San Carlos Mayor Andy Klein,
who took the position nearly a year
ago after the unexpected death of
Omar Ahmad, announced his resig-
nation yesterday, citing some major
setbacks in his personal life includ-
ing the dissolution of his marriage
and alcohol issues.
Its a lot of
things. Its alco-
hol, its my mar-
riage, its stress. I
havent been tak-
ing the time to
appr opr i at el y
deal with every-
thing and I cant
keep bulldozing
ahead. At some
point, people hit their breaking
point, Klein said.
In his resignation letter, Klein, 30,
said remaining a public servant dur-
ing this time is no longer feasible.
While juggling my personal and
public life I have not afforded myself
the time and care to appropriately
cope with this loss. I have made deci-
sions in my personal life that have
become detrimental to my health and
others. I have begun treatment to
address my situation and ask every-
one to allow me the time and privacy
to do so, Klein wrote.
Kleins resignation is effective
immediately. Vice Mayor Matt
Grocott will serve as acting mayor
until the City Council makes a new
mayoral appointment. The City
Council will also decide whether to
appoint a new member to the empty
seat to nish out Kleins term, which
ends next year, or leave the position
empty until the November election.
Grocott said he anticipates having
that discussion in two weeks.
Klein was elected in November
2009 in an uncontested race and
named vice mayor in 2011. That
May, Klein became acting mayor

Closing a school and even the

Event aims at breaking
costumed dog record
KANSAS CITY, Mo. A Kansas
City promoter hopes to break a world
record by parading at least 700 costumed
dogs, mostly Chihuahuas, down a city
street on Cinco de Mayo.
Promoter Mark Valentine says the
parade will introduce Chihuahuas to
their cultural heritage while helping a no-
kill shelter. Parade participants will pay a
$5 entry fee to benet the shelter, called
The Pet Connection.
Valentine says the Guinness world
record for most costumed dogs doesnt
specify a breed. He expects there will be
more than enough entries to break it.
The parade starts at 11 a.m. on May 5.
All canine entrants must be leashed and
in costume. Registrations will be accept-
ed onsite.
Airport stripper says he
was nude but not lewd
PORTLAND, Ore. A high-tech
worker who stripped naked at Portland
International Airport as a protest against
airport security screeners said
Wednesday he was being nude but not
lewd, and characterized his act of de-
ance as protected political speech.
John E. Brennan, 49, of Portland was
charged with disorderly conduct and
indecent exposure after taking off far
more than this belt and shoes during the
screening process before a Tuesday
evening ight to San Jose. The incident
report from the Port of Portland, which
operates the airport, said some passen-
gers covered their eyes and the eyes of
their children. Others laughed and took
photos.
Brennan, in an interview at his home,
said he did not arrive at the airport with
the intention of getting naked. He said
the Transportation Security
Administration crosses the line between
privacy and security. He decided to
protest after he was pulled aside after
going through the metal detector and a
pat down, he said.
Port police ofcers arrested Brennan
after he ignored requests to get dressed.
The most effective way to tell them
Im not carrying a bomb is take off my
clothes, Brennan said. My body should
not be illegal and I am not ashamed of
my body. So I just took off my clothes.
Authorities led Brennan from the
screening area with a towel around his
waist. Brennan estimated he spent about
an hour in a holding area before he was
transferred to a downtown Portland jail.
He was released late Tuesday.
Brennan previously criticized the TSA
and what he sees as its invasive security
measures in a tweet last May, saying
(hash)tsa violated my privacy today at
SJC. Headed home, went through full
security then additional pat down. They
wont provide doco of event.
In December, he tweeted: Violation
of my privacy at LAX. TSA is so messed
up.
Annie Lindstrom, a spokeswoman for
the Port of Portland, said two screening
lanes closed temporarily during the inci-
dent, but there were no ight delays.
This was not the rst time Brennan has
undressed for political reasons. In
Portland, the World Naked Bike Ride
attracts thousands each year to protest oil
dependence. Brennan said he has ridden
in the event three times.
Brennan booked an Alaska Airlines
ight to San Jose for Wednesday night,
and had no plans to protest.
Fake Bieber accused
of abusing girl online
NEWARK, N.J. Authorities have
accused a Justin Bieber impersonator in
Canada of threatening and sexually abus-
ing a 12-year-old New Jersey girl on a
video chat site.
Acting Essex County Prosecutor
Carolyn Murray says 34-year-old Lee
Moir of Toronto, Ontario, posed as the

he threatened to harm the girls family to
force her to perform sex acts online. Its
unclear if Moir used photos of Bieber on
his Facebook page, but authorities say
the girl realized it wasnt the singer dur-
ing the video chat.
He was arrested after an undercover
Canadian ofcer posed as a 14-year-old
girl online.

San Mateo County may be one step clos-
er to securing millions of dollars in state
funding for its new jail after a legislative
committee advanced a bill that would take
money back from counties who arent using
their grants and give priority to those ready
to break ground.
The bill by Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-
San Mateo, passed through the Assembly
Public Safety Committee on a 6-0 vote and
now heads back to the Committee on
Appropriations for consideration. If the bill
succeeds there, it then heads to the floor.
Hill called the lack of opposition a good
sign for future discussions although he
remains cautious.
The opposition doesnt really pass the
common sense test, Hill said.
Sheriff Greg Munks said he and the rest
of the countys jail planning team remain
hopeful about receiving state money, par-
ticularly with Wednesdays committee
action.
While its not a major development, it is
a step in the right direction getting the lan-
guage changed, Munks said.
Hill pushed his bill not only as a way for
San Mateo County to cover a large chunk of
the anticipated $165 million price tag for a
new 576-bed correctional facility in
Redwood City but also drive $1.2 billion
into the states construction economy.
Its good for the construction communi-
ty and our finances. The longer we wait, the
more expensive it is going to be to build,
said Deputy County Manager Mary
McMillan.
Hills bill requires counties return any
previously awarded jail funds by Aug. 1,
2013 if by that June they havent estab-
lished a jail planning unit and project
development team, completed a needs
assessment and plan, identified and pur-
chased a site and
received from the Board
of Supervisors approval
of the plan and scope.
Counties that meet that
criteria and were previ-
ously awarded funding
but declined, as did
San Mateo County
because of then-attached
requirements would
receive priority for the new allocations.
The funds in question stem from AB 900,
a bill passed in 2007 to relieve prison over-
crowding by building new facilities
statewide. Several counties given money
returned their funding rather than abide by
the 500-bed reentry facility requirement
while others remain sitting on the money
without actually moving toward construc-
tion. Current law does not require counties
to show need or an available site until 2017.
The untouched money provides no bene-
fit to states prisons or construction indus-
try let alone local incarceration needs,
according to Hill and McMillan.
The state revamped its funding require-
ments and issued another round of grants
but San Mateo County which had been
awarded $100 million in 2008 was not
even invited to apply in that phase.
Counties with a larger population and more
state inmates were given priority which
both Hill and San Mateo County officials
called punitive.
We acted responsibly in keeping low-
level offenders local rather than shipping
them off to the state and were punished for
it, Hill said.
McMillan said the county has directed its
lobbyist to work with other counties that
may be in a similar bind as San Mateo
County. Particularly with state realignment,
McMillan said other counties might be
more eager to get going.
Regardless of state funding, the county
jail is ready to break ground this year with
an estimated construction time of 35
months. The county spent $17 million for
parcels on Chemical Way in Redwood City
specifically to build a jail somewhere other
than the originally preferred, but debated,
site near downtown. Last year, a board
majority agreed to a hybrid design plan in
which three floors topped by 40 feet of
unfinished space for future use. Munks
envisions a nonprofit taking over that space
for rehabilitation or training programs.
The Board of Supervisors May 8 will
consider a request by Munks for building
and architecture contracts and some funds
for demolition.
Any money saved in the construction
could be a boon because the annual operat-
ing costs are estimated at roughly $40 mil-
lion. A third of that is debt service.
County Manager John Maltbie said dur-
ing recent preliminary budget hearings he
plans to come back in the fall with a financ-
ing plan.
Munks said another alternative to the
state sending the county money directly is
having counties borrow the funds them-
selves and have the state pay the debt.
Doing so would protect the state from
exceeding its borrowing limit, Munks said.
Hill said that method may also be good
for San Mateo County, if not other coun-
ties, because the state funding wouldnt be
freed up until at least next year after the jail
has already gotten under way.

Two arrested for shooting
four people with BB guns
Two men are in custody for shooting four people with a BB
gun in Half Moon Bay Monday evening, according to police.
At approximately 9:43 p.m., San Mateo
County sheriffs deputies were dispatched
to the area of Main and Filbert streets in
Half Moon Bay on the report of an indi-
vidual who was shot with a BB gun. Upon
arrival, deputies contacted the victim, who
reported being shot with a BB gun by two
unidentified suspects as they drove their
vehicle past him. Deputies received infor-
mation of two more victims, who were
shot with a BB gun, as they were walking
into a business near Main and Mill streets.
A fourth victim called, stating he was shot
at near a business in the Straw Flower
Shopping Center, according to police.
Deputies located a vehicle which
matched the victims descriptions, pulling
into the Straw Flower parking lot.
Deputies stopped the vehicle and contact-
ed the driver, Aaron Heath, 19, out of San
Carlos, and passenger Aaron Botham, 20,
out of Half Moon Bay. During a consent
search of the vehicle, deputies located a black BB pistol in
the rear seat, a box of BBs in the front seat and approximate-
ly 0.5 grams of marijuana, according to police.
Heath and Botham were arrested and booked into the
Maguire Correctional Facility for assault with a deadly
weapon and shooting into an inhabited dwelling, according to
police.
RWC police chief holds town hall meetings
Redwood City Police Chief JR Gamez will host four town
hall-style community meetings through the summer to allow
the community to meet others in their neighborhood and dis-

build trusting, cooperative relationships that are the very
foundation of a strong, safe community. We can only do this
if we talk to each other, and thats what these town hall meet-
ings are all about, Gamez said in a prepared statement.
At the meetings, attendees can meet Gamez and his staff

The Menlo Park City Council has
paved the way for Facebook to nearly
double the number of employees at its
headquarters in exchange for numerous
investments the company has agreed to
make in the community.
The City Council on Tuesday night
unanimously approved terms for an
agreement that will allow Facebook to
increase its current employee capacity
from 3,600 employees to 6,600, Menlo
Park City Planner Rachel Grossman
said.
Around 2,000 people currently work
at the property, which is located at the
intersection of Willow Road and
Bayfront Expressway.
In exchange for the expansion, the
social media company has agreed to a
number of projects that will benefit the
community, including improving bike
lanes and pedestrian walkways, creat-
ing an internship program for local
high school students, and making
upgrades to existing public trails in the
area.
Facebook has also agreed to make
several financial concessions to city in
lieu of sales tax, according to the
agreement.
The company agreed to pay
$800,000 per year for the first five
years it occupies the campus; $900,000
per year for the second five years; and
$1 million annually for five years after
that.
The company will also make a one-
time payment to the city of $1.1 mil-
lion for unrestricted use toward capital
improvement projects.
As part of the agreement, Facebook
said it will promote local volunteer
opportunities for employees in Menlo
Park and East Palo Alto, and create a
$500,000 local community fund bene-
fiting both cities.
The City Council is scheduled to
give final approval to the deal on June
5.

