School district shines focus on athletic field lights

San Mateo Union officials hope discussion illuminates issue, while some neighbors want fields dark
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The discussion over whether to

install permanent athletic field
lights in the San Mateo Union
High School district is being resurrected, despite the concerns of
some residents who fear the lights
might invite blight.

Residents are invited to a community meeting Monday, April 6

at Aragon High School in San
Mateo to discuss the proposal to
install
lights
at
Aragon,
Capuchino, Hillsdale, Mills and
San Mateo high schools.
Burlingame High School is the
only campus in the district that
has permanent field lights, the

rest use temporary lights for

sporting events.
District coaches began rallying
support for the project last summer, citing concerns regarding the
inability of athletes to practice
after school, specifically during
the winter months when daylight
hours are limited.
But as the discussion resurfaces,

some residents who live near campuses where the lights are slated to
be built are worried about the
impact of the district regularly
hosting sporting events at the
fields.
Phil Banda, who lives near
Hillsdale High School, called the
field lights proposal an abhorrent idea, and cited the unpleas-

antness of seeing his neighborhood overrun by attendees of

nighttime football games as cause
for concern that installing permanent lights could bring more of
the same.
There has been a huge, huge
undesirable impact of night sports

Park.

Parking in downtown San Mateo

could be a little pricier in the near
future as ofcials hope increasing
rates and fees will help eventually
ease the citys parking crunch.
Parking woes could be a good
sign that the business district is
bustling, but projections that
show an additional 400 new
spaces are needed to accommodate
growth over the next 10 years are
prompting changes to San
Mateos outdated fee structure, ofcials say.
The City Council is considering
doubling the hourly meter rates

from 50 cents to
$1 per hour in
prime spaces
while eliminating time restrictions for many
off-street
spaces. It will
also
vote
Larry Patterson Monday, April
6 whether to
triple its outdated in-lieu fees

they cant provide spaces over the

Players fight for ball field Credit union boss

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Proposed changes to the future

of San Mateos Central Park is
again drawing concern, this time
from a user group that seeks to
promote recreational amenities
and preserve Fitzgerald Field.
Hundreds were drawn to a recent
Planning Commission meeting to
discuss the proposed updates to
the historic parks master plan, a
process through which three conceptual maps showing a variety of
features are open for public comment before any changes are made.

Currently, the parks six tennis

courts are removed from the
designs and one option shows
doing away with the ball field in
favor of a large open lawn.
Brian Haverty, president of San
Mateo Little League American, and
Mike Heagerty, secretary of the
citys Little League, said they created a petition in response to
underwhelming attention being
paid to recreational amenities at
the park.
I do feel like there was a slant
towards non-recreational use. And
that by not having the tennis
courts and eliminating them from

all of the options, they really didnt address what people use this
park for, Heagerty said.
While Heagerty and Haverty
remain concerned the heavily-used
ball field doesnt appear in one of
the conceptual design proposals,
others say the varied design
options are part of the process.
The goal of any master plan
process is to really select the
appropriate mix of amenities that
best meet the unique character
of the site, as well as the needs of
the user groups, Parks and

Top Mormons outline
support for marriage
for man-woman only
SALT LAKE CITY Mormon leaders vowed to be a leading advocate for
the belief that marriage is an institution exclusive to a man and a woman
during the religions biannual conference Saturday that also included two
rare events.
The first came when the conference
kicked off without the usual welcoming address from church President
Thomas S. Monson, 87, who days earlier also missed a meeting with
President Barack Obama while he was
in Utah.
Monson, who was still present at
conference and walked in on his own,
skipped the speech as part of a decision to reduce the number of speeches
hes giving this weekend, church officials said. He gave a short speech
about the priesthood Saturday
evening.
The second unusual event occurred
when five people stood up and yelled,
Opposed, during a part of the conference when attendees usually raise their
hands in unison in a vote of support
for church leadership, drawing some
gasps by surprised attendees who hadnt seen this kind of act for decades.
They represented only a handful of the
20,000 in attendance.

Christs apostles and serves under the
church president and his two counselors.
As acceptance for gay marriage has
swelled in recent years and same-sex
unions have become legal in dozens of
states, including Utah, the churchs
stance on homosexuality has softened.
Church leaders helped push through
a Utah law this year that bars housing
and employment discrimination
against gay and transgender individuals while also expanding protections
for the rights of religious groups and
individuals. LGBT activists have
spent years pushing for a statewide
non-discrimination law, but they
couldnt get traction until LDS leaders
made a nationwide call for this type of
legislation that combined protections
for religious liberties.
But the religion has taken time during several recent conferences to
emphasize its insistence that marriage
should be limited to unions between a
man and a woman, as God created. In
April 2014, Neil L. Andersen of the
quorum said, While many governments and well-meaning individuals
have redefined marriage, the Lord has
not.
A few eyebrows were raised when
President Monson didnt come out for
his customary welcome address, given
instead by the faiths third-highest
ranking leader, Dieter F. Uchtdorf.

L. Tom Perry, a member of the faiths

Quorum of the Twelve, cautioned
Mormons not to be swayed by a world
filled with media and entertainment
that presents the minority masquerading as the majority and tries to make
mainstream values seem obsolete.
Perry said strong, traditional families are the basic units of a stable society, a stable economy and a stable culture of values. He noted that Mormons
investment in the topic is even deeper
than other religions because they
believe marriages and family are for
eternity.
We want our voice to be heard
against all of the counterfeit and alternative lifestyles that try to replace the
family organization that God Himself
established, Perry said.
D. Todd Christofferson, another
member of the quorum, added more on
the topic, saying, A family built on
the marriage of a man and woman supplies the best setting for Gods plan to
thrive the setting for the birth of
children who come in purity and innocence from God.
Christofferson said the focus on
marriage isnt meant to disparage
those who dont marry, be it because
they cant find a suitable partner, have
physical or mental impairments or
experience same-sex attraction.
No one is predestined to receive
less than all that the Father has for His
children, Christofferson said.

The forgotten Islais Creek

Monday April 6, 2015

Police reports
Broadway bound
A vehicle was stolen along with a black
leather bag and a cellphone on the 100
block of Broadway in Millbrae before
3:18 p.m. Wednesday, April 1.

MILLBRAE

an Franciscos ever persistent population march to its southern and

western borders spelled the death
knell for the most extensive open-water
creek that existed in San Francisco. Today,
virtually none of its surface is visible
although it drained the south and east slopes
of Mount Davidson, the three hills of
Diamond Heights (Red Rock, Gold Mine and
Fairmount Hill) as well as the southern area
of Twin Peaks. It was a massive drainage
system that was almost a river and supported an extensive freshwater riparian habitat
that existed in the area from Highway
101/Interstate 280 interchange to the saltwater tidal marsh to the east. The diverse
habitat supported an abundance of fish,
crustacean and millions of shorebirds. For
thousands of years, the vegetation that covered hills of Mount Davidson and Twin
Peaks supplied food and sustenance for
herds of elk, deer, bear and communities of
skunks, raccoon, opossum and garter
snakes.
When scientist George Davidson mapped
the mountain named for him, he called it
Blue Mountain due to the color of the wild
flowers that grew there. He was able to view
the tributaries of the Islais Creek that
flowed on the north side (Miraloma) and on
the south side of the mountain. In 1891, the
Islais and Salinas Water Company (later the
Spring Valley Water Company) began tapping the Bethlehem Spring that produced
200,000 gallons of fresh water for use.
A principle collector and conduit for the
Islais Creek was the Glen Canyon (called
Rock Gulch at first) that channeled much of
the water to the southeast and toward the
Bay. The well gouged out, relatively flat
canyon that formed on its journey toward
the Bay afforded a much sought after site for
many of the transportation systems (such as
the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad,
the Ocean Shore Railroad and the #40
Trolley Line as well as other trolleys) and
that was to develop to serve the people
transportation along the Peninsula. The
fresh water in the creek became an unfortunate victim in the struggle to improve the

Family confronts polite stranger in Sister Play

By Judy Richter

dirty from his life on the road, the Texan is

polite and well spoken, even eloquent. Hes
attracted to Lilly, who reciprocates.
Malcolm comes to accept him, especially
since hes just read and liked Malcolms latest book. Anna wants him to leave and
never return. She doesnt trust him, especially where Lilly is concerned.
Thanks to Williams persistence, however, both sisters begin to alter their stances.
As the playwright, Kolvenbach has written some humorous lines. As the director,
he elicits well-timed performances from all
four members of this outstanding cast.
The two men are especially noteworthy,
as is Campbell as Lilly. Brescia as Anna has
perhaps the most difficult role because the
character is so controlling and sometimes
brittle, yet she means well and deeply loves
her sister and husband.
Running just over two hours with one
intermission, the play has interesting,
sometimes off-kilter insights into family
dynamics, especially between sisters.

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

Sisterly bonds are enduring, as seen in

Sister Play at Magic Theatre.
Written and directed by John Kolvenbach,
its set in a deteriorating Cape Cod cottage
where three family members are making
their annual visit.
The book-packed, moldy cottage
belonged to the father of Anna (Lisa
Brescia) and her younger sister, Lilly (Jessi
Campbell).
Anna, married to author Malcolm
(Anthony Fusco), has been a surrogate
mother to Lilly, now 30, ever since their
father died some 15 years ago. Their mother
had essentially abandoned them before that.
Lilly has floundered in life, drifting from
one loser boyfriend to another, while the
overly protective Anna tries to serve as her
anchor.
In the meantime, low-key Malcolm loves
his wife and does what he can to understand
the sisterly dynamics and sometimes stay
away from them.
Things change one night when Lilly goes
out for a drive and brings back a drifter,
called Man in the program but named
William Casy (Patrick Kelly Jones).
Although his clothing is rumpled and

The public is advised to not
approach a mountain lion, especially one feeding with its offspring, emergency services ofcials said.
Anyone who encounters a moun-

instead face the animal, make
noises and appear larger by waving their arms, according to ofcials. People should avoid hiking

committed nearly three decades ago says he considers the
Easter Sunday announcement a new beginning in his life.
Eddy Zheng, 45, next has to convince federal immigration authorities not to use crimes he committed at age 16 as
grounds for deporting him to his native China.
Gov. Jerry Brown on Sunday granted pardons to 83 people. An announcement by Browns office said that each person has been out of state prison for at least 10 years and
leads a productive life with no new criminal convictions.
Most of them had been convicted of drug and robbery cases.
Zheng said he feels like he won the lottery.
It doesnt change the fact that I committed my crime,
Zheng said. It doesnt change that I hurt my victims, my
community, my family and myself.
But he said that the pardon validates his rehabilitation.
An immigrant from China, Zheng in January 1986 committed a robbery and kidnapping in San Francisco that put
him in state prison for 19 years. He spent two more years
in federal detention, fighting his deportation. He said that
battle is not over and he could be deported.

states water supply but make up

less than 2 percent of the states
economy. Brown said farmers
arent using water frivolously on
their lawns or taking long showers.
Theyre providing most of the
fruits and vegetables of America to
a significant part of the world, he
said.
Brown said that before the cutbacks, some California farmers
had already been denied irrigation
water from federal surface supplies, forcing them to leave hundreds of thousands of acres
unplanted. Many vulnerable farm
laborers are without work, he said.
Farmers who dont have access
to surface water have

increased the amount of water

pumped from limited groundwater
supplies.
Brown announced the mandate
on April 1 standing in the Sierra
Nevada, where the snowpack
measures at 5 percent of historical
average, the lowest in 65 years of
record-keeping.
Addressing agriculture, Brown
said on the broadcast that farmers
asserting century-old water rights
deeply rooted in state law that
allows them access to more water
than others are probably going
to be examined.
After declaring a drought emergency in January 2014, Brown
urged Californians to voluntarily
cut their water use by 20 percent

from the previous year. That

resulted in great variations among
communities and an overall reduction of about 10 percent statewide.
Brown did the same as governor in
1977, during another severe
drought, asking for a voluntary
reduction of 25 percent.
The mandatory order will also
require campuses, golf courses,
cemeteries and other large landscapes to curb their water use.
It is a wakeup call, Brown
said. Its requiring action and
changes in behavior from the
Oregon border all the way to the
Mexican border. It affects lawns.
It affects peoples how long
they stay in the shower, how businesses use water.

