Public Works weighs in on Central Park Master Plan

Update continues to attract supporters of tennis courts, ball field, senior center
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Updating plans for the future of San

Mateos Central Park is continuing to
attract strong opinions from various user
groups who seek space in the proposed new
design of the downtown amenity.
The Public Works Commission had a
chance Wednesday to weigh in on the three

conceptual designs that have aroused input

from those seeking to preserve the parks
tennis courts, Fitzgerald Field and keep a
location for the senior-serving nonprofit
Self-Help for the Elderly.
We have three special interest groups
that are specifically seeking to maintain
their pleasure and enjoyment of the park,
said Public Works Commissioner Anna
Kuhre. What would make our park out-

standing, is that is meets the needs of the

citizens going forward.
Kuhre said nearly 100 people attended the
meeting during which the commission was
asked to provide feedback on parking and
user access.
While the parks historic attributes such
as the Japanese Garden, Kohl Pumphouse
and rose garden will remain, all of the preliminary proposals include tearing down

the tennis courts and current recreation center occupied by Self-Help for the Elderly as
well as one map that suggests removing the
ball field.
Although members of the public focused
on their desired amenities, the commissions purview revolved around a proposed
new multi-level subterranean parking struc-

Yoga instructor Yiwen Chang and her dog Blackberry are hoping to live in a tiny house but needs a place to park it.

Craving a simpler life

Yoga instructor wants to buy tiny house but lacks space to park it
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

What do people do with all that

extra land?
Its a thought that comes to mind
every time Yiwen Chang drives
through Woodside where big houses sit
on even bigger plots of land.
Chang is looking to live a simpler
life and has decided that a tiny 200square-foot house on wheels is all the
space she needs.
I want to go smaller and smaller to

the point of having nothing, said

Chang, who runs the Prajna Yoga and
Healing Arts Center in Belmont.
Its about being good to the environment and living without excess.
For some, living in a big house can
be a symbol of success. But for Chang,
living in a tiny house is her idea of
ultimate success.
She has her eye on buying one but
has a big hurdle in her path.
Where will she park it?
Tiny houses seem to be all the rage
on TV and Chang has a friend who

lives off the grid in a tiny house in

Ojai who has inspired her to live the
same way.
The tiny house movement may be
growing but there is no real evidence
of it here in San Mateo County.
With rents going up 50 percent in
the past four years in the area, county
officials have even started to discuss
tiny houses as a way to address the
regions housing crisis.
Nonprofits, too, such as Samaritan

sive rights abuses in the island village of Benjina and surrounding

waters. Many of the men said they
were tricked or even kidnapped
before being put on boats in Thailand
and taken to Indonesia. They were
forced to work almost non-stop under
horrendous conditions, some brutally beaten by their Thai captains when
they were sick or caught resting.
Last week, authorities rescued 330
migrants from Benjina, bringing
them to the island of Tual, where they
are now being sheltered by the
Indonesian government. Those found
Thursday remain in Benjina.
Its unclear who will pay for the
mass repatriation.
Myanmar opposition leader Aung
San Suu Kyi told reporters Thursday
in her countrys capital, Naypyitaw,
it was up to governments to protect
the rights of the citizens and to bring
them back out of bondage.
That is the most obvious and very
simple solution and unavoidable duty
of any responsible government, she
told reporters.
While most fisherman found in
Benjina were Burmese, there also
were scores of Cambodians. The toll
of 550 did not include men many
of whom also were enslaved from
poor parts of Thailand.

Planners finalize ideas

on home remodel rules
Amendments to Belmont zoning and
tree ordinances head to City Council
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

After discussing a slew of proposed

changes to how Belmont property owners
can remodel their homes, the Planning
Commission finalized its recommendation
for the council to proceed with the controversial update to the zoning and tree ordinances.
The commission held its third meeting
Tuesday on the proposed changes that
include removing home size caps, reducing
parking requirements and allowing staff to
approve smaller home renovations. They
also suggested easing the ability for property owners to construct second units and creating objective criteria for single-family
home design reviews.
In its final discussion, the commission
reviewed the proposed changes to the citys
tree ordinance and agreed with staff that the
amendments to how property owners redevelop or remodel their homes wouldnt have
a substantial impact on the environment.
The vast majority of folks think that
whats being recommended here is to take a
good thing and make it better, said
Planning Commission Chair Douglas Kim.
During previous meetings, the commission unanimously supported creating a
tiered system for reviewing single-family
homes, but differed on how to reduce parking requirements and whether to eliminate a
cap on home sizes.
On Tuesday, the commission ultimately
passed a resolution that supports amending
the citys stringent zoning ordinances and
made various recommendations based on

public comments and the commissioners

feedback.

Supporting greenery
The commission opted to support efforts
to preserve heritage trees and institute fees
or require homeowners to replant trees if
they remove certain species as part of redevelopment projects.
The Parks and Recreation Department will
be responsible for developing a valuation
method that may include the tree size,
species, location, condition and life
expectancy of the tree, according to a city
staff report.
Although it will be further refined, a sample schedule ranged from a $1,000 fee to
remove tree that is in very good shape and
more than 24 inches in diameter four feet
from the ground, to a $125 fee for a tree in
poor condition thats between 10 and 18
inches in diameter four feet from the ground.
Protected trees would include heritage
trees, oak and redwood species that are 10
inches in diameter or more, city-owned trees
as well as large trees that are 24 inches or
more, according to a city staff report.
The Parks and Recreation Commission
also reviewed the proposal at an April 1
meeting and both commissions agreed
theyd prefer the protected tree standard be
reduced from 24 inches to preserving trees
of smaller diameters, said Senior Planner
Damon DiDonato.
Commission Vice Chair Davina Hurt also
suggested expanding the list of protected
trees while Commissioner Julia Mates said

State speeds water-efficiency

standards for faucets, urinals
By Fenit Nirappil
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO California regulators

are speeding up water-efficiency standards
for faucets and urinals in response to the
drought.
The new standards developed by the
California Energy Commission, approved
Wednesday, will require the appliances to
use less water when installed in homes and
office buildings starting in January 2016.
The standards take effect six months
ahead of schedule because of Gov. Jerry
Browns executive order last week imposing
sweeping water-saving measures. The order
also allows the commission to prohibit
stores from selling outdated models in
2016.
The new rules mean urinals cant flush
more than an eighth of a gallon, down from
half a gallon. All faucets were previously
allowed to pour 2.2 gallons a minute: The
updated standards lower that to 1.2 for home
bathrooms, 1.8 for kitchens and a half gallon for public bathrooms.
Low-flush toilets standards took effect in
2014 under legislation signed in 2007. The
commission also voted to lower its toilet
water standard from 1.6 gallons a flush to
1.28 gallons to match the law.
In the face of Californias current
drought, we must use water as efficiently as
possible and updating minimum standards
for toilets, urinals and faucets is a step in
that direction, energy commissioner
Andrew McAllister said in a news release.
The standards apply to new buildings and
installations and do not require retrofitting.
The higher standards arent likely going to
increase prices for consumers, commission
spokeswoman Amber Beck said.

San Francisco International Airport officials Thursday addressed media reports that
found SFO has among the most airport security breaches in the nation in the past
decade, saying numerous security improvements have been implemented in recent
years.
The Associated Press released information
obtained via public records requests that
found SFO has had 37 breaches of their 15mile security perimeter since 2004.
An average of three to four incidents occur
per year, but that number includes unintentional or inadvertent security breaches, SFO
spokesman Doug Yakel said at a news conference Thursday morning.
Out of those 37 incidents, only two of
them involved access to aircraft. One of
those incidents occurred in a maintenance

State-by-state battle waged

over conversion therapy bans
NEW YORK There have been several
setbacks this year for a state-by-state campaign to ban so-called conversion therapy
for gay, lesbian and transgender youth. But
the White House is now officially an ally,
and activists are hopeful of long-term success as they make a case that such treatments can have devastating consequences.
Groups advocating the bans were elated
on Wednesday when President Barack
Obama conveyed his support for measures
banning psychiatric therapy treatments
aimed at changing minors sexual orientation. Just hours earlier, a Colorado Senate
committee defeated a proposed ban bill
there.
I am hesitant to use the heavy hand of
government to take away the dignity of
choice in cases where individuals want this
therapy, said state Sen. Owen Hill, one of
three Republicans who outvoted two
Democrats on the committee to block the
bill after it had advanced out of the
Democratic-controlled House.
According to the National Center for
Lesbian Rights, which is a leader of the
multistate campaign, Colorado is one of 18
states where bans were being considered
this year. Bans were enacted in previous
years in California, New Jersey and
Washington, D.C., but at this stage its
possible only a handful of other states
perhaps Oregon and Illinois might join
them this year.

SAN FRANCISCO Doctors who work at

University of California student health centers are staging a rare four-day strike to

Staff physicians at the universitys five

their jobs on Thursday morning and plan to
return on Monday morning. Doctors at the
five campuses in Southern California are
scheduled to strike from Saturday until
Wednesday.
The health centers will remain open during the work stoppages and managers will
be tasked with treating patients, although
students may need to reschedule routine visits and pass through picket lines, university spokeswoman Shelly Meron said.
The 150 dentists, podiatrists and physicians are negotiating their first contract

Physicians and Dentists in 2013. They also
staged a one-day strike in January.
Union spokeswoman Suzanne Wilson

As far as bargaining goes, UC had ample
opportunity to settle the open issues after

grounds, Yakel said.
Six of the incidents occurred along the airports water perimeter in the San Francisco
Bay and four of them involved breaches of
the airports perimeter fencing. Security
breaches that occurred inside the airports
terminals were not included, Yakel said.
Sixteen of the security breaches discussed
during Thursday mornings news conference
involved homeless individuals or those facing mental challenges, Yakel said. He
linked those incidents to the presence of a
homeless shelter adjacent to the airport
perimeter.
Yakel said airport officials are engaged in
outreach with nearby homeless shelters in
an effort to ensure that their clients maintain a safe distance from the perimeter.
SFO has completed a number of security
improvements recently, including the

Theyve also increased security patrols
and staffing at vehicle checkpoints along
the perimeter, improved the barriers at
those checkpoints and enhanced the airports motion sensor alarm notification
system, he said.
The airport also has a number of security
improvements currently underway, including the expansion of a perimeter intrusion
detection system, according to Yakel.
Yakel said SFOs goal is to reduce the
number of security breaches to zero and they
are continuously working to improve the
airports perimeter protection.

