POST to connect Coastal Trail


Nonprofit buys 21 acres at Pillar Point bluffs, will donate to count
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

After more than a decade of working to


preserve the pristine coastal bluff tops
near Pillar Point Harbor, the Peninsula
Open Space Trust announced Thursday it
has purchased another 21 acres that will
be donated to the San Mateo County

Department of Parks.
The El Granada site, located just west of
the Half Moon Bay Airport and north of the
U.S. Air Force Base, is situated between two
parcels previously purchased by POST and
will complete a segment of the popular
California Coastal Trail.
This is the fulfillment of a decade-long
dream to preserve Pillar Point bluff, POST

President Walter T. Moore said in a press


release. This is a spectacular piece of the
California coast and we are thrilled that people can now take an uninterrupted hike on
this property and enjoy the incredible scenic beauty of this place.
The area is known for spectacular views of
the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve as well as the
Mavericks surf break while serving as criti-

cal habitat for species such as the threatened


California red-legged frog and the endangered San Francisco garter snake, according
to POST.
The nonprofit previously purchased adjacent Pillar Point bluff properties including
119 acres in 2004, 4 acres in 2007 and 17

Social worker pleads not guilty to sexual assaults


By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A former San Mateo County social worker pleaded not guilty Friday to 30 counts of
having sexual relations with three underage girls who were under his supervision.
Manuel Sedillo, a 38-year-old Santa
Clara man with a wife and child, was
arraigned in San Mateo County Superior
Court and scheduled to face a jury July 20,
according to the District Attorneys
Office.
Sedillo was working for the countys
Human Services Agency when he allegedly
assaulted three 16-year-old East Palo Alto
girls who were on his caseload, according
to the District Attorneys Office.
The charges against him include unlawful sexual intercourse, oral copulation and
sexual penetration with a minor.
Sedillo was assigned to the family of the
first reported victim in 2011 and became

very friendly with her


before beginning a sexual
relationship
between June 21, 2014,
and July 31, 2014.
Sedillo reportedly had
sexual relations with
her at several motels, a
San Mateo County
Manuel Sedillo beach and the Child
Protective
Services
office in East Palo Alto, according to the
District Attorneys Office.
The second victim reported Sedillo, who
was like a father to her, took her to an
upscale San Jose hotel where they had sexual encounters, according to the District
Attorneys Office.
Since Sedillos arrest last October, a
third victim came forward alleging he sexually assaulted her in his personal and
county-provided cars, according to the
District Attorneys Office.
The third victim, now 21, was 16 and 17

years old at the time she was assaulted by


Sedillo, said Chief Deputy District
Attorney Karen Guidotti.
Anybody that preys on young girls or
young people are committing despicable
acts and to have a person who is in a position of authority who is supposedly there
to help these girls, and yet betrays them
like this, its really unthinkable. Its hard
to imagine the kind of damage that is done
to these young women when they cant
trust a person whos supposed to be helping them, Guidotti said.
Sedillo began working for the countys
Human Services Agency in 2006, and was
placed on administrative leave in July
after the first girl came forward. He ultimately resigned from the Children and
Family Services Department just before he
was arrested in October.
A pretrial conference has been scheduled
for June 15 and Sedillo is currently out on
$600,000 bail. A call to his attorney was
not returned.

Residents help design new community center


Burlingame officials receive input on facility design; extend dog park pilot program
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Some Burlingame residents would like the


proposed new community center to feature
warm and inviting softly-lit wood tones
with the pronounced character of a modern
civic structure, according to feedback provided during a public meeting.
The roughly 30 people who attended the
Parks and Recreation Commission meeting
Thursday, March 19, gave their opinion
regarding the design of the new building to
architects and city officials, in hopes their
input will shape the future of the new center
located at 850 Burlingame Ave.
Those in attendance were given three

opportunities to vote in favor, and one vote


against, eight examples of potential
designs during the Parks and Recreation
Commission meeting.
A majority of the votes in favor were split
between a warm and inviting template,
which featured a modern structure with softly-lit wood paneling and a civic design,
which also offered modern a building, but
with larger walls of windows.
The least popular option was an expressive, unconventional template design that
featured a more outlandish and creative
approach to building.
Group 4 Architecture, which will help
design the new community center, also
allowed residents to give feedback on the

Review cites prison guards


problems with guns and alcohol
SACRAMENTO Californias corrections department has
a problem with off-duty prison guards brandishing or carrying
firearms while they are intoxicated, the departments inspector general said Friday.
One correctional officer danced atop a bar while drunkenly
flashing his gun several times at private citizens in the tavern. Another drunken officer pointed a .40 caliber semi-automatic handgun at a citizens chest during an argument.
They are two of seven incidents since June 2014 that show
the department needs to automatically and immediately revoke
concealed carry permits for officers caught consuming alcohol
while possessing weapons, the inspector general said.
Such behavior is not only dangerous to the public but
brings discredit to the department, Inspector General Robert
Barton wrote in a report that tracks departmental and criminal
investigations of Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation employees.

Fracking: U.S. tightens rules for chemical disclosure


By Matthew Daly and Josh Lederman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Obama administration said Friday it is requiring companies


that drill for oil and natural gas on federal
lands to disclose chemicals used in
hydraulic fracturing, the first major federal
regulation of the controversial drilling
technique that has sparked an ongoing
boom in natural gas production but raised
widespread concerns about possible groundwater contamination.
A rule to take effect in June also updates
requirements for well construction and disposal of water and other fluids used in fracking, as the drilling method is more commonly known.
The rule has been under consideration for
more than three years, drawing criticism
from the oil and gas industry and environmental groups alike. The industry fears federal regulation could duplicate efforts by
states and hinder the drilling boom, while

some environmental groups worry that


lenient rules could allow unsafe drilling
techniques to pollute groundwater.
Reaction to the rule was immediate. An
industry group announced it was filing a
lawsuit to block the regulaion and the
Republican chairman of the Senate
Environment and Public Works Committee
announced legislation to keep fracking regulations under state management.
The final rule hews closely to a draft that
has lingered since the Obama administration proposed it in May 2013. The rule
relies on an online database used by at least
16 states to track the chemicals used in
fracking operations. The website,
FracFocus.org, was formed by industry and
intergovernmental groups in 2011 and
allows users to gather well-specific data on
tens of thousands of drilling sites across the
country.
Companies will have to disclose the
chemicals they use within 30 days of the
fracking operation.

Fracking involves pumping huge volumes of water, sand and chemicals underground to split
open rocks to allow oil and gas to flow.

States to test ways to send food stamp recipients to work


By Mary Clare Jalonick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON New federal grants will


help 10 states test programs to help food
stamp recipients find jobs, from using
career coaches to quicker training courses to
mental health assistance.
The grants, announced Friday in Georgia
by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, come
as the Republican Congress is exploring
ways to cut the program, which cost $74

billion last year twice its cost in 2008.


Some in the GOP have proposed stricter
work requirements as a way to do that. But
the Obama administration sees better worker training as an alternative to cuts or
stricter work requirements.
Vilsack said the grants will help USDA
identify what works and what doesnt in
terms of getting people to work.
The food stamp program has long been
the center of political wrangling in
Washington, with elective officials debating it virtually endlessly. Republicans for

the most part have called it a government


give-away and have worked historically to
rein it in, if not eliminate it. Many
Democrats, particularly those in the partys
liberal wing, have steadfastly fought cuts to
the program, calling it an essential element
of the federal governments safety net for
the poor.
Washington provides the money for food
stamps, now called the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. But
it is administered by the states, with regulations varying from state to state.

State bills would limit access to officer body camera videos


By Ryan J. Foley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

IOWA CITY, Iowa State legislators


around the country are pushing to make it
much harder for the public to obtain police
officer body camera videos, undermining
their promise as a tool people can use to
hold law enforcement accountable.
Lawmakers in at least 15 states have

introduced bills to exempt video recordings


of police encounters with citizens from
state public records laws, or to limit what
can be made public.
Their stated motive: preserving the privacy of people being videotaped, and saving
considerable time and money that would
need to be spent on public information
requests as the technology quickly becomes
widely used.

Advocates for open government and civil


rights are alarmed.
Police departments nationwide are already
spending millions to outfit officers with
cameras and archive the results. In this latest clash between the peoples right to
know and government authority, the
responsibility to record encounters, retain
copies and decide what to make public mostly rests with the same police.

FBI asks for patience in black
mans hanging in Mississippi
PORT GIBSON, Miss. An FBI agent
appealed for patience Friday after a black man
was found hanging from a tree in
Mississippi, saying 30 federal, state and
local agents were working intensively to
determine whether he was killed or committed
suicide.
Everybody wants answers and wants them
quickly. We understand that, FBI Special
Agent Don Alway told a crowd outside the
Claiborne County Courthouse. We are
going to hold off on coming to any conclusions until the facts take us to a definitive
answer.
The county coroner confirmed that the man
found hanging from a white sheet Thursday
was Otis Byrd, an ex-convict reported missing by his family more than two weeks ago.
Byrd lived just 200 yards from the spot where
his body was found, in a wooded area off a dirt
road that ran behind his house.
Alway said investigators are interviewing
Byrds family and friends and searching his
rental home and a storage unit for clues, and
will not reveal any evidence along the way.

Boehner off to Israel;


Netanyahus ties to
Obama hit new low
By Deb Riechmann
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON House Speaker John


Boehner is heading to Israel as already
strained relations between the White
House and newly re-elected Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hit a new
low this week.
On the surface, the Republican leaders
announcement Friday that hell visit Israel
looks like a jab at the White House.
But a congressional aide insisted that
Boehners trip during the two-week congressional recess that begins March 30
was planned before new rifts developed
over Netanyahus address to Congress and
the prime ministers remarks this week
about the peace process. The aide spoke on
condition of anonymity because he wasnt
authorized to publicly disclose details of
the trip.

