Lightness brought to a critical issue
Bay Area burlesque theater group uses levity to support Planned Parenthood
By Anna Schuessler
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
When circus and variety performer Scarlet
Conte rst heard about a burlesque show
beneting Planned Parenthood, she was
intrigued.
She was living in Austin, Texas, where
fellow burlesque performer Ginger Snaps
was organizing a burlesque show to stand up
to Texas legislation holding clinics provid-
ing abortions to a heavy set of safety stan-
dards many couldnt meet.
Conte had already gotten her start in par-
ticipating in burlesque shows to raise funds
and awareness for social issues, having
helped coordinate an anti-war show in
response to the Iraq war years before, but
something about Snaps approach to sup-
porting Planned Parenthood resonated with
her.
On March 3, Conte will lead a similar
charge in the Bay Area for the second time,
raising funds for Planned Parenthood Mar
Monte with a theatrical burlesque variety
show called Legislate This! South Bay.
Together with co-producer DeeDee Queen,
the two are bringing members of their South
Bay-based theatrical burlesque group
Curtains Cabaret to the stage to ght for
accessible health care, womens health
issues and reproductive health at a time
when they feel these issues are being jeop-
ardized.
For Conte, who prefers to go by her stage
name, the nancial and social support
Legislate This! South Bay will generate for
Planned Parenthood is critical.

Planned Parenthood is very much under

Its anybodys guess how much fed funding
they will receive.
Queen, who also goes by Kaila Prins, said
the provocative theatrical genre, which
often pokes fun at reality, has great poten-
tial for raising awareness of important
health and wellness issues, especially at a
time when many are worried about how they
can access them.
Right now, the world is really scary and

The term 'sanctuary campus' is

The California Highway Patrol
closed a portion of southbound

Pedestrian dies after
being hit in San Bruno
A person died in San Bruno after
a car struck them as they were
crossing the street, police said.
The incident occurred at about 8
p.m., Saturday, Feb. 18, in the
1100 block of El Camino Real,
according to police.
Upon arrival, officers found the
pedestrian lying in the roadway,
on El Camino Real just south of
Commodore Drive, across from
from seven predominantly
Muslim countries.
SSN member Emma Hartung
said that while she was happy
with Tessier-Lavigne for reaffirm-
ing shared values, she was really
hoping for more concrete
actions.
Essentially, I think the presi-
dent didn't express willingness to
commit to specific further action,
and we're really pushing for the
university to be a leader in the
campus movement to adopt sanc-

and anyone employed, Hartung

Two dams show challenge of maintaining older designs
By Michael R. Blood
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES Twelve years ago,
widespread destruction from Hurricane
Katrina on the Gulf Coast helped compel
federal engineers 2, 000 miles away in
California to remake a 1950s-era dam by
constructing a massive steel-and-concrete
gutter that would manage surging waters in
times of torrential storms.
The nearly $1 billion auxiliary spillway
at Folsom Dam, scheduled to be completed
later this year, stands in contrast to the
troubles 75 miles away at the state-run
Oroville Dam, where thousands of people
ed last week after an eroded spillway
threatened to collapse a catastrophe that
could have sent a 30-foot wall of oodwater
gushing into three counties.
Together, the two dams illustrate widely
diverging conditions at the more than

After years of drought, Northern
Flood fears renewed as another big storm system aims for California
By Olga R. Rodriguez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO The first outer rain
bands from a powerful Pacific storm head-
ed to Northern California on Sunday
brought light rain and wind and renewed
warnings of possible flooding in the
already soggy region.
The San Joaquin River at a measuring
station near Vernalis remained at danger
stage, meaning it keeps approaching the
top of levees, said Tim Daly, a spokesman
with San Joaquin County Office of
Emergency Services.
When the water gets that high and more
water is coming, there is just too much
pressure and levees can break. They can be
topped, Daly said.
Daly says residents of low-lying areas
have been told to be ready to evacuate,
especially those in San Joaquin River
Club, a riverside, private neighborhood of
800 people 10 miles south of Tracy.
Residents of the community have been
constantly patrolling the levees for signs
of danger and holding meetings to discuss
evacuation routes and preparedness, said
Paula Martin, who is helping coordinate
evacuation plans.
We have a levee response team, a sand
bagging team, teams to check on what
walkers checking on the levees find,
Martin said. Our community is pulling
together like real champs.
Meanwhile, the water level was decreas-
ing at Lake Oroville dam, where a damaged
spillway had raised major flood concerns.

munity of Maxwell, where dozens of peo-

STATE Monday Feb. 20, 2017 5
California has become waterlogged this
winter from heavy rain and snow. Oroville
Lake is brimming, and water managers
have been using the main spillway, which
is lined with concrete, to lower the water
level.
The emergency spillway is a brush-cov-
ered hillside below a masonry lip and had
never been used until last weekend. When
water gushed onto it, the ground began
eroding, and it was feared the intake lip
could collapse and water would surge down
the hill.
An investigation into what went wrong
could take months.
John France, vice president and technical
expert on dams for the engineering con-
sulting rm AECOM, said the problems at
Oroville should raise alarms across the
country.
Most of the dams in the United States
are over 50 years old, when we didnt under-
stand oods as well as we do now. So we
have a number of dams in the U.S. that have

Electronic media searches at border crossings raise worry
By Gillian Flaccus
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PORTLAND, Ore. Watchdog groups
that keep tabs on digital privacy rights are
concerned that U.S. Customs and Border
Protection agents are searching the phones
and other digital devices of international
travelers at border checkpoints in U.S. air-
ports.
The issue gained attention recently after at
least three travelers, including a Canadian
journalist, spoke out publicly about their
experiences.
The episodes have gained notice amid an
outcry over President Donald Trumps travel
ban and complaints of mistreatment of for-
eign travelers, but the government insists
there has been no policy change in the new
administration.
Border Protection says searches increased
fivefold in the final fiscal year of the Obama
presidency, but still amounted to less than
one-hundredth of 1 percent of all interna-
tional arrivals.
Here are some things to know about the
searches and your privacy rights.
What has prompted the concern?
The American Civil Liberties Union and
the Electronic Frontier Foundation both say
they have noticed an uptick in complaints
about searches of digital devices by border
agents.
The increase has become most noticeable
in the last month, said Adam Schwartz, a
senior staff lawyer at the Electronic Frontier
Foundation.

