Water conservation lagging


State releases January water data; Bay Area using more
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Still reeling from a record-dry


January bolstering the drought,
California water officials released disappointing data indicating Bay Area
residents conserved less than those in
almost all other areas of the state.
With 2015 bringing a fourth year of
extreme conditions and reports that
the Sierra Nevada snowpack could turn

out to be the lowest on record in nearly 25 years, the State Water Resources
Control Board is poised to extend
emergency drought regulations in the
coming weeks and may eventually
consider permanent restrictions.
The water board announced Tuesday
that statewide conservation dropped
from 22 percent in December down to
8.8 percent in January as compared to
the same time the previous year. The
San Francisco Bay Area region, repre-

senting nearly 20 percent of all residential consumers, was responsible


for a major portion of the drastic dip as
the areas suppliers only decreased
production by 3.7 percent, the lowest
in the state, according to the water
board.
At a time when communities are
running out of water, fields continue to
remain fallow for a second year, and

AUSTIN WALSH/DAILY JOURNAL

The City Council in Burlingame is expressing interest in developing park land on


a vacant lot on Airport Boulevard. Seasonal wetlands that exist on the property
have forced officials to reconsider their initial plans for design of the public space.

Housing officials are recommending

The board will meet in a special study
session to consider the proposal and
others including rent stabilization, tenDave Pine
ants rights and amending zoning codes
to ease construction of affordable housing.
Some solutions to affordable housing have been on the
table for years, said Supervisor Dave Pine, but the idea of
building tiny houses is a new one that should be explored.
Im very intrigued by the idea of permitting smaller
homes or rental units both for affordable and market rate
structures, Pine said.

District to discuss small high school


Magnet school in Menlo Park to focus on creative curriculum and offer enrollment relief
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Plans for a new small, magnet high


school in Menlo Park, which would
help alleviate capacity concerns
caused by enrollment growth in the
Sequoia Union High School District,
are moving ahead while a similar proposal in San Carlos sits on the back
burner.
Superintendent James Lianides said
in an email the district will move forward with establishing the school at
150 Jefferson Ave. in Menlo Park,
which will give officials time to work
with concerned residents who oppose
building another magnet school in San
Carlos. The Board of Trustees will discuss the schools planning process
Wednesday night.
The San Carlos City Council sent a
letter to the high school district
opposing the construction of a 400student magnet school at 535 Old
County Road, but Lianides said the district will focus first on the Menlo Park
school, since that is where student
enrollment is growing most rapidly.
Discussions between officials in the
high school district and the San Mateo
County Community College District
have circulated around offering both
high school and college courses to students at the new Menlo Park school,
according to a district report.
Lianides said the new school in

Non-resident enrollment to be
capped at California campuses
By Lisa Leff

The two schools where the number of out-of-state


students really rubs people raw are Berkeley and UCLA because
they are in the highest demand. ... For the 15-16 school year, we will
maintain the current level of out-of-state enrollment with no such
guarantee for the other campuses of the University of California.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Non-resident enrollment will be capped at


the University of Californias
Berkeley and Los Angeles campuses next year to address concerns that California students are
being displaced, but the system
also does not plan to admit more
residents to any of its campuses
unless it gets more state funding,
university
President
Janet
Napolitano said Tuesday.
Napolitano told lawmakers during a budget hearing in
Sacramento that UCLA and UC
Berkeley will not be allowed to
increase the percentage of out-ofstate and international undergraduates they enroll during the next
academic year. Nonresidents made
up 20 percent of the undergraduates at UCLA last fall and 23 percent at Berkeley during the last
academic year.
The two schools where the
number of out-of-state students

Janet Napolitano

really rubs people raw are


Berkeley and UCLA because they
are in the highest demand, she
said. For the 15-16 school
year, we will maintain the current
level of out-of-state enrollment
with no such guarantee for the
other campuses of the University
of California.
The university has been admitting more students from outside
California to generate revenue
because those students pay much
higher tuition $35,070 compared with the $12,192 charged to
residents. Systemwide, their numbers have more than doubled in
four years. Along with UCLA and
Berkeley, nonresident enrollment

also has increased rapidly at UC


San Diego, where students from
outside California accounted for
one in five undergraduates in the
fall.
The trend has emerged as a
sticking point in negotiations
over the universitys budget. In
November, Napolitano proposed
raising tuition by 5 percent this
fall and expanding undergraduate
enrollment by 3,000 one-third
of the slots for Californians and
two-thirds for students from
abroad and out-of-state. Gov.
Jerry Brown, however, has threatened to withhold about $120 million in state funds unless the university keeps both its tuition

rates and non-resident enrollment


flat.
With the March window for
notifying prospective freshmen if
they have been admitted now
open and the funding issue unresolved, Napolitano said the university now plans not to add any
news seats for Californians next
year. The nine UC campuses that
serve undergraduates had 161,230
in-state students enrolled last
year, the most recent period for
which statistics were available.
In the past, we have admitted
more California residents than we
were funded for, she said. We are
not in a position to do that in the
future.

DROUGHT
Continued from page 1
fish and wildlife are suffering, the
prospect that this year will be worse
than last year is very real, State Water
Board Chair Felicia Marcus said in a
press release. Urban water users must
cut back more to extend their own
supplies and to allow for flexibility in
the system. Whether in self-interest or
community spirit, conservation is by
far the smartest and most cost-effective
way to deal with this difficult drought.
Despite a few promising storms
around the holidays, January was the
driest month on record and the immediate increase in use as soon as temperatures rose is concerning, said Max
Gomberg, senior environmental scientist with the water board.
Its only going to get hotter as we
go through the rest of the year and now
is the time for everyone who didnt
make changes last year in terms of putting in drought-tolerant landscape or
fixing their irrigation systems or just
cutting back, to start. We need it; we
need everyone to keep it up because
were in the fourth year of drought and
we have no guarantee we wont have a
fifth year, Gomberg said.
Despite a lull in cutbacks, Bay Area
residents typically use less water than
their Southern Californian counterparts
and months of data show conservation
is trending.
Bay Area residents used an average of
56.3 gallons per capita per day in
January while at the high end, those in
the Colorado River region, which borders Arizona, used around 147.2 gallons
per person per day, according to the
water board.
Throughout the local region, coastside residents used the least amount of
water at just 37 gallons per capita per
day while those in the California Water
Service Companys Bear Gulch District
which includes Atherton, Portola
Valley, Woodside and parts of Menlo
Park used the most at 88 gallons per
capita per day. San Bruno residents consumed about 41 gallons each day,
Redwood City residents drew about 51
gallons and those in San Mateo soaked
up about 54 gallons per day, according

Tiny houses have caught on in other

as smaller units. Its about where we
can get the biggest bang for our buck,
Pine said.
He would also like to double the
home-sharing efforts in the county
such as HIP Housing provides and fund
first-time homebuyer programs at a
greater level.
Whats important about this hearing is to put some new ideas on the
table and create a sense of urgency,

THE DAILY JOURNAL


to the water board.
While Coastside County Water
District customers typically used less
per person than in other parts of the
region, the utility actually increased
production by almost 32 percent in
January 2015 as compared to the same
time last year. District Manager David
Dickson said the increase refers in part
to its contract with the large cemetery
Skylawn Memorial Park and in general,
residential customers maintained conservation trends.
Other notable users include the city of
Millbrae taking 14 percent more water
than the previous January, Cal Waters
Bear Gulch reported a 21 percent
increase and Cal Waters South San
Francisco district sopping up 8.4 percent more. Cal Waters Mid-Peninsula
District, which serves Belmont, San
Mateo, San Carlos and parts of unincorporated Redwood City among others,
increased production by 4.4 percent,
according to the water board.
Local savers include Daly City residents who cut back by 14.4 percent,
San Bruno residents by 13.8 percent,
Foster City residents by 9.8 percent,
Palo Alto residents by 8.9 percent and
San Francisco residents by 6.9 percent,
according to the board.
Still, the January cutbacks are a stark
decrease from several months before
when the board pleasantly announced
Californians had achieved Gov. Jerry
Browns 20 percent conservation goal.
One possible rationale for the
regions poor January results could
relate to residents unaccustomed to irrigating during the winter, said Nicole
Sandkulla, CEO of the Bay Area Water
Supply and Conservation Agency. On
the other hand, those in Southern
California may traditionally turn on the
sprinklers in January and therefore were
more apt to cut back, Sandkulla said.
While areas throughout the state were
exceedingly dry, the National Weather
Service reports temperatures in
Redwood City, Half Moon Bay and the
San Francisco Airport, which most
accurately reflects San Mateo County,
showed the 2014-15 winter was the
warmest on record.
Sandkulla said while Januarys stats
were disappointing, throughout 2014
residents from San Mateo and San
Francisco counties exceeded conservation goals by reducing consumption by

