lawsuit alleging it failed to protect her

The district wants the lawsuit by Roxanne Pedro dis-
missed as untimely because it was not led until after the
six-month statute of limitations as calculated by her 2001
molestation. However, attorneys say the suit actually dates

Millbrae voters chose to renew a re sup-
pression assessment tax that was set to
expire in May through an all-mail ballot,
city ofcials reported Wednesday.
The results showed 56.3 percent of voters
were in favor of the tax that is estimated to
bring in $1.5 million annually for 10 years.
Of the 6,600 ballots mailed out, 3,083 were
returned.
Im humbled and very pleased to be part
of a community that values its re servic-
es, said Mayor Wayne Lee. It has the
wherewithal to ensure re services.
The re suppression tax to fund re serv-
ices was rst passed in 2004 and extended in
2009. It currently brings in $1.2 million
annually. The renewal comes with an annual
tax of $174.83 per single family home, and
for each dwelling unit for multi-family
parcels with three or more dwellings in the
amount of $125.19. For commercial uses,
the tax is based on the number of rooms in
the hotel, number of beds in various resi-
dential care facilities and the land use/build-
ing square footage for other non-residential
land uses in the various amounts designated
in the engineers report.
We want to continue to provide the resi-
dents of Millbrae with the best re and pub-
lic safety services, Millbrae Fire Chief
Mark Ladas said in a statement. It is an
honor to be a part of this community.
Other councilmembers were pleased with
the results, including Councilwoman Marge
Colapietro.
Im very, very pleased and grateful to the
members of the committee to support the

After 28 years at Burlingames Good
Shepherd Lutheran Church, Pastor
Peter Garrison is hanging up his robes
to go into retirement.
This Sunday will be Garrisons last
day at the church. He will focus on his
work as a portrait artist, along with
traveling a bit. Now felt like the right
time to leave the church, he said.
Its a little too early for me, he
said. I still have the energy, but its a
really good time for the church.
Theyre happy and healthy spiritually,
emotionally and physically. Amistake
pastors make is staying too long.
Now, with all these babies coming up,
its time for a pastor with a family to
get involved with the schools and
raise their kid in the church.
When Garrison, 62, says the church
is lled with babies, thats not far from
the truth. Twenty-ve of its 70 mem-
bers are children under the age of 8.
Children quickly learn the liturgy,
he wrote in a paper called Church
Cohesiveness Through Happy Chaos.
During worship one child, still in dia-
pers, knows when to start crawling to
the altar for the childrens sermon.
Several infants participate in the litur-
gy by babbling during the spoken
parts of the liturgy, and cooing during
the sung parts.
The church has denitely changed
over the years, he said. Metal worker
attendees have been replaced by
Ph.D.s and high-tech employees. It is
unusual to be a pastor at only one
church in ones lifetime, as it is in his

City settles with
homeless to leave landfill
ALBAN ANorthern California city
has reached a settlement with a group of
homeless people who led a federal law-
suit to prevent their eviction from a
waterfront landll.
The city of Albany says Wednesday
that it will pay 28 homeless people
$3,000 each to leave the Bulb, a 40-acre
site along the San Francisco Bay to be
used for park land. Another two-dozen
or so homeless people who stay at the
site and are not covered by the settle-
ment also must leave.
The settlement calls for the homeless
residents and their pets to leave by
Friday and stay away for a year.
Agroup of homeless people and the
nonprot Albany Housing Advocates
led a federal lawsuit against the city in
November after the Albany City
Council voted to clear the site in
October.
Boy, 5, shot in
eye by paintball gun
OAKLAND A5-year-old boy in the

Francisco, Benioff Childrens Hospital
in Oakland says Komari Hunter was
hit in the left eye just after 6 p.m. on
Tuesday as he rode in a car in West
Oakland with his mother and at least
one other passenger.
Krigel says Komari underwent surgery
Tuesday night but that the condition of
his eye was not immediately known.

nt known.
California mom, TSA
settle breast milk lawsuit
PHOENIX A Southern California
woman who was held at a Phoenix air-
port four years ago after refusing to
have her breast milk X-rayed has
reached a settlement with the
Transportation Security
Administration.
Stacey Armato, who led a lawsuit in
U.S. District Court in Phoenix, said
Wednesday that TSA ofcials have ten-
tatively offered her $75,000, along
with promises to retrain agents and clar-
ify its guidelines on screening breast
milk.
Body found at home
tented for fumigation
WESTMINSTER Authorities say a
man found dead at an Orange County
home that was tented for fumigation did
not live there.
The Orange County Register reports
the man was found unresponsive in the
patio area of the residence in
Westminster Tuesday evening. He was
pronounced dead at the scene.
Police Sgt. Cameron Knauerhaze says
there are no signs of foul play but
authorities consider the circumstances
surrounding the death suspicious since
the man did not live at the home.
Investigators have not determined
why the man was on the property. He
was not immediately identied.
The cause of death was not immediate-
ly clear.
Michigan man among
first in U.S. to get bionic eye
ANN ARBOR, Mich. A degenera-
tive eye disease slowly robbed Roger
Pontz of his vision.
Diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa
as a teenager, Pontz has been almost
completely blind for years. Now,
thanks to a high-tech procedure that
involved the surgical implantation of a
bionic eye, hes regained enough of
his eyesight to catch small glimpses of
his wife, grandson and cat.
Its awesome. Its exciting seeing
something new every day, Pontz said
during a recent appointment at the
University of Michigan Kellogg Eye
Center. The 55-year-old former compet-
itive weightlifter and factory worker is
one of four people in the U.S. to receive
an articial retina since the Food and
Drug Administration signed off on its
use last year.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A71-year-old registered sex offender who
allegedly molested a 10-year-old girl in an
isolated area of a San Mateo bookstore in
June and later arrested in Mountain View for
similar behavior will stand trial in the coun-
ty case.
The defense presented no evidence in
Wednesdays preliminary hearing and Judge
Marta Diaz held Christopher Wendell
Miller, of San Jose, to answer on charges of
the kidnapping and child molestation in the
alleged June 23, 2013, incident at Barnes &
Noble on Hillsdale Boulevard.
He enters a Superior Court plea and poten-
tially sets a jury trial date May 8.
Prosecutors say on the
day in question a man
later identied as Miller
approached the girl in the
San Mateo stores chil-
drens reading area and
exposed himself. He also
allegedly ordered the girl
to touch his genitals and
lured her to a secluded area
past the store restrooms
where he exposed himself
again and touched her groin over her cloth-
ing. The suspect then asked the girl for her
name, address and when she was alone at
home, prosecutors said.
The man remained at large until identied
through photographs and video circulated
by police and arrested in Mountain View for
fondling himself in front of two young girls
at a Walmart store. The mother yelled at the
man and alerted store employees who fol-
lowed him to his car and wrote down the
license plate for police who arrested him
Sept. 7, 2013.
Miller, who was already a sex offender
registrant, was convicted in Santa Clara
County of felony indecent exposure and
child annoyance and sentenced to four years
prison.
He is also suspected in a Union City inci-
dent at a Burger King. Like Miller, the sus-
pect wore a sherman-style hat.
Miller remains in custody without bail.

SAN FRANCISCO The first images
of the newly discovered wreckage of a
steamship that sank in San Francisco
Bay in 1888, killing 16 people, were
released Wednesday by federal ocean sci-
entists.
The wood and iron steamship City of
Chester went down on Aug. 22, 1888, after
it was struck in dense fog by a larger ship.
The collision came soon after family
members bid their loved ones safe passage
and the Chester departed with 106 passen-
gers for Eureka, Calif., and Portland, Ore.
Moments later, it was split in two by the
Oceanic, a ship more than twice its size,
killing 13 passengers, including two chil-
dren, and three crew members.
More than 125 years later, a National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
team found the shipwreck in 217 feet of
water just inside the Golden Gate Bridge
while the scientists were charting ship-
ping channels.
A display featuring the images and his-
tory of the shipwreck is planned at San
Franciscos Chrissy Field, which looks
out over the spot where the Chester sank,
just in front of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Laura Pagano, a member of the NOAA
team, said she became emotional while
learning they had found the wreckage.
It was sad in a way because of the loss
of life, she said, with the Golden Gate
looming behind her. But to be able to
connect with maritime history from a
wreck found ... more than 100 years ago
was immensely fulfilling.
The crew used a multi-beam sonic imag-
ing system to capture three-dimensional
images of the wreckage.
The NOAA researchers then put together
research about what happened, and found
newspaper articles and transcripts of testi-
mony from the accident investigation.

Mans death
considered homicide
Police continue to investigate
the death of a man found with sig-
nificant head trauma in a
Redwood City park as a homi-
cide.
Peter Keegan, a 57-year-old
transient, was found lying on the
ground unconscious at Red
Morton Park before 8:30 a.m.
April 14 and died shortly after
arriving at Stanford Hospital.
San Mateo County Coroner
Robert Foucrault said Keegan
died from multiple blunt force
trauma wounds to the head,
which Redwood City police said
was consistent with him being
the victim of an assault.
Keegan was found by a parkgo-
er on a walkway near the commu-
nity and activities building and
bocce ball court located at 1200
Roosevelt Ave., authorities said.
Police Lt. Sean Hart said offi-
cers are interviewing anyone
who lives in the area or frequents
the park as well as those who
were present when he was found.
They are also seeking any video
surveillance that may be avail-
able from the surrounding area,
he said.
Forensic testing of evidence
gathered at the crime scene is
being processed, however, Hart
said he could not confirm what
was removed from the park.
The Coroners Office is still
compiling a full autopsy and tox-
icology report which could take
two to three weeks to determine
how exactly Keegan died and if
he was under the influence at the
time of his death, Foucrault said.
No one is in custody and police
could not confirm if there were
any suspects.
Anyone with information
should contact Redwood City
police at (650) 780-7100.

Guy William
Bolich pleaded
no contest
Wednesday to a

ing a firearm in return for prose-
cutors dropping other charges.
Bolich, who is free from custody
on a $50,000 bail bond, was
immediately sentenced for the
April 5, 2013, incident.
Prosecutors say that afternoon
Bolich argued with another San
Carlos resident over a parking
spot in their Walnut Street neigh-
borhood and pulled what the vic-
tim thought was a handgun.
Bolich allegedly was wearing a
Sheriffs Office hat and claimed
to be a deputy.
The victim said he was calling

later located. The weapon was a

Teen arrested for
DUI after short car chase
Pol i ce i n Sout h San
Francisco arrested a teenage
boy after a short car pursuit
early Tuesday morning.
At about 1:15 a.m. Tuesday,
officers spotted a car moving
recklessly on Westborough
Boulevard, near Gellert
Boulevard, police said.
After the car hit a curb,
police attempted to conduct a
traffic stop, but the car fled
onto the northbound Interstate
280 on-ramp, accordi ng t o
pol i ce.
The car crashed into some land-
scaping along the side of the
road and was disabled, police
said.
Police said a 16-year-old boy
was arrested. Investigators
learned the boy was under the
influence of prescription medica-
tion and marijuana at the time of
the incident.
The boy was also unlicensed
and on probation. He was booked
into a juvenile detention facility.
Car strikes
boy, 12, in Pacifica
A car struck a 12-year-old boy
Tuesday night when he entered a
road in Pacifica between two
parked cars, police said.
The collision was reported at
9:33 p.m. in the 400 block of
Monterey Road.
The boy was taken to a hospi-
tal to be treated for a leg injury
that is not considered life-threat-
ening, police said.
Apreliminary investigation by
police indicated that the boy
entered the road by walking
between parked vehicles. Speed
does not appear to be a factor in
the collision, according to
police.
Pacifica police are continuing
to investigate the incident.

HONOLULU Long ights can
leave anyone a little unsteady, but
a teenager who deed the odds, sur-
viving a ight from California to
Hawaii tucked in a jetliners wheel
well, was disoriented, thirsty and
could barely walk after the freez-
ing, low-pressure ordeal, airport
ofcials said Wednesday.
Security video of his arrival
shows the 15-year-old boy dan-
gling his feet for about 15 seconds
from the wheel well before jump-
ing 8 to 10 feet to the ground,
landing on his feet and immediate-
ly collapsing Sunday morning,
Maui District Airport Manager
Marvin Moniz said.
Staggering toward the front of
the plane, the soft-spoken boy in
a San Francisco Giants hoodie
asked a ramp agent for a drink of
water, setting in motion federal
and local law enforcement investi-
gations, national calls for better
airport security and a flurry of
speculation about how anyone
could survive such a perilous trip.
Abdilahi Yusuf Abdi, who said he
is the boys father, told Voice of
America Wednesday that his son
who is still hospitalized in
Honolulu missed Africa, where
they used to live, and had been
struggling in school.
Abdi said he learned of the per-
ilous journey Sunday when he got
a call from police in Hawaii, but he
couldnt understand how he got to
Maui and asked them to contact the
San Jose Police Department.
When I watched the analysis
about the extraordinary and dan-
gerous trip of my son on local TVs
and that Allah had saved him, I
thanked God and I was very
happy, Abdi said.
The Associated Press was unable
to reach Abdi, who airport ofcials
say drives a taxi.
After the boy was discovered in
Maui, FBI and Transportation
Security Administration investi-
gators questioned him and fed him
like a local with teriyaki meat-
balls and rice from an airport
restaurant and a box of Maui
macadamia nut cookies.

