A new group of successful
young adults who share interests
in social activism and communi-
ty outreach have formed an advo-
cacy group to raise awareness
about homelessness in the coun-
ty and encourage a new genera-
tion of altruists.
The Innvision Shelter
Networks NextGen Advisory
Board started last month and is
comprised of 12 highly educated
professionals in their early 20s
to 30s who have backgrounds in
tech and communications they
will use to educate the public
about homelessness in Silicon
Valley, said Karae Lisle, CEO of
Innvision Shelter Network and
founder of the board.
Innvision is a nonprofit geared
toward addressing and resolving
homelessness in San Mateo and
Santa Clara counties. It operates
18 facilities and serves 1,000
homeless individuals, children,
families and veterans each night.
Adam Klein, a 23-year-old
Burlingame native, graduated
from Stanford University last
year and is Innvisions strategic
projects associate manager. He
was thrilled to be chosen for
NextGen and to work with a
group of tech savvy youth who
want to use their talents to
impart change, Klein said.
When I heard about the oppor-
tunity to join the board I thought
it was an incredible idea to
empower youth in the area to get
involved with the issue of home-
lessness in San Mateo County. It
seemed like a great way to broad-
en our horizon and reach a seg-

New York college students
charged after dogs beer photo
BROCKPORT, N.Y. Authorities
say two students at a New York state
college were charged with animal
abuse after a dog was held upside
down over a keg and forced to drink
beer.
Police say one of the College at
Brockport students held the black
Labrador retriever over a keg and
apparently forced the animal to
drink from the tap during an off-cam-
pus party Saturday at a house in the
village, located 17 miles west of
Rochester.
Another student took a photo and
posted it on a Twitter account featur-
ing stories and pictures from parties
thrown by students enrolled at state
colleges in New York.
The two men, both 20, were
charged with torturing and injuring
an animal. They were issued appear-
ance tickets for town court.
The dog was taken by the local dog
warden.
Upstate New York girl, 5,
spends day at wrong school
SCHENECTADY, N.Y. Officials
at an upstate New York school dis-
trict say a kindergartner spent a day
at the wrong school after getting on
the wrong bus.
Schenectady city school district
officials say the series of mistakes
began Wednesday morning when the
5-year-old girl boarded the wrong
bus, which was driven by a substitute
driver.
At the school, teachers were
expecting a new first-grader and
asked the girl if she was that student.
The girl said she was and spent the
day answering to the no-show first-
graders name.
The mistake wasnt discovered
until the kindergartners mother
called her school to report that her
daughter didnt get off the bus that
afternoon. School officials say they
located her a short time later.
The district says its re-examining
its bus and new student procedures.
Police: Sick man lived
with dead wife for days
JOHNSTON, R.I. Rhode Island
authorities say a 71-year-old man
with Alzheimers disease and demen-
tia had lived with his dead wifes
body for at least two days before
officials entered the home this week.
Police in Johnston say the mans
67-year-old wife died a few days ago
and he wasnt aware that she had
passed. Authorities say there were no
signs of foul play.
Authorities say the man called the
Fire Department on Wednesday and
officials found the womans body
and a dead dog. The home was con-
demned because of what authorities
called deplorable living conditions.
The man was taken to a hospital
for an evaluation and officials were
trying to contact his family. The
medical examiners office is investi-
gating how the woman died.
Search on for biting
suspect in parking spot brawl
CHERRY HILL, N.J. The search
is on for a woman suspected of bit-
ing another womans finger amid a
dispute over a parking spot at a
southern New Jersey mall.
Police are still trying to identify
the woman who bit Tonya Knight-
Josephs finger outside the Cherry
Hill Mall on Saturday.
The 42-year-old Philadelphia resi-
dent says she was arguing with two
women who accused her of stealing
their parking space when one
attacked her.
Knight-Joseph says the attacker
was cursing, yelling, getting in her
face and hitting her. Then, the
woman bit her finger, nearly sever-
ing it. That was game over, in
Knight-Josephs words.
She says hospital workers who
took X-rays couldnt believe the bite
was caused by a human.
Police have released an image of
the suspect. They say she could face
aggravated assault charges.

Schools in the San Bruno Park
Elementary School District were over-
whelmed with awards with the announce-
ment of four schools receiving honors dur-
ing the same week.
About two weeks ago, the Belle Air
Elementary School and Notre Dame de
Namur University partnership has earned
the distinction of exemplary program in
teacher education and preparation from the
California Council on Teacher Education.
The district also received news Allen, John
Muir and Portola elementary schools have
earned Honor Roll designation from
California Businesses for Excellence in
Education. Allen received the award speci-
cally for being a higher poverty school that
is increasing academic
performance and closing
the achievement gap,
while the others were
honored for being high
performing schools.
It was a good week,
said Superintendent
David Hutt. All of them
are a level of recogni-
tion on our successes on
the part of student achievement. Its reec-
tive of the quality of partnership that exists
because of the commitment of the profes-
sional staff with families and students.
Belle Air and Notre Dame began working
together at the end of the 2011 academic
year when the school was not meeting the
achievement benchmarks. Under the federal
No Child Left Behind rules, it was classied
as in program improvement and, when a
school goes into its fth year of program
improvement, it must make some big
changes. Hutt contacted Robert Ferrera,
director of the multisubject program at
Notre Dame and suggested they work
together. Notre Dame students now spend
two semesters at Belle Air, matching them
with each Belle Air classroom master
teacher. Because of the partnership, each of
the schools classrooms has both a teacher
and student teacher creating a lower teacher
to student ratio. Last year, Belle Air saw a
50-point jump in state testing scores.
This award is very much the result of a
team effort involving NDNU, Belle Air
School and the San Bruno district ofce,
said Joanne Rossi, dean of the School of
Education and Leadership in a statement.
Together they have managed to achieve in
one year gains that normally would have
taken as many as three. Robert Ferrera, the
student teachers and the faculty and staff of
Belle Air have broken new ground in univer-
sity-school partnerships.
She added that all of involved in the part-
nership have learned a great deal about best
practices for low-performing schools and
the information theyve have collected will
help other educators in their efforts to
improve the performance in low-achieving
schools.
This potentially could help thousands of
kids in myriad classrooms for years to
come, she said.
There will be an awards ceremony March
28 for the partnership between Belle Air and
Notre Dame.

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

SANTAMONICA Drops of rain fell on
Josephine Millers 1920s bungalow a
watery relief in the midst of a punishing
drought. Instead of flowing into storm
drains and washing out to sea, an oversized
tank harvested the precious resource to keep
her thirsty citrus trees and vegetables from
shriveling up on dry days.
Across Santa Monica, backyard rain bar-
rels and cisterns are becoming fashionable.
Since 2010, the beach city has doled out
385 rebates to homeowners who direct rain-
water back into their gardens as part of a
broader effort to become water independent
that also includes cleaning up contaminated
groundwater and recycling water.
This is kind of a no-brainer, low-hang-
ing fruit solution for anyone, said Miller,
who three years ago installed a 205-gallon
water storage container, which resembles
an upright accordion.
California is gripped by historic parched
conditions that have desiccated farmland,
dried up reservoirs and forced rural commu-
nities to ration water. A welcome dousing
late last month did little to break the arid
spell.
Even before this latest drought emer-
gency, some agencies that historically draw
their water from the overtapped Colorado
River and Sacramento-San Joaquin River
Delta have taken steps to slash their
dependence on water from outside sources
and boost their own supplies. Past drought
woes, particularly in the late 1980s and
early 1990s, have forced some communities
to rethink where their water comes from,
and theyre increasingly realizing local
sources are insurance against future dry
weather.
Santa Monica, population 92,000, has
perhaps the loftiest goal: to completely
wean itself off outside water by 2020. The
city long depended on its groundwater
wells, but supplies became polluted in the
mid-1990s from underground gasoline stor-
age tank leaks and the addition of a fuel
additive.
The contamination forced Santa Monica
to buy most of its water from the
Metropolitan Water District of Southern
California, a giant wholesaler that provides
drinking water to nearly 19 million people
in six counties. Meanwhile, the city used
proceeds from settlements with oil compa-
nies responsible for the pollution to purge
the wells. The cleanup, completed three
years ago, allows the city to tap groundwa-
ter for up to 70 percent of its water needs.
About 50 miles to the northwest, the
semi-agricultural community of Camarillo
receives about 60 percent of its water from
the State Water Project a maze of dams,
pipes and canals that carries snowmelt from
the Sierra Nevada and transports it to points
south that it blends with salty ground-
water sources.
The city wants to cut down its imported
supplies to 25 percent before 2020 and has
invested in a $50 million regional treat-
ment plant that would pump and treat brack-
ish groundwater into drinking water.
We want local reliability and the ability
to control our own destiny, said Lucia
McGovern, deputy director of the citys
Public Works Department.
The Southern California port city of Long
Beach, which relies on outside water for 40
percent of its drinking water, studied the pos-
sibility of building a desalination plant,
which separates salt from ocean water. But it
was too expensive, and the city is now
focused on increasing groundwater supplies.
Arecent amendment to a court order decid-
ing groundwater rights would allow Long
Beach to pump more water. Its in the very
early stages of drawing up a multimillion-
dollar plan to build miles of pipelines to
move the water.
While maximizing groundwater is key to
cutting down on distant imports, which can
be ckle depending on the weather, its not
an option for every community.

Some cities seek water independence
High surf advisory
issued for Bay Area
A large swell brewing off the coast was
expected to bring big waves to Bay Area
beaches Sunday.
The National Weather Service issued a
high surf advisory for beaches from Sonoma
County to Monterey, where waves between
12 and 14 feet were forecast to hit the coast
in 16 to 18 second intervals.
Locally, breakers could reach 18 feet,
according to the weather service.
The high surf advisory stays in effect
through Monday morning, though higher-
than-normal waves could last into Tuesday,
according to the weather service.
Beachgoers were being advised to keep an
eye on pets and keep off rocks near the surf.
High surf can cause sneaker waves, strong
rip currents and erosion, especially on west-
facing beaches.
Death row inmate
wins fight for records
SAN DIEGO A death row inmate won
his public records ght against the San
Diego district attorneys ofce when a state
appeals court recently ruled that he can have
access to documents for his own investiga-
tion into the role race may play in how
cases like his are prosecuted.
LaTwon Weaver was convicted in the fatal
shooting of a jewelry store owner in the city
of Vista in 1992.
The district attorneys ofce had denied
his request for documents related to charges
against homicide suspects in San Diego
County between 1977 and 1993, U-T San
Diego reported Saturday. Weaver also
requested court lings that might show that
the district attorneys ofce prosecuted cap-
ital cases selectively.
Prosecutors argued that the documents
cant be released because they are investiga-
tory les, their disclosure would violate the
privacy of hundreds of defendants and vic-
tims, and Weavers request was overly bur-
densome.
The county said it would take an employee
a full workweek to identify the documents,
with an estimated cost of $3,400.
In an opinion published last week, a panel
of judges ruled that charging documents led
publicly in court are not investigatory,
unless they have been sealed, and therefore
should be released.
The judges also rejected prosecutors argu-
ments about privacy and the scope of the
request. The panel wrote that there is no
reasonable expectation of privacy in docu-
ments required to be led in homicide cases
and that state law doesnt say public records
requests must not impose a burden on a gov-
ernment agency.
Copter plucks stranded dog from cliff
SANTAROSA Arescue worker dangling
from a helicopter plucked a stranded dog
from a Northern California seaside cliff.
The Sonoma County Sheriffs Department
reported Sunday that a black Labrador named
Oreo somehow made its way half-way down
a 90-foot cliff along the countys Pacic
coast and couldnt get back up. With the surf
pounding below, a descent was not an
option. So the departments helicopter
dubbed Henry-1 was called in.
The dog was perched on a 2-foot square
ledge when the helicopter crew arrived
shortly before 2 p.m. PST Saturday at
Portuguese Beach, about 70 miles north of
San Francisco and about 20 miles west of
Santa Rosa.
After the scared dog refused entreaties to
climb back up, the decision was made to
dangle a sheriffs deputy about 100-feet
below the helicopter. After determining the
dog wasnt spooked by the noise of the hel-
icopter, the dangling deputy was able to
attach a rope to the dogs harness and pull it
to safety after about three minutes in the air.
Alarge crowd of beachgoers who gathered
to watch the rescue on the unseasonably
warm and sunny Saturday afternoon broke
into applause.
Oreo was reunited with his owner.
Henry-1 has rescued several dogs over the
years.
The Henry-1 crew launched knowing
from prior experiences that bystanders will
often put themselves in peril in an attempt
to save animals in distress and become vic-
tims themselves, the department said in an
unsigned statement.

