The growth of the Bay Area hos-
pitality market has sparked
Skyline College to add a hospital-
ity and tourism management pro-
gram this fall through a grant
awarded to the San Bruno commu-
nity college.
In July 2013, the college
received the Bay Region Retail,
Hospitality and Tourism Learn and
Earn grant through the State
Chancellors Ofce of California
Community Colleges Doing What
Matters for Jobs and the Economy
Initiative. Employment in the
hospitality and tourism sector is
projected to create 210,000 new
jobs in California by 2017, an
increase of 11.8 percent according
to the Doing What Matters for
Jobs and the Economy Sector
Prole Fact Sheet generated out
of the state Chancellors Ofce of
the California Community
College System.
The college decided to bring on
Andrea Vizenor, who worked in the
hospitality industry for 10 years
before teaching high school, to
serve as the deputy sector naviga-
tor for the Bay Area region. The
Bay region is dened as the area
from Santa Rosa to Monterey.
Building the program from
scratch is exciting, said Vizenor,
who worked in management for
Hyatt Hotels for 10 years. Were
working really closely with indus-
try partners to nd the best strate-
gy to prepare students for work.
We want to be able to provide as
many exciting opportunities as
possible.
The program would include
stackable credentials, certicates

After months of arguments over
the fate of Half Moon Bays Main
Street Bridge, the City Council is
moving to have the historic infra-
structure structurally tested to
determine the best course of action
and attempt to assuage public con-
cern.
The council directed staff
Thursday to engage an independ-
ent engineering rm to determine
if the narrow bridge between State
Route 92 and Half Moon Bays
downtown could be brought up to
federal safety standards through
rehabilitation or if the city should
continue on its present course
toward replacing it.
Some who advocate for the
bridges preservation seem
encouraged by what they hope is
the councils change of heart
while others believe testing wont
matter and the council is only
doing so to appear amenable.
Regardless, the bridges history
warrants testing by both the
National Environmental Policy
and the California Environmental
Quality acts, according to a city

sons, preschools, summer camps
and more. The site, launched in
beta in March, allows parents to

Sixteen prison months for L.A.
man who crushed Chihuahua
LOS ANGELES ALos Angeles man
who was caught on video running over
his estranged wifes Chihuahua has
been sentenced to a year and four
months in prison.
L.A. County prosecutors say 45-
year-old Michael David Parker received
the sentence on Monday.
Last week, Parker pleaded no contest
to animal cruelty.
Authorities said Parker took the 5
1/2-year-old dog named Cow Cow to a
Hawthorne alley on Dec. 28, ran it over
and left the dog to die.
Anearby resident found the dog and
put its body in a bag. Police says they
tracked down the car from surveillance
camera video and Parker was arrested a
few days later.
Con man gets prison for
San Diego church fraud
SAN DIEGO A con-man-turned-
pastor has been sentenced to ve years
in federal prison for embezzling $3
million from his San Diego church con-
gregation.
Barry Minkow was ordered Monday
to do the time after he completes a
Florida sentence of up to 21 months for
an unrelated fraud.
Minkow, whos 47, became famous
as a teenager for founding the ZZZZ
Best carpet cleaning company. It made
him a millionaire but was embroiled in
a $100 million fraud scheme. Minkow
went to prison, was released in 1995
and two years later became pastor of the
San Diego Community Bible Church.
Prosecutors say he opened unautho-
rized church accounts, forged checks
and stole member donations. In a letter
to the judge, Minkow said he regrets
his actions.
In court, parishioners said they felt
hed betrayed them.
Sea World orca trainers
begin using safety vests
ORLANDO, Fla. Trainers at Sea
Worlds marine parks began wearing
inatable safety vests Monday when-
ever they work near killer whales, yet
another safety measure implemented
after the 2010 death of a trainer who
was dragged into a pool by an orca.
The ve-pound nylon vests can be
inated like an airplane life jacket and
have a tube connecting to a small oxy-
gen tank that ts in a pouch in the
back, said Kelly Flaherty Clark, Sea
Worlds curator of animal training. The
vests took more than three years to
develop with input from trainers, engi-
neers and safety experts.
On Feb. 24, 2010, trainer Dawn
Brancheau was interacting with
Tilikum, a killer whale, in front of vis-
itors in a pool at Shamu Stadium in
Orlando when Tilikum grabbed her and
pulled her off a platform into the pool,
then refused to release her. Since
Brancheaus death, trainers have been
unable to get into the water with killer
whales amid calls for new safety meas-
ures.
The 22 trainers who work at Shamu
Stadium have been trained in the use of
the vests, which could buy a trainer
time to be rescued if the trainer fell into
a pool.
Its easy to use, Flaherty Clark
said. Its one of many changes that Sea
World has made in the last four years.
Other changes include remotely con-
trolled pool gates, new walkways
around Shamu Stadium and an addition-
al raised platform in an orca pool that
could be used to lift a whale out of the
water should a trainer fall in. But the
vests are probably the most visible
change that park visitors will notice,
she said.
The start of using the vests had noth-
ing to do with an appellate courts
recent decision upholding a ruling that
Sea World had violated a federal work-
place safety law, Flaherty Clark added.
Earlier this month, that appellate
court in Washington upheld a regulato-
ry safety nding against Sea World by
the Occupational Safety and Health
Review Commission following an
investigation into Brancheaus drown-
ing. The court said Sea World had
exposed trainers to recognized hazards
when working in close contact with
killer whales during performances.

A man who inappropriately touched two
young girls at a San Bruno Target store in
separate incidents on the same day and was
later found to own child pornography and a
life-sized doll of a female child settled both
cases Monday with a ve-year plea deal.
Glenn Albrecht, 40, pleaded no contest to
two counts of felony child molestation and
one count of felony child pornography pos-
session. In return, he will be sentenced Aug.
14 to ve years prison and ordered to regis-
ter as a sex offender for life. Albrecht is free
from custody on a $300,000 bail property
bond and Judge Cliff Cretan agreed yester-
day that he can leave the
state between now and
sentencing hearing.
The settlement is pret-
ty reasonable, District
Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe.
This is obviously a
fellow who is likely to
repeat his actions,
Wagstaffe said.
San Bruno police arrested Albrecht Aug.
26, 2012, after he allegedly touched the but-
tocks of a 6-year-old girl who had wandered
by herself into an aisle. The girl told her
parents immediately and pointed out a man
later identified as Albrecht when he re-
entered the store. The father struck Albrecht
and store security detained him until police
arrived.
Albrecht was wearing a shirt emblazoned
with the phrase Rub me for luck.
A search of Albrechts home turned up a
life-sized doll of a female child, according
to the District Attorneys Ofce.
After his arrest, investigators learned
after that incident but before apprehension
Albrecht grabbed an 11-year-old girls but-
tocks.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO California would pro-
hibit businesses from charging a fee to take
mug shots off their websites under a bill
that passed out of the state Senate on
Monday.
Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, said web-
sites that extract and compile criminal
record information from police and sher-
iffs departments have proliferated in recent
years. These sites charge hundreds or even
thousands of dollars to have peoples book-
ing photos removed whether or not a per-
son was actually charged or convicted, he
said.
This is extortion, plain and simple,
Hill said.
SB1027 passed the
Senate on a 34-0 vote. It
now moves to the
Assembly.
Hill quoted gures from
the state attorney gener-
als office saying more
than 930, 000
Californians were arrest-
ed in 2011. Yet more than
half of them were never
convicted or had the charges dropped.
Its likely all those people have their
mug shots online, Hill said.
According to Hills ofce, such commer-
cial websites have turned a public service
into a prot by charging substantial fees to
have information removed. There have
been instances where people have lost
work because their booking photo for sus-
picion of driving under the inuence was
posted online even though the charge was
ultimately dropped.
Five other states including Georgi a,
Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Utah already
have banned fees for removing mug shots.
An additional 14 states are now considering
similar legislation.
Californias bill is being backed by some
law enforcement groups such as the
Association for Los Angeles Deputy
Sheriffs.
In addition to the ban, the bill imposes a
ne of up to $1,000 or the cost of damages,
whichever is greater.
Theres no known opposition so far.
Bill would ban charging fee for removing mug shots

Man arrested for trying to
kill ex-girlfriend in South City
A 36-year-old man has been arrested on
suspicion of attempted murder for alleged-
ly trying to kill his ex-girlfriend with a
knife at her South San Francisco residence
early Sunday, police said.
The victim called police at about 3:20
a.m. to report that her ex-boyfriend, 36-
year-old Wilbert Interian-Rodriguez, had
attacked her with a large serrated kitchen
knife at her home in the 200 block of
Holly Avenue, authorities said.
Police said their investigation concluded
that the woman and Interian-Rodriguez had
been arguing but when the woman tried to
leave he blocked the door, grabbed the
knife, held it against her throat, threat-
ened to kill her and destroyed her phone to
prevent her from calling for emergency
help.
Police said that in addition to attempted
murder, Interian-Rodriguez was arrested on
suspicion of making terrorist threats,
false imprisonment and destroying a tele-
phone to prevent calling for emergency
help.

hoods.

such as shopping centers, police said.
The public is also advised to lock their
cars, even if they are leaving for a few
minutes, and to hide any valuables from

Elderly woman falls
victim to grandson scam
South San Francisco police is warning
the public of a telephone scam that an eld-
erly woman fell victim to earlier this
month.
The woman received multiple phone
calls between April 14 and April 17 from a
male subject who claimed to be her grand-
son, police said.
The male told her he was arrested in
Mexico and needed thousands of dollars to
be released on bail, according to police.
He also swore her to secrecy in order to
avoid shame from the rest of the family,
police said.
Another male subject called the woman
claiming he was from the U.S. Embassy
and knew about her grandsons arrest,
according to police.
The male then advised her to send the
bail money immediately and gave her
directions to withdraw money from her
bank account and send it through
MoneyGram at a pharmacy store, police
said.
The woman complied with the orders and
completed the transactions, according to
police.
She later called her real grandson at his
home and learned she was victim of a scam
after he told her he had never been in
Mexico, police said.
Anyone who receives such a suspicious
phone call is advised to call police.

