Honor camp may become park

Minimum security jail site near La Honda no longer a necessity
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

About 200 acres of land near La

Honda that once served as a minimum security jail for adults may
become park land, county Parks
Director Marlene Finley said.

The honor camp, at 7546 Alpine

Road, was shuttered in 2003 and
Sheriff Greg Munks recently mentioned the possibility of turning
over the property for park use.
It is entirely surrounded by
Pescadero Creek Park, Finley said,
and would be a great addition to

the countys parks system.

The property, with a creek running through it among redwood
trees, would open up to more recreational opportunities if it is repurposed as a park, Finley said.
Existing trails nearby could be
expanded into the honor camp

property and be available for back

country hiking and camping as
well, she said.
The Sheriffs Office has kept
control of the property in case it
was needed leading up to the opening of the new Maple Street
Correctional Center in Redwood

City, Supervisor Dave Pine said.

Pine became interested in turning over the land to parks after
first visiting it.

with the areas skyrocketing rents. Here they look at a photo album with memories from the home.

After 42 years, family must move

By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A family renting the same San

Carlos home for the past 42 years
is being evicted and they fear they
will be forced to leave the county
due to the areas housing crisis.
The home they live in is being
sold because the owner died, Linda
Enos said.
The family pays $2,000 a month
for their two-bedroom home but
have failed to find anywhere to
rent in the area for the same
amount. They must vacate their
home by March 15 but so far have
nowhere to live.
According to San Mateo County

data, the average rent for a twobedroom apartment is now

$2,648, a 51 percent increase over
the past four years prompting the
Board of Supervisors to convene a
special study session March 17 to
address the housing crisis.
The county is also exploring
whether to pursue a rent stabilization ordinance.
Enos said the county needs to go
even further by following San
Franciscos lead in adopting rent
control laws. She blames greedy
landlords for pricing the middle
class out of the area.
Enos, 64, fears the eviction may
also put her job at risk if she is
forced to move out of the area and

commute to work.
If I leave my job, who really is
going to hire me? I dont want to
be on the road for three hours a
day, she said about the possibility of a long commute to work.
She also has an adult daughter
struggling to house her three children with a Section 8 voucher.
Enos and her husband Vic, a
retired bus driver, raised their two
children in the Northwood Drive
home. A few years ago, the eviction would have been more palatable for the family but todays
skyrocketing rents are out of
reach, she said.

With the Bay Areas economic

boom resonating across the
globe, a foreign investment firm
picked up a newly constructed San
Mateo apartment complex for
$73.6 million this week.
Mode Apartments, an 111-unit
multifamily complex on 2 acres at
2089 Pacific Blvd., was sold by
developer Wood Partners LLC to
Land and Houses USA Inc., a small
subsidiary of the Thailand-based,
publicly traded Land and Houses
Public Company Limited.
The new site comprised of two
three-story buildings housing a
mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom units and boasting a fitness

room, resident lounge, clubroom,

fire pits and more, was completed
late last year.
The luxury apartments rent for
an increasingly standard steep
range between $2,800 a month for
a less than 800-square-foot onebedroom unit and almost $5,000
per month for 1,500-square-foot
three-bedroom unit.
The purchase sets the average
apartment value at around
$663,000 per unit and, according
to San Mateos Finance Director
Dave Culver, the sale will extend
$368,000 in one-time property
transfer taxes to the city.

Jiaweis paintings of Chinese soldiers
during the Cultural Revolution were so
popular with Maos regime that
250,000 copies of his most famous
work were made into propaganda
posters and distributed throughout the

Four decades later, Shen now has a

of the Vatican. He painted the first
official portrait of Pope Francis and
recently completed a huge rendition of
the second most powerful man in

Vaticans money guy.
Shens journey from favored propaganda artist of the Peoples Liberation
Army to papal portraitist is an unusual
tale of talent and timing. Its a journey
that took Shen from China to
Australia, where he charged tourists
$30 a pop for portraits in Sydneys
Darling Harbour, and most recently to
a balcony in the Vatican gardens where
he sketched Pell.

praised it. Shen recalls, though, that
when he eventually saw it hanging in
the museum, he was stunned: The soldiers faces had been altered to adhere
to the regimes standards for revolutionary art: Their faces were fatter and
redder to make them appear more
healthy and heroic.
With the more robust soldiers in
place, the picture was reproduced and
turned into propaganda posters and
Shen shot to fame; in the 1970s and
80s, he was one of the best-known
artists in China.
Lots of our generation copied his
paintings, said fellow Chinese-born,
Australian artist Guo Jian, 53, who
also was a PLA propaganda artist but
later joined the pro-democracy student
protest movement that culminated
with the 1989 Tiananmen Square
crackdown.
When we grew up in that time, there
was nothing else but propaganda art,
Guo said. He has a really great skill,
and the way he painted, you can see
hes slightly different from the others.
I think thats what impacted us.
Today, Shen is proud of his work
not because it was good propaganda,
but because he managed to become an
artist in China at a time when oil
paints were otherwise nearly impossible to obtain. He says he didnt sell
out to the idealized standards of propaganda art that most other Chinese
artists copied.

an Bruno is at least 1,080 years

old. This age has just been
established for the oldest house
foundation yet found in San Bruno. The
foundations were found by a group of
anthropologists from San Francisco State
University who have been digging by the
banks of San Bruno Creek. A report on some
of their findings is in the La Peninsula,
the monthly publication edited by F.M.

Association.
This group was led by archeologist
Stanley Van Dyke and by Robert Schenk,
curators of the Teganza Anthropology
Museum of San Francisco State University.
In the 1960s, Schenk had appeared before
the San Bruno City Council and pleaded for
a delay in development of the land on the
western part of the Avansino Mortenson
Company flower growers on Sneath Lane
(across from the Golden Gate Cemetery) so
the group would have time to excavate the
ruins of an Indian village. He explained that
digging must be done carefully and slowly,
with each finding cautiously removed and
classified.
With the citys permission, they received
the delay needed from the Alpha Land Co.
which was moving in now to build its apartment complex on Cherry Avenue and Sneath
Lane. These apartments construction would

State offers $50M for college innovation

By Lisa Leff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Gov. Jerry

Brown has made a habit of criticizing Californias public colleges
and universities for what he sees
as a failure to adapt to the 21st
century. Now he is putting the
states money where his mouth is.
The governor has pledged $50
million to reward campuses with
creative
and
cost-effective
approaches to getting more students to earn degrees in less time.
A seven-member committee
chaired by Browns finance director is scheduled to name the winners of the California Awards for
Innovation in Higher Education
later this month.

Drought forcing up
Bay Area water rates
SAN JOSE Most San Francisco Bay
Area residents are facing steep price hikes
for water as Californias drought stretches
into its fourth year.
Three of the regions largest water agencies have either newly approved or will
soon consider rate hikes of nearly onethird, the San Jose Mercury News reported
Sunday.
Beau Goldie of the Santa Clara Valley
Water District told the newspaper that conservation efforts by San Francisco-area residents amid the drought already are costing
local water agencies tens of millions of dollars in revenue from water sales.
Water agencies say the drought also is
driving up their costs, in part by forcing
districts to pay more to buy water from an
underground water bank in Kern County.
Conservation programs to encourage Bay
Area residents to reduce lawn-watering and
otherwise save water also are costing the
agencies additional money.
We dont want to raise water rates,

statewide replication.
The one-time prize money,
which finance staff is recommending to award in increments of at
least $2.5 million, accounts for a
tiny fraction of the $14.5 billion
California is spending on higher
education this year. But Bob
Shireman, executive director of
the college advocacy group
California Competes, said it
nonetheless gives campuses an
incentive to adopt the kinds of
programs and policies that Brown
has been advocating.
Its pretty unusual for government to have this kind of prize
money out there, said Shireman,
a former deputy undersecretary in
the U.S. Department of Education.
The backdrop is the debate over
higher education funding in

drought.
The East Bay Municipal Utility District
and the San Francisco Public Utilities
District also face rate hikes.
The agencies serve 5.8 million people.
Thats 80 percent of the Bay Areas population.

Wanted: Better home for

zoos aging chimpanzees
SAN FRANCISCO Three chimpanzees
have joined the ranks of those seeking
affordable and better housing in San
Francisco.
The chimps are called Cobby, Minnie and
Maggie and live at the San Francisco Zoo.
At 57, Cobby is among the oldest in captivity anywhere.
Zoo director Tanya Peterson tells the San
Francisco Chronicle that the zoos accrediting body is urging San Francisco to move
the chimps to a different zoo that has more
chimps.
But Peterson says shes worried the older
chimp would have trouble adjusting to a new
group of primates. For now, Peterson is trying to raise $10 million to give the chimps
a whole new site at the 85-year-old San
Francisco Zoo.

California and the governors perspective that higher education

always wants more money and
isnt focused on how it can do
things more efficiently ... This is
his effort to try to point to that
issue and encourage a different
approach.
California Competes and five
other groups are hosting a forum
Monday in Sacramento where representatives from most of the campuses will have three minutes each
to present their ideas, lightning
round-style, to an audience of
business leaders, elected officials
and members of the committee
charged with judging the entries.
The initiatives under consideration cover a broad swath of college life, from more intensive
counseling early on to replacing

expensive textbooks with online

materials, and even targeting high
school students for advance outreach and preparation.
Shiremans organization asked
15 outside experts to review the
applications in advance. Ideas
that piqued their interest included a
partnership
between
San
Francisco City College and San
Francisco State to create small
learning communities that give
students more support during their
first two years of college and a
clear path to transferring; Fresno
State equipping students with
tablet computers for courses that
have been designed around the
devices; and UC Irvines effort to
persuade more students to take
courses online and during the summer.

Catalina Island fox recovers

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AVALON Tiny, pointy-eared foxes that

live on an island off the Southern California
coast are thriving again after being recovered from near extinction, but the species is
running into new problems.
Researchers say Catalina Island foxes are
making their way out of the wild interior and
into the city of Avalon, where they are
increasingly found trapped inside trash
bins, hit by cars and stuck in uncovered
water containers.
Attacks by pet dogs and rat poison also
have proven to be problems for the fivepound foxes, Julie King, the islands conservation and wildlife management director,
told the Daily Breeze newspaper for a story
published Sunday.
Canine distemper virus decimated the fox

population in 1999, leaving only about

100 of the animals. King and other biologists began a recovery program that included captive breeding and vaccination. By last
year, an estimated 1,700 foxes were on the
island.
Now King has embarked on an outreach
effort to educate the islands human residents and visitors on how to coexist with
the animals without killing them.
The Catalina Island Conservancy is raising money to buy 150 animal-proof trash
and recycling containers that cost $2,000
each.
The unhappy consequence of having a
recovered population is that theyre moving
into areas around Avalon where people
havent seen foxes in their backyards for 15
years. Theyve become less diligent with
trash practices, King said.

Ferguson report resonates across U.S.

By Gene Johnson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEATTLE Felix Vargas read

the Justice Departments report on
Ferguson, Missouri, and thought
some of it sounded awfully familiar: a mostly white police department overseeing a mostly minority town; questionable uses of
force; officers ill-equipped to deal
with mentally ill residents.
Theyre the same issues his
heavily Hispanic community, the
agricultural Washington city of
Pasco, has confronted since the
fatal police shooting of an immigrant farmworker last month.
We know Pasco is only the
most recent area where this has
happened, said Vargas, chairman
of a local Hispanic business
organization called Consejo
Latino. We have a national problem. We continue to struggle with
this issue of policing.

