PG&E pleads
not guilty to
pipeline blast
By Garance Gurke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO Pacific Gas &
Electric Co. pleaded not guilty Monday to a
dozen felony charges
stemming from alleged
safety violations in a
deadly 2010 natural gas
pipeline explosion that
leveled a neighborhood
in San Bruno.
As survivors of the
blast looked on, attor-
neys for Californias
largest utility entered the
plea in federal court in San Francisco to 12
felony violations of federal pipeline safety
laws.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Joseph Spero noted
prosecutors request to increase the maxi-
mum ne PG&E could face to more than $6
million, if the court decides the company
somehow benefited financially or saved
money as a result of criminal misconduct.
San Bruno city ofcials hailed the devel-
opment as a positive step and said they
believed company officials should be
charged as well.

Student grifter back
behind bars in Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA Aformer college
student convicted of stealing the identi-
ties of neighbors and friends has
returned to federal custody in
Philadelphia to face a probation viola-
tion charge that could send her back to
prison.
The Philadelphia Inquirer said a mag-
istrate ordered Monday that 28-year-old
Jocelyn Kirsch remain jailed until a fed-
eral court decides whether a recent
shoplifting conviction violates the
terms of her post-sentence court super-
vision.
Ahearing is set for April 29.
Kirsch was sentenced to one year in
jail after being convicted in January of
two felony burglary counts in
California.
That conviction comes six years after
Kirsch, then a Drexel University stu-
dent, was sentenced to ve years in fed-
eral prison for a $100,000 identity theft
spree with then-boyfriend and
University of Pennsylvania graduate
Edward Anderton.
Stowaway teen stirs
concern about airport security
SAN JOSE A 16-year-old boy
scrambled over an airport fence, crossed
a tarmac and climbed into a jetliners
wheel well, then ew for ve freezing
hours to Hawaii a misadventure that
stirred concern about possible weak
spots in the security system that pro-
tects the nations airline eet.
The boy, who lives in Santa Clara and
attends a local high school, hopped out
of the wheel well of a Boeing 767 on the
Maui airport tarmac Sunday. Authorities
found him wandering around the airport
grounds with no identication. He was
questioned by the FBI and taken by
ambulance to a hospital, where he was
found to be unharmed.
FBI spokesman Tom Simon in
Honolulu said the teen did not remember
the ight from San Jose.
It was not immediately clear how the
boy stayed alive in the unpressurized
space, where temperatures at cruising
altitude can fall well below zero and the
air is too thin for humans to stay con-
scious. An FAA study of stowaways
found that some went into a hiberna-
tion-like state.
On Monday, authorities tried to deter-
mine how the boy slipped through mul-
tiple layers of security, including wide-
ranging video surveillance, German
shepherds and Segway-riding police
ofcers.
Security footage from the San Jose
airport veried that the boy climbed a
fence and crossed a runway to get to
Hawaiian Airlines Flight 45 on Sunday
morning, Simon said.
That airport, in the heart of Silicon
Valley, is surrounded by fences,
although many sections do not have
barbed wire and could easily be scaled.
The boy climbed over during the
night, under the cover of darkness,
San Jose airport spokeswoman
Rosemary Barnes said Monday.
Hours later, surveillance video at
Kahului Airport showed the boy getting
out of the wheel well after landing,
according to a statement from Hawaiis
Department of Transportation. The
video was not released due to the ongo-
ing investigation.
At least 12 arrested at
San Francisco 4/20 party
SAN FRANCISCO At least a dozen
people were arrested, most of them fac-
ing possible felony charges, during an
annual, unsanctioned 4/20 marijuana
celebration in San Francisco, police
said Monday.
About nine people potentially face
felonies, including two accused of pos-
sessing and carrying a loaded and con-
cealed handgun during Sundays gather-
ing at Hippie Hill in Golden Gate Park,
said Sgt. Danielle Newman, a police
spokeswoman.
There were also multiple arrests for
possessing and selling marijuana or
opiates, and numerous other citations,
Newman said. Ofcers also responded to
four medical calls, including a seizure
and an overdose, she added. No deaths
were reported.
City ofcials estimated that about
15,000 people attended the of the
nations largest gatherings for the unof-
cial April 20 pot holiday, held coinci-
dentally this year on Easter Sunday.

Promoting healthy eating and wellness
is the idea behind a $25,000 grant over
two to three years recently given to San
Brunos Rollingwood Elementary School
through Microsoft and the American Heart
Association.
Microsoft donated the money to the
American Heart Associations Teaching
Gardens Program, which works to combat
childhood obesity by promoting healthi-
er eating and increased physical activity
by helping schools set up gardens on
campus. One third of U.S. children are
overweight or obese putting them at high-
er risk of heart disease and stroke, accord-
ing to the association.
We like starting young, said Camie
Sanchez, a community relations director
for the American Heart Association. Its
about getting education and awareness out
early. Not just treating it, but trying to
prevent it. Schools that have a need
that we can step in and fulfill.
Once a school commits to the program,
a schoolwide planting day is scheduled.
The American Heart Association provides
the materials for planting day, garden
beds, organic soil, seedlings and plants,
cooking demonstrations and other activi-
ties. The program offers schools curricu-
lum and tools, having students establish
their own sustainable gardens with sea-
sonal vegetables such as snow peas,
arugula and cauliflower.
This garden in particular will be used to
connect students with topics that could
include life cycles; animal and plant inter-
actions; companion planting; art;
drought resistant planting; building habi-
tats; changing environments; taking care
of living things; art; and attracting cer-
tain pollinators such as butterflies and
hummingbirds, according to the grant.
We actually want the schools to cham-
pion them, Sanchez said.
Meanwhile, the district is pleased with
the grant.
The grant is important because it repre-
sents another successful partnership
between our schools and community to
promote wellness through sound nutri-
tion, Superintendent David Hutt wrote in
an email. The district has received simi-
lar grants, although this is a significant
level of support to incorporate sustain-
ability with developing behaviors of stu-
dents.
Having a teaching garden will assist in
creating different outdoor teaching spaces
that would encourage students to gather
together to share, learn and discuss differ-
ent topics, according to the grant.
Sitting in a garden can be a powerful
experience, Rollingwood Principal
Leigh Schwartz wrote in the grant. We
would like to give students the opportuni-
ty to be still; observe the natural world;
think and reflect in nature; and connect
their school experience to real world
activities.
More than just reading about a subject
in a textbook, students will be able to
investigate, make judgments and explore
a topic in greater depth in the garden,
Schwartz wrote in an email.
The new standards are asking schools
to challenge students to support their
opinions with facts and to think critically
about what they are learning, she wrote.
Having a teaching garden gives students
access to a place they can try out their
hypothesis, learn through observation
and work with other students collabora-
tively on projects related to the garden.
The school began a recycling and com-
posting program this year focusing on
conserving and reusing resources. The
garden will also include composting
activities.
This is a great way to show students the
complete cycle, Schwartz wrote.

Healthy tab.

Charles M. Stone
Charles M. Stone died peacefully with his family by his
side on April 15, 2014. Charles was born on September 19,
1929 in Chicago, IL and moved to Butte, MT in 1932 where
he grew up with his brother, Arthur (who predeceased
him in 2009.) He was the son of John Buckley Stone and
Angela Maris Stone and grandson of Arthur L. Stone, Dean
of the University of Montana School of Journalism. He
was a graduate of Butte Central Catholic High School and
attended the University of Montana in Missoula.
In the 1950s, Charles followed his brother, Arthur, west
to California and settled in the Bay Area. He lived in San Francisco until 1975 when he
moved to San Mateo County where he lived in Daly City, San Bruno, San Mateo, San Carlos,
Belmont, and nally, Redwood City over the next 39 years. He truly believed there is no
better place to call home than the San Francisco Peninsula.
After briey working for Bank of America in the 50s, Charles followed his calling as a
musician and decided to make a career out of what he loved most: singing. He had begun
his work in church music when he was 12 years old when he lled in playing church organ
in Butte. Before long he took on the job permanently. His work in church music continued
until his retirement in 1997. He was also an operatic tenor of the highest caliber. During
the late 60s and early 70s, he headlined an operatic night club called The Bocce Ball in
San Franciscos North Beach area where he not only regaled guests (including Luciano
Pavarotti when he was in town, Jim Arness, the DiMaggio brothers (Vince DiMaggio took
singing lessons from Charles,) Carol Doda, and many other popular gures of the day)
with 10-20 operatic arias a night but also accompanied himself and others on the piano.
Later, he headlined Sunday and Monday opera nights at the Prime Rib Inn in Palo Alto.
He also sang with the San Jose Opera, put on many concerts throughout the Bay Area, was
a soloist with Congregation Beth Israel Judea in San Francisco, taught hundreds how to
sing, and worked as Director of Music at St. Roberts in San Bruno from 1980-1994. During
his long career in music, he sang in 26 different languages and always took pride in making
sure his pronunciation and accent were perfect.
Charles was very proud to have been a member of the American Federation of
Musicians (Local 6) for over 50 years. He believed deeply in workers rights to unite.
Charles was the devoted and faithful husband of Mary Pearsall Stone (Redwood City,)
whom he met while both were singing in the church choir at the First Congregational
Church in San Francisco in 1961. They were married for 45 wonderful years. Including
their seven year courtship, she was his true and only love for 53 years.
Charles was an amazing father to his son, Charles P. Stone and his daughter-in-law,
Jessica Stone (Belmont,) a doting and loving grandfather to Sophia and Sara Stone
(Belmont) who were the apples of his eye, a loyal, loving and stalwart brother to Arthur
M. Stone (1926-2009,) a caring and supportive brother-in-law to Martha Pearsall (El
Sobrante,) Zelda Stone (San Francisco,) Donald and Gail Pearsall (Spring Hill, FL,) and
Jane Pearsall (Spring Hill, FL,) an unparalleled uncle to Norman Stone (Grass Valley,)
Mark Stone (Colorado Springs, CO) Sandra Cianci (South San Francisco,) David Stone
(Brisbane,) Jennifer Sostilio (Framingham, MA,) and Brenda Pearsall (Spring Hill, FL,)
and a proud great-uncle to Michael Cianci (South San Francisco,) Erica Cianci (San
Francisco,) Monica Cianci (San Mateo,) Vince Cianci (San Francisco,) Jason Stone (San

