Controlling algae growth and high lev-
els of fecal bacteria in San Mateos Marina
Lagoon requires consistent maintenance
and, while the city will continue with its
current vegetation management contrac-
tor, its still looking for solutions to con-
trol the excessive bacteria.
Residents living near the lagoon expressed
concern at a March 17 council meeting when
the city considered switching providers for
the lagoons algae management and prompt-
ed the council Monday night to extend the
contract with its current provider, Aquatic
Environments, Inc. through Oct. 31.
However, some are more concerned with
high levels of fecal bacteria in the lagoon
that can cause illness.
The lagoon, which spans between State
Route 92 and east of Highway 101, serves
two purposes.
For summertime, its for recreational use
and then in the wintertime, its for storm
control events, said Interim Public Works
Director Ray Towne.
There are two aspects in managing the
water quality algae growth and bacteria
levels, Towne said.
Controlling algae is important because it
can give off a foul odor and propellers of
boats can get stuck, Towne said. The growth
is offset by chemically treating it or harvest-

personal check for $36,000 to assist
Baker on Sept. 2, who did not have funds
readily available. The escrow on the San
Carlos home Baker purchased was sched-
uled to close Sept. 13, but went through
on Sept. 11 after Baker realized the cor-
rect closing date was actually Sept. 12.
Two reports were completed by third
parties about the transfer of funds for
Bakers bridge loan occurred one day
prior to the board taking formal action
to approve it with a 5-0 vote. The rst
looked into the nancial aspects of the
transaction and another to review the
process leading up to the funding of the
loan.
We want to reiterate that we as a board
have full faith and condence in our
superintendent and COO, and we look
forward to continuing our focus provid-
ing outstanding education for the chil-
dren and families we serve, board
President Adam Rak wrote in a state-
ment.
The nancial report, completed by
Wilkson Hadley King & Co., stated the
transaction, from an accounting posi-
tion, was properly entered into and
properly recorded in the nancial records
of the district. The $1.3 million loan
was repaid by Nov. 3, 2013, with an
additional $4,087 in interest.
We believe the districts nancial
interests were properly protected and the
investment earnings generated by the
promissory note were above that which
the district would have been able to gen-
erate in any other similar type invest-
ment, the report stated.
As for the process review completed
by attorney Jean Savaree, she writes
that, had the full board been involved
and informed in this process, this early
transfer of funds could have been avoid-
ed. Baker erred in failing to advise the
board regarding the change in dates for
the close of escrow and in requesting
Porter have funds transferred prior to the
boards approval since he failed to com-
prehend the necessity of their approval
in a public meeting before the wire could
go through. Despite having been
advised of the need for board action to
approve the loan, neither Baker nor
Porter fully appreciated this fact,
according to the report.
Despite the fact that by late in the day
on Sept. 5, 2013, both Baker and
Porter knew that escrow was scheduled to
close Sept. 12, 2013, not Sept. 13,
2013, and a request had been made to
wire funds on Sept. 11, 2013, neither
Baker or Porter advised the board of
these facts because they believed it was
the boards intent to approve the loan,
Savarees process report stated. As a
result of this belief, they didnt focus on
the need for the public meeting to
approve the transaction because they
saw the public meeting as a formality.
This mindset is demonstrated by
Porters email of Sept. 3, 2013, to
Denise Portereld where he states The
board approved his [loan] in closed ses-
sion and will be on public agenda for
Sept. 12.
Still, the report stated both Porter and
Baker now understand the mistakes.
During interviews conducted for this
investigation, it was apparent that
Baker and Porter now understand they
made mistakes by failing to communi-
cate with the board and allowing escrow
to close prior to the Sept. 12, 2013,
board meeting at which the board
approved the housing assistance loan,
Savarees report stated.
The board issued a statement in sup-
port of Baker.
The nancial report indicates the dis-
tricts nancial interests were well pro-
tected throughout the course of the trans-
action and that the transaction yielded
the district a positive return and the
interest rate charged to Dr. Baker was at
or above a prevailing fair market rate for
a similar type loan, Rak wrote. The
process report conrms that it was an
error to have funded the loan one day in
advance of the board meeting at which
the loan was approved but that this mis-
take does not manifest any intent to
engage in wrongdoing.
Back in October 2013, former board
president Beth Hunkapiller resigned
over the loan transfer issue.
In my view, the superintendent has
shortchanged opportunities for fuller
public discussion and feedback on sig-
nicant issues for the district and public,
and the board majority has seen too late
the losses after permitting such sup-
posed efciency, she wrote at the
time. In my view, such shortcuts in the
name of efciency dont always save
time. Time savings versus better process
have been subjects of debate in the dis-
trict and on the board. ... I have made an
issue of open process several times prior
to the loan transaction issue. Shortcuts
cost.
Meanwhile, training for staff regard-
ing the districts scal policies and pro-
cedures, best practices for governance,
conicts of interest and ethics were
decided on by the board. Additionally,
the San Mateo County Ofce of
Education has implemented changes to
its procedures regarding wire transfers
for larger loans. Whether it be for some-
thing like a gap loan or for a property
transaction, the county ofce has imple-
mented a 24-hour hold after the time a
school board might take action, before
the wire transfer is initiated. Usually
wire transfers occur rst thing in the
morning of the requested date, while
most school boards meet at night.
The 24-hour hold is to ensure that the
school board has had adequate time to
take action on the item, said Nancy
Magee, administrator for board support
and community relations at the county
Ofce of Education, in an email. In the
case where a board votes down the
action, the wire transfer process can be
interrupted. While [the Ofce of
Education] has implemented this
change, it is important to note that ulti-
mately, each local school district is
responsible for its own scal status and
solvency.

ing it, Towne said.
The city has a clear plan for managing
algae growth, however, it has yet to
identify the source of excessive bacteria
levels and how to control it.
Water samples are taken from the
lagoons Aquatic and Lakeside parks
beaches and between 18 to 50 percent of
the time there is excessive bacteria, said
Jan OHara, a water resource control
engineer with the Regional Water
Quality Control Board.
Its not really uncommon to nd
pathogen exceedances in an urban area.
Theres paving areas because that allows
things to ow really quickly into a water
body and not get trapped into the soil
that would get cleaned up naturally. ...
Where theres a high density of pets you
will nd pathogens in the water,
OHara said.
Yet the Marina Lagoon has higher
levels of fecal bacteria than many other
beaches along the Bay, including Foster
City, OHara said.
Swimming in water with excess fecal
bacteria can cause infections in the
eyes, ears, nose and respiratory system
that could leave one feeling sick for a
few days, OHara said.
Planning Commissioner Rick
Bonilla has become increasingly con-
cerned by the publics willingness to
expose themselves at the Marina
Lagoon. He often sees children swim-
ming in the lagoon and people ignoring
signs warning when there are high lev-
els of bacteria, Bonilla said.
High fecal bacteria levels are typical-
ly found on the ocean side, but its
becoming prevalent in the Bay so the
State Water Resources Control Board is
working on studying the Marina
Lagoon, two beaches in Marin County
and three locations in San Francisco,
OHara said.
Before it can recommend an action
plan, it must identify the contributing
source of the high fecal bacteria levels,
OHara said.
Depending on what it nds, it may
recommend San Mateo evaluate its
sewage infrastructure, educate people
about their effects on the watershed,
reduce the lagoons exposure to trash
and possibly ush the lagoon to deter
stagnant water, OHara said.
Conducting the studies, recommend-
ing plans and resolving the bacteria
problem will likely take at least two
years, but San Mateo is on board and
dedicated to nding a solution, OHara
said.

tenced to 11 years in prison.

Prosecutors had sought a 15-year sentence.
He has credit of 478 days earned while in

A second clerk called police but, before

taquitos before leaving in his car. He was
arrested nearby and, during his booking
into jail, authorities reported nding a bag
of methamphetamine concealed in his rec-
tum.

