Sixth attempt at Foster City marina quashed

City Council, residents concerned over housing, school and traffic
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Amid continued protest over the

potential impacts more housing
in Foster City could spark, officials heeded residents concerns
by rejecting a proposal to create
the Bayside communitys first
marina.

Crowds overflowed a council

study session Monday night held
to review Foster City resident Sam
Runcos dream of creating the
Foster City Marina Project an
ambitious proposal tied to developing 160 residential units atop a
portion of his 63-acre site at
Beach Park Boulevard near Halibut
and Swordfish streets.

Originally proposed in April

2014, the developers scaled back
their plans which now included
fewer residences, 20,500 square
feet of retail space, a 2,500-square
foot publicly accessible building
with a community room and boardwalk. Instead of a 214-boat slip
marina, they leaned toward creating a pier with anchored buoys

where boats could be seasonally

kept without a protective breakwater, according to a city staff
report.
The group aims to create a visitor- and community-serving destination, the construction of which
would include restoring nearby
wetlands, building a protective
levee and an approximate three-

quarters of a mile extension of the

Bay Trail, said JC Miller, an architect with the project.
While a marina is called for in

County to study rent control

Supervisors form Blue Ribbon Task Force on Housing
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The San Mateo County Board of

Supervisors moved toward studying rent stabilization Tuesday and
formed a Blue Ribbon Task Force
on Housing despite being urged to
abandon the idea by property
rights advocates.
While affordable housing backers praised the move, representatives with both the San Mateo
County Association of Realtors
and the Tri-County California
Apartment Association told the
board that rent stabilization is

simply a code word for rent control and that it will not solve the
countys long-term housing
needs.
Joshua Howard, with the local
apartment association, said job
growth has caused the demand for
housing to skyrocket and that
some property owners he called a
few bad apples have taken
advantage of their tenants by jacking up their rents.
We are discouraging property
owners to not be the poster child
for rent control, Howard said
about property owners who have
raised rents exorbitantly and

recent efforts to highlight the

impacts on the areas working
poor.
Another apartment association
official, Rhovy Lyn Antonio, said
rent control undermines the work
and progress of cities to create
more affordable housing.
Rent control is a divisive issue
and not warranted, Antonio said.
Her group, she said, has worked
with cities on developing their
housing elements and also with
the countys housing division.

Neighbors worry about housings impact

Residents in South San Francisco say proposed 36-unit development would bring too much traffic
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A housing development with as many as

36 units on the final sliver of farmland left
in South San Francisco is set for council
approval, but some residents are concerned
about how the project might impact the surrounding neighborhood.
During the council meeting Wednesday,
Feb. 25, city staff is recommending the City
Council approve a proposed 35-unit development slated to include some affordable
housing, at 1256 Mission Road, east of the
BART station, in the Sunshine Gardens
neighborhood.
But some residents are afraid that neighborhood parking will be overwhelmed by
those who will eventually move into the
housing project.
I am extremely disappointed that the city
is considering squeezing in yet one more
development without any regard to the quiet
community of Sunshine Gardens, wrote
Louise Pacheco to the city, expressing her
dissent toward the project.
Pacheco, whose parents live on Baywood
Avenue near the proposed site for development, said she is concerned about a recent
amendment to the site plans, which would
allow people to drive into the development
onto her parents street.
Access from Baywood will invite overflow parking issues on this peaceful street
and inconvenience the longtime residents
who live there, according to the letter.
She is not ultimately against the project,
but mostly concerned about the impact it
will have on Baywood Avenue, according to
the letter.
Disrupting a quiet community like
Sunshine Gardens is not in the best interest
of the residents who are loyal, longtime taxpaying citizens, according to the letter.
Mayor Rich Garbarino said he understands
the concerns of neighborhood residents, but
said he believes that some might be over-

Comment on
or share this story at
www.smdailyjournal.com
stating the impact the project will have on
the surrounding area.
I dont know if its as big of an issue that
the neighborhood is imagining it to be, he
said.
Should the project be approved and eventually built, he said parking might be a concern in Sunshine Gardens, but that is a common issue throughout all of South San
Francisco.
Parking is a problem across the city, I
dont care which neighborhood, he said.
Ultimately, Garbarino sympathized with
residents, but expressed skepticism about
their degree of frustration.
I understand their concerns, I get it, but I
dont think its going to be that big of an
issue, he said.
He expressed appreciation for the project,
citing its proximity to BART and fitting in
well with the citys effort to build more
housing, as well as meeting the regions
need for increased affordable housing.
Im very excited about the plan, he said.
I think its an excellent project. The
demand for housing is going through the
roof. How do we meet that demand? By carefully looking at development that fits into
what our needs are.
The site is bounded by Mission Road to
the southwest, Baywood Avenue to the
northeast and Edgewood Way to the east. El
Camino High School is about one block to
the northwest and Sunshine Gardens
Elementary school is nearly a quarter mile
nearby.
There are two current designs proposed for
council approval. The recommended configuration by city staff remains the original
layout, which would build 35 condominium
units on two separate lots, featuring 31 units

on one lot and four units on another.

City staff designed an alternative configuration following the request of council,
which features 29 condominiums on a single
lot, and an additional seven on another. The
alternative design proposal would allow
access to 29 units from Mission Road, and
additional seven would be accessed from
Baywood Avenue.
Should the council approve building the
revised vision of the development, some of
the units would need to be reconfigured,
causing the entire project to rise to 35 feet
tall, 10 feet higher than the citys policy
regulating residential building height.
Since the developer, City Ventures,
reserved seven of the units as affordable
housing, the project would be allowed to be
built beyond the maximum height capacity.
Under the original proposal, only two-thirds
of the project would rise about the 25-foot
height limit.
At previous public meetings, residents
expressed concerns about the impact of the
proposed height of the project.
The developer is also requesting to build
slightly denser units, according to the staff
report.
A city report, signed by City Manager
Mike Futrell and Alex Greenwood, director
of Economic and Community Development,
praised the project as it accomplishes a variety of goals set by the general plan, as well
as the citys vision for building more housing near sources of public transportation.
The proposed project seeks to transform
a largely vacant, underutilized site by constructing a high-quality, well-designed medium-density residential development that furthers the citys vision for transit-oriented
development in close proximity to the
South San Francisco BART station, according to the report.

Redwood City school district to

explore bond measure outreach
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Classroom modernization and facility

maintenance in the Redwood City
Elementary School District are priorities for
a potential bond measure, which officials
are recommending the Board of Trustees
approve spending more than $34,000 to
further investigate, according to a district
report.
A report in advance of the board meeting
Wednesday, Feb. 25, showed Superintendent
Jan Christensen asking the board to
approve paying $27,100 to Godbe Research
to assess the feasibility of placing a potential bond measure on a future ballot. As well,
she recommended paying $7,500 to TBWB
Strategies to gain a better understanding of
support from local voters for a school facilities bond.
District spokeswoman Naomi Hunter said
in an email the district is in the process of
assessing the state of its facilities, and bond
money may be necessary to modernize and
upgrade campuses across the district.
New ways of teaching and learning
require different types of spaces than the
classrooms ... in the past, she said. Most
of our buildings were built in the post-World
War II era or earlier, with very little modification over the years that accommodate the
way students learn and work today.
Should the board approve spending
money for voter opinion research, Godbe
Research will conduct an 18-minute survey
of 500 voters in the school district, regarding the possible feasibility of placing a
bond measure on a future ballot, according
to a district report.
Under approval of the payment to TBWB
Strategies, the district hopes to glean a
clearer view how district voters feel about
the state of school facilities, and whether
they might be willing to consider approving a bond to upgrade them, according to the
report.
The district would like to learn more
about the communitys perceptions of its
schools and facilities, and to gain an understanding of potential voter support for a
school facilities bond to improve Redwood
City schools, according to the report.

California Senate Republicans

pick leader, delay transition
SACRAMENTO Republicans in the
state Senate have chosen a new minority

They chose Sen. Jean Fuller of Bakersfield

woman Republican leader when she assumes
the post on Nov. 1.
Huff has served as leader since January
2012. He is termed out in 2016, while Fuller

Cal Water replacing

water mains in San Carlos

Local briefs
Department at (650) 877-8900.