Fury TMK 20 pulled up to the left side of a
travelling companion flying a Cessna
210. The Sea Furys pilot heard a thump
and immediately focused on trying to fly
his own plane to land safely.
Plagens said the pilot saw the Cessna
going down but did not see it crash.
Obviously, hes still shaken up, said
Plagens, who interviewed the surviving
pilot twice.
The Contra Costa County Sheriff s
Office said searchers located the Cessna
under 13 feet of water about 1 1/2 miles
off the Richmond shoreline east of San
Francisco. The crashed plane and its pilot
havent been recovered, and officials
havent identified the two pilots.
Plagens inspected the Hawker, which
suffered tail damage, and said hes await-
ing the recovery of the Cessna to contin-
ue his investigation.
The collision occurred at about 4 p.m.
Sunday near the Richmond-San Rafael
Bridge.
Witnesses at Point San Pablo Yacht
Harbor told the San Francisco Chronicle
that the Cessna spiraled out of control
and crashed into the choppy water.
Debris was found in the bay after the
col l i si on.
The Sea Furys pilot landed at Eagles
Nest Airport in the small city of Ione in
Amador County, Federal Avi at i on
Administration spokesman Ian Gregor
said. The Sea Furys occupants a hus-
band and wife were uninjured. It was
unclear how many people were in the
Cessna.
Both planes had departed from Eagles
Nest Airport to participate in the Pacific
Coast Dream Machines, an annual festi-
val at Half Moon Bay Airport that features
a variety of planes, motorcycles and cars.
Both planes left Half Moon Bay, about 20
miles south of San Francisco, and were on
their return flight.
FAArecords indicate the Sea Fury, a vin-
tage British fighter plane, is registered to
Sanders Aeronautics Inc. in Ione. A man
who answered the phone at the companys
listed number declined to comment.
Sanders Aeronautics website said the
family-run company specializes in air-
craft restoration, and brothers Dennis and
Brian Sanders are avid air racers.

WASHINGTON U.S. public high
schools have reached a milestone, an
80 percent graduation rate. Yet that
still means 1 of every 5 students
walks away without a diploma.
Citing the progress, researchers are
projecting a 90 percent national
graduation rate by 2020.
Their report, based on Education
Department statistics from 2012, was
presented Monday at the Building a
GradNation Summit.
The growth has been spurred by
such factors as a greater awareness of
the dropout problem and efforts by
districts, states and the federal gov-
ernment to include graduation rates in
accountability measures. Among the
initiatives are closing dropout fac-
tory schools.
In addition, schools are taking
aggressive action, such as hiring
intervention specialists who work
with students one on one, to keep
teenagers in class, researchers said.
Growth in rates among African-
American and Hispanic students
helped fuel the gains. Most of the
growth has occurred since 2006 after
decades of stagnation.
At a moment when everything
seems so broken and seems so unfix-
able ... this story tells you some-
thing completely different, said
John Gomperts, president of
Americas Promise Alliance, which
was founded by former Secretary of
State Colin Powell and helped pro-
duce the report.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan
said Monday the country owes a debt
of gratitude to teachers, students and
families whose hard work helped the
country reach the 80 percent mark.

Donnelly pushes for
gun rights in governors race
SACRAMENTO Republican
state Assemblyman Tim Donnelly
is continuing
his focus on gun
rights in his
campaign for
governor, pro-
moting legisla-
tion Monday
that would
expand the right
to carry a con-
cealed weapon
despite public
opinion polls showing
Californians generally favor greater
rearm restrictions.
The ardent gun-rights advocate
from San Bernardino County held a
news conference to promote his
bill, AB1563, which would shift
responsibility for issuing con-
cealed weapons permits from local
law enforcement agencies to the
state Department of Justice.

VILONIA, Ark. The sky
turned black as the funnel cloud
closed in, and Maggie Caro rushed
with her husband and two children
to a community shelter at a
Vilonia school, where they were
among the last to get inside the
fortied gym before the doors were
shut.
They were screaming, Run!
Run! Its coming! Caro recalled.
And then all hell broke loose.
The half-mile-wide tornado
carved an 80-mile path of destruc-
tion through the Little Rock sub-
urbs Sunday evening, killing at
least 15 people, attening rows of
homes, shredding cars along a
highway and demolishing a brand-
new school before it even had a
chance to open.
Ofcials said the death toll could
have been worse if residents had-
nt piled into underground storm
shelters and fortied safe rooms
after listening to forecasts on TV
and radio, getting cellphone alerts
or calls or texts from loved ones,
and hearing sirens blare through
their neighborhoods.
Also on peoples minds: memo-
ries of a weaker tornado that
smashed through on April 25,
2011. It took nearly the same path
and killed at least four people.
You had people breaking down
because they were reliving three
years ago, Kimber Standridge
said of the scene inside the com-
munity shelter, which she said was
packed with perhaps more than
100 people.
Standridge and a friend had gath-
ered up seven children they were
watching and sped through the
streets just minutes before the
twister hit.
When they shut the doors, we
knew it was on us, Standridge
said. Everybody hunkered down.
There were a lot of people doing
prayer circles, holding hands and
praying.
Caro and Standridge said the
shelter was so solid they barely
felt or heard the tornado.
It was among a rash of twisters
and violent storms across the
Midwest and South that killed 17
people in all on Sunday.
With forecasters warning of
more of the same Monday across
the South, at least three tornados
attened homes and businesses,
ipped trucks over on highways
and injured an unknown number of
people in Mississippi and
Alabama.

Rene Redzepis daringly innova-
tive Danish restaurant Noma has
reclaimed the title of worlds top
restaurant.
Noma which has a meticulous
focus on simple, indigenous ingre-
dients such as snails, moss and cod
liver held the No. 1 spot on
Restaurant magazines annual
ranking of the worlds 50 best
restaurants for three years before
being bested in 2013 by avant-
garde eatery El Celler de Can Roca
in Girona, Spain. During a ceremo-
ny Monday in London, Noma
reclaimed the top spot while El
Celler fell to No. 2.
Located on Copenhagens water-
front, Nomas menu is almost
obsessively dened by the Nordic
landscape. Ingredients often are
foraged nearby and the meals at the
45-seat restaurant which holds
two Michelin stars are meant to
viscerally connect diners to the
land and sea. The restaurant opened
in 2004 and gets thousands of
reservation requests a day.
El Celler, which has been run by
brothers Josep, Jordi and Joan
Roca since 1986, also was ranked
No. 2 in 2011 and 2012. The
restaurant is known for blending
traditional ingredients and innova-
tive cooking techniques.
In third place is Modena, Italys
Osteria Francescana, the same rank
it held last year. The restaurant has
placed in the top 10 restaurants
since 2010.
Seven U.S. restaurants made the
list, two of them in the top 10
Daniel Humms Eleven Madison
Park in New York was No. 4, up
from 5th place last year; and Grant
Achatz ultra-modernist Alinea
placed at No. 9, up from 15th last
year. Eric Riperts seafood-focused
Le Bernardin in New York fell from
19th to 21st, while Daniel
Bouluds Daniel in New York
slipped from 29th to 40th.

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

KIEV, Ukraine The mayor of Ukraines
second-largest city was shot in the back
Monday and hundreds of men attacked a
peaceful pro-Ukraine rally with batons,
bricks and stun grenades, wounding dozens
as tensions soared in Ukraines volatile
east.
One presidential candidate said the mayor
was deliberately targeted in an effort to
destabilize the entire city of Kharkiv, a hub
of 1.5 million people.
Russias defense chief meanwhile assured
U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel in a
telephone call that Russia would not invade
Ukraine, the Pentagon said.
Armed insurgents tacitly backed by
Moscow are seeking more autonomy in
eastern Ukraine and possibly even inde-
pendence or annexation with Russia.
Ukraines acting government and the West
have accused Russia of orchestrating the
unrest, which they fear Moscow could use as
a pretext for an invasion.
Ratcheting up the pressure, President
Barack Obamas government levied new
sanctions on seven Russian ofcials and 17
companies with links to President Vladimir
Putins inner circle. The U.S. also revoked
licenses for some high-tech items that
could be used by the Russian military.
In Brussels, the European Union moved
to add 15 more ofcials to its Russian sanc-
tions list to protest Moscows meddling in
Ukraine. That decision, reached by the
ambassadors to the EUs 28 nations, was
being formally conrmed by the EUs gov-
ernments, officials told the Associated
Press.
In the eastern city of Donetsk, about
1,000 demonstrators carrying Ukrainian
ags marched through the streets to hold a
pro-Ukrainian rally Monday night. They
were attacked by several hundred armed men
shouting Russia!
Police attempted to hold the pro-Russia
men back but then largely stood aside as
dozens of protesters were battered.
Hennady Kernes, the mayor of Kharkiv,
was shot in the back Monday morning
while cycling on the outskirts of the city,
his ofce said. He underwent surgery and
was reported by the hospital to be in grave
but stable condition.

MINYA, Egypt The Muslim
Brotherhoods spiritual leader and more
than 680 other people were sentenced to
death Monday stemming from last years
post-coup violence in the latest mass trial
that was denounced in the West and by
human rights groups as contrary to the rule
of law.
In a separate ruling Monday, a court
banned the April 6 youth group one of
several that engineered the 2011 uprising
against longtime leader Hosni Mubarak that
set off nearly three years of unrest. It
ordered the confiscation of the groups
ofces.
The sentences for the 683 defendants were
announced by Judge Said Youssef at a court
session in the southern city of Minya that
lasted only eight minutes.
The verdicts are not nal and are expected
to be overturned. Under the law, once the
defendants who were tried in absentia turn
themselves in which is all but 63 of the
accused their trials will start over.
The mass trials were linked to riots in
which supporters of ousted President
Mohammed Morsi allegedly attacked police
stations and churches in retaliation for
security forces violently breaking up Cairo
sit-ins by Islamists in August that left hun-
dreds dead. The defendants in Mondays trial
are part of a group of nearly 1,000 who were
implicated in the deaths of three policemen
and a civilian, as well as others who were
injured.
Youssef said he was referring the death
sentences which followed convictions
for the violence to the Grand Mufti,
Egypts top Islamic ofcial.