Obituary
Victor Peccolo
Victor Peccolo, forever exhibiting courage and
strength, died in the arms of his family at his home in San
Mateo on April 17, 2014. He was 87 years old. Victor was
born in Conegliano, Italy, on September 19, 1926.
Immigrating from Italy to Canada in 1950 and then in
1953 to San Mateo, Victor was known in San Mateo simply
as Victor, the owner of Victors Shoe Repair on B Street
in San Mateo, which still bears his name today. Together
with his wife, Mary, they served their clients, many of
whom became cherished friends, for over 33 years. Victor
specialized in orthopedic work and often worked with local
orthopedists to help his clients walk more effectively.
Victor met the love of his life, Mary DeConti, in 1950. They were married in 1953 and
remained inseparable until his passing. In addition to his beloved wife of over 60 years,
Victor is also the cherished father of Carla Woodworth and her husband David and son
Robert (Maureen), who lovingly cared for him in the last years of his life. He is the adored
grandfather of William and Stephen Woodworth and Gianmarco, Giuliana, Caterina, Chiara
and Michela Peccolo. He is also the loving uncle of Elizabeth Barthe (Jean Paul), Albert
Perencin (Ivana), Claudio Bet M.D. (Diane), Paul Bet (Arlene), Paula Kein (Karl) and
their families, as well as nieces and nephews in Italy. Victor was predeceased by sisters
Benevenuta Perencin and Antonietta Bet, also of San Mateo.
Victor was a member of the Peninsula Italian American Social Club. A kind and
gentleman in the truest sense of the word, he is deeply loved and is now sorely missed.
We are consoled that he passed from our arms to Gods so peacefully. The entire Victor
Peccolo family wishes to thank the doctors and staff at Sequoia Hospital in Redwood City
who cared for him so compassionately over the past years, We are forever grateful.
Friends are invited to visit at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, April 25, 2014 and are invited to

Although his father is free on
bond while facing similar and
heavier charges, the son of former
San Francisco school board presi-
dent Keith Jackson was denied bail
by a U.S. magistrate Monday
while he awaits trial on murder-
for-hire, firearms and drug con-
spiracy counts.
U.S. Magistrate Joseph Spero,
at a hearing in San Francisco,
ruled that Brandon Jackson, 28, of
San Francisco, should remain in
custody on the grounds that he is a
danger to the community.
Spero said he was concerned
about allegations that Brandon
Jackson engaged in multiple gun
sales as well as a $25,000 murder-
for-hire plot. The never-completed
plot was aimed at a ctitious vic-
tim at the behest of an undercover
FBI agent posing as a Maa mem-
ber.
Spero said he
found the allega-
tions in an FBI
afdavit led in
the case last
month to be
chilling.
The two
Jacksons are
among 29 peo-
ple, also includ-
ing suspended state Sen. Leland
Yee, D-San Francisco/San Mateo,
and Raymond Shrimp Boy Chow,
charged in a wide-ranging indict-
ment issued by a federal grand jury
on April 1.
Keith Jackson, 49, of San
Francisco, a political consultant
who served as president of the San
Francisco Unied School District
Board of Education in 1997, was
freed on $250,000 bail by a differ-
ent magistrate on April 3.
Both father and son are accused in
the indictment of conspiring to sell
more than ve kilograms of
cocaine; participating in the mur-
der-for-hire plot on Dec. 13, 2013;
and two counts of selling guns
without a license to the same under-
cover agent on July 24 and 25,
2013.
Athird man, sports agent Marlon
Sullivan, 29, of Oakland, is also
accused of those counts and will
have a detention hearing before
Spero on Tuesday.
Keith Jackson is additionally
charged with conspiring with Yee to
funnel campaign contributions to
the legislator in exchange for
political favors for donors; six
counts of fraudulently doing so; and
one count of conspiring with Yee in
a proposed international arms deal.
After Keith Jackson was granted
bail by U.S. Magistrate Nandor
Vadas, prosecutors appealed to
U.S. District Judge Charles
Breyer, the trial judge in the case,
but Breyer upheld the release.

WASHINGTON Thirty years after fail-
ing to convince the Supreme Court of the
threat posed by home video recordings, big
media companies are back and now trying to
rein in another technological innovation
they say threatens their financial well-
being.
The battle has moved out of viewers liv-
ing rooms, where Americans once marveled
at their ability to pop a cassette into a
recorder and capture their favorite programs
or the sporting event they wouldnt be home
to see.
Now the entertainment conglomerates
that own U.S. television networks are wag-
ing a legal ght, culminating in Tuesdays
Supreme Court argument against a startup
business that uses Internet-based technolo-
gy to give subscribers the ability to watch
programs anywhere they can take portable
devices.
The source of the companies worry is
Aereo Inc., which takes free television sig-
nals from the airwaves and sends them over
the Internet to paying subscribers in 11
cities. Aereo, backed by billionaire Barry
Diller, has plans to more than double that
total.

KIEV, Ukraine Russia has days,
not weeks to abide by an international
accord aimed at stemming the crisis in
Ukraine, the top U.S. diplomat in Kiev
warned Monday as Vice President Joe
Biden launched a high-prole show of
support for the pro-Western Ukrainian
government. Russia in turn accused
authorities in Kiev of agrantly violat-
ing the pact and declared their actions
would not stand.
Biden, the highest-ranking American
ofcial to visit Ukraine during its con-
ict with Russia, planned to meet with
government ofcials in the capital of
Kiev on Tuesday. The vice president also
planned to announce new technical sup-
port to help the edgling government
with energy and economic reforms.
Bidens trip comes days after the U.S.,
Russia, Ukraine and Europe signed an
agreement in Geneva calling for
Moscow to use its inuence to get pro-
Russian forces to leave the numerous
government buildings they now occu-
py in cites throughout eastern Ukraine.
The U.S. asserted on Monday that pub-
licly available photographs from
Twitter and other media show that some
of the troops in eastern Ukraine are
Russian special forces, and the U.S.
said the photos support its case that
Moscow is using its military to stir
unrest in Ukraine. There was no way to
immediately verify the photographs,
which were either taken from the
Internet or given to the Organization
for Security and Cooperation in Europe
last week by Ukraine diplomats.
In Moscow, Foreign Minister Sergey
Lavrov rejected charges that Moscow
was behind the troubles in eastern
Ukraine and failing to live up to the
Geneva agreement.
Before putting forth ultimatums to
us, demanding fulfillment of some-
thing within two-three days or other-
wise be threatened with sanctions, we
would urgently call on our American
partners to fully recognize responsi-
bility for those whom they brought to
power and whom they are trying to
shield, closing their eyes to the out-
rages created by this regime and by the
ghters on whom this regime leans,
Lavrov told a news conference.
U.S.: Russia has days, not weeks to follow accord
By Albert Aji and Zeina Karam
DAMASCUS, Syria Syria called
a presidential election for June 3,
aiming to give President Bashar
Assad a veneer of electoral legitima-
cy in the midst of a civil war that
has killed more than 150,000 peo-
ple and driven a third of the popula-
tion from their homes.
The opposition and the United
States denounced the vote as a farce,
and a U.N. spokesman said it will
hamper the prospects for a political
solution. But Assads government
appears determined to hold the elec-
tion as a way of exploiting its recent
military gains.
The announcement Monday by
Parliament Speaker Jihad Laham raises
questions about how the government
intends to hold any kind of credible
vote within the deeply divided country,
where large areas lie outside govern-
ment control and where hundreds of
thousands of people live in territory
that is either contested, held by rebels
or blockaded by pro-government
forces.

KIEV, Ukraine Vice President Joe Biden on Monday
launched a high-prole visit to demonstrate the U.S. com-
mitment to Ukraine and push for
urgent implementation of an interna-
tional agreement aimed at de-escalat-
ing tensions even as violence contin-
ues. The United States will decide with-
in days, not weeks whether Russia is
abiding by the accord, a U.S. diplomat
said.
Its still too early to tell if this is
going to succeed, said Geoffrey Pyatt,
U.S. ambassador to Ukraine. The ball
is really in Moscows court in terms of whether theyre
going to take this diplomatic off-ramp. The United
States has threatened additional sanctions against Russia
if the agreement is not heeded.
Biden planned to meet Tuesday with government leaders
who took over after pro-Russia Ukrainian President
Viktor Yanukovych was ousted in February following
months of protests. The White House said President
Barack Obama and Biden agreed he should make the two-
day visit to the capital city to send a high-level signal of
support for reform efforts being pushed the new govern-
ment.
Biden will hold talks with Arseniy Yatsenyuk and
Oleksandr Turchynov, the acting Ukrainian prime minis-
ter and president. He also is scheduled to meet with legis-
lators from across the country and democracy activists
before returning to Washington Tuesday night.

SANAA, Yemen Yemeni forces,
reportedly backed by U.S. drone
strikes, hit al-Qaida militants for a
second straight day Monday in what
Yemen ofcials said was an assault on
a major base of the terror group hidden
in the remote southern mountains. The
government said 55 militants were
killed so far.
The sprawling base was a rare
instance of a permanent infrastructure
set up by al-Qaidas branch in the
country, Yemeni security ofcials said.
Built over the past months, it includes
a training ground, storehouses for
weapons and food and vehicles used by
the group to launch attacks, they said,
speaking on condition of anonymity
because they were not authorized to
release details to the press.
The assault appeared to be a signi-
cant escalation in the U.S. and Yemeni
campaign against al-Qaida in the
Arabian Peninsula, the terror groups
powerful branch in the southern
Arabian nation. The United States has
been striking al-Qaida positions in the
country heavily with drone strikes the
past two years, trying to cripple the
group after it was driven out of several
southern cities it took over in 2011.
But the group has proven highly
resilient, spreading around the country
and working from mountain areas. In a
show of the groups boldness, a video
recently posted on Islamic militant
websites showed the groups leader
Nasser al-Wahishi meeting openly
with a gathering of dozens of militants
in the southern province of Abyan.
The base is in a remote mountain
valley called Wadi al-Khayala in the
rugged Mahfad region at the border
between Abyan, and the neighboring
provinces of Shabwa, and al-Bayda.
The rst strikes came Sunday in an
assault a high-level government secu-
rity committee said was an attack on
training grounds for the group. Yemeni
Interior Ministry said it lasted for sev-
eral hours. Yemeni ofcials and tribal
leaders said new strikes, believed to
include U.S. drone hits, came Monday.
Another airstrike Saturday in al-Bayda
killed at least nine militants.
The ministry said in a statement
Monday that the strikes the day before
had killed at least 55 militants includ-
ing three prominent gures. It identi-
fied the three as Mohammed Salem
Abed Rabbo al-Mashibi, Fawaz
Hussein al-Mahrak, Saleh Said
Mahrak. It said identication of the
dead was continuing, and that non-
Yemeni Arab fighters were among
those killed. It said the strikes hit in
Wadi al-Khayala and two other loca-
tions, Lodiya and Ramtha. Tribal lead-
ers in the area said those are locations
at either end of the valley.
Yemens Supreme Security
Committee, which includes the presi-
dent, the defense and interior ministers
and the head of intelligence, said
Sunday the strikes targeted an impor-
tant al-Qaida training camp that
housed leading gures of the group.
But it gave no further details.