California Water Service completed the

replacement of 1,900 feet of aging water
mains on Hillcrest Road in San Carlos, and
the installation of two fire hydrants, to
improve water supply reliability and fire protection capabilities to the city, the utility
announced this week.
Cal Water crews also recently began a
1,950-foot-long main replacement project on
nearby Sunset Drive. Like the mains on
Hillcrest Road, the original 4- and 6-inch
cast-iron main on Sunset Drive will be
replaced with 6-inch ductile iron water main
to increase flow and improve water quality and
reliability. The existing water mains were
starting to leak and in declining condition due
to their age and the limited materials that were
available when the pipeline was originally
built, according to the utility.
The ongoing main replacement project on
Sunset Drive begins at the intersection of
Brittan Avenue and concludes at Rogers
Avenue. Construction, which takes place during normal business hours, is expected to be
completed at the end of March. The road will
be closed to through traffic with local access
only and slight delays possible, according to
the utility.
Cal Water serves about 187,600 people
through 53,200 service connections in San
Mateo, San Carlos, and South San Francisco.
The company has provided water service in
the area since 1931. Additional information
may
be
obtained

San Mateo teens

plead no contest to assault
Two San Mateo residents pleaded no contest
Monday to assault charges in connection
with a September robbery and assault, San
Mateo County prosecutors said Tuesday.
Cristian Zarco, 18, and Rafael Morales, 19,
appeared in San Mateo County Superior Court
Monday and pleaded no contest to felony
assault with an enhancement for infliction of
great bodily injury in connection with the
Sept. 6, 2014, attack, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors said the victim was walking
home around 2 a.m. and cut through the
Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center,
located at East Santa Inez Avenue and North
Eldorado Street, in San Mateo.
The defendants approached him, saying
they were Norteo gangmembers and hated
Sureos. When the victim said he was not a
gangmember, they reportedly made him drink
from a bottle of alcohol and then grabbed him
and began beating him, prosecutors said.
The victim was beaten to unconsciousness
and suffered injuries to his face and head, prosecutors said.
A passerby who saw the attack called
police, who found Zarco nearby with the victims backpack. A warrant search of Morales
home turned up the victims cellphone and
bloody clothing, prosecutors said.
Zarco, who was 17 years old at the time of
the attack, was charged as an adult in the case.
Both he and Morales face a maximum sentence of seven years in state prison, based on
the terms of their plea agreement. They are
scheduled to return to court on May 7 for sentencing.

Californias plastic-bag ban

suspended by referendum
By Judy Lin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO A trade group has turned

in enough signatures to qualify a referendum
on Californias plastic bag ban law, suspending implementation of the nations first
statewide ban until voters weigh in on the
November 2016 ballot, state elections officials said Tuesday.
The plastic bag manufacturing trade group
American Progressive Bag Alliance had
555,000 of the roughly 505,000 valid signatures needed to qualify the referendum after
a random sample of the signatures, said Bill
Mabie, chief deputy for Secretary of State
Alex Padilla. The group had submitted more
than 800,000 at the end of last year.
After one of the fiercest legislative battles
of 2014, pitting bag-makers against envi-

Rita Gorden

ronmentalists, Gov. Jerry Brown signed the

bill last fall. It was scheduled to be phased in
starting in July at large grocery stores and
supermarkets as a way to cut down on litter
and protect marine life.
But the American Progressive Bag
Alliance said the ban amounts to a cash giveaway to grocers that would lead to a loss of
thousands of manufacturing jobs. The
alliance had no immediate comment Tuesday,
but previously said the ballot measure gives
Californians a chance to weigh in.
Supporters of the statewide ban criticized
manufacturers for spending millions on the
referendum campaign in order to continue
selling single-use plastic bags. This is a
cynical ploy by out-of-state interests desperate to delay a ban already adopted in more
than 100 communities across California,
Browns spokesman Evan Westrup said.

U.K. police believe
missing schoolgirls
have entered Syria
LONDON Police investigating the disappearance of three
British schoolgirls said Tuesday
they believe the teenagers are no
longer in Turkey and have crossed
into Syria likely joining
dozens of other young women
leaving Europe to join terrorists.
The disappearance of the three
British girls, aged 15 to 16, underlines fears that growing numbers
in Britain and Europe are lured by
online propaganda to join the
Islamic State group and become
jihadi brides.
Security officials say at least
500 Britons have travelled to
Syria to fight with extremists,
often via Turkey. Experts estimate
about 50 are female.
The three girls in the latest case
all described as straight-A students from a highly-regarded
London school went missing
from their homes on Feb. 17.
Authorities say they boarded a
plane to Istanbul.
The families of Shamima
Begum, 15, Kadiza Sultana, 16,
and Amira Abase, 15, have

Toddler dies of measles in

Berlin, first death in outbreak
BERLIN An 18-month-old
boy has died of measles in Berlin,
the first known death in an outbreak of the disease that has seen
more than 570 cases in the German
capital since October.
An autopsy on the child, who
died on Feb. 18 and wasnt immunized against measles, showed he
had an unspecified medical condition, but it wouldnt have led to his
death without the measles infection, the Charite hospital said
Tuesday.
The German outbreak coincides
with smaller ones in the United
States, where 154 measles cases
have been reported this year,
three-quarters of them tied to an
outbreak that started in Disneyland
in December.
Authorities believe the Berlin
measles infections began with a
child from Bosnia whose family
was seeking asylum.

In a bind, GOP offers vote

on Homeland Security bill
By David Espo
and Erica Werner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON A partial
agency
shutdown
looming,
Senate Republicans offered on
Tuesday to permit a vote on
Homeland Security funding legislation stripped of immigration
provisions backed by conservatives but strongly opposed by
President Barack Obama and fellow Democrats.
We could have that vote very
quickly, Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell, R-Ky., as his party
struggled to escape a political
predicament of its own making
involving an agency with major
anti-terrorism responsibilities.
McConnell said he did not know
how the Republican-controlled
House would respond if a standalone spending bill passed and
the next step was up to the House.
Underscoring the realities of
divided government, Senate
Democratic leader Harry Reid of
Nevada initially said he wouldnt
agree to the proposal unless it had
the backing of Speaker John
Boehner.
With many House Republicans
still returning to Washington
after a weeklong vacation,

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell talks to the media, after a weekly Senate Republican caucus luncheon
on Capitol Hill.
Boehners office issued a statement that neither accepted nor
rejected the proposal that
McConnell outlined after weeks
of gridlock.
The speaker has been clear:
The House has acted, and now

Senate Democrats need to stop

hiding. Will they continue to
block funding for the Department
of Homeland Security or not?
said a spokesman, Michael Steel.
Senate Republican officials said
McConnells offer of a vote on a

stand-alone funding bill also

envisions a vote on a separate
measure to repeal a directive from
Obama last fall that shields about
4 million immigrants from deportation even though they live in
the United States illegally.

OPINION

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Community can help to solve San Bruno school issues

ith an ongoing structural

decit and employees distressed by a lack of raises
for nearly a decade, the San Bruno
Park Elementary School District is in
a difcult situation made more difcult
by the lack of a clear plan to get out
of said situation.
With school nances stabilizing
after the Great Recession and a new
state funding formula, San Bruno Park
is proving to be the exception to the
recent rule that school districts are
beginning to give out raises after
years of being forced not to.
Last year, the district was faced with
the possibility of prolonging ve
teacher furlough days enacted during
the economic downturn because of its
nances but ultimately funded the
restoration of the furlough days
through money earmarked by the state
in connection with the implementation of new Common Core state standards. The decision was heralded by
teachers who felt the included teacher
training days would help prepare for
the new standards.
At turns, the district has faced the
prospect of closing schools because
of decreasing enrollment and is again
facing whether that may be an option
for the district to ensure its budget is
balanced.
Just last week, the board approved
cutting roughly $1.9 million from its
$2.1 million decit, by trimming

Editorial
from special education services and
setting class sizes at 31 students per
teacher among other budget balancing
measures. It was decided the additional
amount needed to bridge the decit
would come from an across-the-board
pay cut of 1 percent, though that must
be approved during collective bargaining with teacher unions. A 1 percent cut is nowhere near the 8 percent
increase teachers were requesting but
better than the 4 percent cut district
ofcials were proposing.
In negotiations, it is de rigueur for
sides to introduce their proposals far
away from each other then meet in the
middle. But it is a bitter pill to swallow for teachers who have not seen a
raise in eight years.
But the decit is real and the district
has been spending the $30.5 million
from the sale of the Carl Sandburg
Elementary School site since 2005.
That money is no longer available
and district ofcials must nd a solution to their money woes.
It certainly doesnt help that the
district is led by a superintendent
whose contract was not renewed in
September and will not be there for
the next school year. Moving forward
is difcult with a short-term leader.
While some may contend that having school board meetings packed

with upset teachers and parents is a

sign of disarray, it is actually a sign
that there is a signicant contingent
of concerned people who care about
the future of the district and its
schools. It is, however, unfortunate
that there are continuing crises that
draw this level of community interest.
While it seems this particular crisis
may be heading toward resolution,
albeit a dissatisfying one for many,
there is an opportunity here to tap
into the energy of those who are turning out to make their concerns
known. Rather than falling back into
a typical pattern of quiet after the
storm, now is the time to hold community stakeholder meetings to gather ideas and information about what is
important to the San Bruno Park
Elementary School District community. Some may say counselors are critical, some may say other programs
are. Some may say foundation contributions may help, others may do the
legwork for a parcel tax to pay for
certain programs, positions or otherwise.
The fact of the matter is that the district is in a difcult situation, and
skating from crisis to crisis is never a
good long-term plan. Bringing in
community stakeholders, eliciting
ideas and acting on them appropriately with a community mindset is a better plan, and one that will bring the
most success moving forward.

