Schools to increase fees for new developments

Burlingame schools ask for more money to address concerns caused by enrollment growth
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

In an effort to offset escalating

costs caused by projected enrollment hikes, officials in the
Burlingame Elementary School
District are considering increasing the fees charged to developers
building new homes and office

space in the area.

District officials are recommending the Board of Trustees
approve hiking the fees for developing residential property to
$3.36 per square foot and commercial or office space to 54 cents per
square foot, at the meeting
Tuesday, March 10.
The fee hikes are necessary to

pay for school facility costs,

associated with the expected
enrollment boost that will be driven by new jobs and homes coming
to Burlingame, according to a district report.
Assistant Superintendent Gaby
Hellier said the district needs a
dedicated, local source of funding
to cope with increasing prices of

doing business in Burlingame.

The cost of providing additional space has gone up quite a bit,
she said. And the price of construction has gone up dramatically, and the state isnt providing
any funding.
Hellier said should the board
approve the rate increases, developers would either pay the district

directly, or submit the fees

through the process of pulling
building permits from the city.
Enrollment projections show
the student population is expected
to grow by 63 students over the
next five years, to 3,363 students,
further impacting district facili-

Tennis players rally for Central Park courts

San Mateos proposed update of downtown amenity could remove facilities
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

As city officials consider the

future of San Mateos Central Park,
a group of tennis players are starting a petition drive to save the
downtown courts.
In the midst of updating the
Master Plan for the 16-acre park,
the city has released three conceptual designs inspired by community outreach that will guide future
improvements at the downtown
amenity. While the maps vary and
aspects of each may ultimately be
included in the final proposal, all
propose removing the six tennis
courts currently atop the under-

ground parking structure at the

park along Fifth Avenue just east
of El Camino Real.
Although the city doesnt currently have funds set aside for construction, the update of the 33year-old Master Plan will determine what types of improvements
are eventually implemented at the
citys premier park.
Surprised that the heavily used
courts could be demolished, San
Mateo resident and co-founder of
San Mateo Tennis Shop Jason Gan
started the petition thats been
signed by 185 people as of
Monday.
With its close proximity to
bustling downtown San Mateo and

The San Carlos City Council

voted unanimously Monday night
to pursue purchasing about 25
acres of open space with bond proceeds that city residents will have
to approve this November.
The council picked the option
over fixing the citys streets and
potholes, which rank in the bottom third of cities in the county
just ahead of Belmont.
Over the next two months, the
city will continue to survey residents on the type of bond measure
they would most likely support.

Residents have made it clear that

a bond measure must be no more
than $29 per $100, 000 of
assessed value of their home and
that extensive public outreach
must be made before the council
votes to put a bond measure on the
November ballot, according to a
staff report.
The council opted to pursue purchasing
undeveloped Black
Mountain, Rollieri and Vista Del
Grande properties, which are all
on the market for sale now.
The owners can sell the land
from under us at any time, City
Manager Jeff Maltbie said.

Belmont City Hall to begin summer internship program

By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

In seeking to engage youth in extracurricular leadership opportunities, Belmont officials are coordinating with Carlmont High
School to offer a summer internship program
at City Hall.
As Silicon Valley continues to attract those
interested in technology and computer science
fields, opportunities for students to learn
about local government and how it shapes
their lives is vital, said Mayor David
Braunstein, a Carlmont social studies teacher.
With information and tech and bio and all
those gaining headlines and big money, its
nice to see people interested in community
service and local government and recognize
how important that is as well. So Im excited,
Braunstein said.
Councilman Charles Stone said he was
contacted last year by Carlmont student
Alan Yan, who initiated the internship program, and is excited city staff has agreed to
take on five summer interns. The six-week
summer program will offer students an
opportunity to work directly with city staff
in the City Clerks Office as well as in the
Public Works, Parks and Recreation,
Information Technology and Human

Resources departments, Stone said.

I think a lot of people dont understand
how much local government actually touches
their lives and I think the opportunity for students who are so impressionable to get an up
close look to see what it takes to run the city.
I think thats a fantastic opportunity for
them and helps frame their view of how they
world works going forward, Stone said.
Students with a minimum 3.0 GPA can apply
and will be interviewed by Carlmont teachers
and eventually selected by city staff running
the program, Stone said.
Braunstein said the City Council has been
extremely supportive in giving students
opportunities to get involved in their community through government including having a
Parks and Recreation Youth Commission and
recently hosting a workshop where about 30
students gathered to provide input last month
on the citys General Plan Update.
Braunstein said the City Hall internship
will help bolster students education by providing them opportunities one cant find in a
classroom setting.
You can try to bring in ideas and debates
and stories and history, statistics all sort of
things, you can bring into the classroom. But
every environment is different and bringing a
student into city government at the local level

gives them a unique perspective that they

could never get in the classroom, Braunstein
said.
Kris Govani, a business teacher and work
experience coordinator at Carlmont, said
interested sophomores and juniors can apply
and must attend at least two of three upcoming
breakfast meetings starting at 8 a.m. this
Wednesday.
Unfortunately, Carlmont student Yan, who
inspired the program with Stone and was very
active in politics, will be graduating this year
and cant apply, Govani said.
Govani said theyre hoping to attract a
diverse group and the schools Parent Teacher
Association has even agreed to contribute
funds for students who may need assistance
purchasing a professional wardrobe or bus
passes to travel to City Hall.
Govani agreed with Stone and Braunstein
that the new high school internship program
could benefit the students and community.
I think city government is often overlooked as a viable option; especially in this
kind of unaffordable Bay Area, Govani said.
But theres really a lot of good opportunities
there to serve and I think thats overlooked.
And this puts this front and center.
Stone added he hopes the Carlmont program
will be a model for other schools and cities to
partner to offer educational leadership opportunities to students.
Im just incredibly excited for the opportunities these kids are going to have. I think its
going to be great for City Hall and for the kids
to learn about what it takes to run a city from
the ground floor, Stone said. I hope its a
success and we continue it for many years
going forward.
The City Council will discuss the internship
program at its meeting 7 p.m. Tuesday, March
10, at City Hall, 1 Twin Pines Lane.

The procedure is simple and may take less than 60 minutes. In

many cases , patients can utilize their existing dentures, and may
not require new dentures utilizing this system.

San Carlos property recovered after

cops chase vehicle with stolen plates
Property stolen from four cars in a San
Carlos parking lot Friday afternoon was
recovered in Alameda County early Saturday
morning after sheriffs deputies chased a car
with stolen plates and arrested the driver.
Deputies with the San Carlos bureau of the
San Mateo County Sheriffs Office responded around 4:55 p.m. Friday to the Ross
Stores parking lot at 1119 Industrial Road
to find that windows had been smashed on
four parked cars.
Valuables left in plain sight, including
laptops, handbags, backpacks and a purse,
had been stolen. The suspect had already
gotten away and was last seen driving north
on Industrial Road, according to the
Sheriffs Office.
Then around 2 a.m. Saturday, Alameda
County sheriffs officials notified deputies
in San Mateo County that the stolen property had been recovered after a pursuit involving a vehicle displaying stolen plates.
The vehicle crashed and Stacy Hawthorne,
a 22-year-old San Francisco man, was taken
into custody after a brief foot chase, San
Mateo County sheriffs spokeswoman
Deputy Rebecca Rosenblatt said.
Hawthorne was taken into custody in
Oakland and is set to be arraigned in

him and subdued him before police arrived,
according to the District Attorneys Office.
The couple also have two toddlers.
His wife told Espinola that she wanted to
divorce him and he agreed to move out. He
returned to the home later that night, however, and accused his wife of cheating on
him. He also threatened to kill the entire
family if the wife did not take care of the
kids, according to the District Attorneys

San Francisco police probe
double homicide near playground
SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco
police are investigating the killing of two
young men shot to death sitting in car
parked near a playground in a violenceplagued neighborhood.
Police received a call about the shootings
in the citys Crocker Amazon neighborhood
at about 9:36 a. m. Monday. A police
spokesman said the victims are men in their
20s. The suspects were also described as
men in their 20s. Full descriptions of the
suspects were not available.
No arrests have been made. A motive in
the shooting was not immediately available
Monday.
In January, four young men were shot to
death while sitting in a stolen car in the
Hayes Valley neighborhood. Police are
searching for the killers in that case as well
and suspect a gang connection.

