County limited when tackling housing crisis

San Mateo County Board of Supervisors purview remains in unincorporated areas
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

High demand and low supply is

fueling an unprecedented housing
crisis in the county that the San
Mateo
County
Board
of
Supervisors will discuss Tuesday.
County officials caution, however, that any effort to stabilize

escalating rents will only apply to

unincorporated areas in the county
and a very narrow pool of residences.

He is referring to the conversation the county has started about
rent stabilization and then the 20
cities in the county that control
their own destinies.
The area is producing jobs at an
incredible rate, he said, and hous-

ing production cannot keep up

with the growth.
We are at the center of a unique
situation where Silicon Valley can

An owner with a 30-year fixed
mortgage and Proposition 13 protections essentially has rent con-

trols in place that others do not,

he said.
Technology companies are paying big money on their research
and development workers and
exporting the manufacturing jobs
to achieve savings, he said.

Hard work underway to prepare show that opens Wednesday

As the cost of living disparity

deepens among varying parts of
the country, two Bay Area congressional representatives are seeking
to ensure people who may be
struggling to live in Silicon
Valley benefit from the intent of
the Affordable Care Act.
This month U.S. representatives
Anna Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, and
Mike Thompson, D-Napa, reintroduced the Fair Access to Health
Care Act, which would expand tax
credit eligibility for people living

San Mateo County Sheriff Greg

Munks is proposing that old duty
firearms no longer needed by the
department be sold to deputies,
according to a report the Board of
Supervisors will consider Tuesday.
Currently, county law forbids
the practice and only allows for

Munks brought essentially the
same ordinance to the board in
September 2013 when it was
requested by supervisors that
changes be made to the ordinance.
In Munks first proposal, he
suggested deputies have first crack

MUNCIE, Ind. A restroom at a

Wal-Mart in eastern Indiana has been
closed indefinitely after an employee
discovered a working meth lab inside.
State police say a Wal-Mart employee alerted police after seeing a man he
described as suspicious enter the restroom about 11:30 p.m. Thursday with
a backpack and leave without it. The
Star Press reports that members of a
state police meth suppression team
removed the dangerous chemicals.
Delaware County Health Department
inspectors closed the restroom and a
nearby womens restroom until they
could be decontaminated by a professional cleaning company.
State police say people who make
methamphetamine are leaving the
deadly explosive chemicals in public
places to return later to get the finished
product, rather than risk explosions
and contamination at their own homes.

woman stepped into the shower this

week to help ease the discomfort of
stomach pains. She emerged holding a
newborn.
Brittany Young, 24, told the Des
Moines Register that she knew she was
pregnant and had recurring stomach
pains on Wednesday. Turns out, Young
may have misunderstood a hospital
worker in December. Instead of being
12 weeks pregnant then as Young
believed, she had 12 weeks left.
I got in the shower, not even five
minutes after that, I was like, my stomach is still hurting. Not even five seconds (later), I had to push, Young said.
Soon after, her daughter, Miracle,
arrived, weighing 6 pounds, 8 ounces.
This babys eyes were open; she
was just sitting there staring at me,
Young said. She didnt cry or anything. I was in shock. I was like,
theres a baby here.
Dr. Michael Cardwell at Mercy
Medical Center said women with a medical condition called precipitous labor
means contractions can start a couple
hours before delivery. Cardwell didnt
personally treat Young, who has had
three other children, but said that
women who are already mothers can go
into labor quickly.
After Miracle arrived, Young asked
her friend in the living room to call an
ambulance. The police report says
authorities found Youngs friend holding the child and Young was in the
shower.

Councilwoman prepared to serve high school district

Laura Martinez will leave her position in East Palo Alto city government to serve Sequoia
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

When East Palo Alto Councilwoman Laura

Martinez is formally introduced as a member
of the Sequoia Union High School District
Board of Trustees this week, it will continue
a career of milestones in public service
established at a remarkable pace.
The 30-year-old East Palo Alto native will
be sworn onto the high school district
Board of Trustees Wednesday, March 18, following unanimous approval of her appointment last week.
Martinez will resign from her position on
the East Palo Alto City Council, in advance
of the high school district meeting, as she
will take the position of trustee Olivia

Martinez, who retired

from the school board.
Laura Martinez joined
the East Palo Alto City
Council at 24 years old,
has served as the citys
mayor, and is now set to
the be the first East Palo
Alto resident on the high
Laura Martinez school district Board of
Trustees in roughly 20
years, she said.
Her extensive public service resume, combined with a background of being native to
the area, will serve her well as a board member, she said.
I know the community, and I have the
experience to know what it takes to con-

tribute, she said.

Sequoia Union High School District
Superintendent James Lianides said in an
email he looks forward to working with
Martinez, considering the extensive knowledge of public service she brings to the district.
I am looking forward to working with
Laura as part of the district governance
team, he said. She will bring the perspective to the board of her experience as a councilmember and lifelong resident of one of
our underserved communities.
Martinez graduated from Palo Alto High
School and now works at the Aspire East

In seeking to provide high school students with extracurricular opportunities to

develop leadership experience and build
confidence, the Speak and Lead With Pride
Program will culminate this week as four
high school freshmen put their new skills
to the test during an annual speech competition.
On Wednesday night, the Organization of

speech competition during which the students will take on this years topic:
Immigration in the United States.
The six-week program attracted 15 students from various San Mateo County high
schools to learn from established local leaders about the art of public speaking.
Our philosophy is basically based on the
fact that the only way to learn public speaking and leadership skills is by doing, said
Dr. David Chai, chair of the program.
Typically, people are not familiar or

Man arrested for

allegedly beating mother

Gov. Jerry Brown announced his proposal in January to negotiate with state workers to start
chipping in half of the cost to bring down that liability. Brown wants new employees to work
longer in order to qualify for full retiree health benefits.

Analyst warns Gov. Jerry Browns

retiree health plan could cost more
By Judy Lin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Browns call

for state workers to contribute half the cost
of their retirement health benefits could end
up costing taxpayers more if California raises salaries, according to an independent
budget analyst Monday.
Legislative Analyst Mac Taylor wrote in
his report that the state could end up paying
more over time if current and future state
workers are asked to help pay for their health
benefits.
He warned that when the state began requiring higher pension contributions from
employees in 2013 it ended up offsetting the
cost to employees with pay increases.
Taylor is urging lawmakers to get engaged
and suggests swapping out the benefit for

Young adults want news

every day, survey shows
CHICAGO Young adults have a reputation for being connected to one another and
disconnected from the news. But a survey
has found that mobile devices and social
networking are keeping them more engaged
with the broader world than previously
thought.
They want news, they say, though they

alternative compensation, such as higher pay.

If the state provided a dollar-for-dollar offset to all employees or even a 75 centson-the dollar offset the states costs for
retiree health prefunding and increases in pay
and salary-driven benefits would be more
than total retiree health normal costs, the
analyst wrote.
California faces an estimated $72 billion
unfunded liability one of the biggest in
the nation for more than 800,000 state
employees and their families to provide
health coverage once workers retire from
civil service and for those who have already
retired.
The benefit, which has been phasing out of
the private sector but remains a recruitment
tool for government workers, has grown
increasingly burdensome to taxpayers. State
costs have quadrupled since 2001.

A 21-year-old Foster City man was arrested

Thursday for allegedly banging his mothers
head on the floor several times following an
argument over a messy house, according to
the San Mateo County District Attorneys
Office.
Noah Goldman-Hull, who lives with his
parents on Decatur Street, allegedly has an
ongoing drug problem, has been in custody
before and his parents were about to ask him
to move out before Thursdays incident,
according to prosecutors.
When his mother came home Thursday, her
son was allegedly in her bed half naked and
the house was a mess. When she asked him to
clean up, he allegedly started smashing furniture before assaulting her, according to prosecutors. When she tried to leave the home, he
wouldnt let her and he simulated a gun in his
hand and put his fingers in her mouth making
threatening gestures, according to prosecutors.
His mother then bit his finger and he
allegedly bit her back in the cheek. When his
69-year-old father returned home, he chased
his son out of the home and struggled with
him in the street until officers arrived, according to prosecutors.
He faces a slew of felony charges including
assault, battery causing great bodily injury,
criminal threats, false imprisonment and
elder abuse. He is also being charged with a
misdemeanor for violating a restraining
order, according to prosecutors.
Goldman-Hull pleaded not guilty to the
charges and remains in jail on a $100,000
bail. He returns to court March 26.

