California GOP recognizes
gay faction of party
SACRAMENTO The California
Republican Party on Sunday officially
recognized the partys organized gay
wing that has fought years for formal
acceptance.
The Los Angeles Times reported
Sunday that the 38-year-old Log Cabin
Republican group received overwhelming support to receive a charter
at the state partys biannual convention in Sacramento.
The chairman of the Log Cabin
Group said the organization worked
two years on its application and cited
the active involvement members had
in recent campaigns. Delegates granted the group a charter on an 861-293
vote.
A lot of us knew we were
Republican before we knew we were
gay, so this is home for us, said
Charles Moran, head of the Log Cabin
organization.
Formal recognition of the Log
Cabin group was opposed by some
party social conservatives, who
argued the item violated the partys
bylaws. They also argued the issue was
quietly placed on the convention
agenda without little notice and no
time for debate.
A longtime Republican conservative activist called approval of the
Log Cabins charter a travesty that

American astronauts Terry Virts and

as well as two sets of antennas. They
successfully routed 364 feet on their

more spacewalks will be needed once
new docking ports arrive in June.

Samantha Cristoforetti said from

early.
Within the first hour, the spacewalkers had hooked up both antenna
booms and got started on the cable
work. There were wires everywhere,
and the men had to move their bodies
in different positions to access one
especially cramped work site.

were a real travesty.

Lawmakers tinker with Proposition 47

By Don Thompson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Four months

after California voters lowered
penalties for certain crimes, state
lawmakers and law enforcement
officials are lining up with proposals to repeal portions of the
new law that they say have created
unintended consequences, such as
reducing the number of DNA samples taken from suspects.
Proposition 47 has been a ringing success in easing punishments
for drug crimes and thinning crowded jails. But police say it also has
contributed to a rise in property
crimes, to a decrease in the number
of drug users getting the treatment
they need and to lowering the deterrent for stealing guns or possessing date-rape drugs.
The ballot measure changed

shoplifting, forgery, fraud, petty

theft and possession of small
amounts of drugs from felonies
that can carry lengthy sentences
to misdemeanors that can bring up
to a year in jail.
I dont believe the voters truly
knew what they were signing up
for, said Stanislaus County
Sheriff Adam Christianson, president of the California State
Sheriffs Association. Were not
asking that it be abolished. Were
asking for some adjustments to
help us do our jobs.
He is among officials and lawmakers from both parties who are
backing legislation to reverse
four parts of the measure:
SB333 and AB46 would give
prosecutors the option of filing
felony charges against suspects
accused of possessing certain
date-rape drugs. If approved by the

State brief
Family backs mom of infant
found dead along river
KNIGHTS LANDING The family of the
mother suspected in the death of her 20-dayold boy said they are supporting her.
Authorities found the three-week old body
of Justice Rees under heavy brush near the
Sacramento River Wednesday morning. His
disheveled and disoriented mother
Samantha Green was found nearby the
morning before outside the town of Knights
Landing, about 30 miles west of
Sacramento. The Yolo County coroner is
still investigating the cause of death and
says it appears the baby drowned or died of
hypothermia. Green, 23, has been arrested
on suspicion of murder.

Legislature, the bills by Sen.

Cathleen Galgiani, D-Stockton,
and Assemblymembers Tom
Lackey, R-Palmdale, and Melissa
Melendez, R-Lake Elsinore, would
ask voters to decide next year
whether to restore tougher penalties that backers say help deter
sexual assaults.
Proposition 47 reduced the collection of DNA because state law
allows taking samples only from
people charged with felonies.
AB390 would allow authorities to
collect DNA from criminals who
are convicted of crimes that were
previously felonies but are now
reclassified as misdemeanors
because of Proposition 47.
Forensic DNA is the greatest
tool ever given to law enforcement
to find the guilty and to exonerate
the
innocent,
Sacramento
District Attorney Anne Marie

Our family is grieving not only for the

loss of our grandson Justice, but also the
possible loss of our daughter Sami Green,
Greens parents said to the Sacramento Bee
(http://tinyurl. com/otyrodx ). She has
never been in trouble with the law. We know
in our heart that Sami would never do anything to intentionally harm her newborn
son Justice.
Greens partner and the father of the child
also offered his support.
I will stand by her side through all of
this, Rees told television station KXTV. I
know that she wouldnt intentionally hurt
that baby. If there was some sort of accident
or something that either shes not remembering or that she feels ashamed of or guilty
about, she knows Ill forgive her.
Green told authorities she and her son
were abducted Monday and that she spent
hours screaming for help.

Schubert said at a news conference

supporting
the
bill
by
Assemblyman Jim Cooper, D-Elk
Grove. The measure Cooper coauthored
with
Lackey,
Assemblyman Henry Perea, DFresno, and Sen. Lois Wolk, DDavis, requires only a majority
vote of the Legislature because it
does not change the sentences
approved under the ballot measure.
AB150 by Melendez and
Assemblyman Adam Gray, DMerced, would restore the felony
charge for stealing guns, if it is
approved by the Legislature and
by voters next year. Under
Proposition 47, stealing guns is
treated like any other theft of
property worth less than $950.
AB1104 would let authorities

Obama invoking civil rights struggles

By Nedra Pickler
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON For President

Barack Obama, its a week to
invoke Americas civil rights
struggles from past to present.
The nations first black president plans a speech Saturday from
the Edmund Pettus Bridge in
Selma, Alabama, the site of one of
the
movements
stirring
moments, and will refocus on last
years fatal shooting by a white
police officer of a black 18-yearold in Ferguson, Missouri.
Recommendations were expected Monday from the presidents
Task Force on 21st Century
Policing, appointed after Michael
Browns death in August. Attorney
General Eric Holder has said he
expects to announce results of his
departments investigation of the
case before he leaves office, and
that word could come within days.
Obamas actions are an important gesture toward the black community, which strongly backed
him in his two White House races

and will be critical for Democrats

in the 2016 presidential campaign
and their efforts to retake control
of Congress.
Former President George W.
Bush and his wife, Laura, also plan
to be at the Selma commemoration, and a large bipartisan congressional delegation planned to
be a part of a three-day civil rights
pilgrimage to the state.
The week also highlights the
personal racial politics of the first
black presidents past and future as
he plans Friday to make his first
return to South Carolina since the
2008 primary campaign in which
he and Hillary Rodham Clinton
fiercely fought for the states
black voters.
Obamas South Carolina event
is tied to his 1-year-old My
Brothers Keeper initiative aimed
at improving the lives of young
minority men, expected to be a
continuing focus for the president
after he leaves office.
From the Pettus bridge on March
7, 1965, white police officers beat
civil rights protesters in 1965.

Obama last visited the bridge

in 2007 when
he was a presidential candidate; this time
he is bringing
his entire family.
When I take
Barack Obama
Malia
and
Sasha down with Michelle next
week, down to Selma, part of what
Im hoping to do is to remind
them of their own obligations.
Because there are going to be
marches for them to march, and
struggles for them to fight,
Obama said at a White House event
Thursday
celebrating
Black
History Month.
The Rev. Raphael Warnock, pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in
Atlanta, where Martin Luther King
once preached, said voting rights
and criminal justice reform were the
main topics of a private meeting
Obama held with civil rights leaders
shortly before his public remarks.
There was agreement in the

room that voting rights is crucial,

that it is urgent and it ought to be
a nonpartisan issue, Warnock
said.
Warnock decried lawmakers for
celebrating Selmas anniversary
while failing to restore the Voting
Rights Act. In 2013, the Supreme
Court struck down the section that
determines which states and localities must get Washingtons
approval for proposed election
changes. The requirement was an
effort to stop voting discrimination, mostly in the South.
Congress has yet to come up with
a new formula.
The worst assault on voting
rights since the Voting Rights Act
was passed is happening right
now, Warnock said. You cant
celebrate Selma and sit on the
reauthorization.
Warnock said Obamas presidency has been a living tribute to the
sacrifices of the generation that
protested in Selma and elsewhere
to promote civil rights. But he
argued that a recent discussion
among possible 2016 Republican

Politics may play a bigger role

in drawing congressional maps
By Mark Sherman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON In a reversal of
the usual worries about political influence on electoral map-making, the
Supreme Court is being asked to let raw
politics play an even bigger role in the
drawing of congressional district
boundaries.
The court hears argument Monday in
an appeal by Republican lawmakers in
Arizona against the states voterapproved independent redistricting
commission for creating the districts
of U.S. House members. A decision
striking down the commission probably would doom a similar system in
neighboring California, and could
affect districting commissions in 11
other states.
The court previously has closed the
door to lawsuits challenging excessive
partisanship in redistricting, or gerry-

mandering. A gerrymandered district is

intentionally drawn, and sometimes
oddly shaped, to favor one political
party. Independent commissions such
as Arizonas may be the only meaningful check left to states that want to
foster more competitive elections,
reduce political polarization and bring
fresh faces into the political process,
the Obama administration said.
The court fight has one odd aspect:
California Republicans are rooting
against Arizona Republicans.
If the Republicans who control
Arizonas Legislature prevail, the
process for drawing district lines in
California for the nations largest congressional delegation, with 53 members, would returned to the heavily
Democratic Legislature. Three former
California
governors,
all
Republicans, filed a brief with the
court defending the independent redistricting commission that voters creat-

ed in 2008. California GOP chairman,

Jim Brulte, though officially neutral,
said most of us understand that this
could have a negative effect on
Republicans in California.
But Paul Clement, the lawyer for the
Arizona Legislature, said the likely
differing outcomes in Arizona and
California demonstrate that the issue
is not partisan.
An unelected commission may benefit Republicans in one state and
Democrats in another. But that simply
underscores that once congressional
redistricting is taken away from the
state legislatures and given to another
entity, there is no guarantee that such
an entity will be neutral, or favor one
party, or reflect the will of the people.
Whatever their shortcomings, state
legislatures are elected, politically
accountable and hand-picked by the
Constitutions authors for the mapdrawing task, Clement said.

presidential candidates over

whether Obama loves his country
is one example of how Obamas
election has highlighted continuing racism in America.
I think there are people who
still traffic in the narrow alley of
bigotry and I think that there are
politicians who sell bigotry as a
means of elevating their argument
or a narrow partisan interest,
Warnock said.
Obamas Monday meeting with
the police task force follows the
three-month deadline he set for
recommendations about how
police can build trust, accountability and transparency with the
communities they serve.
When he announced the task
forces creation in December,
Obama promised the result would
not be an endless report that
were going to have collecting
dust on the shelf.
Part of the reason this time will
be different is because the president of the United States is deeply
invested in making sure this time
is different, Obama said.

Around the Nation

Vermont town could let those
ages 16, 17, vote locally
BRATTLEBORO, Vt. Residents of Brattleboro,
Vermont, will vote on a ballot item that would let 16- and
17-year-olds vote in local elections.
Vermonts current voting age is 18, and that wouldnt
change for state and federal elections. The proposal by
Brattleboro resident Kurt Daims (DIMES) would move the
minimum age two years younger for town elections.
The town ballot will be held Tuesday. Town Clerk
Annette Cappy says shes not hearing a lot of support for
the measure among older voters.
Daims has previously brought new and different ideas to
the fore in Brattleboro.

