Cal Water rules taking shape

Workshops to discuss water budgets, penalties to ensure conservation
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

As groundbreaking conservation mandates continue trickling

down to consumers, one of
Californias largest water suppliers is ironing out the details of its
regulations and officials are hoping some of the San Mateo
Countys most notorious guzzlers

will start to fall in line.

The California Water Service
Company released its proposed
water shortage contingency plan
or schedule 14.1 that outlines restrictions, water budgets
and potential penalties that will
apply to thousands of local customers.
To help educate San Mateo
County consumers on the new

rules and conservation resources

available, Cal Water is hosting
educational meetings next week.
Were setting up this meeting
so we can help inform our customers whats to be expected and
what they can do to help. And
answer questions, we know theres
going to be a lot of questions,
said Bear Gulch District Manager
Dawn Smithson. Things keep

changing rapidly and rules are all

having to be developed so quickly.
As an investor-owned utility,
Cal Water is regulated by the
California
Public
Utilities
Commission and is awaiting the
states approval before its new
rules, which mimic the State Water
Resources Control Boards, go
into effect June 1.

We really want to help our customers because theyre being

required by the state to do this. We
have to make these reductions,
said Cal Water spokeswoman
Yvonne Kingman. We have waste
of water penalties and we do have
budget surcharges. So theres two
areas wasting water and exceed-

Facility an alternative to jail, hospital
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

BILL SILVERFARB/DAILY JOURNAL

Every tenant, including 31 children, of an 18-unit apartment complex in Redwood City must find a new home
after new owners announced they planned a major renovation of the aging building.

The county will convert a house

it owns adjacent to the San Mateo
Medical Center into a respite center for individuals with mental
health issues, said Steve Kaplan,
director of behavioral health and
recovery services.
The facility and programs provided within will hopefully provide stability for individuals in
crisis but some neighbors of the
house have already voiced some
early opposition to the proposal.
The property at 37th Avenue and
Hacienda Street is currently being

used by some off-duty Sheriffs

Office deputies for sleep, Kaplan
said.
A major renovation will help the
county-owned building that has
fallen into disrepair better blend
in with the neighborhood, he said.
Kaplan will meet next week with
the
Beresford/Hillsdale
Neighborhood Association to discuss the plan and hear concerns
from nearby residents.
Some residents of the neighborhood have started a petition based
on their opposition to the facility,
said Lisa Taner, president of the

Every tenant must go Browns budget revision

New owners plan to renovate RWC apartments
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Every resident of an 18-unit

apartment complex in Redwood
City, including 31 children, had
their tenancies terminated by new
ownership that plans a complete
interior and exterior renovation of
the aging building.
Residents were notified by the
previous owner April 24 that the
building had been sold. They were
then provided information detailing where to forward their May
rent checks.

A second notification from FPI

Management a few days later indicated a leasing office would be set
up nearby where residents could
contact leasing agents.
A final notification sent May 1,
however, told residents that they
had 60 days to vacate their apartments.
The plan is to completely renovate both the interior and exterior
of the building ... in a manner that
is safe without disruption to our
valued residents, read the notification from FPIs Kai Dismuke, a
portfolio manager.

The next line in the letter

though sent shockwaves through
the building, which is comprised
of mostly working-class Latino
residents.
With that in mind, we have
determined that it is necessary to
vacate the entire building prior to
renovation, Dismuke wrote.
The mass eviction is a growing
trend pushing the working poor
out of the area so property owners
can maximize their profits, affordable housing advocates such as

Records offer murky view into
Afflecks ancestor and slavery
SAVANNAH, Ga. A family death
in 1858 left Ben Afflecks great-greatgreat grandfather with legal custody of
his mother-in-laws most valuable
property her slaves.
There was Cuffey, whose value was
estimated at $500 in handwritten
estate records still on file with the
Chatham County Probate Court. There
were Henry and James, valued at
$1,000 apiece. And Robert and Becky,
worth $600 as a couple. They were
among 24 slaves willed to Benjamin
L. Cole with instructions to turn them
over to his three sons once they
reached adulthood.
Nineteenth century documents offer
a window into the life of the
Hollywood stars ancestor and put
Benjamin Cole right at the center of
the Souths reckoning with slavery.
He had the personal ties his familys at least two dozen slaves. But as
sheriff of Chatham County, which
includes Savannah, he had deep public
ties as well. His nearly a decade as the
top law enforcement official in one of
the Souths most important cities
started before the Civil War, when
slavery was a way of life, continued
throughout the war, when its citizens

When Cole became sheriff in 1860,

after briefly holding the job in 1856,
slaves made up roughly a third of
Savannahs 22, 000 people. Many
labored on vast rice plantations south
of the city. Others worked as house
servants, wagon drivers, hotel waiters
and messengers.
Cole himself had a modest farm with
about 100 acres of cleared land.
Census records from 1850 identify
Cole as the owner of 25 slaves.
City and county tax digests paint a
different picture. They show Cole paid
taxes on his land, a dog, a horse and a
carriage. But he never paid for any
slaves, which were also taxed as personal property.The 1860 census offers
a possible explanation. It shows Cole
held 31 slaves as an estate executor
and trustee for Ann S. Norton and S.L.
Speissegger, Coles in-laws from two
marriages. It was Norton who left her
slaves to Coles sons from a previous
marriage. In 1857 he married Georgia
A. Cole, Speisseggers daughter. She
was Afflecks great-great-great grandmother. Benjamin and Georgia Cole
had at least one slave of their own. Its
not clear if the slaves Cole held in
trust worked for him.
You can pretty much count on him
not letting them sit around, said
Jacqueline Jones, history department
chair at the University of Texas at
Austin and author of the book Saving
Savannah: The City and the Civil
War.

Slavery touched
everything.
Everybody
had
some kind of a connection to it in
some way, said W.
Todd Groce, presiBen Affleck
dent of the Georgia
Historical Society.
Evidence that Cole owned slaves
drove Affleck to ask PBS and Harvard
scholar Henry Louis Gates to remove
his relative from a TV program exploring Afflecks family tree. After
Afflecks actions became public in
April, the Argo actor and director
identified the relative as Benjamin
Cole on Twitter. A publicist for Affleck
reached by The Associated Press
offered no further comment. The AP
used historical public records to independently confirm that Cole was
Afflecks ancestor.
I didnt want any television show
about my family to include a guy who
owned slaves, Affleck said in a
Facebook post April 21. I was embarrassed. The very thought left a bad
taste in my mouth.
Nearly 144 years before he was dismissed by his great-great-great grandson as an embarrassment, Cole was
praised as a universally respected
citizen by the Savannah Morning
News after he died on Nov. 16, 1871.

San Mateo and the 1915 San Francisco Expo

uch hoopla is made over the

100th anniversary of the
Panama-Pacific International
Exposition, or PPIE, a giant extravaganza
of a fair held in San Francisco in 1915. Its
always good to glance in lifes rear view
mirror to see where we came from and how
we got here. The San Francisco Chronicle
devoted an entire insert to recalling the
event.
Surprisingly, there are a lot of San Mateo
County connections to the exposition that
drew more than 18 million visitors during a
years run held to celebrate the opening of
the Panama Canal as well as showing the
world that San Francisco was on its way
back from the devastating 1906 earthquake
and fire.
For openers, theres Vans Restaurant in
Belmont (Full disclosure: I like eating
there). The restaurant, located on a hill that
offers a view of the Bay that should be on
the menu, was once part of the expositions
Japanese exhibit that covered 6 acres and
was the largest contingent of all the 42 foreign nations that took part in the PPIE,
which extended almost three miles along
the Bay in what is todays Marina district.
The expo had a strong Asian flavor. China
also contributed, which is marked by a current display in the San Francisco Airport
Museum located in the International
Terminal. Giant models of pagodas take up
an entire side of the museum, which is a
replica of the airports passenger terminal

The Vans Restaurant is one of the only remaining structures from the 1915
Panama-Pacific International Exposition.

The fairs still existing organ is still looking for

a permanent home.
that was built in 1937 when passengers got
the royal treatment. The pagoda models
were part of the Chinese offering to the
PPIE.
Most public reports claim Vans is one of
two structures to survive the fair. The other
is the Palace of Fine Arts, the famous domed
rotunda adjacent to a lagoon that provided
the backdrop of numerous wedding photos.
Often overlooked is the fact that the Bill
Graham Auditorium, formerly the Civic
Center Auditorium near San Francisco City
Hall was the expo convention center, even
though it was located miles away from the
main event. Also neglected is the fairs still
existing giant organ once housed in the

convention center. It was installed by the

family of Vince Shoenstein of Redwood
City who wrote a long piece in the current
Journal of Local History called The Story
behind the 1915 Expo Organ. The organ
was devastated by the Loma Prieta earthquake but has been reassembled. Efforts are
being made to find it a new home, sort of an
organ transplant so to speak.
Old-timers will be familiar with the story
of the 1915 events Ohio Building, which
was barged down to the Peninsula where it
sat on the Bay until 1956 when it was deliberately burned down by the San Mateo Fire
Department to make way for an industrial
plant. Backers had envisioned the day when
the building would become a country club
and a yacht club. By 1921, the Redwood
City Standard reported the Ohio Building
stood in lonely, dilapidated grandeur on an
edge of mudflats. There was a brief period
of resuscitation during Prohibition. The
building became The Babylon Club and,
according to Redwood City Tribune columnist Otto Tallent, enjoyed a rollicking
spree as a nightclub or whoopee place.
The building that now houses The Vans
also had a new lease on life during
Prohibition. It was bought from the original owner by Elsie Smuck, who turned the
structure from a private home to a place that
featured a speakeasy and, rumor had it, slot
machines and other games of chance as well
as catering to what today would be called
Johns. Youd think that with a name like
Smuck, Elsie would have had to be good.

