Tenant protections stall again

Relocation assistance program put off as landlords flood San Mateo City Council meeting
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The San Mateo City Council

were again unable to achieve consensus and did not adopt tenant
protection measures for residents
struggling to stay in their homes
after dozens of property owners
spoke in opposition of a relocation assistance program they
compared to rent control.
A tenants group opted not to

come

November ballot and the City
Council seemed
willing to let it
David Lim
go to the voters
after failing for
the second week to reach a consen-

sus on how to address the impacts

on renters.
The special meeting was a carryover from a week earlier when
the council reviewed a report from
its housing task force an
appointed group made up of
renters, faith leaders and real
estate lobbyists. The report highlighted how the jobs to housing
imbalance has led to few being
able to buy in San Mateo while
rents have increased more than 40

percent over the last four years.

The meeting packed with landlords, ended with many walking
out as Deputy Mayor David Lim
played a recorded voicemail in
which a renter and former San
Mateo resident cried while
expressing her struggles.
Lim and Councilman Rick
Bonilla, who supported last
weeks unsuccessful temporary 90day just cause eviction and rent
control ordinance, opposed the

relocation assistance program. A

formal vote was never taken but
none agreed to support the measure as is and did not to give staff
formal direction on how to proceed.

process isnt working well, I

A special spring break

Make-A-Wish grants an African safari to extraordinary family

For spring break, the Goddard

family is taking a vacation that
most families will never get to
experience.
This San Mateo family of six,
one of who has an extremely rare,
chromosomal abnormality, will
have an experience many will
never know.
Giving children with life-altering or life-threatening illnesses
an experience of a lifetime, the
Make-A-Wish foundation has
granted Robbie Goddard his wish

to go on an African safari.
Robbie Goddard, 16, was born
with Trisomy, a rare chromosomal
abnormality which causes severe
intellectual and physical disability.
It was a very scary birth. When
he was born, we thought that he
didnt have lungs, but he does,
said Beth Goddard.
The disease is rare and there is
not a lot of information about it,
said Beth Goddard. Due to its rarity, there are no cases to compare it
to or treatment processes that can
be adopted. Along with a team of
specialists, Beth, her husband

The Downtown Precise Plan,

adopted, the citys redevelopment

Millbrae capital improvements come into focus

Officials to discuss ongoing projects, as well as future goals
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Millbrae officials are committed to soon

addressing a variety of necessary capital
improvement projects, including spending
roughly $6 million on replacing sewer and
water mains, according to a city report.
The City Council is set to receive an
update on many of the proposed infrastructure fixes during an upcoming meeting
Tuesday, April 12, designed to grant officials and residents a clearer vision of the
work they can soon expect to see get underway.
But despite the significant financial obligation made toward replacing and repairing
water and wastewater underground infrastructure, some officials feel much more attention should to given to capital projects in
Millbrae.
We have just been keeping our heads a
little above water, and I would say that we
are below water, said Councilman Wayne
Lee. Its hard to keep up, just to keep our
system from collapsing.
Officials have identified roughly 75 projects which need to be addressed, ranging in
cost from $10,000 to ensure City Halls
bathrooms are compliant under the
Americans with Disabilities Act, to $2.9
million to replace water mains.
Lee said many of the citys needs are not
too different from many other surrounding
communities, but noted addressing them
may be more difficult because city coffers in
Millbrae may not be as flush as neighboring cities.
We have more challenges because we
dont have as much revenue, said Lee.
Vice Mayor Reuben Holober said he
agreed there is likely need for more money
to address all the projects identified in the
report.
You can always use more funding, he
said.
But officials are considering developing
spending plans which span two years,
rather than the single year budgets the city
has drafted in previous years, said Holober,
which can offer more clarity regarding
ongoing financial obligations.
Ultimately though, more revenue is necessary to address the entire list of projects,
said Holober, and officials are hopeful
development in the area near the citys rail
station can be a source of economic stimulus.
Once we begin development on the station area, hopefully the goal is to be a significant revenue source to address some of
these issues, he said.

The council recently approved the
Millbrae Station Area Specific Plan, which
set policy for construction of new homes,
office space, retail spaces and possibly a
hotel in the 116-acre site surrounding the
citys joint Caltrain and Bay Area Rapid
Transit Station.
Holober added he is hopeful the hiring of
a new Public Works director will help the
city address the capital improvement projects over the coming years.
Ray Chan, who has worked as an administrator in Public Works departments in San
Carlos and Albany, recently agreed to head
the department in Millbrae, replacing former director of Public Works and assistant
city manager Chip Taylor, who took a job in
Menlo Park. Peter Vorametsanti had been
serving in an interim role as officials
searched for Taylors permanent replacement.
Millbrae has only allocated roughly 12
percent of the amount budgeted for capital
improvements the current fiscal year,
according to the report, but Holober said he
expected that spending to ramp up with a
new department head in place.
A relatively low amount of the funds
have been spent, because it has been difficult to manage all this with an interim person, said Holober.
But as construction gets underway on
water and sewer main replacements, expected to cost roughly $3 million per project,
Holober said officials will also seize the
opportunity to address fixes to roads which
may have fallen into disrepair.
A report issued by the Metropolitan
Transportation Agency last year found
Millbrae had some of the worst road conditions in the county, and Holober acknowledged many residents remain dissatisfied
with the state of the citys streets.
The one issue that is most noticeable to
residents in road quality and street quality.
That is something people see every day, and
we are not where we should be, he said.
As officials prepare to dig deeper into
budget priorities for the coming years,
Holober said capital improvements will
remain a priority.
This is something we will be looking at
for the upcoming fiscal year budget, which
we will begin to discuss in the coming
months, he said.
When considering future capital improve-

ments, Lee suggested City Hall needed a significant overhaul, as the building is becoming antiquated and inadequate to address the
needs of a modern city government.
He said city workers throughout the building are cramped, and there is insufficient
meeting space, among other concerns.
To address such issues, Lee suggested officials consider selling the City Hall property
to a developer willing to build more housing at the site, and use the revenue from the
sale to build a new, modern facility elsewhere.
He said City Halls current location, 621
Magnolia Ave., is the ideal space for residences as it is close to the citys downtown,
while City Hall could still function at
another site.
I think it is an idea that we could
explore, he said.
Burlingame officials have examined a
similar proposal to move City Hall from its
current site, and building more housing on
the piece of city property.
Holober said he believed some of Lees
ideas had merits, but considered the project
a tremendous undertaking, and suggested a
more simple approach to addressing the
space constraints would be building onto
the existing facility.
Ultimately, he said such a significant
project would likely take years to bring to
fruition.
Its not really something that is on the
radar, he said.

California governor says crime

measure addresses old mistake
SACRAMENTO California Gov. Jerry
Brown said Monday that the initiative he is
promoting for the November ballot would
help fix a mistake he made nearly 40 years
ago that has sent too many offenders to
prison for decades with little hope of rehabilitation.
The Democratic governor wants voters to
approve a ballot measure that would
increase early release credits for inmates
who complete rehabilitation programs and
allowing earlier parole for nonviolent
felons.

He told criminal justice reform advocates

gathered for a convention in Sacramento
that the initiative would partly reverse the
determinate sentencing system that he
signed into law in 1977 when he was governor the first time. That law largely dictates
criminals prison sentences, leaving little
room for incentives that Brown says can
improve inmates behavior.

Senior housing to be built downtown

MidPen Housing to build 108 units in Redwood City
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

REUTERS FILE PHOTO

The Bay Area Rapid Transit and three of its major unions reached a four-year contract extension
that includes raises and avoids strikes like those that frustrated commuters in 2013, officials
announced Monday.