Park Service floats plan to move

Alcatraz ferry to Fort Mason
SAN FRANCISCO Residents of an
upscale San Francisco neighborhood are
complaining about plans to move the
Alcatraz ferry from its longtime home on
the Embarcadero to Fort Mason because it
would snarl traffic in the wealthy residential
neighborhood and hurt businesses on
Fishermans Wharf that depend on the ferry
traffic.
The ferry carries 1.7 million passengers
annually to Alcatraz.
National Park Service officials say the
move may be necessary if they cant reach
agreement with the Port of San Francisco on
a 50-year lease at a site near the wharf.
An environmental study lists Fort Mason
as one of three possible locations for the
Alcatraz ferry terminal, along with its current
location at the piers, where the ferries were
based until 2006 when Hornblower Yachts
was awarded the contract over Blue & Gold
Fleet.

Fair Oaks could add middle school classes

Redwood City school is considering expanding, under the request of residents
school curriculum, according to the report.

By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

At the request of parents who wish for

more comprehensive elementary schools
in Redwood City, middle school classes
may be coming to Fair Oaks Elementary
School, according to a district report.
The district Board of Trustees can
approve adding sixth-, seventh- and
eighth-grade classes to the campus located
east El Camino Real, at 2950 Fair Oaks
Ave. at the board meeting Wednesday,
March 11.
District officials cited the expressed
interest of parents who wish to see Fair
Oaks Elementary expand into a comprehensive campus as impetus for their recommendation.
The district sent out more than 200 surveys asking parents whether they would
support adding middle school classes to
Fair Oaks Elementary, and only one person opposed the idea, according to the
report.
Superintendent Jan Christensen said in
an email the districts recommendation to
expand the school is a direct response to
residents requests.
We strive to listen to our community
and provide options that local parents are
asking for, she said.
Trustee Shelly Masur said parents from
the region surrounding Fair Oaks
Elementary have advocated for developing
middle school classes at the campus,
because there are no other middle schools
in the area, and transporting students
across the city can be difficult.
There has been a desire by parents who
live on the east side of town to have middle school options closer to home, she
said.
If the board approves adding middle

school classes, the transition would begin
next year, said Principal Josh Griffith.
He said the community response to the
surveys and support for adding the new
classes has been unprecedented in the Fair
Oaks community.
The parents are just thrilled about the
school, and how it is building community, he said.
Griffith said there is sufficient space on
the campus to add three new classes over
subsequent years, which could ultimately
bring about 90 new students to the current
enrollment of roughly 350 students.
District spokeswoman Naomi Hunter
noted Roosevelt and Taft elementary
schools recently underwent similar transitions without substantial difficulties.
The decision to add middle school classes is the culmination of a process that
began in the 2011-12 school year, when a
committee of parents and staff began
examining issues facing the district that
impacted enrollment, said Christensen.
A districtwide survey in 2012 showed 61
perfect of families in the district preferred
a comprehensive, K-8 school configuration.
Adding more middle school options for
families who live east of El Camino was
one of the priorities identified by the committee, and we are pleased we have been
able to expand the grades offered at both
Taft and Fair Oaks as a result of the work
done by this committee, she said.
If approved, the district would hire one
new teacher in each of the following three
years to teach all disciplines of a middle

will approach that model, and give our

children a structured, rigorous, varied program of instruction, according to the
report.
Masur said it will be important for district staff, including teachers at other
schools, to assist the first teacher of middle school classes at Fair Oaks, should the
expansion be approved.
When you have a program that is really
going to rely on a teacher, you have to
make sure that you put the right support in
place, she said.
Parents of fifth-graders surveyed by the
district expressed overwhelming interest
in adding middle school classes to Fair
Oaks, as only one parent of 54 opposed
the proposal, according to the report.
Of the more than 200 parents of students
between kindergarten and fourth-grade,
again, only one parent opposed the proposal of adding sixth-, seventh- and
eighth-grade.
District personnel support the transition as well, according to the report.
All comments were positive about the
idea, according to the report.
Masur said the district strives to offer a
variety of schools that the community
requests.
We try to provide good choices for our
families, she said.
The Board of Trustees meet Wednesday,
March 11, at 750 Bradford St. The meeting
begins at 7 p.m.

Menendez case would test
Justice Department anti-corruption unit
WASHINGTON A criminal prosecution of Sen. Bob
Menendez would represent a major test for a Justice
Department anti-corruption unit that recently scored the
conviction of a former Virginia governor, but endured humbling setbacks in cases against two former U.S. senators.
The New Jersey Democrat is expected to face criminal
charges in the coming weeks over his ties to a Florida eye
doctor who is also a longtime friend and political donor, a
person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.
Menendez denied wrongdoing and said he has served honorably in his more than 20 years in Congress.
Behind the effort to charge Menendez is the Justice
Departments Public Integrity Section, a unit created nearly
40 years ago to prosecute government officials for abusing
the public trust.

Barack Obama delivers remarks at the National League of Cities annual Congressional City
Conference in Washington, D.C.

Obama calls for effort to boost

high-tech training and hiring
By Jim Kuhnhenn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Targeting stagnant

wages in an otherwise improving economy,
President Barack Obama on Monday called
on employers, educational institutions and
local governments to develop a home grown
high technology workforce that could help
drive up higher-income employment.
The effort aims to attack a stubborn downside of the current economic recovery and fill
what the White House says is a gaping
demand for high-tech workers in the United
States. Weve got to keep positioning ourselves for a constantly changing global
economy, Obama said in announcing his
TechHire initiative at a gathering of the
National League of Cities. If were not producing enough tech workers, over time thats
going to threaten our leadership in global
innovation, which is the bread and butter of
the 21st century economy.
Obama has obtained commitments from
more than 300 employers as well as local
governments in 21 regions of the country to
train and hire low-skilled workers for jobs in
software development, network administration and cybersecurity.
Under the program, the Obama administration will provide $100 million in competitive grants to joint initiatives by employers,
training institutions and local governments
that target workers who dont have easy

access to training. The money comes from

fees companies pay to the government to
hire higher-skilled foreign workers under the
H-1B visa program.
Too many Americans think these jobs are
out of their reach, that these jobs are only in
places like Silicon Valley or that they all
require an advance degree in computer science. Thats just not the case, said Jeff
Zients, director of the White House National
Economic Council. Among the communities
that have pledged to participate are New York
City, Louisville, Detroit, Nashville, San
Francisco, and Kansas City, Missouri.
The initiative is designed to prepare U.S.
workers for a growing number of technology
jobs. According to the White House, of the 5
million jobs available today, more than half
a million are in those fields.
Critics say U.S.workers are being hurt by
immigration policies designed to let companies hire high-skilled foreign workers.
The problem is not that Americans arent
qualified to fill tech jobs, as the White House
suggests, but that the H-1B and similar visas
are being used in place of hiring qualified
Americans, said Stephen Miller, a
spokesman for Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions
of Alabama, the chairman of a Senate subcommittee n immigration. America is home
to the worlds most talented IT workers, but
these highly-trained and extremely talented
individuals have seen their careers dashed by
unfair guest-worker policies.

NEW YORK Hillary Rodham Clintons

silence on the email controversy swirling
around her is getting louder by the day.
On Monday, the potential 2016
Democratic presidential candidate ignored
the issue at a forum while a second
Democratic senator urged her to speak out
and predicted she will about her decision
to conduct business while secretary of state
in a private email account. Republicans are
ramping up their attention on the issue.
At the White House, spokesman Josh
Earnest said President Barack Obama indeed
knew she was using a nongovernment
account during her tenure. Obama had indicated earlier that he only learned of that
from recent news reports.
Earnest said the president actually learned
from those news reports of Clintons privately run email server, but was familiar

with her private account

earlier because the two
had exchanged emails
when she was in office.
Obama did not know at
the time that she was
using private email
exclusively,
Earnest
said.
Clinton spoke at a
Hillary Clinton
carefully choreographed
two-hour event involving her No Ceilings
project at the Clinton Foundation, highlighting economic and educational opportunities for women and girls. She took no
questions. When she sat down to lead more
informal conversations with invited speakers, participants appeared to be reading
from teleprompters.
The Republican National Committee used
the vacuum Monday to keep the pressure on
Clinton, noting a State Department policy
requiring all outgoing employees to turn
over job-related materials before leaving.

Major survey shows gun ownership declining

By Emily Swanson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The number of

Americans who live in a household with at
least one gun is lower than its ever been,
according to a major American trend survey
that finds the decline in gun ownership is
paralleled by a reduction in the number of
Americans who hunt.
According to the latest General Social
Survey, 32 percent of Americans either own
a firearm themselves or live with someone
who does, which ties a record low set in
2010. Thats a significant decline since the
late 1970s and early 1980s, when about half

of Americans told researchers there was a

gun in their household.
The General Social Survey is conducted by
NORC, an independent research organization based at the University of Chicago,
with money from the National Science
Foundation. Because of its long-running
and comprehensive set of questions about
the demographics, behaviors and attitudes
of the American public, it is a highly regarded source of data about social trends.
Data from the 2014 survey was released
last week, and an analysis of its findings on
gun ownership and attitudes toward gun permits was conducted by General Social
Survey staff.