Letters to the editor
Collaboration key in
helping those in need
Editor,
Columnist John McDowells generalized
and derogatory references to 9-5 bureau-
crats is offensive and unfair. The subject of
his column, Serving those in need in the
April 26 edition of the Daily Journal, is the
good work of San Mateo County churches
and nonprots in serving the disadvantaged
among us. Agreed.
What Mr. McDowell may not realize is
the incredible collaboration between these
very bureaucrats and churches and non-
prots. San Mateo County is one of the
best for this collaboration. In fact, public
agencies contract with these organizations
to help in areas they do so well. Enough
said. As a layman and citizen I laud the
efforts of all the organizations that help
and support the disadvantaged and
McDowell says it well. However, we should
not confer a kind of second rate status on
those that have made it their lifes occupa-
tion to help others.

The high cost of free parking
Editor,
The Redwood City Council is exhibiting
exemplary leadership with its latest plan to
increase parking rates in its core down-
town. The concept of paying rent for a desk
or a bed, otherwise known as ofce rent and
apartment rent is widely accepted, but for
some reason we balk at the notion of pay-
ing rent to park a car. This blindness to the
cost we all pay for allotting huge space in
our urban areas to car storage is just a ves-
tige of last centurys love affair with the
automobile.
As UCLAprofessor Donald Shoup has
pointed out in his seminal book, The high
cost of free parking, our current policy of
subsidizing parking has not evolved with
the times. Fortunately, forward-looking
municipalities like Redwood City are lead-
ing the way to the 21st century and demand-
ing that car commuters pay a more realistic
price for the space their machines occupy.

We need someone in the middle
Editor,
After reading the interview of Mr. Horsley
and Mr. Stogner in the Daily Journal, I must
say, I am disappointed in Mr. Horsleys
answers (Incumbent, challenger vie for
supervisor seat in the April 9 edition of
the Daily Journal.) He seems to have that
business as usual and dont rock the
boat attitude about the job of county super-
visor. He seemed to kind of skim over the
issues with his answers. On the other hand,
Mr. Stogners interview seemed to hit the
nail on the head with his concerns of the
county nancial and budgetary issues. But
Mr. Stogners lack of concern about the
welfare and well-being of the citizens of our
county troubles me deeply. Mr. Stogners
attitude of they can fend for themselves,
plus, his lack of knowledge on how the coun-
ty government works, are big problem. I do
believe that all county-based special districts
should answer to the county supervisors. As
for a good candidate for county supervisor,
we need someone in the middle.
As far as the issue of Mr. Horsley receiving
his county pension after retiring from the
Sheriffs Ofce in addition to collecting his
current salary as county supervisor, it is a
non-issue. I bet if the shoe was on the other
foot, Mr. Stogner and Mr. Grocott (April 14
letter, Retirement pay and Mr. Horsley by
Matt Grocott) would be the rst ones crying
that they should be entitled to receive both
their pension and salary at the same time.
Mr. Stogner and Mr. Grocott are preaching a
double-standard. Mr. Horsley is legally and
morally entitled to receive both his pension
and his salary at the same time. What is Mr.
Horsley supposed to do, retire and sit around
the house getting old, because he is not
allowed to do anything else? Mr. Stogner and
Mr. Grocott need to get lives.

Serving those in need
Editor,
Mr. John McDowells weekend column
(Serving Those in Need in the April 26-27
issue of the Daily Journal) was a blessed
relief from the ongoing partisanship of the
left and the right, which is then taken to an
extreme by 24/7 cable news (The Nevada
rancher Cliven Bundy asco).
Mr. McDowells honesty and moderation is
to be sincerely admired; and his reminder of
the importance of people helping people res-
onates more than ever today.

Sinking to a new level
Editor,
I want to point out that I did not use the
name of letter writer Gus Sink when I
responded to his concerns over news cover-
age of the woman repeatedly arrested at SFO
(Response to Bookem, Dano in secret
letter in the April 26 edition of the Daily
Journal). He, however, saw t to make fun of
my name with a crack about a big red dog.
This is sinking to a new level.

Money versus community
Editor,
For those who arent aware, our community
is experiencing slow motion grand larceny.
SPI holdings is stealing a community ameni-
t y, the ice rink at the Bridgepointe Shopping
Center, by willfully keeping it dark since last
June hoping no one will notice.
SPI has now proposed to amend their agree-
ment with the city to change zoning, allow-
ing the installation of more big box stores.
There is a stipulation in the Bridgepointe
Master Agreement stating a recreational use
must remain part of the project. The agreed to
covenant is there for a reason. The city cant
just be about prot and tax revenue. Should
we take out Beresford Park and put up condo-
miniums so the city can garner more tax rev-
enue? Should we eliminate Central Park and
put up some high-rise ofce buildings to
bring more commerce to the city and thus
increase tax revenue? The ice rink is the same
as a park; it is just indoors.
SPI claims Bridgepointe is private proper-
ty so it can do what it wants. However, SPI is
bound by covenant to abide by its agree-
ments. Our city government is letting a big
money developer run roughshod over the citi-
zenry. This is a classic case of big money
versus the little guy. If those of us advocating
for the ice rink had the resources of SPI, we
would sue and win hands down in court.
Tell your kids who have no place to skate:
you must follow the rules and keep your
promises, unless of course you are wealthy
and then you can break your promises.
Remember Johnny, he who has the gold
makes the rules.

Hillsborough
Speiers attack
Editor,
Regarding the guest perspective by U.S.
Rep. Jackie Speier Treat climate change like
a security threat in the April 22 edition of
the Daily Journal, swap out the words cli-
mate change to national debt and your
Democrat colleagues run commercials about
Republicans pushing grandma over the cliff.
Jackie, your attack on Republicans not
making a priority of climate change was a
cheap shot. Both parties do their share of
demonizing and that is why Congress has
such a low approval rating. Rather than esca-
lating divisiveness, I suggest showing
respect for opposing arguments.
Having worked for the Department of
Defense inside the Beltway in the 1990s, I
learned that everything boils down to bills
and bill payers. Both parties tend to scratch
each others back to get their piece of the pie
and overlook the greater good. The bill pay-
ers are our posterity.
Our national debt in the past several years
has accelerated at warp speed. Historically,
Congress passed separate appropriations
bills. In the past several years, Congress
passed omnibus appropriations bills
rolling everything into one ball of wax.
This fogs accountability and makes sure
everyone gets paid off. There needs to be
culture change in our lawmakers. Do it for
the children.

Russian into love
H
ey ladies, perpetual bachelor
George Clooney may be off the
market now but theres another
option for those still seeking Prince
Charming.
Or, shall I saw,
President Vlad?
After 30 years of
matrimony, Russian
President Vladimir
Putin and his wife
pulled the trigger on
their year-long sepa-
ration with divorce
papers earlier this
month. Vlad is now
ready to get back out
there but after so many years, where to
begin in the search for his modern-day
Anna Karenina? Its not like President
Barack Obama will jump at the chance to
pay wingman and the former Queer Eye for
the Straight Guy isnt likely to reassemble
and offer pointers on catching somebodys
attention. Thankfully, former action gure
Steven Seagal has expressed his lifelong
affection for his pal Putin who knew?
so perhaps the Russian leader wont have to
navigate alone the treacherous pool of
gold-diggers, casual hookups and rejects
from Flavor of Love.
The rst option in this post-Cold War
world, of course, is online dating. Putin
should probably steer away from OkCupid
since he apparently shares similar views on
acceptable relationships with former
Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich who was infa-
mously ousted over his Proposition 8 cam-
paign donation after the dating site asked
users to try a different browser.
But there are plenty of other sites out
there where Putin can gamble on love, hop-
ing the women responding to his ads actu-
ally exist and he doesnt end up on an
episode of Catsh. Of course, Putin could
take a cue from the Opening Ceremonies of
the Sochi Olympics and polish any aws
out of his photo, too.
Before you get too excited, though, at the
fantasy of a mail-order leader, consider if
hes really the type of guy over whom
women should battle. Putin has spent years
cultivating himself as the outdoorsy type
so theres a chance his prole would include
something about long walks on the sands
of the Caspian Sea or making snow angels
in the Siberian urries.
He also reportedly had a long ing with a
former Olympic gymnast another sign
that he needs somebody athletic or maybe
an indication he appreciates exibility.
Yet, what else do we know of the man
who looks a little like Anderson Coopers
less photogenic and more dour third cousin?
First of all, Putin apparently likes to
always get his own way. Just ask Crimea.
And Ukraine.
On the other hand, a potential Putin
honey would save money by not needing to
shell out for expensive delicate unmention-
ables. Beginning in July, a new law kicks
in banning any lingerie that doesnt con-
tain at least 94 percent cotton. Goodbye
Victorias Secret, hello Hanes. Putin obvi-
ously doesnt want to be distracted on dates
wondering what he might nd underneath if
he manages to get around the proverbial
bases.
Speaking of dates, what would Putin plan
for a fun outing? Drinking white Russians
is a tad too literal although picturing stay-
in movie night at the Kremlin palace with a
copy of The Big Lebowski is worth a
chuckle or two. Taking in a Pussy Riot
comeback concert is obviously met with a
big, fat nyet.
The bottom line, though, is that the true
test of love for any future Mrs. Putin may
just be what lies in her own heart. After all,
what you get out of any relationship is
what you Putin.

