Studies weigh the impacts of office and

By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The first of many reports linking the impact of new housing and office projects to the demand for affordable housing
shows that developers can pay cities significantly more in
fees and still maintain a profit.
The studies use a methodology that establishes a connection between the development of commercial space such as
offices or hotels and market-rate housing and the need to
expand the supply of affordable housing.
Cities in San Mateo County have paid a consultant to prepare a nexus study on housing impact and commercial linkage fees developers could afford to pay when they build market-rate condominiums or apartments, offices, restaurants

SAN FRANCISCO A serial rapist
testified Wednesday in California that
forgetfulness led him to let the power in
his ankle monitor run too low twice

Hubbart, 64, was released from a state

He has acknowledged raping at least

Kybella for adults with moderate or


severe fat below the chin, or submental
fat. Its the first approved drug for
Kythera Biopharmaceuticals.
The drug is a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a chemical the FDA said is
naturally produced by the body and
helps it absorb fats. It destroys fat cells
by breaking down the cell membrane.
The agency says patients can get up to
50 injections in one sitting, but treatments should be at least one month apart
and patients should get no more than
six.
Kythera plans to start selling Kybella
in the second half of 2015, and said in
regulatory filings that it thinks the
injection could top $500 million in
annual sales.
The Westlake, California, company
said deoxycholic acid is a safe ingredient
found in several other approved drugs. It
has also filed for marketing approval in
Australia, Canada and Switzerland and
wants to market the drug in other countries.
Citing market research and surveys by
dermatologists, Kythera says U.S. consumers spend more than $1 billion a
year on cosmetic facial injections like
the anti-wrinkle treatment Botox and
dermal fillers, and that number is expected to keep growing. Many patients who
undergo those treatments would also be
willing to have a Kybella injection to
eliminate fat under their chins, the company said in filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

School tax campaign collects nearly $60K


Advocates have rallied significant support for San Carlos Measure P
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The war chest for the parcel tax slated to


support San Carlos schools is spilling
over, as the advocacy campaign for the
May 5 election controls a fund worth nearly $60,000, according to documents filed
with the Elections Office.
San Carlos residents received ballots
earlier this month asking support for
Measure P, a $246 parcel tax, that would
benefit local schools in a mail-only election.
More than 80 residents, companies and
organizations have contributed to the
campaign that, if approved, would extend
Measure B, the districts current parcel tax
which is slated to expire in June, and
increase it by $58. The proposal also bundles the extension with Measure A, the districts current $110 parcel tax. The proposed measure would expire in 2021.
According to the most recent documents
filed with the San Mateo County Elections
Office, spanning from March 22 through
April 18, five organizations and companies led the fundraising effort by contributing nearly $1,000 to Citizens for
San Carlos campaign.
Parent teacher associations from Brittan
Acres and White Oaks elementary schools
both contributed $999, and Dwell Realtors
of San Carlos, BFK Engineers of Redwood
City and Blach Construction Company of
San Jose all contributed $1, 000. San
Carlos Councilman Mark Olbert and his
wife Barbara McHugh donated a combined
$2,000.
According to Jaime Kuryllo, of the
Elections Office, no documents have been
filed detailing fundraising to oppose the
tax.
Julia Horak, who is coordinating the
advocacy effort, said the campaign has
relied heavily on the efforts of volunteers
to handle tasks such as calling residents
and promoting the parcel tax.
She said the response to the campaign
has been largely positive, which encourages her to believe the measure will be
approved.

Im convinced it is going to pass, she
said.
In the previous round of fundraising,
spanning from when the district Board of
Trustees approved putting the tax on the
ballot in late January through March 21,
more than $26,000 of the current total was
raised by a variety of individuals and agencies.
The districts Chief Operating Officer
Robert Porter, as well as Orrick,
Herrington, Sutcliffe LLP of San Francisco
and Keygent Advisors of El Segundo gave
the campaign $1, 500. Concord Iron
Works of Pittsburg donated $2,500, and
Stifel Nicolaus & Company of Los
Angeles donated $3,500.
K2A LLP and Dannis, Woliver, Kelley,
both of San Francisco, and Anza
Engineering Corporation, of Brentwood,
gave $1,000. While parent teacher associations from Tierra Linda, Arundel, Central
middle schools and Heather Elementary
School all donated $999.
The campaign began with a fund balance
of about $15,000, which was carried over
from previous tax campaign measures.
Almost $5,000 remain unspent from the
reserve, but Horak said she expects there
will be another round of mailers that go
out this weekend, which will put a dent in
the fund. She said she hopes there will be
some money left over for future campaigns.
The campaign had raised about $45,000
through April 18. Horak said she ultimately expects to collect about $60,000 in
donations.
A majority of the revenue from the
fundraising effort has been spent to pay
roughly $50,000 to TBWB Strategies to
orchestrate the parcel tax campaign.
The foundations other major expenditure is $1,000 to Michael Norton, who
serves as the campaign manager.

Carlos Teachers Association donated


between $250 and $500 to the campaign.
Advocates claim the parcel tax is necessary to attract and retain quality educators.
Should the tax measure fail, it would cost
the district nearly $9.5 million over the
next six years, which would result in
increased class sizes, reduced educational
services, and could potentially drive
teachers away from the district since a
majority of money from the tax is spent
on salaries, according to the campaign.
Teachers in San Carlos received a 2 percent raise last year, which marked the third
consecutive year educators have accepted a
pay bump. Teachers made an average of
about $74,000 last year, according to data
from the San Mateo County Office of
Education.
Members of the Silicon Valley
Taxpayers Association oppose the tax and
claim the district should live within its
means, rather than continue to ask the
community to support tax measures.
But advocates note the anti-tax group
has traditionally fought public financing
models throughout San Mateo County,
though many members of the group do not
live in San Carlos.
Horak praised all the contributors, who
have donated or volunteered to the campaign.
Its true what they say, strong schools
build strong communities, she said.

Many eighth-graders score


poorly on history, civics exam
By Kimberly Hefling
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Time for another


history lesson. Only about a quarter of
eighth-graders showed solid performance or better in U.S. history, civics and
geography on tests known as the
Nations Report Card.
The 2014 results from the National
Assessment of Educational Progress
released Wednesday were similar to
those four years ago when the assessments were last administered. Students
did better overall in U.S. history and
civics than their peers in the 1990s
when the tests were first given, but
geography scores have remained stagnant since 1994.
Among the findings: Less than half
45 percent of eighth-grade
respondents were able to correctly interpret time differences using an atlas with
time zones. Only about a third knew that
the government of the United States
should be a democracy is a political
belief shared by most people in the U.S.
Michelle Herczog, president of the
National Council for the Social Studies,
said the results point to a need for
immediate action. Tackling issues like
terrorism, human rights, race relations
and poverty require a deep understanding
of the historical and geographic con-

text, she said.


How do we, as a nation, maintain our
status in the world if future generations
of Americans do not understand our
nations history, world geography or
civics principles or practices? Herczog
said.
A breakdown of the test and results:

HOW STUDENTS DID


Only 18 percent of students demonstrated solid performance or better in
U.S. history. The results for geography
and civics were slightly better, 27 percent and 23 percent, respectively.
A large share of the eighth-graders
who took the test scored at the basic
level, meaning just partial mastery of
the subjects. Only 1 percent of test takers in U.S. history, 3 percent in geography and 2 percent in civics scored in the
advanced level.
White and Asian students performed
better than their Hispanic and black
peers. Although the scores overall were
similar to 2010, Hispanic students made
gains in U.S. history and geography
and white students made gains in U.S.
history and civics. The scores of black
and Asian students didnt budge in the
three categories.

OTHER FINDINGS
About two-thirds of the eighth-

graders were able to use a map to


locate a country on the Horn of Africa,
but only a quarter successfully completed a two-part question that
involved explaining how the participation of African-Americans in the
Civil War affected the wars outcome.

WHO TOOK THE TEST


A nationally represented sample of
29, 000 eighth-graders from public
and private schools took a test in one
of the three subjects.
It is administered by the Education
Departments National Center for
Education Statistics.

HOW STUDENTS LEARN


History class is going digital.
Compared to four years earlier,
more students in 2014 reported using
computers at school in their U.S. history and social studies classes. Fewer
said they read material from a textbook and more listened to information presented online or watched
movies or videos. More of them said
they use letters, diaries or essays written by historical people in their studies.
The assessment is not designed to
provide the context needed to explain
student performance or what works in
classrooms.

Two suspects detained after
shots fired at police officers
Two suspects were detained in Menlo Park
Wednesday evening after shots were fired at
officers during a pursuit, according to police.
The incident began in Fremont at 5:28 p.m.
when police officers from Newark and
Fremont chased a suspect vehicle over the
Dumbarton Bridge after a home invasion,
according to Menlo Park police spokeswoman Nicole Acker.
Shots were fired at the Newark and Fremont
officers in the 1300 block of Willow Road
near a Menlo Park business complex, according to Acker, but the officers were uninjured
and did not return fire.
Three suspects fled on foot into the business park, and two of them were apprehended.
Officers from multiple departments have set
up a perimeter while they search for the third
suspect, who remains at large according to
Acker.
The suspect is described as a black man
with a skinny build wearing dark colored
pants and a light colored sweatshirt. He was
last seen headed east on Hamilton Court,
Acker said.
Two firearms were recovered in Menlo Park.
One was found near the suspect vehicle in the
vicinity of 1374 Willow Road. Another was
found nearby along route taken by the fleeing

Appeals court rules for
California in energy crisis claim
SAN FRANCISCO A federal appeals
court on Wednesday sided with California
in its attempt to win hundreds of millions
of dollars in refunds from energy sellers
accused of overcharging utilities during
the states energy crisis more than a decade
ago.
The
Federal
Energy

claim by California officials, a panel of

Redwood City residents, already exceeding
their requirement and others, such as those
residing on lush Atherton properties, needing to implement serious concessions to
make the cut.
The public has until 10 a.m. Monday to
comment on the restrictions as the water
board will vote on the proposal at its May
5-6 meeting before the states first conservation mandates go into effect June 1.
If approved, consumers will have nine
months to achieve cutbacks based on 2013
usage as Californians strive to combat a
four-year drought with no end in sight.
We understand this is a big deal and a
challenge for everyone, but the drought that

rise to the occasion, water board Chair
Felicia Marcus said during a press conference. Are we in our own millennial
drought? We might be, we might not be; but
theres no way to know. We need to take
action now in case it does last longer.
The boards proposal Tuesday is similar to
what it released April 18 and officials are
seeking feedback as to whether it should further expand the current nine tiers that suppliers fall into based on daily residential per
capita use during summer 2014.
If theres sufficient support, the board
may implement conservation tiers that
increase by 2 percent increments, instead of
the current 4 percent.
Since the initial proposal released April

Bonham said the amount of land targeted
for environmental improvements was
revised because there was too much complexity in the original 50-year plan, given
the need to get permits from federal wildlife
agencies against a backdrop of uncertain
future climate change impacts.
The original environmental improvements were projected to cost $8 billion, and
officials said the new plans to be announced
Thursday will cost about $300 million.