Judges rebuked for misconduct

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO A state commission reprimanded 43 California

judges for misconduct in 2014, including two judges who had sex with
women in their chambers, a report
said.
Californias
Commission
on
Judicial Performance publicly reprimanded five of the states 1,800 judges
last year, and it sent private letters to
others, the Los Angeles Times reported Sunday.
The agency documents judicial mis-

conduct every year, but commission

director and chief counsel Victoria B.
Henley said few people know they can
file complaints against judges.
Since 2005, the number of complaints filed against judges has risen
while the percentage of those disciplined has remained relatively flat, the
report said.
The commission has recommended
removing judges from the bench only
six times since 2005. Those cases
involved ticket-fixing and accepting
expensive gifts from lawyers and litigants whose cases were decided by the

judge, Henley said.

Last year, two of the most serious
cases involved judges who had sex in
their chambers. Orange County
Superior Court Judge Scott Steiner, a
former prosecutor and elected judge,
had sex with two former students and
tried to get one a job in the district
attorneys office, the report said.

Deputy police chief resigns amid drug charges

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FRESNO A deputy police chief in

California has resigned amid federal
drug charges, including conspiracy to
distribute oxycodone and heroin,
authorities said Friday.
Deputy Chief Keith Fosters retirement from the Fresno Police
Department was effective immediately, his attorney E. Marshall Hodgkins

said in a statement. Foster, 51, was

among six people arrested last week,
ending a yearlong investigation by
the FBI and ATF that used wiretaps and
surveillance.
After much reflection, and on the
advice of counsel, he has determined
that his effectiveness in the department would be severely limited even if
he is ultimately exonerated of the federal charges currently pending against

him, Hodgkins said in a statement

provided to Fresno Bee.
A 29-year veteran of the department,
Foster was placed on paid administrative leave following his arrest on suspicion of conspiracy to distribute
and/or possess the drugs with the
intent to distribute them. Foster had
overseen patrol in four police districts

Tax refunds take hit from health law

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON As the April

15 tax deadline nears, people who
got help paying for health insurance under President Barack
Obamas law are seeing the direct
effect on their refunds hundreds
of dollars, for better or worse.
The law offers tax credits so
people without access to jobbased health insurance can buy
private coverage. Because these
subsidies are tied to income, consumers must accurately estimate
what they will make for the coming year.
Thats been a challenge for millions of people.
Guess on the low side, get more
help now with premiums, but owe
money later at filing time.
Overestimate income, expect
bucks back from the taxman.
Many consumers may not have
understood that is how it works
when they signed up. Some
experts caution that such complications could discourage uninsured
people from getting covered.
Rob Tuck of Dublin, California,
said he had anticipated a refund of
about $400 on his 2014 taxes. But
that almost has been wiped out
because he had to repay some of
the subsidy. He changed jobs during the year, and his income went

Police: Man shot by police

was arrested day earlier
ORANGE A 31-year-old man
shot and killed by police in
Anaheim had been arrested a day
earlier after running from authorities and crashing his truck into a
construction site, police said
Sunday.
Officers arrested Paul Anderson
after observing him jump over a
wall, get into a truck and drive off
during a separate incident Friday.
He had refused to stop until he
crashed, Anaheim police said in a
statement.
After learning that California
Highway Patrol officers had
observed a large stash of marijuana while trying to serve a traffic
warrant on a 24-year-old woman at
the same home that Anderson had

Kelsey Park started out 2014 in
Dallas, earning good commissions by selling wedding gowns.
She left for graduate school at the
University of Alabama in
Tuscaloosa, and signed up for coverage through the law. She ended
up overestimating her income
because she didnt get another job
as anticipated.
Parks tax refund came to
$2,500, partly because she had
too much income tax withheld and
partly because she received a
smaller health care subsidy than
she was entitled to.
It was hard to estimate what I
would be earning because I was

Anderson then faced additional

Saturday after posting $25,000

went to serve the traffic warrant on
Mayra Frausto and saw her get into
a car with Anderson and a driver.
Officers pulled the vehicle over in
the nearby city of Orange, and
Anderson got out holding a gun,
police said.

The average refund is large
enough to offset any repayment in
most cases, according to the
Treasury Department. The White
House says the Affordable Care Act
is working even better than anticipated.

First year
But this is the first year that the
complicated connections between
the law and the tax system are
playing out for consumers.
Initial reports suggest a fairly
even split between tax-return winners and losers.
Earlier in the filing season, tax
preparation company H&R Block
reported that 52 percent of its customers who got health insurance
subsidies owed money back.
Repayments averaged $530,
reducing expected refunds by 17
percent.
On the other hand, roughly onethird of customers with subsidies
overestimated their incomes. As a
result, their refunds went up by
$365 on average.
In a recent study, the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation
estimated that half those eligible
for a subsidy would owe money,
while 45 percent would receive a
bigger refund.

the Los Angeles Times reported.
Over the past year, volunteers
from local schools led by biologists for the nonprofit Mountains

roughly 44,000 of the crawfish
and sent them to a local wildlife
center to feed possums and raccoons.

The estimated average repayment was $794, and the refund was
$773. The estimates were based on
an analysis of census data about
income changes among people
likely eligible for health care subsidies.
Kaiser calculated that overall
between 4.5 million and 7.5 million households have to account
to the IRS for their subsidies.
This year is a learning experience for consumers and the government alike, said Kaisers
Cynthia Cox. To the extent this
makes people unsure of how much
financial help they are going to
get, it could be a discouragement
for some to sign up.

Tax surprises
To avoid tax surprises, consumers should contact the health
insurance exchange if their
income changes during the year.
Tucker Bush, an AmeriCorps
VISTA volunteer in Tacoma,
Washington, basically broke
even. He ended up giving back
$19 of his subsidy, but not before
he had spent an hour trying to figure out IRS Form 8962, which taxpayers must use to account for
their subsidies.
It caused me a little bit of a
headache, and I have a college
degree, said Bush, who volun-

teers at a nonprofit dental clinic

for children.
If you are trying to help someone who may not have a college
diploma, this is going to be a
nightmare, Bush said.
Bill Preus of St. Petersburg,
Florida, was covered under the
health care law for three months
last year before transitioning to
Medicare because of disability.
Preus once had his own insurance
agency, selling life and health
policies.
He is used to complexity, but
said he never has seen anything
like this.
Preus said he faces the prospect
of paying back close to $4,000
because of poor coordination
between HealthCare.gov and his
insurer, the governments failure
to discontinue his health law subsidy after he went on Medicare,
and forgiveness of a student loan
debt that caused his income to go
up.
There is no one to talk to who
can coordinate when extenuating
circumstances like this come up,
and its a total mess, he said.
Preus said a tax preparer and an
IRS representative both advised
him to file an incomplete return so
as to trigger an audit, suggesting
that may be the best way to
straighten things out.

Rain and snow falling

in Northern California
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Cold weather

bringing rain and snow to
Northern California is expected to
linger through mid-week but do
little to ease a drought gripping
the state, forecasters said Sunday.
The rain that started falling in
San Francisco and coastal mountain ranges to the north early
Sunday turned into snow up at Blue
Canyon northeast of Sacramento
at 5,000 feet in elevation, said
James Mathews, a forecaster for
the National Weather Service in

Sacramento. The snow could reach

elevations down to 3,500 feet, he
said. California is enduring a
fourth drought year. The April 1
snowpack in the Sierra Nevada
measured at a dismal 5 percent of
historical average.
Its too little, too late for this
rainy season, said Mathews, saying the cold front from Alaska
could drop up to 1 foot of snow in
the Tahoe area with more at higher
elevations. The wet weather is
expected through Wednesday, followed by warm temps that will
melt any new snow, he said.

Whites more likely to OK police violence

By Jesse J. Holland
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Whites in the

United States approve of police
officers hitting people in far
greater numbers than blacks and
Hispanics do, at a time when the
country is struggling to deal with
police use of deadly force against
men of color, according to a major
American trend survey.
Seven of 10 whites polled, or 70
percent, said they can imagine a
situation in which they would
approve of a police officer striking an adult male citizen, according to the 2014 General Social
Survey, a long-running measurement of trends in American opinions. When asked the same question Are there any situations
you can imagine in which you
would approve of a policeman
striking an adult male citizen?
42 percent of blacks and 38 per-

cent of Hispanics said they could.

These results come as Americans
grapple with trust between law
enforcement and minority communities after a series of incidents,
including the deaths of Michael
Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and
Eric Garner on Staten Island, New
York, both black men. Thousands
of people protested in the streets
last year after the deaths of 18year-old Brown and 43-year-old
Garner, who gasped I cant
breathe as police arrested him for
allegedly selling loose, untaxed
cigarettes. But the survey shows
the gap between whites, blacks
and Hispanics long predates the
recent incidents.
The results dont surprise experts
on American attitudes toward
police, who say experiences and
history with law enforcement shape
opinions about the use of violence
by officers.
Whites are significantly more

likely to give police officers the

benefit of the doubt, either
because they have never had an
altercation with a police officer or
because they tend to see the police
as allies in the fight against
crime, said Ronald Weitzer, a
George Washington University
sociology professor who has studied race and policing in the U.S.
and internationally.
However, blacks and Hispanics
are more cautious on this issue
because of their personal experiences and/or the historical treatment their groups have experienced at the hands of the police,
which is only recapitulated in
recent disputed killings, he said.
The General Social Survey is conducted by the independent research
organization NORC at the
University of Chicago. Because of
its long-running and comprehensive set of questions about the public, it is a highly regarded source of

data about social trends. Numbers

from the 2014 survey came out last
month, and an analysis of its findings on attitudes toward police and
the criminal justice system was
conducted by the Associated PressNORC Center for Public Affairs
Research and the General Social
Survey.
Deep raci al di v i des ex i s t i n
o ther l aw enfo rcement areas
as wel l :
A larger number of blacks could
approve police striking a murder
suspect who is being questioned:
24 percent, compared to 18 percent of Hispanics and 12 percent
of whites.
At more than half of whites, 69
percent, and half of Hispanics
approve of police hitting suspects
trying to escape from custody but
only 42 percent of blacks
approve.
Two-thirds, or 66 percent, of
whites say they favor the death

penalty for convicted murderers,

while 44 percent of blacks and 48
percent of Hispanics agree.
Almost everyone seemed to
approve of police officers hitting
suspects back when attacked with
fists, but whites again outpaced
blacks and Hispanics with their
approval. Nine in 10 whites
approved of police hitting a person when attacked by fists, with
74 percent of blacks and
Hispanics agreeing.
Charles R. Epp, a University of
Kansas professor and author of the
book about race and police stops,
said the majority of whites believe
they are going to get reasonable
and fair treatment from officers.
My strong sense is that African
Americans and Hispanics have too
often experienced or have heard of
experiences of police officers acting unfairly, so theyre less willing to support the use of force by
police officers, Epp said.

