GAS EXPLOSION DESTROYS TWO NEW YORK BUILDINGS;

New state testing standards that place less
pressure on teaching to the test, climate
meetings with the district and potential pay
raises could mean working condition
improvements for teachers in the Redwood
City Elementary School District.
Things have been tense in the district
since the economy was in turmoil and teach-
ers had to sacrice geography, social stud-
ies, art, health and other lessons to focus on
the Standardized Testing and Reporting, or
STAR, tests established in 1998, said
Redwood City Teachers Association
President Bret Baird. But with the new
Common Core Standards, going into effect
during the 2014-15 school year, there is
going to be a shift to more team collabora-
tive learning and technology in class-
rooms. Under the old system, students had
to spend too much time prepping for the
spring tests, said Gareld and Clifford ele-
mentary school teacher Sarah Morgan.
Kids are reduced to numbers, Morgan
said. Teachers are cramming all the knowl-
edge in. I havent seen kids get smarter.
They get better at taking a test.
Amove away from activities like individ-
ual silent reading time for students was one
of the negatives of the STAR system. Math
and language arts have been cut back
because of the old system, Morgan and
Baird said.
We hope to go back to silent reading,
Morgan said. We had so many teachers

Clearing
path for
bridges
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Caltrain is in the midst prepping four of its oldest and
lowest hanging bridges for replacement and some San
Mateo residents who live along the tracks fear they wont be
afforded much clout in the future of their backyards.
Caltrain has big plans for the majority of its 77 miles of
track and replacing four bridges in San Mateo is necessary
before it can move forward with electrication, ofcials
said.
The bridges at Tilton, Monte Diablo, East Santa Inez and
East Poplar avenues are more than 100 years old and their
low clearance often causes large trucks to become stuck or

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
At Kidizens in Los Altos, a group of
students are constructing buildings
with Legos and trying to solve a
municipal dilemma in a town, they
named Dragon City. Aresident, Loopy
Lily, is wreaking havoc getting lost
and bumping into buildings because
there are no signs on the roads.
Using Legos, children who attend
Kidizens experience the evolution of a
city and government in social and
non-threatening environment. The
play-based approach program is
designed to foster a sense of communi-
t y, critical thinking and problem-
solving skills and confidence, said
owner and operator Prerana Vaidya.
There is great potential for the pro-
gram, Vaidya said, and she has expand-
ed with a second location in Belmont
with hopes of setting up programs in
classrooms of schools throughout the
Bay Area.
The kids are building cities and
learning about civic responsibility,
city governments and economic con-
cepts, said Vaidya. They are role-
playing as leaders in a city council set-
ting and that is where all the good deci-
sion and analytical thinking comes
into play.
The children team up in groups of
two and collaboratively come up with
ideas to build an entire city which func-
tions and operates as one would in real
life, Vaidya said. For example, at a
recent mock city council meeting, the
kids talked about the importance of
having a re department and if they
should build one for their town or col-
laborate with another city depending
on available funds.

San Francisco mint
to produce first curved coin
SAN FRANCISCO The United
States mint in San Francisco is soon
set to produce an unusual coin in honor
of the nations favorite pastime.
Like so many great pitches in base-
ball, the new coin will feature a curve.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A former San Mateo County sheriffs
deputy who allegedly beat up his ex-girl-
friends former boyfriend and in a later
separate incident disregarded a no-contact
order pleaded not guilty Wednesday to
assault and witness dissuasion charges
after a judge first denied a prosecution
request to hike his $150,000 bail.
Colin Troy Smith, 42, of San Carlos,
was scheduled for trial June 16 in the two
cases which are now consolidated. He
faces up to a decade in prison if convicted
of the four felonies.
On Aug. 17, according to the District
Attorneys Office, Smith drove his patrol
car while on duty through Redwood City
searching for his ex-girlfriend at local
bars. When he spotted
her outside a bar with
another former
boyfriend, he allegedly
sent her several texts
demanding information
about the relationship
between the couple,
according to the District
Attorneys Office.
The following morn-
ing after getting off work at 7 a.m., Smith
reportedly drove to the womans home,
where the former boyfriend had stayed the
night, and demanded entry into the home.
Prosecutors said he threatened to kick
down the door and pushed his way through
in search of the victim, who was hiding in
a bathroom.
Smith then severely assaulted the vic-
tim, breaking his eye socket and nose,
prosecutors said.
While out on $50,000 bail in the assault
case, Smith was then arrested on Dec. 4 for
disregarding a no-contact court order and
approaching the woman in her vehicle. He
reportedly called her names and yelled that
she would lose the other case against him
and not to call the police. After he left, she
called authorities.
Smith is free from custody. He returns to
court July 7 for a pretrial conference.
Former deputy pleads not guilty in two cases

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A66-year-old house cleaner charged with
torching a car at the Daly City Department
of Motor Vehicles pleaded no contest to
felony arson immediately after court-
appointed doctors found him competent to
stand trial, according to prosecutors.
Hugo Carranza, who had already spent
several months committed at a state hos-
pital after his arrest, was scheduled for a
trial Wednesday to determine if he was
again unable to aid in his own defense.
Instead, he took the plea deal and was
immediately sentenced to a three years in
prison with credit for time served, District
Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe said.
Carranza was scheduled
to be released from jail
later that day.
Carranza, whose vehi-
cle had been towed by
San Francisco police in
October 2011, due to an
expired registration,
reportedly paid fines at
the DMV office but could not get his car
released. On April 23, 2012, he filled a
bottle with oil or gas, randomly selected
what he thought was an employees vehi-
cle and poured the liquid over two tires
before lighting them on fire. The 2008
Cadillac Escalade was scorched and the
flames also damaged a Honda in an adja-
cent space.
Awitness reported seeing Carranza walk
away from the scene and the arson was
reportedly caught on tape. At the scene,
Carranza walked up to a police lieutenant
and said Im the one who did it, accord-
ing to prosecutors.
Before he could stand trial last year,
Carranza was declared incompetent. Last
August, he returned to San Mateo County
for prosecution after hospital staff
declared him restored. In November 2013,
his defense attorney again raised the issue.

Boat crashes onto rocks
near Oyster Point Marina
A boat crashed onto the rocks
near Oyster Point Marina in South
San Francisco Wednesday morning,
U.S. Coast Guard and local harbor
ofcials said.

ken free from its moorings and
crashed into the rocks near the

No one was aboard the vessel at
the time and the crash did not cause

San Mateo County Harbor
District Harbormaster Scott Grindy
said the boat has been anchored for
months in the waters under the
jurisdiction of the city of South San
Francisco.
Grindy said the city was waiting
for 30 days or more of non-use of
the boat so they could seize it, but
people were spotted periodically
on board.
The boat broke free of its anchor
likely due to really bad wind last
night, Grindy said.
The Coast Guard said the boats
owner will be responsible for hir-
ing a salvage company to remove
the vessel from the rocks.
Gunman robs pizza parlor
Police are looking for a masked
gunman who was caught on camera
holding up a teenage girl working
at Little Caesars Pizza Friday
night.
The suspect entered the restaurant
on the 600 block of East Third
Avenue around 9:45 p.m. and
approached a 19-year-old clerk and
pointed a black handgun at her,
according to the San Mateo Police
Department.
After stealing money, he
appeared to make a call on his cell-
phone while he ed east on Third
Avenue, according to police.
The man was caught on tape, but
his face was obscured by a green
scarf or T-shirt. At the time, he was
wearing a long-sleeved white shirt,
black pants and black and white
gloves, according to police.

Investigators seek
cause of San Francisco fire
SAN FRANCISCO Fire inves-

ing into whether welding work was
to blame for a massive blaze that
barreled through an apartment
building construction site, threat-
ening nearby structures and
prompting evacuations as reght-
ers worked to prevent its spread
through a San Francisco neighbor-
hood.
City ofcials said a catastrophe
was narrowly avoided in an up-and-
coming area near AT&T Park, home
of the Giants.
I think were very lucky that the
re didnt jump anymore, Mayor
Ed Lee said.
The exact cause of the blaze
one of the largest in the city in
recent years was under investiga-
tion.

The extended filing deadline for two
judicial seats and the controller position
closed Wednesday with no new faces added
to the mix although one person who was
filing paperwork to run did fall off the
l i st .
Christiana State, a temporary small
claims judge in Santa Clara County, did
not qualify for the June 3 ballot by the 5
p.m. March 12 deadline, according to the
San Mateo County Elections Office.
Qualified for the race to replace retiring
Judge Craig Parsons is prosecutor and for-
mer court commissioner Stephanie Garratt
and Ray Buenaventura, a defense attorney
and Daly City councilman.
The countys other contested judicial
race is between defense attorney Jeff
Hayden and Court Commissioner Susan L.
Greenberg. They are running to replace
former Superior Court Judge Beth Labson
Freeman who was named to the U.S.
District Court in San Jose.
Controller was the only other extended
filing deadline because the current office
holder, Bob Adler, is not seeking elec-
tion. Assistant County Controller Juan
Raigoza is running along with CPA and
former Burlingame mayor Joe Galligan.
Galligan threw a twist into this race on
Tuesday when he filed suit with the court
to prove Raigoza meets the legal require-
ments to hold the job.
The remaining contested elections were
all set on Friday, March 7 because the
incumbents are seeking re-election. These
include county Supervisor Carole Groom
and challenger Mark de Paula for the
District Two office and
county Supervisor Don
Horsley and challenger
Michael G. Stogner,
who are vying for the
District Three seat. The
primary in June is the
first time county super-
visors will be elected by
residents in their indi-
vidual districts rather
than by voters county-
wide.
Mark Church, chief
elections officer and
assessor-county clerk-
recorder, is running for
re-election against John
K. Mooney and Coroner
Robert Foucrault is chal-
lenged by Rick Dalton.
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe,
Sheriff Greg Munks, Treasurer-Tax
Collector Sandie Arnott and County
School Superintendent Anne Campbell are
all running without challenge for re-elec-
t i on.
Several judges are also running unop-
posed for re-election: Joseph Bergeron,
Richard DuBois, Don Franchi, Jonathan
Karesh, Steven Dylina and Elizabeth Hill.
The ballots in the Sequoia Union High
School District will include a $265 mil-
lion bond measure to address overcrowding
and enrollment growth. To pass, the meas-
ure needs a 55 percent yes vote. Half Moon
Bay voters will also choose whether to
replace or preserve the Main Street Bridge.

SAN FRANCISCO Californians have
ooded several sheriff ofces with applica-
tions and inquiries for permits to carry con-
cealed guns.
Sheriffs in some politically conservative
or rural counties reported spikes in applica-
tions while other counties in the state expe-
rienced smaller increases.
Demand is being driven by a federal
appeals court ruling last month that made it
easier for residents to obtain the hard-to-get
permits. About 56,000 Californians have a
concealed-weapons permit in a state of 38
million residents. The 9th U.S. District
Court of Appeals ruled Feb. 13 that law-abid-
ing residents need only to show a desire for
self-defense rather than proving they were
confronted with a clear and present danger.
Since then, the authorities in charges of
issuing the permits say they have received
numerous applications and fielded even
more phone calls seeking permission to
carry a concealed weapon in California.
Californias 58 county sheriffs and the
states police chiefs are authorized to grant
the permits. Historically, police chiefs have
largely let sheriffs in their counties handle
permitting, according to the California
Police Chiefs Association.
Alameda County Sheriff Greg Ahern, head
of the California State Sheriffs
Association, said application requests rose
statewide in the days after the ruling.