Police warn of
new wave of IRS scams
Numerous new reports of phone scams
involving aggressive callers posing as members of the Internal Revenue Service requesting payment for alleged back taxes is
prompting the San Mateo Police Department
to emphasize that the tax agency never asks
for payments over the phone.
The majority of these scams, if not all,
involve subjects calling from outside of the
area and more often from outside the United
States. To ensure these scams are appropriately investigated, thus increasing the likelihood of the responsible suspects being located and prosecuted, the Inspector General of
the U.S. Treasury Department has set up an
online reporting system, according to
police.
In cooperation with the I.R.S. and to honor
their request to keep a centralized reporting
system for these incidents, the San Mateo
Police Department does not take reports of
these phone scams unless extenuating circumstances dictate otherwise. Instead, callers
will be referred to the I.R.S. so that the report
is handled appropriately and becomes part of
our collaborative investigative efforts with
the Internal Revenue Service, according to
police.

vehicle in a crosswalk in Redwood City
Thursday afternoon, according to firefighters.
The crash was reported at 3:53 p.m. in the
vicinity of El Camino Real and Finger

Training Chief Dan Abrams.
It was a pretty traumatic incident for her,
Abrams said. She was hit pretty hard. We just
took care of her and packaged her up with a
backboard to protect her neck and spine.
The woman had a bicycle with her at the
time of the crash, but it was not clear whether
shed been riding or walking the bicycle
through the crosswalk, according to Abrams.
Firefighters cleared the scene at roughly
4:15 p.m., Abrams said.
The crash remains under investigation by
police, and further details were not immediately available.

Two men are in jail after allegedly attempting to rob two others at a downtown
Burlingame parking lot during a marijuana

Hillsborough, and Diontae Antione Gayden,
19, of Burlingame, arranged a meeting at the
parking lot on the 1200 block of Donnelly
Avenue to buy marijuana, according to
police. Instead, the two pulled out a handgun,
assaulted the two men and robbed them both
of their marijuana. At least one shot was fired
as the victims fled the parking lot in their
vehicle, according to police.
No one was injured, according to police.
The victims reported the crime the following day and Burlingame police identified the

Police cruiser video shows moments before shooting

By Jeffery Collins
and Michael Biesecker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. The traffic stop starts like any other: an officer
pulls over a motorist, walks up to the drivers side window and asks for license and
registration. What happened minutes later
appears to take place without any obvious
sign of provocation or conflict: The driver
opens the door and runs, and the officer
chases after him.
Video released Thursday from the dashboard of white North Charleston police
Officer Michael Thomas Slagers cruiser
captures the very first moments he and
black motorist Walter Scott meet, a strikingly benign encounter at its earliest
stages. It changes within minutes as Scott
takes off running and the officer runs after
him.
The video captures the moments leading
up to a fatal shooting that has sparked outrage as the latest example of a white police
officer killing an unarmed black man. The
shooting itself was captured by an eyewitness on his iPhone and provided the impetus for the officer to be charged with murder
and fired.
But questions had remained how the traffic

stop turned deadly. The

dash cam video provides
a more complete picture
of the encounter.
Seth Stoughton, a former police officer and
criminal law professor at
the University of South
Carolina, said the dash
Michael Slager cam video shows nothing that would indicate
that such a routine traffic stop would escalate to a fatal shooting.
Its not entirely normal. Most people
dont run during traffic stops. But it is not
overly threatening or anything that should
take an officer aback, Stoughton said.
The shooting took place on Saturday and
the department and Slagers lawyer said the
officer fired in self-defense during a scuffle
over his department-issued Taser. Within
days, the eyewitness video surfaced and

Snap back? Not so fast. Sanctions a big issue in nuke talks

By Bradley Klapper and Matthew Lee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Snap back? Not so fast.

The biggest enforcement provision in the
preliminary nuclear agreement with Iran is
turning into one of the mostly hotly contested elements. And the debate barely
involves Iran.
Instead, it concerns the Obama adminis-

trations promise to quickly re-impose

sanctions on Iran if the Islamic Republic
cheats on any part of the agreement to limit
its nuclear program to peaceful pursuits.
This would be relatively straightforward
for the sanctions imposed by the U. S. , as
Congress is eager to keep the pressure on.
But it is far from clear whether President
Barack Obama can guarantee such action
at the United Nations, which has imposed
wide-ranging penalties that all U. N. mem-

bers must enforce.

At present, theres no firm agreement on
how or when to lift the sanctions in the first
place. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Irans
supreme leader, and President Hassan
Rouhani said Thursday they want all sanctions lifted on the first day of implementation. Thats not the position of U.S. and
other negotiators, a major issue that still
must be worked out.
Assuming it can be, that still would leave

the big question of possible re-imposition.

The disagreement on this issue is between
the U.S. and its European allies on one side,
and Russia and China on the other all
countries involved in the nuclear negotiations. And even though all six world powers
and Iran agreed last week to the framework
agreement that is supposed to be finalized
by June 30, the snapback mechanism for
U.N. sanctions remains poorly defined and
may prove unworkable.

Historic encounter with Cubas

Castro awaits Obama in Panama
By Josh Lederman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PANAMA CITY Turning the

page on a half-century of hostility,
President Barack Obama signaled
Thursday he will soon remove
Cuba from the U.S. list of state
sponsors of terrorism, boosting
hopes for improved ties as he prepared for a historic encounter with
Cuban President Raul Castro.
Hours before his arrival in
Panama for a regional summit,
Obama said the U.S. State
Department had finished its review
of Cubas presence on the list, a
stain on the island nations pride
and a major stumbling block for
efforts to mend U.S.-Cuba ties. A
top senator confirmed that the
agency had recommended removing Cuba from the list, all but
ensuring action by the president
within days.

Obama said during a visit to
Ki n g s t o n ,
Jamaica. When
something
Barack Obama doesnt work
for 50 years,
you dont just keep on doing it.
You try something new.
With his optimistic assessment,
Obama sought to set the tone for
the U.S. and Cuba to come closer
to closing the book on more than a
half-century of estrangement,
when he and Castro come face to
face at the Summit of the Americas.
Obama arrived Thursday evening in
Panama City.
The highly anticipated interaction with Castro will test the
power of personal diplomacy as

actively accusing Cuba of supporting terrorism, and Obama has hinted at his willingness to take Cuba

announced a thaw in relations in
December.

Letters to the editor

Planning for the
future of Central Park
Editor,
Thank you for the opportunity to
address the concerns being raised in
the community regarding plans for
our beloved Central Park, and the
future of our tennis courts and ball
eld in particular.
First and foremost, I want to dispel
the rumors that Fitzgerald Field or the
tennis courts are in peril of being
eliminated in the foreseeable future.
This simply is not true.
The Central Park Master Plan is an
ongoing process intended to guide
future enhancements and use of the
park. Based on the goals set by the
city and after extensive community
input, our consultants produced three
draft plans. None of these plans need
to be adopted in their entirety, and the
best features from each of them will
ultimately be incorporated into a nal
draft. That will only happen after
exhaustive reviews and much more
opportunity for our community to
participate in the process. None of
the Central Park Master Plan is funded, and it is really a vision for the
future rather than an imminent project.
I am condent that we will be able
to design a long-term concept that
will preserve the treasured and historic recreational features of our park
and blend in new renovations that
will enhance its beauty, enjoyment
and accessibility for everyone.
I encourage all of our residents to
stay informed, stay involved and take
the time to explore the park. Its gratifying to serve such an engaged and
interested community, and together
we will make our Central Park a model
of urban open space that will continue to be the jewel of San Mateo. I
know I speak for all members of City
Council in saying that we welcome
and value your comments and ideas.

San Mateo in need of ice rink

Editor,
San Mateo is not lacking in retail
stores. In fact, San Mateo has so
many retail stores, resulting in multiple stores in the same categories
(ofce supplies, pet supplies stores,
sporting goods, discount retailers,
etc.). The one thing San Mateo does
not have, that it had for 30 years, is
an ice rink. SPI Holdings offerings
of $3 million does not come close to
replacing the value of the ice rink to
the community.

SPI Holdings knew when it purchased the mall that the land required
the use of the rink. SPI showed bad
faith by closing the rink instead of
keeping it open while working
toward a solution for all parties. The
irony of the ice rink building being
vacant for nearly two years now is
that it gives the appearance that no
one wants to run a business there.
The nearby rinks in Belmont and
Redwood City are at capacity and
unpleasant to skate during a weekend
public session: it is just too crowded.
We need the rink open again.

Kimberley Cane
Foster City

Save our activities

Editor,
We must save the tennis courts,
baseball eld and ice rink in San
Mateo. Why should Dennis Wong and
the rest of the staff of SPI Holdings
prot from closing what we need so
badly (the ice rink)? I have said
before that Michelle Obama has
fought for people not to be obese in
this country help her stay true to
her words. SPI and the greed they are
presenting is sending a message that
it is OK to pad pockets with money
and have people sitting at home with
no activities to do. Shopping online
is the trend. Tennis is huge, baseball
is huge and Central Park is part of San
Mateo.
Our ice rink, which has now been
shut for over two years, could be open
and being used on a daily basis. SPI
has shut the doors on our recreational
skating, gure skaters, hockey players of all ages, people with disabilities, fundraisers and family outings
on the ice. Please open it. We now
have an American Hockey League
hockey team coming to the area,
which will boost skating even more
for all ages. Three million dollars is a
joke how about $6 million or $7
million and still open our rink and
save Central Park?
City, please stand tall, be strong,
open and save what is so desperately
needed in the area. Ask yourself
where and what will my kids, family
and friends do with no activities to
do?
The list of closures is getting
longer: ice rink, bowling alleys,
miniature golf, Malibu go-karts. Next
will be baseball eld and tennis
courts. This is not OK.