Late-winter storms spread

across areas of Southwest
LOS ANGELES Parts of California were getting a welcome dose of rain and snow from a storm system moving
through the state, while late-winter weather dumped snow
elsewhere in the Southwest.
The snow was well received by California and Nevada
ski resorts.
It began snowing in the Sierra Nevada late Friday, and
the resorts reported receiving 12 to 18 inches of snow at
8,000 to 10,000 feet, said Jim Matthews, a meteorologist
with the National Weather Service in Sacramento.
We are thrilled, Melissa Matheney, a spokeswoman
for Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows ski resorts, told the
San Francisco Chronicle. We couldnt be happier with
this storm. It exceeded expectations, which is fantastic.
The Sugar Bowl ski resort near Donner Summit reported
up to 2 feet of snow by Saturday afternoon.
The storm system also brought scattered showers as it
moved into the central and southern areas of California
late in the afternoon.
The weather service said around 7 p.m., light rain moved
toward the wildfire-scarred hillsides above Glendora and
Asuza east of Los Angeles, the site of the devastating
Colby Fire in January 2014.

Kerry tries to dampen fuss over Israeli PMs speech

By Bradley Klapper
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Secretary of
State John Kerry on Sunday tried
to calm tensions with Israel before
Prime
Minister
Benjamin
Netanyahus
congressional
address, yet insisted the Obama
administrations
diplomatic
record with Iran entitles the U.S.
to the benefit of the doubt as
negotiators work toward a longterm nuclear deal. On a mission to
warn of the dangers of a nucleararmed Iran, the prime minister
arrived in Washington for the
speech the White House didnt
want him to give.
Kerry said in an interview broadcast before he arrived in
Switzerland for talks with Irans
foreign minister that Netanyahu
was welcome to speak in the U.S.
and that the administration did not
want the event turned into some
great political football.

That sentiment was a step

back
from
some of the
sharp rhetoric
between
the
allies in recent
weeks,
and
Kerry
mentioned that he
Benjamin
talked
to
Netanyahu
Netanyahu as
recently as Saturday.
But Kerry stressed that Israel
was safer as a result of the shortterm nuclear pact that world powers and Iran reached in late 2013,
and he described that improvement as the standard we will
apply to any agreement with the
Islamic Republic.
Officials have described the
United States, Europe, Russia and
China as considering a compromise that would see Irans nuclear
activities severely curtailed for at
least a decade, with the restric-

$2.1 million deficit, as well as a 1 percent
pay reduction for all district staff. And
though the cuts to personnel cannot be
approved without consent through collective bargaining, the boards action sends a
message to district teachers, who are asking
for their first raise in nearly a decade.
A main source of revenue that the district
had relied upon was money from the sale of
Carl Sandburg Elementary School, which
earned $30.5 million in 2005. Decreases in
enrollment forced the school to close in
1978, and some of those same concerns
still plague the district today.
Superintendent David Hutt said historically for every one student entering the district, nearly 2.5 are leaving via interdistrict
transfers, which can have a profound impact
on the bottom line through money allocated to the district from the state for average
daily attendance.
From the 2009-2010 school year to last
year, the district grew by 165 students, from
2,620 to 2,785 students. In that same time,
the similarly sized Millbrae School District
grew by 269 students, from 2,176 to 2,445.

Reputation woes
Raul Gomez, a parent of a student of El
Crystal, said he wondered whether uncertainty surrounding the budget may harm the
districts reputation, and discourage parents
from wanting to enroll their kids in San
Bruno schools.
People have heard whats going on with
the district, and that might keep them
away, he said.
The future of El Crystal, which advertises
itself to students outside the district
through offering creative programming,
may hang in the balance of the districts
ability to attract and retain students.
Johnson said along with floating the
issue of school closure, consolidation with
another smaller elementary school has been
discussed as well.
Closing the doors on El Crystal would
devastate some members of the school community, who have traditionally appreciated
the district offering smaller, neighborhood
schools.
Wendy Al-Mukdad, parent of a student at
El Crystal, said she loves sending her child
to a school that offers a tight-knit atmosphere.
The community here is a huge asset, she
said. It really benefits my son to be here.
Hes very happy.
Elementary schools in the district range
between roughly 250 and 350 students but
Hutt said the state model for elementary
school is typically about twice that
amount, and should the community wish to
keep smaller neighborhood schools, the
district may be forced to test the financial

tions and U.S. and Western economic penalties eased in the final
years of a deal.
We are going to test whether or
not diplomacy can prevent this
weapon from being created, so you
dont have to turn to additional
measures including the possibility of a military confrontation,
Kerry told ABCs This Week.
Our hope is that diplomacy can
work. And I believe, given our
success of the interim agreement,
we deserve the benefit of the doubt
to find out whether or not we can
get a similarly good agreement
with respect to the future.
Netanyahu will press his opposition to a diplomatic accommodation of Irans program in his
speech Tuesday to Congress. We
are not here to offend President
Obama whom we respect very
much, said a Netanyahu adviser,
who was not authorized to be identified.
The prime minister is here to

commitment of residents.
He suggested that the community might
need to support a parcel tax, which would
offer a dedicated source of money for the district to climb out of its budget hole, and
could provide sustainable revenue for future
years. Voters shot down a $199 parcel tax
on the fall 2012 election ballot.
But there could be a natural resolution to
the districts budget problems on the horizon as well, said Hutt.
Currently, San Bruno Park is defined as a
basic aid district, but Hutt said as the budget
development process continues, the district
may switch classification to be considered a
revenue limit district, which would change
its revenue model from being driven by
property taxes to accepting funds from the
state.
Hutt said the district expects to report
more about its most property valuation
data, which would affect the funding model,
at the Board of Trustees meeting Wednesday,
March 11.

Budget options
But considering the instability of funding
models, and the structural nature of the district deficit, Trustee Henry Sanchez said
officials may still need to keep all budget
options on the table.
One or two schools need to be closed,
said Sanchez. If you have all these budgetary issues, how can you sustain this for the
long term?
He said he hoped that the discussion about
district finances could galvanize the school
district and local residents.
Were going to have to make decisions
that arent going to be popular. But we can
come out of this and be a better community, he said.
Parents and students have rallied before
board meetings where cuts were being discussed to express support for teachers and
staff.
Engagement in the budget process has
been beneficial for all involved in the district, said Sanchez, who hopes to continue
the dialogue with the community over the
coming months.

Community involvement
Gary Pettinari, president of the districts
classified union, said communication
between officials and broader school community could also help resolve some of the
prevailing financial woes.
In the process of attempting to balance
the budget for the coming year, Pettinari
has suggested classified staff take control
of services that are currently outsourced,
such as running special education transportation, which could save the district
nearly $300,000.
Some residents and members of the
school community have also taken to looking for additional revenue sources, such as
grant writing or increased contributions to
the community support fund for schools.

warn, in front of any stage possible, the dangers of the agreement

that may be taking shape.
The adviser, who spoke shortly
before the delegation touched
down in Washington, said Israel
was well aware of the details of the
emerging nuclear deal and they
included Western compromises
that were dangerous for Israel.
Still, he tried to lower tensions by
saying that Israel does not
oppose every deal and was merely
doing its best to warn the U.S. of
the risks entailed in the current
one.
The invitation to speak to
Congress extended by House
Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio,
and Netanyahus acceptance have
caused an uproar that has exposed
tensions between Israel and the
U.S., its most important ally.
By consenting to speak,
Netanyahu angered the White
House, which was not consulted in
advance, and Democrats, who were

forced to choose between showing

support for Israel and backing the
president.
I will do everything in my ability to secure our future,
Netanyahu said before flying to
Washington.
Boehner said Irans nuclear
ambitions were a threat well
beyond the region.
Were not going to resolve this
issue by sticking our heads in the
sand, Boehner told CBS Face
the Nation.
He said Netanyahu can talk
about this threat, I believe, better
than anyone. And the United
States Congress wants to hear
from him, and so do the American
people.
The congressional speech also
has sparked criticism in Israel,
where Netanyahu is seeking reelection on March 17. He also
planned to speak Monday at the
annual conference of the proIsrael lobby AIPAC.

30,000 marchers mourn slain Putin foe

By Laura Mills
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MOSCOW For the tens of

thousands bearing flowers and
tying black ribbons to railings in
honor of slain Russian opposition politician Boris Nemtsov,
the solemn march through the
Moscow drizzle on Sunday was a
time for silence, not slogans.
The marchers occasionally
broke into chants of Russia without Putin, or Say no to war, but
often the only sound was the
steady thwack of police helicopters overhead or the hum of police
boats patrolling the shores of the
Moscow River.
While the killing of Nemtsov
has shaken the Russian opposition, which sees the Kremlin as
responsible, it is unclear whether

his death will be enough to invigorate the beleaguered movement.

Despite the Ukraine conflict and
Russias economic crisis, support
for President Vladimir Putin has
been above 80 percent in the past
year.
Since mass anti-Putin protests
brought hundreds of thousands to
the streets of Moscow in 2011 and
2012, Putin has marginalized and
intimidated his political opponents, jailing some, driving others into exile, and ramping up
fines and potential jail time for
those detained at protests.
The 55-year-old Nemtsov was
among the few prominent opposition figures who refused to be
cowed. But while many at the
march expressed respect for his
long political career and grief at
his loss, few believed that his

Iraq PM promises to retake Tikrit

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD Iraqs prime minister

called on Sunni tribal fighters to abandon the Islamic State group Sunday,
ahead of a promised offensive to retake
Saddam Husseins hometown from the
extremists.
Haider al-Abadi offered no timeline
for an attack on Tikrit, the hometown
of the late Iraqi dictator some 130 kilometers (80 miles) north of Baghdad
that fell into the hands of the Islamic
State group last summer. However,
Shiite militias and Iraqi security forces

have stationed themselves around

Tikrit as state-run media has warned
that the city will soon return to its
people.
But sending Shiite militias into the
Sunni city of Tikrit, the capital of
Iraqs Salahuddin province, could
reprise the bloody, street-by-street
insurgent battles that followed the
2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. On
Saturday, two suicide car bombers
killed 16 nearby Shiite militiamen and
wounded 31.
Al-Abadi offered what he called the
last chance for Sunni tribal fighters,

promising them a pardon during a

news conference in Samarra, 95 kilometers (60 miles) north of Baghdad.
His office said he arrived in Samarra to
supervise the operation to liberate
Tikrit from the terrorist gangs.
I call upon those who have been
misled or committed a mistake to lay
down arms and join their people and
security forces in order to liberate their
cities, al-Abadi said.
Al-Abadi said the operation will see
troops come from several directions,
but he declined to give an exact time
for the operations start.

Unmasked Jihadi John loses impact

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON As Jihadi John, he

was a terrifying figure, his identity
concealed by a black mask, his threatening tone backed up by his oversize,
serrated knife and his willingness to
use it in the name of Islamic State and
its self-declared caliphate.
His professional-looking videos
began with a political rant and ended
with his victims lying dead at his feet,
severed heads cupped in the sands of
Syria. He seemed both judge and executioner, savoring each fresh kill.

After the 9/11 attacks on the U.S.,

many believed that terrorists would
turn to crude weapons of mass destructions to attack cities. Few predicted
that a man with a knife and a video production team could have such an
impact using a medieval technique.
Now that he has been exposed as
Mohammed Emwazi, the tall man with
the British accent and mocking tone is
no longer a mystery. He is revealed as
one more furious young Londoner, in
this case a well-educated, middle-class
jihadi in his mid-20s who turned
against his adopted country.