an average 14 percent.
Cal Water officials also noted longerterm trends show customers have conserved and an extraordinary month can
skew data.
It was an extremely dry January,
which can cause swings in water use,
especially in service areas where a
higher percentage of water is used outdoors, according to Dawn Smithson,
Cal Water Bear Gulch district manager.
From 2004 to 2014, our customers
reduced their water use by 20 percent.
Furthermore, short of not brushing
ones teeth or doing laundry, it can be
difficult for residents to cut back
indoors.
We know winter is hard. If you look
at the communities around us, for example youve got communities that use 50
to 60 gallons per capita per day, theres
not a lot of room to reduce that in the
winter. So we really target that irrigation period where we saw increased savings in [the summer months,]
Sandkulla said.
Steve Ritchie, San Francisco Public
Utilities Commissions assistant general manager for water, agreed and added
residents can save more during the summer by not irrigating landscapes as its
a primary area where people can conserve the most without having a serious
effect on their lives.
Ritchie and Sandkulla praised the
water boards movement toward continuing drought regulations and noted the
significance of keeping people cognizant of the ongoing need to conserve.
The board will vote March 17 whether
to extend the current emergency drought
regulations that include mandatory outdoor restrictions. Its also in the
process of developing a statewide hotline where people can report water
wasters, Gomberg said.
The overall takeaway is were still in
an incredibly severe drought. Aside
from a wet December in Northern
California, weve had almost no precipitation, Gomberg said. Weve had a
really minimal snowpack accumulation
which is critical for summer months
supply and we need a sustained and continued robust response from urban water
users across the state.

Pine said about the March 17 study session.


According to the county, the average
rent for a two-bedroom apartment is
now $2,648, a 51 percent increase
over the past four years.
The county has contributed to the
development of 1,554 affordable housing units in the past 10 years and has
granted developers density bonuses to
build affordable housing units.
Supervisors Don Horsley and Warren
Slocum are heading the special study
session March 17 that will also
address promoting second units and
establishing a countywide program to
assist renters.
Slocum, who represents some of the
countys poorest areas, said it will take
a collaborative effort to address the
housing crisis.

My perspective comes from hearing real constituents who are living


with multiple families in a one-bedroom apartment or who have been living without heat but still having their
rent raised, Slocum said.
The crisis is due to high demand and
low supply and the rebounding economy, Slocum said.
There is a general anxiety across
the county about the areas cost of living and cost of housing, he said.
The county just created a Blue
Ribbon Task Force on Housing to
address affordability issues after discussing rent stabilization during a
mid-year budget update. It is set to convene in the coming months.

Ash and lava spew from the Villarrica volcano south of Santiago, Chile.

Villarrica volcano erupts


in Chile, thousands flee
By Eva Vergara and Gabriela Ulloa
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PUCON, Chile One of South Americas


most active volcanoes erupted early Tuesday
in southern Chile, spewing heavy smoke
into the air as lava surged down its slopes,
prompting authorities to evacuate thousands of people.
The Villarrica volcano erupted around 3
a.m. local time, according to the National
Emergency Office, which issued a red alert
and ordered evacuations. Local media
showed images of the volcano bursting at
the top, glowing in the dark amid heavy
smoke and rivers of lava. Authorities worried that mudslides caused by melting snow
could endanger nearby communities, but no
injuries were reported.
The 9,000 foot (2,847-meter) volcano in
Chiles central valley, 400 miles (670 kilo-

meters) south of Santiago, sits above the


small city of Pucon, which has a population
of about 22,000 people.
It was the most amazing thing Ive ever
seen, 29-year-old Australian tourist Travis
Armstrong said in a telephone interview
from Pucon. Ive never seen a volcano
erupt and it was spewing lava and ash hundreds of meters into the air. Lightning was
striking down at the volcano from the ash
cloud that formed from the eruption.
Chilean authorities had issued an orange
alert on Monday because of increased activity at the volcano. About 3,500 people have
been evacuated so far, including tourists,
said Interior and Security Minister Rodrigo
Penailillo.
Penailillo warned that the eruption was
causing numerous rivers in the area to rise as
snow along the sides of the volcano began
melting.

Ex-CIA chief admits sharing


military secrets with mistress
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RALEIGH, N.C. Former CIA Director


David Petraeus, whose career was destroyed
by an affair with his biographer, has agreed
to plead guilty to charges he gave her classified material including information on
war strategy and identities of covert operatives while she was working on the
book.
The plea agreement carries a possible sentence of up to a year in prison and represents
another blow to the reputation of the retired
four-star Army general who led U.S. forces
in Iraq and Afghanistan and was perhaps the
most admired military leader of his generation.
Petraeus, 62, will plead guilty to a misde-

meanor count of unauthorized removal and


retention of classified
material. The agreement
was filed in federal court
Tuesday in Charlotte,
where Paula Broadwell,
the generals biographer
and former mistress,
David Petraeus lives with her husband
and children.
In court papers, prosecutors recommended
two years of probation and a $40,000 fine.
But the judge who hears the plea is not
bound by that and could still impose a
prison sentence. No immediate date was set
for Petraeus to enter the plea.

WASHINGTON Bitterly admitting


defeat, the Republican-controlled Congress
sent legislation to President Barack Obama
on Tuesday that funds the Department of
Homeland Security without any of the
immigration-related concessions they
demanded for months.
Sanity is prevailing, said Rep. Peter
King, R-N.Y., a former chairman of the
Homeland Security Committee, before the
House voted 257-167 in favor of the $40
billion spending bill, which Obama was
expected to sign promptly. All 182
Democrats present voted for the bill, while
it received only 75 Republican yes votes.
I am glad that House Republicans finally
came to their senses, said Rep. Loretta
Sanchez of California, a top Democrat on
the Homeland Security Committee.
The outcome averted a partial agency
shutdown which would have begun Friday at
midnight. It was a major victory for Obama
and the Democrats, and a wholesale retreat
for Republicans, who have spent months
railing against an unconstitutional overreach by Obama in extending deportation

Netanyahu: Iran, U.S. agreement a bad deal


By Deb Reichmann
and Aron Heller
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON In a direct
challenge to the White House,
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu stood before Congress
on Tuesday and bluntly warned the
U. S. that an emerging nuclear
agreement with Iran paves Irans
path to the bomb. President
Barack Obama pushed back sternly, saying the U.S. would never
sign such a deal and Netanyahu
was offering no useful alternative.
In the U.S. spotlight for a day,
the Israeli leader showed no uncertainty. This is a bad deal. It is a
very bad deal. We are better off
without it, he declared in an emotionally charged speech that was
arranged by Republicans, aggravated his already-strained relations with Obama and gambled
with the longstanding bipartisan
congressional support for Israel.
Two weeks ahead of voting in
his own re-election back home,
Netanyahu took the podium of the
U.S. House where presidents often
make major addresses, contending
that any nuclear deal with Iran
could threaten his nations survival.
In a tone of disbelief, he said
that Irans supreme leader,
Ayatollah Khamenei, tweets that
Israel must be annihilated he
tweets.
Republicans loudly cheered
Netanyahu in the packed chamber,
repeatedly standing. Democrats
were more restrained, frustrated
with the effort to undercut
Obamas negotiations. House

Kerry working on Iran nuke deal


By Matthew Lee
and George Jahn
MONTREUX, Switzerland
As senior U.S. and Iranian officials worked in Switzerland
Tuesday to reach a nuclear deal,
Israels leader warned against
reaching an accommodation with

Tehran, declaring to the U. S.


