MAN IN 70s KILLS THREE NEAR JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER

The ongoing legal quarrel
between FlightCar and the city of
Millbrae continues, this time
FlightCar an airport business
that allows people to rent out
their personal cars is suing
Millbrae for irreparable damages,
lawyer fees associated with law-
suits with the city and requesting
Millbrae issue it use permits at
the same time the startup is plan-
ning to move its business to a
nearby city.
AFlightCar representative told
the Burlingame City Council
Monday night that the company
is working on something in
South San Francisco, said
Burlingame City Manager Lisa
Goldman. FlightCar has filed a
business application with South
San Francisco and the city is pro-
cessing it, said South San
Francisco Assistant City
Manager Kathy Mount.
The lawsuit filed in the state of
California in San Mateo County
Superior Court Wednesday is a
technical filing to make it clear
to the court the company has
covered all its bases and to prove
there wasnt a violation of use
permits which were originally
revoked on Nov. 12, 2013, said
FlightCars attorney Oliver
Lock Holmes. The city said it
was pulling the use permit
because of issues including three
FlightCar rentals being stolen
since the company moved into
the 14,159-square-foot 480 El
Camino Real site on two parcels
of the former Daland Nissan,
according to the police depart-
ment. Other issues included unap-
proved electrical generator use,
fire hazards and not maintaining
the landscape.
Theyre moving to another
location since theyve outgrown
that (the Millbrae) facility,
Holmes said. Theyre enjoying
good growth in business and will
announce the new location short-
l y.
The business will be moving
into the new location over the
next several days and its close
enough to Burlingame that the
business is keeping an overflow
lot there. The Burlingame City
Council approved FlightCars
conditional use permit for this
space on David Road off Rollins

Members of the Burlingame
Elementary School District Board
of Trustees seem mostly in favor
of consolidating parcel taxes onto
the November ballot for voter
approval.
The district currently has two
parcel taxes supporting its
schools, the latest, Measure E,
was approved in 2011 and was a
$76 per parcel per year levied for
four years, totaling about
$589,000 a year. Voters in the dis-
trict approved Measure B, a 10-
year $180 per year parcel tax, in
March 2010. The district would
like to consolidate these into one
and a study by Godbe Research
shows voters are mostly in sup-
port of such a measure, with more
than 70 percent
of those sur-
veyed saying
theyd vote yes.
The idea of
rolling it all
t o g e t h e r
received posi-
tive feedback,
s a i d
Superintendent
M a g g i e
MacIsaac.
The board is waiting to decide
whether to put a measure, which
would total $256 a year, on the
ballot until the district has had
meetings with the community,
including the parent teacher asso-
ciations, leaders and site councils.

The June race for the countys
chief elections ofcer and assessor-
county clerk-recorder looks pretty
familiar.
The same two people are cam-
paigning in 2014 as four years ago
although this time former county
supervisor Mark Church is the
incumbent and challenger John
Mooney is actually on the ballot
rather than running as a write-in
candidate.
Both men, albeit with very differ-
ent backgrounds, contend they are
best suited to helm the ofce with
four distinct components.
Church, 62, has a law degree and
served several years as a Millbrae
councilman and mayor and nearly
three terms on the Board of

Being deployed to the front
lines of one of the most tragic
natural disasters to strike the
West Coast was a job for which
4-year-old Amiga was born.
Last week, Karen Atkinson, a
San Carlos resident and mission
ready handler, left for Oso,
Wash. with her rescue canine to
assist in the search for victims
of the mudslide that spanned
about one square mile and
engulfed a rural neighborhood
March 22.
There just werent any words.
The force of the mudslide was
unbelievable. Cars were twisted
and reduced to the size of refrig-
erators. In some cases, houses
were moved hundreds of feet, the
ones that remained intact, and
you cant really get the whole
feeling because its so immense.
But the area where we were work-
ing was just, it looked like the
world ended, Atkinson said.
She and six other volunteers

Man with 1st name God
sues credit rating agency
NEWYORK ANew York City man
claims that a credit reporting agency
falsely reported he had no nancial
history because his rst name is God.
According to the New York Post,
God Gazarov of Brooklyn says in a
lawsuit that Equifax has refused to
correct its system to recognize his
name as legitimate.
He says an Equifax customer service
representative even suggested that he
change his name to resolve the issue.
Gazarov is a Russian native who is
named after his grandfather.
The 26-year-old owns a Brighton
Beach jewelry store and is a graduate of
Brooklyn College.
He says he has high scores with two
other major credit agencies.
The Post says Equifax did not return
calls or emails seeking comment.
In China, jar of French
mountain air fetches $860
BEIJING Beijing artist Liang
Kegang returned from a business trip
in southern France with well-rested
lungs and a small item of protest
against his home citys choki ng
pollution: a glass jar of clean,
Provence air.
He put it up for auction before a
group of about 100 Chinese artists and
collectors late last month, and it
fetched 5,250 yuan ($860).
Air should be the most valueless
commodity, free to breathe for any
vagrant or beggar, Liang said in an
interview. This is my way to question
Chinas foul air and express my dissat-
isfaction.
Liangs work is part of a gust of
recent artistic protest - and entrepre-
neurial gimmickry - reecting wide-
spread dissatisfaction over air quality
in China, where cities often are
immersed days on end in harmful pol-
lutants at levels many times what is
considered safe by the World Health
Organization. The chronic problem
has spurred brisk markets for dust
masks and home air puriers.
Chinas senior leaders have pledged
to clean the air, partly in response to a
citizenry increasingly vocal about
environmental issues. But it is a
daunting task that must be balanced
with demands for economic develop-
ment and employment crucial to main-
taining stability.
In February, 20 artists wearing dust
masks lay on the ground and played
dead in front of an altar at the Temple
of Heaven park in a performance art
protest in Beijing.
In March, independent artists in the
southern city of Changsha held a
mock funeral for what they imagined
would be the death of the citys last
citizen because of smog.
If smog cannot be effectively
cleaned up, what it will leave us is
death and cities of death, artist Shao
Jiajun said.
Liangs contribution is a short, ordi-
nary glass preserves jar with a rubber
seal and a ip-top. It has three small,
handwritten paper labels: one with the
name and coordinates of the French vil-
lage, Forcalquier, where he closed the
jar; one saying Air in Provence,
France in French; and one with his sig-
nature in Chinese and the date - March
29.
The auction closed on the night of
March 30, and Chengdu-based artist
and entrepreneur Li Yongzheng was
the highest bidder.
I have always been appreciative of
Kegangs conceptual art, and this
piece was very timely, Li said in a
telephone interview. This past year,
whether it was Beijing, Chengdu or
most Chinese cities, air pollution has
been a serious problem. This piece of
work really suits the occasion.
Liang is not the only one to make
money from Chinas air-pollution
angst. Entrepreneurs also see the
potential, and so do tourism ofcials
in parts of the country where skies are
clear.
Chinese President Xi Jinping joked
to Guizhou province delegates during
last months National Peoples
Congress that the scenic southwestern
province could put its air up for sale.
Days later, the provinces tourism
bureau announced plans to sell canned
air as souvenirs for tourists.

he Junipero Serra
Highway was planned in
the 1920s to relieve the
congestion on El Camino Real.
It was built to Hickey Boulevard
by the late 1920s but was not
completed to Crystal Springs
Road in San Bruno until the
1950s. Opposition to its con-
struction through Millbrae and
Burlingame forced a realignment
west to Skyline Boulevard in San
Bruno in the 1960s when the fed-
eral government began the multi-
laned, modern Interstate
Highways project that was to run
from coast to coast.
The interstate system offered a
great opportunity to communities
across the United States to relieve
congestion and speed up the ow of
trafc across the nation. In the
wide-open spaces of the Midwest,
the roads around communities could
be planned and rerouted through
open elds. The established com-
munities of the Bay area presented a
far different situation due to almost
maxed out developments of the
cities. For the interstate roads to be
constructed down the Peninsula,
existing structures and roads had to
be moved or torn up.
In San Bruno and South San
Francisco, parts of the existing
Junipero Serra were needed to com-
plete the interstate concept. The
city of Pacica presented a unique
situation. Highway 1 serviced the
citizens with only a two-lane road

Lights, camera, action, says a fth-
grader at Roosevelt Elementary School who
is part of the now award-winning Pencil
Box News.
The multi-media broadcast includes 12
students in fth- through eighth-grade and
the after-school program recently won a
Kent Exemplary Program Award. Students at
the Redwood City school develop global
awareness, literacy and technology skills,
as well as the 21st century skills of collab-
oration, presentation, creativity, problem
solving, critical thinking and decision-
making, by creating a weekly news pro-
gram, the award states.
Its collaborative, said Principal Trish
Girardi. They help each other mic up. Its
not just I just write an article on my own
type of thing. They use 21st century skills
of collaboration.
After the 2010 San Bruno Pacic Gas and
Electric explosion and fire, Roosevelt
teacher Jason Williams found that many of
his students didnt know what was going on
in the world.
I started asking current event questions
and they didnt have any idea about what
was going on, he said.
Students asked if they could film
Williams, who teaches fifth-grade and
advises them, on his iPhone when he shared
current events with them. They then asked
to create a news program. They went from
using a digital camera to a ip camera to
their current digital single-lens reex cam-
era. Additionally, students now have a green
screen, laptop for editing clips with
iMovie, microphones, high-tech lighting
and other materials. The website Donors
Choose helped the school raise money for
the camera and laptop. Williams paid for
much of the equipment out of his own pock-
et, while the parent teacher association
helped with other costs.
They learned how to use the equipment,
Girardi said. Some didnt know how to type
when they rst started.
Now, students meet 2:30 p.m.-4 p.m.
Mondays and Wednesdays. On Mondays,
they research and write about interesting
stories to cover from all news media
sources, such as the Internet, TV, newspa-
pers and radio. Students are motivated by a
desire to share their stories on lm, the stu-
dents strive to write about the most exciting
and intriguing news stories they can nd.
Then, on Wednesdays, students lm their
stories in one-minute segments. Students
cover four beats local news, national
news, world news and news at the school.
There are two to three kids per beat and they
cycle through beats.
One student named Mariah said she
enjoys the program because it helps her
keep up with the latest news, something she
didnt do before she started.
I dont have to be like that happened?
she said. I also like coming after school to
lm.
Two other students, Julianna and Denise,
said they like to search for articles and see
whats going on around the world. Juliana
wants to be a news reporter
when she grows up.
The program helps with
student confidence, Girardi
said.
Students are more self-
assured and willing to take
risks, she said. Its improved their writ-
ing and awareness of things going on
around them.
Students take on the roles of directors,
producers, filmers, production assistants,
set dressers, script supervisors and other
positions.
The San Mateo County School Boards
Association, representing 22 school dis-
tricts, the San Mateo County Community
College District, and the San Mateo

district-wide programs. Applicants must
demonstrate their programs promote stu-
dent success, employ a high degree of cre-
ativity and demonstrate transferability.
Named after the past San Mateo County
superintendent of schools, J. Russell Kent,
the association initiated the Kent Award
Program in the 1980-81 school year.
The Kent Awards ceremony will be 6 p.m.
May 19 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in
Foster City. Social hour and musical per-
formance by the San Carlos School
District Tierra Middle School Jazz Band

