Atherton's former arborist has been identified as the woman found stabbed to death in her Menlo Park home.

Kathleen Anne Hughes Anderson, 62, was the arborist for the City of Atherton for 22 years, from November 1989 until her retirement in November 2011. She was the widow of Billy “Andy” Anderson, who owned Dahl Plumbing on Alma Street in Palo Alto. Andy Anderson died in 2007.

Before his death, the two were married for about 30 years and had no children.

Anderson was from Decatur, Illinois, and came to California to attend school in the 1980s, said her brother-in-law, Barry Anderson, who also works for the post office. The couple were regulars at the Alpine Beer Garden in Portola Valley.

Anderson was known for her green thumb at work and at home. Barry Anderson said her garden at her home at 925 Valparaiso Ave. was “amazing.”

Atherton Town Clerk Theresa DellaSanta said Anderson “was very passionate about her work as an arborist.”

“She had a deep passion for landscaping and trees, and she shared that love with many of our town residents by spending time with them in their gardens and giving them insight into tree pruning and planting,” DellaSanta wrote. “It was the little things Kathy did around town that residents remember and came to love about her. Kathy was a beacon of positivity to all who came into contact with her, and her impact on the trees in Atherton will last for many generations to come.”

Police found Anderson stabbed to death in her home on Wednesday (Dec. 12) after receiving a 911 call from Daniel Baggett, a former tenant of Anderson's. Baggett told police to The Post he stopped by at 5 p.m. on Wednesday after driving by and noticing her garbage cans were still on the side of the road a day after garbage collection. He also saw that her bedroom window, which was normally open, was closed, he said.

Baggett said he saw the back door was open and went into the house. He spotted Francis Wolke, 36, of Cincinnati, Ohio, at the top of the stairs. Baggett called 911. Police arrested Wolke on suspicion of first-degree murder.

Was there a connection between the three people?

District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said Friday that his office and Menlo Park police are still investigating the connection between Wolke, Baggett and Anderson, if there is one. Wagstaffe said the relationship between Anderson and Baggett was not rosy and that investigators are “digging” into the pasts of the three people to find a connection.

Wolke had an arrest warrant issued by the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office for prowling and drug possession from a 2014 case.

While police believe Wolke's current address is in Cincinnati, records indicate he was living in San Francisco in 2014. Wagstaffe said Wolke has not made any statement about why he allegedly murdered Anderson.

Wagstaffe said Anderson died as a result of being stabbed in the head with a “sharp object,” but because the investigation is ongoing, he could not yet identify the object.

Wolke is in prison without bail.

The San Francisco Air Mail Center — the post office within the San Francisco International Airport — will close for good Thursday following the non-renewal of the site’s lease by the airport.

US Postal Service spokesperson Evelina Ramirez confirmed March 31 will be the last day of operation for the location at 660 W. Field Road that dates back to the 1960’s. The Postal Service issued a letter in January indicating it might suspend service at the location, and another last week verifying the closure.

The decision to not renew the lease on the airport-owned property was made in August 2020, at which time the Postal Service was notified, according to SFO spokesperson Doug Yakel, who said the lease expires in August this year.

He said the airport plans to use the site for “future facility development,” likely a mix of cargo facilities and aircraft parking. While the Airport Commission awards leases and their extensions, it does not hear lease expirations or decisions not to renew leases, he said.

Ramirez said the Postal Service preferred to remain at the location but was “basically told we needed to leave.”

Mail service at the location will be transferred to the post office at 820 Stanton Road in Burlingame. Those with PO boxes at the airport location will be accommodated in Burlingame beginning April 2, and the transfer of service will be completed April 6, according to the Postal Service.

The Burlingame location is open 10:30 am to 1 pm and 2 pm to 5 pm Monday to Friday, and closed on weekends.

Vacaville police on March 21, 2022, shared this photo of one of its officers walking with a woman who was found wandering on a busy street. The post triggered a community discussion on the difficulties faced when caring for a loved one with dementia.

VACAVILLE, Caif. – The Vacaville Police Department has received praise and triggered a compassionate, community discussion on the heartbreaking realities of caring for a loved one with dementia.