SAN FRANCISCO As other U.S. states
move to delay or halt implementation of the
shared learning framework known as the
Common Core, the new national math and
language standards still enjoy solid support
in California, according to a survey released
Wednesday.
The survey by the Public Policy Institute
of California found that the publics aware-
ness of the Common Core State Standards is
still sketchy, with just 19 percent of those
questioned saying they had heard a lot about
the benchmarks that made their debut in
classrooms this year, 37 percent saying
they had heard a little, and 43 percent
answering they had heard nothing at all.
But when respondents were read a short
description of the initiative, which has
been billed as a way to prepare high school
graduates for college and careers, seven in
10 said they favored it. The same proportion
said they support Californias new school-
funding system that directs more money to
schools with large numbers of children who
are learning English, living in low-income
households or in foster care.
The 1,702 adult Californians surveyed by
the institute were less sure, though, about
the ability of educators to execute the twin

SACRAMENTO State senators partici-
pated in a two-hour ethics training session
Wednesday, the fallout from a series of legal
cases involving Democratic lawmakers this
year that have damaged the Legislatures
image.
Two lawmakers have been charged with
corruption and bribery, while a third was
convicted for perjury and voter fraud.
Senate President Pro Tem Darrell
Steinberg canceled committee hearings and
ordered lawmakers and their top aides to
devote the day to ethics seminars at a state
library building and inside the Capitol. The
purpose of the closed-door sessions was to
reect on the Legislatures current practices
and prevent lawmakers and staff from put-
ting themselves in compromising situa-
tions, the Sacramento Democrat said.
We all have to look inside and ask our-
selves, How can we earn the public trust?
How can we repair some of the damage that
has been wrought as a result of recent
events? Steinberg told reporters after
Wednesdays training.
Earlier this month, the Senate suspended
Sens. Ronald Calderon of Montebello and
Leland Yee of San Francisco after they were
indicted on federal criminal charges.
Calderon is accused of accepting $100,000
in bribes for friends and family in exchange
for influencing legislation, and Yee was
charged with accepting bribes and orches-
trating weapons trafcking to help pay off
campaign debts.
Both pleaded not guilty. Athird Democrat,
Sen. Rod Wright, also was suspended after
being convicted earlier this year of voter
fraud and perjury for
lying about his legal res-
idence in Los Angeles
County. His sentencing
is scheduled for next
month.
Wednesdays schedule
included a presentation
about creating a culture of
ethics by Scott Raecker,
chief executive of the
Josephson Institute of
Ethics and executive director of Character
Counts In Iowa, a nonprot housed at Drake
University.
That was followed by a panel discussion
led by three election and campaign attor-
neys, including Democratic lawyer Lance
Olson, Republican lawyer Chuck Bell and
former assistant U.S. Attorney John
Panneton. Senators and staff were expected
to be presented with hypothetical scenarios
on ethical and legal issues.
Steinberg said it is unlikely such training
would have prevented the criminal charges.
However, he said there needs to be a discus-
sion about separating campaigning from
policymaking, even though money is
ingrained in politics.
While there is no ethics class that teach-
es the dangers of gun-running or taking
money in an envelope, thats not really
what this session was about, Steinberg
said. It was more about the subtle and
sometimes insidious impacts of all the
money that exists in politics.
For example, he said senators are expect-
ed to stop themselves from having a con-
versation about pending legislation
whether theyre attending a small or large
campaign event.

53 percent expressed condence that school districts would use the money wisely.

WASHINGTON The Obama administra-
tion is encouraging many nonviolent feder-
al prisoners to apply for early release and
expecting thousands to take up the offer.
Its an effort to deal with high costs and
overcrowding in prisons, and also a matter
of fairness, the government says.
On Wednesday, the Justice Department
unveiled a revamped clemency process
directed at low-level felons imprisoned for
at least 10 years who have clean records
while in custody. The effort is part of a
broader administration push to scale back
the use of harsh penalties in some drug
prosecutions and to address sentencing dis-
parities arising from the 1980s crack
cocaine epidemic that yielded dispropor-
tionately tough punishment for black drug
offenders.
These older, stringent punishments that
are out of line with sentences imposed under
todays laws erode peoples condence in
our criminal justice system, Deputy
Attorney General James Cole said, laying
out new criteria that will be used to evaluate
clemency petitions for possible recommen-
dation for the presidents approval.
Though the criteria apply solely to feder-
al inmates, states, too are grappling with
severe prison overcrowding. In Nebraska,
for example, prisons were at 155 percent of
capacity at the end of March. And in
California, courts have ordered the state to
reduce the inmate population to 137.5 per-
cent of designed capacity, or 112, 164
inmates in the 34 facilities, by February
2016.
The White House, sometimes criticized as
too stingy with its clemency power, says
its seeking more candidates for leniency in
an overcrowded federal prison system
whose costs comprise a sizable percentage
of the Justice Departments budget.
The systems population has skyrocketed
in recent decades, creating rising multibil-
lion-dollar expenses that officials say
threaten other law enforcement priorities
and that an inspector generals report last
year characterized as a growing crisis.
The United States incarcerates about a quar-
ter of the worlds prisoners. Of the roughly
216,000 inmates in federal custody, nearly
half are imprisoned for drug-related crimes.
The Justice Department says nows the
time to consider releasing more prisoners
early.
These defendants were properly held
accountable for their criminal conduct.
However, some of them, simply because of
the operation of sentencing laws on the
books at the time, received substantial sen-
tences that are disproportionate to what
they would receive today, Cole said.
Ofcials say they dont know how many
of the tens of thousands of drug-related con-
victs would be eligible for early release, but
an ideal candidate would meet six criteria
including no history of violence, no ties to
criminal organizations or gangs and a clean
prison record. He must also have already
served 10 years or more of his sentence and
be likely to have received a substantially
shorter offense if convicted of the same
offense today.
The Bureau of Prisons will notify all
inmates of the criteria next week and pro-
vide electronic surveys to those who think
they deserve clemency.
The Justice Department expects the vast
majority of applicants to be drug prisoners
but didnt foreclose the possibility that
inmates convicted of other crimes nan-
cial fraud, for example could be consid-
ered.
Its really a coming together of decades
of excessive sentencing, particularly in
drug cases, combined with attention to the
underused power of commutation, said
Marc Mauer, executive director of the
Sentencing Project, an organization that
works on sentencing policies.

SACRAMENTO Four candidates
vying to be the next secretary of state
offered competing visions on
Wednesday for controlling political
fundraising and how they would best
improve access and transparency for
California elections.
Arecent Field Poll shows Republican
Pete Peterson, executive director of the
Davenport Institute at Pepperdine
University, and state Sen. Alex Padilla,
D-Los Angeles, as the front-runners
heading into the Sacramento Press Club
debate.
Derek Cressman, a Democrat and a
former leader of the advocacy group
Common Cause, and Dan Schnur, a pro-
fessor of politics at the University of
Southern California and former state
ethics watchdog chair running as an
independent, also participated.
The race for the statewide office
responsible for elections and campaign
nance is magnied this year by recent
ethics scandals in the Legislature.
Democratic candidate Leland Yee, a state
senator from San Francisco, dropped
out of the race in March after he was
arrested on federal corruption charges.
In February, State Sen. Ron Calderon,
D-Montebello, was arrested on corrup-
tion charges in a separate case, and a
lobbying rm was slapped with a record
ne for giving illegal gifts and holding
lavish fundraisers for politicians.
Against this backdrop, the candidates
agreed that the Secretary of States
office should make it easier for
Californians to keep tabs on who is
giving money to politicians. But they
said they bring different skills to best
bring about change.
Padilla, the only elected ofcial still
in the race, said his relationships with
lawmakers and experience with the
state budget make him the candidate
best suited to get the money needed for
reform and to push for policy change.
Peterson said he is not an ideologue and
would approach the position with the
technical skills to manage records and a
passion for promoting citizen partici-
pation.
If there is one thing government
needs to be bigger about, it is support-
ing and promoting civic engagement,
Peterson said.
Cressman touted himself as the candi-
date with managerial experience as a
Common Cause vice president who has
fought against the influence of big
money in politics. Schnur said he would
be the best advocate for political reform
without partisan ties, despite his back-
ground as a Republican strategist
before dropping his afliation in 2011.
Candidates tout reform in secretary of state race
High court tosses $3.4M award to child porn victim
WASHINGTON The Supreme Court on Wednesday
rejected a plea to make it easier for victims of child pornog-
raphy to collect money from people who view their images
online, throwing out a nearly $3.4 million judgment in
favor of a woman whose childhood rape has been widely
seen on the Internet. Two dissenting justices said Congress
should change the law to benet victims.
The justices said in a 5-4 ruling that a 1994 federal law
gives victims the right to seek restitution from offenders,
but only to the extent that the victims losses are tied to the
offenders actions. In this case, Doyle Randall Paroline was
held liable by a federal appeals court for the entire amount of
the womans losses, though his computer contained just
two images of her, among more than 150 illicit photo-
graphs.
The case involved a woman known in court papers by the
pseudonym Amy. Her losses for psychological care, lost
income and attorneys fees have been pegged at nearly $3.4
million, based on the ongoing Internet trade and viewing of
images of her being raped by her uncle when she was 8 and
9 years old.
She said she was surprised and confused by the decision,
according to a statement her lawyer posted online.
Justice Anthony Kennedy said for the court that the appel-
late judges went too far when they said that Paroline was
responsible for all of the womans losses, without deter-
mining how much harm he caused her. Kennedy said federal
judges have to gure out the right amount, but he provided
only rough guideposts for determining an amount that t s
the offense.

Patricia Ann Moriarty Kockos
Patricia Ann Moriarty Kockos, cherished wife, mother,
grandmother, relative, and friend passed away peacefully
surrounded by her family Sunday, April 20, 2014. She was 88.
Preceded in death by her beloved husband, John H. Kockos,
and her treasured brothers and sisters, Joseph M. Moriarty,
Dorothy Dixon, Gwendolyn Keagle, and Virginia Cosgrave, Pat
was the loving mother of six children, Deborah Kockos, Kent
(Kelly), Jennifer Morse (Robert), Melissa Nightingale (David)
Mark, and Scott (Laura Carina) and the beloved grandmother
of 11 grandchildren, Alison Weese (Deborah), Jack and Katie (Kent), Jessica and Trevor Morse,
Jonathan, Derek and Brooke Nightingale, and Kaelin, Hailey, and Harrison (Scott.) She was the
adored mother-in-law to Robert Morse, David Nightingale, Laura Kockos and Kelly Kockos. Pat
will be deeply missed by her many nieces and nephews.
Pat, aka PK and Patsy, was born on March 2, 1926 to her parents, San Francisco natives,
Joseph Aloysius Moriarty and Amelia Carlson Moriarty. She grew up in San Franciscos Cole
Valley and was a graduate from Lowell High School and UC Berkeley.
A natural beauty, Patsy worked as a model and also enjoyed a brief career with Pan Am
where she discovered her lifelong love of travel. Patsy and John were married in 1950 and
eventually made their way from SF to Burlingame where they settled and raised their large
family and a multitude of dogs, cats and many other family pets.
Patricia was an amazing woman, and devout Catholic, revered for her inner beauty and
loved for her witty Irish humor. She had the unique ability and open heart to make everyone
feel special and welcome. A child at heart, she kept her home open to those anxious for a good
laugh, a gourmet meal, her vast offerings of desserts, or just to share her love of children and
animals. She was known as a skilled fund raiser by her favorite charities, The Medical Mission
Sisters and St. Catherine of Siena Church and was famous amongst the Burlingame Avenue
merchants who could not resist her charms when asked for auction item donations.
Pat gave so selessly to everyone in so many ways that we are forever in her debt and she will
be forever missed by all of her family and friends.

Obituary
By Julie Pace
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOKYO President Barack Obama is
seeking to reassure Japanese leaders
Thursday that he can deliver on his security
and economic pledges to Asia even as the
crisis in Ukraine demands U.S. attention
and resources elsewhere.
The ominous standoff between Ukraine
and Russia is threatening to overshadow
Obamas four-country Asia swing that began
Wednesday. He may decide during the trip
whether to levy new economic sanctions on
Moscow, a step that would signal the failure
of an international agreement aimed at
defusing the crisis.
But at least publicly, Obama will try to
keep the focus on his Asia agenda, which
includes reafrming his commitment to a
defense treaty with Japan, making progress
on a stalled trans-Pacic trade agreement
and nalizing a deal to modestly increase
the American military footprint in the
Philippines.
Obama steered clear of more sensitive top-
ics like the trade and China tensions as he
and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe sat down for
a morning meeting at Tokyos Akasaka
Palace. Instead, Obama spoke of a U.S.-
Japanese bond that transcends its military
alliance.
My visit here I think once again repre-
sents my deep belief that a strong U.S.-
Japan relationship is not only good for our
countries, but the world, Obama said.
Abe, speaking through a translator, said
he and Obama would be discussing the future
of the indispensable and irreplaceable
alliance. He and Obama planned to answer
questions from reporters after their meeting.
Obama began his day with a call on
Emperor Akihito at the Imperial Palace, a
lush park-like complex surrounded by mod-
ern skyscrapers where he was greeted by a
military honor guard and children holding
U.S. and Japanese ags. After taking in the
scene, the president, emperor and empress
walked along a maze of red carpet into the
palace for a private meeting, with U.S.
Ambassador Caroline Kennedy and other
aides trailing behind.
The president told the emperor that the
last time they met, he did not have any gray
hairs. You have a very hard job, the
emperor replied.
Obama opened the rst state visit by an
American president to Japan in nearly 20
years on Wednesday night, when he and Abe
had dinner at Tokyos famed sushi restaurant
Sukiyabashi Jiro. The restaurant is run by
88-year-old Jiro Ono, whose meticulous
technique was detailed in the 2011 documen-
tary Jiro Dreams of Sushi.
Abe told reporters Obama praised the meal
as the best sushi he had had in his life.
Later Thursday, Obama planned to return
to the Imperial Palace for a state dinner. He
also plans to visit the Meiji Shrine, which
honors the emperor whose reign saw Japan
emerge from over two centuries of isolation
to become a world power.
Obamas stops in Japan, South Korea,
Malaysia and the Philippines serve as
something of a do-over after he canceled a
visit to Asia last fall because of the U.S.
government shutdown. The cancellation
provided fresh fodder for those in the region
who worry that the White Houses much-
hyped pivot to Asia is continually taking a
backseat to other foreign and domestic pri-
orities.