Letters to the editor
By Jackie Speier
W
hat if someone told you war
isnt real and its just a conspir-
acy for the armed forces and
defense contractors to get rich.
Swap out the word war for climate change
in the rst sentence and you have the
essence of my congressional colleagues
claim that climate change is just a left-
wing conspiracy. They say its meant to
generate funds for environmentalists and
their pet projects. Despite near scientic
consensus, most conservatives contend
climate change is hypothetical hogwash.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change conrms that the best way to limit
the damage is to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions and to start proactively plan-
ning for the impacts, which will include
more regional conicts over water and
other resources and increased poverty
throughout the world. In its latest report on
mitigating the effects of climate change,
which was released last week, the IPCC
says that it is not too late to limit warming
to tolerable levels but that to do so, the
world must act now.
Many dismiss the IPCC as alarmist at
best, and at worst liars. But the Department
of Defense, hardly a reactionary body, has
voiced similar concerns about the security
threats posed by climate change for years.
Just last month, in an interview with the
Boston Globe, Navy Admiral Samuel J.
Locklear III said that unrest related to cli-
mate change is probably the most likely
thing that is going to happen ... that will
cripple the security environment, probably
more likely than the other scenarios we all
often talk about.
What if we prepare for defense threats the
same way we prepare for or rather, not
prepare for climate change?
Heres a couple of quotes by deniers who
want us to do nothing
uttered by some of my
colleagues here in
Congress:
Rep. Tim Grifn (R-
AR-02): I am not con-
vinced that the problem
of global warming is
what the scientists say it
is. Particularly in light
of the recent research, that demonstrates
that there are a lot of shenanigans going
on with the data.
Rep. Jeff Denham (R-CA-10): Nobody
really knows the cause. The Earth cools,
the Earth warms It could be caused by
carbon dioxide or methane. Maybe we
should kill the cows to stop the methane,
or stop breathing to stop the CO2
Thousands of people die every year of cold,
so if we had global warming it would save
lives We ought to look out for people.
The Earth can take care of itself.
This absurd attitude pervades the GOP
side of the aisle but imagine if Congress
treated the potential for war in the same
manner. No one, on any part of the politi-
cal spectrum, would advocate that we treat
the defense of our nation in such a danger-
ous and cavalier manner. That is why our
lack of preparation for climate change
and the security threats it poses is equal-
ly dangerous. If friendly nations such as
Kiribati and Bangladesh were attacked by
Russia or Iran, we would be on high alert,
doing everything we can to help them
resist the invading forces. But when the
same nations are threatened with destruc-
tion, economic ruin and even (in the case
of Kiribati) total annihilation from rising
sea levels, we do nothing.
We must start to prepare for a warming
world in the same way that we prepare for
the possibility of terrorism by making
sure our infrastructure is secure and by
working to minimize threats as much as
possible. My district in San Francisco and
the Peninsula is severely threatened by sea
level rise, with more than 110,000 people,
$24 billion in property and a major inter-
national airport at risk. Thats why I organ-
ized the Meeting the Challenges of Sea
Level Rise in San Mateo County confer-
ence last December, and why I am planning
a follow-up conference this year. As
General Douglas MacArthur said,
Preparedness is the key to success and vic-
tory.
The Pentagon calls the effects of climate
change drought, oods, res and food
scarcity threat multipliers that will
aggravate stressors abroad such as poverty,
environmental degradation, political insta-
bility and social tensions conditions
that can enable terrorist activity and other
forms of violence.
We must start to treat climate change as
what it is a threat to U.S. security. And
we must not delay. As Gen. Anthony C.
Zinni, a retired Marine and the former head
of the Central Command, wrote: We will
pay for this one way or another. We will
pay to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
today, and well have to take an economic
hit of some kind. Or we will pay the price
later in military terms. And that will
involve human lives.
Every day is Earth Day and I vote we start
investing in a secure climate future right
now.

The role of art in San Carlos
Editor,
Maybe Ms. Miller, who defends some of
the publics right, and perhaps her own
need to use this (good, bad or indifferent)
public artwork as an object to be adorned
with expressions of community spirit and
fun has merit? (Letter, Response to letter
Ignore this art in the April 18 edition of
the Daily Journal).
However many San Carlans (and I believe
the artist) do not share her opinion that
this sculpture was initially intended to be
used as a kiosk, mannequin or billboard in
the Downtown City Park. Who has the
legal, ethical or moral right to change an
artists nished work? The rst artists
moral-rights legislation in the United
States, the California Art Preservation Act,
became law in California in 1980. In 1990,
Congress enacted a federal artists moral-
rights bill, the Visual Artists Rights Act
(VARA). It took effect June 1, 1991, ensur-
ing the artists right to the continued phys-
ical integrity of his or her work, even after
it is sold.
Under VARA, the owner of a work of
visual art purchased in the United States
after June 1, 1991, is responsible for the
work. If its distorted, mutilated or modi-
ed in a manner prejudicial to the artists
honor or reputation, the artist can sue for
damages.
If this sculpture was not purchased as a
work of art but instead as a piece of Park
and Recreation playground equipment or
t oy, my previous comments concerning
its safeguard do not apply; however, if
thats the case, the funds intended to pur-
chase a public artwork for San Carlos may
have been misappropriated.

Choice
is limited
Editor,
Letter writer Adella Harris attacks what
she terms the anti-choice Republican
Party (Womens rights in the April 15
edition of the Daily Journal). Even though
I am a Democrat, I must concede that my
party pretty well limits choice to one
subject. This lesson in semantics goes
back decades and can be traced to Gloria
Steinems insistence that no one is pro-
abortion, merely pro-choice. Harris
also notes reproductive decisions.
Wouldnt a decision involving abortion be
about non- reproduction?
James O. Clifford Sr.
Redwood City
Treat climate change like a security threat
Concrete plans
R
ain, rain has gone away and even
when or if it comes again
another day, the drought keeping
the state parched has settled in for the long
haul.
The only thing left to do then is water
the cement. Hose off the patio, make sure
the sidewalk is sparkling, put a little extra
pressure on those drops of sap and fallen
gum collecting dirt on the ground. Pick
your housekeeping poison; just make sure
it involves a
hefty amount of
liquid.
The idea of
washing down the
driveway with
nary a care sounds
foolish and down-
right selsh while
other communi-
ties eyeball elds
of dying produce
and communities
urge conservation
with citywide
challenges bearing rewards like gift certi-
cates and shower heads. How dare anybody
risk the wrath of the nosy neighbors
whove hung up their wintertime Spare the
Air replace police uniforms and perched a
jaunty water cop hat atop their noggin?
And today is Earth Day no less! Certainly
the threat of California, if not the globe,
turning into some sort of barren wasteland
straight out of every apocalyptic movie
blockbuster has to offer some motivation
to turn off the tap and turn on the sustain-
ability. Right?
Not so fast. No good goes unpunished
and when it comes to water rationing, the
people who aggressively cut back before
the government mandates are usually the
folks on the receiving end of the discipline
stick. The only way to ensure my house-
hold is allocated enough water to ll the
coffee pot, do the dishes, run half-full
washing machines and take leisurely show-
ers if the governor imposes rations is to up
the usage now. If the mandate is 10 or 15 or
even 20 percent lopped off across the
board, its better to have the original gure
as high as possible. The possibility exists
that rationing will be staggered in some
way to reward those already being thrifty
with their water usage or hit wasters with
higher bills. But thats hardly any guaran-
tee.
Billing and mandates aside, letting the
lawn and owers die as a water-savings
measure might not be too bad. My black
thumb leads most living things to reach an
untimely end sooner rather than later so
chalking it up to the climate rather than
my lack of domesticity is a bit of a win-
win. The ora meets its fated demise but
under the guise of a pro-environment sacri-
ce.
Other measures are also pretty palatable
shared showers, opting for wine over
water, justifying a car in dire need of a
wash, putting off the dogs bath yet anoth-
er week, buying new clothes to replace
those worn.
But while installing low-ow toilets or
adopting that whole color-coded ushing
system, sticking a bucket under dripping
faucets and swearing off bathtubs lled to
the rim might be good for the overall water
supply, it isnt going to do much for indi-
vidual allotments or pocketbooks unless it
happens after a gubernatorial decree.
At a certain point, after the graywater is
recycled an umpteenth time and greasy
tresses prove impossible for even the best
dry shampoo, there is nothing left to cut
back. All the methods to save have dried up
and the utilities are still threatening nes if
there isnt more.
The only way to cement future water con-
sumption is, Earth and land be damned, to
overuse now. Its not about rationing. Its
about rationale.

Big movers
By Steve Rothwell
NEW YORK The stock market
logged its longest winning streak in
six months Monday as another big
week for company earnings began.
Halliburton, an oil and gas drilling
company, rose after reporting a rst-
quarter prot on rising revenue in the
Middle East and Asia. Toymaker Hasbro
gained after saying it returned to prof-
itability in its rst quarter. A strong
earnings report from Netix pushed the
companys stock higher in after-hours
trading.
Close to a third of the companies in
the Standard & Poors 500 index are
scheduled to report rst-quarter earn-
ings this week, giving investors a bet-
ter picture about the outlook for demand
after the economys winter slump.
Stocks logged their best weekly gain
since July last week as companies start-
ed reporting their earnings.
I like what I see in the market, said
Karyn Cavanaugh, a senior market
strategist with ING U.S. Investment
Management. Its all going to be
about earnings, because earnings are
the driver of the market in the long
run.
The S&P 500 index rose 7.04 points,
or 0.4 percent, to 1,871.89. The index
has risen ve straight days, its longest
streak of gains since October.
The Dow Jones industrial average
climbed 40.71 points, or 0.3 percent,
to 16,449.25. The Nasdaq composite
gained 26.03 points, or 0.6 percent, to
4,121.55.
Halliburton rose $2.02, or 3 percent,
to $62.92 after the company turned a
prot in the rst quarter following a
loss in the same period a year ago. Last
year the company set aside money for
litigation over the 2010 Gulf of Mexico
oil spill. Hasbro rose $1.05, or 1.9 per-
cent, to $55.66 after its earnings came
in higher than investors were expect-
ing, driven by sales of girls toys such
as My Little Pony and Nerf Rebelle.
Stocks also got a lift from an encour-
aging economic report.
An index designed to predict future
economic growth rose in March for the
third month in a row, an encouraging
sign after harsh winter weather slowed
down the U.S. economy. The
Conference Board said Monday that its
index of leading indicators increased
0.8 percent in March after a 0.5 percent
rise in February and a modest 0.2 per-
cent gain in January.
The data are suggesting that we will
gain economic momentum, said
Quincy Krosby, a market strategist at
Prudential Financial. There is a sense,
more and more, that the economy wont
run into another soft patch this year.
Reports of a potential merger also
boosted the market.
Newmont Mining jumped $1.42, or 6
percent, to $24.95 following reports
that the mining company was consider-
ing a merger with Barrick Gold. The two
companies are seeking to cut costs after
a slump in metals prices.
Allergan, which makes the anti-wrin-
kle treatment Botox, surged in after-
hours trading on news that the activist
investor William Ackman was teaming
up with Valeant Pharmaceuticals to buy
the company. Allergans stock jumped
$28, or 20 percent, to $170.
This week though, investors focus
will largely be on corporate earnings.
McDonalds, Delta Air Lines and
Apple are among the 159 companies in
the S&P500 that are scheduled to report
earnings this week. Together, the com-
panies represent about a third of the
value of the index.
After an unusually harsh winter, Wall
Streets expectations for earnings are
relatively low. So far, most companies
are exceeding them.
S&P 500 companies are forecast to
report an overall 1.1 percent decline in
earnings for the period, according to
data from S&P Capital IQ. If that fore-
cast holds, it would mark the first
decline in corporate earnings since the
third quarter of 2009, when earnings
fell 1.7 percent. About two-thirds of the
companies that have reported earnings
so far have exceeded analysts expecta-
tions.
Stocks log longest winning streak in months