Big movers
By Ken Sweet
NEWYORK It was a choppy ride
for the stock market on Monday that
ended with major U.S. indexes closing
mostly higher.
Traders were pulled in multiple direc-
tions. Stocks opened higher, fell in
the afternoon, and then rose again in
the last hour of trading.
Bank stocks fell after Bank of
America said a nancial error would
force it to cancel its stock buyback
plan and dividend increase, while
health-care stocks rose after U.S. drug
giant Pzer renewed its pursuit of a
merger with British rival AstraZeneca.
Formerly highflying technology
stocks fell again, dragging the Nasdaq
composite index into the red.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
rose 6.03 points, or 0.3 percent, to
close at 1,869.43. The Dow Jones
industrial average rose 87.28 points,
or 0.5 percent, to 16,448.74 and the
Nasdaq edged down 1.16 points, or
0.03 percent, to 4,074.40. The Nasdaq
erased most of a 61-point loss.
Bank of America sank $1.00, or 6.3
percent, to $14.95 after it unexpected-
ly announced it would suspend its
stock buyback program and dividend
increase. The bank discovered an error
in how it calculates its capital ratio, a
crucial measure of a banks nancial
strength. The Federal Reserve asked
the bank to put its buyback and divi-
dend increase on hold until the error
was xed.
Goldman Sachs and Citigroup each 1
percent following BofAs announce-
ment. JPMorgan Chase edged down
0.4 percent.
High-risk technology stocks were
another area of weakness Monday as
investors continue to cut their expo-
sure to high-growth names and turn
their focus to larger dividend-paying
companies. Amazon fell $7.25, or 2.5
percent, to $296.58 after falling 10
percent on Friday. Netix lost $7.87,
or 2.4 percent, to $314.21 and
Facebook fell $1.57, or 2.7 percent,
to $56.14.
In contrast, old technology com-
panies such as Microsoft, Apple and
IBM, which have more mature busi-
nesses and pay quarterly dividends,
rose 2 percent or more Monday.
High-growth technology and
biotechnology stocks have been
falling for several weeks now. The
Nasdaq is down 3 percent in April,
while the S&P 500 and Dow are rough-
ly at.
Traders say the selling has been
coming from large investors, who
have been moving out of high-growth
stocks and into safer investments. The
Russell 2000, an index made up most-
ly of smaller companies, is down near-
ly 5 percent this month.
When you have so many investors
doing the same thing at the same time,
you get these exaggerated moves in
some of these stocks, said Ian Winer,
director of equity trading at Wedbush
Securities.
Health-care stocks did well after drug
giant Pzer renewed its push to buy
British drug company AstraZeneca for
$100 billion. The deal would be the
latest big merger in the drug industry
in recent weeks, if it happens.
AstraZeneca jumped $8.35, or 12 per-
cent, to $77.01. Pzer rose $1.29, or
4.2 percent, to $32.04.
The health-care industry has seen
several big deals this year. Just in the
last two weeks, Zimmer Holdings
announced it would buy medical device
maker Biomet for $13.4 billion,
Valeant Pharmaceuticals said it would
bid for Botox maker Allergan for $50
billion and Novartis agreed to buy
GlaxoSmithKlines cancer drug busi-
ness for $16 billion.
These deals have a halo effect on
the rest of the market, particularly in
the industry where it happens, because
investors expect it means more deals
are on their way, said Quincy Krosby,
market strategist with Prudential
Financial.
Investors now turn their focus to the
Federal Reserve, which starts a two-
day policy meeting on Tuesday.
Stocks higher on deal hopes; BofA sinks
By Martin Crutsinger
WASHINGTON In her rst weeks as
Federal Reserve chair, Janet Yellen has made
one thing clear: The Fed will keep all
options open in deciding when to raise
interest rates from record lows.
Gone are the benchmarks that her prede-
cessor, Ben Bernanke, used to try to guide
investors: That by a certain point in the
future or when unemployment reached a spe-
cic rate, the Fed would consider slowing its
stimulus for the economy.
In a speech this month, Yellen said the
Fed must respond to signicant unexpected
twists and turns the economy may take.
On Wednesday, when it ends a policy
meeting, the Fed will likely repeat that
theme and echo a point it made after Yellens
rst meeting as chair last month: That even
after the job market
strengthens and the Fed
starts raising rates, it
will likely keep rates
unusually low to support
a still-subpar economy.
Yellens message of
exibility may help con-
vey the Feds willingness
to respond to abrupt
shifts in the economy.
Yet it can also be tricky. It can leave
investors uncertain and fearful of a sudden
shift in the Feds approach to interest rates.
Financial markets hate uncertainty.
The Fed will be meeting in a week when
the government will issue a urry of reports
on the economy from manufacturing
growth and consumer spending to home
prices, consumer confidence, economic
expansion and job gains. Collectively,
they will help sketch a more detailed por-
trait of the economy.
And they are among the many indicators
Yellen has stressed the Fed must monitor to
fully assess the economys health and
decide when to start raising rates.
That message marks a shift from the
approach Bernanke took over the past ve
years as the Fed struggled to strengthen the
economy after the Great Recession. Under
his leadership, the Fed sought to be as pub-
licly specic as possible about its inten-
tions. And it did so by focusing primarily
on the unemployment rate.
In December 2012, for example, the Fed
said it intended to keep its benchmark
short-term rate near zero at least as long as
unemployment remained above 6.5 percent.
The idea was to signal roughly how long the
Fed was committed to keeping borrowing
rates at record lows to spur spending and
economic growth.
Yellen has said the unemployment rate,
now 6.7 percent, overstates the health of
the job market and economy and that the
Fed must assess a range of barometers. She
has expressed concern, for example, that a
high percentage of the unemployed 37
percent have been out of work for six
months or more and that pay is scarcely ris-
ing for people who do have jobs.
Some economists say Yellens decision to
shift away from the Bernanke Feds
approach of providing specic guideposts
for a future rate increase its forward guid-
ance carries risks.
The whole idea of forward guidance is to
project this air of clarity and condence,
and that is not happening, said David
Jones of DMJ Advisors. This is a time
when the markets need condence in the
Fed.
Fed likely to reiterate flexible policy on rates
Janet Yellen
By Michael Liedtke
SAN FRANCISCO At least a few
investors are rooting for San
Francisco 49er tight end Vernon Davis
to have a lucrative career.
An unusual stock tied to Davis earn-
ing potential gained $1, hitting the
$11 mark in its trading debut Monday.
Only 352 of the 421,100 shares sold
in the initial public offering by San
Francisco startup Fantex Inc. had trad-
ed as of late Monday afternoon.
The stocks 10 percent gain repre-
sents a vote of condence in Davis, an
eight-year veteran who has emerged as
one of the best tight ends in the
National Football League.
This marks the rst time a stock has
been linked to the performance of a
professional athlete, a risky concept
that highlights the confluence of
sports and business.
We think its historic, not just from
a sports perspective, but from a
nance perspective, too, Fantex CEO
Buck French said in an interview.
Skeptics ridicule the Davis tracking
stock as a ploy that preys upon the
passions of sports fans.
If you are a serious investor, you
cant be putting a lot of money in
this, said Ron Heller, a former NFL
tight end who now runs his own
investment firm, Peritus Asset
Management. You are probably not
going to get much money out of it,
unless you can sell it to someone
dumber than you.
Davis is prohibited from publicly
discussing his tracking stock until late
May.

SONNY DAY: GRAY THROWS FIRST CAREER SHUTOUT IN TEXAS >> PAGE 13

This is how stacked Carlmont softballs
lineup is this season.
On the heels of their eighth straight con-
ference win and 12th straight dating back
to last season the Scots have ve players
within two hits of the team lead. Sophomore
Kelsey Ching paces the squad with 26 hits,
while Rebecca Faulkner, Gabriella Pons and
Mariko Kondo each have 25.
Leadoff hitter Jacey Phipps thrust herself
into the picture last Thursday with the best
game of her varsity career. The sweet-
swinging lefty went 4 for 4 with two triples
in a 7-3 against Woodside to run her season
hits total to 24. And its because of the
sophomores outstanding performance
March 24 that she has been named the San
Mateo Daily Journal Athlete of the Week.
I think were really stacked, Phipps
said of the mighty Scots lineup currently
hitting for a .376 team batting average.
From one to nine we shouldnt see any
change in pitching because we can all hit
the ball well.
Phipps has started every game in the lead-
off spot this season save two, after moving
to the top of the lineup midway through her
freshman campaign last year. Amid a 2013
season in which she proved a triples
machine by pacing the Scots with five
three-baggers, Phipps started the year hit-
ting in the No. 8 spot. And thats where she
really got cooking.
When you hit eighth, you get a lot of
pitches to hit, Phipps said. So I started
doing fairly well. Then they decided to
move me up. They tried me in the leadoff
spot and I started performing as they
thought a leadoff hitter should perform.
Already having matched her 2013 total in
triples, Phipps is really powering the ball
this season. She only has one double because
she evidently refused to stop at second base

