Vegas hotel laundry chute death
LAS VEGAS A California woman
whose body was found in a Las Vegas
hotel-casino laundry chute likely fell
from the 18th floor to an area 15 floors
below, police said Tuesday after initially calling her death suspicious.
Homicide detectives found no indication Kalli Medina-Brown, 26, of
Citrus Heights, was killed but believe
she tumbled to the laundry collection
area on the third floor at the D Hotel

Her body was discovered in the laundry chute about 2:40 a.m. Sunday at the

History students seek national acclaim

South San Francisco High School participates in national history day challenge
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

South San Francisco High School students embarked on a journey to discover

lessons of the past, which some hope will
lead to national recognition and a brighter
future.
Hundreds of students will participate in
the national history day competition at the
school next week, as they present research
exhibits, websites, documentary films and
other projects that have been developed
through countless hours of work.
Winners of the school event will have an
opportunity to compete in a county competition, with their focus on moving to the
state fair in Sacramento, and eventually the
national contest in Washington, D.C.
A school team finished fourth in the
national competition last year, said teacher
Rhonda Clements, and she believes the
projects this year have the merit to do just
as well, if not better.
I think Im going to have some really
strong competitors this year, said
Clements.
In the wake of students qualifying for the
national competition last year, Clements
worked diligently to raise funds and help
cover travel expenses, as the school districts budget was stretched thin to pay for
accommodations.
U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo,
even chipped in to the effort, contributing
$1,000 toward the travel cost and hosting
the students on a tour through the Capitol
building when they arrived in Washington,
D.C.
Speier, who went to elementary school in
South San Francisco, said she felt compelled to help students from a similar background as her.
These are bright, young, motivated
students that deserve a shot at the brass
ring, she said. And we should do what

Comment on
or share this story at
www.smdailyjournal.com
we can to support them.
Beyond the opportunity to gain broad
recognition, and possibly win a college
scholarship awarded by the History
Channel to some who place in the national
competition, Clements said the projects
help students hone skills that will serve
them in their pursuit of a higher education
and a career.
This is really sort of finding what is at
the heart of a topic and exploring it from a
variety of different angles, she said. So
many times our students are asked to just
focus on rote learning. This is a lot more
complicated and simulates what kids might
be asked to do at a college level.
Those skills include students selecting a
topic they are passionate about, exploring
the issue through in-depth research such as
conducting interviews with experts and
ultimately presenting their findings in a
paper and project which is judged by students, teachers and past participants in the
competition.
Students learn how to manage projects,
those who work as a team need to develop
their collaboration abilities and everyone
has to learn how to accept a harsh, honest
critique of their work, said Clements.
Kanani Cortez, 16, is one of Clements
students who is taking aim at hopefully
repeating the success of past student groups
in the national competition.
Cortez and her three teammates are studying the life and work of Robert Noyce who
founded the Intel Corporation and was an
early pioneer of Silicon Valley.
The project sparked Cortezs passion and
interest in an issue she previously had no
desire to research, and has been inspired to

find out more about the ways Noyces work

shaped the future of the Peninsula, she
said.
It is almost impossible to not be interested in it, Cortez said of her project.
Cortez and her teammates have selected
to create a documentary film on their topic,
requiring them to quickly become familiar
with the intricacies of film editing and narrative storytelling, beyond the extensive
amount of work needed to research the project.
Students in Cortezs group have driven as
far as the East Bay to conduct interviews
with experts on the history of the region,
which she said sets a new bar for her investment in a school project.
Ive never done this much research, but
Ive really learned how to refine these
skills, she said. Not all the answers are
going to be on Google.
Cortez estimates, in all, she and her teammates invested more than 100 hours in
developing their project, with more work
on the horizon.
But as the hours rack up, Cortez said she
becomes more confident she will be rewarded on the national stage.
We can make a very competitive project,
and that is what we have been working on,
she said. Im confident. We have the brain
power, dedication and support from our
school to achieve something like that.