The government says nothing has
changed. Customs officials also say the per-
ceived shift can be attributed to a jump in the
number of electronic devices that people are
carrying with them and shifting tactics as the
agency adjusts to the amount and types of
information that can be stored on todays
devices.

Fourth Amendment from unreasonable search
and seizure.
A police officer, for example, must obtain
a warrant from a judge before searching a sus-
pects phone.
But the U.S. border is a legal gray zone.
Border agents have long had the right to
search travelers physical luggage without a
warrant, and that interpretation has been
expanded to include digital devices, ACLU
staff attorney Nathan Freed Wessler said.
In 2013, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals ruled that if agents want to do a
forensic search they need to have a reason-
able suspicion of wrongdoing, he said. But
the court stopped short of requiring agents to
obtain a search warrant beforehand, he said.
Trump also drilled down on policy during
his working weekend at Mar-a-Lago,
attending a strategy session on how to
repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act,
with top aides including Health Secretary
Tom Price and Mick Mulvaney, director of
the White House budget office.
While in Florida, the president found
time for a few holes of golf on Saturday and
Sunday. And with his wife, Melania, he
stopped by a fundraiser Saturday night at
his private Palm Beach club, put on by the
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
Trump also took to Twitter to explain a
comment he made about violence in
Sweden at a Saturday rally. He suggested
that some kind of major incident had taken
place in the country Friday night, but on
Sunday he said he was referring to some-
thing he saw on Fox News. That might

And an agent can flip through a phone in a
cursory search for any reason.
The law has not kept up with the incredi-

our pockets now and that creates
tremendous constitutional questions, said
Wessler.
In some ways, a search of your phone is
more invasive than a search of your house,
he said.
A case currently headed to another appeals
court could further clarify the law, said
Schwartz.
What does border protection say?
Numbers provided by the Border
Protection show a fivefold increase in elec-
tronic media searches in the 2016 fiscal
year ending on Sept. 30 over the previous
fiscal year.
In 2016, under the Obama administration,
there were 23,877 electronic media search-
es. That comes to .0061 percent of total
arrivals into the U.S. In fiscal year 2015,
there were 4,764 electronic media searches.
A senior CBP official briefed reporters on

Trump promised anew to build a border
wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, reduce
regulations and create jobs. He also
pledged to do something over the next
couple of days to address the immigration
order that has been blocked in the courts.
Said Trump: We dont give up, we never

Insisting he was the victim of false

Education secretarys impact on state unions
Pasadena Star-News
E
ducation Secretary Betsy
DeVos nomination and
approval certainly riled up
teachers unions across the country,
causing panic that their power over
education policy may nally be chal-
lenged.
DeVos has made clear that advocat-
ing for school choice will be a central
part of how she approaches her job,
something that evidently unnerves
the education establishment.
DeVos shows an antipathy for pub-
lic schools; a full-throttled embrace
of private, for-prot alternatives and
a lack of basic understanding of what
children need to succeed in school,
said Randi Weingarten, president of
the American Federation of Teachers,
upon DeVos conrmation. Similarly,
the National Education Association
took the occasion to call for resis-
tance to the Trump-DeVos agenda.
What precisely constitutes this
agenda isnt clear, but most of the
rhetoric ung around involves fear-
mongering that public education is
suddenly at risk, that corporate pro-
teers will be let loose to exploit stu-
dents and that poor and minority stu-
dents are at risk of not getting the
sort of education they need.
The panicked rhetoric seems to
stem from DeVos long history of
advocacy for charter schools and
school vouchers. In her home state of

Michigan, DeVos and her husband
have championed charter schools
to positive effect.
According to studies conducted by
Stanford Universitys Center for
Research on Education Outcomes,
Michigan charter school students, on
average, make larger learning gains
in both reading and mathematics
than Michigan students in traditional
public schools. Similar ndings were
identied in Detroit charter schools,
with African American, Hispanic,
low-income and special education stu-
dents making larger gains in both
reading and mathematics than stu-
dents in traditional schools.
With respect to vouchers, the expe-
rience of the District of Columbia
Opportunity Scholarship Program has
demonstrated that voucher programs
can yield positive educational out-
comes, including higher graduation
rates.
Notably, DeVos has repeatedly
stressed that education policy is bet-

OPINION
advance their own agenda. The
California Teachers Association and
California Federation of Teachers, for
example, are asking Californians to
take a pledge in support of the public
education all Californias students
deserve. According to the unions,
attaining public education that stu-
dents deserve requires one to support
sanctuary cities and the belief that
social justice for all begins with a
quality, free public education, what-
ever that means.
Are California students receiving a
quality public education today? Less
than half of California students met
statewide reading and math standards
last year, with just 48 percent meet-
ing or exceeding reading standards
and only 37 percent doing the same in
mathematics. Minority and low-
income students fare even worse under
a status quo that has seen consistent
growth in school budgets, bond fund-
ing and teacher pension obligations,
but abysmal educational outcomes.
Perhaps what threatens teachers
unions the most is the prospect of a
renewed focus on accountability, com-
petition and choice in education.
Parents want the best education for
their students. Whether education is
made available via traditional public
schools, charter schools or private
schools, what ultimately matters is
whether students actually receive the
best education they can get.