On Monday, the department posted a touching photo of one of its officers walking with an elderly woman who had been found wandering onto a busy street and into parking lots.

SEE ALSO: San Francisco police seek missing woman

SEE ALSO: Missing San Ramon teens reunited with families, police say

Police said an alert community member had noticed the woman and went over to help her to safety.

“The community member stopped to help and recognized the elderly woman was a neighborhood member who was displaying signs similar [to] those she’d seen in her own grandmother who suffered from dementia,” police shared, adding that it prompted the community member to call police.

Officers arrived and were able to quickly identify the woman, thanks to a necklace she wore which included her contact information. They went on to notify a relative who worked nearby, police explained.

While waiting for the woman’s relative to arrive, an officer took the opportunity to go the extra mile.

“… the officer volunteered to continue to walk through the park with the woman to help keep her at ease while they waited,” police said. “As they walked, the officer chatted with the senior and she spoke about her favorite foods, how much she loves dogs, and how she just wanted to go home.”

For many local law enforcement agencies, their officers were no strangers to these situations, as they’re often called on by desperate family members trying to locate a loved one suffering from memory loss due to dementia.

These sensitive and stressful events were not lost on the Vacaville Police Department as it offered some insight, providing a compassionate look into the subjects of these all too common cases.

“Imagine: You’ve lived a long, joyous life. You’ve seen the world change through so many decades,” the department shared in its post. “But now, the destructive powers of dementia are slowly robbing you of those precious life memories, and you occasionally find yourself wandering around, unsure exactly of where you are or where you’re headed.”

The Facebook post received more than 1.6K likes and a huge response from community members, many who could relate.

“With tears in my eyes and losing my mother to a horrendous case of dementia thank you so much for taking care of this lady with loving kindness it’s the only thing that works when things start going this way,” Cathy Gentry-hendricks wrote in the post’s comments.

Facebook user Luke Witthar shared, “I’m going through with that with my mother right now. She’ll call me at work and ask me what day it is and what time it is. Is so hard on a family.”

Kay Johnson Nelson expressed appreciation for the care taken to help the distressed woman. “Most grandmas have spent their lives caring for family and others. It’s so good to see family and community caring for our elderly members,” she wrote.

Police also used the post to offer this safety tip for families who have a loved one dealing with memory loss: “If you have an elderly family member that is at risk of becoming lost or disoriented, a necklace or bracelet with helpful information is a major resource for any Good Samaritans or first responders working to help,” police shared.

And to those who praised the department for its efforts, the police returned the expression of gratitude to the community, noting the effort was a collective one.

“There are a ton of wonderful people in our community, and it’s always nice to share a story that reminds us about positive humanity,” the department responded, also saying, “Our community members prove time and time again that they are willing to look out for and help one another.”

In mid-February, a construction crew began lifting a 1940s post office building located in Burlingame, Calif., on the San Francisco Peninsula. The crew moved the 1,010-ton structure about 120 feet away so that a new underground parking garage can be built directly beneath the post office’s historic site, while a new office and retail development, 220 Park Road, will be built above it.

Reconstruction began on a 1940 building in February.

In 2023, after undergoing restoration, the post office will be moved back to its former site, where it will be integrated into the new office and retail building, designed by KSH Architects. It will then have a second life as a ground-floor restaurant space at the base of the 220 Park Road office and retail development.

As the preservation architect, Page & Turnbull collaborated with KSH Architects and general contractor Garden City Construction to safely move the structure. The new development is a joint venture between Sares Regis Group of Northern California and Dostart Development Company.

“This post office is part of the historic fabric of the city of Burlingame, and we are honored to help ensure the preservation and adaptation of this public treasure,” says architect Ruth Todd, principal of Page & Turnbull, and the project’s preservation leader, in a statement.

Aerial view of the historical site in San Francisco.

Garden City Construction is joined by construction manager Devcon Construction, structural engineer IMEG, and civil engineer BKF. The mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering is performed, respectively, by Silicon Valley Mechanical, Rex Moore, and KDS Plumbing.

The project broke ground in September. When it’s complete, the long-vacant, 1.3-acre lot in the center of downtown Burlingame will be home to 185,000 square feet of new office and retail space. The repurposed post office will then open onto the new adjacent Burlingame Town Square, scheduled to begin construction right after the completion of 220 Park.

