Harbor District has big reserve

General manager eyes capital projects in next budget
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The San Mateo County Harbor District

has a reserve of $16 million and General
Manager Steve McGrath has his eye on
paying off debt and engaging in some
major capital improvement projects
with some of that money.
For a government agency with revenue expected to be about $10 million
next year, a $16 million reserve is
unprecedented. Most cities or special

tax districts mandate a reserve of about

30 percent but the Harbor Districts
reserve is more like 160 percent.
The state of the district is sound,
McGrath said.
This fiscal year, which ends in June,
the agency only earmarked about
$700,000 to spend on capital improvement projects but the agency will not
spend it all this year, McGrath said.
Next year, he proposes to spend
about $3. 9 million on capital
improvement projects such as demol-

ishing the Romeo Pier.

Its a very aggressive program of
major projects and capital expense, he
said.
The year after, McGrath proposes
spending $8. 7 million on capital
improvement projects including replacing the H Dock at Pillar Point Harbor at
a cost of $2.5 million.
He proposes to replace three docks at
Oyster Point Marina in fiscal year 2017-

Experts: historic growth may slow, but industry still healthy awarded for innovative vision by peers
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Though many homes across San

Mateo County continue to sell for
gaudy prices, some real estate
experts sense a market historically hard on buyers banks accounts
may be beginning to soften, if
only a bit.
The countys median home sales
price was $1. 2 million in
February, according to a report
from the San Mateo County
Association of Realtors, or SAMCAR, matching the heights
reached the year prior.

But some Realtors are showing

signs of skepticism regarding
whether the thriving market will
continue growing at the same
astronomical rate as the past few
years.
I think there is a settling down
in the demand and the price, said
Chuck Gillooley, of Dwell
Realtors.
In communities across the
Peninsula, more sellers are showing a greater willingness to
accept less money than their initial listing price, said Gillooley,
and imperfect homes are beginning to stay listed for longer

periods of time.
Such trends are a far cry from the
characteristics of a previously
blistering market, in which sellers
commonly expected to immediately receive numerous competing
bids well above the listed property
price.
Gillooley said the subtle shifts
may be indicative of an industry
calming.
At some point, people will
keep pushing prices so hard, the
market will push back, said
Gillooley.

Belmont kiosk a door to history

T

heres no mystery about a small circular building that stands alone on

Alameda de las Pulgas and Arthur
Avenue in Belmont, even though drivers
probably wonder what the heck is that and
look in their rear view mirror as they zip by
the structure with the big wooden door.
Good guesses would be a leftover from an
amusement park, a guard house or a fancy
garden shack. None of the above. The onestory wood-framed structure with the turret
on top at 790 Alameda de las Pulgas is a
reminder of the Roaring 20s when developers hoped to make the Country Club Estates
subdivision a reality. The kiosk thats modeled after a French medieval grain silo
served as the sales and promotion ofce for
the venture that failed during the
Depression.
The building is the only remaining example of an on-site residential subdivision
sales promotion ofce from the 1920s
building boom in Belmont, according to
the Belmont Historical Society.
Denny Lawhern of the society came up
with several documents, including one
showing that in 1924 developers Lee
Monroe, Arthur Lyon and Lawrence Miller
incorporated Belmont Country Club
Properties, a venture dubbed Belle Monti
that took in about 1,000 acres of what is
now northwest Belmont. Country Club
Estates was the rst of 10 subdivisions to be
started between 1924 and the corporations
demise in 1929.

Belmonts kiosk is a remnant of big development plans.

Promotional material, possibly handed
out at the sales ofce during its heyday,
lauded Belle Monti for being between two
of the nest highways in California the
State Highway and the Skyline Boulevard.
Other lures included large home and cabin
sites along with mountain trails and bridle paths to delight the hikers and the saddle
devotees. All this for $300.
If you believe in the expansion of San
Francisco down the Peninsula Buy Now,
said the company literature, which was way
off the mark when it predicted the Peninsula
and San Mateo County would become an
integral part of the City and County of San
Francisco. This consolidation is bound to
come.
The company overinvested in attractions
that included the Belle Monti clubhouse, a

swimming pool and a golf course designed

by William Dunn. The land also held tennis,
handball and croquet courts. The company
failed, meantime, to develop adequate infrastructure such as sewage and roads.
According to the citys Historical
Resources Inventory, the clubhouse became
an ofcers club in World War II and later
served as a research facility for studying
radiation. In 1950, it was part of Kaisers
cancer research system. In 1954, the clubhouse became the Congregational Church of
Belmont and serves in that role today.
The building retains several attractive features, including high ceilings, open beams,
oak oors and a veranda. The bronze
sconces on the walls still hold crossed golf
clubs that symbolized Belle Montis original intent. The pool has been lled in and is
now a parking lot. The nine-hole golf
course became subdivision housing.
The kiosk located on a small triangular
shaped median island was donated to the
city in 1997 by Pantano Properties in memory of a family member. Ten years later, the
site was dedicated as a mini-park with
improved landscaping and dedication
plaques, one informing the curious that the
little building is an historic landmark.
Over time, the Belle Monti area of Belmont
was inlled as a major residential area, the
historic inventory said, adding that Belle
Monti was an important factor leading to
Belmonts incorporation as a city.

Clifford appears in the Daily Journal every other

Apartments destroyed in 2013

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

A four-story, 76-unit apartment

building at 926 Woodside Road in
Redwood City made uninhabitable
by a 2013 six-alarm blaze has been
rebuilt.
The building is now fully equipped
with fire sprinklers with structural
upgrades made to the building and is
ready to lease.
The day after the fire, Redwood
City Fire Marshal Jim Palisi said its
rapid spread would have been reduced
if the building had been equipped
with sprinklers.
The blaze was reported shortly
after 5:15 a.m. at the Terrace
Apartments Oct. 16, 2013, and was
controlled by about 9 a.m. although

crews were on hand throughout the

day to control hot spots.
Two residents were hospitalized
with moderate injuries, while two
others were taken to hospitals with
minor injuries.
The blaze occurred a few months

Plane crash kills 1 on freeway

where it once landed safely
By Brian Melley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES A small plane that

made headlines when it landed safely
on a Southern California freeway years
ago crashed on the same stretch of
road, slamming into a car and killing a
woman in the vehicle.
Five others, including the pilot and
his passenger, were injured in the
crash on a stretch of Interstate 15 that
has been the scene of several emergency landings.
Witnesses said the single-engine
plane appeared to be having problems
before it banked and came down
Saturday, California Highway Patrol
Officer Chris Parent said. One man said
he didnt hear the planes engine as it
passed overhead.

The Lancair IV landed on its belly

and skidded about 250 feet before
striking the rear of a black Nissan
Altima that was stopped on the shoulder of the road in San Diego County
near Fallbrook. The driver of the car
had pulled over to synchronize the
Bluetooth device on his phone, Parent
said.
The impact crumpled the back of the
car, fatally crushing Antoinette
Isbelle, 38, of San Diego in the back
seat and injuring three others in the
vehicle, authorities said.
The plane went completely into the
trunk and pushed the rear bumper
almost into the rear passenger seat,
said John Buchanan, spokesman for
the North County Fire Protection
District.
Pilot Dennis Hogge, 62, and his

female passenger suffered major

injuries, Parent said. The driver suffered moderate injuries, and his other
two passengers were expected to survive their injuries.
The plane was once owned by major
league catcher Matt Nokes, who made a
noteworthy landing on busy I-15 when
the engine quit on its second flight on
Feb. 18, 2000.
Nokes guided the high-performance
$500,000 plane to a smooth landing
and safely taxied off the road without
injuries.
Nokes went on to fly the plane every
day for five years without incident
before selling it. He said it had been
rebuilt several times since he sold it.
It was crazy, Nokes said.
Everything worked out so beautifully.
It was almost a humorous thing.

CHP chases Chihuahua on Bay Bridge

A small dog led California Highway Patrol officers on a

At 6:56 a.m., CHP officials reported a dog running in the
eastbound lanes of the Bay Bridge. At one point the dog,
described as a black Chihuahua, was running against traffic,
according to CHP officials.
After a brief chase, officers were able to safely catch the
wayward pup. The dog was taken to San Francisco Animal
Care and Control, CHP officials said.
Officers are currently looking for the dog's owner. Anyone
with information about the dog is asked to contact (415)

Special election to fill seat in Assembly

By Alison Noon
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO A physician
whose father left the California
Legislature six years ago is competing with a Fresno city councilman for a vacant seat in the state
Assembly thats critical to
Democrats goal for a two-thirds
majority.
Democrat Joaquin Arambula, an
emergency room doctor, and
Republican Clint Olivier, a former
reporter and Marine Corps
Reserve radioman, are sparring to
fill the remaining eight months of
former Democratic Assemblyman
Henry Pereas term.
Perea endorsed Arambula to succeed him before he left office in
December to take a job in the
pharmaceutical industry. In the
Legislature, Perea led a group of
business-friendly Democrats who
blocked a provision in 2015 climate change legislation that
called for cutting petroleum use by
half within 15 years.

