Planners plot future of San Mateos Central Park

Master plan update draws public concern; support for new recreation center, keeping tennis courts
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Balancing competing interests

for limited space at San Mateos
Central Park is an ongoing challenge for city officials as planners
and the public weighed in on the
master plan update Tuesday night.
Dozens of people spoke at the
Planning Commissions study

session with concerns over the
proposals to revamp the downtown park as the heavily used tennis courts and current recreation
center housing the nonprofit Self
Help for the Elderly may be
removed.
In the midst of the updating the
1982 master plan, future public
hearings will be held during a

April 8 Public Works Commission
study session and a joint meeting
of the City Council and Parks and
Recreation Commission. The city
doesnt currently have funds set
aside for specific improvements
and the council must vote to
approve the plans that will shape
the future of the park.
We are bringing care where the people are.

Samaritan House Medical Director Dr. Jason Wong
Between 1982 and today and as

we project into the future, the
community is going to change and
this space has to meet the evolving needs of our community, said
Planning Commission Vice Chair
Josh Hugg. This park, in addition
to being very unique, also serves
as really one of the primary urban
respites thats transit accessible.
While
the
Planning
Commission was instructed to
provide feedback on how to
enhance the visual and physical
connection from downtown to the
park cornered by El Camino Real
and Fifth Avenue, some members
of the public suggested leaving it
as is.

Samaritan House offers health care services for uninsured

When the San Mateo County

Health System has a backlog of
patients, they are routinely
referred to free clinics in Redwood
City and San Mateo operated by
Samaritan House.
The countys Fair Oaks Health
Center
in
unincorporated
Redwood City annually serves
about 17, 000 adults and children
covered mostly by Medi-Cal but
Samaritan Houses small clinic
around the corner cares for
patients who absolutely have no
health insurance at all.

The clinic provides primary
care, dentistry and specialty
health services for 1,100 adults
annually with about 4,000 patient
visits in one of the countys poorest neighborhoods, said Medical
Director Dr. Jason Wong.

Millbrae budget better than expected

Officials cite increases in hotel tax revenue, spending cuts among sources of fiscal optimism
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Millbrae is on track to enjoy a profitable

year, according to a midyear budget document which shows tax income is expected
to help drive the general fund balance above
initial projections.
Should trends continue through the rest of
the fiscal year, officials may be able to pay
down some of the citys debt or address necessary capital improvement projects,
according to a budget document discussed by
the City Council Wednesday, March 24.
The citys general fund balance could
exceed projections by as much as 10 percent, should revenue and expenditures keep
their current pace, according to the report.
Councilman Wayne Lee praised Millbraes
leadership in laying the groundwork for
what looks to be a good year for the citys
coffers.
Council has been working really, really
hard, he said. We did a great job in producing revenue streams.
Sales tax revenue has taken a hit after
Kohls left the city, but that void has been
backfilled by increases to parking and transient occupancy, or hotel, tax revenue,
according to the report.
Lee said he was pleased with the hotel tax
returns, which are expected to exceed projections by as much as 10 percent, but noted
the unstable nature of the travel industry and
preferred the city not rely on it as a main
source of revenue.
He instead suggested that officials focus
on
diversifying
Millbraes sources of
income.
I dont like the idea of
depending on TOT, he
said. To me, its a
bonus.
In an effort to engage
fellow officials in thinking about increasing revWayne Lee
enue sources, Lee encouraged the city to establish an economic
development committee, which would
attempt to drive business in Millbrae.
A majority of the sales tax profit comes
from restaurants and bars, but Lee said he
would like to see the city bring in more revenue from retail stores as well.
Lee said Millbrae should take a measured
approach to spending, and focus on developing sales tax revenue.
We want to be more conservative, and
lean toward building up our sales base, he
said.
The city has spent 37 percent of what is
budgeted for general fund expenditures, 2
percent lower than what is typically spent
through the middle of the fiscal year, which
could result in savings of almost 15 percent
by the end of the year, according to the
report.
The adopted total budget for the year is
roughly $53 million, according to the
report.
Councilwoman Marge Colapietro suggested that, if the city is doing better than
expected, officials should consider setting

It is very, very important we be very
conscious of those long-term liabilities,
she said.
Revenue from the citys water and sanitation fund are projected to be 10 percent
short of what was budgeted at the beginning
of the year, which officials attribute to residents complying with a request to reduce
usage to address drought conditions.
Income from various fees, such as building permits and fire inspections, are also
above what had been projected, according to
the report.
The citys largest source of revenue is
property taxes, which has only generated
43 percent of the amount budgeted. The
report notes a majority of this money
comes to the city later in the year, but officials expect it could still fall short of what
was projected by as much as 5 percent.
Money generated by parking tax from the
citys many hotels along the Bayshore,
near San Francisco International Airport,
has helped offset other underperforming
funds, according to the report.
Lee said that the city should look forward
to future opportunities for income.
Its very important we realize we are in a
really good place right now, and with the
Super Bowl coming up, we will be in an
even better place, he said.

Woman convicted of stealing diamonds

By Scott Morris
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
A Palo Alto woman was convicted Tuesday

of stealing diamonds from under a clerks
nose at a San Mateo jewelry store last year,
according to the San Mateo County District
Attorneys Office.
Angela Walker, 46, was arrested after she
left contact information with the store clerk
last March 27 and returned days later, apparently in an attempt to steal more diamonds,
police said shortly after her arrest.
After three hours of deliberations Tuesday,
a jury convicted her of commercial burglary,
grand theft and possession of drugs, prosecutors said.

She committed the
theft at Galati Jewelers at
35 E. Fourth Ave. in San
Mateo, where she went
shopping for a diamond
ring at about 2 p.m. on
Angela Walker March 27, according to
police.
The clerk showed her several loose diamonds and a solitaire diamond ring. When
the saleswoman went into a back room,
Walker stole the diamond ring, police said.

Walker then switched one of the loose diamonds with a cubic zirconia of matching
size.
Walker told the saleswoman she planned
on coming back to view more diamonds and
left her contact information. A few hours
later, the clerk realized the items had been
stolen and called police.
Investigators realized the contact information Walker left behind was legitimate
and convinced the clerk to call her back to
the store.
Walker returned days later, viewed more
diamonds and attempted to sell the store a
suspected stolen necklace, police said.
Officers arrested her and found her in possession of another cubic zirconia, one the
same size as the diamond she was scheduled
to view.

Lawmakers approve $1 billion water plan

By Fenit Nirappil
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO The state Senate on

Wednesday approved a $1 billion proposal
to speed up spending on water projects and
offer some relief to residents and wildlife in
drought-stricken California.
The Senate voted 35-1 on a bill accelerating infrastructure spending, including $660
million on flood protection. An accompanying measure that authorized fines for illegal water diversions passed on a 24-14
party-line vote, with Republicans opposed.

Jail custodian accused of smuggling
drugs pleads to lesser charges
A San Mateo County jail custodian
accused of smuggling drugs to inmates last
year pleaded to a lesser charge Tuesday after
key prosecution witnesses refused to testify, San Mateo County District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe said Wednesday.
Michael De Cartagena, 46, had been
charged last September with two counts of
smuggling drugs into jail between May and
June 2014. On Tuesday, he pleaded no contest to misdemeanor possession of drugs
and was sentenced to two years probation,
prosecutors said.
Prosecutors had alleged that De Cartagena
had started letting jail inmates use his cellphone and then began delivering packages
to them, including drugs. An inmate came
forward to report the alleged smuggling.
Wagstaffe said prosecutors ran into problems proving the case when two of three jail
inmates slated to testify against De
Cartagena stopped cooperating with the
prosecution.
With only one inmate willing to testify,
Wagstaffe said the case would have been too
munities would benefit, marking a change

from how flood bond money is usually
spent. Lawmakers typically know what
projects they are approving, according to
the nonpartisan Legislative Analysts
Office.
Communities can start applying for funding next month if the bills pass. However,
projects eligible for funding might not be
chosen until 2020.
Brown said using money to prevent
floods is related to the drought because climate change increases the likelihood of
sudden storms overtaking communities,
even in dry periods.
The analysts office says spending for
flood protection in California has been
slowed in recent years as projects have
struggled to find federal and local matching
funds and get lengthy, mandatory environmental clearances. The office has criticized
earlier versions of the flood protection plan
for not addressing these delays.
The emergency legislation also cracks
down on water-guzzling marijuana farms by
authorizing state fish and wildlife officials
to fine growers up to $8,000 for illegally
taking water.
These devastating illegal trespass grows
on state and federal lands are literally drying
up Northern California rivers, said Sen.
Mike McGuire, a Democrat from the rural

North Coast where marijuana farms are
blooming in heavy forests.
Republican lawmakers raised concerns
about growing government and the potential for farmers also facing fines.
Every time we do one of these emergency
bills what we really do is expand the authority of the government, said Sen. Tom
Berryhill, R-Twain Harte.
The legislation would also make about
$75 million available to help residents and
wildlife affected by the dry conditions,
including for food banks and emergency
drinking water. Another $267 million from
a water measure approved last year would
fund grants for water recycling and expanding drinking water in small and poor cities.
Not everything in the legislation deals
with water. One provision approves a labor
agreement expanding pay for prison psychologists and social workers who have to
help remove inmates with mental illness
from cells because of a federal court order.
Keely Bosler, deputy director of the
Department of Finance, told lawmakers earlier Wednesday that the governors office
wanted the extra $647,000 approved as
quickly as possible to ease the burden on
supervisors who are filling in until the
labor deal is finalized.
difficult to prove since it would have been

the word of one jail inmate against a county
employee with no criminal record.
He said prosecutors thought the plea to
the lesser charge was a reasonable middle
ground.
We wish the case were stronger so we
could hold him accountable to a higher
level, Wagstaffe said, but youre only as
good as the evidence you have.
De Cartagenas attorney, Michael
Hroziencik, could not immediately be
reached for comment.
The case was unrelated to a separate case
alleging two corrections officers and a sheriffs deputy smuggled cellphones and drugs
to a Hells Angels member over the course of
seven months in 2013. Those charges are
still pending.

California AG moves to Budget to cut deficit

end anti-gay initiative passed by the House
By Lisa Leff
SAN FRANCISCO California

Attorney General Kamala Harris
asked a state court on Wednesday for
permission to
reject a proposed
ballot initiative
stipulating that
anyone
who
engages in gay
sex be killed.
Harris issued a
statement saying she was
Kamala Harris making
the
unusual request
to stop the measure filed by a
Southern California lawyer late last
month. The initiative seeks to
amend the California penal code to
make sex with a person of the same
gender an offense punishable by
bullets to the head or by any other
convenient method. The distribution of gay propaganda would be
punishable by a $1 million fine or
banishment from the state.