Sierra-at-Tahoe suspends
skiing as drought takes toll
RENO, Nev. A ski resort south of Lake Tahoe has suspended its winter operations due to a lack of snow and could
end up closing the rest of the season for the earliest time in
about 40 years. Sierra-at-Tahoe spokesman Thea Hardy says
theres usually enough snow cover to remain open well into
April at the resort just south of U.S. Highway.
Snowpack throughout the Sierra is at or near historic lows
as unseasonably warm temperatures have been the norm
much of the winter.

Flawed Social Security data

say 6.5M in U.S. reach age 112
By Stephen Ohlemacher
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Senate Budget Committee Chairman Mike Enzi plans to produce blueprints that would balance the budget
within 10 years without raising taxes with the help of House Budget Committee Chairman Tom Price.

GOP to offer budget blueprint

with Medicare, food stamp cuts
By Andrew Taylor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Republicans
now in charge of Congress offer
their budget blueprint this week
with a pledge to balance the nations
budget within a decade and rein in
major programs such as food stamps
and Medicare.
More pressing for many
Republicans, however, is easing
automatic budget cuts set to slam the
military. Not only that, a GOP
divide is pitting defense hawks
against budget hawks is threatening
the partys ability to advance the
measure.
The chairmen of the House and
Senate Budget panels plan to release
their budget plans this week the
House on Tuesday and the Senate on

Wednesday. The nonbinding measure called a budget resolution sets

broad parameters on taxes and
spending; it requires follow-up legislation later this year to implement
its balanced-budget goals, and
Republicans are unlikely to take on
that task as long as President Barack
Obama occupies the Oval Office.
House
Budget
Committee
Chairman Tom Price, R-Ga., and
Senate Budget Committee Chairman
Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., plan to produce
blueprints that would balance the
budget within 10 years without
raising taxes.
Instead, they will propose major
spending cuts to programs such as
Medicare, health care subsidies,
food stamps and the Medicaid program for the poor and elderly to produce a budget thats balanced. Such

cuts, if actually implemented later,

would likely slash spending by $5
trillion or so over the coming
decade from budgets that are presently on track to spend almost $50 trillion over that timeframe.
To the dismay of defense hawks,
however, they cant really use
Congress arcane budget process to
repeal automatic Pentagon cuts that
will strip $54 billion from core
Pentagon programs based on limits
set under a hard-fought 2011 budget
deal. Nor can they match Obamas
proposal to add $38 billion to the
Pentagons budget next year without
exposing the entire budget to a parliamentary challenge by Democrats.
That has deficit and defense hawks
like Senate Armed Services
Committee
Chairman
John
McCain, R-Ariz., fuming.

getting older, but not this old:
Social Security records show that

In reality, only few could possibly be alive. As of last fall, there
were only 42 people known to be
that old in the entire world.
But Social Security does not

these people, with the oldest born
in 1869, according to a report by

Official: Iran confronts

U.S. at nuke talks over
open letter from GOP
By Bradley Klapper
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAUSANNE, Switzerland
Iranian diplomats twice confronted their American counterparts
about an open letter from
Republican senators who warned
that any nuclear deal could expire
the day President Barack Obama
leaves office, a senior U.S. official said Monday.
The official, noting the administrations warnings when the letter first surfaced, said the GOP
intervention was a new issue in
the tense negotiations facing an
end-of-month deadline for a
framework agreement.
The letter came up in nuclear
talks Sunday between senior U.S.
and Iranian negotiators, the official said, and the Iranians raised it
again in discussions Monday led
by Secretary of State John Kerry
and Iranian Foreign Minister
Mohammad Javad Zarif.
Zarif was quoted by Iranian state
media after the meeting as saying
the topics included the potential
speed of a softening of U.S. eco-

nomic sanctions and the new

issue of the letter from the senators. It is necessary that the
stance of the U.S. administration
be defined about this move, he
was quoted as saying.
Kerry and Zarif met for nearly
five hours in Lausanne, the start
of several planned days of discussions. Most of the Iranians then
departed for Brussels, where they
were to meet with European negotiators.
In Brussels, EU foreign policy
chief Federica Mogherini said that
we are entering a crucial time, a
crucial two weeks. And German
Foreign Minister Frank-Walter
Steinmeier said that after more
than 10 years of negotiations, we
should seize this opportunity.
There are areas where weve
made progress, areas where we
have yet to make any progress,
British Foreign Secretary Philip
Hammond said. But the fact that
were all here talking shows the
commitment on both sides to try
to reach an agreement.
In Lausanne, the U.S. official
wouldnt say how much time the
sides spent talking about the let-

ter drafted seven days ago by
freshman Sen. Tom Cotton of
Arkansas and signed by 46 other
GOP senators. The Iranians have
called the letter a propaganda
ploy, and Zarif joked last week
that some U.S. legislators didnt
understand
their
own
Constitution. The Obama administration has called the letter ill
timed and ill advised, coming
weeks before the deadline for a
preliminary agreement with Iran
on its nuclear program.

Putin reappears after 10-day absence

By Irina Titova
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia

Looking fit and joking about all
the fuss over his unexplained 10day absence from public view,
President Vladimir Putin reappeared on Monday to quell the
swirling speculation about the
state of his health and his hold on
power.
It would be dull without gossip, Putin said with a smile during
a meeting with Kyrgyzstans president, Almazbek Atambayev, at St.
Petersburgs ornate Konstantin
Palace.
Atambayev had just said that he
wanted to put an end to the
unpleasant gossip, describing how

Putin had driven

him around the
palaces park
and thus not
only walks, but
speeds around.
B e f o r e
Mo n day s
ap p earan ce,
Putin was last
Vladimir Putin seen in public
on March 5,
when he hosted Italian Prime
Minister Matteo Renzi. The
Kremlin insisted that he continued
to hold official meetings and
released photos and video of the
meetings that were shown on
national television, but Russian
media suggested the images had
actually been shot much earlier.

Putins decision to abruptly

postpone a trip to Kazakhstan
planned for last week fueled speculation that he was unwell or isolated by a palace coup. A Swiss newspaper claimed that Putin had traveled to Switzerland, where it said
his supposed girlfriend former
Olympic gold-winning rhythmic
gymnast Alina Kabayeva had
given birth to their baby. The
Kremlin has denied all of these
claims.
Putins spokesman, Dmitry
Peskov, acerbically mocked the
speculation when speaking to
reporters: So, have you seen the
president paralyzed and seized by
the generals? He has just come
back from Switzerland, where he
attended the delivery.

Cotton isnt backing down. In

his maiden speech in the Senate,
Cotton reiterated his view that the
deal being discussed would pave
Irans path to a nuclear bomb.
Iran is an outlaw regime. ...
Unsurprising, Iran is only growing bolder and more aggressive as
America retreats from the Middle
East, Cotton said, adding that
Iranian leaders continue to call for
Israels elimination and that Iran
is meddling in other nations,
including Syria and Iraq.

Pay teachers
what they are worth
Editor,
Normally, I am so tight that folks
ask me if I need a squirt of 3 in 1 oil to
stop the squeaking, and that is why I
left the proigate Democratic Party.
That being said, I believe the San
Bruno Park Elementary School District
teachers are getting a raw deal, being
asked to take a pay cut after years of
no raises. To add insult to injury, class
sizes are also being increased to the
maximum allowed. A recent story,
San Bruno sees revenue rebound in
the Feb. 9, 2015, edition of the Daily
Journal suggested that San Brunos tax
revenues are nally looking up in this
humming economy. Some may point
out, those are different monies.
Yeah, like the crucial education of the
next generation doesnt warrant some
disbursement of that wealth in a sorely
needed area. Find the money to pay
these professionals what they are
worth, and dont shortchange our
future taxpaying citizens with a second-rate education.

