Report: Cal
Fire serves
coast well
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Coastside Fire Protection Districts effort to reestablish
a stand-alone re department on the coast is misguided since
the state agency Cal Fire is providing excellent service at a
lower cost than if provided independently, according to a San
Mateo County Civil grand jury report released yesterday.
The report indicates the re protection district should give
up plans to reestablish a stand-alone department, fully support
Cal Fire and extend its contract with the state agency for anoth-
er three years.
But Gary Riddell, who sits on the coastside re board and is
a retired Half Moon Bay reghter, told the Daily Journal yes-

Eleven-year-old Sara Aguirre began to
cry at the podium Wednesday night as
she talked about the possibility of her
school, El Crystal, being closed.
She was one of more than 30 young-
sters from second grade to middle
school who stood before a packed San
Bruno Park Elementary School District
Board of Trustees meeting. That was
just a drop in the bucket in terms of
speakers at the meeting to discuss the
possible closure of two district schools
El Crystal and Crestmoor.
Aguirre called on the board to have a
heart and keep the schools open. She got
her wish.
The board voted 4-1, with Trustee
Kevin Martinez dissenting, to reject the
proposal to close two schools. Martinez
couldnt support the vote, he said, since
it did not address the problem. Just after,
a unanimous vote was taken to create a
committee to nd budget solutions in
hopes of avoiding a future school clo-
sure conversation.
Trustee Jennifer Blanco said the
evening solidified what she already
knew, San Bruno is a family.
Blanco said families come together in
times of crisis and called for it to contin-
ue. She suggested forming a Save Our
Schools committee so the community
could come together to nd solutions. A
number of parents spoke after the
boards vote supporting her idea, offer-
ing to help and encouraging people to
become active quickly.
The community was vocal against
school closure.

As things often start, Simon
Danczaks issue with his home began
small with a hole.
Richard Danczak, Simons son,
explained his 91-year-old old father
cant get around as well but has always

Bears interrupt weather
report at television station
SCRANTON, Pa. A mama bear
and three of her cubs were caught on
camera at a northeastern Pennsylvania
television station seconds before a live
weather report was about to begin.
It happened during the 11 p.m. news-
cast Monday at WNEP-TV in
Scranton. The station has a landscaped
outdoor area it calls the backyard
with trees and a water fountain for its
weather segments.
Meteorologist Kurt Aaron said he
heard something behind him and when
he turned around, a black bear was 10
feet away. He said he ran inside and did
his report from indoors while a camera
continued to show the bear family
exploring.
Frozen cows in cabin spur
warnings at hot springs
ASPEN, Colo. Federal forest offi-
cials want visitors of a Colorado hot
springs to be very careful about whats
lurking inside a remote cabin nearby:
Frozen cows.
Rangers believe the cows wandered
into the cabin near the popular
Conundrum Hot Springs during a
snowstorm but couldnt find their way
out. Air Force Academy cadets found
their frozen carcasses while snowshoe-
ing in late March.
U.S. Forest Service spokesman Bill
Kight said Tuesday that water samples
have been taken to determine if the hot
springs was contaminated by the dead
animals.
Rangers want the carcasses gone
before they thaw. Removal options
include explosives or burning down the
cabin.
In the meantime, officials have post-
ed warning signs about the cows
around the hot springs near Aspen in
the Colorado Rocky Mountains.
Dairy cow slips out
for McDonalds takeout
BRUSH, Colo. What did the dairy
cow order when she got to the drive-
thru window at McDonalds? Nothing
she just wanted a little attention.
Thats what Sandy Winn says was
the reason her cow, Darcy, wandered
from her pen Friday and ended up at
takeout window of the fast-food restau-
rant a half-mile away in Brush, Colo.
Winn tells KUSA-TV that Darcy is a
good cow until shes bored and then
she goes looking for attention.
Winn says she didnt know Darcy
had escaped her pen until police called
asking if the family owned a dairy cow.
She says they told her it was up at
McDonalds, so she fetched the cow
and took her home.
Brush police clerk Vivian Llewellyn
joked Tuesday that Darcy didnt get
her burger.
Fireball remnants
likely in California
RENO, Nev. Tiny meteorites
found in the Sierra foothills of northern
California were part of a giant fireball
that exploded over the weekend with
about one-third the explosive force of
the atomic bomb dropped on
Hiroshima in World War II, scientists
said Wednesday.
The rocks each weighed about 10
grams, or the weight of two nickels,
said John T. Wasson, a longtime pro-
fessor and expert in meteorites at
UCLAs Institute of Geophysics and
Planetary Physics.
Experts say the flaming meteor, dat-
ing to the early formation of the solar
system 4 to 5 billion years ago, was
probably about the size of a minivan
when it entered the Earths atmosphere
with a loud boom early Sunday. It was
seen from Sacramento, Calif., to Las
Vegas and parts of northern Nevada.
An event of that size might happen
once a year around the world, said Don
Yeomans of NASAs Near-Earth
Object Program Office at the Jet
Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena,
Calif. But most of them occur over the
ocean or an uninhabited area, he said.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The Los Altos woman accused of Tasing
and stabbing her estranged husband at their
Redwood City construction rm ofce last fall
while wearing bubble wrap to protect herself
will stand trial for premeditated attempted
murder.
Laura Jean Wenke, 51, has already pleaded
not guilty to that charge and felony assault.
However, after a preliminary hearing yester-
day a judge found sufcient evidence to hold
her to answer on all counts.
During the hearing, Wenkes husband testi-
ed and an ofcer shared the to do list dis-
covered in her purse, said District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe.
Wenke and her husband
are in the midst of a
divorce and have a young
child. Wenke stood to gain
a $2 million life insurance
payout if her husband died
and was very jealous of his
new girlfriend, according
to prosecutors.
On Sept. 15, Wenke
allegedly arrived at the family business,
Wenke Construction, on Laurel Street and
parked a truck in front of the ofce windows
to block the view of passersby. Inside, prose-
cutors say she asked her husband to look up
something in his computer and, as he worked,
she stunned and then stabbed him with a fold-
ing knife several times in the neck and torso.
After her arrest, police reported she was
wearing a mechanics jumpsuit and under-
neath the clothing her torso was swaddled in
bubble wrap, apparently as protection against
being hit herself.
Wenkes husband was hospitalized with
injuries to his lung, neck and chest but later
released.
Wenke remains in custody without bail and
faces seven years to life in prison if convicted
because of the premeditation allegation
She returns to court May 10 to enter a
Superior Court plea and set a trial date.

A 26-year-old Mustang owner advertising
his vehicle for sale was kidnapped by a teen
who pulled a fake gun after the test drive,
bound him with handcuffs and a pillow case in
the back seat and drove around demanding the
pink slip, according to prosecutors.
Jeremy Jenkins, 19, responded to the
Craigslist ad on Monday, April 23 and met the
owner at the Daly City BART station. Jenkins
allegedly put a gym bag in the car prior to the
test drive and afterwards pulled a replica
handgun and ordered the man to handcuff
himself. Jenkins pulled a pillow case over the
mans head and placed him in the back seat,
demanding the pink slip, said District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
When the man said the pink slip was at
home, Jenkins allegedly drove around for 20
minutes before pulling into a garage and hav-
ing the man call his mother. The woman, sens-
ing something was amiss when asked to bring
the pink slip to the BART station, called 911.
While BART police met with the mother, the
victim again called and the ofcer was able to
discern what was happening, Wagstaffe said.
The police waited at the BART parking lot
and when Jenkins arrived detained him at gun-
point. Jenkins told the ofcer he made a stu-
pid mistake, Wagstaffe said.
Jenkins pleaded not guilty yesterday to car-
jacking, robbery and kidnapping during a car-
jacking. The kidnapping charge alone carries
a life sentence.
He was denied bail and remains in custody.
He returns to court May 7 for a preliminary
hearing.
Ship owner sues
pharmacists in S.F. Bay crash
The owners and operators of a container
ship that slammed into the San Francisco-
Oakland Bay Bridge in 2007 and spilled thou-
sands of gallons of oil into San Francisco Bay
have sued the Northern California pharmacists
they claim negligently dispensed prescription
drugs to the pilot of the Cosco Busan.
The ships owner, Regal Stone Ltd., and
operator Fleet Management Ltd. Alleged in
court papers led in San Francisco Superior
Court Friday that the pills recklessly pro-
vided by pharmacists at a Longs drug store in
Petaluma had so clouded pilot John Cotas
judgment and dulled his reexes that they led
to the crash. The container ship spilled more
than 50,000 gallons of oil into the bay after it
collided with a bridge tower. The fuel traveled
to beaches north and south of San Francisco,
and biologists have blamed the spill for the
deaths of more than 2,400 birds.
Michael DeAngelis, a spokesman for Rhode
Island-based CVS Caremark, which owns
Longs, said Wednesday that the company
thinks Longs has no liability in the accident
and plans to ght the lawsuit.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The Peninsula Humane Societys new
wildlife center got its rst residents over the
weekend when 10 ducklings and 10 goslings
separated from their mothers were rescued in
separate incidents and brought to the facility
for care.
The animals are being housing in special
accommodations at the new Center for
Compassion in Burlingame and could be
released in ve to eight weeks.
The approximately week-old Mallard duck-
lings fell in a storm drain near the Bank of
America on El Camino Real in San Mateo.
The mother duck, who had been staying in the
area, left during the successful rescue effort.
The ofcer stayed with the ducklings for more
than an hour waiting for her return but she
didnt. The animals were brought to the center
and immediately incubated.
The approximately two-week old Canada
Geese goslings were separated from their
mother in San Francisco near Baker Beach
after a dog began harassing them. A citizen
brought them to San Francisco Animal Care
& Control which transferred them to
PHS/SPCA.
Center visitors will not be able to see the
orphans as they are housed in a non-public
rehabilitation area but glimpses are available
of other PHS work. The Center for
Compassion is expected to house up to 200
local wild animals in need of care at peak
times, spring through late summer.