Stop pointing fingers

over ongoing drought

Central Park
Editor,
I appreciate all the comments about
saving Central Park but face it, once
an idea hits the City Council its a
done deal. Oh they talk a good game
about community outreach and listening to the citizens and taking their
suggestions seriously but in the end
the project that the City Council
wants is going to go forward. Plan on
the baseball eld being bulldozed for
open lawn area. The entire ball eld
is open lawn area and has been used as
that for decades, besides the kids
dont need THAT particular ball eld
anyway. One thousand two hundred
plus children dont vote! Plan on the
tennis courts vanishing, multi-story
parking garage being built in its
place (after all who plays tennis anymore?) and Im sure the Japanese Tea
Garden will be eliminated also.
Deemed a 21st-century health risk or
some such thing. Koi you know.
Just because you have the power to
do something doesnt mean you
should. How much more concrete do
you plan on placing in what used to
be a great town? I for one have
watched the quality of life deteriorate
in this town over the past 55 years.
Perhaps the City Council should
think about the citizens who live
here, pay taxes here and hope to raise
their children here and not their
egos.

Speaking from both

sides of ones mouth
Editor,
Gov. Jerry Brown is now demanding a 35 percent reduction in water
consumption, as has been widely
reported in your pages.
This is the same governor who
requires our city to approve additional
housing development, including
affordable housing.
While it will not signicantly
affect water consumption in the
immediate future, deleting all requirement to approve additional development by the county and cities until
sufcient water, trafc capacity and
schools are provided for, seems only
common sense.

ince the dawn of the human race, most conicts

have centered around resources. So it is no surprise
that the ongoing drought is causing nger-pointing
among Californians. Still, as someone with a keen interest
in our states history and legacy industries, it is disappointing.
Some say it is all the new workers in the population centers. Others say it the Central Valley farmers, particularly
almond growers, who suck up water for thirsty crops.
The real solution to our drought is obvious, we need it to
rain and snow a lot. But for many longtime Californians
who know these droughts come
in cycles, the stress is not necessarily the lack of precipitation
but rather the politicization of
that lack of precipitation. In this
area that benets from the Hetch
Hetchy water delivery system it
is easy to point ngers elsewhere. After all, we can simply
drive by the Crystal Springs
Reservoir and see that it is still
relatively full. Its the other areas
that need to conserve, we might
say.
So we point the ngers at the
Central Valley and its farmers
who some say use 80 percent of our states water and only
contribute to 2 percent of the states economy (Others say
41 percent). Granted, fruit and vegetables arent high-ticket
items and you need to produce quite a bit to make money.
But one way to get that cost higher would be to further limit
the water supply than what has already been cut. Prices will
rise for everyone. And farmers have already been denied federal water and have left elds to fallow. That has a direct
impact on not only them, but farmworkers and communities built up around them. They are suffering. What have we
done? Take two minutes off our shower? Not ask for water at
a restaurant? Thats simplistic, of course, many people
have done what they can to conserve and are interested in
doing more. But the fact of the matter is that we have not
been required to. We will, and as much as it pains me to
think this, it cant come soon enough.
When asked to voluntarily cut back, some do, some
dont. Others increase their water usage so when the mandatory restrictions come, the percentage is not as much. After
all, if youve already let your lawn die and are conserving as
much as possible, its hard to fathom how you might cut
back 25 percent. Shower every other day? So as painful as
mandatory cutbacks might be, its best to get them underway and get used to them.
You see, as Californians, weve been through this before.
Droughts happen and they have an impact. It might seem
worse now because our population is higher and there is
more politicization around the issue. I have wondered why
there is such fervent energy against farmers and suspect it
might have something to do with the Delta water tunnel
debate that has pitted farmers against those interested in
maintaining the Delta smelt habitat. Again, a conict over
resources and centered in an argument over the environment
versus agriculture. Pointing ngers at environmentalists is
not particularly helpful either.
Still, I dont like seeing the drought be used to ramp up a
political ght. Its unnecessary and worrisome, particularly
when it targets an industry that provides us with our fruit
and vegetables. Perhaps its because California would not
be what it is today without the pioneer legacy of the farming industry that helped build it in the rst place. Perhaps
its because locally grown food is important and is a critical
industry for our state, despite its small contribution to our
overall enormous economy. It may not seem like it in this
age of technology, but Californias farms are intrinsically
important and we should not be deciding who should lose
based on our own selsh wants and political agendas. It is
also a matter of trying to keep our state as whole as possible during a trying time. Why would we want to destroy an
entire segment of our economy, while hurting workers,
farming towns and auxiliary industries like shipping and
processing, so we wont have to make our own cutbacks?
Granted, farmers have years of water rights trenched in
the states laws, and Gov. Jerry Brown said this past weekend that those rights, while warranted, will likely be examined. Thats a responsible approach, and I appreciate the
governor expressing a realistic portrayal of the importance
of the farming industry and the sacrices it has already
made. Its probably because hes been around them, knows
their issues and understands. More should be made of that.
Perhaps this is a romanticized view, but I recall the
drought in the 1970s and how we all cut back as much as
possible. We did it because we had to, because we were a
collective society that pulled together to do our part. Its
time for us all to do our part and stop pointing ngers at
others. Bring on the mandatory cutbacks and pray for rain.
Cmon, weve been through this before and we can get
through this together without conict. Were better than
that.

Big movers
Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Thursday on the New
York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market:
NYSE
Alcoa Inc., down 46 cents to $13.21
The aluminum maker posted a first-quarter profit that beat Wall Street
expectations but its revenue fell short of forecasts.
Pier 1 Imports Inc., up $1.14 to $13.79
The home decor company reported better-than-expected fiscal fourthquarter profit, but revenue results fell short of forecasts.

expanded cost-reduction push.

LinkedIn Corp., up $3.88 to $256.14
The online professional networking company is buying online learning

NEW YORK U.S. stocks edged

higher Thursday, led by gains for energy companies as the price of oil stabilized following a big drop the day
before.
Oil rose as negotiations with Iran
over its nuclear program hit a snag.
That could mean Iranian oil will continue to be held back from the international market by sanctions.
Investors were also assessing some
mixed news on company earnings.
Drugstore chain Walgreens climbed
after reporting earnings that surpassed
the expectations of Wall Street analysts. The company also said it would
expand a cost-cutting program. Alcoa
and Bed, Bath & Beyond dropped after
delivering earnings reports that disappointed investors.
For the first time in years, the outlook for earnings could prove to be
more of a hindrance than a help to
stock investors in coming weeks.
Companies in the S&P 500 are
expected to report that average earnings per share shrank by 3.1 percent
in the first quarter, according to S&P
Capital IQ. If the forecast proves accurate, it will be the first time since
2009, when the U.S. economy was
emerging from the Great Recession,
that earnings have contracted.
If the U. S. market is going to

advance this year, its going to need to

advance mostly on the back of earnings, said Russ Koesterich, chief
investment strategist at BlackRock.
The guidance going forward is going
to be critical for the market.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
rose 9.28 points, or 0.5 percent, to
2,091.18. The Dow Jones industrial
average rose 56.22 points, or 0.3 percent, to 17,958.73. The Nasdaq composite gained 23.74 points, or 0.5
percent, to 4,974.56.
After six years of gains, U.S. stocks
have made only modest advances this
year. A big slump in oil prices since
June last year have hit profits at energy companies and a surge in the U.S.
dollar is hurting multi-national corporations that have a lot of sales overseas. Investors are also unsettled by
the prospect of the Federal Reserves
first interest rate increase after more
than six years of near-zero rates.
While U.S. stocks have struggled to
gain traction this year, markets in
Europe have surged.
On Thursday, the Stoxx Europe 600,
an index that tracks large and mediumsized companies in Europe, closed at a
record 409.15, surpassing the previous record of 405.50 set in March,
2000 during the technology boom.
Stocks in the region are getting a
boost from a combination of
European Central Bank stimulus, a
weaker euro and low oil prices.

The index is up almost 20 percent

this year. By contrast, the S&P 500
index is up 1.6 percent, so far.
Walgreens was one of the days
biggest gainers on the U.S. market.
The companys stock jumped
$4.94, or 5.6 percent, to $92.62 after
it earnings surpassed analysts expectations. The drugstore chain said it
will shutter about 200 U.S. stores as
part of an expanded cost reduction
push.
Alcoa was among the losers.
The company posted a first-quarter
profit that beat Wall Street expectations, but its revenue fell short.
Alcoa is striving to transform itself
from an aluminum maker into a supplier for the auto and aerospace industries, making it less sensitive to
swings in commodity prices. Analysts
were disappointed by the outlook for
the companys rolled metal products,
which include sheets used for drinks
and food cans. Alcoas stock dropped
46 cents, or 3.4 percent, to $13.21.
Bed Bath & Beyond also slumped
after reporting earnings.
The results for the housewares retailer fell short of the expectations of
Wall Street analysts. Its earnings outlook was also less than forecast.
Wedbush analyst Seth Basham
described the outlook as somber and
said the companys profitability was
being threatened more and more by
online competition.

European stocks, boosted by stimulus, hit all-time high

By Steve Rothwell and Carlo Piovano
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

If you wanted evidence that the economy

and the stock market are two different things,
look no further than Europe.
European stocks have surged this year. On
Thursday they closed at an all-time high,
even as the outlook for economic growth
remains fragile and the region grapples to
find a definitive way to deal with the ongoing
Greek debt crisis.
Economic growth in the region is projected to reach just 1.4 percent this year, compared with 3.1 percent in the U.S., according

to the most recent forecasts from the

Organization for Economic Co-operation and
Economic Development.
The Stoxx Europe 600, an index that tracks
large and medium-sized companies in Europe,
has surged almost 20 percent this year. On
Thursday, the index climbed 1.1 percent to
409.15 points, surpassing the previous
record of 405.50 set in March, 2000 during
the technology boom.
Stocks in Europe are jumping after the
European Central Bank announced an
expanded 1.1 trillion euro ($1.2 billion)
bond-buying program in January to boost the

and private-sector bonds, the ECB aims to

keep market interest rates low, which encourages lending and, by extension, economic
growth. The euro region, a net oil importer, is
also benefiting from falling energy costs and
a weakening euro.
There are some nice tailwinds to Europe,
said W. Janet Dougherty, a global investment
specialist in Chicago for JPMorgan Private
Bank. They have low rates and very low
energy prices there and then added on top of
that ... the low euro is going to be very beneficial.
Bond yields in Europe are at historically
low levels. The yield on the 10-year bench-

mark German government bond, which started the year at 0.55 percent, has fallen to just
0.16 percent. The combination of falling
bond yields and the comparatively weak outlook for the regions economy has also had
the side effect of weakening the euro against
the dollar. That gives a lift to the regions
exporters, making goods produced in Europe
cheaper to overseas buyers. It should also
draw tourists to the region.
The euro has fallen 12 percent against the
dollar since the start of the year. The euro is
currently trading at $1.06 and many analysts
expect it to fall to parity with the U.S. currency this year.