WASHINGTON Child care providers who
receive federal support would have to undergo
criminal background checks, know rst aid
and CPR and get other medical training under
a bill moving forward in the Senate.
The bipartisan measure would change a
federal block grant program to expand
access to federally subsidized child care and
improve its quality. About 1.6 million chil-
dren use federal subsidies to attend day-care
programs at about 500,000 different centers
and home-based providers.
The bill would require providers to meet a
range of health and safety standards, includ-
ing rst aid, CPR and prevention of child
abuse and sudden infant death syndrome. The
bill also would require annual inspections of
licensed programs and require that day-care
centers be inspected before they are opened.
Most states require inspections of
licensed day-care programs, as well as some
type of employee training, but standards
vary widely. Forty-one states and the
District of Columbia require one or more
inspections a year, but some states, such as
California, only require inspections once
every ve years, according to a 2013 report
by Child Care Aware of America, an advoca-
cy group.

Working to facilitate more business in
downtown, the city of Millbrae is support-
ing the formation of a business improve-
ment district.
The citys Business Advisory Committee
proposed the downtown district to afford
themselves more say in the commercial area
by banding together to work on projects to
upgrade the downtown with funding created
by the new district. As of now, the proposed
district, or BID, that the committee aims to
establish runs from north of Millbrae
Avenue to south of 525 El Camino Real,
south of Civic Center Lane, east of
Magnolia Avenue and west of El Camino
Real, according to a city resolution in sup-
port of the districts formation.
They need to know the city would support
this process, said Mayor Wayne Lee. This
is not a new concept. Its happened in
Burlingame, San Carlos, Mountain View and
Redwood City. Their downtowns are spectac-
ular.
The city tried 15 years ago to try to form a
district, but that effort failed. The group
would need to get 50 percent or more of busi-
nesses in the district area to sign a petition
for the approval of such a district. It would
then go to the City Council for approval.
Every business and/or property owner within
the districts boundaries would have to pay a
fee. The district would set its own assessment
rate depending on what they want to do,
according to Lee. Merchants and/or property
owners come together to decide whos lead-
ing, parameters for the district, projects and
how theyre going to accomplish them, said
City Manager Marcia Raines.
BIDs create a closer relationship with the
city upon entering a mutual agreement of
understanding between a BID and the city,
the citys support resolution stated. It also
states it offers exibility and control by
businesses and/or property owners, along
with increasing equity for business and
property owners.
The hope is to establish a BID by the end
of the year, said committee Chair Harry
Aubright.
Its nice to have their support, Aubright
said. The only thought I had is on the
boundaries. One consideration is we might
expand that. Its not an overnight deal. We
want work with the consultant they (the
city) have for business development to do
something this year.
In late 2013, the committees viability as
a group was questioned by the City Council
and the committee itself expressed concerns
that it doesnt have the resources to make an
impact on Millbraes economy. These dis-
tricts, which need funds to function, are revi-
talization tools for commercial neighbor-
hoods. They typically allow business own-
ers to approve an assessment that would
help pay for improvements such as cleaning
streets, parking facilities, providing securi-
t y, making capital improvements, construc-
tion of pedestrian and streetscape enhance-
ments and marketing the area. Services that
may be nanced include promotion of public
events, furnishing music in public places
and promotion of tourism.
The committee was called into question in
November 2013 when a vote on dissolving
the committee was pulled from the City
Councils agenda. The council rst discussed
the possibility of nixing the committee in
early October because of lack of productivi-
ty from the group, a number of councilmem-
bers said.
Meanwhile, Vice Mayor Robert
Gottschalk said he fully supports and
encourages a BID concept, but wanted to
make sure to dene what counts as a busi-
ness.
The Business Advisory Committee next
meets 8:30 a.m. March 26 at Library Room
Aat 1 Library Ave. in Millbrae.
Millbrae supports business improvement district
ing workplace harassment and discrimina-
tion.
Darrell Davis, 64, has worked in the citys
Public Works Department for nearly 31
years during which he developed cancer
requiring his prostate gland to be removed
in 2003, according to a lawsuit led by
Davis against the city and his supervisor
Tuesday.
According to the lawsuit, Davis alleges
his direct supervisor Pat Rosenthal repeat-
edly harassed him due to his age and made
derogatory comments regarding his physi-
cal conditions and maliciously questioned
him about Viagra. He also claims the city
was well informed of Rosenthals inappro-
priate behavior for more than a year and
failed to take any substantive disciplinary
action against Rosenthal, according to the
lawsuit.
The suit specifically mentions several
city employees including Human Relations
Department Director Linda Spady and
Interim City Manager Larry Patterson.
San Mateo City Attorney Shawn Mason
did not return calls for comment and
Rosenthal did not return a message left at
his work. Davis attorney Mark Le Clerc
said he couldnt comment.
For more than six years, Rosenthal acted
as Davis supervisor and would call him
grandpa and broken due to his physical
conditions, he would also question him
about the effectiveness of Viagra and threat-
ened to re him if he was not 100 percent,
according to the lawsuit.
Part of Davis cancer treatment made him
sensitive to the heat and the sun, sometimes
resulting in hot ashes. Rosenthal would
harass him about it saying Davis was like
an old lady going through menopause,
Rosenthal frequently did this in front of
other employees and around November
2012 said Davis couldnt perform sexually
because his prostate was removed.
Thereafter a different city supervisor told
Davis he had heard about Rosenthals com-
ments and that he would report it to Human
Resources, according to the lawsuit.
The city sent a letter to Davis in late 2012
acknowledging the claim and, in March
2013, agreed it was harassment and it would
take action against Rosenthal, according to
the lawsuit. Shortly after, Rosenthal told
Davis and others if he were red he would
take others down with him; yet he continued
to work as Davis supervisor without inter-
ruption, according to the lawsuit.
About two weeks later, the lawsuit states
Rosenthal accused Davis of harassment but
the city later determined there wasnt suf-
cient evidence. Davis then approached
Human Resources and reported he felt abused
and harassed and was told by city staff they
would regularly meet with him to discuss it,
The city never followed through and
Rosenthal continued to harass other
employees as well, according to the lawsuit.
Rosenthal called a 38-year city employee
old and told him to retire, according to the
lawsuit. David said he heard Rosenthal say-
ing another employees wife had him by his
balls and later poked him while asking if
the man had told those [HR] bitches what
Rosenthal had said, according to the law-
suit.
Davis complained to Human Resources
about being harassed at work and it was
hinted that others felt similarly about
Rosenthal, according to the lawsuit. Around
the holidays, the lawsuit stated Patterson
spoke with Davis and his crew and stated he
wished he could get rid of Rosenthal but was
unable so he would try and make an immedi-
ate personnel change. That never happened
and Rosenthal has yet to receive any disci-
plinary action, according to the lawsuit.
Davis intends to prevent the city and
Rosenthal from harassing other employees
and have the case heard by a jury, according
to the lawsuit.

NEW YORK A gas leak triggered an
earthshaking explosion that attened two
apartment buildings on Wednesday, killing
at least three people, injuring more than 60
and leaving nine missing. Atenant said res-
idents had complained repeatedly in recent
weeks about unbearable gas smells.
By evening, rescue workers nally began
the search for victims amid the broken
bricks, splintered wood and mangled metal
after reghters spent most of the day dous-
ing the ames. Heavy equipment, including
back hoes and a bulldozer, arrived to clear
the mountain of debris where the two ve-
story East Harlem buildings stood. Flood
lights were in place. Thermal imaging cam-
eras were at the ready to identify heat spots
bodies or pockets of re.
The recovery was facing hardship in the
form of the weather, which was expected to
drop into the 20s with rain. Some parts of
the debris pile were inaccessible because of
a sinkhole caused by a subsurface water main
break, ofcials said.
The ery blast, on Park Avenue at 116th
Street, not far from the edge of Central Park,
erupted about 9:30 a.m., around 15 minutes
after a neighboring resident reported
smelling gas, authorities said. The Con
Edison utility said it immediately sent
workers to check out the report, but they
didnt arrive until it was too late.
The explosion shattered windows a block
away, rained debris onto elevated commuter
railroad tracks close by, cast a plume of
smoke over the skyline and sent people run-
ning into the streets.
It felt like an earthquake had rattled my
whole building, said Waldemar Infante, a
porter who was working in a basement near-
by. There were glass shards everywhere on
the ground, and all the stores had their win-
dows blown out.

Existing Afghan deal
would cover U.S. post-2014
WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama has threatened to withdraw all
American forces from Afghanistan if a new
security agreement is not signed by the end
of the year, but there is no legal reason the
U.S. has to resort to the zero option, as
administration officials have repeatedly
claimed.
Legally, the 33,600 U.S. forces still
deployed are covered by an existing status-
of-forces document that took effect shortly
after 9/11 and the start of Americas engage-
ment in Afghanistan. The existing agree-
ment has no expiration date and prevents
U.S. military personnel from being prose-
cuted under Afghan law a must-have for
status-of-forces agreements the U.S. signs
with countries around the world.
Unless the Afghans or the United States
cancel the existing SOFA, it remains in
effect, said retired Col. Manuel
Supervielle, who was the lead lawyer for
U.S. forces in Afghanistan in 2005 and
2006.
Israel passes law
meant to draft ultra-Orthodox
JERUSALEM Israels parliament on
Wednesday voted to begin drafting large num-
bers of ultra-Orthodox men into the military,
moving to end a contentious system that
enraged many secular Israelis by allowing
young seminary students to evade army serv-
ice. The legislation sought to resolve an issue
at the heart of a heated culture war in Israel.
Instead, it only widened the rift, drawing criti-
cism from both sides. It also could shake Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahus longstanding
alliance with religious political parties.
The issue of draft exemptions goes back to
the times around Israels establishment in
1948, when the government allowed several
hundred gifted students to pursue religious
studies. The number of exemptions has
grown over the years, with thousands of
young religious men evading the draft to
pursue seminary studies while most other
Jewish men are conscripted for three years
of mandatory service.

WASHINGTON The CIAs director and
its top lawyer told White House attorneys in
advance about their plans to le an ofcial
criminal complaint accusing Senate
Intelligence Committee aides of improperly
obtaining secret agency documents, the
White House conrmed Wednesday.
Lawyers in the White House counsels
ofce did not approve the CIAs move to
refer its complaint to the Justice
Department or provide any advice to the
agency, presidential spokesman Jay Carney
said.
There was no comment, there was no
weighing in, there was no judgment,
Carney said, citing protocol not to interfere
in the ongoing inquiries into the matter by
the FBI and the CIAs inspector general.
The public controversy erupted on
Wednesday when Sen. Dianne Feinstein,
head of the intelligence panel, accused the
CIA of snooping in a computer network it
had set up for committee aides conducting an
investigation, possibly violating the
Constitution as well as federal law.
She also disclosed that a top CIA lawyer
had led papers with the Justice Department
saying committee personnel may have vio-
lated the law by possessing certain agency
documents.
Carney made his comments at the White
House as the top Republican on the Senate
Intelligence Committee avoided taking
sides in the dispute between Feinstein, D-
Calif., and the spy agency.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia said in
a brief speech on the Senate oor he does
not know all the facts, and a special investi-
gator may be needed to nd out what hap-
pened. He said pointedly that GOP staff
aides were not involved in the activities at
the heart of the dispute.
Carney did not say whether President
Barack Obama was directly aware of the deci-
sion. The president has been aware in gen-
eral about the protocols and the discussions
and occasional disputes involved, he said.