WASHINGTON Springs thaw is reviv-
ing the economy, too.
A recent batch of government and busi-
ness reports show a U.S. economy emerg-
ing from winters deep freeze.
Economists had expected the growth to
accelerate in 2014 after two years of slow
and steady improvement. But an unusually
bitter winter sent factories, hiring and
consumer spending into hibernation.
Now, as temperatures rise, the economy
is regaining momentum. Factories are
busier. Consumers are spending more.
Banks are making more loans to business-
es. Companies have bigger plans to invest
in plants and equipment. And the improve-
ment appears to be widespread across the
country.
The weather really played havoc. There
were ice storms in Georgia. That is not
something you see every day, said
Michael Dolega, senior economist at TD
Economics. Now, as Americans have dug
themselves out and everything has melted,
youre going to get a bounce back.
An index based on several leading eco-
nomic indicators including employ-
ment, consumer confidence, stocks and
interest rates shot up for the third
straight month in March, the Conference
Board, a business research association,
said on Monday. The indexs 0.8 percent
gain to 100.9 suggests accelerated
growth for the remainder of the spring and
the summer, said Ken Goldstein, a
Conference Board economist.
Many economists expect the economy
to grow at an annual rate of 3 percent or
more from April through June, up from an
estimated 1.3 percent the first three
months of the year. The positive econom-
ic news has sparked a rally on Wall Street
the past week. The Standard & Poors 500
index is up 0.9 percent for the year and is
near its record close of 1,890 set April 2.
Helping to drive the growth have been
recent increases in manufacturing after
tumbling in January. Factory production
climbed 0.5 percent in March, after a 1.4
percent surge the previous month, the
Federal Reserve reported last week. This
suggests that manufacturers anticipate that
demand from businesses and consumers
will increase.
After the winter slowdown, recovering
motor vehicle sales have boosted revenue
for companies such as Batesville Tool &
Die in Batesville, Ind.
We feel like the auto industry is all the
way back from before the recession, said
Jody Fledderman, the companys president
and CEO. The numbers we see are fully
recovered from then. We expect to see 4 to
8 percent increases in the industry overall
for the next three or four years.
Weekly government reports on unem-
ployment benefits show that most
employers are prepping for stronger
growth in the months ahead.

AT&T explores expansion
of super-fast Internet
NEWYORK AT&T plans a major expan-
sion of super-fast Internet services to cover
as many as 100 municipalities in 25 metro-
politan areas.
The service, called GigaPower, has a 1
gigabit per second speed that is about 100
times what U.S. consumers typically get
with broadband. That means faster video
downloads and the ability for more devices to
connect to the network without congestion.
AT&T currently has such speeds in Austin,
Texas, and has committed to offer the service
in Dallas. The company is also in advanced
talks to bring GigaPower to two additional
markets, Raleigh-Durham and Winston-
Salem, N.C.

as Google Fiber, is available in Kansas City

Valeant to bid for
Botox maker Allergan
NEW YORK Valeant Pharmaceuticals
has teamed up with activist investor Bill
Ackman in a bid for Botox maker Allergan
that could be worth about $40 billion.
Valeant said Monday that it intends to pro-
pose a merger with Allergan using a combi-
nation of Valeant stock and cash. The trans-
action size has not been disclosed, but
Valeant expects the cash portion of the deal
to be at least $15 billion.

SAN FRANCISCO Apple is offering
free recycling of all its used products and
vowing to power all of its stores, ofces and
data centers with renewable energy to reduce
the pollution caused by its devices and
online services.
The iPhone and iPad maker is detailing its
efforts to cultivate a greener Apple Inc. in
an environmental section on the companys
website that debuted Monday. The site high-
lights the ways that the Cupertino, Calif.,
company is increasing its reliance on alter-
native power sources and sending less elec-
tronic junk to landl l s.
Apple had already been distributing gift
cards at some of its 420 worldwide stores in
exchange for iPhones and iPods still in
good enough condition to be resold. Now,
all of the companys stores will recycle any
Apple product at no charge. Gift cards wont
be handed out for recycled products deemed
to have little or no resale value.
The offer covers a wide array of electron-
ics that arent supposed to be dumped in
landlls because of the toxins in them. In
the past seven years alone, Apple has sold
more than 1 billion iPhones, iPods, iPads
and Mac computers.
The new initiative, timed to coincide with
Tuesdays annual celebration of Earth Day,
strives to position Apple as an environ-
mental steward amid the technological
whirlwind of gadgets and Internet services
that have been drawing more electricity
from power plants that primarily run on nat-
ural gas and coal.
Technology products and services
accounted for about 2 percent of worldwide
emissions in 2012, roughly the same as the
airline industry, according to statistics cited
by environmental protection group
Greenpeace in a report released earlier this
month. Some of biggest electricity demands
come from huge data centers that house the
stacks of computers that process search
requests, store photos and email and stream
video.
These online services, often dubbed
cloud computing, collectively consume
more electricity than all but ve countries
China, the U.S., Japan, India and Russia.
As the worlds largest technology compa-
ny, Apple is trying to hatch more environ-
mental solutions than problems.

SAN FRANCISCO Netix is preparing
a sequel unlikely to be a hit with its sub-
scribers. The Internet video service is about
to raise its prices for the rst time in three
years to help pay for more Internet video
programming such as its popular political
drama House of Cards.
The increase, to take place sometime
before July, will hike prices by $1 or $2 per
month for new customers. The companys
nearly 36 million current subscribers will
continue to pay $8 per month for at least the
next year, Netix CEO Reed Hastings said in
a Monday interview.
When we look at the shows and movies
that we will be able to get if we have a big-
ger budget, its exciting, Hastings told the
Associated Press. We want to make the
service better and better so more people will
join.
Netflix announced the looming price
increase as part of a solid rst-quarter earn-
ings report.
Financial pressures have been mounting
on Netix as it grapples with the rising
costs of licensing compelling video for its
service.
The company has been spending more to
compete against traditional cable-TV chan-
nels such as HBO and Showtime, as well as
technology companies such as
Amazon.com Inc., Hulu.com, Microsoft
Corp. and Yahoo Inc., which are planning to
buy more Internet video programming from
Hollywood studios.

Chris Davis was 5 for 6 with four RBIs last week in Aragons sweep of El Camino. Currently on
a three-game winning streak, the Dons are now tied for rst place in the Ocean Division.
Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
After three series splits at the outset of
league play, Aragons mission was simple.
The Dons had to sweep a series to climb
back into the Peninsula Athletic League
Ocean Division race.
Mission accomplished.
Last week, Aragon swept a two-game
series from El Camino to extend its current
winning streak to three games. With the
streak, the Dons have made things quite
interesting in the Ocean Division race by
moving into a rst-place tie with Hillsdale
and Sequoia, all at 5-3 in league, with
Capuchino at 4-4 trailing by one game.
The driving force of the Dons lineup
against the Colts was Chris Davis. The sen-
ior third baseman went ve for six at the
plate with four RBIs and two runs scored. On
the mound, he worked two innings in the
series opener to earn his second save of the
year in support of a 4-2 win.
For catching re just when Aragon needed
it the most, Davis has been named the San
Mateo Daily Journal Athlete of the Week.
That was the hottest week Ive had so
far, Davis said. Just a lot of adjustments
mentally and physically I had to make.
Davis currently leads the Dons with a .410
batting average and 25 hits on the year.
After beginning the season batting leadoff,
he quickly settled into the No. 3 spot in the
order. And Aragon manager Lenny Souza is
impressed at how his hot-hitting senior has
responded to the pressure.
You get pitched so much tougher in the
three-spot and hes hitting .410 on the
season, Souza said. Hes handled every-
thing so well. He has a really simple
approach and doesnt try to do too much.
Every time I look hes on base. Hes been
playing a really good defensive third base
too. Thats whats made a big difference.
Hes been picking balls, turning double
plays from that side. Last several games
weve had zero errors and hes been a big rea-
son why.

support of right-hander Kevin Hahns

Athlete of the Week
G
olden State Warriors co-owner
Joe Lacob is no dummy. You
dont become a multi-million-
aire and owner of an NBAfranchise by
being dumb.
But Lacob would be a complete idiot if
he does not sign Golden State coach
Mark Jackson to an extension. Despite
seeing the Warriors grow by leaps and
bounds under Jacksons leadership, the
scuttlebutt is Lacob is dissatised with
the teams progress.
When Lacob and
Hollywood bigwig
Peter Guber wrestled
the franchise away
from the ineptitude
that was the Chris
Cohan era, he
declared the Warriors
would make the play-
offs in what turned
out to be Mark
Jacksons rst sea-
son. The Warriors
failed in those
expectations, but the
2011-12 season did set the foundation
that now sees the Warriors in the playoffs
for the second straight season.
But apparently thats not good enough
for Lacob, which is absurd. Rome wasnt
built in a day and neither is an NBAteam
built into a title contender in just three
years. It doesnt work that way and
Lacob, supposedly a sports fan, should
know that better than most.
When things you touch turn to gold
almost instaneously, Lacob is used to
getting his way. But this is sports, not
some hot Silicon Valley startup. It takes
time to turn a loser into a winner and will
probably take a couple more years before
the Warriors are true NBAtitle contenders
if they ever get that far.
The common thought among coaches
and those who follow sports closely is it
Warriors on track

BOSTON Some ran to honor the dead
and wounded. Others were out to prove
something to the world about their sport,
the city or their country. And some wanted
to prove something to themselves.
With the names of the victims scrawled
on their bodies or their race bibs, more than
32,000 people ran in the Boston Marathon
on Monday in a powerful show of deance a
year after the deadly bombing.
Were marathon runners. We know how
to endure, said Dennis Murray, a 62-year-
old health care administrator from Atlanta
who nished just before the explosions last
year and came back to run again. When
they try to take our freedom and our democ-
racy, we come back stronger.
The two pressure cooker bombs that went
off near the end of the 26.2-mile course last
year killed three people and wounded more
than 260 in a spectacle of torn limbs, acrid
smoke and broken glass. But the city vowed
to return even stronger, and the victory by
Meb Keezighi the rst American in 31
years to win the mens race helped deliv-
er on that promise.
On Twitter, President Barack Obama con-
gratulated Keezighi and Shalane Flanagan,
the top American finisher among the
women, for making America proud!
All of todays runners showed the world
the meaning of (hash)BostonStrong,
Obama wrote.
The race was held under extraordinary
security, including 100 new surveillance
cameras, more than 90 bomb-snifng dogs
and ofcers posted on roofs.