Indiana faces a long journey to

restore image after religious law
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

INDIANAPOLIS Indiana tourism agencies are rolling out campaigns emphasizing

that everyone is welcome, but it might not
be enough to quickly restore the states battered image after a backlash over its religious objections law.
An uproar sparked by fears that the law
would allow discrimination against gays
and lesbians led a few convention organizers and performers to cancel events and
some state and local governments to ban
travel to the state last week. Revisions to
the laws language have eased some of the
criticism, but experts say the state could be
dealing with a damaged reputation for years
to come.
In a sign that Indiana is still under close
scrutiny, hundreds of gay rights supporters
marched to the site of the NCAA Final Four
in Indianapolis on Saturday as college basketball fans were arriving for the games.
The marches called for the state to go further
and enshrine in its civil rights law protection for gays and lesbians.
Chris Gahl, vice president of Visit Indy,
the lead promoter for Indianapolis, said he

has been in full crisis mode since the furor

erupted after Gov. Mike Pence signed the
law late last month.
Gahl said Visit Indy received more than
800 emails from people saying they were
canceling trips for events such as the
Indianapolis 500 or choosing a different
vacation destination. The agency has been
scrambling to prevent groups and businesses from either pulling out of negotiations
for future conventions or canceling upcoming events altogether.
Two groups, including the public employee union AFSCME, have canceled conventions, and Gahl said two others were on the
fence. He put the economic impact of those
events at a healthy eight figures.
What keeps us up at night is the fact that
75,000 people depend on tourism for a paycheck, Gahl said. And if we dont fill the
city with conventions and visitors, they
dont work.
The crisis isnt confined to Indianapolis.
Fort Wayne, the states second-largest city,

Gunman in massacre was govt officials son

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GARISSA, Kenya One of the

gunmen who slaughtered 148 people at a college in Kenya was identified Sunday as the law-schooleducated son of a Kenyan government official, underscoring the
inroads Islamic extremists have
made in recruiting young people
to carry out attacks against their
own country.
Abdirahim
Mohammed
Abdullahi, who was killed by security forces Thursday along with
the three other militants who
stormed Garissa University
College, was the son of a government chief in Mandera County,
which borders Somalia, Interior
Ministry spokesman Mwenda
Njoka told The Associated Press.

REUTERS

A relative is assisted by a Kenya Red Cross staff as she reacts where

bodies of the students killed in Thursdays attack by gunmen are preserved
at the Chiromo Mortuary in the capital Nairobi Sunday.

The chief had reported his son

missing last year and feared he had
gone to Somalia, Njoka said.
Somalias al-Shabab militant
group claimed responsibility for
the bloodbath, saying it was retribution for Kenyas sending of
troops to Somalia to fight the
extremists. The attackers separated Christian students from Muslim
ones
and
massacred
the
Christians.
The news that one of the gunmen was Kenyan highlights the
challenges faced by the government in preventing terrorist
attacks. The danger comes not
only from neighboring Somalia
but also from within Kenya.
Kenyans make up the largest
number of foreign fighters in alShabab, according to experts.

Hundreds of Kenyan youths have

trained with al-Shabab and then
returned to Kenya, posing a major
security threat, according to former police chief Mathew Iteere.
Kenyas government has said
another source of instability is the
countrys refugee camps, with
more than 423, 000 Somali
refugees.
Abdullahi graduated from the
University of Nairobi with a law
degree in 2013 and was seen as a
brilliant upcoming lawyer,
according to Njoka.
Njoka said it is important for
parents to inform authorities if
their children disappear or seem to
be embracing extremism.
Meanwhile, questions have
been raised about the security
response to the Garissa attack.

Israel prepares Pope, thousands brave rain for Easter

lobbying strategy
against Iran deal
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

By Josef Federman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JERUSALEM Israels prime

minister on Sunday urged world
powers to step up pressure on Iran
as they finalize a nuclear deal in
the coming months, saying there
was still time to improve what he
said was a deeply flawed framework agreement reached last week.
Prime
Minister
Benjamin
Netanyahus appearances on multiple American TV news programs
on Sunday signaled the launch of
what is expected to be a furious
lobbying effort to scuttle or
reshape a deal that he has criticized
as bad and a threat to Israels
very existence. A document drawn
up by experts in Netanyahus
office, obtained by The Associated
Press, gives a glimpse of the arguments the Israeli leader is going to
raise, targeting vague language in
the system of inspections and its

failure to address issues beyond

the nuclear program.
The framework agreement was
announced on Thursday in
Lausanne, Switzerland, by U.S.led world powers and Iran after
years of negotiations.
The deal aims to cut significantly into Irans bomb-making technology while giving Tehran relief
from international sanctions. The
commitments, if implemented,
would substantially pare down
Iranian nuclear assets for a decade
and restrict others for an additional five years.
Netanyahu believes the deal
leaves too much of Irans suspect
nuclear program intact, would give
it quick relief from economic sanctions and create an easy path for
the Islamic Republic to gain the
ability to produce a bomb. He also
says the deal fails to address Irans
support for militant groups across
the Middle East.

VATICAN CITY In an Easter

peace wish, Pope Francis on
Sunday praised the framework
nuclear agreement with Iran as an
opportunity to make the world
safer, while expressing deep worry
about bloodshed in Libya, Yemen,
Syria, Iraq, Nigeria and elsewhere
in Africa.
Cautious hope ran through
Francis Urbi et Orbi Easter
message, a kind of papal commentary on the state of the worlds
affairs, which he delivered from
the central balcony of St. Peters
Square.
He had just celebrated Mass in
rain-whipped St. Peters Square for
tens of thousands of people, who
huddled under umbrellas or braved
the downpour in thin, plastic rainslickers.
Easter day is so beautiful, and
so ugly because of the rain,
Francis said after Mass about
Christianitys most important
feast day. He expressed thanks for
the flowers which bedecked the
square and which were donated by
the Netherlands, but the bright

soms seemed muted by the gray
skies.
Francis made his first public
comments about the recent framework for an accord, reached in
Lausanne, Switzerland, and aimed
at ensuring Iran doesnt develop a
nuclear weapon.
In hope we entrust to the merciful Lord the framework recently
agreed to in Lausanne, that it may
be a definitive step toward a more

secure and fraternal world.

Decrying the plentitude of
weapons in the world in general,
Francis said: And we ask for
peace for this world subjected to
arms dealers, who earn their living
with the blood of men and
women.
He denounced absurd bloodshed
and all barbarous acts of violence
in Libya, convulsed by fighting
fueled by tribal and militia rivalries. He hoped a common desire
for peace would prevail in Yemen,
wracked by civil warfare.
Francis prayed that the roar of
arms may cease in Syria and Iraq,
and that peace would come in
Africa for Nigeria, South Sudan,
Sudan and Congo.
He recalled the young people,
many of them targeted because
they were Christians, killed last
week in a Kenyan university, and
lamented kidnappings, by Islamic
extremists, that have plagued
parts of Africa, including Nigeria.
He also cited bloodshed closer to
home, in Ukraine, praying that
the Eastern European nation would
rediscover peace and hope
thanks to the commitment of all
interested parties.

An uncommon parental journey

By George L. Rodriguez

I remember that memorable day in

1996 when our son was born, I excitedly ran into the waiting room shouting, We have a boy! We have a baby
boy! The room full of family and
friends erupted in happy cheers. All
the dreams my wife Gina and I had for
our precious son. As time moved on
our son met most of his early developmental milestones. Then, at about
22 months old his play, social, language and life skills took a dramatic
180 degree nosedive. We knew something was wrong only, we thought he
was deeply affected by seeing his dad
so sick. In 1998 I was battling an
advanced case of cancer. A malignant
tennis ball-sized tumor was compressing my windpipe nearly closed. After
grueling cancer treatment, I was given
a clean bill of health. Still, my sons
developmental decline continued.
A child psychiatrist diagnosed my
son with autism.
Fast forward to 2015. My son
Casey is now a friendly and high-spir-

ited young adult. He

has a terric sense
of humor and he is
an avid passionate
sports fan. Our
roller-coaster journey as parent and
child is different.
Though, different is
OK. Some people

April is autism awareness month
and it is important to note diagnoses
have skyrocketed upward. No matter
what the actual numbers, the alarming
rise in autism is too much. Scientists,
geneticists and researchers are trying
hard to nd concrete answers. Still,
autism remains a mystery.
There is hope. With a solid plan, a
skilled team of helpers and consistent
action, continual and amazing
progress is possible. We can each do
our part with patience, understanding
and educating ourselves about autism.
Volunteering and donations to autism
organizations are appreciated. Also,
when we see someone with autism or

the parent having a difcult time, a

casual glance and positive support are
welcomed. Not xated stares or insensitive comments. Our strength, creativity and passion can turn everyday
challenges into joyous breakthrough
moments.

Letters to the editor

In support of the ice rink
Editor,
If the ice rink is protable, it needs
to stay (New plan, but no ice rink
in the April2 edition of the Daily
Journal). I encourage the San Mateo
City Council to vote for the rink.
There are too many of our recreation
opportunities going to development
and the almighty dollar. Does Bay
Meadows (San Mateo) sound familiar?
How about bowling alleys, Playland
at the Beach (San Francisco), Frontier
Village (San Jose), Marine World
(Redwood Shores), public shing

Hartnett appointment to head Caltrain
why?
Editor,
The scandalous appointment of Jim
Hartnett to head Caltrain and
SamTrans raises so many questions.
Hartnetts only qualication for the
position seems to be he knows all of
the board members, for he simply
fails completely at meeting the prerequisites for the position which were
clearly spelled out in the recruitment
letter which advertised the position.
There is simply no justication at
all for this appointment; it is pure

political cronyism.
Just what is going on at
Caltrain?What about the whistleblower complaint led against
Caltrain and investigated by NBC?
What about Caltrain spending $231
million for a Positive Train Control
system, while MetroLink, down
south, spends one-half of that amount
for their system, and their system has
10 times the track length of Caltrain,
and is therefore much more complicated to implement.
Is what is going on at Caltrain
analogous to the scandal in Bell,
California?
A full investigation needs to be
started promptly.