This proposal not only threatens
public safety, it is patently unconstitutional, utterly reprehensible,
and has no place in a civil society,
Harris said.
Matthew McLaughlin, the Orange
County lawyer who paid $200 to
submit the initiative, did not
respond to a telephone call seeking
comment. A Democratic state senator, Ricardo Lara, has asked the
California bar to investigate
whether McLaughlins actions make
him unfit to practice law.
The measure puts Harris in a difficult position. Although the bill has
no discernible momentum or likely
chance of success, she said unless a
judge rules otherwise, she will have
no choice but to give McLaughlin
the go-ahead to gather the nearly
366,000 votes needed to qualify the
measure for the November 2016 ballot.
California is one of 21 states
where citizens can petition to have
laws put on the ballot through the
gathering of voter signatures Under
Californias initiative process, state

officials do not have authority to
refuse to administer initiatives they
find objectionable, the California
Supreme Court has ruled.
Although few of the dozens submitted to the attorney general each
year make it on the ballot, the ease
with which a resident with a pet
peeve can gain clearance to circulate
their proposals while seeking signatures has prompted calls for reform.
University of California, Davis
law professor Floyd Feeney, an
expert on Californias initiative
process, said Harris alone cannot
impede the proposed law. And
despite the numerous legal problems
with McLaughlins proposal,
Feeney said he was not convinced a
court would agree to halt it at this
stage.
The courts, rightly or wrongly,
treat the initiative as sort of the citizen right and they are reluctant to get
involved in trying to get rid of it, at
least in advance, by using the law to
keep something from being presented to the electorate, he said.
Posthumous video supports aid-in-dying bill

By Judy Lin
SACRAMENTO In a video
recorded 19 days before Brittany
Maynard took life-ending drugs, she
tells California lawmakers that no
one should have to leave home to
legally kill themselves under the
care of a doctor.
Unfortunately, California law
prevented me from getting the endof-life option I deserved, she said in
the recording released Wednesday,
hours ahead of the first state Senate
committee hearing on the issue.
Lawmakers gave initial approval, 52, after a moving debate before a
packed Capitol room.
The 29-year-old San Francisco
Bay Area woman had terminal brain
cancer and moved with her family to
Oregon before killing herself last
year. Her death drew widespread
attention and recharged legislative
efforts in California and elsewhere to
make it legal for terminally ill

patients to kill themselves with
drugs.
No one should have to leave their
home and community for peace of
mind, to escape suffering, and to
plan for a gentle death, Maynard
said In the video.
The bill being considered in
California is expected to face a
strong challenge led by medical, disability and religious groups.
Opponents see huge consequences
for allowing doctors to prescribe
fatal drugs and questioned the morality of the bill.
Opponents
told lawmakers
Wednesday that the bill would sanction physician assisted suicide with
no way to undo mistakes or abuses.
Do not mistake temporary popularity with wisdom, said Warren
Fong, president of the Medical
Oncology Association of Southern
California and an oncologist.
Other terminally ill patients such
as Kara Tippetts, a 38-year-old

Colorado mother of four, wrote an
open letter to Maynard in October
urging her not to end her life.
Tippetts wrote that suffering can
be the place where true beauty can
be known. She died this month of
breast cancer.
Advocates for aid-in-dying laws
say legislators in at least 17 states
have introduced similar measures
this year. However, proposals in at
least four states have already stalled
for the year and many have not yet
received a hearing.
Past proposals have foundered in
statehouses amid emotionally
charged debates and strong opposition.
Some medical groups say prescribing life-ending medication violates a
doctors oath to do no harm, while
some advocates for people with disabilities fear some sick patients
would feel pressured to end their lives
to avoid being a financial burden.

WASHINGTON Normally quarrelsome House Republicans came

together Wednesday night and
passed a boldly conservative budget
that relies on nearly $5 trillion in
cuts to eliminate deficits over the
next decade, calls for repealing the
health care law and envisions transformations of the tax code and
Medicare.
Final passage, 228-199, came
shortly after Republicans bumped
up recommended defense spending
to levels proposed by President
Barack Obama.
Much of the budgets savings
would come from Medicaid, food
stamps and welfare, programs that
aid the low-income, although
details were sketchy.
Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., chairman
of the House Budget Committee,
called the plan a balanced budget
for a stronger America and one
that would get this economy
rolling again.
Democrats rebutted that the GOP
numbers didnt add up and called
their policies wrong-headed.
People who are running in place
today are not going to be moving
forward under the Republican budget, theyre going to be falling
back, said Rep. Chris Van Hollen
of Maryland.
The Republican-controlled Senate
is likely to approve its version of a
budget by weeks end.
The plans themselves are nonbinding and do not require a presidential signature. Instead, once the
House and Senate agree on a common approach, lawmakers will have
to draft legislation to carry out the
program that Republicans have
vowed to follow in the wake of campaign victories last fall that gave
them control of both houses of
Congress.
Still, House passage of a budget
marked a significant victory for
Speaker John Boehner and the GOP
leadership, which have struggled
mightily to overcome differences
within a fractious rank and file.

An equally notable second triumph appeared on the horizon.

Legislation to stabilize the system
of payments to doctors who treat
Medicare patients is expected to
clear the House Thursday, and
Obamas declaration of support
enhanced its chances in the Senate.
It includes a requirement for upperincome Medicare beneficiaries to
pay more for their coverage, a provision Republicans hailed as a triumph in their drive to curtail the
growth of benefit programs.
There was nothing bipartisan
about the budget debate, though.
Republicans supported it, 228-17,
while all 182 Democrats who voted
were opposed.
The House plan calls for $5.4 trillion in deficit reduction over a
decade, including about $2 trillion
from repeal of the law known as
Obamacare. Nearly $1 trillion would
be saved from from Medicaid and
CHIP, health care programs for the
low-income, and $1 billion from
other unspecified benefit programs.
Another $500 billion would come
from general government programs
that already have been squeezed in
recent years by deficit-reduction
agreements between Congress and
the White House.
The budget outline itself provides
few if any details of the cuts envisioned, although once they appear
in legislation they are highly likely
to spark a veto showdown with
Obama.
The president has also vowed to
defend the health care law that
stands as his signature domestic
achievement. The House has already
voted more than 60 times to repeal it
in part or whole, but for the first
time since the law passed, House
members have a willing partner in
the Senate.
The prospect of sending Obama
legislation to repeal the health care
law contributed to the unusual degree
of unity among House conservatives. Without a budget in place,
they noted, the repeal measure would
not have special protection against
a Senate filibuster and would not
reach the White House.

Sympathy pours in for

fallen San Jose officer
By Jeff Burbank
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Local and state officials, including Gov.

Jerry Brown, expressed sympathy for the
family of a 38-year-old San Jose police officer shot to death while on duty Tuesday in East
San Jose.
California Gov. Jerry Brown, Attorney
General Kamala Harris, Santa Clara County
District Attorney Jeff Rosen and San Joses
police union were among those to issue statements following the death of Officer Michael
Johnson, a 14-year veteran of the San Jose
Police Department.
Anne (Brown) and I extend our deepest
condolences to Officer Johnsons family,
friends and fellow officers, Brown said in
statement
from
Sacramento, where he
ordered flags at the
Capitol to be flown at
half-staff.
Officer Johnson will
be remembered for his
courage and dedicated
service and we join the
entire San Jose communiMichael
ty in mourning this tragic
Johnson
loss, Brown said.
Johnsons
parents,
Katherine Decker and Daniel Johnson, survive him, according to the governors office.
San Jose police reported that Johnson was
killed at 6:50 p.m. Tuesday after officers
exchanged gunfire with the alleged shooter,
57-year-old Scott Dunham, at an apartment in
the 2600 block of Senter Road.
Dunham was located at 3:20 a.m.
Wednesday lying dead from at least one gunshot wound on a balcony of the apartment.
Police have not yet said whether he died from
a shot fired by officers or a self-inflicted shot.
A family member of Dunhams phoned
police Tuesday evening saying he was
despondent, intoxicated, possibly had access
to weapons, including a rifle, and might hurt
someone, police said.
Dunham, who was alone in the apartment,
allegedly started firing gunshots from the residence at responding officers, who returned
fire, according to police.
Johnson, who also worked as a field training officer, was wounded and died at the scene.
Officers set up a perimeter around the neighborhood to prevent the suspects escape and
remained outside for several hours until

Dunhams body was discovered early
Wednesday morning.
Police said that officers had no contact with
Dunham from after the shooting to when his
body was found and it was possible he had
been dead on his balcony during the intervening hours.
Harris, in a statement from Sacramento,
said she wanted to extend my deepest sympathies to the family and loved ones of
Officer Michael Johnson, who made the ultimate sacrifice in service of his community
and his state.
My condolences also go out to Chief Larry
Esquivel and the entire San Jose Police
Department, which has lost not only a dedicated colleague, but a family member, she
said.
Rosen, in a statement, said that the daily
risks and sacrifices of our police officers are
bluntly measured by these sad and tragic
days.
Michael Johnson lost his life, a life spent
protecting ours, trying to help someone who
had lost the value of his own. I hope today we
will all take a moment to honor the value of
this valiant officers life, he said.
Tom Saggau, spokesman for the San Jose
Police Officers Association, in a statement
also expressed condolences to the family and
friends of Johnson, who was tragically
struck down in the prime of his life while protecting and serving the residents of San
Jose.
Even during this time of grief and sorrow
the men and women who make up the San
Jose Police Department did their jobs last
night and ensured that the community was
protected and that the coward who perpetrated
this horrific crime did not harm anyone else,
Saggau said.
Saggau thanked people in law agencies
from throughout the country who have
expressed their sympathy over Johnsons
death.
We also owe a debt of gratitude to our local
law enforcement family who deployed officers and sheriff deputies to assist during this
unmitigated tragedy, he said. Their selflessness honored the spirit of our fallen brother,
Officer Michael Johnson.
Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors
president Dave Cortese Wednesday ordered
flags flown at half-staff at all county facilities
until April 1 in honor of Johnson.