LOS ANGELES Blake Grifn scored a
career playoff-high 35 points without a foul
and the Los Angeles Clippers led all the way
in routing the Golden State Warriors 138-98
Monday night to even their first-round
series at a game apiece.
Chris Paul added 12 points and 10 assists
for the Clippers, who started the game on a
14-4 run and kept on going, maintaining a
sizeable double-digit lead through the nal
three quarters. They nished with a fran-
chise record points for a playoff game.
All the foul trouble that
plagued Grifn and Paul
in the Clippers four-
point loss in Game 1
belonged to the Warriors
this time.
Stephen Curry scored
20 of his 24 points in the
third quarter, when the
Warriors never got closer
than 25 points, while
playing with four fouls. Klay Thompson
nished with seven points 15 under his
average and four fouls. Andre Iguodala,
who fouled out of Game 1, and Jermaine
ONeal had four points and three fouls each.
Game 3 is Thursday at Oakland.
Los Angeles shot 57 percent, made 12 of
25 3-pointers, hit 32 of 35 free throws and
owned a 25-13 edge in fastbreak points.
The Clippers lead grew to a 37-point
bulge early in the fourth on a 3-pointer by
Matt Barnes, their only starter who played
albeit briey in the nal period. He nished
with 13 points. Danny Granger had 15
points before fouling out. DeAndre Jordan
had 11 points and nine rebounds.
The teams with a history of bad blood
between them jawed in the fourth, when
Clippers Hedo Turkoglu and Glen Davis got
into it with Marreese Speights of the
Warriors. Davis and Speights were called for
double technicals.
The Warriors frustration boiled over with
42 seconds left when Jordan Crawford was
called for a flagrant foul-1 for shoving
Darren Collison who was bringing the ball
upcourt.
Grifn had 21 points in 20 minutes of the
rst half, one minute more than he played in
the Clippers loss on Saturday. He fouled out
of that game, when Paul was also in foul
trouble and made several mistakes in the
Warriors set to return home following Game 2 rout

emergency ofcials reported no security threats other than some
unattended bags.
Kenyas Rita Jeptoo won the womens race in a course-record
2 hours, 18 minutes, 57 seconds, defending the title she won
last year but could not celebrate because of the tragedy.
Keezighi, who did not run last year because of an injury, won
the main event this year in 2:08:37. A38-year-old U.S. citizen
who emigrated from Eritrea as a boy, Keezighi wrote the names
of the three dead on his bib along with that of the MIT police
ofcer killed during the manhunt.
As he was presented with the trophy and golden laurel wreath,
The Star-Spangled Banner echoed over Boylston Street,
where the explosions rang out a year ago.
I came as a refugee, and the United States gave me hope, said
Keezighi, who was welcomed by fans chanting U.S.A.!
This is probably the most meaningful victory for an American,
because of what happened last year.
At 2:49 p.m., the time of the rst explosion, the crowd at the
nish line observed a moment of silence then broke into
some of the loudest cheers of the day, with whooping, clapping
and the clanging of cowbells.
This years starting eld of 32,408 included 600 people who
were given special invitations for those who were profoundly
impacted by the attacks, and almost 5,000 runners who were
stopped on the course last year when the bombs went off.
Today, when I got to that point, I said, I have to do some
unnished business, said runner Vicki Schmidt, 52, of
Nashville. She added: You cant hold us back. You cant get us
down. Boston is magical. This is our place.
Some of the victims themselves returned for a ceremonial
crossing of the nish line.
It was hard. It was really hard, said Heather Abbott, who
wore a Boston Strong sticker on the black prosthesis where
her left leg used to be. I was really nervous. I didnt want to fall.
... Im just glad we made it.
Tatyana McFadden, who was 6 and sickly when she was adopt-
ed out of a Russian orphanage by an American, won the
womens wheelchair race for the second straight year. Afterward,
she spoke of Martin Richard, the 8-year-old boy who was the
youngest of those killed in the explosions.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 20, is awaiting trial in the attack and
could get the death penalty.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died in a shootout with police days
after the bombings.
It was a hard last year, Lee Ann Yanni, whose left leg was
badly hurt in the bombing, said moments after crossing the n-
ish line. And were just so much better and stronger.

BOSTON The Star-Spangled Banner
played over Boylston Street in honor of an
American winner of the Boston Marathon.
One year after a bombing there killed three
people and left more than 260 injured, Meb
Keezighi added Boston to a resume that
includes the New York City Marathon title in
2009 and a silver medal in the 2004 Olympics.
Running just two weeks before his 39th
birthday, he had the names of the 2013 bomb-
ing victims on his bib.
At the end, I just kept thinking, Boston
Strong. Boston Strong, he said. I was
thinking Give everything you have. If you
get beat, thats it.
Keezighi completed the 26.2 miles from
Hopkinton to the nish on Boylston Street
in Bostons Back Bay on Monday in a per-
sonal-best 2 hours, 8 minutes, 37 seconds.
He held off Kenyas
Wilson Chebet, who n-
ished 11 seconds behind.
Keezighi went out early
and built a big lead. But he
was looking over his shoul-
der several times as Chebet
closed the gap over the nal
two miles. After realizing he
wouldnt be caught,
Keezighi raised his sun-
glasses, began pumping his right st and made
the sign of the cross. He broke into tears after
crossing the nish line, then draped himself in
the American ag.
No U.S. runner had won the race since Lisa
Larsen-Weidenbach took the womens title in
1985. The last American man to win was Greg
Meyer in 1983. Meyer and Keezighi
embraced after the race.
Im blessed to be an American and God bless
America and God bless Boston for this special
day, Keezighi said.
Rita Jeptoo of Kenya successfully defended
the womens title she said she could not enjoy
a year ago. Jeptoo nished in a course-record
2 hours, 18 minutes, 57 seconds. She is a
three-time Boston Marathon champion, hav-
ing also won in 2006.
I came here to support the people in Boston
and show them that we are here together, she
said. I decided to support them and show them
we are here together.
Jeptoo broke away from a group of ve run-
ners at the 23-mile mark. Buzunesh Deba of
Ethiopia nished second in 2:19:59.
Countrywoman Mare Dibaba was third at
2:19:52. All three women came in under the
previous course record.
American Shalane Flanagan, who went to
high school in nearby Marblehead, nished
seventh after leading for more than half the
race. She gambled by setting the early pace, but
fell back on the Newton Hills about 21 miles
into the race.
It does mean a lot to be that my city was
proud of me, she said. Im proud of how
I ran. I dont wish I was it was easier. I
wish I was better.
After breaking a 27-year American drought at
the New York marathon, Keezighi contemplat-
ed retiring after the 2012 NYC Marathon. But
that race was canceled because of Superstorm
Sandy, and he pulled out of the Boston Marathon
last April because of injury. He watched the race
from the stands at the nish line, but said he left
about ve minutes before the bombs went off.
He was the rst American to medal in an
Olympic marathon since Frank Shorter won gold
in 1972 and silver in 1976. His 2009 New York
victory broke a 27-year American drought there.
Marathon ofcials said 35,755 runners regis-
tered for the race, with 32,408 unofcial
starters. The eld included just less than 5,000
runners who were not able to nish last year
and accepted invitations to return this year.

the Warriors were before Lacob
and Jackson took over, the fact
they are a national darling is
nothing short of a miracle.
But despite making the playoffs
in back-to-back seasons, and tak-
ing San Antonio to the brink in
the second round last year, the
expectation of making it to the
Western Conference or the NBA
Finals was a pipe dream. Very
rarely do you see a team go from
the depths to the heights of the
NBAin just three years. When
Magic Johnson joined the Los
Angeles Lakers and Larry Bird was
drafted by the Boston Celtics in
1979, the talent pool in the NBA
was relatively shallow, allowing
those two players to instantly
transform their teams into title
contenders.
The more common path is the
one taken by Michael Jordan and
the Chicago Bulls, which needed
several years to nally get over
the hump, beat the Detroit
Pistons and go on to win six
titles in eight seasons.
Now Im not saying the
Warriors are on the same path as
the 1990s Chicago Bulls. What I
am saying is for one to expect the
Warriors to be in the Western
Conference nals this season is a
tall task and unrealistic, no matter
what Lacob believes.
Achampionship team does not
lose to the dregs of the league
like the Warriors have at times
this season, but that is what
growing teams do: they have the
ability to beat anyone, while at
the same time are vulnerable to
any team at any time as well. The
Warriors could have approached
60 wins this season if not for
some bafing losses. But thats
how it goes for a team that is
ascending.
So Lacob just needs to sit back
and enjoy this latest playoff run
and sign Jackson to an extension.
If the Warriors, in a couple years,
are still struggling to make the
playoffs and not getting past the
rst or second round, then by all
means, nd a different guy.
But when your team is appear-
ing in back-to-back playoffs for
the rst time in 25 years, you
keep your coach, not drive him
off because he couldnt reach unre-
alistic expectations.

closing minutes after the Clippers
rallied to tie the game late.
The Clippers got off to a 14-4
start, similar to their 12-1 start of
two days ago. This time, though,
the referees whistles were blow-
ing at the Warriors. Thompson,
ONeal and Iguodala all had three
each by halftime, when they
trailed 67-41.
Golden State had 33 fouls to 22
for the Clippers.
The Clippers outscored Golden
State by 11 points in the opening
quarter and by 15 in the second.
Curry got double-teamed for the
second straight game, and he
struggled offensively, making just
one basket and two free throws in
the rst half.
The Clippers second unit grew
the lead from 11 points to 21 in
the second, helped by consecutive
3-pointers from Jamal Crawford,
Turkoglu and Granger. The starters
came back in and had just four bas-
kets the rest of the quarter while
hitting 9 of 11 free throws to
stretch the lead at the break.
Thompson got whistled for his
fourth foul barely a minute into the
third. David Lee, who had a double-
double in Game 1, had 11 points.
NOTES: Curry got a technical in
the third quarter. ... Clippers coach
Doc Rivers and ONeal were called
for technical fouls in the second
quarter. ... Jordan nished third in
voting for the leagues defensive
player of the year. He was third in
the league in blocked shots, aver-
aging 2.48. Its a great step for-
ward for DeAndre, Rivers said. ...

