County officials are optimistic
that proposed limits on Cow Palace
gun shows will push through the
Legislature and say, after years of
unsuccessful attempts at prohibi-
tion, the answer may lie with a less
restrictive solution.
The bill by Sen. Mark Leno, D-
San Francisco, passed the Senate
Public Safety Committee on
Tuesday along with several other
gun control measures. But while
many of the others are outright
bans, the Leno bill requires
approval of the Board of
Supervisors in both San Mateo and
San Francisco counties for
weapons-related events at the Daly
City facility.
San Mateo County Supervisor
Adrienne Tissier, whose district
includes Daly City, admits shed
like to see an absolute ban but that
the by-event approval is the best
way to accomplish the goal of regu-
lation.
I think with a full ban the other
side comes out swinging pretty
hard. This way, if somebody wants
to tell us why they think their par-
ticular event is the right thing, they
can, Tissier said.
A gun show ban has long been
sought for the event center on
Geneva Avenue but efforts are often
stymied because the state, rather
than a specic county, owns it. The
state Department of Agricultures
Division of Fairs and Expositions
runs the Cow Palace which strad-
dles both San Mateo and San
Francisco counties.
Tissier said the greater willing-
ness currently of legislators to con-
sider gun control makes her opti-
mistic about Lenos bill. Tissier said
she is not opposed to personal gun
ownership but thinks gun shows are
not something to promote, particu-
larly when the same regions are
encouraging residents to attend gun
buybacks.
Don Horsley, president of the San
Mateo County Board of Supervisors
and the former county sheriff, is in
full support of the legislation and
would like to see more local control
over the Cow Palace particularly
with gun shows and other events
such as raves, which have had some

Two county supervisors say there
is rhyme and reason for San Mateo
County to name an honorary poet
laureate who will elevate the literary
genre for residents, advocate the arts
and contribute to literacy.
Poetry kind of gets a back seat,
said Supervisor Carole Groom who
climbed on board with the idea at
the request of Supervisor Warren
Slocum. Yes, we do have serious
issues like health and the criminal
justice system but its important res-
idents take time for themselves and
Supervisors find
rhyme and reason
for poet laureate

At the next Coastside Fire
Protection District board meeting,
three familiar faces will be replaced
by three new faces after the April 9
recall election that had a nearly 46
percent turnout.
Gone will be Mike Alifano, Doug
Mackintosh and Gary Riddell.
In their place will be Karen
Anderson, J.B. Cockrell and Harvey
Rarback.
The three ousted members were
recalled for their effort to re-estab-
lish a stand-alone re department on
the coast after deciding that Cal
Fire, the California Department of
Forestry and Fire Protection, was
not meeting the
demands of its
contract after a
five-year rela-
tionship.
The ve-mem-
ber board will
now be filled
with all Cal Fire
supporters after
a lengthy signa-
t ure-gat heri ng
effort last year that led to the recall.
Alifano, however, told the Daily
Journal he will run for a board seat
again this November.
Mackintosh, however, said he will
not.

Rushdie relives magic
of Midnights Children
NEW YORK Thanks to the print-
ed word and the moving image, Salman
Rushdie has recaptured the worst part of
his life and relived one of the best.
Last fall, the 65-year-old author pub-
lished the best-selling memoir Joseph
Anton about his years in hiding that
followed the 1988 pub-
lication of The Satanic
Verses and the call for
his death by Irans
Ayatollah Ruhollah
Khomeini. Rushdie is
now promoting the lm
adaptation of his break-
through novel,
Midnights Children,
winner of the Booker Prize
in 1981 and one of the
most highly praised works
of ction of its time.
It was cathartic to write
Joseph Anton, Rushdie
explained during a recent
interview, wearing a gray
suit and no tie, sipping coffee
at a hotel rooftop garden in midtown
Manhattan. And Midnights Children
was the book where I really became a
writer.
Much of the world only learned about
Rushdie after Satanic Verses, which
was condemned by the Ayatollah and
others as blasphemous and made him an
author far more talked about than read.
Forced to live under an assumed name,
Joseph Anton, he felt as if he had lost
control of his own lifes narrative. In his
memoir, he turns himself into a kind of
literary character, referring to himself in
the third person, and uses narrative to
get his own back.
Now that time belongs to me, he
said. Its not just something that hap-
pened to me.
In the literary communi-
ty, Rushdies had long
been an honored name
because of Midnights
Children. More than 500
pages, its a multi-lay-
ered narrative about
Saleem Sinai, a child
born at the very moment
of Indias independence
from Britain, and his
terrifying, exhilarating
and fantastic adven-
tures that join his story
to the story of his
country. Widely
regarded as a land-
mark of neo-colonial
ction, the novel fol-
lows Saleem through Indias inde-
pendence and internal conict, war with
Pakistan and the 1970s State of
Emergency declared by then-Prime
Minister Indira Gandhi. It is a journey
with a beginning, middle and end, but
also one with countless detours and spe-
cial effects, from powers of mind-read-
ing to a nose with the most profound
sense of smell.
Midnights Children was a coming-
of-age story for Saleem, and for
Rushdie. Born in India, he had spent
much of his 20s working in advertising
in London and writing ction he came to
regard as unbearable amounts of
garbage. His rst book, Grimus, was
a fantasy novel that came out in 1975
and was quickly forgotten (Rushdie has
long preferred it remain so). Rushdie
then thought he might try a novel about
childhood. The author had been born
eight weeks after Indias independence
and he soon realized the genius of mak-
ing his character arrive at the moment
itself. He stumbled around at rst, try-
ing to write in the third person, when he
decided to let Saleem speak for himself,
I was shocked. This was a kind of
voice I had not heard before, said
Rushdie, who now lives in New York. I
thought, Whats this? It was a very gar-
rulous voice and I decided to just run
with it. I found his voice and through his
voice found mine.
Until now, none of Rushdies books
had been made into movies and
Midnights Children seemed an
unlikely candidate to go rst. When
Rushdie rst met with director Deepa
Mehta, they were supposed to discuss a
more recent novel, Shalimar the
Clown. But Mehta, whose lms include
the Oscar-nominated Water, also
asked about the rights to Midnights
Children. Rushdie, surprised by her
interest, agreed.
It was instinct, he said. It was clear
from talking to her how much the book
meant to her.

T
he early 1900s were a time of great
experiments and proposed expansion
of trade to and from San Francisco.
The San Francisco and San Jose Railroad
had been built in the early 1860s to connect
those two cities with trade and transportation.
Thats where the population was concentrated
on the Peninsula at that time. That left the
coastal communities (which were mainly Half
Moon Bay and Santa Cruz) without a rail sys-
tem on which to move their produce. The
stagecoaches from San Mateo and Redwood
City were limited to light freight movement to
these communities, and marketing fresh veg-
etables from the coast was almost impossible.
In early 1900, the climate for construction
of a railroad along the coast from San
Francisco to Santa Cruz seemed right, and
investors backed a project to build a two-line
track. This was called the Ocean Shore
Railway (later changed to Railroad). It had its
main station at 12th and Mission streets with
railroad yards at Army, Kansas and San Bruno
streets. Grading was begun in 1905, followed
Islais Creek (now under the Alemany
Highway) south-west, then south to Junipero
Serra Boulevard in Colma (Daly City now).
From Junipero Serra it headed west through
the Westlake area to the coast. Along the
coast, the construction became quite difcult
due to the cliffs and unstable ground. On April
17, 1906, disaster struck in the form of an 8.1
earthquake. Four-thousand feet of rails, along
with engines, railroad cars and construction
equipment, ended up in the ocean. It was a big
loss for the Ocean Shore Railway and it was
two years before this section of the coast rails
was rebuilt. Investors pulled their funding out
of the project, but the railroad continued lay-
ing track with the money available. The pro-
posed two-track project was cut back to only
one track, and the proposed electric train was
scrapped. Coal-burning engines replaced the
electric train.
After the initial construction of the railroad
began, real estate developers began marketing
the pristine coastside as a place to live and
play. They could hear a real estate boom if
anyone could. Free train excursions were
planned by land companies. They advertised
land free from taxes and saloons, land anyone
could buy with only $10 down for a 25-by-50-
foot parcel. Laguna Salada and its beach area
(Sharp Park Golf Course) were advertised as
having a beautiful, balmy climate only 25
minutes from San Francisco. They promised
casinos, cafes, hotels, a promenade as well as
bandstands to cater to the big city crowd (It
never happened).
The tracks in the valleys (in Pacica) were
rapidly laid, but Montara Mountain presented
a formidable problem. It was impossible to lay

MILLBRAE Our
countrys economic
roller-coaster ride
has been interesting
and historic for
sure, but also very
troubling for many
families whove not
been as financially stable as others.
Recently though Ive been observing a
phenomenon with those we serve at the
CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS. It may
be too early to confirm, but it appears that
there is a general state of confidence with
many families, along with the decisions and
choices they make during funeral
arrangements. Yes, I know you are thinking
that confidence is not a term you would
use to coincide with funeral arrangements,
but it appears to me that people I see are
tending to be more financially assured than
during the deepest years of The Great
Recession.
They say that the two things you cant
avoid are death and taxes. With that in
mind, during the economic downturn I saw a
very noticeable sense of thrift and
prudence with a lot of families who
experienced a death during that period.
Still, those who tended to cost shop at
various funeral homes selected CHAPEL
OF THE HIGHLANDS to handle funeral or
cremation arrangements. These families
found comfort with our service, and notably
with our more economic cost structure.
Now, lately the trend with families and
their funeral choices reminds me of the days
way before the recession hit. Its not that
people are utilizing their funds differently,
spending more or spending less, but that
they are more assertive and confident when
using their wallet. Seeing this over and over
gives me a good indication that something in
the economic climate is changing compared
to not that long ago.
Even though many of our honorable
elected officials in Sacramento and
Washington D.C. appear to be as inflexible
with economic issues as always, the air of
confidence with the families Ive been
dealing with means to me that these people
are feeling less pressured financially.
It is well known that when businesses do
well they hire more employees, and when
those employees are confident they will
spend their money on goods and services.
In turn, the companies that provide goods
and services will need competent employees
to create more goods, give more services,
and so onmaking a positive circle for a
healthy economy. In relation to that, after a
long period of U.S. manufacturing jobs
being sent over-seas there is news of a
growing number of companies bringing this
work back to the United States. Real Estate
values on the Peninsula remained in a good
state during the recession, but houses here
are now in demand more than ever.
Encouraging Hopeful and Positive
are words to describe the optimistic
vibrations that people are giving off. If the
community is becoming more comfortable
with spending, that indicates good health for
business and the enrichment of our
economic atmosphere. I hope Im right, so
lets all keep our fingers crossed.
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

