It looks like a new effort to attract
the prestigious Crystal Springs
Uplands School to Belmont has
failed, Councilwoman Coralin
Feierbach told the Daily Journal
yesterday.
We tried, Feierbach said.
S o me t h i n g
good could have
happened.
CSUS Board
of Trustees
President Tony
Stayner asked
Feierbach to
take the item off
the April 23
agenda for the City Councils next
meeting, she told the Daily Journal
yesterday.
The school leased 6-8 and 10
Davis Drive in the Belmont Hills
while it went through a lengthy
planning process to expand the
Hillsborough-based private school
by building a new middle school
campus on property that now hous-
es ofces.
But since the school does not own
the property, it has decided to not
move forward with the process for
now in Belmont, school spokes-
woman Andrea Edwards wrote the
Daily Journal in an email.
The schools main priority has
been to grow its campus and its of-
cials worked with Belmont for 18
months on plans to build a new mid-
dle school until the council voted
against it in October on a 3-2 vote,
with Feierbach voting no.
Feierbach, however, recently
approached the school as she heard
the Davis Drive properties were
about to be sold to a developer with
Belmonts renewed bid to lure school fails

Emergency crews and Pacic Gas and Electric workers were busy at work after a gas line break Wednesday
morning shut down trafc at El Camino Real and Third Avenue in San Mateo.
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Drivers near downtown San
Mateo experienced major traffic
delays Wednesday morning on El
Camino Real between Third and
Fourth avenues after a Caltrans sub-
contractor dug into a 2-inch steel
natural gas pipeline, according to
Pacic Gas and Electric.
A call reporting the break in the
line came in about 8:40 a.m.
Wednesday, PG&E spokeswoman
Brittany Chord said. Crews were on
scene by 8:55 a.m.
For a few hours, traffic was
stopped in both directions of El
Camino Real. The gas line was
completely shut off at 10:54 a.m.,
according to Chord. Just before
noon, workers started slowly
reopening most lanes of El Camino
Real. One lane of trafc in each
direction was shut down, however,
to allow workers to x the break
throughout the afternoon.
At 9:45 a.m., San Mateo police
Sgt. Dave Norris said the situation
was contained with no danger to the
community.
Police and fire personnel also
responded to the call and helped
evacuate two buildings the Bank
of America at 300 S. El Camino
Real and the U.S. Bank at 136
Second Ave. as well as notify
residents of a shelter in place, Norris
said later in the day.
Gas service to those two buildings
was restarted in afternoon, said
Chord.
Caltrans did not return a call for
comment to get details about the
project underway on El Camino
Real.

Friars Club to honor Don
Rickles for comedy career
LOS ANGELES The Friars Club is
honoring Don Rickles with a lifetime
achievement award.
The entertainers
group said
Wednesday it will
celebrate the 86-
year-old comedian at
its annual awards
ceremony at the
Waldorf Astoria
Hotel in New York.
Bob Costas, Tony
Danza, Kathy Grifn, Bob Newhart,
Regis Philbin and Joan Rivers are among
those set to participate in the honors on
June 24.
Rickles started his career in the 1950s
and has worked with generations of leg-
ends, including Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope
and Lucille Ball. He still appears on the
late-night shows of Jay Leno, David
Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel and Craig
Ferguson.
Joseph Zappala, chairman of the Friars
Foundation, said the Rickles celebration
will live forever in club history.
Cops: Men toss dead
groundhog, grouse into bar
BROOKVILLE, Pa. Police in one
western Pennsylvania town are investi-
gating a case of bar kill: a groundhog and
a grouse, both dead, tossed into a tavern
by unsatised customers.
The (Dubois) Courier-Express reports
that the animals were tossed into Bills
Bar hours apart Sunday in Brookville,
about 70 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.
Brookville police Chief Ken Dworek
tells the Associated Press that the sus-
pects are an underage man who was
refused service at the bar and another
who was turned away because of an
alcohol problem.
The chief says such use of animals is a
fairly common problem in Brookville.
He says, for example, a guy will get in
an argument and put a dead squirrel on
his girlfriends doorknob, that kind of
thing.
Police: Mans bad
idea results in crash
JAMESTOWN, N.Y It turns out
coasting an SUV with no brakes down-
hill to a scrap yard isnt a good idea after
all.
Police say a 28-year-old man found
that out Tuesday evening when he
attempted to drive an SUV to a scrap
yard in Jamestown, 60 miles south of
Buffalo.
Officers tell The Post-Journal of
Jamestown that the man told them he
had disconnected the battery before
coasting down a hill to get to a nearby
scrap yard. Police say he also told them
the 1995 Chevrolet Tahoe had no brakes.
Ofcials say he was unable to stop at
an intersection and collided with another
vehicle. He and the other driver suffered
minor injuries.
The man was charged with reckless
endangerment, failure to stop at a stop
sign and having inadequate brakes.
Supermans 75th puts
spotlight on Cleveland roots
CLEVELAND The tough, blue-
collar roots of Supermans creators are
getting a fresh look on the superheros
75th anniversary.
Creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster
lived just a few blocks apart in the
Cleveland neighborhood that shaped
their teenage lives, their dreams and the
imagery of the Man of Steel.
In the citys Glenville neighborhood,
still in the throttling grip of the Great
Depression, Siegel and Shuster labored
on their creation for years before nally
selling Superman to a publisher.
The Man of Steel became a
Depression-era bootstrap strategy for the
Siegel/Shuster team, according to Brad
Ricca, a professor at nearby Case
Western Reserve University who uses
Superman in his classes.
They really just saw it as a way out,
he said.
In his upcoming book Super Boys,
Ricca says the story of Supermans cre-
ation is mostly about their friendship:
two boys dreaming of fame, riches and
girls in a time when such dreams are all
the easier to imagine because of the
crushing economic misery.

Getting a parcel tax passed in Millbrae is a
goal that has eluded school ofcials for years.
But, after a number of years of tight budg-
ets, the district has been considering another
go. Superintendent Linda Luna has been
working with the public in recent months to
discuss budget challenges as well as changes
coming to education. Then, the Millbrae
Elementary School District polled the com-
munity, results of which were shared with the
Board of Trustees this week.
Luna described the results as encouraging
for a future parcel tax to be placed on a 2014
ballot.
Much work needs to be done in order for
the board to move forward with an election.
Our parents very much support a parcel tax to
support the districts movement on 21st cen-
tury learning skills and preparation for the
Common Core and smarter balanced assess-
ment soon to come, said Luna. We must
work more on helping the community at large
to understand the districts goals and all the
changes coming to public education.
A 21-minute phone survey was given to
401 registered voters by Godbe Research.
Results showed just more than 60 percent
were supportive of a parcel tax lower than
the two-thirds required rate to pass such a
measure. Those who participated were more
likely to support a measure as the annual cost
went down. For example, a $106 annual tax
generated 46.6 percent of support while a $79
yearly levy was supported by 58.4 percent.
A parcel tax would mean more revenue for
the district, money it could use in a number of
ways.
Teacher retention is one example of how
additional money could be used.
Earlier this year, the Millbrae Education
Association declared impasse after the two
sides met for their sixth negotiation session.
The district offered a 2 percent ongoing
salary increase in exchange for a cap on
retiree health and welfare benets when a for-
mer employee reaches 65 or after 10 years of
receiving the benet, whichever comes rst.
On the other hand, teachers are requesting a 3
percent ongoing salary increase and an
increase in health and welfare benets of
$265 per month per member. Luna previous-
ly said the district couldnt afford the propos-
al.
Aside from pay for employees, new rev-
enue could also allow the district to meet
changing academic demands.
While Millbrae voters have been generally
supportive of schools, the two-thirds thresh-
old to pass a parcel tax has been too high.
Measure P, a $78-per-parcel tax put before
voters in 2009, gained 66.3 percent support.
In May 2007, voters also declined a proposed
$78 annual, ve-year parcel tax. The all-mail
ballot showed 2,743 voters.

Millbrae school officials consider new tax

A Redwood City woman accused of forging
95 checks from her employers for the neces-
sities of life took a plea deal Wednesday that
sends her to jail for 16 months on four
felonies.
Sandy Kelly Delgado, 28, was originally
charged with six crimes including grand theft
and forgery but agreed yesterday to settle the
case on forgery and burglary charges rather
than go to trial. She was immediately sen-
tenced to 16 months in prison which will be
served in the county jail.
The plea deal is a good resolution for who
she was and the facts of the
case, said District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Prosecutors alleged
Delgado stole $45,265
between 2009 and mid-
January 2013 by forging
95 checks while working
as a housekeeper and
nanny for a North Fair
Oaks family. The woman
allegedly confessed and claimed in a secretly
recorded conversation with the employer that
she needed the money for the necessities of
life, Wagstaffe said.
Delgados alleged crimes came to light
when her employer discovered a $600 check
she had not authorized, reviewed her bank
records and ultimately found 95 forged
checks.
She has been in custody in lieu of $950,000
bail and an immigration hold.

Womans backpack
stolen at gunpoint
San Mateo County sheriffs deputies are on
the lookout for a man who held up a woman
and stole her backpack in a brazen daytime
robbery in unincorporated Redwood City on
Tuesday afternoon.
At around 2:45 p.m., the 27-year-old
woman was walking in the 400 block of
Fourth Avenue near Middlefield Road in
North Fair Oaks when she heard shufing
behind her.
When she turned around, she was immedi-
ately assaulted by a Hispanic man in his 20s
who was armed with a handgun, San Mateo
County sheriffs spokeswoman Rebecca
Rosenblatt said.
The victim told authorities that the man
pointed a gun at her and demanded her back-
pack, which she gave him. He then ran away,
heading east on Fourth Avenue and then south
on Park Road, according to Rosenblatt.
Although the robbery was reported minutes
after it occurred, sheriffs deputies who can-
vassed the area were unable to locate the sus-
pect.
He is described as a thin, 6-foot-tall man
with short dark hair. He was last seen wearing
black jeans and a black, long-sleeve hoodie,
and may have been driving a late 1990s-model
green Honda Civic.
Anyone with information about the incident
is asked to contact sheriffs Detective Andrew
Armando at 363-4347.
Routine traffic stop
nets loaded firearm, narcotics
A routine trafc stop in Belmont on Tuesday
afternoon resulted in the arrest of a Hollister
man on suspicion of possessing a loaded hand-
gun and narcotics, police said Wednesday.
At around 2:25 p.m., police pulled over Luis
Mariano Hernandez, 29, in the 500 block of
Ralston Avenue. During the stop, the ofcers
located the drugs and loaded weapon, police
said.
Hernandez was booked into San Mateo
County Jail in Redwood City on multiple
charges, including being a felon in possession
of a loaded rearm, possession of narcotics for
sale, resisting or obstructing police and dis-
playing false vehicle registration, according to
police.
A 22-year-old Gilroy man who was a pas-
senger in Hernandezs car was questioned at
the scene but released.
Firefighters extinguish
two-alarm fire in San Mateo
Fireghters battled a two-alarm re at a res-
idence in San Mateo early Wednesday morn-
ing, re ofcials said.
The re was reported at 2208 Bermuda
Drive, near Fiesta Meadows Park, at about
3:40 a.m.
The re was under control by about 4:40
a.m., according to re ofcials.
The cause of the re remains under investi-
gation.
Documents: Bridge bolt
problems noted years ago
Ofcials in charge of building a new eastern
span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay
Bridge repeatedly questioned the work and
quality control of companies involved in mak-
ing long seismic safety bolts that broke while
being tightened.
In March, a third of the 96 bolts failed, and
transportation officials said it could take
months to nd the cause and x the problem,
meaning the scheduled Labor Day opening of
the new, $6.3 billion span could be in jeop-
ardy.
Hundreds of pages of documents released to
news media by the California Department of
Transportation show its inspectors found
structural integrity issues with some of the
bolts several years ago, before they were
installed.
The documents were unclear about whether
issues agged by Caltrans own inspectors in
2007 and 2008 were remedied before the bolts
were delivered and installed. The inspectors
noted that the bolts failed elongation tests for
structural integrity and said they were con-
cerned about the quality of work by a compa-
ny that galvanized the bolts to prevent corro-
sion.
Inspectors said bolts made by Painesville,
Ohio-based Dyson Corp. had failed to meet
certain standards during testing on three occa-
sions.
STATE GOVERNMENT
A bill authored by Assemblyman Rich
Gordon, D-Menlo Park, to make a San
Mateo County child-care pilot program per-
manent passed out of the Human Services
Committee Monday. The bill, co-authored by
all San Mateo County state lawmakers, will cement the program
which began after the Legislature in 2003 passed a bill allowing
exibility for family eligibility and setting fees and reimburse-
ment rates appropriate to the county. The bill will also extend
the pilot program for the city and county of San Francisco which
began seven years ago. Without Gordons legislation, the pro-
grams will end next year.