His unmasking may well have

reduced his usefulness to the cause.
For one thing, with his identity
known, and the global distribution of
pictures of him looking slightly
goofy in an ill-fitting Pittsburgh
Pirates baseball cap, Emwazi may
become less sinister to viewers, less
able to send chills up the spines of
people who abhor Islamic States
claim to be killing civilians in the
name of Islam. If he kills again on
camera, the element of surprise will be
gone and the reaction may well be,
Oh, him again.

death would spark major change in

Russia because of the Kremlins
control over national television,
where a vast majority of Russians
get their news.
Maybe if 100 people were to
die people would rise up, but I
dont really believe in that, said
Sergei Musakov, 22.
People are so under the influence of the (TV) box that they will
believe anything that television
tells them. If it tells them that terrorists from the Islamic State
group came to Russia in order to
blow up the fifth column, theyll
believe it, Musakov said.
The Kremlin had identified
Nemtsov as among the leaders of a
fifth column, painting him and
other opposition figures as traitors in the service of a hostile
West.

Sierra Leones vice president
in quarantine for Ebola
FREETOWN, Sierra Leone Sierra Leones vice president
has put himself in quarantine following the death from
Ebola of one of his security guards.
Vice President Samuel Sam-Sumana is set to become acting president later Sunday when President Ernest Bai
Koroma leaves Sierra Leone to attend a European Union conference on Ebola in Belgium. Sam-Sumana will carry out his
presidential duties from his home.
He is the highest ranking African official to be in quarantine in this Ebola outbreak in West Africa, which is fast
approaching a death toll of 10,000. The news highlights
the rise of new cases in Sierra Leone, which has experienced
a setback in curbing the spread of Ebola.
Sam-Sumana voluntarily decided to quarantine himself for
21 days following the death from Ebola last Tuesday of one
of his security personnel.
This virus has affected thousands of our people and has
nearly brought our country to its knees, said Sam-Sumana
in a statement on Sunday. We all have a collective responsibility to break the chains of transmission by isolating the
sick and reporting all known contacts, by not touching the
dead ... We cannot be complacent. We must work together as
a nation to end Ebola now.

New plane tracking to be

tested after Malaysia jet mystery
SYDNEY Australia, Indonesia and Malaysia will lead a
trial of an enhanced method of tracking aircraft over remote
oceans to allow planes to be more easily found should they
vanish like Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, Australias transport minister said Sunday.
The announcement comes one week ahead of the anniversary of the disappearance of Flight 370, which vanished last
year during a flight from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to
Beijing with 239 people on board. No trace of the plane has
been found.
Airservices Australia, a government-owned agency that
manages the countrys airspace, will work with its
Malaysian and Indonesian counterparts to test the new
method, which would enable planes to be tracked every 15
minutes, rather than the previous rate of 30 to 40 minutes,
Australian Transport Minister Warren Truss said. The tracking would increase to 5 minutes or less if there is a deviation
in the planes movements.

Venezuela to shrink US Embassy

staff, require tourist visas
CARACAS, Venezuela Venezuela will shrink the size of
the U.S. Embassy staff, limit the activities of U.S. diplomats and require American citizens to apply for visas if they
want to come bask on the beach.
Speaking before a crowd that rallied to protest imperialism, President Nicolas Maduro said Saturday that gringo
meddling had forced him to adopt the series of restrictive
measures, which include requiring U.S. diplomats to seek
approval from the Foreign Ministry for meetings they conduct here.
Maduro said he was imposing the new tourist visa requirement for national security reasons, saying that in recent
days authorities had detained several U.S. citizens who he
alleged were involved in espionage, including an American
pilot.
The president and other officials gave no specific information on any Americans in custody, and the U.S. Embassy
did not respond to a request for comment. Earlier in the day,
Venezuela released four missionaries from North Dakota
who had been detained several days ago for unknown reasons. They were banned from coming back for two years.

Children should be vaccinated
Editor,
I was disappointed to read Patricia
Grays letter in the Feb. 27 edition of
the Daily Journal in which she
implied that the measles vaccination
was not safe because of a list of
potential (very rare) side effects from
the vaccine. No medical treatment,
from taking an aspirin to having surgery, is absolutely risk-free. Every
treatment potentially has some risk
on some small part of the population.
But the key point, one that Ms. Gray
didnt seem to consider, was that the
side effects of measles were far more
serious, and common, than the potential side effects of not being vaccinated. Beyond the normal symptoms of
measles, its side effects may include:
ear infections, lung infections, scarring, encephalitis and related brain
damage and death (especially in very
young and very old segments of the
population).
So Id suggest that Ms. Gray take a
holistic approach to vaccinations and
see that the risks of not vaccinating a
child far outweigh the risks of vaccinating one. Finally, Ms. Gray lost all
medical credibility when she stated
the fact that uoride reduces cavities
in children has not been proven.
Any search of medical and dental journals will come up with several peerreviewed studies countering her statement.

Rent stabilization needed

What to do about the pricing out of

increases? Rent stabilization and
greater tenant protections from no

answer. For those who see a religious
conviction in opposing any regulation on their property rights, I
state that since before ancient Rome
there have been regulations on the
sovereignty of property owners.
Landlord protections and the rights of
tenants are again an issue that has
been dealt with in other places and in
other ways. There is rent stabilization regulation in towns from East
Palo Alto to San Rafael to Los Altos
(believe it or not). Presently, the pendulum is swinging entirely the way of
landlords.
For those who see it as an interference with free market forces, I say
as the demand exists for lower-cost
housing and is not met by the market
then obviously the market is distorted and not free. San Francisco
Supervisor David Campos has an
excellent letter in the Feb. 25 edition

Lopez versus Wagstaffe

Editor,
The drought is severe and will possibly continue for years if we do not
reign in our CO2 emissions. When I
walk in the neighborhood and see
sprinklers going and water in the gutters, I wonder if people forget that we
had little snow and that we have no
reserves for the year or the future. Let
your lawn go. We need drinking
water.

John Baker
South San Francisco

Delivery of the
San Francisco Examiner

of the San Francisco Examiner on the

subject. Assemblyman Kevin Mullin,
D-South San Francisco, just hosted an
informational town hall meetup on
the issue and what became painfully
obvious was the near complete lack
of tenant protection from most any
and all increases and no cause evictions. Naturally, the most easily
enforced and least intrusive rules are
the best but lets not fool ourselves,
this market is very broken and needs
regulation. Providing human shelter
as well as foodstuffs, water and utilities all undergo regulation for the
general good. No rocket science is
required here.

Editor,
I am acquainted with sheriffs
Deputy Juan Lopez, and District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. When Juan
ran as a write-in candidate for sheriff,
I voted for him. I later met him and
his ancee at a San Mateo County
Libertarian Party meeting.Mark De
Paula, John McDowell and I, running
as a team for the Sequoia Healthcare
District Board of Directors, sought
and received the party endorsement.
Juan helped Mark place campaign
signs for the team. I trust Juan
Lopez.
My experience with Wagstaffe was
in relation to a complaint I led
regarding three sitting Sequoia
Healthcare District directors Kane,
Grifn and Faro, who had voted themselves an increase in health insurance
benets. After exchanging communications with Mark Hudak, counsel for
the district, the DAs ofce declined to
take action to seek return of benets
erroneously received by the trio.
Hudak is well known in the San
Mateo County legal community. Was
this a conict of interest? Shouldnt
the DA have referred this to the attorney general or the civil grand jury?
See:
http://www.xshcd.com/SHDbenetInc
rease.html. I question Wagstaffes
purpose in prosecuting Deputy
Lopez.

Mammograms
and measles

reast cancer is the most common diagnosed cancer in California, regardless of race/ethnicity, and
accounts for 32 percent of all cancers in women.
It is the second leading cause of cancer deaths (lung cancer
is rst). For women, it is an especially personal disease
and one that many women most fear. So it is especially
frustrating when there are mixed signals about when and
how often to have a mammogram.
The good news is that screening techniques have signicantly improved. According to Harriett Borofsky, M.D.,
medical director of the Mills-Peninsulas Womens Center,
3DMammography/Digital
Breast Tomonsythesis
(DBT) is the most impactful technology that I will
see and utilize in my medical career. Minimally
invasive breast biopsies,
breast ultrasound and breast
MRI have had an enormous
impact on our ability to
detect breast cancer. It is
just that DBT is a much
better mammogram for the
thousands of women who
are screened each year. For
us, that is about 25,000.
Mills-Peninsula has
replaced all ve of its mammography units with DBTs.
According to Dr. Borofsky, this technology improves
upon the major limitation of mammography: overlapping
tissue. In addition to the standard views, the computer
reformats the data and displays it to the doctor in 1 mm
thin sections through the breast, like pages in a book.
Since installing our new units, from mid-January to midApril last year, our call-back rate (number of women we
call back for additional views) is down 30 percent and our
breast cancer detection rate has signicantly increased.
***
Nationally, incidence of breast cancer increased about 8
percent from 1988-2001 due to screening. Incidence
slightly decreased from 2001-2004 after the Womens
Health Initiative reported an association between hormonal therapy and breast cancer and many post-menopausal
women discontinued their hormone use. The incidence of
breast cancer has been steady since 2009 but deaths due to
breast cancer continue to decline by about 2.2 percent per
year.
In San Mateo County, the incidence of breast cancer
(2004-2008) was 133/100,000, slightly higher compared
to breast cancer among all California women of
122/100,000. Non-Hispanic white women have highest
incidence. African-American women have highest death
rate.
The majority of breast cancer is diagnosed at Stages 0
and 1 due to mammographic screening. Thats a good
thing because overall survival is directly related to stage
at diagnosis. The percentage of women who have had
mammograms within the past two years in California in
2010 was 78 percent. Unfortunately, fewer women are
having regular mammograms due to confusing and conicting recommendations.
Heres the current advice from the American Cancer
Society and other experts: annual mammographic screening for women 40 and older, unless there is a family history of premenopausal breast cancer. Then screening may be
started at an earlier age
***
Its difcult to believe that we have a new measles threat
in this country because some people refuse to vaccinate
their children and because some politicians (Chris
Christie, Rand Paul) have said stupid things in the past on
which they are now backtracking. These individuals have
never had the measles as adults or have children who
caught the virus.
As a veteran of this horrible disease, let me say these
people are crazy. My children and I never had the measles
vaccine. It was yet to be available.The baby caught the
virus rst and was very sick. My oldest child was recovering at home from a tonsillectomy when I got sick. You
have heard the expression I coughed all night. Well, I
literally coughed all night and draining the contents of a
bottle of cough medicine didnt help. I thought I was
going to die. The next morning I couldnt get out of bed
and I had two sick children to mother. I called our pediatrician who made a house call (Yes, doctors once made house
calls). He gave me and older son a shot of gamma globulin
which was supposed to minimize the disease. I guess it
did, because we survived. But anyone who doesnt get this
vaccine for themselves and their children is a danger to
society and especially to infants and those, who for
health reasons, cannot.