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Furniture in the front, clothes in
the middle and books in the back,
the Pick of the Litter resale shop is a
draw for anyone from hipsters to
soccer moms. But its main attrac-
tion is often found at the front
counter.
That is the domain of Velma
Santana, 85, who has worked at the
Burlingame shop since March 1999.
The one who sees all, knows all,
keeps us in line and has a story,
said customer Diane Johnson.
Last year, the second-hand store
right off Broadway on Chula Vista
Avenue surpassed $400,000 in sales
and a large part of that is due to
Santana and her steadfast devotion
to the store and its mission of send-
ing its profits to the Peninsula
Humane Society.
After retiring from Caltrans,
Santana was asked by one of her
closest friends to be a volunteer
cashier. Five months later, she was
hired because she said they needed
someone reliable and knowledge-
able to work the register. She just
celebrated her 85th birthday and
shows no signs of slowing down.
The store is like my second
home, she said.
Pick of the Litter collects dona-
tions such as clothing, furniture,
books, jewelry and households
items. Those items are then priced
for sale. After rent and other expens-
es, the store has cleared more than
$120,000 in net profits, which will
greatly benefit the animals, said
PHS spokesman Scott Delucchi.
Assistant Manager John Gjersoe
said Santana has an, extremely
reliable, dedicated and resourceful
demeanor that is irreplaceable.
Shes more like a mom, grand-
ma or friend to our loyal customers
which is the best compliment
someone can receive, Gjersoe
said.
In her time at the store, Santana
said she is lucky to be surrounded
with a great staff and loyal cus-
tomers. People from all walks of
life have come flocking to the store
in search of her.
I match people with what they
are looking for, because everyone
has a niche, she said.
Her niche is to live and work 110

She laughs jovially as she admits
it has gotten her in trouble at times.
When she is not speaking her mind,

Delucchi and staff said its an
honor to have someone of

Fire crews rescue hiker
North County Fire Authority
crews were able to save a hiker who
fell about 15 feet down from the
side of a cliff in Pacica Saturday,
re ofcials said.
Crews responded to a report of a
distressed hiker at Linda Mar Beach
around 5:25 p.m., re ofcials said.
When crews arrived, they found a
hiker 15 feet down the side of a cliff
at the south end of the beach, of-
cials said. The hiker was saved
quickly with high tide looming, of-
cials said. Crews treated the hiker at
the scene for injuries not considered
life-threatening.
One injured in
drive-by shooting
One person was injured in a drive-
by shooting Saturday afternoon in
Menlo Park, according to police.
Shots were reported on the 600
block of Pierce Road around 1 p.m.,
according to Sgt. Matthew Ortega.
The victim, a 19-year-old male,
was shot while standing in front of
his home and police located him
inside when they arrived on the
scene.
He had a single gunshot wound,
and was taken to the hospital for
treatment of non-life threatening
injuries.
Witnesses told police the suspects
were driving a dark-colored sedan,
possibly a Nissan, north on Pierce
Road when the shots were red.
Bullets also struck a parked car
and a home, Ortega said.
The suspect vehicle was last seen
turning east on to Berkeley Avenue.
One injured ghting re
One person was injured while try-
ing to extinguish a two-alarm vege-
tation fire in Brisbane Saturday
afternoon, according to re ofcials.
The re at 55 Industrial Way in a
light industrial area was reported
around 2:30 p.m., according to the
North County Fire Authority.
Fireghters arriving on the scene
reported high winds and called a
second alarm because the re was
spreading rapidly, ofcials said.
The re consumed around 2-3
acres of vegetation before it was
contained about 30 minutes later.
One worker who discovered the
re sustained a minor injury trying
to put it out, but declined medical
treatment. No reghters or others
were injured. The fires cause
remains under investigation.
Suspect arrested in
connection with child
molestation
Police arrested a San Francisco
man Tuesday in connection with the
sexual assault of a 10-year-old girl
in Daly City, according to police.
Tony Tou Kuan, 24, was taken
into custody Tuesday on suspicion
of molesting a child on April 8,
police said.
Kuan was booked into the Main
Jail in Redwood City for conducting
a lewd act on a child, according to
police.

SACRAMENTO A state law-
maker wants to establish basic stan-
dards for the short-term day care
centers that are growing in popular-
ity at fitness centers, shopping
malls, grocery stores and other busi-
nesses.
Unlike full-time child care
providers that are regulated by the
state Department of Social Services,
the so-called drop-off centers are
not licensed or required to follow
any regulations. SB766, by state
Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco,
would provide some basic protec-
tions for families.
Theres just more and more
groups that are utilizing this as a
way of attracting customers, said
Yee, a child psy-
chologist.
His bill would
require workers
at drop-in day
care centers to
undergo crimi-
nal background
checks and be at
least 18 years
old. It also
would mandate a minimum ratio of
one caretaker for every 10 children
up to age 6 and one worker for every
15 children age 7 and up.
The bill will be heard for the rst
time Tuesday in a Senate commit-
tee.
Yees ofce said drop-in day cares
are exempt from licensing because
parents and guardians are on the
same premises.

BOSTON As churches paused to mourn
the dead and console the survivors of the
Boston Marathon bombing Sunday, the citys
police commissioner said the two suspects
had such a large cache of weapons that they
were probably planning other attacks. The
surviving suspect remained hospitalized and
unable to speak with a gunshot wound to the
throat.
After the two brothers engaged in a gun bat-
tle with police early Friday, authorities found
many unexploded homemade bombs at the
scene, along with more than 250 rounds of
ammunition.
Police Commissioner Ed Davis said the
stockpile was as dangerous as it gets in urban
policing.
We have reason to believe, based upon the
evidence that was found at that scene the
explosions, the explosive ordnance that was
unexploded and the repower that they had
that they were going to attack other individu-
als. Thats my belief at this point. Davis told
CBSs Face the Nation.
On Fox News Sunday, he said authorities
cannot be positive there are not more explo-
sives somewhere that have not been found.
But the people of Boston are safe, he insisted.
The suspects in the twin bombings that
killed three people and wounded more than
180 are two ethnic Chechen brothers from
southern Russia 19-year-old Dzhokhar
Tsarnaev and his 26-year-old brother,
Tamerlan. Their motive remained unclear.
The older brother was killed during a get-
away attempt. The younger brother, Dzhokhar
Tsarnaev, was still in serious condition
Sunday after his capture Friday from a tarp-
covered boat in a suburban Boston backyard.
Authorities would not comment on whether
he had been questioned.
Sen. Dan Coats of Indiana, a member of the
Senate Intelligence Committee, said
Tsarnaevs throat wound raised questions
about when he will be able to talk again, if
ever.
The wound doesnt mean he cant commu-
nicate, but right now I think hes in a condi-
tion where we cant get any information from
him at all, Coats told ABCs This Week.
It was not clear whether Tsarnaev was shot
by police or inicted the wound himself.
In the nal standoff with police, shots were
red from the boat, but investigators have not
determined where the gunre was aimed,
Davis said.
In an interview with the Associated Press,
the parents of Tamerlan Tsarnaev insisted
Sunday that he came to Dagestan and
Chechnya last year to visit relatives and had
nothing to do with the militants operating in
the volatile part of Russia. His father said he
slept much of the time.
The younger Tsarnaev could be charged
any day. The most serious charge available to
federal prosecutors would be the use of a
weapon of mass destruction to kill people,
which carries a possible death sentence.

Boston bombers planned more attacks
WASHINGTON For President Barack
Obama, one of his most wrenching White
House weeks saw the fresh specter of terror-
ism and the rst crushing political defeat of
his new term, and the more emotional side of
a leader often criticized for appearing clinical
or detached.
The events presented sharp tests for a pres-
ident committed to an ambitious agenda in
the limited window offered by a second term.
There was the challenge to reassure a nerv-
ous nation about threats at home and to keep
the rest of his legislative goals on track after
the Senate rejected gun control measures that
had become his top priority.
This was a tough week, Obama said late
Friday, shortly after authorities captured the
second suspect in the Boston Marathon
bombings.
The Boston Marathon explosions and the
gun votes overshadowed other events that
would have captivated the country and con-
sumed the White House during almost any
other week.
An explosion leveled a Texas fertilizer
plant, killing at least 14 people. Letters
addressed to Obama and Sen. Roger Wicker,
R-Miss., were found to contain traces of
poisonous ricin in tests, evoking parallels to
the anthrax attacks after Sept. 11, 2001.
Its not new, David Axelrod, the presi-
dents former senior adviser, said of the
White House balancing act. Its never wel-
come, but its not entire-
ly unexpected.
The full fallout of the
events and their impact
on Obamas presidency
remains uncertain.
Thats particularly true
in Boston, where the
motivations of the two
brothers accused in the
bombing are unknown,
as are their connections to any terrorist net-
work.
But the capture of the teenager whose
older brother was killed attempting to
escape police brought closure to Boston and
the White House.
Throughout Friday, Obama aides watched
coverage of the manhunt on Boston televi-
sion stations being specially broadcast
throughout the White House. When the
search appeared to stall, the president
retreated to the residence, but returned
quickly to the Oval Office when news
reports showed authorities closing in on 19-
year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
Shortly before 9 p.m., FBI Director Robert
Mueller relayed news of his capture to
Obama counterterrorism adviser Lisa
Monaco.
They have him in custody, it is white hat,
Monaco quickly wrote in an email to the
presidents chief of staff Denis McDonough,
describing the hat the younger Tsarnaev was
wearing in photos released by the FBI.
For Obama, a trying
and emotional week

OPINION 9
Belmonts failure
Editor,
Thank you very much for writing
about Crystal Springs Uplands School
in the column Everyone loses with
Belmonts failure by Jon Mays in
the April 19 edition of the Daily
Journal.
As a planning commissioner in
Belmont, I was fully in support of the
project and the much needed funding it
would bring to the city while being
about as green friendly as a large
project can be. Unfortunately, the city
decided to go in a different direction
and now we will wait to see what
emerges at that site ... housing, new
ofce buildings or tumbleweeds.

