Harbor District to retire debt

Action will save special tax district $500,000 in interest payments on decades-old loan
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The San Mateo County Harbor

District will pay off a $5 million
loan nearly four years ahead of
schedule, the board voted unanimously Wednesday night.
The move will save the district
about $500,000 in interest payments and free up about $1.2 mil-

lion a year in principal payments

that will go back into operations.
General Manager Steve McGrath
presented three options to the
board, including one to refinance
the loan, one to maintain the status quo and one to pay off the debt
immediately.
It took out about $20 million in
loans from the California
Division
of
Boating

Waterways dating back to 1976 to

make improvements to both
Oyster Point Marina/Park in
South San Francisco and Pillar
Point at the coast.
This is a great thing, board
President Tom Mattusch wrote in a
statement. We are appreciative of
the support over the years from
Boating and Waterways and are
very pleased that we can pay this

off three and a half years early.

Mattusch wrote that the district
is financially solid and that it will
now pursue a very aggressive list
of projects to be completed.
They include dock repairs and
paving maintenance at both Pillar
Point and Oyster Point. The district owns and operates Pillar
Point Harbor and operates the
marina at Oyster Point under a

contract
with
South
San
Francisco.
The board voted 4-0 to pay the
debt off now with Commissioner
Virginia Chang Kiraly being
absent from the meeting.
The district will dip into its
$16.3 million reserve by about
$3.2 million to pay off the debt.

Community initiative sparks

new summer school program
San Bruno parents, educators rally to support local students
By Austin Walsh

www.smdailyjournal.com

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A resident heeding the calls of those

underwhelmed by the vibrancy of education in San Bruno took the initiative to
launch a summer school program designed
to serve underprivileged students.
Marco Durazo, who works at a nonprofit
focused on getting students in San
Franciscos Mission District on the path
for college, said his vision was inspired
by the clamoring he heard from fellow San
Bruno parents for more local school support programs.
He rallied support of San Bruno Park
Elementary School District officials, as
well as the broader community, to gather
the necessary resources to jump-start the
program in a district that has traditionally
struggled with severe budget constraints.
Through a combination of district
financing, potential contribution of the
San Bruno Education Foundation and an
engaged base of volunteers, Durazo said he
is confident the program will be a success,
beginning this summer.
We plan to offer a summer program that
is bare bones, because there is never any
money, but it is targeted for students who
are in elementary and are already falling
behind, said Durazo.
He said he expects the program to initially serve roughly 40 third- and fourthgraders at Belle Air Elementary School,
mostly Spanish or Pacific Islander, who
are falling behind the rest of their classmates.
Those who begin to struggle at an early
age may have difficulty catching up

throughout their academic career, said

Durazo, which can ultimately result in a
student not being on a path toward college
by the time they reach high school.
He said he is hopeful the summer school
program will initially engage Belle Air
Elementary School students who may otherwise fall by the wayside, before growing
into a larger initiative that could spread
throughout the district.
Many of the students who will participate in the pilot program come from families who otherwise would not have the
resources to put them in programs supplementing their education, said Durazo,
which is why he focused on working with
the local public school district.
If it wasnt for this, there would be
nothing for these families in the summer,
he said.
The program will likely begin as early
as 9 a.m. and offer education courses for
the first portion of the day, before progressing on to other enrichment programs
and ultimately offering recreation opportunities, before the final bell rings at 4
p.m.
Durazo said initially he expected the
program to run until about noon, but many
of the parents who would enroll their students said such a schedule would be difficult to negotiate with their work obligations, so he decided to expand the hours.
He credited Superintendent Cheryl Olson

for finding extra space in the district budget to pay two district teachers to lead the
classroom in the early morning, as well as
an administrator to be present.
The rest of the program will be operated
by parent volunteers and liaisons who are
willing to contribute their free time, said
Durazo.
He attributed the selflessness of San
Bruno residents to bringing the program
together.
Its really a community effort, he said.
All the stakeholders are doing a little bit
to make this a reality.
Durazo said part of his inspiration to
begin the program was to supplement the
educational opportunities in the district
before his 3-year-old son enrolls at Belle
Air Elementary School in the coming
years.
Though he was responsible for making
connections throughout the community,
Durazo attributed the program getting off
the ground to the commitment of local parents.
They are active and they are really
defining the vision, he said. The parents
are saying this is what they want and need.
Its a great story.
Once the school year ends and the program begins its initial session, Durazo
said he is confident the students, who otherwise may not have such an opportunity,
will ultimately be the beneficiaries of the
communitys collective efforts.
We need to get them at grade level, so
when they get to middle school they are at
grade level, so when they get to high
school they have a fighting chance to go
to college, he said.

Local briefs
South City man sentenced for three robberies
A South San Francisco man was sentenced to four years in
prison Wednesday for committing three robberies in 2014
and 2015, including one when he was out on bail for the
other two, prosecutors said Thursday.
Giovanni Avalos, 21, had been out on bail for the robbery
of a 7-Eleven store in March 2014 and a beating during a
mugging in May 2014 when he robbed a victim waiting to
get picked up for his prayer group, according to the San
Mateo County District Attorneys Office.
On March 20, 2014, Avalos robbed a clerk at gunpoint at
a 7-Eleven on Mission Road in South San Francisco. The
robbery was captured on surveillance footage, prosecutors
said.
On May 13, he was with a group of accomplices who
robbed and beat a victim in the 200 block of Armour
Avenue, stealing the victims iPhone, debit card and $207
in cash.
Avalos was arrested and charged with those robberies. But
while out on bail he committed the third robbery on April 5,
2015, on the 600 block of Linden Avenue.
He held at gunpoint a victim who said he was waiting to
go to a prayer group at 2:50 a.m. Avalos took his wallet,
containing cash and a bank card, prosecutors said.
In a plea agreement, Avalos pleaded no contest
Wednesday to three counts of robbery in exchange for a sentence of four years in prison. He has 424 days credit toward
his sentence for time served, prosecutors said.
Avalos attorney, John Campion, declined to comment on
the case Thursday.

Two more arrested in burglary of mall kiosk

Two more suspects were arrested Wednesday on suspicion
of burglarizing a San Bruno mall kiosk last month, police
said.
Police arrested 21-year-old Millbrae resident Jethro
Saldana and 25-year-old South San Francisco resident
Josenico De Los Santos at 5:29 p.m. in Millbrae after the
two allegedly attempted to sell some stolen jewelry to a
jewelry store.
A third suspect in the burglary, Victory Mangawang, 40,
of Richmond, was arrested March 26, according to police.
Officers responded at 9:42 a.m. on March 22 to the
Piercing Pagoda kiosk in The Shops at Tanforan at 1150 El
Camino Real on a report of the burglary.
Officers found that a burglary had occurred at 11 p.m. on
March 21, police said.
Police allege the burglars pried open cabinets, a display
case and the cash register and took more than $100 in cash
and jewelry.
When officers arrested Saldana and De Los Santos, officers allegedly found the pair with some of the items from
the Piercing Pagoda.
All three suspects were arrested on suspicion of burglary,
possession of stolen property and possession of methamphetamine, according to police.

SACRAMENTO The California state Senate has

Gov. Jerry Brown proposed the funding in February to

the former Exide Technologies plant in Vernon.
More than $7 million has already been spent for testing
and cleanup, including removal of 10,000 tons of lead-contaminated soil.
Democratic Senate leader Kevin de Leon of Los Angeles
says the state will eventually seek to recover the cleanup
costs from Exide.
The bill goes to the Assembly, which must agree to
changes made in the Senate.

Security flaws found in three

state health insurance websites
FRANKFORT, Ky. Federal investigators found significant cybersecurity weaknesses in the health insurance websites of California, Kentucky and Vermont that could enable
hackers to get their hands on sensitive personal information about hundreds of thousands of people, The Associated
Press has learned. And some of those flaws have yet to be
fixed.
The vulnerabilities were discovered by the Government
Accountability Office, the investigative arm of Congress,
and shared with state officials last September. Vermont
authorities would not discuss the findings, but officials in
California and Kentucky said this week that there was no
evidence hackers succeeded in stealing anything.
Regulators said that given the number of weaknesses they
discovered in just the three states studied, other state-run
health insurance exchanges could be vulnerable, too. The
GAO recommended the federal government continually
monitor cybersecurity at such sites.

