Water cuts trickling down

Utilities differ on reductions, rate hikes while faced with less revenue, fixed costs
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

While fallowed fields across the

state have long illustrated the
impacts of the drought for rural
communities, some Bay Area residents may soon feel the heat when
they open their water bills as
cities and utilities strive to meet
conservation mandates while
staying in business.

Gov. Jerry Browns landmark

mandatory orders requiring the
biggest users to conserve more
will impact communities differently. Yet many San Mateo County
residents must brace for water rate
increases as the areas main supplier, the San Francisco Public
Utilities Commission, announced
a 28 percent rate increase slated
for July.
Water utilities are in a precarious

situation as they encourage consumers to conserve while still

needing to cover fixed costs and
pricey infrastructure needs.
On Friday, the State Water
Resources Control Board is poised
to release more details on how it
plans to implement Browns
orders to cut statewide consumption 25 percent through tiered
conservation standards ranging
from 10 percent to 35 percent.

While some water officials

expressed concern with the preliminary framework that bases a
residents reduction target on
September 2014 consumption a
time of year where people typically use more water all utilities
and cities will be required to cut
back further or potentially face
fines of up to $10,000 a day.
I think now the issue is going
to be theres fines, this is real.

What weve been in is a voluntary

situation, we all have no choice,
were in a mandatory situation
now, said Nicole Sandkulla, CEO
of the Bay Area Water Supply and
Conservation
Agency.
Everybody has to get serious
about it to a level thats different
from where we were last year. I
think as residents, we all have to
take a look again and say OK,

Corruption focus of Tax Day rally

Group pushes for passage of the American Anti-Corruption Act
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A small but determined group of

anti-corruption advocates spent
Tax Day urging passersby to support legislation that would curb
the influence of lobbyists on
Congress.
The
local
chapter
of
Represent.Us passed out fliers in
front of the San Mateo County
History Museum in downtown
Redwood City to call for the passage of the American AntiCorruption Act, originally crafted
by former Federal Election
Commission chairman Trevor

Potter in 2011.
Its a strategy that might actually work, said Redwood City resident Carol Cross.
Its about transparency and regulations that will empower voters, she said.
Its about taking big money
out of politics, the group contends.
It was one of 36 Tax Day actions
being held by Represent.Us chapters across the country to
announce a wave of local anti-corruption initiatives.
The goal is to get the legislation
passed at municipal and state levels
until Congress takes up the cause.

A long quest to find a new location for its administrative office

may be nearing an end as officials
as San Mateo Union High School
District officials are exploring the
purchase of more than two acres of
land on the Burlingame Bayfront.
The Board of Trustees will meet
Thursday, April 16, to discuss
potentially buying the parcel at
875 Mahler Road in Burlingame.
The discussion takes place as
officials consider how to balance
remaining capital resources with
how to best serve employees, as
well as students enrolled in the
alternative Peninsula High School

and the special education program.

No decision will be made at the
board meeting, which will be held
at the San Mateo Adult School,
789 E. Poplar Ave., San Mateo.
Liz McManus, district deputy
superintendent of business services, said the board will hold an
open conversation regarding the
districts interest in purchasing
the Burlingame property before
taking action.
The boards decision was to
have an absolutely transparent
discussion, and from that, put
everything on the table with the
facts and then make an effective
decision, she said.

See SITE, Page 19

The group points out that members of Congress spend too much
time fundraising, 75 percent, and
must raise millions of dollars to
fund their own campaigns.
The American Anti-Corruption
Act would prevent any special
interest donations made to any
elected member of Congress who
sits on a committee that regulates
the donors industry.
It also requires members of
Congress to recuse themselves
from any votes that would profit
their large donors.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO A federal
judge in California declined
Wednesday to remove marijuana
from the list of most dangerous
drugs, disappointing activists
who saw the case as a chance to get
closer to their goal of nationwide
legalization.
U. S. District Judge Kimberly
Mueller said during a brief court

hearing that she was initially prepared to rule that marijuana should
not be a Schedule 1 drug but then
decided it was up to Congress to
change the law if it wishes.
It has been 45 years since
Congress passed the Controlled
Substances Act, Mueller said,
noting the landscape has
changed since then.

GOLDSBORO, N. C. The man
accused of killing a community college worker said the motorcycle he
used to get away broke down along
Interstate 95 and he walked 30 miles
before a woman headed to Florida gave
him a ride, according to a police report
released Wednesday.
The woman picked up the 20-yearold Kenneth Morgan Stancil III,
whose face and neck are covered in
dark, self-administered tattoos. He was
armed with a knife and had almost
$500, the report by Volusia County

The driver was headed to Key West,
Florida, but dropped Stancil off in
Daytona Beach, where he was found
sleeping on the beach Tuesday morning. When officers approached him,
he pulled the knife but dropped it when
an officer drew his gun. He was arrested without incident, the police report
said.
Stancil is awaiting extradition back
to North Carolina, where he is accused
of fatally shooting 44-year-old Ron

ANAHEIM HILLS An Egyptian

goose with an arrow piercing its neck
was captured in Southern California on
Wednesday and will undergo surgery to
remove the weapon.
A worker at the Anaheim Hills Car
Wash befriended the goose several days
ago and was able to catch it and turn it
over to officers from Orange County
Animal Care, department spokeswoman
Katie Ingram said.
Veterinarians at an area bird and
wildlife clinic examined the bird and said
it appeared to be in good health, except
for the arrow that missed all its vital
organs, Ingram said. They said the birds
prognosis was good.
Workers believe the animal was shot
intentionally at least a week ago,
Ingram said. Animal control officers
found the bird after getting a call on
April 8 from Hole 5 at the Anaheim Hills
Golf Course, but they started getting
calls on April 5, she said.
The birds are not native to the area, so
it was probably living near the course.
The unnamed bird was unable to bend
down to eat, making it easier for the car
wash worker to entice it with food.
When animal control arrived
Wednesday to pick it up, they did not
wear uniform clothing in case that was

California man, 95, sets world

record as oldest active pilot
PLACERVILLE A 95-year-old
Northern California man has become the
worlds oldest active pilot.
The Sacramento Bee reported Tuesday
that Guinness World Record keepers
confirmed that a flight last month by
Peter Weber Jr. qualified him for the
record book.
Weber was 95 years, 4 months and 23
days old when he flew three looping circles around an airfield near Sacramento
on March 30.
Guinness lists Cole Kugel as the oldest pilot ever. Kugel, who lived in
Longmont, Colorado, flew for the last
time in 2007 at age 105 and died the
same year.
Weber says the record keepers have
designated a new category: Oldest qualified pilot still licensed and flying solo.
The Air Force veteran has been pilot
for 72 years and says he flies about twice
a month.
During his first court appearance
Tuesday in Daytona Beach, Florida,
Stancil indicated he killed Lane because
his former supervisor molested a relative. Nothing in police records substantiated the allegations.

Moss Beach man arrested after multi-county chase

By James Lanaras

Drive over-crossing of Highway 101 around

1:40 a.m., CHP Officer Andrew Barclay said.
The CHP officers had to brake quickly to
avoid a collision with Wilsons Nissan pickup truck, Barclay said. The officers determined
Wilson was intentionally trying to flee from
the officers and the pursuit began, Barclay
said.
The CHP officers were informed by the
Central Marin Police Authority that the
Nissan was reported stolen from San

The chase continued on northbound

Highway 101 to eastbound state Highway 37
toward Vallejo then onto Lakewood Highway
toward Petaluma, Barclay said.
Spike strips set up by Petaluma police at
Frates Road flattened the right front tire of the
pickup, and another spike strip set up by the
Sonoma County Sheriffs Office at Adobe and
Stage Gulch roads flattened the remaining
tires on the Nissan, Barclay said.
Wilson lost control of the pickup truck and
spun out as he passed Watmaugh Road. He ran

from the truck but was caught after a short

chase, Barclay said.
Wilson was booked on felony charges of
driving a stolen vehicle, possession of stolen
property, and misdemeanor charges of providing false information to a peace officer, resisting or delaying a peace officer and evading a
peace officer, Barclay said.
Barclay said traffic on the roads taken in the
pursuit was light to none, and officers continually evaluated any risk to the public as they
pursued Wilsons Nissan.

Experts remove whale carcass in Pacifica

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Scientists with the center, along with biologists with the California Academy of
Sciences, are trying to determine how the
mammal died. But the cause of death may not
be known for some time, mammal center
spokeswoman Sarah Van Schagen said.
This much is known: They do not survive
long out of water as their bodies are not
designed to be on solid land.
The animal, which was first spotted
Tuesday, is one of 17 dead sperm whales to
beach along the North Coast of California
during the 40 years that the center has been
handling such cases, a spokeswoman said.
The age and sex will be confirmed following
the completion of the necropsy, but it is currently believed to be an adult male. The animal is emaciated.

was found washed ashore in Point Reyes,

Reverse Mortgage Financial Assessment to begin April 27 2015 Delayed from March 2
The Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) has issued a nancial
assessment requirement for reverse
mortgage borrowers. Originally due to take
effect on March 2, 2015, HUD has revised the
deadline to April 27, 2015.
In explaining the purpose of nancial
assessment, HUD writes: The mortgagee
must evaluate the mortgagors willingness
and capacity to timely meet his or her
nancial obligations and to comply with
the mortgage requirements. Mortgage
requirements include paying property taxes
and homeowners insurance and keeping up
home maintenance.

HUD states: In conducting this nancial

assessment, mortgagees must take into
consideration that some mortgagors seek a
HECM due to nancial difculties, which may
be reected in the mortgagors credit report
and/or property charge payment history. The
mortgagee must also consider to what extent
the proceeds of the HECM could provide a
solution to any such nancial difculties.
For borrowers who do not demonstrate their
willingness to meet their loan obligations, life
expectancy set-asides will be required.
To perform the assessment, HUD has
provided a list of documents to be collected
and submitted for all borrowers and will

include credit history, income verication,

asset verication, property charge verication,
residual income analysis, documentation of
extenuating circumstances or compensating
factors, and calculations for life expectancy
and residual income shortfall set-asides.

reverse mortgage today, or how the nancial
assessment will impact your situation,

San Joses antitrust lawsuit goes to Supreme Court

By Julia Cheever
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

An antitrust lawsuit filed by the city of

San Jose against Major League Baseball in
2013 began its expected final chapter
Wednesday with the citys appeal to the
U.S. Supreme Court.
The city asked the high court to overturn
an exemption from antitrust laws it granted
to professional baseball in 1922.
The exemption is causing ever-increasing harm to baseball fans and their local
communities, the citys lawyers wrote in a
petition for hearing.
The time has come to put an end to baseballs court-created antitrust exemption, or
at the very least to confine the exemption to
its original context, the petition says.
San Joses lawsuit claims MLB violated
antitrust laws by allegedly delaying and
blocking a possible move by the Oakland
As to San Jose.
The lawsuit was dismissed in 2013 by a

federal trial judge in San Jose and in January

of this year by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals.
Both courts said they were bound by the
U.S. Supreme Courts 1922 decision and
two later rulings reaffirming that precedent
in 1953 and 1972. In February, the San Jose
City Council voted to appeal to the high
court.
Because only the Supreme Court or
Congress can change the precedent, San
Jose was forced in its lower court arguments
to avoid attacking the exemption directly
and instead to contend it should be interpreted narrowly in a way that did not apply
to the citys claims.
In Wednesdays petition, by contrast, the
city directly asks the court to abolish the
exemption.
When we filed the lawsuit, we said it
would be up to the Supreme Court to decide
this case, said lead attorney Philip
Gregory.
We are extremely optimistic. We believe
that if the court decides to take this case up,

it will conclude that baseball should be subject to the antitrust laws like any other professional sport, he said.
As a fallback position, the petition asks
the court to clarify the scope of the exemption if it does not overturn the exception.
The petition argues that MLB is applying
the antitrust exemption far more broadly
for example to broadcast and digital media
rights than the court could have envisioned when it decided in 1922 that the
business of baseball was not governed by
federal antitrust laws because it was not part
of interstate commerce, as then defined.
In todays world, an antitrust exemption
for the business of baseball threatens to
become boundless, encompassing every
aspect of the economy baseball touches,
the petition argues.
Michael Teevan, New York-based MLBs
vice president for public relations, said the
club had no comment on the appeal.
If the court decides to review the case, it
could hold a hearing
either later this year or next year. If the

justices deny a hearing, the 9th Circuit decision will become the final ruling in the
case.
The court hears only a small percentage of
the cases appealed to it.
Gregory said MLBs response brief is due
in mid-May and the citys final brief is due
10 days later. The court could decide any
time after that whether to take up the case
and Ahas no deadline for acting.
The citys lawsuit claims MLBs constitution and actions violate antitrust laws in
two ways.
One violation, it claims, is the territorial
rights rule, under which the San Francisco
Giants club has the right to block an As
move to the South Bay and can be overridden only by a three-fourths vote of all clubs.
There is no apparent business justification for blocking the As from moving to
San Jos, except to protect the Giants
from,competition, the appeal says.
The second claim is alleged stalling by an
MLB relocation committee assigned to
study a possible move.

