the survey offered over the last

Establishing a neighborhood
school on the College Park campus in San Mateo and implementing a.m./p.m. kindergarten classes at all Foster City elementary
schools are some of the preferred
means of addressing overcrowding

More than 3,500 local residents

gave their opinion on how the San

School District should accommodate the more than 250 students
joining the district next year, and
more than nearly 600 students

The most popular combined resolution is to renovate and reopen

the Mandarin immersion program
currently housed on the College
Park campus, and use the site for a
neighborhood school to serve the

North Central community in San

Mateo, as well as constructing a
new building on the campus of
Brewer Island Elementary School
and implementing alternating
morning and evening kindergarten programs at all Foster City
elementary schools.

Renovation of 73-unit apartment complex

Key Market Produce Manager Manuel Gutierrez talks to customer Gary Larsen about the San Mateo stores
closure. After 30 years at the Shoreview Shopping Center, the family-owned grocery store will close at the end

Turning in the keys

San Mateos Key Market slated to close after 30 years

The public outcry over the ouster

of tenants at the 73-unit Park
Royal Apartments has perplexed
the real estate agency that manages it, according to a letter to San
Mateo city officials.
A letter sent by an executive of
Belmont-based Woodmont Real
Estate Services Wednesday to
Councilman David Lim reads:
Since the renovations began
eight months ago and the project
has gone smoothly up to this
point, for a major renovation

project that is nearly a year in the

making, we are perplexed that the
plan has caused such public stir at
this time.
Lim does not challenge that
Woodmont has a legal right to
make the renovations since there
are no laws on the books to prevent it from doing so.
He does challenge the companys methods, however.
To say they are surprised by the
backlash is a little disingenuous,
Lim said. There is a legal way and
a right way. I dont think this is

PARKER, Ariz. A Phoenix couple

has claimed responsibility for putting
two fake skeletons sitting in lawn
chairs in the Colorado River in far west
Arizona, authorities said Friday.
The husband and wife approached the
La Paz County Sheriffs Office earlier
this week and revealed how the skeletons in their closet ended up at the bottom of the river in Parker.
They were nervous at first, Lt. Curt
Bagby said. They thought they might
be in trouble. But when they finally

came in, they brought a photo as proof

that they were the ones who put them
there.
The pair, who may identify themselves publicly next week, came forward after seeing all the media attention surrounding the skeletons. The
Sheriffs Office has no plans to file any
charges since the skeletons werent
endangering anyone, Bagby said.
We try not to encourage people to
do this kind of thing, but it was relatively harmless, he said. It was deep
water, they were wedged between some
rocks, and there was no reason to
expect someone would find them.
A man snorkeling in the river near
the Arizona and California border spotted the skeletons about 40 feet underwater Monday. Believing they were
actual remains, he contacted authorities. But it soon became clear to a
Buckskin Fire Department diver that
they were fake.
The skeletons were wearing sunglasses with one holding a sign that
includes the words Bernie and dream
in the river, although the entire sign
was not legible. The sign also had the
date of Aug. 16, 2014.
Bagby said he thought at the time
Bernie was likely a reference to the
movie Weekend at Bernies. In the
1989 film, the two main characters lug
around their dead boss for days, losing
and recovering his body several times.
At one point in the film, Bernies
corpse falls off a boat and into water.

PG&E shuts down gas line

Tests to determine what caused bulges in section of pipe in San Carlos
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Pacific Gas and Electric has shut down

gas transmission Line 147 in San Carlos
until the utility completes some work on a
section of the pipe this week so it can conduct more testing, Public Works Director
Jay Walter said Monday.
The gas is not flowing right now, he
said.
Excavation and retrofit work conducted
by PG&E workers Wednesday revealed two
unexplained bulges or dents in a section of
Line 147 near Tasker Lane as they were
replacing an elbow joint so a telemetry
robot called a pig could better traverse
the line for inspection.
The utility immediately reduced pressure
in the line so that it could be vented and
shut down Friday.
The gas will not flow again through Line
147, which serves 650,000 Peninsula customers, until some components are
replaced on it to enable the robot to access
the pipe, said PG&E spokesman Donald
Cutler.
But Councilman Mark Olbert wants the
utility to shut down the line temporarily
even after the robot finishes inspecting
the pipe, which requires the gas to be flowing.
As soon as the data is gathered, the line
should be closed, Olbert said.
The line should be shut down until it is
adequately tested and verified to be safe, he
said.
The section of pipe with the bulges in it
was sent to Houston, Texas, for testing,

Walter said.
The bulges were discovered by utility
workers as they were replacing an elbow
joint, which had too sharp of an angle for
the robot to navigate.
Workers have also encountered a similar
problem on another section of pipe that
will also have to be replaced this week,
Walter said.
The bulges appear to be caused from
within the pipe rather than from outside
the pipe, he said.
A PG&E official said the utility reduced
the pressure from 279 pounds per square
inch gauge (psig) to 165 psig out of an
abundance of caution.
There are no indications now to be concerned about the safety of the pipeline,
Cutler said. There are also no plans to turn
off the gas after the components have been
replaced, he said.
The line was also successfully tested in
2011 at two times the operating pressure
at 660 psig, Cutler said.
On Sunday, the California Public
Utilities Commission sent a letter to
PG&E directing it to:
Perform a metallurgical examination
on the cutout sections of pipe and provide
both draft and final results to SED as soon
as they are available;
Maintain the pressure reduction at or
below 223 psig which represents approxi-

Presidential Scholar Award
By Daniel Montes
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

San Mateo Union High School District

officials announced Monday one of their
students has been chosen as one of 141 students nationwide to be named a U. S.
Presidential Scholar.
Angela Zhang, a senior at San Mateo High
School, will receive the prestigious award,
administered by the U.S. Department of
Education, at a ceremony in Washington,
D.C., on June 21, according to the school
district.
The White House Commission on
Presidential Scholars, appointed by
President Barack Obama, chose students
based on academic success, essays, school
evaluations and transcripts, as well as evidence of community service, leadership and
demonstrated commitment to high ideals,
school district officials said.
Angela deserves to be a part of this small
and elite group of Presidential Scholars,

San Mateo High School

principal Yvonne Shiu
said in a statement. She
is a smart, determined and
hard working young
woman. To see her grow
as a person and student
has been an honor.
This years recipients
include one boy and one
Angela Zhang girl from each state,
including the District of
Columbia and Puerto Rico, and also from
U.S. families living abroad. Fifteen students chosen at-large also made the cut, as
well as 20 students selected to be U.S.
Presidential Scholars in the Arts, school
district officials said.
The U.S. Presidential Scholars program
was created in 1964 and has honored nearly
7,000 students. The program was expanded
in 1979 to recognize students who demonstrate exceptional talent in the visual, literary and performing arts.

Identify any and all other similar elbow
configurations on Line 147 and excavate
and visually inspect those locations for
similar indications. Provide results to SED
(Safety and Enforcement Division); and
Provide the results of the in-line
inspection as soon as they are available.
Line 147 was a source of controversy in
late 2013 when it was revealed that there
were November 2012 emails by a PG&E
engineer questioning the safety of 84year-old gas transmission line which runs
parallel to Brittan Avenue. The former
engineer suggested the city could be
another San Bruno situation in reference
to the Sept. 9, 2010, gas line explosion
and fire that killed eight, injured dozens
and destroyed 38 homes. The engineer also
questioned if hydrotesting in 2011 exacerbated cracking.
The city declared a state of emergency
which led to the line being temporarily
taken out of service and PG&E accelerated
regularly scheduled work on the line from
2016 to sooner.
Olbert said Monday that the situation
with Line 147 does not make him nervous.
Its better to shut it down until we
know, he said about the safety of the line.

Wide disparities remain

in access to state pre-K
By Christine Armario
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Disparities in access to

early
learning
opportunities
have
increased, with some states enrolling nearly all children in their pre-kindergarten programs and others not offering any services,
according to a national study on early education released Monday.
Florida, Oklahoma, Vermont and the
District of Columbia each provide pre-K to
more than 75 percent of all 4-year-olds.
Meanwhile, 11 states operated programs
serving fewer than 10 percent of 4-yearolds and 10 states had no program at all in
2014.
It matters even more what zip code you
live in, said Steven Barnett, director of the
National Institute for Early Education
Research, which conducts the annual review
on the state of pre-K.
Early education is widely recognized as an
important component to helping ensure
children from all backgrounds enter school
ready to learn. The Obama administration
has made it a centerpiece of its education
policy, with the president announcing $1
billion in public-private spending on programs for young learners last year.
Total enrollment rose by 8,535 students
in the 2013-14 school year. But that
increase follows a loss of 4,000 seats following post-recession state budget cuts in
2012-13.
Overall, 29 percent of 4-year-olds were
enrolled in a state-funded pre-K, a percentage thats changed little since 2010. The