BEIRUT Syrian government forces
have attacked rebel-held areas with poison-
ous chlorine gas in recent weeks and
months, leaving men, women and children
coughing, choking and gasping for breath,
according to Associated Press interviews
with more than a dozen activists, medics
and residents on the opposition side.
Syria atly denied the allegations, and
they have yet to be conrmed by any for-
eign country or international organization.
But if true, they highlight the limitations of
the global effort to rid President Bashar
Assads government of its chemical
weapons.
Witnesses near Damascus and in a central
rebel-held village told the AP of dozens of
cases of choking, fainting and other afic-
tions from inhaling fumes that some said
were yellowish and smelled like chlorine
cleanser. Some of those interviewed said
they believe the gas was responsible for at
least two deaths.
They said the fumes came from hand
grenades and helicopter-dropped barrel
bombs, which are crude containers packed
with explosives and shrapnel.
Activists have posted videos similar,
though on a far smaller scale, to those from
last Augusts chemical weapons attack near
Damascus that killed hundreds of people and
nearly triggered U.S. airstrikes against
Syria. The new footage depicts pale-faced
men, women and children coughing and
gasping at eld hospitals.
The U.N. Security Council called for an
investigation Wednesday. Council members
expressed grave concern over the allega-
tions, said Nigerias U.N. Ambassador U.
Joy Ogwu, council president.
Its an accusation that carries high stakes,
and the Syrian opposition has an interest in
pushing such claims in hopes of spurring
the world to take stern action against Assad,
who has been locked in a civil war for three
years and faces a Sunday deadline for hand-
ing over all his chemical weapons for
destruction.
Chlorine is a potentially lethal chemical
with a multitude of ordinary civilian uses,
including laundry bleach and swimming-
pool disinfectant. In high concentrations,
it can attack the lungs and asphyxiate vic-
tims.
While chlorine was rst deployed on the
battleeld in World War I, it is no longer
ofcially considered a warfare agent and is
not among the chemicals declared by Syria.
It is not as effective at killing as sarin
the nerve agent that was apparently used
last summer and experts say it is difcult
to achieve high concentrations of chlorine
by dropping it from the air.
Still, any toxic chemical is considered to
be a chemical weapon if used for military
purposes. Consequently, Syrias use of
chlorine-lled bombs, if conrmed, would
be a violation of the chemical weapons
treaty that Assads government signed last
year as part of a deal to hand over its stock-
pile.

NEWYORK If the Heartbleed security
threat teaches us anything, its that pass-
words dont offer total protection.
Browsers are supposed to keep passwords
and other sensitive data safe, but a techni-
cal aw in a widely used padlock security
technology allows hackers to grab the
information anyway. Even without this lat-
est discovery, there have been countless
disclosures of hackers breaking in to grab
usernames and passwords, plus credit card
numbers and more.
Thats why many security experts recom-
mend a second layer of authentication
typically in the form of a numeric code sent
as a text message. If youre logging in to a
website from your laptop, for example, you
enter your password rst. Then you type in
the code you receive via text to verify that
its really you and not a hacker.
Ive been using whats known as two-fac-
tor authentication or two-step verication
on most of my accounts for more than a
year, after seeing too many mysterious
attempts to reset my Facebook password
by someone who isnt me. The main excep-
tion was Gmail, but I enabled that recently
after the discovery of Heartbleed. I was
afraid the second authentication would be a
pain to use, but things are going more
smoothly than I expected after the initial
setup.
The idea behind these double-layer pass-
words is to make it harder to use a password
thats compromised or guessed. Youre
asked for a second piece of information that
only you are supposed to know.
To balance security and convenience, you
can typically bypass this check the next
time you use the same Web browser or
device. It wont help if someone steals your
laptop, but itll prevent others from using
your password on their machines. If youre
logging in at a library or other public com-
puter, remember to reject the option to
bypass that check next time.
The second piece of authentication could
be your ngerprint or retina scan, though
such biometric IDs are rarely used for con-
sumer services. Financial services typical-
ly ask for a security question, such as the
name of your childhood pet, the rst time
you use a particular Web browser or device.
Thats better than nothing, though answers
can sometimes be guessed or looked up.
Some banks offer verication codes by text
messaging, too.

Letters to the editor
The Wall Street Journal
C
hemical weapons are again being
used in Syria. Israeli newspapers,
citing senior Israeli defense of-
cials, have reported that Bashar Assads
regime used chemical agents at least twice
on March 27 in the Harsata neighborhood
of Damascus. Then the rebel-controlled vil-
lage of Kfar Zeita was attacked April 11 by
what seems to have been chlorine gas
dropped from the air. Some 150 people are
reported injured. Three are dead.
Both sides in the conict agree that
chemicals were used, but as is its habit the
Assad regime blames Syrian rebels. And as
is the Obama Administrations habit, its ,
well, studying the matter. We are trying to
run this down, U.N. Ambassador Samantha
Power said on ABCs This Week on
Sunday. So far, its unsubstantiated, but
weve seen, I think, in the past that we will
do everything in our power to establish
what has happened and then consider pos-
sible steps in response.
Ayear ago, the Administration was also
saying it couldnt say for sure whether the
Assad regime was behind a series of small-
scale chemical attacks. Then 1,000 people
were gassed in Damascus. The
Administration stopped denying any
knowledge, then threatened the use of
force, then agreed to do nothing in return
for Assads promise to get rid of his chemi-
cal arsenal.
The latest attacks are taking place amid
claims that Syria has relinquished more
than half of its declared chemical stockpile
and promises to hand over the rest by the
end of the month. This is supposed to be a
triumph of Administration diplomacy. But
note the word declared. What the regime
or elements of its military have failed to
declare or turnover is another matter. In the
meantime, Assad has turned the tide of war
and is routing his enemiesa victory for
him and his patrons in Tehran and Moscow.
All of which illustrates the perils of cut-
ting arms-control deals with rogue
regimes. They inevitably cheat, but the
temptation of the West is to overlook the
cheating lest it expose the arms agreement
as a mistake. The Russians are supposed to
lean on Assad to honor the terms, but
Vladimir Putin has every incentive now to
let him cheat and further bedevil the U.S.
(see above). As for President Obama, his
legacy may yet include an Assad triumph
using chemical weapons.
Save the Bridgepointe ice rink
Editor,
Fellow citizens and leaders of our grand
city, I humbly ask you to carefully consider
the current and long-term impact of losing
yet another community facility: the
Bridgepointe Ice Rink.
I am a resident of San Mateo and I am pro-
business but, like many of you, I strongly
believe that the interests of the community
at large far outweigh the nancial gains of
one, especially when exchanged merely for
a retail store.
We should be adding recreational activi-
ties and facilities to improve the health and
well-being of our children and all residents,
but instead, the developer has shut access to
our communitys only ice rink and is asking
our elected city ofcials to give him the
green light to demolish it and replace it with
a big box store.
To learn more and help demonstrate your
belief and commitment to the community,
please attend the developers presentation 7
p.m. tonight at the San Mateo Marriott,
1770 S. Amphlett Blvd.
Ultimately, it will be up to the San Mateo
City Council to vote on the developers pro-
posal, so please write and call our citys
councilmembers and ask them to Save The
Rink and also sign the petition at

PG&E lawsuit
Editor,
As we watch the high-stakes poker game
between PG&E and the federal court, it is
important that we take a step back and real-
ize that none of the players have their own
chips in the game. Who pays for the prose-
cuting attorneys we, the taxpayer. Who
pays for PG&Es attorneys at the end of
the day, it will be the stockholders and the
consumers, not PG&E management.
The underlying problem is that we are
dealing with a monopoly utility company.
If a car manufacturer builds a poor quality
car, you can buy a different brand.
Competition makes for better cars. PG&E
has no competition. After the smoke clears,
we will all be using PG&E and management
will still be receiving their multi-million
dollar salaries. The likelihood of this suit
reaching managements pockets is nil.
Perhaps the victims will have some sense of
satisfaction if there is a big ne, but the
only real winners will be the lawyers. If
there is a big ne, the costs will be passed
on to the stockholders and the consumers.
All the money that will be spent on this
lawsuit would be better utilized if it went for
a better oversight and inspection process of
PG&Es policies and procedures.

Response to Jackie Speier
Editor,
Treat climate change like a security
threat in the April 22 edition of the Daily
Journal was a great piece by U.S. Rep.
Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, undermined by
her use of the phrase, Despite near scientif-
ic consensus, which is both inaccurate and
betrays a lack of condence in her position.
There is denitive scientic evidence for the
existence and human cause for climate
change. If delivered at an academic confer-
ence, her language would be deemed an
understatement. In politics, there is an
expectation of overstatement. Dont be
defensive, congresswoman. On your side is
the truth, and at stake is the fate of the earth.

on a master plan. In the past, most work is
done after the bond has passed. The total
amount of the bond will not be the total
dollars available for construction because
the district will leverage state-matching
funds, and the total funds available will
probably double.
From resolution ordering election:
Whereas, if the project to be funded by the
bonds will require state matching funds for
any phase, the sample ballot must contain
a statement, in form prescribed by law,
advising the voters of that fact, and the
Board of Trustees nds that completion of
all or a portion of certain projects listed in
the bond project list will not require state
matching funds not yet received by the dis-
trict.
What will they do with the state match-
ing grant funds which are not required for
completion of all or a portion of certain
projects listed in the bond project list?
How will the bonds be issued?

New direction
for San Carlos
By Matt Kowitt
I
f only we knew then what we know
now. Get talking with almost anyone
in San Carlos about kids and
schools, and eventually the old San Carlos
High School comes up. San Carlos High,
home of the Dons,
closed in 1982 in
response to declining
enrollment. Six years
later, the campus was
razed and sold for hous-
ing development, with a
portion of the land
transformed into
Highlands Park. The
same story describes the old Laureola
Elementary School, which closed in 1978
and was later sold off for development.
Less well known were the additional future
school sites, places with names like Site 8
and Site 10, that were held by the San
Carlos school district in the western part
of town in preparation for a growing popu-
lation in the middle of the last century.
After enrollments peaked and began
declining in the 1970s, budget pressures
led to the sale of these properties as well,
mostly for development.
Today, our schools are bursting at the
seams with growing enrollment and need
to expand capacity. Its easy now, with the
benet of nearly 40 years experience and
hindsight, to wish we could go back and
make different decisions. We can look at
the exception of Tierra Linda Middle
School, closed in 1982 during the same era
but thankfully not sold off that site was
available to reopen in 2001 and is now a
full, thriving middle school as well as
home to Charter Learning Center, or CLC.
San Carlos, like much of the Peninsula,
is essentially built out. The few remaining
patches of vacant land are of course the
most challenging to develop. It is neither
possible nor desirable to try to undo the
losses of former school land: those sites
now are part of our community. Families
live there and have made those places
home.
But, there is an opportunity today for
San Carlos to set a new course. To turn the
corner on a 40-year trend of losing land
that has once and will again be desperately
needed for schools and public benet. The
undeveloped city land at the top of
Crestview, near Club Drive and across the
street from Vista Park, should be developed
as a school site to house the nearly 400 K-
8 students of CLC, making room on the
Tierra Linda campus for a new fourth-,
fth-grade school. This can be accom-
plished if the city of San Carlos accepts a
proposed land swap from San Carlos
Elementary School District, trading the
Crestview property to the district for
around 4 acres at the edge of Tierra Linda
for development as a sports facility.
The San Carlos City Council met on
Tuesday, April 22 to discuss the land swap
proposal. Much work remains to be done,
and no rm guidance was given by the
council about how a deal might be struc-
tured. However, all ve members of the
City Council concurred that an important
next step should be to put the question
directly to the voters of San Carlos. This
would likely happen sometime this fall.
The time to act is now. The students are
here, and construction cannot wait. San
Carlans should seize this opportunity to
be good stewards of the communitys
resources.
Matt Kowitt is a 16-year resident of San
Carlos, and the current board chair of San
Carlos Charter Learning Center.