MARIN Sheriffs detectives conrmed
that the body of the missing 33-year-old
Menlo Park woman Magdalena Glinkowski
was found by search and rescue teams on Mt.
Tamalpais Saturday morning after she left
home on March 30, a sheriffs lieutenant said.
Glinkowskis body was discovered around
9:25 a.m. in Mt. Tamalpais State Park,
where she was believed to have been hiking
before her disappearance, according to
Marin County sheriffs Lt. Doug Pittman.
The search began again after a man who had
been trail-running the day Glinkowski went
missing recently reported that he had seen her
photo in the media and may have seen her
while running in the park, Pittman said.
We felt it was prudent to go back and do
an even more intense search, he said.
The man gave sheriffs deputies the loca-
tion he thought he last saw her. About 120
volunteers from Bay Area law enforcement
agencies resumed looking for Glinkowski
Saturday morning after the search was sus-
pended on Monday.
Search dogs and volunteers from the
Contra Costa County Sheriffs Ofce spot-
ted the female body Saturday morning,
about half a mile from the Bootjack parking
lot where Glinkowski was last seen.
Her body was found down a steep, south-
east slope, in a drainage area that Pittman
said is rarely traveled.
Detectives and personnel from the Marin
County coroners office were on scene
Saturday afternoon at the site where the
body was found.
Detectives used ngerprints to positively
identify Glinkowskis body. The cause of
her death has not yet been determined and an
autopsy is expected within 24 to 48 hours.
Atoxicology test may also be required and
could take a month, Pittman said.
No obvious indication of foul play was
present, Pittman said.
Glinkowski was reported missing after
not being seen near her Menlo Park home
since March 30. She left a note at home that
day saying she was going for a hike, accord-
ing to Pittman.
Her car was found on April 4 abandoned
near the Pantoll Campground and security
camera footage from March 30 showed her
walking across a nearby parking lot.
The discovery of the car prompted the
sheriffs ofce and other law enforcement
agencies to launch a large-scale search for
Glinkowski, which initially turned up no
sign of her.
According to her LinkedIn profile,
Glinkowski worked as a software developer
for the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology and at Purple Encoding in the
Bay Area. She previously worked for
Microsoft and Intel.

Supervisors before resigning after his elec-
tion four years ago to his current ofce.
Mooney, 79, of Redwood City, has never
held public ofce. He opted against being on
the ballot in 2010 because of the nearly
$4,000 cost of a statement but this year decid-
ed to cut the check. Hes running because he
has been involved in elections as a dual
inspector of two precincts in East Palo Alto
for some time and believes it would be very
easy to do a better job than Church, he said.
One of Mooneys main priorities is clean-
ing up the voting rolls to weed out the
deceased, those who moved and any others
unqualied to cast a ballot. Sparked in part by
a belief President Barack Obama is not quali-
ed to be president because of questions
about his citizenship, Mooney said if elected
he will be more diligent about verifying the
authenticity of voters and push for laws
requiring voters to show identication.
But Church said the rolls are updated sever-
al times a week based on notice by the
Secretary of States Ofce and local death and
moving alerts.
Church and Mooney, in varying degrees,
feel changes in voting could help with fraud
and cost. Church points to the special super-
visorial election to ll his seat when he was
rst elected to his current ofce. The all-mail
ballots had results in by
8:05 p.m. and cost a frac-
tion of a regularly held
election, he said.
Mooney calls all elec-
tronic voting a very,
very good idea but
using the Internet is a
bad idea because of
potential hacking and
identity theft. He doesnt
think there are ways to
speed up the returns because elections have
become more complex especially with all
the languages.
The diversity of cultures, languages and
values also make improved communications
between the ofce and the public challeng-
ing, Mooney said. For instance, he said, in
the Mexican culture the color red signies
gangs while in Chinese culture it stands for
luck, he added.
Church said his ofce can always strive to
make the often complex information from
his ofce more accessible but that much, par-
ticularly in regards to property assessments,
isnt easy to simplify.
Making the ofce more tech savvy on an
ongoing basis is a goal of both men but
Mooney said it can be walking a tightrope
to balance those who want to see more infor-
mation online and those who still prefer
doing business in person or on paper.
Both men also called last years post-
Election Day discovery of provisional bal-
lots unacceptable.
An internal investiga-
tion shows that oversight
by workers led to them
being overlooked and not
counted and has led to
changes such as a revised
voting center guide and
checklist, Church said.
Basically this is
human error that hap-
pened, Church said. I
dont want something
like this happening on my watch.
Church also recently changed how the
Elections Ofce veries the qualications of
potential candidates. After the questioning of
one controller candidate of an opponents
legal qualications to run headed into court
for nal judgment, Church said he made the
decision to require candidates to submit docu-
mentation such as degrees or Bar admittance.
For gray areas like controller which can be
satised by time as a senior scal manager
which is not dened further by the code
candidates can submit whatever they feel rel-
evant like former employer declarations or
job descriptions. Church said the matter can
still be challenged in court but the change
might head off that route.
When asked how he might change the qual-
ication process, Mooney returned to his
primary platform concerning Obamas citi-
zenship.
Mooneys background includes time in the
Air Force, ying planes and working as a
ight instructor. He also earned degrees in
mathematics, nance and business and taught
at the College of Notre Dame. He sees himself
like a coach, encouraging workers to do their
best and providing an equitable environment.
With his election four years ago, Church
followed in the footsteps of his father,
Marvin Church, who also served as Millbrae
councilman and the countys clerk-recorder
and registrar of voters from 1967 to 1987.
Church said he adjusted to his new role
pretty well but found one big difference in
making decisions as an elected department
head versus an elected supervisor.
Most notably I dont need two other
votes, he quipped.
Church said he reorganized the ofce to put
similar or related functions closer together
and improve productivity. If re-elected,
Church said his priorities are overseeing
implementation of a multi-million dollar
new assessor system, installing a new phone
system at both the Tower Road and Redwood
City locations and preserving the countys
historical records.
The ofce has responsibility for docu-
ments dating back to the countys incorpora-
tion and nothing has been done to protect
them for the future, he said. Church envi-
sions a public/private endeavor over several
years that includes scanning each document
and also treating the physical papers with a
process that will keep them safe for the next
500 years.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. Aman in his
70s opened re Sunday outside of a Jewish
community center and nearby retirement
community, killing three people, authori-
ties said.
Overland Park Police Chief John
Douglass said at a news conference Sunday
evening that a person who had been report-
ed to be in critical condition earlier was
among three killed in the attacks, which
apparently occurred minutes apart.
Today is a sad and very tragic day,
Douglass said. As you might imagine we
are only three hours into this investiga-
tion. Theres a lot of innuendo and a lot of
assertions going around. There is really
very little hardcore information.
Shots were fired behind the Jewish
Community Center of Greater Kansas City
in a parking lot about 1 p.m., Douglass
said. One male died at the scene, another
male died at a hospital. The gunman then
fled and opened fire at nearby Village
Shalom, killing a female, before later being
arrested near an elementary school. Two
other people were shot at, but the gunre
missed them, Douglass said.
Douglass said it was too early in the
investigation to determine if the shootings
were hate crimes. The Jewish festival of
Passover begins Monday.
We know it was a vicious act of violence,
and we know obviously it was at two Jewish
facilities. One might make that assump-
tion, Douglass said.
He described the suspect as a white man in
his 70s who is not from Kansas. He said the
suspect is being held at the Johnson County
Detention Center, but did not provide fur-
ther information.
We have no indication he knew the vic-
tims, Douglass said, adding that the sus-
pect was not known to Kansas City-area
authorities before the shootings. Douglass
said a shotgun was used, and investigators
were trying to determine whether a handgun
and assault-style rie also were involved.
The Jewish Community Center of Greater
Kansas City in Overland Park posted on its
Facebook page Sunday afternoon that a
shooting incident happened near its
White Theater entrance.
Everyone participating in JCC program-
ming has been released to their homes, the
center posted later Sunday.
There was a heavy police presence at the
campus, which spans several acres in an
affluent area of Johnson County, Kan.
Police had also taped off the entrance to
Village Shalom on Sunday afternoon, and
several patrol cars and a crime scene unit
van were parked in front.

RED BLUFF Federal investigators said
Sunday that they havent found physical
evidence conrming a witness claim that a
FedEx truck was on re before it slammed
into a bus carrying high school students,
killing 10 people in Northern California.
National Transportation Safety Board
member Mark Rosekind said investigators
are not ruling out a pre-impact re, but a re
expert did not nd evidence of ames as the
truck crossed a median, sideswiped a Nissan
Altima and crashed into the bus.
This is all preliminary and factual infor-
mation, Rosekind said at a news confer-
ence. We are not ruling anything out.
The bus was carrying 44 Southern
California high school students to a free
campus tour of Humboldt State University.
Many were hoping to become the rst in
their families to attend college. Five stu-
dents, three adult chaperones and both driv-
ers died and dozens were injured in
Thursdays collision in Orland, a small city
about 100 miles north of Sacramento.
Bonnie Duran, who drove the Altima and
survived with minor injuries, told investi-
gators and reporters Saturday that she had
seen flames emerging from the lower rear
of the trucks cab as it approached her car.
The bus was gutted and the truck was a man-
gled mess after an explosion sent flames
towering and black smoke billowing,
making it difficult for investigators to
track the source of the fire.
Rosekind said a blood test of the FedEx
truck driver could indicate whether he inhaled
smoke before his death. A family member
told the Sacramento Bee that the truck driver
was Tim Evans, 32, of Elk Grove.
On the day of the crash, the Sacramento-
based driver delivered freight to Weed,
Calif., and returned with an empty semi-
trailer and a partially loaded semi-trailer,
although investigators do not know the
contents.
The biggest questions for investigators
include why the truck had left its lane and
did not leave behind tire marks, suggesting
the driver did not brake. The investigation
will review maintenance records and the dri-
vers medical history, experience and
potential impairment.
The bus black box-style electronic con-
trol module was recovered and will be ana-
lyzed. The trucks device was destroyed, but
investigators will take other steps to ana-
lyze its speed and maneuvering.
Beyond the cause of the crash, the NTSB
will examine if any of its safety recommen-
dations could have reduced the death and
injury toll.
In this case, the transportation authori-
ties are focusing on seatbelts, escape routes
and re safety, though it has no authority to
enforce measures it recommends. This not
only includes examining defects and mis-
takes, but also looking for what voluntary
features and measures the companies
involved used that can serve as lessons for
future crashes. The bus was a brand-new
2014 model in operation for a month, and
its owner, Silverado Stages, has a strong
safety record.
The victims included passengers who
were thrown from the bus despite being vol-
untarily equipped with seatbelts. Under a
rule long sought by Rosekinds agency, all
new motor coaches and some other large
buses must include three-point lap-shoulder
belts beginning November 2016.
Regulators did not require existing buses
add seatbelts because it would have been too
expensive.