Vobla fish recalled
for botulism risk
LOS ANGELES A Los Angeles
seafood company is voluntarily recalling its
smoked and dry vobla fish because it may
be contaminated with a bacteria that can
cause botulism.
LA Star Seafood Co. Inc. said in a release
Wednesday that it is recalling 20-pound
bulk boxes of the salt-cured fish that is pop-
ular in many Russian households and beer
restaurants.
The boxes are not vacuum-packed, have
no lot numbers and no expiration dates.
The company says the fish were improp-
erly eviscerated, leaving them vulnerable to
the botulism bacteria.
Customers who purchased the fish
between Feb. 28 and April 23 are urged to
destroy or return the products.
The products were distributed and sold in
Utah, Oregon, Colorado and California.
Botulism poisoning is potentially life
threatening and can cause blurred vision
and respiratory paralysis.

Two arrested for burglary, vehicle tampering
Due to a recent rash of vehicle-related thefts in San Mateo,
police were out and about Tuesday night on an auto-burglary
abatement patrol and immediately responded and saturated the
3600 block of Colegrove Avenue when an observant resident
noticed two men acting suspiciously in the area.
The men appeared to be trying door handles on vehicles in the
carport area of an apartment building, according to San Mateo
police. Responding ofcers were also able to observe the sus-
pects conducting the same activity. The suspects were quickly
contacted and arrested for burglary and vehicle tampering due to
their activity in the apartment complex carport, according to
police.
Arrested were Isacc Mullan, a 37-year-old transient, and
Marcus Strickland, an 18-year-old transient. Both were booked
into San Mateo County jail.
Alleged fake S.F. doctor facing more charges
A man accused of performing plastic surgery and sexually
assaulting a woman while posing as a doctors assistant in San
Francisco is facing additional charges.
Two more women have come forward against 49-year-old
Carlos Guzmangarza, bringing his total number of accusers to
nine. Prosecutors say Guzmangarza raped and performed oral
copulation on one of the new victims while she was sedated. The
other woman claims he injured her while performing invasive
medical procedures in 2009.
Local briefs
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The reportedly intoxicated driver who
collided into a disabled vehicle in
Millbrae last fall, killing a 19-year-old
college student and injuring himself and
several passengers, pleaded not guilty
yesterday to charges of gross vehicular
manslaughter and drunk driving.
Dennis Dallas Leffew Jr., 43, waived
his right to a speedy trial and returns to
court May 3 to set a preliminary hearing
date.
Leffew surrendered on an arrest war-
rant late last month in the November
2011 death of Andrel Norcel Gaines.
Prosecutors took several months to
make a charging decision in the case
which is complicated by the fact the
vehicle carrying
Gaines and several
others was in an
accident just prior to
Leffews car striking
it just after 1 a.m.
Nov. 6. Accident
reconstruction was
necessary first to
determine if Leffew
is responsible for
Gaines death, said District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe.
Gaines, a student and basketball play-
er at Gavilan College in Gilroy, was a
passenger in a Cadillac traveling south
on Highway 101 north of Millbrae
Avenue. The group of four was heading
home from a night in San Francisco
when the driver lost control after swerv-
ing to avoid a tire in the road, collided
with the center divider and stopped in
the middle lane. Minutes later, prosecu-
tors say Leffew crashed his Nissan
300ZX into the car, pushing it down the
highway for a distance.
Three other passengers inside the
Cadillac were injured. Gaines suffered a
traumatic head injury and remained on
life support until Nov. 18 when he was
removed. Leffew suffered a head injury,
severe facial cuts and broken bones,
according to his defense attorney Steven
Clark.
While in the hospital, a blood sample
placed his blood alcohol level at .12 per-
cent, according to the District Attorneys
Ofce.
Driver pleads not guilty in crash that killed college student
Dennis Leffew
By Hannah Dreier
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry
Brown said he is condent voters will
approve his November tax initiative as a
way to avoid further cuts to public
schools, even though a poll published
Wednesday shows the measure has only
a narrow margin of support.
The Public Policy Institute of
California survey found that 54 percent
of likely voters are inclined to vote yes
on the proposed tax hike, which has two
months to qualify for the ballot, while 39
percent are opposed.
Thats a relatively low mark for an ini-
tiative this far in advance of an election,
said polling director Mark Baldassare,
who also serves as president and CEO of
the institute. Generally, support for ini-
tiatives tends to decline as campaigning
heats up closer to an election.
In a telephone interview, Brown dis-
missed such a possibility as a conven-
tional thought not always borne out in
campaigns. Overall, he said the poll
results were positive.
Anytime youre asking for a tax, you
have your work cut out for you, he told
the Associated Press. This is going to
be a very competitive campaign between
yes and no, and Im going to do all I can
because I know that the vast majority of
the people dont want the cuts.
An overwhelming majority of likely
voters said they believe the budget
remains a big problem for the state, and
78 percent oppose automatic spending
cuts to K-12 education that will take
effect if voters reject Browns tax initia-
tive this fall, the poll showed.
Conducted in early April, the poll is
the rst time the institute has taken vot-
ers temperature since Brown struck a
deal with supporters of a rival ballot
measure involving a tax on millionaires
and incorporated that proposal into his
own.
The current measure would raise the
states sales tax by a quarter-cent for ve
years and increase income taxes on a
sliding scale for seven years on those
who make more than $250,000 annually.
The nonpartisan Legislative Analysts
Ofce estimates the higher taxes would
generate $6.8 billion in additional rev-
enue in the upcoming scal year.
About two-thirds of voters favor high-
er income taxes on the wealthy, while 52
percent oppose raising the state sales
tax, the poll showed. Baldassare noted
that the slim majority support for
Browns tax initiative was within the
surveys margin of error.
Theres by no means the kind of sup-
port at this stage, where you havent
even heard from the other side, that you
can feel with condence this is some-
thing people are supporting, Baldassare
said.
Brown rejected the notion that it might
have been politically unwise to include
the sales tax component in his measure.
He has said that he sought that increase
because he believed it was important to
have all Californians participate in what
he hopes will be a solution to the states
ongoing scal trouble.
I think it should be broad-based, he
said. Thats not a mistake; just look at
the poll.
Poll: Slim majority favor Browns tax hike
Anytime youre asking for a tax, you have your
work cut out for you. ...This is going to be a very

Thelma Taylor
Thelma Taylor died surrounded by her loving family April 6,
2012, in Redwood City of natural causes after a lengthy stay at
Sequoia Hospital.
She is survived by her adoring husband
Joe of 55 years, daughter Linda Bertetta
(Russ), sons John and Mark and grandsons
Patrick and Christopher Bertetta and
granddaughters Miranda and Alexandra
Taylor.
Thelma was born in Maui, Hawaii Jan.
25, 1931. She was one of nine children of
Yamato and Untara Miyashiro.
Thelma attended the University of Hawaii and graduated
from Queens Hospital School of Nursing in 1953. Upon grad-
uation, she headed for San Francisco where she began her long
career in nursing at the VA Hospital at Fort Miley and met her
future husband Joe.
Thelma was a 50-year resident of San Carlos. She worked at
several VA hospitals before beginning her more than 30 year
tenure at Sequoia Hospital. During her last 20 years she was
one of the outstanding nurses in Sequoias emergency room,
widely respected by the doctors, her peers and the patients for
the care she provided.
Some of Thelmas favorite times were spent at the cabin in
Arnold. She loved family vacations playing cards, games
with the children and grandchildren, barbecuing and shing.
Whenever Thelma was with her family, she was happiest.
Thelma was a born care-giver, she was there whenever and
to whomever she was needed. We have lost a true angel of
mercy.
A memorial service will be held 11 a.m. Saturday, April 28
at Skylawn Funeral Home on State Route 92.
Donations can be made in Thelmas name to the Sequoia
Hospital Foundation, Emergency Room Fund.

WASHINGTON In an escalating
election-year clash, the House will vote
Friday on a $5.9 billion Republican bill
preventing interest rates on federal student
loans from doubling this summer, paid for
by cutting money from President Barack
Obamas health care overhaul law.
Wednesdays abrupt announcement by
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio,
came with Obama and Democrats clamor-
ing daily for congressional action to pre-
vent the current 3.4 percent interest rate
on subsidized Stafford student loans from
automatically increasing to 6.8 percent on
July 1.
That increase, set by law unless
Congress blocks it, would affect 7.4 mil-
lion students at a time when both parties
are competing for the votes of young
adults and their par-
ents who must foot
college tuitions. Each
is also trying to show
voters that it knows
best how to shield
people from pain
inicted by the weak
economy.
With Obama
engaged in a series of
campaign-style speeches in recent days
about the need to block the interest rate
boost, Republicans came under even
greater pressure when Mitt Romney, the
GOPs presumptive presidential nominee,
announced Monday that he, too, favored
the move.
Also taking the offensive were Senate
Democrats, who introduced legislation
Tuesday blocking the increase for a year.
Senate Republicans said they backed the
idea of freezing the interest rate but
opposed a tax on some private corpora-
tions that Senate Democrats would use to
pay for it. Until Boehners announcement
of Fridays vote, Republicans had nothing
tangible they could vote for to demon-
strate their support.
At a hurriedly called news conference,
Boehner told reporters that Obama has
been trying to invent a ght where there
wasnt and never has been one and said,
We can and will x the problem without
a bunch of campaign-style theatrics.
He added, What Washington shouldnt
be doing is exploiting the challenges that
young Americans face for political gain.
Boehner spoke after Obama had
wrapped up his third college campus visit
in two days, using his cheering young
audiences as backdrops to laud
Democrats efforts to keep student loans
affordable and to bash Republicans.