Kyle Cambron walked off the mound with
a look of disgust and Hillsdale walked off
with a win, as the Knights scored a dramatic
3-2 win over Sequoia Tuesday at home under
the only stretch of blue sky in San Mateo.
With the bases loaded in the bottom of the
seventh, Sequoia (1-2 PAL Ocean, 7-2-1
overall) stuck with its starter Cambron. The
big right-hander opened the at-bat with a
strike before the Cherokees ace threw four
straight balls to Hillsdale junior Riki Urata
to force home junior Anthony Leary with the
game-winning run.
Leary sparked the rally with a leadoff
infield single. On a seemingly routine
groundball to third, the left-handed hitting
Leary got out of the batters box quickly and
simply outhustled the lackadaisical play of
Sequoias ineld for the knock.
I just choked up on the bat and put a solid
one down and ran like hell, Leary said.
Then with two outs, the Sequoia ineld
committed a costly error that allowed Leary
to advance to third. Sequoia manager Corey
Uhalde opted to intentionally walk Ro
Mahanty who entered play hitting .577
to load the bases. But the strategy back-
red when Urata followed with a walk to end
i t .
I thought it was probably their best hit-
ter coming up and Kyle had been throwing
strikes all day and pounding the strike
zone, Uhalde said. I had condence in him
to be able to do that. And I think if it hap-
pened again, he would. (I have) no reser-
vations. Id probably do that 10 times
out of 10.
The loss is Cambrons rst as the senior
falls to 4-1 while still managing to tab his
rst complete game of the year. Mahanty,
the starter for Hillsdale (2-1, 6-3), departed
after six innings of work with a lead but
took a no-decision. Knights junior Adam

Last season, the Notre Dame-Belmont
softball team didnt pick up its fourth West
Catholic Athletic League until game 11 of
the 12-game league schedule.
The Tigers are ahead of the game this sea-
son. Behind a three-hit effort from junior
pitcher Lindsey Mifsud, the Tigers earned
their fourth WCAL win in ve games, down-
ing visiting St. Ignatius 5-2 Tuesday.
Im proud of my girls being 4-1 in the
WCAL, said Notre Dame coach Tara Van
Meter. Its been a long time since weve
had that.
With the win, the Tigers have now won
seven of their last eight games.
With Mifsud doing the job in the pitchers
circle, the Notre Dame offense took care of
the rest. The Tigers scored ve runs while
pounding out 10 hits.
We played well, Van Meter said. Weve
been playing a lot ve games in the last
six days.
All that playing time has the Tigers play-
ing at a high level right now. Notre Dame
(4-1 WCAL, 8-4 overall) put the pressure on
St. Ignatius (0-2, 4-6) from the outset, scor-
ing twice in the bottom of the rst inning.
Freshman Marina Sylvestri led off the game
with an ineld hit and moved to second on a
sacrice bunt from Danica Kazakoff, a soph-
omore. Julia Villanueva, one of only three
seniors on the team, was hit by a pitch to
put runners on rst and second. Soa Reyes,
another sophomore, drove in Sylvestri with
a single to left, with Villanueva thrown out
at the plate trying to score from first.
Mifsud followed with a RBI single to left to
drive in Reyes to give Notre Dame a 2-0
lead.
The Wildcats cut the lead in half in the top
of the second inning. Mia Vierra led off the
inning with a triple to the gap in right-cen-
ter eld and scored on a Jacqueline Boland
groundout.
The score remained 2-1 until the Tigers
tacked on a run in the bottom of the fourth.
Soa Magnani, yet another sophomore, led
off the inning with a single to left, moved
Notre Dame on a roll

in the NLWest and they missed the playoffs.
We dont even have to have the conver-
sation, a lot of the guys know it, right-
hander Matt Cain said. We didnt pitch the
way that we wanted to.
As the Giants begin a new year, they will
try to keep up with the big-spending Los
Angeles Dodgers and
regain the grip they had
on the NL West when the
club won World Series
championships in 2010
and 12 even if every-
body expects the Dodgers
to be the team to beat.
You do try to reflect
back and try to learn from
what happened last year
and how you can get better, manager Bruce
Bochy said. You move forward, thats what
we had to do. There are some things well
talk about in the spring, mistakes that we
made last year. Also, hopefully guys come
in with an attitude, that they werent happy

tough NL West
By Janie McCauley
OAKLAND Before the season has even
begun, the Oakland Athletics are dealing
with a devastating injury that could affect
their chances of chasing a third straight AL
West title.
Right-hander Jarrod Parker, who had been
the projected opening day starter, was lost
to a season-ending elbow injury that
required Tommy John surgery his second
such procedure.
This is a guy who has meant a lot to us,
manager Bob Melvin said. Well have to do
something different.
Like every year with this low-budget club,
somebody always seems to step in and l l
the void. Whether that will be enough for
Melvins bunch in a
much-improved division
is to be determined.
Even before Parker went
down, Oakland considered
its club an underdog
despite winning the last
two AL West crowns.
I dont know if were
the favorite, left elder
Yoenis Cespedes said,
but the As are going to be in the playoffs
again.
These guys seem to thrive in this role, and
now the divisional teams have made high-
prole moves to try to take down the As
with Texas trading for Prince Fielder and
Seattle adding Robinson Cano.

to second on senior Lorin Homs sacrifice
bunt and scored on Jenny Joyners double to
the fence in left field to put the Tigers up 3-1.
St. Ignatius, once again, closed the gap to
one with a run in the top of the fifth. Maddy
Rinn lifted a fly ball to right field that was
dropped, enabling her to reach second. Claire
Gunther followed with an RBI single, driving
in Rinn and taking second on the throw home.
Gunther moved up to third on a wild pitch
before the Tigers defense saved the day.
Maddie Kim hit a fly ball to shallow center
field that appeared destined to drop in for a hit
and tie the game, but Hom came streaking in
and, with a headlong dive, made the catch to
end the inning.
Lorin Hom made a great catch to stop their
momentum, Van Meter said.
The Tigers used that shot of adrenaline to
increase their lead to 4-2 in the bottom of the
frame. With two outs, Reyes singled and
scored when Mifsud drove a 3-2 pitch to the
fence in left-center field. The Tigers then
added an insurance run in the bottom of the
sixth, with Sylvestri driving home Joyner, who
had walked to start the inning.
Sylvestri, Reyes and Mifsud each had a pair
of hits to pace the Tigers attack.
Van Meter attributes the success of her team
this season to a young squad that already has
a year of varsity experience under their belts.
Three of the four sophomores who started
Tuesday played varsity as freshmen last sea-
son. Add three juniors with at least two years
of varsity experience, a pair of seniors and
another stellar freshman, the Tigers have one
of the youngest, most experienced teams in
the WCAL.
A lot of the girls were freshmen (last sea-
son) and having a year under their belts helps
a lot (this season), Van Meter said. Now, its
about convincing the girls they can compete in
this league and this year they believe it now.
TIGERS
City beats plummeting United
MANCHESTER, England Manchester
Citys title run gained momentum with a 3-0 win
at rival Manchester United on Tuesday night, and
Arsenals hopes of winning the Premier League
dimmed with a 2-2 tie against Swansea.
Edin Dzeko scored inside 43 seconds, added a
goal in the 56th minute and Yayo Toure scored in
the 90th at Old Trafford as City (21-5-3) closed
within three points of first-place Chelsea (21-4-
6), which has played two more games.
Defending champion United (15-10-6) is sev-
enth, 12 points back of fourth-place Arsenal (19-
6-6) for Englands final Champions League
berth. With eight games left, United is assured of
its fewest points since the Premier League era
began in 1992-93.
Sports brief
Schembri ended up with the win to improve to
3-0.
The pitching was dynamite, Hillsdale
manager James Madison said. We knew
coming in [Cambron] was going to come in
and deal. We knew what his motives were and
what he wanted to do. And even knowing that,
he still kept us off balance and he still pitched
well.
Heading into the bottom of the sixth, the
game was deadlocked at 1-1. But shoddy
defense by both teams made for a late roller-
coaster ride. Hillsdale took a 2-1 lead in the
sixth after Urata reached on a one-out single
then advanced to second on the play by virtue
of an outfield error. Sophomore Andrew Yarak
followed with a long fly to left-center which
Sequoia senior Liam Clifford nearly ran
down, but the ball winged off his glove to go
for an RBI double with Urata scoring the go-
ahead run.
In the top of the seventh, with Schembri on
to try to close it out for Hillsdale, Matt Lopez
led off by hitting a medium deep fly to center
which the Hillsdale outfielder had to drift
back on, but the ball was dropped with Lopez
ending up at second base. After a sacrifice
bunt by Carson Parodi to move Lopez to third,
senior Jarrett Crowell laced an RBI single
through the middle to tie it 2-2.
But Hilldale was able to capitalize on
Sequoias mistakes in the bottom of the inning
to walk off with the win.
Usually when you make as many mistakes
as we did, you usually come out on the bottom
end, Madison said. But we stayed tough and
Im really proud of my guys.
Hillsdale actually set up the game-winning
walk in the seventh on a base-running miscue
by Leary. On the error that allowed him to
advance from first to third, Madison the
third-base coach gave him the stop sign at
second base. Leary said he was watching the
ball, not the coach. As a result, Leary ran right
through the stop sign and ultimately found
himself at third base. Without having
advanced from second to third, Sequoia would
not have intentionally walked Mahanty to load
the bases.
The win is the second emotionally charged
victory in a row for Hillsdale. The Knights
came back from a 6-2 deficit to down El
Camino March 20 on a late-inning home run
by Conner Wallace.
Two emotional wins, close wins in a row
have taken us to dig deep and put emotion into
our game and at all costs win, Madison said.
And the pitching duel between starters
Cambron and Mahanty was key in fueling the
emotion of the game.
Uhalde praised Cambrons complete-game
effort after the loss.
Hes been great, Uhalde said. We could-
nt ask for anything more of him. Every single
game hes thrown this year, and last year, hes
given us a chance to win. Thats all we could
ever ask of him. And he absolutely did that
today.
For Mahanty, who has been stellar on both
sides of the ball all season with the exception
of his March 18 loss last week to El Camino,
he continues to demonstrate the heart of a lion
who has shown a propensity to compete to the
level of the opposition even when the
opposition is one of this years elite arms in
the Peninsula Athletic League.
This team is the same way, Madison said.
When theyre facing a big name who they
know is primetime, they really step up. And
thats what happened today.