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

further damage the bridges, Caltrain
spokeswoman Jayme Ackemann said.
Theyre at the end of their useful life and
we need to upgrade these bridges to meet
current seismic and safety standards and
certainly in the fact with the future of elec-
trification well be running more trains on
the bridges. So we need to be doing more
now, Ackemann said.
Caltrain is working to clear brush and
vegetation, including large trees, sur-
rounding the tracks through Friday to pre-
pare for physical construction thats
expected to begin later in the summer and
last about two years, Ackemann said.
Replacing the bridges and implementing
infrastructure to support electrification has
led to questions over property lines and the
possibility of neighbors being told
theyre within Caltrains right-of-way.
Some residents say they have little control
in any decisions being made and fear con-
struction may go on longer than it needs.
Juan Napoles, who lives on Poplar
Avenue, said hes been told the side of the
apartment building he owns, lives in and
rents out is encroaching on Caltrains
property.
Its been very hard dealing with Caltrain
and we dont feel like the city is really
helping us and we just fear that theres
going to be a lot of work and the end prod-
uct might not be an improvement. We dont
mind inconvenience if we know were
going to have something better, Napoles
said.
Caltrain will be spending about $30 mil-
lion to replace the four bridges, which will
be prefabricated off-site and installed pri-
marily in the evenings. The four streets
will be closed in eight-week rotations
beginning around the end of 2015 and this
is a huge step toward the entire system
being upgraded, said Caltrain spokes-
woman Christine Dunn. Caltrain is also
beginning to lay the fiber optic cable
required for it to install Positive Train
Control, which is required by law and
allows dispatchers to control, stop and
slow the trains more quickly.
[Its] the first step in the modernization
of Caltrain and thats a very significant
project thats going to transform the rail-
road as it is today, Dunn said.
Tilton Avenue has the lowest hanging
bridge at just 8 feet 6 inches, however it is
the one bridge that cannot be raised due to
its proximity to the downtown San Mateo
train station, Dunn wrote in an email.
The Poplar bridge will be raised from 13
feet to 15 feet, the Monte Diablo bridge
from 11 feet 1 inch to 13 feet 2 inches and
the Santa Inez bridge from 12 feet 3 inches
to 15 feet, Dunn wrote.
Neighbors will have an immediate bene-
fit having the height of the bridges raised
and its an important step in the long run,
Ackemann said.
This is a critical project at this time for
a variety of reasons. In addition, the com-
munity will get the benefits of the
increased bridge vertical height clearance
and of course thats a benefit because it
allows emergency vehicles easier access
and it also helps eliminate these shut-
downs the community experiences when
oversized vehicles get stuck under the
bridge, Ackemann said.
Its seems appropriate to fix the bridges
due to their age, but most residents have
little clout in decisions being made by the
multi-agency organization and fear
between the bridge construction and even-
tual electrification, they could be facing
disruption in their backyards for years,
said Karen Jensen.
Jensen lives on Claremont Street
between the Monte Diablo and Santa Inez
bridges. The current brush clearing has yet
to have a large impact on her, but that
could soon change, she said. Caltrain
recently informed her between 1.5 to 2 feet
along her 45-foot backyard is in its right
of way and there are several large Monterey
Pine heritage trees that may be removed,
Jensen said.
It would be costly for her to have her own
survey conducted and to hire an attorney to
try and petition Caltrains property line
determinations, Jensen said.
While theyve been quite cooperative,
its clear its a huge bureaucracy and to deal
with it would take more time and money
than I have, Jensen said.
Napoles said he sympathizes with
Jensen and, after originally being told
only two of his trees would be affected,
Caltrain eventually ended up removing all
seven last week.
They paid him for the trees and have
offered to move or reconstruct the fence
separating his property from the tracks,
Napoles said.
But more importantly, he fears he could
suffer financial consequences if construc-
tion were to elongate. He depends on the
income he makes from renting out several
apartments on his property and worries
hed struggle to pay his bills if people
dont want to rent his units due to
Caltrains interference, Napoles said.
Both Jensen and Napoles are frustrated
the city has failed to step in and speak up
for them. They understand its Caltrains
property, but said they would like San
Mateo city officials to step in and provide
opinion on design and landscaping.
San Mateo Public Works staff attended
several of Caltrains community work-
shops regarding the replacement and gath-
ered public input which it incorporated
into its suggestions, said Susanna Chan,
deputy director of Public Works.
We provided input and comments on the
design of the project and a lot of those
inputs actually came from the community,
Chan said.
Residents concerns regarding trees were
discussed early on, but theyre not on city-
owned property, Chan said.
So they have the right to remove those
trees. So with them we understand we dont
really have the authority to levy ... the
citys tree ordinance, Chan said.
However, Caltrain has worked with the
city and offered to pay for the heritage
trees it removed. The city received
$45,000 which it will use to develop a pro-
gram to help replace some of the residents
trees, Chan said.
Mayor Robert Ross said the city wants
residents to be able to enjoy their proper-
ties, but it is Caltrains property and safety
is of the utmost importance, Ross said.
If Caltrain needs to maintain their lot
for safety and for keeping the area safe, I
think we need to help them facilitate that,
Ross said.
Caltrain is continuing to reach out to the
community and work with neighbors
whose properties are being affected. It will
continue to clear vegetation in San Mateo
through the end of the week and is digging
trenches along stretches of tracks in other
parts of the county to install the fiber
optic cables for Positive Train Control.
The Caltrain modernization program is
going to set the stage for enhanced modern
commuter rail services, so we cant have
bridges that are not up to the task, Dunn
said. These bridges are 100 years old and
we have continual problems now with
vehicles running into them and its part of
making improvements that are going to
set the stage for the future of Caltrain.

OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
Santa Cruz Sentinel
T
he weather is warming up and so are
gas prices. Drivers seem to be put-
ting more miles on their vehicles,
which is part of the reason prices are quick-
ly jumping, up 28 cents a gallon statewide
from a month ago. In Santa Cruz County,
the average price of a gallon of gasoline
this month is $3.78, up 22 cents from last
month. The average for Northern
California is higher, at $3.84.
To keep this in perspective, gas prices
are still 26 cents a gallon cheaper than a
year ago. Moreover, prices typically go up
during the spring, peaking in the summer
months.
But Californians face another looming
price hike at the gas pump from the states
greenhouse gas-reduction law. The law
already is being felt in the industrial sec-
tor, which has paid out more than $1.5 bil-
lion in pollution permit fees. Starting next
year it will also affect fuel distributors,
who will be in the same cap-and-trade mar-
ketplace as utilities and big manufacturers.
The oil industry predicts this will lead to
price increases of at least 12 cents a gallon
immediately. State regulators counter by
saying say any price spikes could vary
widely, from barely noticeable to double-
digits.
The potential spike in gasoline prices is
behind a proposal by Senate President Pro
Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, that
the state should nix the plan to put fuel
producers under the cap-and-trade provi-
sions, and instead institute a 15-cent-per-
gallon carbon tax. Steinberg says his tax
would create stable pricing, while still cut-
ting down on gasoline consumption as
prices rise.
Cap-and-trade sets a limit, or cap, on
emissions of greenhouse gases and requires
companies to pay for each ton of pollution
they emit. The price is determined in a
state-run allowance auction on which com-
panies buy permits to emit greenhouse
gases. Companies that cut emissions
below the cap can sell leftover pollution
permits to companies that need additional
allowances. This provides an incentive to
reduce emissions, and the money raised
goes to programs to further reduce pollu-
tion and energy use.
Cap-and-trade is the central tenet of AB
32, the states greenhouse gas reduction
law passed by the Legislature and signed by
then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2006.
The California Air Resources Board,
which oversees cap-and-trade, projects no
noticeable increase in gas costs after Jan.
1.
Under Steinbergs proposal, introduced
in the Legislature as SB 1156, the tax
would rise to 24 cents a gallon by 2020
and more than 40 cents a gallon by 2029.
About three quarters of the estimated $3.6
billion raised by Steinbergs carbon tax
would go back to households earning less
than $75,000 a year in the form of a state-
level Earned Income Tax Credit.
The legislative prospects for Steinbergs
tax proposal, especially during an election
year, are unlikely. But the oil industry likes
his plan.
The laws author, Democratic Sen. Fran
Pavley of Agoura Hills, said projections of
price spikes are worst-case scenarios and
scare tactics developed by oil companies
that found an unlikely ally in the Senate
leader. She said she believes Steinberg
wants to use the money raised by a carbon
tax to fund tax breaks for low- and middle-
income families, but that oil companies
want to get out from under the cap and still
pass on higher costs to motorists.
The biggest problem with Steinbergs
proposal is it comes too late in the game.
According to UC-Berkeley energy econo-
mist Severin Borenstein, removing trans-
portation fuels from the auctions at this
point would be nearly impossible.
Still, he says he could support a carbon
tax in the future, even though he doesnt
think the current program will lead to wild
uctuations in gas prices. But that doesnt
mean there arent risks of price spikes
particularly if demand for emissions credits
was to increase more than expected.
Borenstein thinks the air board could set a
price ceiling on emissions permits to
dampen volatility fears and that the
Legislature could still decide to re-direct
auction proceeds to help poorer
Californians, from programs to reduce
energy use and pollution.
Good ideas and more realistic than
Steinbergs tax proposal.
The icebox chronicles
Editor,
I loved this column (Michelle Durands
The icebox chronicles in the March 11
edition of the Daily Journal).
Somehow, I felt strangely nostalgic
when I read it. It reminded me of the fridge
we had where I worked before I retired no
one wanted to clean it. However, an ingen-
ious plan evolved create a team and
rotate the chore each month. Every Friday,
the contents were removed and placed on
the table or tossed, unless acknowledged
by a note from the claimant. At the end of
the month, the team wiped it clean. The
team was voluntary and included not only
business staff, but executive staff as well.
It worked no one was overlooked.

Controller qualifications
Editor,
I am deeply puzzled and troubled as to
why Joe Galligan was forced to le suit to
ensure that Juan Raigoza was qualied to
run for San Mateo County controller
(Controller candidacy in question in the
March 12 edition of the Daily Journal).
Then, it came out by the San Mateo County
Counsel that some of the qualications
listed in the government code are subjec-
tive.
I applaud Mr. Galligans efforts to pro-
tect the integrity of the ofce. I do not
believe we should have codes that are sub-
jective and set up to promote career
bureaucrats to elected positions. The idea
of having citizen oversight is important.
Mr. Raigozas refusal to clearly state his
qualications for the position and to speak
to the Daily Journal is also troubling. His
hiring of a San Francisco political consult-
ant and letting him speak for him, blasting
Mr. Galligan as a career politician,
shows his lack of knowledge of San Mateo
County. There are many San Mateo County
elected ofcials who would be offended to
be called career politicians because they try
to better their communities by serving on
school boards and city councils while
working their real jobs that bring home the
bacon.

Here we go again
Editor,
In 1977, we had a drought year and
everyone was asked to conserve water.
People bought biodegradeable soap and
took the drain water from the washing
machines to water the backyard. We also
conserved by not flushing everytime we
used the bathroom. My wife visited some
friends in Los Angeles and there was no
water problem in southern California
the sprinklers were going full force and
water was running down the gutters like
they were streams.
Now we are asked to conserve, and now
the cities will not be getting the normal
money from the water bills; the only
answer is to raise the rates. It has hap-
pened before and I am sure it will happen
again. Its too bad the cities dont reward
those who conserve instead of making us
pay more.