A man accused separately of stabbing
his girlfriends ex-boyfriend in the head
with an ice pick and, while out on bail,
leading a Pacica police ofcer on a high-
speed chase that ended with gunre set-
tled both cases for up to nearly a decade in
prison.
Arthur John Armstrong, 37, pleaded no
contest to felony assault with great bodily
injury in the November 2010 attack at a
Pacica beach and felony counts of evad-
ing and recklessly discharging a rearm in
the police chase last month. Judge Cliff
Cretan indicated Armstrong could receive
nine years and eight months in prison
between the two cases at a June 15 sen-
tencing.
Armstrong settled the two cases just as
he began trial for the rst and right after
being arraigned in the new crime. He
agreed to the settlements to willingly
accept responsibility, said defense attor-
ney Mara Feiger.
Armstrong was originally charged with
attempted murder in the Nov. 15, 2009
stabbing of a 39-year-
old man. Armstrong
and the victim met up
after they separately
headed to the same
beach area near the
pier to drink with their
respective girlfriends.
Armstrongs ex-girl-
friend is now dating
the victim.
The victim told
police the couples exchanged insults
before Armstrong threw a lit recracker in
their direction. When the victim asked
what he was doing, he said Armstrong
approached and began punching him
while the ex-girlfriend assaulted the cur-
rent girlfriend. After Armstrong and his
girlfriend left, the victim realized he was
bleeding and called for help just before 10
p.m. He gave a statement to police before
passing out and medics discovered he had
a slash to his knee and blood from his ear.
An ice pick was discovered in nearby
bushes. The victim was placed in a drug-
induced coma. The ice pick went through
his ear canal and touched his brain which
caused severe swelling.
While the victims injuries were signi-
cant, Feiger said there were many factual
issues that could be questioned including
who began the altercation whether the vic-
tim ever claimed Armstrong stabbed him.
While Armstrong was out on $100,000
bail, authorities linked him through cir-
cumstantial evidence to an early-morning
March 23 incident in which a Pacica
police ofcer gave chase to a gray Ford
Mustang speeding eastbound on Linda
Mar Boulevard at approximately 80 mph.
The car sped up further on Alicante Drive
and collided with a parked car on
Capistrano Drive. The driver ed on foot
into a backyard and the ofcer later
reported hearing two gunshots as he
approached. Units were called from sever-
al other departments but an extensive
search was fruitless.
The car was found to be an unreported
stolen vehicle, according to Pacica
police, and two days later a gun was found
two houses down from where the suspect
ed. The weapon had two missing bullets
and was apparently jammed by a third.
Armstrong was taken back into custody
on $500,000 bail in the new case and
remains in custody pending sentencing.

Lawmakers scrutinize $68
billion high-speed rail plan
By Juliet Williams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO A day after a highly critical report on a
$68.4 billion high-speed rail proposal, Democrats who control
the Legislature said they remained committed to the project
while the chairman of the authority that would oversee con-
struction said its still a risk worth taking.
On Wednesday, lawmakers began evaluating the latest pro-
posal from the California High-Speed Rail Authority in Senate
and Assembly hearings. They are considering Gov. Jerry
Browns request to sell about $2.6 billion in voter-approved
bonds to begin construction.
The Legislative Analysts Ofce on Tuesday urged lawmak-
ers to reject the plan because it relies on highly speculative
nancing.
Dan Richard, chairman of the rail authority board, urged
lawmakers not to forego $3.3 billion in federal matching
money available for the project. President Barack Obamas
administration has offered the money for construction of the
rst segment in the Central Valley.
The latest business plan trimmed last years cost estimate of
$98 billion but leaves it well above the $45 billion gure given
to voters in 2008 when they approved selling nearly $10 billion
in bonds.
Brian Weatherford, an analyst who wrote the report criticiz-
ing the latest funding proposal, said lawmakers are being asked
to approve funding while some of the details still arent
worked out, which increases the risk.
Richard countered that the report only looked at the contin-
uing risks of building a 520-mile system linking Northern and
Southern California and failed to consider the states infra-
structure needs in the coming years.
There is a risk that what we have to do to maintain mobili-
ty will cost more. I only ask that we balance those risks, he
said.
The latest proposal for the system linking San Francisco and
Anaheim estimates completion in 2028 and relies extensively
on using existing commuter rail tracks to cut costs.
No charges in death of girl, 10, after fight
LONG BEACH An 11-year-old girl wont be charged in
the death of a 10-year-old schoolmate she fought with hours
before the younger girl died.
The death of Joanna Ramos came after a ght between two
children that ended with unintended and tragic results, but no
crime was committed, the Long Beach Police Department said
in a statement.
Police referred all inquiries to the district attorneys ofce.
District attorney spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said her ofce
could not comment on the decision because the case involved
a juvenile.
Joanna was pronounced dead on Feb. 24, about six hours
after she tussled with another girl in an alley near her elemen-
tary school after classes ended.
Her mother, Cecilia Villanueva, said ofcials met with the
family Wednesday morning, but she still knows few details
about the ght and chose not to ask because it was too painful.
Theres nothing they can do thats going to bring my
daughter back, nothing. Theres nothing I can do, she said,
choking back tears.
Probe: Official inflated SAT scores on his own
LOS ANGELES An investigation has shown that a
Claremont McKenna College administrator doctored incom-
ing freshmens SAT scores and other statistics in an effort to
make the school appear more selective.
The probe by law rm OMelveny & Myers shows aggre-
gate scores and class ranking data were altered in the data
hyping uncovered in January.
The investigation also revealed that former vice president
for admission and nancial aid Richard Vos said he was
responding to pressure from school president Pamela Gann to
make the college more selective and did not intend to boost its
ranking in U.S. News & World Report listings.
The college-contracted law rm says Gann did not push Vos
to take unethical actions.
Vos did not immediately return a call for comment.

GSA watchdog says
employees are reporting abuse
WASHINGTON The General Services
Administrations internal watchdog said
Wednesday that employees are heeding his call
to report wrongdoing and messages on his hot-
line have triggered new investigations beyond
an $823,000 Las Vegas conference and junkets
to resorts.
I dont know what were going to nd but it
has not been pretty, Inspector General Brian
Miller told the Senate Environment and Public
Works Committee.
Miller previously revealed that GSA ofcials
in Western states went on taxpayer-nanced
junkets to Hawaii, South Pacific islands,
Californias Napa Valley and Palm Springs;
stayed in resort hotel suites, and threw lavish
parties. His April 2 report detailed how four
Western regions partied at their Las Vegas con-
ference in 2010, which featured a clown, a
mind-reader, a team-building exercise to build
bicycles and a rap video making fun of the
spending.
Miller previously said that employees would
not blow the whistle on the misconduct
because they believed they would be squashed
like a bug for doing so.
Recruitment ads by
for-profit colleges targeted
WASHINGTON Where do for-prot col-
leges get the money they spend on all those
highway billboards and television and radio
ads?
Mostly from the government, at least indi-
rectly. Federal money, most of it through the
nancial aid that students get, accounts for up
to 90 percent of for-prot colleges revenue
even more in some cases if veterans attend the
school on the GI bill.
And while gures vary, some institutions
spend a quarter or more of their revenue on
recruiting, far more than traditional colleges. In
some cases, recruiting expenses approach what
these institutions spend on instruction.

SACRAMENTO California lawmakers
took their first major step Wednesday to
address fallout from a bizarre sex abuse case
involving a teacher accused of feeding
blindfolded students his semen when a
state Senate panel approved legislation aimed
at making it easier to re public school teach-
ers.
The bill, which would enable school boards
to dismiss teachers rather than leave the deci-
sion to a disciplinary commission, is opposed
by union leaders who say it is an attack on
teachers that undermines their due process
rights.
Lawmakers took up the bill amid outrage
from parents in the wake of the case involving
longtime Miramonte Elementary School
teacher Mark Berndt, who was arrested in
January and placed on paid leave. He has
pleaded not guilty to 23 counts of lewdness on
a child and remains in jail.
We need to address the problem of serious
misconduct when these awful things take
place, said Los Angeles
Unified Superintendent
John Deasy, who testied
in favor of legislation
approved by the Senate
Education Committee.
Local school boards
would have the authority
to re teachers accused of
violent, sex or drug
offenses involving chil-
dren under the bill by Sen. Alex Padilla, D-
Los Angeles.
It was prompted by the case of Berndt who,
prosecutors say, made students play a bizarre
tasting game, blindfolding and feeding them
his semen on cookies and spoons from 2005
to 2008.
Existing state laws allow school districts to
remove accused teachers from the classroom
and eventually re them while observing pro-
cedural safeguards, they testied.
Teachers are under attack, said Ken Tray,
who was representing the California
Federation of Teachers. He said recent high-
prole incidents involving a few teachers have
created a cloud of hysteria reminding one
almost of the Salem witch hunts.
Teacher ring decisions should not be left to
school boards, he said, because they are high-
ly politicized and under pressure to side with
angry parents and the community.
Padilla said his SB1530 lets school boards
act quickly without undermining teachers
rights. He said dismissals currently can take
up to ve years.
The bill would lift a current prohibition on
considering evidence of wrongdoing that
dates back more than four years, but only in
cases of serious and egregious conduct involv-
ing sexual, drug or violent crimes involving
children. Those disciplinary charges would be
reviewed by an administrative law judge, who
would make a recommendation to the school
board for a nal decision. A dismissed teacher
could still le an appeal in court, as under cur-
rent law.
There were complaints of sexual miscon-
duct against Berndt as long ago as 1994, but
the earlier investigations did not result in any
action and the complaints were put into an
expired le.
Bill would make it easier to fire teachers

NEW YORK Should students and teach-
ers ever be friends on Facebook? School dis-
tricts across the country, including the nations
largest, are weighing that question as they
seek to balance the risks of inappropriate con-
tact with the academic benets of social net-
working.
At least 40 school districts nationwide have
approved social media policies. Schools in
New York City and Florida have disciplined
teachers for Facebook activity, and Missouri
legislators recently acquiesced to teachers
objections to a strict statewide policy.
In the New York cases, one teacher friended
several female students and wrote comments
including this is sexy under their photos,
investigators said. A substitute teacher sent a
message to a student saying that her boyfriend
did not deserve a beautiful girl like you.
Such behavior clearly oversteps boundaries,
but some teachers say social media in par-
ticular Facebook can be a vital educational
resource if used appropriately, especially
because its a primary means of communica-
tion for todays youngsters.
Email is becoming a dinosaur, said David
Roush, who teaches media communications
and television production at a Bronx high
school. Letters home are becoming a
dinosaur. The old methods of engaging our
students and our parents are starting to die.
New York Chancellor Dennis Walcott plans
to release social media guidelines this month,
saying recently that teachers dont want to be
put in a situation that could either compromise
them or be misinterpreted.
Roush does not accept students as friends
on his personal Facebook page but has created
a separate prole to communicate with them
something that runs afoul of Facebook
rules restricting users to a single prole. He
used the page to get the word out quickly
about a summer internship on a cable-access
show, and a student who learned about it from
the Facebook post won it.

