San Bruno condemned PG&Es
response to its criminal indictment
brought against it in response to the
Sept. 9, 2010, natural gas explosion.
Wednesday afternoon, Mayor Jim
Ruane said he was pleased with the
action by the U.S. attorneys ofce to
le criminal charges against Pacic
Gas and Electric Company, but said he
was angered the utility continues to
call this an accident and deny direct
responsibility for killing eight people
and injuring scores of others.
This is a very difcult situation for
us because were living through this
every day, he said at a press confer-
ence Wednesday. Its disheartening
they keep calling this an accident; it
was not and it could have been pre-
vented.
The indictment, announced Tuesday,
charges the utility with 12 felony vio-
lations of federal pipeline safety laws,
which could carry a total possible ne
of $6 million, or more if the court
decides it somehow beneted nancial-
ly from the disaster. Federal prosecu-
tors allege that PG&E knowingly
relied on erroneous and incomplete
information when assessing the safety

Redwood City is appealing a
court ruling that it cannot keep
more than $10 million set aside
for affordable housing because the
money had yet to be committed to
specic projects.
The decision to give the money
instead to local taxing entities
keeps Redwood City from living
up to its 1990 agreement with the
Legal Aid Society to spend the
funds on affordable housing, city
officials said Wednesday in an
announcement of its appeal plans.

Woman pays $200 bill with
coins, town says no more
ERIE, Pa. APennsylvania town-
ship is asking residents to keep the
change.
Officials in Millcreek Township,
along with its water and sewer author-
ities, have adopted a policy limiting
how much change theyll accept from
residents paying sewer bills and other
fees.
David Sterrett, executive director of
the authorities, tells the Erie Times-
News that officials came up with the
policy after a woman showed up last
month with a shoebox full of nickels,
dimes and quarters to pay a $200
sewer bill.
Sterrett says it took four employees
an hour to count, sort and put the
money into paper sleeves.
The new policy limits residents to
using $10 in unrolled coins or $20 in
rolled coins when paying bills.

charges after he allegedly drove a lad-
der truck into a motorcyclist and left
the scene has made his first appear-
ance in court.
Michael Quinn did not enter a plea
during his arraignment in San
Francisco Superior Court on
Wednesday. The 43-year-old Quinn
was indicted by a grand jury on
Monday on three felonies in connec-
tion with the crash last June.
Prosecutors say Quinn was driving
with the siren blaring, responding to
what turned out to be a false alarm,
when he struck the motorcyclist.
Quinn reportedly was spotted at a bar
guzzling water immediately after the
crash. His blood-alcohol level was
measured at .13 percent.
The motorcyclist suffered broken
bones and a punctured lung.
Quinn is due back in court on April

Suspended state Sen. Leland Yee, D-San
Francisco/San Mateo, has chosen a new
lawyer to defend him against federal public
corruption and gun trafcking charges.
Yees former attorney, Paul DeMeester,
conrmed Wednesday morning that Yee has
replaced him with defense attorney James
Lassart.
Lassart worked for 12 years as an assis-
tant district attorney in San Francisco and
then for ve years as a federal prosecutor
pursuing organized crime cases before
entering private practice.
Yees next court appearance is an April 8
arraignment before U.S. Magistrate Joseph
Spero in San Francisco on an expected fed-
eral grand jury indictment, which would
replace a criminal complaint led by prose-
cutors against Yee and 25 other defendants
last week.
Most of the other defendants will also be
arraigned at that hearing.
DeMeester represented Yee when he was
arrested on March 26 and freed on a
$500,000 bond. The next day, he
announced on the senators behalf that Yee
was withdrawing his candidacy to be secre-
tary of state.
DeMeester said Wednesday that the
change in lawyers was the clients
choice.
There was no conict, no disagreement,
DeMeester said. I was happy to help and
get Sen. Yee out of custody. Ive been a
longtime friend of Leland
Yee and I wish him well.
He will be in good
hands, DeMeester said.
Lassart was not imme-
diately available for com-
ment Wednesday.
Yee faces six counts of
scheming to defraud citi-
zens of his honest servic-
es by allegedly solicit-
ing and accepting campaign contributions
in exchange for using his position to aid
the purported donors, who were in fact
undercover FBI agents.
He is also accused of a seventh charge of
trafcking in rearms without a license in
connection with an alleged plan to arrange
for an undercover agent posing as a Maa
member to buy $2 million worth of
weapons from an arms dealer in the
Philippines.
Another defendant, Raymond Shrimp
Boy Chow, was assigned a defense lawyer
by Spero. Chows attorney will be Martha
Boersch, who is also a former federal pros-
ecutor.
Chow, who is the leader of the San
Francisco-based Chee Kung Tong organiza-
tion and was previously convicted of rack-
eteering, is charged with money launder-
ing, conspiring to receive stolen property,
and trafcking in contraband cigarettes.
He is currently in custody and is scheduled
to have a detention hearing at the April 8
hearing before Spero.

sentenced May 16.
Fatal fire near Cow Palace

said.
The duplex sustained $100,000 in property damage and
$75,000 in damage to its contents. Each of the other two
houses sustained an estimated $5,000 in damage, Talmadge
said.
Six people were displaced from the duplex and are being

For students struggling with read-
ing, John Gill Elementary Schools
Reading Partners program has helped
boost not only students reading lev-
els, but their confidence as well.
Diana Martin, site coordinator for
the Redwood City schools program,
brought the nonprofit to John Gill
through AmeriCorps in August 2012
and has helped pair students with
individual volunteer tutors. It aims to
close the reading achievement gap.
Teachers refer students they think
need support and there are currently
47 student enrolled. Selected students
are a year to two and half years behind
the expected reading grade level.
The one-on-one volunteer to stu-
dent relationship its amazing to
watch those relationships develop,
Martin said. A student will be shy
and not say a word, then theyre hav-
ing conversations with their tutors.
It changes a student.
Reading Partners was founded in
1999 by three community leaders
committed to improving childrens
literacy and life opportunities. Mary
Wright Shaw, Molly McCrory and
Jean Bacigalupi launched a one-on-
one tutoring program to help chil-
dren with the poorest reading skills
at Belle Haven Community School in
Menlo Park.
The program is vital across many
districts as, according to Reading
Partners data from 2013, just 34 per-
cent of the nations fourth-graders in
public school could read proficiently.
According to the data, children who
cannot read proficiently by the
fourth-grade are four times less likely
to graduate on time hindering their
chances to live a happy, healthy,
productive life. More stunning, one
in three students was shown to be
reading below basic proficiency
functionally illiterate. For students
from low-income families, the situa-
tion is even more dire 82 percent
of students eligible for free or reduced
lunches cannot read with proficiency.
Volunteers go through one training
session. The structured curriculum is
set by Reading Partners and there are
five separate reading levels. Theres a
foundation level, followed by skills
such as making inferences, learning
cause and effect and determining
themes. The tutor reads to the student
during the 45-minute session each
student does two sessions a week dur-
ing or after school and asks infer-
ential questions to students so they
think about what theyre readings.
Students read articles, books and
short stories with the tutors.
Tutor Matt Denecour, a former sub-
stitute teacher, was drawn to the pro-
gram after he missed working with
children, noting one doesnt have to
be a former teacher to feel like they
can be successful as a tutor. Tutors are
high school and college students,
retired and other professionals.
I get the opportunity to work with
the kids, he said. I like the way the
program is set up. They make it very
easy to be a tutor because of the way
they have all the lessons broken
down and planned out. The staff is
fantastic; its pretty amazing consid-
ering all of them are young and just
out of college.
The kids become more confident
readers, Denecour said.
A little guy I had last year, at the
end of year he was at grade level [for
reading], he said.
The schools principal said its
made a great difference to the school
and he loves the program that allows
kids to have somebody in their cor-
ner to work with them.
One of the major benefits from my
point of view is that each of these
kids has an adult who cares about him
or her who sees them every week,
said Principal Josh Griffith. It helps
having an older advocate. Its
shown great benefits socially, emo-
tionally and academically. Diana
Martin is one of the most competent
professionals Ive worked with.

Workers walk through mud and debris as search work continues from a massive mudslide that
struck Oso near Darrington,Wash.
By Lisa Baumann
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
EVERETT, Wash. As medical examiners
painstakingly piece together the identities
and lives of the 29 people known killed when
a mudslide wiped out a small Washington
community, one mystery troubles them.
One set of remains does not t with the
description on the missing persons list,
which, as of Wednesday included 18 people.
The medical examiners know it is a male.
But his remains give no clue as to who he
was, or who might be looking for him. They
cant even identify his age range. Without
possible family members to compare, DNA
tests are useless. At this point, gold teeth are
all they have to go on.
The mystery underscores the tedious
process of identifying remains more than a
week after the March 22 landslide that broke
off a steep hill, roared across the North Fork
of the Stillaguamish River and buried a com-
munity at Oso, about 55 miles north of
Seattle.
Like the homes, the cars and the other parts
of peoples lives swept away by the torrent of
mud, some bodies are in pieces.
Norman Thiersch, the Snohomish County
Medical Examiner, said the goal of the team
which is made up of medical examiners,
detectives, dentists and others is to make
sure theres no doubt as to the identities of
the victims.
This is not television, he said. These
are methodical, painstaking processes we go
through.
Although the identities of 28 of the 29
conrmed dead have been determined, of-
cials have so far released the names of only
25. Other names are expected to be released
by the end of the week. Eighteen people are
still listed as missing.
HOW ARE THE BODIES PROCESSED?
When bodies or remains are found in the
mudslide area, crews dig them out and they are
own by helicopter to a nearby landing pad
where they are readied to move to the medical
examiners ofce in Everett, about 30 miles
from the scene. Once there, the bodies are
moved to a tented area for decontamination,
where they are cleaned in warm water. From
there they are moved to the autopsy room
where examiners take ngerprints, look for
signs of dental work and identifying marks
such as tattoos. When that work is complete,
remains are moved to a refrigerated area where
they stay until funeral homes make arrange-
ments for burial or cremation.
WHY DOES IT TAKE SO
LONG TO IDENTIFY BODIES?
The process for identifying remains, some
of which are partial, is careful work, espe-
cially when trauma is involved, Thiersch
said.
This isnt going into a room and saying,
This is him, he said.
Efforts to identify using dental work, n-
gerprints or tattoos, can take time and if that
doesnt work, ofcials turn to DNA testing.
But that works best in cases in which a close
family member can give a sample for com-
parison. Theyve only needed to use DNA
testing to identify one of the slide victims.
At the same time, detectives are working to
help determine identities by using informa-
tion from families, social media accounts
and belongings from the site.
HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE
WORKING THERE? WHAT DO THEY DO?
The regular staff of about 12 at the
Snohomish County Medical Examiners
ofce has been supported with dozens of
professionals from King, Pierce, Skagit and
Kitsap counties and members of the Air
National Guard. Medical examiners are
working with pathologists, dentists and
medical investigators to clean bodies, take
ngerprints, and note tattoos or other dis-
tinguishing features. Detectives and other
professionals do online research and call
families to determine the identities of the
victims.
HOW DO WORKERS
COPE IN THESE SITUATIONS?
People working at the medical examiners
ofce are doing everything from calling
family members to cleaning bodies and the
stress takes a toll. On Wednesday, a therapy
dog named Paddington comforted members
of the Air National Guard and medical inves-
tigators.
A team of county mental health workers
was expected to visit the ofce later this
week to meet with workers one-on-one.
Medical examiners ofce deputy director
Dennis Peterson said staff has been so dedi-
cated to the work that hes had to kick them
out to force them to rest.
HOW LONG BEFORE
ALL REMAINS ARE IDENTIFIED?
Ofcials said Wednesday they expect all
remains currently at the medical examiners
ofce to be identied by later this week,
except for the one man. Investigators are
still working to determine his identity.
We make no assumptions, Snohomish
County Sheriffs office Sgt. Shawn Stich
said, noting they will not give up the inves-
tigation.
Its such a big impact on our community
and thats why we are here.