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

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
The Golden State Warriors pro-
posal to build an arena along San
Franciscos waterfront has report-
edly been dropped and the team has
purchased a new piece of land in
the citys Mission Bay neighbor-
hood that will house the new arena.
Supervisor Jane Kim, whose dis-
trict includes Mission Bay, posted
a tweet Monday afternoon about
the arena proposal.
The new site near University of
California at San Franciscos
Mission Bay campus was pur-
chased from Salesforce.com,
according to Kim, who wrote that
the arena would be built in time for
the 2018-2019 season.
The waterfront site had been
modied several times in the past
year and included plans to build a
new 18,000-seat arena at Piers 30-
32, located between the Bay
Bridge and AT&T Park, in time to
play in 2018.
The Warriors currently play at
Oracle Arena in Oakland.
Opponents of the arena propos-
al responded to reported Monday
that the team was scrapping plans
for redeveloping Piers 30-32.
The No Wall on the Waterfront
coalition, which collected more
than 20,000 signatures to put
Proposition B on the upcoming
November ballot to ask voters to
limit building heights on water-
front property, is hailing the
Warriors decision.
The ballot measure, if passed by
a majority of voters in the pri-
mary election this June, could
have impacted the arena plan by
imposing stricter restrictions and
requiring a vote to allow for
height increases on waterfront
development.
No Wall on the Waterfront cam-
paign spokesman Jon Golinger
said in a statement, The
Warriors decision to abandon
plans to raise height limits along
the waterfront is good news and
the best argument yet for passing
Proposition B.
Former San Francisco Mayor Art
Agnos, a supporter of Yes on B,
said in a statement, The Warriors
have shifted to a smarter alterna-
tive because the people, not just
the politicians, became involved
in the process.
Calls made to Warriors and arena
project representatives were not
immediately returned Monday
afternoon.

Thunder 100, Grizzlies 86
Kevin Durant scored 13 of his 33
points in the fourth quarter to help
the Oklahoma City Thunder defeat
the Memphis Grizzlies 100-86 on
Saturday night in the opening game
of their rst-round series.
Russell Westbrook had 23 points
and 10 rebounds and Serge Ibaka
added 17 points and nine rebounds
for the Thunder, who nearly squan-
dered a 25-point lead but recovered
from a dismal third quarter to make
10 of 16 shots in the fourth.
Zach Randolph led Memphis with
21 points and 11 rebounds. Mike
Conley had 16 points and 11 assists,
Mark Gasol scored 16 points and Tony
Allen added 13 points for the Grizzlies.

LOUNGE
NBA playoffs
to cement last weeks critical sweep. Both
native San Mateans, Davis and Hahn have
played together since their Pirates little-
league squad with Hahns father Don as the
manager.
Known as C.D. by his teammates, Davis
is a self-proclaimed baseball rat. In grade
school, he dabbled in basketball and soccer,
but by middle school he made the decision
to play all baseball all the time.
However, this year is the seniors first
year on the varsity squad. And Davis made
a quick impression, hitting for three legs
of the cycle in Aragons opening scrim-
mage at San Mateo. But after starting the
regular season winning five of their first
six including three one-run victories
the Dons hit the skids, losing seven of
their next nine.
We were feeling [the pressure] and then
we came together because we want to make
this the most memorable senior year weve
had, Davis said. We want to make it to
[Central Coast Section playoffs] and to
make it as far as we can go.
But an injury to senior outelder Andre
Perkins to start the year played a factor in
staggering the Dons momentum. And
pitcher-shortstop Hahn was a late arrival
due to Aragon basketballs run in the
Northern California postseason tournament
and then also experienced downtime due to
an injury.
Now Aragon is getting healthy with three
two-game series left on its schedule, includ-
ing a big matchup this week with Hillsdale.
So, the Dons are keeping the strategy sim-
ple. The mission sweep, sweep, sweep.
Were at the point where weve got
[Perkins], Davis and Hahn in the lineup for
the rst time all year, Souza said. So, I
think thats the reason why youre seeing us
pick up. And hopefully we can get things
going and play our best ball in this home
Christian Poon, South City golf
Poon earned low-medalist honors in a pair
of Warriors win last week. He red a 9-over
47 in a win over El Camino to help the
Warriors keep the Honor Cup, the perpet-
ual trophy that goes to the winner of this
rivalry match. Poon followed that with a 6-
over in a South City win over Mills.
Alexis Luciano,
Mercy-Burlingame softball
The freshman threw a ve-inning perfect
game against Mercy-San Francisco, strik-
ing out four along the way, as the Crusaders
rolled to a 14-0 victory. It was the rst com-
plete-game victory of Lucianos career.
Erin Dougherty,
Mercy-Burlingame softball
Had five hits, six RBIs and two runs
scored in a pair of Crusaders wins last week.
In a 14-0 win over Harker, Dougherty had
three hits and drove in six runs. In a 14-0
victory against Mercy-SF, Dougherty added
a pair of doubles and two runs scored.
Aaron Albaum, Carlmont baseball
The Scots inelder had a huge week at the
Fresno Easter tournament, batting .625,
going 10 for 16 over four games.
Jesus Jimenez, South City baseball
Threw a complete game, six-hitter in a 5-
1 win over Crystal Springs.
Matt Blais, Serra baseball
The senior right-hander rolled to his
fourth straight complete game in a 6-0
shutout of Terra Nova last Thursday. Blais
threw 92 pitches while striking out eight.
Calvin Riley, Serra baseball
In support of Matt Blais shutout win over
Terra Nova, Riley made one of the plays of
the year with an outstanding backhanded
diving grab in the third inning to rob Tigers
slugger Ray Falk of a line-drive single.
Taylor Gomes, Terra Nova softball
The sophomore displayed good leader-
ship from behind the plate and also caught
Makena Borovinas key complete-game
victory last Friday. Gomes also got it done
with the bat with four hits in two games,
including a game-high three-hit day last
Wednesday against San Mateo.
Matt McGarry, M-A baseball
Went 3 for 4 with a home run, his second
of the season, in an 8-0 win over Half Moon
Bay. Came back with a two-run double in a
10-6 loss to Riordan.
Kyle Orloff, Serra track
The Central Coast Section's top 400-
meter runner this season, Orloff lowered his
CCS-best 400 time at the CCS Top 8 meet
last Friday. Orloff won the 400 with a time
of 48.86. He also nished second in the 200
in a time of 21.97, which is the second-best
time in CCS this season.
Maddie Price, Menlo School runner
Price showed just how versatile she can
be by nishing in a tie for rst in the 100-
meter race at the Top 8 meet. That's not even
her best event. She is the CCS leader in
both the 200 and 400 this season.

SEATTLE Right-hander Scott Feldman
has been placed on the 15-day disabled list
by the Houston Astros due to biceps tendini-
tis, a move retroactive to Friday.
Houston recalled right-hander Collin
McHugh from Triple AOklahoma City, and he
is scheduled to start Tuesday against Seattle.
Feldman, College of San Mateos all-time
career wins leader, is 3-1 with a 1.69 ERAi n
four starts, the last a loss to Kansas City on
Thursday during which he gave up ve runs
four earned and nine
hits in six innings. Porter
said Feldman felt the
injury while preparing to
throw a bullpen session,
and the manager said he
hopes Feldman will miss
just two turns in the rota-
tion.
Its obviously unfortu-
nate. Hes been our best
pitcher all year, Porter said. But at the same
time, I would rather be safe than sorry.
Feldman lands on DL

OAKLAND Donnie Murphy
lined a go-ahead single up the mid-
dle with one out in the eighth
inning, and the Texas Rangers ral-
lied from an early three-run decit
to beat the Oakland Athletics 4-3
on Monday night.
Sean Doolittle (0-1) allowed a
leadoff double to Kevin
Kouzmanoff and Mitch Moreland
sacrificed him to third before
Murphys hit. Murphy and
Kouzmanoff are both former As
players.
Neal Cotts (1-1) pitched one
inning for the win, then gave way
to Alexi Ogando before Joakim
Soria nished for his fourth save.
Brandon Moss homered and
Coco Crisp hit a two-run single as
the As went ahead 3-0 in the sec-
ond, but they couldnt hold the
lead.
Oakland swept a weekend series
against Houston and lost for only
the second time in nine games and
third time in 14.
Kouzmanoff also singled in a run
for the Rangers, who had their sea-
son-best ve-game winning streak
snapped in Sundays 16-2 home
loss to the White Sox.
Yu Darvish needed 29 pitches to
get through the second inning,
when he allowed Moss leadoff
homer and the single by Crisp.
Darvish allowed three runs on
eight hits in six innings, struck
out six and walked four.
The right-hander hasnt beaten
Oakland since May 16, 2012, and
is still looking for his rst victo-
ry at the Coliseum one of three
ballparks where he has multiple
losses. Darvish is 0-6 in his last
seven starts against the As. He
saw the end of his streak of eight
straight outings allowing two or
fewer runs, dating to last season.
Shin-Soo Choo led off the game
with a home run. He later left the
game in the seventh after landing
awkwardly on his left ankle
extending his leg to beat out what
was ruled an infield single. As
manager Bob Melvin challenged
the call, which was then over-
turned in 3 minutes, 45 seconds,
on review.
Oakland starter Dan Straily
struck out six in ve innings, but
left with a no-decision after the
Rangers tied the game at 3 on
Prince Fielders RBI single in the
top of the fth.

By Pat Graham
DENVER Charlie Blackmon
hit two of Colorados ve homers
and Jorge De La Rosa threw ve ef-
cient innings, lifting the Rockies
to an 8-2 victory over the San
Francisco Giants on Monday night.
Nolan Arenado, Wilin Rosario
and Corey Dickerson also homered
for the Rockies, whove won four
of the last ve.
De La Rosa (1-3) rediscovered his
rhythm, allowing ve hits and one
run for his rst victory of the season.
Ryan Vogelsong (0-1) never got
on track and was pulled after 1 1-3
innings, his shortest start with the
Giants. He surrendered ve runs and
six hits, including three homers.
Blackmon lined solo homers in
the second and eighth innings.
Hes now hitting .411 this season.
Arenado, who was moved up to
the No. 2 spot in the order, extend-
ed his hitting streak to a career-
high 12 games.
De La Rosa was on the same page
with Rosario all night, something
that wasnt the case during the sea-
son opener in Miami when the bat-
tery mates couldnt get their sig-
nals straight.
Vogelsongs shortest start of his
career was Sept. 24, 2004, when
he was with Pittsburgh.