The North Baltimore museum’s board of trustees was notified Wednesday that Bedford’s last day will be June 3. Trustees are expected to name an interim director and will conduct a “rigorous and expansive search” for Bedford’s successor, the board’s chairwoman, Clair Zamoiski Segal, wrote in a letter to the trustees, staff members and supporters.

Story continues below advertisement

In the six years that Bedford has guided Maryland’s largest museum, he has shaken it up from its basement to its eaves as he sought to transform the BMA into an institution that better reflects the majority population of the city in which it is located.

“The BMA, our city and the entire art world owe Chris Bedford a debt of gratitude for his groundbreaking work to advance diversity, equity and community engagement,” the Rev. Kobi Little, president of the Baltimore branch of the NAACP, wrote in an e-mail. “It is our hope that the BMA leadership stays the course and builds on his work by honoring his contributions and hiring a like-minded successor.”

Many of Bedford’s initiatives made national headlines.

Story continues below advertisement

Some, such as the decision to buy only artworks created by female painters and sculptors during 2020, the Year of the Woman, were widely acclaimed. Others, such as an ultimately unsuccessful attempt to sell three modern masterworks to raise $55 million for diversity initiatives, caused a deep rift within Baltimore and brought an avalanche of negative publicity.

“I believe that the work that the board and staff of the Baltimore Museum of Art and I have done over the last six years has fundamentally changed the DNA of this institution,” Bedford said. “I have immense pride in what we have accomplished and a sadness that come June, I won’t be part of that anymore.”

While Bedford’s supporters viewed him as a warrior for social justice, his take-no-prisoners management style sometimes annoyed people on the opposite side of an issue.

Story continues below advertisement

Laurence Eisenstein is the Washington lawyer who spearheaded the opposition to the sale of the three artworks, a process known in museum circles as “deaccessioning.” Eisenstein once publicly called for Bedford to be ousted. On Wednesday, his tone was conciliatory.

“I wish Chris well and hope he is very successful in his new position at SFMOMA,” Eisenstein said. “I look forward to the BMA finding a new director who will move the institution forward and heal the divisions that remain from the deaccessioning process.”

Bedford was born in Scotland and has lived in England and South Africa. From the beginning, he said he didn’t expect to spend the rest of his career in Baltimore. When he was appointed, Bedford promised trustees that he would give the BMA at least five years; he departs after six.

Perhaps because Bedford knew his time in Baltimore was limited, the former Oberlin College football nose tackle pursued his plans to transform the BMA with a single-minded determination and embarked upon what in museum terms was a blistering pace of change.

Less than three months into his new job, Bedford catapulted the BMA onto an international stage when it was selected to create the American pavilion in the 2017 Venice Biennale, often described as “the art world Olympics.” It was the first time since 1960 that the BMA had been chosen for that honor.

Other high-profile programs include a satellite museum at Lexington Market that combines galleries and an art-making space, and a partnership with the Greenmount West Community Center that teaches silk-screening skills for kids living in challenging circumstances and raises money for the neighborhood organization , which is less than two miles from the BMA.

Story continues below advertisement

Kisha L. Webster, the community center’s founder, said that the BMA is one of the rare institutions that didn’t cut back on its commitment once the headlines went away.

For nearly three years, she said, Segal and the international art world superstar Mark Bradford have served on Greenmount West’s board of directors. Silk-screened clothing continues to be sold in a pop-up shop inside the BMA, and the two organizations frequently collaborate.

“I have grown because of this partnership and our center has grown,” Webster said. “I hope it will continue.”

And in March, the BMA will open an exhibit that’s already generating media buzz: “Guarding the Art,” a show curated by the museum’s security guards — a project designed by trustee Amy Elias and chief BMA curator Asma Naeem. Bedford also championed local artists of color, boosting the careers of promising painters such as Jerrell Gibbs and the mixed-media artist Stephen Towns.

“Chris brought a more diverse environment to the BMA,” said Towns, 42. “He brought Baltimore artists of color into the museum and helped launch careers. He definitely did that for me.”