WASHINGTON Newt Gingrich
began taking steps Wednesday to shut
down his debt-laden White House
bid, setting the stage to endorse one-
time rival Mitt Romney next week
and rally Republicans behind their
apparent nominee.
Gingrich had a friendly telephone
conversation Wednesday with
Romney and had started planning an
event where he would throw his sup-
port behind the likely nominee,
Gingrich spokesman R.C Hammond
said. The pair agreed to work togeth-
er to unite conservatives against
President Barack Obama.
Its clear Romney is the nominee
and the focus should be on defeating
Obama. We should not focus on
defeating ourselves, Gingrich told
disappointed supporters in Kings
Mountain, N.C., the morning after
Romney tightened his grip on the
nomination by sweeping primary
contests in ve states.
Gingrich also telephoned
Republican National Committee
Chairman Reince Priebus and sup-
porters, such as Texas Gov. Rick
Perry, in states with upcoming pri-
maries to inform them of the deci-
sion he had been hinting at for days.
Gingrich had been under pressure
for some time to leave the race and
clear a path for Romney.

est about whats happening in the
real world as opposed to what you
would like to have happened, he
told supporters at a suburban

Belmont versus artists
Editor,
Belmont has shown again that artists
are only a tool and not to be valued for
their artistic contribution to the com-
munity (Artists search for new home
in the April 23 edition of the Daily
Journal).
Before the artists moved to the 1870
Art Center, they had their studios in
Twin Pines Park. Each artist had paint-
ed, repaired and decorated rooms of a
dilapidated sanatorium. It was a lovely
enjoyable group of studios. After the
artists had improved the complex,
Belmont took over the area, much to
the dismay of the displaced artists.
Again, without any help from the city
of Belmont, the artists have improved
the 1870 Art Center. Without even a
Thank You for improving our build-
ing and creating an artistic center,
Belmont is again making it impossible
for the artists to stay.
Councilwoman Coralin Feierbach,
stated that times have changed. No
the times havent changed. Belmont
watches as people improve land or
buildings, and then the Belmont coun-
cil decides it should be their property.
When the group of artists move to
Burlingame, Burlingame will gain from
Belmonts loss.

Letter to the editor
Los Angeles Times
C
alifornia is on the verge of a
justice revolution.
Realignment, as it is known, is
a set of changes thrust upon the state by
our collective inertia: Prisons had
become so overcrowded as to violate
the U.S. Constitutions prohibition
against cruel and unusual punishment,
and Californians demonstrated no will
to pay more money for more prisons.
As a result, the courts ordered the pris-
ons to reduce their inmate population
by 30,000 over the next two years. So
Gov. Jerry Brown and the Democratic-
controlled Legislature quickly and
somewhat carelessly adopted realign-
ment, which transfers responsibility for
many felons who have completed their
prison time, and many newly convicted
felons, from the state to the counties. In
the process, the shift clears a festering
multimillion-dollar problem from the
states books.
But the philosophy behind realign-
ment is based on more than a decade of
thinking, studying, evidence-gathering
and soul-searching over the costly cycle
of crime, incarceration, failure and
return to prison. Felons who are yet sal-
vageable whose crimes are neither
serious nor sexual nor violent can be
supervised, treated and monitored at the
local level instead of being housed with
hardened convicts in distant and costly
state facilities. Agencies can assess
defendants and separate those who need
treatment from those who need to be
under lock and key. The public can be
safer, the cycle can be broken, and tax
money can be spent more constructive-
ly and more frugally.
This revolution will be won, with
crime rates continuing to fall and with a
corrections and rehabilitation complex
nally worthy of the names, or it will
be lost, with treatment money spent
instead on more lockups and with
bureaucratic slip-ups leading to the
wrong people going free, based on the
decisions of just a few key Californians
over the coming several years. One of
them will be the next district attorney
of Los Angeles County.
Nearly half the states population of
addicts, mentally ill and petty offenders
foolishly incarcerated in costly and
overcrowded institutions comes
from this county, as does nearly half the
population of Californias most danger-
ous and violent criminals. The Los
Angeles County district attorney will
set the course. Realignment will be the
ofces centerpiece.
Voters who are sifting through the
candidates for district attorney should
know some basics about realignment.
The program comes in four parts, all of
which focus on gradually transferring
some responsibilities from the state to
the counties: State inmates who were
incarcerated for nonviolent, non-serious
and non-sexual crimes leave prison on
the same schedule and return to the
same home communities as before, but
they now report to county probation
ofcers instead of state parole agents.
Former inmates under supervision who
are accused of violating the terms of
their release and who would previously
have gone to a parole board for a deci-
sion on revocation now go to court.
Former inmates whose parole is
revoked will go to county jail instead of
state prison. And new convicts who for-
merly would go to state prison to serve
their sentences for most nonviolent,
non-serious and non-sexual offenses
will now go to county jail, or to alterna-
tive punishment or supervision (some
60 offenses that fall within the so-called
non-non-non group still will result in
state prison time).
Voters should expect the six candi-
dates for district attorney to have mas-
tered the facts of realignment and to be
able to present well-thought-out poli-
cies for re-creating the justice system in
Los Angeles County and making the
reforms stick.
But today, none of the candidates
seems completely prepared to grapple
with what to do next. Some repeat
falsehoods as if they were gospel: Los
Angeles Countys jails are overcrowded
(false; they are at about half capacity).
Californias recidivism rate is 70%
(meaningless, without distinguishing
between a new criminal offense that
should land an offender back behind
bars and a technical parole violation,
such as failing to report to an agent in
time). Realignment puts parolees on
our streets unsupervised (a blatant
falsehood). State prisoners are being
released early under realignment
(false). But its true that if prosecutors,
the courts and the sheriff are not care-
ful, they will release people whom they
should keep. And its true that under
realignment, more jail inmates (as
opposed to prison inmates) may be
unsupervised upon release.
Alan Jackson has two answers to
realignment: repeal it (which is not
going to happen, and Jackson knows it)
and allow counties to send prisoners
out of state instead of seeking alterna-
tive treatment and supervision for those
who can respond to it. Carmen
Trutanich repeats the old saw that we
cannot start crying, The sky is
falling. We know that, but what would
he do as D.A. to make realignment
work? This is a terrible mistake,
Jackie Lacey offers somewhat wearily.
But its also an opportunity. Very
well, but how will she respond to that
opportunity?
Danette Meyers sees part of the solu-
tion in training prosecutors, and her
approach has some promise: seek pro-
bation, so that defendants may remain
on the hook until they have completed
restitution to their victims. And Bobby
Grace says the district attorney must
take a stronger role in seeking funding
for re-entry programs that keep the
public safe and direct the offender
toward a clean life.
But we need more from the district
attorney candidates. More details, more
facts, more information about the level
of their commitment to remaking the
justice system in a way that works.
Realignment should be a key issue in
this campaign, along with the others
outlined in The Times The Next
D.A. series: juvenile justice, three
strikes, the death penalty, and public
integrity. They still have a few weeks to
make their case.
Californias justice revolution
The other side
of the equation
T
ime gives short-shrift to victims. The crimes may
carve a spot in history and undoubtedly leave
indelible marks, both physical and mental. The
perpetrators sometimes become
household names. But those on
the receiving end rarely get a
lasting nod.
There are undoubtedly high-
profile victims whose name
brings immediate recognition.
Polly Klass. JonBenet Ramsey.
Matthew Shepard. Sharon Tate.
Rodney King. Nicole Brown
Simpson. Trayvon Martin. The
years in between, however, are
filled with victims of a whole
range of crimes whose names and
faces were never publicly known
or have been long forgotten.
In comparison, the crimes become synonymous with
those guilty of them. Bundy, Manson, Gacy, Dahmer
dont even need a first name, do they? Eric Harris and
Dylan Klebold. Lizzie Borden. The Menendez Brothers.
Susan Smith. Anders Behring Breivik.
Name any of the lives they took or forever altered. Just
try.
Some of the lopsided attention is warranted. Public safety
agencies and the media dont often release or use victims
names, particularly if the injury they suffered was less than
death and most certainly if the crime was of a sexual
nature. Theyve already been violated; they dont need
another inroad into their privacy. Hence, even those whose
crimes making national news cloak the victims in labels
like the Central Park Jogger or simply the victim of so and
so.
But in their absence, the victims become a supporting
character in the story of another the criminal, whose
name appears in the newspaper, whose face becomes
splashed on the television screen, whose versions and
defenses and pleas wind their way through court and reha-
bilitative programming. Their stories propel repeals of the
death penalty and bolster innumerable television programs
about life behind bars.
The presumption of innocence in the judicial system is, it
should go without saying, an incredibly good thing. After
conviction, the marking of rehabilitation milestones for
criminals turning their lives around is also incredibly
worthwhile. Choices, Bridges, drug court graduations,
prayer breakfasts, work training completion, Service
League programs. All of these, sprinkled through the year,
deserve acknowledgment and compassion. Isnt that the
point of rehabilitation and the recently implemented crimi-
nal realignment plan striving to reduce recidivism and
redirecting this wayward population on to the right path?
That said, what is out there for the victims?
This week is National Crime Victims Rights Week, one
of a hundred if not a thousand declared days and weeks
throughout the calendar year marking random anniver-
saries, cat appreciation, doughnuts, speaking like a pirate.
Throughout the nation, and even here in San Mateo, rallies
and gatherings honored the courage and remembered the
experiences of those who have been affected by crime. But
next week will come, bringing with it a new batch of high-
lighted groups, and victims will again slide from focus
aside from the occasional fundraiser or commentary in the
wake of another sensational case.
More than seven years ago, at a clemency hearing for
condemned San Mateo County murderer Donald Beardslee,
a prosecutor offered an excerpt from a book chronicling the
bludgeoning death of Yale student Bonnie Garland by her
boyfriend. His subsequent escape from a murder conviction
was assumed in large part because the community believed
he was a victim of his own upbringing. The passage, in
essence, describes how after a murder the goodwill and
empathy of a community shifts from the victim to the crim-
inal because they are the ongoing reality, the only key play-
er left. The criminal usurps the compassion that is justly
the victims. And he will steal his victims moral con-
stituency along with her life.
One week doesnt change that unfair swing. One rally or
march or commentary piece doesnt hand victims the same
platter of rights afforded the accused and convicted. One
candlelight vigil doesnt make anybody whole again.
But there is no such thing as a victimless crime and for
every guilty person, there is at least one other individual
impacted. This week is meant to pay notice to those vic-
tims who never asked to be part of that equation.