Blue State
Editor,
Well, we nally made it. There are
now 11 states that have more people on
welfare than they have employed.
California is one of them. And lo and
behold, eight of these states are blue.
When Reagan left ofce as governor
of California, he left Brown a $6 bil-
lion surplus. Brown blew that in
months. Did we learn anything? No,
we voted him back in. Businesses and
citizens are eeing, and no one cares.
Wake up, sheep, and do your home-
work: dont count on your Democrat-
controlled media to inform you.
Remember, we have 57 states, and I
have one more to go! Did they even
tell you that one?

Bid Redex goodbye
Editor,
Redex should not be allowed to do
business in San Mateo County. I
remember as a child growing up hear-
ing things like, stay away from so-
and-so, hes a bad inuence, or youd
judged by the company you keep.
Several years ago, I publicly stated
that the Redex Trafc Systems Inc.
should not be allowed to do business in
San Mateo County. Today I am saying
it again because of a ticket I received
that was dismissed and the companys
lack of interest in xing a breach of
security in its system. Today, six years
later we see Chicago Mayor Rahm
Emanuel has banned Redex from
competing for future contracts in his
city. There were allegations that a city
employee received bribes and the
amount is around $2 million. Since this
has occurred, the stock prices have
dropped by more than half, and several
of its top executives have been red or
resigned.
The city of Redwood City has an
opportunity to demonstrate to the pub-
lic that ethics do matter. Redex had a
contract with the city which has
expired. Please do the right thing and
say, No to Redex. Several other
cities and counties have done just that.

Letters to the editor
Guest perspective
By Christopher P. Conway
I
f you have ever read any of my
letters to the San Mateo Journal,
you know that I was completely
against changing the San Mateo County
voting system into district elections.
The reason I gave was that it dilutes our
voting power by limiting our ability to
only vote for one supervisor in a small-
er district instead of all ve supervisors
under the previous at-large system.
In speaking to friends and family in
the area, they had no clue that our
county was being sued and forced into
voting changes by a very liberal and
powerful law rm in San Francisco.
San Mateo County, which has never
been a hotbed of racial tension by any
means, was accused of discrimination
in our voting process by activists in the
Latino and Asian communities. Under
the onslaught of litigation by Robert
Rubin and the Lawyers Committee for
Civil Rights, our Board of Supervisors
crumbled and, without a defense,
agreed to immediately put our rights as
voters to an instant vote. I dont believe
voters realized they were voting to limit
their choices and rights as a county
voter until the smoke cleared. The pow-
erful Democrat machine used the old
divide-and-conquer maneuver with pre-
cision and, to my regret, they did it bril-
liantly.
As I watch the
county that I grew
up in turn into San
Francisco before my
very eyes, I see that
county leaders are
currently in the
process of selecting
the panel that is
carving up our
county into the smaller voting districts.
As a San Mateo County voter, I knew
nothing about this selection process and
I immediately asked myself two ques-
tions. Who is in charge of selecting the
nine members who will sit on this new
panel? What criteria will be used in
selecting these new panelists? Seemed
like good questions, right? What I am
nding out though is completely mind
boggling and, frankly, very sad for a
native son like myself. At least eight
and more likely all nine members
selected are registered Democrats. The
selections were made by one man, our
county manager, John Maltbie, based
on recommendations by the League of
Womens Voters and the lawyers group
who represented the plaintiffs in the
original suit. Mr. Maltbie could not nd
one conservative voice in the entire
county for this hugely consequential
panel, are you kidding me? They are
not even giving the appearance of being
bipartisan by at least having one token
conservative voice in how our district
will be redrawn. Does anyone else see
this as way out of line, or is it just me?
So lets recap, shall we? San Mateo
County was sued for discriminatory
voting practices. The county was forced
into changing from an at-large voting
system to smaller district elections.
Voter power is diluted to a fth of what
it was under the previous at-large sys-
tem of electing county supervisors. The
panel responsible for redrawing bound-
aries selected by one man from a list
provided by the League of Womens
Voters and the plaintiffs liberal
lawyers group. This results in complete
Democrat rout of panelists. A 9-0
shutout. As a longtime conservative res-
ident of San Mateo, I realize that my
side is getting steamrolled by the
Democrat majority that hold power in
our county government. Conservatives
on the Peninsula need to wake up
before we lose our very important voice
as voters and turn into the circus that is
San Francisco.

tion Californian and a third generation

County under siege: A conservatives last stand
Whats happening
in San Mateo
A
lways some excitement when new restaurants and
stores open in downtown San Mateo. Heres an
update form Jessica Evans, executive director of the
Downtown San Mateo Association. Premier Shoe store, on
Third Avenue near Sharonas Chocolates (formerly Sees
candy) is a welcome addition to the retail mix. It was priced
out of Palo Alto and is happy to be in its new location. New
restaurants include Vespucci Italian on Third Avenue;
Hummus Mediterranean on Fourth Avenue near San
Mateo Drive; Cheesesteak sandwich stop on B Street near
Second Avenue; Bills Hofbrau at B Street and Ellsworth
Avenue. Deans Produce on Fourth Avenue now occupies the
former Blockbuster site. Mi
Rancho Market is going
through the entitlement
process to redevelop the for-
mer Blue And White
Laundry on North B Street.
Astaria restaurant is closing
for a couple of months and
will reopen this summer as
A3.
***
Meanwhile, there seems to
be buildings going up all
over town. As reported in the
Daily Journal last week, the
former site of Lithographix
printing and the citys police
station on Delaware Street next to the Arco gas station is a
new apartment complex scheduled to lease in spring 2014.
Under construction are 120 units, 60 of which are for very
low income. Another 60 will be built for moderate income. At
Bay Meadows, which will eventually have 1,170 new housing
units, sales have already started on the rst 156. Ofce build-
ings and Nueva High School are also scheduled. Near the
Hayward Park Caltrain station on the Kmart, Michaels and
Shell gas station site, another new development, Station Park
Green, is on the drawing board. It will include 599 housing
units and retail. Nearby, an ofce complex, Hines Ofces,
will locate on two parcels on Delaware Street and Concar
Drive. These projects are all part of the citys rail corridor
plan to encourage housing and ofces near train stations.
Elsewhere, far away from transportation, is the Verona Ridge
project in the San Mateo Hills, where 23 lots are up for sale.
Other residential projects under construction are Arbor
Rose at the former San Mateo County Times Building on
South Amphlett Boulevard; and new units on Elkhorn Court
and 20th Avenue near City Hall. A major one is at 888 N. San
Mateo Drive and Peninsula Avenue (once the home of a car
dealership), and within walking distance of the Burlingame
Caltrain station, advertised as luxury apartments. It will
include the citys required below-market rate units.
***
This sounds like a lot of high-density housing, enough to
cause grief among those who worry about increased trafc.
San Mateo is also one of 14 cities in the nine Bay Area coun-
ties specically listed in the regional Bay Area plan. The
overall strategy, drafted by the Association of Bay Area
Governments and the Metropolitan Transportation
Commission, addresses the best way to meet the needs of 2.1
million additional residents and 1.1 million new jobs by
2040. San Mateo just adds a tiny share to the mix: the goal is
50,000 units; the city already has 40,000 an increase of
25 percent. Most of the increases in the South Bay will occur
in San Jose (41 percent), Sunnyvale (34 percent) and Santa
Clara (30 percent).
The good news is that by locating housing near transporta-
tion corridors and jobs, the amount of regional greenhouse
gas emissions will be reduced. And that means less automo-
bile trafc. These goals are part of a regional plan currently
under discussion. Adoption could lead to more funding for
affordable housing, local street improvements and transit
needs for the targeted cities.
***
Also of interest are plans for the Hillsdale Shopping Center
now in the pre-application phase. It would include replacing
Sears with Target and adding a luxury nine-screen movie the-
ater and new food court (Remember, there was once a movie
house across the street on El Camino, now a furniture store).
***
Heres what not yet happening. Still waiting for something
on the corners of Third Avenue and El Camino Real in San
Mateo, sites of former gas stations. Village Properties has an
application for one of the sites, the north side of Third
Avenue and El Camino Real and has been working on obtain-
ing an environmental permit for the past eight years. Past and
present San Mateo mayors have made it a top priority to get
something done on these two prime properties, the entrance
to the citys downtown. Meanwhile they sit vacant, encased in
white fencing. The empty lots have been the subject of litiga-
tion and cleanup requirements. Its about time something hap-
pened.

