Construction and equipment on 25th Avenue in front of the
San Mateo County Event Center.
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Road construction on 25th Avenue
in San Mateo during the busy summer
fair season has some business owners
frustrated while city ofcials say its a
necessary part of avoiding future sewer
overow.
With the Maker Faire this weekend
and the San Mateo County Fair in June,
some question how limited parking
and massive construction equipment
lining 25th Avenue between Flores and
South Delaware streets will affect the
events.
The 25th Avenue Sanitary Sewer
Relief Line Project involves a trench-
less technique to install larger sewer
pipes that would help prevent sewage
overow during storms, said Susanna
Chan, deputy director of Public Works.
We have that problem, and its not a
secret. We, at the city, actually got a
cease and desist letter from the
[Regional Water Quality Control
Board] that requires us to address the
issues. Thats why we have a capital
project to address that, Chan said.
Construction is on track and expect-
ed to last through August, Chan said.
The city has reached out to local
businesses and the affected neighbor-
hood to try and mitigate as many con-
cerns as it could, Chan said.
The construction primarily occurs at
night and Joseph Brinzo, a certied
public accountant who runs an ofce
on 25th Avenue, said noise hasnt been
much of a problem.
Brinzo said parking in the area is
already tough and for those who are
handicapped, its even more difcult to
patronize any establishment in the
area. Brinzo said he can only imagine
the problem will be amplied during
the upcoming fairs.
Ive been here for a lot of fairs and
if this (construction) is still going on
at fair time, I think its going to be a

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
With another potentially record-
breaking heat wave coming to the Bay
Area this week, public health ofcials
are warning people to take precaution
to avoid exhaustion and dehydration.
Temperatures near the Bay and the
coast are expected to rise to the mid-
80s to mid-90s, while inland tempera-
tures will peak at 104 degrees, the
National Weather Service said.
The heat is expected to last through
Thursday, with temperatures starting
to cool off that day and drop even fur-
ther by Friday and the weekend,
according to the weather service.
The heat could have health impacts,
causing dehydration and exhaustion,
particularly in people over age 65,
infants and young children, people
with medical conditions like diabetes,
high blood pressure, heart disease,
obesity, asthma or respiratory condi-
tions. People who have been consum-
ing caffeine or alcohol are also at a
higher risk of dehydration, public
health ofcials said.
To avoid heat-related illnesses, the

Letterman, Stewart mock New
York Senates yogurt debate
ALBANY, N.Y. The New York
Senates debate about declaring
yogurt the states official snack was
intended to teach a fourth-grade class
about government. But it became a
lesson on legislative silliness from
David Lettermen and Jon Stewart.
The Senate spent 45 minutes this
week debating the merits of the leg-
islation, which was introduced at the
urging of students from a dairy-pro-
ducing area in western New York.
Before passing the bill, senators
mulled the distinction between
snacks and meals and whether other
snacks were more deserving.
What exactly are we defining as a
snack? asked Sen. Gustavo Rivera, a
Democrat from the Bronx.
I think its self-explanatory. I
mean, you have breakfast, lunch, and
dinner, and then you have snacks,
said the bills Republican sponsor,
Sen. Michael Ranzenhofer.
Did you consider, say, the potato
chip? Rivera asked, posing the
same question about raisins and pret-
zels. He then asked: What if the
pretzel was dipped in yogurt?
Letterman and Stewart skewered
t he exchange on t hei r s hows ,
wi t h Let t er man pl ayi ng vi deo
from the debate as part of a seg-
ment cal l ed New Yor k St at e:
Your Tax Dol l ars at Wor k.
Stewart called the deliberations
maybe the best 40 minutes of leg-
islative debate ever.
Even the fourth graders who
brought this up in the first place are
like, `Theyre still talking about the
state snack? Stewart said.
Some of the frivolity was staged as
a parliamentary protest.
Sen. Liz Krueger, a Democrat from
Manhattan, wrote on Facebook that
she asked silly questions includ-
ing one about the bills implications
for lactose-intolerant New Yorkers
to criticize the priorities of Senate
leaders. If Senate leaders make us
talk about yogurt, then thats what
well talk about until they give us
something better to do, she wrote.
New York is Americas largest
yogurt producer. Genesee County,
home to the elementary students who
suggested the bill, is home to dairy
farms and yogurt plants that employ
hundreds.
Were a dairy farming community,
and theres huge pride in that, said
Casey Kosiorek, the local superin-
tendent of schools. This has been a
chance for some true authentic learn-
ing.
Ranzenhofer, of Amherst, took the
ribbing in stride.
Im sure every employee at the
yogurt pl ant i s grat i fi ed t o see
t he at t ent i on, he sai d. Even i f
i t s at my expense.
Theres no word on when the state
Assembly may take up the bill.
Other states with official state
snacks include Texas (chips and
salsa), Illinois (popcorn) and South
Carolina (boiled peanuts).
Rooster at Dallas
hardware store popular
DALLAS A Dallas hardware
stores unusual mascot is proving
popular with customers.
Prince George is a Buff Orpington
rooster. He occupies a spot in the
front of the Gecko Hardware Store.
The stores co-owner Andrea Ridout
says foot traffic went up noticeably
on the weekends when customers
realized the rooster likes the atten-
t i on.
Ridout says Prince George started
ruling the roost when a little girl
returned him after she learned he
wouldnt become a hen. The rooster
has occupied the top spot on the
stores pecking order for a year.
Dallas officials have given the
store an exemption to keep the feath-
ered animal on the premises. Prince
George also visits schools and sen-
ior citizen sites.

Car jumps curb, strikes four
pedestrians in Half Moon Bay
Four pedestrians, including two
children, were injured Sunday
afternoon when a car jumped a curb
and struck them as they strolled
along a sidewalk in downtown
Half Moon Bay, according to San
Mateo County sheriffs ofcials.
According to sheriffs spokes-
woman Deputy Rebecca
Rosenblatt, deputies responded to
a report of a collision involving
pedestrians near the corner of
Main Street and Kelly Avenue at
about 2 p.m. Sunday.
Deputies reported that the
female driver mistakenly stepped
on the accelerator instead of the
brake while attempting to park in
a diagonal parking space on Main
Street.
Rosenblatt said the vehicle
drove onto the sidewalk, where it
struck a concrete planter box
before continuing into a group of
pedestrians.
According to Rosenblatt, four
pedestrians were struck, including
a 40-year-old man visiting Half
Moon Bay from the Murphys area
of Calaveras County. The man suf-
fered a major injury to his left leg
and was airlifted to a hospital for
treatment.
Other victims included two chil-
dren, ages 6 and 8 from Redwood
City, and a 43-year-old woman,
also from Murphys, who all suf-
fered minor injuries and were not
transported to the hospital.
The driver, a 27-year-old woman
visiting the Bay Area on business
from South Korea, was driving a
2013 Honda. Deputies said she
remained on the scene and was
cooperative and there were no
signs of drug or alcohol intoxica-
tion.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Want your
child to go to a state-funded pre-K
program? Choose your home state
wisely.
A new report to be released
Tuesday nds wide disparities in the
number of spots available for pub-
licly funded preschool programs. A
whopping 94 percent of 4-year-olds
attended such a program in the
District of Columbia and more than
7 out of 10 did in Florida, Oklahoma
and Vermont. Ten states had no such
program.
In fact, even as lawmakers from
both parties have embraced the idea
of expanding early childhood pro-
grams, the number of children
enrolled in state preschool pro-
grams saw a modest decline of about
9,200 children in the 2012-2013
school year the rst such reduc-
tion since 2002, when researchers
at Rutgers University started track-
ing pre-K trends. Even as funding
increased from a year earlier, more
than half of states with programs
made cuts. California alone, for
example, lost nearly 15,000 slots.
Overall, $5.4 billion was spent
by states on pre-K funding for about
1.3 million preschoolers.
The report is from the National
Institute for Early Education
Research at Rutgers in collabora-
tion with the Education
Departments National Center for
Education Statistics.
Given announcements of support
by politicians for preschool,
Steven Barnett, the director of the
institute at Rutgers, said he expect-
ed more growth to be reected in the
ndings, and yet, the numbers
arent there.
We were very surprised, Barnett
said.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan
said the data is a reminder of how
much work we still have to do to
ensure that every child gets a run-
ning start.
President Barack Obama has
advocated for universal preschool
for Americas 4-year-olds. Hes
found Democratic allies in the effort
on Capitol Hill, but Republicans
such as Rep. John Kline, R-Minn.,
the chair of the House education
committee, have said improving
existing federally funded early
childhood programs should be the
priority.
Outside of Washington, gover-
nors from both parties have advo-
cated for creating or expanding pre-
school.

Mountain biker injured
in accident on Belmont trail
A 24-year-old Belmont man was rescued
Friday afternoon after he had an accident
while riding his mountain bike in the
canyon area above Water Dog Lake.
At approximately 4:10 p.m. Friday,
Belmont re and police units responded to a
report of an injured mountain biker in the
canyon in the Water Dog Lake Open Space
Park, in the western hills of Belmont.
Emergency personnel were met at the park
entrance off Hallmark Drive, by another
mountain biker who told them he had been
riding on the John Brooks Trail and came
across the injured and disorientated victim.
After checking the victim, the Good
Samaritan then road back up to the park
entrance where he called 911 from his cell-
phone, according to Belmont police.
Fireghters used pickup trucks from the
Belmont fire and police departments to
reach the victim, who was approximately
three-quarters of a mile down the trail. The
victim was treated at the scene by Belmont
Fire Department paramedics and transported
to an area hospital with non-life threaten-
ing injuries. The victim was wearing a hel-
met and appropriate safety gear, according
to Belmont police.
As the summer months approach, the
Belmont Fire Department is reminding the
public of the following tips while using the
trails in Belmont or any open space area:
Always wear a helmet and appropriate
safety gear;
Mountain bike or hike with a friend. But

Local brief
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
City officials, parents, school board
members and residents who live near
Hoover Elementary School in Burlingame
gathered this weekend to explore options
on how to proceed after a judge halted con-
struction at the site because of concerns ade-
quate trafc analysis was not done.
While a set path forward wasnt estab-
lished, one idea was to create a task force
with both Burlingame and Hillsborough res-
idents to go through various trafc alterna-
tives.
We welcome meeting with the petition-
ers and the start of a new conversation,
Maggie MacIsaac, superintendent of the
Burlingame Elementary School District,
said in a written statement. The idea of a
task force is a great idea. Perhaps a panel of
experts from the city of Burlingame and the
town of Hillsborough could be the rst step.
The experts, such as trafc engineers and
city planners, could analyze the suggested
plans and report to the group. Of course,
this plan would only work if the petitioners
agree to come to the table and we move away
from litigation and toward a compromise.
Last Thursday, San Mateo County
Superior Court Judge Marie Weiner ruled in
favor of the Alliance for Responsible
Neighborhood Planning that sued the
Burlingame Elementary School District,
stating it needs to prepare a full environ-
mental impact report on trafc impacts for
the entire property, which means all con-
struction must be stopped until this is done.
The district does have the option to appeal
within 60 days.
On Saturday, the county sponsored a com-
munity meeting about the school.
Supervisor Dave Pine said it is helpful to get
together and look at the issues of concern,
which are trafc, safety and noise.
Some expressed their frustrations at the
court decision at the meeting, including
school board Vice President Mark Intrieri.
He noted the safety of the schools 250 stu-
dents is the main issue thats driving the lit-
igation.
What were all worried about is the wel-
fare of kids, he said. The school district is
willing to consider any reasonable option
that allows us to open the school that isnt
unfeasible because of dollars or logistics.
Our district is in crisis because of enroll-
ment. I support the court process, but I
disagree with the ruling. We cant afford any
delay weve got to open this school.
Were wasting enormous sums of money.
With a full EIR, the school would likely
open in 2018, Intrieri said. Growing enroll-
ment in the district resulted in the purchase
of the previously-closed Hoover
Elementary School on Summit Drive in
2010. The district is projected to grow to
3,500 students by 2018 from its current size
of 3,234 students, MacIsaac said. Since the
purchase, the district worked to renovate the
building to meet current standards. The plan
for the school called for two 8-foot-wide
curbside bays to be created for pickup and
dropoff along the west side of Summit Drive
adjacent to the school providing enough
curb space for 15 cars. The existing school
site curb would be shifted west to provide for
the bays and two 10-foot-wide vehicle trav-
el lanes, which will increase the width of
Summit Drive to 17 feet in some areas.
Hoover was founded in 1931, closed in
1979 and repurchased by the district for
$4.8 million in 2010. MacIsaac estimated
the costs for renovations and new equip-
ment are about $13 million. Measure D, a
$56 million bond measure passed by voters
in November 2012, was used to cover most
of the costs.
When I see that unnished roof I see dol-
lars oating up into the air, said neighbor
Michael Robinson.
Conversely, residents, including Joe
Haggery, led the lawsuit in January 2013.
At a July 2013 hearing, the alliances attor-
ney Kevin Haroff said the district failed to
address trafc impacts in its December 2012
mitigated negative declaration study and
review. A mitigated negative declaration is
like an environmental impact review but
less extensive.
We dont want to see any children killed
on these streets, Haggery said. We wanted
the school to go forward with the proper
legal standing. From the beginning we have
worried about the safety the narrow
curves and no sidewalks. We were not given
the opportunity to really share our concerns
openly.
Meanwhile, Burlingame Public Works
Director Syed Murtuza said he sees a lot of
fears and anxieties surrounding what will
happen when the school opens.
From an engineering point of view, its
very important to analyze each of these
options in a quantitative way, he said.
Analyze the environmental and traffic
impacts and present them as fact folks
can choose to comment and respond accord-

