Temp license bill seeks to ID criminals, toll evaders

Assemblyman Kevin Mullin pushes new legislation, but consumer group and DMV have concerns
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

To avoid losing millions of dollars

in tollbooth revenue and bolster
efforts to identify criminals,
Assemblyman Kevin Mullin is pushing ahead full steam with a bill that
would create a statewide temporary
license plate system.
Mullin, D-South San Francisco,
said he was motivated to propose leg-

islation last year

as a matter of
public safety.

but many just Kevin Mullin

said it can be difficult for law enforcement to identify vehicles involved in

crimes.
One of the most notable incidents
was the 2013 death of a pedestrian in
Southern California whose hit-andrun murder is unsolved as he was
struck by a car without license plates.
Recently, San Mateo County experienced its own startling crime that
Mullin said a temporary license plate
system could have potentially helped

solve.
Acouple driving south on Highway
1 last week became victims of an
armed robbery perpetrated by two
masked suspects in a vehicle without
license plates. The victims were
being tailgated and pulled over to let
the car pass around 9:30 p.m. just
south of Half Moon Bay. But the suspects suddenly cut in front of the couple, blocking them in. One suspect
held a gun to the drivers head and

stole her purse and cellphone while

the second suspect held a knife to the
passengers throat and robbed him of
his wallet and cellphone, according
to the Sheriffs Office.
Notably, there was little description to go on as the masked suspects
were driving a vehicle without license
plates.

Old well gets

revamped to

Burlingame officials fix the citys only
dedicated non-potable water source

California Youth Chinese Symphony member Kacy Yang played the traditional Chinese hammer dulcimer at a
Chinese New Year Celebration of the Year of the Monkey at the Foster City Recreation Center on Sunday, Feb.
14. Enjoying the performance are, from left to right, Dr. Joan Rosas, superintendent of the San Mateo-Foster City
Elementary School District; Audrey Ng and Nancy Kohn Hsieh, members of the San Mateo-Foster City
Elementary School District Board of Trustees; and Redwood City Mayor Jeff Gee.

To ratchet up water conservation

efforts during the extensive
drought, Burlingame officials
revived a long dormant and formerly
problematic well to pump for
municipal projects.
The well, located in Washington
Park, produces non-potable water
which city workers can use to clean
sidewalks, water plants and trees or
purposes other than drinking.
According to Burlingame Public
Works Director Syed Murtuza, a

maximum capacity of 100 gallons

can be drawn from the well per
minute, into a 40,000 gallon storage tank set up nearby.
Since being rejuvenated last
month, the well currently serves as
the citys only dedicated source of
non-potable water, said Murtuza.
The rehabilitation project was
designed as part of the commitment
by Burlingame officials to reduce
water consumption during the
states crippling drought, said
Murtuza.

Lawmakers seek disclosure at San Brunos economic conditions

California Coastal Commission show continued improvement
By Alison Noon
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Democratic
lawmakers proposed legislation
Tuesday that would require lobbyists to report their activity at the
California Coastal Commission,
following the public outcry when
commission officials voted last
week to fire the executive director
without explanation.
Speaker Toni Atkins of San
Diego, Assemblyman Mark Stone
of Scotts Valley and Assemblyman

Marc Levine of
San Rafael said
their proposal,
AB2002, fills a
void in commissioner
accountability.
The proposal
came a week
after members
Toni Atkins
of the Coastal
Commission voted behind closed
doors to fire their executive director of five years, Charles Lester.
Lesters supporters claim develop-

ers and lobbyists influenced his

ousting.
I think one of the things that
became very apparent after that
hearing last week (is) there are
some very, very cozy relationships between certain lobbyists
and certain commissioners that are
not being disclosed, Stone said.
This bill would help force some
of the disclosure.

Officials to plot future of library

New programs sought to serve evolving interest of South City residents
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Officials are checking out ways the South

San Francisco Public Library can better
address the evolving needs of residents, which
may result in offering new services some may
feel are long overdue.
The South San Francisco City Council is set
to consider during a meeting Wednesday, Feb.
17, a strategic plan which could chart a new
course over the next five years for the library.
The library is one of the community facilities officials have considered upgrading
through use of revenue expected to be generated by Measure W, the new half-cent sales tax
increase recently approved by voters.
Officials conducted an extensive community outreach campaign designed to gauge ways
services could be supplemented to address the
progressively changing vision of the library.
Adam Elsholz, acting library director, said
that feedback will be presented before the
council, as officials eye the future of the facility located at 840 W. Orange Ave.
If we do plan a new library, as we consider
that with Measure W money, there is certainly
a lot of community input to be had, said
Elsholz. But this is a start as we see demand
for a new, modern space in the community.

According to a series of surveys, town hall

meetings and focus group sessions, which
culled the opinion of more than 1,000 residents, patrons would appreciate more access
to technology-driven programs at the library.
Classes focused on science, technology,
math and engineering, work areas which can
be used as maker spaces, robotics and computer science courses and other, similar focuses
have been identified by residents as new services which they wish would be added to the
library, said Elsholz.
As modern library demands begin to overlap with services historically offered at a
recreation center, Elsholz said South San
Francisco officials have considered housing
the two facilities under one roof.
Though the potential plans for the library
are only in their formative stages, Elsholz
said officials have seen successful examples
of blended library and recreation centers, such
as the recently remodeled Palo Alto Library.
Elsholz added community outreach has
shown an appetite for a hybrid project as well.
There is strong support for that in the community, he said, of the joint library and recreation center facility. It is an exciting possibility, certainly.
Construction of a new library, recreation
center as well as police and fire stations have

been considered as potential projects which

could be financed with Measure W funds.
South San Francisco voters approved in the
November election implementing the citys
first half-cent sales tax which could generate
as much as $210 million in additional revenue
over 30 years to be used for capital improvements.
The citys branch library, at 306 Walnut
Ave., was closed for renovations last year and
is expected to open again in the late summer,
said Elsholz.
The redesigned facility could serve as a
model for a vision of the new main library,
said Elsholz, as flexible spaces are being built
with an eye toward accommodating a variety
of innovative library uses.
Though the decision regarding allocation of
tax revenue ultimately depends on the will of
the City Council, Elsholz said a variety of
projects at the library are being considered in
the formative planning stages
From what Ive seen, in my short time, all
options are on the table from remodeling
the main library to building a new library, he
said. The council is very thorough and will
look at all the options.
Elsholz is serving as the citys interim

Man shot by police during bank robbery pleads not guilty

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

A Burlingame man who was shot by three

South San Francisco police officers earlier this
month pleaded not guilty to robbery charges on
Thursday, according to the San Mateo County
District Attorneys Office.
Ronald Dinges, 56, was released from the
hospital on Wednesday and arraigned on

Thursday on charges of robbery and obstructing

officers in the performance of their duties, prosecutors said.
Three officers fired multiple shots at Dinges
after he allegedly pointed a replica firearm at
them while the officers were responding to a
report of a bank robbery, according to prosecutors. One shot struck Dinges in the abdomen,
causing injuries that were not considered lifethreatening.

Officers responded on Feb. 5 at 10:12 a.m. to

a report of a robbery at the San Mateo Credit
Union at 150 El Camino Real, according to
police. Dinges entered the bank wearing a facemask and goggles and carrying a replica firearm
that looked like a real gun, prosecutors said.
Dinges allegedly demanded cash from several

Local briefs
San Mateo business input sought
for minimum wage hike proposal
In considering increasing the minimum
wage to $15 an hour, the city of San Mateo is
seeking input from local businesses by hosting two forums this week.
The forums are Wednesday, Feb. 17 from 6
p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and Friday, Feb. 18 from
8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. at the San Mateo Main
Library, 55 W. Third Ave.
The city first considered going beyond the
states $10 per hour minimum wage in
November and initially received little feedback from the business community at a council study session.
Two local business organizations, the
Downtown San Mateo Association and the
San Mateo Chamber of Commerce, have
since been working with those who would be
affected by the change. The chamber conducted its own survey highlighting a range of
feedback from local proprietors with some
fearing they would go out of business to others noting they already pay most employees
above minimum wage.
The city also conducted a survey seeking
input from business owners and the forums
will provide the public another in-person
opportunity to weigh in.
Proponents have argued increasing the
citys minimum wage, which several others
throughout the state and in neighboring
Santa Clara County have done, will assist
low-income workers in affording the
regions high cost of living.
The council must eventually consider
whether to raise the citys minimum wage by
phasing it in over time and if there should be
exemptions for certain types of workers such
as tipped employees.
Input from this weeks forums will be
shared with the council during a study session this spring.
Interested attendees can register by emailing jocon@cityofsanmateo.org or by calling (650) 522-7006.

PHOTO COURTESY OF THE SAN MATEO COUNTY SHERIFFS OFFICE

Two men were arrested with drugs, ammo and a handgun while driving on the coast Friday.
State Beach around 3:30 p.m., according to
the Sheriffs Office.
The trio were first spotted by a deputy who
noticed them driving in a 2007 black Audi
SUV on the 300 block of Poplar Street.
When the driver saw the deputy, he quickly
pulled into a residential driveway making it
appear as though he had business there. An
observant citizen flagged down the deputy
and said there is something up with that
vehicle, they dont live there, according to
the Sheriffs Office.
The deputy then watched as the vehicle
pulled away and noticed several boxes had
been discarded. A traffic stop was conducted a
few blocks away at the beach parking lot.
Through the investigation, it was determined
the suspects had stolen several packages
from the porches of homes a few blocks away
on Railroad Avenue and tried to ditch the
opened boxes, according to the Sheriffs
Office.
A search of the vehicle also revealed counterfeit bills, burglary tools and property
from an earlier vehicle burglary near Devils
Slide, according to the Sheriffs Office.
Cooper, Smith and Lucero were booked
into county jail on charges of mail theft, auto
burglary, possession of burglary tools and
theft. Anyone with information is asked to
contact Detective Gaby Chaghouri at (650)

alcohol while driving on the coast Friday.
Passenger Giovanni Hernandez, 19, of Moss
Beach, was arrested for being in possession of
a loaded and unregistered firearm and methamphetamine, according to the Sheriffs Office.
The driver, 19-year-old Gustavo Hernandez,
was also arrested for possession of methamphetamine, according to Detective Sal Zuno.
The arrests were the result of work by the
Sheriffs Office Crime Suppression Unit that
conducted a traffic stop on a Honda Accord
occupied by four subjects for vehicle code violations around 6:18 p.m. on Harvard and
Columbia streets in Princeton, an unincorporated area near Pillar Point Harbor. During the
stop, detectives saw an open container of alcohol and a baggie of marijuana in plain view. A
K-9 was called and indicated more drugs were in
the car, according to the Sheriffs Office.
A search of the interior of the car revealed
several baggies of methamphetamine, a loaded
9 mm pistol and a box of ammunition, according to the Sheriffs Office.
The driver and passenger were arrested and
Giovanni Hernandez, who was allegedly
caught with the gun on his person, was booked
into county jail, according to the Sheriffs
Office.