WASHINGTON Moving swiftly,
the Secret Service forced out three agents
Wednesday in a prostitution scandal that
has embarrassed President Barack
Obama. A senior congressman welcomed
the move to hold people responsible for
the tawdry episode but warned its not
over.
The agency announced three agents are
leaving the service even as separate U.S.
government investigations were under
way.
The Secret Service did not identify the
agents being forced out of the government
or eight more it said remain on adminis-
trative leave. In a statement, it said one
supervisor was allowed to retire and
another will be red for cause. A third
employee, who was not a supervisor, has
resigned.
The agents were implicated in the pros-
titution scandal in Colombia that also
involved about 10 military service mem-
bers and as many as 20 women. All the
Secret Service employees who were
involved had their security clearances
revoked.
These are the rst steps, said Rep.
Pete King, R-N.Y., chairman of the House
Homeland Security Committee, which
oversees the Secret Service. King said the
agencys director, Mark Sullivan, took
employment action against the three peo-
ple he believes the case was clearest
against. But King warned: Its certainly
not over.
King said the agent set to be red would
sue. King said Sullivan had to follow col-
lective bargaining rules but was moving
as quickly as he can. Once he feels the
facts are clear, hes going to move.
The embarrassing scandal erupted last
week after 11 Secret Service agents were
sent home from the colonial-era city of
Cartagena on Colombias Caribbean coast
after a night of partying that reportedly
ended with at least some of them bringing
prostitutes back to their hotel. The special
agents and uniformed ofcers were in
Colombia in advance of President Barack
Obamas arrival for the Summit of the
Americas.
A White House ofcial said Wednesday
night that Obama had not spoken directly
to Sullivan since the incident unfolded late
last week. Obamas senior aides are in
close contact with Sullivan and the
agencys leadership, said the ofcial, who
requested anonymity because they were
not authorized to speak publicly.
In Washington and Colombia, separate
U.S. government investigations were
already under way. King said he has
assigned four congressional investigators
to the probe. The House Committee on
Oversight and Government Reform, led
by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., sought
details of the Secret Service investigation,
including the disciplinary histories of the
agents involved. Secret Service investiga-
tors are in Colombia interviewing wit-
nesses.

Man in abortion murder plot released
The week of April 20, 2007, prosecutors dropped attempted
murder charges against a 27-year-old San Bruno man who
told a hospital psychiatrist he drove to a Planned Parenthood
with a loaded gun to shoot the doctor who performed an
abortion on his girlfriend but left before exiting the vehicle.
Instead, Joel Joseph Robison pleaded no contest to felony
attempted commercial burglary and misdemeanor possession
of a rearm in public.
Robisons arrest nabbed national attention because of its
connection to the controversial topic of abortion and sparked
debate about whether attempted murder charges were appro-
priate. Unlike a murder charge, attempted murder requires a
suspect to have an intent to kill.

In defense of Foust
Editor,
This letter is in regard to Marsha
Cohens letter Rosanne Foust has a seri-
ous conict in the April 17 edition of
the Daily Journal. Marsha, Marsha,
Marsha. So much rhetoric; so little sub-
stance. And so similar in tone and con-
tent to another letter writer in another
local publication that one wonders if you
both were working off the same script. It
certainly wouldnt be the rst time.
Ms. Foust has consistently recused
herself and left the council chambers
whenever there has been a discussion
regarding the Saltworks. And, by the
way, there currently is no Saltworks proj-
ect pending before the council. DMB
Pacic Ventures pulled back their pro-
posal and are reworking it in light of the
volume of public comments received
during last years scoping sessions. You
mention Ms Fousts Fair Political
Practice Commission (FPPC) issue of
two years ago. I would point out that the
FPPC issued an advisory not a warn-
ing and no nes or penalties were
assessed. Ms. Foust was acting on advice
received from the city attorney.
I am at a loss to understand how you
can categorize Ms. Fousts asking her
council colleagues to consider an adviso-
ry vote as being a conict of interest or
unethical. Perhaps you dont have a good
understanding of either of those terms.

Redwood City
Foust, Cargill and
substantial risks
Editor,
It is troubling to learn that Redwood
City Councilwoman Rosanne Foust is
back once again, pushing for Cargills
Saltworks development, suggesting the
City Council ask people to vote on the
substantial benets of Saltworks.
How about the substantial risks? The
Ofce of Emergency Services considers
an earthquake-triggered failure of levees
on the Bay side of San Mateo County to
be the largest potential natural disaster
facing San Mateo County (surpassing
even Katrina) with fatality estimates that
could exceed ve gures. That is tens of
thousands of lives; not counting the bil-
lions in costs of property and infrastruc-
ture damage.
Prudence dictates that we should not
be adding homes below sea level, putting
thousands more lives and property at
risk, when levees are particularly vulner-
able in our highly seismic zone. Levees
failure caused by liquefaction of underly-
ing Bay ll can easily cause the levees to
slough, sink and fail in a quake, when
the soil loses all its strength.
In the recent Fukushima quake, the
levees and sea walls sank more than
three feet due to the quake. In
Christchurch, New Zealand, buildings
and cars simply sank into the liqueed
ground. Ofcials cannot close their eyes
and say it will not happen here.

Our post office vision,

With now less than 15 days to inter-
vene in the undemocratic, rushed sale
of the Burlingame post ofce to the
highest bidder, it is deeply troubling

miss the multiple concerns that were
expressed by the public in attendance at

Monday night (in response to
Burlingame gathers input for post
ofce relocation in the April 17 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal). Your reporter
completely omitted the voices of local
residents who want to have a say in the
fate of our beloved historic postal
ofce. It is also worth noting here that
Councilwoman Terry Nagel said noth-
ing in support of a community-spon-
sored re-use or revitalization vision.
In addition to my call for a commu-
nity group to challenge the City
Council and private developer process
now in place, citizens also need to peti-
tion the USPS ofcials and their con-
sultants for an extension so the public
can develop their plans for the property.
The time is now to organize and dis-
cuss a possible lease-back, community-
based program for our post ofce.

Letters to the editor
By Ian Bain
I
m dismayed by some of the let-
ters Ive been seeing about a
potential advisory vote on the pro-
posed Saltworks project. Some of the
letters have taken aim at my colleague
Rosanne Foust. I have worked with her
for many years, and though we dont
always agree, I have found her to be a
dedicated public servant who is doing
what she believes is best for the com-
munity. This kind of politics of person-
al destruction has no place in Redwood
City and needs to stop. Lets talk about
the issue at hand.
Although I was not the one who pro-
posed it, an advisory vote is something
Ive been thinking about for a long
time. Many of us have not taken a posi-
tion on the proposed project because of
our role sitting on the body that will
decide its fate. I liken it to a judge say-
ing how he will rule on a case before
all the evidence has been presented.
This is not out of respect for the proj-
ect, but out of respect for the process.
Whats different about this proposal
is that we do not have to consider it.
The land that Cargill owns, and the
DMB hopes to
build on, is not
zoned for housing,
meaning that the
Council would have
to make a zoning
change for some-
thing to be built.
Its a different situ-
ation than a propos-
al that meets current zoning, which
would have to be considered. In this
case, the City Council has the right to
stop consideration of the project. If a
public vote shows that a majority of
residents opposes development, then
that sends a clear message. By the
same token, if the public wants to
continue a process for evaluating a
proposal, then we would take that
under advisement.
While some have suggested that the
council is considering an advisory vote
as a way to advocate for the project, I
can tell you that is complete nonsense.
The law clearly states that no public
money can be used to advocate for or
against a ballot measure. That means
the measure needs to be neutrally word-
ed, and I will personally work to make
sure that it is. Councilmembers can take
positions advocating one way or anoth-
er, but that wouldnt be the right thing
to do if we really want to hear what the
public thinks.
Right now we have dueling polls
some from the developer and some
from groups opposing the developer.
We cant accept those as being the true
feelings of the public. The only way we
will know is with a public vote.
Advisory votes such as this have been
conducted up and down the state.
Councils listen to the results of these
votes and make decisions based upon
the results. By doing this in November,
during a presidential election, we will
get the opinions of the highest number
of residents possible, not just those who
talk the loudest.
Ian Bain is a member of the Redwood
City Council. The opinion expressed here
is his own.
Advisory vote is the right thing to do
Throwing
in the towel
Y
oure not going to reuse that towel, are
you? came the incredulous query.
Sure. I only used it
once yesterday, I replied.
The question implied I
was hygienically-chal-
lenged. My answer
included the silent adden-
dum that I was environ-
mentally superior.
Why wouldnt I reuse a
towel once if all it had
mopped up previously
was unsoiled skin and
hair? Isnt that the point
of a shower to wash
away all the muck and
grime, leaving one
squeaky clean?
Thats wrong, came the judgment.
Youre wrong, I replied.
The next addendum wasnt so silent.
And you hate the Earth.
Forget polar ice caps and rising sea level. The fight over
global warming and who is better at giving the world a
best friend hug came down to towel use.
Youd think wed be in agreement. At a household mini-
mum, water bottles are reused along with plastic and paper
bags. The cabinet of plasticware runneth over because
even the take home containers from the grocery store olive
bar are kept for future use. Same goes for the shelf of
reusable coffee containers. Not even a room full of caf-
feine-hungry baristas could make a solid dent in the col-
lection.
We pick up litter when it is happened upon and carry
dog poop bags for trips to the park with the furry
munchkins. We pay attention to no-burn days, even while
grumbling about the annoyance of them falling on a winter
holiday. We own reusable tote bags for groceries, although
admittedly they rarely are remembered during shopping
expeditions. We even refused to jump into a Puerto Rican
rainforest waterfall after the guide explained how sun-
screen and shoes are contaminants. By the way, heres
something self-satisfying about looking smugly at the eco-
hating tourists who refused to abide.
Aerosol is a thing of the past, although admittedly thats
more a nod to the death of 80s hair than worries about the
ozone layer. Plastic soda can o-rings get snipped to give
the dolphins a break and someday we might even give An
Inconvenient Truth a go when nothing else is on televi-
sion and the DVR stash is bare. Ink cartridges get refilled,
recycled paper fills the printer, old cellphones get resold
and hotel maids get a break from changing and launder-
ing the linens every day of a stay.
Ive even gotten better about not letting the water run
while brushing my teeth and leaving the refrigerator door
open while shuffling items from shelf to countertop.
Granted, we draw the line at buying carbon credits with
vacation packages and will probably never forgo a car.
Point is, though, the Earth is generally OK in both our
books and neither one of us is too extreme in our views on
how to keep it around for at least a couple more genera-
tions. If one of us happens to mention this weekend, Hey,
its Earth Day the other is not going to denounce her as a
tree-hugging hippie and purposely use Styrofoam contain-
ers.
Yet, here was the towel issue creating a divide of astro-
nomical proportions, akin to the over or under toilet paper
debate or if milk should be stored in the refrigerator door.
Its just better to use a new towel. What if there is
residual dirt or germs? came the rationale.
Thats dumb, was the best I could muster. Think of
all the water used to wash perfectly clean towels. Think of
the laundry soap. Think of the Earth!
How about I get a new towel and you do whatever you
want? came the compromise.
Fine.
Fine.
Fine then but you still hate the Earth! I couldnt not
have the last word even if I couldnt have final say.
So as it stands, my towel is the one that might at times
still be damp even if its the idea of always using a new
one thats all wet.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK It hardly needed it, but
the U.S. stock market on Wednesday got
another reminder of how its fortunes are
inexorably tied to the European economy.
All three major U.S. stock indexes sank
after a dismal report about bad loans on the
books of Spanish banks. The day before,
U.S. stocks had soared after Spain held a
successful auction of 2-year bonds.
The results underscored how the stock
market can whipsaw on even incremental
news out of Europe, and it has done just
that for the past couple of weeks. In the 12
trading days of the second quarter so far,
the Dow has fallen by triple digits four
times, with Europe as a notable factor.
Twice, it has risen by that same proportion.
Its not just the news itself, which can
vary from hopeful to horric and back
again in just a couple of days. Its that
investors have been inconsistent in how
they react, sometimes shrugging off what
seems like signicant developments and at
other times seizing on what seems piece-
meal.
Its a time when one headline can get
you to change your mind, said Gary Flam,
portfolio manager at Bel Air Investment
Advisors in Los Angeles. When you go
from one day being concerned about Spain
to the next day, Oh, they had a good auc-
tion, thats a lack of conviction, meaning
investors arent sure what to think.
The market is really difcult to classi-
fy at the moment, added Mike Schenk,
senior economist at the Credit Union
National Association, a trade group. On
one hand you hear about best day since
whatever, on the other hand you have days
and weeks that dont look good at all.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
82.79 points to 13,032.75. That was a U-
turn from Tuesdays gain of 194 points.
The euro fell and Treasury prices rose as
nervous investors looked for safe places to
store their money. The yield on the 10-year
Treasury note fell back below 2 percent
and was 1.98 percent in afternoon trading.
A ood of rst-quarter earnings also
inuenced the market in temperamental
ways. Of the S&P 500 companies to report
earnings so far, 78 percent have recorded
per-share earnings that beat analysts esti-
mates, according to FactSet senior earn-
ings analyst John Butters. But that hasnt
always been enough to lift their share
prices. IBM and Intel beat estimates late
Tuesday but fell the most in the Dow on
Wednesday because investors were disap-
pointed by at revenue. St. Jude Medical
and money manager BlackRock also beat
estimates but their stocks fell anyway.
Europe weighs heavy on stocks
Wall Street
Stocks that moved substantially or traded
heavily Wednesday on the New York Stock
Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market:

