Seton deal falls through

Daughters of Charity scrambling to find new buyer for its six hospitals
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

With Prime Healthcare backing out of a

$837 million deal to buy six Daughters of
Charity hospitals, including Seton medical
centers in Daly City and Moss Beach, the
nonprofit health provider is being urged to
find a new buyer and quick.
Without a suitable buyer, the fear is that

Kamala Harris

the Daughters of Charity

will fall into bankruptcy
and that residents in
north San Mateo County
and on the coast will be
forced to travel great distances for doctor visits
or in emergencies.
Prime
pulled
out
because of onerous and

unprecedented conditions forced on the

acquisition by state Attorney General
Kamala Harris.
The sheer number of conditions more
than 300 is unheard of in California, or
anywhere else in the United States, Troy
Schell, general counsel for Prime
Healthcare wrote in a statement.
Prime agreed to run the system as-is for
five years but Harris mandated it be for 10

years when she recently approved the sale.

Maintaining all services for 10 years
regardless of whether the services are needed or essential for the communities served
is unprecedented and untenable. In essence,
the attorney general is telling Prime
Healthcare to operate the hospitals exactly
as DCHS has and expect different results,
Schell wrote in the statement.

DEMOLITION BEGINS

RENDERING COURTESY OF THE NEW HOME COMPANY

Within two years, much of the 15-acre site at the center of

Foster City will be transformed from a construction site to a
mixed-use housing and retail development.

NICK ROSE/DAILY JOURNAL

Workers demolished the former Dennys this week at Concar Drive and South Delaware Street to make way for the Hines
office development just north of State Route 92. Plans for the site include 292,400 square feet of offices.

Despite decades of setbacks, an upcoming flurry of construction is being celebrated Thursday as the never-before
developed remaining portion of Foster Citys 15-acre site is
slated to host a long-awaited senior housing community.
Adjacent to City Hall, the city sold its last remaining
piece of undeveloped land, that was once considered for a
high school when it was 30 acres, for $30 million to the
blanket developer The New Home Company in November
2013.
Construction of the Foster Square site has been distributed
piecemeal to varying developers and representatives from

San Carlos adopts Do Not Knock registry

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Residents and business owners in San

Carlos have a new tool to fend off pesky
door-to-door solicitors with a new Do Not
Knock registry that notifies peddlers of
who in the city they should not bother.
The Peddlers and Solicitors ordinance
was adopted in 1950 and has not been updated since.
While all solicitors must acquire a permit
from the city, enforcement has been difficult, according to a report by City Attorney
Greg Rubens.
The changes are meant to protect San
Carlos residents from fraud and crime. The
City Council unanimously approved the
ordinance at its Monday night meeting.
The updated ordinance continues to protect our residents from criminals acting as
solicitors, and now lets people opt out of
commercial solicitations by registering
with the city, all while complying with the

Comment on
or share this story at
www.smdailyjournal.com
First Amendment, Councilman Mark
Olbert wrote the Daily Journal in an email.
Rubens wrote in the report that concerns
about unpermitted solicitors include:
Potential criminal activity under the
guise of selling magazines and other
goods and services;
Potential abuse of young people,
brought into the city from across the country by unscrupulous persons;
Potential assault and the invasion of privacy when strangers approach without the
proper identification; and
In recent years, residents of the city have
been threatened in their homes by persons
claiming to be solicitors.
Door to door solicitors are a nuisance and
have, in some cases, been linked to child

exploitation and other criminal activity.

This ordinance update will help curtail doorto-door solicitation in San Carlos and I was
happy to support it, Councilman Cameron
Johnson wrote in an email.
The ordinance defines solicitation as a
person who travels door to door and requests
money, credit, funds, contributions, personal property or anything of value.
The definition does not include, however,
those who go door to door to sway political
or religious views.
The Do Not Knock registry will be
available on the citys website and at the
police station. The council also recently
voted to set up an online registry so residents can opt-out of receiving free newspapers or handbills in their driveways or doorways.

Troubled veteran who claimed to be part of IS sentenced

By Dave Brooksher
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

A veteran with post-traumatic stress disorder who was arrested on felony gun
charges after claiming to be a member of the
Islamic State group was sentenced to six
months in jail by a San Mateo County court
Tuesday morning.
David Diaz, 55, was also sentenced to
three years probation, during which he will
be required to abstain from alcohol and
drugs. As part of his probation, Diaz will be
barred from possession of firearms or
ammunition, according to District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe.
On Oct. 7, Diaz went to a sports apparel

U.S., California modify area

for renewable energy plants
SAN DIEGO The state and federal governments will move forward on less than half
the California desert land initially designated
for renewable energy plants, officials said
Tuesday, leaving millions of acres in limbo
as local governments decide how they want
to handle large-scale solar, wind and geothermal projects.
Regulators will initially focus on about 10
million acres of federal land overseen by the
U.S. Bureau of Land Management in the
Mojave and other Southern California
deserts. Their initial plan, unveiled in
September, designated 22.5 million acres
across seven counties.
Much of the remaining 12.5 million acres
is privately owned and will be considered on
separate timetables. Projects on private
property would likely need to be approved by
local governments, which clamored for a
bigger say on the sweeping plan that
attempts to bring order to a renewable-energy
building boom in Californias deserts during
the first term of the Obama administration.
The plans authors estimate that 470,000
acres would be needed for projects to produce
20,000 megawatts by 2040.
Andy Horne, Imperial Countys deputy
executive and point man on renewable energy plants, said some residents worry that
solar, wind and geothermal plants will
replace farming jobs in the agricultural
region of 175,000 people, which consistent-

ACLU sues two police agencies

over phone-tracking tech records
LOS ANGELES The American Civil
Liberties Union of California filed lawsuits
Tuesday against the Sacramento County
Sheriffs Department and the Anaheim Police
Department saying they violated state law by
not providing documents on their use of technology that may be used to intercept phone
calls or text messages.
The lawsuits were filed in state court by the
ACLUs Northern and Southern California
affiliates. They say that the departments
refused public records requests in May and
July regarding their use of Stingrays, a suitcase-sized device tricks that cellphones in an
area into electronically identifying themselves and transmitting data to police instead
of the nearest phone companys tower.
The departments cited rationales including
the Homeland Security Act or trade-secret
privilege to withhold records, the lawsuits
said.

to prosecutors.
The officer stopped the pursuit for safety
reasons but heard moments later on the

camera, according to prosecutors.
Results of his blood-alcohol test are pending and Corns faces up to nine years in

The victim suffered a broken back.

was committed to a hospital on a psychiatric hold, according to Wagstaffe.
Diaz pleaded no contest to the charges
against him in exchange for a referral to veterans court, but the prosecution and probation officer recommended against admitting

Its a court to take defendants who are
veterans and have some special needs, usually mental health, Wagstaffe said. It gets

comment.

Ferguson parts ways with

citymanager after scathing
Justice Department report
By Jim Salter
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FERGUSON, Mo. The

Ferguson City Council on
Tuesday evening unanimously
approved a resolution to part
ways with City Manager John
Shaw following a scathing
Justice Department report that
alleged racial bias in the city
police department and court system.
The St. Louis suburb has been
beleaguered by unrest since a
white police officer fatally shot
unarmed,
black 18-year-old
Michael Brown last summer.
Browns shooting prompted
protests in the St. Louis area and
across the nation, including after
a St. Louis County grand jury
declined to bring charges in
Browns death against Officer
Darren Wilson, who resigned

from
the
department.
The Justice
De p a r t m e n t
also
cleared
Wilson, saying
he acted in selfdefense when
he shot Brown.
But the DOJ
John Shaw
also said last
week that Fergusons police and

Report: Chance of mega-quake

hitting California increases
By Alicia Chang
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Scientists are

virtually certain that California
will be rocked by a strong earthquake in the next 30 years. Now
they say the risk of a mega-quake
is more likely than previously
thought.
The chance of a magnitude-8
quake striking the state in the next
three decades jumped to 7 percent
from 4.7 percent, mainly because
scientists took into account the
possibility that several faults can
shake at once, releasing seismic
energy that results in greater
destruction.

While the risk of a mega-quake

is higher than past estimates, its
more likely greater than 99 percent chance that California will
be rattled by a magnitude-6.7 jolt
similar in size to the 1994
Northridge disaster. The chance of
a Northridge-size quake was
slightly higher in Northern
California
than
Southern
California 95 percent versus 93
percent, according to a report
released Tuesday by the U. S.
Geological Survey.
California is earthquake country, and residents should live every
day like it could be the day of a big
one, USGS geophysicist and lead
author Ned Field said.

Between last summer and this month, as a federally-mandated state review helped detail the scope of the
problems with state oilfield regulation, the state shut down 23 oil-industry injection wells that it found state
regulators had permitted to dump oil-industry wastewater into federally protected water aquifers.

California senators focus on

oil industry, drinking water
By Ellen Kickmeyer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Lax oversight by the state has allowed the

oil and gas industry to contaminate
protected water aquifers and endanger the public, California regulators acknowledged Tuesday while
pledging to intensify supervision.
When it comes to a balance
between supporting the oil and gas
industry in California the countrys No. 3 oil-producing state
and protecting public resources
and public safety, I would suggest
that ... there has not been the
proper balance between these two
mandates for state oil and gas regulators, John Laird, the state secretary of natural resources, told state
senators in a scathing senate hearing. And this is our chance to get
it right.

The
U.S.
Environmental
Protection Agency, meanwhile, set
strict new deadlines for California
to start dealing with more than
2,000 oil-and-gas industry injection wells that state regulators had
allowed to inject into underground
water reserves that are federally
protected as current or potential
sources of water for drinking and
irrigation. In an EPA letter made
public Tuesday, federal regulators
also joined some state lawmakers
in challenging state plans to continue issuing new permits for oilfield injection in certain protected
water aquifers.
Members of state Senate committees on environmental quality
and natural resources convened
after critical state and federal
reviews, and after news reports by
the Associated Press and others,
addressing what state records show

as decades of loose enforcement

and record-keeping gaffes that
allowed some oilfield operations
to threaten underground drinkingwater reserves. An Associated
Press review of state records found
more than one-third of the state
permits granted in apparent violation of the U.S. Safe Drinking
Water Act were awarded since 2011.
The states oil and gas division
had become a flawed agency in
many, many ways in terms of protecting the groundwater as it
should be. The balance really has
gone out of whack, Democratic
San Francisco Bay Area Sen. Lois
Wolk said.
Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson, DSanta Barbara, agreed. None of
this really came to light until there
were exposes in the media,
Jackson told state water and oiland-gas regulators.