LOS ANGELES Justin Williams forced
the tiebreaking goal underneath Alex
Stalock with 8:04 to play, and the Los
Angeles Kings beat the San Jose Sharks 4-
1 on Monday night, rallying all the way
back from an 0-3 series deficit to force a
decisive Game 7.
Williams and Anze Kopitar each had two
goals and an assist, and Jonathan Quick
made 25 saves as the Kings became just the
ninth team in NHL history to force a sev-
enth game after losing the rst three.
We certainly didnt want to go away
quiet, Kopitar said.
Stalock stopped 26 shots in his rst NHL
playoff start, and James Sheppard scored for
the spiraling Sharks.
Just three teams in NHL history have ral-
lied from an 0-3 decit to win a series.
Los Angeles could join them in Game 7 in
San Jose on Wednesday. The winner of the
California rivals third playoff meeting in
four years will face the top-seeded Anaheim
Ducks in the second round.
Williams, a two-time Stanley Cup cham-
pion known for clutch playoff goals, also
scored in the rst period. He reached his
stick between Stalocks pads and knocked
home Robyn Regehrs shot for the go-ahead
score, breaking open a tense game.
Kopitar followed with two goals 1:15
apart for the Kings, who have outscored
San Jose 13-4 in the last three games after
San Jose dominated the first three by a
combined 17-8.
Sheppard scored on a double deection in
the second period, but after utterly dominat-
ing the rst two games, San Jose has scored
just one goal against Quick in the last
128:24 in the series.
Sharks coach Todd McLellan changed
starting goalies after Stanley Cup winner
Antti Niemi was pulled from each of the last
two losses. McLellan took a risk on
Stalock, whose NHL experience consists of
27 regular-season games and 57 minutes of
scoreless relief in this series.
Kings force Game 7

right wing Dustin Brown during the second period of the Kings 4-1 win.
F
inally. After nearly a month of
spring breaks between ve high
school districts and a plethora of
private schools, the Peninsula Athletic
League baseball schedule is back to nor-
mal.
And now it is literally a sprint to the
nish line. There are only two weeks left
in the regular season
and it appears both
the Bay and Ocean
divisions could con-
ceivably come down
to the nal game.
The Lake appears to
be a two-team race
between an undefeat-
ed South City squad
and San Mateo.
In the Bay
Division, Terra Nova
leads the pack with a 6-2 record, but there
are four other schools within two games
of the lead. Menlo-Atherton and
Carlmont are tied for second with 5-3
marks, while Sacred Heart Prep and
Menlo School both sport 4-4 records.
If any of those ve teams can get hot and
nish with four straight wins, it would go a
long way to determining the division
champion. The good news for PALbaseball
fans is, all ve of those teams will be fac-
ing the teams they are battling for the title.
Menlo-Atherton appears to have the
toughest draw coming down the stretch.
After facing last-place Burlingame
Wednesday, a team capable of beating
anyone and can get hot to spoil some-
ones chances, the Bears close the regular
season with games against Menlo School
Friday, Terra Nova May 7 and Sacred
Heart Prep May 9.
Carlmont is right behind as far as dif-
culty of schedule, with games against
SHP, Terra Nova and Menlo School,
before closing the season against Half
Moon Bay.

Aragon boys tennis team did precisely
what it was supposed to do with a 6-1 win
over Half Moon Bay in Mondays Peninsula
Athletic League playoff opener.
The Dons, playing out of the PAL Bay
Division, hosted the opening playoff round
against the Ocean Division champion
Cougars. And Aragon made quick work of its
b-league opponent, sweeping through all
seven matches in straight sets.
With the win, the Dons advance to
Tuesdays PAL championship match.
Aragon will host Carlmont at 4 p.m. after
the Scots downed Woodside Monday 5-2.
The rst domino to fall Monday was an
upset in No. 1 singles play, as Aragon sen-
ior Devon Hughes defeated Drew Davidson
6-1, 6-3. Davidson was considered a slight
favorite after earning a No. 3 seed in
Wednesdays PAL individual playoffs.
Hughes is seeded No. 6.
The two locked up with overpowering
ground strokes, according to Aragon head
coach Dave Owdom.
Thats the best Ive seen [Hughes] play,
Owdom said.
Half Moon Bays No. 2 single Gabe
Pizzolato scored the only individual match
win for the Cougars, downing Isaac Wang 6-
1, 6-2. Aragon No. 3 Jonathan Liu downed
Nick Lasher 6-1, 6-0. Aragon No. 4 Mathew
Fowler downed Steve Jacobson 6-0, 6-2.
The Dons swept doubles play, fronted by
No. 1 doubles Landers Ngirchemat and Alex
Ilyin. The second-team All-PAL tandem

ARLINGTON, Texas Sonny Gray threw a
three-hitter for his rst career complete game
and the Oakland Athletics beat Texas 4-0
Monday night in Rangers ace Yu Darvishs
shortest outing in the major leagues.
Gray (4-1) allowed only three singles
while striking out six. Texas got only one
runner to third base against the right-han-
der, who threw two wild pitches in the sixth
after Robinson Chirinos singled.
Darvish (1-1) was gone after 3 1-3
innings, pulled after walking No. 9 batter
Eric Sogard for the second time. Those were
the only two walks for the right-hander,
who allowed four runs and six hits while
throwing 83 pitches (45 strikes). Darvish is
winless his last nine home starts.
Josh Donaldson had a two-run single in the
third, and the As made it 4-0 an inning later
when Josh Reddick had an RBI triple before
coming home on Daric Bartons sacrice y.
Gray, in his 16th career start, threw 73 of
his 108 pitches for strikes.
Oakland and Texas entered tied for the AL
West lead and the leagues best record at 15-
10. The Rangers, shut out for the rst time
this season, had swept a three-game series
in Oakland last week.
Darvish made his 66th start for the
Rangers since signing with them from Japan
before the 2012 season. His shortest previ-
ous MLB outing had been four innings at
Seattle on May 21, 2012, and he had since
gone at least ve innings in 56 consecutive
starts. Darvish did have a start of only 1 1-3
innings in Japan eight years ago.
Darvish struck out four, but three of those
came in the rst ve batters of the game.
Gray walked Rangers
leadoff hitter Michael
Choice to get his night
started, but got out of the
first with a fielders
choice grounder and then
a 4-5-3 double play with
three Oakland infielders
shifted to right side
against Prince Fielder.
Choice grounded into
an inning-ending double play in the third
after the bottom two batters reached base.
The As are 7-1 in their nine games against
Darvish, who last week got a no-decision in
Oakland after going six innings and leaving
a 3-3 tie. The Rangers won that game 4-3.
After Donaldsons big hit, a bouncer
through the left side of the ineld out of the
reach of diving third baseman Adrian Beltre,
the As had the bases reloaded on a one-out
single by Brandon Moss.
Moss was thrown out retreating to rst on
a pitch that got away from catcher Chirinos,
though the runner was originally ruled safe
before Rangers manager Ron Washington
challenged and got the play overturned by
replay. When Moss slid back in, his foot
was against rst baseman Fielders foot
and not the base while being tagged.
Washington lost a challenge in the eighth
when thought Reddick was out on a pickoff
attempt diving back to rst with Barton bat-
ting. Reddick was called safe, and replay con-
rmed the call before Barton hit a deep yball.
Center elder Leonys Martin made a leap-
ing catch on the warning back and threw to
rst base. Reddick was initially called safe
by crew chief Jeff Nelson, who then initiat-
ed a replay and changed his call for an
inning-ending double play.
NOTES: As OF Yoenis Cespedes missed
his fourth game in a row (strained left ham-
string). Manager Bob Melvin is hopeful he
will be back in the starting lineup Tuesday.
Game 2 features a standout matchup of
left-handers.
Oaklands Scott Kazmir (3-0, 1.62 ERA)
pitches against Martin Perez (4-0, 1.42),

Gray skies Monday in Texas
Caada hosts
playoff today
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
By virtue of ve straight wins to close out the
regular season, Caada baseball secured a play-
off berth with a single-elimination play-in
game Tuesday.
Caada will host Los Medanos of the Bay
Valley league Tuesday at 2 p.m.
If we didnt win out were not playing
[Tuesday], Colts manager Tony Lucca said.
Obviously we were in a tight race.
The Colts (17-7 in Coast Pacic Conference,
24-12 overall) nished in second place in the
Coast Pacic, one game behind conference
champion Cabrillo. After missing the playoffs
last season, Caada now has an opportunity to
advance to best-of-three regional play opening
Friday.
Were excited for the opportunity, I guess,
Lucca said. I feel like we deserve a better seed-
ing but I respect the process and well settle
it on the eld.
Lucca describes the regular season as being a
crazy one for the Colts. They have shufed and
reshufed their ineld to nd a healthy and win-
ning combination. At the outset of the season,
Caada lost its regular shortstop when he quit
the team. Then his replacement Rico Caravalho
was lost for the year to a broken ankle.
Thats when the real carousel began.
After beginning the season as the Colts regu-
lar second baseman, sophomore Kyle Zirbes
originally replaced Caravalho. But Zirbes was
shufed to third base for a time with Dylan
Cook manning shortstop. In recent weeks
though, Cook shifted to the outeld with Zirbes
moving back to short.
Zirbes has been the Colts top hitter this sea-
son, batting a team-best .339 and has 26 stolen
bases in 28 chances.
And even with the pressure of an elimination
game Tuesday, Zirbes remains upbeat about the
chance to stay in the swing of things.
We dont have to a whole week off before
we get to play a game, Zirbes said. Were
right back in the thick of things.
Everybody stays fresh. We dont lose our
timing. Its almost like were still n the reg-
ular season. Its a Tuesday game. It keeps
our baseball minds fresh.

when running the bases, having totaled five triples and
two home runs thus far. She currently ranks second only
to slugging cleanup hitter Pons among Carlmont hitters
with a .672 slugging percentage.
Shes left-handed and she runs well, Carlmont head
coach Jim Liggett said of the reasons why Phipps bats
leadoff. She doesnt strike out, she makes contact and
shes got some pop in her bat.
Phipps could very well be leading the team in hits if not
for missing three games earlier this season with a concus-
sion. At the Live Oak Tournament March 8 against Gilroy,
Phipps took a fastball to the helmet.
I kind of just fell down, Phipps said. She was a fast pitch-
er and I didnt have time to react.
Even though Phipps remained in the game, she experi-
enced dizziness later that evening. Forty-eight hours
later, she was diagnosed with a concussion and did not
return to the lineup until March 20 for the Peninsula
Athletic League Bay Division opener at Hillsdale.
I was actually back for the start of league, Phipps
said. But I dont like sitting and watching my team
because I feel like I cant contribute.
Phipps immediately dispelled any worry of lingering
effects from being concussed by promptly contributing,
going 2 for 4 in a dramatic 3-1 win over the Knights.
Even though Phipps entered into the 2014 season
dreaming of someday playing for Cal, the sophomore
committed to San Jose State in February. Phipps said the
straight-forward coaching appealed to her.
Now the prolific leadoff hitter just needs to find her
missing socks. Phipps showed up for practice Monday
wearing a smiley-face sock on the left foot and a heart-
patterned sock on the right.
I dont have time to match my socks, Phipps said.
And so long as Phipps keeps racking up multi-hit
games, she shouldnt have to.