they feel warm and fuzzy inside, said owner
Michael Mazaffari.
Subscribing to the farm-to-table concept,
Mazaffari said he visits local, smaller scale
farms and ranches to ensure the meat is free
roaming, cattle grazed and humanely treated
and the produce is not genetically modied.
Genetically modied organisms are injected
with viruses, bacteria or other plants to cre-
ate an end product with desired and intended
outcomes.
People need to be conscientious of what
they put in their body, said Mazaffari.
In recent years, concern over the safety
and long-term health risks of GMOs
prompted policy makers to author legisla-
tion to require food manufacturers to dis-
close any use of genetically modied ingre-
dients.
In February, state Sen. Noreen Evans, D-
Santa Rosa, introduced Senate Bill 1381,
which would require all GMO food products
sold or distributed in California to be clear-
ly labeled as such, even if they contain
some products of genetic engineering.
We eat what we serve because if I cant eat
it or if I dont feel like I would pay the
amount of money that Im charging for it,
Im not going to sell it, said Mazaffari.
Mazaffari said his business plan is often
criticized because the concept of using all
grass-fed meat and organic produce typical-
ly yields a smaller prot margin.
According to Tammy Jimenez, a district
sales representative for Brisbane-based
BiRite restaurant food distributor, there can
be a substantial price difference between
organic and non-organic foods. Apound of
organic chicken costs an average of $7.39
compared to $3.99 for regular chicken, she
said.
We sell them in cases at a minimum of 40
pounds per box so the price for a restaurant
owner to go organic can be pretty steep,
said Jimenez.
Mazaffari said it is a labor of love and in
times of doubt he turns to his wife, business
partner and restaurant namesake Allison
Little, for comfort and reassurance. As a per-
sonal trainer and wellness coach for more
than 20 years, Little shares Mazaffaris phi-
losophy.
Its a dream in a sense that our goal was
to have a restaurant that makes a state-
ment, said Mazaffari.
After years of working in restaurants
while paying for college at the University
of California at Berkeley then honing his
craft by completing culinary school in
Italy, Mazaffari said Alys on Main is a life
accomplishment but also a platform that
opens a dialogue about food politics and
GMOs.
On most evenings, Mazaffari dressed in a
maroon chef outt with his rst name in red
stitching, comes out of his kitchen to chat
with customers about food, food politics
and married life.
We think that were selling more than just
food and Im hoping that we are going to get
to a point where our client base really
appreciates that, said Mazaffari.
Alys on Main is a modest space that seats
a maximum of 45 patrons but hardly feels
compact because of the unobtrusive oor
plan that ows toward an open kitchen with
high ceilings, modern dcor and a long bar
that seats another 10.
Everything is handmade from scratch,
including the pasta, ketchup, aioli and
sauces. A few of its staples is a grass-fed
organic burger and multi-color grilled car-
rots. It also has an extensive dinner menu
that features items such as pan seared duck
breast and grilled lamb chops. The menu
changes regularly based on what is fresh and
in season.
Alys on Main is located at 911 Main St.
in Redwood City. For more information go

WASHINGTON The Supreme Court rul-
ing Wednesday erasing a long-standing
limit on campaign donations will allow a
small number of very wealthy donors to
give even more than is currently the case,
according to students of the complex cam-
paign nance system, and could strengthen
the establishment in both parties.
While Republicans cheered the ruling on
philosophical grounds and Democrats criti-
cized it, there was a general agreement that
the decision itself was unlikely to benet
one party over another.
This is not a decision that advantages
one party over the other. It advantages
wealthy people over everybody else, said
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
On a 5-4 ruling, the court struck down a
limitation on the amount any donor may
give to candidates, committees and political
action committees combined.
Only 646 out of millions of donors in the
election cycle of 2011-2012 gave the now-
defunct legal maximum, according to the
Center for Responsive Politics. For the cur-
rent election cycle, the limit is $123,200,
broken down as $48,600 to all candidates
combined and $74,600 to all party commit-
tees and political action committees in
total.
The ruling will mean there will be much
greater emphasis by the campaigns and the
parties on those donors with the biggest
checkbooks who can make those very large
contributions, said Bob Biersack, who
works for the CRP and is a 30-year veteran
of the Federal Election Commission.
Whether thats good or bad depends on
your perspective on how this whole system
should work, but it absolutely means that
the small number of people who can give at
those levels will be asked to give more, he
added.
The ruling leaves unchanged a parallel
system in which individuals donate unlimit-
ed amounts, sometimes undisclosed, to cer-
tain outside groups. Biersack said the same
small group of 646 donors gave a total of
about $93.4 million in the last campaign.
Their largesse will still be avidly sought, as
Republican presidential hopefuls recently
demonstrated by travelling to Las Vegas to
meet with casino magnate and conservative
donor Sheldon Adelson.
In the realm of limited donations, Cleta
Mitchell, an election lawyer for
Republicans, said the courts ruling means
that various party committees and candi-
dates no longer will have to vie for money
from the same contributors. The law permits
a donor to contribute $5,200 for the primary
and general election combined to any candi-
date, and if they did so, could donate only to
nine office-seekers before reaching the
$48,600 limit to all federal ofce-seekers.
Similarly, while Republicans and
Democrats in Washington each maintain a
national party committee, a Senate cam-
paign committee and a House campaign
committee, a donor could give the maximum
allowable amount to only two of the three
without violating the overall limitation the
court discarded.
Now, Mitchell said, the donors get to
choose obviously, but the committees dont
have to feel like theyre pinching another
partys donors.
In all, she described the ruling as a posi-
tive for the parties.
Fred Malek, a veteran Republican
fundraiser, said the ruling seems most likely
to help individual candidates and will tend
to widen the number of well-nanced and
competitive races.
The courts ruling also means that donors
will be able to give $10,000 a year to as
many state party committees as they want,
so-called joint committees, in which a law-
maker can now solicit funds simultaneously
for their own campaign, their own political
action committee, their party and for an
unlimited number of other candidates with-
out donors exceeding the old limits.
Biersack cited House Speaker John
Boehners fundraising efforts as an exam-
ple, said he would now be able to use a joint
fundraising committee for hundreds of
Republican House candidates simultaneous-
l y, greatly expanding their ability to receive
funds.
In theory, this ability could once more
allow parties and their leaders to assert more
discipline over rank-and-file lawmakers,
who have become increasingly beholden to
outside groups in recent years.
Big donors may give even more under courts ruling
This is not a decision that
advantages one party over the other. It
advantages wealthy people over everybody else.

DENVER Three-fourths of Americans
say its inevitable that marijuana will be
legal for recreational use across the nation,
whether they support such policies or not,
according to a public opinion poll released
Wednesday that highlights shifting atti-
tudes following the drug war era and tough-
on-crime legislation.
The Pew Research Center survey also
shows increased support for ending manda-
tory minimum prison sentences for non-
violent drug offenders and doing away alto-
gether with jail time for small amounts of
marijuana.
The opinions come as public debate on
these topics has led lawmakers around the
nation to consider policy changes.
Since California became the rst state to
legalize medical marijuana in 1996, at least
19 others and the District of Columbia have
followed suit, including two that have
approved recreational use. More than a
dozen state legislatures considered legaliza-
tion measures this year.
Meanwhile, critics and political leaders,
both liberal and conservative, have clam-
ored for an end to harsh drug sentences, say-
ing mandatory minimums have contributed
to prison overcrowding, civil rights viola-
tions and strained budgets. U.S. Attorney
General Eric Holder has been pushing
Congress to overhaul drug sentencing poli-
cies.
The telephone survey found that 75 per-
cent of respondents including majorities
of both supporters and opponents of legal
marijuana think that the sale and use of
pot eventually will be legal nationwide.
It was the rst time that question had been
asked, but it reflects a gradual trend of
acceptance.
The survey indicates that four years ago,
52 percent of respondents said they thought
the use of marijuana should not be legal,
while 41 percent said it should. The new
poll shows a reversal with 54 percent in
favor of legalization and 42 percent
opposed. It marked a turning point in a gap
that has been shrinking fairly steadily since
1969, the earliest data available, when 84
percent said pot should be illegal and only
12 percent thought otherwise.
Pot just doesnt seem as bad, said
Gregory Carlson, a 52-year-old landscaper
from Denver who did not participate in the
Pew survey.
You dont see anything about someone
smoking a joint and then driving the wrong
way into a school bus, Carlson said. With
a chuckle, he added Wednesday, They just
drive slower.
The survey also highlighted a dramatic
shift in attitudes on drug conviction penal-
ties.
The survey was about evenly divided in
2001 on whether it was good or bad for
states to move away from mandatory mini-
mum sentences for non-violent drug offend-
ers. Today, poll respondents favored mov-
ing away from such policies by a nearly 2-
to-1 margin, or 63 percent to 32 percent.
Respondents said by a margin greater
than 3-to-1 that people who use small
amounts of pot shouldnt go to jail.
Even people who dont favor the legal-
ization of marijuana think the possession
of small amounts shouldnt result in jail
time, said Carroll Doherty, Pews Director
of Political Research.
The nation thought differently a genera-
tion ago.
Congress passed the Anti-Drug Abuse Act
in 1986 to set mandatory minimum sen-
tences for federal drug crimes that could end
up in life sentences for repeat offenders.
Years later, many states reported prisons
bursting at the seams, prompting public
ofcials to start abandoning lock em up
drug policies in the 1990s. The trend has
since accelerated.
Last month, Holder testied in support of
proposed sentence reductions in an effort to
reserve the the harshest penalties for the
most serious drug offenders.
Such plans, including one drafted by
Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul, that
would give judges wider discretion in sen-
tencing have picked up support from both
Republicans and Democrats.
The poll suggested that, despite shifting
attitudes on legalization, the public remains
concerned about drug abuse, with 32 percent
of those surveyed calling it a crisis and 55
percent of respondents viewing it as a seri-
ous national problem.
And a narrow majority, 54 percent, said
marijuana legalization would lead to more
underage people trying it.
Marijuana legalization opponents, how-
ever, said the public isnt sold yet on legal
pot .
Poll: Three-fourths of U.S. says pot will be legal
Appeals court: One Texas
execution back on schedule
HOUSTON A federal appeals court on
Wednesday threw out a ruling requiring the
Texas prison system to disclose more infor-
mation about where it gets lethal-injection
drugs, reversing a judge who had halted an
upcoming execution.
Only hours before the appellate decision,
a lower-court judge issued a temporary
injunction halting the execution of Tommy
Lynn Sells, a convicted serial killer who
was set to die Thursday.
The case originally included Ramiro
Hernandez-Llanas, another inmate sched-
uled to be put to death next week. But the
appellate ruling affected only Sells. The
appeals court said it would take up
Hernandez-Llanas case at a later date.
Former CIA official:
No politics in Benghazi memo
WASHINGTON The CIAs former deputy
director said Wednesday he deleted refer-
ences to terrorism warnings from widely
disputed talking points on the deadly 2012
Benghazi attack to avoid the spy agencys
gloating at the expense of the State
Department.
Mike Morell faced more than three hours
of questioning from the House Intelligence
committee in a rare open session that exam-
ined who changed the talking points and
why in the politically-charged aftermath
of the deadly Sept. 11 assault on a U.S.
diplomatic mission in Libya.

