Seton to reduce workforce


Daughters of Charity reducing expenses at six hospitals to attract buyer
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Daughters of Charity Health System,


owners of two hospitals in San Mateo
County, will reduce its workforce and implement other cost-saving measures in an
effort to attract a new buyer.
With Prime Healthcare backing out of a
$837 million deal to buy six Daughters of

Charity hospitals in March, including


Seton medical centers in Daly City and
Moss Beach, the nonprofit health provider
is scrambling to find a new buyer to avoid
bankruptcy.
A letter sent to employees indicated that
about 20 management and support staff
employees will lose their jobs at the Seton
sites.
Plans to improve operations include

improving clinical documentation and


length of stay, reducing expenses and standardizing supplies, increasing physician
collaboration, realigning its organizational structure and service lines, as well as a
reduction in work force, Daughters of
Charity spokeswoman Elizabeth Nikels
wrote the Daily Journal in an email.

Nonprofit Samaritan House resumes dining

By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

After almost two years of searching


for a place where those in need can find
a respite while enjoying a warm meal,
Samaritan House officials were pleased
to announce this week theyve found a
new location for their dining services.
The nonprofit has begun to use its
Worker Resource Center on Fifth

Avenue in San Mateo to provide nearly


200 individuals with a place to have
dinner five nights a week, said
Samaritan House Executive Director
Bart Charlow.
Being able to sit down in a warm,
safe place and enjoy a meal, especially
surrounded by other people, is a major
plus. As human beings, we need social
contact and people who are struggling
financially are often isolated. So this

With little time left before the deadline to submit a plan


resolving a structural deficit plaguing the San Bruno Park
Elementary School District, officials elected to postpone
taking action to address the $400,000 hole remaining in
the budget.
Rather than selecting a variety of possible funding
sources and spending cuts that would allow the district to
submit an approvable budget to the San Mateo County
Office of Education prior to the April 30 deadline, the Board
of Trustees opted at its meeting Wednesday, April 15, to
reschedule another meeting next week, in hopes the school
community could collaborate on ways to solve the budget
crisis.

UNIONTOWN, Pa. State police
say a woman blames her coffee-drinking pet parrot for distracting her
moments before she crashed her car

Troopers from Uniontown say the
35-year-old woman was driving on a

noticed the bird pecking at the lid of
her coffee cup. The woman says she
struck the guardrail when she glanced
down to see what the bird was doing.
The woman told police that the bird
likes to drink coffee and they also
found bird seed in a cup holder next to
the coffee and a few feathers nearby.
Police say the woman broke her arm
and had facial cuts because her air bag
deployed.
The bird was safely removed from
the vehicle.

Chimp Tushi turns


drone-buster in Dutch zoo
ARNHEM, Netherlands Beware!
Chimp Tushi at the Dutch Burgers Zoo
is a real drone-buster.
When the zoo sent a drone over the
chimpanzee enclosure for a better look
at how their 14 apes live, the response
was swift.
With the unfamiliar intruder coming
close to them, 23-year-old female
Tushi waited in a tree, gritted her teeth
and with two whacks from a long
branch, downed the drone. No sweat.
Zoo spokesman Bas Lukkenaar said
on Tuesday that we can write the
drone off. It cost about 2,000 euros
($2,100). Then again, it doesnt surprise that Tushi did this. She is very
handy with sticks.
With the camera still rolling on the
ground Friday after Tushis strike, the
zoo got some close-up footage anyway of chimps coming to inspect
their kill.

Health System
chief to retire
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

Jean Fraser announced her retirement as


chief of the San Mateo County Health
System Thursday.
Fraser, who took over the job in 2009,
will leave her post effective July 10.
Fraser, 52, served as chief executive officer of San Francisco Health Plan from 2000
to 2008 after a career path that included
stints as a prosecutor for the federal government and the San Francisco City Attorneys
Office.
Fraser was born and raised in Minnesota,
the daughter of two attorneys.
Having worked in or around county
health care systems for 20 years, and seeing
the progress made in the United States and
in San Mateo County due to the Affordable
Care Act, I now feel I can move on to pursue
other passions, Fraser wrote in a statement
to Health Systems 2,200 employees.
Frasers job includes oversight of the San
Mateo Medical Center and 11 outpatient
clinics with a budget of about $540 million.
In addition to exploring opportunities in
other areas of interest, Fraser will be spending time with her elderly parents who live in
another state.
This was not an easy decision, Fraser
wrote in a statement. But with most San
Mateo residents insured, the Health
Systems finances stable and a strong
Health System leadership team in place,
now is a good time for me to leave.

Fraser was previously


the CEO of San Francisco
Health Plan, a countycreated health plan providing affordable health
coverage to low- and
moderate-income families. From 1991-2000,
Fraser worked with San
Francisco
City
Jean Fraser
Attorneys Office as managing attorney for the team advising the San
Francisco departments of Public Health and
Human Services.
She holds a law degree from Yale Law
School, and a bachelors degree from Yale
University.
County Manager John Maltbie will begin
recruiting immediately for Frasers successor. If a successor is not named prior to
Frasers departure, Health System Deputy
Chief Louise Rogers will serve as interim
chief.
Jean has been an outstanding asset to the
Health System and the county of San Mateo
as a whole, Maltbie wrote in a statement.
She has provided invaluable leadership,
successfully steering the Health System
through many challenges like the implementation of the Affordable Care Act and
assuming the countys public administrator
program. She is a champion of fair and equal
health care for all and she will be truly
missed. I wish her all the best in her future
endeavors.

When the form is used on a mobile
device, the information is sent and
posted to Caltrains Twitter account
@BikesOnCaltrain.
The account, which launched in
February, will also tweet notices from
dispatch of when train cars reach
capacity, according to transit officials. The form will help Caltrain figure out boarding trends and develop
information for passengers on daily

Caltrain is working to fix a minor
problem in its online form, which
currently delays reporting the first
bike bump of the day, officials said.
The agencys Gallery trains, which
allow entry on cars through one door,
can store up to 80 bicycles between
two dedicated cars. The Bombardier
trains, which allow entry on cars
through two doors, can only hold up

Cities: California
water reduction
order unrealistic
By Fenit Nirappil
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO California
cities are pushing back against
Gov. Jerry Browns order for
mandatory water use reductions,
but its not likely that regulators
will retreat with the state in its
fourth year of drought.
The State Water Resources
Control Boards proposal to meet
Browns order has some cities
slashing water use by more than a
third, and it will be updated in the
coming days.
Dozens of affected agencies say
the expected reduction targets are
overreaching, unrealistic and
unfair.
In an attempt to reward waterconscious communities, the board
is suggesting cutbacks tied to
water use in September.
Critics say that doesnt take
into account different climates
from the coast to the desert and
longstanding conservation in
cities that include Los Angeles and
San Diego.

The boards
proposal treats
agencies with a
history of saving water the
same as others
that are now
only beginning

Court skeptical of challenge to Obamas climate change plan


By Sam Hananel
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Two out of


three judges on a federal appeals
court panel expressed doubts
Thursday about a legal challenge
to the Obama administrations farreaching plan to address climate
change.
The comments came during
nearly two hours of argument
before the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the District of Columbia
Circuit in two cases challenging

the Environmental Protection


Agencys proposal to cut heattrapping pollutants from the
nations coal-fired power plants
that is blamed for global warming.
Judges Thomas Griffith and
Brett Kavanaugh seemed to agree
with lawyers defending the EPA
that the lawsuits are premature
because the agency has not yet
made the rule final.
The lawsuits one from a
coalition of 15 coal-reliant states
and another brought by Ohio-

based Murray Energy Corp., the


nations largest privately held
coal mining company are part
of a growing political attack from
opponents who say the move will
kill jobs, force coal companies to
shut down plants and drive up
electricity prices.
At issue is whether the EPA has
legal authority for its plan under
the Clean Air Act. But the agency
and environmental advocacy groups say

Lawsuit seeks to legalize
prostitution in California
SAN FRANCISCO Advocates for California sex workers are seeking to legalize the worlds oldest profession.
A federal lawsuit filed March 4 seeks to strike down the
California law criminalizing prostitution as an unconstitutional violation of equal protection and free speech
rights. The lawsuit alleges that Californias criminalizing
of prostitution deprives sex workers or their right to participate in a private, consensual activity.
The rights of adults to engage in consensual, private
sexual activity (even for compensation) is a fundamental
liberty interest, the lawsuit states.
The lawsuit was filed by the San Francisco-based advocacy group Erotic Service Providers Legal, Education and
Research Project along with three women who say they
want to work legally as prostitutes in California. A disabled man who says he wants to legally pay for sex is also
a plaintiff.
D. Gill Sperlein, the lawyer representing the plaintiffs,
said legalizing prostitution will also make sex workers
safer. Social science clearly demonstrates that the criminalization of prostitution puts sex workers at risk of abuse
because it discourages them from reaching out to law
enforcement, he said in a prepared statement.
California formally outlawed prostitution in 1961.

Suspected serial killers


mental health hearing delayed
A Northern California judge granted the request of two
court-appointed doctors for more time to prepare reports
on the mental health of a suspected serial killer who terrorized the San
Francisco region in early 1976.
Rodney Halbower will return to court
in Redwood City on May 28 when doctors are to report their findings to the
court. Halbower is charged with raping
and killing six young women in the first
few months of 1976. Halbower was
arrested last year after his DNA was
Rodney
linked to evidence collected from one of
Halbower
the murder sites. Halbower hasnt
entered a plea because the judge wants to first determine if
hes mentally competent to stand trial.
The killings were dubbed the Gypsy Hill murders
because of the location of one of the slayings.

Bay Area Catholics are asking Pope Francis to replace Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone with someone more inclusive.

