Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:57:15 GMT

Tri-County Athletic League Stone Division(Predicted order of finish)No. 1 ST. MARY’S-BERKELEYCoach: John Trotman Jr. 2022 record: 11-1What to expect: The Stone Division appears to be well-balanced. Any one of four teams could finish first. So why not pick last year’s defending champ to win again? The Panthers won 11 in a row before losing to eventual CIF State 7-AA champion Pinole Valley in the North Coast Section playoffs. They return seniors Elijah Hines and Samadi Scott to head the running game. Both weigh in excess of 200 pounds. They’re also linebackers and combined for 119 tackles last season. Marley Filson returns at free safety, where he was first-team all-TCAL Stone in 2022. He’s also a talented WR, which will be helpful as the Panthers break in young sophomore Sutton Ralls and junior Anthony Commack at quarterback. St. Mary’s will have experience on the OL with juniors Avi Coty-Moran (6-5, 240) at tackle and Jason Rodriguez (5-10, 250) at guard. Both started all 12 games a...

Driver frustration with VTA may be tied to Taylor Swift shows: Roadshow

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:57:15 GMT

Q: Recently I sat through three trains crossing Central Expressway. I am sure someone had a good reason to program crossing arms to come down way before any train is near, but it was unreal the length of delays it causes. With this valley having so many bright programmers, it seems the VTA wasn’t able to capitalize on that talent pool.What’s it going to take to minimize delays to car traffic? It’s as if the crossing arms were programmed for trains running three times the current speed. Maybe someone swapped 15 mph for 50 mph in an algorithm.John JensenA: I checked with the VTA about your concerns. Current operations of this crossing were developed as part of the light rail double-tracking effort and were vetted and approved by the CPUC. The situation you describe, with closely spaced light rail vehicles, appears to have triggered the crossing gate controller logic to hold gates down for an extended period. This is to avoid having gates rapidly go up and immediately go back down, whi...