After Bedford arranged for Towns to have his first museum show at the BMA in 2018, he exhibited his work in Los Angeles and obtained representation from a New York gallery. His work is in the permanent collection of the BMA and the National Museum of African American History and Culture, and has been sold to collectors in the United States and abroad.

“None of that would have happened without the BMA,” Towns said.

In San Francisco, Bedford will lead a museum with its own share of well-publicized struggles with diversity. A senior curator resigned in 2020 after his comments created a public uproar; he had stated that a museum policy of avoiding collecting artworks by White men amounts to “reverse discrimination.”

Bedford declined to comment on what plans, if any, he has for SFMOMA. But he said his new museum “holds dear two principles that are enormously important to me: a commitment to equity and excellence in its broadest definition. SFMOMA wants to continue to be known for leading the field in those areas, and that aspiration attracted me tremendously.”

In a statement, the San Francisco museum’s search committee described Bedford as “a brave, empathic, inclusive and passionate leader,” adding, “He is at a point in his career that combines impressive achievements with an open mindset and the ability to listen, learn and evolve with and for our community.”

Segal, whose seven years as the BMA board chairwoman ended in June, praised Bedford’s “courageous and inspired leadership” in her letter to museum supporters.

Story continues below advertisement

“It is through his leadership that we reinvigorated our mission in 2018 to transform the BMA into a museum that places diversity and equity alongside artistic excellence at its core and better reflects the community that it serves,” Segal wrote. She will be succeeded by James D. Thornton, who will become the BMA’s first Black board chairman.

Although many of Bedford’s boldest projects have come to fruition, others remain works in progress.

After the sale of three artworks by Andy Warhol, Clyfford Still and Brice Marden was called off two hours before they were scheduled to go under the gavel at Sotheby’s Auction House in New York in fall 2020, Bedford vowed to raise the $55 million the sale had been expected to generate and to use the money for diversity and access programs, an initiative dubbed the endowment for the future.

Bedford said fundraising for this endowment is continuing, but he declined to say how much money has been pledged. Nonetheless, he said the museum “has made substantive progress” in most categories for which those funds were to have been earmarked: The pay for security guards was bumped up from $13.50 an hour in the middle of the pandemic to $16 now. Bedford acknowledged the figure falls short of his original target of $20 an hour, but he said, “In the next five years, $20 an hour is achievable.”

The BMA will begin opening on Thursday nights in March to accommodate visitors who work during the day, and it is tentatively planning to stop charging for special exhibitions in the fall of 2026, 20 years after eliminating its general admission fee.

“It isn’t enough to just hang paintings by artists of color in our galleries,” Bedford said. “We have to create the world depicted in those paintings. We have to embody those values ​​of equity, access and inclusion inside the museum’s walls.”

Bedford said he’s not worried that a new director will have different priorities and that the plans he set in motion will be abandoned once he leaves town.

“I do not believe the pendulum is going to swing in the opposite direction,” he said. “Initially, the work the BMA was doing reflected my vision. That is emphatically no longer the case. In the past six years, the staff and board to a person have come together around a very deeply shared set of principles. The museum doesn’t need me to do that good work.”

Segal said in her letter that she doesn’t expect the BMA to change course.

Trustees remain “committed to the equity goals that we have set forth, and this commitment does not change with Christopher’s departure,” her letter says.

Bedford knows that hiring a new director is the prerogative of the BMA’s board.

“I would hope they would consult me,” he said. “I do have some candidate ideas I would like to share.”

Are candidates of color on his list? Should the BMA’s next director be Black?

“The short answer,” Bedford said, “is emphatically yes.”

Over the last two years, news outlets in search of additional readership have been incessantly reporting on the number individuals moving in or out of San Francisco. We compiled a list of the top moving companies in San Francisco to aid those looking to hire relocation specialists. Some of these companies helped weigh in on the alleged ‘SF Exodus’ by providing access to their anonymized data pulled from request-for-quote (RFQ) leads. These statistics featured desired date of move, city of origin, unit size, and ending location. While this data showed almost all potential SF movers ended up in SF or another Northern California area, cities like Austin, Nashville, and Miami, as well as those who stand to benefit from the political ramifications of the Exodus, have repeatedly pushed the message that San Francisco and New York are dead. The conservative daily tabloid The New York Post famously printed exactly that on August 17, 2020, just to publish the opposite belief a mere 4 days later, with the title, “No, New York City is not ‘dead forever’ — here’s why” running on August 22.