PC sales declined again in first quarter

By Brandon Bailey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

One big reason for the decline was

Elder care costs keep climbing;

nursing home bill now $91K
NEW YORK The steep cost of caring for the elderly continues to climb.
The median bill for a private room in a
nursing home is now $91,250 a year,
according to an industry survey out
Thursday.
The annual Cost of Care report from
Genworth Financial tracks the staggering rise in expenses for long-term care,
a growing financial burden for families,
governments and insurers like
Genworth. The cost of staying in a
nursing home has increased 4 percent
every year over the last five years, the
report says. Last year, the median bill
was $87,600. Most people dont realize how expensive this care can be until
a parent or family member needs it,
said Joe Caldwell, director of long-term
services at the National Council on
Aging. And then its a real shock.
The annual report from Genworth,
which sells policies to cover long-term
care, looks at costs for a variety of serv-

puters, according to the Gartner

research firm. It noted companies have
mostly finished replacing older PCs
that used outdated Windows XP software.
PC sales may get a boost later this
year when Microsoft Corp. releases its
next version of Windows, analysts
said, but theyre still expecting an
overall decline in sales for this year.
One bright spot identified by
Gartner was an increase in sales of lap-

Gap Inc.s key sales

metric up 2 percent in March
NEW YORK Gap Inc. reported a 2
percent increase in a key revenue metric
for March as surging business at Old
Navy offset sales declines at its namesake division and its Banana Republic
stores.
The results, which were released after
the regular markets closed on Thursday,
beat estimates for a 0.6 percent increase
in sales in stores open at least a year,
according to Thompson Reuters. But
the figure was compared to a 6 percent
drop in the same year-ago period.
Shares fell in after-hours trading.
Revenue from stores open at least a
year is considered a key indicator of
retail performance because it strips
away the impact of recently opened or
closed stores.

combine features of tablets and laptops. That could help drive a gradual
return to growth by next year, said
Gartner analyst Mikako Kitagawa.
Gartner estimates PC makers

year earlier. A second research firm, the
International Data Corp., used different methods to estimate a decline of
6.7 percent.

LinkedIn buying Lynda.com

for $1.5 billion in cash and stock
NEW YORK LinkedIn is buying
Lynda.com for about $1.5 billion in a
cash-and-stock deal, adding the online
learning and professional development
company to its professional networking offerings.
Mountain View, California-based
LinkedIn said Thursday that it will pay
for the Carpinteria, California-based
company with a combination of 52 percent cash and 48 percent stock. The deal
is expected to close during the second
quarter. It is by far LinkedIns largest
acquisition so far, and one that should
help the 12-year-old company expand
its audience and the market it serves.
We believe this deal makes a lot of
sense for the leading professional network, since it would empower employees/subscribers to develop or further
refine their skills (instead of simply
reporting them on a profile page),

Squali in a note to investors.

There is simply no quit in Yazmeen Goo.

Westmoors senior point guard capped a
remarkable career this season, leading the
Rams to their third consecutive undefeated
record in Peninsula Athletic League North
Division play.
There was heartbreak to follow, as
Westmoor would fall in the
Peninsula
Athletic
League
Tournament finals to MenloAtherton. Then in the Central
Coast Section Division II playoffs, Goos varsity career
came to an end with a 40-33
loss to St. Francis.
Goo didnt give up without
a fight in her CCS swan song
though. The senior scored 23
of Westmoors 33 points in
the game, marking a new season high in trying to put the
team on her shoulders like
she did so many times in her
four years as a varsity starter.
I think she was as effective
as usual, Westmoor head coach
Mike Keough said. It was just
one of those games where you
could see she had that focus and she
was going to be able to do whatever
she could to get us to that CCS championship game.
To talk to Goo about the loss is to get an
entirely different take. She quickly points
out she missed two free throws in the closing
minutes. She reinforces the notion she could
have, and should have, done more to help her
team to the elusive CCS championship game.
Yet her respect for the opponent is evident as she
readily offers a tip of the cap to a St. Francis team
that Westmoor defeated earlier in the regular season.
All around, theyre a very good team, Goo
said. I think the first game they werent expecting us to come out of the gates how we did. So, I

If there was any question if the Woodside

softball team was legitimate, the Wildcats
answered that with a strong performance
against Hillsdale Thursday afternoon in San
Mateo.
Woodside pitcher Kaitlyn Grech kept a
potent Hillsdale lineup off balance all game
long, allowing just one hit and striking out
four. She retired the last 10 batters she
faced.
But Hillsdale showed how elite teams
win games when things arent going their
way. The Knights scored three runs without
a hit and pitcher Eryn McCoy was just as
dominant as her counterpart as Hillsdale
escaped with a 3-0 lead.
It was a good game, said Woodside
coach Justine Fortes. Just that one inning
(cost us).
Hillsdale (6-0 PAL Bay, 10-6 overall)
took advantage of some sloppy Wildcats
play in the second inning to score all its
runs. A hit batter, a couple of passed balls, a
walk, a fielders choice and a groundout
resulted in three runs for Hillsdale as
Woodside (3-2, 10-3) committed a couple of
physical and mental errors in the
frame as well.
Hillsdales Lauren Quirke led off the
inning by getting hit by a pitch and ended
up moving around to third on a couple of
passed balls by the Woodside catcher.
Bailey Nestor followed and, on a 3-2
pitch, took ball four, but she hesitated in
going down to first. As the Woodside
infielders gathered near the pitchers circle,
Nestor alertly moved to second with no one
covering the bag to put runners at second
and third with no outs.
I dont think the girls realized the game
was live, Fortes said. You could see they
were like deer in the headlights.
Quirke picked up Hillsdales only hit of

Aragon holds off San Mateo in boys tennis

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Aragon boys tennis head coach Dave

Owdon wasnt taking anything for granted,
even after a 7-0 defeat of San Mateo earlier
this season.
Thursdays rematch proved a much closer
battle, especially without Aragons No. 2
single Landers Ngirchemat, who missed his
second consecutive match due to injury.
Owdens Dons (7-3 in PAL Bay) proved deep
enough to overcome the loss of its junior
though, holding off San Mateo for a 4-3 victory to maintain a slight second-place lead
in the Peninsula Athletic League Bay

Division standings.
The Dons No. 1 and No. 3 singles set the
tone early. No. 1 singles player Matt Fowler
cruised to a 6-2, 6-1 victory, while No. 3
David Wong won 6-2, 6-3.
But as the team match wound down deadlocked in a 3-3 tie, it was Aragons No. 2
doubles tandem Tony Wang and Sameer Jain
who sealed the deal with a gritty 6-2, 7-5 (73) win.
For Owdon, however, theres a benefit of
playing close matches.
I hope my guys can get into [the CCS
playoffs], so its good were playing good
teams, Owdon said. I hope all these
matches make a difference. Were playing
tough people.

Owden knows how quickly fortunes can

turn on the PAL tennis circuit. Two years
ago, Aragon dropped its final matchup with
Carlmont in a landslide 7-0 loss. Two weeks
later, when the two teams matched up in the
PAL playoffs, Aragon prevailed 4-3.
Thursday, San Mateo would have turned
the tables as such had it not been for the perseverance of Wang and Jain. The tandem
battled to a second-set tiebreaker, feeling
confident as the Bearcats No. 2 doubles
Mayur Ejjaghalatta and Matt Huang tried to
force a third set.
Coming in, we were in control of the
set, Wang said. We would have won it earlier had it not been for a couple mistakes on
our part. So we were confident coming in.

Aragon ultimately scored match point

when Wang hit a low shot with good pace
and forced San Mateos lob attempt to go
long. But the determining factor through
the entirety of the match was the Dons
sharp serving, said Jain.
[Our serving is] very on and off, Jain
said. It depends on the day and how were
playing that day. Today was a good day for
serving for us.

Rangers gain series split with 10-1 win

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND With a walk, a couple of hits

and a throwing error before he even retired his
first batter, Kendall Gravemans Oakland
debut was nothing like his brilliant spring
training.
Graveman was knocked out in the fourth
inning after allowing home runs to Shin-Soo
Choo and Mitch Moreland and the Athletics
fell 10-1 to the Texas Rangers on Thursday.
I didnt make a lot of pitches and I didnt
locate well and they made me pay for it,
Graveman said.
It was a far cry from his first spring with the
As after being acquired in the offseason from
Toronto in the Josh Donaldson deal. He
allowed just one earned run in six starts and
his 0.36 ERA was the lowest in the majors.
But he gave up three runs in a sloppy first,
followed by Morelands two-run homer in the
third and Choos three-run shot in the fourth
that ended his day early. Graveman (0-1)
allowed eight runs seven earned and
seven hits in 3 1-3 innings.
He was in fast forward today and couldnt
slow himself down, catcher Stephen Vogt
said. We talked about that in the first inning
but he was excited. Were not worried about
him. Hes going to pitch some great games
for us.
Adrian Beltre and Rougned Odor added solo
home runs for the Rangers, who were shut out
twice and held to three runs total in the first
three games.
Its always nice to go out and put some
runs on the board, create a lot of opportunity, Moreland said. We really set the pace
early there. It kind of carried over throughout
the game.
The early offense gave Nick Martinez (1-0)
plenty of support and helped Texas earn a
split of the season-opening four-game series.
Martinez gave up four hits in seven scoreless innings, his sixth straight start with two

or fewer earned runs allowed.