Bonham said. Weve known that for a long

Nicole Sandkulla, CEO of the Bay Area
Water Supply and Conservation Agency,
said the board has done a very good job
tackling a very difficult issue on a very
short timeline.
We commend their handling of this and
the fact that they have been listening to the
communities and making modifications to
make this work, Sandkulla said.
New suggestions include prohibiting
using drinking water to irrigate outside
newly constructed homes and buildings as
well as ornamental turf on public street
medians. These are on top of the current provisions making it illegal to irrigate outdoors during and within 48 hours of rainfall,
washing sidewalks and driveways with
potable water, using a hose without a shutoff nozzle to wash cars and running decorative fountains without recirculation devices.
Businesses are also asked to play a role as
restaurants must only serve water upon
request and hotels should give guests the
option to forgo towels being laundered

look at conservation; and in our service
area, that means were going to need to do a
little more. And outdoor water use is our
single largest discretionary use of water in
this service area. So it seems to be the area
for the greatest opportunity, Sandkulla
said.

How to enforce

With disappointing news that statewide


conservation has topped off at just 9 percent
since July 2014, Marcus said everyone
needs to kick their efforts into gear in time
for summer.
We need to act with urgency because the
high water [usage] summer months are
approaching quickly and the greatest opportunity to save water is on landscape,
Marcus said.
Sandkulla agreed, adding the states
actions represent the dire circumstances of
the drought.
What these regulations show, is that the
state is very concerned and taking a hard

Despite Browns suggestion Tuesday the


Legislature craft rules to increase the current
$500 fines for water waste to up to $10,000
for individuals and businesses, cities and
suppliers have continued to lean toward education as their most effective tool for compliance.
Thus far, no San Mateo County supplier
has reported resorting to issuing fines but,
many have begun to see individuals take the
initiative to report neighbors or businesses
wasting water.
The water board appears more apt to issue
fines to suppliers who fail to adhere to conservation and reporting requirements, but
added it would work with those not meeting
targets by encouraging changes to rates,
irrigation restrictions, leak detection and
repair, public outreach, rebates and more.
Sandkulla said San Mateo County
providers offer robust rebate programs and
people have generally conformed to
requests when educated on conservation
methods. While still reviewing the boards
proposal and Browns suggestion to
increase fines, Sandkulla said state officials
are certainly taking a bold stance.
Clearly the fact is the governor has continued to make very strong statements and
take strong positions on water use and conservation, Sandkulla said. Some of the
concepts hes proposing are significant and
I do think that highlights the impact [the
drought] is having on the state.

The plan immediately prompted criticism


from environmental and conservation
groups.
Under development for eight years, the
Bay Delta Conservation Plan calls for building two underground tunnels, 40 feet across
and 30 miles long, to send water from the
Sacramento River around the Delta. The
water currently irrigates 3 million acres of
farmland in the Central Valley and serves 25
million people as far south as San Diego.
The projected cost of the tunnels is $15 million.
The plan, supported by Gov. Jerry Brown,
is designed to stabilize water supplies for
cities and farms south of the Delta. But it
has drawn strong opposition from Delta
farmers and environmentalists, who contend that the tunnels will allow salt water
from San Francisco Bay to degrade the
Deltas water quality and damage habitat for
endangered salmon and tiny delta smelt.
State officials decided to split their plans
for the Delta into two parts the construction of the tunnels and efforts to restore
wildlife habitat along waterways.
Separating them doesnt change the science, said Barbara Barrigan-Parrilla, executive director of Restore the Delta and a critic
of the plan. The tunnels are going to leave
us with a permanent drought in the Delta.
The new approach doesnt come with 50year permits, which was a goal of the previous plan because that would shield Central
and Southern California water agencies from
future cutbacks of Delta water for endangered

species protection. Bonham said the state


couldnt achieve the longer approvals and
now is seeking permits of 10 years or less.
A spokeswoman for Westlands Water
District, a large provider of water to Central
Valley farmers, declined comment until the
official announcement. A representative of
Metropolitan Water District, which supplies water to 19 million residents in
Southern California, could not be immediately reached for comment.
Bonham defended the scaled back habitat
restoration, saying it is more realistic to
achieve in the remaining four years of
Browns term. He said it is unclear who will
be leading the effort decades from now and
what impact climate change will have on
Californias water picture or environmental
regulations.
The state is entering its fourth year of
drought with mandatory water restrictions
for residents, and many farmers are receiving little or no surface water for irrigation
from government water projects.
As part of the overhauled Delta plan, officials named Solano Countys water official
David Okita to oversee the habitat restoration and to help streamline the permitting
process for projects to be launched in the
next four years.
Bill Jennings, executive director of
California
Sportfishing
Protection
Alliance, said that any water transported
around the Delta will only exacerbate poor
water quality. Habitat isnt simply
acreage, he said.

Summertime, will the living be easy?

Poll: Nuanced views on gay


rights and religious liberty
By Emily Swanson and Steve Peoples
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Most Americans think


the government should protect religious
liberties over gay rights when the two come
into conflict, a new Associated Press-GfK
poll finds, though fewer think most businesses should be allowed to turn away gay
couples because of religious beliefs.
The survey uncovered nuanced views on
gay rights as the Supreme Court considers,
in a case heard this week, whether the
Constitution gives same-sex couples the
right to marry.
Americans are more likely to say that religious liberties are more important for the
government to protect than the rights of
gays and lesbians, by a 56 percent to 40
percent margin, the poll found. Just a quarter
of Americans call gay rights a very or
extremely important issue to them personally, while half call religious liberties a
very or extremely important issue.
But fewer Americans just 40 percent
think most business owners should be
allowed to refuse service to gays and lesbians on religious grounds. That finding
goes to the heart of the significant political
fallout over Indianas Religious Freedom
Restoration Act, which critics charged was
intended to allow businesses discriminate
against gays and lesbians.
With public opinion apparently split, its
an open question how gay rights will play
in the 2016 campaign.
Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, president of the
National Hispanic Leadership Conference,
said Republicans would be wise to make religious freedom a central issue because the

broad debate highlights intolerance against


Christians. Religious freedom will emerge
as a centerpiece, and Democrats will have an
impossible time defending against it, said
Rodriguez, whose organization aligns with
conservative Republicans on this issue.
Others think the issue could be perilous
for the GOP. Religious liberty works well
with religious people, which is the GOPs
base, but the argument is easily turned on its
head when the issue is discrimination
against gay people, said veteran
Republican strategist John Feehery. I
think the GOP is better off talking about
economic security and national security,
while leaving this particular issue to the
courts to decide.
Although only a minority of poll respondents thought businesses generally should
be able to discriminate against gays or lesbians, support was stronger for letting wedding-related businesses in particular refuse
service to same-sex couples 52 percent
said so. That was down slightly since the
beginning of February, when 57 percent
said so in an earlier AP-GfK poll.
The new poll found a distinct split
between Republicans and Democrats on the
issue. Most Democrats opposed any such
discrimination by businesses; most
Republicans thought businesses should
have the right to refuse service, whether
generally or for wedding matters.
On marriage, just under half of Americans
want it to be legal for gay and lesbian couples to wed in their states, while just over a
third are opposed, according to the poll.
There is a significant partisan divide over
that issue, too, but it could be a moot point
in the 2016 campaign if the Supreme Court
affirms same-sex marriage.

Supreme Court justices debate


challenge to execution drug
By Mark Sherman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Supreme Court justices


engaged in an impassioned debate
Wednesday about capital punishment, trading unusually combative words in a case
involving a drug used in several botched
executions.
The justices are considering the plea of
death row inmates in Oklahoma to outlaw
the sedative midazolam. The inmates say it
is ineffective in preventing searing pain
from other drugs used in lethal injections.
But Wednesdays session, lasting just
over an hour, featured broader complaints
from conservative justices that death penalty opponents are waging what Justice
Samuel Alito called a guerrilla war against
executions by working to limit the supply
of more effective drugs.
On the other side, among the courts liberals, Justice Elena Kagan contended that the

way states carry out most executions


amounts to having prisoners burned alive
from the inside.
The debate came on the courts last argument day until fall, and a year to the day after
a problematic execution in Oklahoma gave
rise to a lawsuit from death row inmates over
the use of midazolam.
The outcome of the case could turn on a
rather narrow question involving the discretion of the federal trial judge who initially
heard the lawsuit. He ruled against the
inmates, and a unanimous three-judge panel
of the federal appeals court in Denver
affirmed that ruling.
But justices on both sides gave voice to
larger concerns.
There are other ways to kill people,
regrettably, that are painless, Justice Sonia
Sotomayor said.
Justice Stephen Breyer said its not the
inmates fault if the state cant find drugs
that work painlessly.

action Pac Man game.