A deep-pocketed coalition of
special interest groups that backs
moderate Democrats has spent
more than $140,000 this year supporting Arambula and opposing
Olivier.
I tend to find people want to be
binary, they want to be able to
place you in a box and define you
and your positions, but Ill push
back a little, Arambula said. He
added, The business community,
they see (me as) someone who
understands the value of a dollar,
who understands unintended consequences.

Registered Democrats
Nearly 50 percent of the districts 170,000 voters are registered Democrats and 28 percent of
voters identify as Republicans.
The voters have supported
Democratic candidates for the
state and nations highest offices
since 2008, but Republicans hold
two of the three congressional districts overlapping the Assembly
district.

The people who live here

appreciate the contributions of
common-sense, Republican elected officials, Olivier, 40, said.
Thats what I am.
Although the bulk of the districts geographical area is farmland and the region is dominated
by agriculture and oil interests,
the majority of voters live in the
suburban south-Fresno area.
The
California
Medical
Association backs Arambula and
contributes to the political action
committee that, along with other
health groups around the state, are
the main reason Olivier has been
heavily out-raised and out-spent
during the campaign.
People who are not just locked
into an ideological set, but who
are pragmatic, thats who the
group looks for and thats who
Joaquin Arambula is, Janus
Norman, CMAs senior vice president for government relations,
said. By definition of his profession, hes someone who knows
how to work together in a team
environment to produce good out-

comes.
Arambulas campaign and outside groups supporting him have
raised more than $1.5 million this
year. As of the March 19 campaign
filing deadline, Arambula had
about $116, 000 in his special
election account.
Oliviers supporters have raised
about $470,000. He had $73,000
on hand for the special election on
March 19.

Party line
The two candidates toe their parties lines on most high-profile
issues, including the plan
Democratic lawmakers passed and
Republicans opposed this week to
gradually raise the statewide minimum wage to $15 an hour by
2022.
Despite reservations, Arambula
supports the raise, which he called
an economic and social justice
issue.
My concerns over the impact
to small business remains, but I
think the modest year-by-year

increases will lessen the impact,

Arambula said this week.
At a March 15 debate in Fresno,
Olivier said a $15 minimum wage
is an insane policy that would kill
jobs and decimate small businesses.
Im a city council member. I
can tell you quite confidently that
if we had to up the minimum wage
to $15 it would decimate the city
of Fresno, too, and result in layoffs, as it would to Fresno State,
as it would to the hospitals in our
area, Olivier said.
Another Democratic candidate,
retired project engineer Ted
Miller, is seen as less viable, but
could draw enough votes to cause
no candidate to receive more than
half of votes cast and trigger a
special runoff election. The winner of the special election is only
guaranteed the seat through
November, the end of Pereas
term.
Democrats currently hold 51 of
the 80 Assembly seats; 54 votes
are needed for the ability to raise
taxes.

Los Angeles father charged with killing son for being gay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES A Los Angeles

man charged with fatally shooting
his 29-year-old son for being gay
had repeatedly threatened to kill
him over his sexual orientation,
prosecutors say.
Amir Issa, 29, was found shot to
death just outside the family home
on Tuesday. While the Los
Angeles County district attorneys

office charged father Shehada Issa,

69, on Friday with murder as a hate
crime in the sons death, investigators on Saturday still were trying to determine responsibility
for a second killing at the home
discovered by police at the same
time, that of Amirs mother,
police spokesman Officer Mike
Lopez said.
The
mother,
68-year-old
Rabihah Issa, had been stabbed

repeatedly, coroners Lt. David

Smith said.
Shehada Issa told police he shot
his son Amir in self-defense after
he discovered his wifes body in
their house.
Prosecutors gave a different
motive for the sons killing, however. The murder was committed
because of the victims sexual orientation and because of the defendants perception of that status

and the victims association with

a person and a group of that status, prosecutors said in a statement.
They did not elaborate. Police
had no details Saturday on any of
the alleged threats the father had
made against his gay son.
Police arrested Issa at the scene
Tuesday, after he made statements
incriminating himself in the death
of his son, Lopez said.

He claimed (the son) was armed

with a knife, and there was no
knife to be found. It was a horrible
family tragedy, Detective John
Doerbecker said.
Authorities say the father used a
shotgun to shoot his son in the
abdomen and face, the Los
Angeles Times reported .
Neighbors told the newspaper
the young man had a troubled history.

Trump calls on Kasich to quit race

By Jill Colvin
and Josh Lederman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MILWAUKEE Donald Trump

on Sunday called for John Kasich
to drop out of the Republican presidential race, arguing that the
Ohio governor shouldnt be
allowed to continue accumulating
delegates if he has no chance of
becoming the nominee.
Working to recover his edge
after a difficult week, Trump said it
wasnt fair for Kasich, who has
won only his home state, to continue his campaign. He suggested
instead that Kasich, who has
pledged to make it to the summer
convention, follow the example
of Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush
candidates who quit after lagging
behind.
He doesnt have to run and take
my votes, he said.
Trump said Kasich could ask to
be considered at the GOP conven-

tion
in
Cleveland in
July even without competing
in the remaining nominating contests.
He added that he
had relayed his
concerns
to Donald Trump
R e p ub l i c a n
National Committee officials at a
meeting in Washington this past
week.
I said, Why is a guy allowed to
run? All hes doing is just he goes
from place to place and loses,
Trump told reporters at Miss
Katies Diner in Milwaukee, where
he stopped for breakfast. The state
holds its presidential primaries
Tuesday.
Kasichs campaign tried to flip
the script, contending that neither
Trump nor Texas Sen. Ted Cruz
would have enough delegates to
win the nomination outright

Nation brief
GOP Congress incomplete:
Stalled bills, no court nominee
WASHINGTON Congress increasingly
is being defined by what its not doing this
election year.
The Senate returns this week with a strong
majority of Republicans saying no to any
consideration of President Barack Obamas
nominee to the Supreme Court. No hearings, no vote and, for some lawmakers, not
even a meeting with federal appeals court
Judge Merrick Garland.
Republicans, led by Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., insist that the
decision on filling the court vacancy rests

going into the Cleveland.

Since he thinks its such a good
idea, we look forward to Trump
dropping out before the convention, said Kasich spokesman
Chris Schrimpf.
On the Democratic side, Hillary
Clinton told NBCs Meet the
Press that she had yet to receive a
request from the FBI for an interview regarding the private email
system she used as secretary of
state. And during a series of stops
at Brooklyn church services, she
got in a dig at her Democratic
opponent, Vermont Sen. Bernie
Sanders, who has identified as an
independent for most of his career.
I know we have to have a
Democrat succeed Barack Obama,
Clinton said.
Clinton and Sanders announced
theyd agreed to a debate in New
York before the consequential
April 19 primary, though the timing remained unclear. Sanders fired
up a crowd in Wausau, Wisconsin,

with the next president after voters have

their say in Novembers election.
A bipartisan bill to aid Flint, Michigan,
where the citys 100,000 residents are struggling with lead-contaminated water is being
blocked by Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, who
wants to ensure that the money is paid for
without adding to the deficit. The dispute
over Flint has snagged a far-reaching measure on energy.
In the House, where lawmakers return from
their break April 12, conservative opposition probably will make it impossible to
pass a budget, in what would be a major
embarrassment for Speaker Paul Ryan, RWis. A GOP proposal to aid debt-stricken
Puerto Rico has drawn criticism from
Democrats and conservatives, raising doubts
about Congress ability to resolve the issue.

CLEARANCE SALE

hoping to continue his string of

recent campaign victories even as
Clinton maintains a sizable delegate lead.
Trumps call for Kasich to bow
out came as Republican concerns
grew about the prospect of convention chaos if Trump fails to
lock up his partys nomination
or even if he does.
Behind Cruz in the polls in
Wisconsin, Trump faces the
prospect that a loss Tuesday will
raise further doubts that he can net
the needed delegates, making it far
easier for his party to oust him in
a floor fight at the convention.
Cruz, Trumps closest challenger, has only a small chance
to overtake him in the delegate
hunt before the convention. He
spent his afternoon rallying supporters in Wisconsin in an event
heavy with references to the
states beloved Green Bay
Packers.
Kasich has acknowledged he

cannot catch up in the delegate

race, leaving a contested convention his only path to victory. He
has faced calls in the past to step
aside, but those nudges became
less frequent following his decisive victory last month in his
home state.
Still, Kasich suggested that a
contested convention would not
involve the chaos that party
leaders fear.
Kids will spend less time
focusing
on
Bieber
and
Kardashian and more time focusing on how we elect presidents,
Kasich told ABC. It will be so
cool.
Republicans fear an unseemly
internal fight would damage the
party in Novembers general
election, and Trump isnt ruling
out the possibility of running as
an independent if hes not the
nominee, making it that much
harder for the GOP to retake the
White House.

