‘It’s really hard to buy here’

Bleak outlook offered to most home buyers, as prices continue to swell

“If you are an average Joe, it’s very

Realtor Jeff LaMont. “If you are a

you are kind of screwed. It’s really,

The bleak sentiment is borne out
through the most recent figures offered

Police response to Texas school

police officers patrolled the hallways and
students went through a scare in February

But in the aftermath of the deadliest public

A Lodi man was arrested for three felonies

Gate Bridge.
Fairfield police contacted the California
Highway Patrol at 12:05 a.m. to tell them a
stabbing victim had just been admitted to a
Fairfield hospital.
Police said the victim had been stabbed
while riding in a car across the Golden Gate
Bridge on Friday night. The victim had
severe injuries after being stabbed in the face
multiple times, police said.
The suspect was identified as 21-year-old
Jose Candido Plancarterueda of Lodi, who
works at an assembly line, according to
online inmate records from Marin County.
CHP officers responded to Fairfield to
interview the victim but Lodi police arrested
Plancarterueda after detaining him at a traffic
stop. CHP officers said the incident occurred
near Marin but the suspect was able to leave
the area very quickly.
Plancarterueda was transported to Marin
County and booked in Marin County Jail for
attempted murder, assault with a deadly
weapon causing great bodily injury and may-
hem. His bail is set at $500,000.

Countless knobs, pulls, sinks and bath-

other locations throughout the Bay Area

The company and its products will be fea-

sixth season of HGTV’s “Brother vs.

which brothers Jonathan and Drew Scott
compete to buy, transform and sell two

$50, 000 worth — for the two featured

Rich Campbell, operations manager for
Belmont Hardware, was a fan of the show
before its producers called him in January.
“They said Belmont Hardware was at the
top of their list of suppliers when they
checked out the Bay Area,” Campbell said.
He and Clore appear in several episodes of
the upcoming season.
Campbell said he was amazed that such
extensive remodels were completed in such
a short amount of time, adding that it was a
challenge to pull together the wide variety
of products in a timely manner.

“The entire interiors were redone and
once we saw them from beginning to end it

Clore, who has a background in computer
science and finance, grew up in Montana,
where his father owned a hardware store. He
was looking for a new opportunity in 1991
when he saw Belmont Hardware for sale in
The Wall Street Journal and purchased it.
Before Campbell joined the company
nearly 10 years ago, he owned Cornelia’s
Fine Kitchen and Bath in San Jose, which
later became Belmont Hardware’s sixth
location.
“San Jose was the only area in the region
Clore wasn’t in at the time,” Campbell
said. “Plumbing is my expertise for 30
years and he has hardware expertise so it
was a pretty good marriage.”
Since Campbell joined the company, it
has added plumbing to each of its show-
rooms, except the one in San Francisco.
“The unique thing about us is we’re
experts in decorative hardware and plumb-
ing,” he said. “Even throughout the country
there aren’t many companies strong in
both categories.”
With so many years in the business,
Campbell sees trends come and go.
“It’s hard to understand 30 years ago peo-
ple wanted polished brass and they wanted
it shiny and hated tarnish,” he said, refer-
ring to a type of finish. “But now people
want to buy it unlacquered and tarnished and
let it get more tarnished. It’s mind-bog-
gling.”
Many of these trends command a high
price.
Bathrooms are becoming more of a spa
experience, he said, and the company sells
mirrors with TVs in them, which are invis-
ible when turned off. Those are priced at
$3,500.

Beyond the depth of institutional knowl-

Area, including a carbon fiber hammock
bathtub, which is 9 feet long, 75 pounds
and hangs from two walls and is also bolted
to the ground. It costs $50,000.
“We’ve sold a few of those,” Campbell
said. “It’s something different. It’s an art

out the latest trends, it has to have a proven

continue utilizing through his next term.
Should Mohr garner the support required
to preserve his spot on the board, it would
mark the continuation of a relationship
established with the district when he was
hired in 2007 as president of Cañada
College.
Following his five-year term at the
school’s top post, he parlayed his engage-
ment with the district into a spot on the
school board when he won his first elec-

Campbell said the company competes
mostly with online sellers and not so much
with big-box stores like The Home Depot.

for the board to include at least one member
who can relate to those working as educa-

As Mohr asserts the value he can grant to
the district, he also recognized the recipro-
cal benefit he enjoys through serving the
school system while battling his illness.
Mohr said he believes staying active on
the board adds to his vibrancy and helps
him fend off the challenges posed by his
cancer. And though he acknowledges there
could be hurdles ahead posed by his eventu-

Faster-moving Hawaii lava spews new danger
By Caleb Jones and Jennifer
Kelleher and Jennifer Sinco Kelleher
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PAHOA, Hawaii — A volcano that is ooz-
ing, spewing and exploding on Hawaii’s
Big Island has gotten more hazardous in
recent days, with rivers of molten rock
pouring into the ocean Sunday and flying
lava causing the first major injury.
Kilauea volcano began erupting more
than two weeks ago and has burned dozens
of homes, forced thousands of people to flee
and shot up plumes of steam from its sum-
mit that led officials to distribute face
masks to protect against ash particles.
Lava flows have picked up speed in past
days, spattering molten rock that hit a man
in the leg.
He was outside his home Saturday in the
remote, rural region affected by the volcano
when the lava “hit him on the shin, and
shattered everything from there down on
his leg, ” Janet Snyder, Hawaii County
mayor’s spokeswoman, told the Hawaii
News Now TV station.
Lava that’s flying through the air from
cracks in the Earth can weigh as much as a
refrigerator and even small pieces can be
deadly, officials said.
The injury came the same day that lava
began streaming across a highway and
flowing into the ocean. The phenomenon
Charter backers outspend teachers in two California races
By Sophia Bollag
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — In the battle for the
future of California’s schools, charter
school advocates are far outpacing teachers
unions in spending to support candidates
for governor and state schools chief.
Wealthy donors who support charter
schools and education reform have poured
more than $22 million into independent
committees to support former Los Angeles
mayor Antonio Villaraigosa for governor
and former schools executive Marshall Tuck
for state schools chief. Many of the same

donors have also contributed directly to
Villaraigosa’s and Tuck’s campaigns.
The independent committees aren’t sub-
ject to campaign contribution limits but are
prohibited from coordinating messaging
with the candidates.
Teachers unions have dropped about $4
million on independent committees to back
Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom for governor and
Assemblyman Tony Thurmond for superin-
tendent. Teachers unions and other organ-
ized labor groups have also contributed to
Newsom’s and Thurmond’s campaigns.
All four men are Democrats who want
more education funding. But they differ on
state officials’ role in improving schools