FEMA says Californians buy record number of flood policies

By Janie Har
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Federal emergency

officials reported Tuesday a surge in the number of California residents who have purchased flood insurance, most likely in
response to a rainy El Nino winter.
Officials with the Federal Emergency
Management Agency said insurers have written more than 55,500 new policies since
Aug. 31, translating into a 25 percent
increase.
The number of new policies topped
27,000 in December alone, astonishing
agency officials who say they havent witnessed this kind of an increase since the
National Flood Insurance Program was created by Congress in 1968.
FEMA spokeswoman Mary Simms

A 2,000 square foot home with six inches of water

could cost more than $39,000 in flood damages.
chalked up the uptick to greater awareness of
El Nino, a weather pattern thats bringing
much needed rain to drought-parched
California. However, the agency did not
report increases in other Western states also
affected by El Nino.
Strong El Nino storms drenched parts of
California last month, shutting down cable
cars in San Francisco and causing extensive
flooding in the east end of the San Fernando
Valley in Los Angeles.
Despite a dry first half of February and
record breaking heat throughout California
over the holiday weekend, forecasters predict rain this week. A weather pattern change
toward the end of February could bring

storms across more of California into

March.
It has not been uncommon during past
strong El Nino events to go through drier
periods, even during the winter months,
said Scott Carpenter, a meteorologist with
the National Weather Service in Salt Lake
City.
Its uncertain whether this seasons rains
will rival that of El Nino rains in 1997 and
1998, when storms killed more than a dozen
people, washed out highways and wiped out
crops.
Simms said flooding is the countrys top
natural disaster threat, both in terms of costs
and fatalities. A 2,000 square foot home with

six inches of water could cost more than

$39,000 in flood damages, she said.
Emergency management experts say its
critical to plan ahead: Document belongings
with a quick smartphone video. Stock up on
water and sandbags. Have a family evacuation plan.
Its a little bit hard when the suns out to
think about flooding, so preparation is
key, said Janet Ruiz, California representative for the Insurance Information Institute,
a nonprofit trade group.
The National Flood Insurance Program
was created to offer flood insurance to homeowners, tenants and business owners
through private insurers. Rates are set
nationally. As of Dec. 31, there were more
than 285,000 flood insurance policies written in California. Nationally, there are about
5.1 million policies.

Auditor questions no-bid contracts at Covered California

By Jonathan J. Cooper
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Californias state auditor on Tuesday questioned the use of no-bid

contracts at the Covered California health
insurance exchange, which spent nearly
$200 million during a three-year period
without seeking competitive bids on 64
contracts.
The total represented about one-fifth of
the nearly $1 billion in contracts issued during the period.
While the agency has significantly
reduced its reliance on no-bid contracts,
State Auditor Elaine Howle found it waited
until January to comply with a bill passed
last summer requiring tighter contracting
rules at the agency.
Auditors reviewed 40 no-bid contracts and

stolen last year.

Tuesday that there were 178 data breaches in
California endangering 24 million records.

questioned the need for three, including one

for advertising and another for a data analytics project manager. The auditors found nine
other contracts for which Covered
California did not supply sufficient justification for avoiding competitive bids.
Covered California says it needed no-bid
contracts to rapidly prepare for enrollment
under the federal health overhaul and is relying less on them now.
Less than 10 percent of the 166 contracts
in the past fiscal year were no-bid, worth
$10 million, the agency says. In the 20122013 fiscal year, nearly 20 percent of contracts worth $150 million were no-bid.
As the organization matures, the competitive bidding process across the organization has increased significantly, said Roy
Kennedy, a spokesman for Covered
California.
State agencies are generally required to

shop around for large purchases to avoid ethical conflicts and ensure taxpayers get a
good deal. Covered California was granted
leeway as it raced to meet deadlines in
President Barack Obamas health care overhaul.
The Associated Press reported in 2014
about Covered Californias heavy use of nobid contracts, some of which went to people
with previous professional ties to the
agencys executive director.
Until last month, Covered California
allowed no-bid contracts when it was short
on time or when only one company could
perform the desired work. The auditors said
that justification was too broad.
The Legislature last year ordered Covered
California to adopt tighter procurement
standards in line with the strict policies used
by most of the rest of state government.
Under the tougher rules, no-bid contracts

are allowed only in emergencies affecting

public health and safety, or when there are
no known competitors, according to the
audit.

The number of breaches held steady, but the

number of records jumped sharply from about
4 million in 2014 and 18 million in 2013.
Her report blames a few large breaches for
most of the thefts. That includes records
exposed by health insurer Anthem Inc. affecting more than 10 million Californians.
Retailers were the most vulnerable during
the four-year period covered in the report.

Obama: No excuse for GOP not to vote on nominee

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RANCHO MIRAGE President Barack

Obama declared Tuesday that Republicans have
no constitutional grounds to refuse to vote on a
Supreme Court nominee, and he challenged his
political foes in the Senate to rise above the
venom and rancor that has paralyzed judicial
nominations.
As Obama cast the dispute over filling the
seat of the late Justice Antonin Scalia as a test of
whether the Senate could function, there were
early signs that Republican resistance could be
eroding. Senate Judiciary Chairman Charles
Grassley suggested he might be open to considering Obamas yet-to-be named nominee, an
indication his party may be sensitive to
Democrats escalating charges of unchecked
obstructionism.
I intend to do my job between now and
January 20 of 2017, Obama told reporters at
a news conference. He said of the nations senators: I expect them to do their job as well.
Obama was in California for a meeting of
Southeast Asian leaders gathered for two days
of diplomacy. But his attention was divided at

I intend to do my job between now and January 20 of 2017. I

expect them (senators) to do their job as well.
President Barack Obama

that conference.
Since Scalias unexpected death at a Texas
ranch on Saturday, White House lawyers and
advisers have been scrambling to refine and vet
a list of potential replacements, while also
devising a strategy to push a candidate through
the Republican-led Senate.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has
said he doesnt think Obama should be putting a
candidate forward. The Kentucky senator, as
well as several Republicans up for re-election
this year, say Obama should leave the choice up
to the next president. The November election,
they argue, will give voters a chance to weigh in
on the direction of the court.
Obama dismissed that notion, insisting he
will put forward a replacement and believes the
Senate will have plenty of time to give the
nominee a fair hearing and a vote. Democrats
say Obama has every right and a constitutional
duty to fill vacancies on the court until he leaves

office next January.

Obama conceded the dispute reflects years of
escalating partisan hostilities over judicial
nominations and that Democrats hands are not
bloodless. Years of bickering have left the public accustomed to a situation where everything
is blocked even when theres no ideological
or substantive disagreement, he said.
This would be a good moment for us to rise
above it, he said.
The pace of judicial confirmation always
slows in a presidential election year, as the
party that does not control the White House
holds out hope that its candidate will fill vacant
judgeships rather than give lifetime tenure to
the other partys choices. In the past, lawmakers have sometimes informally agreed to stop
holding hearings on lower court nominations
during campaign season.
Obama argued Tuesday that the Supreme
Courts different.

Theres no unwritten law that says that it can

only be done in off years. Thats not in the constitutional text, he said. Im amused when I
hear people who claim to be strict interpreters
of the Constitution suddenly reading into it a
whole serious of propositions that arent there.
Theres more than enough time for the Senate to
consider in a thoughtful way the record of a
nominee that I present and to make a decision.
McConnell has shown no signs of shifting
his opposition, and several lawmakers facing
heated elections have backed him up. But the
party may still be searching for a strategy.
Obama on Tuesday would not tip his hand
much.
Im going to present somebody who indisputably is qualified for the seat and any fairminded person, even somebody who disagrees
with my politics, would say would serve with
honor and integrity on the court, he said.
Asked if that meant he was leaning toward a
moderate, Obama said, bluntly, No.
He would not comment on whether he would
consider appointing a candidate during a congressional recess, a last-ditch maneuver likely
to further inflame partisanship in Congress.

hearing for Supreme Court pick

WASHINGTON The chairman of the

Senate Judiciary Committee is leaving open the
possibility of holding a hearing for President
Barack Obamas choice to ll a Supreme Court
vacancy, amid signs of uncertainty about how
Republicans would treat a

Antonin Scalia.
Sen. Charles Grassley,

McConnells view that
Obamas successor should
make the nomination of a
lifetime appointment. But
Grassley didnt rule out

ings and a vote by his
panel on an Obama selection.
I would wait until the nominee is made
before I would make any decision, Grassley
said Tuesday in a conference call with Iowa radio
reporters. In other words, take it a step at a
time.

Asked if he thought the controversy over lling the court vacancy might endanger his reelection chances this fall, Grassley said, I
think I have a responsibility to perform and I
cant worry about the election. Ive got to do
my job as a senator, whatever it is. And there
will be a lot of tough votes between now and
the next election.
The battle lines were set almost immediately
in the hours after Scalias death on Saturday.
Senate Republicans, led by McConnell and
including vulnerable GOP senators up for reelection this year, said Election Day in
November will give voters a say in who
replaces Scalia.
Senate Democrats countered that Obama is
president until Jan. 20, 2017 and has every
constitutional right to make the selection and
the Senate should do its job and consider the
choice.
Obama has said he will nominate a replacement in due time. His Democratic allies made it
clear that denying the president that right would
be an unprecedented step and argued it would
enshrine the GOP as the most nakedly partisan, obstructionist and irresponsible majority
in history.

Before Supreme Court nod,

an intrusive interrogation
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Did you ever buy porn,

sniff glue, have sex in junior high? Exactly how
many times?
White House lawyers are scouring a lifes
worth of information about President Barack
Obamas potential picks for the Supreme Court,
from the mundane to the intensely personal. In
trying to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia,
the president could alter the balance of the court
for decades but only if he can get his nominee
through Republicans in the Senate.
Prospective justices are put through the
nations most thorough background check, an
invasive process where nothing is off-limits.
After all, a surprise dredged up later could scuttle
confirmation. So candidates taxes, writings,
childhoods, business dealings, medical histories and, yes, love lives, are all scrutinized for
potential red flags.
The idea that you miss something that later
torpedoed the nomination thats a nightmare, said Jack Quinn, former White House
counsel to President Bill Clinton.
Just ask Judge Douglas Ginsburg. Nine days
after President Ronald Reagan nominated him
for the high court, it was revealed he had smoked
marijuana as a law professor at Harvard and he
was forced to bow out.

For Obama, who has successfully nominated

two justices, the vetting process is even more
critical this time as he works to push a nominee
through in his final year in office. Already,
Republicans are threatening to not even hold a
vote. If hearings get mired in a squabble over
some late revelation, Republicans could find a
fresh rationale for dragging the process out until
Obamas term ends in January 2017.
I am going to present somebody who indisputably is qualified for the seat, Obama said
Tuesday.
Traditionally, vetting takes weeks if not
months, depending on how many candidates are
being checked. But Obama is expected to move
as quickly as possible to announce his pick.
The White House was jolted into action after
learning of Scalias death, officials said, summoning administration lawyers over Presidents
Day weekend to begin searching for a suitable
replacement. Obama, traveling in California,
has been working with top advisers on his list
while aides feel out senators about their willingness to hold a vote.
Millions of Americans with security clearances or government jobs are asked probing
questions about their loyalty, reliability and
character in FBI background checks. But for
Supreme Court contenders, the inquiry goes far
deeper.

Obama, SE Asian leaders seek
resolution to maritime disputes
RANCHO MIRAGE President Barack
Obama and the leaders of Southeast Asia called
Tuesday for peaceful resolution of the regions
maritime disputes as they concluded a summit
in California.
Obama told a news conference that disputes
must be resolved by legal
means, including a case
brought
by
the
Philippines challenging
Chinas sweeping claims
over most of the South
China Sea.
China has refused to take
part in the proceedings,
but Obama said parties to
Barack Obama the U.N. law of the seas are
obligated to respect the
ruling, expected later this year.
Obama has been hosting 10 leaders of the
Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or
ASEAN, in the U.S. for the first time. That
sends a subtle message to China that the U.S.
remains an important force in the region.
The Philippines brought its case in 2013
after Beijing refused to withdraw its ships
from a disputed shoal under a U.S.-brokered
deal. Despite Chinas refusal to participate,
the arbitral tribunal based in The Hague has
agreed to hear the case.
China says it has a historical right to virtually all of the South China Sea and has built
seven artificial islands, some with airstrips,
to assert its sovereignty. Taiwan and ASEAN
members Brunei, Malaysia, Vietnam and the
Philippines also claim land features in these
potentially resource-rich waters, an important
thoroughfare for international shipping.