BUSINESS 10
By Bernard Condon
NEW YORK The great engine of glob-
al growth, the American consumer, is starting
to sputter.
Retail sales are falling, consumer con-
dence is sagging and nancial analysts are
cutting prot forecasts for clothing chains,
department stores and restaurants. Stocks of
these companies seem vulnerable to a pull-
back after more than tripling in the last four
years. Thats because they sell discretionary
goods that people can delay buying.
The consumer looks a lot more precarious
than he did a few weeks ago, said Mark
Vitner, senior economist at Wells Fargo
Securities. And its going to get a little
worse. Vitner thinks Americans are too poor,
and too scared, to buy a lot more.
Bulls counter that the slowdowns were blips
caused by chilly weather. Some economists
also argue that people who have delayed
replacing big-ticket items like air conditioners
and dishwashers arent likely to hold out
much longer and could soon start buying.
At some point, Its nice to have a new
one, becomes I need to buy one, said Scott
Hoyt, an economist at Moodys Analytics, a
research rm. That pent-up demand gets
released.
At stake in the debate rides more than the
fate of some stock market darlings. Consumer
spending drives the bulk of the U.S. economy.
So far, stocks of consumer discretionary
companies have mostly shrugged off the bad
news. But some are beginning to cool.
Darden Restaurants Inc., owner of Red
Lobster, among other chains, has fallen 5.4
percent in April as it ghts rivals for tightst-
ed diners. Harley-Davidson Inc. is down 6.5
percent from a four-year high last month.
Even the mighty Amazon.com Inc. is slip-
ping, off 8.3 percent from its all-time high in
January.
Financial analysts who follow consumer
discretionary companies expect rst-quarter
earnings to rise 7.1 percent. While that gure
is much higher than the 2 percent forecast for
all companies in the Standard & Poors 500
index, its down from 12.2 percent at the start
of the year, according S&P Capital IQ.
The bad news began late last year.
Christmas sales were disappointing. And
while spending picked up in the new year,
much of the increase came from higher gaso-
line prices and utility bills, not more shopping
at the mall. Then, on April 12, the government
reported that retail sales slipped a seasonally
adjusted 0.4 percent last month, instead of ris-
ing as expected.
Sales fell across many categories food
and drinks, health-care products, general mer-
chandise, sporting goods, books and music.
Electronics sales fell 1.6 percent, the fourth
drop in as many months. Sales at department
stores fell 1.2 percent.
The same day a key measure of consumer
condence dropped to recessionary levels.
The University of Michigan consumer survey
fell to 72.3, the lowest since July. The average
for recessions is 76, according to David
Rosenberg, chief economist at money manag-
er Gluskin Sheff.
But consumer discretionary stocks have
kept chugging. Since the market hit a 12-year
low in March 2009, they have jumped 235
percent, the biggest gain by far among the 10
sectors in the S&P 500. By comparison, the
much celebrated rise of the index up 130
percent looks like its been marking time.
It so ies in the face of what everyone
believes, said Jim Paulsen, chief investment
strategist at Wells Capital Management.
People say, Oh, (the consumer) debt burden
is so high. There are no savings. Yet these
stocks just keep going up.
The problem is they can fall dramatically,
too, and on just a whiff of an economic slow-
down. They began dropping in June 2007,
four months before most other stocks began to
fall that year. Six months later, the Great
Recession began.
But nearly four years after the recession
ended, the U.S. economy has a stronger foun-
dation. Increased hiring, rising home prices
and record-level stock prices could help con-
sumers feel wealthier and spur them to spend.
Some investors say, if anything, consumer
stocks could zoom from here.
Americans pastime is shopping, said Ivan
Feinseth, director of research at money man-
ager Tigress Financial Partners, and a big con-
sumer bull. And when you go shopping, you
go eating.
One of Feinseths favorite stocks is Deckers
Outdoor Corp., the maker of pricey Uggs
boots. He issued a report on Nov. 5 recom-
mending that clients buy the stock. The price
was $30.29. Its now at $57.68. I think it
goes into the $80s, he said Thursday, as
Deckers slipped 2 percent along with the
broader market.
Should investors be more worried?
Bulls says the March fall in sales was an
anomaly, the result of an unseasonable cold
weather that kept shoppers in much of the
country from buying spring clothes and sea-
sonal merchandise. Once the weather warms
up, sales will pick up. And they think the hike
in Social Security payroll taxes that took
effect in January wont dampen spending for
long, either.
Perhaps the biggest argument in the bulls
camp is that it would be an odd time for a sus-
tained pullback in spending.
Are Americans too poor to buy?
San Mateo-based Coupa Software, a provider of cloud-based
spend optimization solutions for nance, made two announce-
ments last week. It has acquired Xpenser, a company that
enables users to record and track expenses more efciently in
the cloud. It also formed a partnership with KPMG geared
toward helping clients transform their approach to procurement
to achieve bottom-line savings.

The bill was introduced by Assemblyman Das Williams, a
Santa Barbara Democrat, who said he wants to help schools that
have been forced by state funding cuts to decrease course offer-
ings and, in some cases, drop entire sessions.
Williams cited a March Public Policy Institute of California
report that found that enrollment in the states 112 community
colleges had plunged to a 20-year low, the Los Angeles Times
reported (http://lat.ms/11Uwlsr ).
The report suggested several xes, including charging higher
fees for those who can pay. Under Williams measure, fees
would approximate those for nonresidents at about $200 per
unit.
The measure is similar to a controversial plan attempted
and then dropped by Santa Monica College to offer core edu-
cation classes at a cost of about $180 per unit, alongside state-
funded courses set by the Legislature at $46 per unit.
Opponents said that plan created a pathway to a two-tier edu-
cation system favoring those who can pay.
Williams legislation is supported by several college districts
and some employee unions and nonprots.
But students and some faculty are organizing protests.
SAN JOSE A newspaper is
reporting that technology firms,
banks and other companies are
ghting a proposed Internet privacy
law that would require companies to
show consumers the personal data
theyve collected on them and how
its being used.
The Right to Know Act, or AB
1291, is being opposed by 15 com-
panies and trade groups. The bill
would require companies to not
only show consumers the informa-
tion theyve collected, but also who
is using it. The information would
have to be provided for free.
The newspaper reported that in a
recent letter by the companies and
trade groups including
TechAmerica, which represents
Google, Facebook, Microsoft and
other technology companies the
companies and groups are demand-
ing that the measures author
Assemblywoman Bonnie Lowenthal,
D-Long Beach drop the bill.
Tech companies say the bill
would open up their businesses to
an avalanche of requests from indi-
viduals and to lawsuits, and that a
2005 California privacy law already
allows consumers to nd out what
personal information companies are
using. But supporters of the bill
argue it would give consumers more
information about the kind of data
businesses are compiling on them,
and whether they should opt out of
sharing that information.
Our companies are active propo-
nents of ensuring that consumers
privacy is safeguarded, said Robert
Callahan, the director of California
government affairs for
TechAmerica.
It is a fundamental part of their
business model.
The newspaper reports Google
did not reply to its requests for an
interview on the bill, while a
Facebook spokesman declined to
comment. The California Chamber
of Commerce referred all calls to
TechAmerica.
The American Civil Liberties
Union a co-sponsor of the Right
to Know Act, says the tech rms
and others are trying to keep from
the public their lucrative practice of
amassing personal information on
people who use online services,
computer apps, social networking
sites and other portals that track
peoples locations, buying habits
and other activities.
A lot of companies dont want
consumers to know whats happen-
ing to their personal information,
Nicole Ozer, an attorney with the
ACLU, said.
Companies are collecting and
sharing this information with third
parties in ways the people might not
realize and in ways they might not
want.
A hearing on the bill was sched-
uled for last week has been moved
to next month.
Tech firms, others oppose Internet privacy law

Its ofcial: Miya Oto will bid the
California Community College
Athletic Association Coast
Conference adios as an undefeated
swimmer.
As expected, the coast conference
championship for the College of
San Mateo were highlighted by a
pair of standout individual perform-
ances.
Oto, the returning All-American
superstar, swept through her indi-
vidual events winning gold in
the 100-meter freestyle on Saturday
afternoon to cap off another Most
Outstanding Swimmer bid.
Otos 100 was part of a three-gold
medal day for the CSM Bulldogs,
who fell short in their bid for team
gold for the championships. The
women, defending last seasons
title, come in third; while the men
nished a respectable fourth.
CSM owns the breaststroke
Saturday as Alvaro Andaluz and
Kellsey Mercado swept gold.
Al and Kellsey are very similar,
good starts, great walls and very
strong in the nal 25 yards, said
CSM head coach Randy Wright via
email. Both [Friday] and
[Saturday], the race was close until
the homestretch.
Andaluz will swim next week at
CCCAA state nals.
Next week there is no waiting,
the race is on from the beep,
Wright added. Al is in, Kellsey
looks good.
Oto will definitely swim next
week at the state nals. She is fast,
feels good and is condent, Wright
said. Al, Kellsey and Miya are all
sophomores, their coast careers
were special.
Freshman Derek Koo tied for
high point after placing rst in the
200 individual medley, rst in the
100 backstroke and second on
Saturday in the 200 backstroke.
The 200 back was the best race of
the day. Koo led early.
Unfortunately, he lost the drag race
that ensued during the final 25
meters of the race and was out-
touched.
CSM picked up a pair of bronze
medals. The rst came in the 400
freestyle relay with Oto, Mercado,
Rachel Rosas and Kelly Dwyer
clocking in at 3:47.08
For the men, the 400 freestyle
relay was bronze. Sean Doker,
Trevor Jacobs, Jason Wong and
Richard Gonzalez clocked in at

SAN FRANCISCO Barry Zito shook
off the worst outing of his big league career to
give the Giants another impressive effort from

Buster Poseys first

Zito and Chad Gaudin
combined on a six-hitter

DENVER The Golden State Warriors

They learned All-Star

torn his right hip exor, as

So, theyll have to con-
tinue their playoff series

NBAs leader in double-
doubles.
Making that task all the
more difcult will be the