The company says there are waves of the
bottle-message campaign included more
than 140 different messages with new
ones out every few months intended to
encourage brand engagement. They said
this particular one missed the mark, and
the company regrets it.
We would never condone disrespectful
or irresponsible behavior, Alexander
Lambrecht, vice president, Bud Light said
in a statement. As a result, we have
immediately ceased production of this
message on all bottles.
Marketers can sometimes lose perspective when they walk the line between
being edgy to get attention and being
offensive, said marketing expert Allen
Adamson, managing director of branding
firm Landor Associates.
All marketers want to get peoples
attention, not alienate them, Adamson
said. The challenge is to understand who
youre talking to, but not lose sight of the
bigger picture and be potentially polarizing and offensive.

Bombers teacher: He always


wanted to do the right thing
By Denise Lavoie
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON As a child, Boston Marathon


bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was quiet, hardworking and always wanted to do the right
thing, his third-grade teacher testified
Wednesday to jurors who will decide whether
he spends the rest of his life in prison or is
sentenced to death.
Catheryn Charner-Laird testified on the
third day of the defense case in the penalty
phase of Tsarnaevs trial as his lawyers
shifted the focus away from his older brother, Tamerlan. The defense has portrayed
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who died days after the
bombing, as the mastermind of the attack.
Three people were killed and more than
260 were wounded when twin pressure-cooker bombs exploded near the finish line of
the marathon on April 15, 2013.
Tsarnaev, 21, was convicted of all 30
charges against him, including 17 that carry
the possibility of the death penalty. The
same jury must now decide his punishment.
The defense team has focused heavily on
Tamerlan, arguing he was a domineering
influence on Dzhokhar and led him down the
path to terrorism. Prosecutors have said the
brothers were partners in the bombing,
which was designed to retaliate against the
U.S. for its actions in Muslim lands.
On Wednesday, Tsarnaevs lawyers called
witnesses to testify about what he was like
as a child, years before he became the
Boston Marathon bomber.
He was just learning English at that
time, Charner-Laird said, referring to
Tsarnaevs recent move to the U.S. from
Russia with his family.
Tsarnaev was 9 in the fall of 2002 when he
was one of her students in a combination
class for third- and fourth-graders at the
Cambridgeport School.

He was incredibly
hardworking, she said.
He cared a lot about his
studies; he tried very
hard.
Many times, he didnt
know what to do because
of the language barrier,
she said. But he always
wanted to do the right
Dzhokhar
thing, she said.
Tsarnaev
Prosecutor
Aloke
Chakravarty cross-examined her briefly,
asking if she knew Dzhokhar to be disciplined and smart. She said he was. The question appeared designed to rebut the defense
claim that Dzhokhar was under Tamerlans
influence when he participated in the bombings.
Charner-Laird was one of several teachers
who described him in glowing terms.
Rebecca Norris, one of Tsarnaevs teachers in seventh- and eighth-grade, called him
really bright, well-behaved, pretty
much an A student.
He wasnt a rebel. Basically, if you asked
him to do something, he would do it, she
said.
Norris said Tsarnaev was one of the
schools best students and soccer players.
I thought we would get him into a really
good college with a full ride, and he would
be very successful, she said.
The defense also showed the jury two photographs of a cherubic-looking Tsarnaev
from about the same time. In one photo, he
is sitting on a bench next to Tamerlan, who
is about 16. Tamerlan has his arm around
him, while Dzhokhar rests his arm on his
older brothers leg.
In the other, Dzhokhar is smiling with his
mother, two sisters and the landlady who
owned the Cambridge apartment building
where they lived.

Truth About Deceptive

Cremation Practices
By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE

(This was first


published in 2010,
but its currently
needed again with
updated details)
Attacks from a
number of out of
state cremation corporations have been
waged upon our local and well respected
mortuaries. By now many of you reading
this article have been targeted by the flood
of junk advertising being spread across the
Peninsula & Bay Area by these cremation
outfits that use deceptive language to spread
their misleading message. Its no secret that
societies such as the Trident-Neptune
Corporation are using scare tactics to sway
consumers when they are most vulnerable.
Their mailings, which are many times
disguised as friendly notes, use falsehoods
to imply that their business practice just
makes sense or is much less expensive
luring in unsuspecting consumers. Their
shrewdly worded letters which use
implications such as fancy and expensive
funeral home, falling victim to pressure to
overspend, spending your familys
inheritance or up-selling are crafted to
imply some sort of dishonesty. Also, an
alluring enticement to WIN is flaunted
with tempting instructions to include your
phone number & key personal data.
The truth is that these societies are no
more than wealthy competitors to your
locally owned mortuary, and their costs are
not only comparable, but many times
MORE expensive than what your local
mortuary offers. Ive had families come to
me at the Chapel of the Highlands with
stories of being seduced by certain

cremation societies with talk of lower


costs and other persuasive language. Tales
of unimpressive staff and meetings in
bunker-like facilities are common. After
comparing local mortuaries & cremation
costs it was discovered that a mortuarys
total balance can be similar or even LOWER
than these societies.
Families have
realized that it would have been much more
comforting if they had called the Chapel of
the Highlands first. Our Chapel is well
experienced and has been highly regarded
for assisting families with low cost
cremations decades before cremation-only
corporations ever existed. We are also a full
service facility offering our Chapel for
Memorial Services if desired.
My advice if you ever wish to
investigate cremation:
Do your homework and call your locally
owned mortuary first to compare costs
along with reports on good reputation;
Dont let cremation societies message
of being much less expensive or offers
to WIN fool you;
Dont turn over your phone # or personal
info to un-requested cremation solicitors;
If you must use a cremation society
find out where they are headquartered
and about any prior or active lawsuits.
Thank you for reading my rebuttal. It
bothers me that these societies are openly
using misleading language and making
blanket implications about mortuaries.
Their tactics are unwarranted and my only
desire is for the truth to be known.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funerals or make pre-planning arrangements
please feel free to call me and my staff at the
CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS in
Millbrae at (650) 588-5116. We will guide

Anxiety, anger hang


over Baltimore as it
seeks some normalcy
By Amanda Lee Myers
and David Dishneau
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BALTIMORE Cars rolled through the


streets, students returned to class and a symphony played on a sidewalk Wednesday,
offering the city a slice of normalcy as it
recovers from the rioting and looting earlier this week.
Still, anger and anxiety hung over
Baltimore.
Hundreds of protesters, many of them students wearing backpacks, marched through
downtown, calling for swift justice in the
case of Freddie Gray, a black man who suffered critical injuries while in police custody.
Authorities carefully monitored the rally
after teenagers started the violence Monday
afternoon, throwing bricks and bottles at
officers who had gathered near a major bus
transfer point. The situation escalated from
there, overwhelming police as protesters
set fire to cars and buildings and raided
stores.
Schools closed Tuesday because of the
mayhem, but reopened Wednesday, after the
citys first night of a curfew went off without
the widespread violence many had feared.
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake talked
to fourth- and eighth-graders at New Song
Center in West Baltimore, not far from
where Gray was arrested. She said she was
impressed by the childrens perspective.
They understand very clearly the difference between demonstrators that have a
righteous purpose and those who are prey-

ing on this opportunity for their own benefit, she said.


About 3, 000 police and National
Guardsmen descended on the city to help
keep order, and life wasnt likely to get completely back to normal anytime soon: The
curfew was set to go back into effect at 10
p.m.
And in what was one of the weirdest spectacles in major-league history, Wednesday
afternoons Baltimore Orioles game at
Camden Yards was closed to the public for
safety reasons. Press box seats were full, but
the grandstands were empty.
Earlier in the day, protesters outside the
office of Baltimores top prosecutor said
they supported States Attorney Marilyn
Mosby, who took office in January and
pledged during her campaign to address
aggressive police practices.
Mosbys office is expected on Friday to
get investigative findings from police on
Grays death. She will then face a decision
on whether and how to pursue charges
against the six police officers who arrested
Gray.
The curfew got off to a not-so-promising
start Thursday night when about 200 protesters ignored warnings from police and
pleas from pastors and other community
activists to disperse. Some threw water bottles or lay down on the ground.
A line of officers behind riot shields
hurled tear gas canisters and fired pepper
balls at the crowd, which dispersed in a matter of minutes.
Police said 35 people were arrested after
the curfew went into effect.

Police officers describe hellish


scene after theater shootings

CENTENNIAL, Colo. Officers who


rushed to the scene of the Colorado theater
shooting entered a hellish world of bloody
victims, noxious smells and blaring sounds
a gloomy darkness pierced by bright
flashes from a fire alarm, police testified
Wednesday.
It was dim, the movie was still playing,
the alarm was going off, Aurora police
officer Annette Brook told jurors in the trial
of gunman James Holmes. I began to
notice the bodies, the live victims, the
blood.
Prosecutors called Brook and two other
officers as witnesses on Wednesday, and
their descriptions of the chaos of inside the
suburban Denver theater intensified the
already disturbing scene described a day ear-

lier by moviegoers who


were badly wounded or
saw loved ones gunned
down in the July 20,
2012, attack.
Twelve people died and
70 were hurt. Holmes is
charged with multiple
counts of murder and
James Holmes attempted murder.
He admits he was the
shooter, his defense attorneys say, but
schizophrenia had taken control of his
mind and compelled him to kill. They are
asking the jury to find him not guilty by
reason of insanity, which would send him
to the state mental hospital indefinitely.
Prosecutors argue Holmes was sane and
fully aware that what he was doing was
wrong. They want the jury to convict him
and sentence him to die.