Deportation of migrants from Greece to Turkey starts

By Demetris Nellas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATHENS, Greece An agreement between the European Union

and Turkey to deport migrants currently on Greek islands back to
the Turkish mainland is to take
effect Monday morning, but the
operation is threatened by a shortage of personnel.
Frontex, the EUs border management agency, is responsible
for the implementation of the
deal, but has less than one tenth of
the 2,300 officers that it needs to
do the job. The agency relies on
the EUs 28 member states to provide translators and other officials
to process asylum seekers, but
these have not been forthcoming,
even as the continent faces its
worst refugee crisis since World
War II.
The EU-Turkey deal aims to con-

Migrants and refugees gather to listen to Nadia Murad Basee Taha (not

by the Islamic State for three months, at the Greek-Macedonian border
near the village of Idomeni, Greece, Sunday.

In Iraq war, hundreds more

displaced by Islamic State
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MAKHMOUR, Iraq Fighting between

Iraqi forces and militants affiliated with the
Islamic State group close to Mosul, Iraqs
second largest city, has displaced over
2,000 people in the past week.
On one recent night, around a hundred
people arrived on the outskirts of the town
of Makhmour, in Iraqs semi-autonomous
northern Kurdish region, having fled violence.
The journey ended in a long-awaited
reunion for some families torn apart by
war. Sheikh Matar Kurdi al-Bijari had left

his home in the town of al-Zab, south of

Mosul, for the city of Kirkuk in 2014 but
was forced to leave his wife, daughter and
son behind.
When they fled to Makhmour in late
March, al-Bijari travelled to meet them.
Today is a very happy day for me because
I am finally reunited with my wife and my
kids. I hadnt seen them for a year and a
month, he said, after tearfully hugging his
family.
Until the beginning of 2015, civilians
could move easily between Kirkuk and ISheld areas, but more recently the front lines
have become almost impassable.

trol the mass influx of people into

Europe, many of whom have
crossed the dangerous Aegean Sea
with the help of smugglers. Under
the deal, migrants arriving illegally in Greece will be returned to
Turkey if they do not apply for
asylum or if they make an asylum
claim that is rejected.
For every person sent back, EU
countries would take in one person
confirmed to have made a legitimate asylum request.
The deal was originally supposed to take effect immediately,
on March 19, but has faced delays
due to the shortage of personnel
and other problems.
The looming implementation of
the deal and the closure of
European borders have slowed the
flow of people into Greece but not
stopped it altogether. In the 24
hours leading to 7:30 a. m.
Sunday, 514 arrived, according to

authorities. There are now over

6, 100 migrants in the Aegean
islands, more than half in Lesbos.
Giorgos Kyritsis, a spokesman
for the Greek governments
refugee crisis committee, told The
Associated Press that Frontex
only has 200 officers in place to
accompany the deported migrants,
but almost none of the other personnel that would facilitate
screening those who apply for
asylum.
Other agencies, such as UNHCR,
the United Nations refugee
agency, are trying to help
migrants go through the asylum
application process. Many avoid
even applying, certain they will
be deported anyway.
Frontex has secured three vessels that will make the short trip
from the island of Lesbos to the
Turkish coast starting Monday
morning.

Azerbaijan announces cease-fire

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAKU, Azerbaijan Azerbaijans

Defense Ministry announced a unilateral
cease-fire Sunday against the separatist
region of Nagorno-Karabakh, but rebel
forces in the area said that they continued to
come under fire from Azerbaijani forces.
Fighting in what was a dormant conflict
for two decades flared up over the weekend
with a boy and at least 30 troops killed on
both sides. Each side blamed the other for
Saturdays escalation, the worst since the
end of a full-scale war in 1994.
The Defense Ministry said, in response to
pleas from international organizations, it
will be unilaterally suspending a counteroffensive and response on the territories
occupied by Armenia. The ministry added it
will not focus on fortifying the territory
that Azerbaijan has liberated. It did not
elaborate.
Nagorno-Karabakh,
a
region
in
Azerbaijan, has been under the control of
local ethnic Armenian forces and the
Armenian military since a war ended in
1994 with no resolution of the regions status. The conflict is fueled by long-simmering tensions between Christian Armenians
and mostly Muslim Azeris.

Armenian forces also occupy several areas

outside Nagorno-Karabakh proper. The
sides are separated by a demilitarized buffer
zone, but small clashes have broken out frequently.
Earlier Sunday, a spokesman for
Azerbaijans Defense Ministry, Vagif
Dargyakhly, said Azerbaijani positions
came under fire overnight and that civilian
areas also were hit.
On Saturday, Armenia said 18 soldiers
were killed and Azerbaijan reported 12 dead.
Footage from the village of Gapanli, over
250 kilometers east of Baku, on the
Azerbaijani side, showed Grad multiple missile launchers firing rounds from the field.
Officials in the self-proclaimed republic
of Nagorno-Karabakh promptly disputed
the reports of the unilateral cease-fire, saying that the town of Martakert has been
heavily shelled all day despite Azerbaijans
pledge. David Babayan, spokesman for the
Karabakh president, told The Associated
Press on Sunday that they had not seen any
signs that fighting was suspended: The situation is quite the opposite.
The defense ministry of NagornoKarabakh on Sunday also claimed to have
restored control over a strategic area near
the front line.

Rethinking global environmental policy

Other voices

The Khaleej Times

ver the last 10 years, climate change has become

almost synonymous with
carbon emissions. The reduction of
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere,
measured in tons of carbon equivalents (CO2e) has emerged as the
paramount objective in the quest to
preserve the planet. But such a simplistic approach cannot possibly
resolve the highly complex and interconnected ecological crises we currently face.
Global environmental policys single-minded focus on carbon metrics
reects a broader obsession with
measurement and accounting. The
world runs on abstractions calories, miles, pounds and now tons of
CO2e that are seemingly objective
and reliable, especially when embedded in expert (often economic) language. As a result, we tend to overlook the effects of each abstractions
history, and the dynamics of power
and politics that continue to shape it.
One key example of a powerful and
somewhat illusory global abstraction
is the gross domestic product (GDP),
which was adopted as the main measure of a countrys economic development and performance after World War
II, when world powers were building
international nancial institutions
that were supposed to reect relative
economic power. Today, however,
GDP has become a source of widespread frustration.

When it comes to climate change,

this preference translates into singleminded support for solutions that
marginally reduce net carbon emissions solutions that may impede
broad economic transformations or
undermine communities capacity to
dene specic problems and develop
appropriate solutions. This approach
can be traced back to the 1992 Earth
Summit in Rio de Janeiro, where climate policy embarked on a rocky and
violent path of forgotten alternatives. In the course of the last quarter
century, at least three critical mistakes were made.
First, governments introduced the
CO2e unit of calculation to quantify
in a consistent manner the effects of
disparate greenhouse gases, such as
CO2, methane and nitrous oxide. The
variations among these gases in
terms of their warming potential, how
long they remain in the atmosphere,
where they appear, and how they
interact with local ecosystems and
economies are profound. Second,
the UN climate change convention
emphasised end of pipe techniques
(methods aimed at removing contaminants from the atmosphere). This
enabled decision-makers to deect
attention away from the politically
challenging objective of limiting the
activities producing those emissions.
Third, policymakers decided to
focus on net emissions, considering biological processes involving

land, plants and animals together

with those associated with the burning of fossil fuels. Just like industrial
facilities, paddy elds and cows were
treated as emissions sources, and
tropical forests, monoculture tree
plantations and bogs as emission
sinks.
Now, in the wake of last Decembers
climate summit in Paris, the world is
on the verge of taking yet another
wrong turn, by embracing the idea of
negative emissions, which assumes
that new technologies will be able to
remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Yet
such technologies have yet to be
invented, and even if they were, their
implementation would be highly
risky.
Rather than pursue proven solutions, we are counting on some miraculous innovation to save us, deus ex
machina, just in the nick of time. The
folly of this approach should be obvious.
If carbon metrics continue to shape
climate policy, new generations will
know only a carbon-constrained
and, if they are lucky, a low-carbon
world. Instead of pursuing such a simplistic vision, we must pursue richer
strategies aimed at transforming our
economic systems to work within
and with our natural environment.
For that, we will need a new way of
thinking that spurs active engagement to reclaim and conserve the
spaces where alternative approaches
can grow and ourish. It will not be
easy, but it will be worth it.

Aging of pictures

Belmonts General Plan

Editor,
Responding to Dorothy Dimitres
recent column, Is that you, Jon?
(in the March 30 edition of the Daily
Journal) on aging pictures, not
people, let me say this: On the cover
of my second book, Power to the
Dancers, there appears a woman
dancing. When the book had already
been out for a while, a reader asked me
why I hadnt put my own picture on
the cover. That IS me, I answered
in surprise. And at another time, when
a different person asked who the
dancer was, I said, Me, of course!
But that is when I realized that my
looks had, indeed, changed. That is
when I knew that regarding photos of
ourselves we see that which we feel.
So, to Dorothy, to Jon and to all of
us, I say be glad for that energetic
feeling. It means that we are still
healthy, vibrant, optimistic, mostly
loving, quick to laugh and probably
somewhat at peace.