Polly Hoover Taylor gets
the first Pioneer Award
P
olly Hoover Taylor was honored with the rst
Pioneer Award from the San Mateo Area Chamber
of Commerce at its annual awards dinner last week.
Its in recognition of her ve decades of involvement in
the Coyote Point Museum, now CuriOdyssey.
Taylor said she isnt a pioneer and came to California
with her family when she was 2 years old. She was born in
Minneapolis, Minnesota. Her dad left high school when
he was drafted in World War I. He returned home, a sergeant
major, and soon became a bank examiner. In that role, he
traveled all over the country examining banks and met his
future wife who was a secretary to a chief bank examiner.
But Paul Hoover had big plans for the future and decided he
would move to California and start his own bank. He was
befriended by Herbert Fleishhacker, San Francisco philan-
thropist, whose bank soon became the Anglo-California
National Bank. It eventually
became Crocker National
Bank and Hoover became
president and chairman of
the board. Taylor, who is
very proud of her dad, said
he did this without formal
education.
***
Taylor grew up in
Hillsborough on Roblar
Avenue. She attended
Burlingame High School
and graduated from Stanford
University. There she met
her husband, Ted a returning
veteran (ROTC) and a
Stanford football player.
Their rst date was watching
a Milton Berle TV show. They married in 1953 at St.
Pauls Episcopal in Burlingame. Their rst house was in
Menlo Park near Sunset Magazine and then they found
their perfect home in San Mateo. We couldnt afford
Hillsborough, Taylor explained. They raised two children
there. Ted Taylor died last year and their son was killed in
a climbing accident when he was in college. Their daugh-
ter Kathryn has joined her mother in supporting environ-
mental education for children at the Coyote Point facility.
***
The childrens museum was a project of the Junior
League where Polly Taylor was an active member. In
1959, she helped start the auxiliary for the San Mateo
County Junior Museum, which was located in Quonset
huts next to San Mateo Junior College. Taylor took care
of the museums rabbits, skunks and turtles, and started a
program in which children could take a pet home for a
week. It was a very popular program. The group started an
annual Decorators Showhouse to raise funds for a better
facility. The well-attended fundraisers ended when the
town of Hillsborough would no longer allow the event
because of trafc concerns. Despite this, Taylor remained
vigilant in her support of the museum which she helped
evolve into CuriOdyssey.
She and Ted celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary at
CuriOdyssey to raise funds for the museum and she recent-
ly donated the sculpture of two bears in Central Park to
honor the memory of her husband and son.
***
Today, Polly Taylor lives in the same San Mateo house.
Her daughter is married to Tom Steyer, a leading environ-
mentalist and often mentioned candidate for governor. The
family has long been Republican so I asked Taylor what
her late father would think about herself and four grand-
children as Democrats. She said her dad thought Tom was
great and Kathryn walked on water.
***
Dr. Al Landucci, longtime San Mateo orthodontist and
philanthropist, received the coveted Francis Bohannon
Award for his support for education scholarships for chil-
dren in the community. Landucci is a wonderful man, much
beloved by all who know him.
***
Charles Dreschsler, San Mateo planning commissioner,
has decided not to run for City Council. Pamela OLeary, a
fellow commissioner will.
***
Congratulations to the San Mateo Planning
Commission for turning down the $8 million offer from
Bridgepointe owner, SPI, to demolish the ice rink. It
doesnt look as if a regional rink in Burlingame is going
anywhere. It would cost at least $18 million to build a new
rink excluding the cost of land. Where would that be? Plus
the two commissioners who voted for approval said the
$8 million should remain in city limits. SPI is being
short-sighted. The future of shopping centers with the rise
of online retail is dicey. Smart centers are using recre-
ational uses to attract shoppers. An updated regional ice
rink could help. Lets hope the City Council backs up the
commissions wise decision.

SpaceX launches rocket from NASAs historic moon pad

By Marcia Dunn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. A SpaceX
rocket soared from NASAs long-idled
moonshot pad Sunday, sending up space
station supplies from the exact spot where
astronauts embarked on the lunar landings
nearly a half-century ago.
It was the first flight from NASAs leg-
endary Launch Complex 39A since the
shuttle program ended almost six years
ago, and SpaceXs first liftoff from Florida
since a rocket explosion last summer.
The crowds at Kennedy Space Center
watched eagerly as the unmanned Falcon 9
rocket took flight with a cargo ship bound
for the International Space Station. They
got barely 10 seconds of viewing before
clouds swallowed up the Falcon as it thun-
dered skyward.
As an extra special treat, SpaceX landed
its leftover booster back at Cape Canaveral
eight minutes after liftoff, a feat accom-
plished only twice before. Most of
SpaceXs eight successful booster land-
ings rocket recycling at its finest
have used ocean platforms. As they did dur-
ing the shuttle era, sonic booms heralded
Sundays return.
SpaceX employees at company flight
headquarters in Southern California
cheered as the 15-story booster landed
upright at its designated parking spot at
Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
SpaceX chief Elon Musk celebrated the
successful touchdown via Twitter.
Baby came back, he tweeted.
The celebratory roar grew when the
Dragon cargo ship successfully reached
orbit a couple minutes later. It will reach
the space station Wednesday, delivering
5,500 pounds of food, clothes and experi-
ments.
It was SpaceXs second launch attempt in
a row. Saturdays effort was foiled by last-
minute rocket concerns. The repairs paid
off, and even the clouds parted enough to
ensure a safe flight.
Musk said hes honored to use Launch
Complex 39A. The company hopes to
launch astronauts from this very spot next
year, bringing U.S. crew launches back to
home soil after a longer-than-intended hia-
tus. SpaceX Mars missions, first robots
then people, could follow from here.
If the pad weathered Sundays launch
well, another Falcon could be standing
there for a satellite send-up in just two
weeks.
Kennedy Space Centers director Robert
Cabana, a former shuttle commander who
flew four times from 39A, is thrilled to see
the pad used for commercial flights like
this instead of just sitting out there and
rusting away. Its a stark contrast, he
noted, to the depression that followed the
final shuttle mission in 2011. REUTERS

