Apartment rates in San Mateo County
continue to rise, as the county tied with
Marin and San Francisco counties for the
top three most expensive out of 3,144 other
counties in the United States to live in, with
renters needing to make $29.83 per hour to
afford one-bedroom housing, according to
the National Low Income Housing
Coalition.
The average rent for an apartment in the
first quarter of 2014 was $2,360. The
average one-bedroom, one-bathroom
apartment was $2,136. The average occu-
pancy rate was 93.9 percent, up 0.3 per-
cent from the same time last year, accord-
ing to RealFacts, a group that compiles
apartment data. Minimum wage in San
Mateo County is $8 per hour.
Development is growing along the
Peninsula, said Nick Grotjahn, sales and
client services representative for RealFacts.
Were seeing a lot of growth, Grotjahn
said. People are starting to build proper-
ties in San Mateo because rents are out of
reach in San Francisco and Silicon Valley.
Whenever builders see an opportunity
where theres quite a bit of demand, the out-
lying areas are going to grow as well.
Meanwhile, Sally Navarro, a rental, sales
and property management Realtor for AVR
Realty in Burlingame, said the market has
been crazy and ever changing in the last
eight months. Navarro helps rent out
spaces from Daly City to Menlo Park.

As commercial shermen threw out
their lines at the stroke of midnight
with hopes of reeling in the rst of
this years salmon Thursday, unfavor-
able drought conditions and Pillar
Point Harbor politics have some wor-
ried about the years ahead.
Jake Bunch, a marine biologist,
commercial sherman and captain of
the Sadie K, is fairly new in the shing
industry. Bunch said he decided to take
to the seas in 2012 and now brings
home fresh salmon and crab to sell off
his boat at Pillar Point Harbor in Half
Moon Bay.
The local movement now is huge,
so people are willing to pay for stuff
thats harvested locally which is great
for us, Bunch said. What I try to do is
sell everything I can off the boat. I
did about half of my total revenue of
off-the-boat sales last year.
Commercial season began
Thursday and runs through Aug. 29
with a two-week break in the begin-
ning of July. Yet statewide drought
conditions, conservation effort s,
local fish buying fees and tension
over a new hoist at Johnson Pier
have some fishermen worried.
Recreational shermen have already
caught bright red beauties, fat on
healthy krill, said Dave Mallory, sh
buyer and owner of Morning Star
Fisheries.
Theres always hope and expecta-
tion in the beginning of salmon sea-
son, Mallory said. And now people
are ready for their omega 3 wild
salmon. Of course most of them dont
know it, but theyve been used to eat-
ing farm fish over the winter.
Salmon has gone up quite a bit in price

Thieves take everything
even the kitchen sink
WICHITA, Kan. Everything has
been stolen including the kitchen
sink from the kitchen of a model
house in Kansas.
Police say thieves stripped the
kitchen of the Clayton Homes unit in
south Wichita, taking all the upscale
appliances, the wooden cabinets from
the walls and, of course, the sink.
General manager Kevin McCracken
says the model unit was nearly ready
for display when the theft occurred,
sometime between 9 p.m. Sunday and
8 a.m. Monday.
KWCH-TV reports that the missing
appliances, cabinets, counters and
sink, along with the cost of repairing
the damage, amounts to a loss of sev-
eral thousand dollars.
Golf coach accused of
trying to have teens killed
LIVERMORE Prosecutors say a
San Francisco Bay Area golf coach
accused of molesting three boys tried
to hire a hit man to have them killed.
The Alameda County District
Attorneys Ofce has charged 32-year-
old Andrew Michael Nisbet with three
counts of solicitation of murder.
Nisbet already was facing dozens of
molestation charges.
Prosecutors say the Livermore golf
coach exchanged letters with a con-
dential informant in which he indicat-
ed he wanted the victims killed and dis-
cussed the price. They say he later met
with an undercover agent posing as a
hit man to discuss the killings.
Police arrest two in
wrong car color killing
SAN JOSE San Jose police say
they have arrested two people in the
shooting death of a man relatives say
was targeted for driving the wrong-
colored car in a gang-plagued neigh-
borhood.
Twenty-one-year-old Richard James
Guerrero was arrested on suspicion of
murder and 20-year-old David Ramiro
Martinez was arrested on suspicion of
being an accessory to the murder.
Eric Mendoza was gunned down
April 3 in East San Jose. Family mem-
bers say the 25-year-old was driving a
red car in a neighborhood where the
Sureno street gang is active. The gang
claims the color blue and clashes with
its red-bearing Norteno rivals.
State investigates
colony of big-headed ants
COSTA MESA State agricultural
inspectors have identied a colony of
big-headed ants an invasive species
in a Costa Mesa yard and are search-
ing for other colonies in the area.
The Orange County Register reports
Wednesday that the ants previously
were found in plant and ower ship-
ments. This is the rst time theyve
been discovered living naturally in
California.
The ants which do indeed have
bulbous heads are native to Africa.
Their bite is harmless to humans.
However, state ofcials say the ants
arent native and could impact the
local ecosystem if they spread.
Colorado eyes edibles
rules as more people eat pot
DENVER Colorados marijuana
experiment is threatened by the popu-
larity of eating it instead of smoking
it, leading the pot industry to join
health ofcials and state regulators to
try to curb the problem of consumers
ingesting too much weed.
A task force thats meeting
Wednesday planned to start work on
rening Colorados rules on edibles,
the industry term for marijuana that
has been concentrated and infused into
food or drink.
Basically, we are trying to gure
out how to come up with a reasonable
THC concentration or amount in edi-
bles in proportion to product safety
size, said Dr. George Sam Wang of
Childrens Hospital Colorado, a pedi-
atric emergency physician who has
treated children and toddlers who fell
ill after eating marijuana.

Residents warned
again about phone scams
Residents are once again being warned to
be aware of fraudulent phone calls from peo-

County Sheriffs Ofce, a sheriffs spokes-
woman said Wednesday.
In late March, Sheriffs spokeswoman
Deputy Rebecca Rosenblatt circulated an
alert warning residents to not offer money
to pay off any phony jury duty fees for fail-
ing to appear.
She said Wednesday that the department
continues to receive calls from people who
are unsure if the calls are real or a scam.
Sheriffs ofcials want residents to know
that no law enforcement agency would con-
tact a member of the public and demand that
they pay outstanding fees or nes or be
arrested for failing to do so, Rosenblatt
said.
Residents should be vigilant and never
offer any private information over the
phone, including Social Security numbers
or credit card information, unless they
themselves initiated the phone call.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Less than a month after state mental
hospital staff declared a longtime psy-
chiatric patient t to stand trial for
allegedly raping a fellow county hos-
pital resident he is on his way back to
the locked facility.
Since his return to San Mateo
County in early April, Ronald Sunwo
OBrien, 31, has refused to come to
court to hear if his defense attorney
planned on challenging Atascadero
State Hospitals conclusion he is men-
tally competent. On Wednesday, he
was again absent after being not t
for court and Judge Cliff Cretan
declared OBrien again incompetent
based on a local doc-
tors report, District
Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe said.
OBrien was
ordered back to
Atascadero.
OBrien has
bounced in and out
of mental facilities
after prior arrests
and twice not count-
ing this latest order following his
arrest for the alleged March 30, 2010,
sexual assault at the countys public
hospital. Sometime in the early hours,
he allegedly entered the hospital room
of a 23-year-old female patient, held
her down on the bed with a hand over
her mouth and sexually assaulted her
multiple times. Minutes later, OBrien
allegedly returned with a piece of paper
on which hed drawn a pair of lips with
a nger over them to essentially tell
her to stay quiet. The following morn-
ing, the woman reported the alleged
assault and police were contacted.
The following month, OBrien was
also charged with punching a correc-
tional ofcer in the head for trying to
take away his meal tray because he was
smashing food into the cell oor.
OBriens alleged attack at the San
Mateo Medical Center prompted its
own internal investigation and safety
recommendations.

A terminal cancer patient who set a
re in his county hospital room and
threatened a nurse with a knife before a
two-hour standoff with police last year
will be evaluated in prison for 30 days
before a judge hands down the perma-
nent sentence.
Zavtcho Stanonor Stoyanov, 52,
faces up to three years in prison after
pleading no contest in October to
arson and assault on a peace ofcer. On
Wednesday, Judge Barbara Mallach
ordered him transported to San Quentin
State Prison for a three-month diag-
nostic evaluation.
The California
Department of
Corrections and
Rehabilitation will
deliver its assess-
ment July 29.
Stoyanov, of
Hillsborough, was a
patient at San
Mateo Medical
Center March 5,
2013, when he started the late-night
re on the rst oor. After hospital
staff extinguished the small fire,
Stoyanov reportedly blocked himself
in a hospital room with a chair and
hamper. When a nurse kicked the door
open, she reported seeing the bed and
oor on re and Stoyanov walking
toward her swinging a knife.
Responding ofcers needed nearly two
hours and a Taser to negotiate with and
eventually apprehend him.
The re caused the evacuation of 29
rooms and chaos but little other dam-
age to the hospital.
Stoyanov had been free from custody
in his friends home as long as they
took him to medical appointments and
he maintained regular contact with the
court.

FRESNO Cities in Californias
Central Valley dominate the American
Lung Associations annual rankings of
the nations worst air pollution that
were released Wednesday, though tradi-
tional dirty-air leader Los Angeles still
tops key categories.
Fresno, Visalia and Bakerseld rank
1-2-3 in the country for short-term
spikes in ne-particle pollution in the
in the Lung Associations 15th annual
State of the Air report, meaning their
residents inhale soot and other tiny
pollution specks at unmatched levels.
It is the rst time the Fresno-Madera
area earned the distinction that
Bakerseld had last year.
Los Angeles was fourth behind the
three Central Valley cities in that cate-
gory, but its still on top in another,
violating federal standards for ozone

The failing grades come despite
decades of increasing air clarity in the

Boxer questions TSA about San Jose stowaway
WASHINGTON A few weeks before a 15-year-old boy
stowed away in the wheel well of a ight from California to
Hawaii, the U.S. Transportation Security
Administration conducted a review of San
Joses airport and found its perimeter to
be in compliance with the agencys secu-
rity requirements.
Now, Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer of
California is questioning the thorough-
ness of the TSAs nearly three-month
review given that the boy said he hopped
a fence to get to the plane. Boxer made
the case in a Senate hearing Wednesday
that if a 15-year-old could get through security barriers, oth-
ers could, too.
What if it was someone else with an explosive? Boxer
asked
TSA Administrator John Pistole told Boxer that the
agencys review indicates that Mineta San Josi International
Airport has the proper security systems in place, but its not
a guarantee that nothing bad will ever happen.
Plane, body recovered in San Francisco Bay
RICHMOND Amarine salvage company has recovered
the fuselage of a plane and the body of its pilot, who crashed
into San Francisco Bay over the weekend after a midair col-
lision.
At least two news outlets showed the operation live online
Wednesday afternoon, and the body of the pilot could be seen
in the wreckage of the Cessna 210, which plunged into the
water on Sunday.
Contra Costa County Sheriffs spokesman Jimmy Lee
conrmed that the body was clearly visible, and he asked
members of the media not to show images of the victim,
whose name has not been released.
National Transportation Safety Board lead investigator
Howard Plagens said the midair collision occurred when the
pilot of a vintage Hawker Sea Fury TMK 20 pulled up to the
left side of his travelling companion ying the Cessna. The
Sea Furys pilot said he saw the Cessna going down but did
not see it crash.