Report: Four credible sex

CHICAGO At least four people have

Uber settles lawsuit over
driver background checks for $10M
LOS ANGELES Ride-hailing company Uber will pay
at least $10 million to settle allegations by California
prosecutors that the ride-hailing company misled passengers about the quality of its driver background checks.
The settlement was signed Thursday in San Francisco,
where Uber is based and where the district attorney led a
lawsuit that said Uber falsely claimed its criminal screening of would-be drivers was the most comprehensive
available.
San Francisco and Los Angeles prosecutors sued in
2014, saying Ubers background checks were inferior to
what taxi drivers undergo because they did not include fingerprint checks for past convictions. Instead, Ubers
process relies on a name search of other criminal databases and motor vehicle department files going back seven
years.
Uber has defended the safety of its service despite a
steady stream of allegations that its drivers have assaulted
passengers, or, in the case of a driver in Michigan earlier
this year, killed people. The app lets passengers share
their location in real time, Uber points out, and the person
who booked the ride is required to rate the driver after each
trip, helping weed out unsavory characters.
In settling the California case, Uber did not admit
wrongdoing and said it already has made many changes
prosecutors sought.

Cal State system, faculty

SAN FRANCISCO California State University officials and the union that represents campus faculty members say they have reached a tentative salary agreement
that has postponed a five-day system-wide strike scheduled to start next week.
The California Faculty Association and the Cal State
system said in a joint announcement Thursday that details
of the preliminary deal would not be disclosed until
Friday.
The two sides announced this week that union and university negotiators had resumed talks and hoped to have
their long-running pay dispute resolved within days.
The faculty association has been seeking a 5 percent
salary increase for its 26,000 members, while the university previously offered 2 percent.
The union had scheduled a strike for April 13-15 and
April 18-19 at all 23 Cal State campuses unless the system
met its demands.

SACRAMENTO The California

Legislatures nonpartisan analyst estimates the states pollution tax has
raised gasoline prices by 11 cents per
gallon and diesel prices by 13 cents,
according to a month-old letter
released on Thursday.
The pollution tax costs drivers collectively about $2 billion a year,

His staff calculated the estimate in

from
Assemblyman Tom Lackey, RPalmdale, who is pushing legislation
that would require the state to report

These impartial estimates confirm
that Californians are paying significantly higher prices, Lackey said in a

State nonprofits barred from advising on prison savings

By Don Thompson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Legislators voted

Thursday to try to change California
law because a state board is discouraging nonprofits from helping decide
how to spend millions of dollars saved
by a recent reduction in penalties for
some crimes.
The Board of State and Community
Corrections will distribute nearly two-

thirds of the projected $29 million

saved by reducing prison and jail sentences under Proposition 47. The initiative approved by nearly 60 percent
of voters in 2014 lowered several property and drug crimes from felonies to
misdemeanors.
Senators objected to the board
telling community rehabilitation services providers that they may have a
conflict of interest if they seek a portion of the money while simultaneous-

ly serving on the advisory board that

recommends how the money should be
spent.
That sent a chilling message to
providers of drug addiction and mental
health treatment services that already
feel the board is slanted toward law
enforcement agencies, said Brian
Goldstein, an advocate with the Center
on Juvenile and Criminal Justice, and
Steven Meinrath, an advocate with the

Clinton, Sanders clash over

qualifications, background

REUTERS

Donald Trump speaks at a campaign event.

Poll: Americans overwhelmingly

view Donald Trump negatively
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON For Americans of

nearly every race, gender, political
persuasion and location, disdain for
Donald Trump runs deep, saddling the
Republican front-runner with unprecedented unpopularity as he tries to overcome recent campaign setbacks.
Seven in 10 people, including close
to half of Republican voters, have an
unfavorable view of Trump, according
to a new Associated Press-GfK poll.
Its an opinion shared by majorities of
men and women; young and old; conservatives, moderates and liberals; and
whites, Hispanics and blacks a devastatingly broad indictment of the billionaire businessman.
Even in the South, a region where
Trump has won GOP primaries decisively, close to 70 percent view him
unfavorably. And among whites without a college education, one of Trumps
most loyal voting blocs, 55 percent
have a negative opinion.
Trump still leads the Republican
field in delegates and has built a loyal
following with a steady share of the
Republican primary electorate. But the

breadth of his unpopularity raises significant questions about how he could

stitch together enough support in the
general election to win the White
House.
It also underscores the trouble he
may still face in the Republican race,
which appears headed to a contested
convention where party insiders would
have their say about who will represent the GOP in the fall campaign.
Hes at risk of having the nomination denied to him because grass-roots
party activists fear hes so widely disliked that he cant possibly win, said
Ari Fleischer, a former adviser to
President George W. Bush.
Beyond their generally negative perception of Trump, large majorities also
said they would not describe him as
civil, compassionate or likable. On
nearly all of these measures, Trump
fared worse than his remaining
Democratic or Republican rivals.
Not that voters have all that much
love for those rivals. But their negative perceptions dont match the depth
of the distaste for Trump. Texas Sen.
Ted Cruz, who is seeking to catch
Trump in the Republican delegate

count, is viewed unfavorably by 59

percent, while 55 percent have negative views of Democratic front-runner
Hillary Clinton.
Another problem for Trump is that
his public perception seems to be getting worse. The number of Americans
who view him unfavorably has risen
more than 10 percentage points since
mid-February, a two-month stretch
that has included some of his biggest
primary victories but also an array of
stumbles that suggested difficulties
with his campaign organization and a
lack of policy depth.
A survey conducted by Gallup in
January found Trumps unfavorable rating, then at 60 percent in the their
polling, was already at a record high
level for any major party nominee in
their organizations polling since the
1990s.
Candi Edie, a registered Republican
from Arroyo Grande, California, is
among those whose views on Trump
have grown more negative.
At first, I thought he was great. He
was bringing out a lot of issues that
werent ever said, they were taboo,
Edie said.

NEW YORK With accusations of lying, hustling for

money and failed leadership, the race for the Democratic
nomination took a decidedly negative
turn, with Hillary Clinton and Bernie
Sanders exchanging a series of barbs over
qualifications for the presidency.
The testy exchanges underscored the
heightened stakes for both sides as the
race turns to New York, where Sanders
hopes to turn his recent winning streak
into concrete momentum toward the nomClinton, meanwhile, is looking

to the April 19 contest to take command
of a primary race that many in her campaign worry will only amplify her weaknesses heading into the general election.
Sanders path to the nomination
remains narrow: The Vermont senator
must win 68 percent of the remaining delegates and uncommitted superdelegates if
he hopes to clinch the Democratic nomination. That would require blowout victories by Sanders in upcoming states big
Bernie Sanders and small, including New York.
Lagging in delegates and under fire
from a frustrated Clinton, Sanders is shifting away from his
pledge to avoid negative attacks and stinging her with direct
accusations. I will not leave here this morning and go to a
Wall Street fundraiser, he told union members at an AFL-CIO
conference in Philadelphia on Thursday. I will not be hustling money from the wealthy and the powerful.

WASHINGTON Americans dont know a lot about the

about 4 in 10 say theyve heard little to nothing about the

Even among people whove been following the Zika saga

spread other than through mosquito bites.
Still, with mosquito season fast approaching, more than

The 11.5 million documents from the

Letters to the editor

Rent control
Editor,
In response to Mr. Caggianos and
others letters calling for rent control
I would ask you to imagine yourself
as a plumber, carpenter, electrician or
any other independent worker and the
people in your community think you
charge too much. They approach the
city ofcials or try to enact a ballot
measure to lower your charges. Would
you consider that fair or even legal?
This is a highly emotional issue
but to reach a rational solution we
must remove the emotion and look
objectively at the situation. We must
remember that a rental unit is someones business and unless you want
the government to tell your business
what you can charge you shouldnt be
looking for them to restrict someone
elses business. We also mistakenly
speak about renters being evicted
from their home. It is not their
home. It is the owners home. When
you rent a car from Avis, its not your
car. A renter enters into a legal agreement to occupy a residence for a specic length of time for a negotiated
rate. When that time expires, he has
no further right to occupy that residence unless the owner desires to release to him.
There is no entitlement once the
lease expires regardless of the length
of time one has occupied the unit. I
think most landlords would agree that
no one should be evicted before their
lease expires for other than health or
safety issues. I hope that our elected
ofcials dont get swept away by the
emotion and panic overcoming the
rental community.