Ferguson has
become
an
emblem of the
t e n s i o n s
b e t w e e n
minorities and
police departments nationwide
since
Michael Brown Darren Wilson,
a white officer,
shot and killed Michael Brown, an
unarmed black 18-year-old, last
summer. The Justice Department
cleared Wilson of criminal wrongdoing, but in its report last week,
it made numerous allegations
against the citys police department that included racial disparities in arrests, bigotry and profitdriven law enforcement essentially using the black community
as a piggy bank to support the
citys budget through fines.
Though the report centered on
Ferguson, its findings have res-

onated beyond the St. Louis suburbs as residents in some communities across the country say they
feel they face the same struggles
with their police departments and
city leadership.
President
Barack
Obama
addressed the issue Friday on the
eve of the 50th anniversary of
Bloody Sunday when police
beat scores of people at a civil
rights march in Selma, Alabama.
While not typical, the issues
raised in the Ferguson report also
were not isolated, he said.
On Saturday, protesters took to
the
streets
in
Madison,
Wisconsin, after the fatal shooting of an unarmed black 19-yearold by a white police officer,
chanting Black Lives Matter.
Authorities said the police officer
fired his weapon after he was
assaulted. The officer was placed
on administrative leave pending
results of an investigation by an

outside state agency.

These communities are vulnerable because they dont believe
the law is there to protect them,
said Kevin Jones, a black, 36year-old Iraq war veteran who lives
in Saginaw, Michigan, a once predominantly white city thats now
about half black. He recalled being
pulled over and arrested in 2011
for having his music too loud in
the wrong part of town. The noise
complaint was dropped when an
officer failed to show for his hearing, but Jones said he still had to
pay to get his car back.
Saginaws police force, which is
three-quarters white, came under
scrutiny after officers killed a
homeless, mentally ill, black man
in 2012 when he refused to drop a
knife. The American Civil
Liberties Union of Michigan has
called for the Justice Department
to conduct a review of the departments practices. The city mean-

Duo completes 1st winter hike

on PCT from Canada to Mexico
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAMPO, Calif. Moments after

finishing a historic wintertime trek of
the Pacific Crest Trail, Justin Lichter
reassured bystanders the pale, desquamated look of his rain-soaked hands
was totally normal.
The difference between what looks
like a serious problem to the average
backpacker and what Lichter and hiking partner Shawn Forry were able to
laugh off as an afterthought demonstrates the significance of their most
recent accomplishment a 2,650-mle
trek from Canada to the Mexican border.
By completing whats thought to be
the first wintertime through-hike of
the iconic trail Lichter and Forry broke
a huge American hiking barrier and

raised the bar for whats possible when

it comes to adventure.
It is like anything else, if you
watch a champion ice skater they make
it look easy, said Pea Girl Scout
Hicks, who was among the hiking
fanatics who waited in the rain to meet
Lichter and Forry at the southern terminus of the trail. These guys make it
look easy. It is not.
Among the many reasons the accomplishment is impressive is the fact
Lichter, who has the trail name
Trauma and Forry, whose trail name
is Pepper, broke a barrier so many
have thought about and discussed but
very few have even attempted.
While the Pacific Crest Trail runs
within a relatively easy drive of several major cities, has been the subject of
an Oscar-nominated film as recently as

last year, and sees several hundred

through-hikers annually, completing
the trail in winter has long been considered a near impossibility.
Before they did this doing the PCT
in winter was kind of the great
unknown, said Elizabeth Snorkel
Thomas, who in 2011 set a womens,
unsupported speed record for throughhiking the Appalachian Trail. It was
one of the last things on the hiking
frontier.
The barrier remained in place so long
in part because of winter conditions.
From north-to-south, the direction
Lichter and Forry hiked, the trail passes through the Cascade and Sierra
Nevada ranges before descending into
the Mojave desert then heading back
up into the San Gabriel, San
Bernardino and San Jacinto ranges.

Inmate videos
aim to reduce
sexual assaults
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MINEOLA, N.Y. On his first day in a Michigan prison

for robbing a photo store with a toy gun, 17-year-old T.J.
Parsell was dragged into an empty cell and gang-raped.
Now the 54-year-old activist and filmmaker has created
videos instructing newcomers to New York state prisons on
how to protect themselves from sexual assault.
Similar videos have been produced since the passage of
the 2003 Prison Rape Elimination Act, but Parsell says his
are the first to look at the issue from the prisoners perspective, with actual prisoners talking about how to prevent such attacks.
Ive always thought that if the men somehow take this
issue on themselves and declare its not going to happen,
then it isnt going to happen, said Parsell, a film student
at New York University who has spent much of his life since
the attack working to prevent it from happening to others.
Inmates are more apt to listen to other inmates than they
are to staff, he said. The primary intention with this
video is to start influencing the culture within the prison.

Failure to launch not a concern in 2016

By Nancy Benac
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Most U.S.

presidential candidates really
dont want to spend nearly two
years bowing and scraping to voters and campaign donors.
Most voters sure dont want to
hear about the presidential race for
anywhere near that long.
Why, then, does it take so
loooong to pick a U.S. president?
Blame American-style democracy?
Blame the pollsters and consultants who feed off the horse race.
Blame the unquenchable thirst for
campaign cash. If youre a candidate, blame other candidates for
forcing you to get going so early.
Whatever the reason, 20 months
out from the November 2016 presidential election, no fewer than
two dozen potential candidates are
maneuvering to run and theyre
already elbowing one another for
advantage. Candidates are hiring

staff, donors are taking sides,

party operatives are digging up
dirt on potential opponents and
activist groups are holding straw
polls of dubious value.
Contrast that with the rest of the
world.
Israelis will spend about four
months picking their next prime
minister. In India, the formal campaign season for national elections was even shorter last year.
In Canada, federal elections typically last about five weeks,
although political positioning
starts earlier.
A l o o k at why thi s ex erci s e
i n demo cracy i s s o drawn o ut
i n the U. S. :
American presidents serve for a
set four-year term. Future contenders start planning for the next
election years in advance, with no
limits on what they can spend in
the primaries and often no limits
in the general election. Thats different from many parliamentary

democracies, in which elections

may be called without much notice
and where there are limits on paid
advertising and spending.
The U.S. system is particularly
complex. Candidates compete in a
maze of state caucuses and primaries to get their partys nominations, then orchestrate summer
party nominating conventions
before competing head-to-head in
the fall general election.
Its a hard thing to figure out,
and its not something you do
quickly, says Tom Rath, a GOP
activist in New Hampshire, the
first primary state on the political
calendar.
Any hope of dominating in the
primaries requires months of
advance work to lock up supporters in the states. That requires
even earlier work to attract key
staff and raise the money needed
for a strong campaign. This period
sometimes is called the invisible
primary.

Feinstein urges Clinton to

explain her email actions
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Former Secretary of

State Hillary Rodham Clinton should fully
explain her actions involving the use of a
private, nongovernment email account
when she was the countrys top diplomat,
California Sen. Dianne Feinstein said on
Sunday, becoming the first major Democrat
to urge Clinton to share more details of the
private account.
Feinstein said the former first lady needs
to step up and come out and say exactly what

INMATES
Continued from page 6
The U.S. Department of Justice says at
least 216,000 prisoners across the country
were raped or sexually abused behind bars in
2011, and it cautions that the number is
likely low because prison rapes are seldom
reported.
Parsell made two videos, one for men and
one for women. They are expected to be
shown in New York state prisons as part of
new inmate orientation once the state
obtains final approval from the Justice
Department, which financed the project as
part of its PREA initiative. Because
approval is pending, neither spokespeople
for the state prisons nor the Justice
Department would comment. It is not clear
when, or if, the videos will be released.
But that doesnt mean they havent
already been seen.
After being posted online last month by
The Marshall Project, a nonprofit journalism group, they have been viewed nearly
300,000 times. Another website that posted

the video claimed over 460,000 hits.
A key message of Parsells videos is that
the era of prisoners ganging up and sexually assaulting other prisoners is largely a
thing of the past, replaced by more subtle
grooming of inmates with gifts and
favors. The inmates advise newcomers to
keep to themselves and not accept unsolicited gifts from inmates who appear too
friendly; they also emphasize prison rape is
not inevitable.
Lay low; stay out of trouble. Youll be
fine, one longtime inmate advises.
The videos also advise to report misconduct whenever it occurs. Inmates in both of
Parsells videos emphasize: Its not snitching when it comes to sexual safety.
Jan Lastocy, who was raped by a staff
member at a prison in Michigan while serving 18 months for attempted embezzlement
in 1998, said many inmates would rather
not speak up and so statistics on prison sex
assaults must be viewed skeptically.
Lastocy, a board member of Los Angelesbased anti-rape group Just Detention
International, said she told no one about her
ordeal being raped several times a week
for at least six months until many years
later.

Campaigns last so long

because we have something called
the First Amendment, which
means that you cant do what other
democracies do, which is to say
the campaign will only last for
five weeks, or that you cant campaign except in the last five weeks
and you cant advertise, says former Massachusetts Gov. Michael
Dukakis, the Democratic nominee
in 1988. If someone wants to
start in Iowa six years ahead of
time, you cant stop them.
It used to be that pollsters and
consultants went all-out during
campaigns, then took off to do
other things during a period of
governing before the next election season, says Norman
Ornstein of the American
Enterprise Institute, a longtime
observer of politics and author of
The Permanent Campaign and Its
Future.
But starting in the 1980s and
into the 1990s, he says, the poll-

sters and the campaign consultants werent melting away. They

were sticking around.
The end of one election is quickly
followed by planning for the next.
The midterm congressional elections are seen as an informal kickoff
for the presidential race. Its kind of
a symbiotic relationship involving
consultants, pollsters and candidates eager to get out ahead of everybody else, says Ornstein.
As the cost of campaigns goes
up, the quest for campaign cash
and the desire to impress outside
groups flush with their own
money starts earlier and earlier.
The private Center for Responsive
Politics estimates that candidates,
parties and independent interest
groups put $2.6 billion into the
2012 presidential race and $2.8
billion into the 2008 race, when
there was no incumbent running.
Those numbers compare with $1.9
billion in 2004 and $1.4 billion
in 2000.

Missing planes beacon battery had expired

By Eileen Ng
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia

The first comprehensive report
into the disappearance of
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370
revealed Sunday that the battery of
the locator beacon for the planes
data recorder had expired more
than a year before the jet vanished
on March 8, 2014.
The report came as Australian
Prime Minister Tony Abbott said
the hunt for the plane would not
end even if the scouring of the current search area off Australias
west coast comes up empty.

Apart from the anomaly of the

expired battery, the detailed report
devoted pages after pages describing the complete normality of the
flight, which disappeared while
heading from Kuala Lumpur to
Beijing, setting off aviations
biggest mystery.
Families of the 239 people who
were on board the plane marked
the anniversary of the Boeing
777s disappearance, vowing to
never give up on the desperate
search for wreckage and answers to
what happened to their loved
ones.
Despite an exhaustive search for
the plane, no trace of it has been

found. In late January, Malaysias

government formally declared the
incident an accident and said all
those on board were presumed
dead.
The significance of the expired
battery in the beacon of the planes
flight data recorder was not immediately apparent, except indicating
that searchers would have had lesser
chance of locating the aircraft in
the Indian Ocean, where it is
believed to have crashed, even if
they were in its vicinity. However,
the report said the battery in the
locator beacon of the cockpit voice
recorder was working.

two in Nemtsov killing
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MOSCOW Five men were behind bars

Sunday either charged or suspected in the
killing of Kremlin critic Boris Nemtsov, but
details remained unclear in the case that has
shaken Russias marginalized and struggling opposition movement.
The five appeared in a Moscow court,
where two of them were charged in connection with the shooting of Nemtsov as he
walked across a bridge near the Kremlin on
Feb. 27. The other three were remanded to
jail pending the filing of charges, which
Russian law says must be done within 10
days.
Russian news reports meanwhile cited
unnamed sources as saying another suspect
had killed himself with a grenade after
police blocked his apartment on Saturday in
Grozny, the capital of the republic of

Chechnya. There was no official comment

from Moscow on the reports, but Chechen
President Ramzan Kadyrov appeared to partially confirm it Sunday.
One of the judges in the two separate hearings said suspect Zaur Dadaev had acknowledged involvement, but Dadaev did not
admit guilt in the courtroom, according to
state-run and independent news agencies in
Russia. The other suspect who was charged,
Anzor Gubashev, denied guilt.
The three others include Gubashevs
younger brother Shagid, along with
Khamzad
Bakhaev
and
Tamerlan
Eskerkhanov, Tass reported.
All five are from Chechnya or other parts
of the restive North Caucasus, according to
news agencies. Their origin raises a potentially sensitive issue, given the significant
animosity for Caucasus groups among ethnic Russians.