The highway has shut down in some
spots, and residents in the area have been
evacuated.
Joseph Kekedi, an orchid grower who
lives and works about 3 miles (5 kilome-
ters) from where lava is pouring into the
sea, said luckily the flow didn’t head his
way. At one point, it was about a mile ups-
and how to handle nonprofit charter
schools, which are publicly funded but typ-
ically run independently of the traditional
public school system.
Studies on how effective charter schools
are compared with traditional public
schools have mixed results. California has
about 1,200 charter schools, but the vast
majority of its students attend non-charter
schools.
Currently, most California students score
below grade-level standards in math and
English on standardized tests, according to
data from the state Education Department.
The state superintendent of public
instruction and governor have power to

munity of Kapoho.
He said residents can’t do much but stay
informed and be ready to get out of the way.
“Here’s nature reminding us again who’s
boss,” Kekedi said.
He is hosting a 90-year-old who evacuat-
ed from the Leilani Estates neighborhood,
where lava started spewing May 3. He also
was storing belongings for other friends
who had to leave their homes.
Kekedi said most of his neighbors are
optimistic.
He has friends who lost houses when lava
smothered the town of Kalapana in the
1990s but they built again, found a good
life and “life went on.”
Scientists say they don’t know how long
the eruption will last. The volcano has
opened more than 20 vents, including four
that have merged into one large crack. It has
been gushing lava high into the sky and
sending a river of molten rock toward the
ocean at about 300 yards (274 meters) per
hour.
The flows accelerated after newer lava
began emerging from the ground late last
week. The fresher lava is hotter and tends to
move faster than the older lava that was
unleashed earlier.
Scientists say the older lava is likely
from magma that Kilauea has been storing
underground since the volcano last erupted
in 1955.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg are
two of the major donors behind a $17 mil-
lion independent effort to support
Villaraigosa ahead of the June 5 primary,
where he needs to finish first or second to
advance to the general election. Newsom is
widely considered the front-runner, with
Villaraigosa battling for second against
Republicans John Cox and Travis Allen and
Democrats Delaine Eastin and John Chiang.

In North Korea nuclear site closer,
spectacle will trump any substance
By Eric Talmadge
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOKYO — Foreign journalists will be
allowed to journey deep into the mountains
of North Korea this week to observe the
closing of the country’s Punggye-ri nuclear
test site in a much-touted display of good-
will before leader Kim Jong Un’s planned
summit with President Donald Trump next
month.
Expect good imagery. But not much else.
The public display of the closure of the
facility on Mount Mantap will likely be
heavy on spectacle and light on substance.
And the media will be spending much of
their time in an unrelated tourism zone that
North Korea hopes will be the next big
thing for its economy if Kim’s diplomatic
overtures pay off in the months ahead.
For sure, the closure is a milestone, mark-

As president pressures DOJ, Giuliani
says probe may end by September
By Jonathan Lemire
and Darlene Superville
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump
said Sunday that he will “demand” that the
Justice Department open an investigation
into whether the FBI infiltrated his presi-
dential campaign, an extraordinary order
that came hours before his legal team said
that the special counsel indicated its inves-
tigation into the president could be conclud-
ed by September.
Trump tweeted: “I hereby demand, and will
do so officially tomorrow, that the
Department of Justice look into whether or
not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the
Trump Campaign for Political Purposes —
and if any such demands or requests were
made by people within the Obama
Administration!”
Trump’s pressure on the Justice
Department —it asked its watchdog later
Sunday to expand an existing probe of FBI
actions — reached a new intensity with the
demand, and came amid a White House strat-
egy to combat the threat posed by special
counsel Robert Mueller’s ongoing investi-
gation into potential ties between Russia
and the Trump campaign. And the presi-
dent’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, said that

Mueller recently shared a
timetable that suggested
that its probe could end
by Sept. 1 if Trump were
to sit for an interview in
July, which is the legal
team’s new working
plan.
“We said to them, ‘If
Donald Trump we’re going to be inter-
viewed in July, how
much time until the report gets issued?”’
Giuliani told the Associated Press on
Sunday, referring to the report Mueller is
expected to issue to Congress at the conclu-
sion of his investigation. “They said
September, which is good for everyone,
because no one wants this to drag into the
midterms.”
Giuliani said he did not want a repeat of
what happened in 2016, when FBI Director
James Comey announced in the campaign’s
final days that he was reopening the inves-
tigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a pri-
vate email server, a decision Democrats
believe cost Clinton the race. Giuliani, the
former mayor of New York, also said that
Mueller’s team indicated that the entire
probe could end by September, not just its
investigation into potential obstruction of
justice.

County leading the state for future elections
By Alex Melendrez
E
arly voting has begun and as
one of the five counties in
California implementing the
Voter’s Choice Act this year, along
with the new Accessible Vote by Mail
system, San Mateo County could be a
model for the rest of the state.
In recent years, we’ve heard stories
of states passing suppressive voter ID
laws, many of which are tied up in
federal court. There was also the presi-
dent’s now defunct “Voter Fraud
Commission” which several experts
including Professor Richard L. Hasen
of the University of California, Irvine
agreed was a “faux commission”
designed to argue for more voter sup-
pression laws. California, however,
decided on a different path with Senate
Bill 450 otherwise known as the
Voter’s Choice Act.
Over at 40 Tower Road in San
Mateo, surrounded by two highways
and occasional deer, you’ll find the
San Mateo County Registration and
Elections Division hard at work
implementing quite a few firsts for not
just the county but the state as well.
One of those firsts includes the
Voter’s Choice Act.
Voters will notice several differ-
ences this year. For voters who were
not signed up for vote by mail previ-
ously it may come as a surprise when
they received an absentee ballot any-
way. Well, as of the start of 2018, all
San Mateo County registered voters
will be receiving an absentee ballot.
Unless you wish to drop off your bal-
lot, unlike previous years you don’t
need to bring your vote by mail ballot
with you to a voting site if you wish
to cast your ballot on an eSlate
machine. Speaking of voting sites,
gone are the days of visiting your
local polling place. Fret not as the
San Mateo County Registration and
Elections Division has upgraded its