Minimum wage jobs

Editor,
Minimum wage jobs pay minimum
wages because they require a minimal
amount of skill and brains to do the
minimum wage job. These kind of
jobs were never meant to support a
family of four, or, be livable wages in
a high rent area. Now that Gov. Jerry
Brown has signed into law the new
$15 per hour minimum wage, say
goodbye to a lot of small- and medium-sized independently owned businesses. Instead, say hello to higher
prices.
The correct answer is to have the
minimum wage earners continue to
take responsibility for their own
futures by continuing their own education and training, to make themselves more employable, instead of
taking shortcuts in life, including
dropping out of school, getting in
trouble with the law or getting pregnant out of wedlock. Those excuses
are all societys problems and should

Editor,
As a resident of Belmont,
California, I am writing to emphasize
the importance of preserving our public amenities, especially for the
growth and development of our children. The Bridgepointe ice rink is
being threatened with closure, to be
replaced by retail stores. Do we really
need more retail outlets?
The City Council must understand
that the ice rink is a place where our
children and our families gather on
weekends for sporting events but
also, more importantly, as a social
nucleus for their peer group and the
community in general. We must not
allow this cherished venue and
resource to be shuttered forever.
It sets a disappointing precedent in
terms of governance, and the legacy
we leave behind for our kids and future
generations who grow up in our
towns and cities.

San Mateo ice rink closure

Editor,
As we approach April 18, the day
when we nd out the fate of San
Mateo ice skating rink, I nd myself
asking why. Why are we even in the
position? Why is it kept closed during this painful process? Why are the
signatures, letters and turnouts at
meetings with the city not enough?
Why is a resource that was used
almost 20 hours a day, seven days a
week, even slightly at risk of closing? While this leads to bigger questions about our leaders and society,
Ill stop here.
We need to ensure San Mateo keeps
its great resources and amenities. We
also need to think about our children
and future generations. This rink
served many purposes, all good.
From creating great memories, building condence, teaching team play to
avoiding kids from hanging out on
the streets (and associated risks)
this decision is more than just an ice
rink. What signal would be sent to if
we were to close it? What matters to
the leaders of San Mateo? What matters to the residents has been made
very loud and very clear: Keep the
rink open.
I truly hope the rink stays and is
forced to reopen. As a San Mateo
homeowner, and the CEO of a startup
based in San Mateo, I will seriously

Democratic party elite

Editor,
You have to hand it to those
Democrats in Sacramento who are
running the state, beating back those
selsh Republicans at every turn. The
newest gimmick is to gradually
increase the entry level wage to $15
an hour by2022. That sounds really
cool. Politicians do not know how to
run a business and generate income,
but they are skilled in spending the
money earned by the electorate. This
sham is a triumph of politics over
economics and good sense.I do truly
believe that the governor and his like
minded colleagues understand that no
employee will earn $15 an hour in
2022 unless the job generates at
least, at a minimum, $15 in goods
and services. If the employer does not
accrue from the labor of his employee
at least $15 and hour, there will be no
job.
The current crop of Democrats up
inSacramento will be long gone if
the scheme fails, but it is a stroke of
genius to keep the Democrat party in
a rm grip of the levers of power in
the Golden State. Meanwhile, the
Delta water tunnels and the highspeed rail projects have inadequate
nancing to go forward. I am certain
that the Democratic party elite in the
state is searching for a new phony
project in which to con the gullible
electorate into believing that it cares
about them.

ne of the more startling statements I heard from

Monday nights San Mateo City Council meeting
was Deputy Mayor David Lim saying he ignored
the growing crisis of rising rents for a year and was ashamed
of it now. What was startling was that he admitted it was
because essentially renters dont vote as much as property
owners do.
It wasnt until Lim started hearing more and more about
the plight of renters being forced out of their homes, and the
city, that he decided to bring up possible changes to the
citys policies in fall of last year.
Its not often that an elected official is so blunt. One might
assume that the issue was not brought up because there arent
a lot of good tools in a citys toolbox to contend with the
free market, especially regarding property. But to hear about
the political calculus of an elected official in such a public
setting was certainly unexpected. Lim is now running for a
judge seat in Alameda County and, if successful, will leave
his seat on the council. However, I dont think that is a factor in his new charge to do
something about the growing
housing crisis. But what exactly
is that something? When Lim
made his proposal in the fall, it
was to consider a just cause
eviction ordinance, and that was
ultimately tabled while a cityformed task force explored
options on addressing the everincreasing cost of rents in the
city while also not creating an
undue burden on responsible
property owners and their
investment. Little consensus
was established by the task
force aside from seeking funds
for housing programs, public
outreach, increasing landlord/tenant communication and
retaining below-market rate units. However, relocation assistance seemed to have fewer concerns by those on the task
force than alternatives such as rent control or just cause eviction, which is often enacted in tandem with rent control.
Enter Mayor Joe Goethals, who proposed an idea for relocation assistance of at least three months rent if a units rent
was increased by 10 percentage as a way to give a property
owner pause before sending that letter to the tenant. While
seemingly not popular with property owners, it was an idea
the council deemed worthy of exploring further at a meeting
Monday, April 11. In response, a tenant group announced
its intention to gather signatures for a November ballot
measure that would institute rent control, just cause eviction, a rental commission and fees for rental property owners. State law also exempts single-family homes, secondary
units, duplexes, condominiums and apartment buildings
built after February 1995 so really what we are talking about
are apartments in buildings constructed before 1995.
Will the proponents be able to gather the necessary signatures? It will be tough, but maybe. Will it pass? I would
think no, especially since it is such a radical departure from
current policy, but there is expected to be a high voter
turnout in November, especially if the presidential race turns
out to be between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
One thing on which nearly everyone can agree is that the
current state of rental prices is unprecedented and downright
terrifying for some particularly those on the margins
holding onto the Peninsula by their fingernails and others
finding it harder and harder to save for the more elusive
American Dream of home ownership.
Another thing on which nearly everyone can agree is that
this situation is larger than the city of San Mateo. It is a
regional and statewide issue exacerbated by a series of
events from the dissolution of redevelopment agencies, the
banking crisis, the low-interest rate environment that
sparked other investment interests, the high-tech surge and
even the policies of banning development in open space or
restricting heights.
Nobody, and I mean nobody, has been able to come up
with a panacea, though there are no shortfalls of ideas from
rent control and fees on property transfers to proposals to
adjust land use policies. My own idea of creating home savings accounts for renters similar to health savings accounts
or IRAs that would allow for renters to lower their taxable
income and place money into an account that could be used
for a down payment on a home would never make it past a
congressional committee even though home owners enjoy
tax breaks on their mortgage interest to promote home ownership. U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, has also proposed a program similar to Lifeline that would allow for
assistance for seniors living on fixed incomes.
In San Mateo, relocation assistance for all rental properties is on the table and it is worth exploring as at least one
step to help address the crisis. It is not by any means perfect
for any party the property owner who must pay someone
to move or the person taking that money to leave the community but it is a modest proposal that should not necessarily be seen as a step down the path to rent control. And
that is good or bad depending on your point of view.
One thing to consider, however, would be to establish a
tiered system in which a 10 percent increase would trigger a
two-month relocation assistance package, 15 percent triggers four months and 20 percent or more triggers six
months.
San Mateo has never been a city that takes radical steps. It
is by nature deliberative, cautious, compassionate and mindful. Relocation assistance is not a cure, but shows the city
leaders are moving past political calculus and trying to balance the needs of everyone in the community while addressing a growing crisis.