Aid begins in Nepals remote quake-hit villages

quake, while others were fearful of

KATHMANDU, Nepal The


first supplies of food aid began
reaching remote, earthquake-shattered mountain villages in Nepal
on Wednesday, while thousands
clamored to board buses out of
Kathmandu, either to check on
rural relatives or for fear of spending yet another night in the damaged capital.
Frustration over the slow delivery of humanitarian aid boiled
over in a protest in the city, with
about 200 people facing off with
police and blocking traffic.
The protest was comparatively
small and no demonstrators were
detained. But it reflected growing
anger over bottlenecks that
delayed much-needed relief four
days after the powerful earthquake
that killed more than 5,000 people, injured twice that many and
left tens of thousands homeless.
Police,
meanwhile,
arrested
dozens of people on suspicion of
looting or causing panic by
spreading rumors of another big
quake.
Helicopters finally brought
food, temporary shelter and other
aid to hamlets north of Kathmandu
in the mountainous Gorkha
District near the epicenter of
Saturdays 7.8-magnitude quake.
Entire clusters of homes there were
reduced to piles of stone and splintered wood. Women greeted the
delivery with repeated cries of We

While the death toll in the village of Gumda was low only
five people were killed and 20
were injured among 1,300 residents most had lost their homes
and desperately needed temporary
shelter, along with the 40-kilogram (90-pound) sacks of rice that
were delivered Wednesday. Adding
to residents misery was the rain
that has fallen periodically since
the quake and hampered helicopter
aid flights.
The U.N. World Food Program
warned that it will take time for
food and other supplies to reach
more remote communities that
have been cut off by landslides.

protest, there were signs that life
was inching back to normal in the

The restaurant chain operators first-quarter profit fell short of

NEW YORK News that the economy skidded to a near halt in the first
three months of the year helped push
the stock market lower on Wednesday.
Battered by harsh weather, plunging
exports and sharp cutbacks in oil and
gas drilling, the overall economy grew
at a barely discernible annual rate of
0.2 percent in the first quarter, the
Commerce Department reported early
in the day. It was the poorest showing
in a year and down from 2.2 percent
growth in the fourth quarter.
Stocks stayed lower after the Federal
Reserve downgraded its assessment of
the economy and appeared no closer to
raising its benchmark interest rate
from close to zero.
The stock market, trading close to
record levels, is struggling to maintain its upward momentum at the start
of the seventh year of a bull-market
run. The S&P 500 index has gained
only 2. 3 percent in the first four
months of the year and is fluctuating
between small gains and losses. Thats
a trend that may continue for a while
yet.
Were in a period of indecisiveness,
where things could stay muddled for a
while, without any really compelling
case to either drive things back up ...

or, on the other hand, to send things


back into a major pullback, said
Katrina Lamb, head of investment
strategy and research at MV Financial,
a wealth management firm.
The Standard & Poors 500 index fell
7. 91 points, or 0. 4 percent, to
2,106.85. The Dow Jones industrial
average dropped 74.61 points, or 0.4
percent, or 18,035.53 points. The
Nasdaq declined 31.78 points, or 0.6
percent, to 5,023.64.
In addition to news from the Fed and
on the economy, investors were also
looking at the latest corporate earnings.
Starwood Hotels and Resorts surged
after the companys board of directors
said it would explore a full range of
strategic and financial options for the
company. Starwood also reported earnings that surpassed analysts expectations. The stock climbed $6.73, or 8.3
percent, to $87.53.
Buffalo Wild Wings slumped
$24.35, or 12.8 percent, to $160.25
after the company reported disappointing first-quarter results. The company
said its net income and revenue grew.
But the price of chicken wings surged
and Buffalo Wild Wings costs were
also boosted by the chains expansion.
Overall, company earnings are coming in better than had been expected.

Economy barely grew in first quarter


By Martin Crutsinger
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The U.S. economy


skidded to a near halt in the first three
months of the year, battered by a triple
whammy of harsh weather, plunging
exports and sharp cutbacks in oil and
gas drilling.
The overall economy grew at a barely discernible annual rate of 0.2 percent in the January-March quarter, the
Commerce Department
reported
Wednesday. That is the poorest showing in a year and down from 2.2 percent growth in the fourth quarter.
The governments first look at economic growth for the first quarter, as
measured by the gross domestic product, came as the Federal Reserve
wrapped up two days of discussions on
interest rate policies. While the economy can brush off the temporary fac-

tors behind the slowdown, it will have


to contend with ongoing challenges
like the strong dollar for some time.
A stalling of U.S. economic growth
at the start of the year rules out any
imminent hiking of interest rates by
the Fed, Chris Williamson, chief
economist at Markit, wrote in a
research report.
Plummeting exports dragged grown
by nearly a full percentage point. The
category that includes investments in
oil and gas exploration plunged 48.7
percent. Consumer spending slowed
sharply as a severe winter kept shoppers home.
The first quarter figure was much
worse than economists had expected.
But analysts are still looking for a
solid rebound for the rest of the year,
similar to what happened in 2014.
The economy contracted in the first
three months of 2014, also due to a

harsh winter. It was then followed by a


strong rebound to growth of 4.6 percent in the spring and a jump of 5 percent in the third quarter.
Dan Greenhaus, chief strategist at
BTIG, believes the first quarter will
prove to be the years low point,
though acknowledges that the momentum so far isnt as strong as last year.
Admittedly, the data does not yet
support the type of snapback seen in
2014 but more growth is better than
less and we expect that to occur this
year, he said in a note to clients.
The economy is being hurt by the
rising value of the dollar, which makes
exports more expensive on overseas
markets and imports more attractive to
U.S. consumers. For the first quarter, a
widening trade deficit subtracted 1.25
percentage points from growth, with
nearly 1 percentage point of the damage coming from a big drop in exports.

Noting slower economy, Fed appears no closer to rate hike


By Martin Crutsinger
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Federal


Reserve downgraded its view of the
U.S. economy Wednesday after a winter in which growth nearly froze. The
Fed offered no sign that a rate increase
might be coming soon.
On a day when the government estimated that the economy barely grew in
the January-March quarter, the Fed
acknowledged that economic barometers have weakened of late, in part
because of temporary factors. It noted
in a statement that growth has slowed,
business investment has softened and
exports have declined.

It also reiterated that before raising


rates, it needs to be reasonably confident that low inflation will move
back up to the Feds 2 percent target.
In its statement, the Fed removed all
calendar references a message that
any move to raise its key rate from a
record low near zero will hinge entirely on what the economic data show.
The only parts of its policy statement the Fed changed Wednesday dealt
with its assessment of economic conditions. It said growth has slowed during the winter. That was a downgrade
from its March statement, which said
growth had moderated somewhat.
But the Fed partly blamed transitory factors for the deceleration and
stressed that it expects the economy to

expand moderately.
David Jones, an economist who has
written several books on the Fed, said
he thinks a rate hike is unlikely until
September. Still, he foresees a pickup
in growth and a rate increase by fall.
I think the Fed believes most of the
slowdown will be temporary, Jones
said. There will be a bounce back in
growth in the second quarter, and that
is why I think the Fed will start raising
rates in September.
Earlier Wednesday, the government
estimated that the economy grew at a
barely discernible annual rate of 0.2
percent in the January-March quarter,
battered by harsh weather, plunging
exports and scaled-back energy
drilling.

Salesforce stock soars on takeover talk centering on Oracle


By Michael Liedtke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Investors are


betting that business software service
company Salesforce.com will be sold,
with Oracle Corp. emerging as the
early favorite to pull off a deal that
could cost about $50 billion.

The speculation, spurred by a


Bloomberg News report, lifted
Salesforces stock by $7.76, or more
than 11 percent, to close Wednesday at
$74.65.
If it were to happen, an Oracle acquisition of Salesforce would likely be
the most expensive ever for a software
maker and reunite two of Silicon

Valleys most colorful characters.


Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff
founded his San Francisco company in
1999 shortly after leaving a post as a
top executive at Oracle.
There he became so close with
Oracle Chairman Larry Ellison that
the two used to go on double dates
together.

Just over half of the companies in


the S&P 500 have now reported their
first-quarter numbers, and analysts are
forecasting that average earnings will
grow by just 0.2 percent, according to
data from S&P Capital IQ. While that
is a sharp slowdown from a 7.8 percent
growth rate in the fourth quarter of last
year, it is much better than the decline
of 3. 1 percent that analysts had
expected at the start of the month.
That slowdown is being driven by a
big drop in earnings at energy companies, caused by a plunge in the price of
oil, as well as a stronger dollar, which
is eating away at the value of overseas
sales for global companies based in
the U.S. Most investors remain confident that many of the factors weighing
on the economy are transitory, and
that growth will accelerate in the second quarter, said Russ Koesterich,
chief investment strategist at
BlackRock. However, if that scenario
doesnt play out, trading could
become more volatile in the second
half of the year. The narrative is that
the economy rebounds in the second
quarter and earnings rebound with it,
said Russ Koesterich, chief investment strategist at BlackRock. If it
wasnt all about the weather or temporary factors ... then that is where you
might get some more volatility this
summer.

Business briefs
Microsoft opens Windows
10 to Apple, Android apps
SAN FRANCISCO Microsoft hopes to get more people
using the next version of its Windows software on all kinds
of devices by giving them access to many of the same apps
theyre already using on Apple or Android phones.
In a major strategy shift, a top executive told an audience
of several thousand software developers Wednesday that
Microsoft will release new tools to help them quickly adapt
the apps theyve built for Apple or Android gadgets, so they
will work on smartphones, PCs and other devices that use
the new Windows 10 operating system coming later this
year.
On the first day of the companys annual software conference, other executives showed off more uses for Microsofts
holographic augmented reality headset, the HoloLens
although its not yet for sale. They also announced the official name for a new web browser, called Edge, that they
promised will be faster and more useful than the Internet
Explorer thats been a Microsoft mainstay for 20 years.
All those initiatives are tied to the impending release of
Windows 10, the centerpiece of Microsofts ambitions to
regain the stature it commanded when Windows-based PCs
dominated the computing world.