Head-on crash closes 92
State Route 92 in Half Moon Bay was
closed for about an hour Wednesday after-
noon following a head-on collision that
injured two drivers and blocked the highway
in both directions.
According to San Mateo County sheriffs
Deputy Rebecca Rosenblatt, the collision
was reported at 3:02 p.m. just east of the
intersection of State Route 92 and Highway
1. The road was reopened at 4:15 p.m.
A person driving a vehicle in the west-
bound direction crossed the center divide for
unknown reasons, Rosenblatt said. The
vehicle then struck another vehicle travel-
ing east.
The driver heading in the westbound direc-
tion had to be extricated from the vehicle
and was taken by helicopter to an area hos-
pital, Rosenblatt said. The other driver was
transported via ambulance to a hospital.
Both victims were conscious at the scene,
Rosenblatt said.
Antibiotics legislation hits setback
Local brief
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Discouraging the unnecessary overuse of
antibiotics in livestock and protecting the
public from resistant bacteria was a goal
Assemblyman Kevin Mullin and state Sen.
Jerry Hill wanted to tackle this year, how-
ever, their three-pronged approach was
weakened Wednesday after one bill was
withdrawn.
Mullin, D-South San Francisco, tabled
his livestock antibiotics bill, saying he
wanted to maintain its integrity yet didnt
have support.
I think this is an important public
health issue that needs to be addressed, but
the votes were simply not there to move it
forward this year, Mullin wrote in a press
release.
Hill, D-San Mateo, has two bills in the
Senate regarding antibiotics, however,
Mullins bill would have been the strictest.
Mullins Assembly
Bill 1437 would have
banned nontherapeutic
use in livestock such as
for weight-gain purpos-
es. It also required data
collection and allowed
sick animals to be treat-
ed while still prohibit-
ing regular low-dose
applications.
His bill would have also barred the use of
antibiotics that have been documented to
threaten public health by increasing the
prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacte-
ria.
Both legislators cite growing research
on how the widespread use of antibiotics in
both farm animals and as prescribed in
hospitals is rendering them less effective.
Nearly 80 percent of the nations antibi-
otic supply is used on livestock and the
Center for Disease Control and Prevention
reported every year more
than 2 million
Americans contract
a n t i b i o t i c - r e s i s t a n t
infections and at least
23,000 die as a result.
In December, the Food
and Drug Administration
issued a request for phar-
maceutical companies,
livestock and poultry producers to stop
using antibiotics to promote faster growth
in animals, however, Mullin and Hill want
to make it compulsory, as it was only a
request.
In a press release, Mullin expressed con-
cern about withdrawing his bill as even if
the FDAs recommendations became
mandatory, antibiotics could still be
administered in low doses, causing some
bacteria to become resistant and eventual-
ly spread to consumers.
Hills legislative packet includes Senate
Bill 835 that addresses the use in farm ani-
mals by codifying the FDAs recommenda-
tions while forbidding growth enhance-
ment marketing. It also requires veterinary
prescription and oversight.
Thus far, the bill has been well received
by the California Cattlemans Association
and unanimously passed the Senate
Committee on Agriculture.
Hill could take SB 835 to the Senate
floor as early as Thursday, according to
Hills office.
Hill also introduced Senate Bill 1311,
co-authored by Mullin, which addresses
overuse in people by requiring hospitals
to have antimicrobial stewardship pro-
grams that generates awareness and dis-
suades the unnecessary use of antibiotics.
SB 1311 will be heard on the Senate
floor Monday, March 5.

Toronto mayor says hell seek help
TORONTO Toronto Mayor Rob Ford
will take a leave of absence to seek help for
alcohol, he said
Wednesday, as a report
surfaced about a second
video of the mayor smok-
ing what appears to be
crack cocaine.
Ford, who is seeking re-
election in the Oct. 27
vote, said he will take an
immediate leave from his
job and his campaign.
I have a problem with
alcohol, and the choices I have made while
under the inuence. I have struggled with this
for some time, Ford said in statement late
Wednesday.
The Globe and Mail newspaper said it has
viewed a second video of Ford smoking what
appears to be crack cocaine in his sisters
basement. The national newspaper said two
Globe reporters viewed the video from a self-
professed drug dealer showing Ford taking a
drag from a pipe early Saturday morning.
The video is part of a package of three
videos the dealer said was surreptitiously
lmed around 1:15 a.m., and which he says
he is now selling for at least six gures,
the paper reported.
News reports of the existence of an earlier
video of Ford apparently smoking crack rst
surfaced last May, igniting a media restorm
around Ford.
Hundreds rescued from
floodwaters in Florida, Alabama
PENSACOLA BEACH, Fla. People were
plucked off rooftops or climbed into their
attics to get away from fast-rising waters
when nearly 2 feet of rain fell on the Florida
Panhandle and Alabama coast in the span of
about 24 hours, the latest bout of severe
weather that began with tornadoes in the
Midwest.
On Wednesday, roads were chewed up into
pieces or wiped out entirely and neighbor-
hoods were inundated, making rescues dif-
cult for hundreds of people who called for help
when they were caught off guard by the single
rainiest day ever recorded in Pensacola.
Boats and Humvees zigzagged through the
ooded streets to help stranded residents. A
car and truck plummeted 25 feet when por-
tions of a scenic highway collapsed, and one
Florida woman died when she drove her car
into high water, ofcials said.
Near the Alabama-Florida line, water start-
ed creeping into Brandi McCoons mobile
home, so her fiance, Jonathan Brown,
wrapped up her nearly 2-year-old son Noah in
a blanket and they swam in neck-deep water
to their car about 50 feet away.

Mandatory evacuations lifted in California fire
RANCHO CUCAMONGA Authorities say winds whip-
ping a Southern California wildre eased enough to allow
people back into 1,650 homes that were evacuated as smoke
choked a foothill community.
The U.S. Forest Service says a mandatory evacuation
order was lifted shortly before 6 p.m. PDT Wednesday for
areas of Rancho Cucamonga, a city of 165,000 people east
of Los Angeles.
But people in some northern neighborhoods are still
urged to leave voluntarily if they feel threatened.
The 70-mph wind gusts that sent smoke over the area have
eased and are expected to die down further Wednesday
evening. But authorities say its still too gusty for aircraft
to join the reght .
The blaze erupted around 8 a.m. in the foothills of the San
Bernardino National Forest and by afternoon had burned
1,000 acres of brush.
The only structure that burned was a fence.
Californias population grew by 356,000 in 2013
SACRAMENTO Californias population grew nearly 1
percent in 2013 to exceed 38.3 million, with the highest
growth rate in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Data released Wednesday by the state Department of
Finance show California added 356,000 people last year. A
more detailed population report released in December said
births outpacing deaths was one factor in the growth rate.
Wednesdays report says San Jose, the states third largest
city behind Los Angeles and San Diego, hit 1 million resi-
dents for the rst time.
Santa Clara County, which includes San Jose, was the
fastest growing county at 1.5 percent, followed closely by
Alameda County. In all, three of the ve fastest-growing
counties were in the Bay Area.
Despite the overall growth, rural counties such as Amador,
Calaveras and Plumas, generally lost population.

OKLAHOMA CITY Oklahoma
Gov. Mary Fallin named a member of
her Cabinet on Wednesday to lead a
review of how the state conducts exe-
cutions after a botched procedure that
the White House said fell short of the
humane standards required.
Fallin said Clayton Lockett, who
had an apparent heart attack 43 min-
utes after the start of an execution in
which the state was using a new drug
combination for the rst time, had his
day in court.
I believe the death penalty is an
appropriate response and punishment
to those who commit heinous crimes
against their fellow men and women,
Fallin said. However, I also believe
the state needs to be certain of its pro-
tocols and its procedures for execu-
tions and that they work.
Lockett convulsed violently and
tried to lift his head after a doctor
declared him unconscious, and prison
ofcials halted the execution. Fallin
said an independent review would be
effective and appropriate.
The governor said the review, to be
led by Department of Public Safety
Commissioner Michael Thompson,
will focus on Locketts cause of death
and that an independent pathologist
will make that determination. The
review will also look at whether the
department followed the current proto-
col correctly and will include recom-
mendations for future executions.
Fallin said a stay for Charles Warner,
who had been scheduled to die two
hours after Lockett, is in place until
May 13. She said Warners execution
will be further delayed if the review is
not complete by then.
Warners attorney objected to the
investigation being led by a member
of Fallins Cabinet.
I dont consider that to be an inde-
pendent investigation, said lawyer
Madeline Cohen.
Attorney General Scott Pruitt, whose
ofce has worked to keep secret details
about the execution drugs, said he
intends to assign investigators to
work with Thompson.
The Oklahoma Board of Corrections
planned to meet in a closed-door ses-
sion Thursday to discuss the investiga-
tion and possible litigation con-
nected to Locketts execution. The
department did not immediately
respond to a request for details.
Lockett, 38, had been declared
unconscious 10 minutes after the rst
of three drugs in the states new lethal
injection combination was adminis-
tered Tuesday. Three minutes later, he
began breathing heavily, clenching
his teeth.

WASHINGTON Senate Republicans
derailed a Democratic drive Wednesday to
raise the federal minimum wage, blocking a
cornerstone of President Barack Obamas
economic plans and ensuring the issue will
be a major feature of this falls congression-
al elections.
Facing the threat of a GOP Senate
takeover, Democrats have forced votes on a
procession of bills designed to amplify
their message of economic fairness.
Republican senators accused Democrats of
playing politics by pushing a minimum
wage measure designed to lure voters but too
expensive for employers and sure to result
in lost jobs and higher ination.
This is about trying to make this side of
the aisle look bad and hard-hearted, and to
try to rescue this midterm election, said
No. 2 Senate GOP leader John Cornyn of
Texas.
The legislation by Sen. Tom Harkin of
Iowa would increase the $7.25 hourly mini-
mum wage for American workers in three
steps until it reached $10.10 after 30
months, with annual increases for ination
afterward. The minimum has been at $7.25
since 2009, with 3.3 million Americans
including disproportionate numbers of
women and younger people earning that
gure or less last year.
We saw this morning a majority of sena-
tors saying yes, but almost every
Republican saying no to giving America a
raise, Obama said in pointedly political
remarks at a White House event with low-
wage workers. And then if they keep put-
ting politics ahead of working Americans,
you can put them out of ofce.
All but daring Republicans to vote
against the measure, Harkin said before the
vote, Whos going to vote to give these
people a fair shot at the American dream?
And whos going to vote against it?
The answer came moments later when
senators voted 54-42 to continue debating
the legislation six votes short of the 60
needed to keep the measure moving forward.
Every voting Republican but one Bob
Corker of Tennessee voted no.

