Citing lack of quality school
options in the Redwood City
Elementary School District,
Rocketship Education and KIPP
Bay Area Schools want to bring
branches of their charter schools
to Redwood City, while some
teachers say there should be more
concern on xing schools already
in place.
Acrowd of about 300 packed the
Fair Oaks Community Center
Tuesday night to hear Rocketship
Education and KIPP Bay Area
Schools, in partnership with
Innovate Public Schools Parents
of Redwood City, discuss charter
petitions for two new schools
theyll submit to the district in the
coming weeks. KIPPs will come
in April and its organizers hope to
open charters by the 2015-16
school year.
The charters cite a recent
Broken Promises: The Children
Left Behind in Silicon Valley
report by Innovate Public
Schools, that two of the lowest
scoring elementary schools for
English language learners and
Latino students across San Mateo
and Santa Clara counties are in the
district. The Academic

to as a critical benchmark for
California schools, was 663 for
Garfield Elementary School and
662 for John Gill Elementary

Morris Manji stands in front of sign the California Lottery gave him after selling a winning $1.9 million ticket
Suspect
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Alocal won $1.9 million of the
Mega Millions lottery jackpot at a
San Bruno liquor store, California
Lottery ofcials said Wednesday.
The lucky ticket was sold Sunday
night at Huntington Liquor, locat-
ed at 763 Huntington Ave. in San
Bruno, to a regular customer, the
store owner Morris Manji, 41,
believes.
The owner of the ticket, who
Manji believes is a taxi cab driver,
matched ve of six numbers in
Tuesday nights Mega Millions
draw and is due to receive a check
for $1.9 million. The winning
numbers were 11, 19, 24, 33 and
51. The ticket buyer turned in the
winning ticket Wednesday morn-
ing in the South San Francisco
California Lottery ofce, he said.
Lottery ofcials conrmed some-
one turned in a ticket, but are still
verifying it.
Lottery ofcials said Manji will
also cash in with a $10,000 pay-
ment for selling the ticket. Hes
not sure what hell do with the
extra cash yet, but says this is the
perfect timing for the win since
its a free advertisement for his
store which has had trouble with
business because of the San Bruno
grade separation project right out-
side his store.
I was very surprised, said
Manji, whos owned the store for
three and a half years. I found out
at 4 a.m. I saw a text from an
employee.
The grade separation project is
wrapping up and Caltrain passen-
gers will soon have access to the
new grade-separated San Bruno
station, while customers will have
easier access to Manjis store. The
elevated station will be open to
the public beginning April 1.

Mattress used to break
toddlers fall in Burbank
BURBANK A3-year-old boy who
fell out of a third-story window in
Burbank was saved by a quick-acting
couple who threw a mattress out to
break his fall.
KABC-TV reports Konrad Lightner
and his wife, Jennifer, were moving out
of their apartment Sunday when they
noticed the toddler and his sister throw-
ing their toys out the window.
When they saw the little boy throw
his leg over the window sill, Konrad
rushed to put the mattress down. He was
able to break the childs fall, placing
him onto the mattress.
The toddler was taken to a local hos-
pital for evaluation, but he did not suf-
fer any major injuries.
A neighbor rushed to get the boys
parents, who were unaware of what hap-
pened but grateful for the rescue.
Sacramento wants
cabbies to clean up their act
SACRAMENTO Saying taxi driv-
ers are ambassadors for the city,
Sacramento officials are proposing
sweeping new rules to force cabbies to
clean up their act.
The Sacramento Bee says the pro-
posed ordinance approved Tuesday by a
City Council committee would require
drivers to wear collared shirts, slacks
and closed-toe shoes. They must drive
newer vehicles and keep them cleaner.
They must accept credit cards. And they
will be required to take a test to prove
they can speak some English and count
change correctly.
The proposal has drawn support from
Yellow Cab and other large taxi opera-
tors, as well as from hotels and down-
town convention executives.
But some rms dont like the pro-
posed rules, saying they could drive
smaller operators out of business.
The full council is expected to take up
the issue within the next two months.
Three teens
accused of kidnap plan
MARYSVILLE Three Northern
California teens who attempted to kid-
nap another teen planned to sexually
assault him as part of a plan to break up
his relationship with a girl, authorities
said.
The three suspects Frank Oddo,
16, and Jacob Cadena and Jessy
Murray, both 17 pleaded not
guilty on Monday to felony charges
of kidnapping, kidnapping to com-
mit extortion and kidnapping with
the intent of sexual assault, the
Appeal-Democrat of Marysville
reported. They have been charged as
adults.
This was a carefully formulated plan
... and it wasnt just talk, Yuba County
District Attorney Patrick McGrath said.
The defendants set up a fake
Facebook page then lured the victim on
Saturday under the pretext of a marijua-
na transaction to a site in Marysville,
where they forced him into an SUV
using an Airsoft pistol, according to
sheriffs ofcials.
The victims aunt showed up and
spotted the suspects in bandanas kid-
napping her nephew, Undersheriff Jerry
Read told the Appeal-Democrat.
Scrap dealers bargain
turns out to be Faberge egg
LONDON There is good luck, out-
rageous good fortune and now there
is the case of the scrap metal dealer who
found one of the eight missing Faberge
imperial eggs at a ea market in the
American Midwest.
A London antique dealer said
Wednesday that that the scrap metal
entrepreneur bought the egg for about
$14,000, thinking he could make a
small prot by reselling the piece for
its gold content.
It turned out the jewel-encrusted piece
was worth millions.
Kieran McCarthy of Wartski, which
specializes in Russian artifacts, said
the scrap metal dealer began to suspect
he was holding a rare piece after seeing
an article online about an imperial
Faberge Easter egg made for Russian
royalty. The dealer contacted
McCarthy, who veried the egg as gen-
uine and negotiated its sale to a collec-
tor.

The San Francisco woman discovered in a
San Francisco International Airport food
court despite being banned for trying to
sneak on Hawaii-bound planes told authori-
ties she feel safer at the airport than at
home.
Marilyn Jean Hartman, who is now facing
trespassing and court order violation
charges, didnt plan to try boarding another
plane Tuesday morning but prefers being at
the airport than her Third Street home in San
Francisco, said District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe.
For now, Hartman, 62, is out of custody
on her own recognizance after rst being
arrested on $7,500 bail.
On Wednesday, Hartman pleaded not
guilty to the new charges which come less
than a month since she received time served
for two misdemeanor burglary charges and
the airport ban for trying to board ights on
Feb. 15, 18 and 20. The rst time she got
onboard but was discovered when the actual
ticket holder arrived at the seat. The next
two times, including once when she used a
discarded boarding pass, she was stopped at
the security gate. After her arrest following
the third attempt to sneak through security,
Hartman reportedly told
authorities she has cancer
and wanted to go some-
where warm.
On March 18, a
Transportation Security
Administration manager
recognized Hartman in a
food court beyond the
security checkpoint and
she acknowledged who
she was and that she was-
nt supposed to be there, said District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
She also reportedly had her probation
paperwork in her purse.
She did not have a boarding pass in her
name or adequate funds to purchase a ticket,
according to the Sheriffs Ofce.
Hartman is prohibited from SFO unless
she is legally ticketed to y.
After entering her plea yesterday, Hartman
was scheduled for a jury trial Aug. 4. Her
release did not include an order banning her
from SFO although that prohibition
remains from the earlier case, Wagstaffe
said.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Aconvicted sex offender originally facing
life in prison for ashing a mother and child
at a Christmas tree lot and, while out on bail
four months later, reportedly harassing sev-
eral San Bruno children, was sentenced
Wednesday to nearly seven years in prison.
Allan Wayne Meaney, 68, pleaded no con-
test on the second day of his jury trial to
felony charges of indecent exposure and
child annoyance, both with the allegations
he has prior convictions. In return, he faced
up to eight years and eight months in prison
but yesterday received two years less than
the maximum. He has credit of 756 days
against his term earned while in custody on
$1 million bail.
The sentence is a good outcome, said
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Had Meaney stood trial and been convict-
ed as a third striker, he was looking at pos-
sibly 25 years to life in prison.
In the rst case, a woman reported spot-
ting Meaney grabbing himself through an
open zipper Dec. 1, 2012, at a Colma
Christmas tree lot where she was shopping
with her 6-year-old daughter. The woman
screamed, Meaney ran and reportedly
crashed his car while ee-
ing. He posted bail and
was free in April 2013
when a father called San
Bruno police to report
him lingering near chil-
dren playing soccer.
When the father of one
child questioned Meaney
about his presence, he
reportedly said he was
looking for somebody named Jim and
continued returning to the location each
time he was told to leave. The last time, he
reportedly agged down a 9-year-old girl in
a school uniform whom was asked four to
ve times if she had a boyfriend, according
to the District Attorneys Ofce.
Meaney has several prior convictions for
sexual abuse against children and was once
detained at a state facility as a mentally dis-
ordered sex offender, a label that has since
been replaced by the term sexually violent
predator.
Prior to trial, Meaneys defense attorney
questioned his ability to stand trial but a
majority of court-appointed doctors deemed
him competent. Meaney remains in custody
on $1 million bail.

International Airport berated and assaulted
ofcers, demanded to be taken to jail and
asked them for cocaine and marijuana before

On Tuesday, Monica Marie Jenkins, 37,
was determined by airline staff to be too
intoxicated to board a plane to Los Angeles
but refused to accept any offered solutions
like sobering up and waiting for a later

sang 1, 2 ,3, 4, 5 oclock rock, Wagstaffe
said.
She tried to kick one ofcer, used profani-
ties and after briefly
thanking them inside the
patrol car for saving her
expensive purse demand-
ed give me some
cocaine, Wagstaffe said.
She also threatened
Im going to beat your

me something to sip on, Wagstaffe read
from the report.
Jenkins was booked into the womens jail
where she reported tried biting a nurse.