Police arrest man on

suspicion of DUI, hit-and-run
A Pacifica man was arrested Saturday night
for allegedly being involved in two hit-andrun crashes, driving drunk and having illegal weapons, police said Monday.
Anthony Burke, 24, was arrested after witnesses reported two different hit-and-runs
involving seven vehicles, according to
Pacifica police.
Police said they first responded at 10:46
p.m. to a report of a hit-and-run in the 300
block of Brighton Road. Shortly after, they
received a report of a second hit-and-run in
the 2500 block of Francisco Boulevard.
Witnesses were able to give police a vehicle description and also noted that the driver was swerving in the road, police said.
As officers were responding to the scene,
one noticed a vehicle matching descriptions
of the suspects vehicle headed south on
Highway 1 near Reina Del Mar Avenue.
According to police, the vehicle had
major damage and had sparks emanating
from the vehicle.
The officer conducted a traffic stop on
Highway 1 between Reina Del Mar and
Rockaway Beach avenues. Officers determined Burke was intoxicated and transported him by ambulance to a hospital, police
said.
Officers also discovered Burke was
allegedly in possession of a shuriken and a

numbers dont reflect participation in the

federal Head Start or special education programs.
At last years pace, it will be another 75
years before state pre-K enrolls even all
kids in low-income families, Barnett said.
There were some positive signs in the
report: Total state funding for pre-K programs increased by more than $116 million
in the 40 states and District of Columbia
that offered pre-K throughout the 2013-14
school year. And several states made
inroads in meeting more of the 10 benchmarks considered key to a quality program.
Even though we clearly have work to do
on the state and national level, this report
confirms were moving in the right direction and creating the building blocks for
every child to enter kindergarten prepared,
U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan said.
The report highlighted Michigan,
Nebraska and Ohio for significant expansions. Mississippi, which previously did
not have a pre-K program, invested $3 million to enroll nearly 2,000 children.

billy club, weapons that are illegal under
state law, police said.
Police said all of the vehicles involved in
the hit-and-runs were parked cars and there
were no reports of any injuries.
According to police, after doctors gave
Burke medical clearance, officers took him
to San Mateo County Jail and booked him
on suspicion of driving under the influence,
driving with a blood-alcohol content over
.08 percent, hit-and-run, possession of a
controlled substance, possession of a
shuriken and possession of a billy club.

Attempted home burglary in Millbrae

A Millbrae residence near the intersection
of Frontera Way and Sebastian Drive had its
rear bedroom window broken by a man who
fled once the home alarm went off Monday
morning, according to the San Mateo
County Sheriffs Office.
At about 9:49 a.m., a resident called the
Sheriffs Office to report an attempted burglary. The man was seen in her backyard. He
was described as black, in his late teens or
early 20s, short, and wearing a gray hooded
sweatshirt, according to the Sheriffs
Office.
Anyone with information about this
crime is encouraged to call the San Mateo
County Sheriffs Office Millbrae Bureau at

Gangmember in shootout
with cops gets six years prison

prison for his part in the shootout.

Apolinario and Bernal were acquitted of
the charges of assault on a police officer.

One of three defendants involved in a

shootout with San Bruno police while fleeing from a traffic stop in
2012 was sentenced to
six years in state prison
Wednesday, according to
the San Mateo County
District
Attorneys
Office.
Jordy Diego Bernal,
21, was convicted of
Jordy Bernal committing a felony for
a gang and car theft,
according to prosecutors. He was given
credit for 2,144 days time served and will be
a free man soon, according to prosecutors.
The other two defendants in the case
received much lengthier prison terms.
Daniel Garcia, 26, was convicted of
assault with a deadly weapon on a police
officer in March, but the jury deadlocked 75 to acquit the Norteo gangmember on
charges of attempted murder on a police
officer. He was sentenced to 29 years in
state prison.
Co-defendant Michael Apolinario, 28,
was sentenced to more than 20 years in state

Newly adopted
puppy rescued on freeway
A newly adopted rescue puppy is safe and
sound after getting loose on Interstate 280
Sunday morning just west of Hillsborough,
animal control personnel and a California
Highway Patrol Officer said.
At 11:10 a.m., a small puppy was reported running southbound on the right hand
shoulder of the highway near a rest stop
known as Vista 4, just north of the State
Route 92 interchange.
The puppy had just been adopted two
hours earlier, according to CHP Officer Art
Montiel, and had been at risk of being euthanized.
The puppys new owner, a woman
thought to be in her 70s, pulled over at the
rest stop and somehow the puppy got out of
the vehicle.
Distressed, she called dispatch in tears to
ask for help but CHP Officer Yaier Orona
was already on the scene, according to
Montiel, and helped chase the puppy away
from the road.
The officer was at the rest stop, so several people came up and said the dog was

running around, Montiel said. He came

out and began chasing the dog, but the dog
went up on the hillside because they were
chasing him.
Animal control officers with the
Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA arrived
on scene roughly an hour later, according
to Montiel. They were able to safely catch
the puppy and return the animal to the
owner.
The mission of the highway patrol is to
provide service, safety and security. This is
the service part of the mission, Montiel
said. By catching the dog we reunited it
with the owner but we also kept it from
becoming a hazard in traffic and causing a
collision or catastrophe on Mothers Day.

Barack Obama shakes hands with Saudi Arabias King Salman at the start of a bilateral meeting
at Erga Palace in Riyadh.

White House denies Obamas

Gulf overtures are unraveling
By Julie Pace
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The White House on

Monday raced to dispel the notion that
President Barack Obamas efforts to reassure
anxious Persian Gulf nations about his
overtures to Iran were unraveling ahead of a
rare Camp David summit this week.
Officials insisted there was no weakening
in ties between the U. S. and the Gulf,
despite the fact that just two other heads of
state will join Obama for Thursdays meetings at the presidential retreat in the
Maryland mountains. The rulers of Saudi
Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain
and Oman are skipping the summit and

instead sending lower-ranking, yet highly

influential representatives.
We very much feel we have the right
group around the table, said Ben Rhodes,
Obamas deputy national security adviser.
The absence of Saudi Arabias newly
crowned King Salman in particular has
sparked questions about summits effectiveness. The Saudis are bitter rivals with Iran
and among the most outspoken critics of
Obamas nuclear detente with Tehran.
Adding to the diplomatic intrigue: Saudi
Arabias announcement Sunday that Salman
would not travel to the U.S. came just two
days after White House officials said Obama
and the king would hold one-on-one talks in
Washington ahead of the Camp David meeting.

John Kerry heads to Russia in

first visit since Ukraine crisis
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Secretary of State John

Kerry departed Monday for Russia to meet
with President Vladimir Putin, on his first
visit to the country since relations between
Washington and Moscow plummeted to
post-Cold War lows amid disagreements
over Ukraine and Syria.
The State Department said Kerry would
meet Putin and Foreign Minister Sergey
Lavrov on Tuesday at the Black Sea resort of
Sochi. But in a sign of the considerable
strains, the Kremlin said Putins attendance
had yet to be confirmed and the Russian

Foreign Ministry previewed the talks by

blaming Washington for
the breakdown in relations.
The Obama administration chose the path of
scaling back bilateral
relations, proclaimed a
course of isolating
John Kerry
Russia on the international arena and demanded that those states
that traditionally follow the lead of
Washington support its confrontational
steps, it said in a statement.

SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown and

other California leaders already making
six-figure salaries got a raise on Monday
for the third year in a row.
A citizen panel granted top elected officials and state lawmakers a 3 percent bump

imposed during the recession.
The Citizen Compensation Commission
approved the salary and benefit increases
on a 4-0 vote after less than an hour of discussion. Commission members said the
states record revenues werent behind the
increases.
Rather, salaries were cut so dramatically
during the lean years that elected officials
pay had to be addressed, said commission
member Nancy Miller.
Browns pay will go to about $183,000,
up from about $177,000.

Truth About Deceptive

Cremation Practices
By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE

(This was first

published in 2010,
but its currently
needed again with
updated details)
Attacks from a
number of out of
state cremation corporations have been
waged upon our local and well respected
mortuaries. By now many of you reading
this article have been targeted by the flood
of junk advertising being spread across the
Peninsula & Bay Area by these cremation
outfits that use deceptive language to spread
their misleading message. Its no secret that
societies such as the Trident-Neptune
Corporation are using scare tactics to sway
consumers when they are most vulnerable.
Their mailings, which are many times
disguised as friendly notes, use falsehoods
to imply that their business practice just
makes sense or is much less expensive
luring in unsuspecting consumers. Their
shrewdly worded letters which use
implications such as fancy and expensive
funeral home, falling victim to pressure to
overspend, spending your familys
inheritance or up-selling are crafted to
imply some sort of dishonesty. Also, an
alluring enticement to WIN is flaunted
with tempting instructions to include your
phone number & key personal data.
The truth is that these societies are no
more than wealthy competitors to your
locally owned mortuary, and their costs are
not only comparable, but many times
MORE expensive than what your local
mortuary offers. Ive had families come to
me at the Chapel of the Highlands with
stories of being seduced by certain

cremation societies with talk of lower

costs and other persuasive language. Tales
of unimpressive staff and meetings in
bunker-like facilities are common. After
comparing local mortuaries & cremation
costs it was discovered that a mortuarys
total balance can be similar or even LOWER
than these societies.
Families have
realized that it would have been much more
comforting if they had called the Chapel of
the Highlands first. Our Chapel is well
experienced and has been highly regarded
for assisting families with low cost
cremations decades before cremation-only
corporations ever existed. We are also a full
service facility offering our Chapel for
Memorial Services if desired.
My advice if you ever wish to
investigate cremation:
Do your homework and call your locally
owned mortuary first to compare costs
along with reports on good reputation;
Dont let cremation societies message
of being much less expensive or offers
to WIN fool you;
Dont turn over your phone # or personal
info to un-requested cremation solicitors;
If you must use a cremation society
find out where they are headquartered
and about any prior or active lawsuits.
Thank you for reading my rebuttal. It
bothers me that these societies are openly
using misleading language and making
blanket implications about mortuaries.
Their tactics are unwarranted and my only
desire is for the truth to be known.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funerals or 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. We will guide
you in a fair and helpful manner. You may

Shock result in Polish vote

could signal larger power shift
WARSAW, Poland President
Bronislaw Komorowski lost the
first round of the countrys presidential election to a previously
unknown 42-year-old member of
the European Parliament, in what is
being called the biggest shock in
Polish politics in years.
The defeat for the communist-era
dissident, who has long polled as
one of the nations most trusted
leaders, is a sign that parliamentary
elections this fall could be unpredictable.
It could even signal a possible
return to power for Law and Justice,
the right-wing group backing
Sundays winning presidential candidate Andrzej Duda.
A runoff in two weeks will decide
the final outcome. In the first
round, Komorowski took 33.8 percent of the votes compared to 34.8
percent for Duda, according to official results released early Tuesday.
In all there were 11 candidates.
The result is undeniably a defeat
for Komorowski, a center-right
leader who earlier this year was
expected to easily win far above 50
percent of the vote, avoiding a
runoff altogether.