President Barack Obama bristled when


Boehner invited Netanyahu to address U.S.
lawmakers earlier this month about his
fears that an emerging nuclear agreement
would pave Irans path to nuclear weapons.
Relations took another hit Monday
when Netanyahu made hard-line statements
against the establishment of a Palestinian
state.
Speaking on the eve of his re-election,
Netanyahu said there could be no
Palestinian state while regional violence
and chaos persist conditions that could
rule out progress on the issue for many
years. That ruffled the Obama administration, which views a two-state solution as a
top foreign policy priority and had dispatched Secretary of State John Kerry for
months of shuttle diplomacy in an effort to
reach an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement that never materialized.
On Thursday, Netanyahu seemed to back-

track, saying in a TV interview that he
remains committed to Palestinian statehood if conditions in the region
improve. Netanyahu told MSNBC that he
hadnt changed his policy and that he
remained committed to the two-state
vision he spelled out in a landmark 2009
speech.
Obama called Netanyahu to congratulate

him on his re-election, but also told the


Israeli leader that the U.S. is reassessing
its approach to Israeli-Palestinian peace in
light of his comments about a Palestinian
state. A White House official said Obama
also raised Netanyahus critical comments
about Israeli Arabs ahead of the election,
which the White House has denounced as a
cynical effort to mobilize voters.

Capitol Hill Buzz: House Judiciary Committee enlists GIFs


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The House Judiciary


Committee includes some of President
Barack Obamas fiercest critics on immigration. That doesnt mean they cant have fun.
The panel took an unusually lighthearted

approach to immigration policy this week,


posting a Buzzfeed-style listicle comprised
of animated GIFs to illustrate the GOPs
opposition to Obamas executive actions
deferring deportations for millions of people in the U.S. illegally.
Celebrities including Britney Spears,

Jennifer Lawrence, Steve Carell and Kristen


Wiig are featured exclaiming in horror and
amazement at captions describing Obamas
moves, and promoting a GOP bill that
allows state and local governments to
enforce immigration laws.
This is the best! actress Emma Stone is
shown exclaiming over a caption asserting that By allowing hundreds of thousands of local law enforcement officers to
enforce our immigration laws, we keep
immigration enforcement up and operating, even when a president tries to unlaw-

fully refuse to enforce our laws.


Its just the latest example of politicians
trying to co-opt popular culture or Internet
trends. Obama appeared in a Buzzfeed video
recently wielding a selfie stick to photograph himself with a smart phone. House
Speaker John Boehner used a listicle of
Taylor Swift GIFs earlier this year to attack
Obamas proposal for free community college.
Judiciary Committee aides said the panel
is always looking for more effective ways
to communicate.

World powers, Iran face make-or-break nuke talks


By George Jahn
and Bradley Klapper
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAUSANNE, Switzerland The


United States and Iran broke off
nuclear negotiations ahead of
schedule Friday, setting up makeor-break talks next week for a deal
providing long-term assurance to
the world that the Iranians cannot
develop nuclear weapons. The
sides were close to an agreement, a
top Russian official said.
The session in the Swiss city of
Lausanne was interrupted on its
sixth day so members of the
Iranian delegation could attend the
funeral of their presidents mother. Those departing included
Foreign Minister Mohammad
Javad Zarif, the main negotiating
partner of U.S. Secretary of State
John
Kerry,
and Hossein
Fereydoon, a brother of Iranian
President
Hassan
Rouhani.
Diplomats didnt promise a breakthrough this week, but strove to
make as much progress as possible with a March 31 deadline for a
framework accord looming.
Top Russian negotiator Sergey
Ryabkov told the Associated Press
that while some disputes remain,
the U.S., Iran and five other world
powers negotiating the deal are
expected to finish their main
work before the talks resume next
week. He spoke shortly before
Kerrys last meeting with Zarif on
Friday. This weeks discussions
had been tentatively extended to
go into Saturday.
Ryabkovs comments were consistent with those of other officials who told the AP earlier that

Obama calls for return of Americans held in Iran


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON In the midst


of an unexpected break in Iranian
nuclear talks, President Barack
Obama is calling for the return of
Americans held in Iran.
In a message commemorati n g t h e Pers i an New Year,
Obama says its a time for fam-

ilies to be reunited.
He says Iran should immediately release U.S. prisoners Saeed
Abedini of Boise, Idaho; Amir
Hekmati of Flint, Michigan; and
Jason Rezaian of Marin County,
California. Obama also says Iran
should help
find Robert
Levinson, a former FBI agent
who went missing eight years

ago from the Iranian resort of


Kish Island.
Iran and six world powers broke
off nuclear negotiations Friday to
allow the Iranian delegation to
attend the funeral of their presidents mother. Secretary of State
John Kerry issued a statement
extending
condolences
to
President Hassan Rouhani.

the United States and Iran are drafting elements of a deal that commits the Iranians to a 40 percent

cut in the number of machines


they could use to make an atomic
bomb. In return, Iran would get

quick relief from some crippling


economic sanctions and a partial
lift of a U.N. embargo on conven-

tional arms. The sides ultimately


want to reach a full agreement by
June 30.
But both Washington and
Tehran face pressure to iron out the
main contours of a deal by this
months end, with U.S. President
Barack
Obama and Irans
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei having
spoken against extending negotiations for the third time. Iran says
the programs aims are for energy,
medical and research purposes, but
much of the world believes it harbors nuclear weapons ambitions.
In Brussels, French President
Francois Hollande, British Prime
Minister David Cameron and
German Chancellor Angela Merkel
discussed the state of negotiations
Friday with the EUs top diplomat,
Federica Mogherini. All three
countries are negotiating with the
United States, as are Russia and
China.
State Department spokeswoman
Marie Harf said Kerry would meet
with the foreign ministers of
Britain, France and Germany in
London Saturday, before returning
to Washington.
The U.S. is determined to maintain unity among its partners. But
France, which raised last minute
objections to an interim agreement reached with Iran in 2013,
could threaten a deal again. It is
particularly opposed to providing
Iran with quick relief from international sanctions and is trying to
secure a longer timeframe for
restrictions on Irans nuclear
activity.
Diplomats said the talks would
resume after March 25. The venue
will likely be in Switzerland.

Business brief
Olive Garden gets boost
from diners splurging on extras
NEW YORK Olive Garden is weaning diners off two-for$25 dinners and luring them to splurge a bit on extras like
drinks and desserts. Those add-ons, a sign that customers
might be more willing to open their wallets, helped push sales
up for a restaurant chain that limped through the recession and
a shift toward better fast food personified by Chipotle.
The struggling restaurant chain said Friday quarterly sales
edged up 2.2 percent at established locations, marking the first
back-to-back quarterly gains in five years. Thats partly
because diners were ordering more extras like alcohol and
desserts and Olive Garden pulled back on discounts.
We are seeing a little bit healthier of a consumer, said Gene
Lee, CEO of Darden Restaurants, which owns Olive Garden and
other chains including Yard House and Seasons 52.
The modest bump in sales follows a 0.5 percent increase in
the previous quarter, making it the first time since 2010 Olive
Garden achieved consecutive quarters of sales gains. Still, its
not necessarily a sign that a turnaround is underway; customer
traffic was still down in the period, and the improvement came
after a 5.4 percent decline in sales a year ago.

NEW YORK Stocks advanced


Friday, capping a strong week, helped
by a recovery in the price of oil and
earnings from Olive Garden owner
Darden Restaurants and sportswear
giant Nike.
The Nasdaq composite index inched
closer to its all-time high set at the
height of the dot-com bubble.
Once again, it was the Federal
Reserve affecting much of this weeks
market movement.
The Fed implied at the end of its twoday meeting Wednesday that its policymakers were in no hurry to raise
interest rates with the U.S. economy
still growing slowly and inflation
extremely low. Fridays rally was partly an extension of that, strategists
said.
The trepidation in the market
before the Fed announcement has disappeared, said Kristina Hooper, U.S.
investment strategist at Allianz
Global Investments.
The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 168.62 points, or 0.9 percent, to
18,127.65. The Standard & Poors 500
index rose 18.79 points, or 0.9 percent, to 2,108.06 and the Nasdaq composite added 34.04 points, or 0.7 percent, to 5,026.42.

The trepidation in the market before


the Fed announcement has disappeared.
Kristina Hooper, U.S. investment strategist at Allianz Global Investments

The Nasdaq closed 22 points from


the record high of 5,048 it set in
March 2000. It has taken the Nasdaq
15 years to recover from the dot-com
bubble, while the S&P 500 and Dow
recovered their losses in 2007 and
2006, respectively.
Dow member Nike was among the
biggest gainers Friday, rising $3.66,
or 3.7 percent, to $101.98. Nikes
results beat expectations, but
investors focused more on the fact that
foreign sales remain strong despite the
rising dollar and overseas market
volatility.
The rapid rise in the dollar has been
a particular sore spot for investors.
The dollar is up more than 8 percent
against the major currencies this year,
which makes goods made in the U.S.
more expensive abroad and has had a
direct negative impact on sales. The
dollar rose to 120.09 yen from 120.76
yen Thursday. The euro rose to
$1.0809 from $1.0668 the previous
day.
The latest example was jewelry
maker Tiffany & Co., which cut its

full-year profit forecast, saying the


higher dollar was making its products
less attractive to foreign buyers.
Tiffanys stock fell $3.44, or 4 percent, to $82.93.
The dollars appreciation has been
rapid and its become a problem for
many of these companies who have
significant exposure to foreign markets,
said
Russ
Koesterich,
BlackRocks global chief investment
strategist.
Oil also helped the market Friday.
After dropping more than 3 percent
Thursday, U.S. benchmark oil for April
delivery jumped $1.76, or 4 percent,
to $45.72 a barrel. Energy stocks rose
far more than the rest of the market.
The S&P 500s energy sector gained 2
percent.
Oil ended a volatile week up 2 percent even after dropping to its lowest
level in six years on Tuesday. Oil
inventories are at record highs, but the
number of rigs drilling for oil is
falling fast and a sliding U.S. dollar is
making oil a more attractive investment to overseas buyers.