Gas prices rising dramatically
Pump prices moved higher this past month despite U.S.
production hitting record levels and strong global supply,
according to AAA Northern California, which tracks gas
costs as a public service.
Todays state prices are $3.43 for average gallon of
unleaded gasoline, a 78-cent rise since the last monthly gas
survey in February. San Mateo has seen prices rise 79 cents
to average price of $3. 47, the highest in Northern
California, according to AAA.
Northern California's average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline is $3.37 thats 75 cents more than
last month. The least expensive average price in Northern
California can be found in Marysville, where regular
unleaded gasoline is $3.21 per gallon, according to AAA.
West Coast markets have seen dramatic run-ups over the
last several weeks due to a number of supply issues. An
explosion last month at ExxonMobils refinery in
Torrance has kept that facility running at severely reduced
rates. Production at Tesoros refinery in Martine also
remains limited as it aims to restart after recent planned
maintenance, according to AAA.

San Carlos gas leak prompts evacuations

A gas leak on Laurel Street in San Carlos prompted firefighters and PG&E crews to call for an evacuation of the
area Tuesday morning.
PG&E spokesman Jason King said the incident was
reported at 10:27 a.m. at 845 Laurel St., near a Chase Bank
branch.
Crews were on scene within 20 minutes and anticipated
stopping the flow of gas by 12:15 p.m., according to
King.
One adjacent building was evacuated.
A construction crew not affiliated with PG&E damaged a
2-inch line while excavating in a nearby alley, according
to King.
King said the incident underscores the importance of calling 811 before any kind of digging or excavation project.

Hillary Clinton on emails: I should

have used government account
By Ken Thomas and Julie Pace
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

UNITED NATIONS Confronting a

growing political furor, Hillary
Rodham Clinton conceded Tuesday it
was a mistake to exclusively use private email as secretary of state, but she
defiantly rejected accusations that she
created a security risk or violated the
law. She also defended getting rid of
tens of thousands of personal emails.
I fully complied with every rule I
was governed by, Clinton said in a 20minute news conference that marked
her first comments on the controversy.
Clintons acknowledgement that she
deleted emails she described as personal in nature is likely to fuel further criticism from Republicans who see the
matter as harmful to the former secretary of states all-but-certain presidential campaign. Because Clintons
emails were run off a personal server
that she does not intend to turn over to
the government, there is no way to
independently verify the content of the
discarded emails.
Clinton said she had exchanged
about 60,000 emails in her four years
as President Barack Obamas secretary
of state. Half were work-related and
none contained classified information,
she said.
The controversy has presented a
major test for Clinton and upended her
careful blueprint for the rollout of her
campaign. The clear front-runner for
the Democratic nomination, Clinton
had planned to spend March touting her
work on womens issues and giving a

handful of paid speeches before
announcing her candidacy in early
April.
Instead, she found herself standing
before dozens of reporters at the United
Nations addressing a matter that has
revived questions of ethics and secrecy
that have long trailed Clinton and her
husband, former President Bill
Clinton. Her appearance came after her
previously scheduled speech on
womens rights at the UN.
Before Tuesdays news conference,

Clintons only comment on the email

disclosures had been a late-night tweet
last week saying she wanted the State
Department to make her emails public.
Her decision to weigh in further came
as Democratic allies began publicly
pushing her to do so.
Asked whether the email disclosures
would affect her presidential ambitions, Clinton said, I trust the
American people to make their decisions about political and public matters.

Good news for some: More people are quitting jobs

By Christopher S. Rugaber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Quitting your job

all but unheard of during and after the
Great Recession is becoming more
common again. That could mean pay
raises are coming for more Americans.
The trend has already emerged in the
restaurant and retail industries, where
quits and pay are rising faster than in the
overall economy. Workers in those
industries appear to be taking advantage
of rising consumer demand to seek better pay elsewhere.
Workers who quit typically do so to
take higher-paying jobs. Thats why
rising numbers of quits typically signal
confidence in the economy and the job
market. As the trend takes hold,
employers are often forced to offer higher pay to hold on to their staffers or
attract new ones.
The Labor Department said Tuesday
that the number of people who quit jobs
rose 3 percent from December to

January to 2.8 million the most in

more than six years. Quits have jumped
17 percent over the past 12 months.
Since the Great Recession ended, the
figure has soared. Just 1.6 million people quit their jobs in August 2009, two
months after the recession officially
ended. That was the fewest for any
month in the 14 years that the figures
have been tracked.
Quits tend to open up more jobs for
the unemployed. One barrier for the jobless in a weak economy is that few
workers risk quitting their jobs to take a
different one, in part because new hires
are often most likely to be laid off.
So most workers stay put, leaving
fewer options for college graduates,
people recently laid off and others seeking work.
The rising number of quits has begun
to affect many larger corporations.
Frank Friedman, interim CEO at the
consulting and auditing firm Deloitte,
says his firms clients, which include
about 80 percent of the Fortune 500, are

increasingly struggling to retain

employees.
The biggest problem for many businesses is talent retention, Friedman
said. Wages are a critical component of
it. The balance of power has changed in
favor of the employee.
Deloitte itself faces the same challenges. Its stepping up its hiring, in
part because more of its employees have
left for other jobs.
The firm plans to add 24,000 people
this year, including paid internships, to
its staff of 72,000. Thats up from the
past several years, when Deloitte typically hired 19,000 to 21,000 people,
and the increase is largely to make up for
more quits.
The same trend is squeezing the restaurant and hotel industries. Nearly half
their workers quit last year, up from
about one-third in 2010. And average
hourly earnings for restaurant employees rose 3.4 percent in January compared with 12 months earlier, before
adjusting for inflation.

New low in relations

between Obama and
congressional GOP
By Julie Pace and Erica Werner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Relations between

President Barack Obama and congressional
Republicans have hit a new low.
There has been little direct communication
between Obama and the GOP leadership on
Capitol Hill since Republicans took full
control of Congress in January. Obama has
threatened to veto more than a dozen
Republican-backed bills. And House Speaker
John Boehner infuriated the White House by
inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu to address Congress without consulting the administration first.
But the dispute over Obamas high-stakes
nuclear negotiations with Iran has put the
relationship perhaps beyond repair.
The president and his advisers are seething
over Republican efforts to undermine the
sensitive discussions with Iran, most recently by sending an open letter to the countrys leaders warning that any nuclear deal
could expire the day Obama walks out of the
Oval Office. I cannot recall another
instance in which senators wrote directly to
advise another country much less a longtime foreign adversary that the president
does not have the constitutional authority to
reach a meaningful understanding with

them, Vice President Joe Biden, who spent

nearly four decades in the Senate, said in an
unusually harsh statement.
For their part, Republican lawmakers call
their outreach to a hostile nation a reasonable response to an administration they say
has spurned Congress and ignored its prerogatives at every turn. Its the starkest sign
yet that Republicans see an adversary, not a
potential partner, in Obamas White House
even on foreign policy issues where partisan differences have traditionally been
somewhat muted.
The mutual efforts to work together under
this administration have just disappeared, so
I think theres a sense now that extraordinary things occasionally need to happen to
be sure that the president understands how
strongly the Congress feels, said Sen. Roy
Blunt, R-Mo.
The dismal state of the relationship has
largely sunk the slim prospects for bipartisan cooperation in Obamas final two years
in office, with one exception being work on
international trade agreements that the
White House and Republicans have long
supported. And with Obama firmly eying his
legacy, even his own advisers have conceded
that a president who took office vowing to
bridge partisan divides is virtually powerless to influence his political opponents.

WASHINGTON Senate Democrats said

Tuesday that the GOP letter about nuclear
talks with Iran undercuts the U.S. at the negotiating table and threatens to torpedo bipartisanship on Capitol Hill when it comes to the
delicate issue of preventing a nuclear-armed
Iran.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham
Clinton also weighed in, saying Republicans
were either trying to help the Iranians or hurt
President Barack Obama.
As negotiators rush to reach an accord with
Iran by the end of the month, partisan bickering continued on Capitol Hill, prompting
Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia to ask,
rhetorically: Is the Senate capable of tackling challenging national security questions
in a mature and responsible way?
Kaine said the letter freshman Sen. Tom
Cotton, R-Ark., wrote to the leaders of Iran
amounted to a partisan sideshow.
The letter, signed by 47 of the Senates 54
Republicans, including members of the leadership and potential presidential candidates,
warned that unless Congress approved it, any
nuclear deal they cut with Obama could expire
the minute he leaves office.
The U.S. and five other nations are working
to craft an agreement that would prevent Iran
from being able to develop nuclear weapons.
Tehran insists its nuclear work is peaceful.
Republicans worry that Iran is not negotiating in good faith and that a deal would be

Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia

insufficient and unenforceable, allowing Iran

to eventually become a nuclear-armed state.
Cotton denied undermining Obamas negotiating position. Appearing on MSNBC, he
said, Were making sure that Irans leaders
understand that if Congress doesnt approve a
deal, Congress wont accept a deal. He
accused Iran of seeking a nuclear umbrella so
they can continue to export terrorism around
the world.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad
Zarif was quoted by the website of Iranian
state TV on Tuesday as saying the letters
warning that any nuclear deal could be
scrapped once Obama leaves office suggests
the United States is not trustworthy. He
called the letter unprecedented and undiplomatic. Earlier, he had dismissed it as a propaganda ploy.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
defended the letter.
If there is not a deal, weve had some of our
Democratic friends say the choice is between
this deal and war, he told reporters. No, the
choice is between this deal and greater sanctions because weve finally discovered one
thing that works.