I know the most important thing
residents can do this week is vote yes
on Measure P for Foster City.
Foster City is able to stay out of a

time being as long as progress is
made on levee improvements.
Without Measure P, we cannot make
these levee upgrades and therefore

Vote Centers. Vote
Centers act essen-
tially as satellites
for the Elections
Division’s office
by allowing voters
across the county
to cast their bal-
lots and address
registration questions at any one of
the Vote Centers.
These are but a few of the changes
the Voter’s Choice Act will bring this
year. Some additional changes include
same day registration and voting,
Vote Centers remaining open the last
two weekends before Election Day and
many other innovations. The law
itself was designed to increase voter
turnout and accessibility but the
importance lies in its execution. Here
is where the county can shine as the
San Mateo County Registration and
Elections Division is no stranger to
pilot programs and test runs.
The Voter’s Choice Act isn’t the
only new item this election, as San
Mateo County is also the first county
in the state to implement an
Accessible Vote by Mail system. This
new system allows voters with dis-
abilities to vote “privately and inde-
pendently by accessing and marking a
ballot in a screen-readable format
from any computer.” Once the ballot
is printed out it can be returned to the
Elections Division. While this elec-
tion season has just begun, the
Elections Division has done its
homework by receiving input on this
system from San Mateo County’s
Voter Accessibility Advisory
Committee or VAAC.
So what does San Mateo County’s
new election law and system mean for
California? There is no doubt the
nation is divided on a variety of
issues at all levels of government.
Addressing those challenges through
cannot avoid FEMA flood zone desig-
nation. This is our one chance to fix
our levee on our terms.
As a citizen, I want to make sure my
family, home and business are pro-
tected now and for years to come. As a
councilmember, I want our essential
city services like police and fire to be
protected and be able to serve our
community well.
FEMA flood zone designation is
imminent; it will not only leave us at
flood risk, but will also financially
impact local families and businesses.
Right now, we have a choice
though. Vote yes on Measure P or face
flood zone designation. Measure P
costs $272 for the average homeown-

a strong democratic process is key to
our identity as a nation. Now more
than ever we need election offices
around the state and country to pro-
vide the same level of access to all
voters to ensure our democratic
process is fair. If the rest of
California is going to follow suit
with the Voter’s Choice Act, then a lot
rides on the San Mateo County’s suc-
cess.
I have no doubt that in the hands of
the San Mateo County Registration

will continue its tradition of enfran-

A preschool
success story
L
ast year, Griselda Avina, a former parent at North
Shoreview Elementary School in San Mateo, recog-
nized a frail woman in a wheelchair at Macy’s in Fair
Oaks, California. She approached Freddie Blanc, and gave
her a hug. Teacher Freddie as she was called, was the beloved
preschool teacher of Avina’s son. And that son, 38-year-old
Ramiro Avina, will be the featured speaker at the annual PIP
(Parent Involvement Program) graduation June 15 when 120
preschoolers from Turnbull, Fiesta Gardens, LEAD and
George Hall elementary schools will graduate to kinder-
garten with their proud parents cheering them on.
The North Shoreview pre-
school was a first. It started
when Dave Thomas was
superintendent of the San
Mateo-Foster City
Elementary School District
and he hired Patricia Horkan
as an early childhood spe-
cialist. In those days, pre-
school was nursery school
for those who could afford it,
and day care for those who
could not. It was a new con-
cept which attempted to
demonstrate that early educa-
tion could be extremely ben-
eficial. In fact, the PIP pro-
gram then called the Early
Learning Center was a huge
success. It drew students
from the lowest socioeconomic census tracts in San Mateo.
It was free but parent participation was required at work-
shops and by volunteering in the classroom. Fathers would
volunteer on weekends to make toys and furniture for the
class. There was a reverse mirror where parents could
observe their children; there were exciting field trips and the
teacher made home visits. After a year of preschool, the
children were ready for kindergarten and any language chal-
lenges they had before seemed to have disappeared.
One of the reasons the program was such a success was
Teacher Freddie. She was everything you would want your
child’s first teacher to be. She was loving, welcoming,
patient and fun. The children adored her. But the program fell
on hard times when it lost federal funding. A group organ-
ized as Friends of the Early Learning Center tried to raise
funds to keep the program going. Eventually, an anony-
mous donor came to the rescue. He kept the program alive,
and expanded it to kindergarten and first-grade. State funding
has enabled it to expand to four schools.
In 1997, when Teacher Freddie retired, district teacher
Cheryl Shrewsbury, took charge of the expanded program.
When the students graduate this year, Shrewsbury will be
retiring as principal. She has been an inspirational leader,
just like her mom.
***
Many of the PIP graduates credit those early days and their
parents for their current successful lives. Ramiro Avina is a
perfect example. He lives in Gilroy with his wife and four
children. He commutes to Cupertino where he is an exercise
physiologist at Apple. Before that, he worked as an exercise
physiologist in cardiopulmonary rehab at Mills-Peninsula
Medical Center. He has a Master of Science degree from
Eastern Illinois University. He volunteers with the Gilroy
Recreation Department as a coach for Junior Giants, a free
baseball program provided by the San Francisco Giants.
His weekday begins when the alarm goes off at 3:45 a.m.,
then it’s off to the gym, then work and home by 6:45 p.m.
And he says conquering being lazy is his biggest challenge.
“I have early memories of the desire to learn at North
Shoreview. I remember learning how to tie my shoe and
making the catapult that we used to launch bean bags with a
stomp of our foot. I remember it being a lot of fun and so
now I associate learning with fun. I also remember making
mistakes and being corrected but encouraged to keep trying.
It’s been a while but I think the biggest thing that program
did was help me enjoy learning which I do today.”
They lived about a mile away from school. His father took
the car to work so his mom walked him to school each day
while he rode his tricycle.
“Through out the years, I have been blessed. My parents
were great and set expectations in regards to school, howev-
er college was never really talked about. In addition, my
mother was very vocal about the times I disappointed her
and the times she was proud of me. My biggest challenge
was my own laziness. To this day, I fight it on a regular
basis. In hindsight, I think it was my mom’s leadership that
drove me to succeed and not fail her. The fear of disappoint-
ing her was too much to ignore. “
The students and especially their parents will be inspired
by Avina’s story. Good teachers and good parents make a
difference. The senior Avinas have much to be proud of. And
special thanks to Teacher Freddie, Cheryl Shrewsbury, the
PIP staff and the anonymous donor for making so many
dreams come true.