Bay Meadows will soon become
home to another 76 families, as
several units of the sites third res-
idential community Canterbury
will be put on the market this
weekend.
The development of the old race
tracks remaining 83 acres between
the Hillsdale and Hayward Park
Caltrain stations are currently in
Phase II as Bay Meadows becomes
one of the largest transit-oriented
developments in the state. The
entire 160-plus-acre site is slated
for 1,170 housing units, retail and
office space, the Nueva private
school and 18 acres of parks, said
Janice Thacher, partner at the main
developer Wilson Meany.
The new for-sale Canterbury
townhomes are being developed by
TRI Pointe Homes, which also
developed the nearly sold-out
Amelia at Bay Meadows. The two-
to four-bedroom three-story homes
ranging from 1,250 to 2,235
square feet are expected to start at
$850,000 but pricing for the larger
units will be in the $1 million
mark, said Carrie Newbery, vice
president of sales and marketing at
TRI Pointe Homes.
This Saturday and Sunday, seven
two- and three-bedroom condos
will go on the market and priority
list buyers who pre-qualied will
have the opportunity to purchase
their new home, Newbery said. The
model homes arent complete so
the public will only be able to view
oor plans, renderings and hope-
fully a virtual walkthrough. The
eligible buyers may be able to get a
sneak peak walkthrough of a
models frame and its not unusual
for people to buy based on oor
plans, Newbery said.
The Canterbury models will be
completed at the end of May and
those who purchase this weekend
will be able to move in some time
in August, Newbery said.
TRI Homes is thrilled to be a part
of the project and to be creating a
new community thats geared
toward eco-friendly lifestyles in
the heart of the Peninsula, Newbery
said.
It is a very pedestrian friendly
community. Bay Meadows is huge,
so we get to be one of the lucky
neighborhoods in Bay Meadows.
Its very convenient to Caltrain,
convenient to the airports, to the
freeways, to downtown San Mateo
that has a ton of restaurants and
entertainment, Newbery said. Its
just a great place to be. Everything
is pretty close so you dont need a
car, theyre really going for sus-
tainability and living green.
There will be a total of seven
neighborhood developments as
well as another six four- and ve-
story buildings of condominiums
and apartments, Thacher said. The
Canterbury homes will cover
almost 4 acres and come after the
completion of 63 units at TRI
Pointe Homes Amelia and another
93 units at Landsdowne by the
developer Shea Homes. Wilson
Meany is currently constructing its
own apartment building known as
Field House, Thacher said.
The new Bay Meadows commu-
nities also have a historical con-
nection, Thacher said
The names for the neighbor-
hoods were inspired by the former
uses of the site. So they are either
related to the sites history of the
horse track, or prior to the horse
track it was actually an aireld. So
for example, Amelia was inspired
by Amelia Earhart, Thacher said.
By the time the Bay Meadows
project is completed sometime in
2017 or 2018, she will have
worked on the project for almost a
decade, Thacher said.
Its really gratifying to go down
there and see people living there.
And its really turned out to really
be what we envisioned when we
planned this community. And the
city of San Mateo has been a fan-
tastic city to work with. So we
have a very close relationship with
city staff and elected ofcials. So
thats really been a part of making
this all happen, Thacher said.
The preview of Canterbury town
homes will be Saturday at the Bay
Meadows Welcome Center and
seven units will go on the market
starting 10 a.m. Sunday, Newbery
said.
Those who will be considered
have already pre-qualied and are
on an interested parties list,
Newbery said. Those interested in
moving to Canterbury should sign
up on TRI Pointe Homes interest
list.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A second-striker accused of
stealing a package from a delivery
truck in San Mateo wrapped up
that case along with two other
felony burglaries with a sentence
Tuesday of six years and eight
months.
The term imposed by Judge
Jonathan Karesh is what prosecu-
tors sought for Shane Milbourn,
36, of San Bruno, who pleaded no
contest last month to possession
of methamphetamine and stolen
property in the Nov. 13 robbery.
The plea deal also settled his two
other pending felony cases for car
burglary and commercial burglary.
San Mateo police arrested
Milbourn after responding to the
1200 block of Dore Avenue where
a delivery truck driver reported
confronting a man burglarizing
his truck. Police found Milbourn
nearby and took him into custody
after a short chase. He was report-
edly under the inuence of drugs.
He has been in custody on
$100,000 bail and earned 133
days against his prison term. He
must also pay restitution of
$10,089.74.

Feinstein on Wednesday joined

e x p r e s s i n g
s k e p t i c i s m
about legaliz-
ing marijuana
in California
for recreational
purposes.
The states
senior senator
told the
Associated Press in a telephone
interview that one of her concerns
is the potential for pot-impaired
drivers to take to the road.
Feinstein said she hopes
California declines to join
Colorado and Washington in
approving the sale of marijuana
for recreational use.
The risk of people using mari-
juana and driving is very substan-
tial, she said.
As a possible example, the
California Highway Patrol is
investigating a fatal weekend col-
lision in Santa Rosa as being
related to marijuana use. Awoman
and her daughter-in-law were
killed when a Toyota Camry in
which they were riding was rear-
ended by a pickup truck. Aprelim-
inary CHP investigation deter-
mined that the 30-year-old man
driving the pickup was impaired
by marijuana and reading a text
message on his cellphone at the
time of the collision.

California hosts
congressional
drought hearing
By Scott Smith
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FRESNO Farmers holding signs protesting dramatic
cuts to their irrigation supplies packed Fresno City Hall for
a congressional hearing Wednesday, delving into the poli-
tics of Californias drought crisis striking the states agri-
cultural heartland.
Visalia farmer Michael Malmgrens sign had the words
Water is the heart of the matter, surrounding a big, pink
heart.
The House Natural Resources Committees hearing on
Californias drought and the need for xes began with state-
ments from eight members of Congress followed by testi-
mony from Central Valley farmers, community leaders and
state ofcials.
Republicans dominated the spirited session. They blamed
the shortage of water for farming on environmentalists bent
on protecting endangered sh, such as the Delta smelt, a
lack of action from Democrats in the U.S. Senate and what
they called a misguided focus on Californias high-speed
rail or global warming.
Everybodys attention should be on building more water
storage in wet years, they said in the hearing lasting more
than two hours and attended by more than 250 people.

Almost half of Americans ages 40 to
75 and nearly all men over 60 qualify to
consider cholesterol-lowering statin
drugs under new heart disease preven-
tion guidelines, an analysis concludes.
Its the rst independent look at the
impact of the guidelines issued in
November and shows how dramatically
they shift more people toward treat-
ment. Supporters say they reveal the
true scope of heart risks in America.
Critics have said the guidelines over-
reach by suggesting medications such
as Zocor and Lipitor for such a broad
swath of the population.
We wanted to be really objective and
just quantify what the guidelines do,
and not get into a discussion about
whether they are correct, said Michael
Pencina, the Duke University biosta-
tistician who led the analysis. It was
published online Wednesday by the
New England Journal of Medicine.
Under the new guidelines, 56 million
Americans ages 40 to 75 are eligible to
consider a statin; 43 million were under
the old advice. Both numbers include
25 million people taking statins now.
That is striking ... eye-opening,
Dr. Daniel Rader of the University of
Pennsylvania said of the new estimate.
But since too few people use statins
now, the advice has the potential to do
much more good than harm, said
Rader, a cardiologist who had no role in
writing the guidelines.
Nearly half a million additional heart
attacks and strokes could be prevented
over 10 years if statin use was expand-
ed as the guidelines recommend, the
study estimates.
The guidelines, developed by the
American Heart Association and
American College of Cardiology at the
request of the federal government, were
a big change. They give a new formula
for estimating risk that includes blood
pressure, smoking status and many fac-
tors besides the level of LDL or bad
cholesterol, the main focus in the past.
For the rst time, the guidelines are
personalized for men and women and
blacks and whites, and they take aim at
strokes, not just heart attacks. Partly
because of that, they set a lower thresh-
old for using statins to reduce risk.

HOUSTON Texas has obtained a
new batch of the drugs it uses to exe-
cute death row inmates, allowing the
state to continue carrying out death
sentences once its existing supply
expires at the end of the month.
But correction ofcials will not say
where they bought the drugs, arguing
that information must be kept secret to
protect the safety of its new supplier.
In interviews with the Associated
Press, officials with the Texas
Department of Criminal Justice also
refused to say whether providing
anonymity to its new supplier of the
sedative pentobarbital was a condition
of its purchase.
The decision to keep details about
the drugs and their source secret puts
the agency at odds with past rulings of
the state attorney generals office,
which has said the states open records
law requires the agency to disclose
specics about the drugs it uses to
carry out lethal injections.
We are not disclosing the identity
of the pharmacy because of previous,
specific threats of serious physical
harm made against businesses and
their employees that have provided
drugs used in the lethal injection
process, said Texas Department of
Criminal Justice spokesman Jason
Clark.
The dispute in the state that executes
more inmates than any other comes as
major drugmakers, many based in
Europe, have stopped selling pento-
barbital and other substances used in
lethal injections to U.S. corrections
agencies because they oppose the
death penalty.
Rand Paul criticizes Obama, others over spying
BERKELEY Sen. Rand Paul assailed President Barack
Obama and other government leaders over recent surveil-
lance disclosures and called for a
Congressional investigation of possible
spying abuses during a brief speech
before cheering students at the
University of California, Berkeley.
The Republican senator from Kentucky
on Wednesday used his platform at the
historically liberal campus to chide the
nations first African American presi-
dent for allowing the alleged spying
abuses to occur with no compunction,
even though Martin Luther King Jr. and other black heroes
were once targets of illegal government surveillance.

