmental document is not ade-
quate for the new project which
calls for 411 condominiums, park-
ing, trails and a commercial mari-
na with public berths. At the Feb.
4 Planning Commission meeting

With work on the Burlingame
Streetscape underway on the 1400
block of Burlingame Avenue, store
owners have mixed feelings about
the effects of the construction on
their businesses.
When construction for the down-
town beautication project rst
began in April 2013, reduced park-
ing, fewer patrons and a torn-up
street were among the complaints
from business owners. Currently,
construction workers are digging up
the 1400 block between Primrose
Road and El Camino Real as part of
the project to widen the sidewalks
and update landscaping. The 1200
block has already been completed
and the construction is expected to
be completed on time.
At 1406 Burlingame Ave., Fiori
ower shops manager Lindsey
Ainsworth said sales have denitely
been down since construction
began on the stores block.
I worked a nine-hour day on
Wednesday and not one person
walked in the door, she said.
The owner of Le Croissant Caf at
1407 Burlingame Ave., Calvin
Wang, said hes seen the effects of
the construction and may have to
sell the shop if business does not
improve.
Rent is going up, Wang said.
Theres no way I can suffer more.
Others like Craig Stoll, owner of
the recently opened Pizzeria Delna
at 1444 Burlingame Ave., said its
hard to tell the effects of the con-
struction on his business.
The answer is I dont know, he
said. We had a week or two of his-
tory before the streetscape. I do
think wed be a hell of a lot busier
for lunch and dinner if the street
were open. We will have better busi-
ness overall [when its nished].
Im not complaining.

When former Supreme Court jus-
tice Sandra Day OConnor inter-
viewed at a private law rm one
of the few to even consider a
female after her 1952 graduation
she was a bit confused by one
question.
Ms. Day, how well do you
type?
OConnor told the audience
inducting her into the San Mateo
County Womens Hall of Fame on
Friday night she wasnt sure. Her
typing was fair but not excel-
lent. But if it was good, the inter-
viewer at the Los Angeles firm
said, he could get her a job as a
legal secretary.
OConnor passed, instead secur-
ing a job with the San Mateo
County District Attorneys Ofce
which put her on the road to being
the first woman named to the
United States Supreme Court in
1981 and more than 60 years after
that rst step nding a permanent
place of honor in the countys
Womens Hall of Fame.
OConnor was honored, along
with two other inductees and a
young woman of excellence,
Friday night inside the historic
county courthouse the same
chamber where she practiced with-
out pay and using a shared desk
with secretaries after then-district
attorney Keith Sorenson accepted
the woman who graduated top of
her class at Stanford Law School.
The job was better than those
held by classmates at private rms

Event challenges eaters
with 20-foot bratwursts
YPSILANTI, Mich. A fundrais-
ing event for childrens art in
Michigan has pitted participants
with big appetites against 20-foot-
long bratwursts that weigh close to
6 pounds.
Twelve competitors and hundreds
of onlookers turned out Thursday
night for the Wurst Challenge, rais-
ing about $7,000 for the FLY
Childrens Art Center.
Jesse Kranyak is a co-owner of
The Wurst Bar and says he was excit-
ed to host the event at his restau-
rant.
He says the restaurant contributed
the bratwursts, two of them vegetar-
ian and the others pork and beef
mixes. New Holland Brewing Co.
donated a keg. Blogger Mark
Maynard helped organize.
The proceeds benefit FLYs
Creativity Lab in Ypsilanti, a city of
19, 000 t hat s home to Eastern

Among the brat-biting competi-
tors were Mayor Paul Schreiber and
university President Susan Martin.
Circus elephants escape,
damage parking lot cars
ST. CHARLES, Mo. Authorities
say three elephants escaped from
their handlers at a circus near St.
Louis and damaged several vehicles
in the parking lot before they were
recaptured.
Television station KMOV reports
that the female elephants escaped
from the the childrens ride section
of the Moolah Shrine Circus at the
Family Arena in St. Charles.
TV station KSDK says the circus
issued a statement saying the han-
dlers were able to occupy the ani-
mals and that they are now resting
comfortably in their compound at
this time.
Police say that the animals also
damaged the venues loading door.
Hawaii board sends
nomination note to wrong person
HONOLULU A Hawaii agency
says it told the wrong man he was
nominated to the board of the
Hawaiian Homes Commission,
which manages land set aside for
Native Hawaiians.
Hawaii News Now reported
Thursday William Billy
Richardson was notified he was a
nominee, so he told all his friends
and started preparing for the confir-
mation process.
But state Boards and Commission
Manager Jayson Muraki says a con-
firmation email was inadvertently
sent to the wrong Wi l l i am
Richardson.
The letter should have gone to the
William Richardson who heads a
venture capital firm and is the son of
a former Hawaii Supreme Court jus-
tice.
Renwick Tassill of the Hawaiian
Homes Commission says the mix-up
shows the state places a low priority
on Hawaiian issues.
Muraki says the agency is work-
ing to ensure it doesnt happen
again.

HALF MOON BAY A 67-
year-old bicyclist died after
being struck by a car in Half
Moon Bay on Friday evening,
San Mateo County sheriffs offi-
cials said.
At about 5:30 p.m. deputies
responded to reports of a colli-
sion and learned that the bicy-
clist had been traveling north in
the bicycle trail along Highway
1 when he was struck by a Honda
while crossing Filbert Street,
sheriffs spokeswoman Deputy
Rebecca Rosenblatt said.
Deputies also found that the
driver of the Honda fled the
scene, according to Rosenblatt.
The bicyclist suffered serious
injuries in the crash and was air-
lifted to an area hospital, where
he died, Rosenblatt said. His
identity has not yet been
released.
The driver of the Honda, later
identified as 23-year-old
Bernabe Cervantes-Alvarado of
Half Moon Bay, turned himself
in to the Half Moon Bay sher-
iffs substation later that night.
Cervantes-Alvarado was arrest-
ed on suspicion of hit-and-run
resulting in injuries, and booked
into the San Mateo County jail.
He remains in custody in lieu of
$50,000 bail.
The crash is still under investi-
gation and its possible addi-
tional charges will be filed
against Cervantes-Alvarado
when the case is submitted to the
San Mateo County District
Attorneys Office, Rosenblatt
said.
Anyone who may have infor-
mation about the crash is asked
to contact Deputy Hui or Deputy
Cheechov at (650) 363-4911 .

Thank you thank
you thank you.
This is what I hear
over and over, year
after year, from
families that we
serve. Either
verbally or in hand-written cards or letters
families say thank you: Thank for your
help; Thank you for all you have done to
make this process easier; Thank you for
making this final tribute to my mother one
which will be fondly remembered; Thank
you for your advice; Thank you for being
there for us at a time we needed you most;
Thank you for making it all easy for us;
Thank you for being a friend, etc. To hear
Thank you time and time again is a
confirmation for me that our Chapel of the
Highlands crew is doing their best to serve
families whove been through a death, in an
appropriate and professional manner, and
that we are doing the right thing in caring
for families during a difficult situation, in
turn making it more of a comfort for them.
Normally saying Youre welcome is
the correct response. Youre welcome, or
You are welcome, can be taken a number
of different ways. Generally it means you
are always a welcome guest. It can also be
taken as a blessing meaning you wish
wellness on the person who thanked you.
Wishing wellness or health to anyone is a
nice gesture. In recent years though we all
have witnessed the term Youre welcome
being substituted with Thank you back at
the person who is doing the thanking. This
is OK, but saying Youre welcome first
is taken as a hospitable and warm gesture.
Now that Thank you and Youre
welcome have been established, I would
like to say thank you back to the families we
serve: Thank you for supporting the Chapel
of the Highlands. Thank you for your
faithful patronage. Because of you we have
been able to continue with our high
standards and excellent level of service for
many years, since 1952. Thank you to those
families who weve helped so many times in
the past. Thank you to the new families
whove discovered that we offer them
respect and provide the dignified care that
their loved one deserves.
Your support, and the continued interest
from the community in our service, is what
keeps us going strong and available when
we are needed. Our costs have always been
considered fair, and the funds taken in for
our services are also very much appreciated.
Those Chapel of the Highlands funds along
with our support sifts back to the community
in different ways. Donations to local causes,
along with the donation of time through
membership in service organizations such as
Lions, I.C.F., Historical Society, Chamber
of Commerce, etc. is natural for us. Giving
back as a volunteer via these groups helps in
binding us with our neighbors, together
creating a better community for the future.
All in all there are many ways to say
Thank you. Doing so in a variety of ways
can create a circle of gratitude, in turn
making our community a better place.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

After 15 years as the executive
director of Burlingame nonprot
CALL Primrose, Mary Watt has
stepped down to tend to her health.
Watt, a
Redwood City
native and cur-
rent San Carlos
resident, took
over in 1999 as
executive direc-
tor of the
o rga ni z a t i on
that provides
food and other
assistance to
low-income individuals and fami-
lies from San Bruno down to San
Carlos. CALL Primrose started as a
telephone and information referral
service on Primrose Road in 1983.
With Watt, it has grown from dis-
tributing 4,000 bags of food per
year to close to 40,000 bags.
Every single day was different,
said Watt, 57. I got to work with
so many wonderful people. I went
into work with the expectation I
never knew what was going to
happen.
Watt, who has been married for
40 years, has two sons and one
granddaughter. She is now going
into retirement to work on xing
the neck and back issues shes had
for years.
Im getting a lot of rest and
enjoying reading and doing gentle
physical activity, said Watt, who
holds a masters in public adminis-
tration from Notre Dame de Namur
University. I like to write poetry,
play piano, compose, travel and
listen to music. The key is really
pacing myself way slower.
Asearch for a successor of the 30-
year-old organization will take
place over the next several months.
I really encouraged them to try
to take an interim and stabilize,
she said. Set a vision before pick-
ing someone who is a dynamic
person for that vision. The face
of hunger in the county is different
than it was different than 30 years
ago.
For now, Terri Boesch is acting
as the interim ofce manager.
My biggest hope is that it stays
being a place that matches the
abundance of resources we have in
the community with the folks that
need it, Watt said.
For many years, Watt said she
worried about if the center would
have enough resources. She said
she doesnt regret worrying too
much about things she didnt need
to worry about after all since it was
a learning experience. In her own
life, she said over the years she
wishes she had remembered to say
thank you more often.
I hope everybody knows I
appreciated everything they did,
she said.
There are pluses and minuses
having the organization in
Burlingame. One positive is easy
access from public transit, while a
negative is that its hard to access
by car, she said.
The house its in is 100 years
old, she said. Its held a much
bigger volume [of supplies] than
anyone ever dreamed. People like
that it looks like a home because
its welcoming.
She hopes it will continue into
the future and be able to offer even
more students an opportunity to
complete community service
hours
at the center.
Students get treated like adults
and have an opportunity to give
back in a warm, welcoming set-
ting, she said. They get to see
that not everyone has enough.
They can come in and feel like they
really made a difference. Thats the
real magic and blessing of it.
Those involved in the organiza-
tion have praised Watt for her work.
Mary always goes above and
beyond to help others, said vol-
unteer Annette Alioto in a press
release. She is the most seless
person I know, but she has strong
boundaries. Everything is done by
the book, and everyone is treated
fairly and equally. I love watching
the way she approaches and inter-
acts with people. We have all
learned a lot from her.
In fact, in 2013, she was named
Burlingame Lions Club Citizen of
the Year.
Of Watts time at CALL
Primrose, one of her favorite mem-
ories was in 2008 when within an
hour of news of a burglary at the
center, donations were ying in
the door from the Lions Club and
Burlingame Police Department.
The whole community just ral-
lied around us immediately, she
said. They came to help us out.
The community is so good to
CALL Primrose.