The reality is that New York and San Francisco are two of the top cities in the USA for reasons greater than the highest paying jobs. And yes, there was a major bout of move-out fever in 2020 and 2021 here in the Bay, but recent research suggest that San Francisco is still one of the top cities to “find a new, high-paying job in 2022—without sacrificing quality of life,” per this CNBC article. Business Insider looked at different data and found “the urban exodus out of New York City and San Francisco is more myth than reality.” Further, SFist reviewed over 10,000 client requests for moving jobs from 2019 to 2022 and found that late 2021/early 2022 (YTD) more closely reflects that of 2019 priod to the pandemic, rather than that of 2020/early 2021. And let’s face it, both SF & NYC are the host cities for the most famous events, are home to the country’s top sports teams, and are destinations for foodies seeking the most innovative dining experiences from around the world.

As you prepare for a big move in or around the SF Bay Area, hiring the best movers near San Francisco can make the experience less stressful and allow you to fully enjoy entering your new home. Why is this list free to read?

Some have even begun to pit San Francisco against New York City. It is a fact that the recovery of New York’s rental market has outpaced that of San Francisco to this point, as Gothamist reported in 2021. New York-based publication Bloomberg News extrapolated that a lasting change has occurred, as “New York City Beats San Francisco for Superstar Talent.” What many fail to acknowledge is the vastly different path that SF & NYC have followed throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. New York was hit hard early on, but today, they are simply moving faster than SF for assorted other reasons. For example, banking companies like Citibank are already calling for a return to office work in just a couple of weeks, whereas technology companies, hosting a tech-enabled workforce that lends itself to sustaining a longer work-from-home period, are still erring on the side of caution – for the time being, at least. But this is not a thing of perpetuity. Clever tech companies have been snapping up more and more office space throughout the Bay Area, signaling what will almost certainly be an at least partial return to office life.

“Bricksit means Bricksit”: Twitter users post hilarious pictures in which May is compared with Thomas the Tank Engine, Bob the Builder and a chimney sweep after giving a speech in front of a brick wall

• Theresa May gave a big speech on the subject of living in front of a fake brick wall today
• Got ridiculed by the viewers who compared it to famous scenes with walls
• The Prime Minister was previously criticized for having boring backgrounds for speeches

Theresa May was mocked today for giving a big speech in front of a brick wall – Twitter users compared her to a chimney sweep and Bob the builder.

The Prime Minister outlined her plans to implement a building revolution in front of a fake brick wall.

But Twitter users jumped at the unusual backdrop and posted a series of hilarious memes that poked fun at the election.

Many viewers of the speech pointed out that she looked like a chimney sweep – which prompted a journalist to mock her with a black flat cap and broom.

Another Twitter user, Chris Mandle, posted a picture of Mrs. May next to a Thomas the Tank Engine train stuck behind a brick wall.

After many viewers of the Prime Minister’s speech pointed out that she looked like she was standing in a chimney, a reporter mocked her as a chimney sweep

While Ben Skipper pointed out that the Prime Minister looked like the old Windows 1995 screensaver

Targeting the Prime Minister’s well-known love of shoes, Samuel Jenkinson posted a picture of a brick house built in the shape of a shoe

Targeting the Prime Minister’s well-known love of shoes, Samuel Jenkinson posted a picture of a brick house built in the shape of a shoe.

While Ben Skipper pointed out that the Prime Minister looked like the old Windows 1995 screensaver.

And another Twitter user who used the name MLAs and the like posted a picture of the Prime Minister with the headline “Bricksit apparently means Bricksit” – an interpretation of Ms. May’s old catchphrase “Brexit means Brexit”.

The hilarious posts came online when Ms. May urged the UK to unite to build new homes.

The Prime Minister rejected the idea that overcoming the housing crisis would mean concreting the Green Belt.

And she admitted that young people “were rightly angry” for not being able to get on the property ladder.