Crushing blow
C
andy Crush is the devil. Other
things have certainly been pro-
claimed the devil in the past.
Friends who encourage that extra glass of
wine on a school night. Adecadent slice of
cake beckoning on the dessert menu. Sales
racks with prices that cant be passed up
even when the closet
is bursting. House
of Cards when the
clock is nearing
midnight but you
gotta know just what
Frank Underwood is
going to do next.
But right now, the
addictive game
Candy Crush Saga
is the thing bedevil-
ing my attention and
taunting me into trying over and over again
to just pass a particular level. The game
draws one in with its initial simplicity.
Move multi-colored and different shaped
candy around the screen to line up three like
colors that then disappear and leave the
remaining pieces in a different position.
The goal is reaching a particular score or
clearing a particular path with a set number
of moves. For a girl raised in the Tetris hey-
day, this game is a bit nostalgic.
Im usually not one for popular cyber-
games. I pass on Angry Birds.
Farmville did nothing for me. Solitaire
sufced for many months of lengthy gov-
ernment meetings and dentist waiting
rooms. Then one day, bored with my pro-
crastination options, I decided to see what
all the fuss is about.
Several levels, and a good deal of teeth-
gnashing later, my smartphone has nger-
prints eternally pushed into the screen and
the word jelly will never carry the same
meaning (for the uninitiated, these are
squares that must be cleared).
On Wednesday, the parent company that
makes and released the app led paperwork
for an initial public offering speculated to
be worth billions. Sounds plausible to me.
Certainly, the stock could dump the way of
Groupon or never quite live up to its Zynga-
like hype but if the number of downloads
and media mentions are any indication,
there is certainly plenty of interest.
Candy Crush not only capture ones fee-
ble mind and competitive spirit but also
for those who just cant take one more retry
their pocketbook. One comes so close
to clearing a screen when bam! game over.
Aplayer only receives so many lives in a
given time period so the burning question
becomes if one dares wait another half hour
for a new life to refresh, ngers twitching
like an addict in need of an immediate x?
I do because Im cheap, cranky and refuse
to be sucked into their cash cow. Sure, Ill
pay too much for heels and cheese plates
but, when it comes to my smartphone, I
already pay too much. But others I know are
forking over 99 cents for a new life here,
99 cents over there for a color bomb boost-
er to help break away the aforementioned
stones. In laymans terms, this strategy
known as freemium is similar to your
basic run-of-the-mill corner dealer offering
a free taste in hopes of future prots by
jonesing customers or certain religions in
which people pay to attain higher levels. It
is also how companies are turning these
games into money makers. Just dont let
Words With Friends try this although
goodness knows there are times I might
just be willing to shell out some change for
an u to help out my q.
Eventually, I may tire of Candy Crush
or, more likely, break my phone throwing
it into the corner after several continuous
days of failure to be drowned in a bottle.
Even with the devilish cyber-sphere, candy
may be dandy but liquor is quicker. Too bad
its not as quick as my ability to fail at this
game.

Big movers
By Alex Veiga
A late rise saved the stock market
from a third straight day of losses.
The push was enough to nudge the
Standard & Poors 500 index into the
green by half a point Wednesday, as
investors bought up oil reners, min-
ing companies and technology stocks.
Reners such as Tesoro Corp. led the
gains.
Stocks were down for most of the
day, but began to crawl back in the
afternoon. The S&P 500 index added
0.57 points, or 0.03 percent, to close
at 1,868.20. The Nasdaq composite
also rebounded. It gained 16.14
points, or 0.4 percent, to 4,323.33.
Only the Dow Jones industrial average
ended lower. It fell 11.17 points, or
0.1 percent, to 16,340.08.
The three major U.S. stock indexes
are still down for the week. Investors
have been worried about a sharp drop
in Chinas exports reported over the
weekend, which raised concerns that
the worlds second-largest economy is
slowing. Since China is a big con-
sumer of raw materials and energy,
commodities such as copper and iron
ore have dropped sharply. The S&P
500 index ended lower Monday and
Tuesday.
Some strategist say investors are
pausing after the market hit three
record highs last week.
When markets reach these kind of
new highs very often they have to
digest those gains, which is what
theyre doing, said Quincy Krosby, a
market strategist with Prudential
Financial. They need to adjust the
gains and then wait for the next cata-
lyst to move higher.
That could come Thursday, when new
data on retail sales and weekly unem-
ployment benefit applications are
released. On Friday, a survey of con-
sumer condence should give traders a
better sense of how Americans feel
about the economy.
Among the big winners Wednesday
was Tesoro. It rose the most of any
stock in the S&P 500 index, climbing
$2.13, or 4.1 percent, to $54.50.
Marathon Petroleum Corp., added
$3.21, or 3.5 percent, to $94.50,
while Valero Energy Corp., gained
$1.62, or 3 percent, to $55.29.
Investors also took a shine to min-
ing companies as metals prices
increased. Cliffs Natural Resources
Inc. rose 43 cents, or 2.4 percent, to
$18.41 and Newmont Mining Corp.
rose 66 cents, or 2.7 percent, to
$25.01.
Tech giants Google, Microsoft and
Facebook also contributed to the days
gains. Together they make up about 12
percent of the Nasdaq composite.
Google rose $7.31, or 0.6 percent, to
$1,207.30; Microsoft added 25 cents,
or 0.7 percent, to $38.27 and
Facebook climbed 78 cents, or 1.1
percent, to $70.88.
Six of the 10 industry sectors in the
S&P 500 index notched small
declines, with industrials posting the
biggest drop. Utilities rose the most
as investors moved money into the
relatively low-risk sector.
Among the indexs big decliners
were insurer Progressive, which shed
94 cents, or 3.8 percent, to $23.58.
Most of the publicly traded home-
building companies were trading lower
after Credit Suisse issued a broad down-
grade on the sector. In addition, new
data from the Mortgage Bankers
Association showed home loan appli-
cations fell 2.1 percent from a week
earlier. Meritage Homes posted the
biggest drop among the decliners,
shedding 85 cents, or 2 percent, to
$44.21.
Herbalife fell $4.82, or 7.4 percent,
to $60.57 after the nutrition and sup-
plement maker disclosed that it is fac-
ing an inquiry from the Federal Trade
Commission. The company made the
announcement a day after hedge fund
manager William Ackman renewed his
attacks on the company. Ackman
repeatedly has bet against the compa-
ny and says he believes it operates as a
pyramid scheme.
Market closes mostly higher after a weak start
By Michael Liedtke
SAN FRANCISCO Apples labor prac-
tices are under attack by two activist groups
who contend the company makes its
iPhones with a hazardous mix of chemicals
that threaten the health of factory workers
assembling the devices in China.
The campaign began Wednesday with an
online petition put together by China
Labor Watch, a longtime Apple critic, and
Green America, an environmental protec-
tion group.
If enough consumers sign the Bad
Apple petition, the two groups hope to
pressure the company into abandoning the
use of two chemicals, benzene and n-hexa-
ne, in the production of the iPhone, Apples
top-selling product.
Benzene is a carcinogen that can cause
leukemia if not handled properly and n-
hexane has been linked to nerve damage.
In a statement, Apple pointed out that it
has already stopped using many hazardous
chemicals, including PVC plastic and
brominated ame, during the past few years
to the acclaim of environmental groups
such as Greenpeace. The Cupertino compa-
ny also says it ensures all remaining toxic
substances comply with U.S. safety stan-
dards.
Last year, we conducted nearly 200 facto-
ry inspections which focused on hazardous
chemicals, to make sure those facilities
meet our strict standards, Apple said.
The protesting groups believe Apples
factory inspections and publicly released
reports about the ndings have been white-
washing the real working conditions. They
say they suspect many of the estimated 1.5
million workers in overseas factories hired
by Apple are still logging grueling hours
and, in some cases, being exposed to dan-
gerous materials without proper training.
Apple touts itself as a socially responsi-
ble leader in the tech industry, but to really
be a leader, Apple must put a stop to worker
poisoning and ensure sick workers are
receiving treatment, said Elizabeth
OConnell, Green Americas campaign
director.
Coming up with a safer manufacturing
recipe for the iPhone would cost less than
$1 per device, OConnell estimated. Thats
a pittance for a company that earned $37
billion during its last scal year.
Neither benzene nor n-hexane is unique to
Apples manufacturing process. They are
also used in the production of electronics
products sold by other large technology
companies who have also been criticized
for their practices. For instance, last year a
South Korean court raised doubts about
Samsung Electronics claims that the ben-
zene levels in its computer chip factories
were safe.
Groups protest chemicals used in Apples iPhone
By Matthew Perrone
WASHINGTON The maker of
OxyContin says it has completed testing of
an abuse-resistant version of the painkiller
hydrocodone, a surprise development that
could derail sales of the recently launched
Zohydro, a similar medication that has been
criticized for lacking such safeguards.
Purdue Pharma says it plans to submit its
extended-release hydrocodone drug to the
Food and Drug Administration later this
year. The companys tablets are designed to
prevent users from crushing them for snort-
ing or injection.
Shares of rival Zogenix Inc. plunged more
than 20 percent after the announcement,
which appears to jeopardize sales of the
companys just-launched drug Zohydro.
Physicians would presumably be more like-
ly to prescribe a harder-to-abuse form of
hydrocodone to try to protect their patients
from addiction and abuse. And the Food and
Drug Administration could potentially pull
Zogenixs drug off the market if its regula-
tors determine that a safer alternative is
available.
Zogenix began shipping Zohydro to
pharmacies last week.
Purdue Pharma said a study of its once-a-
day hydrocodone pill showed positive
results in a 588-patient study of low back
pain. Sixty-ve percent of patients experi-
enced a 30 percent reduction in their pain,
while 48 percent of patients reported a 50
percent reduction in pain, according to the
company. Purdue Pharmas formulation
would last longer than Zohydro, which is
designed to be taken twice a day, or every 12
hours. Pain experts said both durations are
important for treating different types of
conditions and patients.
As a pain specialist, and specically a
cancer pain specialist, I think we are always
interested in adding more tools to our tool-
box, said Dr. Larry Driver, a professor at
the MD Anderson Cancer Center in
Houston. It boils down to individualizing
patient care to prescribe the safest and most
effective regimen available.
Patient safety advocates said Wednesday
there are already too many prescription nar-
cotics available in the U.S.
To me this just offers doctors another
deadly drug they can prescribe to people
with back pain that will kill them, said
Judy Rummler, chair of the Fed Up
Coalition, which opposes the approval of
new opiates.
OxyContin maker to offer abuse-resistant Zohydro
By Ken Sweet and Sarah Skidmore Sell
NEWYORK Hedge fund manager Bill
Ackman has won a round in his 15-month
ght against supplements and weight-loss
products maker Herbalife. The direct sellers
shares tumbled Wednesday after Herbalife
revealed that it is being investigated by the
Federal Trade Commission for possible
deceptive practices.
Since December 2012 Ackman has spent
millions waging a public campaign against
Herbalife and building up an army of lobby-
ists, community organizers and members of
Congress to push regulators to investigate
what he calls a pyramid scheme, that
makes most of its money by recruiting new
salespeople rather than on the products they
sell. It is a charge that Herbalife has repeat-
edly denied.
Ackman, the head of Pershing Square
Capital Management, holds a whopping $1
billion short position in Herbalife, mean-
ing hes bet that the companys stock will
drop and prots when it does. While short
sellers are sometimes demonized for prot-
ing at anothers nancial pain, they can
play an important role in discovering prob-
lems with companies. Hedge fund manager
David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital took
out a massive bet against Lehman Brothers
in 2007, accusing the investment bank of
not disclosing all of its potential losses
from the housing market downturn. That bet
turned out to be right. Lehman led for
bankruptcy in September 2008, sparking
the nancial crisis.