Billionaire testifies
in Martins Beach dispute
Abillionaire technology mogul tes-
tied that he didnt recall details about
the decision to deny public access to a
once-popular Northern California
beach.
Sun Microsystems co-founder Vinod
Khosla appeared in a San Mateo
County courtroom Monday afternoon
to testify in the civil dispute.
Khosla said he didnt remember see-
ing certain documents, including one
from a judge saying he would need
approval to close off access to the
beach.
I get 500 to 1,000 pages of docu-
ments a week. Im not trying to be
unreasonable, that is what my life is
like, Khosla testied.
Khosla is accused of closing the
only road that leads to Martins Beach
in violation of the California Coastal
Act. The beach is about 35 miles south
of San Francisco.
I was dumfounded at the lack of abil-
ity to explain or remember, the plain-
tiff attorney Joe Cotchett said.
Under state law, the entire coast is
public property, including beaches
below the mean high tide. Without the
road access, however, Martins Beach
can only be reached from the ocean.
Khosla purchased the adjacent prop-
erty in 2008.
Khoslas attorney, Jeffrey Essner,
says the public was previously allowed
to access the beach for a fee, so there
was never a right of public access.
Fire burns tan
bark at San Jose landfill
SAN JOSE Fire ofcials are trying
to determine the cause of a blaze that
tore through tan bark at a San Jose
landll, creating a plume of smoke
visible for miles.
The three-alarm re at the Zanker
Road Landll was reported around 4:30
p.m. Sunday. About 50 firefighters
were called in to ght the blaze, but
they were hampered by gusty winds
and a re hydrant a half mile down the
road.
San Jose Fire Capt. Reggie Williams
says the re was also hard to put out
because it burned in 20-to-30-foot
piles of tan bark.
According to the landlls website,
it recycles wood waste among other
materials.
No one was injured in the blaze. A
recycling machine was damaged.

LOS ANGELES The trial rollout of
Californias new standardized exams,
administered for the rst time on computers,
has been plagued by technical glitches,
according to an investigation.
Students taking the tests this spring expe-
rienced slow connections, frozen screens
and mysterious log-offs and in some
cases their work disappeared completely,
the Los Angeles Times reported Monday.
Because it was a trial run, the results will
not be used to evaluate students, teachers or
schools.
I think the results would be horrible if
the tests had been counted this year, said
Elizabeth Topkis, the testing coordinator at
the Los Angeles Center for Enriched Studies.
This was considered a year to allow school
districts to work out problems and get used
to the new exams, which will be covered by
$51 million set aside in the state budget.
The California Assessment of Student
Performance and Progress exam replaces
multiple-choice, ll-in-the-bubble exams,
taken with pencil and paper.
For years, those test scores dened the
progress of schools and districts, determin-
ing awards and sanctions, even real estate
prices, the Times said. In some places,
including Los Angeles, the scores were
linked to teacher evaluations.
Students complained that the tests were
harder both in terms of content and in
using computers.
For the rst time, some questions have
more than one correct answer; many are
open-ended. Others include listening to
audio. To answer some questions, students
must create a graph or a geometric shape.
Also included is a performance task that
follows a 30-minute scripted lesson from
the teacher and culminates in an essay, the
newspaper said.
The questions themselves are based on
new state learning standards, called the
Common Core, adopted by 44 states, which
are supposed to focus on deeper learning
skills rather than rote memorization.
As of last week, more than 2.7 million
students had completed the new standardized
tests; a total of 3.2 million are scheduled to
take the new exam before June 6.

Gay couples marry in
Arkansas, most clerks sit out
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. More than 200
gay couples obtained Arkansas marriage
licenses Monday after a judge tossed out the
states 10-year-old same-sex marriage ban,
but only at a handful of courthouses as an
overwhelming majority of county clerks in
this part of the Bible Belt said they rst
wanted the state Supreme Court to weigh in.
Attorney General Dustin McDaniel
who recently announced his personal sup-
port for same-sex marriage rights but said
he would defend the law led paperwork
Monday to at least temporarily preserve the
ban, which voters approved by a 3-to-1
margi n.
In other states that have seen gay-mar-
riage bans overturned, judges either issued
stays with their orders or state lawyers
sought them with some immediacy.
McDaniels ofce requested a stay from the
local judge Friday night but had to wait until
the full court record was available Monday
before going to the state Supreme Court,
under the justices rules. Justices gave both
sides until midday Tuesday to file argu-
ments.

WASHINGTON Federal
Communications Commission Chairman
Tom Wheeler is broadening the scope of
his proposed open Internet rules and sug-
gesting tougher standards for Internet
providers who wish to create paid priority
fast lanes on their networks.
According to an FCC official, Wheeler
made revisions after the commission
received 35,000 public comments many
of them expressing outrage. The FCC first
briefed reporters on the proposed rules last
month.
Wheeler, a Democrat, also tweaked his
proposal after the five-member commis-
sions two other Democrats expressed con-
cern.
The new draft clearly reflects public
input the commission has received, the
FCC official said in a statement. The draft
is explicit that the goal
is to find the best
approach to ensure the
Internet remains open
and prevent any prac-
tices that threaten it.
Among the additions
is a provision that would
presume it to be illegal
for an Internet provider
to prioritize the traffic
of an affiliated service for example, it
would be considered illegal if Comcast
Corp. tried to give faster treatment to
video streams of its subsidiary network,
NBC.
However, an Internet service provider
would be allowed to challenge that pre-
sumption, the official said.
In the revised proposal, Wheeler also
seeks comment on the possibility of treat-
ing broadband providers as so-called com-
mon carriers like telephone companies,
which are subject to greater regulation than
Internet providers, under Title II of the
Communications Act of 1934.
The FCC and Wheeler have so far avoided
subjecting cable and telecoms companies
to Title II treatment, although Wheeler has
said the option remains on the table. In the
new proposal, he entertains more discus-
sion on it than his initial proposal did.
The proposal also asks whether all paid-
priority fast lanes should be banned out-
right. The previous version only asks if
some paid-priority services should be
banned.
Wheeler has faced a torrent of criticism
after the earlier proposal made it appear as
if he was overhauling the principle of net-
work neutrality, which says Internet serv-
ice providers should not be allowed to dis-
criminate against Web traffic depending on
its source.

ASHEBORO, N.C. The entrepreneur
who was locked in a too-close-to-call
Democratic primary with former American
Idol singer Clay Aiken died Monday, his
family said.
Keith Crisco, 71, died after an accidental
fall at his home in Asheboro, about 65
miles west of Raleigh, according to a state-
ment from his family.
He was a remarkable man with a tremen-
dous dedication to his family and to public
service, the statement said.
Aiken was leading Crisco by fewer than
400 votes after the contest last Tuesday.
If enough new votes
turn up to make Crisco
the winner, local
Democrats will select a
new nominee, state elec-
tions board spokesman
Josh Lawson said. If not,
Aiken will be the nomi-
nee, he said. The vote is
expected to be certified
Thursday.
The nominee will face Republican incum-
bent Renee Ellmers in November in the
GOP-leaning 2nd Congressional District.
Crisco had been North Carolinas top
business recruiter for four years under former
Gov. Beverly Perdue, who
left ofce in 2013. Crisco
was born to a Republican
family on a Stanly
County dairy farm in
North Carolina, he said in
an interview last month.
I did pull corn. I did
plow. I did milk cows. I
did do all the things you
do on a small farm,
Crisco said.
He got a scholarship to study science at
the countys Pfeiffer University. There, he
met his wife and her family of yellow-dog
Democrats, and Crisco said he converted.

Premium hikes
coming due to
Affordable Care
Las Vegas Review-Journal
H
ardly a day goes by with-
out more depressing
news about the effects of
the Affordable Care Act, on both
the state and national levels. And
whats likely to come next has the
potential to affect far more
Nevadans than did the initial roll-
out back in October.
Thanks to a politically expedi-
ent delay by the Obama adminis-
tration, the laws employer cover-
age mandate doesnt take effect
until 2015. However, early plan
renewals already are rolling in. As
reported by the Review-Journals
Jennifer Robison on Sunday, the
numbers are astounding, with
some businesses facing premium
spikes ranging from 35 percent to
a whopping 120 percent, accord-
ing to local insurance brokers.
These businesses cant afford to
swallow the massive increases, so
employees will bear the burden
especially young, healthy males.
Thats because Obamacare, by
design, prohibits insurers from
offering lower rates to healthier
groups of people and caps the
allowed premium gap between
older and younger enrollees. Its
like if there were no safe-driver
discounts with State Farm, insur-
ance broker Frank Nolimal of
Assurance Ltd. told Robison.
Everybody has the same rate,
whether you have three DUIs or
youre a (nondrinking) churchgo-
ing Mormon. Or, sticking with
the auto analogy, its like making
the owner of a Hyundai Sonata pay
the same insurance rate as the
owner of Porsche 911 Cabriolet.
Of course, that assumes employ-
ees can keep their employer-based
coverage.
Employees who lose their plans
will, by law, have to purchase
overpriced plans from Nevada
Health Link the disastrous per-
formance of the states exchange
has been well-documented or
from a company that sells
Obamacare compliant policies,
or pay the penalty tax for not
doing so.
Las Vegas insurance broker
William Wright told Robison the
premium changes put as many as
90,000 policies statewide at risk
of cancellation or nonrenewal this
fall more than three times the
25,000 enrollees who were affect-
ed in October, when Obamacare-
compliant plans rst rolled out.
All this amounts to a huge
nancial burden on businesses and
employees, with Obamacare not
only taking more money from
employers and workers, but caus-
ing great harm to the economy.
The Obama administrations
efforts to delay the most costly
and painful parts of the Affordable
Care Act will result in even harsh-
er political consequences for
Democrats, who approved the law
without a single Republican vote.
When employees see massive
wage losses due to equally mas-
sive premium increases, or when
they lose their insurance or per-
haps even their job, theyll cer-
tainly understand the importance
of repealing the Obamacare mon-
strosity. Novembers ballot will
give them a chance to say as
much.
Letters to the editor
Invaluable support at
Bridgepointe Ice Rink
Editor,
In response to Jack
Kirkpatricks letter (The high
cost of youth sports in the May 8
edition of the Daily Journal), I
would like to get across that the
Bridgepointe facility has been
supportive to people in need.
My son started playing competi-
tive ice hockey at Bridgepointe
ve years ago. Hockey Director
Mario Morrissette knew I was a
widow supporting two children.
Mario made it clear to me that my
son would not be denied the
opportunity to play hockey
because of nances. If I could not
get my son to practices, games,
tournaments or summer camps,
Mario made arrangements with
other hockey families or personal-
ly got him there. When the blade
on his skate broke, Mario went
into his ofce and brought out
another pair for my son. Mario
also collected hockey sticks over
the years from semi-professional
players for my son.
Mr. Kirkpatrick, please do not
make judgement that Bridgepointe
caters only to upper-middle class
citizens and does not support fam-
ilies in need. They made it possi-
ble for my son to play for four
years. I know my son would not
have gotten the nancial support
and extra time on the ice to hone
his skills from any of the other
Bay Area rinks.
This past season, my son did
not play because I could not drive
him to Cupertino, Dublin and
Vacaville for weekly practices. If
my son had continued playing, I
believe he could have played in
college which was his goal. By
the way, my son is Asian.

Urging another war
Editor,
The Wall Street Journal, in
Other voices on Monday, claims
that we should provide military aid
to Ukraine. The WSJ, like many
other of our news media, claim
that Russia is interfering in
Ukraine, while ignoring our own
interference in the ongoing
imbroglio. Once triggered, howev-
er, conicts, we should remember,
produce disastrous results. First,
would there be enough of our
young kids who could be persuad-
ed to willingly ght and die to
Protect Our Country against
Russian aggression in the
Ukraine? Not likely; not any
more. Adraft of our kids? Just try
it. Besides, wed probably have to
ask China to subsidize our war
against Russian aggression
against the Ukraine. And how like-
ly is it that China would willingly
loan us the wherewithal to conduct
our foolishness against Russia?