Some San Francisco Catholics


call for ouster of archbishop
By Janie Har
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO More than 100


Bay Area Catholics went public with
their complaints about the San
Francisco archbishop on Thursday,
asking Pope Francis in a full page
newspaper ad to replace Archbishop
Salvatore Cordileone with someone
more inclusive and less divisive.
The open letter stated that the
Archdiocese of San Francisco is threatened by Cordileones single-issue
agenda and cannot survive, let alone

thrive and grow under his supervision


and that San Francisco deserves a
leader focused on service and diversity.
Cordileone has called for teachers
and staff at four high schools within
the archdiocese to accept contract and
handbook language against abortion,
homosexuality, same-sex marriage,
birth control and artificial insemination.
Michael Kelly, an attorney who
signed the letter, spoke at an
impromptu press conference Thursday.
He said the group tried reaching out
quietly to the Vatican, and it published

when the groups members realized


they were getting nowhere.
Our hope is that the pope recognizes, both from our messages and
this, that we are serious, that we are
looking to him for help, Kelly said.
A statement from the archdiocese
called the advertisement a misrepresentation of Catholic teaching,
teacher contracts, and the spirit of the
Archbishop.
The greatest misrepresentation of
all is that the signers presume to speak
for the Catholic Community of San
Francisco. They do not.

House passes bill to repeal estate tax


By Stephen Ohlemacher
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The House voted


Thursday to repeal the federal tax on estates,
a politically volatile issue that affects few
inheritances.
Republicans refer to it as the death tax.
They say it prevents small business owners
and family farmers from passing businesses
on to their heirs.
Can you imagine working your whole life
to build up a family-owned business and then
upon your death Uncle Sam swoops in and
takes nearly half of what you spent a lifetime
building up for your children and grandchildren? asked Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas,
who sponsored the bill.
It is at its heart an immoral tax, he said.
Democrats say repealing the tax is a giveaway to the rich, since the only families that
pay it have many millions in assets. The bill
now goes to the Senate where Democrats
appear to have enough votes to block it.
The White House has threatened to veto
the bill in part because it would add $269 billion to the budget deficit over the next
decade.
This proposed repeal of the estate tax is
nothing more than a massive unfunded tax
break for a small sliver of Americas wealthiest families, said Rep. Jim McDermott, DWash. What are they doing? Shoveling a
quart of a trillion dollars out the door to the
richest.
The vote was 240-179.
The House also passed a bill to make permanent a deduction for state and local sales
taxes that expired at the beginning of the
year. The White House threatened to veto

that bill in part because it would have added


$42 billion to the budget deficit over the
next decade.
The federal tax rate on estates is 40 percent, but big exemptions limit the share of
estates that pay it to fewer than 1 percent.
This year, the exemption is $5.43 million
for a single person. Married couples can
exempt up to $10.9 million. Larger estates
pay taxes only on the amounts above these
thresholds.
A total of 5,400 estates are expected to pay
the tax this year out of about 2.6 million
deaths, according to the nonpartisan Joint
Committee on Taxation, which provides
official estimates for Congress. Thats 0.2
percent of all deaths in the U.S.
Republicans say that some business owners get hit with the tax because they have
valuable assets that dont necessarily generate a lot of cash. They cite family farms,
which may sit on valuable land but dont
generate enough money to pay hefty estate
taxes unless heirs sell some or all the land.
The super rich? They dont pay this tax.
They have a legion of lawyers and tax planners. They have charitable trusts and foundations, Brady said. These are family-owned,

barons of the Teddy Roosevelt days.
The deduction for state and local sales
taxes helps people who live in the nine

House Republicans say the measure is

have incomes taxes can deduct those taxes
on their federal returns.

Truth About Deceptive

Cremation Practices
By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE

(This was first


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

cremation societies with talk of lower


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

Bush backs confirmation of


attorney general nominee
By Jill Colvin and Emily Wagster Pettus
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CONCORD, N.H. Likely presidential


contender Jeb Bush said Thursday the
Senate should confirm attorney general
nominee Loretta Lynch despite objections
from many of his fellow Republicans.
The former Florida governor appeared
Thursday night at a GOP Politics and Pies
event on the eve of a gathering Friday that
will bring together more than a dozen other
potential and declared contenders for the
nomination.
Lynch was nominated by President
Barack Obama in November, but Senate
Republicans have delayed a confirmation
vote.
Bush said presidents should have the
right to pick their teams, adding that
Lynchs confirmation would at least speed
up the departure of current Attorney General
Eric Holder, deeply unpopular with the
GOP.
If someone is supportive of the presidents policies, whether you agree with
them or not, there should be some deference to the executive, he said. It should
not always be partisan.
In Jackson, Mississippi, earlier, Bush
said he will make up his mind in relatively short order whether to seek the
Republican nomination and is not concerned that several rivals have a head start
in declaring their candidacies.
Im on a journey to kind of measure support, Bush said. Other peoples processes are not really that relevant to me. Ill
make up my mind in relatively short order.
Im excited about just the possibility of
being in a position to consider it.
In Concord, Bush took questions for
nearly an hour from voters gathered at the
Concord Snowshoe Club. One asked why

two families are so dominant in presidential


politics the Bush
family and the Clintons.
I have enough selfawareness to know that
that is an oddity, said
Bush, the brother and
son of presidents. Its a
Jeb Bush
serious question and
campaigns need to be
about the future, not the
past.
He also broke his
strict diet, digging into a
slice of blueberry pie.
Earlier, Bush attended
a bill signing ceremony
with Republican Gov.
Phil Bryant in Jackson.
Loretta Lynch
The law Bryant signed
is based on a program
created in Florida when Bush was governor.
Mississippi will issue $6,500 vouchers for
a small percentage of the states special
education students. Families can use the
public money to pay for private school
tuition, tutoring or other education services outside the public schools.
Bush, while not a declared presidential
candidate, has been campaigning like one
for some time.
He said his family supports his exploration of a presidential bid.
In a campaign, no matter if its running
for governor or running for president or
anything else, youve got to go earn it,
Bush said. Youve got to go earn peoples
respect and persuade people that your ideas
are better, that you have leadership skills
to make it happen. Youve got a heart for
people. Those are the things that matter.
Whos winning, whos losing? Who
cares?

TYPE-2 DIABETES

An American Tragedy with Frightening Consequences!


This FREE Health Seminar Will Reveal How America s Medical Monopoly
Promotes This Modern-Day Epidemic and What You Can Do to Protect Yourself!
Exclusively For Diabetic and Pre-Diabetic Medical Patients
Presented By Dr. Christopher M. Colgin, D.PSc, Spirited Speaker and Local Wellness Expert
Why Is the Monopoly Failing to Answer
this Burning Question?

Learn How to Exceed the Medical


Standard of Care for Diabetes!

If you have type-2 diabetes or pre-diabetes, it


means things arent going right for you at the cellular,
metabolic, and hormonal levels. Most of your cells
except perhaps for happily thriving fat cellshave
become gun shy in the presence of insulin and
leptin. How did you get that way?

Diabetes and its standard drug protocols create


spillover stress on your body and emotions, especially
if you fear the likely long-term complications of the
condition. The medical standard of care for diabetes
will either overlook this secondary stress or treat any
resulting symptoms with further layers of stresscreating drugs!
However, Dr. Colgin will reveal a drugless,
science-based measurement approach at this evening
seminar that helps us build and maintain balance and
greater stress resistance at cellular, metabolic, and
hormonal levels. This leads to improved well-being.
The greater stress resistance also reduces the chances
of long-term diabetic complications.

If you knew the answer, you might be able to


reverse direction, right? But thats not a question the
Medical Monopoly is interested in answering for you!
The Monopoly doesnt want to help you turn things
around. Rather, it wants to treat your symptoms until
you die. Thats where the money isdependent
patients for life. Are you okay with that?
Powerful lobbies and huge corporate interests
shape the insurance model of traditional medicine.
These interests intellectually distance themselves from
broken bodies, souls, and heartache. Their decisions
always center on profit, control of the population
through government regulation, and long-term selfsurvival. Dr. Colgin will expose the methods used by
the Medical Monopoly to control you. And he will
show you how to find safe, effective alternatives.

Can You Reverse Your Diabetes?


Ever-growing numbers of practicing physicians and
diabetes researchers such as Dr. Ron Rosedale, M.D.,
are now showing that most type-2 diabetics can
actually reverse their conditions through natural
approaches that include exercise, livable diets, and
certain supplements that support cellular health. In
truth, these researchers are saying that medicine has

Yes on Measure P

Jonathan Madison

Editor,
San Carlos has always been a wonderful place to live or raise a family.
Its also a strong and vibrant community. Not many people know, though,
that not long ago our population
began declining. Fortunately, that didnt last.
A big part of the turnaround was due
to our great public elementary school
system. Even buyers who dont have
kids want good schools. They know
how important good schools are in
forging community.
Our schools reect the pride we have
in them. Parent volunteers donating
time and money, seniors helping tutor
students, or property owners agreeing
to additional taxes: everyone pitches
in.
Its not just self-interest in boosting home values. In more than a
decade of public service Ive seen how
San Carlans help those who need it.
Thats particularly true when it comes
to getting kids off to a good start.
But it also extends to helping our
seniors. Which is why the district lets
those over 65 opt out of school parcel
taxes. Of course, this being San
Carlos, a lot who could do so, dont.
My two kids graduated from the district years ago. It gave them a great
start. My wife and I want to see that
continue, both now and in the future.
We hope youll join us, your friends
and your neighbors in voting for
Measure P. Lets keep our strong
schools strong.

Editor,
Over the years of my existence, I
have run across people who can make
me think and reect, on any given
issue, with their intelligence and writing skills. Aba Eban, Thomas Sowell
and Victor Davis Hanson come to
mind. Now we have a young man
Jonathan Madison, who is a secondyear law student, works for a law rm
while attending law school and takes
the time to write intelligent, thoughtful and provoking columns for the
Daily Journal.
Madisons column Values: The
beating heart of democracy (in the
April 7 edition of the Daily Journal)
knocked the ball out of the park. He
pointed out that the federal government is dysfunctional and that politicians of both parties do not always
operate in the best interests of their
constituents. To me, the outrageous
debts of our state and federal governments and our unnecessary drought
demonstrate that observation made by
Mr. Madison.
Consequently, I wish to express my
deep respect to Mr. Madison for his
intelligence, his writing skill and his
hard work. My appreciation is also for
the Daily Journal for giving Mr.
Madison the opportunity to express
his ideas to the readers of the Journal.

Stop pointing fingers?


