SAN FRANCISCO A storm brought

strong winds, heavy rain, snow and high
surf to California on Sunday, the fourth day
of wet weather that has inundated rivers and
roads and led to some evacuations.
Dry conditions and warmer weather are
forecast for Monday. California is in its
fifth year of drought, and though the rain
and snow help, it will take years of normal
or above-normal rainfall to right the deficit,
experts say.
The storm that dumped rain in much of
Northern California was expected to weaken
as it moved south, though the southern part
of the state could see scattered showers or
drizzle, and beachgoers were warned of powerful surf along the central and Southern
California coast.
North in Washington state, a man died
after a large tree fell on his car in Seattle as
a strong wind storm battered much of western part of the state. The National Weather
Service warned of high winds, which
knocked out power to tens of thousands of
people.
Meanwhile, Northern California saw
rivers and creeks swell and flood risk rise.
About 8 1/2 inches of rain fell during a 72hour period in the unincorporated town of
Venado in Sonoma County.
Authorities helped evacuate about 175
people from a campsite in Santa Clara
County after a creek began rising, threatening to trap the campers, San Jose television
station KNTV reported.
More than a foot of snow has fallen in the
Sierra Nevada, which has been battered by a
series of winter storms, and up to 3 feet was
expected in the higher elevations through
Monday, the weather service said.
Powerful rains also slammed central
California, flooding streets in Fresno and
briefly shutting down the airport.

Foster City seeks to engage businesses

By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

In seeking to create an economically, environmentally and socially sustainable path forward, the Foster City Council is engaging the
local businesses community as it solidifies a
strategic planning document.
The city is hosting an economic development business roundtable meeting Tuesday
morning, marking its first outreach to local
proprietors as officials forge ahead with creating the Sustainable Foster City plan. A previously controversial endeavor ended with the
former council tabling the project after a disagreement with the Chamber of Commerce.
However, the city is now taking full ownership
of the document to creating a long-term economic development plan.
As a hot topic during the last election, city
officials are hoping to update a variety of planning documents a notable goal for the city
known as one of the first planned communities, or those with master plans, in California.
Tuesdays meeting will touch on a range of
issues related to promoting a thriving economy such as transportation, land use policies,
workforce housing, environmental sustainability and community infrastructure, according to the city.
Vice Mayor Charlie Bronitsky, who worked
on the previous plan and is part of the council
sub-committee overseeing the ongoing economic development document, said Tuesday is
an important step to engaging local businesses.
The final economic plan is yet to be determined, but really its going to come out of what
weve done so far, Bronitsky said. What
were trying to really do is integrate the com-

San Mateo County sheriffs deputies are

two separate home burglaries that occurred
Friday evening in San Carlos.
Between 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., two burglaries occurred, one in the 1500 block of
Howard Avenue and another in the 600
block of Cordilleras Avenue, according to
sheriffs officials.
In the first burglary, the suspects gained
access to the house by smashing a rear sliding glass door. In the second burglary, the
suspects entered through a rear unlocked
door.
Both homes were unoccupied at the time
of the burglaries, sheriffs officials said.
Sheriffs deputies conducted an extensive
search for the suspects, but were unable to
locate them.
The suspects are both described as

theyre here.
Resident and Chamber CEO Joanne Bohigian
said the city has opted to take charge of the
plan she formerly helped develop. Regardless,
shes pleased steps are being made toward creating a new document that reflects both current
conditions and outlines a path forward.
The significance of a plan for our city at
this juncture is critical. The original master
plan that had been laid out by T. Jack Foster
has been significantly realized and certain
things are working really well and certain
things that perhaps never would have been
imagined, are causing challenges. That can be
anything from the growth of the community

population, urbanization, housing affordability, etcetera, Bohigian said. Were in essence

Bohigian noted some residents have
expressed an aversion to new development or
suggest Foster City might be better off as a residential community, such as Hillsborough. But
with major corporations such as Visa Inc. and
Gilead Sciences already headquartered in Foster
City, Bohigian emphasized its now about
finding a coordinated strategy that protects
residents interests while allowing businesses
to grow.
Resident Bob Cushman said he remains concerned the council is not looking out for the
best interests of residents but is overly focused
on encouraging developments that have had
negative impacts on the quality of life.

the traffic and school overcrowding issues are
the result of overdevelopment. And here we are
talking about more development, Cushman
said.
Cushman is worried officials are proceeding
based on misconceptions, and said the citys
own financial experts predict a strong financial future and increasing property tax revenue.
He agrees economic development should be
part of the citys comprehensive plan, but said
hed feel more comfortable with the city taking
charge instead of having the chamber
involved.
Bohigian emphasized the city has taken the
helm and her organization is proceeding with
its own goals and studies. She added shes committed to remaining a resource for the city and
glad to see that council and staff are reaching
out to connect with the business community.
Bronitsky noted Tuesdays meeting may be
geared toward connecting with businesses, but
outreach to residents will undoubtedly be an
integral part of any new planning document.
The long range of all this is to reach out to
the businesses in the future as much as we have
to the residents in the past, Bronitsky said,
noting he hopes to bridge a gap. As we work
on each of these major focus areas (economic
development, land use, transportation), each
will have outreach. Its exciting, its a great
opportunity for Foster City to continue to be an
innovator as it has been since it was the first
planned community in California.

Lawmakers benefit from public records carve-outs

By Jonathan J. Cooper
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Californians
are entitled to view a wide variety
of emails, memos and other
records created by their state and
local governments. Ask to see
who your state lawmaker is emailing, however, and theyll get a
two-page canned response that
says, in essence, no way.
Access to public records is considered paramount to maintaining
trust in government holding
politicians accountable. But
California lawmakers wrote themselves out of the 1968 Public
Records Act that requires other
government officials to release
their records when the public asks.
Lawmakers instead apply their
own, less transparent law.
The issue has come into focus
repeatedly since the Legislative
Open Records Act was signed in

1975, but little has changed.

Government transparency laws
like those allowing public access
to records allow citizens to keep
an eye on their government,
ensuring politicians are keeping
their promises, and deter corruption, said Jessica Levinson, a professor at Loyola Law School who
serves as president of the Los
Angeles Ethics Commission.
When people know that theyre
going to have to tell the public
what theyre doing, or how theyre
getting and spending money, or
how theyre spending their time,
then they may think twice before
engaging in questionable behavior, Levinson said.
Legislators have long defended
their carve-outs as necessary protections for constituents and for
maintaining a forum for frank
debate in the Legislature.
The Associated Press requested a
weeks worth of calendar entries

and emails for

the four top
lawmakers in
every state and
most
governors.
In California,
officials
in
Gov.
Jerry
Jerry Brown Browns office
said
they
release the governors calendar
monthly and declined to provide
earlier access to a week of
appointments.
Brown did not use his official
email account during the week
requested by the AP, spokesman
Evan Westrup said.
The Assembly and Senate Rules
committees declined requests for
emails and calendars for the top
legislative leaders, citing a number of exemptions including privacy and legislative privilege.
Californias legislative branch

is bound by a less transparent public records law than the Public

Records Act, which applies to
other government agencies,
including the executive branch
and local governments.
The Legislative Open Records
Act, signed in 1975, exempts
from public disclosure all correspondence of and to individual
members of the Legislature and
their staff as well as any communications between private citizens
and the Legislature.
In denying the APs requests, the
Rules committees also cited a
1991 California Supreme Court
decision that said Gov. George
Deukmejian was not required to
disclose his calendar. Yet, Brown
and his predecessor, as well as
other statewide elected officials,
regularly release their schedules
upon request.
In 2011, three lawmakers told
the AP and San Jose Mercury News

they would be willing to release

their personal meeting calendars,
but were prohibited from doing so
by the rules committees that control legislative documents. The
rule appeared to be extremely rare
among state legislatures.
That same year, then-Assembly
Speaker John Perez said hed create a task force to study openrecords issues following an uproar
over the Assemblys refusal to
release lawmakers office spending records during a feud with
another Democratic lawmaker.
The task force does not appear
to have ever met, and Perez
referred questions about it to the
Assembly Rules Committee.
Chief Administrator Debra Gravert
said she was hired three years later
but would research the issue.
We already did more disclosure
than was required by law, and more
disclosure than the Senate did,
Perez said.

Watchdog considers rule narrowing secret lobbying UC to overhaul sex

By Alison Noon

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO California
regulators are considering a plan
to curb secret lobbying at the state
Capitol.
The Fair Political Practices
Commission plans to vote
Thursday on narrowing a regulation that allows people to avoid
identifying themselves as lobbyists by attending Capitol meetings as experts. They comply with
current rules by working alongside
lobbyists who are properly registered.
The regulation has faced scrutiny as a way for former legislators
and officials to skirt state rules
requiring they wait a year after
leaving office to lobby their former colleagues.
People found it to be a little bit

harassment reviews
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND The president of

the University of California system ordered a new process for
reviewing sexual harassment
claims against administrators after
UC Berkeley faced a backlash over
how it handled allegations against
the dean of its law school.
Sujit
Choudhry
resigned
Thursday after his former executive assistant alleged in a lawsuit
that her boss received only a temporary pay cut and orders to undergo counseling as punishment following a campus investigation
that substantiated her claims that
he repeatedly kissed and touched
her.
University leaders must make sure
that substantiated cases of sexual
misconduct be dealt with firmly,

fairly and expeditiously and that

appropriate sanctions are imposed
that recognize the serious nature of
these claims, University of
California
President
Janet
Napolitano said Friday in a letter to
the systems 10 chancellors.
She announced that a new systemwide committee would review
and approve all proposed penalties
for high-level administrators who
violate sexual assault and harassment policies. She also ordered all
chancellors, provosts, vice chancellors, vice provosts and deans to
complete sexual assault and harassment training by March 25.
This issue is critically important to the University of
California, and to me personally,
the former Homeland Security secretary and Arizona governor wrote
in the letter.