cies on the Parks and Recreation Commission. The commis-

LOCAL/STATE/NATION

MILLBRAE Our
countrys economic
roller-coaster ride
has been interesting
and historic for
sure, but also very
troubling for many
families whove not
been as financially stable as others.
Recently though Ive been observing a
phenomenon with those we serve at the
CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS. It may
be too early to confirm, but it appears that
there is a general state of confidence with
many families, along with the decisions and
choices they make during funeral
arrangements. Yes, I know you are thinking
that confidence is not a term you would
use to coincide with funeral arrangements,
but it appears to me that people I see are
tending to be more financially assured than
during the deepest years of The Great
Recession.
They say that the two things you cant
avoid are death and taxes. With that in
mind, during the economic downturn I saw a
very noticeable sense of thrift and
prudence with a lot of families who
experienced a death during that period.
Still, those who tended to cost shop at
various funeral homes selected CHAPEL
OF THE HIGHLANDS to handle funeral or
cremation arrangements. These families
found comfort with our service, and notably
with our more economic cost structure.
Now, lately the trend with families and
their funeral choices reminds me of the days
way before the recession hit. Its not that
people are utilizing their funds differently,
spending more or spending less, but that
they are more assertive and confident when
using their wallet. Seeing this over and over
gives me a good indication that something in
the economic climate is changing compared
to not that long ago.
Even though many of our honorable
elected officials in Sacramento and
Washington D.C. appear to be as inflexible
with economic issues as always, the air of
confidence with the families Ive been
dealing with means to me that these people
are feeling less pressured financially.
It is well known that when businesses do
well they hire more employees, and when
those employees are confident they will
spend their money on goods and services.
In turn, the companies that provide goods
and services will need competent employees
to create more goods, give more services,
and so onmaking a positive circle for a
healthy economy. In relation to that, after a
long period of U.S. manufacturing jobs
being sent over-seas there is news of a
growing number of companies bringing this
work back to the United States. Real Estate
values on the Peninsula remained in a good
state during the recession, but houses here
are now in demand more than ever.
Encouraging Hopeful and Positive
are words to describe the optimistic
vibrations that people are giving off. If the
community is becoming more comfortable
with spending, that indicates good health for
business and the enrichment of our
economic atmosphere. I hope Im right, so
lets all keep our fingers crossed.
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

A 36-year-old Hayward man who
shot an intoxicated marijuana seller
and his friend in the parking lot of a
Redwood City Burger King pleaded
no contest yesterday to attempted
murder and was immediately sen-
tenced to 18 years in prison.
Frank Vern Dryden, who was
originally charged with two counts
of attempted murder, also accepted
a plea deal on felony assault with a
rearm and admitted causing great
bodily injury to his victims. He was
ineligible for probation and, after
changing his previous not guilty
plea, was sentenced to 18 years in
prison with credit for 533 days.
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe
called both the
resolution and
punishment a
good outcome.
Pr os ecut or s
say Dryden
answered a
Craigslist ad
posted by a 32-
year-old man
looking to sell
marijuana to those with a medical
card and agreed to meet Dec. 4,
2011 at Burger King on Middleeld
Road to buy a half-pound. The vic-
tim reportedly had a 29-year-old
friend drive him to the meeting spot
because he had been drinking beer
all day and, after they arrived,
Dryden climbed into the back seat.
When the victim asked to see
Drydens medical marijuana card,
the man allegedly pulled out a .38
handgun to rob him and the two
struggled. Dryden shot four times
and the victim was hit in the arms.
The driver ed and was shot in the
buttocks before Dryden ran from the
area to a nearby white Buick.
The victim ran first into the
restaurant for help and then home to
hide the drugs before returning to
Burger King to report the shooting.
Both victims ultimately told police
what really happened and Dryden
was tracked through his cellphone
calls to the seller.
Dryden has been in custody with-
out bail.

SAN FRANCISCO Californias
novel law seeking to ban licensed
counselors from trying to turn gay
teens straight is boiling down to a
question over whether the therapy is
free speech or a medical treatment
that can be regulated by government.
Its the pivot point of the legal
debate, Judge Morgan Christen of the
9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
said Wednesday.
Morgan and two other judges on
the nations largest federal appel-
late court considered 90 minutes of
legal arguments over the ban on
sexual-orientation change coun-
seling of minors, which other
states are considering.
The three-judge panel is consider-
ing two challenges to the law
approved in California last fall. It
took no action Wednesday and will
issue a written ruling later.
The law was to go into effect Jan. 1,
but the court put it on hold pending its
decision.
Chief Judge Alex Kozinski noted
the U.S. Supreme Court struck down
a California ban of violent video
games because the state failed to
show a compelling reason to infringe
on game-makers free speech rights to
manufacture the products.
He said it appeared the same argu-
ment could be applied to the evidence
lawmakers relied on in passing the
prohibition on sexual-orientation
change therapy.
We really dont have anything
compelling, as I see it, Kozinski
said. Government has to have a
compelling interest in curtailing
speech.

WEST, Texas A massive explo-
sion at a fertilizer plant near Waco on
Wednesday night injured dozens of
people and sent ames shooting into
the night sky, leaving the factory a
smoldering ruin following a blast that
damaged buildings for blocks in
every direction. The explosion at
West Fertilizer in West, a community
about 20 miles north of Waco, hap-
pened shortly before 8 p.m. and could
be heard as far away as Waxahachie,
45 miles to the north.
Tommy Muska, Wests mayor, said
at a news conference three hours after
the explosion that he didnt yet know
how many people had been injured or
killed. He said buildings in a ve-
block radius from the plant were
severely damaged by the explosion.
Among the damaged buildings was
the West Rest Haven Nursing Home,
from which rst-responders evacuat-
ed 133 patients, some in wheelchairs.
We did get there and got that taken
care of, Muska said.
Information was hard to come by in
the hours after the blast, with even
Texas Gov. Rick Perry saying state
ofcials were waiting for details
about the extent of the damage.
We are monitoring developments
and gathering information as details
continue to emerge about this inci-
dent, Perry said in a statement. We
have also mobilized state resources to
help local authorities. Our thoughts and
prayers are with the people of West,
and the rst responders on the scene.
Aerial footage showed res still
smoldering in the ruins of the plant
and in several surrounding buildings,
and people being treated for injuries
on a ood-lit local football eld,
which had been turned into a staging
area for emergency responders.
Debby Marak told the Associated
Press that when she nished teaching
her religion class Wednesday night,
she noticed a lot of smoke in the area
across town near the plant, which is
near a nursing home. She said she
drove over to see what was happen-
ing, and that when she got there, two
boys came running toward her
screaming that the authorities ordered
everyone out because the plant was
going to explode.

The twin bombs at the Boston
Marathon killed three people and
wounded more than 170 on
Monday. Here are the stories of
those killed and some of the injured.
LU LINGZI: A LONG
WAY FROM HOME
She was a food fan, eager for culi-
nary discoveries. In her last blog
update the morning before the
Boston Marathon blasts, the
Chinese graduate student identied
as the attacks third victim posted a
photo of bread chunks and fruit.
My wonderful breakfast,
Boston University statistics student
Lu Lingzi wrote.
Lingzi, in her early 20s, often
shared photos of her home-prepared
meals online a blueberry-cov-
ered wafe one day, spinach sac-
chettini with zucchini on another. In
September, she showed off her rst
two-dish meal stir-fried broccoli
and scrambled eggs with tomatoes,
often cooked by Chinese students
learning how to live on their own
abroad.
Tasso Kaper, the chair of BUs
mathematics department, says Lu
loved owers and the springtime.
She had only one course left in
order to graduate.
She was standing with two friends
when the bombs went off. One was
seriously injured.
THE RICHARDS: A FAMILY
INJURED, IN MOURNING
Neighbors and friends remem-
bered 8-year-old bombing victim
Martin Richard as a vivacious boy
who loved to run, climb and play
sports like soccer, basketball and
baseball.
The boys father, Bill Richard,
released a statement thanking fami-
ly, friends and strangers for their
support following his sons death
Monday. Richards wife, Denise,
and the couples 6-year-old daugh-
ter, Jane, also suffered signicant
injuries in the blasts.
The family was watching
Mondays race and had gone to get
ice cream before returning to the
area near the nish line before the
blasts.
Denise Richard works as a librar-
ian at the Neighborhood House
Charter School, where Martin was a
third-grader and Jane attends rst
grade. Counselors were being made
available to staff and students.

Krystle Campbell was a 29-year-
old restaurant manager from
Medford. Her father, 56-year-old
William Campbell, described her as
just a very caring, very loving per-
son, and was daddys little girl.
Campbell had gone to the race
with her best friend Karen, whose
boyfriend was running in the race,
her father said.
They wanted to take a photo-
graph of him crossing the nish
line, but the explosion went off and
they were right there, he said. Its
pretty devastating.
The friend suffered a severe leg
injury.
Krystles grandmother told multi-
ple media outlets that the family
was initially told Campbell was
alive because of a name mix-up.
When her father arrived at
Massachusetts General Hospital,
however, he learned that his daugh-
ter had died.
Krystles grandmother, Lillian

BOSTON In what could be major break
in the Boston Marathon case, investigators are
on the hunt for a man seen in a department
store surveillance video dropping off a bag at
the site of the bombings, a local politician said
Wednesday.
Separately, a law enforcement ofcial con-
rmed that authorities have found an image of
a potential suspect but dont know his name.
The development less than 48 hours after
the attack, which left three people dead and
more than 170 wounded marked a possible
turning point in a case that has investigators
analyzing photos and videos frame by frame
for clues to who carried out the twin bombings
and why.
City Council President Stephen Murphy,
who said he was briefed by Boston police,
said investigators saw the image on surveil-
lance footage they got from a department store
near the nish line and matched the ndings
with witness descriptions of someone leaving
the scene.
I know its very active and very uid right
now that they are on the chase, Murphy
said. He added: They may be on the verge of
arresting someone, and thats good.
The bombs were crudely fashioned from
ordinary kitchen pressure cookers packed with
explosives, nails and ball bearings, investiga-
tors and others close to the case said.
Investigators suspect the devices were then
hidden in black duffel bags and left on the
ground.
As a result, they were looking for images of
someone lugging a dark, heavy bag.
One department store video has conrmed
that a suspect is seen dropping a bag near the
point of the second explosion and heading
off, Murphy said.
A law enforcement ofcial who was not
authorized to discuss the case publicly and
spoke to the Associated Press on the condition
of anonymity conrmed only that investiga-
tors had an image of a potential suspect whose
name was not known to them and who had not
been questioned.
Several media outlets reported that a suspect
had been identied from surveillance video
taken at a Lord & Taylor department store
between the sites of the bomb blasts.
The turn of events came with Boston in a
state of high excitement over conflicting
reports of a breakthrough.
A law enforcement ofcial briefed on the
investigation told the AP around midday that a
suspect was in custody. The ofcial, who was
not authorized to divulge details of the inves-
tigation and spoke on the condition of
anonymity, said the suspect was expected in
federal court. But the FBI and the U.S. attor-
neys ofce in Boston said no arrests had been
made.
By nightfall, there was no evidence anyone
was in custody. No one was taken to court.
The law enforcement official, who had
afrmed there was a suspect in custody even
after federal ofcials denied it, was unable to
obtain any further information or explanation.
At least 14 bombing victims remained in
critical condition. Dozens have been released
from hospitals, and ofcials at three hospitals
that treated some of the most seriously injured
said they expected all their remaining patients
to survive.
On Wednesday, investigators in white jump-
suits fanned out across the streets, rooftops
and awnings around the blast site in search of
clues. They picked through trash cans, plastic
cup sleeves and discarded sports drink dis-
pensers.
Boston remained under a heavy security
presence, and some people admitted they were
nervous about moving about in public spaces.
Tyler King, a personal trainer from
Attleboro who works in Boston, said four of
ve clients canceled on him a day earlier
because they were worried about venturing
into the city. He took the train in, but I kind
of kept my head on a swivel.