Federal health insurance aid

in doubt for nearly 8 million
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
and Kevin S. Vineys
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Nearly 8 million people could lose up to $24 billion a year in

health insurance subsidies in a Supreme
Court case threatening President Barack
Obamas law, according to a government
report released Tuesday.
The estimates by the Associated Press
show whats at stake in the case. Health
overhaul opponents argue that subsidies are
illegal in states where the federal government took charge of running the health
insurance marketplaces, or exchanges. The
justices heard arguments last week, and the
courts decision is expected in late June.
Tuesdays report from the Department of
Health and Human Services shows that
about 7.7 million people in the 37 states
with federally-run markets are getting an
average of $263 a month to help pay premiums. That works out to around $2 billion
a month, although it may drop over the
year as the number of people insured fluctuates.
The biggest potential loser would be

Florida, with nearly 1.5 million residents

getting an average of $294 a month. That
works to $440 million a month currently,
or up to $5.2 billion a year for the state.
The subsidies are delivered in the form of
tax credits.
Texas could also face significant exposure. More than 1 million residents are getting an average subsidy of $239 a month,
or nearly $3 billion a year for the state.
In North Carolina, more than 515,000
subsidized customers would lose an estimated $1.9 billion a year.
The figures tell a story of health coverage consumers rely on for financial and
health security, and of coverage they dont
want to lose, said HHS Secretary Sylvia M.
Burwell. Without the subsidies, its expected many consumers would drop coverage.
Across the entire nation, a total of 11.7
million people signed up for 2015 coverage
in the insurance markets created under
Obamas law. The administration has set a
goal of 9.1 million people enrolled and
paying their share of premiums in 2015.
Since some customers have yet to pay, the
official final enrollment figure is still undetermined.

Solar-powered plane lands

in India on second leg of trip
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AHMADABAD, India A Swiss-made

solar powered aircraft landed in western
India on Tuesday night, completing the second leg and its first sea crossing of its
historic round-the-world trip.
The Solar Impulse 2 touched down at
Ahmadabad airport in Gujarat state about 16
hours after it took off from Muscat, Oman,
for the 1,465-kilometer (910-mile) flight
without a drop of fuel.
The worlds first aircraft powered by solar
energy was to remain in Ahmadabad for two
days before flying to the holy city of
Varanasi in northern India on Saturday.
The Swiss pilots, Bertrand Piccard and
Andre Boschberg, will take turns at the controls of the aircraft during their 35,000kilometer (21,700-mile) journey.
The aircrafts wings are covered by more
than 17,000 solar cells that recharge the
planes batteries. It flies ideally at around

25 knots, or 45 kph (28 mph).

On Monday, Borschberg, who co-founded
the Solar Impulse company that built the
plane, flew the Si2 from Abu Dhabi, the capital of United Arab Emirates, to nearby
Oman in the first leg of the epic journey.
The Swiss explorers say their aim is to
highlight the importance of renewable energy and the spirit of innovation. They say
the visionary journey is a strong message
for clean technologies.
Si2 is slated to make 12 stops during its
35,000-kilometer (21,700-mile) journey,
including in China and Myanmar, before it
crosses over the Pacific Ocean. It will then
land in Hawaii and the U.S. Midwest and

Iraq seizes town on outskirts

of Islamic State-held Tikrit
By Qassim Abdul-Zahra
and Vivian Salama
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD Iraqi soldiers and Shiite

militiamen captured a town Tuesday on the
outskirts of the Islamic State-held city of
Tikrit, sealing off Saddam Husseins hometown in preparation to confront the extremists in one of their biggest strongholds,
officials said.
Seizing Alam puts the offensive on course
to attempt to liberate Tikrit in the coming
days, the ultimate battle-readiness test for
Iraqi forces now advancing there without the
support of U.S.-led airstrikes. Their operation likely will set the stage for how Iraq
attempts to retake the more-densely populated cities of Mosul and Fallujah from the
militants.
Iraqi forces entered Alam early Tuesday
morning, their armored convoys roaring
past the empty arid fields and occasional
palm tree before gaining full control hours
later, two Iraqi officials said. By nightfall,
the military sealed off Tikrit on all sides, the
officials said, speaking on condition of
anonymity because they were not authorized
to talk to journalists.
Tikrit, the capital of Salahuddin province,
lies about 130 kilometers (80 miles) north
of Baghdad. Sniper fire and roadside bombs

initially hampered the advance into Alam,

said Ahmed al-Karim, the Salahuddin
provincial council chief. Extremists also
blew up the Alam bridge to slow the Iraqi
force, military officials said.
After seizing Alam, Shiite militiamen
held assault rifles over their heads, chanting
that the Islamic State group was unable to
conquer us. Their involvement has been
key in the Iraqi offensive, as have the
involvement of Iranian military advisers
guiding them.
Among those directing operations is
Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, commander
of the powerful Revolutionary Guards Quds
Force. The overt Iranian role and the prominence of Shiite militias in the campaign
have raised fears of possible sectarian
cleansing should Tikrit, an overwhelmingly
Sunni city, fall to the government troops.
Most battlefield successes in Iraq have
been coordinated efforts, with Iraqi and
Kurdish forces and Shiite militias fighting
on the ground and the U.S.-led coalition
providing air power. The siege of the village of Amirli just north of Baghdad, when
many feared the capital itself might fall, was
broken last year with the help of U.S.-led
airstrikes and a fighting force of mainly
Shiite militias. Shiite militiamen backed by
a coalition air campaign also retook the
town of Jurf al-Sukhr, on Baghdads outskirts, from the militants in October.

Cookie monster?

Time to upzone San Mateo County

By Doug Radtke

ong ago in history, San

Mateo and Santa Clara counties both opted out of the
BART special district. Along with the
gas tax funding the national highway
system, our basic fate as a community
was sealed into a car-dependent sprawl
for half a century.Construction has
always been low in San Mateo County
due a dizzying array of factors ranging
from NIMBYism, obtuse and complex
land use regulations, shadow taxes,
and the many well-intended ordinances that add to the bottom line.
We must take a page out of history
and learn that articially over-controlling the free market through arbitrary measures such as single-use
zoning was a recipe for disaster. The
swan song of all these anachronisms
is the classic idiom the road to
hell is paved with good intentions.
In 2013, Harvard Economics
Professor Edward Glaeser wrote an
excellent piece in The New York
Times on the issue entitled Ease
Housing Regulation to Increase
Supply. I couldnt agree more. There
is almost unanimous consensus
between two extremes progressives and Libertarians, that construction and affordable housing costs
have been wildly inated by the
shadow tax of esoteric layers and
barriers to entry created by government. Construction is impossible
without a lawyer holding your hand to
navigate the complexities local gov-

ernment has created.

The establishment, wealthy and
connected in San
Francisco and San
Mateo counties
always had been
hindrance to true
progress and egalitarianism for the masses. This has
become much more readily apparent
to me during this housing crisis.
San Brunos Measure N was a clear
example to me of what I will term
exclusionary zoning. The benet of
lifting the height restriction benetted primarily the largest San Mateo
Avenue owners the Welch Family
Trust and Artichoke Joes. This statement is not an indictment of
Artichoke Joes or the Welch family,
but just a statement of fact. The
minority and working class individuals outside the zone have no recourse
or options.
The height restrictions could have
been intelligently lifted for a much
larger zone or the entire city to the
benet of all San Brunans; I however,
digress.
Heres my proposal for San Mateo
County cities to course correct our
housing crisis:
I would suggest relaxing current
regulations to encourage additional
construction to occur as quickly as
possible. I have called for this in
Millbrae in the form of lower cost or
free building permits. This could be
tied with temporary rent stabilization

Guest
perspective
ordinances for a xed period of time.
Rent stabilization could be lifted
early through providing the landlord
with the right to upzone either by
building high density market or inclusionary housing on that parcel of
land.
I realize this compromise will never
completely please diehard free market
advocates nor renters or egalitarians
but a rened and detailed version of
this proposal would put maximum
shovels in the ground and incentivize
the density fairly and quickly for
everyone.
We are at the point where partisan
bickering is doing more harm than
good. Lets work together to create
positive outcomes for all residents.

Our dwindling reservoirs
Editor,
If you look at Crystal Springs
Reservoir today one might get the
impression that we have more then
enough water to go around. Of course,
this precious resource comes from
Hetch Hetchy near Yosemite. As a
matter of fact, there are some issues
with the amount of water available as
the snowpack and rain that feed Hetch
Hetchy are at record lows.
Not far from Yosemite is another
reservoir called Lake McClure. Lake
McClure sits 560 feet above sea
level, the bottom currently is about
550 feet. There is a good chance this
reservoir will be out of water by June.
The small towns around it (La Grange,
Coulterville, etc.) are dependent on
this water to live on. These are towns
many of you have probably never
heard of. They have been told not to
irrigate outside, use rain and graywater instead. There are emergency plans
in place to bring in bottled water and