Trump stands by his campaign rhetoric

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BLOOMINGTON,
Ill.

Showing no signs of trying to

ease the nations tense political
atmosphere, Republican frontrunner Donald Trump is standing
by his antagonistic campaign
rhetoric, rejecting any responsibility for violence at his rallies
and defending his supporters who
have been charged with assaulting
protesters.
Were not provoking. We want
peace. ... We dont want trouble,
he told a large crowd Sunday in
Bloomington, Illinois. Protests
sparingly interrupted his remarks,
less than 48 hours after he canceled a planned event in Chicago
amid widespread altercations
among his supporters, detractors
and authorities. A near-riot erupted
when news of the cancellation was
made public.
Yet Trump on Sunday again
assured his supporters that their
anger and even their occasional
punches are righteous, because

they are disenfranchised economically and

provoked by
di s r up t e r s
that he says are
sent
by
De m o c r a t i c
p r e s i de n t i a l
Donald Trump hopeful Bernie
Sanders campaign.
Sanders dismissed Trumps
assertion that the Vermont senators backers are responsible for
the widespread protests.
To suggest that our campaign is
telling people to disrupt his campaign is a lie, Sanders said
Sunday on CBS Face the
Nation. Some Trump protesters,
including in Chicago, have been
seen carrying Sanders campaign
signs.
Earlier Sunday, Trump confirmed
that hes instructed my people to
look into paying the legal fees
for one of his North Carolina supporters charged with assaulting a

protester earlier this month.

With his rivals mostly blaming
him for the Chicago melee and rising tensions, Trump counters that
hes due credit for canceling the
Friday rally and avoiding a worse
outcome. Still, he claimed incorrectly that nobody gets hurt at
his rallies, despite multiple
videos
showing
protesters
pushed, punched and bullied at his
events.
Whatever the interpretations,
the atmosphere has yet to harm
the front-runner heading into
Tuesdays primary contests,
including those in the home states
of fellow candidates John Kasich,
the Ohio governor, and Marco
Rubio, the Florida senator.
The winner-take-all contests
will help determine whether Trump
can be stopped short of the
required 1,237 delegates required
for the nomination, thus forcing a
contested Republican convention
in Cleveland this summer.
Polls suggest Kasich has a shot
at knocking off Trump in Ohio,

while Trump appears to be holding

his lead in Florida. Rubio has
gone so far as to recommend to his
Ohio supporters to back their governor. Kasich has not returned that
favor.
In Florida, more than 1.9 million voters had already cast ballots heading into Sunday, the final
day of early voting. Republican
ballots far outnumber Democratic
votes, according to figures
released by the state Division of
Elections. Republicans account
for more than 1.1 million early
voters, while about 819, 000
Democrats have cast ballots.
Early voters are projected to
account for at least half the total
number of votes in Tuesdays primary.
Trump will finish his Sunday
schedule in Florida, following a
scheduled town hall in Ohio.
His first event Sunday was
noticeably calmer than many of
his recent rallies. A Bloomington
police spokesman confirmed there
were no arrests.

The GOP front-runners rivals

in both major parties have
since Friday increased their criticism of Trumps rhetoric, calling
it dangerous and divisive, from his
assertion that Mexican immigrants rapists and criminals
to his repeated cracks about
punching protesters and taking
them out on a stretcher.
Rubio, a distant third in the GOP
delegate count, compared Trump to
third-world strong men, and said
the tone of the campaign is really going to do damage to
America.
Rubio said on CNN that Trump is
arguing to voters: Dont put your
faith in yourselves. Dont put your
faith in society. Put your faith in
me.
On the Democratic side, Sanders
said he has millions of supporters, some of whom will do what
they do.
Sanders said on CNN that Trump
is a man who keeps implying
violence, and then you end up getting what you see.

Rubios political reckoning arrives in Florida primary

By Steve Peoples
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIAMI Florida Sen. Marco

Rubio was among the Republican
Partys biggest stars when he
burst onto the national stage in
the tea party wave of 2010. Now,
he is facing a home-state showing
on Tuesday that could devastate
his 2016 presidential campaign
and damage his political brand for
years to come.

The CubanAm e r i c a n s
desire
to
become
the
nations first
Hispanic president, and his
past support
for a forgiving
Marco Rubio i m m i g r a t i o n
policy, have
failed to excite conservative primary voters who instead have

flocked to Donald Trumps

nativist politics.
Marcos always had good timing. This time, the timing just
wasnt there, said Albert
Lorenzo, who managed Rubios
first state house campaign nearly
two decades ago and stays in close
contact with him.
Yet Lorenzo, like those closest
to Rubio, suggest that should his
bid end in disappointment, the
senators career in public service

is far from over. The 44-year-old

Republican could run for Florida
governor in two years, president
in four years or even his own
Senate seat later this year.
Hes a talent you dont find,
Lorenzo said.
Added Rubio ally, Miami city
commissioner Francis Suarez: I
cant think of anybody more popular in Florida than he is except
maybe the man hes losing to.
Indeed, the first-term senator

has been looking up at Trump in

Florida preference polls for
months. Rubio is the decided
underdog to the billionaire businessman in Tuesdays do-or-die
home-state contest.
Despite long odds, Rubio
insists hes focused on winning.
I havent even thought about
what Im having for lunch today,
much less what Im going to run
for in two years or nothing at all,
he told reporters.

Intelligence advice for next president: Rocky road ahead

By Deb Riechmann
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON To: The next

president of the United States.
From: U. S. intelligence officials.
Welcome to the White House.
Now read our take on global political landscape and trends for the
next five years and beyond.
Bottom line: Get ready for a rocky
road.
Their forecast calls for a slowing global economy dragged down
by sluggish growth in China, and
political volatility across the
world, spurred by disillusionment
with the status quo. Insecurity will
deepen rifts among social classes
and religious groups. Extremists
will consolidate into large-scale
networks across Africa, the Arab
world and parts of Asia.
Competition among the U.S,
China and Russia will heat up,
raising the risk of future con-

frontations. Climate change is a

problem now. And technological
advances will force governments
and their citizens to wrestle with
securing data, privacy, intellectual
property and jobs lost to hightech innovations.
The National Intelligence
Council, part of the Office of the
Director of National Intelligence,
serves as a bridge between intelligence agencies and policymakers.
Its global trends report is compiled every four years so it can be
handed to an incoming president
or the incumbent. A summary of a
draft of its latest findings was to
be released Monday at a conference in Austin, Texas.
These trends follow 20 years of
unprecedented reductions in
poverty and increased access to
education and information, which
have empowered citizens around
the world.
Suzanne Fry, director of the
councils Strategic Future Group,

and about 10 of her colleagues visited 30 countries since September

2014 to talk about the future with
an estimated 1,800 people from
all walks of life.
Really for the first time in
human history, people as individuals, really, really matter, Fry
said in an interview.
She
recalled
Mohammed
Bouazizi, a fruit seller who killed
himself in 2010 to protest police
actions in Tunisia. His death
sparked an uprising that led to the
ouster of Tunisias dictator and
inspired Arab Spring protests
against authoritarian rule across
the region.
In America, public discontent is
evidenced by the rise of two presidential candidates Republican
Donald Trump and Democrat
Bernie Sanders whose antiestablishment messages appeal to
anger among the general electorate, Fry said.
Theyre channeling something

that were observing in a lot of

countries, not just the United
States, which is this real dissatisfaction with the existing social
bargains or compacts in societies, Fry said.
The report suggests that this
type of populism being seen in
industrial nations will percolate
in the developing world as those
affected by a slow-to-zero rise in
wages and a hollowing out of the
middle class start questioning the
effectiveness of traditional policies.
The councils final report is
expected to be released between
Election Day, Nov. 1, and the
inauguration of the next president, on Jan. 20, 2017. The aim is
to provide information about
emerging trends to guide decisions that could alter the way the
world is expected to evolve during
the next 20 years.
A significant trend cited in the
report is a slowdown of Chinas

economy, which has reduced

demand for commodities, especially in Latin America, Africa and
the Middle East. Also on the economic front, the report highlights
a concern about increased concentration of wealth among a small
number of people.
We have seen lots of poverty
reduction in recent years and people flowing into the middle class,
but how do you keep this movie
going? Its not clear that the
political and economic reforms
can keep it going, Fry said.
Weve got brand new entrances to
the middle class in the developing
world. Their expectations are
enormous and they are about to be
crushed.
The report predicts increased
competition and a desire for status by emerging and fading powers. This will play out as transnational terrorism, conducted by
groups such as the Islamic State,
al-Qaida and Boko Haram.

Educators and activists

call for Hispanic studies
By Donna Bryson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER When a Colorado teacher got

her English language students talking and
writing about the police shooting of a black
teen in Ferguson, Missouri, she was able to
draw parallels to events close to home. Cara
Luchies, who works in a high school that is
50-percent Hispanic, used an archive on the
regions Latino history for information on two
young Mexican-Americans who were killed by
law enforcement in Longmont in 1980.
Luchies is among educators and activists
across the country who say they are working to ensure young Americans of any background learn through ethnic studies about
the hard work of nation-building. The push
has at times met opposition.
Lawmakers in Arizona passed a 2010 ban
on ethnic studies that forced a Tucson
school board to shutter a Mexican-American
program. In Texas, a push for a statewide
Mexican-American studies high school

elective faltered in the face of concern that it

might introduce leftist politics into classrooms.
But in Colorado, a government class that
by state law must cover the history and culture of minorities, including but not limited
to the American Indians, the Hispanic
Americans and the African Americans has
been a graduation requirement for a decade.
A measure before the state Legislature would
strengthen that law.
The proposal would create an ethnically
diverse commission to help school districts
develop the kind of curricula for which
teachers like Luchies have been searching.
We want to move that law forward, said
state Rep. Joseph Salazar, a Democrat who
introduced the proposal this session. Last
month, the House education committee
referred the proposal to appropriations.
Salazar doesnt expect much opposition
to the proposal he made that implementation of the law on ethnic studies has been
weak.