Overpopulation in the Bay Area

Editor,
I have recently had the unfortunate
pleasure of being a commuter in the
Bay Area and the obvious overpopulation is astounding. It is really hard to
enjoy this beautiful place when there
are too many people in it. I may be
naive but why isnt overpopulation a
concern or being addressed here in the
Bay Area?

he Literary Society and the San Mateo Library

Foundation are gearing up for their main fundraiser
of the year on Saturday night, April 25 at the
Peninsula Golf and Country Club. This years author is
Joyce Carol Oates who will read from her newly released
book The Sacrice. This is the fourth gala. Previous
events have been sellouts and have raised funds to keep
the main library open on
Sunday and to increase hours
at all libraries. The main
library now opens at 10 a.m.
instead of 11 a.m.
Literary Society volunteers
arrange the entire event from
the sponsors, the locale, the
menu and most important,
selecting the author. Last year
it was Scott Berg and his
biography of Woodrow
Wilson; before that Julie and
Julia and for the very rst
gala guests heard from the
author of The Kite Runner.
Chairs of this years gala are Tina Crisci, Antoinette
McElroy and Rada Zarandian.
In addition to maintaining longer library hours, this
years event hopes to raise revenue through Fund-a-Need
for more high-tech equipment for library users, many of
whom who do not have computers or hand-held touchscreen devices with custom designed applications. Many
community members cannot afford the most
current versions of these, may not know how to use
them, why they would want to use them, or do not have
everyday access to the wireless technology that makes
these devices so powerful. This years Fund-a-Need effort
will help the library provide greater information technology access to the entirety of the community, to help families and individuals build comfort with a range of handheld devices, and to support current ways to gain access to
information and services online. While tickets for the
gala itself are sold out, donations can still be made by
calling (650) 558-9100 or visiting http://www.smlibraryfoundation.org.

The Sacrice is a ctionalized retelling of the hoax
perpetrated by Tawana Brawley and the Rev. Al Sharpton
in 1987-88. Brawley gained notoriety as a teenage girl by
falsely accusing six white men, including local police and
a prosecuting attorney, of rape. The case received much
media attention primarily encouraged by Sharpton and
several attorneys. But The Sacrice is also a fairly accurate representation of what life is like for minority residents in many urban cities. The novel realistically portrays the animosity and fear which residents feel for their
local police and visa versa. Oates novel has hit a sensitive chord coming on the heels of Ferguson and other similar confrontations between white police ofcers and
black men, even though it was written several years ago.
Henry Louis Gates, professor of African and African
American research at Harvard University, writes she
reminds us of what is too easily lost in our world of
instant and quickly forgotten news that there is a story
behind, and in between, every word of a press release, that
pauses in a court transcripts are novels waiting to be written, and that pain, fear and ambition bind us together in
common humanity even as they pull us apart.

Benefits from solid hiring not seen

By Josh Boak
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Steady hiring

is supposed to fire up economic
growth.
Cheap gasoline is supposed to
power consumer spending.
Falling unemployment is supposed to boost wages.
Low mortgage rates are supposed to spur home buying.
Americas economic might is
supposed to benefit its workers.
Yet all those common assumptions about how an economy
thrives appear to have broken
down during the first three months
of 2015.
The economic benefits that normally would flow after a full year
of solid hiring have yet to emerge.
Just 126,000 jobs were added in
March, the government said
Friday. Average weekly paychecks
fell.
Restaurants cut back on hiring
because savings at the gas pump
didnt lead to more dinner reservations. Builders and manufacturers
each cut 1,000 workers from payrolls, thanks to tepid construction
activity and so-so factory orders.
Had Fridays report been
released a few days earlier, it
would have been laughed at as a
great April Fools joke, said
Gregory Daco, head of U.S. macroeconomics at Oxford Economics.
The middling gains confirm evidence elsewhere of a broad economic slowdown. During the first
three months of the year, the
Atlanta Federal Reserve forecasts
that the economy actually came to
a standstill failing to grow at
all.
Some of the first quarters slowdown is no doubt due to an especially harsh winter. Yet nearly six

years into the recovery from the

Great Recession, the economys
muddled
progress
seems
inescapable. A long-awaited
breakout remains elusive, suggesting that the economys direction has never been quite as simple as some analysts, politicians
and bar stool philosophers would
have it.
Now, some analysts are pointing to factors that might have
been downplayed or overlooked
this year. Others are holding to
their projections about the economy as it theoretically should be.
After all, they reason, March may
prove to be a hiccup akin to what
happened in 2014, when a firstquarter slump was followed by a
burst of growth in the ensuing
months.
Here are five factors that help
explain why the U.S. economy
isnt accelerating as you might
expect.
NASTY WEATHER
For parts of the United States, it
felt like endless winter. The snowfall and frigid temperatures that
lingered until the closing days of
March can freeze economic
growth.
Construction crews built fewer
homes: On a seasonally adjusted
basis, builders broke ground on 17
percent fewer homes between
January and February. Shoppers
skipped visits to the mall and auto
dealers, choosing instead to crank
up the thermostat. Retail sales fell
in January and February.
Losses to construction and
some moderation in retail hiring
relative to last year suggest unusually harsh winter weather played
some role in explaining the weakness, said Diane Swonk, chief
economist at Mesirow Financial.
If weather was a culprit, it might

actually be an encouraging fact. It

would mean that the economy
remains fundamentally healthy
something that would become evident once the clouds lift and the
sun emerges in spring.
And that would be exactly what
occurred last year.
Still, Swonk cautions that
weather explains some but not
all of the disappointing growth.
STRONG DOLLAR
Many U.S. factories ship their
wares around the world. But
because the U. S. economy has
fared better than its trade partners,
U.S. factories are now at a disadvantage: Americas relative health
has helped drive up the dollars
international value. Goods from
U.S. factories are about 20 percent
costlier in Europe than a year ago,
an increase that has dampened
sales. So the U.S. economys very
strength has helped create a weakness.
Which is why Maryland-based
Marlin Steel has held off on plans
to hire more metal workers.
Its not just me selling into
Europe its all of my clients
selling into Europe, said Drew
Greenblatt, president of Marlin
Steel. Theyre all dealing with
the pain.
OILS SLICK MOVES
A barrel of crude oil costs under
$50, having more than halved in
price since June. This means wells
are pumping out smaller profits, if
not losses. When oil prices
plunge and billions of dollars are
at stake, oil companies tend to
respond quickly to curb production. The number of active rigs
has fallen 50 percent since
October, according to Baker
Hughes, the oilfield services company. This has led to layoffs,
tighter budgets and fewer orders

for equipment, all which hurt

growth.
Consumers, by contrast, have
yet to respond to their savings
from cheaper gasoline by spending much more. The lag means
that the oil companies cutbacks
have yet to be offset by greater
retail spending. So the economy
has suffered all the downside,
while the upside has yet to appear,
said Carl Tannenbaum, chief economist at Northern Trust.
Tannenbaum predicts that consumers will eventually respond to
gas prices, which are on average
33 percent lower than a year ago.
When they finally do, the economy should perk up.
MEAGER PAY RAISES
Its hard for consumers to spend
more if their paychecks barely
move. Average annual wage
growth is stuck at a meager 2.1
percent even as the U.S. unemployment rate has tumbled over
the past year to a near-normal 5.5
percent from 6. 6 percent. And
average hours worked declined last
month, causing workers to earn
even less than they did in
February.
In theory, the hiring surge that
occurred over the past year should
lead to higher wages. After all,
when the unemployment rate
falls, it usually becomes harder for
companies to hire capable workers, forcing them to offer better
pay. But despite recent raises at
McDonalds, Wal-Mart and other
companies with lower-paid workers, theres little evidence that pay
growth is accelerating.
It might be that the unemployment rate needs to fall even further. The Federal Reserve now
says a normal economy should
have a rate as low as 5 percent.
But another possibility is that a

sizable pool of workers remains

available around the world, providing cheap labor that suppresses wage growth in the United
States. In recent years, the global
labor pool has added more than
3.5 billion working-age people
from emerging economies. This
increase can suppress U.S. pay
growth, said Megan Greene, chief
economist at John Hancock Asset
Management.
If you have that many jobs
globally, its hard to see why
wages would be pushed up in a sustainable way, she said.
Consider the housing market.
Since home prices bottomed in
2012, theyve surged at a 13-1
ratio compared with raises,
according to an analysis by
RealtyTrac, a real estate information company. Without rising
incomes to save for a down payment and cover monthly mortgage
payments, most people who hope
to own a home cant take advantage of historically low mortgage
rates. This has led to sales running
below last years pace.
GOING AUTOMATIC
The U.S. economy is undergoing seismic technological shifts.
And many employers are finding
automation preferable to hiring. A
survey of Harvard Business
School alumni released in
September found that nearly half
would rather invest in technology
than hire or retain workers. This
displacement can undermine the
usual connection between falling
unemployment and rising wages.
Even smaller employers are
turning to tech. Recent job ads
failed to produce enough qualified
applicants at Massachusetts-based
retailer Daves Soda and Pet City,
which sells soda and pet food at
seven locations.

Exporting Philly: Cheesesteaks, ices and pretzels go global

By Michael R. Sisak
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHILADELPHIA The man

intent on taking the Philly
cheesesteak global saw a familiar
sight from home on a recent trip
to Florida: a Wawa.
The hoagie-making, coffeebrewing convenience and gas
chain from the Philadelphia area is
pushing hard into the Sunshine
State, opening more than 60
stores since 2012 with another 25
planned by the end of the year.
Albie Misci, sales director at
cheesesteak chain Tony Lukes,
knows the idea.
Hes helping take Phillys most
famous culinary treat to Florida,
California and even the Middle
Eastern nation of Bahrain.

The cheesesteak has grown

from a Philadelphia sandwich, a
local food, to a national sandwich.
Everyones familiar with it,
Misci said in a recent interview.
When were in Las Vegas or in
L.A., theyll come up to us and
say, Hey, Tony Lukes, youre
from Philly!
Other staples from the City of

Brotherly Love, including its

beloved soft pretzels and water
ice, are also going global, as their
Philadelphia-based
purveyors
aggressively expand into national
and international chains.
Tony Lukes has 22 stores,
seven more in development and
plans to grow to 360 locations
within a decade.
Philly Pretzel Factory, started in
1998 as a single stand by friends
who hawked pretzels as kids on
the side of a busy Philadelphia
boulevard, has 150 stores and
plans to open 350 more and break
into the international market by
2020.
Ritas Italian Ice, already up to
600 stores in the U.S., is expanding into six Middle Eastern countries and is looking to Canada and

Mexico for further growth.

Ritas chief development officer, Eric Taylor, said its
Philadelphia-bred franchisees
and customers whove relocated
from the city or vacationers hitting the beach, the theme parks or
Phillies spring training have
an emotional connection to the
product.
They want to bring water ice
out to Arizona or Utah or wherever
they are now, Taylor said of the
sugary frozen treat, which is more
sorbet than snow cone. They take
pride in bringing a Philly staple
back to their home market.
Wawa skipped straight from its
footprint in five mid-Atlantic
states to Florida, where census
data shows 3 percent of residents
are natives of Pennsylvania and 8

percent are from other northeast

states.
The company has stores in the
Orlando and Tampa areas popular
with retirees and tourists
including the one Misci saw near
the
Phillies complex
in
Clearwater. Its opening three
stores at once next week in Fort
Myers.
Wawa spokeswoman Lori Bruce
said the reception has been so
strong in Florida, the company
will continue to open 25 new
stores there and 25 in the midAtlantic further into northern
New Jersey and south into
Virginia each year.
Across the company and
employee-owned chain, its madeto-order Philadelphia-style hoagies remain a top seller.