Even though the beacons battery had expired, the instrument

be a teacher, and Ive always wanted to teach

first-grade, and thats because of Ms.
Murphy.
Franklin Elementary School Principal
Lisa Booth said the school community
misses the presence of Murphy, who many
affectionately referred to as Mickey, but her
legacy is maintained by the presence of
Carney.
Booth said Murphy made a positive
imprint not just on students like Carney, but
also on colleagues.
When she was a fledgling principal,
Booth said after especially hard days, it was
Murphy who would often impart words of
wisdom that encouraged the young administrator to carry on.
She would tell me youre going to get
through this, its going to be OK, and she
inspired me to stay, said Booth.
That conversation was 15 years ago, and
through Murphys encouragement, Booth
was inspired to persevere, like so many
other members in the Franklin community.
Murphy said she enjoys staying in touch
with her former coworkers, who all give
glowing reviews of Carney.
My colleagues told me they walk by the
classroom, and they think I am in there,
Murphy said.
She said she left all her teaching materials
in their place at the classroom, and from
them, students today are enjoying the same
lessons that Carney did when she was a firstgrader.

Murphy said it is encouraging to know

that her legacy lives on in her absence.
It feels so good. It was hard to retire, but
I knew I couldnt do it. Im glad she is there
following the tradition, she said.
Carney said it is not just the students who
are still being educated by Murphys lessons.
I feel like Im learning from her by what
shes left for me here, said Carney. Im
using a lot of her old stuff, doing a lot of the
same projects she used to do when she was
here.
Maggie
MacIsaac,
Burlingame
Elementary School District superintendent,
noted in an email the integral role Murphy
played during her 22 years in the district.
Known as the Franklin ambassador by
the staff, Mickey made everyone feel special
the teachers, parents, students, substitutes, and even visitors on campus she
greeted all with a friendly handshake and
welcome to the school, MacIsaac said.
Alumni and students return to campus and
always want to visit Ms. Murphy as she
made a difference in the lives of so many.
MacIsaac honored Murphy, along with
recognition from U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier,
D-San Mateo, and Assemblyman Kevin
Mullin, D-South San Francisco, at a Board
of Trustees meeting last month for her years
of service to the district.
Murphy praised the district, and Franklin
Elementary community, for the support
shes received.
Its just an amazing environment,
Murphy said. From the superintendent, to
the children and the parents.

The Redwood City Planning
Commission dropped the ball last
Tuesday night by not insisting that
the oor area ratio (FAR), the ratio of
home square footage to lot size, be
part of the formula to control overdevelopment in Redwood Citys hillside
areas. Why did the commission not
take this step? Because FAR is currently not used in any other residential district in Redwood City.
Theres a simple solution to this:
introduce FAR into all single-family
residential districts in the city. The
problem with building McMansions
that most residents would consider
out of scale for their neighborhoods
is not conned to hillsides. FARs are
not draconian variance procedures
are already in place to grant exceptions for hardships and other special
circumstances. And FARs can be
adjusted to account for environmental
factors; for example, FARs should be
reduced as slopes increase to provide
for better management of runoff and
slope stability. FAR bonuses can also
be used to encourage accessory
dwellings to provide affordable housing options in certain areas. In short,
FAR is a simple, fair and objective
criterion to control overdevelopment
while encouraging affordable housing. It is used in many cities, and
Redwood City should get on board.
Kudos to Planning Commissioner
Janet Borgens for bucking the tide
and insisting on including FAR within hillside regulations. Redwood City
residents Ms. Borgens is running
for City Council this year. Remember
this in November.

Leaving homeowners
in the dark
Editor,
Regarding the March 5 story,
Monster homes feared in the hills:
Redwood City Planning Commission
OKs controversial measure for hillside proposal, homeowners seeking
to expand or remodel their own
homes want clear, measurable and predictable hillside regulations. They
want to know in advance whats
allowable in their areas and what
Redwood City staff is likely to
approve. Subjective hillside regulations, on the other hand, leave homeowners in the dark.
Without predictability, homeowners can face years of uncertainly and
waste money paying architects to
draw and redraw their plans.

Renter protections
Editor,
In the front page article County to
study rent control, San Mateo
County Association of Realtors and
the Tri-County California Apartment
Association representatives are quoted as referring to property owners
who increased their tenants rents to
spiraling levels as a few bad
apples. What are these representatives talking about? Why articulate
such a watered-down truth that only a
few are involved? More accurately,
there are a fewgoodapples among
property owners and their management companies who have not yet
increased residential rents to what is
alternately referred to as thefairmarket, the market, and what the
market can bear.
I commend the San Mateo County
Board of Supervisors for taking the
initiative to study rent stabilization
and for setting a leadership model for
the countys cities. If the apartment
and real estate associations had
proactively addressed their association members residential property
owners and management companies
and had been keeping their hand
on the pulse of fairmarket rental
rates these last several years (especially, the last two to three years),
there would not be such an outcry to
stabilize rents. Not until renters started speaking up due to extreme hardship and displacement, coupled with
rampant, across-the-board rental unit
pricing throughout the Peninsula (and
Bay Area), did we even begin to see
and hear from representatives for
property owners and rental associations at city meetings.
We have a rental situation that is
not only bad, it is dire for existing
and new tenants throughout the Bay
Area. Even the so-called few and far
between affordable housing units
reect rents only marginally lower
due to the articially high fair market rents against which below-market rates are set. Renters have no protections in the current climate, and
live under the threat of potential
increases every 60 days, minimal
maintenance and repair, and eviction.

Manhattanization
Editor,
Over the last several years a housing crisis has developed in the Bay
Area. It has been caused by the skyrocketing price of real estate. All
along the Peninsula rents have
almost doubled. One would be surprised to know of how many people I
meet that commute to work from as
far away as Sacramento. The cause of
this problem is the inux of hightech millionaires. The problem is
getting completely out of hand, as

these people spread out all over the

Bay Area, buying up all the available
real estate. These high-tech millionaires are generally in their 30s, and
they number in the thousands. Land
owners and property managers know
that they are out there, and are taking
full advantage of the situation. So
just as the motion picture industry
transformed Southern California into
the land of fame and fortune it is
today and also made it the most populated area of the United States, in the
same way the high-tech industry is
transforming Northern California
into a place of wealth and privilege
like Manhattan.
However in the nal analysis,
something has to be done to make
this Bay Area affordable for everyone
that wants to live here, because we
cannot afford to lose those who cannot afford to stay, and we also cannot
forget about our school teachers,
social workers, public safety workers,
civil servants and everyone else who
for some reason call this place home.

3,000 jobs coming to

Burlingame no additional
housing to be added
Editor,
As reported in article, Drive-in site
sold: Private equity rm will build
large, upscale ofce space at
Burlingame Point in the March 5,
2015, edition of the Daily Journal, a
new business park planned for
Burlingame will bring 3,000 new
jobs to the area. What was not mentioned is that no additional housing
is planned for these extra workers. I
ask all renters: how is your housing
security?
Every renter on the Peninsula is
now threatened with even higher
rents and displacement. Landlords are
already economically evicting average working people and seniors. The
pace will denitely pick up in the
next few months. We have no protections, and our local and state governments are doing nothing to stop this
runaway train.
Renters in every city need to unify
to get rent stabilization and Just
Cause Eviction protections. To not
join in this ght is to agree to be
forced from your home. In
Burlingame, we are working to put
rent stabilization on the ballot this
November. What are renters in your
city doing? This is a ght for survival, and not something thats just
happening to somebody else its
destabilizing all of our communities
which will lose essential workers in
this ever-growing job expansion, and
cause untold human misery.

Toasting
Jerry Hill
A

large crowd of friends, fans, and elected ofcials

turned out to toast state Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San
Mateo, at the League of Women Voters of Central
and North San Mateo County last month. The league was
also celebrating its 95th birthday.
Each of the speakers, including former assemblyman
Gene Mullin; county Supervisor Carole Groom; former
San Mateo mayor Claire Mack; San Bruno Mayor Jim
Ruane; Bill Schulte, chair of Sustainable San Mateo
County; Lennie Roberts,
Committee for Green
Foothills; and Assemblyman
Kevin Mullin, D-South San
Francisco, noted the following: Hill was passionate
about what he did; he was
brave to take on big corporations like PG&E; he seemed
to be at every meeting in his
district; he was well respected in Sacramento among fellow legislators; he was a
hard worker and effective legislator; he always had time
for his constituents; and he
had more energy than any reasonable person should have.
Kevin Mullin, who is decades younger than Hill, quipped
I want to take whatever hes taking.
***
Hill seemed genuinely touched by the tributes. He even
shed a few tears in recalling the eight San Bruno residents
who perished in the pipeline explosion. He told the audience that among the special items he displayed in his
Sacramento ofce was a plaque with the names of those
who died in the San Bruno re to remind me constantly
of why we continue to ght certain battles. He also
talked about how important it was to remember your roots
and where you came from. On his Sacramento desk sits a
framed photo of his grandfather who came from Italy
with nothing and made a good life for himself and family.
We are all immigrants.
***
Some of the notables attending the event were supervisors Don Horsley and Warren Slocum; former county
supervisors Rose Jacobs Gibson and Mary Grifn; county
Elections Chief Mark Church; San Mateo Councilman Joe
Goethals; former San Mateo councilwoman Jan Epstein;
Millbrae Councilwoman Anne Oliva; Belmont
Councilman Charles Stone; Colma Councilwoman Helen
Fisicaro; Michael Guingona and Judith Christensen, Daly
City councilmembers; former South San Francisco mayor
Pedro Gonzales; Brisbane Mayor Pro Tem Cliff Lentz; former Millbrae mayor Doris Morse; Linda Craig, chair of
the Local Agency Formation Commission; Maurice
Goodman, South San Francisco Unied School District
trustee; Ron Galatolo, chancellor of the San Mateo
County Community College District; and Cynthia Simms,
superintendent of the San Mateo-Foster City Elementary
School District.
***
Hill was born in San Francisco and attended Balboa
High School where he played football. He did a year at the
College of San Mateo before graduating from the
University of California at Berkeley. He received a teaching credential at San Francisco State University but decided to join his fathers swimming pool business which he
now owns and runs. He found his calling when he became
head of the San Mateo Park Homeowners Association and
helped lead the campaign to limit height limits in San
Mateo. He was elected to the San Mateo City Council in
1991, moved to the Board of Supervisors in 1998. In
2008, he was elected to the California Assembly and to
his present seat in the state Senate in 2012.
He will be termed out in 2020 when he could seek a seat
in Congress if Jackie Speier has other plans or even run
for a statewide post. Thats a long time off. In the meantime, we know Hill will be working hard on the behalf of
the citizens he represents.

Congratulations to Burlingame for the redesign of
Burlingame Avenue. It was well worth the inconvenience
during construction. Now the streets are wide, parking is
ush to the sidewalk, not on the diagonal, allowing for an
enjoyable walk for pedestrians and shoppers. The best
news for the city is that there is no shortage of people on
the street, shopping at the many chain stores and patronizing the many restaurants. We had an early lunch at
Copenhagens last Presidents Day holiday before taking
our guests to the airport. The cafe was full of people inside
and out and it seemed the entire city was strolling along
the new Burlingame Avenue on the especially sunny day.