Bart, unions reach

tentative four-year
contract extensions
By Erin Baldassari
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

Heralding the tentative agreement as a

turning point in BART labor relations,
union leaders and management lauded a proposed worker contract that would stem the
possibility of strikes for the next five
years.
The proposed agreement, which must still
be ratified by union membership and the
BART Board of Directors, would give workers at 10.5 percent pay raise over the next
four years.
It also buys some time for both sides to
negotiate the agencys pension agreement,
which is currently the subject of a lawsuit
between the State of California and the U.S.
Department of Labor.
The remainder of the agreement will
remain the same, said BART General
Manager Grace Crunican.
This is a pivotal moment in BARTs history in labor relations, said Sal Cruz, president of the American Federation of State,
County and Municipal Employees Local
3993. The amount of collaboration it took
to make this happen was tremendous.
BART workers went on strike in July
2013, shutting the system down for several
days over complaints about pay and safety
concerns. A second strike began in October
2013. BART board president Tom
Radulovich said the resulting contract was
not a terrible agreement, but it was a terrible process in getting there.
We really let the Bay Area down,
Radulovich said.
Following the strikes, the BART Board of
Directors hired a consultant to review the
breakdown in negotiations. A subsequent
report, published in September 2014, proposed 31 recommendations to improve
future talks.
BART management and union leaders
began working together roughly two years
ago to address the toughest of the reports
recommendations, said Chris Finn, presi-

dent of the Amalgamated Transit Union

Local 1555. The two sides met in November
for a two-day meeting, which Finn said was
successful in advancing the current contract.
Now was about the time where we had to
decide, are we going to dedicate our
resources to focusing on preparing for
upcoming negotiations in 2017, or are we
going to focus our resources on keeping
BART moving? Finn said.
Crunican said the agreement would ensure
five years of labor peace and would enable
the agency to invest in replacing and repairing the systems aged infrastructure.
The labor agreement comes at a time when
BART has been under fire for system failures, including electrical problems that disabled trains between BARTs Pittsburg/Bay
Point and North Concord/Martinez stations,
causing massive delays and forcing riders
onto shuttles between the two East Bay stations for several weeks.
The BART Board of Directors indicated in
February that the agency plans to pursue a
$3.5 billion bond measure that would be
placed on November ballot. The bond measure is slated for track and station improvements and would not be used to pay for
salary increases for workers, Crunican said.
The bond measure is about capital investment in the system, Crunican said. None
of that money can be used to pay the workers. This will all be paid for on the operating
side of the budget.
Jim Wunderman, president and CEO of the
Bay Area Council, a business-sponsored
advocacy organization, lauded the agreement as a rider-centric move. Crunican
said it would allow the agency to better
focus on repairing and replacing the systems infrastructure.
We use our workers to make those reinvestments, Crunican said. This agreement
will allow us to focus on rebuilding.
The agreement is expected to be ratified
by BART unions and the Board of Directors
in the coming weeks. Once in effect, it will
be in place until 2021.

MidPen Housing will build 108 units of

affordable housing for rent to very lowincome seniors in downtown Redwood City
on parcels the city owns.
The project will be built on four city-owned
parcels adjacent to Redwood Creek between
Main Street and Jefferson Avenue on Bradford
Street and include a publicly accessible park
along the creek.
The City Council approved the deal Monday
night.
I appreciate you treating the creek as an
amenity, Vice Mayor Ian Bain said before the
vote.
The citys former redevelopment agency
purchased two parcels at 707 and 777 Bradford
St. in 2004 and 2006 between two other
parcels the city owned that comprise about an
acre of land.
The design includes a six-story building
with a step down to three stories along the
creek. It will include 103 one-bedroom apartments and five two-bedroom apartments with
one set aside for an onsite community manager, according to a report by Community
Development Director Aaron Aknin.
All units will have private open spaces with
decks or patios.
The citys goal when purchasing the property was to construct affordable housing for seniors and a child care facility.
The city is providing the land and MidPen
will build the project.
After the City Council approved awarding
the Bradford site to MidPen Monday night,
city officials enter into an Exclusive Right to
Negotiate Agreement with the nonprofit
agency to prepare a disposition and development agreement.
An ad-hoc subcommittee picked MidPens
proposal over six other developers for affordability levels, number of units, population
served, a child care component, cost and accel-

erated development schedule.

dining rooms and a barbecue area, according
to Aknins report.
It will include a multipurpose room that can
be used for services such as health screenings
and classes. There will be bicycle parking and
an onsite car share. The project concept
includes one level of at grade parking and one
level underground.
Offsite improvements include the addition
of street lights and trees along Bradford Street.
MidPen builds, manages and maintains

according to the Housing Authority.

convicted of embezzling $800K

A San Mateo County Superior Court judge

sentenced a South San Francisco man who
defrauded would-be investors of around
$800,000 to five years in prison on Friday,
according to prosecutors.
Floro Lorenzo Cruz, 71, pleaded no contest
on Aug. 31 to two counts of felony embezzlement in San Mateo County Superior Court
with enhancements for stealing more than
$200,000 in return for the five-year prison
sentence, prosecutors said.
As part of his sentence, Judge Leland Davis
ordered Cruz to pay nearly $931,000 in restitution to six of his victims, as well as $330
to the states restitution fund.
Police arrested Cruz in 2012 after a yearlong investigation, according to San
Francisco police.
Cruz had posed as an investor, convincing
six different people to give him money for
overseas projects, including power plants
and real estate, according to prosecutors.
The case saw repeated delays, with jury trial

Man pleads not guilty

to 30 burglary charges
A transient man suspected of stealing more
than $500,000 in property from homes in
San Mateo County and the East Bay pleaded
not guilty to more than two dozen burglary
charges Monday, prosecutors said.
Johnny Fobbs, 24, was charged with 30
counts of burglary and two counts of attempted burglary, according to prosecutors.
Because he has already been convicted of two
felonies, he is facing upwards of 25 years to
life for each burglary charge, said San Mateo
County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Fobbs declined a court-appointed lawyer
and instead opted to represent himself,
Wagstaffe said. Fobbs is next scheduled to
appear in court on Tuesday, and a judge will
determine whether he will be able to represent himself in the case.
Between September and January, prosecutors said residents from a number of homes in
San Mateo County reported break-ins. In
each case, prosecutors said the modus
operandi was similar: The suspects broke a
rear sliding glass door and stole guns, jewelry, cash and safes, prosecutors said.
The burglars used gloves, and witnesses
reported seeing several suspects working as a
team, prosecutors said.
Police identified a suspect vehicle and
placed an electronic tracker on the car. On
Jan. 21, police tracked the car from the East
Bay to San Carlos, where prosecutors said
another home was burglarized using the same
method as seen in the earlier burglaries.
Fobbs co-conspirators have been identified, prosecutors said, but they are not yet in
custody.
Fobbs is being held on $10 million bail. A
preliminary hearing was scheduled for April
22.

Sanders lags in delegates

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Bernie Sanders is

Republican presidential rivals a lot
of people actually like him.
By 48 percent to 39 percent, more
Americans have a favorable than an

also reflect just how

of the field is.
But the growing popularity may be
coming too late for Sanders, who lags
behind Democratic front-runner
Hillary Clinton, with time running out
in the primary campaign.
After winning the Democratic caucuses in Wyoming on Saturday,

Sanders has now won seven of the past

eight state contests. Still, to win the
Democratic nomination, he must take
68 percent of the remaining delegates
and uncommitted superdelegates,
which would require a sudden burst of
blowout victories.
I just like everything that he talks
about and that he wants to do, said
Brian Cane, 54, of Spokane,
Washington. I think Hillary, shes

Sanders is fresh and new and the
Republicans are freaking idiots.
Still, Cane echoed the sentiments of
many Democrats, saying that if
Clinton wins the primary, Yeah, Ill
vote for her.

WASHINGTON In an early general

including immigration, health care and

In coming months, users of Facebooks Messenger app,

automated assistants offering information and services at a
variety of businesses. These messaging chatbots are basically software that can conduct human-like conversation and
do simple jobs once reserved for people. Google and other

In Asia, software butlers are already part of the landscape.

Reprieve for NASAs

planet-hunting Kepler spacecraft
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. To astronomers relief,
NASAs planet-hunting Kepler spacecraft has won another
reprieve.
The spacecraft responsible for detecting thousands of
planets beyond our solar system slipped into emergency
mode last week nearly 75 million miles from Earth. Ground
controllers managed to stabilize the probe Sunday, and
NASA announced the good news Monday.
Engineers still dont know what went wrong and will study
incoming data for clues. They also want to be certain the
spacecraft is healthy enough to resume observations. The
trouble occurred right before Kepler was to be pointed toward
the center of the Milky Way for a new kind of planet-searching campaign.
This isnt the first time the 7-year-old Kepler has cheated
death. Controllers managed to keep the spacecraft working a
few years ago, despite repeated breakdowns. But Kepler had
never suffered an emergency like this before last week.