$7K stolen from Little League clubhouse

Tennyson High School, league treasurer Jody
Perry said.
An alarm system was set up at the clubhouse
and there are false alarms every week, she said.
The alarm triggered on Sunday night and
when the league's president, Christina

Mathewson, checked on the clubhouse, she

discovered the theft, according to Perry.
It appears a window was pried open and the
safe containing money from the league's Otis
Spunkmeyer fundraiser was stolen, she said.
The league has yet to determine the total
amount lost on Sunday, but Perry estimated it
was $7,000 intended to pay costs including
rent to play at the park's fields and to keep the
league's charter, Perry said.
When she found out about the theft, Perry
said she "felt violated."
"I'm the treasurer, I instantly I feel it's my
fault," Perry said.

Convicted molester denied new trial
A South San Francisco man convicted of raping one of his
girlfriends half-sisters over an eightyear period and behaving inappropriately with two other girls was denied a new
trial Wednesday, according to the San
Mateo County District Attorneys Office.
Kyle Clifton Vogt, 38, now faces 35
years to life in prison when he comes
back to court for sentencing May 29.
He was convicted of 11 felonies which
include rape, continuous sexual abuse of
Kyle Vogt
a child, sending harmful sexual matter to
a minor, six counts of lewd acts with a minor under 14 and
two counts of lewd acts with a minor over 14 by someone
more than 10 years older.
South San Francisco police arrested Vogt in 2012 after
reportedly learning he had been carrying on a sexual relationship with his girlfriends half-sister starting in 2002
when the victim was 5. The girl told her mom what was
going on when she turned 13, according to prosecutors.
After being taken into custody, Vogt was also accused of
molesting one of the girlfriends other half-sisters between
2000 and 2012 along with a neighbor girl who was the first
victims friend. Those acts allegedly included sending inappropriate texts, kissing and groping. Vogt threatened some
of girls with bodily harm to keep them from talking, police
said.

STATE GOVERNMENT
Assembly Bill 44, authored by
As s e mb l y man Ke v i n Mul l i n , DSo uth San Franci s co , cleared its first
hurdle in the legislative process
Wednesday when it passed out of the
Elections and Redistricting Committee. The bill would provide a state-funded, full manual recount option for any
statewide office or ballot measure where the margin of victory is 0.015 percent or 1,000 votes whichever is less,
addressing the serious flaws exposed in the existing recount
system during the June 2014 state controllers primary race.

The league's money is normally kept at the

bank, but over the weekend Perry said she and
Mathewson decided to keep the funds at the
clubhouse since they needed to figure out who
didn't turn in their money.
Perry said the fundraiser money was due on
Saturday and she suspected someone who was
aware of the collection played a role in the
burglary.
In light of the theft, the league is working
to repair the window and order a new safe,
Perry said.
They are also looking into installing security cameras and a speaker to hear anyone who

Vogt remains in custody on a no-bail status.

BART probes suicide barriers

SAN FRANCISCO The San Francisco Bay Areas transit agency has launched a campaign to try to stop people
from taking their own lives on its tracks.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports Wednesday that the
Bay Area Rapid Transit agency will post signs offering people resources for help. The agency will also give workers
additional training for spotting those in crisis.
Agency officials will also consider adding barriers to
platforms, which would make it impossible for people to
access the train tracks, the newspaper reported.
Five people have died this year on the tracks. Last year
there were eight people hit and killed by trains.
Neighboring Caltrain has also seen a recent uptick in deaths
on its tracks. Last month, Facebook partnered with several
agencies to give social media users options if they see a
friend post something about potentially harming themselves.

Police and medical crews arrived at the scene and arrested
the suspect.
The girl, who had injuries not considered life-threatening, was transported to a hospital for treatment.
Andraychak said the suspect told police that he had a medical illness and he was taken to a separate hospital for
examination.
Based on a preliminary investigation, Andraychak said it
appears that the girl and her mother did not know the suspect and that it was an isolated incident.
Andraychak said once the suspect is released from the
hospital he will be booked into county jail, at which point

Netflix soaring with Marine helicopter is

original programming forced to land on beach
By Michael Liedtke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Netix is

enthralling viewers and investors
alike as popular original programming such as House of Cards lure
subscribers at a quickening pace.
Netix said Wednesday that it
gained 4.9 million subscribers in
the rst three months of the year,
more than any other quarter since
the video streaming services debut
eight years ago. About 2.3 million
of the new customers were in the
U.S., where Netixs subscriber
count surpassed 40 million for the
rst time.
The results were far better than
management had anticipated.
Netix had been hoping to add about
4 million subscribers in the quarter,
which typically is a busy period
because winter weather keeps people indoors more frequently. The
company is on such a roll that it
now expects to add another 2.5 million subscribers during the AprilJune quarter, traditionally its slowest time of year.
Netixs big quarter coincided
with the return of House of Cards,
an Emmy-winning political drama
starring Kevin Spacey as a conniving U.S. president. The February
release of the series third season
attracted more viewers than ever,
Netix said, though the company
didnt provide specic audience
sizes.
Two other made-for-Netix series,
The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
and Bloodline, also helped the
company retain existing subscribers and attract new customers
curious about the programs. Netix
plans to spend more money advertising its expanding lineup of original programs while also using its
recommendation system to pinpoint more subscribers likely to
enjoy certain series that are unavailable on other services.
In this particular quarter, we had
some amazing content, Netix
CEO Reed Hastings said in a video
review of the companys rst-quarter

In this particular quarter,

content. All of that

nancial results. All of that compounded to push us forward.

Original programming is becoming increasingly important for
Netix as it faces more competition
from other services, including an
Internet-only option that pay-TV
channel HBO recently started selling this month for $15 per month.
That price is well above Netixs
streaming service, which typically
costs $9 per month.
Hastings said HBOs price underscores what a bargain Netix is.
All told, Netix ended March with
62.3 million subscribers in more
than 50 countries. They watched
more than 10 billion hours of video
collectively during the rst three
months of the year an average of
nearly two hours a day for each subscriber.
Despite the growth, Netix
missed analyst earnings targets as
the company invested in an ongoing international expansion that is
supposed to be completed by the end
of next year. Netix also was hurt by
the stronger dollar, which lowered
its revenue outside the U.S.
Investors didnt seem to mind.
Netixs stock soared $53.04, or 11
percent, to $528.50 in extended
trading after the numbers came out.
If the shares follow that trajectory in
Thursdays regular trading session,
the stock will break the $500 barrier for the rst time.
The price may not stay that high
much longer because Netix is getting ready to split its stock for the
rst time since 2004. A split lowers
the trading price of a stock by issuing more shares. Netix is hoping
the split will drum up even more
interest in its stock by making it
more affordable to a wider pool of
investors.

SOLANA BEACH A huge

Marine Corps helicopter made an
emergency landing on a Southern
California beach on Wednesday,
bringing no damages or injuries but
leaving an unforgettable spectacle
for surrounding swimmers and sunbathers.
The CH-53E Super Stallion landed
on the shore of this northern San
Diego County town shortly after
11:30 a.m. after a low oil-pressure
indicator light went on in the cockpit, Marine Corps Air Station
Miramar said in a statement.
The 100-foot copter is twice the
size of the humpback whales that
sometimes wash up on surrounding

below a bluff and only a few yards

Bing Bush and his wife, Julie,

who live in a cliffside complex
overlooking the beach, were in for a
surprise when they stepped out their
front door.
We were just coming down for a
beach walk we come down here
quite a bit and lo and behold
theres a chopper on the beach,
Bing said, after posing for a photo
in front of the chopper with his
wife. We thought maybe it was a
movie shot or a movie set or something like that.
The precautionary landing came
during routine training, Gunnery
Sgt. Donald Bohanner said. The
Marines and a local hazardous materials team removed oil that leaked
from the copter to the beach,
Bohanner said.
There was no injuries, no damage
to any property, no injuries to any
civilians, which was an awesome,
awesome thing right there,

Bohanner said.
J.D. Kalt, a 10-year-old who came
to the beach with his mother and
some friends to check out the helicopter, was amazed by its size. He
had his mother take a cellphone
photo of him with his two friends in
front of the massive aircraft and
then bounced around in the sand
staring as Marine mechanics wearing flight suits and helmets scrambled atop the chopper.
Its huge! I like military and
Navy, so I might fly one of those
someday, he said.
Four hours after the landing,
gawkers gathered to watch it take off
again and head back to the Miramar
base amid a storm of sand and a deafening roar.
The helicopter is the largest and
heaviest in the U.S. military. It has
three engines, can travel at more
than 170 mph and can carry a crew
of four.

Vaccine bill stalls; will come back next week

By Judy LIn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO A California vaccination bill that has generated intense debates

pitting personal rights against public health
stalled in the state Senate Wednesday, with
lawmakers saying it could unconstitutionally
deprive unvaccinated children of an adequate
education by barring them from schools.
The measure would have prevented parents
from seeking vaccine exemptions for their
children because of religious or personal
beliefs, making California the largest of
only three states with such strict requirements.
Supporters plan to bring back the proposal next week revising it to address the concern raised in the Senate Education
Committee, but it wasnt immediately clear
how the bill might change.
The proposal was among several drafted
across the nation in the wake of a measles

outbreak that started at

Disneyland in December,
sickening more than 100
people in the U.S. and
Mexico.
Its generated such an
angry debate that the proposals author, Sen.
Richard Pan, a Democratic
from
Richard Pan pediatrician
Sacramento, has received
added security. In addition to threatening
messages sent to his office, opponents of the
legislation have posted images online comparing Pan to Adolf Hitler.
Hundreds of people lined the Capitol halls
ahead of the Wednesday morning committee
hearing, with about 600 opponents outnumbering roughly 100 supporters, a crowd far
larger than normal for even the most contentious measures.
It was the second hearing after the Senate
Health Committee advanced the measure 6-2

last week.
Parents have been on both sides of the
issue, with some calling the vaccination
plan an unconstitutional government overreach and others saying it was necessary to
save lives.
Carl Krawitt, of Corte Madre near San
Francisco, told lawmakers Wednesday that he
feared for his 6-year-old sons life during the
measles outbreak because the boy, Rhett,
could not be vaccinated while he was treated
for leukemia. Krawitt said his family has
already bore the financial and emotional toll
of a child with cancer.
Were here for the community, Krawitt
said. He added, You have a duty to legislate
from solid evidence, not from fear, and keep
our schools safe.
Opposing parents have told lawmakers
that since vaccines come with risks, they
should have the choice of whether their children should get such shots. Many said they
would rather homeschool their children than

comply with a vaccination requirement.