eople deserve an environment that promotes

good health; it is fundamental to the countrys vitality, productivity and security. But
we get the opposite. Kelly D. Brownell, In Defense
of Food.
Each year about this time, the Girl Scouts of America
sell their cookies from tables set up on street corners and
in front of various stores. And every time I see Girl Scouts
out there taking in the money, I cant help but think that
this is another example of how prots trump health concerns. Wouldnt you think that those in charge of the
organization would have learned a thing or two about
nutrition by now? If they had, and they were honest with
themselves, they would have junked the cookies and
changed to something nutritious to sell or another way to
raise money altogether.
For the past several years, the
message has been loud and clear
that such industry concocted,
highly sweetened, fatty products
need to be avoided by anyone
interested in good health. Notice
the list of ingredients of the thin
mints: Enriched our (and all of
the specics that go along with
it), sugar, vegetable oil (partially
hydrogenated palm kernel and/or
cottonseed oil, soybean and palm
oil), cocoa, caramel color, 2 percent or less of leavening
(baking soda, monocalcium phosphate), cocoa processed
with alkali, invert sugar, cornstarch, salt, soy lecithin,
natural and articial avors, oil of peppermint. Sound
appetizing? Sugar is the second ingredient, palm kernel
oil is one of the oils that is recommended that we not consume, caramel color has been implicated in cancer, natural
and articial avors can mean anything ad nauseum!
I have always thought that Girl Scouts of America and
also Boy Scouts were supposed to be organizations
dedicated to educating and improving the lives of young
people. But, if so, why do we see young, impressionable
girls out there selling cookies that any responsible nutritionist would tell them undermine the health of those who
eat them. As an article in the Feb. 14, 2014, San
Francisco Chronicle asked; Could too much sugar be
deadly? The biggest study of its kind suggests the answer
is yes, at least when it comes to fatal heart problems. It
doesnt take all that much extra sugar, hidden in many
processed foods, to substantially raise the risk, the
researchers found, and most Americans eat more than the
safest amount.
Yes, as Michael Moss, author of Salt, Sugar, Fat
informs us, On average, we consume 71 pounds of
caloric sweeteners each year. Thats 22 teaspoons of
sugar, per person, per day. And the American Heart
Association would add: High intakes of dietary sugars in
the setting of a worldwide pandemic of obesity and cardiovascular disease have heightened concerns about the
adverse effects of excessive consumption of sugars.
Besides that, such cookies and other sugary snacks offer
almost nothing in the way of nutrition they are empty
calories pure junk food!
During the last several years, there has been a lot of
action by consumer and government groups to get the
junk food out of schools, to improve school lunches
nutritionally, to improve labels on products so that consumers can easily check for nutrients therein, and tax sugary beverages and even high sugar, nutritionless products
like Girl Scout cookies and Pillsbury toaster strudel. First
Lady Michelle Obama has been campaigning for healthier
lifestyles for children by encouraging more physical
activity and recommending better eating habits, including
replacing the old food pyramid with an icon of a dinner
plate divided into sections that is a guide to the kinds of
foods, and how much of them, we should be eating. Or is
the selling of Girl Scout cookies, like football, a national
icon that we dont dare criticize?
Youd think that those in charge of Girl Scouts of
America would be concerned about the well-being of the
whole child. They make a point of informing us that the
experience of selling their cookies helps girls learn to
handle money, keep records and track orders, activities
that are essential to running a business. Through interaction with each customer and other Girl Scouts, a girl
learns the importance of keeping her word, doing the
right thing, and being fair. A girl learns the business
ethics that will serve her throughout life. But what is she
learning about the importance of good nutrition to her
health and well-being?
Children are our future but one third of them are
overweight or obese. It makes no sense to let the food
industry (along with the Girl Scouts) entice kids to eat
junk food that leads to obesity, diabetes and heart disease
and then try to mend the damage in adulthood.

NEW YORK The seventh year of

the U.S. bull market is off to a rocky
start.
U.S. stocks fell sharply on Tuesday,
wiping out this years gains for the
Dow Jones industrial average and the

Investors are nervous because the
Federal Reserve is likely to raise interest rates soon and because the dollar
has been surging against major currencies, including the euro.
Investors dumped stocks from the
start of trading and the selling accelerated as the day wore on. All 10 industry
sectors in the S&P 500 closed lower.
The Dow sank 332.78 points, or 1.9
percent, to 17,662.94. The S&P 500

to 4,859.79. The Nasdaq is still up
nearly 3 percent so far this year.
The prospect of the Fed raising interest rates for the first time in nine years
is unnerving investors. The Feds
ultra-low rate policy, in place since
2008, has allowed companies to borrow cheaply and has made stocks more
appealing relative to bonds by pushing bond yields lower. The S&P 500

Target lays off 1,700, wont

fill another 1,400 vacancies
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MINNEAPOLIS Target Corp. said Tuesday

that it is laying off 1,700 workers and eliminating another 1,400 unfilled positions as
part of a restructuring aimed at saving $2
billion over the next two years.
The news put a number on planned layoffs
first announced last week as several thousand.
The company said the cuts would fall primarily on headquarters locations in Minneapolis.
The layoffs would amount to about 12 1/2 percent of the 13,500 workers there.
Today is a very difficult day for the Target
team, but we believe these are the right deci-

sions for the company, Target said in a

statement.
New chief executive Brian Cornell has
said the company needs to become more
nimble and innovative. His plan calls for
spending up to $2.2 billion on capital
expenditures in the current fiscal year.
About half that would go toward technology
as Target seeks to grow online sales in an
era when more shoppers than ever are on
mobile devices.
Earlier this year Target said it would end
its foray into Canada, closing all 133 of its
stores there and laying off about 17,000
workers.

Apples Tim Cook cites record

sales and unbelievable year
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CUPERTINO Apple CEO Tim Cook

took a figurative victory lap at his companys annual shareholder meeting, one day
after he announced details about the new
smartwatch Apple plans to start selling next
month.
A year ago, some investors were voicing
frustration over Apples lagging stock and
activist Carl Icahn was pressing Cook to

return more cash to shareholders. But no

complaints were heard Tuesday. Apple
shares are up 65 percent from a year ago, the
company has a market value of more than
$700 billion making it the most valuable
U.S. company in history and will soon
bump AT&T to join the benchmark Dow
Jones industrial average.
Apple sold a record 200 million iPhones
in 2014, which provided the bulk of the
companys $200 billion in revenue.

low on March 9, 2009.

A Fed rate increase would also be
likely to drive up the value of the U.S.
dollar even more. Though a strong dollar sounds good, it can hurt U.S. companies. It makes their goods costlier
for foreigners and shrinks the value of
profits they collect overseas.
Regardless of whether the Fed hikes
in June or September, its coming and
its not very far away, said Craig
Erlam, senior market analyst at
OANDA. That makes the dollar very
strong compared to its peers.
On Tuesday, the euro dropped 1.3
percent against the dollar to a 12-year
low of $1.07.
Talk of U.S. rate hikes comes as central banks in other major countries are
trying to jolt their economies to faster
growth by lowering borrowing costs.
On Monday, the European Central
Bank began buying bonds to lower
long-term interest rates in a program
called quantitative easing, or QE. The
central bank in Japan has a similar
effort underway. The U.S. Fed ended its
bond purchases last year.
When central banks move in opposite directions, it can cause disruptions
in the global flow of capital into
bonds and currencies and, in turn,
stocks.
The hit to U.S. companies from the
stronger dollar comes as they struggle

SAN FRANCISCO An attorney representing a prestigious Silicon Valley venture

capital firm in a gender bias lawsuit questioned the plaintiff Tuesday about why she did
not reject initial advances by a male colleague
and showed jurors emails in which the coworkers appeared to exchange compliments
and banter.
Plaintiff Ellen Pao testified that the colleague first approached her romantically during a trip to Germany after she had been struck
by a cab. She was dazed from her injuries and
couldnt object to his advances, she said.
I got hit by cab and then he tried to hit on
me, Pao testified.
Pao previously testified that the colleague
was relentless in pursuing her, and that she
began an affair with him after he said his wife
had left him. She said she broke it off several
months later when she learned that was a lie.
Pao was questioned for the first time by
defense attorney Lynne Hermle, who represents Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. Their
exchanges were often tense, with Pao staring
at the lawyer and pausing before responding
yes or no.

Jury finds Pharrell, Thicke

copied for Blurred Lines song
LOS ANGELES A jury says singers
Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke copied a
Marvin Gaye song to create Blurred Lines
and awarded $7.3 million to Gayes family.
The eight-person panel reached the decision Tuesday after hearing nearly a week of
testimony about similarities between
Blurred Lines the biggest hit of 2013
and Gayes 1977 hit Got to Give It Up.
Gayes children sued Thicke and Williams,
saying their song infringed the copyright of
their fathers song.
The singers denied copying Gayes music.
Blurred Lines earned more than $5 million apiece for Thicke and Williams.
Although both are credited as its songwriters,
Williams wrote the song in about an hour in
2012, and the pair recorded it in one night.

October, earnings per share for the

Investors are worried that Greece
may run out of money soon. Analysts
say Europe is better protected now

Greek default, but the possibility continues to create uncertainty. Greeces
lenders are withholding rescue money

MA: The Bears captured the PAL South

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The general consensus is that the MenloAtherton boys tennis team is clearly the
favorite to win the Peninsula Athletic
League title.
Aragon, however, is out to prove it is the
second-best
team in
the league.
The Dons are off to a good start in that
regard. After opening the season with wins
over Woodside and Carlmont, the Dons routed host Burlingame 6-1 Tuesday.
Were a really even league, except for MA, said Aragon coach Dave Owdom.
Woodside and Carlmont are good teams.
Aragon (3-0 PAL Bay) won the first three
matches that came off the courts Tuesday to
take a 3-0 lead in the team score. The final
four matches, however, all split sets, giving
Burlingame a chance to pull out a miracle.
When Burlingames Chris Hu had to retire
from his No. 4 singles match, it made
Aragons David Wu a winner with the fourth
team point.
Id rather lose 4-3 than win like that,
Owdom said.
He didnt have to feel too sorry for the
Panthers, as the Dons went on to win the
final three matches of day for the one-sided
victory.
While Owdom is having to replace his top
two singles players, he still has plenty of
depth at doubles where all six players
return from last years team and still has
experience at No. 1 singles in Matthew
Fowler, who played No. 4 singles last year,
and No. 3 singles player Jonathon Liu.
We have pretty good depth at singles,
Owdom said. Theyre all pretty even.
Fowler had a tough time against
Burlingames four-year No. 1 singles player
Scott Taggart, who picked up the Panthers
lone win of the day, 6-1, 6-2 at No. 1 singles.
After that, it was all Aragon. Lander

last season, moved into the No. 2 singles
spot this season, was the first player off

Bearcats go large in first to blast Stangs

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Scoring 15 runs in five previous games this

season, San Mateo baseball hasnt exactly
been an offensive force.
San Mateo (4-2) came out swinging like one
Tuesday though, playing inauspicious hosts
by routing Capuchino 12-1 in a non-league
matchup.
The Bearcats erupted for seven runs in the
first inning. The most runs they had scored in

a single game prior to Tuesday came in a 7-0

win over Westmoor March 2.
Guys were just playing really loose today,
San Mateo manager Nick Sanzeri said. They
brought a lot of energy from the first inning.
It seemed like we were just getting pitches
to hit. Things were just going our way.
San Mateo starting pitcher Sergio Noriega
was the beneficiary. The junior left-hander
went the distance to earn the win, improving
his record to 2-0.
Noriega cruised through the first, but got all

the breathing room hed need after the

Bearcats sent 12 batters to the plate in the
bottom of the inning.
That gave me confidence to go out there
and pitch the game, Noriega said.
The southpaw is the ace of a San Mateo
pitching staff that is still trying to define
itself before Peninsula Athletic League
Ocean Division play starts next week. Three
right-handers are still competing for the
No. 2 spot in the rotation juniors Kevin
Jacobs and Dominic Monozon and senior