Congress that Tehran aims for
Mideast dominance and wont let
any such pact thwart its plan.
The negotiations, being led by
Secretary of State John Kerry and
Iranian
Foreign
Minister
Mohammad Javad Zarif, have less
than a month to go to meet a lateMarch deadline for a pact meant

to crimp Irans nuclear program


in exchange for sanctions relief.
But even as the two sides met in a
luxury hotel in the Swiss resort
town of Montreaux, Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
was making his case against their
slowly emerging agreement
4, 090
miles
away
in
Washington.

Calif., did little to hide her unease


and later issued a blistering statement criticizing what she called

Netanyahus condescension.
At the White House, Obama said
there was value in the current eco-

nomic sanctions against Iran and


also in the negotiations in
Switzerland aimed at restraining

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Irans nuclear ambitions.


Sanctions alone are not sufficient, Obama said. If Iran does
not have some sense that sanctions will be removed, it will not
have an interest in avoiding the
path that its currently on.
The administration says there is
no deal yet, but Netanyahu insists
he is privy to what is being put
forth.
If the deal now being negotiated is accepted by Iran, that deal
will not prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. It would
all but guarantee that Iran gets
those weapons lots of them,
he declared. He acknowledged that
any deal would likely include strict
inspections, but he said inspectors document violations; they
dont stop them.
Obama declined to meet with the
leader of Israel, a key U.S. ally,
during this visit. Vice President
Joe Biden was on a trip to Central
America and so his seat as president of the Senate was filled by
Republican Orrin Hatch of Utah,
the Senate president pro tempore.
As Netanyahu spoke, Secretary
of State John Kerry was holding a
three-hour negotiating session
with Iranian Foreign Minister
Mohammad Javad Zarif in the
Swiss resort of Montreux in hopes
of completing an international
framework agreement later this
month to curb Tehrans nuclear
program.
According to Netanyahu, the
deal on the table offers two major
concessions: Iran would be left
with a vast nuclear infrastructure
and restrictions on Irans nuclear
program would be lifted in about a
decade.

Mines, bombs slow Iraqi advance on Islamic State-held Tikrit


By Sinan Salaheddin
and Sameer N. Yacoub
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD Iraqi troops and


Shiite militias battled the Islamic
State group on Tuesday on the outskirts of militant-held Tikrit,
unable to advance further on
Saddam Husseins hometown as
roadside mines and suicide attacks

slowed their progress.


Soldiers found some 100 mines
and bombs scattered along an 8kilometer (5-mile) stretch of road
on the way to this strategic city
on the Tigris River, Salahuddin
deputy governor Ammar Hikmat
said.
The discovery underlined how
the battle likely will pivot on
allied Iraqi forces ability to
counter such weapons, a mainstay

of al-Qaida in Iraq, the Islamic


State groups predecessor, as it
fought American forces following
their 2003 invasion of the country.
The bombs are the main obstacle in the way of the attacking
forces, which have to wait for
bomb experts or to go around the
area, Hikmat told the Associated
Press. And this costs time.
Extremists from the Islamic

State group, which holds both a


third of Iraq and neighboring Syria
in its self-declared caliphate, have
littered major roadways and routes
with mines. Such mines allow the
extremists to slow any ground
advance and require painstaking
clearing operations before troops
can safely move through.
Suicide bombings also aid the
militants in weakening Iraqi
forces and have been used exten-

sively in its failed campaign for


the Syrian border town of Kobani.
Already, a militant website affiliated with the Islamic State group
has said an American jihadi carried
out a suicide attack with a truck
bomb on the outskirts of the nearby city of Samarra, targeting Iraqi
forces and Shiite militiamen. The
posting identified him by the nom
de guerre of Abu Dawoud alAmriki, without elaborating.

Getting away from car-centric culture


By Jeffrey Marque

n the evening of Feb. 17, I


attended a meeting of the
Beresford Hillsdale
Neighborhood Association at the
Beresford Recreation Center. The
agenda of the meeting was to hear a
presentation by two people concerning Plan Bay Area, a set of regional
plans concerning housing and transportation. I attended because I am particularly concerned about the lack of
quality mass transit all over the Bay
Area, and I wanted to hear what the
speakers might have to say about the
issue.
I was sorely disappointed, and quite
surprised, by the viewpoint expressed
by the two speakers. They both railed
against high-density housing along
mass transit corridors (e.g., Caltrain),
which they ridiculed as stack and
pack housing. They objected to the
retention of much of the open natural
space in the Bay Area, arguing that
much of this now open space should
be used to build developments of single-family houses (presumably with
two car garages). They were angry
that Plan Bay Area budgeted what they
saw as so little for roads and so much
for mass transit. They asked the
rhetorical question, Would you want
to use mass transit to go to your doctor or to your childs soccer practice?
I lived and worked in Tokyo for over
a year. Tokyo is the ultimate stack
and pack community in a modern
country, with a population more than
12 times that of San Francisco, and a
metropolitan population about four
times that of the entire San Francisco
Bay Area. I found the mass transportation there so convenient that the very
idea of buying a car seemed nonsensi-

cal to me when I
lived there. When I
got together with
friends in a nearby
town to play
music, I took a bus.
When our child was
born there, my wife
and I took a taxi to
the home of a midwife. Because of superb mass transit,
car ownership and everyday car use
would have been an unnecessary
expense and inconvenience. I took a
train to work every day (just as I took
Caltrain to work in Palo Alto every
day for 22 years until I started my
own business), and I reveled in its
comfort and convenience: I wasnt
trapped, and stressed out, in trafc
congestion! I could read, sleep, look
out the window or even write lectures
instead of drive.
We Americans are so wedded to our
cars that many of us cannot imagine
going about our daily lives without
cars playing a central role in getting
us around. But millions and millions
of people in New York City,
Washington, D.C., Boston, Tokyo,
Berlin, London and Moscow are getting to work just ne, and in fact better than the average Bay Area car commuter, without being trapped in their
cars for every trip of their day. And
such a car-centered culture has already,
clearly, gotten us into deep troubles:
Congestion that ofttimes becomes
paralysis (e.g., Highway 101 during
many hours of the day), through the
roof CO2 emissions (the consequences for which our descendants
will rightfully castigate us), viewing
a brownish sky instead of a blue one,
the creation of huge, sprawling noncommunities in which neighbors
dont even know each others names
(much less interact in a pleasurable

Guest
perspective
and natural way), obesity and muscle
atrophy that results, in part, from too
much sitting (e.g., in cars!) and not
enough walking. In Tokyo, people
very naturally get daily exercise
climbing up and down stairs at train
stations, and walking to and from
those stations.
To those who would tell us that
sprawling suburbs lled with isolated
people in their cars is freedom and
the great American way, I say,
Nonsense! Neither the psychological or physical well-being of
Americans has been well served by
the suburban lifestyle, nor is the present or future health of our one and
only Earth served by such a wasteful
and unsustainable culture.
I applaud the efforts of regional
governmental agencies to change our
way of life in such a way that the
automobile is not such a central part
of it. My only regret is that those
agencies have not, to date, done nearly enough in the planning, design,
construction and implementation of
effective mass transportation
throughout the San Francisco Bay
Area.