We dont need rent control
Editor,
The letters like Hazards of rent
control by Mr. Christopher P.
Conway in the Feb. 20 edition of the
Daily Journal are sorely needed at a
time of orchestrated effort to promote
so called affordable housing.The
cost of housing is mostly a compilation of costs of land, labor, materials, taxes, permit fees, compounded
real estate fees and owners prot. To
concentrate solely on the last item is
not
productive.
In the 70s, only Jarvis/Gunns
Proposition 13 saved our family, and
countless others, from surrendering to
the ever-increasing property taxes,
that would have eventually forced us
to move out of this area. From one
year to the next our tax nearly doubled.
Yet, the same people who today act
as peoples advocates have tried all
these years to do away with Prop. 13.

Every new business development
that increases job growth threatens
renters, and San Mateo and Santa
Clara counties are all about business
development. Thousands more jobs
are expected to be added to these two

years. Luxury and high-cost apartments are being built, but they will
not house the number of workers
needed nor those who are not highly
paid, and so people are being forced
from their homes.
Rent stabilization is an absolute
necessity in both counties we cannot build enough affordable housing
to alleviate the displacement. Renters
must unify and demand protections,

Self-love!
A

ll I ask of life is a constant and exaggerated

sense of my own importance. Ashleigh

Brilliant.
All of the fuss about Brian Williams lies (or as some
prefer to describe it, stretching the truth) t right in
with the book I was reading at the time, The Narcissist
Next Door Understanding the Monster in Your Family,
in Your Ofce, in Your Bed, and in Your World, by Jeffrey
Kluger. Seems Williams may be one of those people who
become so impressed with themselves that they make up
or embellish stories just to add to the excitement and their
image.
But should Brian Williams
behavior really be a surprise?
As we all know, a great many
of those who are in the limelight if they werent fulledged narcissists before
soon develop a crush on
themselves as their careers
progress. As James
Poniewozik wrote in Time
magazine (Feb. 28-March 2),
about news anchors: The
anchor job has always been
built on a myth larger than
any war story, that news
hosts were journalistic superbeings, dashing, daring and
deserving of unswerving trust.
The thing about narcissism is that those who demonstrate it the most would never understand that it is a problem because they believe that they are beyond reproach.
Kluger lists characteristics of narcissists, which, of
course, come in many degrees of afiction from women
obsessed with their appearance to many of our presidents.
On the list: They will use others for their own purposes.
They must have what they want when they want it. They
look for and revel in attention all of the time, and some
will even lie and cheat to maintain their elevated status.
No journalist is ever too big to suffer the consequences
of violating the most cardinal rule of the profession: Thou
shalt not fabricate. San Francisco Chronicle editorial
(Feb. 12).
One reason that there is so much difculty in getting
anything done in government is because too many of
those in power are narcissistic to one degree or another.
Thats why we shouldnt take them too seriously and why
its important to be aware of such types. Many are out for
their own self-aggrandizement obsessed with themselves, looking to get attention for their exploits and/or
to be adored by voters.
Narcissists vary from the curmudgeon types like Richard
Nixon and Dick Cheney to Bill Clinton who, because of
his outgoing personality, many couldnt help but like in
spite of the reports of his sexual shenanigans. Consider
W. who had no concept of his lack of qualications to lead
our nation and apparently so involved with himself that
he was completely oblivious to his shortcomings. And
then theres Sarah Palin!
One of the greatest drawbacks of narcissism is the lack
of empathy. Piero Ferricci wrote about empathy in The
Power of Kindness: If this capacity does not develop
sufciently or if it is thwarted, we are in deep trouble. If
we are insensitive to the emotions of others, each relationship becomes an impossible charade and if we see
others not as living subjects but as things, on par with a
refrigerator or a street lamp, we allow ourselves to manipulate and even violate them. Consider Walmart executives who, it is reported, decided to increase their workers
pay (which, even with a raise, is still paltry) to improve
Walmarts image and increase prots not to help out
the employees.
Yes, its good to be self-assured, good to feel that we are
able to fend condently with the exigencies of our lives,
but when it becomes an obsession with ourselves and the
impression we are making to the detriment of our contribution to the welfare of others, we have crossed the line.
The trouble is, there are too many devotees who (like the
worshippers of media stars) get taken in by the surface
personality of people instead of evaluating their character, intelligence and experience.
Brian Williams and his ilk are not likely to see themselves as narcissistic more like supreme beings. But
since they have so much inuence in so many ways, we
need to see them for what they really are whether the

The patent and royalty assets manager focused on cancer treatments

The Dow Jones industrial average and

Standard & Poors 500 index delivered
new highs Tuesday, beating marks they
set last week.
The Nasdaq composite also built on
its gains for the year, finishing higher
for the 10th day in a row.
The latest milestones came as
investors liked what they heard from
Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen, who
told Congress the central bank would be
patient about raising interest rates as
the economy improves.
Markets had been very focused on
the Yellen testimony and wanted to see
if there was going to be any change in
the outlook for the first Fed rate hike,
said David Lefkowitz, senior equity
strategist for UBS Wealth Management
Research. The short answer to that is,
not really. The Fed is, at a minimum,
not going to do anything imminently.
Progress in Greeces efforts to secure
an extension of its rescue program and
strong earnings from Home Depot also
encouraged traders. The home-improvement retailer was the best performer in
the 30-company Dow, rising 4.4 percent.
The Dow ended up 92.35 points, or
0.5 percent, to 18,209.19. Thats up
0.4 percent from its most-recent high
of 18,140.44 last Friday.
The S&P 500 gained 5.82 points, or
0.3 percent, to 2,115.48. The index

also reached its previous high of

2,110.30 on Friday.
The Nasdaq gained 7.15 points, or
0.1 percent, to 4,968.12. The index,
which has yet to eclipse its record high
from the dot-com era, is now within 81
points of that March 2000 peak.
The three main U.S. stock indexes are
all up for the year. The S&P 500 has
closed at a new high four times this
month. The Dow has done it twice.
The current bull market, now in its
sixth year, has been powered by strong
corporate earnings growth and low
interest rates, which make stocks more
attractive relative to bonds.
Yellens remarks to Congress on
Tuesday suggest that the interest rate
part of that dynamic isnt likely to
change right away.
In the first part of her two-day testimony, Yellen noted that the U.S. economy is making steady progress, but
that for now the Fed will remain patient
about raising interest rates because the
job market is still healing and inflation
is too low. The Fed has kept its benchmark rate near zero since 2008. Yellens
testimony supports the view that a rate
increase is not likely before June or
even later this year.
Its a little bit uncertain on when
exactly theyll raise rates, but its not
going to happen sooner than expected, Lefkowitz said.
The major stock indexes spent much
of the morning drifting between small
gains and losses as traders awaited

Yellen navigates tricky

path on interest rates
By Martin Crutsinger
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Federal Reserve

Chair Janet Yellen navigated the tricky
job of managing expectations on
Tuesday in her first public comments
on interest rate policy in more than
two months.
She wanted the world to know the
Fed isnt ready yet to raise rates from
record lows. The job market is still
healing, and inflation is too low, she
said. At the same time, Yellen signaled
that the Fed is moving closer to a rate
hike by sketching the steps the central
bank would take when it deemed the
time was right.
In delivering the Feds semiannual
economic report before the Senate
Banking Committee, Yellen tried to
balance the publics thirst for information on the Feds future plans, while
giving the central bank as much flexibility as possible to tweak monetary
policy on its own terms.
The Fed has two mandates: maximum
employment and price stability. The

dilemma
Yellen
faces now is that
the two measures
are heading in
opposite
directions.
Yellen told lawmakers that the
U. S. economy is
steady
Janet Yellen making
progress
toward
what the Fed defines as maximum
employment an unemployment
rate between 5.2 percent and 5.5 percent. The jobless rate in January stood
at 5.7 percent, down from a high of 10
percent in late 2009. Yellen, however,
noted that the labor market had not
totally healed, in large part because
wage growth has been weak.
Considerable progress has been
achieved in the recovery of the labor
market, though room for improvement
remains, Yellen said.
Inflation is a thornier issue. The
Feds goal is for inflation to hit 2 percent annually. But for more than two
years, inflation has been rising well

below that level. It has retreated further from the Feds target in recent
months due to the stronger dollar and
lower oil prices.
After Yellens remarks, private economists weighed in with their forecasts.
Many said a rate hike looks likely in
June. Others said September.
The Fed is trying to manage a difficult situation in dealing with the
uncertainty surrounding the economic
outlook, said Paul Edelstein, director
of financial services at Global Insight.
Yellen sees a path to rate hikes but
knows the value of maintaining discretion.
Meanwhile, investors liked what
they heard from Yellen, who reiterated
that the Fed would remain patient
about raising interest rates as it waits
for the economy to improve further.
The Dow Jones industrial average and
the S&P 500 closed at record highs,
beating the marks they set Friday.
Yellen sought to explain how the
Fed would begin raising rates and what
it would do to prepare financial markets.