Dollars can be a dirty word at border banks

By Elliot Spagat
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO The clamor to

crack down on laundering drug
money was loud in 2010 when
Wachovia National Bank was
found to have let $110 million
from Mexico be sent through its
accounts. It grew two years later
when HSBC Holdings PLC agreed
to pay $1.9 billion to settle violations that included letting hundreds of millions of dollars from
drug cartels flow through one of
the worlds largest banks.
Now there is growing sentiment
along the U.S.-Mexico border that
vigilance has gone overboard and
is hurting law-abiding businesses.
American banks, wary of the
potential for massive penalties,
have closed Mexican accounts or
saddled customers with new
restrictions.
The challenge is particularly
acute for Mexican companies
whose customers pay dollars. In
Mexico, banks refuse to take their
greenbacks even after the government lifted 4-year-old caps on
cash deposits of the U.S. currency
in September.
Roberto Castro, chief executive
of one of the largest Mexican
pharmacy chains on the U.S. border, compares the approach to
chemotherapy.
You kill the bad cells but you
also kill the good cells, said
Castro, whose father founded

John McCain

Farmacias
Modernas
de
Tijuana
SA,
known
as
Farmacias
Roma, in 1964.
They need to
be more targeted in
their
strategies
to
combat money

laundering.
Sens. Jeff Flake and John
McCain,
both
Arizona
Republicans, called for hearings
in February, saying security concerns should be balanced against
the need for access to banks in
border communities. Californias
Imperial Valley Press editorialized
that border banking may become
a niche operation, where choices
become very limited.
U. S. regulators are warning
banks against being indiscriminate. Two Treasury Department
agencies urged them in November
to avoid closing accounts of entire
categories of customers and recommended a case-by-case review.
We do not tell banks how to
conduct
their
business,
Comptroller of the Currency
Thomas Curry told bankers at a
conference on Monday. We certainly do not direct them to provide services to some customers
and not to others.
In Mexico, businesses cheered
when President Enrique Pena Nieto
scrapped $14,000 monthly caps

on dollar deposits in Mexican

banks, saying the anti-money
laundering measure hurt law-abiding companies. Relief turned to
dismay when businesses learned
banks didnt want their greenbacks anyway.
Mexican Sen. Marco Antonio
Blasquez said bank executives told
him they worry a surge in dollar
deposits would alarm U.S. regulators and banks with whom they
partner.
The Mexican banking system
is scared, Blasquez told about 200
business owners at Tijuana
Chamber of Commerce offices in
January.
Mexicans like Hugo Torres,
whose storied Rosarito Beach
Hotel is popular with Americans,
have had to be creative. In 2013,
Bank of America closed his
account in San Diego after 25
years without explanation. He
scatters dollars among Mexican
banks in small amounts.
We have something like 10
banks, he said. This has gone
overboard.
Major U. S. banks wont say
how many accounts they closed on
the border. JPMorgan Chase &
Co. says its U.S. branches shut
fewer than 5, 000 business
accounts of companies based outside the country with up to $20
million in annual sales since 2013
but wouldnt say how many were
based in Mexico.
Business chambers say they

fielded many complaints in the

last two years. I hear about it all
the time, but its all anecdotal,
said Richard Dayoub, president of
the Greater El Paso Chamber of
Commerce.
The
Mexican
Banks
Association, the countrys main
industry group, didnt respond to
requests for comment.
Roma found a workaround, but
Castro says it sacrificed millions
of dollars a year. The familyowned company, which doesnt
disclose revenue or profits, does
21 percent of sales in dollars,
largely in cash. American retirees
who live on Mexicos beachfront
and Southern Californians come
for medications that Castro says
are priced 40 percent lower than
U.S. pharmacies.
Roma no longer pays suppliers
and employees in dollars, as it did
when it opened its first store in
the Mexican city bordering San
Diego, but landlords still insist on
payment in U.S. currency.
Being from Tijuana, you grow
up thinking in dollars, Castro
says. I speak in dollars. If you
ask how much something weighs,
I answer in pounds. If you ask
about the weather, I answer in
Fahrenheit. We have the American
chip.
When Mexico limited dollar
deposits, Roma was among a cadre
of large companies that was able
to negotiate exemptions. But it
came with a price.

Romas pact with HSBCs

Mexican unit deeply cut into profits because the bank dictated less
favorable exchange rates on dollar-paying customers, Castro said.
Roma also had to limit individual
dollar sales to $250, upgrade computer systems and train employees
on reporting requirements.
HSBC ended exemptions for
Roma and other Mexican companies in December 2012, when it
got hit with the $1. 9 billion
money-laundering fine in the U.S.
Roma suddenly had nowhere to
put its dollars. Its U. S. bank,
which Castro asked not be named
to preserve its relationship,
agreed to take them but only for a
few months. Armored truck companies charging 5 percent commission shuttled loads of hundreds
of thousands of dollars to San
Diego, startling U. S. border
inspectors.
Roma found another Mexican
bank, Grupo Financiero Banorte
SA, to accept unlimited dollar
deposits under similar terms it
negotiated with HSBC. The agreement crimps profits, but Roma
feels it has no choice.
Last year, Romas U.S. bank
limited deposits to $20, 000 a
month, a pittance for a chain of 52
stores. For Castros father, also
Roberto, its as if the U.S. currency is poison.
Who wouldnt want dollars?
But it seems like they are being
treated like drugs, he said.

Some states fight to keep New concept in solar

their wood fires burning energy poised to
By David A. Lieb
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. Smoke

wafting from wood fires has long provided a familiar winter smell in many
parts of the country and, in some
cases, a foggy haze that has filled peoples lungs with fine particles that can
cause coughing and wheezing.
Citing health concerns, the
Environmental Protection Agency
now is pressing ahead with regulations
to significantly limit the pollution
from newly manufactured residential
wood heaters. But some of the states
with the most wood smoke are refusing
to go along, claiming that the EPAs
new rules could leave low-income residents in the cold.

Clear the air

Missouri and Michigan already have
barred their environmental agencies
from enforcing the EPA standards.
Similar measures recently passed
Virginias legislature and are pending
in at least three other states, even
though residents in some places say
the rules dont do enough to clear the
air.
Its been a harsh winter for many
people, particularly those in regions
repeatedly battered by snow. And the
EPAs new rules are stoking fears that
some residents wont be able to afford
new stoves when their older models
give out.
People have been burning wood
since the beginning of recorded time,
said Phillip Todd, 59, who uses a
wood-fired furnace to heat his home in
Holts Summit. Theyre trying to regulate it out of existence, I believe, and
they really have no concern about the
economic consequences or the hardship its going to cause.
Others contend the real hardship has
fallen on neighbors forced to breathe

the smoke from winter wood fires.

The EPA typically relies on states to
carry out its air quality standards. But
states may not be able to effectively
thwart the wood-burning rules, because
federal regulators could step in to do
the job if local officials dont.
If the EPA wants to come in here and
enforce it, come on in. (But) Im not
going to help them, said Michigan
state Sen. Tom Casperson, whose law
barring state enforcement of the EPA
regulations takes effect March 31.
About 10 percent of U.S. households
burn wood, and the number relying on
it as their primary heating source rose
by nearly a third from 2005 to 2012,
the latest year for which federal figures
were available.
The EPAs new rules, which are to be
phased in over five years, apply only
to new wood heaters and wont force
anyone to get rid of their older models.
The EPA estimates the restrictions
will reduce fine particle emissions
from wood heaters by nearly 70 percent. It says that will result in an average of one fewer premature death per
day and yield about $100 of public
health benefits for every $1 of additional cost to manufacturers.
The rules mark the first update since
1988 for indoor wood stoves, which
include both free-standing models and
ones that fit inside traditional fireplaces. The EPA also is imposing its
first-ever emission mandates on woodfired furnaces and outdoor boilers,
which use fire to heat water that is circulated through pipes to warm homes.
Nine states and dozens of communities already had required cleaner emissions for outdoor wood-fired boilers
before the EPA acted, according to the
Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association.
The states objecting to the EPAs
standards include some of the biggest
wood burners. Michigan ranked tops
nationally in fine particle emissions

from residential wood burning in

2011, the latest year covered by EPA
statistics. Missouri and Virginia both
ranked in the top 15. Bills to bar
enforcement of the EPA regulations
also are pending in Wisconsin and
Minnesota, which ranked second and
third, as well as in West Virginia.

Legal battles
Disputes over wood heaters have
sparked intense emotions and legal
battles among neighbors. In late
January, for example, an Indiana judge
rejected a request from Mable and Gary
Bowling for a preliminary injunction
forcing one of their Rush County
neighbors to stop using an outdoor
furnace. The Bowlings claimed the
smoke was unhealthy; the neighbors
claimed the Bowlings had harassed
them by repeatedly contacting police
or firefighters.
Mable Bowling contends the wood
smoke has worsened her asthma and
led to other respiratory problems.
What were breathing is slowly
killing us, Bowling, 61, said during a
telephone interview occasionally
interrupted by coughs.
The federal Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention says fine particle pollution from burnt wood can
get deep into peoples lungs, causing
breathing troubles.
But burning wood can be cheaper for
some rural residents than heating their
homes with propane, oil or electricity.
Many of the largest manufacturers
products meet the initial EPA requirements, but complying with the later
phased-in rules could be more challenging. Manufacturers say some
smaller companies may simply shut
down. Some critics of wood-fired
heaters believe the EPAs rules dont go
far enough. They note that in realworld use, the heaters often expel more
pollution than in laboratory tests.

catch on across U.S.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MINNEAPOLIS A new concept in renewable energy is

catching fire across the country, allowing customers who
might find solar panels too expensive or impractical to buy
green energy anyway.
Community solar gardens first took off in Colorado a few
years ago, and the model also known as community or
shared solar has spread to Minnesota, California,
Massachusetts and several other states. Capacity is expected to grow sharply this year, and interest is up among both
residential customers who just like the idea and large companies that want to cut their carbon footprints.
The gardens feed electricity to the local power grid.
Customers subscribe to that power and get credit on their
utility bills, with contracts that typically lock in for 25
years and shelter against rate increases. Some developers
say customer bills will drop below regular retail rates
within a few years; others say the savings begin immediately.
This is really the year that community solar becomes
mainstream, said David Amster-Olszewski, CEO of
Denver-based solar garden developer SunShare LLC, which
runs two operations in Colorado and is developing more
with Xcel Energy Inc., including in Minnesota.
Rooftop solar panels are becoming more popular among
homeowners as the cost comes down, but that market is
limited to only about one-fourth of U.S. residences, according to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, an arm
of the U.S. Department of Energy. Community solar opens
the door to many more, including renters, customers with
shaded roofs and those who cant afford solar panels.
Its friendly to big customers, too. Ecolab Inc. is the first
major corporate customer to commit to Minnesotas program. The Fortune 500 sanitation technology company
will get enough electricity from a project in the suburbs to
provide most of the power for its St. Paul headquarters.
At least 10 states promote ways for multiple customers to
share renewable energy systems, according to the advocacy
group Vote Solar, and a dozen states are actively promoting
community solar.
California issued community solar regulations in late
January, requiring three of the states largest utilities to
contract for 600 megawatts of new solar capacity. San
Francisco-based Pacific Gas and Electric Co. will build the
largest share, which could supply 30,000-50,000 customers, spokesman Jonathan Marshall said.

Menlo girls 3-peat as CCS champs

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

SAN JOSE In the wake of winning a

third consecutive Central Coast Section
title, Menlos Olivia Ferrando was the picture of cool.
As the final buzzer sounded, the lone senior on the Knights roster remained entirely
composed, keeping her emotions in check
as not to overly celebrate her teams 47-36
victory over Notre Dame-Belmont in the
CCS Division IV title game Saturday at

Independence High School.

And her teammates five juniors, two
sophomores and seven freshmen followed suit with the same classy, low-key
congratulations among themselves as they
shared with opponent Notre Dame.
Its amazing that weve won it three
years in a row now, Ferrando said. Its
impossible to have done it without the rest
of these players. We rely on each other. We
work really hard in practice and this has
been our goal since Day One.
The foundation of the Knights relative

youth was never a question to Ferrando, a

four-year varsity player who as an underclassman played with Menlo stars Drew
Edelman and Lauren Lete for two years, culminating in the teams 2013 CCS title. Last
year as a junior, Ferrando was one of just
two upperclassmen on roster along with
senior Donya Dehnad as Menlo captured its
second consecutive section crown.