RALEIGH, N.C. Defense attorneys said
Sunday that the Army will drop sexual
assault charges against a general under a
plea deal that marks the end of a closely
watched case that unfolded as the military
grapples with sex crimes within the ranks.
Lawyers representing Brig. Gen. Jeffrey
Sinclair said he will plead to lesser charges
in exchange for the dropping of the sexual
assault charges and two other counts that
might have required Sinclair to register as a
sex offender.
Sinclair, 51, had been accused of twice
forcing a female captain under his command
to perform oral sex during a three-year
extramarital affair. But the Armys case
against Sinclair crumbled in recent weeks as
questions arose about whether the woman
had lied in a pre-trial hearing.
The defense provided a copy of the plea
agreement approved and signed by a high-
ranking general overseeing the case.
Sinclair is expected to enter the new pleas
when his court martial reconvenes Monday
morning at Fort Bragg.
The married 27-year Army veteran pleaded
guilty earlier this month to having improper
relationships with three subordinate ofcers,
including the female captain who accused
him of assault. He also pleaded guilty to adul-
tery, which is a crime in the military.
Under the plea deal reached over the week-
end, Sinclair will also admit abusing a gov-
ernment credit card he used while traveling
to visit his mistress.
Defense attorney Richard Scheff said that
Sinclair is admitting to his mistakes, but
added that the general is pleading guilty to
behavior that likely wouldnt be criminal in
the civilian world.
After wasting millions of taxpayer dollars,
the Army nally admitted what its known for
many months: General Sinclair is innocent of
sexual assault, Scheff said. Brigadier
General Sinclair has admitted to mistakes that
are normally a matter between husbands and
wives, or employees and HR departments. Its
time to put this matter to rest.
The former deputy commander of the 82nd
Airborne Division, Sinclair is believed to
be the highest-ranking U.S. military ofcer
to ever face court martial on sexual assault
charges.
A spokesman for Fort Bragg commander
Maj. Gen. Clarence K.K. Chinn, who
approved Sinclairs plea deal, could not
immediately be reached for comment.
According to the defense, a separate
agreement reached with Chinn will dictate
what punishments Sinclair will receive. He
could face more than 15 years in prison and
dismissal from the Army, though the plea
agreement is likely to call for a punishment
much lower than the maximum penalties.
That part of the agreement will remain
secret until after the judge overseeing the
case, Col. James Pohl, conducts a sentenc-
ing hearing later this week. That process
will include testimony from about 20 wit-
nesses.
It was not immediately clear whether his
primary accuser will be among those called
to the stand. The Associated Press generally
does not name those who say they were vic-
tims of sexual assault.
Capt. Cassie L. Fowler, the military
lawyer assigned to represent the accusers
interests, did not respond to a message
seeking comment Sunday.
In a December letter, Fowler had argued to
prosecutors that dismissing the sexual
assault charges against Sinclair would not
only harm her client, but would set back the
militarys broader ght to combat sexual
assault.

WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama told Russian President Vladimir
Putin on Sunday that Crimeas vote to
secede from Ukraine and join Russia would
never be recognized by the United States,
as he and other top U.S. ofcials warned
Moscow against making further military
moves toward southern and eastern Ukraine.
The two leaders spoke after residents in
Crimea voted overwhelmingly in favor of
the split in a referendum that the United
States, European Union and others say vio-
lates the Ukrainian constitution and inter-
national law and took place in the strategic
peninsula under duress of Russian military
intervention. Putin maintained that the vote
was legal and consistent with the right of
self-determination, according to the
Kremlin. But the White House said Obama
reminded Putin that the U.S. and its allies in
Europe would impose sanctions against
Russia should it annex Crimea. U.S. and EU
sanctions are expected to be announced
Monday.
In the call, which came amid a heightened
exchange of decidedly Cold War-style rheto-
ric between East and West, Obama urged
Putin to pursue a diplomatic de-escalation of
the crisis, support the Ukraine govern-
ments plans for political reform, return its
troops in Crimea to their bases, and halt
advances into Ukrainian territory and mili-
tary build-ups along Ukraines borders.
Obama told Putin that a diplomatic reso-
lution cannot be achieved while Russian
military forces continue their incursions
into Ukrainian territory and that the large-
scale Russian military exercises on
Ukraines borders only exacerbate the ten-
sion, the White House said in a statement.
Even before ofcial results of the referen-
dum were announced, the White House
denounced the vote, saying no decisions
should be made about the future of Ukraine
without the Ukrainian government and
noting that Russia had rejected the deploy-
ment of international monitors in Crimea to
ensure the rights of ethnic Russians there
were protected.
Russia has spurned those calls as well as
outreach from the Ukrainian government
and instead has escalated its military inter-
vention into Crimea and initiated threaten-
ing military exercises on Ukraines eastern
border, the White House said, calling those
actions dangerous and destabilizing,
But with no military response envi-
sioned, and with U.S. and EU sanctions
apparently foregone conclusions, the
Obama administration slightly shifted its
focus to keeping Russia from encroachment
into Ukraine beyond Crimea, where it has a
large naval base.

NEWYORK As workers cleared some of
the last of the rubble Sunday from the site of
a massive explosion this week in New York
City, a pair of congregations gathered to
mourn one for its lost church and one for
two members who were killed in the blast.
At Bethel Gospel Assembly, tears mixed
with the sounds of gospel music as the con-
gregants remembered Griselde Camacho and
Carmen Tanco, two of the eight people
killed in the massive East Harlem explosion
that leveled a pair of five-story buildings
on Wednesday.
We feel the void, said Michelle
Robinson, the churchs business adminis-
trator. Both women were very active mem-
bers.
Tanco often served as an usher at services
and would greet her fellow congregants at
the door, Robinson said.
We are a family and were all just miss-
ing the big hugs she used to give, she
said.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said
the women were examples to all of us
because of the faith and spirit they demon-
strated.
We will not let you fall, de Blasio said,
speaking at a podium with a screen above
him displaying photos of the women. We
are all a family in the end.
De Blasio also praised the emergency
responders who felt the explosion and ran
into the fire, ran into the danger because
they knew they might be able to save one
life.
A fundraising drive will be launched to
help those affected by the explosion, De
Blasios wife, Chirlane McCray, told the
crowd. The money will support a relief plan
that includes a victims assistance fund to
go toward funeral arrangements, rent and
household expenses. The plan also
includes counseling and outreach to immi-
grant communities.
De Blasio also visited the house of wor-
ship being used by members of the Spanish
Christian Church, which had been located
on the first floor of one of the destroyed
buildings. After the three-hour service at
the Church of God a few blocks from the
blast site, several dozen members of the
destroyed church fell into each others
arms amid tears and faint smiles.
For some, it was their first encounter
since Wednesdays catastrophe.
Services remember those lost in N.Y.C. blast

SIMFEROPOL, Ukraine Just
two weeks after Russian troops
seized their peninsula, Crimeans
voted Sunday to leave Ukraine and
join Russia, overwhelmingly
approving a referendum that
sought to unite the strategically
important Black Sea region with
the country it was part of for some
250 years.
The vote was widely condemned
by Western leaders, who planned
to move swiftly to punish Russia
with economic sanctions.
As the votes were counted, a jubi-
lant crowd gathered around a statue
of Vladimir Lenin in the center of
Simferopol to celebrate with song
and dance. Many held Russian
ags, and some unfurled a handwrit-
ten banner reading Were Russian
and proud of it. Fireworks explod-
ed in the skies above.
We want to go back home, and
today we are going back home,
said Viktoria Chernyshova, a 38-
year-old businesswoman. We
needed to save ourselves from
those unprincipled clowns who
have taken power in Kiev.
Ukraines new government in
Kiev called the referendum a cir-
cus directed at gunpoint by
Moscow, referring to the thousands
of troops that now occupy the
peninsula, which has traded hands
repeatedly since ancient times.
The referendum offered voters
the choice of seeking annexation
by Russia or remaining in Ukraine
with greater autonomy. After 50
percent of the ballots were count-
ed, more than 95 percent of voters
had approved splitting off and
joining Russia, according to
Mikhail Malishev, head of the ref-
erendum committee.
Final results were not expected
until Monday.
Opponents of secession
appeared to have stayed away
Sunday, denouncing the vote as a
cynical power play and land grab
by Russia.
Putin insisted the referendum
was conducted in full accordance
with international law and the
U.N. charter.
Russia was expected to face
strong sanctions Monday from
the U.S. and Europe for going for-
ward with the vote, which could
also encourage rising pro-Russian
sentiment in Ukraines east and
lead to further divisions in this
nation of 46 million. Residents in
western Ukraine and the capital,
Kiev, are strongly pro-West and
Ukrainian nationalist.
Andrew Weiss, vice president
for Russian and East European
studies at the Carnegie
Endowment for International
Peace, suggested the confronta-
tion could intensify.
Russia is really turning its
back on the outside world and is
basically going to say to the
West, Now, go ahead. Show us
how tough you are. And the West,
I think, is struggling to come with
an adequate response.
The Crimean parliament
planned to meet Monday to for-
mally ask Moscow to be annexed,
and Crimean lawmakers were to y
to Moscow later in the day for
talks, Crimeas pro-Russia prime
minister said on Twitter.
Russian lawmaker Vladimir
Zhirinovsky said the annexation
could take from three days to
three months, according to the
Interfax news agency.
Some residents in Crimea said
they feared the new Ukrainian
government that took over when
President Viktor Yanukovych ed
to Russia last month would
oppress them.
Its like theyre crazy Texans in
western Ukraine. Imagine if the
Texans suddenly took over power
(in Washington) and told every-
one they should speak Texan,
said Ilya Khlebanov, a voter in
Simferopol.
Ukraines new prime minister
insisted that neither Ukraine nor
the West would recognize the
vote.
Under the stage direction of
the Russian Federation, a circus
performance is underway: the so-
called referendum, Prime
Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said
Sunday. Also taking part in the
performance are 21,000 Russian
troops, who with their guns are
trying to prove the legality of
the referendum.
As soon as the polls closed,
the White House again
denounced the vote.
The international community
will not recognize the results of
a poll administered under threats
of violence, it said in a state-
ment. Russias actions are dan-
gerous and destabilizing.
Russia raised the stakes
Saturday when its forces, backed
by helicopter gunships and
armored vehicles, took control
of the Ukrainian village of
Strilkove and a key natural gas
distribution plant nearby the
first Russian military move into
Ukraine beyond the Crimean
peninsula of 2 million people.
The Russian forces later
returned the village but kept con-
trol of the gas plant. On Sunday,
Ukrainian soldiers were digging
trenches and erecting barricades
between the village and the gas
plant.

OPINION 9
Condos at Taxis
Editor,
When will the city ofcials of San
Mateo realize some of their decisions
are not for the betterment of San Mateo?
Aperfect example would be the
proposal at the site where Taxis was
once was open for business
(Condos proposed for old Taxis
site in the March 11 edition of the
Daily Journal).
With each and every approval for
construction of apartments, condos
and businesses those approvals create
additional issues. As residents of San
Mateo, we must bear the burdens that
are created by construction. San
Mateo already has issues with trafc
and lack of parking. New construction
will increase both of these issues.
One of the issues we have dealt
with for many years is that of emis-
sions from the wastewater treatment
plant. Obviously, new construction
means the plant will be expected to
handle an increased amount of
sewage and household wastewater.
The plant is once again emitting
pungent odors almost on a daily
basis. This might indicate a problem
within the plant, perhaps more
waste than the plant can accommo-
date daily. Why are we expected to
pay an increase every year to the
sewer department when nothing has
improved?
We also face a restriction on water
usage if the drought continues. If con-
struction continues at the rate we are
seeing, then we will face higher water
restriction and charges will increase
dramatically. All new construction
will increase water usage in San
Mateo due to the use of toilets, show-
ers, bathtubs, kitchens, dishwashers,
washing machines and landscaping.
Our question is when will the city of
San Mateo curtail new construction
until all other issues with past and
proposed construction are mitigated?