Congress dysfunction shows no limits

By Andrew Taylor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Congress
dysfunction isnt limited to the
struggle to keep a Cabinet department running without interruption.
Lawmakers couldnt finish their
work last year and its showing
now. The leftover business could
prove even more divisive than the
dispute over rolling back
President Barack Obamas immigration policies on a bill providing money for the Department of
Homeland Security.
Stretches of brinkmanship are
certain to consume much of the
legislative calendar in 2015. One
critical issue is whether to
increase the nations borrowing
authority. That debate could have
major repercussions for the recovering economy.
The to-do list includes forestalling a 21 percent cut in
Medicare payments to physicians,
preventing a cutoff of highway
and transit dollars in the middle of
peak construction season this
summer and renewing critical
parts of the Patriot Act.
Theres also a debate among

Republicans, the majority on

Capitol Hill, about whether to
renew the charter of the ExportImport Bank, which provides
credit to purchasers of U. S.
exports.
We havent even started talking about either one, (Medicare
payments) or highways, said
Rep. Sander Levin of Michigan,
top Democrat on the powerful
House
Ways
and
Means
Committee. So that shows how
procrastinated all this is.
Approaching are deadlines for
longer-term legislation set to
expire, including the Childrens
Health Insurance Program.
A look at Capitol Hills leftover
agenda and expiring laws that may
be renewed, with an assessment of
the degree of difficulty:

MEDICARE FEES
Doctors who participate in
Medicare face a 21 percent cut in
their payments at the end of
March. Because of a flawed formula dating to 1997, Medicare doctors are threatened with big fee
cuts almost every year. Congress
has since stepped in 17 times to
prevent the cuts but has failed to
permanently fix the problem.

Lawmakers hope to resolve the

issue once and for all this year. In
the meantime, they plan a temporary fix that would buy six months
or so. Shouldnt be too difficult.

riers. This split clearly has the

bank in danger of losing its charter. Very difficult.

HIGHWAY FUNDING

The governments borrowing

authority lapses on March 15.
Filing-season tax surpluses and
Treasury Department accounting
maneuvers could delay the need for
Congress to step in until August
or later. Action is mandatory or
else the government would default
on its obligations.
In 2011, House Speaker John
Boehner, R-Ohio, used the debt
limit as leverage to pry spending
cuts from President Barack
Obama. Since then, Obama has
refused to negotiate. Last year,
Boehner had to rely on Democratic
votes to pass an extension.
Raising the debt limit again will
prove difficult, but it must be
done.

Authority to spend money from

the highway trust fund expires
May 31, the end of a reprieve
passed last fall. The uncertainty is
slowing construction in some
states. A long-term fix wont be
ready by then, so the most likely
solution is Congress will punt
again. Even doing that requires
coming up with billions of dollars
to fix the short-term shortfall,
which wont be easy.

EXPORT-IMPORT BANK
On June 30, temporary authority
expires for the bank. Critics say it
picks winners such as Boeing Co.
and General Electric and that too
little of its financing benefits
small business. The bank has support from Democrats and establishment Republicans but increasingly is opposed by conservatives, who note that its subsidies
for foreign purchasers of exports
such as jumbo jets give foreign
airlines advantages over U.S. car-

DEBT LIMIT

PATRIOT ACT
Three controversial provisions
expire June 1: authorizing the
bulk collection of telephone
records, obtaining surveillance
warrants without naming the person being wiretapped, and allowing surveillance of foreigner sus-

pected of terrorist activity but who

are not affiliated with a terrorist
organization. Both left and right
oppose the provisions, but solid
majorities are likely to back them
amid the growing threat from the
Islamic State group. Obama
signed a four-year extension in
2011. Not too hard.

CHILDRENS HEALTH
The Childrens Health Insurance
Program, which provides health
coverage to millions of children
in low-income families, expires
Sept. 30. Theres pressure to
renew it well before then because
state legislatures are drafting their
budgets for the upcoming fiscal
year, which begins July 1 in most
places. A fight is unlikely because
top Republicans such as GOP Sen.
Orrin Hatch of Utah, chairman of
the Senate Finance Committee,
and Michigan Rep. Fred Upton,
chairman of the House Energy and
Commerce Committee, are proposing to tighten eligibility for
the program, possibly taking
away insurance from many children, and roll back a scheduled
increase in federal matching funds
to states.
Tricky, but doable.

Samsung ditches plastic design for modern look

By Anick Jesdanun
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK
Samsung,
locked in a tight race with Apple
to be the worlds biggest smartphone maker, has unveiled an
important new phone that ditches
its signature plastic design for
more stylish metal and glass.
The South Korean phone manufacturer also unveiled a premium
model with a display that curves
around the left and right edges so
that information can be glanced at
on the side. The Galaxy S6 and S6
Edge will both include technology
for mobile payments, though
Samsung isnt unveiling a service
to rival the iPhones Apple Pay
until this summer.
Samsung and Apple have gone
back and forth as the worlds top
smartphone maker in recent years.
Apples iPhone 6 and 6 Plus,
released last year, have helped the
Cupertino, California, company
catch up. Both of Apples new
phones were designed to be larger
than previous versions and their
size was heavily marketed, in part
to appeal to customers who liked
Samsungs large phones.

Now Samsungs Galaxy will be

made with metal and glass like
the iPhone.
Although the resolution of the
phones rear camera remains at 16
megapixels, cameras on both
sides will have wider openings to
let in more light and make for
sharper photos. The phones also
promise better focus and color
accuracy achieved in part by
using the infrared capabilities on
the phones heart-rate sensor to
detect lighting conditions.
Earlier Sunday, HTC announced
a new HTC One smartphone that
also sports a better camera, while
keeping such previously lauded
elements as a metal design and
polished finish. HTC Corp. also
unveiled a fitness tracker, the
Grip. Unlike trackers from
Jawbone and Fitbit, the Grip isnt
meant for couch potatoes looking
to motivate themselves by counting steps. Rather, HTC is partnering with sports clothing maker
Under Armour to offer features for
those with active lifestyles.
The announcements come on the
eve of this weeks Mobile World
Congress wireless show in
Barcelona, Spain.

Samsung Electronics Co. said

its new design took years to develop. As phones got thinner, the
company inevitably ended up
with a device thats very cold and
very industrial, said Hong Yeo, a
senior designer at Samsung. The
companys Project Zero team
was given the freedom to design
our dream device, he said.
The new models use glass on
both sides, encased in a metal
frame. The software will also be
simplified. Many of the icons, for
instance, will be replaced with
text to reduce guesswork.
Previous Samsung phones had
removable plastic backs, so the
battery could be swapped with a
spare. Samsung now joins Apple,
HTC and others in favoring a better design over that replacement
capability. Samsung is promoting
the new phones ability to charge
quickly in 30 minutes they can
reach 50 percent.
The screen remains 5.1 inches,
but the display resolution increases to 577 pixels per inch, up from
432 in last years Galaxy S5. By
comparison, Apples 4. 7-inch
iPhone 6 has 326. The fingerprint
sensor is also improved. Instead

of swiping down on the home button, you simply touch it, much the
way you already do on iPhones.
Both the S6 and the S6 Edge are
slightly lighter, thinner and narrower than the S5, though they are
a tad taller.
Samsungs new phones will
incorporate technology from
LoopPay, a startup that Samsung
is buying. LoopPays technology
reproduces the signals from a credit cards magnetic swipe, so it can
work with existing retail equipment. Most rivals, including
Apple Pay, require newer equipment.
The Samsung phones will debut
overseas on April 10, at prices to
be announced. A U.S. launch date
wasnt given. Samsung is also
making an S6 version of its Gear
VR virtual-reality headset, which
currently works only with the
Galaxy Note 4.
HTCs Grip fitness tracker will
cost $199 when it goes on sale in
North America this spring. The
new HTC One phone, dubbed M9,
is expected to come out in March
in some overseas markets. A U.S.
debut is likely in April. Prices
werent immediately announced.

Greece to seek talks on debt rescheduling

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATHENS, Greece Greece

intends to start discussions with
its creditors on debt rescheduling
in order to make the countrys
massive debt sustainable, at the
same time as working on reform
measures that need to be cemented
by April, the finance minister said
Saturday.
Yanis Varoufakis also said
Athens will prioritize debt repayments to the International
Monetary Fund, some of which
come due in March, but that repayments to the European Central
Bank are in a different league
and will need discussion with
Greeces creditors.

The IMF repayments of course

we are going to prioritize, we are
not going to be the first country
not to meet our obligations to the
IMF, Varoufakis said in his office
in the Finance Ministry. We shall
squeeze blood out of stone if we
need to do this on our own, and we
shall do it.
However, the ECB repayments
are in a different league and we
shall have to determine this in
association with our partners and
the institutions.
Greece faces IMF repayments in
March of about 1.5 billion euros,
and about 6.7 billion euros to the
ECB in the summer. But it is facing a
cash crunch and will struggle with
scheduled repayment of its debts.

Athens wouldnt ask for a delay

in repayment in its ECB obligations, the minister noted, but
rather something that would make
the repayments easier to achieve.
I do not believe the ECB would
accept a delay, but what we can do
is we can package a deal that
makes these repayments palatable
and reasonably doable as part of
our overall negotiation regarding
the Greek debt, and the next ...
contract for growth for the Greek
economy between us and the partners.
Last week, Greece won a fourmonth extension to its 240 billion-euro international loan
agreement earlier this month in a
deal with the other members of the

19-nation eurozone. In return,

Athens has pledged a series of
budget reforms, which for now
contain no details but will have to
be turned into concrete measures
by April.
Those measures, Varoufakis
said, were Greeces priority, but
tackling the countrys oversize
debt was also necessary.
The April agreement concerns
reforms. And this is our imperative. Our imperative is to reform
this country, the minister said.
At the same time, and independently of the April agreement
... we intend to begin the conversation with our partners and institutions regarding debt sustainability and debt rescheduling.

For years, HTC has kept its

phones main camera at 4
megapixels and made sensors for
each of those pixels larger to capture more light. Thats great for
low-light situations, but it results
in dull shots otherwise. The cameras low resolution is particularly
noticeable when cropping photos. Customers love the great
low-light performance, but wanted
more pixels for editing, HTC
executive Luis Sanchez told the
Associated Press.
The new phone will have a 20megapixel rear camera, on par with
other leading Android phones. The
lens will be made of sapphire to protect from scratches. The 4-megapixel rear camera from previous models
will move to the front, where lowlight capabilities are more important because the front doesnt have a
flash.
The new HTC phone also will
offer home screens customized to
your location. At home, for
instance, you might get easy
access to Netflix and Facebook. At
the train station, you might get
suggestions for transit apps. Like
last years model, the screen will
measure 5 inches diagonally.

Gunderson to reach CCS semis
Monday March 2, 2015

Versatile Swig helps send Menlo to semis

Swig ended up assisting on both Menlo
goals, but she was far from one dimensional. She had her opportunities to score as
well. At about 5-10, Swig dominated in the
air, nearly heading home a pair of crosses in
the first half. She headed one over the top in
the second minute of the game and in 23rd,
she hammered one off the post.
All of it was simply a buildup to the games
first goal. Two minutes after Swig rang the
post, she helped set up the Knights first
goal of the game. Swig received a pass about
30 yards from goal and quickly touched it to
Enright streaking down the left flank.

Enright carried it to the end line before whipping a cross to the far right post.
Walker was stationed there and headed the
ball into the net for a 1-0 Menlo lead.
Its great to get that first goal, said
Menlo coach Donoson FitzGerald.
Menlo (12-4-4 overall) did catch a break in
the opening minutes when Harbor (10-6-3) was
awarded an indirect free kick just outside the
penalty box when the Menlo goalkeeper, on a
ball back to her, picked it up inches outside the
penalty box, drawing a hand-ball infraction.