The witch hunt

Editor,
The archbishop of San Francisco,
Salvatore Cordileone, has the Godgiven right to demand teachers to lead
their public and professional lives
consistently with church teachings on
homosexuality, same-sex marriage,
birth control and other behaviors he
describes as evil.
So, why are the state lawmakers and
now the city supervisors of San
Francisco interfering and infringing
on moral issues that belong to the
Catholic church alone? Why are they
using secular terms and reasons for the
church to change their God-given principles in the name of tolerance?
Now, the state lawmakers are asking
for a probe of the working conditions
at the schools that are not needed. The
San Francisco Board of Supervisors
has joined this witch hunt and passed a
resolution, asking the bishop to
respect the rights of the teachers and
administrators. What about the separation of church and state? Is that still
law?
The current mission of the schools
in San Francisco has been used to
undermine the Catholic education by
implementing un-Catholic principles
of inclusiveness, diverseness and tolerance against the true Catholic teachings.
The archbishop is just trying to
reeducate the teachers and the administrators of the true teachings of what
the church has always held and taught
throughout the centuries.
Lastly, if the teachers and administrators cannot accept the morality
clauses of Archbishop Cordileones
handbook, I advise them to nd

Sending the food

industry a message
Editor,
Regarding the article, McDonalds
dropping human antibiotics from
chicken in the March 4 edition of the
Daily Journal, I was gladly surprised to
hear how this fast food giant is planning to start using chickens raised
without medically-important antibiotics. Last month, Nestle announced
removing articial colors and avors
from all of its chocolate candy products. Is the shift in both companies
born out of a public health concern? I
think not. It is the power within us,
consumers, who can send the food
industry a message. However, these
actions must extend beyond individual
choices to larger political realms if we
want to make a more signicant difference. Lets not forget that we are constituents too. Two days ago, the
Preventing Antibiotic Resistance Act
(S. 621) was introduced in the Senate.
This bill aims to help reduce the overuse of human antibiotics on livestock
which in turn helps reduce the development of antibiotic-resistance bacteria,
a serious public health threat. I urge
others to write their legislatures in
support of this bill.

The 47 fools
Editor,
The 47 fools: thats about all I can
call those bozos who want to destroy
sensitive negotiations still underway
with Iran. This just after the appearance of a foreign leader (professional
right-wing loud mouth whose name
you may guess) at a joint session of
Congress who appeared to suggest
similar thoughts about negotiating
with Iran. Contacting a foreign government to sabotage ongoing talks
which may yield an agreement that can
only be guessed at can only be considered immensely stupid, oh and a pretty
good denition of treasonous. Sad that
truth tellers like John Kiriakou do time
for telling us the truth about what our
government is doing illegally, and
Edward Snowden is a wanted guy for
similar actions. Maybe some one-way
tickets to that foreign land apparently
being so well served by our 47 fools
would be better than a prison sentence.

School choice lacking in

our education system

t was not until I reached my sophomore year in high

school that I was able to attend private school,
thanks only to my parents hard work and commitment to my educational achievement. Unlike the public
schools I attended for most of my life, this private school
required all students to wear a blazer and tie, arrive early
for every class and demonstrate qualities of leadership at
every opportunity. The school provided a number of class
choices and extracurricular opportunities that were nonexistent at public school. Beyond the traditional math,
English and science curriculum, I acquired a rich knowledge of the arts, world history and developed critical
thinking and reasoning skills all values that I still
embody today.
If I asked you to identify what
the number one goal of education should be, I suspect that
your answer would be tailored to
something of, the educational
advancement of students
through rigorous scholastic
standards that promote success
in a variety of career facets.
Or, you might borrow a denition coined by the Rev. Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr., who
said that intelligence plus
Jonathan Madison
character that is the goal of
true education.
Regardless of what you think the goal of education
boils down to, my guess is that the vast majority of us
believe that education should provide a curriculum tailored
to enable students to achieve scholastic achievement and,
in the process, discover, practice and harness their multidisciplinary talents and interests by which they can contribute to their careers. Many believe this is what Dr.
Martin Luther King meant when he referenced character
the opportunity for students to develop a diverse set of
values and skill sets that will last a lifetime. Ample access
to school choice is a key requirement in that goal.
If only more of our California legislators felt the same.
The 2015 annual report by the Brown Center on Education
Policy at the Brookings Institution grades over 100 of the
nations largest school districts on the extent to which
each school district enables parents to have easily accessible and widely available access to publicly funded
school choices. Its ndings suggest that California may
be having a Groundhog Day in Education. The report
suggests that year after year, California school districts
have failed to offer parents of the 6 million school children adequate school choice options.
Contrary to the claim that traditional public schools
best serve communities at every socioeconomic level, the
Brookings report shows that alternatives to traditional
public schools private schools and charter schools
often drive policies that strengthen greater access to quality education for the wealthiest and socioeconomically
deprived communities. Unfortunately, California is slowly seeing a decline in private school enrollment and very
little growth in the number of charter schools. At the
same time, a number of failing schools continue to
receive government funding.
You may be surprised to know that San Mateo County is
home to Californias rst charter school the San Carlos
Charter Learning Center. The San Carlos Charter Leaning
Center is just one of many successful charter schools in
San Mateo County.
The charter school model is paying dividends for lowerincome communities in and beyond our state. Take for
example Urban Prep Academies a predominantly
African-American charter high school located in the heart
of one of Chicagos crime-plagued communities. For nearly a decade, the school has produced a 100 percent graduation and college acceptance rate for each of its students.
Thats right. A school in one of the highest crime-infested
communities in the country has a higher graduation and
college acceptance rate than nearly any other school in
the wealthier parts of the country. Through the schools
emphasis on scrupulous leadership values, the black institution dees the odds of a country where 40 percent of
blacks live in poverty, and only half will graduate from
high school.
Let us not forget that our state and nation is comprised
of people of all nationalities, backgrounds and cultures.
We ought to proudly embrace our differences while encouraging all to strive for excellence. The charter school
model incentivizes such ideals. After all, these differences
are reected in our various ways of life, and should also be
reected in our education system providing ample
choices and opportunities for advancement in numerous
career elds.

NEW YORK U.S. stocks bounced

back on Monday after losing ground for
three weeks as the dollars rally against
the euro abated.
Elsewhere in financial markets, oil
closed at a six-year low, below $44 a
barrel, as supplies continue to outpace
demand. Treasurys gained after some
mixed reports on the economy.
The stock market has stumbled in
recent weeks as the dollar has surged
against the euro. The U.S. currency has
been rising on expectations that the
Federal Reserve will start to raise interest rates even as the European Central
Bank continues to provide stimulus to
that regions economy.
A stronger dollar is a problem for big
U.S. companies that rely on overseas
sales because it makes their goods more
expensive in foreign markets and
reduces the value of the profits they
bring back home to the U.S.
The dollar was weaker today, which
was helpful. said Quincy Krosby, a
market strategist at Prudential
Financial. Theres no doubt that the
stronger dollar has been impeding
sales.
The Standard & Poors 500 index rose
27.79 points, or 1.4 percent, to
2,081.19. It was the biggest gain for

the index in six weeks.

The Dow Jones industrial average
climbed 228.11 points, or 1.3 percent,
to 17,977.42. The Nasdaq composite
jumped 57.75 points, or 1.2 percent, to
4,929.51.
The focal point this week for
investors is the Feds two-day policy
meeting that starts on Tuesday. Many
investors and analysts expect the U.S.
central bank will signal in a statement
after the meeting that they are considering raising interest rates later this year.
The Fed has kept its benchmark lending
rate near zero for more than six years,
underpinning a strong rally in U.S.
stocks.
Investors will also be looking for
any comments Fed policymakers might
make on the impact to the economy of
the rapid surge in the dollar, Krosby
said.
Stocks rose broadly on Monday. Nine
of the 10 industry groups that make up
the S&P 500 index rose.
The market gained despite some
mixed reports on the economy.
U.S. industrial production edged up
slightly in February as a big surge by
utilities due to a cold winter offset a
third straight decline in factory output.
The Federal Reserve also reported that
industrial production rose 0.1 percent
in February following a 0.3 percent fall
in January.

McDonalds workers detail burns, job hazards

By Candice Choi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK McDonalds workers

in 19 cities have filed complaints over
burns from popping grease, a lack of
protective equipment and other workplace hazards, according to labor
organizers.
The complaints are the latest move
in an ongoing campaign to win pay of
$15 an hour and unionization for fastfood workers by publicly pressuring
McDonalds to come to the bargaining
table. The push is being spearheaded
by
the
Service
Employees
International Union and began more
than two years ago. Already, it has
included protests around the country
and lawsuits alleging workers werent
given their rightful pay.

The burns and other hazards were

detailed in complaints announced
Monday and filed with U. S.
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration in recent weeks.
Workers cite a persistent lack of
gloves for handling hot equipment and
say theyve been burned while cleaning grills that have to be kept on. One
worker says he was told by a manager
to, put mayonnaise on it, youll be
good.
The complaints also detail a lack of
training for handling hot fryers and
slipping on wet floors.
A representative for the Labor
Department, Laura McGinnis, confirmed the complaints were received by
OSHA but said the agency does not discuss ongoing investigations.

these complaints are part of a larger

Serra ready for a post battle in Nor Cal semis

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The Padres have seen tall opponents

before and plenty of them.
In West Catholic Athletic League play
this season, Serra ran into St. Francis 6-9
junior Peter Hewitt, Mittys 6-8 junior Ben
Kone and St. Ignatius 6-8 junior Will
Emery.
Serra head coach Chuck Rapp is hoping
the towering WCAL opponents will serve as

a primer for the next step on the Padres CIF

Northern California Open Division tournament journey.
Next up for No. 6 seeded Serra is No. 7
Modesto Christian. When the teams meet in
Tuesdays Nor Cal Open Division semifinal
at Morton Family Gymnasium at 7 p.m.,
Modesto Christian will send 6-9 junior
Robinson Idehen to center court to tip off
against Serras 6-4 center Trevor Brown.
The height mismatch is something to
which Rapp has grown accustomed.