NEW YORK The Nasdaq compos-
ite index shot 2 percent higher
Wednesday, powered by a surge in
Apple. The iPhone makers stock
climbed $50 after the company once
again blew past Wall Streets prot fore-
casts.
With Apples help, the technology-
focused Nasdaq posted its best day this
year.
Apple, the biggest component of the
index by far, climbed 8.9 percent after
reporting that its earnings doubled in the
rst three months of the year. The com-
pany sold 35 million iPhones, twice as
many as in the same quarter a year ago.
The surge made back about half of
what Apples stock lost in the two weeks
before its earnings announcement late
Tuesday. One reason for the slump was
an analysts suggestion that Apple could
not keep up the momentum in iPhone
sales.
Stock in Apple, the most valuable
public company in the world, hit $644 in
intraday trading on April 10 and slid as
low as $555 on Tuesday.
Apple jumped nearly $50 to $610 on
Wednesday. The gain helped power the
Nasdaq up 68.03 points to 3,029.63.
Apple makes up 12 percent of the
Nasdaq.
The Nasdaq rose more than other mar-
ket indexes thanks to its heavy weight-
ing of Apple shares. The Standard &
Poors 500 index includes Apple; the
Dow Jones industrial average doesnt.
The Dow gained 89.16 points to close
at 13,090.72, a 0.7 percent increase. The
S&P 500 index rose 18.72 points, or 1.4
percent, to 1,390.69. Apple accounts for
4 percent of the S&P 500.
The tech giant joined a growing list of
companies that have reported surpris-
ingly strong first-quarter earnings.
Through last week, eight out of 10 com-
panies that reported earnings had beat
estimates, including Microsoft, IBM
and Coca-Cola. Even so, the S&P 500
index is still down 1 percent for the
month.
Sure, earnings are a lot better than
expected, but this looks like a quarter
where the market doesnt react to that,
said Brian Gendreau, market strategist
at Cetera Financial. I dont think that
the positive earnings season weve had
is enough to shake this market out of its
trading range.

jumped 58 percent on higher revenue from
sales of its commercial airplanes.
Harley-Davidson Inc., up $3.13 at $53.49
The motorcycle maker said that its rst-quarter
prot jumped 44 percent, as improving
economic conditions boosted U.S. sales.
The Jones Group Inc., down 99 cents at $11.25
The company,whose brands include Nine West

quarter due to costs of closing stores.
Lorillard Inc., down $5.29 at $129.53

WASHINGTON The Federal
Reserve says the economy is growing
moderately while cautioning that risks
from Europe remain. Its holding off on
taking any further steps to boost the
recovery.
In a statement after a two-day meet-
ing, the Fed said Wednesday that eco-
nomic growth should pick up gradual-
ly a somewhat brighter view than it
offered last time. It said the job market
has strengthened slightly but that unem-
ployment remains elevated. And it point-
ed to a pickup in ination but said it
should be only temporary.
The Fed stuck with its plan to keep a
key short-term interest rate near zero
through at least late 2014. It announced
no new plans for further bond buying
after a current program ends in June.
But Chairman Ben Bernanke told
reporters at a news conference that bond
buying or other steps are still an option if
the economy should weaken.
Those tools remain very much on the
table and we will not hesitate to use
them should the economy require addi-
tional support, Bernanke said.
The Fed has pursued two rounds of
purchases of Treasury bonds and mort-
gage-backed securities to try to push
down long-term interest rates. The goal
has been to encourage borrowing and
spending.
Its decision to leave its policy
unchanged had been widely expected,
and reaction in nancial markets was
muted. The yield on the 10-year
Treasury note edged higher, and the dol-
lar rose slightly against other currencies.
Stock indexes didnt move much.
David Jones, chief economist at DMJ
Advisors, said he thinks the Fed will
keep another round of bond buying as an
option through the rest of this year.
Fed: Economy growing moderately
Burger King makes cage-free eggs, pork promise
In a boost to animal welfare activists looking to get livestock
out of cramped cages, Burger King will be the rst major U.S.
fast-food chain to give all of its chickens and pigs some room
to roam. On Wednesday, the worlds second-biggest burger
chain pledged that all of its eggs and pork will come from
cage-free chickens and pigs by 2017, hoping to satisfy rising
consumer demand for humanely produced fare and increase its
sales in the process.
Other companies have made similar but less broad
announcements this year, part of an industrywide shift to con-
sider animal welfare when buying food supplies.
Even if youre buying a burger, you want to buy it from
someone you like and respect, said food industry analyst Phil
Lempert, who writes a daily industry newsletter. Its proven
that consumers are willing to pay a little bit more for fairness,
whether its to humans or animals.
Amgen buying Turkeys Mustafa Nevzat for $700M

Sequoias Nicole Kielty, right, hustles down the rst-base line and beats the throw of Woodside rst baseman Allie Knapp during the
Cherokees 4-2 win over the Wildcats in PAL OceanDivision play Wednesday.
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
There are all kinds of clichs involving
baseball, one of which is the following: Put
the ball in play, you never know what can hap-
pen.
The Sequoia softball team put that state-
ment to the test Wednesday against rival
Woodside and the Cherokees found out exact-
ly what can happen. Despite not hitting the
ball particularly well against Woodside pitch-
er Christina Patton, the Cherokees managed to
score four runs in the fth inning, turning a 2-
0 decit into an eventual 4-2 win.
Sequoia (7-0 PAL Ocean, 14-4 overall) had
only two hits during its four-run rally, but two
Woodside throwing errors extended the
inning, which allowed the Cherokees to rst
tie the game at 2 and then take a two-run lead.
I knew coming in we had to play a perfect
game, said Woodside coach Mike King. We
couldnt stay away from the errors. Its a lot of
pressure being in a big game like this.
Considering Woodside (7-2, 17-3) has only
two seniors on the team, King believes the
enormity of the game might have affected his
teams performance. Woodside needed a win
to have a shot at winning the Peninsula
Athletic League Ocean Division title.
We (the coaches) tried to keep it low key,
King said. But (the team) knew what was at
stake.
Despite trailing most of the game, Sequoia
coach Scott Reynick said his team never gave
up.
In our body of work (this season), we have
several come-from-behind wins, Reynick
said. Putting it (the ball) in play puts pressure
on the defense.
The Cherokees, who had two hits through
the rst four innings, got a single and ground-
rule double from Caitlin Castagnola and
Alaina Woo, respectively, with one out in the
fth. Following a lineout, Sarah Singh hit a
routine grounder to the third baseman, but she
threw the ball away, with Castagnola coming
home on the play. Ashley Killmon then
walked to load the bases and Nicole Kieltys
walk tied the score at 2. Makalya Genardini
followed and hit a comebacker to the pitcher,
but her throw to first was low and the
Cherokees take charge

MILLBRAE I
recently attended a
family funeral in
Southern California.
The burial took
place at a long
established Catholic
Cemetery which
later decided to build a Mortuary facility on
their property. I knew from past experience
that this cemetery was well maintained and
had a good reputation. The immediate
family had other loved-ones buried at the
cemetery and wished to return this time too.
With the knowledge that this cemetery had a
Mortuary on the grounds they trusted it to be
convenient and decided to have this facility
handle the funeral arrangements.
Prior to the funeral I had some phone
contact with the Mortuary staff and saw
nothing out of the ordinary. But soon after I
spoke to family members who relayed
troubling details such as higher than average
costs, questionable service and other
apprehensions that raised a red-fag. I
listened carefully taking into consideration
that funerals and arrangements may be
conducted differently in Southern California
(as compared to here on the Peninsula).
Later though I discovered that these
concerns and others were all valid as I
experienced them myself during the funeral.
Coming from the background of owning
a family run and community supportive
funeral home I was embarrassed at what I
saw as a production line process with little
compassion or time to care for the families
this Mortuary is supposed to be serving.
I wondered how the Catholic Church
could allow this Mortuary to operate in such
a manner? Well, I did some research and
discovered that the Archdiocese of Los
Angeles has mortuaries located on a
number of their cemetery properties, but
does not operate them. According to the
Funeral Consumers Alliance of Southern
California the Archdiocese has an
arrangement with Stewart Enterprises
which is a New Orleans based mortuary
corporation. Stewart Enterprises runs a
website called Catholic Mortuaries.com
giving a misleading impression to many that
the Catholic Church operates these facilities.
When patronizing one of these
mortuaries on Catholic cemetery grounds
most families assume that they will be
receiving a level of comfort as they would
from their local church or parish priest.
None of this was evident during my
experience of extremely high costs
(compared to what was received) and the
dis-interested service provided by the
mortuary staff. I dont see this as a failing
of the Catholic cemetery, but of those in
charge of running this mortuary.
The point Im trying to make is to do
your homework and shop for a Funeral
establishment you are comfortable with.
Just because a Mortuary is located on
cemetery property doesnt mean they are
your only choice or that they offer fair costs
or give better quality ofservice. You have
the right to select what ever funeral home
you wish to conduct the arrangements. Talk
to various funeral directors, and ask friends
and families who they would recommend.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