Demise of regional
occupational program
Editor,
With the demise of the Regional
Occupational Program in San
Mateo County and statewide we are
losing a fast-track job-training.
The exibility of ROP is vital.
Programs in community college
are not always efcient due to their
compartmentalization. For exam-
ple, automotive technology may
be in three parts, one part per
semester whereas, ROP was
designed to move students through
the training process as a student
gains his skills. It is seamless so
that many students do not need to
wait around for part two, part
three. In computers prociency in
keyboarding leads to training in
various programs as fast as the
student can consume the knowl-
edge/training over a shorter period
of time in the San Mateo Daily
Journal in Letters: The value of
auto shop (in the May 12 issue of
the Daily Journal). The sooner we
can train people in their profes-
sion, the sooner they may be
hired. As soon as people can start
earning money, they may decide to
return to college.

Where is the
voice of feminism?
Editor,
Two-hundred-and-seventy-six
Nigerian young girls have been
kidnapped by an Islamist terror
group furious that these girls
have committed the sacrilege of
going to school. Now where is the
voice of our feminist activists?
The National Organization of
Women (NOW), the self-pro-
claimed largest feminist organiza-
tion, is absolutely silent. I
checked out its website. It claims
its mission is to stop violence
against women. Yet when hun-
dreds of schoolgirls are kidnapped
and sold into slavery, on the
NOWwebsite, there is not one
word of protest, not one cry of
outrage. Why?

Support for
Raigoza for controller
Editor,
I support Juan Raigoza for San
Mateo County controller. This
ofce requires a specialized knowl-
edge of governmental accounting.
Its very different than public
accounting and Juan Raigoza has
that special training and experi-
ence, so there is no need for on-
the-job training. He has been
trained and has worked in both
public and private sectors.
Transparency is his byword and
he has lived by that credo during
his tenure as San Mateo County
assistant controller. Raigoza
works in a very fair, evenhanded
manner and hes unappable under
stress. Thats important.
As a longtime San Mateo
County resident, Im glad we have
the opportunity to choose a per-
son that has the proper skills and
training to step right into the job.
Vote for Juan Raigoza for San
Mateo County controller.

Someone must answer for
Tai Wu parking violations
Editor,
Who does the Millbrae Planning
Department think they are fooling
(Tai Wu asked to make changes
in the May 7 edition of the Daily
Journal)? They allowed Tai Wu to
be constructed, knowing very well
they were not conforming to the
building codes, by allowing con-
struction to start and nish with-
out any onsite parking.
Now they are trying to cover up
the problem by allowing Tai Wu to
rent space from other businesses.
Who is to say those businesses
will remain open or be sold to
someone who will cancel any
lease agreement? Who is to say
the customers will park in those
designated lots? Human nature
says the customers will continue
to park in residential areas and in
front of nearby businesses that are
already losing business because of
Tai Wu parking. All construction
must go through several progress
inspections and a nal inspection.
The building inspection depart-
ment must have been either blind
or not very knowledgeable to have
let any of the violations pass.
If Tai Wu was supposed to have
111 parking spaces, why were
they not put under ground like the
apartment complexes are required
to? Did the planning department
believe they would appear out of
the blue? What makes Tai Wu so
special? I believe special favors
were applied and may be illegal.
Someone must answer for these
violations. The neighbors have a
very legitimate and legal com-
plaint with the city.
The planning department is try-
ing to cover up the parking issue
by citing other issues like re
apparatus, seating and PG&E
meter noise. Residents and busi-
ness owners shouldnt take this
lightly. Fight for your rights. The

Big movers
By Steve Rothwell
NEW YORK The stock market
returned to record levels on Monday as
investors regained their appetite for
riskier stocks.
After beating down Internet and small
companies for two months, investors
decided that those stocks had fallen
enough. Among the big gainers were
Twitter and Facebook, which had
plunged in March and April. The
Russell 2000, an index made up of
small companies, climbed the most in
two months.
Investors have been more cautious
this year than last. Theyve favored
big, less volatile stocks that pay rich
dividends because of concerns about the
outlook for the economy. Utility and
energy companies have been among
the beneciaries of this trend, and have
outperformed the overall market in
2014.
While interest rates remain low,
investors will likely keep getting
drawn back into stocks after any sell-
off because holding cash isnt generat-
ing any returns, said Tim Courtney,
chief investment ofcer at Exencial, an
independent wealth management com-
pany.
There is some bargain buying in
some of the names that got hit hard in
March and April, said Courtney
On Monday, the Standard & Poors
500 index rose 18.17 points, or 1 per-
cent, to nish at an all-time high of
1,896.65. The index last closed at a
record high on April 2, when it reached
1,890.90.
The Dow Jones industrial average
gained 112.13 points, or 0.7 percent,
to end at 16,695.47 Monday. The
Dows previous record high was
16,583.34 on Friday.
The Nasdaq climbed 71.99 points, or
1.8 percent, to 4,143.86.
The Russell 2000 index rose 26.4
points, or 2.4 percent, to 1,133.65, its
biggest gain since March 4. The index
had slumped almost 10 percent from
March 4 to May 9 as investors sold
riskier stocks. The index still remains
down 2.6 percent for the year after surg-
ing 37 percent in 2013.
Gains on Monday were led by tech-
nology and industrial companies, sec-
tors that are expected to benet most if
the economy starts growing faster.
Facebook rose $2.59, or 4.5 percent,
to $59.83, reducing the stocks decline
since March 10 to 17 percent. Twitter,
another stock that has been beaten
down recently, rose $1.89, or 5.9 per-
cent, to $33.94.
Stocks also got a boost from some
merger news.
Pinnacle Foods surged $4.02, or 13.2
percent, to $34.47 after the company
agreed to be acquired by Hillshire
Brands. Pinnacles brands include
Duncan Hines and Aunt Jemima, while
Hillshire makes Jimmy Dean and Sara
Lee products. Hillshire fell $1.19, or
3.2 percent, to $35.76.
Even though stocks have largely
moved sideways for most of the year
following a surge in 2013, investors
are still more concerned about missing
the next leg of a rally than a market fall,
said Doug Cote, chief market strategist,
Voya Investment Management.
In government bond trading, prices
fell. The yield on the 10-year Treasury
note climbed to 2.66 percent from 2.63
percent on Friday.
Bond yields started falling at the start
of the year as an unusually harsh winter
put the brakes on the U.S. economy.
They have continued to fall even as
reports show the economy is strength-
ening again.
Stock market touches another record

WASHINGTON The U.S. government
ran a big surplus in April, thanks to a ood of
tax payments that helped keep the budget on
track for the lowest annual decit in six
years.
The Treasury Department said Monday
that Aprils surplus totaled $106.9 billion,
down slightly from last Aprils $112.9 bil-
lion surplus. The government typically
runs a surplus during April, when individual
tax returns are due and corporations make
quarterly tax payments.
Through the rst seven months of the 2014
budget year, which began Oct. 1, the decit
totals $306.4 billion. Thats down 37 per-
cent from the same period last year.
The Congressional Budget Ofce is fore-
casting a decit of $492 billion for the full
budget year. That would be the narrowest gap
since 2008.
In 2008, the government recorded a decit
of $458.6 billion, which was the decit up to
that time. But that record was soon eclipsed
as the government ran annual decits sur-
passing $1 trillion for the next four years.
Those decits reected a deep recession. The
downturn reduced tax revenue and increased
government spending to stabilize the nan-
cial system and pay benets for people who
had lost jobs.
So far this budget year, revenue totals
$1.74 trillion, up 8.2 percent from the same
period in 2013. Revenue has been boosted by
a stronger economy, which means more peo-
ple working and paying taxes, thereby reduc-
ing the decit.
Government spending totals $1.6 trillion,
down 8.2 percent from a year ago. The decline
reects efforts by Congress and the adminis-
tration to trim spending.
After peaking at $1.4 trillion in 2009, the
decit has been falling. Last year, it dropped
to $680.2 billion.
Over the next decade, CBO is projecting
that the decits will total $7.6 trillion, $286
billion less than it projected in February. The
biggest factor in the improvement is $165
billion less in projected spending on health
insurance subsidies for policies sold through
exchanges created by the Affordable Care Act.
U.S. on track for narrowest budget gap since 2008

SAN FRANCISCO Think differ-
ent became Apples creed during the
late Steve Jobs reign as CEO. Now,
chief executive Tim Cook is embrac-
ing the idea while making decisions
that would have seemed crazy to his
fabled predecessor.
Apples pending purchase of head-
phone maker and streaming music
company Beats Electronics for $3.2
billion is just the latest example of
Cooks deviation from Jobs, who had
so much confidence in his companys
innovative powers that he saw little
sense in spending large amounts of
money on acquisitions.
Cook became
chief executive in
late August 2011 ,
roughly six weeks
before Jobs died.
But in a number of
ways, he is just
beginning to put
his own imprint on
Apple. Cook is
straying from Jobs
cash-hoarding habits by committing
to return $130 billion to shareholders
through dividends and stock buy-
backs. He has orchestrated a company
stock split and agreed to match
employees charitable contributions
up to $10,000 annually.
Under Cooks leadership, Apple
also has displayed more social
responsibility by working to
improve labor conditions in the over-
seas factories that assemble its
devices and taking steps to reduce
pollution caused by its data centers
and gadgets.
The shift in management philoso-
phy has resulted in an odd twist:
Apple Inc.s pace of innovation has
slowed and it now looks more like a
conventional company than the cor-
porate rebel Jobs tried to cultivate.
Instead of releasing revolutionary
gadgets such as the iPod, iPhone and
iPad, Apple has been mostly upgrad-
ing existing products and figuring out
ways to manage its bulging bank
account since Cook took over.
Chrysler reports $690
million first quarter loss
DETROIT Chrysler Group saw
big sales gains in the first quarter
thanks to the new Jeep Cherokee and
Ram pickup, but it lost money
because of charges related to its merg-
er with Italian automaker Fiat SpA.
Chrysler posted a loss of $690 mil-
lion for the January-March period.
Without one-time costs of $1.2 bil-
lion, the companys net income more
than doubled to $486 million.
In January, Fiat paid $3.65 billion
to a union-run health care trust to
acquire Chryslers remaining shares.
The two companies are in the process
of combining to form Fiat Chrysler
Automobiles, which will be based in
London but maintain significant
operations in both Turin, Italy, and
Auburn Hills, Michigan. Chrysler
Chief Financial Officer Richard
Palmer said Monday that the com-
bined company expects to list its
shares on the New York Stock
Exchange in the fourth quarter of this
year.
Nissan profit rises as
sales outpace industry
TOKYO Nissans quarterly profit
edged up nearly 5 percent as sales
grew around the world and a favorable
exchange rate helped earnings.
Nissan Motor Co. reported Monday
that January-March profit totaled
114.9 billion yen ($1.1 billion), up
from 109.7 billion yen the year
before. Quarterly sales rose more than
20 percent to 3.2 trillion yen ($31
billion).
Nissan said its sales growth was
outpacing the industry. The Japanese
automaker is expecting continued
growth for the current fiscal year that
began April 1, according to CEO
Carlos Ghosn.
Yokohama-based Nissan forecast
annual net profit of 405 billion yen
($4 billion), up 4 percent from 389
billion yen ($3.8 billion) in the last
fiscal year.

On paper, Menlo-Athertons 6-1 victory
over Serra in Mondays Central Coast
Section boys tennis quarternal playoff
seemed like a walk in the park.
With temperatures in the mid-80s and the
tenacity of Serras singles play, it was any-
thing but.
I feel like my shoes are burning, M-A
No. 3 single Nick Fratt said. Im burning
rubber out here.
After M-A swept through doubles play to
take a 3-0 match lead, Serra seemed to have
a stronghold on the No. 1 and No. 2 singles
matches, while the grueling rst set of the
No. 4 singles match was running long.
But Nick Fratt made certain there would be
no dramatic Serra comebacks, as the senior
notched a 6-1, 6-3 victory over Serras
Gordon Barrows to clinch the match for the
Bears. With the win, No. 3-seed M-A
advances to Wednesdays seminal to take
on No. 2-seed Saratoga at the Los Gatos
Swim and Racquet Club.
All the players and the coaches are over-
whelmed at the victory, M-A head coach
Tom Sorenson said. In our dreams, I think
we thought we could be competitive with
anyone. But to come out of a match like this
with a 6-1 score is way beyond anyones
expectations.
M-ANo. 1 single Scott Morris came from
behind to down Serra senior Matt Campana,
4-6, 6-2, 1-0 (4). Serra No. 2 single Peter
Campana scored the only Padres victory of
the afternoon with a 6-2, 6-4 win over Reed
Fratt. M-ANo. 4 single Casey Morris perse-
vered a wildly entertaining rst set to down
Brendon Barrows 7-5, 6-3.
In doubles action, M-As No. 1 team of
Saul Menjivar and Axel Brenner defeated
Eric Dennis and Andrew Olson 6-0, 6-2. M-
A No. 2 doubles Danny LaPorte and Drew
Mathews defeated Matthew McNamara and
Ryan Leung 6-2, 6-3. M-A No. 3 doubles
Alex Iyer and Zach Novak defeated Ali Jafri
and Ryan Cao 6-2, 6-2.