High-efficiency wood heating systems winning converts

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATHENS, N.Y. With the touch

of a finger on an iPod-style
screen, Eric Besenfelder can monitor and troubleshoot the shiny,
wood-pellet furnace that heats
Athens Elementary School in the
Hudson Valley.
Like the smoky, outdoor wood
boilers that have proliferated in
rural areas over the past 20 years,
the wood furnace at Athens is
housed in a shed behind the building. But thats where the similarity
ends.
This burns very cleanly and produces very little ash, said

Besenfelder, director of facilities

for the Coxsackie-Athens School
District, beside the Hudson River
30 miles south of Albany. It takes
no more maintenance than an oil
boiler. Everythings automated.
Athens is among a growing
number of schools, government
buildings, nature centers and
homes that have switched from
fossil fuels to renewable wood
heat in Northern states to save
money and support the local
forestry economy.
At least 10 states offer incentives including grants, low-interest loans, tax credits and training
programs to promote biomass

heating, according to the Alliance

for Green Heat. The New York
Energy
Research
and
Development Authority is offering homeowners 25 percent of the
installed cost of an advanced
wood-pellet boiler up to $20,000,
with a $4,000 bonus if theyre
replacing a smoky old-fashioned
wood boiler. Large commercial
installations can get 25 percent of
the cost, up to $150,000.
The Northern Forest Center, a
nonprofit based in Concord, New
Hampshire, is promoting the biomass heat industry by subsidizing
the installation of high-efficiency
pellet boilers in model neighbor-

hoods. The idea is to create a critical mass of users to increase

familiarity with the systems and
demonstrate their value.
The first such neighborhood was
launched
in
Berlin,
New
Hampshire, in 2011, and includes
40 homes, an arts center and two
housing complexes. Homeowners
have saved close to $160,000 on
heating fuel by switching to pellets from oil heat, according to
Northern Forest Center director
Maura Adams. The idea is catching
on beyond the model neighborhood, with about 300 pellet boiler
installations statewide, she said.
Model neighborhoods have also

been launched in Maine and

Vermont, and most recently, in the
Adirondacks, where the project
subsidized a pellet boiler in the
Saranac Town Hall last November.
Jerry Delaney, a Saranac councilman, said the town expects to save
$1,000 a year by heating with pellets instead of oil.
According to the Northern
Forest Center, the Northeast consumes more than 80 percent of the
U.S. supply of home heating oil
and spends more than $6 billion
annually on fossil fuels. Rural
areas usually have no access to
natural gas, the cheapest and
cleanest-burning fossil fuel.

Lon Simmons dies at 91

Hall of Fame announcer coined Tell it goodbye! home run call
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Lon Simmons
1923-2015

SAN FRANCISCO Lon Simmons, a

Hall of Fame broadcaster whose career
spanned five decades calling San Francisco
Giants, Oakland Athletics and 49ers games,
died Sunday. He was 91.
The Giants announced that Simmons had
died peacefully, saying, The Giants family and Bay Area sports community lost a
true gentleman.
Simmons was one of the original voices
of the Giants when they moved West in
1958, and he covered Hall of Famers Willie
Mays and Willie McCovey, Juan Marichal,
Gaylord Perry and Orlando Cepeda.
Like many fans, my earliest Giants mem-

ories were listening to Lon and Russ on my

transistor radio, Giants President and CEO
Larry Baer said. Hearing his broadcasts
ignited my and thousands of others passion
for Giants baseball. He will be deeply
missed by all of us.
Simmons called Oaklands victory in the
earthquake-interrupted 1989 Bay Bridge
World Series, with that booming voice,
announcing, The As have won the World
Series in a sweep!
Over three stints with the Giants,
Simmons considered one of his greatest
thrills getting to call Mays 600th home
run. His signature phrase on the longball
became, Tell it goodbye!
If they had a Nobel Prize for baseball,
Willie would have won it, Simmons said

during Mays 80th birthday festivities in

May 2011.
He also announced many of home run
king Barry Bonds drives during his pursuit.
R.I.P (hash)LonSimmons you will forever be in our hearts. Broadcasting Bay Area
sports since 1958, Bonds posted on
Twitter.
But Simmons, who was honored with the
Ford C. Frick Award by the Hall of Fame in
2004, also had a famous call on Hall of
Fame quarterback Steve Youngs epic, backand-forth game-winning scramble for 49
yards against the Minnesota Vikings on
Oct. 30, 1988, that still lives in the memories of Bay Area sports fans.

Saints score critical

comeback over CSM

Things just got a lot more interesting in the Coast Golden Gate
Conference.
College of San Mateo baseball
entered the weekend atop the conference standings, one game ahead
of second-place De AnzaCupertino and two games ahead of

Mission (10-5 in Coast Golden

runs in the eighth to draw to within a run. Then in the ninth, with
runners at the corners and two

SAN JOSE Javier Morales scored his

ninth goal in 15 career meetings with San

San Joses Sanna Nyassi fed Adam Jahn

Shaun Francis went to the San Jose (2-3-0)

TAMPA, Fla. Notre Dame keeps finding

ways to win. One more victory and the Irish
will be national champions again.
A young team that lost three starters from
last years squad is back in the NCAA title
game after fighting off a gallant comeback
by Final Four newcomer South Carolina 6665 on Sunday night.
All-American Jewell Loyd scored 22
points as the Irish (36-2) advanced to the
championship game for the fourth time in
five years, but it took a basket from an
unlikely source to survive a scoring drought
that lasted more than seven minutes down
the stretch.
Madison Cables putback for her only
points of the night put the Irish in front for
good.
I was just crashing any way to try to get
a rebound, and it kind of just bounced right
where I was, Cable said. I turned around
and had an open shot and took it. Luckily, it
went in.
Loyd said no one boxed out Cable on her
game-winning basket, adding: Shes done
it all year. Shes the MVP.
Now, Notre Dame will face two-time defending champion Connecticut (37-1) Tuesday
night in a rematch of last years title game.

We didnt rebound,

Madison Cable Just a great basketball
game. We went to Jewell.
She had to do everything. Everyone contributed.
Notre Dame is looking to win it all for the
first time since McGraw led them to their
only national title in 2001.
South Carolina (34-3) overcame a 12point, first-half deficit and did it again in
the closing minutes. The feisty Gamecocks
used a 13-0 run to take their only lead on
Aleighsa Welchs offensive stickback with
1:12 remaining.
It came down to them making a play

said.
Brianna Turner scored 17 points and
grabbed eight rebounds before fouling out
for Notre Dame. Taya Reimer had 16 points
for Notre Dame.
Freshman Aja Wilson came off the bench
to lead South Carolina with 20 points. She

scored 10 straight for the Gamecocks at one

point in the second half to keep her
resilient team within striking distance.
Notre Dame led 64-52 with 7:51 to go. The
Irish missed eight straight shots before
Cable wiped out South Carolinas short-lived
lead. South Carolina All-American Tiffany
Mitchells off-balance 3-point attempt
bounced high off the backboard as time ran

Mitchell fell to the court in dejection and
was helped up by teammates.
They were making it hard for me to try
and find a shot. And when I tried to pass it,
they deflected it, said Mitchell, who finished with 11 points on 5-of-11 shooting.
The Gamecocks hurt themselves, going 7
for 16 from the foul line, and missing six of
seven in the closing minutes while they
were trying to catch up.
Thats key. We left a lot of points at the
free throw-line, Staley said. But you
know, still we overcame that to put ourselves in a position to take the lead.
Notre Dame lost to Connecticut in a
matchup of unbeaten teams in last years

UConn returns to

By Doug Feinberg

TAMPA, Fla. Breanna

Stewart and Morgan Tuck
have UConn back in the
championship game for the
third straight year. Now the
Huskies are one victory away
from a third straight title.
Stewart scored 25 points
and Tuck added 24 to lead
UConn to an 81-58 win over
Maryland on Sunday in the
Final Four.
UConn will face Notre
Dame for the title on Tuesday
night in a rematch of last

championship
game.
Every time we play Notre
Dame, its something. I just
have a lot of respect for what
theyve been able to do,
UConn
coach
Geno
Auriemma said. Theyve
got a heck of a team and their
team has gotten a lot better
as the season has gone on.
Jewells a great player, obviously, but all their other
players have gotten significantly better since the
beginning of the season.
The Huskies have won
nine titles overall and a victory over the Irish would tie
Auriemma with vaunted
UCLA mens coach John
Wooden for the most alltime with 10. It would also
be the second three-peat for
UConn, which won three
straight
championships
from 2002-04.
Making the Final Four
seems like a rite of spring

they

Auriemma said. If you make
a mistake on their guards,
youve got the big guys to
deal with. We needed to try
and make sure that we only
gave up one thing, that we
didnt give up both. So we
tried to concentrate on taking away their 3s, which
theyre really good at. And
then try to create some mismatches on this end with
Tuck and Stewie because I
thought thats where we had
the advantage.
These guys are great to
coach. You give them a game
plan and they followed it.
Stewart, who was The
Associated Press Player of
the Year for the second
straight season, added eight
rebounds.
The loss ended a schoolrecord 28-game winning
streak for Maryland, which
hasnt won in its four meetings with the Huskies.
Brionna Jones scored 14

added 12 to lead the

Warriors win streak snapped by Spurs

By Raul Dominguez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN ANTONIO The Golden State

Warriors have steamrolled teams for
the past month, but they ran into a
huge roadblock named Kawhi Leonard.
Leonard matched his career-high
with 26 points and set a career-high
with seven steals and San Antonio
rolled past Golden State 107-92 on
Sunday, snapping the Warriors 12game winning streak while extending
its own to seven straight.
Kawhi was magnificent at both
ends of the court, San Antonio coach
Gregg Popovich said. He is really
playing confidently, but he hasnt forgotten to predicate his game on
defense and on the boards. It kind of
fuels him offensively.
The surging Spurs won for the 17th
time in 20 games and also extended
their home winning streak over the
Warriors to 32 straight.
Tim Duncan had 19 points and
Danny Green added 18 points for San
Antonio (51-26), which led by as
many as 28 points against the
Western Conferences top seed.
Stephen Curry had 24 points, but
was harassed into 9-for-17 shooting
by Leonard. Klay Thompson was held
to six points on 3-for-11 shooting for
Golden State (51-27).
Kawhi was phenomenal, he was the
best player on the floor, Warriors
coach Steve Kerr said. It was Kawhis
night.
A battle between the teams with the
longest active winning streaks in the

league grew one-sided quickly with
Leonard firmly imprinting his stamp
on the game.
This is the first time I think since
Christmas that we havent really been
in a game, Curry said. Well be fine
going forward.
Leonard, who did not play in the
fourth quarter, was 11-for-17 shooting, but it was defense that proved
key.
Curry had 13 straight points for
Golden State in a two-minute stretch
early in the second half, pulling the
Warriors within 67-53 with three 3pointers. The Spurs snuffed the rally
by having Leonard defend the
Warriors sharpshooter.
Leonard would strip Curry near the