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)

FORTHOOD, Texas Asoldier opened re
Wednesday on fellow service members at the
Fort Hood military base, killing three people
and wounding 16 before committing suicide
at the same post where more than a dozen
people were slain in a 2009 attack, authori-
ties said.
The shooter, who served in Iraq in 2011,
had been undergoing an assessment to deter-
mine whether he had post-traumatic stress
disorder, according to Lt. Gen. Mark A.
Milley, the senior ofcer on the base.
There was no indication the attack was
related to terrorism, Milley said.
A Texas congressman said the shooting
happened at a medical center. Rep. Michael
McCaul, chairman of the House Homeland
Security Committee, also identied the sus-
pect as Ivan Lopez. But additional details
about the gunman were not immediately
available.
The injured were taken to Darnall Army
Community Hospital at Fort Hood and other
local hospitals. Dr. Glen Couchman, chief
medical ofcer at Scott and White Hospital in
Temple, said the rst four people admitted
there had gunshots to chest, abdomen, neck
and extremities and that their conditions
range from stable to quite critical.
The 2009 assault on Fort Hood was the
deadliest attack on a domestic military instal-
lation in U.S. history. Thirteen people were
killed and more than 30 wounded.
After the shooting began, the Armys of-
cial Twitter feed said the post had been locked
down. Hours later, all-clear sirens sounded.
On Wednesday evening, a fatigue-clad sol-
dier and a military police ofcer stood about a
quarter-mile from the main gate waving away
trafc. Other lanes were blocked by a police
car and van.
Meanwhile, relatives of soldiers waited for
news about their loved ones.
Tayra DeHart, 33, said she had last heard
from her husband, a soldier at the post, that
he was safe, but that was hours earlier.
The last two hours have been the most
nerve-racking Ive ever felt. I know God is
here protecting me and all the soldiers, but I
have my phone in my hand just hoping it
will ring and it will be my husband, DeHart
said.
Brooke Conover, whose husband was on
base at the time of the shooting, said she
found out about it while checking Facebook.
She said she called her husband, Staff Sgt.
Sean Conover, immediately to make sure he
was OK, but he could not even tell her exact-
ly what was going on, only that the base was
locked down.
Im still hearing conicting stories about
what happened and where the shooting was
exactly, Conover said in a telephone inter-
view, explaining that she still did not know
how close the incident was to her husband.
I just want him to come home, said
Conover, who moved to Fort Hood with her
husband and three daughters two years ago.
President Barack Obama vowed that inves-
tigators would get to the bottom of the
shooting.
In a hastily arranged statement in Chicago,
Obama said he was following the situation
closely. He said the shooting brought back
painful memories of the 2009 attack.
Obama reflected on the sacrifices that
troops stationed at Fort Hood have made
including enduring multiple tours to Iraq and
Afghanistan.
They serve with valor. They serve with
distinction, and when theyre at their home
base, they need to feel safe, Obama said.
We dont yet know what happened tonight,
but obviously that sense of safety has been
broken once again.
The president spoke without notes or pre-
pared remarks in the same room of a steak-
house where he had just met with about 25
donors at a previously scheduled fundraiser
for the Democratic National Committee.
White House ofcials quickly pushed tables
to the side of the room to make room for
Obama to speak to the nation.

William Lawson Duncan
William Lawson Duncan died March 30, 2014, with his
family by his side.
He married the love of his life, Alberta Smith, in 1937
(Alberta died in 2003) and in 1951, they moved to Redwood
City and remained in the same house until his death.
Bill was employed at Hunters Point Navel Shipyard as a
machinist for 35 years until he retired in 1971.
Bill volunteered at the Veterans Memorial Building in
Redwood City, participating in the Fun After Fifty Club and
the National Association of Retired Federal Employees
(NARFE). Bill had been an active member of the Masonic
Lodge No. 651 since 1971.
Bill and Alberta raised a family of four children, John
Duncan of Sacramento, William R. Duncan of Redwood
City, Arlene Gilbert of Milpitas and Janice Anderson (Paul)
of Redwood City. He also had 10 grandchildren and 14 great-
grandchildren.
A memorial service and reception will be held 11 a.m.
April 7, 2014, at Redwood Chapel at 847 Woodside Road.
Burial will be private.
The family requests no owers, but if you wish to donate
to the Alzheimers Association or American Cancer Society
in his name, that would make him very happy.

Bomb kills six at well-guarded area in Afghanistan
KABUL, Afghanistan A suicide bombing killed six
policemen at the Afghan Interior Ministry compound in one
of the capitals most heavily fortied areas Wednesday, part
of a recent escalation in violence in the heart of Kabul.
The bloodshed is threatening to scare voters away from the
polls as Afghans worry security forces unable to guard areas
previously considered safe wont be able to protect them on
election day. The Taliban have launched a campaign of vio-
lence to disrupt Saturdays vote for a new president and
provincial councils. Many voters have deantly said they
would go to the polls despite the violence, but Wednesdays
attack was a last straw for some.
Mohammad Ramin, an 18-year-old who has a photo store
near the site of the blast, said he registered to vote for the rst
time last week but was too scared to go to the polls now.
I am so disappointed, but I am not going to vote on elec-
tion day because of the bad security, he said. I dont want
anybody in my family to go either.
The bomber, wearing a military uniform, passed through
several checkpoints to reach the ministry gate before deto-
nating his explosives in the midst of other uniformed men
entering the compound, according to the Interior Ministry,
which oversees the Afghan police.
U.S. calls on Europe to wean itself from Russian gas
BRUSSELS The United States called on Europe to wean
itself from a dangerous dependency on Russian gas, saying it
was time to stand together and bring an end to the Kremlins
use of energy supplies as political leverage.
Left unsaid was the European Unions reluctance to follow
the United States headlong into shale gas extraction, which
has transformed the global energy scene and turned the U.S.
from importer into a nascent exporter. Or its refusal to fully
re-embrace nuclear power in the wake of the Fukushima disas-
ter in Japan.
And even if it tried to become independent, it would take
Europe years to develop promising sources, such as shale
deposits in Ukraine and Poland and with no guarantees of
success. Europes reliance on Russia for a third of its energy
needs has left the Kremlin in a position of power, embolden-
ing it as it swept in to annex the Crimean Peninsula from
Ukraine last month, with little more than diplomatic protest
and a few sanctions in return.
Around the world

IQUIQUE, Chile A powerful 7.8-mag-
nitude aftershock hit Chiles far-northern
coast late Wednesday night, shaking the
same area where a magnitude-8.2 earth-
quake hit just a day before causing some
damage and six deaths.
Chiles Emergency Ofce and navy issues
a tsunami alert and ordered a precautionary
evacuation of low-lying areas on the north-
ern coast, meaning many people could be
spending another sleepless night away
from their homes.
The aftershock caused buildings to shake
and people to run out into the streets in the
port of Iquique, which was one of the cities
that saw some damage from Tuesday nights
big quake. But there were no immediate
reports of new damage or injuries from the
latest tremor, which was one of dozens that
have followed the 8.2 quake.
The aftershock was center 14 miles (23
kilometers) south of Iquique. The USGS
said the aftershock had a depth of 12 miles
(20 kilometers).
It was felt across the border in southern
Peru, where people in the cities of Tacna
and Arequipa reportedly ed buildings in
fear.
Authorities reported just six deaths from
the 8.2-magnitude quake. It was possible
others could have been killed in older struc-
tures made of adobe in remote communities
that werent immediately accessible, but it
was still a very low toll for such a powerful
shift in the undersea fault that runs along
the length of South Americas Pacic coast.
Chile is one of the worlds most seismic
countries and is particularly prone to
tsunamis, because of the way the Nazca tec-
tonic plate plunges beneath the South
American plate, pushing the towering
Andes cordillera ever higher.