CAMPBELL Leah Swig has two positions

listed by her name on the Menlo School
girls soccer roster: forward and midfielder.
Saturday, she was positioned as the former but played as the latter. Swig triggered a
Menlo offense that scored once in each half
as the sixth-seeded Knights kept alive their
hopes of back-to-back titles as they beat
No. 3 Harbor 2-0 in Central Coast Section
Division III playoff game Saturday at
Westmont High School.

Saturday night was DeJeane Stines

night.
When Menlos sixth-man checked into
the Central Coast Section Division IV
girls basketball quarterfinal in the second
quarter, her Knights were trailing Castilleja
by eight points. But the sophomore couldnt miss a shot and quickly propelled Menlo
into the lead.
Stine totaled 10 points to help the No. 2seed Knights to a 49-34 victory over No. 7
Castilleja at Menlo. The victory marks the
third time Menlo has defeated Castilleja this
season after the Knights swept the season
series in West Bay Athletic League play.
We have quite a lot of different girls to
give us energy, but no one quite like
DeJeane Stine, both on the offensive side
and on the defensive side, Menlo head
coach John Paye said. She buried some
shots for us and got us going.
Menlo (17-8) scuffled through the opening quarter as Castilleja (12-14) got hot
from beyond the arc. The Gators had no
problems weaving through the Knights
aggressive full-court press early and benefitted by knocking down three 3-pointers in
the quarter two from junior Ellie Chen and
one from senior Paige Vermeer.
The sharpshooting tandem sparked a 10-0
run spanning into the second quarter as
Menlo was ice cold from 3-point land. The
Knights shot 1-of-8 from beyond the arc in
the first quarter. But for all their unproductive persistence from the outside, the
Knights solved the offensive glut in a hurry
when they started driving to the hoop.
It was physical, Menlo point guard Sam
Erisman said. They brought it. We both
wanted it, but for us to beat them twice during the season and then to face them in CCS,
we knew that they wanted it. So, we were just
trying to up them. But yeah, they were playing physical and it made us play physical.

CAMPBELL For 70 minutes, the

Burlingame boys soccer team was the equal of
Santa Cruz in the quarterfinals of the Central
Coast Section Division III tournament at
Westmont High School Saturday afternoon.
Both the fifth-seeded Panthers and fourthseeded Cardinals scored second half goals
with both squads going up and down the
field in an entertaining match.
But it was the opening 10 minutes during
which the game was decided. Santa Cruz
scored in the ninth minute, took a 2-0 lead
with a goal in the 63rd and then withstood a
furious Burlingame rally over the final 20
minutes. The Panthers pulled one goal back
in the 70th minute and came agonizingly
close to scoring the equalizer in stoppage
time before falling 2-1.
We never quit, Burlingame coach Dave
Siracusa said. We just went for it.
After warding off several close calls by
Santa Cruz (14-5-3 overall), keeping it a
one-goal game, Burlingame (11-8-3) nearly
pulled off an improbable equalizer. The
Panthers earned a free kick about 50 yards
from the Santa Cruz goal. Dan Dobson sent
the kick into the mixer at the top of the
penalty box. Amidst the scrum of players
was the Santa Cruz goalkeeper, who was,
inexplicably, 15 yards off his line trying to
slap the ball clear.
The ball eventually squirted out to
Burlingames Josh Levitan, who was stationed just outside the penalty box. Levitan
hit a low line drive that saw its way through
traffic and appeared destined for the back of
the empty net.
Unfortunately for the Panthers, a Santa
Cruz defender, at the last second, cleared the
ball of the goal line to preserve the
Cardinals lead.

Half Moon Bay wrestling sends three to state

By Iris Hung
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

Half Moon Bay brought home a trio of

top-three finishes and was the highest placing of all Peninsula Athletic League teams
Saturday at the Central Coast Section
wrestling championships.
EdRey Casamina (113) and Emilio
Bautista (120) each finished third in their
weight classes, and Marcos Sarabia (220)
finished runner-up. All three qualified for

the boys state wrestling

tournament next weekend at Rabobank Arena
in Bakersfield.
As a team, Half Moon
Bay finished fourth out
of more than 100 teams
with 110.5 points from
the two-day tournament.
Leading the team was
Marcos Sarabia
Sarabia, who medaled for
the third time at CCS. In his quarterfinal

match, Sarabia beat Montereys Dhani James

5-3. The semifinal match was a nail-biter, as
Sarabia trailed 2-1 until the last few seconds
of the third period against Bellarmines
David Aranda. In the end, Sarabia got a 2point takedown in the last 20 seconds to
advance to the championship match.
Sarabia fell short in the finals against the
No. 1 seed, Gilroys Noe Garcia, losing 3-2.
Although they did not make it to the finals,
Bautista and Casamina also proved their
rightful spot at the boys state tournament.

Casamina could not make it through the

semifinals as he lost to the Santa Teresas
Ray Carroll 6-4. Casamina then went on to
win a consolation bracket semifinal 3-2.
However, fighting for third place, he dominated all three periods as he had the lead
against Riordans Nate Sereni. Casamina
eventually won the match 7-3, qualifying
for next weekends big tournament.

Mills rides Adkins 28 points into CCS semis

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

SAN FRANCISCO No point guard? No

problem. Not with Mills senior forward
Marquis Adkins on the court.
Adkins scored a game-high 28 points to
lead the No. 4-seed Vikings to a 68-58 victory over No. 5 Gunderson in Saturdays
Central Coast Section Division III quarterfinal at St.
Ignatius McCullough
Gymnasium.
The point-guard position became problematic for Mills (22-5 overall) even before
the opening tipoff. Regular point guard
Danny Yu was unable to start due to illness.
Backup point guard Cole Brouqua impressed
through the opening half in his first start
since the non-league preseason, but he came
hobbling off the floor with an ankle injury
two minutes into the second half.
But Adkins, when needed, ran the point
effectively. And his ball-handling proficiency was needed a lot. While the Vikings
took an early lead, never to relinquish it
they even stormed out to an 11-point midway through the first quarter Mills couldnt put Gunderson (13-10) away until the
games final minute.
Every time we got up they just came
back, Adkins said. They kept fighting
throughout the whole game. They made it
tough on us. That was good competition
today.

Sharks trade Sheppard to Rangers for draft pick

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN JOSE The San Jose Sharks traded

forward James Sheppard to the New York
Rangers on Sunday for a fourth-round draft
pick in 2016 in the teams latest move for
the future.
The 26-year-old Sheppard had five goals
and 11 assists in 57 games with San Jose
this season. He played mostly as a thirdline center for the Sharks but also has
played wing in the past. With Sheppard eligible to be an unrestricted free agent this
summer, general manager Doug Wilson
wanted to get whatever compensation he
could before Mondays trade deadline.
Shep played well for us, but this is an
opportunity to acquire more assets and get
Tomas Hertl back to playing the center
position, Wilson said.
Hertl has struggled in his second season in

the NHL while playing

mostly wing but is expected to be a building block for
the franchise as a center.
This move is part of a
process that began in
earnest after San Jose blew
a 3-0 series lead to Los
Angeles in the first round
of the playoffs last spring.
James
Wilson responded to that
Sheppard
by saying the team needed
to take a step back in order to take two steps forward and committed to younger players.
That step back has put San Jose in danger
of missing the playoffs for the first time
since the 2002-03 season. The Sharks have
lost 10 of 13 games to fall into 10th place
in the Western Conference. San Jose has
also lost eight straight home games for the
first time since the 1994-95 season.

were in because we dont feel like weve

played up to our capabilities, Wilson said.
Were certainly not pleased with where
were at, but we have to go forward.
The Sharks have lost their past two games
in regulation despite leading after two periods, a first in franchise history. The team
responded by canceling practice Sunday for
a players-only meeting. Wilson said he also
talked to players on Sunday but that change
needs to happen on the ice.
We havent played hard enough long
enough to get ourselves in a position we
think we should be in, he said. Whether
that happens going forward will be seen on
the ice and not flushed out with words.
The Sharks also could move additional
pending free agents before Mondays trade
deadline, including goalie Antti Niemi,
defensemen Matt Irwin and Scott Hannan
and forwards Tyler Kennedy and Andrew
Desjardins.

Hanson said. I think it became a bigger

aspect (for Mills) later in the game. It was
something Gunderson was taking advantage
of early.
But Mills didnt need to rely on rebounds in
shooting 61.9 percent (26 for 42) from the
floor throughout the game. The Vikings
moved the ball well on offense and werent
afraid to challenge in the post. It was a simple
strategy met with some dazzling execution.
A lot of us just drive and kick, Adkins
said. We try to look for an open man and we
trust each other to make our shots. Thats
pretty much it.
Mills gained an early advantage by forcing seven Gunderson turnovers in the first
quarter. Senior forward Miguel Madrigal
who totaled 12 points in the game glided
to the hoop for a lay-in to give the Vikings
an early 6-5 lead. The bucket ignited a 12point run for Mills, seven of the first eight
of which were scored by Madrigal.
Two Vikings possessions later, Madrigal
buried a 3-pointer. Then Brouqua grabbed a
steal and fed an assist to Madrigal. Adkins
followed with back-to-back steals, both
times pushing the ball to Brandon Matsuno
who totaled 14 points for buckets off
the fast break, giving Mills a 16-5 lead.
It was a good start, Hanson said. I
thought we kind of dropped off a little bit.
But well take it. A wins a win.

Former Burlingame outfielder Jian Lee
opened the seventh with a walk. Lee later
scored the go-ahead run on an RBI groundout by designated hitter Colton Fletcher.
The Trojans outhit Mission 10-9 and two
Burlingame alums accounted for half the
Skyline hits. Phil Caulfield went 3 for 5 out
of the leadoff spot while Michael Franco

Cuban baseball icon Warriors rally from

Minnie Minoso dies 26 down to top Celts
By Jimmy Golen

By Jay Cohen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO When Minnie

Minoso broke into major league
baseball, the Cuban Comet was
part of a wave of black players
who changed the game forever. By
the time he played in his final
game 35 years ago, he was a
beloved figure with the Chicago
White Sox.
It was one amazing ride for the
seemingly ageless slugger, who
died early Sunday morning after
helping clear the way for generations of minority ballplayers,
including a long list of stars from
his home country.
I know were all going to go at
some time, but I had gotten to the
point where I really thought
Minnie was going to live forever, White Sox owner Jerry
Reinsdorf said. There has never
been a better ambassador for the
game or for the White Sox than
Minnie.
Minoso, who made his major
league debut just two years after
Jackie Robinson and turned into
the games first black Latino star,
died of natural causes, according to
the Cook County medical examin-

ers
office.
There is some
question about
Minosos age,
but the medical
e x a m i n e r s
office and the
White Sox said
he was 90.
Mi n o s o s
Minnie Minoso
death comes on
the heels of the loss of Chicago
Cubs great Ernie Banks, who
passed away on Jan. 23 at age 83.
For Minnie, every day was a
reason to smile, and he would want
us all to remember him that way,
smiling at a ballgame, Minosos
family said in a statement released
by the team. As he so often said,
God Bless you, my friends.
Minoso played 12 of his 17 seasons in Chicago, hitting . 304
with 135 homers and 808 RBIs for
the White Sox. The White Sox
retired his No. 9 in 1983 and there
is a statue of Minoso at U. S.
Cellular Field.
For Minosos many admirers,
his absence from the Hall of Fame
remains a sore spot. President
Barack Obama, a longtime White
Sox fan, praised Minoso for his
speed, power and resilient opti-

mism while helping integrate

baseball in the 1950s.
Minnie may have been passed
over by the Baseball Hall of Fame
during his lifetime, but for me and
for generations of black and
Latino young people, Minnies
quintessentially American story
embodies far more than a plaque
ever could, Obama said.
Minoso made his major league
debut with Cleveland in 1949 and
was dealt to the White Sox in a
three-team trade two years later.
He became major league baseballs
first black player in Chicago on
May 1, 1951, and homered in his
first plate appearance against
Yankees right-hander Vic Raschi.
It was the dawn of a long relationship between the slugger and
the White Sox.
Minoso, a Havana native who
spent most of his career in left
field, is one of only two players
to appear in a major league game
in five different decades. He got
his final hit in 1976 at age 53
and went 0 for 2 in two games in
1980 for the White Sox, who
hired him as a team ambassador
after his playing career and