SACRAMENTO Swan Lockett had high hopes that
President Barack Obamas health overhaul would lead her
family to an affordable insurance plan, but that hasnt hap-
pened.
Instead, because lawmakers in her state refused to expand
Medicaid, the 46-year-old mother of four from Texas uses
home remedies or pays $75 to see a doctor when she has an
asthma attack.
If I dont have the money, I just let it go on its own,
Lockett said.
The federal health care overhaul has provided coverage for
millions of Americans, but it has only chipped away at one
of its core goals: to sharply reduce the number of people
without insurance.
President Barack Obama announced last week that 8 mil-
lion people have signed up for coverage through new insur-
ance exchanges, but barriers persist blocking tens of mil-
lions of people around the nation from accessing health
care. Questions of eligibility, immigrant coverage and the
response from employers and state legislatures mean con-
siderable work lies ahead for health care advocates and of-
cials but cost remains a particularly high hurdle for low
income people who are most likely to be uninsured.
We think that most people will get insurance once its
affordable to them, said Cheryl Fish-Parcham, of Families
USA, a health advocacy group.
There are myriad ways people fall into coverage gaps.
Some are eligible for discounted policies but say they still
cant afford their share of exchange plans. Others earn too
much for subsidies. Immigrants living in the country ille-
gally cant obtain care under the law. Dozens of states
havent expanded Medicaid. And some employers have
reduced staff hours to avoid being mandated to provide care.
Im a nurse, but my employer doesnt offer health insur-
ance, said Gwen Eliezer, 32, who lives north of Asheville,
N.C.
Eliezer works an average of 29 hours a week at a nursing
home, so her employer isnt required to cover her. She qual-
ies for a subsidy but says the plan she found with a $200
monthly premium and $6,500 deductible is too expensive.
So while her 6-year-old son qualied for Medicaid during
open enrollment, she goes without. She pays cash to see a
doctor for gastrointestinal pain but says she cant afford to
get the problem diagnosed.
If I went through an emergency room, I can claim acute
pain, she said. But then Id end up with a lot of debt to a
hospital.
Before the launch of the Affordable Care Act, about 48
million people, or 15 percent of the population, went with-
out health insurance, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
The number of people recently enrolled includes those who
switched from previous plans, and its not clear how many
previously uninsured people are now covered.
The share of adults without insurance shrank from 17.1
percent at the end of last year to 15.6 percent for the rst
three months of 2014, according to a Gallup-Healthways
Well-Being Index released this month. The decline would
translate to about 3.5 million people gaining coverage,
according to the study.
Health advocates say their work isnt nished. California
has made huge progress with the new benets of the
Affordable Care Act, said Anthony Wright, executive direc-
tor of Health Access California. But theres more to do.
Hair salon owner Lola Smith of Palo Alto, in eastern
Pennsylvania coal country, said she couldnt afford a policy
from the federal exchange. Instead, she bought a cut-rate
plan for $148 a month that helps pay for hospitalizations
and doctor visits. It doesnt cover very much. Its just
basic, she said.
The plan doesnt qualify as health insurance under
Affordable Care Act regulations, and Smith expects to be hit
with a ne until she qualies for Medicare next year.
Immigrants living in the U.S. illegally are ineligible for
coverage. The Migration Policy Institute estimates that
more than 7.5 million people fall into this category and
rely on emergency rooms and safety net clinics. About 1
million members of this population are from California.
When I see there are American citizens who dont have
access to health care because they cant pay for it, I gure
that Ill have even less of a chance to have access to health
services, said Jose Diaz, a 67-year-old day laborer in
Pomona, Calif., who came to the U.S. illegally from
Mexico City nearly a decade ago. Its very sad.
Nearly 5 million low-income, childless adults are without
health care, according to a December survey by Kaiser
Family Foundation.
AMedicaid expansion could help close that gap, and the
federal government has offered to pay states nearly all of
the costs for covering individuals who earn up to $16,000 a
year, 138 percent of the federal poverty wage.
However, 24 states have opted against it, saying they
Affordable Care Act only chips away at a core goal

dont trust the federal government to deliver
on its promises and dont want to be stuck
with a program they cant afford.
Health advocates say getting those states
to expand would reduce hospitalization and
emergency costs across the system.
That affects all our pocketbooks, because
we all pay for uncompensated care when
people dont have timely access to preven-
tative care, Fish-Parcham said.

care who have aged out of the system is
important to the City Council, said Mayor
Karyl Matsumoto.
This is always high on our priority list,
Matsumoto said. We have a passion to do
everything we can to help them. The hous-
ing is available, so were putting it to good
use.
The residential units include 310 AMiller
Ave., 312 AMiller Ave., 314 AMiller Ave.,
311 Tamarack Ave. and 313 ATamarack Ave.
The countys Human Services Agency, or
HSA, will pay the city rent of $820 per
month for the one bedroom units and
$1,640 for the two bedroom units, while
providing a deposit of $250 per unit. This
amount is comparable to current below mar-
ket rents those units have generated, a staff
report stated.
HSA is forging new ground with the city
with this agreement, said HSA spokes-
woman Efe Verducci. Theres no template
for the agency to work off of for this deal
since this is a new idea.
Its exciting, she said. Its the rst city
weve done this with. Its a win-win for the
city.
The lease agreements go from April 14 of
this year to April 14, 2015, with the rental
period converting after that to a month-to-
month tenancy. There are ve one-bedroom
apartments available, along with one two-
bedroom apartment. While the program sub-
sidizes the youths rents, the youth are
required to pay a portion of the rent and are
provided with nancial training to assist
them to manage and save their resources.
The program also helps the youth nd jobs
and learn independent living skills.
They (the youth) havent been identied
yet, Verducci said. Theres a qualication
process to see if theyre a good t for inde-
pendent living and if its a conducive loca-
tion for them.
Meanwhile, Norma Fragoso, housing and
development manager with the city, said
this is a wonderful way to collaborate with
the city.
Its an excellent program, she said.
Were always interested in assisting youth
who need a hand.
HSA also has a property in South San
Francisco located at the corner of Orange
and Grand avenues thats managed by
StarVista. The county chose StarVista to
mange youth and the properties located on
Miller Avenue as well since the property is
well-maintained and there have been no
problems reported to the police about the
residents, the staff report stated.

any greater cost while also renegotiating
the agreement made to manage and lease
Burlingame Long Term Care Center.
The arrangement, which comes up for for-
mal supervisor approval at Tuesday morn-
ings board meeting, will save the Health
System approximately $312,000 annually
for its Millbrae Manor contract and $4 mil-
lion each year of the extended contract for
BLTC.
San Mateo County took over the troubled
facility on Trousdale Drive in 2003 at the
request of the California Department of
Health Services and operated it until losses
proved too much. Brius, LLC took over the
281-bed Burlingame center in 2012 after the
county planned its closure to save $9 mil-
lion. The arrangement saved the local
skilled nursing beds, hundreds of jobs and
millions of dollars. Brius is operating on
the countys lease while transitioning into
a stand-alone care home. Brius also commit-
ted to investing a minimum of $3.5 million
in building renovations.
Since the takeover, external auditors rate
the quality of care better than when the
county directly managed the facility and
patients move smoothly there from San
Mateo Medical Center, Health System Chief
Jean Fraser stated in a board memo.
The county also contracts with Millbrae
Manor, an assisted living center on
Hemlock Avenue, for $26,000 monthly a
rate determined by the more intensive insti-
tutional-level care needed for the mentally
ill clients but the facility went bankrupt.
After Brius purchased Millbrae Manor, the
county negotiated a new ve-year agree-
ment until September 2020 and will put off,
by a year, a loan made to Brius at the inter-
est rate of 3 percent per year. Brius will ded-
icate all the beds at Millbrae Manor to the
county through September 2020 as part of
the agreement, freeing the county from the
$26,000 monthly cost.

CONTRACTS
We look forward to PG&E being ned the
maximum amount allowed by law to send a
message not only to that corporation but to
the industry, San Bruno City Manager
Connie Jackson said. Individuals within
the corporation certainly had responsibility
for making decisions ... that led to the dis-
aster in San Bruno.
PG&E said in a statement the company is
holding itself accountable and does not
believe any employee intentionally violat-
ed federal regulations.
No individual PG&E employees have been
charged criminally. Prosecutors could le
superseding indictments naming individuals
if the investigation warrants.
We want all of our customers to know that
were working hard to build the safest and
most reliable gas system in America, the
companys statement said. The legal
process will ensure that all of the facts relat-
ed to this tragic event are fully reviewed.
Prosecutors allege that PG&E knowingly
relied on erroneous and incomplete informa-
tion when assessing the safety of the
pipeline that eventually ruptured and
sparked a reball that destroyed 38 homes,
killed eight people and injured dozens of
others. Nearly four years later, the neighbor-
hood is still recovering.
It is rare but not unprecedented for a
pipeline company to be charged with crimi-
nal safety laws.
U.S. prosecutors previously investigated
Olympic Pipe Line Co. in Washington state
after an explosion in 1999 killed three peo-
ple. That blast was caused by a ruptured line
that spilled more than 225,000 gallons of
gasoline into creeks running through a pub-
lic park in Bellingham.
That U.S. investigation ultimately result-
ed in prison or probation terms for three
company ofcials and a settlement requiring
$112 million in penalties and safety
improvements.