About a hundred activists in wheelchairs lined up along
bike racks that form a secondary perimeter around the White
House fence. They chanted our homes, not nursing homes
and disability rights are human rights.
No arrests were made and the citations were issued for
blocking the sidewalk, said Sgt. Anna Rose, a spokeswoman for the Park Police. Police issued warnings in
advance of issuing the citations, giving the protesters an

Ash Carter: Iraq politics wont

By Lolita C. Balador

MORMUGAO PORT TRUST, India

Defense Secretary Ash Carter said Monday
that struggles within the Iraq government
wont stall the U.S. military campaign to
beef up the fight against Islamic State militants in the country.
He said he expects the U.S. to ask other
Persian Gulf nations next week to help in a
broader effort to rebuild Iraq once the
Islamic State group is defeated. President
Barack Obama and other top U.S. officials
are expected to attend the U. S. -Gulf
Cooperation Council Leaders Summit
next week in Saudi Arabia.
Economically, its important that the
destruction thats occurred be repaired and
were looking to help the Iraqis with that,
Carter said during a visit to the USS Blue
Ridge, the U.S. Navys command ship for
the Asia Pacific. He added that the reconstruction will be a global effort.
I believe that will be one of the things

that the president will

want to raise with the

that economic issue, he
said.

he does not expect

To Relieve Your Daily Anxiety

DAMASCUS, Syria Islamic State militants recaptured a vital border crossing in

northern Syria and shot down a government
warplane in the countrys west Monday as
the U.N.s special envoy urged the warring
parties to respect a fragile cease-fire ahead
of peace talks set to resume in Geneva this
week.
U.N. Special Envoy Staffan de Misturas
plea came amid stepped up fighting around
the northern city of Aleppo, Syrias largest,
and elsewhere in the countrys northern and
western provinces.
He spoke after meeting with Syrian
Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem in
Damascus in preparation for the talks, set to
begin Wednesday in Geneva between the
government and an umbrella opposition
coalition backed by the U.S., Saudi Arabia,
and other Western powers.
De Mistura said he emphasized the importance of protecting and maintaining and
supporting the cessation of hostilities,
describing it as fragile and stressing that all
sides need to make sure that it continues to
be sustained.
The U.N. envoy said the talks would focus
on a political transition for Syria, where the
civil war, now in its sixth year, has killed

250,000 people and displaced half the countrys pre-war population of 23 million people. About 4 million people have fled the
country.
We will be focusing in particular on
political transition, on governance and
constitutional principles, de Mistura said.
We hope and plan to make them constructive ... and concrete.
Al-Moallem called for a dialogue without
preconditions, a reference to opposition
demands that President Bashar Assad step
down and be excluded from any transitional
government. He said the government delegation would arrive Friday, two days after
parliamentary elections are to be held in
Syria. The vote expected to be a rubber
stamp of Assad loyalists will only take
place in government-controlled areas as the
Damascus authorities are unable to organize
any balloting in territory under rebel or
Islamic State control.
Meanwhile, opposition activists reported
clashes and government air raids near
Aleppo, where rebel factions alongside alQaidas Syria affiliate, the Nusra Front,
seized territory from the government earlier
this month.
Russias military announced Monday it
would help the Syrian army battle back the
Nusra Front, but there is no plan to storm
Aleppo.

The difference an ice rink makes

By Billy Kheir

ome people look at an ice

rink and see a sheet of ice,
but a rink is so much more
than just that. Its a vibrant forum
for personal development that has
benefits reaching into the community at large. A rink is a place where
kids learn the value of teamwork,
expand their social circles, gain
self-confidence things that will
last a lifetime and make our community a better place to live. Sadly, the
number of ice rinks on the Peninsula
is dwindling. Reopening the
Bridgepointe ice rink should be a
top priority for the city of San
Mateo.
Over the years, I have witnessed
firsthand the many benefits ice skating bring to the people of San
Mateo County. Im a professional
skating instructor and have been
coaching on the Peninsula for more
than 16 years. My clients range
from competitive figure skaters to
students with social, cognitive and
physical challenges. My dedication
to the sport of ice skating has made
it possible for me to make a living
and to be part of a community I cherish so much.
Ice rinks provide a sense of community, offer opportunities for
healthy recreational activities like
hockey and figure skating, and provide venues for events like birthday
parties and community groups. The
world of ice skating is far greater
than what the average person may
think. Its a combination of different
spheres that connect on a human
level. Having worked in rinks all
these years, I get to see behind the
scenes. At a rink, kids experience a
world like no other and develop relationships with other kids and families across the Bay Area, while
adults rediscover their inner child in
a world where work is otherwise allconsuming. Rinks are truly mar-

velous places.
They also touch
us in more ways
than youd ever
expect. The reason
is that skills
gained on the ice
are carried off the
ice and into everyday life, where
they affect the community at large.
Maybe you were impressed with a
young man who pitched in once
without being asked. He could have
been a youth hockey player whos
learned that no goals are possible
without assists. Or maybe you were
surprised when someone in a wheelchair flashed a big smile at you for
no reason. She could have been one
of my students experiencing a newfound sense of confidence from her
skating lesson. An ice rink makes
your day better, even if you dont
skate.
I see the difference in kids when
they come for their first lesson compared to later on, after theyve had
some time on the ice. It has to do
with so much more than just skating
skills. Whether they are budding figure skaters or kids with challenges,
these kids are flourishing. Arent
these the kind of kids we want in our
community? The future of San Mateo
is in their hands.
I currently work at the Belmont
Iceland rink, which will close permanently at the end of this month.
Come May 1, the only remaining
rink on the Peninsula will be located
in Redwood City. Unfortunately, its
already at capacity and cannot
absorb the multiple skating groups,
hockey teams, figure skaters, speed
skaters and weekly birthday and corporate parties from Belmont. There
are already so many kids who
stopped skating when Bridgepointe
closed, now there will be even more.
A whole way of life is collapsing
here right before our eyes.

Guest
perspective
Meanwhile, San Mateo County is
growing exponentially. Will our
cities be nothing but places where
people work and sleep with no quality of life? I hope not.
It is absolutely critical that the
Bridgepointe ice rink be reopened
ASAP. Reopening it will restore
some very important things we lost
when it was closed: access to
healthy recreational alternatives and
a stronger sense of community for
thousands of families. If reopened,
the Bridgepointe ice rink could once
again provide a safe outlet for teens,
a forum for athletic development and
cultivation of team spirit, a costeffective activity for all regardless
of family income, a source of local
pride and more community spirit.
With my personal experience on the
ice all these years, I can guarantee
you all these benefits of an ice rink
are very, very real.
The hazards of not having one,
unfortunately, are just as real ...
wasted human potential, diminished
public health, kids at risk and far
less pride in being a member of a
community that starves us of whats
really important in life.
Its rare for a problem and its solution to exist simultaneously, but in
this case, it does. Bridgepointe is a
jewel thats already in place. It just
needs to be put back into service. I
urge the city not to lose this opportunity, and reopen the rink ASAP.

But for those still on the launch pad,

skating is a great way to grow.
Skating is not easy, but the injury
rate is vastly lower than in most
sports, and one still ends up with a
core-based athleticism that applies to
any activity. Add the mysteries of
centrifugal force and, as grit is not
enough, the skater learns to embrace
the painstaking and counter-intuitive.
No wonder skaters, especially gure
skaters, do well in school.

Dear legislators: Please

respect the taxpayers

asten your seat belt, ladies and gentlemen. Tax day

is upon us. Many of you are probably aware that
the Internal Revenue Service tax filing deadline
falls on or around April 15 of each year, exactly one day
after my day of birth.
As a staunch fiscal conservative, you can imagine the
bittersweet frustration I feel each year as both holidays reemerge in my life. I have always enjoyed celebrating my
birthday not for the presents or the wishes of good will
but because it provides me with the opportunity to
reflect on the year behind me, the year before me and the
chance to spend time with the friends and family I treasure
more than anything else in life.
Sadly, I am reminded at this
time each year that my loved
ones are being taxed more than
ever by the IRS, an agency that
has recently betrayed the trust
of our hardworking taxpayers. I
am also reminded our tax code is
broken and that regardless of
how much our elected officials
increase our taxes, they will
continue to spend money they
do not have. The combined
results are bankrupting our
Jonathan Madison
future and we must ensure better
accountability across the board
by our elected officials. Allow me to elaborate.
In May 2013, the IRS acknowledged that it had selectively targeted nonprofit conservative advocacy groups
applying for tax-exempt status based on key buzzwords in
their title, such as tea party, patriot and Israel, for
rigorous review.
You probably recall the outrage that resulted from this
flagrant abuse of power, from conservative groups,
Congress and all the way to the Oval Office. In response,
the Department of Justice conducted a thorough review of
IRS records in the months that followed, but high level
officials such as Lois Lerner ultimately escaped the scales
of justice by shredding evidence, dodging questions from
Congress and avoiding the media spotlight. This is just
one example of many where the IRS fundamentally abused
our taxpayer funding and directly invaded our privacy on a
national scale. This is unacceptable.
Like most federal agencies, the IRS is required to submit
a budget proposal to Congress each year. As you might
imagine, the IRS, an organization that exists to file a portion of your earnings to be redistributed throughout the
federal governments ever growing purse, is always in
want of more congressionally allocated funds to perform
its everyday operations effectively.
This year is no exception the IRS is requesting $13.2
billion, which is nearly $3 million above their approved
funding levels for the current year. In 2014, IRS
Commissioner John Koskinen had the gall to defend a
budget increase, telling the National Press Club that his
agency is only answering 43 percent of customer calls.
That means the IRS is ignoring nearly 60 percent of your
calls. My verdict when hearing an excuse like that:
replace the senior leadership at the troubled agency with
personnel who will truly put taxpayers first, rather than
simply throwing more of our hard-earned tax dollars at the
problem.
Many elected officials have argued that we ought to
abolish the agency entirely. I am not one of them. Having
said that, I am a strong proponent of a simpler, fairer tax
code that will help our individuals find meaningful work
and will allow American businesses to dominate foreign
competitors. Tax reform is not an easy issue to explain,
much less solve, but we must encourage our elected leaders
to fix our broken system.
In the short term, I would encourage each of you to carefully examine the taxes that are stripped from your paycheck each year when tax season comes around. It is my
personal belief that my taxes far exceed the benefits in my
daily life, particularly when they are used to fund agencies
such as the IRS that have time and again betrayed our collective trust as taxpayers. I will note that our state is currently ranked first in the country when it comes to statelevel rates at 7.5 percent, but is over $778 billion in state
debt. In addition, our countrys national debt has continued to climb to over $18 trillion.
Beyond these astonishing numbers, we must be mindful
that most hardworking Americans at every end of the
socioeconomic spectrum are being taxed relentlessly
from the wealthy businessman to the single mother working two or three jobs to make ends meet for her children.
We cannot lose sight of the fact that every dollar taxed is
one that affects each and every one of us. As such, we
should rightfully demand prudence by our elected officials
with regard to taxing our hard-earned dollar.