PHOENIX Authorities trying to rescue a family begging for help after their 26-year-old son opened fire in their
Phoenix home arrived to a chaotic crime scene they could
not prepare for.
The shooter ignited a raging fire and was still inside.
Officers donned breathing gear, grabbed fire hoses and ran
in, hoping to save lives.
They pulled out two victims, but they had to make a hasty
retreat as bullets flew their way.
The violence played out in a cul-de-sac of quiet, suburban
family homes Tuesday morning. Authorities eventually
found Vic Buckner, 50, Kimberly Buckner, 49, and their 18year-old daughter, Kaitlin Buckner, who were all pronounced dead. A 6-year-old daughter, Emma, later died at a
hospital.
The shooter was the couples son, Alex Arthur Buckner,
who was fatally shot by police, Sgt. Trent Crump said.
Three officers were treated for smoke inhalation.
The chaos woke up residents in surrounding houses, forcing some to evacuate just before dawn.
Yolanda Strayhand, who lives behind the burned home,
said her elderly mother woke her up after hearing gunfire.
Strayhand went outside and said her front yard looked like a

California condors reach key

survival milestone in the wild
By Keith Ridler
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOISE, Idaho A captive breeding program that at one

time included every living California condor has passed a key
milestone in helping North Americas largest bird return to
the wild.
For the first time in decades, more condors hatched and
fledged in the wild last year than adult wild condors died, officials with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said Monday.
Fourteen young condors took flight compared with 12 that
died. Officials say its a small difference but a big step since
the last 22 wild condors were captured in the 1980s to start
the breeding program that releases offspring into the wild.
Thats an indication that the program is succeeding, said
Eric Davis, the Wildlife Services coordinator for the
California condor program. We hope that wild birds start
producing wild chicks, and that is what is happening more
and more.

Californias tax board voted Tuesday to lower the state excise tax on gasoline by 2.2 cents per gallon.

California tax board lowers

gas tax 2.2 cents per gallon
By Don Thompson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Californias tax

board voted Tuesday to lower the state
excise tax on gasoline by 2.2 cents
per gallon as of July 1.
Drivers in California overpaid their
gas taxes last year under a complicated
formula that was used to help bridge a
state budget deficit in 2010, Board of
Equalization Vice Chairman George
Runner said. So the board voted 3-2 to
lower the tax to 27.8 cents per gallon
for the fiscal year that ends June 30,
2017.
That move would reduce the amount
of money going to roads and mass
transit programs by about $328 million next year.
The board calculates the tax rate to
bring in the same amount of money

More

the old sales tax would have collected.

Drivers may not see a difference at the
pump because of that and other factors
affecting gas prices.
The board pre-emptively reduced the
gas tax by 6 cents last year to avoid
over-collecting because of lower gas
prices, but it still took too much. The
adjustments are supposed to ensure
that over a three-year period,
motorists pay the same amount in
state taxes at the pump as they would
have paid under the old tax.
Lowering the rate is the right thing
to do, and Im sure Californians will
welcome this reduction, Runner said
in a statement announcing the decision after the board met in Culver
City.

consecutive decreases will reduce

transportation funding by three-quarters of a billion dollars over the next
five years and may delay projects.
Although Caltrans will continue to
prioritize safety projects, todays
action emphasizes the need for the
comprehensive transportation funding package that the governor continues to call for, he said. State lawmakers have so far been unable to reach
agreement on a funding plan.
Board member Fiona Ma, who also
voted for the cut, urged Gov. Jerry
Brown and lawmakers to find another
way to pay for transportation projects.
Drivers pay an additional 18.4 cents
a gallon to the federal government and
a 2.25 percent sales tax that benefits
local governments. Some local governments also add their own taxes.

Barack Obama:
Guantanamo
must be closed
By Lolita C. Baldor
and Kathleen Hennessey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obamas plan to close the
detention center at Guantanamo
Bay, Cuba slammed into a wall of
Republican
opposition
on
Tuesday, stopping cold Obamas
hope for a bipartisan effort to
close a chapter that began in the
aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks.
The long-awaited proposal,
which was requested by Congress,
is Obamas last attempt to make
good on an unfulfilled campaign
promise by persuading Congress
to change the law that prohibits
moving detainees accused of violent extremist acts to U.S. soil.
Fourteen years after the facility
opened and seven years after
Obama took office, the president
argued it was finally time to
shutter a facility that has sparked
persistent legal battles, become a
recruitment tool for Islamic militants and garnered strong opposition from some allies abroad.
I dont want to pass this problem onto the next president, whoever it is, Obama said in an
appearance at the White House. If
we dont do whats required now, I