WASHINGTON An Army corporal
would get a full housing allowance to rent
an off-base apartment while a military fam-
ily will see little change in their grocery
costs at the commissary as an election-year
Congress rebuffed Pentagon efforts to trim
military benet s.
The House Armed Services personnel sub-
committee voted unanimously on
Wednesday to leave intact the current mili-
tary health care system, the housing
allowance and much of the Pentagons $1.4
billion in direct subsidies to the commis-
saries.
Im just really concerned about military
families and this doesnt need to be, Rep.
Joe Wilson, R-S.C., chairman of the per-
sonnel subcommittee, said of the proposed
Pentagon cuts after the panel vote. To me
the primary focus of the national govern-
ment is national defense. We will be provid-
ing.
The panels action marked the rst step in
the defense budget process on Capitol Hill,
with the full Armed Services Committee
expected to approve the bill next week.
Facing diminished budgets, three
defense secretaries and senior officers
have maintained that the cost of person-
nel benefits have become unsustainable
and threaten the Pentagons ability to
prepare the force for warfighting.
The department has proposed gradual
reductions that would increase out-of-pock-
et expenses for current and retired military
as it faces a sober reality military pay
and benets comprise the largest share of
the budget, $167.2 billion out of $495.6
billion.
America has an obligation to make sure
service members and their families are fair-
ly and appropriately compensated and cared
for during and after their time in uniform,
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel told
Congress last month. We also have a
responsibility to give our troops the nest
training and equipment possible so that
whenever America calls upon them, they are
prepared.
Every attempt by the Pentagon to trim
benefits has faced fierce resistance from
congressional Republicans and Democrats
as well as powerful outside military organi-
zations that argue the benets help attract
men and women to the all-volunteer force.
They also contend that service members
and their families make unique sacrices and
deserve all the benets.
Still, concerns about fiscal realities
emerged during the panels brief discussion
about the legislation.
Military benefits survive defense cuts

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

Activists: Airstrike on Syrian school kills 19
BEIRUT ASyrian ghter jet struck a school with a mis-
sile in the northern city of Aleppo Wednesday as teachers
and students were preparing an exhibit of childrens draw-
ings depicting their country at war, killing at least 19 peo-
ple, including 10 children, activists said.
Bulldozers removed rubble from the smashed building,
with childrens drawings and paintings scattered in the
debris, according to activist videos of the government
airstrike on a school in the opposition-held eastern part of
the city. One of the drawings showed a hanging skeleton
surrounded by skulls with a child nearby being shot by a
gunman in a ditch. The child has a speech bubble written
above her head in broken English that partly reads: Syria
will still free.
In another video by opposition activists, the bodies of
10 children wrapped in brown and blue sheets are seen on
the oor of a hospital ward while a woman screams in the
background.
The videos appeared genuine and corresponded to
Associated Press reporting of the events.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights,
which covers the conict through a network of activists on
the ground, said at least 19 people were killed in the strike,
including 10 children.
Kiev: Forces helpless to restore order in east
HORLIVKA, Ukraine Ukraines acting president con-
ceded Wednesday that his police and security forces were
helpless to stie unrest in the countrys east, where pro-
Russia gunmen seized more buildings, walking into the
police station and mayors ofce in this mining hub without
resistance.
Insurgents also took control of the customs service build-
ing in Donetsk, the regions main city, and city hall in
Alchevsk, an industrial center of about 110,000, adding to
the scores of buildings taken by the separatists over the
past month in the east, where a dozen cities are now in the
hands of the separatists.
Acting President Oleksandr Turchynov has twice pro-
claimed anti-terrorist operations to regain control of the
east, but to little effect. In a meeting with ofcials from
other Ukrainian regions, he acknowledged the failure and
indicated the government would back off even trying to
bring the most restive parts of the east to heel, focusing
instead on trying to keep the unrest from spreading to other
parts of the nation of 46 million.

BAGHDAD Iraq voted Wednesday
in its rst nationwide election since
U.S. troops withdrew in 2011, with
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki con-
dent of victory and even offering an
olive branch to his critics by inviting
them to join him in a governing coali-
tion.
But his optimism will do little to
conceal the turmoil and violence that
still stalk Iraq in the eight years he has
held ofce, with the looming threat of
the country sliding deeper into sectari-
an bloodshed and risking a breakup.
Our victory is certain, but we are
talking about how big is that certain
success, he said after voting in
Baghdad.
Here we are today, successfully
holding the ... election while no for-
eign troops exist on Iraqi soil. I call
upon all the other groups to leave the
past behind and start a new phase of
good brotherly relations, said al-
Maliki, who faces growing criticism
over government corruption and per-
sistent bloodshed as sectarian ten-
sions threaten to push Iraq back toward
the brink of civil war.
The election was held amid a massive
security operation, with hundreds of
thousands of troops and police
deployed across the country to protect
polling centers and voters. The streets
of Baghdad, a city of 7 million, looked
deserted. Police and soldiers manned
checkpoints roughly 500 meters
(yards) apart and pickup trucks mount-
ed with machine guns roamed the
streets that were otherwise devoid of
the usual trafc jams.
Scattered attacks took place north
and west of Baghdad, killing at least
ve people and wounding 16.

letter, Oberg reflects that the issue
of Don Horsley collecting both pen-
sion and supervisor salary is a non
issue. I agree, always have, some-
how Mr. Oberg thinks I had an issue
with that, not at all. What I have an
issue with is dishonesty.
Supervisors Don Horsley, Carole
Groom and Adrienne Tissier took
away the business license of Bao
Ling Qi because they determined she
was dishonest. Don Horsley notified
the public 46 days after the fact that
he broke his campaign promise. The

to get back on track and keep his
promise that nobody asked him to
make.

ment to car owners is a cause for
jubilation for at least one letter
writer (Kaia Eakin letter to the editor

One concept that seems to have
gone over their head is that we
shoppers are bringing economic
benefit not liability (as is implied)
to cities with our tax dollars and will
support those cities that are busi-
ness and shopper friendly. I will no
longer be able to support Gelb

Y
ou know things are bad in
Sacramento when
Californias lawmakers are
required to take ethics training.
State Senate members were called
into a closed-door session by Senate
Democratic leader Darrell Steinberg
this week to attend a mandatory
ethics training session, a shocking
admission that something stinks in
the Capitol building of the Golden
State.
The training session was held in
the aftermath of three Democratic
senators facing criminal charges, a
major embarrassment for a party that
has fought long and hard to reach its
goal of controlling the state
Legislature.
Not that Republicans should take
much solace in the accusations.
Allegations of corruption affect both
parties equally.
After all, who can blame the poor
voter who looks at the influence of
special interests in the halls of gov-
ernment and reacts by saying: My
vote doesnt count anymore. My so-
called representatives respond to the
moneyed interests and not to me.
The average voter is right, because
the amount of fund-raising required
to run for office has become a domi-
nating part of any candidates cam-
paign strategy.
Honest or corrupt, a candidate
today faces a daily challenge to raise
money if not for herself, for oth-
ers in her partys leadership. Where
is your Assembly member or state
senator this evening? Chances are
hes at a fund-raiser, smiling and
making small talk over wine and
cheese with this trade group or that
association.
As a result, theres now consider-
able push-back about getting the
money out of politics, about putting
limits on donations or banning
methods of fund-raising altogether.
Just this week during a debate among
candidates for state Secretary of
State, four candidates vowed to take
action against the corrupting influ-
ence of money, each of them propos-
ing a different level of regulation.
Alas, were not convinced that
either strict legislation or ethics
training behind closed doors will
solve the problem. Integrity is a
personal issue, and voters should
ask that a candidate for office any
candidate should make a case dur-
ing a campaign that he or she will
respond to voters and not merely the
special interests.
Most office-holders are honest.
But like the rest of us, politicians
are judged by the worst of what they
do, and that means that they ought
to answer some hard questions about
who funds them and why.
Accepting a political donation in
and of itself is not corrupt
whether its from an environmental
group or a private industry. But its
up to the office-holder to acknowl-
edge the donation, report it publicly
and ensure that the voter still has a
voice.
In our current political climate,
its impossible to expect the public
to give blind trust to those holding
office. Ethics training actually
might be a good start. But public
officials especially those in far-
off Sacramento have a lot of work
to do to regain the public trust.
It will take time and a lot of effort.
The ball is in their court.
Will political ethics training work? Immortal stories
of Half Moon Bay
H
alf Moon Bay, get ready for your close-up.
Hollywood is calling. Last week, the Bravo TV
network announced a new mystery drama produced
by actress Jennifer Garner and set it in you guessed it
Half Moon Bay.
Take that, Carmel! You might have Clint Eastwood but
the San Mateo County coast gets Ben Afecks wife and the
folks who brought TVviewers such gems as Toddlers &
Tiaras and its breakout star Honey Boo Boo.
Of course, this upcoming bit of escapism will not be
The Real Housewives of Half Moon Bay much as that
might be disappointing. Instead, the show entitled All the
Pretty Faces is described as a mystery dramedy series
focusing on, according to one
published summary, two immor-
tal families in a decades-long feud
who come together after one of
them dies to search for the secret
to their eternal life.
Im thinking Twilight meets
Hateld & McCoys with every-
body impossibly attractive to
watch and at least one Romeo and
Juliet-style love connection that
keeps the families at odds. And
maybe a werewolf. The word
moon is in the citys name,
after all.
Besides, supernatural is tting for that part of the county.
Theres the Blue Lady of the Moss Beach Distillery, the
ghostly apparition of a beautiful, young woman who died
in a violent automobile accident some 70-odd years ago and
haunts the restaurant looking for the handsome bar piano
player with whom she had an illicit affair. Another legend
claims that the Purissima Cemetery south of Half Moon
Bay includes a little boy who died from a fever. Agrown
man fell ill with similar symptoms about a week later and
appeared to have also died. But he woke up just as funeral
preparations were being nished. The boys family worried
they had buried the boy alive so they exhumed the grave.
Cue the creepy music the body was ipped over inside
the casket.
On Thanksgiving Day 2006, three teens broke into an
abandoned Pacica elementary school in search of ghostly
spirits. They claimed to belong to the Idaho Spirit Seekers
and had information about ghosts at Fairmont School. The
organization said only one boy ever attended a meeting and
was not invited to join. There you go built-in drama and
mystery!
Why stop there with the ripped-from-the-headline plot
lines? Supernatural undertones aside, the writers neednt
look too far for some real drama Half Moon Bay.
The antics of the Harbor Commission, with its inghting
and nger pointing, is good for a multi-episode arc. Heck,
maybe it could provide some of the hair-pulling and name
calling weve come to expect from the Real Housewives
franchise. Not so sure on the plastic surgery and bling.
Subplots the hoist, the sh fees, the annual stress of a
successful crab and salmon season. It might not be
Deadliest Catch but this is potentially good television,
people!
Dont stop there. Radiation washing up on shore from
the Fukushima nuclear meltdown everybody loves a very
special disaster episode and the Mavericks surng com-
petition are possibilities. Action shots! Guest appearances!
Now the mystery how about a murder? Gaylord the
ostrich was found fatally shot the day after Halloween in
2006 and his killers only revealed after his owner tracked
down the pair on her own.
Or, stretching a bit, maybe a giant gourd can fall on a
competitor at the annual giant pumpkin weigh-off. Was
somebody trying to squash the competition? Tune in next
week to nd out.
Same goes for that town divide over agritourism, colise-
um-style sword ghts and large metal gorillas at pumpkin
farms. If that doesnt cause rifts among families and resi-
dents, little will.
When all else fails, the citys somewhat recent nancial
trouble stemming from an $18 million legal settlement
over a land dispute is always good fodder. City government
isnt usually what springs to mind when one thinks of scin-
tillating television but the success of Parks and
Recreation is proof positive that even the most basic of
functions can be mined for comic gold. Granted, nobody
was laughing when city leaders began talking about unin-
corporating and outsourcing services.
Nobody is laughing either over the citys latest twist, the
ght over the future of its historic bridge connecting down-
town and State Route 92. But in the hands of a good writer,
who knows what gems can spun from this story of a city
battleeld. It might even be better than the real thing.
However, unlike those other tales out of Half Moon Bay, we
must wait until later for that storys nale.