state, now at 38 million residents,
continues to grow beyond the
capacity of a water storage and
delivery system that was mostly
completed in the late 1960s.
This winter is among the driest
on record, forcing some communi-
ties to ration water and leading
farmers to fallow thousands of
acres that otherwise would be pro-
ducing vegetables, fruits and nuts
for the nation.
The state Legislature is expect-
ed to debate water storage
options later this year as it seeks
compromise on a multibillion
dollar water bond for the
November ballot. But
Californias congressional dele-
gation has provided a jumpstart.
Bills proposed in Congress
would authorize a number of proj-
ects to expand or create reser-
voirs. Among the projects are
raising the dam at Shasta Lake to
store more water in Californias
largest reservoir, creating a new
reservoir in the Sierra Nevada
along the upper San Joaquin River
east of Fresno and damming a val-
ley north of Sacramento.
Other storage options include
expanding the dams at the San
Luis Reservoir in the central part
of the state and at Los Vaqueros
Reservoir in the eastern San
Francisco Bay Area.
Authorizing such projects
through federal legislation would
be a prerequisite for dedicating
money to a project in the future.
Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein
said those who oppose new or
expanded dams are hoping that
doing so will deter growth and devel-
opment, but its a losing battle.
Growth comes anyway, she
said in a telephone interview with
The Associated Press. Then you
dont have enough water.
Feinstein acknowledges that
conservation also is critical to
meeting the states water needs but
said some new or expanded reser-
voirs must be allowed so more
water can be captured during wet
years and stored for use during the
dry ones.

Family of teen killed
in 2012 resolve lawsuit
REDWOOD CITY The family
of a 14-year-old Redwood City girl
killed in a trafc accident while rid-
ing her bicycle in 2012 said
Saturday they have resolved a
wrongful death claim from the inci-
dent, according to their lawyer.
The girl, Leyla Beban, was riding
her bicycle to school on Nov. 26,
2012 when a pickup truck collided
with her in Redwood City, accord-
ing to her familys attorney Gary
Brustin.
The family later led a wrongful
death claim, which has been
resolved and the terms are conden-
tial, according to Brustin.
The lawyer did not disclose to
whom the wrongful death claim was
made.
Leylas family members wanted
to set the record straight with the
lawsuit and conduct their own
investigation into the accident
after being disappointed with the
Redwood City police investiga-
tion, according to Brustin.
Leyla was on her way to school
that day when she was hit by a
vehicle at Jefferson Avenue and
Alameda De Las Pulgas at about
8:30 a.m., according to Redwood
City police.
The Woodside High School fresh-
man and the driver of the vehicle
were both turning right onto
Alameda de las Pulgas from east-
bound Jefferson Avenue, police said.
Leyla was taken to Stanford
Hospital, where she died from her
injuries, police said.
Redwood City police said Leyla
was wearing her helmet at the time
of the collision and the driver of
the vehicle stopped at the scene and
cooperated with police.
The girls family has created a
non-profit in her memory, the
Leyla Beban Young Authors
Foundation, that holds writing
competitions to award scholar-
ships and prizes to promising
young writers and supports writing
classes for underserved communi-
ties, according to Brustin.
Delta solar farm
plan dies amid red tape
STOCKTON A plan to build a
solar farm atop unused farmland in
the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta
has died after ofcials decided the site
should be kept for agricultural use.
Michael Robinsons idea to build
a 120-acre solar farm atop salty,
poor quality soil died after the San
Joaquin County Board of
Supervisors voted against giving
the project more time for planning,
according to the Stockton Record.
The same board approved the
project in January 2012.
Since the projects approval, two
more state agencies had raised con-
cerns that would have required more
time and costly review.
The Delta Protection
Commissions executive director
Erik Vink says the solar farm was
not consistent with the commis-
sions plan to keep agriculture as
the areas main land use.
The property was also under the
Williamson Act, which requires
that it remain in agriculture and the
countys general plan states that
Delta projects must be related to
water, recreation or agriculture.
Robinsons father, a longtime
grower in the area, said with water
issues affecting farming in the
Delta, other uses for the land should
be considered.
If we dont have water here
shortly, and there is no water to
irrigate in the Delta, is (agriculture)
still worth protecting that vehe-
mently, or are there other avenues
to go? he said.
But Vink said the land to be used
for the solar farm can still be
farmed, meaning its conversion to
another use was not in compliance
with the commissions plan.
The information we had indicat-
ed the property had been farmed and
continued to be farmed, Vink said.
DMV: No evidence of
computer breach
The California Department of
Motor Vehicles said Saturday there
is no evidence of a computer breach
that could affect credit-card users,
but its launching an investigation
out of an abundance of caution.
DMV spokesman Armando
Botello said the agency was alerted
by law enforcement to a potential
security breach within its online
credit-card processing systems.
There is no evidence at this time
of a direct breach of the DMVs
computer system, Botello said in
a statement.
But the agency has opened an
investigation, and its cooperating
with state and federal authorities.
As part of the probe, DMV will
review its systems and seek infor-
mation from the outside vendor
that processes credit-card transac-
tions and from credit-card compa-
nies.
KrebsOnSecurity.com, a website
that covers cyber-security prob-
lems, was the rst to report the
possible breach, which it says
involved online payments from
Aug. 2, 2013, to Jan. 31, 2014.
Seth Eisen, a spokesman from
MasterCard, said it was investigat-
ing reports of a potential breach at
the California DMV. MasterCards
own systems have not been
breached, Eisen said.

ARLINGTON, Wash. Searchers found
another body Sunday in the tangled sludge
of a massive landslide in rural Washington
state, bringing the death toll to at least four
from the wall of debris that swept through a
small riverside neighborhood.
At least 18 people remained missing,
though authorities warned that number
could grow. Late Saturday, rescuers heard
cries for help, and a day later, they heard
nothing.
The 1-square-mile mudslide that struck
Saturday morning also critically injured
several people and destroyed about 30
homes.
Crews were able to get to the muddy,
tree-strewn area after geologists flew over
in a helicopter and determined it was safe
enough for emergency responders and
technical rescue personnel to search for
possible survivors, Snohomish County
Fire District 21 Chief Travis Hots said
Sunday evening. They found the body
buried in the mud.
We didnt see or hear any signs of life
out there today, he said, adding that they
did not search the entire debris field, only
drier areas safe to traverse.
Despite that, Hots said crews were still
in a search and rescue mode. It has not
gone to a recovery mode at this time.
He said the search would continue until
nightfall, at which time conditions
become too dangerous.
Before crews could get onto the debris
field late Sunday morning, they looked for
signs of life by helicopter. Authorities
initially said it was too dangerous to send
rescuers out on foot.
Rescuers hopes of finding more sur-
vivors were buoyed late Saturday when
they heard people yelling for help, but
they were unable to reach anyone. The
soupy mud was so thick and deep that
searchers had to turn back.
We have this huge square-mile mud-
flow thats basically like quicksand,
Hots said Sunday.
The slide wiped through what neigh-
bors described as a former fishing vil-
lage of small homes some nearly 100
years old.
As the search for the missing contin-
ued, authorities said some may have been
able to get out on their own. The number
unaccounted for could change because
some people may have been in cars and on
roads when the slide hit just before 11
a.m. Saturday, Hots said.
Officials described the mudslide as a
big wall of mud and debris. It blocked
about a mile of State Route 530 near the
town of Oso, about 55 miles north of
Seattle. It was reported to be about 15 feet
deep in some areas.

WASHINGTON A week before a self-
imposed deadline for a review of National
Security Agency programs, President
Barack Obama sought Friday to assure lead-
ing Internet and tech executives that his
administration is committed to protecting
peoples privacy.
CEOs from Facebook, Google, Netix and
others spent more than two hours with
Obama in the Oval Ofce discussing their
concerns about NSA spying programs,
which have drawn outrage from tech compa-
nies whose data have been scooped up by
the government. Joining Obama and the
CEOs were Obamas commerce secretary,
homeland security adviser, and counselor
John Podesta, whom Obama has tasked with
leading a review of privacy and big data.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his
colleagues departed the White House with-
out speaking to reporters. The White House
said Obama gave the CEOs an update on the
big data review, which is examining the
complex and evolving relationship
between the government, its citizens and
their private information.
The president reiterated his administra-
tions commitment to taking steps that can
give people greater condence that their
rights are being protected while preserving
important tools that keep us safe, the
White House said in a statement.
Separate from the big data review, Obama
in January directed the government to devel-
op and present alternatives for who should
store the phone records from hundreds of
millions of Americans that the NSA holds.
Obama gave the Justice Department until
March 28 to report back, with an eye toward
eventually stripping the massive data col-
lection from the governments hands.
That review and other limits on secret
spying were prompted by disclosures from
former NSA systems analyst Edward
Snowden that enraged Internet companies
like Google when it was alleged that the
NSAhad secretly tapped into the main com-
munications links that connect Yahoo and
Google data centers around the world.
In the lead-up to Fridays meeting,
Zuckerberg took to his own Facebook page
to strongly condemn Obamas administra-
tion for its secret spying tactics, following
reports that the NSA had once used spoofs
of the social network to infect computers
with malware.

ISTANBUL Turkish ghter jets shot
down a Syrian warplane Sunday after it vio-
lated the countrys airspace, Turkeys prime
minister said, in a move likely to ramp up
tensions between two countries already
deeply at odds over Syrias civil war.
A spokesman for Syrias military con-
rmed the incident, denouncing it as a bla-
tant aggression. The unnamed spokesman
quoted on Syrian state TVsaid the plane was
hit while pursuing gunmen near the border,
and that the pilot safely ejected from the air-
craft.
Turkey, once an ally of Syria, has emerged
as one of the strongest critics of Syrian
President Bashar Assad and is now one of
the main backers of the 3-year-old rebellion
against him. Hostilities have ared along
the border on several occasions, although
the exchanges of re have generally been
brief and very limited in scope.
Despite the protestations from Syria,
there was little indication either side wanted
the confrontation to escalate.
In a statement, the Turkish military said a
Syrian MiG-23 entered Turkeys airspace
near the Hatay border zone after ignoring
four warnings to turn back. One of two
Turkish F-16s ying an air patrol in the area
then red a missile that struck the Syrian
jet, which crashed 1,200 meters (yards)
inside Syrian territory near the town of
Kassab, the military said.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip
Erdogan, speaking at a rally in northwest-
ern Turkey a week ahead of local elections,
congratulated the Turkish military.