Editor,
Regarding Jon Mays April 10 column, Stop pointing ngers over
ongoing drought, Heaven forbid we
stop pointing ngers over the
drought. I too remember the collective, enthusiastic response to the
drought of the 1970s. It was nice, but
what did it achieve in the long term?
Homeowners kept soaking their
grass, teenagers kept taking 30minute showers and farmers kept
planting rice, almonds and cotton. If
anything, we need more nger-pointing, so that the issues are rened by
public debate and the solutions provide more than Band-Aids.

Development
and classroom space
Editor,
I am in agreement with Bill
Schwarzs letter in the April 14 edition of the Daily Journal regarding the
connection between development and
the need for new classroom space
(Focus on supply versus demand may
be unbalanced). I grew up in a family
that always supported education, however, in the recent election (Measure
P), I voted no. The need for schools
follows development. I am distressed
by the rampant development that has
taken hold of the Peninsula.
I would really like to see some indication that our elected ofcials and
city staff have the best interests of the
citizens at heart. So far, it seems that
the developers are calling the shots. A
shortage of classrooms might cause
some to reconsider living here. Were
this to occur, perhaps the developers
would slow down their headlong race
to ll every available lot with maximum square footage.
I really like Mr. Schwarzs idea of
tying the costs of adding classroom
space in the city to the fees that are
required from developers who prot
from the out-of-control building that
has gripped the Peninsula. In this

Street smarts needed


Editor,
Maybe the Obama administration
was mesmerized by the poufy hats and
owing robes of the Iranian leadership. Ayatollah Khameneis recent
public statement that no nuclear
agreement will be signed unless all
sanctions are lifted immediately thereafter shows that the negotiation isnt
even close to being over.
One of the crucial mistakes the
United States made was to use deadlines. Khamenei isnt subject to term
limits or deadlines that we know
about. Mr. Obama boxed himself in
with his own deadlines which nobody
took seriously anyway, perhaps
because he didnt.
This allowed the Iranians to correctly conclude that if they waited long
enough, Mr. Obama would talk himself into saying that this is the best
deal he could get, regardless of its
terms. For Iran, each deadlinebecame
a new starting point for the next
round, ad innitum.
By following a schedule and abandoning his own goals, red lines and
deadlines, Mr. Obama helped prove
that in a real ght, book-smart gets

he news that Alejandro Hogan, superintendent of the


South San Francisco Union High School District, is
leaving early after announcing he would resign at
the end of the school year April 14 was not necessarily
shocking.
Hogan is taking an assistant superintendent position at
the Napa Valley Unied School District, which was kind of
an open secret for weeks, and has suffered through a recent
string of controversy. Most notable was an incident involving some students and a noose and allegations of racial discrimination. While an independent report found no wrongdoing on the part of the administration, his naming of a new
principal at El Camino High School, who quickly left under
a cloud of nancial malfeasance, didnt do much to engender
condence in Hogan or the district.
Additionally, Hogan was on the
wrong end of the boards support
and the tension between him and
Trustee Maurice Goodman was evident.
So leaving early made an abundance of sense. Now the district
will be led by two lower level
administrators who can see if the
superintendent position is a match
while the board looks for a longterm replacement.
It couldnt come soon enough.
Parents and teachers are likely tired
of the instability and the district would benet from a new
superintendent with fresh ideas and who is not tainted with
recent controversy. Another aspect is that the South San
Francisco community has asked the board to ensure whoever
is Hogans replacement has familiarity with the district
thats sage advice.
***
The San Bruno Park Elementary School District also
recently announced the hiring of Cheryl Olson as its new
superintendent. She comes from a small district with eight
schools in Redding and was most recently an assistant
superintendent. She is replacing David Hutt, who has had
his challenges in leading the district through school closure
discussions and budget cuts.
The Board of Trustees ousted Hutt last year though he is
remaining until the end of this school year. Hutt has always
been communicative but perhaps in a little over his head
when it came to dealing with previous board dysfunction.
The board is stabilized and an effort to even the keel when it
comes to nancing will be assisted by new leadership and a
burgeoning community foundation. That will only help if
the board decides once again to ask voters for a parcel tax to
help pay for classroom needs.
Olson will be making $162,000 plus benets while Hutt
made about $132,000.
***
The San Mateo Union High School District is also closing in on naming a new superintendent after Scott Laurence
announced his departure. Laurence will be heading to the
pastoral clime of Carmel, closer to his home and away from
the issues that have commandeered his tenure here.
Probably the toughest task was nding both a temporary
and permanent home for charter Design Tech High School,
which will be leaving Mills High School next year. Its colocation at Mills was a cause of community concern and
nding a new permanent spot on Rollins Road was a long
time coming.
Other efforts included nding a spot for a new district
ofce and Peninsula High School, which has been at the former Crestmoor High School in San Bruno, far away from
home for many of its students. The district is nalizing a
spot on the Burlingame Bayfront for a new district ofce and
perhaps other needs, so it seems as if Laurence and his trusted Assistant Superintendent Liz McManus are trying to tie
up some loose ends before his departure.
Finding a new spot for Peninsula has been problematic,
but look for some movement on that effort soon.
***
The pending departure of Cynthia Simms from the San
Mateo-Foster City Elementary School District means ofcials there will have to head to the ballot for a bond measure
without her. Though the Next Steps Committee has been
focused on a holistic approach to contending with the districts overenrollment issues, there is little doubt the end
result will be another go at a ballot measure. More students
means more classrooms and a bond measure will alleviate
that need. However, it will still be a tall task for the effort
after a recent failed measure and the often competing needs
of all the various segments of the wide-ranging and populous district.
***
Being a superintendent is rewarding work. One gets to
implement policy for the betterment of our childrens education while seeing the latest teaching methods develop and
change. But its often arduous contending with nances,
extremely passionate constituent groups and the controversies that arise among those with differing points of view.
Our county in particular is contending with ever-changing
demographics and educational interests with parents always
seeking the best for their children. Its a tough job leading a
district and managing a large amount of change that can
come at any time and from any direction. Heres hoping
those who take on these important positions see the potential and are up for the challenge.

NEW YORK Netflix soared, big


corporations turned in quarterly
results, and investors welcomed new
companies into the market. There was
plenty of news, but major indexes finished the day just short of where they
started.
Stocks drifted lower at the start of
trading, followed oil prices higher in
the early afternoon, then flipped back
to slight losses in the last hour before
the closing bell.
David Lebovitz, global market
strategist at J.P. Morgan Asset
Management, said investors are trying
to figure out if the recent run of uninspiring economic news will hit corporate profits. At the same time, big
banks and other corporations have
turned in better results than Wall Street
expected this week.
Theres a bit of a tug of war right
now, Lebovitz said. So far, it looks
like the earnings season is off to a
decent start.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
edged down 1.64 points, a fraction of a
percent, to 2,104.99.
The Dow Jones industrial average
slipped 6.84 points, less than 0.1 percent, to 18,105.77, and the Nasdaq
composite lost 3.23 points, also less
than 0.1 percent, to 5,007.79.

Netflix said it added 4.9 million subscribers in the first three months of the
year, better than any other quarter since
the company started streaming video
eight years ago. All told, Netflix finished March with 62 million subscribers around the world. Traders drove
the companys stock up $86.59, or 18
percent, to $562.05, the biggest gain
in the S&P 500.
Citigroups quarterly net income rose
as the bank trimmed expenses and legal
costs, which compensated for a decline
in revenue. The results beat Wall
Streets estimates, sending Citis stock
up 81 cents, or 2 percent, to $54.02.
The first-quarter earnings season is
supposed to be the worst in years, with
analysts forecasting a 3 percent drop in
earnings compared with the year
before. The early results suggest things
might not turn out that way. Earnings
from more than seven out of 10 companies have come in higher than Wall
Streets estimates, according to S&P
Capital IQ.
The economic news out Thursday
gave traders little direction. The Labor
Department reported that the number of
Americans applying for unemployment aid last week inched up for the
second week in a row. The four-week
average, a less volatile measure, edged
up to 282,750, still close to the lowest
level in nearly 15 years.
In Europe, mounting fears that

Greece could default on its debts shot


the countrys borrowing costs higher.
The latest jitters followed a report
Thursday in the Financial Times that
Greece made an informal approach to
the International Monetary Fund to
have its bailout repayments delayed.
Many in the markets think the Greek
government will struggle to make a
payment due next month to the IMF if
it fails to reach a deal in negotiations
with European creditors.
There seems little chance of talks
being resolved, said Neil MacKinnon,
global macro strategist at VTB Capital.
A debt default looms.
European stock markets fell.
Germanys DAX dropped 1.9 percent
and Frances CAC 40 lost 0.6 percent.
Britains FTSE 100 slid 0.5 percent.
Back in the U.S., Etsy nearly doubled
in its first day of trading, jumping $14,
or 88 percent, to $30. The online market for handmade crafts and vintage
goods raised $267 million in its initial
public offering late Wednesday, selling
shares at $16 each.
U.S. government bonds held steady,
with the 10-year Treasury yield trading
at 1.88 percent.
In the commodity markets, industrial
metals surged while precious metals
barely budged. Copper rose 6 cents to
settle at $2.77 a pound. Gold fell $3.30
to $1,198 an ounce, and silver added a
penny to $16.28 an ounce.

WikiLeaks creates online archive of hacked Sony documents


By Mae Anderson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Sonys hacking problems


arent over yet.
Whistleblower site WikiLeaks on
Thursday put hundreds of thousands of
emails and documents from last years crippling cyberattack against Sony Pictures
Entertainment into a searchable online
archive. Its the latest blow for the entertainment and technology company struggling to get past the attack, which the company estimates caused millions in damage.
The website founded by Julian Assange
said that its database includes more than
170,000 emails from Sony Pictures and a
subsidiary, plus more than 30,000 other
documents.