Clifford appears in the Daily Journal every other

Sanchez sorry for Indian whooping-cry caricature

By Michael R. Blood
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANAHEIM U.S. Senate candidate Loretta Sanchez has apologized after a videotape surfaced
showing her making a whooping
cry in reference to Native
Americans during an apparent
joke.
Speaking to delegates at a state
Democratic convention Sunday,
the 10-term congresswoman said
she said something offensive and
for that I sincerely apologize.
The video, which was shared on
social media, shows Sanchez tapping her hand over her open
mouth and making a whooping
sound while speaking to a group
of delegates Saturday.
Her chief rival in the Senate
race, Attorney General Kamala
Harris, called the gesture shock-

ing.
Sanchez said
ev ery o n e
makes
mistakes
and
defended her
record on civil
rights, human
rights
and
N
a
t
i
v

rights.
Sanchez said American Indians
have a great presence in our country and many of them are supporting our election.
Harris, whose mother was an
immigrant from India, said,
There is no place for that in our
public discourse.
The incident came during a convention in which the 2016 Senate
race played out among speeches
and partying. The two Democrats

are the leading candidates for the

seat being vacated by retiring Sen.
Barbara Boxer.
On Saturday, Harris defended her
qualications on foreign affairs
and national defense after Sanchez
had suggested she doesnt have the
skills for the job in Washington.
Harris told reporters that voters
next year will determine who is
qualied for the Senate seat, and
her experience as a two-term attorney general and a former local
prosecutor gave her the background she would need on Capitol
Hill.
I feel certainly equipped to
have a sense of what California
needs and wants as it relates to
many issues, Harris said. As a
career prosecutor, I know the
stuff they do in Washington actually impacts California.
Sanchez, who entered the race

Thursday, spent Saturday dashing

to and from convention meetings,
shaking dozens of hands and posing for snapshots. When she
entered the race last week, said
that her long experience in
defense and foreign affairs on
Capitol Hill was essential in perilous times, drawing a contrast
with Harris.
Harris, in her speech to delegates
on Saturday, twice referred to dysfunction on Capitol Hill. She never
mentioned Sanchez, but the statements appeared to suggest that the
congresswoman was part of the
problem. Harris said that everywhere she travels as a candidate she
is asked how she can possibly
expect to get anything done in
paralyzed Beltway politics.
Speaking later with reporters,
Harris pointed to her work along
the U.S.-Mexico border on drug

trafcking as state attorney general.

The contest between the two
high-prole Democrats has geographic, racial and political
dimensions. Sanchez, 55, is
Hispanic with a background in
national defense issues and roots
in Southern California. Over the
years, she has belonged to a faction of moderate Democrats
known as the Blue Dog Coalition.
Harris, 50, a favorite of the
partys left wing, is a career prosecutor from the San Francisco Bay
Area whose father is black and
mother is Indian.
Sanchez, speaking to members
of the partys Chicano Latino
Caucus, said she wanted to appeal
across the states diverse population. We will win, and we will
win with a fabric of everybody,
she said.

About 8 percent of dentists in California
treating children enrolled in Medicaid may
be overcharging, raising questions about
the quality of care, according to a federal
report released to be Monday.

$118 million
Auditors for the U. S. Department of
Health and Human Services identified 329
dentists and six orthodontists with questionable billing. Together, they were paid
$118 million for pediatric dental work in
2012.
Because investigators only analyzed
claims data and did not review medical
charts, the report did not determine whether
the dentists engaged in fraudulent billing or
provided services that were not medically
necessary. But the billing patterns merit a
closer look, auditors said.
What we found in Californias Medicaid
program is very concerning. There were a
number of dentists with extremely unusual
behavior, which points to some real vulnerabilities in the care being provided to children, deputy regional inspector general
Meridith Seife said in a statement.
Its the latest scrutiny of dental care provided to children covered under Medicaid,

Gerald William Burger

the federal-state program for the poor and

disabled. Federal health auditors in recent
years found questionable billing among
dental providers in North Carolina, Indiana,
Louisiana, Texas and New York.
The California report focused on dentists
and orthodontists serving at least 50 children who billed Medicaid in 2012 for work
such as fillings, extractions, stainless steel
crowns and baby root canals. While extreme
outliers made up a small percentage of dentists studied, they provided care to about a
third of the children served.

Procedures per day

Among the findings: Two-thirds claimed an
extremely large number of procedures per day,
including one dentist who billed for more
than 1,000 services per day on 97 different
days. Nineteen dentists received unusually
high payments per child. One dentist routinely gave patients multiple steel crowns and
performed other procedures. Half worked for
dental chains. A dozen were investigated by
the state dental board.
Their identities were not released, but federal investigators planned to forward names
to the state to follow up.
In an accompanying response to the
report, the California Department of Health
Care Services said it will step up monitoring to better identify providers with questionable billing and take action if needed.

Billing errors
The California Dental Association supports the federal effort and works with the
state to ensure that the billing process is
clear to dentists in an effort to prevent
billing errors, spokeswoman Alicia
Malaby said in a statement.

Obituary

Gerald Jerry William Burger passed away in his sleep on May 7, 2015 in Belmont, CA.
Born in Cheyenne, Wyoming on September 18, 1923, Jerry is survived by his daughter, Debra
Burger of Santa Clara, CA. He was 91 years young.
Jerry served in the US Navy from 1941 to 1950. He participated in a special mission to Asia to
deliver planes to the French during WWII. He came back to the states and married his wife, Hattie
E. Burger in 1950 and they relocated to Belmont, California in 1952. They were married for 37
years until her death in November 1987. His early career was as a watchmaker in Denver, CO and
then worked for United Airlines at SFO for 37 years as a machinist.
He loved to travel the backroads of the United States in his camper and pursue his skindiving and shing interests. Later on, he picked up an interest in hunting and skeet shooting,
reminiscent of his younger years in Wyoming. He pursued a woodworking hobby and made boats,
furniture and duck decoys during his retirement years.
He was always one to start up a conversion with people. Friends, young and old, would often stop
by the garage while he was working on something to visit awhile. He was a beloved husband and
father and will be remembered with love and affection.
A memorial service will be scheduled at a later date.

SAN FRANCISCO Hundreds turned out

for a family support picnic held for a

the subject of heated debate over policy
changes for Catholic high school teachers.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported
Sunday that that San Francisco Archbishop
Salvatore Cordileone posed for photographs, blessed the faithful and accepted the
gratitude of the picnickers gathered in a city
park.
The archbishop has been the target of

Spending tops $7 million in nasty Senate contest

By Juliet Williams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO A special
election Tuesday for state Senate
is being pitched as a decision
about who represents real
Democratic values: the state lawmaker and former teacher endorsed
by the California Democratic
Party, or the Orinda mayor and
longtime adviser to Democratic
Gov. Jerry Brown.
The answer has ripples beyond
the east San Francisco Bay Area
Senate district Assemblywoman
Susan Bonilla and political consultant Steve Glazer are vying to
represent. The contest has become
a high-stakes game between
wealthy organized labor and big
business groups that have funneled most of the more than $7
million spent so far into nasty,
name-calling campaigns.
At the heart of the ght is
labors ongoing fury against
Glazer after he worked for a

Chamber
of
Commercefunded committee in 2012 to
unseat incumbent Democrats
in
the
Legislature and
replace them
with Democrats Susan Bonilla
co n s i dered
friendly to business interests.
Now, union-backed interests
including the powerful California
Teachers Association, the State
Council of Service Employees and
a billionaire environmentalist
have put a total of $2.6 million
into a committee opposing
Glazer, with mailers and attack ads
asking Is he for sale?
The question refers to the nearly
$1. 5 million in independent
spending made on Glazers behalf
by wealthy Los Angeles developer
Bill Bloomeld.
Glazers agenda: Cutting public schools to pay for tax cuts for

State brief
District moves toward buying desalinated water
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif. (AP) Faced with the ongoing drought, Orange County water officials have moved
toward buying water from a proposed desalination plant.
The Orange County Water District, which covers most of
northern Orange County, approved a term sheet to negotiate a 50-year contract to buy water from a plant proposed by
Poseidon Water.

B l o o m e l d,
says one ad.
There are 15
separate committees set up
to defeat him.
The attacks
Steve Glazer a g a i n s t
Bonilla
are
equally brutal, accusing her of
being scally irresponsible,
allowing predatory teachers to
stay in the classroom and taking
lavish junkets paid for by special
interests.
Think about it. Is this the
behavior you want from your state
senator? asks one ad.
The candidates have no say in
virtually all of the attacks being
launched. The ads are funded by
outside groups that cannot coordinate with the candidate campaigns
an example of the growing
inuence of wealthy special interests in California politics.

This is actually a perfect example of how campaigns have been

taken away from the candidates
and they are now in the hands of
special interests, the interests
that are running the independent
expenditures. Thats a sea change
in California politics, said Katie
Merrill, a Bay Area Democratic
political consultant who has previously done work for Bonilla.
Both candidates have urged voters to throw out the iers cramming their mailboxes.
Its
deeply
frustrating,
Bonilla said. I believe most voters prefer making their decision
based on the reality and the real
facts of what the candidates have
already accomplished.
She has authored legislation to
help beginner teachers, allow
local governments to shut down
illegal massage businesses and
brokered a deal last year requiring
ride-sharing companies to carry
more insurance.
Ironically, both candidates have

pitched themselves as moderates

in the mold of Brown, who has
pushed scal restraint since he
returned to Sacramento after
Glazer ran his campaign in 2010.
Bonilla, of Concord, notes that
she is a member of the ruling
partys moderate caucus and bills
herself as business friendly,
though labor unions are her
biggest backers in the general
election race.
Glazer angered those groups further when he called for a ban on
transit strikes as Bay Area Rapid
Transit workers threatened a walkout. Unions spent heavily to
defeat Glazer when he ran for
Assembly last year, leading to a
Republican win in a district where
Democrats held a registration
edge.
This time, Glazer is appealing
to the nearly 29 percent of voters
in the district who are Republican
and the 22 percent who are independents. Democrats have nearly
44 percent registration.

Nine dead from biker gang shootout

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WACO, Texas Nine people were

killed Sunday and some others injured
after a shootout erupted among rival
biker gangs at a Central Texas restaurant, sending patrons and bystanders
fleeing for safety, a police spokesman
said.
The violence erupted shortly after
noon at a busy Waco marketplace
along Interstate 35 that draws a large
lunchtime crowd. Waco police Sgt. W.
Patrick Swanton said eight people died
at the scene of the shooting at Twin
Peaks restaurant and another person at
a hospital. Its not immediately clear if
bystanders are among the dead.
Others were injured, Swanton said,
but just how many and the severity of
those injuries was not known.
There are still bodies on the scene
of the parking lot at Twin Peaks, he

said. There are bodies that are scattered throughout the parking lot of the
next adjoining business.
A photo from the scene showed
dozens of motorcycles parked in a lot.
Among the bikes, at least three people
wearing what looked like biker jackets
were on the ground, two on their backs
and one face down. Police were standing a few feet away in a group. Several
other people also wearing biker jackets were standing or sitting nearby.