KIEV, Ukraine A Ukrainian air force
commander is being held after his base in
Crimea was stormed by pro-Russian forces,
and the acting president called for his
release Sunday.
Col. Yuliy Mamchur is the commander of
the Belbek Air Force base near Sevastopol,
which was taken over Saturday by forces
who sent armored personnel carriers smash-
ing through the bases walls and red shots
and stun grenades. One Ukrainian service-
man was reported wounded in the clash. It
was unclear if the forces, who didnt bear
insignia, were Russian military or local
pro-Russia militia.
Ukraine President Oleksandr Turchynov,
in a statement, said Mamchur was abduct-
ed by the forces. He didnt specify where
Mamchur is believed to be held.
However, prominent politician Vitali
Klitschko said Sunday that Mamchur is
being held by the Russian military in a jail
in Sevastopol, the Crimean city that is the
base of Russias Black Sea Fleet.
Klitschko was one of the leaders of the
three months of protests in Ukraine that
culminated in late February with President
Viktor Yanukovych eeing the country and
interim authorities taking power before a
May 25 presidential election. The protests
were triggered by Yanukovychs decision to
reject a deal for closer ties with the
European Union and turn to Moscow
instead.
Yanukovychs ouster was denounced by
Russia and much of Ukraines ethnic
Russian population as a coup. Soon there-
after, Russian forces took control of Crimea
and the region held a referendum to break off
from Ukraine and join Russia.
Russia formally annexed Crimea last
week, a move that Western countries say is
illegitimate. The U.S. and the EU have
imposed sanctions on Russia in the dispute,
but Moscow appears unmoved.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands Nuclear ter-
rorism is ofcially the main topic for world
leaders at a two-day summit in the
Netherlands starting Monday. In practice,
the Ukraine crisis will likely overshadow
those talks.
The Nuclear Security Summit in the Hague
will form the backdrop for an emergency
meeting of Group of Seven leaders on
Russias annexation of Crimea. Its a con-
frontation between Russia and the West rem-
iniscent of the Cold War.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is not
attending, instead sending Foreign Minister
Sergey Lavrov, who is expected to hold
talks with U.S. Secretary of State John
Kerry.
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said the
events timing means world leaders can dis-
cuss Ukraine and Russia face to face.
I think these multilateral summits are an
excellent opportunity for world leaders to
discuss bilaterally and also amongst smaller
groups of countries various issues which are
high on their minds, Rutte told The
Associated Press.
But experts say frantic diplomacy focused
on Ukraine shouldnt divert from the goal of
better security of nuclear material.
International attention can turn in a
moment, said Deepti Choubey, a senior
director at the non-government Nuclear
Threat Initiative. The attentions of terror-
ists do not.
Delegations from 53 countries, including
the leaders of the U.S., China and Japan,
have started to arrive in the Hague. They
will meet to negotiate on reducing and secur-
ing supplies, and keeping them out of ter-
rorists hands. The G-7 includes the U.S.,
Britain, Germany, Japan, France, Italy and
Canada.
Notable absentees from the summit are
North Korea and Iran, excluded by mutual
consent.
The summit is the third since U.S.
President Barack Obama launched the series
in 2009 shortly after taking ofce, saying
that reducing the risk of a terrorist attack
with either a nuclear weapon or a dirty
bomb was one of his most important inter-
national policy goals.
Rutte agreed, saying that while progress
has been made, its not nearly enough.
He told reporters in The Hague that 146
nuclear incidents were reported to the
International Atomic Energy Agency last
year alone. Although they mainly were
about material that temporarily went miss-
ing, the possibility of a serious incident
continues to hang over us.
Because countries usually regard protect-
ing nuclear weapons and facilities as a con-
dential sovereign matter, the summits cen-
ter on individual commitments by partici-
pants and conclude with a non-binding
accord.

OPINION 9
Lost horizons
Editor,
This letter is in response to Sue
Lemperts column Building in San
Mateo (March 17 edition of the
Daily Journal). She points out, mat-
ter-of-factly, the many development
and building projects recently n-
ished, currently under construction
and planned or proposed for the near
future. She also mentions the Hines
ofce project on the former
Telecenter site. As a current employee
of Telecenter, I was very surprised to
read that my place of employment is
no longer. But I digress.
My main point, echoing others
who seem to be crying out to deaf
ears, is that (so-called) progress for
the sake of increased tax revenue, is
not really progress at all. We are los-
ing our sense of community and our
neighborhoods (AKA, quality of life)
to these transit villages and afford-
able apartments. Do not be swayed by
elected and appointed ofcials who
tout the benets of these income-pro-
ducing multi-million-dollar projects
as being good for San Mateo.
These cubicle-like dwellings dis-
courage interaction with neighbors
while encouraging solitude and dis-
connection with ones community.
The only true benet is additional
revenue to city coffers.
It is my opinion that San Mateo
has already reached and passed the
tipping point of charm and character
to what is already over-built and
unsustainable. Remember, you CAN
ght City Hall. Let them know how
you feel.

The coolest prez ever!
Editor,
This week I heard our president in
great detail discussing with ESPN hi s
NCAAbasketball brackets. The week
before he gave a funny interview
with the Hangover movies star
Zach Galianakis. Gosh, isnt he the
coolest prez ever? But maybe
Americans need to hear Mr. Obama
spend as much time talking to them
about the Russian invasion of the
Ukraine and the grabbing of Crimea
as he does about his nal four basket-
ball picks. Yes, Mr. Barack Obama
may be the coolest prez ever, but in
these days of international crisis, is
this what America really needs?

Letters to the editor
By Art Kiesel
I
n July and August of 2012, I
wrote about pension reform and
then in April and May of 2013, I
wrote again about California Public
Employees Retirement System con-
tributions. I am as concerned now as I
was then about the
escalation of
impending nancial
woes we will be
faced with in the
near future
unfunded pension
liabilities and the
lack of any mean-
ingful remedies.
CalPERS has indicated that it is
planning to increase rates even fur-
ther. There is even talk that Vallejo,
which has recently gone through
municipal bankruptcy (Chapter 9), is
on the verge of revisiting the process
again as a result of not addressing its
unfunded pension liabilities.
In 2012, San Jose votes overwhelm-
ingly passed a ballot measure
(Measure B) to reduce pension costs
only to be judicially overturned citing
what has become the California Rule
created in 1955. The California Rule
does not allow the rolling back of any
pension benets for current employ-
ees. The California Rule prohibits cur-
rent municipal employees from being
forced to contribute signicantly more
toward their pensions. There was also
a judicial ruling that protects the con-
tract rights of employees.
Although pensions are protected
by the California Rule, salaries are
not. Salary increase for cost of living
adjustments can be revoked but pen-
sion cost of living salary increases
once established cannot be reduced.
However, salaries can be cut to offset
the increased pension costs. This type
of salary cutting would certainly be
some small glimmer of hope to the
nancial woes of the municipalities
and ultimately the taxpayers, but
would certainly serve to polarize pub-
lic employees and their unions against
the municipalities.
It is no secret that most of the cur-
rent public pension systems through-
out the country are unsustainable and
there has been much said and written
about pension reform. But many of
our state-elected representatives are
hard-pressed to do anything regarding
pension reform because of the friction
it would cause between the legislative
candidate and the money unions
donate to political campaigns.
We are reaching a time when we are
seeing more and more career municipal
employees retiring (Baby Boomers). It
would seem logical that these retirees
jobs would need to be lled just to
maintain the same level of service to
its citizens. But, municipalities are
being faced with paying for two people
(one employee from salary and future
pension and one retiree from pension)
to do the same job. As a result of the
mass loss of career employees, the
institutional knowledge and experience
they have gained over their careers is
also gone. We are seeing the level of
effective productivity decrease due to
the lack of institutional experience,
such that it could take one and a half
people to replace one retiring employ-
ee. We are seeing more and more gov-
ernment laws, regulations and man-
dates that mean those working in the
public sector need to have very special-
ized skill requirements. More and more
municipalities are being forced into
hiring back on contract basis, those
employees who have retired because of
those complexities of government
operation and the lack of available
experience in the talent pool.
The California Rule could be abol-
ished by a State Constitutional
Amendment which would require a bal-
lot initiative. But such an initiative
could be judicially shot down because
of a law being established impairing
contract obligations. Such an initia-
tive could x future employee salaries
and pensions but we would not see any
relief for 10 to 15 years. Because of
past scal management beliefs that
the economic boom would continue
forever, the dot-com bust of 2000
and the greatest recession since the
Great Depression that started in 2008
brought us back to reality.
So what do we do in the meantime? I
full expect that our state Legislature
will continue to kick the can down
the road as they have done so well in
the past. Yet, I am concerned less
about our current plight and more
about our children and grandchildren
and with the future nancial obliga-
tions we will be leaving to them. The
impending nancial dilemma has got
to be addressed with near-term solu-
tions rather than continuing to let it
grow to a point where it is unre-
pairable which it may have already
reached that point.
I remain puzzled that salaries and
pensions in the private sector can go
up and down with economic good
times and recessions while salaries in
the public sector might begrudgingly
stay the same or go up but rarely go
down. There are laws to protect public
pensions, so where are the laws that
protect private pensions?

Unfunded pension liabilities The unspoken
Draper should fulfill
obligations to city
By Maxine Terner
W
ho needs to read about Crimea when our very
own Putin-ization of San Mateo is occurring in
our own downtown? The invasion of street-level
ofces into our retail core has begun, forcing our city lead-
ers into a position where they have limited leverage to
enforce the project plans they approved.
During the Draper University project
approvals, the city in good faith made
agonizing compromises to facilitate
this applicants grandiose university
experiment by modifying long-standing
regulations that protected downtown
retail businesses. Yet even given
extraordinary concessions, the appli-
cant has not fullled the requirements of
their original approval and deantly refuses to do so.
Lets not forget that the city planning documents that
protect retail uses in the downtown were developed with
thousands of hours of citizen participation and represent
the communitys goals for their downtown. Residents
rightly expect that these plans will be followed and not
ignored just because the economic pendulum has swung to
tech ofces and property owners see an opportunity to be
greedy. Our trust in government depends on our represen-
tatives following their own laws.
Remember that it was the developer who evangelically
promoted the trendy concept of pop-up retail being a suit-
able replacement for the stores that were evicted from the
Collective Buildings. It was the developer who proposed
the wonderful landscape plan that would upgrade the under-
utilized alley between Third and Fourth avenues and screen
the disgusting restaurant garbage area with a lush living
wall of plants.
The city now nds itself in a development bait and
switch where project promises and commitments are
ignored or changed for developer convenience. The con-
tentious change of zoning, from required ground-oor retail
use to ofce use, was based on the Collective Building
being an integral part of Draper University. This was to
avoid creating a dangerous precedent that could result in our
downtown becoming an ofce park. Now it seems that
instead of Draper University, the Benjamin Franklin Hotel
is providing housing for the ofce tenant in the Collective
Building. Was this always the real objective?
Do we even know who the applicant is anymore?
BOOST, the accelerator business in the Collective
Building, advertises housing in downtown San Mateo
for its customers on its website and posters. Where are
they providing this housing? Does Draper University
still exist or is BOOST its heir?
With the advantage of hindsight, who in San Mateo is
enjoying the promised benets of Draper University? Has
the city documented any increased property or business
tax revenue from that section of Third Avenue or just loss-
es from the active retail that was evicted? Has the city doc-
umented any increased retail activity or vitality on that
section of Third Avenue as anticipated? Just how many
students are enrolled in Draper University?
Sadly, our city has been bamboozled by a superhero that
wasnt. In fact, Draper has moved on to his next great idea
of dividing California into six states. Yet the City
Council continues to talk about working in good faith
with an applicant who has not reciprocated nor shown any
interest in being a good neighbor himself.
No public reason has been given for why the Draper proj-
ect cannot complete the walkway landscaping and open the
pop-up stores which would enhance retail vitality and street
life for the ordinary citizens who use and love downtown. If
the Draper team spent half as much time and effort fullling
their permit conditions as they have avoiding them the city
wouldnt have had to endure over a year of construction
blight empty or blacked-out storefronts, dead plants in
window boxes and debris-strewn sidewalks.
In particular, the loss of retail space in the Collective
Building cannot be tolerated. If the developer cant or
wont manage the pop-up retail stores that they them-
selves proposed, they should enter into a legal contract
with our own Downtown San Mateo Association to lease
these spaces for them.
The City Council always knew that the Draper
University project was an unproven experiment. In fact,
some residents have said that this emperor had no
clothes. Now that it has not worked out as expected, it
is time for the Draper team to acknowledge that this is
not just a project that affects them. The city is a major
stakeholder too. San Mateans care about their downtown
and it is way past time for the developer to show their
good faith by fulfilling their project conditions of
approval. The time for appeasement is over.