Letters to the editor
Albuquerque (N.M.) Journal
I
f the Internal Revenue Service was
auditing you, and you whined that
getting all the documentation agents
wanted was too hard and would take you
years, what do you think the response
would be?
Exactly.
Yet thats the game IRS chief John
Koskinen is playing with the U.S. House
Government Oversight and Reform
Committee. Apparently, turnabout is not
fair play in IRS Land.
At issue is how the IRS handled applica-
tions for tax-exempt status by tea party and
other conservative groups, and what
Koskinen says will be millions of commu-
nications involving his agency, White
House ofcials and others.
Aleading member of the committee, Rep.
Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, told Koskinen, we
dont want the excuses anymore. Prioritize
it. Put more lawyers on the job. All means
all.
Under this flurry of paper is the fact
that the IRS has already disclosed that
agency employees flagged groups that
mentioned tea party or patriot in
their applications for nonprofit status or
were involved in limiting/expanding
Government, educating on the
Constitution and Bill of Rights, social
economic reform/movement.
Add to that the fact Lois Lerner, the for-
mer IRS ofcial at the center of the contro-
versy, has twice refused to answer
Oversight committee questions, and may
be held in contempt of Congress and turned
over to federal prosecutors.
According to IRS.gov, the agencys mis-
sion is to provide Americas taxpayers top
quality service by helping them understand
and meet their tax responsibilities and
enforce the law with integrity and fairness
to all. That mission statement makes this
stonewalling all the more unacceptable
and just as offensive as if a different party
was in the White House and a different
party was asking the questions.
Cozy transfer of funds immoral
Editor,
Your March 26 edition reported that
County Supervisor Carole Groom received
donations from both Undersheriff Carlos
Bolanos and his boss, Sheriff Greg Munks
(2014 Election Journal in the March 26
edition of the Daily Journal). District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe received $1,000
from Mr. Munks. Sheriff Munks, who is also
running unopposed, then received a $1,000
donation from who else but District Attorney
Wagstaffe.
The list includes other contributions made
by current ofce-holders to fellow county
ofcials or employees wanting to move up.
Then we read about a few bail bond business-
es contributing to Wagstaffe as well as to
Sheriff Munks. Coroner Robert Foucraft got
donations from a few mortuaries.
It appears to me that this cozy transfer of
funds should not be taking place. At some
point supervisors need to evaluate the per-
formance of these contributors, recommend
raises or approve their requests to create
additional positions or buy equipment. We
can only guess as to the motivation of mor-
tuaries and bail bond companies.
Perhaps donors and recipients could offer
an explanation. I am sure we are all open-
minded and anxious to learn.

Who is running San Mateo?
Editor,
I saw two articles regarding Draper
(Draper Universitys loose ends: San Mateo
to discuss schools outstanding obligations
in the April 1 edition of the Daily Journal
and Global entrepreneurs gather in San
Mateo in the March 25 edition of the Daily
Journal). Something to the effect that Draper
University will be bigger than Stanford.
That statement alone nullies anything else
coming out of Draper.
Secondly and more incredibly is that the
City Council voted March 17 to approve an
encroachment license and potentially waive
the $6,000 annual fee if the school resolves
its landscaping and retail requirements.
Another tail wagging the dog issue.
Seriously, bribing Draper? If the city wants
the plants and the retail spaces lled, then
allow the ber network after the requirements
are met and do not waive the $6,000. Who is
running this city?
As a homeowner in San Mateo, who do I
talk to have my building permit fees waived?

Response to Abramson
Editor,
Kudos to Scott Abramson by declaring
President Obama the coolest prez ever (in
his letter to the editor The coolest prez,
March 24 edition of the Daily Journal). To
his query in these days of international cri-
sis, is this what America really needs? the
answer is a resounding yes. Or perhaps Mr.
Abramson would prefer the foreign policy of
the former president who lead us into two
unfunded wars based on false premises, failed
to get Osama bin Laden when the opportuni-
ty arose, and left most of Europe hating us.
Mission Accomplished indeed.
Mr. Abramson, in his several letters to the
Daily Journal, has shared his dislike of
President Obama. We get it. Reasonable
minds would like to know why Mr.
Abramson does not vent his spleen toward
the do-nothing Republicans in Congress
that have spent the past ve years being
against all things of the executive branch.
The mind boggles as to how much better our
country would be if, for even a small percent-
age of the time, the Congress would work
together for the common benet. Perhaps
then they could become the coolest
Congress ever.
It is easy to be a critic, but quite another to
envision and share constructive ideas.
Unless, and until, Mr. Abramson can do the
latter, we would ask that he spare us his vitri-
ol and diatribes against the president and
keep his opinions to himself.

Understanding the crisis
Editor,
In his letter (The coolest prez ever! in
the March 24 edition of the Daily Journal),
Scott Abramson suggests that while Obama
may be the coolest prez ever, we need
somebody more focused on the crisis in
Eurasia than movies and basketball. Granted.
But does Mr. Abramson understand the cri-
sis?
What he refers to as the Russian invasion
of the Ukraine was actually a British and
U.S. invasion, or a western-funded fascist
coup against a democratically elected gov-
ernment whose crime was not wanting to
join the failed European Union. The Ukraine
was the seventh nation in line to join the
new Central Asian alliance. So the rst
action taken by this junta was to ban the
Russian language. Just what is this agenda,
Mr. Obama? What was Sen. John McCain
doing over there?
Crimea and most of the eastern part of
Ukraine have felt threatened by this violent
overthrow of their country and are not keen
on being looted by this mob. Hence, their
migration to Russia. If NATO now lines up
missiles along the Russian border, will
Russia not feel threatened, too? Unlike the
totalitarian intentions of this empire, I
think Putin has been very civil.
Our coolest prez? He backs the al-Qaida
faction in Syria and Egypt, invaded Libya
and destroyed their independent banking
system. He also makes George W. Bush look
like a peacemaker. As for his sanctions on
Russia, which only made their leaders laugh,
I say unfair! I want some too! What greater
privilege than to be placed on a persona non
grata list by the worst prez in our history?

Self-afflicted
I
am a sick, sick person. Or, more accu-
rately, I want to be and the afiction
for which I aim is that most horrible
of horrible illnesses going around so ter-
rible, in fact, it can explain away obnox-
ious and even criminal behavior. I am talk-
ing about afuenza.
Afuenza is, as of yet, not something to
be staved off by hand-washing and a pre-
ventative shot at a neighborhood clinic.
Then again, who would want to avoid com-
ing down with a solid
case of this bug?
Afuenza is generally
the idea that having an
afuent or indulgent
upbringing cant pos-
sibly understand the
consequences of their
actions and is thereby
exempt from responsi-
bility.
Alert the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention about SBD
spoiled brat disease. Symptoms include a
sense of entitlement and in some rare occa-
sions a chip on ones shoulder. The jury is
still out on the best treatment but common
home remedies for minor cases often
include a good shaking and the conscation
of all tech gadgets.
Patient Zero in this new epidemic appears
to be a 16-year-old Texas boy who received
rehab and probation rather than prison for
killing four and injuring two others in a
drunk-driving crash. Many people have
received more time for jaywalking but that
is obviously only because they knew bet-
ter. Too bad they, like this poor afuenza-
aficted boy, didnt have a judge who
bought a psychologists diagnosis of him
never learning that sometimes you dont
get your way.
Just think, being diagnosed with afuen-
za means rst you have some sort of means
which is never a bad starting point. Then
and heres the win-win because you
are assumedly so well-supported and coddled
you get a free pass in life. These are certain-
ly not benets to sneeze at. Sign me up!
Thank goodness for the new insurance
regulations under the Affordable Care Act
because afuenza obviously only works
well as a pre-existing condition. The argu-
ment that one never learned right from
wrong and the if p then q logic of how
poor behavior can have terrible impacts
doesnt work as well for those who had to
pull themselves up by the proverbial boot
straps and whose spoon at birth was more
likely silver plated.
That aside, Im still trying. I may not
have won the birth lottery and unfortunate-
ly had to slog through a childhood full of
life lessons and groundings and being told a
resounding No! more than occasionally.
But that doesnt mean I wont take a shot.
With that genius plan in mind, I need
someone to host an afuenza party so I can
rub elbows and exchange germs with the
already ill. It is successful for chicken pox,
isnt it? Maybe a Google bus will work.
Or, I can just fake it till I make it.
Millions by Mnchausen, perhaps.
I must act quick, however. The infection
window is narrowing. Last month, a
California assemblyman introduced a bill
that would ban attorneys from using
afuenza as a defense tactic or a mitigat-
ing factor at sentencing. Guess that only
leaves Twinkies and a lack of hugs to
explain away the criminal, the crazy and the
downright wrong.
Sadly, I think all the hobnobbing and
wishing wont get me a solid case of
spoiled rotten. Unlike that Texas teen, Ive
denitely learned that sometimes you dont
get your way.
But until the state Legislature weighs in
on the proposed bill, Ill keep the option
in my bag of excuses even if it is an ill-
conceived defense.

Big movers

NEWYORK Stocks closed higher
for a fourth straight day on Wednesday
after a report on hiring provided
another encouraging sign that the
economy is emerging from its winter
slump.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
closed at a record high for the eighth
time this year. The Dow Jones industri-
al average also rose above its record
closing level during trading, but fell
back and nished just short of its rst
all-time high of the year.
The stock market has turned higher
this week after moving largely side-
ways for most of the year as reports
have suggested that the economy is
strengthening after slowing down dur-
ing an unusually harsh winter. The cat-
alyst on Wednesday was a private sur-
vey that showed that U.S. companies
increased hiring at a rapid pace last
month after a strong manufacturing
survey a day earlier.
In January and February we had that
weather weakness and its now show-
ing through that ... the underlying
economy is fine, said Jerry
Braakman, chief investment ofcer of
First American Trust. Economic
expansion should continue.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
rose 5.38 points, or 0.3 percent, to
1,890.90. The Dow Jones industrial
average climbed 40.39 points, or 0.24
percent, to 16,573. Thats just short of
its record close of 16,576.66 set Dec.
31. The Nasdaq composite rose 8.52
points, or 0.2 percent, to 4,276.46.
Payroll processer ADP said private
employers added 191,000 jobs. ADP
also revised Februarys job creation up
to 153,000 from the 139,000 gure
reported earlier. The report comes
ahead of the governments monthly
report on jobs, scheduled to be
released on Friday.
Economists are forecasting that U.S.
employers added 200,000 jobs in
March, according to data provider
FactSet. That would be the most since
November last year.
In general, expectations for this
Fridays non-farms payrolls number
have clearly risen over the last two
weeks, said Gary Flam, a portfolio
manager at Bel Air Investment
Advisors.
There was more encouraging news
on manufacturing Wednesday as the
Commerce Department reported that
orders to U.S. factories rose 1.6 per-
cent in February, the most in five
months. On Tuesday, the S&P 500
gained after the Institute for Supply
Management said its manufacturing
index rose in March.
Industrial companies were among
the biggest gainers in the S&P 500
index on Wednesday. The sector has
risen 2.7 percent over the last week, as
signs have emerged that manufacturing
is strengthening, makes it the second-
best performer of the 10 industry
groups that make up the S&P 500.
After the jobs report on Friday,
investors will turn their focus to cor-
porate earnings, as companies start to
report for the rst quarter. First quarter
earnings are expected to grow by just
0.4 percent for the quarter after rising
7.8 percent in the fourth quarter,
according to S&P Capital IQ.
Expectations for the earnings in the
rst three months are low, in part due
to the weather, said Jeff Kleintop,
Chief Market Strategist for LPL
Financial. However, investors will be
looking for signs that companies are
expecting revenues to increase during
the remainder of the year.
The question is, did they start to see
a reacceleration toward the end of the
quarter, as were seeing in some of this
economic data, Kleintop said.
Government bonds fell after the ADP
report. The yield on the 10-year
Treasury note climbed to 2.80 percent
from 2.75 percent on Tuesday and is
now at its highest level since January.
In commodities trading, the price of
oil fell 12 cents, or 0.1 percent, to
$99.62 a barrel. Gold rose $10.80, or
0.9 percent, to settle at $1,290.80 an
ounce.