Rival gangs
Swanton said police were aware in
advance that at least three rival gangs
would be gathering at the restaurant
and at least 12 Waco officers in addition to state troopers were at the
restaurant when the fight began.
When the shooting began in the
restaurant and then continued outside,
armed bikers were shot by officers,

Swanton said, explaining that the

actions of law enforcement prevented
further deaths.

Tensions simmered
Its not known what triggered the
violence but Swanton and McLennan
County District Attorney Abel Reyna
said tensions had simmered among
rival gangs for months.
Apparently the management (of
Twin Peaks) wanted them here and so
we didnt have any say-so on whether
they could be here or not, Swanton
said.
Attempts to contact Twin Peaks for
comment were not immediately successful.
The fight inside the restaurant began
when punches were thrown and it
quickly escalated to include chains and
knives before firearms were drawn,
Swanton said.

States saying no to city laws

By David A. Lieb
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.

Alarmed about cities trying to outlaw plastic bags, the director of
the Missouri Grocers Association
decided to do something about it.
So Dan Shaul turned to his state
legislator himself and guided
a bill to passage barring local
governments from banning the
bags.
Shauls dual role in state government and business may be a bit
out of the norm. Yet his actions
are not. In capitols across the
country, businesses are increasingly using their clout to back
laws prohibiting cities and counties from doing things that might
affect their ability to make
money.
In the past five years, roughly a
dozen states have enacted laws
barring local governments from

requiring businesses to provide paid sick

leave to employees. The number
of states banning local minimum wages has
grown to 15.
And while oilrich states such
as Texas and
Oklahoma are pursuing bills banning local restrictions on
drilling, other states where agriculture is big business have been
banning local limitations on the
types of seeds sown for crops.
It seems no issue is too small
for businesses to take to capitol
halls.
Wisconsin has banned local
bans on sugary drinks. Arizona
and Florida have barred local governments from forbidding toys in
fast-food meals. And Utah has

barred cities from requiring bicyclists to be served in drive-thru

lanes.
In each case, states have stepped
in after city officials somewhere
in the nation proposed local policies that business leaders didnt
like. Businesses have warned lawmakers that a potential patchwork
of local regulations could be bad
for the economy.
We need to give companies and
businesses some predictability
and some consistency in their
operations so that they can grow,
said Shaul, a freshman Republican
representative from the St. Louis
suburb of Imperial, whose antibag ban measure is pending before
Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon.
Environmental activists in
Columbia, who pushed for the ban
on single-use plastic bags at grocery stores, were jolted by the
state intervention.
I was horrified, just really

demoralized, when the legislation passed, said Sierra Club member Jan Dye. They just want to
remove local control.
The Missouri bill goes beyond
plastic bags. It also would also
prohibit local governments from
requiring businesses to provide
employees paid sick leave, vacation or health, disability and
retirement benefits. And it would
block cities and counties from
adopting their own living wage
requirements.
States have pre-empted some
local policies for decades. A movement to restrict local gun ordinances began in 1971, for example, and has been enacted as law in
45 states, according to the
National Rifle Association. State
lawmakers in Oklahoma and
Michigan this year are pushing
similar measures for knives.
Some experts trace a rise in
states pre-empting local ordi-

nances to the 2010 elections,

when Republicans won control of
25 legislatures and 29 governors
offices. Republicans have expanded their power since then and now
hold complete control of three
times as many legislatures and
governors offices as Democrats.
In some cases, those new
Republican officeholders have
received generous financial support from business interests.
Shaul, for example, got about onequarter of his contributions for his
2014 campaign from people and
organizations affiliated with the
food industry. In other instances,
business lobbyists have simply
found a more sympathetic ear in
GOP legislatures.
The fights over economic policy have overwhelmingly shifted
to the states away from the federal government, said Gordon Lafer,
a political scientist at the
University of Oregon.

Will death make Tsarnaev a

martyr? Experts: It depends
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON
Does putting Boston
Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to
death make him a martyr for the cause?
Some analysts worry that Tsarnaevs
eventual execution could inspire more
attacks. But others, including Islamic leaders, say no: Tsarnaev was more of a lone
wolf with a low profile among radical
jihadists and no known links to the Islamic
State group, al-Qaida or other influential
terror organizations.
It will take years, possibly decades, of
appeals before Tsarnaev sentenced
Friday by a federal jury in Boston to death
by lethal injection is executed.
The martyrdom question surfaced during
his trial for his role in the 2013 attack that
killed three spectators and wounded more
than 260 others near the marathon finish
line. Tsarnaevs defense had argued for life
imprisonment as a better option because it
offered no martyrdom; prosecutors insisted he had a chance to die as a martyr during
a firefight with police trying to capture him
but instead hid in a boat.

Yet the notes Tsarnaev scrawled inside

that boat condemned U. S. actions in
Muslim countries and asked Allah to make
him a shaheed, or martyr.
Matthew Levitt, a former FBI counterterrorism intelligence analyst and now a terrorism expert at The Washington Institute,
said the death sentence will resonate differently around the world.
Are jihadists going to look to him as
some kind of martyr figure? The answer is
likely yes. To a certain extent they already
do, said Levitt, who testified for the prosecution at Tsarnaevs trial.
Nicholas Burns, a professor of diplomacy
and international relations at Harvards
Kennedy School of Government, cautions
against underestimating Tsarnaevs influence among hard-liners bent on using violence and a life sentence would have
tamped that down.
Tsarnaev is a criminal and a terrorist
responsible for one of the most reprehensible attacks in Bostons history, he said. I
do fear that the death penalty could cause
some Islamic terrorist groups to paint him
as a martyr.

despite intensified U. S. -led
airstrikes.

REUTERS

Displaced Sunni people fleeing the violence in the city of Ramadi arrive at
the outskirts of Baghdad Saturday.

With defeat looming, Prime

Minister Haider al-Abadi ordered
security forces not to abandon
their posts across Anbar province,
apparently fearing the extremists
could capture the entire desert
region that saw intense fighting
after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion
to topple dictator Saddam
Hussein.
Sundays retreat recalled the collapse of Iraqi security forces last
summer in the face of the Islamic

State groups blitz into Iraq that

saw it capture a third of the country, where it has declared a
caliphate, or Islamic State. It also
calls into question the Obama
administrations hopes of relying
solely on airstrikes to support the
Iraqi forces in expelling the
extremists.
Earlier Sunday, al-Abadi ordered
Shiite militias to prepare to go
into
the
Sunni-dominated
province, ignoring U.S. concerns
their presence could spark sectarian bloodshed. By late Sunday, a
large number of Shiite militiamen
had arrived at a military base near
Ramadi, apparently to participate
in a possible counter-offensive,
said the head of the Anbar provincial council, Sabah Karhout.

Kerry talks cyber issues in S.Korea Officials: Saudi-led coalition

By Matthew Lee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEOUL, South Korea U.S.

Secretary of State John Kerry is in
South Korea where he will be discussing security issues amid fresh
fears of North Korean belligerence
and delivering a speech on cyber
policy.
Kerry arrived in Seoul on Sunday
from Beijing and will see top
South Korean officials on
Monday, less than a week after
South Koreas spy agency said
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un
ordered his defense chief executed
with an anti-aircraft gun for complaining about the young ruler,
talking back to him and sleeping

during a meeting Kim presided

over.
That allegation, if true, adds to
concerns about the erratic nature
of Kims rule, particularly after
Pyongyang claimed last weekend
it had successfully test-fired a
newly developed ballistic missile
from a submarine.
Those actions come despite a
recent U.S. diplomatic overture to
North Korea to discuss resuming
denuclearization talks that have
been stalled for the past three
years. The U.S. quietly proposed a
meeting with North Korea in
January, before the U.S. and South
Korea began annual military exercises that North Korea regards as a
provocation. The two sides, how-

ever, failed to agree on who could

meet and where.
In light of the new developments, Kerry plans to reiterate
Americas ironclad commitment to
the security of South Korea, U.S.
officials said.
On Saturday in Beijing, Kerry
expressed hope that the successful
conclusion of a nuclear deal with
Iran will send a positive message
to North Korea to restart negotiations on its own atomic program.
Kerry said he believed an Iran
agreement could have a positive
influence on North Korea,
because it would show that giving
up nuclear weapons improves
domestic economies and ends isolation.

airstrikes resume in Yemen

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANAA, Yemen Saudi-led

coalition airstrikes targeting
Shiite rebels resumed early
Monday in the southern port city
of Aden after a five-day truce came
to a close following talks on the
war-torn countrys future that were
boycotted by the rebels.
Coalition airstrikes hit rebel
positions and tanks in several
neighborhoods of Aden after the
cease-fire expired at 11 p.m. on
Sunday, Yemeni security officials
said, speaking on condition of
anonymity because they were not

authorized to speak to the media.

The cease-fire hadnt halted all
fighting in Yemen between the
Shiite rebels, known as Houthis,
and government forces loyal to
exiled President Abed Rabbo
Mansour Hadi.
Earlier Sunday, hundreds of
Yemeni politicians and tribal leaders gathered in Saudi Arabia for
three days of talks on Yemens
future, but the Houthis refused to
participate.
The Shiite rebels reject the main
aim of the talks the restoration
of Hadi, who fled the country in
March in the face of rebel advances.

Smoking ban exemption is discriminatory

By Bill Schwarz

oster City reviews its ordinances six months after passage. Our council unanimously
(5-0) passed an amendment to the
smoking ban that exempted single
family residences from the smoking
ban ordinance in November 2014 and
is expected to and should review this
exemption this month or next.
In an effort to demonstrate how well
this exemption was thought through,
consider the following: Assume you
desire to walk down a sidewalk in
Foster City near housing units and
would like to comply with the ordinance. You are allowed to smoke on
the sidewalks when you pass singlefamily residences, but not when passing multi-family housing. It would
seem to comply with this ordinance,
you would either need to be an architect or research San Mateo property
ownership records. Otherwise how
could you be certain whether you were
passing an apartment, condominium,
townhome or other type of residence?
Not to mention how often you would
need to extinguish and relight your
cigarette, electronic cigarette or cigar.

Since there are few

receptacles, the
butts would be left
in the street or perhaps your pocket.
Another discriminatory aspect of
this exemption is
that patios, balconies and yards of
single-family residences are exempt
from the smoking ban, while being
banned in identical areas of multifamily dwellings. The reasoning offered
was that secondhand smoke can pass
through the wall, oors and ceilings
of multi-family residences more easily than secondhand smoke can waft
across the lawns or articial turf that
typically separate single-family residences. This in spite of Councilman
Herb Perezs observation that he could
smell secondhand smoke at his place
of business from a cigarette 500 feet
across a parking lot.
This exemption of single-family
residences is further discriminatory in
that it requires multiple-family residences to post signs not required of
single-family residences. Additional
costs may be incurred if specically
designated smoking areas are estab-

lished within multi-family complexes.