Sony Pictures blasted


WikiLeaks for creating
the archive, saying the
website was helping the
hackers
disseminate
stolen information.
We vehemently disagree with WikiLeaks
assertion that this mateJulian Assange rial belongs in the public
domain, the company
said in a statement.
But Assange said the documents should be
available to the public. Although they had
been online, it was in a compressed format
that wasnt easily searchable.
This archive shows the inner workings
of an influential multinational corporation, Assange said. It is newsworthy and

at the center of a geo-political conflict. It


belongs in the public domain. WikiLeaks
will ensure it stays there.
The WikiLeaks site lets users find emails,
documents or an entire cache of files
through searches using keywords, people
who sent or received emails and types of
files. The site made a name for itself in 2010
when it began publishing diplomatic cables
leaked by Chelsea Manning, formerly
known as Bradley Manning.
Assange is currently battling a detention
order in Sweden, where he is wanted by prosecutors in an investigation of alleged sex
crimes. He has avoided being extradited to
Sweden by taking shelter in the Ecuadorean
Embassy in London since 2012.
Sony Pictures troubles began last

Goldman Sachs earnings soar on trading, deal fees


By Steve Rothwell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Goldman Sachs posted a big


jump in first-quarter net income Thursday as
its investment banking unit logged its best
quarter since the financial crisis. Higher fees
from trading bonds and currencies also
helped.
DOLLARS FROM DEALS: Goldman is
benefiting from an upswing in company deals
in the U.S., driven by higher business confidence and low interest rates. Goldman said
revenue from its investment banking unit was
the highest its been in a single quarter since
2007.

TRADING BOOST: Big moves in the


bond and currency markets in the first quarter
also boosted earnings at the bank. Because
markets were volatile at the start of the year,
traders placed more bets to try and profit from
those price swings. More trading activity
means more commissions for banks and brokers.
THE NUMBERS: The bank earned $2.75
billion, or $5.94 a share, in the first three
months of the year. That compares with
$1.95 billion, or $4.02, in the same period a
year earlier. Revenue rose to $10.6 billion
from $9.3 billion.
The results beat the expectations of Wall
Street analysts, who had forecast earnings per

share of $4.26 and revenue of $9.4 billion.


THE QUOTE: Goldman Chief Financial
Officer Harvey Schwartz said corporate dealmaking will likely remain strong in the nearterm.
When we talk to CEOs and boards...confidence continues to be high, Schwartz said on
a call with investors and analysts. Theres a
fair bit of activity out there, and we feel very
well placed for it.
THE STOCK REACTION: Goldmans
stock fell 83 cents to $200.27 in afternoon
trading. The banks stock is up about 3.5 percent this year and has outperformed the
Standard & Poors 500 index, which has
gained 2.2 percent.

Stock of online marketplace Etsy surges in trading debut


By Mae Anderson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The place where you can


buy handmade dresses and crocheted dog costumes has a new hot seller: its own stock.
Shares of arts and crafts retailer Etsy
surged in opening trading on the Nasdaq
Thursday. After pricing at $16 late
Wednesday the stock opened at nearly double
that level, and hit a high of $35.73 in morning trading. The stock finished at $30 per
share, up 87.5 percent for the day and valuing the company at $3.33 billion.

The healthy stock surge shows that Wall


Street has a big appetite for a well-known
retail brand, even one that doesnt yet make
a profit. Thursday was one of the biggest
days for initial public offerings so far this
year, with party-store operator Party City
and electronic trading firm Virtu Financial
also making big debuts.
Its been a very slow IPO market so far
this year and investors have been on the
sideline waiting for a new name, especially a
new name thats familiar, said Sam
Hamadeh, CEO of research firm Privco.
Founded in 2005, Brooklyn-based Etsy

sells anything from a $110,000 antique desk


from the 1800s to a $20 handmade antler
pendant and everything in between. In 10
years its grown from a scrappy startup offering craftspeople a way to sell necklaces and
needlepoint online to a marketplace of 54
million members that generated $1.93 billion in sales in 2014.
While it doesnt make a profit it reported a loss of $15.2 million in 2014 it has
a very loyal customer base and room for revenue growth. The company says 78 percent
of people who bought items on the site in
2014 were return customers.

ing attack and release of confidential emails


ahead of its release of The Interview, a
comedy that centers around the assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. A
group calling itself Guardians of the Peace
took credit for the attack, and U.S. intelligence officials said the group was linked to
North Korea, but no official link has been
made.
The attack exposed tens of thousands of
sensitive documents, including studio financial records, employment files and emails
between Sony executives. Some emails
revealed exchanges between Oscar-winning
producer Scott Rudin and Sony Pictures cochair Amy Pascal that contained a frank
assessment of Angelina Jolies talent and
racially offensive jokes about President
Barack Obamas presumed taste in movies.

An agreement announced Thursday

They havent had much success so far.

American Express
tops 1Q profit forecasts
NEW YORK American Express on
Thursday said its first-quarter net income
rose to $1.51 billion, but the results were
held back by a stronger U.S. dollar.
On a per-share basis, the company earned
$1.48, up from $1.33, a year earlier. The
results topped Wall Street expectations. The
average estimate of 14 analysts surveyed by
Zacks Investment Research was for earnings of $1.37.
American Express shares have declined 13

while the Standard & Poors 500 index has
climbed 2 percent.

Phelps returns
to winning ways
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MESA, Ariz. Michael Phelps won the


100-meter butterfly at his first meet in eight
months Thursday night, beginning his push
to compete at a fifth Olympics next year.
The 18-time Olympic gold medalist led at
the halfway mark and went on to touch first
in 52.38 seconds in front of a big crowd at
the outdoor Arena Pro Swim Series meet.
His time was slower than a year ago, when
he finished second to longtime rival Ryan
Lochte in 52.13 at the same meet after ending an abbreviated retirement. Lochte was
second this time in 53.11.
Phelps is back competing after serving a
six-month suspension handed down by USA
Swimming after his second drunken driving
arrest. He said Wednesday that hes aiming
for the 2016 Rio Olympics.
Its his first meet since the Pan Pacific
Championships in August. He was cheered
on by mother Debbie and fiancee Nicole
Johnson, who smiled while gazing at
Phelps during his post-race interview.

Hillsdales Ryan Fong slides safely into home plate to score the Knights only run in the bottom of the fifth inning in a 1-0 win over Aragon.

Knights control destiny


By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

There were a couple things Peninsula


Athletic League fans found out about the
Hillsdale and Aragon baseball teams this
week.
One, there is not much that separates
these two squads. Two, the Knights are just a
little bit better than the Dons.
Two days after Hillsdale posted a 4-1,
eight-inning victory over its rivals, the
Knights completed the season-series sweep
with a taut 1-0 win Thursday.

Hillsdale did a great job, said Aragon


manager Lenny Souza. It doesnt feel good,
but I had a lot of fun out there (this week).
For Souza and the Dons, however, it had
to feel like deja vu as for the second time in
as many years, they lost a game by virtue of
a safety squeeze bunt. Menlo-Atherton beat
Aragon in the PAL tournament last season,
scoring two runs in the bottom of the 10th
inning on a safety squeeze play.
While Thursdays game-winning run wasnt quite as dramatic, it certainly had Souza
thinking back to the 2014 campaign.
With Hillsdale pitcher Adam Schembri and

Aragons David Hermann locked up in a


classic pitching duel, it was a Riki Urata
bunt in the bottom of the fifth inning that
turned out to be the deciding play.
And there was nothing routine about Uratas
bunt. With Ryan Fong on third base with
one out, Urata came to the plate and, on a 10 pitch, offered a bunt at a pitch that was
way outside the strike zone and high. Urata
had to nearly jump into the right-hand batters box just to get his bat on the eye-high
pitch.

See KNIGHTS, Page 13

Im always hard on myself, he said. Its


OK, probably some things to fix. Its a
good starting point.
Phelps walked on deck in lime green
sneakers and a gray-and-black jammer
emblazoned with MP, his signature line of
swimwear that debuted this week. Just like
always, he climbed on the starting block,
bent down and loosened up by swinging his
arms so they slapped his back before taking
his starting position.
Im focusing more on the small things,
he said. Some of those things you tend to
slack off on.
In other events, 18-year-old Olympian
Katie Ledecky won the 200 freestyle in
1:56.79, adding her second title of the
meet. She won the 1,500 free Wednesday.
Ledecky returned later to finish fifth in the
400 individual medley, with three-time
Hungarian Olympian Katinka Hosszu winning in 4:36.77.

In NBA playoffs, No. 8 seeds always have a chance


By Antonio Gonzalez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND The Golden State Warriors


know all about playoff upsets. After all, the
franchise pulled off one of the biggest stunners in NBA history just eight years ago.
This time, theyll be trying to avoid suffering the same fate they once handed out.
The Warriors enter the playoffs as the
NBAs top seed after winning a franchise-

record 67 games. Of course, it wasnt that


long ago that Golden State downed Dirk
Nowitzki and the top-seeded Dallas
Mavericks another 67-win team in the
opening round of the 2007 playoffs.
Now Anthony Davis and the New Orleans
Pelicans will try to upend the Warriors when
their first-round series starts Saturday.
Atlanta (60-22), the top seed in the East,
begins with Brooklyn.
Knocking off a No. 1 seed in the opening

round is difficult, but its certainly not


unprecedented. Heres a look at some of the
best eight seeds ever:
1 9 9 8 -9 9 New Yo rk Kni cks . The
labor lockout shortened the season to 50
games, giving the reconstructed Knicks
(27-23) little time to integrate newcomers
Latrell Sprewell and Marcus Camby. But
when the playoffs started, they matched up
against the rival Miami Heat and looked
like a different team. New York won a brutal-

ly physical series in a decisive Game 5 in


Miami, when Allan Houstons runner with
0.8 seconds remaining bounced off the rim
and the backboard before dropping through.
The Knicks eliminated Atlanta and Indiana
before San Antonio beat them in the NBA
Finals.