U.S., China putting trade war

on hold after progress in talks
By Martin Crutsinger
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The world’s two
biggest economies are pulling back from
the brink of a trade war after making
progress in talks aimed at bringing down
America’s massive trade deficit with China.
“We are putting the trade war on hold,”
U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin
said on “Fox News Sunday.”
After high-level talks Thursday and
Friday, Beijing agreed in a joint statement
with the U.S. to “substantially reduce”
America’s trade deficit with China — but
didn’t commit to cut the gap by any specif-
ic amount. The Trump administration had
sought to slash the deficit by $200 billion.
Still, Mnuchin said that the two countries
had made “meaningful progress” and that
the Trump administration has agreed to put
on hold proposed tariffs on up to $150 bil-
lion in Chinese products. China had prom-
ised to retaliate in a move that threatened a
tit-for-tat trade war.
Mnuchin said they expect to see a big
increase — 35 to 45 percent this year alone
— in U.S. farm sales to China. He also fore-
cast a doubling in sales of U.S. energy prod-
ucts to the Chinese market, increasing ener-
gy exports by $50 billion to $60 billion in
the next three to five years.
Mnuchin said Commerce Secretary Wilbur
Ross, who has been part of the U.S. negoti-
ating team, would soon be traveling to
China to follow up on last week’s discus-
sions.
In Saturday’s statement, Beijing commit-

Gay-friendly Apple weighs N.

Carolina despite LGBT laws
By Emery P. Dalesio
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RALEIGH, N.C. — Gay-rights advocates
are divided on whether to cheer or bemoan a
potential marriage between the state of
North Carolina and one of the global corpo-
rations most friendly to LGBT workers and
causes.
Feelings remain raw over North Carolina’s
so-called bathroom bill, which prompted a
boycott campaign. Many advocates remain
frustrated that a legislative compromise that
put an end to the controversy still allows dis-
crimination against them.
Apple Inc. is close to deciding whether to
build a planned corporate hub in the
Raleigh-Durham area, a North Carolina
government official and an economic
development official told the Associated
Press. They spoke on condition of
anonymity because of confidentiality
promises surrounding business recruitment.
The project could create 5,000 North
Carolina jobs, with a later target of 10,000
jobs, the economic development official
said. And while they denied any direct tie to
the Apple decision, top state legislators
committed this week to a major expansion of
tax breaks for any employers promising
thousands of jobs.
An Apple spokesman declined to say
Friday how LGBT issues would play into its
location decision.
Some activists on lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender and queer issues think North
Carolina remains a bad fit.
“Apple has an opportunity to lead by locat-
ing and investing in places that fully protect
LGBTQ people. North Carolina is not one of
those places,” said Kate Oakley of the Human
Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest LGBT
civil rights organization. The group gives
Apple its highest corporate equality rating.

Golden Gate Bridge toll rises Business briefs

25 cents, more hikes possible
SAN FRANCISCO — Northern
California’s iconic Golden Gate Bridge will
cost southbound motorists and additional
quarter to cross starting July 1.
The Marin Independent Journal reported
Saturday that the toll hike will mean some
drivers will pay as much as $8 to travel from
Marin County to San Francisco.
The toll hike is the last of several that the
Golden Gate Bridge District Board of
Directors approved of five years ago. The
board will consider raising tolls again in the
fall and another hike appears likely. The
district is facing a $3.9 million deficit for
the fiscal year. Financial forecasts from the
district also show a $72 million five-year
deficit and a $360 million 10-year deficit.
Tolls are the principal revenue generator
for the bridge.
Average price of U.S. gas
jumps 10 cents, to $3 a gallon
CAMARILLO — The average price of reg-
ular-grade gasoline in the U.S. jumped 10
cents a gallon over the past two weeks to $3.
Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg of the
Lundberg Survey said Sunday that the price
has spiked 41 cents over the past three
months.
Lundberg says the increase is largely driv-
en by higher crude oil costs and the phas-
ing-in of summer-grade gasoline, which is
used to prevent smog.
The highest average price in the contigu-
ous 48 states was $3. 79 in the San
Francisco Bay Area. The lowest was $2.54
in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
The average price for diesel fuel rose 9
cents, to $3.23.

Top-seed Lady Scots stunned by Mitty

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
After a regular season in which everything
went Carlmont’s way, the Scots just couldn’t
catch a break in their Central Coast Section
Open Division softball opener.
The No. 1-seed Lady Scots (23-2 overall)
suffered a 3-1 elimination loss to No. 8 Mitty
Saturday at Hawes Field, hitting the ball plen-
ty well but having nothing to show for it.
“We hit the ball actually very good,”
Carlmont head coach Marco Giuliacci said.
“We had a lot of hard line drives right at
them. Sometimes that’s
just the way it goes. It
was just one of those
days.”
Starting pitcher Mailey
McLemore hadn’t lost a
game in over a month,
but got off to a rocky
start in the first. The sen-
Mailey ior issued a walk, then
McLemore gave up a two-run home
run when she tipped a
changeup to the opposing hitter.
“She pitched a phenomenal game,”
Giuliacci said. “She made a couple mistakes
in the first inning … but the two-run homer
was really not her fault.”
Mitty (18-7) led the rest of the way, though
Carlmont had its chances in the late going.
The Scots left eight runners on base through-
out, including five in the final two frames.
After stranding runners on second and third
in the sixth, Carlmont rallied in the seventh.
Sophomore pinch-hitter Sam Chu opened the
inning with a double and junior Logan
Bonetti followed with a single to put runners
at the corners. Amanda Kondo then singled
home Chu for the Scots’ only run of the game.
Carlmont went on to load the bases with
two outs on a walk to junior Ashley
Trierweiler. But the game, and the season,
ended for the Scots on a groundout.
“Obviously everybody was super upset
about it,” Giuliacci said. “We knew it would
be a tough game but we thought we’d come
out ahead.”
Trierweiler had one hit to extend her hitting
streak to 20 games. The junior totaled 54 hits
on the season, ranking second all-time among
single-season leaders in program history. She