Weve faced a lot of big teams and were

used to being the smaller team, Rapp said.
That should be a role were not unfamiliar
with.
Brown held his own just fine against the
height the WCAL had to offer. Amid the seasons All-WCAL list, with Kone named the
league MVP while Hewitt and Emery earned
second-team honors, Brown was one of two
Padres named to the WCAL first-team.
So, consider Brown up to the task.
The WCAL prepares you for the postsea-

son in almost all facets, Rapp said.

Youve got two games a week and almost
every game is tough and hard. If you dont
bring your A-game youll lose. So, that
really helps. I think the WCAL is really
suited for the rigors of playoff basketball.
With Serra upsetting No. 3 Moreau
Catholic-Hayward 79-51 last Friday at
Chabot College, Brown helped keep the
Mariners post in check as the Padres

NDBs Magnani girls loving life Prep baseball

Athletes of the Week

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The Magnani sisters havent ever had

much opportunity to play on the same team.
Outside a partial season with the Nor Cal
Blast three years ago and their once-upon-atime upstart days in the Belmont rec league,
Sofia and Bianca Magnani have spent more
time playing against one another throughout their respective softball careers.
Even this year, to start their first full varsity season together at Notre DameBelmont, the sister act quickly paired off
during tryouts with the freshman Bianca
Magnani stepping into the circle to face the
older Sofia Magnani at the bat.
Otherwise, the two are settling in nicely
to a Notre Dame-Belmont team that is on a
mission. After what Notre Dame viewed as
an early dismissal from the Central Coast
Section Division III bracket last season
the Tigers were eliminated in an 8-3 quarterfinal loss to Half Moon Bay the mostlyintact team that graduated just three seniors
is out to prove they are among the elite.
It was great, Notre Dame third-year head
coach Tara Van Meter said of playing in the
CCS tourney. But I dont think the girls
wanted to stop. It was an abrupt end. So, I
think they were excited to get started this year
because most of them are returning (players).
The Magnani girls have been at the forefront of the excitement, which culminated in
last weeks San Mateo Daily Journal
Athletes of the Week performances.
Through four victories to improve a current Tigers winning streak to six games, and
the teams overall record to 7-1, junior Sofia
Magnani pitched in three games. The righty
worked five innings to earn the win w
Saturday in an 8-1 victory over Live Oak
then tabbed two saves, while allowing just
one earned run over nine cumulative innings
of work. She also went 3 for 10 at the plate.
Shes having a standout year this year,
Van Meter said of the third-year varsity junior. Shes always been consistent, but this
year she has really found herself.
Bianca Magnani, quickly proving an exceptional defender at third base, went 5 for 12 at
the plate. With a deep pitching rotation that

elieve it or not, league baseball

play begins in earnest this week,
with a full slate of Peninsula
Athletic League action, as well as Serra
getting underway in West Catholic
Athletic League play.
One thing I think I can say for certain:
no one is going to run away with a PAL
Bay, PAL Ocean, PAL Lake or WCAL title
this season. Every league/division seems
to be balanced appropriately.
Of course Serra
will have its hands
full in the WCAL
and will be tested
right out of the box
the Padres open
league play on the
road against Mitty
Tuesday and follow
that with the home
opener against St.
Francis Friday. All
three will factor in
the WCAL race.
The PAL has a bit
of a new look this season as it incorporated the West Bay Athletic League into
the fold. The inclusion of Menlo School
and Sacred Heart Prep in the PAL Bay
should strengthen that division from top
to bottom. Anyone in the Bay can win
the title. Several teams are getting their
basketball players into baseball shape,
so SHP and Terra Nova could still be
ascending toward the end of the season.
The Ocean Division will have a lot more
depth which should keep it competitive
until the end of the season. Hillsdale,
which played in the Bay Division last season, is off to a good start this year. The
Knights already have a pair of league wins
under their collective belts as they swept
the season series from Woodside, 3-0 and
15-4. They followed that with a 9-3 win
over Bay Division squad Menlo-Atherton.

Warriors secure playoff berth, beat Lakers

By Antonio Gonzalez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND When the Golden State

Warriors made the playoffs two years ago,
then-coach Mark Jackson got teary eyed
just talking about the accomplishment and
owner Joe Lacob offered handshakes and
hugs to players in a celebratory locker
room.
Now the Warriors have their sights set so
high they barely even recognize the feat.
Klay Thompson scored 26 points,
Stephen Curry had 19 points and nine

assists and the Warriors secured a playoff

spot before beating the depleted Los
Angeles Lakers 108-105 on Monday night.
Curry congratulated his teammates in a
brief postgame speech, but there was no celebration this time.
Why celebrate now and sell yourself
short? said Warriors forward Draymond
Green, who added 16 points and eight
rebounds. Continue to reach higher and
higher. Maybe thats where we were a year
ago or two years ago, but now we expect (to
make the playoffs).
The Warriors sealed their postseason

berth during a timeout late in the second

quarter when they learned Oklahoma City
lost 119-115 at Dallas. The videoboards
above halfcourt displayed CLINCHED,
and fans inside the sold-out arena gave the
home team a standing ovation.
Players just glanced up and played on.
This is a great sign that the players are
taking it in stride. It means that this franchise has come an incredibly long way the
last few years, said first-year coach Steve
Kerr, who didnt even know the team could
claim a playoff spot Monday until a public
relations official told him just before the

game.
The Warriors have made the playoffs in
three consecutive seasons for the first time
since 1975-77 and are trying to finish with
the NBAs best record.
Golden State (52-13) has a 6 1/2-game
lead over Memphis for the top spot in the
Western Conference. The Warriors welcome
East-leading Atlanta (53-14) to Oracle
Arena on Wednesday night.

49ers Borland tells

team he is retiring C
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Another star member of San

Franciscos vaunted defense is calling it a career.
The 49ers announced late Monday that linebacker
Chris Borland is retiring after one season, without
offering specifics.
Borland told ESPNs Outside the Lines earlier Monday
that he is retiring following his standout rookie season
because of concerns about head trauma.
While unexpected, we certainly respect Chris decision,
49ers general manager Trent Baalke said. From speaking
with Chris, it was evident that he had put a great deal of
thought into this decision. He was a consummate professional from day one and a very well-respected member of our
team and community.
Chris is a determined young man that overcame long
odds in his journey to the NFL and we are confident he will
use the same approach to become very successful in his
future endeavors. We will always consider him a 49er and
wish him all the best.
The 24-year-old Borland had a team-leading 108 tackles
in his stellar rookie season, emerging as a punishing
defender. He also had a sack and two interceptions.
He told Outside the Lines on Monday he wants to do
whats best for my health.
From what Ive researched and what Ive experienced,
I dont think its worth the risk, he said in that interview. I feel largely the same, as sharp as Ive ever
been. For me, its wanting to be proactive, Borland
said. Im concerned that if you wait till you have symptoms, its too late.
This is yet another blow to the team that lost coach
Jim Harbaugh and defensive coordinator Vic Fangio
after the season, then watched Frank Gore, Mike Iupati,
Chris Culliver and Perrish Cox depart in free agency
this past week.

punched out 10 batters in her varsity
debut, bouncing back from as shaky
first inning to do it. The first batter she
faced singled and Castilleja went on to
load the bases with one out. But the
right-hander escaped the inning
unscathed then struck out the side in
the second en route to setting down
nine straight batters.
I felt good about it after the first
inning, Bianca Magnani said. That
was kind of rough. Then after that, I felt
confident.
Last weeks crowning achievement
was Saturdays 9-5 win over Notre
Dame-Salinas to win the title in the
Circle of Champions Tournament at
Live Oak. The Tigers erupted for seven
runs in the first inning. The pitching
did the rest as Mifsud earned the win
through five innings of work to
improve her record to 4-1. Sofia
Magnani allowed just one unearned run
on two hits to notch the save.
The teams we played (in the tourney) were good and I feel like we
stepped up, Sofia Magnani said.