Having that run support early and often
definitely gives you that extra confidence
that you need, Martinez said.
Gravemans day got off to an inauspicious
start when he walked Leonys Martin to lead
off the game, allowed a single to Choo and
then made a throwing error on a pickoff throw
to second.
Thats when things really got weird. The
Rangers scored their first run when Beltre hit
a grounder to third base and Vogt dropped
Brett Lawries throw home for an error.
After an RBI single by Prince Fielder and a
sacrifice fly by Moreland, Elvis Andrus hit a
grounder to Lawrie with runners on first and
third. Lawrie threw to second for the force,
but umpire Doug Eddings ruled Eric Sogards
foot was off the bag. Sogard then threw home
and Fielder was caught in a rundown.
The As challenged the play and the umpires
ruled Sogard kept his foot in on the bag for a
5-4-2-5-2-6 double play.
The Rangers, held to three runs in the first
three games, put the game away with their
first four home runs of the season. Beltres
was the most impressive, a shot hit with his
back knee on the ground.
Id seen him a couple of times hit a homer
like that, Choo said. Id seen it on TV
before but to see it in a game is a little bit different than on TV. Pretty impressive.

Norris, leading off the sixth inning by
launching a high fastball deep into the leftfield seats for his 655th career homer.
Rodriguez, moved up to second in the New
York Yankees lineup against a lefty, tossed
his bat aside and rounded the bases without
any fanfare, though the drive invigorated a
small crowd on a cold night at Yankee
Stadium.
It was A-Rods first home run since Sept.
20, 2013, against San Francisco reliever
George Kontos. The slugger ranks fifth on
the career list, five behind Willie Mays.

Bauer, 3 Indians relievers

lose no-hit bid in 9th vs Astros
HOUSTON Jed Lowrie broke up a combined no-hit bid by Cleveland with a oneout home run in the ninth inning Thursday,
and the Indians beat the Houston Astros 5-1.
Indians starter Trevor Bauer was pulled
after throwing 111 pitches through six
innings. He struck out a career-high 11 and
walked five.
Relievers Kyle Crockett and Scott
Atchison each pitched a scoreless innings
before Hagadone took over.
Hagadone struck out Chris Carter to begin
the ninth. Lowrie then sent a 94 mph fastball far over the left-center field wall for
Houstons only hit.
The Indians have not pitched a no-hitter
since Len Baker threw a perfect game in
1981 against Toronto.
Cleveland opened its season Monday
night, when ace Corey Kluber held Houston
hitless until Jose Altuves two-out single in
the sixth.

Carlmont 5, Riordan 0

season on the mound. He worked the rst
four innings, allowing just two hits. Ryan
Giberton picked up his fourth save of the
season, entering in the bottom of the seventh with no outs and the bases loaded. He
ended up striking out two, leaving the bases
juiced to end the game.
Aaron Pleschner paced the Scots offense,
drilling two doubles, scoring a pair of runs
and driving in one. Julian Billot and Alex
Smith also picked up RBIs.

Giants beat Padres in 12 Spieths 64 lowest

opening Masters
round in 19 years
By Bernie Wilson

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO The pressure for Justin

Maxwell was to make the San Francisco
Giants in spring training, which he did as a
non-roster invitee.
So there wasnt much to stress about
Thursday, when he delivered a pinch-hit RBI
single with two outs in the 12th inning and
the San Francisco Giants spoiled the newlook San Diego Padres home opener with a
1-0 victory.
The Giants won despite being held to six
hits by six pitchers.
My season started as soon as spring
training started, Maxwell said. I had to
perform to get on this team.
The lone run came against Nick Vincent
(0-1) in a rally that consisted of an error, an
intentional walk and Maxwells single.
Brandon Crawford reached with one out
when backpedaling shortstop Clint Barmes
dropped his pop fly in shallow left. With
two outs, Gregor Blanco was intentionally
walked before Maxwell, batting for winner
George Kontos, singled up the middle.
I was just trying to hit the ball hard,
Maxwell said. He made some tough pitches
and I faced him a few years ago so I kind of
knew what he threw. When Crawford got on
base there, then they walked Blanco in front
of me, so I was ready to hit.
Kontos (1-0) allowed one hit and struck
out two in 1 2/3 innings.
Santiago Casilla pitched the 12th for his
third save in as many chances.
The Padres had runners reach third base in
both the ninth and 10th innings. Overall
they stranded 10, including six at third base.
San Franciscos Angel Pagan legged out a
triple into the gap in right-center off new
Padres closer Craig Kimbrel leading off the
ninth. Kimbrel walked Buster Posey before
getting Crawford to pop up and Casey
McGhee to hit into a double play.
Earlier in his at-bat, Pagan said something to catcher Derek Norris and umpire
Greg Gibson warned both dugouts. Kimbrel
threw a high-and-tight 97 mph fastball for
ball two.
Padres starter Ian Kennedy left after
straining his left hamstring while making a
pitch to Nori Aoki with one out in the third
inning. He signaled to the dugout that

Brandon Morrow, retired 14 straight batters. He inherited a 2-1 count to Aoki. Aoki

Despaigne then breezed through four perfect

including two by Jedd Gyorko.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AUGUSTA, Ga. Jordan Spieth pulled off

the unthinkable Thursday. With the best opening round in 19 years, he managed to make the
Masters about a lot more than the Grand Slam
bid of Rory McIlroy and the curious return of
Tiger Woods.
Spieth was must-see TV with his 8-under 64
on a steamy afternoon at Augusta National.
Its one of the better
rounds Ive ever played, he
said.
That wasnt the case for
McIlroy, though his round
wasnt awful. The worlds
No. 1 player saved par four
times on the front nine and
scratched out a 71. Woods
had three birdies in his
Jordan Spieth round of 73, and while it
was the first time since
2007 that he shot over par in the first round of
the Masters, it was looked upon as progress.
Plus, his short game looked like it was close to
being back to normal.
But the day belonged to Spieth, a 21-year-old
Texan who at least got into the Masters record
book as the youngest to lead after the first
round.
An even more significant record was within
his reach, and he didnt even know it.
Spieth ran off six birdies in a seven-hole
stretch to reach 8 under through 14 holes, and
the last of those birdies summed up a day when
hardly anything went wrong. He hit a 7-iron out
of the pines and began barking instructions to
the golf ball as he often does. He didnt realize it
smacked right into the pin and settled a few feet
away until he heard the reaction from delirious
fans around the green that suspected they were
watching something special.
Almost.
Spieth hit hybrid over the green on the par-5
15th, chipped cautiously up the slope and threeputted from the fringe for a bogey. He closed
with a 20-foot birdie putt for his 64, the best

Sports brief

first-round score at Augusta since Greg

Normans 63 in 1996. It gave Spieth a threeshot lead over Ernie Els, Jason Day, Justin Rose
and Charley Hoffman.
Spieth was thinking about 62. He had never
shot 10-under par as a pro.
I wasnt aware what the course record was
here, let alone that it actually would have been
the lowest round in major championship history. So thats a little frustrating, Spieth said
before he paused with a wry smile. But Im certainly OK with the day.
It wasnt that big of a surprise.
Spieth shared the 54-hole lead last year at
Augusta with Bubba Watson until a four-shot
swing over the last two holes of the front nine
as Watson pulled away. Plus, he might have
been the hottest player coming into this
Masters.
He won at Innisbrook in a three-man playoff.
He was runner-up at the Texas Open. And he lost
in a three-man playoff at the Houston Open just
four days ago. The biggest challenge he faced
was to keep his expectations from growing
taller than a Georgia pine, and to make sure he
was plenty rested.
Whatever the formula, it worked.
What a player, Els said after a 67, his best
score at the Masters since the day Phil
Mickelson beat him with a birdie on the last
hole in 2004. You just cannot see this kid not
win many, many majors. I think he is by far the
most balanced kid Ive seen. Jordan, hes got
that little tenacity to him and hes really got a
fighting spirit, and hes the nicest kid in the
world. ... Hes a special kid.
Els played the par 5s in 5 under and briefly had
the lead until Spieth went on his birdie spree.
Hoffman finished with an eagle and two birdies
over his last four holes.
Day looked to be the most dangerous. Twice a
contender at Augusta in the last four years, he
made five straight birdies on the back nine until
he lost momentum with a bogey from the
bunker on the 17th. Still, three shots behind
after one round wasnt a bad place to be.

Local baseball brief

Crystal Springs 11, KIPP King 10
Crystal Springs Uplands (5-1 in PAL
Lake, 10-1 overall) won another walk-off
thriller, this time at the expense of KIPP
King-San Lorenzo Thursday in nonleague
action at Sea Cloud Park.
With the score deadlocked at 10-10 in the
bottom of the seventh, Tim Stiles sparked a
rally with a leadoff single. Stiles then
swiped second before Chris Flohr put a ball
into play and the KIPP King defense committed a game-ending error allowing Stiles
to score the game-winner.
Josh Goodwine got the win to improve to
2-1. Goodwine entered amid an 8-7 Crystal
Springs lead with two on and no outs in the
sixth. KIPP King went on to score three in
the inning to take a 10-8 lead. But the
Gryphons answered back with two runs,
tying it on a bases-loaded single by
Brandon Chu.
With the win, second-place Crystal
Springs keeps pace in the Peninsula Athletic
League Lake Division standings, 1 1/2
games back of first-place Mills (7-0, 7-9).