Halliburton Co., up $1.51 at $34.17

SAN FRANCISCO Google CEO
Larry Page spent nearly an hour in a fed-
eral courtroom Wednesday deflecting
questions about his role in a copyright
dispute over some of the technology in
his companys Android software for
smartphones.
The taciturn Page often looked uncom-
fortable on the witness stand as he
sparred with David Boies, a tenacious
lawyer who made headlines for grilling
former Microsoft Corp. CEO Bill Gates
in an antitrust lawsuit led by the U.S.
government in 1990s.
In this trial, Boies is working for busi-
ness software maker
Oracle Corp., which
accused Google Inc.
of building its
Android software by
stealing pieces of the
technology from
Java, a programming
platform that Oracle
now owns.
Oracle, which is
based in Redwood Shores, is seeking
hundreds of millions in damages and
royalties for Googles future use of
Android, which powers more than 300
million smartphones and tablet comput-
ers.
In a measure of the trials high
stakes, Oracle has already called two
multibillionaire executives to the wit-
ness stand. Oracles own CEO, Larry
Ellison, appeared Tuesday, as did Page
for a brief round of questioning before
his Wednesday return for more exten-
sive interrogations. In both appear-
ances, Page sported a suit and tie, a
departure from the casual attire he
wears around Googles Mountain View
headquarters.
Page looked like he wished he could
have stayed in Mountain View
Wednesday. During his time on the stand,
he rarely looked at Boies and frequently
said he couldnt remember seeing some
of the internal Google documents that
Oracle is using to build its case.

Yum Brands posts whopping 1Q profit gain
LOUISVILLE, Ky. The owner of the Pizza Hut, Taco Bell
and KFC chains says its rst-quarter net income rose 73 per-
cent as rebounding U.S. sales were coupled with a continued
strong performance overseas.
Yum Brands Inc.s revenue increased 13 percent to $2.74 bil-
lion in the period. Operating prot in Yums China operation
rose 14 percent, adjusted for currency uctuations. In the U.S.,
operating prot surged 27 percent as all three chains reported
sales gains at established stores.
Yum reported net income of $458 million, or 96 cents per
share, in the quarter, up from $264 million, or 54 cents per
share. Yum took a charge of 9 cents per share a year ago.
Analysts expected prot of 73 cents per share on revenue of
$2.71 billion.
EBay posts higher 1Q net income and revenue
NEW YORK EBays rst-quarter net income grew 20
percent thanks to higher revenue from its PayPal business and
brisk sales at its e-commerce websites. The results beat Wall
Streets expectations and investors sent the companys stock
higher in after-hours trading.
EBay Inc. said Wednesday that it earned $570 million, or 44
cents per share, in the January-March period. Thats up from
$476 million, or 36 cents per share, a year ago.
Adjusted earnings of 55 cents per share beat Wall Streets
estimates by 3 cents. Revenue grew 29 percent to $3.28 billion
from $2.55 billion. Thats above the $3.15 billion that analysts
polled by FactSet had expected.
Internet ad revenue hits record $31B in U.S.
NEW YORK Revenue from Internet advertising in the
U.S. hit a record $31 billion last year, according to a study
released Wednesday.
Thats up 22 percent from $26 billion in 2010, the previous
record. The Interactive Advertising Bureau, an industry group,
conducted the quarterly study with PricewaterhouseCoopers.
About half of the ad revenue, $14.8 billion, came from the
search category.

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

Obituaries
By Lynn Elber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES Dick Clark stood as an
avatar of rock n roll virtually from its birth
and, until his death Wednesday at age 82, as a
cultural touchstone for boomers and their
grandkids alike.
His identity as the worlds oldest teenager
became strained in recent years, as time and
inrmity caught up with his enduring boyish-
ness. But he owned New Years Eve after four
decades hosting his annual telecast on ABC
from Times Square. And as a producer and
entertainment entrepreneur, he was a media
titan: his Dick Clark Productions supplied
movies, game shows, beauty contests and more
to TV, and, for a time in the 1980s, he boasted
programs on all three networks.
Equally comfortable chatting about music
with Sam Cooke or bantering with Ed
McMahon on TVs Bloopers and Practical
Jokes, Clark had shows on all three networks
for a time in the 1980s and was listed among
the Forbes 400 of wealthiest Americans. Clark,
who died of a heart attack Wednesday at a
Santa Monica hospital, also was part of radio
as partner in the United Stations Radio
Network, which provided programs includ-
ing Clarks to thousands of stations.
Theres hardly any segment of the popula-
tion that doesnt see what I do, Clark told the
Associated Press in a 1985 interview. It can
be embarrassing. People
come up to me and say, I
love your show, and I have
no idea which one theyre
talking about.
One of his later TV proj-
ects, American Dreams,
served as a tting weekly
tribute to Clarks impact.
Airing from 2002 to 2005,
this NBC drama centered
on a Philadelphia family in
the early 1960s and, in particular, on 15-year-
old Meg, who, through a quirk of fate, found
her way onto the set of Clarks teen dance
show, American Bandstand.
The nostalgic American Dreams depicted
a musical revolution, which Clark so reassur-
ingly helped usher in against the backdrop of a
nation in turmoil. While never a hit, the series
was embraced by older viewers as a warm sou-
venir of the era that spawned Clark, and as an
affectionate history lesson for their children
and grandchildren.
President Barack Obama noted the nostalgia.
More important than his groundbreaking
achievements was the way he made us feel
as young and vibrant and optimistic as he
was, Obama said in a statement.
Clark bridged the rebellious new music
scene and traditional show business. He
defended pop artists and artistic freedom, the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame said in an online
biography of the 1993 inductee.

India tests nuke-capable
missile able to hit China
NEW DELHI India announced Thursday
the successful test launch of a new nuclear-
capable missile that would give it, for the rst
time, the capability of striking the major
Chinese cities of Beijing and Shanghai.
The government has hailed the Agni-V mis-
sile, with a range of 3,100 miles, as a major
boost to its efforts to counter Chinas regional
dominance and become an Asian power in its
own right.
The head of Indias Defense Research and
Development Organization, Vijay Saraswat,
said the missile was launched at 8:07 a.m.
from Wheeler Island off Indias east coast.
It rose to an altitude of more than 370 miles,
its three stages worked properly and its pay-
load was deployed as planned, he told Times
Now news channel.

10-1 to remain the lone undefeated team in the PAL Ocean.
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
You would be surprised to hear which coach
was pleased and which was left scratching his
head following the Sequoia softball teams 10-
1 win over Mills Wednesday afternoon in
Millbrae.
Mills coach Eric Lacayo was just happy to
be back on the eld playing a game that counts
for the rst time in three weeks, while Sequoia
coach Scott Reynick was perplexed about his
teams relative lack of offense.
Were just up and down in terms of
offense, Reynick said. A lot it (our runs
Wednesday) was on walks.
Sequoia (5-0 PAL Ocean, 12-4 overall)
scored 10 runs on nine hits, but only one of
those hits went for extra bases a Mikayla
Wilkes run-scoring double in the top of the
seventh inning. The Cherokees took advantage
of 13 walks, seven of which ended up scoring.
Mills (3-2, 5-2), which already has a small
roster, was without its top pitcher, Katelyn
Warren who, was off doing senior things for
college. You cant blame her for that, Lacayo
said.
Taking over was Brittani Decloedt, who kept
the Vikings close through the rst several
innings before Sequoia broke the game open
with a seven-run fth inning. She allowed only
one run on two hits through the rst four
innings, but ran into serious control problems
in the fth.
She didnt start struggling with her control
until that big inning, Reynick said.
Added Lacayo: Shes just [a good] athlete
trying to step up (and ll in).
For Sequoia, Wednesday represented just
the second time all season the Cherokees
trailed in a game they would end up winning.
Mills scored the rst run of the game in the
bottom of the third inning. Rebecca Cisceros
led off the inning with a single to center and
came around to score on Alyssa Coulters
triple to deep right eld.

Pat Summitt, who won more games than
anyone in NCAA college basketball history,
stepped down Wednesday as coach of the
Tennessee Lady Vols, less than eight months
after revealing she had early-onset dementia.
Ive loved being the head coach at
Tennessee for 38 years, but I recognize that
the time has come to move into the future and
to step into a new role, the 59-year-old Hall
of Famer said in a statement issued by the
school.
Longtime assistant Holly Warlick will take
over for Summitt, who will become head
coach emeritus.
A news conference is scheduled Thursday
afternoon at the school in Knoxville.
When the Lady Vols lost in a regional nal
to eventual national champion Baylor,
Warlicks tears were a telltale sign of how
draining the season had been and also that it
likely was Summitts last
game.
She is an icon who
does not view herself in
that light, and her legacy is
well-dened and everlast-
ing, athletic director Dave
Hart said. Just like there
will never be another John
Wooden, there will never
be another Pat Summitt. I
look forward to continuing to work with her in
her new role. She is an inspiration to every-
one.
Summitt will report to Hart in her new role
while assisting the program she guided to
eight national titles since taking over in 1974.
Tennessee said that Summitts responsibili-
ties will include helping with recruiting,
watching practice, joining staff meetings,
helping coaches analyze practice and games
and advising the Southeastern Conference on
womens basketball issues and mentoring
players.

H
ow hard was it for now former
Half Moon Bay football coach
Matt Ballard to decide to leave
home and apply for a job in Southern
California?
The rst time he led an application to
take over the program at Redondo Union
High, he pulled it back. It wasnt until he
had a heart-to-heart with his family that he
ultimately decided to re-apply for the posi-
tion.
My rule is, if I was
going to leave Half
Moon Bay, it was
going to be special,
Ballard said. My
family said, This is a
shot you should at
least take. You
shouldnt be afraid
getting out of your
comfort zone. [It all
went down] during
spring break bang,
bang, bang.
Ballard said a part of him wanted to nd
out how good a coach he really is. As a
Half Moon Bay native, he wondered if his
success was due to the comfort level and
familiarity of being in Half Moon Bay.
Am I just riding on the coattails of being
[A Half Moon Bay] alum? Can I re-create
this somewhere else? Ballard said. Its
scary to some extent.
While the last few days have been a
whirlwind My phone battery has died
three times during the day with all the
phone calls Ive gotten, Ballard said it
will return to some normalcy as he prepares
for spring football practice.
Thats where the normalcy stops, howev-
er, as he will try to run some sort of spring
practice at both Half Moon Bay and
Redondo Union.
I really want the transition (at Half
Moon Bay) to be as easy as possible on the
kids, Ballard said. What weve done here
is bigger than me.
Ballard said he expects to have some
input on who the school will hire to replace
him I will be involved. I will have an
opinion (on who the new coach should be).
Im sure my say will be important, but
its kind of a weird situation.