NEWYORK Microsoft unveiled a new
virtual assistant for Windows Phone devices
Wednesday as it seeks to gain traction in a
highly competitive and lucrative market for
smartphones.
The assistant, Cortana, is named after an
articial-intelligence character in the com-
panys Halo video games. Cortana tries to
be chatty like Apples Siri, while anticipat-
ing information you might want, like
Google Now.
Cortana is among the new features coming
to a Windows Phone update called 8.1. The
updated operating system will come with
new phones in about a month, including
three that Nokia announced Wednesday. It
will also be available as a free download for
existing phones a few months later.
Microsoft is also updating its Windows
8.1 system for tablets, laptops and desk-
tops. Although Microsoft has been pushing
touch-screen controls, the new update is
designed to make it easier for those with tra-
ditional keyboard and mouse controls. The
update, simply called Windows 8.1 Update,
is available starting next Tuesday.

NEWYORK Amazon is making a bid to
enter living rooms with Amazon Fire TV, a
new set-top box that allows streaming of
online video, music and other content to tel-
evisions.
The company says the $99 device has bet-
ter speed, performance and search functions
than other streaming boxes such as Apple
TV and Google Chromecast. But Amazon is
coming late to the streaming set-top game,
and it remains to be seen whether the com-
pany is offering enough new and better serv-
ices to lure customers away from their cur-
rent streaming methods.
Amazon created buzz about the device last
week when it sent an invitation to the media
hinting about an update to its video service.

Tesla to appeal changed
New Jersey car regulations
NEWARK, N.J. Electric-car company Tesla Motors has
led notice it intends to go to court to appeal New Jerseys
ruling that would stop it from selling its vehicles in the
state within two weeks.
The notice, led last week to the state appellate division,
seeks to overturn regulations imposed by the state Motor
Vehicle Commission that require new-car dealers to have
franchise agreements before they can be licensed.
Those regulations, proposed last fall and implemented
last month, effectively will prohibit Tesla from using its
direct-sales model. The company, based in Palo Alto,
California, has been selling cars at two locations in New
Jersey for about two years. Its electric cars retail for around
$60,000 before incentives.
Teslas ling says the Motor Vehicle Commission exceed-
ed its authority when it amended the regulations and was
under pressure from the New Jersey Coalition of Automotive
Retailers, an industry group that represents new-car dealers.
The deadline for dealers to be relicensed originally was
Tuesday but was extended to April 15.

WASHINGTON That is not how
GM does business.
With statements like that, new CEO
Mary Barra is trying to distance the
General Motors she now leads from the
overly bureaucratic company whose
inattention to its customers helped
land it in bankruptcy in 2009.
But its clear from her appearance
before Congress this week that she
faces a difcult task. Documents sub-
mitted by GM ahead of a House sub-
committee hearing Tuesday show that
cost was a major consideration when
the company declined a decade ago to
implement xes to an ignition switch
used in small cars.
That switch is now linked to 13
deaths, and Barra, less than three
months after taking over as CEO, nds
herself thrust into one of the biggest
product safety crises Detroit has ever
seen.
Since February, GM has recalled 2.6
million cars mostly Chevrolet
Cobalts and Saturn Ions over the
faulty switch, which can cause the
engine to cut off in trafc, disabling
the power steering, power brakes and
air bags and making it difcult to con-
trol the vehicle. The automaker said
new switches should be available start-
ing April 7.
At a hearing on Capitol Hill before a
House subcommittee, Barra acknowl-
edged under often testy questioning
that the company took too long to
recall cars equipped with the switch. At
a press conference after the hearing,
she said it angers me that we had a sit-
uation that took more than a decade to
correct.
Barra promised changes at GM that
would prevent such a lapse from hap-
pening again. I think we in the past
had more of a cost culture, she said,
adding that it is moving toward a more
customer-focused culture.

FREMONT What started as a battle of
southpaws came down to a pair of right-

batters to the plate in the inning. But the
Renegades (10-5 in Coast Pacific, 21-6
overall) answered right back with three runs
of their own in the bottom of the frame and
led the rest of the way.
Obviously its a game of momentum and
we gave it right back, Bulldogs manager
Doug Williams said. We didnt throw
strikes. We didnt hit. And we didnt catch
the ball. Other than that we played super.
Williams frustrations stemmed from
CSM pitchers issuing eight walks in the
game, three of which came around to score.
Meanwhile, Ohlone freshman Brady
Moore came on in the fth to shut down a
CSM rally then went on to re ve shutout
innings to close it out for the win to
improve to 5-1.
[Brady] pitched well, Williams said.
He was in the zone quite a bit. We just did-
nt show up today. We were not here phys-
ically or mentally and weve got to get
better at that. Thats my fault because we
didnt have a good enough practice yester-
day. So, were going to have to go home
and work on it.
Bulldogs freshman Conyal Cody lasted
three-plus innings, yielding four runs on
ve hits while walking four and striking out
one. The left-hander gave way to sopho-
more Skylar Fuss in the fourth. Fuss worked
four innings, turning in three scoreless
frames before issuing a leadoff walk in the
fourth which came around to give Ohlone a
valuable insurance run.
Ohlone starter Jaramy Jacobs worked
four-plus innings, giving way to the
bullpen after allowing the rst two Bulldogs
batters to reach in the fth. In the inning,
with CSM trailing 4-3, Dylan Isquirdo drew
a leadoff walk and Steve Pastora got one of

Nick Schnabel broke the Padressingle-season scoring record and helped lead the team to their
rst ever Central Coast Section championship in a 2-2 draw with Gilroy.
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Serra soccer standout Nick Schnabel said
he decided after his junior year that his sen-
ior season both the high school and club
campaigns would be his last playing
high-competition soccer.
If that is the case, he certainly nished his
soccer career with a bang.
Schnabel broke the Padres single-sea-
son, goal-scoring record and helped lead the
them to their first-ever Central Coast
Section championship, a 2-2 draw with
Gilroy.
He can now add one last accolade to his
soccer list: the Daily Journals Soccer
Player of the Year honor.
Im not looking to play soccer in col-
lege. I want to major in engineering and
thats a major commitment, Schnabel said.
Ive been playing since I was 5. Playing
club since I was 8. Its bittersweet. I look at
it like Im closing a chapter on my life. I
have things I want to try and more life I
want to experience.
If this truly was his last season of soccer,
Schnabel could not have nished it any bet-
ter. All the records and accomplishments are
nice, but what Schnabel will truly treasure
was the time spent with his team. With 15
seniors on this years squad, they grew up
together at Serra and it culminated with a
CCS Division II co-title. Schnabel recog-
nizes that nothing he accomplished this
season could have been done without his
teammates.
Weve grown so close. Being able to
play with them this last year, it was a great
way to end my high school career,
Schnabel said. Our team chemistry has
been incredible this year. I think this is the
closest knit group of guys Ive ever played
with.
Serra coach Jeff Panos is not surprised
Schnabel would credit his teammates with
helping him reach the heights not many
attain. Panos said Schnabel is one of the
Schnabels Serra legacy
SAN ANTONIO The San Antonio Spurs
continue to win big, which is enabling
them to rest players and the limited minutes
are starting to show in the revival of Tim
Duncans game.
Tony Parker had 18 points and eight
assists and Duncan had 15 points and eight
rebounds and San Antonio rolled to a 111-
90 victory over the Golden State Warriors
on Wednesday night, extending the Spurs
franchise record winning streak to 19
games.
Theyre playing amazing right now,
Golden State guard Stephen Curry said.
Thats the best in the league right now.
San Antonio (59-16) extended its league-
leading record to four games over the
Thunder (54-19) ahead of their matchup
Thursday night in Oklahoma City.
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich was able to
rest his core players with his team leading
by as many as 26 points and never trailing
after the opening three minutes.
Our minutes stayed low and its just like
Pop likes it, so well see what happens
tomorrow (against Oklahoma City),
Duncan said.
Duncan played only 20 minutes and
Parker 28. Both sat out the entire fourth
quarter.
After struggling with his outside shot for
much of the season, Duncan is regaining his
soft touch just in time for San Antonios
17th consecutive postseason appearance.
He nished 7 for 11 from the eld, includ-
ing 6-for-7 shooting in the rst half on a
series of soft jumpers, bank shots and a dunk.
The Big Dog is always a key for us,
Spurs reserve post Jeff Ayres said. We pret-
ty much go as he goes. If hes hooping like
that, it just lifts everybody up. It opens
everything up for everybody else.
Manu Ginobili and Patty Mills scored 13
points apiece, Marco Belinelli had 12 and
Parker, Duncan lead Spurs past Warriors 111-90
PHOENIX Tim Hudson was backed to
his old self with his new team.
Hudson allowed three hits while working
into the eighth inning in his rst start for
the Giants and San Francisco beat the
Arizona Diamondbacks 2-0 on Wednesday
night.
Hudson (1-0) was making his rst start
since July 24 after fracturing his right ankle
against the Mets while pitching for the
Braves. The veteran right-hander, who
signed with San Francisco as a free agent in
the offseason, had four strikeouts and no
walks, and had Arizona hitters pounding the
ball into the ground.
After a couple of month from my surgery,
I know coming back was a denite possibil-
ity, Hudson said. You get anxious but I
wouldnt call it butteries. You just anxious
to get back out there.
Hudson showed solid command of his rst
pitch and threw that first offering for
strikes.
He really attacked the zone, said catcher
Buster Posey, who went 2 for 4 night with a
run scored. Im sure he was anxious but did-
nt show it. Hes been doing this for so long
that he controls his emotional very well.
Arizona starter Trevor Cahill (0-1) held
the Giants scoreless until the fth. Angel
Pagan singled in a run in the fifth and
Michael Morse doubled in a run in the sixth
to make it 2-0.
Sergio Romo shut down the
Diamondbacks in order to record his second
save.
The Diamondbacks threatened only twice
with Hudson on the mound.
After Hudson retired the rst nine hitters,
Gerardo Parra led off the fourth with a single
to center, moved to second on a wild pitch
but was stranded when Paul Goldschmidt
struck out and Martin Prado ied to center.