NEWYORK Stocks edged mostly
lower Wednesday, breaking a six-day
winning streak, as investors were dis-
appointed by the latest round of earn-
ings from U.S. companies.
A surprise drop in new home sales
also weighed on the broader market.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
lost 4.16 points, or 0.2 percent, to
1,875.39. The Dow Jones industrial
average lost 12.72 points, or 0.1 per-
cent, to 16,501.65 and the Nasdaq
composite fell 34.49 points, or 0.8
percent, to 4,126.97.
Since hitting a two-month low on
April 11, the index had increased 3.5
percent through Tuesday. It is not
unusual for the stock market to pause
after such a rally.
The market, even with those six
days of gains, is still struggling to
choose a direction, said Joseph
Tanious, a global market strategist
with J.P. Morgan Funds.
High-flying biotechnology and
Internet stocks were among the hard-
est hit.
Surgical robot maker Intuitive
Surgical fell the most in the S&P 500,
plunging $48.40, or 12 percent, to
$373.93. The company reported a 77
percent drop in first-quarter earnings
and sold half has many robots as it did
in the same period a year earlier. The
company warned two weeks ago that
earnings would come in far below
expectations, causing its stock to fall
sharply from a recent high of
$540.63 reached April 3.
Amgen fell 5 percent after it also
reported a steep drop in quarterly earn-
ings, missing analysts expectations.
One bright spot in biotechnology
was Gilead Sciences. The drugmaker
rose $1, or 1.4 percent, to $73.86
after the company reported a surge in
first-quarter earnings. Gileads drug
Sovaldi, a new treatment for Hepatitis
C, had $2.3 billion in sales in the
first quarter alone, which beat the
record for any drug in its first whole
year on the market. While Sovaldi has
a 90 percent success rate in curing
Hepatitis C, the drug has a price of
$1,000 per pill, or around $84,000
for a typical course of treatment.
AT&T, despite posting quarterly
results that beat analysts expecta-
tions, wasnt able to impress
investors this quarter. The Dow mem-
bers shares fell $1.37, or 4 percent,
to $34. 92. The company reported
earnings of 71 cents a share, one cent
ahead of analysts expectations, and
quarterly sales of $32.48 billion,
which also beat expectations.
Other telecom stocks also fell.
Verizon fell 49 cents, or 1 percent, to
$47.43 while T-Mobile US lost
$1.28, or 3.8 percent, to $29.81.
Airline stocks were among the
biggest advancers. Delta Air Lines
rose $2.14, or 6 percent, to $37.09.
Deltas first-quarter earnings climbed
after the company filled more seats on
planes and paid less for fuel. Delta
was the biggest gainer in the S&P
500.
Plane maker Boeing rose $3.08, or
2.4 percent, to $130.63. Its quarterly
earnings beat expectations as its
commercial jet production increased.
U.S. company earnings have been
generally coming in better than what
investors had expected. But expecta-
tions are low this quarter, investors
said, because the harsh winter earlier
this year slowed business activity
across the country. Earnings in the
S&P 500 are expected to be down 1.5
percent from a year ago, according to
FactSet.
Stocks edge lower after a six-day rise
The market, even with those six days of
gains, is still struggling to choose a direction.

WASHINGTON The number of
Americans buying new homes plummet-
ed in March to the slowest pace in eight
months, a sign that real estates spring
buying season is off to a weak start.
The Commerce Department said
Wednesday that sales of new homes
declined 14.5 percent last month to a
seasonally adjusted annual rate of
384,000. That was the second straight
monthly decline and the lowest rate
since July 2013.
Sales plunged in the Midwest, South
and West in March. But they rebounded
in the Northeast, where snowstorms in
previous months curtailed purchases.
New-home sales have declined 13.3
percent over the past 12 months.
Our core view is that the housing
market has stalled and wont con-
tribute to overall economic growth
this year, said Ian Shepherdson, chief
economist at Pantheon
Macroeconomics.
Rising home prices have caused
some buyers to back off at the lower
end of the market, while new-home
buyers at the top continue to buy. As a
result, median sales prices jumped
12.6 percent during the past month to
$290,000.
Home sales usually improve with the
start of the spring. More would-be
buyers venture to open houses.
Families with children often begin to
look for homes so that they can move
once the school year ends.
Builders anticipated a snap back
with the warmer weather. There were
193,000 new homes for sale at the end
of the month, about 39,000 more than
the same period last month.
Sales of new homes plunge 14.5 percent in March
Safeway reports first-quarter loss
PLEASANTON Safeway on Wednesday posted a net
loss for the rst quarter because of higher costs and acqui-
sition expenses.
The grocery-store chain is being acquired by an invest-
ment group in a deal worth about $7.64 billion. The deal,
which combines Safeway and Albertsons, is expected to
close in the fourth quarter.
Safeway and other grocery store operators have been
trying to adapt to a changing supermarket industry, with
people increasingly doing their shopping at big-box
stores like Target, drug stores and even dollar stores. In
addition, they must balance between customers need for
low price food and uctuating food costs.
The company said it lost $76.5 million, or 34 cents per
share, in the three months ended March 22. That com-
pares with net income of $118.9 million, or 49 cents per
share, a year ago. Excluding one-time items, prot totaled
6 cents per share. Analysts expected adjusted net income
of 18 cents per share.
While sales met plan in the rst quarter, income was
slightly below plan, in part as a result of ination in pro-
duce, meat and pharmacy that was not fully passed along
for competitive reasons, said CEO Robert Edwards. He
added that cost cuts should boost protability in the sec-
ond half of 2014.
Telsa Motors expanding in California
LATHROP Electric car maker Tesla Motors is expand-
ing its footprint in California.
The company has leased a 430,000-square-foot building
in Lathrop, a community on Interstate 5 about 75 miles
east of San Francisco. Tesla has not said what it plans to
do with the space.
The building used to serve as a DaimlerChrysler parts
distribution center, though it has sat vacant for several
years.
Tesla currently has manufacturing space in the San
Francisco Bay Area. It also plans to put up a massive bat-
tery factory, though California does not appear to be in
the running for that.
The Sacramento Bee reports that the Lathrop facility is
too small for the battery plant.
Zynga founder Pincus leaving operations role
NEW YORK Online game maker Zyngas founder
Mark Pincus is stepping down as chief product ofcer,
less than a year after he was replaced as the companys
CEO, as the companys sales slide.
Zynga said Wednesday that Pincus will remain chairman
of the company he founded in 2007.
Zynga went public in 2011 on the strength of games
like Farmville and Maa Wars, which had enthusias-
tic Facebook followings. But then rival digital game
makers invaded Facebook and more people migrated to
other pastimes on smartphones. Zynga has been cutting
jobs and posting losses.

Loucks defense lifts Carlmont
E
very high school athlete dreams of
making a living in their chosen
sport usually by playing pro-
fessionally.
Many fail to realize, however, there are
other avenues to achieve a profession in
sports without actually playing.
Ivan Bandov realized this early on.
Bandov, a 2003 graduate of Burlingame,
has turned his passion for the game of soc-
cer into his profes-
sion. Bandov was the
starting goalkeeper
for the Panthers his
junior and senior sea-
sons and started his
coaching career run-
ning his own goalie
training camp. He
later coached the
Burlingame boys
frosh-soph team, and
later the Carlmont
girls frosh-soph
team, and has consis-
tently moved up the coaching ladder.
It hasnt come easy and its a lot of hard
work and scrambling, but Bandov seems to
have found his niche as a youth soccer
coach.
I just feel lucky, Bandov said. How
many people get to say I love going to
work every day and make a living?
Bandov, 28, has a number of irons in the
re. He coaches the Mountain View High
School girls varsity squad which has
been among the best in the Central Coast
Section the last two years. He is an assis-
tant coach at City College of San
Francisco which is one of the best
community college programs in the state.
He also coaches four girls teams for
Redwood City-based Juventus Sports Club,
serves as the assistant coaching director
for the girls teams and has also started
helping out on the boys side as well.
Talk about having your hands full.

OAKLAND Golden State Warriors
coach Mark Jackson sat on the scorers
table at Oracle Arena on Wednesday morn-
ing. He gazed around the building and tried
to envision what it will
look and sound like when
the Warriors host the Los
Angeles Clippers for
Game 3 of their first-
round playoff series
Thursday night.
A gold-shirt wearing
sellout crowd of 19,596.
Roars so loud that, at
times, they drown out
whistles. The sights and sounds all embody-
ing the spirit of the teams postseason
motto: Loud. Proud. Warriors.
Its going to be a great environment,
Jackson said. But with that being said,
they wont get a stop, they wont get a
score, they wont make a free throw. Weve
got to do our part.
The Warriors will indeed need to regain
more than their homecourt prowess if they
want to pull off another upset in the rst
round of the playoffs.
They need to rediscover their game.
Blake Grifn and the Clippers crushed
Golden State 138-98 in Los Angeles on
Monday night to even the best-of-seven
series at a game apiece. The third-seeded
Clippers showed just why most had picked
them to beat the sixth-seeded Warriors,
coming back from a foul-lled opener with
an all-around game that wouldve worked in
any venue.
In Game 1, Grifn had 16 points and three
rebounds in 19 minutes before he fouled out.
The All-Star forward regrouped to score a
career playoff-high 35 points in Game 2. He
shot 13 of 17 from the oor, made 9 of 10
free throws and grabbed six rebounds
doing it all in just 30 minutes.
The Clippers forced 26 turnovers, shut-
down streaky shooting Stephen Curry most
of the game and took advantage of the
absence of Warriors center Andrew Bogut

LOS ANGELES Joe Thornton and the
Sharks have been in command of many playoff
series over the past decade. The San Jose captain
has also seen just how easily control slips away
during nine straight postseason trips without
raising the Stanley Cup.
Thats why the Sharks are
both comfortable and con-
cerned with a chance to n-
ish off the reeling Los
Angeles Kings in Game 4 of
the rst round on Thursday
night.
Dont give us a passing
grade yet, because were
still taking the test,
Sharks coach Todd McLellan said Wednesday
after the Sharksmellow skate at Staples Center.
After so many years of playoff disappoint-
ments, the Sharks are one win away from kick-
ing off their latest postseason run with quite a
sweeping statement.
Not even the Sharks themselves thought they
could outskate, outhit and thoroughly outplay
the Kings, whose own postseason credentials
are unquestioned after their title run just two
years ago. Kings goalie Jonathan Quick and the
NHLs best defensive team have been shredded
for 17 goals by the Sharks balanced lines.
The Sharks got in position to eliminate the
2012 champs and their biggest rivals with a 4-3
victory in Game 3 on Patrick Marleaus fourth
career overtime-winning goal, matching
Jaromir Jagr for the most among active players.
Were a condent group right now, and hope-
fully we can show that (in Game 4), Thornton
said. (Game 3) could have gone either way. We
know how close it is.
Starting with the franchises rst trip to the
Western Conference nals in 2004, the Sharks
have won 10 playoff series and made the confer-
ence nals three times. San Jose has missed the
playoffs just once since 1997, right before
Marleau joined the club.
But one more victory would clinch just the
second series sweep in Sharks history, joining
last seasons rst-round whitewash of
Vancouver.
Were coming to win and nish them in
Game 4, Sharks forward Logan Couture said.

Carlmont shortstop Mike McGill applies the tag to Burlingames Grifn Intrieri on a third-inning steal attempt during the Scots 7-3 victory.
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
For Carlmont catcher Connor Loucks, the
strategy behind the plate is simple.
Dont be afraid of the ball, Loucks
said. Pretend your chest is a glove and
absorb everything.
Loucks did that all day long Wednesday in
Carlmonts 7-3 win at Burlingame. The soph-
omore may not have had a productive day at
the plate. In fact, he made two outs in the
same inning when the Scots batted around
during a ve-run third.
But Loucks was a savage behind the dish.
Thats the way Scots starting pitcher Matt
Seubert describes his younger battery mate.
Hes a savage, Seubert said. Hes a soph-
omore but he doesnt play like one. I love
him back there.
As strong as Seubert was after he settled into
a rhythm Wednesday, it was Loucks who wres-
tled control of the game from behind the plate.
[Seubert] is not easy to catch, so its a lot
to throw at [Loucks] but the kid is just a
sponge, Carlmont pitching coach Bob
Sargent said.
Burlingame jumped out to an early 1-0 lead
in the rst. After a one-out single by Andrew
Kennedy and a walk to Ryan Kammuller,
cleanup hitter Jonathan Engelmann con-
nected for a towering drive to left that one-
hopped the ivy wall in the spacious connes
of Washington Park. Carlmont caught a
break when the ball got momentarily lost in
the ivy for a ground-rule double on a play
which Kammuller would have easily scored
from rst base.
Kammuller was sent back to third though,
and with two runners in scoring position and
one out, Loucks put on a ball-blocking clin-
ic. One of his blocks resulted in Kammuller
getting caught in a rundown between third and
home for the second out of the inning.
Seubert then chalked up his rst of ve strike-
outs on the afternoon to strand Engelmann in
scoring position.
In the beginning I was overthrowing a lit-
tle bit, Seubert said. But youve just got to
settle down and let your defense work. Thats
all you can do.
Carlmont did exactly that. In addition to
Loucks pouncing on over a dozen pitches in
the dirt with runners on base throughout, the
Scots turned in a pair of defensive gems late
in the game to protect a sizeable lead.

Reverse Mortgage -Te Line of Credit Tat Grows
One of the most overlooked benefts of the
Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) is
the growing line of credit. This unique feature
allows for your unused line of credit balance to
increase over time. The growth rate on the
unused portion in the line of credit is deter-
mined by the current interest rate on the loan
plus 1.25%. For example, if the current rate is
2.25%, the growth rate will be 3.50%. If the
interest rate on the loan increases, so will the
growth rate on the line of credit, so more funds
become available to the homeowner.
A reverse mortgage is a loan that enables
homeowners 62 or older to borrow against the
equity in their home, without having to give up
title, or take on a new monthly mortgage
payment. The money received can be used for
any purpose. The loan amount depends on the
borrowers age, current interest rates, and the
value of the home. Homeowner must remain
current on property taxes and insurance. A
reverse mortgage does not have to be repaid
until the borrower sells or moves out of the
home permanently, and the repayment amount
cannot exceed the value of the home. After the
loan is repaid, any remaining equity is distrib-
uted to the borrower or the borrowers estate.