Big returns can lead to higher taxes


By Stan Choe
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Even the most pleasing ice cream on a hot summer day can
result in a headache.
Such is the pain mutual-fund
investors are feeling as they prepare
their taxes. Another year of sweet
returns for stock funds is leading to
bigger tax bills for many who own
funds in taxable accounts.
That, plus some other trends from
around the fund industry:
BIGGER TAX BITE
Funds charged ahead in 2014, after
the Standard & Poors 500 index rose
by more than 10 percent for a third
straight year. But the sizeable gains
also pushed many funds to pass along
bigger capital-gains distributions to
their shareholders.
Each year, funds tally the gains and
losses they made from selling stocks.
They then pass on those gains to
shareholders, usually in December.
Investors who own funds in a taxable
retirement account must pay taxes on
these distributions, even if they dont
sell any shares of the mutual fund.
Now that the S&P 500 has more than

tripled since hitting bottom six years


ago, funds are generally booking profits when theyre selling shares of any
stock in their portfolios. And that
means many funds passed along higher
capital-gains distributions for 2014.
A jump in corporate takeovers last
year also pushed the numbers higher.
At the Hennessy Focus fund, for example, shareholders received a long-term
capital-gain distribution of $5.11 per
share in December. Thats nearly five
times what they received a year before.
The fund generally aims to hold on
to stocks for at least five years, and
that buy-and-hold approach usually
results in smaller gains distributions.
The funds 10-year returns rank in the
top 9 percent of its category after
adjusting for capital-gains and other
taxes, according to Morningstar.
But last year, two companies that the
fund owned were acquired, says Ira
Rothberg, co-portfolio manager. That
forced the fund to sell their shares,
which triggered more gains.
INDEXES ON TOP, AGAIN
Last year was a struggle for most
stock pickers looking to beat the S&P
500, even more than the year before.
Most large-cap fund managers fell

short of the index, 86 percent last


year, up from 56 percent in 2013,
according to S&P Dow Jones Indices.
It continues a yearslong trend for
active managers. Over the last decade,
82 percent of large-cap managers have
failed to match the S&P 500. The last
time the majority of them beat the
index was in 2007.
Fund managers specializing in other
areas of the market likewise struggled
to keep up with their respective index.
The majority of small-cap U.S. stock
managers failed to keep up with the
benchmark both last year and over the
last decade. Same with managers who
focus on mid-cap stocks. And emerging-market stocks. And real-estate
investment trusts.
Bond fund managers had more success. The majority who focus on highquality, intermediate-term bonds either
matched or beat the benchmark both
last year and over the last decade, for
example. Same with managers who
focus on global bonds.
With so many funds struggling to
beat their benchmark index, dollars
have increasingly gone to those that
simply try to mimic stock indexes.
Index funds also have lower costs.

Felon using expedited airport security lane renews concerns


By Alicia A. Caldwell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON A key lawmaker


raised questions about air travel security after a convicted felon and former
member of a domestic terrorist organization was able to use an expedited airport security line.
Rep. Bennie Thompson, the senior
Democrat on the House Homeland
Security Committee, said the disclosure of June 29, 2014 incident highlights shortcomings in how the
Transportation
Security
Administration identifies low-risk
passengers as well as the need for
Congress to respond.
The
Homeland
Security
Departments
inspector general
announced Thursday that a felon convicted of murder and explosives-related
offenses was allowed to pass through

the TSAs PreCheck security lane


designed for passengers who are considered a low security risk.
TSAs PreCheck lanes can be
accessed by airline passengers who
enroll in the program and submit to a
background check to ensure they present a low risk to security. But TSA also
selects some passengers for the expedited screening based on biographical
data provided to airlines, including a
passengers name and date of birth.
In the case of the convicted felon, he
was approved for the expedited security lane despite his criminal history. A
TSA officer who checked his boarding
pass recognized him as a convicted
criminal from news reports, the
Inspector General found. When a
supervisor was alerted, the officer was
instructed to let the passenger go
through the faster line, anyway.
The Inspector Generals report did

not say where the incident occurred or


provide any other details about the
mans convictions or former affiliation with a domestic terrorist group.
In a statement issued late Thursday,
the TSA said it takes its responsibility for protecting the traveling public
very seriously.

Ravipati wants to do more than just coach football


could make a big impact.
Ravipati lettered in five sports while at
Harker School, a private school in San
Jose. Dealing with so many different teammates and coaches gave Ravipati an appreciation for all that coaches do and a lot of
it extends beyond the field.
You see the impact all the coaches had on
you, Ravipati said. We want to push [our
players] in three phases be the best student, best person and best football person
you can be.
Ravipati said he plans to expand the academic support program that has already

been instituted and he wants his players to


be more than football players.
Off the field we want to become a more
visible, positive member of the community, Ravipati said.
Not that Ravipati is planning on neglecting the on-the-field product. He wants to
build a Bears squad that is similar to what
M-A has done in the past.

Sione Taufoou may be gone as head football coach for the Menlo-Atherton football
team, but the man who was tabbed to replace
him will bring a lot of the same concepts
and goals.
Adhir Ravipati, who has been on the M-A
football staff since 2011, wants to be more
than a football coach. He looks at his position as a way of guiding high school athletes from children to men.
Ravipati picked up a lot of his philoso-

Taufoou.
Ive known Sione for
a while, since I was at
Harker and he was a trainer at the (sports performance center) Reikes

Padres have three


runs on nine hits in
0-2 start in WCAL
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The glow from the Serra baseball teams


start to the 2015 campaign is quickly wearing off.
The Padres opened the season with a 5-1
mark in non-league play, beating the likes
of East Bay powers De La Salle, James
Logan and San Ramon Valley.
This week, the Padres started West
Catholic Athletic League play, dropping a
tough 2-1 decision to Mitty Wednesday.
The Padres had a chance to get into the
WCAL win column Friday, when they hosted St. Francis.
Suddenly, Serra nds itself in a 0-2 hole
in WCAL play after the Lancers recorded a 52 victory.
[All league games are] important. We
cant sit here and dwell on it, said Serra
manager Craig Gianinno. We have to look
to [Saturday].
Awaiting Serra (0-2 WCAL, 5-3 overall)
Saturday? A road trip to San Jose to take on
8-1 Valley Christian.
The Padres are going to need to solve
their problems with their bats quickly if
they are going to compete for the WCAL
title. In their last two games, the Padres
have collected a total of nine hits.
For the second game in row, the Padres
sticks were mostly silent as St. Francis
starting pitcher Andrew Carter locked up the
Padres for most of the game.
Carter was perfect through 4 1/3 innings,
retiring the rst 13 batters he faced. Serra
designated hitter Scott Ota broke up both
the perfecto and the no-no when he singled
to right with one out in the fth inning for
the Padres rst hit of the game. Tyler

Stanford women head into NCAAs without usual star power


By Josh Dubow

STANFORD For most of the last decade,


Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer has had the
luxury of entering the NCAA Tournament with
a team led by one of the top womens players
in the game.

years.

we know any night it could be anybody who blows up.

This Cardinal squad is a little bit different,


relying on balance more than star power to
make it to the tournament for the 28th consecutive year. Fourth-seeded Stanford (24-9)
will open play Saturday at home against 13thseeded Cal State Northridge (23-9).

Weve had so many people have big games

Kershaw hit in face during As win


By Rick Eymer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MESA, Ariz. Clayton Kershaw broke a


tooth when was hit in the face by a line drive
in the third, then he finished a sharp fiveinning outing for the Los Angeles Dodgers
in a 3-2 loss to the Oakland Athletics in a
game between split squads Friday.
Andy Parrinos soft liner struck Kershaw
on the left side of his face. Third baseman
Juan Uribe picked it up and threw wildly past
first base, setting up the As only run.
It was a cutter right on me, As infielder
Andy Parrino said. I didnt hit it too well
and I dont think he saw it too well. This
early you never want this kind of thing to
happen.
Kershaw fell in front of the mound then
was examined by Dodgers trainer Stan Conte
before throwing a warmup pitch. He
remained in the game and allowed one run on
three hits overall. He struck out four and did
not walk a batter.
My initial feeling was he was going to be
OK, Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis said. I
think it just fooled him. I saw him get up
right away.
Kershaw also had a hit.
Sonny Gray and Barry Zito each had solid
outings for the Athletics. Gray allowed two
runs on four hits in 5 1-3 innings. Zito, in
the hunt for a spot in the starting rotation,
pitched three perfect innings, striking out
five.

The Zito effect


Zito focuses on starting and does not even
consider questions about possibly making
the Athletics as a long-man in the bullpen.
Pitching is all timing and every outing is
another opportunity to get that timing, he
said. Right now Im in a starting position
and Im getting innings like a starter.
Non-roster catcher Luke Carlin, who drove
in the winning run in the bottom of the

ninth, has caught Zito in his past two outings, a combined seven scoreless innings.
He looks like hes taking steps forward
and he continues to impress, Carlin said.
Hes getting better every time out. He got a
couple of punch outs and thats nice to see.