Stocks take biggest loss in six weeks, led by banks

By Marley Jay

DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK U.S. stocks sunk

to their biggest loss in a month
and a half Thursday as banks and
technology companies tumbled.
Interest rates moved lower, hurting financial stocks. The dollar
continued to fall compared to the
Japanese yen. Stocks have fallen
three out of four days this week.
Stocks sharply reversed course
after their gains a day ago.
Financial companies including
Goldman Sachs and Citigroup
took
the
largest
losses.
Technology and telecommunications companies also fell.
The market has lost momentum
over the last few weeks after a furious rally that wiped out most of
its losses from early 2016. Scott
Wren, senior global equity strategist for Wells Fargos Investment
Institute, said stocks are rising
and falling based on how
investors expect the global economy to do.
People are worried about
growth today, he said. Youre
not getting much more than modest economic activity.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 174.09 points, or 1 percent, to 17,541.96. The Standard

Las Vegas Sands

antes $9M to settle
corruption case with SEC
Las Vegas Sands is paying a $9
million fine to settle a regulatory
investigation that painted an
unflattering picture of the casino
owners expansion into a gambling mecca in China.
The
resolution
announced
Thursday closes a Securities and
Exchange Commission probe that
began more than five years ago.
The corruption case revolved
around Las Vegas Sands efforts to
become a major player in Macao,
an enclave in China that has turned
into a gold mine for U.S. casinos.
The SEC penalized Las Vegas
Sands for its dealings with a consultant paid $62 million to serve as
a beard for some of its business
in Macao and Beijing. The inquiry

banks are struggling because economic growth is sluggish and
interest rates remain low, which
means they cant make as much
money from lending.

Celebrating a state title

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

If there was a running theme

throughout the celebration of
Serras state basketball championship at Thursdays student assembly, it was a directive: to dream. To
dream and not let anyone take it
away from you.
The Serra basketball team dared to
dream during the 2015-16 campaign and unlike many, the Padres
achieved their dream of winning a
state title.
(Winning a state championship)
was just a dream, said Serra senior
guard Jeremiah Testa. But the
opportunity presented itself and its
all about using those opportunities.
Thursdays rally in the Red
Morton Gymnasium on the Serra
campus was the student bodys first
chance to truly embrace the team
that will live forever in Serra legend. By the time the Padres, the No.
1 team in the North, beat Southern
California No. 10 seed Long Beach
Poly 48-43 in Sacramento March
26, Serra was two days into its
spring break.
Classes did not resume until this
past Tuesday, meaning Thursday
was the first time the Serra student
body got to congratulate the team
en masse.
Once the student body filed into
the gym, they saw in the center of
the basketball court a table that

athletic director Dean Ayoob greeted the students before handing the
mic off to Bruce Anthony, who was

introduced by Ayoob as the voice

of Serra. Anthony proceeded to
first praise the entire Serra basketball program, which at four different levels freshman A and B,

piled a record of 78-20 this season.

Anthony then introduced each
member of the 2015-16 varsity
team, which were seated along the

got to cut down and cut off a piece of
the net.

Oaklands offense quiet again in loss to White Sox

By Michael Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Four games, 10 runs, three

losses and a plethora of missed opportunities.
A small sample size to be sure, but definitely not the kind of start to the season
that Oakland manager
Bob Melvin had in mind.
The Athletics were
stymied at the plate yet
again, this time by Mat
Latos and four relievers
in a 6-1 loss to the
Chicago White Sox on
Thursday.
We werent getting
Bob Melvin
many good swings,
Melvin said. We have
some guys with some track records, we have
some guys that can hit. We swung the bat
well coming into the season. In this series
(we) did not. But I expect us to come
around.
Latos gave up one hit over six shutout

innings for his first win since last July,

Jose Abreu hit a two-run homer and the
White Sox gave manager Robin Ventura his
300th career win.
A free agent who struggled this spring
after signing with Chicago in the offseason, Latos (1-0) was stellar in his White
Sox debut while striking out two and walking one.
He retired 13 of the first 14 batters and
didnt allow a baserunner until Chris
Coghlans one-out single in the fifth one
pitch after left fielder J.B. Shuck dropped
Coghlans foul ball.
A lot of it helped with having (backup
catcher Dioner Navarro) behind the plate,
Latos said. I didnt shake him once.
Actually I did and then he kind of looked at
me sideways, and I was, OK, whatever you
want.
Abreu homered on a 1-1 pitch from
Oakland starter Kendall Graveman in the
sixth. The White Sox slugger added a sacrifice fly during Chicagos four-run ninth.
Its been a good start to the season for the
White Sox, who outscored the As 16-10

while taking three of four in the series.

Zach Duke, Matt Albers, Nate Jones and
Zach Putnam combined to pitch the final
three innings, completing the four-hitter
for Chicago.
Dioner Navarro, Tyler Saladino and Melky
Cabrera added RBI singles in the ninth.
Graveman (0-1) pitched well, too, despite
being ill with flu-like symptoms earlier this
week. He allowed three hits in 5 2/3 innings
with four strikeouts and one walk.
Coghlan singled home Oaklands lone run
in the ninth off Putnam.
You look at the four starters we faced,
those are four really good pitchers, As
catcher Stephen Vogt said. Were going to
catch our stride here. Once we get rolling,
this teams going to hit and we feel good
about that.

Still the man

There was some uncertainty about who the
As closer would be after Oakland pitched
lefty Sean Doolittle in the first two games
and then used right-hander Ryan Madson in

Wednesdays win. Melvin said hes open to

using both relievers in the role depending
on the circumstances but was adamant that
the job is Doolittles. If there is some
matchup in the eighth that would suggest
more of a lefty ... we would make an adjustment that way, Melvin said. But as we sit
here Seans our closer when youre breaking
down where our bullpen is.

Trainers room
Athl eti cs : LHP Felix Doubrant is seeking a second opinion on his injured left
elbow. Doubrant has been on the disabled
list since getting hurt while pitching in
Oaklands final spring training game.
Until we have a resolution in what were
doing going forward, Im not sure yet,
Melvin said when asked what the plan is for
the starter.

Up next
Athletics: LHP Eric Surkamp will be
called up from the minors to start in Seattle
on Friday.

Doubleday to Alexander to Adams: Modern baseball may have new a founder

By Andrew Dalton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Modern baseball may

have found its birth certificate. And with it
a new birth date, and new founding father.
Coinciding with the start of the major
league season, a set of game-changing documents went up for sale this week. Their
authenticity and significance are verified by
experts including John Thorn, Major
League Baseballs official historian.
The 1857 documents titled Laws of Base
Ball establish the essentials of the modern
game: The distance of the base paths is 90

feet, the length of the game is nine innings

and nine players are in the field.
And they do it three years earlier than the
1860 birth date now recognized.
The documents were authored by Daniel
Lucius Doc Adams, making him the founding father of Americas pastime, not
Alexander Cartwright, who now is credited.
Hes the true father of baseball and
youve never heard of him, Thorn, a consultant on the sale of the papers, told The
Associated Press in a phone interview.
Southern California-based SCP Auctions
put the documents on sale Wednesday in an
auction that lasts until April 23. There have

been five bids so far and the current highest

bid is $146,410, according to the auction
house.
Adams was the president of the New York
Knickerbockers Base Ball Club, which
hosted a convention of 14 New York-area
clubs to codify the rules of Base Ball. (It
was two words then and in ensuing decades
evolved into base-ball and finally baseball.)
Credit for baseballs basic tenets now lies
with Cartwright, whose plaque in the
Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown,
New York, calls him the father of the modern game. He was not involved in the 1857
meeting.
Hall of Fame spokesman Brad Horn said
there are no plans to change or remove
Cartwrights plaque.
Plaques are cast at the time of an individuals election and rely on best information
available at the time of an individuals
induction, Horn said in an email Thursday.
The Hall of Fame Gallery features a plaque
that calls the visitors attention to this
point.
The documents have not been lost or hidden in recent years but no one quite realized
their significance.
The owner, whose name has not been

released by the auction house, paid $12,000

for them at a 1999 auction of historic documents of all kinds, but they were sold with
no known authorship and minimal description.
They were kept in a desk drawer until
about six months ago, when the buyer
approached SCP Auctions. Their significance slowly emerged after forensic, handwriting and historical analysis.
It just got better and better and more and
more compelling, said Dan Imler, vice
president of SCP Auctions. It was just
mind-blowing once we fully realized what
we had.
The documents capture the game at a
crossroads, when rules for base ball were
arbitrary. Thorn suggests the game could
easily have evolved into having nine pitchers and one batter instead of the opposite,
and it did come very close to having seven
or 12 innings instead of nine.
Thorn said newspaper accounts and other
documents have suggested 1857 as the
founding year and that Adams was responsible. But they didnt carry the weight of documents that stipulate specific rules.
I call these improbable survivors,
Thorn said. Its finding what you could not
have imagined might have existed.