6-0 loss to Palma in the CCS Division III playoffs. The right-handed Cal commit set down the
first 10 batters he faced before Terra Nova
senior Nate Gordon bunted for a single in
the fourth inning. Stoutenborough got off
the mound quickly to field the bunt himself
and threw a strike to first base, but Gordon
legged out the single on a bang-bang play.
“I told him to put one down the line and try
to get something going,” Terra Nova man-
ager John Vallero said. “It was a tie game, we
were just trying to create something. And I
know it’s a lousy way to lose a no-hitter. But
it was in the fourth inning. It isn’t like it
was later. … We’re trying to get ahead.”
Stoutenborough went on to walk two and
hit a batter, but struck out seven and induced
two double plays — including a game-end-
ing 4-6-3 twin-killing — to face just two
over the minimum.
“He had command of the strike zone the
entire game,” Vallero said. “He had a great
curveball offsetting his fastball. … We

sure.”

Henig swims to silver, Serra baseball rekindles magic
Taner bronze in Clovis
at CIF championships
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Serra’s Brooks Taner and Menlo-Atherton’s Izzi Henig
capped the swimming season with strong performances at the
state championships in Clovis Saturday.
Taner, a junior, took home a pair of third-place finishes.
Swimming the leadoff leg of the 200 med-
ley relay, Taner teamed with seniors Alec
Cullen, Riley Scanlan and Daniel
Gilmartin to finished third in a time of
1:32.32, just behind winner Oak Ridge’s
time of 1:31.32 and Northwood, which
posted a time of 1:31.46. The Padres quar-
tet also finished 11th in the 400 free
relay with a time of 3:06.11.
Taner then added a third-place finish in
Brooks Taner the 100 fly with a time of 47.61. Cullen
would would later finish fourth in the 100
breast, finishing with a time of 54.82.
Henig, a senior, capped her high
school career with a fourth-place finish
in the 50 free, covering the distance in a
time of 22.95, a half-second behind win-
ner Amalie Fackenthal of Country Day.
Izzi Henig
Henig came back with a second-place fin-
ish in the 100 free, again falling to
Fackenthal, who blew away the field by
nearly a second. Henig finished with a
time of 49.35 – Fackenthal was the only swimmer to clock
a sub-49-second time, finishing with a 48.43. Henig then
helped the Bears to a 10th-place finish in the 200 free relay,
teaming with Sofia De La Vega, Haley Arrington and Ava
Peyton to post a time of 1:36.39. Nicole Dundas would
replace Peyton for the M-A girls’ 12th-place finish in the
400 free relay, joining Henig, Arrington and De La Vega to
post a time of 3:31.36.
There were some other strong finishes for other swimmers
on the Peninsula. Morgan Hawes, a freshman at Carlmont,
will be one one to watch in the coming years as she finished
14th in the 200 free with a time of 1:52.10. Hawes also
made the “B” finals of the 500 free, finishing in 15th place
with a time of 5:00.64.
A pair of San Mateo swimmers also made it to Saturday’s
finals. Emma Lepisova took fifth in the 100 back, finish-
ing with a time of 55.03, while Valeriya Nasedkina was 13th
in the 50 free “B” final with a time of 23.63.
On the boys’ side, El Camino’s Nick Tan wrapped up his
prep career with a 14th-place finish in the 200 IM with a
time of 1:53.08.
In the diving finals, Crystal Springs’ Nike Agunbiade
took home fifth in the 1-meter diving event, finishing with
a total score of 458.95. El Toro’s Savannah Stocker cap-
tured the title with 507.55 points.

Being the underdog is a role that has
suited the Serra well this season. So, it
almost seemed like destiny when the
Padres entered the Central Coast Section
Open Division playoffs as the No. 8
seed out of eight teams.
After scoring a slew on regular-season
upsets en route to a West Catholic
Athletic League co-championship,
Serra (23-8 overall) opened CCS play
by taking down top-seed Willow Glen
4-1 Saturday at West Valley College in

If the Padres are going to fulfill their
quest for the program’s first CCS title
since 2009, they will have to score two

Menlo rallied for a 6-1 victory over

TORONTO — Daniel Mengden
helped the surging Athletics fin-
ish off a sweep and gave Oakland’s
beleaguered bullpen a much-need-
ed break.
Mengden allowed two hits over
seven shutout innings to win his
second straight start, a 9-2 rout of
the Toronto Blue Jays 9-2 on
Sunday that completed a four-game
sweep.
Marcus Semien hit a two-run
home run and had three RBIs, and
Matt Chapman had three hits and a
walk as Oakland swept a four-game
road series for the first time since
September 2016 at Kansas City.
“We got swept here last year so it
feels good to come out here and get
some wins,” Chapman said.
Oakland lost four straight at
Toronto last July, including a pair of
walk-offs.
Toronto designated hitter Kendrys
Morales had two of Toronto’s four
hits and made his first big league
pitching appearance with a score-
less ninth. Morales, who once
pitched in the Cuban league, worked
around a one-out walk and got three
flyouts.
Oakland went 7-3 on a trip to the
New York Yankees, Boston, and
Toronto, homering in every game.
The A’s are 12-4 against the AL
East.
“It’s probably the toughest road
trip we have all year, and to go 7-3
is amazing,” Mengden said. “We’re
really hot right now.”
It’s Oakland’s first seven-win trip
since April 2014, when the A’s