Shares of Yelp fall in late


trading on weak 2Q outlook
SAN FRANCISCO Shares of Yelp Inc. dropped 14 percent in extended trading Wednesday after the online business reviews site reported a loss of $1.3 million in its first
quarter and gave a lower-than-expected revenue outlook.
Yelp said the average monthly desktop unique visitors
fell 3 percent to 80 million as more users browsed on smartphones and tablets. Average monthly mobile unique visitors rose 29 percent to 79 million.
On a per-share basis, the San Francisco-based company
lost 2 cents. Analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment
Research forecast breakeven earnings per share, on average. Excluding stock option expense income totaled 10
cents per share.
Yelp shares have dropped slightly more than 6 percent
since the beginning of the year. In the final minutes of trading on Wednesday, shares hit $51.28, a drop of 13 percent
in the last 12 months.

Insurers navigate health overhaul to rising profits


INDIANAPOLIS Several of the nations biggest health
insurers have hiked earnings expectations for 2015 after
blowing past first-quarter forecasts and heading into a much
more stable future than they faced this time last year.
A better understanding of the health care overhauls
impact, lighter Medicare Advantage funding cuts and oldfashioned business growth all helped deliver a confidence
boost to much of the sector.
The federal overhaul launched a major coverage expansion in the fall of 2013, when public insurance exchanges
debuted with the promise of providing millions of new customers who receive help buying coverage through incomebased tax credits.

Woodsides Touhey claims PAL golf championship


By Terry Bernal

History was made at the Peninsula


Athletic League boys golf championships
Wednesday at Green Hills Country Club as a
record four players faced off in a sudden
death playoff.
However, it only took one playoff hole
for Woodside senior Stefan Touhey to claim
the PAL individual title. It took two more
playoff holes to determine the second-place
winner, which Mills junior Alex Tinsay-

Roxas earned for the second


straight
year.
Carlmont junior Finigan
Tilly took third place.
Touhey finished 36
holes of two-day regulation play with a 154,

Daschbach grand slam gives Gators 5-1 win over Burlingame
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

There have been only a handful


of balls hit over the fence for
home runs at Burlingames
Washington Park over the last
decade or so.
Sacred Heart Preps Andrew
Daschbach can add his name to
that very short list.
After his team rallied to tie
Burlingame with a run in the top of
the seventh inning, Daschbach
came to the plate with the bases
loaded. On the first pitch from
Burlingames Jacob Muhawieh,
Daschbach hammered a ball to
deep left field.
At contact, I had a feeling it
might carry out. The wind was
blowing out, Daschbach said. I
wasnt sure, so I ran hard out of the
box.
Also running hard was Panthers
left fielder Kaleb Keelean, who
turned around and sprinted toward
the ivy-covered wall. He pulled up
as the ball sailed over the fence to
the right of 370-foot sign for a
grand slam that put the Gators up
5-1.
A few minutes later, SHPs freshman pitcher Angelo Tonas finished
off his complete game as SHP (7-3
PAL Bay, 15-8 overall) stayed in
first place in the Peninsula
Athletic Leagues Bay Division
race.
It doesnt get any more exciting than that, said SHP manager
Anthony Granato, a 1999 graduate
of Burlingame. Right off
[Daschbachs] bat, I saw the
height. I told my guy at third base
(Will Johnston) to tag up. It
sounded like he hit it off the end of
the bat.

putting is what won this tournament.


Touhey converted seven 1-putts on the
back nine, yet only had one birdie. And it
was an unlikely birdie at that. Touhey teed off
from the par-4 11th hole, but sliced into the
rough only to find his ball at the base of a
tree. The low-hanging branches initially had
Touhey contemplating about laying up with
a short shot merely to get onto the fairway.

CCS to try new


playoff format

veryone remembers how the much


of a fiasco the Central Coast
Section Open Division football
bracket was last season with the incorporation of the consolation bracket.
The good news for 2015 is, the consolation bracket is gone. The better news
is, there is a new format in store for the
upcoming season.
Wednesday, a new
playoff system was
passed unanimously.
Isnt it amazing?
said Steve Sell,
Aragon football
coach and athletic
director, as well as a
key member of several CCS committees.
He is also the
author of the new
system. In the new format, the five A
leagues in CCS the Peninsula Athletic
League-Bay Division, West Catholic
Athletic League, Santa Clara Valley
Athletic League-De Anza Division,
Blossom Valley Athletic League-Mt.
Hamilton Division and Monterey Trail
Athletic League-Gavilan Division
would send four automatic qualifiers to
three Open Divisions, based on enrollment. That leaves four at-large teams to
be chosen to fill out those three brackets.
Only the champions of those tournaments would be considered for the
Northern California regional bowl games
and state championship games.
The remaining eight leagues that comprise CCS, which are B and C league
teams, would be slotted into two other
CCS brackets, based on enrollment.
A little convoluted, I know, but when
you stop to think about it for a bit, its
easy to understand.
More importantly, its something on
which everyone in CCS appears to agree.
Its pretty damn hard to write up a
playoff format without some feeling like
theyre getting screwed, Sell said. At

Spieth advances on first day at Match Play


By Doug Ferguson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Masters champion


Jordan Spieth had to play good golf for an easy
time Wednesday in the Match Play
Championship. Rory McIlroy made only one
birdie and had an even easier time against Jason
Dufner.
Unlike last year, it only meant that they were
off to a good start in a tournament that wont
have any clarity until players start packing their

bags.
Spieth made seven
birdies, including a 7-iron
to 4 feet on the par-3 13th
for some breathing room,
and closed out Mikko
Ilonen on the 16th hole at
TPC Harding Park. McIlroy
made birdie on the opening
Jordan Spieth hole and let Dufner do the
rest, which was not much at
all. The former PGA champion made five

bogeys and lost on the 14th hole.


Match play, you just need to beat the person
thats in front of you, and I did that today,
McIlroy said. Now move on tomorrow.
As usual, plenty of big names lost early.
Defending champion Jason Day struggled off
the tee and lost to Charley Hoffman. Justin
Rose lost to Mark Leishman. Henrik Stenson
and Jimmy Walker lost in extra holes. Matt
Kuchar lost when Ben Martin made a hole-inone on the 17th hole and they matched pars on
the 18th.

Instead of going home, they have some hope.


The format this year is 16 four-man groups in
round-robin play, with the winner of each group
advancing to the round of 16 on the weekend.
Even without single elimination, one aspect of
this World Golf Championship hasnt changed.
There was plenty of agitation.
Nobody wants to lose, Kuchar said. I can
assure you of that.
Kuchar never trailed in his match, and they
were all square going to the long par-3 17th.

Former rugby star finding way with 49ers


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA Jarryd Hayne has


found himself discussing snakes, kangaroos and koalas all things Aussie
in the middle of San Franciscos
locker room right along with the
routes and responsibilities from his
daunting new NFL playbook.
One 49ers teammate asked the former rugby star-turned-running back
about the deadliest animals in
Australia and all other creatures from
Down Under.
He is good-natured about it all.
With Australia being so far away as
well, theres always a bit of misconception of what its like from an animal perspective, Hayne said
Wednesday. A couple of the boys,
with snakes, lizards, spiders, there
have been a whole bunch of questions

what Australias like. I kid around


sometimes, kangaroos, koalas, were
always feeding them.
The Niners are getting a kick out of
his thick accent, too. Not to mention
all the great expressions he brings.
Rubbish shot, Hayne hollered
recently while playing a little pingpong in his new surroundings.
A couple of his teammates, cracking
up, repeated the phrase in good fun.
Hayne is living in a hotel for now,
but plans to soon start looking for an
apartment. He will look to lease his
own car, too, and turn in the rental.
Ive just really been embracing it,
every situation Ive been in, he said.
Most of the time you cant prepare
for it. You have to go with it and do
your best.
The 27-year-old Hayne decided last
year to give up his career in the

Australian National Rugby League to


chase his NFL dream across the world.
He will compete for a job as a running
back and return man on special teams.
Hayne already considers American
coffee to be rubbish and told wide
receiver Jerome Simpson he would
soon bring his own real coffee from
Australia to share.
Hayne has been training with the
49ers for a few weeks now, but is on
the eld with the coaching staff this
week for a voluntary minicamp. On
Tuesday, he woke up at 6:30 a.m. and
nally went to bed at 11:30 p.m. to
dedicate himself to football and the
hours of studying that come with it.
Ill get comfortable one day and
the next day it completely changes.

Dodgers power show sinks Giants


By Joe Resnick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Joc Pederson, Adrian


Gonzalez and Andre Ethier homered off Ryan
Vogelsong in the first inning and Jimmy
Rollins hit another one off him in the third,
powering the Dodgers to a 7-3 victory over
the Giants Wednesday night.
Zack Greinke (4-0) allowed three runs and
seven hits with six strikeouts. The 2009 AL
Cy Young Award winner is 22-1 with a 1.95

teams since signing a six-year, $147 million contract with the Dodgers in December
2012. Greinke is 6-0 with a 2.28 ERA in
eight starts against the Giants.
Vogelsong (0-2) threw 55 pitches over
three innings, giving up six runs and five
hits in his third start this season after
replacing injured Jake Peavy in the rotation. It was the second time in 146 majorleague starts that he surrendered four homers

2 loss to the Colorado


Rockies at Coors Field.
Dodgers manager Don
Mattingly shuffled his
lineup considerably
flip-flopping No. 3 and 4
hitters Gonzalez and
Howie Kendrick, dropping the struggling
Joc Pederson Yasmani Grandal from
fifth to seventh, moving
Pederson from eighth to the leadoff spot for
the first time and shifting the slumping
Rollins to the 2 hole.
Mattingly, trying to compensate for
injuries to injured corner outfielders Yasiel
Puig and Carl Crawford, got more than he
bargained for as the Dodgers erupted for four
runs on Vogelsongs first 16 pitches with
four homers from their first 11 batters.
Pederson drove the right-handers second
pitch of the game to right-center for his fourth
homer, Gonzalez hit his eighth of the season
two outs later, and Ethier hit a first-pitch

homer to right after a walk to Scott Van Slyke.