Assad accuses West
of backing al-Qaida in Syria
BEIRUT Syrias president accused the
West on Wednesday of backing al-Qaida in
his countrys civil war,
warning it will pay a price
in the heart of Europe
and the United States as
the terror network
becomes emboldened.
Bashar Assad also
lashed out at Jordan for
allowing thousands of
fighters to enter Syria
through its borders and
warned that the re will not stop at Syrias
border.
The rare TV interview with the govern-
ment-run Al-Ikhbariya channel marking
Syrias independence day comes as the
embattled presidents military is ghting to
reverse rebel advances, with a rocket attack
killing at least 12 people in a central village
on Wednesday.

BAGHDAD Iraq has executed 21 pris-

tence on enforcing capital punishment.
The prisoners were executed by hanging in
the Iraqi capital on Tuesday, according to a
statement posted on the ministrys website.
All the convicts were Iraqi al-Qaida opera-
tives who were involved in bombings, car
bomb attacks and assassinations, the state-
ment said.

WASHINGTON Senate Republicans
backed by a small band of rural-state
Democrats scuttled the most far-reaching gun
control legislation in two decades Wednesday,
rejecting tighter background checks for buyers
and a ban on assault weapons as they spurned
pleas from families of victims of last winters
school massacre in Newtown, Conn.
This effort isnt over, President Barack
Obama vowed at the White House moments
after the defeat on one of his top domestic pri-
orities. Surrounded by Newtown relatives, he
said opponents of the legislation in both parties
caved to the pressure of special interests.
A ban on high-capacity ammunition maga-
zines also fell in a series of showdown votes
four months after a gunman killed 20 elemen-
tary school children and six staff members at
Sandy Hook Elementary.
A bid to loosen restrictions on concealed
weapons carried across state lines was reject-
ed, as well.
That last vote marked a rare defeat for the
National Rie Association on a day it general-
ly triumphed over Obama, gun control advo-
cates and many of the individuals whose lives
have been affected by mass shootings in
Connecticut and elsewhere.
Some of them watched from the spectator
galleries above the Senate oor. Shame on
you, shouted one, Patricia Maisch, who was
present two years ago when a gunman in
Tucson, Ariz., killed six and wounded 13 oth-
ers, including former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
Vice President Joe Biden gaveled the Senate
back into order after the breach of decorum.
Gun control advocates, including Obama,
had voiced high hopes for signicant action
after the Newtown shootings. But the lineup of
possible legislation gradually dwindled to a
focus on background checks, and in the end
even that could not win Senate passage.
Chances in the Republican-controlled House
had seemed even slimmer.
By agreement of Senate leaders, a 60-vote
majority was required for approval of any of
the provisions brought to a vote.
The vote on the background check was 54-
46, well short of the 60 votes needed to
advance. Forty-one Republicans and five
Democrats voted to reject the plan.
The proposed ban on assault weapons com-
manded 40 votes; the bid to block sales of high
capacity ammunition clips drew 46.
The NRA-backed proposal on concealed
carry permits got 57.
In the hours before the key vote on back-
ground checks, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va.,
bluntly accused the National Rie Association
of making false claims about the expansion of
background checks that he and Sen. Pat
Toomey, R-Pa., were backing.
Gun control: No expanded background checks
By Bob Christie
PHOENIX The months since the dead-
ly Connecticut school shooting have seen
dozens of gun buyback events across the
country, with officials getting thousands of
unwanted firearms off the street and sending
them off to their destruction.
In Arizona, however, the Republican-con-
trolled Legislature is now moving to save
such guns.
Prompted by a gun buyback event in
January in Tucson, where a 2011 shooting
rampage left six dead and wounded then-
U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and 12 others,
GOP lawmakers crafted a bill that would
require local agencies to sell the firearms to
gun dealers. The bill, which has passed both
chambers of the Legislature, tightens a 2010
law that requires police to sell seized
weapons.
Dozens of buybacks have been held this
year in states from New Jersey to California,
with the efforts kick-started by recent shoot-
ings that include the massacre of 20 students
and six educators at an elementary school in
Newtown, Conn.
Theyre popular among some police and
elected officials who either pay cash or hand
out gift cards in exchange for unwanted
weapons. Theyre then destroyed, and offi-
cials say the guns are kept out of the hands of
children or thieves.
The Tucson event was championed by City
Councilman Steve Kozachik. The council
there has voted to adopt ordinances that
make it illegal to fire a gun while drunk,
required background checks at gun shows on
city property and mandated that lost or stolen
guns be reported to police.

OPINION 9
Thank you, Board of Supervisors
Editor,
In comparing its housing affordabili-
ty to any other area in the country, San
Mateo County has the regrettable dis-
tinction of being one of the least
affordable places in which to live in the
country. On April 9, the San Mateo
County Board of Supervisors made the
decision to commit its $13.5 million in
property tax revenue, formerly used for
affordable housing in redevelopment
areas, back to the purpose for which it
was originally intended. This is a huge
gesture of support for low-income fam-
ilies and seniors, who are being dis-
placed by spiraling housing costs, as
well as the homeless. Foster City and
San Mateo have already made similar
commitments and should be lauded as
well.
These matching funds will make it
possible for cities in the county to
leverage their own former redevelop-
ment funds to create much needed
affordable housing in their communi-
ties while more permanent solutions are
found.
Thank you, Supervisors Groom,
Pine, Slocum, Tissier and President
Horsley for taking this leadership posi-
tion on behalf of our community.

Brown needs to get
serious about prison reform
Editor,
Last week, the three-judge panel
charged with ending the overcrowding
crisis in California prisons issued a
strong rebuke to Gov. Browns insis-
tence that prison overcrowding [is] no
longer ... inhibit[ing] the delivery of
timely and effective health services to
inmates.
The court wisely rejected this non-
sense, creating a huge opportunity for
actual reform.
There are dozens of ways to reduce
the prison population, and the governor
should get serious about all of them.
Releasing Prop. 36 eligible strikers,
releasing terminally ill and permanent-
ly, medically-incapacitated prisoners,
implementing an older prisoner release
program, expanding the alternative cus-
tody program, good time credits and
reforming drug sentencing laws are all
good places to start.
The governor has attempted to
solve the prison crisis by stufng
people into county jails to little positive
effect. For state and county ofcials,
this ruling is a clear warning: Stop
dragging your feet and get serious
about bringing people home.
Will Gov. Brown and Jeffrey Beard,
secretary of the California Department
of Corrections and Rehabilitation, con-
tinue to dig in their heels to defend an
indefensible prison system? I hope that,
instead, they will nally demonstrate
the courage, vision and leadership we
need to make meaningful changes to
our super-sized prison system.

Letters to the editor

T
he words have now been spo-
ken and by the president
lest there be any doubt that this
attack on Marathon Day could have
been anything other than an act of ter-
rorism.
Any time bombs are used to target
innocent civilians it is an act of terror,
President Obama said Tuesday. It was a
word he seemed to avoid on Monday
however he chose to dene it.
What we dont know, however, is
who carried out this attack, or why;
whether it was planned and executed by
a terrorist organization, foreign or
domestic, or was it the act of a malevo-
lent individual, he said.
And yet we do know some things that
we did not know 24 hours earlier. We
know from the pieces of shrapnel
removed from many victims of
Mondays explosion that this was in
the manner of explosives used by ter-
rorists during the intifada created to
maim, to do maximum damage. The
explosives, nails and ball bearings were
packed into kitchen pressure cookers,
then placed in black nylon bags and left
on the ground at those two Boylston
Street locations. Similar bombs have
been used in Afghanistan, India, Nepal
and Pakistan.
How diabolically simple and how
deadly ... Young people with their
whole lives ahead of them ripped from
our community.
And today we also know that even as
our hearts ache at the loss of lives,
of futures, of our sense of safety we
have never been stronger as a commu-
nity.
An act of terror
Driven to distraction
P
ut on the Bluetooth, set down the phone and figure
out how to make the Dragon dictation software
translate spoken words into written text that
remotely resembles anything close to the actual intent.
April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month which means
law enforcement is flooding the streets and highways
while scofflaws like yours truly figure out crafty ways to
continue texting out Great American Novel equivalents
with one hand while
steering. In fact, Im tex-
ting this column as I
speak. Just kidding.
As if the distracted
driving restrictions arent
narrow enough thanks
Joe Simitian! the list
continues to grow. The
latest ban is on drivers
using their phones to
check maps which is
more frustrating that the
Highway 101 commute.
A three-judge appellate
court panel ruled the
California law cracking
down on driving and tex-
ting while driving also extends to map devices. No matter
if the driver is stuck in a traffic jam as was the man
whose $160 ticket sparked the ruling over his use of an
iPhone to find an alternative route or just looking for
the nearest In-N-Out. In the judges opinion, the phone is a
distraction whether used as an actual phone, a GPS navi-
gator, a clock or an email vessel.
Fair enough, but what about paper maps? Those are still
legal and squinting at teeny-tiny squiggly lines represent-
ing roads has got to be a lot more distracting than hen-
pecking an address into a phone screen.
There is no argument driving distractions are a real
problem and way too many accidents have a cellphone at
their core. But the problem is justifying bans on phone-
related diversions while simultaneously allowing items and
actions that at face value appear a heck of a lot more dis-
tracting: makeup application, changing the radio station,
screaming children, jumping dogs, reaching for that scarf
or hat that fell down behind the seat, coffee, successfully
navigating French fries into ketchup packets. Even feeling
around the center console to actually find the Bluetooth
earpiece is sketchy; those things are tiny.
You know another distracting, although not on-the-books
illegal, thing to do while speeding down the highway?
Shaving. And not the face.
Last month, 37-year-old Megan Barnes created a hairy
situation when she crashed into a pickup truck while
wait for it shaving her bikini line in preparation for a
date with a boyfriend. I guess she was undaunted by the
risky idea of a sharp object near vulnerable body parts.
Granted, her ex-husband was steering the vehicle, albeit
from the passenger seat, which begs the question: Why
didnt she just let him initially get behind the wheel while
she focused on the personal grooming? The kicker is that
the previous day she was convicted of driving under the
influence. Now the Florida woman has a DWS along with
her DUI which is a clean-cut case of an action a whole lot
more distracting than texting. Wheres the anti-shaving
legislation?
Same goes for former vice mayor William Blakely of
Tennessee who is also charged with recklessness behind
the wheel. Suffice to say the offending object in Blakelys
hand while speeding down the highway at 90 mph was not
a cellphone. No, instead it was well, lets just say he
was thinking with his other brain. Three women testified at
his hearing that Blakely masturbated out of an open car
window while motioning at other female drivers to lift up
their shirts.
And maps on phones are a problem?
Over in Detroit, concerned drivers alerted law enforce-
ment that another motorist was driving like a child. A
responding officer found out why; the driver was 6 years
old. Seems the boy, who never had a lesson a day in his
life but had watched his dad, swiped the family station
wagon and headed out in search of the Chinese restaurant
where hed recently eaten. After smacking a street sign,
the thoughtful tyke was heading toward a dealer to get the
bumper fixed when he was stopped by a sheriffs deputy.
He couldnt have been doing much worse than Blakely