Superman,
Batman and
The Escapist

ith comic book heroes very much in the news

because of the new movie Batman v
Superman (not that great), it is especially
timely that the San Mateo Library Foundation will be
hosting its annual authors gala with Michael Chabon.
Chabon will be discussing his Pulitzer Prize winning
novel, Kavalier and
Clay (an excellent read)
which among other subjects deals with the rise
and fall of comic strips.
He writes of the golden
age of the comic book
between the late 1930s
and early 50s. Chabons
super hero is not Batman
or Superman but The
Escapist. The Escapist is
based on the main character, Josef Kavaliers
Houdini-like escape from
the Nazis, in a coffin from
Prague.
Rachel Myrow of KQED
will interview Chabon. The gala will be 6 p.m.-10 p.m.
Saturday, April 30, at the Green Hills Country Club in
Millbrae. Go to smlibraryfoundation.org/gala for more
information.
Proceeds benefit the San Mateo main library and
branches. In the past, this revenue has helped restore
library hours on weekends and 10 a.m. instead of 11
a.m. openings at the main library. This year, proceeds
will restore 40 hours of operation versus current 28
hours at the Marina and Hillsdale branches and keep the
Main branch open until 9 p.m. instead of 8 p.m.
Monday-Thursday.
Last year, the gala raised $135,000 to support a technology lending service which helps address the digital
divide by lending tablets, laptops and mobile devices to
patrons. Co-chairs are Terri Garnick of San Mateo and
Amy Liou of Hillsborough. They are assisted by 12
other members of the Literary Society, which is an auxiliary to the foundation. Members are Aileen
Catanzarita, Liz De Winter, Kathryn Dwyer, Marni
Gerber, Shelley Goldberg, Jill Jacobson, Annette
Kranzler, Keren Kotowitz, Tea Rajic, Chris Schweitzer,
Rada Zarandian and Stephanie Zheng.
***
The San Mateo Library Foundation, founded in 1994,
works in partnership with the library to help ensure that
high-quality library services will be available for today
and for future generations and to determine where private
support can have the greatest impact without supplanting the publics role in funding a vibrant library system.
Mutual goals are to strengthen education and early literacy, to foster economic and workforce development and
to enrich personal learning. This year, the award-winning design main library will be celebrating its 10th
anniversary.
***
Here are 10 things you many not know the San Mateo
Main Library offers:
1). A U.S. passport acceptance service;
2) A Biotechnology Learning Center to support student research and access to health information;
3) An interactive public education kiosk on solar energy conservation and sustainability best practices;
4). A meeting room rental service that includes a
Bsendorfer grand piano for music recitals;
5). A world languages collection that offers books in
Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, Farsi and French;
6). Support to book clubs (good reads suggestions and
reserving copies of books);
7). The free Link+ service to locate hard to find titles;
8). More than 150 free public computers plus Wi-Fi
in all library locations;
9). Elephant folio of John James Audubons Birds of
America on permanent display; and
10). A Play2Learn Center for infants/toddlers and
preschoolers to gain early literacy skills while they
play.

News group claims huge trove

of data on offshore accounts
By Frank Jordans
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BERLIN An international
coalition of media outlets on
Sunday published what it said was
an extensive investigation into
the offshore financial dealings of
the rich and famous, based on a
vast trove of documents provided
by an anonymous source.
The International Consortium
of Investigative Journalism, a
nonprofit organization based in
Washington, said the cache of
11.5 million records detailed the
offshore holdings of a dozen current and former world leaders, as
well as businessmen, criminals,
celebrities and sports stars.
The Associated Press wasnt
immediately able to verify the
allegations made in articles that
were published by the more than
100 news organizations around
the world involved in the investigation.

However, the German newspaper

Sueddeutsche Zeitung, which first
received the data more than a year
ago, said it was confident the
material was genuine.
The Munich-based daily was
offered the data through an
encrypted channel by an anonymous source who requested no
monetary compensation and asked
only for unspecified security
measures,
said
Bastian
Obermayer, a reporter for the
paper.
The data concerned internal documents from a Panama-based law
firm, Mossack Fonseca. Founded
by
German-born
Juergen
Mossack, the firm has offices
across the globe and is among the
worlds biggest creators of shell
companies, the newspaper said.
Mossack Fonseca did not immediately respond to an AP request for
comment.
ICIJ said the law firms leaked
internal files contain information

on 214,488 offshore entities connected to people in more than 200

countries and territories. It said it
would release the full list of companies and people linked to them
early next month.
Obermayer said that over the
course of several months
Sueddeutsche Zeitung received
about 2. 6 terabytes of data
more than would fit on 600 DVDs.
The newspaper said the amount of
data it obtained is several times
larger than a previous cache of offshore
data
published
by
WikiLeaks in 2013 that exposed
the financial dealings of prominent individuals.
To our knowledge this is the
biggest leak that journalists have
ever worked on, Obermayer said.
The newspaper and its partners
verified the authenticity of the
data by comparing it to public registers, witness testimony and
court rulings, he told The AP. A
previous cache of Mossack

Fonseca documents obtained by

German authorities was also used
for to verify the new material,
Obermayer added.
Among the countries with past
or present political figures named
in the reports are Iceland, Ukraine,
Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Russia.
The Guardian newspaper, which
took part in the investigation,
published a video on its website
late Sunday showing an interview
with Icelands Prime Minister
Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson.

Rent control spreads from pricey San Francisco to suburbs

By Janie Har
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA Charles Edwards

is a merry self-described hillbilly
from Tennessee who knows much
about Victorian-era railroads and
not so much about political campaigning.
But this year, the 77-year-old
retired city gardener will be
knocking on doors in Alameda to
persuade voters of this maritime
city on San Francisco Bay to support a citizen initiative to cap rent
increases. Last June, the rent on
his one-bedroom flat increased 24
percent to $1,300, leaving him
$289 a month for utilities, food
and other expenses.
Like I say, I dont like doing it,
but Im pushed in a corner, I feel
like, Edwards said.
Once upon a time, the concept
of rent control was largely limited
to costly, coveted cities such as
San Francisco or New York where
there were too many people and
not enough apartments.

But tenant demand for protections is shifting to San Francisco

Bay Area suburbs as priced-out
workers flee to sleepy bedroom
communities in search of cheaper
dwellings. The region known for a
sizzling tech-fueled economy has
added 440, 000 jobs but only
50, 000 new housing units,
according to the business-sponsored Bay Area Council.
State legislation approved last
week to raise the states minimum
wage to $15 an hour by 2022 is
expected to help tenants afford
increasing rents, but can only do
so much in a region where the
median rent is $3,350, according
to real estate data firm Zillow.
Zillow calculates that a single
earner would need an hourly wage
of $67, or $33.50 each for two, in
order to reasonably afford the rent.
At least youre taking a step in
the right direction to address
income inequality, said Zillows
chief economist Svenja Gudell,
but added that, $15 doesnt move
the needle all that much.

Last year, a raucous city council

meeting over rent control in
Alameda, population 75, 000,
resulted in two arrests. Farther
north, city leaders of Sonoma
Countys Healdsburg, population
11, 000, approved voluntary
guidelines to keep rent increases
to 10 percent or less.
Tenant activists in Alameda and
Richmond a waterfront industrial town of nearly 110,000
are fighting to place rent control
on municipal ballots this fall. So
are residents of Burlingame, a
pricey, leafy city of 30,000 on the
San Francisco Peninsula.
The burst of Bay Area suburban
squabbles doesnt surprise analysts. The median rental price in
the five-county San Francisco
metropolitan area for February
was $3,350, up 10.5 percent from
a year ago, according to Zillow.
Wages, while high for Silicon
Valley professionals, have not
kept pace for many other people.
Economists, landlords and
developers say rent control makes

the situation worse by restricting

supply, resulting in run-down
apartments and driving market
prices higher. Tenant advocates,
however, argue that caps on
increases and other renter protections are critical in a housing market thats ousting seniors and families.
Runaway rents are an issue
nationally as the gap between
wages and housing prices widen
amid greater demand. Rent control
is outlawed in 35 states, including
Washington where Seattle proponents have asked state lawmakers
to overturn the ban. West
Hollywood in Southern California
is the most recent city to pass a
rent control ordinance that stuck
and that was in June 1985.
Advocacy
group
Tenants
Together says a dozen cities have
some form of rent control in
California,
including
San
Francisco and Los Angeles.
Activists in Oakland and San Jose
are also pushing beefed-up rent
protections. A state law limits any