Greece in crunch talks with

creditors as money runs dry
BRUSSELS Greece appears to
have made some progress in bailout
talks with its European creditors but
the chances of a deal on Monday
look slim, finance ministers said
ahead of another round of negotiations over the future of the country.
Greece, which is facing a cash
crunch that could see it go bankrupt
within weeks and possibly leave
the euro currency, has to secure a
deal on economic reforms and budget measures with creditors to get a
bailout loan worth 7.2 billion
euro ($8 billion) that will help it
pay upcoming debts.
As they arrived for a meeting in
Brussels, finance ministers from
the 19-country eurozone said
progress has been made since their
last such gathering in April ended in
acrimony. Germanys Wolfgang
Schaeuble even indicated he would
not oppose Greece holding a referendum on the reforms proposed in
an eventual deal.

Saudi-led coalition pounds

Yemen on eve of cease-fire
By Ahmed Al-Haj

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANAA, Yemen Warplanes

from a Saudi-led coalition pounded
weapons depots on the edge of
Yemens capital Monday, one day
before a humanitarian cease-fire is
due to start and a U. N. envoy
arrives on his first visit to try to
end the war.
The latest airstrikes followed
the release by
the
Shiite

rebels of video and photos of the

purported wreck of a Moroccan F16 that they claim to have shot
down over the northern province
of Saada near the Saudi border.
The Moroccan military said the
plane had disappeared Sunday
evening. An online news site with
close ties to Moroccos royal
palace and security and intelligence services said the aircraft was
one of two that flew from a base in
the United Arab Emirates on a
reconnaissance mission over the
Yemeni side of the border with
Saudi Arabia.

The French-language site,

Le360, said rebel anti-aircraft batteries stationed on mountains
opened fire on the two aircraft as
they flew at low altitude.
The Moroccan fighter jets
maneuvered, gained altitude,
attempted to escape the danger, but
it was too late. One of the craft was
hit and went into a spin, Le360
reported.
Yemeni security officials said
Mondays coalition airstrikes targeted arms and ammunition depots
on Noqom mountain, on Sanaas
northeastern edge.

Changing womens health one plate at a time

By Dr. Debra Shapiro

s an ob-gyn, my career has

been dedicated to womens
health. While my day job as
a physician is to ensure the reproductive health of my patients and the
health of their newborns, the physician in me is alarmed by how little
regard our society has for taking care
of our lifelong health. Im talking
about the staggering public health
crisis our nation is facing due to
chronic preventable disease. Its a crisis of epidemic proportions that doesnt need to be addressed in our
nations delivery or operating rooms,
but rather in our dining rooms. During
Womens Health Week, I hope more
women and men will begin to
resolve that crisis by eating more
plant-based meals.
Research shows that the majority of
what Americans eat today is generally
unhealthy. Our diets are too high in
saturated fats and rened sugar and carbohydrates, and too low in whole
grains and ber, as well as nutrient
dense vegetables and fruit. Smoking,
inactivity and hereditary predispositions are of course very important.
However, the research clearly indicates that a diet high in meat and
dairy is also strongly associated with
more heart disease, hypertension,
high cholesterol, obesity, diabetes
and cancer.
Studies also show that animal agriculture is a major contributor of
greenhouse gasses that are literally
destroying our planet the greatest

public health
threat we could
ever face. It is estimated that 15 percent of greenhouse
gas emissions now
come from the
meat, egg and dairy
industries. Both
the United Nations
and the World Health Organization
have advised reducing our overconsumption of meat if we want to avoid
planetary disaster with continued
global warming. Not to mention the
topic thats on everyones mind these
days: the production of meat and dairy
uses much more water than the production of plant-based protein, and produces much more waste.
As compassionate people who care
about animal welfare as well as human
health, many of us are also concerned
about the way in which animals are
treated in the meat industry. Ninetynine percent of the animals raised for
food in the world come from factory
farms, where the industrys routine
standard practices amount to what
many of us would call animal abuse.
Over and over again, organizations
like The Humane Society of the
United States expose, through whistle-blowing exposes, animal cruelty
on factory farms. Although most of us
dont want to see these conditions,
when given the information, most
people do want to make more compassionate choices.
Lastly, we are all aware of the costs
of medical care for people suffering
from preventable diseases. Heart dis-

Guest
perspective
ease, diabetes, obesity and cancer are
crippling our health care system. As a
community, we have a tremendous
opportunity to improve our health, to
reduce our environmental impact and
improve the lives of countless farm
animals by eating more meat-free
meals or simply taking a once-a-week
holiday from meat by enjoying
Meatless Mondays. And we can join
citizens in many other cities like San
Jose, San Francisco and Oakland in
promoting Meatless Mondays, hospitals like Kaiser Permanente and entire
school districts like Los Angeles and
Houston public schools which are
encouraging students to swap chicken
nuggets with protein-packed threebean chili even one day a week.
The words of Hippocrates still ring
true today, Let food be thy medicine
and medicine be thy food. A prescription for women and a healthier
community can be lled at the dinner table: a satisfying, delicious
plant-based meal.

California courts were cut by over $1
billion from 2008 to 2012.Our own
San Mateo County Superior Court was
forced to cut one-third of its staff
130 employee positions. Eight courtrooms and one courthouse were
closed. To date, less than 20 percent
of these funding cuts have been

who work in our vital service industries?
Once again we see a call for more
housing without one mention of
drought. When the state promises
to stop asking me to cut my water use
by 20 percent while raising my rates
every year, Ill listen to your call for
more housing.And if we are going to
build more housing, lets start with
Atherton.The train tracks run right

Remember the power

of peaceful protesting

t took 27 years behind one of the worlds darkest,

most ruthless prisons for civil rights leader Nelson
Mandela to come to terms with a fundamental truth
many appear to have forgotten in this day and age that
peaceful means of protest far outweigh the anomalies of
violent demonstrations in the pursuit of justice and civil
liberties.
Mandela was not the rst to gradually understand that
non-violent demonstrations carry more weight than violent force against municipalities and innocent, law-abiding citizens. You may be surprised to know that Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr. was once a proponent of violent protests
in his youthful years. Yet, with time and wisdom, he
matured to fully understand the power that comes with
protesting with means of love and compassion rather than
hatred and bitterness.
These were the same methods championed by worldrenowned civil rights leader Mahatma Gandhi in the
Indian independence movement from British-ruled India in
the 1920s.
Together, these three freedom
rights leaders steered some of
the greatest civil rights movements that enshrined fundamental human rights into laws that
govern today most notably
the right to equal protection
under the law and the right to
vote.
The relevancy of peaceful
means of protest demonstrated
by these leaders was tested in
the month of April after 25Jonathan Madison
year-old Freddie Gray was slain
at the hands of six police ofcers in Baltimore, Maryland.
After one week of peaceful protests by encompassing
communities in Baltimore, a small cohort of individuals
in neighboring communities decided to take matters into
their own hands. In a historic uprising, these individuals
rioted throughout the streets of Baltimore, destroying
neighboring businesses and communities. These events
triggered a media frenzy centered on this small cohort of
people who rejected the means of non-violent protest.
Many have rightfully condemned the media for highlighting but a small segment of thousands of other members of various communities who had not forgotten the
power in peaceful protest. While I do not disagree, the
motive of the media has not changed much in the last century, and it should come as no surprise that the media
would focus on the negative images portrayed in the
protests. What is most important is that many today have
decided that the means of peaceful protest are no longer
worthy or effective enough to champion civil rights, or to
demand protection from police brutality.
We should all remember that the days of Martin Luther
King Jr., Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Ghandi were much
darker than the days of today. South Africa overcame
Apartheid in the face of brutal violence and visceral, racist
mistreatment by police ofcers daily. In spite of this,
Mandela understood from experience that peaceful means
of protest far outweighed violent demonstrations. Coupled
with his support for peaceful means of protest and patient
negotiations upon his release from prison, Mandela
became president of South Africa and subsequently put a
permanent end to the Apartheid.
Our country witnessed countless black Americans who
were lynched and murdered at the hands of law enforcement
in the 1950s and 1960s. Although King was a strong proponent of using non-violent means to achieve civil liberties, he was not blind to an understanding of why riots
occur. In a 1966 interview, King said, riots are the language of the unheard. He went on to suggest that, certain conditions in society must be condemned as vigorously as we condemn riots.
Nevertheless, King remained an avid supporter of peaceful methods of protest. In fact, before nearly every march
or demonstration, he made clear that if members of the
demonstration could not be nonviolent participants, that
they should not engage at all.
The bottom line is that it took time, experience and
wisdom for these leaders to understand that peaceful means
of protest far outweigh the power of violent uprisings. We
should understand that those who have protested in
Baltimore likely have not had the benet of a meaningful
education about the powerful distinction between a peaceful and criminally violent protest. And now, more than
ever, our communities deserve leadership from individuals
who will remember and educate others about the power of
peaceful protest.