Standing together in a union gives us
strength to improve patient care and provide
security for our families, said Sami Abed, a
13-year paramedic in Santa Cruz County and
president of United EMS Workers-AFSCME
Local 4911. Having that power is important for EMS professionals anywhere.
The new contract is the result of two years
of intense negotiations.

Bergdahl to be charged with desertion
WASHINGTON The Army sergeant who abandoned
his post in Afghanistan and was held captive by the
Taliban for five years will be court-martialed on charges
of desertion and avoiding military service, a U.S. official
said Wednesday.
Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl will also be charged with misbehavior before the enemy, said the official, who was not
authorized to discuss the announcement on the record and
spoke only on condition of anonymity.
The charges are the latest development in a long and
bitter debate over Bergdahls case, and underscore the military and political ramifications of his decision on June
30, 2009, to leave his post after expressing misgivings
about the U.S. militarys role, as well as his own, in the
Afghanistan war.
Desertion can carry a maximum penalty of death, but
most military officials have said they believe that is not
likely in this case.
The U.S. military planned an announcement at Fort
Bragg in North Carolina, which is expected to include the
location of the court-martial.
After leaving his post, Bergdahl was captured by the
Taliban and held by members of the Haqqani network, an
insurgent group tied to the Taliban that operates both in
Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Last May 31, Bergdahl was handed over to U.S. special
forces in Afghanistan as part of an exchange for five
Taliban commanders who were imprisoned at Guantanamo
Bay, Cuba.
After spending about two weeks recuperating at a U.S.
military hospital in Germany, Bergdahl was sent to
Brooke Army Medical Center at Fort Sam Houston in
Texas on June 13. He has been doing administrative
duties at the base, awaiting the conclusion of the case.

U.S. helping Iraq retake Tikrit

By Robert Burns
WASHINGTON At Iraqs request,

the U.S. began airstrikes in Tikrit on
Wednesday in support of a stalled Iraqi
ground offensive to retake the city from
Islamic State fighters, a senior U.S.
official said.
The airstrikes were ongoing, the
official said without providing details.
The official spoke on condition of
anonymity because the attacks had not
yet been officially announced.
An Associated Press correspondent in
Tikrit reported hearing warplanes overhead late Wednesday, followed by multiple explosions.
Iraq began the Tikrit ground offensive
in early March without requesting U.S.
air support, even as it welcomed help
from Iran.
In an address to the nation Wednesday
evening, Prime Minister Haider alAbadi predicted success in Tikrit but did
not say the U.S. was providing
airstrikes.
We have started the final phase of
the operation in Tikrit, he said. You
will liberate your ground, not anyone
but you, he said, in a speech to the
Iraqi people.
Al-Abadi praised all the groups
involved in the battle against the
Islamic State group, including the socalled Popular Mobilization Forces,
which the U.S. calls Iranian-backed
militias, the Sunni tribes and coalition
forces. But he fell short of confirming
that the coalition is playing a direct
role in Tikrit.
U.S. airstrikes in Tikrit raise highly
sensitive questions about participating
in an Iraqi campaign that has been
spearheaded by Iraqi Shiite militias
trained and equipped by Iran, an avowed
U.S. adversary.
Iran has provided artillery and other
weaponry for the Tikrit battle, and senior Iranian advisers have helped Iraq
coordinate the offensive. Iraq pointedly
did not request U.S. air support when it
launched the offensive in early March.
Recently, the offensive has lost
momentum. Col. Steve Warren, a
Pentagon spokesman, said Wednesday
the Iraqi forces have encircled Tikrit but
not yet made significant inroads into
the heavily defended city limits.
They are stalled, he said.
The U.S. has hundreds of military
advisers in Iraq helping its security
forces plan operations against the

Islamic State, which occupies large
chunks of northern and western Iraq.
But the U.S. has said it is not coordinating any military actions with the
Iranians.
Warren said that at Baghdads request
the U.S. began aerial surveillance over
Tikrit in recent days and is sharing the
collected intelligence with the Iraqi
government.
The U.S.-led air campaign, launched
in August and joined by several
European allies, has allowed Iraqi
forces to halt the IS groups advance
and claw back some of the territory militants seized last summer.
But the growing Iranian presence on
the ground has complicated the mission, with Washington refusing to
work directly with a country it views as
a regional menace, yet is currently
embroiled with Iran in sensitive negotiations over a nuclear deal.
The prominent role of the Shiite
militias in the fight to retake Tikrit and
other parts of Iraqs Sunni heartland has
meanwhile raised concerns that the
offensive could deepen the countrys
sectarian divide and drive Sunnis into
the arms of the Islamic State group.
Ghani says his nation wont be lazy Uncle Joe

WASHINGTON Afghan President

Ashraf Ghani thanked Congress on
Wednesday for billions of American tax
dollars and vowed his war-wracked country will be self-reliant within this decade.
Were not going to be the lazy Uncle
Joe, he said.
In a speech to a joint meeting of
Congress, Ghani moved to mend U.S.Afghan relations that were frayed under
former President Hamid Karzai.
Lawmakers have been critical about the
lengthy U.S. troop presence in
Americas longest war, wasteful spending in Afghanistan and were stung by
Karzais anti-American rhetoric.
Ghani humbly thanked Congress for
the nearly $107 billion it has appropriated for Afghanistan so far. He paid homage to the 2,200 U.S. servicemen and women who lost their lives in the war
and the thousands more who were wounded, and thanked the U.S. aid workers who
built schools, wells and cured the sick.
At the end of the

day, it is the ordinary
Americans
whose
hard-earned
taxes
have over the years
built the partnership
that has led to our
conversation today,
he said to applause in
Ashraf Ghani the House chamber
packed with hundreds
of lawmakers, dignitaries and guests.
Ghani, wearing a gray western suit,
peppered his speech with anecdotes
about the time hes spent in America,
noting that he graduated from Columbia
University in New York and was in his
World Bank ofce in Washington when
the rst plane smashed into the World
Trade Center on 9/11.
Perhaps trying to shed his image as a
technocrat, Ghani recalled that he ate
corned beef at Katzs, New Yorks greatest, greasiest, pickle-lined melting pot.
He touched on themes he hoped would
convince lawmakers that he will be a
reliable U.S. partner. He admitted that

decades of war have resulted in high levels of fraud and graft in Afghanistan and
promised to eliminate corruption. Ghani
also voiced support for womens rights
and said he would emphasize law and justice and focus on self-reliance and economic development.
We dont want your charity. We have
no more interest in perpetuating a childish dependence than you have in being
saddled with a poor family member who
lacks the energy and drive to get out and
nd a job, Ghani said.
Thats a tall order for Afghanistan.
The national unity government that
Ghani runs with chief executive Abdullah
Abdullah has not yet seated a full cabinet, and some of the countrys 30-plus
provinces are still run by acting governors. The country recently had a $500
million budget shortfall and domestic
revenues missed targets by 26 percent,
forcing the U.S. to step in in recent
months to help cover the scal gap.

Boko Haram abducts hundreds of civilians

A Nigerien soldier checks a building while on

patrol in Duji, Nigeria. Niger seized control
from Boko Haram militants last month.
ABUJA, Nigeria Hundreds of civilians,

including many children, have been abducted
and are being used as human shields by Boko
Haram extremists, a top Nigerian official confirmed Wednesday.
The news of the mass kidnappings comes as
Nigeria prepares for crucial elections on
Saturday.
Several hundred people were taken captive by
the Islamic militants as they retreated earlier
this month from Damasak in northeastern
Nigeria, Mike Omeri, the Nigerian spokesman
for the fight against Boko Haram, told The
Associated Press Wednesday. He said he could
not specify how many were taken captive but
local reports say as many as 500 people were
seized.
When troops from Chad and Niger advanced
toward Damasak, Boko Haram began taking
captives, said Omeri, speaking in Nigerias
capital, Abuja.
Boko Haram ... rushed to primary schools
they took children and adults that they are

using as shields to protect themselves from the
menacing advance of troops, said Omeri.
They are being used as shields by Boko

Damasak, near the border with Niger, was
recaptured from Boko Haram on March 16. The
kidnappings of civilians has only been confirmed now.
The soldiers who recaptured Damasak found
the town largely deserted. Damasak had been
held for months by Boko Haram, who used the
trading town as an administrative center.
The troops from Chad and Niger who now

Airstrikes begin against Yemen rebels

By Ken Dilanian
WASHINGTON Saudi Arabia began

airstrikes Wednesday against Houthi rebel
positions in Yemen, vowing that the Sunni
kingdom will do anything necessary to
restore a deposed government that has been
routed by the Iranian-backed group.
In an unusual tableau, Saudi Arabias
ambassador to the United States announced
the rare military operation by his country at
a Washington news conference about a halfhour after the bombing began. The strikes
started at 7 p.m. EDT, he said.
Loud, house-shaking explosions could be
heard in the Yemen capital of Sanaa and fire
and smoke could be seen in the night sky,
according to an Associated Press correspondent whose home is near the military airbase in the capital.
The Houthis said in a statement to
reporters that Saudi jets are hitting the military base, known as al-Duleimi, in Sanaa.
They said they fired anti-aircraft missiles in
response.
Ambassador Adel al-Jubeir said his government had consulted closely with the U.S.
and other allies, but said the U.S. military

was not involved in the operations. Nine
other countries have joined the military
coalition, he said from a podium at the Saudi
embassy, but he declined to name them.
Having Yemen fail cannot be an option
for us or our coalition partners, he said.
He declined to say whether the Saudi campaign involved U.S. intelligence assistance, and a White House spokeswoman
referred questions to the Saudis.
The Saudi strikes were the latest in a series

to an al-Qaida affiliate that has been the target of repeated American drone strikes.
Driven weeks ago from the capital by the
Houthis, U.S.- and Saudi-backed Yemeni
President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi abandoned the country Wednesday, leaving on a
boat from the southern port of Aden, Yemeni
security officials said. His departure came
after Houthi air strikes rained down on his
troops, a sign that rebels held air superiority and that Hadis calls for an international
no-fly zone had been disregarded. On the
ground, the rebels were advancing toward
his position.
Al-Jubeir said the Saudi

airstrikes were designed
to prevent Yemen from
falling into the hands of
the Houthis, but the
reality is that the capital
and some of the countrys
main cities already have
fallen to the group, and
ground troops will be
Abed Hadi
required to take them
back. The ambassador said he didnt want to
discuss military details.
It was unacceptable, Al-Jubeir said, that a
militia, as he called the Houthis, should
have air power, along with ballistic missiles, heavy weapons as well as military
bases and ports.
Al-Jubeir recounted a series of diplomatic
efforts to dissuade the Houthi from continuing their offensive. But, he said, they have
always chosen the path of violence.
He says the Saudis will do anything necessary to protect the people of Yemen and
the legitimate government of Yemen.