Two more bodies
recovered from Washington mudslide
ARLINGTON, Wash. Rescuers slogging through muck
and rain Tuesday in an increasingly desperate search for sur-
vivors of a massive mudslide instead recovered two bodies
and believe they have located another eight, Snohomish
County District 21 Fire Chief Travis Hots said.
The announcement put the ofcial death toll at 16, with the
possibility of 24 dead once the other bodies are conrmed.
The grim discoveries further demoralized the four-day
search, as the threat of ash oods or another landslide
loomed over the rescuers. With scores still missing, author-
ities are working off a list of 176 people unaccounted for,
though some names were believed to be duplicates.
Authorities said that number will change because the near-
by logging town of Darringtons power was restored and
more people have called in.

By Eileen Sullivan
WASHINGTON To assuage priva-
cy concerns, the White House and
some lawmakers are pushing forward
with changes to a surveillance pro-
gram that would leave the bulk stor-
age of millions of Americans tele-
phone records in the hands of phone
companies, even though they are con-
vinced the information now held by
the government is protected and ques-
tion whether the changes would actu-
ally do more to protect privacy.
President Barack Obama intends to
ask Congress to end the bulk collec-
tion of Americans phone records.
Instead, the government would ask
phone companies to search their
records for possible links to terror-
ism.
Obama said that any alternatives to
the government holding onto the
phone records posed difficult prob-
lems and raised privacy issues. And
Republican Rep. Mike Rogers, R-
Mich., chairman of the House
Intelligence Committee, said he
believes the data is safer with the
National Security Agency, even
though he recommended it be moved
from the agencys custody.
Were changing the program based
on a perception, not a reality,
Rogers said shortly before he intro-
duced legislation that would end the
program in its current form.
Americans, Rogers said, dont want
the government holding onto their
data.
They just didnt have a comfort
level with the NSA holding, in bulk,
metadata, even though we had huge
levels of protection, Rogers said. I
do believe that privacy was better
protected than youre going to see in
the phone companies.
The metadata is the number called,
the number from which the call is
made, and the duration and time of the
call, but not the content of the call or
the callers names.

Aformer correctional ofcer left as many
as 1,225 San Carlos residents without
power early Tuesday morning after drunken-
ly crashing his truck into a power pole,
according to the Sheriffs Ofce.
Christopher Pettit, 23, of San Carlos,
both began and ended his employment with
the San Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce this
month, said spokesman Rebecca
Rosenblatt.
At approximately 2:14 a.m. March 25,
Pettits white Chevrolet hit a Pacic Gas and
Electric power pole on the 2400 block of
Melendy Drive. The collision sheared the
pole off at the base, knocking down several
high-voltage power lines and causing the
outage in the northwest portion of the city,
according the Sheriffs Ofce.
After performing field sobriety tests,
Pettit was arrested on suspicion of driving
while under the inuence of alcohol, accord-

Chinese Cuisine
By Sara Moulton
Though carrots often make it into the
Easter feast lineup, Ive never understood
why. Maybe its a nod to the Easter bunny.
Typically, we prepare them much as we pre-
pare sweet potatoes (their distant orange
cousins) at Thanksgiving by glazing
them and otherwise shoveling on extra
sugar. Im guessing that this is a reaction to
the carrots bright color, which reminds us of
a kids toy. Its orange. Its fun. On the plate,
carrots are more like a candy than a veg-
etable.
Still, I like carrots and I think Ive gured
out a way here to redeem them. The trick is
not to be waylaid by their color, but to take
advantage of their length and texture. Long,
sturdy carrot peels are reminiscent of indi-
vidual strands of fettuccine. Fine. Lets pre-
pare them as we would, say, a dish of fettuc-
cine Alfredo by dressing them with a
creamy sauce.
Not coincidentally, its a strategy that also
allows the carrots natural sugars which
are plenty sweet all by themselves to
shine.
Youll want to start with big, long, fat car-
rots (affectionately referred to by some gro-
cers as horse carrots). Just peel off and dis-
card the outermost layer, then continue peel-
ing on all sides until youve reached the
woody core. I nd it easiest to start at the
middle of the carrot and peel down the bot-
tom half, then ip it over and peel the top
half. This technique allows you to do the job
faster than if you peeled the entire length of
the carrot from top to bottom. The cores are
too thin and hard to peel. You can munch on
them yourself or reserve them for a future
stock.
The sauce for this fettuccine is quite sim-
ple. Its based on Neufchatel, the French
cream cheese, which miraculously provides
us with the creaminess we crave even though
it possesses one-third less fat than most
other types of cream cheese and much less
fat than heavy cream, the ingredient that usu-
ally puts the cream in creamy pasta.
We counter-balance the carrots natural
sweetness with lemon, both the zest and
juice, though lime would work just as well.
The walnuts add crunch, nutty taste and some
nutrition, but any nut will do: pistachios,
almonds, cashews. Just pick your fave.
The carrot fettuccine strands cook up very
quickly inside of 5 minutes so youll
want to prep them ahead of time, and measure
out all the rest of the ingredients as well.
Once the fettuccine is cooked, you need to
move it out of the pan and onto everyones
plate before the strands go soft. Happily,
cooking this dish is simple enough to do at
the last minute. And who knows, you may
even be able to get your kids to dig into these
carrots. Theyre veggies but theyre wearing
a fettuccine suit.
LEMONY CARROT FETTUCCINE
WITH TOASTED WALNUTS
Start to nish: 25 minutes
Servings: 4
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
2 pounds large carrots, peeled, stem ends
discarded
1 1/4 cups low-sodium chicken or veg-
etable broth, divided
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
Salt and ground black pepper
2 ounces Neufchatel (low-fat cream cheese)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Heat the oven to 350 F.
In a shallow baking dish, spread the wal-
nuts in an even layer and bake on the ovens
middle shelf for 8 to 10 minutes, or until
they smell fragrant. Remove and set aside.
Meanwhile, using a swivel blade or a Y-
shaped vegetable peeler, peel the carrots into
long fettuccine-like strands, discarding the
core (or saving it for a snack or a stock).
In a large skillet, combine 1 cup of the
chicken broth with the lemon zest, a hefty
pinch of salt and several grinds of pepper.
Whisk the mixture until the lemon is well
distributed.
Cut up the cheese into small pieces and add
it to the skillet along with the carrots. Cover
the skillet tightly and bring the broth to a
boil. Reduce the heat and simmer the carrots,
covered, for 3 minutes. Remove the lid, and
stir the carrots gently with tongs to make
sure the cheese is well distributed. Cover and
simmer, adding the additional broth if the
mixture seems dry, for another 1 to 2 min-
utes, or just until the carrots are tender.
Stir in the lemon juice, then season with
salt and pepper. Divide the carrot fettuc-
cine between 4 serving plates, then top
each portion with a quarter of the toasted wal-
nuts and the chives.

The carrot fettuccine strands cook up very quickly inside of 5 minutes so youll want to

OPINION 9
Bridgepointe ice rink
Editor,
The San Mateo City Council should
reject the deal to demolish our ice
rink and replace it with more big box
stores (Ice rink issue resurfaces in
the March 25 edition of the Daily
Journal).
This would result in fewer, not
more, recreational opportunities for
our kids. We have already lost too
many other recreational facilities
roller rinks, bowling alleys, amuse-
ment parks. Accepting a one-time
payment to improve existing parks
would be incredibly short-sighted and
a disservice to future generations.
Mike Swire

Keep the rink at Bridgepointe
Editor,
We are a local family that misses
what was our home rink at one time.
Our son is an avid hockey player and
now we must travel far and wide to
skate. The community has so few ice
rinks and now SPI Holdings wants to
turn our rink into a retail store (Ice
rink issue resurfaces in the March 25
edition of the Daily Journal).
We do not need any more retail as
we have plenty. We have also lost our
miniature golf, go-carts and batting
cages also probably to high-density
housing.
We work really hard in our homes
and schools to get out and be active.
The rst lady also reiterates that
point. Shopping is not the activity
that is needed. The message in the
Bay Area is that it is OK to be inside
playing games and sitting at a desk
working many hours a day and not
outside or inside doing some extreme-
ly active sport.
Bridgepointe Ice offered skating to
gure skaters, hockey players, dis-
abled, school fundraisers, free skates
with friends and family and many
other options. Bridgepointe also has
the ability to get wheelchairs and
strollers on the ice. Did anyone watch
the paralypics and watch the USASled
hockey team bring home the gold?
We most denitely brought home the
gold in Sled Hockey in Sochi.
Lets get our rink back open and
fully operational again. We need it.
We do not need any more shopping.

The importance
of colon screening
Editor,
I applaud your excellent article
FDAReviews DNA-based Colon
Cancer Screening Kits by Matthew
Perrone of the Associated Press in the
March 25 edition of the Daily
Journal.
I cant stress enough how important
screening is. I am 59 years old and
had avoided having a colonoscopy all
through my 50s. I also ignored a pos-
itive fecal occult blood test result as
well. Ayear ago, I was diagnosed with
stage three colon cancer and endured
two surgeries, a temporary colostomy
and six months of chemotherapy.
Im glad to be doing well now, but a
colonoscopy at 50, even with the
annoying prep, would have been a
whole lot easier. One minor correc-
tion: The article states a colonoscopy
requires several hours of sedation,
but in truth it is only 20 to 30 min-
utes a half hour that can save your
life.