Funny how only one of these three was breaking a specific

A
major shift in politics seems
to be underway. Elected of-
cials and candidates for ofce
are more often being judged not by
their accomplishments or lack of
accomplishments but by their private
lives. Any problem in an ofcials or a
candidates private life is treated as fair
game and cause for disqualication.
How different the countrys history
might have been if the private lives of
some of its leaders had caused their
banishment from politics. Consider
Thomas Jeffersons supposed liaison
with Sally Hemings; John Kennedys
sexual escapades; Franklin Roosevelts
dalliances with his secretary; and Bill
Clintons fun with his intern, which he
denied on national television only to
admit it later. What if Dwight
Eisenhower had been forced to resign
just prior to the Normandy invasion
because of his relationship with his
driver and assistant?
Should such activities disqualify peo-
ple from serving their country? Does
anyone doubt that Gen. David Petraeus
was an outstanding military leader and
that his disqualication from ofce may
be hurting the country? Might imper-
fections in personal lives be outweighed
by political and administrative ability?
Television news today must ll every
minute around the clock. The Internet
never sleeps either, and often doesnt
check facts. But both delight in taking
what used to be malicious gossip and
using it to destroy careers.
Politicians private lives

Big movers
By Steve Rothwell
NEW YORK Stocks fell sharply
Wednesday for the second time this week
as investors continued to worry about
how much the global economy is slow-
ing.
Commodities such as oil and copper
fared even worse than stocks.
Government bonds were a big winner as
money owed in from investors seeking
safety. That drove prices higher, and the
yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to
its low for the year at one point.
Technology, energy and bank stocks
led the market lower. Apple dropped as
traders worried about iPhone sales, Bank
of America slid after its earnings failed to
meet up to Wall Streets forecasts and
energy stocks fell as crude oil continued a
weeklong drop.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
dropped 22 points, or 1.4 percent, to
1,553. Just one week ago the index hit an
all-time high of 1,593. Its down 2.5 per-
cent since then.
Small-company and technology stocks
did worse than the overall market.
The Nasdaq composite fell the most of
the major indexes, 1.8 percent. It lost
59.96 points to 3,204.67. Apple, which
makes up 8 percent of the index, slumped
5.5 percent to $402.80, after a supplier
hinted at a slowdown in iPhone and iPad
production.
The Russell 2000 of small-company
stocks also fell 1.8 percent, to 906.
The Dow Jones Industrial average of 30
large stocks fell 138 points, or 0.9 per-
cent, to 14,618.59 Wednesday, wiping out
most of the gain it made Tuesday. The
Dow, which hit its own record of 14,865
last Thursday, is down 1.7 percent this
week after slumping 265 points on
Monday.
The price of crude oil dropped for the
fourth day in ve, falling $2.04, or 2.3
percent, to $86.68 per barrel, based on
expectations that global demand will fall.
Copper fell 11.8 cents to an 18-month
low of $3.19 a pound.
As stock prices sank, the yield on the
10-year Treasury note fell to 1.70 percent
from 1.73 percent. It went as low as 1.68
percent, matching its lowest level of the
year.
The stock market had its worst day in
five months on Monday after China
reported economic growth that was slow-
er than economists had expected. Metals,
energy and other commodities have been
hit hard this week and that has dragged
down the stocks of miners and drillers
and companies that provide services to
them. Gold fell the most in 30 years on
Monday.
Despite the big drops this week, the
Dow is still 11.6 percent higher this year,
the S&P 500 8.8 percent. And while
falling energy prices may hurt energy
stocks now, in the long run they are good
for most companies and will put more
money into the pockets of consumers and
drive spending.
Stocks surged during the rst three
months of the year on optimism that a
recovery in the housing market would
boost the economy. But the stock market
has struggled this month. Reports of
weak hiring and retail sales suggested the
economy may be cooling off.
Youve had numerous economic data
points that have been, not really disas-
trous, but, not really as robust as people
might like, said Cam Albright, director
of asset allocation at Wilmington Trust
Investment Advisors. When you have a
market as extended as this, you almost
need perfect information to make it con-
tinue to go up.
Reports this week have added to a pic-
ture of slowing global growth.
New car sales in Europe fell 10 percent
in the first quarter, the European
automakers association said Wednesday,
as high unemployment saps demand for
big purchases. Britain said Wednesday
that unemployment rose to 7.9 percent
during the three months ending in
February, an increase of 0.2 percent from
the previous three months.
On Tuesday, the International
Monetary Fund lowered its outlook for
global growth this year to 3.3 percent
from 3.5 percent, saying government
spending cuts will slow the U.S. and
European economies.
Stocks fall on signs of slowing global economy

DALLAS American Airlines played
catch-up Wednesday, resuming most
ights and even adding a handful that
werent on the schedule to help passen-
gers stranded by a massive technology
failure that grounded the carriers entire
U.S. eet a day earlier.
But some cancellations persisted, and
delays were still common. About a third
of American ights were late as of mid-
afternoon.
Americans CEO blamed Tuesdays
breakdown on a software problem that
knocked out computer systems needed for
booking ights, tracking bags, loading
and fueling planes and more.
As youd imagine, we do have redun-
dancies in our system, Tom Horton, chief
executive of parent company AMR Corp.,
said in an apology to passengers posted
on YouTube. But unfortunately in this
case, we had a software issue that impact-
ed both our primary and backup systems.
American and smaller-jet subsidiary
American Eagle still canceled more than
300 ights by mid-afternoon, according
to ight-tracking service
FlightAware.com. American said some
ights were affected by bad weather in
Chicago.
But Americans performance was a
huge improvement over Tuesday, when
the computer failure brought all depar-
tures to a halt. Flights already in the air
were allowed to continue to their destina-
tions, but planes on the ground could not
take off.
American and American Eagle can-
celed nearly 1,000 ights and delayed
another 1,100. Two-thirds of their sched-
uled ights were late or never got into the
air.

EBay grows 1Q earnings
but outlook falls short
By Barbara Ortutay
NEW YORK EBays high-ying stock price declined in
after-hours trading Wednesday after the e-commerce bell-
wether gave a cautious outlook for the current quarter due in
part to the lackluster European economy.
The company grew its earnings and revenue in the rst quar-
ter, as shoppers continued to ock to eBay.com and other sites
and mobile apps, to buy everything from cars to handbags to
wedding rings. EBays payments unit, PayPal, continued its
fast-paced growth and expansion beyond the Web to brick-
and-mortar stores. Nonetheless, eBays revenue, along with its
guidance for the current quarter, fell shy of Wall Streets
expectations.
The San Jose-based companys stock dropped by $1.70, or 3
percent, to $54.40 in after-hours trading. The stock closed
down 91 cents at $56.10 in the regular session amid a broad
market decline. That is up 10 percent since the start of the year
and more than 55 percent from a year ago.
There may be better days ahead. The companys 2013 earn-
ings guidance surpassed and revenue outlook bracketed Wall
Streets expectations. So the company thinks the second half
of the year will be stronger than the rst. EBay also recently
issued an upbeat long-term forecast, saying it expects revenue
to hit as much as $23.5 billion in 2015, up from 67 percent
from $14.1 billion in 2012.
We had a strong rst quarter, with accelerating user growth
across both Marketplaces and PayPal, and with GSI enabling
their retail clients to grow faster than e-commerce, said
President and CEO John Donahoe in a statement.
BofA closes one mortgage
lawsuit, another lingering
By Christina Rexrode
NEW YORK As soon as Bank of America puts one
mortgage-related lawsuit behind it, another always seems to
rear its head.
The bank announced Wednesday that it would pay $500 million
to settle a class-action lawsuit led by pension funds and other
investors who say they were misled about $350 billion worth of
mortgage-backed investments they bought from Countrywide, a
mortgage lender Bank of America bought in 2008. The bank por-
trayed the settlement as good news because it resolved the bulk of
securities claims related to residential mortgage-backed securities.
But nancial analysts, in a conference call to discuss the
banks rst-quarter results, peppered bank executives with
questions about another pending settlement. Bank of America
is still waiting for court approval for a similar settlement it
made with Bank of New York Mellon almost two years ago. If
it doesnt get the go-ahead, Bank of America could have to
spend more to resolve the claims.

WIN-WIN: STEPH CURRY SETS NEW 3-POINT RECORD; WARRIORS CLINCH 6TH PLAYOFF SPOT WITH WIN OVER PORTLAND >>> PAGE 13
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Carlmont baseball manager Rich Vallero
didnt feel his team was properly humbled fol-
lowing a 17-4 loss to Burlingame last Friday,
so as Saturdays practice began to unravel,
Vallero and his coaching staff got into the
Scots.
The reprimand must have paid off because
the Scots came out of the gate ring on all
cylinders Wednesday against Hillsdale. The
Scots scored four runs in the rst and starting
pitcher Greg Hubbell had one of his best starts
of the season as they went on to beat the
Knights 8-2.
The message was sent (at Saturdays prac-
tice), Vallero said. We had goals at the
beginning of the season and we still want to
accomplish them.
Hubbell, who has struggled with his com-
mand at times this season, got Carlmont (6-1
PAL Bay, 15-3 overall) started on the right
foot, retiring Hillsdale (3-4, 11-9) in order in
the top of the rst. Hillsdale, on the other
hand, could not have started any worse in the
bottom half of the rst inning. Knights start-
ing pitcher Brandon Butcher hit Carlmonts
Kai Haake with his rst pitch of the game and
things went downhill from there as six of the
rst seven Scots batters reached base and they
scored four runs to give Hubbell a comfort-
able lead.
While Carlmont went on to add more insur-
ance as the game went along, the early advan-
tage allowed Hubbell to pound the strike zone.
The senior pitched into the seventh inning,
allowing just two runs while scattering four
hits.
I think [Hubbell] set the tempo and when
you can score a couple of runs early, it
allowed him to settle in, Vallero said.
[Hillsdale is] a very good offensive club. Any
time you can take a good-hitting team and
hold them to two runs, its a testament to the
pitching.
After Haake was hit by the pitch, Tanner
Westmoreland walked and newcomer Aaron
Albaum singled to center to drive in the rst
run of the inning. Nick Rich followed with an
RBI single before Johnathan Corvello doubled
home the third run of the inning. Brandon
Moyle, running for the catcher Corvello,
would eventually steal home on the back end
of a double steal to give Carlmont a 4-0 lead
after just one inning.