What should have been a showdown
between two of the top softball teams in the
Peninsula Athletic Leagues Ocean Division
turned into a lopsided affair.
Menlo-Atherton jumped out to a quick 1-0
lead in the top of the rst inning against San
Mateo Wednesday, but it was short-lived.
The Bearcats scored three in the bottom of
the opening inning, put up a ve-spot in the
second and cruised to an 11-1 win in a game
that was halted after 4 1/2 innings because
of the 10-run mercy rule.
San Mateo played a great game, good fun-
damental ball, said M-A coach Rick
Vujovich. San Mateo was better than us
today.
M-A (4-3 PAL Ocean, 12-6 overall) came
into Wednesdays showdown coming off a
15-0 shellacking of Shasta Charter School
of Daly City Tuesday, scoring 15 runs on
just seven hits. That game was called
because of the 15-run three-inning mercy
rule. Wednesday, it appeared the Bears
picked up where they left off Tuesday, as they
scratched out a run on a pair of hits to open
the game against the Bearcats in San Mateo.
With one out, Emily Katz singled and Erin
Goode walked to bring up freshman catcher
Sarah Tiemann, who smoked a single up the
middle into center eld with Katz coming
around to score on a close play at the plate.
The Bears had a chance to do more damage,
but San Mateo pitcher Gina Titus worked out
of the jam with a strikeout and a foulout to
rst to end the inning.
Youre always thinking (its going to be
a good day when you score early), Vujovich
said. But then their pitcher shut us down.
She made the adjustments.
It was also a sign of things to come as
Titus held the Bears to just one more hit over
the next four innings a Taylor Conrad
double in the top of the fth.
The Bearcats defense gave their pitcher
some solid defense as well. Paige Stoveland
was a vacuum at shortstop and rst baseman
Breana Picchi handled all the throws that
came her way.
[Titus] pitched well and our defense
played well, said San Mateo coach Randy
Boardman. She pitched a solid game.
San Mateo (4-2, 6-7) was on top of its
game offensively as well. The Bearcats
scored 11 runs on just six hits, taking advan-
tage of ve M-Aerrors and four walks.
Half of the Bearcats hits were loud, how-
ever, as they nished with three extra-base
hits all doubles.
We started hitting today, Boardman said.
Weve done some live pitching in practice
(as opposed to a pitching machine) and it
paid off.
San Mateo wasted little time in erasing the
M-Alead, taking the lead for good with three
runs in the bottom of the rst inning. Taylor
Doi walked and Nicole Chiu reached on an
ineld hit.
After Chiu beat the throw, the M-A rst
baseman tried to throw out Doi at third, but
the ball skipped past the third baseman and
out of play, enabling Doi to score and Chiu
to take third.
Just like that, the game was tied at 1.
It wouldnt be tied for long. Stoveland
then walked and Andrea Holcombe hit a sac-
rice to left eld, driving in Chiu for a 2-1
San Mateo lead. Following a groundout,
Picchi hit a routine grounder to third for
what should have been the nal out of the
inning, but the ball went under the third
basemans glove, allowing Stoveland to
score to give the Bearcats a 3-1 lead after one
inning.
San Mateo all but put the game away with
a ve-run second. The Bearcats rapped out
four hits and sent nine batters to the plate.
Stoveland had the rst big hit of the inning,
a two-run single, but it was Picchi who bust-
ed the game open with a bases-loaded double
to center.
M-A pitcher Katz retired the Bearcats in
order in the third, but San Mateo added two
more runs in the bottom of the fourth, with
Chiu scoring on a wild pitch and Abbie
Holcombe driving in Andrea Holcombe on a
groundout.
The Bearcats reached the 10-run lead with a
run in the bottom of the fourth when they
loaded the bases and Stoveland drove in her
third run of the game with a sacrice y to
left eld.
Weve been in every game weve played
this season, Boardman said. Its just that
our offense stagnates.
M-A had a chance to extend the game
when, with two outs in the top of the fth,
Conrad doubled down the left-eld line and
went to third after the Bearcats had trouble
getting the ball back to the ineld.
But Titus induced a grounder to shortstop
to end the game.
We didnt get the hits (we needed),
Vujovich said.

DENVER Hector Sanchez hit two of San
Franciscos six homers, including a grand
slam in the 11th inning Wednesday that gave
the Giants a wild 12-10 victory over the
Colorado Rockies.
With the Giants on the verge of being swept
in a three-game series at Coors Field for the
rst time in 12 years, Sanchez drove a fastball
from Chad Bettis (0-1) into the bushes behind
center eld. The backup catcher also hit a solo
homer in the eighth.
Michael Morse also hit two homers a
solo shot in the second and a three-run homer
the following inning as two Giants hit mul-
tiple homers in the same game for the rst
time since May 25, 2005. Brandon Hicks and
Brandon Belt also went deep as the Giants ral-
lied from a 5-1, second-inning decit.
Jean Machi (4-0) got one out in a clean 10th
to earn the win. Sergio Romo struggled in a
non-save situation, surrendering a two-run
homer to Justin Morneau but retiring Brandon
Barnes on a game-ending 5-4-3 double play.
Hunter Pence led off the 11th with a single
and Belt followed with a walk. After a sacrice,
Joaquin Arias was intentionally walked to get
to Sanchez, who delivered his rst career slam.
Sanchez nished with a career-high ve
RBIs.
He sent the rst pitch from reliever Matt
Belisle into the second deck to give the Giants
an 8-7 lead in the eighth. But the Rockies tied
it in the bottom half when D.J. LeMahieu sin-
gled and was bunted over to second. He went to
third on a balk by Santiago Casilla and scored
on Charlie Blackmons sharp grounder to
Hicks, who couldnt eld it cleanly to make a
play at home.
Matt Cain allowed seven runs, 10 hits and
three walks in six innings and is 0-3 with a
4.35 ERAin ve starts.
Blackmon nished 2 for 5 with a homer and
four runs lowering his batting average to
.410. Troy Tulowitzki added a two-run homer
and Nolan Arenado extended his hitting streak
to 14 games with an RBI double in the sev-
enth.
Belts two-run homer in the seventh gave
the Giants a 7-6 lead and came off Rex
Brothers. The hard-throwing lefty surrendered
a game-ending, 10th-inning homer to
Brandon Crawford on April 13.
Arenado tied the game with an RBI double
off Cain. With two on and no outs, reliever
Jeremy Affeldt was summoned into the game
and got the Giants out of the predicament.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy tinkered with
his starting lineup, resting catcher Buster
Posey and outelder Angel Pagan, who been
bothered by knee soreness. Pagan entered as a
pinch hitter in the eighth and grounded out.
Posey was intentionally walked in the 10th.
Bochy said Pagan will have his knee
checked out Thursday in San Francisco.
NOTES: Bochy was ejected in the fourth
inning by plate umpire Chris Conroy,
Bochys rst ejection this season. ... The
Giants and Rockies are both off Thursday.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND Over the course of a 162-game season, every
team will go through some rough stretches.
Its just been a long time since the Oakland Athletics have
endured one at home.
Martin Perez pitched his second consecutive shutout to extend
his scoreless innings streak to 26 and the Texas Rangers wrapped
up a three-game sweep of the As with a 3-0 victory Wednesday.
Youre going to have your little lumps in the road, As third
baseman Josh Donaldson said. Everybody knows that here. We
just have to come back.
The As lost three straight for the rst time since last August and
were swept at home for the rst time since September 2012
against the Angels, ending a streak of 32 straight home series
with at least one win.
Texas rst sweep against Oakland since September 2012
moved the Rangers into rst place in the AL West, a half-game
ahead of the As.
They just beat us, manager Bob Melvin said. Not much you
can say about that. They played better than we did and deserved to
win. We just have to put it past us and get on the road and get a win
under our belt and start rolling again. They just beat us. Give them
credit.
Perez (4-0) outpitched Sonny Gray (3-1) in a heralded matchup
of emerging stars, allowing just three hits and two walks in his
rst start since throwing a three-hitter against the White Sox for
his rst career shutout.
I dont want to think
too much about my ERA
and the games that Ive
thrown before, Perez
said. Im going to focus
on my game today. We
had a great game.
Donnie Murphy home-
red and Michael Choice
scored one run and drove
in another for the
Rangers.
Perez, who also threw
eight scoreless innings
against Houston on April
13, is the rst Rangers
pitcher to have three
straight scoreless starts
since Kenny Rogers had
four straight over 30
innings in 2005. Perez
also joined Charlie
Hough in 1983 as the
only Texas pitchers to
have three straight starts
of at least eight scoreless
innings.
He knows how to
pitch, manager Ron
Washington said. He has
weapons and he can throw
them all for strikes and he
has poise. He does a great
job of staying with the
game plan and thats
something that hes
learned from last year,
how to study, how to go
out there and just execute
his pitches.

Rangers finish
off sweep of As
The Scots took the lead in the third, send-
ing 10 batters to the plate amid a defensive
collapse by Burlingame. The Panthers were
charged with two errors in the inning, but it
could have easily been four. The rally started
with one out when Carlmonts Julian Billot
lifted a pop-up behind second base, but a
communication breakdown allowed the ball
to fall for a single. After a single by Aaron
Albaum, Nick Thompson singled to right to
drive home Billot with the tying run. Then an
ineld groundball off the bat of Kyle Barret
turned into a disaster when the ball was boot-
ed, and then thrown away, allowing Albaum
to plate with the go-ahead run with two errors
being charged on the play. Joe Pratt followed
with a sacrice y to right to bring home
Thompson.Vinny Bologna followed with
the big hit, singling to drive in Thompson
and Barret. Seubert later cashed in with an
RBI single, giving Carlmont a 5-1 lead.
In the sixth, the Scots ashed some defense
when Billot in left eld ranged in to make a
nice diving play, robbing Nick Franco of a hit.
In the seventh, the Scots scored two insur-
ance runs with two on and two outs on yet
another Burlingame infield error which
allowed Thompson and Pratt to score, stak-
ing Carlmont to a 7-1 lead.
The insurance runs loomed large as
Burlingame rallied against the Carlmont
bullpen in its nal at-bat. After walks to
Mitchell Geiser and Nick Mauro set the table,
Grifn Intieri lined a one-out single to load
the bases. Kennedy then scorched a long liner
to right-center, but Thompson in center eld
ranged from the opposite gap to make an out-
standing diving catch. Kennedys y out went
for a sacrice y to score Gaiser. And after a
walk to Kammuller, Carlmont turned to Pratt
to close it out. Pratt surrendered an RBI ineld
single to Englemann before inducing a
grounder to Seubert at shortstop to end it. The
save was Pratts rst of the year. Burlingame
right-hander Kevin Maltz took his third con-
secutive loss to fall to 1-3 despite a 1.17 ERA.
Thats a big [win], Loucks said. This
one really picks us up, especially for the M-
Agame on Friday for rst place.
Loucks is iron man
Loucks has been an iron man behind the
plate for Carlmont all season long, starting
all but one non-conference game this year. In
his rst year of varsity ball, Loucks was
viewed as a platoon option during the fall,
but the sophomore with the 6-foot-1 varsity
frame soon won the job outright.
You could see Loucks, it clicked and he
just took it, Sargent said.
Alifelong catcher, Loucks said he donned
the tools of ignorance as a 10 year old and
has been in the squat ever since.
I used to be an inelder but I started get-
ting stone hands, Loucks said. So, I kind
of moved myself behind the dish.
Bring on M-A
Meanwhile, Seubert has been a tough-luck
pitcher this season. He earned the win
Wednesday with six innings of three-hit
baseball to improve his record to 2-3. But
considering some of the losses hes endured,
the senior right-handers record should prob-
ably be above the .500 mark. Case in point
March 21 in a 6-3 loss to Menlo-Atherton
when he took a 3-0 lead into the sixth inning
only to see the Scots implode with Seubert
getting tagged for four unearned runs.
Its baseball, Seubert said. Youre going
to lose some the hard way. Youre going to
win some the tough way. Weve got a little
bit of season left and weve got to nish
strong. The past is the past.
Carlmont left the critical loss to M-Abehind
by winning four of its last ve league games.
Coupled with Sacred Heart Preps 9-8 win over
Menlo Wednesday, the Scots (4-3 in league,
11-9-1 overall) nd themselves in a three-way
tie with SHP and Menlo for third place in the
Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division. They
currently trail second-place Half Moon Bay by
a half game and, more importantly, are one
game back of rst-place M-A.
The Scots and the Bears meet Friday in a
critical rematch at Carlmont. First pitch is
scheduled for 4 p.m.