SAN FRANCISCO All-Star Giants clos-
er Brian Wilson will undergo Tommy John
reconstructive elbow surgery Thursday in
Pensacola, Fla.
Renowned orthopedist Dr. James Andrews
will perform the surgery after doing a similar
procedure on Wilson when the right-hander
was in college at LSU in 2003. San Francisco
team orthopedist Dr. Ken Akizuki was set to
travel to Florida on Wednesday night to assist
with the operation.
Andrews examined Wilson on Wednesday
and conrmed the Giants diagnosis of a torn
ulnar collateral ligament that will sideline him
all season. While the timeframe can be longer
than the standard 12-18 months following
Tommy John surgery, the Giants hope Wilson
is a quick healer and will be able to pitch in
2013.
Were all set to have the surgery done and
get that over with, man-
ager Bruce Bochy said
Wednesday before the
series finale with the
Philadelphia Phillies. On
the rehab side of it, theyre
doing a better job of get-
ting these guys back on the
mound, throwing a little
bit sooner. From what I
understand, when you
have the second one it could take a little
longer. Its not like theres a large sample size
to show that. Hopefully it all goes well and
Brian will be pitching next year.
The 30-year-old bearded closer led the
majors with 48 saves in 2010 and recorded the

SAN JOSE Chris Reed has
undergone two dramatic changes
since a year ago when he was
Stanfords lights-out closer.
One change is the blue uniform. It
takes some getting used to after he
spent three years as a Cardinal, but
as last years rst-round draft pick
by Los Angeles, he is likely to be
sporting Dodger blue for a long time
to come.
The other change is hes now a
starting pitcher a role he aspired
to in college, but instead excelled as
Stanfords closer.
Otherwise, Reed is the same
quirky southpaw hes always been:
still with the high-intensity torque as
he rears back to throw, still the same
low three-quarter arm slot and still a
bit of a wild streak that makes for the
most uncomfortable of at bats, con-
sidering he gets a good 95-mph zip
on his fastball.
The only thing is sometimes I
have to establish consistency and
throw strikes, Reed said.
Reed came up short in his home-
coming Monday night, as Dodgers
High-A affiliate Rancho
Cucamonga fell 3-2 to San Jose at
M u n i c i p a l
Stadium. It was-
nt exactly a
banner night for
the San Jose
offense, though.
The Giants only
had one produc-
tive swing of the
bat a three-
run home run in
the second inning by Devin Harris,
which accounted for all of their
runs.
Rancho Cucamonga pitching
coach Matt Herges said Reed is a
legit No. 1 starter in the making.
Electric stuff aside, hes got the pas-
sion to succeed.
Hes got a beast inside of him,
Herges said. Its hard to see that
because its not his personality. But
[on the mound] hes an animal. Hes
got that intangible.
However, on the mound, Reed
also has a wild side that sometimes
gets the best of him. It was his undo-
ing Monday, as the left-hander
issued ve walks, including two to
set the table for Harris game-chang-
ing blast. Reed settled down soon
thereafter, retiring 11 of the next 12
batters he faced, including 10 in a
row at one point.
With 53 appearances as a college
pitcher all but one of them in
relief Reed grew into dominance
at Stanford primarily as a two-pitch
pitcher. Having signed as a starting
pitcher, hes developing a changeup
to compliment his two plus pitch-
es.
Hes got the heater that moves,
Herges said. Its electric. It jumps.
Hes got a wipe-out slider, and the
changeup is coming.
For Herges, the conversation
about Reed or Reeder as hes
more affectionately known
comes back to the top prospects
makeup.
Stuffs great, but [what sets him
apart is] that intangible compete fac-
tor, Herges said. He has got some-
thing deep down that he can get to, if
he needs to. Not everybody has
that. Deep down hes got that
competitive power.
There was a moment Monday
night, when Harris approached the
plate for his next at bat after taking
Reed deep, when that compete fac-
tor was evident. Before Harris even
reached the home-plate circle, Reed
gathered the ball back after a routine
groundout, and had come set on the
mound. As Harris checked into the
box, he looked up to see Reed raring
to go, glove to his face, peering
intently over the top of it.
I think he always does that,
Rancho Cucamonga catcher Chris
OBrien said. When hes in the
zone hes on the mound ready to
go. When he wants to throw, hes
going to throw.
The at bat was decided on three
pitches, with Harris ying out lazily
to center.
I try to go out and compete with
everyone we face, Reed said.
Obviously I remembered what had
happened before and I just wanted to
get him again and show that I could
get him out and go on from there.
Heading into the 2011 season,
there was a Stanford left-hander who
projected as a surere rst-round
draft pick. However, it wasnt Reed.
The cream of the crop of Stanfords
junior class was instead Brett
Mooneyham, a sturdy 6-foot-5
pitcher that looked to anchor the
rotation as the Saturday starter.
A freak accident derailed
Mooneyhams season, though, in a
story that has become folkloric in
collegiate baseball circles. Just prior
to opening day, Mooneyham was
opening a can of baked beans one
of his favorite comfort foods when
he sliced his pitching hand with the
can opener. The mishap cost
Mooneyham the 2011 season.
As a result, Reed actually opened
the season as the Saturday starter.
But, an inauspicious performance at
Rice he surrendered seven runs in
4 2/3 innings in his rst start of the
season ended up being the only
start of his collegiate career. The
next weekend at Vanderbilt, Reed
came out of the bullpen and was stel-
lar.
I was just happy to pitch, to be
honest, Reed said. I didnt pitch
that much freshman year.
Sophomore year I pitched a little
more. So I was just happy to get
back in there. Ideally I would have
liked to have been a starter, but it
worked out well. I mean, closing for
Stanford and I won six games out of
the pen. So, I cant complain about
that.
Reed notched a 6-2 record, with
nine saves and a 2.54 ERA. His sea-
son-long dominance caused him to
shoot toward the top of prospect
watch lists like a bullet. And, on
draft day last June, he was selected
16th overall by the Dodgers.
He may have surprised people by
that, but he didnt surprise me at all,
Herges said. This guy is a legit,
bona de, No. 1 guy.

SANTA CLARA Apparently, there are no
hard feelings on 49ers general manager Trent
Baalkes part regarding the Saints targeting of
San Francisco players in their bounty program.
The GM recently reached out to suspended for-
mer New Orleans defensive coordinator Gregg
Williams to discuss the matter.
He and Williams worked together during the
2004 season in Washington and Baalke still con-
siders him a friend. Baalke said Wednesday they
had a nice chat and that he has long respected
Williams as a football coach.
I dont feel any differently about him today
than I did 20 days ago, Baalke said. Ive worked
with Gregg. Greggs a friend and hes been a
friend. It was only tting that you reach out and
speak with him, and I felt very good about the
conversation.
Williams oversaw and contributed money to
the illegal bounty fund for planned vicious hits on
opponents and has been suspended indenitely
from the NFL for his involvement in the scheme
from 2009-11.
Earlier this month, a recording emerged of
Williams in January telling players to put a lick
on 49ers receiver and return man Kyle Williams
to see if he had lingering effects from a concus-
sion. San Francisco beat Drew Brees and the
favored Saints 36-32 in the NFC divisional play-
offs.
I have no untoward feelings about the game. It
was a great football game. Both teams played
extremely well and we got the better of it. I have
great memories of that foot-
ball game, said coach Jim
Harbaugh, who insists he
doesnt have enough infor-
mation on the bounties to
speak specically.
I mean, it would be like
trying to comment on the
clean water crisis that our
world is facing, he said. I
dont have all the facts on
that, you know? Whos going to be the best polit-
ical candidate for president? I dont know. I mean,
Im immersed in football. So I dont think theres
any need to be another guy jumping on the band-
wagon having an opinion on it. The NFL is han-
dling it, and thats good enough for me.
In the NFC championship game Jan. 22, Kyle
Williams fumbled a punt in overtime of San
Franciscos 20-17 loss to the eventual Super Bowl
champion New York Giants to set up Lawrence
Tynes winning eld goal.
The 49ers insist he will still be in the mix this
season despite the costly misplay.
Im not down on Kyle Williams, nor is anyone
else in this organization. Its done, its over with
and were moving forward, Baalke said. Im
very condent that Kyle will get past the incident
of last year and is ready to move on. And hell get
better because of it.
Baalke said wideout Randy Moss isnt among
the 60 players participating in the teams offsea-
son workouts at team headquarters, where the
49ers on Thursday will hold a formal ground-
breaking ceremony for their new $1 billion stadi-
um thats already in the works.

Gregg Williams a friend

SAN FRANCISCO Melky Cabrera hit
an RBI single in the 11th inning and the San
Francisco Giants beat the Philadelphia Phillies
1-0 on Wednesday, ending a thrilling pitchers
duel that seemed as if it might go on all night.
Cliff Lee tossed 10 scoreless innings for the
Phillies and Matt Cain pitched nine for the
Giants. And each has only a no-decision to
show for it.
Cabrera came through against Antonio
Bastardo (0-1), who allowed Brandon Belts
one-out single up the middle. Belt then
advanced when third baseman Ty Wigginton
couldnt control Angel Pagans grounder.
The game lasted just 2 hours, 27 minutes.
And it left Lee still searching for his rst win
of the season after three starts.
The Giants won a third straight series after
being swept in three one-run losses to open
the year at defending division champion
Arizona, while the Phillies dropped their third
series in four.
Lee pitched a career-high 10 innings,
becoming the rst Phillies starter to go beyond
nine innings since Terry Mulholland on May
8, 1993, against St. Louis. Lee struck allowed
seven hits, struck out seven, didnt walk a bat-
ter and threw 81 strikes among his 102 pitch-
es.
And Lee didnt throw his 100th pitch until
strike one to Nate Schierholtz with two outs in
the 10th.
This one marked the second great matchup
of aces in three games after Roy Halladay out-
pitched Tim Lincecum in Philadelphias 5-2
win Monday night.
Both pitchers worked quickly, each allow-
ing only two base runners to reach second in
their combined 19 innings.
Carlos Ruiz led off the top of the 11th with
a double against Sergio Romo for the Phillies
rst extra-base hit of the game and just the
second all game on a night nine innings were
remarkably in the books after just 1:50.
Ruiz moved to third on a sacrice by Freddy
Galvis, then pinch-hitter Jim Thome batted for
Lee and struck out swinging against Javier
Lopez.
John Mayberry Jr. entered to pinch-hit and
Giants manager Bruce Bochy brought in win-
ner Clay Hensley (1-0) as well as Belt to play
rst in a double-switch. Mayberry grounded
out to end the inning.
Pinch-hitter Hector Sanchez reached on
Laynce Nixs elding error in the bottom of
the ninth, but Lee induced the third of four
double plays he got against the Giants.
Cain dazzled for the second straight start,
tossing nine scoreless innings in back-to-back
outings for the rst time in his career.
Coming off a one-hitter in a 5-0 victory over
the Pirates in last Fridays home opener in
which the only baserunner he allowed was a
single to pitcher James McDonald, Cain was
nearly as good this time out.