BERLIN The cost of keeping
global warming in check is rela-
tively modest, but only if the
world acts quickly to reverse the
buildup of heat-trapping gases in
the atmosphere, the head of the
U.N.s expert panel on climate
change said Sunday.
Such gases, mainly CO2 from
the burning of fossil fuels, rose
on average by 2.2 percent a year
in 2000-2010, driven by the use
of coal in the power sector, of-
cials said as they launched the
Intergovernmental Panel of
Climate Changes report on meas-
ures to ght global warming.
Without additional measures to
contain emissions, global tem-
peratures will rise about 3 degrees
to 4 degrees Celsius (5 degrees to
7 degrees Fahrenheit) by 2100
compared to current levels, the
panel said.
The longer we delay the higher
would be the cost, IPCC chair-
man Rajendra Pachauri told The
Associated Press after the panels
weeklong session in Berlin. But
despite that, the point Im mak-
ing is that even now, the cost is
not something thats going to
bring about a major disruption of
economic systems. Its well with-
in our reach.
The IPCC, an international
body assessing climate science,
projected that shifting the energy
system from fossil fuels to zero-
or low-carbon sources including
wind and solar power would reduce
consumption growth by about
0.06 percentage points per year,
adding that that didnt take into
account the economic benets of
reduced climate change. The loss
in consumption is relatively mod-
est, Pachauri said.
The IPCC said the shift would
entail a near-quadrupling of low-
carbon energy - which in the
panels projections included
renewable sources as well as
nuclear power and fossil fuel-red
plants equipped with technolo-
gies to capture some of the emis-
sions.
U.S. Secretary of State John
Kerry called it a global economic
opportunity.
So many of the technologies
that will help us fight climate
change are far cheaper, more read-
ily available, and better perform-
ing than they were when the last
IPCC assessment was released
less than a decade ago, Kerry
said.
The IPCC said large changes in
investments would be required.
Fossil fuel investments in the
power sector would drop by about
$30 billion annually while invest-
ments in low-carbon sources would
grow by $147 billion. Meanwhile,
annual investments in energy ef-
ciency in transport, buildings and
industry sectors would grow by
$336 billion.
The message contrasted with oil
and gas company Exxon Mobils
projection two weeks ago that the
worlds climate policies are
highly unlikely to stop it from
selling fossil fuels far into the
future, saying they are critical to
global development and econom-
ic growth.
Cost of fighting warming modest, says U.N. panel

DONETSK, Ukraine Turning
to force to try to restore its author-
ity in the vital industrial east,
Ukraines government announced
Sunday it was sending in troops to
try to quash an increasingly brazen
pro-Russian insurgency, despite
repeated warnings from the
Kremlin.
Accusing Moscow of fomenting
the unrest, Ukrainian President
Oleksandr Turchynov said in a tele-
vised address that such a large-
scale anti-terrorist operation
would ensure Russia did not repeat
the Crimean scenario in Ukraines
east. Turchynov pledged to offer
amnesty to anyone surrendering
their weapons by Monday morning.
Reliance on the military is a
response that hints at concerns
over the reliability of the police,
who have often proven unable or
unwilling to repel pro-Russian
gunmen and other Moscow loyal-
ists from seizing key state facili-
ties. With tens of thousands of
Russian troops massed along
Ukraines eastern border, there are
fears that Moscow might use unrest
in the mainly Russian-speaking
region as a pretext for an invasion.
Speaking late Sunday on Russian
state television, ousted president
Viktor Yanukovych accused the
CIA of being behind the new gov-
ernments decision to turn to force,
a claim the CIA denied as com-
pletely false.
Yanukovych claimed that CIA
director John Brennan met with
Ukraines new leadership and in
fact sanctioned the use of weapons
and provoked bloodshed.
CIA spokesman Dean Boyd said
that while the agency doesnt com-
ment on Brennans travel itinerary,
the claim that director Brennan
encouraged Ukrainian authorities to
conduct tactical operations inside
Ukraine is completely false.
Ukraine now has one foot into a
civil war, Yanukovych declared,
anked by his former prosecutor
general and interior minister, the
two associates most despised by
the protesters whose monthslong
demonstrations were ignited by
Yanukovychs decision to back
away from closer relations with the
European Union and turn toward
Russia. Yanukovych ed to Russia
in February, saying he feared for
his life.

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL
BASE, Cuba Attorney James
Connell has visited his client
inside the secret Guantanamo
prison complex known as Camp 7
only once, taken in a van with
covered windows on a circuitous
trek to disguise the route on the
scrub brush-and-cactus covered
military base.
Connell is allowed to say virtu-
ally nothing about what he saw in
the secret camp where the most
notorious terror suspects in U.S.
custody are held except that it is
unlike any detention facility hes
encountered.
Its much more isolating than
any other facility that I have
known, the lawyer says. Ive
done cases from the Vi rgi ni a
death row and Texas death row
and these pretrial conditions are
much more isolating.
The Camp 7 prison unit is so
shrouded in secrecy that its loca-
tion on the U.S. base in Cuba is
classied and ofcials refuse to
discuss it. Now, two separate but
related events are forcing it into
the limelight.
In Washington, the Senate
Intelligence Committee voted on
April 3 to declassify a portion of a
review of the U.S. detention and
interrogation program in the
aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001,
al-Qaida attack. The report, the
release of which is opposed by the
CIA, is expected to be sharply
critical of the treatment of prison-
ers, including some now held in
Camp 7.
And on Monday, a judge in
Guantanamo will open a hearing
into the sanity of one of those
prisoners, Ramzi Binalshibh,
whose courtroom outbursts about
alleged mistreatment in Camp 7
have halted the already bogged-
down effort to try ve men in the
Sept. 11 attacks, all of whom are
held there.
Both issues are deeply inter-
twined. Binalshibh has accused
the government of making nois-
es and vibrations inside Camp 7
to deliberately keep him awake,
reminiscent of the intentional
sleep deprivation, along with
other forms of abuse, that his
lawyers say he endured at the
hands of the CIAfrom the time he
was captured in Pakistan in
September 2002 to when he was
brought to Guantanamo four
years later.

OPINION 9
Retirement pay and Mr.
Horsley
Editor,
If I am an employer and include a
pension plan as part of an employ-
ee's compensation package, it is
done with the idea that the pension
will be a source of income in their
retirement. If an employee comes to
me at retirement age and says they
would still like to work, but would
also like to receive their pension in
addition to their salary, my answer
is going to be a firm but reasonable,
No.
Supervisor Horsley, who seemed
to understand this concept when he
ran for County Supervisor the first
time, now seems not to understand.
Succinctly put, he was an elected
official as sheriff, and worked for
the people of San Mateo County. We
paid him and we set aside funds for
his retirement. He is still an elected
official as County Supervisor and
works for the people of San Mateo
County. Of course we will pay him
for his work but we will not allow
him to also draw his retirement. He
chooses to draw his retirement and
that's fine, but he should not expect
to also draw his pay; it is unreason-
able to expect both.
Honestly, if Mr. Horsely cannot
grasp this concept, then perhaps it's
time for him to retire and we should
oblige him with our vote. We have
in Mr. Stogner a good alternative.
He's willing to do the job, is honest
and, frankly, wants to clean up the
nefarious kind of things that go on
in government, like Mr. Horsely
announcing he had started to take a
pay check in addition to his pen-
sion, thereby breaking his promise
to the people of San Mateo County
that he would not do so. This was
quietly done on Dec. 26, 2012, 46
days after he was already receiving
the two.

Sequoia healthcare
district benefits
Editor,
Jack Hickeys revelations on the
increased reimbursement of health-
care premiums, despite a memo from
their legal counsel to the contrary is
not surprising, but typical of the
district boards practices. OK,
increase was rescinded, and the other
amount needs to be repaid. Yes.
The city of Los Altos recently
voted to reduce and/or eliminate cer-
tain benefits to the City Council
because such benefits were not in
line with a part-time voluntary posi-
tion. In the meantime, the Sequoia
Healthcare District Board continues
to increase their benefits, with even
less time, and less dollar responsi-
bility, position.

Ignore this art
Editor,
Apiece of artwork purchased by
the city with funds procured years
ago through efforts by the former
Arts and Culture Commission stands
in the San Carlos downtown city
park.
This artwork has been constantly
disrespected: used as a balloon rack
and defaced with hand-written notes,
announcements and other unsightly
trivia.
This painted steel sculpture has
been trashed by the public, without
respect for the art or the artist. The
Parks and Recreation Department
seems content, neglecting to deal
with the issue. Its doubtful this will
change.
Others are not be so blind and less
caring.
Many Peninsula cities are doing
much more; they are combining art
and artists to enhance their parks,
buildings and streets with art.
The lack of concern and interest
by current San Carlos leaders and
businesses illustrate a growing atti-
tude devoid of appreciation, ability
or even need to cope with art and
artists in their community.
I have been a member and former
chair of the San Carlos Arts and
Culture Commission that has since
been terminated by city leaders for
having little or no value to the
city.