SAN JOSE The best thing about the

Sacred Heart Prep girls soccer team winning
its second straight Central Coast Section
title? The Gators wont have to share it.
Last season, the Gators finished as cochamps with rival Menlo School. This year,
the top-seeded Gators left no doubt, scoring
four goals in the first 16 minutes to bury No.
7 Sacred Heart Cathedral 6-0 in the CCS
Division III championship game at Valley
Christian High School Saturday afternoon.
It feels good not to share it, said SHP
midfielder Tierna Davidson, who had two
goals and two assists. We kept telling ourselves we cant share this again.
The Gators destruction of the Irish capped
one of the most remarkable runs in CCS history. In three playoff games, the Gators
outscored their opponents 21-1.
They dont take anything for granted,
SHP coach Ramiro Arredondo said. These
kids practice like they play.
As they have done all season, SHP (19-21) wasted little time in going on the offensive. While a lot of teams will use the opening minutes as a feel-out period, the Gators
look for a quick strike to get an early leg up.
Sometimes teams will (wait) and adjust,
Arredondo said. We go 100 miles per hours
to see if [the opposition] can keep up.
Turns out, most teams cant. SHP needed
just four minutes to score its first goal during a first half in which they put on a clinic.
Not only did the Gators score five times in
the first 40 minutes, they scored on three of
their first four shots and bombarded the Irish

SHPs Tierna Davidson moves through the midfield during the Gators 6-0 win over Sacred
Heart Cathedral in the CCS DIII championship game. Davidson had two goals and two assists.

At the start of the year, the idea of Caada

being a legit contender seemed ludicrous.
The Colts were coming off a 5-22 season
under a first-year coach. At the start of the
2014-15 campaign, however, Caada head
coach Mike Reynoso set a ludicrous goal
for his second season at the helm to win
the state championship.
Yeah, sure. Thats what they all say.
Well, the joke is on the naysayers.
Saturday night, the Caada mens basketball
team won a 73-70 thriller at College of
Marin in the Northern California Regional
finals. With the win, the Colts advance to
the state final four, just two wins away from
a state championship.
Caada will open play in the state championship tournament Friday at Cerritos
College. The Colts garnered the No. 2 seed
from Northern California and will open
against the Southern California No. 1 seed
Saddleback. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m.
Previous to this season, the closest thing
Reynoso had coached anywhere near this
magnitude was at the end of his four-year
tenure as the varsity head coach at
Woodside. The Wildcats went to the Central
Coast Section Division II playoffs in 2010
and 11, each of his last two seasons, while
tabbing a combined record of 1-2.
So, as wild a ride as Caadas current 24-6
record seems to the naysayers, its an
absolutely surreal experience for Reynoso.
When asked what was the biggest game hed
ever coached in previous to this year, he was
quick to answer.

Warriors supporting cast steps up in win over Clippers

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Draymond Green had 23

points and six assists and the Golden State
Warriors beat the Los Angeles Clippers
106-98 on Sunday for their sixth straight
home victory.
Klay Thompson added 21 points on 9-for13 shooting in the matinee with both teams
leaving town and having a game Monday.
Shaun Livingston gave Golden State
another nice lift off the bench with a sea-

son-best 21 points and

eight rebounds in 28 minutes as the supporting
cast took some pressure
off do-everything point
guard Stephen Curry.
Curry, greeted by chants
of M-V-P!, didnt score
his first field goal until
5:16 before halftime and
Draymond
finished with 12 points
Green
and four assists.
He put the Warriors up 65-52 at the 8:44

mark of the third with a snazzy, off-balance

3 in which he dribbled behind his back and
into traffic at the top of the key, dribbled
out, stepped back and released under pressure from the top of the arc.
Austin Rivers had 22 points off the bench
and JJ Redick scored 18 points to lead Los
Angeles in another physical, testy matchup
between the rivals after the Clippers eliminated Golden State in the first round of last
seasons playoffs.
The Clippers have lost five in a row at
Golden State and were again without Blake

Griffin for a 12th straight game as he recovers from surgery to remove a staph infection
from his right elbow.
I dont think they like us. I dont know
why, Los Angeles coach Doc Rivers quipped.
Steve (Kerr) told me he didnt like me. Were
the last team to knock them out, and they
know that. So I think that adds to it.
Golden State lost 100-86 at Los Angeles
on Christmas after beating the Clippers by
17 at Oracle Arena in early November. The
teams combined for 15 of 60 from 3-point
range on Dec. 25.

M-A outlasted by North Salinas

Menlo boys
outdone by
Santa Cruz

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

SAN JOSE The 3-point shots were ying

early and often between the Menlo and Santa
Cruz boys basketball teams Saturday afternoon
at Independence High School.
But while the Knights (18-8) sank seven treys
in the game, including three from senior Liam
Dunn, No. 2-seeded Menlo
could not solve top-seed
Santa Cruz as the Cardinals
(23-6) rolled to a 59-53 victory in the Central Coast
Section Division IV championship game.
Dunn scored a game-high
25 points, but it wasnt
enough to overcome Santa
Liam Dunn
Cruzs fast-paced play. The
Cardinals were led by senior point guard Kiree
Hutchings team-high 23 points while junior
guard Kaijae Yee-Stephens added 19 points.
Santa Cruz jumped out to an early lead with
rst-quarter 3-pointers from Keanon Williams
and Hutchings, but Menlo kept it a one-possession game for most of the quarter.
Hutchings looked to give the Cardinals some
breathing room near the end of the rst quarter
with a steal and breakaway layup while drawing
a foul in the process. He nailed the free throw to
give Santa Cruz a 17-13 lead, but in the nal
seconds of the quarter, Dunn responded with a
long 3-pointer to close the lead to 17-16.
Santa Cruz went on to outscore Menlo in each
of the rst three quarters. The teams broke even
12-12 in the fourth.
Menlo closed it to a one-possession game
late in the nal quarter when Charlie Roth
scored on a put-back to make it 55-52 with 1:25
remaining, but Santa Cruz limited the Knights
to one free throw over the nal minute.

SANTA CLARA What might have been

for the Menlo-Atherton girls basketball team
had it not been for an injury to Naomi Baer?
One of the Bears senior team captains and
best ball handlers, Baer suffered a scary injury
late in the third quarter of the Central Coast
Section Division I championship game
Saturday night at Santa Clara University that
all but ended her night.
And without one of their star players, the
Bears saw a seven-point lead evaporate in
less than two minutes as top-seed North
Salinas (24-2) staged a fourth-quarter comeback to capture its second straight CCS
Division I title with a 60-53 win over No. 2
Menlo-Atherton.
The nal eight minutes were a tough go for
M-A (24-6) without Baer serving a vital role
in navigating through the pressure defense
and the swarming full-court press of North
Salinas. M-A committed 29 turnovers in the
game including 10 in the nal quarter.
A lot of our turnovers at the end were not
forced, it was just us making bad turnovers,
M-A head coach Markisha Coleman said. We
dealt with their pressure the whole game. A
majority of the game we were up, but I think in
that fourth quarter, for some reason, we just
started turning over the ball.
The devastating injury occurred with M-A
leading 45-40 in the nal minute of the third
quarter. As Baer was driving to the hoop, the
Vikings defense converged hard. Somewhere
in the trafc, Baers right knee buckled and she
crumbled to the oor crying in obvious pain.
After Baer hobbled off, M-A extended its
lead to 47-40 to start the fourth quarter, but
North Salinas swiftly went on an 8-2 run,
closing the lead to 49-48 on two of senior forward Alissa Springs team-high 16 points.
Following an M-A turnover, Baer briey
returned to the game. But in leaving her feet in
an attempt to defend a pass up top, she tum-

bled to oor upon landing and immediately
signaled to the sidelines she had to come off
the oor. Before she did, North Salinas nished the sequence with its last of nine 3pointers in the game when junior point guard
Jordyn Enos banked a bomb off the glass to
give the Vikings a 51-49 lead.
I kind of had a bad feeling going in, but I
really wanted to play, obviously, Baer said.
Its the CCS championship. I felt like I could
just run it off and it would be OK. But when I
jumped into the air, as I was in the air, my
entire kneecap popped out and I was like,
There it goes. Im out.
The Bears had led almost exclusively since
the rst quarter, but the Vikings went for the
throat as the game wound down. North Salinas
outscored M-A 20-8 in the fourth quarter with
exceptional distribution. No one Vikings
player scored more than four points over the

nal eight minutes.

Our girls played a good game, Coleman
said. It was just unfortunate that it happened
in that fourth quarter.
Throughout the rst half, paced by freshman
center Greer Hoyem, M-A put on a phenomenal shooting display, hitting 10-of-17 from
the eld to take a 31-28 lead into halftime.
Hoyem scored a game-high 21 points and
added nine rebounds. Thirteen of her points
came in the opening half.
Baer scored 10 points, eight of which were
in the rst half, with M-A concentrated on taking more high-percentage shots. The usually
potent 3-point shooting Bears attempted just
six shots overall from beyond the arc with
freshman Carly McLanahan converting the
only trey throughout.
North Salinas overcame a ve-point decit
with three minutes remaining in the third quarter to briey take the lead 40-39 on a 3-pointer off a wild exchange by senior guard Nicole
Hermosillo-Wright. But M-A went on an 8-0
run into the fourth quarter, including a pair of
post conversions by Ofa Sili and one by
Hoyem to close the third quarter.
But North Salinas continued to crank up the
intensity.
Whatever [opponents] do, we dont worry
about, Vikings head coach Darren Jackson
said. As long as we do what we do, we feel
like we can win every game.
M-A outrebounded North Salinas 38-25
throughout, but the Vikings added to their
already tenacious post presence by getting
four pivotal offensive boards from
Hermosillo-Wright in the second half.
Down low it was a struggle, Hoyem said.
We talked about it at the beginning, defense
was going to put away this championship, so
we need to step up our defense. Offensive
comes, but defense you need to step up and
play that hard rst.
North Salinas CCS Division I title marks the
third in program history. The Vikings previously celebrated championships in 2010 and 14.

Hillsdale falls short of first CCS title

Continued from page 11
goal with 18 shots 13 of which were on frame.
SHP freshman sensation Mia Shenk continued to show
why she is already one of the best strikers in the section as
she recorded a hat trick in the first half with all three coming in the opening 16 minutes.
Staying disciplined and organized, the Gators played
almost like there were no defenders. Davidson, in particular,
romped through tons of open space as SHP did an excellent
job of maintaining its shape.
Thats been a big point for this team, Arredondo said.
At practice, we work on creating space for someone. They
play well off each other.
Shenk opened the scoring in the fourth minute. Sophie
Amid-Hozour curled a perfect diagonal pass around an SHC
defender that hit Shenk in stride, who broke in on goal. With
only the goalkeeper to beat, Shenk calmly slotted home her
shot and just like that, the Gators were up 1-0.
And it opened the floodgates. Shenk was at it again five
minutes later. Davidson made a run through the Irish defense
and carried the ball to the endline before pulling a pass back
to Shenk, who was unmarked in front of the goal. Shenk onetimed Davidsons cross to make it 2-0.
A minute later, it was 3-0 as Olivia Athens converted a
Shenk pass into another goal. Athens received the ball from
Shenk in the middle of the SHC penalty box, juked a defender and just like that, had a 1-on-1 with the goalie who had
no chance as Athens, the West Bay Athletic League Offensive
Player of the Year, buried her attempt.
Shenk completed her hat trick in the 16th minute off of
Davidsons second assist of the half. Davidson beat a pair of
Irish defenders off the dribble before sending a cross to the
middle. The SHC goalkeeper managed to get her hands on the
pass but couldnt control it, giving up a rebound. Shenk was
right there to poke it home to put the Gators up 4-0.
Just before halftime, Davidson scored the goal of the game
for a 5-0 advantage at halftime. She slalomed a pair of
defenders to break into the penalty box before losing the
handle. Davidson, however, won the ball back, spun around
and almost blindly put a shot on goal that slipped just inside
the right post for the goal.
The Gators added their sixth goal five minutes into the second half, with Davidson picking up her second strike of the
game. Taking a short corner kick from Lauren Von Thaden,
Davidson carried the ball to top right corner of the penalty
box before blasting a shot into the upper left corner.
After that, the Gators spent the rest of the half essentially playing keepaway. The Irish managed three shots in the
second half, after only one in the first, but none were especially dangerous. To keep SHPs lethal attack from running
up the score, Arredondo shifted Shenk and Davidson onto
the defensive line and moved his defenders into attacking
positions.

