Andre John McBride was arrested after a foot chase in which he hopped fences, ran across the train tracks and entered residential !2 (-'.-#%02!++ yards on Alma Street and Embarcadero Road, police said Thursday. He was wanted on three warrants relating to burglary and grand theft. These include an April 25 shoplifting episode in Nordstrom at the Stanford Shopping Center, an April 24 theft of two laptops and a wallet from a residence in the 1400 block of Tasso Street and an auto burglary in September 2013 on Princeton Street, in which cash was taken from an unoccupied car. Police began following McBride, 20, at around 6:35 p.m. Wednes- day, shortly after Palo Alto High School’s school resource officer spotted the East Palo Alto resident at graduation and recognized him as a suspect in the three thefts. Just after the ceremony was over, officers approached McBride and he allegedly fled on foot. Three ! officers, including the school resource officer, gave chase. Police said McBride hopped fences, crossed the bike path just east of Paly and ran across the Caltrain tracks, making his way to Alma. He then allegedly entered the yard of a home on the 1100 block of Alma before climbing over the fence of another home on the 100 %--5 !00.-0(. block of Embarcadero.

hose spigots or sprinkler heads, that can run on timers according to the season or a client’s vacation schedule. Lambert adds that some of her clients have seen lower water bills that coincide with her company’s installations. Ariel Johnston, a Palo Alto resident with two children ages 2 and 4, bought four raised beds and the Garden Guru service. “I really wanted to raise my kids knowing where their food comes from,” said the work-from-home mom, but added that she didn’t know a whole lot about irrigation systems and didn’t feel like she had time to garden. Johnston’s case is typical of most of Lambert’s clients — families who value the idea of teaching their kids where food comes from but don’t have the time to garden themselves. “I knew the kid aspect would be a big part of it, but I didn’t realize how big,” Lambert said of getting children involved with the gardening process. “Kids are more willing to eat vegetables if they’re coming out of their own garden.” Johnston agrees. Her kids “run back and see everything that’s grown and they’re excited about it. ... When it’s ready to eat, they’re chomping on it.” In addition, Johnston cites practical backyard usage as another via- ble reason to seek Lambert’s help. “We recently redid the whole backyard and ended up with more lawn than I expected,” said John- ston. “I wanted something more productive.” The bounty from Johnston’s garden continually surprises her: “We get a good meal every day out of what we have,” she said, noting that she only buys produce at the market when her garden is between seasons and hasn’t produced any edibles yet. And when the gardens start to bloom, customers get spreads that are both beautiful, practical and customized to their preferences, as they get to go “shopping” for the types of plants they would like to see in their gardens. Lambert said she also values sustainability and organic materials in her gardens. Home gardens are, by nature, sustainable, but Lambert even uses sustainably forested cedar for the construction of her raised beds, which she has custom built by Natural Yards based in Ashland, Oregon. The soil, seeds and pest management are also organic. Lambert cites companion planting as one way to keep the aphids at bay. “Instead of spraying a pesticide, we’ll plant marigold, nasturtiums and pansies,” she said. “They at- tract bees and they’re also a natural deterrent for pests, because they don’t like the smell.” And, they bring vibrant color to practical vegetable gardens. Johnston observed that Lambert has carved an interesting and very distinct niche for herself in the Sil- icon Valley business world. “It’s a different kind of start-up than we see around here,” she said.

hey are part of a generation that has experienced real-world success at an early age through their startups and nonprofits, pursued interests as diverse as music, sports and T world affairs, and explored the potential of technology they’ve been immersed in all their lives. In the weeks before graduation, seven seniors selected at random from Gunn and Palo Alto high schools shared memories of their youth with the Weekly. Besides school memories, the seniors discussed their plans for the future and, briefly, their thoughts on how life for their generation might be different or similar to that for their parents’.