Move to OK commercial drone flights

By Joan Lowy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON A governmentsponsored committee is recommending

standards that could clear the way for
commercial drone flights over populated
areas and help speed the introduction of
package delivery drones and other uses
not yet possible, the Associated Press
has learned.
The Federal Aviation Administration
currently prohibits most commercial
drone flights over populated areas, especially crowds. That ban frustrates a host
of industries that want to take advantage
of the technology.
Every TV station in the country wants
one, but they cant be limited to flying
in the middle of nowhere because theres
no news in the middle of nowhere, said
Jim Williams, a former head of FAAs
drone office who now advises the industry for Dentons, an international law
firm.
Cellular network providers also want
to loosen restrictions so drones, also
known as unmanned aerial vehicles, can
inspect cell towers, which often are in

urban areas. Amazons vision for package deliveries entails drones winging
their way over city and suburban neighborhoods.
The AP obtained a copy of the recommendations, which were sent to the FAA
late Friday. The agency is not bound by
the recommendations and can make
changes when it writes final rules.
The recommendations call for creating
four categories of small drones that commercial operators can fly over people,
including crowds in some cases. The
first category of drones would weigh no
more than about a half-pound. They
essentially could fly unrestricted over
people, including crowds. Drone makers
would have to certify that if the drone hit
someone, there would be no more than a
1 percent chance that the maximum force
of the impact would cause a serious
injury.
For the three other categories, the
drones would have to fly at least 20 feet
over the heads of people and keep a distance of at least 10 feet laterally from
someone.
Drones in the second category are
expected to be mostly small quadcopters

drones with multiple arms and propellers, and weighing 4 pounds to 5

pounds but there is no weight limit.
Flights over people, including crowds,
would depend on the design and operating instructions. Manufacturers would
have to demonstrate through testing that
the chance of injury was 1 percent.
Drones in the third category could not
fly over crowds or densely populated
areas. These drones would be used for
work in closed or restricted sites where
the people that the drones fly over have
permission from the drone operator to
be present. Those people would be incidental to the drone operations and
flights over them would be brief, rather
than sustained. Manufacturers would
have to show there was a 30 percent
chance or less that a person would be
seriously injured if struck by the drone at
the maximum strength impact possible.
Drones in the fourth category could
have sustained flights over crowds.
The operator would have to work with
the FAA to show that the flights could
be conducted safely and engage the
local community while developing the
plan.

rent restrictions on housing built

after 1995 and exempts all singlefamily homes.
The three Bay Area ballot proposals would limit annual increases to the consumer price index or
less, which would result in hikes
in the low single digits rather than
the double-digit ones that have
renters clamoring for help. The
measures also limit evictions to
just cause so landlords cant
simply toss someone out for
another tenant who can pay more.
In August, the Richmond City
Council narrowly approved a rent
control measure. But after a lobbying group for landlords collected
enough signatures to put the issue
to voters, the council repealed the
ordinance. Activists are trying
again.
In Richmond last month, several dozen people packed a community center to learn how to collect
signatures for the new initiative.
Something has to change, said
Gayle McLaughlin, a Richmond
city council member.

Biagini to the bigs with Jays

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

KIM KLEMENT/USA TODAY SPORTS

Former CSM hurler Joe Biagini was named to the Blue Jays
opening-day roster as a Rule 5 draft pick from the Giants.

A second-generation professional
baseball player, Joe Biagini has long
wanted to make his father proud by
reaching the big leagues.
Sunday, Biagini realized that dream
with his first day on a major league roster, as the right-handed pitcher was
included on the Toronto Blue Jays
opening-day roster.
While Biagini didnt pitch in the Blue
Jays 5-3 win in Tampa Bay, he was still
floating on air in waiting for the feeling

of reaching the big leagues, after spending four seasons in the San Francisco
Giants farm system, to set in. He said it
still hadnt after receiving the news last
Wednesday he was Toronto bound.
Ive been waiting for like 20 years to
have that phone call with my dad,
Biagini said. So it was pretty special to
say the least.

that allows organizations to pluck players from other teams systems if not

Brotherly showdown
By Ralph D. Russo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HOUSTON Kris Jenkins and Nate Britt,

brothers in every way except blood, are giving each other the silent treatment for about
48 hours.
Maybe they will exchange a good luck or
a fist bump before Jenkins and Villanova (345) face Britt and North Carolina (33-6) on
Monday night in the NCAA Tournament
championship game. Otherwise, Nah,
Jenkins said, no talking.
Its the biggest competition yet between a
couple guys who grew up trying to beat each
other in everything. While the Wildcats-Tar
Heels matchup might be a no-lose situation
for the Britt family, for the players involved
there will definitely be only one winner.
Whoever wins the game, obviously the
other one is going to be hurt and going to
feel bad, Britt said. Thatll be permanent
bragging rights for the rest of our lives.
Jenkins and Britt met as 10-year-olds playing AAU basketball in the Washington D.C.
area. Eventually, Jenkins started playing for
a team coached by Britts father and spending
lots of time at the Britts home especially
when Jenkins mother, Felicia, was spending
almost all of her time at the hospital with her
ailing infant daughter. Kori was 11 months
old when she died.
When Felicia Jenkins, a former college
basketball player, got a job coaching at
Benedict College in Columbia, South
Carolina, she felt it would be best for Kris to
stay with the Britts in Maryland permanently. In 2007, the Britts became Jenkins legal
guardians.
Its been the greatest decision thats ever
happened in my life, Jenkins said.

Caada rallies for big comeback over Skyline

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The Caada Colts continued their ascent

through the Coast Pacific Conference ranks
Saturday with a big comeback for a 10-9
extra-inning win Saturday at home over
Skyline College.
After overcoming big deficits of 3-0 and 93, the Colts walked off in the 10th inning on
Robbie Galvan RBI single
into center to plate Dante
Biagini with the gamewinner.
With the win, first-place
Caada (6-1 in Coast
Pacific, 10-13 overall)
has now won six of its
first seven to open Coast
Robbie Galvan Pacific Conference play.
It also marks the Colts
second consecutive comeback victory, after
downing Cabrillo 5-4 with a two-run, walkoff rally in the ninth last Thursday.
Colts manager Tony Lucca credited his veteran sophomore lineup as the recipe for
outscoring conference opponents 51-31 this
season.
With a lot of sophomores theyve been
through it, Lucca said. Theyve been
through some tough games.
Closing late is something Caada will have
to do over the long haul to keep up its firstplace standing. Although the Colts have the
best conference record on paper, they opened
conference play with a pair of two-game
series sweeps over the two Coast Pacific cellar-dwellers in Gavilan and Hartnell.
A two-game series split with second-place
Cabrillo was pivotal though, especially after
the Seahawks had moved into a first-place tie
after last Tuesdays 8-1 win in the series opener. But Caada answered back with Thursdays
come-from-behind victory, a trend that carried over into Saturdays wild one against
fifth-place Skyline.
I dont like playing in those (dramatic)
games but I like the offense, Lucca said.
However, it was Skyline that came out
swinging against right-hander Julius Raval,
who has been Caada keystone arm this season.
After each team scored three runs in the first
inning, the Trojans (3-4, 10-12-1) erupted for
six more runs in the top of the second. After
Skyline sophomore Neil Sterling drilled a

three-run homer in the

first his fourth of the
year sophomore designated hitter Armando
Fajardo had the big swing
of the bat in the second,
launching a grand slam to
center field to stake
Skyline to a 9-3 lead.
We had a couple games
Armando
earlier in the year where
Fajardo
we went down and it kind
of deflated us; and I just reminded them of
that, Lucca said. We hadnt even been up yet
so lets come back and answer.
The Colts did just that, rallying for four
runs in the bottom of the second to knock
Skyline starting pitcher Daniel Madigan out
of the game, closing the Trojans lead to 9-7.
Raval settled in from there, soldiering
through five innings to take a no-decision.
His offense picked him up, Lucca said.
They didnt answer with all nine runs back
right away but in the third inning youre playing a two-run game. And we like our chances
in a close game against those guys.
Lucca said Ravals turnaround was a product
of getting strike-one, something he didnt do
through the first two innings. Then relievers
Nico Mayoral and Nick Moisant followed
with five shutout innings.
[Raval] settled in like he has all year long
and started getting ahead of hitters, Lucca
said. So we were able to squeeze five out of
Julius. Then Nico came in and just shut them
down. That was probably his best outing of
the year. And Moisant has been solid for us
all year.
The Colts scratched out a run in the third to
draw closer, then the bottom of the order
served up the late-inning dramatics.
Caada tied the game in the bottom of the
eighth to force extra innings. Sophomore
Sean Walsh the Colts No. 8 hitter hit a
shot down the left-field line that barely
cleared the wall from a game-tying solo home
run.
Then in the 10th, the Colts broke through
for their only lead of the game. Biagini led off
with a single to left. He advanced to second
on a groundout off the bat of Walsh. Then
with two outs, Galvan shot a single through
the middle to win it.
Moisant earned the win in relief for his second consecutive victory. He also tabbed the
win last Thursday with three shutout innings

against Cabrillo.
Caada and Skyline close the two-game
series Tuesday at Trojan Diamond. Two of the
Colts biggest tests in conference are yet to
come though, as Caada opens a two-game
series Thursday against third-place Ohlone.