Republicans try to
undercut nuclear deal
with warning to Iran

NATION/WORLD

THE DAILY JOURNAL

By Bradley Klapper and Deb Riechmann

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Republican lawmakers warned the leaders of Iran on Monday that any nuclear deal they cut with
President Barack Obama could expire the day he leaves
office. The White House denounced the GOPs latest effort to
undercut the international negotiations as a rush to war.
Mondays open letter from 47 GOP senators marked an
unusually public and aggressive attempt to undermine
Obama and five world powers as negotiators try to strike an
initial deal by the end of March to limit Irans nuclear programs.
Republicans say a deal would be insufficient and unenforceable, and they have made a series of proposals to undercut or block it from requiring Senate say-so on any agreement to ordering new penalty sanctions against Iran or even
making a pre-emptive declaration of war.
Obama, noting that some in Iran also want no part of any
deal, said: I think its somewhat ironic that some members
of Congress want to make common cause with the hardliners in Iran. Its an unusual coalition.
The letter was written by freshman Sen. Tom Cotton of
Arkansas, who opposes negotiations with Iran. Its
addressed to the Leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran
and presents itself as a constitutional primer to the government of an American adversary. Senate Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell of Kentuckys signature is on it, as are
those of several prospective presidential candidates.

A positive step for

the California GOP

was not raised to be an advocate for the rights of

same-sex couples. Oddly enough, this was in spite of
the fact that I grew up in the Bay Area the region
known for the legendary Harvey Milk and being the focal
point for the rights of same-sex couples. It was not that I
did not have an equal respect and admiration for same-sex
couples, for I knew of many well-accomplished men and
women of various sexual orientations throughout the country. Nor was this because I grew up in a religious institution
enshrined in the belief that marriage should be between a
man and a woman a belief that I still share today. It was
primarily because I never had the privilege of developing
and cultivating a friendship with my gay peers for much of
my early life.
It was not until I attended
Howard University, in
Washington, D.C., that I developed a genuine friendship with a
gay individual. He was bright,
funny, articulate and ardent about
his political and social beliefs. I
realized that although he and I
did not share all of the same
beliefs, he unquestionably
deserved to be treated with equal
respect, candor and the rights of
any other citizen of our great
Jonathan Madison
country regardless of his creed
or sexual orientation. Reinforced was the notion that he
was a person rst just like you and I. Our races, socioeconomic status and sexual orientations possessions that
have given many throughout history an excuse to disregard
the rights of others are all secondary factors.
Those thoughts resurfaced at the California Republican
Party Convention in Sacramento, where the state party
would vote on whether to charter the Log Cabin
Republicans a conservative group which has advocated
for the rights of same-sex couples and to have a more inclusive GOP since the 1970s. While the Log Cabin
Republicans have contributed a substantial amount of
resources and efforts to aid the party over the last four
decades, the party has remained intransigent with regard to
ofcially chartering an organization that advocates for the
rights of same-sex couples.
You see, this was not the rst time this issue had come
up, but this would surely be a dening moment for the state
party for years to come the question of whether to charter a group that openly embraced LGBT ideals. It goes without saying that the party has been signicantly criticized
for a large segments non-acceptance of the LGBT community. Those criticisms resurfaced in the debates that took
place prior to the vote.
There is a civil rights movement brewing within our
party . . . youre about to witness it culminate or die in a
few minutes. That is what a young woman to my left said
to me just before the vote was taken on whether to charter
the Log Cabin Republican group. Of course, her sentiments
were not news to me. Much of the audience knew the vote
that was coming and the impact it would have on the
partys brand for years to come.
At the announcement of the vote, tensions in the large
auditorium escalated so quickly that many, including
myself, had to make a seat adjustment, take a deep breath
and look around at how the other hundreds of delegates in
the room reacted. The very thought of taking a vote on the
issue among a mystery group of supporters and opposers
made some cringe. Many knew what was at stake this
wouldnt just be a vote on chartering an organization it
would enshrine the state partys feelings toward same-sex
couples for decades.
When the vote was taken, hundreds slowly rose from
their seats to cast their vote to charter the organization. I
looked to my right and left, witnessing others around me
stand in solidarity to do what had been prolonged for far
too long. And, in the distance, I could also see the cold
stares from other members awaiting their chance to vote
against the measure.
But, to the surprise of many, the state party overwhelmingly voted to embrace the group as a chartered organization 861-293. Beyond voting to charter the organization,
the state party embraced the notion that everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation or afliation, should have a
seat at the table.
Yes, there is still work to be done in the state party. But,
it was a delight to see the state party overwhelmingly
embrace the LGBT community having an ofcial seat at the
table. There are some who will say that this is just a baby
step in a march of many miles. I would say to them that
even a baby step forward is a step forward nonetheless.

NEW YORK The stock markets

bull run turned six on Monday. The
anniversary was marked with modest
gains.
Stocks were rebounding from a big
sell-off on Friday when the market
slumped after an unexpectedly strong
jobs report. The healthy hiring picture
bolstered speculation that the Federal
Reserve will raise its interest rates
sooner than had previously been
expected.
On Monday, General Motors was
among the biggest gainers after
announcing a $5 billion stock buyback plan. Deal news also gave the
market a boost. Macerich, a real estate
investment trust, jumped after bigger
rival Simon Property made a hostile
bid for the company.
Stocks are becoming more volatile
as investors try to assess when the
Federal Reserve will start to raise
interest rates and the impact that will
have on the economy. The Fed has
kept its benchmark lending rate close
to zero for six years, underpinning the
run in stocks that stretches back to
March, 2009.
Every time the market settles in on
what the Fed will do, it gets spooked,
said Jim Dunigan, chief investment
officer at PNC Asset Management.
Today, that anxiety subsided a bit.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
rose 8.17 points, or 0.4 percent, to

SAN DIEGO Qualcomm said
Monday that its board approved plans
to buy back as much as $15 billion in
stock and raised its dividend.
As part of that plan, the San Diegobased chipmaker will buy back up to
$10 billion of its common shares over
the next 12 months. The company
expects to begin repurchasing shares in
its fiscal third quarter.
Buying back stock tends to lift a companys per-share earnings.
Qualcomm also is raising its annual
dividend 14 percent to $1.92 per share.
The increase will show up in the companys quarterly payouts after March 25.

2,079.43. The Dow Jones industrial

average gained 138.94 points, or 0.8
percent, to 17,995.72. The Nasdaq
composite climbed 15.07 points, or
0.3 percent, to 4,942.44.
GM was among the biggest gainers
on Monday.
The automaker announced a plan to
buy back its own stock. The move is
part of a deal with Harry Wilson, an
activist investor and a former member
of the government task force that
restructured GM coming out of its
2009 bankruptcy. In exchange,
Wilson agreed to withdraw his hostile
candidacy for the Detroit automakers
board of directors. The companys
stock rose $1.12, or 3.1 percent, to
$37.66.
Macerich, a real estate investment
trust that specializes in retail properties, was another winner.
Its stock climbed $6.04, or 7 percent, to $92.76 after Simon Property
made a hostile bid of $16 billion in
cash and stock for the company.
The S&P 500 has tripled since bottoming out at 676.53 six years ago in
the wake of the housing market collapse and the Great Recession. The
streak of gains is the fourth longest
since the 1940s and has pushed the
stock market to record levels.
Despite those sizeable gains, few
analysts are calling an end to the bull
market just yet.
Scott Wren, a senior global equity
strategist at the Wells Fargo
Investment Institute, says investors

should still take advantage of any selloffs to add to their positions.

Overall, youre still going to get
out of this year with good, but not
great returns, Wren said. Wren forecasts that overseas growth will pick
up, helping to underpin a steady recovery in the U.S.
Gains on Monday were led by industrial and technology stocks. These socalled cyclical stocks are most likely
to benefit the most if economic
growth picks up.
Investors were also keeping an eye
on developments overseas.
In Europe, The European Central
Bank started its 60 billion euro ($65
billion) per month bond-buying program on Monday. The bank hopes the
purchases will stimulate the eurozone
economy and get inflation back to the
banks target of just below 2 percent.
At present, consumer prices in the 19country currency bloc are falling at an
annual rate of 0.3 percent.
The divergence between the Fed and
the ECBs monetary policies has
caused the dollar to appreciate against
other currencies. The dollar has surged
since December, gaining against both
the euro and the Japanese yen.
The dollar traded at $1.0853 against
the euro on Monday, close to a 12-year
high. It also gained against the yen,
climbing to 121.15 yen.
U.S. government bond prices rose.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note
fell to 2.19 percent from 2.25 percent
on Friday.