Letters to the editor
Orange County Register
I
t is no secret that labor unions
have tremendous pull with
Democratic politicians in
Sacramento, but that love affair went
to new heights earlier this month
when the Assembly passed a union-
backed resolution calling for an end
to the common practice of contract-
ing out certain services to private-
sector providers.
Assembly Resolution 29, spon-
sored by Assemblyman Jimmy
Gomez, D-Los Angeles, asserts that
the Assembly opposes outsourcing
of public services and assets, which
harms transparency, accountability,
shared prosperity and competition,
and supports processes that give pub-
lic service workers the opportunity to
develop their own plan on how to
deliver cost-effective, high-quality
services.
In fact, the resolution seeks to
eliminate transparency, accountabili-
ty and competition completely and
rely for services instead on govern-
ment monopolies.
The nonbinding measure also omi-
nously declares that the Assembly
intends to introduce and advocate for
responsible outsourcing legislation.
Competition provides the impetus
for providing goods and services at
the highest quality and the lowest
cost. It is precisely the lack of com-
petition that has led to government
inefciency. How often have we heard
public employee unions loudly com-
plain about a contracting proposal,
only to nd that, when they are forced
to compete with the private sector
they discover they can do the job for
much less. And in the rare case that
you get a really bad contractor, you
can re him. Try doing that with a
government agency.
To be sure, there are good and bad
ways of doing contracting.
Governments should use a transpar-
ent, competitive bidding process, uti-
lize performance-based contracting
which spells out desired service levels
and rewards contractors for exceeding
goals and punishes them for poor per-
formance and maintain strong con-
tract oversight.
Many of the things government
does are clearly commercial in nature,
and can be found in the Yellow Pages.
It would be a grievous mistake to deny
the benets and successes of outsourc-
ing and rely instead on monopolistic
bureaucracies whose budgets are deter-
mined by political inuence, rather
than by economic conditions and how
well they serve their customers.
A vote against competition The Leland Yee disease
W
hat do Leland Yees transgressions, House of
Cards, and the Supreme Court decision gutting
campaign nance laws have in common?
I watched the last installment, second season, of
House of Cards, where the brilliant but corrupt Vice
President Frank Underwood, has connived and murdered
his way to become President of the United States. That
was the night before the Leland Yee scandal erupted full
blast. Underwood, played by Kevin Spacey, declares he is
more interested in power than money. But the man who
helps him achieve his goal is the money broker in D.C.
Leland Yee, former school
board member, San
Francisco supervisor,
assemblyman and suspend-
ed state senator, wanted to
be San Franciscos mayor
but failed, saw his Senate
seat eliminated by redis-
tricting and hoped to stay
in politics by becoming
secretary of state. His
dream of remaining in pub-
lic ofce is dead. And hes
lucky if he escapes prison
time. His disease the
need for cash to nance
political ambition.
Every politician has the
same disease but most are
smart enough to avoid being caught in pay to play. The
U.S. Supreme Court has just made that disease more deadly
if not overwhelming for the body politic. Has American
politics gotten so rotten that a cynical TV series res-
onates? Now the very rich face few restraints on how much
money they can invest in candidates to buy inuence. We
already see the results of lax regulations traced to contribu-
tions and the inuence of lobbyists.
***
In 2006, I wrote a column called Follow the Money
which criticized Yee for his bill to allow pseudo slot
machines at race tracks followed by major contributions
from those who would benet most. His staff denied he was
engaged in pay to play. The San Francisco Chronicle
recently reviewed his voting record in the Assembly and
state Senate and found several instances where his actions
were counter to constituents best interests but earned him
major donations. While Yees behavior has been a disserv-
ice to the citizens he is supposed to serve and a disgrace to
a usually clean San Mateo County political establishment,
the impacts of his actions are mild compared to others.
***
Republican Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker signed legisla-
tion last year which allowed latitude in the construction of
a $1.5 billion open pit ore mine, adjacent to a tributary of
the Bad River, a vast water rich ecosystem. The law per-
mits the company to ll in pristine streams and ponds
with mine waste and has eliminated the usual public hear-
ings before a permit is issued. Company executives and
other mine supporters have donated a total of $15 million
to Walker and Republican legislators.
Remember the chemical spill which infected the water
supply of Charleston, W.Va. in January? We now know
that spill resulted from loosening of regulations and cut-
ting funds from the states regulators. According to The
New Yorker, West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, a day
before the spill, criticized federal environmental regula-
tions and vowed I will never back down from the E.P.A.
because of its misguided policies on coal. He is not
alone. Most politicians in the state are beholden to the
coal industry and its political contributions, including
Democrat U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, the former governor.
The recent Supreme Court decision, which knocked
down another campaign nance limit, will allow power
to collect around any member (of Congress) who can
command a national or regional base of wealthy donors.

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

Creating A Circle Of Gratitude
By Saying Thank You

WASHINGTON As millions of
Americans race to meet Tuesdays tax dead-
line, their chances of getting audited are
lower than they have been in years.
Budget cuts and new responsibilities are
straining the Internal Revenue Services
ability to police tax returns. This year, the
IRS will have fewer agents auditing returns
than at any time since at least the 1980s.
Taxpayer services are suffering, too, with
millions of phone calls to the IRS going
unanswered.
We keep going after the people who look
like the worst of the bad guys, IRS
Commissioner John Koskinen said in an
interview. But there are going to be some
people that we should catch, either in terms
of collecting the revenue from them or pros-
ecuting them, that were not going to
catch.
Better technology is helping to offset
some budget cuts.
If you report making $40,000 in wages
and your employer tells the IRS you made
$50,000, the agencys computers probably
will catch that. The same is true for invest-
ment income and many common deductions
that are reported to the IRS by nancial
institutions.
But if you operate a business that deals in
cash, with income or expenses that are not
independently reported to the IRS, your
chances of getting caught are lower than
they have been in years.
Last year, the IRS audited less than 1 per-
cent of all returns from individuals, the low-
est rate since 2005. This year, Koskinen
said, The numbers will go down.
Koskinen was conrmed as IRS commis-
sioner in December. He took over an agency
under siege on several fronts.
Last year, the IRS acknowledged agents
improperly singled out conservative groups
for extra scrutiny when they applied for tax-
exempt status from 2010 to 2012. The reve-
lation has led to ve ongoing investiga-
tions, including three by congressional
committees, and outraged lawmakers who
control the agencys budget.
The IRS also is implementing large parts
of President Barack Obamas health law,
including enforcing the mandate that most
people get health insurance. Republicans in
Congress abhor the law, putting another
bulls-eye on the agencys back.
The animosity is reected in the IRS budget,
which has declined from $12.1 billion in 2010
to $11.3 billion in the current budget year.
Obama has proposed a 10 percent increase
for next year; Republicans are balking.
Rep. Ander Crenshaw, R-Fla., chairman of
the House subcommittee that oversees the
IRS budget, called the request both mean-
ingless and pointless because it exceeds
spending caps already set by Congress.
Koskinen said he suspects some people
think that if they cut funds to the IRS, the
agency wont be able to implement the
health law. Theyre wrong, he said.
The IRS is legally obligated to enforce the
health law, Koskinen said. That means
budget savings will have to be found else-
where.
Koskinen said he can cut spending in
three areas: enforcement, taxpayer services
and technology. Technology upgrades can
only be put off for so long, he said, so
enforcement and taxpayer services are suf-
fering.
Last year, only 61 percent of taxpayers
calling the IRS for help got it. This year,
Koskinen said he expects the numbers to be
similar. To help free up operators, callers
with complicated tax questions are directed
to the agencys website.
Chance of being audited
by IRS is lowest in years
By Martin Grifth
Federal land managers conrmed Saturday
that they released all 400 or so head of cat-
tle rounded up on public land in southern
Nevada from a rancher who has refused to
recognize their authority.
The Bureau of Land Management took the
action after hundreds of states rights pro-
testers, including militia members, showed
up at corrals outside Mesquite to demand the
animals return to rancher Cliven Bundy.
The bureau issued a brief statement saying
the cattle were released due to escalating
tensions. Some protesters were armed with
handguns and ries at the corrals and at an
earlier nearby rally.
Las Vegas Police Lt. Dan Zehnder said the
showdown was resolved with no injuries
and no violence. Clark County Sheriff
Doug Gillespie was able to negotiate a reso-
lution after talking with Bundy, he said.
The release came only hours after Bureau
of Land Management chief Neil Kornze
announced an abrupt halt to the weeklong
roundup because of safety concerns.
The ght between Bundy and the Bureau of
Land Management widened into a debate
about states rights and federal land-use pol-
icy. The dispute that ultimately triggered
the roundup dates to 1993, when the bureau
cited concern for the federally protected tor-
toise in the region. The bureau revoked
Bundys grazing rights after he stopped
paying grazing fees and disregarded federal
court orders to remove his animals.
Kornzes announcement came after Bundy
repeatedly promised to do whatever it
takes to protect his property and after a
string of raucous confrontations between
his family members and supporters and fed-
eral agents during the weeklong operation.
Based on information about conditions
on the ground and in consultation with law
enforcement, we have made a decision to
conclude the cattle gather because of our
serious concerns about the safety of
employees and members of the public,
Kornze said in a statement.
Bundy did not immediately respond to
requests for comment.
Republican Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval
issued a statement praising the agency for
its willingness to listen to the states con-
cerns. He earlier criticized the agency for
creating an atmosphere of intimidation
and trying to conne protesters to a fenced-
in First Amendment area well away from
the sprawling roundup area.
The safety of all individuals involved in
this matter has been my highest priority,
Sandoval said. Given the circumstances,
todays outcome is the best we could have
hoped for.

SAN MATEO Entrepreneurs and
investors say Silicon Valleys fast-growing
nancial ties with Russias tech sector are
being slowed down by current political ten-
sions between the White House and the
Kremlin.
Its safe to say a lot of investors here are
taking a step back to see how the situation
will unfold, said Alexandra Johnson, who
manages a $100 million venture fund called
DFJ VTP Aurora, a Menlo Park, Calif.,
branch of Russian bank VTB.
For decades, Russias sophisticated scien-
tists and engineers remained at arms length
from Silicon Valleys venture capitalists
and marketing mavens. That changed in
recent years with a urry of investment,
largely sparked in 2010 when then-Russian
President Dmitry Medvedev visited the
region and met with high-tech leaders.
Russians investors, including billionaire
Yuri Milner, who has large stakes in
Facebook and Twitter, poured an estimated
$2 billion into U.S. tech rms over the past
three years, according to Johnson, who
organized a technology symposium with
venture capitalists and entrepreneurs last
month in San Mateo, south of San
Francisco.
But Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and
investors fear negative economic fallout
from Russias takeover of Crimea, its troop
buildup near Ukraines border and its
attempts to compel constitutional changes
in that country, markedly raising political
tensions with the West.
Secretary of State John Kerry has charged
Russia with creating a climate of fear and
intimidation and the Obama administra-
tion has frozen assets and revoked visas of
some Russian ofcials and their associates.
Among the concerns in this technology
center are whether visa limits will make it
hard for business travel or for scientists to
relocate. In addition, economic sanctions
could tighten the ow of dollars between
tech sectors in both countries. And for
those U.S. and Russian rms with ties to
Ukraine, rumors of a draft are fanning fears
that young entrepreneurs and engineers will
have to close up shop and ght .
Experts say an investment slowdown will
be temporary and will not untrack rapidly
growing, lucrative U.S.- Russia business
relationships in the long run.
Axel Tillmann, who invests Russian ven-
ture capital on behalf of government-spon-
sored RVC-USA, said the tensions are de-
nitely going to slow things down for a
while, describing a two- to three-month
suspension of additional investment by
Russian government funds in tech rms.
However, Tillmann said the flow of
investments is certain to resume because
Russian companies thrive on Silicon
Valleys entrepreneurship.