San Jose City College 15, CSM 9
The Lady Bulldogs saw their remarkable
26-game winning streak snapped in drop-
ping a slugfest to SJCC. The Jaguars
pounded out 20 hits and snapped a 5-5 tie
with a three-run rally in the fifth inning.
Treasure Rodriguez was one leg short of the
cycle for SJCC, pacing all hitters with a 4-
for-5 afternoon including a doublue and
home run. Nicole Read and Krystal Rock
also homered for the Jaguars while Brooke
Ramsey went deep for the Bulldogs. In suf-

could have been scored an error, according
to Sequoia manager Cory Uhalde. Cambron
fired a two-hit shutout his third straight
complete game of the year to improve to

imum as El Caminos three baserunners
were all retired on the basepaths. With the

STANFORD Mikaela Ruef found herself
an engineering job on campus last spring
and started sporting a hard hat and safety
glasses to pay for her nal two quarters at
Stanford, knowing she no longer had a bas-
ketball scholarship as a fth-year senior.
The approximate price tag: $40,000.
Injuries to a pair of teammates opened up
one the programs 15 scholarships to Ruef
after all, and she has gone from the end of
the bench as a freshman to unlikely
Stanford Regional MVP to help lead the
Cardinal back to the Final Four after last
seasons disappointing miss.
Her voice hoarse and a backward Final
Four hat with a piece of net hanging from it
on her head, Ruef realized after Tuesday
nights win over North Carolina that its
been quite a journey from her days hugging
the water cooler as coach Tara VanDerveer
referred to her old sideline seat.
Happy is not happy enough, Ruef said.
Its more than that.
Ruefs rise to NCAA tournament star has
been a surprising one,
especially since there were
questions about whether
she would return this sea-
son. Stanford (33-3) looks
to snap defending champi-
on Connecticuts 44-game
winning streak in the
national seminals Sunday
in Nashville, Tenn.
In a win against Penn
State in the regional seminals, Ruef recov-
ered from getting poked in the eye early to
contribute 11 points, 13 rebounds, five
assists and two steals. She topped that per-
formance with a career-high 17 points in
Tuesday nights 74-65 victory over North
Carolina, knocking down three 3-pointers
after coming into the game 7 for 51 on 3s in
131 career games for the Cardinal.
It was by far her best game ever putting
on a Stanford uniform, VanDerveer said.
Mikaela downplays how much work she
put into doing what she did tonight. Shes
one of those early risers and she was in the
gym getting her shot up.
Ruef sure is taking pressure off All-
American Chiney Ogwumike, just as
VanDerveer has called for the supporting
cast to do all season.
Ruef has become, I think, a much, much
better compliment to Chiney, UConn
coach Geno Auriemma said.
Throughout the season, Ruef has been
working 16 to 20 hours a week as a project
engineer for Preston Pipelines. She was at
30 hours during the summer.
I cant explain it, but somehow every-
thing seems to work out in my favor, Ruef
said. It helped me grow as a person. I
wouldnt recognize myself as a freshman
coming in here. Im a completely different
person. I think the job gave me a sense of
responsibility. I had to schedule my days,
OK, I have to take time to get in the gym
and work on my shot, work on my game so
that I can put my team in the best position
to get back in the Final Four this year.
Ruef still felt the sting of the programs
run of ve straight Final Four appearances
being snapped by Georgia in the 2013
Spokane Regional seminals.
This time, back at home with the raucous
crowd in Maples Pavilion, Ruefs grandpar-
ents Mike and Jean Mullin got to
watch her shine on the big stage. Theyre
the ones who bought Ruef her rst basket-
ball at age 5 and pushed her to watch
UConn. They moved back to California
when she was a high school junior and
changed the tune to Stanford.
Im so happy I was able to play in front
of them for ve years, she said. I wouldnt
have picked up the game if it wasnt for my
grandma.
Ruef impressed her coaches with her
commitment to returning for one last
chance at a Final Four, even if it meant
paying her own way.
We knew we didnt have a scholarship
and she knew it, too, associate coach Amy
Tucker said. She was working that summer
and knew she was going to come back and
have to pay for it for two quarters. Thats
just the way it was going to be because she
really wanted to come back. For someone
who started on the 15th seat on the bench to
now value the experience so much she want-
ed to pay for it, theres not a better story of
the kid who loves our experience.

most humble people you will meet, but
dont mistake his humbleness for weakness.
Put a soccer ball at Schnabels feet and he
becomes as deadly as an assassin.
Hes the complete package: humble,
technically and tactically gifted, Panos
said. As soon as he was able to receive (the
ball) and turn, there was no one on the eld
who could contain him. His rst touch was
just about better than anyone.
He sees the eld before it unfolds. Thats
the remarkable thing. Hes like a chess mas-
ter always thinking two steps ahead. He
has the technical ability with his feet and
the speed to do it that makes him impossi-
ble to defend. Thats what separates him
from most strikers.
The other thing that separates Schnabel
from others is just the sheer volume of balls
he puts in the back of the net. The previous
Serra record was 17 goals in one season.
Schnabel eclipsed that mark about halfway
through the season on his way to 30 goals
in 23 games.
Not that it was much of a surprise to
Panos. After a breakout year on the fresh-
man squad, Schnabel has spent the last three
seasons on varsity. Panos knew that once
Schnabel matured, he would be lethal.
We knew (he was going to be good),
Panos said. As a freshman, he scored, like,
22 goals. We knew we had something spe-
cial.
Panos said Schnabel spent his sophomore
and junior seasons adjusting to the physical
nature of the West Catholic Athletic League
and learning to be a leader. This year as team
captain, everything came together.
This year, he really felt like it was his
team, Panos said. Last year, I dont think
he felt like it was his place to speak up.
And when the pressure was on, it seemed
Schnabel took his game to another level.
In three CCS playoffs games, Schnabel
scored four goals each time with the
Padres trailing. In quarternals, the Padres
were down 2-1 to Willow Glen when they
earned a penalty kick which Schnabel
missed.
He more than made up for it, however, by
scoring twice during a six-minute span to
tie the game then to give Serra the lead in
what would eventually be a 4-2 Padres vic-
tory.
After I missed the penalty, I was pretty
frustrated, Schnabel said. But I knew we
would have other opportunities.
If we would have lost that game, I would
haven beaten myself up.
Schnabel was held scoreless in a 3-1
seminal win over Leigh, but bounced back
with another two-goal effort against Gilroy
in the CCS championship game. After
struggling through much of the game being
defended by a player who was head and
shoulders taller than him, Panos moved him
out to the ank and it paid off almost imme-
diately. Trailing 1-0 with about ve minutes
to play, Schnabel beat a pair of defenders to
tie the game. He gave the Padres a 2-1 lead
on another brilliant goal in the rst over-
time, only to see the Mustangs get the
equalizer minutes later.
Despite having to settle for a co-champi-
onship, Schnabels senior season really
could not have gone any better.
My personal goals are tied to team
goals. The goal is never to set records,
Schnabel said. At the beginning of the
year, we were looking to hang a (CCS) ban-
ner. Its just amazing to play our very last
game and not lose.
SCHNABEL
his three hits on the day to give the
Bulldogs runners at rst and second with no
outs. But Brady emerged from the pen to
retire the next three CSM batters in order to
disallow the base runners from advancing.
Hes done that all year long, Ohlone
manager Mike Curran said. Hes got a good
relievers mentality. A reliever has got to
come in and has got to pound the zone. At
this level, if you pound the zone, guys are
going to get themselves out. And he did a
really good job of that [Wednesday].
Brady wrestled the tempo of the game
away from a lethargic CSM pitching
approach. Early in the game, with runners
on base, Cody brought the tempo of the
game to a grinding halt. But Brady hit the
mound running the fth, recording three
outs on six pitches and went into all-out
attack mode to pick up the pace of the game
in a hurry.
Thats really what we teach these guys is
we want them to get on the mound, get the
sign and lets go, Curran said. We want to
control the tempo. We want guys to get after
it. We want them to attack batters.
Ohlone got on the board with an unearned
run in the second. Josh Egan reached on a
leadoff infield single when CSM second
baseman Dane Vande Guchte couldnt get a
handle on a tricky bounder over the middle.
After a one-out walk to Justin Chase to
move Egan to second, Isaiah Bond shot a
would-be double-play ball to second that
went through the legs of Vande Guchte and
into center to allow Egan to score, giving
the Renegades a 1-0 lead.
In the third, the Bulldogs sent nine bat-
ters to the plate. Kailen Robinson drew a
leadoff walk then moved to second on a sac-
rifice bunt by Vande Guchte. Miles
Mastrobuoni followed with a line drive sin-
gle to right to move Robinson to third.
Isquirdo followed with a safety squeeze to
plate Robinson with the tying run. But they
didnt stop there. Pastora followed with an
RBI single to center to score Mastrobuoni
with the go-ahead run. After a walk to
Makana Lyman and a hit batsman by Tyler
Carlson, Austin Lonestar drew a bases-
loaded walk to score Pastora, giving CSM a
3-1 lead.
The small-ball attack continues to be an
integral part of the Bulldogs game.
Its an everyday thing, Isquido said.
We work on small ball every day. So, its
kind of like second nature to us to get the
ball down when we need to. When its called
upon, anybody in our lineup can get it
done.
As the Bulldogs catcher, Isquirdo may
seem like an unconventional choice as a
No. 2 hitter. But the freshman actually hit in
the two-hole for three seasons at Foothill
High. And since he started hitting in the No.
2 spot for CSM March 22 against Cabrillo,
Isquirdo has reached base seven times in
four games.
[Williams] came up to me and asked me,
how do I feel about the two-hole? And I was
like Im there, Isquido said.
With the win, third-place Ohlone remains
in the thick of the Coast Pacic Conference
race, a game back of rst-place Cabrillo and
a half game behind second-place Caada.
The Renegades are ranked No. 5 among
California Community College teams and at
21-6 have the second best overall record in
Northern California. In the Coast Golden
Gate race, CSM falls three games back of
rst-place Chabot and one game behind sec-
ond-place Mission.