Winaker helps Stanford split at Rice

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

Red-hot Matt Winaker went 7 for

14 over the weekend as Stanford
split a four-game series at Rice.
The left-handed hitting freshman
has done nothing but hit since joining the Cardinal lineup this season.
He currently paces Stanford in each
of the triple crown categories with a
.405 batting average, two home
runs and 10 RBIs.
Stanford (6-6) won Fridays opener at Houstons Reckling Park 5-3,
paced by Winaker and freshman
Mikey Diekroeger with three hits
apiece. Winaker followed that by
tabbing two hits apiece in each of
Saturdays games.

The Cardinal dropped the doubleheader opener 11-6 before winning

the nightcap 3-1. Winaker had two
RBIs in the latter, including a firstinning single to drive home Tommy
Edman to get Stanford on the board.
In the fourth he again singled home
Edman to stake starting pitcher
Brett Hanewich to a 3-0 lead.
Hanewich went on to earn his first
win of the year, firing seven
innings of three-hit ball. He
allowed just one run, which was
unearned. Southpaw Logan James
worked two shutout innings to earn
his second save of the season.
Rice (8-5) held Winaker hitless
Sunday as the Owls prevailed 12-1
by limited Stanford to just three

hits. Winaker still managed to score

the Cardinals only run of the day as
he was hit by pitch with two outs in
the third inning then scored on an
Alex Dunlap double.
Diekroeger went 5 for 12 in starting three games, including both
Stanford wins. He split time at second and third base in the series.
Junior right-hander Cal Quantrill
earned his second win of the year
Friday night.

Oaks win fourth straight

Slugging Menlo College swept a
three-game weekend series, outscoring visiting Grace College 26-9.
The Oaks (14-6) have now won four
straight and five of their last six.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON When youre sitting

on the NBAs best record like the
Golden State Warriors, you dont
have to stress over every single
game.
Because you usually win, anyway.
Stephen Curry scored 37 points
on Sunday night, and the Warriors
erased a 26-point deficit to beat the
Boston Celtics 106-101. Golden
State won for the seventh time in
nine tries to improve its leaguebest record to 46-11.
This was a fun challenge for us,
coach Steve Kerr said. If we lost, it
wouldnt have been the end of the
world. But we were down and we
came back. I was happy that we
showed good poise.
Klay Thompson scored 20 for the
Warriors, Harrison Barnes had 17
and Draymond Green scored 11 of
his 14 points in the fourth quarter.
Isaiah Thomas scored 20 points
off the bench for Boston, which
had its three-game winning streak
snapped. The Celtics led 56-30
midway through the second quarter,
bringing the usually quiet TD
Garden back to life.
Twenty-whatever we were up in
the first half felt like three to me,
Boston coach Brad Stevens said.
And 16 at halftime feels like two
against those guys. They just come
back so fast.
Jae Crowder had a career-high 17
rebounds to go with his nine
points, but his 3-pointer with a
chance to give Boston the lead with
under a minute left rolled around the
rim and out. Andre Iguodala followed with a layup to give Golden
State a three-point lead, driving
down the center of the lane as the
final seconds ticked off the shot
clock.
Thomas made a layup, then Curry
sank two free throws to make it
104-101 with 10.5 seconds left.
Thomas had an open 3-pointer, but
it bounced off the back of the rim
and Curry grabbed the rebound.
He made another pair of free
throws to clinch it.

We
didnt
want to be down
26, Curry said
after
the
Warriors played
their fifth game
on a six-game
road trip, and
the middle of a
Stephen Curry string of three
games in four
nights. It seemed like it was sluggish there in the first quarter. We
had to be mentally tough to make it
an interesting game and close out
the half.
Its the first time since the
Warriors moved west from
Philadelphia in 1962 that they
have won four straight games
against the Celtics.
Boston led by 13 at the end of the
first quarter despite 14 points from
Curry. Boston stretched it to 56-30
on back-to-back 3-pointers by
Crowder and Jonas Jerebko midway
through the second.
But the Warriors had cut the
deficit to 16 points by halftime and
scored nine straight points early in
the third quarter seven of them
by Curry to bring it into single
digits.
It was 86-75 after three before
Golden State scored the first six
points of the fourth on a 3-pointer
by Green and Shaun Livingstons
three-point play.
Trailing 92-87, the Warriors went
on a 9-2 run, tying it 94-all on
Iguodalas dunk and taking the lead
on Greens tip-in.
Tip-ins: The Warriors gave up 17
fast-break points in the first half
before scoring their first. ...
Golden State plays three games in
four nights and finishes its sixgame road trip Monday at
Brooklyn.
Warriors center Festus Ezeli
missed Sunday nights game to
serve a one-game suspension for
grabbing the throat of Torontos
Tyler Hansbrough in the third quarter of Friday nights game at
Toronto. Ezeli, who was averaging
four points and three rebounds in 11
minutes, was ejected from the
Raptors game.

Skyline falls in
playoff opener
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

Skyline mens basketball fell in its playoff opener Saturday with a 77-61 loss at
College of Marin.
With the season-ending loss, Skyline finishes the season with a 17-10 record, falling
just short of its 2008-09 win total. The
Trojans finished that season with an 18-14
record. It was the last time they ended above
the .500 mark until this season and the last
time they qualified for the Northern
California Regional tournament.
No. 14-seed Skyline made a run at No. 3
Marin in the first half. The Trojans led for
most of it and saw their held their biggest
advantage at the midway mark of the half
20-12 when sophomore Elijah White hit a
pair of free throws.
But Marin went on a 15-4 run, culminating in a George Johnson 3-pointer to take
its first lead of the game 27-24 with 4:11
remaining in the half.
Skylines Tavita Jimenez who led all
scorers with 21 points hit a jumper just
before halftime to close lead to 33-32.
The lead seesawed through the opening
minutes of the second half but Pierre Carter
and Miller Blake hit back-to-back layups to
give Marin the lead for good. Marin went on
a 13-4 run from there to open up an insurmountable margin.
Of the six teams from the Coast
Conference North to qualify for the postseason, only Caada, Foothill and City
College of San Francisco remain. Chabot
and Las Positas were also eliminated last
week. No. 10 Caada travels to No. 2 San
Jose City Wednesday at 7 p.m.

Lady Bulldogs sweep weekend series

Siskiyous by scores of 13-4 and 10-0.

Right-hander Lauren Berriatua earned the

Saturday with four innings of two-hit
shutout ball.

The crisis was averted, however, when the
Pirates slammed the kick into the Knights defensive wall stationed in the middle of the box.
We worked on our wall during practice
this week, FitzGerald said.
The start of the second half featured
Harbor coming out with renewed determination and put immediate pressure on the
Knights. After just one shot in the first half,
the Pirates had two shots and corner kick in
the opening three minutes of the second.
Early in the second half, we didnt play
very well, FitzGerald said.
The Knights weathered the storm and
methodically regained control of the game.
The Knights fired off eight shots in the second half before icing the game on their
ninth in the 69th minute. Similar to the
first, Swig received a pass about 25 yards
from goal before playing a perfect pass to
the right flank and Emily Demmon. She carried the ball nearly to the end line before
wrapping her right foot around it and crossing it to the front of the Harbor goal.
The ball drifted inside the far left post and
into the net for an improbable strike and a
2-0 Menlo lead.
The win keeps the Knight in the running

with the press. The hyper-aggressive tactic
came at a slight cost, however, as Erisman
drew her third foul with 6:50 remaining in
the first half.
We hadnt played in 10 days so we were a
little bit off kilter, John Paye said. It kind
of shook us a little bit when they were hitting their 3s and we were missing. [Erisman]
got into foul trouble and we told the girls,
youve got to go to the basket instead of
relying on outside 3s.
Once they did, the aggression began yielding results. Castilleja was working with a

If the Panthers had settled into the game a

ed throwing passes away, Castilleja head

coach Gary Plummer said. It was just a matter of fatigue, because basically we had five
players playing almost the whole game.
Menlos 10-point run started with junior
Hannah Paye dancing to the basket through
traffic for a sweet underhanded lay-up. Stine
followed with another strong drive for 2. On
Menlos next possession, Stine drilled a
long 2-pointer out of the corner. Then Menlo
got the ball back and 5-9 center Olivia
Pellarin took a bounce pass from Erisman,
backed down a defender in the post and scored
on a short turnaround jumper to tie it 17-17.
Menlo caught a break amid the tie when
Chen missed a 3-point attempt. Forward
Anna Miller grabbed the rebound and sent the
Knights back down the court to take a 19-17
lead when Stine nailed a short jumper.
Menlo punctuated the first half with a transition play that had its fans oohing. Leading
19-18, the Knights defended a drive to the
hoop as Pellarin swatted the attempt for one
of her three blocked shots on the night. With
the crowd buzzing, Menlo pushed the ball up
court for Hannah Paye who went to the hoop
with a hard, left-handed lay-up that glanced
off the glass and spun in.
I think we did pretty well, Stine said.

We could have done better. We didnt start

off strong but we finished strong.
Castilleja opened the second half with a
quick bucket from Cate Adler to close the lead
to 21-20. But it was as close as the Grizzlies
would get as everything started going
Menlos way. Case in point, the final score
of the third quarter.
Erisman attempted to drive to the hoop and
missed, but grabbed her own rebound. She
looked for a put-back but had no shot. As she
tried to dribble out of traffic, Castilleja
stripped it, but the loose ball bounded outside
to find junior Kenzie Duffner who gathered
and promptly fired a 3-pointer to give Menlo
a 34-26 lead heading into the fourth quarter.
Menlo outscored Castilleja 15-8 in the
final quarter to cruise to victory. Duffner hit
her third trey of the night in the fourth quarter. She ended with a team-high 13 points and
shared the game-high with Chen.
Castillejas Vermeer and Maddy Tarr
paced all rebounders with six boards
apiece. But Menlo outrebounded Castilleja
as a team 36-26.
This definitely was a confidence booster
because we didnt want to come into it too
cocky, Erisman said. We were happy that
we got it done.