Rollins, who hit 46 first-inning leadoff
homers in 15 seasons with the Philadelphia
Phillies before joining the Dodgers in a
trade on Dec. 19, led off the third with his
second homer of the season and first since
his tiebreaking three-run shot off San
Diegos Shawn Kelley in the eighth inning
of a 6-3 victory on Opening Day.
The defending World Series champions,
playing the last of 22 consecutive games
against division rivals, cut the Dodgers lead
to 6-3 in the fourth with Brandon Crawfords
two-run homer after a leadoff double by Casey
McGehee. But Greinke got back one of the
runs in the bottom half with a sacrifice fly.
Ethier, a Gold Glove winner in 2011,
made the defensive play of the game in the
second inning with a diving grab in rightcenter that robbed Joe Panik of extra bases.
Pederson, the Dodgers rookie center fielder,
took a terrible route to pinch-hitter Joaquin
Arias fly ball to right-center and had to
make a diving catch at the last instant.

Angels win in Oakland, lose Pujols


By Michael Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Mike Trout doesnt have


many days where he goes without a hit.
When he does, the Angels slugger tends to
bounce back in a hurry.
A day after going hitless with three strikeouts, Trout was back in form doing what he
does best in a stadium that has quickly
become his home away from home.
Trout homered and drove in three runs,
Johnny Giavotella hit a tiebreaking single
in the seventh inning and the Los Angeles
Angels held on to beat the Oakland
Athletics 6-3 on Wednesday night.
Thats why we play 162, Trout said.
You cant hang your head down on one
game. Just turn the page. Dont think about
it.
Trout hit his fifth home run with two outs
in the third then doubled in two with the
bases loaded in the seventh to help the
Angels pull away and end a two-game losing
skid.

Erick Aybar added a


two-run single as Los
Angeles matched its second-highest run in two
weeks despite losing
first baseman Albert
Pujols to a leg injury in
the sixth.
He didnt really feel a
pop.
It was more a little
Mike Trout
bit crampish, Angels
manager Mike Scioscia said. Were definitely going to error on the side of caution.
Right now were optimistic that its not
going to be too long.
Fernando Salas (1-1) retired three batters
for the win while Huston Street pitched the
ninth for his eighth save in eight tries.
Marcus Semien had three hits and scored
twice for Oakland. The As have lost five of
six.
Los Angeles had been held to three runs or
fewer in seven of its previous 10 games
before breaking out against Oakland.
Giavotellas one-out single off As reliev-

er Ryan Cook (0-1) put the Angels up 4-3.


After Kole Calhoun walked to load the
bases, Trout doubled to left to drive in C.J.
Cron and Giavotella.
Thats what (Trout) does, Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. We were in a bind
with the bases loaded and nowhere to put
him. Thats why hes the MVP.
Its the Angels 10th win in the last 14
games against the As.
Aybars two-run single off Oakland starter
Jesse Hahn put the Angels ahead 2-0.
Trout extended the lead with his fifth
home run of the season, a solo shot that
landed halfway up the stands in left field. It
was the 10th homer of Trouts career hit at
the O.co Coliseum the most by any visiting player since the Angels slugger made
his big league debut in 2011.
Stephen Vogts RBI single off Angels
starter Matt Shoemaker cut the lead to 3-1.
Ike Davis doubled in Semien in the sixth
and Josh Reddick followed with a single off
reliever Cesar Ramos that tied the score at 3.

GOLF
Continued from page 11
on this club, I can take a swing, Touhey
said. So, then I picked a club I knew that
could get there and just let it go.
Touhey grabbed for his 8-iron and fired a
laser beam onto the green within 15 feet of
the cup. It turned out to be a telltale swing,
as the junior faced an even bigger dilemma
on the 16th hole, but produced an even more
spectacular solution.
Playing in a threesome along with
Tinsay-Roxas and Tilly, Touhey was the
only one not to clear the high, close tree
line upon teeing off at the 16th hole.
Instead, Touheys tee shot went into the
trees and ricocheted straight down. This
time, he discovered his ball in the heavy
rough wedged near the bases of a pair of Oak
trees.
Then Touhey produced what he called the
shot of his life.
The shot was a low-trajectory grass hugger that weaved through the adjacent 17th
hole, actually landing three feet off the 17th

PGA
Continued from page 11
Martin hit a hybrid into a cool breeze from
about 235 yards that rolled toward the hole and
swirled around the cup before dropping for an
ace.
Id say under the circumstances, thats probably the best shot Ive ever hit, Martin said.
He tried to keep his emotions guarded, knowing there was still a par 5 to play. Kuchar missed
a 5-foot birdie putt that would have extended the
match.
The 32 losers still had two more matches, but

green. The threesome of Wang, Carlmonts


Alex Hom and Burlingames Adam Taylor
was on the green and preparing to putt at the
time, but paused until Touhey played
through.
Touheys third stroke on 17 was a breathtaking shot, a soaring arc over a tree line,
inspiring Touhey to shout: Fly, baby!
That baby did fly, landing smack-dab in the
middle of the fairway. Ultimately, Touhey
bogeyed the hole.
On the 18th hole, however, Touhey finished regulation play with one of his only
2-putts on the back nine. The initial miss
on the green, which made him settle for par,
nearly cost him the title as Tilly had a beat
on a birdie. But Tillys 20-foot putt rimmed
just off the back lip of the cup and out,
essentially forcing a playoff.
After Tuesdays opening round at
Mountain Views Shoreline Golf Links,
Tilly led Tinsay-Roxas by two strokes with
a 74. Touhey trailed by three strokes at the
start of Day Two. Wang, who had the best
individual performance Wednesday with a
76, entered four strokes back of Tilly.
I feel like I should have won this, Tilly
said. I felt like I had the momentum and
lead since coming off that 74 [Tuesday]. I

didnt finish strong on the back nine.


Tinsay-Roxas was able to overtake Tilly
for second place on the third playoff hole. It
was a bittersweet end to the PAL schedule for
the junior Tinsay-Roxas who captured PAL
Outstanding Golfer of the Year honors this
season.
Im obviously not going to complain
about [second place], Tinsay-Roxas said.
Its a little disappointing the way it went
down at the end. But I give [Touhey] credit,
he had a better finish than I did.
The 14th hole was Tinsay-Roxas undoing, as he shot a quadruple-bogey on the
par-4. His fairway approach went long over
the green. Then as he attempted to chip onto
the green, he went long again. His saving
grace was his ability to regroup for the final
four holes of regulation.
I feel like I was able to not let the whole
thing slip away from me and just give
myself a chance to win at the end, TinsayRoxas said. [The 14th] didnt go my way,
but thats golf.
Tinsay-Roxas was the only one of the
threesome to be playing for thoroughfare
into the Central Coast Section playoffs
next Tuesday and Wednesday at Carmels
Rancho Caada West. Carlmont and

Woodside had already qualified for the CCS


playoffs as teams by virtue of finishing
one-two in the PAL regular-season standings; all competitors on qualifying teams
earn automatic individual berths into the
CCS tournament. Carlmont claimed the
team championship with a 207-219 win
over Woodside on the final day of the season.

Thursdays round became even more critical. Its


possible they can be eliminated Thursday. Its
possible their Friday match will be meaningless. And yet all of them can still advance,
although they will need some help.
A lot has to work out now, Kuchar said.
Day never trailed over the final 53 holes when
he won the single-elimination version last year
in Arizona. The Australian fell behind with a
bogey on the fourth hole against Hoffman, and
this time he never caught up. And now, he has
some catching up to do.
Obviously, I need to go out there and win the
next two, Day said. And whatever happens,
happens. If I sneak through, I sneak through. If
not, then its my own fault for losing. Its a dif-

ferent format, and Im looking forward to seeing


how it goes the next couple of days.
Spieth played as though nothing had changed
from a year ago. He told caddie Michael Greller
not to check the painted dots on the greens that
would indicate the pin positions for the
Thursday rounds.
I wanted us to look at it like it was win or go
home, Spieth said. I think I did see him checking on a couple of them. But I wanted that to be
our mindset. Theres going to be a lot of 2-1 scenarios in each group, so its best not to worry
about anything else.
Spieth had few worries on a mild day of sunshine. He took only eight putts through six
holes and building a quick lead. Ilonen holed a

bunker shot on the par-3 ninth, and then rolled


in a 20-foot birdie putt at No. 11 to get to within one shot. Momentum was on his side.
Spieth hit wedge just over a bunker to 4 feet
for birdie, and then his 7-iron had just enough to
finish pin-high next to the hole at the back of
the 13th green.
I played solid, Spieth said. I think I made
six birdies and a bogey? Id take that the rest of
the week.
Rose, coming off a victory Sunday in New
Orleans, still wasnt sure what to think about
the new format.
Maybe Id rather go home, he said. I dont
feel very hopeful right now, but I have a shot.
So I guess thats a good thing.