Danny Millstein.
But Noriega proved a surefire No. 1 Tuesday.
He featured a three-pitch repertoire with a fastball, curveball and sinker. But it was his ability to control the tempo of the game that
helped shut down a mighty Mustangs offense
currently batting .308 as a team.
Sergio came out today definitely with his
best stuff, Sanzeri said. He established his
fastball early in the count. He got ahead of a

Raiders agree to deal with free agent LB Smith, RB Helu

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders opened

free agency by agreeing to contracts on
Tuesday with former Super Bowl MVP Malcolm
Smith, blocking tight end Lee Smith and running back Roy Helu.
A person with knowledge of the deal said the
team is finalizing the deal with Malcolm Smith
on Tuesday night. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal with the
former Seattle linebacker has not been signed.
Asecond person, also speaking on condition
of anonymity, said Lee Smith has agreed to a
$9.1 million, three-year contract to leave
Buffalo for Oakland.
A third person, also speaking on condition
of anonymity, said Helu agreed to a two-year
deal worth a little more than $4 million.
Those deals were first reported by ESPN.
The Raiders also have reportedly signed former Kansas City center Rodney Hudson to a
five-year contract that CBS Sports said is worth

$44.5 million as general manager Reggie

McKenzie starts using more than $60 million
in salary cap room to upgrade a three-win team.
While the Raiders went into the offseason
with hopes of signing some of the top playmakers like Ndamukong Suh and Randall
Cobb, they started free agency by signing
some lower-tier players.
Malcolm Smith, who has played mostly outside linebacker in his four years with Seattle,
could fill a void at middle linebacker for
Oakland that was created when Nick Roach had
a season-ending concussion in an exhibition
game last summer. Roach was released last
week. Miles Burris struggled in his place.
Smith won the Super Bowl MVP in 2014
when he returned an interception for a touchdown, recovered a fumble and had nine tackles
in Seattles 43-8 win over Denver.
Smith started only five games and played
less than one-third of the defensive snaps for
the Seahawks this past season and was deemed
expendable. But Raiders defensive coordinator
Ken Norton Jr. was Smiths position coach in

Seattle and gave a positive report for Oakland

to sign him.
Lee Smith had 20 catches in four seasons
with Buffalo but is considered a strong blocking tight end to complement Mychal Rivera in
Oakland.
Helu ran for 216 yards on 40 carries for
Washington last season and is an excellent
receiver out of the backfield. He caught 42
passes for 477 yards and will give versatility to
Oaklands backfield alongside Latavius
Murray.
Hudson was rated by Pro Football Focus as
the third best center in the NFL and should
upgrade a running game that was last in the
league in rushing in 2014.
The move to sign Hudson means the Raiders
will cut ties with incumbent center Stefen
Wisniewski, who is also an unrestricted free
agent. Wisniewski was a second-round pick in
2011 when late owner Al Davis still ran the
team.
He was a solid player in four years, starting
61 of the 64 games, but McKenzie and new

coach Jack Del Rio chose to go in a different

direction.
Hudson was picked seven picks after
Wisniewski in the 2011 draft at 55th overall.
After playing mostly as a reserve as a rookie
and being limited to three games his second
year by a broken right leg, Hudson emerged as
one of the top centers in the league the past two
seasons. He started 31 of 32 games and helped
lead one of the NFLs best rushing attacks.
This is expected to be a busy offseason for
the Raiders, who are coming off a three-win
season that cost coach Dennis Allen his job
four games into the campaign. Oakland chose
to hire Del Rio instead of retaining interim
coach Tony Sparano and is hoping to build on
a foundation featuring last years top two draft
picks: linebacker Khalil Mack and quarterback
Derek Carr.
Oakland still would like to find a play-making receiver to help Carrs development, a right
guard to fill the spot vacated when Austin
Howard was moved to tackle, a pass rusher, secondary help and possibly another tight end.

Fast-changing 49ers making waves on and off field

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA The San Francisco

49ers made a splash before free agency even
began.
Franchise rushing leader Frank Gore is
gone. A former Australian rugby star is here.
Star linebacker Patrick Willis announced
his retirement Tuesday and fellow defensive
stalwart Justin Smith might follow. And
Colin Kaepernick is still the quarterback
despite speculation he could be traded,
prompting a team statement.
Colin is our quarterback and we are excited to have him. He is not going anywhere,
general manager Trent Baalke said. The

media reports suggesting otherwise are

without merit and quite frankly ridiculous.
Left guard Mike Iupati is headed to division rival Arizona, while defensive end
Darnell Dockett left the Cardinals to join
San Francisco. Last week, former rugby star
Jarryd Hayne signed with the 49ers hoping
to achieve his goal of playing in the NFL.
On Monday, news broke that fullback
Bruce Miller was arrested on suspicion of
spousal battery. CEO Jed York who said
Dec. 29 that the franchise would move forward by winning with class kept the
focus on Willis during Tuesdays news conference at Levis Stadium and wasnt available to discuss other matters.
This has been an eventful few days, and
its just getting going for the franchise that

let coach Jim Harbaugh go at seasons end

and replaced him by promoting defensive
line coach Jim Tomsula.
Tight end Vernon Davis took to Twitter
congratulating Willis for a great career,
posting how he would miss Iupati and
weighing in on the dramatic changes.
Weve been hit by a lot & it looks like
theres still more to come. Times like this
your FAITH is all you can lean on, Davis
said.
San Francisco was working to add a familiar face in Davis college teammate at
Maryland, wide receiver Torrey Smith, to
replace Michael Crabtree.
Smith posted on Twitter Bay Area!!!!!!
following four seasons with Baltimore,
including the 2012 season when his

Ravens beat the 49ers by three points in the

Super Bowl at New Orleans.
Agent Drew Rosenhaus didnt immediately return messages.
The 26-year-old Smith had 49 receptions
for 767 yards and 11 touchdowns last season.
He will be reunited with former Ravens
teammate Anquan Boldin in what could be a
dynamic receiving corps.
Smiths deal is for a reported five years
and includes $22 million in guaranteed
money and could be worth as much as $40
million, according to ESPN.
San Francisco announced it had re-signed
tight end and long snapper Kyle Nelson to a
four-year deal.

Skyline bats erupt for late comeback WILLIS

Continued from page 11

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The swinging Trojans just keep hitting.

Skyline baseball faced a late deficit
Tuesday at Chabot but rallied late for a 9-5
comeback victory.
The Trojans (4-1 in Coast Pacific, 11-5
overall) scored seven runs over the final
three innings while totaling 19 hits on the
day. After tying the game 5-5 in the seventh
on Matt Seuberts two-out RBI single,
Skyline jumped in front when Keaton
Eichman led off the eighth inning with his
first collegiate home run.
It was smoked, Skyline pitching coach
Tony Brunicardi said. It got out in a hurry
and it didnt get more than 30-40 feet off the
ground.
Skyline has now won three of its last four
games and maintains a half-game lead over
Cabrillo in the Coast Pacific Conference.
Batting .333 as a team, Skyline is tied with
Cosumnes River as the best hitting team in
the state. Seven Trojans had multi-hit games
with Nobu Suzuki, Phil Caulfield, Ismael
Orozco and Michael Franco tabbing three
hits apiece. Seubert, Jarrod Hopper and Nic
Bongi a trio of Carlmont grads had two
hits each.
Phil Caulfield currently paces the team
with a .455 batting average, ranking eighth
in the state.
But it was a big pitching performance that
held the fort for Skyline. Right-hander
Michael Espino made his first appearance in
nearly a month to earn the win. Espino
emerged in the first inning in relief of starting pitcher RJ Hanson, who departed after
one-third of an inning while surrendering
four runs.
Hanson was called upon to make a spot
start when scheduled started Tommy Caulfield
was scratched due to back tightness.
After Hanson faltered, Espino having
last pitched Feb. 13 soldiered through 8

Tuesday with a 6-0, 6-1 victory for the first
point of the day for the Dons.
Liu had just as easy a time at No. 3 singles. Playing a lot at the net, Liu cruised to
a 6-2, 6-2 victory for Aragons third point.
Owdom said the net game is something he
is stressing to his singles players this season.
Thats one of the things weve been

2/3 innings allowing one

run on five hits while
walking three against two
strikeouts. The freshman
improves to 2-0 on the
year.
We were looking to
get three or four innings
out of him to get our midKeaton Eichman dle relief innings but
then he just hit stride,
Brunicardi said.
Chabot (1-4, 5-13)
jumped on top in the first
4-0 with five extra-base
hits in the inning. But
with one out and runners
at the corners, Skyline
rolled up a 6-4-3 double
play to escape further
Mike Espino damage.
The Skyline offense
was quiet until the fifth. With runners at the
corners, Hopper doubled home Suzuki and
Phil Caulfield to cut Chabots lead to 4-2. But
the Gladiators scratched out a run in the bottom of the frame on an RBI single by
Michael Echavia to re-up to 5-2.
Echavia was one of four Gladiators
along with Ian Dawkins, Brett Binning and
Blake Guardino to tab two hits in the
game.
In the seventh though, Skyline sent eight
batters to the plate against the Chabot
bullpen to tie it.
Franco led off the inning with a single and
eventually moved around to third. Phil
Caulfield singled him home. Orozco added a
hit to put runners at the corners before Bongi
delivered an RBI single. Seubert then provided the game-tying knock to plate Orozco.
After Eichman homered to left field to lead
off the eight, Orozco added an RBI single to
score Suzuki. Skyline added two insurance
runs in the ninth on back-to-back RBI
knocks by Franco and Suzuki.
working on, Owdom said. With long
points against elite guys, we have to shorten points. Jonathon played pretty well
today.
The Dons second point of the day came at
No. 3 doubles where William Miyahara and
Evan Johannet the newest addition to the
Dons doubles unit won their match 6-4,
6-2.
The final two doubles matches went
Aragons way as well, but Burlingame (1-2)
put up more of a fight, forcing the Dons to
win both in three sets.
At No. 1 doubles, Alex Ilyin and Fabio
Gallardo dropped the first set to

Theyve done it all year long, Brunicardi

said. Theyve proven they can come back
and they just believe. They know they dont
have to get it all back at one time.
The win marks just the second time
Skylines 15th-year manager Dino Nomicos
has won at Chabot and the first time ever in
regular-season play.