Ive actually always had a pretty good
serve, Fowler said. Ive been tall for a
while.
While it is a big week for the Aragon seniors Friday night is prom night the
last week of March is a tough one to top for
Fowler, who found out he was accepted to
Stanford academically March 28.
While Fowler wont play for the Stanford
tennis team, he has aspirations to catch on
with the Stanford Club Tennis team. He
should be comfortable with the digs, as he
has trained at the Player Capital Tennis club

think the second game they were more aware
of what we would do. I think they were very
prepared. For us, shots just werent falling.
Our shooting, wed had better days.
The close of the 2014-15 campaign marked
the end of a long journey not just for Goo, but
for the two other four-year varsity starters:
Marlene Alcantara and Nora Alataua. It is also
the end of an era for Keough, as the third-year
coach inherited the upstart mix of underclassmen in his first season of 2012-13.
It didnt take long for Keough to identify
his emerging point guard as a special talent.
At first I thought it was potential,
Keough said. And then I think she grew into
one of the best girls to ever go to Westmoor.
As a senior, Goo led the Rams with a double-digit scoring average. She also paced the
squad in assists. She shared PAL North
Division MVP honors with Terra Novas
Arianna Sheehy. But Westmoors 83-31 overyears. According to
Fowler, his serve tops
out at 110 mph.
Fowler said hes feeling pretty good about
Aragons season going
forward. No one is going
to contend with undefeated Menlo-Atherton for
Matt Fowler the PAL Bay Division
crown. But with that
crown comes a bye in the PAL tournament,
which is a keen motivator for the Dons.
Were doing pretty good right now,
Fowler said. I feel we can definitely win
[the PAL tourney] this year. I feel we can do
well in CCS too.

Bearcats shake up lineup

In addition to the Ngirchemat injury, San
Mateo was able to turn Thursdays match

THE DAILY JOURNAL

all record over Goos four seasons including a 43-3 mark in PAL North Division play
and a 36-0 league record over the past three
seasons stands alone.
Its definitely rare when you get a player
like that, Keough said. I was lucky to have
coached her.
Goos basketball virtuosity started in Daly
city with her hometown park-and-rec league
when she was in grade school. She quickly
moved to the AAU stage though, taking up
with her first travel team as a fifth grader with
San Franciscos Mission Rec Rebels. She
moved on to the San Francisco Eagles in middle school then changed briefly to Game Time
at the outset of her Westmoor career.
Following her sophomore season though,
she went back to the Eagles under their new
name, Golden City.
Through all the AAU coaching expertise
Goo has received, however, she cites her
father, Sullivan, as her most influential basketball mentor.
Hes always been my main motivator,
Goo said. He taught me all my skills, of
course, because hes the one I worked out with
most of the time. The main thing he enforced
upon me was to never give up.

That she doesnt. Her performance in the

CCS semifinals against St. Francis was one
of many to exemplify Goos no-quit attitude.
She was focusing and she just had the drive
the entire time, Keough said. She kept pushing herself and the team as well. She knew
what she had to do. Even in our last two losses,
she stepped up because she knew she had to.
She earned Keoughs respect early in her
career, to the point where Goo not only
served as the team captain; she called all the
shots on the floor with little interference
from the sidelines.
For the most part, we let them run as much
as possible and made adjustments when we
had to, Keough said. But during her junior
year, it was more like, just let her go with it.
Goos efforts culminated in a full athletic
scholarship to play Division-II basketball at
the University of Alaska, Anchorage, where if
the Seawolves arent careful, Goos fiery play
may just melt the ice of The Last Frontier.
I think she was always really smart,
Keough said. She has the basketball IQ for a
point guard. I think that was always her
strong suit. She could always score the ball of
course. Her biggest growth is just having that
killer instinct.

into a nail-biter with a

key lineup change. The
Bearcats benefitted from
head
coach
John
Daquioags decision to
move one of his best
players, senior Danny
Pantuso, from singles
play into the No. 1 douDanny Pantuso bles team.
Pantuso has teamed
with fellow senior Peter Lowe for a 6-3, 6-3
win, marking their second victory in as
many matches. They also won in their debut
Tuesday against Carlmont.
Pantuso actually petitioned his coach at
the beginning of the year to play doubles. It
wasnt until minutes before Tuesdays
Carlmont match he was notified he would at
last get the assignment he wanted.
I just prefer doubles, Pantuso said. I

like the camaraderie. You can lean on somebody but also support them.
The chemistry between Pantuso and Lowe
was instant. Even though they had never
played as a doubles team in an organized
tennis match until this week, the two have
been friends and teammates since their days
at Crocker Middle School. According to
Lowe, Pantusos talent has much to do with
the tandems instant success.
Danny is a good leader and hes one of
the best players on our team, Lowe said.
So he finds ways to make whoever hes
playing with better.
In Thursdays other matches, San Mateos
No. 2 single Phalgun Krishna won 6-3, 6-3;
San Mateos No. 4 single Marland Cheng
won 6-4, 6-2; and Aragons No. 3 doubles

scored 26 points to help Golden State avoid

its first three-game losing streak this season. Curry became the first Warriors players
with at least 40 points and 10 assists in a
game since Latrell Sprewell in 1997.
He played like he wants to be MVP,
Portlands LaMarcus Aldridge said.
And indeed he does.
He never says anything about it, Kerr
said of Currys candidacy, but you better
believe he wants it.

He hit six before halftime and eight overall,

teaming with fellow Splash Brothers star
Klay Thompson to bring the Warriors back
from 13 points down.
Curry finished 17-of-23 shooting, including 8 of 13 from 3-point range, which had
Warriors co-owner Joe Lacob salivating
over the statistics following coach Steve
Kerrs postgame news conference.
Unbelievable, Lacob said.
Curry added 10 assists, and Thompson

points to rally the Golden State Warriors to

a 116-105 victory over the Portland Trail
Blazers on Thursday night.
I finally played a fourth quarter, he
joked, indirectly referring to how many lopsided wins have limited his playing time.
So I wanted to get out there and make some
plays.
Curry entered the game four shy of his
mark of 272 3-pointers, which he set two
years ago in the season finale at Portland.

She would be the Knights last base runner
of the game.
Despite the dearth of offense, Hillsdale
coach Randy Metheany was surprisingly
upbeat after the game.
I dont care (that we only got one hit). It
happens, Metheany said. We hit a few
balls right at them. [Grech] was spotting
her pitches and we got jammed a couple
times.
As long as were hitting the ball and not
swinging at bad pitches, Im OK with it.
Katie Miller came to the plate and hit a
grounder to the Woodside shortstop, who
came home with the throw. The ball sailed
over the catchers head, enabling Quirke to
score easily. Nestor never slowed rounding
third and beat the throw to give Hillsdale a
2-0 lead.
Meanwhile, Miller motored all the way
around to third and scored on Gabby
Mataeles groundout to third.
And thats how you score three runs without a hit.
That was more than enough runs for
McCoy, who allowed only three hits while
striking out nine. Two of Woodsides hits

Lerg scored the winning goal Thursday
night as the San Jose Sharks defeated the

The 29-year-old Lerg could barely believe
his good fortune, scoring with 2:52 remaining in the third period after playing 353
minor league games while waiting for his
NHL shot.
I have no words, honestly, he said. I
put it in and kind of blacked out from there.
It felt good to score that one, let alone to
play this game in general. It has been a long
seven years waiting for this. To finish like
that, it is pretty exciting.
Sharks forward Logan Couture set up Lerg
on the play.
Its been a tough year, but things like

was the most excited I have been about a

Sharks coach Todd McLellan said Lergs
story is a notable one.
It is a lesson for a lot of us, not only in
hockey, but in life, said McLellan. To persevere and follow your dreams and you will
get there eventually, and he got there
tonight.
Patrick Marleau and Matt Nieto also scored
for the Sharks, who snapped a two-game

Seven Kentucky players declare for NBA draft

By Gary B. Graves
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LEXINGTON, Ky. A record seven players are leaving a mighty Kentucky team
after a season that fell two wins short of a
championship. They can look forward to a
possible reunion in a couple of months at
the NBA draft.
The soon-to-be-former Wildcats gathered
at their practice gym and said they will turn
pro: 7-footers Willie Cauley-Stein and
Dakari Johnson, twin guards Andrew and
Aaron Harrison, freshman forwards KarlAnthony Towns and Trey Lyles and freshman backup guard Devin Booker.
The exodus, which featured Kentuckys
top seven scorers, could have been even
greater.
If Alex Poythress doesnt get hurt, it
wouldve been eight, coach John Calipari
said, referring to the junior forward who sustained a season-ending torn knee ligament
in December.
Such exits have become the norm in

Lexington, a one-and-done environment

where players and the program thrive
despite single-season stays. Calipari has
developed 19 NBA draft picks, including 15
first-round selections and two No. 1 overall
picks.
The 6-11 Towns could be the first player
chosen overall on June 25. Cauley-Stein
and Lyles could soon follow, with both projected as possible lottery selections.
Booker is also a potential first-rounder,
with the rest projected to go in the second.
That draft forecast persuaded them to take
the next step in moves that had been long
expected since their campus arrivals.
It was a tough decision for all of us, but
we wanted to chase our dreams, Aaron
Harrison said.
Seated before a backdrop of blown-up
trading cards of recent Wildcats standouts
now in the NBA, Kentuckys largest group
of would-be pros explained their decisions.
Calipari joined them after saying this week
that five to seven players could enter.
Confirmation was more visual than ver-

bal, with Calipari asking those who were

leaving to stand. After they all looked at
each other and hesitated, they stood up to
applause before answering questions on the
podium and then separately.
This years team made a determined run at
history with a school-record 38-game winning streak that kept them ranked No. 1 all
season. They were the prohibitive favorites
to win title No. 9 and become the first
unbeaten champions since Indiana in 1976.
Then came Saturday nights 71-64 loss to
Wisconsin in the Final Four. That immediately raised the question of how many
Wildcats would be leaving. After all, many
of them surprised Calipari and others last
spring by deciding to return for second and
even third seasons in an effort to win a
championship and improve their draft
stock.
Now, its about each individual making
the decision, Calipari said, not based on
whats right for this university, not based
on whats right for me and our staff, but
whats right for them and their families.