Ted Cruz rivals pounce on trust issues

BEAUFORT, S.C. Ted Cruz is getting hammered by his Republican rivals over what they
call a pattern of unethical campaign tactics and
inaccurate statements by the Texas senator who
has shaped his White House bid around trust.

NATION/WORLD
Cruz has had some trouble getting all his facts
straight in debates, has
used campaign tactics that
some find suspicious and
had an ad by an outside
group temporarily pulled
for questions about its accuracy. His opponents are
blunter, calling him simTed Cruz
ply a liar.
Both Trump and Rubio have accused Cruz of
distorting their records with increasing frequency. And while such charges are common in presidential politics, Cruzs team has also faced
rebukes for misleading voters in recent weeks
from multiple outside groups the Iowa
Secretary of State and a prominent anti-abortion
group, among them.
The fiery conservatives ability to navigate
questions about his integrity could well decide
his fate in the crowded 2016 contest, where he
remains a top-tier contender.
Hes lying. And I think its disturbing,
Rubio said in Beaufort. Just here in South
Carolina this week, hes lied about my record on
Planned Parenthood, hes lied about my position on marriage, hes lied about his own record
on immigration. So, I think this is very disturbing when you have a candidate that now on
a regular basis just makes things up.
Trump was even more aggressive, describing
Cruz the day before as the single biggest liar
Ive ever come across, in politics or otherwise.

Combat jobs for women stir

questions about the draft
WASHINGTON The decision by the
Pentagon to allow women to serve in all combat
jobs has put new focus on an often-forgotten
U.S. institution: the Selective Service.
While America has not had a military draft
since 1973, all men must register with the
Selective Service within 30 days of turning 18.
U.S. leaders repeatedly insist that the all-volunteer force is working and the nation is not
returning to the draft. But there are increasing
rumblings about whether women should now be
required to register if they can indeed serve in all
areas of the military.

IS faces budget crunch

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT Faced with a cash shortage in its

so-called caliphate, the Islamic State group has
slashed salaries across the region, asked Raqqa
residents to pay utility bills in black market
American dollars, and is now releasing
detainees for a price of $500 a person.
The extremists who once bragged about minting their own currency are having a hard time
meeting expenses, thanks to coalition
airstrikes and other measures that have eroded
millions from their finances since last fall.
Having built up loyalty among militants with
good salaries and honeymoon and baby bonuses, the group has stopped providing even the
smaller perks: free energy drinks and Snickers
bars.
Necessities are dwindling in its urban centers,
leading to shortages and widespread inflation,
according to exiles and those still suffering
under its rule. Interviews gathered over several
weeks included three exiles with networks of
family and acquaintances still in the groups
stronghold in Raqqa, residents in Mosul, and
analysts who say IS is turning to alternative
funding streams, including in Libya.
In Raqqa, the groups stronghold in Syria,
salaries have been halved since December, electricity is rationed, and prices for basics are spiraling out of reach, according to people exiled
from the city.
Not just the militants. Any civil servant,
from the courts to the schools, they cut their
salary by 50 percent, said a Raqqa activist now
living in the Turkish city of Gaziantep, who
remains in close contact with his native city.
But that apparently wasnt enough close the gap
for a group that needs money to replace
weapons lost in airstrikes and battles, and pays
its fighters first and foremost. Those two
expenses account for two-thirds of its budget,
according to an estimate by Aymenn Jawad alTamimi, a researcher with the Middle East
Forum who sources Islamic State documents,
Within the last two weeks, the extremist

On account of the exceptional

circumstances the Islamic State
is facing, it has been decided to
reduce the salaries that are paid
to all mujahedeen by half, and it
is not allowed for anyone to be
exempted from this decision,
whatever his position.
A directive from IS

group started accepting only dollars for tax

payments, water and electric bills, according to
the Raqqa activist, who asked to be identified by
his nom de guerre Abu Ahmad for his safety.
Everything is paid in dollars, he said. His
account was bolstered by another ex-Raqqa resident, who, like Ahmad, also relies on communications with a network of family and acquaintances still in the city.
Al-Tamimi came across a directive announcing the fighters salary cuts in Raqqa: On
account of the exceptional circumstances the
Islamic State is facing, it has been decided to
reduce the salaries that are paid to all mujahedeen by half, and it is not allowed for anyone
to be exempted from this decision, whatever his
position.
Those circumstances include the dramatic
drop in global prices for oil once a key
source of income airstrikes that have targeted cash stores and oil infrastructure, supply line
cuts, and crucially, the Iraqi governments decision to stop paying civil servants in territory
controlled by the extremists.
A Russian-backed Syrian government offensive in Aleppo province, where IS controls
major towns including Manbij, Jarablus and alBab, is also putting pressure on IS. Government
troops and allied militiamen have advanced
toward the town, considered an IS bastion, leading many militants to send their families to
Raqqa.

Border controls return

to the European Union
By George Jahn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SOPRON, Hungary The Hungarian city

of Sopron, population 50,000, boasts an
abundance of beauty shops and 200 dentists
one for every 250 residents. Most businesses dont target the locals, though;
theyre looking at the Austrians streaming
across the nearby border to shop for bargains.
Such cross-border traffic could soon suffer, as the European Union considers reintroducing border controls for up to two
years between some of the 26 nations in the
Schengen passport-free area to deal with the
migrant crisis.
If the border controls return, we might as
well close shop, says seamstress Eva
Grubics. Austrians make up 80 percent of
our business.
In Luxembourg, a thousand kilometers
(600 miles) to the west, Schengen Mayor
Ben Homan also has reason to hope the freeborder agreement will remain in place. Its
signing there in 1985 heralded a new era of
passport-free travel, speedy transport and
expanded commerce over much of a continent that had before been a patchwork of
borders against hostile neighbors, competitive business and competing ideological
blocs.
With locals vineyards situated both in
Germany and France just a few minutes walk
away, residents of his little town of winemakers are more conscious than most of
the agreements advantages, says Homan.
Since the signing, thousands of businesses big and small have flourished on the guarantee of free travel. EU statistics show people making 1.3 billion crossings over the
unions internal borders each year, while 57
million trucks transport goods worth hundreds of billions over those same bound-

aries annually. The free passage has also

allowed some 1.7 million people to live in
one country and commute to work in another.
Cities such as Malmo in southern Sweden
and the Danish capital Copenhagen have in
effect fused, reflecting how the EU has
turned from a community of nations separated by borders to one of regions. But in the
wake of the refugee crisis, the whole idea of
open EU borders has been called into question.
Each country in the zone is allowed to unilaterally put up border controls for a maximum of six months. France did so after the
Nov. 13 terror attack, and following the
influx of more than 1 million migrants into
Europe last year, Germany, Austria,
Denmark, Sweden and Norway have done the
same. Now, policymakers are poised to
invoke an emergency provision that allows
for an extension of such controls for up to
two years, citing Greek problems in properly protecting the blocs external borders
from the flow of migrants fleeing war and
poverty in the Middle East, Asia or Africa.
That could open the gates to broader border restrictions. EU Council President
Donald Tusk has described the outcome of
the debate as decisive ... for the future of
the EU and EU Commission President JeanClaude Juncker has warned of a collapse of
the Schengen zones domestic market.
Meanwhile, new checkpoints are already
going up. Austria on Tuesday announced
controls on its boundary to Italys South
Tyrol region in anticipation that refugees
will use that as a new route as restrictions
elsewhere increase.
Officials spoke of setting up construction measures, bureaucratese for fences, at
the new control points previously an
unthinkable concept because of its connotation of separation.

President Obamas budget

THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER

hen President Obama submitted his proposed budget

one year ago, he claimed
that he wanted to do away with the
mindless austerity of the sequestration, which had provided some measure of limitation on government
spending. Then in December, aided
and abetted by a Republican-controlled Congress, he eradicated those
minor restrictions and replaced mindless austerity with clueless proigacy.
Now he puts forth a budget for the
2017 scal year, which begins Oct. 1,
that calls for $4.15 trillion in spending, a $223 billion increase over the
current years budget. His proposal,
curiously released while all eyes are
focused on the New Hampshire primary, spans more than 2,300 pages,
which, in itself, serves as a testament
to the federal governments bloat and

Other voices
overreach.
The presidents budget contains $3
trillion in proposed tax increases
over the next 10 years, according to
the Committee for a Responsible
Federal Budget. The most controversial of these is a $10.25-per-barrel oil
tax, which would be used to fund
clean transit projects and low-carbon technologies such a self-driving
cars, which the private sector is
already rapidly developing. With oil
prices currently hovering around $30
a barrel, that is a roughly 35 percent
tax, which experts project would
translate to a price hike of about 25
cents per gallon at the pump.
Fortunately, this is a nonstarter for
congressional Republicans.
The presidents budget message

reads like his State of the Union

addresses, espousing his wish list,
from green energy subsidies to universal preschool to high-speed rail
and increased transit funding to $4
billion for a K-12 computer science
program to two years of free community college to apprenticeship programs to encouraging state paid
leave policies none of which is the
province of federal, state and local
governments.
President Obamas budget would,
once again, expand government control over our lives and further burden
current and future generations with
debt. It is understandable that a lameduck president with a somewhat hostile Congress would advance a budget
sprinkled with fairy dust, but Mr.
Obamas proposal should not be taken
seriously with regard to scal responsibility.

Letters to the editor

A new way to address
the housing shortage
Editor,
I have given much thought to our
shortage of affordable housing and
have come up with a way to address a
small part of it. I believe the best way
to help is getting people into home
ownership, which fixes their costs, as
opposed to low-priced rentals, which
are always subject to change.
Many developers are paying in lieu
fees to offset their lack of low-priced
units (as described by the story, Belmont approves 73-unit housing
project in the Feb. 11 edition of the
Daily Journal). In Belmonts case,
they received $1.6 million instead of
eight units. What if cities like this
each createdtheir ownloan pool to
help lower-income residents?
It might work something like this:
the city or town would provide a zero
percent loan to the applicant based on
criteria they would set. There is no required monthly payment, and the city
holds a lien against the property if it
ever gets sold. Buyers could optionally pay down the loan as their means
allow. The city criteria could require
applicants to prove need,have a job,
qualify for a mortgage for part of the
purchase price and prove affinity with
the city, such as length of residency
or employment there. The city would
provide a loan up to the smaller of

$200,000 for example, or forty percent of home value.

So a teacher who grew up and teaches
in Belmont could purchase a
$500,000 home by qualifying for and
paying a $300,000 mortgage. Yes,
thats still not cheap, but it becomes
much more achievable at current loan
rates.
Im sure this approach has flaws and

Adding to a congested mess

Editor,
Regarding the Feb. 16 Daily Journal
story, Burlingame weighing
Bayfront parks future, I hope the
people of Burlingame will speak out
against this project. Wheres the infrastructure for all the additional
traffic congestion? With this project,
the proposed housing project in
South San Francisco and also the
project going in at Candlestick Point,
Highway 101 is already a congested
mess and there is no place for all the
traffic.
I dont see the contractors adding any
more public transit and or lanes to the
highways or improvements to the exit
ramps to access all these huge projects.