When the Magnani girls squared off

against one another in tryouts earlier
this year, Bianca Magnani was competing for a chance to make the team. She
made a quick impression on Van Meter,
who had an extra infield spot to fill
when catcher Sofia Reyes was unable to
start the year due to injury.
With junior Danika Kazakoff moving
from third base to catcher to fill the
void, it left a vacancy at the hot corner.
And Bianca Magnani seized the opportunity.
She was just a standout, clearly,
Van Meter said. Defensively, shes not
afraid of anything.
While earning a spot in the pitching
rotation, however, Bianca Magnani
had to face her soon-to-be teammates.
That included her older sister. The atbat ended in a strikeout of the elder
Sofia Magnani. It was a called third
strike, however, that Van Meter admittedly made while umpiring from the
dugout.
It was a controversial call on my
part, Van Meter said. But it was definitely fun to see.

I hadnt seen her play until this
year, Van Meter said. Shes already a
leader out there.
As pitchers, the two sisters are stylistically quite different. Sofia
Magnani is one to pitch to contact.
Through nine innings last week, she
struck out five opposing batters
quite by design, according to the wily
elder sister.

Mets Wheeler out for season with torn elbow ligament

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FORT MYERS, Fla. Mets pitcher Zack

Wheeler has a torn elbow ligament, a blow to
a team hoping to compete for the playoffs
following Matt Harveys return from Tommy
John surgery.
Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said
Wheeler has a complete tear, all but guaranteeing that the 24-year-old right-hander will
need elbow-replacement surgery and miss the
2015 season.
Wheeler the sixth overall pick in the
2009 amateur draft by the San Francisco
Giants and was traded to New York two years
later in a deal for outfielder Carlos Beltran
had MRIs of his elbow in late September,
January and Saturday, and Alderson said the

first two did not show any

ligament damage. The
team did not restrict
Wheelers throwing program during the first three
weeks of spring training,
even though there was
concern about his elbow.
Until Monday, Mets
Zack Wheeler officials said Wheelers
latest MRI was only precautionary. Wheeler said he would have been
able to throw through the pain had it been the
regular season.
Alderson said the team was warned by doctors in January that Wheelers elbow was a
concern and was going to have to be managed this season.

It wasnt clear that the ligament was

involved at that time, but we understood that
we were going to have to manage his medical
condition over the course of this season,
Alderson said. When he complained of the
elbow pain, it wasnt a surprise to us. What
prompted the MRI on Saturday was, Zack had
complained about the elbow in the past, but
the area of pain had increased in size.
Wheeler had his latest MRI on Saturday in
Port St. Lucie. The scan was reviewed
Monday at the Hospital for Special Surgery
in New York and he was with a torn ulnar
collateral ligament. The Mets said Wheeler
planned to travel Monday or Tuesday to New
York to confirm the diagnosis and discuss
with team medical director Dr. David
Altchek on how to proceed.

Tim Lincecum was removed from his last
start on March 11 against Milwaukee with a
stiff neck. Lincecum would have started
against the Reds on Monday but was
skipped. He is expected to return on the
21st.
Chris Stratton substituted for Lincecum
for the Giants. He will probably end up in
Triple-A but Giants manager Bruce Bochy
was able to get an extra look at him.
Stratton was good, Bochy said. A
popup dropped in on him so he had buzzards luck but he threw the ball real well.
Stratton allowed two runs, one earned, in
two innings. One run scored when center
fielder Justin Maxwell lost Marlon Byrds

Raiders brief

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Rose submits application for reinstatement

QB Matt Schaub released

ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders have
released Matt Schaub less than one year after
acquiring him to be their
starting quarterback.
Schaub was beaten out
for the starting job by
rookie Derek Carr last
year and was released
Monday just days after
Oakland signed Christian
Ponder as a backup.
Schaub threw just 10
Matt Schaub passes in his one season
with the Raiders with two interceptions. His
biggest contribution came when he took over
the holding duties from punter Marquette King.
The Raiders traded a sixth-round pick to
Houston for Schaub last March and paid him
$8 million this season. The move to cut him
saves $5.5 million on the salary cap.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GLENDALE, Ariz. Pete Rose has submitted a new request to be reinstated to baseball.
Rose agreed to the lifetime ban in August
1989 following an investigation for Major
League Baseball by outside lawyer John
Dowd that concluded the career hits leader
bet on the Reds to win while managing the
team. Rose applied for reinstatement in
September 1997 and met in November 2002
with Commissioner Bud Selig, who never
ruled on the application.
Rob Manfred succeeded Selig in January.
Manfred said after meeting with the Los
Angeles Dodgers in spring training on
Monday that he has a formal request from Rose.
What I intend to do is be in communication with his representatives, and well talk
about how well handle it from a process

outrebounded 42-25. The senior wasnt
Serras most prolific rebounder though.
Junior guard Jeremiah Testa came off the
b en ch t o g rab a g ame-h i g h n i n e

rebounds to Browns five.

It wasnt an uncommon performance for
the 6-2 Testa, who served as a post player as
a sophomore on the junior-varsity squad
last season. He also led all rebounders in the
Central Coast Section Open Division championship-game win over St. Francis with
six.
Rapp reinforces the importance of defense
and rebounding before every big game. And

perspective, he said.
At the time of the Rose
investigation, Manfred
was an associate at
Morgan,
Lewis
&
Bockius, a law firm that
worked on labor law matters for MLB. He was not
involved in the investigation.
Pete Rose
I want to make sure I
understand all of the details in the Dowd
Report and Commissioner Bart Giamattis
decision, Manfred said. I want to hear
what Pete has to say, and Ill make a decision.
Rose, who turns 74 next month, denied
for 15 years that he bet on baseball. In his
2004 autobiography, Pete Rose: My
Prison Without Bars, he reversed his stand
and acknowledged he bet on the Reds while

managing the team.

Roses lawyer, Ray Genco, said he and his
client were declining comment other than to
confirm the application had been submitted.
These days, Rose spends time is Las Vegas
signing baseballs for money. That may not
fit the lifestyle then Commissioner A.
Bartlett Giamatti suggested when the ban
agreement was announced.
The burden is entirely on Mr. Rose to
reconfigure his life in a way he deems
appropriate, Giamatti said at the time the
suspension was announced.
The Hall of Fames board of directors
voted in 1991 to bar anyone on the permanently ineligible list from the Baseball
Writers Association of America ballot.
Since his last year of BBWAA ballot eligibility would have been 2006, the impact of
reinstatement on his Hall chances is not
clear.

Testa has taken the tutelage to heart, as he

did before the surprise lopsided win over
Moreau Catholic.
Going into the game, Coach Rapp told
us the only way we were going to win is if
we board and we play defense, Testa said.
One of the things that we all saw we could
do because they were missing a lot of
shots was just grabbing boards.
In the closing minutes of first half in
which Serra outscored Moreau Catholic 4616, Testa proved the Jake Shuttlesworth
adage: Its the will of the man, not the skill
of the man.
The junior zoomed in for an impressive
board that was already in the grasp of a
Moreau Catholic player, but Testa pounced
to grab it away. He then found wide-open
Chris Favetti up top, and the 6-3 center capitalized on the second-effort by drilling a
jump shot.
It was really urgency because I saw the
first half was closing down and I really
wanted the team to come into the locker
room happy with some momentum, Testa
said. So, I was really eager to start something. So I just gave it everything Ive
got, went up to get that rebound, got another shot and we got that momentum.
Exactly what I wanted.
Serra 6-5 forward Jake Killingsworth has
been strong in the post through the postseason as well. And if the Padres need a big
body, they can always turn to 6-9 freshman
Jack Wilson.
And the Padres may need all the big bodies they can muster. Modesto Christians
top scorer is 6-6 senior power forward

Anthony Townes, who averages 19. 7

points per game. Idehen is the teams second most proficient shooter with 13. 9
points per game. 6-3 junior guard Christian
Ellis averages 13.3.