Dukes Okafor also going pro

No surprise and no suspense from Jahlil
Okafor: The Duke freshman is headed to the
NBA.
The 6-foot-11 All-American announced
his decision Thursday, saying he will fulfill
one of his earliest childhood dreams.
As early as I can remember, Ive fantasized and dreamed of the day that I could play
professional basketball, Okafor said in a
statement issued by the school.
Coach Mike Krzyzewski called it a great
decision.
This is a tremendous opportunity for
Jahlil and he has earned it, Krzyzewski
said. Obviously, he has done an incredible
job here at Duke and he will always be a part
of our Duke basketball family. We could not
be happier for (him) and his family.
The announcement came three days after
Okafor led Duke (35-4) to its fifth national
championship, a 68-63 victory over
Wisconsin in Indianapolis on Monday
night.

Machina
a visionary
sci-fi thriller
By Lindsey Bahr

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Cinema has always been fascinated by

androids. From Metropolis to Blade
Runner, the juxtaposition of humans next
to their artificial form has provided endless
hours of stories that can be as exhilarating
as they are poignant. Tough moral questions about consciousness and humanity go
down easier when hidden under the glossy
sheen of genre, after all.
With so many now-classics preceding it,
Ex Machina might seem like just the latest flavor in the android movie shop. And
yet, without necessarily expanding on this
well-trod territory or innovating contemporary science-fiction, by going deep on a
simple construct, Ex Machina establishes
itself as a unique and deeply unsettling psychological thriller thats both necessary and
unforgettable.
The construct in question: How good is

this android?
Wr i t e r- d i r e c t o r
Alex Garland in his
feature debut tells the
story with basically only
three characters: Caleb
(Domhnall Gleeson), the
sharp programmer whose life
is upended to spend a few days in
a remote location with his companys
billionaire CEO and brilliant recluse,
Nathan (Oscar Isaac); and Nathans creation, Ava (Alicia Vikander).
Caleb thinks hes won a prize and a retreat
with a genius. Its only when he arrives that
Nathan tells him his real purpose is to
advise Nathan on whether or not Ava passes the human or machine test.
Nathans home embodies the modern
design ideal of organic architecture and he
and Caleb discuss Ava as Schubert and
Bach play faintly in the background. Big,

Fire on the Mountain pays

musical tribute to coal miners
By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

Hard Working Miner provides an apt

opening to Fire on the Mountain, a musical examination of Appalachian coal miners lives presented by TheatreWorks as its
400th production.
Co-creators Randal Myler and Dan
Wheetman interviewed hundreds of miners
and their families from throughout the area
and interspersed their words with three
dozen traditional songs performed by a
nine-member cast.
Myler also directs the show, while
Wheetman serves as musical director.
Four of them play string instruments such
as guitar, banjo, fiddle and mandolin. The
other five create somewhat consistent characters. All of them sing and dance.
Performed without intermission, the 90minute show opens with descriptions of the

daily lives of the miners and their families.

Theyre mainly light-hearted at first, but
descriptions of their hardships are mixed in.
The men worked six long days a week in
dirty, dangerous conditions, sometimes
standing in knee-deep water or lying on
their sides for hours at a time.
Photos from the time and place are projected onto two large screens to illustrate
situations.
These people were virtually enslaved
because they had to live in company-provided housing near the mine, shop in the
company store with company-issued scrip
and educate their children in company-built
schools.
One boy, played by Nik Duggan, says that
when he was 8 years old, he lied and said he
was 10 so that he could work at the mine for
8 cents an hour.

PROMISED LAND: JACOB LAWRENCE AT THE

CANTOR, A GIFT FROM THE KAYDEN FAMILY.
Jacob Lawrence (1917-2000) is among the most important artists of the 20th century and is a leading voice in
the artistic portrayal of the African-American experience.
Thanks to the generosity of the late Dr. Herbert J. Kayden
of New York City and his daughter Joelle Kayden, Stanford
MBA 81, of Washington, D.C., the Cantor Arts Center at
Stanford University now holds an unparalleled collection
of 56 works by Lawrence and one by his wife, Gwendolyn
Knight Lawrence. The Kaydens gift is comprised of five
paintings, 11 drawings, 39 prints and one illustrated
book, all dating between 1943 and 1998 and all given in
memory of Dr. Gabrielle H. Reem, who is Herbert
Kaydens wife and Joelle Kaydens mother.
With this addition to its collection, the Cantor is now
positioned to be a leading resource for students and scholars to study both Lawrence and the social and political
conditions of the historical era in which he produced this
important work. His narrative paintings often reflect his
personal experience or depict key moments in AfricanAmerican history, including the accomplishments of people such as Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman and the
achievements of the American civil rights movement. In
celebration of the gift, the Cantor holds the first ever
exhibition of these works together, titled Promised Land:
Jacob Lawrence at the Cantor, A Gift from the Kayden
Family. The installation demonstrates Lawrences gift for
observing life and telling a story, whether he was capturing the everyday details of Harlem or reconstructing critical moments in African-American history. The 39 prints
on view include a complete set of his first print portfolio,
The Legend of John Brown (1978), and an artists proof
edition of Eight Studies for The Book of Genesis (198990).
Cantor Director Connie Wolf said: We feel deeply honored that the Kaydens chose Stanford as the best home
for the art. They decided that the collection could add great
value not just for Stanford students and researchers, but
for the entire Northern California community as well.
With this exhibition and an accompanying publication,
we celebrate this generous gift while also providing new
insights and perspectives on a great American artist who
was such an influential force in 20th-century art.
ABOUT THE CANTOR ARTS CENTER. Founded in
1891 with the university, the Cantor Arts Center was
expanded and renamed in 1999 for lead donors Iris and B.
Gerald Cantor. The Cantors encyclopedic collection
spans 5,000 years, includes more than 40,000 artworks
and beckons visitors to travel around the world and
through time: from Africa to the Americas to Asia, from
classical to contemporary. With 24 galleries presenting
selections from the collection and more than 20 special

Simple vinaigrette to deliver maximum flavor

By Sara Moulton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Most people reach for prepared salad

dressings because on busy weeknights they
just cant handle the thought of whipping up
yet something else. Because after cooking a
main course and some sides and tossing
together a salad, who has the time and energy to make a dressing?
I get it. Its convenient. But homemade
dressings are so much better, they really are
worth the trouble. Homemade dressings not
only are fresher and taste better, they also
are better for you. The good news is that
making dressing doesnt have to be a daily
chore. In just five minutes you can prep one
big batch of dressing for the entire week.
So lets walk through the basics of vinaigrettes.
The standard recipe for a vinegar-based
dressing calls for a 3-to-1 ratio of oil to
vinegar (or other acid). But really thats just
a starting point. Years ago when I was teaching a class in basic techniques, I tested the
validity of that ratio by asking my students
to make dressings of their own. All of them
used olive oil, but each one picked a different acid.
That was an eye-opener! Three tablespoons of oil swamped rice vinegar, but
barely balanced the acidity of sherry vinegar. Bottom line: The acid content in vinegars can vary widely, so youll want to
adjust for that.
What about the oil? Mostly, I opt for good
quality extra-virgin olive oil. You want to
break out the good stuff because youre really going to taste it in a dressing. But if you
dont like the taste of olive oil, you can use

an oil with a more neutral flavor, such as

grapeseed (though its pricey). Safflower and
sunflower are less expensive and also are
perfectly acceptable.
Nut oils are another way to go, including
walnut and hazelnut, as well as two of my
favorites: pistachio and pumpkinseed. They
pair up very well with fruit vinegars, such as
raspberry.
What are the best ways to mix a vinaigrette? The easiest include measuring and
mixing it in a glass measuring cup, shaking
it in a jar (an almost empty mustard jar is a
good choice), or briefly whizzing it up in a
blender. And I say briefly about the blender
because too much whizzing may make olive
oil taste bitter.
Start with the acid, salt and pepper, and
mix them until the salt is dissolved. Then, if
youre using a measuring cup, add the oil
slowly in a stream, whisking until its
incorporated. If youre mixing it in a jar, add
all of the oil and shake. If youre using a
blender, add the oil and pulse until well combined.
A vinaigrette is a temporary emulsion,
meaning that when you whisk or shake it,
the oil and vinegar will combine long
enough to coat your salad. Eventually,
though, these components will separate
again. You can make the dressing stay
together longer by adding an emulsifier,
such as mustard or an egg. I prefer mustard,
not only because of its power to emulsify,
but because I really like its taste.
Tas t y add-i n s ? Yo ur ch o i ce: mi n ced
shallots (which contribute a pleasantly
sweet crunch), a minced clove of garlic,
chopped fresh herbs, a bit of soy sauce or
miso, crumbled cheese, grated fresh cit-

rus zest or capers.

Want to cut down the vinaigrettes calorie
count? Cut down the amount of oil.
Depending on my mood, Ill swap in
chicken broth, pureed fresh tomato or
roasted red pepper, or pureed (very ripe)
pear, all of which contribute flavor and
body. Sugar, too, can replace oil, which
is why relatively sweet balsamic vinegar
requires relatively less oil for balance in
a vinaigrette. But I m not a fan of sugar in
dressings. We already eat way too much.
By the way, theres no reason to confine
vinaigrettes to the salad bar. They can perk
up grilled vegetables, chicken or steak, and
they partner up beautifully with fish.

neither are we.

A big reason for that is Nathan. Sure, the
dorky Caleb is supposed to be intellectually
disarmed by the fact that Nathan created the
worlds most powerful search engine as a
teenager. But Isaac, with his shaved head,
thick black beard and burly but fit physique,
is an intimidating physical presence as
well. Hes a bruiser, a genius, and a charismatic eccentric who spends his days boxing
and his nights getting blind drunk alone.
Isaac, who is quickly proving himself to
be one of the greats of his generation, plays
Nathan as a celebrity of sorts the kind
who is always requesting that the other per-

son just be more real, which usually has

the opposite effect.
But its really Avas film. Her form, too, is
distracting. Her body, made of caged metal
and fiber optics, though interesting and perfectly curved, is secondary to the face the
only visually human aspect to her.
Her innocent beauty, perfect expressiveness, and surprising wit even make Caleb
question whether Nathan is using her loveliness to muddle judgment (i.e. the magicians assistant).
Did you program her to flirt with me,
Caleb asks self-consciously at one point.
As the test progresses and Ava starts to

resemble not an experiment but a prisoner,

things get more complicated and motives,
all around, become fuzzier. Then, Ex
Machina elegantly transitions away from a
theatrical exercise in discourse into a tense
thriller with gripping twists and haunting
turns right up to the conclusion.
Perverse and provocative, Ex Machina
is a cult classic in the making.
Ex Machina, an A24 release, is rated R
by the Motion Picture Association of
America for for graphic nudity, language,
sexual references and some violence.
Running time: 108 minutes. Three and a
half stars out of four.