Mike Krieger accepted the head coach position at Mills last
week. Ballard said when Krieger made that decision, Ballard
was not planning on going to Southern California.
How things have changed.
Im assuming he (Krieger) would have wanted to apply for
the (Half Moon Bay) job, Ballard said. The timing was hor-
rible.
Despite making the decision to move, Ballard will always
have a piece of Half Moon Bay in his heart.
This is my home. My parents are here, Ballard said. Ill
always be a Cougar at heart.
Ballards departure makes him the second coach to step
down at the coastside school. Last month, girls basketball
coach John Carey announced he was leaving his position as
well.
Unlike Ballard, Carey just wants to take some time off and
enjoy other aspects of his life.
Im nearing 50 and looking at other things I can do, Carey
told me last month. See what other things are out there.
During his tenure as head coach, Carey led the Cougars to
seven Central Coast Section berths. He guided the team to the
Peninsula Athletic League title during the 2010-11 season to
earn promotion to the Bay Division this season. Despite going
just 1-9 in league play this season, the Cougars had a shot at
qualifying for CCS. They went 6-7 in non-league play and a
win in the over either Burlingame or Menlo-Atherton during
the last week of the regular season would have given them a
.500 record overall one of criteria necessary to qualify for
CCS.
Instead, they lost both including a crushing, last-second
50-48 loss to Burlingame.
***
Anyone who follows baseball knows there is more to being
a pitcher than just throwing strikes. A complete pitcher has to
eld his position well because at just 60 feet, 6 inches from
home plate, he in the closest elder to the batter. Balls get on
top of pitchers in a hurry and even a slow reex can be disas-
trous.
Count Mills pitcher Joe Carney as one who can eld his
position. Six times during the Vikings 3-2, 12-inning win over
Sequoia Tuesday, Carney was forced to make a play and he
handled all those chances awlessly.
In the third inning, he was responsible for all three outs,
throwing just six pitches in retiring the side. Carney elded
two easy one-hop comebackers for the rst two outs of the
inning, but he had to work for the third one because he
could have been knocked out if he missed. Sequoia leadoff
hitter Jake Mauldin ripped a line drive right at Carney, who
quickly snatched it in front of his face to end the inning.
In the fth, he snagged another line drive right at him.

That Mills score appeared to nally wake up the Sequoia
bats, as the Cherokees wasted little time in tying the score at
1 with a run in the top of the fourth. The rst two batters of
the inning walked and Nicole Kielty loaded the bases on a
elders choice bunt. The third walk of the inning tied the
game for Sequoia.
The Cherokees then broke the game open in the fth, scor-
ing seven runs on just three hits, four walks and a hit batter.
Caitlin Castagnola had the big hit in the inning, a two-run sin-
gle as the 11th batter of the inning. Wilkes and Hannah Singh
each drove in a run by drawing a bases loaded walks and
Sarah Singh also drove in a run without the benet of a hit,
getting plunked in the back with the bases juiced.
Were shooting for something [better] than what the other
team is giving us, Reynick said. Mills is a good and scrap-
py and they put the ball in play. There was no taking them
lightly.
That was more than enough offense for Sequoia pitcher
Kielty, who worked the rst ve innings, scattering ve hits.
Gina Rodriguez nished up, pitching two innings of two-hit
relief.
Sequoia tacked on two more runs in the top of the seventh,
with Wilkes and Singh each driving in a run.
Despite the lopsided loss, Lacayo was pleased with the way
his team played. The nal score did not indicate how effective
Decloedt was at times and the Vikings defense made all the
plays they had to make. If not for a bakers dozen of walks,
the nal result might have different. He believes his team just
needs to get back in the rhythm of playing twice a week to get
the Vikings moving back in the right direction.
This group of girls has a lot of talent. They work hard in
practice, Lacayo said. If we can just get the consistency and

comfort in the elbow last Friday and was sent for an MRI
exam. Wilson threw 32 pitches at Colorado last Thursday
while working on back-to-back days, and had to be checked
on once. Groeschner said Wilson felt something in the elbow
that day, but told the team Friday.
Wilson nished 6-4 with a 3.11 ERA and 36 saves in 57
appearances last season, held out down the stretch as a pre-
caution. He had taken all of the important steps in his rehab
this spring, so the injury caught everybody by surprise.
Bochy expects Wilson to re-join the team at home next
weekend after its upcoming road trip East to New York and
Cincinnati.
Hell come back here and resume his rehab and Im sure
hell be around to support his teammates, Bochy said.
The Giants are condent in their current bullpen structure
with Santiago Casilla in the closer spot he lled in for
Wilson last year and Sergio Romo and Javier Lopez are
also capable ninth-inning options to hold a late lead.
In fact, center elder Angel Pagan said the bullpen will
protect it like an upside down cat.
Casilla earned his rst save in Tuesdays 4-2 win, follow-
ing up scoreless innings by Romo and Clay Hensley.
Our staff is well-armed, Romo said. We can pitch in
whatever situation. Tonight we showed how we mesh and
blend well. We complement each other. Were just trying to
get outs. There was really no pressure to get the rst close
game out of the way.

STOCKHOLM Already the
one-stop shop for smart and com-
pact home furnishing, IKEA is ven-
turing into the world of technology
with the IKEA TV.
The new furniture range, named
UPPLEVA, the Swedish word for
experience, integrates an LED TV, a
sound system with wireless bass
speakers, an internet connection
and CD, DVD and Blu-ray players
all in one self-assembly piece.
Although the TV and the other
electronics are made by Chinese
manufacturer TCL, IKEA has built
everything around them, hiding the
masses of cables that can be a nui-
sance and make a living room look
shabby.
To further simplify things, IKEA
and TCL have combined all the
controls into a single remote. The
furniture surface is especially
designed to allow the remotes sig-
nals through, so the devices can
remain hidden from view.
The TV screens are available in
four different sizes, from 24 inches
to 46 inches, and in a range of col-
ors including gray, black and blue.
Users are also able to plug in their
iPods or other mp3 music players.
Like most IKEA furniture, the
UPPLEVA is purchased in a at-
pack and is ready for assembly at
home for those handy with screw-
drivers and other tools.
The furniture comes in three
designs and will be sold rst in
Sweden, France, Poland, Germany
and Italy in June, with a few more
markets due to launch in the second
half of the year. By the rst half of
next year, it will be available world-
wide, with the cheapest costing
about 6,500 Swedish kronor ($955).
To test market appetite for its lat-
est innovation, IKEA had a survey
conducted by pollster YouGov. The
poll showed that three out of four
people want less visible cables in
their living rooms and 50 percent
wanted to reduce the amount of
electronics lying about.
The study, done in ve countries
with more than 5,200 respondents
between Feb. 29 and March 15 this
year, also showed that 60 percent of
the people asked have between
three to four remote controls at
home.
Weve realized that people are
watching more TV and are using
electronics in their living rooms
more and more, IKEA spokes-
woman Ylva Magnusson said. We
came up with this because we found
IKEA to sell TVs integrated in its furniture

So planting fever has grabbed you,
and youre heading out to your
favorite nursery or thumbing through
a catalog to see whats available in
shrubs.
Decisions, decisions. Should your
shrubs offer tasty berries or good
looks? No need to choose between
the two; there are plenty of shrubs
that are ornamental and bear edible
berries as well.
Berry shrubs are as easy to grow as
strictly ornamental shrubs. Pests
rarely pose a threat, which is fortu-
nate, since youre likely to plant orna-
mentals near living areas where you
can enjoy their looks, and you dont
want to have to spray anything near
where you dine al fresco or where
children regularly tumble on the
grass.
OK, there is one pest that might
bother your shrubs: Birds. However,
some berry shrubs bear more than
enough fruit to share with feathered
friends. And if you like birds, attract-
ing them may just be another plus for
these plants.
LOCATION, LOCATION
Although a berry shrub can be as
easy to grow as any forsythia or lilac,
berry shrubs do like those two
ornamentals need some attention.
As with any plant, check out site con-
ditions before you plant.
For berry shrubs, make sure that
soil drainage is adequate. If water still
stands in a foot-deep hole for more
than 12 hours after you pour water
into it, the site is too boggy for most
shrubs. In that case, either plant your
shrub atop a wide mound of soil to
get its roots up and out of the water-
logged zone, or choose a site with
better drainage.
Another requirement of most berry
shrubs is abundant sunlight at least
six hours per day. They need light both
for avor and yield. The sweetness in
a blueberry fruit, for example, repre-
sents the conversion of the suns ener-
gy to sugar. Red currants are excep-
tions; they fruit well in the shade.
A LITTLE PRUNING
FOR A LOT OF BERRIES
Finally, many berry shrubs require
regular pruning as do, again, for-
sythia, lilac and many other strictly
ornamental shrubs. Pruning allows
stems to bask in light and bathe in air,
keeping a shrub productive and limit-
ing disease problems. Regularly
removing old stems also makes way
for younger, more productive ones.
No great skill is needed to prune a
shrub, and pruning is generally not
needed until your plants fourth win-
ter. Just take your hand shears or lop-
ping shears (the latter if stems are
thicker than about 1/2 inch) and cut a
few of the oldest, thickest stems to
ground level, or to lusty, low-side
shoots. Shrubs differ in how many
new shoots they send up at or near
ground level each year, and the more
new shoots that a particular shrub
makes each year, the more old ones
you will have to prune away. The
only other pruning needed is to clip
back any stems that look out of place.
WHAT LOOKS
AND TASTES GOOD
Spend the next few days looking
around your yard for places that
might be beautied by pretty shrubs.
Fruit-bearing, ornamental shrubs
include lowbush and highbush blue-
berry, juneberry, quince, gumi,
seaberry, beach plum, Nanking cher-
ry, red (white and pink) currant, rose,
huckleberry, pineapple guava, pome-
granate and clove currant.
For more about getting both fruit
and beauty from trees and vines as
well as shrubs, see my Landscaping
with Fruit (Storey Publishing,
2010).

beauty, tasty berries

The record-breaking warm tem-
peratures this spring have raised a
lot of questions about the effects
this will have on the plants in our
gardens.
Even people who dont garden
seem to understand that trees and
shrubs blooming much earlier than
normal could be problematic,
should temperatures drop back
down to seasonable levels.
Spring in my backyard, and in
many other parts of the country,
seems to be accelerated in part due
to these seasonably warm tempera-
tures, but also in part due to the
exceptionally mild nonwinter we
sailed through this year. If this
trend keeps up, spring will be com-
pressed into a few short weeks. My
garden is already at least a month
ahead of schedule and for some
plants perhaps even further ahead
than that.
I have been elding questions
lately from family and friends
about everything from their trees
and shrubs leang out early to con-
cerns about planting their spring
gardens. If the well-above-normal
temperatures have you unsettled,
dont worry. Nature is ckle and
also resilient and adaptable.
Should there be a cold snap after
your trees have leafed out, well, so
be it. The trees know what to do.
Sure, freezing temperatures could
damage newly emerging leaves, but
if that were to happen, your trees
would grow new leaves several
weeks later. Plants have evolved
over thousands of years to cope
with these sorts of calamities.
In the case of early owering
coinciding with freezing tempera-
tures, the outcome would likely be
the same. The owers would be
lost, but in all likelihood the tree or
shrub would live to bloom again;
and probably be none the worse for
the wear.
While a sudden cold snap may
present only a cosmetic problem for
most owering trees, for others it
can be problematic. Fruit trees hit
with freezing temperatures while
they are in ower can result in poor
crops. Early blooming fruit trees
such as peaches, apricots, and
plums are especially at risk.
Freezing temperatures also keep
pollinating insects at bay resulting
in double jeopardy.
The mild spring has certainly
given us all a head start in terms of
cleanup, and for many gardeners
this means we can concentrate on
more exciting tasks like planting.
For gardeners in northern states the
question of when to start planting
the vegetable garden is one that
becomes vexing when the calendar
and the temperatures dont mesh.
I, like may gardeners, use season-
al benchmarks for planting my veg-
etable garden. For instance, I fol-
low the old adage of sewing peas
between Saint Patricks Day and
April Fools Day, although for obvi-
ous reasons I never plant anything
on April Fools Day!
This year I have decided to take a
risk, throw caution to the wind and
plant my garden early with cool-
loving crops even though the calen-
dar might advise against it.
My thinking is that even if I lose
a row or two of cool season crops
like arugula, radishes, lettuce, fava
beans or early broccoli, the mini-
mal trouble it takes to plant my gar-
den and the small cost incurred
makes it well worth the risk.
The worst-case scenario is I have
to replant, the best case is I have an
early harvest, making an early
spring all the more enjoyable.
Warm weather leaves gardeners confused
Does early warm weather mean you can plant your spring cool-loving crops, even though the calendar would
advise against it? Go ahead and take a chance.