MALICIOUS PILOT ACTION
Investigators are looking at the histories of
Capt. Zaharie Ahmad Shah, 53, who has been
ying for Malaysia Airlines since 1981 and co-
pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid, 27, who just started
ying a 777. Zaharie had built his own ight
simulator at home, unusual but not out of
the norm. Many aviation enthusiasts have
similar setups; one Los Angeles flight
attendant recreated a Pan Am rst class cabin
in his garage. Investigators are now trying to
restore les deleted from that simulator.
Why suspect the pilots? The planes
transponder stopped signaling its location
to air-trafc controllers and other planes at
the perfect moment: the handoff from
Malaysias controllers to those in Vietnam. In
the nal radio contact from the plane, the co-
pilot told Malaysian controllers All right, good
night. Vietnamese controllers were never
contacted and the transponder shut off.The
plane abruptly turned and then kept ying
for up to seven hours.
The way several key communication and
tracking devices in the cockpit were disabled
at different times also places suspicion
on the pilots.
The idea of pilots using a plane to commit
suicide and mass murder is scary, taboo
within the industry but not unprecedented.
A SilkAir crash in 1997 and an EgyptAir crash
in 1999 are both believed to have been the
result of deliberate actions by pilots.
TERRORIST HIJACKING
This theory was prominent early on after it
was discovered that two Iranians on board
one 18, the other 28 were traveling on
stolen passports. Investigators havent found
anything linking either to terror groups; it is
believed they were trying to illegally
immigrate to Europe.
Ever since 9/11, its much harder for an
unauthorized person to enter the cockpit.
Cockpit doors have been reinforced and
procedures have been put in place to ensure
nobody gains entry when a pilot exits. And
passengers and crew have shown a
willingness to confront anyone trying to take
over or damage a plane.
Could someone have been allowed into the
cockpit? Its against protocol, but does
happen. Back in 2011, Flight 370s co-pilot
and another pilot invited two women
boarding their aircraft to sit in the cockpit for
an international ight. During the journey,
the pilots smoked and flirted, one of the
women said this month.
Still, no credible group has taken credit for
the disappearance and intelligence agencies
say they havent noticed any chatter in
terrorist circles regarding the jet.
SUDDEN CATASTROPHE
Aviation experts initially suspected that
something sudden and horric happened.
Perhaps a bomb on board, or some type of
failure with the engines or airframe. But if
that were the case, debris would have been
found in the spot where the transponder
went off. Also, the Boeing 777 has just one
fatal crash in its 19-year history last years
Asiana Airlines crash in San Francisco. If there
was a sudden breakup, pieces of the plane
would have been visible on radar.
FIRE
An electrical fire, or perhaps a fire from
hazardous cargo, could have knocked out
communications equipment and prevented
crewmembers and passengers from calling
for help. Some people have speculated that
smoke incapacitated the pilots. Its possible,
but ight attendants and passengers would
have had time to try to enter the cockpit and
take control of the plane.
DECOMPRESSION
A slow or sudden decompression, causing a
loss of oxygen, could have killed everyone
on board. If oxygen levels dropped, a loud,
automated warning would have alerted the
pilots to put on their oxygen masks and
immediately descend below 10,000 feet,
where there is enough oxygen to breathe
without aid.
If the plane depressurized and killed its
occupants, which happened on golfer Payne
Stewarts business jet in 1999, that would
explain the silence from crew and
passengers. But aviation experts say in that
case, the plane should have kept flying
automatically toward Beijing and been visible
on radar.
HIDDEN PLANE
Its possible that somebody landed the plane
at some remote airport and is hiding it from
the world. Maybe they want to hold the
passengers hostage, although nobody has
taken responsibility or demanded a ransom.
Maybe there was something of value in the
cargo hold and this was the worlds most
elaborate robbery. Maybe terrorists have the
plane and plan to load it with jet fuel and
explosives and use it as a missile in the future.
Those scenarios all have holes. A very skilled
pilot would have to land the plane at a small
airport that normally doesnt accommodate
777s.They might have had to land in the dark,
without normal navigation aids to assist. And
they would have to dodge several nations
radar systems, though some have suggested
that it stealthily ew in another jets shadow.
Yet its hard to rule out anything. It took
Thailands government 10 days to
acknowledge that it spotted what might
have been Flight 370 on its radar.
Governments arent necessarily open to
sharing all their information, especially when
it comes to their military radar capabilities.
But why go to all the trouble of stealing a
commercial jet? A cargo plane would be
easier to steal.
ACCIDENTAL SHOOT-DOWN
Civilian aircraft have been unintentionally
shot down by a countrys military. In July
1988, the United States Navy missile cruiser
USS Vincennes accidently shot down an Iran
Air ight, killing all 290 passengers and crew.
In September 1983, a Korean Air Lines ight
was shot down by a Russian ghter jet.There
is no evidence that Flight 370 was brought
down by a government entity.
Seven theories on disappearance
By Ian Mader
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia
The FBI joined forces with
Malaysian authorities in analyz-
ing deleted data on a ight simula-
tor belonging to the pilot of the
missing Malaysia Airlines plane,
while distraught relatives of the
passengers unleashed their anger
wailing in frustration at 12 days
of uncertainty.
The anguish of relatives of the
239 people on Flight 370 boiled
over Wednesday at a brieng near
Kuala Lumpurs airport. Two
Chinese women who shouted at
Malaysian authorities and unfurled
a banner accusing ofcials of hid-
ing the truth were removed from
the room. In a heart-wrenching
scene, one woman screamed in
sorrow as she was dragged away.
I want you to help me to nd
my son! I want to see my son!
one of the two unidentied women
said. We have been here for 10
days.
Files containing records of
flight simulations were deleted
Feb. 3 from the device found in the
home of the Malaysia Airlines
pilot, Capt. Zaharie Ahmad Shah,
Malaysian police chief Khalid Abu
said.
It was not immediately clear
whether investigators thought
that deleting the les was unusual.
The files might hold signs of
unusual flight paths that could
help explain where the missing
plane went. Then again, the les
could have been deleted simply to
clear memory for other material.
Defense Minister Hishammuddin
Hussein told a news conference
that Zaharie is considered inno-
cent until proven guilty. He said
members of the pilots family are
cooperating in the investigation.

Surrendering to Russias inex-

announced plans Wednesday for
mass troop withdrawals from the
strategic peninsula as Moscow-
loyal forces seized control of
Kievs naval headquarters here and
detained its commander.
Attempting to face down the
unblinking incursion, Ukraine
said it would hold joint military
exercises with the United States
and Britain.
Hours after masked Russian-
speaking troops forced their way
onto Ukraines main naval base
here, forlorn Ukrainian soldiers
streamed out carrying clothing and
other belongings in bags. Agroup
of local militia and Cossacks, later
joined by ofcers from Russias
Black Sea Fleet, looked on.
Just how many retreating troops
Ukraine will have to absorb in
what amounts to a military surren-
der of Crimea was unclear. Many
servicemen have already switched
sides to Russia, but authorities said
they were prepared to relocate as
many as 25,000 soldiers and their
families to the Ukrainian main-
land.

Letters to the editor
Chico Enterprise-Record
B
aby salmon might get a ride down
to the ocean this spring. Were
not sure who would be more con-
fused by that them or us.
The salmon ngerlings will be stumped
because, well, thats not how its supposed
to work. The recently hatched sh imprint
on the stream where they are born and get
swept downriver by high spring ows, end-
ing up down in the ocean. They return to
the place where they are born three or four
years later, spawn and die. If the salmon are
born in the hatchery, thats where they
return almost all of the time.
Theres a concern that trucking the sh
down to San Francisco Bay will confuse
natures process, but shery managers say
theyre considering that option for mil-
lions of little sh. Otherwise, low river
ows could mean the juvenile salmon never
make it out into the ocean theyll either
get hung up in fresh water, or theyll be
easy prey in the placid water for predators
like striped bass and pike minnow to gorge
on a salmon feast.
State and federal shery managers say the
limo ride OK, its more like a tanker
truck than a limo would cost a lot of
money, but the young salmon are worth it.
And thats where we get confused. We
hear entirely too often from other sheries
people that hatchery salmon are expend-
able. Some scientists, groups, biologists
and even judges say hatcheries should be
all but eliminated because hatcheries create
dumb, genetically stunted salmon. Theyd
prefer a river with only wild salmon.
So would we. But the fact is, once the
state and federal government started build-
ing dams in the last century and cutting off
salmon spawning grounds, the hatcheries
became an articial substitute for the now-
impossible real thing a place for salmon
to go and perpetuate the species before
dying.
We are stuck with hatcheries, but hatch-
ery sh are certainly better than the option
of barren rivers.
Thats why the idea of trucking baby
salmon from hatcheries on the Feather
River in Oroville and Battle Creek near
Anderson down to San Francisco Bay
makes a lot of sense in an extremely low-
water year. Its hard enough for the young
sh to make it to the ocean even in a nor-
mal water year. They need every advantage
they can get.
But, as sheries managers know, they
need to be smart about it too. Years ago, in
an attempt to improve return rates for adult
sh, young salmon were trucked down to
the San Francisco Bay to give them a head
start out to the ocean. Fish that were
trucked down and released would be shocked
by the change in water temperature and
clarity. Some would die or get eaten.
Fisheries managers then tried cages or
barges in the delta waters to help the young
sh get acclimated. But predators caught
on. When the young salmon were released,
hungry predators sh, birds, otters
were hanging out near the cage, waiting
eagerly for feeding time. It was a massacre.
That and the expense are the reasons the
state stopped doing it.
This may be a good time to start doing it
again, at least for one season, until river
ows return to normal. Nobody should
complain about the cost, and heres why: If
salmon populations dwindle because of the
drought, an endangered sh population
would result in more water restrictions for
farmers and cities. We all have an interest
in doing whatever we can for the salmon to
get through this drought.
Congrats, Aragon basketball team!
Editor,
Heres a big thank you! to the Aragon
Dons boys varsity basketball team for
playing such an exciting, adrenaline-fueled
game against the Vanden Vikings. From the
tip off, the tempo of the game was more
NBAthan NorCal. Although the Vikings
kept the game close and eventually won, it
was great fun to watch the CCS division III
champion Dons battle their determined
opponents using their bench players as
well as their starters. Seeing the Dons per-
form so well said much about how they
were coached and how they embody the
sportsmanship ethic. For the seniors, I
wish you the best of luck in your future
endeavors. For the underclassmen, your
fans are already looking forward to seeing
you play again next season. All in all, the
2014 Dons are a team full of winners that
played with distinction and who brought
pride to former alums (like myself), their
coach and school.

Condos at Taxis: Part 2
Editor,
In reference to Condos at Taxis, letter
in the March 17 issue of The Daily Journal,
I see that the city has to keep building for
various reasons ... uncontrollable immi-
gration being one. But the main reason is
raising money without the new fees.
Permits and taxes generated by these devel-
opments would not allow enough to pay
the bloated salary, benets and pensions of
the of the civil servants of this ne
city/county.
Basically, you have the foxes (city gov-
ernment) in charge of the henhouse (our
city/community). It would be interesting to
let the community have a vote on any
future projects over eight units. That way
the residents would have a say in the quali-
ty of life issues (trafc being the main one)
that have so drastically changed our city.

Tech buses
Editor,
Recently, there has been a rather heated
discussion concerning commuter shuttles
or tech buses. Whatever problems might be
associated with tech buses, their benet s
far exceed any negative impact.
Without tech buses, thousands of workers
would be forced to use alternative trans-
portation modes to and from the Silicon
Valley driving and Caltrain are the most
likely options. Caltrain is already at capac-
ity during rush hour and our Peninsula
highways are congested and often grid-
locked during the commute neither can
handle the added strain should tech buses be
reduced or curtailed.
Fewer tech buses on the road impact
everybody with increased trafc congestion
and reduced air quality. Tech buses provide a
good transportation alternative and we all
benet from their existence.

Thank you
Editor,
Thank you for publishing the Daily
Journal. You guys are great. I like every-
thing, and I especially appreciate your sus-
tained and detailed coverage of races for
elected ofces throughout San Mateo
County, bond issuances, etc.
You are a great resource and, as far as I
can tell, an important part of the fabric of
the area. But as I say, not only for the elec-
tion and governance coverage. Thats sim-
ply one thing I mention. And who can
resist Know It All? Thanks for everything
you and your staff do.