Among the risks, opponents say, vaccine
drugs have been linked to autism and other
developmental diseases, even as the medical
community says such claims have been disproved.
Robert Moxley, an attorney from
Wyoming who represents families who say
theyve been injured by vaccines, testified
that the bill violates freedom of choice. He
told lawmakers that the proposal would not
stand up in a court challenge.
It seems to me this is a solution in search
of a nonexistent problem, Moxley said.
The bill would have joined California with
Mississippi and West Virginia as the only
states with such strict vaccine rules.
Medical waivers would have been available
only for children with health problems and
the personal and religious belief exemptions
would be eliminated. Unvaccinated children
would have to have been homeschooled.

California grapples with where sex offenders can reside

By Paul Elias
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO California cities and

counties are grappling with how far they can
go to restrict where sex offenders can live
amid a shifting legal landscape.
The California Supreme Court last month
struck down San Diegos blanket enforcement of a state law banning registered sex
offenders from living near schools or parks.
The Supreme Court said sex offenders can
still be banned from living near parks and
schools, but such a determination must be
made on a case-by-case basis.

In response, several cities and counties

have repealed or are in the process of
repealing local ordinances with blanket
residency bans. On Tuesday, the California
Department
of
Corrections
and
Rehabilitation issued new regulations
requiring parole agents to individually determine residency restrictions for each of the
6,000 offenders they monitor.
The department loosened its residency
policy after Attorney General Kamala Harris
advised the department that the Supreme
Court ruling applied statewide.
Still, some cities and state lawmakers are
arguing the Supreme Court ruling applies

Truth About Deceptive

Cremation Practices
By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE

(This was first

published in 2010,
but its currently
needed again with
updated details)
Attacks from a
number of out of
state cremation corporations have been
waged upon our local and well respected
mortuaries. By now many of you reading
this article have been targeted by the flood
of junk advertising being spread across the
Peninsula & Bay Area by these cremation
outfits that use deceptive language to spread
their misleading message. Its no secret that
societies such as the Trident-Neptune
Corporation are using scare tactics to sway
consumers when they are most vulnerable.
Their mailings, which are many times
disguised as friendly notes, use falsehoods
to imply that their business practice just
makes sense or is much less expensive
luring in unsuspecting consumers. Their
shrewdly worded letters which use
implications such as fancy and expensive
funeral home, falling victim to pressure to
overspend, spending your familys
inheritance or up-selling are crafted to
imply some sort of dishonesty. Also, an
alluring enticement to WIN is flaunted
with tempting instructions to include your
phone number & key personal data.
The truth is that these societies are no
more than wealthy competitors to your
locally owned mortuary, and their costs are
not only comparable, but many times
MORE expensive than what your local
mortuary offers. Ive had families come to
me at the Chapel of the Highlands with
stories of being seduced by certain

cremation societies with talk of lower

costs and other persuasive language. Tales
of unimpressive staff and meetings in
bunker-like facilities are common. After
comparing local mortuaries & cremation
costs it was discovered that a mortuarys
total balance can be similar or even LOWER
than these societies.
Families have
realized that it would have been much more
comforting if they had called the Chapel of
the Highlands first. Our Chapel is well
experienced and has been highly regarded
for assisting families with low cost
cremations decades before cremation-only
corporations ever existed. We are also a full
service facility offering our Chapel for
Memorial Services if desired.
My advice if you ever wish to
investigate cremation:
Do your homework and call your locally
owned mortuary first to compare costs
along with reports on good reputation;
Dont let cremation societies message
of being much less expensive or offers
to WIN fool you;
Dont turn over your phone # or personal
info to un-requested cremation solicitors;
If you must use a cremation society
find out where they are headquartered
and about any prior or active lawsuits.
Thank you for reading my rebuttal. It
bothers me that these societies are openly
using misleading language and making
blanket implications about mortuaries.
Their tactics are unwarranted and my only
desire is for the truth to be known.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funerals or make pre-planning arrangements
please feel free to call me and my staff at the
CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS in
Millbrae at (650) 588-5116. We will guide
you in a fair and helpful manner. You may

only in San Diego. The city of Murrieta, for

instance, said its ban doesnt conflict with
the Supreme Courts ruling, and it plans to
keep it in place.
At least two lawmakers said they plan to
introduce legislation to impose new restrictions.
State Sen. Sharon Runner, R-Lancaster,
said she is alarmed by the correction departments new policy and that she is working to
cobble together a group of lawmakers to
support legislation that will clarify any
confusion caused by the decision of the
California Supreme Court.
Prison officials said they can still prohib-

it high-risk offenders from living near

schools and parks. The corrections department said its parole officers can still bar
other offenders from living near parks and
schools depending on individual circumstances.
Janice Bellucci, a lawyer for sex offenders,
said the new guidelines are being unevenly
applied throughout the state. Bellucci said
she is also concerned that too many of the
sex offenders are labeled high risk and
remain subject to the residency prohibition.
Bellucci and others said the residency
restrictions are too restrictive and force
many sex offenders into homelessness.

Protests expand for low-wage workers

By Candice Choi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The Fight for $15

campaign to win higher pay and a union
for fast-food workers is expanding to
represent a variety of low-wage workers
and become more of a social justice
movement.
In New York City on Wednesday, more
than 100 chanting protesters gathered
outside a McDonalds around noon,
prompting the store to lock its doors to
prevent the crowd from streaming in.
Demonstrators laid on the sidewalk
outside to stage a die-in, which
became popular during the Black Lives
Matter protests after recent police
shootings of black men. Several wore
sweat shirts that said I Cant Breathe,
a nod to the last words of a black man in
New York City who died after he was put
in a police chokehold.

Obama to highlight his
family-friendly tax proposals
WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama is using Tax Day to draw new
attention to family-friendly tax proposals that havent exactly been
embraced by the Republican leaders of
Congress.
Obama was also answering questions
about working family issues at a town
hall Wednesday in Charlotte, North
Carolina, with the womens websites
BlogHer and SheKnows.
The president has called on Congress
to expand existing tax credits and create
new credits to help working families.
Lawmakers have taken no action.
Meanwhile, the House is expected
this week to pass a bill repealing the
estate tax.
The White House says eliminating
the tax would help a few thousand
wealthy households at a cost of about
$270 billion to the Treasury.
It says far more people, 44 million
families, would benefit under the presidents proposals.

Wendys worker from Milwaukee,

Wisconsin, said the police brutality
black men face is linked to the lack of
economic opportunity theyre given.
He said the protests were necessary to
send a message to companies.
If they dont see that it matters to us,
then it wont matter to them, Roach
said.
Organizers said demonstrations were
planned for more than 230 U.S. cities
and college campuses, as well as dozens
of cities overseas. Among those who
joined the latest day of protests around
the country Wednesday were airport
workers, Walmart workers and adjunct
professors.
The campaign began in late 2012 and
is being spearheaded by the Service
Employees International Union, which
represents low-wage workers in areas
like home care, child care and building
cleaning services. Mary Kay Henry, the
SEIUs president, said the push has

already helped prompt local governments to consider higher minimum

wages, nudged companies to announce
pay hikes and made it easier for SEIU
members to win better contracts. Those
results are inspiring other groups of
workers, she said.
It has defied a sense of hopelessness, she said.
In Jackson, Mississippi, around 30
people protested in a McDonalds
before being kicked out, with one of the
demonstrators being arrested for trespassing. Protesters also gathered outside McDonalds restaurants in cities
including Denver, Los Angeles and
Albany, New York.
Even if fast-food workers and others
never become union members, winning
higher pay for them would benefit the
SEIU by helping lift pay for its own
members, said Susan Schurman, dean of
school of management and labor relations at Rutgers.

Climate change plan faces

high-profile legal test

it up to them to draw up plans to meet the

targets.

WASHINGTON The centerpiece of

the Obama administrations effort to
tackle climate change is facing a highprofile legal test as a federal appeals court
considers a plan that has triggered furious
opposition from Republicans, industry
figures and coal-reliant states.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C.
Circuit hears arguments Thursday in two
cases challenging the Environmental
Protection Agencys ambitious proposal
to slash carbon pollution from the
nations coal-fired power plants that is
blamed for global warming.
The lawsuits one from a coalition of
15 states and another brought by Murray
Energy Corp., the nations largest privately held coal mining company are
part of a growing political attack from
opponents who say the move is illegal
and will kill jobs, cripple demand for
coal and drive up electricity prices.
The rule proposed by the
Environmental Protection Agency last
year requires states to cut carbon emissions by 30 percent by 2030. It gives
customized targets to each state, leaving

Congress OKs bill reshaping

Medicare doctors fees
WASHINGTON Conservatives
hated that its expected to swell federal deficits over the coming decade.
Liberals complained that it shortchanged health programs for children
and women.
But after years of complaints and
failed efforts, huge majorities of both
parties in Congress finally banded
together and there was no stopping
the doc fix.
The Senate gave final approval late
Tuesday to the $214 billion bipartisan measure, which permanently
recasts how Medicare reimburses doctors for treating over 50 million elderly people. It also provides extra
money for health care programs for
children and low-income people,
which Democrats coveted, and
imposed higher costs on some higher-income Medicare beneficiaries,
which Republicans touted as a victory.

tiny aircraft onto the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol after flying through restricted airspace around the National Mall
Wednesday.
The pilot was Doug Hughes, 61, a Postal Service worker
from Ruskin, Florida, according to a person who was briefed
by Capitol Police and revealed the information on condition
of anonymity. On his website, Hughes took responsibility
for the stunt and said he was delivering letters to all 535
members of Congress to draw attention to campaign finance
corruption.
As I have informed the authorities, I have no violent
inclinations or intent, Hughes wrote on his website,
thedemocracyclub.org. An ultralight aircraft poses no
major physical threat it may present a political threat to
graft. I hope so. Theres no need to worry Im just delivering the mail.
A second source, a Senate aide, said Capitol Police knew of
the plan shortly before Hughes took off, and said he had previously been interviewed by the U.S. Secret Service. The
sources spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss details
of the investigation. Capitol Police declined to publicly
confirm the mans identity.
Capitol Police identified the open-air aircraft, which
sported the U.S. Postal Service logo and landed about half a
city block from the Capitol building, as a gyrocopter with
a single occupant. About two hours after the device had
landed, police announced that a bomb squad had cleared it and
nothing hazardous had been found. The authorities then
moved it off the Capitol lawn to a secure location.
Hughes flew to Washington from the vicinity of
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, which took about an hour, said
Ben Montgomery, a reporter with the Tampa Bay Times.
Montgomery said Hughes discussed his plan in advance with
the newspaper, had meticulously plotted his flight and considered himself on a mission that was sort of a mix of P.T.
Barnum and Paul Revere.
House Homeland Security panel Chairman Michael
McCaul, R-Texas, said the pilot landed on his own, but
authorities were prepared to shoot him down if he had made
it much closer to the Capitol. Had it gotten any closer to the
speakers balcony they have long guns to take it down, but
it didnt. It landed right in front, McCaul said.
The Federal Aviation Administration said the pilot had not
been in contact with air traffic controllers and the FAA didnt
authorize him to enter restricted airspace.
Airspace security rules that cover the Capitol and the
District of Columbia prohibit private aircraft flights without
prior coordination and permission. Violators can face civil
and criminal penalties.
The White House said President Barack Obama had been
briefed on the situation.
Witnesses said the craft approached the Capitol from the
west, flying low over the National Mall and the Capitol
reflecting pool across the street from the building. It barely
cleared a row of trees and a statue of Gen. Ulysses Grant.
John Jewell, 72, a tourist from Statesville, North
Carolina, said the craft landed hard and bounced. An officer
was already there with a gun drawn. He didnt get out until
police officers told him to get out. He had his hands up and
was quickly led away by the police, Jewell said. They
snatched him pretty fast.
Elizabeth Bevins, a tourist from Atlanta, said she was
standing across the street from the Capitol when the little
gyrocopter flew in around 20 or 30 feet high, and it just sort
of plopped down on the lawn.
Police with rifles yelled at the pilot not to move and told
bystanders to run with their heads down, said Nora Neus, 21,
a junior at the University of Virginia who was in town for a
job interview. I thought it was a joke at first. My next
thought was this is something really bad, she said.