Burlingame senior Leah Goldman set two records in Saturdays Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division meet as the Lady Panthers went on
to win their second title in three years. Goldman will be attending Duke Univsersity in the fall on a full athletic scholarship.
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Leah Goldmans importance to the
Burlingame girls swim team is elementary.
By far, shes one of the most talented
female swimmers that we have, Burlingame
head coach Chris Culp said.
With a record-breaking performance in
Saturdays Peninsula Athletic League Bay
Division Swimming Championships,
Goldman led the Panthers to their second
title in three years. The Burlingame girls
edged Menlo-Atherton 526.5-522, with
Goldmans final leg of the 400-yard
freestyle relay clinching the win.
Earlier in the day, Goldman broke two PAL
records. Her relay team along with Niki
Reynolds, Marie Maxwell and Teresa Tang
won the 200 free relay with a time of
1:38.64, breaking the former PAL record of
1:38.91 set by Burlingame in 2005. In indi-
vidual competition, Goldman won 200 indi-
vidual medley in 2:01.86, breaking the pre-
vious record of 2:02.56 set by Alicia Grima
in 2011.
Because of Goldmans record-breaking
performance in the seniors penultimate
high school meet, she has been named the
San Mateo Daily Journal Athlete of the
Week.
Even though the nal relay of the day was-
nt a record breaker the Lady Panthers
topped M-Aby more than two seconds with
a time of 3:34.30 it was the race of which
she was most mindful. Burlingame went
into the 400 free relay trailing M-Aby two-
and-a-half points. So, when she hit the
water for the nal leg with a lead over M-As
Kindle Van Linge, she wasnt worried about
the record. She was only concerned with
securing the Bay Division crown.
The girls win didnt set off a celebration
though. The Lady Panthers waited until the
Burlingame boys team brought home PAL
Bay Division title as well, even though the
boys had already clinched it before they
closed out the meet with a time of 3:17.24
in the 400 free relay.
As soon as it was over though, the entire
Burlingame varsity squad went crazy.
We all jumped in the pool with Coach
Chris, so that was fun, Goldman said. We
bear-hugged him into the pool and he was
all wet in all his clothes.
Goldman is a lifer in the pool. She started
swimming before she could walk. When she
was 8 years old, she joined her rst club
team at Peninsula Covenant Aquatics in
Redwood City. As a high school freshman,
she moved to Peak Swimming in Saratoga.
But midway through her senior season in
mid-April, she relocated to Palo-Alto-
Stanford Aquatics where she is teammates
with M-Arivals Van Linge and Maddie Pont.
So many people wanted to know why I
switched in the middle of my senior year
but I was just looking for a different sort of
environment, Goldman said. More people
like my peer age, so like seniors in high
school. [Also] I was looking to the future in

A
bout a month ago, the Serra
baseball team was essentially
treading water at 10-10 overall
and 4-6 in West Catholic Athletic League
play.
Now, there might be no team hotter
than the Padres. Serra closed the regular
season with a 7-4 win over St. Ignatius
Friday, its sixth win in a row and fourth
straight in WCAL play to nish the regu-
lar season 8-6 in the WCAL and 16-10
overall. Serra is denitely a team no one
wants to play right now.
How hot is Serra? The Padres have shut
out three of their last four WCAL oppo-
nents and have post-
ed a 1.00 ERAover
that span.
Offensively, the
Padres are swinging
it, posting a .383
batting average over
the last six games.
I think this group
is playing with a lot
of condence right
now, said Serra
manager Craig
Gianinno, who
recently eclipsed the
100-win mark as the Padres head man.
But with a team batting average of .319
and a pitching staff ERAof 2.37, why did
the Padres struggle during the rst two-
thirds of the season? One reason has been
caliber of competition.
As always, we put together a tough
schedule, Gianinno said.
The other reason, however, is just due
to the vagaries of the game.
Its a tough game, Gianinno said.
He pointed to Serras 1-0, eight-inning
loss to St. Francis during which pitcher
Matt Blais pitched into the eighth
inning, allowing one run on just two hits
and was saddled with the loss.
We had four opportunities in that
game to get it done (and we didnt),
Gianinno said. St. Francis had one
opportunity and they got it done. Its just
Serra baseball
on quite a roll

SAN FRANCISCO Tim Lincecum rarely
acknowledges the cheering crowd when he
walks off the mound, though the support of
41,000 when he made his exit Monday
night meant plenty.
Lincecum struck out 11 in his best start of
the year, Tyler Colvin backed him with a
home run and go-ahead, two-run triple in the
seventh inning and the San Francisco
Giants beat the Atlanta Braves 4-2 on
Monday night.
Lincecum (3-2) left to a roaring standing
ovation after pitching a season-high 7 2-3
innings in his rst start of eight getting
past the sixth.
The result today was the best of any game
Ive had so far, Lincecum said. Its pretty
special here every time these guys give you
something like that. Im not one to be the
big acknowledger of something like that,
its kind of hard for me, but I denitely take
it in and denitely appreciate it.
B.J. Upton hit a tying solo homer in the
fth, then was caught stealing on replay
review as the potential go-ahead run in the
top of the seventh.
Upton hit a one-out double and was ruled
to have stolen third on a slide below a reach-
ing Pablo Sandoval. Giants manager Bruce
Bochy challenged the call by third base
umpire Dana DeMuth, and it was overturned
in 2 minutes, 7 seconds.
Bochy said he had nothing to lose at
that stage of the game. Braves manager
Fredi Gonzalez said afterward they got the
call right.
I still thought I was safe, Upton said. I
dont know what evidence they had to over-
turn it.
San Francisco, coming off a 7-3 road trip
to Atlanta, Pittsburgh and Los Angeles, won
for the sixth time in seven home games.
Atlanta had won three in a row.
Lincecum struck out 10 or more for the
36th time in his career and rst since last
July 28 against the Cubs. He retired Chris
Johnson on a swinging strikeout to end the
sixth with runners on rst and second.
It was vintage Timmy the way he had
good secondary pitches going along with
his fastball, Bochy said. Agreat start and
also a great ovation. ... It was nice to see
Lincecum strikes out 11 as Giants take series opener

places where Id like to train when I came
back from school for the summer.
Its going to be quite a voyage home
returning from school as Goldman will be
attending Duke University on a full athletic
scholarship in the fall. Entertaining offers
from University of Texas, Michigan and
USC, she opted to move to Durham, North
Carolina by committing to Duke last
October.
Rigorous schedules are nothing new to
Goldman though. Good thing for her the
hectic schedule includes plenty of time in
the water.
This week we have CCS (playoffs),
which is the last swimming championship
for high school, Goldman said. Then I
have graduation a week after that. Then I
swim and train throughout the summer and
go to Junior Nationals, possibly Nationals,
at the end of July. Then I y out to Duke
in the middle of August.
Changing from Burlingame red to Duke
blue should prove a seamless transition for
Goldman though.
Blue is one of my favorite colors, she
said. So, I already have that color in my
wardrobe.
Antonio Arrellano, Sequoia baseball
Arrellanos pinch-hit, two-run single in
the bottom of the fourth inning turned a 1-0
Cherokee decit into a 2-1 lead on their way
to a 3-1 win over Woodside.
Jesus Jimenez, South City baseball
Jimenez had quite the fth inning in the
Warriors 12-1 win over Pinewood. Not
only did the Warriors score all 12 of their
runs in the inning sending 16 batters to
the plate in the process but Jimenez did
the bulk of the damage, driving in four runs,
including a bases-loaded triple.
Daniel Perez, South City baseball
The pitcher was the recipient of all that
run support in the win over Pinewood. Not
that he really needed it. Perez threw a gem,
scattering ve hits and striking out 12.
Dylan Arsenault, Capuchino baseball
It was quite a week for the sophomore call-
up as he factored into a pair of big wins for
the Mustangs, enabling them to tie with
Sequoia for the PAL Ocean Division title. In
a 7-6 win over Aragon Tuesday, Arsenault
drove in what turned out to be the game-win-
ning run. In the rematch Thursday, it was
Arsenault who hit a slow chopper to short-
stop that was thrown away at rst base,
allowing the runner from second to score to
give the Mustangs a 1-0, nine-inning win.
Mike McWhirter, Mills baseball
The catcher drove in three runs including
a two-run home run and scored what turned
out to be the winning run in Vikings 5-4
win over Hillsdale, denying the Knights a
share of the PAL Ocean Division title.
Jared Milch, Terra Nova baseball
Another sophomore call-up, Milch ran
his record to 5-1 in PAL play with a ve-
inning, one-hit effort in the Tigers 3-0 win
over Menlo-Atherton.
Anthony Gordon, Terra Nova baseball
Making just his second start of the season
and recovering from injury, Gordon pitched
his rst career high school complete game,
holding Burlingame to just two runs in the
Tigers 5-2 win, clinching a share of the
PAL Bay Division title.
Erin Goode, Menlo-Atherton softball
Goode drove in ve runs in a pair of wins
for the Bears last week. She drove in three in
a 10-0 win over Jefferson, including a two-
run homer. She came back with a two-RBI
effort in a 15-5 win over South City.
Ally Howe,
Sacred Heart Prep swimming
Howe put on quite a show at the West Bay
Athletic League championships. Not did she
win four times 500 free, 100 back and part
of the 200 medley and 200 free relay teams
she did it in record time. She set a new
school and WBAL record in the 500, where
her time of 4:44.53 was an automatic All
American time and the second-fastest time
in CCS history. She set a school and WBAL
record in the 100 back, while both wins in
the relays were both WBAL records.
Brenden Barrows, Serra tennis
Battling blustery winds, Barrows gave the
Padres their fourth point and the win in the
Padres 5-2 win over St. Ignatius in the sec-
ond round of the CCS tournament. Barrows
cruised through the rst set 6-1, but dropped
the second set 6-4, before rallying for a 6-3
win in the third set and clinching the win for
the Padres.
John Besse, Serra baseball
The sophomore stifled Bellarmine last
week, holding the Bells to just two hits
while going the distance in a 2-0 win.
Frankie Hattler,
Sacred Heart Prep lacrosse
Hattler did a little bit of everything in the
Gators 22-4 win over Burlingame. He scored
six goals and added a pair of assists in the
victory.
Ro Mahanty, Hillsdale baseball
One of the standout players in the PAL
Ocean Division this season, Mahanty saved
his best regular-season start for last as the
right-hander red a no-hitter last Tuesday in
Hillsdales 4-0 win over Mills. The junior
also proved the hero at the plate, going 2
for 3 with a run and three RBIs.

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

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

Wiggins pacing
Tour of California
FOLSOM Bradley Wiggins of Britain,
the 2012 Tour de France winner and Olympic
time trial gold medalist, powered to a 44-
second victory Monday in the Stage 2 indi-
vidual time trial and moved into the race lead
at the Tour of California.
Wiggins (SKY), the 98th rider in the eld of
128, completed the at 12.5-mile course in 23
minutes and 18 seconds at an average speed of
32.16 mph.
Rohan Dennis (Garmin-Sharp) of Australia,
who nished about one hour prior to Wiggins,
was second in 24:02.
American Taylor Phinney (BMC) was third
in 24:10.
Wiggins, 34, leads the eight-day race by
44 seconds over Dennis and 52 seconds over
Phinney.
"I'm in really good shape," Wiggins said.
"I'm a bit ahead of where I was in 2012 for
the Tour de France. "So far, so good. You
have to plan your races and so far it's been
better than I planned."
Alison Powers of the United States
(UnitedHealthcare) claimed the earlier 20-
rider women's time trial, held on the same
course, in 27:40.
Mark Cavendish of Britain (Omega Pharma
Quick-Step), who held the rst-day lead after his
sprint win in Stage 1, nished 27th in Stage 2.
Phinney, who was a co-favorite in the stage,
fell behind quickly at the halfway time check
and couldn't make up time.
"I thought I could have done better, but I not
really a hot weather rider," Phinney said. "But I
did the best as I could and that's what it is all
about. So I have to be satised."
Wiggins hadn't ridden in the Tour of
California since 2008. But instead of racing in
the Tour of Italy, Wiggins had focused on the
event in the preparation for the Tour de France.
"It was a really fast course," Wiggins said. "I
take it one day at a time. It will be a tough day
tomorrow in the heat."