Customers avoiding Wells Fargo

By Ken Sweet ures since the outcry over its sales prac-
China protests to block
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Customers are still turn-

ing their backs on Wells Fargo after a
scandal over sales practices, with the
bank saying Friday the number of new
checking accounts people opened was
down 31 percent in January from a year
earlier.
Applications for credit cards were even
worse, dropping 47 percent. Branch
bankers had 14 percent fewer interactions
with customers. Wells Fargo has been
releasing monthly reports on these fig-
tices as a sort of report card on how the
bank has been dealing with the scandal.
Wells customers still think less of the
bank since the scandal became public as
well. Its customer loyalty scores, a met-
ric Wells Fargo considered important
enough to highlight each quarter, contin-
ues to be down several percentage points
compared to before the scandal.
There are signs of stabilization,
though. While checking and credit cards
applications and traffic were all down
from a year earlier, they were up or stable
compared to December.
North Korean coal deal
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIJING China says it is suspending
all coal imports from North Korea for the
rest of the year as it increases pressure on
its communist neighbor to give up its
nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
The Commerce Ministry says the ban
takes effect Sunday and is in line with U.N.
Security Council sanctions imposed last
year in response to North Koreas nuclear
and missile tests.
China is North Koreas largest source of
trade and aid and the suspension will
deprive Pyongyang of an important source
of foreign currency.
Beijing has grown increasingly frustrat-
ed with North Koreas deance of U.N.
demands that it end missile tests and devel-
opment of nuclear weapons. North Korea
launched its latest ballistic missile test a
week ago.

Lady Bears three-peat at PAL champs
By Terry Bernal

The Menlo-Atherton girls basketball
team Saturday proved it is, without a
doubt, a modern-day Peninsula Athletic
League dynasty.
The Lady Bears cruised to a 60-41 victory
over South City in the PAL Girls Basketball
Tournament championship game at
Hillsdale High School, earning their third
straight title in the annual tourney. This
comes on the heels of M-A earning a three-
peat at the PAL South Division champs.

Basketball fans that bypassed the chance
to watch Klay Thompson contend for anoth-
er NBA All-Star weekend three-point crown
by attending the Peninsula Athletic League
Boys Basketball Tournament champi-
onship game got a supremely better show.
As the Sequoia Cherokees edged PAL
South Division rival Menlo-Atherton 68-65
Saturday night at Hillsdale High School, the
3-pointers came raining down from the out-
set in a thrilling shootout. The Cherokees
ultimately shot 11 of 16 from beyond the
arc, topping the Bears efficiency of 10 of
18, to capture their second PAL tourney title
in three years.
It doesnt get any better than this,
Sequoia head coach Fine Lauese said. Both
teams left everything on the floor. We just
got the lucky bounce at the end.
It was Sequoia guard Zach Benes trey that
proved the game-winner. The junior sat a vast
majority of the first half after incurring his
third foul just over two minutes into the
game. But sitting served him well as he
emerged energized in the second half, scoring
all 13 of his points after the halftime break,
including his clutch 3-pointer to break a 65-
65 tie with 2:02 remaining in regulation.
I was full energy, Bene said. I normally
play the whole game. So not playing a
whole half, I got my energy back. I went
hard as I could and we finished it off.
Benes 3 would be the final points of the
night for either team, as Sequoia and M-A
then traded 3-point misses. The Cherokees
committed their last of 14 turnovers in the
game with 13.8 seconds to go, giving M-A
the final possession with a chance to tie.
But Sequoias perimeter defense didnt allow

Alma Heights wraps up 5th straight PSAL boys hoops title
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
During its reign as five-time Private
School Athletic League boys basketball
champions, Alma Heights Christian got its
toughest test this year.
Through three games with rival Jewish
Community-SF, the Eagles barely preserved
their 63-game winning streak against PSAL
opponents including 52 regular-season
games and 11 PSAL playoff games dating
back to 2012-13. Alma Heights ultimately
swept the season series from Jewish
Community, but won all three games by
cumulative total of seven points.
The most recent showdown came in last
Tuesdays PSAL playoff semifinals as the
Eagles (23-3 overall) overcame a late 4-point
deficit to advance with a 48-47 victory. In
Thursdays finals, Alma Heights wrapped up
its fifth straight PSAL title with a 58-46 vic-
tory over the Nueva School (18-4).
Its just always been really tight, close

Mark Bermudez said of the 2016-17 rivalry

Elliott nipped Earnhardt on the final qual-

speed of 192.864 and become the first

Earnhardt, long NASCARs most popular

The winning play started on a faceoff in
the Bruins defensive zone. Patrice Bergeron
won the faceoff back to Torey Krug, who
sent a stretch pass up ice that Marchand
retrieved behind the Sharks defense. He
skated in all alone on Jones and beat him for
his 25th goal of the season.
While teams coming out of the bye week