Ukraine or the United States?
Editor,
The right-wing government that
seized power through a coup in
Ukraine did not have the legitimacy
to rule or negotiate economic recov-
ery plan with the International
Monetary Fund. Supporting this ille-
gitimate government is not support-
ing democracy. In the interest of
American citizens, President Obama
must abandon the war rhetoric and
seek a diplomatic resolution.
Persuading Americans to support
war is an art the executive branch
knows this too well since the time of
President Woodrow Wilson. War pro-
pagandists use phrases such as red
scare, war on drugs, war on terror-
ism, bringing democracy and
stopping humanitarian crisis to
subvert the democratic process. How
long do they expect us to be fooled
by these PR gimmicks?
The Washington Post reported on
March 11
(http://m.washingtonpost.com/blogs
/post-politics/wp/2014/03/11/few-
americans-want-rm-stand-against-
russia-in-ukraine/) that a Pew
Research Center poll showed 56 per-
cent of Americans did not support the
United States getting too involved in
the Ukraine crisis. Only 29 percent of
participants were rmly behind U.S.
involvement. Neocons, who master-
minded the Iraq war, did not go away
with the Bush administration. They
have inuence both inside and outside
the administration. According to the
investigative journal Counter Punch,
neocons in the Council on Foreign
Relations and other far-right think
tanks are behind this Ukraine crisis
(http://www.counterpunch.org/2014/0
3/12/big-oils-sore-losers-lead-the-
drive-to-war/). As the poll cited above
indicates, the public interest is quite
opposite from what these warmongers
want. It is time we abandon their reck-
less world domination doctrine and
pursue things that are most important
to Americans, such as creating decent
paying jobs, for instance.

How money walks
Editor,
California has the worst business
tax climate in the United States
because of people like Senate
President Pro Tem Darrel Steinberg.
He wants to put a 15 cent per gallon
carbon tax on gasoline so people
will cut down on consumption.
Thats what I call a social engineer-
ing, power-monger control freak
Democrat taxing plant food. What do
you say? Yes, plant food. Carbon
dioxide is absorbed from the air by
plants in photosynthesis.
We are already seeing people mov-
ing their businesses out of California

The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle
A
udits are a fundamental tool
to hold government and
quasi-government entities
accountable.
Without thorough examination by
independent parties, citizens would
have to rely on the agencys word that
its operations and accounting are
above-board.
When it comes to the activities of
the Federal Reserve, the nations cen-
tral bank, verbal assurances just
arent good enough.
Thankfully, momentum is building
for legislation to enable the General
Accountability Ofce to audit the Fed,
something that has not happened in
the 100 years since it was created to
set monetary policy.
The bipartisan Federal Reserve
Transparency Act passed the House
late last year. Asimilar bill co-spon-
sored by Sen. Rand Paul is making its
way through the Senate. The
Kentucky Republicans father, former
Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, a longtime
Federal Reserve critic, tried unsuc-
cessfully to get similar bills passed.
Though the proposed legislation
provides no specics about the scope
of the audit, there already is substan-
tial pushback from former and current
Fed ofcials, who are used to doing
most of their work in secret. Ofcials
fear, for example, that their closed-
door Federal Open Market Committee
will be subject to second guessing.
Transcripts of deliberations are
released ve years after the fact to
shield members from political blow-
back arising from policy decisions.
When government is nervous about
openness, it should make everybody
nervous.
We hardly would advocate micro-
managing Fed operations, but there
should be signicant oversight.
Deciding how much money enters the
economy, and under what terms, are
critical Fed responsibilities that
should be better monitored.
We need increased transparency at
the Federal Reserve. Considering its
massive inuence over the U.S. econ-
omy, its bureaucratic movements cry
out for consistent oversight. Thats
something all citizens should
approve of, regardless of where they
fall on the political spectrum.
Government simply cant be trusted
to watch itself, and neither should its
biggest bank.
Federal Reserve needs more transparency
Building in San Mateo
A
s you drive, stroll, or bike around the city of San
Mateo, you cant help noticing the many new
structures just completed or still in the building
stage. Most of the activity is in the rail corridor, between
State Route 92 and Hillsdale Boulevard. But soon the
emphasis will be on downtown and then El Camino Real.
On Delaware Street, near the former police station and
adjacent to the Arco gas station, 120 housing units are
going up. Sixty are low-income, or so-called affordable
apartments. The other half are moderately priced units, with
construction about to begin. At 2090 Delaware St., the for-
mer Bofors Inc. site, 11 apartments are under construction.
At Bay Meadows, several of the residential units are built
and already have lists of people waiting to move in.
Meanwhile, the large community park is a reality. Moving
north by the Hayward Park Caltrain station, the specic
plan for Station Park Green has been approved for 599
housing units and up to 70,000 square feet of commercial
space. The next step is for design, site plan and architectur-
al review. Meanwhile, the Hines ofce project, 276,000
square feet of commercial space on the former Telecenter
site has been approved but has not yet been issued a build-
ing permit to begin con-
struction.
***
Downtown and on Third
Avenue and El Camino Real,
the big question is what is
going to happen to the
three former gas station
sites. Two have been shut
and empty for years. The
third one came down earlier
this month. There has been
some interest expressed in
building residential on this
last site, but it is small and
parking is a problem. On
the northeast corner, a proj-
ect was approved for retail
and ofce space in mid-
2000. But the economy
tanked and the developers never picked up their building
permits. On the southeast corner, a smaller residential, per-
haps senior housing, has been discussed in the past but
parking again is an issue. Ron Munekawa, the citys chief
of planning, feels some of these parking obstacles could be
met when the Public Works Department completes the
downtown parking strategy, which hopefully could facili-
tate the development of these former gas station sites.
***
The hot topic downtown is the proposed Essex devel-
opment across from Central Park on Fifth avenue. The
project is receiving its public input now, mostly nega-
tive, but the council seems interested in doing something
with the Essex proposal, maybe in a modied form. The
development calls for higher heights of eight stories
rather than the traditional ve, providing there is a pub-
lic benet. Its the public benet which is attracting the
citys interest. It could pay for improvements to Central
Park, a new parking structure, etc. This project will be in
the news for sometime to come. Maybe an old idea, but a
sensible one, of turning Second and Fifth avenues into
one-way streets to accommodate trafc ow downtown,
will be revisited as the City Council, Planning
Commission and Public Works devise a new downtown
parking strategy and deal with the Essex proposal.

There are a few others worth mentioning. Arbor Rose is
the name of a new recently completed residential develop-
ment, including townhouses and single family homes, on
the former San Mateo Times site on Amphlett Boulevard.
On North San Mateo Drive, near Burlingame, at the for-
mer Shen automobile dealership, 158 apartments have
been built, a mixture of market-rate and low-income
units. This development is not in the citys rail corridor
but it is fairly close to the Burlingame train station. The
city took a nancial hit when the Shen auto complex shut
down. If you are driving on State Route 92 you can see
the top of Elkhorn Court off of 20th Avenue, which will
include 197 apartment and 126,000 square feet of ofce
space when it is complete. Lastly, 100,000 square feet for
ofce space has been approved by the former SolarCity
site next to the College of San Mateo.

Acontested judicial election in November for an open
seat is of particular interest because of contrasting
endorsements. The main contenders are Stephanie Garratt,
former deputy district attorney and court commissioner,
and Daly City Councilman Raymond Buenaventura, a crim-
inal defense lawyer. Prosecutor Garratt is supported by
most of the local judges and police ofcer associations, by
Sheriff Greg Munks and former sheriff and current
Supervisor Don Horsley (also endorsing Buenaventura).
Meanwhile, Buenaventura has the support of many
elected ofcials including his colleagues on the City
Council; U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo; state
Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo; Assemblyman Kevin
Mullin, D-South San Francisco; county supervisors Dave
Pine and Warren Slocum; and attorney Joe Cotchett. Is
this election really about whether prosecutors or defense
lawyers make better judges? Lets hope not. An ideal
judge is impeccably impartial and able to evaluate testi-
mony and evidence without prejudice.

WASHINGTON A small, four-rotor
drone hovered over Washington Nationals
players for a few days during spring training
in Florida last month, taking publicity
photos impossible for a human photogra-
pher to capture. But no one got the Federal
Aviation Administrations permission rst.
No, we didnt get it cleared, but we dont
get our pop ies cleared either and those go
higher than this thing did, a team ofcial
said when contacted by The Associated
Press. The drone ights ceased the next day.
The ofcial wasnt authorized to speak pub-
licly and asked not to be named.
The agency bars commercial use of drones
no matter how seemingly benign. The lone
exception is an oil company that has been
granted permission to y drones over the
Arctic Ocean, and it took an act of Congress
to win that concession.
FAAofcials say rules to address the spe-
cial safety challenges associated with
unmanned aircraft need to be in place before
they can share the sky with manned aircraft.
The agency has worked on those regula-
tions for the past decade and is still months
and possibly years away from issuing nal
rules for small drones, which are dened as
those weighing less than 55 pounds. Rules
for larger drones are even further off.
But tempting technology and an eager
marketplace are outrunning the aviation
agencys best intentions. Photographers,
real estate agents, moviemakers and others
are hurrying to embrace the technology.
Drones have been used to photograph the
two apartment buildings that collapsed in
New York City this past week and a car crash
in Connecticut. The AP, in fact, is one of
several news organizations studying the
possible use of drones.
Unless FAA ofcials receive a complaint
or chance upon a news story that mentions
drone ights, they have little ability to nd
out about violations. The ban was further
undercut this month when a federal judge
dismissed the only fine the FAA has
imposed on a commercial drone operator.
The judge said the agency cant enforce reg-
ulations that dont exist.
The FAA, which contends it controls
access to the national air space, has
appealed.
The use of commercial drones, most of
them small, is starting to spread to coun-
tries where authorities have decided the air-
craft presents little threat if operators fol-
low a few safety rules.
The drone industry and some members of
Congress are worried the United States will
be one of the last countries, rather than one
of the rst, to gain the economic benets of
the technology.
We dont have the luxury of waiting
another 20 years, said Paul McDuffee, vice
president of drone-maker Insitu of Bingen,
Wash., a subsidiary of Boeing. This indus-
try is exploding. Its getting to the point
where it may end up happening with or
without the FAAs blessing.
In Japan, the Yamaha Motor Companys
RMAX helicopter drones have been spray-
ing crops for 20 years. The radio-controlled
drones weighing 140 pounds are cheaper
than hiring a plane and are able to more pre-
cisely apply fertilizers and pesticides. They
y closer to the ground and their backwash
enables the spray to reach the underside of
leaves.
The helicopters went into use ve years
ago in South Korea and last year in
Australia.
Television networks use drones to cover
cricket matches in Australia. Zookal, a
Sydney company that rents textbooks to
college students, plans to begin delivering
books via drones later this year. The United
Arab Emirates has a project underway to see
whether government documents like dri-
vers licenses, identity cards and permits
can be delivered using small drones.
In the United Kingdom, energy compa-
nies use drones to check the undersides of
oil platforms for corrosion and repairs, and
real estate agents use them to shoot videos
of pricey properties. In a publicity stunt
last June, a Dominos Pizza franchise in the
U.K. posted a YouTube video of a
DomiCopter drone flying over fields,
trees and homes to deliver two pizzas.
But when Lakemaid Beer tried to use a
drone to deliver six-packs to ice shermen
on a frozen lake in Minnesota, the FAA
grounded the brewskis.

NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. In chilly
Massachusetts, maple season is off to a
slow start.
Maple season starts at the end of
February in a typical year. But despite
being well into March, temperatures have
been too low for the sap to drip out.
This winter has had more snowfall and
lower temperatures than normal, and tem-
peratures are not forecast to rise much
over the next two weeks, said Bill
Simpson, a spokesman for the National
Weather Service.
Many farms have yet to start tapping
their trees, said Winton Pitcoff, coordi-
nator for the Massachusetts Maple
Production Association. But its too soon
to say whether the late start will affect
the overall maple season, which ends in
April, Pitcoff said.
We could still have a very good season,
Pitcoff said. There have been many seasons
where it didnt start until late into March.
But drastically uctuating weather would
be bad news, he said. A gradual warm-up is
best for maple sugar production, he said.
Last year, Massachusetts produced about
63,000 gallons of syrup, ranking ninth in
maple production nationwide. Vermont pro-
duced the most with 1.3 million gallons.
Other states are struggling, too. The cold
weather has pushed back the start of the sea-
son in neighboring Connecticut, New
Hampshire, New York and elsewhere.
North of Boston, Turtle Lane Maple Farm
in North Andover began its 10th season last
weekend after nearly deciding to take the
year off.
Mother Nature has been quite cruel to us this
year, said Paul Boulanger, who owns and runs
the farm.
Last year, his small farm produced 110
gallons of syrup, but he said hell be happy
with 65 gallons this year. Although he
expects the season to be a disappointing
one, Boulanger says, he cares more about
participating in a New England tradition
than in producing a lot of syrup. More than
3,600 visitors took a tour of his farm last
year.