Jacob Lew: U.S. retreat from global

economic stage would be mistake
By Martin Crutsinger
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Treasury
Secretary Jacob Lew said Monday
that Americans have reaped significant benefits from the international
architecture put in place after World
War II and the United States would
be making a serious mistake to
retreat from its global leadership
role.
In a speech before the Council on
Foreign Relations, Lew sought to
counter arguments being advanced
by Donald Trump and other
Republican presidential candidates

that Americans
are losing badly
in competition
with China and
other countries
in the global
economy.
Lew said that
the
United
States needs to
Jacob Lew
embrace new
players on the
global economic stage and make
sure they meet the standards of the
trading system that the country
helped create.
The worst possible outcome

would be to step away from our leadership role and let others fill in
behind us, he said.
Lews comments came in advance
of global finance meetings later
this week. Lew and Federal Reserve
Secretary Janet Yellen will hold discussions with the Group of 20
major economies on Friday in
advance of the spring meetings of
the International Monetary Fund
and the World Bank.
Yellen was scheduled to meet later
Monday at the White House with
President Barack Obama to give the
president an update on the U.S. and
global economy.

U.S., Goldman Sachs reach $5B settlement over risky mortgages

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Justice

Department on Monday announced
a roughly $5 billion settlement
with Goldman Sachs over the sale
of mortgage-backed securities
leading up to the 2008 financial
crisis. The government accused the
bank of misleading investors
about the quality of its loans.

The $5.06 billion deal resolves

state and federal probes into the
sale of shoddy mortgages in the
run-up to the housing bubble and
subsequent economic meltdown.
It requires the bank to pay a
$2.39 billion civil penalty and an
additional $1.8 billion in relief to
underwater homeowners and distressed borrowers, along with

$875 million in other claims.

This resolution holds Goldman
Sachs accountable for its serious
misconduct in falsely assuring
investors that securities it sold
were backed by sound mortgages,
when it knew that they were full of
mortgages that were likely to fail,
Acting Associate Attorney General
Stuart Delery said in a statement.

Researchers: Newer
type of ransomware
is harbinger of danger
WASHINGTON An unusual
strain of virus-like hacker software that exploits computer server
vulnerabilities without requiring human interaction is a leading example of a new generation
of ransomware, according to a
new report by Cisco Systems Inc.
Hackers use such software to target large-scale networks and hold
data hostage in exchange for bigger payments. Such a strain,
known as Samas or samsam, hit
the MedStar Health Inc. hospital
chain last month.
In such attacks, hackers target
backup files and records, encrypting them to make them an unreadable gobbledygook of characters.
To regain access, users without
additional safe backups who dont
want to lose critical files often
pay the ransom, typically
$10,000 to $15,000 for an entire
network or hundreds to a thousand
or so dollars for a single computer.

Some investors have said they

are looking to set aside this quarters earnings results. Since many
believe the price of oil has found a
bottom, there is hope that earnings later this year will make up
for the first quarters expected dismal performance.
There are signs we could see
positive U.S. earnings surprises
later this year, driven by a stabilization in oil prices and a halt in
the U.S. dollars rise, Richard
Turnill, global chief investment
strategist for BlackRock, wrote in
a note to investors.
Overseas,
investors
were
encouraged by economic data out

Curry is setting standard on and off the court

By Janie McCauley

OAKLAND For years, Stephen Curry

watched his dad, Dell, do his part in the
community. Curry was often among those
children in Charlotte treated to special
appearances from star athletes and still
cherishes those sweet memories.
Thats how I grew up, Curry said. I
was blessed to see my dad and how he
interacted with kids my age at the time. He

was going to youth

camps and different
school events. I know
how happy me and my
friends were at that age
to see somebody we
looked up to come and
spend some time. I
dont want to take those
Steph Curry opportunities for granted, no matter what the

that event. Thats a time for them.

he had the day off, Curry spent several hours

HMBs Faust hitting stride

Athlete of the Week

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Half Moon Bay senior Graham Faust turned

in his finest performance of the season
Saturday in the Don Bell Quicksilver Classic
at San Joses Leland High School.
A four-year varsity track-and-field standout
with the Cougars, Faust who verbally
committed Monday night to run at the
Division-I program at UC Santa Barbara
cemented a new personal record in the 1,600
meter, taking third place with a time of 4
minutes, 29.84 seconds. He followed that up
later in the day with a first-place finish in the
3,200 with a time of 9:50.83.
With the Cougars competing in the
Quicksilver Classic for the first time in 10
years, Fausts output led the HMB boys to a
third-place team finish. Of the teams 32
total points, Faust earned half of them with
16 points, a feat which has earned him Daily
Journal Athlete of the Week honors.
I think this was probably one of the best
meets I had this season, Faust said. I did
have a better time in the [3,200] a couple
weeks ago. But overall I think this was the
best meet for me.
Despite taking home gold in the 3,200,
Faust said his personal record in the 1,600
was the highlight of his day. It was a long
day at that, with approximately five hours
between races. But the buzz Faust enjoyed
after the hotly contested finish in the 1,600
was enough to carry him throughout the
afternoon.
Faust stayed with the front of the pack
throughout the race, and as they made the
final turn of the bell lap, four of the runners
separated from the group. Then through the
final lap, the sprint for the finish line with
Aptos senior Patrick Olson, Pioneer senior
Alex Liebscher and Westmont junior Julian
Adam helped Faust to take it to another level,
holding off Adam in a close finish to claim
third place.
I had to sprint, Faust said. I think I outkicked a guy and I had to make sure no one
was going to outkick me at the very end.
The seniors previous personal record
came last season at Pacific Grove, when he

Golden State set yet another record in a season full of them this time for the best
regular-season home winning streak ever at

Tough decision
but absolutely
right decision

riday night following the San

Francisco Giants improbable 3-2
win over the Los Angeles
Dodgers, all the talk on sports radio was
whether or not Dodgers manager Dave
Roberts made the right call in lifting a
rookie pitcher while throwing a no-hitter
in the eighth inning.
For those who havent heard, L.A. sent
Ross Stripling to mound to make his rst
big-league start. Stripling is coming off
Tommy John elbow surgery and pitched
in fewer than 100
innings at Double
A last season.
Of course, you
should know the
rest. Karma came
back to bite the
Dodgers. After
Stripling issued a
leadoff walk,
Roberts replaced
him with Chris
Hatcher to face
Giants backup
catcher Trevor Brown, who, on a 3-1 pitch,
launched a game-tying, two-run home run
to break up the no-no with authority.
The Giants would go on to walk off
with the win when Brandon Crawford hit
a 10th inning bomb.
Many of the callers I heard were roasting Roberts, but most real baseball fans
know it was the right thing to do and the
pitch count had little to do with it.
Stripling is coming off major elbow
surgery, had never made a start in a Major
League game and never even threw more
than 80 pitches in spring training. Im
sure he had already reached his prescribed
pitch count, but was left out there because
he was pitching a no-hitter. He was looking at, at least, another 30-40 pitches to
nish off the complete game. For a rookie coming off elbow surgery? You got to
make that move.