AUGUSTA, Ga. Bubba Watsons second
Masters title was nothing like the green
jacket he won two years ago.
The only daring shot Watson hit was one
he really didnt need. The wild swing in
momentum came on the front nine, not the
back nine of Augusta National. And the
sweetest difference of all Sunday was seeing
his 2-year-old son walk toward him on the
edge of the 18th green after his three-shot
victory over Jordan Spieth.
Watson turned in another masterpiece and
joined an elusive group as the 17th player
to win the Masters more than once.
He turned a two-shot decit into a two-
shot lead on the nal two holes of the front
nine, then kept Spieth, 20, and everyone
else at safe distance the rest of the way.
Watson closed with a 3-under 69 to beat a
pair of Masters rookies in Spieth and Jonas
Blixt of Sweden.
Two years ago, when he hit that wild hook
out of the trees on the 10th hole to win in a
playoff, his wife and newly adopted son
were watching at home in Florida. This
time, young Caleb was decked out in a
green-and-white striped Masters shirt and
green tennis shoes as he waddled over to his
father.
This ones a lot different, Watson said.
The rst one, for me, it was almost like I
lucked into it.
After high-ving the crowd on his way to
sign his card, Watson returned to Butler
Cabin to take back that green jacket he
slipped on Adam Scott a year ago.
After giving it away last year, I wanted it
back, Watson said. I told Adam we could
just swap it back and forth every year.
Spieth, trying to become the youngest
Masters champion, could only watch from
the side of the green.
He dazzled the massive crowd early by
holing out for birdie from the front bunker
on No. 4, and making back-to-back birdies
to build a two-shot lead through seven
holes. Bidding to become the rst player in
35 years to win a green jacket in his rst try,
Spieth looked to be well on his way.
But he three-putted for bogey on No. 8
the rst 6 on his card all week as Watson
Bubba reigns again in Augusta with second Masters win

Giants reliever Jeremy Affeldt made his second rehab appearance of the year Saturday in San
Jose. The veteran southpaw looks ready to make another World Series run in 2014.

Was Brian Wilson the original beard to
fear on the 2010 World Championship
Giants team?
After Wilson pitched a scoreless eighth
inning at the 2010 All-Star Game in
Anaheim, his orange shoes were the talk
of the town, not his beard or lack
thereof one. Amonth later, when Jeremy
Affeldt began a three-week stint on the
disabled list, the veteran left-hander start-
ed growing a healthy beard, as players on
the disabled list are prone to do.
I kind of had a lazy, didnt-feel-like-
shaving beard, Affeldt said. He kind of
went with the full beard and grew it out, and
then everybody was like, Hey, we should
keep growing our beards. So, we did.
Since starting the 2014 season on the
disabled list with a sprained MCL of the
right knee, Affeldt once again has the
lazy-mans whiskers brewing. But with
his two solid rehab appearances last week
at Giants High-A afliate San Jose, it is
clear Affeldt is ready to get back to work.
Affeldt, 34, debuted Thursday with a
perfect inning of relief against Reds
High-A afliate Bakerseld. Saturday, he
worked two scoreless innings against the
Blaze in a 22-pitch outing. More impor-
tantly, he showed off his agility in run-
ning over to rst base to potentially
cover the bag on a groundout to second
San Jose second baseman Rando Moreno
got the ball over to rst baseman Trevor
Brown without having to involve Affeldt
in the putout but the knee responded
ne, according to Affeldt.
They wanted to make sure I covered the
bag and I havent covered the bag yet
(this season), Affeldt said. Tonight was
the rst night, which was great. Kind of
cover, run over there and just change
direction.

injuries throughout his career. His initial

GLENDALE, Ariz. The San Jose Sharks
had been trying to get Joe Pavelski to 40
goals for three games, looking for him at
every chance, sending extra passes his way.
Pavelski got No. 40 out of the way quick-
ly against Phoenix and the Sharks got
through a difcult game for a nice postsea-
son tune-up to boot.
Pavelski had two goals to become the
fourth player in team history with 40 goals
in a season and San Jose closed out the reg-
ular season with a 3-2 win over the Coyotes
on Saturday night.
It was nice it comes right away in the
game, Pavelski said of goal No. 40. I
could feel everyone try to pass to me, so its
cool, but the win obviously is nice going
into the playoffs. Guys feel good about
themselves.
The Sharks wrapped up a playoff spot
more than three weeks ago and already had
their rst-round matchup set up, so there
wasnt much to gain against the playing-
out-the-string Coyotes.
Pavelski knocked out his milestone on a
power play 3:43 into the game and added
No. 41 midway through to join Owen
Nolan, Jonathan Cheechoo and Patrick
Marleau in San Joses 40-goal club.
The rest of the game was ugly at times,
lled with turnovers and mistakes, but the
Sharks found a way to grind out a victory
before getting a rematch against the Los
Angeles Kings in the playoffs.
Logan Couture scored, Dan Boyle had a
pair of assists and Antti Niemi stopped 30
shots, including Shane Doan on a break-
away late in the third period for San Jose.
This one was a tough to watch and be part
of, the turnovers, the casualness, it was
kind of a no-hitter from both teams, which
beneted us, obviously, to stay healthy,
Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. Im glad

SAN FRANCISCO Brandon Crawfords
rst splash hit came at a most opportune time.
Crawford led off the 10th inning with a
game-ending drive into McCovey Cove to
give the San Francisco Giants a 5-4 victory
over the Colorado Rockies on Sunday.
It feels good, he said. I wanted to hit
one in there for a long time. Im glad I nal-
ly got to.
Pablo Sandoval also homered and Angel
Pagan drove in two runs for the Giants, who
bounced back from a 1-0 loss on Saturday to
take two of three in the series.
Crawford turned on the second pitch
thrown by Rex Brothers (1-1) and drove it
into the water on the y for his rst career
walkoff homer and rst splash homer.
He smoked that one, manager Bruce
Bochy said. I asked him if he ever hit one
further.
The homer also helped Crawford show
Bochy that he deserves more at-bats against
left-handed pitchers. Bochy said earlier this
season that Crawford might sit against cer-
tain lefties after hitting just .199 off them
last season.
But he is 7 for 14 so far this year against
lefties with no bigger hit than the one
against Brothers.
Thats what you want these guys to do is
take anything that you may throw at them
that may not have them in the game as a
challenge, Bochy said. To his credit, hes
done that.
Sergio Romo (1-0) pitched a scoreless
10th for the win.
Wilin Rosario and Justin Morneau hit
solo homers for the Rockies, who have lost
15 of their last 18 games in San Francisco
and have not won a series here since 2010.
But the Rockies got bad news after the
game when they learned lefty Brett
Anderson broke the index finger on his
throwing hand Saturday and is expected to
Crawfords blast

Hillsdale 8, Wilcox 6
The Knights scored a key non-league vic-
tory over Wilcox (14-6 overall) Saturday at
Hillsdale. After Hillsdale jumped out to a
four-run lead in the rst, Wilcox rallied back
to tie it in the third. Hillsdale responded by
retaking the lead with one run in the fourth
then adding critical insurance runs in the
fifth and sixth. Senior slugger Conner
Wallace hit a two-run homer in the fth, his
third of the season. Wallace, Riki Urata and
Adam Schembri each had two hits.
Schembri battled on the mound to go 6
1/3 innings to earn the win, improving his
unbeaten record to 6-0. Wilcox looked to
have the junior on the ropes all afternoon,
as he yielded seven hits, ve walks and
three hit batsmen. The Knights also com-
mitted three errors. But Wilcox stranded 14
base runners throughout. Senior right-han-
der Chandler Vieria came on in the seventh
to earn his second save. The win is the
Knights 10th on the year as they improve
to 10-4 overall.
South City 4, Washington 3
Washington (6-14 overall) scored three in
the second but the Warriors chipped away to
tie it in sixth before walking off with the
victory Saturday at Orange Park. South City
senior Tyler Keahi was 2 for 4 with two
RBIs and a pair of doubles and junior
Mavricio Mabutas was 2 for 3. Sophomore
starter Retesh Gupta worked six innings to
take a no-decision while junior Daniel Perez
earned the win in releif with two strikeouts
in a scoreless seventh, improving to 3-3 on
the season. With the non-league win, South
City improves to 11-9 overall.
Menlo-Atherton 6, Los Altos 3
Los Altos (4-11 overall) jumped out to a

worked six innings to earn the win, improv-
ing to 2-1 on the season. Erik Amundson