LOS ANGELES Miami Marlins ace Jose
Fernandez was put on the 15-day disabled list
Monday because of a sprained right elbow,
spurring worries that his injury might be even
more severe.
The 21-year-old Fernandez was the NL
Rookie of the Year last season. He is 4-2 with a
2.44 ERAin eight starts this year.
Several young pitchers have recently had
elbow problems and needed Tommy John sur-
gery. Matt Harvey, Stephen Strasburg and
Patrick Corbin are among the All-Stars who
have had the ligament transplant operation
that can take 12 to 18
months for recovery.
Thats probably what
everyone is going to talk
about and continue to talk
about, Marlins manager
Mike Redmond said before
Monday nights game
against the Los Angeles
Dodgers.
Weve protected him.
Weve been consistent in how weve used him,
with his workload. Weve given him extra
days. Thats a question I dont think anybody
has the answer to.
Fernandez had been scheduled to start
Wednesday at Dodger Stadium.
He denitely wasnt going to throw
(Sundays scheduled bullpen session at San
Diego) with a sore arm. Were going to take
every precaution necessary. He said he felt dis-
comfort. So immediately, were getting him the
treatment and the rest he needs, Redmond said.
I think youre always concerned when
youre talking about elbows. Thats something
we have to wait to nd out. But I think were
always concerned about that with pitchers,
especially, he said.
Fernandez made 28 starts last year, going 12-
6 with a major league-best .182 opponents
batting average. His 2.19 ERA was second in
the majors behind three-time defending ERA
champ Clayton Kershaw. Fernandez struck out
187 in 172 2-3 innings.
You see how much he means, so much to our
team and our rotation and really all of baseball.
Hes been a dynamic player. Hes been a huge
lift and a huge spark for our team. We just hope
everything goes well and he just has to take a
little bit of a break, Redmond said.
The Marlins recalled left-hander Dan
Jennings from Triple-A New Orleans. He
made 79 relief appearances for the Marlins
over the previous three seasons, going 3-5
with a 2.96 ERA.

OAKLAND Jesse Chavez struck out
seven and came up an inning short of his
rst career complete game as the Oakland
Athletics held on to beat the Chicago White
Sox 5-4 on Monday night for their season-
high fth straight win.
Chavez (3-1) gave up ve hits and walked
two. He allowed only solo home runs to
Dayan Viciedo and Jose Abreu, whose
major-league leading 14th long ball in the
ninth chased the right-hander.
Josh Donaldson hit a go-ahead, two-run
homer in the fth, and Josh Reddick hit a
tying triple in the second off John Danks
(3-3) during Oaklands win. Jed Lowrie
added a two-run double in the seventh that
proved pivotal after the White Sox scored
three runs in the ninth.
Left-hander Sean Doolittle recorded the
nal three outs for his second save.
Danks gave up six hits and three runs in
six innings, striking out ve and walking
two. Chicago, which has lost four of ve,
made things interesting till the end.
After Abreus homer, Fernando Abad
walked Adam Dunn. Then struggling reliev-
er Jim Johnson gave up a double to Viciedo
and an RBI single to Alexei Ramirez.
Johnson, who the As signed from
Baltimore in the offseason to be their clo-
sure, left to a familiar sound in Oakland: a
shower of boos from the home crowd.
Paul Konerko hit a sac-
rifice fly that sliced
Oaklands lead to 5-4.
Then Doolittle got
Alejandro De Aza to y
out before striking out
Tyler Flowers.
The AL-West leading
As, coming off a home
sweep of Washington,
added another layer of
frustration for a Chicago
team beginning a nine-
game road trip that also
stops in Houston and
Kansas City.
White Sox manager
Robin Ventura already
was agitated after a 5-1
home loss to Arizona on
Sunday, calling it unin-
spired effort. And his
night wasnt any better
after the White Sox spent
about eight hours on a plane because of
storms in Chicago that delayed their ight
to the West Coast.
They still looked sharp at the start, get-
ting a solo home run from Viciedo in the
second. It was his third homer of the season.
Reddick came back in the bottom of the
inning with a two-out triple that scored
Nick Punto. It was the third triple of the sea-
son for Reddick, who entered the game in a
4-for-32 slump. He added a bunt single and a
walk before striking out with the bases load
in the eighth.
The White Sox wasted an opportunity to
retake the lead when they advanced runners
to second and third on Chavezs wild pitch
in the fth. Conor Gillaspie hit a hard line
drive with two outs but right into center
elder Craig Gentrys glove.
Then came Donaldsons drive in the fth,
lining a 2-0 fastball into the seats in left for
his eighth home run. Lowrie added a two-run
double off reliever Daniel Webb in the sev-
enth to stretch Oaklands lead to 5-1.
Chavez came oh-so close to his rst com-
plete game. He had never completed more
than seven innings, which he has done
three times this year.
Chavez has allowed one earned run or
fewer in six of his eight starts this season.
The As are a 7-1 when he pitches.
NOTES Athletics center fielder Coco
Crisp took swings in batting practice
before sitting out for the fth straight game
with a strained neck. He said hes day to day.
White Sox left-hander Chris Sale, out
since April 17 because of a strained muscle
near his left elbow, is scheduled to begin a
rehab assignment in Triple-A Charlotte on
Thursday.
Left-hander Drew Pomeranz (2-1, 1.45
ERA) makes his second start for the As
opposite Chicagos Scott Carroll on
Tuesday.

him get that ovation. Im sure he
appreciated it very much.
Promoted from Triple-A on
Saturday, Colvin splashed a solo
homer into McCovey Cove beyond
the right-eld arcade in the second
the 65th Giants homer to reach
the water. Brandon Crawford had
the other this season, on April 13
against Colorado.
My rst at-bat at home, its a
great feeling right there, Colvin
said.
Giants leadoff man Angel Pagan
produced his fourth three-hit game
of the season.
Javier Lopez surrendered Freddie
Freemans ninth-inning splash
homer, then Sergio Romo nished
for his 13th save. It marked the rst
game with two splash homers since
Barry Bonds did it by himself on
May 18, 2002.
Gavin Floyd (0-1) remained win-
less after his second start of 2014.
Floyd struck out eight over 6 1-3
innings in his rst outing against
the Giants since 2008. The right-
hander was 2-0 against the Giants
and won in his only previous
appearance at AT&T Park while
with the White Sox.
Their pitcher was putting up
zeroes so I knew I had to keep exe-
cuting and keep us in the game.
Things didnt go our way in the
seventh inning, Floyd said. I feel
like Im building off of each time I
got out there.
Braves left elder Justin Upton
returned after being held out
Sunday. He bruised his lower back
Saturday when hit by a pitch from
Chicagos Jeff Samardzija.
Brandon Belt has opted to under-
go surgery on his broken left
thumb to have two pins inserted.
The procedure will be performed
by Dr. Tim McAdams on Tuesday
at Stanford.

GIANTS
In the No. 3 singles matchup, Nick Fratt
dazzled late with an array of difcult shots
and gained a 4-3 edge over Gordon Barrows
in a thrilling second set. Nick Fratt punctu-
ated the long nal rally of the next game
with a backhand ip shot while converging
on net to go up 5-3. Then he gained a 40-15
advantage in the nal game with sweet half-
volley drop. Two serves later, Gordon
Barrows return went long to clinch the
match for M-A.
Having paired with his brother Reed Fratt
throughout the Peninsula Athletic League
playoffs, Nick Fratt had been out of singles
action for two weeks. He returned to solo
action Friday in M-As 6-1 win over
Homestead in its CCS opener. However,
Nick Fratt endured the only individual loss
for the Bears, which motivated him to put in
a lot of extra work Saturday.
That was in the back of my mind the
whole time I was practicing, that Id have to
come up big to provide the ultimate win for
my team, Nick Fratt said.
M-A got its rst individual win Monday
from No. 1 doubles Menjivar and Brenner,
who seemed to frustrate Dennis and Olson
early by getting their rst serves inbounds
then maintaining the pressure with strong
returns and net play.
The strength of this years M-A squad is
its depth. Because of it, the Bears have been
able to mix and match to nd its most pro-
ductive lineup. Menjivar, a senior, and
Brenner, a sophomore, paired up at approx-
imately the midway point of the season.
Since then, they have lost only one individ-
ual doubles match this season a PALplay-
off individual matchup with M-Ateammates
Reed and Nick Fratt.
Our doubles have always been steady,
Menjivar said. Weve always been improv-
ing on our skills and focusing on the long-
term goals of CCS and just formatting the
best teams to do well.
Menjivar and Brenner are looking forward
to M-As rematch with Saratoga as much as
anyone. The Bears lost 5-2 to the now-CCS
No. 2 seed early in the year at the Fresno
Tournament. The fth match of the year for
M-A, it was only the second match of the
year for Menjivar and Brenner, who were
each paired with different doubles partners
at the time. Menjivar had just returned from
a foot injury that cost him three matches.
Brenner had recently joined the team late
after nishing his season with the Bears
boys soccer team.
At a point though, Mondays showdown
with Serra seemed to hinge on the rst set in
the No. 4 singles matchup. M-A freshman
Casey Morris showcased his strength from
the backline while Serra senior Brendon
Barrows showed great front-to-back agility.
Tied at 5-5 in the rst set, the two battled
through three deuces before Casey Morris
nally broke the tiebreaker by showing he
too can cover ground, sprinting hard
towards net to eld a drop shot with a lob
over Brendon Barrows to take a pivotal 6-5
lead.
Hes a great competitor, Brendon
Barrows said. It made for a great rst set
and it made for a fun tennis match.
By the start of the second set between
Casey Morris and Brendon Barrows, Nick
Fratt had just put the match away for M-A.
I think the thing that killed me was when
my brother lost and I knew we werent going
to move on, Brendon Barrows said. I
think that was the nail in the cofn.
After Serra nished second in Northern
California last year, the Padres had their
work cut out for them with a lot of turnover
this season. Serra head coach Marcus
Charles said he was content with his teams
overall performance in 2014.
They faced the challenge, Charles said.
The challenge was within themselves of
meeting the expectations of themselves.
They had a slow beginning, but at the end I
think they learned a lot through this sea-
son.
For an M-A team that owns just one CCS
team title, dating back to 1985, the 2014
season continues to be one of the teams
strongest showings in modern history.
This is the most special day in my coach-
ing career, Sorenson said. And I think
every boy here feels absolutely privileged
to be aboard.

NEW YORK In a sign U.S. coach
Jurgen Klinsmann is unsettled on his
defense a month before the World Cup, the
Americans selected the mostly untested trio
of John Brooks, Timmy Chandler and
DeAndre Yedlin on Monday for their 30-man
preliminary roster.
Chandler, a speedy right back with
Nuremberg in Germany, made his U.S. debut in
2011 and balked at playing in 2012 qualiers.
He has not appeared for the Americans since
February 2013, when he made his rst com-
petitive appearance at Honduras in the open-
ing match of the nal round of qualifying.
I think hes a player who can make a dif-
ference if hes on his highest level,
Klinsmann said.
Yedlin, a 20-year-old right back, has made
just two international appearances, as a late
second-half substitute this year in exhibi-
tions against South Korea and Mexico.
Brooks, a 21-year-old central defender,
made his debut in August and has just three
appearances, in exhibitions against
Bosnia-Herzegovina, Austria and Ukraine.
Klinsmann also selected 18-year-old
winger Julian Green, who made his national
team debut last month. He is among a group
of German-Americans on the roster that
includes Brooks, Chandler and Fabian
Johnson; midelder Jermaine Jones; and
forward Terrence Boyd.
We have two huge talents, Klinsmann
said of Green and Yedlin. It will be interest-
ing to see now how they take that challenge
because, obviously, they dont have the
experience like other players have.
Klinsmann omitted several veterans, a
group that includes forward Eddie Johnson
and midelder Sacha Kljestan. He selected
11 defenders, 10 midelders and six for-
wards who will be evaluated during a two-
week training camp that opens Wednesday
at Stanford, California. He must submit a
23-man roster to FIFAby June 2, and most
teams take eight defenders, eight mideld-
ers and four forwards.
Half the players are from Major League
Soccer, with four each from Englands
Premier League and Germanys Bundesliga.
Two are from Mexicos league, and one
apiece from Austria, France, Netherlands,
Norway and Turkey.
Part of Klinsmanns thought process
will be deciding whether Geoff Cameron is
a right back or central defender, and
whether Fabian Johnson is an outside
back or a midfielder.
There is going to be a lot of competi-
tion. Thats why Jurgen is bringing in 30
rather than cutting it down to 23 right
away, said defender Michael Parkhurst,
who joined the Columbus Crew this season
after an unsuccessful stint in Germany. I
dont know going into camp right now if
Im ghting for left back or right back.
Many of the defenders thought four years
ago to be 2014 candidates werent even in
contention, a group that includes Gale
Agbossoumonde, Kevin Alston, Jonathan
Bornstein, Eric Lichaj, Chad Marshall, Ike
Opara, Heath Pearce and Jonathan Spector.
In a sign of the lack of progress among
youth players, Mix Diskerud and Boyd were
the only selections from the 20-man group
on the under-23 team that failed to qualify
for the 2012 London Olympics.
The 30-year-old Johnson, a member of
the 2006 U.S. roster but among the nal
cuts in 2010, scored ve goals in qualifying
for the 2014 tournament: two in a 2-1 win at
Antigua and Barbuda in October 2012, the
second goal in the 2-0 victory over Panama
last June in Seattle, and the rst in the
clinching 2-0 win over Mexico last
September at Columbus, Ohio.
It was a very difcult decision based on
what hes done with me the whole time, and
not now having that chance at the last
moment then is a very tough one on him,
Klinsmann said.
Johnson has not scored in eight games
this season with D.C. United.
While I am disappointed, Johnson said
in a statement, I respect coach Jurgen
Klinsmanns decision.
Others in the group left off included
defenders Edgar Castillo, Michael Orozco
and Tim Ream; midfielders Brek Shea,
Benny Feilhaber, Jose Torres and Daniel
Williams; and forwards Herculez Gomez and
Juan Agudelo.
Shea scored the only goal last summer in the
CONCACAF Gold Cup nal against Panama.
As the Americans prepare for their sev-
enth straight World Cup appearance, anoth-
er interesting competition could come at
forward. While Clint Dempsey and Jozy
Altidore appear to be likely starters,
Klinsmann said he views Landon Donovan
as a striker, and the group going to camp
includes Boyd, Aron Johannsson and Chris
Wondolowski.
Ten players were on the 2010 preliminary
roster, including a pair trying for their
fourth World Cup: Donovan and left back
DaMarcus Beasley.
Five players did not appear in any of the
16 qualiers for the 2014 World Cup: No. 3
goalkeeper Nick Rimando, along with
Brooks, Green, Wondolowski and Yedlin.
The Americans play exhibitions against
Azerbaijan on May 27 at San Francisco;
Turkey on June 1 at Harrison, New Jersey;
and Nigeria on June 7 at Jacksonville,
Florida. They travel the following day to
their base camp in Sao Paulo.
At the World Cup, they open against
Ghana on June 16 at Natal, face Cristiano
Ronaldos Portugal six days later in the
Amazon rain forest city of Manaus and close
the group stage against Germany on June 26
at Recife.
The goal is to try to get out of the group,
which gives you the opportunity to get to
the knockout stage, said Dempsey, the
U.S. captain, and then the knockout stage
anything can happen.