Sharks lose yet another home game

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN JOSE Dustin Byfuglien

scored with 10 seconds remaining
to give the Winnipeg Jets a 5-4
victory over the San Jose Sharks
on Thursday night for their first
three-game winning streak of the
season.
Mark Scheifele had two goals
for the Jets, who had won two
straight 10 times before finally
breaking through. Andrew Copp
and Blake Wheeler also scored for
the Jets. Wheeler set a career-high
with points in his 10th straight,
currently the longest active streak
in the NHL.
Patrick Marleau, Joe Pavelski,
Joe Thornton and Paul Martin also
scored for the Sharks, who lost for
the second time in their last six.

Martin Jones stopped 21 of 26

shots for the Sharks, while Ondrej
Pavelec saved 21 of 25 shots for
the Jets.
Pavelski gave the Sharks a 1-0
lead midway through the first period, finding an opening after
Thornton picked up a deflection
and pushed it to Pavelski on the
right side of the crease.
Scheifele tied it with a powerplay goal midway through the second period. He threw the puck
across the front of the net and it
bounced off Roman Poleks skate
and past Jones.
Thornton scored on a power
play three minutes later and
Martin gave the Sharks a 3-1 edge
with just under five minutes to go
in the second.
Copp scored with an assist from

Byfuglien to make 3-2, and

Wheeler tied it a minute later.
Marleau put the Sharks back in

Cal assistant basketball coach decides to resign

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BERKELEY A University of California,

Berkeley assistant basketball coach resigned
Thursday after sexual harassment allegations
from a reporter, dropping his appeal of the
schools attempt to fire him.
Yann Hufnagels resignation came a day
before the results of the review were to be
released and amid an outcry over the universitys handling of sexual harassment claims
against high-profile officials.

Those circumstances led

Hufnagel to decide it was
best to drop the issue.
The toxic environment
at UC Berkeley has made it
impossible
for
Mr.
Hufnagel to rejoin the basketball team he loves,
even if he is vindicated in
Yann Hufnagel full, as the facts would
show, his attorney, Mary
McNamara, said in a statement. He needs to

look out for the student-athletes he coached,

as well as his own future.
The school gave Hufnagel a termination
notice last month, just before his Cal Bears
team after a relatively successful season was
about to enter the NCAA tournament.
The university had launched the inquiry into
Hufnagel last year after the female journalist
covering the team sent head Coach Cuonzo
Martin a long email describing in graphic
detail unwelcome advances from the assistant.
The allegations against Hufnagel were

among many recent high-profile sexual

harassment cases at UC Berkeley that have
raised questions over top officials handling
of them. Other cases involved a renowned
astronomy professor, a vice chancellor and
the law school dean.
Officials are also conducting a review into
whether Martin handled the situation correctly.
Athletic Director Mike Williams said he
expects the results of the review will support
the teams confidence in Martin.

Raiders sign free-agent safety Reggie Nelson
ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders signed free-agent safety Reggie Nelson on Thursday, giving them a replacement
for retired Pro Bowler Charles Woodson
and a proven starter in the secondary.
The 32-year-old Nelson is coming off
his best season, having tied for the NFL
lead with eight interceptions last season
for Cincinnati. He was also selected to
the first Pro Bowl of his career.
Nelson entered the league as a firstround draft pick by Jacksonville in 2007
when current Raiders coach Jack Del Rio
Reggie Nelson was coach of the Jaguars. After three seasons with Jacksonville, Nelson was traded to Cincinnati before the start of the 2010 season and has
spent the past six seasons with the Bengals.
Nelson has 30 interceptions and 82 passes defensed in
138 career games.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. New England Patriots safety
Nate Ebner has been called up to the U.S. Rugby Sevens for
a tournament in Hong Kong as he tries to make the team that
will play in the Rio Olympics.
Ebner was named an injury replacement for sprinter Carlin
Isles on Thursday.
A rugby All-American at Ohio State, Ebner was a sixthround draft pick by the Patriots in 2012. The NFL team gave
him permission to train with the U.S. team as it prepares for
the Summer Games.
The Olympic squad will be announced on July 5.

Brazilian police probe whether

water utility treats sewage
RIO DE JANEIRO Brazilian police say they are investigating whether Rio de Janeiros state water utility may be
committing environmental crimes by failing to treat
sewage.
Officer Marcelo Prudente says police investigators visited
at least six of Rios main sewage treatment plants to take
samples for testing.
The plants are located on lagoons in western Rio near the
Olympic Park and on the sewage-polluted Guanabara Bay,
where Olympic sailing events are to be held.
Prudente didnt elaborate on the technical aspect, but said
the tests could lead to charges of environmental crime and
larceny against the utility.
Thursdays police operation took place on the same day
Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes inaugurated the revamped marina
on the Guanabara Bay that is to be the starting point of the
Olympic sailing competition.

Defending champ Spieth leads Masters again

By Doug Ferguson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AUGUSTA, Ga. Jordan Spieth atop the

leaderboard might be the latest tradition at
Augusta National.
One year later, hes still the man to beat at
the Masters.
Six tough par saves and six birdies sent
Spieth to a 6-under 66 on Thursday and a twoshot lead in a strong wind that made Augusta
National play tough for just about everyone
except the defending champion.
Coming off his wire-to-wire victory last
year, Spieth now has five straight rounds in
the lead, and six out of the last seven when he
was tied or leading. One more and he would
match the longest streak since Arnold Palmer
in 1960 and the opening two rounds of 1961.
And just like last year, now its time for the
rest of the field to try to catch him.
Were through one round, Spieth said.
Theres going to be a lot of different
changes. There are going to be a lot of different birdies, bogeys and everything in
between. We know how to win this golf tournament, and we believe in our process. And if
the putts are dropping, then hopefully it goes
our way.

ROB SCHUMACHER/USA TODAY SPORTS

Jordan Spieth, who won the 21015 Master

championship, fired a 6-under 66 to lead after
the first round of the 2016 tournament.
They were dropping, which is why Spieth
had the only bogey-free round on a day where
the wind made that seem unlikely.
He had a two-shot lead over Danny Lee and
Shane Lowry.
The battle among the modern Big Three
and other top players expected to contend did
not take shape.
Jason Day, the No. 1 player in the world and
Masters favorite, was on the verge of catch-

ing Spieth until a mini-meltdown. He threeputted for bogey on the par-5 15th, pulled his
tee shot into the water on the par-3 16th and
made triple bogey, and then sailed the green
on the 17th for another bogey. Just like that,
the Australian was back to even par.
It could happen to anyone, Day said.
Even though I gave up five shots in three
holes, Im only six back. I know I can catch
up.
Right when Day was falling apart, McIlroy
holed an 18-foot eagle putt on the 13th and
looked to be on his way in his bid to win a
green jacket and complete the career Grand
Slam. He was within two shots of the lead
until he three-putted the 16th for bogey and
missed the 18th green to the right, was
plugged in a bunker and dropped another shot
for a 70. Even so, it was his best start since
2011.
If somebody had given me a 70 on the first
day, I would have taken it, McIlroy said. Im
a little disappointed in the way I finished.
Bubba Watson, a two-time champion, had a
41 on the back nine and shot 75. He wasnt
even low Watson 66-year-old Tom Watson,
in his last Masters, shot 74. Adam Scott,
coming off two victories in Florida last
month, opened with a 76.
Rickie Fowler had his worst score ever at

Augusta National by posting an 80, with 44

of those shots coming on the back nine.
Spieth simply picked up where he left off a
year ago.
Never mind that he discovered a hairline
crack in his driver during Wednesday practice
and had to find a backup for the opening
round. Or that he was hearing questions about
what was wrong with his game from not having seriously contended in the last two
months.
Spieth was at Augusta National, a course
that feels like home for the 22-year-old
Texan.
That was a flawless round of golf, said
Paul Casey, who played with Spieth and posted a solid 69. I played a wonderful round of
golf, but it was great to have a front row seat
to watch that.
For all the birdies none longer than 12
feet the pars make Spieth look so tough to
beat.
He settled himself early with a beautiful
pitch across the first green to 2 feet. He
pumped his fist with a tough pitch over the
bunker and to the upper tier on No. 4. He gambled with a 4-iron through a tiny gap in the
trees on the 11th and made it pay off with
another par. On 16, he kept his card clean by
ramming in a 15-foot par putt.