Fifty cents, $1 or $2?
Starbucks adding digital tips
NEW YORK Starbucks will soon let
customers leave tips with its mobile pay-
ment app, which raises the question how
often do people tip their baristas?
The coffee chain says the mobile tipping
option, which it announced more than a
year ago, will be available on its updated
app for iPhones starting March 19. The
rollout comes as the companys app has
surged in popularity, with roughly one out
of every 10 purchases now made with a
mobile device.
After paying with the app, Starbucks says
customers will be able to leave a tip of 50
cents, $1 or $2 anytime within two hours of
the transaction. The tipping option will
only be available at the 7,000 of the rough-
ly 11,000 Starbucks locations in the U.S.
that are owned by the company.
Yahoos search engine
leans on Yelp for help
SAN FRANCISCO Yahoo is cribbing
from Yelps online reviews of local mer-
chants to soup up its search engine.
Ratings and excerpts from Yelps mer-
chant reviews began to appear in Yahoos
search results on Wednesday.
Financial terms of the partnership werent
disclosed. News of the deal rst leaked out
last month, so it didnt come as a surprise.
Yahoos stock dipped 7 cents to $37.49 in
afternoon trading while Yelps shares
gained $2.48, or nearly 3 percent, to
$92.48.

HOME TURF: 49ERS NEW OL JONATHAN MARTIN HAS FAMILIARITY WITH NEW/OLD COACH >> PAGE 14

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Even though the first three
innings were Twilight Zone weird,
Sequoia right-hander Kyle
Cambron persevered to lead the
Cherokees past visiting Menlo-
Atherton, 6-1.
But it took all the concentration
Cambron could muster to buckle
down after the hijinks of the rst
three frames. The highlight reel of
weirdness came in the top of the
second when it seemed Cambron
had surrendered a home run to
Menlo-Atherton junior rst base-
man Matthew McGarry.
With one on and one out in the
second, McGarry put an opposite-
eld charge into a 1-1 offering
from Cambron that sent Sequoia
center elder Matt Lopez back to,
and through, the temporary mesh
outeld fence. As Lopez attempted
to hurdle it in chasing down the y
ball, the eld umpire called it a
home run. However, after the
umpires huddled up, the call was
overturned and ruled a ground-rule
double. M-A (5-2) would go on to
score just one run in the inning
and the game.
Previous to the home run that
wasnt, Sequoia (6-0-1) rallied in
the rst inning. But after Jarrett
Crowell drew a leadoff walk, Lopez
hit a one-hopper to third base
which M-A threw around the horn
for an apparent double play.
However, Lopez was called safe at
rst. So, instead of two outs and
no one on, the Cherokees turned
the questionable call into a two-
run rally and would lead the rest of
the way.
Menlo-Atherton manager Mike
Amoroso was adamant that the
umpires were wrong on both calls.
The home run was a home run.
They blew that one, Amoroso
said. And they blew the double
play. Theres nothing really to say
about it. They blew them both and
thats just part of the game. The
umpires cant dictate the game. We
need to overcome this. I tip my
cap to Sequoia. They hit their way
into it and they scored more runs.
That they did. The Cherokees
scored in each of the rst three
innings, and made plenty of loud
contact en route to banging out 10
hits.
Sequoia got on the board in the
first. After Lopez reached, Zane
Gelphman blasted and RBI double
to left. Senior left field Liam
Clifford followed by shooting an
RBI single to left, giving Sequoia
a 2-0 lead.
In the top of the second, the
Bears scored their only run. After
the McGarry ground rule double to
put runners at second and third,
Max Gardiner scored from third on
an RBI groundout of the bat of
Nikolai Tarran, cutting Sequoias
lead to 2-1.

Everything was going in favor of the
Aragon boys basketball team in its rst-
round matchup against Vanden in the
Northern California tournament Wednesday
night in San Mateo.
The seventh-seeded Dons had basically
led the entire game and had a six-point lead,
84-78, with just under two minutes to play.
Then, the worst thing that could have
happened to the Dons, did: point guard Alex
Manu, who nished with a game-high 28
points, fouled out with 1:15 left to play.
Sensing its opening, Vanden (20-11)
took advantage, nishing the game on a 11-
1 run to pull out an 88-85 win for the 10th-
seeded Vikings and ending the Dons sea-
son.
We were ready for them. Too bad
someone had to lose, said Aragon coach
Sam Manu. I thought we had it. So much
heart. [We] played great. Its a tough way to
go out.
It wasnt the point production Aragon
(20-10) missed with Alex Manu sitting on
the bench. It was his ball-handling abilities
the Dons desperately needed and without the
Dons best ball handler, they could not deal
with Vandens full-court press.
We needed a ball handler at the end, Sam
Manu said. All the turnovers (at the end of
the game) were ball handler turnovers.
I take [Alex Manu] for granted. You dont
really understands what he provides until
hes not there.
The Vikings tied the score at 85 on a
DeMarre Walker 3-pointer with 32 seconds
to play. They then stole the inbound pass
and were fouled, making 1 of 2 free throws
for an 86-85 lead only the third lead of
the night for the Vikings.
Vanden then made 1 of 2 free throws for an
87-85 lead. The Dons got the ball in and
eventually into the hands of Toby
Liebergesell, but his pull-up jumper with a
hand in face hit the back iron and was
rebounded by the Vikings. Walker, again,
made 1 of 2 free throws with 1.4 seconds left
and the Dons pass to halfcourt was inter-
cepted to end the game.
Aragon falls short
T
here was a big shakeup in the Bay
Area sports-talk radio landscape
and it involves one of the most
polarizing voices in the area jumping
ship to the relative new upstart competi-
tion.
Damon Bruce, who has spent the last
nine years shuttling between KNBR 680
and KNBR 1050, is leaving the 50,000-
watt blowtorch and taking his talent to
95.7 The Game, beginning March 31.
The sports-talk station on FM
which is the home of the Oakland As and
Oakland Raiders completely revamped
its lineup. With Bruce now anchoring the
drive-time 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. time slot,
95.7 The Game also shufed its morning
show, axing The Rise Guys and replac-
ing them with after-
noon show Rick
Bucher and Chris
Townsend.
Alot of the moves
95.7 The Game made
really dont matter
here. The big deal is
Bruce leaving KNBR.
Bruce garnered
national headlines
with his women are
ruining sports rant
in November of last
year. He returned,
properly castigated around the country
and returned to his hard-core sports ways.
Its my opinion that was the last straw
for KNBR management. It grew tired of
Bruces act and were in no great rush to
keep him if another station made a run at
him. He did his normal noon-to-3 p.m.
show Monday, but on, Tuesday, I noticed
Bruces sports anchor Ted Ramey taking
over a show that was dubbed, The
Show, which piqued my interest.
To the Internet! Thats where I found
BayAreaSportsGuy.com reporting Bruce
had signed with 95.7.
Doesnt seem like KNBR tried too hard
to keep Bruces services and its easy to
see why. The November rant may have
been the last straw, but Bruce has spent
most of his KNBR career rufing feathers

A notorious freewheeling team, Menlo
simply couldnt muster any momentum in
the half-court set as the Knights fell 47-35 to
Cardinal Newman-Santa Rosa Tuesday in the
opening round of the Northern California
Division IVtournament.
The Knights have relied on follows off
offensive rebounds all season long, but the
Cardinals proved too big and too strong on
the inside to allow them many second
chances. Cardinal Newman out-rebounded
Menlo 43-31 throughout the contest, includ-
ing 23-15 in the second half.
We try to emphasize rebounding,
Cardinal Newman head coach Monica Mertle
said. Weve got a lot of height so we try to
use it. But a lot of rebounding is just about
hustle.
The Cardinals towering freshman tandem
of 6-2 power forward Hailey Vice-Neat and 6-
4 center Lauren Walker pulled down 10 and
eight rebounds, respectively, as Cardinal
Newman overcame Menlos 21-20 halftime
lead to run away with it in the second half.
It was denitely hard because they were
such big girls, Menlo sophomore
McKenzie Duffner said. We were really pres-
sured to get a set offense going. That really
isnt our strong suit. Were really a lot better
in transition and they kind of shut us down
more there.
Menlo came out aggressive from the open-
ing tip-off with the full-court press and even
managed two early steals. But Cardinal
Newman Julia Bertolero converted a pair of
three-point plays one off a bucket and a
free throw and the second on a rainbow 3
to stake her squad to a 12-10 advantage at the
end of the rst quarter.
At the start of the second quarter, Menlo
quickly took the lead. After senior forward
Donya Dehnad fed Duffner under the hoop for
a quick layup to tie it 12-12, Dehnad hit a free
throw on the following possession to give
Menlo a 13-12 lead.
The lead changed seven times in the sec-
ond quarter, however, with Menlo freshman
Sam Erisman twice giving the Knights the
lead within a 30-second span on back-to-
back 3s. Try as they might, however, the
Knights couldnt pull away and took just a
21-20 lead into the half.
Cardinal Newman went on a 5-0 run to
open the second half and never again trailed
in the game. Cardinals junior Kylie Kiech
responded with a pair of 3s, as the entire
Menlo team managed just six points
throughout the quarter while Cardinal
Newman played to the buzzer and got reward-
ed as Bertolero banked a jumper off the glass
at the buzzer, giving the Cardinals a 37-27
lead heading into the nal eight minutes.
In the fourth quarter, Menlo played fast and
frantic but to no avail. The Knights aggres-
sive style culminated in a urry of fouls. As a
result, both Duffner and Dehnad fouled out in
the closing minute with Menlo never getting
closer than seven points.
Kiech and Erisman each tabbed a game-
high 16 points.
With the loss, Menlo closes out an epic
run as Central Coast Section Division IV
champs for the sixth time in program histo-
ry.
We were all really excited (about the CCS
championship), Duffner said. Alot of peo-
ple didnt think wed get that far and it was
nice to just prove them wrong. So everyone
was extremely happy. It showed us how our
hard work really paid off.
And amazingly, the Knights will get near-
ly its entire squad back next season, as
Dehnad will be the only senior lost to gradu-
ation.
I think were going to keep building as a
team, Duffner said. We were pretty good
this year, and I think since we have so much
longer we can keep working as a team in the
offseason and just come back even stronger.
With the win, Cardinal Newman advances
to the second round of the Nor Cal tourney. It
is just the third year for girls basketball at
Cardinal Newman as the Santa Rosa-based
school didnt become a co-ed school until
2012.
I think Menlo did a really good job of
switching up their defenses, putting pressure
on us, and I cant say I really felt comfortable
at any point, Mertle said. I think Menlo
did a really good job and we just so happened
to come out on top of this one.