Extremists kill 14 in Ivory Coast

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GRAND-BASSAM, Ivory Coast

Armed men attacked an Ivory
Coast beach resort Sunday, killing
at least 16 people and sending
tourists fleeing through the historic town of Grand-Bassam in an
attack claimed by al-Qaidas North
Africa branch.
Bloody bodies were sprawled on
the beach and witnesses described
horrific scenes as a lazy weekend
afternoon was shattered by the
West Africas latest extremist
strike.
Ivory
Coasts
President
Alassane Ouattara told reporters at
the scene that 14 civilians, two
special forces and six assailants
were killed when the gunmen
stormed the beach. The president

arrived in Grand-Bassam a few

hours after the attack, visiting the
hotels and saluting security forces
for their quick response.
I present my condolences to
the families of the people who
were murdered, and of course I am
very proud of our security forces
who reacted so fast, Ouattara said
outside the Etoile du Sud, one of
the targeted hotels. The toll
couldve been much heavier.
Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb
claimed responsibility for the
attack, according to SITE
Intelligence Group which monitors jihadist websites. The Islamic
extremist group made the declaration in a post to its Telegram
channels, calling three of the
REUTERS attackers heroes for the assault.

China pledges new push

against hostile forces
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIJING Chinas chief prosecutor said

Sunday that battling infiltration, subversion and sabotage by hostile forces is a
key priority this year, with terrorists, ethnic separatists and religious extremists all
in his crosshairs.
In a speech to the annual session of
Chinas national legislature, Cao Jianmin
also listed combatting cybercrime and
ensuring national sovereignty in cyberspace as items topping the list of 2016 priorities.
Prosecutors will also continue to follow
up on cases brought to as part of an almost
three-year-old nationwide anti-corruption

campaign spearheaded by the ruling

Communist Partys watchdog agency, Cao
said.
Although he identified no specific groups
or individuals as threats, Beijing has in the
past cited a long list of hostile forces it
accuses of seeking to end communist rule
and plunge China into chaos, division and
economic ruin.
Those include agents of foreign governments, civil society groups who challenge
the partys absolute authority, religious dissenters such as the underground church and
the banned Falun Gong meditation sect.
Those campaigning for ethnic rights are
also frequently cited, including exiled
Tibetan leader the Dalai Lama.

Ivory Coasts commercial center.
It was the third major attack on a
tourism center in West Africa since
November.
Some witnesses said the
assailants fired at random, while
others said the killing was more
targeted. Witness Marcel Guy said
that gunmen raced across the
beach in small groups, toting
Kalashnikov rifles and hunting
for victims. One gunman, who had
a long beard, approached two children on the beach and Guy said he
heard the man speaking Arabic.

Car bomb in Turkeys capital

kills at least 27, wounds 75
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANKARA, Turkey A car bombing in

Turkeys capital has killed at least 27 people and wounded around 75 others on
Sunday, officials said.
The blast occurred on the citys main
boulevard, Ataturk Bulvari, close to
Ankaras main square, Kizilay. It happened
adjacent to bus stops near a park.
The private NTV news channel said a car,
believed to be laden with explosives, detonated close to a bus. Several vehicles then
caught fire, it said. The area is close to government offices, including ministries.
Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu convened an emergency security meeting after
the bombing, which also shattered the windows of shops that line Kizilay square.
Dogan Asik, 28, said he was on a bus
when the explosion occurred.
We were thrown further back into the bus
from the force of the explosion, said Asik,
who sustained injuries on his face and arm.
Police sealed off the area and pushed

onlookers and journalists back, warning

there could be a second bomb. Forensic
teams were examining the scene.
The bombing is the third in the city in
five months and comes as Turkey is faced
with an array of issues, including renewed
fighting with the Kurdish rebels, threats
from the Islamic State group and a Syrian
refugee crisis.
It occurred just three weeks after a suicide
car bombing in the capital targeted buses
carrying military personnel, killing 29
people. A Kurdish militant group which is
an offshoot of the outlawed Kurdish rebel
group, the Kurdistan Workers Party, or
PKK, claimed responsibility for the Feb. 17
attack. The government, however, said that
attack was carried out by a Syrian Kurdish
militia group in concert with the PKK,
which has waged a 30-year insurgency.
Sundays attack also came two days after
the U.S. Embassy issued a security warning
about a potential plot to attack Turkish government buildings and housing in one
Ankara neighborhood.

Letters to the editor

Last days of the
Republican Party
Editor,
Today, the Republican Partys existence is threatened as they struggle
against a takeover by Donald Trump.
Flashback to Jan. 20, 2009: Barack
Obamas Inauguration Day. There was
magic in the air. For the rst time, people sensed the reality of the hope and
change they believed in and enthusiastically voted for Barack Obama.
But what nobody in the huge crowd
realized was that, at that very hour,
another kind of history was also
being made, not far away: in the headquarters of the Republican National
Committee, conservative political
operatives were busy plotting how to
bring down this new young president.
They embarked on a two-fold agenda:
not only to cause his entire political
agenda to fail but also to destroy him
personally. From the very beginning
of the Obama administration, Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
and the then House minority leader,
John Boehner, made it clear they had
a different agenda. They would automatically oppose anything President
Obama put forward. There is nothing
wrong or unusual about pursuing a different political agenda. That is, after
all, the job of the opposition party:
to oppose. But the personal attacks
directed against President Obama have
been relentless and uglier than those
against other presidents in the history of America. Sarah Palin has made a
rousing endorsement of Donald
Trump, followed by the Ku Klux Klan
and other white supremacist organizations. The true colors of the
Republican Party has been exposed.
Now they are in a panic and running
for cover.

What is America to me?

Editor,
Ruben Contreras offers insights on
the idea of a new melody for the Star
Spangled Banner (Time for a new
National Anthem letter in the March 8
edition of the Daily Journal). Some traditionalists might be an exception. On
theother hand, unless a trained vocalist is singing the Star Spangled
Banner properly, many singers and
non-singers will mangle the anthem.
Which is why God Bless America,
My Country Tis of Thee, This Land
is Your Land, What Is America to
Me? are all easier for most singers.
What is especially unnerving for me
is to hear a so-called pop star belt
out a bastardized rendition of the
anthem at a globally-broadcast sports
event. But thats just me. The larger
issue, in my opinion, and a subject for
discussion, has to do with this country
itself, in 2016, 202 years after Francis
Scott Key wrote the Star Spangled
Banner. Who are we? What does
America strive to be? The U.S.A. is far
different today than when Key wrote
the poem, The Defense of Fort
McHenry, which became the lyrics for
the long-enduringNational Anthem.

Rent control laws

are not the answer
Editor,
Numerous letters have been published advocating adoption of rent
control or rent stabilization laws
without consideration of the consequences. Alleging outrageous rent
increases fails to recognize the coexisting outrageous property price
increases in our area.
Having lived under rent control and
rent stabilization laws in New York
City, I am clear about the consequences. 1). Rent-controlled apartments were rarely vacated with movein children inheriting; 2). Owners
ignored rent stabilization regulations
until caught by authorities and forced
to make refunds; 3). Even upscale
apartment buildings were minimally
maintained; 4). A conversion wave of
large rental buildings to cooperatives
ensued in the 1980s with every effort
to force tenant purchases or moves;
5). As part of the conversion plan our
owner granted himself an up-to-40
year leaseback of all commercial
space as well as for the essential
Manhattan underground garage at a
nominal annual rent of $25,000 for
our 400-plus-unit building; and 6).
The new co-op owners had to nance
the neglected major maintenance
requirements of hundreds of thousands
of dollars.
As a result of two long and costly
lawsuits brought on behalf of our
cooperative corporation, we recovered damages of approximately $1.4
million from the former owner plus
cancellation of the leaseback for the
garage, but not the similar term leaseback for the block-long group of
ground oor stores.
Driving the sale of rental units
through imposing rent controls does
not improve the availability of
affordable housing. The lack of available land for development along with
government subsidies paid by taxpayers who actually pay taxes is the real
problem.
How ironic that the Daily Journal
reported March 11 that although the
South San Francisco affordable housing project initially wanted to reserve
a group of units exclusively for city
workers, it found insufcient support
for such a proposal from those very
city workers.

Forty years
of haircuts at
Lashs Place

t was denitely a rite of passage for my two sons

when they escaped my husbands home razor kit
butch cuts and entered the world of Lash on Third
Avenue in downtown San Mateo. And it was the same for
many men, young and old, who get a haircut and conversation at Lashs Place. Lash Stevenson moved his shop to
Palm Avenue when rents zoomed. But Lash is much more
than a barber. He is an
institution. On Thursday,
St. Patricks Day, he will
be celebrating 40 years
doing business in San
Mateo. Heres his story:
My parents moved to
Downey [near Los Angeles]
when I was 8. In sixthgrade, I was getting haircuts for 50 cents from a
high school senior in his
garage. When he left for
college, I decided to ll his
shoes. I taught myself how
to do at tops and started
cutting my classmates hair
in my garage.
Lash also loved to play football. His high school team
was the Southern California champions in 1956. After
graduating in 1957, Lash joined the Navy to gain weight
and see the world. He spent eight months on an oil
tanker, gained weight so I was ready for football and
studies at San Diego State. He played freshman football
but neglected to study so he transferred to a junior college.
After several years in marketing T-shirts, sweatshirts and
food sales, he married Rosemary, a kindergarten teacher,
and went to barber school.