OAKLAND Michael Brantley atoned
for a rare error by hitting a two-run sungle
in the ninth inning off new Oakland closer
Jim Johnson that helped the Cleveland
Indians salvage a split of a day-night dou-
bleheader with a 6-4 win over the Athletics
in the nightcap Wednesday.
Scott Kazmir (1-0) pitched 7 1-3 score-
less innings against his former team in his
Oakland debut to help the As win the open-
er 6-1. They appeared to be on their way to
a sweep when they took a 4-3 lead into the
ninth with help from Brantleys dropped y
ball.
But Johnson allowed back-to-back sin-
gles to Ryan Raburn and Nick Swisher to
open the inning. After a one-out walk to
Carlos Santana loaded the bases, Brantley
grounded a single to right eld to give the
Indians the lead.
David Murphy added a sacrice y to end
Johnsons night to a chorus of boos.
Johnson also allowed two runs in the ninth
inning to take the loss on opening night
and is 0-7 with a 7.94 ERA in 17 games
against the Indians. More
importantly for As fans
he has lost twice since
taking over from Grant
Balfour as closer.
Cody Allen (2-0)
pitched a scoreless
eighth for the win and
John Axford got three
outs for his second save.
The As had taken the
lead when Brantley dropped a y ball in left-
center that allowed Josh Donaldson to reach
second and ended a club-record streak of 247
games in the outfield without an error.
Donaldson advanced on a wild pitch by
Bryan Shaw and scored on Moss single that
made it 4-3.
Mike Aviles added a two-run homer for the
Indians, who now head back for their home
opener Friday against Minnesota.
The teams played the earliest doublehead-
er in baseball history following the rst
rainout in Oakland since May 5, 1998, on
Tuesday night. The previous earliest dou-
bleheader came on April 7 in 1971, 74 and
96, according to STATS.
Kazmir started the day off on the right
note for Oakland. He signed a $22 million,
two-year contract in the offseason to
replace All-Star Bartolo Colon in the rota-
tion. Kazmirs importance in the rotation
only grew when projected opening day
starter Jarrod Parker was lost to a season-
ending elbow injury and starter A.J. Grifn
opened the season on the disabled list.
You always want to make that good rst
impression and thats what he did, catcher
Derek Norris said. If he had any type of
pressure on his shoulders to do something
good I think thats pretty much eliminated.
Alberto Callaspo hit a two-run homer for
the Athletics, who broke out offensively
after being shut out Monday in their big
league record 10th straight opening loss.
But behind a strong performance from
Kazmir, the As followed an opening day
defeat with a victory for the seventh time in
those 10 years. Kazmir allowed just three
hits and no walks in 7 1-3 scoreless
innings, striking out ve.
Corey Kluber (0-1) failed to make it out of
the fourth inning and lost for the rst time
in 13 starts since June 27. He gave up ve
runs and eight hits in 3 1-3 innings. He was
hurt by a nearly ve-minute replay delay in
the second inning.
The disputed play came with runners on
first and third and one out when Josh
Donaldson hit a grounder to third. Carlos
Santana threw home and umpire Mark
Wegner ruled that Gomes tagged Derek
Norris before he touched home.
As manager Bob Melvin challenged the
call but the ruling stood after a review of
about 4 minutes, 45 seconds, because there
was no conclusive evidence to overturn it.
Kluber got to throw some warmup pitches
after the delay but allowed an RBI single to
Lowrie to fall behind 3-0.
By that point it was apparent I was
searching and I dont think that had any-
thing to do with it, Kluber said. That
being said, I thought it took way too long.
It took away from the ow of the game and
thats what they are trying to avoid.
Brantleys previous error came on June 3,
2012, against Minnesota. ... The Indians
won a replay challenge in the second game
when replay showed Nick Punto missed the
tag on Aviles on a steal attempt of second
base. Cleveland failed to score after the
challenge that too about 1:19.

Kawhi Leonard 11.
San Antonio swept the four-
game season series against Golden
State and has won 31 straight at
home against the Warriors, the
Spurs longest active winning
streak against any team.
Klay Thompson nished with 15
points and Stephen Curry 11 for
Golden State, which was playing
on the second night of back-to-
back games.
The Splash Brothers struggled
offensively, especially in the rst
half against San Antonios perpet-
ual motion.
Just the way they move the
ball, Curry said. It seems like
theyre always on the attack. They
force you to make decisions on
both ends of the oor.
Marreese Speights scored 22
points and fellow reserve Jordan
Crawford added 16 points for
Golden State.
With the Warriors missing
Andrew Bogut, David Lee and
Festus Ezeli, Speights provided
the team with a needed boost
inside. He was 10 for 16 from eld
and had nine rebounds in 30 min-
utes.
Coach keeps giving me a
chance, and Im just trying to
make the best out of it, Speights
said. Coach is a good coach and
he nds guys and gets the best out
of them.
Popovich found a way to do the
same after screaming for a timeout
69 seconds into the game after a
turnover and missed 21-foot
jumper by Duncan put San Antonio
in a 4-0 hole.
San Antonio responded to their
coachs directions with a 14-2 run
as Parker and Duncan essentially
turned the teams uid ball move-
ment into a two-man game.
Duncan made his next four
attempts on a tip follow, dunk,
reverse layup and baby hook.
Parker assisted on two of Duncans
baskets and made a 3-foot jumper,
two free throws and nished with a
layup and a 14-6 lead with 6:46
remaining.
We didnt get off to a quick
start, Duncan said. For the rst
couple of minutes we were kind of
sputtering out of there, but we got
some shots to go. (We got) some
stops to go and kind of got our-
selves a lead there.
After shooting a combined 5 for
13 in opening half, the Splash
Brothers found their range in the
third quarter to rally Golden State.
They opened the quarter shoot-
ing 4 for 6, with Thompson hit-
ting a pair of 3-pointers and Curry
adding his only one of the game.
Thompsons second 3-pointer
pulled Golden State within 71-61
with 6:23 remaining in the third.
Speights hit a pair of free throws
to cut the lead to 74-67 with 4:30
remaining.
San Antonio responded as it has
throughout its winning streak,
using player and ball movement to
close the quarter on a 16-6 run fol-
lowing Thompsons 3.
Theyre pros, Popovich said.
They just kept playing. They
tried to be solid. Theres going to
be runs in a 48-minute NBAgame.
With all the possessions, youre
not going usually keep a lead like
that. (Warriors) made a run and we
responded well.

If plants could squeal like hungry pigs, we
gardeners would pay more attention to their
fertilizer needs.
But plants do tell us when they are hungry
with poor or distorted growth and with
leaf discolorations. Why wait for your
plants to become so desperate? Test your
soil every few years.
Testing can be done by you or by a private
or state laboratory, and there are options in
what to test for. At the least, test the acidity
(pH), because if it is unsuitable, plants can-
not absorb certain nutrients, even if those
nutrients are present.
Most plants like a slightly acidic soil,
with a pH about 6.5. Astandard test checks
levels of the so-called macronutrients
phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magne-
sium and sulfur. Acomplete checkup would
also include testing for micronutrients,
such as iron, manganese and zinc, which
are essential but required in only minute
quantities.
SAMPLING IS MOST IMPORTANT
The accuracy of any soil test depends on
how you take the sample. In even a modest-
size garden of 100 square feet, one cup of
soil the amount used for the test rep-
resents only 0.001 percent of the top 6
inches of soil, so that sample must be as
representative as possible of the whole
area to be tested.
The test area should be relatively uni-
form. Areas devoted to very different kinds
of plants vegetables versus lawn, for
example require separate samples.
Vegetable and ower gardens can be sam-
pled together.
Subdivide the area where obvious differ-
ences in topography or soil exist, and stay
away from walls, sites of old compost
piles, etc. Even out small differences over
even relatively uniform soil by taking a
half-dozen samples from random spots.
Sample the top 6 inches of vegetable and
ower beds, and the top 2 inches of lawns,
rst removing any surface debris such as
compost, weeds or sod.
Whoa dont use that rst trowelful of
soil. Its cone-shaped, with a greater pro-
portion of soil from the surface layers than
from lower down. Take a slice, uniformly
thick from top to bottom, from along the
edge of that hole you just made.
Alternatively, use a soil sampling tube,
home-made or bought, to get a uniform
sample.
Combine all your samples from a test
area into a clean plastic bucket.
Thoroughly mix the composited soil to
average out differences between samples,
crumbling it and discarding stones, sticks,
insects and other debris as you mix. Spread
the soil out on a clean baking pan to air dry
for a day, then remove about a cup for test-
i ng.
RESULTS COME IN
If you are sending your sample out for
testing, follow any instructions supplied
by the laboratory about packing the soil.
For testing at home, use a portion of that 1
cup subsample you got from the combined
samples. Home testing kits involve mixing
small amounts of your soil sample with var-
ious solutions and noting color changes,
which you compare against standards all
detailed in the included instructions.
If you are testing more than one area,
label samples from each area and make a
note to yourself of the locations. Atesting
laboratory may also want other informa-
tion, such as past fertilization history, as
well as what you intend to grow. Indicate
whether you wish any special tests, such as
for micronutrients or toxic elements (such
as lead) in the soil.
Your completed soil test will give you
information about your soils organic mat-
ter, texture (clay, sand, etc.), acidity and
levels of specic nutrients, along with a
recommendation for fertilizer and lime.
Fertilizer recommendations are based on
what is in the soil and what kinds of plants
you intend to grow. Follow fertilizer recom-
mendations closely, because too much can
be as harmful as too little, causing nutrient
imbalances, even death, of plants.
Keep in mind that a soil test determines
fertility and acidity, but does not address
such problems as waterlogging, pests or
insufcient sunlight. An observant eye over
coming months is a necessary adjunct to
soil testing. Theres truth in the old saying
that the best fertilizer is the gardeners

NEWYORK Many people have a bon-
sai story: a rst bonsai, a struggling bon-
sai. And many of these stories do not end
happily, at least for the bonsai.
But the very best bonsai stories are about
passion and beauty and transformation.
A dewdrop hanging for a split-second
that is bonsai, said Julian Velasco, the
curator of the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens
bonsai collection and C.V. Starr Bonsai
Museum. Its very Zen-like. Its awesome.
For Velasco, who nurtures over 350 bon-
sai trees at the botanic garden one of the
largest and oldest bonsai collections on
public display outside Japan it all started
with a bonsai he purchased as a young man
at a street fair in San Francisco.
Pretty quickly ... I knew it would be a
lifelong path, he said.
Bonsai is horticulture, art, philosophy
and even a way of life in the form of a single
tree, lovingly pruned and trained to exist in
a small pot so that it reects the majesty of
the natural environment, he explained.
When you see the Grand Canyon or
Yosemite, you are taking in the emotion of
the place as much as the visual image, and
bonsai is about that emotion, he said. It is
the haiku of the tree world.
Luckily for beginners, who have not yet
attained a level of oneness with their new
bonsai, learning to nurture a bonsai has
never been easier. Expert help, once found
only in Japan or China, is now more readily
available at bonsai clubs and shops around
the world. The American Bonsai Society
lists bonsai clubs across the United States
and Canada, and Bonsai Clubs International
lists clubs worldwide.
Most U.S. states now have at least a cou-
ple of bonsai societies, and interest seems
to be growing, said David Bogan of
Evansville, Indiana, who is on the board of
the American Bonsai Society.
About 30 years ago a friend brought a
bonsai for me from Hawaii, and Ive been
hooked ever since. Now my wife and I have
hundreds of bonsai, he said. Bonsai are a
long-term commitment, though, and most
take at least a decade to create. Some can
hardly go a day without some kind of care.
Its almost like having a pet.
Bonsai, Japanese for planted in a tray,
originated in China in around 200 A.D., and
the art spread several hundred years later to
Japan. The art of bonsai was introduced to
the U.S. in the late 19th and early 20th cen-
turies, and at least one of the Brooklyn
Botanic Garden bonsais is over 200 years
old.
Although Velasco said the ultimate goal is
to open your heart to the tree, he has a few
more practical tips for novices.
The rst is to choose a variety of tree suit-
ed to your environment. Bonsai are trees or
shrubs, and most varieties should be grown
outside, where they require a period of dor-
mancy in winter.
For most people, however, who want to
grow their bonsai indoors or keep them out-
doors only in warmer months, tropical vari-
eties like the cus or Australian brush cher-
ry, with its interesting ower and bark, are
good choices. Both are sturdy enough to
endure a few beginners mistakes, do well