The gentle Joshing comes after Theresa May (pictured today) was criticized for making a boring choice in the background for her big speeches. Last year she traveled to Florence, Italy – known worldwide for its Renaissance art and architecture – just to give a speech in front of a white cardboard backdrop

And another Twitter user posted a picture of the Prime Minister with the headline “Bricksit apparently means Bricksit” – an interpretation of Ms. May’s old catchphrase “Brexit means Brexit”.

In a package of measures to restore the dwindling dream of owning a home, May confirmed plans to create up to five new “garden cities”.

And she vowed to take action against building blockades, such as building owners “sitting” on the land and waiting for its value to rise.

The proposals were tabled in an open pitch by Ms. May to attract millennials who turned against the Tories in the last election and flocked to Jeremy Corbyn’s Labor Party instead.

Many Conservatives have called for the government to be more radical on house building in order to win back these younger voters.

SALISBURY – To eliminate lead in drinking water in the Dukeville area, the county government is considering completely replacing the plumbing in several homes in their Northeast Rowan Water System.

District manager Aaron Church will ask for approval during Monday’s commissioners’ meeting to launch an advertisement for a contractor overseeing replacements in homes where lead levels are above the EPA’s action level of 10 parts per billion.

The Northeast Rowan Water System serves 162 connections and several hundred residents. It is owned by the county but the water is treated by Salisbury-Rowan Utilities. The county has been working to resolve the water quality issue since sampling in 2020 showed elevated levels of lead. The county noted that the contamination was due to the solder in some customers’ house lines, rather than the water system itself.

If lead levels in water exceed the EPA’s current action level of 15 parts per billion, the water system will need to inform the public of steps to protect their health and possibly replace lead lines under their control. Rowan County has distributed Brita filters to customers in the Northeast Rowan Water System, encouraging customers to run the taps for a few minutes before use, clean the water aerators in their taps, and only boil with cold water.

The county has been given until Saturday June 12th to obtain EPA compliance through the NC Department of Environmental Quality. Church said the county and the SRU were able to meet this deadline by following the recommendation by Virginia Tech researchers and switched from using a polyphosphate blend to treat utility water to zinc orthophosphate.

The county also decided to build a $ 742,900 chemical booster pumping station on Long Ferry Road that will inject additional zinc orthophosphate into the Northeast Rowan Water System. NCDEQ approved the county’s treatment plan in April.

The switch to zinc orthophosphate took place on June 4th, but construction of the chemical pumping station will not begin until October. Even after the booster station has been completed by the beginning of 2021, it will still take some time for a protective zinc orthophosphate barrier to form in the pipes and prevent lead from penetrating.

“It takes a while for this barrier to be built,” said SRU Director Jim Behmer. “Even if you switch chemicals, it’s not an overnight solution.”

While the county is counting on the zinc orthophosphate and chemical booster station solution to work, Church said changing the plumbing in certain homes will eliminate the lead.

“If we do this, as I understand the science, it should make sure that the drinking water is safe even if the booster chemical pumping station does not work or takes longer than expected,” Church said.

The county has partnered with 120Water to test customer water in the system. So far, 119 samples have been collected, according to Church. Of these, 31 had lead levels in excess of 1.01 parts per billion, with eight exceeding the EPA’s current level of action of 15 parts per billion.

The district has already notified customers via the system who have taken part in the sampling of their lead levels. Now it will contact customers who could be candidates for new plumbing. To be eligible, a customer must go through two additional water tests that show the lead content in their water exceeds the threshold of 10 parts per billion. Customers who are entitled to new sanitary installations receive completely new pipes, taps and shower heads.

Church said he anticipates around 15 customers will be eligible, but that could change as more samples are completed. The county is still offering customers a $ 72 credit on their monthly water bill for doing the sampling at home. You can find more information about the water test online at rowancountync.gov/1662/Water.

The cost of replacing piping in the system’s homes is difficult to pinpoint right now, but it could cost the county hundreds of thousands of dollars. Church said the county will consider funding the project through the US rescue plan.

Church’s request to apply for a contractor for the pipeline renovation project is listed on the approval agenda for the committee meeting on Monday. If approved, Church said the county will likely hire a contractor by August and replace the plumbing work by late spring next year.