Protester rushes ECB

chief Draghi at press conference
FRANKFURT, Germany It was supposed to be the
European Central Banks first calm meeting in months.
President Mario Draghi was to explain how smoothly the
banks stimulus program was going.
But just as he began his press conference, a protester
startled participants by running from the first row of seats
and leaping onto the table in front of him. She hurled what
appeared to be confetti and screamed at him.
Security guards dragged her off the stage in seconds and
took Draghi into a side room.

Bank of America posts 1Q profit of $2.98 billion

NEW YORK Bank of America returned to profitability
in the first quarter as the bank was able to move forward
from its legal troubles last year. However, the results came
in short of some analysts estimates.
The consumer banking giant said Wednesday that it
earned $2.98 billion after payments to preferred shareholders, compared with a loss of $514 million a year earlier. Net revenue fell to $21.2 billion compared with
$22.56 billion in the same period a year earlier.
Bank of Americas results missed expectations.
Financial analysts surveyed by FactSet expected 29 cents
per share, which typically excludes one-time items.

Seattle CEO to cut his pay so

every worker earns $70,000
SEATTLE The CEO of Gravity Payments, a Seattlebased company that processes credit-card payments, told
his employees this week that he was cutting his roughly
$1 million salary and using company profits so they
would each earn a base salary of $70,000, to be phased in
over three years.

NEW YORK Rising corporate

profits and a jump in oil prices helped
push the stock market to a modest gain
on Wednesday. Delta and Intel led the
way up after turning in results that beat
Wall Streets forecasts. The price of oil
soared to its highest price this year,
driving up energy stocks.
For investors, any good news comes
as a welcome surprise this earnings
season, which is widely expected to be
the worst in years. Analysts predict
that companies in the S&P 500 will
report a 3 percent drop in profits.
Most of the blame lies with the slump
in oil prices over the past year, which
has squeezed oil and gas companies,
and a strong dollar, which diminishes
the value of profits earned abroad when
theyre brought back home.
So far, theres no signal that this
quarter is really a harbinger of a profit
recession, said Jeremy Zirin, head of
investment strategy at UBS Wealth
Management. I think thats why the

market is reacting positively today.

The Standard & Poors 500 index
rose 10.79 points, or 0.5 percent, to
close at 2, 106. 63. Transocean, an
operator of drilling rigs, soared 10
percent, the biggest gain in the index.
The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 75.91 points, or 0.4 percent, to
18,112.61, while the Nasdaq composite added 33.73 points, or 0.7 percent,
to 5,011.02.
Delta Air Lines said its quarterly
profit more than tripled as passengers
flew more and fuel prices plunged from
a year ago. The results sent Deltas
stock up $1. 12, or 3 percent, to
$44.20.
After the market closed Tuesday,
Intel, the worlds largest maker of
computer chips, reported quarterly
profits that beat analysts targets.
Intels stock surged $1.34, or 4 percent, to $32.83.
Crude oil jumped $3.10 to settle at
$56.39, hitting its highest price this
year, after the Energy Department said
that storage of crude rose by the smallest amount in three months. Brent
crude, a benchmark for international
oils used by many U.S. refineries, rose

$1.89 to close at $60.32 in London.

Major markets in Europe ended the
day mixed. Germanys DAX finished
flat while Frances CAC-40 gained 0.7
percent. Britains FTSE 100 index of
leading shares added 0.3 percent.
Minutes after being forced from the
stage by a protester, Mario Draghi, the
president of the European Central
Bank, indicated that the bank will
stick with its monthly purchases of
bonds. A recent run of solid economic
data fed speculation that the ECB will
ease the pace of its bond-buying,
aimed at spurring economic growth.
His briefing came after the bank kept
its main interest rate unchanged at a
record low of 0.05 percent.
In Asia, Japans Nikkei 225 stock
index slipped 0. 2 percent. Hong
Kongs Hang Seng gained 0.2 percent,
while the Shanghai composite index
lost 1.2 percent.
Back in the U.S., Bank of America
turned in a quarterly profit following a
big loss a year ago as it put some of its
legal troubles behind it. But revenue
remained flat for its main businesses.
The banks stock dropped 18 cents, or
1 percent, to $15.64.

Depressed euro boon for travelers

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LISBON, Portugal Vacations in

Europe have a new attraction: the euros
steep drop in value is making the continent much cheaper for tourists from
across the world, especially the United
States and China.
For American tourists, the dollars
strength translates into a discount of
around 25 percent compared with this
time last year. Chinas currency has
risen some 20 percent against the euro
over the past year.
And eurozone residents feeling the
pinch from their sluggish economies are
more likely to stay inside the bloc,
where they wont feel the currency
changes.
That means the ingredients are in
place for a great year for tourism in
Europe, says Nick Greenfield, head of

tour operator relations at the Londonbased European Tour Operators

Association.
The euro has fallen against many currencies in recent times, but its drop has
been particularly pronounced against the
dollar. The euro was trading at $1.057 on
Wednesday, having been as high as
$1.40 a year ago. Tim Cooper, a global
economist at BMI Research in London,
says his company expects the euro and
dollar to reach parity later this year.
The European Central Banks policies
have been weakening the euro, while
those of the U.S. Federal Reserve have
been bolstering the dollar. The euro has
also been dragged down by fears over
Greeces debts and the blocs muted economic growth.
U.S. bookings to some European
countries have risen by up to 20 percent
so far, European tourism officials and

American travel companies report.

Lyssandros Tsilidis, president of the
Hellenic Association of Travel and
Tourist Agents, said Greece has seen a
15-20 percent increase in reservations
from the U.S. Europes biggest longhaul market compared to the same
time last year. Spain saw a 12 percent
increase in January and almost 19 percent in February. Officials anticipate
more growth, which they attribute to the
dollars strength.
The exchange rate certainly makes
things easier to enjoy, said Bob
Homeyer, a retired businessman from
San Diego on vacation in Madrid with
his wife. We have had some fine meals
for what worked out to be reasonable
prices, and our visit to the Prado Museum
worked out at 7 euros ($7.48) each,
which is a real bargain, he said outside
the Madrid landmark.

EU raises stakes with antitrust charges against Google

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BRUSSELS The European Union

has charged Google with abusing its
dominance in Internet searches and
opened a probe into its Android mobile
system, massively raising the stakes
in its ve-year antitrust battle with the
tech giant.
Wednesdays move could lead to billions in nes for Google if the case
shows that the way it does business in
the 28-country bloc is illegal, as well
as years of legal wrangling.

The EU can impose nes of 10 percent of annual revenue, or some $6 billion, and force the company to overhaul its system for recommending
websites in Europe.
The EU executive commission said it
found that Google gives systematic
favorable treatment to its Google
Shopping at the expense of others in
its general search results.
Margrethe Vestager, the EUs competition commissioner, said that was a
problem because Google is so dominant in Europe. It has a market share of

over 90 percent of Internet searches in

the EU, compared with around 70 percent in the U.S.
It is not based on the merits of
Google Shopping that Google
Shopping always comes up rst,
Vestager said. Dominant companies
have a responsibility not to abuse
their powerful market position.
Though Wednesdays charges centered on the shopping service, the EU
said it was pursuing other antitrust
issues against Google, including a
probe of its online ad business.

Rapp named coach of the year

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Serra basketball head coach Chuck Rapp

was named Cal-Hi Sports State Coach of the
Year, it was announced Tuesday.
In leading the Padres to the programs first
ever Central Coast Section Open Division
championship and to a berth in the Northern
California playoffs, Rapp becomes the first
coach of a San Mateo County-based team to
earn the honor. It has been given since 1960.
The only other West Catholic Athletic
League coach ever to win the award was St.

Francis head coach Steve Filios in 1995.

Filios is a Serra alum.
Its just a tremendous source of pride to
watch his teams play, Serra athletic director
Dean Ayoob said. I think they epitomize
what Serra High School is all about.
Ayoob said this years team, that notched
a 23-6 overall record, was a special one
because the team was composed of a group
of gym rats willing to work hard.
Rapp has coached the Serra varsity squad
since the 1999-2000 season. He took his
first post at the school in 1993 as head coach
of the freshman team.

Mitty head coach Tim Kennedy has

coached against Rapp for the past seven
years. Previously, Kennedy served on
Rapps coaching staff as a Padres varsity
assistant from 2006-08. He also graduated
from Serra in 1995 and was there when Rapp
first arrived on campus.
I think the Coach of the Year is so well
deserved for this team just because he got
every ounce of [this years team], Kennedy
said. Theyre a talented group but he

Another Sequoia comeback Warriors
Denver to close
By Terry Bernal

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Matt Lopez certainly made the seasons

highlight reel and just maybe he made the
play of the year Wednesday at Sequoia.
In a game that saw seven balks, 10 walks
and one batter get craned in the helmet with a
fastball, the cream that rose to the surface
amid a weird and wild game was a dazzling
defensive effort that saw Lopez tumble over
and ultimately through the temporary
fence in center field.
The fifth-inning web gem by the
Cherokees center fielder loomed large as it
kept a two-run deficit in check. Sequoia went
on to rally for seven runs in the bottom of the
sixth to score an 8-6 comeback win over
Sacred Heart Prep.
Sequoia manager Corey Uhalde said it wasnt the first time hes seen someone tackle
the fence.
I would say (its happened) a couple times,
but its been [Lopez] every time, Uhalde
said. If anybody is going to make that
catch, hes the guy thats going to do it.
With the win, Sequoia (6-3 in PAL Bay, 146 overall) moves into a three-way tie with
SHP and Carlmont. The victory stands as the
third dramatic comeback for the Cherokees
this month. April 2 against Menlo, Sequoia
trailed by six runs before rallying in the late
innings for an 8-7 win. Last Thursday against
Menlo-Atherton, the Cherokees again found
themselves down by six but generated a 7-6
walk-off victory.
Wednesdays come-from-behind win wasnt
as dramatic in the sense the Cherokees only
trailed by two runs, but the recurring theme
has got Sequoia believing no deficit is too big
to overcome. And more importantly, it has
got the Cherokees climbing in the Peninsula
Athletic League Bay Division standings, having won four of their last five games in league
play and seven of their last eight overall.
We talked about those last games being
worth more than one game in the standings,
and this is why its because, you go in
with a two-run deficit in the sixth inning
and every person on our bench knows we
can compete, Uhalde said.

Heart Preps Michael York attempting to advance from second to third on an infield grounder.
The Cherokees went on to win 8-6 in their third dramatic comeback victory this month.