Warriors? Cavs? No clear NBA Finals favorite


By Brian Mahoney
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Sweet-shooting Stephen Curry and the


Golden State Warriors have the best record,
an unmatched home-court advantage, and the
understanding that means nothing now.
We had a great home record and did some
historic things, but that doesnt get you any
extra points in the playoffs, Curry said.
The Warriors (67-15)
were the NBAs best this
season. LeBron James
has been on top before,
though
never
in
Cleveland. And dont forget the Spurs, even
though you have to look
far down the West standings to find them.
Steph Curry
When the NBA postseason opens this weekend, there will be
plenty of championship contenders but perhaps no clear favorite.
I got no idea whos going to win the
championship. This is the most convoluted
Ive ever seen the NBA as far as, Ive got no
idea, Hall of Famer and TNT analyst Charles
Barkley said.
With James gone from Miami, so are the
days of penciling in one half of the NBA
Finals matchup. The Heat reached the last
four finals, winning two of them, before
James returned to Cleveland last July.
The Cavaliers dont even have the best

record in the Eastern


Conference, finishing in
second place behind
Atlanta. But they have
rolled through the second
half of the season so easily that its hard not to
consider this No. 2 as the
one.
We have an opportuniLeBron James
ty to do something special and that kicks off this weekend, James
said.
The Cavaliers start Sunday against
Boston, a familiar foe for James and the one
that ended his last postseason in a Cavaliers
uniform.
The playoffs begin Saturday with four
games: Washington visits Toronto in the
opener before the Warriors, 39-2 at home during the regular season, host Anthony Davis
and the New Orleans Pelicans. After that
come two short trips: Milwaukee travels to
Chicago and Dallas heads to Houston.
On Sunday, Atlanta hosts Brooklyn,
Portland visits Memphis, and the Los
Angeles Clippers welcome San Antonio for
the opener of what appears to be the marquee
first-round series.
The Spurs beautiful basketball overwhelmed James and the Heat in last years
finals and carried them to 21 wins in their
final 25 games this season and couldnt
put a dent in their deficit in the West standings. They ended up with the No. 6 seed after
losing in New Orleans on the final night of

the regular season, with a


55-27 record that was a
game worse than the
Clippers, who surged to a
56-26 finish with seven
straight victories.
Wed love to have been
in the 2 or 3 seeds
whatever it may be and
Tim Duncan started at home, the
Spurs Tim Duncan said.
But we have been on just about every route
possible throughout the years. This will be
another journey, and hopefully it will be a
fun one.
Thats what the Warriors want. And with an
MVP favorite in Curry, another All-Star in
the backcourt in Klay Thompson and a deep
bench, they have everything needed to make
it happen.
Its time to go and we are ready, Curry
said.
Some other things to watch in the playoffs:

series would be in line to meet the Warriors,


and either would be a threat if healthy. But
Marc Gasol, Mike Conley and Tony Allen of
Memphis limped to the finish, Arron Afflalo
joined Wesley Matthews on the sideline in
Portland, and its hard to tell which team is in
good enough shape to survive this series.

Texas two-step
The reward for James Harden and the
Rockets after earning the No. 2 seed? A
matchup against a Dallas team that won 50
games. The Rockets outscored the Mavericks
just 402-398 in their four meetings, and
Dallas had double-digit leads in three of
them.

Kidds kids
Jason Kidd won a first-round series as a No.
6 seed last year in Brooklyn. Hes back in
that spot after his first season coaching in
Milwaukee with a young team that will try to
overcome its playoff inexperience.

Roses return

Who wins?

Derrick Roses injury problems began in


the opener of the 2012 postseason when he
tore his ACL. He returned from his latest surgery to help the Bulls finish with four
straight victories to earn the No. 3 seed in
the East.

James is trying to finally win one in


Cleveland. The Spurs are trying to finally
win back to back. And the Warriors and
Hawks were better than both teams over the
course of the season, so even the experts are
having a hard time with that question. This
year, Ive got to be honest with you,
Barkley said, theres probably seven teams
that could actually win the championship and
Id be like, Im not surprised they won it.

How healthy?

NFL reinstates Adrian Peterson from suspension


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MINNEAPOLIS Adrian Peterson has


been cleared to return to the NFL. Now all
that remains to be settled is where he will
play next season.
Commissioner Roger Goodell sent the
Minnesota Vikings star a letter on Thursday
advising him of his reinstatement. Peterson
missed most of last season while facing
child abuse charges in Texas.
Goodell wrote that Peterson will have to
fulfill all the obligations of his plea deal

that reduced a felony


charge to a misdemeanor.
Goodell also told
Peterson he would have
to continue attending
counseling while adhering to the leagues new
personal conduct policy
to avoid further discipline.
Adrian
Any further violation
Peterson
of the personal conduct
policy by Peterson would result in addition-

al discipline, which could include suspension without pay or banishment from the
NFL, the league said.
Petersons agent has said the star running
back wants to play elsewhere next season.
But the Vikings say they have no plans to
trade him.
We look forward to Adrian re-joining the
Vikings, the team said in a statement
issued after the announcement.
Peterson was indicted on abuse charges
after inflicting injuries on his 4-year-old
son with a wooden switch. He played the

opener against St. Louis, then sat out the


remaining 15 games of the season while
tangling with the league over the discipline.
Harold Henderson, a league-appointed
arbitrator, rejected Petersons appeal and
upheld the suspension in December. The
NFLPAs petition in federal court to overrule
Henderson was granted by U.S. District
Judge David Doty, who ordered the appeal
back to the NFL for re-arbitration. The
league promptly appealed Dotys decision
to a higher court.

Pelicans Davis eagerly awaits playoff debut


By Brett Martel
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW ORLEANS It takes a certain selfconfidence for a college freshman to embrace


a potentially pejorative nickname like The
Unibrow.
Perhaps that was an early sign that Pelicans
forward Anthony Davis, who led Kentucky to
a national title in 2012, had not just the talent, but also the intangibles to lift a sinking
NBA franchise back to playoff contention.
Three years into his pro career, the jovial,
easygoing 22-year-old with one long eyebrow is emerging as one of the leagues
brightest young stars if not the brightest.
Now hell get to display all that talent on
the NBAs big stage.
New Orleans rising star will make his playoff debut against league-best Golden State on
Saturday, with a lot of eyes on him.

KNIGHTS
Continued from page 11
Despite extending his long arms as far as
he could, Urata somehow made contact,
sending the ball up the third-base line.
As soon as Urata got the ball down, Fong
broke for home, sliding under the tag at the
plate to give Hillsdale (10-0 PAL Ocean, 191 overall) a 1-0 lead.
Urata, a junior who immigrated to the
United States from Japan near the end of his
freshman year, did not have any doubt he
would get the job done.
I just wanted to win the game. I didnt
care how it looked, Urata said. Im very
confident in my bunting. I didnt find it
too hard to bunt (that ball).
Said Souza: Its not the first time we lost
on a squeeze play.

Im just proud of these


guys, proud of our coaching staff, Davis said,
sharing credit after his 31
points, 13 rebounds, three
blocks and two steals led
New Orleans to a playoffclinching victory over
defending champion San
Anthony Davis Antonio on the final
night of the regular season.
We made it made the playoffs, reached
our goal, Davis added. But its not over.
Davis is already a team leader and two-time
All-Star who seems destined for playoff success at some point, even if it doesnt come
this year against the top-seeded Warriors.
Golden State took three of four games from
New Orleans this season and finished with the
best record in the league by seven victories.

When it comes to winning, Davis has


already compiled a notable resume.
Just months after celebrating a college
national title in New Orleans, Davis was on
his way to the London Games, where at age
19 he won gold with Team USA.
By last summer, at 21, he was a premier
front-court force for the Americans as they
rolled to a FIBA World Cup title.
When Pelicans coach Monty Williams
reflects on his approach to developing Davis
game, he mentions advice he received from
his mentor, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich.
Pop taught me something a long time ago:
You dont want to mess it up. When you have
a player like A.D., you want to make sure you
give him a chance to be great, Williams said.
Thats what weve tried to do here.
With New Orleans, Davis has been allowed
to explore the bounds of his talent and
expand his game.

On offense, the 6-10 power forward is as


likely to pull up for a 20-foot jumper as
explode to the hoop for a rim-rattling dunk.

Turns out that was enough for Schembri to


pick up the win. Not that he didnt deserve
it. The senior right hander was nearly unhittable Thursday, pitching a complete game
while scattering three hits on just 82 pitches. He struck out three and walked two.
Early on, he showed he could establish
his curveball, said Hillsdale manager
James Madison. He just kept grinding for
us.
Aragon (6-2, 12-8) managed to get a runner as far as second base only twice in the
game and both times it came with two outs.
Schembri retired the first eight batters he
faced before Devin Grant legged out a buntsingle with two outs in the top of the third
inning. Kyle Tanaka followed with a bloop
single to center, but a groundout ended the
inning.
In the fourth, Spencer Walling led off the
inning with a walk and two fly outs later,
Hermann singled to left. But once again,

both runners were left stranded.


Aragon managed only one more base runner over the final three innings, a Tanaka
two-out walk in the fifth.
Hermann was just as impressive as he
took the hard-luck loss. He also pitched a
complete game and also held the opposition
to just three hits.
He did great and he was working without
a curveball the first couple of innings,
Souza said of Hermann. I thought he battled out there.
Hillsdale also let some opportunities go
by the wayside. In the bottom of the second, David Badet was hit by a pitch with two
outs and Justin Green followed with a walk,
but both runners were stranded.
In the third, Urata singled with two outs,
moved to second on a balk, took third on
another balk but was left there following a
groundout.
The Knights finally broke through in the

bottom of the fifth. With one out, Ryan


Fong legged out an infield hit and moved to
second on a wild pitch. Ro Mahanty followed with a single after fouling off four
straight pitches to put runners on the corners and bring up Urata. On the second pitch
from Hermann, Urata somehow got his bat
on the ball for a successful safety squeeze as
Fong hustled home with what turned out to
be the game-winning run.
Seeing the ball in the dirt (by Fong) and
taking second was the turning point in the
game, Madison said. [Urata] is seriously
the best bunter on our team. It worked out
for us.
The win keeps Hillsdale undefeated in PAL
Ocean Division play and a two-game lead
over second-place Aragon.
Its extremely important (to get the
sweep), Madison said. Now we control our
own destiny from here on out. This puts us
in a good position to close it out.