SACRAMENTO Three community
assistance organizations sued Gov. Jerry
Brown and other state officials on Friday,
alleging the state improperly diverted
nearly $370 million that was intended to
help homeowners struggling with foreclo-
sures.
The lawsuit filed in Sacramento County
Superior Court says the money was
siphoned off to the states general fund as
California wrestled with a massive budget
deficit and has never been repaid. The
money was part of the $25 billion settle-
ment between major banks and nearly
every state in 2012, with California
receiving the largest share.
H.D. Palmer, a spokesman for the
Department of Finance, said in a statement
that the administration is confident that its
budget actions are legally sound.
The suit was filed by attorney Neil
Barofsky, who previously was inspector
general for the federal bank bailout. The
suit alleges the money is needed to help
affected homeowners weather the econom-
ic storm that continues to sweep so many
families out of their homes.
As a result of these diversions, large
numbers of homeowners who are eligible
for loan modifications or other relief have
been left stranded, and countless fiscally
imperiled California homeowners remain
unaware of the full scope of their rights,
the lawsuit states.
Barofsky filed the suit on behalf of three
California-based community organiza-
tions that the suit says have helped thou-
sands of homeowners: National Asian
American Coalition, COR Community
Development Corporation and National
Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference.
The suit says the state can now repay the
money because it is projecting budget sur-
pluses in coming years. It asks a judge to
order that the state put the money into a
special account to be administered by
California Attorney General Kamala
Harris.
Harris helped negotiate the national
bank settlement and secure extra funding
for California. She objected at the time to
the money being used for other purposes,
but spokesman Nick Pacilio declined to
comment on the lawsuit.

Turning a tide of emotion is one of the
toughest things to do in all of sports. And
for the Burlingame boys basketball team
Saturday, the challenge was overcoming a
14-1 swing at the end of the first half by
visiting Miramonte.
The No. 4-seed Panthers came oh so
close, but in the end fell short with a heart-
breaking 78-76 loss to the No. 12-seed
Matadors in the second round of the
Northern California Division III tourna-
ment. Panthers senior Frankie Ferrari, a
burgeoning Burlingame legend, made two
3-point attempts in the final 10 seconds to
try and win it, but converted neither.
The first attempt was a legit chance from
just beyond the arc that missed short with
10 seconds remaining on the game clock.
The second was a desperation shot from
beyond half court at the buzzer.
As the latter faded wide right, the
stunned superstar point guard merely
stared towards the bucket as if in disbelief
that Burlingames epic run at a state cham-
pionship had just ended a mere three games
short of its mission.
I thought we were going to do it,
Burlingame head coach Pete Harames said.
But we couldnt hit shots.
Ferrari left his heart on the floor with a
pedal-to-the-metal performance on a night
when he simply couldnt get his best jump
shot going. Averaging 22.2 points per
game this season, he was just 10 of 31
from the floor and still tabbed a team-high
28 points. Despite Ferraris erratic per-
formance, Harames said he had no problem
with his 6-foot senior taking the final
shot .
I trust him. He knows that, Harames
said. That guy has more court sense than
Ive ever seen in a guy. I have total
trust. So whatever he decided.
It was the momentum shift midway
through the second quarter, sparked by
Miramonte guard Drew Anderson, that
defined the game. The senior notched a
double-double with 34 points and 20

Serra junior Trevor Brown powers to the hoop Saturday night as the Padres would go on to
down visiting Montgomery, 59-54, in the Northern California Division II quarternals.

When Montgomerys Kiel Long tipped
home Alec Ravens rst miss of the night
to give the Vikings a 33-23 third-quarter
lead over the Serra basketball team
Saturday, Padres coach Chuck Rapp called
a timeout.
What was the message to his troops?
Just keep cool, Rapp said. Weve
been here before. Weve been in
tough, difcult situations (before).
The Padres evidently took the words to
heart. After cutting the Montgomery lead
to 36-30, the Padres nished the third
quarter on a 10-2 run to take a 40-38 lead
going into the fourth quarter, where they
held off the Vikings 59-54 in the quarter-
finals of the Northern California
Division II tournament in San Mateo,
Saturday night.
Serra (22-8), the No. 4 seed, will go on
the road to face No. 1 Folsom in the semi-
finals, Tuesday night. Folsom (30-2)
routed No. 8 St. Ignatius 66-40, Saturday.
Sean Watkins, who battled foul trouble
most of the night, came on strong in the
fourth quarter, scoring nine of his team-
high 18 points. Watkins made just one 3-
pointer (in the rst half), but used his
muscle and tenacity to drive the lane and
either get a layup or draw the foul.
We liked that matchup and we went to
it, Rapp said.
Watkins scored eight of the Padres
nal 11 points, going 4 for 4 from the
free-throw line over the nal 15 seconds.
Danny Mahoney scored 13 points for
Serra while Trevor Brown added 11 and
Jake Killingsworth nished with eight
points.
Serra had to overcome a hot start by
Montgomery (26-6), who shot 60 per-
cent from the eld (12 for 20) in the rst
half. Raven was nearly unstoppable in
the rst half and Sam Averbuck couldnt

The surprises start right at the top of the
NCAAtournament bracket: Virginia is a No.
1 seed.
They keep going throughout the
matchups. Last years national champion,
Louisville, was seeded fourth in the Midwest
despite playing well enough to be consid-
ered a No. 1 by many.
And speaking of that Midwest region
Wichita State and Michigan are there, as
well, making it three of last years Final
Four participants all vying for one spot this
year.
SMU, the team led on a renaissance by
coaching lifer Larry Brown nowhere to
be found. And Michigan State, the team that
geared things up in time to win the Big Ten
tournament, is only a No. 4 seed.
The tournament begins Tuesday with a
pair of First Four games, and things get
going in earnest Thursday when 32 of the
64 teams in the main draw take to the oor.
As expected, Florida earned the top over-
all seed and is No. 1 in the South.
Undefeated Wichita State is on top in the
brutal Midwest, and Arizona took top
billing in the West despite losing to UCLA
in the Pac-12 nal.
In the end, the individual matchups mean
much more than the seeding details. Still,
some of the numbers the selection commit-
tee came up with this year were head-
scratchers yet another reason Warren
Buffett felt perfectly comfortable fronting
the insurance money to pay a $1 billion
prize to anyone who can ll out a perfect
bracket.
Wake Forest athletic director Ron
Wellman, the chairman of the selection
committee, said Virginias twin ACC cham-
pionships regular season and tournament
made the Cavaliers (28-6) the choice for
a 1 seed over Michigan and Villanova,
despite an RPI rating of 11.
Virginias total resume was very impres-
sive, Wellman said. They continued to
impress us throughout the year.

The casual high school basketball fan
can be excused if he or she is somewhat baf-
ed by the size and scope of the California
Interscholastic Federation state tournament.
The annual hoops extravaganza has
become a sporting goliath that embraces
307 secondary schools, both public and pri-
vate, and more than 3,000 student-athletes
from the Oregon border in the north to San
Diego in the south.
This year, the CIF playoffs, which con-
tinue this week, include six separate divi-
sions and about 20 percent of all 1,500-plus
institutions under CIF jurisdiction. The 307
teams are divided roughly equally between
boys and girls aggregations.
The 12 tournaments (six for boys and six
for girls) are divided geographically
between north and south.
The current northern and southern play-
offs are designed to come up with champi-
ons from both halves of the sprawling state;
these teams will then meet March 28 and 29
in Sacramento to determine the 2014 CIF
titlists.
In all, there will be a total of 295 single-
elimination games played over a three-week
period. Total attendance is estimated to be in
excess of 300,000. Champions will be
crowned in the Open Division (for teams
judged to be the best of the best, regardless
of enrollment) and in ve other divisions, I
through V, which are based on school size.
All of the entrants rst had to compete in
their own section tournaments. California
has 10 such sections, six in the north and
four in the south.
The northern sections include two
anachronisms stemming from the early his-
tory of state athletics, the tiny efdoms of
San Francisco and Oakland, which have