OAKLAND Kila Kaaihue blooped a
winning single in the 14th inning soon after
Yoenis Cespedes tying two-run homer, and
the Oakland Athletics rallied past the Chicago
White Sox 5-4 on Wednesday.
Cespedes delivered his fth homer of the
season against Hector Santiago (0-1) after
Chicago took the lead in the top half. Then
Kaaihue came through with one out in a
game that lasted 3 hours, 56 minutes.
Jim Miller (1-0) struck out Brent Lillibridge
for his rst major league win after being
called up earlier in the day.
Alexei Ramirez hit a go-ahead two-run dou-
ble with two outs in the top of the 14th.
Paul Konerko hit his 400th career home run
to tie the game at 2 in the Chicago ninth.
The game featured Take Me Out to the
Ball Game twice, along with a 14th-inning
stretch.
After a pair of gems from Chicago starters
this trip Phil Humbers perfect game
Saturday at Seattle, then Jake Peavys three-
hit shutout Monday this day became about
the terric White Sox bullpen until Oakland
nally got to the relievers.
Konerko sent the rst pitch from As closer
Grant Balfour onto the left-eld steps to start
the ninth.
It looked like the White Sox would take this
one after scoring two unearned runs in the top
of the 14th.
Dayan Viciedo reached on third baseman
Eric Sogards elding error and Brent Morel
sacriced him to second. Eduardo Escobar
ied out and Alejandro De Aza walked before
Miller relieved Jerry Blevins to face Ramirez.
The As saved themselves in the 13th with a
pair of defensive gems. Catcher Kurt Suzuki
caught pinch-runner Lillibridge well off sec-
ond base, then shortstop Cliff Pennington
chased down Alex Rios double that skipped
into the Oakland bullpen and made a quick
throw to Sogard, who then relayed to Suzuki
just in time to get a sliding Gordon Beckham.
Konerkos fourth homer of the year spoiled
an impressive As debut by Jarrod Parker, who
struck out ve in 6 1-3 innings following his
call-up from Triple-A Sacramento.
The 23-year-old Parker, making just his sec-
ond career start, exhibited the poise and
improved command the As hoped he would
after sending him down this spring to work
some things out.
Reddicks two-out double to right-center in
the sixth brought home speedy leadoff hitter
Jemile Weeks, who started the rally with a
one-out single. Cespedes followed with an
RBI single.

OAKLAND A trio of surgeries for
Golden States top starters is off to a positive
start.
Arthroscopic surgery on Stephen Currys
troublesome right ankle Wednesday revealed
a stable ankle with no structural damage. The
Warriors said the operation performed by Dr.
Richard Ferkel in Southern California con-
sisted of cleaning out loose debris and scar
tissue and deemed the operation success-
ful.
Curry is expected to resume basketball
activities in three to four months. Golden
State hopes its franchise point guard can avoid
another more serious surgery for the second
straight summer and be ready for falls train-
ing camp.
The surgery went about as well as we
could have hoped for entering the procedure,
Ferkel said in a statement. We were pleased
that the surgery was limited to simply a clean-
ing out procedure and I anticipate that hell be
ready before for the start of training camp.
The operation began a week of Warriors
going under the knife.
Forward David Lee will have surgery
Thursday in Philadelphia to repair a torn
abdominal muscle. And center Andrew Bogut
is scheduled to have arthroscopic surgery on
his fractured left ankle Friday also per-
formed by Ferkel in Van Nuys, Calif. that
will force him to sit out the Olympics for

NEW YORK Andrew Luck
knows exactly where hes heading,
and so does Robert Grifn III.
For the rest of the college stars
preparing for the NFL draft Thursday
night, the anxiety is building.
Nobody is looking forward to the
green room at Radio City Music
Hall.
It kind of made me a little nervous
when we were talking to the commis-
sioner and he said, Youll be back
there for an hour and itll feel like
youve been back there for five
days, Southern California tackle
Matt Kalil said. Ill be sweatin up a
storm back there, and I want to have
my name called and not have to wait
too long.
He shouldnt have to worry much
about that. Most mock drafts project
Kalil to go third overall to Minnesota
after Luck heads to Indianapolis and
Grifn to Washington. But he knows
better than to put much stock in the
predraft chatter.
I stopped paying attention to all of
that stuff, said Kalil, attending an
NFL event at a playground in
Manhattan. No one really has a clue.
Unless youre the GM of a team, you
dont really know who a team is
going to pick, so you just let it all
play out.
Thats the approach for the nearly
two dozen other players wholl be at
Radio City and have no idea when
they might walk onto the stage, shake
Commissioner Roger Goodells hand
and hold up the jersey of the team
with which theyll start their profes-
sional career.
For Luck and RGIII, they know
whats going on and they know
where theyre going to live and all
that kind of stuff, Alabama safety
Mark Barron said. A lot of us other
guys, were still wondering where
were going to be living for the next
however many years.
Grifn, the Heisman Trophy win-
ner from Baylor, is comforted by
already knowing hell be a member
of the Redskins. But he thinks he
might actually miss the draft-day jit-
ters. Well, at least a little bit.
It kind of puts yourself at ease,
he said, but it does kind of rob you
of that natural draftee experience
where you dont know where youre
going and youre in limbo.
Added South Carolina defensive
end Melvin Ingram: Yeah, I guess
that would be kind of different. You
wont get that adrenaline of, Oh,
man. I hope they pick me, when you
know where youre going.
Luck will go No. 1 overall to
Indianapolis after a terric career at
Stanford. Like Grifn, he is also
expected to step right into a starting
job as a rookie.
I guess its nice, but theres
always competition in football and if
I go out there and lay an egg and Im
not the best quarterback out there, I
hope they dont start me, Luck said.
Im excited, though. Im going to go
out there and hopefully play, obvi-
ously, and put my best foot forward
and enjoy all the guys.
Luck, the son of former NFL quar-
terback Oliver Luck, acknowledged
that it was a relief to know hell be
going to the Colts even if theyre
starting from scratch after they
released Peyton Manning.
Obviously, the slate has been
wiped somewhat clean with some
new coaches and some players who
have gone or left, but Ill try to come
in there and work as hard as I can,
Luck said. If that means its a
rebuilding process, I guess you can
label it as that. The guys Im sure are
working very hard and I just want to
get out there and join them.
After Luck and Griffin, Texas
A&Ms Ryan Tannehill is expected
to be the next quarterback taken
possibly eighth overall by Miami,
where hed be reunited with Mike
Sherman. The new Dolphins offen-
sive coordinator was Tannehills head
coach the last four years.
If I did happen to go there, it
would be good, said Tannehill, who
would compete with starter Matt
Moore. It would give me some
familiarity with the offense, so I think
it would help ease the transition a lit-
tle bit.
Oklahoma States Justin Blackmon
will likely be the rst wide receiver
picked, possibly as high as No. 4 by
Cleveland. Notre Dames Michael
Floyd, Georgia Techs Stephen Hill
and Baylors Kendall Wright are
other receivers who might go in the
opening round.
Its a great time to come into the
league if you are a receiver, said
Blackmon, a two-time winner of the
Biletnikoff Award as college foot-
balls top receiver. More teams are
throwing the ball a lot more, its more
wide open than ever on offense.

Woodside rst baseman couldnt handle it.
Woo and Singh came around to score and just
like that, Sequoia had the lead.
Thats a good team, King said, pointing to
Sequoia. We had them in the rst [meeting
between the two], 2-1 in the seventh, and we
gave up two runs on errors in the bottom of
the seventh.
The late rally made a winner of Kielty, who got
off to a shaky start before nishing with a our-
ish. She allowed only ve hits and only two
after the rst inning. In that rst inning, however,
she was far from her best.
After throwing a number of warm-up pitches
in the dirt, the Wildcats hit her hard in the bottom
of the rst inning to take a quick 2-0 lead.
Keshaila Chang was hit by a pitch leading off for
Woodside and moved to second on a groundout.
Sam Parker followed and singled to center. The
Sequoia center elder threw home, thinking there
would be a play at the plate, but Chang stopped
at third. Parker took off for second and the
Sequoia catcher tried to throw her out. Chang
saw the throw and took off for home, just beating
the return throw and giving Woodside a 1-0 lead.
Later in the inning, Ali McBride drove Parker
home with a single to center and Woodside
enjoyed a 2-0 lead.
But even as Patton held Sequoia in check
through four innings, King was afraid the two
runs would not stand up.
I knew it wasnt (enough), King said.
Against a team like [Sequoia], you have to score
early and then keep scoring. We got the two runs
early and we couldnt get anymore.
The win put Sequoia rmly in the drivers seat
for the Ocean Division title. While the Cherokees
have been involved in two close games with
Woodside this season, theyve run roughshod
over the rest of the division, winning their other
ve games by a combined score of 60-3.
Now we have to learn how to nish the sea-
son strong, Reynick said.

years, but has really come together in the last sev-
eral months.
Ive been grinding away at this for four
months, Garcia said. My dean came to me at
the end of fall exams and said, We need to put
together our rst Hall of Fame (class). Its 44
years past due.
With CSM and Skyline doing theirs this last
fall, we had to do ours.
Garcia said there was talk of inducting in the
rst class the eventual Big League baseball
players he coached Moises Alou and Bobby
Bonds Jr. being among them but decided the
rst class would represent the rst few years of
the schools existence, which opened in 1968.
Its hard to argue against the inaugural class.
Anderson led the Colts mens tennis team to
eight state championships. He was named to
the California Community College Tennis
Coaches Hall of Fame in 2005.
Lucchesi won a state title in singles and dou-
bles in 1975 and went on to star at USC, win-
ning a NCAA tennis championship as well.
Ashley managed the baseball team for 14
years, winning the state title in 1971. Holland
played during the 1971 and 1972 season, earn-
ing All-American honors as well and was the
state tournament MVP in 1971. He was a rst-
round draft pick of the Boston Red Sox in
1972.
Vial led the mens soccer team to back-to-
back state titles in 1969 and 1970, with Zylker
as a main component on those teams. Zylker
was a two-time All-American and went on to
play for the U.S. Mens Olympic team in 1972
and 1976.
Weve had 11 state championships, Garcia
said. Thats not bad for such a tiny school.
Nicolopulos, who passed away late last year,
was a division dean and athletic director. He,
along with Vial, co-founded the Fitness for Life
Institute.
Garcia said each inductee will receive a Hall
of Fame ring and have their picture hung in the
Hall of Fame section of the gyms lobby.
Weve been wanting to do this the three to
ve years, Garcia said.