f you want things to stay as they are, things will


have to change. Giuseppe Lampedusa.
We celebrate four family birthdays in March a granddaughter (the mother of our 8-month-old great-grandson)
who will turn 27 on March 9, another granddaughter who
turns 9 on March 16, great-granddaughter who turns 3 on
March 30, and son-in-law who turns one year older on
March 11. Family birthdays (especially those of the
younger generations) always bring to mind what the future
may hold for these precious youngsters. So much has
changed since their parents were their age and not for
the better.
There are certainly some
important qualities of a civilized society from which we
have strayed over the past
decades. When you consider
the changes you wonder why
we havent known all along
that we, as a nation, have been
getting much too selsh and
egocentric, too materialistic,
greedy and estranged from the
fact that were all in this
together whether its our
family, community, country or
life in general. Youd think something would have been
done about it instead of allowing ourselves to continue to
drift farther and farther apart.
As Piero Ferrucci wrote in The Power of Kindness:
The culture we live in will often sabotage us. That is
because we are all in the midst of global cooling.
Human relations are becoming colder. Communications
are becoming more hurried and impersonal. Values such as
prot and efciency are taking on greater importance at
the expense of human warmth and genuine presence.
Family affections and friendships suffer and are less lasting.
Why do we think that its OK for so many of us in this
society to wallow in luxury while many others are hungry
and homeless? Why have so many fallen so thoughtlessly
and wholeheartedly into the corporate trap until they
believe that they are entitled to indulge themselves materialistically to the detriment of other people and the environment? Is it benecial for society to be so self-centered,
so convinced we deserve the best and that we are always
right?
None of us can thrive in a nation divided between a
small number of people receiving an ever larger share of
the nations income and wealth, and everyone else receiving a declining share. The lopsidedness not only diminishes economic growth, but also tears at the fabric of
society. America cannot succeed if the basic bargain at the
heart of our economy remains broken. Robert Reich,
Aftershock.
Suppose that instead of allowing corporations to accumulate such huge prots at the expense of employees by
cutting their benets, downsizing so that those who are
left have to work longer hours, hiring illegals, outsourcing, leaving so many employees without job security and
decent benets, we would demand, besides improvements
in the above, that all full-time jobs would pay a living
wage and part-time work would benet from an adequate
minimum wage law. Suppose that instead of electing legislators who allow corporate interests to have their way
with them, and therefore determine our domestic and foreign policy, we demand campaign nance reform and the
repeal of Citizens United.
Suppose more voters were to study the issues and vote
accordingly instead of relying on the media version of the
candidate. Suppose that instead of worshipping egocentric, grossly overpaid celebrities, we were to honor and
look up to the many largely unsung heroes who have contributed positively to society. Suppose that instead of ravaging the Earth and the environment without thought to
the future so that we can indulge ourselves with our luxuries, we were to resolve to live lightly on the Earth.
Suppose that we make it a priority to help more children
develop the self-respect needed to show respect for others.
Suppose that instead of embracing excess, avarice,
instant gratication, self-indulgence, mindlessness and
thoughtlessness, we make it a priority to teach our children through our example that the above are not part
of a truly rewarding and satisfying life. Suppose we were
to emphasize basic values that promote the kind of
American Way of Life that will bring us together instead
of widening the gulf between us.
As we face more uncertainties about the future, we will
need to connect more closely with each other and give
serious thought to how so many Americans have come to
feel so entitled, so smug and complacent in their pursuit
of the American Dream. As the candles are blown out this
month, I will try to muster up hope for a gratifying and
productive future for our precious young ones and Ill also
recall what Margaret Mead once wrote: Never doubt that a
small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change
the world: indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

U.S. running out of room to


store oil; price collapse next?
By Jonathan Fahey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The U.S. has so much


crude that it is running out of places to
put it, and that could drive oil and
gasoline prices even lower in the coming months.
For the past seven weeks, the United
States has been producing and importing an average of 1 million more barrels of oil every day than it is consuming. That extra crude is flowing into
storage tanks, especially at the countrys main trading hub in Cushing,
Oklahoma, pushing U.S. supplies to
their highest point in at least 80 years,
the Energy Department reported last
week.
If this keeps up, storage tanks could
approach their operational limits,
known in the industry as tank tops,
by mid-April and send the price of
crude and probably gasoline, too
plummeting.
The fact of the matter is we are run-

ning out of storage capacity in the


U.S., Ed Morse, head of commodities
research at Citibank, said at a recent
symposium at the Council on Foreign
Relations in New York.
Morse has suggested oil could fall all
the way to $20 a barrel from the current
$50. At that rock-bottom price, oil
companies, faced with mounting losses, would stop pumping oil until the
glut eased. Gasoline prices would fall
along with crude, though lower refinery production, because of seasonal
factors and unexpected outages, could
prevent a sharp decline.
The national average price of gasoline is $2.44 a gallon. Thats $1.02
cheaper than last year at this time, but
up 37 cents over the past month.
Other analysts agree that crude is
poised to fall sharply if not all the
way to $20 because it continues to
flood into storage for a number of reasons:
U.S. oil production continues to
rise. Companies are cutting back on
new drilling, but that wont reduce sup-

plies until later this year.


The new oil being produced is
light, sweet crude, which is a type
many U.S. refineries are not designed
to process. Oil companies cant just
get rid of it by sending it abroad,
because crude exports are restricted by
federal law.
Foreign oil continues to flow into
the U.S., both because of economic
weakness in other countries and to feed
refineries designed to process heavy,
sour crude.
This is the slowest time of year for
gasoline demand, so refiners typically
reduce or stop production to perform
maintenance. As refiners process less
crude, supplies build up.
Oil investors are making money
buying and storing oil because of the
difference between the current price of
oil and the price for delivery in far-off
months. An investor can buy oil at
$50 today and enter into a contract to
sell it for $59 in December, locking in
a profit even after paying for storage
during those months.

Tesla offers concessions to help pass Connecticut bill


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HARTFORD, Conn. Electric-car


maker Tesla Motors on Tuesday offered
to make some compromises to help
state lawmakers pass legislation this
year allowing direct sales to
Connecticut consumers.
Tesla currently operates a repair shop
in Milford but state law prevents it from
selling cars straight to consumers, who

must buy the cars out-of-state.


The California company notified
legislators it would agree to a limited
number of sales locations in the state,
capped at five. Tesla also said it would
agree to language in the bill limiting
direct sales to only manufacturers producing electric vehicles solely and to
those who dont currently use independent franchise dealers.
To further limit the impact of the

legislation, Tesla said it would agree to


language restricting direct sales to
manufacturers with an established
presence in Connecticut.
All told, these concessions would
make the bill, if it became law, the
most stringent limit on Tesla in any of
the 35 states they are permitted to sell
in, read an email sent Tuesday to state
legislators from two lobbyists working for Tesla.

SolarCity sues SRP over new fee for rooftop solar customers
By Bob Christie
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHOENIX A major player in the


rooftop solar industry is suing Arizona
power company Salt River Project for
adopting new fees for homeowners
who install rooftop solar panels.
San Mateo-based SolarCity Corp.

says in the federal lawsuit announced


Tuesday that SRPs average $50 per
month fee on new solar installations
would essentially eliminate the
incentive to put solar panels on a
home. The lawsuit calls SPRs action
a violation of federal anti-trust laws
because the fees keep homeowners
from competing against a utility they

must rely on for power during hours of


darkness.
SRP rejects SolarCitys claims and
said its board adopted the new fees after
a lengthy public hearing process. The
nonprofit, quasi-public utility says its
new fees properly spread the cost of
maintaining the utility grid to solar
customers.

to drop compared with the year-earlier


periods for the next two quarters, but
that is mostly because of a drag from
energy companies as oil prices have
fallen more than 50 percent since last
June.
Anastasia Amoroso, global market
strategist for J. P. Morgan Asset
Management, said she wasnt surprised by the pullback.
Were seeing a market that is fairly
valued, earnings are behind us and no
major catalysts are coming up, she
said. Its a market ready for a pause.
The slump in the U.S. followed losses in European markets. Frances CAC
40 and Germanys DAX each lost 1
percent. Britains FTSE 100 dropped
0.7 percent.
On Monday, the Nasdaq rose to just
40 points from its 5,048.62 peak
reached March 10, 2000. The index
has changed significantly since then.
Gone is the heavy weighting of
telecommunications stocks and big
bets on Internet companies with little
or no earnings.

Business briefs
California shuts down oil
wells to protect ground water
FRESNO A dozen wells used to pump oil and gas in
Californias Central Valley have been ordered to stop production to protect underground drinking-water from contamination, officials said Tuesday.
The operators of 10 oil wells in Kern County voluntarily
stopped production, while two were issued cease-and-desist
orders, said Steven Bohlen, head of oil, gas and geothermal
resources for the California Department of Conservation.
Groundwater surrounding the wells will be tested for traces
of contamination.
The action came after a review found more than 2,500
instances when the state authorized the injection of oilfield
waste into protected water aquifers that could be used for
drinking water supplies or crop irrigation.
In addition, California the nations leading agricultural
state enters a fourth drought year with farmers relying
heavily on scarce underground water supplies.
It doesnt necessarily mean that the aquifers have been
spoiled, Bohlen said in a telephone call with reporters.
He said another 11 wells were shut down last year, and so
far testing has found no evidence of contamination.