Ex-Bearcat fires no-no for McMurry University

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Mitch Labbie had never thrown a no-hitter in his life.

The former San Mateo High School standout once came close, falling two outs shy of
a no-no for the Bearcats during his sophomore season of 2008.
Now a senior at McMurry University in
Abilene, Texas, Labbie made history
Saturday by firing the first no-hitter in mod-

ern program history. The right-hander went

the distance in a seven-inning format in
Game 1 of a doubleheader, facing two batters over the minimum in a 12-0 victory
over DeSales University.
Labbie said he became cognizant of the
no-hitter as he took the mound in the fifth
inning, but went unfazed by the potential
gem until the seventh.
I didnt really get nervous until literally
the last out of the game, Labbie said. The
fans started standing up and my teammates

were going crazy so I just said to myself

I have to lock in right here because this
could be my career game.
In the final inning, Labbie faced the heart
of the DeSales batting order. He started the
frame by striking out Carlos Urena then got
cleanup hitter Jay Maletz to fly out to left.
Facing junior Alec Hardy with two outs,
Labbie ran the count to 2-0 before peeling a
cutter across the plate for a strike. Then on a
2-1 count, Hardy hit a pop-up into foul
ground on the first base side. Labbie said he

wanted to catch the pop-up himself, but was

called off by first baseman Casey Berryman,
who made the catch to set off a celebration
in the middle of the infield.
My teammates tackled me, Labbie said.
It was just a great experience.
The win marked the eighth straight win
for the War Hawks. They went on to win
their ninth straight later in the day by
sweeping the doubleheader with a 5-0 win in

Grech hits ground running No
to state title
Athlete of the Week

By Terry Bernal

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Its softball season again. And Kaitlyn

Grech isnt wasting any time.
The Woodside sophomores first full week
of varsity softball was one to remember. The
Wildcats went on a five-game winning
streak starting with last Tuesdays 1-0 win
over Monta Vista.
Sure, as a natural pitcher, Grech tabbed an
impressive week with three wins in three
appearances. But her performance at the
plate is the reason she has been named the
San Mateo Daily Journal Athlete of the
Week.
Over the five-game win streak against
Monta Vista, St. Ignatius, Leland, Saratoga
and Watsonville Grech solidified the
heart of the Wildcats batting order in her
first full varsity week going 9 for 15 with
four doubles and seven RBIs.
I think Ive fit in pretty well, Grech said
of her varsity promotion. I like all the girls
on the team. Were more like a family
because Ive known a lot of the players for
so long.
Grech goes back to eighth-grade as part of
the Woodside softball family. While in her
final year at Roy Cloud Elementary School,
she practiced in the afternoons with
Woodside, on a team that included many current seniors. Then, after that, she would go
straight to practice with her club team
Wicked.
It was pretty hard to keep up with
school, Grech said. But I did pretty well
keeping up.
Grech said her parents were satisfied with
her performance in the classroom. They also
both happen to be Woodside graduates and
have everything to do with introducing her
to the sport of softball.
So, some six years after her father Jeff got
her going with the Redwood City Girls
Softball League when she was 9, Grech had a
decision to make when it came time to pick
a varsity jersey number this season. She usually wears No. 10, as she did last year as a
freshman with the Wildcats frosh-soph
team. This year, however, the number was

A potential second-round opponent
for Serra could be
No. 5 El Cerrito

crown and was ranked 15th in California.
Lets take a look at top-seeded Bishop
ODowd (24-4). The Dragons are the topranked team in California. They just won
their fourth straight North Coast Section
Division III title beating Moreau
Catholic Saturday. They played in the
State Open championship game in 2014
and their only four losses this season
came to teams ranked in the top-10
nationally.
No. 2 Monte Vista (27-3) is ranked 13th
in the state and is the defending State

second straight NCS Division I crown.
The Mustangs wont have an easy go of it
in their rst-round match either. They take

Currys 36 lead Warriors to 50th victory of season

By Bob Baum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHOENIX Stephen Curry scored 25 of

his 36 points in the second half and the
Golden State Warriors beat the Phoenix Suns
98-80 on Monday night for their 50th victory of the season.
Klay Thompson added 25 for the Warriors,
who at 50-12 have the NBAs best record, a
half-game better than Atlanta.
Curry made 7 of 13 3-pointers, 6 of 8 in the
second half, in his 13th 30-point game of the
season. Draymond Green had 11 points and

10 rebounds in Golden
States fourth straight
win.
Eric Bledsoe scored 19
for Phoenix. Brandon
Knight had 13 before
leaving the game with a
sprained left ankle in the
second quarter. Alex Len
Stephen Curry had 10 points and 11
rebounds.
The Warriors became the second NBA team
to win 50 games this season. Atlanta did it
with a victory over Sacramento a few hours

earlier.
With their ninth loss in 13 games, the Suns
are three games behind Oklahoma City for the
final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
The game was tied at 46 at the half, then the
Warriors opened it up with a 23-5 third-quarter
run. Thompsons 3-pointer capped the outburst and put Golden State up 76-57 with 1:41
left in the period.
A lineup mostly made up of Suns reserves
scored the next 10 points to cut the lead to
76-67 with 10:57 to play. But the Warriors
scored the next eight and, with Curry leading
the way, blew the game open from there.

Knight, acquired from Milwaukee in a trade

deadline deal, made a strong move to the
hoop and crashed to the floor as he attempted
to pass to Len with 4:17 left in the first half.
Knight lay on the floor, pounding the court
with his fist in pain, before he was carried to
the locker room.
The Warriors led nearly all the first half, by
as many as 11, and were up 46-37 on Currys
driving layup with 1:55 left. Golden State
committed two of its eight first-half
turnovers while Phoenix finished the half on
a 9-0 run, tying it at 46 on Bledsoes layup
after a steal with 43 seconds to play.

Marshals seize
Americas Cup M
boat in dispute
By Bernie Wilson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO Federal marshals seized

Americas Cup champion Oracle Team USAs
prototype boat in San Francisco on Monday,
before it could be shipped out of the country,
in response to a lien filed by a fired sailor.
Marshals went to the teams base at Pier
80 and determined that the souped-up, 45foot catamaran and its various components
and wing sail were in three shipping containers the team was preparing to send to
Bermuda.
Marshals Service spokesman Frank
Conroy said the containers were stickered
and locked.
In maritime law terms, the boat was arrested.
Conroy said marshals believe the confiscated boat is the catamaran known as 4
Oracle Team USA.
He said marshals had a very pleasant
exchange with syndicate members.
We didnt get the feeling of anyone trying
to hide anything from us, Conroy said.
In a filing Friday, Oracle attorney David E.
Russo said the boat that fired sailor Joe
Spooner wants confiscated to satisfy the
lien was sold to a French syndicate in
December.
However, a photo taken shortly after Team
France took possession of that boat shows
it has hull No. 5. The boat sought by
Spooner has the hull No. 4.
In an earlier filing, Oracle contended boat
No. 4 hadnt been launched during Spooners
tenure with the team. Oracle argued that the
boat was mismarked and although it said 4
on the hull, it was actually boat No. 5.
Spooner provided evidence showing him
sailing and repairing the vessel in question.
The dispute will return to federal court,
where Spooner is seeking at least $725,000
in a wrongful termination suit.
It is a match race and we have the lead at
the first mark, Spooners attorney, Patricia
Barlow, said in an email to The Associated
Press.
The catamaran was built to foil, or ride up
on hydrofoils once it reaches a certain speed.