Sense of timing
S
pring has sprung which brings to
mind that age-old annual question:
How many people actually think
daylight saving time means we gained an
hour?
Or did we lose
an hour? I can
never remember
although I imag-
ine its all a matter
of perspective. In
the morning hours
that once had the
tinge of sunlight
but now remain
dark, the sense is
that we certainly
lost some pre-
cious morning
hours. The inter-
nal clock has yet to reset itself which means
the external digital numbers glaring at my
uttering eyelids each workday morning are
at least an hour past where they should be.
On the other hand, leaving work on a
good day when there is still a bit of day-
light out feels like the world has gained
some time. The daylight time jump forward
coupled with that Earth year rotation moving
us into spring ofcially starting Thursday
makes the days seems longer, as though
theres opportunity for a little fun and mis-
chief beyond the rote wake-up, go to work,
go home, go to bed routine. Walking the dog
after work. Stopping at the store for those
last-minute groceries. Lingering longer past
happy hour. All are more palatable when the
day doesnt feel quite so late.
That hour might be more lost than a
Malaysian airliner and cause more morning
chaos and tardiness than usual but all seems
worth it when compared to the benets: for-
going the extra sweater or coat in the
evening, not needing to immediately ip on
the car lights before driving, having the
dashboard clock actually display the real
numbers instead of the hour-off gures from
the past autumn when standard time took
over.
Those states that refuse to play the day-
light saving time game can go stuff it.
Maybe theyre fans of consistency but I
favor the twice-yearly present that makes
silly folks like myself feel like we gained
something even if we know it to be com-
pletely untrue. Ignorance is bliss; lies we
tell ourselves, even better.
The other question raised by daylight sav-
ing time will undoubtedly never be answered:
who in the world taught my dogs to tell
time? The furry guys have no watch, no
smartphone and not even an opposable
thumb to tick off the hours but somehow
dare I say, like clockwork know what time
to whimper for their morning trip outside
and, more importantly, when to eat.
God forbid 8 a.m. or 5 p.m. hits while Im
home and I havent yet lled up the food
dishes with their daily allotment of brown
and orange kibble. Riley is the worst. Or
maybe best is a better description since he
knows the time. In any case, if Im nose
deep in a project or have my attention
diverted elsewhere, the Jack Russell terrier
mix will either jump in my lap as if to say
Hey, look at me or sit quietly and give me
a stare that could freeze a person at 50 paces.
What do you want? I used to ask in his
early days.
Now, I just look down at my phone or up
at the wall. Clockwork, I said.
So if these animals have nothing to go on
but some internal gauge, how in the world
did they know less than two weeks ago to
adjust it? And why are they faring better at
this daylight saving time shift than their
human companion?
Eventually, my internal timepiece and that
on my nightstand will match up. But in the
meantime, I will rely on the dogs, the alarm
clock, heavy doses of coffee and a knowing-
ly misguided belief that Im recouping that
extra hour. No pain, no gain.

NEWYORK Higher interest rates
are coming. And they are coming
sooner than you think.
Thats the message investors took
away from the Federal Reserve on
Wednesday. In response, they sent
stocks and gold prices lower and bond
yields sharply higher.
The Dow Jones industrial average
lost 114.02 points, or 0.7 percent, to
16,222.17. The Dow fell as much as
209 points before erasing some of its
loss.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
dropped 11.48 points, or 0.6 percent,
to 1,860.77 and the Nasdaq composite
lost 25.71 points, or 0.6 percent, to
4,307.60.
The Fed voted to cut its monthly
bond purchases from $65 billion to
$55 billion, in line with what ana-
lysts were expecting. Despite severe
winter weather in January and
February, the Fed said economy had
recovered enough for it to continue
reducing the bond buys, which are
aimed at keeping long-term interest
rates low.
The Federal Reserve also said the
vast majority of its policymakers
believed it would be appropriate for
the central bank to raise short-term
interest rates starting in 2015. The
Federal Funds rate, traditionally the
Feds main tool for regulating the
health of the economy, has been near
zero since late 2008.
Investors have grown used to an
easy-money policy from the Fed for
more than five years now. Higher
interest rates would mean the econo-
my is improving, but it also raises the
cost of borrowing money for every-
one, from companies borrowing to
expand their businesses to consumers
looking at a mortgage. At the same
time, if the Fed kept interest rates for
too low for too long it could cause the
U.S. economy to overheat and experi-
ence ination.
We think they are acknowledging
for the rst time that short-term rates
will rise in the future, Chris Rupkey,
chief nancial economist with Bank
of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, wrote in an
e-mail to clients. And that future is
not that far away. A normal economy
will need a normal interest rate.
Traders were also confused after
newly appointed Fed Chair Janet
Yellen implied that the Feds time
frame for raising interest rates was
closer to the rst half of 2015, sooner
than many had expected.
At a press conference, Yellen was
asked how much time would need to
pass between when the Fed ends its
bond-buying program which is
expected to end in the second half of
2014 and when the Fed would raise
interest rates. Yellen responded that
the Fed could consider raising interest
rates in six months or that type of
thing from when the bond-buying
program would end.
Atimetable of six months was much
sooner than investors had predicted.
So whether or not Yellen meant the
six months as a denitive timetable
or a rough estimate based upon where
the economy might be in a year, the
market took Yellen at her word, strate-
gists said. Stock and bond prices
steepened in their decline after she
made her comments.
It creates a haze of uncertainty,
said Andres Garcia-Amaya, global
market strategist with J.P. Morgan
Funds. As we get closer to 2015, we
should expect more volatility like
this.
The reaction to Yellens remarks and
the Feds announcements was far more
noticeable in the bond market.
The yield of the 10-year U.S.
Treasury note, a benchmark for many
kinds of loans including mortgages,
rose to 2.77 percent from 2.67 percent
Tuesday, a large move. The sell-off
was even more pronounced in two-
year and ve-year Treasury notes. The
yield on the two-year note jumped to
0.42 percent from 0.35 percent and
the ve-year notes yield rose to 1.7
percent from 1.54 percent.
The U.S. dollar had its biggest one-
day gain since August 2013 and gold
had its worst day since December. In
afterhours trading, gold was down
$28.20, or 2 percent, to $1,330.80 an
ounce.
Higher interest rates talk spooks stocks
By Martin Crutsinger
WASHINGTON Janet Yellen tried at her
rst news conference as Federal Reserve
chair to clarify a question thats consumed
investors: When will the Fed start raising
short-term interest rates from record lows?
Yellen stressed that with the job market
still weak, the Fed intends to keep short-
term rates near zero for a considerable
time and would raise them only gradually.
And she said the Fed wouldnt be dictated
solely by the unemployment rate, which
Yellen feels overstates the health of the job
market and the economy.
Those points reinforced a message the
Fed delivered in a policy statement after
ending a two-day meeting Wednesday. The
statement said that even after it raises
short-term rates, and even after the job
market strengthens and inflation increas-
es, the Fed expects its benchmark short-
term rate to stay unusually low.
The statement also said the Fed will cut its
monthly long-term bond purchases by $10
billion to $55 billion because it thinks the
economy is steadily healing.
But Yellen appeared to jolt investors
when she tried to clarify the Feds timetable
for raising short-term rates.

Wednesdays announcement that
Toyota will pay $1.2 billion to avoid
criminal prosecution for hiding informa-

anyone selling cars in the U. S. :
Although the federal governments road-
safety watchdog doesnt have big fangs,
the Justice Department does.
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administrations maximum ne for hiding
information is $35 million, a pittance to
automakers. But the Justice Department can
reach deeper into your wallet and hurt your
reputation with damning public statements.
Shortly after the announcement, Attorney
General Eric Holder issued an apparent
warning to GM and other automakers, say-
ing the Toyota deal was not necessarily the
only time we will use this approach.

Matt McGarry took a no-hitter into the
fth inning and went on to earn the win as
the Menlo-Atherton baseball team scored a
6-2 victory over Half Moon Bay in the
Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division
opener.
A matchup of the Bay Divisions best
through non-league play, M-Acame out like
a contender on both sides of the ball.
McGarry worked ve-plus innings, allow-
ing two runs on four hits to earn his rst win
of the year. Senior right-hander Colin
Martell emerged in the seventh to tab his
rst save.
And the Bears offense showed up in sup-
port of their junior starter, scoring a single
run in the rst before rallying for four in the
third. M-A banged out seven hits through-
out and added an insurance run in the fourth
on a majestic solo home run by senior
Jordan Long.
For M-A manager Mike Amoroso, the
offensive strategy is simple.
See ball. Hit ball. Hit ball hard,
Amoroso said.
Meanwhile, a young Half Moon Bay squad
did just about everything it could to hurt its
own cause. In addition to committing four
errors in the eld, the Cougars made several
key outs on the bases.
Cougars left-hander Josh McKnight
tabbed a complete game in taking the hard-
luck loss, his record falling to 1-1.
I thought our pitcher did really well to
keep us in the game, Cougars manager
Steve Terraszas said. Josh threw great. We
just cant compound error after error.
Were fairly young. But its a stepping
stone. We make that step. We realize what it
takes to play in the [Bay Division] now and
we have to adjust.

Burlingame shortstop Ryan Kammuller res a throw to rst during the Panthers8-1 win over
Carlmont in the PAL Bay Division opener for both teams Wednesday.
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Burlingame baseball team went into
its Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division
opener against host Carlmont Wednesday
having scufed throughout the non-league
portion of its schedule.
The Panthers were just 1-3 against PAL
Ocean Division teams in the preseason,
struggling to score runs. When they did put
runs on the board, their pitching staff could
not keep the opposition down.
Against the defending Bay Division
champs Scots, however, the Panthers put
together arguably its best effort of the sea-
son in an 8-1 victory.
[The win] is huge, said Burlingame left
elder Jonathan Engelmann, who capped the
victory with a grand slam in the top of the
sixth inning. Were a team that needs con-
dence.
Burlingame (1-0 PAL Bay, 3-4 overall)
scratched out single runs in the second,
third, fourth and fth innings to take a 4-0
lead. The Panthers were not pounding the
ball all over the park, however. They were
patient at the plate and then, with runners in
scoring position played fundamental, situa-
tional baseball. Those initial four runs came
off of just two hits.
Thats been missing and its something
we have to do because were not going to
bang the ball around, said Burlingame man-
ager Shawn Scott.
Carlmont manager Rich Vallero was
almost at a loss for words about how his
team performed. The Scots avoided the
shutout by plating a run in the bottom of the
seventh inning, but they were shut down by
Burlingame pitcher Kevin Maltz through-
out, managing just ve hits for the game.
We were at in our home opener and they
came in and kicked us in the face, Vallero
said. But you cant take anything away
from their guy (Maltz) on the bump.
Maltz wasnt blowing away the Carlmont
hitters, but he used location and movement
to keep the Scots off balance throughout the
game. After giving up a double to Kyle
Barret in the rst inning, Maltz didnt allow
Panthers pick up big win

ith the Half Moon Bay and
Serra boys basketball teams
being eliminated from the
Northern California tournament Tuesday
night, we nally close the book on the
2013-14 winter sports season.
As is my custom, now is the time to
look back on the best that happened from
December to mid-March. The one criteria
is that I must have seen with my own
eyes the plays, players and teams on this
list.
It is by no means comprehensive
because from the start of the sports calen-
dar in late August to the end in early June,
its usually all a blur.
To make this list, it
really has to stand
out.
So without further
ado .
Game of the
year: Aragon ver-
sus Apt os ,
Central Coast
Sect i on semi -
nal s . For most of
the season, the
Aragon-Burlingame
overtime thriller was
poised to grab this spot, as Panthers
guard Frankie Ferrari and his Dons coun-
terpart Alex Manu turned the game into
their own personal one-on-one battle.
But that game was trumped by the
Dons 94-93, triple-overtime win over
the Mariners in the CCS Division III
seminals. The Dons sprinted out of the
gate, jumping out to a double-digit lead
just minutes into the opening quarter, but
the Mariners methodically got back in
the game. The two went back and forth all
game long, with both teams making
incredible shots and plays.
In all, the teams played a total of ve-
and-a-half quarters, with Aragon using its
starting ve for almost the entire game.
Four of those starters nished in double
gures as the game should go down as
one of the most exciting in CCS history.