OAKLAND Not hoots or hollers were

heard in Golden States locker room. No hugs
or high-fives were seen, and no major celebrations were in the works.
Reserved but happy, is how coach Steve
Kerr described his team.
After the best regular season in franchise
history, the Warriors want more. In fact, nothing less than a championship might be good
enough now.
Klay Thompson scored 25 points before
resting in the second half, and the Warriors
wrapped up a record-setting season with a 133126 victory over the Denver Nuggets on
Wednesday night.
You kind of got to let it sink in, just how
historic this season was when it comes to all
the great teams that have suited up in this
league, said star Stephen Curry, a leading candidate for NBA MVP. The records crazy. We
want to enjoy that. But its playoff time. We
have to be ready.
Starters on both sides rested most of the
game, with the Warriors tuning up for the playoffs and the Nuggets long out of contention.
The biggest developments for Golden State,
which secured home-court advantage throughout the playoffs a couple weeks ago, came on
the out-of-town scoreboard.
The top-seeded Warriors (67-15) learned
theyll face New Orleans in the first round after
the Pelicans beat San Antonio to clinch a
postseason berth. Game 1 of the best-of-seven
series is Saturday in Oakland.
Golden State went 3-1 against New Orleans
this season.
Weve got to get to work. Now it gets
hard, Kerr said.
Denver (30-52) ended with a loss to the
Warriors for the third straight season,
including the first round of the 2013 playoffs. Melvin Hunt finished 10-13 as interim
coach after Brian Shaws dismissal, and he

after the jury forewoman
pronounced him guilty in
the slaying of Odin
Lloyd, a 27-year-old
landscaper and amateur
weekend football player
who was dating the sister
of Hernandezs ancee.

Hernandezs mother, Terri, and his

ancee, Shayanna Jenkins, cried and gasped
when they heard the verdict. Hernandez, his
eyes red, mouthed to them: Be strong. Be
strong. Lloyds mother also cried.
Jurors deliberated for 36 hours over seven
days before rendering their decision, which
also included convictions on weapons
charges.
The jury found that he was just a man who
committed a brutal murder, District
Attorney Thomas Quinn said after the ver-

athlete meant nothing in the end.
Lloyd was shot six times early on June
17, 2013, in a deserted industrial park near
Hernandezs home in North Attleborough.

Davis leads Pelicans past Spurs and into playoffs

By Brett Martel
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW ORLEANS Anthony Davis had 31

points and 13 rebounds and the New Orleans
Pelicans earned their first playoff berth
since 2011 with a 108-103 victory over the
San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night.
Davis, wholl make his playoff debut
against Golden State next weekend, came
through in the waning minutes with a pair
of clutch jumpers, two blocks and two
rebounds to prevent the Spurs from pulling
off a 23-point comeback.
Tyreke Evans had 19 points and 11
assists, and Eric Gordon added 14 points for
New Orleans, which had to win to make the
postseason because Oklahoma City also
won in Minnesota. The teams finished with
identical records, but the Pelicans held the
tiebreaker on head-to-head results.
Jrue Holiday added 11 points, capped by
game-sealing free throws with 9.5 seconds
left.

Tony Parker had 23

points and Borris Diaw
20 for San Antonio,
which needed to win to
secure the second seed in
the Western Conference
playoffs.
The loss ended the
Spurs 11-game winning
Anthony Davis streak and prevented
them from winning their
fifth straight Southwest Division title.
Instead, they dropped out of the top four
seeds because Houston won.
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich didnt seem
to take the loss too hard. He walked toward
New Orleans bench to find his former player and assistant, Pelicans coach Monty
Williams, and allowed a slight smile during
an extended embrace.
Tim Duncan had 15 points and 10
rebounds, while Kawhi Leonard added 14
points and 10 rebounds for the Spurs.

NFL stadium czar meets

with Oakland city officials
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND The NFLs stadium czar has

visited Oakland to press Raiders executives
and city and county officials for signs of
progress in their efforts to keep the team in
the East Bay.
The Contra Costa Times reports the visit
from NFL Executive Vice President Eric
Grubman comes as Oakland and Alameda
County have begun working in tandem with
a private developer to keep the football
team from moving south once again.
Grubman was not available for comment

Wednesday after attending the meeting at

Raiders headquarters in Alameda.
Alameda County Supervisor Scott
Haggerty called the meeting productive but
says Grubman still needed convincing that
progress was being made.
Since the Raiders announced their interest
in Carson, the city of Oakland and Alameda
County have begun discussions with their
development partner to advance Coliseum
City, which would be built on the 120-acre
Coliseum complex in East Oakland that
they jointly own.

23 in the second and as much as 18 in the
third, back-to-back 3s by Manu Ginobili
and Patty Mills cut it to 82-71 heading into
the fourth.
Then Mills hit a jumper as he was fouled
just seconds into the final period, cutting it
to eight.
The crowds transition from jubilation to
tension was evident when Diaws driving
layup had the Spurs as close as 86-82 with
7:38 left, but the Pelicans responded with
the resilience that had gotten them this far.
They came up a series of defensive stops,
and driving layups by Gordon and Evans
helped push their lead back to 11.
Gordon later added a clutch 3, and Davis
a baseline jumper as the shot clock
expired with 1:36 left to keep the Spurs at
arms length.
Williams had urged his young team to
soak in the big-game environment and
embrace it. Then the Pelicans went out and

Curry reportedly makes

77 straight 3-pointers in practice
OAKLAND Stephen Curry has been
known to put on incredible shooting displays. He did something following a recent
practice that even he had never done.
ESPN reports that Curry made 77 consecutive 3-pointers following Tuesdays practice. Curry says its the most 3s in a row he
has ever made. He also says he made 94 of
100 shots during the session.

from the mostly red-clad fans packing their

arena.
New Orleans shot 68 percent (15 of 22) in
the first quarter, working the crowd into a
frenzy with a slew of highlights.
Davis had 10 points in the period, highlighted by his emphatic, breakaway dunk
after hed corralled a loose ball at mid-court.
He also blocked a shot, and produced a
heady assist with a pass in transition from
mid-court to the left corner, where Anderson
hit a 3.
Then Jrue Holiday, who returned from a
nearly three month absence only last
Friday, hit a jumper at the horn to put the
Pelicans ahead 34-19.
New Orleans lead reached 20 less than a
minute into the second quarter, when
Holidays 3 made it 39-19.
The lead grew to 23 before the Spurs started to trim it back.
Parker had 16 points in the first half, which
he closed with a jumper as time expired to
trim San Antonios deficit to 63-47.

Warriors brief
After most practices, Curry rotates
around the perimeter as assistant Bruce
Fraser feeds him the ball. He typically
takes 10 shots from several spots and often
goes around the arc twice.
Curry, a leading candidate for league MVP,
already has surpassed his own NBA record
for most 3-pointers in a season. He enters
Wednesday nights regular-season finale
against Denver with 284 3-pointers.

Kerr, who won three titles playing with

Michael Jordan in Chicago and two more
under Gregg Popovich in San Antonio, knows
that means little now.

as the top seed, theyll have their work cut out

encouraged players to listen to the playoff

chatter around the Warriors and use it as fuel
moving forward.
Our guys hear it, and it hurts. And I want it
to hurt, Hunt said. I want them to be deeply
wounded by this so that when we come back
next year I wont have to motivate them or get
into a guy. They will do it themselves.
More than anything that happened on the
court, the night brought finality to a season
full of firsts and fun for the Bay Areas
beloved NBA team.
The Warriors set franchise bests for wins
(67), home wins (39) and road wins (28).
Curry surpassed his own league-record for 3pointers in a season by hitting 286 beyond
the arc. And Kerr won more games than any
rookie coach in NBA history.

The Warriors have not reached the Western

Conference finals since 1976. That came a
year after the franchise won its only Bay
Area championship.
I like the challenge of having to play a
good team right away, Kerr said. Itll bring
out the best in us. Itll bring out our edge. We
know what were up against.
David Lee, an All-Star two years ago but a
reserve now, sat out with a strained lower
back. Kerr said hes not sure if Lee will be able
to play Saturday.

SAN FRANCISCO Bruce Bochy rested a

few regulars who might have needed a break,
whether it be mental or physical.
Stuck in an early-season rut and scoring
funk, San Franciscos skipper is searching
for answers for the beat-up, reigning World
Series champions following a 4-2 loss
Wednesday night and a sweep by the firstplace Colorado Rockies.
We have to find a way to do a little bit
more, all of us, including myself, Bochy
said. More important is how we are handling this. This club has been through it last
year. Weve had a lot of experience with it.
We just have to keep pushing. Were getting
tested and well get out of this.
Tyler Matzek (1-0) outpitched two-time
NL Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum,
retiring 12 of 13 batters during one stretch.
The NL West-leading Rockies extended the
best road start in franchise history to 6-0
while sending the Giants to a sixth straight
defeat.
Lincecum left a slider a little up on Nolan
Arenados two-out three-run homer in the
first to dig himself an early hole the Giants
couldnt get out of with their struggling

McHugh Ks 11 as Astros top As

Astros 6, As 1

Thursday April 16, 2015

HOUSTON Most of the Oakland As had

not seen much of Houston starter Collin
McHugh until Wednesday night. After facing
him for 5 2-3 innings, they werent any
more comfortable.
Oakland struggled at the plate against the
Houston starter striking out 11 times before
McHugh was lifted in the Astros 6-1 win.
With little experience against him the As
were unable to get their bats revved up.
McHugh (2-0) allowed six hits and one run
in the win. McHugh is the only Astros starter
to earn a win since Dallas Keuchels openingday victory. His 11 strikeouts were a season
high and one shy of his career high as he
unsettled the As through his effective start.
The As have been outscored 32-14 in their
five losses, compared to a 42-1 margin in
their five wins.
McHugh was relieved by Tony Sipp with
two outs in the sixth after Ike Davis doubled.
Oakland starter Drew Pomeranz (1-1) followed his masterful two-hit, seven-inning
performance against Seattle by allowing
four runs and six hits in five innings.

The Astros hit Pomeranz hard early, with

Jose Altuve leading off with a 400-foot double to left-center and Lowrie later following
with a two-run homer off the train tracks
above the left-field fence.
Oakland picked up a run in the second
inning when Marcus Semien beat out a close
play for an infield single with the bases
loaded. Semiens hit was the fourth Oakland
single in the inning, scoring Billy Butler.
Lowrie had an RBI double in the third
inning, and Altuve added a run-scoring single
in the fifth to make it 4-1.
Valbuena gave Houston a
5-1 lead with a homer into
the first row of the Crawford
Boxes in left field.
Butler extended his hitting
streak to an American
League-leading 10 games.
He became the first player in
club history to record a hit in
his first 10 games with the
Athletics. On Friday, Butler
returns to Kansas City,
where he spent the first eight
years of his career.

AT&T Park from June 13-15 last year.

It was good to get the first one out of the
way, Duffy said. I came up in other situations with runners in scoring position and
tried to do too much. It would have been better to come through then.
Charlie Blackmon added a sacrifice fly for
the Rockies, who at 7-2 have matched the
best nine-game start in franchise history by
joining the 1995, 97 and 2011 clubs.
Matzek took a little while to find his fastball then allowed five hits and one run in six
innings, struck out two and walked one
while earning just his third road victory (37) in 12 starts
If we keep throwing the ball well and
stay healthy, theres no reason we cant
play like this the whole season, Matzek
said.
Matzek hit Giants leadoff hitter Nori Aoki
in the back with his fourth pitch of the
game. He then stole his third base before
advancing to third on backup catcher
Michael McKenry, giving Nick Hundley a
breather.
Pagan singled home Aoki moments later.
Aoki went 0 for 3 and had his career-best
17-game hitting streak snapped that dated
to Sept. 21 last year.