BUSINESS 10
By Christopher Sherman
McALLEN, Texas A barge carrying
nearly a million gallons of especially
thick, sticky oil collided with a ship in
Galveston Bay on Saturday, leaking an
unknown amount of the fuel into the popu-
lar bird habitat as the peak of the migratory
shorebird season was approaching.
Booms were brought in to try to contain
the spill, which the Coast Guard said was
reported at around 12:30 p.m. by the cap-
tain of the 585-foot ship, Summer Wind.
Coast Guard Lt. j.g. Kristopher Kidd said the
spill hadnt been contained as of 10 p.m.,
and that the collision was still being inves-
tigated.
The ship collided with a barge carrying
924,000 gallons of marine fuel oil, also
known as special bunker, that was being
towed by the vessel Miss Susan, the Coast
Guard said. It didnt give an estimate of how
much fuel had spilled into the bay, but there
was a visible sheen of oil at the scene.
Ofcials believe only one of the barges
tanks was breached, but that tank had a
capacity of 168,000 gallons.
A large amount of that has been dis-
charged, Kidd said. He said a plan was
being developed to remove the remaining
oil from the barge, but the removal had not
begun.
The barge was resting on the bottom of
the channel, with part of it submerged. He
said boom was being set up in the water to
protect environmentally-sensitive areas
and that people would be working through
the night with infrared cameras to locate and
skim the oil.
The barge was being towed from Texas
City to Bolivar at the time. The Coast Guard
said that Kirby Inland Marine, which owns
the tow vessel and barge, was working with
it and the Texas General Land Ofce at the
scene.
The Coast Guard said six crew members
from the tow vessel were in stable condi-
tion, but it offered no details about their
injuries.
Jim Suydam, spokesman for the General
Land Ofce, described the type of oil the
barge was carrying as sticky, gooey, thick,
tarry stuff.
That stuff is terrible to have to clean up,
he said.
Mild weather and calm water seemed to
help containment efforts, but stormy
weather was forecast for the area on Sunday.
Suydam said almost every private cleanup
outt in the area was out there helping out
under the coordination of the Coast Guard
and General Land Ofce.
Bruce Clawson, the director of the Texas
City Homeland Security, told The Daily
News in Galveston that the barge sank, but
that there is no danger to the community,
which is about 40 miles southeast of down-
town Houston. Suydam said he could not
conrm whether the barge sank.
Tara Kilgore, an operations coordinator
with Kirby Inland Marine, declined to com-
ment Saturday.
On its Facebook page, Texas City
Emergency Management said the dike and
all parks on the water are closed until fur-
ther notice. And the Coast Guard said that
part of the Houston ship channel was
closed to trafc.

WASHINGTON Divisions among
Republicans over a budget deal and a short-
fall in tax estimates are complicating the
House GOPs efforts to advance a spending
plan this spring.
Party leaders insist the GOP-controlled
House is moving full speed ahead to
approve one, but it has fallen behind sched-
ule amid concerns there will be enough
votes to pass it.
Thats our intent, said House Speaker
John Boehner, R-Ohio, when asked this
month whether GOP leaders would bring a
budget to the oor this year.
Doubts exist because Republicans are
split by a bipartisan deal from December
between the chairman of the House Budget
Committee, Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and
his Senate counterpart Patty Murray, D-
Wash. The deal set the spending cap for the
2015 budget year at levels higher than
those imposed by a budget and debt agree-
ment from 2011.
Sixty-two House Republicans voted
against the Ryan-Murray deal, mostly
because they favored
lower spending. Most
would have to change
course and vote in favor
of the higher numbers
that Ryan has signaled
he will use. Democrats
who supplied the votes
required to pass the
December deal probably
would not back a Ryan-
written budget that reprises future cuts to
Medicare, Medicaid and other programs.
The Ryan-Murray cap on spending for
the budget year that begins Oct. 1 is $18
billion higher than permitted by the 2011
budget deal and the automatic spending
cuts it put in place.
Theres no real need to do a congression-
al budget if the spending cap is already set.
Under Capitol Hills arcane budget
process, the rest of the budget resolution is
mostly nonbinding. But it does provide a
vehicle for the majority party to set forth
its budget and tax priorities and make
promises to voters.
Im planning on writing one, said
Ryan, the GOPs vice presidential nomi-
nee in 2012.
Ryan, however,
demurred when asked if it
will get a vote in the full
House.
House Majority leader
Eric Cantor, R-Va. ,
announced Friday in an
email to Republicans
that the House would
vote on Ryans budget
in April and that it would promise to be in
balance in 10 years despite starting off
with the Ryan-Murray figure for 2015.
Democrats control the Senate, and after
passing a budget last year for the first time
since 2009, have already said they arent
writing one this year. That protects vulner-
able Democrats from tough votes in a dete-
riorating political environment for them.
Another problem for Ryan is the latest
revenue projections from the
Congressional Budget Office. They show it
will be significantly harder for
Republicans to keep their promise of bal-
ancing the budget by the end of the decade.
The offices projections of slower econom-
ic growth mean lower than previously
expected tax revenues. Republicans would
have to come up with larger spending cuts
than they have in previous budgets.
The CBO now estimates that tax rev-
enues will be about $240 billion lower in
2022, the year Republicans targeted during
last years debate for bringing the budget
into balance. All told, the CBO says its
gloomier economic outlook will mean
$1.4 trillion in lower revenues over the
coming decade than it projected last year.
Aides insist Boehner and other party
leaders in the House are determined to get a
budget done. Failing to do so would be a
big embarrassment and could turn off the
core Republican voters they need to boost
their numbers in the November election.
Theyre going into uncharted territory
if they dont do a budget. Clearly (that
would) protect them from the charge
Democrats will make about cutting Social
Security and Medicare, said GOP media
consultant Ron Bonjean. On the other
hand, Republicans have become a brand for
putting out forward-leaning, fiscally
responsible budgets. And when you aban-
don that, you abandon that brand.
Writing a budget might divide House Republicans

WASHINGTON Alan Thacker
wants health coverage, but he cant
get help in his home state of Georgia.
Mary Moscarello Gutierrez no longer
can afford insurance in New Jersey.
Justin Thompson of Utah refuses to be
forced into the presidents health law.
Millions of people in the United
States will remain uninsured despite
this weeks nal, frenzied push to sign
them up under the health law. Their
reasons are all over the map.
Across the country, many of the
uninsured just dont know much about
the health overhaul and its March 31
deadline for enrolling in plans that
can yield big discounts, researchers
say.
An Associated Press-GfK poll found
that only one-fourth of the uninsured
had tried to sign up through the state
or federal insurance marketplaces,
also known as exchanges, by late
January. If they dont enroll in time,
many will face a ne and be locked out
of the subsidized plans until next year.
President Barack Obama and a pha-
lanx of advocacy groups, insurance
companies and volunteers are scram-
bling to spread the word about
HealthCare.gov as the deadline dan-
gles.
But the complexities of the
Affordable Care Act can stymie even
the well-informed.
New York tap dancer Jessica Wi l t
just missed being one of them.
She lost her health coverage last
summer when she was laid off as educa-
tion director of a small dance compa-
ny. It wasnt easy being uninsured
when Wilt slashed her ngertip slic-
ing lemons one night, she avoided an
emergency room bill by sealing the
cut herself with a super glue.
Wilt, 37, was eager to enroll in a
marketplace plan but found the premi-
ums too costly for a freelancer doing
arts-related jobs. That would have
been the end of it, if the accountant
doing her income taxes last week had-
nt prodded Wilt to try again. She went
online, realized she had erred in pro-
jecting her 2014 earnings and qualied
for a much bigger subsidy.
Im feeling a little embarrassed that
I interpreted things the wrong way the
rst time, said Wilt, who signed up
Friday for a midlevel silver plan for
$150 per month, a price that reects a
$224 tax credit. It just goes to show
how confusing all this is.
Theres a story for everyone who
will remain on the sidelines of
Obamas big enrollment push.
Richard Kelleher, long-term unem-
ployed and uninsured, spent five
months sorting through the confusion
in Phoenix. He tried to sign up for a
marketplace plan and then the states
newly expanded Medicaid program,
getting shutdown online, at state
offices and by phone. At the same
time, he was piling up employment
rejections.
Kelleher, 64, felt invisible.
On Friday he got a letter accepting
him into Medicaid and an entry-
level job offer the same day.
That puts his insurance situation in
limbo for now. He thinks his earnings
will end his Medicaid eligibility. But
Kelleher says hes grateful for an
opportunity to at least be somewhere
every day.
In Thomaston, Ga., it took Alan
Thacker two weeks to get his answer
online. It wasnt the one he wanted.
I dont know how many expletives
I hurled at the computer Why are
they doing it this way? Morons! and
other choice words, he recalled.

ST. LOUIS Kansas knows all about
Stanford now.
The Cardinal couldnt deny a slight at a
news conference a day earlier fueled them
just a bit before pulling their second and
much bigger upset of the NCAA tourna-
ment.
Kansas freshmen Andrew Wiggins and
Wayne Selden Jr. ducked their heads and gig-
gled Saturday when asked about Chasson
Randle, Stanfords leading scorer.
We denitely saw that video, Randle
said Sunday after the No. 10 seed Cardinal
beat the second-seeded Jayhawks 60-57 to
advance to the Sweet 16 in the South
Regional.
Coach told me not to talk about it but I
denitely took it as a challenge. It was a lit-
tle big extra motivation.
Enough for the Cardinal to make the
Jayhawks the second No. 2 seed to be
knocked out of this tournament in the third
round and enough for them to reach the
round of 16 for the rst time since 2008.
Wiggins was held to four points on 1-for-
6 shooting in what could have been his nal
college game. He accepted his share of the
responsibility for the loss.
I let a lot of people down, Wiggins said.
If I would have played better, we wouldnt
be in this situation, you know? I blame
myself for this.
Dwight Powell had 15 points and seven
rebounds despite playing with four fouls
much of the second half and Randle added 13
points, six steals and four assists for the
Cardinal (23-12), who were making their
rst NCAAappearance since 2008.
To beat a team like this, a storied pro-
gram with great coaching, great players,
always feels amazing, Powell said. So as
of right now were still in the race and were
still playing in March, and it feels great.
Stanford beat No. 7 seed New Mexico on
Friday and will have a higher seed for the
rst time when it faces 11th-seeded Dayton
in the regional seminal in Memphis, Tenn.