STANFORD Johnny Dawkins father
once caught his son reading positive press
clippings during the teens junior year of
high school and quickly put an end to it,
with the harsh reminder that the words
wouldnt always be so kind.
Dawkins learned a valuable lesson from
his dad that day that he still abides by all
these years later while coaching the NCAA
tournament-bound Stanford mens basket-
ball team. As a college student, Dawkins had
one slip up during a rough
sophomore season at
Duke but insists he hasnt
read a word about himself
since.
And you can imagine
how long that is now, Im
not getting any
younger, the 50-year-old
Dawkins said with a
chuckle.
Even through the
praise from coaching mentor Mike
Krzyzewski when he departed Duke to lead
his own program at Stanford, or the con-
stant chatter over the past year about
Dawkins uncertain future if the Cardinal
failed to reach the tournament he has
somehow ignored it all.
Now, Dawkins is back on that familiar big
stage for the rst time as a head coach
after some special runs as a player and Blue
Devils assistant.
No. 10 seed Stanford (21-12) will face
seventh-seeded New Mexico (27-6) on
Friday in the South Regional at St. Louis.
This marks the storied programs return to
the tournament for the rst time since 2008,
coming two years after the Cardinal won the
NIT championship in 2012.
Dawkins will continue to lead the pro-
gram, with athletic director Bernard Muir
acknowledging last spring the program
needed to reach the NCAA tournament this
season for Dawkins to stay. Everybody is
moving forward and focusing on making
sure Stanfords team of tournament rst-
timers doesnt get so caught up in the
moment and the Cardinal lose their edge.
He doesnt let outside things affect him,
Stanfords Dawkins has learned to avoid outside pressure

forward Josh Huestis said. Thats had a pos-
itive effect on us as well.
Some of Dawkins fathers advice will be
applied again through preparations for New
Mexico. Dawkins still recalls their conver-
sation clearly.
He said: Well, because if you continue to
read what youre reading, eventually it will
always turn. And so if you cant handle read-
ing the bad, you probably shouldnt even
read the good, just let it all go, Dawkins
said. From that point on I never really kept
up with whats said about me, unless some-
one says it directly to my face, I have really
no clue. My players will tell you Im the
most mindless guy when it comes to know-
ing whats out there.
Dawkins was asked this week if he felt any
redemption reaching this point, consider-
ing a rash of signicant injuries and other
circumstances in recent years contributed to
the struggles.
Nope, not him. Dawkins has been an ath-
lete and coach long enough to understand
the demands and expectations in a results-
oriented business and one year back in
the tournament is just considered one
important step for a program that wants to
be an annual participant again as Stanford
used to be under former coach Mike
Montgomery.
Even Dawkins players have been
impressed by and appreciative of his ability
to focus on the task at hand each day, rather
than worrying about his teams NCAA
chances or bracket or whether he would
be back next year.
Regardless of whether there was pressure
on coach or pressure on any of us individu-
ally, collectively as a team we set this goal
and we wanted to accomplish it, said senior
Dwight Powell, who returned for his nal
season rather than entering the NBA draft
last year. We didnt want to let anything
stand in the way regardless of things that
have been said. We came here to play for
him, and he believed in us bringing us in
here. Regardless of what the situation may
have seemed like as far as making it in or
not making it in to the tournament through-
out the season, we were just trusting his
guidance.
Dawkins, who enjoyed a nine-year NBA
career, played for a national title at Duke and
won an NCAAchampionship as a coach for
his alma mater.
Trips to the NCAA tournament used to be
such a regular thing for Dawkins that his
wife and kids got used to it, curious why it
didnt also happen every year at Stanford.
It doesnt work that way, this is some-
thing you have to earn, he recalled saying.
Now, he hopes Stanford can accomplish
more than just a happy-to-be-there one-and-
done.
While Dawkins doubted his father would
make the trip from Maryland to St. Louis,
he appreciates all those wise words along
the way.
I havent really thanked him for it,
Dawkins said. I should.

STANFORD
Bay defense. Although the Cougars didnt
commit an error in the inning, M-As Erik
Amundson hit a comebacker to McKnight
with one on and no outs that looked like
surere double-play ball. McKnight made a
perfect throw to second to get the lead run-
ner, but Half Moon Bay shortstop Phil
Anderson overshot rst base with the throw
allowing Amundson to reach. Amundson
quickly stole second and senior Brett
Moriarty delivered an RBI single to drive
him home, giving the Bears a 1-0 lead.
In the third, M-A sent nine batters to the
plate with the help of three Half Moon Bay
errors in the inning. Charlie Cain started
the rally with a booming one-out double to
left. Amundson followed with another
comebacker on which Cain was tagged out
in a rundown. But with two outs Moriarty
singled to advance Amundson to second.
A.J. Lemons followed with a grounder to
short that should have ended the inning, but
an errant throw to rst allowed Amundson to
score and also extended the rally. Josh
Gabriel cashed in with an RBI single to cen-
ter to score Moriarty. Then Bears junior
Daniel Kollar-Gasiewski capped the rally
with a two-run single to left, giving M-A a
5-0 lead.
In the fourth, M-A added an insurance run
on Longs home run. Long almost added
another homer in the fth with two on and
two out with a deep drive to right, but
Cougars right elder Mike Rupert hauled it
in at the fence.
Theres been some games where weve
given away three, four runs, but we were
able to hit our way out of it, Terraszas said.
But when you face a pitcher like that whos
throwing the ball by you, its tough to
come back when you spot him six (runs).
McGarry was blazing a fastball through
ve innings but yielded the rst Cougars hit
of the game to McKnight with one out in the
fth. McGarry said he was aware of the no-
hitter. He threw one previous no-hitter in
his life as a member of the Pros of Alpine
Little League when he was 12.
But McGarry hit a wall in the sixth as Half
Moon Bay got on the board. Cougars senior
Brett Berghammer started the rally with a
leadoff double to right-center. Rupert fol-
lowed with a long RBI double to plate
Berghammer. Then after Chet Silveria
struck out but reached on a wild pitch, junior
James Cartwright drove an RBI single to
center to knock McGarry out of the game.
McGarry finished the day with eight
strikeouts.
My fastball was my best pitch today,
McGarry said. My curveball was pretty
good. I didnt really use the changeup that
much today but Ill probably use that more
as the season goes along.
Despite Half Moon Bays defensive mis-
givings, Berghammer made the defensive
play of the day in center to rob Lemons of
extra bases with an all-out sprint going
back on a long drive in the bottom of the
sixth.
He just kept going and ended up tracking
it down, said Rupert, who had the best view
of the catch from right eld. He caught it
on the run a few feet back from the fence and
ended up having to go into a roll because he
had to dive a bit for it.
With the loss, Half Moon Bay falls to 0-1
in Bay Division play and 5-3 overall. M-A
improves to 1-0 in the Bay and 6-1 overall.
Its a great way to start the season and
get it rolling, McGarry said.

OKLAHOMACITY Penn State is favored
to win its fourth consecutive NCAA
wrestling title this weekend, despite chal-
lenges from traditional powers Iowa,
Oklahoma State, Oklahoma and Minnesota.
I think the parity is great, Penn State
coach Cael Sanderson said. It takes time.
Not too long ago, I think you only had three
teams with a chance to win, Now, I think
there are 10 or 15 that think they can win and
have the resources to do so.
A pair of seniors two-time national
champion Ed Ruth and three-time national
nalist David Taylor lead Penn State.
Ruth (29-1), who has lost once in the past
three years, is the No. 2 seed at 184 pounds.
Marylands Jimmy Sheptock (28-0) is the
No. 1 seed. Cornell freshman Gabriel Dean
(35-2) defeated Ruth this season, and a
rematch is possible in the seminals.
Taylor (29-0), who won the 165-pound
title in 2012 and nished second last year,
has won 13 matches by pinfall, eight by
technical fall and one by major decision this
season.
The nals will be Saturday at Chesapeake
Energy Arena. Taylor said he appreciates the
past four years, and the opportunity he has
this weekend.
I guess the biggest thing is thinking back
to how grateful I am that I chose Penn State,
and how grateful I am that Ed Ruth and I are
on the same team at the same time and push-
ing each other the past four years, Taylor
said.
Penn State could be a factor in several other
classes.
Jessie Delgado of Illinois (25-2) returns to
defend his title at 125, but last years runner-
up, Penn States Nicholas Megaludis (26-3),
is back.
Ohio States Logan Steiber (25-1), the No.
2 seed at 141, won 133 last year and is a two-
time national champion. Mitchell Port of
Edinboro is undefeated (26-0) and seeded No.
1. Penn State freshman Zain Retherford (29-
1) beat Steiber early in the season, but
Steiber beat him in the Big Ten nal.
Oklahoma State has qualiers in every
class. The Cowboys have won the national
title the past two times the championships
were held in Oklahoma City.
Driving down the road here makes it real
easy for us, Oklahoma State coach John
Smith said. Sometimes, that translates into
great wrestling. We have to get focused, and
we have to wrestle our best three days that
weve wrestled all year.
Oklahoma States Chris Perry (25-1)
returns to defend his title. Oklahomas
Andrew Howe (24-1), a past national champ,
also is in this class and is seeded No. 2.
Perrys only loss this season is to Howe, but
Perry beat him 3-2 in the Big 12 tournament
for Howes only loss.
You have to take one match at a time and
get ready, Perry said. If we meet up again,
so be it. Ill be excited.
Kendric Maple (22-4) leads Oklahoma, He
won 141 last year and is the No. 4 seed at 149
this year. Missouris Drake Houdashelt (34-
1) is the top seed. Houdashelt beat Maple 3-2
in their only meeting this season.
Penn State favored to win fourth straight wrestling title