MILWAUKEE Giants shortstop Brandon
Crawford insisted he would make the same
throw again. His manager would rather he
make a different choice.
Pinch-hitter Blake Lalli lifted a long single
in the bottom of the ninth inning Wednesday
night that sent the Milwaukee Brewers to a 4-
3 victory over San Francisco after a key error
by Crawford.
Jonathan Lucroy singled to start the
Brewers ninth and was replaced by pinch-
runner Josh Prince. After Alex Gonzalez
popped out on his sacrice bunt attempt,
Carlos Gomez hit a grounder in the hole.
Crawford ran to his right to eld it, but his off-
balance throw to rst was wide, allowing the
runners to advance to second and third on a
play that was scored an ineld hit and an error.
Looking back, I think I wouldve had him
with a good throw, Crawford said. So if it
happened again, Id try to get the out at rst.
With the speedy Gomez trying to beat out
the ineld single, San Francisco manager
Bruce Bochy said it would be hard for
Crawford to resist the temptation of trying a
tough throw. holding the ball and not making
a risky throw.
Yeah, it is, Bochy said. Im sure he real-
izes now, the way he runs, he didnt have a
shot there. Hes so good over there, though.
Occasionally were going to make mistakes. A
tough time to make one, obviously, but hes as
good as there is there at short.
Yuniesky Betancourt was then intentionally
walked by Santiago Casilla (1-1), loading the
bases for Lalli.
With the score tied, one out and the out-
elders playing in, Lalli stepped to the plate
for just the sixth time this season.
Giants lose in the ninth
By Michael Wagaman
OAKLAND While his former team is
struggling through the rebuilding process,
Athletics inelder Jed Lowrie is relishing life
on the West Coast.
It also helps to play for
the club with the best
record in the AL.
Lowrie had two hits
Wednesday and Oakland
used a six-run rst inning
to beat the Houston Astros
7-5 to complete another
three-game sweep.
Were getting contribu-
tions up and down the line-
up and thats why weve been consistent so
far, said Lowrie, acquired from the Astros in
a Feb. 4 trade.
(The Astros) are in a rebuilding phase and
we came in and took care of business. Thats
what it takes. You have to beat the people
youre supposed to beat, he said.
Bartolo Colon pitched six crisp innings,
Josh Reddick doubled in two runs during
Oaklands big rst inning while Seth Smith
added three hits for the As, who improved to
a league-best 12-4.
Oakland outscored Houston 22-10 in the
series. The Astros have lost ve in a row.
The offense is off the charts at this point,
said As manager Bob Melvin, whose club
leads the majors in several hitting categories.
Were hitting on all cylinders.
The As sent 11 batters to the plate and
chased Astros starter Bud Norris in the rst
inning, then won behind Colon (2-0) and three
relievers.
Jose Altuve had three hits and Carlos Pena
homered for the second straight day for
As sweep Astros again

W
hen a baseball or softball player
has a particularly strong per-
formance, its not uncommon to
hear the refrain, Have a day!
Ill have to modify that adage for former
Notre Dame-Belmont slugger Ali Palermo,
who is in her senior season with Sonoma
State. For Palermo, it would be more apt to
say, Have a career!
Palermo is laying siege to the Seawolves
offensive record book. She has already set
seven school records
and is within shot of
setting three others.
She has already set
the single-season
home run record with
11 this season and
owns the schools all-
time mark with 34, a
record she set after
her junior year with
23 career homers. She
is three RBIs away
from setting the sin-
gle-season mark to go
along with her all-time RBIs record (135).
She also owns the team record for most total
bases (313 and counting), most sacrice
ies (eight and counting) and most hits in a
game (ve).
As good as Palermo is at the plate, she is
equally adept on defense. Playing rst base,
she has not committed an error since the
2011 season.

If youre a fan of high school sports, I
highly recommend you read the Yahoo!
Sports blog, Prep Rally, which is edited by
Cameron Smith. He covers the nation and
eshes out the bizarre, funny, controversial
and amazing action in the world of high
school athletics. A couple of his posts this
week caught my attention:
An Ohio baseball team racked up 48 hits,
13 walks was hit by the pitcher 11 times and
scored 65 runs in just three innings.
Obviously the opponent was severely over-
matched and the only reason the game was
called was not for the score but because it
was getting dark.

In describing the upcoming Coast
Conference swimming championship,
College of San Mateo head coach Randy
Wright said, its going to be a dogght.
Well, perhaps its a good thing hes bringing
a pack of Bulldogs to the meet.
The CSM women embark on what they
hope will be a repetition of last years tri-
umphant dismantling of the conference com-
petition when they travel to West Valley
College starting Thursday for the Coast cham-
pionships.
Were going to try and win a conference
title, Wright said. Thats why were in the
sport. You sit down at the beginning of the
season and you gure what you need to do to
get the job done. Albeit, we did lose All-
Americans and those are very difcult to
replace. But we do have very solid, high-end
swimmers and good depth on the team.
Swimmers dont come any more high-end
than CSMs Miya Oto, who will most likely
duplicate, if not surpass, her All-American
effort of last year. Its behind Oto the Bulldogs
didnt just win conference last year, they dom-
inated it.
But according to Wright, that wont be the
case in 2013. In fact, it should be quite the
opposite.
The elimination rounds in the morning are
going to be brutal, he said. There will a lot
of good swimmers that are not going to make
the top 16. And if you dont make the top 16,
you dont score points. So, when it comes to
winning, you may have 17 swimmers, but if
only 10 are scoring points, there is a loss of
depth to your team. The difference this year is
we lack that middle of the road repower.
Oto, along with Kelsey Mercado and
Rachel Rosas, are expected to have solid
meets. But the concern starts after Rosas. In
the past, CSM has racked up those crucial
points from sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-place
nishes. And that luxury is one the Bulldogs
wont have this time around.
Were going to get hurt in terms of total
team points, Wright said. I think this year
its very competitive. Its very exciting
because there are four or ve teams that have
a chance to win conference.
The running joke is, the all-Americans are
the general and the rest of the team is the
infantry. Well, the generals cant win the war
without the infantry and the infantry cant win
without the generals.
The infantry consists of a swimmer like
Jasmine Zaldivar, who needs to have the meet
of her life if the Bulldogs expect to contend
for the title. Shell be crucial in the relays. In
the past two years, CSM has won (Wright
called it dominated) the relays winning
nine of 10. This year, Wright said his
womens team needs at least two if they have
any aspirations of a team title.
We have not had a race this year when all
four girls have brought the thunder where
theyve all gone out and had a great swim,
Wright said. On the one side, now is the time
to go. Surprise, surprise, look where were at.
Were not that far off from the relays.
This year, the morning session is going to
be a dogght, Wright said. Its going to be
brutal. Theyre going to have to swim lights
out to get the job done and stay in it. You just
have they have the stamina to not just
advance, but move up by the afternoon.
But it doesnt hurt to have a swimmer like
Oto leading your charge.
Wright said this year is unique for his
superstar considering that Oto has higher
goals than just a conference title the All-
American is aiming for the podium at state.
At the end of the day, there is no one in this
conference that beats Miya Oto, Wright said.
Top swimmers in the state dont have bad
days. For all intent and purposes, shell prob-
ably be the swimmer of the meet.
Oto is favored by .75 seconds in the 50
meter freestyle, by three seconds in the 100
and her 1:56 in the 200 is seven seconds bet-
ter than number two this season.
My team is denitely ready to go, Wright
said. They swim their best when it counts the
most, so theres a denite expectation that
thats going to be consistent with years past.
Its just, theres a lot of good swimmers out
there.
Following Erin Harris rst-in-conference
performance at the diving championships, the
Bulldogs head into Thursdays competition
with 40 points in their back pocket already.

The day College of San Mateo swimmer
Alvaro Andaluz has been waiting for is nally
here.
The Coast Conference championships are set
to begin Thursday at West Valley College. And
while the season has proven true in its ups and
downs, giving Andaluz and his fellow Bulldogs
more than enough competition, CSM head
coach Randy Wright said this is the time for
which his swimmers have been waiting.
Andaluz, a breast stoker, enters the champi-
onships as one of the favorites in his discipline.
Hes ranked fourth in the 100-meter breast and
second in the 200 a double medal is not out
of the question.
He swims his best when he has somebody
to race, Wright said. We didnt know where a
couple of these breaststrokers came from. We
havent seen them all year. But he is excited
that is it race time and there is someone he is
going to be in hot pursuit of. Hes denitely
one to watch.
While not as strong as the womens team
who will look to win another conference title
the men of CSM have their fair share of
spotlights. Andaluz is chief among them, hav-
ing missed all of last season.
The CSM team actually enters the contest up
for the rst time thats thanks in large part of
the efforts of Jeremy Rodriguez at the Coast
Conference diving championships. His per-
formance in the 1 and 3-meter boards earned
CSM 29 points.
Jeremy did a great job. Wright said. He
did his job. I dont know if Jeremy was super
excited about this performance, he was a little
down and could have done a little better. But at
the end of the day, 29 points is probably going
to rank in the top third scoring for his team. He
realizes he did a great job for the team. And the
guys are red up.
Wright said the men are strong in most of the
strokes this year a big difference from last
season.
Along with Andaluz, Derrick Koo comes in
as a favorite in the backstroke. Hes the top
ranked backstroker in the 100, second in the
200 and second in the 200 individual medley.
Hes one of those swimmers, kind of like
Kelsey Mercado (on the womens team), where
hes ranked in that 10 to 14 zone in the state so
hes denitely not a shoe-in for the trip to L.A.
(and the state championships). So, hes got to
come ready, not just to win races but improve
his time so he can qualify for next weeks big
dance.
Also strong and in that range are swimmers
Jason Wong and Shawn Doker, who swims the
buttery. Both are expected to make the nals.
Where the men will struggle is in the
freestyle. Unlike last year when the Bulldogs
had a handful of speedsters, the 2013 version of
the CSM mens team does not. Last year, that
handful was consistently under the 50-second
mark even as low as 47 second. This season,
not once has CSM cracked the 48-second
mark.
Freestyle will be brutal, Wright said. We
just dont have that fast of a team.
CSM men confident heading into swim championships

PORTLAND, Ore. Stephen Curry set a
NBA single-season record for 3-pointers with
272 and the Golden State Warriors defeated
the Portland Trail Blazers 99-88 on
Wednesday in the season finale for both
teams.
It was the 13th straight
loss for the Blazers, equal-
ing the franchise record
set in the 1971-72 season.
Curry surpassed Ray
Allens single-season 3-
point total of 269 set in
2005-06. Needing two for
the record, Curry opened
the game with two
straight misses from beyond the arc, but hit
his rst midway through the rst quarter
before making the record-breaker with 6:49 to
go in the second.
His backcourt teammate Klay Thompson
led the Warriors with 24 points. Golden State
(47-35) had to wait for the game between the
Lakers and Rockets to nish before learning
their rst-round opponent in the playoffs.
LaMarcus Aldridge had 30 points and a sea-
son-high 21 rebounds for Portland (33-49),
which lost its eighth straight at home.
Golden State led by as many as 16 points in
the rst half but the Blazers closed the gap to
66-60 late in the third quarter on rookie
Damian Lillards layup. Sasha Pavlovic fol-
lowed with a 3-pointer to pull Portland within
3.
Meyers Leonard hit a jumper to get the
Blazers within 76-73 with 7:356 left in the
game, but Thompson answered for the
Warriors with a 3 and Portland couldnt get
any closer.
Curry hit his fourth 3-pointer of the game
with 5:56 to go, putting Golden State up 91-
77. He nished with 15 points.
The Warriors saw the return of center
Andrew Bogut, who missed two games
because of a bone bruise on his left ankle.
Bogut has missed 42 games this season
because of the ankle, which he had microfrac-
ture surgery on last April. Bogut nished with
two points and eight rebounds in 17 minutes.
Portland was without starting forward
Nicolas Batum, who missed the teams nal
eight games with a right shoulder injury, and
shooting guard Wesley Matthews, who missed
the last ve games with a sprained right ankle.
The Warriors led by as many as eight points
early, but the Blazers kept it close and pulled
within 26-24 on Aldridges jumper. Golden
State answered with an 18-5 run to go up 44-
29 on Thompsons 3-pointer.
The Warriors took a 50-36 lead into the half.
David Lee had 20 points and 10 rebounds
for his league-leading 56th double-double,
becoming the rst Warrior to nish atop the
league since Wilt Chamberlain had a double-
double in all 80 games in the 1963-64 season.
Lillard finished with 21 points for the
Blazers.
Curry sets 3s mark;