MINSK, Belarus Viktor Tikhonov scored twice and Alex
Ovechkin added a goal and two assists Monday as Russia
routed the United States 6-1 for its third straight victory at
the ice hockey world championships.
In the days other big matchup, Canada downed the Czech
Republic 4-3.
Nikolai Kolyomin opened the scoring for Russia and Alex
Ovechkin beat veteran goaltender Tim Thomas with back-
hand on a penalty shot in the rst period for his third goal of
the tournament. Ovechkin set up both of Tikhonovs goals in
the second, with Yevgeni Kuznetsov and Sergei Plotnikov
also scoring for Russia.
Were a good team, we have a good atmosphere in the
dressing room, Kolyomin said. Everybodys ready to work
hard and do his best for the team.
Justin Abdelkader pulled one back for the U.S. to make it 3-1.
Weve got to learn from this game, hopefully be a better
team, Abdelkader said. Its a good learning experience for
us to learn to see how a team plays, like Russia. Russia is a
really good team. Their goalie played tremendous for them.
The Americans outshot Russia 40-23 but 19-year-old rook-
ie goalie Andrei Vasilevski made 39 saves.
Russia leads Group G with nine points from three games,
while the U.S. has six.

the nature of the game, the cruelty of it. Its trying to remind
[the team] its not how you start, its how you nish. Were,
hopefully, starting to peak and get hot at the right time.
Earlier in the season, the Padres had a tough time getting
every aspect of the game ring on all cylinders. One game
the pitching would be on and the hitting off. The next game
it would be vice versa. At other times, the defense failed both
the pitching and the offense.
Weve lost quite a few close games, Gianinno said.
Weve been a hit away or a bounce or a quality at-bat away
(from pulling out those games.)
Gianinno believes a big part of his teams surge in the lat-
ter stages of the regular season is simply the result of the
players trusting in one another as well as themselves individ-
ually. Gianinno has incorporated a number of newcomers to
the varsity squad including eight rst-year juniors, three
sophomores and a freshman. Gianinno said its taken some
time for everyone to mesh together.
Any time youre starting a varsity level with a lot of new
players, I think there is a transitional threshold they have to
go through. For each individual its a different growing
process. I think the thing is making guys feel comfortable
when they are uncomfortable going through the changes,
Gianinno said. Early on, guys were looking around for other
guys to take the baton and get it done. The team has (now)
developed a good attitude. Guys are selling out for each
other.
The Padres will look to continue their winning streak in
the postseason. Up rst is the WCAL tournament beginning
Tuesday and running through Friday. The Padres, the No. 5
seed, will open on the road 4 p.m. at No. 4 Bellarmine, a
team they beat 2-0 May 6. After that is the Central Coast
Section playoffs.
Gianinno, however, is not looking for anything extra. If
his team simply plays the way they have been playing the
last few weeks, the results will take care of themselves.
We have to play our game and we have to execute when we
have the opportunity, and we have to capitalize when the
other team makes a mistake, Gianinno said. Will that guar-
antee a win? Absolutely not, but it certainly gives you more
of a chance to win a baseball game.
While the WCAL baseball tournament is well established,
the inaugural PAL baseball tournament begins Tuesday.
All seven PAL Bay Division teams qualied, along with the
top four teams from the Ocean and Lake Division champion
South City.
The top four Bay Division teams received the top seeds
No. 1 Carlmont, No. 2 Terra Nova, No. 3 Menlo-Atherton
and No. 4 Menlo School and a rst-round bye. That means
the rst-round games are as follows: Aragon at Burlingame,
Hillsdale at Sacred Heart Prep, South City at Half Moon Bay
and Capuchino at Sequoia.
Wednedays quarternals are: the Cap-Sequoia winner at No.
1 Carlmont, the Hillsdale-SHP winner at No. 2 Terra Nova,
the Aragon-Burlingame winner at No. 3 Menlo-Atherton and
the South City-Half Moon Bay winner at No. 4 Menlo.
Thursdays seminals will be at the home of the higher
seed and the championship game is Friday at Half Moon Bay.
All games begin at 4 p.m.
The best rst-round game pits the Ocean Division co-
champs Capuchino and Sequoia against each other, with
the winner getting the top-seeded Scots.

DONETSK, Ukraine Pro-Moscow
insurgents in eastern Ukraine declared inde-
pendence Monday and sought to join
Russia, undermining upcoming presidential
elections, strengthening the Kremlins
hand and putting pressure on Kiev to hold
talks with the separatists following a refer-
endum on self-rule.
Russia signaled it has no intention of
subsuming eastern Ukraine the way it
annexed Crimea in March. Instead, Moscow
is pushing to include eastern regions in
negotiations on Ukraines future sug-
gesting that Russia prefers a political rather
than a military solution to its worst stand-
off with the West since the Cold War.
Such talks are central to a potential path
toward peace outlined Monday by the
Organization for Security and Cooperation
in Europe. The plan laid out by Swiss
President Didier Burkhalter calls on all
sides to refrain from violence and urges
immediate amnesty, talks on decentraliza-
tion and the status of the Russian language.
Thats a key complaint of insurgents who
have seized power in eastern regions and
clashed with government troops and police.
But its up to the Ukrainian government
to take the next step.
Acting Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk
pledged to hold a dialogue with Ukraines
east. But he gave no specics and stopped
short of addressing Sundays referendum and
the declarations of independence in the pro-
Moscow regions of Donetsk and Luhansk.
We would like to launch the broad
national dialogue with the east, center, the
west, and all of Ukraine, Yatsenyuk told a
news conference in Brussels, adding that
the agenda for talks should include changes
to the constitution that would give more
powers to the regions.
Ukraines central government and the
West say the Kremlin has encouraged weeks
of unrest in eastern Ukraine in a possible
attempt to grab more land. Russia says
thats not so, and accuses the West of med-
dling in a region that Moscow sees as its
backyard.
The Ukrainian governments room to
maneuver is shrinking.

WASHINGTON The huge West Antarctic
ice sheet is starting a glacially slow collapse
in an unstoppable way, two new studies
show. Alarmed scientists say that means
even more sea level rise than they gured.
The worrisome outcomes wont be seen
soon. Scientists are talking hundreds of
years, but over that time the melt that has
started could eventually add 4 to 12 feet to
current sea levels.
A NASA study looking at 40 years of
ground, airplane and satellite data of what
researchers call the weak underbelly of West
Antarctica shows the melt is happening
faster than scientists had predicted, crossing
a critical threshold that has begun a domino-
like process.
It does seem to be happening quickly,
said University of Washington glaciologist
Ian Joughin, lead author of one study. We
really are witnessing the beginning stages.
Its likely because of man-made glob-
al warming and the ozone hole which
have changed the Antarctic winds and
warmed the water that eats away at the
feet of the ice, researchers said at a
NASA news conference Monday.
The system is in sort of a chain reaction
that is unstoppable, said NASA glaciolo-
gist Eric Rignot, chief author of the NASA
study in the journal Geophysical Research
Letters. Every process in this reaction is
feeding the next one.
Curbing emissions from fossil fuels to
slow climate change will probably not halt
the melting but it could slow the speed of the
problem, Rignot said.
Rignot, who also is a scientist at the
University of California Irvine, and other
scientists said the grounding line which
could be considered a dam that stops glacier
retreat has essentially been breached. The
only thing that could stop the retreat in this
low-altitude region is a mountain or hill and
there is none. Another way to think of it is
like wine owing from a horizontal uncorked
bottle, he said.
Rignot looked at six glaciers in the region
with special concentration on the Thwaites
glacier, about the size of New Mexico and
Arizona combined. Thwaites is so connected
to the other glaciers that it helps trigger loss
elsewhere, said Joughin, whose study was
released Monday by the journal Science.

WASHINGTON Mark Matulaitis holds
out his arms so the Parkinsons specialist
can check his tremors. But this is no doc-
tors office: Matulaitis sits in his rural
Maryland home as a neurologist a few hun-
dred miles away examines him via the
camera in his laptop.
Welcome to the virtual house call, the
latest twist on telemedicine. Its increas-
ingly getting attention as a way to conve-
niently diagnose simple maladies, such as
whether that runny nose and cough is a
cold or the flu. One company even offers a
smartphone app that lets tech-savvy con-
sumers connect to a doctor for $49 a visit.
Now patient groups and technology
advocates are pushing to expand the digi-
tal care to people with complex chronic
diseases that make a doctors trip more
than just an inconvenience.
Why cant we provide care to people
wherever they are? asks Dr. Ray Dorsey, a
neurologist at the University of Rochester
Medical Center who is leading a national
study of video visits for Parkinsons
patients and sees broader appeal.
Think of taking your mom with
Alzheimers to a big urban medical center.
Just getting through the parking lot
theyre disoriented, he adds. Thats the
standard of care but is it what we should be
doing?
Among the hurdles: While Medicare
covers some forms of telehealth, it does-
nt typically pay for in-home video
exams. Plus, doctors who practice by
video-chat must be licensed in whatever
states their long-distance patients live.
Some states restrict the kind of care and
prescribing available via telemedicine.
About 40 percent of Parkinsons
patients dont see a specialist, in part
because they live too far away, even
though research suggests those who do
fare better, according to the Parkinsons
Action Network.
When Matulaitis first was diagnosed in
2011, his wife had to take a day off work
to drive him more than two hours to a
Parkinsons clinic. Once he was stabilized
on medication, Dorsey enrolled the
Salisbury, Md., man in a pilot study of
video house calls. Set-up was simple: The
doctor emailed a link to video software
designed for patient privacy.
Hes thrilled with the care.
Its just the same as if youve ever done
Facetime on an iPhone, explained
Matulaitis, 59, who continues his virtual
checkups with Dorsey a few times a year.
It allows the doctor to see the patient at a
point where they are at their best.
Telemedicine is broader than a Skype-
like doctor visit. For years, doctors have
delivered different forms of care remotely,
from the old-fashioned phone call to at-
home monitors that measure someones
blood pressure and beam the information
to a clinic. Hospitals routinely set up on-
site video consultations with specialists.
But the virtual house call is gaining
interest. Some insurers offer versions,
such as Wellpoint Inc.s LiveHealth
Online service. Telemedicine provider
American Well is making headlines with
its direct-to-consumer service, offered in
44 states. Psychiatrists are exploring
mental health follow-up counseling from
the privacy of a patients home computer.
New guidelines from the Federation of
State Medical Boards say telemedicine can
be OK without a prior in-person visit, a
change expected to influence licensing
regulations in a number of states, said fed-
eration president Dr. Humayun Chaudhry.
The guidelines hold virtual visits to the
same standards as an office visit, includ-
ing a full medical history and informed
consent, and say patients should be able
to choose among participating doctors.
The group also is finalizing a plan to
make it easier for doctors to practice
across state lines.
But does a virtual exam translate into
better outcomes for the chronically ill?
Theres an evidence gap that needs to
be filled, said Romana Hasnain-Wynia of
the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research
Institute, an agency created under the new
health care law to study which medical
treatments and procedures work best.
With a $1.7 million grant from PCORI,
Dorseys study is randomly assigning
about 200 Parkinsons patients from
around the country to receive either their
usual care or added virtual checkups from a
specialist. His pilot studies have suggest-
ed telemedicine allows needed care such as
medication adjustments while saving
patients time.
As for people seeking even a seemingly
simple diagnosis, there are other ques-
tions such as how to avoid overprescrib-
ing antibiotics. Yes, a smartphone camera
may spot signs of strep throat. But
national guidelines urge a strep test before
giving antibiotics, to be sure a virus isnt
to blame.
You have to be a touch more thoughtful
when youre talking about new patient
relationships, said Dr. Joseph Kvedar of
the Center for Connected Health, a divi-
sion of Bostons Partners Healthcare. But
he predicts at-home infection tests one
day could supplement telehealth.
Then theres cost. The key is whether
telehealth replaces doctor visits or adds to
them, Dr. Ateev Mehrotra of Harvard and
the RAND Corp., said in recent testimony
for a House Energy and Commerce sub-
committee that is studying how to
enhance telemedicine.
Telehealth may be too convenient,
said Mehrotra, urging that it be imple-
mented in a cost-effective way that pro-
vides high-quality care.