Palo Alto sophomore Owen Plambeck
crushed two home runs Saturday, power-
ing the Vikings past Carlmont, 7-2.
The Vikings (3-4) jumped out to a 2-0
lead in the second against Scots right-
hander Matt Seubert, but the senior settled
in to hold the Vikings offense in check
until the seventh when Paly broke it open
with a ve-run rally in its nal at bat.
Seubert was nails through six innings
and only got into trouble in the seventh
by virtue of a leadoff double and two
ineld hits. The senior worked 6 1/3
innings, giving up four runs (three
earned) on seven hits while striking out
10 and walking one. With the loss,
Seuberts record falls to 1-1.
Carlmont manager Rich Vallero was
upbeat about his teams performance
after the game and raved about his sen-
ior starter.
Seubert is an assassin on the mound,
Vallero said. Hes trying to go after
guys. Weve been talking this last week
about mental toughness and competing
when adversity is hitting us or were
behind. And they responded.
Carlmont (4-2-1) has one more non-
league tune-up on Tuesday, hosting
Kalani High School from Hawaii, before
opening Peninsula Athletic League Bay
Division Wednesday against
Burlingame.
Their pitcher, Seibert, is really
good, Palo Alto head coach Erick Raich
said. That slider is a big-time pitch.
With him on the mound, theyre going
to be really, really tough.
Palo Alto is really tough as well.
Despite a sub-.500 record, the Vikings
have played great through their non-
league schedule, dropping four straight
against four powerhouse programs to
start the year. All were low-scoring
ballgames, falling to St. Ignatius, 5-3;
St. Francis, 4-3; Serra, 6-2; and San
Ramon Valley, 4-3 and all this with-
out star senior southpaw Danny Erlich,
who has yet to pitch this season due to
a herniated disc.
Carlmont has been affected by injury
as well. The Scots cornerstone short-
stop, Aaron Pleschner, broke his foot on
opening day when he fouled a pitch off
his foot on his rst swing of the year.
Pleschner was especially missed in the
seventh inning Saturday, when
Carlmont played a groundball to short
into a hit that opened the door for Palys
ve-run rally.
[Palo Alto] kind of busted it open
there at the end but I feel like we held
our own, Vallero said. The box score
isnt going to look like it but you
take that away and were right there,
pitch for pitch.
Palo Alto led all the way after
Plambecks rst-inning bomb, which
came on a rst-pitch challenge fastball, as
the sophomore drove it well over the left-
center wall giving the Vikings a 1-0 lead.
In the second, Paly junior Phil Lewis caught a
hanging slider and drove it off the right-center
wall for a one-out triple. Lewis then scored on an
RBI groundout off the bat of Noah Phillips, giv-
ing the Vikings a 2-0 lead.
Carlmont got on the board in the fourth.
Facing Palys winning pitcher Issac
Kasevich in relief, Kyle Barret led off the
frame with a double then advanced around
the bases on a pair of wild pitches, cutting
the Vikings lead to 2-1. Carlmont had a
chance to tie it in the inning when junior
Aaron Albaum advanced to third base with
one out, but the Scots could not produce a
clutch swing of the bat to drive him home.
Carlmont would go on to twice strand the
bases loaded, and left nine on base
throughout.
In the top of the seventh, Paly sent 11
batters to the plate. The Vikings got an
RBI from Daniel Tacha-Fram to score
Lewis. With Carlmont right-hander Vinny
Bologna on in relief, Bowen Gerould
smashed a two-RBI double to plate
Phillips and Tacha-Fram. Plambeck fol-
lowed by launching a two-run homer to
left his second of the game.
Carlmont scored one in the bottom of
the frame. After loading the bases,
Seubert was hit by a pitch to force home
junior Julian Billot with the games
nal run.
Plambeck also threw the nal two
innings for Paly to close it out, earning
his rst save of the year.
We did a great job, Raich said. We
staffed it. Our guys made some big pitch-
es with a lot of runners on. Its about
scattering hits, scattering runners, leav-
ing them there.
There was a scary moment in the sixth
inning when Paly catcher Laurence Han
fouled a pitch off his face. Han was
immediately pulled from the game by
Raich and sent to the hospital.
According to Raich, Han should be OK,
but sustained two minor orbital fractures
of the eye socket and will be further eval-
uated on Monday.
Paly powers past Carlmont
NEWPORTBEACH Less than a week after opening day,
the Little League season in this Southern California beach
city has been indenitely suspended.
The Orange County Register reported that 700 boys and
girls registered to play baseball in the Newport Beach
Little League have been left to wonder when they may next
take the eld. The league includes about 70 teams for chil-
dren ages 5 to 13.
Organizers told the newspaper they are unsure why
regional coordinators put their season in limbo Wednesday.
The president of the Newport Beach organization, Gary
Borquez, said he believes the suspension may have come
because 14 of the 24 members of the board were coaches and
managers. No more than half can be managers or coaches
under league rules, and several managers resigned last week
when they learned of the suspension.
Our main concern is to get the kids back on the eld,
Borquez said. Little League is all about the kids playing
and having fun.
On Wednesday, the district administrator who oversees
leagues in the area emailed the interim director of the Little
League Western Region Headquarters and asked that the
Newport Beach league be suspended.
I have exhausted extensive time in trying to get the
president to take control of this situation, but my efforts
have been futile, which I believe are directly related to the
manager/coach ratio on the board of directors who are deter-
mined to customize the leagues program to their own lik-
ing and not consider the best interest of the players in the
program, District 55 Administrator Tamara Alexander
wrote.
Soon after, Borquez received an email from Dave
Bonham, the interim director of the Little League Western
Region Headquarters, suspending the league as of Thursday
and until such time as your organization comes into com-
pliance with the rules and regulations of Little League
Baseball and Softball.
Borquez said he has tried to contact the district but has
not heard back.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Aaron Harang
gave up a run on four hits in four innings
and Nick Swisher hit a solo home run as the
split-squad Cleveland Indians defeated the
San Francisco Giants 5-1 on Sunday.
Harang, who signed a minor-league free
agent contract on Feb. 15 after pitching for
Seattle and the New York Mets in 2013, won
his second spring start in a row as he makes
a bid for a spot in the Indians rotation.
The Indians scored a run in the rst inning
on a bases-loaded walk issued by Tim
Hudson. After the Giants tied it at 1 in the
second, Cleveland scored two more in the
third. Swisher led off
with his rst homer of
the spring and the second
run scored on a double-
play ground ball.
Hudson is trying to
stretch himself out, and
he threw 100 pitches
Sunday in his fourth start
of the spring.
He said it wasnt one of
his worst outings, command-wise.
I actually felt pretty good out there. I was
just missing on a few pitches.
I need to get the pitch count up. I need to
get my work in. I have two or three more
starts before the real thing.
He covered rst base on
a few grounders hit to rst
baseman Brandon Belt, a
test for the right ankle
that was broken during a
similar play last July that
ended his season with the
Atlanta Braves.
Its not graceful by
any means, but Ill take
it, he said of covering
the bag, adding that he
might get some residual soreness from time
to time but that it is nothing to worry about.
Left elder Michael Morse continues to be
sidelined with tightness in his calf. Second
baseman Marco Scutaro has yet to appear in
a game because of back soreness, but has
now taken batting practice and grounders for
four consecutive days.
Swisher, the veteran switch-hitting rst
baseman-outelder-DH, collected a pair of
hits, including his rst spring homer, as
well as a walk. His average climbed to .200.
Its nice to see him start to get back into
it. It looks like he is seeing the ball real
well, Mills said.

GOODYEAR, Ariz. Joey Votto and
Brandon Phillips homered to power the
Cincinnati Reds past the Oakland Athletics
7-6 on Sunday.
Vottos rst home run of the spring came
off As starter Sonny Gray. Billy Hamilton
had two hits for the Reds, including a push
bunt down the rst base line that caught
pitcher Josh Lindblom flat-footed.
Lindblom couldnt get to rst base to cover
on the play.
Hamilton stole second and third as
Lindblom fell behind in the count to
Phillips, who belted his second home run.
Hamilton also singled home a run in the
second.
Billy is that guy. Hes doing the things
weve asked him to do, Reds manager
Bryan Price said. Weve asked him to get
on base and make things happen. Hes been
terric. Hes done everything weve asked
for and more.
On defense, Hamilton made a diving
catch in center field of a line drive hit by
Alden Carrithers.
Derek Norris, one of three catchers in
the running for roster spots with the As ,
doubled home two runs in the first off
Tony Cingrani. That came after Norris
foul pop fell between Votto and catcher
Devin Mesoraco, who was charged with an
error.
It wasnt a great game but it was nice to
win, Price said.
Oakland designated hitter Yoeni s
Cespedes was 0 for 2 with a walk, drop-
ping his batting average to .111 .
As third baseman Josh Donaldson left
in the middle of the fourth with a minor
sprain in his right calf, according to man-
ager Bob Melvin.
STARTING TIME
Athletics: Gray pitched three-plus
innings after throwing four in his previ-
ous outing. He gave up five runs, three
earned, and six hits.
Consecutive singles by Todd Frazier,
Zack Cozart and Skip Schumaker to open
the fourth led to Grays early exit.
I felt I didnt throw enough strikes,
said Gray, who walked two and struck out
four. I was nibbling all around. I was try-
ing to treat this like a regular game. I
threw a lot of pitches, 69, around the
zone, just not in it.
Reds: Cingrani pitched into the fifth
but left with none out. He was charged
with five runs three earned and three
hits. He struck out four, walked three and
balked, which allowed another run to
score. Oaklands Billy Burns struck out
swinging but reached base on a wild
pi t ch.
I was overstriding in the first inning,
Cingrani said. I found my mechanics,
though. In the fifth my arm was dead.
Maybe it was because we had a long
fourth.
Votto, Phillips power Reds to 7-6 win over As
INGLEWOOD Irans wrestlers are right at
home in the Freestyle Wrestling World Cup.
Their raucous fans have seen to that.
I really didnt anticipate so many
Iranians here, 67-kilogram wrestler
Masoud Esmailpoor Jouybari said through
an interpreter. It was like being in Iran.
Hundreds of Iranian fans have packed the
Forum the past two days, waving ags,
chanting loudly and blowing screeching
horns for hours uninterrupted.
At times, the Iranian fans were so loud
they drowned out the public address
announcer, and they consistently drowned
out the fan groups of the other nine nations
competing.
My rst visit was to (the U.S) was to New
York last year and we had maybe a 10th of
all the spectators we have here, 57-kilo
wrestler Hassan Rahimi said. Im sur-
prised. I didnt expect to have so much sup-
port here.
The top-seeded Iranians have ridden that
fan support to great success, posting an 8-0
sweep of Armenia, a 7-1 win over Turkey
and a 5-3 victory over the United States on
Saturday and routing India 8-0 on Sunday.
Iran, the two-time defending champion,
faced Russia in the nal Sunday night.
Its been great. Our countrymen are here,
were not strangers, technical director Ali
Reza Razaie said. They encourage us and
were really grateful.
Jouybari has led the way for Iran with
wins in each of his first four matches,
including a pin and a come-from-behind 10-
8 victory over the United States Reece
Humphrey.

STANFORD For nearly a year, specula-
tion has surrounded Stanford coach Johnny
Dawkins and his future at the school.
Not that he let it affect his daily prepara-
tions. Sure, Dawkins acknowledged his
team needed to take the next step after
enduring devastating injuries, inconsistent
play and its share of late-game collapses
that kept the Cardinal from the NCAAs dur-
ing Dawkins rst ve seasons. Athletic
director Bernard Muir made it clear he
expected an NCAA tournament berth to
measure the progress of Dawkins and his
program.
No. 10 seed Stanford (21-12, 10-8 Pac-
12) earned an at-large bid Sunday to face
seventh-seeded New Mexico (27-6) on
Friday in the South Regional at St. Louis in
the programs return to the tournament for
the rst time since 2008 two years after
winning the NIT.
Stanford lands NCAA bid
Michigan is a 2 in the Midwest and could
need to get through Duke, among others,
simply to reach the regional nal. The top
half of the bracket includes Wichita State,
Kentucky and Louisville.
The last bubble teams in were Iowa, which
plays Tennessee in the First Four on
Wednesday; and North Carolina State, which
plays Xavier on Tuesday.
Sitting out was SMU a team almost all
the experts had securely in the bracket. Not
the folks in the conference room, who
couldnt overcome the Mustangs strength
of schedule: 129.
When I saw Louisville (was a 4 seed), I
kind of gured that they didnt have a lot of
respect for our conference, Brown said.
But we only can blame ourselves, thats the
way I look at it.
Led by Rick Pitinos Cardinals, the new
American Athletic Conference placed four
teams in the tournament.
And while the committee didnt show
much love for the AAC, it did dole out plen-
ty of at-large spots to the big conferences,
while only seven spots went to the mid-
majors. The so-called small schools took 11
slots in each of the last two seasons.
miss in the rst two quarters, as the two
combined to go a perfect 9 for 9 from the
eld in the opening half, with Averbuck
knocking down a trio of 3-pointers.
Raven was even more impressive, show-
ing his range and his game as he scored 10
of Montgomerys 15 rst-quarter points on
5-of-5 shooting.
He got hot early, Rapp said. We had no
answer for them.
Raven cooled off considerably in the sec-
ond quarter, making his only shot attempt
to nish the half with 12 points and the
Vikings leading 29-23.
Serra, meanwhile, struggled with foul
trouble in the rst two quarters as the three-
man refereeing squad called a tight one
might say ticky-tack first half. The
Padres committed their seventh team foul,
putting the Vikings into the 1-and-1 bonus
with just under two minutes remaining in
the rst quarter.
Serra is used to the rough-and-tumble play
of the West Catholic Athletic League, where
one usually needs to be assaulted to have
fouls called. Saturday, however, the refs
were calling the smallest hand checks.
Its hard (to adjust), Rapp said. You get
new refs (at the Nor Cal level) and the kids
arent used to that (tight calls). We struggled
with that in the rst half.
Despite the bushel of calls against Serra
in the rst half, Montgomery failed to take
advantage as the Vikings shot just 10 of 24
from the stripe, including just 1 for 10 in
the rst half.
In the second half, the Padres picked up
their defensive intensity as the Vikings
shooting returned to earth, nishing the
second half making just 7 of 22 attempts.
Rapp said a team cant count on a team
cooling off. The Padres needed to go out and
force the Vikings to shoot more poorly.
You never assume (a team will cool off by
itself), Rapp said. You have to cool them
off by giving them contested looks.
On top of limiting the Vikings defensive-
l y, the Padres also picked up the play of
their offense, shooting 11 for 21 from the
eld over the nal two quarters after a 10-
for-24 performance in the rst half.
After scoring 12 in the first half,
Montgomerys Raven added 14 more in the
second to nish with a game-high 26 points.
Serra, however, offset that with a complete
team effort over the nal 16 minutes of the game.
Tough game, Rapp said. It was a war and
we just made a few more plays in the second
half.