A Barbie bonus?
S

hes been the global symbol of a certain kind

of American beauty for generations, a brand
recognition thats up there with Mickey
Mouse. Time magazine, Feb. 5, 2016.
I know, like me, you were very excited when you heard
that the Barbie doll will now be available in a variety of
body types, heights, skin shades and hair textures. She
was even featured on the cover of the above Time magazine. We now have, besides the original Barbie, petite,
tall and curvy Barbie. You will notice that they all still
have very skinny arms and tall Barbies legs are unusually
long and spindly, and her neck is unnaturally long. And,
of course, they all teeter on high heels, though it is
reported that the new Barbies have articulated ankles so
that they can wear flats. This may come in handy if, as
some legislators have suggested, all women are required to
register for the draft at age 18. Mattel can then add a G.I.
Barbie complete with a
choice of military uniforms.
Mattel has had 57 years
to make Barbie look a bit
more realistic, but, as we
might expect, it is now
going in this direction
because of declining sales.
As reported in Time,
Barbie sales plummeted 20
percent from 2012 to 2014
and continued to fall last
year. Of course, theyre not
really interested in the welfare of our girls. Time
reports: A 2006 study published in the journal
Developmental Psychology found that girls exposed to
Barbie at a young age expressed greater concern with
being thin, compared to those exposed to other dolls.
If Barbie makes any difference in most young girls conception of femininity, we can add that to the brainwashing
that comes at them from all sides of the media. Youd
think theres a conspiracy carried on by the fashion, cosmetic, diet, cosmetic surgery industries who continually
pressure women to feel guilty, shameful, inadequate and
undeserving if they dont go to great lengths to conform
to our societys ideal of beauty which, of course, includes
using their products. This is all part of a media blitz that
demands that women be obsessed with appearance and
conformity and convinces many that they are not good
enough the way they are and that what is on the surface is
all that counts. As Judith Rodin wrote in Body Traps:
What a tragedy that women today live with this great
self-consciousness. Television, magazines and movies
present and reinforce the glittering false image, but we
have taken it for our own ... . Body traps have become
double and triple binds that limit other aspects of our
lives happiness, friendships, careers, families.
Youd think that in this day and age of supposed emancipation and equality, there wouldnt be so many young
women who allow themselves to be exploited by corporations whose only concern is profit. Why is it so difficult
to get the message across that women need to use their
minds and abilities to create needed change in society
instead of going along with the status quo which so often
demeans them?
Shouldnt they be up in arms if for no other reason than
all of this folderol takes time away from human relationships (including those with children), from personal
growth, expansion of the mind, development of the psyche, the intellect and the spirit? And, as Anne Wilson
Schaef wrote in When Society Becomes an Addict:
When you believe you are not a legitimate human being
in and of yourself and that your legitimacy hinges on outside validation and approval, you live in constant fear.
This brings to mind the time when I watched the Miss
America pageant all the way through, as painful as that
was. The contestants reminded me of oldest granddaughters Barbie dolls when she dressed them all in those overwhelming gowns and lined them up against the couch.
They stared at you with those bright, but vacuous, eyes and
painted pout. They stood there teetering like a bunch of
wobbly ten-pins because their feet are so ungrounded. I
guess those Miss America contestants had lived the beauty myth for so long that they did not see how they had
sold themselves out to corporate interests and media hype.
If these women were truly self-confident and selfrespectful, would they be interested in such pageants?
Would they have to fill that empty space inside that compels them to so doggedly seek perfection of face and body
and so desperately look outside of themselves for validation? Is that what we want for our girls?
Barbie is literally an objectified woman, not a superwoman or an action figure but a plastic lady notable
because shes pretty. Jill Filipovic, Time magazine,

Northrop Grumman
bomber contract is
upheld over protests
By David Koenig
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Federal auditors have rejected a protest by

Boeing and Lockheed Martin and upheld an Air
Force decision to award a lucrative new bomber
contract to Northrop Grumman Corp.
The Government Accountability Office, a
nonpartisan congressional agency that audits
federal programs, said Tuesday that the Air
Forces review of bomber bids was reasonable
and it did not see a reason to overturn the contract.
A Boeing Co. spokesman said the company
will review the GAO decision before deciding
on its next step. It could protest to the federal
claims court in Washington. Lockheed Martin
Corp. declined to comment.
The total cost of the contract is classified.
The GAO says there are two parts an engineering phase with an estimated value of $21.4
billion in 2010 dollars, and options to build
the first 21 bombers. The Air Force hasnt
given a cost for producing the first 21 planes
but has said that if 100 planes were built, the
average cost per plane would be $511 million
in 2010 dollars.
Using those figures and adjusting them for
inflation, the total cost of the program could
be nearly $80 billion if the Air Force buys 100
planes, as Pentagon officials discussed in
October.
Northrop cheered the GAOs decision to deny
the protest by its rivals.
This confirms that the U.S. Air Force conducted an extraordinarily thorough selection
process and selected the most capable and
affordable solution, Northrop spokesman
Randy Belote said. He called the plane vitally
important to national security.
Not surprisingly, the Air Force was happy
with the GAO decision too, saying that the
selection process was disciplined and impartial. In October, Air Force Secretary Deborah
Lee James said that selecting Northrop represents the best value for our nation, although
financial terms of the competing bids were not
disclosed.
The plane, called a long-range strike
bomber, will replace an aging fleet that
includes B-2 and B-52 bombers. Pentagon officials have said that it will be designed to penetrate advanced air-defense systems and strike
any target around the world from the United
States.

NEW YORK Stocks closed broadly higher as the market notched its second sizable gain in a row. Retail and
industrial stocks made the biggest
gains as they were lifted by company
earnings, some good news from
Chinas economy, and hope that
Japans struggling economy will get
another boost.
Indexes were higher all day and
almost matched the big gains they
made on Friday. Strong quarterly
results gave some company stocks a
boost and investors worried a bit less
about China and Japan.
For a change, stocks traded higher
even though the price of oil slumped.
Investors were skeptical that OPEC
nations will sign off on a deal to freeze
production, so U.S. crude sank after a
big rally on Friday.
The Dow Jones industrial average
added 222.57 points, or 1.4 percent,
to 16,196.41. The Standard & Poors
500 index rose 30.80 points, or 1.7
percent, to 1,895.58. The Nasdaq composite climbed 98.44 points, or 2.3
percent, to 4,435.96.
The S&P 500 had climbed 2 percent
on Friday. It had been two months
since the S&P 500 rose at least 1 percent for two consecutive days. The
U.S. market was closed Monday for the

Presidents Day holiday.

ADT surged after the home security
company accepted an offer from
investment company Apollo Global
Management worth $42 per share, or
$6.94 billion. Its stock rose $12.77,
or 47.5 percent, to $39.64. Apollo
Global added 72 cents, or 5.4 percent,
to $14.12.
Amazon rose $14.02, or 2.8 percent, to $521.10. Home Depot rose
$3.11, or 2.7 percent, to $119.43 and
competitor Lowes gained $2.56, or
3.9 percent, to $67.43.
Hormel, the maker of Spam and
Dinty Moore stew among other foods,
had its best day in almost seven years
after the company posted a strongerthan-expected quarterly profit and
raised its forecast for the year. Its
stock climbed $2.94, or 7.1 percent,
to $44.44. Its up 60 percent over the
last year.
Restaurant Brands, the parent company of Burger King and Tim Hortons,
jumped $1. 81, or 5. 7 percent, to
$33. 82 after the company said an
important sales measurement rose at
both of its chains in the fourth quarter.
Hospital stocks tumbled after
Community Health Systems said
admissions decreased in the fourth
quarter. Thats partly because it had
more patients last year with respiratory illnesses and the flu. The company

took a loss as it absorbed impairment

charges and set aside more money to
cover unpaid bills.
The stock plunged $4.12, or 22.1
percent, to $14.56.
Its been a bad couple of weeks for
company earnings. Three-fourths of
the companies listed on the S&P 500
have reported their quarterly results,
and earnings are expected to fall
almost 5 percent compared with a year
ago, according to S&P Capital IQ.
Thats mostly because of plunging oil
prices, which are pummeling energy
company profits.
Analyst Lindsey Bell of S&P Global
Markets Intelligence says that were in
the middle of a cycle that will see S&P
500 profits fall for four quarters in a
row, but the market is focused on other
issues, including concerns about the
health of Chinas economy and central
bank policy.
You dont hear a lot of people talking about how were going to have a
nearly five-percent decline in earnings, she said.
Bell says earnings will start growing again later this year because companies have lowered the bar. Still, analysts are swiftly lowering their estimates for 2016. She says analysts now
expect earnings growth of 2.9 percent,
down from 7.4 percent at the start of
2016.

Maple syrup producers question foods labeled maple

By Lisa Rathke
THE ASSOCAITED PRESS

RICHMOND, Vt. In the maple-rich areas

of New England and the upper Midwest, producers dont approve of fakers.
Last week, industry groups from Vermont to
Michigan sent a letter to the Food and Drug
Administration protesting food labeled as
maple that they say doesnt contain the real
thing.
They say products such as Quaker Oats
Maple & Brown Sugar Instant Oatmeal and
Hood maple walnut ice cream are misbranded,
in violation of FDA regulations, because
maple syrup is not listed on their labels.
Quaker Oats said it did not have a comment and
Hood spokeswoman said Tuesday evening that
she was seeking more information but could
not confirm if the ice creams flavor was
derived from real maple syrup.
Roger Brown, chairman of the Maple
Industry Committee of the Vermont Maple
Sugar Makers Association, said maple
derived from heating sap from maple trees
is a premium product and sweetener and for that
reason a number of companies imply that a
product contains maple without the ingredient
being present. He said the association has
asked the FDA to investigate so that consumers get what theyre looking for and maple
producers get compensated for their hard work.
My main beef is put syrup in it if youre
going to call it syrup, said Brown, an owner
of Slopeside Syrup. My secondary beef is if
youre going to call it a maple thing, put
enough maple in it that its a maple product
and that its not a corn syrup product that has
some minuscule amount of syrup in it.
U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy said theres no comparison between real and artificially flavored
syrup.
Ive always said that if sort of the third ring

Business brief
Seventeen governors announce clean
energy, transportation agreement
SACRAMENTO Governors from 17
states said Tuesday that they will work
together to develop cleaner energy and
transportation as they look to lead a national shift to renewable fuels.
The states vary widely in their approach
and sources of fuel, but the bipartisan group
said its goal is to cooperate on planning
and policies.

Maple syrup producers in Vermont and Michigan sent a letter to the FDA accusing foods
that taste like maple syrup dont actually include maple syrup.
of hell youd be served fake maple syrup on
your pancakes or your waffles, Leahy said.
The letter from maple syrup producer groups
in
Connecticut,
Indiana,
Maine,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New
York, Vermont and Wisconsin, as well as the
International Maple Syrup Institute and the
North American Maple Syrup Council, said the
misbranding deceives the consumer and hurts
those producing real maple syrup.
This unchecked misbranding has an
adverse impact on manufacturers of products
containing real maple syrup, as it allows
cheaper products not containing premium
ingredients to compete with those actually
containing maple syrup, the letter said.
Further, it deceives consumers into believing
they are purchasing a premium product when,
in fact, they have a product of substantially
lower quality.