Daniel Mengden improved his record to 4-4 Sunday at the Rogers Centre.

said. “That was big for us.”
Oakland relievers combined to
pitch 18 2/3 innings over the first
three games of the series. Right-
hander Andrew Triggs left
Thursday’s series opener in the third
inning with a nerve irritation in a

On Sunday, Oakland designated
hitter Khris Davis left in the fourth
inning because of a strained right
groin. Davis was unable to run hard
on his grounder to shortstop,

“He didn’t feel a pop, which is
encouraging, but typically those
things aren’t one or two days,”

Belt’s 3-run blast lifts
Giants to series split
By Gideon Rubin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Brandon
Belt is going back to basics this
year, and it’s paying off for the
Giants’ slugger.
“The main thing, just sticking
with my approach, my strike
zone,” Belt said. “When I get a
pitch in my zone I’m doing some-
thing with it.”
Belt snapped a seventh-inning
tie with a three-run homer and San
Francisco beat the Rockies 9-5
Sunday.
Nick Hundley added a solo shot
later in the seventh for the Giants,
who salvaged a series split after
dropping the first two games.
Gorkys Hernandez hit a two-run
homer in the fifth.

The Giants, who had 13 hits,
have homered in nine straight
games.
Belt connected for his 12th of
the season and fifth in seven
games to give San Francisco an 8-
5 lead. He and Hundley both home-
red off left-hander Jake McGee.
“He’s really been swinging the
bat so well and it’s been over an
extended period of time,” Giants
manager Bruce Bochy said about
Belt. “They brought in a tough
lefty and he got the job done.”
Belt came to the plate with
Hernandez aboard on a leadoff sin-
gle and Evan Longoria on follow-
ing a one-out walk by reliever
Bryan Shaw (1-2).

said. “That’s kind of how we’ve been hitting
this year is we’ll go around one time and the
second time around we’ll get some stuff
going and put some innings together.”
Palma sent 10 batters to the plate in the
fifth to score all six runs. Gabe Razo reached
on an infield throwing error to start the
inning. Then, after a sacrifice bunt by Grant
Sergent, six straight Palma batters reached
base, including two hit batsmen, the second

Mitty then tacked on a crucial insurance
run in the bottom of the fifth. With one out,
West Catholic Athletic League Player of the
Year Nick Yorke singled. With two outs,
older brother Joe Yorke laced a single to
left. Nick Yorke tore around the bases as
Burlingame left fielder Justin Brunicardi
fielded the ball and came up firing.
His throw, however, did not go directly to
the cutoff man, instead dribbling into the
middle of the infield. It took a beat for the
relay man to realize Nick Yorke was trying to
score. His throw to catcher Alex McMaster
was there in time for a bang-bang play at the
plate, but McMaster’s sweep tag went over
the top of Nick Yorke, who used a head-first
slide to slip up McMaster’s effort.
It turned out to be a huge run because after
getting on the scoreboard in the first inning,
Burlingame was shut down by Mitty starting
pitcher Andrew McCann, who, despite own-
ing the Panthers over the first five innings,
was inexplicably lifted for reliever Dominic
ously serving as a coach under his father
Carl Vallero, then returning for his first turn
as manager of the varsity Tigers.
“I’ll be 70-years old in a couple months

As Clark rounded first, however, his feet

moment laid in the dirt as he appeared willing

But Brown was running the whole time. He

Meanwhile, Clark got up and got in a rundown,

Said Lopiccolo: “I was hitting my spots,

Lopiccolo was staked to a 1-0 lead as the
Panthers got off to a quick start for the sec-

onslaught to start the game like they did

did get on the board first. Brown led off the
game with a triple, rifling a ball down the
right-field line and into the corner. Brown
scooted home on Lopiccolo’s infield hit.
Chase Funkhouser led off the second for
Burlingame with an infield hit, but McCann
settled in after that, retiring 10 in a row before
a McMaster single to center in the fifth.

Golden Knights oust Jets to
advance to Stanley Cup Final
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WINNIPEG, Manitoba — The
Vegas Golden Knights are going
to the Stanley Cup Final — with a
chip on their shoulder.
“Everybody on this team has
something to prove, ” Ryan
Reaves said. “We call ourselves
‘The Golden Misfits’ for a reason.
We’re doing a good job of proving
everybody wrong.”
Reaves scored the winning goal,
Marc-Andre Fleury made 31 saves
and the Golden Knights beat the
Winnipeg Jets 2-1 on Sunday to
wrap up the Western Conference
final in five games.
“It’s insane,” said defenseman
Deryk Engelland, who grabbed the
Clarence S. Campbell Bowl after the
final buzzer to celebrate with his
teammates. “Your goal is always to
make the playoffs. But if I were to
guess I would be sitting here doing
this right now, you would be a little
skeptical at the time.”
Alex Tuch also scored for the
Knights. They lost Game 1 in
Winnipeg before winning four
straight to become the first expan-
sion team since the 1968 St. Louis
Blues — when the six initial
expansion teams were put alone in
the West — to get to the final.
“It was their time,” Winnipeg
captain Blake Wheeler said.
“They’re just playing really well.”
Vegas will meet Tampa Bay or
Washington in the final. Tampa
Bay leads the Eastern final 3-2,
with Game 6 set for Monday night
in Washington.

“All those records and every-

Vegas center Jonathan
Marchessault said. “I think we
have a lot of gas left.”
Josh Morrissey scored for the
Jets, and Connor Hellebuyck made
30 saves.
Reaves, the bruising Winnipeg
native acquired from Pittsburgh
before to the trade deadline in
February, snapped a 1-1 tie with

ing up four in the opener.
Winnipeg got a power play
early in the third, but couldn’t
muster much of anything. The
Knights smothered much of the
Jets’ attack for the next 10 min-
utes, with Hellebuyck having to
come up with big stops on
William Karlsson and Eric Haula
to keep his team within one.
The Jets pressed with under 4 min-
utes to go, with Fleury stopping cap-
tain Blake Wheeler on the doorstep,
but it wasn’t nearly enough as the
Knights closed out their third
straight series on the road.
The Jets had the NHL’s second-
best record with 114 points in the
regular season. They advanced to the
first conference final in city’s histo-
ry with a five-game victory over the
Minnesota Wild in the opening
round before topping the Presidents’
Trophy-winning Nashville
Predators in Game 7 on the road.