West Valley 8, Caada 1

Caada starting pitcher Rory McDaid took
a 1-0 lead into sixth, but then the floodgates
opened for West Valley Tuesday at Caada
College.
The Vikings (2-3, 9-10) rallied for three
runs in McDaids final inning of work. Then
in the seventh, West Valley roughed up
relievers Chris Hau and Alberto Gonzalez for
five more runs.
Billy Mullins earned his first win of the
season for the Vikings; he improves to 1-2.
McDaid took the loss, working six innings
while surrendering three runs (two earned) on
eight hits. His record falls to 3-3.
The Colts (3-3, 11-5) totaled just six hits
in the game. Sophomore Greg Bildhauer
accounted for half of them, going 3 for 4 with
an RBI.

Cabrillo 5, CSM 0
College of San Mateo (5-1 in Coast Golden
Gate, 12-7 overall) managed just five hits
and committed four errors at Cabrillo to suffer its first loss of the year in Coast Golden
Gate Conference play. It marks the first time
the Bulldogs have been shut out since April
5, 2014.
The Seahawks (4-2, 11-7) scored two in
second, two in the fifth and one more in the
eighth. Zane Greenberg and Luke Tokunaga
had two hits apiece for Cabrillo. CSM freshman Ryan Krainz was 2 for 3.
Draco Roberts went 1 for 2 for the
Bulldogs and currently ranks sixth in the
state with a .463 batting average.
Burlingames Pierce Thompson and Kevin
Taggart 6-7, losing 5-7 in the tiebreaker.
Ilyin and Gallardo rebounded, however, to
win the second set 6-2 and wrap up the win
with a 6-1 victory in the third set.
Tony Wang and Sameer Jain started off
their No. 2 doubles match much like Ilyin
and Gallardo by dropping the first set 16 against Akhil Patel and Peter Mueller. But
Wang and Jain responded by winning the
final two sets 6-3, 6-2.
If we cant win doubles there will be none
(victories), said Burlingame coach Bill
Smith, who is having to replace his No. 2,
3 and 4 singles players.

Im saying to myself, Man, Id love

nothing more than to win a Super Bowl, I
would love nothing more than to bring No. 6
back here, Willis said. I would love nothing more than to be able to lace up them
cleats and not worry, Are my feet going to be
all right today just to practice so I dont look
old at 30?
Willis was sidelined with a strained muscle
in his left big toe. He was placed on seasonending injured reserve on Nov. 11 after getting hurt in the third quarter at St. Louis on
Oct. 13.
These feet, boy, boy, boy, Ive made no
excuses, said Willis, who notes his feet
spoke to him. When you dont have no
feet, thats what has made me what I am. I no
longer have in these feet to give you guys
that kind of Wow.
Late Monday, Willis posted on social
media a message that hinted at his farewell
from football and included a series of references to Bible verses.
Willis had missed six games in his career
before this latest injury sidelined him for the
final 10 games of 2014 for San Francisco,
which struggled to an 8-8 finish without him
and missed the playoffs for the first time in
four years.
Patrick Willis the consummate pro! A
football player, former 49ers coach Jim
Harbaugh, now at Michigan, said by text
message.
About a half-dozen of his 49ers teammates
attended his news conference at Levis
Stadium. Willis regularly wiped his eyes with
a tissue.
Willis signed autographs for fans outside
team headquarters and thanked the regular
media who covered him.
He redefined his position, coach Jim
Tomsula said. Thats a different man. Pat
changed a lot of lives here. Pat will change a
lot of lives. ... Ive never heard Pat Willis
complain.
While Aragon is off to a strong start,
Owdom is not prepared to anoint his team as
the second-best team in the PAL. He is not
one to look past the next match on the
schedule.
Im the old-school cliche, Owdom said,
referencing the one-game-at-a-time
mantra most coaches utilize.
You never know what can happen.
Landers had a wrist thing last week.
Matthew had a foot issue.
If they stay healthy, well see what happens.

lot batters which helps against a
good team like Cap.
The San Mateo bats were the story
though.
The Bearcats jumped on Cap starting pitcher Oscar Martin on the second pitch as Jacobs started the hit
parade by drilling an opposite-field
triple to right field. Noriega followed with an RBI single to score
Jacobs. The Bearcats then loaded
the bases for Ethan Wolf, who
bounded a ball up the middle that
went for a two-run infield error,
scoring Joe Veglak and Memo
Gomez.
After that, San Mateo banged out
five straight hits. Luis Chavarin
singled to load the bases. Then
sophomore Nikos Maheras singled
on the infield to drive home
Monozon. No. 9 hitter Line Latu
followed with an RBI single to drive
home Wolf and an outfield error
allowed Chavarin to score from sec-

ond. Jacobs then tabbed his second

hit of the inning on a towering
popup behind first base that no one
could handle to drive home Latu.
Noriega shot a double to left field
to extend the inning, but San Mateo
stranded runners at second and third
on an inning-ending groundout
with a sweet pick by Mustangs first
baseman Joe Galea to avoid further
damage.
Everybody was really excited,
Sanzeri said of the Bearcats dugout
amid the big first inning. The energy was really high in the dugout.
Thats something we want to try and
continue.
Cap got its only run in the fourth.
Joe Katout led off with a triple to
center. Sean OMahony followed
with a one-out single to left to plate
Katout. But the Bearcats got the run
back in the bottom of the frame
then added one in the fifth and three
more in the sixth.
Latu batting out of the No. 9
spot paced San Mateo with a 3for-3 afternoon.
Latu in the nine spot, hes kind

These teams are very similar: not one, bigtime scorer, but complete teams who get contributions up and down their rosters.
James Logan had won 15 of 16 games
before losing to Pittsburg in the NCS semifinals.

Division III

Ho w they g o t here
H: The Knights finished second in the PAL
South Division with a 10-2 mark. They bowed
out of the PAL tournament in the second round,
however. They rebounded, however, to
advance to the CC DIII title game, falling to
Branham.
MC: The Mariners finished in third place in
Mission Valley Athletic League with a 9-5
record, behind James Logan-Union City and
Mission San Jose-Fremont two teams
playing in the Nor Cal tournament.
The Mariners had won 8 of their last 9
before falling to top-seeded Miramonte in the
NCS semifinals.
Who to watch
H: The Knights will need a healthy backcourt to compete. Rachiel Tjan missed the previous three weeks before getting some run in
the CCS championship game. Her backcourt
mate, Caelynn Hwang, sprained her ankle in
practice leading up to the title game and was
far from effective against Branham.
No tes
The task for Hillsdale is really simple: the
Knights have to shoot the ball better. They
have all the other aspects in hand defense
and rebounding. But 32 percent shooting
against Branham wont do it in Nor Cals.
This could just the beginning of a Moreau
Catholic juggernaut. The Mariners dont have
one senior on this years roster, which
includes seven freshmen, three sophomores
and two juniors.

MS: The Knights finished third behind
state power Pinewood and DV power Eastside
College Prep in the West Bay Athletic LeagueFoothill Division, before running the table in
winning the CCS DIV championship.
D: The Rams finished in a first-place tie
with West Campus in the Golden Empire
League of the Sac-Joaquin Section. They won
their first two SJS tournament games before
losing in the semifinals.
Who to watch
MS: When the Knights are going well,
they are draining 3-pointers in bushels.
Junior Hannah Paye had nailed a team-high 37
3s, with junior McKenzie Duffner second with
31. Sophomore Sam Erisman is third with 21.
D: The Rams have three players averaging
double figures scoring: Brooke Spradling (14

Four of Menlos eight losses came to
Pinewood and Eastside Prep. Pinewood, which
finished second in the CCS Open Division, is

Eastside Prep is the No. 1 seed in DV.
Dixon had won 14 in a row before losing in
the section semifinals.

NDB: Like they often do, the Tigers took
care of business during non-league play,
going 12-3. They took their lumps in West
Catholic Athletic League play, winning just
once, before earning the No. 1 seed in the CCS
DIV tournament and advancing to the finals,
losing the championship game to Menlo.
A: The Cubs finished second in the
Northern League. At 8-2, they were a game
behind league champ Central Valley. The Cubs
lost to that same Central Valley team by a
point in the Northern Section title game, 4645.
Who to watch
NDB: Senior forward Eleni Giotinis is the
teams heart and she makes most of her impact
felt on the defensive end.
Offensively, Emma Pastorino is averaging
just under 11 points per game.
A: Katie Nunnelley and Kilee Hannan pro-

vide a bulk of the Cubs average of 53 points

per game. Nunnelley scores an average of
18.8 points per game, while Hannan chips in
with just under 12 a game.

You will be hard pressed to find a more battle-tested team than Notre Dame-Belmont.

Athletic League play as part of a 16-game winning streak which included its first-ever
Open Division victory, 51-46 over Riordan.
The streak was snapped in the semifinals by
St. Francis and was the start of a two-game
slide.
MV: The Mavericks went just 3-9 for a
fourth-place finish in Golden Empire League
play in the Sacramento valley. As the No. 12
seed in the Sac-Joaquin Section, they surprised everyone with a run to the Division IV
semifinals.
Who to watch
SHP: Corbin Koch has returned to his nonleague scoring prowess, with games of 28 and
29 points in losses to St. Francis and Mitty.
A lot of help has emerged throughout the
season, however. Mason Randall and Connor
Moses, if dialed in from deep, can carry the
scoring load for SHP as well. Center Andrew
Daschbach is making his presence felt in the
playoffs.
MV: Bret Lynch has lit up opponents this
season, averaging nearly 19 points per game,
with a season-high 39 points coming in late
January. Hes had 15 games of 20 points or
more this season. Darius Woods added just
over 10 points per game.

If there is any team that is now battled tested, its SHP. The Gators ability to play with
West Catholic Athletic League teams is now

locked in from behind the arc, SHP could make
a run.
Mesa Verde struggled mightily down the

their regular-season finale, which kicked off a
three-game winning streak, including its first
two playoff games.