DJ goes to No. 1 with big win at Riviera
By Doug Ferguson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES Dustin Johnsons
raw talent and a trophy case that keeps
growing allowed him to believe he was
the best player in golf.
Now he can say it.
Even if he doesnt understand the
math involved with being No. 1.
Johnson extended a remarkable run,
which began with his first major at the
U.S. Open last summer, with a five-shot
victory in the Genesis Open that was
never in doubt Sunday. That elevated the
32-year-old American to No. 1 in the
world for the first time.
Johnson doesnt spend a lot of time
crunching numbers, especially the com-
putations for the world ranking. But he
said he would look at it first thing in the
morning.
I dont really understand it, he said.
But I can read 1-2-3. I guess thats all
that matters.
In a 36-hole Sunday brought on by
weather delays at Riviera, all it took was
five holes to put Johnson in charge. He
finished the third
round in the morning
with three straight
birdies for a 7-under
64 to build a five-
shot lead. He started
the final round with
two straight birdies
and eventually
Dustin Johnson stretched his lead to
nine shots.
He went 49 straight holes without a
bogey.
Johnson didnt know he was in range
of the 72-hole scoring record at Riviera
that dates to 1985, the longest standing
on the PGA Tour schedule. He wasnt
thinking about reaching No. 1 in the
world. All he cared about was winning at
Riviera, one of his favorite courses
where he had four chances to win in the
last five years.
Johnson, who made three meaning-
less bogeys over the last 10 holes for an
even-par 71, became the 20th player to
reach No. 1 since the world ranking
began in 1986. He ended Jason Days
47-week stay at the top.
SPORTS
Johnson won for the fourth time
against some of golfs strongest
fields in the last eight months the
U.S. Open at Oakmont, a World Golf
Championship at Firestone, a FedEx
Cup playoff event at Crooked Stick
and the best field so far this year at
Riviera. He has finished no worse
than third in eight of his last 16 tour-
naments.
No surprise to us players, and I dont
think too much surprise to many oth-
ers, Jordan Spieth said.
And its not a surprise to Johnson.
Asked if he ever looked at himself as
the best in the world even without the
No. 1 ranking, Johnson smiled and
said, All the time.
He heard it, too, as the gallery on the
hill surrounding the 18th green began
chanting, No. 1.
Johnson finished at 17-under 267.
Lanny Wadkins won at Riviera in 1985
at 20-under 264. Johnson said he didnt
know what the record was, and once he
made the turn with a seven-shot lead, he
started playing away from trouble and at
the middle of the greens.

Wrestling brief
Transgender wrestler wins Texas regional title
ALLEN, Texas A 17-year-old Dallas-area high school
transgender wrestler who is transitioning from female to
male has won a girls regional championship after a female
opponent forfeited their match.
Mack Beggs, a Euless Trinity High School junior who is
undefeated this wrestling season, hugged opponent Madeline
Rocha, from Coppell, on the victory stand Saturday after
their match for the 110-pound Class 6A Region 2 champi-
onship never took place when Rocha declined to wrestle.
Beggs and Rocha advance to the state championships
next weekend. The top four finishers in the region qualified
for the state tournament.
Beggs coach, Travis Clark, told The Dallas Morning News
the forfeit was expected but declined further comment.
Coppells coach and athletic director also declined to comment.
Beggs grandmother and guardian, Nancy Beggs, says the
outcome was about bias, hatred and ignorance.
WRESTLING

legacy. Weve got all the names up in the wall in our matt
room. To see his name up there multiple times, its really
something special.
As an underclassman, Cruz faced some highly contested
championship bouts. He has wrestled as a heavyweight since
he was a freshman. In both his freshman and sophomore sea-
sons his championship matches went into overtime with him
holding on for PAL gold.
285s usually has someone strong there every year,
Cervantes said. So for him to do it as a freshman and sopho-
more those were both very close matches those two years.
This year Cruz was in complete command. Taking on Selsa,
a wrestler with whom he has previously trained with for club
wrestling at El Camino, Cruz scored takedowns in the first and
second round before he went to his signature move, the dou-
ble-leg takedown into a half nelson, for the pin.
He just had lots of motion, Cervantes said. He just capi-
talized whatever stance his opponent gave him and had quali-
ty takedowns. He was in total control.
Despite joining the elite of all-time Warriors wrestlers, Cruz
celebrated modestly following his second win on the day.
He threw up the four fingers, Cervantes said. That was
his fourth title. It was an opponent hes competed with a lot
over the last few years so he didnt want to show him up.
With the top four finishers in each weight class advancing
to the Central Coast Section championships this Friday and
Saturday at Independence High School, Cruz will look to
improve on his best all-time CCS finish when he took second
place last year. He is currently ranked No. 1 in CCS at 285s,
with Oak Groves Mark Leon being his steepest competition
over the regular season.
Leon scored a win over Cruz at the Overfelt Classic, win-
ning by a 6-5 decision after scoring a 5-point reversal and
near fall. Cruz bounced back the following week, defeating
Leon via pin fall at the Gilroy Mid-Peninsula Classic.
Winning CCS should be a given, Cervantes said. His real
goal right now is placing at state. CCS, he feels pretty comfort-
able. Hes wrestled most of the top guys multiple times there.
HMB, Terra Nova finish one-two
In the team competition, Half Moon Bay captured the team
championship. Two HMB wrestlers won individual titles,
with Jimmy Claitor taking gold in 170s with a pin against
Aragons Isaiah Martin. In 220s, Ricky Camacho earned his
second straight PAL title with a pin of Mills Sione Langi.
Terra Nova took second place in the team competition but
finished with the most individual gold medals on the day,
claiming three titles. At 113s, Daniel Borrego won his first
career PAL title, pinning Aragons Hans Canton in the second
round. At 120s, Jacob Valdez claimed the title, pinning El
Caminos Luis Angel Vasquez in the third round. At 138s, Jared
Abellera earned his first PAL title with a second-round pin of
Oceanas Andrew Shiokari.
All three of Terra Novas gold medalists won each of their
matches on the day via pin fall. Borrego won tournament
Most Valuable Wrestler honors, as voted on by PAL coaches.
Borregos honor marked a big bounce back after he didnt
wrestle last year due to an elbow injury, which he sustained
two years ago the week prior to the CCS championships. He
underwent elbow surgery prior to last season and was forced to
sit out.
We had to shake off some rust and once we shook it off we
were able to rock and roll, Terra Nova head coach Erik Butler
said.
Also winning individual titles were: at 126s, Sequoias
Masa Danovitz via pin against Terra Novas Edward Ruiz; at
132s, Sequoias Danny Camacho via pin against HMBs
Damon George; at 145s, Carlmonts Dylan Adams via 9-4
decision over Terra Novas Michael Pitts; at 152s,
Burlingames Cole Friedlander via pin against Menlo-
Athertons Anthony Waller; at 160s, Menlo-Athertons
Salvador Ruiz via pin over Burlingames Andrew Slaboda; at
182, Menlo-Athertons Nicholas Ozden via pin over
Woodsides Fabian Gutierrez; and at 195s, San Mateos Tristan