United Homeowners Associations
of Foster City was asked to contribute
to and comment on the ordinance. Our
single request was that all residents
and residences be treated equally and
we would support the proposed ordinance. Obviously, our request was
ignored or denied.
I respectfully request that the Foster
City Council reconsider and eliminate
this exemption from the smoking ban
by simply having the smoking ban
ordinance cover all residences within
our fair city.
Note that I may be pushing a stone
uphill as I understand that each of our
ve councilmen live in single-family
residences as dened by this ordinance. I use the term multi-family
dwellings for the ordinances condominiums and townhomes with shared
common walls, ventilation, oors or
ceilings.
Bill Schwarz is the president of the
United Homeowners Associations of
Foster City.

Letters to the editor

Central Park development
Editor,
With all of the housing development currently going on around San
Mateo and Foster City, its frustrating
to hear about new developments that
are only going to have a negligible
number of below market or affordable
units. Trans Worlds proposal for its
Central Park development (Central
Park development gets approval in
the May 14 edition of the Daily
Journal) cites only ve units out of a
total of 60 that will be available as
affordable. This type of development does not serve the best interests
of the existing community, especially when places like the Park Royal
are evicting tenants who would clearly benet from new, affordable housing solutions.
Jason Weesner
San Mateo

With the new construction and addition of jobs and, naturally, additional
housing seekers and/or commuters,
the answer stares back at us. Yet we
all cheer on the new jobs and construction from every city council
chamber and the Board of
Supervisors. Cant have it both ways,
folks.
The economy has rebounded to
something close to normal since the
banker/gamblers ran us into a ditch in
2008. The problem is weve overshot
it now. Perhaps enticing the developers and entrepreneurs to seek out
other places for their new jobs and
plants would be advisable. New or
added housing construction would
take years. This is denitely heresy
to most of us who always felt that
more is always better. Its similar to
what you see posted on every hot tub,
bar room and restaurant, that little
sign that lets you know what the
maximum occupancy deemed optimal
for that particular space really is.

Maximum occupancy
Editor,
Can we grow our way out of our
housing and congestion problems? It
seems pretty counterintuitive to me.

I cannot agree more with Chuck

Simmons and his letter to the editor
(in the May 12 edition of the Daily
Journal). I know so many people feel
the same exact way because I hear it
all the time in conversations. People
are tired of being told to let their gardens die because the city wants more
development. Is it that hard for the
cities to see what they are doing
wrong? Why do they just keep adding
to the population when we do not
have the water to support them? I
know we need the housing and the
jobs, but this needs to stop. We are in
a serious drought that does not need
to get worse because the city keeps
adding people to the water trough.
When the drought is over, or when it
is solved, then and only then we can
think about adding to our cities. Ive
said it once, and I will say it again: I
live in Redwood City by choice, and I
dont want to live in Los Angeles. If
you read this letter and you agree or
disagree, write your city or your local
paper and let them know how you feel
because that is the only way things

and shorter showers for all of us. Now add two more to the
list almonds and hamburgers.
Life without hamburgers is possible, but not without
almonds. They are an addiction and good for you. But now it
may be time to forgo the nuts. Almonds are on the top of the
list of water guzzlers in our
state. California agriculture
uses 80 percent of our water
supply and almond farms are
dominate at 10 percent. A
gallon of water is needed to
grow one almond. Just one
little almond. The amount of
water the states almond
growers use annually for
exports could supply Los
Angeles homeowners and
business for three years.
And they are not alone.
Alfalfa hay, a key ingredient
for grazing cows, is also a
super guzzler. Alfalfa plus
other forages such as irrigated pasture and corn thats
chopped into cattle feed and called silage uses between 10
percent to 15 percent of the states water. And like almonds,
much of the alfalfa is sent overseas, primarily to China
which has a growing herd of dairy cows to feed.
***
While Northern California may become slightly wetter in
the decades to come, at the same time temperatures are
expected to rise across the state. Hotter days cause more
evaporation and reduce snowpack. That will continue and
increase the risk of a severe long-term drought that could
rival or even exceed some of the ancient mega droughts,
according to a science story in The New York Times.
***
Just last week, we received a letter from Cal Water that we
have to reduce our use of water by 16 percent from what we
used in 2013. The company will be holding a meeting 5:30
p.m. May 20 at its ofce in San Mateo to discuss these new
regulations. Just one hour later on the very same day, the
city of San Mateo is organizing a Water Wise Home workshop for homeowners at the San Mateo Main Library. This
event will teach homeowners about simple plumbing alterations and smart landscape changes to create a sustainable
water supply with an ecologically productive landscape. The
event will focus on home improvement tools such as
reusing gray water, collecting rainwater and installing
waterless composting toilets that can transform home water
systems.
***
The good news is that it is possible to reduce your water
usage. But it takes a cooperative spirit, a willingness to
make changes and often an increase in costs. Fifteen years
ago, drought-stricken Santa Fe, New Mexico was running
out of water to ght res. It raised the price of water and
made the heaviest users pay three to four times more per gallon than the more efcient. And it worked. The citys water
consumption has dropped by a fth even though its population has increased more than 10 percent.
Santa Fe residents who really want to maintain a lush
green lawn or a deep swimming pool have the option of
paying $21.72 for each additional 1,000 gallons above the
base threshold. They also may see their names listed in the
local paper as the citys top water users.
But the city is willing to help, too. Residents who buy
low water washing machines get a $200 credit on their water
bill. As part of the permit process on new construction,
builders received credits which were then used by plumbers
to install free low-ow toilets in existing homes across the
city. More than 8,000 new toilets have been installed. And
the town is installing smart water meters that can alert consumers via text message when their water use spirals.
Our local water supplier, Cal Water, also features a list of
rebates, but none quite so generous as Santa Fe.
***
Muddying the waters is a recent ruling of a California state
appellate court panel that a tired pricing system (such as the
one in Santa Fe) used in Orange County may violate state
laws that prohibit local government from charging more for
services than they cost to provide. This will be appealed. In
the meantime, easy on the nuts and burgers.

Stem cell Wild West takes root

By Matthew Perrone
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEVERLY HILLS The liquid is dark red,

a mixture of fat and blood, and Dr. Mark
Berman pumps it out of the patients backside. He treats it with a chemical, runs it
through a processor and injects it into
the womans aching knees and elbows.
The soup, he says, is rich in shapeshifting stem cells magic bullets that,
according to some doctors, can be used to
treat everything from Parkinsons disease
to asthma to this patients chronic
osteoarthritis.
I dont even know whats in the soup,
says Berman. Most of the time, if stem
cells are in the soup, then the patients got
a good chance of getting better.
Its quackery, critics say. But its also a
mushrooming business and almost wholly unregulated.
The number of stem-cell clinics across
the United States has surged from a handful
in 2010 to more than 170 today, according
to figures compiled by The Associated
Press. Many of the clinics are linked in
large, for-profit chains. New businesses
continue to open; doctors looking to get
into the field need only take a weekend seminar offered by a training company.
Berman, a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon,
is co-founder of the largest chain, the Cell
Surgical Network. Like most doctors in the
field, he has no formal background in stem
cell research. His company offers stem cell
procedures for more than 30 diseases and
conditions, including Lou Gehrigs disease,
multiple sclerosis, lupus and erectile dysfunction.
There are clinics that market anti-aging
treatments; others specialize in stem-cell
facelifts and other cosmetic procedures.
The cost is high, ranging from $5,000 to
$20,000.
Berman and others point to anecdotal
accounts of seemingly miraculous recoveries. But while stem cells from bone marrow
have become an established therapy for a
handful of blood cancers and while there
are high hopes that the cells will someday
lead to other major medical advances critics say entrepreneurs are treating patients
with little or no evidence that what they do

is effective.
Or even safe. They point to one stem-cell
doctor who has had two patients die under
his care.
Its sort of this 21st century cutting-edge
technology, says Dr. Paul Knoepfler, a
stem cell researcher at the University of
California at Davis. But the way its being
implemented at these clinics and how its
regulated is more like the 19th century. Its
a Wild West.

Liquid gold
Doctors in South Korea and Japan pioneered the fat-based stem cell technique,
using it to supposedly enhance face lifts and
breast augmentation. For years, U. S.
patients would travel to hospitals in Asia,
Latin America and Eastern Europe places
where regulation is more lax than in the
United States to have these procedures as
part of the international stem cell tourism
trade.
Plastic surgeons in the U.S. quickly realized the financial potential of the fat they
were already taking out of patients bellies
and backsides through liposuction something that had been disposed of previously.
Berman calls it liquid gold.
Some early adopters have expanded into
chains, offering doctors across the country
a chance to join the franchise after buying
some equipment and attending a seminar.
These doctors sometimes appear on local
TV news broadcasts, drumming up new business from patients and stoking interest
from other doctors.
One national chain markets itself online
with accounts of celebrity athletes who
have been treated with its stem cell procedures. Prospective patients are then directed

States get heroin antidote

into hands of regular folks
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BUFFALO, N.Y. At the front of a classroom, health worker Cheryll Moore demonstrates the nod a jerk of the head forward and then quickly back a telltale sign
of heroin use, though not necessarily of an
overdose.
In that scenario, they can go either way,
she said. I would not leave them alone.
After an hour or so of instruction that
includes spotting signs of a life-threatening overdose, the class of ordinary people
couples, co-workers, parents, retirees
and others leaves with two vials of the
prescription heroin antidote naloxone, better known by its brand name, Narcan.
Its part of an effort to make naloxone
available to more people than just police,
paramedics and the addicts themselves.