indoors and can be kept outside so long as
temperatures are above 60 degrees.
Another good option, particularly for
people with access to an outdoor growing
space, is Chinese elm, which is adaptable
and can also be grown indoors.
The next step along the continuum of har-
diness is junipers, particularly Chinese and
procumbens varieties. Small varieties of
azaleas, which are sturdy with nice leaves
and owers, are also popular among bonsai
enthusiasts, Velasco said.
Outdoor bonsai are delicate, however, and
need to be protected once temperatures reach
20 degrees and colder.
Most people will bury just the pot part of
the bonsai in soil and mulch up against a
house or fence to protect it from drying
winds. Burying the pot evens out the tem-
perature for the roots so there are no sudden
drops or super hard freezes, Velasco said.
Another strategy is burying just the pot
part of the bonsai under a bench in the win-
ter, and covering the bench with some clear
plastic.
In addition to selecting the right variety,
beginners need to understand bonsai stress
and watering, Velasco said.
Alot of times people bring home a bon-
sai and it drops its leaves and looks unwell.
Its just stressed out. It needs time to adjust,
and a little patience, he explained.
Monitor the water very carefully.
Without leaves it wont need as much water.
Hold off on water until the soil dries out.
And little by little, when you hold off on
water, buds will start to appear. And as that
starts to happen, the need for water will
start to increase.
Many bonsai growers keep the tip of a
chopstick deep in the soil toward the back
of the pot as a moisture gauge.
If the chopstick is moist you dont need
to water. But you never want the roots in the
pot to get completely dry. Water it only
when its almost dry, Velasco said.
Water from the top down and make sure
the water drains out the bottom of the pot.
As for pruning, allow the tree to grow ve
to seven leaves before pruning it back by
about two leaves of the new growth, Velasco
said.
Only prune whats actively growing.
Trees need to grow to be happy and
healthy, he said.
If youre on top of your game, the tree
will repay you by being healthy and beauti-
ful. Just try to appreciate what the bonsai is
trying to express to you.

shadow. If you are sending your sample out
for testing, follow any instructions sup-
plied by the laboratory about packing the
soil. If you are testing more than one area,
label samples from each area and make a
note to yourself of the locations. Equally
important is to supply the laboratory with
any information requested about past fertil-
ization history, as well as what you intend
to grow. Indicate whether you wish any spe-
cial tests, such as for micronutrients or
toxic elements (such as lead) in the soil.
When your soil test is complete, you will
receive information about your soils

Grass isnt always the best groundcovers
for a yard: Its thirsty at a time when water is
becoming scarce; it attracts fewer pollina-
tors; it requires expensive chemicals to
maintain, and it must be disposed of if you
bag as you mow.
Thats why many property owners are
downsizing their lawns or simply eliminat-
ing turf grass in exchange for something
more functional and less demanding.
Were recommending ecosystem changes
provided by a more productive landscape,
instead of a monoculture from grass, says
Susan Barton, an extension horticulturist
with the University of Delaware. A lawn
should not be a default vegetation, but it
should be more purposeful. More diverse.
She suggests four alternatives to turf
grass: landscape beds, meadows, woods and
paved, permeable hardscapes.
All of these provide more ecologic serv-
ice, she says. Were talking clean water.
More habitat for insects. More oxygen
taken in and less carbon dioxide given off.
Barton helped get a county landscape ordi-
nance passed a decade or so ago allowing
managed meadows to replace grass in resi-
dential front yards. These no-mow areas l-
ter water, encourage the return of native
plants that provide food and cover for
wildlife, and still have curb appeal.
Amanaged meadow isnt simply a matter
of letting your grass grow long, she says.
It means mowing paths through it and
adding edges where needed. If people think
about it and make it look good, theres no
reason why it shouldnt be part of subur-
bia.
Downsizing or replacing turf isnt simple
or cheap, but it can be done in stages. Start
with your toughest-to-grow or hardest-to-
mow sections.
Use the 80-20 plan where 20 percent of
your area requires 80 percent of your mainte-
nance, says Evelyn Hadden, a founding
member of the Lawn Reform Coalition and
author of Beautiful No-Mow Yards (Timber
Press, 2012).
Hillsides are a good example, Hadden
says. The steeper they are, the more dif-
cult they are to mow. Replaced with the
proper plants, they can moderate (water)
runoff.
Other replaceable options include boule-
vards, driveways and pockets overgrown by
weeds or moss.
Look rst at areas where the grass is
already suffering that strip along the
street thats hard to water or trampled by
people getting off the bus, says Pam
Penick, a garden designer from Austin,
Texas, and author of Lawn Gone!: Low-
Maintenance, Sustainable, Attractive
Alternatives for Your Yard (Ten Speed Press,
2013).

The citys original suit disagreed
with the money being labeled uncom-
mitted funds and argued it had an obli-
gation to both the community and
nonprot to use the money for its orig-
inal intended purpose.
The citys now-defunct redevelop-
ment agency had accumulated funds
above and beyond the mandated 20
percent for low- and moderate-income
level housing. But when the state dis-
mantled each of its redevelopment
agencies in 2011, Redwood City was
told to turn over all the tax increment
revenue including the money
exceeding the 20 percent set aside
to the county controller.
The city and Legal Aid Society of
San Mateo County last year took the
state to court to keep it from reclaim-
ing the $10.2 million but in January,
Judge Allen Sumner ruled in favor of
the state Department of Finance.
A specic ling date with the Third
Appellate District in Sacramento is
not set, said city spokeswoman Sheri
Costa-Batis, but the Legal Aid Society
is expected to join the city in the
appeal.
In appealing, the city hopes a high-
er court understands that the funds were
committed to affordable housing as a
whole but could not be earmarked for
specic projects until reaching a high
dollar amount.
What we feel the court did not fully
understand is that affordable housing
funds cannot be spent in increments. A
city must amass a large amount of dol-
lars in order to effect change and ear-
mark funds for specific projects,
Mayor Jeff Gee said in a prepared state-
ment.
The city planned to use the money to
develop sites on Bradford and Heller
streets which it absorbed as the rede-
velopment agencys housing succes-
sor agency. The money was also to
help with development of other afford-
able housing projects.
Redwood City ofcials say the court
case has the potential of impacting
not only the $10.2 million in question
but the fate of other cities grappling
with affordable housing funds.
Gee said if the court decision stands
it will have a ripple effect on any
city in the midst of raising enough
funds to build specic projects allow-
ing people of all incomes to live
together in the same community.

MONEY
of the pipeline that eventually rup-
tured, sparked a reball and leveled 38
homes in San Bruno.
In an ofcial statement from PG&E,
Chairman and CEO Tony Earley called
the incident a tragic accident.
Weve taken accountability and are
deeply sorry, he said. We have
worked hard to do the right thing for
victims, their families and the commu-
nity and we will continue to do so. We
want all of our customers and their fam-
ilies to know that nothing will distract
us from our mission of transforming
this 100-plus-year-old system into the
safest and most reliable natural gas
system in the country.
The statement added PG&E believes
that its employees did not intentional-
ly violate the federal Pipeline Safety
Act, and that even where mistakes were
made, employees were acting in good
faith to provide customers with safe,
reliable and affordable energy. The
company has committed to spend $2.7
billion of shareholder money to fund
safety-related work, according to the
statement.
Still, Ruane is not satised with the
response.
All we want is a safe utility moving
forward, he said. Their smug attitude
going forward has to change. You
have the expectation that when you go
home and put dinner on the stove, it
should be safe.
He added that PG&Es misconduct
was criminal. The company deliberate-
ly misdirected money designated for
pipeline safety to executive salaries
and that is how this tragedy occurred,
he said. The California Public Utilities
Commission is also guilty for failing
to regulate PG&E properly. Ruane said.

ing to court documents. He is being
held on a no-bail status at the San
Mateo County Jail.
It was about 12:30 p.m. on
Monday, March 17 when a 66-year-
old woman returned home from the
grocery store to find the suspect
alone in her house, according to the
San Mateo County District
Attorneys office.
The woman, who did not know her
attacker, confronted the suspect, who
prosecutors say then attacked her,
using a Taser multiple times in her
neck, face and arms to subdue her.
Court documents reveal that the sus-
pect allegedly bound the womans
wrists and ankles, gagged her with a
sock, stuck a bag over her head and
forced her into a closet, where she
remained for the entire night.
During the violent attack, prosecu-
tors allege Munguia-Hernandez bran-
dished a handgun and threatened the
victim, stating that he would kill the
victim and her family and torch the
home if she reported the incident to
police.
While the woman was held in the
closet, the suspect allegedly went in
and out of the home several times,
each time taking with him stolen
goods, including a television, wallet
and jewelry, according to prosecu-
tors. He allegedly used her ATM card
four times, and it was a surveillance
photo taken in one of those incidents
that eventually led to his arrest.
On March 18, Munguia-Hernandez
allegedly forced the woman to
remove her clothing and shower to
remove the tape marks from her face,
according to the District Attorneys
Office.
Once the man was gone, the victim
broke free and called police.
Police circulated the surveillance
photo captured at a local Bank of
America ATM to the public and were
contacted with 340 solid leads,
Norris said.
The leads helped us put together
some good details and based on fur-
ther investigation and surveillance
with plain-clothes officers and
unmarked cars, we knew we had the
right person, Norris said.
At 4:30 p.m. Thursday, police
arrested Munguia-Hernandez at his
Redwood City home. Asearch warrant
of the home seized significant evi-
dence tying him to the crime, Norris
said.
Police believe the isolated incident
started as a typical burglary, in which
the suspect knocked on the door to
determine if anyone was home.
Unlocked perimeter gates and doors
then allowed the suspect access into
the home, Norris said.
The suspect chose the house total-
ly at random, Norris said. The
woman interrupted a residential bur-
glary and he decided to escalate it.
Munguia-Hernandez is scheduled to
appear Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. for his
initial felony arraignment.