Obama to cut down more Cuba

barriers, but is Havana ready?

By Josh Lederman
and Michael Weissenstein
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON On his history-making trip to Cuba, President

Barack Obama plans to chop down
another set of barriers that for
generations kept Americans and
their money out of the island they
once dominated. Getting Cuba to
reopen to America is proving
harder.
Hungry for dollars but wary of
U.S. influence, Cuban President
Raul Castros government has
taken only a few cautious steps to
allow U.S. commerce and tourism
to return. Even as Obamas administration prepares to let more
Americans travel and businesses
operate in ways unimaginable just
two years ago, its unclear how far
Cubas labyrinthine bureaucracy
and socialist ideals will bend.
Its a critique of Obamas peacemaking with Cuba that has gained
fresh relevance ahead of his trip,
which opponents say rewards a
government unwilling to significantly open its economy, let
alone abandon single-party government. When it comes to human
rights and democracy, Republican
presidential candidate Marco
Rubio says that since relations
were restored, things are worse.

None of that
is
stopping
Obama
from
using his trip
starting next
weekend the
first such visit
in nearly 90
years to try
Barack Obama to push the
di p l o m a t i c
relaunch past the point of no
return before he leaves office. In a
bid to show growing momentum,
his administration is preparing to
further ease restrictions and greenlight projects by U.S. companies
in connection with the trip,
according to a half-dozen individuals familiar with the administrations plans.

Hotels
Starwood, the hotel chain whose
brands include Sheraton and
Westin, is expected to get formal
U.S. approval in the coming days,
following extensive conversations with Cuban and U.S. officials. The company has applied
for a license from Treasury
Departments Office of Foreign
Assets Control, which would
allow it to operate in Cuba despite
congressional sanctions.
The Connecticut-based chain
has explored numerous possibili-

ties that include the famed Hotel

Saratoga in central Havana, said
the individuals, who werent
authorized to discuss the plans and
requested anonymity. Yet Cubas
resistance to letting foreign companies build or own property
makes it more likely Starwood
would manage existing hotels,
not build them.
Another hurdle: Foreign business cant hire workers directly.
Employees work for a Cuban hiring agency that keeps much of
their salaries, one factor blamed
for Cuban hotels infamously substandard food and service. The
U.S. hasnt yet managed to get
Cuba to announce it will ease that
policy.
For Cuba, any American footprint
carries
uncomfortable
echoes of the decades before its
1959 revolution, when American
business and organized crime
worked hand-in-hand with U.S.backed strongmen to dominate the
islands economy and politics,
often with brutal force. For oldschool Cuban officials, U. S.
hotels, flights and cruise ships are
not just new business, but a direct
ideological challenge to a system
that sees resistance to U.S. dominance in the region as part of its
national mission.
In Congress, theres a lot of
criticism from my Republican col-

leagues about getting this or that

before going down there, said
Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt., one of
dozens of lawmakers joining
Obamas trip. But the big decision is, do you want to be engaged
or not?
A Marriott spokesman said that
chain was also hoping for
approval soon, and its CEO, Arne
Sorenson, was traveling in
Obamas delegation. Carnival
Cruise Line, which already has
U. S. approval, said it expects
Cuban approval soon after
months after waiting and plans to
sail starting May 1.
The Obama administration is
also poised to remove another
roadblock for travelers, allowing
Americans to travel independently
for educational purposes rather
than in organized, group trips.
Cuba travel experts say U.S. travel to Cuba could rise another 20
percent this year with that change.

Trip
The White House declined to
comment on any potential
announcements related to Cuba
policy or Obamas trip.
Obama also has another goal:
making it near-impossible for a
future president to halt or reverse
the new engagement that Obama
and Castro announced in 2014
after secret talks. Ben Rhodes,

Obamas deputy national security

adviser, said Americans eagerness
to experience Cuba will make it
politically untenable to pull the
plug.
I dont think were there yet,
Rhodes said in an interview. But
if we can use the remaining time to
create opportunities for U.S. businesses to operate in Cuba, with
direct flights and more Americans
traveling, and to demonstrate this
is improving the lives of ordinary
Cubans, all those factors will
make this irreversible.

Airlines
Obama is expected to come with
a series of announcements from
U. S. companies that plan to
launch operations in Cuba, particularly related to Internet and
telecommunications,
people
familiar with the planning said.
His visit also comes as the
Transportation Department prepares to award the first routes to
Cuba for U. S. airlines, likely
within months.
Aiming to show the trip didnt
signal American acquiescence on
human rights, the White House
stressed that Obama plans to meet
with Cuban dissidents that he
not Castro will pick. Hell also
meet Castro, attend a Major
League Baseball exhibition game
and deliver a major speech.

Trouble remains after failed Germanwings crash:

for-profit schools revival New rules needed for
By Jeff Horwitz

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON When one of

the countrys largest for-profit
college companies failed in 2014,
the Education Department faced a
choice. It could shut down
Corinthian Colleges Inc., incurring a $1 billion loss to taxpayers
and sending students scrambling,
or it could find someone to take
the school off its hands.
With a history of fraud discovered by auditors and investigators,
and poor outcomes for students,
the company drew only one interested buyer: a student loan debt
collection firm that had formed a
nonprofit educational company
called Zenith Education Group.
A little over one year after
Zenith took the helm, a review of
the schools operations by The
Associated Press shows that
despite ostensibly new oversight
by the Obama administration, the
business model for what had been a
failing chain of career training
schools hasnt fundamentally
changed.
The Education Department has
permitted Zenith, the new owners,
to recruit students using largescale telemarketing and paid media
campaigns that sometimes advertise programs that no longer
exist. Executives who formerly
oversaw Corinthians business
practices, which state and federal
officials said were fraudulent,
remain employed at Zenith.
As with Corinthian, Zenith still
requires students to waive their
right to sue the school in a class
action a legal power play
unheard of among traditional colleges. Zenith continues to recruit

students using the very same ads

that Corinthian ran during the
very same daytime TV talk shows.
Ominously for students and the
government, recent graduates told
the AP they are struggling to find
work that would allow them to pay
back their student loans. That raises the prospect the U.S. is seeding
a new crop of loan defaults.
I graduated in April at the top of
my class, with honors, said
Shane Satterfield, a roofer in
Georgia who now owes more than
$30,000 in debt for the associates
degree in computer science he
completed last year. And I cant
get a job paying over $8.50 an
hour.
The mess of how to deal with
Zenith and its struggling for-profit former peers is among the most
serious problems confronting the
Education Department and its new
leadership. John B. King Jr., who
was expected to win Senate confirmation late Monday as education
secretary, was hired as an adviser
in January 2015, after the department had set Zeniths path under
then-Secretary Arne Duncan.
Zenith chairman David Hawn
said some marketing practices the
AP identified were problematic,
and he acknowledged that graduates are not yet coming out of the
school with key credentials for
getting a job. But he said the
schools were on the right track.
We are spending a lot of money
to right the ship, Hawn said. He
added that Zenith had shrunk it
is down to about 15,000 students
and lost more than $100 million in its first year and expects to
lose money again in its second.
Every step were taking is in support of our quest to become a real-

ly great career school, he said.

Corinthians failure gave the
administration unprecedented say
in its relaunch.
The Department of Education
sold these schools to a firm that
had no experience in providing
education and insufficient motivation to genuinely fix the business
model, said David Halperin, a
Washington lawyer and consumer
advocate who helped identify
problems at Corinthian. It would
have been better to help existing
students find new opportunities
elsewhere.
Education
Department
Undersecretary Ted Mitchell, who
oversees colleges and vocational
schools, said the government was
raising APs findings with Zenith.
The fact is that we were able with
Zenith to provide a plan for tens of
thousands to move on, he said.
If Zenith is not doing right by its
students, we wont hesitate to
act.
Though
the
timing
of
Corinthians collapse was a surprise, the reasons for it were not:
A January 2011 whistleblower
lawsuit alleged that Corinthian
employees routinely fabricated
employers to make it appear that
unemployed graduates had landed
good jobs in their chosen careers.
A July 2012 report by the
Senate Health, Education, Labor
and Pensions committee found
that more than half of Corinthian
students dropped out.
Undercover investigators at
the Government Accountability
Office enrolled in Everest,
Corinthians flagship among its
schools, and got passing grades
for obviously plagiarized or incorrect assignments.

pilots health issues

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LE BOURGET, France
Aviation agencies around the
world should draw up new rules
requiring medical workers to warn
authorities when a pilots mental
health could threaten public safety, French investigators recommended Sunday after a yearlong
probe into the Germanwings plane
crash.
The French investigation found
that
Germanwings
co-pilot
Andreas Lubitz, who had been
treated for depression in the past,
had consulted with dozens of doctors in the weeks before he deliberately crashed a jet into the French
Alps on March 24, 2015, killing
all 150 people on board.
But none of the doctors told
authorities of any concerns about
Lubitzs mental health, Frances
BEA air accident investigation
agency said, including one who
referred Lubitz to a psychiatric
clinic just two weeks before the
crash.
Experts found that the symptoms (two weeks before the crash)
could be compatible with a psychotic episode, said Arnaud
Desjardin, leader of the BEA investigation. This information was
not delivered to Germanwings.
Because Lubitz didnt inform
anyone of his doctors warnings,
the BEA said in a statement, no
action could have been taken by
the authorities or his employer to
prevent him from flying.
The agency also said Lubitz was

using antidepressants at the time

of the crash. It said traces of antidepressive
medications
Citalopram and Mirtazapine were
found in Lubitzs remains, as well
as the sleeping medication
Zopiclone.
The U.S. National Library of
Medicine notes on its entry for
Citalopram that children and
young adults who take the drug can
become suicidal especially at the
beginning of your treatment and
any time that your dose is
increased or decreased.
Lubitz was 27 when he crashed
the plane.
Germanwings and its parent
company Lufthansa have strongly
denied any wrongdoing in the
crash, insisting that Lubitz was
certified fit to fly.
But relatives of those killed
have pointed to a string of people
they say could have raised the
alarm and stopped Lubitz, going
back to the days when he began
training as a pilot in 2008.
The BEA investigation is separate from a manslaughter investigation by French prosecutors
seeking to determine eventual
criminal responsibility for the
crash of Flight 9525 from
Barcelona to Duesseldorf. The
focus of the BEA report was recommendations to avoid such events
in the future. The agency found
that the certification process
failed to identify the risks presented by Lubitz. It said one factor
leading to the crash might have
been a lack of clear guidelines.