Nigerias battle against the Islamic extremists is a major issue for the elections to be held
Saturday. The 6-year-old Islamic insurgency
has killed thousands, including an estimated
10,000 last year. Boko Haram has vowed to
violently disrupt the elections.
International assistance desperately is needed for the thousands of Nigerian refugees who
have fled the violence, the head of the U.N.
refugee agency said Wednesday as he visited a
camp in Cameroon.
Violence in Nigeria has forced more than
192,000 people to flee to the neighboring
countries of Cameroon, Chad and Niger. But the
U.N. refugee agency says the crisis hasnt
drawn sufficient international support, calling
it one of the most underfunded emergencies in
the world.
At Cameroons Minawao refugee camp, residents arent getting enough to eat or drink, and
there arent enough toilets or medical supplies,
Isaac Luka, a representative of the refugees,
said Wednesday.

France gets audio from jets
black box, but cause a mystery
SEYNE-LES-ALPES, France The last
communication from a doomed German jetliner was routine. The mangled black box
has yielded sounds and voices, the lead
investigator said Wednesday, but so far not
the slightest explanation why the plane
plunged into an Alpine mountainside,
killing all 150 on board.
Midway through a flight from Barcelona
to Duesseldorf on Tuesday, Germanwings
Flight 9525 was chilling in its normalcy.
The last communication was a routine
request to continue on its route, said Remi
Jouty, the head of the accident investigation
bureau, or BEA.
Then minutes later, at 10:30 a.m., the
Airbus A320 inexplicably began to descend.
Within 10 minutes it had plunged some
32,000 feet from its cruising altitude of
38, 000 feet, slamming into the remote
mountainside at an altitude just above 6,000
feet, Jouty said.

NEW YORK Investors dumped

high-flying technology and biotech
companies and sent the stock market
down for a third straight day
Wednesday.
Major indexes drifted lower in early
trading, following news that orders for
long-lasting U. S. goods sank last
month. The selling gathered strength
in the afternoon, with companies like
Avago Technologies and Skyworks
Solutions losing the most.
Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Avalon Partners, a New York
brokerage, said the markets fall was
driven by big investors selling some
of their winnings before the first quarter closes next week. The drop in factory orders also raised concerns that a
slowdown in economic activity could
continue.
A weak first quarter could spill into
the second quarter, Cardillo said, and
that probably leads to a poor earnings
season.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
lost 30.45 points, or 1.5 percent, to
2,061.05. The Dow Jones industrial
average fell 292.60 points, or 1.6 percent, to 17,718.54, while the Nasdaq
composite fell 118.21 points, or 2.4
percent, to 4,876.52.
It was the worst day for stocks since
March 10, when speculation over the
Federal Reserves plans to raise interest rates helped knock the S&P 500
down 1.7 percent.
Jack Ablin, chief investment officer
at BMO Private Bank, said he thinks
its going to be tough for the market to
sustain a strong run higher. Major
indexes still trade near record highs
reached at the start of the month, even
though analysts expect earnings to
shrink in the first half of the year. That
makes the typical stock look pricey.
Were going to have a difficult time
continuing to make new highs if the
underlying economy isnt following
the direction of the market, he said.
At some point were going to hit the
intersection of reality and expectations.
Before the market opened on
Wednesday, the Commerce Department
reported that orders to U.S. factories
for long-lasting manufactured goods
fell in February for the third time in
four months. Demand for commercial
aircraft, cars and machinery waned.
You can put this durables report into
your Surprise Index as it missed market
expectations, said Christopher
Rupkey, chief financial economist at
MUFG Union Bank, in a note to
clients. But more importantly it is

another piece of data that shows the
real GDP economy is running 2 percent
and not 3 percent.
Among companies making big
moves, H.J. Heinz and Kraft Foods
announced plans to merge in a deal that
would create one of the worlds largest
food companies. The merger was engineered by Heinzs owners, Warren
Buffetts Berkshire Hathaway and
Brazilian investment firm 3G Capital,
and still needs a nod from federal regulators and Kraft shareholders. Krafts
stock shot up $21.85, or 36 percent,
to $83.17.
Apollo Education Group turned in a
quarterly loss as enrollment fell at its
for-profit University of Phoenix. The
companys stock plunged $7.95, or 28
percent, to $20.04.
Major indexes closed with losses
across Europe. Germanys DAX
dropped 1.2 percent and Frances CAC
40 lost 1.3 percent. Britains FTSE

U.S. government bond prices fell,
pushing the yield on the 10-year

Heinz buys Kraft to build $28 billion food giant

NEW YORK Some of the most familiar

names in ketchup, pickles, cheese and hot
dogs are set to come under the same roof after
H.J. Heinz Co. announced plans Wednesday
to buy Kraft and create one of the worlds
largest food and beverage companies.
The deal would bring together an array of
longtime staples in American kitchens,
including Oscar Mayer lunchmeats, Jell-O
desserts, Miracle Whip spreads, Ore-Ida potatoes and Smart Ones diet foods.
The combination of the two companies
Mills and Kellogg have been slashing costs

or striking deals to update their products
offerings. The Heinz-Kraft deal is in many
ways just the latest example of that,
although Buffett noted that the two companies still have a strong base of customers.
I think the tastes Kraft and Heinz appeal
to are pretty enduring, he said in a telephone
call to the business news channel CNBC.
James Angel, an associate professor of

finance at Georgetown Universitys
McDonough School of Business, said that
will probably result in job losses.
As consumers increasingly migrate away

from popular packaged foods in favor of
options they consider less processed, companies including Campbell Soup, General
Still, the early plans outlined by Kraft and

Heinz executives in a conference call

that would be achieved through the deal,

said.

Missing four regular starters, Carlmont

baseball was stricken by a glut of defensive
miscues in Wednesdays Peninsula Athletic
League Bay Division matchup with Sequoia.
Despite committing four errors, however,
the new-look Scots still looked pretty good.
Carlmont (3-2 in PAL Bay, 8-4 overall)
countered its season-high error spree by
turning three double plays to soldier to a 61 home win over Sequoia. Junior shortstop
Tyler Brandenburg making his first varsity start at the position was integral to
turning all three twin killings.
Brandenburg was not the only Carlmont
player debuting at a new position. With the
Scots being struck by the injury bug, regular
corner outfielder Julian Billot was forced to
make his first varsity start in center. Also,
junior right-handed pitcher Spencer Stewart
the rotations No. 2 man and regular Friday
arm made his debut as a Wednesday starter.
Billot came up big with a leadoff home run
in the first inning to get the Scots on the
board. And Stewart worked five-plus innings
of two-hit ball to earn the win, improving
his record to 3-1.
Im really proud of our kids, Carlmont
manager Rich Vallero said. For other guys
to get an opportunity and to work their tail
off at practice and be ready when the opportunity came, and then to get out here in a
rival game against a great Sequoia program,
it makes you happy as a coach.
The Scots also benefitted from Sequoias
shaky defense. The Cherokees (2-1, 7-3)
also committed four errors, while their three
pitchers combined to issue seven walks, a
hit batsman and eight wild pitches.
We just made too many mistakes to beat a
good baseball team today, Sequoia manager
Corey Uhalde said.
One of Carlmonts defensive letdowns led
to a Sequoia run in the first inning. Stewart
got into an early jam, hitting Cherokees
leadoff man Matt Lopez with a pitch before
Mike Michelini singled and Antonio
Arellano walked to load the bases. Then Carlmont junior Tyler Brandenburg slides home with the final run of a 6-1 Scots victory over

PHOENIX Spice it up.

The NFLs dullest play, the extra point,
appears to be headed for some changes, perhaps significant ones, for the 2015 season.
While team owners didnt vote on any extrapoint proposals Wednesday, there was so much
discussion and interest in potential changes
that the issue will be a main focal point for the
next set of league meetings in May.
Theres a clear movement to wanting to
change and change it this year, said Rich
McKay, co-chairman of the competition
committee and president of the Falcons.
McKays committee will develop alternatives and be ready for a potential vote in
two months in San Francisco.
Among the possibilities are moving the
line of scrimmage back for PAT kicks; placing the ball on the 1 1/2-yard line for a 2point conversion; eliminating the PAT kicks
entirely, requiring teams to run a play from
scrimmage; and allowing the defense to
score, as in college football, if the ball is
turned over on a 2-point try.
McKay described the discussions as lively, with lots of ideas ... its time to make this
a football play.
A couple coaches said they favor just lining up on the 2 and going for the 2-point
play, he said. Or move the ball to the 1 12 for two points, or kick from the 15 for one,
your choice.
The league experimented with extra-point
kicks from a longer distance last preseason.
Currently, the line of scrimmage for both
an extra point and 2-point conversion try is
the 2-yard line.
Voted down as the meetings concluded was
Chicagos proposal that each team get a possession in overtime regardless of what happens on the first series.

Six teams with 10 or more losses reach Sweet 16

By Eric Olson
The NCAA Tournament has never had so

many teams with so many losses make it so
far.
Six of the regional semifinalists have 10
or more losses, including three with 13. The
reaction around college basketball has been
a collective shrug.
There simply are more opportunities to
lose nowadays.
Thats because teams are playing more
regular-season games
than ever, and top
programs are trying
to schedule mostly
high-caliber nonconference opponents
which can enhance
their resumes for
NCAA Tournament
selection and seeding.
There was a time years and years ago
where youd feel like if you had 20 wins
youd get in the tournament, North
Carolina State coach

Mike Gottfried said.
Now it comes down
to who you schedule.
You may lose some
games because youre
playing a difficult
nonconference
schedule. And then in
our league, its tough
night in and night out with 18 games in the
ACC.
Gottfrieds Wolfpack, Xavier and UCLA
all have 13 losses heading into this weeks

games. Michigan State and North Carolina
have 11 each and Oklahoma has 10.
The previous record for number of Sweet
16 teams with double-digit losses was five,
last year and in 1985 and 86, according to
STATS. The only other time there were even
two 13-loss teams was 2000.
The NCAA has allowed teams to play as
many as 31 regular-season games since
2006-07. Before that the maximum was 28.