AOTW

4-0 going into the bottom of the sixth,

Grech ignited a rally with a sharp RBI single to left to get Woodside on the board. The
Wildcats went on to rally for four runs in the
frame to tie it 4-4.
But Grech faltered in the circle by surrendering two runs in the top of the seventh to
give St. Ignatius a 6-4 lead. She made up for
it at the plate in Woodsides final at-bat
though, smashing a two-run double to score
Samantha Carlos and Stephanie Fanucchi to
tie the game 6-6. Riccardi followed with the
walk-off knock to drive home Grech with
the winning run.
It was a really good game, Grech said.
We just went crazy. We celebrated on the
field.
The celebration propelled Woodside to
three straight wins to capture the Varsity
Softball
Tournament
championship
Saturday at Watsonville High School.
The mojo was brought to the tournament, I think, Grech said.
Last season, Grech made her varsity debut
at the Watsonville tournament and went on

to get into three games before returning to

the frosh-soph squad. Grech tabbed three
varsity hits as a freshman. She had twice
that many hits through her first three varsity games this season.
Saturdays tournament semifinal against
Saratoga showed precisely how ready Grech
is for the varsity game. Saratoga marched
out 6-foot starting pitcher Eleni Spirakis.
All Grech did was notch a 3-for-3 day
against the big junior.
I dont really get intimidated, Grech
said. I just kind of go out and do what I
have to do.
Woodside has only advanced to the
Central Coast Section playoffs once in program history with a one-and-done in 1999.
Grech, however, is wide-eyed about the
teams prospects of returning this season.
Our goals are definitely to make it to
CCS, Grech said. Last year, varsity didnt
make it playoffs so our goal is to make it
to CCS and compete. We have a pretty good
team this year so I think well make it pretty far.

already being worn by junior Alexis

Instead of offering Riccardi a fancy watch
in exchange for her jersey number, Grech
opted to wear the No. 5, the same number
her mother Kari wore when she played at
Woodside. And so far Grech has done the
number proud.
Grechs dedication to the sport is obvious
to first-year head coach Justine Fortes, who
described the sophomore as a gamer.
Watching her play, shes very dedicated, Fortes said. Shes one of those athletes that dedicates everything shes got to

Cain returns to mound, goes 2 innings Niemis 39 saves

By Rick Eymer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Matt Cain pitched

two perfect innings in his spring debut,
Yasiel Puig hit his first home run of the
exhibition season, and the Los Angeles
Dodgers and San Francisco Giants played to
a 5-5 tie Monday.
Brett Anderson allowed one hit over two
innings in his debut with the Dodgers. The
left-hander was limited to eight starts last
year with the Colorado Rockies due to a broken left index finger and lower back surgery.
Cain, who did not pitch after July 9 following elbow surgery, needed just 20 pitches to complete his outing.
Dodgers shortstop Jimmy Rollins, who
tripled and doubled, was impressed with
what he saw from Cain.
He looked pretty good. He had good
depth on his change. He threw me a 1-1

change that was good,

said Rollins. The ball is
coming out of his hand
nicely and he doesnt
look like hes struggling.
Ryan Vogelsong followed Cain, allowing
Puigs home run over his
three innings. He did not
Matt Cain
walk a batter and struck
out four. Joaquin Arias and Brandon Hicks
drove in runs for the Giants.
That was a good pitch. I cant be upset
about that one, Vogelsong said of Puigs
homer. It was a good swing. Maybe it wasnt the right pitch for the situation but it
was a good pitch.
Erik Bedard pitched two scoreless innings
in relief of Anderson. The non-roster lefthander walked one and struck out two.
Howie Kendrick and Andre Ethier drove in

runs for the Dodgers.

Cain expected to throw 30 pitches against
the Dodgers, but he was too efficient. That
was enough, he said. That went really
good. I wanted to get out there and get in
rhythm, find a groove and it all worked out.
Cain expects to be mindful of his elbow,
especially on days following a start. Ill
try to watch the intensity when Im playing
catch, he said. I need to come back and
give the guys a great chance to win every
time out.

Plan abandoned for downtown Los Angeles stadium

By Andrew Dalton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Plans have been abandoned for an NFL stadium in downtown Los
Angeles, the developer announced Monday.
As recently as late last year, AEGs
Farmers Field project was the front-runner
for returning the league to the region, but
with no franchise attached and two competing projects emerging that have NFL owners on board, the downtown plan went into a
steep and speedy decline.
We are no longer in discussion with the
NFL or any NFL team, said Ted Fikre, Vice
Chairman Ted Fikre of AEG, AEG, which
owns the NHLs Los Angeles Kings and the
downtown Staples Center, home of the
NBAs Lakers and Clippers.
The developer had spent five years and at

least $50 million in trying to add the NFL to

its arsenal and restore it to the city, but now
said it will focus on other downtown development projects.
The announcement leaves two clear contenders for the NFLs return to the area for
the first time in two decades, both in cities
just outside Los Angeles: A stadium in
Inglewood proposed in January with the
backing of St. Louis Rams owner Stan
Kroenke, and a project in Carson announced
last month with the joint backing of the
Oakland Raiders and San Diego Chargers.
The downtown project which would
have been unusual for the NFL where most
venues are in suburbs instead of city centers
appeared to gain new life in October
when the developer asked for and received
from the city a six-month extension for its
deadline to attract an NFL team for the proj-

ect. AEG cited new dialogue with the

league.
But Fikre said Monday that it will allow
that extension to expire in April with no
renewal.
The projects boosters included Mayor
Eric Garcetti, much of the City Council and
local business leaders.
Michael Eisner, ex-chief executive at the
Walt Disney Co., told The Associated Press
in November that Farmers Field would have
been an ideal addition to the reemergence of
downtown LA.
It just felt to me that if we could pull this
off, particularly in the downtown area, that
the renaissance of Los Angeles ... could be
enhanced, he said.
Im a Disney guy, Eisner said. Im
looking for the end of the movie to be
happy.

lead Sharks 2-1

over Pittsburgh
By John Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN JOSE Antti Niemi made 39 saves

and stopped seven of eight shootout
attempts to lead the San Jose Sharks to their
10th straight home win against the
Pittsburgh Penguins, 2-1 on Monday night.
Tommy Wingels beat
Marc-Andre Fleury with a
backhand in the eighth
round of the shootout,
and Niemi made it stand
up by stopping Steve
Downie. Matt Nieto
scored the lone goal for
the Sharks, who had lost
nine of their previous 10
Antti Niemi
home games overall.
But they have dominated the Penguins at
the Shark Tank of late. San Jose has 11 wins
and one tie since its last home loss to the
Penguins on Oct. 22, 1997.
Sidney Crosby tied the game earlier in the
third with his first goal in seven career
games against the Sharks.
The Sharks killed a penalty in overtime
and survived Derrick Pouliot hitting the
post in the closing seconds before winning
it in the shootout.
Melker Karlsson scored in the third round
for San Jose, and Kris Letang answered for
Pittsburgh for the only goals in the
tiebreaker before Wingels winner.
The Sharks moved three points behind
Calgary in the race for third place in the
Pacific Division with Los Angeles one
point ahead of San Jose. The Flames have
played one fewer game than San Jose, and
the Kings have two games in hand.

Iupati trade with

Cards looks likely

LABBIE

By Bob Baum

the nightcap. Since losing three of their first five to start

the season, the War Hawks have improved their record to
11-3, with Labbie recording his first two wins of the season
during that span.
The no-hitter marks the first official one on record at
McMurry. It is the only one since 1996 when the baseball
program was reinstituted after a 47-year absence. According
to the McMurry athletics website, there are no no-hitters on
record.
Labbie said he didnt necessarily feature his best stuff in
Saturdays 81-pitch gem. Touting a four-pitch repertoire, he
relied predominantly on his fastball. He mixed in a cutter,
slider and changeup, but said he threw approximately 80 percent fastballs.
Numbers and stats-wise, it definitely was my best (outing), Labbie said. Stuff-wise, I really wouldnt say so. My
fastball was just really locked in and I was hitting my spots.
They were super aggressive and I just kept going at them.
Labbie gave a proverbial tip of the cap to his defense,
especially his catcher Michael Hunter, who has caught each
of Labbies four starts this season. Hunter calls his own
games; and not having to retrieve signs from the bench
between every pitch helps Labbie immeasurably, he said.
I like to work quick. I like the rhythm, Labbie said.
When our catcher is locked in like he is day in and day out,
it just works a lot more to my benefit.
And while a no-no isnt complete without the obligatory
defensive gem, the thought of a no-hitter hadnt occurred to
Labbie when War Hawks shortstop Kyle Sargent made the
play of the game in the second inning.
After a McMurry six-run rally in the bottom of the first
inning lasted approximately 30 minutes, Labbie retook the
mound in the second after a long respite. And to lead off the
inning for DeSales, Maletz reached on an error by Sargent.
But the 6-4 senior Sargent made up for it with one out and
Maletz at second base by ranging far into the hole to take a
hit away from catcher Nick Fischer.
Hes got an unbelievable arm and made a back-foot throw
and fell down, Labbie said. Its one of those things, in a
no-hitter theres always a bang-bang call, and that was it.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHOENIX A person familiar with the negotiations says