Magic No. 50 for Lady Bulldogs

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

TERRY BERNAL/DAILY JOURNAL

Sophomore Kaitlin Chang went 2 for 3 with an

inside-the-park home run in CSMs 50th
straight win at home, dating back to 2014.

No sooner did the College of San Mateo

softball team wrap up its 50th straight home
win did the focus shift to one simple message
on to No. 51.
The Lady Bulldogs (22-2 overall) rode the
arms of pitchers Samantha Dean and Christy
Peterson to earn their 50th consecutive home
victory with a 2-0 win over Napa Valley
College (0-11) Saturday at Bulldog Stadium.
Combating the elements the weather
held up despite a slight drizzle and a strong

crosswind Dean allowed three hits over

three innings before Peterson turned in the
finest outing of her collegiate career. The
sophomore fired four no-hit innings to earn
the win, walking two and hitting one batter.
Her record improves to 6-1.
I think they hit their spots well, CSM
head coach Nicole Borg said. The velocity
was not what it normally is, but when youre
dealing with a 21 mile-per-hour wind, that
makes it tough to do. But they changed
speeds and they were using their defense.
The Napa lineup, which was retired in order
just once all day, continually threatened but

could not manufacture a run. The Storm

stranded five runners in the game and hit into
two double plays.
CSM, on the other hand, got all the offense
it needed in the second inning when Kaitlin
Chang led off the frame with an inside-thepark home run.
While Chang technically hit three insidethe-parkers in one game last season against
City College of San Francisco, those all were
a product of CCSFs home field at Fairmont
Park not having an outfield fence. Saturdays

Padres on a mission
Serra makes statement
in Nor Cal D-II opener
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Serras letdown in the Central Coast

Section Open Division playoffs came down to
the collapse of one integral facet of the teams
up-tempo game passing.
Poor distribution is what senior forward
Jake Killingsworth attributed to Serras
March 3 loss to Bellarmine in the CCS semifinals. Since then, the running-and-gunning
Padres have righted the ship.
Serra (23-6 overall) put on a passing clinic in Saturdays Northern California
Division II boys basketball playoff opener.
The top-seeded Padres established a fluid
rhythm from the start en route to an 83-49
dismissal of No. 9 Leland (21-8).
[Bellarmine] was a tough game,
Killingsworth said. Bellarmine straight up
outplayed us. We didnt share the ball too
well in that game and we came out tonight
and were moving it around. Any time we can
do that well be OK.
Padres forward Jeremiah Testa scored a
game-high 23 points, including 19 points in
the first half. And with Testa proving the hot
hand, his Serra teammates made certain not
only to get the ball into his hands, but assure
him of wide-open looks when they did.
They looked for the hot guy, Serra head
coach Chuck Rapp said. Thats what good
teams do. I think Testa getting heated up was his
teammates seeing that and looking for him.
Point guard Lee Jones totaled a game-high
seven assists and Killinsworth added five.
And after Testa got heated up from the outside
he dropped all three of his 3-pointers in the
second quarter Serra started pounding the
paint to starting center John Besse, who
added 15 points.
But the second quarter was just icing on the
cake for the Padres, who outscored Leland 206 in the opening eight minutes. With the
game tied at 4 two minutes in, Serra went on a
16-2 run to cap the first quarter.

No. 1 for now: Oregon, Virginia

get top seeds over Michigan St.
By Eddie Pells

A topsy-turvy season in college basketball delivered a few more twists when the
brackets came out Sunday.
Exhibit A: Oregon and Virginia are No. 1
seeds, while Michigan State is not.
Exhibit B: Monmouth and Valparaiso
arent part of March Madness, but Michigan

and Syracuse are.

As usual, the NCAA selection committee
released a 68-team bracket with its fair share
of surprises. This year, the debate started
right away, when the committee named Pac12 champion Oregon a top seed in the West,
ACC runner-up Virginia a top seed in the
Midwest and made Tom Izzos Spartans,

playoffs.
That they did. And in doing so the No. 2seed Knights made quite the statement,
rolling to a 55-43 victory over No. 7
University Prep-Eureka Saturday at Menlo
School Gymnasium.
Menlo (20-7 overall) hadnt won a Nor
Cal playoff since 2013, when it reached the
Division IV semifinals. Since then, the
Knights have twice been upset on their

CSM baseball falls in 10 innings; Mastrobuoni doing Bulldogs proud

Skyline ends in 4-4 tie with CCSF as transfer at University of Nevada
By Terry Bernal

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

In a non-conference preview of
two possible playoff teams, a slew
of mound miscues caused College of
San Mateo to fall at Cabrillo 3-2 in
10 innings Saturday.
The Bulldogs (11-5 overall)
trailed twice in the game, but continued to claw their way back. In the
bottom of the 10th though, an
errant pickoff throw proved costly
as the Seahawks (10-8) scored the
walk-off win.
The CSM bullpen has proven
sturdy this season, with Brady
Navarro, Drew Revino and Mark
Quinby shouldering much of the
relief load. But after four Bulldogs
relievers combined to post five
scoreless innings, Navarro entered
in the 10th to take his first loss of
the year by virtue of an unearned
run.
Navarro opened the inning by
retiring former Sequoia infielder
Zane Gelphman. But after Nick
Ciandro produced a one-out single,
the freshman moved all the way
around to third on an errant pickoff
throw. CSM turned to closer Mark
Quinby, but sophomore Zane
Greenberg delivered a sacrifice fly
to right field to win it.
All of Carbillos runs were a result
of pitchers mistakes. With a runner
on third and two outs in the first,
CSM starting pitcher Tommy
Watanabe balked home Clayton
Andrews for the Seahawks first run.
Then, after CSM tied it in the top
of the fourth on an RBI double by
Brad Degnan, Cabrillo answered
back in the bottom of the inning.

Tony Stanich
sparked the rally
with a leadoff
single. Stanich
then advanced
to second on a
wild pitch and
scored on an
RBI single by
Brad Degnan Jordan Peabody.
Wa t a n a b e
departed after four innings. CSM
relievers Ondrej Sebek, Daniel
Slominski, Andreas Papageorge
and Reveno then combined for four
scoreless frames as CSM battled
back to tie it in the sixth.
Freshman first baseman RJ
Prince singled with one out and
advanced to second on a groundout.
Then Anders Green delivered a twoout RBI single, tying the game at 22.
The Bulldogs were held to just
one hit over the final four innings,
and totaled just five hits on the day.
Cleanup hitter Brad Degnan paced
CSM going 2 for 4 with an RBI.
The sophomore slugger out of
Woodside is batting .333 with a
team-best 16 RBIs.
Peabody paced all hitters, going
3 for 4 with an RBI for Cabrillo
while his teammates Andrews and
Ciandro added two hits each.
Saturdays game was the final
non-conference tune-up before
Coast Golden Gate Conference play
opens Tuesday. The Bulldogs travel
to Mission College at 2 p.m. for
the first of a two-game set. The
series concludes Thursday with
CSM hosting Mission at 2 p.m.

Skyline, CCSF settle for tie

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Skyline College (7-8-1) let a fourrun lead slip away and Mother Nature
intervened to halt the game after six
innings, ending in a 4-4 tie with City
College of San Francisco (2-12-1).
The Trojans surrendered just two
hits on the day, but starting pitcher
Kyle
Vallans
was snakebit by
control issues.
The sophomore
l e f t - h a n de r
yielded
four
walks and one
hit
batsman,
including a free
Kyle Vallans pass and a hit by
pitch to set up
CCSFs comeback rally in the fifth.
Vallans departed with Skyline up
4-1 with two on and one out in the
fourth, but Trojans reliever Mike
Espino was greeted by a two-run
double off the bat of James
Cullinane. After Cullinane moved
to third on a wild pitch, Jake Taylor
delivered a sacrifice fly to tie it. The
game was called one inning later
due to rain.
Skyline
sophomore
Brett
Berghammer paced all hitters with a
3-for-3 day. Designated hitter
Armando Fajardo was 2 for 4 with
an RBI. Freshman catcher Felix
Aberouette added a solo home run in
the third inning to give the Trojans
a 4-0 lead.
Skyline opens Coast Pacific
Conference play Tuesday at 2 p.m.
in the first of a two-game set
against Ohlone. The two teams
conclude the series at Thursday at
Skyline.