3-point line in his first defensive

assignment after the switch, batting
the ball with his left hand from
Currys right-handed dribble and raced
downcourt for an emphatic one-handed
dunk ahead of Draymond Green.
He was frustrating those guys by
getting deflections and getting a lot
of hands on basketballs, Spurs forward Danny Green said.
Half of Leonards steals came from
direct swipes off Currys dribbling,
but did the Finals MVP get an added
sense of satisfaction from shutting
down Curry.
Not really, Leonard said. I mean
hes a great player and I just get joy in
my heart when Im playing a game out
there. Just trying to do my job.

red hot sticks for

There are some striking similarities

between the Stanford and Kansas University
baseball teams this season.
Albeit in two different conferences, both
are off to abysmal starts in conference play.
The Cardinal winless in Pac-12 play
were swept by Washington over the weekend, falling to 0-9 in conference games.
Kansas also suffered a sweep in conference
play over the weekend, dropping three
straight to Oklahoma to fall to 1-5 in Big
12 Conference games.
Despite the teams recent struggles, each
feature red-hot offensive performances from
San Mateo County-based players.
Kansas sophomore Michael Tinsley has
been on quite a tear. Despite his Jayhawks
getting swept in Oklahoma, the left-handed
hitting Serra graduate hit for a 6-for-14 clip.
In his last eight games, Tinsley has posted
five three-hit performances. He currently
paces Kansas in two triple-crown categories, leading the team with a .354 batting
average and 26 RBIs.
Whats really sad is our record doesnt
show who we are, Tinsley said. This last
weekend we got swept, but we played very
well.
The Jayhawks led in two of the three
games. They let a substantial lead get away
last Thursday as Oklahoma rallied to tie it
with four runs in the bottom of the ninth
before walking off with a 7-6 victory in the
10th. Sunday, Kansas trailed for most of the
game but jumped ahead 7-6 in the top of the
eighth. Oklahoma tied it in the bottom of
the frame before rallying for another walkoff win in the 10th.
Its really time for us to start turning it
around, Tinsley said. The best thing to do
after you get swept is to come out and win a
series and we understand that.

Despite the bobble, CSMs relay throw

But the speedy sophomore followed Lees
animated cue to the outside of the plate and
took advantage of the sliding lane.
He slides around the catcher, touches the
plate with his hand and scores the run, Lee

took a no-decision to continue his toughluck season. The sophomore right-hander
departed after the sixth inning with a 6-1

around Kimbrel, whom Preller called an Alevel performer.
Taking on the remaining $46.35 million on

price for landing Kimbrel, who is owed a guaranteed $34 million. Melvin Upton was placed
on the DL Saturday with a left foot injury.

Preller said the Padres werent necessarily

motivated to try to get Melvin and Justin
together as brothers. It was a situation
where we felt overall the deal fit for us and
we attempted to go out and add quality
pieces to get Craig Kimbrel in this deal.
Kimbrel led the NL for the second-straight
year with 47 saves after saving 50 games in
2013, which tied Baltimores Jim Johnson for
the major league lead. Kimbrel was tied for most
in the NL in both 2011 (46) and 2012 (42).

New-look As Giants open World Series defense

PHOENIX Madison Bumgarner was 0-3

with a 4.91 ERA in six spring training starts.
No need to worry about the San Francisco
Giants ace. The left-hander feels good and is
coming off one of the most dominating postseason performances ever.
No matter what anybody else expects, it
will not be as much as the expectations I

Bumgarner and the World Series champions certainly will have expectations following them when they open the season Monday
against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Last season, the Giants won their third
title in five seasons after outlasting the
Kansas City Royals in seven games.
Bumgarner carried the heaviest load for San
Francisco, going 4-1 in the postseason,
including 2-0 with a 0.43 ERA and a Game 7
save in the World Series.

behind him, though.

Giants manager Brucy Bochy said. Thats how
we like to play every game, that its the most
important game of the year. Opening day is
that day. Its an important game. It probably
helps set the tone a little bit.
The Diamondbacks are just hoping to be
better after a dismal 2014 season.
Plagued by injuries and inconsistencies,
Arizona finished 64-98 last year, worst in the
majors and second-worst in franchise history
behind its first season in 1998.
The Diamondbacks began a roster purge at

the trade deadline and continued to overhaul

the roster during the offseason.
They had plenty of competition during
spring training and have some good players
on offense, particularly with All-Star first
baseman Paul Goldschmidt and center fielder
A.J. Pollock healthy.
The key in the desert, though, will be
pitching.
Arizona will start the season with two
members of its rotation, Bronson Arroyo and
Patrick Corbin, still recovering from Tommy
John surgery.
The Diamondbacks will start the season
with right-hander Josh Collmenter as their
No. 1 starter.
The over-the-top-throwing right-hander
opened his career as a starter, spent time as a
long relieve and was back to being a starter
again last season.
Collmenters hard work and solid numbers
31-27, 3.42 ERA in four seasons earned
him the starting nod on opening day.
Its an incredible honor to be the guy to
take the ball the first day and hopefully set
the tone for the season, get us off to a good
start and we can get some momentum early,
Collmenter said.

his work. Simmons often took shots at himself and that humor became part of his charm,
along with his baritone voice and personable
nature.
I felt that Candlestick and I were soulmates: We were both big and ugly, we were
both windy and they could never figure out
how to get rid of either one of us, Simmons
said. As John Brodie used to say about
Candlestick, he said, We have the advantage
when we play at home, I have the advantage
because Ive played in the wind and things and
I know what the balls going to do. The guys
come in to play one game a year and the winds
and stuff killed them because it really did

affect the ball throwing it.

Simmons who spent much of his time in
the radio booth alongside Russ Hodges
dealt with cancer more than once in recent
years. He requested not to have a memorial
service, the Giants said. He attended selected
games last season and still worked as a community ambassador for the Giants after retiring in 2002.
Im grateful for the support of the Bay area
fans, Simmons said upon being selected
winner of the Ford C. Frick Award. The fans
are more important to me than anything else
because those are the people I tried to please
the 40 years.

Cards blank Cubs

on opening night
By Jay Cohen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO Same ol
Cubbies.
Same
old
Cardinals, too. At least for
one game.
Adam Wainwright threw
six sharp innings to outpitch Jon Lester, and St.
Louis handed new Chicago
manager Joe Maddon a 3-0
loss Sunday night in the
major league opener.
Jason Heyward had three
hits in his St. Louis debut
and Matt Holliday drove in
two runs for the NL Central
champions. Throw in Matt
Carpenters two hits at newlook Wrigley Field, and the
top third of the Cardinals
lineup went 7 for 14 with
three RBIs.
The Cubs went 0 for 13
with runners in scoring
position.
Lester was pulled with one
out in the fifth inning on a
chilly evening. The ace lefthander, who got a $155 million, six-year contract from
Chicago during free agency,
allowed three runs and eight
hits in his fifth straight
opening day start.
The addition of Lester and

Maddon ramped up the

expectations for Chicago
after five straight losing
seasons. But it was more of
the same in their first game.
The biggest difference for
the home team was a giant
videoboard in left field, part
of a major renovation for
the iconic neighborhood
ballpark. The closed bleachers were covered by pictures
of Hall of Fame slugger
Ernie Banks, who played for
Chicago for 19 seasons and
died in January at age 83.
The Cubs honored Banks
with a pregame moment of
silence, and his sons Jerry
and Joey Banks each threw
out a ceremonial first pitch.
The club also extended its
condolences
to
the
Cardinals for Oscar Taveras,
an outfield prospect who
died in a car crash in his
native Dominican Republic
last October.
Heyward got the majors
first hit of the season when
he doubled in the first.
The shutout was sure to
have some Cubs fans clamoring for Kris Bryant, the

would need in the first inning. The Knights set the table
without getting the ball out of the infield. Mahanty led off
with a bounding single just over the third-base bag that left
Terra Novas third baseman no chance of making a throw.
Riki Urata followed with a bunt that went for a hit.
Terra Nova starting pitcher Jared Milch seemed to buckle
down by recording a strikeout and a groundout. But after the
latter allowed the runners to move up, Hillsdale junior
Andrew Yarak produced a clutch two-out, two-run single to
center to get the Knights on the board. Yarak currently paces
the Knights with 18 RBIs.
Hell have some bad looking at-bats, but with runners in
scoring position hes come up clutch over and over and over
again, Madison said. Hes definitely been a special guy in
our lineup and I believe hes a special guy in the clutch.
Terra Nova threatened in the second inning. With two
outs, Ray Falk was hit by a pitch and Mat Lavorini followed
with a single to left. Milch then nestled a flare into left, but
after Falk rounded third too far he was thrown out by left
fielder Brett Wetteland as he attempted to slide back to the
bag, ending the inning. Terra Nova would go on to produce
just one more hit on the day a fourth-inning double by
Austin Youngdale.
[Schembri] was staying consistent with his strike zone,
Youngdale said. He was throwing everything for strikes,
even his first-pitch curveball. That was pretty much it.
Hillsdale added two insurance runs in the bottom of the
fourth. Matt Stucke and Trevor Bettis drew back-to-back
one-out walks. Then Justin Fong redeemed an earlier miscue
by laying down a bunt. In the second inning, Fong had a
chance to move up Bettis after a leadoff single, but
Hillsdales No. 9 hitter popped up the sacrifice attempt. In
the fourth, not only did Fong get the bunt down, he legged
it out for an infield single to load the bases.
The first bunt, I was pretty disappointed in myself,
Fong said. I felt like I should have got it down. Its important the team always tried to pick up each other. It was great
because my team picked me up defensively and [Schembri]
was doing great on the mound. So, the second time around
I felt good, I felt refreshed, so I was ready to go and I got it
down.
The Knights cashed in with an RBI single from Mahanty
to drive home Stuckey. Urata followed with a squib over the
pitchers mound for an infield RBI single, driving home
Bettis. Urata finished the day 3-for-3 with a walk. Mahanty
and David Badet added two hits apiece.
The Knights are currently hitting .367 as a team. Their
only loss of the season came March 4 at Burlingame.
I just really believe weve strived to win every single
game, Madison said. We strive to be perfect. We know
well never be perfect but we wont be as good as we possibly can unless were trying to be perfect. Weve got that
one loss on our record that really motivates us and drives
us.
While Saturdays win was Hillsdales first game since last
Monday, Terra Nova is in the middle of a rigorous stretch
during its spring-break schedule. Since splitting a league
series with PAL Bay Division leader Sacred Heart Prep last
week ending with a dramatic 8-7 loss last Thursday the
Tigers beat South City Friday before losing to Hillsdale
Saturday. Terra Nova now travels to Serra Tuesday at 4 p.m.
and to Santa Cruz Wednesday.
This is going to be crazy because were coming off
three games in a row, Youngdale said. Then weve got to
go up against [Serra] and go all the way to Santa Cruz. This
is going to show how much will power we have as team.