What is
Wagyu Beef?
The characters in the name Wagyu literally
mean Japanese Beef.
Only four breeds qualify to be called Wagyu:
the Japanese Black, Japanese Brown, Japanese
Shorthorn and Japanese Polled breed.
There are about 500 wagyu brands in Japan
Satsuma, Miyazaki, Hida, Sendai, Omi, Matsuzaka,
to name a few.
Kobe Beef is just one of the branded wagyu names.
Thus, not all Wagyu beef is Kobe Beef.
Wagyu calves are weaned soon after birth and stay
at the cow-calf farm up to 7 to 10 months on a milk
replacer diet.
Calves are sold at auction and raised on farms
which will feed each animal with a special diet of
rice straw and wheat roughage, adding whole corn
as the energy source grain.
Animals are typically fed for 600 days on this special
diet, during which time abundant marbling develops
in the meat and produces the white fat coloring.
Tremendous care is placed on each animal as
the nished wagyu beef can command a price of
$10,000 - $12,000 each.
Myth: All farms feed their animals with beer,
brush their hair daily, or comfort them with
classical music in the background. It is really up
to each farmers style.
What makes Japanese wagyu special?
Its texture, avor and aroma. And most distinct is
its marbling. It is the marbling that produces the
sweet taste and melt-in-your-mouth experience.
In Japan, the ne marbling is described as
(shimofuri) or frost sprinkles. The art
of making this prized beef is often judged on how
evenly the marbling appears in the meat.
The characters
in the name Wagyu
literally mean

Everything is going well. Its nice to see
the club really develop over the last two
years. Ive been there about ve years,
Bandov said. [Juventus is] a good place. It
has a good community feel along with the
competitive aspirations were all trying to
achieve. Its a rare balance you dont neces-
sarily nd at every club.
Bandov must know
what hes doing as hes
had success at virtually
every stop in his coach-
ing career. Granted, every
good team has the talent
to be successful, but it
takes a good coach to get
the best out of his play-
ers. His Mountain View
team advanced to the CCS
Division I seminals in 2013 and was the
No. 1 seed this season although the
Spartans were upset in the second round by
Santa Teresa.
At Juventus, his under-17 team the
Avanza captured the State Cup last spring
and made the nals of the prestigious Surf
Cup last November. Over the next few
weeks, Avanza will be participating in the
CYSAState Cup as well as the Northern
California State Cup.
Despite his success, Bandov is not neces-
sarily looking for bigger and better things.
He enjoys where he is right now, helping
young players develop.
Right now, being the assistant director
and being able to coach is a perfect t. Still
being young, I love working with the kids
on a daily basis. My favorite part is seeing
the kids mature both on the eld and off the
eld. Im still young. Im still learning
every day, Bandov said. I feel at home with
the Juventus club. I plan to be here for a
while.

24.9-mile bike ride and 6.2-run in a time of

If youre going to photobomb Skyline hitting coach John Quintell,
its best to go with the rock-st. Matt Fosse not only punctuated his
Skyline career with a classic photobomb, the sophomore is closing his
season on quite a hot streak.
As a part-time catcher, the Burlingame alumnus went a season and a
half without a batting average. Since tabbing his rst collegiate hit
March 22 against Hartnell, Fosse is hitting .364 (8 for 22), including
a 2-for-2 showing in a 7-4 rematch win over Hartnell Tuesday in
Skylines final home game of the year. Platooning with fellow
Burlingame grad Keaton Eichman, the catching tandem represents two
of six Burlingame grads on the Skyline roster this season; along with
center elder Michael Franco, rst baseman Dean Aliamus, inelder
Phil Cauleld and pitcher Tommy Cauleld. Skyline pitching coach
Tony Brunicardi is also a Panthers alum.
The Coast Conference regular season concludes Thursday. The Trojans
enter into play 10-13 in Coast Pacic Conference play, 14-21 overall,
and have clinched fourth place in the Coast Pacic Conference.

As reject 10-year Coliseum lease offer
OAKLAND The Oakland Athletics say they are stop-
ping negotiations to extend their lease at the Coliseum.
As President Michael Crowley issued the statement
Wednesday after the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum
Authority said the team owes more than $5 million in back
rent.
Crowley says the team owes no money and says rent pay-
ments were deducted in the past for items allowed under the
terms of the lease.
The As current lease at the Coliseum expires after the
2015 season, and the team rejected a 10-year extension
offer on Tuesday, saying the deal did not address all of our
issues.
The As have been searching for a new home for years,
complaining that O.co Coliseum is dilapidated and not con-
ducive to baseball. The team would like to move to San Jose
but is blocked by Major League Baseball rules that dene
Santa Clara County as the exclusive territory of the San
Francisco Giants.
Sports brief
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MADRID Real Madrid hopes a narrow
home win put it in position to reach the
Champions League nal for the rst time
since 2002.
In a matchup of teams acclaimed to be the
best in Europe this season, Karim Benzema
scored in the 19th minute to give the Los
Blancos a 1-0 victory over defending cham-
pion Bayern Munich on Wednesday night in
the rst leg of their seminal.
We have a nice advantage and if we score,
we can complicate things for them, Madrid
star Cristiano Ronaldo said.
The second leg is Tuesday in Munich.
Chelsea hosts the other semifinal next
Wednesday following a 0-0 tie at Atletico
Madrid this week.
If you want to do damage, you have to go
for the victory because 1-0 is not deni-
tive, Madrid defender Sergio Ramos said.
But its a good result to take to Munich.
Madrid, which beat Bayer Leverkusen in
2002 for the last of its record nine European
titles, has been knocked out of the semi-
nals for three straight years. The hosts dom-
inated before a crowd of 79,283, outshoot-
ing Bayern 16-9 and maintaining 64 percent
possession.
They had chances to score more goals,
denitely, Bayern coach Pep Guardiola.
We probably should have created a few more
scoring chances. (But) they have a very
good defense.
Benzema scored on a counterattack when
Cristiano Ronaldo found Fabio Coentrao
speeding down a ank. Coentrao crossed for
Benzema, who tapped the ball past goal-
keeper Manuel Neuer from 4 yards.
Ronaldo returned from a left leg injury that
had sidelined him from April 2 and missed a
number of scoring opportunities. Ronaldo
was replaced in the 73rd by Gareth Bale.
Benzema gives Real Madrid 1-0 win over Bayern Munich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX Of course, the
NBAs most improved team would
have its most improved player.
Goran Dragic, whose breakout
season helped the Phoenix Suns
make a remarkable transformation,
was presented the most improved
award at a ceremony Wednesday at
US Airways Center.
The 6-foot-3 Slovenian, who
turns 28 in two weeks, ourished
under first-year coach Jeff
Hornaceks double-point guard
system, teaming with Eric Bledsoe
to form a dynamic backcourt.
Dragic averaged 20.5 points and
5.9 assists per game, shooting
50.5 percent from the eld, 40.8
percent on 3-pointers. He was the
only player in the NBA to shoot
better than 50 percent from the
eld and 40 percent from 3-point
range.
The main thing was my con-
dence this year, he said. I feel
that my teammates, they trust me.
The coaches trust me. I can play
my game, be condent, be tough
and then shoot the ball better.
Dragic recalled the doubters
when he came into the league.
I can remember one quote from a
newspaper, somebody said that
Im the worst player in the NBA
and my last name should not be
Dragic but tragic, he said. That
sticks in your head. It sticks in my
head. On the practice court, I
always have this in my mind.
Suns Dragic is
the NBAs Most
Improved Player

who is out indenitely with a fractured right
rib.
We realized that if we played our game and
do the things that we worked on wed be suc-
cessful, Grifn said. We play well when
were just playing free, so were just going to
try and achieve that.
Whether the Clippers can duplicate that per-
formance on the road is another matter.
For all the success Los Angeles has had in
recent seasons, the twice-reigning Pacic
Division champions have struggled at Oracle
Arena. The Clippers have lost 15 of their last
17 games in Oakland, including the last ve
meetings. And they have never played at
Golden State in the playoffs, when the crowd
often reaches even higher decibels.
Its going to be loud. Its going to be excit-
ing. I think every basketball player loves
playing in an environment like that, Grifn
said. Weve played in places that are pretty
loud before, especially in the playoffs. Ive
heard good things about the crowd and were
looking forward to it. Absolutely.
Of course, home court has not always been
an advantage for the Warriors this season.
The Warriors went 27-14 at home, including
2-0 against the Clippers, but they had several
head-scratching setbacks in Oakland. That
included home losses to lesser teams such as
Denver (twice), Cleveland, Minnesota, New
York, Washington and Charlotte.
Golden State has taken advantage of its
home court its last two trips to the playoffs.
The Warriors are a combined 6-0 at Oracle
Arena in the rst round in 2007 against Dallas
and last season against Denver.
Hearing the roar of the crowd making a big
play, it gets you hyped, it gets you feeling
good, Warriors shooting guard Klay
Thompson said. It denitely wont hurt
being home.
Game 4 and Game 6, if necessary, also will
be in Oakland where the Warriors promise
to make things tougher for the Clippers than
they ever did in Game 2.
Were not going to quit. Were not going to
just lie down and allow a team to do what they
want against us, Curry said. Were going to
be physical, come back and its about that
competitive re for Game 3 that were going
to need to get it done to protect our home
court.

WARRIORS
You cant give a team like the L.A. Kings
any life. Theyre going to come to play.
The Kings regrouped after two embarrass-
ments at the Shark Tank to open the series,
playing two solid periods to open Game 3
before surrendering 23 shots and a lead in
the third. Los Angeles also played well in
overtime, but lost on the Sharks rst shot
of extra time.
The Kings realize theyll need every bit of
their playoff experience to pull off an
unlikely comeback, but they didnt seem
discouraged after a meeting at their training
complex.
Were going to come out and throw
everything at them, Anze Kopitar said.
The Kings havent trailed 0-3 in a playoff
series since 2000, and only three teams in
NHL history have rallied from that decit to
win a series. Los Angeles forwards Mike
Richards and Jeff Carter were with the Flyers
in 2010 Carter was injured when
Philadelphia rallied from three games down
to beat Boston.
Three-oh is a big hole, but its been done
before, said Carter, who scored his rst
goal in his last six playoff games Tuesday.
You win one game and you start to get some
momentum going. We have to go into their
building and win two games. You have to
approach it as one game. You win that one
game, you put a little doubt in their mind
and they know that were coming.
The Sharks have exploited Quicks
aggressive, scrambling style in the rst
three games, making the Stanley Cup-win-
ning goalie look positively ordinary. San
Joses speed in the neutral zone has led to
numerous quality chances, and the Sharks
passing ability and puck pursuit have made
Quick pay for his gambles.
Quicks .852 save percentage is nearly the
worst in the NHL playoffs, a shocker for a
team with success built on defense. The
Kings top offensive players improved in
Game 3, with Carter and Marian Gaborik
getting their rst goals of the series, but
theyll likely have to do even more to earn
another trip to the Shark Tank this weekend.
You just cant look at the mountain and
expect to do it all at once, Richards said.
Its a process. Its a time to be excited
about the opportunity. Not many teams
have done this.

Mavs roll past Spurs
113-92, even series at 1-1
SAN ANTONIO Monta Ellis scored 21
points and the Dallas Mavericks rolled to a
113-92 victory over San Antonio on
Wednesday night, snapping a 10-game skid
against the Spurs and evening their rst-
round series at a game apiece.
Shawn Marion scored 20 points, Dirk
Nowitzki added 16, Devin Harris had 18 and
Jose Calderon 12 for Dallas, which never
trailed after the opening minutes of the sec-
ond quarter.
Manu Ginobili had 27 points, Tony
Parker added 12 and Tim Duncan 11 for the
Spurs.
Dallas didnt relent in Game 2 after blow-
ing a 10-point lead in the nal eight min-
utes of the series opener. San Antonios
ineptness had as much to do with tying the
series, however. The Spurs averaged 14.4
turnovers during the regular season, but had
15 with 3 minutes left in the rst half. They
nished with 22 turnovers, which resulted
in 33 points for the Mavericks.
Game 3 is scheduled for Saturday at 1:30
p.m. in Dallas.
Heat take 2-0 lead over
Bobcats with 101-97 win
MIAMI LeBron James drove to the rim
as time was winding down, got clobbered by
Josh McRoberts and sat on the hardwood
gathering himself for a few seconds after-
ward.
It was tting. Miami took Charlottes
best shot, and survived.
James scored 32 points and added eight
assists, Chris Bosh scored 20 points and
the Heat wasted two big leads before hang-
ing on to beat the Bobcats 101-97 on
Wednesday night to take a 2-0 lead in their
Eastern Conference rst-round series.
We can play better basketball, James
said. We havent played our best basket-
ball.
Dwyane Wade scored 15 points, and had a
steal in the nal seconds to seal the win for
Miami. He stripped the ball from Chris
Douglas-Roberts with the Heat protecting a
three-point lead with about 3 seconds left,
and the Bobcats never got another shot off.
Game 3 is Saturday in Charlotte. The Heat
were the NBAs only higher-seed to open the
playoffs with two home wins.