PHIPPS
TERRY BERNAL/DAILY JOURNAL
Carlmont sophomore Jacey Phipps has been locked in since
moving to the leadoff spot as a freshman.Last Thursday she went
4 for 4 against Woodside.
bye on the final day of the regular
season.
Unlike the Bay Division, the Ocean
uses home-and-home series, when
they play the same team twice in one
week. Going into Tuesdays games,
Sequoia, at 7-3, has a one-game lead
over both Aragon and Hillsdale, tied
for second place with 6-4 marks.
Capuchino and Kings Academy are
one game back in the loss column, but
have games in hand with 5-4 records.
At this point, Sequoia has to be the
favorite, although the Cherokees have
a pair of games against a scrappy
Kings Academy team and nish the
season against rival Woodside, which
would like nothing better than deny-
ing the Cherokees a division title.
Hillsdale apparently has the easi-
est draw, with a pair of games
against Woodside this week before
wrapping up the regular season with
two against Mills.
Aragon faces Mills in a pair of
games this week, while nishing
against Capuchino next week, which
faces El Camino in two games this
week.
In the Lake Division, South City
sits atop the table with a perfect 9-0
record, one game ahead of San Mateo
in the loss column, which sits at 7-1.
If the Warriors win three of their nal
four games, the worst they can do is
settle for a co-championship
assuming the Bearcats win out. South
City faces a struggling Harker team
Tuesday before facing San Mateo in a
showdown Thursday at Sea Cloud Park
in Foster City. Awin by the Warriors
there would all but clinch the crown.
***
While the nal two weeks of the
season will determine Central Coast
Section seeds for PAL teams, there is
one more week of games for the top
12 teams in the PAL: the inaugural
PAL baseball tournament.
All seven Bay Division teams quali-
fy for the tournament with the top
four receiving rst-round byes. The
top four from the Ocean and the Lake
Division champion are also included
and all will play single-elimination
games at the home of the high seed
beginning May 13, culminating with
the championship game at Half Moon
Bay Friday, May 16.
All games are 4 p.m. start times.
Coaches have been asking for it
the last couple of years, said PAL
commissioner Terry Stogner. I think
there will be a little more excitement
for [PAL] baseball.
Stogner said the tournament is not
only a way to determine who is really
the best team in the PAL, but also a
way to gure out how break up the
three divisions for the 2015 season.
The tournament will not have an
impact on the PALs CCS entries. The
PAL will have eight automatic berths
into CCS: the top ve from the Bay
Division, the top two from the Ocean
and the Lake Division champion.

lineup change, the Dons doubles pre-
vailed 2-1 in the rematch.
At Carlmont, the Scots No. 3 and No. 4
singles each won grueling matches to
swing the nal overall score in their
teams favor.
After Carlmont No. 3 single Jordan
Luke won the rst set 7-6, (8-6) over
Michael Mendelsohn, Luke dropped the
second set 5-7. It was at that point Luke
checked in with Scots head coach Amina
Halsey to see how the team was fairing
overall. Halsey told the sophomore it
was a close match, to which Luke
expressed some serious condence.
According to Halsey, Lukes response
was: OK coach, Ill get this one right here.
That he did, winning the decisive
tiebreaker (10-5).
Carlmont No. 4 single Camron Dennler
won in dramatic fashion as well, topping
Payton Newcomb 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 (7-5).
It was a very, very good set of match-
es, Halsey said. Our team is so good in
doubles but we needed to get some-
thing in singles somewhere, and they
really came through for the team.
The play of Luke and Dennler was piv-
otal, as Woodside knocked of Carlmonts
No. 1 and No. 2 singles. Woodside No. 1
Hal Tuttle downed Kevin Hutchaleelaha 6-
0, 6-4. Woodside No. 2 Jose Lopez
defeated Alex Yang 6-2, 6-1.
In doubles play, Carlmont No. 1 dou-
bles Ben Knoot and Sohun Awsare defeat-
ed Ty Newcomb and Alex Yuen 2-6, 6-1,
6-1. Carlmont No. 2 doubles Mitchell
Chang and Chris Hong defeated Seb Song
and Ethan Heywood 6-1, 6-2. Carlmont
No. 3 doubles Bobby Goldie and
Jonathan Li defeated Michael Orozco and
Nick Chiomas 6-2, 6-0.
TENNIS
Gerardo Castro, El Camino track
The senior, who burst on the scene last season, won twice at the Serra
Top 7 Invitational Saturday. Castro captured both the 800 and 1,600
races. He ran the two-lap 800 with a time of 1:55.91. In the four-lap
1,600, he crushed the eld. His time of 4:26.91 was nearly ve seconds
faster than the second-place nisher.
Ricky Grau, Sacred Heart Prep track.
The senior won both hurdles races at the Serra Top 7 Invitational
Saturday. He won the 100 high hurdles in a time of 16.34 and later
grabbed the 300 hurdles title, posting a time of 41.98.
Analisa Crowe, Menlo-Atherton track
The sophomore is on track to be a force this year and going forward.
She won the 800 in a time of 2:21.60 and nished second in the 1,600
with a time of 5:14.15 at the Serra Top 7 Invitational Saturday.
Sara Slavsky, Burlingame softball
The sophomore helped the Panthers to their rst Peninsula Athletic
League Bay Division win of the season as she held a potent Hillsdale side
to just one run on three hits in a 4-1 Burlingame win.
Matt Lopez, Sequoia baseball
The junior second baseman was a big reason the Cherokees swept the
season series from Mills last week. Lopez rapped out six hits in two games
against the Vikings, with a double and RBI in wins of 8-3 and 10-0.
Rory McDaid, Capuchino baseball
McDaid pitched a complete game, striking out nine Woodside batters
and held the Wildcats to just two hits in an 11-0 Capuchino win.
Christina Patton, Woodside softball
The senior pitcher put on a dominant display in a 6-1 win over Aragon.
Patton struck out 14 in a complete-game, two-hitter over the Dons.
Tyler Fuss, College of San Mateo baseball
Fuss held Chabot to just ve hits over eight-plus innings, making one run
stand for a 1-0 win over the Gladiators, snapping their 22-game winning streak.
SAN FRANCISCO Madison
Bumgarner became San Franciscos
most steady starter last season, and
now he is stumbling through the sea-
sons rst month.
The opening day pitcher has strug-
gled for run support, and dropped his
third straight outing in a 6-4 loss to
the San Diego Padres on Monday
night. The three-start skid is the left-
handers f rst time since late in
2012.
We had a good game plan going in
but I just wasnt able to make pitches
today, Bumgarner said. I left a lot of
balls over the middle or way off the
plate. Today was probably the worst I
had command wise. I felt like the other
ones, I was maybe trying to nibble
too much. Today I was trying to get
ahead and just wasnt able to do it.
Bumgarner (2-3) allowed a go-
ahead three-run homer to Rene Rivera
in the fth after Riveras earlier two-
run double as he nished with a career-
high ve RBIs, single handedly
backing Tyson Ross.
Bumgarner walked a season-high
four, and his four earned runs matched
his most of 2014. He didnt pitch into
the sixth for the third time in his six
starts and lost three straight outings
for the rst time since Aug. 25-Sept.
5, 2012.
The Giants had won seven straight
home games against the Padres start-
ed by the lefty.
I think its fair to say hes made a
few more mistakes than were accus-
tomed to, manager Bruce Bochy
said. Astrange night. We just could-
nt get it done.
Ross (3-3) did just enough over 5 1-
3 innings to beat the Giants for the
second time in 11 days, allowing
eight hits and four runs with four
strikeouts and two walks.
After Michael Morse put San
Francisco ahead on two-run single in
the fourth, Rivera answered with his
rst homer of the year. He hadnt driv-
en in a run all season before Monday,
and the ve RBIs were most by a
Padres player at 15-year-old AT&T
Park.
Brandon Hicks homered for the sec-
ond straight day, following his
walkoff a day earlier against
Cleveland with a leadoff shot in the
fth. Hunter Pence hit an RBI triple in
the fourth.
First base umpire Angel Hernandez
had two calls overturned by replay.
Bochy came out in the third to
request a review after Hernandez called
Xavier Nady safe on a close play at
rst. The umpiring crew overturned
the call in 1 minute, 31 seconds.
Hernandez was involved in another
overturn in the fourth when Padres
manager Bud Black requested a
review. Ross was ruled thrown out by
third baseman Pablo Sandoval. In
1:18, the call was overturned and
Sandoval was charged with an error.
Ross, born in Berkeley and raised
in Oakland, faced the minimum
through three helped by double
plays in the rst and second then two
strikeouts in the third.
Bumgarner bested by Ross
Honor Roll
Wild 5, Avalanche 2
Zach Parise scored early and late on tipped shots, and the
Wild tacked on two empty-net goals for a victory that sent
their rst-round playoff series to a decisive Game 7.
Parise and Mikko Koivu each had two assists. The teams
will meet again in Denver on Wednesday night, with the
winner taking on the defending Stanley Cup champion
Chicago Blackhawks in the Western Conference seminals.
Penguins 4, Blue Jackets 3
Evgeni Malkin had a hat trick and the Penguins almost blew
a four-goal lead before holding on for the clinching victory in
Game 6 of their rst-round playoff series.
The Blue Jackets scored three times in a 4:52 span in the
third period to turn up the pressure on the Penguins.
Pittsburgh awaits the winner of the New York-
Philadelphia series, with the Rangers leading 3-2 going
into Tuesday nights Game 6.
NHL playoffs
Drew Doughty had two assists for
Los Angeles, which lost the rst
three games of the series in dis-
couraging fashion before rallying
with resounding victories at home
in Game 4 and at the Shark Tank in
Game 5 last Saturday night.
Doughty set up the Kings rst
goal with a sharp pass to
Williams, who has four goals in
the Kings last two home games.
San Jose got a 5-on-3 advantage
for 1:38 early in the second period,
but the Kings killed it off to the
delirious cheers of their home fans.
The Sharks nally tied it moments
after a third fruitless power play
when Sheppard deflected Justin
Brauns slap shot out of mid-air
and off Regehr.
After Williams go-ahead score,
Kopitar got loose on a 2-on-1 rush
with Williams, who set him up per-
fectly. Kopitar added a power-play
goal, and the final minutes
devolved into several wild scrums
after the whistle.
Just three teams have accom-
plished the Kings potential feat,
but the Philadelphia Flyers rallied
from three games down to beat
Boston in 2010 with a roster
including current Kings forwards
Jeff Carter and Mike Richards.
The Sharks played without key
defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic,
who left Game 5 early with an
upper-body injury. The Canadian
Olympic gold medalist was
replaced by Matt Irwin, while
streaky forward Marty Havlat also
was in San Joses lineup for the
rst time in the series, replacing
Mike Brown.
NOTES: The Sharks hadnt
changed their starting goalie dur-
ing the playoffs since 2001, when
Miikka Kiprusoff took over for
Evgeni Nabokov during a series.
... Vlasic had played in all 84 pos-
sible playoff games since joining
the Sharks for the 2006-07 season.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. Researcher
Leonid Moroz emerges from a dive off the
Florida Keys and gleefully displays a plastic
bag holding a creature that shimmers like an
opal in the seawater.
This translucent animal and its similarly
strange cousins are food for science. They
regrow with amazing speed if they get
chopped up. Some even regenerate a rudi-
mentary brain.
Meet the aliens of the sea, the neurobi-
ologist at the University of Florida says
with a huge grin.
Theyre headed for his unique oating lab-
oratory.
Moroz is on a quest to decode the genom-
ic blueprints of fragile marine life, like
these mysterious comb jellies, in real time
on board the ship where they were caught
so he can learn which genes switch on
and off as the animals perform such tasks as
regeneration.
No white coats needed here. The lab is a
specially retrotted steel shipping contain-
er, able to be lifted by crane onto any ship
Moroz can recruit for a scientic adventure.
Inside, researchers in ip-ops operate a
state-of-the-art genomic sequencing
machine secured to a tilting tabletop that
bobs with rough waves. Genetic data is
beamed via satellite to a supercomputer at
the University of Florida, which analyzes
the results in a few hours and sends it back to
the boat.
The work is part conservation.
Life came from the oceans, Moroz says,
bemoaning the extinction of species before
scientists even catalog all of them. We
need a Manhattan Project for biodiversity.
Were losing our heritage.
Surprising as it may sound, its part brain
science.
We cannot regenerate our brain, our
spinal cord or efciently heal wounds with-
out scars, Moroz notes.
But some simple sea creatures can.
Moroz accidentally cuts off part of a comb
jellys owing lower lobe while putting it