Tulowitzki only hitch in Hudsons day

By Mike Cranston
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Troy Tulowitzki

hit his third home run of the spring, Eddie
Butler threw five effective innings in an
audition for a rotation spot, and the
Colorado Rockies beat the San Francisco
Giants 5-2 on Wednesday.
Giants starter Tim Hudson retired 10
straight before Corey Dickersons single.
Tulowitzki followed by crushing a firstpitch sinker onto the left-field berm in a
three-run fourth.
Tulowitzki went 2 for 3 and is hitting
.375 in his return from season-ending hip
surgery.
Hudson allowed three runs and six hits in
six innings. The 39-year-old right-hander
also doubled off the left field wall.
The 24-year-old Butler, who was 8 when
Hudson made his bigleague debut, allowed one

run and five hits and needed only 56 pitches against
San Franciscos likely
opening-day lineup.
Hudson threw 78 pitches.
It was a good work
day, he said. Hot day
Troy Tulowitzki out there and I had some
innings where I had to
work through some stuff. Overall, Im
pleased.
Hudsons double included what he called a
shabby slide into second.
About three steps past first, I was highly
regretting that decision, Hudson said of
going for two.
Hudson was stranded at second, and that
gave him the first test of baseballs new
2:25 clock between innings.

I think when I got out to

the mound, the clock was
like at 47 (seconds) and
I was out of breath. And I
hadnt made a pitch yet,
Hudson said. But from

PHOENIX Carlos Gomez led off the

game with a home run, had three RBIs and
made a sparkling catch in center field for the
Milwaukee Brewers in a 9-9 tie with the
Oakland Athletics on Wednesday.
Ryan Braun had three hits including an
RBI double, and Jonathan Lucroy and
Aramis Ramirez added run-scoring hits as
the Brewers rocked opening-day starter
Sonny Gray for eight hits and six runs in 2
2-3 innings.
After an 0-for-12 start, Braun has seven
hits in his last 13 at-bats (.538) to raise his
spring average to .280.
Gomez has three home runs this spring
and raised his average to .435 (10 for 23).
Luis Jimenez added a three-run homer in the
seventh for the Brewers, who had 17 hits.
He also made a leaping grab to take away
extra bases from Brett

Lawrie.

and three RBI for Oakland
including his first home
run of the spring and is

Grays spring ERA ballooned to 7.53 and
he left after walking the bases full in the
third.

down, Gray said. After some things didnt
go our way, I started leaving the ball up and

with two outs, Stewart looked on the verge
of escaping unscathed by inducing a groundball off the bat of Tommy Lopiparo, but
Carlmont committed its first error of the
game allowing Lopez to score.
However, it was the only run Sequoia
would generate on the afternoon.
The pitcher they threw today was one of
the better pitchers weve seen, Arellano
said. I dont think we came out with the
intensity that we usually do. I think were
just going to come out and get em next
time.
Billot turned the tide in the Scots favor in
a hurry when he launched a solo home run to
left-center to lead off the bottom of the first.
Billot said it was the first leadoff homer hes
ever hit in his life.
Its really important when I can set the
table for everybody, but my teammates back
me up, Billot said. As long as everybody
is doing their job, putting the ball in play,
we always pick each other up.
Thats precisely what the Scots did.
Brandenburg followed Billots bomb by
reaching on an infield error, then advanced
two bases on a pair of wild pitches. Then
with one out, Carlmont designated hitter
Ryan Callahan manufactured a groundball to
drive home Brandenburg with the go-ahead
run, staking the Scots to a 2-1 lead.
Carlmont kept Sequoia in check with a
pair of 4-6-3 double plays, one in the second inning and another in the fourth. Then
the Scots scored in each of their last three
at-bats.
In the fourth, Mike McGill opened
Carlmonts half of the frame by scorching a
double over the third-base bag. After
advancing on a sacrifice bunt by Connor
Loucks, McGill scored on a sacrifice fly by
Billot.

Nationals opener
with sprained knee
By Chuck King
JUPITER, Fla. Third baseman

Anthony Rendon may miss the
Washington Nationals opener against the
New York Mets on April 6 because of a
sprained left knee.
Rendon hasnt played since March 9.
When he was scratched
from the starting lineup
the following day, manager Matt Williams said
Rendon just needed a day
off. But the problem has
lingers, and Rendon
underwent a second MRI
Tuesday on his medial
collateral ligament.
Anthony
Right now it could be
Rendon
in jeopardy because he
just simply hasnt had baseball activity to
get ready, Williams said Wednesday of the
opener. Does that mean hes not ready for
opening day but ready four days later?
Potentially, but we just dont know at this
point.
Williams said Rendons knee has
improved but still is sore.
Everythings healing, its just not
going as fast as anybody had hoped,
Williams said. What I dont want is him
limping into a season and then continuing
to limp all year and being frustrated by that.
We need to get him better, and once hes
better we can go ahead and let it go and let
him play the way hes capable of playing.
Ian Stewart has been the primary third
baseman in his absence and began
Wednesday with a .323 average. Danny
Espinosa and Kevin Frandsen also have
seen time at third following the shift of
Ryan Zimmerman to first.
Smith, Stewart hit a would-be double-play
ball that turned into an infield error to load
the bases. McGill followed with a sacrifice
fly to score pinch runner Zac Miller. Loucks
then drew a walk to again load the bases,
allowing Alex Smith to score on a wild
pitch to give Carlmont a 5-1 lead.
In the top of the sixth, Stewart departed
after allowing a leadoff hit to Arellano.
Scots senior reliever Sean Yao yielded a oneout hit to Lopiparo to put runners at the corners. But Yao induced a groundball double
play off the bat of pinch hitter Liam Finn to
end the inning.
In the bottom of the sixth, Carlmont
tacked on its final run. Brandenburg drew a
leadoff walk then advanced all the way
around to score on three wild pitches.
Weve sort of been the victims of
innings that drag on a little bit too long,
Uhalde said. We need to mature as baseball
players in order to be the guy that puts out
the rally or picks a teammate up instead of
compounding the situation.
The Scots were without four returning AllPAL players Wednesday.
Ace right-hander Joe Pratt suffered a hamstring injury last Wednesday against

After first division title in Musselman

39 years, Dubs want more takes helm
ofWolf Pack
By Antonio Gonzalez
OAKLAND One goal down, still more

to go.
Thats the message the Golden State
Warriors are giving after winning the
Pacific Division for the first time in 39
years. Now theyre trying to secure the
Western Conferences No. 1 seed and homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs for
the first time since the defending champion
Warriors did it in the 1975-76 season.
We all know the main goal, but baby
steps, Warriors forward Draymond Green
said. You have to reach certain milestones
to get to the main goal, and this is one of
them.
After beating the short-handed Trail
Blazers 122-108 on Tuesday night in
Portland, players paraded around the visiting locker room with gold shirts that read:
Pacific Claimed. They posted photos of
the subdued celebration no champagne in
this one all over social media but never
let the party get out of hand.
It was a good celebration relative to our
accomplishment, Warriors coach Steve
Kerr said. But also with the idea that theres
more to come.
Assistant coach Alvin Gentry encouraged
the team to savor the achievement. The
longtime NBA coach reminded everybody
that historic accomplishments should never
be overlooked.
As Alvin said, If you havent done
something for 39 years, youd better celebrate it when you finally do, Kerr said.
Its a great moment for our franchise. It
kind of shows how far weve come the last
few years and all the work so many people
have put in.
Usain Bolt to run in New York

NEW YORK Usain Bolt will run in New

Warriors forward Draymond Green says the

team must take baby steps to reach its main
goal of winning a world championship.
Just three years ago, the Warriors had
made the playoffs only once since 1994.
Now theyre headed to the postseason for
the third consecutive year.
Golden State has gone from 47 wins to 51
wins under former coach Mark Jackson to
58 wins and counting under Kerr and
there are still 11 games left.
We cant rest on it, center Andrew Bogut
said.
The Warriors are set to shatter the franchise record of 59 wins set in 1975-76, the
year after they won their only champi-

where the Jamaican set his first world record
in the 100, running 9.72 on May 31.

Beijing Olympics. He lowered it yet again
to 9.58 seconds at the 2009 world champi-
Cubs pitcher winds up at

wrong park, misses start
By Ben Walker
Some pitchers have trouble

finding the plate. Edwin
Jackson of the Chicago Cubs
had a much bigger problem:
He couldnt find the ballpark.
Jackson missed his spring
training start Tuesday against
the As when he drove to the
wrong stadium. Fitting, too
he once walked eight batters in a no-hitter, and has
never been known for great
location.
Jackson took the blame for
this errant wind-up. The 31year-old veteran said he typed
Oakland Athletics spring
training complex into the
Google Maps app on his
phone and it directed him to
Phoenix Municipal Stadium.
Too bad for Jackson, he
didnt realize Oakland no
longer played there. Instead,
the As moved out after last
spring and now host games
about 5 miles away at
Hohokam Stadium.
It was my fault for not
looking to see where it was,
Jackson said.
Phoenix Muni, as the ballpark is called, is the current
base for the Arizona State Sun
Devils college team. So
J ack s o n
headed to
Hohokam,
which was

home. He
eventually
Edwin Jackson got to the
r i g h t
place, not that it helped him.
He entered the game in the
second inning and was tagged
for eight runs and nine hits in
only 1 2-3 innings of a 14-2
loss.
Jackson joins an evergrowing list of ballplayers to
get lost.
A few years ago, a couple
Cincinnati Reds went to
Yankee Stadium when their
game against the New York
Mets was really at Citi Field.
Roger Clemens once got
mixed up trying to find
Montreals spring stadium in
West Palm Beach, Florida.
And perhaps Braves pitcher
Pascual Perez faced the toughest jam. In 1982, after getting his drivers license earlier in the day, he famously
spent two hours on I-285 circling the city, unable to figure out how to exit to AtlantaFulton County Stadium.
onship in the Bay Area. They can match that

mark at Memphis on Friday and give themselves a chance to break it at Milwaukee on
Saturday.
Its a nice little checkpoint, and hopefully we can finish the season strong, the same
way weve been playing and keep our focus
about what were doing even though weve
wrapped up the division, said Warriors
point guard and MVP candidate Stephen
Curry. We want to wrap up that one seed and
just keep looking for the next goal.
Finishing with the leagues best record is
starting to feel more like a matter of when
not if it happens.
Golden State (58-13) began Wednesday
with an eight-game lead over the Grizzlies
(50-21) in the West. East-leading Atlanta
(53-17) was four back in the loss column.
The Warriors would also win the tiebreaker with the Hawks should they finish with
the same record. The teams split the regularseason series, so the tiebreaker would come
down to each teams record against the
others conference. The Warriors are 24-5
against the East and can finish no worse
than 24-6. Atlanta is 21-8 against the West.
Homecourt advantage would be huge for
the Warriors. Theyre a league-best 34-2 at
rowdy Oracle Arena, where sellout crowds
are rocking road teams nightly.
These Warriors also know how important
home court can be in the playoffs. They
were eliminated by the Los Angeles
Clippers in a decisive Game 7 at Staples
Center last year.
And while theyre relishing all these regular-season accolades right now, they know
what happens in April, May and June is
what matters most.
The goal is still the goal, Green said,
so the focus must remain the same.