MLB brief
D-backs promote Cuban OF Tomas
The Arizona Diamondbacks have recalled
heralded outfielder Yasmany Tomas from
Triple-A Reno to give them a spark off the
bench.
Arizona signed the 24-year-old Cuban
defector to a $68.5 million, six-year deal in
December.
General manager Dave Stewart said the
Diamondbacks could also play Tomas in the
outfield or at third base against left-handed
pitchers.

Honoring No. 42 Phelps aiming for fifth Olympics in Rio

extends to space
By Beth Harris

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

By Joe Resnick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Jackie Robinson Day

was celebrated even in space this year.
While Rachel Robinson, the players
widow, and Commissioner Rob Manfred
were set to honor Robinson in a ceremony
at Dodger Stadium in conjunction with
Major League Baseballs annual Civil
Rights Game, astronaut
Terry Virts wore a
Dodgers jersey with
Robinsons No. 42
along with a Brooklyn
cap at the International
Space Station orbiting
the Earth.
Wednesday marked the
68th anniversary of
Jackie
Robinson breaking the
Robinson
major league color barrier.
I can remember reading a book about
Jackie when I was in the first grade, Virts
said in a video posted on MLB.com. Even
at that young age, I was really impressed
with what he did beyond baseball. Jackie,
alongside his wife Rachel, opened up a
world of opportunities that had been closed
to so many Americans simply because of
the color of their skin. What he did took
courage, a lot of courage. He had to endure
things that most of us could not imagine,
and he had to do it while maintaining composure that most of us couldnt begin to
muster.
Opening-day rosters included 8.3 percent
of players who identified as AfricanAmerican, according to Richard Lapchicks
Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport at
the University of Central Florida. That was
a slight increase from 8.2 last year, which
equaled the study low set in 2007.
Robinsons No. 42 was retired throughout
the major leagues in 1997, with players
already using the number grandfathered in.
Yankees closer Mariano Rivera was the last
player to wear it, in 2013. ThenCommissioner Bud Selig decided in 2005 that
all teams would honor Robinson each April
15. Every major league player, manager and
coach on the field wears No. 42 on the date.
I came up in the Dodger organization,
and it was special for all of us young guys to
hear the firsthand accounts from like Roy
Campanella and Carl Erskine, and all the
guys that played on that Brooklyn Dodger
team, of just what a special person Jackie
Robinson was, not only as a ball player,
but as a human being and what he went
through, Los Angeles Angels manager
Mike Scioscia said. Every spring we make
sure we keep messages alive that are important and inspirational, and Jackies certainly one of them. I think (for) that the next
generation ... its an important part of
American history that needs to be taught
and needs to be understood.
Robinson was a six-time All-Star, the
1947 major league Rookie of the Year and
the NL MVP in 1949, when he won the
leagues batting title.

TRIAL
Continued from page 11
Hernandezs arrest, the Patriots cut him
from the team. The team declined to comment on the verdict.
Prosecutors presented a wealth of evidence that Hernandez was with Lloyd at the
time he was killed, including home security
video from Hernandezs mansion, witness
testimony and cellphone records that
tracked Lloyds movements.
Hernandezs lawyer, James Sultan,
acknowledged for the rst time during closing arguments that Hernandez was there
when Lloyd was killed.
But the attorney pinned the shooting on
two of Hernandezs friends, Ernest Wallace
and Carlos Ortiz, saying his client was a
23-year-old kid who witnessed a shocking
crime and did not know what to do. Wallace

MESA, Ariz. Michael Phelps is aiming

to compete in a fifth Olympics next year in
Rio, although the 18-time Olympic champion wont swim in the world championships
this summer.
Phelps confirmed his intention to make
one last run at the Olympics on Wednesday.
You guys heard it here first, he told
reporters at Skyline Aquatic Center, where
he will be competing in his first meet since
serving a six-month suspension by USA
Swimming after a second drunken driving
arrest last fall. I am looking forward to
next year. I dont think its too hard to really realize why I came back.
But Phelps said he wont be swimming at
the world meet in Russia in August as part of
the punishment set forth by the sports U.S.
governing body. He had already qualified in
three events before being banned from the
last major international meet before the Rio
de Janeiro Olympics.
I really enjoy being on those trips, he
said. Thats why it is painful to think that
I wont have the chance to compete at
worlds.
There had been informal discussions
about Phelps being reinstated to the U.S.

team for worlds, but it

would have meant removing swimmers that were
named to the team in his
absence.
By no means do I want
this to be a distraction
from the team, he said.
No way would I ever
Michael Phelps want to displace a member of that team.
Instead, he plans to compete at U.S. summer nationals in San Antonio, Texas, during
the same time as worlds.
Phelps is back in Arizona, where he
attended 45 days of inpatient alcohol rehabilitation after being arrested on DUI
charges in his hometown of Baltimore last
September. He offered no specifics about
his treatment, which he continued in
Maryland. He also enrolled in Alcoholics
Anonymous.
The 29-year-old swimmer was sentenced
to 18 months of probation. He said hes
done more growing up in recent months
than he has in his entire life.
Phelps longtime coach, Bob Bowman,
acknowledged his star swimmers second
arrest for drunken driving made it pretty
hard to convince me that anything was
going to lead us back to something that

Sequoias seven-run sixth wasnt exactly

an offensive explosion though. It was more
like a pitching implosion by the SHP (6-3,
11-8), as the Gators yielded six walks and a
hit batsman in the inning. In fact, the
Cherokees had just one hit in the inning a
leadoff double by freshman Kasi Pohahau
before sending 13 batters to the plate against
three different Gators pitchers in the frame.
The pitching meltdown spoiled a solid
effort by SHP starting pitcher Angelo Tonas.
The freshman left-hander worked 5 1/3
innings to take a no-decision.
He did a great job, SHP manager Anthony
Granato said. What can you say? The kids a
freshman and goes out there every time and
throws strikes, and does what he can. He gives
you a chance to win ballgames. Unfortunately,
we havent backed him up too well.
Tonas battled through the first five frames,
during which Sequoia stranded eight base runners. But when he departed with two on and
one out amid a 3-1 Gators lead in the sixth,
his bullpen simply could not find the plate.
The guys we brought in just didnt throw
strikes, Granato said. Normally they do.
After the freshman southpaw departed, six
consecutive Cherokees reached base, including five free passes and a hit batsman. With
the bases loaded, Sequoia junior Mike
Michelini was drilled in the helmet to force
home Diego Arellano with the tying run.
Michelini was fine and remained in the game.
Cleanup hitter Tommy Lopiparo followed
with a walk to force home Lopez with the goahead run.
We started putting together good ABs,

Lopez said. Thats what our coach preaches

just see the ball well and put good ABs
together and things will fall into place.
Thats exactly what happened this inning.
We saw the ball well and made the pitcher
work.
The Gators didnt go quietly in the seventh
though. Entering their final at-bat trailing 83, they sent eight batters to the plate amid a
three-run rally. John Van Sweden, Cole
March and Andrew Daschbach strung together three consecutive RBI knocks Marchs
was his second double of the game but
right-hander Kyle Pruhsmeier entered in
relief to lock down the final out of the game.
Sequoia sophomore Matt Smith earned the
win with 1 2/3 innings of relief. Cherokees
starting pitcher Blake Carbonneau went five
innings, yielding three runs to take a nodecision.
The final out Carbonneau recorded in the
game was Lopezs dazzling catch in center
field to rob Daschbach of a home run. The
Gators were leading 3-1 and had a runner on
second base when Daschbach hit a towering
drive to deep center. But Lopez got a good
jump and tracked the ball with a direct route.
Going straight back, he never took his eyes
off the ball.
But as Sequoia uses a temporary fence,
there is no warning track in the outfield.
Therefore, Lopez didnt know when hed run
into the waist-high mesh fence. The result
was Lopez gloving it just as he hit the fence,
tumbling through it as he went end-over-end.
His saving grace was the fence does give
way.
When I hit the fence, I just flipped over
and hit the ground and just made sure I still
had the ball in my glove, Lopez said. And
the right fielder was right there, so I just
handed him the ball so the umpires knew I
caught it.

and Ortiz will stand trial later.

Prosecutors have suggested Lloyd may
have been killed because he knew too much
about Hernandezs alleged involvement in a
2012 drive-by shooting in Boston that
killed two. But they were not allowed to tell
the jury that because the judge said it was
speculation.
As a result, they never offered jurors a
motive beyond saying Hernandez appeared
angry with Lloyd at a nightclub two nights
before the killing.
In the 2012 case, Hernandez is accused of
gunning down a pair of men over a spilled
drink at a nightclub.
All 12 jurors and three alternates spoke to
reporters Wednesday, saying they were
shocked by the defense admission that
Hernandez was at the scene of the killing
an acknowledgement that they said helped
conrm that he was guilty.
They also described how the judge talked
to them privately after they reached their

decision and told them about other allegations and evidence not presented in the
case, including the 2012 slayings and the
last texts Lloyd sent minutes before he died
saying that said he was with NFL.
The jurors said that information reafrmed
their feeling that they had made the right
decision.
In the Lloyd killing, the defense argued
that investigators xated on Hernandez
because of his celebrity and conducted a
shoddy investigation in their zeal to conrm their suspicions.
Prosecutors said Hernandez organized the
killing, summoned his two friends to help
carry it out and drove Lloyd and the others to
the secluded spot in the industrial park.
During closing arguments, prosecutors also
accused Hernandez of pulling the trigger,
though under the law it was not necessary to
prove who red the shots to convict him.
Security video from inside Hernandezs
home showed him holding what appeared to

SEQUOIA

wed be proud of.

Phelps called Bowman a few times from
rehab, which the coach described as really
weird because he typically never heard
from Phelps away from the pool. Bowman
visited Phelps during treatment, still skeptical that the swimmer was there for any reason other than he had to be. But Bowman
left thinking differently.
I just had no doubt that he had changed in
a way that was really meaningful, Bowman
said. He was completely different and its
been that way every day since hes been
back.
Phelps pleaded guilty after his first drunken driving arrest in 2004. Five years later, a
photo was published of him using a marijuana pipe at a party, which drew a three-month
suspension and caused some sponsors to
drop him.
Phelps knows not everyone will believe
hes contrite and has changed.
If somebody doesnt believe the words
that are coming out of my mouth thats their
choice, he said. I, of course, would like to
show everybody in the world that I am in a
different place and I am much better than I
ever have been. I understand thats going to
take a lot of time. This week will be the first
week that I can start that.

The Scots (6-3, 15-5) moved into a threeway tie for first place in the PAL Bay

was killed. The surveillance system also
captured Hernandez, Wallace and Ortiz relaxing at his home hours after Lloyd was shot,
hanging out in the basement man cave,
lounging by the pool and cuddling
Hernandezs baby daughter.
The conviction carries a mandatory sentence of life without parole and automatically triggers an appeal to Massachusetts
highest court.
Hernandez was initially taken to the
states Cedar Junction prison, a maximumsecurity facility less than a 4-mile drive
from Gillette Stadium, where he once caught
touchdown passes from Tom Brady in front
of tens of thousands of fans.
He was to be processed there and eventually taken to Souza Baranowski prison in
Shirley, another maximum-security institution, according to Darren Duarte, a
spokesman
for the Massachusetts
Department of Corrections.