The top five individual finishers in the


PAL championships sans Carlmont and
Woodsides automatic berths qualified for
the CCS tournament. Along with TinsayRoxas, those who advance are Burlingame
junior Adam Taylor, Aragon junior Carter
Walling, Sequoia sophomore Sena
Yamamoto and Hillsdale senior Evan
Backer.
It marks the third consecutive trip to the
CCS playoffs for each Tinsay-Roxas and
Tilly. However, it is just the second trip for
Touhey who last advanced to the CCS tournament as a sophomore in 2013. Last year,
he missed the cut by one stroke, getting
edged out by a pair of Woodside teammates,
Wang and Nathan Prasad.

unique because at Parra everyone had a nickname, he said with a chuckle. The Aussie
slang is so much different. Here in America I
just get Jarryd.

appeared the story would be the pitching
duel between Muhawieh and Tonas. Until
that fateful seventh inning, Muhawieh was
in line to pick up the win. He held the
Gators scoreless for six innings, giving up
just six hits to that point.
Muhawieh escaped the fourth inning without allowing a run, leaving the bases
loaded.
Tonas might have been even better. He
held Burlingame (6-5, 12-11) to just one run
on five hits. He worked out of a basesloaded jam of his making in the third he
walked the bases loaded on 12 straight balls
but got out of it unscathed. In the fourth,
he snagged a screaming comebacker off the
bat of Alex Waldsmith and, in the fifth, he
chased down a Griffin Intrieri popup along

Daschbach said it would have disappointing if his teammates didnt pick up their

the win.
Added Granato: Angelo did a good job on
the mound. We always talk about playing

As good as Muhawieh pitched against the
rest of the Gators, he struggled with
Daschbach, who singled in the second,
walked in the fourth and doubled in the sixth

slam in the seventh.
He didnt pitch well to the big guy at all

fair. When I saw WCAL guys nodding their heads, saying
this is good, and the guys from Santa Cruz said this is
good, we were on to something.
Sell started formulating his format shortly after the 2013
season a season that saw Terra Nova go 10-0 in the regular season, only to be bounced in the first round of the
Open Division for the third straight year.
At the season-ending coaches meeting that season, a
proposal was made to fill all the CCS brackets based solely on enrollment and do away with the Open Division.
While some coaches may have been on board with that,
the higher ups at CCS were not and the format died, in
favor of what they came up with last season.
Sell said he had his proposal ready to go prior to last
season, but wasnt sure CCS was ready for it. But now, following last seasons fiasco, coaches and CCS appeared
ready for another outside-the-box plan.
If this would have been proposed in 2013, it might not
have passed. Who knows? Sell said. When it became
apparent the strict enrollment plan wasnt going to go, we
had to come up with [a new plan]. At the evaluation
meeting this (past) December, the people were very receptive to something different.
Sell said his biggest challenge in developing a new

While the Gators maintained their spot

In a game against the Bears March 18, the
Gators thought they had posted a 16-14

a misinterpretation of the rules in the fourth
inning with the Bears holding a 10-9 lead.
The protest was upheld and the two teams

the game in the fourth inning.

posals, you read them and ask, Whats the motive behind
it? Sell said. To do it (fairly), you have to step back and

Sell said his format is the best way to make sure CCS

Its like solving a puzzle, Sell said. What would make

Entrepreneurs hatch
chicken-rental idea
for fans of fresh eggs
By Kathy Matheson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MOUNT HOLLY, N. J. The


name of Jenn Tompkins company
sends customers into fits of laughter.
When I answer the phone and I
say, Rent The Chicken, this is
Jenn, they giggle and say, I
would like to rent the chicken.
And then they giggle some more,
Tompkins said.
But poultry leasing has turned
out to be a serious investment as
more people want fresh eggs from
humanely raised hens, without the
responsibilities of ownership. In
two years, Pennsylvania-based
Rent The Chicken has expanded to
three other states, plus Toronto.
The growth is not an aberration.
Coop rentals are booming nationwide as residents in cities, suburbs
and the countryside flock to the
anti-factory, locally sourced food
movement. Some families also
rent fowl as an educational experience for their children.
As a society, we dont really
like commitment, Tompkins said
while visiting an affiliate in
Mount Holly, New Jersey. We
dont want a contract on our cellphones; we dont want long-term
commitment with our cable company. With chickens, they can
live to seven or 10 years, and peo-

ple are a bit scared of that.


Rentals remove that risk. Prices
depend on the company, location
and lease duration but start around
$150 month. Most basic packages include two hens, a coop,
feed and phone availability to
answer questions. Birds can be
returned early if things dont work
out and are available for adoption if things go well.
Rent a Coop, based in the
Washington suburb of Potomac,
Maryland, started out renting five
or six coops per month in 2012,
according to co-owner Tyler
Phillips. Now theyre renting 25
to 30 monthly and are opening a
second location in New Jersey.
I think it will be sustained,
Phillips said of the business
model. People want to know
where their food comes from.
Further evidence comes from the
growth
of
BackyardChickens. com,
an
online forum that started eight
years ago with 50 members and
now has more than 325, 000,
according to administrator Rob
Ludlow. The site gets about 7,000
daily posts from chicken enthusiasts, Ludlow said.
Jenn and Phillip Tompkins
incubated their company in 2013
at their homestead on the outskirts
of Pittsburgh. Jenn Tompkins
home-based job as a university
research assistant was ending, and

Two chickens collectively produce about a dozen eggs each week.


she began looking for another
way to work from her house.
They had recently moved to
western Pennsylvania from a rowhouse near Baltimore in search of
a simpler lifestyle, with a garden
and small flock of chickens.
Its a slippery slope,
Tompkins said with a laugh. We
had the garden, we got some
chickens; we had a bigger garden,
got some more chickens. And now
we have a chicken rental business.
The rental coops have wire bottoms and wheels so customers can
move them to different spots in
their yards, giving the hens fresh

grass and bugs to eat in addition to


their feed. Two chickens collectively produce about a dozen eggs
each week.
Companies suggest would-be
renters speak to neighbors first
and do some research to ensure
they dont run afoul of local ordinances or homeowners associations. But regulations can be nebulous, especially when the birds
are temporary, and are usually
enforced only after complaints.
Unlike crowing roosters, hens
are generally quiet, clucking softly and briefly after laying an egg,
Phillips said. He has picked up
coops from urban sections of

Washington where residents didnt


realize their neighbors had chickens until they saw the birds leaving.
Leslie Thyberg has rented from
the Tompkinses for about a year in
the East Liberty neighborhood of
Pittsburgh, where the concepts
popularity has led city officials to
try to streamline permits for backyard livestock.
The healthful, tasty eggs and
quiet good nature of the birds has
won over skeptics like her husband, Thyberg said. She enjoys
relaxing with a cup of tea or glass
of wine while watching the hens
hunt and peck in the backyard.

For 100 years, celebrities have helped urge animal kindness


By Sue Manning
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES These days,


people pay piles of cash to pamper
their pets, but problems remain on
the farm and in the slaughterhouse,
on movie sets and at animal shelters even in the wild.
Thats why the American Humane
Association is touting its past to
move animal welfare forward. Its

celebrating 100 years of Be Kind to


Animals Week, which draws celebrities, politicians and everyday
enthusiasts each May to raise awareness about the plight of animals.
Day spas and designer duds for
dogs are the norm now, but inhumane treatment springs up in
places from puppy mills to jungles,
where animals are killed for their
tusks or pelts. In ways, theres
more work to do than when kind-

ness week started in 1915.


Celebrities have asked people to
combat different problems throughout the years, and history shows
notables from Eleanor Roosevelt to
Shirley Temple and John Wayne
have a soft spot for helping animals. No star is taking the lead this
year, but the week will be expanded,
lasting through 2015. Association
leaders will make television
appearances, hold open houses and

provide materials to teach children


compassion.
An interactive retrospective
about the weeks history will
appear online, and the group will
tour schools with its traveling
museum and a fleet of famed Red
Star Rescue trucks used to save animals during disasters.
It warms my heart because here
we are, just as relevant today as we
were 100 years ago, said associa-

tion President and CEO Robin


Ganzert.
The group urges Americans to
take a pledge on Kindness100.org
to help animals by purchasing
humanely raised eggs, meat and
dairy; getting a pet from a shelter to
cut down on euthanasia; watching
movies featuring the No Animals
Were Harmed end credit; and visiting zoos and aquariums to learn
about wildlife conservation.

RULES
Continued from page 1
The proposed amendments to the citys
Zoning and Tree ordinances has aroused
some controversy among those who fear
Belmonts character could change, but is
proceeding with support from the council
as well as the Planning and Parks and
Recreation commissions.
After discussing the amendments at its
Tuesday meeting, the council scheduled a
public hearing and possible vote May 12.
The proposal, created by city staff and a
council subcommittee comprised of Vice
Mayor Eric Reed and Councilman Charles
Stone, has changed after significant input
from the community and city officials provided over the course of eight meetings
throughout the last year.
We believe that the proposed amendments would better meet the needs of
Belmont, said Senior Planner Damon
DiDonato, according to a video of the meeting. They would conform with the General
Plan policies and goals, and that there
would not be any significant environmental impacts resulting from the project.

What the council is moving toward


Officials initiated the amendments as
they seek to ease the citys planning
process to make room for growing families
who may not have the luxury of relocating
in an increasingly expensive housing market.
The council showed unanimous support
for creating a tiered system to review single-family home projects that would
include smaller additions being considered

by staff and larger additions as well as new


homes heading to a Planning Commission
hearing currently the seven-member
commission reviews projects as small as a
400-square-foot addition.
Councilmembers also agreed to increase
the current cap on home sizes, which is
3,500 or 4,500 square feet depending on
location, by allowing up to 6,000-squarefoot residences on certain properties. The
max, which is one of the lowest in the
county and was modeled after San Mateo,
would ultimately be determined by a propertys size and slope.
City staff stressed that secondary units,
which have been a controversial topic
among residents, are regulated by state law
and cannot be considered as an increase in
density.
Belmont currently allows two-bedroom
in-law units to stand up to 1,200 square feet
or 30 percent of the main property. Few
property owners have constructed them
over the last eight years and staff doesnt
anticipate a flurry of applications should
the rules pass, DiDonato said.
Although the subcommittee originally
suggested increasing the maximum to 50
percent of a home size, the proposal was
amended and the council concurred to
increase it to 40 percent.
Permitting them on smaller properties
was encouraged by reducing the requirement
for a conditional use permits to lots smaller than 5,000 square feet, instead of the
laws current 8,000 square feet.