CUPERTINO Despite tightening up their defense after
allowing an early goal, the eighth-seeded Gators could not
find an answer offensively as they fell to the second-seeded
Irish in the CCS Division III championship game at
Homestead High School Saturday afternoon.
Using superior skill on the ball, along with deft passing,
the Irish had the Gators on their heels to start the game. SHC
(16-3-4) found the mark in the fifth minute when Spencer
Johnson made a run down the left flank. His cross to the middle found an unguarded Ali Aldrees at the top of the penalty
box, beating the SHP (15-3-5) goalkeeper to his right in
what turned out to be the games lone goal.

SAN JOSE The top-seeded Hillsdale girls basketball

team dreamed of winning a Central Coast Section Division
III title against No. 6 Branham at Independence High
School in San Jose Saturday night.
Unfortunately for the Lady Knights, winning a CCS
championship will remain just that a dream.
The Knights trailed for most of the game, fell behind by
20 and could never mount a comeback as they suffered a 4733 loss to the Bruins.
I always knew we could defend people, Hillsdale coach
Mike Ciardella said. But my concern is, can we score
enough to win?
Hillsdale (20-9) proved it couldnt accomplish the latter
and didnt do enough of the former. If anything, the
Knights may have a few nightmares of Branhams Regina
Sankey, who lit up the Knights for 30 points, including 20
in the rst half. Sankey scored 20 of her teams 32 rsthalf points as she seemingly could not miss.
Ciardella said the Knights just defended Sankey better in
the second half, but the damage had already been done.
What are you going to do? Thats as good a kid weve
faced all year, Ciardella said. I never anticipated anyone
doing that to us.
You take her out of the lineup, we drill them.
Branham (21-7) left the door open in the second half,
scoring only 15 points, including just two points in the
fourth quarter. The Knights harassed them into 15 secondhalf turnovers, eight coming in the fourth quarter.
But Hillsdales inability to score consistently meant the
Knights could not take advantage of the opportunity.
I give my kids credit. They were playing good D (in
the second half), Ciardella said.
The game, however, was lost in the rst half. Hillsdale
got off to a good start, with senior forward Kara Ronberg
scoring six of her teams rst nine points. She gave the
Knights a 2-0 lead when she took a defender off the dribble
from the top of the key and drove in for a layup. Next time
down, Ronberg received the ball on the block, spun into
the paint and hit another layup for a 4-0 lead.
Branham responded by scoring the next six points, including back-to-back layups from Sankey. Hillsdales Emily
Nepomuceno answered with a 3 to put the Knights up 7-6 with
4:05 left in the rst quarter the last time they would lead.
Sankey gave the Bruins the lead with her rst 3 at 3:31
of the rst. While Ronberg tied it at 9 with a dribble-drive,
Sankeys second 3 a little more than a minute later put
Branham up 12-9.
At the end of the rst, Branham led 14-9.
Sankey pushed the Bruins lead to 17-9 with her third
straight 3-pointer; and when she hit her fourth at the 4:17
mark, the Bruins led 20-12.
[Sankey] was feeling it, Ciardella said. She was in the
zone.

No. 1 Kentucky looks to avoid

recent finishes by unbeatens
By Gary B. Graves
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Top-ranked Kentucky is the fifth team to

finish the regular season undefeated since
Indiana ran the table in the 1975-76 season.
The Wildcats are also trying not to come up
short like the others did in their quest to
duplicate the Hoosiers perfect championship campaign.
The Wildcats knocked off Florida 67-50
Saturday in a Southeastern Conference
matchup and Kentucky
wrapped up the season
31-0, 18-0 in the SEC.
We all knew that we
would make some noise
and do something special, Kentucky forward
Trey Lyles said after
Saturdays victory. We
just have to go out there
Trey Lyles
and if its our day to win,
then were going to win.
It needs to be Kentuckys day nine more
times for the Wildcats to become the next
undefeated team to win the national title.
A look at teams to go undefeated during the
regular season but stumbled either the conference or the NCAA tournament:

Wichita State 2013-14

The Shockers rolled to a 31-0 record, then
became the Midwest Regions No. 1 seed
after winning the Missouri Valley conference
tournament. Wichita State won its secondround game in the tournament and then faced
No. 8 seed Kentucky, which began the season ranked No. 1 but struggled with inconsistency and fell out of the poll by the end of
the regular season. The Wildcats pulled off a
78-76 upset that was preserved when Fred
VanVleets last-ditch 3-pointer bounced off
the rim and ended the Shockers dream season. The Shockers ended the season 35-1.

St. Jospehs 2003-04

Jameer Nelson and Delonte West led the
Philadelphia school to a 27-0 regular-season record, No. 1 ranking and eventual No.
1 seed in the NCAA tournament. But Xavier
quashed the Hawks unbeaten hopes with a
20-point blowout 87-67 in the
Atlantic 10 Conference tournament. St.
Joes won its next three games in the NCAA
before falling 64-62 to No. 2 Oklahoma
State in the regional final to finish 30-2.

UNLV 1990-91
This group of Runnin Rebels were a dominant, entertaining group of characters,
including Larry Johnson, Stacey Augmon
and Greg Anthony. They were strong
favorites to repeat as NCAA champions,
especially after rolling through the regular
season 27-0 and capturing the Big West
tournament crown. But their run ended in a
Final Four rematch with Duke they had
shellacked the Blue Devils 103-73 in the
previous years title game. With Grant Hill,
Bobby Hurley and Christian Laettner leading the way, Duke upset the Rebels 79-77.
UNLV finished the season 34-1.

Indiana State 1978-79

National player of the year Larry Bird, a
Hoosier for about a minute, almost singlehandedly led Indiana State to 26-0 regularseason record and a No. 1 ranking just three
years after Indianas run. Bird and the
Sycamores won the Missouri Valley
Conference tournament en route to an epic
NCAA final matchup against a Michigan
State squad with Magic Johnson and Greg
Kelser. The Spartans won 75-64 in the mostwatched college basketball game in history,
which spawned one of the most memorable
basketball rivalries of all time. Bird and the
Sycamores finished that year 33-1.

CSM 5, Gavilan 4
College of San Mateo (5-0 in Coast
Golden Gate, 12-5 overall) remains undefeated in Coast Conference play after a 5-4
walk-off win Saturday against Gavilan (3-2,
11-5) at Bulldog Field.
The Bulldogs loaded the bases in the bottom of ninth and Austin Lonestar delivered a
one-out single to center to score Dylan
Isquirdo with the winning run.
Lonestar entered the game as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning and the move paid off
big time. The sophomore went 3 for 3 on the
day, including a pinch-hit RBI single to
score Bear Smith. Lonestar later scored on
an RBI single by Miles Mastrobuoni to cap
a two-run rally to give CSM a 4-3 lead.
Devin Mahoney paced the Bulldogs with a
4-for-5 day. It was his two-run double in the
third that plated Mastrobuoni and Ryan
Krainz with CSMs first runs.

Caada 9, Hartnell 1
Caada starting pitcher Elijah Saunders
earned his first collegiate win with seven
shutout innings Saturday at Hartnell.
The Colts (3-2 in Coast Pacific, 11-4
overall) got their freshman right-hander all
the runs hed need in the first. With two on
and two out, Champy Lucca tripled home
Chris Miguel and Jason Marley. Kurtis
Casperson followed with an RBI single to
score Lucca, giving Caada a 3-0 lead. The
Colts added three runs in the fifth, one in the
sixth and two in the ninth.
Hartnell (1-4, 3-13) scored its only run of
the game off the Caada bullpen in the eighth.
Lucca was 3 for 5 with five RBIs in the
game. Miguel added three hits, two RBIs and
two runs scored. Caadas Sean Walsh and
Hartnells Lane Larronde and Donato
Gallano added two hits apiece.

Ohlone 3, Skyline 2 (10 inn.)

Skyline (3-1, 10-5) had won two consecutive extra-inning games via walk-off, but
Ohlone (2-3, 13-4) turned the tables
Saturday in Fremont.
The Renegades scored on an RBI fielders choice to plate Brandon Sewell with

Bumgarner vs. Shields the rematch Braves combine on

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. World Series MVP

Madison Bumgarner gave up two runs and four
hits as the San Francisco Giants fell to the San
Diego Padres 7-6 on Saturday.
James Shields, who matched up with
Bumgarner in games one and five of the World
Series, made his first appearance in a Padres
uniform. He threw a scoreless inning.
Shields knew the Giants lineup before the
Padres left Peoria for the game. The first batter
he saw was a familiar face. Shields and Nori
Aoki played both with the AL champion
Kansas City Royals last year.
I love that guy, Shields said. I loved playing with him. Its always good to see him.
Key Padres offseason acquisitions Wil
Myers hit a solo home run against Tim
Lincecum and former As Derek Norris had a
hit in three at bats.
Angel Pagan singled and walked and
Brandon Belt had two hits for the Giants.
Lincecum, a two-time Cy Young Award winner,

allowed two runs on two

hits in two innings. He
walked one and struck out
five.
Bumgarner said he felt a
lot better in his second
outing than his first.
I couldnt be happier,
he said. Its not mid-season form but its a whole
Madison
lot closer than it was. I
Bumgarner
feel like were right on
schedule. Everything is coming along the way
its supposed to.

D-Backs see return of key RHP

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Daniel Hudson took
another positive step in his comeback from
two Tommy John surgeries.
The Arizona right-hander pitched two
strong innings in the Diamondbacks 10-5
victory over the San Francisco Giants in a
meeting of split squads on Sunday.
Great, Arizona manager Chip Hale said.

Its like we expected. Hes got dominating

stuff. As long as hes healthy, we know hes
going to be a key part of this team.
Hudson, in his first spring training appearance since 2012, blanked the Giants, allowing an infield single with one strikeout and no
walks.
The Diamondbacks Mark Trumbo homered
off Ty Blatch. Blatch also gave up a two-run
homer to Arizona prospect Brandon Drury.
Guillermo Quiroz homered for San Francisco.
Blatch, who pitched last season in Class-A
and Double-A, allowed five runs on five hits,
including two home runs, in three innings. It
was the second tough appearance in as many
outings this spring. The 24-year-old left-hander gave up five runs on six hits in one inning
against Oakland on Wednesday.

MESA, Ariz. Jeff Samardzjia gave up

two runs over three innings in his first start
with the Chicago White Sox, enjoying a
double homecoming in a 10-4 victory over
the Oakland As on Sunday.
Samardzjia, who gave up three hits,
walked one and struck out one, was 5-6 with
a 3.14 ERA in 16 starts for the As last year
after being acquired from the Cubs.
Samardzjia, who gave up three hits,
walked one and struck out one, was 5-6 with
a 3.14 ERA in 16 starts for the As last year
after being acquired from the Cubs. He made
his major league debut with the Cubs, who

formerly occupied HoHoKam Park.

Samardzjia arrived early at the park to
visit with his former teammates. He took an
informal tour of his former spring training
home, commenting on the upgrades.
He felt like the minute he walked into our
clubhouse, hed been there for a while, As
manager Bob Melvin said. His personality
was such that he fit in from day one.
Billy Butler hit a home run and Craig
Gentry drove in a run for the As, who lost
for the first time in six exhibition games.
Drew Pomeranz helped his chances of
securing a spot in the starting rotation with
two scoreless innings. He allowed two hits,
walked one and struck out four.