Airlines reject rechargeable battery shipments


WASHINGTON Two major U.S airlines say they will no
longer accept rechargeable battery shipments as new government tests confirm that explosions and violent fires are
likely to occur when large numbers of batteries enclosed in
cargo containers overheat.
Tests conducted last month by the Federal Aviation
Administration show that rechargeable batteries, also called
lithium-ion batteries, consistently emit explosive gases
when they overheat or short-circuit, the Associated Press has
learned. In the recent tests, as well as other FAA tests last
year, the buildup of gases primarily hydrogen led to
fierce explosions.
An FAA video of one of the tests obtained by the AP shows
an explosion knocking a cargo container door off its hinges
and tossing boxes of batteries into the air. The container was
engulfed in fire minutes later.

Venture capitalist testifies


in Silicon Valley sex-bias suit
SAN FRANCISCO A legendary billionaire investor
defended his Silicon Valley venture capital firm Tuesday
while testifying in a high-profile sex discrimination lawsuit
that has accused the firm of being an all-boys club where
women were denied chances to advance and treated as secondclass citizens.
John Doerr, a partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield, Byers,
took the stand in San Francisco Superior Court in the lawsuit
brought by his former chief of staff, Ellen Pao, who says she
was denied a promotion at the company because she is a
woman and was fired in 2012 after she complained and filed
her lawsuit.
The case has sparked debate over the treatment of women
in the high-tech and venture capital fields, which are dominated by men.

Ugly win for Tigers


Notre Dame-Belmont will meet Menlo School for the CCS DIV girls title

Semien, As hit
Bumgarner hard
in spring debut
By Rick Eymer

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

MESA, Ariz. World Series MVP


Madison Bumgarner was roughed up in his
exhibition debut, and Marcus Semien hit a
pair of home runs as the Oakland Athletics
opened their new spring training home by
beating the champion San Francisco Giants
9-4 Tuesday.
Bumgarner gave up four runs in 1 2-3
innings, allowing Semiens two-run shot in
the first. The tall lefty was tagged for five
hits and struck out two.
Right now Im not worried about results,
Bumgarner said. Its about getting my body
back in the rhythm of making pitches, and
competing. You want to get guys out, but its
more about getting my arm in shape.
Bumgarner led the Giants to the title last
October, giving up just one run in 21
innings against Kansas City.
We all saw the postseason he had,
Semien said. We were interested to see how
he looked. I was anxious going out there. We
were on defense first and that helped.
Oakland newcomer Ben Zobrist tripled and
doubled and Craig Gentry also had two hits
for the As. Billy Butler added a sacrifice fly.
Adam Duvall homered and Casey McGehee
also drove in a run for San Francisco.
Two-time Cy Young Award winner Tim
Lincecum also pitched for the Giants, allowing a run and one hit in one inning. He
struck out two and threw a pair of wild pitches.
Patrick Venditte, who can pitch with either
arm, got two outs for the As, one against a
right-hander and one against a left-hander.
Im so used to this, he said. Some days

The Notre Dame-Belmont girls basketball team is at its best when it looks like it
is playing its worst.
Pretty and Notre Dame-Belmont girls
basketball are usually not in the same sentence together, but when the Tigers make
the game helter-skelter, when they are
locked in defensively and do just enough
offensively, they are beautiful in coach
Josh Davenports eyes.
None of our games are (pretty),
Davenport said. If were doing things
right, theyre not pretty.
So after watching Kings Academy score
17 first-quarter points in a Central Coast
Section Division IV semifinal game, the
top-seeded Tigers turned up the heat defensively and cooled off the No. 4 Knights as
Notre Dame-Belmont advanced to the CCS
Division IV title game with a 37-32 victory
over the Knights at Menlo School Tuesday
night.
For us, defense is where we start, said
Notre Dame senior forward Eleni Giotinis.
Were not used to letting teams score that
much (like Kings Academy did in the first
quarter).
Notre Dame will now face Menlo School
for the CCS Division IV championship
Saturday at a time and place to be determined.
No. 2 Menlo (18-8) beat No. 3 Soquel
(19-9) 58-45 in the other semifinal game.
Notre Dame (13-13) had a hard time containing Kings Academys Katie Young
early, who scored 12 of the Knights first
17 points.
The Tigers, however, kept harassing her
and making her work. Once they took
Young away, the Knights struggled. After
scoring 17 points in the first quarter, they
managed only 15 points over the final three
quarters combined.
We wore her down, Davenport said.
And Notre Dame ratcheted up its defense.
A lot of it started with Giotinis. While she
did not having a great offensive night, she

ond half and we felt like we had a chance to


carry that over into overtime.
The Padres never led in the first half as
Mittys pressure man-to-man defense
refused to let Serra drive the paint. To make
matters worse, Serra couldnt find its touch
from the outside. The Padres shot just 7 for
20 from the floor in the opening half
including 1for 6 from 3-point land.
Serra forward Jake Killingsworth made
that 3-pointer count though. The junior
drilled a trey with seconds remaining in the
half to close Mittys lead to 23-22.
It was huge, Wohrer said. Finally to
get something going, it gave us confidence.
The shot gave the Padres momentum into
the second half and they seized it.
Killingsworth buried another 3-pointer near
the midway mark of the third quarter to give
Serra its first lead of the night at 26-25.

A group of 20 university presidents and


college athletics administrators is crafting a
proposal to better define when the NCAA
should investigate cases of academic cheating by student athletes.
Ohio University President Rod McDavis,
the chairman of the NCAAs Committee of
Academics, says the group plans to have a
proposal ready by the end of June.
NCAA head of enforcement Jon Duncan
said in January academic misconduct is on
the rise and his department was handling 20
open academic-misconduct investigations.
McDavis said in a recent interview with
The Associated Press the committee has
already agreed that any time a coach or paid
member of the schools athletic staff is
involved in an academic misconduct case the
NCAA should be involved.
The committees greatest challenge is balancing institutional autonomy with the need
for NCAA involvement and determining
who should punish cheaters, McDavis said.
The academic misconduct case at North
Carolina was a prime example of the delicate
balancing act. After a joint review with the
school, the NCAA stayed out of UNCs
affairs when it was first determined that a
large number of athletes took no-show
classes. But the scandal grew and the NCAA
later reopened its investigation into academic misconduct last summer because it

Serra back in Open final


Padres beat Mitty for third time this year; SHP falls to St. Francis
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Serra finally found the weapon to overcome nemesis Mitty in the Central Coast
Section Open Division boys basketball
tournament.
That weapons name? Jimmy Wohrer.
Wohrer scored a team-high 22 points as
second-seeded Serra (21-5) downed No. 3
Mitty 55-52 in an overtime thriller Tuesday
in the CCS Open Division semifinals at
Independence High.
After Mitty (16-10) took a slight 23-22
lead into halftime, Wohrer scored 14 points
after the break, including seven in overtime.
[Wohrer] was a senior who didnt want
his season to end, not counting the consolation game, Serra head coach Chuck Rapp
said. He knew we needed him to step up,
especially with Trevor Brown fouling out.
And that what seniors do. They step up in

big situations.
The seniors court presence proved invaluable in
the face of a near-epic
performance by Mitty
forward Ben Kone. The
big junior totaled a gamehigh 27 points and nine
rebounds. He created
Jimmy Wohrer problems for Serras post
defense and caused Brown
to foul out for the first time this season
with 5:40 to play in regulation.
The junior Wohrer hit a clutch 3-pointer
midway through the OT period to give the
Padres a 51-50 lead. Then with Serra clinging to a 53-52 advantage on its final possession, point guard Frank Lemos drove
into the paint with the shot clock winding
down to hit a picturesque turnaround jumper
with nine seconds remaining.
We felt confident, Wohrer said. We felt
we had a chance to win. We had a good sec-

Eagles to trade
McCoy to Bills

Sharks score half dozen in win

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VANCOUVER, British Columbia Matt


Nieto had two goals and an assist in leading
the San Jose Sharks to a 6-2 victory over
the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday night.
Chris Tierney, Melker Karlsson, Logan
Couture and Marc-Edouard Vlasic also scored
for San Jose, which was coming off a 4-0
home win Monday against Montreal. The
Sharks have won seven straight in
Vancouver, including the postseason.
Antti Niemi made 26 saves for San Jose.
Henrik Sedin had both goals for
Vancouver, which is second in the Pacific
Division, three points ahead of San Jose,
Los Angeles and Calgary.
Canucks goalie Jacob Markstrom had a
rough return to the NHL. He allowed three
goals on four shots before getting yanked
in the first period.