Bolt says no one could ever forget their
first world record, and I will never forget the
crowd in New York that night.
Bolt also holds the world record in the
200 meters.
Organizers did not specify whether he
would run the 100 or 200 in New York.

RENO, Nev. Two-time NBA coach Eric

Musselman has been named the new head
coach at Nevada, the schools athletic director said Wednesday.
Musselman, 50, coached the Golden State
Warriors from 2002-04 and the Sacramento
Kings in 2006-07. He
spent the past season as
an assistant at LSU.
Athletic director Doug
Knuth said in a statement
that he intends to present
a proposed five-year contract with Musselman to
the state Board of
Eric Musselman Regents during a meeting
Thursday in Las Vegas.

Nevada spokesman Chad Hartley said a
news conference was planned on the Reno
campus Thursday afternoon following the
regents meeting.
Musselman interviewed for the California
job last year before the program hired
Cuonzo Martin.
Musselmans career record as a head coach
in the NBA is 566-340.
The Kings fired Musselman in April 2007
after a 33-49 season. Musselman was arrested on a drunken-driving charge after
Sacramentos first preseason game in
October 2006. He immediately issued a public apology, later pleaded no contest to the
charge and served a two-game suspension.
Musselman also led the Warriors to two
surprisingly successful seasons from 200204 as one of the games most impressive
young coaching minds. Golden State fired
him after the franchise missed the playoffs
for the 10th straight year in his second season at the helm.

Canadians take big lead in

pairs at figure skating worlds
Bendtners hat trick

carries Denmark 3-2
over U.S. in friendly
The pattern since last spring is

familiar: The United States does
well in the first half and fades as
the final whistle approaches.
Nicklas Bendtner took advantage of a defense that gave up two
more late goals to score his first
international hat trick, and
Denmark rallied to beat the United
States 3-2 in an exhibition game
at Aarhus on Wednesday night.
Its very disappointing because
its not the first time we let a game
get away from us in the last few
minutes, Michael Bradley said
after his first start as American
captain. Its something that
weve got to start to learn from.
Jozy Altidore scored in the first
half and set up former club teammate Aron Johannssons goal in
the second.
But Bendtner tied the score for
the hosts in the 83rd minute and
got the winner in the first minute
of stoppage time. Christian
Eriksen looped a ball over the
defense and Bendtner ran onto it,
took a touch and beat goalkeeper
Nick Rimando from about 15 yards
for his 29th goal in 65 international appearances.
Altidore was frustrated the No.
32 Americans gave a game away
like that.
The goals we gave up were just
soft, he said. Were not hard
enough to play against.

drop in the order to help the team.
According
to
Ynostroza,
Zucchiatti almost produced the
most dramatic win of the year for
the Vikings last Thursday against
Mercy-Burlingame. Mills lost the
nonleague thriller 9-8, but had a
chance to win it in the bottom of
the seventh.
Zucchiatti came to the plate with
two on and two out and hit a frozen
rope down the right-field line; and
only a tremendous defensive effort
to end the game preserved the win
for Mercy, according to Ynostroza.
She got robbed, he said. She
would have had the game-winning
hit but the girl in right field made a
fantastic catch.
In addition to her hitting
exploits, Zucchiatti also serves as
Mills catcher. And she handled a
temperamental pitching staff that
issued five walks Wednesday.
Cisneros totaled 5 1/3 innings on
the day to earn the win, improving
her record to 5-3. Stanley pitched
two-thirds of an inning in relief.
Mills freshman Makana Pember
also tabbed a two-hit game while
playing flawless defense at the hot
corner.
For San Mateo (1-2, 4-7), Nikki
Chiu, Breana Picchi and Julise
Roman had two hits apiece while
Bearcats cleanup hitter Raisa
Magro was 1 for 4 with three RBIs.
We just didnt play as well as we
usually do, San Mateo head coach
Randy Boardman said. Its an
aberration, I hope.

NCAA
With conference tournaments,
some teams now play 34 or 35
games
before
the
NCAA
Tournament. As of this week, 58
teams had played at least 35
games. A decade ago, only 13
teams played that many.
Other factors, ESPN analyst Jay
Bilas said, are that high major
teams are beating each other up in
conference play, and premier programs are sought out for made-forTV nonconference games.
Beating a heavyweight can help
a lot, and losing to one might
only hurt a little in the eyes of the
NCAA selection committee.
N.C. State (22-13), which plays
Louisville (26-8) in Syracuse, New
York, on Friday, used strong nonconference schedules to get off the
NCAA bubble in 2012 and 2014.
This season the Wolfpack played
tournament teams Boise State,
Wofford, Cincinnati and Purdue
before losing twice to Virginia,
splitting meetings with North
Carolina and beating Duke and
Louisville in ACC play.
Xavier (23-13), which plays
Arizona (33-3) in Los Angeles on
Thursday, lost nine games in the
Big East. That conference sent six
teams to the NCAA Tournament,
and Xavier is the only one still
standing.
I think its great that the Big

East has been able to test us with
some really tough teams, center
Matt Stainbrook said, and I think
the fact that weve grown as a team
together has made us really special
at this point.
UCLA (22-13), which plays
Gonzaga (34-2) in Houston on
Saturday, might be the most
charmed of the 13-loss teams. The
Bruins won their tournament
opener over SMU thanks to a 3point goaltending call on the final
play, and in their second game
they drew a 14th-seeded UAB team
coming off an upset of Iowa State.
A No. 14 hasnt won more than
one game in the tournament since
1997.
Double-digit loss teams meet in
Syracuse
on
Friday
when
Michigan State (25-11) takes on
Oklahoma (24-10). The Spartans
lost to heavyweights Duke,
Kansas and Notre Dame before
they were beaten six times in the
Big Ten. Oklahoma wouldnt have
10 losses if it werent for, as Bilas
said, slipping on banana peels
against
Creighton
and
Washington.
As for North Carolina (26-11),
which plays Wisconsin (33-3) in
Los Angeles on Thursday, theres
no shame in what it did against the
nations second-toughest schedule.
They played Kentucky, they
played Virginia twice, they played
Duke twice, they played Notre
Dame twice. Thats why they have
11 losses, Bilas said. Its not
because they (stink).
NFL
Now, if the side receiving the OT kickoff
scores a touchdown, the game ends. If it kicks
a field goal, the opponent gets a possession.
Unsportsmanlike penalties handed out at the
end of a half now will carry over, either to the
second half or to overtime.
Lining up players with eligible numbers at
ineligible positions, as New England did
against Baltimore in the playoffs, now has
more specific guidelines. Those players must
line up inside the tackle box.
The owners also approved teams with
retractable domes being allowed to open them
at halftime, weather permitting, and allowing
linebackers to wear numbers from 40-49; pre-

Commissioner Roger Goodell spoke briefly
about two high-profile personal conduct cases
in which both players, Greg Hardy and Adrian
Peterson, remain on the exempt list.
Goodell said the league continues to
review Hardys case to determine if discipline is warranted. Hardy signed earlier this
month with Dallas.
Goodell said the date for Adrian Petersons
suspension to end remains April 15. The
Vikings running back had the ban overturned
by appeal, a decision the NFL now is appealing itself.
The NFL is not focused necessarily on having a team or teams back in Los Angeles in
2016, but it is a hot topic. Goodell noted the
league wants to succeed long term in L.A., so
right now the focus is on the process and also
understanding what it takes to be successful in
the L.A. market.

SUBURBAN LIVING
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Parents seeking urban

lifestyles for their kids
Phuong Le
SEATTLE A small but growing number of parents are

bucking a trend when it comes to raising their kids: Rather
than move to suburbs as their parents once did, many are
opting to stay in or near downtown.
Some do it to seek an urban lifestyle, shorten commutes
or be within proximity to restaurants, museums and other
attractions.
Along the way, theyre pushing cities to be more welcoming to families. Parents in cities across the country,
including Seattle, Minneapolis and Denver, are banding
together to advocate for new downtown schools, more
playgrounds and more affordable family-friendly housing.
The benefit of living in the city so far outweighed what
we would get by moving out to the suburbs, said Jenny
Kelly, 32, a marketing consultant who helped form a parents group in 2013, now called Parents for a Better
Downtown Seattle.
She and her husband Michael moved downtown in their
20s and stayed when they had 2-year-old Elea. Both walk to
work from their loft apartment in Pioneer Square, where the
laundry room doubles as the toddlers bedroom.
Kelly and other parents recently pushed for a public
school downtown, and they lobbied to include a playground
in a redesign of the citys waterfront.
Seattle offers developers near downtown the chance to
build taller if they provide space for a school, though no
one has taken up the offer.
Some cities are trying to respond to families, albeit slowly. Portland revised building codes to allow courtyard housing, considered an amenity for families. And Baltimore
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake has pledged to grow her
city by 10,000 families.
Families with children are indicator species about the
health of an urban neighborhood, said Gary Johnson,
Seattles city center coordinator.
For decades, Seattle has had a well-earned reputation as a
childless city. In the 1960s and 70s, as more families
moved to the suburbs, their numbers in the city dropped.
Children still make up a much smaller percentage of
Seattles population, compared with the rest of the state or
the U.S, but recent trends suggest Seattle is doing a better
job of holding onto those kids, according to Sightline
More young parents are choosing to raise their children in

urban environments instead of moving to the suburbs.
Institute, a Seattle-based think tank.
The city is growing its share of kids under 15 at a time
when that percentage is declining elsewhere.
We seem to be closing the child gap, said Eric De Place,
the groups policy director.
Between 2007 and 2012, the number of downtown kids
enrolled in kindergarten to eighth grade jumped nearly 30
percent, according to the Downtown Seattle Association, a
business group that has worked to get more families downtown.
Parents used to stay until their kids reached age 5 and half
would leave downtown, said Jon Scholes, the associations
CEO who is raising 5-year-old twins downtown. But hes
starting to see parents staying longer than before.