Bulldogs rout CCSF

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

College of San Mateo (6-3 in Coast Golden

Gate, 17-8 overall) got a little payback in a
big way against City
College of San Francisco.
During the football season, it was CCSF that
eliminated CSM from the
postseason en route to
freshman
quarterback
Anthony Gordon leading
the Rams to a state championship. The diamond
Juan Gonzalez Dogs, however, welcomed back Gordon the two-sport standout
also plays for the Rams baseball team
with an outpouring of CSM offense.
The Bulldogs rolled to a 9-5 victory, putting up four-spots in the fifth and sixth to
take a 9-0 lead into the late innings. CCSF (09, 2-21-1) got on the board with a run in the
eighth and scored four more in the ninth to
make the game look a lot closer than it was.
CSM sophomore Juan Gonzalez paced all
hitters with a 3-for-4 afternoon. The slugging
DH produced an RBI single in the fifth and
added an RBI double in the sixth. Leadoff hitter Anders Green also posted an RBI in each
the fifth and sixth. Catcher Ray Soderman
added a two-run single in the fifth.
Soderman and Graham Macmillan tabbed
two hits apiece for the Bulldogs, he totaled 12
hits as a team.
Starting pitcher Tommy Watanabe worked
six shutout innings to earn the win. His
record improves to 3-0 on the year.
The game also served as a much-needed
respite for CSMs core three relief pitchers,
Mark Quinby, Brady Navarro and Drew
Reveno. It marked just the fourth game this
season, and the first Coast Golden Gate
Conference play, in which none of the three
pitched. Reveno is currently tied for fourth in
the state with 16 appearances. Quinby is
right behind with 15, while Navarro has 12.
Gordon a freshman out of Terra Nova
was 1 for 4 in the game. He is currently hitting .260 with a home run and six RBIs.

Entering weekend play, Stanford sophomore Mikey Diekroeger was scuffling around
the Mendoza line. His 6for-11 performance in a
three-game series against
USC, however, bolstered
his batting average nearly 50 points.
The Cardinal bounced
back to take the series after
dropping Fridays opener
1-0 at Sunken Diamond.

And it took a big comeDiekroeger
back in Saturdays 11-8
victory to do it. Stanford trailed 8-2 Saturday,
but rallied to tie it in the sixth before taking the
lead in the seventh on a Diekroeger solo homer.
The third baseman put on a show both sides
of the ball in the fateful seventh. In the top of
the frame, USC had a runner on with one out,
but Diekroeger fielded a smash off the bat of
Adelberto Carrillo and turned an around-thehorn twin killing to retire the side.
Diekroeger a Woodside native out of
Menlo School went 3 for 3 with an RBI and
four runs scored in the game. He backed that up
in Sundays 8-1 win, going 3 for 5. After entering the series batting just .204, Diekroeger is
now hitting .250 with two homers and 14 RBIs.
He was the man who converted Mike
Krukow from a catcher to a pitcher. He also
moved Brandon Belt off the mound to first
base. Now, Augie Garrido is being recognized
as one of the greatest college baseball managers in history.
Garrido a Vallejo native who started his
college coaching career at San Francisco State
in 1969 was elected to the National College
Baseball Hall of Fame, it was announced last
Thursday. He will be inducted at a ceremony
July 2 in Lubbock, Texas along with two-time
Florida State All-American J.D. Drew.
Currently the manager at University of
Texas, Garrido is the all-time winningest manager in Division-I history with 1,962 victories, a total amassed between Cal Poly (197072), Cal State Fullerton (1973-87, 91-96),
Illinois (1988-90) and Texas (1997-present).

coming in. I had some good velocity in the spring as well so I think
that helped solidify what I was
working on.
Being a Rule 5 draftee can be a difficult path though. Last season, former Santa Clara University standout J.R. Graham was a Rule 5 selection of the Minnesota Twins. The
Livermore native endured an entire
season on the Twins roster, posting a 4.95 ERA through 39 appearances. This season, however,
Graham was optioned to Triple-A
Rochester to start the year.
Through the spring, and even for
Sundays opener on the road,
Biagini sported the No. 66. He said
he intends to ask for a different
number when the Blue Jays return to
Toronto for Fridays home opener
against the Boston Red Sox.
Not that he has a problem with
the unorthodox baseball number,
per se. He said not wanting to wear
No. 66 is more out of respect for

former Blue Jays infielder

Munenori Kawasaki a popular
player through his three years in
Toronto who wore that number
before departing via free agency
after last season.

healthy and ready to go. Thats all

you want. For us to start the season like this, I couldnt be happier.
The Brewers like where their
organization is headed as they
embark on their first full season of
renovation. Spring training
allowed team brass to get closer
glimpses of top prospects like
shortstop Orlando Arcia and outfielder Brett Phillips.
The immediate future is less rosy
at the big league level. The
Brewers seem highly unlikely to

finish above fourth with the Cubs,

Cardinals and Pirates each aiming
for the NL Central crown.
There are veteran placeholders
around the infield outside of second baseman Scooter Gennett.
Braun and, especially, Lucroy
could be attractive in-season trade
candidates to contending teams.
For Braun, Monday marks his
return to left field after two seasons in right. Young slugger
Domingo Santana, who was
acquired in the deal that sent
Carlos Gomez to Houston, is tak-

ing over Brauns old position.

Knock on wood the biggest
key is staying healthy. As long as
I stay healthy I think I have a
chance to have a pretty good
year, said Braun, who sat out a
week during the spring to rest his
back. Brauns offseason scheduled
was pushed back a couple weeks
because of offseason back surgery.
Wily Peralta, who will be making his first career opening-day
start on Monday, is another
holdover who could be shopped at
midseason.

Out of respect for the previous

owner, Im going to try to change it
to something else, Biagini said.
Its just one of many things on
Biaginis to-do list, which includes
finding a place to live in Toronto,
not to mention adjusting to living
in Canada, the first time hes lived
in another country. But hes first
and foremost focused on the job at
hand helping the Blue Jays get
back to the postseason, where they
were defeated in the American
League Championship Series by
the eventual world champion
Kansas City Royals.
Its a very welcoming group and
it seems like everyone contributes
something different, Biagini said.
Im still getting to know them but
Im just trying to take in as much as
I can.

Gray gives As
bona fide ace

OAKLAND As right-hander

just get it going from there.
Oh, the As are used to this by now.
Go ahead and list them in last place
before the season even starts.
The As begin another season with
low outside expectations and
thoughts that the low-budget club will
be at the bottom of the AL West and
perhaps even the American League.
Weve always been a team that
runs a little bit under the radar, manager Bob Melvin said. It certainly
doesnt hurt. Id hate to think that we
cant perform with expectations, but
this teams always been in past
years a team that has not really at the
beginning been expected to do
much. Were fine with that chip.
The As are counting on their
revamped bullpen to back the starters
after Oakland went a majors-worst
19-35 in one-run games last year.
Sale is the first of three straight
left-handers Oakland gets to start
the year, meaning Melvin might
not be mixing and matching his
lineups right away.
We expect everybody to be
ready, Melvin said. Again, were

Currys impact still resonating in March Madness

By Eddie Pells

He made the improbable probable.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HOUSTON Though he moved on to the

NBA long ago, March Madness is also Steph
Currys world now.
Whether it was the Villanova kid swishing a
40-footer just because he could, or the
Northern Iowa guard sinking the half-court
buzzer-beater when he had to, reminders of
Curry, who burst onto the college scene with
double-digit Davidson and has now turned the
Warriors into NBA champions, have been
stamped all over this years NCAA
Tournament.
Hes made the improbable probable, said
Reggie Miller, the former UCLA and Pacers
star who was never shy about launching from a
distance himself.
Villanova and North Carolina will wrap up
the college season Monday.
Those looking to draw big-picture conclusions about whether college hoops has been
irreversibly Curry-ized might view the
matchup like this: Its the Wildcats, who defied
every prediction about bad sightlines in
Houstons stadium and shot 11 for 18 from 3point land against Oklahoma; and its the Tar
Heels, who rank 290th in the country in 3point shooting and could barely draw iron
from long range for most of their game against

weight and hes not going to do all the stuff we
do, Wright said.
But the 6-foot-6 Jenkins, who weighed as
much as 280 pounds back in high school,
liked what he heard from Wright. He ended up
committing to Villanova, and dropping 40
pounds, and Britt chose North Carolina.
When the Tar Heels and Wildcats played each
other in the first round of the 2013 NCAA
Tournament, Jenkins and Britt watched the

game together, rooting for their future schools

and not talking to each other. They trash
texted each other and didnt even sit on the
same couch.
That was fun, Britt said. North Carolina
won 78-71.
The Britts have spent the past few weeks
bouncing around the country watching their
sons play. Last weekend, they managed to
attend all four Elite Eight games, two in
Philadelphia (where North Carolina played)
and two in Louisville (were Villanova played).
Jenkins even attended North Carolinas East
Regional championship victory against Notre
Dame.
Nate Britt, the 6-1 guard who averages 5.5
points off the bench, said he does not know

which section his parents and sister will be sitting Monday night.
I tried to ask them how they would remain
neutral, what they would wear, but they didnt
tell me, Britt said.
Jenkins, second on Villanova in scoring
(13.5 per game), remains close with his birth
parents. He says he has two families. And he
roots for North Carolina all the time. Well,
almost.
I do hope he plays well, Jenkins said. I
hope hes injury free and things like that. But
theres nobody in the world I want to beat more
than my brother.
Some things to watch for when Villanova
plays North Carolina in the NCAA Tournament
for the seventh time (the Tar Heels are 5-1).