Sequoias Kaito Streets is a solid baseball
player. The senior outelder is a team captain,
is batting .312 and is tied for the team lead in
RBIs with 10.
But baseball is not even Streets best sport.
That would be fencing and that is what earned
Streets a scholarship to Penn State. He signed
his letter of intent earlier this week.
The Nittany Lions had three members of its
team qualify for the London Olympics this
summer and nished fth at this years NCAA
championships.

dropped seven straight and 12 of 16. Zito
remains winless there in six starts.
Jose Arredondo (2-0) had one perfect inning.
Sean Marshall pitched the ninth and remained
perfect in four save chances.
The Reds have won ve of their last six over-
all.
Before the game, the Giants put Aubrey Huff
on the 15-day disabled list while he gets treat-
ment for an anxiety attack. Huff left the team
after having a tough time in a game on Saturday.
He could rejoin the team in San Francisco next
weekend.
Pablo Sandoval singled in the third inning,
giving him a hit in each of the rst 18 games.
That matches Johnny Ruckers mark with the
1945 New York Giants for best season-opening
streak in franchise history.
Neither team did much through the rst six
innings, when a steady rain forced the grounds
crew to spread bags of drying material around
the ineld at each changeover.
Angel Pagan hit a solo homer in the third off
Bronson Arroyo, giving him a 10-game hitting
streak that matches his career high. Arroyo last-
ed ve innings, giving up at least one hit in each
of them. He allowed nine in all and one walk, but
escaped with only two runs one earned.
Until Wednesday night, Zito has struggled at
Great American, going 0-2 in ve starts with
7.20 ERA. The left-hander allowed only four
singles through six shutout innings, then left
after giving up Rolens leadoff homer in the sev-
enth.
Hensley, who hadnt allowed an earned run
this season, gave up a single by Ryan Ludwick
and set up the Reds go-ahead runs with a slip.
He nearly lost his footing while elding Ryan
Hanigans bunt, then threw wildly to rst.
Drew Stubbs walk loaded the bases, and
Wilson Valdezs sacrice y tied it. Affeldt
threw a wild pitch that let in another run, and
Joey Votto doubled for a 4-2 lead.
NOTES: The Reds swept a three-game series
from the Giants at Great American last July. ...
Ryan Vogelsong starts the nal game of the
series for SF. Hes 2-3 career against the Reds
with a 5.40 ERA. ... Homer Bailey starts for the
Reds, looking for his second straight win. He
went a season-high seven innings in a 9-4 win in
Chicago on Friday. ... The Giants lled Huffs
spot by calling up inelder Joaquin Arias from
Triple-A Fresno, where he batted .400. ...
Sandoval hit in 22 straight games last season, a
career best. ... Sandoval hit a foul ball that
cleared the stadium roof on the rst base side.

MADRID Bayern Munich
became the rst team to advance to
a Champions League nal it is host-
ing, beating Real Madrid 3-1 on
penalty kicks Wednesday night as
Bastian Schweinsteiger converted
the nal shot after Sergio Ramos
skied his over the crossbar.
Bayern, a four-time champion of
European soccers top club tourna-
ment, reached the nal for the sec-
ond time in three seasons and will
play Chelsea at Allianz Arena on
May 19. Chelsea eliminated
defending champion Barcelona on
Tuesday.
Madrids players left the field
with their heads hanging low and
some in tears.
Its a big blow for us. It was a
very exciting game, but penalties
are always a lottery, Madrid goal-
keeper Iker Casillas said. We
played well, but Bayern are a great
team.
Following Bayerns 2-1 win in
Germany last week, Real won the
second leg 2-1 to force the
shootout, the rst in the seminals
since Liverpool defeated Chelsea in
2007.
Ronaldo converted a penalty kick
in the sixth minute after a cross by
Angel Di Maria went off a hand of
sliding defender David Alaba.
Ronaldo doubled the lead in the
14th from inside the penalty area
from a pass by Mesut Oezil, his
56th goal of the season.

currently chair of the Redwood City
Planning Commission.
Schmidts target is the open District Four
seat on the Board of Supervisors, a goal
which if met will hand him his first elected
office. But Schmidt isnt daunted by not first
running for an office of a smaller scale.
Ruben Barrales was not an elected official
when he ran, Schmidt points out, referenc-
ing the boards first Latino supervisor who
was elected in 1992 and whose mid-term
departure made way for Supervisor Rose
Jacobs Gibson who currently holds the seat.
Jacobs Gibson is now being termed out and
45-year-old Schmidt, along with seven other
candidates, is eager to step in. But dont look
to Schmidt to speak ill of the competition
If I had to ask to be in any election, I could-
nt have asked for a better one. Im a big fan
of every one of them, he said.
Schmidt is also a big fan of public service,
coming from a family in which both of his
grandfathers were consul generals of
Mexico. His great-grandfather was a member
of Congress in Mexico as well as the first
postmaster general, creating airmail between
that county and the United States.
I was always in awe of them. They were
like movie stars to me, he remembered.
Yet, Schmidt had other dreams in his earli-
er years. He originally set his sights on law
enforcement. When being a police officer
didnt work out, he went on to become a
manager and assistant buyer at Nordstroms
department store not a bad fit for a man
whose wife is a cosmetics buyer for Macys
and who has no problem admitting he likes
shopping.
Schmidt also worked for the
Nissan/Infiniti auto company and Tesla
Motors. Taken together, Schmidt credits his
private sector experience in providing insight
into economic development and budgeting.
Although Schmidt did not follow directly
in the family footsteps, he said his communi-
ty involvement and ultimately the Planning
Commission were ways for him to help oth-
ers and give back. He joined the Roosevelt
Neighborhood Association and fell in love
with civic effort. He became its chair and
also became involved with the Sequoia
Awards, North Fair Oaks Community
Festival, Latino Leadership Council and
fundraising for the North Fair Oaks Library.
Schmidt also dabbled in real estate and
was interested in land use so when a spot
opened on the Planning Commission in
2009, he considered it the perfect combina-
tion. He was frankly already considering a
council run at some point and also felt the
Planning Commission would be a good step-
ping stone.
The first thing that struck him was the
amount of paperwork involved but said his
experience with real estate transactions was a
saving grace. Once he settled in, however, he
called the job a good fit.
It was like putting a square cube into a
square hole, he said.
Schmidt is hoping for a similar fit on the
county level where he wants to tackle eco-
nomic development and promotion of San
Mateo County along with recruiting the right
people for the right jobs to make the area
even better.
Youve got to go out and look for them.
You cant just sit back in your chair and hope
somebody knocks on your door, he said.
Although he weighed what some told him
about the normal method of joining the
City Council before weighing a supervisorial
bid, Schmidt said it was hard to pass up an
open seat. Incumbents are hard to unseat in
San Mateo County so vacancies are usually
only every dozen years, he said, adding that
usually the candidate with the most money
wins.
And there was no way I was going to
mortgage a house to get elected, he said.
Besides, he said, there is no rule book
mandating you cant jump directly from the
Planning Commission to the Board of
Supervisors.
And honestly, I feel I will add something
to the county seat, he said. I have the ben-
efit of being someone who is not only a new
face but also a new way of thinking.

ELECTION
Key priorities
Economic development, job growth and
affordable housing
Budget
Work together with cities more,focus on revenue
and job growth, work to get people off the
county health care plan.
When I talk to the community,the one common
thing they tell me is they just want to live in more
prosperous times.
Tax measures
No,tourism is a huge billion-dollar business.We
need to promote that and not send a message
that we appreciate your tourism but we want
you to pay more to enjoy it.
Economic development
Id promote San Mateo County like crazy and let
people know outside the county and throughout
the nation we are the place to do business in,live
in and play in. ... We have to go out and nd
companies out there that are able to sustain job
growth and really expand.
Transportation
Need to promote and incentivize public
transportation by making it more convenient
and having more commercial stops near
locations where the public wants to go like coffee
houses, newspaper stands and bus stops.
The new jail
Supports the new jail at the approved size,
particularly to replace the womens facility and
stave off potential lawsuits over overcrowding.
Jails arent supposed to be wonderful but there
is some expectation of standards ... My concern
is how are we going to pay for it.
Health care districts
Wants to learn more about them and their
purpose; doesnt necessarily agree with
dissolution or merging them.
Balancing district vs. county needs
Its not different than balancing being a planning
commissioner now and looking at how a decision
will affect a city 10 to 15 years down the road.
Youre forced to look at the entire picture and
cant be so narrowly focused and fragmented.
Housing
Find creative ways to nd affordable housing,
relying on the smart people in our innovative
county.
I nd it hard to believe theres not somebody
out there, if they actually got involved, that
doesnt have an answer. The question is would
we be able to implement it very quickly?
District vs. at-large elections
I went into this being for countywide but having
been involved in this election I would favor
district.