Justin Smith, Aldon Smith
on pace after surgeries
SANTA CLARA San Francisco 49ers
defensive tackle Justin Smith and linebacker
Aldon Smith are working back from offseason
surgeries, and general manager Trent Baalke
expects each to be at full strength and ready for
the start of training camp this summer.
Running back Kendall Hunter, who under-
went surgery late in the season for a torn left
Achilles, also plans to be full go by training
camp after he recently resumed sprint work.
He was injured in a Nov. 25 win at New
Orleans.
Justin Smith underwent surgery shortly after
the teams 34-31 Super Bowl loss to the
Baltimore Ravens on a partially torn left triceps
muscle, which he played with late in the season
while wearing a bulky brace. Baalke said
Smith has no restrictions and has resumed
weight lifting and other offseason training. The
teams voluntary conditioning program began
Monday and has near full participation.
Aldon Smith needed a shoulder operation to
repair a torn labrum. He nished his second
NFL season with 19.5 sacks, 66 tackles, three
forced fumbles and an interception.
Theyre working hard. Justin has no restric-
tions, no limitations to my knowledge, Baalke
said Wednesday. Aldon is coming along as
well. Hes probably not as far along. Theyll be
ne.
Hunter stayed in the Bay Area for the offsea-
son to rehab, not pushing himself past what the
training staff suggests at this stage. Hunter said
its most likely he wont participate in organ-
ized team activities and minicamps in order to
be 100 percent for the start of training camp.
Its going good. We ran this whole week,
Hunter said. I feel I know what I can do and
Ive always been a motivated person. I dont
want to rush it. Yeah, its coming. Im always
encouraged.
While Baalke prepares for 13 picks in next
weeks draft and perhaps selecting a safety in
that mix, he said the team hasnt ruled out sign-
ing free agent defensive back Charles
Woodson. Yet any progress probably wouldnt
happen until after the draft depending on who
the Niners select and whether the player could
make an immediate impact. Depth at safety is
a need, Baalke said.

container can be buried, stored in a columbarium, or
cherished as a keepsake, or there is the option of

you post on social media sites, college coach-
es are watching. According to college coach-
es, they take into account what prospective
recruits are posting online, not only what they
are posting but how often. Sexting and party
photos are self explanatory but coaches are
also concerned with the amount of time kids
spend posting stuff online, leading them to
wonder what kind of attention spans or study
habits these recruits might have.
Considered yourself warned.
***
Before it gets too far away, just some quick
thoughts on the recently completed Masters
golf tournament.
Tiger Woods has now gone eight years since
last winning the Green Jacket in 2005. While
there are many out there who believe he will
still break Jack Nicklaus majors record of 18,
Im not so sure. Woods is quickly entering
that phase of a pro golfers life where wins
can be hard to come by. Given his injury and
surgery history, dont be surprised to see him
slowing down.
A bigger factor, however, is the will to win
of the current PGA Tour pros. When Woods
burst on the scene in the 1990s and quickly
dominated, there seemed to almost be a resig-
nation among many of the pros at the time,
one of, Well, I may not win, but I can still
pick up a nice-sized payday.
Fast-forward 15 years and the new young
guns on tour now, who spent their formative
years idolizing Woods, now have the same
determination and drive to win major champi-
onships. While there are still those old timers
who get up for the majors, the kids coming
along are seemingly built to win.
Which could spell trouble for Woods in his
quest to set a new major championships
record. With so many youngsters and old
timers nipping at his heels, major titles
could become even harder to come by.

LOUNGE
when Armando Fajardo doubled home Adam
Leary, who had singled to lead off the inning
and moved to second on a Kellen Tsuruoka
sacrice bunt. Carlmont, however, got the run
back and then some as the Scots answered
with two runs in the bottom of the frame when
Matt Seuberts two-out hit took a bad hop and
deected off the glove of the Hillsdale second
baseman for a two-run single. The Scots
added another run in the fourth on Albaums
second RBI of the game and then rounded out
the scoring in the fth when Seubert singled,
went around to third on Hillsdales fourth
error of the game and scored on a wild pitch.
Meanwhile, Hubbell was efciently hand-
cufng the Hillsdale bats. Aside from the two
runs the Knights scored, they managed to get
only two other runners into scoring position
as the Carlmont defense was essentially aw-
less throughout the game.
Their ineld outplayed our ineld, said
Hillsdale manager Neal Donahoe. They
made a lot of plays.
[Hubbell] was good. He threw a lot of
strikes. I was impressed.
Also impressive was the play of Carlmonts
Albaum, a sophomore who was brought up to
the varsity squad from frosh-soph when the
varsity team lost its starting second baseman
to grades a couple weeks ago. Albaum was
inserted into that spot and has quickly earned
the respect of teammates as he has eight hits
and driven in 10 runs in just ve games.
He brings a lot of grit, some re. Hes like
a package of dynamite, Vallero said. We felt
he could come in and handle himself offen-
sively. We threw him right into the re.
Hes as good as anyone we have.
SCOTS
He was in looking at videos, he was look-
ing at the pitcher throw and he knew what he
wanted to do with the rst pitch, Milwaukee
manager Ron Roenicke said. Lalli is a very
smart guy. He knew what he wanted to do in
that situation.
Lalli lofted a deep y ball well over the
head of left elder Gregor Blanco for his rst
hit of the season. Milwaukee extended its
longest winning streak of the year to three.
That was fun, said Lalli, who had two hits
and two RBIs over six games in his debut sea-
son with the Cubs last year. If you come off
the bench, thats a situation you want to be in
having a chance to win the game. Hes an
aggressive pitcher, so yeah, I was denitely
looking to swing early.
Brewers starter Kyle Lohse did not allow a
hit through the rst ve innings as Milwaukee
built a 3-0 lead.
Jim Henderson (2-0) pitched the ninth and
got Crawford to y out with Blanco on second
base.
Hunter Pence drove in two runs for the
Giants and Betancourt did the same for the
Brewers.
San Francisco used ve singles to score
three times in the sixth.
Crawford led off with a solid single to break
up Lohses no-hit bid. After a sacrice by
pitcher Ryan Vogelsong, Angel Pagan hit an
RBI single.
Marco Scutaro and Pablo Sandoval also sin-
gled to load the bases for Buster Posey. He
struck out, but Pence followed with a two-run
single just past diving shortstop Jean Segura
to make it 3-all.
Lohse got out of the jam by getting Brandon
Belt to y out. The right-hander retired the
rst 14 batters he faced and wound up going
seven innings.
I felt good, Lohse said. Just kind of ran
into trouble that one inning and couldnt get
the put-away pitch. I had several guys on the
ropes and just couldnt execute the one pitch
to get out of it. Overall, I felt really good.
Vogelsong started out strong on the mound
as well, allowing just one hit in the rst four
innings.
Betancourt led off the third with a homer to
left-center, one day after hitting a grand slam
in a 10-8 victory over San Francisco.
Milwaukee increased its lead to 3-0 in the
fth thanks to a run-scoring triple by Gomez
and a sacrice y by Betancourt.
I felt a lot better today, Vogelsong said,
but still not perfect.
NOTES: Sandoval and Crawford each
extended their hitting streaks to 10 games. ...
Lohse was with St. Louis last season when he
allowed six hits and ve runs in only two
innings of a 9-0 loss to the Giants in Game 7
of the NL championship series.

Houston. Pinch-hitter Rick Ankiel
also homered for the Astros.
We have a resilient group and we
will continue to battle to the end,
Houston manager Bo Porter said. I
dont believe in moral victories; you
either win or lose. But at the same
time I liked that we kept ghting.
Colon beat Houston for the sec-
ond time this season, relying heavi-
ly on his curve and changeup most
of the game.
The Astros scored their only run
off the As starter when Chris Carter
reached on an RBI grounder in the
rst, then was picked off by the 39-
year-old Colon to end the inning.
Colon retired 15 of the nal 17
batters he faced. He gave up four
hits, struck out three and only
allowed one runner past rst base
Altuve, who singled and scored
Houstons rst run.
I think its the rst time my
changeup and my curve were work-
ing (that) great, so thats why I used
them a lot today, Colon said. We
are playing very well as a team and
were feeling very good about it.
Colon, who has not walked a bat-
ter in 19 innings this season, low-
ered his ERA to 3.32.
It was also the second time in
three games Houstons starting
pitcher failed to get out of the rst.
Eric Bedard retired just one batter
and gave up six runs in Mondays
11-2 loss to the As in the shortest
outing of his career.
Norris (2-2) lasted only slightly
longer, sticking around to get a sec-
ond out when leadoff hitter John
Jaso grounded out in his second at-
bat of the rst.
Reddick broke out of 4-for-39
slump with a double to highlight
Oaklands big inning. Chris Young,
Eric Sogard, Shane Peterson and
Jaso all drove in runs during the out-
burst.
Lowries RBI groundout in the
fourth drove in Peterson and made it
7-1.