Through two season at College

of San Mateo, all Miles
Mastrobuoni did was produce hits.
In his first season as a junior
transfer at University of NevadaReno, the left-handed hitting middle infielder has picked up right
where he left off.
After posting a .330 career batting at CSM, Mastrobuoni entered
weekend play leading the Mountain
West Conference in batting average, while ranking 14th in nation
among all NCAA Division-I hitters. After going 4 for 12 in a weekend three-game series against
University of New Mexico,
Mastrobuoni has carved a niche out
at the top of the Wolfpack order batting .447, while in the midst of an
eight-game hitting streak.
Nevadas start in MWC play wasnt quite the success as its junior
second baseball. The Wolfpack
lost their first five conference
games prior to snapping the skid
Sunday with a 7-6 win over New
Mexico. Nevada is now 5-10 overall with a 1-5 mark in MWC play.
Its been a rough week,
Mastrobuoni said. Its nice to get
back on the winning side of things,
for sure. Weve got a chance to turn
things around now. Weve got that
winning taste in our mouth.
Prior to the three-game series at
home against New Mexico, Nevada
had played eight of nine previous
games on the road. And the Wolfpack
is right back out the door, travelling
to Moraga for a Tuesday matchup
against Saint Marys at 3 p.m.
The trip gives Mastrobuoni a

chance to rekindle an old rivalry

with Gaels outfielder Austin
Lonestar. With
M a s t r o b uo n i
hailing
from
Granada High
S c h o o l Livermore, and
Miles
Mastrobuoni Lonestar from
De La SalleDanville, the two match up plenty
in their East Bay League days. Of
course, they also played as teammates for two years at CSM.
In the NAIA ranks, Caada
College transfer Randy Ventura had
a monster series for Bethany
College-Kansas in a four-game
split with Saint Mary-Kansas. The
left-handed slugger went 9 for 14,
including a pair of 4-for-5 performances. The Puerto Rican
native Ventura is now batting .375
with two home runs and 10 RBIs.
In Division II action, Another
Caada transfer, Daly City native
Chris Miguel, went 4 for 5 in Rogers
States 10-7 win over St. Marys-San
Antonio Saturday. Miguel fell a
triple shy of the cycle, clubbing a
double and his first home run of the
year. Skyline College transfer
Ismael Orozco went 2 for 4 with an
RBI in the game and Caada transfer
and El Camino alum Josh Eclavea
picked up his fourth win of the year.
Oregon left-hander Matt Krook
didnt get out of the first inning in
Oregons 9-3 loss to Mississippi
State Saturday. The sophomore lefthander went two-thirds of an
inning, allowing five runs on two
hits while walking five. Both outs
Krook recorded were strikeouts.

He may have to do the same thing this

Im excited about where I am, he

THE DAILY JOURNAL

GIRLS HOOPS
Continued from page 11
This year, however, Menlo came out with a renewed intensity after a 10-day layoff since its last game a loss to St.
Francis-Mountain View in the consolation bracket of the
Central Coast Section Open Division playoffs.
I was a little unsure what to expect because they hadnt
played in 10 days, Menlo head coach John Paye said. And
they answered the bell.
Not only did the Knights answer the bell against U Prep
(25-6) with their swarming defense. They made it count at the
other end, knocking down 5 of 8 from beyond the arc in the
first quarter. Menlo would go on to perform better on 3-pointers than 2-pointers, shooting 39.2 percent (11 of 28) on 3s
compared to 33.9 percent overall.
It was definitely crazy, Menlo forward Mackenzie Duffner
said. We knew their zone defense was going to leave a lot of
openings. So, we were getting it up top and moving it around
as much as possible.
Duffner was one of five different Menlo players to convert
a 3-pointer in the game. On the defensive side, though, the 510 senior was the go-to girl in terms of manning up with U
Preps 6-6 center Shayley Harris.
Duffner responded to the challenge with an exceptional
performance. While Menlo was able to get Harris off the
court in the first quarter with two early fouls, the sophomore
still generated a game-high 12 rebounds. Six of those, however, came in the fourth quarter.
When Harris did check back in to start the second quarter,
the shorter Duffner muscled her way through to win positional battles all night. Ultimately, the Knights maintained a 2928 rebounding edge over the Panthers.
Meanwhile, Menlos turbo full-court press dismantled U
Prep from the outset. The Knights led wire-to-wire, much in
part to the Panthers early rash of turnovers. U Prep committed 27 turnovers to Menlos 16.
After junior guard DeJeane Stine opened the game with a 3point, the Knights opened up a quick 5-0 lead, and continued
to swarm on defense and spread the floor on offense.
Then Menlo point guard Sam Erisman got cooking. The

TERRY BERNAL/DAILY JOURNAL

junior scored a game-high 26 points, including 13 amid a
dominant Menlo first quarter. Only a running 35-foot 3pointer by U Prep senior Savanna Fernandez at the buzzer
prevented the Panthers from scoring in single digits in the
first quarter, which ended with Menlo up 24-12.
U Prep traveled with a heck of a fan base though, and its
cheering section began to ride Erisman through the second
quarter. First, after she lofted an air ball to end the first quarter, she heard air ball choruses from the Panthers faithful
every time she shot for the rest of the half. Then, when she
drew a foul at midcourt by crashing to the floor after a collision, the air ball choruses turned to flop chants.
Erisman quickly became aware she was the target of their
taunts.
How could I not hear them? Erisman said.
The junior playmaker hit back, in transition no less, with
a breathtaking turnaround fade-away jumper from nine feet
out to stake Menlo to 29-14 lead.
Then, after U Prep went on a six-point run, Erisman took
aim front and center of the Panthers rooting section as if
to coax the chants and drained a 3. And on the final play of
the half, she had an open look from the same spot, but
worked the ball around to the opposite corner for Hannah
Paye to knock down her second 3-pointer of the half to send

the Knights into the break up 35-22.

I think we got them to quiet down a little bit, Erisman
said.
Throughout the second half, Menlo never let its lead fall
below nine. With the Knights up 45-36, the Panthers had two
consecutive possessions but could not make up any more
ground. Then Erisman closed the third quarter with the dagger, drilling her fourth 3-pointer of the night to send Menlo
into the final quarter up 48-36.
In the fourth quarter, Menlo simply didnt allow U Prep to
take many shots. The Panthers didnt attempt their first shot
of the quarter until two minutes in. After two more minutes
had passed, they were just 1 for 3 from the floor in the quarter, with Menlo bolstering its lead to 54-38.
Duffner closed the night with two straight defensive gems
against Harris. First, when Harris had position to post up,
the Panthers tried to pass the ball in, only to have Duffner
swing her arm around the taller Harris and swat the ball out of
bounds. On the Panthers ensuing inbound pass to Harris,
Duffner stripped the ball for one of her four steals in the game
all in the second half to keep Harris off the scoreboard
for the night.
Fernandez and junior forward Sophia Altemus shared the
Panthers team-high with 16 points apiece. For Menlo, Stine
added 11 points and senior center Olivia Pellarin grabbed a
team-high eight rebounds.
Duffner who finished with seven points and five
rebounds said the Knights came to play because an elimination loss now would mean the end of the season.
As a senior myself, I dont know when my last game is
going to be, Duffner said. The energy is there. We just want
to make it as far as we can.
John Paye attributed the teams crisp play to fresh legs. It
also has to do with the Knights having entered this season
winning three straight CCS Division IV titles going up
against the competition of the CCS Open Division bracket
this year.
We earned our bumps and bruises in the Open bracket but
we were playing a much higher level of talent, John Paye
said. We were happy to win this one.
With the win, Menlo advances to the regional semifinals
to host No. 3 Saint Marys-Albany Tuesday at 7 p.m. The
winner will advance to the Northern California championship game this Sat., March 19.

Serra mauled the Chargers with its highintensity press, forcing seven turnovers in
the opening quarter. By the time Leland found
any kind of rhythm midway through the second, it was too late. The closest margin the
Chargers would achieve from that point was a
15-point deficit.
This time we kind of had the shock-andawe campaign, Rapp said. It got them on
their heels and it was effective.
The Padres improved the quarter-ending run
to 19-2 to open the second, when Testa
dropped his first 3-pointer of the night. The
senior opened the quarter with two 3s in the
opening minute, then Jones fed Besse underneath for a bucket to improve Serras lead to
28-8.
By the end of the half, Serra started rotating
in its second- and third-string players. The
Padres played 12 different players in the
game, with nine of them scoring points.
Junior forward Andrew Olson who saw few
minutes during the regular season totaled
eight points, equaling the scoring output of
starters Killingsworth and senior guard Miles
Todzo. Sophomore guard Henry James added
seven points
That was great, Killingsworth said.
These guys battled all season. Its a tough
role, but they do it every day and they work
hard because they put the team first. They do
it all day in practice. So, its nice to see them
get in there and get a little [playing time].
As a team, Serra shot 56 percent from the
floor. And while Killingsworth continues to
shy away from shooting the West Catholic
Athletic League Player of the Year attempted
just seven shots in the game he was a force
in every other aspect. He grabbed a gamehigh eight boards as Serra outrebounded
Leland 28-21.
Testa, meanwhile, got admonished for
some seemingly tactful antics in the third
quarter. After an officials timeout to clean
some moisture off the court which Testa
himself mopped up he haphazardly tossed
the mop off the floor, drawing a chorus of
mocking boos from the Leland fans in attendance.
Testa responded by retrieving the mop and
politely standing it against the gym wall,

Harvick edges Edwards in wild finish at Phoenix

NBA GLANCE

NHL GLANCE

Monday March 14, 2016

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AVONDALE, Ariz. For the

second time in a month, two cars
crossed the finish line seemingly
together and no one was sure who
won.
Electronic scoring and slowmotion replays put Kevin Harvick
in a familiar spot on top at Phoenix
International
Raceway,
and
NASCAR celebrated another
thrilling race to start the season.
Harvick and Carl Edwards twice
bumped on the final lap before
Harvick inched over the finish line
first by 0.01 seconds in an overtime finish Sunday for his record
eighth Sprint Cup victory at the
mile oval.
It was the same margin of victory
as Denny Hamlins over Martin
Truex Jr. last month in the Daytona
500.
Thats really what NASCAR racing is all about, Harvick said.
Youre coming to the checkered
flag and he wants to win for his
team and I want to win for my team.
Theres a lot on the line.
Harvick had the lead off a late
restart, but Edwards had two fresh
right-side tires and made it a sideby-side duel.
I knew he was better through
(Turns) 3 and 4, Harvick said.
That was not the car that I wanted
to see behind me.
Harvick, on the high side, turned
into Edwards door first to try to

the fans. When Testa responded with a playful

bow to the fans, he was slapped with a technical foul.
Serra still went on to outscore Leland in
every quarter, surpassing the 20-point plateau
in the first three. The Padres outscored the
Chargers 15-12 during garbage time throughout the fourth quarter.
With the win, Serra advances to the Nor Cal
semifinals, drawing home-court advantage
Tuesday at 7 p.m. to face No. 4 Antelope, after
the Titans downed No. 5 Newark Memorial
54-49 Saturday.
Defend the court one more time and do
something great, Rapp said of the Padres
goals. Do something historic.
That was the goal last year, but Serra fell in
the semifinals for the fourth straight season.
The last time the Padres won a Nor Cal title
was in 2005.
Weve been here before and hopefully now
we can punch it in, Rapp said.