prospects look good for a deal between ex-San Francisco
49ers left guard Mike Iupati (yoo-PAH-tee) and the Arizona
Cardinals.
The person, who asked not to be identified because agreements officially cant be announced until
Tuesday, said the two sides were in promising negotiations for a contract.
Iupati started 15 games at left guard for
the 49ers last season and is considered
one of the top run blockers in the NFL.
His addition could mean a move to right
guard for Jonathan Cooper, the former
first-round draft pick who has struggled to
regain his form after breaking a leg before
Mike Iupati
his rookie season.
The 6-foot-5, 331-pound Iupati is a three-time Pro Bowl
player and was first-team All-Pro in 2012. He has played all
five of his seasons for the 49ers after being drafted in the first
round the 17th pick overall out of Idaho in 2010.
He would add much-needed interior strength to an Arizona
team that ranked last in rushing last season.
The team also is believed to be looking for a power back
either in free agency or through the draft to ease the pressure on Andre Ellington, who took a beating last year trying
to be the teams primary runner despite a season-long foot
injury.
Cooper was slated to play left guard after being drafted seventh overall in 2013. But he was slow to come back from the
leg injury and played only sparingly last season.
Although his pass blocking is not nearly as highly regarded as his devastating run blocking, Iupati would line up next
to tackle Jared Veldheer, giving Arizona a formidable left side
of the line.
There were reports that, in addition to the 49ers, Buffalo,
Oakland, the New York Jets, Buffalo and Minnesota all were
interested in signing Iupati.

There was a time not too long ago that making it to a

the Knights were the odd men out at the State Division IV
seeding meeting.
Half Moon Bay, Sacred Heart Prep and Palma all
Division IV quads were moved into the CCS Open
Division tournament this year. One of the perks of playing in the Open Division is an automatic bid to the Nor
Cal tournament and if a team didnt win the Open title, it
would play the Nor Cal tournament in its division of
enrollment.
For those three teams, that means Division IV.
And because a section can only send a maximum of four
teams from each division to Nor Cals, Menlo was left
standing on the outside. Santa Cruz, as the division
champ, automatically qualied along with the three
teams that played in the CCS Open Division.

Former San Mateo High standout Mitch Labbie threw a the

first no-hitter of record at McMurry University Saturday.
Labbie is a former two-sport varsity standout at San
Mateo. He was an All-Peninsula Athletic League utility player his senior season of 2010, serving as both a pitcher and
catcher. He was also the starting quarterback for the Bearcats
football team and earned an All-PAL honorable mention at
the position.
He landed at McMurry last season as a junior transfer from
Caada College. With the Colts, Labbie led the Coast Pacific
Conference with four saves in 2012. As a junior with the War
Hawks in 2014, he served predominantly as the teams closer.
This season he has been in the starting rotation since Day One,
earning the opening-day start and taking a no-decision in an
eventual 8-4 loss to Division II powerhouse Angelo State.
After spending two seasons at the NCAA Division II level,
McMurry athletics returned to NCAA Division III status this
season where the baseball team will eventually rejoin the
American Southwest Conference. The War Hawks were one of
the conferences founding teams in 1996. During the 2013
and 14 season, they played as part of the National Christian
College Athletic Association.
This season, McMurry baseball is playing an independent
schedule, comprised of both Division II and III opponents.
the title, leading 47-31, Hillsdales Ishana Raghuran hit a
running, one-hander for Hillsdales nal bucket of the
game.
Judging by the eruption of the Hillsdale bench and fans,
you would have thought Raghuran had just drained the
game-winning shot.
But its what the basket meant that was so meaningful.
Raghuran was appearing in just her third game of the year
after having battled a knee injury most of the season. The
Knights reactions just epitomized how much they exemplied the word team.
A couple days before Saturdays championship game,
junior guard Emily Nepomuceno had effusive praise for two
of her teammates who came off the bench to help the
Knights win their seminal game. Nepomuceno continued
to show the afnity she has for her teammates when she
gave Raghuran a huge bear hug on the sideline as the team
gathered themselves for the ensuing awards ceremony.
On the Maxpreps.com team page, Raghuran was named
Player of the Game with the following coachs comment:
Scored her rst basket of the year in the fourth quarter.
She has been out all year with a bad knee. Has kept score,
attended practice and did whatever was needed to help the
team. An inspiration to anyone who comes in contact with
her. An outstanding teammate.
***
Just to get away from basketball although it seems
the season will never end lets get into some baseball
talk. Despite the Serra basketball team playing in the CCS
Open Division championship game Friday night, there
were still plenty of Padres baseball fans who attended
Friday nights annual night game against Burlingame at
Washington Park.
While the game mostly lacked for drama Serra scored
four runs in the rst inning on its way to a 10-1 victory
there was one play that had the crowd buzzing and is a real
early favorite for play of the year already.
In the bottom of the fourth inning, Burlingames Andrew
Kennedy hit what looked to be a single into the 5.5 hole
the space between where the third baseman and shortstop play.
Instead, Serra shortstop Chris Underwood made a headlong dive not toward third base, but angled more toward
left eld. At full sprawl, he gloved the grounder, bounced
to his feet in the blink of an eye and red a bullet to rst to
get Kennedy by a hair.
It was the type of play that make people fall in love with
baseball.

Cost of antidote to
heroin overdose
worries advocates
By Geoff Mulvihill
Andrew Welsh-Huggins
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAMDEN, N.J. Price hikes

are curtailing access to a popular
form of an antidote to heroin overdoses, with costs doubling in the
past year and the manufacturers
stock price rising by 70 percent
since it went public.
Advocates fear the higher cost
of naloxone, often sold in the
U.S. under the brand name Narcan,
will ultimately lead to the deaths
of addicts who could have been
saved if theyd had access to the
drug.
Officials across the country
have largely agreed that it makes
sense to hand out naloxone to
police, families of addicts and drug
users themselves, and in some
places are now scrambling to
negotiate discounts for programs
that buy it in bulk for public distribution.
If you have a fire extinguisher
that costs several hundred dollars,
some people are going to go without and some are going to get
burned, said Daniel Wolfe, director of the international harm
reduction program at the Open
Society Foundations.
JSAS HealthCare, a clinic based
on the New Jersey shore, began
last year training community

members to administer the drug

and providing it to them with the
help of state funds.
But a price increase late last year
means that instead of buying 400
naloxone kits for a little under
$21,000 at $51.50 per kit paid
to a third-party distribution company thats now enough for
only 200, at just under $100 per
kit, a negotiated discount thats
$5 cheaper than what he was quoted.
Three companies market naloxone in the U.S., including a relatively low-cost injectable version
and a new Epi-Pen style device
that goes for hundreds of dollars
per dose.
The most popular version
among police and many other
groups one that can be converted into a nasal spray, sold by
Amphastar Pharmaceuticals Inc.,
of Rancho Cucamonga, California
is twice as expensive as a year
ago.
Like other companies in the
industry, manufacturing costs for
our entire portfolio of products,
including naloxone, have been
steadily increasing due to the continued rise in costs for raw materials, energy, and labor over the
recent several years, company
president Jason Shandell said in
an email.
In some countries, naloxone

Epi-Pen style device that goes for hundreds of dollars per dose.
costs less than $1 per dose, Wolfe
said, noting that a lack of competition could be contributing to a
higher price here.
JSAS now limits how many people get naloxone at some training
seminars in hopes that the clinic
will have enough to distribute
until more funding is available in
July, executive director Ed
Higgins said.
Our calendar is right now is not
penned in; its penciled in through
the month of April, Higgins said.
Were hoping that were going to
have enough kits to maintain
that.
Naloxone reverses the effects of
opioids drugs derived from
opium, including heroin on
brain receptors. Advocates say it
has no major side effects other
than opioid-withdrawal symptoms
and does not create a high.

About 20 years ago, community

groups in some cities started getting the drug into the hands of
people other than medical professionals with the idea that they
could save lives more quickly.
Over the past several years, the
number of overdoses has risen,
and the use of naloxone has
expanded. Police in several states
carry it, more harm reduction
advocates are supplying it to
laypeople, and a handful of states
now allow pharmacies to sell it
without prescriptions.
A program in New York City
gives naloxone to inmates who
are about to be released, reasoning
that addicts often overdose soon
after leaving prison. The idea is
that the former inmates could save
friends, or friends would be able to
save them.
In New Jersey last year, Alicia

Gibbons received training in the

injectable form of naloxone while
her daughter, Ashley, was in jail. A
week after being released in April,
Ashley overdosed in a bathtub at
her mothers home in Mays
Landing.
Alicia Gibbons boyfriend
broke down the door to the bathroom. She said her hands shook as
she got the medicine into the
syringe to give her unresponsive
daughter first one shot of naloxone, then a second. Her daughter
convulsed on the floor and vomited; then paramedics arrived.
Shes always going to be my
hero, Ashley Gibbons said of her
mother. She saved me.
Alicia Gibbons said the price
increase is troubling. I think its
sad, now that theyve found something that could save people, they
raise the price up.