Sharks look get past 13 playoff collapse vs. Kings

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN JOSE After a one-year hiatus, the

San Jose Sharks are back in the postseason
against the team that knocked them out on
their past two trips to the playoffs.
The Sharks arent looking to use a third
shot at the Los Angeles Kings as extra motivation heading into their first-round series.
I really dont think you think about that to
be honest with you, center Joe Thornton said.
Its two years ago. A lot of things have happened in two years. This is 2016 Sharks versus
Kings. Thats how I look at it personally.

This is a new season. We have 10 new

players, new coaches. They have new players as well. Its a new
start, a new season and were writing our own season right now.
Marc-Edouard-Vlasic, San Jose Sharks defenseman

While outsiders are focusing on those two

seven-game series that went Los Angeles
way, the Sharks are doing their best to forget them. They lost a tightly contested second-round series in 2013 that featured the
home team winning every game.
The following years loss was much more
painful as the Sharks became just the fourth

NHL team to lose a best-of-seven series

after winning the first three games. The
cloud from that defeat lingered throughout
last season as San Jose missed the playoffs
for the first time since 2003 and parted ways
with coach Todd McLellan.
That was really a long time ago, said
defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic, who got

hurt in Game 5 in 2014. I dont remember

much. This is a new season. We have 10
new players, new coaches. They have new
players as well. Its a new start, a new season and were writing our own season right
now.
While the Sharks have changed half their
roster and brought on a new coaching staff
led by Peter DeBoer and the Kings have
made several changes as well, the main
characters in the series will be familiar
ones.
Los Angeles is once again led by centers

thing Ive had in 10

Faust is at the top of the class though,
having worked his way up since his days as
an underclassman running in the shadows of
HMB great Logan Marshall. When Marshall
was a senior in 2014 he now runs the
steeple chase at Cal Poly he claimed the
Peninsula Athletic League championship in
the 3,200. According to Faust, all anyone
who ran for the 2014 Cougars team wanted

was to run like Marshall.

He was someone to really look up to,
Faust said. He was really dedicated to running. Everybody wanted to be as good as
Logan and everybody strived to be as fast as
he was.
Faust has a chance to finish his career in
the same class as Marshall, meaning he
would be one of the best runners HMB has
seen during Farnsworths tenure, along with
2012 graduate Mitch Martin.

Trout goes large as Angels top As

By Rick Eymer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Oakland righthander Sonny Gray thought he

threw a good sinker to Mike Trout
in the sixth inning. The pitch
ended up somewhere beyond the
center field fence.
Gray coasted through five scoreless innings before running into
trouble against the top of the
Angels order, and it cost the
Athletics.
Trout hit his first home run of
the season, Gray allowed three
runs in 6 1/3 innings and the As
fell to the Los Angeles Angels 4-1
on Monday night.
Trout struck out looking twice
but homered on the first pitch he
saw from Gray in the sixth, a towering two-run shot that ricocheted
off the right side of the bleachers
just below the luxury suites in leftcenter field.
When I threw it, I thought it
was a good sinker, but it sunk a little too much and went right to his
barrel, Gray said. You can make
good pitches and guys like Trout
can do some damage for sure.
As manager Bob Melvin said
there are only a handful of hitters
who can handle a pitch like that.
For anybody else thats not a
bad pitch, Melvin said. Trout
likes it down and in and he usually
takes the first pitch except in certain situations and against certain
pitchers. Most guys roll over that.
He doesnt.
Gray (1-1) was sharp in his second outing but lost for just the
second time in 12 April starts. He
struck out six and walked three.

Angels 4, As 1
Three pitches didnt go our
way and they
capitalized, big
time,
Gray
said. My stuff
was really good
Mike Trout
but it was three
pitches
and
they score three
runs.
Trouts at-bat
impressed As
catcher Stephen
Vogt.
Its ridiculous what hes
able to do with
Sonny Gray
that,
Vogt
said. I mean, the movement on
that pitch alone gets most people
to extend on it. But he kept his
hands inside because thats just
what Mike Trout does. The location wasnt terrible, but to Trout
thats not where you want the
ball.
Nick Tropeano pitched five
scoreless innings in his season
debut, and Daniel Nava and C.J.
Cron added RBI singles to help the
Angels win their second straight
following a 1-4 start.
Marcus Semien singled in
Oaklands lone run in the ninth.

Doubront to have TJ surgery

Felix Doubront, projected to be
Oaklands No. 5 starter, will have
Tommy John surgery Tuesday to
repair a torn elbow ligament.
Felix made his mark here and I
think he found a home for himself

based on what he did last year, the

versatility he brings us in any particular role we put him in, As
manager Bob Melvin said. I feel
bad for him.

Power puff
Melvin didnt sound too concerned about Khris Davis slow
start at the plate. Davis went into
the game batting .174 with 13
strikeouts in 23 at-bats before
going 1 for 4 against the Angels.
You watch his batting practice,
he hits the ball the other way
almost every pitch, Melvin said.
The strikeouts probably stand out
with him right now but I think
hell be fine.

Trainers room
Coco Crisp made his third consecutive start in center but is likely to rest Tuesday. Crisp played in
only 44 games in 2015 due to
neck issues. ... Chris Coghlan was
Oaklands DH, his fifth straight
start at a different position.
Coghlan started at second base,
right field, left field and third base
in his previous four games.

Up next
Angels left-hander Hector
Santiago (0-0) faces the As in the
second game of the series Tuesday
night. Santiago has a 3.14 ERA in
11 games against Oakland. Righthander Kendall Graveman (0-1)
goes for the As hoping to end a
six-game losing streak, longest
by an Oakland pitcher since 2012.

LeBron embraces CURRY

Warriors 72-win
accomplishment
Continued from page 11

By Tom Withers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio Like just about

every fan, LeBron James is impressed by
Golden States golden run to 72 wins.
The Cavaliers star said Monday he appreciates what the Warriors have done in
matching the NBA record
for regular-season wins
set by Michael Jordan
and the 1995-96 Chicago
Bulls. Golden State (729) can break the mark
with a win Wednesday
against Memphis.
I can say that I actually
got to witness some
LeBron James
history, James said following shootaround as the Cavs prepared to
play the Atlanta Hawks.
James was 11 and idolizing Jordan when
he and the Bulls set a record some thought
untouchable.
I remember the 95-96 team, but I wasnt
watching every game, wasnt fortunate
enough to watch every game, said James,
who lost twice to the Warriors this season.
So, I knew about it. I kind of watched the
Bulls from afar but to actually be in the
league now while theyre setting this
record, have the opportunity to set this
record, it would be something I can talk
about later in life.
The Warriors tied Chicagos hallowed
record Sunday night with a 92-86 at San
Antonio, which rested All-Star center Tim
Duncan. The historic win also ended Golden
States 33-game losing skid in San
Antonio, a skid stretching back to 1997.

45 games. In the middle of playing five

games in seven days, no less.
Curry won the NBA Seasonlong
Community Assist Award for 2013-14 and
is a regular participant for the Make-A-Wish
Foundation. Not to mention that for every
3-pointer he makes Curry donates three bed
nets to fight Malaria through Nothing But
Nets. He has an NBA-record 392 3s so far
this season.
Hat on backward and wearing a big smile
that afternoon in inner-city Oakland, the
reigning NBA MVP likely headed for
another such honor pumped his right fist
when someone gave a good answer to a trivia question, he waved and high-fived while
making his entrance, and even chanted
along when appropriate.
Sometimes, the Warriors worry just a bit
about their do-everything point guard
overextending himself.
It doesnt surprise me, coach Steve Kerr
said. He genuinely cares. Sometimes he

The teams will be meeting in the playoffs for
the fourth time in the past six seasons, with

and the Kings taking the last two meetings.

does too much stuff, we try to pull him back,

pull the reins back because everyone wants a
piece of him and he has a hard time saying
no.
Among giggling, giddy children, Curry is
clearly in his other element, off the basketball floor where he is the most dynamic
player now and in recent memory.
Even if all those old greats out there want
to knock him down a notch, knock his
game, or the overall style of play of the
Warriors and others in this era of the NBA.
The scrutiny is part of it, Curry insists. It
means hes doing something special.
When its talking just about basketball, I
know any time theres a successful player or
team, theyre going to have more of a spotlight, and people are going to ask questions
about whoever it is, Curry said. This day
and age, you say something controversial
and its going to hit the airways pretty
quick. When there are legends and people
that I looked up to as a player as a young
kid, as a basketball player Hall of Famers
and guys that talk about our team, it means
that obviously were doing something good
so we keep doing it. I take it with a grain of
salt. Unless theyre in the room with me and
were talking back and forth about whats

going on, then I dont put too much weight

into it.

tric, both buildings are

tough to play in. Theyre
just fantastic games to be a
part of.
Thornton is one of 10
players left on San Jose
who played in that series
two years ago. The team
made plenty of changes
Joe Thornton this past offseason, acquiring Martin Jones as the
new starting goalie, defenseman Paul Martin
and forwards Joel Ward and Joonas Donskoi.
In-season additions of Dainius Zubrus, Nick
Spaling, Roman Polak and James Reimer have
only added more depth as the Sharks now have
four capable lines to match up with Los
Angeles deep roster and three pairs of defensemen that DeBoer trusts.
The newcomers also provide a new feeling in

the dressing room for a franchise that has had

plenty of regular season success but is still
seeking its first trip to the Stanley Cup finals.