Big movers
By Steve Rothwell
NEW YORK The Dow Jones
industrial average closed at an all-
time high Wednesday as the good nar-
rowly outweighed the bad for the
stock market.
After investors took in some solid
U.S. company earnings, the latest
move from the Federal Reserve and a
report of unexpectedly weak econom-
ic growth in the first quarter, the
stock market managed its third
straight day of gains.
The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 45.47 points, or 0.3 percent, to
16,580.84, four points above its pre-
vious record set on Dec. 31. It was the
first day the index closed in positive
territory for the year.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
1, 883. 95. The Nasdaq composite
4, 114. 56.
Stocks started the day lower after
the Commerce Department said U.S.
growth slowed to a barely discernible
0.1 percent annual rate in the
January-March quarter, less than 1.1
percent forecast by economists,
according to FactSet. Winter storms
chilled activity.
The markets reaction was muted
because most investors expect the
slowdown to be temporary and
growth to rebound with warmer tem-
peratures.
Most people, including us,
expected March to have been the
strongest month of the first quarter
and that growth will continue to pick
up, said Sean Lynch, global invest-
ment strategist for Wells Fargo
Private Bank. Thats an OK environ-
ment for the market.
Some solid earnings reports and
corporate deal news helped offset the
weak economic report, and by midday
stocks had eked out small gains.
Pepco Holdings surged $3.97, or
17.4 percent, to $26.76 after it
agreed to be acquired by nuclear
power company Exelon for $6.83
billion, creating a large electric and
gas utility in the mid-Atlantic
region. Exelon will pay an 18 per-
cent premium to the companys
$23.10 closing price on Tuesday.
Sealed Air rose $1.72, or 5.3 per-
cent, to $34.31 after the food pack-
aging companys earnings easily
beat Wall Streets expectations. The
company also said it was on track to
post full-year earnings at the upper
end of the range of its forecast.
More than 60 percent of S&P 500
companies have reported first-quarter
earnings. Analysts currently expect
earnings to grow by 1.7 percent in
the period, according to S&P Capital
IQ data. That compares with growth
of almost 8 percent in the fourth quar-
ter and 5.2 percent in the same period
a year ago.
Stocks climbed higher in afternoon
trading after the Federal Reserves
statement following its April policy
meeting was in line with investors
expectations.
The Fed said it would reduce its
monthly bond purchases by another
$10 billion to $45 billion. The stim-
ulus is intended to hold down long-
term interest rates and support the
mortgage market. The Fed also reaf-
firmed its plan to keep short-term
interest rates low to support the
economy for a considerable time
after its bond purchases end, likely
late this year.
Bond prices rose. The yield on the
10-year Treasury note fell to 2.65
percent from 2.70 percent on
Tuesday. The yield on the note has
fallen from 3 percent at the start of
the year.
As bond yields remain close to his-
torical lows, stocks will likely
remain attractive to investors, said
David Kelly, Chief Global Strategist
at JPMorgan funds.
What else are you supposed to do
with your money? Kelly said. For
lack of something better to do with
it, money is going to move back into
equities.
Dow closes at all-time high
By Martin Crutsinger
WASHINGTON The Federal Reserve
struck an encouraging note Wednesday: It
will further cut its bond purchases because
the U.S. job market needs less help. And it
said the economy had strengthened after all
but stalling during a harsh winter.
The Fed also reafrmed its plan to keep
short-term interest rates low to support the
economy for a considerable time after its
bond purchases end, likely late this year.
But it again offered no specic timetable for
any rate increase. Most economists expect
no rate increase before mid-2015 at the ear-
liest.
Investors liked what they heard. Stocks
rose after the Fed issued its statement, and
the Dow Jones industrial average closed up
45 points to a record 16,580.
The Feds guidance on short-term rates
conforms to goals that Chair Janet Yellen
noted in a speech this month. She said the
Feds rate policies must be exible enough
to meet unexpected economic challenges.
The Feds description of an economy
rebounding from the winter freeze was the
only meaningful change it made from the
statement it issued in March, after the rst
meeting that Yellen led after taking over in
February.
Wednesdays statement also repeated the
theme the Fed sounded in March that even
after the job market strengthens and it starts
raising rates, it will likely keep rates unusu-
ally low to support a still-subpar economy.
Exxon, Chevron raise
dividends ahead of 1Q results
NEW YORK Exxon Mobil Corp. and
Chevron Corp. announced Thursday that
they are raising their dividends just ahead of
quarterly nancial reports that are expected
to show more than $13 billion in combined
earnings.
Exxon Mobil, the nations largest oil com-
pany, hiked its dividend by 9.5 percent, to 69
cents per share from 63 cents. The Irving,
Texas-based company said the dividend will
be payable June 10 to investors who own the
shares on May 13. No. 2 Chevron raised its
dividend by 7 percent to $1.07 from $1 per
share. It will be payable June 10 to share-
holders as of May 19.
Exxon is expected to report Thursday that it
earned $1.88 per share in the rst quarter, or
about $8.3 billion excluding special items,
according to a survey of analysts by FactSet.
Revenue is projected at $109.76 billion.
U.S. economy slowed to
0.1 percent growth rate in Q1
WASHINGTON The U.S. economy
slowed sharply in the rst three months of
the year as a harsh winter exacted a toll on
business activity. The slowdown, while
worse than expected, is likely to be tempo-
rary as growth rebounds with warmer weather.
Growth slowed to a barely discernible 0.1
percent annual rate in the January-March
quarter, the Commerce Department said
Wednesday. That was the weakest pace since
the end of 2012 and was down from a 2.6
percent rate in the previous quarter.
Many economists said the governments
first estimate of growth in the January-
March quarter was skewed by weak gures
early in the quarter. They noted that several
sectors from retail sales to manufacturing
output rebounded in March.
Fed cuts monthly bond
purchases; sounds upbeat
By Joe McDonald
BEIJING China has rejected a World
Bank report that suggests it might pass the
United States this year to become the
biggest economy measured by its currencys
purchasing power.
China is on track to become the No. 1
economy by sheer size by the early 2020s
and possibly sooner. But its leaders down-
play such comparisons, possibly to avert
pressure to take on nancial obligations or
make concessions on trade or climate
change.
The estimate by the World Banks
International Comparison Program says
that based on 2011 prices, the purchasing
power of Chinas currency, the yuan, was
much stronger than was reflected by
exchange rates.
By that measure, Chinas economy was 87
percent the size of the United States i n
2011, or 15 percent bigger than the previ-
ous estimate, according to a calculation by
RBS economist Louis Kuijs. Faster-growing
China would pass the United States in pur-
chasing power terms this year, though it
still would be about 60 percent the size of
the U.S. economy at market exchange rates.

We used to have this famous mantra,

SAN JOSE Anze Kopitar scored the
tiebreaking goal late in the second period
and Jonathan Quick made 39 saves to cap
the Los Angeles Kings historic comeback
from three games down with a 5-1 victory
over the San Jose Sharks in Game 7 of their
rst-round series Wednesday night.
Drew Doughty, Tyler Toffoli, Dustin
Brown and Tanner Pearson also scored for
the Kings, who became the fourth NHLteam
to win a best-of-seven series after losing
the rst three games.
The Kings joined Toronto (1942), the
New York Islanders (1975) and Philadelphia
(2010) as the only teams to complete that
comeback and now will get another
California showdown in the second-round
with the rst Freeway Playoff against the
Anaheim Ducks.
Matt Irwin scored the lone goal and Antti
Niemi made 25 saves for the Sharks, who
added perhaps their most bitter playoff dis-
appointment to a history of them. San Jose
has the second most regular-season wins in
the NHL the past 10 seasons but has never
made it past the conference nals.
The way the Sharks started this series by
outscoring the Kings 17-8 to win the rst
three games, it looked as if this could nal-
ly be their year.
But Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau and the
rest of their stars went mostly missing the
nal four games, the power play could not
convert on its nal 15 chances and the
defense made too many lapses, leading to
their second straight Game 7 loss to their
California rivals.
The Sharks took their first lead since
Game 3 in the opening minute of the second
when Irwins point shot beat Quick through
a screen to provide a jolt to the crowd that
only got bigger when San Jose drew a
penalty less than a minute later.

F
ormer NBAcommissioner David
Stern is generally regarded as the
best head man of any of the major

league which once had its championship
series on tape delay after the late local

In less than three months, however, his
hand-picked protg,
Adam Silver, has

In fact, Silver has
surpassed all other
commissioners with
one swift stroke

head Roger Goodell
and MLB commis-
sioner Bud Selig. In his rst major act as
the head of the NBA, Silver swiftly and
concisely did what Stern was unable or

him from NBAactivities for life, saddled
him with a $2.5 million ne and will do
everything in his power to force Sterling
to sell the team for his racist remarks

any length of time must be saying: what

Every now and then, a baseball player
needs a day off. Its during those games that
substitutes need to ready to contribute.
Carlmonts bench and bullpen came
through big Wednesday when the Scots
hosted Sacred Heart Prep in a key Peninsula
Athletic League Bay Division showdown.
Backup catcher Ryan Callahan jumped-start-
ed the Scots two-run rally in the third,
Julian Billot came off the bench to drive in
a crucial insurance run in the sixth and
pitcher Joe Pratt threw 4 1/3 innings of
relief to pick up the win in a 3-0 victory
over the Gators.
Were starting to play good team base-
ball, Early in the year, that wasnt there,
said Carlmont manager Rich Vallero, whose
team has won six of their last seven league
games. We went through a lot of growing
pains. Since Fresno (where the Scots played
in a spring-break tournament) weve come
together as a group.
Since pulling out an emotional 9-8 victo-
ry over rival Menlo April 23, Sacred Heart
Prep has now lost two straight Bay
Division games. Pitcher Will Johnston
gave his team a chance to win, holding
Carlmont to just three runs (only two
earned) on six hits, but the Gators offense
just could not come up the big hit.
The Gators had Carlmont starting pitcher
Ryan Giberton on the ropes early, loading
the bases in the rst two innings, but came
up empty. Giberton, Pratt and closer Matt
Seubert held SHP to just three hits on the
day.
Were looking for a big hit, said SHP
manager Gregg Franceschi. Were not far
(away). I think were getting a little impa-
tient.
Giberton started strong, striking out the
rst two batters of the game, but then he
couldnt seem to find the strike zone.
Andrew Daschbach laced a two-out single up
the middle before Danny Cody reached on an
error. Cole March walked to load the bases,