California agency votes to reduce gas tax by 6 cents

By Fenit Nirappil
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Californias tax

board on Tuesday approved a 6-cent
cut in the state gas tax because of
lower gas prices, but it isnt likely to
affect drivers wallets.
The five-member State Board of
Equalization voted unanimously to
cut the state gasoline tax from 36
cents to 30 cents a gallon. The
decrease takes effect in July, though
Californians may not see a difference
at the pump because of other factors
affecting gas prices.
The annual adjustment is the result
of a complicated deal to close the

2010 budget deficit. The agency sets

the tax rate to bring in the same
amount of money the old sales tax
would have brought in. Because the
tax board predicts lower gas prices, it
is pre-emptively reducing the gas tax
to avoid over collecting.
The boards elected members, who
met in Culver City, criticized lawmakers for creating a confusing system and signaled support for an overhaul.
Clarity of tax is essential for taxpayers, said George Runner, a
Republican member of the board who
called the system just irrational.
Drivers pay an additional 18. 4
cents a gallon to the federal government and a 2.25 percent sales tax that

benefits local governments.

The Board of Equalizations staff
initially recommended a 7.5 cent tax
cut, but the members chose a lower
number because of a recent uptick in
gas prices.
The tax cut will slash funding for
local road and congestion relief projects in California by $868 million,
according
to
the
California
Department of Transportation.
We need stability and predictability in our transportation dollars, and
my colleagues and I are deeply concerned about having to make these
kind of Magic 8 Ball predictions on
something so unpredictable as the
price of gasoline, said Fiona Ma, a
Democratic member of the board.

Yellens remarks and kept tabs on

developments in Greece.
Athens and its bailout creditors
reached a tentative agreement last week
to continue a rescue loan program by
four months to avoid the risk of a Greek
default and exit from the euro currency.
On Tuesday, the countrys European
creditors approved a 4-month extension to the nations financial bailout.
It was not unexpected, but welcome
news, said Brad Sorensen, director of
market and sector analysis at the
Schwab Center for Financial Research.
We dont have to worry about that for
at least a few weeks, anyway.
The news helped lift stocks indexes
in Europe, including Britains FTSE
100, which edged up 0.5 percent to
6,949, a record high. Frances CAC-40
rose 0.5 percent to 4,886 while
Germanys DAX gained 0.7 percent to
11,205. The Athens Stock Exchange
General Index jumped 9.8 percent.
Investors also got a batch of new
U.S. economic data Tuesday.
A key gauge of U.S. home prices
showed that prices rose 4.5 percent in
December versus a year earlier. The
small gain comes after price increases
slowed for 12 straight months.
Meanwhile, the Conference Board
reported that its consumer confidence
index dropped this month to 96.4 from
a revised 103.8 in January. The
February and January readings are the
highest since before the recession started in December 2007.

Business briefs
In Apples latest update, emojis get diverse
NEW YORK Lovers of emojis, the cute graphics that
punctuate online writing and texts, will soon be able to pick
from different skin tones on Apple devices.
Apple Inc. has incorporated more diverse emojis into the
developer version of the latest update to its mobile operating system. The iPhone and iPad maker has not said when
the update will be available for all users.
Currently almost all the emojis depicting people or body
parts, such as a fist or bicep, look white. More cartoon-like
faces that are smiling, crying, winking or suggestive of
other emotions come in a shade of yellow reminiscent of
The Simpsons characters.
An Apple spokeswoman said Tuesday that the company is
working with the Unicode Consortium, the nonprofit
organization that sets the standards for the pictograms, to
update the standard so that it better represents diversity for
all of us.
Unicode last fall proposed adding five new skin color
options for emojis. A Unicode technical report says users
worldwide want emojis that better reflect global diversity.

Forecast weighs on HP
shares as PC makers 1Q profit drops
PALO ALTO Shares in Hewlett-Packard Co. slid in late
trading Tuesday after the company reported quarterly revenue and an earnings outlook that were below Wall Street
estimates.
The giant computer maker reported fiscal first-quarter
profit of $1.37 billion, down 4 percent from a year earlier.
Earnings amounted to 73 cents per share, or 92 cents per
share after adjusting for one-time items. That surpassed the
estimate of analysts surveyed by FactSet, of 91 cents per
share.
Sales fell 5 percent to $26.84 billion in the NovemberJanuary period, below analysts expected $27.38 billion.
The Palo Alto companys shares dropped $2.44, or 6.3
percent, to $36.05 in extended trading. The stock closed up
30 cents to $38.59 in regular trading, a climb of 29 percent
in the last 12 months.

JPMorgan to close 5
percent of bank branches to cut costs
NEW YORK JPMorgan Chase plans to close 300 bank
branches over the next two years, about 5 percent of the
total, as more customers move online and the bank seeks to
cut costs.
The closures are part of a $1.4 billion cost-cutting plan
the bank announced for this year. The latest developments
were revealed during the banks annual investor day conference Tuesday.
Online and mobile banking have become increasingly
popular and that trend is expected to continue. The shift
online has begun to make brick-and-mortar branches staffed
full of tellers less necessary and, frankly, expensive.

SHP ready for next level of competition

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

There is a chant used by high school student

sections that you will occasionally hear at basketball games.
If their team is beating a league opponent and
also won the football matchup between the
schools in the fall, the students will chant,
Just like football! Just like football!
Now, the Sacred Heart Prep boys basketball
team can chant it out to the rest of the Central
Coast Section: just like football.
Were trying to keep pace (with the football

team), SHP basketball coach Tony Martinelli

joked.
Back in November, the SHP football team
became the first team from the school to be
selected to play in CCSs Open Division,
which the Gators went on to win. The basketball team is following a similar path, earning
the schools first Open Division basketball
berth, going 14-0 in West Bay Athletic League
play and 22-2 overall to garner the No. 4 seed.
The Gators are currently riding a 15-game
winning streak as well.
Since the Open Division came about, its
been, in my mind, something to get our team

into at some point, Martinelli said. Weve

won Division IV and Division V championships. Whats next for us? Youre going to
get great competition, youre going to get the
kind of games to prepare you for Nor Cal (tournament). Its what every program should be
looking for.
It was kind of the next step for our program.
Were here it to win it. Its not just, were
happy to be here.
Since winning a pair of Division V titles in
2006 and 2008, the Gators have won four of the
last five Division IV, earning them the right to
be promoted to the Open Division.

Of all the strong, successful teams Martinelli

has fielded, the 2014-15 version might be the
best equipped to make a run at a championship
against the toughest teams CCS has to offer.
The Gators have four to five starters who can
score in double digits every single game which
leads to a team scoring an average of 71 points
per game. As a team, they grab 35 rebounds and
dish out an average of 15 assists.
The Gators like to pressure teams, get out of
the break, move the ball around and get everybody involved.

Chris Ortiz wasnt at Cabrillo during the

baseball programs back-to-back Coast
Pacific Conference championships of 2013

detoured from wanting to uphold the tradition.
This is one of the best teams Ive ever
played for, Ortiz said. Im hoping for a
third conference title and with the talent
we have, theres no reason to think we cant
go all the way.
Cabrillo (1-0 in Coast Conference, 7-5
overall) got off to a good start in Tuesdays
Coast Conference opener with a 3-2 win at
Caada (0-1, 8-3). The Seahawks went up 2-0

in the fifth only to see the Colts tie it in the

bottom of the frame. But Cabrillo took the
lead for good in the sixth and held a Caada
lineup in check that entered into play hitting
.323 as a team.
Its important for us to defend our conference title, Cabrillo manager Bob Kittle
said. We enjoy playing Caada and the
games are always tight.