LONDON They crossed the line in front
of Buckingham Palace with black ribbons on
their chests and the Boston Marathon victims
on their minds.
Six days after bombs exploded near the
Boston nish line, the London Marathon sent
out a powerful message of solidarity with the
U.S. city and its victims Sunday and put the
spotlight back on the sport and away from ter-
rorist fears.
The mens race began with a poignant 30-
second period of silence to remember
Bostons dead and injured and ended with a
thrilling nish.
Under clear blue skies, Tsegaye Kebede
chased down Emmanuel Mutai in the closing
stages and overtook the tiring Kenyan to
secure a second London title on The Mall in 2
hours, 6 minutes and 4 seconds, while compa-
triot Ayele Abshero was third.
What happened in Boston, it shocked
everybody I didnt want to believe it, said
Kebede, who also won in London in 2010.
Sport is not like that
sport is not political. Sport
is free from everything.
We have to focus more on
sport. This is for them (in
Boston).
This is education for
those who made this acci-
dent.
The womens race was
won by Olympic silver
medalist Priscah Jeptoo of
Kenya in 2:20:15.
About 34,000 runners competed in London,
and organizers pledged to donate 2 pounds
($3) for every nisher to The One Fund
Boston set up to raise money for the bomb
victims.
Before the silence at the start of the race,
announcer Geoff Wightman urged athletes to
remember our friends and colleagues for
whom a day of joy turned into a day of sad-
ness.
Tributes to Boston were visible all around
the course, including a banner that said: Run
if you can, walk if you must, but nish for
Boston.
It speaks volumes for London and this
race, London Marathon chief executive Nick
Bitel said. It was the perfect response to the
horrors we saw in Boston. This shows the sol-
idarity with the British and American people.
Prince Harry mingled with the crowds and
said he had never thought about canceling his
visit following the bombings.
Its fantastic, typically British, he said.
People are saying they havent seen crowds
like this for eight years around the route. Its
remarkable to see.
Hundreds of thousands of spectators lined
the route and showed they would not be cow-
ered.
I was surprised to see so many people
there, said Mutai, who blamed hip and thigh
problems for losing his lead near the end.
But I think what gave the people guarantees
is, after what happened in Boston, the people
came out to say in terms of security every-
thing is fully covered.
Police manpower was increased by 40 per-

Day 3s performance came after CSM was
truly golden on Friday.
In the 14 featured events, the Bulldogs won
ve gold and three bronze medals com-
pletely dominating the breaststroke in the
process, with Andaluz and Mercado pulling
away at the homestretch for medals.
On Friday, Oto won a pair of gold the
rst in the 200-meter freestyle and the second
as part of the 200 medley relay.
At that point, Oto was 5-for-5 in two sea-
sons at the conference nals.
The plan for Miya was to swim a steady
race and win, Wright said. We were both
surprised to see her go low with a 1:54 (in the
200 free).

Faried sat out the opener Saturday, when the
Nuggets edged Golden State 97-95 despite
getting outrebounded 55-45.
Whoa, I didnt know that, Faried said
Sunday after declaring hed be back in action
Tuesday night in Game 2. That cant be hap-
pening. Its playoff basketball and thats one
of the biggest keys. ... Every possession
counts and theyre that much more valuable in
the playoffs. You need to secure rebounds and
lock the ball down and make sure we can start
our break and have that fun and air that the
Nuggets play.
The Nuggets havent been winning as hand-
ily as they did before Faried went down with
a sprained left ankle on April 14. He wanted
to play Saturday but by keeping him on the
bench, hell get another 72 hours of rest and
rehab.
Hes our hustle guy, hes our rebounder,
Nuggets coach George Karl said. Last night
I think we missed him. Youve got two teams
that like to run and when you take your best
runner off the court its going to affect the
ow of the game. And his offensive rebound-
ing is probably the reason why were No. 1 in
offensive rebounding, point blank. Hes the
guy that always goes and is always there.
The matchup of Lee and Faried was billed
as a headliner in this rst-round series pitting
two high-octane teams that like to get up and
down the oor.
It would have been exciting, Faried said.
Now, itll be Carl Landrys task to deal with
the man known as the Manimal, something
Warriors guard Jarrett Jack said hes looking
forward to.
I think hell be able to meet force for force
and give us a chance down there, Jack said.
Lee said he didnt have to wait for the MRI
on Sunday to know hed torn the right hip
exor, an injury thats seen much more often
on the football eld than the hardwood.
He said he knew it right when he hit the
oor after banging into JaVale McGee on a
drive in the fourth quarter. He gathered him-
self enough to shoot two free throws but strug-
gled to run back downcourt and needed help
getting to the bench.

starts.
If you let outings bleed into the next one,
thats when things kind of go bad, so you just
have to stick with your approach, Zito said
after beating San Diego for the rst time in
nearly two years.
I felt pretty good in my game and the
results werent there last (time). I felt pretty
good today and the results were there. Thats
just the nature of the game.
Zitos outing followed gems by San
Francisco starters Madison Bumgarner and
Tim Lincecum, and helped the Giants sweep
the Padres in a series of three games or more
for the rst time since Sept. 12-14, 2011.
San Diego, held scoreless for the last 21
innings, had opened its six-game trip by tak-
ing three straight from the Los Angeles
Dodgers.
Zito retired 13 of his nal 16 batters before
leaving to a standing ovation after fanning
Will Venable to end the seventh.
He had given up nine runs in 2 2-3 innings
during Tuesdays 10-8 defeat at Milwaukee,
ending his streak of 16 starts without a loss.
Good for Z, Giants manager Bruce Bochy
said. It was a great job on Barrys part of
bouncing back. You have to be resilient in this
game. He had good command today and made
his pitches.
Gaudin allowed one hit over the nal two
innings to complete the Giants second straight
shutout.
San Diego has started 5-13 for the second
straight season. The Padres didnt have an
extra-base hit in the game and failed to get a
runner to second base over the nal seven
innings.
I didnt think it would turn out this way
after our at-bats in L.A., San Diego manager
Bud Black said. Bumgarner pitched a great
game, Lincecum picked it up and Zito just
carried it over.
Poseys rst home run of the season was
just the 11th this year for the power-starved
Giants. Before the two-out, two-run drive off
Eric Stults (2-2) in the fth, Hunter Pence,
Pablo Sandoval and Brandon Crawford had
accounted for all of San Franciscos homers.
Angel Pagan put San Francisco ahead with
a two-run double in the third, two innings
after his heated discussion with plate umpire
Bob Davidson. Pagan believed he had been hit
on his back foot by an 0-2 pitch from Stults
and argued with Davidson for several min-
utes, at one point repeatedly pointing his n-
ger at the umpire while standing in the batters
box.
Replays were inconclusive and San
Franciscos leadoff hitter eventually grounded
out. After his double knocked in Andres
Torres and Crawford, Pagan made it 3-0 when
he scored on Pablo Sandovals single.
Sandoval also reached on a two-out ineld
single in the fth and scored on Poseys rst
regular-season home run since Oct. 2.
Stults, who had won four of his previous six
starts against the Giants, gave up all ve runs
and eight hits in seven innings. He walked
none for the second time this season.

cent to provide a security operation that, while
noticeable, was not intrusive along the 26.2-
mile course.
Several of those competing in the wheel-
chair race had raced in Boston last Monday. It
seemed fitting that American Tatyana
McFadden, who won the womens wheelchair
race in Boston, marked her 24th birthday with
a second title in a week on Sunday.
There was never a doubt that I was not
going to run, she said. And I was going to
run for the people back in Boston the peo-
ple who lost loved ones or who are newly
injured.
In the womens marathon, Jeptoo was a run-
away winner ahead of compatriot Edna
Kiplagat and Japans Yukiko Akaba.
I was surprised so many people on the way
cheering us, Jeptoo said after clocking the
fastest time this year. And that shows there
was no fear for those people.
The only blot on a day marked by the de-
ance of athletes was the dispute that broke out
during the womens race.
Olympic champion Tiki Gelana was angry
that her hopes were thwarted by a collision
about a third of the way in with Canadian
wheelchair racer Josh Cassidy as she went to
get a drink.
The Ethiopian nished 16th after losing
ground on the leading pack, while Cassidy
had to settle for 20th in his race.
The safest thing would be to have the
chairs start rst because one of these years a
woman is going to have a leg broken, a career
ruined, Cassidy said. Its just not worth hav-
ing this program if the races are going to suf-
fer.

SAN ANTONIO The Los
Angeles Lakers had a golden oppor-
tunity to take Game 1 of their
Western Conference first-round
series against San Antonio.
The Spurs were struggling offen-
sively and Los Angeles closed with-
in four points midway through the
third quarter Sunday. No one was
more excited about that than the
Lakers biggest fan, Kobe Bryant,
who watched the national broad-
cast.
This game has a steal one writ-
ten all over it for us, the injured
Bryant tweeted.
However, the Lakers couldnt
capitalize.
Instead, Manu Ginobili and Tony
Parker scored 18 points each as San
Antonio led from early in the rst
quarter and beat Los Angeles 91-79.
Dwight Howard had 20 points
and 15 rebounds, Steve Nash scored
16 points and Pau Gasol added 16
points and 16 rebounds for the
Lakers.
Despite the double-doubles from
Howard and Gasol, the Lakers
failed to take full advantage of their
inside presence, much to the con-
sternation of Bryant, who is out for
the remainder of the season with a
torn Achilles.
Post. Post. Post, Bryant tweeted
in reference to the Lakers offense.
Yea, thats what we did, Los
Angeles coach Mike DAntoni said
when asked about Bryants tweet.
Its great to have that commen-
tary.
DAntoni was asked if Bryants
tweets were appropriate.
Yea, thats ne, he said. Hes a
fan right now. Hes a fan and you
guys (the media) put a little more
importance on that kind of fan, but
hes a fan. He gets excited and he
wants to be a part of it, so thats
good.
Bryant responded to DAntonis
remarks by tweeting, A fan?? Lol.
Bryants absence definitely
impacted the Lakers, especially on
defense, where he usually guards
Ginobili.
In his 11th season, Ginobili has
battled leg injuries all season and
was playing in his second game fol-
lowing a nine-game absence due to
a strained right hamstring. But he
looked like his old self, going 6 for
13 from the eld and 3 for 5 on 3s
in 19 minutes.
It was great to have Manu back,
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said.
He does what he does. He makes
big shots. He creates problems for
the opponent and hes got a great
will, a great desire. Ill worry all
night about how hell feel in the
morning. If he says he feels great,
then that will be a good sign for our
team.
Tim Duncan added 17 points and
10 rebounds, Matt Bonner had 10
points and Kawhi Leonard had eight
points and 11 rebounds for San
Antonio, which
snapped a three-
game skid.

length caused
San Antonio
problems early
as the Spurs
missed their
rst three shots
all inside the
paint as they altered their shots
to avoid Howard and Gasol.
Nash, who returned after missing
nine games with a hip/hamstring
injury, gave the Lakers their only
lead with a jumper on the games
opening possession.
Duncan broke the drought, hitting
a pair of jumpers over Gasol that
gave San Antonio a 4-2 lead with
9:33 remaining and the Spurs led
the rest of the way.
It was a very physical game,
Duncan said. It was a good start to
our playoff run. We shook off a lot
of cobwebs weve had over the past
10 games or so. It was great to have
everybody back out there together.
It was a good start overall.
The Lakers shot 35 percent from
the eld in the rst half, primarily
missing shots from 11 feet and out.
Los Angeles had 10 points in the
paint, but could not consistently
work the ball inside for attempts.
Theres no reason other than
youre playing San Antonio,
DAntoni said. Thats a good
team.
Los Angeles pulled to 28-24 with
7 minutes left as Howard had four
points in an 8-0 run, including an
alley-oop dunk off a feed from
Gasol to cap the run.
It was the closest Los Angeles
would come as San Antonio extend-
ed its lead to 10 points in the quar-
ter.
San Antonio shot 38 percent from
the eld overall, but Los Angeles
failed to take advantage of it, com-
mitting 18 turnovers while shooting
41 percent.