The Oaks evened up their record in
California Pacic Conference play at 11-11
with a pair of dramatic comeback wins in a
doubleheader sweep Saturday in Klamath
Falls, Oregon. Menlo leadoff hitter Alex
Boucher 5 for 9 with three RBIs and three
runs scored on the day. In Game 1, the Oaks
entered their nal at bat trailing 12-9 but
rallied for seven runs in the ninth. In the
nightcap, Oregon Tech led 8-7 in the
eighth, but Menlo scored single runs in the
eighth and ninth to complete the sweep.
John Schott earned the win in Game 1 to
improve to 4-0 and Kyler Vega tabbed the
win in Game 2 to improve to 4-2. Danny
Chavez currently leads the Oaks in wins
with a 5-2 record. The two teams did it all
over again Sunday, concluding a four-game
series with a second twin bill in as many
days. Results for Sundays games were not
available at press time.
Local Sports Briefs
got up-and-down for birdie to tie for the lead.
Spieth then made a rookie mistake, leaving
his approach below the agstick on No. 9 and
watching it roll back into the fairway, setting
up another bogey and two-shot swing.
Whatever prayer he had might have ended
at Amen Corner.
His tee shot on No. 12 found Raes Creek.
He missed a short birdie attempt on the 13th.
Watson was too powerful, too experi-
enced, too tough to beat. Spieth closed with
six pars for a 72 and tied for second with
Blixt, who never went away but never really
threatened. Blixt shot a 71.
Watson nished at 8-under 280 and goes
to a career-best No. 4 in the world.
Miguel Angel Jimenez shot 71 and n-
ished alone in fourth. Matt Kuchar lost a
share of the lead with a four-putt double
bogey on the fourth hole and never chal-
lenged again. He closed with a 74 and tied
for fth with Rickie Fowler (73).
This was nine holes of theater everyone
expected out of Sunday at Augusta National
except it was the front nine.
Nine players were separated by three
shots at the start of the nal round only for
this to turn into a two-man show.
After trading pars on the opening hole,
either Watson or Spieth sometimes both
made birdie or bogey over the next nine holes.
They matched birdies on the par-3 fourth
hole when Spieth holed out from the front
bunker and Watson hit his tee shot into 4
feet. Spieth led by as many as two shots for
most of the front nine, and his spectacular
overshadowed a steady hand from Watson.
Two holes to close out the back nine
changed everything. Amen Corner swung
the Masters in Watsons favor for good.
About the only excitement came on the
par-5 15th hole, when Watson had a three-
shot lead. He hit his tee shot well left,
blocked by a few pine trees. Instead of lay-
ing up safely in front of the water, he hit
through the trees with a shot that just
cleared the false front of the green and went
just over the back.
All he got was a par. Over the nal hour,
thats all he really needed.
It was his second win this year, and the
victory puts Watson at the top of the Ryder
Cup standings. He was guided all week by a
simple game plan of hitting fairways and
greens, and he was calmed by knowing that
regardless of how it turned out, he still had a
green jacket.
Now he has two of them.
GOLF
this ones over and we can focus on
playing playoff hockey.
The Coyotes were knocked out of
playoff contention Friday night.
Goalie Mark Visentin gave up two
goals in the opening 10 minutes of his
NHL debut before settling down, stop-
ping 29 shots.
Mike Ribeiro and Doan scored for
the Coyotes, who have not won since
March 27.
Visentin was caught out of position
on a power play early in the rst period
and Pavelski whipped a wrister past
him on a short rush. Pavelski beat him
again midway through the period,
squeezing a shot from the short side
past his stick side.
Visentin made some tough saves in
trafc. Couture scored 38 seconds into
the third period.
Ribeiro scored midway through the
second period, taking a pass from
Radim Vrbata, waiting until Niemi
committed, then ipping a shot that
went off the inside of the goalies
glove arm into the net.
Coutures goal put San Jose up 3-1,
but Doan cut the lead back to one quick-
l y, beating Niemi on a one-timer from
the right faceoff dot 44 seconds later.

SEATTLE Yoenis Cespedes hit a
two-run homer that broke a scoreless
tie in the eighth inning, lifting the
Oakland Athletics over the Seattle
Mariners 3-0 Sunday.
Cespedes pulled a 2-2 slider from
Charlie Furbush (0-1) into the left-
eld bullpen. Cespedes second homer
of the season came after Jed Lowrie
drew a leadoff walk.
Josh Donaldson added a solo home
run in the ninth, his third, off Lucas
Luetge.
As starter Scott Kazmir pitched two-
hit ball for six innings, striking out
nine without a walk.
Dan Otero (2-0) retired two batters in
the seventh. Luke Gregerson worked
the eighth and Sean Doolittle allowed
one hit in the ninth for his rst save.
Chris Young made his rst start since
Sept. 9, 2012, while with the New York
Mets. Troubled by shoulder problems
all last season, he went to spring camp
this year with the Nationals, was
released and signed during the last week
of training camp by Seattle.
Young pitched six shutout innings,
giving up four hits. He walked three
and struck out two.
Youngs other outing for Seattle was
a two-inning scoreless stint in relief.
Kazmir didnt allow a runner and
struck out six the rst time through the
lineup. The Mariners got back-to-
back, one-out singles by Brad Miller
and Robinson Cano in the fourth, but
Kazmir retired Corey Hart on a
grounder and struck out Justin Smoak
with a 78 mph changeup.
The Mariners only other scoring
threat came with two outs in the sixth
when Brad Miller sent right elder Eric
Sogard to the wall to bring down his
yball.
Cano, who singled in the fourth, has
a 14-game hitting streak against
Oakland dating to Sept. 22, 2012.
NOTES: Seattle manager Lloyd
McClendon isnt sure about Major
League Baseballs expanded replay for-
mat. Im really worried about where
were heading with replays, the effect
its having on the game, the effect its
having on the fans, Mariners manag-
er Lloyd McClendon said. Its confus-
ing. McClendon is concerned about
the outeld transfer rule, when umpires
look to be sure elders successfully
switch the ball from the glove to their
hands. The Mariners already have had
three such plays this season, with
mixed results. It was made for the
play at second, on the double-play
ball, As manager Bob Melvin said. I
dont think anyone thought it would
come into play in the outeld as youre
seeing right now. Both managers
have had to talk to their players to be
certain that runners go against their
instincts and watch the umpires, not
the play, in order to advance or hold. I
think the players are struggling more
than the managers, McClendon said.
Initially, I thought Id be a fan of it.
But Im not so sure now.

Cespedes homer lifts As over Ms
SHARKS
By Anne M. Peterson
PORTLAND, Ore. LaMarcus Aldridge scored 26 points,
including the go-ahead jumper in overtime, and the
Portland Trail Blazers defeated the Warriors 119-117
despite a season-high 47 points from Golden States
Stephen Curry.
Aldridges jumper with 39.9 seconds to go gave the
Blazers a 118-117 lead. Damian Lillard added a free throw
for Portland before Andre Iguodala missed a 3-pointer with
2.9 seconds left and Wesley Matthews grabbed the rebound
for the Blazers.
Matthews added 24 points for Portland, which has won
four straight and eight of its past nine games.
Both teams are jockeying for final position in the
Western Conference. Portland is in fth place behind
Houston and Golden State sits behind the Blazers in sixth.
With the victory, Portland (53-28) was assured of at least
the fth seed in the playoffs. The Blazers close out the sea-
son Wednesday against the Clippers.

miss four to six weeks.
We have to play the hand were
dealt with here, manager Walt
Weiss said. His arm is great and
so is everything else. Its better
than having arm trouble.
The Giants nearly won it in the
ninth, when Gregor Blanco hit a
drive off the wall in right eld with
two outs and nobody on. When
Michael Cuddyer misplayed the
carom off the wall, Blanco tried to
score on the play but was thrown
out on a relay from second base-
man D.J. LeMahieu to Rosario.
The play was eerily similar to one
last year when Pagan shocked the
Rockies with a game-ending, two-
run, inside-the-park homer in the
10th inning of a 6-5 win May 25.
I saw it develop and thought
this cant happen to you two years
in a row, Weiss said. But Cuddy
kept his cool, gave D.J. a good
throw and then D.J. then made
good throw to home.
Tim Hudson appeared to be cruis-
ing to this third straight win to open
his Giants career, taking a 4-2 lead
into the eighth inning.
But then Nolan Arenado and
LeMahieu opened with doubles to
cut the Giants lead to 4-3. Pinch-
hitter Drew Stubbs tied it with a
one-out single off Javier Lopez.
I would have been sick if we had
lost this game because I felt like I
had a pretty good game and then in
the eighth inning we were tied up,
Hudson said.
Hudson allowed four runs and
ve hits in 7 1/3 innings. He has-
nt walked a batter in 23 innings,
setting a San Francisco record for
most consecutive innings without
a walk to open the season.
The Giants had given Hudson the
lead when they broke a 17-inning
scoreless streak by scoring three
runs in the fth inning against
Tyler Chatwood with a sacrice y
by Crawford and two-run single
from Pagan.
Sandoval hit a homer in the sixth.
The Giants open a three-game
home series Tuesday against the
Dodgers with Tim Lincecum (0-1)
facing Josh Beckett (0-0).

GIANTS
knee sprain in 2012 put him in a
knee brace. He suffered a groin
injury last year that forced him to
undergo surgery. Since reinjuring
his knee in March during spring
training, he has been forced yet
again to dawn the knee brace.
And those are just the ailments
since the fear-the-beard cam-
paign of 2010.
Through it all though, Affeldt
has never been placed on the dis-
abled list due to an arm injury.
Saturday, the arm looked primed to
help the big-league bullpen soon-
er rather than later.
Everything went good for me
and my stuff is in a pretty good
rhythm right now, Affeldt said.
The sinker is sinking, the curve
is curving. So, thats what Im
looking to see.
The challenge facing the
Giants will be to find room for
Affeldt in the crowded bullpen.
Each of the current relievers on
the 25-man roster is out of
minor-league options.
Medically hes clear, said
Bobby Evans, Giants vice presi-
dent and assistant general manag-
er. So, its really just a matter of
finding a window where, from a
baseball standpoint, hes ready
to go. And its really a tough time
for us because we have guys
pitching well at the big-league
level. So, we have to clear a spot,
which will be the harder decision
than anything.
With Affeldt currently in the
second year of a three-year con-
tract, Evans is as optimistic now
as the day they inked the two-
time World Championship setup
man two weeks after the close of
the 2012 season.
We had just won a World Series
and he was a big part of that,
Evans said. I think your only way
to nish a game is with one of the
best bullpens you can put togeth-
er. It takes a lot of pressure off the
starters when you have a solid
bullpen. Theres no wavering on
my end on what Affeldt can con-
tribute to our pen going forward.
Affeldts current contract is not
unlike the deal he signed just
before the start of the 2010 sea-
son. One year from potential free
agency, he inked a two-year
extension going into San
Franciscos first World Series run.
And even though he spent a por-
tion of that year on the disabled
list, the season turned out to be a
pretty awesome one for Affeldt
and the Giants.
It was during that postseason
Wilsons beard was immortalized.
Affeldt, after being activated from
the disabled list in mid-August,
trimmed his beard down to the
wicked stripe he was wearing when
he and the Giants battalion of
southpaws dominated the mighty
left-handed-heavy Phillies lineup
in the decisive Game 6 of the
National League Championship
Series.
Affeldt was the first of three
left-handed relievers to enter the
game on that fateful October
night. The trio kept the elimina-
tion game deadlocked at 2-2.
When Juan Uribe slammed the
game-winning home run to right
field in the eighth, lefty Javy
Lopez had just finished his per-
fect one-inning stint to punctuate
the parade of four consecutive
southpaws including starting
pitcher Jonathan Sanchez
before turning it over to a pair of
All-Star right-handers in Ti m
Lincecum and Wilson.
We stacked it, Affeldt said.
We needed to carry enough left-
ies to compete with them and we
had to throw the whole kitchen
sink at them. That was Game 6.
You dont really want to go to a
Game 7. But that team had heart
and in that situation we put it all
on the line right there and it
worked out for us.
The rest, as they say, is history.
According to Affeldt though,
Wilson is ttingly the purveyor of
the fear-the-beard era.
I would say Wilson, Affeldt
said. And you know food gets
in it and all kinds of stuff. Ill let
him have that beard.