Especially considering everybody wants

to be like Steph. Remember when it was Be
Like Mike? (Michael Jordan, that is).
Its so interesting when they talk about
creating a simulator to duplicate what Steph
Curry does on the court and the simulator
cant measure up because it just doesnt look
real, Hall of Famer Julius Erving said.
Thats what hes been doing on the court,
things that really dont look real to the normal eye, and you have to give him kudos for
that.
Sure, Curry sometimes gets tired from all
of the fanfare and the NBA grind. Not to
mention the typical lack of sleep for a father
with two young girls.
The schedules crazy and obviously were
right in the middle of the season, so there
are times where you might wake up and not
want to get out of bed or whatever, but it is
helpful to remember how I felt as a kid and
the stuff my dad taught me, and be reminded
the importance of the stage and the platform
we have, he said. I want to use it.

You dont really worry about whats happened in the past, Pavelski said. Theres a
lot of new faces in here. I think weve got 10
or so guys that are different from that team,
and youd be cheating them if you let it bother you. So you only take whats going to
help you in this situation and you apply it to
your game now. We have a different identity
in a lot of ways.
Now they hope that new identity leads to different results.
No tes : Vlasic (lower body) and F Matt
Nieto (hand) practiced and should be good
to go for the opener on Thursday. Both
players missed the final 12 games of the

No new bowls for 3 years as NCAA approves moratorium

By Ralph D. Russo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The NCAA is prohibiting the creation of new bowl games

for the next three years after three teams with 5-7 records
were needed to fill the record number of bowls last season.
The NCAAs football oversight committee last week
recommended a three-year moratorium on sanctioning
new postseason games and it was approved by the
Division I Council. The oversight committee started a
task force to study the Bowl Subdivision postseason
after there was not enough six-win, bowl-eligible teams

LOUNGE
Continued from page 11
Truth be told, Im not sure many managers would have
done anything differently with an established veteran. The
rst start of the season is not the time to tax an arm. If it was
any other start to the season second, third, seventh
then by all means, let the kid go for it.
But rst start of the season? Prudence was the better part of
valor.
***
Browns homer off Hatcher was the second time that day I
saw a manager make a questionable move and see it backre.
The Sacred Heart Cathedral baseball team had a similar situation in its game against Serra but, unlike the Dodgers, the
Irish rallied to beat the Padres 3-1.
SHC lefty starter Justin Choy was cruising. He had allowed
only one clean single through his rst ve innings and,
when the Irish scratched out a run in the top of the fth, it
appeared that might be enough for Choy to earn the win.
After Choy got the rst out of the bottom of the fth
inning, the SHC manager, surprisingly, gave Choy the
hook. Serras Ryan Sambel greeted the reliever with a towering shot over the netting in left eld to tie the game at 1.
The SHC bullpen, however, got the nal laugh, as two
relievers combined to retire the nal ve Serra batters in a
row.
***
As a golfer who plays once or twice a year, there are two
things I stand by: One, at least once a round, youll hit a
shot so pure it makes you want to keep playing this maddening game. Two, golf is one of the few sports in which you
could actually have a game like a pro and not necessarily
in a good way.
Jordan Spieths meltdown at No. 12 at the Masters Sunday
made every weekend hack like myself say: Heck, I could do
that.
Spieth, who had a ve-shot lead with just seven holes to
play, inexplicably nished with a 4-over 7 on the par-3 12th
hole. The ability to avoid those kind mistakes are what separates a professional golfers from the masses, and its nice to
see a guy who makes tens of millions of dollars struggle on
the golf course like tens of millions of amateurs do across
the globe. For a few minutes, there was a certain amount of
schadenfreude watching the worlds No. 2 player look like
me playing a par-3 near water.

last season to fill the 40 games.

The committee, led by Big 12 Commissioner Bob
Bowlsby, will deliver a full set of recommendations on
reforming the postseason in June, including determining
what should qualify as a deserving team and how a 5-7 team
should be placed in a bowl if necessary.
Historical data of deserving teams criteria showed that
adding more bowls would cause the NCAA to have to dip
into the alternate 5-7 teams, as it did last season, Division
I Council chairman and Northwestern athletic director Jim
Phillips told the AP in a text message on Monday. The new
postseason structure, when it is complete, will allow for

existing and new bowls to compete for deserving teams as

that criteria is developed.
Three cities Austin, Texas; Charleston, South
Carolina; and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina were in the
process of trying to gain approval for new bowl games.
ESPN.com was first to report the moratorium.
Many bowl games are entering the third year of six-year
contracts with their conference partners. Letting bowls go
dark if there are not enough teams with at least six wins and
a .500 record at the end of the regular season is not a realistic option. The first priority for the oversight committee is
to come up with guidelines for choosing 5-7 teams.

And by the way, if Spieths 12th hole would have been in a

high school match, he would have nished with six and then
picked up. In high school golf, at least in the Peninsula
Athletic League, once a player shoots double over par, they
pick up and move to the next hole.
But dont worry about Spieth. The 22-year-old will be ne.
Hes already won a couple majors and he will win many
more. He has a chance to become one of the all-time greats.
But what Sundays debacle does for him is gives him one of
those touchstones sports fans will never forget. In 20 years,
Spieth will be known as the guy who won several majors but
shot a 7 on a par-3 to lose the Masters on Sunday.
Absolutely no shame in that. Spieth now joins the likes of

Greg Norman and Scott Hoch good golfers who had epic
collapses on Sunday. Norman famously watched his shot to
win the Masters sink to the bottom of Raes Creek in 1996,
while Hoch instantly became known as Scott Choke after
missing a two-foot putt that would have given him the 1989
Masters.
Augusta National is one of the toughest courses in the
world. The fact a golfer had a bad hole should not be surprising professional or not.

Snider, founder
of Philadelphia
Flyers, dies at 83
By Dan Gelston
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHILADELPHIA Ed Snider was

weakened by cancer, the disease
that kept him from his beloved
Philadelphia Flyers.
General manager Ron Hextall
went to Sniders home in
California in December before a
scouting trip, watching what
would be their last Flyers game
together on TV.
The St. Louis Blues led 3-0 in the
second period, souring the mood.
Snider high-fived Hextall,
though, when the Flyers scored
one goal, then two and three.
Snider, the Philadelphia Flyers
founder whose Bullies became the
first expansion team to win the
Stanley Cup, died Monday after a
two-year battle with bladder cancer. He was 83.
With Snider ailing, the Flyers
clinched a playoff spot Saturday
and dedicated the playoff push to
him.
Philadelphia

Washington in the first round.
Snider watched Lauren Hart sing
God Bless America on FaceTime
as the teams longtime anthem
singer held out her phone during
her performance. She blew kisses
after the song.
He is the Philadelphia Flyers,
captain Claude Giroux said Monday.

MLB brief
Dugan caught five foul balls in the
first eight innings. Dugan, who gave
all five to nearby kids, was sitting
behind home plate, in an area normally used for fans in wheelchairs.
With a small crowd on a chilly
afternoon, he took advantage of the
extra space to catch three pop-ups
all on the fly and snare two ricochets off the facing of the press box.

JAMES
Continued from page 14
It would be understandable if James harbored some resentment toward the Warriors. After all, Golden State denied James
a third league title by beating the Cavs in last years Finals.
James, though, expressed admiration of the accomplishment.
While there has been some debate as whether Golden State
has been too focused on the wins record, James feels theyve
handled the pursuit properly.
I feel like theyve . just played their game. You cant fault
anyone for winning and then say, Oh, they were tired because
they lost late. You dont get that opportunity if you dont
win, he said. You dont even get the opportunity to play for
a championship if you dont win. ... I dont think theyre worried about being tired at this point.