into a tank. Afew hours later, the wound no
longer is visible. By the next afternoon,
that lobe had begun to regrow.
Whats more remarkable, these gelatinous
animals have neurons, or nerve cells, con-
nected in circuitry that Moroz describes as
an elementary brain. Injure those neural net-
works and some, but not all, species of
comb jellies can regenerate them, too, in
three days to ve days, he says, if theyre in
a habitat where they can survive long
enough.
Nature has found solutions to how to
stay healthy, says Moroz, who also studies
human brains when hes back on shore. We
need to learn how they do it. But they are so
fragile, we have to do it here, at sea.
Two trial-run sails off the Florida coast
showed that the shipboard lab can work.
Morozs team generated information about
thousands of genes in 22 organisms, includ-
ing some rare comb jellies. Morozs ulti-
mate goal is to take the project around the
world, to remote seas where its especially
hard to preserve marine animals for study.
If the sea cant come to the lab, the lab
must come to the sea, says Moroz, who
invited the Associated Press on the second
test trip, a 2 1/2-day sail.

Flying sh zip alongside the 141-foot
yacht Copasetic as it bounces across the
giant ocean current known as the Gulf
Stream. Inside the lab, a $50,000 genetic
sequencer donated by Life Technologies is
rocking on its special tabletop.
Molecular biologist Andrea Kohn wedges
her hip against cabinets to stay upright,
prepping the machine for the days rst run.
With a pipette in hand, she carefully drips
precious samples from a comb jelly experi-
ment onto a chip the size of a digital cam-
eras memory card.
Graduate student Rachel Sanford had given
a series of these animals a cut, and then
biopsied the healing tissue 30 minutes, an
hour and two hours later. Shes trying to
tease out what genetic activity spurs the
steps of healing.
She studies the comb jellies rudimentary
brains in much the same way.
I work on these things that are kind of
like jellysh, but theyre not jellysh at
all. And I take out their brain. And then it
grows back. And then I try to gure out how
it grows back, is Sanfords simplified
explanation.
Shes looking for master regulators, key
molecules that control that regrowth. If she
can nd some, a logical next step would be
to investigate whether people harbor any-
thing similar that might point to pathways
important in spinal cord or brain injuries.
A clue, Moroz says, probably will be
found in the differences between comb jelly
species. Why does one regenerate, and
another not? That is the million-dollar ques-
tion.
Evolution shows there is more than one
design for how to make a cell, how to make
a brain, he adds.
The oating lab was born of frustration,
Kohn says as she keeps close watch on the
sequencing.
While theres been an earlier attempt at
less complex DNAngerprinting at sea, tra-
ditionally marine scientists collect ani-
mals, freeze samples and ship them home
for genetic research.
But often, Moroz had shipments lost in
transit or held up at U.S. Customs, thawed
and ruined. Plus, some creatures genetic
material begins breaking down almost
immediately after theyre caught.
When I think of all the animals weve
lost through years and years, Kohn says,
shaking her head. To completely map the
genome of a single comb jelly species, it
took us a year to get DNA that wasnt
degraded.
Researchers usually collect extra animals
as insurance. But the supercomputers rapid
feedback means with Morozs new project,
theres a lot more preservation, says
University of Washington biology profes-
sor Billie Swalla, who is watching it with
interest. If you have unused animals, you
can return them.
The pieces for the oating lab fell into
place last fall after The International
SeaKeepers Society introduced Moroz to
University of Florida alumnus Steven
Sablotsky, who was willing to lend his boat
for the trial runs. Then, the Copasetics cap-
tain noted that the main deck could t a
shipping container like freighters use to
transport goods.
The nonprofit Florida Biodiversity
Institute found one for sale, welded in win-
dows and installed lab xtures, and the team

and a CSU transfer program. Initially, edu-
cational tracks will be offered in the follow-
ing areas: lodging/resort management;
meeting and event management; food and
beverage/restaurant management; and hos-
pitality and tourism management. The pro-
gram will begin with five classes this
August including introduction to hospitali-
ty and tourism management; excellence in
guest service; introduction to meeting,
event and conference management; and
hotel and resort management.
Skyline College was interested in secur-
ing this grant in order to be a leader in the
growing tourism industry which directly
feeds the economy of the region, said
Sarah F. Perkins, vice president of
Instruction at Skyline College in a state-
ment.
With a proposed hotel expansion at San
Francisco International Airport, the new
Levis Stadium in Santa Clara for the San
Francisco 49ers and a proposed entertain-
ment center near Levis Stadium by former
49er Joe Montana, the timing for a program
is perfect, said Vizenor.
Its a really exciting time today, she
said. The timing is really ideal for the pro-
gram. In San Mateo County, theres no pro-
grams at the college level [for hospitality
management].
Tourism generated $106.4 billion in
spending in California in 2012, an increase
of 4.5 percent over 2011. During 2012,
travel spending in California directly sup-
ported 917,000 jobs, up 2.8 percent from
2011, while earnings increase 4.9 percent
to $32.3 billion, according to the Visit
California website.
Its a really exciting time for the indus-
try, she said. There are a lot of unique
employment opportunities coming our way.
At tech companies, there are many food
services operations as well.
Anne LeClair, president and CEO of the
San Mateo County/Silicon Valley
Convention and Visitors Bureau, recom-
mended Vizenor for the position. LeClair
said she had the pleasure of seeing Vizenor
in action while she was training 60 high
school students per semester. Vizenor was
outstanding at training and placing her stu-
dents, LeClair said.
I knew she already had relationships
with numerous hotels in the area, so it was
clear that they would trust her and would get
involved in her new effort at Skyline,
LeClair wrote in an email. She has tremen-
dous enthusiasm for what she does, thinks
out of the box and always says, Lets do it,
rather than Can we do it? She is excellent
at communicating with students and hospi-
tality professionals.
Meanwhile, Vizenor is excited for the
opportunity.
The thing thats most exciting is the
timing is impeccable. It provides amazing
career opportunity for students, Vizenor
said. There is a plethora of opportunity
once you get in the industry. Youre really
the driver of your success and its nice to be
able to share that with people.
Additionally, Vizenor is working on a
regional level to partner with industry
heads, make sure community college pro-
grams are preparing students to meet the
needs of the sector, organize professional
development opportunities for community
college faculty and high school teachers,
facilitate activities with K-12 to build
awareness, align programs and strengthen
career pathway options for students and cre-
ate opportunities for individuals to learn
about career opportunities in the sector.
As the Skyline program continues to
grow, additional stackable credentials and
certicates will be offered in international
tourism; and sustainability in food service
and hospitality marketing.
The school is still currently hiring teach-
ers for the program, but enrollment is now
open for classes in the program.