By Greg Beacham
LAS VEGAS Manny Pacquiao won a
unanimous decision in his rematch with
Timothy Bradley on Saturday night, aveng-
ing his 2012 loss and claiming the WBO
welterweight title.
Pacquiao (56-5-2) pursued and peppered
the previously unbeaten Bradley around the
MGM Grand Garden ring with an aggressive
performance recalling the Pacman in his
prime. Bradley fought back with counter-
punching and elusiveness, but Pacquiao
kept up his attack while Bradley (31-1)
struggled down the stretch.
Pacquiao left little doubt about the result of
the rematch in the same arena where they met
nearly two years ago. Bradleys split-deci-
sion victory astonished most ringside
observers, who felt Pacquiao had earned a
clear decision.
Judges Craig Metcalfe and Michael Pernick
scored the rematch 116-112 for Pacquiao,
while Glenn Trowbridge favored him 118-110.
You won the fight, you deserved the
win, Bradley said. I have no excuses.
Pacquiao landed 35 percent of his 563
punches, while Bradley connected with just
22 percent of his 627 blow. Pacquiaos jab
was much more effective, landing 23 per-
cent to Bradleys 11 percent, and the
Pacman landed power punches 148-109.
Pacquiaos performance righted one of
the biggest perceived wrongs in recent
boxing history. Pacquiao was an eight-
division world champion on 15-ght win-
ning streak when Bradley was awarded a
split decision in their last bout.
Pacquiao was more aggressive and accu-
rate from the opening minutes of the
rematch, sticking to trainer Freddie
Roachs pleas to take the action to Bradley.
Although Pacquiao couldnt knock down
Bradley, he consistently attacked all night.
Pacquiao landed a series of big left hands in
the early rounds, knocking back Bradley
with gusto. Bradley responded impressively
in the fourth round, wobbling Pacquiao twice
with a right hand.
The pace slowed in the fth, with Bradley
showing off his defense and movement
while Pacquiao attempted to trap him
against the ropes.
Pacquiao appeared to wobble Bradley late
in the seventh round with a vicious combi-
nation, but Bradley stood with his back
against the ropes and deantly encouraged
it, blocking most of the shots.
Bradley came on strong in the 12th, and
the fighters heads collided late in the
round. Pacquiao avoided any trouble until
the nal bell, when he did a short dance step
to his corner.

NL GLANCE NBA GLANCE
The Warriors (49-31) missed out
on reaching 50 wins for the rst time
since 1993-94, but they have two
games to go in the regular season.
It was Currys sixth career 40-
point game, and third this season.
Klay Thompson added 25. The
Warriors made 17 3-pointers.
Draymond Green hit a 3-pointer
to tie it late in the fourth quarter
and Matthews missed a corner 3 as
time ran out to send the game into
overtime.
Currys 3 gave Golden State a
111-110 lead in overtime. After
Matthews scored on a bank shot
and free throw, Thompsons 3 gave
the Warriors back the lead.
Matthews and Thompson
exchanged 3s before Aldridges
jumper gave the Blazers the lead
and the Warriors couldnt answer.
Portland activated backup for-
ward Joel Freeland, who has been
out since Feb. 11 with a sprained
MCL in his right knee, but he did
not play. Spanish forward Victor
Claver was moved to the inactive
list with Freelands return.
Portland pulled ahead 19-16 in
the first quarter on a 10-0 run
capped by Mo Williams 20-foot
step-back jumper. Robin Lopez
extended the lead to 34-25 with a
layup on a pass from Lillard.
Curry tied it at 38 with a driving
layup, but Aldridge answered with a
long jumper to keep Portland in
front. Iguodalas late dunk pulled
the Warriors to a 46-44 lead before
Curry hit a 3-pointer. Lillard fouled
Curry from 3-point range at the
buzzer and Curry made all three free
throws to put Golden State up 52-
44 at the break.
GSW
The Warriors ended the half on a
14-2 run. Curry led all players
with 21 points.
David Lees short jumper mid-
way through the third quarter made
it 67-59 for the Warriors. But
Portland closed in and took at 70-
69 lead on Williams jumper late in
the period.
Portland rallied early in the nal
quarter, taking an 87-77 lead on
Lillards 3-pointer. But Currys 3-
pointer and a jumper pulled the
Warriors within 95-93 with 6:01
left. Iguodalas basket tied it at 95
with 4:54 to go.
The two teams wrestled the rest
of regulation. Klay Thompsons
long jumper gave Golden State a
102-101 edge with 41.9 seconds
to go before Aldridge made a pair
of free throws.
Curry drove for a layup but
missed and Matthews made free
throws to give the Blazers a 105-
102 lead, but Greens step-back 3-
pointer tied it at 105 with 3.6 sec-
onds left. Matthews 3 missed as
time ran out.
Notes: Curry extended his NBA-
leading streak of 68 straight
games with a 3-pointer. He is now
fifth for the longest streak all
time, matching Reggie Miller. . . .
Greens game-tying 3 at the end of
regulation was his only basket of
the game. ... Both Thompson and
David Lee fouled out of the game
for the Warriors.

T
wo men dressed in dark suits and
sunglasses walked stiffly into
our Pick of the Litter secondhand
shop on Chula Vista Avenue in
Burlingame. We want to buy all your
luggage, they said. Turns out the duo, a
cross between the Blues Brothers and the
two leads in Men In Black, were federal
agents shopping for their agencys dogs
who are trained to sniff out contraband
in passengers luggage. We were more
than happy to make the sale and make
SFO a safer destination. Aquick Google
search for uses for used luggage will
turn up dozens of images and clever
upcycles, the new term for recycling
while creating a better use. There are
several examples of hard sided-suitcases
used for the main, top part of a night-
stand. Our favorite, of course, is using a
hard-sided case for a pets bed. Using
one half of the suitcase, lined with a pil-
low or a few blankets, makes a cozy bed
for a cat or small dog, and a swanky
statement in your home. We have two
powder blue suitcases at our Pick of the
Litter right now, a few black ones and a
reddish-colored one. Or, how about an
old wooden chair turned into an elevated
feeding station for your larger dog? Two
chairs side by side, each with a circular
hole cut in the seat to recess your dogs
food and water bowls. I saw that one on
Pinterest. Because there are so many
clever ways to reuse and upcycle (and
because we have many pre-owned finds
in our shop and every sale benefits
homeless animals), Pick of the Litter is
holding a contest. Show us before and
after photos and describe how you reused
or upcycled something in our shop and
well give you fun bucks to spend at the
Pick. Check out the Pick of the Litters
Facebook page by the end of the week
for details.

DATEBOOK/LOCAL
By Jake Coyle
NEWYORK Captain America contin-
ued to ex its Marvel muscle at the global
box ofce, as The Winter Soldier took in
$41.4 million domestically and $60.6 mil-
lion overseas.
The strong second-week performance for
the Walt Disney release in North America was
enough to narrowly edge 20th Century Foxs
Rio 2 in a springtime battle of sequels. The
animated Amazon jungle tale Rio 2 debuted
with $39 million, according to studio esti-
mates Sunday, almost exactly the opening
weekend total of the 2011 Oscar-nominated
original.
But Captain America has grown consid-
erably in stature since its 2011 original,
The First Avenger. With a global cumula-
tive total of nearly $477 million, The
Winter Soldier has (in two weeks domesti-
cally, three weeks internationally) easily
surpassed the $370 million total of The
First Avenger.
For a superhero whose costume is draped
with the U.S. ag, Captain America (played
by Chris Evans) has proven particularly
popular abroad. The international appeal of
such a traditionally patriot gure was once
doubted.
The traditional rules just dont apply
anymore. Its really about that Marvel
brand, said Paul Dergarabedian, senior
media analyst for box-office tracker
Rentrak. Captain America can play in
Peoria just as well as Hong Kong.
Rio 2, with a voice cast including Anna
Kendrick and Jessie Eisenberg, also played
well internationally. In its second week of
release overseas, it made $62.5 million.
Two other new releases opened in a distant
third and fourth place.
The low-budget supernatural horror lm
Oculus took in $12 million for Relativity
Media.
The football drama Draft Day, starring
Kevin Costner and directed by Ivan Reitman,
debuted weakly with $9.8 million. Made
with the cooperation of the National
Football League, the Lionsgate release is the
second movie this year, along with the
thriller 3 Days to Kill, to attempt to
restore the 59-year-old Costner to leading
man status.
The overall box ofce for the year is up
more than 7 percent over 2013s record box-
ofce haul. The month of April has been pro-
pelled especially by the summer-style
release of The Winter Soldier and a number
of less likely successes.
With $39.5 million domestically, the Wes
Anderson caper The Grand Budapest Hotel
has performed exceptionally in a gradual
release by Fox Searchlight. The independ-
ently released Christian lm Gods Not
Dead, from Freestyle Releasing, has made a
whopping $40.7 million in four weeks.
Just holding in the top five was
Lionsgates teen sci-fi franchise-starter
Divergent, which added $7.5 million in
its fourth week to bring its cumulative total
to $124.9 million.