MIAMI LeBron James has never
taken fewer shots in a playoff game than
he did on Sunday night, which at rst
glance might seem like a good thing for
the Milwaukee Bucks.
It was not.
James scored 27 points on 9 for 11
shooting nishing two assists shy of
a triple-double while Ray Allen
scored 20 off the bench and the defend-
ing champion Heat picked up where
they left off in the NBA playoffs a year
ago, never trailing on the way to beating
the Bucks 110-87 in Game 1 of an
Eastern Conference rst-round series.
Dwyane Wade scored 16, Chris Bosh
added 15 and Chris Andersen finished
with 10 on 4 for 4 shooting for the
Heat, who opened their title defense by
holding Milwaukee to 42 percent
shooting and outrebounding the Bucks
46-31.
Brandon Jennings scored 26 points
and Monta Ellis added 22 for the Bucks,
who have not won the opening game of
a playoff series since May 2001.
Game 2 is Tuesday in Miami.
James has 27, Heat top Bucks 110-87 in Game 1

KANSAS CITY, Kan. Matt
Kenseth knew that he had a front-
running car Sunday.
It was simply a matter of getting
there.
So when a caution ag came out
with several leaders on pit road, and
Kenseth found himself leading the
pack into the pits, he had a feeling
things were going his way.
That was the key, he would say
later.
Kenseth won the race off pit road
after taking two tires under caution,
and a No. 20 Toyota that had been
strong all day slowly pulled away.
Kasey Kahne trimmed into the lead
once he moved into second, but
Kenseth managed to block every
move he tried to
make.
Kahne pulled
alongside him
entering Turn 4
with the white
flag flying, but
Kenseth pulled
back ahead
along the front
stretch and then
cruised to the win at Kansas
Speedway.
When it was in front, we knew it
was really fast, Kenseth said after
his second straight win at the track.
And if we could get out there rst,
wed be tough to beat.
It was the third straight win from
the pole in the Sprint Cup series.
Jimmie Johnson did it two weeks
ago at Martinsville, and Kyle Busch
did the same last weekend at Texas.
The last time three straight winners
came from the pole was in 1985,
when Bill Elliott and Dale
Earnhardt combined to do it at
Michigan, Bristol and Darlington.
The fastest car is supposed to
win, right? Thats what racing is
about, Kenseth said. I think its a
little bit of a coincidence, the way
things worked out.
Points leader Johnson finished
third with a car that kept getting bet-
ter during long, green ag runs.
Martin Truex Jr. came home in
fourth and Clint Bowyer was fth.
Matts good. He always has
been, Johnson said. He impresses
me in his ability to lead the team,
make adjustments on the car, and
his knowledge of the car, but most
importantly, inside the car, and nd-
ing a little bit more. The guy can do
it.
So can Brad Keselowski, who put
a positive spin on an ugly week for
Penske Racing.
Keselowski picked up some
minor damage to the rear of his car
early in the race, and fell a lap down
when he was slow getting off pit
road under caution. The damage
kept getting worse as the laps ticked
along, and eventually a huge piece
of his rear end ripped off.
The No. 2 team managed to get it
xed up enough, and Keselowski
slowly picked off positions in the
waning laps to nish a heartening
sixth after a frustrating week.
Penske Racing is appealing heavy
sanctions handed down by
NASCAR after an unapproved rear-
end housing was found on its two
cars last week at Texas. The penal-
ties include six-race suspensions for
seven-crew members, including
both crew chiefs, $200,000 in nes
and 25-point penalties.
The date of the appeal hasnt been
set, allowing both teams to arrive in
full at Kansas.
Usually youre not happy unless
you win, Keselowski said, but you
know, a day where you can ght
through adversity like we did today
and get a solid nish, thats kind of
is a win.
Joey Logano didnt have the same
chipper feeling.
He was struggling to nd speed
when Busch got in trouble along the
wall, shot down to the apron of the
track and smacked into his No. 22
Ford in a devastating head-to-head
collision.
Kenseth holds off Kahne to win at Kansas
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. The
hottest lineup in the American
League went cold for three days
against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Roberto Hernandez pitched six
effective innings Sunday for his rst
win since he was known as Fausto
Carmona, and the Rays completed a
sweep of the Oakland Athletics with
an 8-1 victory.
The Athletics, who still lead the
league in run production, batted
.179 without a home run and scored
only four runs in the three-game
series.
Id be stupid to blame it all on
the offense and not give their pitch-
ing staff credit, said Brandon
Moss, who went 0-for-4 as
Oaklands cleanup hitter Sunday.
They did an outstanding job of
keeping us off-balance all series . . .
Obviously we didnt do our jobs
today, or I know I didnt with guys
in scoring position, but they made
some really good pitches.
Despite getting only three hits
Sunday, the As had several chances
for big innings and left nine men on
base.
Weve been very good about get-
ting big hits this season in those sit-
uations, said manager Bob Melvin.
We just didnt in this series.
Hernandez (1-3) allowed one run,
three hits, three walks and had
seven strikeouts in his first win
since Sept. 20, 2011, while with
Cleveland.
The 32-year old right-hander was
arrested in January 2012 in the
Dominican Republic on false identi-
ty charges as Carmona. They
were dropped after he completed a
work program.
Oakland starter Tommy Milone
(3-1) had his season-opening three-
game winning streak end. The left-
hander gave up six runs and eight
hits over 6 2-3 innings.
The Rays took a 3-0 lead in the
rst. Ryan Roberts scored the rst
run from third when Oakland right
elder Josh Reddick dropped Evan
Longorias y. After later loading
the bases, Sean Rodriguez drove in
a run when he was hit by a pitch and
Kelly Johnson hit a sacrice y.
Yunel Escobar made it 4-0 with a
second-inning homer. The ways the
As hit in the series, that was a big
decit.
Thats the game. It happens.
Were not going to score 10 runs
every game, as much as we would
like that as pitchers, Milone said.
Its going to happen and weve got
to do our best to keep the team in
the game. Thats our job.
Reddick cut the decit to 4-1 on
Oaklands rst hit, a two-out RBI
single in the fourth. The Athletics
failed to score after loading the
bases with two outs during the fth
when Brandon Moss ew out to
right on a 3-2 pitch.
Oakland went 1 for 10 with run-
ners in scoring position against
Hernandez, and 1 for 13 overall.
The Athletics had three hits in 25 at-
bats in the series with runners in
scoring position.
So you just move on. Dont
dwell on it. Youve got to take your
losses, take your lumps just like you
take your wins, said Moss.
Obviously when were on winning
streaks we play with condence, but
we never get too high. And it would
be stupid for us to get down on our-
selves after three losses, especially
when they pitched as well as they
did.
As lose to Rays 8-1, strand nine on base

tracks across the mountain. The hilly terrain
assured that construction would be costly and
slow. It was decided to follow the narrow
band of land to San Pedro Point, go through
San Pedro Point with a tunnel, and then blast
a roadbed 700 feet above the ocean along
Devils Slide. This was tricky construction
due to the unstable rock, but once across this
barrier, the track construction went faster.
Towns further down the coast Montara, El
Granada, Moss Beach, Princeton-by-the-Sea,
etc. were hastily constructed. The real estate
men encouraged this fast pace as they wanted
to entice buyers down to the land that was to
be developed. It was important to get buyers
there who wanted to get in on the ground oor
of the sure-thing real estate boom.
The construction of the tracks went smooth-
ly until the rugged coastal cliffs and creek
barriers by Tunitas Glen halted work. The
tracks coming north from Santa Cruz had
been laid as far as Swanton, but cut-throat
competition from another railroad left no
business for the Ocean Shore Railway. The
26-mile track from Swanton to Tunitas Glen
remained unbuilt and passenger service had to
be gapped with use of a Stanley Steamer bus.
This took two hours and proved too inconven-
ient for the crowds inpatient to get to the
pleasure centers of Santa Cruz. Other misfor-
tunes continued to strike the railroad labor
strikes, rail washouts, landslides, boulders hit-
ting the train, etc. Expenses mounted.
After the initial novelty of this new railroad,
passenger excursions to the coastside dropped
off to the point that little money was made by
the railroad. Shipping of produce from these
communities was brisk at rst, but as automo-
biles and trucks became more available to
ship produce, many times the trains ran
empty.
By 1908-09, the railroad led for bankrupt-
cy. Reorganization and a name change to
Ocean Shore Railroad helped for a few
years, but by 1920, the railroad ceased opera-
tion. Much of the railroads roadbed right-of-
way was acquired by the state and Highway 1
now covers most of the right-of-way of the
Ocean Shore Railroad in San Mateo County.
The era of the auto began.
To further explore the Ocean Shore
Railroad read Arcadias Images of Rail

mer editor of the Pacica Tribune.