CHICAGO Despite recommended limits
on codeine use in children, the potent
painkiller is prescribed for children in at
least half a million emergency room visits
each year, a study suggests.
Use of the drug in that setting is hardly
rampant just 3 percent of kids ER visits
resulted in a codeine prescription in 2010,
the 10-year study found. But with more than
25 million ER visits by children each year,
the authors say far too many kids are getting
the drug when better options are available.
THE CONCERNS
Codeine is an opiate drug and a genetic
variation makes some people metabolize it
too quickly, potentially resulting in danger-
ous side effects including excessive sleepi-
ness and difculty breathing. The Food and
Drug Administration issued its strictest
warning last year about a rare risk for life-
threatening complications or death in chil-
dren given the drug after certain surgeries. It
advises using codeine for childrens pain
only if anticipated benets outweigh the
risks.
Another genetic variation makes the drug
ineffective for pain relief in as many as a
third of patients. Codeine was once com-
monly used for coughs, but the American
Academy of Pediatrics recommends against
that use because of the risks and no evidence
it relieves coughs.
THE FINE PRINT
Injuries and respiratory symptoms are the
top reasons for childrens ER visits. The
study authors analyzed 2001-10 national
data on ER visits for kids aged 3 to 17. The
portion of visits where codeine was pre-
scribed dipped slightly during the study. But
the authors estimated the yearly number of
codeine visits ranged from almost 560,000
to 877,000. Information on any side effects
was not included in the data.
The study was published online Monday
in Pediatrics.
WHAT DO DOCTORS SAY?
Dr. Kathleen Neville, a pediatric drug
expert at Childrens Mercy Hospitals and
Clinics in Kansas City, said its likely the
numbers have declined since the study
ended, given the FDAs black box warning.
Dr. Bradley Berg, medical director of
McLane Childrens Clinic in Round Rock,
Texas, said some ER doctors may have been
unaware of pediatricians guidelines on lim-
iting codeines use, or recalled getting the
drug themselves as children, when its use
was more common, with no ill effects.
Dr. Alfred Sacchetti, a spokesman for the
American College of Emergency
Physicians, says codeine can be safely used
in many children, especially older kids.
Children typically are monitored in the ER
after getting codeine and would not be sent
home with a prescription if they had a bad
reaction or it didnt work, he said.
THE ADVICE
Children on codeine who develop breath-
ing problems or unusual sleepiness should
get immediate medical attention, the FDA
says. The studys lead author, Dr. Sunitha
Kaiser, an associate pediatrics professor at
the University of California, San Francisco,
says doctors and parents should know about
codeines drawbacks and that alternatives
are available, including dark honey for
coughs in children over age 1; and ibupro-
fen or the opiate drug hydrocodone, for pain
including broken bones.
Kids get codeine in ER
despite risks, guidelines
Children on codeine who develop breathing problems or unusual sleepiness should get
immediate medical attention, the FDA says.
Bill would ban smoking
in home day care centers
SACRAMENTO Smoking inside home
day care centers would be banned under a bill
targeting so-called third-hand smoke that
lingers indoors.
The Assembly approved AB1819 on a 55-8
vote Monday, with some Republican law-
makers opposed.
The bills author, Democratic
Assemblyman Isadore Hall of Compton,
says recent research shows that third-hand
smoke can be a public health hazard.
Smoking already is banned in home day care
centers during operating hours.
Supporters say the danger comes from
smoke and cancer-causing compounds pene-
trating furniture, toys and other objects,
which children will touch with their mouths.
Hall says day care providers can still
smoke outside their homes if children are not
with them.
California would join 12 other states that
already ban smoking in home day cares. The
bill now heads to the Senate.
Poll: Big Bang a big
question for most Americans
WASHINGTON While scientists believe
the universe began with a Big Bang, most
Americans put a big question mark on the
concept, an Associated Press-GfK poll found.
Yet when it comes to smoking causing can-
cer or that a genetic code determines who we
are, the doubts disappear.
When considering concepts scientists
consider truths, Americans have more skepti-
cism than condence in those that are farther
away from our bodies in scope and time:
global warming, the age of the Earth and
evolution and especially the Big Bang from
13.8 billion years ago.
Rather than quizzing scientic knowledge,
the survey asked people to rate their con-
dence in several statements about science and
medicine.
On some, theres broad acceptance. Just 4
percent doubt that smoking causes cancer, 6
percent question whether mental illness is a
medical condition that affects the brain and 8
percent are skeptical theres a genetic code
inside our cells.

the San Francisco Bay were identied as
susceptible to a 100-year ood. The 100-
year ood is a FEMA standard for areas
where there is a 1 percent chance of a
major ood every year. No one can recall
any major ooding in the area and the
designation more than a decade ago
shocked the city and those in the new
ood zone. Getting nearly 10,000 resi-
dences off the ood map has cost mil-
lions through expensive public works
projects. Now the city is setting its
sights on the last affected area North
Shoreview and portions of North Central
San Mateo.
In the meantime, Newton and other
homeowners with federally backed mort-
gages contend with costly ood insur-
ance rates that can range from a few hun-
dred to thousands of dollars a year.
We were all pretty much in shock,
Newton said. I dont understand why
theyre focusing on oods only when
every area in this country is subject to
some kind of natural disaster. And I think
we, in our area, are probably prone to
more earthquakes than oods. I dont
know why every homeowner in the coun-
try doesnt have to pay something for
tornadoes, hurricanes, oods; theres just
so many disasters that do, and can hap-
pen.
She bought insurance prior to the
maps release and was grandfathered in at
about $300 a year. But her rates have
increased over the years; she paid $1,200
last year and expects it to increase again,
Newton said.
For those who bought their homes in
recent years, many were unexpectedly hit
with estimates nearing $10,000 per year.
Her story is one of many in the area
who are considered at risk and required to
carry ood protection and reduce the bur-
den of claims paid through the agencys
National Flood Insurance Program,
according to FEMAofcials.
There is a signicant risk for residents
of San Mateo County [Flood risk is]
based on a number of factors: rainfall,
river-ow and tidal surge data, topogra-
phy, ood-control measures and changes
due to building and development.
Anywhere it rains, it can ood and oods
are the nations most common and costly
disaster, according to FEMA.
But Newton said she is hopeful as the
city is initiating efforts to remove the
North Shoreview and North Central
neighborhoods out of the ood zone.
Time and money
It is a lengthy and costly process that
will involve city infrastructure improve-
ments at two pump stations and along
the Coyote Point Bayfront levees, esti-
mated to cost $22.35 million in 2009
and 2010, said Susanna Chan, deputy
director of the San Mateo Public Works
Department.
For North Shoreview, they are subject
to tidal ooding from the Bay and also
the water that gets trapped by the levee
thats supposed to be pumped by sta-
tions, Chan said. Our pump stations
currently, the capacity is not sufcient to
handle a 100-year storm.
Its a procedure with which San Mateo
became familiar in 2003 when it began
to remove the Shoreview neighborhood
to the south from the ood map. Funding
came from multiple sources including the
affected homeowners raising $7.5 mil-
lion through an assessment district in
which each agreed to pay about $75 per
year for up to 20 years.
The multi-million dollar Shoreview
effort culminated in 2012 and removed
nearly 8,000 residences from the high-
risk ood zone; but for another 1,200
homeowners like Newton, little
changed.
But the laws have changed; the
Biggert-Waters Act of 2012 threatened
grandfathered rates and required many to
obtain elevation certicates, while the
Homeowner Flood Insurance
Affordability Act of 2014 limits annual
premium increases.
The City Council listed this project as
a priority; still, it will take several years
before the majority of the homeowners
are no longer considered at risk.
High insurance
rates getting higher
For some, their FEMA experience
spans more than a decade, but for newer
homeowners, their struggles and rates
have increased exponentially in a matter
of months.
Anna Solorzano lives on the 800
block of North Idaho Street in the North
Central neighborhood. While closing
escrow in 2012, Solorzano said she
learned her future included rising ood
insurance payments. Her shock didnt
end there, this year she paid $1,000 for
an elevation certicate and the news it
brought was infuriating her property
was in the ood zone by mere inches,
Solorzano said.
I questioned it over and over again
but I was at the mercy really of FEMAand
I still am. Its whatever they designate,
its whatever they determine, Solorzano
said. Its been nerve-racking because
you dont know what youre dealing with
and as you start to go through these lay-
ers and still keep hitting walls, you come
to the conclusion its a bigger monster;
its out of your control.
FEMA rates inevitably increase.
Although her rst annual payment was
$2,500, she shopped around in 2013 and
found a cheaper $1,800 annual plan. But
this years annual quotes jumped to
$4,600 to $7,200 to $9,600 before her
lender found a $2,800 plan, Solorzano
said.
Shopping around helped Dave and
Dana Jordan save a bit on ood insurance
for their home and small cottage on the
1400 block of Monte Diablo Avenue in
North Shoreview. But they still scram-
bled to cough up more than $6,000 in
January for this years payment, Dana
Jordan said.
They were rst-time homebuyers in a
competitive market so when they came
upon their property in late 2012, they
jumped at the chance to move in, Dave
Jordan said.
Its one of those neighborhoods
where a lot of young couples are moving
in, people are xing up their houses. Its
nice, its right near the Bay trail which is
wonderful its one of the reasons we
purchased the home, Dave Jordan said.
We got lucky, we got in. From then
everything was great and then with the
ood insurance situation, that was a
major down point in the experience.
They knew theyd be in the Flood
Insurance Rate Map but, after closing
escrow and moving in, reality hit, Dave
Jordan said.
The 200-square-foot cottage that
seemed like a cute addition ended up
adding to the bill as theyre required to
carry insurance for both properties, Dana
Jordan said. The rst year they paid
$1,700 for both the main house and the
cottage. But when the Biggert-Waters Act
took affect, their rates were blown
through the roof. They spent $825 on an
elevation certicate and their rates
increased by nearly 200 percent, Dana
Jordan said.
Our (insurance) bill was unbelievable.
We were speaking to multiple insurance
agencies and quotes were coming in for
total coverage, which was around
$10,000 a year. Isnt that crazy? It was
far beyond anything we anticipated when
we bought this (house) and there was no
disclosure at all, Dave Jordan said. Had
we known that ... initial challenge would
have been something wed have to face,
Im pretty sure we wouldnt have pur-
chased this house.
This year, they paid $2,300 for the cot-
tage and $4,500 for the main house. The
latter amount would have been $1,000
higher but the provider made a mistake
and decided to give them the lower rate,
Dana Jordan said.
They have learned to advocate for
themselves, reaching out to city, state
and national policymakers to share their
story and ask for help, Dave Jordan said.
Newton said shes started a Facebook
page and has been working with the
Jordans and neighbors to try creating an
assessment district.
City assistance
Even though funds from an assessment
district would help secure a bond for some
of the improvements, the city has signif-
icantly fewer places to look than during
the Shoreview improvement, Chan said.
For Shoreview, the California
Department of Transportation con-
tributed more than $10 million toward
highway-related improvements and there
was access to redevelopment agency
funds, Chan said.
Neither are options now, but the city
will continue to look for grants and the
City Council is dedicated to the project,
Chan said.
Councilman Jack Matthews was
stunned when he heard Dave and Danas
story and quotes nearing $10,000 per
year.
[Its] just beyond belief so that cant
be sustained and we need to do something
to help these folks. So Im
behind that, I think the whole
council is behind that,
Matthews said. Were all in
this together, thats what gov-
ernment is about. The whole
idea of government is to work
for the best interest of the
community as a whole.
Dave Jordan said he agreed
and the city should be motivat-
ed to make the necessary
repairs not just to relieve
insurance burdens, but to help
protect the entire city should
the catastrophic ood FEMA
sets rates for occurs.
When you think of a com-
munity, I think of San Mateo
as all of San Mateo. And I
think everybody should be
concerned about the safety and
well-being of everybody in
the community, Dave Jordan
said. And obviously for
nancial interests, if housing
values go up in one area, itll
affect another. So in my mind,
its a win-win if the city fol-
lows through.