For a spring project that can get your fami-
ly working and learning together and also
help some beautiful insects try a backyard
buttery garden.
With just a little planning, you can create an
attractive and welcoming habitat for butter-
ies through the warm weather months, says
Rick Mikula, author of The Family Buttery
Book (Storey Publishing, 2000).
The biggest problem facing butteries is
destruction of habitat, Mikula says. Even if
your garden offers just a few buttery-friend-
ly blooms in pots or containers, it can help the
insects population and improve the look of
your living space.
Any offering for butteries in a garden, no
matter how small, is like chicken soup for a
cold, he says. It cant hurt.
The choice of nectar-producing plants on
which butteries feed varies by region. But
wherever you are, Mikula says, your options
dont have to be fancy. Simple owers such as
varieties of Echinacea, daisies, asters and
even some violets can serve as buttery-
friendly snacking spots. Non-invasive milk-
weeds can be especially appetizing to migrat-
ing butteries, without taking over your yard.
Even one or two plants like that are going
to be great because when the butteries are
moving, theres a place for them to stop, says
Mikula, who lives in Hazelton, Penn.
You can start your research with books such
as Mikulas, or by contacting a nearby coop-
erative extension ofce for free advice about
what owers are best for your region. Find
your closest office at
www.csrees.usda.gov/Extension/
Online, try bugguide.net or butteriesand-
moths.org, recommends Nathan Brockman,
curator of the Christina Reiman Buttery
Wing of Reiman Gardens at Iowa State
University, in Ames. Some garden-supply
retailers, such as Lowes Home Improvement
stores, offer online and in-store advice as
well.
There are some concessions you may need
to make if you plan to entice butteries into
your yard, Brockman says.
One is understanding that caterpillars, the
butteries offspring, are going to eat host
plants, including some herbs and vegetables
you may have planned to serve at your own
dinner table. Plant extra, and remember youll
be rewarded for the sacrice when caterpillars
turn into uttering butteries.
Also, be prepared to give up the use of pes-
ticides on vegetable gardens or lawns.
Dont use any at all if you are truly gar-
dening for butteries, Brockman says.
Mikulas tip is to soak tomato leaves
overnight in water, then strain and spray the
solution onto plants as an effective and organ-
ic pesticide that wont harm butteries.
Buttery gardening can either be budget-
friendly or, Mikula says, it can be like buying
a car and getting carried away with all the
extras. Dont overlook smaller, less costly
nectar-producing owers that will entice tiny
but attractive butteries, he says.
Brockman suggests choosing plants native
to their region. Theyre most benecial to the
environment and require less maintenance.
Colleen Maiura, a spokeswoman for
Lowes stores, says there are more ways to
make a garden hospitable to butterflies
besides offering owers. Butteries like to
bask in the sun, so putting out at rocks near
feeding spots can provide a perfect place for
them to rest.
While butteries can get most of the mois-
ture they need from feeding, many like to
gather around puddles and wet places. You
can offer a puddling station by simply cre-
ating a damp area of ground covered with
sand.
Place stations where butteries and you
can easily see them, and where they are
sheltered from the wind, Maiura advises.
Beyond the sheer joy you get when nd-
ing a buttery in your garden, Mikula says,
buttery gardening also can teach families
about the life cycle of insects, and about car-
ing for plants and their environment.
The best part, he says, is that you will be
doing the beautiful insects a world of good.
Dont be disappointed, Brockman cautions,
if you dont draw a lot of butteries right
away. Keep at it, and try to get neighbors to
grow a few plants that will encourage butter-
y activity too.
We need to instill in our youth that insects
are good, he says. Fortunately for the but-
teries, they are considered the pretty ones.
Butterfly gardening offers beauty, fun
Even if your garden offers just a few buttery-friendly blooms in pots or containers, it can
help the insects population and improve the look of your living space.

the committee charged with making a rec-
ommendation about which district school
to close. While the report said there were
no overwhelming reasons to close a
school, the committee suggested combin-
ing two schools if the board were to move
forward. Since it was just a presentation,
the board did not make any comments but
did allow public comments.
Overwhelmingly, parents asked for the
board to do whats best for all kids by not
closing any schools. Board President Skip
Henderson said a special meeting will be
scheduled soon to discuss the topic.
The 17 speakers had a common theme:
Closing a school is a bad idea, regardless
of which one was to get the ax.
No matter what the outcome, no school
or child wins. Please do not close our
schools, said Rollingwood parent Marisa
Horne, who presented a petition signed by
720 against the closure of Rollingwood.
The committees report said if a school
should be closed, transferring Crestmoor
Elementary School students to either
Rollingwood or Portola elementary
schools would be the least disruptive
option. Parents came with signs supporting
Crestmoor alluding to the Sept. 9, 2010
explosion and re that killed eight,
destroyed 38 homes and has caused linger-
ing issues for the community.
We survived the res but can we sur-
vive the school boards? one sign read.
Betti Magoolaghan, a former Crestmoor
parent, was among the families displaced
by the explosion. She noted Crestmoor
was one of the few constants for her
daughter who is still healing. While living
in Belmont, before being able to return, the
family drove her to Crestmoor. She said
the school closure talks felt like a betrayal.
Tired of the uncertainty, she and her hus-
band have decided to pull their children
from San Bruno schools.
Many others questioned closing one of
the districts top performing schools.
Doing so, many argued, would force more
people to leave the district. Instead, people
urged ofcials to look for creative solu-
tions. District Superintendent David Hutt
previously gave a number of reasons for
the conversation.
Starting this fall, San Bruno students
will attend elementary school through fth
grade and start at Parkside Intermediate in
sixth grade. Changing which school serves
sixth grade will shift about 280 students
from the elementary schools. In addition,
the district has seen an overall drop in
enrollment. Combining those enrollment
changes with the possibility of additional
cuts from the state, the district needs to
plan for the worst-case scenario closing
a school, he said.
The committee report, however, found
the possible savings to be not signicant
a point many speakers made.
Hutt said that the closure is one thing to
consider in a larger budget conversation.
For many years, the district turned to
decit spending or one-time funds to cover
its budget. This year, the board directed
staff to create a balanced budget. While
that has not yet been released, it will mean
spending about $750,000 less, Hutt said.
In addition, without proposed statewide
taxes passing in November, school districts
will lose $370 per student or an estimated
$970,000 in the case of San Bruno. In
total, that would be $1.7 million less.
Closing a school would not make up that
money. Since students, teachers and sup-
port staff needs wouldnt change, the cost
savings is from less administration and
other smaller costs. Hutt estimated savings
could range from $200,000 to $225,000
annually.
Chris Kiely, a former trustee in the dis-
trict, questioned why the reasons for this
conversation werent discussed publicly
before a school was named. He acknowl-
edged closing a school may be a necessary
conversation but, by not engaging the
community with the problem sooner, the
district missed an opportunity to focus on
solutions, he said.
As a district, San Bruno has previously
tackled the possibility of closing a school
during the 2006-07 school year due to a
drop in enrollment. An uptick for the fol-
lowing school year caused the district to
drop the talks.
Declining enrollment forced the closure
of two schools in the 1970s. Carl Sandburg
Elementary was closed in 1978 and was
sold for $30.5 million in 2006. The district
leases 20 acres for a driving range on what
was once Engvall Middle School at
Interstate 280 and Sneath Lane to VB Golf
Inc.

after Ahmad died May 10 of a heart attack. The next weeks were
rocky as two days after Ahmads death, Klein was arrested on
suspicion of driving while intoxicated hours after a memorial
service for Ahmad. Klein blew a .08 on a breathalyzer but a
blood test would later pinpoint his blood alcohol level at .07,
leading to the District Attorneys Ofce to not le charges. Klein
briey withdrew his mayoral bid after his arrest but reconsidered
after the case was dropped. He was unanimously voted in per-
manently. At the next rotation, Klein was again named mayor
and hes held the position until yesterdays surprise announce-
ment.
Klein said he is thankful for the time he served and called it
one of the greatest honors of my life.
During his tenure, the City Council wrestled with some high-
prole decisions including the outsourcing of several city serv-
ices, including police and re. Both public safety changes drew
strong debate, particularly the disbanding of the Belmont-San
Carlos Fire Department and subsequent creation of a hybrid
department with the city of Redwood City.
Klein was a vocal critic of the Planning Commissions
approval of a conditional use permit for an outdoor addition to
downtown nightclub Carlos Club and was part of the 3-2 vote
just last week reversing its decision.
Klein also launched a citywide volunteer day as his mayoral
pet project which is being held Saturday, April 28.
Prior to being elected to the City Council, Klein was elected
chair of the General Plan Advisory Committee. The GPAC was
an advisory committee selected by the City Council that met
several times each month over a year and a half to develop the
San Carlos 2030 General Plan Update. Klein was also an active
member of the San Carlos Youth Advisory Council during his
time attending middle school in San Carlos.
The citys last council resignation occurred in March 2001
when then-mayor David Buckmaster stepped down for a move
to a new job and residence in El Dorado Hills. The seat was
lled on an interim basis until the next election with Inge Tiegel
Doherty was elected to nish the terms balance and was re-
elected.
Aside from Ahmads passing, the council also had one other
mid-term death in 1988 when councilman Bill Lindeburg suc-
cumbed to a long bout with leukemia.
The choice between an interim appointment and holding off
for the election will be based in part on the risk of potentially
deadlocked votes by a four-member council on upcoming big
issues like Wheeler Plaza and the Transit Village, Grocott said.