Big movers
Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Monday on the New
York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market:
NYSE
Noble Energy Inc., down $3.05 to $46.07
The energy company will pay about $2.1 billion for Rosetta Resources in
a deal that will give it access to two Texas shale formations.
Actavis PLC, up $8.92 to $301.74
The drugmaker said that its $66 billion purchase of Botox maker Allergan
helped boost its revenue 59 percent in the last quarter.
Dean Foods Co., up $1.05 to $17.33
The milk producer and distributer reported adjusted earnings for its first
quarter that beat Wall Street expectations.
Sothebys, up 63 cents to $44.34
Thanks to stronger demand for art, the auction house posted adjusted

Nasdaq
Zulily Inc., up 69 cents to $13.98
Chinese e-commerce powerhouse Alibaba disclosed last week that it
bought a more than 9 percent stake in the online retailer.
Monster Beverage Corp., up $5.54 to $134.01
A Citi analyst gave the energy makers stock a Buy rating, saying that it

in the first quarter, even as its net income doubled.
RadNet Inc., down $1.24 to $7.55
The operator of medical diagnostic imaging centers reported a loss of
$4.6 million in its first quarter.

The U.S. stock market took a small

step back on Monday, giving up some
of its big gains from last week.
Crude oil prices fell, pulling down
energy stocks. Exxon Mobil lost 1.7
percent, the most in the Dow Jones
industrial average. The price of oil
slipped as traders weighed declining
drilling in the U.S. against rising gasoline supplies that could crimp demand
for crude in the coming weeks.
Benchmark U.S. crude fell 14 cents to
close at $59.25 a barrel in New York.
The market was coming off its
biggest gain in two months on Friday
following news that U.S. employers
added 223,000 jobs in April, a solid
gain suggesting that the economy may
be recovering after a stumbling start to
the year.
That sentiment helped cool off
demand for bonds on Monday. As a
result, the yield on the 10-year Treasury
note rose to 2.26 percent, its highest
level of the year so far, from 2.15 percent late Friday.
Its a day of digestion after big news
and a big move on Friday, said Eric
Wiegand, a senior portfolio manager at
U.S. Bank Wealth Management.
The Dow fell 85.94 points, or 0.5
percent, to 18,105.17. The Standard &

Poors 500 index lost 10.77 points, or

0.5 percent, to 2,105.33. The Nasdaq
composite slipped 9.98 points, or 0.2
percent, to 4,993.57. The three indexes
are up for the month and year.
The indexes barely budged much of
the day. Absent major new economic
data, investors mostly focused Monday
on the latest corporate deal news and
company earnings.
Noble Energys $2.1 billion allstock buyout of rival oil and gas production company Rosetta Resources
failed to impress traders, however.
Nobles shares slumped $3.05, or 6.2
percent, to $46.07. It was the biggest
decliner among S&P 500 companies.
The slide in oil prices also hurt stock
prices for several other oil producers
and drilling equipment companies. QEP
Resources fell $1.13, or 5.2 percent, to
$20.46, while Pioneer Natural
Resources slid $6.07, or 3.8 percent, to
$152.99. National Oilwell Varco shed
$1.90, or 3.6 percent, to $51.33.
We have crude down a little bit today
and energy stocks are having a tough
time, said JJ Kinahan, TD Ameritrades
chief strategist.
The 10 sectors in the S&P 500
declined, led by energy stocks. The sector is down 0.2 percent for the year.
The rest of this week should provide
traders some insight into a key facet of
the U.S. economy: consumer spending.

Several major retailers report quarterly results, including Macys, J.C.

Penney, Nordstrom and Kohls. Also,
the government reports its latest
monthly tally of retail sales on
Wednesday.
Are the people out there spending
money? Thats what we need to see
next, Kinahan said. Thats what
everybody is having a bit of trouble
figuring out.
In other energy futures trading, Brent
crude, a benchmark for international oil
used by many U.S. refineries, fell 48
cents to close at $64.91 in London.
Wholesale gasoline fell 0.6 cents to
close at $1.986 a gallon, while heating
oil fell 0.9 cent to close at $1.945 a
gallon. Natural gas fell 7.8 cents to
close at $2.802 per 1,000 cubic feet.
In metals trading, gold fell $5.90 to
$1,183 an ounce, silver fell 15 cents to
$16.31 an ounce and copper fell two
cents to $2.90 a pound.
Markets in Europe were mixed as
traders looked for progress on the latest
bailout for Greece. European finance
ministers met on Monday to discuss the
issue, but emerged without a deal. A debt
default would destabilize Greece, potentially causing it to fall out of the eurozone. Frances CAC 40 fell 1.2 percent,
while Germanys DAX shed 0.3 percent.
Britains FTSE 100 edged up 0.2 percent.

Google acknowledges 11 accidents with its self-driving cars

By Justin Pritchard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Google Inc. revealed

Monday that its self-driving cars have been
in 11 minor traffic accidents since it began
experimenting with the technology six
years ago.
The company released the number after
the Associated Press reported that Google
had notified California of three collisions
involving its self-driving cars since
September, when reporting all accidents
became a legal requirement as part of the
permits for the tests on public roads.

The director of Googles self-driving car

project wrote in a web post that all 11 accidents were minor light damage, no
injuries and happened over 1.7 million
miles of testing, including nearly 1 million
miles in self-driving mode.
Not once was the self-driving car the
cause of the accident, wrote Googles Chris
Urmson.
Cause is a key word: Like Delphi
Automotive, a parts supplier which suffered
an accident in October with one of its two
test cars, Google says it was not at fault.
Delphi sent AP an accident report showing its car was hit, but Google has not made

public any records, so both enthusiasts and

critics of the emerging technology have
only the companys word on what happened. The California Department of Motor
Vehicles said it could not release details
from accident reports.
This lack of transparency troubles critics
who want the public to be able to monitor
the rollout of a technology that its own
developers acknowledge remains imperfect.
John Simpson, privacy project director
of the nonprofit Consumer Watchdog, notes
that Googles ultimate goal is a car without
a steering wheel or pedals. This could prevent a person from taking over if a car loses

Gap says strong

dollar weighs on revenue
Gap Inc. says the strong dollar is
hurting its revenue.
The retailer behind the Gap, Old
Navy and Banana Republic brands said
Monday that its first-quarter revenue
fell 3 percent to $3.66 billion. It estimates the translation of foreign sales
into U.S. dollars pushed this figure
down by about $90 million, driven
largely by the weakening Japanese
yen and Canadian dollar. On a constant
currency basis, its revenue would have
fallen 1 percent.
The quarters revenue missed market
forecasts. Analysts surveyed by
FactSet were anticipating $3.76 billion for the period.

that the details of any accidents be made
public so people know what the hecks
going on.
Delphis accident report shows that the
front of its 2014 Audi SQ5 was moderately
damaged when it was broadsided by another
car while waiting to make a left turn.
Delphis car was not in self-driving mode at
the time, company spokeswoman Kristen
Kinley said.
Five other companies with testing permits told the AP they had no accidents. In
all, 48 cars are licensed to test on state
roads.

Gap is one of many companies struggling with the impact of the strong
dollar as sales in foreign currencies

Warriors solve Grizzlies to even series

By Teresa M. Walker

Warriors 101, Grizzlies 84

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Steve Kerr challenged his Golden State Warriors to ratchet
up the intensity to playoff-level. With MVP
Stephen Curry leading the way, they
responded and looked like the team that
cruised through the regular season.
Curry scored 21 of his 33 points by halftime, and the Warriors snapped their twogame skid Monday night by routing the

Memphis Grizzlies 10184 to tie the Western

Conference semifinals at
2-2.
Tonight we took a
step towards understanding that sense of urgency
Stephen Curry and kind of competitiveness and physicality to
the game, Kerr said. It was probably our

most competitive effort, definitely of the

series, but probably of the playoffs just in
terms of understanding you got to play
every second.
The Warriors hadnt lost three straight
games all season, and they never came close
as they took back home-court advantage.
Curry hadnt scored more than 23 points in
a game in this series, and he nearly had that
by halftime.

A walk-off for the ages

Athlete of the Week

Draymond Green had 16 points and 10

rebounds for the Warriors while Klay
Thompson had 15 points, Harrison Barnes
12 and Andre Iguodala 11.
We set the tone the first quarter and kept
the foot on the gas pedal the whole way, and
thats how we play, Curry said.
Marc Gasol had 19 points and 10
rebounds for Memphis while Zach
Randolph had 12 points and 11 rebounds.