Michelangelo of DOG PARK

buttocks injections
convicted of murder
Continued from page 1

By Mary Claire Dale

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHILADELPHIA A former madam who

bragged of doing black-market body sculpting on thousands of women was convicted of
murder in the death of a dancer whose heart
stopped after nearly half a gallon of silicone
was injected into her buttocks.
Padge-Victoria Windslowes colorful testimony during her Philadelphia trial included
claims that she was the Michelangelo of buttocks injections and that model Amber Rose
was a walking billboard for her work. Yet
Windslowe had no medical training, other
than tips she said she picked up from overseas
doctors who performed her sex change operation and a physician-client of her escort service who became her lover.
I think it was a hoax, like her whole life
has been a hoax, Assistant District Attorney
Carlos Vega said Monday of the supposed
training.
The evidence showed that Windslowe traveled to hotel rooms and pumping parties
with tools of her trade stuffed into a shiny
pink purse: a water bottle filled with liquid silicone, a red plastic cup, needles and syringes,
and Krazy Glue to close the wound.
Windslowe, 45, name-dropped the likes of
rappers Nicki Minaj and Kanye West and athlete Serena Williams during her testimony and
claimed to have been baptized Genevieve
after her sex change by the late Roman
Catholic Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua.
Roses representatives have not responded to
messages seeking comment about the claim
that she was a client.
Windslowe described herself as a serial
entrepreneur who once ran a transgender
escort service and a Gothic hip-hop performer
who called herself the Black Madam.
I was the best, and I dont mean that to be
cocky, Windslowe testified, explaining why
celebrities would have sought her out over a
licensed plastic surgeon.

Authorities argued that she fled in 2011

after a botched injection killed Claudia
Aderotimi, a 20-year-old London breakdancer and college student.
The trial was halted for several days last
week while Windslowe was hospitalized for
chest pains. She has been in prison since
2012, when the confounding 18-month
investigation led to a coroners homicide ruling.
As we moved forward with this bizarre case
from house to house (as Windslowe was on
the move), from search warrant to search warrant, from year to year, we just stayed on top
of it, said Philadelphia Police Lt. John
Walker.
Windslowe conceded that she had injected
Aderotimi, but her lawyer argued that she
never wished clients any harm. Prosecutors
called her reckless, especially in her choice to
use industrial-grade silicone and cut it with
saline in a home blender.
Windslowe, about 5 feet 10 and 250
pounds, said she had injected herself with the
same product many times in her forehead,
cheeks, chin, thighs and buttocks.
The jury took less than four hours to reject
a lesser manslaughter charge and convict her
of third-degree murder, which involves malice, but not premeditation.
Windslowe was also convicted of aggravated assault for injuries to a Philadelphia
woman hospitalized after the injections and
two weapons counts for using of low-quality silicone.
She faces 20 to 40 years in prison on the
murder conviction alone at her June 11 sentencing.
There have been several similar deaths
around the country involving underground
buttocks injections. A mother of three who
died in Texas after having work done at a tile
store was left by the roadside after her death in
April 2011. A Columbian couple is serving up
to eight years in prison for manslaughter in
that case.

at City Hall.
Maltbie will actually have an almost

overlooks the park.
The council approved spending up to
$80,000 to enclose about 75 percent of the
park for a temporary off-leash program,
although some on the council hope the park
may become a permanent playground for the
citys thousands of dogs.
A pilot program to allow dogs to roam free
was halted three months ago at Burton and
Highlands parks after the city received a
series of complaints related to cleanup and
bad behavior of both dogs and their owners.
The city has lost a valuable space for dogs
and humans to socialize, many residents
argued last night.
Hes fat and Im depressed, Diane
Montgomery said about the impacts of losing space for dogs and humans to socialize.
It was a 7-year-old boy, Kyle Velasco, who
drew the most applause from the public.
His dog C.J. wants to play and run. He
wants to get crazy, Velasco said about the
need for a dog park. We already have lots of
parks for kids. We need one for dogs.

The city will start negotiating an option
with the property owners to purchase the
last largest swath of open space in the city.
The San Carlos Elementary School District
had its eye on the property last year for a
new school site but the deal fell through.
The asking price for the former Black
Mountain Spring Water site on the west side
of Alameda de la Pulgas, sitting on 11.3
acres, is about $18 million.
If the city does not buy and preserve the
land, as many as 100 homes could be developed in the area, according to city staff.

tions on city-owned land were proposed

including lower Vista Park; the upper
rocks area of Arguello Park; North
Crestview Park; and Chilton Park.
The dog group preferred Arguello and City
Hall Park, which was not on the original list
of choices.
In February, staff sought and received
endorsement from the Parks and Recreation
Commission for the sole location of City
Hall Park after receiving strong neighborhood opposition on the Arguello Park upper
rocks area, according to a staff report.
The Arguello site was simply not suitable
for the program, said Northam Avenue resident Karen Bernstein.
She encouraged her neighbors to take a
stand against the proposal leading up to the
Planning Commissions decision.
The citys municipal code gives it the
authority to allow dogs to roam free in parks
without a public hearing or council
approval.
In 1991, the city designated a former childrens playground adjacent to Heather
School as the Heather Dog Park off-leash
exercise area. The area is currently underutilized for its intended purpose due to its isolated location, lack of amenities and maintenance. The park, however, is open now
and still in use for dogs to roam off-leash,
said Parks and Recreation Department
Director Christine Boland.

Mayor Ron Collins said at the meeting.
Councilman Mark Olbert said residents
must be told whether the city would preserve
the land entirely as open space or turn it
into a park, including space for dogs to
roam free.
Resident Cecily Harris agreed saying residents must know what the city plans to do
with the land before they approve taxing
themselves.
If you buy the property how will it be
used? Will it be open space, a school, aquatic park. I dont want a school there, Harris
said at the meeting.

Why does health overhaul drama continue?

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON President Barack

Obamas health overhaul remains an allconsuming drama for many, even though
millions of people are gaining insurance
coverage through a law thats now 5 years
old.
During oral arguments last week in the
latest Supreme Court case brought by the
laws opponents, Justice Elena Kagan
called it a never-ending saga.
Five reasons why the Obamacare epic
plays on:

POLITICAL OPPOSITION
Unyielding opposition from conservative voters has made it practically impossible for Republican lawmakers to take a
pragmatic approach to a program with
obvious flaws, but also popular aspects.
Few in the United States want to go back
to the days when insurance companies could
deny coverage to people with pre-existing
health conditions. But Republicans have
followed a political game plan that requires
them to first repeal Obamas law before trying to replace it with legislation of their
own, presumably to accomplish similar
goals.
A Supreme Court ruling invalidating the
laws subsidies in most states would give
Republicans their best opening yet. But
any replacement legislation also would
spend taxpayer dollars and spawn new federal regulations.
When former GOP President George W.
Bush pushed through new Medicare prescription drug coverage, most Democrats
opposed him, and some even called for

Even now, in the second year of coverage, enrollment counselors say many consumers get
overwhelmed trying to understand what plan is best for them.
repeal. Yet they also helped constituents
navigate the new program.
Some Republican governors have risked a
backlash from the partys political base by
accepting the laws Medicaid expansion for
low-income people. Still, Republicans in
Congress remain a wall of opposition.

ADMINISTRATION STUMBLES
The president who once said you could
keep your health plan if you liked it was
caught flat-footed by a wave of insurance
cancellations blamed on health law requirements taking effect in 2014.
The HealthCare.gov website, talked up as
the equivalent of Amazon and Travelocity,
broke down the day it was launched in 2013,
and took months to patch up.
That same year, the administration

announced the delay of a major requirement

affecting employers on an obscure government blog just days before the Fourth of
July.
This year, HealthCare.gov sent the wrong
tax information to about 800,000 people,
and an online insurance market geared to
small businesses has disappointed.
The administration keeps resupplying the
laws critics with ammunition.

UNCONVENTIONAL PATH TO PASSAGE

The Affordable Care Act did not get the
legislative equivalent of close editing by a
House-Senate conference committee.
Congressional committees worked on different pieces of the bill and the complete
package was assembled in negotiations
shepherded by leadership.