With the win, the Knights advance to

Tuesdays semifinals to take on No. 3 Soquel.
Tipoff at Menlo is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
Soquel advanced with a 62-40 rout of

Menlo-Atherton cruised past No. 7 Carlmont
55-37. The Bears travel to No. 3 Piedmont
Hills for Wednesdays semifinal. Tipoff is set
for 7:30 p.m.
In CCS Division II action, No. 2 Westmoor
defeated No. 10 Santa Clara 58-41. With the
win, the Rams advance to Tuesdays semifinal against No. 3 St. Francis for a 5:30 p.m.

dle of the Burlingame penalty box.

Alejandro Camberos was there and hit it on
the volley to give the Cardinals a 1-0 lead.
We were still trying to figure out [Santa
Cruz], Siracusa said, explaining the
Panthers slow start.
The goal seemed to finally settle down the
Panthers, especially center midfielder Gio
Gomez, who started to run the show for
Burlingame. Using nifty footwork to create
space, Gomez started sending diagonal and
through balls to the Panthers strikers.
Burlingames best opportunities came off
set pieces, including four first-half corner
kicks. And while the Panthers did well to get
scoring opportunities, they could not get on
the scoreboard and trailed 1-0 at halftime.
Burlingame kept up the pressure in the
second half, so much so that Santa Cruz was
reduced to a counter-attack offense. The
Cardinals nearly made it pay off several
times, only to see chance after chance go by
the wayside.
They did connect once, however, doubling their lead in the 63rd minute.
Camberos picked up his second goal of the
game as he and Gabriel Ponce had a 2-on-1
against Burlingame goalkeeper Lucas
Flygare, who had no chance. As Flygare

tried to force Ponces hand, Ponce calmly

made the pass to an unmarked Camberos in
the middle of the Panthers penalty box,
who tapped the ball into the empty net to
put the Cardinals up 2-0.
Santa Cruz, however, continued to go on
the attack instead of trying to milk the clock
and thats when Burlingame got back in the
game. They earned a free kick in the 70th
minute, one that was essentially a corner
kick on the right side. Cameron McCann
stepped up and bent a cross into the penalty
box that drifted just inside the far left post for
an unlikely strike that cut the Santa Cruz lead
in half.
That set up the frantic
final minutes that werent
decided until that Santa Cruz
defender denied Levitan.
Santa Cruz played a great
game,
Siracusa
said.
People got their moneys
worth.
In other Division III
action, No. 8 Sacred Heart
Prep pulled off the upset of
the tournament thus far by
knocking off top-seeded
Pajaro Valley 4-3 in penalty

kicks. Pajaro Valley (15-2-4) took a 1-0 lead

at halftime, but SHP (14-2-5) knotted it up
on a Josh Lin unassisted goal in the second.
After a pair of 10-minute overtime periods,
the game was decided by penalty kicks.
The Gators will now face No. 4 Santa Cruz
in a semifinal match at 7 p.m. Wednesday at
Westmont High School.
In the Division I bracket, top-seeded
Menlo-Atherton advanced to the semifinals
with a 4-1 win over No. 8 Alvarez. M-A (163-0) will take on No. 5 Bellarmine (14-4-4)
in the semifinals at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday at
Milpitas High School.

I just saw my teammate
[Adkins]. He screened off my guy
for me, Brouqua said. So, I just
went down the lane and had an
opening. So, I finished.
Gunderson countered with a
crisp jump shot by Futch at the
other end. But Mills responded
with Brouqua feeding an alley-oop
style pass to Adkins, who converted on a quick finger-touch to end
the half on a dramatic buzzer-beater, sending the Vikings into the
locker room with a 35-27 lead.
Cole has been coming in off
the bench pretty early, so hes used
to the position, Adkins said.
When he gets in there its a seamless transition for us.
Adkins was a force in the third
quarter, especially after Brouqua
hobbled off after being fouled. Yu
did take the court in place of the
injured junior. But Adkins ran the
offense and tabbed 13 of Mills 18
points in the third quarter.
In the fourth quarter, Mills
lengthened its lead to 60-51 with
just over a minute to play. But
Gunderson went on a 7-2 run,
capped by a 3-pointer by Jacobi
Allen with 35 seconds remaining
to close the lead to 62-58. With
Gunderson forced to foul, however, Mills was clutch from the line,

Focus tops box office

By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ere now eight weeks into the

year, which is enough time for
people to have started New
Years resolutions, struggled, rationalized
and ditched them! Even if weve left our
diets behind in a Wendys parking lot, we
can still pay close attention to our pets
diets. To that end, heres some food-related
advice. Cartoons, kids books and ads tell
us milk is good for cats, but they actually
cant easily digest a cows milk. Skip the
bowl of milk as a treat; instead, toss a
small dab of plain yogurt on top of their
food. Heres another one: consumption of
grapes and raisins can cause sudden kidney
failure for pets, but low-fat cheese, carrots
and apples are healthy snacks. Most people know chocolate is toxic to dogs and
cats, but not nearly as many know onions
and garlic contain the toxic ingredient
thiosulphate and are dangerous to cats and
dogs. And, for pet birds, you can try
healthy greens like dandelion, mustard
greens, collards, along with bananas,
apple, mango and papaya. But, if your bird
spends time in your kitchen, know that
cooking with Teon cookware is toxic to
them. An avocado contains persin, a
compound toxic to many animals including
rabbits and birds. Believe it or not, domestic rats have sophisticated taste buds and
deserve more excitement than rat blocks!
Snacks can include cooked meat, egg and
veggies. Fresh fruit (without the seeds
which could choke them) will also be
appreciated. Favorites include banana,
watermelon, apple, cantaloupe and pear. If
you grew up on Bugs Bunny, you saw that
rabbits like carrots. This is true, but they
dont need them. Carrots are a treat to be
given in small quantities. Instead, try
greens like bok choy, Brussels sprouts,
collard greens, escarole, radish tops or
Romaine (but not iceberg) lettuce. Wash
veggies thoroughly. Feed a minimum of 1
cup of vegetables for each 4 pounds of
body weight per day.

NEW YORK Will Smiths con-man

caper Focus dethroned Fifty Shades of
Grey at the box office, but the films modest $19.1 million opening still left questions about the drawing power of the once
unstoppable star.
According to studio estimates Sunday,
Warner Bros. Focus easily topped all
competitors on a weekend with little competition at North American multiplexes. In
second place was the Colin Firth spy
thriller Kingsman: The Secret Service,
which made $11.8 million in its third week
of release.
After two weeks atop the box office,
Fifty Shades of Grey continued its steep
slide, landing in fourth with an estimated
$10.9 million for Universal Pictures. Fifty
Shades, which has made $486.2 million
globally, fell just behind Paramounts The
SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water,
which earned $11.2 million in its fourth
week.

The Lazarus Effect

The weekends only other new wide
release, Relativitys horror film The
Lazarus Effect, opened in fifth place with
$10.6 million.
But the weekend was largely seen, fairly
or not, as a referendum on Smiths star
power. Focus, written and directed by the
Crazy, Stupid, Love duo Glenn Ficarra and
John Requa, is Smiths first film since
2013s After Earth, the sci-fi flop in
which he co-starred with his son, Jaden.
Smith has been frank about the sting of
that films box-office performance. I cant
allow the box-office success, or lack thereof, to determine my self-image, he said in a
recent interview with The Associated Press.
But Focus, made for about $50 million
and co-starring Margot Robbie of The Wolf
of Wall Street, was never intended to be a
summer-sized blockbuster. It had been predicted to make around $21 million.
This is a mid-budgeted film with a result
that matches, said Jeff Goldstein, head of
distribution for Warner Bros., who added
that winter storms accounted for a drop of
$1-2 million. Theres no question we got
hammered because of inclement weather in
the South and the Midwest.
The R-rated Focus, overwhelmingly
appealed to adults, with 88 percent of its
audience older than 25 not a good sign
for Smiths appeal to a new generation of
moviegoers who werent around for his tri-

American multiplexes with a $19.1 million haul.
umphs in Independence Day.
Nevertheless, there arent many stars who
could do better with a drama in late February.
And Focus should play well internationally, where Smiths popularity remains
strong.
This still goes on his balance sheet as a
number one debut, said Paul Degarabedian,
senior media analyst for box-office data
firm Rentrak. He can still draw an audience,
particularly with a film thats R-rated and
not aimed at the young crowd.

Some of last Sundays Oscar winners saw
slight bumps at the box office.
Best-picture
winner
Birdman
(Or
the
Unexpected
Virtue
of
Ignorance) added some 800
screens to bring in $2 million over the weekend,
pushing its total past $40

which Julianne Moore won
best actress, added 553
screens and earned $2.7 million. Its now made $12 million for Sony Pictures
Classics.
American Sniper, far and
away the biggest box-office
hit of the best-picture nominees, was also easily the top
post-Oscars draw. It added
another $7. 7 million, to
bring its cumulative domestic gross to $331.1 million.

BUDGET
Continued from page 1
Providing a long-term forecast is intended to empower the City Council as it must
consider corrective actions to prevent projections that the city could be spending
$1.5 million more than it earns by 2022
a stark decrease from the $11.9 million general fund balance it started 2014-2015 with,
according to the Finance Department.
As the council oated Measure L as a temporary funding mechanism during the economic downturn, Mayor Maureen Freschet
said city ofcials would continue to seek
other methods to maintain a balanced budget while attending to unfunded infrastructure
projects.
City Council and staff have been
engaged in exhaustive long-term planning
to address these challenges and are identifying all our sourcing opportunities including
aggressively pursuing all available state
and federal assistance to complete these
projects, Freschet wrote in an email.
Still early in the budget cycle, the city is
expected to have an estimated $101 million
in revenue and approximately $99.4 million in expenses for fiscal year 2015-2016,
Culver said. While there is an anticipated
$4.11 million increase in revenue, the city
will likely set much aside for reserves as
well as contribute toward the golf course
and save some for affordable housing,
Culver said.
In addition to annual income and expenditures, the citys general fund will likely
start with a $12.9 million balance and
$22.7 million in emergency reserves next
year, Culver said. Overall, with healthy
reserves and tax revenue anticipated to
remain strong, absent another recession,
the city has a stable financial footing,
Culver said.
Were positioned very well in that we
have fully funded reserves, 25 percent of our
budget, plus it looks like well end this year
with a $12.9 million general fund balance
in addition to those reserves. Its just that,
as the forecast shows, well slowly draw
that fund balance over time because the revenues, although growing health, wont
keep up with those huge increases in costs
from the pension rates. Revenue is going
healthy, except for the loss of Measure L,
Culver said.
The voter-approved Measure L began in
2009 and is set to peak in 2016-17 by
bringing in $5.2 million before expiring
soon after.
On top of the loss of that revenue source,
the citys contribution toward pensions
will increase.

tion was poured in November 1947, but the
first floor had to wait for adequate financing
before it was completed. The city provided
the money in February 1950, but the work
became embroiled in controversy and it was
not completed until 1955. The work on the
second floor then had to be held up due to
lack of funds. With things straightened out,
the second floor was begun in June 1957.

vants make up about 75 percent of the
expenses and a 2013 California Public
Employee Retirement System policy will
contribute to the slow decline of the citys
general fund balance, Culver said.
The CalPERS Board of Directors urges
municipalities to have their employee liabilities fully funded within the next 30
years. Despite it being a decades-long plan,
CalPERS recommends ramping up rates
over the next five years beginning the coming year, according to Culver.
Based on the new policy and current projections, the citys pension liability contributions currently at $9.5 million per year
is anticipated to increase 50 percent, or by
$4.7 million, over the next five years,
according to Culver.
Another statewide policy consideration is
how future transportation costs will be
funded, particularly with state officials considering reverting from a gas tax to a miles
traveled fee to account for the growing use
of electric vehicles.
The city is set to lose approximately 25
percent of its gas tax revenue, Culver said.
It typically receives $2.7 million, part of
which it spends on a paving program and
other street improvements, but it will
decrease to $2.1 million next year, Culver
said.
I see gas tax going down. I think its
going to take a while to see any type of
state action to replace this revenue for
transportation, Culver said. Its going to
be a big debate on how to pay for transportation. Essentially people are driving
electric vehicles and theyre not paying
what other people are paying for the same
privilege of driving on the streets.
San Mateo has millions in capital
improvement needs, many of which are currently being evaluated as the city implements a new program allowing officials and
the public to have a comprehensive picture
by outlining all projects, even if theyre
unfunded or havent been started.
Nearly $25 million is need to rehabilitate
streets and fixing the citys levee and pump
stations which prevent flooding by
diverting storm water require another
$23.5 million.
Along with city staff from various departments outlining capital improvement projects from new parks to failing sewers and
cracked streets to facility improvements,
the city will be conducting a survey asking
voters how theyd like to pay for infrastructure improvements.
Lets see what the entirety of the needs
are out there, Culver said. Even if we dont
have money to fund every single thing, we
want to know what they are.