Priming for
the playoffs
T

Ro Mahanty had left it all on the mound

or so it seemed.
Hillsdales ace right-hander had just finished firing seven shutout innings of onehit baseball. But as the Knights batted in the
bottom of the seventh inning amid a scoreless tie with San Mateo, Mahanty knew he
would have to turn the ball over to the
bullpen if the game went to extras.
So the senior took it upon himself to settle the score in regulation. In the final week
of what has been a legendary Knights baseball season, Mahanty produced the teams
first walk-off win of the year by launching a
two-run home run to defeat San Mateo.
It was one of the rare feelings you get at
the end of a game, Hillsdale manager James
Madison said. It was a rare moment for me
and the entire team. I dont think since Ive
been here weve had a walk-off where the
guys could pile up at home plate like that.
And pile up they did. The win was a pivotal
one in the scope of the Knights undefeated
league record. They would go on to secure it
with an 8-5 victory in last Thursdays regular-season finale at San Mateo. But last
Tuesdays walk-off at Hillsdale was the settling of a more personal score.
Last season, the Bearcats, with a run in
their final at-bat, celebrated a 6-5 victory at
Hillsdale. This year, the Knights were looking for payback.
We had made it as a team decision that we
wanted to put an emphasis on this game
because we didnt want to lose to them,
Mahanty said.
The Knights leading hitter with a .483
batting average this season, Mahanty dialed
into his fateful seventh-inning at-bat. With
Andrew Yarak on base, Mahanty got an outside breaking ball on the first pitch. He spit
on it, just as he did his previous at-bat. In
that previous at-bat, he got eaten up by an
inside fastball on the following pitch. And
he wasnt about to be fooled twice.
The last at-bat, I had popped out on an
inside fastball, Mahanty said. So, I kind of

he thing I like best about the

Peninsula Athletic League
Baseball Tournament is we nd
out which team is the best in the PAL, but
also the fact I am so familiar with all the
teams.
Unlike the Central Coast Section tournament, where you may know little more
than an opponents record and recent past
history, there is a familiarity with the
PAL tournament. The fact Ive been following these teams all year gives me, I
think, a lot more insight into a PAL tournament game, where I know both teams,
versus a CCS game
where I know very
little of one of the
squads.
So with the start
of the second-annual tournament getting underway
today, I gured now
would be the perfect
time to break down
the matchups.
Is three-time
defending Bay
Division champ Carlmont ready to take
the throne? Is Hillsdale for real? Can
Lake Division king Mills really compete
with teams from the Bay Division? All
those questions will nally be answered.
All eight Bay Division teams made the
tournament, with the top four
Carlmont (10-4), Terra Nova (9-5),
Burlingame (8-6) and Sacred Heart Prep
(8-6) all getting rst round byes. The
remaining four, Menlo-Atherton (8-6),
Sequoia (7-7), Capuchino (4-10) and
Menlo School (2-12), are all hosting
rst-round games.
Led by regular-season champion
Hillsdale (14-0), the Ocean Division
sends three teams to the playoffs, with
Aragon (9-5) and Woodside (8-6) earning
the other two spots.
Rounding out the tournament is Lake
champion Mills (14-0).

Serra falls in opening round of WCAL playoffs

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

St. Ignatius just has Serras number.

After downing the Padres 1-0 on the final
day of the West Catholic Athletic League
regular season last Friday, the Fightin Irish
turned in a repeat performance with a 1-0
win Monday at Frisella Field to eliminate
Serra in the first round of the WCAL
Playoffs.
A pitching duel between St. Ignatius senior Andrew Ferrero and Serra junior Chris
Apecechea, the teams took a scoreless tie

into the seventh inning.

But the Irish rallied with
three straight hits to
start the top of the
frame, capped by an RBI
single by senior Chris
Vollert to produce the
games only run.
For Vollert, the gameBrian Vollert winning hit marked an
auspicious homecoming. A native of San Mateo, Vollert has
plenty of history with current Padres players, many of whom he played with in ele-

mentary school at St. Gregorys.

This is playing at home, Vollert said.
All the fans, pretty much, we know each
other. Its a special thing to have the gamewinning hit with all my friends there.
Apecechea battled through some tough
jams to keep St. Ignatius off the board
through the first six innings. The junior
right-hander induced two double plays and
also left three runners in scoring position.
When St. Ignatius senior Luke Lotti led
off the seventh with his third hit of the day,
however, Serra manager Craig Gianinno
called upon his closer Nick Von Tobel. But

the junior right-hander suffered his first

blown save of the year after yielding backto-back singles.
Lotti advanced to second on a passed ball.
Then Jack Murphy singled to left to put runners at the corners. The Padres drew the
infield in, but Vollert hit a high, hard chopper over the leap of shortstop Calvin Riley
to drive home Lotti with the go-ahead run.
I knew the pitcher was throwing a lot of
fastballs, Vollert said. Once I got two
strikes I was just looking to hit the ball hard

Pablo blasts Sox past As in 11th

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Pablo Sandoval homered

leading off the 11th inning in his return to
the Bay Area, where he won three championships for the Giants, and the Boston Red
Sox beat the Oakland Athletics 5-4 on
Monday night.
Sandoval just cleared the fence in right on
an 0-2 pitch from Angel Castro (0-1) for his
fourth homer of the year and second in two
days, helping Boston win consecutive
games for the first time since April 20-21.
Matt Barnes (1-0) pitched two innings for
the win. He allowed Mark Canhas leadoff
walk in the bottom of the 10th before
recovering.
Oakland lost its sixth straight and fell to
a majors-worst 0-6 in extra innings this
season. The As are 1-11 in one-run games
and four of their last five losses are by one
run and seven of the past nine.
The As have their longest skid since
dropping nine in a row from May 22-June 1,
2012.
Sandovals longball was his only hit in
five at-bats. He grounded into an inningending double play in the second with many
in the crowd of 19,743 booing him.

He spent his first seven seasons with San

Francisco before signing a $95 million,
five-year deal with Boston in November.
Sandoval received his latest World Series
ring from Giants manager Bruce Bochy on
Sunday night at the Red Sox team hotel.
Boston had a chance in the top of the
10th.
Tyler Clippard walked Dustin Pedroia on
four pitches to start the inning. He advanced
on a wild pitch two outs later before Mike
Napoli lined out to first baseman Canha.
Stephen Vogt tied the back-and-forth
game at four with a sacrifice fly in the seventh against Craig Breslow, but no lead was
safe in a game that took 3 hours, 57 minutes
and featured 13 pitchers.
Mookie Betts hit a tying single in the
seventh as Boston got three straight base
hits against Evan Scribner and the Red Sox
went ahead on Pedroias forceout. As manager Bob Melvin then went to Fernando
Abad to face David Ortiz, who hit a sharp
liner to first that Max Muncy stopped with a
diving catch.
The Red Sox had lost seven of 10 after
concluding a 22-game stretch against the
AL East on Sunday.
Scott Kazmir didnt allow a hit until
Ortizs RBI single in the fourth.

somewhere, anywhere; make the defense do

something. I kind of fended off the pitch and
got a high chopper over the shortstop, which
did the job.
Apecechea took the loss, working six-plus
innings while surrendering one run on six
hits. His record falls to 3-3.
Our guys battled, Gianinno said. Im
proud of our guys. It doesnt reflect in the outcome or the score today. But Apecechea just
bulldogged out there again and just gave you
a great performance. He certainly pitched
well enough to be on the other end of it.
Ferrero was simply more effective as the
right-hander allowed just three hits to notch
the complete-game shutout. His record
improves to 5-4. It marks the second consecutive shutout for the senior, after blanking

Sacred Heart Cathedral with a four-hitter last

Tuesday.
Hes absolutely outstanding every time he
takes the mound, St. Ignatius manager Matt
Stecher said. Hes calm, hes composed and
hes very skilled. Hes got three pitches he
throws really well. And hes just a competitor. No matter the situation, hes just calm
and collected and goes out there and gets it
done.
The Padres got only two runners in scoring
position in the game, both with two outs. It
looked as though they would get another in
the seventh to mount a comeback. But after

hit a blooper to left field that was met with an

Giants sign LHP Ricky Romero
SAN FRANCISCO Left-hander Ricky
Romero, a 15-game winner for Toronto in
2011 who hasnt pitched in the majors for
two years, has signed a minor league deal
with the San Francisco Giants.
General manager Bobby Evans says the
30-year-old Romero will
begin at extended spring
training in Scottsdale,
Arizona. Romero last
pitched for the Blue Jays
in 2013, when he made
four appearances with
two starts.
An All-Star four years
ago, the pitcher was
Ricky Romero
released by Toronto last
month. He underwent season-ending left
knee surgery last June because of inflammation in his quadriceps tendon.
If Romero is added to the big league roster,
the Blue Jays will be responsible for all but
the prorated portion of the league minimum
on his $7.5 million contract for this year.
He is 51-45 with a 4.16 ERA in parts of
five major league seasons.
In his All-Star season of 2011, he posted
a 15-11 record and ranked sixth in the
American League with a 2.92 ERA.
Villaroman scorched a liner up the middle that
second baseman Jackson Smith nabbed with
a backhand and threw behind Papapietro at
first for an inning-ending double play.
I think we hit the ball hard at times, it just
didnt fall, Gianinno said. Tip your hat to
[Ferrero]. He did a good job.
With the win, St. Ignatius advances to the
WCAL Playoff semifinals Tuesday at Santa
Clara University. The Padres loss marks the
second consecutive year they have been eliminated in the opening round of the WCAL
tourney.
Now weve got to regroup and get our
minds set and eyes forward towards CCS
(playoffs), Gianinno said.

NFL suspends Brady four games

By Barry Wilner and Jimmy Golen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The NFL came down hard

on its biggest star and its championship
team, telling Tom Brady and the Patriots
that no one is allowed to mess with the rules
of the game.
The league suspended the Super Bowl
MVP Monday for the first four games of the
season, fined the New England Patriots $1
million and took away two draft picks as
punishment for deflating footballs used in
the AFC title game.
Each player, no matter how accomplished
and otherwise respected, has an obligation to
comply with the rules and must be held
accountable for his actions when those rules
are violated and the publics confidence in
the game is called into question, NFL executive vice president of football operations
Troy Vincent wrote to Brady.
The Patriots lose next years first-round
pick and a fourth-round choice in 2017.
Brady would miss the seasons showcase
kickoff game on Sept. 10 against
Pittsburgh, then Week 2 at Buffalo, a home
game against Jacksonville and a game at
Dallas. He will return the week of a PatriotsColts AFC championship rematch in
Indianapolis.
He would be replaced by Jimmy
Garoppolo, a 2014 second-round selection
from Eastern Illinois who won the Walter
Payton award as the best player in the FCS.
He has thrown 27 NFL passes, including
one touchdown.
Brady has three days to appeal the suspension to Commissioner Roger Goodell or his
designee. His agent, Don Yee, said the discipline is ridiculous and has no legitimate
basis and that Brady will appeal.
And if the hearing officer is completely
independent and neutral, I am very confident
the Wells Report will be exposed as an
incredibly frail exercise in fact-finding and
logic, Yee said in a statement.