HMB: The Cougars were one win from an
undefeated league season when they fell to
Terra Nova. That started a slide of four losses
in five games. They beat M-A in the first round
of the PAL tournament, but have since lost
three in a row including back-to-back losses to Serra and Palma in the CCS Open
Division bracket.
SPSV: The Bruins finished second behind
El Cerrito in the Tri-County Athletic LeagueRock Division with a 6-4 record.
They were the No. 2 seed in the North Coast
Section Division IV tournament. SPSV cruised
into the semifinals where they were knocked
off by No. 6 Marin Catholic.
Who to watch
HMB: Its been the same story for the

three go and forward Case Dufrane, center
Austin Hilton and guard Tommy Nuo have
been shut down by the opposition recently.
Dufrane has only one double-digit scoring
game in his last four; Hilton one in his last
five. Nuo did not score in their last two
games.
SPSV: Tavian Henderson leads the Bruins
with just over 16 points per game the only
player scoring in double figures and just
under seven rebounds. BJ Standley triggers
the offense, handing out an average of five
assists per game, while also scoring just a
shade under 10 points.

HMB showed some fight in the loss to
Palma in the Open Division consolation
bracket, losing by just three points, 45-42.
The Cougars also already own a win over
SPSV, 51-45 in January.

After hiatus, I.W. Harper bourbon coming back to U.S.

I

.W. Harper would like very much to be

the next Pappy Van Winkle, that
cultishly popular bourbon that sets
the liquor world alight and commands thousands of dollars per bottle.
And it isnt alone. Just about every
American whiskey of a certain caliber is
chasing the dream, and they all use roughly
the same formula. Craft a story to go with
your spirit, toss in some scarcity and moderately high prices, then hope to get
noticed and ride the bourbon boom to fame
and fortune.
So Ill be blunt. I.W. Harper is not going
to be the next Pappy Van Winkle. But for
those of us unable or unwilling to shell out
that sort of cash to knock one back, this is
a good thing.
Thats because I.W. Harper launching
this month by liquor giant Diageo in 4- and
15-year-old iterations offers the full
package: a compelling story, a great sip,
just enough scarcity to make it desirable
without being unattainable, and a price that
sets it apart without putting it out of reach.
Lets break it down.

THE STORY
If you only came of drinking age since
the 90s, chances are the I.W. Harper name
doesnt mean much. Thats around the time
it disappeared from the U.S. market.
Remember, this is back when only your
grandparents were drinking whiskey (and
probably bad whiskey). So I.W. Harper
pulled out of the U.S. and focused on Asia.
Twenty years on, whiskey is the new
vodka, so I.W. Harper is coming back.

IN THE BOTTLES
This isnt quite the same I.W. Harper from
back in the day, but Diageo American
whiskey ambassador Doug Kragel says
its awfully close. Were fortunate enough
to have in our possession a lot of whiskey
from the New Bernheim Distillery (in

J.M. HIRSCH

Louisville, kentucky)
that can go into this
whiskey, which was a
huge part of the original I.W. Harper.
The 4-year bourbon
is an 82 proof easy
drinker that is distinctly sweet and creamy,
thanks largely to a
mash bill of 73 percent
corn. Its an everyday
bourbon, fine for mixing, but nothing amaz-

ing.
Focus instead on the 15-year, which
sports 86 percent corn for an almost fruity,
lightly sweet, particularly smooth
whiskey. And you still get some bold character hidden in there, thanks to a nice hit (6
percent) of rye. At 86 proof, its a fine sipper and savors nicely. And with a $74.99
suggested price, thats how youll want to
I.W. Harper offers the full package: a compelling story, a great sip, just enough scarcity to make
drink it. Despite being roughly twice the
price as the 4-year, this is the better value. it desirable without being unattainable,and a price that sets it apart without putting it out of reach.

ON THE SHELVES
The 4-year will be available just about
everywhere. The 15-year? Not so much.
Kragel says that secondary markets (those
of us in the sticks) likely will get only a
few bottles.
With all that in the mix, why wont the
15-year I.W. Harper be the next Pappy? Its
not for lack of quality. This bourbon is a
pleasure to drink. But Pappy-ness requires
people to clamor for a bourbon. I.W.
Harper is relying too much on nostalgia to
trigger that. And anyone under 40-something and those are the folks driving the
bourbon boom arent going to be nostalgic for it (because many of us were still
drinking Capri Sun).
Thats a good thing. Those of us looking
for a great whiskey at a fair price finally
stand a chance. Assuming we can find a bottle.

by requiring juvenile products be clearly
labeled with whether they contain flame retardant chemicals tied to health hazards like cancer, infertility, lower IQ levels, hormone disruption and hyperactivity. When burned,
flame retardants can create carbon monoxide
and are extremely hazardous to firefighters as
well, Leno said.
Senate Bill 763 would apply to everyday
childrens goods like bassinets, high chair
pads, nap mats, strollers, kids upholstered
furniture, infant seats, baby carriers worn by
parents and more.
Lenos legislation builds off his previous
successes to label upholstered furnishings
and encouraging state officials to update
Californias decades-old flammability standard that led to the pervasive use of fire retardants in the first place.
Opponents of Lenos efforts fear the public
is losing sight of the protective value flame
retardant chemicals offer and argue federal
authorities already provide regulatory guidance.
Still, Leno contends his efforts are vital to
educating consumers and offering them
options.
Over the years we came to understand
how dangerous these chemicals are. They
bioaccumulate in our body, theyre bio-pervasive, they can be found in our food chain,
they can be found in the blood of polar bears
in the North Pole, Leno said. Its important to label them because these are products
with which our youngest and most vulnerable have their most intimate daily contact.
Theyre possibly sucking on them, theyve
got their head buried in them, theyre
embraced by them and these chemicals are

Prime contends Harris bowed to political
pressure and imposed the most extensive and
overreaching conditions in history.
But Harris shot back at Prime in her own
statement Tuesday.
I imposed conditions to ensure the continuity of these health care services, including
the most essential health care services remain
in place for 10 years ... Prime is choosing to
walk away from this transaction after publicly
stating that it had no issue with the 10-year
conditions and intended not to close any of
the hospitals or end essential services,
Harris wrote in the statement.
Primes decision, Harris wrote, shows that
it did not make continuing the services the
hospitals provided a priority.

most dangerous to them.

Surveys conducted by the Center for
Environmental Health revealed several leading manufacturers sold childrens products
that either contained flame retardants or failed
to disclose whether their items were made
with these chemicals, said Charles Margulis,
spokesman for the center. Furthermore,
reports of discrepancies between what a manufacturer, distributor or seller claim is used in
a particular childrens product is troubling,
Margulis said.
We tested a wide range of products and
quite often when a product is made with foam,
that foam is made with flame retardant chemicals. So were quite glad the bill is being
introduced, Margulis said. Having a legal
requirement is a very simple matter, these
products already have tags, its nothing burdensome to the company.
While many childrens products are exempt
under the states flammability standards,
which spawned the use of flame retardants
starting in 1975, Leno said polyurethane
foam commonly used in infants items is
widely treated with the harmful chemicals.

Widespread use
Prior to Gov. Jerry Brown taking action in
2013, the decades-old law Technical Bulletin
117 required upholstered furniture sold in
California to be able to withstand a direct
flame. Due to the states marketplace presence, it resulted in the widespread use of flame
retardants across the world, as it was unreasonable for manufacturers to make products
for one state alone. Now, the updated requirement known as TB 117-2013 only requires
products withstand smoldering and can be met
without the use of flame retardant chemicals.
Leno said SB 763 is a continuation of his
successful legislation last year that requires
upholstered furniture such as beds and couches be labeled as to whether they contain flame
retardant chemicals. Ultimately, the hope is
The purchase of the hospitals by Prime was
endorsed by the California Nurses Association
but the union that represents other hospital
workers, the Service Employees International
Union/United Healthcare Workers West,
opposed it.
SEIU/UHW praised the conditions Harris
forced on the deal and urged the Daughters of
Charity Tuesday to consider selling off each of
the six hospitals individually.
Santa Clara County has agreed to purchase
OConnor Hospital in San Jose and Saint
Louise in Gilroy and a nonprofit has its eyes
on purchasing two of the hospitals in the Los
Angeles area, according to the SEIU.
The SEIU claims a respected health care
company is lined up to buy Seton Hospital in
Daly City and Seton Coastside Medical Center
in Moss Beach but declined to divulge who
they say the buyer is.
It is unlikely another company would accept
the same terms and conditions that Harris
placed on the Prime deal, said San Mateo

informed consumers through market demand

will phase out the use of flame retardants,
Leno said.
Our new fire safety standard, equally fire
safe allows for compliance with or without
the use of these toxic flame retardants. So its
really a free market concept, which is why our
most recent efforts have enjoyed bipartisan
support, Leno said. The products will be
labeled so a consumer can know and well
send a market signal as to which choices they
prefer.
Brian Goodman with the American
Chemistry Council, an industry advocacy
group, argues flame retardants are a vital tool
and already subject to review by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency and other
agencies in the United States and around the
world.
We should not lose sight of the fact that
flame retardants provide an important layer of
fire protection and help save lives,
Goodman wrote in an email. Rather than
focusing on bills that would duplicate the
efforts of existing agencies, we would prefer
to work with California policymakers and
other stakeholders on legislation that would
build on the progressive fire safety measures
that have been responsible for the reduction
in fires and fire deaths in California over the
last several decades.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Lenos bill is already garnering support and

is co-sponsored by the California
Professional Firefighters, Center for
Environmental Health and Consumer
Federation of California.
Leno cites years of failed legislative efforts
to highlight the harmful effects of flame retardants and retract their presence in common
household products as a struggle in the face of
heavy, and misleading, lobbying efforts.
Several years ago, chemical industry representatives operating under the guise of the

group Citizens for Fire Safety and its affiliate

Californians for Fire Safety Institute, allegedly supported false testimony, according to
Leno. He added the groups deceptive fear tactics scared some fellow lawmakers into backing down from attempts to protect the public
against flame retardants.
Per Lenos bill, juvenile products sold in
stores would have to have a label. Products
sold online or in magazines would have to
indicate whether they contained flame retardant chemicals and disobeying the law could
result in fines between $1,000 for a first
offense and up to a $10,000 penalty for a
fourth or subsequent violation.
The Bureau of Electronic and Appliance
Repair, Home Furnishings and Thermal
Insulation which oversees the states flammability standard would be responsible for
regularly ensuring samples of products claiming to be retardant free are tested with a list of
violators potentially posted online.
Leno said hes confident simply providing
consumers with the ability to make informed
choices about what types of products they
want to expose their families to will help
change industry practices and the worlds
market.
Parents do their very best to keep their
children and toddlers safe. But all of that could
be worth little if the consumer products they
spend their days with are themselves health
risks, Leno said. Using flame retardants
became a de facto national standard because
of the size of Californias market. It was easier for manufacturers to make all of their products comply with our safety standards.
Unfortunately well be paying the price of it
for decades to come because even though its
getting easier by the week to find products
without these chemicals, sofas often stay in
ones home for 30 years. And theres the disposable problem that we have not addressed.
Where are we going to put all of these products?