He doesnt really have a go-to move, so


its hard to really try to stop one specific
thing, Warriors forward Draymond Green
said Thursday. He doesnt overpower you. He
uses his length well. He uses his athleticism
well. Hes improved his jump shot a lot,
whether its 18 feet or a turnaround jumper in
the post.
Having played point guard in youth basketball before a growth spurt in high school,
Davis can dribble in the open floor on fast
breaks and shows an instinctive knack for
knowing when to pass. He displayed that part
of his game on Wednesday night, picking up
loose ball near mid-court, starting a fast
break the other way and quickly firing a chest
pass to the left corner, where Ryan Anderson
hit an open 3-pointer.

Going to the Kentucky Derby? Leave selfie sticks at home


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOUISVILLE, Ky. For the 160,000 people crammed into Churchill Downs on Derby
Day, picture-taking can run neck-and-neck
with betting and sipping mint juleps amid a
winning field of photo opportunities: sleek
racehorses, daring fashion statements,
celebrities and the twin spires.
But this year, theyd better not use selfie
sticks.
Joining a growing list of museums, music
festivals and sports venues around the world,
the iconic Louisville track hosting the 141st
running of the Kentucky Derby on May 2 has
banned the pole-like contraptions that grasp
cellphones and allow people a longer reach to
snap their self-portraits.
Other events such as the Coachella and
Lollapalooza music festivals also have
banned the photo aids. Prominent museums
including the Smithsonian and the National
Gallery of Art in Washington prohibit their
use. Selfie sticks arent allowed inside Yankee
Stadium. Some English Premier League soccer
teams make the devices off-limits, and the
Australian Open tennis tournament discour-

NBA
Continued from page 11
We Believe Warriors (42-40), who were
making their first playoff appearance since
1997. The Mavericks went 67-15 and
Nowitzki won NBA MVP, but they never
could solve Don Nelsons fast-paced smallball system. Golden State beat Dallas in six
games, becoming the first eight seed to win

ages fans from using them court-side.


Churchill Downs encourages selfies and the
avalanche of social media attention they can
generate. But banishing selfie sticks is a safety measure to protect the horses and the massive crowd on Derby Day, track spokesman
John Asher said.
I dont think its a huge sacrifice for anybody who loves to take a selfie, Asher said.
Youll still be able to take a selfie. You just
wont be able to take one of yourself as if your
arms were nine feet long.
The selfie stick ban will extend beyond
Derby Day to apply whenever there is live racing at Churchill, he said.
Chris Scherf, executive vice president of the
Thoroughbred Racing Associations, said he
hasnt heard of any other U.S. horse tracks
banning the devices. But he said he wouldnt
be surprised if other big tracks follow
Churchills lead.
Actually I would expect a lot of sports to
have concerns about their potential misuse,
he said in an email.
At Belmont Park in New York, a review of
security policies for the June 6 Belmont
Stakes will include selfie sticks, said track

spokeswoman Jenny Kellner.


Meanwhile, the NFL is evaluating whether
to allow the devices into stadiums next season, said league spokesman Brian McCarthy.
Canadian inventor Wayne Fromm, who
took out a selfie stick patent a decade ago, said
he had no problem with Churchills policy.
Its prudent to limit its use because, even
inadvertently, it could cause a problem, he
said. We have to roll with the punches.
Fromm said he doubts such policies will
hurt sales for his Quik Pod devices.
Its like saying if you cant use your camera
at a concert, does that mean people arent
going to buy cameras anymore? he said.
Another
selfie-stick
entrepreneur,
Jacqueline Verdier, CEO of Selfie on a Stick,
said banning the device from events like the
Derby is a disservice to fans.
There would have been some amazing
photo opportunities that unfortunately are not
going to be there, she said.
Verdier downplayed safety concerns with
the devices: Like so many other things in
life, people just have to be respectful of others
around them.
Natasha Jensen, a University of Louisville

student planning to attend this years Derby


with friends, said she sees the tracks ban as a
good safety precaution, especially in the
seemingly anything-goes infield.
It does get loud and rowdy, she said.
Jensen, a 21-year-old criminal justice
major, said she expects to spend more time
taking selfies than betting at the Derby: I
have such bad luck, I dont bet on horses very
much. She doesnt think the selfie stick ban
will generate much reaction.
I dont think it will be that big of a deal
this year because theyre still an up-and-coming product, she said.
Asher predicted that Derby Day will still
produce plenty of creative selfies, even without selfie sticks.
Churchill Downs officials worried that a
selfie stick along the rail could become a distraction for horses, Asher said. And its a day
when the alcohol flows during the long racing
card.
Somebody might think its a light saber
after a little while, Asher said, tongue-incheek. You never know.

Child 44 feels like 40 movies


By Jocelyn Noveck
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The best-selling novel


Child 44 by Tom Rob Smith
runs well over 400 pages, and
thats perhaps the first hint as
to why the movie based on it
seems to veer in 40 different
directions.
Its a political movie. Its a

left is a bloated, grim, underwhelming affair, which is


unfortunate because the
movie starts out with a lot
going for it. Besides the popular source material and the
compelling backdrop of fear
and repression in the Soviet
Union under Josef Stalin, the
film has an excellent cast starUltimately, what we have ring the always interesting

war film. Its a crime thriller.


And suddenly, late in the proceedings, it becomes an action
movie. At 137 minutes, the
movies also a good half-hour

Suge Knight is ordered to


stand trial, taken to hospital
By Brian Melley and Raquel Maria Dillon
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Former rap music mogul Marion Suge


Knight was hospitalized again on Thursday after a judge
ordered him to stand trial on murder and
attempted murder charges filed after he
ran over two men in a parking lot.
Knights condition and the cause of his
latest health problem were not immediately known, but it was the fifth time the
Death Row Records co-founder had been
taken from a courthouse to a hospital during proceedings in the case.
The latest trip came after Superior
Suge Knight Court Judge Ronald Coen rejected
Knights argument that he acted in self-defense when he was
viciously attacked by men outside a Compton burger stand.
Authorities contend Knight intentionally hit the men,
killing Terry Carter, 55, and injuring Cle Bone Sloan.
Knights attorney Matt Fletcher argued that his client was
ambushed and was trying to escape from Sloan when Knight
ran down the men in the attack captured on security video.
Theres no intent to kill, Fletcher said in court while
asking the judge to dismiss the case. Theres an intent to
survive.

Matt, Rolf Saxon, tries to tell Sally, Lauren English, how he feels in Aurora Theatre Companys Talleys Folly.

Opposites attract in Talleys Folly


By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

To have a chance at happiness, two


mismatched people must take risks and
let go of their fears.
Thats the challenge in Lanford
Wilsons 1980 Pulitzer Prize-winning
Talleys Folly, presented by Aurora
Theatre Company.
One of the two, Matt Friedman (Rolf
Saxon), a 42-year-old, European-born
Jewish accountant, takes the first risk
by driving 300 miles from St. Louis to
the small town of Lebanon, Missouri,
to woo the gentile Sally Talley (Lauren
English), a 31-year-old nurses aide he
had met the previous summer.
They meet in a decrepit boathouse
near the Talley family farm in the early
evening of July 4, 1944, during World
War II.
Matt appears first, telling the audience in an extended monologue that
this is a waltz. When Sally arrives

from work, their encounter is prickly.


She rebuffs his efforts to win her over
and tells him to leave. Yet when he
starts to go, one or the other finds a
reason to continue their conversation.
Eventually they reveal what lies
behind their fears. And its more than
just the surface differences between
them and the fact that Sallys family
doesnt think hes suitable for her.
This production takes place in
Auroras second space, Harrys
Upstage. This intimate setting works
well for the one-act, 97-minute, twoperson play, especially with Jon
Tracys rundown boathouse set and
ambient lighting.
The plays title comes from the boathouse, which was built by Sallys
grandfather to resemble a Victorian
gazebo. A folly is defined as a decorative structure that looks as if it has
some grander purpose.
For the most part, director Joy

Carlin paces the show well, but theres


not enough chemistry between the
actors.
Saxons performance as Matt can
seem repetitious, a problem mainly
with the script but partially with the
actor.
The role of Sally is more challenging because she has fewer lines, requiring the actor to convey reactions with
body language and facial expressions.
English does well with both.
This play is part of a trilogy that
includes Talley & Son, set in the
farmhouse on the same day, and Fifth
of July, set at the farm 33 years later.
Aurora will present staged readings of
Talley & Son and will soon open
Fifth of July.
Talleys Folly will continue
through June 5 at Aurora Theatre
Company,
2081 Addison St. ,
Berkeley, through June 7. For tickets

We then jump to 1953; Demidov is an

WEEKEND JOURNAL
tasked with tracking down traitors.
This is a world where, as one character
notes, it can be just our turn to be
denounced and arrested as a spy. And
indeed, things turn difficult for Demidov
when his MGB boss, Kuzman (Vincent
Cassel) orders him to investigate his own
wife, Raisa (a sensitive Noomi Rapace).
At the same time, Demidov has hit on
something disturbing: The young son of a
colleague has been killed by the train
tracks. Demidov knows from seeing the
body naked, and sliced up that the
boy was murdered, but hes ordered to tell
the family it was a train accident. Why?
Because in Stalins workers paradise,
murder doesnt exist; it only exists in
decadent capitalist societies.
Demidov doesnt have time to investigate further in Moscow because, having

refused to denounce his own wife, hes


roused from bed and exiled along with
Raisa to a far-off outpost, where hes
given a filthy room and an unglamorous
job under a mercurial boss (Gary Oldman,
welcome but underused).
But boys keep getting killed by train
tracks this is where the number 44
comes from and the movie keeps toggling between being a political history
film and a detective story (the serial
killer is actually based on the Rostov
Ripper, who in real life operated decades
later).
Demidov is determined to track down
the killer, and even returns to Moscow to
investigate on the sly. But a former colleague, Vasili (Joel Kinnaman, in a monochromatic villain role, with little to
explain his motivation) is bent not only

THE DAILY JOURNAL


on stopping him, but eliminating him.
In its final half hour, the movie
becomes an action film, with a couple of
vicious fight scenes a bloody free-forall in a train car, and an equally messy
struggle in a huge mud puddle.
We wont expose the ending here,
though fans of the book obviously know
it, and also know that Child 44 is the
first in a trilogy. Should the filmmakers
pursue the other installments, theyll
hopefully exercise a bit more discipline
and leave more on the editing room floor
next time around.
Child 44, a Lionsgate release, is rated
R by the Motion Picture Association of
America for violence, some disturbing
images, language and a scene of sexuality. Running time: 137 minutes. One and
a half stars out of four.