think
future
generations are
going to look
back and ask
why we failed to
act when the
right course, the
right side of
history, and jusand our best
Barack Obama tice
American traditions was clear.
Despite the big ambitions,
Obamas proposed path remained
unclear. The plan leaves unanswered the politically thorny
question of where in the U.S a new
facility would be located. It offered
broad cost estimates. The White
House described it as more of a
conversation starter than a definitive outline.
Republican leaders in Congress
showed no interest in having that
conversation.
We will review President
Obamas plan but since it includes
bringing dangerous terrorists to
facilities in U.S. communities, he
knows that the bipartisan will of
Congress has already been
expressed against that proposal,

McConnell, R-Kentucky.

menu of options, which does not
include a policy for dealing with
future detainees.
Obama has missed a major
chance to convince the Congress
and the American people that he

has a responsible plan to close the

Guantanamo Bay detention facility, he said.
Its not clear whether that
chance ever existed. Momentum
to close the facility has slowed
dramatically
under Obamas
tenure. Congress remains deadlocked on far less contentious
matters, and the issue has little
resonance on the presidential
campaign trail.
Still, for Obama, the facility
stands as painful reminder of the
limits on his power: His first
executive order sketched out a
timeline for closing the prison,

but was ultimately derailed by

Congress.
The White House has not ruled
out the possibility that the president may again attempt to close
the prison through executive
action a move that would
directly challenge Congress
authority. The plan submitted
Tuesday does not address that
option.
Instead, the proposal reflects
the administrations strategy of
shrinking the population, hoping
the cost of housing the diminished
population would ultimately make
closure inevitable.

U.S. convening meeting on

countering IS recruitment
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Obama administration is convening a meeting this week

to discuss efforts to counter the propaganda of the Islamic State and its recruitment
of Westerners to become terrorists.
The meeting scheduled for Wednesday
afternoon at the Justice Department
involves government officials as well as
dozens of representatives from advertising
and social media companies and Silicon
Valley. It will be followed by a reception at
the White House.
The summit reflects ongoing concerns
about slick Islamic State propaganda that
encourages disaffected young adults to join
the terror groups cause in Syria or to commit acts of violence closer to home.
Officials and private sector executives
have been brainstorming ways to fight
that messaging, which has often spread
through social media platforms such as
Twitter.
The Justice Department in the last year
has brought charges against dozens of
people tied to support for the Islamic
State, many of whom were drawn to online
propaganda.
Over the past year, organizations and
companies across a range of industries
have asked how they might contribute to
efforts to counter radicalization and
recruitment activities by ISIL and other
violent
extremists,

The government recognizes that the private sector has a crucial role to play in

The meeting takes place amid an ongoing technology encryption clash that has
divided the Obama administration and
Silicon Valley, though a government official said the meeting had nothing to do
with that topic and was planned long
before the current flare-up between the
Justice Department and Apple Inc. over
access to a locked iPhone became public
last week in a California court.
In that matter, a federal magistrate has
ordered Apple to help the FBI gain access
to a phone used by one of the gunmen in
the December terror attack in San
Bernardino. The company is expected to
file a written objection on Friday.

Scalia suffered from many health problems

By David Warren
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DALLAS Antonin Scalia suffered from

coronary artery disease, obesity and diabetes, among other ailments that probably
contributed to the justices sudden death,
according to a letter from the Supreme
Courts doctor.
Presidio County District Attorney Rod
Ponton cited the letter Tuesday when he told
the Associated Press there was nothing suspicious about the Feb. 13 death of the 79year-old jurist. He said the long list of
health problems made an autopsy unnecessary.
Ponton had a copy of the letter from Rear
Adm. Brian P. Monahan, the attending
physician for members of Congress and the
Supreme Court. The letter was to Presidio
County Judge Cinderela Guevara, who conducted a death inquiry by phone and certified
Scalias death.
The letter dated Feb. 16 said Scalias many
significant medical conditions led to his
death, Ponton said.
In the letter, Monahan listed more than a
half-dozen ailments, including sleep apnea,
degenerative joint disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and high blood pressure. Scalia also was a smoker, the letter
said.
Ponton declined to provide a copy of the
letter, saying an open-records request must
be made to Guevara.
The AP filed a records request with the
judge last week, but she did not provide the
letter or respond to a reporters phone message Tuesday. The Texas Department of State
Health Services has declined to release a
copy of the death certificate.
Scalia was found dead in his bed at the