Els out of contention after six-putt first hole

with Els. You dont want to see any player
go through something like that. It can be
sometimes career ending for guys like that
if they really are fighting it that much. I just
want Ernie to kind of get back to what he
used to do, and start playing some good golf
again and try to get past this.
Els correct score was finally posted after
he finished his round.
Not that it was much solace to the South
African.
I cant get the putter to go back, Els
said. Im not sure where I go from here.
Tom Watson, playing in the Masters for
the final time, said Els putts were harder
than they might have looked, especially on
a blustery day.
Its probably the windiest green on the
golf course, Watson said.
But Els said the conditions had nothing
with it.
He three-putted from 25 feet at No. 2. He
missed a 6-footer at the 15th, an 8-footer at
the 16th, and a 4-footer at the 17th. Finally,
he closed with a three-putt from 16 feet at
the final hole, the crowd groaning one last

time in the fading sunlight.

Els only real highlight with the putter
was a 40-foot birdie at the fifth.
I can count up 15 shots I lost out there
just on the greens, Els moaned.
After the third putt at No. 1, Els stared at
the ball with a disbelieving hint of a smile.
By the end, he let his frustration get the best
of him, making a half-hearted flick at the
ball with one hand on the club from less
than a foot away. Naturally, it lipped out.
This one wouldve been tough to take for
a weekend duffer.
Imagine how a guy who has won four
major titles mustve felt, though it wasnt
the first time Els has come down with the
yips at a major championship.
At the first hole of the 2014 British Open,
he struck a spectator in the face with his
opening tee shot and was still shaken when
he got to the green. Els missed a 1-foot putt,
and then missed again when he carelessly
tried to back-hand the ball into the hole.
But that was only a triple-bogey.
Els kept saying that hes at a loss to
explain his putting woes.

REGION 1

AUGUSTA, Ga. Ernie Els was 2 feet

from a par to start the Masters.
Twenty-four measly inches.
Then, the unimaginable happened.
One miss. And another. And another. And
another. And another.
Finally, on his sixth putt a one-handed
swat that showed his total disgust Els
finished off a quintuple-bogey 9 that essentially ruined any hope of contending for a
green jacket on the very first hole Thursday.
Talk about a hard one to take for the Big
Easy.
I cant explain it, said Els, who went on
to shoot an 8-over 80 that matched his
highest score ever at Augusta National and
left him a whopping 14 shots behind leader
Jordan Spieth. Youre not able to do what
you normally do. Its unexplainable.
Els posted the worst score ever at No. 1, a
445-yarder known as Tea Olive.
No one at the Masters had ever gone higher than 8 on the par-4 hole.

I feel bad for Ernie,

said Spieth, the defending Masters champion.
Its obviously in your
head. Ive certainly had

has, from short range,
where they just are not
confident in where they
are starting it. And on

Nationals
greens, with the wind blowing, its a place
you certainly want to be comfortable.
Making the whole scene downright surreal, none of the putts appeared longer than 4
feet. Els just kept knocking the ball back
and forth past the cup, totally bedeviled by
not only the slick, treacherous greens at
Augusta National, but basically a meltdown
in his mental approach.
He missed so many times, the score was
initially recorded as a 10 instead of a 9. It
was easy to lose count. Even Els wasnt
quite sure how many times he putted.
Its the first time Ive ever seen anything
like that, said Jason Day, who was playing

TITLE
Continued from page 11
The final few strands were cut by senior
wing Jake Killingsworth, who not only
earned West Catholic Athletic League Player
of the Year honors, but was also the Daily
Journals Boys Player of the Year and the
CCS Player of the Year as well.
Killingsworth, who transferred to Serra
from Arkansas during his sophomore year,
may have initially been an outsider, a guy
who has not grown up a member of the Serra
family. But after helping lead the Padres to
a CCS Open Division title his junior year and
the state championship this season,
Killingsworth now embodies Serras motto:
once a Padre, always a Padre.
Everyone did a great job of accepting me
into the Serra family, Killingsworth said.
This (winning the state crown) just builds on
the legacy.
Not familiar with the Serra tradition when
he arrived on campus, Killingsworth wasnt
sure what the future held for him. Was a state
championship on his radar his sophomore
season?
No, Killingsworth said bluntly. When I

came to California, it was so much bigger

than Arkansas. So many schools. State champions were only teams that were powerhouses.
But once I saw how it worked league,
CCS, Nor Cals I thought, You know, if we
ever get a really good team .
On the other end of the spectrum is Testa,
who first became enamored with Serra basketball while still in elementary school. Testa
got his first glimpse of what Serra basketball
was all about while watching his older brother James play. James started his high school
career at Terra Nova and ended it at Carlmont.
They put everything on the floor, Testa
said of his first impression of the Padres.
You could see with that Serra logo across
the chest, it was just different.
After Killingsworth cut down the net,
Ayoob brought coach Chuck Rapp to address
the student body.
The last time I spoke in front of the student body was during a rally before the first
state championship game in 2005, Rapp
said. That was the last time I spoke in front
of the student body.
Rapp has developed a cult-like following
on the Serra campus over the years. He gets
nearly as many accolades from the Padres
cheering section than any of the players during the season. Before Thursdays ceremony

Jason Morabe cuts down part of the net as

part of Serras state basketball championship.
Morabe, a junior, was a team manager last
year before making the squad this season.
even started, a chant of, Rapp! Rapp! Rapp!
erupted from a small but voracious
group as Rapp tried to enter the gym unassumingly.
If there is one guy who is truly ill at ease
about all the hoopla, its Rapp, who went on
to thank everyone associated with the program: from the players to the student managers and his coaching staff Sean Dugoni,
Brian Carson and Anthony DeMartini.
These guys are the best, Rapp said about
his staff. They make me look good.

For Rapp, winning the state championship

was the culmination of this season. And
while he truly appreciates what this team
accomplished and his role in it, It allows me
to check that off my personal bucket list,
Rapp said, adding he is already starting to
look forward to next year and a new journey.
Because he does not try to win titles for
himself, but for his kids. Players come and go
while Rapp remains, and he said he owes it to
the kids to do everything he can to make
them successful.
The kids truly inspire me, Rapp said.
They may have only two years at the varsity
level. (Winning) is their dream. You owe it to
them to do the best I can possibly do.
Rapp encouraged not only his team but the
entire Serra student body to have a dream,
protect it and strive to reach it.
It all starts with a dream and a man without
a dream is a coward, Rapp said, paraphrasing
Proverbs 29:18. First you have to find your
dream and chase it. Thats what these guys
(the team) did.
Killingsworth, Rapp and Testa all agreed
that the gravity of their accomplishments
wouldnt truly sink in for a few years.
Right now, its nice, Killingsworth said.
But I dont think Ill truly understand what it
means to the Serra community until after I
graduate college, start a job, start a family.
Testa said when he finally does understand
the true magnitude of what the 2015-16 team
accomplished, he will look back on his senior year and feel satisfied.
For a lot of people, there is always
regrets. Every basketball player I know has
regrets. Man, we could have won it all that
year, Testa said. Im one of the few who can
look back his career and say I had no regrets.

Only one service area in San Mateo County
missed their target residents in California
Water Service Companys Bear Gulch
District, which includes large landscaped
properties in Atherton, Portola Valley,
Woodside, as well as parts of unincorporated
Redwood City and the county. Customers
were ordered to cut back 36 percent, but narrowly missed the mark by 1.3 percent. Cal
Water spokeswoman Yvonne Kingman said
customers are continuing to reduce and is
hopeful theyll keep up the trend.
Our customers did such a fantastic job last
summer, Kingman said, noting it is harder to
cut back during winter months when outdoor
irrigation is already at a low. We really want
to continue to encourage them to use water
wisely. I think different methods work for
different people, certainly nothing is a one
size fits all.
Cal Water encouraged Bear Gulch customers
to cut back through incentive programs
through which 25 rebates were issued for turf
replacement projects totaling about
$20,000. Another 346 customers received
rebates totaling about $43,000 for programs
such replacing appliances or devices with

shops.
Officials expressed excitement to finally
land a tenant for the 90,000-square-foot
building, closing the book on a source of
much consternation since the department
store closed.
This is long awaited and we were very
patient to attract the right kind of business
to Millbrae, said Mayor Anne Oliva.
She noted the business would be unlike
any other nearby, which could draw shoppers from across the Peninsula to Millbrae.
Its new, its unique, its a fresh generational idea, she said. And its not like
there is going to be another one down the
street.
Community Development Director Tonya
Ward expressed a similar sentiment, in an
email.

dates if snowpack and reservoir levels have

significantly increased.
March brought us much needed rain and
snow after a frightening February, water
board Chair Felicia Marcus said in a press
release. We are in better shape than last year,
but are still below average in most of
California. We need to keep up our efforts to
conserve the water weve gotten. We can better tune up and adjust our emergency rules
once we see our final rain and snowpack tallies in the next few weeks.
BAWSCA plans to recommend the board
eases mandates for certain communities over
the summer. Sandkulla said BAWSCA will
highlight the significant water reductions
locals have made and support a move away
from the current gallons per person per day
target toward a system based on an agencys
own supply reliability. Meaning, those with
reliable access to water should have less
stringent mandates.