A one-pan approach to
getting dinner done fast
By Sara Moulton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

As kitchen wisdom goes, I often


think the best tricks are the simplest.
One-pan cooking, for example. The
ability to cook an entire meal on a single rimmed sheet pan an act that
leaves you with nothing but that one
pan to clean when dinners over to
me is nothing short of magic.
And the secret to making it work
really is just a matter of organizing the
order in which each ingredient lands
on the baking sheet to ensure each gets
neither too little nor too much time in
the oven. And this recipe for baked
steelhead trout with asparagus and
potatoes will show you just how easy
that is.
We start by seasoning all the parts
individually at the beginning of the
cooking process, not the end. If you
wait until the end, the salt wont do its
job, which isnt only to contribute
saltiness, but to enhance the flavor of
the ingredient to which its added. In
practice, salt doesnt so much amplify
flavor as tamp down bitterness, thus
allowing a foods other flavors
notably its sweetness or sourness
to shine.
First in the oven is the asparagus so
that it can be properly cooked and
lightly browned all by itself and without crowding. Any time you want to
brown a vegetable in the oven, you
must make sure to spread it out across
the pan in a single layer. Then the
asparagus takes a break and the potatoes go in. Finally the fish comes into
play. Lay it right on top of the nowbrowned potatoes and bake it until tender on the ovens middle shelf.
How do you know when the fish is
done? When a knife slides in with little
resistance, the fish is good to go.
Butter and herbs are this recipes
crowning touch. The hot fish melts the
butter, creating a kind of instant sauce.
Simple, right? Delicious, too. And just
one pan to clean up. Now thats my
kind of meal.

Food briefs
USDA: Standards for organic seafood coming
WASHINGTON After more than a decade of delays, the
government is moving toward allowing the sale of U.S.raised organic fish and shellfish. But dont expect it in the
grocery store anytime soon.
The Agriculture Department says it will propose standards
for the farmed organic fish this year. That means the seafood
could be available in as few as two years but only if
USDA moves quickly to complete the rules and seafood companies decide to embrace them.
Organic seafood would be welcome news for the increasing number of organic shoppers and for retailers that
have profited from their higher prices. It also could help the
U.S. farmed fish industry find a premium as it struggles to
compete against cheaper imports.
Among the seafood that is commonly farm-raised in the
United States and would be covered: salmon, tilapia, catfish, shrimp and mollusks such as mussels, oysters and
clams.
The United States is trying to play catch-up on organic
aquaculture, says Miles McEvoy, who heads up USDAs
organic program. The European Union and Canada, along
with other countries, have been exporting their own organic products to the United States.

Entopreneurs feed growing


appetite for edible insects

Butter and herbs are this recipes crowning touch. The hot fish melts the butter,
creating a kind of instant sauce.
Servings: 4
1 1/2 bunches asparagus (about 1 1/2
pounds), tough ends discarded and
stems peeled if thicker than 1/3 inch
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive
oil, divided
Salt and ground black pepper
1 1/4 pounds Yukon Gold or large
boiling potatoes, sliced crosswise 1/4
inch thick (leave the skins on)
1 1/2 pounds skinned steelhead
trout, divided into 4 portions
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut
into thin slices
1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs, such as
dill, chives, tarragon, basil or a mix
Heat the oven to 450 F. Line a
rimmed baking sheet with foil.
On the prepared baking sheet, toss
the asparagus with 2 teaspoons of the
oil and a generous pinch each of salt
and pepper. Spread the asparagus in an
even layer. Bake on the ovens top
rack until starting to brown and are
crisp-tender, about 7 minutes for
thicker asparagus, 3 minutes for thin
asparagus. Transfer to a plate and set
aside.
On the baking sheet, toss the pota-

toes with another 2 teaspoons of the


oil and a generous pinch each of salt
and pepper. Spread the potatoes in an
even layer. Bake on the ovens top
rack until barely golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven
and reduce the temperature to 400 F.
Arrange the fish pieces in one layer
on top of the potatoes, sprinkle them
with the lemon juice, drizzle with the
remaining 2 teaspoons of oil, then
season with salt and pepper. Set the
pan on the ovens middle shelf and
bake for 5 minutes. Add the asparagus
to the sheet pan and bake another 2 to
3 minutes, or until the fish is just
cooked through.
Transfer the fish to 4 serving plates
and top each portion with a few slices
of butter. Transfer a quarter of the potatoes and asparagus to each of the
plates, then sprinkle the herbs over
each serving.

And they could be coming to a dinner plate near you.
An increasing number of entopreneurs are launching
businesses to feed a growing appetite for crickets, mealworms and other edible insects.
These upstarts are trying to persuade more Americans to
eat bugs, which can be produced with less land, food and
water than other sources of animal protein.
The United Nations has been promoting edible insects as
a way to improve nutrition, reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and create jobs in insect production. At least 2 billion
people worldwide already eat insects as part of their diet,
according to the 2013 report by the U. N. Food and

New Star Wars teaser, cast DINING


information revealed at event
Continued from page 1

By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANAHEIM The force wont officially awaken until December, but Star
Wars fans got an early glimpse
Thursday with the debut of a spooky
new teaser trailer for Star Wars: The
Force Awakens.
The clip features the wreckage of a
star destroyer, X-Wing battles, the
Millennium Falcon in action, and a
first look at Harrison Ford as Han
Solo.
Chewie, were home, Solo says at
the close of the brief teaser, prompting
the audience to scream and applaud.
Die-hard fans packed the main hall at
the Anaheim Convention Center for
the event known as Star Wars
Celebration. They wore costumes and
wielded light sabers as they watched
director J.J. Abrams and producer and
Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy
kick off the four-day event.
Franchise cast newcomers Oscar

anecdotes about the highly anticipated

Abrams, who is finishing the edit of
the film, spoke about his love for the
series and his insistence on keeping
sets for the new episode as real as possible, even in the age of computergenerated images.
The thing that struck me ... is how
real you knew and felt Star Wars was
when you first saw A New Hope, he
said. You want it to be legitimate. You
want it to be authentic. Building as
much as we could was really the mandate.
He also revealed that the desert landscape seen in both teasers was the
planet Jakku, not Tatooine as seen in
other episodes. Filming took place in
Abu Dhabi to get the John Ford landscapes a reference to the renowned
director of Westerns.
Its a Western and a fairy tale as
much as anything else, Abrams said

Ridley said her character Rey is a
scavenger who is completely self-sufficient and solitary until she meets
another character. In the new teaser,
viewers see Rey meeting Finn, the
character played by Boyega, who
wears a storm trooper suit in the clip
and is in unspecified immediate danger.
Isaac said his character Poe
Dameron, an X-Wing pilot, is the
best freaking pilot in the whole
galaxy.
Star Wars veterans Mark Hamill,
Carrie Fisher, C-3PO actor Anthony
Daniels and Chewbacca actor Peter

After striving to find a suitable alternative where it


could serve nearly 48,000 hot meals, Charlow said San
Mateo city officials allowed them to use the Worker
Resource Center.
This is one of the best things, one of the good things
going on in my life right now, said Ignacio Martinez,
who started coming to the Worker Resource Center about
a week ago. Ive made a few friends and the food is
good.
Rick Rio, who was getting his dinner of teriyaki chicken, rice and vegetables to go, said hes been frequenting
the Samaritan House dining services off and on for several years. After spending some time in Southern
California, Rio said hes back in the Bay Area looking for
work and appreciates the volunteers at the dining room.
Its the best. These guys are great, they come here rain
or shine and theyre nice and friendly, Rio said. Places
like this really help out a lot. A hot meal like this is just
beautiful.
Its former locations did not allow access to other forms
of assistance, while the Worker Resource Center does,
Charlow said.
Even more, we provide access to our case management
services there and well also be providing even more
things like job training and classes. So people will be
able to access many of their needs, not just the basic
access of needed food, Charlow said. We want them to
take advantage and this is a gentle way to introduce them
to [other services].
Food service is a vital component of the San Mateobased nonprofits mission and includes preparing
154,000 hot meals annually, some of which are distributed to the disabled and isolated seniors, providing
33,000 bags of groceries each year and offering 19,000
lunches and after-school snacks for impoverished children, Charlow said.
People ask, why are you feeding folks? And my
answer is its the most basic need we all have to survive.
And even more so, no one can concentrate on job training
or anything else that will help them get ahead until they
know where their familys next meal is coming from. And
we take care of that, Charlow said.
Charlow said the organization is grateful for its fruitful
partnerships with Second Harvest Food Bank and major
grocery chains in the area who are very generous in supporting us with food every single day.
While Charlow is thrilled to have found another location thats proving successful since it opened a few weeks
ago, the Worker Resource Center site is owned by the city
and ripe for redevelopment.
The center, along with the neighboring former Kinkos
site, were purchased with former redevelopment agency
funds in the late 1990s. After years of negotiating to
retain the redevelopment properties, the California
Department of Finance agreed to allow San Mateo to
retain the properties in January.
While numerous ideas have been generated for what the
prime downtown parcels could become, redevelopment is
a long ways away and city officials have expressed support for the community-serving Samaritan House.
We work with the city hand in hand. And the city does
have control of the property now and long term they will
be using that for redeveloping, probably more parking.
But theres the possibility of including some services
like ours in the future in the building, but were talking
three to five years out, Charlow said.
In the near future, Samaritan House is hosting its annual Knock Out Hunger! fundraiser. This Saturday, hundreds
of guests are invited to the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Foster
City for a swanky evening of music, drinks, dinner, auctions and a live cooking demonstration by celebrity master chef Martin Yan. The annual event serves as Samaritan
Houses main event dedicated to food and nutrition,
Charlow said.
As the nonprofit provides a broad range of social services to those in need from free health care clinics to housing assistance, Charlow said its a relief that theyre able
to use a central location to provide sustenance to those in
need.
For the moment, this is the dining room and its being
well received. Theres tremendous support from local
organizations, religious and service organizations, helping us to once again make it a wonderful place, Charlow
said. The main thing is we are serving our lovely dinner
there and families desperately need this.