Coach of the Year: Chuck Rapp, Serra. Sure, the
Padres are blessed with talented players and Rapp is
already recognized as one of the best in San Mateo
County, but his performance this season may have been
the best of his career.
With no player over 6-4 and a limited post presence,
Rapp relied on his teams signature suffocating defense
and clutch shooting from guard Danny Mahoney and Sean
Watkins, to all but will the Padres to a second-place n-
ish in the West Catholic Athletic League, a spot in the
CCS Open Division championship game and the semi-
nals of the Northern California Division II tournament.
Rapp has had more talented teams during his tenure at
Serra, but he got more out of the 2013-14 version of the
Padres than any other team he has coached.
Team you never count out: San Mateo boys
soccer. Over the last several years, the Bearcats have
become the Cardiac Kids of the Peninsula. When all
seems lost, the Bearcats somehow, some way, found a
way to earn a point.
This year was no different. In a game against Woodside,
San Mateo faced decits of 3-0 and 4-2, only to score
twice in the nal two minutes of regulation and stoppage
time to forge a 4-4 tie.
San Mateo scored four times in the nal 13 minutes of
the game.
Performance of the year, basketbal l : Franki e
Ferrari, Burlingame. While everyone expects this to
be Ferraris 46-point eruption against Leigh in the CCS
Open Division tournament, I have a different one in
mind: his 30-point performance in the Panthers 76-72
overtime win over Aragon.
After trading baskets with Aragons Alex Manu for
most of the game, Ferrari saved his best for last, scoring
11 of Burlingames 13 points in overtime, knocking
down three 3-pointers in the extra period.
Performance of the year, soccer: Ni ck
Schnabel, Serra. Its one thing to become arguably
your schools best player in history, its another to come
through when your team needed you the most.
Schnabel did both for the Padres and he saved his best
for last, scoring both goals in the CCS Division II cham-
pionship game, a 2-2 tie with Gilroy. With Gilroy nurs-
ing a 1-0 lead late in the game, Schnabels brilliance
came to the fore, as he knotted the score in the 78th
minute. He then gave the Padres a 2-1 lead in overtime,
only to see the Mustangs come back to tie it.
Dunk of the year: Chris Bene, Sequoia. I believe
this is the rst time Ive ever included this category
because, well, there just arent that many dunks that occur
on the Peninsula, especially in the PAL.
But that changed this year with Benes dip against
Monta Vista in the rst round of the CCS Division I tour-
nament. He took an inbound pass, dribbled up the side-
line, slashed into the lane and, off one foot, soared
through the air for a tomahawk, one-hand ush.
Im a one-footed jumper, Bene told reporters after the
game.
Best performance, gi rl s soccer: Al yssa Fagel ,
Lauren Raci oppe, Carl mont. These two shared the
job in the net for the Scots this season, with each usually
serving a half in goal for Carlmont.
In a 1-0 win over Woodside, both came up huge in
denying the Wildcats. The two combined to make 14
saves including several point-blank saves from
Racioppe in the second half.
Their combined performance help Carlmont snap
Woodsides 31-game PAL unbeaten streak.
***
Looks like the Burlingame boys basketball teams
inside-outside tandem of Nick Loew and Frankie Ferrari
will stay together at the next level.
Loew was admitted to University of San Francisco last
week and will be joining Ferrari next season as a recruit-
ed walk-on.
Loew played all four years at the varsity level for
Burlingame, averaging nine points and eight rebounds
for his career, with 39 double-doubles. The Panthers com-
piled a record of 93-29 during Loews tenure, winning
three PAL South titles, two PAL tournament champi-
onships and one CCS crown.
***
The San Mateo Mystic Storm, an under-12 AYSO girls
soccer team, captured the AYSO Soccer State Cup champi-
onship last weekend in Bakerseld.
The Mystic Storm won the San Mateo City AYSO girls
under-12 division championship, qualifying it for the
area tournament, where it beat eight other local city
champs including Belmont, Burlingame, Foster City,
Half Moon Bay, Hillsborough, Redwood City and San
Carlos.
San Mateo then moved on to the section tournament
where it prevailed to represent Northern California in the
State Cup.
All told, the Mystic Storm nished the season with a
22-1 record. The team consists of: Emily Andrews, Erika
Bagtas, Madison Campbell, Natalya Chun, Katherine De
La Cruz, Abigail Geiger, Jessica King, Lydia Manu, Karly
Paganucci, Olivia Ratti, Allie Rees, Bianca Rivera, Kenia
Vega and coaches Paul Chun and Shar Manu.

another hit until a Ryan Giberton single in the bottom of
the fth.
I felt good coming in, Maltz said. I was hitting my
spots. Everything was feeling good. I relied on my fastball
throughout the day.
[This win] is what we needed.
Added Scott: Hes pitched well for us all year.
Carlmont starter Evan McClain breezed through the rst
three Burlingame batters, needing just six pitches to get
back in the dugout. The Scots proceeded to load the bases in
the bottom of the rst inning with two outs, but could not
take advantage.
Whatever McClain had working for him in the rst
inning, however, disappeared and he lasted through just four
innings not that his defense did him any favors, com-
mitting four errors.
In the top of the second, Burlingame took a 1-0 lead. The
Panthers loaded the bases with two outs on a elders choice
and a pair of walks. Will Lambson hit a routine grounder to
the Carlmont second baseman, but he booted it for an error,
with Mitchell Gaiser scoring on the play.
Burlingame doubled its lead in the second when leadoff
hitter Griffin Intrieri reached on a bunt single. Ryan
Kammuller was hit by a pitch and both runners moved up a
base on Englemanns yout to right. A Dominic Garcia
groundout chased home Intrieri with the Panthers second
run of the game.
The Panthers took a 3-0 lead with another run in the
fourth inning, with Ryan Weeks scoring on an Intrieri
groundout. In the fth, a Mitchell Swanson sacrice y to
center drove home Engelmann for the Panthers fourth run
of the afternoon.
The Panthers all but ended the game with a four-run sixth.
Lambson led off the inning and reached on an error. Intrieri
singled and Kammuller reached on an ineld hit to load the
bases to bring up Engelmann. After taking the rst pitch for
a ball, Engelmann unloaded on the next offering, blasting it
deep over the left-eld fence.
Fastball. I was sitting on the fastball, Engelmann said.
I knew I hit it well.
Carlmont nally strung some hits together to scratch out
a run in the bottom of the seventh. Giberton singled and
moved to third on Nick Thompsons double to the right cen-
ter-eld gap. Following a yout, Barret hit a sacrice y to
center, with Giberton scampering home for the Scots lone
run.
They (Carlmont) just had a bad day today, Scott said.
They dont commit [four] errors. Theyre a better team than
that.

SPRING TRAINING GLANCE
By Noah Trister
In all his years as a groundskeep-
er for the Chicago White Sox,
Roger Bossard has never faced any-
thing quite like this.
The snow that piled up at U.S.
Cellular Field could be dealt with
easily enough. Its Chicago, after
all. But the frost in the ground can
be measured in feet, not inches. To
ready the eld for the rst pitch,
Bossard is overseeing an effort
akin to blowing a gigantic hair
dryer under a tarp to pump hot air
onto the eld and thaw it out. Crews
have been chipping away at ice
near the right eld line with shov-
els.
And opening day is less than two
weeks away.
This has actually been the per-
fect storm for me, Bossard said.
Ive been in this for 45 years and
Ive seen a lot of snow. Certainly,
thats not hard to handle. ... My
problem actually is the permafrost.
Ive actually never run into where
Ive got 30 inches of permafrost.
Groundskeepers all over baseball
are scrambling to help their ball-
parks recover from months of snow
and freezing temperatures that left
elds looking more ready for cross-
country skiers than bats and balls.
Like the White Sox, the Detroit
Tigers are scheduled to play at
home on March 31, when the regu-
lar season begins in earnest with
13 games. The Minnesota Twins
who for so long played in the
indoor connes of the Metrodome
have been digging out from their
own snowy surroundings at Target
Field. They at least have until April
7 before they have to play a home
game.
Points farther south have been
affected, too.
Its rare that we get snow as bad
as weve had this winter, said
Nicole McFadyen, head
groundskeeper at Camden Yards in
Baltimore. Luckily, McFadyen
caught a break just in time: The
snow is melting because the suns
reection is heating the stadium.
Baltimore received 26 inches of
snow from December through
February, according to the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration. That was almost a
50 percent increase from an average
winter, but it was nothing com-
pared to what Chicago (66.7 inch-
es) and Detroit (78 inches) are deal-
ing with. Boston had 56.4 inches
over that three-month period, and
Cleveland had 65.
The worst may be over in terms
of cold weather, but the outlook for
opening day isnt all that promis-
ing. From March 26 through April
1, theres a decent chance of below-
normal temperatures all over the
eastern half of the country, particu-
larly near the Great Lakes.
Meanwhile, the clock is ticking.
The backs against the wall a lit-
tle bit, Bossard said.
Bossard estimated that his crew
removed over 400 tons of snow last
weekend. Snowblowers and plows
can help, but its a delicate opera-
tion: Plows can only do so much
before theres a risk of damage to
the eld.
Theres a certain charm to a foot-
ball game played in the snow on a
raggedy, chewed-up field but
baseball is supposed to be about
sunshine and soft grass. Nobody
ever waxes poetic about the frozen
tundra of Fenway Park.
Even in the warm summer
months, baseball elds are meticu-
lously manicured to prevent bad-
hop grounders, crumbling mounds
and any number of other potential
problems. If the eld is too slick
because of cold conditions, players
could get hurt, and a rock-hard sur-
face obviously isnt ideal for an
outelder trying to make a diving
catch.

Last week I made my annual pilgrimage to
the venerable Philadelphia Flower Show,
the largest and oldest in the country.
Thousands of plants are grown to perfection
and forced into bloom. It never fails to get
me revved up for spring.
The array of blooming plants at the show
got me thinking about the horticultural
practice of forcing. Forcing is simply
pushing a plant into blooming or leang
out earlier than it normally would.
Skilled exhibitors like those in
Philadelphia use forcing techniques to cre-
ate beautiful full-sized gardens with trees,
shrubs perennials and even annuals coaxed
into bloom weeks or even months before
they normally would.
The variety of arrangements is amazing.
These skilled designers use everything from
dried plant material collected in their own
backyards to tropical owers own in from
around the globe.
Some of the most beautiful arrangements
were made using forced branches from
spring-owering trees. These large arrange-
ments gave visitors a taste of what lies
ahead a few months from now, when ower-
ing trees like dogwood, cherry, quince and
apple will be bursting into bloom.
Fortunately for those of us who want a
dose of spring sooner than later, forcing
branches of owering trees or shrubs is not
hard.
For best results, choose shrubs or trees
that are early bloomers. Branches of for-
sythia, owering quince or pussy willow
make good candidates, as do those of trees
like flowering pear, Witch-hazel or
Cornelian Cherry (Cornus mas).
Later-blooming trees like dogwood, crab,
cherry and lilac can be forced but take a lit-
tle practice.
To begin, choose healthy young branches
with good bud count. Using a sharp pair of
pruners cut branches that area at least 12
inches long (longer is ne) and about the
diameter of a pencil.
Immediately place the cut ends in tepid
water. Cut more than you need because not
all the branches will be successful.
Bring the branches inside and submerge
them entirely under room temperature water
for several hours. I use the bathtub for this,
but a large wash tub or clean plastic trash
barrel would work well too.
Soaking the branches softens the outer
casing of the buds and prepares them for
opening. This process happens in nature
over a period of weeks as temperatures rise
and spring rain is in abundance. Forcing just
hastens the process and tricks the branches
into blooming.
After several hours, remove the branches
from the water one at a time and remove any
side branches protruding from the main
stem up about 6 or 8 inches from the cut end.
This prevents any branches from rotting
under water once they are put in a vase.
Next, make multiple vertical cuts 2 to 3
inches up the stem of each branch. This will
help the branch to take up as much water as
possible. Submerge the cut branches into a
bucket of fresh cool water. Next, wrap the
branches loosely in either newspaper or
burlap and tie with twine. Place the contain-
er in a cool location; 55 to 65 degrees is
ideal. Mist the newspaper or burlap with
water until it is saturated. Keeping the
humidity high around the branches is
important. Change the water in the bucket
frequently and mist the branches often so
they dont dry out.
Keep the branches out of direct sunlight
until they start to show color. Depending on
the type of branches and how close to the
plants blooming you cut them, this could
be anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.
Once they begin to show color, place the
branches in a vase and move into bright
light. Avoid placing the vase in a warm
room as this may push the owers to open
too fast and they will not last as long.
Once you see how easy it is to force ow-
ering branches you may end up celebrating
spring a few months early every year with-
out having to leave home.
Bringing spring on
early ... by force
Cherry twigs can be forced to bloom early to create a beautiful display in a vase.