NEW YORK Every so often a revolu-
tion transforms something truly basic, ren-
dering the status quo somewhat, well, prim-
itive.
First came covered sewers, then indoor
plumbing and ush toilets. Now, one bath-
room at a time, another major shift in toilet
hygiene is quietly underway. Anew genera-
tion of toilets may one day make toilet
paper and the need to put ones hands
anywhere near the unspeakable seem like
chamber pots and outhouses: outdated and
somewhat messy throwbacks reserved for
camping trips.
Unlike traditional toilets, the high-tech
version washes from behind and if
desired in front with water. Better models
allow for temperature, direction and pres-
sure control, and have retractable spritzing
wands and automatic driers as well. The best
feature warm seats, automatic motion sen-
sors to raise the lid, buttons to raise the
seat, nightlights, self-cleaning mecha-
nisms, music to mask unpleasant sounds,
deodorizer spritzers and other conven-
iences.
Paper just distributes the problem, said
Lenora Campos, a spokeswoman for
Georgia-based Toto USA. Toto, the
Japanese company that pioneered the mod-
ern electronic toilet seat, has sold 34 mil-
lion of them globally. We wash most
things with water and wouldnt dream of
wiping a dish or anything else with a piece
of paper and calling it clean. So why should
personal hygiene be any different?
Toto began marketing the Washlet in
Japan in 1980. Now 74 percent of Japanese
households have toilets of the high-tech
persuasion, making them more common
there than home computers.
The concept of electronic toilets that
cleanse with water widely known as bidet
toilets or Washlets has spread interna-
tionally over time, and dozens of compa-
nies around the world, including Inax,
Brondell and Kohler, are producing them.
Although most popular in Asia, basic ver-
sions are becoming standard in much of the
Middle East and South America, where
cleansing with water has long been pre-
ferred to paper. They are nally becoming
more popular in Europe, where boudoir
paper was introduced in the 19th century,
and in equally paper-centric North America.
They have been a long time coming.
In the U.S., bidets were always seen as
European, and an oddity of the French,
said Rose George, author of The Big
Necessity: The Unmentionable World of
Human Waste and Why It Matters
(Metropolitan Books, 2008).
In addition to general squeamishness
about discussing the way we clean our-
selves, some in the U.S. worried about the
high-tech toilets requirement that a ground-
ed electrical outlet be nearby, or thought the
early control panels made the toilets look
clumsy.
That said, the predecessor to modern
high-tech toilets was actually invented in
the United States, by Arnold Cohen of
Brooklyn, who patented a pedal-operated
seat hed designed as a sort of sophisticated
sitz-bath to help his ailing father. He found-
ed the American Bidet Company in 1964,
marketing his product as an American way
to bidet and the rst wash and dry toilet.
But the subject was considered too vulgar
for ads.
I installed thousands of my seats all over
the suburbs of New York, and we had ofces
all across the country, said Cohen, whose
company still exists. But advertising was
a next-to-impossible challenge. Nobody
wants to hear about Tushy Washing 101.
The place where his invention really took
off was Japan. I licensed to the Toto com-
pany and sent container after container to
Japan, said Cohen, whose patent later
expired.
Toto came up with a more sophisticated
version and by 1980 had trademarked the
Washlet. Sleek, electronic and no longer
marketed as primarily a bidet, it became
available in the U.S. in 1989. But it took
another 20 years for mainstream American
vendors like Home Depot and Lowes to
embrace the technology and for prices to

Its convenient to pick up some laundry
detergent at the store, but its not difcult to
create your own.
Soap and water are a time-tested duo
against dirt and germs, and homemade
cleaners can carry away grime without added
chemicals or perfumes.
All it takes are a few, simple ingredients
to make laundry detergent liquid or pow-
der and fabric softener. Then cut down on
drying time and static cling by tumbling
wet clothes with homemade dryer balls.
Faith Goguen Rodgers switch to home-
made cleaners began a few years ago after
she used a commercial-brand cleaner on the
bathtub.
Id cleaned it, and then I really didnt
want to get in it. The bleach smell and feel
it didnt feel good, she says.
Then when I had kids, it didnt make
sense at all. It feels a lot safer knowing
whats in my cleaners.
Rodgers is an herbalist with three young
children who creates all the cleaners she
uses in her Lafayette, Colo., home even
the toothpaste. While the health piece is
really big for her, shes also motivated by
cost.
You save a ton of money making your
own, she says, especially if you buy ingre-
dients in bulk.
Homemade cleaners, particularly laundry
soap, lack much odor, but a pretty scent can
be added with essential oils. This lifts the
laundry-detergent-making project up a
notch adding some olfactory fun.
You and your family can get creative and
come up with your own signature laundry
scent, Rodgers writes on The Little Herbal
blog, where she posts her natural cleaning
recipes. Our laundry comes out clean and
smelling fresh.
Her favorite combinations of essential
oils for laundry detergent include lemon and
eucalyptus, orange and geranium, and
grapefruit and lavender.
Sherri Griffins foray into homemade
laundry soap began when she got a rash and
wanted something gentler than store-
bought laundry detergent. She started
researching alternatives, and recommends
checking out whats in commercially made
products on the Environmental Working
Groups website.
An Orlando, Fla., nurse, Grifn started a
blog, Overthrow Martha, to educate people
about natural cleaners. Besides sharing a
fabric softener recipe, she recommends sim-
ple-to-make dryer balls. Dryer balls
decrease drying time, eliminate static cling
and decrease wrinkles, she says. Essential
oils can be added to them every few loads to
softly scent clothes.
I often hear that people cant give up the
fresh smell they get from using dryer
sheets, but what people dont understand is
that smell comes from . chemicals, says
Grifn.
Karyn Siegel-Maier shares laundry and
other green cleaning formulas in The
Naturally Clean Home (Storey, 2008). The
publisher recently posted her recipes for
liquid and powder laundry detergent at its
blog, Inside Storey, to sanitize, soften and
scent clothes and linens naturally.
Some recipes from these experts:
RODGERS HOMEMADE
LAUNDRY DETERGENT (POWDER)
Supplies:
3 cups washing soda (similar to baking
soda; look for it near laundry products at the
supermarket)
3 cups borax
1 cup baking soda
1 bar of castile (olive oil-based) soap,
such as Dr. Bronners Pure Castile Soap
Pure, organic essential oils (optional)
Directions:
1. Grate the bar of soap into a small bowl
and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the
washing soda, borax and baking soda. Mix
well to get rid of clumps. Add the essential
oils, if desired. Mix them into the powder
well to avoid clumping.
3. Add the grated soap and mix ingredi-
ents together.
4. Store detergent in a half-gallon mason
jar or other well-sealed container. Use 2 to 4
heaping tablespoons per load of laundry.
BASIC LAUNDRY LIQUID

About this time of year, Lee Neiman
walks outside to his backyard every morn-
ing and impatiently counts the days.
Its not until late March or early April that
the backyard paradise at his Pittsburgh
home usually returns to life. The cascading
waterfall starts running again and the pond
catching it thaws. The sh that went dor-
mant below a sheet of ice during the winter
swim back into view.
Im looking forward to that rst cup of
coffee by the pond, said Neiman, a doctor
practicing internal medicine. What I really
like is at night when I can open the win-
dows and hear the waterfall.
Backyard ponds, which range from the
simple to the elaborate, can become a pas-
sion for many gardeners. And technological
improvements over the past 15 years have
made it easier and more economical than
ever to build one.
The pumps today are much more energy-
efcient and last a lot longer, said Randy
Stewart, division manager for
Pondliner.com, a Shawnee, Okla.- based
company that has been selling such sup-
plies since 1998. As for the ltration sys-
tems, some can clean with minimal mainte-
nance. You can now maintain your pond
wearing dress clothes instead of standing in
the pond, pulling out the system and get-
ting dirty.
Neiman was introduced to backyard ponds
about 15 years ago when several of his
friends had them.
I was envious of what I saw and decided
to proceed and do it myself with the help of
my son, Neiman said.
Three years ago, he hired someone to
expand the original pond. It now stands 6
feet wide and 12 feet long, and has 16 sh
koi, goldsh and one catsh. The larger
pond is more practical and benecial for sh
and plants, Neiman said. Plus, it looks
nicer.
Many people who build backyard ponds
end up expanding them, said Bob Dorrance,
founder and operator of www.backyard-
pond-guide.com , a website devoted to ama-
teur pond enthusiasts.
The rst one never seems big enough,
Dorrance said. Youre always adding some-
thing little to it lights, owers, bushes,
whatever your taste is. You can probably
look at 100 ponds and they are all different.
You can make it your own according to
whatever you like.
Getting started, he said, is the most daunt-
ing step.
The hardest part is digging the hole, he
said. If you get a couple strong people to
get out there and build the hole, youre in
good shape.
Before you dig, design the pond, taking
into consideration the surrounding trees and
vegetation, he said. Be sure to follow any
homeowners association or other regula-
tions for the property.
Once the hole is dug, Dorrance said, line
it with a quality, thick liner. Investing a lit-
tle more will be worth it to avoid holes or
tears.
Its a myth that backyard ponds do best in
warm climates, he said. They can thrive
pretty much anywhere.
Northern ponds just need a little extra
preparation for winter.
All you have to do is get a lightweight
net and put it over the top of the pond to
keep leaves and debris out of it, Dorrance
said. Also, make sure you pull any acces-
sories out of the water, like lters or UV
lights, so they dont freeze.
Those who live in colder climates may
lose some vegetation each winter, but if you
plan you can minimize the loss.
And winter should not hurt the sh that
call your backyard pond home.
All the sh will go to the very bottom of
the pond and go dormant for the winter,
Dorrance said. You do need to have a small
hole to allow any gases to escape.
Algae buildup is usually the biggest prob-
lem pond owners face wherever they live, he
said. The solution is a water pump and an
ultraviolet clarifier, a small device that
exposes algae to UVlight and kills it. They
can run anywhere from $100 to nearly
$2,000.
Living in warm, central Florida, Sonny
Alansky gets to enjoy his pond year-round.
Just off his backyard porch, the pond meas-
ures 37 feet in diameter, and includes three
waterfalls, 14 koi, and a plethora of tropical
vegetation such as palm trees, hibiscus and
birds of paradise.
Alansky, a retired electrician, designed
the pond about three years ago when he
moved into his Rockledge, Fla. home.
Im out here every day enjoying it,
Alansky said. I love coming out and feed-
ing the sh. They see me coming and they
swim right up to me.
Hes always adding something new,
whether its more decorative stones or more
devices to deter predators; hes already lost
one sh to a heron. Fake alligators and owls
and even a motion-detector sprinkler help
protect the sh.

come down enough for average consumers.
We bugged Home Depot and other stores
for seven or eight years before they nally
agreed to carry bidet toilets, said Steve
Scheer, president of Brondell, a San
Francisco-based company that has been
making high-tech models like the Swash
toilet seat since 2003.
Totos top-of-the-line Neorest toilet, a
tankless wonder with all the gizmos, comes
out this fall priced at around $10,000. Most
high-tech seats with important features such
as a retractable wand and a drier cost between
$450 and $1,800, and some basic water-
cleansing models made by lesser-known
companies now sell for under $40.
Its a very experience-driven product, and
is hard to explain to someone whos never
tried a high-tech toilet. But the taboo is def-
initely beginning to lift, Scheer said.
People used to giggle and make jokes when
I explained our products. Now a lot of people
have heard about them or tried them and are
more interested.
There are roughly 1.5 million high-tech
seats in use in the United States, and mil-
lions more featuring more basic, non-elec-
tric, water-cleansing methods such as attach-
ments and sprayers. Although high-tech toi-
lets still account for a scant 1 percent of toi-
lets in the U.S., Brondell and Toto both esti-
mate growth in the high-tech segment at
around 15 percent or more per year, and sig-
nicantly higher than that in the last two
years. And this despite minimal advertising.
Toilets at Googles California campus
have been equipped with high-tech Tot o
seats, according to the company. And
Brondells Swash 1000 will be a standard
option on Gulfstreams new G650 jets,
Scheer said.
A lot of times it starts when somebody
buys one and then has some friends over for
a dinner party. Their guests give it a try and
then ask, Where in the world did you get
that? said David Krakoff, head of sales for
America of Toto USA.
So far, the seats seem most popular in larg-
er cities on the East and West coasts, and in
areas with large Hispanic populations. They
seem to be gaining ground quickly among
baby boomers and those who care for the eld-
erly, as well as those interested in high-tech
and environmentally friendly products.
Scheer said the new type of toilet uses
much less water and electricity than is
required to produce toilet paper. Because the
water stream is small and aerated, each use
of a high-tech seat requires under one- to
two-tenths of a gallon of water, he said.