They gave nine examples of products that

they say are mislabeled and say there are many
others.
The FDA said it is reviewing the letter and
will respond directly to the petitioners.
Producers are fiercely protective of the sweet
stuff, which in Vermont goes for an average of
about $49 a gallon.
In 2010, they raised concerns about Log
Cabin All Natural Syrup, an imitation maple
syrup being sold in the same beige plastic jugs
used by many producers in Vermont the
countrys largest producer of maple syrup.
U.S. Rep. Peter Welch of Vermont and the
states agricultural secretary asked the FDA to
investigate whether the brand violated federal
guidelines by marketing itself as a natural
product, noting that it contained a caramel
color, xanthan gum a natural thickener
and 4 percent maple.

The pact known as the Governors

Accord for a New Energy Future calls for
embracing new energy solutions to expand
the economy and protect the health of communities and natural resources.
We believe that this is a robust driver of
economic growth, not a brake on economic
growth, Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee
said in a conference call with reporters.
The governors purposely avoided mentioning the divisive issue of climate change
and instead concentrated on how states can
cooperate, California Gov. Jerry Brown
said.
He said that includes building more

sophisticated, energy-efficient regional

electrical grids; pooling buying power to
get cheaper clean-energy vehicles for state
fleets; and lobbying the federal government
for more research and development on energy storage, clean fuels and the electric grid.
Other participating governors are from
Delaware, Connecticut, Hawaii, Iowa,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New
Hampshire, Nevada, New York, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and
Virginia.
Senior advisers of the governors expect
to meet soon to discuss the initial steps to
meet the goals.

With both teams earning division championships this season, each the MenloAtherton boys and girls basketball teams are

Each the boys and girls bracket consists of
eight teams. The M-A boys the No. 1
ranked team out of the PAL South Division
after winning the programs first league title
since 2006-07 will take on South City, the
No. 4 team from the North. The M-A girls

Both M-A teams will of
course host, with the girls
tipping off at 6 p.m. The
boys game starts at 7:30
p.m.
The M-A boys ran the
Blake Henry table in the PAL South in
grand style, outscoring
opponents in each of the 12 league wins by
double-digits. The slightest victory the Bears
had in league this season was 72-61 over
Sequoia. That was the only real contest for M-

A, which entered the

fourth quarter against

before running away with
it in the fourth quarter.

Wow, do those boys in the West Catholic

And with the annual Jungle Game between
Serra and St. Ignatius being one of the best

Tuesday night with some wild game.
Serra (11-2 in WCAL, 19-4 overall) closed
out its regular-season home schedule
Tuesday at Morton Family Gymnasium with
an up-tempo 66-55 victory over St. Ignatius
(6-7, 14-9). While senior forward Jake
Killingsworth notched a double-double with
19 points and 14 rebounds, it was the aerodynamics of point guard Lee Jones that stole
the show.
Jones was high-flying to the hoop all night
long, often seeming to hang in midair as he
got his center of gravity about him to exact
effective shots. The 5-11 senior scored a
game-high 20 points, shooting 8 of 11 from
the field.
I was pretty fired up, Jones said. This is
my last Jungle game. So, I had to come out and
put on a show for my family.
Jones had eight family members in attendance to entertain, but he also thrilled his
teammates with his dynamic athleticism.
Hes just a crazy little athlete,
Killingsworth said. Hes super quick and really athletic. Im always thinking hes going to
go up there, turn around and dunk it.
Jones athleticism accounted for one of the
most decisive buckets of the night.
The lead changed hands 15 times amid a seesaw battle through the opening three quarters.
But Jones closed the third quarter with a glide
through traffic to give the Padres the lead for
good at 45-44. They went on to outscore St.
Ignatius 21-11 in the final quarter.
The odd thing about Jones third-quarter layin with two seconds remaining in the quarter
it was the first shot he took in the second
half. He and Killingsworth both seemed to

Melvin confident in As new-look bullpen

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Manager Bob Melvin has

been forced to recall all those demoralizing
one-run losses by the Oakland Athletics last
season, yet now he is able to envision far
more favorable scenarios for 2016.
He believes his club is far better equipped
to take close games in the late innings
thanks to a revamped bullpen featuring
depth and experience.
Oakland went a dismal 19-35 in one-run

games, leading the majors in one-run

defeats.
You look at the one-run games and you
look at how we did in the bullpen late in
games and you look at what we acquired this
year, Melvin said. You win a good share
of those games instead of lose them now
were in a completely different position. I
think the offense got better as we went
along, certainly toward the end of the year
when Danny (Valencia) came in so I think
all those parts combined, were looking
forward to having a good year again.

John Axford, Ryan Madson, Marc

Rzepczynski and Liam Hendriks will give
Melvin options leading to a healthy Sean
Doolittle to close in the ninth inning.
Oaklands relievers owned the worst ERA
in the American League last season at 4.63
and third-highest in baseball.

Lawyer in Title IX case says focus is UT, not Peyton Manning

By Steve Megargee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. The lawyer for six

women suing the University of Tennessee
over its handling of sexual assault complaints by student-athletes is focused on
what he considers the schools systemic
problems and is surprised at the attention
the complaints brief mention of Peyton
Manning generated.
Its certainly unanticipated, attorney
David Randolph Smith said.
Smith said he included events from the
last two decades one involved Manning
in 1996 to show how Tennessee has handled reports of misconduct.
We included one small paragraph about
the Manning situation in the complaint,
just as part of the overall background and
history, Smith said.
Peyton Manning is not a party to our
lawsuit, he added. All these reports that
say hes in the lawsuit, well hes referenced,
but its part of the historical background.
The lawsuit filed last week in federal court
in Nashville states Tennessee has violated
Title IX regulations and created a hostile
sexual environment through a policy of
indifference toward assaults by student-athletes.
The suit focuses on five cases that were
reported between 2013 and 2015, but it also

references incidents involving Tennessee

student-athletes dating to 1995.
One paragraph in the 64-page document
refers to a sexual harassment complaint
made by a Tennessee trainer in 1996 involving an incident that occurred in a training
room while she was treating Manning, the
quarterback at Tennessee from 1994-97 who
just helped the Denver Broncos win the
Super Bowl.
Smith did say that as he prepares discovery for the Title IX lawsuit, he would look
into some of the allegations in the 2003
document that details how former Volunteers
trainer Jamie Ann Naughright perceived
Tennessee was handling her sexual harassment complaints against the mens athletic
department.
Mannings father, Archie, declined comment via text.
After giving his State of the University
of Tennessee address Tuesday in Nashville,
school President Joe DiPietro read from a
statement in which he said he couldnt take
any questions related to pending litigation,
specifically the Title IX lawsuit.
DiPietro instead reiterated a statement
issued last week by the schools attorney,
Bill Ramsey, that said any assertion that
we do not take sexual assault seriously
enough is simply not true.
To claim that we have allowed a culture to
exist contrary to our institutional commitment to providing a safe environment for

our students or that we do not support those

who report sexual assault is just false.
DiPietro also said, Were always concerned about our students safety and we
always strive to keep a safe environment.
In the current legal proceedings, U.S.
District Judge Aleta Trauger denied on
Tuesday the six unidentified womens
motion to temporarily restrain the university in their official capacities, from utilizing the Tennessee Uniform Administrative
Procedures Act in its investigation and adjudication of campus sexual assault cases
involving university students.
The plaintiffs in the Title IX lawsuit say
the schools use of the discriminatory
Tennessee
Uniform
Administrative
Procedures Act in its investigation of sexual assault cases allows only accused perpetrators of sexual assaults (and not victims)
to have the right of confrontation, crossexamination and a right to an evidentiary
administrative hearing. The complaint
adds that Tennessee is unique among U.S.
colleges and universities in using this procedure.
Ramsey had said in a statement that every
state agency in Tennessee has been required
to comply with the Uniform Administrative
Procedures Act since 1974, so the implication that the UAPA is a process created by
the University of Tennessee and reserved for
student-athletes is ludicrous.
Ramsey added Tuesday that if a student

allegedly involved in a sexual assault has

this type of hearing, the person making the
complaint is permitted to have a lawyer who
can intervene on her behalf and cross-examine witnesses.
Naughright reached a $300,000 settlement with the school in 1997 regarding her
sexual-harassment complaints against the
mens athletic department.
She sued Manning for defamation in 2002
in Florida after he discussed the incident in a
book and said she had a vulgar mouth.
That lawsuit was settled a year later, but the
New York Daily News released a 74-page
document Saturday that Naughrights
lawyers had filed on her behalf in 2003
while the defamation suit was in litigation.
Her 1996 sexual harassment complaints
against the Tennessee mens athletic department included an incident in which
Manning exposed his buttocks as
Naughright, then known as Jamie Whited,
bent over to examine his foot. Manning
said at the time it was a prank intended for
another athlete. The sexual harassment
complaint described the incident as a
mooning, but in the defamation lawsuit,
Naughright alleged Manning placed his
naked butt on her face.
The UltraViolet womens group issued a
statement Tuesday urging Nationwide Car
Rental and Papa Johns Pizza to drop
Manning as a spokesman and mentioned his
inclusion in the Title IX lawsuit.

Highlights from the first
running of the Indy 500
Race: First Indianapolis 500
Date: May 30, 1911
Winner: Ray Harroun, Nordyk &
Marmon Company
Av erag e s peed: 74.602 mph
What happened: Races had been
held on what would become
Indianapolis Motor Speedway for
two years before the first Indy 500
was run over the brick-paved track.
Forty cars took the starters red flag
yes, red. The races first fatality
occurred when Arthur Greiner hit the
wall in Turn 2, and his riding
mechanic Sam Dickson was killed.
The race came down to Ray Harroun,
who had come out of retirement, and
Ralph Mulford dueling for the victory. Harroun ultimately won and
returned to retirement.
No tabl e: Harroun drove the No.
32 Marmon Wasp, the only single-seat car in the race. All the other
cars had riding mechanics who
pumped oil, watched for traffic and
made other repairs. Harroun won
$10,000, the same amount baseball
star Ty Cobb earned for the entire
season.

Nieto, Ward carry Sharks to another road win

By Mark Didtler
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TAMPA, Fla. The San Jose

Sharks just keep winning away
from home.
Matt Nieto and Joel Ward both
had a goal and an assist as the
Sharks beat the Tampa Bay
Lightning 4-2 on Tuesday night.
The Sharks improved to 19-8-2 on
the road after opening a five-game
trip with victory.
Its a good start, said San Jose
center Joe Thornton, who had two
assists.
Joe Pavelski and Melker
Karlsson also scored for the
Sharks, who are 7-2-2 over their
last 11 games overall. Martin
Jones improved to 11-2-1 in his
last 14 decisions after making 28
saves.
The Lightning, losers in four of
their last five games, got goals
from Ryan Callahan and Cedric
Paquette. The loss dropped the
2015 Stanley Cup finalist into
ninth place in the Eastern
Conference.
When you keep losing, youre
an 8-0 mercy-run victory over winless De Anza in Tuesdays Coast
North Conference opener at Bulldog
Field.
The Bulldogs (1-0 in Coast North,
10-1 overall) erupted for four runs in
the first then added two in the second and two more in the third.
Pitchers Samantha Dean and
Morgan Jones did the rest, combining for a one-hit shutout of De Anza
(0-9).
Dean earned the win, working
three innings as the starter to
improve her record to 4-0.
The Wells sisters fronted a 10-hit
performance by the CSM lineup.
Meagan Wells was 2 for 2 with a
double, two RBIs and two runs
scored out of the leadoff spot. Older
sister Riley Wells was 2 for 2 with a
triple, one RBI and two runs scored.
Dean also went 2 for 2.