er responsibility to his already full plate
county supervisor. Morantes is one of
eight contenders for the open District
Four seat that includes portions of
Redwood City, Menlo Park and East
Palo Alto. Despite having run for his
current seat three prior times, Morantes
called this bid a whole new experience
and guessed the same might be said for
everybody in the race.
But Morantes life has been full of
new experiences, from his childhood in
Mexico leading up to the leap of faith
into a new career as an insurance broker
and now this run for supervisor. Every
day is like being in school, teaching the
life-long learner something new, he said.
And so I thought Ive got this experi-
ence. Why let it go to waste? Morantes
said.
In his early years, public ofce was
the furthest thing from Morantes mind.
He was born and raised in Mexico City,
learning home electronics at a vocation-
al technical school before moving to the
United States.
After more than two decades in a tech-
nical eld, an insurance agent and friend
encouraged Morantes to give that eld a
try. After some prodding, Morantes took
the test and passed but did not immedi-
ately change professions. He had a fam-
ily and bills; another ve years would
pass before Morantes braved a new job
with the benet of self-employment but
also the scary proposition of commis-
sion-only income.
Twenty-three years later, Morantes
said he still loves his job with New York
Life Insurance.
He also loves his family. He has two
grown sons, each with a little boy who
he refers to as arguably the two most
adorable children to ever call the county
home.
Morantes own children got his foot in
the door of community service. During
their preschool years at Creative
Montessori in East Palo Alto, he was
invited to the board to help with the
budget and curriculum.
It showed me that if you have your
heart in the right place, you can make
things happen. That still drives my deci-
sions, Morantes said.
He also helped people with citizenship
at the International Institute in North
Fair Oak community, worked with
Habitat for Humanity and joined the
Chamber of Commerce. Morantes said
he became known as someone who
could connect people and get things
accomplished. The International Latino
Film Festival, for example. The previous
organizer said she needed $8,000 to
bring it to Redwood City. A few phone
calls, an arrangement with Caada
College which allowed students free
viewings in return for space and ve
years later the festival remains an annu-
al success.
Despite his increased level of involve-
ment, Morantes didnt immediately
jump on the idea of elected ofce. In
1996, however, after work with the
Sequoia Hospital Foundation, he ran for
the board. He lost, but called it a very
good lesson. A year later, Rich Gordon
left the County Board of Education and
he applied for an appointment. Again, he
did not get named which he called ne in
the midst of a very busy schedule.
Another year later, former superintend-
ent Floyd Gonella called Did he want
to run again?
This time Morantes succeeded at the
District Seven seat that hes now held for
three terms.
Now, running for the higher prole
seat, Morantes looks to his background
as key to having a much deeper sense of
what this changing community is all
about. Hes gotten his hair cut at the
same Middleeld Road spot for the last
20 years. On Sunday, hes found wearing
a baseball cap and ripped shirt signs,
he said, of how he remains connected
and exudes a level of familiarity that
makes people comfortable speaking
with him.
He also sees issues like welfare and
health reform through the eyes of his
clients.
I see it in my own clients, how scared
they are of unemployment, he said.
When hes not busy campaigning or
volunteering, several times a week
Morantes plays racquetball and also
loves making stained glass pieces. An
early piece the Met Life logo
hangs in his ofce and special occasion
like weddings and birthdays are often
marked with a personal gift to friends
and loved ones.
In between, he also nds time to trav-
el he ticks off Australia, Africa and
Peru as favorites. There was also that
time he went white water rafting with
some friends down the Grand Canyon.
They spent seven hours in 110-degree
weather climbing back out, which he
called fun.
Im not afraid to try new things,
either for fun or work, Morantes said.
Hes also not afraid of sharing a streak
of humor.
Some people say when life gives you
lemons, make lemonade. I prefer tequi-
la, he said.

MEMO
Key priorities
The budget, economic development
Budget
I dont want to go in and immediately try to change
things but we can always nd ways to improve our
methods like [County Manager John] Maltbie taking
away the cellphones.
Also suggests looking at executive salaries and
medical insurance benets and assessing whether
the junior employees should really shoulder the
majority of cuts and reduced benets.
We are all on the same track to save money.
Tax measures
Does not support the three county measures on
the June ballot but does back the Redwood City
parcel tax for education.
I have a lot of small business owners as clients and
we keep taxing the same people over and over
again.Id rather give them incentives to create more
sales and more jobs.
Economic development
We need a cheerleaderto reach out to businesses
and individuals.
Transportation
We have an OK system but it needs to be more
affordable and reliable.
Looks to transit like that in Mexico City where only
one entity oversees the system and a government
subsidy keeps costs low.
San Mateo County needs to nd a way to cut
through the agency gridlock ... because there are
too many convoluted formulas and too many hands
in the pot. Of course, consolidating things will be a
tough deal because we all want to be independent
entities.
The new jail
Favors a new and bigger facility as long as it is
bigger with a purpose and includes out of the
boxthinking at intake to determine, for example,
if inmates need education or programming and
have any skills or aptitude that can be nurtured to
help them assimilate back into society. He
participated in a partnership in which half the salary
of hiring inmate workers were paid by the
government and he thinks similar programs should
be explored.
Also interested in seeing if the county can make
arrangements with San Francisco for use of the San
Bruno jail.
Health care districts
The taxpayer dollars theyre holding onto who
gave them the right to do that without helping with
health care? ... Im not afraid to ask those questions
like What is the purpose? and Is there any better
way?
Balancing district vs. county needs
Im a believer in looking a person eye to eye and
theres a lot to be said for plain hard work and
getting your hands dirty. ... You need to nd the
right players and also get out and speak to people,
then bring their ideas back to the table with the
decision makers to get the job done.
Housing
I have mixed feelings in regards to [redevelopment
agencies] going away.For the most part,they did a
great job but it varied from city to city and it is a
loss no matter what.
Supports partnerships with existing housing
agencies but also approaching developers with
incentives to do business in San Mateo County.
District vs. at-large elections
Finds both arguments valid but supports district
elections.
Whoever is elected is a leader for the whole county.
That doesnt mean they ignore everybody else.They
still want to hear about transportation,housing and
jobs because it is all our responsibility for the whole
county.
Memo on the issues
longer needed. Thanks to a combination
of voter-backed bond funds and a state
grant applied for by Sky, Capuchino
High School now has a brand-new $6
million art building that opened for stu-
dents after spring break.
Work on the exterior isnt complete.
Internet isnt working quite yet. And, of
course, many of the cupboards are bare
as the future contents remain in storage
until slowly moved over. But Sky is
excited to see what hard work and
patience brought to the school a
completely customized art building.
Her vision offers lots of options. The
lobby will be a gallery for students. It
even has two mounted televisions to
showcase animation work. With options
for ceramics, a place to create special
effects, a sound room, a computer lab
for animation and a traditional art space,
Sky is still deciding the conguration of
items as the classes move in.
Ceramics projects are all around that
classroom. The animation lab isnt com-
pletely up and running yet but Skys two
skeletons are on display as on enters the
art room a setup that can also be seen
from the animation lab. She has big
dreams for the building which, when
nished, will be adorned on the outside
walls by tiles students started working
on last year using the inspiration of their
heroes.
Linda Lees Dwyer, trustee on the San
Mateo Union High School District
Board, was happy to see the investment
noting the district has been upgrading
facilities to support students in areas in
addition to the academic core. Dwyer
was particularly excited that the build-
ing will feature the work of students.
The building will support students
for years to come but the tile work will
honor the current students, she said,
adding a hope that students will one day
return to the school to show their work
to their children.
Getting funding for the project
required much work.
Voters in the San Mateo Union High
School District approved a $298 million
bond measure in 2006. In November
2007, Sky learned of the possibility to
apply for grant funds to further career
and technical training opportunities in
the classroom. Due in late January
2008, she relied on her mother and
daughter to edit the application. The
hard work paid off. In December 2008,
the district was awarded more than $11
million in grant money for a variety of
projects including $1.9 million for the
Capuchino art building. Unfortunately,
the state was dealing with budget issues.
Shortly after the announcement, the
Pooled Money Investment Board voted
unanimously to stop plans to actually
release the funds. It wasnt until March
2009 that state Treasurer Bill Lockyer
announced frozen funds would be rein-
stated with the sale of general obligation
bonds.
Those funds were intended to be
matched by Measure M money. With the
green light, Sky began working with
others on the building designs and
details. She helped point out the exact
places where plugs and Internet access
would be needed.
Todd Lee of Greystone West, who is
overseeing the Measure M projects,
described the building as quite unique.
The open structure with high ceilings
had much input from Sky, who relied on
years of experience to create a function-
al space. Lee also noted the location, on
the west side of the campus, will be the
home to visual and performing arts. The
theater and music building is still under
construction.
While the building is being complet-
ed, Sky is moving in and holding class-
es.
Im still trying to gure out where to
put the rst nail, she said of her efforts
to display the amazing variety of art cur-
rently placed on cabinets and counter-
tops along the edges of her classroom.

NATION/WORLD 31
Thursday April 19, 2012 THEDAILYJOURNAL
By Anne Gearan

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BRUSSELS Several NATO
allies promised Wednesday to
underwrite Afghanistans armed
forces after foreign troops depart, as
the United States and other nations
plan to pull away from the front
lines in Afghanistan next year.
U.S. ofcials were at pains to
show that the pressure to close
down an unpopular war will not
leave Afghanistans fragile govern-
ment and unsteady military in the
lurch.
There is no change whatsoever
in the timeline, NATO chief
Anders Fogh Rasmussen insisted.
The messages aimed at different
audiences are both challenged by
current events in Afghanistan,
where insurgents staged an impres-
sive, coordinated attack last week-
end that struck at the heart of the
U.S.-backed government and inter-
national enclave in Kabul.
Meanwhile, Taliban leaders are
boycotting peace talks the U.S. sees
as the key to a safe exit.
U.S. and NATO claims of
progress in Afghanistan were over-
shadowed by publication
Wednesday of gruesome photos that
purport to show U.S. troops posing
with the dismembered corpses of
Afghan militants.
Our strategy is right, our strategy
is working, Defense Secretary
Leon Panetta said following meet-
ing of NATO defense chiefs that
focused on the calendar for closing
down the war and the challenge of
paying for Afghanistans defense
for years to come.
We cannot and we will not aban-
don Afghanistan, he said. Also
attending the meeting was Secretary
of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The allies are nalizing a plan to
shift primary responsibility for
combat to Afghan forces and rm-
ing up a strategy for world support
to the weak Afghan government and
edgling military after 2014.
U.S., NATO ready plan to hand off Afghanistan combat

BEIRUT Syrian security forces
opened fire Wednesday on anti-
regime demonstrators surrounding
the cars of a U.N. team meant to
monitor a shaky cease-re, sending
the observers speeding off and pro-
testers dashing for cover, according
to activists and amateur videos.
The fresh violence in a suburb of
Damascus, the Syrian capital, pro-
vided the rst public glimpse of the
work of the small team struggling to
reinforce the international communi-
tys stumbling efforts to end 13
months of deadly conict in Syria.
The shooting, which wounded at
least eight people, could also com-
plicate the deployment of a larger
U.N. mission to help a cease-re
take hold between President Bashar
Assads forces and opposition ght-
ers.
The difculties of the teams mis-
sion was clear Wednesday during its
visit to the suburb of Arbeen, just
northeast of Damascus.
The team did not announce its
plans to visit the area, but a local
activist said residents guessed they
were coming when tanks posted
throughout the area withdrew early
Wednesday.
People quickly drew up signs as
well as a list of the 34 residents
killed since the start of the uprising
and information on the scores who
have been detained, an Arbeen
activist named Ahmed said via
Skype.
U.N. monitors flee Syrian protest after gunfire

WASHINGTON Defense
Secretary Leon Panetta apologized
Wednesday for gruesome, newly
revealed photographs that show
U.S. soldiers posing with the
bloodied remains of dead insur-
gents in Afghanistan. He said war
can lead young troops to foolish
decisions and expressed concern
the photos could incite fresh vio-
lence against Americans.
The White House called the two-
year-old photos reprehensible,
joining Panetta and other top mili-
tary ofcials in expressing regret
for the latest in a string of embar-
rassing missteps by the U.S. mili-
tary in a war thats built on earning
the trust and condence of ordi-
nary Afghans. In recent months,
American troops have been caught
up in controversies over burning
Muslim holy books, urinating on
Afghan corpses, an alleged mas-
sacre of 17 Afghan villagers and
other misdeeds.
This is war. I know that war is
ugly and its violent, and I know
that young people sometimes
caught up in the moment make
some very
foolish deci-
sions, Panetta
said. I am not
excusing that
behavior, but
neither do I
want these
images to bring
further injury
to our people
or to our relationship with the
Afghan people.
My apology is on behalf of the
Department of Defense and the
U.S. government, Panetta told a
news conference in Brussels fol-
lowing a meeting of NATO allies at
which the way ahead in
Afghanistan was the central topic.
The photos were published in
Wednesdays Los Angeles Times.
One shows members of the 82nd
Airborne Division posing in 2010
with Afghan police holding the
severed legs of a suicide bomber.
The same platoon a few months
later was sent to investigate the
remains of three insurgents report-
ed to have accidentally blown
themselves up and soldiers
again posed and mugged for a
photo with the remains, the news-
paper said.
Military photo scandal:
Leon Panetta apologizes
Leon Panetta
Our strategy is right, our strategy is working. ...
We cannot and we will not abandon Afghanistan.