Ex-Padre great takes the mound at Stanford

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

For the second straight game, Stanford

matched up against a starting pitcher from
the Peninsula. And for the second straight
game, Stanford prevailed.
After seeing St. Francis-Mountain View
graduate John Gavin take a no-decision for
Fullerton in an 11-9 win Sunday, the
Cardinal returned home Tuesday to face
University of Nevada-Reno and former Serra
left-hander Barry Timko.
Timko departed after four innings with a
5-2 lead. He allowed two runs on five hits
while walking one. He was in line for the
win, but took a no-decision after the
Cardinal rallied against the Wolf Pack
bullpen to tie it in the sixth before walking
off in the ninth with a 6-5 victory.
The loss was the first of the season for the
Wolf Pack, who set a program record by
winning their first seven games of the season. Batting .283 as a team, Nevada has
been a force in the slugging department and
currently leads the nation with 13 home
runs.
I kind of noticed our offense was legit
because inner squads were tough, Timko
said. Then before the season it was the
same thing, like damn, this lineup can
hit.
After last years junior season in which
Timko served as a weekend starter, the
southpaw suffered an injury to his Achilles
heal two weeks prior to the start of this season. During an inner squad game, Timko
was covering first base on an infield
grounder and got stepped on by the base
runner, freshman Cal Stevenson.
The injury put Timko on the shelf for a
week. It has affected his game stamina,
according to Nevada pitching coach Dave
Lawn.
In Timkos season debut last Tuesday
against Texas Tech, he went just 2 2/3
innings. Tuesday against Stanford, he threw
just 61 pitches and was admittedly fatigued
by his fourth and final inning when he surrendered two runs.
What [the injury] did was really set him
back, so he couldnt really do the normal
stuff, Lawn said. As a result hes a little
bit behind. And [Tuesday] once he got

Former Serra southpaw Barry Timko took a no-decision through four innings for Univsersity
of Nevada-Reno Tuesday night at Sunken Diamond.
into the 50s, the 60s he hadnt really
thrown that many pitches in a while he
really started running out of gas.
Timko had flashes of gusto on the Sunken
Diamond mound though. He had plenty of
fans among the 1,168 in attendance, including his parents, sister, uncle, grandfather
and two of his fathers friends.
The lefty produced two strikeouts, each to
end innings with runners on base. And more
importantly, according to Lawn, Timko was
missing the sweet spot of the Stanford hitters bats.
The changeup was working really well,
Timko said. The curveball I like pitch-

ing down here because up in Reno the air is

so thin, the ball doesnt move as much. So,
it was cool to pitch down here.
Timko did run into trouble in the fourth.
The inning opened with a walk to Stanfords
Jonny Locher. Beau Branton then hit a
fielders choice to switch places with him at
first base. The red-hot Matt Winaker
coming off a 2-for-2, four-RBI performance
against Fullerton Sunday smoked a triple
up the right-center gap to score Branton.
Then Quinn Brody grounded out to shortstop to plate Winaker, tying it 2-2.
Nevada rallied for three runs in the top of
the fifth inning before the Wolf Pack

bullpen started the bottom half of the frame.

Timko said he isnt concerned with decisions though, a bold statement considering
he was the Walk Packs winningest pitcher
last season with a 6-3 record.
I want to win. Im not really worried
about what I do as much as what we do,
Timko said. This is my fourth year and Ive
had a couple down years as far as the team.
We were 7-0 before this. So, it just feels
good to be winning. Its definitely cool,
especially around school and stuff. People
are starting to take notice. Its a cool feeling.
Indeed. Nevada earned a No. 30 national
ranking prior to this week. And the team is
doing it with a Big-Red-Machine approach
of banging the ball around the yard and relying on solid but unspectacular pitching to
get the offense back into the dugout to do
what it does best.
Timkos selfless mindset doesnt mean he
isnt bucking for a return to the weekend
rotation though.
I hope so, but if I dont its all good,
Timko said. But obviously I would love to
pitch on the weekends.
The promotion could happen as soon as
this weekend, according to Lawn. Junior
right-hander Michael Fain, who has served
as Nevadas Friday starter the past two
weeks, pitched 2/3 of an inning Tuesday at
Sunken Diamond. That stands to shake up
the starting rotation as Nevada hosts
University of the Pacific in a three-game
series starting Friday.
This certainly makes Barry available for
the backend of the weekend series for U of
P, Lawn said.
Stanford ultimately stole the show
Tuesday to even up its record at 4-4. It was
Winaker who played hero again, drilling a
game-winning double against Nevada
reliever Cameron Rowland in the bottom of
the ninth to score Jonny Locher.
Even though the loss was the first misstep of the Wolf Packs fast start this season, Lawn said the team and his senior
southpaw Timko are moving in the right
direction.
What we need him to do was be what he
was last year, Lawn said. I think [Tuesday]
was a big step towards that, for sure,
because he threw really well, I thought.

High expectations for Giants new-look, healthy outfield

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Nori Aoki has

reconsidered his original plan to wrestle big
ace Madison Bumgarner.
Maybe after practice, he cracked, chuckling while sitting at his locker before the San
Francisco Giants hit the field for their first
full-squad workout.
A few hours later after seeing Bumgarner in
person, he had changed his tune completely.
No way, not happening.
Shortstop Brandon Crawford could have
told his new teammate that much. Crawford
had already planned to advise him against
taking on the 6-foot-5, 235-pound reigning
World Series MVP.
That would probably be my advice, dont
do it, Crawford said. If he is going to do it,
Id go for the hair if I was him. Thats his
weak spot, thats his Achilles heel.
Center fielder Angel Pagan put his money
on his outfield mate, even if at 5-9 and 180
pounds, Aoki has a serious size disadvantage.
Thats my way to win against Bumgarner,
Aoki said.

said. Thats a really good addition (Aoki).
The 33-year-old Aoki signed a $4.7 million, one-year contract in January after losing to the Giants in the World Series last fall
with Kansas City. He could become the leadoff hitter depending on how Pagan comes
along this spring.
Aoki batted .285 with a home run, six
triples, 22 doubles and 43 RBIs over 132
games in his lone season with the Royals
after two in Milwaukee. He also stole 17
bases.
Manager Bruce Bochy told Aoki hes
expecting 30 home runs this season, to
going to turn her loose.
Some of the scoring slack has been
picked up by sophomore wing Alex Augulis.
She scored only four goals on the season,
but two have come in the last four games and
she leads the team in assists with 13.
Shes been really big time for us. Shes
become such a key for us, Navarrete said
about Augulis. If we can get her going, we
can take a lot of pressure off Jillienne.
More surprisingly to Navarrete, was a
defense that evolved into one of the best
units in the section as well. The combina-

outfielder promised to hit
24.
Pagan is ready to put up
his own big numbers as he
looks to stay in the lineup
now that his back is painfree. Last year, he tried to
play through despite the
challenges of even getting out of bed in the

morning.
If you see a picture of my body, it looked
like a Z when I got up, he said. My mornings were miserable.
Pagan played in only 96 games last season
and 71 in 2013 because of injuries. He looks
back and is happy he chose to have surgery,
for his career as well as his quality of life
beyond baseball.
I had to think of the future, he said. Im
so glad I got it done and out of the way.
He recently told Bochy hes planning for
160 in 2015, the third season of his $40 million, four-year contract.
He really feels great, hes very upbeat,
Bochy said. When you feel as good as he
does, youre pumped about getting it going
and starting a new season. Its a new slate for
everybody, including him. You can see the
tion of senior Madison Holland, junior
Breanna Hart, sophomore Daisy Jimenez
and freshman Raquel Krampert, in front of
goalkeepers Sabrina Proctor and Sarah
Preston.
They combined to allow only nine goals
all season and only four in PAL Bay
Division play. Only twice did the Wildcats
give up two or more goals.
Even though we had only player who
played a game at the varsity level (Holland),
as the season went on, we noticed our
defense is not bad at all, Navarrete said.

smile on his face.

Bochy plans to experiment with some different batting orders early in Cactus League
play beginning next week before settling
into a more regular lineup in mid-March.
As usual, Pence joined Bochy in addressing
the team before Tuesdays workout at
Scottsdale Stadium.
The every-other-year Giants theyve
won championships in 2010, 12 and last
year want to capitalize on the momentum
from last season to keep on a roll given the
fleeting opportunities in professional
sports.
This is a big day, Bochy said. We had a
great year last year. ... Well still enjoy and
savor those memories but at the same time
its time for us to get ready. Your clock on success is as good as your last game. In this
game, your times limited. Its been great to
have this type of success that weve had. That
window, its not always going to be there.
Youve got to seize that moment.
Aoki appreciated Pences pep talk, which
he described as full of passion.
Were playing for a championship, he
said through interpreter Kosuke Inaji, who
has worked with Aoki throughout his major
league career. I had a lot of fun.
Up first, however, is No. 12 Pioneer (133-4) at 6 p.m. Wednesday in Redwood City.
Navarrete admits he doesnt know much
about the Mustangs, other than they have
freshman Naomi Girma, who has scored 18
goals this season.
If they can get past the Mustangs, matches against St. Francis (semifinals) and
Mitty (finals) loom.
Navarrete is not thinking ahead, however.
If you start looking forward, youre not
going to get a chance to play those kind of
teams, Navarrete said.