ball-dribbling drills and everything else during the warmup, said Wes Kosel, an assistant
coach at Division III Colorado College.
And its not just at the college level, but at
the camp level, Kosel said. A couple years
ago, it was everyone with the Kevin Durant
clothes. Now, its all the Steph Curry clothes,
and you see kids work at losing the ball, then
picking it up and shooting it like Curry does.
But be warned. Curry makes it look easy. It
isnt.
Over the past five years, 3-point percentage
has remained basically steady in Division I,
rising only 0.3 percentage points to 35.2,
according to STATS.
Look at the Tar Heels. They have future
NBAers galore. But on Saturday, they went 4
for 17 on 3s and, quite the opposite of some of
the shots Curry takes, they were toeing the
line and getting open looks. Theyve won all
season with solid defense and an offense that
gets things done in the middle and is nowhere
near dependent on 3-point shots falling.
Im sure a lot of people patterned their game
after Michael (Jordan) but they didnt turn into
Michael, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said of
his old teammate. I hope all the young play-

Syracuse.
When the ball goes in, Texas coach Shaka
Smart said, its definitely more entertaining.
Earlier in the tournament, Villanovas Kris
Jenkins made one from the edge of the Texas
panhandle on the half-court logo. Forward
Daniel Ochefu saw it go in, and glanced over at
teammate Darryl Reynolds.
We both got eye contact, like, Wow! That
was Steph range, Ochefu said.
Those sorts of shots flew and fell at an outrageous clip over the last month. There was Paul
Jespersons half-court buzzer beater for
Northern Iowa; the 70-footer by UConns
Jalen Adams in the American Athletic
Conference tournament; anything Buddy Hield
did before Oklahomas meltdown against
Nova.
Bronson Koening summed up his own longrange game-winner for Wisconsin on the first
weekend this way: I just tried to channel my
inner Steph Curry.
But its not only this lightning-quick, 6foot-3 guards ability to make outrageous 3s
thats changing things.
Now, we see all the point guards on the
baseline doing what Steph does with the two-

pulling up from 35 feet off the dribble because
well probably be rebounding the ball and
going the other way.
To prevent this, some coaches stay on a
Curry-watch of sorts. Theyre used to designing intricate offenses and dictating most possessions from the bench. They are wary of
abandoning old-school Xs and Os in favor of
the 30-foot jump shot.
All this tilt toward the outside isnt new.
Things have been trending that way since the
1980s, when the 3-pointer was introduced and
made this a game that, more and more, is won
from the outside. Curry is taking things to the
next level most notably by making the
actual 3-point arc more a suggestion than a
line in the sand.
You look at all the people studying these
analytics and trying to figure out what the
most efficient shot is, Smart said. And if you
have good shooters, people want to get as
many good looks as they can from outside.
Good for the game? Miller certainly thinks
so. Of course he does.
Young kids are watching this, saying, I
dont have to be 6-8, 6-9, 6-10, I dont have to
be able to jump over the moon to be successful
at this game, he said. If I do the little things,
if Im fundamentally sound, if I pass well, if I
can shoot, I can be successful.

History
Villanovas only national championship
was one of the most famous upsets in the history of not just the NCAA Tournament, but in
all of American sports. The 1985 Wildcats
upset Patrick Ewing and Georgetown in the
final with a near perfect performance.
Wildcats coach Rollie Massimino, 81, told
USA Today Sports that he planned to attend
Monday nights game. He lives in Florida.
North Carolina coach Roy Williams can
make history by becoming the sixth coach
with at least three NCAA titles. He would
match Bobby Knight and Jim Calhoun with
three, and surpass his mentor and former North
Carolina coach, the late Dean Smith.

Tuck was a big reason why UConn was
able to build its big lead. Oregon State

UConn jumped out to a 15-6 advantage.
UConn led 32-24 after Jamie Weisner

Then the Huskies took over.
About the only negative for UConn
was that freshman Katie Lou Samuelson

practice Saturday because she was feeling under the weather. She started on

half-game behind fifth-place Memphis
in the Western Conference standings.
The game featured an old-fashioned
duel between two of the leagues best
scorers in Curry and Lillard. During one
stretch of 2:17 in the third quarter, Curry
scored on five straight trips down the

floor, making four of his nine 3-pointers

in the span. Not to be outdone, Lillard
also scored five baskets during the run,
including a pair of 3-pointers.
But then Lillard went to the bench for a
rest and Leandro Barbosa hitting two late

The Blazers hit 14 of their first 19

quarter to make the Golden State with
1,000 made 3s in a season. The Warriors
led 63-56 at the break.

Russian wins world title

with record in free skate
By Rachel Cohen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON Sixteen-year-old Evgenia Medvedeva started

giggling when she learned her free skate score at the world
championships had set a record. Then she summed it up in
English: Wow.
The Russian teen capped a dominant debut season Saturday
with a world title, earning 150.10 points to break Yuna Kims
record from the 2010 Olympics.
Medvedeva moved up from third after the
short program to add to her Grand Prix Final
and European titles.
American Ashley Wagner skated last and
sent the home crowd into a frenzy with a
personal-best score that moved her from
fourth to second, the first U.S. woman in a
decade to win a medal at worlds. Another
Russian teen, Anna Pogorilaya, took
Evgenia
bronze.
Medvedeva
American Gracie Gold, who led after the
short program, fell on her opening triple-triple combination
to drop to fourth.
Medvedeva finished with a total of 223.86 points, following
in the footsteps of Adelina Sotnikova, who won the Olympic
gold medal at age 17 in 2014, and Elizaveta Tuktamysheva,
who won last years world title at 18.
No American woman had finished on the podium at worlds
since Kimmie Meissner took gold and Sasha Cohen bronze in
2006. Even with Golds mistakes, her score guaranteed that the
drought would end it was just a question of whether it would
be Gold or Wagner.
Wagner had the crowd shrieking from the moment she landed
her triple flip-triple toe loop combination, and the powerhouse program to the Moulin Rouge soundtrack earned her a
big score for choreography and expression despite two underrotated jumps. She received 142.23 points for 215.39 total.
I have so many people that for so many parts of my career say
this has been given to me; I dont deserve this, Wagner said.

Amtrak train hits equipment on track; 2 workers die

cial confirmed that one was the
operator of the equipment. U.S.
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said
Amtrak board Chairman Anthony
Coscia told him the other person
killed was a supervisor and both
were Amtrak employees.
The Delaware County medical
examiners office said no information would be released until after
autopsies Monday.
NTSB investigator Ryan Frigo
said at an evening news conference that the event data recorder
and forward-facing and inward-facing video from the locomotive
have been recovered.
He said the locomotive engineer
was among those taken to hospitals. Officials said earlier that
none of the injuries was deemed
life-threatening.
Schumer said its unclear

whether the equipment was being

used for regular maintenance,
which usually is scheduled on
Sunday mornings because there
are fewer trains on the tracks, or
whether it was clearing debris
from high winds in the area
overnight. But he said Amtrak has
a 20-step protocol for having
such equipment, described by
Amtrak as a backhoe, on the track,
and no trains are supposed to go
on a track when equipment is present.
Clearly this seems very likely
to be human error, Schumer said,
calling for Amtrak to review its
processes. There is virtually no
excuse for a backhoe to be on an
active track.
An Amtrak spokeswoman said
in an email to The Associated
Press that any information about

the type of equipment on the track

and why the train was using that
track would have to come from the
NTSB. She said any information
about the two people killed,
including what company they
worked for, would have to come
from the Delaware County medical
examiner.
The company was posting alerts
on its website, however, with
updates on its service.
Amtrak said service on the
Northeast Corridor between New
York and Philadelphia began operating after an earlier suspension
and limited service was restored
between Wilmington, Delaware,
and Philadelphia by Sunday afternoon.
Amtrak said Sunday night that it
will operate regularly scheduled
trains Monday, although there

may be some delays on Acela

Express, Northeast Regional and
other
services
between
Philadelphia and Wilmington,
Delaware.
Frigo said he did not know why
the equipment was on a track the
train was using. He said scheduling, the track structure and the
work that was being performed at
the time of the accident would be
part of the investigation. The
event data recorder has been sent
to the safety boards laboratory in
Washington and will answer such
questions as how fast the train was
going at the time of the crash, he
said.
Ari Neeman, a disability rights
activist heading to Washington
after speaking at an event in New
York, said he was in the second car
at the time of the crash.