Starck: Democratic
design paying off
By Colleen Barry
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MILAN Philippe Starck says his philosophy of demo-
cratic design, or quality pieces at accessible prices, is paying
off in the ongoing economic crisis.
People are intelligent. They want quality. They want a high
level of creativity, but everyone will have less money, Starck
said in an interview during the Milan Furniture Fair, which
ended Sunday.
The times, he said, favor the kind of creative impulse that led
to his decades-long collaboration with the Italian design com-
pany Kartell, which specializes in plastic contemporary furni-
ture.
This was my intuition 40 years ago when I started design,
he said. Now we have the reward of the political and philo-
sophical choice.
In that mood, the mainstays of this years Milan Furniture
Fair, the industrys premier event, were not about costly redec-
orating. Instead, designers showcased a few distinctive pieces
that inspire and give new impulse to a room, as well as tech-
nological advances to make life easier.
By Sean Conway
THE TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
One of the pleasures I take in my gar-
den is watching it change as time passes.
The long-awaited owers of early-
blooming bulbs like crocus and daffodils
provide the rst splash of spring color in
my garden. However, before their ow-
ers have even started to fade, multitudes
of other plants start appearing on the
scene.
The slow, steady progress that my
spring bulbs make as they pop out of the
ground gives way a few weeks later to
warp-speed growth from every corner of
the garden.
I walk around my garden every day at
this time of year, and I always see some-
thing new. Inevitably, too, I see plants
emerging from the soil that I had forgot-
ten I had planted. Those discoveries are
why I enjoy gardening so much, and
why I love adding new plants to the gar-
den every year; their return brings me
pleasure akin to Christmas morning year
after year.
One of the benets of gardening for so
long is that I now have a rather full
garden. Over time, I have selected plants
that are attractive yet require minimal
effort on my part to keep them looking
good.
Many homeowners just starting a gar-
den make the mistake of buying plants
for their yard all at once. They often pur-
chase trees, shrubs or perennials during
one or two trips to the garden center with
the idea of completing the landscaping
as quickly as possible.
The problem with this approach is that
most people tend to choose what is in
bloom at the time they are shopping; this
is the reason industry professionals
always say, Color sells.
There is nothing wrong with buying
what looks good at the garden center
when you are there. The problem is that
planting your yard full of plants that all
bloom at the same time means that in
future years your yard will only look
good for the few short weeks during
which those plants are in bloom.
For a more interesting garden, spread
your visits to garden centers out over the
course of the season. Buy a few things in
the early spring, a few in mid-spring, a
few in late spring and so on.
Having once owned a nursery, I can
tell you rst hand that the customers
who continued shopping for plants dur-
ing the summer months and into the fall
have far more interesting gardens than
those who only came once or twice each
spring.
Creating an interesting landscape may
seem daunting, especially for those just
starting the process of planting their
yards. It may seem that there are too
many choices. The sheer numbers of
options at any garden center can be over-
whelming.
One of the best ways to get good ideas
for both plants and design is to visit
other gardens in your area. Garden tours
Creating a full garden takes years
An interesting garden is one that unfolds in a seamless succession of owers over
the course of the season.

meet good gardeners. Seeing what others have
done with their yards will provide you with
loads of ideas for your own. Homeowners are
usually present on garden tours, and most are
happy to answer questions or offer advice.
Go prepared. Bring a camera and a note-
book. Wear comfortable clothing and comfort-
able shoes, and pack an umbrella just in case.
Some of the best tours I have been on were in
the rain; fewer people attended, and plants
seem to perk up with a good drink.
Remember: creating a good garden takes
time. It is a process, and one best done over
the course of multiple seasons. Eventually, all
good gardeners come to love the process of
creating a garden as much as they do the out-
come.

Starck presented Miss Less, a glossy plas-
tic chair formed on a slim backrest atop a
square base, as well as a pair of aluminum can-
dlestick holders that when placed together
appear to be lost in an embrace called
Abbraciaio, and light plastic document hold-
ers named Archive. Something for everyone.
The French designer, who has a home on one of
Venices islands, also lent his iconic
Mademoiselle chair to design newcomer
Lenny Kravitz, who clad the plastic chair in
python, fur and leather.
Despite the persistent crisis, which has seen
Italian furniture revenues contract by 5 percent
to $20 billion in 2011 from 2010, requests for
space at the enormous Rho Fairgrounds outside
Milan outstripped availability by 19,000 square
meters (200,000 sq. feet), organizers said. The
event attracted some 300,000 visitors with
events that spill over into showrooms, muse-
ums and design spaces throughout the city,
which gives the event a high-design street fair
feel.
It is not just furniture-makers competing for
attention of the design community.
The Tumi luggage and accessories brand
chose the weeklong event to create a buzz
around a new line of lightweight hard luggage
designed by New York-based Israeli designer
Dror Benshetrit, who spent 18 months making
prototypes. The sleek Dror collection features
angular cut surfaces, giving the pieces a mod-
ern aesthetic that also employs an engineering
trick to give added resistance.

wasnt able to x on his own. Thats when a
letter came in the mail from Rebuilding
Together Peninsula about opportunities for
revitalization.
Revamping the South City residents home
is a project the nonprot was able to take on.
This past weekend, 25 dads and daughters
from Notre Dame High School Belmont came
by the help. It was the rst of a two-Saturday
project that culminates this weekend for
National Rebuilding Day. The event brings
together more than 3,500 volunteers who will
be rehabilitating and revitalizing neighbor-
hoods by providing free repairs to low-income
neighbors, seniors, people with disabilities
and families from Daly City to Sunnyvale.
Richard Danczak was amazed at being one
of the 66 projects chosen.
It was phenomenal to see all the dads and
the daughters here, he said.
Danczak was particularly happy for the help
since it is helping his dad.
Built in 1947, the Danczaks moved into the
home in 1957. The home hasnt been updated
in some 30 years. The project was a large one
for those involved. The interior of the house
requires some immediate attention in the liv-
ing room, bathroom and kitchen. The exterior
required the removal of two sheds, their con-
tents, cutting back overgrown ivy, painting
house exterior and replacing the rear yard
gate, platform and front door handrails.
The Dads Club at Notre Dame creates
opportunities for dads and daughters to work
together completing community service. Most
of the projects it has worked on have been on
or around the campus, said Mike McDonell,
one of the fathers.
When they heard another school had part-
nered with Rebuilding Together, the group
decided to learn more. Danczaks house is
their rst project.
McDonell noted the group saw the large
amount of work to be done on Saturday and
was unsure if it could be completed. Six hours
later, a number of indoor repairs had been
completed and the outside had been cleared of
two debris boxes holding 30 cubic yards each.
Along the way, dads had a chance to show
their daughters how to use tools while work-
ing alongside Danczak.
Theres still much work to be done this
weekend like landscaping and painting the
nishing touches on the work.
It really builds a sense of community when
you have a company [or group of volunteers]
that works in an area that steps up to be lead-
ers, said Rebuilding Together Executive
Director Seana OShaughnessy.
Offering that help allows families to get
projects they wanted completed done,
OShaughnessy added.
Lately, Rebuilding Together has seen a trend
in multi-generational households. In Daly
City, for example, there are nine households
that will be repaired Saturday which house 41
residents. Saturdays projects also include 21
community facility sites. One good thing from
the recession, OShaughnessy has also seen a
trend in more people wanting to volunteer for
projects.
Making these types of projects possible
requires nancial donations that are leveraged
by Rebuilding Together. For the Danczak proj-
ect, South San Francisco donated $3,000
though the Community Development Block
Grant.
Norma Fragoso, TITLE for South San
Francisco, explained the city previously had
programs in place to aid homeowners for rede-
velopment projects. Budget cuts and the dis-
solution of the Redevelopment Agency made
that tougher. One option for the grant money
is to donate it to nonprots like Rebuilding
Together, which often uses the funds to do far
more than anticipated.
Its a great help to our city, said Fragoso,
who added Rebuilding Together does a
remarkable job of making homes safer and
also more energy efcient, which cut costs for
residents during tight times.
Rebuilding Together Peninsula is always
accepting volunteers and donations. For more

terday that the civil grand jury simply does not
understand what the re service needs are on
the coast.
Riddell testied to the grand jury on Cal
Fires shortcomings and why a stand-alone
department would give greater local control to
the district but said many who sat on the grand
jury had a hard time understanding the differ-
ence between wildland re service, such as
Cal Fire provides, and a municipal re serv-
ice.
The service levels are not the same as
before, Riddell said.
Previously, the Half Moon Bay Fire
Protection District and Point Montara Fire
Protection District provided service on the
coast but the two consolidated in 2007 to form
the Coastside Fire Protection District.
Prior to the consolidation, the Half Moon
Bay Fire Protection District was beset with
operational, labor management, morale and
legal issues, according to the grand jury
report.
Riddell agrees the old re boards were dys-
functional but said that is not reason enough to
contract with the California Department of
Forestry and Fire Protection to provide service
on the coast, especially since Cal Fire is not
properly equipped to handle municipal res.
Im not knocking Cal Fire. I would be a
lousy Cal Fire reghter coming from munic-
ipal, Riddell said. I would have to be totally
retrained.
Besides, he said, Cal Fire did not meet the
service levels it agreed to with its yearly con-
tracts with the CFPD.
They are not providing proper inspections,
they cannot provide the kind of cliff rescues
we need and they have no EMTs (emergency
medical technicians), Riddell said.
The president of the Coastside Fire
Protection District, Doug Mackintosh, said the
civil grand jury took a high-handed tone in its
report, especially since its members are ama-
teurs with no knowledge of the communitys
re service needs.
The district will stay on course with its
effort to study the feasibility to establish the
stand-alone department if that is the boards
will, he said.
Im just one vote, Mackintosh told the
Daily Journal. He also said a stand-alone
department could be more of a shared servic-
es agreement with Pacica, Central County or
other agencies.
I support doing something different than
Cal Fire, he said. We have a unique oppor-
tunity to design something different.
The districts consultant will determine
what the true cost of running an independent
re department will be and whether the dis-
trict can provide competitive salaries,
Mackintosh said.
But the civil grand jury report said it found
little or no basis for the boards criticism of
Cal Fire.
The grand jury concludes that Cal Fire
deserves the full support of the Coastside Fire
Protection District Board and that the board
has failed to articulate any reason that would
justify termination or discontinuance of Cal
Fire as a service provider. Specically, the
grand jury has seen no evidence that a stand-
alone, locally administered re department
would be less costly or more effective than
existing Cal Fire service, according to the
report.
Establishing a stand-alone department on
the coast would be reverting to the failed pre-
Cal Fire structure. It is unlikely that
Coastside residents would benet from the
reestablishment of a stand-alone re depart-
ment, according to the report.