BUFFALO, N.Y. LeSean McCoy will


lead Rex Ryans ground and pound running attack with the Buffalo Bills next season.
A person familiar with the deal told The
Associated Press on Tuesday that the
Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to trade
McCoy, their star running back, to the Bills
for linebacker Kiko Alonso. The person
spoke under condition of anonymity
because the teams had not announced the
deal.
ESPN first reported the trade.
The deal has been agreed to, but cant be
completed until the 2015 league season
begins on Tuesday.
McCoy had an inconsistent season last
year after leading the NFL with 1,607 yards
rushing in 2013. At his best, McCoy is an
elite multidimensional running back who
has been a proven threat as both a runner
and receiver.
He enjoyed his best season in 2013, scoring nine touchdowns rushing plus 539
yards receiving and one touchdown.
McCoys addition means the Bills are
expected to pass on re-signing running
back C.J. Spiller, who is eligible to become
a free agent next week.
Alonso will be reunited with Chip Kelly,
who coached the linebacker at his previous
job at Oregon. Alonso made an immediate
impact in Buffalo after being selected in the
second round of the 2013 draft.
He emerged as an NFL defensive rookie of
the year contender after leading Buffalo
with 159 tackles, two fumble recoveries and
tied for the team lead with four interceptions while barely missing a snap in playing all 16 games.
Alonsos career was derailed in July, when
he sustained a season-ending left knee
injury during a pre-training camp workout
at Oregon. He spent all of last season recovering and is expected to be healthy for the
start of spring minicamps.
In Buffalo, McCoy will be reunited with
former Eagles running back Bryce Brown,
who was acquired by the Bills in a trade in
May.
With questions at quarterback, the Bills
are intending to introduce a run-heavy
offense under Ryan and new offensive coordinator Greg Roman.

Sharks 6, Canucks 2
Markstrom made his season debut, with
starter Ryan Miller injured and backup Eddie
Lack resting after giving up a combined 10
goals over his last two games,
On the Sharks first shot, just more than
three minutes in, Tierney recovered a
Canucks turnover in the Vancouver zone and
fired the puck over Markstroms shoulder.
Karlsson scored on San Joses second
shot of the game when he backhanded the
puck in while on his stomach during a goalmouth scramble at 7:18.
Couture, on a give-and-go with Nieto, put
in a rebound 27 seconds later to end
Markstroms night and bring in Lack, who
finished with 23 saves on 24 shots.
The Canucks got on the board just a
minute into the second while on the power

twin brother Henrik Sedin, who scored his
14th goal of the season. It was his 900th
career NHL point.

Rugby star agrees to deal with 49ers


By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Australian rugby star


Jarryd Hayne has agreed to a contract with the
San Francisco 49ers, a person with knowledge
of the deal said Tuesday.
The person spoke on condition of
anonymity to The Associated Press because a
formal announcement is not planned until
Hayne signs. He is expected to receive
$100,000 guaranteed.
Hayne is giving up his career in the
Australian National Rugby League to pursue
an NFL job across the world. He likely will
compete for a job as a running back and return
man on special teams.
The 27-year-old Hayne, who is 6-foot-2 and
220 pounds, held a news conference in Sydney
to announce he would join the 49ers. San
Francisco is beginning to build a roster for

for the first time since the
2010 season and following three straight trips to

Jarryd Hayne game.
Tomsulas experience
coaching in NFL Europe helped sway Hayne,
who also generated interest from Detroit and
Seattle. In December, the Lions acknowledged
that Hayne visited with them during his tour of
NFL teams after a workout in San Diego.
Hayne also visited the Pacific Northwest and
toured the University of Washington and
Seahawks headquarters in September.
Renowned for his acceleration and counterattacking skills in rugby, Hayne said he

believes he has the ability to make it as either


a punt returner or kick returner. The 49ers
appreciate versatility and depth, perhaps
something Hayne could offer at a couple of
positions.
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll was asked
about the transition for a rugby player though
the coach didnt meet with Hayne.
Carroll noted that rugby players would be
naturals to try to make the switch to football
given the similarities in skill sets.
Youre looking for great athletes to make
the transition because the guys on our level
are fantastic athletes, Carroll said. But there
is just a lot of general carry over because its
running, and making people miss, and hitting, and tackling, and being tough and physical and all that stuff.
Now, Carroll and the Super Bowl runner-up
Seahawks could be facing Hayne in the NFC
West.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Baseball trying to speed up games this spring


By Tom Withers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GOODYEAR, Ariz. With


large, glowing red numbers, the
timer on the center-field wall at
Goodyear Ballpark ticked down
Tuesday, counting off seconds and
ushering in change.
Baseball, the timeless game of
endless summers, went on the
clock.
Major League Baseball introduced its new pace of play initiatives during five exhibition games
in Arizona and Florida. As expected, there were a few minor glitches
as players, managers, umpires and
fans adjusted to the rules
designed to make games shorter,
more appealing to TV viewers and
perhaps lure the next generation of
fans to a sport fighting for attention.
On this opening day, baseball
had a slightly different look.
Ive never worked a game in the
history of baseball that has a
countdown clock, said umpire
Dan Iassogna, who kept an eye on
second base as the Pittsburgh
Pirates and Toronto Blue Jays
played in Dunedin, Florida. That
was a little different.
Under the pace of play provisions, hitters are required to keep
one foot in the batters box after
taking a pitch. Not everyone
seemed to get the memo.

New York Yankees leadoff hitter


Jacoby Ellsbury took the first
pitch of the game and this
spring, in fact from
Philadelphias David Buchanan
and immediately stepped outside
the white-chalked line, maintaining his routine.
These days, thats a no-no not
a no-hitter. But Vic Carapazza, the
plate umpire for the exhibition in
Clearwater, Florida, gave no signal to Ellsbury that he was guilty
of breaking one of the new rules.
MLB is using the spring training schedule and regular-season
games in April to break everyone
in. But starting May 1, offenders
will face discipline most likely
fines.
Along with keeping batters
close to the plate, pitchers are
required to have their warmup tosses completed before the clock
set at 2:25 for regionally televised
games and 2:45 for national
broadcasts is down to 30 seconds and the batter must be ready
by the time the clock reaches 5
seconds.
Two clocks were installed at all
ballparks throughout the Cactus
and Grapefruit Leagues, and for the
most part the time pieces went
unnoticed. Players hustled on and
off the field between innings,
most of them seemingly unaware
that they were being timed.
I tried not to pay attention to

TOMMY GILLIGAN/USA TODAY SPORTS

Timers are being used in center field of spring-training stadiums this spring,
in an effort to speed the pace of the game.
it, said San Francisco ace
Madison Bumgarner, last years
World Series MVP. Its going to
be that way during the season. I
didnt pay attention. I can usually
be ready.
In a few instances, hitters caught
themselves about to drift outside
the dirt near home plate and made
sure they kept at least a cleat on
the edge of the box.
I reminded a lot of guys today,
Oh, you cant do that. You do that
and were going to write you up for

that. You cant do that, said


umpire James Hoye, who called
balls and strikes for the Pirates and
Blue Jays. Theyd laugh and say,
Oh, sorry.
By the way, it took 3 hours, 17
minutes for Pittsburgh to beat
Toronto 8-7. The average MLB
gametime in the regular season
last year was 3:02.
Ellsbury was given the benefit
of the doubt for his misstep. He
wont be as lucky in the months
ahead. On Day One, crew chief Tom

Hallion and his colleagues werent


enforcing anything.
Hes already got enough on his
mind, the first pitch of spring
training, and now hes got to
remember to stay in the box, said
Hallion, who was at first for the
opener. Its a work in progress.
Its the first game and well go
from here. Its going to take some
work. Its a change for everybody.
Its not going to get fixed on the
first day.
Fans, too, had to adjust.
As he took his seat a few rows
behind Clevelands dugout, Glen
Pawlak of Concord, Ohio, immediately noticed the clock situated in
center field, just to the right of one
of the giant palm trees standing
guard in Goodyear at the spring
home of the Cincinnati Reds and
Cleveland Indians.
Pawlak, happy to be away from
the Ohio winter and visiting
Arizona with his wife, Jan, and
son, Brenden, was eager to see
how baseball might change.
Its interesting, he said. Its a
new adaptation to the game. TV
viewers these days have a very
short attention span. I think football and some of the other sports
with replay and so forth have a distinct advantage to be able to fill in
some of that space in between. The
changes are subtle, and its new so
its definitely something for
everyone to talk about.