After opening its sixth Nor Cal tourney in

Gymnasium, aka The Jungle, just fulfills
the minimum capacity of 1,500 for a CIF

Huskies, Irish, Terps, Gamecocks earn No.1 seeds

By Doug Feinberg
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Geno Auriemma and his UConn Huskies

are ready to begin their quest for a third
straight national championship.
The Huskies earned the first overall in the
womens NCAA Tournament and placed in
the Albany Region. They are looking for
their 10th overall title, which would tie
Auriemma with UCLA mens coach John
Wooden for most all-time.
This is why you coach, Auriemma said of
going for a third straight championship.
This is why you come to Connecticut if you
are one of these players. Are we mature enough
to handle it? We will find that out very soon.
Though Connecticut is favored to threepeat, Auriemma said winning another title
isnt a guarantee.
The fact that everybody thinks its a
done deal, that were going to win the whole
thing, Auriemma said, those are probably
people who have never coached, or havent
coached in a Final Four or have won a
national championship.
Joining the Huskies as top seeds in the
64-team tournament that begins Friday are
Maryland, South Carolina and Notre Dame.
Notre Dame and UConn, former Big East
rivals, met in the national championship
game last season as undefeated teams with
the Huskies coming away with the victory.
The pair played earlier this season in South
Bend, Indiana, and the Huskies won by 18
points. UConn also beat South Carolina on

decades, are the team trying to climb out of
the Pacific Division cellar now. Los
Angeles kept the game close but never
overtook the Warriors in the final minutes
as they were overmatched and outmanned.
Losing is losing. There are no moral victories, Lakers coach Byron Scott said.
Weve been playing a lot of teams like
this.
The Lakers tied the game at 95-all on
Jordan Hills hook shot with 4:42 remaining.
Thompson quickly answered with a 3pointer, then Curry tossed a behind-theback pass to Andre Igoudala for a dunk.
Thompson followed with a layup to put

Feb. 9 by 25.
The Huskies, who are
led by Breanna Stewart,
seem to be improving and
have been rolling winning games by an average
of 42 points this season.
UConn will open on
Saturday
in
Storrs,
Connecticut, against St.
Geno
Francis,
Brooklyn,
Auriemma
which is making its first
tournament appearance. The Terriers (1518) are the 10th team to enter the NCAAs
with a losing record.
The Irish are the top seed in the Oklahoma
City Region.
Notre Dame has played in the past four
Final Fours, but have come up short of a
title each time. Baylor, Iowa and Stanford
are the top seeds in the region that will try
and derail the Irish.
The Gamecocks will face Savannah State
in the first round, a team they beat by 62
points earlier this year.
Florida State, Arizona State and North
Carolina will try and stop South Carolina in
the Greensboro Region. Last season the
Gamecocks lost to North Carolina in the
regional semifinals.
Obviously, last year left a sour taste in
our mouths and if ever you want a chance to
do it over, Id like to do it over, South
Carolina coach Dawn Staley said.
Maryland is the top seed in the Spokane
Region.

The Terrapins became

the second team to go
unbeaten in the Big Ten,
the conference they just
joined this year. They will
open up against New
Mexico State on Saturday.
Undefeated Princeton,
which is the 15th team to
the
NCAA
Dawn Staley enter
Tournament unbeaten, is
an eight-seed the highest in Ivy League
history. The Tigers will face Green Bay. Its
the third time in five tournament appearances
that the Tigers will play in the 8 vs. 9 game.
They had a historic year, NCAA
womens basketball committee chair Dru
Hancock said. When it came to where to
seed them, they didnt have any wins in the
Top 25. Their strength of schedule wasnt
great. Twenty one of the 30 wins came with
an RPI over 100.
The committee is very excited about the
Green Bay-Princeton matchup ... theyll
have a chance to show the entire country
what they can do.
Other teams in Spokane include No. 2
Tennessee and third seed Oregon State.
All teams in the field would like to get to
the national championship game April 7 in
Tampa, Florida. This season the womens
tournament moved its games up one day in
the first two rounds and the regionals. The
Final Four is still being played on Sunday
(semifinals) and Tuesday (title game).
The NCAA also decided to go back to

rewarding the top 16 seeds with home

games in the opening two rounds for the
first time since 2003.
By awarding the sites on merit the
Gamecocks were allowed to host the first
two rounds despite the state flying the
Confederate flag on Statehouse grounds.
The NCAA banned South Carolina and other
schools in the state from hosting championships held at predetermined sites because
of the states decision to fly the Confederate
flag. Mississippi schools also face the
same NCAA rules.
Third-seeded Louisville was the only one
of the 16 teams not hosting as the schools
home arena was being used for the mens
NCAA Tournament. The Cardinals will head
to South Florida to face BYU in the opener.
Louisville is one of eight Atlantic Coast
Conference teams in the tournament. The
Big Ten, led by former ACC member
Maryland, has seven teams in the field.
South Carolina is one of seven SEC teams
in the tournament. The SEC hasnt had a
team reach the Final Four since Tennessee
won the title in Tampa in 2008.
The Lady Vols will be making their 34th
straight appearance in the NCAA
Tournament, getting into the field ever year.
Three teams will be making their first trip
American, St. Francis, Brooklyn and
Savannah State.
Mondays bracket didnt include Georgia,
which saw its 20-year run of consecutive
appearances end. Earlier in the day coach
Andy Landers announced his retirement.

Golden State up 102-95.

Los Angeles rallied within one, and the
teams traded free throws in the final seconds
the Lakers fouling intentionally, and the
Warriors playing aggressive and not wanting their opponents to attempt a tying 3pointer.
Green finally finished the Lakers off by
deflecting the ball off Wesley Johnson for a
turnover.
Jordan Clarkson and Wayne Ellington
each scored 17 points, Johnson added 16
and Hill had 15 points and 12 rebounds for
the Lakers, who have lost eight of nine.

Disputed call

Thompsons ankle

Scott said he didnt understand why Curry

was awarded two free throws to start the
fourth quarter. He said the referees told him
the Warriors were in the bonus late in the
third quarter when Curry was fouled and
shouldve been given two free throws.
It just boggles my mind, Scott said. I
guess they can just review the things that
they want to review.

Golden State got a brief scare when

Thompson turned his right ankle awkwardly
as he stepped on Tarik Blacks foot in traffic
in the third quarter. The All-Star shooting
guard had his ankle re-taped in the locker
room and returned in the fourth.
Thompson had his ankle in a bucket of ice
after the game. Neither Thompson nor Kerr
thought the injury was serious.

Tip-ins
Golden State has won 16 in a row at home
against Western Conference opponents. ... The
Warriors are a league-best 30-2 at home. Its the
seventh time in franchise history theyve won
at least 30 games at home. The franchise record
is 36, set in the 1975-76 season.

Moguls skier Hannah Kearney retires

THE DAILY JOURNAL

By Pat Graham
Moguls skier Hannah Kearney is
gearing up for retirement by giving away some of her equipment to
the next generation she helped
inspire.
The two-time Olympic medalist
certainly wont need those ski
pants with the decorative knee
patches where shes going next
the classroom. Following a decade
of schooling the competition on
bump-riddled courses, the 29-yearold Kearney is stepping away to
work on her degree at Westminster
College in Salt Lake City.
Theres still one more event on
the docket: U.S. freestyle championships at the end of the month in

Steamboat Springs, Colorado. A

final hurrah and an opportunity to
donate her gear to aspiring moguls
youngsters.
Then, shes done for good. More
than likely, anyway.
I guess if the mood strikes me,
I may show up (at a World Cup
competition), Kearney said,
laughing, during a conference call
Monday. I know, from my own
feelings, its really hard to leave
behind a sport you love and a
lifestyle I have become completely accustomed to. Ive dedicated
myself to the sport for over a
decade and Im not really qualified
to do anything else. Its something Im good at, too.
But I am planning on retiring.
And while shes unsure of what

her next move may be, she does

know this: You wont see her at the
2018 Winter Games in South
Korea. Not as a competitor anyway, possibly as a commentator
or to root on teammates.
For all intents, her competition
days closed over the weekend with
a World Cup win in a dual moguls
contest in France. It was the 46th
victory of her career and tied her
with American Donna Weinbrecht
for most career moguls wins.
Quite a way to go out, too, especially since she captured the season title in both moguls and the
overall freestyle race. That pairs
nicely with the Olympic gold
medal she won at the 2010
Vancouver Games and bronze from
the Sochi Olympics last winter.

Half Moon Bay and San Mateo
each had winning non-league
records to this point, while
Aragon, Kings Academy and San
Mateo are all right around the
.500 mark going into league play.
The biggest beneciaries of the
PAL/WBAL merger is the Lake
Division, where the teams that
were formerly at the bottom of the
standings now have a chance to
compete and experience some success and winning. Those teams
were simply overmatched in the
leagues last season, so this new
alignment can only be better.
The Lake is already a week into
league play, with Mills and
Pinewood off to 2-0 starts.
Crystal Springs split a pair with
Jefferson, while Westmoor and
Harker are still searching for their
rst league victories.
The Vikings two wins last
week were their rst two of the
season as they went 0-7 playing
against teams from the Bay and
Ocean divisions. They were competitive in most of those games,
however, which should give them
a boost in league play.