A taboo subject
Editor,
Factory farming, breeding raising
and slaughtering animals for our
food. I wonder why this subject seems
so taboo in our society to talk about.
Its a horrendous industry for the ani-
mals, and it also has devastating
effects on our environment. It uses
vast amounts of natural resources
including water. It seems we are not
allowed to bring it up; the media hard-
ly covers it.

T
he long-embattled 7-Eleven
on San Mateo Drive is now
closed and, while neighbors
who fought the stores opening at the
location are cheering, the entire situa-
tion is not necessarily a cause for
overt celebration.
First of all, the obvious. The store
was allowed to open because of a city
staff members interpretation of code
that allowed for its use since its previ-
ous non-compliant use was that of a
market. How that interpretation hap-
pened we will never know, but it was
the root cause of a very public probe
into possible meddling at the council
level and the fact that staff was over-
worked. That brought forth a series of
public meetings about the legality of
the store and court action that dragged
the citys legal team into a situation
it never should have been in the rst
place.
Second, it was costly. While the
settlement means it wont cost the
city millions like it could have, it
still cost $150,000, which is nothing
to sneeze at. That amount would pay
for the salary and benets of a re-
ghter or police ofcer for the year.
Third, it brought forward a some-
times uncomfortable sense of elitism.
Dont get us wrong, the neighbors of
the site didnt sign up for a 24-hour
chain store that is known for its
Slurpees when they moved into the
area. Previously, there was a neigh-
borhood market known for its selec-
tion of pasta and freshly-made sand-
wiches. Its hours were reasonable,
deliveries sparse and had been there
so long no one would dream of com-
plaining about it. The 7-Eleven was
new, different and not in tting with
the communitys customs.
But a market is a market, and its
difcult to say which one is better and
more suitable for an area particularly
since the citys code allows any mar-
ket to be open 24 hours if the owners
so choose. Some people liked the 7-
Eleven, as much as one can like a 7-
Eleven, but they were not nearly as
vocal as the ones who did not want it
there.
Now that the market is closed, who
knows what will take its place? It is
ofcially zoned residential, but it is
an extremely small lot and may
remain empty for some time.
For neighbors who fought the
store, that is better than what was
there. The neighbors fought it hard
and organized themselves quickly and
aptly. For that, they should be proud.
But the vacant store will also serve as
a reminder of an extremely challeng-
ing time for the city of San Mateo on
many different levels.
The end of 7-Eleven
Spring break?
T
he sun was
warm but the
wind was
chill.
You know how it is with
an April day. Robert
Frost.
Though it seemed like
spring all winter, and it
hardly rained in March,
now that spring has been
officially sanctioned for
2014, I want to celebrate
and hope for an April of
renewal and optimism. So
I looked up some informa-
tion about next month and discovered that it is Keep
America Beautiful Month, National Poetry Month
and Stress Awareness Month.
As far as keeping America beautiful, were trying to do
our best in spite of the drought. We at least had enough
rain through February to bring out the spring blooms of
March, which have been especially appreciated this
year.
In honor of National Poetry Month, I offer an ode to
spring, by L.H. Bailey:
Yesterday the twig was brown and bare;
Today the glint of green is there;
Tomorrow will be leaflets spare;
I know no thing as wondrous fair,
No miracle so strangely rare.
I wonder what will next be there!
As for Stress Awareness Month, a column on the
subject will be coming before long.
We are all familiar with the usual special days of this
month like April Fools Day on the first, Tax Day on
April 15, Easter on the 20th (this year), Earth Day on
the 22nd and Arbor Day on the 25th. Some famous peo-
ple with birthdays in April who we may remember are
William Shakespeare, Leonardo da Vinci, Barbra
Streisand, Shirley Temple, Queen Elizabeth II, Jerry
Seinfield and Jay Leno.
We dont have any April birthdays to celebrate among
our immediate family (several in March and May), but
Ted and I do have a very special day to commemorate on
April 6 62 years of wedded bliss! (Ha!!) Never
thought wed make it this far!
Most interesting when I Googled Special Days in
April, up came many Bizarre and Unique Holidays.
One I found very appealing is No Housework Day on
April 7. One that Ive never heard of, even though Im
an avid player of the game, is Scrabble Day on the
13th. None of my opponents has heard of it either, but
now we feel recognized. In case you didnt know, among
the many special days, we find Peanut Butter and Jelly
Day on April 2, National Garlic Day on the 19th,
National Jelly Bean Day on the 22nd (bon appetite!)
and Kiss Your Mate Day is on the 28th (only once a
year?).
But the day that I think deserves very special com-
memoration is April 18. No, not because of the 1906
San Francisco earthquake, though we certainly havent
forgotten that. But its also Newspaper Columnists
Day dedicated to increasing awareness of the
importance of columnists and journalists. This really
ought to be a national holiday! How else are readers
going to learn about, for instance, Debra Saunders
often unique perspective, the common sense of Leonard
Pitts Jr., Jon Mays wrestling with Frisco, John
McDowells conservative slant and Sue Lemperts local
updates. And how about Jon Carrolls cats, Michelle
Durands refrigerator and my great-granddaughter? After
all, isnt it columnists who often offer a unique way of
looking at things, bringing a bit of life to the newspa-
per that it wouldnt have otherwise?
Great Poetry Reading Day is on the same day that we
are told to kiss our mate. So go ahead, read some great
poetry after you enjoy a good smooch. And we are told
that if we arent into poets such as Shakespeare or
Robert Frost, we should write our own poetry It may
be looked upon some day as great! So here goes:
April comes but once a year Amonth of sun and
spring.
Just choose a day to celebrate Whatever is your
t hi ng.
Last, but not least, April 30 is National Honesty
Day but if you want to tell me that my poetry leaves
much to be desired, give me a break a Spring Break,
that is.
After all that, lets hope that the old saying comes
true April showers bring May flowers.

The beauty of a roasted chicken is that aside from about 15 minutes prep,nearly all of the time
is hands off.
W
hy is it that we only stuff poul-
try one day a year? Lets face it,
stufng takes an already deli-
cious dish roasted poultry and makes
it even more so by adding avorful, fat-
soaked carbs to the mix. Yet outside of
Thanksgiving, few of us ever think to stuff
and roast a bird. Admittedly, most of us
dont have the time to prepare a stuffed
turkey on a weeknight. But why not try a
chicken?
The beauty of a roasted chicken is that
aside from about 15 minutes prep, nearly
all of the time is hands off. And we can
keep the roasting time itself pretty mini-
mal by spatchcocking the chicken (cutting
out the backbone and roasting the bird at)
before stufng and roasting it.
Since Passover is coming up, I decided to
play around with a matzo-based herb stuff-
ing. But if youd rather stick with a more
traditional stufng base, the same tech-
nique works just as well.
HERBED MATZO-STUFFED
ROASTED CHICKEN
Start to nish: 1 hour 20 minutes (15
minutes active)
Servings: 6
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra
1 medium yellow onion, diced
4 stalks celery, nely chopped
4 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon dried basil
5 sheets (5 ounces) salted matzo, crum-
bled
Chicken broth
Kosher salt and
ground black pepper
5-pound whole chick-
en
Heat the oven to 400
F. Coat a 13-by-18-inch
baking pan with cook-
ing oil.
In a large skillet over
medium-high, heat the
oil. Add the onion, cel-
ery and mushrooms and
cook until lightly
browned, 5 to 7 min-
utes. Add the oregano, parsley, thyme and
basil and cook for another minute. Add the
crumbled matzo. Stir well, sprinkling in
just enough broth to make a moist stufng,
about 1/2 cup. Season with salt and pepper,
then spread the stufng evenly in the pre-
pared baking pan.
Place the chicken on the cutting board
with the breast down. One on side of the
backbone, use kitchen shears to carefully
cut from the neck hole down the length of
the backbone and out the rump. This will
require a little effort, but the shears should
cut through the bones without too much
difculty. Repeat the cut along the other
side of the backbone, removing and dis-
carding it.
Spread open the chicken, exposing the
cavity, then overturn the bird and set it
over the stufng in the pan. Season under
the skin with salt and pepper. Rub the out-
side of the skin with olive oil, then season
with salt and pepper. Roast for 1 hour to 1
hour and 10 minutes, or until a thermome-
ter inserted in the thigh reads 165 F. If the
chicken browns too quickly, cover it with
foil.