South City looked like it might wrap up
things early in Wednesdays 14-7 rivalry-
game win over El Camino.
Sparked by rst-inning home runs by
Shelby Baxter and Leanna Cruz, the Warriors
ran up an 8-1 score through the rst two
innings. After stranding the bases loaded in
the rst, South City sent nine batters to the
plate amid a six-run second.
Then things got a little weird.
In the bottom of the third, South City junior
Kassidy Lanchinebre injured her left knee and
had to be carried from the eld.
South City head coach Manny Cotla
described the play on which Lanchinebre was
injured in detail.
She got called out on a strike three that got
by the catcher. She was coming back to the
dugout and I told her run because it was an open
base, Coach Cotla said. I think when she
made the turn to run she locked up. Her rst
reaction was straight down to the ground.
She said she heard a pop. Its a knee. I think
she popped something in the back of knee.
With the loss of Lanchinebre, the Warriors
having entered the game with nine players
on their active roster were forced to play the
nal four innings with just eight players.
With the advantage of a veritable power
play, El Camino outscored South City 6-4
over the nal four innings, but it was not
enough as the Warriors got a gritty perform-
ance from starting pitcher Emily Cotla and a
standout performance from Baxter at the plate
and in the squat.
After Cotlas streak of 12 complete games,
dating back to last season, was snapped in
South Citys April 19 non-league loss to
Watsonville, the junior right-hander got
another streak cooking with a complete-game
victory Wednesday. With the win, Cotla
improves her record to 8-5.
It wasnt easy though. With South City in
dire straits in the circle, Cotla soldiered
through a pretty nasty cough and took several
hits from an asthma inhaler over the course of
the game.

For Carlmont hurdler Franklin
Rice, the biggest things are yet to
come.
That applies to the classroom as
much as it does to the track for the
fourth-year varsity track-and-eld
standout, as Rice is headed to the
UC Berkeley College of
Engineering in the fall.
While he doesnt have a place on
the Cal track and eld team, the
Scots top runner still embraces the
dream of competing at the next
level.
My mission is academic, but I
would love to be able to run on the
Cal-Berkeley team, Rice said.
So, Im going to contact [Cals
coach] with the hope of being able
to run for their team.
In the meantime, Rice has plen-
ty on his plate. First and fore-
most, he is eyeing a qualifying
time for the state track meet June
6-7 at Fresnos Buchanan High
School.
As for past accomplishments,
such as taking rst place in the
triple jump in last years
Peninsula Athletic League nals
with a personal best of 42 feet, 6
inches, Rice, as he has done to
most of his PAL competition this
season, has left it in the dust.
For me, the biggest races are
yet to come, Rice said. So, Im
not going to give any holistic
reviews yet. But so far, within the
league meets, I think Ive been
running pretty well.
Rice logs a standard slate of
events for a sprinter. He runs the
110 meter hurdles and the 300 hur-
dles. He also maintains the triple
jump, despite it being less of a
focus for his this season.
As far as the hurdles and triple
jump are concerned, there hasnt
been any competition that has
been super close to me that Ive
encountered so far, Rice said. I
guess well see at PAL nals how
that goes, and [Central Coast
Section] nals.
With Carlmont having a bye
Thursday in the nal week of regu-
lar-season PALmeets, Rices focus
is solely on the postseason. The
PAL trials are slated for next week,
May 9 at 4 p.m. at Terra Nova. The
PAL nals, also at Terra Nova, are
May 17 at 10 a.m. CCS champi-
onships at Gilroy High School are
set for the nal week of May, with
trials taking place May 24 and
nals on May 30.
Rice has been a beast in hurdles
events this season and has his eye
on the prize primarily in the 300
hurdles. He nished strong in the
event last season, turning in a per-
sonal record of 39.4 seconds at
CCS nals last season, but n-
ished in sixth place to miss the cut
for state nals.
I hope to win the PAL nals in
the hurdles and triple jump, except
my triple jumping isnt looking
too hot this year. So, I guess well
see about that, Rice said. I hope
to do well in CCS in 300 hurdles
and hopefully move on to the state
meet if I can qualify in the top
few.
Once torn between running track
and playing baseball as a fresh-
man, Rice started his high school
running career as a distance guy.
He ran cross country as a freshman
then ran track at Carlmont while
concurrently playing baseball for
a non-school league.
I was really busy, so I had to
make a decision, Rice said.
Rice not only decided on track,
but also converted to a sprinter as
a sophomore. And hes been ying
ever since.
Owning an impressive resume as
a sprinter, Rice has a personal
record of 51.1 seconds in the 400
meter, a plateau he reached at the
Don Bell Quicksilver Classic at
Leland High School. Otherwise,
he has predominantly sprinted as a
member of the relay teams this
season.
One of Rices main rivalries is
PAL this season has been a friend-
ly one with teammate Alex
Kumamoto. While they are good
friends on and off the track, the
seniors share an intriguing on-
eld rivalry.
I would say were definitely
friends before were rivals, but
theres denitely a friendly spirit
of competition between us, Rice
said. If one us just barely edges
out the other, were always joking
around afterwards about how close
it was. Its always fun to beat the
other.
While Kumamoto and Rice push
each other in the hurdles, Rice is
still trying to push himself to
recover the triple jump form that
showed so much promise last sea-
son. But he said he will use the two
weeks leading up to PAL nals to
get into jumping shape.
My triple jumps were just a lot
better last year. Im not sure why,
Rice said. I can probably practice
it more before PAL nals so I can
get it back to the 42, 43 foot
range.
Carlmonts Rice ready for postseason
PHOTO COURTESY OF FRANKLIN RICE
Carlmonts Franklin Rice is looking for a spot in the state track meet,but rst
needs to perform well in the PAL and CCS championships.
ARLINGTON, Texas Jesse Chavez
allowed one hit in seven scoreless innings,
Eric Sogard matched his season total with
three RBIs on Wednesday night and the
Oakland Athletics completed a three-game
sweep with a 12-1 rout of the sloppy Texas
Rangers.
Yoenis Cespedes had two doubles, scored
twice and drove in two runs for the As, who
scored 10 runs combined in the third and
fourth innings to answer a three-game
sweep by the Rangers in Oakland last week.
The Rangers matched a season high with
four errors, including one of two by short-
stop Elvis Andrus on what could have been
an inning-ending double play in Oaklands
seven-run third.
Chavez (2-0) walked one and struck out
eight, allowing only Prince Fielders soft
line-drive single to right-center eld in the
rst inning.
Robbie Ross (1-2) gave up 11 hits and 10
runs in 3 1-3 innings, the shortest outing of
the left-handers rst season as a starter.
Just six runs were earned because of Andrus
second error in Texas
fourth straight loss.
Alberto Callaspo and
Derek Norris had three
hits each among a sea-
son-high 17 for Oakland.
Two of Norris hits were
ineld singles on chop-
pers to Texas third base-
man Adrian Beltre and
played big roles in
Oakland building a 10-0 lead.
The burly catcher hustled to beat Beltres
throw for the fth straight Oakland hit in
the third. An inning later, Craig Gentry
scored as Beltres throw skipped past Fielder
for an error, and right elder Alex Rios was
charged with an error trying to get Cespedes
at home when his throw went to the back-
stop.
Andrus, who went 0 for 2 and has one hit
in his past 28 at-bats, had his other error in
the rst inning when his throw went several
feet over Fielders head on a routine
grounder by Josh Donaldson.
Cespedes had a two-run double for a 3-0
Oakland lead in the third before the rst of
Norris ineld hits. Callaspo followed with
an easy grounder to Andrus, but the ball
went between his legs into center eld.
Sogard later made it 7-0 with a two-run sin-
gle and added an RBI single in the fourth.
Coco Crisp hit his third homer of the sea-
son, a solo shot to right eld in the sixth
for a 12-0 lead. It was the only homer of the
series in a ballpark thats never had a three-
game set without at least one home run.
Texas ended the shutout in the eighth
when Josh Wilsons double off reliever Luke
Gregerson scored Leonys Martin.

Sequoia 5, Kings Academy 1
Kyle Cambron red his sixth consecutive
complete game Tuesday as the Cherokees
scored late in support of their ace right-han-
der. Cambron locked up with Kings
Academy starter Zach Hansen to take a dead-
locked 0-0 score into the fth, but Sequoia
rallied for three runs in the top of the inning
then added two more in the sixth. Cherokees
senior Cameron Greenough has his biggest
day of the season, going 3 for 3 with a dou-
ble and two RBIs. Greenough is currently
hitting .327 on the season. Michael Svozil
added a 3-for-3 day for Kings Academy.
With the win, Sequoia (8-3 in Peninsula
Athletic League Ocean Division, 17-5-1
overall) remains in rst place in the PAL
Ocean Division, one game ahead of second-
place Aragon and Hillsdale, tied at 7-4 in
league.
Aragon 9, Mills 4
The Vikings jumped out to a 4-3 lead in
the top of the third but the Dons tied it with
a run in the bottom of the frame before ral-
lying for three in the fourth to take the lead
for good Tuesday. Chad Franquez worked ve
innings to earn his fth win in his last six
starts. The junior right-hander is now 5-2
with a 2.04 ERA. Third baseman Chris
Davis paced the Dons with a 3-for-4 day
with an RBI. Kevin Hahn and Matt
Foppiano had two hits apiece.
Hillsdale 6, Woodside 5
Hillsdale rallied late with three runs in the
sixth to force extra innings before winning
it in the eighth. The Knights got four two-
hit days from Riki Urata, Andrew Yarak,
Brett Wetteland and Taran Pass. Wetteland
had a double and three RBIs while Pass hit
his rst home run of the season.
Capuchino 10, El Camino 3
Cap lefty Joe Galea red a complete game
to improve to 5-2 Tuesday. It was the
seniors rst win since March 20 against
Kings Academy. Since then, Galea has
allowed 15 runs in his last six games to
maintain a 2.33 ERA. Galea and Rory
McDaid each had three hits in the game,
with Galea going off at the plate to the tune
of ve RBIs his career high.
Westmont 12, Menlo 3
Westmont (14-8 overall) scored seven
runs in the rst en route to banging out 16
hits in non-league play Tuesday. Westmont
junior Dan Speciale had his best day of the

RBIs. Ian Balbas worked ve inning to earn
the win, improving to 3-0 on the year.
Menlo (13-9) had two-hit performances by
Jared Lucian and Christian Pluchar. Lucian,