SHP
Continued from page 11
We play a style that lends ourselves to score
a lot of points. Were getting out in transition a
little bit. It promotes a more team-oriented
style of play, Martinelli said. It gets more
guys involved and for me its a better way to
coach and its a better brand of basketball.
SHP currently has four players scoring double
figures: Corbin Koch (17.8 ppg), Mason
Randall (14.3), Connor Moses (13.0) and
James McLean (10-4). But to say any one of
those players leads the team would be a misnomer. Early in the year, Koch was lighting up
teams, dropping 27 on Irvington-Fremont and
30 on Burlingame in back-to-back non-league
games in December and had a season-high 34 in
a win over Justin-Siena. He had games of 15
points or more in eight of 10 non-league
games.
In West Bay Athletic League play, however,
he scored 15 or fewer five times.
Fortunately for the Gators, the rest of team
has stepped up. Moses had a five-game stretch
toward the end of the WBAL season of scoring
19 or more and Randall had a three-game stretch
of 21, 24 and 20 points.
Thats a big part of any teams success, to
have other guys to put the ball in the basket,
Martinelli said. That took a lot of pressure off
Corbin. Thats big. He doesnt have to
score everything. That kind of opened up other
guys.
A lot of that confidence has grown during

practice. The Gators just finished an undefeated

run through WBAL play during which they won
13 of 14 games by double digits. They havent
been truly involved in a tight game since Jan.
3, when they lost their last game of the season
77-65 to Serra.
Despite the lack of tight games, Martinelli
believes his team has kept itself sharp just by
the way they attack practice and the mental
approach they take into every game.
I think we just handle what we can control
and thats our performance, Martinelli said.
We just turn it up (intensity) in practice as
high as we can. Its a long time to go back to
those (non-league) games, but we do focus on
those games we did struggle in at times and
what we did to get out of it.
Whatever game were playing, we try to
make it as competitive a game as we can on our
own. For us, its really just about making the
game the biggest game we have that year. If you
do it each game, the kids understand whats on
the line.
The next big game for the Gators is Friday,
when they face No. 5 Riordan (15-9) in the first
round 7 p.m. at Wilcox High School. After that
is a possible semifinal matchup or a spot in the
consolation round to keep teams sharp for the
Northern California tournament, to which all
Open Division teams go.
Just dont expect the Gators to get too excited should they win or lose Friday.
Whats been impressive with these guys,
they dont get too high. They dont get too
low, Martinelli said. They practice well. They
dont talk about winning or losing. They just
talk about playing basketball.

SACRAMENTO Anti-smoking advocates are hoping to strike out chewing

tobacco at California baseball games.
The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids
announced Tuesday that it will sponsor legislation to ban all tobacco products at baseball venues, including Major League
Baseball and organized league games.
MLB says it supports banning smokeless
tobacco and the spirit of the proposal.
Using chewing tobacco, known as dipping,
is already prohibited in minor leagues.
The issue was highlighted by the death
last June of former San Diego Padres all-star
Tony Gwynn, who believed his oral cancer
was linked to longtime chewing tobacco
use.
The groups push is one of several proposals in the California Legislature this year to
limit the use of tobacco products, including
using e-cigarettes in public and increasing
the legal age to buy cigarettes to 21. Public
health advocates fear the rise of alternatives
to traditional cigarettes undermines the success of anti-smoking campaigns.
Tobacco groups in recent years have successfully opposed less sweeping legislation
in California. A bill to ban e-cigarette vending machine sales could not pass the
Legislature last year.
Assemblyman Tony Thurmond, DRichmond, will carry the proposed baseball
tobacco ban, which would apply to players
and fans for games across all levels.
Major League Baseball negotiates chewing tobacco rules with the players union,
which previously agreed to ban carrying
tobacco tins during games and dipping during interviews. Union spokesman Greg
Bouris says tobacco use is discouraged, but
the union has no comment on the proposed
legislation.

for the Seahawks and has experienced

some growing pains. The big righthander has been roughed up in his
last three outings and currently has a
0-1 record with an inflated 15.75
ERA through four innings pitched.
We expect big things from him,
Kittle said. Hes going to be one of
our guys.
Gelphman is 4 for 15 (.267) on
the year, but has carved out a niche
for himself as a pinch hitter, according to Kittle. Two of Gelphmans
four hits have been pinch hits.
And while Ortiz isnt calling his
own pitches anymore, he said hes
in good hands with Cabrillo pitching coach Mike Ditano.
He calls a great game, Ortiz
said. I rarely, if ever, have a question about the pitches he calls.
Hitting in the No. 8 spot Tuesday,
Ortiz had a key sacrifice bunt in the
third inning to help Cabrillo get on
the board with a 1-0 lead. But the
damage could have been worse had

play. Cabrillos Jake Raynaud got
the rally started with a leadoff single.
Ortiz followed by deadening a perfect
bunt to move Raynaud to second.
Then with two outs and runners at
the corners the Seahawks cashed in
when sophomore Angel Sanchez
drove a double over Jacob
Martinezs head in left field.
Raynaud scored easily on the play,
but with Folena attempting to score
from first base, Martinez hit cutoff
man Champy Lucca and the second
baseman wheeled and fired to gun
down Folena at the plate for the
final out of the inning.
Caada got even in the bottom
of the inning with a little help
from the Cabrillo defense. With
two out and Colts runners on first
and second, Randy Ventura drove
and opposite-field fly to left that
went for a two-base error. Champy
Lucca and Martinez scored on the
play to tie it 2-2.
But Cabrillo jumped back on top
in the sixth. Matthew Valdez led off
with a double high off the wall in
left. Cleanup hitter Lucas Hewitt followed with a single to center moving
Valdez to third. Then Scott Akrop hit
a slow bounder to short that Saunders
booted, though Valdez would have
scored on the play regardless.

TERRY BERNAL/DAILY JOURNAL

Caada freshman Jacob Martinez

had three hits Tuesday.
The run gave the Seahawks a 3-2
lead, but after they loaded the bases,
Colts starting pitcher Rory McDaid
averted disaster by inducing a 4-6-3
double play off the bat of Ortiz to
get out of the inning.
Caada manager Tony Lucca visited the mound before Ortizs at-bat.
The coachs message was a pointed
one, according to Colts catcher
Jason Marley.
I dont think Ill use the words
that he said but basically to just get
our stuff together, Marley said.
We just beared down and Rory
again saved us and got a quick double play and got us out of the
inning. It was huge.
McDaid soldiered through the middle innings to finish strong. The double play started a streak of nine
straight batters retired by the freshman right-hander. McDaid ultimately
went the distance in taking the hardluck loss, allowing 10 hits while
walking one and striking out two.
He threw good, Tony Lucca
said. He scattered those hits and I
think our defense gave up a couple
runs. Our offense just didnt back
him up enough.
Martinez notched his seventh
multi-hit game of the season
though. The freshman out of Terra
Nova went 3 for 4. He now paces the
Colts with a .449 batting average.
The kids a stud, Tony Lucca
said. Everything he swings at he
just hits the ball on the barrel. He
plays good defense, hes a great kid,
he comes out here and plays defense
every day. Hes fun to watch, hes
fun to coach and hes going to play
this game for a while.

Khabur River in northeastern
Syria. They abducted at least 70
Christians many of them
women and children while thousands of others fled to safer areas.
The captives fate was unclear
Tuesday, a day after they were

phone service was cut off and land
lines also were not going

uncertainty about their loved
ones. Heavy fighting was reported in the area.
The Islamic State group has a
history of killing captives, including foreign journalists, Syrian soldiers and Kurdish militiamen. Most
recently, militants in Libya affiliated with the extremist group
released a video showing the
beheading of 21 Egyptian
Christians.
The groups bloody campaign in

Syria and Iraq, where it seeks to

form a self-styled caliphate, has
repeatedly targeted religious
minorities since it took control of
a third of both countries. The
United States and coalition of
regional partners are conducting a
campaign of airstrikes against the
group.
The militants struck near the
town of Tal Tamr in Hassakeh
province, an area predominated by
Assyrian Christians. Most of the
captives came from Tal Shamiram
and some from Tal Hurmiz.
Nuri Kino, the head of a group
called A Demand For Action, said
between 70 and 100 Assyrians were
taken captive. About 3,000 people
fled and have sought refuge in the
cities of Hassakeh and Qamishli,
he said, adding that his activist
group based its information on
conversations with villagers who
fled the attack and their relatives.
His group focuses on religious
minorities in the Middle East.
Have they been slaughtered? Are
they still alive? Were searching
for any news, said an Assyrian
Christian woman from Tal
Shamiram who now lives in Beirut.

The Islamic State, which had declared a caliphate in parts of Iraq and Syria, prompted tens of thousands of Yazidis
and Christians to flee for their lives.
The woman said she has been trying to find out what has become of
her parents, her brother and his
wife and their children, but couldnt
reach anyone in the village.
I feel so helpless, I cannot do
anything for them but pray, she
said, speaking on condition of
anonymity for fear of endangering
relatives believed to be held by the
militants.

The
Britain-based
Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights,
which also reported the abductions, put the number of Christians
held by the Islamic State group at
90. The Observatory relies on a
network of activists inside Syria.
Both groups said that most of the
captives come from Tal Shamiram,
located some 85 kilometers (50
miles) southwest of the provincial

capital of Qamishli, and nearby Tal

Hurmiz. At least four civilians,
including a 17-year-old, were killed
in clashes later Monday, a relative
of one of the victims said on condition of anonymity.
The extremists could use the
Assyrian captives to try to arrange
a prisoner swap with the Kurdish
militias it is battling in northeastern Syria.