Cardinal freshman Cal Quantrill earned the win Saturday in Stanfords 6-2 victory over USC,
its rst in Pac-12 play.The right-hander had his scoreless-innings streak snapped at 15.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
STANFORD When Stanford senior A.J.
Vanegas entered Saturdays game in relief of
starter Cal Quantrill, it was the rst time in
two conference baseball games an under-
classman wasnt on the mound for the
Cardinal.
Stanford rode the freshman Quantrill to its
rst Pac-12 Conference victory Saturday at
Sunken Diamond with a 6-2 win over USC.
Coming off a complete-game shutout of
Kansas March 9, Quantrill has been the
Cardinals most productive pitcher this sea-
son, posting a 3-2 record to pace the team
in wins.
The freshman class has served as the
mainstay of the Stanford pitching staff this
season. Heading into Sundays rubber
match with USC, Quantrill, Brett Hanewich,
Tyler Thorne and Chris Viall had combined
for a 6-4 record. In fact, junior left-hander
John Hochstatter with a 2-1 record is
the only non-underclassman to record a
decision for Stanford this season.
All the freshmen have done a good job,
Cardinal manager Mark Marquess said.
With the departure of senior ace Mark
Appel last years No. 1 overall pick in
the Major League Baseball draft
Stanfords rotation was expected to go
through something of an identity crisis at
the start of the current season. But the
Cardinal were also dealt an unexpected loss
when sophomore Freddy Avis had to under-
go Tommy John surgery just prior to the
start of the season.
Avis a Menlo School graduate was
plagued by injury throughout his freshman
campaign last season, only appearing in
one game. Both Marquess and pitching
coach Rusty Filter are optimistic about
Avis chances to recover from the surgery to
repair the ulnar collateral ligament of his
throwing elbow and be ready for the start of
the 2015 season.
Freddy, hell be ne, Marquess said. He
probably could pitch in May but were just
going to pitch him in the summer and then

SYDNEY Yasiel Puig and Paul
Goldschmidt hadnt left the stadium before

Home plate was dug up, the pitchers
mound flattened and the eight-foot-high
perimeter home run fence taken down with-
in an hour after Puigs Los Angeles Dodgers
beat Goldschmidts Arizona Diamondbacks
7-5 Sunday.
It was a two-game Dodgers sweep of
Major League Baseballs opening weekend
at Sydney Cricket Ground.
The Dodgers and Clayton Kershaw won
the Saturday opener 3-1, sending the
Diamondbacks back to the U.S. 0-2 to start
the season and with the L.A. team holding a
very early two-game lead in the NL West
over their Arizona adversaries.
The regular season will resume next week-
end for both teams, with a few exhibition
games scheduled this week while they
recover from jet lag after the 15-hour ights
Down Under and back.
The cricket ground, and Australian base-
ball fans, meanwhile, may never be the
same.
Nearly 80,000 fans attended the weekend
games at the 162-year-old ground in leafy
Moore Park, minutes from downtown
Sydney.
Clearly, sports-mad Australia loved hav-
ing the worlds best baseball players in
Sydney. So did their rugby, cricket, soccer
and Aussie Rules football stars who took
time to mingle with Kershaw and Puig,
among others, for photo shoots.
It was a mutual admiration society, with
Kershaw posing on his birthday with a kan-
garoo and kicking around a rugby ball on
the eve of his opener. Puig and Goldschmidt
even tried their hand at cricket.

Richard Pitino said he gave his team a little
advice when St. Marys started Sundays
second-round NIT game by scoring the rst
14 points.
I told them to make shots, put the ball in
the basket, he offered, then backtracked.
No, I really didnt.
Whatever Pitino told them, the Gophers
were able to clean up their offense and came up
with stops on defense to beat the Gaels 63-55.
The win pushes Minnesota into the third
round of the tournament against the winner
of Sundays Southern Mississippi-Missouri
game. The winner of Tuesdays game heads
to the seminals at Madison Square Garden.
Im really excited to get there, its going
to mean a lot, just playing for a champi-
onship, said DeAndre Mathieu, talking as
if the Gophers had already punched their
ticket for New York.
Thats part of the buildup of excitement as
the Gophers get deeper into college basket-
balls consolation event.
It started slow for the Gophers, who didnt
come close to scoring while the Gaels rolled
up the early lead.
The Gophers (22-13) didnt score until the
13:10 mark of the rst half on a layup by
Maurice Walker. They fought back to tie the
score at 19-19, then went ahead for the rst
time at 29-28 on a putback by Walker with
14:55 remaining.
King had his third straight game in double
gures with 18 points for the Gophers, who
are the top seed in the tournament.
My teammates are getting me open
shots, things are dropping, its going really
well, King said.
The Gophers went on a 12-0 run midway
through the second half and held off the
Gaels (23-12) down the stretch.
Austin Hollins added 10 points for
Minnesota.
Stephen Holt had 24 points as the only St.
Marys player in double gures.

Many back pain conditions that we see can be helped by our state of the art decom-
pression tables and our treatment programs. Decompression relieves pressure
that builds up on the discs and nerves. The task of relieving pain comes about as a
result of drawing the leaking gel of a herniated disc back into place. Decompression
achieves this by creating negative pressure within the disc, referred to as negative
intra-discal pressure. This essentially creates a vacuum which draws the bulging
and herniated disc material back into the disc space, relieving pressure on painful
nerves. This process of non-surgical decompression combined with a customized
rehabilitation program allow the body to heal itself naturally.
Who is a 6aodidate Ior the 6rossroads Method
Our spinal decompression system has been found to relieve the pain associated
with disc degeneration, hemiated and bulging discs, facet syndrome, and sciatica.
Spinal decompression is a great option because back surgery is so risky.

Australian fans might like to see it soon-

could keep them. In cricket, where balls are

cool, Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson
said. The crowds were great. The prepara-
tion from the city of Sydney was outstand-

cency. Theyll have a few days off, then
three exhibition games before returning to

My biggest fear is when you start games,

Playing baseball in Australia still motivates
Skyline pitcher Cage Cascone to this day.
Now a college sophomore, Cascone
played in Australia on a two-week stint with
the Chicago Cubs scout team during his sen-
ior year at Terra Nova.
The right-hander played as part of a squad
stacked with top-flight talent, including
Dante Bichette Jr., a Yankees supplemental
rst-round draft pick in 2011.
It still to this day motivates me and gears
me up and gives me good memories, Cascone
said. It just helps me believe in myself.
Cascone is enjoying a solid season as a
transfer sophomore at Skyline this year. He
tabbed the win Saturday in the Trojans 10-2
win at Hartnell, dealing for 1 1-3 innings of
shutout relief. Cascone currently owns a
team-best 2-0 record and also paces the staff
in appearances with 15 tied for fourth in
the state.
Skyline has been scufing as of late, los-
ing six of its last seven. But Cascone has
enjoyed his share of winning baseball. Last
season, he pitched for Cabrillo as the
Seahawks advanced to the Super Regional
playoffs before being eliminated two games
shy of the State Championship tournament.
And when Cascone played in Australia dur-
ing winter break of 2010, the Cubs went 9-
2 with Cascone pitching in two games.
We played the rst day when we got
there, Cascone said. We got off the plane
and went to the eld got off the plane,
got in a bus and there we were.
The Cubs began their 11-game tour on
Dec. 18, 2010 at Holloway Field in
Brisbane, approximately 1,000 km north
along the coast where the Dodgers and
Diamondbacks opened the Major League
Baseball season Saturday in Sydney.
Cascone spent Christmas under sunny skies
with a host family in Brisbane. Of the two
games in which he pitched, he started and
received game MVP honors for one, he said.
But Cascone said the experience initially
affected him adversely when he returned for
his senior season at Terra Nova.
I feel like [the experience] has benetted
me a whole lot more in college because it
made me a little bit arrogant going into that
season in high school, Cascone said. I
think I got a little bit jaded because it
seemed like a joke after playing with these
guys in Australia that were all professional
and D-I bound players.
He threw well that season for a scuf-
fling team, posting a 1-4 record despite a
0.88 ERA.
Cascone earned a spot on the Cubs by
virtue of an evaluation clinic at Sonoma
State during his junior season at Terra Nova.
According to Cascone, Cubs area scout Rob
Williams indentied him at the clinic and
presented him with the opportunity to join
the scout team for the trip to Australia.
Cascone raised $4,000 for the trip with
donations from family and friends.
I was pretty dead set on it right away,
Cascone said. It just seemed like too good
an opportunity to pass up.