FOOD
Expires March 30th, 2014
By Alison Ladman
A classic matzo ball soup often has few
ingredients beyond a delicious broth and a
deliciously large and tender matzo ball. But
we wanted to turn this staple of Passover
into a full and satisfying meal.
To do this, we added a careful selection of
vegetables enough to avor the broth and
provide substance, yet not compete with the
matzo balls and a small amount of chick-
en. The result was a rich soup that keeps its
identity, but also lls you up.
SPRING MATZO BALL SOUP
Start to nish: 1 hour (15 minutes active)
Servings: 6
For the matzo balls:
2 eggs
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons club soda or seltzer water
1/2 cup matzo meal
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 scallion, thinly sliced
For the soup:
1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 leek, white part only, thinly sliced
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh
oregano
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 medium carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 cup thinly sliced snow peas
1 cup shredded cooked chicken
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
To make the matzo balls, in a medium
bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the oil,
club soda, matzo meal, salt, pepper, smoked
paprika, parsley and scallion. Mix well,
then cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
When the matzo is chilled, in a large pot
over medium-high, heat the oil for the soup.
Add the onion, leek and garlic. Cook for 6
to 8 minutes, or until tender. Add the
oregano and chicken broth and bring to a
boil.
Using wet hands, or a cookie scoop, drop
quarter-sized balls of the chilled matzo mix-
ture into the soup. Cover and simmer for 25
minutes. Add the carrots, snow peas and
chicken and simmer for another 5 minutes.
Stir in the dill and lemon juice, then season
with salt and pepper.
Starbucks to roll out
beer, wine to more cafes
NEW YORK Starbucks plans to turn
more of its cafes into a destination for beer
and wine in the evenings.
The coffee company says it is looking to
expand alcohol sales to thousands of select
stores over the next several years,
although it didnt provide details on an
exact timeline.
The chain first offered beer and wine
after 4 p.m. at one of its Seattle cafes in
2010. Starbucks Evenings is now
available in 26 cafes, with plans to reach
40 by the end of the year.
California lawmakers
reconsider bare-hand food ban
SACRAMENTO California lawmakers
are beginning to back away from a new law
that bans bare-hand contact with food in
restaurants.
The Assembly Health Committee voted
15-0 Tuesday to repeal and revisit the regu-
lation before enforcement begins this sum-
mer, following opposition from chefs and
bartenders.

T
he coach of a team many people have
winning the Final Four has a new
contract extension that raises his
average salary to $3.7 million a year.
Billy Donovan also got a $250,000 bonus
just for staying at Florida, but his is not the
sweetest deal in college athletics. That
belongs to Ohio State athletic director Gene
Smith, who will get more than $18,000 simply
because one of the schools wrestlers is really
good.
Little did grappler Logan Stieber know
when he signed on for room and board at the
university that winning the 141-pound weight
class at the NCAA wrestling championship
paid actual cash. Not to him, of course,
because that would violate NCAA rules that
seem designed to make everyone money but
the athletes themselves.
Instead, Smith gets the bonus money, part of
a deal where he gets paid every time there are
exceptional athletic achievements under his
watch. Smith already makes $940,484 a year,
but if the athletes at Ohio State perform well
he could earn more than $1.5 million a year
under a sweetheart contract that runs through
2020.
Thats the way things operate in big-time
college athletics, where the rich are getting
richer. Hard not to profit when the labor is
free, and the new television contracts seem to
carry an extra zero every time they are rene-
gotiated.
Unfortunately, the gravy train might be
coming to an end. Current and former athletes
are showing they learned something in col-
lege.
Ed OBannons lawsuit against the NCAA
could go to trial this summer and change
everything. Several Northwestern athletes are
trying to start a union. And a lawyer jumped in
the fray last week with a federal lawsuit on
behalf of four players that calls the NCAA
and five major conferences an unlawful car-
tel that illegally restricts
players from making
money while taking in
billions.
In the meantime, the
NCAA continues to
pocket an average of
$771 million a year in
television rights to the
basketball tournament
and millions more in
ticket sales. Theres an
official drink for the
tournament, as well as an
official wireless partner.
And the players? They get three squares a
day and, in the case of New Mexico State last
week, a long ride home in the middle of the
night after an emotional overtime loss. And
when the NCAA charger dropped them off
around 5:48 a.m., they didnt have enough
buses to take everyone back to campus.
The older I get the harder it is to under-
stand how this has gone on as long as it has,
said OBannon, who led his UCLA team to
the national championship in 1995. Its just
unbelievable to me.
OBannon isnt the only former UCLA
player pushing for player rights. Ramogi
Huma formed the National College Players
Association as a sophomore in the mid-1990s
after seeing teammate Donnie Edwards sus-
pended for accepting free food when his
scholarship money ran out before the end of
the month.
Now Huma is involved with the
Northwestern players and actively cam-
paigns for raises in scholarship amounts
along with the dropping of the ban on
athletes making money for themselves.
Public opinion has changed a lot on
this issue since I first got involved with
it, Huma said. Less and less people are
buying into the NCAAs hypocritical def-
inition of amateurism.
OBannon, who began his lawsuit after
seeing a likeness of himself in a video
game licensed by the NCAA without his
knowledge, still carries fond memories
of winning the national title for UCLA.
But he also remembers not being able
to afford a meal at KFC after a late study
hall. He remembers teammates who
played for nothing but a scholarship who
werent as fortunate as he was to eventu-
ally play in the NBA.
And he remembers a lot of wealthy
people paying big money to sit courtside
at Pauley Pavilion to watch them per-
form.
The revenue thats generated is
through the roof and they play in
domes with tall roofs, OBannon said.
Yet the players get nothing.
There are settlement talks ordered by
the judge, but OBannon says he will not
sell out his basic principles for a long
overdue paycheck. Come June 9 he
expects to be in a California courtroom
challenging a system he believes is
unjust.
Im prepared to go to trial, he said.
Its never been about monetary gain. Its
all about changing the rules and making
sure the players, both present and former,
are represented as well.
Lofty goals, sure, but OBannon is on a
crusade. He believes deeply in his cause
and says he wont back down.
And that should make the people who run
college sports more than just a little nervous.

BUFFALO, N.Y. During his 95 years,
Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson went from
fan to Foolish Club member to the Pro
Football Hall of Fame, enjoying every step
along the way.
The NFL lost the person regarded as the
leagues conscience on
Tuesday, when Wilson
died at his home around
1:40 p.m. Bills president
Russ Brandon announced
Wilsons death at the NFL
owners meetings in
Orlando, Fla.
His death resonated
among the owners from
old to new. Wilson played
an integral role in establishing the modern
game, and was inducted into the Hall of Fame
in 2009.
In 1959, Wilson founded the Bills in helping
establish the upstart American Football
League, whose owners were dubbed The
Foolish Club for having the chutzpah to chal-
lenge the NFL. Some ve years later, Wilson
played an inuential role in the framework for
the merger of the leagues.
Ralph Wilson was a driving force in devel-
oping pro football into Americas most popu-
lar sport, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell
said. Ralph always brought a principled and
common-sense approach to issues.
Patriots owner Robert Kraft released a state-
ment saying how grateful he was for how
Wilson welcomed him to the NFL, adding: I
will miss him.
So will Bills Hall of Fame coach Marv
Levy, whom Wilson lured out of retirement to
serve as the teams general manager from
2005-06.
He wasnt my boss, he was my friend,
Bills owner Ralph
Wilson dies at 95