Other issues that arise during the show

include deadly black lung disease, acquired
from breathing coal dust nonstop; the terrible environmental costs exacted on the
land and water by strip mining; and efforts
to join a union, the United Mine Workers of
America.
One wrenching segment deals with an
explosion that killed many workers outright and trapped dozens more with no hope
of survival. Some miners always carried a

tin of morphine with them, apparently to

ease their deaths when no hope was left.
Besides Duggan and Parsons, the cast features Marie Shell, Molly Andrews and
Harvy Blanks, who do most of the acting.
Blanks and Andrews, an expert in
Appalachian music, also do much of the
singing.
Instrumentalist-singers are Karen Celia
Heil, David M. Lutken, Tony Marcus and
Harry Yaglijian.

Although music forms the centerpiece of

this show, the real impact comes from its
message and its salute to a resilient group
of people who endured hard lives for little
reward.

cials consider asking voters to approve

a bond measure this fall.
The district Board of Trustees selected
Baker, who previously served as deputy
superintendent, to fill the role of the
retiring Christensen, pending successful contract negotiations.
Trustees announced the selection
Wednesday night after a presentation at
the board meeting from pollsters who
encouraged the district to move forward
quickly with a potential bond measure
slated to modernize district facilities.
One possible point of contention
Baker will avoid in his new role is contract negotiations with the teachers
union, as the district announced an
agreement has been reached to give a 3
percent raise to educators.
The pay hike follows a decision last
month to lay off 27 educators, due to a
projected enrollment decline, as new
charter schools entering the district are
expected to leach more than 800 students next year.
Baker, in a prepared statement, said he
was excited for the opportunity to lead
the school system he has served for
more than 30 years.
I am honored by the boards confidence in my ability to lead this district
where I have spent nearly my entire
career, he said. The Redwood City
School District is a real gem on the midPeninsula, and I am enthusiastic about
the opportunity to lead this district.

ment saying the utility was deeply
sorry for the explosion. The lessons
of this tragic event will not be forgotten, he said.
Federal investigators blamed both
safety failings by the utility and lax
oversight by state regulators for the
disaster.
The penalty was the largest against a
utility in state history, but members of
the commission might not be done
penalizing PG&E. They said the utility
has continued to rack up safety citations since the San Bruno blast, and
Picker said he would ask commission
staff to evaluate splitting up PG&Es
operations, which currently combine
gas and electricity, and serve 9.7 million customers across Northern
California and the Central Valley.
Im asking the question. Well have
to answer it, Picker told the AP.
He raised the topic during the meeting where commissioners voted 4-0 to
impose the $1.6 billion penalty he
suggested last month, asking if,

Baker started his career in the district

working as a kindergarten teacher at
Garfield Elementary School, and eventually ascended to serving as principal
and then later in administrative positions.
Should the board and Baker eventually
come to a contract agreement, he would
take lead of the district beginning July
1, following Christensen, who
announced in January her intent to retire
after the school year.
One of the first challenges Baker will
face is directing the district through a
bond campaign, which experts recommend should begin as soon as possible.
According a presentation given by
pollster Brian Godbe at the board meeting Wednesday, April 8, there is sufficient voter support to move forward
with placing a bond measure on the
upcoming fall ballot.
His firm, Godbe Research, conducted a
poll of 400 likely voters in the
November election, and found nearly 70
percent would support a $189 million
bond that would be spent to update
school technology, and maintain current facilities.
The poll results indicate the district is
well beyond the 55 percent threshold
necessary for voter approval of a bond
measure.
And though poll results show even
more support, 76 percent, for a proposed ballot measure in the June 2016
election, Godbe and his partner, Sarah
Stern from TBWB Strategies, suggested
the district strike while the iron is hot.
We think this is a really excellent
opportunity to go ahead and get the
bond measure passed in 2015, she said.

Officials should consider a bond that

would cost owners $30 per $100,000 of
assessed home value, as there is likely
sufficient voter support necessary to
pass the measure.
In such a scenario, an owner of an
$800,000 home in Redwood City would
be required to pay $240 per year toward
the bond, should it pass.
If the board wishes to put the bond on
the November ballot, trustees would
need to approve it prior to the August
deadline.
The district has elected to move forward with investigating bond feasibility after conducting a facilities master
plan study that found nearly $600 million worth of renovations and improvements are necessary, according to board
President Dennis McBride.
Board members were supportive
regarding the positive feedback from
the poll results.
Im really happy to see the numbers, said Trustee Alisa MacAvoy
Fellow Trustee Shelly Masur said she
supported the proposal to move quickly
with the bond measure.
Going sooner is better than going
later, she said.
The agreement with teachers also
guarantees a class size reduction from 31
students down to 30 students per classroom.
Of the 3 percent raise agreed upon, 2
percent will be retroactive to July 1,
2015, and 1 percent will go into effect
June 1.
Teachers earned an average of roughly
$70,000 last year, according to a report
from the San Mateo County Office of
Education.

indeed, PG&E is failing to establish a

safety culture, and we continue to see
more accidents and violations of safety rules, what are our tools?
The commission will also investigate whether to go after bonuses and
stock options that PG&E gives executives, and it will launch a formal investigation into the utilitys culture of
safety.
The penalty, which was adopted after
one of the five commissioners recusing himself from the vote, requires
PG&E shareholders to pay $850 million toward gas transmission safety
improvements. It also orders PG&E to
pay a $300 million penalty that goes
into the states general fund.
It mandates the utility pay $400 million in bill credits, and it directs
approximately $50 million toward
other remedies.
Commission officials said they
would work with state tax officials to
limit the utilitys ability to deduct the
penalty. The fine also was bigger than
investors had hoped, and PG&E share
prices closed down 1. 6 percent
Thursday.
Investors overall would be likely to
welcome a splitting off of the utilitys
gas operations, which carry most of
the financial risks for the company

and only 20 percent of its earnings

power.
The explosion has led to state and
federal investigations into alleged
back-channel dealings between PG&E
executives and the utility commissions former head, Michael Peevey,
whose term expired earlier this year.
No results of the investigations have
been announced. Peevey has never
commented publicly on the probe.
Since the disaster, PG&E said, it has
put 3,500 PG&E employees through
safety training, decommissioned more
than 800 miles of old pipeline, and set
up a new operations center to monitor
its gas systems, among other measures.
Commissioners opened Thursdays
meeting by reading aloud the names of
the men, women and children who died
in the blast.
Sue Bullis, whose husband, motherin-law and 17-year-old son were
among those killed, told the commission that she struggles, five years
later, for the will to go on.
I blame PG&E for the destruction of
my family, she said, adding, I blame
the California Public Utilities
Commission for lax safety enforcement.

said Public Works Director Brad Underwood.
The Community Center and Community
Gathering options propose a new 14-space
surface parking lot in the southwest corner

Although one goal in the Master Plan
update is to provide more parking than is
currently allotted in the 122-space underground lot along Fifth Avenue, Underwood
said the commissioners generally disagreed
with the proposed location of a new surface

Peninsula of concrete, said Public Works

Commission Chair Garrett Rice. So Im
against putting more concrete projects in
the park because then its not a park, its a
parking lot. And weve got plenty of parking lots in San Mateo and on the Peninsula,
but we dont have many parks. So I would
avoid any type of development in the
park.
Commissioners also expressed concerns
about the possibility of an El Camino Real
entrance into the park causing more congestion on the citys busy thoroughfare.
The three proposals suggest creating
angled street parking along Laurel Avenue, a
proposal that has also drawn some dissent
from the Public Works and Planning commissions.
Kuhre said shed prefer any new parking
spaces be contained within a new, multilevel underground structure along Fifth
Avenue so as not to detract from park space.
Rice said the commissions meeting was

intended to specifically explore those

areas of the new plans that relate to Public
Works. For example, parking or how the
entrances and exits to the park impact the
public right of ways, streets. However, it
still was a forum for very many passionate
people to come and speak about the proposed options.
My major issue, is that we should keep
the park a park and not let it become a platform for development, Rice said.
Kuhre said shed also prefer to promote
open space but regardless of what she wants
to see at the downtown amenity, its important to adhere to the public and user groups
interests.
The conceptual designs are still open for
public comment and will be reviewed by the
Parks and Recreation Commission and the
City Council at a meeting thats yet to be
scheduled.
Ultimately, we have a democratic policy
in place in this city and we have to listen to

the people, Kuhre said. There is a tremendous amount of interest to see how these
meetings are going and I think at any meeting or study session we have, the three primary interest groups are going to be present, advocating for what their concerns
are.
Although the planning process aims to
update the parks 1982 Master Plan and prepare a design that will last well into the
future, the city currently does not have funds
set aside for specific improvements. Still,
the city is going through an extensive outreach process with public workshops and
meetings that begin in March 2014.

wanted to do a thorough job. We wanted to

evaluate the roughly 17 to 19 environmental factors that are necessary and important
to [environmental] review. And we believe
that the research and the resulting document
is thorough and addresses the issues at
hand, de Melo said.
According to the citys environmental
study, staff determined there would be no, or
less than significant impacts on air quality,
water quality, soil, noise, recreation, aesthetics and more.
Although members of the public
expressed frustration that the proposed
changes could ease homeowners ability to
add second units on their properties, staff
noted that per state law, second units are
already allowed and cannot be considered as
an increase in density.

A positive impact in easing homeowners

older homes are brought up to modern safety standards and would be more energy efficient as theyd have to comply with updated
green building codes, DiDonato said.

As the Belmont zoning and tree ordinances will be heard by the City Council,
the proposed amendments are likely to draw
a crowd.
The zone text amendment process has
been an evolution of sorts, DiDonato said.

Now that the Planning and Parks and
Recreation commissions have reviewed the