Terra Nova 3, Menlo-Atherton 0
The rst-place Tigers (5-1 in PAL Ocean
Division, 7-10 overall) won their third
straight to remain a game ahead of South
City and Mills (tied at 4-2 in league) in the
Ocean Division. Terra Nova sophomore
right-hander Makena Borovina tabbed ve
strikeouts behind a complete-game shutout.
Her battery mate, sophomore catcher Taylor
Gomes, continued to excel at the plate with

added two hits and two RBIs. Sarah Tiemann
paced the Bears with two hits.
Woodside 2, Burlingame 1
Wildcats senior Christina Patton rolled to
her ninth complete game of the season
Tuesday, experiencing a mere hiccup in the
fourth inning. Woodside (5-4 in PAL Bay
Division, 10-11 overall) jumped out to a 1-
0 lead in the third. After Burlingame tied it
in the top of the fourth, the Wildcats
responded with the go-ahead run in the bot-
tom of the frame and didnt look back.
Senior Madison Diamos and sophomore
Lexi Ricardi each tabbed two hits for the
Wildcats. Burlingame junior Melissa
Guevara was 2 for 3. The Panthers (1-8, 5-
15) committed four errors in the game.

keep the Mustangs in the thick of the PAL
Bay Division race. The Mustangs (6-3 in

out just two. The Lady Mustangs tallied
three two-run innings with rallies in the
second, fourth and seventh.
Hillsdale 2, Soquel 0
The Knights managed just three hits in

had two of her teams three hits with 2-for-3
day. Junior Bailey Neston was 1 for 3 with

Local sports roundup
By Michael Wagaman
SAN FRANCISCO Tim Hudson and
Sergio Romo combined on a ve-hitter and
the San Francisco Giants beat the San Diego
Padres 3-2 on Wednesday night.
Hudson (4-1) struck out six and didnt
walk a batter for the fourth time in ve starts
this season. The Giants most consistent
starter in his rst season with the club,
Hudson has walked two batters in 46
innings.
The three-time All-Star was one pitch
from recording his rst shutout in nearly
two years before Yasmani Grandals two-out
home run in the ninth.
Brandon Hicks homered and Michael
Morse drove in his team-leading 20th RBI
for the Giants, who nished 5-1 on their
homestand.
Cameron Maybin doubled and scored for
San Diego, which has lost 10 consecutive
series at AT&T Park.
Hudson allowed only one runner past sec-
ond base until Grandals home run in the
ninth, and had two stretches where he retired
nine straight batters.
The right-hander helped his cause at the
plate with a single in the second and a key
sacrice bunt in the seventh that put the
eventual winning run in scoring position.
Hudson has pitched at least seven innings
in each of his six starts this season, the
longest streak by a San Francisco pitcher in
his rst year with the club since Livian
Hernandezs six-game stretch in 2002.
Hudson was sharp early and needed only
19 pitches to retire the rst seven batters.
After giving up a one-out single to Jace
Peterson in the third, the three-time All-Star
struck out San Diego pitcher Robbie Erlin
and Everth Cabrera.
The only other hits the Padres managed
came on a two-out double by Grandal in the
fourth, a single by Jedd Gyorko in the sev-
enth and a leadoff double by Maybin in the
eighth. Maybin scored on Alexi Amaristas
groundout.
The Giants, playing without leadoff hitter
Angel Pagan and third baseman Pablo
Sandoval, backed Hudson with just enough
offense. Every starter except leadoff man
Juan Perez had at least one hit.

former commissioner Stern never took any
action. Silver deserves respect for doing
what other commissioners have failed to do
take a stand on divisive issues.
Goodell and his predecessor Paul
Tagliabue never did. The NFL still has a
team that uses a racial slur for one of its
teams mascots the Washington
Redskins but have yet to do anything
about it, seemingly incapable of forcing
Washington owner Daniel Snyder to
change.
We all know Seligs shortcomings
the biggest being turning a blind eye to
the steroid issue, as well as his feet drag-
ging on the Oakland As-San Francisco
Giants territorial issue.
And yet all these former commissioners
have been feted upon their retirement or
have been praised for turning a league (the
NFL) from a billion-dollar entity into a
multi-billion dollar tour de force.
The common refrain is professional
sports commissioners work for the league
owners and do their bidding. Silver proved
that his job rst and foremost is to
do what is best for the integrity of the
league. His handling of Sterling proved he
is willing to take a stand, unlike the oth-
ers.
But it would be hard to believe Silver
would take such unprecedented steps with-
out having several key owners in his cor-
ner, knowing, ultimately, it will be the
other 30 NBAowners who will decide if
Sterling is forced to sell his team.
Its time the NFL and MLB follow the
lead of Silver and act in the best interests
of the leagues and not to kowtow to other
owners. Its time professional sports own-
ers are held accountable for what their peers
do.
Sure, Silvers announcement may have
had nothing to do with a racist owner and
everything to do with preserving advertis-
ing dollars. Whatever the reason, the NBA
nally needed to deal with Sterling and it
was Silver who was willing to take the
drastic steps.
What will the NFL and MLB do?

but Giberton induced Will Reilly to y out to
center to end the rst-inning threat.
In the second, Charlie Boyden led off with
a walk. AKyle Johnson sacrice bunt moved
him to second, but Chris Lee ew out to cen-
ter for the second out. Andrew Robinson and
Johnston drew back-to-back walks to load
the bases again, ending Gibertons day.
Vallero turned to Pratt, who got a grounder
on the rst pitch he threw for an out to end
the threat.
It was a sign of things to come as Pratt
mowed down the SHPbatters. He threw a ve-
pitch third, 10 more in the fourth, 11 in the
fth, 12 more in the sixth and three more in
the seventh, allowing just two hits and strik-
ing out three before Seubert came in to shut
the door to earn his rst save of the year.
[Pratt] gave us a big lift, Vallero said.
SHP is a great program.
With Pratt in control on the mound, it took
the Carlmont offense a few innings to gure
out Johnston.
That guy (Johnston) they threw was as
good as weve seen, Vallero said.
Said Franceschi: [Johnston has] been
great for us all year long. Hes kept us in
games, kept it close. Hes probably been our
teams MVP.
It was Callahan, a backup catcher, who rst
solved Johnston and ignited a Scots rally in
the bottom of the third. Callahan picked up
the Scots rst hit of the game, a single to
left, to lead off the inning. ANick Thompson
sacrice bunt moved courtesy runner Billot
into scoring position to bring up leadoff hit-
ter Aaron Albaum, who cracked a double into
the left-center eld gap for an RBI. Albaum
would later end up scoring from third on a
passed ball.
[Callahan] is not foreign to being a con-
tributor, Vallero said. What a way to
respond. Hes a competitor. He stayed ready
for an opportunity. Hes been dying to get
out there and compete.
Callahan would add a double in the fth to
be the only Scots player to nish with two
hits.
In the sixth, it was Billot who came
through. Normally a starter, Billot started
the game on the bench and came into the
game in the top of the fth. In the bottom of
the sixth, he came to the plate with Alex
Pennes on second base. Pennes reached on
an error and moved to second on a sacrice
bunt.
With Billot facing a 2-1 count, he crushed
a Johnston offering deep into the left-eld
corner, staying just fair and hopping over
the fence for an RBI, ground-rule double and
a 3-0 Carlmont lead.
[Billot has] started every game and he was
a little upset (he wasnt in the starting line-
up), Vallero said. I went up to him, put my
arm around his shoulder and said, You might
not have an impact early in the game, but
theres no reason you cant make an impact
late, so stay ready. He said, Youre right.
I think were starting to hit our stride
right now.
SCOTS
NATHAN MOLLAT/DAILY JOURNAL
Carlmonts AaronAlbaum beats the throw to SHP pitcher Will Johnston to score the Scots rst run in a 3-0 Carlmont win over the Gators.
According to Coach Cotla, because she was
running a fever, he had a mind to call up a
pitcher from the frosh-soph squad. However,
South Citys frosh-soph pitcher, freshman
Natty Cerecedes, had her wisdom teeth
removed earlier in the week.
So, with Cotlas gutsy performance, South
City didnt have to turn to its emergency
pitcher Baxter.
They told me I might have to go in and
pitch and Im not a pitcher, Baxter said.
Baxter may as well have pitched because she
did pretty much everything else. She was on
base all day long. The freshman leadoff hitter
reached base in all ve of her plate appear-
ances, going 2 for 2 with three walks while
scoring four times.
Behind the plate, Baxter was a game-chang-
er as well. She gunned down one would-be
base stealer in the third and was ring throws
behind base runners to keep the Colts run-
ning game in check throughout.
Thats probably like my favorite thing to
do, Baxter said. My arm has gotten a lot bet-
ter lately. Its fun when you can get the out.
Then in the fth, Baxter turned in the play
of the game by thoroughly preventing El
Caminos Sara Baros from crossing the plate
on a potential home run. Baros his a booming
y to left eld, but South City gunned her
down at the plate on a relay from left elder
Kiyani Punzal to shortstop Cruz to Baxter,
who completely sacriced her body to block
the dish while gathering the relay throw from
Cruz to apply the tag on a bang-bang play.
El Camino rallied in the seventh, with
Alicia Ortega leading off the frame by smok-
ing a home run to left. After the Colts pushed
another run across on an RBI single by Ashley
Jimenez, Cotla buckled down to induce a pop-
up behind the mound which she caught on the
run to end it.
Its always fun playing against South
City, El Camino head coach Hazel
Quintianilla said. Its a little bit more
intense, of course. The rst time we played
them we didnt do so well. [This] time,
although we lost, we did a whole lot better. We
played like a better team.
With the win, second-place South City (5-2
in league, 11-6 overall) is currently a half
game back of rst-place Terra Nova in the
Peninsula Athletic League Ocean Division.
The Tigers (5-1, 7-10) travel to Jefferson
Thursday. South City has ve games remain-
ing on the Ocean Division schedule.
This was a big one for us because it keeps
us right in the hunt, Coach Cotla said. Were
actually just one game behind Terra Nova
because we [lost to them earlier this season].
If we can play good and run the table, our last
game is against them at Terra Nova. So, that
can mean something.

Atletico beats Chelsea 3-1, plays Real
Madrid in Champions League nal
LONDON A season of the unexpected
for Atletico Madrid will end with its rst
Champions League nal in 40 years and
against no less than its hometown rival.
Having already broken up the established
order of Spanish soccer, the capitals No. 2
team overpowered Chelsea 3-1 Wednesday
night on goals by Adrian Lopez, Diego
Costa and Arda Turan.
Real Madrid, seeking a record 10th title,
will play Atletico at Lisbon on May 24 in
the second straight one-nation Champions
League nal and the rst that is a city derby.
Theyre a very powerful club used to
those big European nights, Atletico coach
Diego Simeone said. Its been many years
for us as a club, so itll be a new experience,
but were keen and excited.
In its only previous appearance in the
European nal, Atletico lost a replay to
Bayern 4-0 in 1974 after a 0-0 tie.
Also seeking its rst La Liga title since
1996, Atletico has a four-point lead over
second-place Barcelona with three games
left and is six points ahead of Real, which
has four matches remaining.
In La Liga this season, Atletico won 1-0
at Real Madrid in September and tied 1-1 at
home in March. Real swept their Copa del
Rey matches in February 3-0 and 2-0.
Last May, Atletico beat Real in the Copa
del Rey nal, ending a 14-year, 25-game
winless streak against its rival.
Playing like we play, we are the
strongest team in the world, Atletico mid-
elder Tiago said. And we deserve what we
have in this moment.
Following a 0-0 tie in Spain last week,
Fernando Torres put Chelsea in front in the
36th minute, shooting off a cut-back pass
from Cesar Azpilicueta and beating goal-
keeper Thibaut Courtois with a 10-yard shot
that deected off Mario Suarez. Torres, who
has just 10 goals this season, didnt cele-
brate after scoring against his former team.