Menlo-Atherton 57, McClymonds 53

No. 5 Menlo-Atherton (27-4) gutted out the
win over No. 4 McClymonds-Oakland (2110) in the Northern California Division I
quarterfinals.
Trailing 31-25 at the half, the Bears got
into big-time foul trouble down the stretch.
Guard Eric Norton played just 12 minutes due
to early foul trouble and ultimately fouled out
with six minutes to go. Ben Lucas later fouled
out as well.
But junior guard Kai Winterling stepped up
to score a team-high 14 points as M-A took
the lead for keeps midway through the fourth
quarter.
Center Blake Henry added 13 points and
forward Lucas Fioeretti scored 12.
With the win, M-A advances to face topseed Bellarmine Tuesday at 7 p.m. The two
team played early in the regular season, with
Bellarmine winning on a buzzer beater 5857.

Half Moon Bay 76, Liberty Ranch 52

No. 1 Half Moon Bay (29-3) erupted to
outscore No. 9 Liberty Ranch-Galt (30-2) by
a score of 22-6 in the first quarter and went on
to win the Northern California Division IV
semifinals. Cougars center Austin Hilton
scored a game-high 27 points, guard Andrew
Saffold added 15 and Tommy Nuo scored 14.
With the win, HMB advances to Tuesdays
semifinals to host No. 4 West Campus at 7
p.m.

slow
his
m o m e n t um .
Edwards returned
the favor in
what he called a
drag race, but
came up just
short.
If we had one
Kevin Harvick more lap, I
could
have
passed him clean, Edwards said.
But it just wasnt going to work
without bumping him. So I decided
to hit him as hard as I did. I really
didnt want to wreck him. I thought
I moved him enough to get by, but
its just racing.
Harvick made up for qualifying
18th by shooting toward the front
early in the race. He took the lead for
good in the No. 4 Chevrolet when
he immediately passed Edwards on a
restart with 77 laps to go.
Harvick built a lead approaching
3 seconds before Kasey Kahne hit
the wall with six laps left to bring
out the caution.
Harvick crew chief Rodney
Childers decided to stay on the track
while Edwards and others took on
two tires.
Harvick had enough fuel for the
extra two laps, but needed to do
some banging to hold off Edwards
Toyota.
I dont think theres any real
love lost between the two of us,
Harvick said. I knew that I was
going to get hit and Im going to
hit him.

I dont want to spin him out, but

you definitely want to rough him up
because thats not the guy I want to
lose to and I know he doesnt want
to lose to me.
It was another success for
NASCARs new downforce and
aerodynamic packages. Used for the
first time on a mile-track, it helped
produce plenty of passing and only
a handful of tire issues on long
green-flag runs.
Harvick led a race-high 139 laps
in the closest finish in track history. Its tied for seventh-closest
overall since NASCAR began electronic scoring in 1993.
Hamlin recovered from an early
pit penalty to finish third. Kyle
Busch, his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate, started from the pole and led
the first 77 laps before ending up
fourth.
Dale Earnhardt Jr, who ended
Harvicks four-race winning streak
at Phoenix with a rain-shortened
victory in November, was fifth.
Two days after a scary crash in
which he pulled off his steering
wheel in qualifying, Jimmie
Johnson finished 11th.
Harvick found another way to win
at his favorite track. Hes won five
of the past six races and six of eight
at Phoenix.
I just like racing here, Harvick
said. Its just one of those places
where I feel like Ive been here
enough times to where I can move
around and find something to make
our car work.

10 Cloverfield Lane opens well, but Zootopia roars

By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Moviegoers didnt have much to go on

with the mysterious 10 Cloverfield Lane, but the words
Cloverfield and J.J. Abrams were enough.
The Abrams-produced monster movie, a so-called spiritual successor to 2008s found-footage hit Cloverfield,
opened with a better-than-expected $25.2 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. That was good enough for
second place to the Disney animated hit Zootopia, which
stayed on top with $50 million in its second week, a slide
of only 33 percent from its opening weekend.
The weekends biggest disappointment was Sacha Baron
Cohens Brothers Grimsby, which flopped with a mere
$3.2 million. Its a career low box-office debut for the
shape-shifting British comedian by a wide margin.
Perhaps sensing trouble, Sony Pictures had postponed
the release date of the R-rated comedy numerous times.
Whereas Cohens most popular characters Borat and Ali
G were deployed largely to satirize America, moviegoers
showed less enthusiasm for the British parody of Brothers
Grimsby, a poorly reviewed R-rated, U.K.-set spy comedy.

Top 10 movies
1.Zootopia, $50 million ($83.1
million international).
2.10 Cloverfield Lane,$25.2 million ($1.5 million international).
3. Deadpool, $10.8 million
($11.3 million international).
4.London Has Fallen,$10.7 million ($12 million international).
5.Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, $4.6
million.
6.The Perfect Match, $4.2 million.
7.The Young Messiah,$3.4 million.
8. The Brothers Grimsby, $3.2
million
9. Gods of Egypt, $2.5 million
($26.4 million international).
10.Risen, $2.3 million.

With the multiplexes

stuffed with R-rated
offerings (Deadpool,
London Has Fallen,
Whiskey
Tango
Foxtrot),
the
acclaimed Zootopia
has had family audiences all to itself. The
film, which imagines a
metropolis inhabited
by animals, will have
little
competition
before The Jungle
Book arrives in midApril.
Taking in $83.1 million internationally
over the weekend,
Zootopia has already
made more than $430
million globally.
With the market-

place loaded with R-rated fare, if youre a family with kids,

the only game in town right now is Zootopia, said Paul
Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for comScore.
The directorial debut of Dan Trachtenberg, 10
Cloverfield Lane, arrived with the opposite kind of hoopla
that preceded Abrams previous film, Star Wars: The Force
Awakens. The release of 10 Cloverfield Lane, made for
just about $13 million, wasnt much advertised until an
ominous Super Bowl spot.

The Clean Water Program will
not only support more than
90,000 San Mateo residents, it
will also serve thousands in Foster

Sanitation District all who rely
on their wastewater to be treated at

Foster City, a 25 percent owner
of the treatment plant, is slated to
contribute about $107 million and

Zammit said.

Having recently visited the

its clear the facilities need to be

Our wastewater treatment plant

Papan said. Its kind of a two-fold
issue. Our community is growing

Man arrested for Iditarod crashes

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANCHORAGE, Alaska A man suspected

of intentionally driving a snowmobile into
teams of two mushers near the front of the
Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race has been arrested in a Yukon River village.
Arnold Demoski, 26, of Nulato, was
arrested Saturday on suspicion of assault,
reckless endangerment, reckless driving and
six counts of criminal mischief.
Demoski said he was returning home from a

modernization is just imperative.

Zammit noted the council has
made various sustainability measures a priority and the city is doing
more than just meeting the bare
minimum. One example is a new
digester that will turn biogas created as part of the treatment
process into compressed natural
gas, which will be used to fuel city
vehicles.
Last August, the council changed
from a 20-year capital improvement project to 10 years and
moved to incorporate new technology that will help meet future
regulatory requirements, Zammit
said.
Were trying to update to stateof-the-art technology so it doesnt
become obsolete before weve
even paid it off, Zammit said.
And paying off a nearly $770
million project is expected to take
time.
Corbett said the city is hopeful
it will be able to join a state
revolving loan fund that offers a
much lower interest rate than that

from the private sector. The city

approved the three-year $70 million line of credit as an interimfinancing mechanism that provided the most flexibility when compared to other options. If the state
approves San Mateos application, which is expected to take
about 18 months, Corbett said it
could cost only half as much as if
it had financed through a private
lender.
When youre talking about a
project of this magnitude, saving
1 or 2 percent is a significant
amount of money, Corbett said,
noting ratepayers may feel less of
a hit as well if the city can stretch
out the loan. That will help
smooth out the rates. Well complete [construction] over 10 years,
but the debt will be over a longer
period of time.

anticipate low- to mid-level double-digit increases for several

years, Zammit said.
With residents and businesses
using less water during the
drought, its also affecting the
citys revenue from sewer rates,
which is based on consumption,
according to Zammit and Corbett.
There are a variety of issues to
discuss and the entire Clean Water
Program incorporates multiple
projects that will affect thousands
of residents across the region, so
public forums are scheduled later
this month.
Neighborhood meetings will be
held 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. March 22

and Jeff Kings teams early Saturday morning.
The crashes killed one of Kings dogs and
injured at least two others. One of Zirkles
dogs also was injured. Iditarod officials at
first reported King had been injured. But the
four-time champion said later the snowmobile had missed both him and his sled.
Demoski said when he woke up Saturday
morning and heard what had happened to the
mushers, he checked his snowmobile and
realized he had done it.