[Vanden] got a lot of easy baskets, Manu
said. Their athleticism around the rim hurt
us.
Until that nal minute, it appeared the Dons
were going to win the game not on the backs
of their three star players, but their supporting
cast. It seemed every player who played in the
game for Aragon contributed something.
Trevor Pagaduan, a starter, nished with seven
points, including a crucial 3-pointer that
pushed Aragons lead to 84-77 with 1:51 left.
Jacob Andriola, starting in place of injured
center Kono Filimoehala-Egan, scored a layup
off a fastbreak and pulled down three rebounds.
Billy Mason came off the bench late in the
second quarter and drained a 3 from the right
corner just before the halftime buzzer. Keith
Samujh came in and scored a pair of second-
half buckets, while Tristan Naicker grabbed a
key rebound.
Thats what we always want it to be (a total
team effort), Sam Manu said.
Vanden was barely settled in before Aragon
blitzed the Vikings to open the game. After
the Vikings took a 2-0 lead, Aragon went on a
13-0 run highlighted by 3s from Manu and
Kevin Hahn, and a three-point play from
Liebergesell.
The Dons led 19-8 after a Pagaduan putback
with 3:39 left in the rst quarter before the
Vikings nally found their legs. They ended
the quarter on a 14-8 run to pull to 27-22 after
the opening eight minutes.
Twice in the second quarter the Vikings
manage to pull into a tie with the Dons, but
each time Aragon responded. Masons 3 with
15 seconds left in the rst half gave the Dons
a 41-28 lead at the break.
The second half saw both teams simply run
and gun.
It looked like an NBAAll-Star game, Sam
Manu said.
Again, Vanden managed to tie, but Aragon
never let the Vikings take the lead. Along-dis-
tance 3 from Hahn put the Dons up 58-52 with
3:08 left in the third and when Pagaduan hit 1
of 2 free throws, Aragon maintained its three-
point lead, 61-58, going into the nal eight
minutes.
In the fourth quarter, every time the Dons
seemed on the verge of putting the Vikings
away, they rallied. Aragon took a 70-64 on a
Liebergesell tip in, but the Vikings came back
with four straight points.
The Dons pushed it back to four, 74-70, on
an Alex Manu baseline drive, but a 3 from
Vandens Walker pulled the Vikings to 74-73
and when Vandell Shaw converted a layup with
3:41 to play, it gave the Vikings their rst
lead since the opening minute.
Aragon responded with a three-point play
from Alex Manu, which sparked a 9-2 Dons
spurt that gave them an 84-77 lead with 1:51
to play.
And then the roof caved in on the Dons.
Despite the heart-breaking loss, Sam Manu
was extremely proud of his squad especial-
ly the way they handled the much more athlet-
ic Vikings.
Alot of teams look at us, a bunch of white
guys (and think theyre going to run us out of
the gym), Sam Manu said. But thats our
team: all heart and all skill. You want a baller?
We have them.

LOS ANGELES Blake Grifn had 30
points and 15 rebounds, Danny Granger
added 18 points off the bench, and the Los
Angeles Clippers surged past the Golden
State Warriors 111-98 Wednesday night for
their ninth straight victory.
Chris Paul had 16 points, 12 assists and
eight rebounds for the Clippers, who split
their four-game season series against their
Pacic Division rivals with an impressive
nish to a tight game.
Los Angeles has the third-longest win-
ning streak in club history and the teams
best record after 66 games (46-20).
Klay Thompson scored 26 points and
David Lee had 20 for the Warriors, whose
ve-game winning streak ended with their
fourth straight loss to the Clippers at
Staples Center. Stephen Curry had just 13
points and 11 assists before sitting out the
nal minutes.
Paul missed eight of his rst nine shots
and struggled all night under tight defense
from Thompson, but kept the Clippers
offense purring along with Darren Collison,
who had 11 points. Willie Green added 13
for the Clippers, who had seven players
scoring in double gures.
Grifn was in top form on both ends of
the court, punctuating his latest monster
performance with a mind-blowing, one-
handed rebound slam with 8:18 to play. The
four-time All-Star has scored 20 points in
24 consecutive games, the second-longest
streak in the NBAthis season.
Los Angeles also won with defense, hold-
ing Golden State to just one eld goal in a
9:40 stretch spanning the nal two quarters.
The Warriors stayed in it with defense and
free throws, but Collison scored six quick
points down the stretch in the fourth quar-
ter, pushing Los Angeles lead to a game-
high 10 points on a leaning jumper with
3:55 left.
Matt Barnes 3-pointer with 1:25 to play
essentially sealed the win.
The California clubs completed their
series with another demonstration of the
reasons they might have the West Coasts
best current rivalry, although both teams
agree they need playoff stakes to develop
true enmity.
Golden State led 56-54 after a tight rst
half with 20 lead changes. Curry managed
just seven points along with his eight
assists, while Paul had only ve points on
1-for-6 shooting with his seven assists.
Granger kept the Clippers in it during a
rocky rst-half stretch, making his rst six
shots without a miss in about 11 minutes.
He nished 7 for 11 in his fth game since
Los Angeles signed the longtime Indiana
star on Feb. 28.

ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders turned
their attention to defense on day two of free
agency.
One day after spending big to bring in two
players to bolster the offensive line, the
Raiders were preparing to host a number of
free-agent defenders.
Former Pittsburgh linebacker LaMarr
Woodley tweeted that he was headed for a
visit to Oakland and a person with knowl-
edge of former Dallas defensive tackle Jason
Hatchers plans said he is also planning to
visit after meeting with Seattle. The person
spoke on condition of anonymity because
the team does not announce free agent vis-
its.
ESPN reported that former New York
Giants defensive end Justin Tuck and corner-
back Terrell Thomas are also set to visit the
Raiders.
The Raiders need help on their pass rush
after losing last years leading sacker and
most consistent defender LaMarr Houston to
Chicago in free agency. The other three start-
ing defensive linemen - Pat Sims, Vance
Walker and Jason Hunter - are also free agents.
Oakland also has holes in the secondary
with starting cornerbacks Tracy Porter and
Mike Jenkins and free safety Charles
Woodson also free agents.
After showing some promise early in the
season, the Raiders defense wilted late and
allowed the second-most points per game
(28.3) in franchise history. Oakland has had
two of the three highest scoring seasons
allowed in coach Dennis Allens rst two
years with the franchise.
Tuck, Woodley and Hatcher all have proven
themselves as accomplished pass rushers in
the NFL, a trait the Raiders have been lacking
in recent years. They have not had a player
reach double gures in sacks since Derrick
Burgess and Warren Sapp both did it in 2006.
Tuck was rated as the ninth best pass rush-
ing defensive end by Pro Football Focus last
season when he had 11 sacks, 12 quarterback
hits and 44 hurries.
Woodley struggled with injuries the past
three seasons but was still an effective rusher
when healthy. He ended last season on
injured reserve with a calf injury and the
Steelers released him because of his high
salary.
After averaging 11 sacks per season from
2008-11, Woodley has only nine sacks in 24
games the past two years. He did have eight
quarterback hits and 24 hurries last season,
according to Pro Football Focus.
Hatcher was one of the most productive
inside pass rushers last season with Dallas,
when he had 11 sacks to lead all defensive
tackles.
Thomas, who missed the 2011 and 12 sea-
sons with a pair of ACLtears, struggled in his
return last season in coverage for the Giants.
He allowed 52 catches on 79 balls thrown his
way for 550 yards and six touchdowns for a
106.0 passer rating against, according to
game-charting by Pro Football Focus. His one
interception came against Oakland.
The Raiders, who began free agency with
about $60 million in salary cap room. They
formally announced a deal Wednesday with for-
mer New York Jets tackle Austin Howard that
had agreed to the previous day. The contract is
worth up to $30 million over ve years.
Oakland also agreed to deals Tuesday with
offensive lineman Rodger Saffold (ve-years,
$42.5 million, $21.5 million in guarantees)
and running back Darren McFadden (one year,
up to $4 million).
Raiders turn free agency focus to defense
SAN FRANCISCO While there were
doubts whether any team would give
Jonathan Martin another chance, the NFL
coach who knows him best considered it an
easy call.
San Franciscos Jim Harbaugh once sat in
Martins living room to recruit him,
coached him for three years at Stanford and
developed Martin into an All-American and
a second-round draft pick, then stood by
him from afar as Martin accused a Miami
teammate of bullying last year.
I believe everybody deserves an Etch-A-
Sketch opportunity and an opportunity to
start a new chapter, Harbaugh said
Wednesday in a phone interview with the
Associated Press. Because of my relation-
ship recruiting Jonathan, and (I) coached
Jonathan for three years at Stanford, Im
condent he will be committed to the mis-
sion and the organization. Very excited
about it.
Martin is back in a place he can feel safe
as he starts over on the football field.
Harbaughs 49ers acquired the offensive
tackle in a trade with the Dolphins on
Tuesday night, with a physical scheduled for
Thursday to nalize the deal.
Martin is just the latest player to receive a
new start under Harbaugh with the Niners.
From 2005 No. 1 overall pick Alex Smith
resurrecting his career under the former NFL
quarterback to Randy Moss return in 2012,
two years after three teams let him go, and
even San Francisco standing by Aldon
Smith and Chris Culliver during their off-
eld transgressions, the 49ers have provid-
ed second chances in many different forms
including for serious off-eld instances.
As long as he proves he can perform,
Martin certainly will be welcome in a close-
knit locker room of players who support
each other through highs and lows. A year
after their Super Bowl defeat, the 49ers lost
in the NFC championship game to the divi-
sion rival and eventual champion Seattle
Seahawks.
Im sure Jonathan will be ready to go. He
will help our team, right tackle Anthony
Davis posted on Twitter.
This past season, star linebacker Smith
spent a ve-game stint away from the team
Martin on familiar ground with 49ers Harbaugh

In the bottom of the second
though, Sequoia sent eight batters
to the plate. Carson Parodi got the
rally started with a high bounding
single to left and advanced to sec-
ond on an outeld error. After a
walk to Matt Marino, Parodi got
picked off of second, but in the
ensuing rundown, Marino moved
up to second. With one out,
Crowell singled to move Marino
to third. Lopez followed with an
RBI single to plate Marino. Wi t h
two outs, Gelphman was hit bay a
pitch to load the bases setting
the stage for a long, strange at bat
by Clifford.
After the rst pitch of the at bat,
the home plate umpire sent M-A
catcher Daniel Kollar-Gasiewski
out to the mound to tell his pitcher
Colin Martell that he was in jeop-
ardy of balking as he wasnt facing
the plate when coming set. After
the catcher did so, the umpires
decidedly confabbed at the mound
and it was decided the hole dug out
of the mound was not aligned with
the plate, and play was allowed to
continue with Martell throwing
from a sideways angle. Martell
immediately got strike two
against Clifford, but the senior
would work his way out of the
decit running the count full
but not before fouling a ball
painfully off his foot. Finally on
the payoff pitch, Clifford shot a
single to right to score Crowell
and Lopez, giving the Cherokees a
5-1 lead.
In the sixth, Sequoia added one
more. Cameron Greenough led off
with an ineld single, moved to
second on a sacrifice bunt by
Parodi, then moved to third on an
ineld single by Marino. Then on
a wheel steel, an errant throw by
M-As catcher allowed Greenough
to score, capping the days scor-
ing at 6-1.
One of the most intriguing arms
currently in the Peninsula Athletic
League, Cambron bulled through
six innings, allowing one run on
seven hits to earn the win. His
record improves to 3-0.
Hes been great, Uhalde said.
He and the rest of the team, being
very senior heavy, theyve been
through a lot. They really stay
level-headed and he does it as well
as anybody. So, hes been the guy
weve gone to over and over
throughout his career. We expect
him to be there this year. And
when he gets the ball he doesnt
want to come out of games. He
doesnt make a lot of excuses. He
just goes and get guys out.
With PAL Ocean Division play
beginning next week for Sequoia,
Cambron looks to be aligned to
start the March 18 league opener
against Aragon.
These guys are senior heavy
team and they really felt like they
could have played in the Bay
Division this year, Uhalde said.
So, we stacked the schedule with
as many Bay teams as we could and
Kyle as well as the rest of the guys
came out and played them as well
as they could.