WHATS ON TAP
But a hooking call on Tommy Wingels
negated that power play and Logan Couture
then got called for an elbowing penalty, giv-
ing Los Angeles a two-man advantage for 6
seconds. Before Wingels could get back into
the play, Doughty tied it when he beat Niemi
from the faceoff circle.
The Sharks had three more power plays in
the second period to give them a chance to
go back ahead but Los Angeles killed every
one of them with Quick robbing Marleau
with a glove save on the goal line to thwart
San Joses best chance.
That save was emblematic of a remarkable
turnaround this series for Quick, who allowed
16 goals the rst three games but held the
Sharks to just ve over the nal four wins.
The Kings responded after the fourth
penalty kill when last years Game 7 hero
Justin Williams found Kopitar, who made a
nifty move to beat Niemi with a backhand to
give him points in all seven games this
series.
Toffolis goal in the opening minutes of
the third period off a pretty no-look feed
from Pearson gave the Kings insurance and
they tightened things up the rest of the way
to seal the win.
Brown and Pearson added empty-netters
late to seal the win.
NOTES: The Kings became the fth team
to beat the same opponent in Game 7 in con-
secutive seasons. ... Both teams were with-
out a key defenseman as San Joses Marc-
Edouard Vlasic missed his second straight
game with an upper-body injury and Willie
Mitchell was out for Los Angeles after get-
ting hurt in Game 6.

To get the most out of any organic fertil-
izer, keep in mind how plants feed and how
these fertilizers act in the soil.
The bulk of a plants feeder roots
whether its a midget marigold or a mighty
oak lie just beneath the surface, so gen-
erally there is no need to dig fertilizer deep
into the soil. Anyway, low oxygen levels
there would retard microbial growth, which
is necessary to unlock nutrients from most
organic fertilizers.
TO DIG OR NOT TO DIG
An exception to that no dig rule is when
phosphorus levels are low, as indicated by a
soil test or stunted plants that are purplish
when young or late to ripen. (Cold soil in
spring also can cause a phosphorus de-
ciency, a temporary one that abates as soon
as soil warms and roots start reaching out.)
Phosphorus moves very slowly in the soil,
so the only way to get it quickly into the
root zone is to mix it into the top 6 to 12
inches of soil.
Once a soil is up to snuff with phospho-
rus, periodic surface applications can trick-
le down through the soil fast enough to
maintain adequate levels throughout the
root zone.
TIME YOUR FEEDING
When should you apply organic fertiliz-
ers? Remember that the nutrients in most of
them are initially insoluble and in forms
that plants cannot use. Account for the time
lag between application and nutrient release
by spreading organic fertilizers a few weeks
before planting. Even a few months before
planting, or way back late last fall.
Because soil microorganisms need time,
warmth and moisture to release nutrients
from organic fertilizers, plants may have to
wait to eat in dry soil. Of course, plants

Theres no time like the present,
especially when it comes to spring
gardening. Many garden chores are
time sensitive, especially those
involving plants.
Planting, transplanting, dividing
and pruning plants at the appropriate
time of year not only makes those
jobs easier; it can also determine the
difference between success and fail-
ure.
Such is the case with transplanting
perennials. The cool temperatures of
early spring, combined with ample
moisture in the ground and increased
daylight, provide optimal growing
conditions for garden perennials.
These same conditions can also help
reduce transplanting stress.
Now that the ground has thawed
(after this last winter I wondered if
that would ever happen), many herba-
ceous perennial plants are showing
signs of new growth at their crowns.
Herbaceous perennials are those that
die back to the ground every fall, and
the crown in most cases is where the
plants roots and the surface of the
soil meet.
Once perennial plants exhibit
signs of growth from the crown, it is
generally OK to transplant them. In
fact, for many perennials the sooner
you transplant them after they show
signs of life, the better.
Digging up a plant inevitably sev-
ers roots, which can stress a plant.
Roots not only anchor a plant in
place but they also transport water
and nutrients to leaves and stems
above ground. When conditions are
favorable, most plants quickly grow
new roots to replace those that are
damaged.
Early in the season perennial
plants have yet to produce abundant
amounts of growth. They therefore
have fewer leaves from which to lose
moisture and less demand for water
from their roots.
Many perennials, if transplanted
early enough in the season, will be
no worse for the wear after being
moved. They will flower in their new
homes without skipping a beat.
Transplanting too late in the season,
however, can cause plants to abort
their flowering cycles in response to
the stress of not having enough roots
to support new growth.
Planting, as with transplanting,
tends to be less stressful for most
cold hardy plants when done early in
the season, rather than later.
Trees, shrubs and perennials that
are in containers or have their roots
wrapped in burlap have the same
challenges that a transplanted peren-
nial has; they need to send out new
roots into the ground to support new
growth above ground.
Generally speaking, the larger the
plant the slower the root system
grows. Keep this in mind for newly
planted trees and shrubs, especially
during the first season they are plant-
ed. Your new tree may not require
extra watering during the spring
when regular rainfall occurs, but it
will benefit greatly from regular
watering in July and August when it is
hot and dry.
Planting in early spring is ideal for
almost any plant. Cool, moist earth
is ideal for forming new roots.
Planting as early as the ground can be
worked, provided the soil is not
waterlogged, often yields best results
especially with trees.
Planting can certainly be success-
ful later in the season, but keep in
mind that trees, shrubs and perenni-
als alike need moisture around their
root zones in order to grow new
roots. Increased temperatures during
the summer months also cause plants
to lose moisture through their leaves
at a rapid rate, often before they have
grown root systems large enough to
supply the extra demand.
If youre planning to plant new
trees or shrubs, relocate garden
perennials to new locations or plant
new ones, dont waste the ideal con-
ditions of spring. Your best chances
for success are while the cool weather
lasts.
If youre planting and moving perennials, time is of the essence
Transplanting trees and herbaceous perennials is best done
in the cool early spring.

grow but little in dry soil, so their fertilizer
needs are less. In this case, watering not
only quenches a plants thirst, but also
makes food available.
Occasionally, you may have to tailor
your fertilizer to special conditions. For
instance, a spell of unseasonably cool
weather in spring slows microbial activi-
t y. If you must spur plant growth then,
apply a light application of some soluble
organic fertilizer whose nutrients are
quickly available blood meal or fish
emulsion, for example.
A quick-acting fertilizer might also be
needed when a plant is so hungry that it
actually shows symptoms of starvation,
such as yellowing, older leaves. Leaves can
absorb nutrients directly, and for a really
quick effect, you could spray a soluble
organic fertilizer such as seaweed extract or
sh emulsion right on leaves. Avoid plant
injury by reading label directions and fol-
lowing specied rates carefully.
Consider using quick-acting fertilizers as
quick xes only. Build up good reserves of
nutrients in your soil and such applications
will be unnecessary.
Consider the slow action of organic fertil-
izers as a benet. You only need to apply
them once a year and, because heat and
warmth spur microbial activity and plant
growth, the nutrients are released in sync
with plant needs.
SIMPLIFY, SIMPLIFY
As I point out in the fertilizer section of
my book Weedless Gardening (Workman
Publishing), spreading an inch of compost
or a few inches of leaves, wood chips or
some other organic mulch over the ground
each year will usually provide all the nour-
ishment your plants need.
The hungriest parts of the garden are veg-
etable and formal ower beds, so I like to
feed the ground there with compost, which
is an organic material relatively rich in
nutrients. Less needy are trees and shrubs,
informal owers and wildowers; here, any
organic mulch, from wood ships to straw to
pine needles, will sufce. Over the years,
the compost or other organic mulches will
enrich the soil to offer a spectrum of nutri-
ents available to plants, a much wider spec-
trum that would be available from any chem-
ical fertilizer.
In naturally poor soils, some additional,
more concentrated, nitrogen fertilizer
might just might also be needed for a
year or more until the soil is up to snuff.
Soybean meal or alfalfa meal is usually sold
as an animal feed, but sprinkled over the
ground just before some organic mulch is
applied its a convenient, nourishing and
organic feed for plants also. Apply a cou-
ple of pounds per hundred square feet.

over the last 10 years or so, so its become
kind of a niche market.
Fishermen earn more when they sell off
their boat and Bunch said last year rates
were $8 to $10 per pound for a whole sh
while wholesalers offered as low as $5.25.
Prices uctuate throughout the season and
this years wont be determined until
salmon are unloaded and the market heats
up.
Effects of the drought
Jim Anderson, commercial sherman and
captain of the Allaine, is involved in
salmon conservation and advocating for the
local shing community in Half Moon Bay.
The amount of catchable fish, harbor
rates, sh buying fees and the potential
release of old frozen salmon could con-
tribute to what a sherman can expect to
earn, Anderson said.
To promote healthy salmon populations
and combat drought conditions, govern-
ment and local agencies are releasing juve-
nile salmon from hatcheries down river or
into the ocean. A program in Half Moon
Bay began three years ago to help sustain
the local industry. Last year, about 420,000
juvenile salmon were released into nets off
the dock and this year another 360,000,
Anderson said.
Because salmon take about three years to
fully grow, they expect to gather data from
the released salmon with coated wire tags,
Anderson said.
Were hoping to see what the survival
rate is, what the catchability is on the sh
and how many go back to the hatchery and
how many stray and all those issues that are
really concerns of the sheries. Well be
able to track all these things, Anderson
said. Its been amazing to see [people] get
together and deal with the drought. Its real-
ly neat that the different agencies have
come up with contingency plans.
The drought has affected river ow rates
and water temperatures making conserva-
tion efforts more critical then ever,
Anderson said.
Anderson said he and Mike McHenry,
owner of the unloading station Pillar Point
Fisheries, have been able to disperse anoth-
er 400,000 from McHenrys boat under the
Golden Gate.
McHenry said he owns a private hoist on
Johnson Pier and makes his living through
ofoading fees.
Fish buying fees
About two years ago, the San Mateo
County Harbor District raised Pillar Point
Harbors sh buying fees to some of the
highest in the state.
Now, Pillar Point Fisheries, Morning Star
Fisheries and Three Captains Sea Products
all pay an extra $400 a month in base rent
and for the rst time became subject to
ofoading fees.
McHenry said depending on what hes
unloading, hes having to pay a third of his
prot to the harbor. Anderson and McHenry
say the inated costs trickle down to the
shermen and are driving some away.
My thoughts are [the district is] in the
harbor business, the berth business, the
lease business, etc. Dont try and get a piece
of the shermans action. Theyre the guys
taking the risk, theyre the ones that dont
come home at night, McHenry said.
Anderson and McHenry said the San
Francisco and Moss Beach harbors dont
charge any ofoading fees. They fear local
sherman will go elsewhere and Pillar Point
Harbor will nd its pushing out those who
have supported it for decades.
When they raised the slip fees and the
overnight fees they pretty much drove the
salmon eet away, Anderson said.
When the sh buying leases were redrafted
in 2012, a provision allowing the three
renters to have a second hoist was included
and last month the Three Captains installed
another in the center of the pier. Some have
speculated the private new hoist in a prime
location was a perk, will be inconvenient
for others and gives Three Captains an
unfair advantage.
Off-the-boat sales
Anderson and Bunch said they would rst
focus on off-the-boat sales because thats
where theyll see the most prot .
Bunch said depending on the harvest,
what he cant sell off the boat hell sell to a
boutique buyer who works out of San
Francisco and sells to high-end restaurants
eager for fresh, local product.
The shermen encourage the public to
pack a cooler full of ice, spend an enjoyable
day on the coast and take home fresh
salmon that supports the countys busiest
harbor.
One of the long term goals of this off-
the-boat sales, and this is one of the only
harbors that does it, is to get more and more
people coming [to Pillar Point] to buy
sh because they know theyre getting a
premium product, Bunch said.