U.S.-China tensions persist

despite progress on North Korea
WASHINGTON The U.S. and China
showed no sign of quelling tension in the
disputed South China Sea as their top diplomats met in Washington on Tuesday. A leading U.S. military officer told Congress that
China was seeking to control East Asia.
But there was progress on another front.
Secretary of State John Kerry and Chinese
Foreign Minister Wang Yi said they were
close to agreement on a U.N. resolution to
punish North Korea after its recent nuclear
test and rocket launch.
China has been reluctant to impose the
kind of tough sanctions on its neighbor and
traditional ally North Korea that the U.S.
has been seeking. But an even more pervasive source of strain in the relationship
between the two world powers has been over
accusations over militarization in the South
China Sea, an important thoroughfare for
world trade.

Mexico border, where he had gone on a
hunting trip.
Dr. Mark Hlatky, professor of cardiovascular medicine at Stanford University, said a
79-year-old man with those conditions,

apnea, would be at risk for a potentially
fatal heart arrhythmia.
A lot of people do die in their sleep, and
theyre found the next day.
The conditions are also associated with
pulmonary embolism and stroke, which
could also kill somebody very suddenly.
Scalias death, he said, was unexpected,
but it sounds like it wasnt suspicious.
The justices many ailments, taken
together, were quite dangerous, said Dr.
David Zich, a physician of internal and
emergency medicine at Northwestern
Memorial Hospital.
Zich said he would advise a patient with

Those are the main two things someone A couple takes photographs of a painting of late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia

The rest falls on the physician to medically manage blood pressure and make sure
their blood sugar levels are controlled
well.
Zich said he would also want such a
patient to use a continuous positive airway
pressure machine, or CPAP, at night for
sleep apnea to make sure the heart and body
arent stressed while sleeping.
Guevara, who as county judge is the top
administrator in the area, previously said
she conferred by phone with Sheriff Danny
Dominguez and a U.S. marshal before certifying the death. On the day Scalia died, she
also conferred with Monahan by phone
before determining the cause of death.

Logistics cause delays on
first day of Brazil Zika study
JOAO PESSOA, Brazil U.S. and Brazilian health workers seeking to determine if the Zika virus is causing a surge
in birth defects ran into the chaotic reality of northeastern
Brazil on their studys first day Tuesday. Traffic and logistical problems shredded their schedule, delaying or preventing meetings with mothers and babies.
The plan conceived in the air-conditioned halls of
Brazils Health Ministry and the Atlanta headquarters of the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had seemed
simple:
Eight teams of disease detectives are looking to enroll
about 100 mothers of babies with microcephaly, a rare
defect that causes newborns to have unusually small heads
and damaged brains. They also want to sign up two to three
times as many mothers of babies without the birth defect,
born in the same area at around the same time.
Maternity hospitals in Paraiba, the impoverished state
that is one of the epicenters of Brazils tandem outbreaks of
Zika and microcephaly, provided the CDC and its Brazilian
partners with mothers addresses.
The field teams just had to show up at the homes and persuade mothers to participate in the study, which is aimed at
determining if Zika really is causing microcephaly in
Brazil, as the government insists, even as a growing number of critics contend that there is not enough evidence yet
to make the link.

Four indicted in U.S. on

charges of violating Iran sanctions
SEATTLE A man arrested at the U.S.-Canada border last
week is one of four people accused of conspiring to violate
trade sanctions by sending technical equipment to Iran
some of which ended up with the Iranian military, a prosecutor said Tuesday.
Shahin Tabatabaei, of Vancouver, Canada, was arrested
entering Washington state at Lynden, north of Seattle, on
Friday, the FBI said. According to a federal indictment in
California that has been under seal for the past two and a
half years, he ran companies in Mexico and Canada that
shipped American items through Turkey or the United Arab
Emirates into Iran from 2007 to 2011.
The items appear to have had applications in the oil and
gas industry, and the indictment suggests at least some had
potential military uses. Assistant U. S. attorney Todd
Greenberg told U.S. Magistrate Judge Mary Alice Theiler on
Tuesday afternoon: A number of the items went to the
Iranian military. That is a national security concern.