Starting times
Do dg ers : Kershaw, who turned 27 on
Thursday, was a little too efficient and
pitched to two extra batters in the bullpen
to complete his day. He was happy, for the
most part, with his pitches. My fastball
command was better and I had a better slider,
it had more depth on the hitters, he said.
The curve was hit or miss and I threw a couple at the end Id like to have back.
Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis said Kershaw
looked much better than his 3 1-3 inning
stint the last time out. He got back on a
good track today, Ellis said. He was good
at driving that fastball into righties.
Athl eti cs : Gray regrets only that he
could not put up a zero after the As took a 10 lead in third. Otherwise, the As opening
day starter was satisfied with his performance. I gave up a couple of runs but not
because of I made awful pitches.

Trainers room
At h l e t i c s : Outfielder Josh Reddick
(right oblique strain) said he expected to
take some swings off a batting tee Friday. ...
OF Alex Hassan, out since March 11, will
also take swings off a tee. ... OF Sam Fuld

Giants blow ninth-inning lead, lose to Reds


By Don Ketchum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Joey Votto hit his


first home run of the spring in the first
inning and his Cincinnati Reds teammates
went on to rally for five runs in the top of
the ninth for a 6-5 victory over the San
Francisco Giants on Friday night.
A two-run double by Chris Dominguez
gave the Reds the go-ahead runs in the
ninth.
Right-handers Tim Hudson (Giants) and
Anthony DeSclafani (Reds) had solid efforts
to start the game.
Hudson made his third start of the spring
after having surgery to clean debris from his
right ankle in early January. He gave up a
run on one hit - Vottos home run - and
struck out four in 3 2/3 innings.
DeSclafani, acquired in an offseason trade
with Miami for right-hander Mat Latos,
gave up three runs, one earned, on five hits
with two walks and three strikeouts in 4 2/3
innings.

Sports brief
Morgan Hoffmann takes
3-shot lead with 9 birdies at Bay Hill
ORLANDO, Fla. Equipped with his first
PGA Tour lead in 67 starts, Morgan
Hoffmann played Friday like he wanted to
keep it a little longer in the Arnold Palmer
Invitational.
Hoffmann made nine birdies for a 7-under
65 and had a three-shot lead over Henrik
Stenson, Harris English and defending

Starting time
Reds : DeSclafani, the likely third man in
manager Bryan Prices rotation, said he was
fighting himself from the beginning.
Mechanically, I just didnt feel right, he
said. I could sort of tell (warming up before
the game). I made some adjustments and felt
better once I got in the game, but I still wasnt too crisp.
Gi ants : Hudson, who was 9-13 in 31
starts in his first year with the team in
2014, said he felt pretty good with his
pitches, particularly working out of the
windup. It was the best I have thrown this
spring. Everything was on rhythm, on
time.
A large part of that was due to the work he
did in the bullpen in the days leading up to
Friday night, making some adjustments.

Trainers room
Reds : The team is taking it slow with
INF Todd Frazier, who has been dealing with
a sore lower back. CF Billy Hamilton is
being brought along at a moderate pace with

a sore right shoulder. He was thrown out by


Giants 3B Casey McGehee on a bang-bang
bunt play in the third inning. Devin
Mesoraco, who had a mild concussion on
March 7 when hit in the mask by a foul tip,
started behind the plate.
Gi ants : CF Angel Pagan continues to be
sidelined by stiffness in his lower back.
Pagan, who had back surgery in late in
2014, is expected to be out at least until
Monday or Tuesday. C Andrew Susac has
been slowed by a sore right wrist but is
expected to take batting practice on
Saturday after receiving a cortisone injection.

Musical chairs
The injuries to Pagan and RF Hunter Pence
(broken arm) have forced the Giants to reevaluate their group of OFs and who will
play where, or whether they will need to
make a trade.
The latest scenario has manager Bruce
Bochy considering using 1B Brandon Belt
some in LF. Gregor Blanco moved from LF

to CF on Friday night and Travis Ishikawa


started in LF.
Belt started 31 games there as a rookie in
2011 but has not played there since 2012,
when he played four. If Belt goes to the OF,
C Buster Posey could see time at 1B with
Hector Sanchez or Andrew Susac catching.

Roster moves
Reds : RHP Matt Magill, RHP Keyvius
Sampson and OF Kyle Waldrop were
optioned to Triple-A Louisville.
Gi ants : RHP Chris Heston, RHP Cody
Hall and OF Jarrett Parker were optioned to
Triple-A Sacramento and INF Mitchell
Delfino has been reassigned to minorleague camp.

Up next
RHP Tim Lincecum is Saturdays scheduled
starter against the Los Angeles Angels in
Tempe, Ariz. Lincecum, making a bid for the
fifth spot in the Giants rotation, missed a
start earlier in the spring due to neck stiffness, but appears to be back at full strength.

champion Matt Every going into the weekend at Bay Hill.


Every, Stenson and English each shot a
66.
Rory McIlroy finally got into the picture
by making five straight birdies in his round
of 66. He was five shots behind after his
first sub-70 score in three PGA Tour events
this year.
Hoffmann was at 13-under 131, one short
of the 36-hole record at Bay Hill. The cut
was 142, matching the lowest score to make
the cut in Bay Hill history.

Curry overcomes off night, leads Warriors to win


By Michael Wagaman

Warriors 112, Pelicans 96

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Stephen Curry overcame a


subpar shooting performance to score 16
points with 11 assists, Harrison Barnes
added 22 points and the Golden State
Warriors kept rolling at home with a 112-96
win over the New Orleans Pelicans on
Friday night.
Curry missed 12 of his first 13 shots from
the floor and was 0 for 7 from 3-point range
before making back-to-back shots from
beyond the arc in the third quarter. He finished 4 for 17.
Marreese Speights had 13 points off the
bench, while Leandro Barbosa scored 12 for
Golden State. The Warriors improved to 5513, the second-most wins in team history
and four shy of the franchise record.

Alexis Ajinca scored 15 points with eight


rebounds for banged-up New Orleans, which
played without four of their top six players,
including leading scorer Anthony Davis.
The Warriors were also short-handed as
All-Star Klay Thompson sat out his second
straight game with a sprained right ankle.
Even with Thompson sidelined and Curry
struggling on one of his worst shooting
nights of the season, Golden State eased to
its 10th straight win over New Orleans.
Coming off 114-95 win over NBA-leading Atlanta on Wednesday, the Warriors led
by as much as 27 and forced the Pelicans
into 21 turnovers.
Barnes filled some of the scoring void,
helping Golden State pull away in the second quarter before Curry warmed up late in

the third.
He missed his first seven shots beyond
the arc before hitting a deep 3-pointer with
2:36 left that extended Golden States lead
to 75-64. Curry later sank another trey to
make it 86-66.
New Orleans, which began the night one
game behind Oklahoma City in the race for
eighth place in the West, couldnt overcome
their injury problems.
Davis missed his second consecutive
game with a left ankle injury he suffered during a shootaround before Thursdays loss to
the Phoenix Suns. The Pelicans also were
without Omer Asik, Ryan Anderson and Jrue
Holiday.
Speights made a buzzer-beating 3-pointer
at the end of the first quarter to put the
Warriors up 29-26, then Barnes helped
Golden State pull away in the second. He

CAL
Continued from page 11
found their groove again. Jefflos 3-pointer with 8:58 to go
put Cal back up by 10 at 57-47.
As athletic as Wichita State is with that attacking defense
that defines this group, the Shockers couldnt stop Gray and
Co. in the paint. Mikayla Cowling added 11 points, six
rebounds and five assists for the Bears and Gabby Green had
11 points, eight rebounds and four assists, who had the backing of 2,079 in the home crowd while shooting 51.6 percent
in the first half on their way to a 10-point lead at the break.
Boyd picked up her second foul at the 11:23 mark of the
first half and sat for 3 minutes, 11 seconds before returning.
She was whistled for her third with 15:16 to go.
With Wichita State allowing opponents only 51 points,
good for fourth in the nation, Gottlieb prepared her team by
using examples from Arizona States swarming defense.
Taking care of the ball was the No. 1 priority.

STANFORD
Continued from page 11
recent years, VanDerveer switched gears this season to focus
the offense around the talented backcourt of Thompson and
Amber Orrange.
Thompson and Orrange lead the Cardinal in scoring but six
other players led Stanford in single games as the teams
offense is more spread out.
We all took it as a challenge that it was going to be different and a tough road but we could get to the outcome we wanted if we worked hard, senior forward Bonnie Samuelson said.
Here are some other things to watch in the games at
Stanford:

Experience vs. youth


Oklahoma is a tournament regular with 16 straight appearances and three Final Four trips, while Quinnipiac lost in the
first round in its only trip in 2013. But the Bobcats have the
more experienced roster with five senior starters, while the
Sooners are the youngest team in the tournament. Oklahoma
has 12 players in their first or second year of eligibility with
the team. This is a really new experience for a lot of them,
center Kaylon Williams said. As veterans, we shared our
experiences in the past and things we learned when we came
to our first NCAA.

Tournament firsts
Quinnipiac wants to show that it is more than just
Connecticuts other team in the shadow of perennial powerhouse UConn. Quinnipiac joined UConn and Notre Dame as
the only 30-win teams, but the first NCAA Tournament win in
school history would truly give the program validation.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

The Shockers, champions of the Missouri Valley


Conference, have never won an NCAA Tournament game in
making appearances in three straight years.
Cal committed 15 turnovers but held a 38-27 rebounding
advantage as the teams met for the first time.