Because of naloxones effectiveness in

nearly instantaneously bringing overdose
victims back from near-death, New York and
a handful of other states are making the lifesaving drug available to virtually anyone
willing to be trained to use it, hoping to
better the odds it will be there when needed.
Just in case, said casino worker Diane
Colby, as she left the class with her Narcan.
You never know when there could be an incident. You never can tell. Like some others in
the class, she said she doesnt know any
addicts, but wouldnt necessarily be surprised
to come across drug use where she works.
New York, California, Illinois, New
Mexico and Washington are among the
states that have passed laws to provide legal
protections for prescribers who work with
programs providing naloxone to laypeople.

to a call center, where sales representatives

try to match them with stem cell doctors
over the phone.
Berman spent over 30 years as a Beverly
Hills cosmetic surgeon before co-founding
the Cell Surgical Network in 2012. He and
his business partner, a urologist, adapted
equipment and techniques from Asia into a
liposuction-based procedure.
Today, the Cell Surgical Network is the
largest stem cell chain in the nation, with
67 locations and a roster of more than 100
doctors in 22 states. Doctors who join the
network generally charge about $9,000 per
procedure; they pay Berman and his partner
$25,000 to $30,000 for a South Korean
cell-separating machine and other equipment.
Stem cells have long been recognized for
their ability to reproduce and transform into
other cell types. Because of their ability to
repair and replace tissue, they are thought to
hold potential for treating many diseases
and injuries.
Embryonic stem cells are the most versatile because they have the ability to form all
the various cell types in the body, but their
use in medicine is considered controversial
by some because it involves the destruction
of human embryos.
Adult stem cells are less versatile, but can
be easily harvested from various tissues in
the body, including bone marrow and fat.
For decades, they have been routinely transplanted, first in bone marrow transplants
and then in procedures that transfer the cells
alone.
They have been useful in combatting
leukemia, lymphoma and other blood diseases, saving the lives of tens of thousands
of people each year.
The stem cell clinics, though, promise
results far beyond those currently considered prudent by mainstream medicine.
I think responsible professionals have a
broad consensus that marketing of these
unproven interventions is premature and
unprofessional, if not unethical, says Dr.
George Daley, a founding executive of the
Harvard Stem Cell Institute and professor at
Harvard Medical School
Julia Matsumoto, of Fountain Valley,
Calif., claims stem cell injections have
helped maintain her eyesight four years

after being diagnosed with chronic relapsing neuropathy, which causes inflammation
of the optic nerves and can lead to blindness.
Berman has treated her on a monthly
basis since 2012, free of charge, because
Matsumoto cannot afford repeat procedures.
Berman liposuctions fat from her abdomen
then processes it with a spinning centrifuge
machine and a drug, before filtering it and
infusing the mixture into an injection site
in Matsumotos chest.
Things were so vivid and bright literally
30 minutes after the stem cells were given
to me, Matsumoto says, recalling her first
treatment. I started crying on the way
home.
Such patient anecdotes are not considered
reliable medical evidence. And because stem
cell clinics have not published large, rigorous studies of their techniques, its virtually
impossible to evaluate their record of success.

Safety
Berman calls his business model
patient-funded research, and says he plans
to soon publish the results of a 1,000patient study demonstrating its safety. Cell
Surgical has hired consultants to follow up
with patients over the phone and survey
how they are feeling.
But Leigh Turner, a professor of bioethics
at the University of Minnesota, says charging patients to participate in medical
research is bizarre and unethical. He calls
the approach unauthorized, for-profit
human experimentation, and has asked the
Food and Drug Administration to investigate Berman, arguing that his business
amounts to selling unapproved, experimental drugs.
Some practitioners point to early-stage
laboratory and animal studies which have
been published in scientific journals. But
academics say such findings cannot be
applied to humans and dont provide criti cal i n fo rmat i o n ab o ut p o t en t i al s i de
effects like infections, tumors and blood
clots.
This field, sadly, is contaminated by lots
of poor-quality data that people are using to
move forward and actually treat patients,
says Daley, of Harvard Medical School.

Amtrak could pay no more than

$200 million to crash victims
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON For the first time,

Amtrak could face a $200 million payout to
train crash victims the limit set by
Congress. But that may be too low to cover
the costs of the eight lives lost and more
than 200 people injured in last weeks
derailment in Philadelphia.
That payout cap for a single passenger
rail incident was part of a late effort in 1997
to pass a law that would rescue Amtrak from
financial ruin and help it one day become
independent.
Adjusted for inflation, which the law does
not consider, that amount would be just
under $300 million now. And Amtrak is still
far from independent.
An Associated Press review of past cases
found that Amtrak never before has been
liable for a $200 million payout for a single
passenger rail incident. The Philadelphia

crash could be the first time the liability

ceiling designed specifically for Amtrak
would actually apply to the railroad.
Its not known how high the costs of victims deaths and injuries from Tuesdays
crash will run. The train, which left
Washington headed to New York, was moving at more than twice the speed allowed on
a curve when it derailed not long after it
stopped at Philadelphias 30th Street
Station. Investigators havent determined
why the train was traveling so fast.
On Friday, an Amtrak employee filed the
first lawsuit, asking for more than
$150,000 in damages. Amtrak employees
are not limited by the $200 million cap
because it only applies to passengers.
I dont think Amtrak has ever faced a situation like this, and since they own the
Northeast Corridor, theyre 100 percent on
the hook, said Frank Wilner, author of the
book, Amtrak: Past, Present, Future.

Lady Bulldogs fall in state title game

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

For all the history made by the Lady

Bulldogs this season, the final chapter was
not the conclusion they had hoped to write.
Palomar College was the last team
standing in the California Community
College Athletic Association State
Softball Championships, as the Comets
won their fifth all-time state title.
College of San Mateo took Palomar to the
limit, advancing through the losers

bracket to reach championship Sunday.

Needing to defeat the Comets twice in the
championship round, the Bulldogs won
Sundays opener 2-1 to force a winner-takeall finale. But Palomar rode the right arm of
freshman Summer Evans to a 5-1 victory in
the nightcap to capture the title.
CSM faced Palomar three times in the double-elimination tourney and it was Evans
who pitched all three. The right-hander held
CSMs state-leading offense in check, holding the Bulldogs to just four runs (two
earned) through 20 innings.

In Sundays first game, Evans held CSM

scoreless through five innings. But the
Bulldogs rallied for two runs in the bottom
of the sixth to take a 2-1 lead. Lelani Akai
produced the big swing of the bat with a
two-run single to give her starting pitcher
Lauren Berriatua all the lead shed need.
Berriatua yielded just one unearned run
on one hit in recording her 29th victory of
the season. And the sophomore right-hander opened the second game just as tough.
After the two teams traded first-inning
runs, each via wild pitches, Berriatua set

down 11 straight Comets batters.

In the fifth, however, Palomar sophomore Stephanie Koishor opened the frame
with a single to open the door for a two-run
rally. Palomar added single runs in the sixth
and seventh.
After entering the tourney with an undefeated 40-0 record, the Bulldogs finishes the
season at 43-2. They twice downed Cypress,
first in Fridays opener 4-3, and again in
Saturdays elimination game 4-2. The two
wins are CSMs first ever in the state-championship tournament.

with 69 points.
It was Gayers strong finish that cinched
the victory. Not only did the senior produce
a remarkable win in the 3,200, overtaking
Sequoia junior Sophie Walton down the
final straightaway for a top time of
11:38.39. Gayer returned minutes later to
run the anchor leg of the 4x400 relay.
Prior to the relay finale, Mills led M-A by
three points in the team standings. And
while the Vikings grinded out a third-place
finish with a time of 4:18.14, MenloAtherton could have claimed the three-peat
with a first-place finish, but Burlingame

CINCINNATI Getting back to basics is

working for Brandon Belt and the San
Francisco Giants.
Belt homered for the third time in three
games, Nori Aoki drove in three runs and the
San Francisco Giants
beat the Cincinnati Reds
9-8 Sunday after nearly
wasting a five-run lead.
Im seeing the ball
well, said Belt, who
drove in seven runs as the
Giants won three straight
after losing the series
Brandon Belt opener. I had a couple of
games where I had some
hiccups, but Im getting back to what I do
best seeing the ball.
Hunter Pence homered in his second game
back from a broken forearm. The World
Series champions won three straight games
in Cincinnati for the first time since 2005
and at 20-18 moved two games over .500 for
the first time since they were 3-1. The
Giants had 16 hits, matching their season
high, and outscored opponents 44-21 on a
six-game trip.
Thats what happens when youve got
four or five guys swinging the bat well,
Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. This is a
little bit more like who we are. Were going
to be more consistent than we were early in
the season.
San Francisco built a 6-1 lead but the Reds
closed within a run in the third after their first
six batters reached against Chris Heston.

Mills sweeps PAL finals

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Mills magic was in the air at the

Peninsula Athletic League Track and Field
Championships.
Not only did the Mills boys repeat as
champs of the PAL finals with a convincing
108 points, the Lady Vikings rode a strong
finish from distance runner Sarah Gayer to
claim the girls title with 110 points for the
varsity sweep Saturday at Westmoors
Powell Stadium.
It marks the first time the Mills girls have
won the PAL finals title since the meets
modern incarnation of 1996. It also marks

the first time a school has swept both varsity titles since Burlingame did so in 2009.
The Mills girls set the tone in the field
events with a big day from Caroline
Trevithick. The senior won first place in
both the triple jump with a distance of 35
feet, 6 inches and the long jump with a distance of 16-8 inches. She also took second
place in the girls 100-meter hurdles and
fourth in the 300 hurdles to total 32 points
for the Vikings.
But the Mills girls eeked out the slightest
of victories, overcoming two-time defending champion Menlo-Atherton as the Lady
Bears finished just one back with 109
points. Burlingame finished in third place

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Top-seed San Joaquin Delta rattled off two

straight wins to eliminate College of San
Mateo in the best-of-three Northern
California sectional baseball playoffs.
The No. 5-seed Bulldogs won Fridays
opener 8-2 their 30th win of the year
before falling Saturday
8-5 and Sunday 7-2 at
Delta College. Woodside
alum Brad Degnan went
6 for 12 for CSM
through the series.
That was a quality team
we went up against,
Delta catcher Collin
Brad Degnan Theroux said. They definitely made us earn it all.
Sundays finale was deadlocked 1-1 after
five innings, but with Sequoia alum Cameron
Greenough on in relief for CSM, Delta rallied
for five runs to take the lead for good.
Greenough worked 5 1/3 innings, yielding seven runs (three earned) on eight hits
to take the loss. His record falls to 1-3.
Delta starting pitcher Rick Delgado worked
6 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on eight
hits while striking out seven to earn the
win. His record improves to 9-0.
With the win, Delta advances to the state
championship beginning Saturday in Fresno
City. Fresno City also advanced out of Nor
Cal with a sweep of Feather River. Orange

OAKLAND Jeff Samardzija spent the

first two days of the series catching up with
old friends. He spent the last day making
trouble for them.
Avisal Garcia hit a two-run homer, Alexei
Ramirez had two hits and two RBIs, and
Samardzija pitched eight strong innings to
help the White Sox beat the As 7-3 Sunday for
their first series sweep in Oakland in 18 years.
Jose Abreu and Gordon Beckham also
drove in runs for the White Sox, who won
their sixth straight and reached .500 for the
first time this season.
Max Muncy hit his first major league
home run, a two-run shot in the fourth, as
the As lost their fourth straight.
Samardzija (3-2) allowed three runs and
eight hits. He walked three and struck out
enth and eighth innings.
Anthony DeSclafani
(2-4) gave up six runs,
six hits and three walks
in three innings. He
needed 41 pitches to get
through the Giants fourrun second inning, which
was interrupted by a 24Hunter Pence minute rain delay.
Belt finished had three
hits, including an eighth-inning homer off
Jumbo Diaz . Aoki hit a two-run single that
capped a four-run single and drove in Brandon
Crawford with a squeeze bun in the seventh.
Cincinnati starters allowed 21 runs in 11
innings during the last three games of the
series, a 17.18 ERA that left manager Bryan
Price searching for answers.
There are a lot of balls in the air right

five in his return to

Oakland, where he made
16 starts for the As last
year.
Scott Kazmir (2-2) left
with one out in the fifth
after giving up five runs

hits. He walked three and
Jeff Samardzija struck out six.
Kazmirs fielding error
in the first led to Chicagos first run.
Ramirezs two-run single in the fifth ticked off
Kazmirs glove and deflected into left field.
The As committed four errors, increasing
their major league lead to 42. They have
made at least one error in each of their last
14 games, 21 overall, the clubs longest
streak since a 17-game span in May 1982.