The 2013 graduate rate measures students

ated with their class, Torlakson said.
Of the students who did not graduate with
their class, 7.5 percent are still enrolled in
school, 0.2 percent passed the GED test and
0.5 percent are non-diploma special educa-
tion students, Torlakson said.
The rest 11.6 percent are dropouts,
Torklakson said. The dropout rate is down
1.5 percentage points from the previous

The graduation rates for black and

dents was 67.9 percent, up 1.9 percentage

By Boubacar Diallo
and Sarah DiLorenzo
CONAKRY, Guinea The doc-
tor has beaten the odds and sur-
vived Ebola, but he still has one
more problem: The stigma carried
by the deadly disease.
Even though he is completely
healthy, people are afraid to come
near him or to have anything to
do with him.
For example, the man was sup-
posed to give an interview on
Guinean radio to describe his tri-
umphant tale. But the station
would not allow him into the stu-
dio.
Wed prefer he speak by phone
from downstairs, the stations
director told a representative of
Doctors Without Borders, while
the survivor waited outside in a
car. I cant take the risk of let-
ting him enter our studio.
The Ebola outbreak in West
Africa has claimed more than 145
lives so far. More than 240 peo-
ple, mostly in Guinea, are sus-
pected of having caught the ill-
ness, which causes horrific suf-
fering, including bursting blood
vessels and bleeding from ears
and other orifices. There is no
vaccine, no treatment and the dis-
ease is almost always fatal.
But a handful of the infected do
survive. About 30 patients have
survived in Guinea so far, accord-
ing to Doctors Without Borders.
Liberia has not recorded any cases
of survival.
Unfortunately for the lucky
few, the stink of stigma lingers
long after the virus has been
purged from their bodies.
Thanks be to God, I am cured.
But now I have a new disease: the
stigmatization that I am a victim
of, said the Guinean doctor, who
spoke to the Associated Press but
refused to give his name for fear
of further problems the publicity
would cause him and his family.
This disease (the stigma) is
worse than the fever.
Several other people who sur-
vived the disease refused to tell
their stories when contacted by
the AP, either directly or through
Doctors Without Borders.
Sam Taylor, the Doctors
Without Borders spokesman who
had taken the doctor to the radio
station, confirmed that the man
had been infected and survived.
The doctor believes he caught
Ebola while caring for a friend
and colleague who died in
Conakry, Guineas capital. At the
time, he said, he did not know
that his friend had Ebola.
Shortly after his friends death,
the doctor got a headache and
came down with an intractable
fever. And then the vomiting and
diarrhea began.
I should have died, the doctor
said, but he responded to care,
which includes intensive hydra-
tion, and unlike most other Ebola
patients, he lived.
Surviving Ebola is a matter of
staying alive long enough to
have the chance to develop
enough antibodies to fight off the
virus, said David Heymann, a pro-
fessor of infectious disease epi-
demiology at the London School
of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.
Thats because its typically the
symptoms of Ebola severe
fever, hemorrhaging, dehydra-
tion, respiratory problems
that kills a patient.
Even though he has been
cleared of Ebola, the doctor says
that people avoid him.
Now, everywhere in my neigh-
borhood, all the looks bore into
me like Im the plague, he said.
People leave places when he
shows up. No one will shake his
hand or eat with him. His own
brothers are accusing him of put-
ting their family in danger.
Stigma often accompanies the
spread of deadly, poorly under-
stood diseases, said Meredith
Stakem, a health and nutrition
adviser for Catholic Relief
Services in West Africa, noting
that the terrified reaction to
Ebola recalls the early days of the
HIV epidemic.
Ebola may incite an even more
severe reaction because health
workers responding to it wear
head-to-toe protective gear that
look like space suits, Stakem
noted.
In this outbreak, the homes of
some of the infected in Liberia
have been attacked and Doctors
Without Borders briefly aban-
doned a clinic in Guinea that was
targeted.
The families of those who die
from Ebola face similar prob-
lems.
Aziz Soumah, who lives in a
suburb of the Guinean capital of
Conakry, said his family was
forced to move after his brother
died, apparently from Ebola.
I went to pray at the mosque.
As soon as I entered, all the wor-
shippers left the mosque,
recounted Soumah, a 30-year-old
engineer. I was alone. No one
around me.
International health organiza-
tions are doing extensive commu-
nity outreach to explain how the
disease is transmitted only
through direct contact with the
bodily fluids of symptomatic
people and to explain that
those cured are no longer conta-
gious.
The most powerful tool to com-
bat stigma is the way health care
workers treat a discharged
patient, said Corinne Benazech,
the representative in Guinea for
Doctors Without Borders in
Guinea.
The patient never leaves
alone, she said of when Ebola
survivors leave their isolation
wards, and health care workers
individually shake hands with the
survivor.
Discharged patients receive a
certificate from the minister of
health that states they are no
longer contagious, said Tom
Fletcher, an infectious disease
physician with the World Health
Organization who is working in
Guinea. However, the virus may
linger in a male patients semen,
so men are given a three-month
supply of condoms, he added.
The Guinean doctor was treated
for about a week before he was
declared cured. Fletcher said thats
typical for the miraculous few:
These people should be celebrat-
ed, really, as opposed to stigma-
tized.

staff report.
Councilman Rick Kowalczyk said
the city wants to change the discourse
and respond to community concerns,
yet safety and feasibility will be the
ultimate test.
I think the council is really reach-
ing out and I think were illustrating
that we are working hard to represent
the community and this is an example
of that. ... Weve heard the voices of
the community and we want to make
sure were acting in a way that reects
their input, Kowalczyk said.
Previously our engineers told us
that we could not bring the bridge up to
federal safety standards with the cur-
rent structure, so based on that we
voted to replace it. I think if there
was not so much controversy in the
community we would have relied on
their opinion. But given so much
vocal concern, our citizens deserve us
to be thorough. So were going to be
thorough.
The controversy over the bridge
flared when the council approved
replacing it last September citing safe-
ty concerns while a group of activists
tout long-standing historical signi-
cance. The debate has led to two ballot
measures in June and one slated for
November. Both the Measure E, Main
Street Bridge Safety and Accessibility
Act and Measure F, Main Street
Bridge Preservation Act will be on the
June ballot while a citizen-initiated
ballot measure similar to the Main
Street Bridge Preservation Act will
likely be voted on in November.
David Eblovi, a Half Moon Bay resi-
dent who is a strong proponent of pre-
serving the bridge, said its been his-
torically signicant since the 1980s
and he had it placed on the National
Register of Historic Places April 7.
The bridge is historic because of its
history. Its 114 years old, it used
innovative construction techniques, it
allowed Half Moon Bay to develop the
way it did, there was no way for any-
thing with wheels to get into town
from the north, Eblovi said.
Eblovi said regardless of what the
tests show, there are architectural
designs that could rehabilitate the
bridge no matter how decomposed the
structure might be.
Main Street merchant Dave Cresson
agrees the bridge is historically sig-
nicant but feels a small victory has
been won in the city nally issuing the
testing hes been asking for since the
beginning.
Although its aesthetics seem ordi-
nary, its architecturally significant
because it was one of the rst to use
concrete reinforced with steel, Cresson
said. It was over engineered for its time
as its able to withstand huge tractor-
trailers when it simply paved way for
horses in the 1900s. It has also with-
stood two earthquakes, Cresson said.
Cresson said he hopes the councils
move to have the bridge thoroughly
tested will lighten the load between
the city and those concerned about the
bridges history.
Although the City Council has a
legal obligation to prove the bridge
cant be salvaged before its made safe,
he hopes it may also be having a
change of heart, Cresson said.
Funding has been of particular con-
cern and debate throughout the process
but Cresson said the city could apply
for federal grants that fund work on
historic structures.
The ballot measures will proceed,
although Cresson said hed want to
wait and see what the tests determine
before voting.
City staff will prepare to announce a
request for proposals to provide the
council with options for hiring an
independent contractor, Mayor John
Mueller said.
Mueller said he hopes the test will
help the city and residents get back on
the same page, but still fears the citi-
zens initiative and Measure F will pre-
vent the council from performing its
duties.
The ballot initiative has to go for-
ward because we need the community
support to say we want to look at a
good, safe, dependable bridge,
Mueller said. The council, the elected
ofcials, are put in a position to make
tough decisions to do whats best not
only for us, but for our visitors and our
families.

BRIDGE
Jao started talking about the idea last
summer with her co-founder Mike
Khaw, who she worked with at
Goldman Sachs. Khaw, a father of two,
saw challenges in trying to nd activi-
ties for his kids. Now, they have more
than 1,000 listings in San Mateo,
Belmont, San Carlos and Redwood
City.
People rely heavily on neighbors
and friends for programs, Jao said.
But its not really a tried-and-true
solution.
The two talked to a lot of parents
about issues parents have with nding
the right programs for their children.
Its a two-pronged problem for all
parents, she said. Its hard to nd
whats available in area. There are a lot
of options, but its hard to choose.
These are our children. Theyre our
future, so quality is important to par-
ents. Parents are the real experts.
Both Khaw and Jao have extensive
technology backgrounds and both
have worked in Silicon Valley. Jao
received her MBA from Stanford
University, while Khaw received a
masters degree in electrical engineer-
ing from Cambridge University.
This is my rst startup on my own,
Jao said. There are challenges. I have
worked for a startup as early as being
the sixth employee or so. Its really
tough when you have such a small team
to get everything you want to get done
done.
Apassion for the sites goals is what
attracted Jao to the project though.
As we started to get a little bit
older, we were at a stage where we
wanted to do something that was more
fullling that would truly help people
like us, she said. We realized this is
such a huge need for parents. We
were shocked to nd out people still do
this manually. Its a really painful
process for parents.
Once Jao and her husband have kids,
she will be so happy because she will
already have this to nd activities, she
said.
Its going very quickly just by word
of mouth, she said.
For now, the startup is sticking to
four cities, one of which is San Carlos,
where the business is based out of now.
We decided to make sure we did a
great job in the rst few cities we
launched in, she said. We launched in
our own area, but are working on an
expansion. Were still going to be Bay
Area targeted.
For now, the company remains boot-
strapped as well.
Were considering seeking funding,
but were really just focused on
addressing all the needs of the commu-
nity rst. As we start to scale larger, we
will consider our options.