Sports briefs
Cals Reshanda Gray named
Pac-12 Player of the Year
SAN FRANCISCO California
senior Reshanda Gray has been
named Pac-12 Player of the Year in
a vote by the leagues coaches.
Gray becomes Cals second
player to earn Player of the Year,
joining Devanei Hampton in
2006-07. The Pac-12 announced
its annual honors Tuesday.
Ruth Hamblin of Pac-12 champion Oregon State earned Defensive
Player of the Year and her coach,
Scott Rueck, was voted Coach of
the Year by his colleagues.
UCLAs Jordin Canada was
Freshman of the Year. Grays teammate and close friend, point guard
Brittany Boyd, joined her on the
15-player All-Pac-12 team, while
Stanford was represented by Amber
Orrange and Lili Thompson.
Gray averaged 18.1 points and
7.2 rebounds. She ranked eighth in
the country in field-goal percent-

said new information was available. An independent investigation later revealed details of the
scandal, including athletics counselors steering players to the
classes where they received artificially high grades.
McDavis described schools as
the first line of defense against
academic misconduct. He said the
committee has also agreed universities and colleges are responsible
to have and adhere to written academic misconduct policy.
The committee can expect some
pushback from campus leaders
who believe academic matters fall
strictly under institutional control.
On the surface it seems like it
should change, however, what we
all hear from campuses is that the
courses
offered,
curriculum,
majors, rigor, etc. are an institutional or campus department matter, said Kim Durand, associate
athletic director for student development at the University of
Washington. Institutional autonomy should reign.
Durand said one of the commit-

age at a Pac-12 best .576.

Denver Nuggets
fire coach Brian Shaw
DENVER The Denver Nuggets
have fired coach Brian Shaw after 1
1/2 seasons.
General manager Tim Connelly
said in a statement Tuesday: You
wont find a better guy than Brian
and he is one of the brightest basketball minds Ive ever been around.
Unfortunately things didnt go as we
hoped, but we know with his basketball acumen that he has a very bright
future ahead of him.
Assistant coach Melvin Hunt will
serve as interim coach.
Shaw went 56-85 for a .397 winning percentage. Denver takes a 2039 record and a six-game losing
streak into its game against
Milwaukee on Tuesday night.
Shaw replaced George Karl, who
was ousted after Denver won a franchise-record 57 games in 2012-13
only to be bounced from the first
round of the playoffs for the fourth
consecutive season.
tees goals is to close what she
called the gap between guidelines
and enforcement. Currently, an
NCAA violation related to academic misconduct only occurs if the
act results in a competitive advantage.
If you have a case where an
egregious act has happened, but
(if) the student-athlete is being
redshirted or blows out his or her
knee and doesnt compete for you
that year or doesnt need those
credits to make themselves eligible, then there is not an NCAA
violation, said Durand, who is
the president of the National
Association of Academic Advisors
for Athletics.
The other goal for the committee is to consolidate the bylaws on
academic misconduct that are now
sprinkled throughout the NCAA
manual.
If Im looking for guidance
from the NCAA manual on what
steps I need to take and where this
falls under, I may have to look at
three, maybe four different places
in the manual, Durand said. So
thats confusing.
A vote on the measure by members from every Division I conference plus conference commissioners, faculty members and students,
could happen as soon as April
2016.

drew two charging calls.
She was a stat stuffer tonight,
Davenport said of Giotinis. Nothing
makes me happier than seeing a girl draw a
charge.
Its a new look for Giotinis, who was
known earlier in her career as a scorer.
Now, she is more than happy to base her
game on defense.
Once I get a charge, thats our starting
point, Giotinis said. I used to be, really,
an offensive threat. Ive completely
changed my game.
Megan Smith led Notre Dame with 12
points, followed by Giotinis seven. Cam
McNab added six.
Kings Academy was led by Youngs gamehigh 16 points 13 of which came in the
first half.
Notre Dame got off a good start offensive-

Pastorino to open the scoring and McNab
added a three-point play to put the Tigers up
6-3 early.
Then Young got loose. She buried a 3 to
tie the score at 6, and following a Neisha
Wright bucket, Young scored the final nine
points of the quarter as Kings Academy (224) led 17-11 after one.
The Tigers defense really took effect the
following quarter. While Notre Dame managed just seven points, the Tigers held the
Knights to just one made free throw in the
period as the teams went into the break tied
at 18.
Notre Dame opened the third quarter with a
5-0 run to open up a 23-18 lead. The
Knights closed to 23-20 following a layup,
but the Tigers got back-to-back baskets
from Smith for a 27-20 advantage. Kings
Academy got a three-point play to close to
27-23 going into the fourth quarter.
The Tigers opened up a 31-26 advantage
with 4:29 left to play when Pastorino
scored a fast-break layup, but a jumper from
Kings Academys Carissa Mills and a pair
of free throws from Wright, closed the
Knights deficit to a single point, 31-30,

It was a great game, Rapp said. It was
sure fun to watch, but it was stressful to
coach.
The stress started as soon as Mitty won the
opening tip-off. The Monarchs opened the
game with a 10-2 run, capped by Kones
back-to-back three-point plays one 3pointer and one by drawing a foul on a layup
to force Serra to take a first-quarter timeout.
We started kind of sluggish, Wohrer said.
Its a credit to them. They were ready to
play.
The regroup served Serra well. The Padres
went on a seven-point run to get back into it,
capped by a lay-in by Lee Jones to close
Mittys lead to 10-9 at the start of the second
quarter.
While the Padres did not lead throughout
the first half, they did tie it one minute before
halftime on an impressive follow by Wohrer.
The senior missed a 3-point attempt out of
the corner but barreled through traffic to grab
the offensive rebound. He then drew a foul on
the put-back and converted the free throw to
tie it 19-19.
It was kind of an ugly game going back
and forth, but we were able to pull it out at the

end. That's all that matters, Killingsworth said.


The Monarchs ugly
ball control cost them in
the second half. Mitty
committed 12 turnovers
in the half, six in each
quarter. And it was during
a glut of three consecutive turnovers
that
Jake
allowed
the
Padres
to
Killingsworth
quickly take the lead.
Killingsworths 3-pointer with 4:52
remaining in the quarter and a Lemos trey to
follow both came off turnovers. And both
were assisted by Brown, who swung up top in
the half-court set to stabilize the offense. On
the heels of Lemos shot the Padres led 2925.
Mitty briefly tied it at the start of the
fourth quarter when Kone powered to the
hoop and drew the foul to make it 33-33.
Kone who went 11 for 14 from the line
throughout missed the free throw, however, to keep the score deadlocked.
The Padres grabbed the lead back on the
ensuing possession when Wohrer sent a
beautiful bounce pass into the paint for
Brown, who hammered it home to put Serra
up until the final minute of regulation.
Serra maintained despite Brown fouling
out on the ensuing possession. To make matters worse, a minute later Killingsworth was
called for a foul under the hoop while taking
an elbow to the face in the process. With a
bloodied brow, Killingsworth was forced to

Pack in protein and save the budget with beans and rice
By Melissa DArabian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

When I was growing up, beans and rice


were an end-of-month staple. As money
got tight, my mom would whip up a beans
and rice casserole, a healthy, budgetfriendly choice that stretched our pantry a
bit longer.
Not that we necessarily appreciated it.
Its a complete protein! Mom would
proudly announce as my sister and I
groaned. But mom was right beans and
rice are a great combination worth another
look.
Red beans are a classic choice for this
combination, especially in spicy Creole
cuisine. Red beans and rice likely became
popular because of its nutrition profile.
Red kidney beans are full of protein, fiber,
vitamins and minerals. Just a 1/2 cup serving has 8 grams each of protein and fiber
all for about 100 calories, and close to
no fat.
Adding rice to the dish completes the

amino acids needed to make a complete


protein, making beans and rice a fantastic
option for vegetarians. In Creole cuisine,
the dish is flavored with a bit of meat,
either sausage, ham, or just the ham bone
leftover from a previous meal.
My version is quick and uses cubed ham
to flavor the beans, along with some dried
spices and herbs. And while the recipe is
simple, the flavors are anything but.
Between the ham, chipotle chili powder,
cumin, thyme and garlic, you get a whole
lot of flavor for not a lot of effort. And
with Mardi Gras upon us, it seems like a
great time for beans and rice, even if it
isnt the end of the month!