WASHINGTON The health care law has
opened up an unusual opportunity for some
mothers-to-be to save on medical bills for
childbirth.
Lower-income women who signed up for a
private policy in the new insurance
exchanges will have access to additional
coverage from their states Medicaid pro-
gram if they get pregnant. Some women
could save hundreds of dollars on their share
of hospital and doctor bills.
Medicaid already pays for nearly half of
U.S. births, but this would create a way for
the safety-net program to supplement pri-
vate insurance for many expectant mothers.
Ofcials and advocates say the enhanced
coverage will be available across the coun-
try, whether or not a state expands Medicaid
under the health law. However, states have
different income cutoffs for eligibility,
ranging from near the poverty line to solid
middle class.
The main roadblock right now seems to
be logistical: reprogramming state and fed-
eral computer systems to recognize that cer-
tain pregnant women have a legal right to
coverage both from Medicaid and private
plans on the insurance exchange.
Technically, they can pick one or the other,
or a combination.
States and insurers will have to sort out
who pays for what.
Another big challenge will be educating
the public about this latest health law wrin-
kle. Its complicated for ofcials and policy
experts, let alone the average consumer.
This is an issue where women are going
to have to gure out, Im eligible for both,
now how do I do that? said Matt Salo,
executive director of the National
Association of Medicaid Directors, which
represents state programs. But what a won-
derful problem to have. This is a great prob-
lem to have from the consumers perspec-
tive.
The cost impact for federal and state tax-
payers is uncertain. Providing more gener-
ous coverage increases costs, but compre-
hensive prenatal care can save money by
preventing premature births and birth
defects.
Cynthia Pellegrini, head of the March of
Dimes Washington office, said many
women might not have been thinking about
maternity benets when they signed up for
coverage under the health law. After all, half
of U.S. pregnancies are unplanned. Often
consumers just focus on the monthly premi-
um when they select a plan.
The cost of normal uncomplicated child-
birth averages $5,000, said Pellegrini, and
preterm births can cost more than 10 times
that. Copayments and deductibles add up
fast.
A lot of women, particularly in a situa-
tion like childbirth, could end up with sig-
nificant out-of-pocket costs, Pellegrini
said. If they are eligible for Medicaid, they
could be protected from costs ranging from
hundreds to thousands of dollars. Her
group works to prevent birth defects by pro-
moting healthy pregnancies.
Existing Medicaid policies, subsidized
private coverage under President Barack
Obamas law and an obscure Treasury
Department ruling combined to produce the
Health law gives pregnant women new options
This is an issue where women are going
to have to gure out,Im eligible for both, now how
do I do that? ...But what a wonderful problem to have.
This is a great problem to have from the consumers perspective.

new options for pregnant women.
Medicaid is a federal-state program that
covers low-income and disabled people.
Before the health law, states offered spe-
cial, time-limited coverage to uninsured
pregnant women until their children were
born. That coverage is not only for poor
women; some states provide benefits to
middle-class women as well.
Then came the Affordable Care Act, with
federally subsidized private insurance for
people who dont have a health plan on the
job. The law, however, drew a line between
Medicaid and coverage through the
exchanges: If youre eligible for Medicaid
you generally cant get government-subsi-
dized private insurance.
That barrier fell away when the Treasury
Department ruled that Medicaids targeted
insurance for pregnant women did not meet
the definition of minimum essential cov-
erage required by the health law. Thats
because the coverage is temporary and
states can restrict the services the pay for.
The ruling last summer opened the possi-
bility for pregnant women to tap both ben-
efit programs, said Dipti Singh, an attor-
ney with the National Health Law Program
in Los Angeles.
Usually you could only be in one or the
other, said Singh. This is different in
that pregnant women are eligible for
both.
But the ruling apparently came too late
to program into the computers.
The option works differently depending
on a womans circumstances, Singh said.
Many women with low incomes would
be better off sticking with Medicaid only
because most states have opted to provide
comprehensive services for expectant
mothers.
But a woman in an exchange plan would
be able to limit her cost-sharing and gain
access to enhanced maternity benefits if
she opted into Medicaid as well. She
would not have to worry about her cover-
age running out after the baby is born, as
Medicaids maternity-only coverage
does.

MILWAUKEE The tness instructor is
about to start pushups, but rst she has to
move her walker out of the way. The exer-
cisers at this suburban apartment complex
are all over 75 and their leader, Hildegard
Gigl, will turn 99 in June.
Im getting older but Im not getting
old, said Gigl, whose half-hour class
includes pushups against a wall and
weightlifting with soup cans to In the
Mood and other Big Band tunes.
Exercise may be the closest thing we
have to a fountain of youth, one of the best
ways to age happy and well.
The mantra now is, exercise is a drug
able, like some medications are, to prevent
and treat a host of age-related ailments,
said Dr. Andrea Cheville, a Mayo Clinic
expert on exercise in the elderly.
Exercise aids weight control, healthy
cholesterol, blood pressure, mood and
sleep. It lowers the risk for cancer, brittle
bones and Alzheimers disease. One of the
most recent studies found that walking far-
ther or faster after age 65 increasing
activity rather than slowing down in older
age - helps maintain a good heart rhythm
and prevent heart attacks.
Even conditions like back pain and
arthritis, which many people cite as rea-
sons they dont exercise, often can be
helped by doing that very thing.
The message is catching on. Adults 50
and older baby boomers are the
fastest growing segment of membership,
said Cindy McDermott of Y-USA, the parent
organization for the nations YMCA pro-
grams, such as the one used at the
Milwaukee apartment complex.
Senior programs emphasize moves that
help people live independently. Wall
pushups maintain strength and dexterity to
open doors; raising arms behind the head
to imitate zipping your dress or combing
your hair help those with arthritis groom
themselves, McDermott explained.
What attracts older adults is quality of
life. They want to be able to lift their
grandchildren, she said.
Some tips from tness experts:
GETTING STARTED
Dont tell an older person who hasnt
been exercising to just do it, Cheville
warned. The type, frequency and dose need
to be appropriate for someones age, health
and condition.
If someone has pain, see a doctor to rule
out tissue damage from knee pain, or a back
problem that could be made worse by exer-
cise.
Find ways to exercise that dont exacer-
bate the pain, Cheville said. Climbing
stairs might hurt but cycling or water exer-
cise may not. Physical therapy to strength-
en certain muscle groups can help, and can
even delay a knee or hip replacement for
years, she said.
HOW MUCH SHOULD I DO?
Start light and gradually build up to at
least 30 minutes of activity on most days
of the week. This could be several 10-
minute sessions throughout the day.
Look for opportunities: The Y suggests
standing on one foot while brushing your
teeth to increase balance, doing squats
while washing dishes and stretch breaks
while watching TV. Take the stairs instead
of an elevator or park farther from your des-
tination and walk.
Listen to your body when determining
an appropriate exercise intensity, advises
the American Council on Exercise.
WHAT KIND OF EXERCISE IS BEST?
Yprograms include stretching, exibili-
t y, balance, low-impact aerobics and
strength training. For seniors, non-jarring
activities such as walking, swimming and
cycling are best, says the exercise group.
Some favorites: water aerobics, yoga,
Pilates, tai chi, and line, square or ball-
room dancing.
Group exercise classes like the one Gigl
leads in suburban Milwaukee also offer a
chance to socialize and make friends.
Whats a wonder is her memory to
move through all the exercises with no
notes, said one participant, Carole Pape,
85. Its just enough to move all the parts
of your body.
Its mostly fun, said Gigl, whose name
is pronounced giggle.
With a name like mine, it has to be, she
said.

A slowly evolving form of treatment, animal therapy is used
in only a few Army installations.
By Lolita C. Baldor
FORT BRAGG, N.C. After three
deployments to Iraq and three to
Afghanistan, Staff Sgt. Dennis Swols is
agitated, prone to bouts of anger and
unable to really talk about his time on
the battleeld.
But as Swols sits in a small ofce in
the Robinson Health Clinic at Fort
Bragg, his hand drops to the furry head
beside him and his mood brightens.
Settled at his feet, Lexy, a 5-year-old
German shepherd, gives Swols a few
moments of distraction.
Its her job. And, according to Swols,
shes good at it.
I have a hard time talking to people
about my deployments and everything,
says Swols, who is with the 82nd
Airbornes 4th Brigade Combat Team.
After taking part in the invasion of
Afghanistan in 2001 and the march into
Baghdad in 2003, hes been diagnosed
with post-traumatic stress. But having
her here, I just pet Lexy. Or Im just sit-
ting here and we wont talk about
deployments, well just (talk) about the
dog. ... My day is better every time I
come in.
For 82nd Airborne psychiatrist Maj.
Christine Rumayor, Lexy is a partner, a
conversation starter and a living,
breathing medical tool that can calm a
patient and make a therapy appointment
a little more enjoyable.
Aslowly evolving form of treatment,
animal therapy is used in only a few
other Army installations, including
Walter Reed National Military Medical
Center in Bethesda, Maryland. Asmall
number of dogs like Lexy are being used
almost as co-therapists. Others routine-
ly work as service animals and are often
used for animal-assisted therapy, includ-
ing in visits to patients in the hospi-
tals.
Lexys move into therapy was unex-
pected. Rumayor decided to put her new
puppy through the training when she
realized Lexy was less of a guard dog and
more of a calm cuddler. So, Lexy went
through about 2 1/2 years of training
before she was able to pin on her rank
shes a lieutenant colonel and
become certied as Fort Braggs only
therapy dog.
As the Army struggles to address the
broad swath of stress disorders and men-
tal health problems brought on by more
than a decade of war, one of the biggest
hurdles is getting soldiers to put aside
the bravado and seek treatment. Lexy, it
turns out, is particularly good at that.
Van Woodruff, who was a sergeant rst
class, went to his scheduled appoint-
ment just a few days before he was set to
get his medical retirement and move out
of the Army after 13 years in the service.
Its hard for me to come to these
appointments. I cant really sit in the
waiting room, said Woodruff, who suf-
fers from obsessive-compulsive disor-
der. I dont look forward to this whole
process of being here. ... The whole
process of being here is something
thats agitative to my diagnosis.
But on a sunny Wednesday morning,
the Alabama native is sitting in
Rumayers ofce. This is the only one
I look forward to going to because of
Lexy. I love dogs.
Rumayor, who wrote the Fort Bragg
policy that allows her to use Lexy in her
practice, said there was resistance at
rst.
You dont want everybody to think
they can just bring their dog to work,
she said.
Rumayor also has seen what an asset
the dog can be in getting soldiers to
seek out therapy and consistently attend
their appointments.
Walking around the base, she uses
Lexy as a lightning rod to attract sol-
diers, then draws them into conversa-
tion. On any given day, she and Lexy
will wander over to the motor pool or
anywhere troops might gather, to see
who might be interested in having a
chat.

water, even if not thirsty, wearing light-col-
ored clothes and a hat, consuming alcohol
or sugary drinks only in moderation, wear-
ing sunscreen and taking breaks in the
shade whenever possible.
Heat-related illnesses can cause symp-
toms such as difculty breathing, red, dry
skin with no sweating, a rapid pulse, a
throbbing headache, dizziness, nausea,
delirium or chills.
The hot, dry air could also cause health
problems by trapping more pollution than
normal. The Bay Area Air Quality
Management District issued a Spare the
Air warning for high smog Monday and
Tuesday, and the forecast for the coming
days indicate that more alerts will likely
follow this week.
High smog can cause respiratory prob-
lems and can be particularly problematic for
people already suffering from diseases like
asthma, bronchitis or emphysema.
The dry air and strong sun could also cre-
ate a re danger with conditions ripe for
wildres starting from downed power lines,
car accidents, construction sites or outdoor
barbecues.