Two arrested in connection
with burglaries throughout county
MENLO PARK Two Redwood City men
were arrested Friday after allegedly commit-
ting multiple burglaries in the Peninsula,
police said.
Ofcers responded to a report of a burglary
in the 700 block of Nash Avenue at about
1:10 p.m., police said.
When ofcers arrived, a resident told them
that someone entered the home between 8
a.m. and 1:10 p.m. and stole several com-
puters, electronics and jewelry, according to
police.
The officer learned that the stolen items
were in the area of Buckingham Avenue
and El Camino Real in Redwood
City.When officers arrived at the scene,
they located two suspects who were in
possession of a large amount of stolen
property, police said.
Police said the stolen items were from bur-
glaries that occurred in Menlo Park, and
unincorporated Redwood City and Palo Alto.
Ofcers arrested Guadalupe Gallegos, 32,
and Javier Lopez-Wiltron, 33, both of
Redwood City.
Gallegos and Lopez-Wiltron were booked
into jail on suspicion of burglary, posses-
sion of stolen property and conspiracy.
Lopez-Wiltron was also booked on suspi-
cion of possession of narcotic parapherna-
lia and possession of a controlled substance.
Menlo Park police are working with other
agencies to determine the owners of the
stolen property. Anyone with information
about the case is asked to call Menlo Park
police at (650) 330-6300 or anonymously at
(650) 330-6395.
Man, woman shot, one
with life-threatening injuries
DALY CITY A man and a woman shot
and wounded Sunday morning near state
Highway 35 in Daly City were taken to a Bay
Area hospital with one suffering from life-
threatening injuries, a police sergeant said.
At about 5:30 a.m. Sunday, Daly City
police were dispatched to a residence in the
500 block of Skyline Drive a block west of
the highway about a reported shooting,
according to Sgt. Harold Rolfes.
Ofcers found the man and the woman suf-
fering from gunshot wounds, police said.
One of the two was hospitalized with an
injury considered life-threatening but police
did not provide information as to which one.
Police have no suspect in the shootings
and the departments investigations divi-
sion is coordinating the inquiry, Rolfes
said.
Anyone with information about the crime
is urged to call Senior Detective Francis
Mangan at (650) 991-8092.

and goodwill will be irreparably dam-
aged, the suit states.
It goes on to state that the only con-
ditions that FlightCar is arguably not
compliant with are conditions not
within its control. The city refused to
give out the business license based on
alleged non-compliance with the con-
ditional use permit even though
Millbrae has admitted that FlightCar
is in compliance, the suit states.
FlightCar repeatedly has asked
Millbrae what it needed to do to obtain
all permits and was told that, although
it was compliant with requirements,
its conditional use permit was
revoked, according to the suit.
The latest suit goes on to state that
the actions, decisions and findings
and/or customs, practices and poli-
cies of defendants described in this
complaint amount to deliberate indif-
ference to the rights of FlightCar as
hereinabove, as well as amounts to a
denial of due process, equal protection
and valuable, vested property rights.
The companys primary service is
renting out peoples cars through its
website while traveling, giving them
a share of the proceeds, free airport
parking and a car wash in exchange.
Customers are taken by limousine
from a nearby airport parking lot to
their flights at the San Francisco
International Airport, while the busi-
ness says renters get a cheaper price.
The company ran into trouble this
summer with the San Francisco City
Attorney Dennis Herrera, who wanted
to shut it down until it complied with
regulations including conducting
pickups and dropoffs at a special
area, paying 10 percent of gross
profits to the airport and paying a
$20 per rental transaction, according
to a Millbrae staff report.
FlightCar also sued the city in San
Mateo County Superior Court on
Nov. 18, 2013, stating the non-com-
pliance identified at the Millbrae
Planning Commission hearing and in
the commissions report either relate
to matters which FlightCar had previ-
ously corrected, or matters which are
unrelated to the terms of FlightCars
conditional use permit. The city fol-
lowed with a suit in December 2013.
It also states the effect of the citys
actions has been to thoroughly and
capriciously prejudice the rights of
the plaintiff by denying it the ability
to operate its business.
Millbraes city attorney could not
be reached for comment.

who were called by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency to
help scour the site for missing vic-
tims, Atkinson said.
Amiga is a yellow lab and, like
other rescue dogs, started her inten-
sive training when she was a puppy,
Atkinson said.
A search dog takes about two to
two and a half years of multiple days
a week training. Its a hefty under-
taking. You start with a puppy and
you just mold them through positive
training to be rewarded for finding
people, and unfortunately
deceased, Atkinson said.
Amiga is both an area dog that can
detect any human scent and looks
for those who may be lost, such as
hikers or Alzheimer patients, and a
trained humans remains detection
dog, Atkinson said. Being a CARDA
dog takes a lot of drive, energy and
focus. Amiga is consistently trained
and, like most search and rescue
dogs, will retire around 8 or 9 years
old, Atkinson said.
Being a handler is no easy feat
either. Shes sure to stay in shape as
she follows when Amiga is tracking
a scent, Atkinson said. She is also
responsible for reading Amiga,
meaning she pays close attention to
the dogs body language to interpret
any slight gestures or indicators,
Atkinson said.
Shes always had an aff i ni t y
toward animals having worked as a
veterinarian technician and with
horses, Atkinson said. She also
serves as the Marin Search and
Rescue K9 coordinator, a division of
the Marin County Sheriffs Office,
Atkinson said.
Her husband Larry is also a volun-
tary rescue technician and is often at
their side during a deployment.
Its a full-time job, but its one of
those jobs that just grabs you.
Working with the animals and help-
ing when I come on scene and
theres a family, there loved ones
lost, to be able to take my dog and
go out and help them is a very pow-
erful feeling for me, Atkinson said.
CARDA volunteers work as a team
and are available 24/7, 365 days a
year. She and Amiga are called about
once or twice a month, however, i n
the past two weeks they have been
on three deployments.
In the case of Oso, the search was
very canine-oriented and most dogs
can only work for a few days in the
cold, rain and mud, Atkinson said.
So to help relieve the local Oso dog
teams, the CARDA dogs were called
in for a four-day deployment,
Atkinson said.
She arrived early Thursday morn-
ing and Amiga worked for two solid
days before she cut her paw,
Atkinson said. This type of work is
methodical and the canine units
function as a team.
In this case, we were several
dogs placed in an area of high prob-
ability for victims and its very
organized. Im given an area and
we work that area and when my dog
would tell me shed found some-
thing, another dog is called in to
work the area and if they also mark,
si t on t he same spot , t hen t he
FEMA crews would then concentrate
on that area for recovery,
Atkinson said. So for closure for
the family we, FEMA, [were]
at t empt i ng t o bri ng somet hi ng
home for the families.
The devastation was heart wrench-
i ng, Atkinson said. The conditions
were rough, there were hazardous
materials, knee deep mud in some
places, unforgiving rain and all the
while the families would be suffer-
i ng, Atkinson said.
According to national news
sources, the Oso mudslide claimed
the lives of 36 people and eight
remained missing as of Thursday.
Well-trained dogs are an invalu-
able asset for the search community
and as the search continues, those
responding to the deadly disaster
continue to work tirelessly,
Atkinson said.
It was very impressive. Every
remains found was treated with great
respect. A military team was on site
and [when] they removed [the
remains], they would go in and it
would be removed and a chaplain
was there. It was very moving,
Atkinson said. So it was long
hours, but we were very well sup-
ported. FEMA is amazing. FEMA i s
doing an amazing job up there.

going east-west to get over the coast
range and into the city. Many of the cit-
izens of Pacica worked over the hill
on the Peninsula and needed to commute
to their jobs over these two roads. The
U.S. governments solution was to
build an interstate route, over the hills,
east-west from Highway 101 to
Highway 1 on the coast. What was
needed was to build the most expensive
interchange at that time to accomplish
this task. The section from 101 to
Junipero Serra was on at terrain and
through as yet undeveloped Bayhill
property in San Bruno. From Interstate
280 (Junipero Serra Boulevard) the road
would enter Crestmoor Canyon and pro-
ceed west to Skyline Boulevard in the
San Bruno Avenue area then the eight-
to 10-lane highway would proceed west
through the northern part of the San
Francisco Watershed, south of Portola
Highlands housing addition and the San
Francisco County Jail, climb Sweeney
Ridge, then go over the hills into
Pacica.
The public was outraged. The pristine
watershed would be violated with gas-
belching cars and smoke diesel 16-
wheelers. No way would they allow this
to happen.
The rst house on Seventh Avenue in
San Bruno had been razed in 1968 and
77 acres of land was acquired in
Crestmoor Canyon. At the Skyline
Boulevard/San Bruno Avenue intersec-
tion, a 30- to 40-foot exit overhead was
planned. This is where the San Andreas
Fault crosses Skyline Boulevard from
the watershed and parallels Skyline
Boulevard along western Crestmoor and
Rollingwood additions. Opposition to
this project increased in both San
Bruno and Pacifica when this fact
became known and understood.
In May 1970, bids for $4,500,000
were let for the construction of
Interstate 380. In 1970, the north part
of Northbrae School property was
being cleared for the road (To the north
is the Shops at Tanforan).
On April 22, 1971, a disaster
occurred. In the afternoon, the
Interstate 380 railroad overpass was
being readied for cement when it col-
lapsed. More than 720 tons of steel and
reinforced concrete fell onto the S.P.
tracks minutes before the train down the
Peninsula was scheduled to pass by.
Five men were injured. It took many
hours before the trains were able to
travel over this section of the tracks.
In February 1972, widening of the
Sharp Park Road to Pacica was com-
pleted and the opposition to the exten-
sion of the Interstate 380 road wanted
the powers that be to wait until it was
known if this widening of Sharp Park
Road would relieve the trafc woes. The
government began reviewing the dif-
culties of the extension of Interstate
380.
On Aug. 17, 1974, more than 600
people voiced their opposition to the
road at a meeting at Skyline College
and, on Sept. 22, 1974, the issue was
proposed to go to a vote of the people.
On Oct. 4, 1975, Caltrans recommend-
ed that the Interstate 380 extension be
eliminated. By the end of February
1976, the Portola Highway
(Interstate 380) opened from Interstate
280 to Highway 101. Opposition
mounted and by June 1976, proceed-
ings to unadopt Interstate 380 over
the hills occurred, thus ending a bitter
ght with the government and reassert-
ing home rule by the citizens.
HISTORY
out, but we want to be transparent, said board President
Greg Land. Its good to see support for the district over-
all.
Godbe Researchs study was conducted from March 19-26
asking 320 interviews representing 16,366 registered like-
ly November 2014 voters in the district about their
thoughts on a parcel tax renewal measure. Interviews lasted
about 18 minutes. It was designed to identify the duration at
which voters will support the measure; prioritize projects
and programs to be funded with the proceeds; and test the
inuence of supporting and opposing arguments on poten-
tial voter support. The error rate is plus or minus 5.4 per-
cent for the sample.
Voters sampled seemed to be more in favor of a measure
that included the specic amount of the parcel tax versus
language that didnt include the exact amount, with 42.6
percent saying denitely yes under the specic language
and 38.8 percent saying probably yes with the vague lan-
guage.
The board is also exploring whether to go for an eight
year-long parcel tax or a 14 year-long parcel tax.