Pomeranz felt he needed to control his

emotions a little better. When you first
get into games sometimes you feel a little too good and you have to learn to harness it a little bit, he said. Thats what
I felt like.

Crisp leaves game as precaution

As center fielder Coco Crisp left the game
in the third inning with soreness in his
elbow. Hes not scheduled to play until
Tuesday, and the As want to be cautious.
Right-hander Jarrod Parker is scheduled to
throw a bullpen on Tuesday, with a chance to
throw to hitters on Friday. Hes up to about
45-50 pitches.

Johnson, Josh Outman,
Brandon Cunniff, Ian

Mauricio
Cabrera, Lucas Sims,
Justin Jackson and Jairo
Heredia. The Braves combined to walk nine and
Cabrera hit a batter.
Ive never seen anyCody Martin
thing like that only in
spring training said Atlanta manager Fredi
Gonzalez. A 10-inning no hitter and a 2-2
tie. Some balls were hit pretty well, but the
wind was blowing in.
Houston scored twice on groundouts after
loading the bases on two walks and a hit
batter in the seventh inning.
A.J. Pierzynski had an RBI single in the
first off the Astros Scott Feldman and Todd
Cunningham added a sacrifice fly for
Atlanta.
Feldman, Houstons opening-day starter
last season, gave up a run and two hits in his
first spring start.
National League batting champion Jose
Altuve was 0 for 3. Hes happy about the
recent roster changes the Astros made.
Were going step-by-step and it looks
like finally were getting to where we want
to be, he said.

KNIGHTS
were just as cold. All of the
Knights nal eight points came
from players off the bench: Tayla
Franco scored four points, using a
nice up-and-under move on the
block to score her rst points of
the game. Ashley Yakushi scored a
layup off the dribble and Ishana
Raghuram capped Hilldales scoring for the tournament.
It was Raghurams rst basket of
the season. The senior played in
only three games as she recovered
from a knee injury.
Handicapping the Knights was
the fact they were far from healthy.
Raichel Tjan nally made her CCS
debut after spraining an ankle during the Peninsula Athletic League
tournament. But the still tender
ankle, coupled with recovering
from an illness, left Tjan far from
healthy.
Raichel hasnt been healthy in
a month. She could have changed
the game, Ciardella said.
To make matters worse, Hwang

suffered an ankle injury at practice

late in the week. She still managed
to lead the Knights with nine
points, but she was far from 100
percent.
A tightly-ofciated game didnt
help Hillsdales cause either.
Major (impact), Ciardella
said. Were not overly physical,
but we are aggressive. It hurt their
aggressiveness on defense.
Despite the loss, Hillsdales season is not over. The Knights qualied for the Northern California
tournament as the No. 9 seed and
will be on the road.
The Knights wont have to go
far, however, as they have a rstround matchup against No. 9
Moreau Catholic-Hayward (20-9),
which is about a 30-minute drive
from campus. Tipoff is 7 p.m.
Wednesday.
No matter what happens from
here on out, the Knights will eventually bask in the fact they had the
best season in Hillsdales girls
basketball history with their rst
CCS championship game appearance.
Were not done yet, Ciardella
said. Im not disappointed. I didnt expect this (a run to a CCS
title) this year.

the play, it
would
have
been a wideopen layup.
Its huge,
Reynoso said of
the play. To
come up that
big and realKenny Hatch ly getting to be
in that situation to make a big play is always a
special feeling. So he definitely
came up big for our team and our
program. Kenny was a savior for
us right there at that point.
With the ball deflected out of
bound off Caada, the threat was
not over. Marin took one more
shot at snatching the lead and
Caadas visions of Cerritos
College and the final four. Chavez
got the ball again but missed a
long jumper; and it was Goodwin
who soared through the post to
grab one of his five rebounds.
It was one of those things of
the sophomores (Hatch and
Goodwin) just picking each other
up, Reynoso said.
In the games final seconds,
Marin had no choice but to foul

Goodwin. And while the sophomore paced the Colts with 24

points, none were as big as the
two free throws he hit to give the
Colts a 73-70 lead.
Four Colts scored in double-digits in the game, including Hatch
with 12, Manny Martin with 13
and Crisshawn Clark with 15.
Clark and Martin paced the team
with nine rebounds apiece.
Reynoso pointed to Clark as the
catalyst for the offense.
He was just lights out,
Reynoso said. He was the leader
and he really has been throughout
these playoffs. Hes really been
the engine that makes us go.
Caada departs for Southern
California Wednesday. Cerritos
College is in the city of Norwalk,
a part of Los Angeles County.
Saddleback has won two previous
California Community College
Athletic Association state titles,

Chappie tops slow weekend

By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

m stealing this week, but also giving

you several tips when you may have
expected just one so theres that. These
nuggets were written by our talented humane
educator. Among other things, she coordinates
visits to local elementary school, group tours
of our new adoption center, our Vet Shadow
Program for high school students and our
summer Animal Camp sessions for kids age
9-12. Tip number one is timely, with Easter
weeks away: Theres a reason rabbits have a
reputation for multiplying. They can and do,
early and often! Altered rabbits make better
companions without adding to the overpopulation problem. Seek out an experienced veterinarian to verify the gender and alter your
pet rabbits at the right age. PHS/SPCAs
Spay/Neuter Clinic offers this surgery at a
low cost to the public. Next up, another great
tip for spring: Nobody intends to make hummingbirds sick by putting up a feeder, but that
can be the result if it isnt maintained properly. Prevent serious infection by emptying and
washing the feeder every few days. A bottle
brush and warm water with bleach or vinegar
should remove any traces of mold. Repeat and
rinse thoroughly before relling with nectar.
Heres another timely tip: Every spring and
fall we receive baby squirrels who have lost
their homes. A primary cause is tree trimming.
Consider scheduling tree work in the wintertime when it is least likely for mammals and
birds to be nesting. If you nd a dislodged
youngster who is injured, keep it warm, dark
and quiet until reaching our Wildlife Care
Center. And, heres one nal tip, good yearround, especially for owners of tank pets:
While all pets need water, certain pets need
tap water to be treated before it is placed in
their tank. A simple water conditioner that
removes chemicals such as chlorine and
ammonia is a lifesaver for sensitive animals
like sh, amphibians and hermit crabs.
Scott oversees PHS/SPCAs Adoption,
Behavior and Training, Education, Outreach,
Field Services, Cruelty Investigation,
Volunteer and Media/PR program areas and
staff from the new Tom and Annette Lantos
Center for Compassion.

LOS ANGELES Neither a hyper intelligent robot nor Vince Vaughn could save the
box office this weekend, which is down
38.5 percent from the same weekend last
year according to Sunday estimates from
box office firm Rentrak.
While Neill Blomkamps R-rated
Chappie might have taken the No. 1
spot in its 3,201 theater debut, its modest
$13.3 million gross is hardly anything to
celebrate.
Its a career low for Blomkamp, whose
previous films Elysium and District 9
debuted at $29. 8 and $37. 4 million,
respectively.
Distributor Sony remains optimistic
about its $49 million film about a police
robot (voiced by Sharlto Copley) who
learns how to think and feel.
It certainly opened in our realm of
expectations for it for the weekend, said
Rory Bruer, Sonys President of Worldwide
Distribution. He noted that the 60 percent
male and 57 percent under-30 demographic
breakdown was good for the film.
Sony and its subsidiaries have released
all three of Blomkamps films.
I certainly believe, like Neills other
movies, that its going to have a really
strong multiple and were going to come
out fine on the movie, Bruer said.
The R-rated Vince Vaughn comedy
Unfinished Business fared even worse,
opening at No. 10 to a dismal $4.8 million. The $35 million film about a chaotic
European business trip also stars Dave
Franco and Tom Wilkinson.
In its second weekend in theaters, Will
Smiths Focus fell an estimated 46 percent to take second place with $10 million, bringing its domestic total to $34.6
million.
These are not exactly world class numbers, said Paul Dergarabedian, Rentraks
senior media analyst.
This is two weekends in a row where
weve seen original R-rated movies just
not resonate with audiences with Focus
last weekend and Chappie this weekend, he said.

Chappie took in a modest $13.3 million over the weekend in its first week of release.
One bright spot was Fox Searchlights
retiree comedy The Second Best Exotic
Marigold Hotel, which opened in third
place with a strong $8.6 million from
1,573 locations.
Its one of the very rare instances of an
indie sequel. You normally dont see that,
said Dergarabedian.
The PG-rated film, which reunites Judi
Dench, Maggie Smith and Bill Nighy, will
be expanding to about 1,800 screens next
weekend.
The first film was somewhat of a sleeper
hit in 2012, grossing $46. 4 million
domestically on a budget of $10 million.
Holdovers Kingsman: The Secret
Service and The SpongeBob Movie:
Sponge Out of Water,
rounded out the top five
with $8.3 million and $7
million, respectively.
This is the proverbial
calm before the storm.
Were still on track for a
massive, record-breaking
year. But there are going to
be a lot of casualties along
the way and were seeing
that
right
now,
Dergarabedian said.

She said what happened in
Selma changed the world, adding
that she witnessed the painful
injustice of segregation as a child.
She also recalled standing behind
her father as he signed the act into

A march from Selma to
Montgomery in remembrance of
the journey is set to begin
Monday morning and culminate
with a rally at the Alabama Capitol
Friday afternoon.
Many had gathered for a unity
breakfast, film screenings and a
planned pre-march rally starting
Sunday afternoon at the foot of the
Edmund Pettus Bridge, where
President Barack Obama spoke a
day earlier.
On Saturday, Obama touched on
improvements in American race
relations. He mentioned recent
high-profile clashes between citizens and law enforcement on the
circumstances leading to fatal
police shootings and law enforcement tactics toward minorities.
We just need to open our eyes,
and ears, and hearts, to know that
this nations racial history still
casts its long shadow upon us,
Obama said.
We know the march is not yet
over, the race is not yet won, and
that reaching that blessed destination where we are judged by the
content of our character requires
admitting as much, he said
Obama was joined by others in
the town of roughly 20,000 to
hear speeches from leaders including Georgia Rep. John Lewis an
Alabama native who was among
the demonstrators attacked by law
officers on a march for equal voting rights.
Bishop Dennis Proctor of the
Alabama-Florida
Episcopal
District said his group brought
five buses to the anniversary commemoration. But he told members
not to come to Selma if they couldnt commit to fighting to restore

the changes in voting laws threatened to push minority voters
backward down the bridge.

As the Peninsula sees signs of
continued economic recovery,
now is a great time to consider
purchasing or renancing a home.
Purchasing a new home is
thrilling, but it can be stressful at times. There are a lot of
considerations. The mortgage
professionals at United American Bank work hard to make the
process easy with attentive, personal service at every step. They
listen to all your concerns. Most
importantly, they take the time

hear that we were going to make

this journey, McKissack said.
The buses carried civil rights
leaders some Freedom Riders
lawmakers, city council members
and college students.
Its up to us ... to explain to
them what actually happened and
why this march is happening,
said Ernest Patton, a Nashville
Freedom Rider who made the trip.
They should walk up to somebody and say, were you a part of
this 50 years ago? And get the
history.

tasy world. Its pure drudgery. From bones,

the Ohlones carved awls, pins and needles,
as well as whistles made from a birds leg
bone. Abalones, olivella and clam shells
were fashioned into pendants, beads and
other decorations traded and worn to distinguish their stature in the community.
A burial ground was later found along the
creek that flows down from the land to the
west of the City Park on Crystal Springs
Avenue.
It appears that the burial area was large
and occupied along Crystal Springs Road
from St. Roberts Church, west to where the
Senior Center complex is located. Dozens
of bodies were found then reburied to pre-

to educate you on every aspect of

the process.

STATELINE, Nev. The U.S.