Proposed truce accepted by

Syrian government, opposition
By ALlbert Aji and Bassem Mroue
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DAMASCUS, Syria Syrias government on Tuesday accepted a proposed U.S.-Russian cease-fire that is
to go into effect later this week, but
reserved the right to respond to any
violations of the truce. The main
opposition and rebel umbrella group
approved the deal but set its own conditions.
The developments followed an
agreement between Washington and
Moscow for a new cease-fire set to take
effect at midnight Friday local time in
the 5-year-old civil war, even as major
questions over enforcement remain
unresolved.
The truce does not cover the Islamic
State group, Syrias al-Qaida branch
known as the Nusra Front, or any other
militia designated as a terrorist organization by the U.N. Security Council.
But exactly where along Syrias

complicated front lines the fighting

would stop and where counterterrorism
operations could continue under the
truce is still to be addressed. The fivepage plan released by the U.S. State
Department also leaves open how
cease-fire breaches would be dealt
with.
While accepting the proposed truce,
the Syrian Foreign Ministry said its
operations will continue against IS,
the Nusra Front and other terrorist
groups. It also stressed the right of its
armed forces to retaliate against any
violation carried out by these groups.
Cabinet minister Ali Haidar said the
government will respect the cease-fire
in principle, although he could not
speak on behalf of the armed groups.

The main umbrella for Syrian opposition and rebel groups, the High
Negotiations Committee, gave conditional approval late Monday. The HNC
said acceptance was conditional on the
government ending its siege of 18
rebel-held areas, releasing detainees
and halting aerial and artillery bombardment.
However, Talal Sillo, a spokesman
for the predominantly Kurdish Syria
Democratic Forces, told the AP that his
group will not abide by the truce
because its fighting against the
Islamic State group in northern Syria.

agreement but said its the best pathway for ending the bloodshed.

Enough is enough?

The future of Sharp Park

By Roman Berenshteyn

hen a golf course loses

hundreds of thousands of
taxpayer dollars every
year, harms endangered species as it
operates and is expected to be overcome by sea level rise and storm
surges in the coming years, one could
easily reason that the land should be
repurposed especially when there
is a perfectly sound and more benecial alternative to using the land.
Sharp Park Golf Course, owned by
San Francisco but located in Pacica,
faces all of these problems. It has lost
millions of taxpayers dollars over the
past several years, and storm surges
caused by sea levels will eventually
wash the entire course out to sea. Its
wetland draining activities destroy
the eggs of the threatened California
red-legged frog, and its lawn mowers
run over the endangered San Francisco
Garter Snake.
Fortunately, a coalition of conservation, recreation and good government groups have devised a feasible
plan to transform Sharp Park into a
new public park everyone can enjoy:
a plan that San Franciscos Board of
Supervisors endorsed just a few years
ago. The plan would provide new
recreation opportunities that better
reect modern recreation demand, protect endangered species, sustainably
adapt to sea level rise and even provide Sharp Park golfers with subsidized golf rates at San Franciscos ve
other municipal golf courses.
But according to recent reports, San
Mateo County is engaging in negotiations with San Francisco Mayor Ed
Lees administration to keep Sharp
Park Golf Course in place permanently, by foisting these problems onto
San Mateo County taxpayers. While
details are scarce, it is now known
that Mayor Lee and San Mateo County
Supervisors Adrienne Tissier and
Carole Groom all avid golfers
are pushing a long-term lease agreement in which San Mateo County taxpayers would shoulder the brunt of
Sharp Park Golf Courses economic