NEWYORK Agoal that did-
nt count in the Sharks victory
over the New York Rangers gar-
nered more attention than the
one that made the difference in
surging San Joses latest win.
Antti Niemi stopped 41 shots
for his fourth
shutout, and
L o g a n
C o u t u r e s
first-period,
short-handed
goal stood
up as the
Sharks beat
the Rangers
1-0 Sunday
for their sixth straight win.
New York thought it had the
game tied with 3:15 left in the
second period.
During a stoppage, all four
ofcials gathered at the scorers
table, and a lengthy video
review was conducted in Toronto
to see if Carl Hagelins stuff
attempt at the left post nudged
the puck over the line.
Numerous replays failed to
show the puck behind Niemi,
who blocked the view, but one
zoomed-in and enhanced picture
appeared to show the puck dis-
appear behind the post draw-
ing a huge cheer from the crowd.
Those yells turned to boos
when it was announced there
was no conclusive evidence of a
goal. Rangers coach Alain
Vigneault called over referee
Dan OHalloran for an explana-
tion he didnt really seem to
accept.
It doesnt matter what I
think. I dont make the deci-
sions, Vigneault said in a quiet
tone. This is not me saying
this, but some of my friends say
that they make it up as they go
along. Im just going to leave it
at that.
The replay that I saw, you
cant see the puck. Maybe I can
assume that if you cant see the
puck it is under the goaltenders
pad and in the goal. It has to be
conclusive and I guess they felt
it wasnt, so there is nothing
you can do about it.
Niemi and the Sharks defense
were the difference, unlike in the
rst meeting between the teams,
won 9-2 by San Jose on Oct. 8.
Niemi, who has 27 career NHL
shutouts, was particularly
strong during a Rangers power
play early in the third.
San Jose, tied with Anaheim
atop the Pacic Division, is 11-
2-1 in its past 14. In a 12-game
stretch against Eastern
Conference opponents that ends
Tuesday at home versus Florida,
the Sharks are 9-1-1.
Nemo was unbelievable,
Sharks captain Joe Thornton
said. That was maybe his best
game all year. He stole this one
for us.
Henrik Lundqvist made 28
saves but was denied in his rst
attempt to set the Rangers
record with his 302nd victory.
He equaled Mike Richters mark
Friday at Winnipeg, but couldnt
hide his disappointment in this
loss.
This loss is so painful in so
many ways, he said. We had
so many open nets, so many
chances to get back in this game
but we just couldnt get it in.
Then you look at their goal, to
give it up on our own power
play, and thats the only goal. It
just adds to the frustration.
New York, which lost for the
third time in four games,
dropped one point behind
Philadelphia in the
Metropolitan Division race and
into an Eastern Conference
wild-card position.
We denitely understand how
important every point is,
Lundqvist said. We played a
really strong game against one
of the best teams in the league,
but its hard to be positive about
a lot of things when you dont
win. Right now its about
points, its not about playing
great against good teams.
San Jose, which had 11 shots
in the rst period, recorded four
while short-handed and grabbed
the lead.
Couture took the puck away
from Mats Zuccarello in the neu-
tral zone, raced ahead of Brad
Richards, shook him off, and
beat Lundqvist with a backhan-
der at 11:48 for his 19th goal
second short-handed.
Felt good to get a shorty that
stood up for us, Couture said.
We have a great attitude as a
team and know how important
the last 13 games will be.
San Jose came out much better
in the second and held a 10-7
shots edge during the scoreless
frame. New Yorks next best
scoring chance came with 4:09
left when defenseman Ryan
McDonagh, seemingly with an
open right side in front of him,
had his shot blocked by the
reaching stick of defenseman
Marc-Edouard Vlasic.
Niemi was the main reason the
Sharks went into the rst inter-
mission with the lead. He
stopped all 20 shots fired at
him.
We played another great road
game, Niemi said after the
Sharks finished a 3-0 trip.
They came hard at us from the
beginning. With good reads and
some luck, I was able to make
some saves.
Niemi made two eye-popping
stops against struggling for-
ward Derick Brassard, including
a point-blank chance with 40
seconds left that Niemi kicked
out with his left pad. It had
Brassard staring at the ceiling
and shaking his head.

Bernardez ties it for Quakes in 3-3
draw with RSL
Victor Bernardez tied the game with his
second goal in the 95th minute and the San
Jose Earthquakes drew 3-3 with Real Salt
Lake on Saturday night.
Bernardez jumped on a loose clearance off
a last-ditch cross from Shaun Francis. Real
Salt Lake goalkeeper Nick Rimando went up
against Earthquakes forward Alan Gordon to
try and punch it away from danger, but the
ball barely made it out of the visitors 6-yard
box, allowing Bernardez to hammer it
home. The nal whistle sounded just after
the ensuing kickoff.
The draw extended San Joses unbeaten
streak at Buck Shaw Stadium to 21 games.
Joao Plata scored his second goal in as
many games for RSL, which had been bidding
to go to 2-0-0 under new coach Jeff Cassar.
Kyle Beckerman and MLS rookie Luke
Mulholland also scored rst-half goals for
the visitors
Chris Wondolowski also tallied for the Quakes.
Fred Couples wins Toshiba Classic
Fred Couples won the Toshiba Classic on
Sunday for his 10th Champions Tour title,
birdieing the nal two holes for a one-
stroke victory.
The 54-year-old Couples closed with a 5-
under 66 to finish at 15-under 198 at
Newport Beach Country Club. Also the
2010 winner, he made a 4-foot birdie putt on
the par-3 17th and holed another 4-footer on
the par-5 18th.
Colin Montgomerie, Bernhard Langer and
Steve Pate tied for second. Langer had a
chance to force a playoff, but missed a long
birdie try on 18 and settled for a 70.

rebounds, both game highs.
It was just another great game for Drew
Anderson, Miramonte head coach Drew
McDonald said.
Hes putting the game on his shoulders
a lot the time, but hes still passing to his
teammates in key spots for assists. He had
just an unbelievable ballgame in my view.
He just really stepped up. The kid has got a
world of heart, McDonald said.
Basketball isnt even Drew Andersons
first sport, as the senior was a second-
team All-Metro quarterback who surpassed
the 4,000-yard passing plateau in the fall.
He came out of football as the best quar-
terback in Northern California and he just
walked on the basketball court and hes
one of the best basketball players in the
Bay Area, McDonald said.
Much in part to the on-court chemistry
of Ferrari and senior guard Justin Gutang,
Burlingame stormed out to a big lead by
the end of the first quarter. Gutang and
Ferrari each had key assists in the opening
eight minutes. And as Ferrari hit his sec-
ond 3 of the game with 19 seconds remain-
ing in quarter, the Panthers were in the dri-
vers seat up 21-10.
But Ferrari went ice cold for the remain-
der of the half, shooting 0 for 8 from the
floor throughout the second quarter. Wi t h
the Panthers leading 27-18 with six min-
utes to go in the half, Drew Anderson
caught fire and absolutely took over the
game for the Matadors.
Midway through the second quarter,
Miramonte closed Burlingames lead to
27-24 on a Drew Anderson field goal. The
Panthers relied on the post presence of
senior center Nick Loew to hold the
Matadors at bay. Loew responded to the
Miramonte footsteps by converting on a
three-point play to bump the Burlingame
lead to 30-24. On the ensuing Matadors
possession, Loew tabbed a steal to help
put the Panthers up by eight.
But Miramonte still managed to close
the gap and with a minute remaining in the
half, Drew Anderson hit one of his four 3-
pointers on the night to give the Matadors
a 35-33 advantage. And the Matadors rode
the wave of momentum as Drew Andersons
little brother, sophomore Ryan Anderson,
went on a tear in the final minute of the
half by tabbing a steal and a layup with 15
seconds remaining. He then immediately
grabbed another steal and drew a foul, con-
verting 1-of-2 free throws to close the
half, giving Miramonte a 38-33 lead
finishing the half on a 14-1 run.
In the second half, Gutang emerged as a
force from the get-go and tried to wrestle
back the momentum for Burlingame. The
Panthers third leading scorer at 10.8
points per game this season, Gutang nearly
matched that with 10 third-quarter points.
He would go on to nish the night with 21
points, eight rebounds, and two steals.
With 3:41 remaining in the third quarter,
Burlingame closed the Miramonte lead to
47-45 as Gutang notched his second steal
and dashed to the hoop on a fast break for
2. At the start of the fourth quarter, Gutang
hit a clutch bucket to finally catch the
Matadors at 61-61.
From that point, the lead seesawed five
times, with Ferrari going on a blistering
run within a span of a minute by hitting a
3 to close Miramontes lead to 65-64 then
converting on a pull-up jumper on the fol-
lowing possession to give Burlingame a
66-65 edge. With 4:21 remaining, he fired
another 3 to give the Panthers a 69-65
advantage.
But Miramonte guard Joey Goodreault
answered with a pair of 3s of his own to
close Burlingames lead to 73-72. After a
back-and-forth slugfest in the final two
minuteswhich Burlingame had to go
without Loew, who fouled out with 2:13
remaining Miramonte hit a pair of free
throws to take a 77-76 lead with 10 sec-
onds remaining and would hold
Burlingame in check until the buzzer.
With the win, Miramonte advances to
the Nor Cal semifinals to face No. 9-seed
Sir Francis Drake, Tuesday.
In finishing three games shy of a shot at
a state championship, Burlingame closes
the 2013-14 season with a 26-5 record.
It was a fantastic season, Harames
said. [I] enjoyed the kids great kids
I thought great accomplishments. Were
disappointed. We thought we could do
some damage. I thought we had a chance to
go all the way.
Harames last advanced to the state cham-
pionship in 1995 as the head coach of
Capuchino, when the Mustangs lost in the
championship game by one point to
Verbum Dei
HOOPS
only 19 schools between them.
Their separate status highly valued
because, frequently, the top two teams (both
boys and girls) from both cities receive
coveted automatic bids into the CIF basket-
ball event remains a point of some con-
tention in certain quarters.
Still, efforts to fold San Franciscos
Academic Athletic Association and the
Oakland Athletic League into the Central
Coast Section (of which San Mateo County
schools are a part) and North Coast Section,
respectively, have come to naught. Politics
tend to trump any and all arguments.
An example of the dated reality of the
pairs favored situation is the fact that the
Southern Section in the southern half of the
state has nearly as many schools as the
entire northern half of the state combined,
close to 600.
Which means the Southern Section is
about 30 times larger than the San
Francisco and Oakland sections combined.
The CIF was created in Los Angeles by
public school principals a century ago. It
grew as the state grew.
Today, CIF, operating out of its adminis-
trative ofce in Sacramento, conducts state
championship competition in football,
wrestling, girls volleyball, golf, track and
eld, cross-country and basketball.
The rst state champion in basketball
was crowned in 1916. That competition
lasted until 1928 when it was terminated.
The state tournament was not re-instituted
until 1981 when girls basketball was
included for the rst time.
Within seven years, those playoffs had
expanded to ve divisions. Last year, the
Open Division was added as well.
The entire tournament exercise is a com-
plex undertaking. The state nals handbook
alone is 23 pages in length.

Edwards leads Ford
sweep at rain-soaked Bristol
BRISTOL, Tenn. Carl Edwards
claimed a rain-soaked win at
Bristol Motor Speedway, where
weather wreaked havoc on yet
another Sprint Cup race.
The rain caused two delays last-
ing more than ve hours one
that delayed the start Sunday by
almost two hours, and another that
stopped the race for 3 hours, 18
minutes. But when the drivers got
on the track, they raced fast and
furious.
Much like the season-opening
Daytona 500, which was stopped
by rain for almost six hours, the
threat of more bad weather bring-
ing a sudden halt to the race
forced the drivers to go hard every
single lap.
So when a caution with 77 laps
remaining sent most of the eld to
pit road, Edwards crew chief,
Jimmy Fennig, made the call to
leave his driver on the track. The
move gave Edwards the lead on the
restart with 70 laps remaining.
He had no trouble pulling out to
an easy lead and had victory in
sight when the yellow caution
lights came on with two laps
remaining. No one was sure what
the caution was for and Fennig
even wondered if water damage
might have inadvertently caused
the lights to turn on.
Then the sky suddenly opened
and NASCAR had no choice but to
declare the race over.
NASCAR said after the race that
someone in the ag-stand acciden-
tally leaned on a switch to trigger
the lights.