Smith leads No. 10 Stanford past Cal
By Rick Eymer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
STANFORD Alanna Smith has had a pret-
ty good week.
Three days after scoring a career-high 27
points in No. 10 Stanfords victory over
California in Berkley, the Australian sopho-
more had 17 points and eight rebounds to
help the Cardinal beat the Bears 72-54 on
Sunday.
She does a good job whether she scores or
not, Cardinal teammate Karlie Samuelson
said. But when she scores, he likes to score
and she likes to keep scoring.
This time around she was the team leader in
points and rebounds.
She was a key to the series, Cal coach
Lindsay Gottlieb said. I heard a ton
about her. But if you focus on one or two,
you can get burned by three or four. She
hurt us more on the block and around the
basket today.
Brittany McPhee added 16 points for the
Cardinal (24-4, 14-2 Pac-12). They have won
11 of their last 12 heading into a Friday night
showdown at Oregon State.
Samuelson added 11 points to help Stanford
beat Cal for the fifth
straight time.
She stays with it even
if she misses a couple,
Stanford coach Tara
VanDerveer said about
Samuelson. She knows
the team depends on her.
All the seniors set a great
Alanna Smith example. They all give us
great things.
Kristine Anigwe scored 12 points to lead the
Bears (17-11, 5-11), and Mikayla Cowling
added 10. Cal has lost four in a row since
sweeping Southern California and UCLA.
The game was close until late in the third
quarter. Stanfords largest lead until then was
seven.
Samuelson hit two consecutive 3-pointers
late in the third quarter to give the Cardinal a
54-42 advantage. Cowling hit a short jumper
to bring Cal within 10 heading into the final
period.
They went on a couple of runs we couldnt
answer, Gottlieb said.
Stanford outscored the Bears 7-2 over the
final three minutes of the first half to take a
37-32 lead into the intermission.
Senior Day showcase
Stanford seniors Samuelson, Erica McCall
and Briana Roberson were honored after the
game.
Its surreal to play with this team,
Roberson said. When things get tough, peo-
ple will be there to hype you up. Theres
always somebody to talk to.
McCall will leave Stanford among the all-
time leaders in points, rebounds and blocked
shots. Samuelson will leave as one of the top
3-pointer shooters. Roberson is one of the
most underrated point guards and defender
around, VanDerveer said.
Bear with it
Cal brought a 17-0 record into conference
play and has struggled ever since. The Bears do
own a big win over UCLAand still feel like they
have a chance to make the NCAA tournament.
The last couple of weeks weve had the
mindset that we have to get a couple more,
Gottlieb said. If we can get a couple, that will
get us in. Well go up to Oregon like theyre
tournament games. We have to get it done. We
know we can play with anybody. We want to
be the team that can beat those teams.

NEW YORK The Great Wall was
a hit in China. In North America, it was
a dud.
The most expensive film ever made
in China and with a budget of $150
million, The Great Wall was intended
to prove that the worlds no. 2 movie
marketplace could produce Hollywood-
sized blockbusters of its own. Though
it ran up $171 million in ticket sales in
China, The Great Wall pulled in
$18.1 million in its North American
debut over Presidents Day weekend,
according to studio estimates Sunday.
That was good enough for third
place, falling behind last weekends
top two films, The Lego Batman and
Fifty Shades Darker. The Warner
Bros. animated release easily led the
box office again with $34.2 million in
its second week, sliding only 35 per-
cent. Universals Fifty Shades
Darker sold $21 million in tickets in
its second week. The erotic sequel con-
tinues to play well overseas, where it
led international business with $43.7
million over the weekend.
Slammed by critics, The Great Wall
didnt measure up to its initial ambi-
tions. It was produced by Legendary
Entertainment, which has since been
acquired by Chinese conglomerate
Wanda Group. The film, directed by
Zhang Yimou, originated with an idea
by Legendary chief executive Thomas
Tull, who exited the company last
month.
But The Great Wall isnt a bomb. It

Currently, about 130,700 people use the

The recreation center isnt the only
major infrastructure project the city and
its pocketbook must contemplate.
Foster City already has more than $150
million worth of infrastructure projects
in the works. The city is reconstructing
its levee lining the Bayfront as part of an
effort to avoid being pulled into the flood
zone forcing thousands of property own-
ers from having to purchase costly feder-
ally-mandated flood insurance.
It is also responsible for its share of a
$900 million upgrade to the wastewater
treatment plant it shares with San Mateo.
Although that neighboring city is taking
the lead on the project aiming to ensure
raw sewage no longer leaks into the Bay,
Foster City owns about 25 percent of the
treatment plant, a responsibility esti-
mated to cost $116 million.
While those projects are considered
needed, urgent and underway; Perez noted
the recreation centers roof and inability
to serve as an emergency shelter should
prompt attention as well.
The wastewater plant project will be

Liu said no formal decisions have been
made about replacement and theyre still
in the outreach phase. Not sure how the
council will respond to Tuesdays presen-
tation, she suggested it might not be
until October or later this year that the
council makes a formal decision on how
to proceed.
Ultimately, she anticipates many of the
existing programs offered at the recre-
ation center expanding and the facility
continuing to serve as a social gathering
hub.
Its really about bringing people into
the park, bringing people to the teen
center, the [Peninsula Jewish Community
Center], the library; its an activity hub
of the community, Liu said. Its a place
that facilitates people coming together.

cap, a cut of more than half from the cap
under the Obama administration.
The U.S. has already taken in more than
35,000 refugees this year, leaving less than
15,000 spots before hitting Trumps cap,
according to a U.S. official. That means that
for the rest of this fiscal year, the number of
refugees being let in per week will likely fall
to a fraction of what it had been under the
Obama administrations cap of 110,000.
Earlier this month, the 9th Circuit Court
of Appeals in San Francisco refused to rein-
state Trumps ban, unanimously rejecting
the administrations claim of presidential
authority, questioning its motives and con-
cluding that the order was unlikely to sur-
vive legal challenges.