Nine dead including gunman in Czech restaurant shooting

People light a candle near a restaurant where a gunman opened fire in

Uhersky Brod, Czech Republic.

PRAGUE A gunman opened

fire inside a small-town restaurant
in eastern Czech Republic
Tuesday, killing eight people and
seriously wounding a waitress
before he fatally shot himself,
officials said. It was the worst
shooting attack in the young
countrys history.
The gunman was a local man
aged around 60, said Patrik Kuncar,
mayor of the southeastern town of
Uhersky Brod.
Czech public radio said the perpetrator called a local television
station before the attack, com-

plaining that police werent solving his problems and threatening

that he would take things into his
hands.
Interior
Minister
Milan
Chovanec, who arrived at the
scene, said the man had a gun
license. It was not a terrorist
attack he said.
The gunman was armed with two
pistols and opened fire at the
approaching police officers,
Chovanec said.
The Czech Republic became an
independent nation in 1993 after
the split of Czechoslovakia.
The attack shocked the town of
17,000 that lies 300 kilometers
(185 miles) southeast of Prague,

the capital, and is home to the

Ceska Zbrojovka gun plant.
Nobody believed anything like
that could happen in such a small
town, Kuncar said. I can hardly
imagine what consequences it will
have for the future life in this
town.
The victims have been identified
and were all from the region,
Chovanec said.
The countrys chief police officer, Tomas Tuhy, said authorities
wouldnt reveal more information
immediately because of the ongoing investigation.
Petr Gabriel was in the restaurants bathroom when the shooting began.

Getting to know Belgian endive with the help of cheese

By Melissa DArabian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Fresh-faced, yet utterly jet-lagged. Thats

how I arrived in France for the first time.
And thats how I was introduced to Belgian
endive.
Madame Gabillet was hosting me for my
college semester abroad and she welcomed
me pretty much right off the plane into her
chilly, dark home. Dinner was waiting, so
we sat right down and rather silently (since
I didnt yet speak a word of French) began
the meal. Thats when I saw a vegetable I
didnt recognize.
Was it cabbage? No. But whatever it was,
it was bathed in a luscious cream sauce with
Gruyere bubbling on top. It was a fitting
welcome to what would be a cold and rainy
few months. I understood precious little of
what my host family said to me that night,
but I did catch the name of the tender,
slightly bitter, delight that we ate
Belgian endive.
Madame Gabillet loved Belgian endive
(and luckily, as I discovered, so did I). She
served it chopped and sauteed in sweet butter, or sliced and tossed raw in a mustardy
vinaigrette, or my favorite baked in a
white cream sauce with onions and cheese.
Back in the United States, I saw Belgian
endive slowly make its way into supermarkets. These days you can find it pretty much
all year. They look like a cross between an
elongated oversized Brussels sprout and a
very small head of compacted romaine lettuce, but more yellow. Both Belgian and
regular endive are part of the chicory family
and sport a slightly bitter flavor.
Each Belgian endive has only 15 calories, but packs tons of fiber, vitamin C and
calcium. And for something that sounds so
exotically European, its downright inexpensive.
So grab a few and try them in some of your
favorite recipes that star other greens raw
in place of escarole, sauteed instead of cabbage or kale, simply grilled or roasted with
olive oil, salt and pepper and squeeze of
lemon. Or try my version of the dish that
started it all Madame Gabillets Belgian
endive gratin.

BELGIAN ENDIVE GRATIN

Start to finish: 45 minutes (15 minutes
active)
Servings: 4
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 small yellow onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups reduced-fat milk

Each Belgian endive has only 15 calories, but packs tons of fiber, vitamin C and calcium. And for something that sounds so exotically European,
its downright inexpensive.
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Salt and ground black pepper
4 small to medium Belgian endives
3/4 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
Heat the oven to 350 F. Coat a medium (9by-9-inch) baking dish with cooking spray.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat,
melt the butter. Add the onion and cook
until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the
garlic and tarragon, then cook until fragrant, another minute. Whisk in the flour
and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the
milk, whisking constantly. Cook over
medium heat, stirring, until the sauce
begins to thicken, about 6 minutes. Turn off
the heat, stir in mustard, then season with
salt and pepper. Set aside.
Cut off the woody stems of the endive and
slice them in half lengthwise. Season them
with salt and pepper. Place the endive in the
prepared baking dish. Pour the sauce over
the endive halves. Cover with foil and bake
for 15 minutes. Remove the foil, then
sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top.
Return to the oven for another 15 minutes,
or until the endive is tender.
If desired, increase heat to broil and broil

the gratin until the cheese is bubbly and

browned, about 1 minute. Be careful as the
cheese will burn quickly. Let cool for a few
minutes before serving.

took a variety of items including electronics, jewelry and in one case even a silver
Porsche 991S, as they ransacked homes in

tion has become an epidemic as companies
increasingly rely on computer data systems. Despite the prevalence of abuse,
[PetSmart] stored its customers personal
information in a cavalier and exposed manner, according to the lawsuit.
A PetSmart representative said its company policy not to comment on pending litigation.
According to the suit, the Timkos were in
Tahoe celebrating their daughters wedding
on the weekend of Aug. 30, 2013, when
they received a disturbing call that their
home had been burglarized.
Kirk was convicted last September of
leveraging her employment to garner customers addresses and vacation dates then
tip off Ortega-Ramos.
The couple allegedly broke into the
Timkos home by ripping a screen and
removing a sliding glass window near the
laundry room. Once inside, they ransacked
numerous bedrooms, opened drawers,
removed clothing, jewelry and sentimental
objects and forced their way into a wall safe,
according to the suit.
As a result, the Timkos suffered economic,
emotional and mental distress, according to

h i s mi d-y ear b udg et rep o rt .

Rent control only benefits a small
group of residents, he said.
Most who spoke on the issue Tuesday,
however, supported the effort to rein in
rents.
Officials with HIP Housing, San
Francisco Organizing Project/Peninsula
Interfaith Action, Redwood City Residents
for Renter Protections and other nonprofits
each praised the countys effort to study
rent stabilization.
Its a battlefield out there to find housing, said HIPs Executive Director Katie
Comfort-Harr. She said the agency gets 10

the suit.
A PetSmart representative could not confirm how long Kirk was employed at the San
Carlos locale. Kirk and Ortega-Ramos
pleaded no contest to 11 counts of residential burglary and one count of attempted burglary stemming from their 2013 crimes.
A judge ordered Kirk and Ortega-Ramos to
pay the Timkos $109,253.16 in restitution,
on top of another $54,177 in restitution
applicants for every shared housing unit it
represents.
In Maltbies report, he writes that the
county is wealthy enough to end homelessness by 2020 and that the county should
concentrate on building a foundation for a
community in which everyone has the
opportunity not only to survive but
thrive.
While Supervisor Adrienne Tissier said
she was not a big supporter of rent control
in general but that a study was necessary.
Less property owners are accepting
Section 8 vouchers, she said.
Supervisor Dave Pine said the county and

spread among seven other victims, said
Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen
Guidotti. Yet as the couple is stuck behind
prison bars, Guidotti said it may be difficult
for victims to collect in full.
This is a lot obviously, so the likelihood
of them paying entirely this amount is
remote, Guidotti said. However, the
California Department of Corrections is
very good about collecting restitution from
the defendants [earnings].
In naming PetSmart, Kirk and OrtegaRamos as defendants, the Timkos are seeking a jury trial in their complaint alleging
negligent hiring supervision and retention,
trespassing, nuisance, conversion and
more. They are seeking damages in an
amount specified at trial.
PetSmart violated the Timkos trust by
allowing its employees unrestricted access
to customers confidential information and
negligently supervising its employees use
of said information, allowing the information to be used for nefarious actions,
according to the suit.

Salads get substantial during colder months

By Melissa DArabian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Eating a salad a day is a habit I adopted a

while back to help me automate the eating
of raw veggies. Either my lunch or my dinner usually is built around some sort of
salad. And I try to stay true to the spirit of
healthier eating when I do so. Meaning fried
chicken tenders propped on top of a bed of
greens doesnt quite cut it.
Of course, salads are easy in summer. We
celebrate sun-ripened tomatoes in a caprese
salad, or happily pluck juicy strawberries
from the field to toss with a bunch of peppery greens. But winter salad? I say enthusiastically: Yes! Grab some hearty, dark leafy
greens and let the delicious, healthy eating
begin. Unlike their lighter summer counterparts, winter salads tend to be more substantial and filling.
One of my favorite winter salads that
manages to feel both energizing and comforting at the same time is this chopped
kale and lentil salad. The star is a handy box
of steamed precooked lentils. Most grocers
carry these alongside the packaged produce.
Keep a box in the refrigerator and youll
find a million ways to use those lentils. Add
a handful to soups, pasta or quinoa dishes,
tuck some into an egg white omelet topped
with salsa, or saute some up with brown rice
and curry paste.
Looking to save a little cash? Its easy to
boil up your own lentils (dry lentils are
cheaper). The easiest way to cook dry green
lentils is to boil them in ample salted water
until al dente, about 12 to 15 minutes.
Either way, lentils are a nutritional bargain.
Each cup of lentils is packed with folate, 16

grams of fiber and 18 grams of protein.
For this salad, use any hearty green. Kale
is ubiquitous this time of year, and its pretty darn cheap. Toasted walnuts add a nice
texture and savory flavor (plus some omega
fatty acids), and quick-pickled shallots
bring tang. The black truffle salt is my own
little treat, so consider it completely
optional (though its completely delicious).