Forest Service has tentatively
approved a major Lake Tahoe ski
resorts plans to expand its summer attractions.
The agencys Lake Tahoe Basin
Management Unit late last month
issued a draft decision in favor of
the proposed Heavenly Mountain
Resort Epic Discovery project.
Among other attractions, the
resort on Tahoes south shore is
seeking to boost summer visitation by 45 percent to 160,000
with a mountain bike park, kayaking and paddle-boarding, zip-lines
and mountain coasters.
The coaster, a gravity-driven
ride close to the ground, would
allow riders to coast through the
forest at their own pace by operating a brake. Plans also call for a
sky cycle, a bicycle-like device
suspended from a cable that visitors can pedal to move along the
treetops.
While most public comments to
the Forest Service about the project were supportive, the Tahoe
Area Sierra Club Group raised several objections.
The project will increase congestion in the Tahoe Basin during
the busiest time of the year for visitation, said Laurel Ames, the
groups conservation committee
chair.
This place is jammed in the
summer, Ames told the Reno
G a z e t t e - J o u r n a l
(http://on. rgj. com/1GwCXAP ).
The Heavenly project exacerbates
the summer part, it exacerbates a
whole series of problems we deal
with here in the summer ... It is
more traffic, it is more congestion, it is more air pollution.
The Forest Services release of
its draft decision initiated a 45-day
period during which public comment on the plan will be accepted.

serve the findings that will have to be excavated at a later date.

Schenk reports that research on these
early-day Peninsula residents had only
begun, and that he expects to have fuller
reports with more information in the near
future.
He only hopes that archeologists will be
able to preserve some record of our first
Peninsula residents from encroaching suburbia.

and there has been a shift in purchasing methods, said Phil Saglimbeni,
first vice president of investments at
Institutional Property Advisors, who
brokered the sale.
We are seeing an uptick, but its a
very specific type of asset these foreign investors are looking for. They
like class A assets, Saglimbeni said.
The brand-new stuff like Mode is not
very complicated. They buy it, hire a
management company and put it on
the shelf. Their motivations are multifold a lot of it has to do with hedging or risk diversification out of their
home country. And it also has to do
with the Bay Area and how explosive
the economy has been. Whether its
foreign or domestic, people just want
to be in this market.

I know its her home but its my
home too, Enos said about the
homes actual owner.
She understands the $2,000 a month
the family has been paying to live
there is now considered to be a belowmarket rate and feels fortunate about
that.
However, the familys effort to find a
new home has been fruitless as she
competes with high-tech workers and
their new wealth.
San Mateo County is discriminating, in a very quiet way so no one will
notice, against the families and middle
class by forcing them out of the county. With all the tech companies moving in, landlords are thinking that
they can charge whatever for rent. Oh,
the deep pockets of those who are
lucky enough to work for these companies, Enos wrote the Daily Journal in
a letter.
The family can afford to pay $2,000

The property was originally a Boy

Scouts camp before it became an
unfenced minimum security facility,
Finley said.
The Sheriffs Office would repurpose
some of the newer beds at the honor
camp for the womens jail for inmates
to use there, said Sheriffs Office
spokeswoman Rebecca Rosenblatt.
Since the honor camp is no longer
needed as a jail facility, the Sheriffs
Office is exploring what the options
might be for the property, Rosenblatt
said.
The property is near Camp

Glenwood, which is still operated by

the countys Probation Department as
an honor camp for male juvenile
offenders.
It is near the newly-built Park Gulch
Trail that has an old grove of redwoods
that has never been harvested, Finley
said.
The property has seven buildings on
site with a kitchen and outdoor recreation areas with a baseball field and
basketball court. It was once able to
house 116 inmates, according to the
Sheriffs Office.

common for foreign investors to create a joint venture with a U.S.-based

firm to acquire properties and the public wouldnt typically know of the offshore involvement, Saglimbeni said.
However, foreign companies are
increasingly starting to directly
source real estate deals on their own,
Saglimbeni said.
Mode was the second deal
Saglimbeni said hes conducted with
Land and Houses and hes also in the
middle of a transaction for a Redwood
City property with a Singapore-based
group.
Wood Partners completion of Mode
is the second luxury apartment community its finished in the Bay Area having sold an Oakland development for
$103.2 million in 2013, according to
a Wood Partners press release.
The San Mateo apartments sit on the
site of a former commercial printing
facility and are close to Caltrain as
well as major employers such as
Oracle, Visa, Gilead and Franklin
Templeton Investments, according to

Wood Partners.

With job growth booming, rental

companies around the world are looking to buy in.

a month but cannot afford the $4,000

rents landlords are asking for now, she
said.
The family could have bought a
home long ago but was comfortable
renting, she said. Buying now, however, is not an option.
The family has been house hunting
every weekend since mid-January, filling out applications and paying for
credit checks. But the $35 to $50 they
pay for each credit check has started to
add up and they still havent been
approved to rent anywhere, said Enos,
who works at Oracle.
This amounts to a lot of dollars
going where? You never know if your
credit was run or not, she said.
The ordeal has left her depressed.
Thursday night, the family received
a call from a landlord in South San
Francisco who rejected their application.
This has left me emotionally
drained, she said Thursday after her
husband returned home from renting a
storage unit for $500 a month.
Its an expense they would rather
apply toward rent.
Several rooms of the home are filled

with boxes as the family prepares to

move. Taking the family photos off
the walls was probably the hardest
thing for the family to do.
It really hit my son when he saw the
bare walls, she said.
Vic and Linda thumbed through some
old photo albums from their lives in
the home before putting them in
boxes.
The albums showed pictures of the
couple after bringing both of their
newborns home from the hospital.
The tree in their front lawn was
planted in 1982 when their son was
still a baby. In a wind storm one night,
Linda thought it was going to uproot
because it was so fragile. She took
some kitchen chairs and old nylons
and tied it all up to protect it from the
wind.
Now today it is a really strong tree
that we have watched grow over the
past 30 years, she said. The emotion
is making me crazy. This is wrong on
so many levels. In two weeks, we will
after 42 years be officially homeless
for no other reason than greed. I need
help.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

MENLO
Continued from page 11
that means anything to us, Ferrando said.
Its riling us on to keep going.
The path to Menlos seventh all-time
CCS title seemed like a walk in the park
through the semifinal round. The No. 2-seed
Knights (18-8), on their home court, cruised
to victories over Castilleja and Soquel to
advance to the championship game against
top-seed Notre Dame (13-14).
For the first three quarters Saturday, however, the Knights battled to establish their
high-energy attack against the tactically
deliberate Tigers. The lead changed hands
seven times in the game until Menlo point
guard Sam Erisman drove to the hoop for a
layup to give the Knights the lead for good
at 27-26 with 32 seconds remaining in the
third quarter.
Menlo was paced by a gritty effort from
junior forward McKenzie Duffner, who
scored a team-high 14 points while adding
seven rebounds and three steals. Shooting
guard Hannah Paye grabbed a game-high
eight rebounds and had two key first-quarter
steals. Erisman added 13 points, five
rebounds and three steals.
Erisman scored a majority of her points
from the free-throw line in the fourth quarter. Midway through it, Notre Dame closed
the Knights lead to 38-34 when Erisman
went to the line for the first of her 10
chances from the line over the final four
minutes. The sophomore converted 8 of 10
free throws in the quarter while Hannah Paye
hit 4 of 5. Those 12 points proved one more
than the margin of victory.
The importance of free throws is really
big, Erisman said. I was definitely really
nervous but I felt like, I havent done
much the whole game, so these free throws
are going to be the one thing I end up
doing.
Both Menlo and Notre Dames offenses
shot erratically through the first half. The
Knights were just 5-of-30 (16.6 percent)
from the field in the opening half while the
Tigers shot marginally worse at 4-of-25 (16
percent).
But, as is their calling card, the Knights
set the tone early by turning their opponents ability to bring the ball up the court
into a free-for-all.
Notre Dame did well to advance the ball up
court one time. With 2:37 remaining in the
first quarter, senior guards Megan Smith and
Emma Pastorino worked like stop-motion
pillars to steady the ball past midcourt. The
Tigers got the ball in the half-court set with
Menlos aggressive defense still pressing
up top and Smith adeptly flung the ball to a

streaking Pastorino who fed freshman forward Olga Faasolo underneath for a foul on a
lay-in to put Notre Dame ahead 7-2.
Notre Dame sophomore guard Cam McNab
converted a pair of free throws to lengthen
the early lead, but the relentless Menlo
press took over, ultimately leading to a 140 Knights run.
It started when Pastorino took a page out
of Menlos book and tabbed one of her
game-high four steals. Hannah Paye stole
it right back though and Menlo quickly
distributed to Ferrando for a 3-point
bulls-eye. Hannah Paye immediately
grabbed another steal and dished to
Ferrando for a layup. The quarter closed
with a pair of free throws from Menlo junior center Olivia Pellarin to tie it 9-9.
The game plan was to keep the game in
the 30s, low 40s, Notre Dame head coach
Josh Davenport said. We were headed in
that direction and then we got a little rattled
there late in the first quarter and we never
recovered from it. We tried a bunch of different looks to ease the pressure, but it just
never came together.
Both offenses went cold in the second
quarter. The game remained deadlocked 9-9
until 3:50 before the half when Erisman
drilled a jumper from up top. A quick Notre
Dame turnover allowed Pellarin to score off
an offensive rebound. Menlo sophomore
DeJeane Stine then checked in for a cut to
the hoop to give the Knights a 16-9 lead.
The Tigers cut it to 16-13 at the half on
two of Pastorinos game-high 21 points.
And Notre Dame found its touch at the
beginning of the second half to make
things interesting as Pastorino hit a pair
of 3s and McNab added another in a third
quarter.
We changed the offense we were running
so we could overload a side and we got four
or five straight good looks, Davenport
said. The challenge again was when they
made a shot, we didnt do a very good job of
getting the ball back up half court that we
could set up and be deliberate.
Notre Dame led by three in the quarter, but
two clutch rebounds by Stine twice caught
Menlo up. The 5-foot guard first muscled
through traffic and found Duffner in the corner to knock down a trey, tying it 19-19.
Stines next offensive board kicked back to
Hannah Paye, who sank a 3-pointer to give
Menlo a 25-24 lead with 2:40 left in the
quarter.
On offense and on defense, [Stine] would
come in really strong because no one was
necessarily on her, Duffner said. It was
great because she could just pass it right out
because everyone was open and it really
gave us an opportunity to score and get the
energy up.
Pellarins presence was key to Menlo outrebounding Notre Dame 42-35 in the game.

Top: Notre Dame-Belmonts Cam McNab,

front, is pressed by Menlo senior Olivia Ferrando after an inbound pass.
Bottom: Menlos Olivia Pellarin fights Notre
Dames Eleni Giotinis for a rebound.
Right: Menlos Sam Erisman fires up a 3-point
attempt.The sophomore would go on to score
a game-high 13 points in Menlos 47-36 win.
The Knights best rebounder at 5-11,
Pellarin drew her fourth foul with 3:19
remaining in the third quarter. She still
played regular minutes and kept the Notre
Dame post busy while aggressive crashes
from Menlos forwards and guards dominated the boards.
Pellarin has a very good basketball IQ,
Menlo head coach John Paye said. She
makes the most out of her physical attributes and shes always in the right position.
Her timing is impeccable. I have no problems playing her with four fouls.
Menlo led 29-26 heading into the fourth
quarter, but it would have been less if not

for Duffner hitting a running baseline

jumper at the buzzer to energize her team
amid a 12-0 run en route to its three-peat
destiny.
Going into last year people doubted us a
lot in going for our second CCS win, but we
showed them that were still the same
strong team that we always have been,
Ferrando said. And again, this year we
wanted to prove the same exact thing. So, I
think thats what we did.
Next up for Menlo is the opening round of
the CIF Northern California Division IV
playoffs. The No. 5-seed Knights will host
No. 12 Dixon Wednesday at 5 p.m.