at the longtime Sports Leader criti-
cizing other hosts on the station and, more
importantly, ripping the San Francisco
Giants, which is minority owned by
KNBR.
Im sure KNBR brass has had to do a lot
of hand holding with the Giants manage-
ment over Bruces comments over the
years. Ditto for the Golden State Warriors.
Personally, I liked Bruce taking on the
local franchises, calling them out when
warranted and praising them as well.
Bruce has even taken shots at 95.7 The
Game since it came on the scene in 2011,
cracking on the stations lack of ratings
and the constantly revolving talent.
Now, he is one of them and Im guessing
The Game hopes Bruce can bring a lot more
ears to the station. Its a perfect time slot
for Bruce, who always bristled at being pre-
empted by the Giants or Warriors games
when he worked the 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. shift
at KNBR.
After a brief and disastrous pairing
with Gary Radnich on the morning show,
Bruce was shufed off to KNBR 1050,
again, in my opinion, a move in which
KNBR management was attempting to
limit Bruces reach.
All that parlayed into for Bruce were
national CBS Radio gigs and now, to FM
land.
It may not be all smooth sailing for
Bruce, however. His new time slot goes
against KNBRs Tom Tolbert and most
often Ray Ratto, former San Francisco
Chronicle reporter and current CSNBay
reporter.
The Mr. TShow has been a ratings jug-
gernaut for years and he rules the sports-
talk drive time slot. Contrary to Bruces
hard-core sports edge, Tolberts style is a
lot more easy-breezy, one that easily tran-
sitions between sports, sport-entertain-
ment and pop culture.
Bruces move now leaves an opening on
KNBR 1050 where he was the only
local content on the station, not counting
the Mr. TShow simulcast from 3 p.m. to
7 p.m. The morning and evening shift are
covered by nationally syndicated shows
that dont necessarily keep the local listen-
er engaged.
Ramey had served as Bruces relief on
several occasions over the last several
months, but there is something about him
that just grates on me. I tried listening
Wednesday and he just doesnt do it for me.
It will be interesting to see if KNBR man-
agement just lets Ramey slide into the
noon to 3 slot, or if it nds someone else
within the building or just goes the syndi-
cation route.
The opening might be the perfect spot
for Kate Scott, the KNBR sports
anchor/updater from 5 a.m. to noon. She
has become a regular contributor on the
Gary Radnich Show, Featuring Larry
Krueger from 9 a.m. to noon and it doesnt
seem like she is just being a contrarian.
She is knowledgeable about sports and has
recently lled in for both Gary and Larry
when they were out. KNBR has given her a
couple of guest spots during the holidays
and Scott has more than held her own. It
wouldnt be surprising to see KNBR man-
agement give her a shot.
If not Scott, what about former KNBR
personality Dan Dibley, who was replaced
by Scott several years ago? As part of The
Games Rise Guys trio, Dibley is now
looking for work. When in Scotts chair
several years, he did seem like he would
disagree just to disagree, but Ive grown to
respect him more since he moved to 95.7
and think he could hold his own as part of a
duo, even though Ive seen plenty of com-
ments from people who are turned off by
him.
What about Scott and Dibley hosting?

to attend rehab for substance abuse then
returned to teammates who were thrilled to
have the menacing pass-rusher back on one
of the NFLs most dominant defenses.
Cornerback Culliver was forgiven for mak-
ing anti-gay remarks on Super Bowl media
day last year and was supported by the front
ofce on down as he reached out afterward to
the Bay Areas large lesbian, gay, bisexual
and transgender community.
Even quarterback Blaine Gabbert, the
10th overall draft pick in 2011 out of
Missouri, is getting a new look as Colin
Kaepernicks apparent backup after the
49ers acquired him from Jacksonville on
Tuesday. The Jaguars benched Gabbert after
three games last year.
Now, theres Martin, eager for a fresh start
out West after accusing former Miami team-
mate Richie Incognito of bullying in a
scandal that overshadowed the Dolphins 8-
8 year and late-season collapse.
An investigation for the NFL determined
last month that Incognito and two other
offensive linemen engaged in persistent
harassment of Martin, another offensive
lineman and an assistant trainer.
In November, Harbaugh publicly
expressed his support for Martin and called
him a personal friend while declining to
comment on specics of Miamis situation.
Martin left the Dolphins in late October and
underwent counseling for emotional issues.
Incognito was suspended for the nal eight
games.
The goal for this transaction is a win-
win. ... Its a great opportunity for Jon to
demonstrate to the football world that hes a
football player and worthy of his high draft
status, Harbaugh said Wednesday. Its a
great opportunity for our organization to
add a second-round pick.
Harbaugh planned to meet with his new
and, well, old player either Wednesday or
Thursday depending on when Martin was
able to take his physical at team headquar-
ters. He is nearby taking classes at
Stanford, about 20 miles away.
Once San Franciscos formal offseason
schedule begins, Harbaugh expects Martin
to nd his way in a hurry. After all, Martin
already knows many of the coaches who
worked under Harbaugh while he was turning
around the Cardinal program.
How he ts in on the depth chart is still to
be determined.
That will all be a process. Jons a very
intelligent football player and has familiar-
ity with our system, Harbaugh said. I
think that will be a very smooth transition
for him.
49ERS
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Tim Lincecum
pitched 4 1-3 effective innings, and the Giants
rallied for two runs in the bottom of the ninth
for a 4-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox
on Wednesday.
Lincecum walked a batter and struck out three.
Chicagos rst two runs came in the fth
inning, and the White Sox took a 3-2 lead in the
seventh.
The Giants won it with one out in the ninth.
Hector Sanchez led off with a single. Juan Perez
ran for him and scored on an opposite-eld dou-
ble to left by Nick Noonan. Brandon Hicks sac-
riced Noonan to third and Joaquin Arias
brought home the win with a hit to right-center.
White Sox Right-hander Felipe Paulino,
making a bid for a spot in the rotation after not
pitching in the major leagues since 2012 due to
ulnar-ligament replacement surgery in his
elbow, pitched 3 2-3 innings and gave up two
runs on ve hits and struck out ve.
The 6-foot-3, 270-pound Paulino is 13-32 in
61 career starts. The 30 year old last pitched for
Kansas City.
Manager Robin Ventura said earlier in the
week that Paulino, who has yet to get a win in
three spring starts with a 9.72 ERA, is not
going to be handed a rotation spot, and that he
is going to have to earn it.
Lincecum said he was not fatigued and felt he
could have kept going in the fth, when
Chicago scored its rst two runs.
Its good for me to get four-plus innings, get
the work in in a game-type situation, Lincecum
said. Ive had three starts now and Im still pro-
gressing.
Lincecum had four straight years where he
pitched 200 or more innings (2008-11) and nar-
rowly missed a fth in 2013 (by 2 1-3 innings),
and he wants to get back to that level.
Its time I challenged myself in that way,
said Lincecum, who over the winter in a rented
warehouse in his native Seattle and threw often
to friends from a portable mound.
First baseman Brandon Belt missed his sec-
ond straight game with a stomach virus.
Second baseman Marco Scutaro took batting
practice Wednesday, but it is looking more and
more as if he might begin the regular season on
the disabled list.
Backs are tricky, Ill tell you right now, said
Scutaro, who was slowed by the problem most
of the season after being injured during the last
week of spring in 2013. You never know what
can happen. You can feel good one day, then get
up the next morning and ...
The doctor wants him to strengthen his core.
He looked on the walls of his doctors ofce
and saw famous athletes that the doctor had
worked on and said to himself, I dont want to
be one of those guys. I dont want to see my pic-
ture up there.

Veteran bulb growers have learned to
put patience ahead of pruning in helping
their perennials bloom season after sea-
son. Theyre in no rush to remove the
unsightly leaves and stems of these
botanical storehouses, which need time
after flowering to renew their growth
cycle.
We consider the foliage of the bulbs
the recharging batteries, said Becky
Heath, president and chief executive offi-
cer of Brent and Beckys Bulbs at
Gloucester, Va. If they arent recharged,
the flowers wont bloom again.
Bulbs will green up despite premature
pruning, but return with fewer and smaller
blossoms. How long must you wait before
trimming the foliage to get successive
seasons of color?
After spring-flowering bulbs finish
blooming, allow for approximately six to
eight weeks before removing the foliage
to ground level, said Hans Langeveld,
co-owner of Longfield-Gardens.com, a
retail website for bulbs, perennials and
edibles in Lakewood, N.J. Another rule
of thumb is to wait until the foliage turns
brown and dries out.
That garden grooming tip applies to all
spring-flowering bulbs including tulips,
daffodils, hyacinths, crocus, alliums and
specialty varieties, Langeveld said. But
there are ways to make the decay less
unsightly.
An idea is to combine bulbs with other
perennials in the borders like hosta so
that hosta foliage covers the dying bulb
foliage, he said.
Summer-blooming bulbs that flower
until cold weather arrives need differing
levels of maintenance. This (first
killing frost) would be the time to cut to
ground level and dig the bulbs that are not
winter-resistant, like dahlias, gladiolus
and begonias, Langeveld said.
Other post-bloom,
bulb-care suggestions:
Braiding. The only foliage that lends
itself to be braided are daffodils,
Langeveld said. It is not a necessity, but
it will help keep your borders neat and
tidy.
Seed pods. Make sure to remove the
seed pods that sometimes form after
blooming, he said. These eat up a lot of
energy from the bulbs.
Fertilize when planting for healthier
roots. Before and during bloom also are
good times to apply bulb fertilizer, said
Leonard Perry, an extension professor
with the University of Vermont. This can
be a granular form (of fertilizer) as bulbs
are emerging or you can water with a liq-
uid fertilizer, he said in a fact sheet. The
key is to provide nutrients as the leaves
are making food for the next year.
Divide the bulbs if theyre becoming
too crowded, as often happens with large
daffodil clumps, or if they are blooming
less each year, Perry said. Dig and shake
the soil off bulbs after bloom, leaving
leaves attached if not died off already.
Bulbs should separate naturally, other-
wise plant back ones still joined togeth-
er, he said. Dont forcibly pry bulbs
apart.
Should you treat tulips as annuals or
perennials?
Tulips need to be in dry, well-drained
soils during their summer dormancy if
theyre to multiply or return to bloom,
said Scott Kunst, head gardener and owner
of Old House Gardens in Ann Arbor, Mich.
Thats hard to come by in the rainy east-
ern half of the U.S. or where people water
during the summer, he said. In those sit-
uations, many people just grow tulips as
annuals.
Dont prune too early, and other bulb-growing tips
After spring-owering bulbs nish blooming,allow for approximately six to eight weeks before
removing the foliage to ground level.