New Giants OF
Maxwell keeps

GREG M. COOPER/USA TODAY SPORTS

The NFL on Monday said it suspended star quarterback Tom Brady for the first four games of
next season and fined the New England Patriots $1 million for its role in Deflategate.
The Patriots did not immediately comment on the punishments.
The league also indefinitely suspended the
two equipment staffers believed to have carried out the plan, including one who called
himself The Deflator.
Vincent wrote letters to the team and
Brady saying a league-sponsored investigative report established substantial and
credible evidence that the quarterback knew
the employees were deflating footballs and
failed to cooperate with investigators.
The investigation by attorney Ted Wells
found that Brady was at least generally
aware of plans by two Patriots employees
to prepare the balls to his liking, below the
league-mandated minimum of 12.5 pounds
per square inch.
The Patriots defeated the Indianapolis
Colts 45-7 and went on to beat the Seattle
Seahawks in the Super Bowl.

The fine matches the largest the NFL has

handed out, to Ed DeBartolo Jr., then the
San Francisco 49ers owner, who pleaded
guilty to a felony in his role in a Louisiana
gambling scandal in 1999.
Vincent told the Patriots the punishment
was handed out regardless of whether the flatter footballs which can be easier to grip and
catch affected the outcome of the blowout
win over the Colts. Vincent said the flattening
of balls probably began much earlier.
While we cannot be certain when the
activity began, the evidence suggests that
January 18th was not the first and only
occasion when this occurred, particularly in
light of the evidence referring to deflation
of footballs going back to before the beginning of the 2014 season, he wrote.
It is impossible to determine whether
this activity had an effect on the outcome of
games or what that effect was.

elimination. They got back their offensive

rhythm as well leading by as many as 26
points, and they had their best game shooting outside the arc knocking down 14 3s to
overcome 21 turnovers.

Mike Conley finished with 10 points and

seven assists but was 4 of 15 from the field.
Memphis pulled its starters with 3:00 left.
Game 5 is Wednesday night at Golden State.
The Warriors beat the Grizzlies to nearly
every loose ball, scrapping to keep their
dream season from falling to the brink of

Green looked like the forward who got the

most first-place votes for defensive player
of the year. He teamed with Bogut and
Barnes making the night miserable for
Randolph and Gasol with Bogut roving over
to the paint while nominally defending
Tony Allen. Green scored eight of Golden
States first 10 points.

Curry didnt take his first shot until 3:30

left in the first quarter, and he missed his
first 3 along with a layup. He settled down
and had seven points by the end of the period, including a 27-footer giving Golden
State a 28-20 lead at the end of the frame.
The Warriors outscored Memphis 33-24 in
the second, taking a 61-44 halftime lead.
Golden State is 20-19 all-time in Game 4s
dating to 1947. The Warriors trailed 2-1 in
the 2013 conference semifinals and won
Game 4 against the Spurs. San Antonio won
the series in six games.

SAN FRANCISCO Justin Maxwells 5year-old daughter, Liana, waits anxiously outside the San Francisco Giants clubhouse for
her father, long after the little girls bedtime.
There is no such thing as a regular schedule
for the right fielders three
children these days, and
thats just how he and wife
Loren want it. They decided to stick together as a
family for the entire baseball season, and that
means their kids are operating on a baseball schedJustin Maxwell ule: They watch night
games at AT&T Park, often
get to bed sometime just before midnight,
then sleep in until late morning.
It works for them, and Maxwell has provided plenty of memorable moments on the field
so far filling in for the injured Hunter Pence.
Familys everything, Maxwell said. To
have my family be able to go through these
life experiences with me in all the different
cities that weve been in, its great. Its something theyll never forget. Its something Ill
obviously never forget as well.
Theyre together, rather than living on
opposite coasts. The decision came after
Lorens 17-year-old cousin, Claire, was killed
in a car accident in February. That only further
put life into perspective.
In right field, the Giants havent lost a beat
with Pence on the disabled list recovering
from a fractured left forearm. The gutsy
Maxwell makes diving catches and even
crashed into the right-field wall making a
great grab in foul territory. His children get to
watch live, night after night.
Thanks to their school back in Maryland,
they could make this happen.
New Life Christian School in Frederick
allowed Loren to home school her kindergartener son, 6-year-old Jaidon, for the
remainder of the school year after baseball
began. Loren receives Jaidons curriculum and
sends it back every couple of weeks.
Jaidon and little brother, 3-year-old Jett, are
regulars running around the clubhouse whenever they can get inside to see their father.
The 31-year-old journeyman made the
Giants 25-man roster out of spring training
then earned himself a regular job. He has also
played for Washington, Houston and Kansas
City. His young family has seen much of the
country already.

decides to hold him back for a
possible second-round game,
hell have plenty of solid options
from which to choose.
The Vikings best chance might
be to have their starter shut down
M-A and hope to scratch out a run
or two. Jordan Ganim and Daniel
Walsh have been a dominant 1-2
punch on the mound this season
and either conceivably could go
out there and have a special day.
While Mills went just 1-11
against teams from the Ocean
Division (1-6), Bay (0-4) and
West Catholic Athletic League (01), the Vikings may be the most
battle-tested team in the league.

They punched way above their

weight class during non-league
play, built up a head of steam in
Lake Division play and are pointing at their rst win against a Bay
Division opponent this season.
If nothing else, it will be a
good dress rehearsal for what the
Vikings will encounter in CCS.
If Hillsdale goes on to win the
title, it will have denitely earned
it. The Knights open on the road
at Menlo School, the defending
PAL tournament champs. If
Hillsdale gets past that challenge,
the Knights will get the tournaments overall top seed in
Carlmont. The Scots have won
outright two of the last three Bay
Division titles, settling for a cochampionship last season.
Carlmont was bounced by
Capuchino in the rst round of
last years inaugural tournament.
Regardless if its a Cinderella
story that goes on to win the PAL
crown or a heavy favorite, the
fact that its decided on the eld is
the best part of the tournament.

New blood tests,

liquid biopsies, may
change cancer care
By Marilynn Marchione
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A new type of blood test is starting to transform cancer treatment,

sparing some patients the surgical
and needle biopsies long needed to
guide their care.
The tests, called liquid biopsies,
capture cancer cells or DNA that
tumors shed into the blood, instead
of taking tissue from the tumor
itself. A lot is still unknown about
the value of these tests, but many
doctors think they are a big advance
that could make personalized medicine possible for far more people.
They give the first noninvasive
way to repeatedly sample a cancer
so doctors can profile its genes, target drugs to mutations, tell quickly
whether treatment is working, and
adjust it as the cancer evolves.
Two years ago, these tests were
rarely used except in research. Now,
several are sold, more than a dozen
are in development, and some doctors are using them in routine care.
Gurpaul Bedi had one for colon
cancer that spread to his lungs.
About 10 percent of patients with
metastatic colon cancer at the
University of Texas MD Anderson
Cancer Center now get liquid biopsies.
I think its wonderful, said
Bedi, who lives in Atlanta and goes
to Houston for his care. A lung
biopsy, many doctors told me, is
not easy.
In Philadelphia, a liquid biopsy
detected Carole Lindermans breast
cancer recurrence months before it
normally would have been found.
Had this test not been available,
we may not have known I had cancer on my spine until symptoms
showed up, which may have been
too late for good treatment, she
said.
The huge potential for these tests
is clear. The problem: There are no
big, definitive studies to show they
help patients, how accurate they
are, which type is best or who

should get them and when.

Still, patients do better when
drugs are matched to their tumors,
and liquid biopsies may give a practical way to do that more often.
Im really excited about all of
this, said Dr. Razelle Kurzrock, a
University of California, San
Diego cancer specialist. I spent
most of my life giving drugs that
were useless to people because
there was no good way to tell who
would benefit or quickly tell when
one wasnt working, she said.
This is so much better.

WHO GETS TESTED NOW

The tests are mostly used when a
tissue biopsy cant easily be done,
when the cancers original site isnt
known, or when drugs have stopped
working and doctors are unsure
what to try next, said Dr. Scott
Kopetz, a colon cancer specialist at
MD Anderson. The tests are catching on faster than I anticipated,
he said.
At
Philadelphias
Thomas
Jefferson University, Dr. Massimo
Cristofanilli has used them on
about 120 breast cancer patients,
including two dozen like Linderman
with a high risk of recurrence.
A tissue biopsy typically samples one section of a tumor, and
tumors can vary widely, with different genes and hormones active in
different parts, he said. Also, cancer
that has spread often differs from
the original site, and tumors
change rapidly in response to treatment.
With a tissue biopsy, our treatments lag behind and theyre still
based on limited information,
Cristofanilli said. With a liquid
biopsy, the power of this test has
been to really find out how the disease changes, even in a short period
of time.