Animal shelters let kids cozy up to pets at summer camps

By Sue Manning
LOS ANGELES Children who love to

dance, act or play sports have summer camps
specialized just for them. But many parents
dont realize that kids who are passionate
about pets can have the same immersive experience.
Thousands of youngsters ages 6 to 17 will
attend day camps this summer at hundreds of
animal shelters across the country. The urge to
nurture animals starts early especially with
pets becoming key parts of families giving
rise to the popularity of programs that offer
budding veterinarians and other young animal
lovers a way to help dogs and cats and learn the
responsibilities of owning pets.
This is absolutely one of the fastest growing programs at the shelter, said Christen
Benson, executive director of the Humane
Society of Sarasota County, about 50 miles
south of Tampa, Florida.
But, she said, the first question from parents
often is: What are they going to do, clean the
kennels?
These camps arent about getting free volunteers in to scrub cages, said Michelle
Ramos, director of education for the Arizona
Animal Welfare League & SPCA in Phoenix.
They are designed to introduce children to
animals and show them how the creatures fit
into their world, Ramos said. Campers learn to
feed, exercise, wash, train and care for dogs and
cats. In some camps, older youths can watch a
surgery, help with minor stitches and monitor
an animal patient to test out careers in the
field.
Caroline Golon of Columbus, Ohio, is
building a national database of camps on
crayonsandcollars.com, her national blog for
pets and kids. So far, shes found over 250
shelters with camp offerings.
Many parents dont know its an option for
their animal-loving kids, and some of the
shelters have truly incredible programs,
Golon said.
Sisters Taryn and Kayla Alessandrino, 23
and 26, respectively, went to camp in Phoenix
over a decade ago when the programs were just
getting started. Taryn Alessandrino has since
gotten her veterinary technician license and
returns to the shelter each summer to help with
classes. Kayla Alessandrino is in her last year
Animal shelters across the country offer summer camp programs which allow kids to learn more about animals. Campers learn to feed,
exercise, train and care for dogs, cats and other creatures.
of veterinary school in Scotland, and her sister
awaits the day they can set up a practice.
I thought I wanted to be a vet, too, Taryn
Alessandrino said. One day, we got to go in
where they were doing spay and neuter surgeries, and I instantly realized that was not something I could do.
She enjoys taking temperatures, measuring
heart rates or giving shots, so she became a
vet tech.
Since I was able to walk, I wanted to be
around animals. They are great, so calming and
can cheer you up if you are having a bad day.
Gardening with
air, water and
fish fertilizer
By Dean Fosdick
Who needs soil to sow a sustainable garden? You can cultivate plants in mid-air, float them in mineral-enriched
water or add nutrients for an organic harvest by using your
own fish for the fertilizer.
All of these methods can be done indoors and year-round.
Hydroponics may be the most familiar soil-less gardening technology. It involves growing plants by floating

They are therapeutic, said Alessandrino, who

has five cats, three dogs, a leopard gecko and a
bearded dragon at home.
At the Arizona Animal Welfare League &
SPCA, campers get to meet exotic animals at
the shelters sanctuary. Guapo, a 5-foot iguana, is the most popular, Ramos said.
Some older participants can watch animal
surgeries and even help in some minor procedures.
More than 700 kids went through the
Phoenix camps last summer, and more are
expected this year. Most camps last five days,
and prices range from $125 for half-days to

$325 for full days.
In Florida, the Humane Society of Sarasota
County launched its camp three years ago to
give children ages 7 to 12 a chance to bond
with animals, play animal-themed games,
make animal-themed crafts and hear from
speakers.
When camps start, about half the kids have
pets at home, said Benson of the shelter. When
its over, about two-thirds of the participants
own animals, because their families have
adopted furry friends.

SCHOOL
believed it is in the best interest of both
schools.
Its nice when things come together, he
said. Its a space that will be applicable for
the needs of d.tech, and I believe Mills will
enjoy some growth naturally and free up
some space for them as we grow in enrollment.
Board of Trustees President Marc Friedman
echoed those sentiments.
I think this is an excellent resolution,
he said. This is an excellent facility that
will serve d.tech well.
The location on Rollins Road is currently
home to the Career Technical Education program offered by the Office of Education.
D.tech will fill five classrooms, 1,500
square feet of administrative space and share
additional facilities with the programs
already in place at the facility in
Burlingame, according to a district report.
Laurence said throughout the search
process, the site on Rollins Road has
always been the districts preferred destination.
Friedman noted the campus is centrally
located in relation to the rest of the district.
Its convenient for driving and its near
BART, he said, Its a great location.
The decision to relocate d.tech will not be
finalized until school officials sign the
agreement, which is contingent on
approval by the Board of Trustees.
Laurence said he has communicated with
d.tech director Ken Montgomery throughout the process of attempting to find the
school a long-term home, and said he was
hopeful the school would agree to the resolution.
SUBURBAN LIVING
Its a matter of coming to crossing the
finish line, he said. We would hope this
would be a good resolution for them.
Friedman said he expected the board to
unanimously approve the agreement during
the meeting.
The district had considered offering the
charter high school space on the San Mateo
Adult School campus in San Mateo, or on
the former Crestmoor High School in San
Bruno, while searching for possible destinations.
Many members of the community at Mills
High School had expressed concern about
the impact that d.tech was having on the
high school. The charter school has been
growing by a class size each ear, and anticipates being at full capacity next year.
Laurence had said finding a home for
d.tech was one of the toughest challenges
he faced during his time at the head of the
district.
Looking beyond the second year of the
agreement with the Office of Education,
Friedman said he expects d.tech will look to
find another permanent location.
According to a district report, d.tech has
also considered relocating to space on the
Oracle campus located in Redwood Shores.
But for the time being, Laurence
expressed appreciation to the county Office
of Education for helping the district find an
agreement.
The county has allowed us to come to the
resolution, he said.
The district will meet at its board meeting
Thursday. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m.

their roots in chemically enhanced water.
The operation can be automated with a
timer. Some systems are portable.
Aquaponics blends aquaculture (feeding
fish in tanks) with hydroponics. Water
heavy in organic animal waste is pumped
from a fish tank into grow beds where plants
filter out the nutrients. The purified water is
then recycled back into the fish tank, where
the nitrate-production sequence is renewed.
Aeroponics uses no growing medium.
Instead, plants are strung over containers
and their roots are misted with a nutrientheavy solution.
The technology that is accelerating this
(soil-less) trend is the proliferation of
extremely effective and increasingly energy-efficient grow lights, said Sylvia
Bernstein, owner of The Aquaponic Source
in Longmont, Colorado.
With todays grow lights, any space can
become a year-round garden. Ive worked
with people who are growing in basements,
garages, laundry rooms, warehouses and
classrooms, she said.
The systems are easy to learn and to maintain, Bernstein said.
First, there is no weeding involved. And
PARENTS
Schools, parks and other amenities matter,
he said.
In Minneapolis, Melissa and Aaron
Whitney downsized from a 2,700-square
foot five-bedroom home in the suburb to an
apartment half that size in downtown.
We drank the Kool-Aid. We thought once
we got married, we had to buy a house in the
suburb, said Aaron Whitney, 40, a technology consultant.
They quickly realized they didnt want to
spend their time on home repairs or yard
work and already spent so much leisure time
downtown that they moved back with their
son, who is now 2.
The couple said they wouldnt mind more
green spaces and affordable housing in the
city. A new school opens up in downtown
this fall, and theyre watching its progress
to decide where theyll enroll their son.
Bradley Calvert, 33, who moved from
Atlanta to Seattle with his wife and toddler
last year, joined other parents in pushing
for a downtown public school. The district
last month lost a bid on a vacant federal
building downtown.
THE DAILY JOURNAL

because you can set your grow beds at whatever height works best for you, stooping
and bending can also be minimized, she
said.
Watering also is easier, especially with
aquaponics. You simply top off your tanks
once every week to 10 days, versus the nearly daily watering that an outdoor garden
requires, Bernstein said.
Hydroponics is an uncomplicated way to
raise vegetables, said Richard Tyson,
Orange County (Florida) Extension director.
The floating system is one of the most
inexpensive, low-tech systems around, and
as long as you stick with leafy salad crops
and herbs, it is one of the best for beginners, Tyson said.
As for aeroponic gardens, they need little
space, making them popular with apartment
dwellers. Their moist environment is vulnerable to bacteria growth and disease,
though, so they must be kept clean.
Nearly any freshwater fish that thrives in
captivity can be used for aquaponic gardening, from goldfish to catfish, trout to crayfish. The fish can be purchased from
licensed hatcheries, while aquaponic,
hydroponic and aeroponic kits are available
at specialized supply stores and online.
The best fish to grow in aquaponics are
the fish that best suit your needs, whether
those be for food or fun or both, and that are
conducive to growing the plants you are
interested in growing, Bernstein said.
He said a downtown school and more
affordable housing will be keys to keeping
families in the urban core. A city benefits
when theres a diverse mix of people downtown, said Calvert. Attracting families, not
just young professionals or empty-nesters,
creates a sense of community.
Lindsey Carillo, 31, grew up in a suburb
of Detroit but wanted to expose her kids to
city living. It gives them a different way of
living, said the mother of two kids, who
are 8 and 1. I want my kids to have a cultured experience growing up.
Her family of four shares a two-bedroom
high-rise apartment in downtown Seattle.
Occasionally, her son wishes he had a backyard and could walk to school, but he loves
to show off where we live as well, she said.
Paul Hughes and his wife Heidi didnt want
to give up on urban living when they had a
son.
The couple likes that their second-grader
son, Silas, is exposed to more experiences
in the city. They would like the city to do
more, including adding playgrounds and a
school. And they wouldnt mind having
more playmates for their son in their building, either.
Its nowhere near as challenging as people think it is, Hughes said. The more
people see it working, the more they think
its possible.