Islamic State militants seize villages in Iraq

By Sinan Salaheddin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD The Islamic State extremist

group launched an offensive Wednesday in
Iraqs western Anbar province, capturing
three villages near the provincial capital of
Ramadi in what was the most significant
threat to the city by the Sunni militants to
date.
The militants push comes after the
Islamic State was dealt a major blow earlier
this month, when Iraqi troops routed the
group from Tikrit, Saddam Husseins hometown.
Wednesdays fighting could also further
threaten Ramadi, 115 kilometers (70 miles)
west of Baghdad. Nearly a decade ago,
Ramadi was one of the strongholds of the
insurgency in the U.S.-led war in Iraq. It
now is mostly held by Iraqi government
forces, although militants control some
parts of it, mainly on the outskirts.
In a dawn advance, IS extremists seized
the villages of Sjariyah, Albu-Ghanim and
Soufiya, which had also been under govern-

ment control until now, and residents said

they had to flee their homes. Fighting was
also taking place on the eastern edges of
Ramadi, about 2 kilometers (a mile) from a
government building, they added.
In Soufiya, the militants bombed a police
station and took over a power plant. The
residents, who spoke on condition of
anonymity because they feared for their
safety, said airstrikes were trying to back up
Iraqi troops. Iraqi security officials could
not immediately be reached for comment.
Around noon Wednesday, the militants
opened another front with government
troops on three other villages to the northeast of Ramadi, the residents added.
An Iraqi intelligence official said the militants were preparing to launch another
offensive from the western side of the city,
describing the situation as critical.
The IS was also trying to take control of
the main highway that goes through
Ramadi to cut off supplies, the official said,
speaking on condition of anonymity
because he was not authorized to talk to the
media.

Defense Ministry spokesman Brig. Gen.

Tahseen Ibrahim acknowledged that Islamic
State militants gained a foothold in some
areas in Anbar. But he said reinforcements
were sent to the province and that airstrikes
from the U.S.-led coalition were supporting
Iraqi forces.
The situation is under control, and the
standoff will be resolved in the coming
hours, Ibrahim told The Associated Press.
He added, however, that most of the villagers in the area had fled from their homes
amid the fighting.
Hundreds of U.S. and coalition forces
have been training Iraqi troops at Anbars
Ain Al-Asad air base, about 110 kilometers
(68 miles) west of Ramadi, which came
under IS attack in mid-February. The attack,
which involved a suicide bomber, was
repelled.
The Anbar fighting coincides with Iraqi
Prime Minister Haider al-Abadis visit to
Washington where he met Tuesday with
President Barack Obama and appealed for
greater support from the coalition carrying
out airstrikes against the IS militants, who

Around the world

have also captured large areas in neighboring Syria. While Obama has pledged another $200 million in humanitarian aid, he
made no mention of any further military
support.
In an interview with a group of U.S.
reporters, al-Abadi made no mention of the
events in Ramadi. He spoke optimistically
of gaining Sunni tribal fighter participation in the governments offensive, saying
about 5,000 tribal fighters in Anbar had
signed up and received light weapons.
There is a problem because they are asking
for more advanced weapons, which to be
honest with you we dont possess, he said.
Those Sunnis are working hand-in-hand
with Iraqi security forces, al-Abadi said. As
an example of this cooperation, he said he
recently visited Habbaniya in Anbar
province and walked among 1,500 armed
Sunni tribal fighters.
I felt safe, he said. Thats how much
the situation has changed in the country.
That says a lot about the situation in
Anbar, he said.
Ramadi and Fallujah were major strong-

agreed to enter into a law enforcement dialogue with the United

States that will work to resolve these cases, Rathke said. The
dialogue is also expected to address cooperation on more routine
crimes, officials said.

Cubans to open talks about

U.S. fugitives as ties warm
HAVANA The U.S. and Cuba will open talks about two of
Americas most-wanted fugitives as part of a new dialogue about
law-enforcement cooperation made possible by President
Barack Obamas decision to remove Cuba from a list of state
sponsors of terror, the State Department announced Wednesday.
Cuban officials and ordinary citizens alike hailed Obamas
action to remove the island from the list, saying it heals a
decades-old insult to national pride and clears the way to swiftly
restore diplomatic relations.
State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke said Cuba had
agreed to talks about fugitives including Joanne Chesimard, aka
Assata Shakur, who was granted asylum by Fidel Castro after she
escaped from a U.S. prison where she was serving a sentence for
killing a New Jersey state trooper in 1973. The U.S. and Cuba
will also discuss the case of William Morales, a Puerto Rican
nationalist wanted in connection with bombings in New York
in the 1970s.
We see the reestablishment of diplomatic relations and the
reopening of an embassy in Havana as the means by which
well be able, more effectively, to press the Cuban government
on law enforcement issues such as fugitives. And Cuba has

Presumed deaths of 400

migrants among worst recent tragedies
MILAN The presumed drowning of 400 migrants in the
Mediterranean Sea is one of the deadliest known migrant
tragedies in the last decade, the U.N. refugee agency says, and
comes amid unprecedented wave of migration toward Europe
from Africa and the Middle East.
The deaths off the Libyan coast are part of a larger phenomenon that has proven hard for aid agencies to pin down: the presumed deaths thousands of migrants who take off in unseaworthy boats but never finish their voyages.
The Italian Coast Guard rescued about 140 people from the
shipwreck off the coast of Libya on Monday, and recovered nine
bodies, but could see immediately from the size of the capsized
smugglers boat that there were likely hundreds more on board.
The rescue was made during a five-day surge that saw Italian
ships rescue nearly 10,000 people at sea since Friday an
unprecedented rate in such a short period, according to Cmdr.
Filippo Marini, a Coast Guard spokesman,
Survivors of Mondays shipwreck reported that as many as
550 people were on board, according to aid workers.

Consumers buying more organic products

By Mary Clare Jalonick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The higher price of

organic foods and other products doesnt
seem to be deterring consumers: Sales
jumped 11 percent last year, an industry
report says.
Sales of organics have been rapidly growing since the United States put strict rules in
place and began certifying organic products
in 2002. According to the Agriculture
Department, the number of U.S. organic
operations has more than tripled since then;
the number grew 5 percent just last year.
The Organic Trade Association estimated in
a report released Wednesday that organics
now make up almost 5 percent of total food
sales in the United States, with sales for all
organic products totaling more than $39 billion last year.
As the industry has grown, giants like
General Mills and Kellogg have entered the
organic game and many small organic food
companies have become large businesses.
Laura Batcha, head of the trade association,
says that growth has helped the industry
move beyond a niche market.
The only way to create change is for there
to be widespread adoption, Batcha said.
Organic foods generally are grown with
fewer chemicals and artificial ingredients and
are produced according to a strict set of government standards. Foods cannot be labeled
organic unless their production adheres to
those rules, and those extra steps mean higher prices at the grocery store.
Much of organics growth is in nonfood
items like textiles and personal care items.

Foods and products labeled organic adhereto strict growing and producing guidelines.
The Organic Trade Association says those
nonfood sales jumped almost 14 percent last
year and totaled more than $3 billion.
Despite its success, the industry is facing
some major challenges, including struggles
to find enough organic ingredients for its
products. Much of the shortage is in organic
milk and eggs, due to low U.S. inventories of
organic corn and soybeans that feed cattle
and poultry. The industry says there have

also been some domestic shortages of fruits

and vegetables, which make up the largest
sector of the organic market, due to difficulties finding enough land suitable for organic
farming.
Some of the supply problems trace back to
cultural issues in highly agricultural areas,
where farmers see organic as disparaging the
quality of their conventional product.
Growing organics also means you cant use

Do homework before
ordering plants by mail
By Lee Reich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

You can buy trees, shrubs, and ower

plants through the mail that are as highquality as those you can get locally, and
often in greater variety.
Problem is: Not all mail-order nurseries are equally reputable. And you cant
just drive your sickly plant back to the
store to show it and complain.

Its not always obvious when you

open a packaged plant that arrived by
mail whether that plant has problems.
I once ordered a Green Gage plum tree
from a mail-order nursery that specializes in fruits. My mouth was watering a
few springs later as branches snowy in
bloom foreshadowed delectable fruits for
summer. Alas, the ripe fruit lacked the
green-gold color and heart shape of
Green Gage, as well as the delectable a-

vor. I called the nursery about the mislabeled plant and they offered to replace it.
Yeah, right. And wait another few years
to see if they got it right this time?
The lesson: Investigate before you
purchase. A website such as http://davesgarden.com/ or magazine articles are
ways to sleuth out a nurserys track
record.

See PLANTS, Page 19

as many chemicals like herbicides, which

many farmers have grown used to as a way to
increase crop yields. Another challenge is
the three years required to convert a conventional farm operation to organic.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack says he
believes much of the agriculture industry has
come around to organics being part of the
business. He says the department has worked
to make programs geared toward conventional producers, like crop insurance, more
friendly to organic producers.
Its not surprising with the increased
demand you that are going to have a tight
squeeze on organic ingredients, Vilsack
said.
The industry is also fighting confusion in
the marketplace, with many food packages
touting natural ingredients a term the
industry believes consumers confuse with
organic. Partly to combat that, organic producers are pursuing an industry-funded
Agriculture Department checkoff campaign
think the milk industrys Got Milk? ads
to promote itself and make those distinctions.
The Organic Trade Association data show
sales growth in all areas of the country. But
the strongest sales remain in the Northeast
and on the West Coast, and 73 percent of
organic buyers are white. Just 16 percent of
those who buy organic are Hispanic and 14
percent are black.
The trade group says sales among minorities have jumped sharply, and note the breakdown closely resembles the demographics of
the United States.
Our survey shows organic has turned a
corner, said OTAs Batcha

Pew Research Center: Teens still use Facebook

By Leanne Italie
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Remember those

declarations that teens are done
with Facebook? Think again.
Facebook remains the most used
social media site among American
teens ages 13 to 17, according to a
new study from the Pew Research
Center. And, surprisingly, boys
visit the site more often than
girls.
Aided hugely by smartphones
and other mobile devices, 71 percent of teens surveyed said they
use Facebook, with the same percentage saying they use more than
one social network of seven
options they were asked about.
Half the teens said they also use
Instagram and four in 10 said they
used Snapchat, according to the
study released April 9.

Among 22 percent of teens who

use just one site, 66 percent use
Facebook, 13 percent use Google
Plus, 13 percent are Instagram
users and 3 percent use Snapchat.
The Pew center didnt compare
the latest survey to its previous
studies on the subject because it
switched its national representative sample from telephone interviews to an online format, potentially skewing results when comparisons are made.
The latest study points to
Facebook as a dominant force in
teens online lives even as
Instagram and Snapchat have
gained momentum.
Facebook was the site they used
most frequently, at 41 percent, followed by Instagram at 20 percent
and Snapchat at 11 percent. Boys
are more likely than girls to report
they visit Facebook most often

New research indicates Facebook remains the most used social media
site among teenagers 13 to 17 years old.
at 45 percent versus 36 percent of
girls.

Pews data also revealed a distinct pattern in social media use

by socio-economic status.
Teens from households with
earnings of less than $50,000 are
more likely to use Facebook the
most 49 percent compared with
37 percent of teens from households with earnings of $50,000 or
more.
As far as how much time is spent
on social media, 24 percent of
teens overall go online almost
constantly, the study said, with
56 percent saying they go online
several times a day and 12 percent
reporting once-a-day use.
Among other sites the 1,060
teens were asked about are Twitter,
Vine and Tumblr. Thirty-three percent said they use Twitter and
Google Plus, while 24 percent said
they use Vine and 14 percent said
Tumblr.
Six percent said they use Twitter
most often.