Building and construction toys have been
a xture in playrooms since, well, forever,
and there are several reasons for their endur-
ing appeal.
Directions arent necessary, no rules or
instructions are needed. Children are just
provided space to grow, says Judith Ellis,
founder and chairwoman of the Toy Design
department at New Yorks Fashion Institute
of Technology.
Construction toys empower children.
They offer a child a chance to be adventur-
ous to ask, what if, to think abstractly,
developing creative intelligence. Building
develops strategic thinking. It provides
visionary perspective and it increases
attention spans, Ellis says.
While Lego and Mega Blox are category
stalwarts Lego celebrates its 82nd birth-
day this year and has a hit movie in theaters
there are other interesting options to
consider.
At the recent Toy Fair 2014 in New York,
the building category was robust, according
to Adrienne Apell, trends specialist for the
Toy Industry Association. Its been very
hot, and thats going to continue, she
says. We love this trend because it speaks
to the fact that classic play patterns appeal
to kids, generation after generation.
Parents enjoy building stuff too, and
bring their own childhood memories to the
play table.
Right at Home: Beyond Lego, some new building toys
rience depending on the group of kids that
are with me, said Julia Segal, an 8-year-old
who has been attending Kidizens for more
than two years.
Sitting on the oor, Segal snapped multi-
colored Lego tiles together to construct four
walls for a new building and said she enjoys
making important things like a courthouse
or police station.
Upon building their city, the two kids in
each group become co-mayors responsible
for solving issues that arise in their juris-
diction. The teachers read a telegram to
each group throughout the day that poses
new issues such as the absence of an airport,
lack of road signs and other citizen com-
plaints.
As in real life, a city needs schools, roads,
bridges, libraries and businesses such as
restaurants, pet stores, movie theaters and
gas stations to sustain a thriving communi-
t y.
The kids are asked to create businesses
and services, such as banks, stores, shops
and movie theaters. They develop a busi-
ness plan, complete with location strate-
gies, budgets, funding plans and go through
a mock process of obtaining a business
loan and license to operate.
The entire process not only teaches entre-
preneurial skills, civic responsibility, his-
tory and government but also improves
pubic speaking skills, Vaidya said.
Even the shiest of the kids will start
speaking his voice because he wants to be
heard and he wants to make sure there isnt a
road passing through his house, Vaidya
said.
The idea of using Legos to enhance learn-
ing is not a new concept but Vaidya saw an
opportunity to standardize the process into
a tangible and teachable curriculum that
could be easily transplanted. Vaidya said a
teacher at Duvanech Middle School in Palo
Alto used Legos in the classroom to
enhance learning, which became the inspi-
ration to create an ongoing after-school
program. Vaidya said she realized the poten-
tial of teaching with Legos and decided to
acquire the rights and assets in 2001.
Since then, she has developed a systemat-
ic format that teaches civic leadership, pol-
itics, public speaking, business and entre-
preneurial skills through peer engagement
and role-playing.

When a 2011 storm destroyed their black
shingle roof, Carol and Ray Knoff of
Vinton, Iowa, opted to replace it with a roof
in vintage Victorian colors: a clay-like red
and gray.
Victorian homes typically had red slate
roofs, which weathered gray over time, so
the blend worked, says Carol Knoff.
It took Vinton a while to like it, she
says, but the neighbors have since come
around. The 1901 house is among several
Victorians built when Vinton housed one of
the worlds largest canneries.
Many homeowners these days are shun-
ning monotone roofs of brown, black and
gray and perking things up with color
blues, reds, purples, greens or combina-
tions of those hues.
Alot of people are going with roofs that
stand out on their own, says Kate Smith, a
Newport, R.I.-based color consultant.
They want something different that
expresses them and expresses their person-
ality.
Which could be a tricky proposition, says
Smith: You want to stand out while still t-
ting into your neighborhood, she says.
She admits to being taken aback herself
when colored roofs rst came into vogue
several years ago.
Exterior home color should always be used
judiciously, she says. But it is even more
crucial to use it correctly when youre adding
it to a large xed feature, like a roof, that is
not easily changed with a fresh coat of
paint.
Anything thats permanent needs to
blend, she says. You dont want to have
too many colors that arent working togeth-
er.
One trick for doing that, Smith says, is to
select roof colors true to your homes histo-
ry and architecture, and in natural shades.
For instance, Victorian homes originally
had colored roofs reds, orange, purple and
green were typical because the color of
the slate varied so much, she says.
Homeowners wanting to restore that look
should match those subtle tones.
When you saw purple, it was not a bright
Barney purple, she says.
Bright metal roofs most often red or
green are better suited for farmhouse-
style homes, or used over small structures
like porticos or bay windows. Steel blue is
more European.
Colored roofs are also starting to crop up
on new American-style homes, which
Smith describes as combining popular
styles and materials perhaps, say, a stone
and brick exterior with a copper roof.
The demand for colored roofs led DaVinci
Roofscapes of Kansas City, Kan., to create
faux slate and shake (wooden shingle) roof-
ing in 49 colors so homeowners can mix
and match those if they want to get really
creative, says the companys Wendy Bruch.
DaVincis palette is based on the naturally
occurring colors seen on historically accu-
rate roofs, she says. But custom colors are
increasingly popular, too.
There can be some crazy things going on
because we can create new colors, Bruch
says.
DaVinci has worked with customers to cre-
ate colors ranging from a chateau blue for a
French provincial-style house to a green
that matched the color on a metal roof with
weather-related damage.
Many customers appreciate help picking
the right shades, Bruch says. It can make it
confusing for the homeowner when you
have too many options, she says.
For Knoff, the risk of installing a colored
roof was well worth taking.
We absolutely love it, she says. When
you see our house, it really stands out. But
Victorians are supposed to be homes that
stand out.
Homeowners perking their roofs up with color
Many homeowners these days are shunning monotone roofs of brown, black and gray and
perking things up with color blues, reds, purples, greens or combinations of those hues.

who prided themselves on getting kids
to enjoy reading. With the new cur-
riculum we can return to novels, not
just reading short stories with ques-
tions at the end. Theyll be asked to
think more and defend their reasoning
with proof.
Meanwhile, Trustee Alisa MacAvoy
said theres been a lot of challenges
the last few years with budget cuts,
including asking teachers to do a lot
the last years at same time budget cuts
with the switch to Common Core.
There has been high stakes testing and
an expectation, and a lot of pressure,
from the community for high scores,
MacAvoy said. There will be less
teaching to bubble tests, she said,
since there are fewer stands that are
deeper and richer though.
The exciting thing with Common
Core is being able to bring back the
creativity in teaching and learning,
she said. Part of the climate up and
down the state has been California was
not invested so long in education and
its started to reinvest, so thats super
exciting. Ultimately, the bottom
line is I really want to work with teach-
ers to provide the best climate for them
and any dialogue they want to have
with us is great.
Pay concerns
Teachers in the district havent
received a cost-of-living adjustment or
across the board salary increase since
the 2007-08 school year, Baird said. In
November 2013, both sides reached an
impasse after they failed to come to an
agreement over a new contract after the
union requested a 7 percent pay
increase that could be spread out over
two years. The district countered with a
2 percent raise beginning on July 1.
The districts offer included a one-time
payment this year equal to 1 percent of
salaries, according to the district. For
the 2013-14 school year, the district
offered a one-time 2.6 percent salary
increase. This would be comprised of a
1 percent off-schedule bonus and a
reduction of three workdays equivalent
to a 1.6 percent salary increase,
according to the district. The union is
in the midst of negotiations with the
district over these contracts.
The states new Local Control
Funding Formula sends $2.1 billion
more to school districts that have high
numbers of students from lower-
income families, who have limited
English prociency or are foster chil-
dren. The district receives $141 per
pupil with the new formula, receiving
$1.3 million total from the state incre-
mentally, board Vice President Dennis
McBride said previously. There is still
a $2.5 million deficit, he said.
McBride said the district absolutely
wants to give teachers, staff and
administrators a raise, but it just does-
nt have the wherewithal. Currently,
certified, credentialed teachers make
from $45,495 to $84,938 annually.
Some people left the district
because of it (low pay), Baird said.
We lose a lot to Los Alamitos and
Palo Alto.
Staff turnover
Turnover has been high in the dis-
trict as a result of unhealthy working
conditions, said Baird. He cited the
fact that about 22 teachers have left
John Gill Elementary School in the
last four years and took pay cuts to get
out of the school. It says something
about climate when people are leaving
for even lower paying districts, he
said.
Were a poor district surrounded by
wealthy districts and were supposed to
compete in the high school district;
its a unique situation to be in and as a
result we have high turnover, he said.
Thats never good when youre trying
to build community.
In fact, turnover isnt very high in
the district overall, said
Superintendent Jan Christensen said.
Assistant Superintendent Jane Yuster
shared information at the Jan. 22
board meeting that there were 416 res-
ignations/retirements/non-reelects
over the last seven years; 86 retire-
ments, 191 resignations, 19 non-
reelects, 101 temporary employees
released and 19 miscellaneous non-
returning employees. That adds up to a
loss of about 5.8 percent per year,
compared to 16.8 percent nationwide,
according to the district. The situation
at John Gill is attributed to nixing the
multi-age program that had students
grouped in grade K-2 and grade 3-5
learning communities. In the program,
students were placed with the same
teacher for three years and learned in a
differentiated environment that is tai-
lored to meet student needs.
John Gill was going through sig-
nificant changes in program,
Christensen said. We could not sup-
port the K-2 program and some [teach-
ers] chose to leave and go to another
district. I am so supportive of our
teachers and of what we have all gone
through. Im really proud we did not
have to have our teachers take furlough
days during this horrible downturn.
Other concerns
Christensen did agree that the dis-
trict students are at a disadvantage
compared to other students in the area
and recently wrote a blog post for
School Administrator Magazine about
it. Many of its students get less mone-
tary support at home and need more at
school, yet much less is spent on their
education, she wrote.
When students from my K-8 district
get to high school, they sit next to
students in algebra or biology or
English who had $50,000 to
$100,000 more invested in their K-8
public school education, not to men-
tion additional opportunities provided
by their parents: private tutoring,
travel, music lessons and more access
to technology at home, she wrote.
Redwood City is the lowest funded of
eight elementary districts that feed
into our local high school district. The
highest spends more than $17,000 per
student per year; we spend less than
$9,000 and that includes all federal
and state money earmarked to meet the
greater personal needs of students
learning English and living in pover-
t y.
Baird noted that many administra-
tors have had personality changes
when theyre under pressure to get test
scores up and are threatened by not get-
ting funded. But, Christensen said the
expectation is to teach California
standards.
I think we have amazing teachers in
our district, she said. Its been a real-
ly challenging last ve years with a
severe decrease in revenue. Common
Core curriculum is a different way to
approach testing. It is a shift, but
were still expected to teach California
standards in the curriculum.
In addition to the changing stan-
dards, the superintendent, a board
member and other district ofcials will
begin to have ofcial climate meet-
ings with the teachers union April 7,
which will occur about once a month.
Having begun planning for the April
meeting in November, its an encour-
aging sign to nally have a date, said
board President Maria Diaz-Slocum.
The results from this years climate
survey are still being collected and
will be presented to the public in April
or early May.
We do take school climate very
seriously, Christensen said.
The school district will next meet
with the teachers association for labor
negotiations March 31.

AMENDED NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
GERALDINE SMITH MOORE, aka
GERALDINE S. MOORE
Case Number: 124218
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Geraldine Smith Moore,
aka Geraldine S. Moore. A Petition for
Probate has been filed by Chinere Egu
in the Superior Court of California, Coun-
ty of San Mateo. The Petition for Pro-
bate requests that Cinyere Egu be ap-
pointed as personal representative to ad-
minister the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: April 8, 2014 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal au-
thority may affect your rights as a cred-
itor. You may want to consult with an at-
torney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

203 Public Notices
Placing the highest bid at a trustee auc-
tion does not automatically entitle you to
free and clear ownership of the property.
You should also be aware that the lien
being auctioned off may be a junior lien.
If you are the highest bidder at the auc-
tion, you are or may be responsible for
paying off all liens senior to the lien being
auctioned off, before you can receive
clear title to the property. You are en-
couraged to investigate the existence,
priority and size of outstanding liens that
may exist on this property by contacting
the county recorder's office or a title in-
surance company, either of which may
charge you a fee for this information. If
you consult either of these resources,
you should be aware that the same lend-
er may hold more than one mortgage or
deed of trust on the property. NOTICE
TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date
shown on this notice of sale may be
postponed one or more times by the
mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a