PARK
Im appreciating the magnitude of the
challenge that you have with this. Youve
got a long line of folks that would like to do
different things with this space and you
only have so much space to work with,
Planning Commissioner Chris Massey said
to city staff. However, I think theres a case
for honoring the existing uses and I would
just urge you to consider that in the overall
context.
Whats there and whats proposed

Currently, the 16-acre park boasts a playground, community center, baseball field
with bleachers, six lighted tennis courts and
historical attributes like a 1-acre Japanese
Tea Garden, rose garden and the Kohl
Pumphouse.
The historical features along with numerous heritage trees will not be altered, however three conceptual maps proposed by
consultants show tearing down the current
aging recreation center and doing away with
the tennis courts.
Only one map proposes rebuilding a new
20,000-square-foot recreation center and
after a petition to keep the tennis courts garnered more than 700 signatures, the citys
consultants released a fourth map Tuesday
showing two new tennis courts just south of
the playground along El Camino Real.
The planning commissioners were supportive of a recreation center to provide
space for the senior-serving group so long
as a new building didnt detract from the

park, but stopped short of insisting new
tennis courts are included in the update. In
general, the commissioners leaned toward
park designs that promoted open space and
enhancing the connection from the parks
San Mateo Drive entrance along Fifth
Avenue, where the current parking structure
and tennis courts are.
The three conceptual designs include the
Community Center Option, which would
construct a new recreation center and plaza
where the courts are now on Fifth Avenue;
the Enhanced Open Space Option, which
includes creating permanent food kiosks
and a large paved plaza used to host events;
and the Community Gathering Option,
which proposes tearing down the ball field
to create a lawn as well as a paved open-air
plaza with trellis-covered seating that could
host events or farmers markets with vendors.
Sheila Canzian, director of the Parks and
Recreation Department, urged the community to stay involved in the development of
the master plan and noted each user group
whether it be dog owners seeking space for
their pets, tennis coaches, or little league
players is passionate about wanting
facilities.
I think what weve learned over many
years of park planning, there are no right or
wrong answers, its simply a matter of tradeoffs. Theres certainly no value judgment
when choosing to include one type of park
amenity over another, Canzian said.
When we think about amenities and where
they can best be located, I think we need to
look at our larger park system and where
[we] can fill the gaps.
CARE
people are, said Wong, who has worked at the clinic in
North Fair Oaks for 11 years.
The agency has also started a new initiative called Ready
Clinics and a food pharmacy to treat patients with chronic
conditions such as diabetes. The agency will create specialized diets, provide nutritional counseling and even provide
patients with food packets.
Most of the clinics patients speak Spanish and so to do a
lot of its volunteers. Translation services are always available.
The clinic makes appointments like a private office so
there are never any long lines of people waiting for care,
Wong said.
We want to make sure our patients feel respected and
leave with smiles on their faces, Charlow said.
Petersen first started at the clinic as a volunteer and has
been its director of operations for 12 years now. She has
seen firsthand the difference the clinic has made for its
patients.
One woman came into the clinic who had no teeth at all
A place for seniors

Numerous people spoke in favor of creating a new recreation center or maintaining
space for Self-Help for the Elderly, a nonprofit thats rented space at the park since
1992 to provide meals, exercise classes,
Medicare guidance and more.
As many seniors do not drive or have limited access to transit, Self-Help advocates
contend the downtown locale is key to providing services.
Moving the senior center from Central
Park is a disadvantage to older adults and
people that are disabled in San Mateo
County, said Christina Kahn, a Health
Insurance Counseling and Advocacy
Program manager.
Recreational amenities
Many spoke in favor of keeping the tennis courts and ball field at the park citing
the growing difficulty to secure space for
sports as new housing and office developments rise throughout the Bay Area.
San Mateo needs to do more for the youth
of our community. Almost any parent in our
city, especially parents of tweens and teens
will tell you the youth of our community
need more options close by and especially
safe and healthy options available into the
evenings, said resident Christine Stiles.
Keeping it green and open

Commissioners and members of the public urged that open space be given utmost
priority.
The council previously instructed staff to
maintain at minimum the same level of
parking and the proposals include an under-
and couldnt find work, Petersen said.

She had resorted to filing down some fake fingernails and
supergluing them to her gums, Petersen said.
It took the clinic about a year to treat her infection, she
said.
Petersen remembers the woman taking a picture after getting some new dentures with a big smile on her face standing next to her son.
She was smiling not only because her teeth were fixed but
because she also got a job, Petersen said.
Samaritan House gets 21 percent of its funding from the
county and cities. Another 8 percent of its funding comes
from the Sequoia and Peninsula health care districts.
Most of its funding comes from foundations and private
donors, Charlow said.
Its biggest fundraiser Main Event 2015 will be April 18
in Foster City. The Knock Out Hunger with Samaritan
House at Crowne Plaza has room for 400 attendees.

I dont like the idea that were taking
valuable, precious open space within the
park and turning it into a parking lot when
theres an obvious need for other park-type
activities that that space could be used for,
Planning Commissioner Diane Whitaker
said.
Members of the public agreed, with some
adding they disapproved of overpaving the
park.
Theres too much emphasis on getting
people to drive to the park as a destination
instead of serving people that live near the
park, said resident Bill Williams. A park
is a refuge from the commercial industry.
And to build a giant plaza with food carts is
just all wrong.
Commission Chair Charlie Dreschler
urged the public and city staff to remember
the park can only hold so much and prioritizing greenery and open space is key.
Development is occurring around
[Central Park] and if we want to mimic
development by putting more into this
space, were going to end up with less open
space, Dreschler said. We need to I think
slow our roll, really slow ourselves down
and take a look at the wish list and say I
cant fit everything I want in the picture, so
what are truly the most important parts?

Bill would revamp Medicare doctor fees

WASHINGTON President Barack Obama

said Wednesday hes ready to sign good, bipartisan legislation protecting physicians from
steep cuts in Medicare reimbursements and bolstering health programs for children and the
poor as Senate Democrats seemed to soften their
opposition to the package.
Obamas remark, made a day before the House
is expected to approve the $214 billion measure, seemed to bolster the measures prospects
in the Senate, where Minority Leader Harry Reid
DUI
license reinstated unless they agree to
install the ignition interlock device for a
period of time related to their number of
offenses a law currently implemented
under pilot programs in Alameda, Los
Angeles, Sacramento and Tulare counties
that are set to expire at the end of the year.
About 24 other states have similar laws
that Hill said he hopes will address the fact
that drunk drivers kill nearly 1,000 and
injure more than 20,000 Californians every
year.
Unsatisfied with the DMVs January
report requesting further legislation the
issue be stayed until a comprehensive study
is released likely in the fall, Hill agreed during a committee hearing Tuesday to amend
the bill to simply extend the four-county
pilot program another 18 months.
Hill said he remains confident the issue
will be thoughtfully addressed, particularly
as state Sen. Loni Hancock, D-Berkeley,
chair of the Senates Committee on Public
Safety, expressed support.
As soon as the results of the study are
and others had complained about abortion curbs

and other provisions.
The bill is a scarce Capitol Hill commodity: a
bipartisan compromise between House Speaker
John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Minority Leader
Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. It would replace an 18year-old law that has perennially prompted
Congress to block deep cuts in doctors
Medicare payments, reductions physicians
have threatened could make them stop treating
the programs elderly recipients.

ready to sign a good bipartisan bill, the president said at a White House event marking the
five-year anniversary of his signing his health
care overhaul.
The White House later issued a statement supporting the House bill, saying it would promote
better care, smarter spending and healthier
people.
As we speak, Congress is working to fix the
Obama spoke with Congress planning to

leave town for a two-week recess by weeks end.
Without congressional action, Medicare physi-
released, she wants to hold a hearing on the

entire issue of DUIs and in that, we could
learn where and how this bill could be
improved and then move it forward even
possibly this year, Hill said.
Hills opponents argue the preliminary
study released by the DMV shows the pilot
program was ineffective and prefer more
attention be paid to cracking down on
repeat offenders who rarely install the ignition devices instead of imposing it on those
who receive their first DUI.
If we cant even enforce the mandate for
high [blood alcohol content] and repeat
offenders, the most dangerous drivers, then
the last thing we need to do is expand the
mandate to all offenders, thus ensuring that
its more difficult to ensure people are complying and in effect, dilute efforts to get
[hard-core] DUI offenders of the road, said
Sarah Longwell, managing director of
American Beverage Institute.
Yet some estimates say first-time DUI
offenders drive drunk dozens of times before
getting caught and Hill was appalled by the
lobbyist groups argument.
Does that mean if its your first offense
its OK to drive drunk? Is that what theyre
saying in that message? They should be
ashamed of themselves, Hill said.
Hill argues a major portion of DUI offenders are driving illegally as it can be timely
and costly to reinstate a license after conviction. Instead, his initial proposal would
incentivize people to install the ignition
devices so as to be able to have their license
reinstated earlier. The devices would have
been required for six months for first offenders, a year for the second offense, two years
for a third and three years for a fourth
offense and beyond.
The DMVs initial report found instillation rates among all DUI offenders increased
dramatically in the four counties from 2.1
percent prior to the pilot to 42.4 percent
during the pilot period. However, the report
determined no evidence was found to suggest the program reduced the number of convictions.
Instead, the report argues more analysis
needs to be done to determine if the pilot
program and interlock devices result in specific deterrence a factor Hills office
argues is key. According to Hills office, its
important the DMV determine if the installation of vehicle breathalyzers deter people
from reoffending.
Longwell argues the preliminary report is
telling and Hills proposal doesnt address
the need for increased enforcement to get
cians face a 21 percent cut in fees on April 1,

though the federal agency that processes the
checks could delay the impact of those reductions for two weeks.
For two years, the Medicare measure would
continue higher funding for a pair of programs
coveted by both parties but especially
Democrats: The Childrens Health Insurance
Program, which serves around 8 million lowincome children, and the nations 1,300 community health centers, which serve poor families.
the most dangerous offenders off the road.
Were doing such a poor job right now
ensuring these hard-core drunk drivers dont
get behind the wheel, Longwell said.
There are so often people whove racked up
three or four or multiple DUIs or theyre at
these extremely high intoxication levels. If
we were to get more resources, the first
thing we shouldnt do is go after the marginal offenders, what we should do is go
after [the hard-core offenders] out there
killing people.
Despite having opposing viewpoints on
Senate Bill 61, Longwell and Hill agreed on
one thing: more must be done to prevent the
loss of lives at the hands of drunk drivers.
Its an important issue to me. For one, I
lost my best friend, and if I had a brother he
would have been it, 30 years ago to a drunk
driver, and secondly I realized we lose 1,000
people a year in California to drunk drivers, Hill said. If that doesnt tell you
theres something wrong with our system
and it needs reform and strengthening, then
nothing does.