By Lee Reich
The biggest problem with growing orchid cacti is guring
out just what they are.
They are cacti, but are not spiny. Their spectacular blos-
soms are neither orchids nor orchid-like.
Sometimes orchid cacti are called epiphyllums, which is
also the botanical name of some (but not all) orchid cacti. The
word epiphyllum means on the leaf and refers to the way the
owers just pop out from the edges of the ... well, they look
like leaves but theyre really just attened stems.
Enough with the semantics! The important thing is that fat
ower buds on my orchid cactis stems are about to burst open
into spectacular white, pink or scarlet blossoms. And coaxing
forth these blossoms required very little effort on my part.
THIS CACTUS LIKES MOISTURE
Although orchid cacti, or epies (short for epiphyllums) as
they are sometimes called, are true cacti, they are not native to
deserts but to lush, tropical jungles. There, they nestle into
forks in tree branches or into rock crevices where enough
humus has accumulated to retain moisture. The plants enjoy
soils that are both well-drained and retain moisture. I use my
standard potting mix with a little extra perlite for drainage;
you could also make up a mix using peat moss, compost, and
perlite or sand.
Here, out of the jungle, the plants look right at home in
hanging baskets, from which their arching, attened stems,
scalloped along the edges, can swoop up and out as fountains
of greenery.
In contrast to the night-blooming cereus cactus, an epi-
phyllum species that is spectacular and fragrant the few nights
that it blossoms, the attened, green stems of orchid cactus
are nice to look at year round.
On some of my plants, the stems are so thin they droop lan-
guidly right over the edge of the pots from their own weight.
My white-owered epi, in contrast, has sturdy stems that
reach out a couple of feet in all directions before succumbing
to gravity.
GIVE THEM A REST
In return for owers, which last for weeks but usually appear
only once a year, my epies ask for regular watering, occasion-
al fertilizer and, once a year, a rest. The one period when epies
should not be watered is, conveniently, beginning in fall
when they begin their annual rest. Its always iffy watering a
hanging basket indoors, when a little too much water means
scurrying for a bowl to catch the dripping.
To set ower buds, the plants also allegedly need to experi-
ence the naturally long nights of autumn and winter, so they
mustnt be interrupted by articial light after dark. I used to put
my plants in a bright window in a cool corner of my basement
and forget about them until ready to bring them upstairs and
let water and warmth bring on the owers. Ive since found
that merely not watering them at all from the time they are
brought indoors in autumn is sufcient to induce ower buds.
Swelling ower buds indicate that its time to start watering
again.
In summer, the plants like being outdoors in ltered shade
such as they might enjoy in their native haunts.
WHATS IN A NAME
So what are my plants, really? I still dont know.
Epiphyllums and related species were rst hybridized in
England about 1830. At rst, the only colors available were
whites, pinks and reds, not much of a limitation given the
drama of the blossoms. Humans will be humans though, and
in 1950, breeding efforts brought forth the rst yellow orchid
cactus, called Reward. The original cuttings sold for $400.
Perhaps blue epies are on the horizon.
Orchid cacti are easy to grow, beautiful in bloom
All the epies are easy to care for, attractive year round and
stunningly beautiful in bloom.

Walls can get dirty before you know it
from a splatter of spaghetti dinner to the
crayon artistry of a roaming toddler to fin-
gers simply reaching for a light switch.
Its easy to pass by walls and woodwork
every day without a second glance, but
spring-cleaning season is a great time to
give them the attention they deserve.
Like many housekeeping tasks, regular
cleaning can help avoid bigger cleanup
work later on.
It doesnt have to be as difficult of a job
as it sounds, said Amy Panos, senior edi-
tor at Better Homes and Gardens. The eas-
ier you can make it on yourself, the more
likely you are to do it.
DIRT AND SCUFFS
Walls tend to get dirtiest around light
switches and door knobs.
Even if a hand looks clean, it still has a
little dirt and oils that over time build up
and eventually make that area of the wall
dirty, Panos said.
Walls also get marked up from acciden-
tal kicks or the brush of a bag near the
baseboards. Parents know how toddlers
hands often find their way to walls, either
with filthy fingers or with crayons or
markers.
These fingerprints and other blemishes
are best tackled right away. The sooner
you can get to a mark that is noticeable,
the easier it will be to clean, said Sharon
Grech, a color and design expert for
Benjamin Moore.
People are wary of cleaning or washing
painted surfaces because they fear the
process will remove the paint. But Grech
said the technology has improved over the
last decade, and paints now are more stain-
resistant and durable for cleaning.
Still, its important to use the right
products.
To remove everyday marks, Grech sug-
gested using a clean cellulose sponge with
a little warm water.
Just give it a good rub, she said. Wait
for it to dry and see if its clean.
If the dirt is still evident, repeat the
process using a dab of dish detergent and
wipe the area dry with a clean sponge, rag
or paper towel.
Warm water does miracles with a
sponge, Grech said. You want to avoid
using regular household cleaners that have
ammonia and other products in them
because they can change the sheen of the
paint.
Panos likes the ease of a foam eraser pad,
like Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, though be
sure to test it first in an inconspicuous area
to make sure it wont remove the color or
finish. Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is approved
by the manufacturer for use on most paints,
including flat and semi-gloss paint.
Theyre quite incredible, Panos said.
They take care of a lot.
Dont forget doorways and trim, often
coated in easy-to-wipe paints but in light
colors like white and cream that make
marks especially visible. Cleaning those
areas can instantly make the room seem
brighter.
It really glistens, Grech said. Its like
putting on a nice lip gloss.
DUST AND COBWEBS
While most people know to take care of
an unsightly mark, many overlook clean-
ing the whole wall, Panos said. Once you
have a fresh coat of paint, lightly dust the
walls about every three months.
You dont need to get a bucket and soap
and sponge and completely wash down the
walls, she said. Make it easy on yourself
by getting a tool with an extension pole
so that you can stand on the ground and
take care of the job in just a few minutes
rather than having to drag out a ladder.
Clean the ceiling first, with a dust-
attracting microfiber mop on the exten-
sion pole for smooth ceilings, or a slight-
ly damp paint roller on the pole for a pop-
corn ceiling, she said. The walls can be
cleaned from top to bottom with the mop
(dry or slightly damp), and the baseboards
hand-cleaned with a microfiber cloth.
Keeping the environment as dust-free as
possible is helpful for a good interior air
quality, Panos said.
Grech recommends regular cleaning
where dusts collects, such as on base-
boards, and on window ledges, where it can
mix with moisture and turn into a mess.
While cleaning the walls wont prolong
the paint job, she said, it will help keep
them looking their best.
You want to clean the areas that are get-
ting a little bit more abused to keep it
fresh, she said.
Tips for keeping walls, woodwork clean
Mr.Clean Magic Eraser is approved by the manufacturer for use on most paints, including at
and semi-gloss paint.

A66-year-old woman arrived at her
Edinburgh Street home in the Aragon
neighborhood around 12:45 p.m.
Monday when she was confronted and
attacked by the man. The man was
armed with a handgun and, after tying
the victim up, left to hit multiple
ATMs and returned to the home at
least once, San Mateo police Sgt.
Dave Norris said.
Obviously this was a very violent
crime and very infrequent in San
Mateo. All of our detectives are put-
ting their available resources into
trying to identify this suspect and get
him into custody to get this person
off the street, Norris said.
Over the following 24 hours, he
accessed her account through multi-
ple ATMs, including one located at
the Bank of America on Third Avenue
and El Camino Real, Norris said.
The man returned to the womans
home and stole items including jew-
elry and miscellaneous electronics
before finally leaving the house with
the woman still tied up, Norris said.
The woman was able to break free
around noon Tuesday and went to a
neighbor to call police, Norris said.
The woman suffered non-life threat-
ening injuries and was taken to the
hospital where she was later released,
Norris said.
There has been an uptick in burgla-
ries throughout the Bay Area and this
appears to have the robbery of an
unoccupied home gone wrong.
Theres been nothing like this. It
appears to have been an isolated inci-
dent. It appears to have sprung from a
residential burglary and we consis-
tently have a number of residential
burglaries that we are working on in
the city of San Mateo and most of
those have occurred in unoccupied
homes. So it appears this suspect was
burglarizing what he thought was an
unoccupied home, Norris said.
If anyone encounters a person com-
mitting a crime they should not con-
front the suspect but immediately
contact police, Norris said.
But in this particular circum-
stance, she walked into her house and
was surprised and I dont think there
was anything she could have done to
back out of it, Norris said.
Police released a photo taken from
an ATM of the man responsible for
the crime, Norris said. Many of the
details regarding the crime are being
held as the case is still under investi-
gation, Norris said.
He is described as Hispanic in his
30s, about 5 feet 10 inches tall with a
medium build and medium length hair
with a wave at the end, according to
police. He was photographed wearing
a beanie and dark zipped-up jacket
partially covering his face.