Cancer is in remission for teen

forced to undergo chemothrapy
By Dave Collins
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HARTFORD, Conn. A 17-year-old

Connecticut girl who was forced to undergo
chemotherapy by the state after she and her
mother refused treatment is happy her cancer
is in remission but still upset she had no
choice in the matter.
The girl, identified in court documents
only as Cassandra C., told the Associated
Press in a phone interview Monday that she
believes alternative treatments would have
had the same result as chemotherapy. A recent
medical scan showed no signs of the
Hodgkin lymphoma that was diagnosed in
September, and she expects to complete
chemo next month.
I was really happy, she said about learning the cancer was in remission. It kind of
made it a lot easier to accept everything that
has gone on here. Im still never going to be
completely happy with how this happened,
having this treatment forced upon me. ... Its
my body.
She added, Knowing now that the chemo

wasnt as bad as I thought it was going to be,

I probably wouldnt fight so hard against it.
Cassandra remains confined at Connecticut
Childrens Medical Center in Hartford under
the temporary custody of the state
Department of Children and Families.
A Juvenile Court hearing is scheduled for
next week on a request by Cassandra and her
mother to end the DCF custody so she can go
home immediately instead of having to wait
until the chemo is over, said her lawyer,
assistant public defender Joshua Michtom.
Cassandra said DCF has prohibited her from
having any contact with her mother and she
hasnt seen her mom since New Years.
Cassandra said she didnt want to poison
her body with chemotherapy and wanted to
explore alternative treatments a course of
action her mother supported. Doctors had
said chemo would give her an 85 percent
chance of survival, but without it, there was a
near certainty of death within two years.
After Cassandra was diagnosed with highrisk Hodgkin lymphoma, she and her mother
missed several appointments, prompting
doctors to notify the DCF, court documents

say. A trial court in November granted DCF

temporary custody of Cassandra. Lawyers for
Cassandra and her mother then sought an
injunction prohibiting medical treatment but
failed.
The case went to the state Supreme Court,
which ruled in January that the state wasnt
violating Cassandras rights by forcing her
to undergo chemotherapy. The case centered
on the mature minor doctrine recognized
by several other states whether 16- and
17-year-olds are mature enough to make their
own medical decisions.
Cassandra will be free to make her own
medical decisions when she turns 18 in
September.
DCF Commissioner Joette Katz said in a
statement that agency officials are pleased
with Cassandras progress toward a complete recovery.
We understand how difficult this has been
for Cassandra and her family, but we have had
full confidence throughout that the medical
professionals involved in her treatment
would be successful in saving her life, Katz
said.

That could have made it more likely that

glitches would get baked into the 900-plus
pages of the law.
Problems emerged soon after the law was
signed. Vague wording of a provision guaranteeing coverage to children with preexisting health conditions was cleaned up
through regulations after the insurance
industry acquiesced.
The path to passage may be at the root
cause of the current dispute before the
Supreme Court, which centers on whether
the wording of the law allows federal subsidies in states that dont set up their own
insurance markets.
It was pushed through on expedited procedures and didnt have the kind of consideration by a conference committee ... that
statutes usually do, noted Justice Antonin
Scalia.

COSTS OF CARE
Although premiums are heavily subsidized, people who buy private coverage
through the laws new insurance markets
may still struggle with costs.
Out-of-pocket expenses, including the
annual deductible and required copayments,
can be as high as $6,600 for an individual
and $13,200 for a family.
Faced with a serious illness, a family
making $60,000 a year might have to shell
out more than 20 percent of its income.
Thats on top of living expenses.
Average monthly premiums rose by 8 percent this year in the states served by
HealthCare.gov, according to preliminary
administration data.
After subsidies, the average monthly premium that consumers pay directly rose by
$23 a month.

expects 125 units of housing will be
built in Burlingame, which should
bring 50 elementary school students
and 13 middle school students to the
district, according to the report.
Hellier said the report predicts
enrollment increases based on housing
and commercial projects that are currently in the works, or being planned.

courts are removed, local players
would be forced to drive to Beresford
Park or even another city to play.
Were still in a position where we
dont know what the reason is for trying to move the courts out of the park
there, Kevin Lim said. I know
theres classes that go on there,
theres a lot of folks that come into
our shop that grew up playing there.
In terms of utilization, its definitely
being used by the community.
The city began the update process
about a year ago when it hired a consultant and has since held several community workshops as well as a joint
study session with the City Council
and
Parks
and
Recreation
Commission. The city released the
three conceptual maps in January and
are currently seeking online feedback
from the community. Eventually, the
Parks and Recreation Commission as
well as the City Council will vote to
decide what to include in the Master
Plan, said Parks and Recreation
Director Sheila Canzian.
All of the maps include keeping the
parks historical attributes such as the
Kohl Pumphouse and Japanese Tea

Last week, the sale of 300 Airport

Blvd. closed, paving the way to bring
3,000 new jobs to the Bayfront region
in Burlingame, which will be housed
in 767,000 square feet of office and
retail space proposed for construction
at the former drive-in site.
Should officials agree to increase
the fees, about $1 million would be
generated for the district over the next
five years, still well short of the more
than $3 million worth of costs affiliated with facility construction costs
that would be necessary to accommodate the growth, according to the
report.
The estimated income is less than
the projected needs, according to the
report.
A majority of the cost to the district
comes from needing to purchase 1.16
acres of property, estimated to be
worth $1. 45 million, to construct
facilities to accommodate new students, according to the report.
Hellier said the district has not identified any particular parcel that the
development funds would go toward
purchasing.
Last month, the Board of Trustees
approved taking steps toward reopening Hoover Elementary School, which
will offer the district some relief for
capacity concerns.
The school was closed in 1979, and
later sold, then repurchased by the district in 2010. Residents in the neigh-

borhood surrounding the school

recently sued to block its reopening,
citing concerns regarding traffic
impact on the surrounding area.
But district officials and residents
came to an agreement that proposed
traffic mitigations would be sufficient
to calm neighborhood concerns, and
the school is again on track to be
reopened.
The district has planned two town
hall meetings, April 21 and May 18,
to discuss with residents the process
leading up to reopening the school.
Hellier said she was unsure whether
the district report accounts for the
reopening of Hoover Elementary to
offer relief for capacity concerns.
But she said she believes the district
will need more facilities beyond those
available at Hoover Elementary to
address enrollment growth across the
district, since officials make it a point
of emphasis to establish small,
neighborhood schools that house
smaller student populations.
Even with Hoover, in order to
maintain the size that we at the
schools, we would probably need
more space, said Hellier.
Should the board approve the fee
increases, they could be implemented
in 60 days, said Hellier.
The Burlingame Elementary School
District Board of Trustees meets
Tuesday, March 10, at 1825 Trousdale
Drive, beginning at 7 p.m.

Garden, as well as enhancing the playground and creating a larger event center lawn.
Instead of having the tennis facilities, the proposals include the
Community Center Option, which
would construct a new recreation center and plaza atop the courts on Fifth
Avenue; the Enhanced Open Space
Option, which includes creating permanent kiosks and a large plaza used
to host events; and the Community
Gathering Option, which proposes a
paved open-aired plaza with trelliscovered seating that could also host
events or farmers markets.
Councilman David Lim said while
hes in favor of creating a recreation
center or plaza along Fifth Avenue to
form a better connection to downtown, hed like to keep the tennis
courts located somewhere within the
park.
Im not in favor of removing them.
I think tennis courts are central to
Central Park. Theyre the only city
courts in the greater downtown area
and I think they add an important element of recreation to our downtown.
So I think they should remain in
Central Park, Lim said.
Tennis instructors offer classes at
the courts while Gan and Kevin Lim
said they also host Meetup.com tennis matches on Thursday nights.
Because the courts have lights,

theyre accessible until 10 p.m. or 11

p.m., which is helpful for those who
may have limited time to exercise,
Kevin Lim said.
William Hsu, a 15-year-old Aragon
student, learned how to play at Central
Park and began teaching his family
friend, 10-year-old Leo Lin. Heidi
Tung, Hsus mother, said they live
nearby and shed be extremely disappointed if her two sons didnt have
access to the courts.
Its good for all ages. Especially for
the boys, Tung said. They always
invite their other friends to join and
play tennis, then I can stay home and
prepare food because during the morning and evening, its a safe area for
kids. If [there was] no tennis, I cannot imagine, itd be terrible.
Kevin Lim said he hopes the park
will continue to offer tennis as the
courts are a great community resource.
I know theres classes and different
sorts of training and stuff there too. I
know for parents that want to bring
their kids up playing tennis, they
have classes at the park, Kevin Lim
said. If they were to take that away,
its hard for parents to place their kids
in programs like that.