BUDGET
Continued from page 1
officials are required to submit a multiyear budget projection to the Office of
Education proving fiscal solvency.
To carve the final $400,000 off the
budget deficit, officials are exploring a
variety of painful options such as sharing principals between schools, closing libraries, firing counselors, among
other service reductions.
Should the district not be able to
come up with an independent strategy
for closing the budget gap, county education officials would step in and begin
assisting them with their fiscal management.
The $400,000 shortfall remains after
the district has approved more than
$1.9 million in budget reductions.
Officials are hoping that the community will turn out to the meeting next
week to prioritize education services
most important to them, which would
then give the board a sense of what programs might be the least harmful to
cut.
Trustee Patrick Flynn said at the
meeting he was not prepared to make
such substantive program reductions
without first asking the community
one final time to help address the budget issues.
We need to embrace our community,
and we need to work with them to get

On Wednesday night, the Harbor
District Board of Commissioners unanimously approved leasing the second

this done soon, he said.


Flynn had challenged the community
to raise $191,000 through the education foundation which would serve to
pay teachers and reduce class sizes. At
last count, it was estimated the foundation had raised nearly $7,000.
Trustee Henry Sanchez took a much
more hard-lined stance on the budget
struggles by proposing implementing
2 percent pay cuts to all district staff,
and sharing a principal between two
schools, which would cut $426,000
from the budget in coming years.
He then proposed closing one of the
districts neighborhood schools, to
serve as an ongoing source of savings,
which would provide a source of funding to reinstate the money workers
gave up in pay cuts.
We have too many elementary
schools in this district, he said. That
is
an
ongoing
issue.
Sanchezs proposal for pay cuts comes
when district teachers are requesting
their first raise in nearly a decade. The
board previously approved implementing a 1 percent pay cut across the board
to all district staff, but that action cannot be budgeted without being agreed
upon during collective bargaining.
Educators and district leaders have
come to standstill in contract negotiations, which has caused members of the
community to rally behind teachers.
Officials said they are hoping to capitalize on the enthusiastic support residents have shown, rather than shutter
schools.

I cant palate losing a school at this


point, I dont think the community
will get behind that, said Flynn.
But Sanchez insisted the board consider all options on the table.
Theres no putzing around, he said.
Its a painful list, but its got to be
done, and thats what we have been
elected to do.
The board will meet again
Wednesday, March 22, at Parkside
Intermediate School, 1081 Niles Ave.,
San Bruno, to further discuss the budget.
Later in the meeting, the board
approved issuing a request for proposals to explore asking the community to
pass a parcel tax.
Officials also unanimously approved
hiring new Superintendent Cheryl
Olson, and Associate Superintendent of
Business Services Sean McGinn.
Under the agreement, Olson will earn
$162,000 annual salary, when she
begins work July 1.
Olson will replace outgoing superintendent David Hutt, who earned roughly
$132,000 per year.
The new superintendent addressed the
crowd assembled at the board meeting.
Thank your for trusting me to take
this opportunity to travel this journey, she said.

good opportunities right now.


Not only will the district save money
on a lower monthly rent, district officials have wanted to be closer to its
main charge, Pillar Point Harbor, since
it originally moved in 2004.
Looking at the numbers and doing
the math, we just felt that renting on
the coastside would be a better option
right now. In the future, who knows, we
may want to purchase something someday but right now this is the best
option because it brings us closer to
the coastside and has a better rent
price,
said
Harbor
District
Commissioner Robert Bernardo.
Currently, the district is paying
$8,085 to rent space in South San
Francisco and likely spends nearly
$10,000 a year paying staff to set up
meetings at off-site locations, board
President Sabrina Brennan wrote in an
email.
The district has been rotating
between holding meetings at the South
San Francisco Municipal Services
building and at Sea Crest School in
Half Moon Bay, but renting in El
Granada will avail itself to on-site
meetings.
The new building is running the special district $7,000 a month for the
first year and is expected to increase by

$300 annually for the duration of the


lease.
However, once the district gets settled in its second-floor space, part of
the office may be sectioned off and
leased to someone else thereby saving
the district $600 per month, said
Interim General Manager Scott Grindy.
The Harbor District will also share
the 8,050-square-foot building with
the recently revamped El Granada
Community Services District, formerly
the Granada Sanitary District.
After deciding not to purchase the
same property last year, the Board of
Commissioners signed another lease
for its South San Francisco headquarters and will incur about $3,000 in
fines to opt out early, Grindy said.
Brennan was disappointed when the
board opted not to follow through with
the original purchase, but is satisfied it
will finally be relocating.
I would have preferred to buy the
building when it was on the market,
however, the current landlord is not
interested in selling at this time,
Brennan wrote in an email. This time,
I think the board made a positive decision.

Thousands flee as
IS group advances
on Iraqs Ramadi
By Sameer N. Yacoub
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD More than 2,000


families have fled the Iraqi city of
Ramadi with little more than the
clothes on their backs, officials
said Thursday, as the Islamic State
group closed in on the capital of
western Anbar province, clashing
with Iraqi troops and turning it
into a ghost town.
The extremist group, which has
controlled the nearby city of
Fallujah for more than a year, captured three villages on Ramadis
eastern outskirts on Wednesday.
The advance is widely seen as a
counteroffensive after the Islamic
State group lost the city of Tikrit,
Saddam Husseins hometown, earlier this month.
Hundreds of U. S. troops are
training Iraqi forces at a military
base west of Ramadi, but a U.S.
military official said the fighting
had no impact on the U.S. soldiers

there, and that there were no plans


to withdraw them.
The fleeing Ramadi residents
were settling in the southern and
western suburbs of Baghdad, and
tents, food and other aid were
being sent to them, said Sattar
Nowruz, an official of the
Ministry of Migration and the
Displaced.
The ministry was assessing the
situation with the provincial government in order to provide the
displaced people, who are undergoing difficult conditions, with
better services and help, Nowruz
said.
Sporadic clashes were still
underway Thursday, according to
security officials in Ramadi.
Government forces control the
city center, while the IS group has
had a presence in the suburbs and
outskirts for months. They
described Ramadi as a ghost town,
with empty streets and closed
shops.

Obama could ease Iranian
sanctions without Congress

REUTERS

Iraqi security forces make their way during a patrol looking for Islamic
State militants on the outskirts of Ramadi.
Video
obtained
by
the
Associated Press showed plumes
of thick, black smoke billowing
above the city as fighter jets
pounded militant targets. On the
city outskirts, displaced residents
frantically tried to make their way
out amid the heavy bombardment.
U.S.-led coalition airstrikes targeted the IS group in Sjariyah,
Albu-Ghanim and Soufiya, the
three villages the extremists captured Wednesday, the officials
added. They spoke on condition of

anonymity because they were not


allowed to talk to the media.
Anbars deputy governor, Faleh
al-Issawi, described the situation
in Ramadi as catastrophic and
urged the central government to
send in reinforcements.
We urge the Baghdad government to supply us immediately
with troops and weapons in order
to help us prevent the city from
falling into the hands of the IS
group, he told the Associated
Press in a telephone interview.

Putin confident on economy, offers to mend ties with West


By Vladimir Isachenkov
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MOSCOW Russia has weathered the worst of its economic


troubles and is on the road to
recovery, President Vladimir
Putin said Thursday during a
marathon call-in TV show, offering to normalize ties with the
West if it treats Moscow as an
equal partner and not a vassal.
He also defended the delivery of
a long-range air defense missile
system to Iran, casting it as a
reward for Tehrans flexibility in
nuclear talks and vowing to continue working with global part-

ners to reach a
definitive solution to the
countrys contested nuclear
program.
Putin mixed
promises with
stern warnings
some
Vladimir Putin and
humor during
the carefully choreographed fourhour national broadcast, an annual affair intended to burnish his
father-of-the nation image and
secure his control over the
Russian political scene.
His main message was that the

31

gravest challenges are over and


the slumping economy will be
back on track soon.
He also made it clear that
Russia wants an end to fighting
in eastern Ukraine and is interested in rebuilding damaged ties
with the United States and other
Western nations. The U.S. and
the European Union imposed
sanctions on Russia over
Moscows annexation of the
Crimean Peninsula and accusations of supporting separatists
in Ukraine.
At the same time, he reaffirmed
his long-held criticism of what
he sees as U.S. aspirations of

global domination, saying


Washington must learn to treat
Russia as an equal partner.
The main condition for restoring normal relations is to have
respect for Russia and its interests, Putin said, adding that the
United States doesnt need
allies; they need vassals.
While Putin sounded confident
and looked relaxed while discussing the economy and global
crises, he appeared uneasy and
tense while responding to questions about the killing of top
opposition leader Boris Nemtsov
just outside the Kremlin on Feb.
27.

WASHINGTON Even if
Congress rejects his final Iranian
nuclear deal, President Barack
Obama could use his executive pen
to offer Tehran a hefty portion of
sanctions relief on his own.
Lawmakers have insisted on having a say on what could be a historic accord that the U.S. and five
other nations are trying to finalize
with Iran. The aim is to prevent the
Islamic state from developing
nuclear weapons, while in return
Iran would get a break from U.S.,
European and U.N. sanctions that
are choking its economy.
Negotiators are working to complete a final deal by the end of
June. Talks will resume next week
in Vienna, it was announced
Thursday.
In the meantime, legislation is
expected to pass both the Senate
and House that would block Obama
from using his current authority to
waive congressional sanctions
against Iran for at least 30 days
after any final agreement, to give
lawmakers time to weigh in.

Greek bond yields soar as


debt default fears swell
LONDON Mounting fears of a
Greek debt default sent the countrys borrowing costs surging
Thursday and prompted one prominent U.K. bookmaker to stop taking bets on the possibility of
Greece leaving the euro.
The jitters were triggered initially by a report in the Financial
Times that the Greek government
recently made an informal
approach to the International
Monetary Fund to have bailout
repayments delayed.
Unease was also stoked by evidence that the Greek government is
shuffling around resources to cover
costs and by pessimistic comments over the prospect of a deal
between Athens and its European
creditors.