police.
When ofcers arrived, they found the
man, identied as 34-year-old Errol
Chang by the San Mateo County
Coroners Ofce, in the homes back-
yard.
Police said that the man brandished
an ax at ofcers, was unable to be sub-
dued and managed to get inside the
home and barricade himself.
After learning the man might have
armed himself with a rie and ammuni-
tion, nearby homes were evacuated and
officers attempted to communicate
with the suspect with no success,
police said.
SWAT team members then responded
to the scene and attempted to make
contact with the suspect through vari-
ous means but were unsuccessful,
according to police.
After more than six hours, the SWAT
team went into the home. When the
team got inside, the suspect, armed
with a knife, stabbed one of the SWAT
team members, police said.
The SWATteam responded to the sus-
pects attack by ring at him. He was
pronounced dead at the scene, accord-
ing to police.
The injured ofcer was transported to
a hospital for treatment and is expect-
ed to survive.
Video of the incident showed Chang
with his head and arms out the window
of the home with his hands out-
stretched.
I did understand that is what he had
done but he wouldnt come out and
wouldnt comply with officers
demands, police Capt. Joe
Spanheimer said.
Chang and his father, Thomas
Chang, were co-defendants in a med-
ical marijuana case in San Francisco in
2010 and were acquitted of illegal mar-
ijuana cultivation on the grounds that
the marijuana was legal for medical
purposes, Thomas Changs former
attorney Kenneth Quigley said.
Quigley said that Errol Chang suf-
fered from mental health issues,
including schizophrenia, which were
documented during the trial.
He said Thomas Chang is a decorated
Vietnam War veteran and that while the
home where the two were growing mar-
ijuana together was in San Franciscos
Sunset District, Errol Chang had ties
to Pacica.
Quigley said he was outraged to hear
of Errol Changs death.
Theres no reason you have to break
in and kill someone whos barricaded
in a room or a house, Quigley said. If
hes not endangering someone ... hes
going to get tired, hes going to go to
sleep, hes going to get hungry, hes
going to come out eventually.
Police declined to comment on Errol
Changs mental health.
Pacica and Daly City police depart-
ments, as well as the San Mateo
County District Attorneys Ofce, con-
tinue to investigate the incident.
SWAT
have been using a temporary boarding
platform on Huntington Avenue near
Sylvan Avenue. March 31 will be the
last day of service at that site, with the
new station opening up a half-mile to
the north at 833 San Mateo Ave. In
May, Caltrain is planning a communi-
ty celebration to mark the completion
of the grade separation project.
Manji himself may be good luck.
Back in August 2013, Wes Liquor, a
store on West 25th Avenue in San
Mateo he owned prior to then, sold a
winning Powerball ticket.
The ticket would have needed to
match the Mega number 7 to split the
$414 million jackpot with two other
winners in Florida and Maryland,
Lotto ofcials said.
The name of the winner has yet to be
released.

AMENDED NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
GERALDINE SMITH MOORE, aka
GERALDINE S. MOORE
Case Number: 124218
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Geraldine Smith Moore,
aka Geraldine S. Moore. A Petition for
Probate has been filed by Chinere Egu
in the Superior Court of California, Coun-
ty of San Mateo. The Petition for Pro-
bate requests that Cinyere Egu be ap-
pointed as personal representative to ad-
minister the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: April 8, 2014 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal au-
thority may affect your rights as a cred-
itor. You may want to consult with an at-
torney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

the trustee. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL
BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding
on this property lien, you should under-
stand that there are risks involved in bid-
ding at a trustee auction. You will be bid-
ding on a lien, not on the property itself.
Placing the highest bid at a trustee auc-
tion does not automatically entitle you to
free and clear ownership of the property.
You should also be aware that the lien
being auctioned off may be a junior lien.
If you are the highest bidder at the auc-
tion, you are or may be responsible for
paying off all liens senior to the lien being
auctioned off, before you can receive
clear title to the property. You are en-
couraged to investigate the existence,
priority and size of outstanding liens that
may exist on this property by contacting
the county recorder's office or a title in-
surance company, either of which may
charge you a fee for this information. If
you consult either of these resources,
you should be aware that the same lend-
er may hold more than one mortgage or
deed of trust on the property. NOTICE
TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date
shown on this notice of sale may be
postponed one or more times by the
mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a
court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the
California Civil Code. The law requires
that information about trustee sale post-
ponements be made available to you and
to the public, as a courtesy to those not
present at the sale. If you wish to learn
whether your sale date has been post-
poned, and if applicable, the rescheduled
time and date for the sale of this proper-
ty, you may call 877-484-9942 or 800-

way to verify postponement information
is to attend the scheduled sale. Date:

children? Why Latinos? Why in Silicon
Valley? The vast majority of our children
are going to struggle in high school and
thats heartbreaking for us. We want more
options, better options and we cannot wait.
KIPP student Iliana Flores recounted how
attending the charter has beneted her great-
l y, especially since the school has a family
spirit. Others like student Bella Aguilar
blamed district teachers who said her sister
was too far behind in school to catch up.
Parent Rita Munoz relayed her confusion
when she found her out son was below grade
level after being told he was doing great for
two years.
The levels of the schools here are very
basic, she said.
Conversely, Orlando Cardona, head of
Redwood Citys Familia Cristiana Verbo,
said theres no need to seek fault, but people
should seek solutions. Parents need to stop
calling their children dumb and have faith in
their kids to succeed, he added.
Board reaction
Maria Diaz-Slocum, president of the
Redwood City Elementary School District
Board of Trustees, and board Vice President
Dennis McBride sat on a panel at the meeting
and urged parents to come to the board with
concerns about the schools.
I grew up in this neighborhood and I want
to remind parents to come and tell us these
stories, Diaz-Slocum said. They need to
feel comfortable telling us they want these
changes.
At the same time, McBride said the board
wants whats best for students and said its
very disturbing to him if the district has let
parents down.
I have to be honest, hearing these stories
is one of the saddest events for me in 11
years, he said. We take great pride in being
open to charters. We do support schools of
choice. Would we support a charter? We will
follow the law and, as long as requirements
are met, we dont have a problem with it.
Teacher reaction
The board has not been in the dark though,
said Redwood City Teachers Association
President Bret Baird. Teachers have been
speaking out about the issue of building
community and creating a proper environ-
ment for kids to have faith in the system for
a while, he said. Adding charter schools
means more money taken away from already
money-strapped schools, he said. The char-
ters also dont have to follow the same rules
as other schools, including being able to
select who attends the school, he said.
We greatly value the educational triangle
of parent/student/teacher working together
and it should come from the bottom up, he
said. Weve preached this for years to no
avail to the school board and now its com-
ing home to roost.
Baird is frustrated the district has not done
certain things from preventing this situation
from happening, including using a ropes
course to establish community that will lead
to educational success. Another thing he has
pushed for two decades is institutionalizing
having teachers set aside one hour before
school starts to call each parent with a posi-
tive message, saying they look forward to
working with the parent and child to have a
successful school year.
Sometimes parents have never had a pos-
itive call from the district, he said. These
are little things that dont cost money.
There wouldnt be demand for charter schools
if they saw value and felt at home and wel-
come. Theyd have the respect for the learn-
ing environment and process.
Proposal
What KIPP is proposing is a K-8 school
with 100 students per grade, although the
campus would initially open with just a few
grade levels and then add more over time, said
Sierra Jenkins, director of development and
communications at Innovate Public Schools.
Rocketship wants to start a K-5 school with
about 80 to 100 students in each grade, but
would likely begin with grades K-4. For
KIPP, a high school could also be in the
works down the line.
Were looking forward to collaborating
with the district, said Rocketship CEO
Preston Smith. And create a collaboration
where every student succeeds in the district.
Meanwhile, KIPPs Chief Growth Ofcer
April Chou said her organization wants to
provide another high quality education
option and work on developing the whole
child.
San Mateo County Ofce of Education
Superintendent Anne Campbell; San Mateo
Board of Education Trustees Joe Ross and Rod
Hsiao; and Redwood City Councilwoman
Alicia Aguirre also participated in the expert
panel.

Venezuelan student
protesters seek to woo poor
PETARE, Venezuela The two students
venture into one of Latin Americas biggest
slums for the rst time, feeling scared and
somewhat awkward. Their mission: to broad-
en support for their anti-government protest
movement in the low-income barrios whose
working poor the late President Hugo Chavez
championed.
Our families didnt want us to come up
here, says Fernando Viscuna, a 21-year-old
international commerce major at the Instituto
Universitario de Nuevas Profesiones. But if
you want a better country, its got to be done.
He and Jhony Pulido, a curly-haired 22-
year-old economics student at Andres Bello
University, are earnest foot soldiers in an
incipient bridge-building effort by students
whose ve-week-old protest movement has
badly convulsed the country and triggered a
rm government crackdown.
The students have no illusions. If anything
is to change, they need allies in the very dis-
tricts that Chavez converted into bulwarks of
support by investing tens of billions of dol-
lars in oil income in generous social welfare
programs.
In two hours of knocking on doors and can-
vassing shop owners in the hilltop barrio of
El Morro, accompanied by a local auto
mechanics teacher allied with the opposition,
the students get a polite but mostly cool
reception.
Most people barely engage them. Some,
like 79-year-old retired plumber Valentin
Castillo, openly dismiss them.
Youre killing a lot of people, torching
cars. Youre against us, against everyone,
Castillo says, raising his voice.
Exactly. We agree with you. Were against
the blockades, too, says Viscuna, trying to
get in a word.
But Castillo doesnt buy it.
He mentions the slaying of National
Guardsmen, the governments shock troops
against protesters, by unknown gunmen
four have now been killed and a motorcy-
clist who authorities say was killed by a steel
cable stretched across a street by protesters.
Israeli airstrikes
escalate tensions with Syria
JERUSALEM Israeli warplanes
unleashed a series of airstrikes on Syrian mil-
itary posts early Wednesday, killing one sol-
dier and wounding seven in one of the most
serious clashes between the countries in the
past four decades.
The airstrikes came in retaliation for a road-
side bombing a day earlier in the Golan
Heights that wounded four Israeli soldiers on
patrol along the tense frontier with Syria. The
overnight raids marked a sharp escalation of
activity for Israel, which largely has stayed
on the sidelines during Syrian President
Bashar Assads battle against rebels trying to
topple him.
It is unclear which of the many groups
ghting in Syria may have planted Tuesdays
bomb. But Israel has said it holds Assad
responsible for any attacks emanating from
his country, and accused his forces of allow-
ing the attack to take place.
Our policy is clear. We hurt those who hurt
us, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
said. Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon said
Assad would regret his actions if attacks
continue.
Israel captured the Golan Heights, a strate-
gic plateau overlooking northern Israel, from
Syria in the 1967 Mideast war. It later
annexed the area, though that move is not
internationally recognized.
Australia checking two
objects in search for plane
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia Australias
prime minister says objects possibly related
to the missing Malaysia Airlines ight have
been spotted on satellite imagery.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott told
Parliament in Canberra on Thursday that a
Royal Australian Airforce Orion has been
diverted to the area to attempt to locate the
objects. The Orion is expected to arrive in the
area Thursday afternoon. Three additional air-
craft are expected to follow for a more inten-
sive search.