Located on Alameda de las Pulgas
between Madera Avenue and Melendy
Drive, the three properties making up
the site where a family-owned water
company once stood were the subject of
a 2015 bond measure that the City
Council approved for placement on the
2015 ballot. Called Measure V, the
effort sought to raise funds to buy the
11.3-acre Black Mountain property,
7.3-acre Rollieri property and 4.9-acre
Vista Del Grande property to protect
them from development and preserve
them for open space and recreational
use. Opponents of Measure V cited con-
cerns about the lack of clarity around use
of the funds and felt city officials over-
stated the need to save additional park
space and the threat of developments in
the area.
CARS
Continued from page 1
unfortunate condition of being a resi-
dential neighborhood thats also an
onramp.
He understands why people might
chose to leave a for-sale car parked in
the area as tens of thousands of drivers
pass by every day. But the results are
people blocking residential driveways
to scope out cars, strangers with flash-
lights looking into vehicles at all
hours, and sellers essentially running a
pop-up used car lot, he said.
People just leave their cars out here
on the street and what that does is its
exactly like graffiti or litter; one feeds
upon the other and it invites crimes, it
creates a lower perception of the
neighborhood, people dont take pride
in it, Weinhauer said.
The city is currently only able to
ticket vehicles that have been report-
ed, then marked as unmoved for at least
72 hours. But now that the permit pro-
gram is in motion, and all are confi-
dent it will resolve the problem at
least in this neighborhood.
Obviously parking in San Mateo is
Proponents of the citys purchase
argued it would have spared the land
from the future development of up to
100 homes. The final cost to purchase
and improve the land would have been
$86 million and cost the average home-
owner $118 in annual property taxes.
Measure V ultimately failed, garnering
less than 40 percent of the vote when it
needed two-thirds majority to pass.
Councilman Mark Olbert said he
understands Dragonfly to be focused on
residential housing projects in San
Carlos and San Francisco and thought
their efforts might help meet the demand
for housing in the area. Olbert said the
developer, which has at least six small-
er-scale, ongoing or completed projects
in San Carlos, struck him as a group that
worked creatively with the communities
where their projects are built.
They recognize that theyre building
something in an existing community
and they want to honor the values of the
existing community, he said.
Olbert, who with his wife supported
Measure V with a $10,000 contribution,
said he was sorry that Measure V didnt
pass to address the citys need for more
park space, but acknowledged the com-
plexities of using the term open
space, which may mean something dif-
kind of at a premium, so when outside
influences affect residential streets or a
street in town, then theres options to
look at, said Public Works Director
Brad Underwood.
Crews have been putting up signs
along Fourth Avenue and during a sec-
ond phase that will align with the
installation of new streetlights, signs
will be added along nearby side streets.
Eventually, the program will cover a
roughly six-block area between Third
and Fifth avenues from Humboldt to El
Dorado streets, according to
Underwood.
Once signs are installed in an area,
police will be notified and begin a 30-
day warning period.
Initially, tensions rose between res-
idents and law enforcement who
emphasized they could not simply
ticket for a car being parked with a for-
sale sign after the city attorney
explained free speech rights were at
play.
But in a commitment to protect
neighborhoods, the police department
is hiring additional parking enforce-
ment personnel to enforce the residen-
tial parking permit program as it pre-
pares for an aggressive rollout, said
Capt. Dave Norris.

ferent for everyone.
Vice Mayor Matt Grocott, who
opposed Measure V, said investing in
the property without a specific focus for
the open space would not have made
sense.
While we could use more park land,
the pressure and what were hearing from
the community in my opinion has more
to do with field space as opposed to
more park where you can go hiking and
so forth, he said.
Grocott noted the expense involved
in creating playing fields for sports in
spaces better-suited for trails that con-
form with a given plots geography. He
said nearby parks, such as Edgewood
Park and Natural Preserve and Pulgas
Ridge Open Space Preserve in Redwood
City, offer opportunities for residents to
enjoy trails.
The need that we have for park space
has more to do with fields, he said.
Weve got plenty of parks for trails.
Measure V opponents had argued the
steep terrain of the properties would
have made the construction of housing
on the site difficult, and Grocott guesses
any future development projects may
face regulations relating to soil testing
in addition to standard zoning regula-
tions.
is well aware of the level of communi-
ty concern over this matter. We are
working hard in partnership with our
Department of Public Works, and look
forward to doing our part to alleviate
parking concerns in the neighbor-
hood, Norris said in an email.
One concern is whether stomping
out the problem in one neighborhood
could simply result in it spreading to
another in an unfortunate game of
whack-a-mole. Previously, there had
been reports of issues along El
Camino Real, which is technically
under the states jurisdiction.
Underwood said if the Fourth Avenue
situation spreads elsewhere, the city
would likely work with Caltrans or
whoever else is affected to deter from
cars being advertised on the street.
Weinhauer said hes fairly confident
there are a handful of individuals
responsible for most of the cars parked
in his neighborhood and worries some
are vehicles in poor condition that a
dealer couldnt sell. But hes now
hopeful the two-hour parking limit
will squash the pop-up used-car lot.
Im very optimistic that once this
happens [police will] hit it pretty hard
initially and get those dealers that run
half these cars out of here, he said.
And things will improve quite a bit.