The sophomores comment came as a

nature of wanting to stay in that moment for
a little bit longer before moving on to the
next moment.
Its not just basketball either.
In 1980, in one of sports moments frozen
in time, when an entire country confirmed it
did believe in miracles, the U.S. Olympic
hockey team stunned the world by beating
the vaunted Soviet Union in Lake Placid,
New York. The celebration of an entire team
throwing their sticks and jumping onto a
pile in front of the net is frozen in time. But
the United States wasnt done. They had to
beat Finland two days later. A win meant a
gold medal. A loss meant no medal, not even
a bronze.
Ryan knows all about that from a player
who starred on the team that had been humiliated by the Soviets just weeks before at
Madison Square Garden.
Mark Johnson is the womens hockey
coach at the University of Wisconsin. Won a
lot of national championships. Great, great
teacher, great coach, he said. I was reminded I cant tell you by how many people,
Hey, Bo, in 1980, you know after we beat
Russia, we had to beat Finland. I dont know
a lot about hockey, but I knew about the 80
team. I said, You know what, youre right.
Most people think that Russia was the gold
medal game. I think it was Finland, wasnt it?
Ive been reminded on a few text messages
that Finland is Duke, both really good teams.
Duke is a really good team. I think Finland
was a good team because they got to the
finals.

Krzyzewski said its important to make

sure the players stay grounded. The anecdotes
flow from 24 years ago about Krzyzewski
yelling at the team for the way they
approached the Sunday practice, that they
had already won something besides a semifinal game.
It wasnt just the emotion in the locker
room. I thought we handled that well,
Krzyzewski said. It was the emotion in the
hotel, where our fans were literally delirious.
It was so packed, they were right next to you.
They didnt think we would beat Vegas. We
were the ones who thought we could beat
Vegas. We had to make sure we didnt go into
their environment, into their place.
On Saturday night Wisconsin faced the
same problem when the Badgers returned to
their hotel. What seemed like thousands of
red-clad Cheeseheads were waiting in the
lobby and anywhere else there was room for a
few more people.
You know you have to forget about the
one you just played, Ryan said. The only
thing thats going to help you for that next
game is what you learned for the 40 minutes
during that (previous) game. Today, when
were at practice, theyll be reminded about a
few things from last night, but it will be how
we can get better.
And how you can make a run at history
complete. Duke had Kansas 24 years ago.
The United States had Finland in 1980. On
Monday night, Wisconsin faces Duke.
A win would mean a place in college basketball history. A loss would mean a win for
the ages becomes a footnote.

Furious 7 races to $143.6M

By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ince Easter is behind us, I feel

safer promoting bunnies as pets.
We try not to get into pre-Easter
hype as weve seen, rsthand, how that
leads to impulse buys, which is the primary reason humane societies get
unwanted bunnies surrendered to them a
few months after Easter. But, over a few
decades of timing our adoption message,
working with rabbit-specic adoption
groups, helping educate the public about
what rabbit ownership entails and hosting clever events, weve noticed a huge
difference. We see less than half the number of rabbits we used to. And, we have far
more adoptions. The past two years,
weve called our annual bunny awareness
and adoption event Get Your Hands On
Our Buns. Both were fantastic events for
bunnies (and, thankfully, not one wise
guy took us literally!). This year, well
hold a similar event in May (May 9 or
May 16 please check our website) and
were focusing on matchmaking, targeting people and families who already have
one bunny. Bring your bunny to us and
well help you nd a partner. Itll be like
speed dating for bunnies. A singles bar
with carrot juice. Well dim the lights and
play Barry White music in the bunny
suite at our Center for Compassion.
Whatever it takes to help you and your
bunny make a love connection. Those
who have a bunny know this, but if you
dont, here are a few fun facts: yes, they
do multiply very quickly; rabbits kept
outdoors in hutches have a sad, lonely
and dangerous existence since they are
susceptible to the elements and predators
make sure your rabbit is inside the
house; rabbits enjoy lots of fresh leafy
greens plus plenty of hay in their diet;
rabbits can be trained to use a litter box,
which will make you happier and less
afraid to walk around barefoot; rabbits
can live eight to 10 years.

LOS ANGELES The high-octane

Furious 7 peeled out of the gates in its
opening weekend, picking up a stunning
$143.6 million from 4,004 locations to
easily top the domestic box ofce, according to Rentrak estimates Sunday.
The expectation-shattering sum is a studio and franchise best for the homegrown
car-obsessed series, which has continued to
grow over the past few lms.
Furious 7, now the ninth-biggest opening of all time, also unseats previous April
record-holder Captain America: The Winter
Soldier, which opened to $95 million on
the same weekend last year.
While the Fast and Furious films have
grown in popularity over the past three
films, the mega-opening for Furious 7
was also at least partially tied to audience
interest in star Paul Walker, who died in a car
crash in Nov. 2013 before the film was completed.
Production on Furious 7 was halted
while the filmmakers and Universal decided
whether or not to proceed with the film.
The team ultimately decided to delay the
release from its originally scheduled July
2014 date.
It probably created some curiosity, but,
at the same time, (the film) fits in so well
with the overall continuing saga of the
Fast and Furious franchise, Nick
Carpou, Universals president of domestic
distribution, said of Walker.
Its a motivator, but its not by any
means the prime motivator the see the
movie, he added.
There is also a sense that massive openings like Furious 7 point to the creeping
of summer blockbuster season, which
seems to be starting earlier and earlier as
studios try to stake their claim on prime
dates.
But for Carpou, in a 52-week-a-year
release strategy, the demarcation of a summer blockbuster is almost irrelevant when
it comes to getting audiences to turn out in
droves for a film.
Its that corny old adage that if you
build it, they will come, he said, adding
that the impressive February debut of
Fifty Shades of Grey helps prove his
point.
Paul Dergarabedian, Senior Media
Analyst for box office firm Rentrak,
thinks that this is a liberating trend for
studios who once clamored for the first
weekend in May release date.

Furious 7, had the ninth-biggest opening of all time at the box office over the holiday
weekend.
Studios are finding tremendous value in
putting their movies in non-traditional
corridors, he said.
As the most ambitious release in
Universals history, Furious 7 opened
on 10,005 screens internationally as well,
picking up $240.4 million from 63 territories for a $384 million worldwide debut
a 48 percent increase over Fast &
Furious 6. The film will also debut in
Russia, Poland, Japan, and China in the
coming weeks.
Holdovers populated the rest of the top
spots with DreamWorks Animations
Home earning $27.4 to take a distant
second place. Get Hard brought in an
estimated
$12. 9
million,
while
Cinderella and The Divergent Series:
Insurgent rounded out the top five with
$10.3 million and $10 million, respectively.
But its all about Furious
7 for the next few weeks.
The film has the roads to
itself until Disney and
Marvels The Avengers:
Age of Ultron hits theaters
on May 1.

of other cities in the Peninsula and
where they are with [parking rates]
so we dont want to get out of scale
with the market, said City
Manager Larry Patterson.
The council will consider an
ordinance adopting the new rates
anticipated to generate an additional $500,000 annually as part
of its continuing effort to institute
its Downtown San Mateo Parking
Management Plan, which it
approved last year.
To account for varied parking
needs, the city will implement
new rates and hourly maximums
based on location.
For prime on-street spaces in the
downtown core, the rates will be
increased to $1 per hour and the
time limit reduced from four hours
to three hours. Spaces on the second oor or higher in prime
garages will run 50 cents per hour
with no time limit. For on-street
spaces outside the core, parking is

would enhance the grandstand with

proposed at 50 cents per hour with

a three-hour maximum.
Premium street spaces are within
the downtown core bordered by
Fourth Avenue between El Camino
Real and B Street, Second Avenue
between B Street and San Mateo
Drive, Third Avenue between San
Mateo Drive and El Camino Real,
and along El Camino Real between
Third and Fourth avenues.
Value off-street parking lots off
Fifth Avenue include near the
Ravioli House and Talbots
Toyland, which will also be 50
cents per hour with a three-hour
maximum; and lots at the
Samaritan House Worker Resource
Center and the former Kinkos Lot,
which will cost 25 cents per hour
with no time limit, according to
the report.
We actually have two functions
behind raising the rates. First,
were trying to get spaces appropriately priced, and it helps us
manage the use of the spaces. For
example, we have lower prices
where we want [downtown business] employees to park,
Patterson said.
Councilman
Joe Goethals

agreed, adding the dynamic parking rates should encourage people who work in the shops and the
restaurants downtown to park in
the [low-cost] lots and that will
free up street parking for seniors
and people trying to patronize the
businesses.
To include developers in the
mix, the council may adjust in-lieu
of parking fees that have been
stuck at $9,000 per space since
1989. The council identied this
as a key priority within its parking management plan as its anticipated to cost between $30,000
and $35,000 to create one new
parking space within a garage.
The proposal would increase the
in-lieu fee to $12,000 starting
July 1, 2015, then up to $18,000
by July 1, 2016, then $25,000
starting July 1, 2017, and nally
increasing by the areas consumer
price index in subsequent years,
according to the report.
Patterson noted the signicance
of easing into the changes for
downtown parkers and developers,
adding they dont want to discourage people from investing in
downtown.

Staff felt increasing the rates in

one fell swoop could provide a
real hindrance to some of the
things going on, something like
the three-corners
projects,
Patterson said. We dont want to
adversely impact them, but on the
other hand, we want to get to
where we need to be.
The city will likely work with
the Downtown San Mateo
Association to conduct extensive
public outreach educating people
and businesses about the increases, Patterson said.
The new fee structure is aimed at
helping support the eventual construction of a new parking garage
for which Patterson said there
isnt yet a cost estimate, but added
the Main Street garage cost $13
million to build.
As city ofcials continue to discuss the future of the Downtown
Area Plan, its likely they will
consider the worker resource center lot as a potential site to construct a new parking garage,
Patterson said
If the council approves the proposed parking fee amendments
Monday, it must again vote during

a second reading April 20 before it

could go into effect July 1, 2015.
In a continued attempt to ease
parking downtown, the city may
continue to work with the company Streetline to implement technology that could show real-time
parking availability via a smartphone app, Patterson said. As ofcials continue to promote economic
activity
downtown,
Patterson said parking is an
inevitable challenge that needs
continued work.
Theres always that time when
the economy is active and a lot of
people want to come downtown
and theres new uses and intensied uses and its hard to keep up.
Every retailer will tell you theres
not enough parking, Patterson
said. In reality, we think theres a
strong supply of parking but we
dont argue the fact that we need to
be adding spaces.

underside of the bleachers would

be turned into small rooms, such
as art studios, that would be accessible to the community. While
Heagerty and Haverty prefer this
plan, theyre also concerned that
it would remove the fields surrounding gate.
The Community Gathering
Option would also reduce the
bleachers but maintain the fencing
and keep the field shared as a dog
park during morning hours.
Haverty said the field is used by
close to 3,000 people, including
youth ball players and adult softball leagues. San Mateos Little
League plays nearly half of their

games at Fitzgerald Field and more

than half of the time its occupied,
its used for either baseball or softball, he added.
Our membership is actually up
15 percent over the last year,
youth baseball throughout the
country is down about 20 percent,
so why is San Mateo Little League
on the increase? Haverty said.
Its because new residents are
moving into high-density housing.
Councilman Joe Goethals said
he too grew up playing ball at
Central Park and continues to have
friends who play in adult leagues.
Furthermore, the area is used as a

dog park, its planned to host a

temporary winter ice rink next
year and supports festivals like
Bacon and Brew, Goethals said.
Because it serves all those purposes, its the kind of space we
should absolutely be preserving. I
dont see us getting rid of
Fitzgerald Field in any way,
Goethals said. Its such an
accommodating space. I really
look forward to preserving it in
the future.