residential construction.
He noted the struggle of city
officials interested in building
more housing to accomplish their
goal due to the loss of redevelopment funds, and said more
progress could be made if access
was again granted to the potentially robust revenue source.
Work needs to be done with
state legislators to let local communities control their own funds,
he said. That will allow cities to
ease the housing shortage.
Somers too decried the dearth of
available housing along the
Peninsula.
Our inventory is pathetic, he
said.
For his part, Somers indicated
he did not believe there is a clear
path to resolving mismatch
between demand for property, and
existing homes.
We cannot build enough houses
because we dont have enough
places to put them, he said. And
it wont change until Silicon
Valley falls on hard times.
Not one to speculate on the sustainability of the economic boom,
Somers suggested interest rate

adjustments could cause the market

to slow from the breakneck pace it
has been speeding at since the
Great Recession.
Though Verdone also remained
confident in the health of the market, he has noticed hints of instability, especially in areas typically featuring more expensive
homes.
People are a little more judicious on the higher price points,
he said.
Gillooley agreed, and said he
has seen less sales activities in
homes listed north of $2 million.
He cited recent glitches in the
stock market and some prevailing
uncertainty regarding the health of
international economy as a potential source of reluctance among
some buyers.
Apprehension regarding some
venture capital firms potentially
restricting their spending in the
online startup market may also
have a trickle-down effect on cooling the local real estate industry,
said Gillooley.

Francisco took an uncharacteristic

dip from $1.1 million January to
$990,000 in February, according
to Zillow.com, which Gillooley
said could also be interpreted as a
bellwether for the housing market
on the Peninsula.
If the young techies are not
buying up there, its a ripple effect
down here, he said.
Ultimately though, Gillooley
said the core of the countys market remains strong, as traditionally appealing homes are still selling quickly for the high prices
that have defined the local real
estate industry for the past few
years.
The right house on the right
street will still sell well and get a
good price, he said.
Somers agreed, and said though
some market softening may be
occurring on the fringes, little reason exists to believe a substantial
shift is on the horizon.
I dont see anything threatening our market to cause it to crash
or even take a drastic downturn,
he said.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHESTER, Pa. An Amtrak

train struck a piece of heavy equipment just south of Philadelphia on
Sunday, causing a derailment that
killed two Amtrak workers and
sent more than 30 passengers to
hospitals, authorities said.
Train 89 was heading from New
York to Savannah, Georgia, at
about 8 a.m. when it hit the equipment that was on the track in
Chester, about 15 miles outside
Philadelphia, officials said. The
impact derailed the lead engine of
the train that was carrying more
than 300 passengers and seven
crew members.
Chester Fire Commissioner
Travis Thomas said two people
were
killed.
A
National
Transportation Safety Board offi-

Realtor Jim Somers, of Sequoia

Realty Services, expressed a similar sentiment, and agreed buyers
are showing an inclination to be
less aggressive in snapping up
every piece of available property.
But Somers noted prices are
staying sky high, and good homes
are still getting bought as quickly
as they are listed, traits indicative
of a healthy market.
The really good houses they
are on fire, he said. The houses
that kind of fall in the middle
ground might stay on the market a
little longer.
Some buyers remain so ambitious to purchase property,
Somers said he is receiving bids
on homes which are yet to be listed.
Its an unbelievable market,
he said.
Though county median sales
prices in February matched levels

Michael Verdone, regional director for SAMCAR, noted though

the market typically cools during
the winter months, and heats back
up again with the weather in the
summer.
Verdone said he expects the general success of the market to persist as it has over the past few
years, as the job market across the
Peninsula grows and demand to
live locally continues to outweigh
the available housing stock.
I dont see much of a difference, he said. Average prices are
in the million dollar range, and
with all the jobs weve created,
especially on the mid-Peninsula,
there is continued demand for that
price point.
As job growth rate exceeds
development of new homes
throughout the area, Verdone advocated for lawmakers to establish
policies which encourage more

The Board of Commissioners got a
glimpse of McGraths first budget and
project list at its March 16 meeting.
McGrath has only been on the job for
about six months and is preparing his
first budget for the district that commissioners will vote on in June. He is
also forecasting revenue and expenses
for the next three years with an eye on
spending $2.1 million to improve the
Johnson Pier at Pillar Point.
The board is tasked with tweaking
the project list up until then.
He also proposes to pay off about $5
million in debt now using the
reserves.

BAKER
Continued from page 1
Francisco.
After nearly seven years leading the
district, Baker has allowed his diverse
prior background as a teacher, principal, administrator, school board member and executive director at various
community education programs to
inform his innovative leadership
style.
Operating under the assumption that
public education is in the midst of a
transition from an antiquated model
used to serve a previous generation to
an updated version more befitting of a
modern society, Baker said he strives
to embrace creative approaches to
teaching and learning.
This is the big shift moment, he
said, of the current education environment. It is an exciting and challenging time.
One who claims to thrive on change,
Baker said he appreciates the opportunities presented by an evolving environment moving from isolated teaching and learning in the classroom for a
very specific portion of the day, to a
new era which embraces education at
every turn, even when students are not
in school.
School was previously designed to
delineate between workers and learners, said Baker, different from the mod-

The district took out about $20 million in loans from the California
Division of Boating and Waterways
dating back to 1997 to make improvements to both Oyster Point and Pillar
Point.
That loan has now been reduced to
about $5 million and McGrath is proposing to pay it off now, depending on
board support. The annual payment to
pay down the loan is about $1.7 million but paying it off now will save the
district a total of about $500,000 in
interest and still leave with district
with nearly $12 million in reserves,
McGrath said.
The district is expected to end this
fiscal year with an additional $2.3 million that could go into reserve.
McGrath expects the district to raise
about $10.1 million in revenue next
year, about $5.9 million coming from
property tax revenue and the remainder

from generating income from berth

rentals, $2.7 million, and rents and
concessions at $780,000 among other
sources of income.
Expenses are expected to be about
$7.7 million.
McGrath is also preparing a new
budget format for commissioners to
see exactly how taxpayer money is
being utilized compared to the money
the district generates itself.
This has been the recommendation
of both the San Mateo County Civil
Grand Jury and the Local Agency
Formation Commission, which recommended last year that the Harbor
District be dissolved and run by another agency such as the county.
Its up to the board to decide whether
to maintain the reserve, pay off the
debt and spend more on capital projects, McGrath said.

Middlefield, according to a report by

Christopher Beth, Redwood Citys
Parks, Recreation and Community
Services director.
Collectively, these parcels are being
referred to as Middlefield Junction for
planning purposes. In addition to the
current uses of community center,
library, Human
Services Agency, and health center,

the Middlefield Junction area provides

an opportunity for the development of
much-needed affordable housing units
and park space, according to Beths
report.
The Fair Oaks Community Center
provides a number of other services
such as information and referral programs, housing, food, employment,
legal and other service support.

ern model which assumes all students

are capable of achievement, so long as
they are provided a chance to succeed.
Baker, 58, said he is interested in
implementing flexible ways of
instruction which grants students the
chance to learn at their own pace, in a
fashion that blends best with a set of
unique learning interests.
Suggesting adjustments to middle
school class schedules and searching
for the appropriate amount of homework, assigned in a fashion that resonates best with the learning demands
of each student, are among the most
pressing challenges Baker said he
faces in implementing a new age of
education in San Carlos.
But as the focus on individualized
learning opportunities takes hold,
Baker said he relies heavily on district
staff and an involved parent community to support applying policies which
may be unfamiliar to some.
By working in partnership, we are
going at this together, said Baker, of
implementing innovative policies at
the district.
Kathleen Farley, president of the
San Carlos Elementary School District
Board of Trustees, lauded Bakers leadership style, and said he earned the
recent recognition he received.
Dr. Bakers vision and leadership
have made this community something
truly special, she said, in a prepared
statement. We are excited that he is
receiving this well deserved recognition by this prominent state organiza-

tion.
While constantly applying pressure
to push the envelope forward, Baker
said he will occasionally face resistance from the community, which will
cause all parties to reconsider their
position in a collaborative effort to
offer the best, most appropriate education for San Carlos students.
He said the input he receives from
parents is integral in ensuring his
vision identifies with what parents
wants for their students.
I welcome an engaged community,
he said.
The goal of applying creative curriculum and policies is to build students who have an advanced set of
skills preparing them to resolve real
world issues as they continue through
education, into college and eventually
the workforce, said Baker.
Hopefully, Baker said, as students
are offered greater opportunities to
take initiative in shaping their education, greater focus will be brought to
the full development of a childs
social, emotional and physical wellbeing.
Though academic achievement will
always remain a priority through the
shifting educational landscape, Baker
said an eye is still kept to ensure district students are growing in a healthy
fashion.
It is equally, if not more, important
to build good stewards of the environment, he said.