SERRA

Tip-ins

Villaroman followed with a double and a Calvin Riley


groundout scored Ota to cut Serras decit to 4-1. Felix
Aberouette homered in the bottom of the seventh and Riley
legged out an ineld hit to account for Serras offensive production.
Their guy (Carter) did a good job of mixing pitches,
Gianinno said. Weve seen good arms this year.
St. Francis (2-0, 4-2), on the other hand, raked Serra
pitching throughout the game. The Lancers scored ve runs
on 12 hits, with most of the damage being done at the top
of the order. Leadoff hitter Jeremy Ydens went 3 for 4 with
three runs scored. Carter, the No. 2 hitter, helped his cause
by going 3 for 3 with a run scored and an RBI. Cleanup hitter Devin Canty was 3 for 4 with two RBIs.
Carter also stole four bases.
All told, the top ve spots in the St. Francis lineup were
a combined 11 for 18, scoring and driving in all ve runs.
St. Francis wasted little time in putting pressure on Serra,
scoring twice in the top of the rst inning. Ydens singled to
lead off the game and went to second on a Carter sacrice
bunt. Johnny Mendoza followed and ripped a run-scoring
double off the netting in left eld for a 1-0 Lancers lead.
Mendoza would come around to score when designated hitter Emilio Nogales blooped a RBI-single in front of the
Serra center elder to put St. Francis up 2-0.
I feel we needed to make some plays in that rst
inning, Gianinno said.
St. Francis added a third run in the top of the third. With
one out, Carter singled and stole second. Following a
groundout, Carter came in to score when Canty dumped a
ball into shallow right eld that eluded both the Serra second baseman and right elder.
The Lancers added single runs in the fth and seventh
innings on RBIs from Canty and Carter to account for the
Lancers scoring.
Weve played a tough preseason. Its not like our guys
arent ready, Gianinno said. Weve been here before. Its
no fun. We just have to get collectively better and it starts
with me.

Wichita State: The Shockers allowed their most points all


season after coming in fourth-best in the country for scoring
defense at 51 points. ... Adams is 0-4 in the NCAA
Tournament after also making one appearance guiding Murray
State. ... Wichita State didnt substitute the entire first half,
going to the bench for the first time with 16:57 remaining.
... The Shockers were outrebounded for only the 12th time all
season.
Cal i fo rni a: Gottlieb is 7-3 coaching Cal in the NCAA
Tournament. ... Boyd, still with a bruise under her right eye
from an elbow during the Pac-12 Tournament, was briefly
shaken by a hit to the face with 17:35 left. Im built to run
through a wall, she said. ... This marks the Bears first time
playing an NCAA Tournament home game since the 1991-92
season.
Since weve been here thats all weve been trying to do,
make history and leave our mark, senior guard Jasmine
Martin said. That would be a great way to go out with a win
in the tournament and do something weve never done
before. Cal State Northridge is also looking for its first tournament win, having lost in the first round in 1999 and 2014.

Super subs
Quinnipiac coach Tricia Fabbri isnt afraid to utilize her
bench. Eight reserves average more than 5 minutes per game
as the Bobcats employ an unusual strategy called the The
Gold Rush that involves subbing five players at a time like
a hockey line change. The Sooners also are deep with 10
players averaging double-digit minutes.

Great guards
Stanford and Cal State Northridge both rely heavily on
their backcourts, with the Matadors trio of Ashlee Guay,
Janae Sharpe and Cinnamon Lister providing a tough challenge for Thompson, Orrange and Brittany McPhee. Asked
which guard worried her most, VanDerveer said: The one with
the ball. Theyre all really good.

Home cooking
Maples Pavilion has hosted 59 womens tournament games
heading into this year, second most to the 63 at Tennessees
Thompson-Boling Arena. The Cardinal have played 34 of
those games, losing just four. They have a 10-game home
winning streak in the tournament. Matadors coach Jason
Foster has experience at Maples, as a player on the UCLA
team in 2001 that beat the top-ranked Cardinal and an assistant for the UC Riverside womens team in 2010 that lost to
Stanford. I have some fond memories of Maples as a player,
he said. As a coach, we came in here as a 16 seed when I was
an assistant at Riverside. That wasnt as fond.

COACH
Continued from page 11
Stanford coach) Dave Shaw and Jim Harbaugh. You get a
crash course in football learning from those guys,
Ravipati said. The Harbaugh-Shaw Stanford mindset is how
we want to be as a team. We want to build a bully. We want
to create an illusion of complexity and have defenses have
to make fast decisions.
Ravipati doesnt want to over-complicate things, however. His goal is to develop his offensive and defensive systems that will allow the team to learn the entire playbook
by the end of summer.
(Offensively) we implemented the West Coast system in
2012. Well look to build on that, Ravipati said.
Defensively, keep the scheme really simple. Let them play
fast and really physical.
Ravipati, who has served as the main play caller for several years, said he will turn those duties over to an offensive
coordinator for 2015. Right now, Ravipati is looking to fill
out his coaching staff and will look to fill those slots with
coaches who have a similar philosophy to his.
I pay a lot more attention to how (a coach is) as a person.
We want our kids to be part of that (hiring) process. If we
have to bring a guy out and explain how he does things,
well do that. We want to see them in action, Ravipati said.
As for the team on the field, Ravipati could not have
picked a better year to take over the program. He is expecting 18 returning starters.
We kind of went through some growing pains (last
year), Ravipati said. The kids are hungry.

Avoiding
senioritis
By Mayeesha Galiba

Second semester senior year is the one


everyone dreams of. By this time, all of our
college applications are in and were mentally checked out, daydreaming of other
places and our (hopefully) bright futures.
Its the final stretch.
Were tired, were a little
defeated, we see the light
and we arent sure
whether thats a good
thing. Some of us are
still bogged down by AP
classes (I sure am) and
anxiety over impending college decisions.
Some of us just honestly dont care anymore.
As much as we dont care, we cant let our
senioritis get the best of us. Many have
faced the battle we are currently fighting,
and not all have been successful. Ive heard
tales of high school students accepted into
their dream colleges, who decided they no
longer want to work in their final semester,
got a few Ds and Fs, and ended up in community college in the fall. Why? Because
colleges dont give a damn about your
senioritis. If you show them you arent
willing to continuously perform at the
level they expect, theyll drop you like a
hot potato.
This doesnt mean you have to continue
the pattern of sleepless nights and constant
stress that has become apparent in your
last four years of school. We should be having fun, relaxing, watching copious
amounts of Netflix and shopping for prom
dresses. My point is that we can do all of
these things without totally dropping the
ball. Think of senioritis as an extra large

Urban myth lives in Kumiko


By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

In 2001, a stranger-than-fiction true


story emerged in local papers about a 28year-old Japanese woman who flew from
Japan to Minnesota and bussed to North
Dakota to search for the buried money from
Joel and Ethan Coens 1996 film Fargo.
Her dead body was discovered in the snowy
wilderness, making the tale even more
intriguing.
As the reports will tell you, Takako
Konishi stood out as she wandered around in
the snow in a mini-skirt. Between the language barriers and the mysterious map that
she carried, rumors started to spread that

perhaps she had believed the opening title


card to the Coens film. It reads: This is a
true story.
The only problem was that none of it was
true.
An investigation by writer and filmmaker
Paul Berczeller a few years later found that
Takako Konishis journey and suicide was
likely related to an affair and not a briefcase
full of cash from a fictional movie.
In the years between the initial reports
and the ultimate debunking, indie filmmakers David and Nathan Zellner became fascinated with the myth, and decided to reimagine the sensational story as an epic quest
even after the truth came out.
In Kumiko, The Treasure Hunter, the

Zellners (David Zellner directed, both cowrote and co-star) create a haunting, fantasy
adventure for the ages in one of this centurys most breathtaking independent films.
We first encounter Kumiko (Rinko
Kikuchi) as a distant figure trudging along a
rocky shore in a red-hooded sweatshirt. She
has the gait of someone who knows exactly
where she is going as she heads into a dark
cave and digs into a little crevice to find a
slimy, buried VHS tape of Fargo.
As the words this is a true story flash at
the start of the film, Kumiko decides that it
really is true and her obsession takes course
as she carefully sketches maps of the end-

Run All Night has just


enough gas in the tank
By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Liam Neeson stars in Run All Night.

There are, if not 50, at least a dozen


shades of world-weary masculinity in the
Liam Neeson thriller Run All Night.
Theres Neeson as Jimmy Conlon, a
washed-up Brooklyn hit-man; his mob boss
and pal Shawn Maguire (Ed Harris); Joel
Kinnaman as Jimmys straight-arrow, limodriving son Mike; and Vincent DOnofrios
veteran police detective. By the time Nick
Nolte turns up, presumably contractually
obligated to appear anywhere father-son
issues are bandied and characters are gravely
musing about the things Ive seen, Run

All Night can slam its cards down: a full


house.
Run All Night is the latest in that curious cinematic cottage industry: Old-man
Neeson Revenge Flicks. Its a niche of
thriller often more fun in theory than in
practice, but on the whole, its hard not to
root for keeping alive the pleasures of solid
genre exercises. Such movies take a special
set of skills, ones that Hollywood once
flashed in its sleep, but now seldom rouses.