The council must decide by August whether
to put on the November ballot a measure
allowing the city to abandon the Crestview
Drive property as park land and potentially
use it for something else. The estimated cost
for a special election is $32,000, but there
may be associated costs, such as conducting a
community survey or information campaign.
But running parallel to a decision about the
ballot is whether the city simultaneously
wants to discuss what could ultimately hap-
pen if voters agree to change Crestview
Parks zoning designation.
Lets give people the chance to vote on
this, said Mayor Mark Olbert. This is a
game changing event because school dis-
tricts dont normally build new schools. Its
an opportunity to demonstrate to the commu-
nity that two branches of government could
work together.
The City Council had a minimum of nine
options to consider for the four-acre North
Crestview site: make no change; retain own-
ership and improve it as a park and sports
eld; trade for the Tierra Linda site through a
combination of land and money; trade for the
school site and sell it to a developer for new
single-family homes; sell Crestview to the
district outright for a charter school; sell
Crestview on the open market to a developer
for housing; sell it on the open market for the
highest offer; lease the land to the school dis-
trict; or use the land for an Interstate 280 con-
nection.
If we are going to have an election, the
public deserves to know what theyre voting
for, said Councilman Cameron Johnson. I
personally have come to the decision to make
the site available to the charter school. Its
very important we have the best possible
schools it draws in some of the best and
brightest. Its a tough call and there are trade-
offs. This is better than the alternatives.
He also added hes happy to support selling
or leasing the site to the school district, but
doesnt see the Tierra Linda land as usable for
eld space.
The district has a deadline of November
because of requirements on spending 2012
bond funds which it hopes to use to build the
K-8 Charter Learning Center on the city par-
cel on North Crestview. The school would
house up to 400 students and free up space at
Tierra Linda in return for giving the city land
near the campus which it could use for park
needs like a soccer eld and gym. The district
wants a city decision sooner rather than later
so that, if that answer is no, it can look else-
where to build.
I moved here specically for the schools,
said resident Tammy Gordon. The problem is
getting worse, so we need more space for
schools, thats part of what our town has to
offer. The long-term health of our schools is
at stake here. I beg you to look at the long-
term view.
Another San Carlos resident, Jason Gish,
noted that the new school would not be
incredibly close to downtown, however,
because Charter Learning Center is not a
neighborhood school, there isnt concern for
needing students to live near the school.
Carpooling should help alleviate trafc
concerns, he said. Its a wide street and
were not adding 400 students to city
schools, just spreading them out through the
city. Theres no way around that the kids are
here.
Other residents arent so keen on putting
such a plan on the ballot, citing limited open
space in the city and concern over fast track-
ing a swap.
On its face its not in the public interest,
said resident John Buchanan. Discontinuing
this land as park or open space is a violation
of citys requirement of minimum open space.
I think you oughta reconsider it and consider
other options for the problems you and the
school district face.
Residents like Mike Segal echoed
Buchanans words.
Once open space is gone, its gone forev-
er, he said. Dont lose it. Keep San Carlos
green.
The district Board of Trustees met last
Thursday night to discuss possible alterna-
tives such putting a third school at Tierra
Linda, building at Arundel or putting the char-
ter at Heather, said board President Adam Rak.
On Friday, Rak said there was no direction
on alternatives but the board wants to make a
decision on alternatives by the end of June. In
the meantime, Rak said the district will get
more information from a trafc study and get
more data on the cost of each option.
Board Vice President Carol Elliott came out
Monday night in support of the measure
being put on the ballot.
I strongly encourage you to move forward
to benet the entire community by helping
reduce trafc and creating more space to
play, she said. Lets work together for a
plan for the future of San Carlos.
A huge hurdle aside from some neighbor-
hood opposition is the fact that the city par-
cel is worth more than the school land and the
city doesnt have the millions of dollars
needed to develop the space into a full park
with athletic elds.
You have to clean this up, said Mark
Haseloof. You have to come up with a spe-
cic proposal. ... We cant make a gift of mil-
lions of dollars to the school district.
Some Crestview neighbors presented other
options other than the swap.
Build upward, said neighbor Kathy Mark.
Highlands Park was supposed to be the x
for the eld use issue. Lets keep the land the
way it is. When we have the land lets build a
couple elds up there. As for trafc the
only way to reduce trafc in the Carlmont area
is to get the cars off the road.
Meanwhile, Councilman Matt Grocott said
the allure for him was simply to nd more
park space that could be used as eld space.
It looked like a real viable option, he
said. Its not that great of a eld, looking at
it now. I just dont see it happening because
the access to the Tierra Linda site would be dif-
cult. The shine is coming off for me to look
at a land swap.
Not enough elds and classrooms is a rea-
son to support having the school take the
Crestview land, said Councilman Ron
Collins.
Good schools are a key to home values,
he said. We need to be honest and clear about
a ballot measure and not give people the
impression we may do something else than
we really intend to do.
With the district anxious for a decision and
a lengthy to-do list required for the switch
environmental review, for one Olbert said
it would be problematic to hold off on discus-
sions about the outcome until after voters
weigh in.
Rak said negotiating an outcome now lets
the district do environmental review and soil
sampling on the parcel now which, with
November the end of the districts timeline, is
preferable to rushing after Election Day.
Grocott pointed out that the parcel was des-
ignated park land 30 to 40 years ago and a lot
can change in the meantime.
Aprotest hearing is set for June 23.

Some residents and ofcials did sug-
gest some alternatives to the current
trafc plan. Resident Nancy Locke said
there needs to be a way to reduce the
vehicle count, nding a way to get kids
to school without a one-to-one rela-
tionship between student and vehicle.
Another suggested having satellite
dropoff sites, then have kids walk a dis-
tance to the school. Dropping students
off at the playground area or having
children take a bus to school are other
options.
Develop the Hoover Trail to walk
back through, said Mike Jarrett, who
runs a website on Hoover called
hooverschool.info. Im very excited
about tone of the desire to come
through this process. There is still this
litigation process.
There will be multiple solutions to
xing the trafc concerns, not just
one, said school board President Greg
Land.
My only concern is were trying to
meet the needs of all, he said. We
could do a walking school bus like the
other schools are doing or have stag-
gered [start] times for different grades.

bigger disruption because people park
on 25th on Sunday when theres no
meter maid and theres a lot of people
walking to the fairgrounds, Brinzo
said. A lot of people park on side
streets and I think thats going to have
a big effect.
Yet the construction seems necessary
and the city did a good job reaching out
and providing plenty of notice, Brinzo
said.
Brinzo said, as a CPA and with tax
season now over, hes probably luckier
than neighboring retailers.
Becky Wu, a hairdresser at iSalon on
the corner of 25th Avenue and El
Camino Real, said theyre probably
losing clients.
Theres fewer people coming
because they dont nd parking.
Sometimes they dont want to walk far
away, Wu said. Sometimes its slow.
Sometimes clients complain theres no
parking or too much trafc there.
Wu said she understands the construc-
tion is purposeful, but nonetheless
inconvenient.
Chunny, who didnt want to give her
last name, is a manager of the San
Mateo K9 Social Club on 25th Avenue
and said she fears construction will last
longer than the city estimates.
Our customers will still come in
because they need (doggie) day care or
they need their pets groomed. But our
customers are annoyed because they
usually could park right up front and
theres been a bunch of minor fender
benders and its just an eyesore. Its
horrible looking, Chunny said.
The club also has a retail component
that has been lacking and other busi-
nesses that rely heavily on foot trafc
must be hurting, Chunny said.
People arent going to want to shop
or walk down the street unless they real-
ly need to come to businesses on the
street. Theyre not just going to stroll
on by, Chunny said.
The city rented a lot to provide public
parking south of 25th Avenue on
Delaware Street, Chan said. Yet some of
the business owners said its a far walk
and patrons are still discouraged.
Vanessa Payton, ofce manager at
American Eagle Roofing on 25th
Avenue, said most of the companys
work is done off site. But Payton said
she often doesnt know if shell be able
to nd parking or how long it will take.
Like the upcoming Maker Faire and
San Mateo County Fair, Payton said
visitors at the San Mateo County Event
Center park on 25th Avenue and side
streets so they dont have to pay for
parking.
Chan said city ofcials, police and
fair organizers all worked together to
plan for this summers events. The city
ensured the work directly in front of the
Event Center was nished before Maker
Faire opens and agreed it would close a
lane of traffic on Delaware Street
between Saratoga Drive and 28th
Avenue.
One of the issues weve dealt with in
the past is theres a lot of pedestrian
trafc, especially in front of the Event
Center. Its where they have the ticket
booth, its also a meeting place. So
a lot of pedestrian[s] overow into the
street, Chan said.
The 25th Avenue project is just one
portion of San Mateos Sanitary Sewer
Relief projects to connect the sewer
lines to the wastewater treatment plant
for both San Mateo and Foster City on
the east side of Highway 101.

morning.
The Sheriffs Ofce was alerted to the
incident after a boat was seen along the
coast and a white Chevrolet Suburban
was found stuck in the sand.
The SUVwas found abandoned around
8 a.m. with a white boat along the
beach nearby, said sheriffs spokes-
woman Deputy Rebecca Rosenblatt.
The sheriffs narcotics task force, state
parks police and agents from the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security
responded, Rosenblatt said.
The DHS has since taken over the
case that bears striking similarities to
incidents in Southern California
believed to be related to a Mexican drug
cartel, said Andrew Muoz, spokesman
for the departments investigation divi-
sion. With the federal government
ramping up control at the U.S. and
Mexican border, criminals have begun
to use alternate methods, Muoz said.
Homeland Security has stepped up
[its] efforts along the southern border,
along with U.S. customs stepping up
its maritime interdiction efforts in
Southern California, we believe these
boats are coming further north to evade
those efforts, Muoz said.
No one is in custody and the investi-
gation is still ongoing, Muoz said.
The vehicle appeared to have gotten
stuck in the sand while the suspects
were transporting the marijuana,
Muoz said. A total of 42 packages,
each containing between 25 to 30
pounds of marijuana, were found. It
appeared the suspects were able to
unload 41 packages into the car and
another was found on the beach between
the boat and vehicle, Muoz said.
The 30-foot twin outboard boat had a
very large gas tank, which is consistent
with the boats used to transport drugs
from far distances, Muoz said. These
panga style boats are popular with
smugglers because they can travel fast
and carry large quantities of drugs,
Muoz said. Often, panga boats are used
to carry drugs from Mexico, typically
Baja California, up north or to ferry
drugs inland from larger vessels further
offshore, Muoz said.
Based on the nature of the incident
and the manner of smuggling, the DHS
believes the drugs found in Pescadero
may be connected to the Sinaloa cartel,
an infamous drug organization in
Mexico, Muoz said.
This is an emerging trend. This type
of smuggling coming further north.
Weve seen this type of activity for a
few years around San Diego, Ventura and
Orange counties. But in the past year
and a half weve started to see evidence
of these boats landing in the central
coast and along the Bay Area, Muoz
said.
Both state and federal agencies are
cracking down on maritime smuggling.
In 2010, the federal government made
seven criminal indictments; between
October 2013 to March 2014, both
state and federal prosecutors made 34
criminal indictments. Last year, more
than 100 criminals involved in mar-
itime smuggling were convicted in the
Los Angeles are alone, Muoz said.
As this is an ongoing investigation,
Muoz said he could not comment on
any leads.

it. Refuse to let criticism ruin your concentration.

heat when it comes to love and romance. Set aside
some time for intimacy. Plan a special getaway,
even if its close to home.

may cause friction on the home front. Try to be as
accommodating as possible, but dont let anyone
take advantage of you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) There are some negative
rumors circulating. Dont get drawn into gossip, or

skills to prospective employers. Your strong work ethic

ELECTRIC SERVICE GROUP
By Michelle Faul and Sunday Alamba
LAGOS, Nigeria Under the guns of
their captors, dozens of barefoot girls sat
huddled together wearing gray Muslim veils
as they chanted Quranic verses in Arabic.
Some Christians among them said they had
converted to Islam.
I swear to almighty Allah, you will not
see them again until you release our broth-
ers that you have captured, the leader of the
Boko Haram terrorist network threatened,
an assault rie slung across his chest.
A video released by the group Monday
offered the rst public glimpse of what it
claimed were some of the nearly 300
Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped a month
ago. The girls plight has spurred a global
movement to secure their freedom.
It is not known how many suspected
Boko Haram members are detained by secu-
rity forces. Hundreds were killed last month
when leader Abubakar Shekaus fighters
stormed the militarys main northeastern
barracks in Maiduguri, the terror groups
birthplace and the headquarters of a year-old
military state of emergency to put down the
5-year-old Islamic uprising.
In the video, two of the girls were singled
out for questioning.
Why have you become a Muslim? one
girl, who looked to be in her early teens,
was asked.
The reason why I became a Muslim is
because the path we are on is not the right
path, the girl said, nervously shifting her
body from side to side, her eyes darting
back and forth.
We should enter the right path so that
Allah will be happy with us, added the girl,
who said her name had been changed to
Halima because she had converted from
Christianity to Islam. Like the other girls,
she wore a bulky gray hijab that covered her
body from head to toe, revealing only her
face.
Asecond girl, who appeared to be in her
mid-teens, was asked if she or any of the
others had been mistreated. No, she said,
adding that they had experienced nothing
except righteousness.
Boko Haram demands release of fighters for girls
BOKO HARAM HANDOUT VIA REUTERS
About 100 girls wearing full veils and praying are shown in an undisclosed location in a
17-minute video in which Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau speaks.