Eleven-year-old Aaron Hern was there with
his father, Alan, and little sister, Abby, to
cheer on his mother, Katherine, in her rst
Boston Marathon when the bomb went off.
After initially becoming separated, Alan
found his son lying injured on the ground
with leg wounds.
He was conscious, he talked to me and
said, My leg really hurts, daddy, but he was
being pretty brave, Alan Hern told KGO-TV.
The family is from Martinez, Calif., and
Alan Hern is the Alhambra High School var-
sity football coach, KGO reported.
Aaron remained in critical condition at
Boston Childrens Hospital on Wednesday
and underwent three to four hours of surgery
on his leg, the hospital said.
His mother said in a note posted online by
Kiwanis Club of Martinez that Aaron was try-
ing harder and harder to communicate
through a touchpad. She said it was stressful
because he was starting to remember every-
thing and getting upset.
The mother of Aarons best friend,
Katherine Chapman, told The San Francisco
Chronicle that Aaron was an outgoing and
fun-loving kid.
A tough cookie, an athlete and a scholar.
He gets good grades and participates in every
sport and is good at everything he does. Hes
one of those kids that everybody loves, she
said. His 12th birthday is May 1.
JEFF BAUMAN JR.: LOST BOTH LEGS
Jeff Bauman Jr., a man pictured in an
Associated Press photo from immediately
after the blast, lost both his legs as cheered
his girlfriend on in the race. He survived the
trauma after people rushed him away from
the explosion site in a wheelchair.
Rescuers took the 27-year-old victim to
Boston Medical Center, but doctors had to
amputate his legs because of extensive vascu-
lar and bone damage, a Facebook post from
his father said Tuesday.
Unfortunately my son was just in the
wrong place at the wrong time, the elder Jeff
Bauman wrote.
The son also had to have more surgery later
because of uid in his abdomen. His condi-
tion improved later.
I just cant explain whats wrong with
people today to do this to people, the father
wrote. Im really starting to lose faith in our
country.
BRITTANY LORING:
AN AMBITIOUS STUDENT
Brittany Loring was spending Monday, her
29th birthday, cheering on her friend in the
Boston Marathon. A day later, she lay in crit-
ical condition with injuries to her head, leg
and ngers.
Weve had so many calls. Everybodys
just upset over it, grandmother Philomena
Loring told the Lowell Sun. I put her on the
prayer line at my church.
Loring is simultaneously pursuing degrees
in law and business administration at Boston
College. Shes also a runner, finishing 80th
in the Boston College MBA 5K on April 6.
HEATHER ABBOTT: BEST FRIEND
TURNED, FOUND HER GONE
Heather Abbott, of Newport, R.I., was
entering a bar with friends as the bomb went
off. Her best friend, Jason Geremia, told
WJAR-TV that everyone ran out the back.
Once he got there, he realized Abbott wasnt
with him. He turned to go back when he saw
a bouncer carrying her down the stairs.
I said, Give her to me. Give her to me.
And he was like, Do you know her? I said,
Yes, yes. Thats my best friend. I said,
Give her to me. He said, No, no, no. Look
at her leg. It was very tough to see that.
Her leg was severely injured. Another
friend took off his belt, and they used it as a
tourniquet.
Geremia spent much of Monday and
Tuesday at the hospital, along with Abbotts
parents, who are from Lincoln, R.I.
Its very, very hard to see her, Geremia
said.
JARROD CLOWERY:
GET INTO THE STREET
Jarrod Clowery and his friends were
cheering on spectators when he heard the
first explosion.
I got this feeling that we need to get into
the street, Clowery said.
Clowery, 35, a carpenter, hopped over one
of the metal barricades that separates specta-
tors on the sidewalk from runners on the
course when the second blast went off
behind him.
Because I was elevated on the railing I
think I avoided major, major injury,
Clowery said, adding that his friends were
injured much more severely.
Clowery said his hearing was diminished
by about 85 percent. He has shrapnel
embedded in the back of his leg and suffered
flash burns.
The Lord was watching over me, some-
body was watching over me, Clowery said.
And I feel very blessed.
JOHN ODOM:
CHEERING HIS DAUGHTER
John Odoms daughter, Nicole Reis, was
running the marathon as a member of the
New England Patriots Charitable
Foundation Marathon team, and he was
there to support her. Her husband, Matt
Reis, is the goalie for the Major League
Soccer team the New England Revolution.
Odom was around 10 feet away from the
first bomb when it went off, Matt Reis told
reporters at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough
on Wednesday, where he visited to thank
teammates for their support. Odom
remained in critical condition and had
undergone three surgeries in about 40 hours,
he said.
He hasnt really stabilized yet, and were
still hoping, he said. He is progressing a
little bit, but were talking about footsteps
here and not very big strides.

plans to build housing in the area. She invited
school ofcials to resubmit an application for
a general plan amendment and development
deal.
If CSUS had purchased it, we could have
both beneted. Its sad, Feierbach said about
the school and city.
The school, a nonprot exempt from paying
property taxes, offered the city a one-time $1
million payment, annual payments of
$250,000 in its development deal and use of a
turfed athletic eld.
Steve Divney, with Colliers International, is

sold or who the interested buyers may be.
A fan of the project two years ago,
Feierbach voted against it in October after a
contentious process that divided the city in
two camps one that contends a new school
in the hills will bring in too much trafc and
another that said the renowned institution will
be a big plus for the city.
The entire council gave CSUS ofcials a
general thumbs-up in a preliminary design
review of the project back in April 2011.
But in the 18 months between that meeting
and the October meeting when the project was
shot down, three of the ve on the council said
it was not appropriate to amend the citys gen-
eral plan to accommodate just one applicant.
Voting no was Feierbach, Councilman Dave
Warden and current Mayor Christine
Wozniak. Councilmen David Braunstein and
Warren Lieberman voted for the project.

Among my friends and family, I am
known as a bit of a perfectionist. My
wife, much more easy going, gently
reminds me to pick my battles, especial-
ly when it comes to remodeling projects
or trying to get the kids to clean their
rooms.
The one area in which I have learned
to go with the ow is the garden, where
even the most determined personality
cannot make things grow through sheer
will. Here Mother Nature sets the rules.
Your job is to discover and follow them.
I learned this many years ago, when I
rst tried to cultivate sweet peas.
On a visit to the famed Chelsea
Garden Flower Show in London, I was
captivated by a spectacular display of
this old-fashioned cottage garden
favorite. The exhibit showcased dozens
of sweet pea varieties, grown to perfec-
tion. The vines were full of owers in
colors ranging from soft pastels to
vibrant blues, reds and purples. What
struck me more than the owers colors,
however, was their intoxicating scent. It
perfumed the air around the exhibit. I
decided then and there I would grow
some in my own garden.
When I returned home, I ordered some
sweet pea seeds from a mail-order ven-
dor and promptly planted them along the
fence of my vegetable garden. I could
barely contain my enthusiasm and was
certain I would have plants every bit as
wonderful as those I had seen in
England.
What I had neglected to realize was
that by the time I got my seeds planted,
the weather had begun to warm up con-
siderably. It was June, after all. Sure, it
was perfect weather for me to work in
the garden, but it was not perfect weath-
er for sweet peas.
Sweet peas like it cool and moist
conditions more like those prevailing in
mid-March.
By the time my seeds germinated
(sweet peas are slow to germinate) and
began to grow, the heat of summer had
arrived and they abruptly stopped grow-
ing when they were about 4 inches tall.
I checked them every day expecting
some sort of Jack-and-the-Beanstalk
miracle. It never happened. By mid-July,
they had turned yellow and died.
Not one to give up, I tried again the
following year. This time, my plants
reached about 10 inches tall before turn-
ing yellow in July.
The third year, I planted the seeds in
pots in early May, and once they germi-
nated I transferred the plants into the
ground. Results were mildly better, with
the vines reaching about 2 feet tall and
producing a few measly owers before
the plants turned yellow and died. But
the few measly owers were a far cry
from what I experienced at Chelsea.
A visit that summer to a friends home
on the coast of Maine, where summers
are cool, made me realize what I was
doing wrong. I was sowing my sweet
peas way too late. My friends sweet
peas were tall, lush and loaded with
flowers that rivaled those I saw at
Chelsea.
She planted her seeds as soon as her
garden could be worked. Often this
meant shortly after the last snow fall and
before her daffodils began blooming.
She recommended that I add a lot of
compost to the soil before I planted and
that I mulch the base of the plants with
clean straw (not hay) to help keep the
roots cool once they reached about 2 1/2
to 3 feet tall.
She told me she feeds her plants regu-
larly when they are growing and is care-
ful to water them if the soil begins to dry
out.
The following year, I planted my seed
directly in the ground in early April. To
my surprise, after they geminated, light
frosts didnt seem to bother them one bit.
I fed them once every 10 days with a
water-soluble plant food, mulched the
roots to keep them cool and that year had
an incredible crop of fragrant sweet peas
just as impressive as those I saw at
Chelsea.
It took four years, but as soon as I pro-
vided the conditions the plants preferred,
I achieved success.
Now if I could just gure out how to
get the kids to clean their rooms.
Work on natures schedule, not your own
Sweet peas owers are colorful and highly aromatic.Its best
to plant sweet pea seeds shortly after the last snow of winter.

The silky petals of a fragrant pink shrub rose;
the crunchy texture of a gravel path; a nook
where grass rustles and a stream runs. What we
smell, see, hear, touch and taste can make a gar-
den walk a wonderful sensory experience.
If youre designing a garden, consider creat-
ing one thats a feast for one, several or all of the
senses.
Public examples that can provide inspiration
include the William T. Bacon Sensory Garden
at the Chicago Botanic Garden, and the Lerner
Garden of the Five Senses at the Coastal Maine
Botanic Garden in Boothbay.
At the Bacon, a large sycamore tree with
mottled bark sits at the center, while a crabap-
ple meadow bursts into a cloud of sweet-
smelling pink and white in spring. At the
Lerner, a labyrinth path made of smooth stones
is a reexologists delight. Weeping larches
ank the entry, and vertical cage planters called
ower towers are stocked by garden staff
with a variety of avorful plantings. Stone
sinks offer water to cleanse the palate.
In Californias Napa and Sonoma valleys,
there are wine sensory gardens; the Kendall
Jackson Wine Estate has a pinot garden where
visitors sample the strawberries, cherries and
blackberries that inform the varietals avor.
If you want to create your own sensory gar-
den, consider two things: your areas hardiness
zone and which senses you want to focus on.
The former can be ascertained at www.gar-
den.org; knowing your zone will help you
choose plants that will thrive. If your regional
public garden has a sensory exhibit, representa-
tives there can help with sources and inspira-
tion. And even if you nd something you love
thats a bit tender for your zone, you can still
plant it just use a container so you can move
it to a warmer, protected area when weather
threatens.
As for the senses, think about what attracts
you to a garden. Is it mostly the scents, or is it
the visuals? Perhaps youre moved by how ele-
ments in a garden sound. Or are you a tactile
person who likes to touch every plant, rock and
tree?
Make sure guests to your garden can linger
and enjoy its sensory pleasures, says Margie
Grace, a garden designer and owner of Grace
Design Associates in Santa Barbara.
There should be places to sit; places to slow
down; places to feel the warmth of the sun,
drink in the fragrant owers, and hear the trick-
le of a stream or the music of wind chimes, she
says.
Sensory gardens are also a great way to
involve kids in gardening, says Emily Jackson
of the Appalachian Sustainable Agricultural
Project in Asheville, N.C. Plant herbs such as
mint and lemon that are easy, prolic and have
familiar scents. Or think about the ingredients
of kids favorite foods the oregano, toma-
toes, onions and basil that go into spaghetti
sauce, for example.
Try growing some unusual things, too: car-
rots and potatoes in unusual colors, purple
beans that turn green when you cook them, or
watermelon radishes.
Radishes are very easy to grow. Kids dont
seem to like them much except for these water-
melon ones, which are colorful and less spicy,
says Jackson, who works with an initiative
called Growing Minds: Farm to School,
which helps schools build gardens.
And make a sensory garden for kids as cir-
cuitous as you can, she says, with winding paths
and structures that double as hiding places.
Bean tepees and sunower houses are a big hit.
SIGHT
A swath of cool blues, purples and whites
provides a soothing, tranquil atmosphere. Warm
yellows, oranges and reds are more energetic.
Varieties of green pines, grasses, ornamental
shrubs can bring a Zen vibe to the garden.
You may want to add some artistic elements
as well, especially if you have small children:
hanging ribbons or mobiles, or ornamentals that
attract wildlife. Consider bee balm, red
columbine, lantana and trumpet vine to draw
hummingbirds. Echinacea, buddleia, black-
eyed susan, Joe Pye weed, coreopsis and violets
will call the butteries.
How is the garden experienced at night?
Grace asks.
Think of white blooms and foliage to reect
moonlight, lights under water with a rippled
effect, she says.
TOUCH
Consider plants with an interesting feel.
Fuzzy lambs ears, soft mosses and succulents,
cottony silver sage, prickly or spiky thistles,
broom, conifers and other trees with intriguing
bark.
For the hardscaping, youll want pebbles,
stones or gravel, or a padded path of grass, ne
mulch or sand.
A metal bench that warms in the sun and
cools in the shade provides additional tactile
interest, as does fencing, and vessels made of
textured or smooth materials.
SOUND
Put seating near rustling grasses or hard-
stemmed plants like bamboo that make knock-
ing noises in a breeze. Deciduous tree leaves
whoosh, and pine trees whisper.
A little portable trickling fountain makes
even a small garden feel grounded in nature; a
water feature of any sort will likely attract
songbirds and small animals or reptiles.
A wind chime may play a tune in the slight-
est breath of air.
TASTE
Plant edibles like nasturtiums, mint, pansies
and berries that can be eaten right off the bush
as visitors walk your garden.
SMELL
Jasmine, geranium, rose, honeysuckle, gar-
denia, lavender. If your zone allows for one or
two of these heady scents, youll have a fea-
tured performer in your sensory garden.
Herbs like lemon balm, thyme and pepper-
mint are aromatic and easy to grow. Consider
blending scented plants like chocolate cosmos
and mock orange; pineapple sage and vanilla-
scented clethra; curry plant and ornamental
pine or cedar.
Besides jasmine, Grace suggests Fringe Tree,
Lilac and Carolina Jessamine as fragrant botan-
icals that grow in many zones.
Low herbs like thyme and oregano in the
pathway will give off their aroma when walked
upon, she says.
Sensory Gardens: Create a haven for the senses
effort to protect pedestrians and curb distract-
ed driving.
It was the fourth deployment of the San
Mateo County Saturation Trafc Enforcement
Program, or S.T.E.P.
Last month, police patrolled Menlo Park
and Redwood City with a saturation patrol
that resulted in more than 200 citations.
Yesterday, S.T.E.P. patrolled Millbrae in the
morning and Daly City in the afternoon. More
than 144 citations, 37 for cellphone use, were
issued in Millbrae alone, Burlingame police
Sgt. Jay Kiely told the Daily Journal. Most
were cited for entering a crosswalk while a
pedestrian was present and 24 others were
cited for running stop signs.
In Daly City, police cited 63 drivers, mostly
for pedestrian violations, Kiely said.
They used a decoy to cross Mission Street
repeatedly for hours yesterday afternoon.
The decoy was able to cross the street safe-
ly on most attempts but not always. One time,
three cars, one that sped through, entered the
crosswalk while the female decoy tried to
cross.
Police were able to cite two of those drivers
near John Daly Boulevard.
Zeghbabeh, who owns Step Ahead Carpets
right on the corner of Mission Street and Alp
Avenue, said he has seen three people die in
the same crosswalk over many years.
The intersection should have signals, he
said.
Next month, S.T.E.P. will patrol sections of
South San Francisco, San Bruno and Pacica.
The program targets troubled trafc areas
based on collision data or complaints from the
community.
Driver distractions are the leading cause of
most vehicle crashes, according to the
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration.
State law prohibits the use of cellphones
while driving unless the device is hands-free.