Braves Miller losses no-no in 9th

MIAMI Shelby Millers no-hit bid
ended with two out in the ninth inning
Sunday when Justin Bour singled sharply up
the middle. The Braves right-hander pitched
a two-hitter in a 6-0 win over the Marlins.
Miller walked one and benefited from an early
replay reversal to flirt with what would have
been the Braves first no-hitter in 21 years.

Can Marriage Exist Between

Science And Religion?

By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE

Some say that

science and religion
dont mix. Some
say that science is
the ultimate search
for God. Some say
religion supersedes
science, some say both have equal stature
and others say both are hogwash. Everyone
has their own personal assessment of the
correlation between scie
nce and religion.
The aspiration of religion along with the
aspiration of science is to explain the
universe and answer ques
tions about life, in
addition to satisfying human psychological
needs when dealing w
ith the realities of
death. Religion is based on faith, science is
based on observation, and both are based on
human curiosity and the need to nd
answers. Whether a person is repetitively
reading religious scripture, or fascinated by
repeatable scientic experimentations, both
are searching for methods that answer
questions about the un
iverse around us.
Way way back early humans turned to
religion as a way to alleviate their fears and
gain reassurance with the concept of life
after death. This helped to give them a
sense of order in a confusing world that
often seemed mysterious.
Eventually
scientic realization evolved along side
religion and the process of trial and error
established itself as a way to solve some of
these mysteries. Firethe wheelfarming.
The more humans observed the world they
lived in, the more they leaned how the
natural world worked and how they could
manipulate it to their advantage. Over the
centuries religious power came at odds with
scientic discovery, which led to a period of

scientic stagnation: The Dark Ages.

Later at the dawn of The Renaissance
science was again embraced leading to great
advances in art, architecture, medicine,
astronomy and other natural sciences. Over
the ages science and religion have been
evolving together on a roller coaster ride of
acceptance, denial and equilibrium.
We now appear to be at a crossroads
where religion is not only viewing science
with an evaluative broadmindedness, but is
exploring hand in hand with scientic
processes. One prime example is the
Vaticans
Pontical
Academy
of
Sciences. Quoting John Paul II: ...today
eminent scientists are members a visible
sign of the profound harmony that can
exist between the truths of science and the
truths of faith.... Gregor Mendel, the father
of Genetics, was an Augustinian Friar.
Georges Lemaitre, who developed much of
the Big Bang Theory, was a Jesuit priest.
Recently, Pope Francis, who has a Masters
Degree in Chemistry, insisted that there is
no reason to believe that science and God
are incompatible.
With all this in mind, every human being
is unique as a ngerprint, and every human
brain has its own unique consciousness.
Whether you analyze with your religious cap
or your science cap, matrimony between the
two could be found by looking inward. So,
close your eyes, examine your deep
thoughts, and you may detect a rational
enlightenment nely attuned to both.

funeral matters or want to make preplanning arrangements please feel free to

on the final straightaway of the girls 3,200-meter to win gold.
Above: Burlingames Jack Phillips soars to victory in the boys high jump.The
senior topped out at 6 feet, 7 inches, one inch shy of his personal record.
Top right: Sequoias Eduardo Barrera holds off the field for gold in the boys
400-meter dash. The senior also took first place in the boys 200.
Bottom right: Jefferson senior Devyn Morris legs out the final jump

TRACK
Continued from page 11
surged late to overtake the Bears on the third
leg just moments after Mills senior Ty
Harames moved into third place. Then
Burlingame senior Alex Seniff put the victory away for the Panthers with a 4:05.59.
The Burlingame win knocked M-A into second place in the 4x400 relay to give the meet
championship to Mills.
I was ecstatic, Mills head coach Tim Tuff
said. As a Mills coach, I have a hard time
cheering for Burlingame because they are
local rivals. I had a hard time believing it
could actually come down to the [4x400], that
we could actually have a shot at it. So, when
[Harames] got the baton into third place and
[Gayer] ran so well to hold on, it was a great
feeling.
Mills had a number of contributions in the
field events. In addition to Trevithicks 32
points, Julia Gibbs totaled 14 points. The
junior took first place in the girls discus with
a top throw of 122 feet, 8 inches. Westmoors
Tiara Cobbins took second with a 101-10
while Mills junior Tulouna Langi took third
with a 99-7 and Mills senior Nabeela Rizvi
took fourth with a 97-10.
Gibbs also placed fourth in the girls shot
put with a throw of 34 feet, one-half inch.
Westmoor junior Saka Tagoai took first
place with a 37-08 1/2, Langi of Mills took
second with a 37-2 and Cobbins took third
with a 34-03.
Mills senior Erica Chew produced a surprise
second-place finish behind Trevithick in the
girls long jump with a distance of 15 feet, 5
1/4 inches. And in the girls triple jump,
Naomi Yung placed third for Mills with a 3110 3/4.

Adkins paced Mills boys

For the Mills boys, the championship was
not nearly as dramatic. The Vikings scored a
commanding 108 points, topping secondplace Carlmonts 66-point performance.
Woodside claimed third place with 62 points.
The Vikings were nails in the field events
as well. Paced by three-sport senior standout
Marquis Adkins, Mills placed in every field
event with the exception of the pole vault.
Adkins took first place in the long jump
with a distance of 21 feet, 8 inches. He
topped Aragon senior Ty Stokman in second
with a 21-6 3/4, Woodside junior Semanu
Attiogbe with a 21-05 1/2 and M-A sophomore Marquise Reid with a 20-10 3/4. Mills
juniors Nathan Chau and Kaito Miyake took
fifth and sixth place, respectively, to score
points as well.
Adkins also took second place in the boys

triple jump with a distance of 42 feet, 8 1/2

inches. Woodsides Attiogbe took first place
with a 44-09 1/4. In the high jump, Adkins tied
for fourth with teammate Marquez Bura with a
height of 5 feet, 7 inches. Half Moon Bay junior Ryan Staal took third place with a 5-9.

Phillips sores for Burlingame

It was Burlingame who stole the show in
the high jump though. The Panthers have
been a force in the event all season with star
senior Jack Phillips proving the best jumper,
by far, in the PAL this season.
The reigning PAL champion in the high
jump, Phillips gave a commanding performance to repeat with a best height of 6 feet, 7
inches. Burlingame senior Zack Baesler took
second place with a 5-9.
His start is better than my [personal
record], Baesler said.
Phillips was cruising along, refusing to
even take warm-up runs up until topping out
at 6-7. As the senior left his feet while executing his final made jump of the meet, however, he hit a snag when he heard his shoe
tear. Despite trying to repair the malfunction
by wrapping his shoe with medical tape, it
cost traction on his attempt at 6-8, a height
he has nailed three times this season, including three weeks ago at Woodside.
I was feeling pretty good, Phillips said.
I feel like I could have got it until my shoe
ripped. But, excuses, excuses.
The 6-5 senior now has his sights set on the
Central Coast Section finals May 23 and 29.
He finished fourth place at last seasons CCS
finals to cap his first year competing in the
event. Previously, Phillips had been a basketball player, but decided to convert to track and
field after a sophomore varsity hoops season
in which he got little playing time.
Baesler teases his friend and teammate
about his nickname. They call Phillips Mad
Hop, a sardonic moniker stemming from his
lack of shooting ability to compliment his
serious vertical leap on the basketball court.
But the nickname has found a more sincere
meaning in the track and field ranks.

Barrera claims two golds

Sequoia senior Eduardo Barrera is another
sports convert, only his other experience is
on the gridiron. Barrera took first place in
two events, notching the top time in the 200
of 22.72 seconds. He previously took first in
the 400 with a 50.05.
Barrera played football at Sequoia since his
freshman season, but suffered a leg injury that
cost him his junior year. He merely joined the
track team last year as a means to rehab the
injury, but was such a splash he decided to
stick with it.
We were shocked at his talent, Sequoia
assistant coach Linda Shinshiro said. We
were like, where have you been?
Barrera set the tone Saturday in the 400 and
got out to a big lead. Going around the final
turn, however, his calf muscle tightened up

allowing San Mateos Aria Haghnia to close

the gap. But Barrera was able to exploit the
straightaway for the win.
Down the back stretch, I felt my right calf
starting to cramp, Barrera said. So, thats
what gave me a push at the end. But that was
just exhaustion.
Haghnia took second place with a 51.79
and Capuchino senior Tim Gee took third
place with a 52.15, edging Mills junior
Alexander Habash in fourth with a 52.18.

Morris motors through 100 hurdles

Jeffersons lone gold medal of the day was
produced by hurdler Devyn Morris. The senior
dueled with Aragon junior Kevin Arevalo and
Calmont senior Max Ware. But Morris fluid
mechanics down the stretch won the day.
I tried to stay low over the hurdles and over
the last one I just went all out, Morris said.
As a junior last season, Morris took fourth
place in the event, a finish he said he was
excited about. This one was even more exciting all the way around, as Arevalo took second
with a 16.35 and Ware took third with a 16.40.