HOUSING
Continued from page 1
ting it on the ballot is a good idea, because
we cant reach a consensus, Lim said, noting Oakland passed a moratorium on rent
increases last week. But we cant ignore
the issue and its a regional issue.
While nearly all agreed promoting new
construction is key to addressing the affordable housing crisis, the council did not pass
emergency measures that would have immediately instituted rent control, just cause
eviction ordinances or relocation assistance.
San Mateos robust relocation assistance
proposal would have required landlords to
pay tenants six months worth of the areas
median rent for a similar size unit if they
evicted tenants without just cause or give
steep rent increases of 10 percent or more.
The city attorney said the measure was not
an explicit form of rent control as defined
by state law and could be applied to singlefamily homes as well as condominiums if
the council had so chosen.
But after taking hours of public comment,
the council ultimately decided not to proceed with the temporary measure that was
proposed as a way to prevent those from
preemptively raising rents while the council considered longer-term solutions.
Councilmembers expressed concern the
ordinance was too broad as proposed and no
one motioned a vote before the meeting was
suddenly cut short as landlords proceeded to
walk out.

pruning ACA exchange business

Unlike the meeting a week earlier wherein

hundreds flooded City Hall with those both
opposing and supporting tenant protection
measures well represented, Mondays meeting was largely dominated by landlords or
real estate representatives.
This proposal takes from one group and
gives to another; taking rights from one
group and giving it to another. Those who
lose rights will be forced to litigate this in
court. It does nothing to alleviate the problem. It is poor public policy and I urge you
to reject it, said Richard Delaney, who
manages properties in San Mateo.
Judy De Alba and other landlords questioned the necessity of tenant protection
measures arguing this is a sledge hammer
approach to a temporary crisis.
Others threatened to immediately raise
rents if tenant protections were enacted.
Newly elected Councilwoman Diane
Papan along with Councilwoman Maureen
Freschet staunchly opposed rent control.
Papan voted in favor last week of the relocation assistance program arguing it was
less onerous than rent control. But changed
her mind Monday noting the proposed ordinance was too broad and said she was disappointed tenants were not at the meeting.
Tenant advocates who recently submitted
language for a ballot initiative to institute
rent control and just cause eviction,
announced shortly before the meeting they
would not be attending.
Over the past 18 months, we have been
to more than a dozen city meetings, have
participated in the citys task force, have
shared painful, personal stories, and have
watched hundreds of families and seniors in

our community be displaced while the council deliberated what action to take, according to a letter written by Reyna Gonzalez on
behalf of the group Faith in Action. We are
tired of witnessing how the voices of special interests seem to continually outweigh
the voices of residents. We are choosing not
to attend tonights meeting because it is
clear that the council will not take action to
address this crisis in a meaningful way
Bonilla suggested the city consider placing the tenants proposed measure on the
ballot, eliminating the need for them to
gather thousands of signatures. But the
meeting ended abruptly as the contentious
and sensitive issue rattled the council.
Mayor Joe Goethals originally proposed
the relocation assistance program as a
chance to avoid rent control but ideally
have landlords think twice before evicting

Acts coverage expansion.

Analysts say these exchanges may be
improving for insurers after a difficult start.
However, they also expect insurers to continue leaving some unprofitable markets as the
coverage expansion heads toward its fourth

the housing crisis such as looking at lifting

Still, Goethals said hed hoped the council could come to an agreement on a means

Unlike regulating alcohol, Im not a user

that affects people or what it does, Lori
Ajax told the Los Angeles Times in an interview Thursday.
But from the outreach Ive done since I

going to do it.
Ajax was appointed as the first chief of
the Bureau of Medical Marijuana Regulation

pays $150,636 a year and requires state
Senate approval.
Ajaxs division is working with several

existing departments on

property or what a new owner intends.
The Belmont closure comes on the heels of
the community rallying behind the San
Mateo Bridgepointe Shopping Center ice
rink that was shuttered in 2013.
Now, longtime Iceland supporters plan to
gather at the Tuesday, April 12, Belmont City
Council meeting to plead with officials to get
involved.
Theres so much recreation disappearing
in the area, so to see another disappear is really awful and shocking. Were hopeful they
can rezone the area such that it would be
favorable to have an ice rink there, said
Sarah Feldman, a supporter who grew up skating at Iceland. By rezoning it, theyd provide an opportunity for others interested to
look into the possibility of being there.
The city is in the midst of updating its
General Plan and Belmont Village Specific
Plan two critical zoning documents
expected to be finalized in mid-2017.
Feldman said she hopes the council will
take the 3-acre Iceland site into consideration
as part of the citys zoning process which
is the focus of Tuesdays meeting. While not
suggesting the site be restricted to only an ice
rink, Feldman and other supporters are advocating for a diverse recreational facility or

When Barbara Aguiar, a Make-A-Wish volunteer, and her colleagues visited the
Goddards home to present the wish, the family could not contain their excitement.

outside of the United States. Ive even never
gone out of state, said Joey Goddard.
Beth Goddard was thrilled to find out there

was excited about the limousine ride to the
airport while the brothers revel in a vacation
to another country.

footsteps, said Zachary Goddard.

creative ways to integrate ice skating if the

site were redeveloped.
With hundreds of skaters frequenting
Belmont and a huge push in San Mateo to preserve the Bridgepointe rink, Feldman said
shes confident that, given enough time, an
arrangement could be made for either a nonprofit or for-profit company to take over and
maintain skating at the property.
The sites current zoning is flexible with
residential, commercial or recreational uses
permitted, said Community Development
Director Carlos de Melo. No details are
known about the potential sale of the property or what a prospective buyer intends to construct, de Melo added.
Understanding the closure is a sensitive
subject, he noted its important to consider
the property owners perspective.
Its just a really challenging, difficult subject and by all means to a staff person, we
understand the concern about community
facilities and public facilities and recreation;
but the property owner really has a say in
this, de Melo said.

Zoning fails to keep rink open

Zoning restrictions have not proven a
catchall for those seeking to maintain another ice rink at the Bridgepointe Shopping
Center. Next week, the San Mateo City
Council is slated to review property owner
SPI Holdings request to amend the sites master plan.
Based on the agreement credited with allowThey are all so supportive of each other,
they are a wonderful family, said Aguiar.
Aguiar, who vetted the Goddards and worked
with them to coordinate the travel arrangements, said this could not have happened to a
more deserving family.
Robbie has always loved animals. It started with just dogs and cats, said Beth
Goddard.
The family once went to Safari West, a
wildlife preserve in Santa Rosa and, when it
was time to go, Robbie refused to leave.
Realizing his interest for animals, Beth
Goddard encouraged Robbie with books and

ing the shopping center to be redeveloped

nearly 20 years ago, SPI is currently restricted from demolishing the ice rink without
receiving council approval. However, the
zoning does not explicitly require the rink be
operational.
SPI has petitioned the city to change the
plan and allow it to construct retail in
exchange for $3 million a controversial
proposal thats drawn immense opposition
from ice rink supporters who contend the rink
was unfairly closed.
SPI has suggested if its request were denied,
it would instead seek alternate recreational
uses on site which the zoning allows if
approved by the San Mateo Planning
Commission.

Community seeks recreational array

Irrespective of the Bridgepointe outcome,
Belmont Iceland supporters emphasize even
maintaining all existing facilities barely
accounts for the need of skaters in the community.
Both Bridgepointe and Belmont were very
very busy rinks, said Crystal Smith, a coach
at Iceland. I want to bring awareness to the
fact that skating is popular in this area and
the fact that the rinks arent closing because
theyre quiet or not busy or not making
money. Thats not the case. Its important for
kids to have recreational opportunities and
some variety, not just soccer or basketball.
Smith noted the rink is scheduled to close
in a matter of days and hopes having the city
involved will help establish a longer term
look on the kids faces when the wish is
granted, the strength that these kids have,
going through sickness and struggle, it humbles me, said Aguiar.
Wishes granted by Make-A-Wish can range
anywhere from shopping sprees, vacations, a
celebrity meeting to being Batkid for a day.
Last year, Make-A-Wish granted over 500
wishes to children.
The goal is to enhance a childs life and
give them an experience where they could be
a kid again, a normal kid without doctors,
nurses, tests and illness, said Aguiar.
Aguiar has volunteered 25 years for the
Make-A-Wish, Great Bay Area chapter which
covers San Mateo County. Plane tickets, living accommodations, entrance fees, food and

solution for preserving skating in Belmont.

Jeffrey Crandell, a Realtor who coaches at
the Belmont rink where he first started skating 40 years ago, said he wants the council
and community to recognize the value of
these facilities particularly in a city where
home values are tied to quality education and
opportunities for children
Having that additional recreational component in a city fabric is what helps home
prices and quality of life, Crandell said. On
the Peninsula, at this point we have two functioning rinks and thats not enough. So there
needs to be a cry out there for our leadership
to understand that people do like ice rinks and
people do want a place to go.
With the cost of properties and population
increasing in the area, Feldman said its time
to take a stand as places like the former
Malibu Grand Prix, ice rinks and other recreational sites are being abandoned.
The Bay Area is a very dynamic place.
Oftentimes theres huge influxes and exits of
capital. And the one thing though that we
cant take back, is disappearing recreation,
Feldman said. The profitability of real estate
engaged people to create more real estate and
these places started to disappear. And its very
difficult to turn residential into recreation.
You can go one way, but you cant go back.