Easy overnight oat


pudding that makes
a healthy breakfast
By Melissa DArabian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The trick to making a nutritious


breakfast a daily habit is never
being more than 60 seconds away
from something healthy. Because
in the morning rush, its too easy
to grab something unhealthy.
Lately, my go-to quick and
healthy choice has been oat pudding, mostly because my kids love
it. But I also like the staying
power the complex carbs and fiber
have to keep us feeling full. Oats
or oatmeal (plain, not the flavored
quickie pouches), are on just about
every list of heart healthy foods,
as it has a nice dose of both soluble and insoluble fibers. Oats also
bring a few grams of protein to the
party, while having less than a
gram of sugar.
Even non-instant rolled oats are
really only a few minutes away
from being cooked into the iconic
breakfast porridge I grew up eating
(at the insistence of my grandma).
But sometimes 5 minutes feels
about 4 minutes too long, at least
at our house. And more to the
point, my family doesnt all love

oatmeal as much as I learned to.


Oat pudding solves these problems. And more.
Oat pudding is made the night
before (and only takes a few minutes), and can be customized to
your tastes. Its easy to add
almond butter, cocoa powder,
maple syrup, berries, cinnamon,
applesauce, fresh or frozen fruit,
shaved coconut or whatever else
you enjoy.
The key is to mix about equal
parts oats and liquid, add the flavorings, then let the pudding rest
in the refrigerator for at least an
hour and up to 48 hours. Pull the
pudding out of the fridge, top with
any extras (like fruit, nuts, honey
or maple syrup) and enjoy. Or pop
in the microwave for a minute for a
warm pudding. Easy. And so much
better than grandmas big pot of
sticky porridge.

PARK
Continued from page 1
of land on two parcels around 450
Airport Blvd. into park land, under
direction given by City Council at the
Monday, March 2 meeting.
The city would need to enter into a
long-term lease with the California
State Lands Commission with intent
to construct a park on the land, that is
currently a vacant, overgrown lot,
abutting the Bayshore, near Kincaids
Restaurant and the former drive-in theater site.
But preliminary environmental
review found there are 15,771 square
feet of seasonal wetlands on the property that the Regional Water Quality
Control Board, which maintains jurisdiction over the property, would
require be protected should the land be
developed into a public space.
The protections would force city
staff to reconsider initial plans for the
park, which would sink more than $7
million into developing a large swath
of grassy area that could serve as
sports fields, along with an extension
of the Bay Trail, plus a kayak and
windboard launch platform, picnic
tables, seating and parking.
Councilmembers expressed frustration at having to reconsider the initial
design due to wetlands that only occur
after wet weather patterns.
Seems kind of silly we have to go
through all this trouble for puddles
that happen when it rains, said Mayor
Terry Nagel.

parole.
Swiggards sister, Susan Melton of
South Carolina, hopes Brown reverses
the decision again and sent him a letter
detailing why Sapp should remain
behind bars.
Last weeks parole hearing was the
fourth for Sapp who is serving a sentence of 26 years to life at California
State Prison in Solano.
Sapps Board of Parole Hearings
panel Feb. 24 was comprised of
Commissioner John Peck and Deputy
Commissioner Mark Remis. The two
found that Sapp is not an unreasonable
risk of danger to the public if released
and found him suitable for parole,
according to the San Mateo County
District Attorneys Office.
But the victims sister, Melton, said
Sapp is evil and that he terrifies her
even though she lives on the East
Coast.
This is not a person who will get a

THE DAILY JOURNAL

The city must now go back to the


drawing board and develop park formations that work around the protected
regions.
One alternative includes creating a
park that would serve as a sort of natural preserve, in which the Bay Trail
could be continued through the region,
but the open space would be reserved
for interaction with the environment.
Another proposed design would offer
a hybrid approach, creating some open
spaces for sports fields, though much
smaller than what is included in the
initial proposal, and other areas would
be preserved as wetlands.
Some councilmembers agreed even if
the city may not be able to develop the
land in the fashion originally intended, it would still be in the best interest
of the city to move forward with the
intent to lease the property and
increase the amount of public space
available in Burlingame.
The worst-case scenario is still
something we should look at, said
Councilman Ricardo Ortiz. I understand the concerns with not being able
to have full-on fields, but the worstcase scenario is still valuable to the
city.
Councilman Michael Brownrigg
echoed those sentiments.
I dont think assets like this will
ever come again to Burlingame, he
said. We owe it to the people to turn it
to an asset to the city. I think this is
something we ought to do.
But Vice Mayor Ann Keighran said
she would be reluctant to support
entering a lease, which could be in the
neighborhood of 60 years, without a
guarantee that the city would be able to

develop the space to its maximum


capacity.
Before the council will be asked to
support any design, however,
Glomstad will go back to the State
Lands Commission to continue the
application process, with the understanding there will need to be mitigations in the planning process to
address the wetlands on the site.
She said, in an email, should the
State Lands Commission approve the
citys application, staff might be
interested in suggesting contingencies in the lease agreement that would
protect the city should the environmental conditions become a liability
to the city.
Ortiz suggested that maybe the city
attempt to arrive at an agreement with
the State Lands Commission stating
should developing the property into
parkland prove too difficult, it would
revert back to its previous owner after
five years.
As part of the protections of the
site, a fence would need to be built 25
feet back from the sensitive area
around the perimeter, to ensure park
visitors do not interfere with the wetlands.
Nagel said should the city move forward to establish a passive-use park,
she would like to see it be focused
around interpretive wetlands, but that
would be difficult to accomplish with
fences.
Ortiz said he favored taking control
of the land, despite the difficulties
associated with developing it.
Even with all the puddles the way
they are now, there is still value, he
said.

job and act like a normal person,


Melton said.
On July 10, 1990, Sapp, then a traveling salesman, stabbed and strangled
Swiggard after she allegedly used the
phrase thats so gay as the two
watched television together.
Sapp was dating Swiggards roommate at the time and was dealing with
his own repressed feelings around his
own sexuality, prosecutors said.
Swiggard was 34 at the time of her
killing and Sapp was 22.
Sapp felt like Swiggard was teasing
him about being gay without realizing
he was gay himself and hiding it from
his religious fundamentalist family,
according to prosecutors.
Sapp maintained his innocence during his 1990 trial.
But Sapp told a parole board in 2007
that he struck Swiggard in the head,
dragged her into the bathroom where
he slit her throat and then finished the
job by suffocating her with his hands,
according to prosecutors.
Sapp also stole items after the
killing, including a photo of
Swiggard, who was a model, in a negli-

gee. He later claimed he stole the items


to sell and finance an escape, according to prosecutors.
In Meltons letter to Brown, she
writes: I very much fear for the safety
of any young woman in your community if he is allowed out. I am frightened for my own safety living all the
way across the country. I very much
believe that if he gets out he will
immediately run, he will not stick
around and be supervised by a probation department. That honestly puts
women across this country in danger.
Melton is thankful that Brown
reversed Sapps release before and
hopes he does it again.
The Board of Parole Hearings has
120 days to review the case after which
it will be forwarded to the governors
office for a decision within 30 days.
If Brown does not reverse the decision or takes no action, Sapp would be
released within five days, according to
the Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Without breaking

comfort and cost- efficiency of your house. Make your
home a welcome retreat from outside pressures.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Consider making

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Get together with friends.

to your health. Some physical activity will help alleviate

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Make personal

considerate, but put your needs first. A new creative
challenge will get you moving.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Travel delays or
minor roadblocks will prevent you from completing

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Some things cannot
be rushed. You should use your powers of persuasion
and persistence when discussing a possible deal with
your employer or partner.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Be a leader, not a
follower. You are at your best when you make your
own decisions and listen to your intuition. Being
what someone else wants you to be will lead to
disappointment.