CHOPPED KALE AND

LENTIL WINTER SALAD
Start to finish: 25 minutes
Servings: 6 (as a main)
1 large bunch of kale, washed, dried, destemmed and chopped (about 4 cups)
2 cups cooked green lentils
3/4 cups walnuts, toasted and roughly
chopped

2 small shallots, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons white or apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup boiling water
Kosher salt
1 pear, cored and diced
For the dressing:
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons olive oil
Ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon black truffle salt (optional)
In a large salad bowl, combine the kale,
lentils and walnuts.
Place the shallots in a small bowl, then
pour the vinegar and boiling water over
them. Add a pinch of salt, then stir and set
aside to pickle for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in another small bowl prepare the dressing. Whisk together the mustard, lemon juice, vinegar and water.
Drizzle in the olive and whisk until emulsified. Add pepper and black truffle salt, if
using.
Once the shallots have pickled for 5 minutes, add the diced pear, toss for a few seconds, then drain, discarding the liquid. Use
paper towels to blot the shallots and pear
dry, then add them to the salad bowl. Pour
the dressing over the salad, then toss to
coat. Drizzle on more olive oil if desired
before serving.

MARINA
Continued from page 1
argued constructing one would need the
economic support of housing and
therefore councils approval.
Housing opponents coalesced over
the recent failed proposals to redevelop two shopping centers in the city
with a population just over 30,000,
and cited regular gridlocked traffic,
crowded schools and the construction
of hundreds of residential units already
underway as reason to deny the marina.
Councilmembers agreed, indicating
theyd prefer to wait until the more
than 800 already approved units have
been constructed and the impacts actualized before considering further housing proposals.
I can appreciate what you want to do
and Im sorry that I have to be one of
those to discourage you, Councilman
Charlie Bronitsky said to project proponents. But I truly believe that its
not in the best interest of the city of
Foster City to proceed at this time with
this project.
Instead, Bronitsky and Councilman
Herb Perez urged the council to work
on its planning documents and provide
residents with a more comprehensive
forum to discuss the goals and future of
the city.
We have an affirmative obligation
to have a conversation about a 40year-old document and the future.
We have not had a sophisticated conversation about the future of this city
other than by a project by project
basis, Perez said.

Already overcrowded
The current state of Foster Citys
schools was touted by officials and
residents alike as reason to deny the
marina project.
While still in the early design stages

to act as an independent nonprofit to

using Pacific Gas and Electrics infrastructure.
The other 10 cities in the county
have either agendized the item or provided verbal confirmation to participate, said Jim Eggemeyer with the
Office of Sustainability.
Cities are now collecting data on
megawatt hours and peak demand levels from its electricity users.
There are currently three of the
aggregation programs operating in the
state now including Marin Clean
Energy and Sonoma Clean Energy. A

and assuring an environmental impact

report would address a range of concerns, Miller said developers received
a letter from the San Mateo-Foster
City Elementary School District indicating any new students generated
from the project would likely be sent
to schools in San Mateo.
Resident Dmitry Koltun said approving projects knowing Foster City children wouldnt have access to schools
within their city limits will be the
equivalent of taking a wrecking ball to
this community.
Councilmembers agreed and urged
residents become more engaged in
efforts to alleviate overcrowding while
acknowledging theyre at the mercy of
the school district shared with the
more populous San Mateo.

Balancing job growth and traffic

Isolated from public-transit hubs,
residents complained of increasing
traffic jams in the city bordered by
State Route 92 and Highway 101.
With a booming tech industry slated
to bring thousands of jobs into the
city, some questioned whether a firm
anti-housing growth sentiment would
be appropriate in the long term.
The housing market is crazy right
now. I dare anyone to tell me their
house is worth less today than it was in
2008. Theyre getting bids over asking price and yet theres no inventory,
so Im not sure, theres got to be a balance, Mayor Art Kiesel said while
opposing the marina proposal. Jobs
are going crazy on the Peninsula and,
without housing on the Peninsula,
where do you think theyre going to
live? Across the Bay and commute
across the bridge.
Vice Mayor Gary Pollard agreed traffic is a mess, but the cause doesnt necessarily correlate to adding residences
as, up until 2013, the city hadnt added
a single unit since 2000.
A few members of the public spoke
third, Lancaster Choice Energy in Los
Angeles County will start in spring.
A JPA between the county and cities
could be formed later this year and the
program could launch by September
2016, Eggemeyer said.
Launching the program is expected
to cost $1.5 million but that money
could be recouped by ratepayers in the
future, said Supervisor Dave Pine, who
first brought the idea to the board.
South San Francisco Councilman
Pradeep Gupta noted that corporate
giants Apple and Google are in the
process of securing long-term renewable energy contracts to power their
facilities in both a move to save
money and the environment.
He praised the countys effort to buy
clean energy in bulk.
Menlo Park resident Jan Butts told
the board the program might ultimate-

in favor of the marina concept and

urged opponents try to keep an open
mind about the future.
Lets protect the community and
make incremental progress. But lets
make some forward progress. Because I
dont believe in standing still, said
Joe Ward, a Foster City resident hailing from Australia.

Environmental hurdles
Constructing a marina requiring
extensive dredging and infill is no
easy feat and requires approval from
numerous local, regional, state and
federal agencies.
Project representatives pledged to
restore upland and wetland habitats to
support endangered species as a key
component of the proposal as well as
create whatever magnitude of levee
mandated by the government.
However, representatives from Bay
preservation groups such as the Sierra
Club, the Committee for Green
Foothills, the Citizens Committee to
Complete the Refuge and the Sequoia
Audubon Society spoke adamantly
against the proposal.
Sea level rise predictions pose
another challenge and are cause for
restraint in considering developments
along the susceptible Bayfront,
Bronitsky said.
While councilmembers couldnt help
but expand on issues outside the scope
of the marina project, many wondered
if Foster City could still one day host
this type of Bayside recreational destination.
I want to encourage you to come
back in a few years as we start to see
the 844 units that are going to come
online. Id like to see how we handle it
first, Pollard said. So I think theres
opportunity for this type of project.
But Im for managed growth.

ly push PG&E to generate more renewable energy.
There is no question we cant act
fast enough to reduce our carbon emissions, Pine said at Tuesdays board
meeting.
Community Choice Aggregation
allows a local government, or group of
local governments, to pool the electricity demand of their residential,
business and municipal accounts to
purchase or develop power on their
behalf, according to Pines office.
The rates for renewable energy in
most instances are lower than or competitive with PG&E rates depending on
the percentage being purchased,
according to Pines office.
Customers will have a choice to purchase 100 percent renewable energy,
solar, wind or other, or a 50/50 mix,
according to Pines office.

SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA

County of San Mateo
Citation to Appear
No. A16226
In the Matter of the Petition of
VINCENT J. SANDAGATA, on Behalf
of JUSTIN B. DECELIS, a minor
The People of the State of California,
To any known and unknown fathers:
By order of this court, you are hereby cited and required to appear before Department 6 of the above-entitled Court on
March 12, 2015 at 9:00am, then and
there to show cause, if any you have,
why Justin B. Decelis, a minor, should
not be declared free from your parental
control according to the petition on file
herein to free the minor for adoption.
The address of the court is: 222 Paul
Scannel Drive, San Mateo, CA 94402.
The following information concerns rights
and procedures that relate to this proceeding for the terminationn of custody
and control of Justin B. Decelis as set
forth in the Section 7822 fo the Family
Code.
(1) At the beginning of the proceeding
the court will consider whether or not the
interests of Justin B. Decelis require the
appointment of counsel. If the court finds
that the intertest of Justin B. Decelis do
require such protection, the court will appoint counsel to represent him, whether
or not he is able to afford counsel. Justin
B. Decelis will not be present in court unless he so requests or the court so orders.
(2) If a parent of Justin B. Decelis appears without counsel and is unable to

proportions as the court believes to be
just. If, however, the court finds that any
of the real parties in interest can not afford counsel, the amount will be paid by
the county.
(4) The court may continue the proceeding for not more than 30 days as necessary to appoint counsel and to enable
cousel to become acquainted with the
case.