Hillsdale High School
announced it was looking for a
new boys soccer coach for next
season, which can mean only one
thing: Andy Hodzic, the threetime coach for the Knights, has
stepped down.
Well see how long he can stay
away this time. Seems every time
Hodzic leaves the soccer program, he comes back a few years
later to right the ship. Hodzic has
been coaching at Hillsdale in one
capacity or another since 1995.
Hodzics latest stint with the
Hillsdale boys soccer program
started in 2008. He was the
teams third coach in as many
years to that point and Hodzic
simply could not watch the program wither away. His connection with the school is deep.
Both his children graduated from
Hillsdale and son Renato is now
the Knights boys water polo
coach. Ren Hodzics wife, Alisha,
is the girls varsity soccer coach.
As Andy Hodzic said in a 2008

interview, Honestly, I will coach

at Hillsdale until I die.
He must not be ready to leave
this mortal coil just yet. True to
his word, Hodzic may be leaving
the soccer pitch, but he will continue as the girls water polo
coach, a program he started.
I feel Hillsdale is my family,
Hodzic said during that 2008 interview. I dont think anything has
changed in the last seven years.
Besides, I have a feeling Hodzic
will be the schools emergency
backup plan if they cant nd a
qualied candidates to ll his
shoes. And nding one to do so is
going to be a daunting task. If
youre interested in applying for
the position, you may complete
an application on
[Link] or contact Brett
Stevenson at

Study calls heart imaging into

question for mild chest pain
By Marilynn Marchione
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The message that Coke can be a healthy snack is debatable. Alice Lichtenstein, a professor of
nutrition science and policy at Tufts University and a member of the nutrition committee at the
American Heart Association, said a smaller can of soda might be a move in the right direction
for someone who regularly drinks soda. Still, she wouldnt recommend soda as a snack.

Coca-Cola a healthy
snack? How company
gets its message out
By Candice Choi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK If a column in honor of

heart health suggests a can of Coke as a
snack, you might want to read the fine print.
The worlds biggest beverage maker, which
struggles with declining soda consumption
in the U.S., is working with fitness and nutrition experts who suggest its cola as a healthy
treat. In February, for instance, several wrote
online pieces for American Heart Month,
with each including a mini-can of Coke or
small soda as a snack idea.
The mentions which appeared on nutrition blogs and other sites including those of
major newspapers show the many ways
food companies work behind the scenes to
cast their products in a positive light, often
with the help of third parties who are seen as
trusted authorities.
Ben Sheidler, a Coca-Cola spokesman,
compared the February posts to product
placement deals a company might have with
TV shows.
We have a network of dietitians we work
with, said Sheidler, who declined to say how
much the company pays experts. Every big
brand works with bloggers or has paid talent.
Other companies including Kellogg and
General Mills have used strategies like pro-

viding continuing education classes for dietitians, funding studies that burnish the nutritional images of their products and offering
newsletters for health experts. PepsiCo Inc.
has also worked with dietitians who suggest
its Frito-Lay and Tostito chips in local TV
segments on healthy eating. Others use
nutrition experts in sponsored content; the
American Pistachio Growers has quoted a dietitian for the New England Patriots in a piece
on healthy snacks and recipes and Nestle has
quoted its own executive in a post about
infant nutrition.
For Coca-Cola Co., the public relations
strategy with health experts in February
focused on the theme of Heart Health &
Black History Month. The effort yielded a
radio segment and multiple online pieces.
One post refers to a refreshing beverage
option such as a mini can of Coca-Cola.
Another suggests portion-controlled versions of your favorites, like Coca-Cola mini
cans, packs of almonds or pre-portioned
desserts for a meal.
The focus on the smaller cans isnt surprising. Sugary drinks have come under fire for
fueling obesity rates and related ills, and the
last time Cokes annual U.S. soda volume
increased was in 2002, according to the
industry tracker Beverage Digest. More

SAN DIEGO People checked with a

heart CT scan after seeing a doctor for chest
pain have no less risk of heart attack, dying
or being hospitalized months later than
those who take a simple treadmill test or
other older exam, finds a big federal study.
The results are a surprise: CT scans, fancy
X-rays that give 3-D images of heart arteries, were expected to prove best and instead
turned out to be just a reasonable alternative. Doctors have used these scans for a
decade without knowing whether they are
better than traditional tests. The federal
government funded the $40 million study
the largest ever of heart imaging to find
out.
But the study also wound up exposing how
much medical radiation most patients like
this 4 million in the United States each
year are getting. Radiation can raise the
risk of developing cancer, yet few doctors
are choosing heart tests that do not require
radiation, the study revealed.
Its such a bad reflection on American
medicine, said one independent expert, Dr.
Eric Topol of the Scripps Clinic in La Jolla,
California. Look at how much radiation
they gave these poor people, equivalent to
500 to 700 regular X-rays, he said. That is
despicable.
If more patients were told the radiation
dose before agreeing to a test, more would
end up with safer alternatives, he said.
The study involved more than 10,000
patients in the United States and Canada.
Results were revealed Saturday at an
American College of Cardiology conference
in San Diego and published online by the
New England Journal of Medicine.
Chest pain can stem from something as
serious as a clogged artery or as harmless as
indigestion. CT scans are widely used to
diagnose heart problems in emergency
rooms. But their value isnt known for people who go to a doctor with new but stable,

less severe symptoms suggesting hidden

heart disease.
In the study, half of the patients were
given CT scans. The rest got whatever other
test their doctor chose to evaluate how well
their heart was working a sign of whether
it is getting enough blood from heart arteries.
Only 10 percent of doctors chose the simplest test monitoring the heart with an
electrocardiogram (ECG) while the patient
walks on a treadmill. It involves no radiation.
About 23 percent got an echocardiogram
an ultrasound, which uses sound waves
instead of radiation. A whopping two-thirds
got nuclear stress tests, in which radioactive dye is injected to make the blood vessels show up on pictures. Its the most costly test, and it involves more radiation than
a CT scan.
The aim of the study was to see which test
led to the best diagnosis and treatment,
thereby preventing the most deaths, heart
attacks and hospitalizations for heart-related reasons over the next two years.
Only 3 percent of patients had one of
these problems regardless of what kind of
test they got. It suggests that many of them
may not have extensive testing at all, just
medicines to address risk factors such as
high blood pressure or cholesterol if their
treadmill test was OK, Topol said.
CT scans had one advantage: more accurately guiding who needed appropriate follow-up testing and artery-opening procedures.
CT scanning more accurately detects
blockages and also more accurately excludes
them, said Duke Universitys Dr. Pamela
Douglas, who led the study. Deciding on a
test is a choice that doctors and patients
should be making together.
Radiation doses are falling as CT equipment improves, but the study does expose
that there are risks to many of these tests,
said Dr. Jeffrey Kuvin, one of the cardiology
conference leaders and cardiology chief at
Tufts Medical Center in Boston.

graduates of the Sequoia Union High School
District.
She said she is excited to join the high
school district, and is ready to work with her
fellow members on the board to address
issues facing the district such as establishing two new high schools in San Carlos and
Menlo Park, closing the achievement gap
and implementing the districts long-term
strategic plan.
It felt really great to be selected, and Im
really excited about the opportunity, she
said. Im honored to be selected out of this
group of qualified candidates.
She said though she has close ties to the
community in East Palo Alto, it is her
responsibility to work in the best interest
of all the students in the district, not just
those from her hometown.
The relationships she has fostered with
other city officials from her time on the
council will serve her well too, as serving
local students often requires a broad
approach and a perspective wider than just
focusing on the high school district, she
said.