‘Deadpool 2,’ with Ryan Reynolds returning as the title character and co-writing this time, fell somewhat short of the $130
million the studio predicted and the $132.4 million that its predecessor earned two years ago.
‘Deadpool 2’ rakes in $125M
By Andrew Dalton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Deadpool and his
foul-mouthed crew of misfits and mal-
contents have taken down the
Avengers.
Fox’s “Deadpool 2” brought in $125
million this weekend, giving it the
second-highest opening ever for an R-
rated movie and ending the three-week
reign of Disney’s “Avengers: Infinity
War” at the top of the North American
box office, according to studio esti-
mates Sunday.
“Deadpool 2,” with Ryan Reynolds
returning as the title character and co-
writing this time, fell somewhat short
of the $130 million the studio predict-
ed and the $132.4 million that its pred-
ecessor earned two years ago.
Analysts and the studio said the dif-
ference can be attributed to the first
film opening on a holiday weekend,
and could easily be made up with
Memorial Day coming, despite the
looming competition from “Solo: A
Star Wars Story.”
“I think with a holiday on our second
weekend we’ll catch ‘Deadpool’ if not
exceed it,” said Chris Aronson, distri-
bution chief for 20th Century Fox.

now the fifth highest grossing film of
all time worldwide.
In a whole different corner of the cin-
ematic universe, “Book Club” was
third with a $12.5 million weekend
that exceeded expectations.
It was a successful piece of counter-
programming for Paramount, which
used the modestly budgeted comedy
starring Jane Fonda, Diane Keaton and
Candice Bergen to find older audiences
and women while “Deadpool 2”
dwelled overwhelmingly on young
men.
“There are definitely audiences out
there for whom superhero movies are
not their cup of tea, ” said Paul
Dergarabedian, senior media analyst
for comScore.
“Deadpool 2” follows the proudly
foul formula of the first, mixing the
usual superhero set pieces with gore,
gross-out jokes, 80s power ballads and
frequent fourth-wall violations.
The box office of the second film
suggests that formula can become a
long-term franchise, and builds its
possibilities with the addition of anti-
hero teammates from Marvel Comics
for the title character, including Josh
Brolin’s Cable and Zazie Beetz’s
Domino.

Animal collectors
O
nce portrayed as people who “cared too much” and
“in over their heads,” animal hoarders are now rec-
ognized as suffering from a diagnosable mental ill-
ness linked to obsessive compulsive disorder. My first expe-
rience (back in the 1970s) was with a man who sat perfectly
still in an overstuffed chair, next to dozens of identical white
shirts fresh from the dry cleaner neatly
hung on a metal clothes rack, sipping
Scotch and nibbling vanilla wafers
while Animal Control Officers fol-
lowed a pack of little brown dogs tun-
neling through waist-high debris cov-
ering the apartment. It struck me then,
and probably would still today, as a
scene from some art film rather than
real life. But it was real, as was the
profound neglect the dogs suffered.
Another example: Because agents
were discomforted by the rattlesnakes, we were called to the
home of a child pornographer by the U.S. Marshals Service
who had seized the property. The marshals were unaware that
possession of the snakes was itself a crime. Worse, however,
were the conditions. Tanks in bedrooms, bathrooms, on the
kitchen counter, the living room floor, most beyond filthy,
half-digested and regurgitated mice littering the tanks of
these malnourished, dehydrated, dying wild animals.
And while the phrase “cat lady” may evoke an almost
laughable image, like something from a Saturday Night Live
skit, my worst had over 400 cats — excluding those wrapped
in plastic in her freezer — in and around her home. The over-
whelming fumes required respirators and protective clothing
which fortunately shielded us from a literal cloud of fleas that
approached as we entered, courtesy of a warrant executed by
police and Adult Protective Services. Power tools cut
through walls to recover cats stuck in the narrow space
between this and the next home. It took more than a week to
round up all the animals.
Animal Control officers and humane investigators come to
this work out of a desire to help animals, but more often
than you may realize they deal with people themselves in
need of help.

Society & SPCA.

Belmont and Foster City floated closer
to the $2 million mark, at $1.8 and
$1.9 million respectively.
And what type of a down payment
does it require to make such an acquisi-
tion? While conventional wisdom
would suggest that a figure around 10
percent may be adequate, Realtor
Michael Verdone said the local market
frequently demands twice that, poten-
tially pushing upfront costs to the
ballpark of $350,000.
Access to such a sizable sum does not
guarantee a sale either, noted Verdone,
who said it is not uncommon for some
shoppers to put up half of their down
payment, or even close a deal with
cash.
Verdone, who is headquartered in
Redwood City but also works as an
official with the National Association
of Realtors, said he sees little relief on
the horizon.
“As long as the population continues
to grow along with the job centers, I
don’t really see this changing,” said
Verdone, who has worked in the local
real estate market for more than four
decades.
Real estate online database Zillow is
bullish on the value of local properties
as well, as it projects home values to
climb to the tune of 8 percent over the
coming year. The website claims the
county’s current median home value is
$1.3 million, marking a more than 19
percent jump over the past year.
Verdone said he considers the
HISTORY