HOW THEY WORK

Early versions looked for whole
tumor cells in blood. Newer ones
look for free-floating cancer DNA,

Liquid biopsies capture cancer cells or DNA that tumors shed into the blood, instead of taking tissue from the
tumor itself. A lot is still unknown about the value of these tests, but many doctors think they are a big advance
that could make personalized medicine possible for far more people.
enabling gene profiling to see what
mutations drive the cancer. Kopetz
and Cristofanilli use one from
Guardant Health Inc. of Redwood
City, California, that has been sold
in the U.S. since June 2014 and in
parts of Europe and Asia.
Many companies are working on
similar tests including Sequenom, a
San Diego biotech that already
sells one for prenatal screening,
using fetal DNA in maternal blood.
Many companies tried prenatal
screening with fetal cells but it didnt work, said chief science officer
Dirk van den Boom. Cell-free DNA
really was the breakthrough that
enabled wide use, and the same
could happen with these cancer
tests, he said.

THE COST
Whether liquid biopsies will be
cost-effective
is
unknown.
Guardants test costs $5,400; some
insurers cover it for certain types of
patients. Gene profiling from a tissue biopsy costs about the same.
The promise of liquid biopsies is
that they can be done periodically
to monitor care, but more tests
means more cost.

They may save other costs,

though. A traditional lung biopsy
is thousands of dollars. Money
could be saved by skipping cancer
drugs that ultimately dont work;
many cost $10,000 to $15,000 a
month.
With cell-free DNA tests, even
doctors in rural areas can offer precision medicine because they can
ship a blood sample to a lab. We
think thats the future, said Dr.
Charles Baum, a former Pfizer cancer drug chief who now heads Mirati
Therapeutics, a San Diego biotech
company developing gene-targeting drugs

DO THEY WORK?
Many studies suggest that liquid
biopsy results largely mirror
those from tissue ones, and sometimes find more mutations. A study
Kopetz presented in April at an
American Association for Cancer
Research meeting found the blood
tests detected cancer mutations in
the vast majority of 105 colorectal cancer patients. For 37 percent
of them, doctors thought a drug
could target a mutation that was
found.

Still, no big studies show that

liquid biopsies give better care or
extend lives. Without that proof,
how much they will be used by doctors and covered by insurers
remains to be seen.

THE FUTURE
A San
Diego
company,
Trovagene, is working on an even
faster, easier liquid biopsy a test
to detect tumor DNA in urine. One
scenario: a patient collects a urine
sample every day for a week after
starting a new drug and ships them
to a lab.
In as little as three to five days,
you can observe dramatic changes
that suggest a response to treatment, said Trovagenes chief executive, Antonius Schuh.
Work on this test is still very
early.
Ultimately, liquid biopsies might
offer a way to screen for cancer
besides the mammograms, colonoscopies and other methods used
now. That raises even more questions, including when to call something cancer and whether it needs
treatment if there are only abnormal cells in the blood.

son and General Manager Chris Dehoff.
The Dehoff familys signature store on
Upton Street in Redwood City will remain
and absorb some of the San Mateo locales
employees and products.
Weve been there 30 years and its a situation with an escalating lease, the rent
keeps going up and unfortunately sales
arent keeping up, Chris Dehoff said. It
was a tough thing to have to do, but were
going to focus on further developing our
Redwood City location and were really
going to miss the Shoreview customers.
Key Market made headlines in September
after selling a $228.5 million Powerball
jackpot lottery ticket to a regular shopper
who worked at a nearby nail salon. The
Dehoffs received a $1 million retailer bonus
for selling the ticket; although its likely a
good chunk of the earnings went to taxes.
Some shoppers were sad to learn their
local market was set to close and concerned
that the Chavez Market and taqueria slated to
replace the Dehoffs may be too similar to
neighboring stores and resulting in a form
of retail cannibalism.
Theres at least three Mexican restaurants
already and a couple of them are struggling
to survive so Im concerned, plus theres the

housed, in coming years.
Officials have long been searching for a
site to house the alternative high school
that is accessible, offers more updated facilities and is closer to the homes of students
who populate the school.
Almost half of the students who attend the
alternative high school are eligible for free
and reduced meal programs, the average

[Market Fiesta Latina nearby]. Those

could very well be out of business in no time
with this coming in, said Kiethann Nelson,
a Shoreview resident whos been shopping
at Key Market for 17 years. Its very sad to
see someone leave after 30 years.
The shopping center run by Culligan
Management Company also hosts a Subway,
OReilly Auto Parts, several Latino restaurants as well as various service establishments such as laundry, dry cleaning and
beauty businesses.
Culligan Management Company chose
not to comment on its anchor tenant vacating.
Gary Larsen has frequented Key Market
several times a week for nearly 18 years and
also wondered if the Dehoffs replacement
would have unintended consequences on
neighboring businesses.
Larsen said he shops at Key Market not for
convenience, its out of the way from his
home off 42nd Avenue, but because of what
the store offers quality products and quality service, Larsen said.
I was very sad to hear that [theyre leaving.] Because I know everyone kind of personally in here. The butcher, the managers
and its almost like family, they treat you
like family, Larsen said.
Larsen and his friend John Anderson ran
into each other outside the store and commiserated on how their routines and holiday
shopping patterns would change once Key
Market closes.

I was really sad. Like Gary said, its family. If you want a special cut of meat they
took care of you, any issues, they took care
of you. From the owner all the way down,
everybodys really great, Anderson said.
Dehoff said the family motto has long
been to serve superior products and, as an
independent retailer, Key Market has the
flexibility to ensure customers receive the
best.
By being smaller, we can have better control on the produce we offer. The bigger
chains oftentimes buy big lots of produce
that they cant control the quality of. Where
the way we do it, we buy smaller amounts and
we can control the quality of what were getting, Dehoff said. So it sets us apart, it differentiates us.
While many dont mind paying a little
extra for superior produce or meat, there are
certain items that shoppers tend to buy elsewhere, Dehoff said.
Theres so many box stores, places like
us are selling less core items like laundry
detergent and paper goods, Dehoff said.
Weve got a core group of regular customers
that come and do the bulk of their shopping
with us and those are the customers we love,
the ones that keep things going. But unfortunately, theres just not enough of those
regulars.
Dehoff said the family is always looking
to expand and adapt to the market. At one
point, there were four Key Markets located
throughout the area, including one in the

Los Prados neighborhood that closed around

1986, Dehoff said.
In 2002, the family completed a remodel
of the San Mateo store and was able to add
new departments that were well accepted by
customers, Dehoff said.
Nelson said shes concerned about the
future of local business like Key Market and
wishes the city could do more to support
them.
If we encourage small businesses to come
in, then we need to support them in some
way, Nelson said. Otherwise, the poor
people spend their lifes money renovating
their business and then theyre out of business.
The Norfolk location is slated to close
after Memorial Day and currently has a sale
going on. Hopefully, Dehoff said theyll be
relocating as many employees as possible
to Redwood City where the family owns the
building and doesnt need to fear rising
rents.
Still, the San Mateo locale will be missed,
Dehoff said, adding he wants customers to
know how much we love that store.
We loved serving that community and we
wish we had the sales volume and accounts
to renew for a longer-term lease, Dehoff
said. But we do appreciate the great customers that supported us and shopped with
us for so many years.

of those who attend have failed in multiple

school settings prior to being assigned to
Peninsula, according to the report.
A majority of the students who attend
Peninsula come from San Mateo High
School, according to a district report.
Board of Trustees President Marc Friedman
encouraged residents to come to the board
meeting and express their opinion on the
future of Peninsula.
I think everyone will have different
thoughts and takes, he said. There are a lot
of interesting ideas and alternatives.
Friedman said it is likely that the future of
Peninsula will be coupled with the program
that serves special needs children in the district.
Some officials in the past have suggested combining Peninsula with the districts adult school, housed on the campus

of San Mateo High School.

But others have expressed disdain for the
proposal to co-locate Peninsula on the San
Mateo High School campus, citing concerns
regarding the impact that may have on the
existing schools culture.
The district is in the midst of a facilities
shuffle, as it recently entered into negotiations on a piece of Bayfront property on
Mahler Road in Burlingame which would be
used to house the district offices.
The 2.26 acres of land and 54,000-squarefoot office space in the Crown Building is
estimated to cost roughly $16 million.
Should the sale go through, officials have
considered using the site of the current district offices for additional parking at San
Mateo High School, where the district office
is now located.
In March, the board approved relocating
the districts only charter school, Design
Tech High School, from the Mills High
School campus to property owned by the
San Mateo County Office of Education on
Rollins Road in Burlingame.
A task force formed to address the needs of
Peninsula recommended that the district
develop a plan to improve the accessibility
of the alternative school, according to the
report.

Going forward, officials should provide

necessary resources to assist Peninsula High
administration to restructure the program,
according to the report.
Fewer students are voluntarily transferring
to Peninsula, due to the effectiveness of programs recently implemented at the districts
other comprehensive schools, according to
the report.
Friedman said he was unsure whether the
district would make a binding decision
regarding the future of the program at the
upcoming board meeting.
Im not sure that a definitive decision
will be made, he said. Maybe we will all be
on the same page, maybe we wont. We will
see what happens at the board meeting.
Also at the meeting, the board slated to
approve a contract for new Superintendent
Kevin Skelly. The proposed three-year deal
would pay Skelly an annual salary of
$275,000.
The San Mateo Union High School
District Board of Trustees will meet 7 p.m.
Tuesday, May 12, at 789 E. Poplar Ave. in
San Mateo.

Poll shows doubts on courts

fairness in health law case
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
and Emily Swanson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Barack Obamas health care law requires most insurance plans to cover preventive care at no
additional charge to patients.