will come under scrutiny during a home
inspection when your home is for sale. A
new report has been prepared which
identifies the eleven most common of
these problems, and what you should
know about them before you list your
home for sale.
Whether you own an old home or a brand
new one, there are a number of things
that can fall short of requirements during
a home inspection. If not identified and
dealt with, any of these 11 items could
cost you dearly in terms of repair. That's
why it's critical that you read this report
before you list your home.
If you wait until the building inspector
flags these issues for you, you will
almost certainly experience costly delays
in the close of your home sale or, worse,
turn prospective buyers away altogether.
In most cases, you can make a reason-
able pre-inspection yourself if you
know what you're looking for, and
knowing what you're looking for can
help you prevent little problems from
growing into costly and unmanageable
ones.
To help home sellers deal with this
issue before their homes are listed, a

NEW PALTZ, N.Y. Here it is, still early
spring, and already the fantail willow a kind
of pussy willow is into its second show of
the year.
This show is its most colorful one, and comes
at a time when any color besides brown and
gray is still at a premium.
No, the fantail willows color wont knock
your socks off. Its a hazy yellow, a soft cloud
that comes from hundreds of gold-capped
threads poking through the fur of each pussy
willow bud.
Those threads are the male ower parts, the
stamens, and their caps are golden yellow from
grains of pollen. Notwithstanding the old nurs-
ery rhyme I know a little pussy/Her coat is sil-
ver gray/She lives down in the meadow/Not far
away, all pussy willows and there are a
number of different ones are male.
MULTIPLE SHOWS
FROM FANTAIL WILLOW
The fantail willows rst show was its unex-
panded ower buds, each soft and furry as a
pussycat. That furry covering is actually a leaf,
botanically speaking a modied leaf called a
bract. Its the same botanical structure as the
large red petal of the poinsettia.
(By the way, it has been suggested that the
pussy of pussy willows comes not from the
buds resemblance to cats fur but from the
French word pousse, meaning budded.)
Actually, even before those furry buds
expanded there was cause to admire the fantail
willow. Even in the dead of winter, it livens up
the scene, and thats the time when it lives up to
its namesake. The fantailing is the result of
fasciation, which occurs when a number of
buds at the tip of a stem start growing together.
The resulting shoots fuse into one wide, ribbed
and attened shoot that swirls around from the
different growth rates of its growing tips.
This fasciation is surely interesting, perhaps
pretty. All that twisting around can look almost
painful. In fact, fasciation is often the result of
virus infection, although whatever is causing it
does not seem to otherwise harm fantail wil-
lows.
EASY BEGINNINGS
One place those fasciated stems always look
nice is in a vase, plopped there just as their buds
are expanding. Thats how I got my fantail wil-
low plant started. The forced stems came from
a orist and, like other willows, they rooted
readily as they sat in water in the vase. When
warm weather settled in, I planted one of the
rooted stems outdoors, guring Id then have a
lifetime supply of branches for winter forcing.
That was years ago, and the plant is now a
billowing mound about 10 feet high and wide.
Like other willows, fantail is a fast grower.
Unlike other willows, it never grows much larg-
er than my plants present size, so can be
accommodated in smaller yards.
YET ANOTHER SHOW
What I didnt know when I planted my stems
was that this plant was going to put on four
shows each year: the contorted branches, the
unopened furry ower buds, the golden haze of
expanded owers and one more.
This nal show will come from the leaves.
Glossy, elongated and drooping, they are unre-
markable individually. But tufted together
along the stems, they present a shimmering
mound of lushness that could be mistaken for
bamboo or peach.
Fantail willow seems unaffected by any pests,
so the leaves retain their vibrancy and youthful
sheen all summer long.
As summer melts into fall, fantail willows
either drop their leaves quickly or turn some ho-
hum color. I dont remember. Fall is the only
season I dont look at the plant.
Pussy willows add some color to spring
A soft cloud of hundreds of gold-capped
threads poke through the fur of each pussy
willow bud.

letters were intercepted before reach-
ing the White House or Senate. Ricin
is derived from the castor plant that
makes castor oil. There is no antidote
and it is at its deadliest when inhaled.
An FBI intelligence bulletin
obtained by The Associated Press said
the two letters were postmarked
Memphis, Tenn.
Both letters said: To see a wrong
and not expose it, is to become a silent
partner to its continuance. Both were
signed, I am KC and I approve this
message.
In Corinth, a city of about 14,000 in
northeastern Mississippi, police cor-
doned off part of a subdivision where
Curtis may live. Police on the scene
would not confirm why they had
blocked a few roads and set up a crime
scene in the area of brick, single-fami-
ly homes. At least five police cars were
on the scene.
As authorities scurried to investigate
three questionable packages discov-
ered in Senate office buildings, reports
of suspicious items also came in from
at least three senators offices in their
home states.
Sen. Carl Levin said a staff member
at his Saginaw, Mich., office would
spend the night in a hospital as a pre-
caution after discovering a suspicious
letter. The staff member had no symp-
toms, Levin said in a statement. He
expected to learn preliminary results
of tests on the letter by Thursday.
Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., said suspi-
cious letters at his Phoenix office had
been cleared with nothing dangerous
found. A package at Sen. John
Cornyns Dallas-area office also was
declared harmless.
All three packages in the Capitol
complex turned out to be safe, Capitol
police spokeswoman Makema Turner
said late Wednesday.
Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Terrance
Gainer said that an individual who was
responsible for the suspicious pack-
ages in the Hart and Russell Senate
office buildings on Tuesday was
detained and released on Wednesday.
The packages were not hazardous.
Gainer said the man was not partic-
ularly harmful, although terribly dis-
ruptive.
All the activity came as tensions
were high in Washington and across
the country following Mondays
bombings at the Boston Marathon that
killed three people and injured more
than 170. The FBI said there was no
indication of a connection between the
letters and the bombing. The letters to
Obama and Wicker were postmarked
April 8, before the marathon.
Obamas press secretary, Jay Carney,
said mail sent to the White House is
screened at a remote site for the safety
of the recipients and the general pub-
lic. He declined to comment on the
significance of the preliminary ricin
result, referring questions to the FBI.
Capitol Police swiftly ramped up
security, and lawmakers and staff were
cautioned away from some parts of the
Hill complex. After hours of jangled
nerves, officials signaled it was safe to
move throughout the area and people
settled back to normal, if watchful,
activity.
At a House hearing, Postmaster
General Patrick Donahoe noted there
had been ricin alerts since the notori-
ous 2001 anthrax mailings and proce-
dures are in place to protect postal
employees and help track down cul-
prits.
Over the course of years weve had
some situations where there have been
ricin scares, Donahoe said. Until this
date, theres never been any actually
proved that have gone through the sys-
tem.
After Curtis arrest, Wicker in a writ-
ten statement thanked the FBI and
U.S. Capitol Police for their profes-
sionalism and decisive action in keep-
ing our family and staff safe from
harm.

weigh in is a way for RethinkWaste to
develop a home diversion calculator
to be launched on the agencys website
in June. Single-family customers will
be able to use the calculator to figure
out for themselves how much they are
diverting on any given week with the
goal of encouraging residents to recy-
cle and compost as much as possible.
Users will enter into the calculator how
full each cart is and receive their diver-
sion percentage for that week.
At the end of the day, we only have
one landfill area with the reality of
what happens if that facility closes.
There are carbon emissions and cities
are required to reduce the trash in their
storm water drains. All of these things
can be linked together and we wanted
to figure out what we can do to help
residents improve, said Monica
Devincenzi, the recycling outreach and
sustainability manager for
Rethinkwaste.
Service area-wide, customers had
more than 60 percent diversion rate in
2012, she said.
The statewide goal is 75 percent
recycling.
An added motivation? Households
with the highest diversion rates will be
recognized for the effort.
What exactly that recognition will be
is still being worked out, Devincenzi
said.
But before the new online tool can
launch, it must be built and
RethinkWaste officials say the random
weighing this week provides key data
of how much a half, a third or a full
cart approximately weighs. Similar
data collection happened in December
to provide seasonal information.
The San Carlos weighing will hap-
pen between 6:30 p.m. and noon
Thursday, April 18 and may delay col-
lection time a little. The contractor will
work ahead of regular Recology serv-
ice.
As the weighing happens, the con-
tractor will lift the lid to determine how
full the carts are but RethinkWaste says
not to worry about the contents no
inspection will happen of what actually
lurks inside.
Devincenzi said the agency is also
not tracking addresses or personal
information.
RethinkWaste, otherwise known as
the South Bayside Waste Management
Authority, oversees the countys
garbage and recycling. Its member
cities and districts include Atherton,
Belmont, Burlingame, East Palo Alto,
Foster City, Hillsborough, Menlo Park,
Redwood City, San Carlos, San Mateo,
San Mateo County and the West Bay
Sanitary District.