with what happened the year before and want
to get back on track.
Buster Posey certainly doesnt want to
spend too much time thinking about last sea-
son.
Thats probably how everybody feels.
Theres a bad taste in a lot of guys mouths,
Posey said. We want to come out and focus
on winning ballgames.
Here are five things to watch as the Giants
prepare to open the season:
Tim Squared
Tim Hudson and Tim Lincecum are eager to
start fresh from tough seasons, Hudson after a
devastating ankle injury and Lincecum trying
to prove he can rediscover his old dominant
form.
Both hard-throwing right-handers will need
to bounce back with big years if the Giants are
to contend. Both signed for two years the
38-year-old Hudson for $23 million and
Lincecum for $35 million.
Mammoth Morse
If Michael Morse can show the same kind
of power he did during his career-best 2011
season in Washington, the Giants know they
have a talented run producer in the middle of
the order to complement Buster Posey, Hunter
Pence and Pablo Sandoval.
Its going to be a pretty good lineup having
him in there because somebodys going to be
hitting seventh whos not accustomed to it,
Bochy said.
Morse missed time in 2013 with a broken
right pinkie and strained right quadriceps
before returning from the disabled list in late
July. The nine-year veteran batted .215 with
13 home runs and 27 RBIs in 88 games
between the Mariners and Orioles.
Its been tough. Injuries are something you
cant predict, Morse said. You just try to
keep playing hard and stay on the field. Thats
my main goal.
Pagans health
Bochy has repeatedly said how much San
Francisco missed the speed and aggressive-
ness of center fielder Angel Pagan in the lead-
off spot not to mention on defense.
He has dealt with a stiff back this spring,
while second baseman Marco Scutaro also has
been ailing with his own back trouble.
Bumgarner leads the way
As the only San Francisco starter with a
winning record last year, lefty Madison
Bumgarner must try to duplicate his impres-
sive 2013 season and then some. Bochy
named him opening day starter
Bumgarners first such nod early on at
spring training. Bumgarner earned his first
All-Star selection last year, going 13-9 with a
2.77 ERA in 31 starts and 201 1-3 innings.
Despite the big names Hudson,
Lincecum, Cain Bumgarner will help lead
this group.
From what I have seen, everybody seems
to be getting locked in and ready to go,
Bumgarner said. Everybody is getting to
where they want to be. Team chemistry is
good it has always been good since Ive
been here.
Sandovals year
Slugging third baseman Pablo Sandoval lost
significant weight yet again, and he hopes to
keep it off for good as he enters a contract
year prepared to prove he can be the steady
hitter he was two years ago. The 27-year-old
Sandoval won the World Series MVP in 2012,
highlighted by a three-homer Game 1 against
the Tigers.
Its a big year for him, Bochy said. We
think its a big year for us with the players we
have on this club. You need everybody doing
their job, doing their thing. Hes a big part of
this club. To have him in this kind of shape its
going to be nice.
GIANTS
After losing in the AL division series in five
games to Detroit in back-to-back years, these
As are eager to get over that hump at last.
I think were still trying to prove people
wrong, center fielder Coco Crisp said.
Five things to know about the As as they
enter the 2014 season.
The pitching
Pitching depth has long been a plus for the
franchise, which builds from the bottom up in
general manager Billy Beanes system.
That will be tested now with Parker side-
lined.
We can only play the hand that were dealt,
and we obviously put together pitching depth
coming into the year, and some guys are going
to have to step up, assistant general manager
David Forst said.
Jesse Chavez and Tommy Milone each will
move into bigger roles in the rotation early on
in the season, when the As also will be with-
out A.J. Griffin because of his own ailing
elbow.
Consistent Cespedes
Cespedes begins his third major league sea-
son determined to be more consistent, short-
ening his swing during the winter in an
attempt to make better contact.
While he won the Home Run Derby last
summer during All-Star festivities, Cespedes
batted .240 with 26 homers and 80 RBIs. He
hit .292 with 23 homers and drove in 82 runs
as a rookie.
Youre always going to have highs and
lows, the Cuban star said. Last year I got
into this low and just couldnt recover the
whole season.
Cespedes knows how much he needs to
complement Josh Donaldson, who batted .301
with 24 homers and 93 RBIs while playing
158 games in his first full big league season.
Cocos power
Sure, Coco Crisp enjoyed hitting all those
home runs from the leadoff spot last year a
career-best 22 to be exact. But the speedy cen-
ter fielder and leadoff man hopes to get back
to his base-stealing ways of previous years.
Especially as he begins with a fresh new
two-year contract through the 2016 season
that adds $22.75 million in guaranteed money.
Hopefully, Father Time doesnt kick me in
the butt til Im in my 50s, Crisp said. I was
a little beat up last year with my legs.
Closing time
The As found quite the replacement for All-
Star closer Grant Balfour: AL saves leader Jim
Johnson.
Oakland acquired Johnson in a December
trade with Baltimore.
He converted 50 of 59 save opportunities in
2013, going 3-8 with a 2.94 ERA. He was tied
with Atlantas Craig Kimbrel for the major
leagues saves lead.
Youve got to come with it every single
day, Johnson said.
Its sunny with Sonny
As a playoff first-timer and rookie, Sonny
Gray dueled with Justin Verlander on the big
October stage.
The 24-year-old right-hander went 5-3 with
a 2.67 ERA in 12 outings with 10 starts last
season and now the As cant wait to see
just how good he can be pitching a full year.
Gray is also quite entertaining on Twitter:

Dodgers end Yankees 15-year
run as top spender in baseball
NEW YORK Zack Greinke and the Los
Angeles Dodgers have knocked Alex
Rodriguez and the New York Yankees off
baseballs payroll perch, part of a spending
spree that has the average salary approaching
$4 million.
The Dodgers are ending the Yankees 15-
year streak as baseballs biggest spenders and
as of Tuesday had a projected payroll of $235
million, according to study of all major league
contracts by The Associated Press.
New York, which last failed to top the pay-
roll rankings in 1998, was second at $204 mil-
lion.
Houston is last at $45 million. The average
salary projected to be between $3.95 million
and $4 million, up from 8 to 10 percent. The
average U.S. wage in 2012 was $42,498,
according to the Social Security
Administration, an increase of 3.12 percent.
Some large-market teams are among the
smaller spenders, with the New York Mets and
Chicago Cubs projected at $89 million, ranked
22nd and 23rd.
Baseball brief
LOCAL/WORLD 8
Kerry races against deadlines for Mideast peace
ROME Hoping to salvage foundering Mideast peace
negotiations, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is inter-
rupting a trip to Europe with President Barack Obama to
press Israeli and Palestinian leaders to stick with the talks
beyond an April deadline.
The meetings come at a critical time in the peace talks and
against a looming April 30 deadline for a settlement. But the
Palestinians have threatened to walk away before then unless
Israel releases a batch of prisoners as it agreed to by March
29.
The State Department announced Tuesday that Kerry will
travel to Amman, Jordan, to meet with Palestinian leader
Mahmoud Abbas on Wednesday. Kerry also will talk with
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, likely either by
telephone or videoconference, in the next few days, said
deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf. Kerry is currently in Rome
to join Obama at a meeting Thursday with Pope Francis.
Obama: Nuke security deal makes world safer
THE HAGUE, Netherlands President Barack Obama
declared Tuesday that a security summit took concrete
steps to prevent nuclear material falling into the hands of
terrorists even though Russia and China failed to sign an
agreement to beef up inspections.
One of the key results emerging from the two-day summit
in The Hague was that 35 countries pledged to turn interna-
tional guidelines on nuclear security into national laws and
open up their procedures for protecting nuclear installations
to independent scrutiny. The summit also featured new reduc-
tion commitments, with Japan, Italy and Belgium agreeing
to cut their stocks of highly enriched uranium and plutoni-
um.
This was not about vague commitments, it was about tak-
ing tangible and concrete steps to secure more of the worlds
nuclear material so it never falls into the hands of terrorists
and thats what weve done, Obama said.
Around the world
visitors who wish to hike, bike, walk
dogs or ride horses along the road to
marvel at the coastal geography and
ocean views.
Amy Sullivan, an avid hiker, jumped
at the opportunity to serve as a Devils
Slide Trail volunteer.
Im just an ocean lover anyway but
it was funny when you were driving
through here you just didnt get that
sense of how spectacular it is. But
walking, it just feels bigger than life,
Sullivan said. Its just a spectacular
stretch and Devils Slide, it has this
whole aura to it and Im just so delight-
ed that they decided to put the effort
into making it a trail.
Thanks to the $2 million revamp
funded by the Coastal Conservancy,
Caltrans and the county, the public
will be able to see Devils Slide like
never before, said Marlene Finley,
director of San Mateo County Parks
Department.
Youre right on the edge of the
ocean and so many people remember
having drove Highway 1 and not being
able to take their eyes off the road. But
now you get this opportunity to see
these places and spend more time.
Finley said.
The trail was repaved and the new
park includes 42 parking spaces, two
handicap spaces and two RV spaces
spread between two parking lots.
There is a lot on each end of the trail,
with the northern lot only accessible
when traveling south. Other amenities
include restrooms, drinking fountains,
bike racks and informational panels.
There are three overlook sites with
benches and observation scopes to
allow visitors to observe marine life
such as harbor and elephant seals, dol-
phins, sharks, sea lions and whales.
There are also an array of fowl such as
falcons, pelicans, murres and gulls.
The site is historic and there are
numerous explanatory panels. Devils
Slide was once used by the Ocean Shore
Railroad but closed due to erosion and
landslides. Deirdra Kennedy, board
member of the Pacifica Historical
Society, relishes her ability to travel
the path by foot.
Its enchanting, I just close my
eyes and I can hear the train whistle,
Kennedy said. Its a marvelous expe-
rience and we hope to also have his-
toric walks.
The county is looking at creating
connecting trails. One would be the
Green Valley Trail, which would start at
the southern portion of Devils Slide
Trail and exit by Gray Whale Cove,
Finley said. Eventually, county of-
cials would like to create trails from
Pacica to Montara, but that could take
years to complete, Finley said.
The park has a lot to offer and its
exciting to reopen this special part of
the coast to the public, Finley said.
Its unique because of the active
geology, the history, the tradition.
Youll see the bunker site from World
War II, theres just a lot of culture.
Theres natural resources and its a
place to also get active in the parks
whether its walking, riding a bicycle,
also walking dogs on leashes its
open to horses too, Finley said.
About 40 to 60 people have signed
up to volunteer and they expect the
trail to be well used because its so
accessible, lots of people that dont
even hike will be able to use it,
Sullivan said.
There is an opening ceremony that
quickly sold out, however, the trail
will be ready for use starting 1 p.m.
Thursday.
I just cant wait until this trail
opens and I get to see people enjoying
Devils Slide, Finley said. It makes
me want to linger. Its just every time
Ive been out here I nd I want to stay
out here longer than I planned.
For more information about the
Devils Slide Trail visit
www.SMCoParks.org. Parking is lim-
ited at the Devils Slide Trail. The
SamTrans Route 17 heading south on
Highway 1 will offer stops at the park
and the city of Pacica will operate a
free shuttle from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on
weekends. For more information about

Later, at about 1:30 a.m., employees called police about
an interrupted commercial burglary and the female employ-