Obama administration
closes preventive care
insurance loopholes
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON From contraception to

colonoscopies, the Obama administration
Monday closed a series of insurance loopholes on coverage of preventive care.
The department of Health and Human
Services said insurers must cover at least
one birth control option under each of 18
methods approved by the FDA without
copays.
Also, insurers cant charge patients for
anesthesia services in connection with
colonoscopies to screen for cancer risk.
President Barack Obamas health care law
requires most insurance plans to cover preventive care at no additional charge to
patients. That includes employer plans
serving about 3 in 4 workers.
The types of services covered generally
dovetail with the recommendations of a
government advisory panel. Also on the list
are birth control pills and other contraceptives.
But independent experts and womens
groups had recently found coverage gaps for
some birth control methods. Insurers said
they were trying to comply with the law, but
that federal rules did not provide enough
detail.
This has been a problem for women,
said Cindy Pearson, executive director of
the National Womens Health Network. It

seems like some insurers were trying to control costs under cover of medical management. Her organization advocates on
reproductive health and other issues.
Other services covered without copays or
cost-sharing include:
Preventive screening, genetic counseling and BRCA genetic testing for women at
increased risk for having a potentially
harmful mutation in genes that suppress
cancerous tumors.
Prenatal care and other services to promote healthy pregnancies. The requirement
applies to insurance plans that cover children as dependents.
Certain preventive services for transgender people. For example, a mammogram
for a transgender man who has residual
breast tissue.
On birth control, insurers will be required
to offer at least one no-cost option in each
FDA-approved category. These include daily
birth control pills as well as longer-acting
hormonal patches and IUDs, and the morning-after pill. The option provided can be a
generic, but if a womans doctor says a more
expensive alternative is medically necessary, the plan must cover it without a copay.
Insurance billing is notorious for breaking down procedures into different subcategories.
The new rules made it clear that patients
cannot be billed a copay for anesthesia during a colonoscopy.

WASHINGTON Many people in the

United States doubt that the Supreme Court
can rule fairly in the latest litigation jeopardizing President Barack Obamas health
care law.
The Associated Press-GfK poll finds only
1 person in 10 is highly confident that the
justices will rely on objective interpretations of the law rather than their personal
opinions. Nearly half, 48 percent, are not
confident of the courts impartiality.
That lawsuit should have never made it
this far, said Hal Lewis, a retiree from
Scranton, Pennsylvania.
If they rule for the people who are bringing the suit, it could be close to the destruction of Obamacare in this country, added
Lewis, who once edited a local newspaper in
his city.
Lewis is one of the relatively few people
13 percent who say they are closely
following the case, called King v. Burwell.
Opponents of the law argue that as literally written, it only allows the federal government to subsidize premiums in states
that have set up their own insurance markets, also known as exchanges. Most states
have not done so, relying instead on the federal HealthCare.gov website.
The Obama administration says opponents are misreading the Affordable Care Act
by focusing on just a few words. When the
legislation is read in context, its clear that
lawmakers wanted to help uninsured people
in every state, the administration maintains.
If the court sides with the plaintiffs, its
estimated that 8 million to 9 million people
across more than 30 states could lose coverage. They would be unable to afford their
premiums without the subsidies, which are
keyed to household income. A decision is
expected late in June.
In a twist, the poll found that opponents
of the law, who tend to be politically conservative, have less confidence in the
objectivity of a court with a conservative
majority. Among foes, 60 percent are not

confident, compared with 44 percent of the

laws supporters.
That is incredibly powerful that a court
associated with conservative views is not
well trusted by Republicans, said Robert
Blendon, who tracks public opinion on
health care at the Harvard T.H. Chan School
of Public Health. Blendon said the laws
opponents may be remembering the courts
2012 ruling in which Chief Justice John
Roberts cast the key vote to uphold the law.
Regardless of how the public feels about
the courts internal deliberations, a majority
wants the justices to allow subsidies to continue flowing in all 50 states, an opinion in
line with the administrations position.
Fifty-six percent said the court should
keep the subsidies without restriction,
while 39 percent said the financial aid
should be limited to residents of states that
set up their own health insurance markets.
Its less clear what people would want
Congress to do if the court were to side with
the laws opponents. A ruling for the plaintiffs would invalidate health insurance subsidies in states without their own
exchanges. Many of those states have
Republican governors and legislatures that
have resisted the health care law.
The poll found that a bare majority, 51
percent, wants Congress to amend the law to
make it clear that people are entitled to help
regardless of what their state leaders do.
But 44 percent prefer that Congress leave
the law as is and let states decide whether
they want to create insurance exchanges
that would allow their residents to receive
subsidies.
It suggests theres a political opening
for Republicans to offer a way for people to
continue receiving subsidies through some
sort of state arrangement, Blendon said.
State leaders would have to move fast.
Some legal experts say it would be only
weeks before the subsidies dry up; others
say its possible the administration could
continue payments through the end of this
year.
Ethan Levesque of Augusta, Maine, said he
is troubled by the federal laws requirement
that virtually all U.S. residents get health
insurance or risk fines from the IRS.

Last season of American Idol

set for Foxs 2015-2016 lineup
By Lynn Elber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The swan song of

American Idol and heavy doses of
comedy and sci-fi will mark Foxs
2015-16 season.
The once-blockbuster singing contest, which launched the careers of
Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood
and Jennifer Hudson, has seen its
audience dwindle and age. Idol will
come back next year for its 15th and
final season with returning judges
Jennifer Lopez, Harry Connick Jr.
and Keith Urban, Fox said Monday.
Ten new series will debut next season on Fox, including the comedy-

SURVEY

The

Steps
Advisory
Committee, which hosted a variety of
town hall meetings as the survey was
being conducted, is charged with
digesting the results from the public
outreach campaign and developing a
recommendation to the district Board
of Trustees to address overcrowding.
Board of Trustees President Audrey
Ng, who is on the Next Steps committee, said the results of the survey need
to be contextualized, especially in
regards to the preferred methods of
addressing overcrowding at Foster
City elementary schools and how to
best serve the North Central community.
Support for purchasing the Charter
Square shopping center in Foster City
and building a new elementary school
increased, and interest in moving the
Mandarin immersion program from the
College Park campus fell, among
those who took the survey after attending a town hall meeting.
Ng said the committee will consider
the survey results when making a recommendation to the board, but also
noted the value of considering the perspectives of all parties who participated in the outreach process.
We hear what the community says,
she said. But most of the responses
were online, and not everyone was at
the town hall meetings having that
same rich dialogue.
Survey takers responded to a variety
of options proposed to address overcrowding, on a point scale from 1,
which is I dont like this option at
all, to 4, which is excellent.

shows that network executives said
will allow for a run of episodes with a
midway cliffhanger a way to create
an event aura.
With the strong ratings last season, stars are eager to join in. Fox
said Chris Rock, Lenny Kravitz and
Alicia Keys will make appearances.
The stories weve heard for season
two already are just going to blow
away the audience, said Dana
Walden, Fox Television Group CEO
and chairman.

Renovating and reopening Knolls,

moving the Mandarin immersion program and using the College Park
school for 500 students from the North
Central community in San Mateo
received a combined score of 3.51
from those surveyed, compared to
opening a new school of 250 students
on the College Park campus, which
would leave space for the Mandarin
immersion program on the campus,
received an average score of 1.5, on a
districtwide scale.
Building a new two-story facility
with 18 classrooms on the Brewer
Island Elementary School campus, and
implementing a.m./p.m. kindergarten
classes in Foster City received an average score of 3.05, outweighing the
popularity of building a new school at
Charter Square or Boothbay Park.
The most popular means of addressing overcrowding in Foster City identified in the survey is also the lowest
cost option presented to survey takers.
To build on the Brewer Island campus
and shift the kindergarten program
schedule would cost an estimated
$16. 3 million, compared to the
expected $62. 2 million associated
with building a new school at Charter
Square, or $39.7 million to develop a
new school at Boothbay Park.
The largest discrepancy between survey takers living in different communities existed surrounding how to
address schools in Foster City.
Building on Brewer Island and
implementing alternative kindergarten classes received a score of 3.3
from those in San Mateo, much higher
than the collective score of 1.9 associated with building a new school at
either Charter Square or Boothbay
Park.
And though Foster City survey takers favored the same resolution, it was

by a considerably smaller margin.

Adding to Brewer Island only received
a collective score of 2.74 from Foster
City survey takers, followed closely
by building at Charter Square, which
received a score of 2. 44, and the
Boothbay Park was least popular
option with a score of 2.26.
San Mateo residents comprised
roughly 60 percent of those who took
the survey, and almost all of the rest
were from Foster City. Only 4 percent
of people who participated in the survey were from different communities.
Building a new school at Charter
Square became the preferred resolution
for nearly 40 percent of those who
attended town hall meetings, more
than the 33 percent who favored building on Brewer Island. Only 13 percent
of all respondents favored building at
Charter Square.
Similarly, support for moving the
Mandarin immersion program fell
from 90 percent of all survey takers
identifying it as the preferred method
of addressing the North Central community, down to 75 percent from takers who also attended town hall meetings.
Ng said those who went to the town
hall meetings gained a deeper understanding of the issues associated with
the variety of resolutions put forth by
the district in the survey.
We have students we need to house
and students we need to educate, she
said. We really need the community to
look at all the options, and say realistically what we can do.
Should the committee recommend
the district pursue a bond measure, and
the board elects to put it on the fall
ballot, trustees would need to approve
a decision prior to a deadline in June.
Ng said the committee could make its
report to the board as soon as May 21.