and environmental
problems, without
rst considering
any other recreation options for
the land. Given
environmental and
economic realities,
it would be reckless
of San Mateo
County to do so. Sharp Park Golf
Course has been consistently losing
money for over a decade now, totaling
at least $1.8 million in net losses
(wildequity.org/versions/5056).
Future losses will likely be even
worse: Indeed, San Francisco recently
passed a budget that increased the
general fund subsidy to the golf fund
by nearly a million dollars over last
years budget.
Despite all this evidence, San
Mateo County Supervisor Don
Horsley asserted in the Pacica
Tribune
(marinscope.com/pacica_tribune/ne
ws/county-studies-options-to-takeover-sharp-park-golfcourse/article_e0886006-889d-11e5905e-872774e96500.html) that he
believes the golf course makes
money. Surprised by this statement,
we submitted a Public Records Act
request for all the documents the county maintained that supported this
assertion. We were informed by the
San Mateo County Counsels Ofce
that no such documents exist.
In fact, there is no reasonable
expectation that this remote golf
course can ever be protable: The Bay
Area golf market is grossly oversupplied, and golf demand has plummeted
over the last decade. Indeed, courses
in Brentwood, Sunol, Livermore,
Martinez and Pleasant Hill closed in
just the past year, and San Jose is now
in discussions to close a sixth course
(insidebayarea.com/news/ci_293917
68/bay-area-golf-courses-struggle-tostay-in-the-game).
No marketing gimmick can overcome these market conditions, especially since coastal Sharp Park Golf
Course has no customers to the west.
And to the east, there are several golf
courses closer to population centers

Guest
perspective
in San Francisco and San Mateo
County, courses that offer golfers
quicker, easier access and a better
product.
Nor can design changes make Sharp
Park protable the environmental
constraints will always make it far
more expensive to operate than the
golf course can earn, because the landscape wants to revert to a coastal wetland. Sharp Park is the low point in a
large watershed, and when the winter
rains come the golf course oods with
fresh water from the east, making the
course unplayable for days or weeks.
And to the west, sea level rise and
storm surges are causing the ocean to
advance on the land. To defend Sharp
Park Golf Course from these environmental conditions would require capital investments costing taxpayers
hundreds of millions of dollars.
Yet Mayor Lee has blocked the San
Francisco Board of Supervisors legislation to repurpose Sharp Park into a
new public park we can all enjoy, and
his administration is now engaging
in negotiations with the San Mateo
County Board of Supervisors to foist
these problems on us all, for decades
to come, without ever considering
alternative recreational opportunities
on the land.
We all deserve better from our representatives. Creating a new public
park at Sharp Park provides environmental, social and economic benets
to the public, and these benets
deserve to be part of the debate over
Sharp Parks future. Contact your
supervisor today and tell them you
dont support deals to take over this
unsustainable golf course.

he education industry is nothing if not trenddriven, and sometimes fads manage to calcify
into indisputable facts that spur backlash
when challenged. Esther J. Cepeda, San Mateo County
Times, Feb. 14, 2016.
Reading about the proposal of the San Francisco Unified
School District to offer free condoms to middle school students was rather stunning. One of our grandsons is in seventh-grade this year and the thought that middle schools may
be handing out condoms to kids this age is disturbing.
The story goes that San Francisco public school leaders are
considering this program to further prevent sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy among minors. The proposal
introduced to the school board would authorize condoms to
be handed out to middle school students following a one-onone information session with a school nurse or social worker. The session would include information about the risks and
effectiveness associated with condom use as well as letting
students, including the
minors in middle school,
know that abstinence is the
only 100 percent effective
way to prevent unwanted
pregnancy and STDs.
Many questions arise. 1).
Arent there required sex education classes that thoroughly and appropriately inform
these young teens about
abstinence, safe sexual activity and the great life-changing consequences of possibly producing a child before
they are ready to care for it?
2). Isnt it hypocritical to say Dont do it and then giving
the impression that We know you will by handing out free
condoms? 3). Isnt this forcing information into intermediate kids heads before many may be ready for it possibly
giving them ideas that may not have occurred to them. For
instance, Everyone else must be doing it, so why shouldnt
I? 4). Do they think that all middle school kids would be honest about their sexual activities? 5). And most important, are
they taught how their actions at this age can set them up for a
life of failure and distress or one of success and satisfaction?
6). Would parents be involved in the process? 7). Doesnt the
requirement that no one could refuse to take part in this program going a bit too far?
It is reported that only 5 percent of middle school students
are sexually active. Maybe those who are pushing this program need to study the reasons why such very young teens
may be needing a condom. Are they possibly looking for the
attention, love and acceptance that they dont get elsewhere?
Are girls trying to feel popular by mimicking the female sex
objects that engulf them from the media? Maybe the use of
Facebook and Twitter need to be investigated and how this
often turns into a contest to see who can be most lurid and/or
outrageous.
Are they informing girls that the whole of their female
worth does not depend upon whether a male finds her sexually attractive and that women are as capable as men to determine the direction of their lives? Are they helping boys learn
to take responsibility for their actions and understand the
potential destructiveness of the macho image? Young people
desperately need to appreciate the value of life and that what
they do today can have a tremendous effect upon their future.
If parents arent doing this, maybe the schools should include
them in the deliberations.
Have they reviewed and evaluated the 16 topics included in
the guidelines for sex education classes in high schools
offered by the Centers for Disease Control? I listed four of
them in my column on Feb. 3. They are: The benefits of being
sexually abstinent. The influences of family, peers, media
and technology and other factors in sexual risk behavior. The
importance of using condoms consistently and correctly.
How to create healthy and respectful relationships.
Several more topics include: Preventive care that is necessary to maintain reproductive and sexual health. How HIV and
other STDs are transmitted. Health consequences of HIV,
other STDs and pregnancy. A few that may be a bit too complicated for middle schoolers include: Communication and
negotiating skills related to eliminating or reducing HIV,
other STDs and pregnancy. How to access valid and reliable
health information, products and services related to HIV,
other sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy.
Of course we cant expect all middle school students to
practice abstinence, but shouldnt a couple of comprehensive
required appropriate sex education classes be adequate? I may
be extremely naive, but I wonder how many middle school
students would ask the school nurse for a condom? As Debra
J. Saunders wrote in the Feb. 7 Chronicle: If 95 percent of
middle schoolers are not having sexual intercourse, why
would adults want to establish a social norm of middle
schoolers having sex? Thats the problem with San
Francisco elected officials are always pushing the envelope, when nobody asked them to.