Where to park?
Parking requirements are a main focus of
the citys efforts as modest additions under
the current rules frequently compel the construction of a two-car garage an amenity
lacking among many of the older homes.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

The two-car requirement means a lot of


the housing stock goes unimproved. Im
convinced of that, because the two-car
garage is too onerous, Reed said.
In general, the amendments would allow
property owners more flexibility in how
they provide parking by allowing some
carports to count as covered spaces, instead
of garages and permitting tandem instead of
side-by-side parking, DiDonato said.
Officials supported reducing the requirements for remodels while basing it on the
number of bedrooms being added.
The council did agree, however, to keep
the requirement that newly constructed
homes furnish four parking spots, two of
which must be covered.

Evolving new rules


and considering impacts
DiDonato said staff reviewed extensive
data before proposing the changes to parking, home size, second units and other
amendments.
Information from the Association of Bay
Area Governments, Belmonts Planning
Division and U.S. Census data was considered before staff ultimately concluded there
would be no significant environmental
impacts if the amendments are approved,
DiDonato said.
National data show that over the last 30
years, home sizes have grown but family
size has actually decreased while regional
data outline families now own fewer cars
than prior years.
Theres no evidence that larger homes
are going to generate more traffic, more
noise, more greenhouse gasses than smaller homes, DiDonato said.
City officials acknowledged the public
has concerns, but emphasized any changes

Public reaction
A range of opinions have sprouted in
response to the proposed amendments with
some predicting oversized McMansions
would pop up on small lots and others
speaking about their struggle to accommodate growing families.
Only a small constituency spoke on
Tuesday; nearly all were in favor of the
changes and some stressed the rules potential to help address a lack of affordable
housing in the county.
On top of providing comment online, the
community will have another chance to
engage in the process by speaking publicly
about the proposed changes at the meeting
next month.
Frankly, I think its a great departure
from what was often happening in the
2000s time frame we didnt have the benefit of having meetings on video, things
like blogs, Nextdoor.com, Patch, to allow
people to have a lot of warning and opportunities to become aware of whats happening in our local government, said resident
Tim Hoffman. Whats happening now is
much more open than the process that was
happening even 10 years ago

Crabapples come in many varieties


By Lee Reich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Crabapple branches drenched in


white, pink or red blossoms are a
strong enticement to go out and buy
one of these trees. First, however,
put a little thought into which variety you plant.
There are about 900 varieties on the
market, and planting a crabapple is a
decision that lasts for decades.
To begin with, think beyond just
the blossoms. For all their beauty,
they are with us only a week or two
each year. Crabapple fruit can be
almost as decorative as the blossoms. And you also might consider
the trees form, eventual size, and
leaf color both in summer and fall.
But hold on: Before you are swayed
by any of these shows of beauty,
make disease resistance yes, disease resistance your first consideration in choosing a variety to plant.
Crabapples, like eating apples, are
generally susceptible to fire blight,
powdery mildew, cedar apple rust and
scab diseases. A tree with splotched,
curled or dead leaves is not a pretty
sight. And if severe, a disease can
actually kill your plant.
Fortunately, a number of beautiful
crabapple varieties are resistant to
one or more of these diseases.
Unfortunately, a number of diseasesusceptible varieties are too readily
available. Steer clear of disease-susceptible varieties such as Almey,

Eleyi, Red Silver and Hopa. Disease,


poor form and short-lived flowers are
all reasons to kick the Hopa habit,
as my old horticulture professor used
to say.

CONSIDER THE FRUIT


With the field narrowed to diseaseresistant varieties, focus next on the
fruit. Fruit of some varieties offer
months of pleasure, as the golden or
scarlet orbs dangle from the stems
from autumn well into or even
through the winter. The variety
Calocarpa, with the unwieldy botanical name Malus x Zumi var.
Calocarpa, clings to its glistening,
half-inch-in-diameter fruit from late
summer through December. Indian
Summer is another variety notable
for showy fruit, and, in this case,
rosy red flowers and good fall color
also.
You might also enjoy the sight of
birds in late fall and into winter, flitting around the branches as they
enjoy the fruit of some varieties.
Birds particularly relish the small,
red fruit of Sargent crabapple, a relatively small tree that is also pestresistant.
Although the crab in crabapple
means sour, a number of varieties
bear fruit good enough to eat, and
surely good enough to make into
jelly, especially if they are large
enough to justify the effort. The variety Dolgo is widely available, and if
you grow it youll have to decide

whether to enjoy the sight of the fluorescent red fruit dangling from the
branches or the taste of them in the
jelly jar. Other good cooking varieties include Cranberry, Hyslop,
Transcendent and Redflesh, the last
with fruit that is red right to the core.

MANY QUALITIES,
INCLUDING FRESH FLAVOR
In fact, a crabapple fruit does not
even have to taste sour; the only
thing that makes a crabapple a
crabapple is fruit size. Any apple less
than 2 inches across is by definition
a crabapple. Centennial, Chestnut,
Kerr and Wickson are crabapples that
you will want to chomp into. The
fruit are small for apples but large for
crabapples.
As for form and leaf color, some
crabapple trees are upright and large;
most are rounded and medium-size. If
you want a dainty dwarf tree, plant
Coralburst, which has double pink
flowers followed by small, reddishorange fruit.
How about White Cascade for a
weeping crabapple, this one a waterfall of white blossoms that are followed by pea-size, yellow fruit?
Royalty has the most dramatic leaf
color: glossy purple in spring,
greenish purple in summer, then brilliant purple in fall. The flowers are
few, but are dark crimson, almost purple, and followed by you guessed it
purple fruit.

There are about 900 varieties on the market, and planting a


crabapple is a decision that lasts for decades.

REPORTS
Continued from page 1
first of many public meetings planned
as the 21 Element Nexus Study is
completed for the county and the 14
cities participating in the effort.
I hope they move quickly to finalize the reports so we can implement
some policies to address the housing
crisis, said San Mateo County
Supervisor Dave Pine.
Pine favors a fee for commercial
development.
There has been an explosion in new
jobs and new wealth creation. All the
commercial development in the
pipeline over the next few years is
only going to exacerbate the housing
crisis, Pine said.
It is the expansion of the commercial sector that is driving housing cost
and rent increases, he said.
The nexus study takes into account
the types of housing being constructed, household income, affordability
gap and the link to new jobs created
when housing or offices come online.
Buyers and renters of new marketrate condominiums and apartments create new spending which can be linked
to new jobs, many of which pay low
wages, according to the Housing
Impact Fee Nexus Study for the model
city.
The methodology used finds the
maximum fee a developer should be
charged to offset the impacts of their
projects on the community.
For the model city, Foster City, the
maximum (100 percent) condominium
impact fee per unit is $72,380 and the
maximum apartment fee per unit is
$69,380.
The analysis showed that establishing a fee at 100 percent of the maximum fee would have a negative impact
on development feasibility for both
condominiums
and apartments.
However, the 40 percent and 50 percent scenarios are both financially feasible for condominiums and apartments, according to the report.
These additional costs would not
significantly impact a projects bottom line, according to the report.
Foster City, for instance, already
charges developers a variety of fees for

water, sewer and parks.


The current fees the city charges are
estimated at $30,481 for an apartment
and $34,823 for a condominium.
Once the nexus-based residential
impact fees at various levels are added
to the existing fees, the total fees
increase significantly, according to
the report.
The 100 percent scenario increases
total fees by 300 percent, while the 40
percent scenario approximately doubles total city fees. The total housing
impact fees at the 40 percent level
would be $29,088 in Foster City. If
this is added to the existing fees, the
total fees would be nearly $64,000 or
almost twice the fees currently charged
on a condominium, according to the
report.
The $64,000 fee per unit would still
offer a developer a profit, according to
the report.
Foster City, though, does have a
inclusionary policy in its General Plan
that requires that new developments
include 20 percent affordable housing
units that developers usually fold into
their projects.
The report does not propose to tell a
city what to charge developers to create affordable housing but rather offer a
guideline if city councils pursue implementing the fees, said Curtis Banks,
Foster Citys community development
director.
Its a difficult concept with lots of
formulas, Banks said Wednesday.
Based on the studys findings, it is
recommended that Foster City consider adopting a rental housing
impact fee at 40 percent of the nexusbased maximum, which is $32 per
square foot, or lower, according to
Police searched the train car by car
for about 15 minutes but no one
matched the description, according to
police.
The suspect is described as wearing a
dark hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans,
the race, gender and age of the suspect
are unknown, however.

the model city report.


On the commercial side, the maximum justified nexus fees are $151 per
square foot for hotel, $262 per square
foot for retail/restaurants/services and
$227
per
square
foot
for
office/R&D/medical office, according
to the 21 Elements report.
The consultants report proposes
that the model city (Foster City)
adopts new commercial linkage fees at
10 percent of the nexus-based maximum for office/R&D/medical office
($22.75 per square foot) and hotel uses
($15.07 per square foot).
For retail/restaurants/services, it is
recommended that the city adopt a
linkage fee at or below 5 percent
($13.10 per square foot) of the maximum nexus-based fee.
When a city or county adopts a
development impact fee, it must establish a reasonable relationship between
the development project and the fee
being charged. Studies undertaken to
demonstrate this connection are called
nexus studies. Nexus studies for school
impact fees, traffic mitigation fees and
parks are common. Since cities lost
redevelopment agencies, however,
they have turned to nexus reports to
justify charging developers impact
fees after cities lost control over mandating inclusionary housing policies
in the Palmer/Sixth Street Properties,
L.P. v. City of Los Angeles lawsuit.
In 2013, San Mateo County cities
and Palo Alto began discussions about
how to respond in a coordinated manner to the Palmer lawsuit that restricted
rental inclusionary zoning. As a
result, the cities decided to hire a consultant team to produce nexus and feasibility studies for all interested jurisdictions.
Individual reports for the participating cities and county are expected to
start rolling out in June.
Meanwhile, a bill by Assembly
Speaker Toni Atkins, D-San Diego,
passed out of committee Wednesday.
Assembly Bill 1355 proposes to
charge a $75 fee to record real estate
documents that could raise up to $720
million annually. The Building Homes
and Jobs Act creates a permanent funding source for affordable housing.