The Flyers beat No. 3 Syracuse 55-53.
The 6-foot-8 Wiggins, a likely NBA lot-
tery pick if he decides to leave school, was
saddled with four turnovers for Kansas (25-
10). Wiggins had averaged 28 points the
previous four games but the Jayhawks were
missing 7-foot freshman Joel Embiid who
was sidelined by a stress fracture in his back.
Coach Bill Self thought Stanfords height
up front bothered Wiggins, but added, I
think he had an off-game, too. Give them
credit for that, we put him in position to
make some plays.
Josh Huestis, who had the primary
responsibility for guarding Wi ggi ns,
played 39 minutes and had six points, eight
rebounds and two blocks.
That was Joshs assignment and he took
it to heart, Dawkins said. He had help. We
just tried to make it as difcult as we could
for him to score.
Self said the game seemed like a struggle
from the opening tip.
Everything didnt go right for Stanford,
either. The Cardinal were 0 for 9 from 3-
point range.
We can make 3s but thats not what we
rely on, Dawkins said. I didnt even notice
it because thats not what weve been.
Tarik Black had 18 points and six
rebounds for the Jayhawks, but he fouled out
with 5:25 to go. Conner Frankamp had 12
points on four 3-pointers, the last two in
the nal 23 seconds to make it close after
Stanford had pulled ahead by seven.
Stanford was 9 for 12 at the free throw line
over the nal 2:04 and needed all those points.
Frankamps second 3-pointer narrowed the gap
to 59-57 with 14.9 seconds left.
Anthony Brown hit one of two free
throws with 12.9 seconds to go and
Frankamp banged a third 3-point attempt
off the glass near the buzzer in a bid to tie it.
I knew when that left my hand it was
off, Frankamp said. I didnt get a great
look at it.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Each time
Dayton needed a clutch basket or a stout
stop, Florida found a way down the stretch
to deny the Flyers.
The Gators have no starters taller than 6-
foot, yet they were the ones that came up
big in crunch time.
When things started to go wrong, we
made mistakes, Dayton coach Jim Jabir
said. We dont have that intestinal fortitude
to ght through it.
Cassie Peoples scored 21 points and all
ve Florida starters scored in double gures,
leading the Gators past Dayton 83-69
Sunday in the opening round of the NCAA
tournament.
The 11th-seeded Gators (20-12) will play
Penn State on Tuesday night in the Stanford
Regional.
In a rst round full of lopsided victories
by the heavy favorites, the Gators became
the 29th 11th-seeded team to win a tourna-
ment game. Jaterra Bonds and Ronni
Williams each had 15 points for Florida.
Thats not what we came here for, to just
beat Dayton, Bonds said. We came to get
that Round 2 win. We want to get to the
Sweet 16.
Andrea Hoover led the Flyers (23-8) with
22 points and Celeste Edwards scored 15
points. Hoover and Edwards helped the Flyers
storm to a double-digit lead in the second
before Florida started to rally.
The Gators shot 51 percent in the second
half to wipe out the decit and stun Dayton.
We have to be a tougher team, Hoover
said. We cant keep making the same mis-
takes over and over or we wont get far.
The Flyers appeared to put the sting of los-
ing to Fordham in the A-10 tournament cham-
pionship game behind in a hurry. Hoover and
Saicha Allen-Grant hit early 3s in the second
half helped push Daytons lead to 11.
The Gators stormed back and wiped it out
with 8:44 left in the half. Peoples scored a
layup, Florida forced on a turnover, and
Kayla Lewis went inside for a bucket for a
57-56 lead.
Carlie Needles rst 3 of the game made it
60-56. The Flyers kept creeping within a
bucket of tying the game, only to get
pushed back with a score on the other end.
Needles, a 5-foot-6 guard who averaged only
six points a game this season, swished
another 3 for a 67-60 lead that nally gave
the Gators the breathing room they needed.
Carlie hitting the 3s really gave us that
condence to seal the game off, Peoples
said. It really put a dagger in them when
Carlie was hitting those 3s. Were all just
grateful she still had the condence to take
them after (a slow start).
Daytons Celeste Edwards missed a layup
that could have made it a three-point game,
Florida grabbed the rebound and Needles com-
pleted the fastbreak layup for a 69-63 lead.
Hoover, who led Dayton this season in
points, assists and 3-point shooting, didnt
have enough left for one more rally. She
made 4 of 8 3-pointers and chipped in four
rebounds.
Hoover hit three 3-pointers and scored 15
points to give Dayton a 32-29 halftime
lead. Amber Deane scored 10 of her 15
points in the half and the Flyers shot 52
percent from the oor to build the lead.
The Flyers missed 14 of 20 3-point
attempts.
We went away with what we were doing
so well, driving to the basket and getting to
the free-throw line, Hoover said. We kind
of settled for jump shots, we were kind of
taking bad shots and they got some runouts
on the offensive end.
Even with an at-large bid, the Flyers still
earned the highest seed in program history.
That wasnt enough to satisfy a program
reaching for more.
Florida was back in the tournament for the
rst time since 2012. The Gators managed a
fth-place nish in the rugged SEC even
with one of the thinnest rosters of any tour-
nament team. The Gators have played just
eight players in all but two games this sea-
son, seven against LSU on Jan. 12 and nine
against Florida State and Nov. 21. The
played only eight on Sunday and didnt
need any more.
Lewis had 11 points and 11 rebounds.
Led by Lewis, Florida outrebounded
Dayton 41-26.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Tim Lincecum
was tagged for 11 hits and seven runs,
including three homers, but the San
Francisco Giants came all the way back to
beat the Kansas City Royals 13-9 on
Sunday.
Making his fifth start of the spring,
Lincecum gave up home runs to Salvador
Perez, Jason Donald and Carlos Peguero.
The right-hander also struck out seven and
walked one in 4 2-3 innings.
Brandon Crawford sparked San
Franciscos eight-run sixth with a two-run
homer. Brandon Belt hit an RBI single and
Hector Sanchez added a
two-run single.
With two outs, Gregor
Blanco hit a drive into
the right-center gap,
driving in two runs, and
came all the way around
to score himself for a 9-7
lead. The play was ruled a
triple and an error, due to
a dropped throw on the
relay.
The Giants added two more runs in the
seventh for an 11-7 advantage. After
Kansas City cut the lead to 11-9 with two
runs in the eighth, the Giants got two more
in the bottom of the eighth on a home run
by Ehire Adrianza.
Lincecum said he had
some good pitches and
bad pitches Sunday, but
was generally out of
synch. He thought his
body positioning
allowed his lower poste-
rior to oat toward the
plate before the rest of
his body.
My pitch count was up and I was erratic,
he said. I wasnt throwing the changeup
anywhere I wanted to. I wasnt so much
interested in the results than I was getting
the work in. It (end of spring) has become
more of a mental grind thing than mechan-
ics. If this would have been a regular-sea-
son game, I would have studied the hitters
more, but that doesnt mean the result
would have been any different.
Lincecum currently is slotted No. 4 in
Bruce Bochys rotation, meaning he likely
would be the starter when the Giants wrap
up a four-game, season-opening series at
Arizona on April 3.
After the game, the team optioned right-
handed reliever George Kontos to Triple-A
Fresno and sent left-handed reliever Dan
Runzler to minor-league camp. Runzler
earned the win Sunday.
Kontos appeared in seven games this
spring while tabbing a 0-0 record and a
3.00 ERAwith one save.
Lincecum hit hard but Giants rally past Royals
PEORIA, Ariz. Oaklands Yoenis
Cespedes hit his rst home run of spring
training, but the Seattle Mariners rallied for
four runs in the ninth inning to beat a split-
squad of Athletics on Sunday.
Stefan Romeros three-run homer off Evan
Scribner gave Seattle a walk-off victory.
I was just looking for something up to
drive to get the sac y, said Romero, who
has never played above Triple-A. Luckily,
it went out.
Romero can play both corner outfield
positions and has a real chance at making
the big league roster when camp breaks
this week. Manager Lloyd McClendon has
taken notice.
Hes been playing well for about,
say 2 1/ 2 weeks, he sai d. Been
swi ngi ng t he bat .
Dustin Ackley hit a two-run homer off
Oakland starter Josh Lindblom in the fth.
Justin Smoak and Logan Morrison each had
two hits for the Mariners, and Kyle Seager
had an RBI double in the ninth.
Josh Donaldson and Derek Norris homered
for the As. Donaldson, who nished fourth
last year in American League MVP voting,
crushed a two-run shot off Mariners starter
Randy Wolf in the fourth inning for his third
homer of the spring.
Norris hit a solo shot off Wolf in the sixth
and Cespedes added a solo homer off Yoervis
Medina in the eighth that gave Oakland a 4-
2 lead.
As manager Bob Melvin was pleased to
see cleanup hitter Cespedes, who nished 2-
for-3 with a walk, go
deep.
When youre a power
hitter, its always nice to
get that rst homer out of
the way, he said. But his
at-bats were better today.
Couple of hits, a walk, a
homer.
Before the game,
Melvin announced that
Sonny Gray would be the As opening day
starter against Cleveland.
During his rookie season last year, Gray, a
24-year-old right-hander, started 10 games,
posting a record of 5-3 with a 2.67 ERAand
striking out 67 batters in 64 innings.
Gray will be followed in the rotation by
Scott Kazmir, Jesse Chavez, Dan Strailey
and Tommy Milone.
Lindblom worked 1-2-3 innings in the
rst four frames before faltering in the fth.
After striking out Smoak and getting Seager
to y out in the fth, Lindblom allowed his
rst hit a double to Morrison before
Ackley homered to center. Lindblom scat-
tered two earned runs on two hits, one walk
and struck out three in 4 2/3 innings.
After the game, Melvin said Lindblom had
been sent to Triple-A Sacramento to stretch
out and be able to provide starting pitching
depth for the Athletics.
Now two down in the rotation, need some
depth behind them, Melvin said. Decision
was either use him for length or stretch him
out. We felt like right now we need to stretch
him out and have him ready to start.
As drop split-squad game, Gray tabbed for opening day

hell come back and hell be ne.
To help make up for the loss of the local kid,
Stanford is relying on the recruit from across the bor-
der. Quantrill a native of Port Hope, Ontario has
emerged as a cornerstone of the weekend rotation.
Saturday, the freshman worked 6 1-3 innings, allow-
ing one run on six hits while striking out ve to win
his third consecutive decision.
And after a tough loss Friday night in the Pac-12
opener in which a late 3-1 lead was trumped by a
three-run rally by USC in the eighth to stun Stanford
4-3, it was paramount for the Cardinal to make a
statement on the diamond Saturday not just to their
opponents, but to themselves.
That one really hurt [Friday] night, Stanford sen-
ior Danny Diekroeger said. So, we were really com-
ing out hot [Saturday] and we will be [Sunday] too.
Along with Vanegas, Diekroeger is one of just two
seniors on the Stanford roster this season. And hes
playing like it. The left-handed-hitting Diekroeger
who grew up in Woodside and, like Avis, is a Menlo
grad has settled into the leadoff spot nicely this
season. He entered into play Sunday hitting .333 (19
for 57) while leading the Cardinal with 19 runs and is
tied for the team lead with ve doubles. He also ranks
third in the Pac-12 with a .479 on base percentage.
Im just trying to be really consistent with my
approach, Diekroeger said. Its a tough game. Its
tough to hit. But Im just trying to be really consis-
tent and not give away many at bats.
Diekroegers words are pretty much a family mantra,
as his two brothers are also prolic hitters. His older
brother Kenny was a career .307 hitter at Stanford
before being drafted by the Royals in the fourth round
in 2012. His younger brother Mikey is a senior at
Menlo where hes posted a .358 career batting average
and is hitting .300 on the current season.
But while its the same old Diekroeger prowess at the
plate, things have changed on the defensive side of the
ball for the senior. Having played second base during
his three previous seasons at Stanford, Diekroeger has
shifted to rst base this year to make room for fresh-
man defensive wunderkind Tommy Edman.
[Marquess] was telling me that he was thinking
about [moving me to rst] and I was trying to con-
vince him to keep me elsewhere, Diekroeger said.
But it just so happened that there was kind of a hole.
They didnt really need me on the ineld because there
were all these other guys who could play second and
third and short. So, Im just trying to be the best rst
baseman I can be right now.
Entering into Sunday with a .988 elding percent-
age, Diekroeger has played the position like a natu-
ral. And Saturday, he made a couple of key plays to
help preserve Quantrills outstanding outing.
In the second, with USC runners at rst and third,
Diekroeger made a great diving catch in foul ground
to corral a pop-up bunt off the bat of Frankie Rios.
Quantrill went on to escape the inning with no dam-
age done after catching Trojans sophomore Bobby
Stahel trying to swipe home on a wheel steal to end
the inning.
In the sixth, Diekroeger made a sweet scoop on a
dazzling play by third baseman Alex Blandino, who
had to charge a slow chopper off the bat of Timmy
Robinson, make a barehanded grab and re to rst on
the run. The off-balance throw looked to be headed
down the right-eld line but Diekroeger got full exten-
sion across his body and laid out to make the grab.
Before getting touched for a run in the seventh,
Quantrill held USC scoreless through six to extend
his streak of 15 consecutive scoreless innings.
Vanegas an unsigned 19th round pick of the As
last year was solid through 2 2-3 innings to close
it out for his rst save of the season.
Theyre all big (wins), especially in conference,
Marquess said. We had 12 days off (for nal exams)
and we let one slip away from us [Friday] night. But it
was good to get one for us. Yeah, big win for us.
The Cardinal (1-2 in Pac-12, 8-10 overall) dropped
their opening three-game series Sunday, falling 6-3
to USC (3-3, 12-10). Sophomore Logan James took
the loss. Stanfords sophomore hurlers are now 0-5
on the season.