Cooper said.
Youre going

Guys are trying, Cooper
Matt Nieto
added. Were
just cheating a little bit now. All
the things on the defensive side of
the puck weve done the past two
and half years, were going
through a stretch here where were
not doing those things.
Steven Stamkos was pointless
with three shots and finished
minus-1 in the Lightnings first
game since general manager Steve
Yzerman announced Monday that
the team captain wont be moved
before this months trade deadline.
Stamkos, who has a no-trade
clause in his contract, is in the
final year of a deal that pays him
about $5.5 million this season.
He is eligible to become an unre-

agent in July.
San
Jose
took a 3-2 lead
1:17 into the
third
when
Nieto beat Ben
Bishop from
in-close after
taking a backhand pass from

Patrick Marleau.
Karlsson made it 4-2 with 1:43
to play.
We kind of eliminated the neutral zone with the turnovers and
took away a little bit of their
speed, Pavelski said. Guys made
some plays at the right time. We
got the saves as well.
After Pavelski gave San Jose a
2-1 advantage on his team-best
26th goal at 6:34 of the second,
Paquette got the equalizer 2:12
later with his first goal in 22
games.
Callahan skated down the slot
and scored off a pass from Alex
Killorn to open the scoring at

17:51 of the first. Callahans

sixth goal this season stopped an
18-game drought and was just his
second in his last 42 games.
Ward tied it at 1 1:43 into the
second. Marc-Edouard Vlasic
assisted on the goal and extended
his team defenseman consecutive
game assist streak to eight games.
Were happy with the win,
Vlasic said.
No tes : Pavelski ended a sixgame goal drought. ... Marleau
played in his 1,384th NHL game,
which ties him for 39th place with
Larry Robinson. Thornton (1,340
games) and Dainius Zubrus (1,268
games) are in 51st and 72nd place,
respectively. ... Thornton has a
six-game point streak (six assists,
nine points). For a passer, its
nice when the guys are finishing
the way they are, said Thronton,
who is 15th on the NHL all-time
assist list. He has 26 assists and
42 points in 38 games against
Tampa Bay... Lightning D Matt

Nadal, Ferrer advance at Rio Open

By Stephen Wade
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RIO DE JANEIRO After an

hour-long delay for rain, Rafael
Nadal advanced to the second round
at the Rio Open with 6-1, 6-4 win
over fellow Spaniard Pablo
Carreno.
Nadal won gold in the Beijing
Olympics in 2008 but missed the
London Olympics with an injury.
Despite being asked about it
repeatedly, hes staying away from
talking about the Rios Olympics
that open in six months.
The Olympics is a very important event, a very special one, and
Im going to try my best when the
Olympics arrive, Nadal said. But

for now Im
playing the ATP
tournament in
Rio. Thats the
most important
thing for me.
Also advancing
Tuesday
were No. 2
Rafael Nadal David Ferrer,
who
beat
Nicolas Jarry of Chile 6-3, 7-6 (3),
and No. 5 Dominic Thiem, who had
a 6-3, 6-4 win over Pablo Andujar
of Spain.
Not much will faze Thiem in this
weeks Rio Open.
He beat Nadal the king of clay
last week in the semifinals in
Buenos Aires, and then won the

event for his fourth clay-court

title.
Both things gave me a lot of
confidence, but after the match
with Nadal I wanted to give everything to win the tournament, the
22-year-old Austrian said. The
win against Rafa would have been
worth only half if I had lost the
final.
No. 3 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga had his
match rained out against Thiago
Monteiro. They will play
Wednesday.
In first-round upsets, Federico
Delbonis of Argentina beat sixthseeded Jack Sock of the United

Thomaz Bellucci 6-7 (3), 7-5, 6-2.

Continued from page 11
enjoying an even better streak, having won
19 straight, with the last loss coming Dec.
10, 2015 at Presentation-San Jose.
In capturing the PAL South title, the Lady
Bears dominated, leading every game for
keeps by halftime, save one.
One of our goals was to go undefeated in
league, M-A girls head coach Markisha
Coleman said. So that motivated us to come
out and play hard every game.
In that one game the Bears trailed at the half
30-23 to Hillsdale, they responded with a
vengeance, outscoring the Knights 52-5 in
the second half.
I dont think any team likes to play from
behind, Coleman said. Our focus coming
into every game is to play good defense. Our
defense kind of sparks our offense. I think
with the Hillsdale game, [Hillsdale] came out
really aggressively.
M-A has been blessed with the good health
of its two bigs this season, Ofa Sili and Greer
Hoyem. The two are running neck-and-neck
for the team lead in rebounding. Hoyem is MAs leading scorer with 12.6 points per game,
while shooting forward Megan Sparrow has
also come on strong as the seasons progressed.
The Bears take on the PAL Norths No. 4
Westmoor. The Rams are paced by outside
shooters Kasey Liang, Daphney Fulgencio
and Sabrina Tan.

Boys basketball
Sequoia at Half Moon Bay, 7 p.m.
As well as the M-A boys have played this

season, no team in the PAL has seen more success than the Half Moon Bay Cougars.
The No. 1 team from the PAL North is ranked
No. 5 in the Bay Area by the San Francisco
Chronicle for good reason. The Cougars have
been nearly perfect, losing just one game a
tight 42-40 loss Dec. 30 to Palma. Since
then, HMB has run the table through 2016 and
through the PAL North, winning 14 straight,
including a perfect 12-0 record in league for
the second time in three years.
The Cougars have been paced by senior center Austin Hilton, who leads the team with 14.5
points per game. And though HMBs rebounding statistics were not available, the 6-7 senior
is also their most prolific post player.
Tommy Nuo may be HMBs most dynamic
all-around player though. While averaging
12.4 points per game, consider he hasnt been
going full-tilt in PAL North play. Aside from
two big league games, both against secondplace Jefferson, he scored no more than 12
points in a single league game, compared to a
13.8 scoring average in nonleague games.
Sequoia, the No. 4 team from the PAL South,
is paced by a pair of non-seniors. Sophomore
Ziggy Lauese leads the Cherokees with 11.2
points per game and 223 rebounds. Junior
NJai LeBlanc averages 11.1 points per game.

Westmoor at Burlingame, 7 p.m.

The No. 2 team in the PAL South,
Burlingame is coming off a 68-38 bounceback win in its regular-season finale at San
Mateo. The Panthers couldnt handle M-A earlier in the week, as the Bears clinched the PAL
South title against Burlingame last Tuesday.
But the Panthers own the most dynamic onetwo punch in the PAL South with point guard
Vinny Ferrari leading the league with a 22.4
scoring average. Forward Tyler Garlitos has
chipped in with 16.3 points per game.
Westmoor, the No. 3 ranked from the PAL

North, finished the regular season at a 2-2 clip

over the last two weeks, including a 56-44
loss to Jefferson in last Fridays rivalry finale.
The Rams are paced by junior Sean Orr with
13.2 points and 12.2 rebounds per game.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

big two are junior forward Aubrie Businger,
averaging 14.2 points and 10.2 rebounds per
game, and senior forward Julia Gibbs with
12.7 points per game.

Carlmont at Oceana, 7 p.m.

Aragon at Jefferson, 7 p.m.
The No. 2 team in the PAL North, Jefferson
ran the table in league play this season with
the exception of its two games against Half
Moon Bay. The Grizzlies have seen an array of
contributors this season, including team captains Devin Evans and David Benjamin. But
senior forward Damari Cual-Davis has been
coming on as of late, having scored 27 points
last Wednesday in a win against Terra Nova.
Aragon, the No. 3 team in the PAL South,
won five straight to close out its regular-season
schedule. Co-team captain Kimon Economou is
a dual-threat as a strong post player, but also
has a rangy jump shot from beyond the arc. And
the dynamic sophomore Davion Cox is capable of being a game-changer when he reins in
his hyper-aggressive play.

Girls basketball
Mills at South City, 7 p.m.
Four girls teams in the PAL posted 10-2
league records and two of them collide as No. 2
in the PAL North South City hosts No. 3 in the
South Mills. The co-North champion
Warriors, since losing to Oceana to start the
second half of their league schedule, won five
straight to close the regular season. South City
is paced by transfer sophomore point guard
Brittney Cedeo, but play an aggressive brand
of basketball with a depth of talent despite
having just nine players on roster including
5-8 sophomore center Nevaeh Miller.
The Vikings are also an aggressive bunch,
which should make for an evenly-paired
matchup. Mills owns the second-best overall
record in the PAL South, after M-A. The teams

The No. 1 team in the PAL North, co-league

champ Oceana earned the top seed due to
heads-up play against Half Moon Bay, sweeping the season series against the third-place
team. Co-league champ South City split with
Oceana, deferring the tiebreaker to heads-up
play against the next highest-placed team
(HMB), against which South City split.
The Sharks own a 20-4 overall record, making them the only team other than M-A
throughout the PAL to reach the 20-win plateau.
Oceana touts a greatly balanced scoring attack,
with a different points leader every game. Four
players averaged in double-digits throughout
the regular season Sala Langi (12 ppg),
Kyana Wiley (10.8 ppg), Nandi Eskridge (10.7
ppg) and Ariana Margate (10.3 ppg).
Carlmont, the No. 4 team in the PAL South,
lost two of its last three league games. The
Scots are paced by junior guard Alexa
Bayangos, who scored 21 points Feb. 3 in a
win over Capuchino.

Half Moon Bay at Hillsdale, 7 p.m.

The No. 2 team in the PAL South, Hillsdale
is the other team with a 10-2 record in league.
And with the Knights reliance on the outside
shot, this should be another well-matched
showdown of similar styles. Half Moon Bay,
the No. 3 team in the PAL North, has a sharp
3-point shooter in junior guard Addison
Walling, but also a strong post presence in 510 junior forward Ally Longaker. Hillsdale is
all about the 3s, with senior Emily
Nepomuceno the most lethal from beyond the
arc. Still, senior guard Caelynn Hwang is the
Knights leading scorer with a 9.3 average.

that we have, Melvin said. We feel like if
all these guys are healthy, not only do we
have a rotation that we feel is going to be
productive, but we also have some depth.
The As finished 68-94 in 2015 for last
place in the AL West, missing the playoffs
after three straight berths.
Here are some things to watch for heading
into As spring training this month at Mesa,
Arizona:

Butler bounce back?

Designated hitter Billy Butler tends to hit
better in the seasons second half, yet in
2015 he couldnt make up for his lack of
production out of the gates to get fully on
track in his first season with the As.

JUNGLE
Continued from page 11
ball in the quarter. Killingsworth took just
two shots in the quarter, both converted.
Coach wanted us to move the ball, so that
was a big emphasis in the locker room,
Jones said. So, I came out and got my team
involved, and then got myself involved.
But Serra head coach Chuck Rapp on the
day it was announced he is to be inducted into
the Peninsula Sports Hall of Fame said he
didnt put the kibosh on anyone shooting. He
attributed the hyper-passing game, especially
that of Killingsworth, to unselfishness.
That was just Jake, Rapp said. Jake,
sometimes his unselfishness becomes a detriment but he stepped up and made some big
plays for us down the stretch.

It didnt help he was hampered by wrist

injuries early in spring training that limited
his swing.
Butler batted a career-worst .251 with 15
homers and 65 RBIs.
I had minor issues last year when camp
started, I couldnt swing right away, he
said. My progress is a lot better than it was
last year. Im 100 percent with everything
on that now.

The Crisp factor

healthy, Melvin said. Its going to be all

about how it works when he plays.