Wednesdays event is open to the public
and will be judged by San Mateo Mayor
Maureen Freschet, Foster City Mayor Art
Kiesel and attorney Phil Hwang, executive
director of Community Legal Services in East
Palo Alto.
San Mateo Councilman David Lim, who
volunteered as a teacher during previous
years weekend programs, will MC the event.
The program is great. Its founder, Dr.
Chai, has created a program that not only
hones high school students speaking skills,
it teaches aspects of leadership that help
young people gain confidence and skills
that will help them in all facets of their life
moving forward, Lim wrote in an email.
For two hours once a week, the students
heard from a variety of community leaders
who spoke about rhetorical skills such as
knowing your audience and exuding confidence, said Chai and Foster City Councilman
Steve Okamoto. This year, Okamoto assisted
teaching a class for the program that nearly
150 students have attended throughout the
last decade, Chai said.
Number one, we teach kids how to format

Im very familiar with what some of the

challenges are in local communities, not
just East Palo Alto, but the whole area, she
said.
Martinez, who was the first Latina to
serve as mayor in East Palo Alto, said her
extensive experience at such a young age
can give help bring her a unique outlook to
the board.
Being the youngest person in the room
can be interesting, but I bring a different
perspective, she said. I know the community, and I have the experience that it takes
to contribute.
Her familiarity with the public process,
and being an elected official, will aid her
transition onto the school board, she said.
She will serve through November, which
is when Olivia Martinezs term is set to
expire. Olivia Martinez announced in
January she will leave the district after 16
years, and will move to Dallas, Texas with
her family.
Georgia Solkov Jack, Ellen Mouchawar,
Jay Siegel, Sus Kim Thumasathit and Isaiah
Vi also vied for the position.
Laura Martinez said she cannot wait to
begin serving the students of the high
school district.
When I start my role on Wednesday, I
want to collaborate with the rest of the
board and work toward the goals that have
been set as a district she said.
a speech, present a beginning, middle and an
end. Secondly, we teach them how to present,
how to look, how to stand, the body language thats necessary. Then the third is to
show how important communication is as a
leader. Because what you want to do is motivate people to action, Okamoto said.
The program has had numerous successes,
including two graduates having gone on to
internships in the offices of U.S. Rep. Jackie
Speier, D-San Mateo, and state Sen. Jerry
Hill, D-San Mateo, Okamoto said.
Chai and Okamoto said the program helps
students learn a valuable and universal life
skill.
Unless a kid takes a speech class, theres
really no other way that these high schoolers
can learn how to make a presentation,
Okamoto said. Whether its to a potential
employer or just to your kids, you need to
know how to communicate and this particular
class, even though its only six weeks, has
really helped to lay a foundation. So these
kids can take what they learn and expand on
it.

set income. But that doesnt take into consideration a high-cost-of-living area such
as ours.
The ACA applies a blanket federal poverty level formula to determine who qualifies
for tax subsidies. Currently, an individual
making up to $45,960 and a family of four
that brings in up to $94,200 a year qualify
for premium tax credits.
While that level of income may make for
a cozy lifestyle in other areas, Eshoo said
middle-class families that have higher
salaries are still struggling with the
increasing rents and expenses of the Bay
Area.
Instead, Eshoos proposal would tie the
income threshold used to determine health
care subsidy eligibility to a particular areas
cost of living. Eshoo said using geography
as determined by the Census Bureaus
Supplemental Poverty Measure will assist
in ensuring the ACA truly makes health
insurance affordable.
The proposal would allow an individual
living in San Mateo County who makes up
to $62,852 a year or a family of four making up to $129,495 a year to qualify for tax
credits, according to Eshoos office.
In some areas of the country, thats a
really high number. But middle class
income means different things in different
parts of our country. So I think this is not
only sensible, its fair, Eshoo said.
In Napa, a family of four earning up to
$116,808 and individuals earning up to
$56, 990 would qualify, according to
Eshoos office.
In many communities in our district, the
cost of living is far higher than the national average, Thompson said in a press
release. With [ACA] qualifying income
levels set across the board, many hardworking families in high-cost areas like
ours dont qualify for subsidies and therefore cant get affordable insurance. This bill
will help make health insurance affordable,
no matter where someone lives.
The Fair Access to Health Care Act was
introduced but died in Congress last year.
Eshoo said she is continuing to advocate
for support for the bill that was inspired by

sale of unneeded, surplus firearms to currently employed sworn personnel of the

Sheriffs Office through a licensed firearms
dealer.
The sales will be at fair market value and
an effective way to dispose of the obsolete
firearms, according to the report.
In the 2013 report, Munks anticipated the
sale of about 755 of the guns to be about
$150,000. Of those, 355 were being used
then by deputies and the other 400 were old
firearms no longer needed, according to the
report.
Supervisor Don Horsley, the countys former sheriff, supports the plan.
When I retired, I would have liked to purchase the firearm I carried, Horsley said.
Some of the deputies, he said, might like
to keep their old firearms as an heirloom.

struggles her constituents related to her

office.
Although she doesnt anticipate significant pushback, Eshoo noted the bill would
only increase the threshold for eligibility
in high cost-of-living areas; it wouldnt
impact an individual who already qualifies
and no region would see a reduction in their
current subsidy level.
For those in Congress who represent
very rural areas, those frankly are already
included in the bill, Eshoo said. Places
that are much lower income are already
included. But income that we would consider very high in other parts of the country, would be considered average here. For
much lower income people in our region,
and there are many of them, theyre already
covered in the ACA. This is about middle
class income meaning different things in
different parts of the country.
The ACA already uses a higher income
threshold to determine subsidy eligibility
in Alaska and Hawaii. Eshoos proposal
would extend the consideration to the
remaining states. Other federal laws also
provide precedent for cost-of-living adjustments, Eshoo said.
Theres two examples of places where
the federal government uses cost of living
already, were not cutting new ground. The
[Federal Housing Administration] conforming loan limits and Medicare reimbursement for doctors thats based on geography and the cost of living, Eshoo said.
The proposal is expected to be heard in
the House Committee on Ways and Means;
however, it is also ripe to become part of a
larger package of related bills that could
improve upon the ACA, according to
Eshoos office. Last time around, the bill
received solid support through co-sponsors
and the hope is to identify senators who
would be interested in chairing a Senate version of the bill, according to Eshoos
office.
Eshoo said she and Thompson seek to
ensure the ACAs intention to make health
care affordable applies to everyone.
Some hard-working families in highcost areas like ours dont qualify for subsidies and therefore dont have access to lowcost insurance like the ACA offers, Eshoo
said. This helps make health insurance
affordable no matter where someone lives.
We dont want to hold geography against
them.

Kelly McBride, who teaches media ethics

specifically paid by Coke for the column.
This is an example of opaque sponsored

ing poor, he said, there is no hope of

making progress.
He touts the 140 restaurants in downtown San Mateo that earned it a Best
Small Town for Food distinction from
Rand McNally.
The people that make that possible
have no hopes of living here sustainably, Hugg said about restaurant
workers.
The waning foreclosure crisis has
also sent many former home owners
back into renting, which has also
fueled the crisis, he said.
Then there are the multiple offers
being made for the declining number
of homes for sale in the county.
Average sales price in San Mateo
County has climbed to $1.4 million in
February 2015, up nearly $500,000
from that same month in 2012, according to the San Mateo County
Association of Realtors.
Some homes are selling for well
above asking prices and foreign
investors are even paying cash.
This has also sent rents soaring in
the area.
According to county officials, the
average rent for a two-bedroom apartment is now $2,648, a 51 percent
increase over the past four years.
Groups such as the San Francisco

Organizing
Project/Peninsula
Interfaith Action have held rallies and
marches in recent weeks to emphasize
the impacts high rents are having on
the working poor and immigrant families.
The nonprofit advocates for families
struggling with huge rent increases on
stagnant wages.
As people of faith, we believe that
every family should live with dignity
and stability. That is why we are working with legal partners to make sure
these families know where to find
resources and legal help, said Aracely
Mondragon, with SFOP/PIA.
With rent increases up to 100 percent and sudden evictions, many individuals do not have the security of
being able to provide their family with
a home, she said.
Despite working and living in San
Mateo County for many years, many
families are having to leave the area,
leaving behind their community. We
are helping families advocate for stable and dignified housing for all families by lifting up the story of what
members in our community are facing
and asking that renter protections like
rent stabilization and just cause eviction be a part of the larger strategy to

Those in attendance will have the

There will also be vendors offering

The garden demonstrations, the
highlight of the show for many, will

those who have a green thumb.

an expert, and still find tips and tricks
and inspirations from these gardens,

Stavros said there is an emphasis
this year on educating visitors how to
garden responsibly and preserve water
during the drought seasons that
California has been experiencing.
Theres a lot of information about
drought resistance, she said. Its
such a hot topic, so weve really tried

address
the

crisis,
Mondragon said.
At Tuesdays study session on the
housing crisis, the Board of
Supervisors will contemplate a set of
strategies to combat the housing crisis
including a rent stabilization ordinance, tenants rights, amending zoning codes to ease construction of
affordable housing and even tiny houses as a way to boost the areas affordable housing stock.
But Hugg said that rent control is not
a silver bullet.
The Costa-Hawkins Act of 1995 dictates that rent control does not affect
housing units built after 1995 and does
not apply to single-family residences.
With the rental population reaching
50 percent in some cities in the county, diminishing number of homes for
sale and low a supply of rentals, the
middle class and working poor have
little options but to pay skyrocketing
rents or leave the county, housing
advocates contend.
It is up to the areas elected officials,
they argue, to combat the problem.
The San Mateo County Board of
Superv isors will hold a study session
on affordable housing 1:30 p. m. ,