Insurgent could use


some more divergence
By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Given that conformity is the scourge of


the Divergent series and much of its
young-adult ilk, its a shame that the
films, including the new Insurgent, do
so little to stray from well-worn YA paths.
For a series that waves the banner of
individualism, they make a poor case for
it. Instead of throbbing with a teenage
spirit of rebellion or things like youthful wildness, humor or sex the two
Divergent movies are curiously content
to eke out a rigid, lifeless fable in drab
futuristic environs.
The answer, here, to the question of what
are you rebelling against isnt Whaddya
got? but the slightly less visceral An
elaborate, highly metaphorical dystopian
system of militaristic control.
But even faint, fantastical whiffs of teen
insurrection carry enough potency to drive
feverish young audiences. Why? Much of
it has to do with the stars.
Say what you will about YA movies, but
theyve been an efficient star-making
machine
thats
produced Jennifer
Lawrence, Kristen Stewart and Shailene
Woodley. We should be happy to have
them: good actresses all, who easily lead
their respective films over their male
counterparts.
The YA men arent as fine a bunch but
here include the hunky Theo James and the
excellent Miles Teller. Predictably providing Insurgent with its only lively,
comedic moments, Teller looks as if he
didnt get the note that all must be sullen
and serious.
A quick summary. Based on Veronica
Roths trilogy of best-selling novels, the
Divergent films are set in a walled, postapocalyptic Chicago, where survivors are
ritualistically sorted into five factions.
Every 16-year-old is tested for which faction suits them, and then must choose one
and remain there forever.
Tris (Woodley) chose Dauntless, who are
known for their bravery and, it seems,
their proclivity for train hopping. But her
test revealed her to be divergent
someone who has no dominant characteristic but a plethora and this makes her
uncontrollable. In Divergent, Tris came
to embrace her fate, find a boyfriend in
Dauntless leader Four (James, who has a

natural chemistry with Woodley) and stop


a plot by the citys overlord, Janine (Kate
Winslet) to make zombies of its citizens.
Insurgent, the full name of which is
the suitably clunky The Divergent Series:
Insurgent, finds the tale largely spinning
its wheels and features many redundant
confrontations. Along with an underground revolutionary leader played by an
underused Naomi Watts, Tris and Four
organize a revolt against Janine.
Allegiances are in constant flux; Tellers
sarcastic operator switches sides with the
wind. The plot (which includes Tris brother, played by Ansel Elgort and Jai
Courtneys burly enforcer) progresses less
in a forward motion than in a repetitive
cycle of escapes, surrenders and rescues,
often taking place in the same hallways.
Executions at gunpoint and frequently
threatened suicide add to the cheery atmosphere.
Much of the drama of Insurgent takes
place in a virtual reality in which Tris frequently faces various simulation challenges, forcing her to reconcile her guilt
in the death of her parents, as seen in the
first installment. These sims are where
Insurgent flashes its fanciest effects, but
this dream state just further removes the
film from any tangible reality. Insurgent
is already an allegorical fantasy.
The way of many YA adaptations is to
make the first film cheaply and then, once
its popularity has been proven, boost the
production value in subsequent sequels.
Thats the case with the 3-D Insurgent,
where
director
Robert
Schwentke
(R. I. P. D. ) takes over for Divergent
helmer Neil Burger. The result is a bigger,
glossier and better made action film with
less embarrassing fight choreography. But
any appeal still depends entirely on the
talent of its cast.
The final Divergent book will be split
into two movies, a future that is indeed a
little dystopian. Much brighter, though,
are the blossoming careers of Woodley and
Teller, who were best together in the indie
The Spectacular Now. Movies, thankfully, come in factions, too.
The Divergent Series: Insurgent, a
Summit Entertainment release, is rated PG13 for intense violence and action
throughout, some sensuality, thematic elements and brief language. Running time:
118 minutes. Two stars out of four.

Based on Veronica Roths trilogy of best-selling novels, the Divergent films are set in a walled,
post-apocalyptic Chicago, where survivors are ritualistically sorted into five factions.

Women of Insurgent
break the action mold
By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES On the surface,


Insurgent, with its dystopian setting and
teenage heroine, might just seem like another by-the-numbers young adult tale. Look a
little closer and its clear that this second
installment isnt merely capitalizing on a
popular genre, but, with its half dozen female
leads and supporting characters, actually represents a subtle subversion of what audiences
have been taught action films should be.
When women lead up action-driven films
and franchises, its usually one exceptional
gal against the world. Here, theyre all over
the place, serving as leaders, radicals and
rebels, each wildly diverse, complicated,
charismatic and flawed in their own unique
way.
Insurgent, out Friday, picks up shortly
after the events of the first film, and finds
Tris (Shailene Woodley) exposed as a statewanted divergent, or someone who doesnt
fit into the five designated factions, and on
the run from Jeanine (Kate Winslet), the controlling, ruthless leader whose goal is to

extradite Triss kind from the society.


Still shaken from the violent deaths of her
parents and friend in the first film and on a
path to self-actualization, Tris encounters a
number of adults hoping to mold her in their
image, including franchise newcomers
Johanna (Octavia Spencer), the stoic Amity
leader with the mysterious scar on her face,
and Evelyn (Naomi Watts), a factionless revolutionary with cryptic motives who also
happens to be the estranged mother of Triss
boyfriend Four (Theo James).
Credit for populating the world with strong
female characters goes to author Veronica
Roth, who saw Insurgent as a chance to
really flesh out the environment around Tris.
It was very intentional for me that most of
the leaders in Triss world would be women,
and not necessarily the good guys all the
time, said Roth on a recent afternoon in Los
Angeles.
I think its equally important to have
female villains. When people notice that
theres not a lot of representation in a particular area they try to make those characters

holy symbols that are pure and good. That does a disservice
to women, she said.
Producer Lucy Fisher was particularly delighted by the
sheer number of significant moments between the female
characters, noting that the film easily passes the Bechdel Test
(meaning there must be at least one scene where two female
characters with names discuss something other than a man).
She has a scene with each woman saying, Im not going
to be who you want me to be, said Fisher, who, along with
husband and co-producer Douglas Wick is often driven to
female-centric projects.
We like female empowerment, she said, adding that they
did try to get a woman in the directors chair, before ultimately deciding on German filmmaker Robert Schwentke.
Despite Johannas limited on-screen time in this film,
Spencer said it was a no-brainer to join the project. Not only
was she a fan of the book, but she and Roth had met and bonded at a book event years earlier.
I kind of stalked her, said Spencer with a laugh.
We talked about (Spencer) and the question of race came up
because shes not written as African American but to us it
seemed like a great idea, added Fisher. Unexpected casting
informed most of their decisions surrounding the characters
in the franchise. Fisher and her team liked the idea of Watts,
too, because she didnt exactly fit the mold of a tough,
which makes her even more mysterious on the screen.
For Watts, the only real hesitation came when she realized
shed be playing the mother to an actor only 16 years her junior.
I thought, Oh what the heck. She was young, said
Watts. Ultimately, though, the story belongs to Tris, whos
at a sort of crossroads in figuring out who she wants to be
amid harsh directives from the leadership, her family, and the
various fractionalized micro societies.

(Some, though not me, would cite

is precious little fresh ground to this
familiar New York crime drama, and the
films stylistic flourishes do it no
help, for simple, well-acted genre
thrills, the pulpy Run All Night has
enough gas in the tank.
In Run All Night, penned by Brad
Ingelsby (Out of the Furnace),
father-son disappointments flow in
both directions. Neesons boy,
Jimmy, has sworn off his alcoholic,
mobbed-up father, and kept his family
from ever meeting him. For the
Maguires, the son, Danny (Boyd
Holbrook) is the regrettable one: a
brash, drug-using punk.
The fathers, Jimmy and Maguire, are
Irish, whiskey-swilling holdouts of a
bygone criminal era. The ghosts of a
grittier New York hang over them. All

their friends have died away or been


locked up. (Harris could be seen as
playing his State of Grace Hells
Kitchen mobster after another 25
years. ) Theyre left to lament the
changing of old hangouts like a butcher shop turned into, Maguire sneers, an
Applebees.
After Danny makes promises to
Albanian heroin dealers that he cant
follow through on, he panics and kills
them, only their limo driver (guess
who) witnesses it. When Danny pursues Mike, Jimmy is there to shoot
him. The seriousness of the situation
is immediately apparent: Jimmy has
just killed the son of his one true
friend, wholl surely murder him for it.
He picks up the phone to confess.
An all-night chase across Brooklyn
and Manhattan ensues, a last ditch
effort for Jimmys salvation as he tries
to save his sons life. Listen to your
father for one night, he tells his son.
Though Mike chafes at their reunion,
when Jimmy ably jacks a car with
nothing but a shoe lace, he begins to
brighten.
Collet-Serra links each jump
between characters spread across a

rainy, nighttime New York by an asthe-crow-flies camera zoom that even


avian enthusiasts will scoff at. Such
silly flashiness occasionally crops up
in the film, like in a dinner scene with
Jimmy and Maguire where Collet-Serra
cant stop circling them like an overeager waiter.
But when Collet-Serra isnt getting
in his own way, Run All Night is an
engrossing thriller: the bloody last
breathe of a dying New York, played
out in barrooms, subway stations and
train yards. It does err, though, with
the introduction of an absurdly elite
killer (Common), who kills three cops
within minutes, stealthily rampaging
through a burning apartment building.
The outcome, of course, is never in
doubt. Through the urban gloom
marches our aged hero, heavy of heart
and quick with a gun: our sacrificial
elder. Liam Neeson to the dark tower

Run All Night, a Warner Bros.
release, is rated R for strong violence, language including sexual references and some drug use. Running
time: 108 minutes. Two and a half stars

When Kumiko talks to others, its


almost in a whisper. Every word
uttered seems like a herculean effort.
She might be severely depressed or
something else entirely, but its clear
she was not meant for this world.
Already disconnected, her new mission allows her to retreat from society even further as she embarks for the
new world, imagining herself as a
modern-day conquistador.
Things go wrong from the start
when she arrives in Minnesota. After
her bus breaks down, she sets out on
foot, hobbling down the side of a
major road in the windy snow.
Every soul she encounters tries
their best to help her, while also trying as politely as they can to talk her
out of going to Fargo. A wonderful
police officer (played by director
David Zellner) actually tries to
explain that the movie is not real.