T
his week marks a special anniver-
sary. Ten years ago, Alice Radio
personality Hooman (a native son,
born and raised in San Mateo) visited our
Spay/Neuter Clinics surgery room for a
whacky segment. He broadcast what was
undoubtedly the rst and probably still,
the only live neuter surgery. He stood
beside our veterinarian and described the
action, snip by snip. By the end of the
brief procedure, callers wanted to neuter
Hooman! The segments goal was to draw
awareness to this simple, vital surgery for
pet owners and let them know that they
have low-cost options. We charge so little
that we actually lose money on every pro-
cedure! But, its the right thing for a
humane society to do. Making the surger-
ies affordable to all residents means fewer
unwanted litters will be born and fewer
unwanted dogs and cats will enter shelters.
For this years big event, we will have our
vet perform a neuter surgery blindfolded to
show you how simple it is. Just kidding!
No whacky gimmick, no neutering of
local radio personalities. Just some facts.
In more than 90 percent of serious dog
bites and attacks, the attacking dog is a
male who has not been xed. Neutered
dogs or cats cannot get testicular cancer,
and spayed females dogs and cats
eliminate or greatly reduce the chance of
getting ovarian or uterine cancer. Last
fact: our low-cost Spay/Neuter Clinic is
your least expensive local option for
spay/neuter. The fee to x a cat, for exam-
ple, is $50 or $60 (for females). For dogs,
its $95 to $150, with large females on
the high end. Some pet owners assume
these rates equate to a drop in quality. If
anything, its the opposite. Our vets per-
form these surgeries all the time its our
specialty. And, just like when you are
looking to get Lasik surgery or a hip
replacement, you want a doc whos done it
many times. Please call 650/340-7015.

Camino Real in Burlingame, across from the
Mills Dairy Farm on the eastern side. The
dairy no longer milked cows and other farm
activity had also ceased, although the Silva
boys, grandsons of early settler Custodio
Silva, operated their horse stables there.
The tunnel that was under El Camino Real
allowed the farm animals access to the west-
ern thousand acres of the Mills Estate for
grazing, avoiding having to cross the high-
way. Mike ambled over to these men and
asked them what they were doing with the
equipment they had set up. Surveying the
site for a hospital, they replied. Mike was
shocked. He had not heard of this develop-
ment. The next year Mike was no longer able
to raise his owers on this section of the
Peninsula.
The land was leveled by bulldozers and a
four-story concrete community-owned hos-
pital was constructed at 1783 El Camino Real
in Burlingame. It opened in March 1954. The
need for a new hospital facility had been
growing since the explosion of population
after World War II ended.
Ever since 1908, Mills Memorial Hospital
with its six beds in San Mateo had been the
main hospital in the area. Asmaller facility
was in operation in South San Francisco, and
a sort-of makeshift facility existed in San
Bruno. The Benito House on San Benito
Avenue in San Bruno delivered babies and
tended to minor medical needs before it
became an orphanage for French orphans
from San Francisco.
For more extensive medical needs, an hour-
long trip had to be undertaken to get to San
Franciscos well-staffed hospitals. D.O.
Mills daughter, Elizabeth Mills Reed, donat-
ed land for what was then called a nurses sta-
tion on property she owned by the San
Mateo House in the early 1900s in San
Mateo. That small facility blossomed into a
full-edged hospital, Mills Hospital, that
served the entire area.
A county public hospital in Beresford
(southern San Mateo) had been built in the
1920s to help people who needed medical
attention, but could not afford it. Now, how-
ever, both were being overtaxed with the
post-World War II inux of people.
The Peninsula Healthcare District was
formed and this 26-acre piece of Mills prop-
erty in Burlingame could help alleviate the
needed health services.
At a cost of $4,250,000, this four-story
hospital was to have some 150 beds with
state-of-the-art facilities, making it a rst-
class hospital of which the community would
be proud. Extra basic facilities were being
built into the structure to facilitate future
expansion. A staff of 200-plus was needed
and was being recruited for the early spring
1954 opening. The average cost of stay in a
four-bed ward was to be $17.50 per day. A
two-bed room was $18.50 per day and a pri-
vate room was $25 per day.
In the rst four days after opening, 40
patients checked into the hospital and eight
emergency operations were performed. A
thousand people inspected the hospital the
day before the dedication day, which attracted
5,000 more visitors. One of the rst babies
born at the hospital and the rst San Bruno
baby to be born here was Michael Steven,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Victor Schaukowitch.
At the same time as the main hospital was
being built, a smaller one-story building was
constructed facing El Camino Real (next to the
El Camino Real exit of the hospital) and was to
be used for the San Mateo County Blood Bank.
Another two-story building to be used for
ofces was constructed at 1515 Trousdale Drive
at the corner of El Camino Real).
In 1960, the four-story hospital was
enlarged by adding the fth, sixth, seventh
and eighth oors. The total bed capacity was
now 374, and the Peninsula Hospital
changed its name to Peninsula Hospital and
Medical Center.
In 1994, Bill 1953 was passed that man-
dated stricter safety standards for hospitals in
California. A seismic retrot for Peninsula
Hospital was deemed too expensive.
Building of the new facility was begun in
the early 2000s. The 55-plus year hospital
was demolished in 2012.

Fredricks appears in the Monday edition of

New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio will
become the rst mayor in decades to sit out
the traditional march Monday because
parade organizers refuse to let participants
carry pro-gay signs. Boston Mayor Martin
Walsh wasnt marching in his citys parade
Sunday, either, after talks broke down that
would have allowed a gay group to march.
Still, thousands of green-clad spectators
came out for the parade in Boston, and a
similar scene played out in downtown
Philadelphia.
In Georgia, the dome of Savannahs City
Hall will be lit green, and several thousand
people braved temperatures in the teens on
Sunday to march with pipe and drum bands
in Detroit and Bay City, Mich.
In Ireland, St. Patricks Day provides the
launch of the countrys annual push for
tourism, a big part of the rural economy.
To Irish people by birth or descent, wher-
ever they may be in the world, and to those
who simply consider themselves to be
friends of Ireland, I wish each and every one
of you a happy, peaceful and authentically
Irish St. Patricks Day, Irish President
Michael D. Higgins, the ceremonial head of
state and guest of honor at Mondays parade
in Dublin, said in a statement.
Irelands head of government, Enda
Kenny, became the rst Irish prime minister
to attend Bostons annual St. Patricks Day
breakfast Sunday.
But Kenny has resisted pressure, in both
Ireland and America, to support the gay
rights lobbys demand to have equal rights
to parade on St. Patricks Day and he
planned to march Monday in New York.
The St. Patricks Day parade (in New
York) is a parade about our Irishness and not
about sexuality, and I would be happy to
participate in it, he said in Dublin before
leaving for a six-day trip to the U.S.
Parade organizers have said gay groups
are not prohibited from marching, but are
not allowed to carry gay-friendly signs or
identify themselves as LGBT.
Some LGBT groups plan to protest the
parade along Manhattans Fifth Avenue on
Monday. Others will gather at the citys his-
torically signicant Stonewall Inn, where
the gay rights movement was born, to dump
Guinness beer from its shelves in protest of
the beer companys parade sponsorship.
St. Pats festivities kick off, but tensions in U.S.

Gay rights advocates prepare to march in an equality parade immediately after the annual
South Boston St. Patrick's Day parade in Boston, Massachusetts.
LOS ANGELES Chasing down the top
spot at the box ofce after debuting at No. 2
last week, Mr. Peabody & Sherman took
the lead in its second weekend.
The DreamWorks animated lm about the
time-traveling adventures of a genius dog
and the human son he adopted earned $21.2
million, according to studio estimates
Sunday. The 3-D kiddie-jaunt features voices
from Modern Family stars Ty Burrell and
Ariel Winter.
Our mid-week numbers were very strong
indicating good and positive word of
mouth, said Chris Aronson, president of
domestic distribution at Twentieth Century
Fox. If anything, this is exceeding (expec-
tations). Its a combination of likable char-
acters and its a nostalgia play for those
who are familiar with the show.
Mr. Peabody and Sherman rst appeared
in the 1950s and early 1960s on the show
Peabodys Improbable History, a segment
within the animated television series
Rocky and His Friends and later The
Bullwinkle Show.
The family marketplace is giving every
other genre a run for its money, said Paul
Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for
box-office tracker Rentrak. But the St.
Patricks Day effect could be at play here,
where families had to exercise their options
at the theater rather than the pub. That may
have paid off for Mr. Peabody.
Warner Bros. warrior drama 300: Rise of
an Empire, the 3-D sequel to the original,
2007s 300, dropped to second place with
$19.1 million after debuting at No. 1 last
weekend. Though its opening haul ($45.1
million) pales in comparison to the origi-
nal, which debuted with $70.9 million,
Rise of an Empire has earned over $78
million over both weekends.
Starring Breaking Bad alum Aaron Paul,
Disneys street racer thrill, Need for
Speed, based on the popular EA
Entertainment video game, drove into third
place with $17.8 million.
Tyler Perrys The Single Moms Club,
starring Nia Long and Amy Smart, rounded
out the top ve, opening with $8.3 million.
This is one of Tyler Perrys lowest debuts
ever, but he cranks out hits every year for
almost decade, Dergarabedian said. Hes
allowed a couple of missteps every once in
a while.
Another of the weekends hits, the Liam
Neesons Non-Stop, earned $10.6 mil-
lion in its third week at the multiplex. The
Universal Pictures thriller also stars 12
Years a Slave Oscar-winner Lupita
Nyongo.
Continuing to hold a spot in the top 10,
Warner Bros. The Lego Movie came in at
No. 6, gaining $7.7 million in its sixth
weekend. That brings the stop-motion 3-D
animations domestic total to $236.9 mil-
lion.
Leading the years early trend of lms
about religion, Foxs Son of God grossed
$5.4 million in its third weekend. Russell
Crowes Noah will continue the biblical
thread at the theater on March 28. The
Ridley Scott-directed Exodus, starring
Christian Bale as Moses, will debut later
this year.
Playing in only 66 theaters, Wes
Andersons Grand Budapest Hotel, landed
at No. 8 with $3.6 million. When it opened
last weekend, the stylish comedy showed
on just four screens in New York and Los
Angeles. Still, it impressed with $200,000.
Rounding out the top 10 is the Kristen
Bell-starring Veronica Mars, the first
high-prole project to gain funding from a
Kickstarter campaign. The cult show-
turned-feature debuted with $2 million.

ple sections of the main branch
downtown.
Some of the major additions include
an expanded teen room, a caf and a
used bookstore in the main level.
A technology lab and several new
study rooms are also in line to be
added in the lower level. The upper
level will feature conference rooms
for community and business uses.
Each of these levels will also have
updated computers and LCD screens
to accommodate the communitys
needs.
Lisa Rosenthal, president of the
Burlingame Library Board of
Trustees, stresses the need for the
library to use its resources to the best
of its abilities.
We wont be doing anything to the
outside of the building, said
Rosenthal. Its all changing the
spaces of the library to make them
more useful for the kinds of activities
that go on in libraries today.
For instance, right now we have a
whole space down there that is sit-
ting empty. So, thats indicative of
the reasons why the space has to be
reconfigured to meet the needs of
todays library. The shelves are
empty right now because the refer-
ence books in that area are gone.
This reference area is empty
because of the growing trend of using
the Internet to answer research ques-
t i ons.
City Librarian Patricia Harding
reiterates how the library needs to
stay relevant in this day and age.
The last time the library was reno-
vated was in 1995, so the technology
in 1995 was very different from the
technology we have today. This
building doesnt even have enough
electrical outlets for the technology
today. With that, expectations also
are growing and this (renovation)
will bring us into the 21st century of
technology. Its going to be a very
flexible space that can grow as times
change.
One of the major plans for the
library involves having a center for
technology, where people can take
free classes and have access to differ-
ent programs, including Lego build-
ing, robotics and computer education
training, as well as many other sub-
jects.
The library is the publics univer-
si t y, Harding said. It really brings
back knowledge to people and allows
them a space to learn.
The library and the city of
Burlingame have budgeted that the
renovation will cost approximately
$3.5 million. The Burlingame City
Council has agreed to pledge $2.5
million and trusts that the foundation
will be able to raise the remaining $1
million through donations and public
fundraising.
Patty Anixter, vice president of the
Burlingame Library Foundation and
head of the Capital Campaign com-
mittee, is in charge of raising the
necessary funds for the renovation.
In four months, we have raised
$445, 000, getting contributions
from Hillsborough, Burlingame and
other community foundations, said
Anixter. We first had our entire cam-
paign committee give a personal
donation, so a hundred percent of the
committee has donated to the proj-
ect.
Mayor Michael Brownrigg has also
emphasized the need for the commu-
nity and City Council to work
together in future development plans.
The City Council has decided to
challenge foundation with coming up
with a significant amount of funding
and contributions to a project, says
Brownrigg. Partnerships with pri-
vate groups set priorities and com-
mitments will make projects better
for taxpayers in the future.
The foundation plans to start con-
struction this summer and be done by
spring 2015. Concerns of the
librarys open hours have also been
addressed.
Were not going to close the build-
ing, said Harding. Were going to
do the renovation floor by floor,
starting with this upper level and
well close off one space at a time, so
that the building itself will be open
to the public. Youll still have access
to materials that are in each area by
asking any staff members for help.