County Supervisor Don Horsley, who represents coastside residents.

The county has also been subsidizing
Setons services in the area with $1.2 million
monthly payments, Horsley said.
Losing skilled-nursing beds and emergency
services will hurt Medi-Cal patients the most,
he said.
The Daughters of Charity expressed disappointment with Primes decision.
We strongly disagree with Primes position on the attorney general conditions. We
are confident that Prime could successfully
turn around the DCHS hospitals, Elizabeth
Nikels, spokeswoman for the Daughters of
Charity wrote the Daily Journal in an email.
Over the coming days, we have difficult decisions to make and we will communicate those
decisions after we have a chance to consult
with our advisers, boards of directors and the
Daughters of Charity.
Seton is Daly Citys largest employer with
1,200 workers.

Daly City Councilman David Canepa said

north San Mateo County cannot operate without a hospital.
Its a sad day ... what Im hoping they dont
do is file for bankruptcy. That is not the right
approach. Daughters of Charity has a commitment to our community to remain open and
operational, Canepa said.
Daughters of Charity is losing about $10
million a month, Prime argued, which makes
keeping the service as is unsustainable.
If it continued to run the system as is, it
would lose $3 billion over the course of the 10
years, according to Prime.
Horsley said he understood Primes decision.
Ten years is a long time to not be able to
make adjustments, Horsley said.
Prime promised to keep the hospitals open
for five years, fund the pensions of 17,000
current and former employees and invest $150
million in capital improvements as well as
maintaining or increasing charity care.

Fresh take on Irish stew with lamb, Guinness and soda bread
By Alison Ladman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Chicken and dumplings is a wonderfully

simple, deliciously comforting dish a
thick, meaty stew bubbling away beneath a
patchwork of moist, pillowy dumplings.
So we decided to channel that comfort for
a dish suited for St. Patricks Day. Taking
inspiration from classic Irish ingredients
and dishes, we came up with this over-thetop savory lamb stew with a rich broth made
from beef stock, Guinness beer and fresh
rosemary.
And dolloped over the top? Soda breadstyle dumplings that are at once hearty and
tender.
Like most stews, this one only improves
with age. For a do-ahead option, prepare the
stew as directed, but chill it after the pureeing and recombining steps. When ready to
serve, return the stew to a simmer, then proceed with the dumpling portion of the
recipe.

to transfer the lamb to a plate. Add the
mushrooms to the pot and cook until well
browned and tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Use a
slotted spoon to transfer mushrooms to a
bowl and set aside.
Add the onion, carrots, celery, potato,
cumin and rosemary to the pot. Cook until
beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Return
the lamb to the pot. Add the Guinness and
broth. Cover and cook for 45 to 60 minutes,
or until the lamb is tender and the vegetables are cooked through. Using tongs,
transfer the chunks of lamb to the bowl with
the mushrooms.
Working in batches if necessary, ladle the
vegetables and broth into a blender and
blend until smooth. Return the mixture to
the pot, along with the lamb and mushrooms. Return to a low simmer.

baking soda. In another bowl, whisk
together the buttermilk, egg and melted butter. Gently mix the buttermilk mixture into
the flour mixture. Using a spoon or a cookie/ice cream scoop, dollop the dough on top
of the stew. Cover and cook for about 10

SQUARE
Continued from page 1
The New Home Company along with
MidPen Housing, Lennar Homes of
California and Atria Senior Living will
gather for a symbolic groundbreaking event
at the site on Civic Center Drive between
Shell and Foster City boulevards.
When all is said and done, the site for ages
55 and older is set to host 155 assisted living units constructed by Atria, 66 affordable
units produced by MidPen, 200 for-sale condominiums developed by Lennar, a community plaza and nearly 35,000 square feet of
retail and commercial space.
Attendees at Thursdays event will be able
to meet with representatives from the various development companies as well as see
renderings of the future Foster Square.
We really came up with a group of professionals who are some of the best in their
field, to make sure the whole community
comes together right, said Brian Olin, senior vice president of The New Home
Company. We spent countless hours working with the Planning Commission and
City Council and city staff to make sure we
got it right. Its a very well-thought-out

TEACHERS

Excelencia Preparatory and Rocketship
Education charter schools drawing students away from the district, officials
said.
This year is unusual for the district as
we must anticipate the impact of the new
charter schools on the district enrollment, said spokeswoman Naomi
Hunter.
Beyond the teaching jobs, two assistant principal positions, a counselor,
language teachers, outreach specialist,
reading teachers and counselor jobs are
on the block too.
Superintendent Jan Christensen, in
an email, expressed dismay regarding
the districts decision to notify
employees that they may not have a job
next year.
We are always sad when we have to
issue layoff notices. We have excellent
teachers in our district, and we have
invested significantly in training
them, she said. These layoff notices
are not a reflection of job performance
regularly, many highly effective
teachers will receive notices this week.
McBride said he understands the
impact of the decisions the board faces,
and how giving pink slips to teachers
has a real and profound impact on the
lives of district employees.
We do not do this lightly, he said.
Its very hard, and we do take it very
seriously.

development on a very prominent piece of

property within the center of the city.
Once the city sold off part of the property
formerly known as the 15-acre site for the
construction of the Foster City Peninsula
Jewish Community Center, the City
Council spent years trying to determine
what would be worthy of its remaining piece
of undeveloped city-owned land.
The council eventually landed on designing a senior community at the site, but faced
setbacks due to the economy in 2008 and
again when Gov. Jerry Brown dispersed
redevelopment agencies, a major funding
mechanism for affordable housing, in 2011.
Its been a long time coming, Mayor
Art Kiesel said. Were seeing all kinds of
dirt moving and a lot of things happening
there. And for me, the most important
thing, from my perspective, is this is senior housing. Im concerned about the
seniors on fixed incomes in the Peninsula.
The rents are going through the roof, I dont
want to see our seniors have to move somewhere else because it matches their pocketbooks.
The City Council carefully laid out conditions of approval in selling the site, including insisting the affordable housing component be constructed first. The Foster City
based nonprofit MidPen served as the projects linchpin until it was awarded $15.7

April Chou, chief growth and operating officer at KIPP, said in an email the
charter school looks forward to serving
students in Redwood City.
KIPP Excelencia Community Prep is
opening in response to demand from
parents in Redwood City for more educational options, she said. Redwood
City has a long history of providing
choices to meet the needs of students,
and we are honored to be partnering with
the district to be one of those options
for families.
Hunter noted that should more money
become available to the district during
the state budget process, some of the
teachers who receive layoff notices will
be able to keep their job, but there is no
guarantee they will return.
It is also possible that by the time
we know additional funds are available,
many of our staff will have already found
jobs in other districts, she said.
The district is expected to suffer a
$1.5 million deficit, according to the
most recent budget revision that will be
discussed at the meeting.
Part of the budget struggle comes from
shrinking student population, as the
district is funded in part by average daily
attendance, or money allocated by the
state based on how many students attend
school each day.
Enrollment is projected to shrink by
829 students next year, to 8,012 students, and by another 343 the following
year, according to the report.
Fewer students are expected to be
entering the district through kindergarten, as 1,080 students enrolled for
the first time this year, but 111 fewer are

million in federal tax credits last June

allowing the remainder of the development
to proceed. It has since begun laying the
foundation for the affordable units set aside
for those 62 years and older, which it anticipates to finish in the first quarter of 2016,
said MidPen President Matt Franklin.
One of the many ways in which the city
really provided great leadership in this
development is in the face of the elimination [of redevelopment agencies] they
stuck with their plan to require 15 percent
of these units be dedicated affordable housing for low income and committed some of
their general fund dollars. That really
had a catalytic effect. They challenged the
county to do the same, to continue to
invest in affordable housing despite the
loss of redevelopment agencies, Franklin
said.
MidPen was awarded $2.75 million from
San Mateo County for Foster Citys portion
of former redevelopment agency funds and
project-based section 8 vouchers dispersed
by the countys housing department, a
MidPen representative said previously.
Foster City itself contributed a $4.75 million loan to be repaid over 55 years.
With MidPen underway, Lennar is slated
to begin construction next month followed
by Atria beginning in June. Olin said he
anticipates the majority of the develop-

expected to join the district next year,

and only 778 are expected to come to
the district in the 2016-17 school year.
But the enrollment attrition exists
across the board, as class sizes at each
grade level are expected to shrink in the
following couple years, according to
the report.
Hunter said the district will not know
actual enrollment figures until August,
but it is more difficult to project this
year than most.
This year there is even more uncertainty than usual due to the two charter
schools that are opening, she said.
KIPP and Rocketship Education charter schools are expected to join the district next year, which McBride cited as
the greatest drain from the districts student pool.
Nearly 700 students are expected to
attend the charters next year, according
to district projections. A third charter
school, Connect Community Charter
School, is on the campus of Fair Oaks
Elementary School.
The process leading up to the charter
schools joining the district has been
mildly contentious, as officials have
expressed reservations regarding the
impact that the charter schools are
expected to have on the district.
But McBride said the hands of officials are tied, as there is no ground to
deny the charter schools joining the district, despite the financial hardships the
schools might create.
The rules are the rules and the law is
the law, he said, And its bigger than
just teachers or staff too. We are having
to do more with less money.

ment, including the public spaces, to be

finalized by the end of 2016. However,
wrapping up construction of Lennars for
sale residences may depend on the market,
but will likely culminate in 2017, he added.
The retail component will be mixed-use
style with about 10,560 square feet below
the 66 affordable housing units and another
20, 400 square feet of space below the
assisted living units, according to city staff
reports.
Franklin and Kiesel said theyre thrilled
to see movement at the site set aside for a
growing population thats being increasingly surrounded by unaffordable rents.
The need is overwhelming in San Mateo
County and throughout the region, seniors
are one of the fastest growing demographics
in the county and a majority of seniors are
on fixed incomes, Franklin said. We
expect to see overwhelming demand for
these [affordable] units and well have at
least 1,500 or 2,000 applications for [66]
units.