The setbacks just make her more


determined.
With a steady gaze and expert attention to composition and color, David
Zellner and cinematographer Sean
Porter have created a stylish, moody
world around Kumiko that is ominous
and alien. The atmosphere is
enhanced by The Octopus Projects
melancholy music and a few perfectly
placed nods to Carter Burwells iconic
Fargo score.

BORN IN FREEDOM, FINDING


EXPRES S ION IN METAL AND
STONE: ALLAN HOUSER SCULPTURES AT THE PHOENICIAN
RESORT IN SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA. The celebrated Phoenician
resort, nestled at the foot of
Camelback Mountain in Scottsdale,
houses a multi-million dollar art collection, the stars of which are 11 largescale pieces by renowned Native
American sculptor Allan Houser. Set in
prominent locations throughout The
Phoenicians lushly landscaped 250
acres, the works present traditional
Native American life in a contemporary style. Highlights include
Chiricahua Apache Family (bronze) at
the entrance gate and Kiowa Song
(pink Tennessee marble) and Resting
at the Spring (Indiana limestone) in
the Main Lobby outdoor fountains.
ABOUT ALLAN HOUSER. Allan
Houser was born on June 30, 1914, as
Allan Haozous. His parents were of the
Chiricahua Apache tribe held as prisoners for 28 years after refusing to
move from their ancestral lands in New
Mexico to a reservation in Arizona.
Housers father had been with
Geronimo in 1886 when the legendary
leader surrendered to the U.S. Army,
and had been among the 1200
Chiricahuas sent to prisons in Florida.
Housers mother was born in Alabama
where some members of the tribe were
moved in 1887. The Chiricahuas were
eventually placed at Fort Sill,
Oklahoma, where they were ultimately
freed in 1914. Houser was born just
months after their release, the first
child of the group born out of captivity. In 1934, Houser was able to study
at the United States Indian School in
Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he
gained recognition for his paintings

depicting traditional Native American


life. In 1939, Houser began his professional career by showing work at the
New York Worlds Fair and the Golden
Gate International Exposition in San
Francisco. During World War II, Houser
worked in the Los Angeles shipyards
by day and painted and sculpted by
night, making friends at the Pasadena
Art Center where he was exposed to the
work
of
Modernist
sculptors
Constantin Brncui and Henry Moore.
FLUID LINES AND GRACEFUL
DIGNITY. Phoenician Concierge
Jacque Payne, who leads individual and
group tours of The Phoenician Art
Collection, said: Through the years,
the focus of Housers art work shifted
from drawing and painting to sculpture. In later life he worked primarily
in limestone, marble or bronze, where
the fluid lines and graceful dignity of
his figures give his work an unmistakable quality that reflects the ideals of
the people he portrays. Housers
work can also be found at the
Smithsonian Museum of American Art,
the National Museum of the American
Indian, and the National Portrait
Gallery in Washington, D.C. Houser,
who was awarded the National Medal of
Arts in 1992 by then-President George
H. W. Bush, was the first Native
American to receive this countrys
highest art award. Houser died on Aug.
22, 1994.

well as from some of the nations top
galleries, such as Glenn Green
Galleries of Scottsdale. Concierge
Payne said: The works in The
Phoenicians art collection were
selected for their individual character
and are representative of the era in
which each was created. These art
pieces include the works of Josef
Bakos, an early modernist painter
whose main interest was landscapes;
Flemish painter David Vinckboons,
known primarily for his skill as an oil
painter, and proclaimed one of the
greatest painters in Amsterdam; Sven
Birger Sandezen who established a reputation as an Impressionist landscape
painter of the Rocky Mountain region;
and a work entitled Ferriccio
Ferrazzi, painted by Cavello, purchased from the Mosaic School of Art
of the Vatican City. Chinese porcelain
vases, Chippendale mirrors, a Dhurrie
area rug and two Louis XVI Commodes
were all purchased from the John
Connally estate.

the Broads, Bootleggers and Bookies

world of local baseball. By design, the


exhibit is set to open as the start of the
Major League Baseball season nears. It is
scheduled to run through next year, concluding in September 2016 near the end of next
baseball season.
And there are plenty of layers of baseball
history contained within the walls of the
intimate gallery to entertain and educate for
the exhibits 17-month run.
It speaks to the history of baseball on
the Peninsula since way, way back, Postel
said. I dont think that a lot of people
know that at one time or another, there were
more than 100 semipro teams that existed
on the Peninsula. Even after Major League
Baseball (arrived), the Seals were here, there
was still the San Mateo Blues, the
Burlingame Browns and other teams. Even
into the 1960s and even today, there is a
new semipro team in Menlo Park.
The exhibit contains a separate wing for
semipro teams, including a life-size mockup of a dugout inspired by San Mateos
Fitzgerald Field, where the San Mateo Blues
played for more than 50 years until disbanding in 1978.
Upon entering the baseball wonderland,
however, the first display is the earliest in
the chronology of the exhibit photos,
paraphernalia and even videos of a 1915
game between the San Mateo Married Men

and the Santa Clara University baseball


team.
As the exhibit winds the wall of the
gallery counterclockwise, as one would run
the bases in the game of baseball, the memorabilia traces decade by decade into the current day.
The majority of memorabilia is comprised
of portions of private collections from San
Mateo County-based baseball aficionados,
including Keith Hernandezs brother Gary
Hernandez; Hank Sauer Jr., son of former
Chicago Cubs great and Burlingame native
Hank Sauer; former minor leaguer and
Carlmont graduate David Turnbull; former
minor leaguer and current Carlmont High
School softball head coach Jim Liggett; as
well as organizations from the Menlo Park
Legends to the San Francisco Giants.
There are insights into the great 1964
Pacifica Little League champion Linda Mar
Realty Little League team, for which the
Hernandez brothers played. Next to it is a
San Carlos Little League display honoring
the 1961 Joe DiMaggio World Series champions.
Liggetts corner of the showroom is perhaps the nearest and dearest to Neitzels
heart. The corner adjoining the entryway to
the semipro wing and the life-size dugout,
constructed by Neitzels husband. Liggetts
collection contains the only photo of a

woman on display at the exhibit; its a larger-than-life photo of Liggett and his wife
Charlene taken at spring training in 1961
while he was a prospect in the Baltimore
Orioles organization.
I love that I could finally get a woman in
here, Neitzel said. Were going to have
slides with women including some of
Liggetts softball teams. There will be a
few women interspersed, but its mostly a
guy thing. Its just such an adorable picture
I just had to put it in.
Liggett attested to the time and effort
Neitzel dedicated to arranging the Lets
Play Ball exhibit.
She spent a lot of time putting that on,
Liggett said. She met with me two or three
times and met with a few of my friends.
Im expecting a well-organized exhibit
focusing on a lot of different elements of the
time period of our county.
Liggett will be one of the many in attendance for Saturdays ribbon-cutting ceremony, taking place at 1 p.m. at the San Mateo
County History Museum located at 2200
Broadway. Admission is $6 for adults, $4

vation easements, she added.


County parks is a great partner of POST,
Thurlow said. POST, as a private nonprofit,
can act confidentially with landowners and
can be flexible in a way that public agencies
cannot. So we work with our public agency
partners to identify properties theyre interested in then we negotiate with the landowners directly. It serves both organizations
really well.
Although the site has unofficial trails currently frequented by the public, Thurlow said,
POST plans to assist the county in extending
the coastal trail and transfer the property
later this year.
We are so lucky for our ongoing partnership with POST to acquire parklands in San

Mateo County, parks Director Marlene


Finley said in a press release. I look forward
to taking this to the Board of Supervisors to
consider adding to county parks stewardship
at Pillar Point bluff, welcoming the public to
more access and exploration.
POSTs preservation of the area has helped
deter development over the years, Thurlow
said. The recently acquired site was sought
after for construction about 20 to 30 years
ago and less than 10 years ago houses were
proposed just south on the bluffs, Thurlow
said.
The purchase aimed at supporting habitat
and facilitating public access was supported
by funding from the Coastal Conservancy
and a grant through the Living Landscape

Initiative Challenge Grant Program of


Resources Legacy Fund, which is funded by
the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation,
according to POST.
Thurlow said it took nearly a decade to buy
the property as it was formerly tied up in an
inheritance settlement. Now, Thurlow said
POST is thrilled to have secured up a link that
provides vital habitat and recreation.
This was kind of the missing piece in the
puzzle because its between two other pieces.
So now its a contiguous area of protected
land that will have official trails, Thurlow
said. Itll be great to have it be part of the
county parks ownership. Also, well work
with county parks to improve the trail system.