R
IP, Donut. Donut was a hamster,
my daughters kindergarten class-
room pet. My wife was volunteer-
ing one early morning last week and
thought Donut looked awfully still. She
touched her. Nothing. She must have
passed in the evening. It became one of
those times for the teacher to throw out
the lesson plan and teach in the moment.
She sat the children down to tell them the
news. There was shock, snifes, tears and
sad faces. She read the children a book
about the loss of a pet, then let children
talk about their own experiences losing
pets. Then, they all gathered around
Donuts enclosure; children were asked to
think of a memory of their friend, Donut.
They added decorations to the outside of a
small box, which became Donuts casket.
The schools handyman dug a grave site
under a tree just outside the kindergarten
classroom and the teacher invited the
parish priest of my daughters Catholic
school to lead a prayer service for Donut.
Donut was then put in his nal resting
place and the children were solemn and
respectful during this service. This cer-
tainly seemed like a healthy way to help
the children deal with this sad experience;
they will undoubtedly keep this sad yet
beautiful teachable moment with them. Of
course, there are many ways to help chil-
dren deal with loss. Some parents opt for
what seems to be the easy approach: they
tell their kids the pet ran away or that they
gave it to someone else. Making up a
story may not be ideal; when the truth is
discovered, it can make kids wonder about
other things their parents have told them.
For certain, how parents talk to their kids
about the loss of a companion animal can
prepare them for future conversations
about the losses of loved ones and other
difcult subjects. Talking about loss isnt
easy, but inevitable once you bring a pet
into your home.

NEWYORK To go with Twilight and
The Hunger Games, Lionsgate now has a
trio of young-adult franchises with the box-
ofce leading Divergent.
The teen science-ction thriller starring
Shailene Woodley debuted with $56 million
over the weekend, according to studio esti-
mates Sunday. The opening, while less than
some anticipated, launches Lionsgates
third franchise built on young-adult best-
sellers.
With an audience 59 percent female and
half under the age of 25, Divergent lured
young moviegoers with dystopian drama
and an upcoming star. Divergent, though,
fell well short of its forerunners: Twilight
opened with $69.6 million in 2008, and
The Hunger Games began with $152.5
million in 2012.
Richie Fay, president of domestic distri-
bution for Lionsgate, called it a great
beginning for another franchise for the
company. Asequel is already in the works.
The key to the success of these franchis-
es is nding the difference and marketing
it, said Fay. Its not easy. And I think
were doing it better than anyone else right
now, frankly.
In the rush to adapt popular young-adult
fiction, Lionsgate has succeeded where
many others have oundered. Divergent,
made with a budget of $85 million from
Veronica Roths best-sellers, follows less
stellar results from youth-focused lms like
The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones,
Vampire Academy and Beautiful
Creatures.
Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst
for box-ofce tracker Rentrak, calls the
Divergent debut a three-peat for
Lionsgate in a challenging genre that dees
cookie-cutter, assembly line develop-
ment.
They make it look easy, says
Dergarabedian. Youre chasing probably

Disneys Muppets sequel Muppets Most
Wanted, with Ricky Gervais and Tina Fey,
fared poorly, earning just $16.5 million
over the weekend. The Muppets, opened
notably better with $29.2 million in 2011,
benefiting from the high-profile reboot
starring and co-written by Jason Segal.
Dave Hollis, head of distribution for
Disney, acknowledged the result was disap-
pointing and somewhat head-scratching
considering advance tracking had suggested
Muppets Most Wanted would draw bigger
crowds.
There certainly was something in the
last Muppets not having anything
available for fans for a while that sat-
isfied pent up demand that we didnt
have the benefit of this time around,
Hollis said.

views on either March 31 or April 1, said
Kathy Kleinbaum, senior management ana-
lyst in the Community Development
Department and the staff member dedicated to
the new commission.
All the applicants were well qualied in
their own way. There was a wide range from
Ph.D. subject matter experts to people who
are passionate about community sustainabil-
i t y, Kleinbaum said. It really ran the
gamut. Its just a very impressive applica-
tion pool and the council has a very difcult
decision in front of them.
The last commission the city formed was
the Senior Commission 20 years ago.
Unlike other commissions, such as the
Public Works or the Planning commissions
that consider specific projects, the
Sustainability Commission will be the rst
to consider more broad policy directives,
Kleinbaum said.
The commission will start by updating the
citys climate action plan, landscape water
efciency and beekeeping ordinances and set
targets for greenhouse gas emissions among
other environmental issues, Kleinbaum said.
The council and the public have been
extremely supportive in developing and fur-
thering the citys sustainability goals,
Kleinbaum said.
Its been really exciting. Its gone really
smoothly and the council has been very sup-
portive every step of the way; and very
enthusiastic about it, which has been great,
Kleinbaum said.
Councilman David Lim said hes gratied
to see the commission he urged to be formed
more than two years ago nally take shape.
More people applied for this commission
than any other in at least the past 10 years
and they have an extremely qualied crop of
candidates from which to choose, Lim said.
The council opted for an informal ranking
system and every one who received two or
more council nods will be interviewed. Two
of the applicants, John Ebneter and Greg St.
Clair are well known to the council and
active in the community and will likely be
appointed without interview, Lim said.
Lim said his environmental priorities
include water conservation, delivery and the
citys relationship with California Water
Service Company, Lim said. However, the
Sustainability Commission will be anything
but a rubber stamp, it will be up made of free
thinkers who will help guide discovery and
use its expertise to provide innovative ideas,
Lim said.
Once this commission forms, they are
going to be an independent voice that makes
recommendations to the council. I certainly
have my own priorities and goals, but I want
them to take a look at the entire city, Lim
said. We work best when were not just
telling them this is what we want, we really
have some wonderfully intelligent people in
the city that were going to draw from.
Councilman Joe Goethals is equally excit-
ed by the skilled candidates and to initiate the
commission.
I cant wait for them to get started. We just
had an amazing eld of people who are high-
ly qualied and many of whom work on sus-
tainability issues as their professions. So
going forward, the Sustainability
Commission is going to be a great resource
for the city to adopt conservation efforts and
come up with a strategic plan going forward
on how to decrease our footprint on the
planet, Goethals said.
Both Lim and Goethals agree the formation
of the commission was long overdue and
with a litany of environmental concerns,
focusing on bettering the city and the planet
needs to be a priority.
Its been on the mindset of San Mateo res-
idents for a long time. But I think that weve
reached a tipping point where the majority of
San Mateo residents are concerned about sus-
tainability issues and being good stewards of
the environment, Goethals said. San
Mateo is blessed with great parks and a great
shoreline and maintaining those areas for
recreation and just enjoying the beauty of
them is just important to a lot of people. Not
just in our lifetime, but for our kids and our
grandkids.

the sustainability commission visit

SUSTAIN
Maloufs luxury menswear store at 1460
Burlingame Ave., actually presented the idea
for the revamp of Burlingame Avenue to the
Burlingame City Council after he moved to
the Bay Area about 18 years ago, noticing the
street seemed outdated.
I thought it would affect us more, but there
more people cut through the store for the two
new restaurants next door, he said. Its not
detrimental.
On the other end of the street, Julio Salinas,
manager at Copenhagen Bakery & Caf at
1216 Burlingame Ave., said business has
picked up since his part of the block was com-
pleted. Business has improved by 50 percent,
he said.
Its much better, he said. Before it was
terrible. It will be better when the whole
thing is done because a lot of people see the
mess over there [on the other end of the
street] and dont want to come.
Mingalaba, a Burmese restaurant located at
1213 Burlingame Ave., saw a drop in busi-
ness during construction on its block as well.
During construction, business was down,
said Manager Sandra Tung. But right now,
its picking up.
Meanwhile, Vice Mayor Terry Nagel said
the project is going really well.
Were getting there, she said. Im hear-
ing more and more people say complimenta-
ry things about it.
The 14- to 16-month beautication of
Burlingame Avenue includes more pedestrian-
friendly features, with sidewalks widened
from 10 to 16 feet, more landscaping and out-
side dining space. Parking is moving from
slanted to parallel and the streets two lanes
will be thinned to a total of 20 feet. The $16.5
million project is expected to be completed
by the end of summer.

mous approval, opponents like members
of nonprofit San Francisco Bay Marinas
for All who filed the appeal also argued
against the massive gentrification of
the quirky community between Bair Island
Road and Redwood Creek and said popular
opinion of owner Paula Uccelli should not
color the discussion.
Mondays appeal hearing is just the lat-
est battle for the project since its propos-
al in July 2012.
The Planning Commission approved the
original development proposal last year
but the City Council sent it back for recon-
sideration because of significant changes
made after the fact. Developer Paul Powers
originally eliminated the commercial
slips, then proposed an outer marina of
about 150 spaces and now calls for 45 to
65 publicly available. There will be no
live-aboards allowed.
The proposed residential buildings will
range from three stories to five stories and
contain studios to three-bedroom units.
The latest plan also calls for up to 883
parking spaces and a new 460-foot-long
bicycle and pedestrian trail connection on
the west side of Uccelli Boulevard linking
public trails to the Bair Island Bridge and
other southern areas.
Neither the previous nor current propos-
al require zoning changes and therefore no
special approvals by the city because it
does not include high-rise buildings or the
filling in of the Bay.