Beth Goddard said life can sometimes be overwhelming. But, when she sees the enjoyment

Richest live longer but gap

not as dismal in some cities
By Lindsey Tanner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO The richest Americans live at

least 10 years longer on average than the
poorest, but that gap isnt as wide in many
communities, especially affluent, highly
educated cities, a major study found.
The research emphasizes that where you
live and what you earn help determine life
expectancy, along with changeable behaviors including smoking and lack of exercise.
Stanford University economist Raj Chetty
and colleagues analyzed more than 1 billion
tax records between 1999 and 2014, along
with government records on nearly 7 million deaths. They used the data to estimate
life expectancy at age 40 by income and geoInstead of booking addicts or prostitutes into jail, police contact program employees, who graphic area. Their analysis was published

Low-level drug offenders find

new source of addiction help
By Gene Johnson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEATTLE When pondering how to keep

low-level drug offenders out of jail, officials
in Albany, New York, faced a challenge:
How could they pay for a case manager to
coax addicts onto the straight and narrow,
sometimes by tracking them down on the
streets?
The money turned up in a previously
untapped source: President Barack Obamas
health care law, which by expanding
Medicaid in some states has made repeat drug
offenders eligible for coverage, including
many who are homeless or mentally ill and
have never been covered before.
The idea could make the joint federal and
state health insurance program for the poor
into a new tool for shifting addicts out of the
criminal-justice system. Advocates hope to
prove that the concept works, possibly
paving the way for more cities to try it as an
alternative to the drug war.
Many repeat drug offenders are precisely
the population Medicaid expansion was
designed to cover, said Gabriel Sayegh, cofounder of the Katal Center for Health, Equity
and Justice, an advocacy group that aims to
reduce incarceration rates and promote drug
war alternatives. Down the road, we see a
path for case management and many other
services to be supported by Medicaid.

KEY FINDINGS

didnt change for people in the lowest 5 percent of income, but it increased by about 3
years for men and women in the top 5 percent. Those changes, and life expectancy in
general, varied substantially by region.
The poorest Americans lived the longest
in areas where smoking, obesity and inactivity were scarce, and access to medical care
had less influence than previous studies have
suggested. The study did not include people
with no income.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

Data from Dallas, Detroit and New York
help illustrate the findings. Among the lowest-income men and women, life expectancy
was lowest in Detroit and Dallas and highest
in New York. Among men at the lowest
income level, life expectancy was 72 in
Detroit, but almost 80 years in New York
a nearly seven-year difference. Among men
at the top income level, it was about 86
years in Detroit and 87 years in New York, a
difference of just one year. The gap was
smaller among women.
The lowest life expectancies for the poorest men and women less than 78 years
were in Indiana, Nevada and Oklahoma. For
the richest, the lowest life expectancies
less than about 85 years were in Hawaii,
Nevada and Oklahoma.

Judge clears Stairway to

Heaven copyright trial
By Anthony McCartney
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES A trial is needed to

determine if Led Zeppelins Stairway
to Heaven copies its opening notes
from a song performed by the rock
band Spirit, a federal judge has ruled.
U.S District Judge R. Gary Klausner
ruled Friday that lawyers for the trustee
of late Spirit guitarist Randy Wolfe had
shown enough evidence to support a
case that Stairway to Heaven copies
music from the Spirit song Taurus.
Taurus was written by Wolfe in
either 1966 or 1967, years before Led
Zeppelin released Stairway to
Heaven in 1971. Klausner wrote that
while the songs have some differ-

council unanimously agreed.
The Planning Commission, however, has recently voted to make the
requirement 20 percent which the
council will consider some time in
May.
Monday night, the council held a
study session led by Patrick OKeefe,
former city manager and community
development director in Emeryville.
While the council has focused on the
regulatory aspect of affordable housing, it had not until Monday night discussed how to fund the construction.
OKeefe outlined the primary ways
affordable housing developments are
currently financed and discussed a
report by the non-partisan California
Legislative Analysts Office on helping individuals with low incomes to
afford housing.
He discussed public financing programs such as tax credits and accessing
cap-and-trade funds to develop affordable housing.
OKeefe explained that the federal
Low Income Housing Tax Credit
Program
allows
developments
financed with the proceeds of taxexempt bonds to also apply for federal
tax credits.
The credits are then sold to corporate
or individual investors. The investors
benefit from the tax credit by purchasing an ownership interest in one or
more tax-credit housing projects.
It allows investors to claim a dollarfor-dollar credit against their tax liability over a 10-year period.
The states Affordable Housing and

ences, lawyers for Wolfes trustee may

be able to prove they are substantially
similar.
Led Zeppelin and Spirit performed at
some concerts and festivals around the
same time, but not on the same stage.
Klausner wrote that the evidence presented so far represented a circumstantial case that Led Zeppelin may have
heard Taurus performed before
Stairway to Heaven was created.
After-hours phone and email messages sent to Helene M. Freeman, Led
Zeppelins attorney, were not immediately returned. Experts hired by the
band contend both Stairway to
Heaven and Taurus use notes that
have been used in music for centuries.
Francis Alexander Malofiy, attorney

for Wolfes trustee Michael Skidmore,

praised the ruling. He said while many
copyright cases are an uphill battle,
Klausners ruling brings his client one
step closer to getting Wolfe credit for
helping create one of the most recognizable song introductions in rock
history.
Skidmore was able to overcome
statute-of-limitations hurdles to sue
over Stairway to Heaven because the
song was remastered and re-released in
2014.
A jury trial is scheduled for May 10
in Los Angeles. Klausners ruling
removed Zeppelin band member John
Paul Jones from the case. Bandmates
Robert Plant and Jimmy Page remain
defendants in the case.

Sustainable Communities Program is

funded from the Greenhouse Gas
Reduction Fund, an account established to receive cap-and-trade auction
proceeds.
The program invests in projects that
reduce greenhouse gas emissions by
supporting more compact, infill development patterns, encouraging active
transportation and transit usage and
protecting agricultural land from
sprawl development.
The program specifically supports
transit-oriented development and
loans or gives grants of up to $20 million for a transit-oriented development
if the project is within a half mile of a
transit stop.
In the packet to council for Monday
nights meeting, OKeefe also discusses multi-family bonds as a means to
build affordable housing.
The city can issue tax-exempt housing revenue bonds to assist developers
of multi-family rental housing units to
acquire land and construct new units or
purchase and rehabilitate existing
units.
The tax-exempt bonds lower the
interest rate paid by developers, who
in turn produce market rate and affordable housing units for low- and very
low-income households.
The Legislative Analysts Office
report estimates that extending housing assistance to low-income
Californians who do not currently
receive it would be an annual commitment of tens of billions of dollars.
Th e rep o rt al s o det ai l s h o w a
s carci t y o f h o us i n g un dermi n es
Sect i o n 8 h o us i n g v o uch ers . In
competitive housing markets, landlords are often reluctant to rent to
housing voucher recipients, accord-

ing to the LAO report.

The LAO report also explains how a
shortage of housing creates problems
for rent control policies since they do
not increase the housing supply and
likely discourage new construction.
Since the elimination of redevelopment, the affordable housing funding
process is more competitive and complicated than ever and cities must be
extremely thoughtful when aligning
their regulatory policies with financing options that currently exist related
to affordable housing, Aknin wrote in
the report council heard Monday
night.
Two public speakers urged the council to act swiftly when it comes to
addressing the regions housing crisis.
Affordable housing advocate Diana
Reddy said the city was perhaps six
decades behind in building the affordable housing needed to keep the working poor from being displaced.
We have some catching up to do,
said Redwood City resident Kris
Johnson.
According to the citys Housing
Element and its Regional Fair Share
Housing Allocation, it needs to build
2,789 units of housing to meet the
regions needs.
The city needs to build 706 units of
very low-income housing but has only
built 12 units so far. It needs to build
another 931 units for low- and- moderate-income households but has only
built 13 units. When it comes to building market-rate housing, however, the
city has built more units than it needs,
according to the Housing Element.
The citys housing need allocation
for above-moderate units is 1,152 but
it has built 1, 322 of those units,
according to the Housing Element.

NOTICE TO READERS:
California law requires that contractors
taking jobs that total $500 or more (labor
or materials) be licensed by the Contractors State License Board. State law also
requires that contractors include their license number in their advertising. You
can check the status of your licensed
contractor at www.cslb.ca.gov or 800321-CSLB. Unlicensed contractors taking
jobs that total less than $500 must state
in their advertisements that they are not
licensed by the Contractors State License Board.