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Alan Chung Cheung Wong
Case Number: 124190
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Alan Chung Cheung
Wong. A Petition for Probate has been
filed by James Wong & Irene Wong in
the Superior Court of California, County
of San Mateo. The Petition for Probate
requests that James Wong & Irene Wong
be appointed as personal representative
to administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are availa-
ble of examination in the file kept by the
court
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: April 11, 2014 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal au-
thority may affect your rights as a cred-
itor. You may want to consult with an at-
torney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

Big movers
By Steve Rothwell
NEW YORK Stocks got a lift
Tuesday as health care companies
bounced back after a heavy sell-off.
Biotechnology stocks in the
Standard & Poors 500 index rose for
the first time in five days after a sharp
sell-off that was prompted by com-
plaints from lawmakers over the cost
of certain drugs. Merck and Boston
Scientific were among the companies
that rose.
The stock market has been flipping
between gains and losses for the most
of the month, as investors have
bought stocks after every dip. While
many investors are confident that
economic growth will accelerate as
the weather moderates following an
unusually harsh winter, they are reluc-
tant to push stock prices higher
before seeing more evidence that the
economy is picking up.
The reasons to buy are certainly
there, said Robert Pavlik, chief mar-
ket strategist at Banyan Partners, a
wealth management company.
People are afraid to jump the gun.
The S&P 500 rose 8.18 points, or
0.4 percent, to 1,865.62. The Dow
Jones industrial average gained
91.19 points, or 0.6 percent, to
16, 367. 88. The Nasdaq composite
gained 7.88 points, or 0.2 percent,
to 4, 234. 27.
Nine of the 10 industry groups in
the S&P 500 ended the day higher.
Industrial stocks rose the most, 0.9
percent, followed by the energy and
health care sectors, which each gained
0.8 percent.
Biotechnology companies in the
index rose 0.6 percent, led by
Alexion Pharmaceuticals, which rose
$3.32, or 2.2 percent, to $153. The
index had lost 8.5 percent over the
previous four days. The index has
surged in the last year and is still up
45 percent over the last 12 months.
Trading was choppy on Tuesday.
Stocks started the day higher, dipped
into the red at midday, then rose
steadily throughout the afternoon.
McCormick was the best perform-
ing stock in the S&P 500 on Tuesday.
The company, which makes spices,
seasonings and condiments, rose
$3.69, or 5.5 percent, to $71.20 after
reporting earnings that beat analysts
estimates. The company also reaf-
firmed its outlook for the year.
Another big gainer was Sonic. The
stock of the drive-in restaurant com-
pany jumped $2.31, or 11 percent, to
$23.23 after the company posted
earnings that exceeded the expecta-
tions of Wall Street analysts. Net
income rose despite the unusually
harsh winter weather.
There were also conflicting reports
on the economy for investors to con-
sider.
One report showed that fewer peo-
ple bought new U.S. homes in
February. Sales fell to the slowest
pace in five months, a sign that the
housing market has yet to recover
fully from brutal winter weather, the
Commerce Department said Tuesday.
Meanwhile, an index measuring U.S.
consumer confidence rose to the high-
est level in six years, another sign
that the economys prospects should
brighten with warmer weather.
Mixed signals have undermined
investors confidence in the economy
after a strong fourth quarter last year
suggested that U.S. growth was
poised to accelerate, said Russ
Koesterich, chief investment strate-
gist for BlackRock. The S&P 500 has
gained 0.3 percent this month, and is
up 0.9 percent for the year.
The investment thesis for 2014
was that the U.S. economy was going
to start sprinting ahead, said
Koesterich. Its been a very sluggish
start to the year ... people are not see-
ing the growth that they expected.
Prices for U.S. government bonds
fell. The yield on the 10-year U.S.
Treasury note rose to 2.74 percent
from 2.73 percent on Monday.
Stocks move higher on Wall Street
By Michael Liedtke
SAN FRANCISCO Professional athletes
frequently get traded to other teams, but San
Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis is
about to be the rst ever to be traded like a
stock.
Davis, an eight-year veteran of the
National Football League, is serving as the
litmus test for a risky concept: Whether
sports stars should be treated like public com-
panies, whose moneymaking potential can
be bought and sold on an exchange by ordi-
nary investors. San Francisco-based Fantex
Inc. plans to operate the exchange and will
orchestrate Davis initial public offering of
stock after getting regulatory approval from
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The deal requires Fantex to pay Davis $4
million in exchange for 10 percent of his
future earnings, including some of his off-
eld income. To cover Davis fee, Fantex
seeks to sell 421,100 shares of stock at $10
apiece. The company hopes to complete the
initial public offering in the next few weeks.
Davis, 30, will need to make more than $40
million just to deliver a small return on
Fantexs investment in him.
Fantex is counting on him to earn most of
that money after his current contract with the
49ers expires in 2015. By then, Davis will be
at an age when it might be difcult for him to
land another big payday, although there are
precedents for it. That means the deal could
prove to be more protable for Davis than the
investors who buy the Fantex stock tracking
his performance.
IPO expert Francis Gaskins is advising
investors to stay on the sidelines. Fantexs
concept just sounds like something that P.T.
Barnum would try to sell, says Gaskins,
president of IPOdesktop.com. I dont think
its going to work out.
Fantex CEO Buck French has been trying
to overcome skepticism while traveling
around the country for pre-IPO meetings that
began in early February. The journey included
traveling to 12 cities in two weeks last
month on an old bus that retired NFL
announcer John Madden used to ride to get to
his broadcasting assignments.
We are successful businessman and we are
putting together a transaction we believe in,
French says.
Fantex will cover its expenses by taking a
small cut of the revenue generated by Davis.
Investors who own the Davis tracking stock
could prot from a combination of the play-
ers earnings and gains in the value of their
shares.
The income will come from Davis career
football earnings dating back to last October,
as well as any money he makes from off-the-
eld endorsements or other jobs, such as
sports broadcasting, that he gets during the
rest of his life.
The deal only covers earnings tied to his
success as an athlete. If Davis decides to do
something like sell insurance after his play-
ing days are over, Fantex wont receive any
of that money. His income from his holdings
in a Jamba Juice franchise and a San Jose art
gallery is already excluded.
The Fantex IPO is part of a land rush to see
who can come up with the next clever concept
to bring fans closer to the game, says veter-
an sports agent Leigh Steinberg, who has
represented hundreds of NFL players during
his career. Its a manifestation of the differ-
ent ancillary revenue ows that players,
speculators and investors can engage in, all
of which is created by the love of sports.

WASHINGTON Fewer people
bought new U.S. homes in February.
Sales fell to their slowest pace in ve
months, a sign that the housing market
has yet to recover fully from brutal
winter weather.
Sales of new homes declined 3.3 per-
cent last month to a seasonally adjust-
ed annual rate of 440,000, the
Commerce Department said Tuesday.
That was down from a revised rate of
455,000 in January.
Buying dropped off during February
in the Northeast, which was battered by
snowstorms. It also fell in Western
states, where last years price increases
have made homes less affordable.
New-home sales have declined 1.1
percent over the past 12 months.
Despite the seasonal hit by a cold win-
ter, sales are still on track to exceed the
428,000 total from 2013, when they
rose 16.3 percent to their highest level
in ve years
Most economists expect sales to
rebound as the weather improves and
the spring buying season begins.

WASHINGTON Seemingly divid-
ed, the Supreme Court struggled
Tuesday with the question of whether
companies have religious rights, a case
challenging President Barack Obamas
health overhaul and its guarantee of
birth control in employees preventive
care plans.
Peppering attorneys with questions
in a 90-minute argument, the justices
weighed the rights of for-prot compa-
nies against the rights of female
employees. The discussion ranged to
abortion, too, and even whether a
female worker could be forced to wear
an all-covering burka.
The outcome could turn on the views
of Justice Anthony Kennedy, often the
decisive vote, as his colleagues
appeared otherwise to divide along lib-
eral and conservative lines.

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

The Redwood City Council unanimously
denied the latest appeal of the proposed
development of Petes Harbor into 411
housing units, calling the project a major
gain for housing in the city.
This is the project that the community
wants, said Councilman John Seybert.
Seybert said voters chose not to change
the zoning of the area with the defeat of
Measure Q in 2003 which was a direct mes-
sage that they want development of the
size and density proposed by the project.
The council denied the appeal after hear-
ing from more than two dozen speakers, the
vast majority of which supported the plan
for 411 condominiums, parking, trails and
a commercial marina with public berths at
the location between Bair Island Road and
Redwood Creek.
The group San Francisco Marinas for All
appealed the Planning Commissions
approval earlier this year on several
grounds including the fate of the marina and
the level of environmental review. The
nonprot wants the marina built before the
housing to ensure it happens because the
one promised by developer Paul Powers at
the nearby One Marina project has not yet
transpired.
Board member Tania Sole told the council
she was speaking under protest because
Alison Madden, a founder and attorney for
the group, had gone to the emergency room
and the city denied her request to postpone
the meeting or extend it to two hearings.
Prior to the councils decision,
Community Development Director Bill
Ekern said possible lawsuits concerning
the marina are not germane to its consid-
eration of the planned development permit.
Ekern also said that having a marina is
not an obligation.
But Powers said after two years of wran-
gling he nally received a marina permit in
January for One Marina and it will be built.
At Petes Harbor, Powers plans an outer
marina of about 150 spaces and now calls
for 45 to 65 to be publicly available. The
proposed residential buildings will range
from three stories to ve stories and con-
tain studio to three-bedroom units. The
project also calls for up to 883 parking
spaces and a new 460-foot-long bicycle and
pedestrian trail connection on the west side
of Uccelli Boulevard linking public trails
to the Bair Island Bridge and other southern
areas.