DISTRICT
Continued from page 4
ted to people and what got me interested in
working at a special district is the ability to
take the science and apply it practically to
protect public health. And to be able to
translate the science to everyday ordinary
people and be able to actually do something
with that science to protect public health,
Peavey said.
She will be replacing former longtime
manager Robert Gay, whose contract was
not renewed by the districts Board of
Directors last year. The district faced significant scrutiny after two employees were
convicted of embezzling around $500,000
in taxpayer funds between 2009 and 2011.
The case prompted a San Mateo County
Civil Grand Jury investigation of the district in 2013 and led to widespread management and oversight changes at the district.
Peavey said along with a new finance
director, conducting background checks on
new staff and having the board review
monthly financial reports, things are looking up for the district.
The district has implemented the
changes that were suggested and theyve
implemented a lot of very robust internal
control systems and theyve really come a
long way, Peavey said. They have a number of new staff and new board members and
I think theyre doing an excellent job. I
think the important thing going forward is
going to be for the district to protect public
health.
Health challenges are growing as mosquitoes carrying West Nile Virus were identified
for the first time ever in the county last year
and a new breed of invasive mosquito has
also recently arrived, Peavey said.
A lot has changed since I left the district,
so really the first thing that I need to do is
kind of assess whats happening there. I
know aedes aegypti, (mosquitoes which are
known to spread yellow and dengue fever,)
have arrived in San Mateo County and thats

19

something thats going to be a challenge

going forward, Peavey said.
Educating the public on the health risks
as well as how to protect themselves from
infectious diseases is critical, Peavey said.
Although West Nile virus has long been
present in squirrels and birds found in San
Mateo County, last years first reports of
the discovery of mosquitoes carrying the
disease here prompted numerous abatement
foggings. Some residents initially
expressed frustration as the district failed to
give more than a few hours notice before
essentially bug-bombing entire neighborhoods.
But district officials tuned in to residents
complaints and did their best under a difficult situation, Peavey said.
The reason that theres an issue is when
you detect the disease in mosquitoes you
need to act fast because you know you have
a public health threat, Peavey said. I
know the district has made a lot of progress
in notification, you dont have a lot of time
to do notification because you need to act
immediately to bring the population of
infected mosquitoes down in order to protect people.
With extensive professional experience
both in the research and science spectrum as
well as in management, Peavey said shes
looking forward to returning to work to protect San Mateo County residents. She lives
in Castro Valley but grew up in Menlo Park.
Its a wonderful district, I love the district. I left because I had an opportunity to
become a manager over [in Alameda] and
when there was opening over here I was
interested in coming back because I have a
long history in building programs with the
district and interest in what they do,
Peavey said. So its a great opportunity for
me.

struck. Construction of the second floors

There were to be two giant trusses to connect the 120 foot spans of the roof, but the
trusses didnt fit so the work was shut down

resigning from the agency March 6, two
days after the boards next meeting.
Although the departures come at a bad
time for the district, Brennan has condence
the district can weather the storm even without a captain at the helm.
Filling the general managers position
with the right person is key to the districts
success, Brennan said.
Id like to see the Harbor District become
an example of what a highly-functioning
special district can be, Brennan said.
It could be an uphill battle, however, as
the San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury recommended last year that the district be dissolved and turned over to the county in a

eras to track new cars the moment after they
are sold.
Nearly 1.8 million vehicles are purchased
in California each year and driven away
without a license plate. While current laws
provide permanent plates be installed upon
receipt or within 90 days, many opt to drive
without them as minimal enforcement
allows people to avoid paying tolls or
escape being identified by law enforcement,
said Elena Santamaria, a legislative aide in
Mullins office.
Current law provides dealers must affix a
piece of paper on the car with a vehicle
identification number and submit an application to register it with the DMV. It doesnt require cars immediately display paper
license plates with a registered license plate
number that is logged with the DMV.
Mullins legislation would require new
and used cars without permanent plates be
immediately issued a paper plate with a temporary number that is logged with the DMV.
Due to the states current law, the Bay Area
is missing out on nearly $8 million in revenue from uncollected bridge tolls and

taxes. It has approximately 30 employees

in South San Francisco and at Pillar Point.
It is abundantly clear that the citizens of
the county would be best served, both nancially and in terms of better service, if the
district were dissolved and its operations
assumed by the county and other successor
agencies, the grand jury wrote in the
report.
The report detailed the district falling into
disarray by operating with signicant yearly losses and the need to have a police presence at district meetings.
The report also highlighted accusations
of records destruction and excess benets
paid to commissioners and lawsuits charging harassment between a commissioner
and the districts former general manager.
The Daily Journal, however, could not
conrm any commissioner sued the district
for harassment.
In 2006, when the district was last
reviewed by LAFCo, the agency recommended dissolution just as it rst did all the
way back in 1975.
But even LAFCos Executive Director
Martha Poyatos would tell you its a rare
occasion when a special district is dissolved

based on the agencys recommendation.

The Skyline County Water District, which
served 490 water customers, charged the
highest water rates in the county once and
was recommended by LAFCo to be absorbed
by the private California Water Service
Company, which provides the city of San
Mateo with its water.
The water district applied itself to LAFCo
to dissolve but its unlikely that the Harbor
District will do the same if confronted with
the same recommendation.
Brennan, however, has never favored dissolution but remains upbeat even if it does.
Whether they recommend dissolution or
not, I know we will get some good information out of the review, Brennan said.
The district has already moved toward
being more efcient, she said, including the
consideration to stop leasing a property
near the Oyster Point Marina.
Its $7, 500 a month and only ve
employees work there, she said.
The district is also paying down its debt at
a good pace, she said.
In 2006, the debt was $19 million and
now it is down to $7 million, which is
expected to be paid down by 2018.

The LAFCo review will take about four

months from now, Poyatos said.
It will include a hard look into the districts nancials, capital programs, conditions of infrastructure, opportunities for
rate restructuring, cost recovery, resource
sharing and management efciency,
Poyatos said.
The nal report will also include governance alternatives, she said.
The county could take over the entire district including its assets, employees and liabilities if it initiates dissolution, she said.
South San Francisco could also take over
Oyster Point, which it currently leases to
the harbor district.
The LAFCo study doesnt assume services would cease and recognizes employees
have special skills that a successor agency
would benet from their services, Poyatos
said.
Brennan ran on a platform that the Harbor
District needed reforming and thats what
she intends to do, she said.
With new faces on the board and a new
general manager on the way, the district can
become a model for what other special tax
districts should be, she said.

another $5 million is slipping away in

Southern California, Santamaria said.
This bill ensures that everyone who uses
our bridges and toll roads pay their fair
share and that no one is getting a free
ride, Mullin said in a press release. This
also helps our law enforcement agencies
solve crimes related to hit-and-run accidents
and other incidents in a more efficient manner.
If passed, the new law would go into effect
Jan. 1, 2017.
AB 516 is Mullins second attempt at
addressing the issue after his Assembly Bill
2197 died in the Assemblys Committee on
Appropriations last year, Santamaria said.
Between the passing of Assembly Bill
60, allowing undocumented immigrants to
apply for drivers licenses, and Mullins
temporary license plate system estimated to
cost about $250, 000 to develop;
Santamaria said the DMV had a lot to balance last year and may have contributed to
the failure of AB 2197.
I think that everyone this year has more
of a consensus that this is something that
we need to see move forward, Santamaria
said. So its a little more promising.
Other states have begun to implement
programs to ensure new cars are identifiable
and Mullin was also moved to act after hearing from the family of Michael Bonanomi,

Santamaria said. While walking across a

southern California street in August 2013,
Bonanomi was killed by a hit-and-run driver. Despite eyewitnesses to the crash, the
suspects Mercedes-Benz brandished paper
license plates and police were never able to
identify Bonanomis killer, Santamaria
said.
Bonanomis family testified during a
committee hearing of AB 2197 and Mullins
efforts would make driving without a license
plate a crime, Santamaria said.
Police are somewhat limited in their ability to punish those who drive cars without
license plates and often just issue fix-it
tickets. Mullins bill would ensure car dealers are affixing temporary plates issued
through the DMV before a car can be sold,
Santamaria said.
Mullin previously received some pushback from the California New Car Dealers
Association, but Santamaria said shes confident theyll be able to arrive at a viable
solution.
Brian Maas, president of the California
New Car Dealers Association, agreed its an
important issue and hopes their concerns
last year can be worked through.
AB 2197 was prescriptive in its application prompting association concerns that
the system wasnt easy enough to navigate
and would burden dealers with extra costs,

Maas said.
Our concerns last year were technical
concerns about workability and implementation. And were very hopeful we can work
those out with Assemblymember Mullin. So
were very optimistic, Maas said.
AB 516 will likely be heard in the
Assembly committees on transportation
and appropriations, Santamaria said.
According to an analysis of AB 2197, it
was estimated the DMV would have ongoing
costs of $2.4 million the first year and
approximately $5 million annually thereafter. Buyers would absorb much of the cost
by paying around $5 for the temporary
plates, Santamaria said.
With the millions in uncollected bridge
tolls falling through the cracks and law
enforcements ability to identify suspects
obstructed, Santamaria said its an important effort to undertake a second time.
Its a public safety issue, its a transportation issue. The state is losing out on
revenue to help alleviate other problems in
the Bay Area in terms of transportation,
Santamaria said. So we think its a good
bill and hopefully well get farther than we
did last year.

Supporters of the proposed monuments in California are pursuing two

The first is through legislation.

So, supporters are also placing greater

adding urgency to their efforts.

Happy Lunar New Year!

Redwood City held its Fifth annual Lunar
New Year Festival Saturday. It brought
the city together to celebrate the year of
the ram by performing
everything from the lion dance to kung
fu, music and Chinese acrobatics.
Below: Wayne Huey of Red Panda
Acrobats wowed the audience with his
ability to contort his body to fit through
anything at the Fifth annual New Year
festival in Redwood City on Saturday.