Childrens art absolutely has a place in home decor and can
add a welcome personal touch.
By Melissa Kossler Dutton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Its a conundrum many parents face:
what to do with the steady ow of draw-
ings, paintings, collages and more that
children bring home from school and
camp? Which are the keepers and
besides sticking them up on the refrig-
erator with magnets how can you dis-
play them creatively?
They caught me throwing some
away, and they were not happy about
it, Mandy Rose of Carterville, Ill.,
said of her three children.
Rose, who loves to decorate her
house and writes about it at house-
ofroseblog.com, decided to combine
some of her kids work with profession-
al pieces and family photos in a mon-
tage on her dining room wall. She even
commissioned one of the kids to create
a nger painting for an eye-catching
frame she had bought.
People always ask, Did your kids
make that? she said. Its a real con-
versation starter.
Childrens art absolutely has a place
in home decor and can add a welcome
personal touch, said Esther Sadowsky,
owner of Charm & Whimsy, an interior
design rm in Jersey City, N.J.
Sometimes my jaw drops when I see
the work of my customers children,
she said. Childrens art displayed in a
house its a home then.
Like Rose, she suggests displaying
kids works in art groupings. She often
lays out the pieces on the oor so she
and her client can visualize how they t
together. You can make a beautiful
arrangement, said Sadowsky, who has
a painting she made as a 12-year-old
hanging in her own living room.
Rose laid out the items for her
gallery wall on the oor as well. She
snapped photos of various arrange-
ments so she could compare them, and
went through her house to nd frames in
the same color palette to create cohe-
sion in the grouping.
Sadowsky has sent parents to big box
stores or craft stores to buy inexpen-
sive frames. Its possible to nd frames
with precut mats for a more profession-
al look. Do-it-yourselfers also can use
construction paper or foam core to cre-
ate mats for artwork, she said.
In her childrens playroom, Rose
strung wire between two hooks and
allows the kids to pick and choose what
they want to hang up. The setup allows
them to highlight favorite paintings
and projects until they make something
they like better.
Finding a temporary place like that to
display work makes sense, agreed Jeffry
Cudlin, a professor of curatorial studies
and practice at Maryland Institute
College of Art in Baltimore. He routine-
ly highlights the work of his 4-year-old
son, Miles, at home to show him that
the family values handmade art.
Cudlin uses binder clips to hang
Miles art in an ornate frame that usual-
ly hangs in his dining room; the clips
mean he can rotate different pieces
through the frame for an ever-changing
display.
Deciding which pieces to keep long-
term can be a challenge, Cudlin said. He
looks for work that includes loved ones
or commemorates a special event. He
routinely frames Miles work and gives
it to family members who are represent-
ed in the drawing.
He also finds that he appreciates
many of his sons drawings more after
he asks questions about them. The art
provides insights into how the pre-
schooler views the world, and helps
preserve his thoughts, Cudlin said.
His way of thinking about things
the way he experiences the world
youre not going to get that back, he
said.
Cali Sanker, education coordinator of
the Ohio State University Urban Arts
Space in Columbus, recommends sav-
ing a childs pieces from various ages to
create an artistic record of his or her
growth.
It is not only a special way to remi-
nisce about your childs younger years,
but a special way of embracing how
much they have grown, she said.

case, he noted.
I thought when I accepted the call, I
ought to treat people like I was going
to live with them for 20 years, he
said. Any changes that happened hap-
pened slowly and by consensus.
People have treated me very nicely.
Garrison, originally from Long
Beach, Calif., didnt actually grow up
Lutheran. He was introduced to the reli-
gion by a friend who brought him to
vacation bible school as a teen. His
father grew up Mormon and his mother
grew up Presbyterian, but didnt enjoy
those religions themselves.
They couldnt believe Id go to sem-
inary, said Garrison, who decided to
attend during a recession after moving
to Oakland to fly Cessna aircrafts.
They were afraid Id lose my sense of
humor.
When he took the pastors job 28
years ago, he came to Burlingame with
his wife Joanne Garrison, who now
works for the Burlingame Historical
Society and wrote Burlingame:
Centennial 1908-2008 on
Burlingames history. They had one
son who is now 23. Garrison said hell
miss having a ock to watch over and
listen to, especially during the time of
service when attendees offer each other
signs of peace.
I like to listen to the people talk,
he said. When I was child, I would lis-
ten to my parents parties. I loved that
sound. Ill pick out different voices
and pray for them.
He also likes what he calls the
three-minute miracle margin. For
example, during a ve-minute break
between services, a mother asked the
pastor to talk to her son with a learn-
ing disability who was afraid God was
a ghost.
I told him, Jesus was a boy just
like you, he said. I gave him a stat-
ue of Jesus and said, you can touch
this statue. Remember, God loves
you. Thats the stuff I really like.
Those little moments.
Garrison will also miss having such
a versatile job.
Its the last great practitioner in
America, he said. I get to do every-
thing. You get to go to weddings,
funerals, hear confessions and forgive
people. Its a fascinating job. Then,
when theres nothing happening you
pray and arent [spending your time]
counterfeiting dollar bills.
The pastor will come back in social
settings, but he and his family will
shop for a new church since its the
Lutheran tradition to leave the church
youre retiring from for another to
honor the new pastor. The church is
about a year out from getting a replace-
ment for Garrison, as an interim usual-
ly comes in for a while before a deci-
sion is made.
Theyre (the church members)
afraid, he said. Its like a death in the
family.
In retirement, Garrison will paint
portraits, work hes already had expe-
rience doing for the church. He current-
ly has commissions to do childrens
portraits and will be spending time in
his garage on them. His rst trip in
retirement will be to the Yosemite
National Park with his dog Potter and
wife. Hell then head to Portland, Ore.,
to deliver the portraits.
Garrison is also a former police
chaplain with the Burlingame Police
Department and currently is chaplain
of the Burlingame Lions Club. He
headed the Clergy Emergency
Response Team at San Francisco
International Airport for nearly 10
years and was on-hand for the response
to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11,
2001, and the crash of the MD-80 off
the California coast. He helped protect
President George W. Bush when he was
at an event in the area. He stood
between protesters and attendees of the
event, members of his church were on
both sides.
Its a good place for a pastor to be,
he said. Right in the middle. It takes
guts and I like that.

GARRISON
from the time Pedro learned of the dis-
tricts alleged lack of action which
wasnt until May 2013 after former
janitor Andre Edwards was convicted of
molesting her and groping another
student in 2010.
The district either misunderstands
the complaint or is trying to shoehorn
it with a legal technicality, said
Pedros attorney Ryan Erickson.
The lawsuit names several current
and former employees including
County Superintendent Anne
Campbell, the former Belmont-
Redwood Shores superintendent.
Ahearing on the districts dismissal
request known as a demurrer is sched-
uled for May 6.
The district contends that Pedro
waited so long after her molestation to
le a July 2013 claim and then a law-
suit that key witnesses have either
died, moved to parts unknown or left
its employment. Pedro, now an adult,
knew from the time of the act that she
had been wronged even if Edwards was
not prosecuted but failed to act, accord-
ing to the district.
The district, however, contends
Pedro did not le a claim within six
months of the 2001 molestation,
within six months of Edwards March
2011 arrest or within six months of
her 2011 interview by Belmont police
detectives in connection to his crimi-
nal case.
We dont dispute that at the times
Mr. Edwards abused her she knew it was
wrong and she commendably told a
trusted adult. What she didnt know is
the number of repeat incidents and that
others had been abused, Erickson
said. In a way, the district is kind of
trying to benet from their own cover-
up.
The suit claims the district knew that
Edwards committed at least eight sepa-
rate incidents of sexual misconduct
involving at least six students while
employed but took afrmative steps
to hide his history such as sealing a
1996 investigation and not contacting
police.
When Pedro was 12, in May 2001,
Edwards reportedly touched her inap-
propriately while she worked on a
book report in his ofce. She told
school authorities and police were
alerted but charges were never led
because of questions over credibility.
In 2010, he groped a students breast
and buttocks, leading to his arrest and
a revisit of Pedros allegations. He
pleaded no contest to two counts of
felony false imprisonment and one
count of misdemeanor child annoyance
in return for nine months jail and sex
offender treatment to settle both cases.
In May 2013, Pedro learned from his
probation report in the newest case
about his alleged conduct prior to her
incident and that the district failed to
take action, according to the suit.
Tom DeLapp, the districts
spokesman on this issue, said it has
yet to see the response but stands by
its earlier comment. DeLapp previous-
ly told the Daily Journal the statute of
limitations is meant to protect
against overly stale claims like this
one.
DeLapp also said the district took
reasonable steps to keep Edwards
from being alone with students after
the 1996 complaint but was legally
barred from more serious action based
on rumors or innuendo.

director of Peninsula Volunteers, to be its
new CEO starting June 1.
Its been a year since Kitty Lopez vacated
the executive director position after 13
years and went to work as the executive
director of First 5 of San Mateo County.
It was Charlows 39 years of executive
experience in the Bay Area that convinced
the Board of Directors to hire him after
interviewing candidates from across the
country.
After a national search of formidable
candidates, Bart emerged as our next leader
because of his extensive experience and his
work in various nonprot roles in our com-
munity over the last 30 years, Samaritan
House Board Chair Patty Hsiu said in a press
release. He is an established local leader,
an effective organizational builder and a
strategic and innovative thinker.
Charlow will step in just as the organiza-
tion celebrates its 40-year anniversary and
will meet with supporters and guests at
Samaritan Houses annual fundraiser dinner
Saturday, May 3.
I am extremely excited to be here. Ive
known about Samaritan House for many
years being a resident here for many years
and this is a fabulous organization and I
cant think of any agency thats done more
for 40 years for those that are struggling
and this agency, Samaritan House, is doing
it really well, Charlow said. For me, its a
great heart in a great community and Im
just humbled to be chosen.
For an organization that serves 145,000
meals each year, runs the 90-bed Safe
Harbor shelter, attracts 2,000 annual volun-
teers and meets the daily basic needs of
more than 12,000 individuals in San Mateo
County, Samaritan House spokeswoman
Marcy Spiker said Charlow is a welcomed
leader.
Its a very exciting announcement and
transition for us. I think its especially
important during our anniversary as were
looking at strategies for the future, Spiker
said.
Charlow said he too looks forward to
assisting the organization in its outreach
efforts.
Samaritan House does so much. For me,
the key will be integrating it all into a sys-
tem so we can reach people with what they
need, when they need it and get them
back on their feet, Charlow said.
Charlow has spent much of his career vol-
unteering or working in executive roles at
nonprots such as Easter Seals Bay Area,
Silicon Valley FACES, Adult and Child
Guidance Center as well as interim executive
director for Big Brother/Big Sisters,
Coastside Childrens Programs and Loaves
and Fishes of Contra Costa.
How much more rewarding can it get to
help people through their lives? This for me
is the way I like to spend my days and given
any opportunity to do so, its mostly what I
do, Charlow said. I started as a volunteer
and I have the greatest respect for volun-
teers and people who giveth themselves and
the staff who run the agencies. So for me,
its just joyous.
Samaritan Houses annual fundraiser
begins 6 p.m. Saturday, May 3 at the San
Francisco Airport Marriott Waterfront in
Burlingame. For more information about

efforts during the past couple of months. I
also give my heartfelt gratitude to our
property owners for the renewed trust they
have shown in the leadership of the com-
munity. I also know that this afternoon our
focus needs to turn to the additional impor-
tant work before us like focusing on our
city budget and boosting economic devel-
opment, Colapietro said Wednesday after
the votes were counted.
Councilwoman Anne Oliva called the
passage business as usual.
It means stability, she said. We can
move on.
Mail-in ballots were sent out on March 8
and property owners were given 45 days to
turn in ballots. Ballots were due Tuesday
night.
Millbrae voters originally passed the
$144 annual fee for fire services on single-
family homes as one solution to address
the citys budget crisis, which began in
2001, according to a staff report.
Resources have been dwindling, City
Manager Marcia Raines previously said.
She said that the city still needs to pay for
employee benefits and that the citys
streets are at the bottom of state and coun-
tywide levels of sustainability.
The city has implemented more efficien-
cies, such as adopting shared services with
nearby fire agencies. Still, these wont be
enough to sustain the city financially, she
noted. A handful of Millbrae residents
spoke out at a Tuesday night council meet-
ing about the measure. Brian Martin com-
plained that too much money is being
spent on firefighters salaries and pen-
sions.
The new assessment is slated to go into
effect in June.

DONETSK, Ukraine Russias for-
eign minister warned Wednesday that
attacks on Russian citizens or interests
in Ukraine would bring a rm response
and drew a comparison to the circum-
stances that opened the war with
Georgia in 2008.
Russian citizens being attacked is an
attack against the Russian Federation,
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said, a
day after Ukraine announced it was re-
launching a campaign against pro-
Kremlin insurgents occupying govern-
ment facilities in the mostly Russian-
speaking east.
If we were attacked we could certainly
respond, Lavrov said, speaking on the
Kremlin-funded satellite TVchannel RT.
Lavrovs warning came as the Russian
Foreign Ministry issued a separate
statement demanding that Ukraine pull
its armed forces out of the crisis-ridden
region.
If our interests, our legitimate inter-
ests, the interests of Russians have been
attacked directly, like they were in
South Ossetia, I do not see any other
way but to respond in full accordance
with international law, Lavrov said,
referring to the 2008 war that led to the
breaking away of the Georgian republic
of South Ossetia.
In that conict, Russia launched an
invasion of Georgia after it unleashed an
artillery attack on the capital of the sep-
aratist region, where Russian peace-
keeping forces were stationed.
However, unlike the conict with
Georgia, Russia has denied having
troops or agents in eastern Ukraine.
The Russian warnings came as an
accord reached last week in Geneva to
defuse the Ukraine crisis continued to
crumble, with pro-Russian insurgents in
the east defying calls for all sides to dis-
arm and to vacate the buildings they are
occupying.
On Tuesday, Ukraines acting presi-
dent, Oleksandr Turchynov, ordered
resumption of an anti-terrorist opera-
tion against the pro-Russia forces.
However, the highly publicized move
produced little action on the ground
Wednesday.
Aprevious campaign to reclaim seized
buildings showed few results before it
was suspended last week. Ukrainian
forces claimed to have regained control
of one small airport, but insurgents also
seized armored vehicles and reports said
some Ukrainian soldiers had switched
sides.
Amid Russia attack warning,
Ukraine is in a security bind
Russian social media CEO
quits and flees country
By Laura Mills

MOSCOW The founder of Russias leading social media
network a wunderkind often described as Russias Mark
Zuckerberg has left his post as CEO
and fled the country as cronies of
President Vladimir Putin have made
steady inroads into the companys own-
ership.
The slow-motion ouster of Pavel Durov
from the network known as VKontakte,
or In Contact, is the latest sign that
independent media outlets in Russia have
become increasingly imperiled.
Although months in the making, the
loss of Durovs leadership in VKontakte means that the
space for free speech on the Russian web could shrink even
further.
Users on VKontakte were even spreading jokes this week
that the new nickname for the In Contact website should
be In Censorship.
As one of his nal acts of deance, Durov posted online
last week what he said were documents from the security
services, demanding personal details from 39 Ukraine-
linked groups on VKontakte, also known as VK.
Kremlin pressure on VK has been accompanied by
increasing enforcement of Russias law against extremism,
which took some prominent opposition and pro-Ukraine
sites off the web in March.