Indiana. If all six pulled out, it would represent about $1.2 million in revenue, said
Dan OConnell, president and CEO of Visit
Fort Wayne.
Businesses say theyve been inundated
with emails from people asking for reassurance that they are welcome in Indiana, or
canceling orders or plans. The famed French
Lick Resort, a hotel in an historic town in
southern Indiana, issued a statement Friday
saying it has always been open and inclusive and that the new law wont change
that.
Traci Bratton, owner of the Hoosier
Candle Company in Dayton said shes
received emails from out-of-state customers
who like her products but say they wont be
bringing their business to Indiana because
of the law.
Hoosier Hospitality has been thrown out
the window, Bratton said.
But the impact is being most keenly felt
in Indianapolis, which has earned national
praise for its transformation from a place

once referred to as Naptown and IndiaNo-Place to a vibrant, friendly city that

used sports and a downtown renaissance to
land a Super Bowl and become a popular pit
stop in what was once called flyover country.
Indy Big Data, a tech convention slated
for May, has lost nine national sponsors,
including Amazon and Cloudera. GenCon,
the citys largest convention, has a contract
with the city until 2020, but Gahl said
negotiations to extend the agreement for
another five years could fall through
because of the outcry over the law. A departure of GenCon, which brings in about $56
million each year, would be a huge loss,
Gahl said.
Even though lawmakers have revised the
language of the religious objections law to
make clear that its not intended to discriminate, Indiana still lacks statewide civilrights protections for the gay and lesbian
community. And economic experts said perceptions about the law could prevent companies from attracting and retaining young
talent.
Kyle Anderson, a business economics
professor at Indiana University said Indiana
already had a hard time competing on a

A message was left Sunday for attorney
Paul Meyer, who represented both judges.
Meyer last year said in statements that
Steiner and Woodward cooperated fully with
the inquiry, apologized and appreciated the
commissions thorough review.
Misconduct reported last year also included mistreating litigants and making inappropriate comments on social media.

A traffic court judge delegated his job to

his clerk, who heard pleas and imposed sentences, while a family law court judge called
two parents who appeared before him rotten, the newspaper reported.
Several judges received advisory letters
for showing favoritism or failing to disclose potential conflicts of interest, the

Nearly 90 percent of the complaints came

Most of the complaints that were dismissed involved judges rulings because the

Will Heagerty, Mike Heagertys 13-yearold son, said the field is well used and often
filled with multiple teams warming up.
Now that more kids are starting to play
baseball and more kids are starting to use the
fields, we need more fields, Will Heagerty
said. He added the reason he plays baseball
both on an extracurricular team and at school

in the surrounding neighborhood, he
said.
Banda said many residents plan to
attend the meeting to express their disdain for the proposal.
Liz McManus, district deputy superintendent of business services, said
she hopes officials can work with the
neighbors to find some compromise.
When you put in lights on a high
school, you have to make sure you take
everyones perspective to heart, she
said. To see if there is a way to meet
the interest of all the parties, that is
what is going to start to happen on
Monday.
She noted that no decision will be
made at the upcoming meeting, but the
board could begin to plot a course
toward collecting more community
outreach about the project.
Banda feared that the district has
already made up its mind about moving
forward with the project, and that the
public meetings are merely window
dressing.
If they want to work with the neighborhood, Im sure something can be
worked out, but I cant say Im confident this will happen, he said.
McManus, though, stressed that the
perspective of all community members
will be considered.
We have to be extremely sensitive
to the neighbors, she said. The last
thing the district wants to do is offend
the neighborhood.

Board of Trustees President Marc

Friedman echoed those sentiments, but
also noted that the districts main
objective is to accommodate students.
We want to serve our students as
best as possible, he said.
Officials main impetus for proposing the light installation is keeping
athletes in school, particularly during
the spring sports season, because
some have to leave class early during
game days to take full advantage of
limited daylight hours.
McManus said during the spring
sports season, some students miss as
many as 15 hours of class to accommodate their sports schedule.
If we had more field time, the students wouldnt have to leave early
from class, she said. That time would
probably significantly improve their
academic success.
Friedman noted the schools in the
district are the only public, comprehensive high schools in San Mateo
County that do not offer, or plan to
offer, students permanent lights on
athletic fields.
Steve Sell, athletic director at
Aragon High School, said the inequity
of local field lighting puts the districts sports programs at a competitive disadvantage.
We are surrounded by everyone else
who has lights, he said.
He said the lack of lights prevents
the district from taking full advantage
of its resources.
Its amazing to me that we would
have a piece of land, like a soccer or
football field, worth millions of dollars and not utilize it to its full extent,

he said. That just seems crazy to me.

Karen Herrel, who lives near Hillsdale
High School, said the district leveraging its assets to full capacity is a
greater cause for concern to nearby residents.
She said some neighbors are afraid
that should the district install lights,
it would be become a slippery slope for
determining appropriate uses, and officials may eventually try to rent the
fields out under the lights for entertainment events such as concerts.
Herrel said she has been discouraged
by the manner with which some residents have conducted themselves during past discussions regarding the
lights, and said she is hopeful the community will come together to agree on
a plan that works for all parties.
We are all supposed to be part of the
same community, and there is an
advantage to having people get along
with each other, she said.
There have been previous attempts,
some as long as a decade ago, to rally
support for installing field lights.
McManus said a portion of the conversation will revolve around identifying potential funding sources to
install the lights, since no money has
been set aside for their installation,
should the board elect to move forward
with the project.

He is a tremendous community
asset, she said. Honestly, I wish we

Foust has held on to an email message Jolette sent her when she was

what it takes to engage our community, contribute and that business is part

of a healthy community, Gee said.

So hes been a tremendous partner in
our city and the Redwood City community.
Tabler said Jolettes replacement
should be named within the next six to
eight weeks.
It will be a big transition for him
and us, Tabler said.
Jolette was an advocate for the passage of the Credit Union Membership
Access Act of 1998, which is regarded
by many as the most important piece
of legislation for credit unions. He has
also visited Congress for 25 consecutive years to advocate on behalf of the
industry, said Matt Wrye with the
California and Nevada Credit Union
Leagues.

The DRT Method is a 5 Step S.P.I.N.E. approach to healing & restoring
function to bulging and degenerative discs.
Spinal Decompression, Physiotherapy, Inter-Segmental Mobilization, Nutritional

The DRT Method allows for a much higher success rate by increasing hydration

This gentle and relaxing treatment has proven to be effective... even when drugs,

Disc Restoration Therapy has shown dramatic results.

Who is a Candidate for Disc Restoration Therapy

Disc Restoration Therapy has been found to relieve the pain associated with disc

Rolling Stone rape article writer apologizes

By Larry ODell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RICHMOND, Va. Rolling Stone magazine retracted a widely discredited article

about an alleged gang rape at the University
of Virginia after a top journalism school
issued a scathing report Sunday concluding
it had failed to meet proper journalistic
standards.
The review, undertaken at Rolling Stones
request, presented a broad indictment of the
magazines handling of a story that had horrified readers, unleashed widespread protests
at the universitys Charlottesville campus
and sparked a national discussion about
sexual assaults on college campuses.
The way the magazine reported, edited and
vetted the article is a story of journalistic
failure that was avoidable, the Columbia
University Graduate School of Journalism
said in the report. The criticism came two
weeks after the Charlottesville police
department said it had found no evidence to
back the claims of the victim identified in
the story only as Jackie, who said she was
raped by seven men at a fraternity house.
Rolling Stones failure encompassed
reporting, editing, editorial supervision
and fact-checking, said the journalism
schools report, which was posted on the
schools and magazines websites.
Rolling Stone Managing Editor Will
Dana posted an apology on the publications website and said the magazine was
officially retracting the story.
The articles author, Sabrina Rubin
Erdely, also apologized in a statement, saying she would not repeat the mistakes she
made when writing the November 2014 article A Rape on Campus.
Reading the Columbia account of the
mistakes and misjudgments in my reporting
was a brutal and humbling experience, she
said.
The magazines publisher, Jann S.

Wenner, however, told The New York Times

that Erdely would continue to write for the
magazine and that neither her editor nor
Dana would be fired.
Rolling Stone had asked for the independent review after numerous news media outlets found flaws with the story about Jackie,
who said the attack happened during a social
event at the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house
more than two years earlier. The article
quoted Jackie as saying that the attack was
orchestrated by a fraternity member who
worked with her at the schools aquatic center.
She also said she immediately told three
friends about the attack, but she said they
were generally unsupportive, and that at
least two encouraged her to keep quiet to
protect their social standing.
The report found three major flaws in the
magazines reporting methodology: that
Erdely did not try to contact the three

friends, instead taking Jackies word for it

that one of them refused to talk; that she
failed to give enough details of the alleged
assault when she contacted the fraternity for
comment, which made it difficult for the
organization to investigate; and that
Rolling Stone did not try hard enough to
find the person Jackie accused of orchestrating the assault.
If the fraternity had had more information, it might have been able to explain earlier that it did not hold a social function the
night of the attack and that none of its
members worked at the aquatic center, the
report noted.
Soon after the article was published, several news media organizations began finding flaws with it, forcing Rolling Stone to
acknowledge on Dec. 5 that there were some
discrepancies with the story.
Dana and Erdely said they had been too
accommodating of requests from Jackie that
limited their ability to report the story
because she said she was a rape victim and
asked them not to contact others to corroborate, the report said.
However, Columbias report said, Rolling
Stone also failed to investigate reporting
leads even when Jackie had not specifically
asked them not to.
The editors made judgments about attribution, fact-checking and verification that
greatly increased their risks of error but had
little or nothing to do with protecting

Jackies position, it said.

The report said Rolling Stones article
may cast doubt on future accusations of
rape. It also damaged the reputation of the
Phi Kappa Psi chapter at U.Va. and depicted
the university administration as neglectful.
Prior to the issuance of the journalism
schools report, the fraternity called the
Rolling Stone article defamatory and said it
was exploring its legal options.
These false accusations have been
extremely damaging to our entire organization, but we can only begin to imagine the
setback this must have dealt to survivors of
sexual assault, said Stephen Scipione,
president of the Virginia Alpha Chapter of
Phi Kappa Psi, after the Charlottesville
police suspended their investigation.
In his apology, Dana said that magazine
officials are committing ourselves to a
series of recommendations about journalistic practices that are spelled out in the
report.
Wenner took a combative tone saying
that despite the magazines failures, Jackie
was also responsible.
Wenner told the Times that Jackie was a
really expert fabulist storyteller. He added
he was not trying to blame her but obviously there is something here that is
untruthful, and something sits at her
doorstep.
Despite its flaws, the article heightened
scrutiny of campus sexual assaults amid a
campaign by President Barack Obama. The
University of Virginia had already been on
the Department of Educations list of 55
colleges under investigation for their handling of sex assault violations.
The article also prompted U.Va. President
Teresa Sullivan to temporarily suspend
Greek social events. Fraternities later
agreed to ban kegs, hire security workers
and keep at least three fraternity members
sober at each event.