Able infield
Oakland brought back Jed Lowrie, who
will join shortstop Marcus Semien and third
baseman Valencia, who is eager for a full
season to settle in with the As following
his August trade from Toronto. Add Eric
Sogard to the mix and Melvin can get creative.

The As dont know yet whether Coco

Crisp can be their everyday left fielder. He
played only 44 games last season fewest
since his rookie season of 2002 with
Cleveland because of injuries that included a lingering neck problem that kept him
from being his usual catalyst at the top of
the order.
Hes worked hard this spring, and I know
he started hitting a lot sooner than he did in
years past, just to come in feeling like hes

Doolittles health

From the opening tipoff though, the Padres

showcased their patented high-octane
defense, forcing St. Ignatius to spread the
floor in its half-court set. And the strategy had
the Wildcats out of whack for the opening four
minutes.
Serra jumped out to a 10-3 lead midway
through the opening quarter on Jones first
bucket of the night. Previous to that,
Killingsworth and Miles Todzo hit a pair of 3pointers, both assisted by Jones.
But even as the Wildcats shot just 1 for 11
from the field in the opening quarter, they
clawed their way back into it converting 6 of
7 free throws. And heading into the second
quarter, Serra held a slighter 14-9 lead.
Then St. Ignatius came out blazing in the
second quarter with a pair of quick 3-pointers
of its own. Jack Coulter knocked down the
first, followed by Darrion Trammell to swing
the lead to the Wildcats for the first time in the
game at 15-14.

Then a back-and-forth battle ensued. And so

did a wildly physical game.
Im a physical guy, Rapp said. So if it
aint rough, it aint right.
But things got rougher than even Rapp
would have liked early in that second quarter
when Killingsworth drove in for layup
attempt, colliding with St. Ignatius defender
Matt Redmond. While Killingsworth managed
to draw a foul, his elbow whacked Redmond in
the eye, causing a gash to open up leaving the
sophomore looking like he had stepped into
the ring of a heavyweight prize fight as blood
streamed down his cheek.
Redmond wasnt off the floor for long. He
got bandaged up and played the rest of the way.
And he even had a key play to end the half,
gathering a long errant inbound pass by
Killingsworth at midcourt and taking it to the
hoop to give the Wildcats a 29-28 lead going
into the locker room.
But after the score seesawed throughout the

Doolittle is ready for a full season after a

strain in his left shoulder derailed his year.
The 29-year-old lefty was limited to 12
outings and 13 2-3 innings in 2015, going
1-0 with a 3.95 ERA and four saves.
Im ready to go, excited to get into
spring training with no restrictions, feeling good, he said.

Vogt recovers
Catcher Stephen Vogt had looked forward
to working with all the new relievers early
in spring training, but now he will have to
push back that timeline.
Vogt had arthroscopic surgery on his
right elbow Jan. 29 and is expected to be
healthy by opening day.
A first-time All-Star last season, Vogt hit.
261 with 18 home runs and 71 RBIs in 136
games.

Offense
Oakland ranked 18th in baseball for hitting, but now has Valencia from Day 1. He
batted a combined .290 between the Blue
Jays and As with 18 home runs and 66 RBIs.
Offensively were going to have some
great parts, Melvin said. We like our team
as we sit here right now.
third quarter with Serra forward Jeremiah
Testa scoring five points of his nine points
on the night, including a clutch 3 early on to
give the Padres the lead after theyd trailed by
five the Serra defense started causing
turnovers. St. Ignatius committed seven
turnovers in the second half, after just two in
the first.
We got stops, Rapp said. Thats what
weve done all season. It comes down to getting stops. But I give credit to our opponents.
They played us tough.
St. Ignatius junior forward Brandon
Beckman scored a team-high 17 points.
Trammell added 15.
Despite the win, Serra will settle for second
place in the WCAL. St. Francis officially
wrapped up the league title outright Tuesday
with a 67-55 win over MItty.

New rules would increase food

stamp access to healthy foods

Americans sending
less lobster North as
processing grows

By Mary Clare Jalonick

By Patrick Whittle

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Agriculture

Department unveiled new rules on Tuesday
that would force retailers who accept food
stamps to stock a wider variety of healthy
foods or face the loss of business as consum
ers shop elsewhere.
The proposed rules are designed to ensure
that the more than 46 million Americans
who use food stamps have better access to
healthy foods although they dont dictate
what people buy or eat. A person using food
stamp dollars could still purchase as much
junk food as they wanted, but they would at
least have more options in the store to buy
fruits, vegetables, dairy, meats and bread.
USDA is committed to expanding access
for SNAP participants to the types of foods
that are important to a healthy diet, Kevin
Concannon, USDA undersecretary for food,
nutrition and consumer services, said in a
statement. This proposed rule ensures that
retailers who accept SNAP benefits offer a
variety of products to support healthy
choices for those participating in the program.
In 2014, Congress required the
Agriculture Department to develop regulations to make sure that stores that accept
food stamp dollars, now called the
Supplemental
Nutrition
Assistance
Program, or SNAP, stock a wider array of
healthy food choices.
Under current rules, SNAP retailers must
stock at least three varieties of foods in
each of four food groups: fruits and vegetables, dairy, breads and cereals, and meats,
poultry and fish. The new rules would require
the retailers to stock seven varieties in each
food group, and at least three of the food
groups would have to include perishable
items. In all, the rules would require stores
to stock at least 168 items that USDA considers healthy.
The proposal would also require that
retailers have enough in stock of each item

SACO, Maine Americas lobster industry is sending less of its catch to Canada as
processing grows in New England, and the
growth could have widespread ramifications
for consumers who are demanding more lobster products every year.
U.S. lobstermen, clustered in the coastal
New England states, have long sent a large
amount of their catch to Canadas Maritime
Provinces, where some two dozen companies process millions of pounds of lobster
meat every year into everything from vacuum-sealed lobster meat packages to lobster
pate. The processed lobster ends up in products like lobster ravioli and lobster pot pie
that are growing in popularity with consumers.
But the dynamics of the processing industry are slowly changing. America exported
about 69 million pounds of lobster to
Canada in 2014, and the 2015 figure was
less than 67 million, federal data show.
The trend comes as the lobster catch is
booming, enabling the growth in processed
lobster products. American fishermen set a
record for lobster catch in 2012 and nearly
topped it the following two years.
More processing plants in Maine are providing a way for fishermen to sell their lobsters locally rather than export, and
Massachusetts lawmakers might change

New rules would allow food stamp users to access a wider, healthier variety of food.
so that the foods would be continuously
available.
The rules could mean that fewer convenience stores qualify to be SNAP retailers.
The convenience store industry has argued
that it often operates the only stores that
serve certain neighborhoods and at certain
times, like overnight. Concannon said the
department would try to ensure that the rules
dont affect SNAP recipients access to food
retailers, and the department may consider
waiving the proposed requirements in some
areas.
The rules come as a key House Republican
is pushing for drug tests for food stamp
recipients and new cuts to the program.
Alabama Rep. Robert Aderholt, the chairman of the subcommittee that oversees
USDA spending, introduced a bill last
Thursday that would allow states to require
drug testing. The move is designed to help
states like Wisconsin, where Gov. Scott
Walker has sued the federal government, to
permit screening.
USDA has pushed back on such efforts, as
it did when Republicans unsuccessfully

attempted to cut 5 percent from the program

during negotiations over the 2014 farm
bill. The push comes as SNAP use has skyrocketed the program served more than
46 million Americans and cost $74 billion
last year. Thats twice the programs 2008
cost.
While I have not seen Rep. Aderholts
proposed legislation, I have serious concerns about an approach that could deprive a
family of access to food and basic necessities simply because a member of the family
is struggling with addiction, Vilsack said
after Aderholt introduced the bill.

Stew: Simple meal with slow cooker ease

By Melissa DArabian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

There are two kinds of people fans of

slow-cookers and those who havent tried
them. Im denitely the former.
I just love my slow-cooker. I make everything in it, from summertime ribs to baked
potatoes to spaghetti squash. But in the
winter, there is nothing quite as satisfying
as a thick stew or hearty soup that bubbles
away gently all day, slowing lling the
house with welcoming aromas while Im off
at work, running errands or spending the
day at my daughters school.
My kids slow-cooker favorite? Probably
Southwestern stew. It has all the avors
they love, plus they are allowed to have
(baked) corn chips at dinner, which is exciting stuff around the dArabian house.
I make a version that is trimmed down and
healthier, full of ber and protein thanks to
the combination of black beans and chickpeas. But the star of this soup is the ground
beef. I love ground turkey, and I certainly
have made this soup with it, but lean ground
beef is, calorie-wise, a close peer of most
ground turkey.
In fact, many of the ground turkey packages offered will have higher fat and calorie
count than 95 percent lean ground beef. For
a 4-ounce serving, lean ground beef boasts
24 grams of protein and just 160 calories
and 4 grams of fat! And, ground beef just
feels more like comfort food (since I grew

up in an era before we regularly ground up

our Thanksgiving bird to eat it year-round).

Slow cooker Southwestern stew

To make this dish even easier, you can
prep it up to the step of layering all of the
ingredients in the slow cooker, then refrigerate it overnight. In the morning, just pop
the slow cooker insert into the cooker and
walk away.

Start to nish: 4 hours on high, 8 hours

on low (20 minutes active)
Servings: 6
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef (93 percent
or leaner)
1 large yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked or sweet paprika

28-ounce can diced tomatoes
12-ounce bottle light beer
1 cup prepared tomato salsa (mild or hot)
15-ounce can black beans, drained and
rinsed
15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and
rinsed
1 cup frozen corn (do not thaw)
1 cup frozen chopped spinach (do not
thaw)
Juice of 1/2 lime
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
To serve:
Crushed baked tortilla chips
Cubed avocado
Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
Chopped fresh cilantro
Chopped tomatoes
Shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
In a large saute pan over medium-high,
heat the oil. Add the beef and cook until
browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Spoon the beef
into a slow cooker, then layer the remaining ingredients (except the lime juice, salt
and pepper) over it. Cook on high for 4
hours or 7 to 8 hours on low. Stir in the lime
juice, then season with salt and pepper.
Serve with optional toppings.

$8.6 million in the last fiscal year, only
$100,000 more than the previous year.
Despite the marginal growth, San Bruno
still collected more sales tax than ever
before, as the record for sales tax revenue
collection was set in the prior fiscal year.
Hotel rooms throughout the city were

to the report, as the city drew $400,000
more than the 2013-2014 fiscal year in

In all, the city drew in $26 million from
tax revenue last year, more than the $24.9

San Bruno has recovered from the hit the
city suffered during the economic downswing, and further growth is anticipated,
according to a statement from Finance

Tomorrow we test this, Staffan de
Mistura said after meeting with Syrias foreign minister. The U.N. later announced the
government of President Bashar Assad has
approved access to seven such areas across
the country and that convoys would head out
in the coming days.
De Mistura has been trying to secure aid
deliveries to improve the chances of restarting peace talks before the end of February.
But those efforts have been clouded by the

intense fighting north of Aleppo, where

various forces backed by regional and international rivals are clashing over a crucial
strip of land linking Syrias largest city to
the border with Turkey.