HISTORY
I think 21 years is enough
although a lot might depend on how
this board works. My goal is and
always has been to serve the coast
and get the best possible emergency
services we can for those that live
here. It is unfortunate when allega-
tion replaces respect and truth and I
am just not sure I am ready to put
my family through that again,
Mackintosh wrote the Daily Journal
in an email.
November election
Three board members are up for
re-election this November includ-
ing Ginny McShane, Gary Burke
and Riddell. Riddells seat will now
be held by Rarback after the county
elections ofce certies the April 9
vote.
There are 14,323 voters in the
district and 6,595 ballots were cast
in the recall election, most by mail,
which accounted for 4,642, or 71
percent, of the vote cast.
Most ballots, about 63 percent,
supported the recall.
At its last meeting April 15, the
board unanimously voted to send a
letter to Cal Fire stating its intent to
enter into a new contract for re
services.
It is what the voters wanted,
Mackintosh said.
The board is next scheduled to
meet April 24.
The Coastside Fire Protection
District serves Half Moon Bay, the
unincorporated areas of Half Moon
Bay and the unincorporated com-
munities of Miramar, El Granada,
Princeton-by-the-Sea, Moss Beach
and Montara.

Science Fair Teacher of the Year
in the Junior Division.
The award, given by the
California State Science Fair, is
only given to teachers who are nom-
inated by their students. Shimshock,
a second-year teacher at St. Charles
completing her rst year as a sci-
ence teacher, was surprised her stu-
dents took the time to ll out the
additional paperwork.
It was so special and unexpect-
ed, said Shimshock, adding the
best part is that it came from the
kids.
Shimshocks path from hopeful
marine biologist to classroom
teacher wasnt linear. The
Connecticut native had wonderful
high school teachers who helped her
embrace an interest in science. After
learning that marine biology wasnt
really an option, Shimshock began
exploring other opportunities.
Teaching kept pulling her back.
Shimshock began teaching in
1983. She started rst with high
school then took a break to start a
family. It was when her children,
now in high school and college,
were in elementary school that
Shimshock got a taste of working
with younger children. She volun-
teered as a science teacher in the
San Carlos classrooms and became
interested in showing the process of
learning rather than requiring stu-
dents to learn pages of facts.
Shimshock found herself coaching
teachers about teaching science.
When she nally decided to go back
to teaching full time, Shimshock
realized she wanted to work with
younger children.
At St. Charles, Shimshock was
able to shake up the system going to
a inquiry, hands-on focus. For
example, she enjoys giving students
materials and seeing what they can
gure out. Sometimes Shimshock
will put a question on the board,
give children materials and see how
they approach the challenge through
teamwork, critical thinking and pre-
senting ndings.
Its that kind of learning that
excites Shimshock, who attributed
her success to having support at
the San Carlos school. Knowing
that, it becomes easy to see why
Shimshock strongly believes stu-
dents should participate in the sci-
ence fair and that more schools
should push the opportunity. By
participating, children get the
chance to test scientific princi-
ples.
Shimshock also created a mentor-
ing program in which volunteer sci-
entists would come in after school
to work with children on their proj-
ects. Shimshock, a biologist by
trade, wanted children to have the
chance to bounce ideas and chal-
lenges off engineers and mathemati-
cians experts in the eld which
the children were exploring through
their projects.

LOS ANGELES Movie fans slipped
into Oblivion as the Tom Cruise sci-fi
thriller led Hollywood with a $38.2 million
debut, according to studio estimates Sunday.
That domestic haul comes on top of $33.7
million Oblivion added in overseas markets,
where the lm began rolling out a week earli-
er. Oblivion raised its overseas total to $112
million and its worldwide receipts to $150.2
million.
Though many people Friday were caught up
in coverage of the manhunt for the suspect in
the Boston Marathon explosions, it seems to
have had little effect on how the lm fared.
Oblivion took in $13.3 million on open-
ing day Friday and $14.9 million on Saturday.
That 12 percent increase is not unusual for big
new releases, which typically do better busi-
ness on Saturday than Friday.
While Boston was on lockdown much of
Friday, that market only accounts for about 1
percent of the nationwide box ofce, said
Nikki Rocco, head of distribution for
Universal, which released Oblivion. The
manhunt mainly affected matinee business,
with theaters reopening Friday night, when
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was taken into custody.
Once the guy was arrested, I think people
got back into their regular routine, Rocco
said.
The previous weekends
top lm, the Warner Bros.
baseball drama 42, held up
well, slipping to second-place
with $18 million in its second
weekend. The Jackie
Robinson biography starring
Chadwick Boseman and Harrison Ford raised
its domestic total to $54.1 million and is on its
way to the $100 million mark, said Dan
Fellman, Warners head of distribution.
Overseas, Paramounts G.I. Joe:
Retaliation got a lift with $40 million, most
of it coming from a $33 million debut in
China. The action sequel has topped $200
million internationally and $300 million
worldwide.
Reese Witherspoon charged
with disorderly conduct
ATLANTA Actress Reese Witherspoon
was arrested on a disorderly conduct charge
after a state trooper said she wouldnt stay in
the car while her husband was given a eld
sobriety test in Atlanta.
The trooper noticed the car driven by her
husband wasnt staying in its lane early Friday
morning, so a trafc stop was initiated. Her
husband, James Toth, had droopy eyelids and
watery, bloodshot eyes, and his breath smelled
strongly of alcohol, according to the report.

cooby Doo has left an indelible
pawprint on Americans, spanning
four-plus decades when he debuted
on Saturday morning television. Hes right
up there with Bugs Bunny in terms of icon-
ic cartoon characters and wet nose to wet
nose with Lassie. The Scooby Doo fran-
chise includes several incarnations of the
original cartoon, full-length movies,
licensed T-shirts, toys, gurines, games and
lunch boxes. What should you know about
this American classic? First, hes a Great
Dane, though originally conceived as a
shepherd or sheepdog named Too Much.
Jeepers! Scoobys creator worked with a
Great Dane breeder, then, ultimately, gave
him some un-Dane characteristics, like
bowed legs and a long cat-like tail. The
original actor who voiced Scooby also did
the Jetsons dog, Astro, another Great Dane.
Several sources claim Scoobys name came
from Frank Sinatras famous scat (doo-be,
doo-be do) at the end of his recording of
Strangers in the Night. Now, I know this is
shocking, but most Great Danes do not
solve crimes, eat whole pizzas with no ill
effects and run upright when scared or
excited. But, they can take down bad guys!
They are gentle giants like their cartoon
versions (including Marmaduke, the comic
strip character), with males tipping the
scale at 200 pounds, the approximate
weight of Shaggy and Velma combined!
The working breed with short hair (fawn,
black, blue/gray, brindle and Harlequin) and
naturally oppy ears has a short life span of
just six to eight years. Typical temperament
for the breed is friendly; they do not exhibit
extreme aggressiveness and do not have a
strong prey drive. Danes need daily exer-
cise, but owners should be careful not to
over-exercise them, especially younger,
still-growing Danes. They have a slow
metabolism, resulting in less energy and
food consumption per pound of dog in
small breeds. Their health issues, typical of
other large breeds, include bloat and hip
dysplasia. Ruh-oh.

ARTS RECOGNITION
Plummeting Sky
by Jack Herrera
If the sun was painted by the trees,
Everything dark and beautiful
was dappled by the shade.
Leaves fell in a dance
A ballet in the wind
Floating to the touch
of unsung music.
Birds heard what we didnt
and sang for our benet.
The hills rose and fell
like a woman
Sleeping in a stream.
Leaves and branches
smiled in slumber
Life moved; birds ew
Trees grew upwards,
And the sky plummeted down
to meet them
Sunlight slept on the leaves,
and music rested on the branches.
Green bent and twisted around
The trees dance was in their stillness.
Time was lost in the sunshine
and went to live among the leaves:
unmoving, yet still breathing.
The wind danced through the branches
and spoke in the rivers language--
a soft translation of the liquids tongue
as it slid across moss covered rocks.
The sky seemed to weigh,
though the sun weighed more.
The shade among the willows
was like sinking underwater.
The woods made an expression:
one that could only have been an invitation.
Saying no words, yet somehow speaking
softly through the silence:
the dark green curve seduced the mind.
But nothing was as noble
as the tall oak standing tragically
among his equals
Offering no superiority
Other than his own towering majesty.
The river and time rolled endlessly onward,
thoughtlessly abandoning a passionate
melody,
that sank soulfully into the stones that the
water danced around
on its rambling ballad to the sea.
Each blade of grass
offered a friendly equality
to all living things:
the captains bard took his bow.
And then night came
For every man should have the pleasure
of laying down and dying,
Among the trees of the thickest,
and most lonesome woods in the world.
If just for one night, he should die with time
in the darkness that gathers
so thickly among the trunks
and the branches.
He should sing the black songs of the witch-
es with the moon,
Pray to the hovering presence that pervades:
drinking in the dust of stars,
and exhaling through the utmost branches
of the tallest trees.
For nothing beautiful, nor terrifying
has ever been anything less than pure,
Draped in the tremendous sky
that plummets down to meet the branches.

past issues.
Though California has relatively strict
gun laws, guns shows, such as those held
at the Cow Palace, offer opportunities for
local residents to make connections with
those who may be able to sell them
weapons from other states, Horsley said.
Daly City leaders are also throwing their
weight behind Lenos bill.
Daly City Mayor Ray Buenaventura sent
Senate Public Safety Committee Chair
Loni Hancock an April 8 letter in advance
of its meeting asking for support of the
bill. Although the Daly City Council will
have no ofcial vote in whether weapons-
related events are approved for the event
center, Councilman David Canepa said
such a law still gives them a voice.
It gives us a way to put pressure on
local supervisors. We could talk with the
supervisors, primarily Adrienne, and say
look, here are our concerns with this,
Canepa said.
Canepa said the Cow Palaces desire for
revenue-generating events must be bal-
anced with public safety, particular
because the venue is adjacent to Daly
Citys Bayshore residential neighborhood
and in close proximity to the Sunnydale
public housing project in San Francisco.
Law enforcement cant curb the use of
guns in crime without reciprocal effort to
restrict purchasing access, Buenaventura
wrote in the letter to Hancock.
Buenaventura said that guns shows have
directly resulted in paroled felons being
rearrested by Daly City police for possess-
ing rearms and ammunition at the Cow
Palace. The letter also said guns shows are
featured and glamorized in communities
and specically state facilities.
Cow Palace administrators did not
return inquiries for comment on the bill
but opposition of similar bans often cite
business rights and revenue as considera-
tions.
Tissier said she understand the venues
bottom line but said it will just have to
look elsewhere.
We cant put a price on life. Yes, they
make money but we also lose a lot of
money to violence, she said.
Leno also authored ban legislation in
2007 and 2009 that did not make it into
law. In 2003, the Board of Supervisors, at
the urging of former supervisor Mike
Nevin, asked state lawmakers to ban gun
shows. Prior to that, Nevin pushed for the
ban of guns and ammunition on county
property which forced the exclusions of
gun shows from the San Mateo County
Event Center. That approach was consid-
ered less likely to create a legal challenge
because it did not specically ban gun
shows themselves.