Forest farming can be an attractive
option for property owners who want
to earn more from their land without
cutting timber.
It generally involves thinning exist-
ing woodlots to leave the best canopy
trees for wood production while
opening the forest oor to understory
crops things like mushrooms,
blackberries and ginseng.
The combination of those prod-
ucts with timber is a real winner,
said Kenneth Mudge, an associate
professor of ornamental horticulture
at Cornell University. Its a good
way to get some early returns while
waiting for your trees to grow large
enough to be processed into lum-
ber.
The potential is huge, said James
Chamberlain, a non-timber forest
products technologist with the USDA
Forest Service Southern Research
Station, at Blacksburg, Va.
There are about 53 million acres of
family-owned forest in Appalachia
alone, Chamberlain said. Much of
that area has habitat for growing
herbaceous plants that can be harvest-
ed.
Almost any shade-tolerant plant or
fungus will grow in a wooded setting.
I recommend native plants,
though, that are attuned to the area
youre interested in, Chamberlain
said.
The costs of producing non-timber
products in forest farm setups can
vary dramatically, the U.S.
Department of Agriculture says.
Maple syrup or woods cultivated
for ginseng production may need an
investment of several hundred dollars
or more to purchase the necessary
equipment to get started, the agency
said in a fact sheet. On the other
hand, craft materials, leeks, native
fruit and nuts that are already grow-
ing on a site may not require any out-
of-pocket costs other than containers
to gather the products while harvest-
ing.
Theres a difference between forest
farming and wildcrafting, which is
gathering and processing naturally
occurring forest products on private
or public lands.
Woodlands can yield lesser-known crops
Edibles: Berries, pawpaw, ramps.
Medicinals: American ginseng,
goldenseal, bloodroot.
Ornamentals: Hostas, ferns, heucheras,
hellebores, daylilies.
Nuts:Walnuts, hickories, pecans.
Mushrooms: Shiitake, lions mane, oyster.
Others: Pine straw for mulch, deadfalls
for rewood, maple syrup, honey.
Is forest farming worth it? Consider these
net prot gures Davis compiled for
several high value specialty harvests:
Wild simulated ginseng will generate an
estimated $20,460 per half-acre after
nine years.
Organic, forest-grown goldenseal will
pay out some $2,490 per one-tenth acre
after four years.
Woods-grown ramps will be worth
$770 per one-tenth acre after three
years.

Almost any shade-tolerant plant or fungus will grow in a wooded setting.

Joshua Barry knows that wipe-
outs are inevitable when children
are climbing and sliding on outdoor
play sets. So he placed shredded
rubber under and around the climb-
ing toys his two children use in the
backyard of their Aurora, Ohio,
home.
It gives me peace of mind know-
ing theres a little bit of cushion-
ing, he said.
Safety experts say its important
to address the area around a swing
set or climbing equipment. Each
year hundreds of thousands of chil-
dren are treated in emergency
rooms for playground injuries, and
these are preventable, said Dr.
Brunilda Nazario, senior medical
editor at WebMD, a health informa-
tion website.
The key to avoiding injuries is
adding surface materials that will
cushion a fall, said Kate Carr, pres-
ident of Safe Kids, a Washington,
D.C.-based organization dedicated
to preventing childhood injuries.
Asphalt and concrete are too
hard, as are grass and turf, Nazario
said, since normal wear and tear
destroys their quality and absorp-
tion properties.
Good options include rubber
mulch, wood mulch, sand, fine
gravel or safety-tested rubber mat,
which are more forgiving than grass
and dirt are when a child falls,
Nazario said.
How deep you should lay the
ground material depends on what
you use and how high the play
equipment is. The U.S. Product
Safety Commission recommends
using at least 9 inches of mulch or
shredded rubber for equipment up
to 7 feet high. For sand or pea grav-
el, the commission recommends at
least a 9-inch layer for equipment
up to 5 feet.
Mulch - either wood or rubber - is
a better choice than sand or gravel
because it provides more shock
absorption, said Rick Jess, vice
president of merchandising for
lawn and gardening at Lowes head-
quarters in Mooresville, N.C.
Wood mulch is less expensive
than rubber, but it decomposes and
fades and has to be added to each
year, he said. Rubber mulch, which
is increasingly popular, lasts much
longer. It also is more than double
the price of traditional mulch, he
said.
It holds its color, he said. It
doesnt wash away. It doesnt
decompose.
Although cheaper than mulch,
sand and pea gravel have become
less popular surfaces for backyard
play sets because they dont stay
put as well, added Ace Hardwares
Lou Manfredini in Chicago.
With sand and pea gravel, its a
mess issue. Sand moves around the
yard quite a bit and can even get
tracked into the house on kids
shoes, said the Ace Home Expert.
Rubber mulch has gotten quite
popular over the last 10 years. It
tends to look good longer.
Regardless of what surface par-
ents choose, Manfredini suggests
rst installing a weed protection
barrier - a durable fabric that pre-
vent weeds from growing up
through the ground cover. He rec-
ommends against using weed
killers near play sets.
Parents also should carefully
choose the location of their set,
Nazario said. She recommends
shady areas where the ground is
level and there are no low-hanging
branches or wires.
Lots of options for
safer play surfaces

school needed to close. Others ques-
tioned who could trust the school board.
Brightly colored handmade posters from
children simply asked that their school
be saved. A petition with more than 900
signatures against school closure was
presented. The outrage also came over
the timing. Last week the board met and
only one possible school was on the
chopping block, Crestmoor.
That changed Friday night when
Superintendent David Hutt released a
report recommending two schools be
closed in the succeeding school year if
the district faces a budget decit of
$250,000 or more in October or the
neighborhood enrollment drops by 30 or
more students at any of the elementary
schools compared to current enrollment.
Two speakers noted moving sixth
graders to Parkside this fall will result in
all schools losing more than 30 students.
Ten-year-old Nikki Castro from El
Crystal School said with the possible
school closure youre not just breaking
up a school, youre breaking up a fami-
ly.
Parents and teachers stood up ques-
tioning the proposal, questioning the
ethics of the timing of the recommenda-
tion and asking that the school closure
conversation be tabled until other
options can be examined.
Seanna Vail, a third grade teacher at El
Crystal, said releasing the recommenda-
tion on a Friday night was not respectful.
In addition, previously a teacher of split
grade classes, Vail questioned if teachers
had been contacted to discuss the chal-
lenges about such an arrangement. A
loud "no" came from the audience.
Vail simply asked the district to be
open to other, creative options.
Crestmoor parent Jessica Beane
described the recommendation as hastily
put together. In addition, she felt it spoke
volumes about the lack of vision, direc-
tion and support the district has for the
schools. While she acknowledged school
closure is sometimes needed, she also
said the strong opposition wouldnt ll
the room if the community had worked
together to examine all options. She
urged the board to throw out the recom-
mendation and instead work in a collab-
orative effort to nd solutions.
Many speakers called for solutions
like working with the city, considering a
parcel tax and nding corporate partners
for various projects. Hutt was a target for
a number of speakers who said hes sim-
ply an advisor to the board, one which
may need to be replaced.
Wednesday was the second meeting
with the board on the topic. Last week,
the district board was presented with the
report from the committee charged with
making a recommendation about which
district school to close. While the report
said there were no overwhelming rea-
sons to close a school, the committee
suggested combining two schools if the
board were to move forward.
Since it was just a presentation, the
board did not make any comments but
did allow public comments. The com-
mittees report said if a school should be
closed, transferring Crestmoor
Elementary School students to either
Rollingwood or Portola elementary
schools would be the least disruptive
option.
Starting this fall, San Bruno students
will attend elementary school through
fifth grade and start at Parkside
Intermediate in sixth grade. Changing
which school serves sixth grade will
shift about 280 students from the ele-
mentary schools. In addition, the district
has seen an overall drop in enrollment.
Combining those enrollment changes
with the possibility of additional cuts
from the state, the district needs to plan
for the worst-case scenario closing a
school, Hutt said.
As a district, San Bruno has previous-
ly tackled the possibility of closing a
school during the 2006-07 school year
due to a drop in enrollment. An uptick
for the following school year caused the
district to drop the talks.
Declining enrollment forced the clo-
sure of two schools in the 1970s. Carl
Sandburg Elementary was closed in
1978 and was sold for $30.5 million in
2006. The district leases 20 acres for a
driving range on what was once Engvall
Middle School at Interstate 280 and
Sneath Lane to VB Golf Inc.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your inability to properly
evaluate information that is essential to your plans
could be due to not having all the necessary informa-
tion at your disposal. Dont try to make a call without
all the facts.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Disappointment is likely
if you build your expectations upon questionable
premises. Its good to be optimistic, but only if youre
also in touch with reality.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you want others to
accept you and treat you nicely, you must frst reach
out to them. Keep being warm and friendly, even
when you get the cold shoulder. Eventually theyll
come around.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The only person you have
to genuinely please is you. If you think youve done
your best to be warm and giving, you dont need any
additional applause.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Be careful not to commit
any selfsh acts or act indifferently to someone who
is nice to you. If you do so, it will be quite a while
before you can look at yourself in the mirror again.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Be observant, because
someone you recently met might not be everything
that he or she pretends to be. When this person has
to perform under pressure, this will become apparent
to you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Should a friend come
to you for advice, instead of telling your pal what you
think she or he wants to hear, tell the truth. Be kind
about it, and youll do a world of good.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Your ability to
recognize a real bargain might not be operating very
well. If something is expensive, sleep on it for a while
before committing a sizable chunk of change.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Something might
arise that could force you to choose between feath-
ering your own nest or helping out a friend, partner
or loved one. You cant have your cake and eat it too.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Be extremely selec-
tive of your choice of companions, because what
they do will refect on you for either good or ill. Dont
gain a bad reputation based on your friends.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You could fnd yourself
involved in a social event where everybody but
you knows one another, leaving you feeling like an
outsider. If you can, take a friend along.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your personal ambitions
and your abilities might not complement one another.
Its OK to want certain things but only if you have the
ability to get what you desire.