Board President Marc Friedman said the board is expected
to take final action on a decision whether to purchase the
property at its board meeting next week.
The district has more than $78 million in various capital
improvement funds, more than half of which were born from
the $186 Measure O bond passed by voters in 2010, that
need to be allocated to address a variety of facility needs.
Should the board eventually elect to move forward in
attempting to purchase the office building at Mahler, located just east of Highway 101, the district would need to put
down a retainer and then have 90 days to negotiate a sale,
said Friedman.
The Crown Building at Mahler Road offers 58,000 square
feet of office space, which could be used to house the superintendents office, human resources department, curriculum
and instruction services and more operations currently headquartered on the north end of the San Mateo High School
campus on Delaware Street.
Friedman said the building could offer facilities for additional educational services, if necessary.
Officials are also faced with considering how to manage
Crestmoor High School, which currently houses Peninsula
High School, the districts alternative school, as well as its
special education services.
McManus said officials are considering finding more centrally located facilities to serve students enrolled in the
alternative instruction programs at Peninsula High School,
because the Crestmoor campus is isolated from the rest of
the district.

POT
Continued from page 11
However, the judge pointed out that courts are not
designed to act as a maker of public policy and explained
that she had made her decision based on the facts of the marijuana growing case that sparked the legal challenge.
This is not the court and this is not the time to overturn
federal law, she said.
The ruling came after more than 20 states legalized medical marijuana use, and voters in four Colorado,
Washington, Oregon and Alaska allowed recreational pot
use. An effort is underway to legalize recreational marijuana
in California as well.
A decision by Mueller to reject marijuanas classication
would have applied narrowly to the case she is hearing and
likely would have been appealed. Still, it would have set a
precedent for other criminal prosecutions and added to the
growing push to change federal drug law, experts and advocates said.
The classication of pot as one of the most dangerous
drugs has pitted federal authorities against states that have
legalized medical marijuana and prompted raids on growers
and dispensaries that appear to be operating legally under
state law.
A ruling against marijuanas classication would have
been signicant because you would have had a federal judge
acknowledging what a majority of the public has already

Crestmoor High School, located at 300 Piedmont Ave.,
San Bruno, closed in 1980 due to dropping enrollment.
But what could be considered an inconvenience for
Peninsula High School students might be well suited for
those enrolled in the special education program, who may
benefit from ample space and the park-like setting offered at
the Crestmoor campus, said McManus.
Another option on the table is to consider including
Crestmoor in a land swap with another public agency or
school district, that could allow the high school district to
gain property that is more centrally located, according to a
district report.
The board will further inspect the potential options for
the future of Peninsula High School next month, said
Friedman.
Officials last month approved relocating Design Tech
High School, the districts only charter school, to property
owned by the San Mateo County Office of Education on
Rollins Road in Burlingame.
McManus said as the district disperses its services across
different properties, a variety of options are being weighed,
and the board is faced with some tough decisions regarding
how to manage the districts resources.
The board will have pretty serious dialogues on where
the best interests of the district can be met, she said.
Friedman echoed those sentiments.

concluded: That marijuana does not meet the three criteria of
a Schedule 1 drug, said Paul Armentano, deputy director of
the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana
Laws.
Armentano, who helped the defense, said he has always
believed the issue would have to be decided by a federal
appellate court. He expects the case being heard by Mueller
to be appealed.
Legal experts said Muellers decision to hold a fact-nding hearing last year that included expert testimony marked
the rst time in decades that a federal district court judge
seriously considered marijuanas classication on constitutional grounds. Judges have generally accepted the classication and the federal ban on its use, growth and distribution.
Alex Kreit, a drug law expert at Thomas Jefferson School
of Law in San Diego, called the hearing a sign that at least
some judges are increasingly skeptical of marijuanas status
under federal law and said it would inuence marijuana policy despite the outcome.
The ruling came in a case alleging that marijuana was
being grown in a remote area of Northern California.
Attorneys for the defendants had sought to dismiss the
charges on the grounds that pot should not be listed among
Schedule 1 drugs, which include heroin and LSD and are
dened as drugs with no accepted medical use and a high
potential for abuse.
Defense attorneys argued that marijuana is far less harmful than some legal drugs, and its classication as a
Schedule 1 drug was arbitrary in violation of the
Constitution.

PLANTS
Continued from page 17

Words to watch for

Winnowing through the wording of plant descriptions can
help you avoid disappointment. Too many superlatives, for
example, makes them suspect. I have in front of me a magazine advertisement in which almost every item promises to
be carefree, easy and blooming year after year. In fact,
hybrid tulips, one of the items offered, bloom year after year
for just a few years and then typically lose steam.
This ad also features a fantastically low-priced offer. If
prices seem too cheap, the plants being sold are likely lowquality. Ten gladiolus bulbs might seem like a bargain at
$4.99 until you read the ne print stating their size. Any
good nursery should specify the size of their bulbs. Highquality gladiolus bulbs are large, which means more and better blooms.
Ah, you say, but the nursery has an ironclad guarantee.
Thats generally a reliable indicator of nursery quality, however. A nursery may bank on the fact that many people wont
bother to contact it to make good on a guarantee, especially
if the plants were inexpensive in the rst place.
And a guarantee for a free replacement just brings you
another plant more worthy of your compost pile than your
garden. A mail-order nursery once sent me what seemed like a
stick dropped into a sandwich bag allegedly a bush cherry
that I had ordered. My replacement was the same.
Contrast this experience with the one I recently had with a
small mail-order nursery that specializes in nut trees and did
not even offer guarantees. I noticed that a chestnut tree I had
planted last spring had died, so I called to order another. The
nurserys owner insisted on replacing it for free.

Research before your order

Consult books and reliable websites for information about
the plants youre seeking. The fruit nursery I mentioned earlier bills Liberty apple as one that resists insects and apple
diseases. Not true! Liberty is a delectable apple and does
resist diseases, but its no more resistant to insects than a
disease-susceptible McIntosh. And their Granny Smith
apple? Yes, it does have a unique, spritely, crunchy avor,
but theres no mention of that fact that it wont have time to
ripen in northern gardens.
When a mail-order plant arrives, inspect it. If the plant
seems OK, plant and care for it. If problems arise, dont be
too quick to blame yourself.

WATER
Continued from page 1
whats the next thing I can do? I cant just do what I did last
year. Because for most of us, thats not going to cut it.

Whos using what

Based on the preliminary framework and September data,
most San Mateo County residents consume between 55 gallons and 110 gallons of water each day and would be ordered
to conserve 20 percent compared to their 2013 usage.
Those who live in communities that consume less water
per capita; like the thrifty South San Francisco, San
Francisco, Daly City and Coastside County Water District
all whose customers use under than 55 gallons per day
could be forced to cut back by just 10 percent.
The countys biggest users are Hillsborough residents and
those in California Water Service Companys Bear Gulch
District that includes Atherton, Portola Valley and
Woodside as well as unincorporated parts of Redwood City
and the county. Those property owners used an average of
more than 165 gallons a day and could be required to cut
back by 35 percent.

Responding to the state

Sandkulla said BAWSCA, which represents the interests
of local suppliers who purchase wholesale water from the
SFPUC, submitted comments and concerns it hopes will be
incorporated in the states draft regulations anticipated for
release on Friday, a vote in May and adoption in June.
A main suggestion is to expand the tiered system and create a new category whereby those who use between 60 gallons and 80 gallons a day would be required to reduce their
levels in 2013 by 15 percent; from which residents in San
Bruno, Foster City, Menlo Park and Redwood City would
benefit.
Foster Citys Estero Municipal Improvement District
also requested the state consider changing the comparison
date from 2013 to 2010 as the city cut back 40 percent over
the last five years, but just 5 percent over the last year, said
Public Works Director Jeff Moneda.
The proposed regulations will soon be open for public
comment before the state water board is expected to adopt
the conservation mandates May 5.

Whats conserving going to cost?

With consumption down but fixed costs remaining, the
SFPUC announced it will increase rates 28 percent to

became the first municipality to enact binding measures
inspired by Potters legislation.
The San Francisco/Peninsula chapter of Represent.Us is
hoping to see cities and counties in this area move in the
same direction.
Politicians have become too dependent on huge sums of
money from the super wealthy and special interests to truly

Proposed water cuts

Local providers have cut back between June 2014 through
February 2015 and the same period in 2013, however, they
face proposed mandatory cutbacks based on how many
gallons residents on average consumed per capita per
day, R-GPCD, in September 2014.
The following is the name of the agency, amount of
current cutbacks, proposed mandatory cutbacks and
average water used.
San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, 8 percent,
10 percent, 45.7 R-GPCD
Cal Water South San Francisco, 8 percent, 10 percent,
46.1 R-GPCD
Coastside County Water District, 7 percent, 10 percent,
48.2 R-GPCD
Daly City, 14 percent, 10 percent, 55.6 R-GPCD

Data provided by the State Water Resources Control Board

account for reduced sales last year, projected conservation

and nearly $4.8 billion in critical infrastructure upgrades,
said spokesman Tyrone Jue.
Each water supplier has its own plans and most are working to determine whether to increase rates to account for the
looming drought.
For example, Cal Water, with customers in South San
Francisco, San Mateo, San Carlos, Colma and Bear Gulch,
will likely pass down the increase to consumers, said Cal
Water Conservation Manager Ken Jenkins. However, just
because the price of water goes up doesnt mean other service costs will. Therefore, a customers entire bill wont necessarily increase by 28 percent, Jenkins said. Ultimately,
Cal Waters rate increases along with a proposal to potentially place customers on water budgets, whereby theyd be
lies in the area for years.
Money in politics has become a stumbling block for all
other issues, said San Carlos resident Linda Bailey.
Climate change, environmental issues and womens
issues cannot be addressed until big money is taken out of
the equation, said Bailey, who donned a giant $100 bill outfit at Wednesdays rally.

charged extra for going over allocations, must be approved

by the California Public Utilities Commission, Jenkins
said.
Others like San Bruno and Redwood City may not see any
adjustments in light of the drought. City Manager Connie
Jackson said its unlikely San Bruno will veer from its fiveyear plan to annually increase rates by 10 percent. Plus,
while some rely solely on the SFPUC, San Bruno gets about
half of its supply from its own groundwater sources so it has
more flexibility. However, as a city in the water business,
that does include extensive infrastructure needs, Jackson
said.
Given the needs of the capital improvements the city has
taken on and developed a rate structure for, now our challenge is to make this work and not penalize people for saving water, Jackson said.
Redwood City residents are also already slated to see a 9
percent increase that isnt being impacted by the SFPUCs
changes or the drought, said Public Works Service Director
Ramana Chinnakotla.
Tammy Ruddock, manager of the Mid-Peninsula Water
District that primarily serves Belmont, agreed her agency
will likely have to pass on the increasing price of water.
Ruddock added its difficult to explain to customers the
unique challenges water utilities face in times of drought.
Its not about sitting here going were penalizing you
because you used water, Ruddock said. Its just making
sure we cover those fixed costs. Because we have to operate,
no matter how much water we sell.
On the other end, the Coastside County Water District is
considering a sliding scale of rate increases at nearly 27
percent, said Manager David Dickson.
Dicksons agency, which serves Half Moon Bay, El
Granada and Princeton, is currently in the water boards first
tier and only required to conserve 10 percent.
But as all California utilities are now faced with the state
taking unprecedented action by implementing mandatory
rationing, Dickson noted things could fluctuate and there is
a lot that needs to be ironed out.
Ultimately, change is coming and challenges are ahead
for utilities and residents, Dickson said.
I think the most difficult thing to explain to customers
is the unavoidable arithmetic that ties falling sales to rising rates, and the financial picture where the costs are largely fixed. Thats what all of us are struggling with, Dickson
said. I cant imagine a water district thats not thinking
about increasing rates.