According to the water board, only 55 percent of suppliers met their February targets
and it will to host a workshop April 20 as it
considers possibly changing drought man-

But like other conservation gurus,

Sandkulla emphasized customers should stick
to their thrifty ways.
Despite the recent precipitation, which
has resulted in increased water storage in the
reservoirs and snow in the mountains, we
encourage every customer to continue their
efforts to reduce water use, Sandkulla said in
an email. Drought is a natural occurrence in
California and while this year may truly be

the end of this drought, it could also just be a

wet year in the middle of many dry years.
But utilities and suppliers must still make
ends meet, particularly as consumption has
gone down. Many San Mateo County residents could face double-digit increases in the
price of water as the SFPUC has proposed
raising wholesale rates by about 8 percent.
The increase to those sipping from the Hetch
Hetchy Reservoir will help the SFPUC pay
for a $4.8 billion systemwide upgrade and
individual suppliers typically increase rates
to cover maintenance costs.
Kingman said Cal Water is trying to show
its customers some appreciation by easing up
on penalties for those who go only slightly
above their water budgets. With two tiers,
those who exceed their budgets by 500 cubic
feet, or approximately 3,740 gallons, will
not receive any penalties. Those who use
more than that will have a $10 penalty per
hundred cubic feet above their allocation,
Kingman said.
Agreeing theres no firm end to the drought
in sight, Kingman said water providers
should do their best to instill lasting behaviors.
Weve had the drought for four years, so
the one wet winter isnt going to get us out of
it, Kingman said, adding the behavioral
shift is needed in the state. These droughts
come around and just because weve received
more rain, we dont want to stop using water
wisely.

Living Spaces furniture will be a regional

draw, contribute to Millbrae Squares economic vitality and anchor the northern end
of Millbraes downtown on Broadway, she
said.
The home furnishing company, which was
founded in 2003, is aiming to further branch
out to the Bay Area and the Millbrae location
is among two, along with a store in San
Leandro, which are planned to open up shop
in Northern California this year. The closest
existing store is located in Fremont.
Living Spaces representatives also
expressed an enthusiasm for the opportunity
to open a new store.
Living Spaces will be a benefit to the
community by offering a variety of furniture and home accessories at attractive
price points and a comfortable, no pressure shopping experience, said Brian
Saltikov, a company representative, in a
letter to city officials. With very limited
furniture options on the 101 corridor our
new location will be conveniently located
to the citizens of Millbrae and the sur-

rounding community.
The store plans to fill all three stories of
the vacant building, and anticipates hiring
50 full-time employees, as well as 20 parttime employees, with between 30 and 35
being present daily, serving an estimated
250 daily shoppers.
Millbrae officials have long waited for the
opportunity to land a tenant for the Kohls
space which will generate sales tax revenue
for the city.
In November, the Planning Commission
shot down a proposal by the Central
Peninsula Church to lease the bottom two
stories of the former Kohls building, under
a recommendation from city officials that a
retailer which could attract shoppers to
Millbrae would be the ideal use for the site.
Landing Living Spaces marks the final
piece of an attempt to rejuvenate the marketplace, as officials approved in February
plans to overhaul the existing exterior of
Millbrae Square Shopping Center and make
it more visually appealing.
The approved projects include repainting,

adding a new awning, posting a new sign,

resurfacing the parking lot, and work is
already underway, according to a city report.
Living Spaces intends to refurbish the former Kohls store as well, by adding wood
panels to the exterior, repainting the building, installing new windows and posting a
new sign, among other efforts.
Oliva said the Living Spaces design will
be aligned with the ongoing facelift at the
Millbrae Square Shopping Center.
It is in perfect sync with what the rest of
the complex is doing, and the timing couldnt be better, she said. We are going to
have a whole new, fresh look.
The complexs facelift will help the city
accomplish its goal of collecting more tax
revenue from the keystone commercial site,
according to a city report.
Oliva added that she believed the new furniture store would be a harbinger of more
business investment in the city.
This is going to be the first of many good
things to come to Millbrae in the future,
she said.

high-efficiency models, according to

Kingman.
The countys other most notorious gulpers,
those in the town of Hillsborough, were
extremely successful over the last nine
months. Residents exceeded the states highest 36 percent target by cutting back 42 percent, according to the water board.
Residents in Cal Waters South San
Francisco district surpassed its mandate by
12.4 percent after squeezing out a 20.4 percent reduction. They also used the least
amount of water capping off at an average of
just 37.5 gallons per person in February. The
city of South San Francisco, along with
Menlo Park, were recipients of this years
Silicon Valley Water Conservation Awards.
Nicole Sandkulla, CEO of the Bay Area
Water Supply and Conservation Agency, said
the entire county has done exceptionally
well. BAWSCA represents the interests of 24
Peninsula cities and two utilities that purchase wholesale water from the San Francisco
Public Utilities Commission. Across its service area and in San Mateo County, customers
have exceeded the governors mandates by
reducing a cumulative 26.5 percent, according to Sandkulla.

The Boss misses the mark

By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The search continues for a suitable showcase for the awesome talents of Melissa McCarthy outside
of films directed by Paul Feig.
The latest vehicle to give it a try,
The Boss, has a promising

enough blueprint for comedy.

McCarthy plays the red-haired,
thoroughly turtlenecked Michelle
Darnell, a ruthless, self-made executive whose Martha Stewart-like
descent lands her in white-collar
prison. Penniless upon release, she
moves in with her former and much
mistreated assistant Claire (Kristen

Bell) and her daughter Rachel (Ella

Anderson).
But, as in McCarthys slipshod
road movies Identity Thief and
Tammy, the material here isnt on
her level, the laughs are largely
cheap and once again, the hall-offame comic actress is stuck in a
minor-league movie.

Like Tammy, The Boss was

directed
by
Ben
Falcone,
McCarthys husband and longtime
collaborator, and written by them
both. (Steve Mallory, who also
dates back to their improv days at
the Upright Citizens Brigade, also

New Star Wars trailer previews the story of rebels past

By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES The dust has barely

settled from Star Wars: The Force
Awakens, but audiences already have a
new installment to get excited for.
The world got a glimpse of Rogue One:
A Star Wars Story in a teaser trailer that
debuted Thursday on Good Morning
America and quickly became a top trending topic on Twitter. The movie looks
back to the events before 1977s A New
Hope, introducing the ragtag rebels who
unite to steal plans for the Death Star.
One of them is Felicity Jones from The
Theory of Everything, whose blasterwielding character Jyn Erso is featured
prominently in the spot as shes tasked
with the dangerous mission. The film is
directed by Gareth Edwards, best known for
the 2014 reboot of Godzilla.
Rogue One, which hits theaters on

Dec. 16, also stars Diego Luna, Forest

Whitaker, Ben Mendelsohn and martial

In the world of Rogue One, Edwards
said at a fan event last year, the absence
of Jedi is omnipresent.

pitches in on the screenplay).
In both films, the premise is solidly
rooted in the common frustrations of
thoughtless bosses and dead-end jobs.
Tammys midlife crisis was partially
prompted by a meltdown with her fastfood manager (played by Falcone), but
in The Boss, Bells Claire is the one
suffering under tyrants.
Michelle is introduced as the 47th
wealthiest woman in America, a perch
she flaunts as a finance guru. At an
arena rally, she descends to the stage
on a bird with dollar bills showering
her. Shes Suze Orman times a hundred.
Her downfall is plotted by a business rival, Renault (Peter Dinklage),
who gets her locked up for insider trading. Claire, a single mother, finds
another job with yet another uncaring
supervisor (the underused Cecily