Schoustra sweeps girls hurdles

Burlingame junior Mackenzie Schoustra
claimed gold in each the 100 and 300 hurdles,
both by healthy distances.
A former lacrosse midfielder at
Burlingame, Schoustra decided to tackle the
hurdles when her friends talked her into converting to track last season. Saturday she
was at the top of her game.
Schoustra started the day in the 100 hurdles
with a time of 15.94 seconds, topping
Trevithicks second-place finish of 16.50.
Then in the 300 she closed strong with a
46.13, topping Aragon junior Magali de
Sauvage at 47.97.
Just run your race, Schoustra said of the
secret of her success. So, I just tried to keep
my pace as steady as possible.

Ounadjela and Crowe go the distance

After taking third place in the boys 1,600
last year at the PAL Championships,
Carlmont senior Johain Ounadjela grabbed
two gold medals Saturday.
In the 1,600, Ounadjela led for the first two
laps until he was overtaken by M-A senior
Adam Scandlyn on the third. But Ounadjela
retook the lead on the final lap to cruise to a
first-place win with a time of 4 minutes,
21.06 seconds. Scandlyn took second with a
4:22.24 and Carlmont senior Owen Lee took
third with a 4:28.30.
It was supposed to be a workout with a
speed thing, but in the third lap, when he past
me, it scared me, Ounadjela said.
Ounadjela also took first place in the 3,200
with a time of 9:32.54, topping teammate
Michael Berekets second-place finish of
9:46.69. Westmoor senior Anwar Alghaithy
took third with a 9:53.41.
Scandlyn got his revenge in the 800
though, claiming gold with a time of 1:58.

Ounadjela took second place with a 1:58.17

and Burlingame junior Ben Williams took
third with a 1:59.07.
M-A junior Annalisa Crowe repeated as
champion in each the girls 800 and 1,600.
Her win in the 1,600 was a big one, finishing
with a 2:21.31. Mills Harames took second
with a 2:25.9 and Aragon sophomore Margot
Bellon took third with a 2:28.52.
Crowe preceded it by dueling with Gayer
down the final stretch of the 800, but was still
able to claim first a good margin of victory.
Crowe took gold with a 5:13.07. Gayer was
second with a 5:15.28, M-A junior Cat DePuy
took third with a 5:19.4 and M-A junior
Maddy Baier took fourth with a 5:21.88.
Crowe emerged from the traffic coming out
of the final turn, even though she got a little
tangled up.
I just wanted to win, Crowe said.
[Someones] foot hit me, so I knew I better
go. I usually have a kick on the last lap. I
think it was one of my better runs.

Menlo girls claim WBAL title

Lizzie Lacy claimed two golds and two silvers to pace the Menlo girls to the team title
Saturday at the West Bay Athletic League
Finals at Sacred Heart Prep.
Lacy took first place in the girls 1,600meter with a time of 4:58.63. She also
anchored the win in the 4x100 relay as the
Knights cruised to first with a 50.12. The senior also took silver in the 800 with a 2:23.77
as well as the 3,200 with a 11:06.49.
The Knights also saw Elisa Merten turn in a
big day. The senior took gold in the 100 hurdles with a 16.72. She also won silver in the
300 hurdles with a 48.47.
Notre Dame-San Jose took second place
with 100 points, Mercy-SF took third with
45, Sacred Heart Prep took fourth with 40,
Crystal Springs Uplands took fifth with 39
and Mercy-Burlingame took sixth with 36.
In the boys final, The Kings Academy took
first place with 153 points, edging Sacred
Heart Prep with 150. Crystal Springs took
third with 60, Woodside Priory fourth with 32
and Menlo fifth with 29.
In West Cahtolic Athletic League
Championships, Serra took second place in
the boys finals with 114 points, finishing
back of powerhouse Bellarmine with 206.
Padres junior Armon Plummer won gold in
the 300 hurdles with a time of 40.05. In the
triple jump, junior Jordan Kenison won gold
with a distance of 45 feet, 2 1/4 inches, topping teammate Marcus Alvarez, who took silver with a 44-2.

Serras Kmak Surging Rockets down Clippers, advance to Western finals

wins CCS title
in 100 breast
By Kristie Rieken

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Serra senior swimmer Joe Kmak has been

on a collision course with destiny for four
varsity seasons. When he touched the wall at
Saturdays Central Coast
Section Swimming and
Diving Championships to
cap his signature event in
the 100-yard breaststroke,
he met said destiny.
Last year, Kmak set the
all-time Serra record in the
100 breast with a time of
55 minutes, 9 seconds at
Joe Kmak
the CCS finals; yet he
failed to win the event, placing second to then
St. Francis senior Curtis Ogren. This year,
Kmak took first place with a time of 55.05.
His prelim time of 54.92 was even better.
With his time in the finals, Kmak automatically qualifies for a fourth consecutive AllAmerican nod. His younger brother Michael
Kmak took fourth in the event with a 57.98.
The Padres finished eighth overall as a
team out of 41 schools. Bellarmine took first
place with 292 points. Gunn took second and
Paly third. Serra totaled 86 points.
Theyre pretty happy about what they
did, Serra senior diver Erik Clark said.
Theyre happy about finishing top 10.
Serra freshmen Riley Scanlan and Kyler
Jerome were the youngest varsity swimmers
to contribute points for the Padres. Scanlan
swam the anchor leg of the 200 medley relay
that finished ninth with a 1:37.85.
Jerome took 15th in the 1-meter diving
competition to earn two points.

HOUSTON The Houston Rockets are

heading to the Western Conference finals
for the first time in 18 years after overcoming a 3-1 series deficit to eliminate the Los
Angeles Clippers.
Its the ultimate confidence-booster,
James Harden said. Theres only a handful
of teams thats done that. We fought back.
We fought three really hard games and came
away with it.
Harden scored 31 points, Dwight Howard
had 16 points and 15 rebounds and the
Rockets never trailed in a 113-100 victory
over the Clippers on Sunday, sending them
to the conference finals for the first time
since 1997.
Its the ninth time in NBA history that a
team has overcome a 3-1 series deficit to
win a playoff series.
The Rockets overcame a 19-point thirdquarter deficit in Game 6 on Thursday night

to stay alive. No such

heroics were needed
Sunday when they were up
by 17 after three and
Howard opened the fourth
quarter with a 3-point
play to push it to 88-68.
When youre down 19
on the road, its easy to
James Harden give in and just say,
Maybe next year,
Harden said. But I think the injuries
throughout the entire year kind of made us
fight through adversity no matter what. We
always find a way to fight, and another case
was being down 3-1.
Blake Griffin scored five points in a 9-0
run to cut the lead to eight points with less
than 2 1/2 minutes remaining. Harden made
a pair of free throws after that, but a dunk by
DeAndre Jordan got the Clippers within
eight again. This time, Trevor Ariza hit a 3
from the corner to secure the victory.
Howard was nervous until Ariza hit the

Dixon claims Indy 500 pole,

breaks up Penske monopoly
By Michael Marot
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

INDIANAPOLIS Scott Dixon had a fourlap average of 226.760 mph in qualifying

Sunday to claim his second Indianapolis
500 pole.
Dixon, of Target Chip Ganassi Racing,
ended Team Penskes streak of eight straight
pole wins.
The New Zealander took the lead in the
first 25 minutes of action on the 2.5-mile
oval. He waited for 29 other drivers to take
their shot. None were faster.
Defending series champion, Will Power,
will start second in the May 24 race after
going 226.350. Simon Pagenaud will start

on the outside of Row 1

after going 226. 145.
Both drive for Penske.
It was a strange day at
Indy.
After Ed Carpenters car
went airborne in practice,
series officials took away
the extra power boost and
instructed drivers to run
Scott Dixon
in race trim.
The decision dropped qualifying speeds
significantly. Most expected it to take
an average between 233 and 234 to win
the pole. Instead, the pole was down
more than 4 mph from Carpenters top
seed in 2014.

final 3 and worried the Clippers might be

the ones to orchestrate an unlikely comeback this time.
Please, we cant let them pull an us on
us, Howard said he was thinking during
their late run.
Griffin had 27 points and Chris Paul had
26 points and 10 assists.
The Western Conference finals begin
Tuesday night at Golden State.
Ariza finished with 22 points and made
six 3-pointers.
After taking a two-game lead after four
games the Clippers looked destined to be
heading to the conference finals for the first
time in franchise history. But they failed in
all three chances to put Houston away and
are now left to ponder their collapse as they
head home early yet again.
Its disappointing, Griffin said. We
were close, but close doesnt really count.
Almost doesnt count. We were up 3-1 and
didnt put them away. We cant look at anybody but ourselves.

Pitch Perfect 2 leaves Mad Max: Fury Road in the dust

By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES The ladies of

Pitch Perfect 2 hit all the right
notes opening weekend, amassing
a $70.3 million debut, according
to Rentrak estimates Sunday.
The Elizabeth Banks-directed
sequel to the 2012 sleeper hit and
video-on-demand phenomenon
cost Universal Pictures only $29
million to produce and was expected to open in the $50 million
range. The first film, for comparison, grossed only $65 million
domestically across its entire run.
Its
aca-awesome,
said
Universal Pictures President of
Domestic Distribution Nick
Carpou, using one of the catchphrases of the film about a cappella singing. We knew that the film
would be a success, but theres
something that happens when
movies grow in their success
beyond a range thats easily predictable. When that happens, the
skys the limit.
Audiences for the musical comedy starring Anna Kendrick and
Rebel Wilson were 75 percent
female and 62 percent under the
age of 25, according to Universal.
Carpou attributed some of the
massive success to savvy posi-

tioning and the widespread appeal

of the popular music and the
charismatic, diverse cast. He
noted that ads during the NBA
playoffs and a Super Bowl spot
helped to grow the films audience
base.
George Millers critically
acclaimed Mad Max: Fury Road
landed a distant second in its debut
weekend with a solid and expected
$44.4 million from 3,702 locations. The high-octane, postapocalyptic film cost a reported
$150 million to make and stars
Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy.
Although it cost significantly
more than Pitch Perfect 2 to produce and didnt come close to
matching its opening, Mad Max:

Continued from page 1
ing their water budget.
Some of those who must work
the hardest to adhere to Gov. Jerry
Browns mandates are Cal Waters
Bear Gulch customers residents
with large landscaped properties
in Atherton, Portola Valley,
Woodside as well as unincorporated parts of Menlo Park, the county
and a few rural communities along
Highway 35.
Bear Gulch customers must
reduce their 2013 water levels by
the states highest tier of 36 percent and have only conserved 11
percent over the last few years.
Second to Hillsborough residents,
Bear Gulch customers landed in the
top tier by using an average 252.5
gallons per day during summer
2014.
Other San Mateo County Cal
Water customers include those in
the Mid-Peninsula district, which
covers residents in San Mateo and
San Carlos who must reduce their
2013 consumption by 16 percent
and have already cut back 11 percent.