Councilman Mark Addiego. Its been
quite a journey. This is such a superi-
or project. I think once we see it
up, it will heal everything.
The healing Addiego is referring to
is the back and forth between the
developer and the city about various
details of the plans during the past
seven months of active planning for
the site. Ultimately, changes were
made to the project to appease the
city including adding a clause that
allowed for prevailing wages for all
construction workers, putting in a
minimum of 150 apartments above a
58,000-square-foot Safeway and
reducing the term of the development
agreement from 20 years to 10 years.
Work on the project could begin late
this year or early next year, said Vice
Mayor Richard Garbarino.
The project will transform an ugly
corner, he added.
This has been a long journey, and
for I think all of us sometimes a dis-
appointing journey, he said. Im
glad we were able to get to this
point.
The reduction in time allowed for
developing the site is welcome since
this is the kind of project the city
wants to come as fast as possible,
said Councilman Pradeep Gupta.
Ive seen the project definitely
change in response to council
inputs, Gupta said. Frankly, Im
pleased with the direction the project
has taken.
In terms of the added apartments,
Addiego said he is glad about the
inclusion of the residential units.
The prevailing wages were also of
importance to councilmembers, but
some stated theyd like to see local
workers hired as well.
Meanwhile, the developer, William
T. Mitchell of WT Mitchell Group
Inc., emphasized the developments
accessibility to public transit, being
a half-mile north of the San Bruno
BART station, near bus stations and
close to Centennial Way Trail. He
said hes created a corridor to draw
people into the area.
We worked with the city for seven
years to get to this point and were
really proud of what weve ended up
with, he said.
As part of the approval, the city
also approved adopting a resolution
making findings and adopting a miti-
gated negative declaration; and
adopting a resolution approving a
use permit, design review and trans-
portation demand management plan.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia
When someone at the controls
calmly said the last words heard
from the missing Malaysian jet-
liner, one of the Boeing 777s
communications systems had
already been disabled, authori-
ties said Sunday, adding to suspi-
cions that one or both of the
pilots were involved in disap-
pearance of the flight.
Investigators also examined a
flight simulator confiscated
from the home of one of the
pilots and dug through the back-
ground of all 239 people on
board, as well as the ground crew
that serviced the plane.
The Malaysia Airlines jet took
off from Kuala Lumpur in the wee
hours of March 8, headed to
Beijing. On Saturday, the
Malaysian government
announced ndings that strongly
suggested the plane was deliber-
ately diverted and may have own
as far north as Central Asia or
south into the vast reaches of the
Indian Ocean.
Authorities have said someone
on board the plane rst disabled
one of its communications sys-
tems the Aircraft and
Communications Addressing and
Reporting System, or ACARS
about 40 minutes after takeoff.
The ACARS equipment sends
information about the jets
engines and other data to the air-
line.
Around 14 minutes later, the
transponder that identifies the
plane to commercial radar sys-
tems was also shut down. The fact
that both systems went dark sepa-
rately offered strong evidence that
the planes disappearance was
deliberate.
On Sunday, Malaysian Defense
Minister Hishammuddin Hussein
said at a news conference that that
the nal, reassuring words from
the cockpit All right, good
night were spoken to air traf-
c controllers after the ACARS
system was shut off. Whoever
spoke did not mention any trou-
ble on board.
Air force Maj. Gen. Affendi
Buang told reporters he did not
know whether it was the pilot or
co-pilot who spoke to air trafc
controllers.
Given the expanse of land and
water that might need to be
searched, finding the wreckage
could take months or longer. Or it
might never be located.
Establishing what happened with
any degree of certainty will prob-
ably require evidence from cock-
pit voice recordings and the
planes ight-data recorders.
The search area now includes 11
countries the plane might have
own over, Hishammuddin said,
adding that the number of coun-
tries involved in the operation
had increased from 14 to 25.
The search was already a high-
ly complex, multinational
effort, he said. It has now
become even more difcult.
The search effort initially
focused on the relatively shallow
waters of the South China Sea and
the Strait of Malacca, where the
plane was first thought to be.
Hishammuddin said he had asked
governments to hand over sensi-
tive radar and satellite data to try
to get a better idea of the planes
nal movements.
With more information, he said,
the search zone could be narrowed
to an area that is more feasible.
Malaysia is leading the search
for the plane and the investiga-
tion into its disappearance.
In the United States, Dan
Pfeiffer, senior adviser to
President Barack Obama, told
NBCs Meet the Press that the
FBI was supporting the criminal
probe.
Rep. Peter King, chairman of
the House Homeland Security sub-
committee on counterterrorism
and intelligence, said on ABCs
This Week that so far theres
nothing out there indicating its
terrorists.
Investigators are trying to
answer these questions: If the two
pilots were involved in the disap-
pearance, were they working
together or alone, or with one or
more of the passengers or crew?
Did they y the plane under duress
or of their own will? Did one or
more of the passengers manage to
break into the cockpit or use the
threat of violence to gain entry
and then seize the plane? And
what possible motive could there
be for diverting the jet?
Malaysias police chief, Khalid
Abu Bakar, said he asked coun-
tries with citizens on board the
plane to investigate their back-
grounds, no doubt looking for
anyone with terrorism ties, avia-
tion skills or prior contact with
the pilots. He said that the intelli-
gence agencies of some countries
had already done so and found
nothing suspicious, but he was
waiting for others to respond.
Police searched the homes of
both pilots Saturday, the first
time they had done so since the
plane vanished, the government
said. Asked why it took them so
long, Khalid said authorities
didnt see the necessity in the
early stages.
Police conscated the elaborate
ight simulator that one of the
pilots, Zaharie Ahmad Shah, had
built in his home and reassembled
it in their ofces to study it for
clues, Khalid said.

ment of the population that really has a lot
to offer moving forward with other social
impact issues, Klein said. I definitely
think in terms of nonprofit work and gov-
erning work that technology and youth
and new ideas are underutilized.
Homelessness is often hidden and over-
looked against the growing population of
successful entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley,
Lisle said. The area has one of the coun-
trys highest income per capita and some
of the highest rent prices averaging about
$2,100 per month, Lisle said.
So the cost of housing is a huge driver
for homelessness in our community.
Because many people live their lives pay-
check to paycheck and if theres an
episode or trauma, sickness, divorce, that
could put them on the street in a matter of
months, Lisle said.
Many of the homeless Innvision assists
are hard-working adults with full-time jobs
who simply cant afford to live in Silicon
Valley.
The young, educated, successful, tech-
speaking millennial generation can use
their knowledge of business development
and technology to raise awareness about
social service causes through social
media, Lisle said.
In the environment where entrepre-
neurs are so focused, this incredible focus
on building products and services to
change the world, what Im hoping is we
can bring this topic of social conscious-
ness into the entrepreneurs mindset so
that as theyre changing the world with
tech, so too will they think about the role
they can play in the social service sector,
Lisle said.
Silicon Valley companies are growing
faster and profitable and many young
adults in the tech industry are more moti-
vated by plans to change the world then by
making money, Lisle said.
NextGeners will encourage others to get
involved, form their own projects and
fundraisers and serve as an advisory board
to Innvisions main board of directors,
Lisle said.
Its also a perfect opportunity for those
interested in becoming board members of
nonprofits or even starting their own to
gain life experience, Lisle said.
NextGen co-chair Julia Duncan, a 26-
year-old Menlo Park native, comes from
an extensive background in politics and
activism. She worked at the White House,
currently works at Google and eventually
wants to start her own nonprofit focusing
on eradicating hunger, Duncan said.
Duncan said she has been an avid volun-
teer since a young age and, over the years,
shes gained critical insight that there are
people in her community that, whether
you see them or not, are really struggling,
Duncan said. Assisting those in need
requires continued public education and
NextGen is a way to cultivate a new group
of nonprofit leaders, she added.
This organization, for me, has really
been a way to hone my interests here
locally, Duncan said. The group of
[NextGen] people we have here are all
long-term visionaries in terms of social
good and its important that they know
how to do it in a way thatll make the most
change in any organization they end up
working for.
Lisle said she interviewed at least 30
people before narrowing the number to 12
to serve up to three two-year terms, Lisle
said.
Klein shares Duncans desire to give
back to her community and assist those in
need.
Ive always been interested in using
what Ive been so lucky to have for good
social causes, especially local causes. I
went to Burlingame High School and
Stanford and got a great education and I
just feel our generation has a responsibili-
ty to use some of what weve been given to
help others, Klein said.
Many young adults working in tech, for
startups and successful business are find-
ing they have more free time they want to
use for good, Lisle said. So while theyre
tweeting and posting on Facebook at
events, they can use it to leverage conver-
sations about homelessness and social
service opportunities, Lisle said.
NextGeners will start meeting monthly,
establish social media accounts, network,
organize fundraisers and advise Innvisions
main board of directors on how to help
resolve homelessness, Lisle said.
Because technology is one of the funda-
mental back bones of this fast-paced com-
munity, I think its really going to pro-
mote community and social involvement
for the young demographic. Young people
have plenty of resources and theyre agile
with those resources, Lisle said. They
can start giving back sooner, they can
make it part of their culture. getting
them to start talking about it now, itll
reach young people in these entrepreneur-
ial environments and itll change the tra-
jectory of our community here in 10 years,
20 years, we can see less poverty in
Silicon Valley.

A Health Center
Dedicated to
Severe Disc
Conditions
If you suffer with lower back,
neck, or leg pain, we invite you to try
our non surgical solution. The pain
from degenerating and bulging discs
affects everything that you do, from
work, to play, and ultimately your
quality of life. At Crossroads Heath
Center, we have created an entire
facility dedicated to patients with
severe disc conditions that have not
responded to traditional care. Our
revolutionary, Crossroads Method,
provides a very high success rate to
patients with serious back, neck,
leg and arm pain even when all
else has failed. This FDA cleared;
non-surgical treatment allows us
to rehabilitate your herniated or
degenerative disc(s) by reversing
internal pressure and enabling your
disc(s) to heal from the inside out.
We succeed where other treatments
have failed by removing the
pressure that is causing pain to
your disc(s) and nerves without
drugs, injections, invasive surgery or
harmful side effects.
The only ofce to have
The Crossroads Method
This method which includes
computerized true disc
decompression is considered by
many doctors to be the most
advanced and successful non-
invasive treatment of serious back,
neck, leg or arm pain.
This procedure allows for a much
higher success rate by increasing
hydration of your discs, fexibility,
relaxation of muscles and ligaments
along with improving muscle and
core strength, balance and posture.
This results in a more effective and
lasting solution to your pain. There
are no side effects and no recovery
time is required.
This gentle and relaxing treatment
has proven to be effective even
when drugs, epidurals, traditional
chiropractic, physical therapy
and surgery have failed The
Crossroads Method has shown
dramatic results.
Patient Testimonials
During the 1 1/2 years of having
constant daily lower back pain and
spasms, I took anti-infammatory
and pain medication, but nothing
helped lessen the pain. When an MRI
showed that I had two degenerative
discs, I went through a series of
lumbar epidural injections without
success. The only thing that made
the pain and spasms go away was
Spinal Decompression treatments at
Crossroads Health Center. Four years
later and I am still pain-free!
Lisa K. San Jose, 2013
I came in to Dr. Ferrigno for
lower back pain. Its a problem
that I have had for about 10 to
15 years. I tried everything from
physiatrists, medical doctors,
doctor of osteopathy, chiropractic,
acupuncture, pain medications,
epidural injections and everything
was a temporary fx. I decided to try
the DRX therapy and Ive gone from
an average pain level between 5/7
out of 10 all the way down to a pain
level of 1 to 2 pretty consistently.
The DRX was defnitely the only
thing that has made me feel better.

How Will I Know If I Qualify
for Treatment?
When you come in for a
complimentary consultation we will
ask a series of questions and perform
a comprehensive examination to
determine exactly where the pain is
coming from. If x-rays are necessary,
we can take them in our offce. Once
we determine the cause of your
pain we will let you know if we can
help you and if you qualify for our
treatment protocol.
If we dont feel like we can help we
will refer you to someone who can.