any given time, download the free FishLine

up and up just like during the dot-com
boom, she said. People are willing
to pay the prices because theres such
limited inventory. ... In any given
week, well run out of one-bedrooms or
dont have any studios available. It
really sort of cycles.
She notes houses get snatched up
pretty quickly. Clients are having to
make some concessions to nd a place
to live too. She leased a house in
Burlingame last year with no heat.
Theres something out there for
everything, she said. Whether
theres no heat or its little tiny one-
bedrooms that people will rent.
Those like Mark Moulton, executive
director of the Housing Leadership
Council of San Mateo County, say the
discussion of housing in the county
needs to be reframed and seen as an
opportunity. His group works to accel-
erate the production of new homes in
the county at all affordability levels to
create opportunities and a viable quali-
ty of life.
Lets ask, Who needs housing? he
wrote in an email. Why do they need
it? Why does housing at the level
they can afford to pay, not now exist in
San Mateo County? Take a look at the
downtown specic plan in Redwood
City. Take a look at the Grand
Boulevard Initiative. Ask, Is San
Mateo County together as 21 jurisdic-
tions a place that can discuss the
opportunity to grow our rate of hous-
ing production to meet our jobs
growth?
There needs to be a forum to discuss
growing housing production, Moulton
said.
In the context of the recent local
housing element updates, a coalition
of groups, including the Housing
Council, Greenbelt Alliance and
Sustainable San Mateo County, sent
letters to each of the countys city
councilmembers, along with a list of
policies that may help the situation.
We believe that the implications of
these high housing costs for our com-
munity are serious and profound, the
letter dated March 27 stated. They are
regularly cited as one of the key con-
straints to economic development in
San Mateo County.
More development in priority areas
and other transit-served locations
carry with it the risk of displacement
of existing low-income populations,
the groups wrote. Potential policies
recommended to the councils by the
groups included committing to devel-
opment without displacement; consid-
ering displacement risks early in the
development process; focusing on
both direct displacement and indirect
displacement; stabilizing existing
lower income residents/housing; con-
sidering rent stabilization, just cause
eviction ordinances, one-for-one
replacement of any housing removed
from the supply and condominium
conversion controls; and making
affordable housing a key component
of development strategy from the
beginning.
Meanwhile, the countys homeless
rate has risen 12 percent since 2011,
according to a report from the countys
Health and Human Services Agency,
compiled in January 2013. There are
2,281 homeless people in the county
as of January, with 1,299 unsheltered
homeless people and 982 sheltered
homeless people, according to the
report. The next homelessness count
will be conducted in January 2015.
The number of people seeking shel-
ter space doesnt seem to have changed
much since the last count, said Wendy
Goldberg, homeless and shelter care
manager at the Human Services
Agency. One thing that has changed is
that the Project WeHOPE shelter in
East Palo Alto changed from being a
seasonal shelter from Nov. 15 through
April 15 to year round through county
funding, making 50 extra beds avail-
able.
There is an increase in the number
of beds available in county year round,
which is great, she said. There still
are people waiting to get into the shel-
ters who are staying with friends or
staying in a motel.
There are usually about 40-60 people
per night who come and request shelter
space and arent able to get immediate
shelter, she said.

apartment rents in the county visit

downtown beautication project rst
began in April 2013, reduced parking,
fewer patrons and a torn-up street were
among the complaints from business
owners. From now until May 2, there
will be sidewalk work and streetscape
work on the eastern half of the block
between Primrose Road and El Camino
Real on the 1400 block of Burlingame
Avenue.
We are all about serving happiness
and this construction on Burlingame
Avenue just isnt a happy or welcom-
ing experience for our guests,
Jonathan Kaplan, founder and CEO of
The Melt, said in a prepared statement.
We look forward to welcoming
Burlingame residents to our other Bay
Area locations. In the fall, we look
forward to celebrating with a grand
reopening when the construction on
Burlingame Avenue is complete.
The city understands from where the
company is coming, said Mayor
Michael Brownrigg.
Weve tried our very best to run a
major construction project with as lit-
tle disruption as possible, but we all
went in with our eyes open and knew
this was going to be hard, he said.
We will have their block done pretty
soon, so life will get better for them.
Once the construction moved to our
block in January, the dust and debris
didnt create a happy or welcoming
experience for guests and The Melt
staff, the company said. In addition to
the work being done on the eastern
half of the block, there is also side-
walk and streetscape being done on
the western half of the 1400 block.
There is a partial closure of the inter-
section at Primrose Road and El
Camino Real.
All Burlingame residents who visit
other locations will receive a compli-
mentary ice cone with any Melt pur-
chase. All Burlingame employees will
be temporarily relocated to the
Stanford and Redwood City stores. The
store will use this as opportunity for a
few renovations but other than that, it
is simply closing the space temporari-
l y, Kaplan said.
The Melt rst opened and has a menu
that includes sandwiches such as The
Classic with aged cheddar on white
bread and The Mission that includes
pepper jack cheese and jalapeos on
sourdough bread. The franchise rst
opened in San Franciscos SOMA
neighborhood in 2011.
The 14- to 16-month beautication
of Burlingame Avenue includes more
pedestrian-friendly features, with side-
walks widened from 10 to 16 feet, more
landscaping and outside dining space.
Parking is moving from slanted to par-
allel and the streets two lanes will be
thinned to a total of 20 feet. The $16.5
million project is expected to be com-
pleted by the end of summer.

Knight is now facing a potential
second strike if convicted.
Knight, who has seven
prior convictions, was
arrested Feb. 15 in Daly
City on suspicion of pos-
sessing a stolen car. He was
given an April 3 prelimi-
nary hearing date at the
South San Francisco court-
house and released on
$50,000 bail.
The day before the hear-
ing, Knight reportedly
stole a Honda Accord in
Daly City which police
found parked on the street.
The Vehicle Theft Task
Force later secretly placed a
tracker on the car which
Knight drove April 3 to the
courthouse.
He obviously wanted to
make sure he didnt fail to
appear, District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe said.
At his hearing, Knights
case was continued so he
left. Task force agents
arrested him after he got in
the car to drive away. The
car ignition had been punched out
with a screwdriver which police
reported finding on the floorboard.
Knight has pleaded not guilty in
the new case but was held to answer
on all charges after an April 15 pre-
liminary hearing. He appeared in
court Wednesday to set a June 16 jury
trial and is also due back May 2 for a
preliminary hearing in the older case.
Wagstaffe expects the two to be
scheduled together in the future.
Knight remains in custody on
$100,000 bail.

DUBLIN Police in Northern Ireland
arrested Sinn Fein party leader Gerry Adams
on Wednesday over his alleged involvement
in the Irish Republican Armys 1972 abduc-
tion, killing and secret burial of a Belfast
widow.
Adams, 65, conrmed his own arrest in a
prepared statement and described it as a vol-
untary, prearranged interview.
Police long had been expected to question
Adams about the killing of Jean
McConville, a 38-year-old mother of 10
whom the IRA killed with a single gunshot
to the head as an alleged spy.
According to all authoritative histories of
the Sinn Fein-IRAmovement, Adams served
as an IRAcommander for decades, but he has
always denied holding any position in the
outlawed group.
I believe that the killing of Jean
McConville and the secret burial of her body
was wrong and a grievous injustice to her
and her family, Adams said. Well publi-
cized, malicious allegations have been made
against me. I reject these. While I have
never disassociated myself from the IRAand
I never will, I am innocent of any part in the
abduction, killing or burial of Mrs.
McConville.
Reecting the embarrassment associated
with killing a widowed mother, the IRA did
not admit the killing
until 1999, when it
claimed responsibility
for nearly a dozen slay-
ings of long-vanished
civilians and offered to
try to pinpoint their
unmarked graves.
McConvilles children
had been told she aban-
doned them, and they
were divided into different foster homes.
Her remains were discovered only by acci-
dent near a Republic of Ireland beach in
2003. The womans skull bore a single bul-
let mark through the back of the skull, and
forensics ofcer determined shed been shot
once through back of the head with a rie.
Adams was implicated in the killing by
two IRA veterans, who gave taped inter-
views to researchers for a Boston College
history archive on the four-decade Northern
Ireland conict. Belfast police waged a two-
year legal fight in the United States to
acquire the interviews, parts of which
already were published after the 2008 death
of one IRAinterviewee, Brendan Hughes.
Boston College immediately handed over
the Hughes tapes. The college and
researchers fought unsuccessfully to avoid
handover tapes of the second IRA intervie-
wee, Dolours Price, who died last year.
Both Hughes and Price agreed to be inter-
viewed on condition that their contents
were kept condential until their deaths.

LONDON Bob Hoskins never lost his
Cockney accent, even as he became a glob-
al star who charmed and alarmed audiences in
a vast range of roles.
Short and bald, with a face he once com-
pared to a squashed cabbage, Hoskins was
a remarkably versatile performer. As a
London gangster in The Long Good
Friday, he moved from bravura bluster to
tragic understatement. In Who Framed
Roger Rabbit, he cavorted with a cast of
animated characters, making technological
trickery seem seamless and natural.
A family statement released Wednesday
said Hoskins had died in a hospital the night
before after a bout of pneumonia. He was 71
and had been diagnosed with Parkinsons
disease in 2012.
Helen Mirren, who starred alongside
Hoskins in The Long Good Friday, called
him a great actor and an even greater man.
Funny, loyal, instinctive, hard-working,
with that inimitable energy that seemed like
a spectacular rework rocket just as it takes
off.
I personally will miss him very much,
London will miss one of her best and most
loving sons, and Britain will miss a man to
be proud of, Mirren said.
The 56 (1.68 meters tall) Hoskins, who
was built like a bullet, specialized in tough
guys with a soft center, including the ex-con
who chaperones Cathy Tysons escort in
Neil Jordans 1986 film Mona Lisa.
Hoskins was nominated for a best-actor
Academy Award for the role.
Neil Jordans Mona Lisa and Bob
Zemeckis Who Framed Roger Rabbit were
just two of the films that showed Bob
Hoskins tremendous range, said Steven
Spielberg, who produced Roger Rabbit
and later directed Hoskins in his Peter Pan
tale Hook.