MARINA
Continued from page 1
that calls for it to develop a plan by
2016 to relocate the residents there if
the State Lands Commission rules
against its existence.
Mayor John Seybert has crafted a
letter to state Controller Betty T. Yee,
the chair of the State Lands
Commission; Assemblyman Kevin
Mullin, D-South San Francisco; and
state Sen. Jerry Hill-D-San Mateo;
spelling out the citys desire to develop a legislative solution.
It seemed like the right amount of
time to figure out the next steps,
Seybert said Friday about the 15-year
time limit.
Seybert hopes the State Lands
Commission will find the request reasonable.
If not, the city must have a plan in
place for relocation and be able to
implement it by 2017.
Its a healthy, compassionate
amount of time to transition, Seybert
said about the 15 years.
Docktown resident Lee Callister said
many who live at the marina now will
appreciate the extra time to remain
there.
A lot of people will think its good
to have 15 years as opposed to having

GOALS
Continued from page 1
and moderate-income housing.
The goal setting session was a
good reaffirmation of the direction we
set in [2014]. It was a reaffirmation
that were heading in the right direction, said Mayor Eric Reed. One of
the big items that Im very passionate
about, that actually got me into city
politics to begin with, was the optimization of Belmonts remodeling
ordinance and tree ordinance. So optimizing those ordinances to maximize
benefits for Belmonts families is
huge. I would say thats my number
one goal for 2016.
Although it passed amendments to
the rules governing how single-family
homeowners can remodel last year,
concerned citizens passed a referendum
to overturn the regulations. Now, the
city is continuing to make updates it
hopes will ease growing families
ability to remodel after hosting public
forums and breaking the amendments
into groups it will consider one at a
time.
Another issue the council is hopeful

to leave right away, Callister said

Friday.
Redwood City has been the trustee of
Redwood Creek and tidelands since
1954 and took over operating the
marina in 2013 after its then owner
Fred Earnhardt Jr. opted to no longer
oversee the harbor, which had fallen
into disrepair.
It has about 70 liveaboards on the
property now and many residents have
urged the city to slow down on any
plans related to Docktown until the
State Lands Commission makes a formal ruling on whether it should stay.
Staff at the commission has repeatedly stated, however, that Docktown is
essentially an illegal use of the creek.
The citys Inner Harbor Specific
Plan contains a scenario in which the
marina would be relocated to nearby
private property at the Ferrari pond.
But Docktown residents say there is no
guarantee they would be allowed to
relocate there.
The Ferrari owner appears to want to
build a more upscale marina like in
Sausalito, if permitted.
The legislation Redwood City is
seeking would balance the hardship
of requiring near-term relocation of all
tenants with the public need for greater
recreational access to the area,
Seybert wrote in the letter.
The city is asking the commission
to allow Docktown to remain in place
it will make progress on this year is
implementing new policies to address
the affordable housing crisis. After a
recent hour-long study session, the
council realized it needed much more
time to consider a range of options
from implementing developer fees to
partnering with local nonprofits.
I think it was made clear that affordable housing is a priority, Vice
Mayor Charles Stone said. It makes
me happy that were moving fast, but
were also told it would be a series of
meetings before we get to vote on anything.
Another priority carried on from previous years is undertaking improvements to one of the citys busiest thoroughfares as part of the Ralston
Avenue Corridor plan. After studying
the diverse east-west road heavily used
by commuters and sprinkled with
schools, senior housing complexes
and churches; the city is now seeking
funds to implement projects for all
modes of transportation.
Stone noted he hopes to continue
looking at making it safer and less
congested.
Finalizing the Belmont Village
Specific Plan and updating the citys
General Plan are other lasting priori-

for 15 years with the following conditions:

The city would prohibit new tenants, new liveaboard watercrafts and
transfer of existing watercraft at
Docktown;
The city would mandate that all
liveaboard watercrafts be owner-occupied or city owned. No subleases would
be allowed; and
The city would report to the State
Lands Commission regularly on the
status of Docktown and public access
improvements in the area.
Callister, however, rents slips from
the city for three vessels and the
owner-occupied condition does not
work for him as he rents out the vessels to others.
I support myself with my rentals. I
will lose income and cant afford to
stay here. I cant afford to do anything, Callister said.
Private residential use of public trust
lands is not allowed under state law.
The city also contends it is losing
money by managing the marina.
If the council approves sending the
letter to the commission, city staff
will work with Mullins and Hills
offices on the timing of the legislation.
The Redwood City Council meets 7
p.m., Monday, March 14, City Hall,
1017 Middlefield Road.
ties reaffirmed by the council.
Im excited to work on the downtown specific plan and get that done
by the end of the year. I think thats
going to set the conditions for folks
to want to come and do business with
us and create the downtown that we all
want, Stone said.
Reed noted hes hopeful significant
progress will be made on some key
redevelopment sites that may promote
transit-oriented principles near downtown. Two new housing projects could
be closer to fruition with the council
recently approving a mixed-use development along El Camino Real near
Davey Glen and in the midst of negotiating the sale of its Firehouse Square
property near downtown.
While adapting to changes and
growth are sprinkled with the councils final goal and priority list, Reed
noted he wants to ensure preserving
Belmonts character is paramount.
Maintaining Belmonts open space
is critical to maintaining a high quality of life for Belmont residents, Reed
said. While its really important that
we optimize our remodeling ordinance
and tree ordinance, I think its equally
important to maintain Belmonts pristine open space.

NCAA
Continued from page 11
champs of the Big Ten, a 2.
Theyll decide it on the court. The tournament starts Tuesday with a pair of openinground games. The main draw begins
Thursday at eight sites. The Final Four is
April 2 and 4 in Houston.
In a season in which six teams held the
top spot in The Associated Press poll
one short of the record there was no
doubt there would be some debate about who
belonged in the four top spots. That Big 12
and Atlantic Coast Conference champions
Kansas and North Carolina earned two of
the spots wasnt that surprising. The rest of
it raised eyebrows.
There were no easy choices for the committee this season, and the way the big
slate of conference tournaments played out
only emphasized the way this season has
gone. Of the 31 postseason tournaments,
top seeds only won 10.
That gave automatic spots to bubble
teams (or less) such as Fresno State,
Gonzaga and Connecticut, while squeezing
out a few spots bubble spots even
though there were two more available this
season because Louisville (and Rick
Pitino) and SMU (and Larry Brown) are
both ineligible.

Cal opens Friday against Hawaii

The mock drafts project Ivan Rabb and
Jaylen Brown as potential top-10 picks
later this year. Both play for Cal. So, did
the fourth-seeded Bears underachieve by
going 23-10 and finishing tied for third in
the Pac-12? Well find out starting Friday
when they open against No. 13 Hawaii.
Other tournament players who could soon
be starring on an NBA team near you:
Brandon Ingram (Duke), Kris Dunn
(Providence) and shooting guard Buddy
Hield (Oklahoma), the nations secondleading scorer at 25 points a game.

TERRY BERNAL/DAILY JOURNAL

Left: CSM shortstop Meagan Wells guns to

first on the last play of Saturdays 2-0 win over
Napa, the Bulldogs 50th straight at home.
Above: Christy Peterson fires a pitch en route
to four no-hit innings to earn the victory.

CSM
Continued from page 11
dash around the base paths was her first such
homer at CSM.
Changs homer came on a smash over the
third-base bag that ricocheted off the angled
fence down the left-field line and past Napas
left fielder. As the ball rolled all the way to the
outfield wall, Chang picked up the third-base
coach Borg, who was waving her all the way.
Kaitlin is a hustler right out of the gate,
Borg said. She was at second before that hit
the outfield fence. So, that was awesome.
The Bulldogs added an insurance run in the
third after a gritty at-bat by No. 2 hitter
Jordan Davis. With CSMs best power threat
on deck in the person of Harlee Donovan,
Davis locked up with Napa starting pitcher

Taya de Alba for an 11-pitch at-bat. Davis

won the battle when she drilled a fastball to
the center-field wall for a double.
Donovan followed with a rocket to left that
the Napa left fielder played into an RBI double, scoring Davis to make it 2-0.
De Alba settled in from there, going the
distance in taking the loss. The freshman
right-hander mixed up speeds all day and had
CSM hitters consistently moving up to the
front of the batters box.
The Bulldogs managed seven hits in the
game, matching their season-low at home.
I feel like it was more on us than being
defeated by the pitcher, Davis said.
Peterson then emerged to ride the two-run
margin to victory. The Bulldogs starting second baseman for the past two seasons,
Peterson hadnt pitched since was 13. Going
into last season, though, she intended to
serve as a two-way player until she injured her
hip, effectively ending her chances of returning to the pitching circle as a freshman.

With CSM graduating a pair of sophomore

arms after last season, Peterson resolved to
get back into the pitching rotation. She has
thrown 39 innings on the three-woman staff,
trailing Dean (60 innings pitched) and freshman Morgan Jones (49 2/3 innings).
Peterson is now just one win shy of the other
two arms, with Dean and Jones touting seven
wins apiece this season.
I think we did well, Peterson said of
CSMs pitching performance Saturday. We
held it down.
CSMs home winning streak started April
8, 2014 with a 9-0 win over Mission
College. Since then, CSM has lost just six
games all on the road with four of
those losses coming in the state championship tournament.
It doesnt feel like [playing at home or
on the road] is ever really that different,
Davis said. But when we come home, we
get a little more energy. And the streak, we
want to keep it going.