El Camino with a beautiful grove of
trees.”
The most historic section of trees is
The Howard-Ralston Eucalyptus Tree
Row, an outgrowth of the design by
famous landscape gardener John
McLaren, the brains behind the devel-
opment of Golden Gate Park in San
Francisco. That grove was placed on
the National Register of Historic
Places in 2012, so the task force’s job
is limited to a three-block stretch of
El Camino Real.
National Register documents say
McLaren wanted to set up a barricade
of trees to beautify and protect the
part of the road leading to the grand
estates of the wealthy, the most
prominent being George Howard and
William Ralston. McLaren, who died
in 1943, was hired by Howard in the
1870s and spent 14 years in his
employ, according to the Burlingame
Historical Society.
strength of the local home market
unprecedented, even by the standards
set around the turn of the century when
home values spiked precipitously.
LaMont, who has roughly 30 years
experience selling homes in San Mateo
County, shared a similar sentiment.
“This is the strongest market I’ve
ever seen,” he said.
By tracking local median sales
trends, figures support such a belief as
April’s prices are higher than any point
since 1998, according to county and
SAMCAR online databases.
Buyers seeking relief from the con-
stant price increases should advocate
for more development, as the most
likely mechanism for pushing down
prices is more building, agreed LaMont
and Verdone.
“As long as all these communities
are not building enough units to
accommodate demand, we will have
this imbalance of supply,” said
LaMont.
Verdone concurred, citing Redwood
City as a potential model among local
cities seeking to build sufficient hous-
ing near central shopping districts and
transit corridors.
In 1938, McLaren wrote a letter to
eminent Peninsula historian Frank
Stanger in which he described his ini-
tial plan to plant trees from San
Mateo to Millbrae.
The original plan was for three rows
of trees, including elm. “The eucalyp-
tus should only remain as a shelter
and windbreak for the elm trees until
the latter became properly established
and attain some growth,” he told
Stanger. “However, the eucalyptus, as
you know, are still in place.” The
aforementioned National Register
reports that starting in 2006, disease-
tolerant elm trees were planted “in
keeping with John McLaren’s origi-
nal design.”
It’s been estimated that McLaren
planted 80 percent of Burlingame’s
trees during the decade or so when he
was working on the Peninsula to
transform a largely treeless region.
The trees can bring problems,
among them damage to sidewalks
caused by root systems, which critics
noted nearly 100 years ago. The anti-
tree forces included Nydia Adams, who
waged a one-woman war against the
trees from 1928 to 1935 in a series of

ing in Redwood City and surrounding
cities, Verdone said there is more work
that needs to be done for the market to
take notice.
“There is a lot more inventory start-
ing to come onto the market, but it is
nowhere near what it should be,” he
said.
To facilitate more construction,
Verdone said he as worked as a conduit
through his association with local and
national Realtor groups to advocate for
loosened development regulations.
He pointed to recent legislative
efforts such as those floated by state
Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco,
alongside separate pushes to allow
more accessory dwelling units, as a
potentially effective means of improv-
ing the local housing stock.
But he said more pressure still needs
to be applied by residents and commu-
nity members on local elected officials
to approve more building.
“It’s up to the cities to continue
building housing, because we have a
housing shortage,” he said.
LaMont agreed, and pointed to recent
approvals of large developments near
the Millbrae train station as a mark of a
successful push for more housing local-
ly.
But with an understanding there is a
lag between building permit issuance
and the new units becoming available,
he suggested the time bridging the gap
before supply begins to meet demand
will likely be painful for most.
“If you are not working in high tech
or biotech or have family money or are
not an entrepreneur whose business is
doing really, really well — it’s really
hard to buy here,” he said.
letters to the City Council in which
she complained about falling tree
limbs and buckling sidewalks.
Adams lost her war to stave off her
city from becoming “The City of
Trees.” Now back to New York’s and
Chicago’s nicknames. Lots of debate
about the origins of both. Chicago
does have strong winds, but not as
fierce as Boston, New York or San
Francisco, according to weather
experts. Still, some historians note
that the term appeared in headlines in
1876 when a tornado hit Chicago.
Another popular theory is that the
“wind” referred to blowhard politi-
cians. The “Big Apple” for New York
is usually traced to a sportswriter who
used the term in the 1920s to denote
big time horse racing in the area. Gee,
the Rear View Mirror always thought
it had to do with the Bible, as in
being tempted by a “big apple” in the
Garden of Eden.
The Rear View Mirror by history columnist
Jim Clifford appears in the Daily Journal
every other Monday. Objects in The Mirror
are closer than they appear.

APPEAL
Continued from page 1
ronmental impacts that have not been stud-
ied or mitigated.”
Designed by ROEM Development, the six
and seven-story tall development contains
a mix of studios, one-bedroom and two-bed-
room units for rent as well as 19 affordable
units at various income levels. ROEM will
also construct a public trail along Redwood
Creek with an overlook point and bike
racks. The project was granted a Planned
Community Permit, density bonus and
height concession.
The city deemed the proposal exempt
from the California Environmental Quality
Act, which requires local agencies to identi-
fy environmental impacts of proposed
developments and mitigate them if feasi-
ble.
In his appeal, Goolsby argued that CEQA
exception — known as “Class 32” — is not
valid because of the “unusual circumstances
of the land” on which the project is pro-
posed, including the amount of soil that
will need to be transported off the project
site and a shallow water table.
He claimed construction will bring signif-
icant traffic, air quality and noise impacts,
as 6,250 truck loads of soil will be hauled
off the site in addition to return trips with
clean soil.
Goolsby also claimed soil would be
excavated as deep as 15 feet, which may
negatively affect groundwater connected
LOCAL Monday • May 21, 2018 27
to Redwood Creek.
For those reasons and others, he argued
the project requires additional environmen-
tal review.
According to a staff report, Goolsby's
claims are based on an outdated soils report
and 2016 conceptual design, which entailed
one level of below-grade parking, a design
that was later revised. The approved devel-
opment includes only above-ground park-
ing.
The report also states that excavation will
not be as deep as 15 feet, but concedes that
construction may reach groundwater level
and “dewatering measures” should be stud-
ied.
Goolsby also objected to the parking
ratios and height of the development, but
city staff countered that those concessions
are consistent with the state density bonus
law.
Nonetheless, Goolsby maintains those
concessions negatively impact the envi-
ronment and violate the zoning code,
according to follow-up letters he sent the
city. Goolsby could not be reached for com-
ment.
In other business, the council will also
consider an inclusionary zoning ordinance; Artist’s rendering of the seven-story residential development at 353 Main St. in Redwood City.
the schematic design of the Veterans
Memorial building; a two-hour parking
limit near Jardin De Niños Park; and a sec-
ond reading of an ordinance establishing a
new waterfront district and townhome
development at 1548 Maple St.
The City Council will meet on Monday at
7 p. m. at 1017 Middlefield Road in
Redwood City.