A 29-year-old Belmont man was sen-
tenced to nine years in prison for having
sex with the drunken sister of his room-
mates girlfriend while on parole for similar
behavior with an inebriated teenage girl.
Judge Jack Grandsaert refused to discount
Joshua Kenneth Bringazis prior strike and
imposed the nine-year term with credit of
1,641 days. The prosecution was very sat-
isfied with the outcome, said District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Defense attorney Paul DeMeester said his
client has a viable appeal based on exclud-
ed evidence about the lack of credibility
of the accusations.
Jurors deliberated two days in February
before convicting Bringazi of unlawful sex-
ual intercourse with a minor and commit-
ting a lewd act on a child
age 14 or 15. The jury
didnt specify if both
convictions refer to the
same or different inci-
dents so Bringazi could
only be sentenced for
one, DeMeester said.
During trial, prosecu-
tors told jurors Bringazi,
then 25, had sex with the
Oregon teen on Aug. 24, 2010, when she
came with her half-sister to visit family.
Bringazi was a roommate of the sisters
boyfriend and the girls reportedly stayed
with them. On the night in question,
Bringazi reportedly pressured the girl to
have a beer during a drinking game before
having sex with her in his room. The next
day, the girl allegedly refused further
advances and Bringazi kicked her and the
sister out of the apartment. The roommate
contacted authorities.
At the time, Bringazi was on parole for
multiple Santa Clara County convictions of
using a minor to produce obscene material
and penetration of a minor using a foreign
object.
Bringazis case started and stalled several
times between his arrest and conviction. He
started trial once before but his previous
attorney caused a mistrial by declaring mid-
trial he had a conict. While awaiting a new
trial date, Bringazi was accused of assault-
ing a correctional ofcer while trying to
remove a T-shirt illegally covering the
mans jail cell light.
During deliberations, one juror was
replaced after taking photos of his wife and
himself embracing in a way described by
the victim and sharing them with other
jurors.

GOP candidate
Kashkari proposes tax breaks
SACRAMENTO A10-year corporate tax
credit for companies that move to California
and create more than 100
new jobs, diverting nearly
$10 billion in high-speed
rail bond money to water
storage projects and pro-
moting fracking for oil
and natural gas are among
the policy proposals
released Tuesday by
Republican gubernatorial
candidate Neel Kashkari.
The proposals read like
a wish list of proposals Republican lawmak-
ers in the state Legislature have pushed over
the last decade. Democrats hold large majori-
ties in both houses and the governorship,
making political compromises on GOPprior-
ities difcult or even unnecessary.
Kashkari, the former U.S. Treasury ofcial
who oversaw the bank bailout at the height
of the nancial crisis, has said he would rely
on that experience to overcome longstand-
ing political divisions in the state capital.
Court upholds San
Francisco gun restrictions
SAN FRANCISCO A federal appeals
court on Tuesday upheld two San Francisco
gun laws challenged by the National Rie
Association and gun owners who live in the
city.
San Francisco requires handgun owners to
secure weapons in their homes by storing
them in a locker, keeping them on their
bodies or applying trigger locks. The city
also bans the sale of ammunition that
expands on impact, has no sporting pur-
pose and is commonly referred to as hol-
low-point bullets.
The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals said the requirements are
reasonable attempts to increase public safe-
ty without trampling on Second
Amendment rights.

With Caada baseball in the heat of the
Coast Pacic Conference race, sophomore
Sam Alton has emerged as one of the best
pitchers in the state.
The right-hander is off to a 6-0 start, ranking
him third among California Community
College pitchers this season. And his undefeat-
ed mark is the best start in the span of Tony
Luccas 10-year span as manager of the Colts.
Its much in part to Altons dominance that
has Caada tied atop the Coast Pacic with
Cabrillo at 9-3 in conference.
Hes given us a quality start ever time he
steps on the mound, Colts manager Tony
Lucca said. More than quality. Hes not let-
ting the other teams score too often.
Over his last four starts, Alton has yielded
just one run in 34 innings of work including
three complete games. The last game in which
he went the distance was on March 15 in a
three-hit shutout against Skyline.
Sam Alton was throwing his best stuff,
Skyline slugger Lance Montano said. He was
mixing. He used the fast-
ball mostly, but hed com-
mand his curveball. And he
had us out of rhythm which
really helped him. Hes
a good pitcher.
Caada knocked off
Skyline again Tuesday in a
14-1 romp on Altons off-
day. And while the Colts
have garnered a reputation
as a power-packed lineup in recent years, they
are trying to establish a depth of pitching that
will allow them to get back to the postseason.
Before missing the playoffs last year, Caada
had advanced to the postseason in six consec-
utive seasons, but never got past the rst
round.
But in Alton the Colts have an ace that has
gone the distance to compete literally.
A native of Sonoma, Alton got a taste of
playoff baseball as a senior at Sonoma Valley
High as the team advanced deep in the North
Coast Section playoffs. The rst-team All-
League and second-team All-Redwood
Empire starting pitcher actually had his high-
school career end on a loss as so many great
high-school pitchers do faltering to San
Ramon in the seminals of the NCS playoffs.
By that time, Alton had made up his mind to
move to the Bay Area for a taste of more com-
petitive college ball than he could nd in
Sonoma. Alton caught the competitive bug
while playing for the Sonoma Joe DiMaggio
squad, when he had the chance to travel to the
Bay Area for matchups with San Mateo,
Pacica and South City. And he quickly
noticed the difference between Bay Area base-
ball culture and that of back home.
You get a lot of notice out here, Alton said.
Not much going on in Sonoma as far as
notice. So it was just nice to open up my eyes
to another area of baseball.
Alton started his collegiate career at City
College of San Francisco in 2011 with horren-
dous results. As a freshman, he posted a 1-10
record, including dropping his rst eight deci-
sions.
So, in 2012 he transferred to Caada where
he took a redshirt and dedicated himself to get-
ting in peak physical shape.
Physically Im a lot bigger now, Alton
said. But (Ive benetted from) just the men-
tal side of it and being more condent. And
knowing the system better and just going out
there and slowing down the game and just
knowing what I need to do.
Now Alton feasts on opposing batters by
pounding the bottom of the strike zone, while
relying on the Colts up-the-middle combo of
Dominic Deesta and Kyle Zirbes to make the
plays behind him. And Colts pitching coach
Steve Hoff is hoping Alton just keeps getting
stronger.
He went from a guy who always had pretty
good stuff to a guy who can command that
good stuff, Hoff said. He can nd and repeat
his mechanics over and over and over again.
Caada has a big test Thursday in travelling
to second-place Ohlone ranked No. 5 in the
state. While the Colts have yet to announce
Thursdays starter, odds are they throw all
theyve got at the Renegades with their domi-
nant ace, Alton.

EDMONTON, Alberta Joe Pavelski
scored three goals and set up another as the
San Jose Sharks snapped a two-game losing
streak with a 5-2 victory over the struggling
Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday.
Patrick Marleau and Marty Havlat also
scored for the Sharks (47-18-9) who moved
four points up on idle Anaheim for the Pacic
Division lead and remained two points behind
St. Louis for rst in the Western Conference.
San Jose clinched a playoff spot in a
shootout loss to Calgary on Monday.
David Perron and Taylor Hall scored for the
second-to-last place Oilers (25-39-9), who
have lost three in a row. Edmonton was beat-
en 8-1 by the Calgary Flames on Sunday after
a 3-1 defeat to the last-place Buffalo Sabres.
The Oilers started the scoring just over four min-
utes in when Perron went around Tyler Kennedy
before putting a shot past Antti Niemi. It was
Perrons team-leading 26th goal.
San Jose tied it 6:28 into the second on
Pavelskis rst goal of the night. Ben Scrivens
made the initial stop on a shot from the slot by
Marleau, but the rebound angled to Pavelski at
the side of the net for his 35th goal.
Another power-play goal midway
through the period gave San Jose a 2-1
lead. Pavelski chopped a puck to Marleau
at the top of the opposite circle, and he
scored before Scrivens could get across.
It was Marleaus 31st goal.
The Sharks took a two-goal lead with 30
seconds left in the middle period after Jeff
Petry overskated a puck at his blue line,
allowing Havlat to come in and put a wrist
shot past Scrivens stickside.
San Jose scored their third man-advantage
goal of the game at 1:17 of the third period.
Pavelski got the puck with space in front,
waited for defender Andrew Ference to go
down, and then beat Scrivens to make it 4-1.
Pavelski nished his third hat trick of the
season with seven minutes left in the third.
Pavelskis four-point night gave him 71 points
on the season.
Hall brought the Oilers within 5-2 when he
got to a rebound in front and hooked in a div-
ing backhand shot for his 25th goal.
The Oilers have been outscored 16-4 in
their last three home games.