Syrian government troops and allied militias, backed by heavy Russian bombardment, are closing in on the area, hoping to
seal off parts of Aleppo held by rebels since
2012 in what would be a major blow to the
opposition. Syrias state news agency
SANA and opposition activists said government forces have seized two more villages.

continue at a moderate pace over the next

couple years. The citys unemployment rate
decreased by 1.6 percent from the year prior
to 3.1 percent. This job growth has led to
rising home prices and a significant
increase in commercial and residential
development activity.
San Bruno also benefited financially from
being located near Interstate 380, which
connects Highway 101 and Interstate 280,
as well as having Bay Area Rapid Transit
and Caltrain stations and easy access to San
Francisco International Airport.
The citys geographic location also has
significant impact on its economic position, said Kraetsch.
Despite the financial growth enjoyed
recently, officials maintained a staunch
commitment to responsible management of
San Brunos assets, said Kraetsch.
The citys long-term financial policies
place an emphasis on growing its reserves
to ensure the city has adequate funds available to meet future needs, she said.
Through its prudent fiscal management and
use of budgetary controls, the city has managed to grow its reserves during the past
several years despite the economic downturn.
The San Bruno City Council approved a
reserve policy in 2013 ensuring a general
fund reserve of $1.5 million is maintained
at all times. The city also holds an emergency disaster reserve worth $3 million and

a capital improvement or one-time initiative reserve worth $5 million.

As the citys financial footing has
improved, so has been the case for the average San Bruno resident, who is earned more
income last year than any point in the previous decade, according to the report.
Per capita personal income rose to
$36,234, according to the report, up from
$35,919 the year prior and $33,050 in
2006.
As income has grown, so has the size of
San Bruno, according to the report, as population jumped to 44,409 residents, up from
42,355 the year prior, the most residents
since 2010.
Last year, YouTube remained the largest
employer in San Bruno, offering 1,329
jobs, up from 800 the year prior, according
to the report.
To accommodate that influx of new workers, YouTube recently purchased an office
park near the intersection of El Camino
Real and Interstate 380 near the companys
headquarters on Cherry Avenue.
Artichoke Joes Casino remained the
citys second most popular source of jobs,
offering employment to 385 workers,
according to the report.
San Brunos top 10 employers, which
also includes the city and the local elementary school district, account for 13.4 percent of the jobs in the city.

last year.
Library program participation has increased
by nearly 30 percent over the same period,
according to the report.
Under the weight of the increased demand, a
new strategic vision for the library needed to
be developed, especially considering the
desire for additional services, according to the
report.
Residents want a new main library that
provides enough space to support a variety of
activities, said the report. People want to
use the library to read, study, create, take a
class, attend an event, gather socially and utilize technology.
Despite the variety of exciting programs
residents have expressed a desire to see implemented in any future designs of the library,
Elsholz said a demand for traditional services

Maines lobster meat processing industry

barely existed 25 years ago, slowly grew to
five companies in 2010 and now includes
15 firms that processed about 20 million
pounds of meat in 2013. Voters agreed to
help pay for more growth through a 2014
referendum to dedicate $7 million in public
money to Maine seafood and lobster processing.
In Massachusetts, where the lobster
industry and some state leaders see the possibility of creating a bigger lobster-processing sector, the state Senate approved a
bill in January that updates state laws to
permit processing, sales and transportation
of cooked and frozen in-shell lobster parts.
New Englands processing industry

remains dwarfed by Canadas. Companies in

provinces including New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia processed about 150 million
pounds of lobster in 2013.
But leaders in Canadas industry have
noticed the U.S. growth. Jerry Amirault,
president of the Lobster Processors
Association of New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia, said he anticipates more competition between the U.S. and Canada for lobsters to process.
The slight drop in lobster exports to
Canada can be attributed to more factors
than just processing growth, such as the
supply of lobsters and the weak Canadian
dollar, said John Sackton, an industry analyst and publisher of Seafood.com.

public safety component to the bill, Mullin
said, noting the three convicts who escaped
from a Southern California prison last month
evaded detection after using a dealer license
plate on a stolen vehicle before being apprehended in San Francisco. If you talk to public
safety officers, law enforcement, they will tell
you its incredibly challenging if you dont
have a license plate or temporary license plate
with an identifying number when theyre trying
to solve crimes.
The bill would require the Department of
Motor Vehicles to develop and implement an
automated system that car dealers would use to
ensure cars are affixed with an identifying plate
before being driven off the lot, according to the
bill.
Furthermore, its estimated the state loses out
on $15 million a year from those evading
bridge tolls; $9 million of which the
Metropolitan Transportation Commission said
should be collected in the Bay Area.
People are receiving their plates from the
DMV and not putting them on and avoiding
tolls. So theres a fairness issue with exploiting

Murtuza was uncertain for how long the

back to life, which required extensive cleaning and inspection of its structural integrity, among other efforts.
Basically we had to rebuild the well, he

Some commissioners indicated at a daylong

including times when Lester left them in the

this loophole, Mullin said.

After receiving some initial pushback,
Mullins bill is gaining traction having passed
the Assembly floor and will soon be up for a
vote in the Senate.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Rosemary Shahan, president of Consumers

for Auto Reliability and Safety, said her organization initially opposed the bill and is hopeful
Mullin will make amendments to address their
concerns.
Supportive of law enforcement being able to
identify vehicles, Shahan said consumers
shouldnt be punished if by no fault of their
own, their permanent plates are not delivered
within 90 days.
Theres no requirement within the existing
law that dealers actually had to get you the
plates within 90 days and there are multiple reasons why they dont get them. Dealers going
out of business, backlogs at the DMV or
plates getting sent to the dealer instead of the
consumer; for whatever reason, its out of the
consumers control. They paid to get their car
registered and theyre just waiting for their
plates and we dont want those people being
pulled over and ticketed and having their cars
impounded, Shahan said.
After meeting with representatives from the

California Peace Officers Association and learning police have access to information as to
whether a drivers permanent plates were delivered, Shahan said she hopes Mullin will incorporate language that consumers wont be ticketed if they didnt receive their plates within 90
days.
Another sticking point is the bills proposed
$10 increase of document fees dealers can
charge to cover costs of implementing the temporary tag system. New car buyers could pay up
to $90 while those purchasing used cars may
pay $75, according to the bill.
Although Mullin said consumers could negotiate with the dealer to not pay those fees,
Shahan said its unlikely that many will actually do so. Furthermore, used cars typically
already have license plates and consumers
would be charged for a system theyre not using,
she said.
Shahan said one option the association suggested that would make the fee seem more
worthwhile is to implement a voluntary in case
of emergency contact list that is affiliated with
the license plate. Law enforcement might have
an easier time determining who to notify if a
person is in an accident, Shahan said, adding
she hopes compromises can be met to improve
the legislation.
Wed like to see the bill pass and for them to
address the potential downsides, Shahan said.

Another hurdle Mullin must negotiate is

addressing concerns from the governors office
and the DMV.
Officials with the DMV have been resistant to
accept the added work of implementing this new
system as they are still working to adhere to
other new laws such as issuing licenses for
undocumented immigrants and the New Motor
Voter Act, which would automatically register
people who are getting drivers license, Mullin
said.
Still, a framework is already in place with the
existing permanent license plate system and
the DMV would have two years to implement
this public safety program that has proven successful in other state, Mullin said.
I am hopeful that weve educated the administration, the governors office and the DMV as
to the importance both from a fairness standpoint when it comes to tolls, but more importantly from a public safety standpoint, Mullin
said. Every day we wait, tolls are being evaded
and weve got hit-and-runs. So we need to get
this thing fixed now.

We are taking it one step at a time, said

Murtuza.
Under water conservation mandates issued
by the state, Murtuza said Burlingame was
required to reduce usage across the city by 16
percent from 2013 levels, which city officials and residents excelled far beyond.
At the peak of the drought last summer,
Murtuza said the Burlingame had reduced its
water use by roughly 36 percent, more than
double what was required.
The city has been ahead of the curve,
Murtuza said of Burlingames water conservation efforts.
He said the success was due in part to a
public awareness campaign mounted by city
officials encouraging residents to reduce
their water consumption, as well as offering
rebates to those willing to replace their
home appliances such as toilets and wash-

ing machines with new, more efficient models.

Its great news, Murtuza said of the
citys reduced water use.
For the well, Murtuza said a significant
amount of testing needed to be done to
ensure it produced water with a quality up to
the state standards, and that there was no
sediment or saltwater seeping into it below
ground.
He called the rehabilitation effort a risky
project, as the well was known to have
problems in the past, but said city workers
and consultants have collaborated over the
past year to successfully complete the project.
There were a lot of challenges and problems in making it operational, said
Murtuza.
Under water conservation regulations

announced by Gov. Jerry Brown last year,

use of potable water for irrigation purposes
by municipalities was limited and in some
cases prohibited, which Murtuza said compelled the city to look into bringing the
well back on line.
In an effort to observe the potable water
use rules imposed during the drought,
Murtuza said city workers had been restricted in the projects they could take on, resulting in some cleaning and irrigation projects
being postponed.
But with the well back in use, Murtuza said
initiatives such as tree irrigation in the
citys parks department and power washing
streets or steam cleaning can begin again
without such stringent limitations.
This will reduce the dependence of the
city on potable water for municipal services, said Murtuza.

dark on important matters.

It feels like there were alternative motives to
what happened reasons that were unstated as
to the firing and all of that shows that that
decision and the activities of the commission
were not all above board, Stone said.
He and Assemblyman Richard Bloom, DSanta Monica, were members of the commission and helped hire Lester as executive director
in 2011. Bloom is also supporting the proposal.
The bill would amend the Political Reform
Act of 1974 to require anyone lobbying the

Coastal Commission to report who they work

for, their pay and the issues on which they are
trying to sway the commission.
The Coastal Commission was established
two years before the act, but is not explicitly
included in that laws lobbying transparency
procedures.
One of Atkins two appointees voted to
remove Lester. After the 7-5 vote, Atkins tweeted, Let me apologize to the public. I truly
thought my appointees would be better stewards
of the coast.
Atkins said the proposed change would end

special treatment that lobbyists and commissioners have been able to exploit. It would
require people who lobby the Coastal
Commission to disclose just as they would if

And were also supportive of the family notification and we would consider saying OK, thats

DMV concerns

The measure borrows language from a similar

proposal that failed in 2005 by one vote in the
state Senate. The proposal would require support from two-thirds of lawmakers to pass out of
the Legislature because it seeks to amend the
Political Reform Act.
At least 20 lawmakers, all Democrats, are
supporting the proposal.

SUMMARY OF
PROPOSED ORDINANCE
The City Council of the City
of Millbrae, at its meeting on
February 9 2016, introduced
an Ordinance entitled:
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY
OF MILLBRAE AUTHORIZING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMMUNITY
CHOICE AGGREGATION
PROGRAM
The purpose of the proposed Ordinance is to authorize Millbrae to implement a Community Choice
Aggregation Program. This
program will allow Millbrae
businesses and residents a
choice of power providers
with the intent of achieving
greater local control and involvement over the provision
of electric services, competitive electric rates, development of clean, local, renewal
energy projects, reduced
greenhouse gas emissions,
and wider implementation of
emergency
conservation
and efficiency projects and
programs. Millbrae, along
with the County of San Mateo and other cities and
towns, will execute a Joint
Powers Agreement to form
the Peninsula Clean Energy
Authority (Authority). The
Authority will enter into
agreements with electric
power suppliers and other
service providers and will be
able to provide residents
and businesses power at
rates competitive with those
of the incumbent utility
(PG&E).
All five members of the City
Council, to wit, Councilmembers Holober, Lee, Papan,
Schneider, and Mayor Oliva,
were present and voted in
favor of the adoption of this
Ordinance. The proposed
Ordinance will be presented
to the City Council for adoption on February 23, 2016.