Strong). But Michelle turns up on
Claires Chicago doorstep, looking
for a place to stay.
The first sign of trouble in The
Boss isnt the lack of a Bruce
Springsteen cameo, but Michelles
first night on Claires couch bed.
When she sits down, the bed violently
flings her high up on the wall, a crudely brutal, digitally faked moment of
poorly calibrated slapstick that seems
to exist only for the movies trailer.
Other such bits crop up, like a tumble down stone steps by Michelle,
that feel like desperate reaches for
laughs. After attending Rachels Girl
Scouts meeting, Michelle hits on an
idea for a homemade brownie operation that will teach young women
more capitalistic ideals and give them
a percent of the profits, too.
By even the standards of redemptive
occupations in comedies, its a thin
concept. But Michelles rival troupe
of treat-selling girls begins to take
off, bringing back all of Michelles
hard-nosed business tactics. A street

fight between the girls follows, as

does the expected lesson about family
and generosity.
The Boss is tighter than Tammy
and its not without laughs. With few
supporting players providing much
humor (Kathy Bates, as Michelles
mentor, is entirely squandered),
McCarthy shoulders the film. And she
remains a captivating, unpredictable
force in even a mediocre film, with a
rare gift for both bombastic and humble
characters, sweetness and crassness,
physical comedy and verbal spats.
But so far, those gifts have only
been fully put to use by Feig. Their
films together Bridesmaids, The
Heat and Spy are a class above
the rest. Thankfully, their next one,
Ghostbusters, is due this summer.
The Boss, a Universal Pictures
release, is rated R by the Motion
Picture Association of America for
sexual content, language and brief
drug use. Running time: 99 minutes.
Two stars out of four.

American Idol crowns 15th

and final winner as show ends
By Lynn Elber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES The first

American Idol finale in 2002 was a
battle of the sexes, with Kelly
Clarkson the victor over Justin
Guarini. The last contest settled the
score as Trent Harmon defeated
LaPorsha Renae for the crown.
Harmon tumbled to the stage in surprise as host Ryan Seacrest announced
him as the 15th and final winner of
American Idol, which ended its
remarkable run Thursday.
I know that I have a God-given ability, but I didnt want to take it for granted. I wanted to work so, so hard, and
she pushed me to do it, a tearful
Harmon said of Renae, who stood
poised and smiling by his side.
Harmon, 24, who described himself
as just a dude from Mississippi, waited tables at his familys restaurant in
Amory before trying out for American
Idol.
He won viewers over with his supple
vocals and increasingly assured stage
presence, and they voted him into history as the shows last champion.
Harmon earned a record contract along
with the honor.

American Idol,
once a ratings powerhouse that influenced TV and music, had suffered steady
audience erosion before Fox decided it
would end this season.
Series executive producer Nigel
Lythgoe promised the finale would celebrate its large ranks of contestants,
not big-name guests as in previous
years, and he stuck to that pledge.
The show opened with a harmonizing
chorus of white-clad winners and contenders including Scotty McCreery,
Taylor Hicks and Diana DeGarmo.
Other familiar faces from years past
popped up in solos and group numbers,
including Carrie Underwood, Jennifer
Hudson, David Cook, Fantasia, Ruben
Studdard, Jordin Sparks and Kimberley
Locke.
Judges got in on the act as well.
Keith Urban and Underwood dueted,

while Harry Connick Jr. saluted a music

center in New Orleans Katrina battered-Ninth Ward by inviting a young
student, Marley Fletcher, to join him
on Its a Wonderful World. Jennifer
Lopez performed her new single.
Clarkson, whos expecting her second child soon, appeared in a pre-taped
performance.
There was a brief nod to nostalgia,
with clips from past auditions presided
over by original judges Simon Cowell,
Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson. Abdul
and Jackson showed up to salute
Seacrest for his longevity, with Cowell
strolling on stage belatedly to steal the
spotlight.
Im feeling quite emotional now,
said the usually acerbic Cowell.
President Barack Obama was the
unexpected opening act. In apparently
pre-taped remarks, Obama congratulated the show on its long run and noted
that it motivated millions of young
people to vote for contestants.
Then he made a pitch for Americans
to demonstrate that same eagerness at
the polls, calling voting the most fundamental and sacred rite of democracy.
I believe it should be almost as easy as
voting on American Idol. And were
working on that, Obama said.

The old jail is a steel frame structure
with concrete panels and walls.
All bureaus in the department will
move to the new headquarters except
the Transportation Bureau, which will
remain in its small office on the fourth
floor of the Hall of Justice.
The new headquarters will also have a
1,350 square-foot community room
which can be used for a wide variety of
events and meetings, according to
Munks report.
There is no timeline for when the
project may be completed.

will lead staff to sit down with the volleyball advocates, some who coach the
girls volleyball teams at Half Moon
Bay High School.
The teams previously practiced
beach volleyball at Montara State
Beach but they have been washed away
due to recent storms, Coach Greg
Merkes and others wrote to the commission.
McGrath said staff will sit down with

the group Friday to discuss their idea.

They say Perched Beach is perfect for
volleyball since it is dry, not subject
to storm loss and already has sand. The
girls volleyball teams proposed to
provide and install the posts, set in
sand not concrete, and nets that would
also be available for use by the general public.
The Harbor District is a special tax
district that is funded by San Mateo
County taxpayers and enterprise activities such as renting boat slips. Its
annual budget is about $10 million.

IS abducts dozens
near Damascus,
fighting worsens
By Zeina Karam and Sarah El Deeb
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT In a brazen assault near the

Syrian capital, Islamic State militants
abducted 300 cement workers and contractors from their workplace northeast of
Damascus on Thursday, as fighting against
the extremist group raged in the countrys
north ahead of a new round of peace talks.
In a blow to the Islamic militants, however, rebel fighters wrested control of a
northern border town, potentially undermining IS supply lines across the border
with Turkey and endangering one of its
most important strongholds in Aleppo
province.
The U.N. special envoy for Syria, meanwhile, said the next round of peace talks in
Geneva was expected to start next week,
around April 13, and would focus on a political process he hopes will lead to a con-

crete or real beginning of a political transition.

Speaking to reporters in Geneva, Staffan
de Mistura said he was encouraged by the
fact that a partial cease-fire has largely held
since going into effect Feb. 27, despite a
series of worrisome incidents that continue
to happen on a daily basis.
State TV said Thursdays mass abduction

Company took place in Dumeir, about 28

There was no formal responsibility claim
saying there had been no success in efforts
for the kidnapping, but the IS-linked Aamaq of Islam rebel group which has a strong

Siege tactics complicate fight for key Islamic Stat-held Iraqi town
By Susannah George
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HIT, Iraq As they advanced on the

Islamic State-held town of Hit, Iraqi counterterrorism troops had to decide how to
press the attack. If they stormed in with
armor and airstrikes, they risked heavy
casualties and might allow the militants to
flee.
Gen. Abdel Ghani al-Asadi, the command-

er of the elite troops, chose a different

approach: Surround the strategic western
town with a slow and methodical cordon,
trapping the extremists inside.
Its a tactic thats been used elsewhere to
claw back Iraqi territory that was seized by
the Islamic State group in 2014.
While the decision may have been more
time-consuming, allowing the militants in
Hit to dig in, lay defenses and launch
attacks that initially also trapped tens of
thousands of civilians, Iraqi forces believe

the approach is a key to making their territorial gains stick and reduce their casualties.
Six counterterrorism battalions pushed up
from the west last weekend to cut off Hits
northern edge, zigzagging in the soft desert
terrain and taking more than 12 hours to
advance only a few kilometers (miles).
We dont want them to be able to flee,
al-Asadi said, referring to the IS fighters.
We want them to stay inside so we can finish them.

If the militants escaped, he said, they

would probably return and infiltrate the
town once his men had moved on to the
next battle.
Hit, in Anbar province west of the capital
of Baghdad, sits along an IS supply line
that links Iraqi territory controlled by the
extremist group with its base in Syria.
Officials in the Iraqi military and the U.S.led coalition fighting IS believe that by
clearing the town, they can build on recent
territorial gains in the vast province.