Stocks end lower as commodities prices fall

NEW YORK Stocks fell

broadly on Tuesday as commodity
prices retreated. Crude oil sank
more than 4 percent. Investors
remained worried about growth in
China as the country cut the value
of its currency against the dollar
yet again.
Investors were also discouraged
by a report showing that consumer
confidence fell to its lowest level
in seven months.

points, or 1. 3 percent, to
1,921.27 and the Nasdaq composite fell 67.02 points, or 1.5 percent, to 4,503.58.
As has happened multiple times

with energy prices.

Energy stocks fell far more than
the rest of the market, with the

energy component of the S&P 500

dropping 3.2 percent.
Its not uncommon to see stocks
give up some of their gains after a
strong multi-day like the one that
happened last week, but traders
say the mood in the market is still
cautious. They note that trading

Apple to tell judge in encryption

case that Congress must decide
By Tami Abdollah
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Apple Inc. will

tell a federal judge this week in legal
papers that its fight with the FBI over
accessing a locked and encrypted
iPhone should be kicked to Congress,
rather than decided by courts, the
Associated Press has learned.
Apple will also argue that the
Obama administrations request to
help it hack into an iPhone in a terrorism case is improper under an 18th
century law, the 1789 All Writs Act,
which has been used to compel companies to provide assistance to law
enforcement in investigations.
A lead attorney for Apple, Theodore
J. Boutrous Jr., previewed for the AP
some of the companys upcoming
arguments in the case. Apples chief
executive, Tim Cook, has also hinted
at the companys courtroom strategy.

issues. Key lawmakers have been
openly divided about whether the
governments demands in the case go
too far.

Scientists find cause of air bag explosions
DETROIT Scientists hired by the auto industry have
determined the circumstances that cause Takata air bags to
explode violently and hurl shrapnel into drivers and passengers, a person briefed on the matter said.
The scientists, who have been investigating the cause for
the past year, are expected announce their findings Tuesday
afternoon.
Takata uses ammonium nitrate to create a small explosion
and inflate air bags in a crash. But its air bag inflators have
caused at least 10 deaths and 139 injuries worldwide.
The Virginia rocket science company Orbital ATK has
determined that a number of factors must act in combination
to cause the explosion, including but not limited to the presence of moisture that degrades the ammonium nitrate,
according to the person, who was not authorized to reveal
the findings and didnt want to be identified.
The cause of the problem has eluded investigators for more
than a decade, and Takata of Japan has given multiple explanations including quality control problems at manufacturing
facilities and exposure of the air bags to high humidity.