Former rap mogul collapses


in court after bail hearing
By Anthony McCartney
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Former rap music mogul


Marion Suge Knight collapsed in a courtroom Friday shortly after a judge ordered
him held on $25 million bail in a murder
case.
Bailiffs cleared the courtroom, paramedics
arrived with a stretcher a few minutes later
and an ambulance was seen leaving the
courthouse.
Defense attorney Matthew Fletcher said
Knight was unconscious when the lawyer
left the courtroom and an update on his condition was not immediately available.
Fletcher said his client, who is diabetic
and has a blood clot, previously told him

DESIGN
Continued from page 3
two stories, located at the same location as
the current 25,000-square-foot structure,
which abuts Washington Park.
Officials have been working since 2013
to develop plans for a new facility, because
the current recreation center is not seismically sound, and cannot offer many of the
services that the new facility is slated to
provide.
The new community center would maintain the current level of programs offered,
plus potentially add new features such as a
community hall with a raised platform,
classrooms to house kids and teens activities, a workshop, a dance and stretch studio
as well as a fitness and wellness center.
The Parks and Recreation Commission
session was the initial meeting in a series of
opportunities for residents to express their
opinion to architects and officials regarding
the proposed layouts.
This is very early in the design process,
said Dawn Merkes, a representative from
Group 4 Architecture. It is the first opportunity for you to give us some feedback.
The next chance for the community to
express their opinion on design will be during the community open house, held
Saturday, March 21, from 10 a.m. until 2
p.m. at Washington Park.
City representatives will also be present
from 9 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. at a community
kiosk during the Burlingame farmers market Sunday, March 22.
Building the project, which is expected to
cost between $30 million and $32 million,
is currently unfunded, according to a city
report. City officials have said that a bond
measure would likely be necessary to
finance the construction cost.
Later at the meeting, the Parks and

that he hadnt received


any medication since
Thursday.
Knight hit his head on
a chair when he fell after
the bail hearing, Fletcher
said.
The 6-foot-4-inch tall
Knight collapsed while
Suge Knight deputies were bringing
him back into the courtroom after Fletcher asked a judge to order
that Knight be given his medication.
The attorney said Knight was being kept
in solitary confinement in jail without
proper access to medication.
Hes being treated worse than Charles
Manson, Fletcher said.
Recreation Commission unanimously
agreed to recommend extending a pilot program establishing off-leash dog runs at
Cuernavaca and Washington parks for
another year, and increasing the hours.
The program allows owners to let their
dogs run off their leash outside of peak
usage hours at the park, from 7:30 a.m. until
2 p. m. from Monday through Friday
between September and May.
The commission also recommended the
programs hours be extended to start at 6
a.m. at Washington and Cuernavaca parks,
to keep in line with the citys dog park near
the Bayshore. Dogs are allowed to roam off
leash in the ball fields at Washington and
Cuernavaca parks.
Under the commissions approval, the
recommendation will come to City Council
for final approval in April to extend the program.
Recreation Supervisor Nicole Acquisti
said the city has received limited complaints about issues with off-leash dogs and
most of the feedback has been positive, and
many users have requested the hours be
extended.
She said in the cases in which the parks
requires oversight, such as cleaning up after
the dogs or intervening during confrontations, she said dog owners have done a good
job of policing themselves.
Some residents expressed concerns
regarding disorderly dogs or unresponsive
owners, to which commissioner Steven
Baum suggested increasing the occasional
police presence to write tickets for those
who violate park rules.
Ultimately though, Acquisti said the offleash dog areas have been popular, and supported the commissions decision to recommend extending the pilot program.
Its been really positive for the past
year, she said.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

LESLIE
Continued from page 1
after a nationwide search, said the foundation is in the process of deciding the strategy to allocate the $68.75 million for the
long-term benefit of San Bruno. Pacific Gas
& Electric gave the money following the
gas pipeline explosion in the city that
killed eight and injured 66.
Hatamiya will work with a seven-member
board to guide allocation of the fund. The
board includes President Nancy A. Kraus,
Vice President John P. McGlothlin,
Secretary Emily Roberts, Treasurer Ben
Cohn, Patricia Bohm, Frank Hedley and
Regina Stanback Stroud. The boards last
meeting was March 19.
She said the foundation is preparing to
make strategic decisions such as electing
to spend large sums of money on capital
improvement projects, or running the
fund as an endowment, and spending a
small percent annually to offer the community ongoing social services such a

orities and accomplishments on key projects over the last year while discussing
future needs.
After prioritizing several major projects
last year, the study session served as a
chance to reaffirm the citys efforts, said

child or health care.


One of the great things about this is the
overall, unrestricted nature of the fund, she
said.
The foundation will begin engaging in
community outreach to discover the will of
residents regarding how the fund should be
spent.
We want to hear the voices throughout
the community, not just the loudest, she
said.
The foundation will spend the summer
developing strategies for the fund, and
plans to come to the City Council in the fall
for approval.
Hatamiya, a San Bruno resident, said she
appreciates the chance to do something
positive for the city that suffered such a
tremendous loss.
Im both excited and honored to take on
this responsibility, she said. I think San
Bruno has a remarkable opportunity to do
something significant and beneficial to the
community, she said.
She said she was cooking dinner when the
explosion occurred about a mile from her
house, but was unaware it happened until a

friend who had heard the news called and


notified her.
It was scary because at that point no one
knew what was going on, she said. You
didnt really know what was happening.
She said she is proud to serve as director
of the foundation that can honor the lives
lost and forever altered from the explosion.
It was a horrible thing that happened
but, for our community, this is a way to turn
around and say look at all the great things
that come from this tragedy that we had to
live through, she said.
Hatamiya led the California State Bar
Foundation for seven years, which she felt
prepared her for directing the San Bruno
community fund, because it gave her extensive experience running a charitable organization.
She has also held positions at Stanford
University, Yale University, with the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, and in
former U.S. senator Bill Bradleys Capitol
Hill office.
She also served as a longtime Stanford
University volunteer, including service on
the universitys Board of Trustees, the

Alumni Associations Board of Directors


and the National Advisory Board of the Haas
Center for Public Service.
Since moving to San Bruno in 2003,
Hatamiya has been involved with the PTA,
volunteered for San Bruno Pee Wee Baseball
and was a past AYSO soccer coach
Due in part to the guidance driven by her
roots in the community, she said the foundation understands the influence of its role
in allocating the funds to serve San Bruno.
We are stewards of a significant amount
of money to benefit the entire community,
and the board is taking that charge very seriously. We want to be very thoughtful and
deliberate, she said. It would be easy to
hand it out to everyone who asks for money.
But we are deciding what makes the most
sense, and then putting together a strategy
to
execute
that
plan.
The fund that the foundation controls is distinct and separate from the $50 million trust
agreement to specifically benefit the
Crestmoor neighborhood.

Vice Mayor Eric Reed.


I left the meeting thinking what we started last year was setting us off on the right
track. And this year, theres not a need to
make radical changes to the direction were
headed. Were on the right course, Reed
said.
The city has made significant progress on
the Ralston Avenue Corridor Study, which
seeks to address multi-modal traffic concerns by making recommendations for
infrastructure improvements on the citys

main east-to-west artery. It has also proceeded with several key planning documents such as the Belmont Village Zone
that aims to promote a centralized downtown by allowing for more housing and
businesses, as well as initiating amendments to the citys home remodel rules that
are currently being considered by the
Planning Commission.
Much of what the council identifies as priorities end up being long-term projects,
such as its current efforts to update the citys
General Plan, said Councilman Warren
Lieberman.
This is mostly about identifying what
policies we want to pursue and various initiatives over time that will help us get
there. So these initiatives tend to be longer
than a year. Just the General Plan, that probably weve been working on that over the
last 10 or 12 years, but over the last year or
two we really put together a definitive plan,
we put more resources to it, Lieberman
said.
An update to Belmonts General Plan,
which serves as a comprehensive policy and
zoning document to guide future development in the city through 2035, is in the
works with the City Council and Planning
Commission holding a joint study session
Tuesday, March 24.
The city has challenges ahead, particularly as it seeks to fund critical improvements
to streets, sewers and recreational amenities
such as parks. City officials are pleased the
attention to developing Davey Glen Park, a
nearly 1-acre site in the Cipriani neighborhood thats been in the works since 2009, is
paying off. However, the council hesitantly
acknowledged forming a long-term plan for
the Barrett Community Center may need to
be put on the back burner as the city has
limited resources.
Several councilmembers had new ideas
they suggested the city consider pursuing
over the coming year.
Councilman Charles Stone is interested in
having Belmont consider means to promote

workforce housing, particularly for teachers, by potentially partnering with other


entities to build on properties purchased
with former redevelopment agency funds.
Stone also suggested the city amend its
smoking ordinance to include the increasingly popular electronic cigarettes.
Lieberman said he wants officials to
address Airbnb rentals in Belmont arguing
with the new sharing economy initiatives,
I can begin to see in the future that some of
these initiatives might have a real significant impact on our neighborhoods. So I just
wanted to get a little bit ahead of the curve
in understanding how we might control that
so it doesnt create such an upheaval.
Lieberman also suggested the city consider a possible ordinance to address massage
parlors, work that San Mateo County officials have recently began.
As the state continues to suffer from a
fourth year of drought, Reed suggested the
city consider following in the footsteps of
the Portola Valley by creating a volunteerbased committee dedicated to water conservation.
Reed said hed like to see a panel of residents who can help other residents with
ideas [on] how to save water. What are the
kinds of things we can do? When you get
residents involved in providing solutions,
you get some fantastic ideas, Reed said.
Overall, Reed and Lieberman agreed the
takeaway from Wednesdays meeting is that
Belmont is headed in a positive direction.
If [the priority setting session is] like
repairing a car, we would have done the
major overhaul last year, Reed said. And
this year was an exercise in have we made
progress and what more do we need to do to
keep that momentum going?