obviously, McLanahan said. So we just
move the ball and try to get open shots.
With the championship game being a
dream PAL matchup, featuring the PAL South
champs against PAL North Division cham-
pion South City, it was also a chance to see
both leagues MVPs doing battle. Warriors
point guard Brittney Cedeno thrilled in the
first half, scoring all her team-high 12
points prior to halftime.
But at the start of the second half disaster
struck as Cedeno made a pass from the side-
line just in front of the South City bench.
When she landed, her ankle buckled and she
fell to the court screaming. She had to be
helped from the floor and was taken to the
hospital for X-rays with the game still in
progress.
minor ligament tears in her ankle. She will
not play in South Citys Central Coast
Section playoff opener this Saturday. It is
still to be determined if she will be able to
suit up for the second-round game March 1
should the Warriors advance.
Shes one of the toughest kids, Carion
said. She does not go out for any injuries.
When I heard her scream I knew it must have
been serious.
No sooner did Cedeno depart did the
Bears, already leading 31-19, go on a 17-3
run.
It was a big key, South City junior cen-
ter Nevaeh Miller said of Ceddenos injury.
Playing without her, we struggled to
score.
M-A went on to shoot 48. 1 percent
throughout, including 9 of 16 in the third
quarter. This after the Bears had to work
through a tenacious South City defense in
the first half just to get open looks.
defensive game plan on us, Coleman said.
We had to work a little harder than were
used to. But Im glad the girls remained
calm. They played patient and they were
looking for the open shot. I think we start-
ed off kind of slow. And once we settled
down a little bit ... they started moving the
ball around. It was a good all-around game
for our entire team.
McLanahan hit three 3s in the first half,
but had to work for the first two. She got
just a little daylight at the end of the first
quarter, but it was enough to sink her first 3
to cap an 8-0 Bears run. Her second one,
with 1:33 remaining in the first half, was an
inside-out pass from the post as Hoyem
recorded one of her four assists.
They were sticking to me but Greer did a
good job getting me open, McLanahan
said. So did [Sili]. Everyone was looking
for me. It was a good passing night.
Miller had the most prolific night on the
boards for either team, grabbing a game-
M-A 31-26. But the Bears with starting
forward Megan Sparrow and sixth-man Erica
Fisher rounding out an exceptional defen-
sive effort held South City to single-
digit scoring in each of the first three quar-
ters.
They have a lot of shooters and they
have all-around players, Miller said.
Theyre all pretty good.
South City finished shooting just 32.7
percent from the field. The Warriors led
briefly in the first quarter then tied it 14-14
midway through the second on a steal and
score by Cedeno. Fisher answered with a
put-back off an offensive rebound and
Hoyem then scored in transition to spark a
13-0 run for M-A.
I really felt like every shot was tough,
Carion said. Every basket was really
tough. We had one bad rotation and it led to
a 3 and it just kind of opened the gates ...
and before you knew it that 18-14 was 28-
14.

BOYS

shot at the buzzer fell short to send the
Cherokees into an animated celebration at
midcourt.
The win gives Sequoia the hammer on a
three-game series with M-A this season.
The Bears earned their second straight PAL
South Division title after splitting the reg-
ular-season series.
To finish off a series with a team people
said we couldnt beat at the beginning of the
season, to finally get this championship,
its great, Bene said.
While 3s reigned supreme from the outset,
it was Sequoias tenacity at crashing the
offensive boards that made the difference in
the closing period.
Sequoia junior center Ziggy Lauese
recorded a double-double, totaling game-
highs with 17 points and 11 rebounds.
None of his boards were more important
than the offensive rebound he grabbed as
the Cherokees trailed 63-60 with just over
three minutes to play.
Entering the fourth quarter with the game
deadlocked 52-52, M-A opened with a five-
point run. But Sequoia answered with an 8-1
spurt before the Bears tied it at 60-60. Then
M-A junior Logan Faberowski knocked
down a 3 to swing M-A back out front.
Sequoia ran back down and missed a jumper
with M-A seeming to have position in the
post, but Ziggy Lauese shoved through to
pull the board; he then kicked an assist pass
out to Bene for a game-tying 3-pointer.
After M-A fired back with a 2 by Raymond
Fowler to go up 65-63, Sequoia muscled for
another critical offensive rebound. This
time it was junior forward Kyle Pruhsmeier
that got er done, passing the ball out to
point guard NJai LeBlanc Jr., who sent an
assist pass in to Ziggy Lauese, who laid it
in to tie it at 65.
They were huge, Fine Lauese said of the
back-to-back offensive boards. Kyle gave
us some energy off the bench. Ziggy has
been big for us in the middle. But M-A did a
great job. ... At the end we just got lucky
with some bounces.
M-A had done a decent job of boxing out
Ziggy Lauese in the early going. The 6-6
junior grabbed just four of his 11 rebounds
in the first half.
Our bigs were fronting him, and then our
guards were helping from the weak side
when he got the ball, M-A sophomore
guard James Beckwith said. Just trying to
contain him and keep him off the boards all
night.
Not that there were a lot of missed shots
in the first half. M-A shooting 51.2 per-
cent from the field in the game was 12 of
23 in the first half. Sequoia shooting
56.8 percent throughout was 13 of 22
from the field in the first half. Each team
knocked down five 3-pointers in the first
quarter alone, including three by Beckwith,
who finished with a team-high 14 points.
My adrenaline was flowing, Beckwith
said. I just wanted to be aggressive early. I
got some open looks and knocked them
down.
In turn, Sequoia was led by two 3s apiece
from LeBlanc and junior guard Myles
Nunez. Five different Cherokees sunk 3-
pointers in the game. It was just an exten-
sion of the 3-point competitions in prac-
tice, according to Nunez.
Our shooting is competitive, Nunez
said. We get a lot of talking here and there.
A lot of competition in our practice but
were always getting better.
LeBlanc finished with 15 points, five
assists, three rebounds and three steals in
another exceptional all-around performance
for the first-team PAL South guard.
This was such a great win, Bene said.
One of our best, I think.
Two-time PAL South Most Valuable Player
Eric Norton gave a hearty performance in
the post, as the 6-foot point guard scored 10
points but added a team-high seven
rebounds.