Dont be a waster
Residents in Cal Waters South
San Francisco District, which
serves South San Francisco,
Colma and some Daly City homes,
have met their 8 percent target but
are still subject to penalties and
must keep it up.

Cal Waters rules are similar to

those released by the State Water
Resources Control Board such as
prohibiting cars being washed
without a shut-off nozzle, using
potable water to clean driveways,
irrigating landscape more than
three days per week and in a manner that causes runoff as well as
irrigating outside newly constructed homes or buildings.
Schedule 14. 1 also outlines
penalties for wasting water or
going above ones water budget,
which is based on 2013 consumption.
For water waste, penalties
increase based on the number of
violations. A customer who
breaks the rules for the first time
will be issued a written notice and
may have a real-time water meter
installed. Second violations could
result in fees based on what
drought stage Cal Water is in, currently its implementing stage
two and could issue $50 fines.
Violating the rules for a third time
could result in a $100 ticket and
subsequent offenders could be
slapped with flow-restricting
devices.
Preferring education over penalization, Cal Water hopes to work
with customers by offering numerous rebate programs and even
devising individually tailored
conservation plans for those
struggling to make the cut.
We would be elated if we didnt
give one penalty. We really want
education to be the way we get
through this, Smithson said.
Through its water use efficiency

program, residents can also

request a free consultation with a
conservation expert who will go
to ones home and identify water
saving opportunities, Kingman
said.
Cal Water officials are hopeful
those in its Bear Gulch district,
whove made headlines as some of
the states highest water using residential consumers whove failed
to significantly cut back over the
last year, will take advantage of
the summer months by greatly
reducing their outdoor irrigation.
In 2013, I believe about 70
percent of our water usage was outdoors and thats low-hanging
fruit, thats stuff we can do,
Smithson said. People can probably reach their goals by just
investing in water efficiency landscaping and drip irrigation. And
their lawns wont necessarily need
to suffer. I think thats the first
step and its a great first step. I
think we can create a sustainable
lifestyle that works for everyone.

Budgeting use
Customers will be given a water
budget based on their 2013 use and
going over could result in immediate penalties. Bear Gulch and MidPeninsula consumers will be
charged an extra $10 for each unit
which equates to 748 gallons
they go above their budget.
South San Francisco district customers could receive an approximate $5. 65 drought surcharge,

Monday May 18, 2015

according to schedule 14.1.
In aiming to educate customers,
Cal Water plans to change billing
practices by not only measuring
use by units or ccf, one of which
equals 100 cubic feet or 748 gallons.
People dont realize how much
water they use and were going to
make this more available by representing their usage in gallons.
They may think I only used 10
units this month, but thats
748,000 gallons, Smithson said.
For health and safety purposes,
Cal Water will not require households to reduce below 6 ccfs,
which equals 448,800 gallons or
on average, about 55 gallons per
person per day, Smithson said.
Cal Water staff is currently
working to provide customers
with the ability to check what
their allotted water budgets online
and can expect it outlined on their
bills in the coming months,
Smithson said.
Like the state water boards
rules, Cal Water customers can
also roll over their savings from
month to month as they aim to
achieve their allotted conservation target.

The rules could tighten

As a utility with districts that
often cover multiple cities, Cal
Water is working with local jurisdictions that may opt to implement further fines, Smithson said.
Cities could adopt ordinances and
issue criminal penalties for vio-

restrictions,
Smithson said.
While some service providers,
like the San Francisco Public
Utilities Commission, have
stepped up enforcement by hiring
water cops, Cal Water has taken
on about 20 new employees who
are focusing on education, outreach and conservation plans,
Smithson said.
Besides, neighbors have already
begun to call in and report waste,
Smithson said. Hopefully, residents will do the neighborly thing
and reduce as much as they can for
the common good, Smithson said.
This is definitely the time to
step up and make those commitments to conserve. Because we are
all in this together, Smithson
said. We all need to look at our
own lives and see what we can do
to conserve. If everybodys doing
that, well meet this goal.

BUDGET
Continued from page 1
January.
Increased tax revenue to the
state has driven the state budget up
$6.7 billion since January, which
Brown used to pour additional
funding into state schools, to
reflect the wishes and priorities of
state voters.
State Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San
Mateo, said the influx of money
works toward restoring funding
levels that schools enjoyed prior
to the markets crashing in 2008.
Weve short-changed education
since the recession, he said. But
education will do extremely well
in this budget year.
State Superintendent Tom
Torlakson, in a prepared statement, echoed those sentiments.

While the increase in education

funding is impressive, we are still
making up for devastating cuts,
he said. When 30,000 teachers
were laid off, class sizes swelled
and school years shrunk.
The additional funding in the
governors recent budget proposal
amounts to roughly $3,000 more
for each K-12 student than what
was available in 2011-12.
The May update often closely
reflects the document that legislators must vote to approve by midnight June 15.
Nancy Magee, spokeswoman
for the San Mateo County Office
of Education, said she was hesitant
to heap too much praise onto the
budget, until a more detailed
analysis of it is available.
She did note though that the
funding is essential in assisting
school districts across the county
to establish Common Core standards in classrooms, and rolling

One of the residents at the complex at 910
Clinton St. has lived there for 32 years and

Linda Howell, 71, thought at first the renovations were to be done with the residents

Residents could stand up and oppose
the facility such as they have done
against plans to install lights at the
football field at Hillsdale High
School, Taner said.
We are looking for the medical center to be a good neighbor to residents,
she said.
The plan is to provide a safe place
for up to 10 days for 10 individuals
with mental health issues who do not
pose an immediate danger to themselves or others.
Dubbed Serenity House, the facility

relies heavily on technology to
asses students understanding of
the new curriculum.
Its really helpful and logical
that, when you have such a shift as
huge as implementation of
Common Core, that we get the
additional resources to make it
happen, she said.
In light of the state requiring
schools to put Common Core curriculum into effect, it is refreshing
to have an influx of government
funding to make that possible,
because the money may have not
have been available in previous,
more lean budget years, said
Magee.
We might have had the mandates, but no funding to implement them, she said.
Magee also praised the state

offices of education to enhance

move out. I just couldnt believe it. At my

age, I dont have the funds or help to move or

She is mainly concerned with the fate of all
the children who live in the building, however.
They will be uprooted from home, neighborhood and school. I know they are resilient
but it is still difficult. They cant afford locally and neither can I, she said about the other
tenants in the building.
Many of the parents told the Daily Journal
they are trying to stay positive for the sake of
their children.
Only one of the tenants in the building
receives housing assistance from the county,
the rest have paid their roughly $1,700
monthly rents on their own.
Its very difficult. None of us have found a
new place. Even with good credit, it is hard to
find a place, said Lupita Gonzalez, the mother of three who has lived at the complex for
five years.

jailed or put on psychiatric hold,

Kaplan said.
The goal is to get them stabilized
and back into the community. We currently do not have that option,
Kaplan said.
The county has been searching for an
appropriate site for the center for more
than a year and it is being paid for out
of voter-approved Measure A funds.
The center will be self-contained and
individuals who leave the facility will
be escorted either by staff or family,
Kaplan said.
It minimizes interaction with the
local community, he said.
Access to the facility will be from
the parking lot of the hospital, he
said.
It is not, however, a new population
that will be coming to the facility but
rather many of the same individuals
who already seek services at the county hospital, he said.

local districts to develop fiscally
solvent multi-year budgets.
The additional funds for our
staff to do all that work is quite
necessary, she said.
But despite the boon for education, there is still more work to be
done, according to some officials.
Hill noted that the budget only
guarantees more money for the
coming year, and that educators
need to be guaranteed that their
financial footing will continue to
improve.
Its a substantial amount of
money that will help schools in the
short term, he said. But we need
to look for a long-term solution,
and that is not in the budget.
Doing away with a cap on
reserves, which prevents districts
from storing unlimited amount of
rainy day funds, would be a step
toward allowing districts the ability to maintain an independent
strategy ensuring long-term fiscal

The building was sold to OAMC 910

Clinton Investments, LLC for a reported $6
million from a private trust.
The building also changed hands in 2010
after which the new owner raised the rents
modestly, said Miriam Pena, a mother of
three who has lived in the building for 11
years.
Pena has looked for low-income housing
but said the units are filled up.
Even shelters and transitional housing are
full, she said.
Everything is full. There are no units
available, she said.
For many of the children at the complex, it
is the only home they have known, said
Claudia Vasquez.
She feels discriminated against for being
poor.
Two Fridays ago, many of the Clinton
Street residents showed up to a prayer vigil
and rally at the Park Royal Apartments in San
Mateo, where tenants in 73 units were told

a day and not locked, he said.
The county had set aside about $2.4
million in Measure A funds to purchase
a property and renovate it for the facility.
The savings from not having to purchase a building will be applied to
services provided there.
Without a respite center alternative,
Kaplan said families often have their
hands tied getting their loved one into
treatment until he or she deteriorates
to the point that law enforcement or an
ambulance is called.
That response can end with the person being placed on a psychiatric
hold, arrested or in extreme situations
even injured or dead.
The center will be a place of safety
and care for the client and simultaneously educate family members who
may need guidance navigating the
oftentimes daunting arena of mental
illness.

solvency, said Hill.

Depending on financial fluctuations on a year-to-year basis can
be extremely challenging for any
institution, said Hill.
Schools will do fine, but thats
just this year. Next year may be
completely different, and you
cant run a state, or a school district, or anything in that unpredictable financial environment,
he said.
Ultimately though, education
officials praised the budget for
allowing school coffers to grow
back toward the level they were
previous to being stripped in the
not-too-distant past.
Education was cut down to the
skin and bones, said Magee.
When the public sees these
bumps in education funding, its
adding one little layer of skin at a
time, but getting back to where we
were will be a long journey, she
said.

they had to leave as a renovation project got

underway.
FPI did indicate it would help residents to
offset their moving expenses.
It offered tenants $50 a day for every day
they vacated their unit before June 30.
But Howell said she needs more time, not
less time, to find a new place to live.
Without tenant protections, property owners in San Mateo County can routinely terminate leases or evict tenants without cause.
SFOP/PIA is advocating for rent control in
the county, which only exists in parts of East
Palo Alto and mobile home parks in unincorporated county lands.
I understand it is all about money. But
what happened to humanity and the heart of
the community? said Howell, who said FPI is

They dont know us. They are not part of