stay and numerous other individuals
served as marshal.
In 1916, the city hired a trafc of-
cer, William Kidd. El Camino Real was
the only north-south road up and down
the Peninsula and it generated a lot of
trafc. Fast trafc. William Kidd, nick-
named Captain Kidd, became the gure
to fear by the school children.
Edgemont Elementary School was on
Elm Avenue, west of El Camino Real,
and the intersection that Captain Kidd
was to patrol and stop trafc for school
children crossing El Camino Real was
not always the place kids wanted to go
to and cross. Captain Kidds booming
voice could be heard a half a mile away
when he spotted children jaywalking
to get to school. Alecture followed as
the kids quaked in their shoes before
they were allowed to cross El Camino
Real. The parents loved the job and the
reputation of Captain Kidd. He kept the
kids safe until his retirement in 1926.
The police facilities were located in
the Old Tin Schoolhouse that was
converted into City Hall. A small jail
was built to the rear of the building, in
a basement. The cars did not have any
radios for many years. Communication
to the ofcers on duty around town was
accomplished by those in need of help
dialing 101 on the telephone. This
activated a red light that was placed on
a 50-foot pole at the re house on San
Mateo Avenue and another light at the
intersection of Jenevein Avenue and El
Camino Real. When 101 was dialed on
the phone, the activated light was vis-
ible all over town and the officer
responded immediately.
San Francisco transplant Arthur
Meehan became marshal in 1916 but
resigned in 1919, only to be rehired in
1921. Meehan was replaced by a local
boy, Carl Lewis, who was replaced by
William Maher. In 1927, the title of
marshal was replaced by police
chief. Maher became San Brunos rst
police chief and remained so until his
retirement in 1962.
In 1921, the streets were impassable
when it rained. Marshal William
Weddell became famous when a news-
paper article in a San Francisco news-
paper reported the number of towns-
people were up in arms in San Bruno
due to the City Councils action that
authorized Marshal Weddell to arrest
all drivers who took to the sidewalks
to drive due to muddy streets. This was
not to be tolerated. In addition, the
billy goat population (more than 700
reported in city limits) was out of con-
trol and all owners of unsecured billy
goats were to be arrested. Needless to
say, this action by the marshal was
short-lived when the story broke and
San Bruno became the laughing stock
of the Peninsula. The council quickly
backed down due to irate citizens (and
to save face).
Tanforan Race Track was the main
industry in San Bruno for many years
and required police supervision. The
race track had its own police force in
addition but some activities had to be
handled by the many deputy marshals.
Albert Coturri directed trafc during
races and was killed in 1922 while per-
forming this duty. In 1923, a tragic
event killed Ofcer Meehan. He was
shot and killed by two young crimi-
nals, Joe Tanco and Floyd Hall. They
had just robbed a business in South San
Francisco and failed to stop at a stop
light while traveling through San
Bruno. Officer Meehan pursued the
individuals and they shot him after he
had stopped them on El Camino Real.
AWillis-Knight touring car was pur-
chased for the police department in
1925. This was the classiest car of any
of the law enforcement departments on
the Peninsula. The six-cylinder,
smoke-belching vehicle proved unsat-
isfactory and, in 1928, it was replaced
by a touring-type Buick.
In 1938, Russ Cunningham joined
the police force. The city had one
patrol car and one motorcycle to patrol
the area. When Cunningham became
police chief after Chief Mahers retire-
ment in 1962, more than 21 ofcers
served the city, with a clerking staff of
four. By 1976, the police force num-
bered 58 people in the department
one chief, one captain, four lieu-
tenants, seven sergeants and 34 police
ofcers. In addition, the support per-
sonnel consisted of one secretary, ve
clerk dispatchers, four clerk typists,
one parking control ofcer and six
community service ofcers. Twenty-
one regular motor vehicles were sup-
plemented by three motorcycles and
two Cushman motor scooters.
Numerous police chiefs served San
Bruno after Chief Cunningham retired
in 1978. Frank Hedley served until
city manager duties took too much of
his time and he stepped down as police
chief in 1994. He was followed by
Joseph Palla (1995-1998), Lee Violett
(1998-2006) and Neil Telford (2006-
present).
HISTORY
service, OConnor told the crowd Friday
night.
She left San Mateo County when her
husband was drafted to serve in Germany
during the Korean War but said she
always keeps a dear spot for the county
where she got her legal footing.
While OConnor was undeniably a
draw to the 30th annual induction, the
other honorees were not slouches either.
Joining OConnor were Dr. Faye
McNair-Knox, Fatima Soares and Nina
Luo.
McNair-Knox, a rare person with four
degrees from Stanford University, accord-
ing to introducer Supervisor Warren
Slocum, is executive director of the non-
prot One East Palo Alto Neighborhood
Improvement Initiative and also works to
decrease crime, improve employment
options and help those isolated by men-
tal illness. She also, as Slocum said any-
body who has been in a meeting with her
knows, always asks others to show me
some love.
McNair-Knox has a reputation for
speaking the sweet truth, tackling the
impossible and making a difference,
Slocum said.
In her remarks, McNair-Knox
addressed the need for women in particu-
lar to have role models.
Soares, who came to the United States
from Portugal at age 15, meant for her
stint as a social worker at Coastside
Hope to be a one-year contract. That was
1977 and Soares is now the executive
director. She also volunteers at other
coastal nonprots including the
RotaCare Free Clinic.
Her work, she said, draws on personal
experience.
I know rsthand that everybody
needs a hand up, she said.
Even at her young age, Luo has a
lengthy resume of service but told the
audience that it was only natural to do
so. The Millbrae teen attends San
Mateo Middle College while simultane-
ously enrolled as a junior at Mills High
School. She spends her free time writing
grant requests for Sunset Youth Services
to fund work experiences for youth and
serves as a youth suicide prevention peer
counselor for StarVista.
She wasnt pushed by family or school
requirements but felt a need to give back.
Everyone deserves to feel hope and
no one deserves to fall through the
cracks, she said, before proceeding to
literally thank everyone she ever worked
with, is related to or met in her life.
The honorees words were a precursor
to Day OConnor who was not only an
inductee but also served as keynote
speaker. OConnor shared that the legal
bug bit her the third year of her under-
graduate Stanford education. She told
her parents, ranchers in Arizona, and
while they admitted the two career paths
were pretty different it wouldnt hurt to
have a lawyer in the family.
At the time, only 3 percent of law stu-
dents in the United States were women
and only ve, including OConnor, were
enrolled at Stanford. She excelled and
was on law review but, she said, none of
that mattered compared to her gender.
Her break came in San Mateo where
she was willing to prove her worth with-
out a paycheck or desk and a district
attorney was open to employing a
woman.
So thats how I got started, she said.
Although she didnt stay too long,
OConnor said she will never forget it.
San Mateo County has always and
will always hold a special place in my
heart, she said.

GET FUZZY
MONDAY, MARCH 24, 2014
ARIES (March 21-April 19) There seems to be a lot
of anxiety and frustration in the air around you. Dont
get caught up in everyone elses business. Say what
needs to be said and move on.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Dont expect favors
today. Propel yourself to the front of the crowd and
let everyone know what you want. Waiting in the
background will get you nowhere.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Dont give in to other
peoples demands. Trying to please everyone will
leave you frazzled and ready to blow. Love is in the
stars. Make romantic plans.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) A great opportunity
for a new position should be considered. Resolve any
issues that could deter you from getting ahead. Avoid
confusion by addressing issues head-on.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Concentrate on improving
your cash ow. Dont risk being criticized by someone
because you strayed from the truth or didnt stick to
the rules. Your reputation is at stake.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Try not to be
overwhelmed by an unpredictable situation.
Professional developments can work in your favor if
you remain cool and in control.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Share your imaginative
home-improvement strategies. Your creativity and
originality will shine if you put your plans into action.
Live up to a promise you made, or you will be faulted.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) You are likely to
become involved in a heated discussion. Dont
get drawn into a shouting match. By keeping your
temper in check, you will make it easier to get
your point across.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) A troublesome
issue can be resolved with help from a friend or loved
one. If you trust the suggestions being offered, you will
gain a valuable perspective on the circumstances.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Refuse to let
anyone draw you into an unsettling situation.
Remain true to your beliefs. Let your feelings be
known, and offer alternative suggestions that will
allow you to walk away from things.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Find an innovative
way to boost your income. Consider your strengths and
weaknesses, and devise a plan that will highlight your
capabilities. Dont be hesitant to ask others for help.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) If you want your plans
approved, you will need to be up-front about any
foreseeable difculties, and offer concrete solutions
to them. Honesty, sincerity and integrity will win over
your most critical adversary.

detected potential debris.
Australian Maritime Safety Authoritys
rescue coordination center said the search
area was expanded from 59,000 to 68,500
square kilometers (22,800-26,400 square
miles) on Monday, including a new separate
area covered by data provided by France on
Sunday.
Two Chinese Ilyushin IL-76 planes joined
the search from Perth on Monday, increas-
ing the number of aircraft from eight on
Sunday to 10, AMSAsaid.
It said the weather in the search area,
about 2,500 kilometers (1,550 miles)
southwest of Perth, was expected to deterio-
rate with rain likely.
Australian Transport Minister Warren
Truss said nothing of note was found
Sunday, which he described as a fruitless
day.
Its going to be a challenge, but well
stick at it, he told Australian Broadcasting
Corp. radio before the rst aircraft left Perth
at dawn.
He said that the new search area based on
French radar data was 850 kilometers (530
miles) north of the previous search zone. He
said it was not the same area that had been
identied as the most likely place where the
aircraft may have entered the sea, but ...
weve got to check out all the options.
Were just, I guess, clutching at whatev-
er little piece of information comes along
to try and nd a place where we might be
able to concentrate the efforts, he added.
Acyclone bearing down on the Australian
northwest coast could stir up less favor-
able weather, he said.
Flight 370 vanished March 8 with 239
people aboard while en route from Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing, setting off a
multinational search that has turned up no
conrmed pieces and nothing conclusive on
what happened to the jet.
The latest French satellite data came to
light on Sunday as Australian authorities
coordinating the search sent planes and a
ship to try to re-nd a wooden pallet that
appeared to be surrounded by straps of dif-
ferent lengths and colors.
The pallet was spotted on Saturday from a
search plane, but the spotters were unable
to take photos of it, and a PC Orion mili-
tary plane dispatched to locate it could not
nd it.
So, weve gone back to that area again
today to try and re-find it, said Mike
Barton, chief of the Australian rescue coor-
dination center. Its a possible lead, he
added.
Wooden pallets are often used by ships,
Barton cautioned. But he said airlines also
commonly use them in cargo holds.
An ofcial with Malaysia Airlines said
Sunday night that the ight was, in fact,
carrying wooden pallets. The ofcial spoke
on condition of anonymity in keeping with
company policy.
AMSA said it has requested a cargo mani-
fest from Malaysia Airlines.
When Brazilian searchers in 2009 were
looking for debris from Air France Flight
447 after it mysteriously plunged into the
Atlantic Ocean, they found a wooden pallet.
The military initially reported the pallet
came from the Air France ight, but back-
tracked hours later and said the plane had
not been carrying any wooden pallets.
Sundays search was frustrating because
there was cloud down to the surface, and at
times we were completely enclosed by
cloud, Royal Australian Air Force ight Lt.
Russell Adams told reporters.
Nothing of interest was found, he said.
But he added that the search was worth it
because we might do 10 sorties and nd
nothing, but on that 11th ight when you
nd something and you know that youre
actually contributing to some answers for
somebody.
In Paris, French Foreign Ministry
spokesman Romain Nadal said in an inter-
view with The Associated Press that the
satellite radar echoes identified some
debris that could be from the Malaysian
Airlines plane.
The spokesman said that these echoes
are not images with a denition like a pho-
tograph, but they do allow us to identify the
nature of an object and to localize it.
The French government has decided to
increase its satellite monitoring of this
zone and try to obtain precise images and
locations, Nadal said.
Gathering satellite echo data involves
sending a beam of energy to the Earth and
then analyzing it when it bounces back,
according to Joseph Bermudez Jr., chief
analytics ofcer at AllSource Analysis, a
commercial satellite intelligence rm.
Satellite radar echoes can be converted
into an image that would look similar to a
black-and-white photo, though not as clear,
he said. Youd have to know what youre
looking at, Bermudez said.
A Malaysian official involved in the
search said the French data located objects
about 930 kilometers (575 miles) north of
the spots where the objects in the images
released by Australia and China were located.
One of the objects located was estimated
to be about the same size as an object cap-
tured Tuesday by the Chinese satellite that
appeared to be 22 meters (72 feet) by 13
meters (43 feet), said the official, who
declined to be identied because he wasnt
authorized to speak to the media. It was not
possible to determine precise dimensions
from the French data, the ofcial said.
The southern Indian Ocean is thought to
be a potential area to nd the jet because
Malaysian authorities have said pings sent
by the Boeing 777-200 for several hours
after it disappeared indicated that the plane
ended up in one of two huge arcs: a northern
corridor stretching from Malaysia to
Central Asia, or a southern corridor that
stretches toward Antarctica.