enjoy themselves and the arts.
Slocum and Groom on Tuesday will ask the
full board perhaps even wax poetic? to
establish the countys inaugural poet laureate
program and create a two-member ad hoc com-
mittee to pick a nominee. The two-year post will
be honorary and have no scal impact. During
his or her tenure, the poet laureate will hold
public readings, participate in civil events and
propose and lead community projects and
school events.
Slocums fondness for poetry was sparked by
a family member whose poem about Vietnam
vets struck a chord. During his supervisor cam-
paign last year, he visited a group of art folks
and was peppered with questions about public
art, architecture and historic preservation. From
there, the idea of a poet laureate grew.
Like Groom, he agrees poetry gets short shrift
but hopes for a change.
Part of the goal is to, in our county, elevate
poetry and get people excited about everyday
moments, he said.
The county is getting help on the plan from
Californias poet laureate and some local pro-
fessors of humanities, he said.
While the idea of a poet laureate is far from
prosaic, it is a now-common position in the state
of California and a number of its counties and
cities. The Bay Area alone has poet laureates in
the counties of San Francisco, Marin, Napa,
Sonoma, Alameda and Santa Clara.
Groom said she recalls when poet Robert
Frost read his piece in freezing cold weather at
President John F. Kennedys inauguration. A
book of his poetry still sits on her shelf.
That type of connection to poetry and other
types of art is what creation of the post aims for,
Groom and Slocum both said.
Not that Peninsula residents are lacking in
culture, Groom said so many head up to San
Francisco for theater or opera. But the poet lau-
reate is a way to cultivate something more local.
Poetry and literacy is also a way to make res-
idents, particularly the youth, more well-round-
ed, which in turn helps them excel in later
grades, she said.
While no nominees are in the pipeline yet, the
idea of the program is already gathering back-
ers. San Mateo resident Maurine Killough, who
last year won four awards for poetry at the San
Mateo County Fair, will read the winning piece
in support of the proposal at the supervisors
meeting. Groom will also read a favorite as will
Slocum who has picked poet Billy Collins
whose wry humor he appreciates.
Slocum also expects the nominee pool to be
deep.
There is no specic potential nominees in
mind yet but I know there are many talented
folks in San Mateo County who would be inter-
ested, Slocum said.
The Board of Supervisors meets 9 a.m.
Tuesday, April 23 in Board Chambers, 400
County Government Center.

TaUrUs (April 20-May 20) -- Be extremely careful
about what you say. Dont talk about anything meant
only for select ears, lest you spill the beans about
something very private.
GeMini (May 21-June 20) -- It behooves you to tie
up all loose ends, because anything left dangling
could cause you a big headache. If you think you
cant complete something, dont start it.
CanCer (June 21-July 22) -- Theres a chance that
the restlessness you feel could be more mental than
physical. Assuage this affiction by speaking with a
companion who always has something interesting
to say.
LeO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Go out of your way to mind
your spending, especially where nonessentials are
concerned. Theres a good chance you could have a
large leak in your wallet.
VirGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Appearances are
always important, especially if you hope to inspire
and/or control others in some manner. To be a
leader, you must look like one.
LiBra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Your intuition is in good
form, provided you carefully assess what its telling
you. Use your logic in tandem with your hunches,
and youll be hard to stop.
sCOrPiO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Be open-minded and
receptive when socializing with friends. You may
fnd conversations to be unusually meaningful, with
valuable information being exchanged.
saGiTTariUs (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- A major goal is
achievable if you focus your efforts on it. Be careful
not to spread your energy too thin, or nothing will
come of it.
CaPriCOrn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A number of new
opportunities are likely to come your way if you
broaden your horizons. Try to develop some new
interests so you can meet new people.
aQUariUs (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Theres no need to
be anxious about change, because it could broaden
your horizons. Most shifting conditions tend to work
for your beneft.
PisCes (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Try to keep in
mind that there are always two sides to every
story, because if you dont, you could jump to
an erroneous conclusion when you learn some
unpleasant information.
aries (March 21-April 19) -- Be realistic about the
tasks you undertake. Unless youre discerning about
what you can accomplish, you could easily get in a
heap of trouble.

unpaid principal of the Note secured by
said Deed of Trust with interest thereon
as provided in said Note, plus fees,
charges and expenses of the Trustee
and of the trusts created by said Deed of
Trust. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BID-
DERS If you are considering bidding on
this property lien, you should understand
that there are risks involved in bidding at
a trustee auction. You will be bidding on
a lien, not on a property itself. Placing
the highest bid at a trustee auction does
not automatically entitle you to free and
clear ownership of the property. You
should also be aware that the lien being
auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you
are the highest bidder at the auction, you
are or may be responsible for paying off
all liens senior to the lien being auctioned
off, before you can receive clear title to
the property. You are encouraged to in-
vestigate the existence, priority, and size
of outstanding liens that may exist on this
property by contacting the county record-
er's office or a title insurance company,
either of which may charge you a fee for
this information. If you consult either of
these resources, you should be aware
that the lender may hold more than one
mortgage or deed of trust on the proper-
ty. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER
The sale date shown on this notice of
sale may be postponed one or more
times by the mortgagee, beneficiary,
trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section
2924g of the California Civil Code. The
law requires that information about trust-
ee sale postponements be made availa-
ble to you and to the public, as a courte-
sy to those not present at the sale. If you
wish to learn whether your sale date has
been postponed, and, if applicable, the
rescheduled time and date for the sale of
this property, you may call 1-800-281-
8219 or visit this Internet Web site
www.recontrustco.com, using the file
number assigned to this case 12-
0022638. Information about postpone-
ments that are very short in duration or
that occur close in time to the scheduled
sale may not immediately be reflected in
the telephone information or on the Inter-
net Web site. The best way to verify
postponement information is to attend
the scheduled sale. DATED:

WORLD 28
By Gillian Wong
YAAN, China Rescuers and
relief teams struggled to rush sup-
plies into the rural hills of Chinas
Sichuan province Sunday after an
earthquake left at least 186 people
dead and more than 11,000 injured
and prompted frightened survivors
to spend a night in cars, tents and
makeshift shelters.
The earthquake Saturday morning
triggered landslides that cut off
roads and disrupted phone and
power connections in mountainous
Lushan county, further south on the
same fault line where a devastating
quake wreaked widespread damage
across the region ve years ago.
Hardest hit Saturday were vil-
lages further up the valleys, where
farmers grow rice, vegetables and
corn on terraced plots. Rescuers
hiked into neighboring Baoxing
county after its roads were cut off,
reaching it overnight, state media
reported. In Longmen village,
authorities said nearly all the build-
ings had been destroyed in a fright-
ening minute-long shaking by the
quake.
In the fog-covered town of
Shuangli, corn farmer Zheng
Xianlan said Sunday that she had
rushed from the elds back to her
home when the quake struck, and
cried when she saw that the roof col-
lapsed. She then spent the night out-
doors on a worn sofa using a plastic
raincoat for cover.
We dont earn much money. We
dont know what we will do now,
said 58-year-old Zheng, her eyes
welling with tears. The govern-
ment only brought one tent for the
whole village so far, but thats not
enough for us.
Along the main roads, ambu-
lances, fire engines and military
trucks piled high with supplies wait-
ed in long lines, some turning back
to try other routes when roads were
impassable.
Rescuers were forced to dynamite
boulders that had fallen across
roads, and rains Saturday night
slowed rescue work, state media
reported.
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang
arrived Saturday afternoon by heli-
copter in Yaan to direct rescue
efforts, the governments official
Xinhua News Agency reported.
The current priority is to save
lives, Li said, after visiting hospi-
tals, tents and climbing on a pile of
rubble to view the devastation,
according to Xinhua.
Deadly quake rattles China
Kerry pushes Turkey-Israel
rapprochement
ISTANBUL U.S. Secretary of
State John Kerry on Sunday urged
Turkey to speed up and cement an
American-brokered rapprochement
with Israel, and he explored with
Palestinian ofcials new ways to
relaunch Mideast peace efforts.
Kerry tried to advance those second-
term foreign policy priorities for
President Barack Obama in meetings
with Turkeys foreign minister, Ahmet
Davutoglu, and the Palestinian
Authority president, Mahmoud Abbas.
Taliban attacks kill
9 people in Afghanistan
KABUL, Afghanistan
Insurgents killed six police ofcers
at a checkpoint and a suicide
bomber killed three civilians at a
shopping bazaar in separate attacks
Sunday in eastern Afghanistan,
while an independent security group
warned 2013 is on track to be one of
the most violent years of the war.
April already has been the dead-
liest month this year for security
forces and Afghan and foreign civil-
ians as the U.S. and other countries
prepare to end their combat mission
by the end of next year.
Pakistan: Bomb kills 4
soldiers in volatile region
PESHAWAR, Pakistan
Pakistani intelligence ofcials say a
roadside bomb attack on an army
convoy in North Waziristan tribal
region has killed four soldiers and
wounded four others.
Two intelligence ofcials said the
bomb planted in Haider Khel area
alongside the main Bannu-Miran
Shah Road exploded Sunday when a
military convoy was passing, while
a civilian curfew was in force.
North Waziristan is a sanctuary
for Islamic militants.