Saudi oil minister says

market should handle low prices
HOUSTON Saudi Arabias oil minister said Tuesday that
production cuts to boost oil prices wont work, and that
instead the market should be allowed to work even if that
forces some operators out of business.
Ali Al-Naimi said production cuts by big, low-cost producers like Saudi Arabia would amount to subsidizing highercost ones an apparent reference to U.S. shale oil drillers.
Booming U.S. production effectively ended oil trades at
more than $100 per barrel that were taking place less than
two years ago. A barrel of U.S. crude is now hovering around
$30, a price at which many shale operators are assumed to be
losing money.
The producers of these high-cost barrels must find a way
to lower their costs, borrow cash or liquidate, Naimi said.
It sounds harsh, and unfortunately it is, but it is the more
efficient way to rebalance markets.
Naimi disputed a common view in the industry: that Saudi
Arabia has kept pumping oil to protect its market share and
undercut shale producers. We have not declared war on shale
or on production from any given country or company, he
said.

Amid coal market struggles,

less fuel worth mining in U.S.
BILLINGS, Mont. Vast coal seams dozens of feet thick

But an exhaustive government analysis says that at current prices and mining rates the countrys largest coal
reserves, located along the Montana-Wyoming border, will
be tapped out in just a few decades.
The finding by the U.S. Geological Survey upends conventional wisdom on the lifespan for the nations top coalproducing region, the Powder River Basin. It also reflects
the changing economic realities for companies seeking to
profit off extracting the fuel as mining costs rise, coal
prices fall and political pressure grows over coals contribution to climate change.

Giants Pagan ready to accept new role

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Angel Pagan

arrived for the rst full-squad workout of
spring training with the Giants and made
clear he is embracing his new role in left
following the addition of Denard Span to
take his old job as center elder and leadoff
hitter.
The move initially surprised Pagan, who
is entering the nal year of a $40 million,
four-year contract signed in December
2012.

Like anybody, when

thats your position and
youre being asked to
play a different position,
I was surprised, but at the
same time Span is a great
center elder, Pagan
said ahead of Tuesdays
rst
practice
at
Stadium.

Every player has pride,
and you have to sit down and understand at
some point you have to make a move. I prepared myself really well for center eld and

the team asked me to move to left eld, Im

on board 100 percent. Im here to do whatever the team needs me to do.
Not long after speaking at his clubhouse
locker about ve feet from Spans space
Pagan quickly got to work on Day 1
shagging ies in his new position.
They are professionals, manager Bruce
Bochy said Tuesday. Its all about getting
things to work out, and these two are going
to help us in the outeld. We just think its
the best way to go. ... To have two center
elders out there, thats a nice luxury. It
shows a little bit about Angel how unselsh

he is.
Pagan said he heard from the Giants when
they decided to sign Span to a $31 million,
three-year contract last month. Pagan has
already asked Span to have a sitdown so
they can discuss the transition.
I dont have any hard feelings. I want
him to know Im on board, said Pagan,
who recently welcomed his third daughter.
Im just being unselsh. I feel ready for
any role on the team.

Late Cap comeback

By Terry Bernal

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Capuchino turned its biggest deficiency into

just the late swing of momentum it needed.
Despite winning Tuesdays Central Coast
Section Division III opener 58-55 against visiting South City, the Mustangs trailed most of
the night. And shooting just 4 for 13 from the
free-throw line, including 3 of 7 in the fourth
quarter, it didnt seem Cap had the marksmanship to mount a comeback.
But when senior center Lucas Magni missed
the back end of a 1-and-1 with the Mustangs
trailing 55-52 with just over two minutes to
play, a scrap for the ensuing rebound kicked
out of bounds off South City. And thats when
Cap hit pay dirt.
Magni got redemption when he gathered the
inbound pass and fired a clutch 3-pointer to tie
it 55-55 with two minutes remaining. The
Mustangs got the ball right back off a quick
South City miss, and Cap junior Ryan
Chapman knocked down another 3-pointer to
give the Mustangs their first lead of the second
half one that would hold up for the victory.
The most exciting games weve had this
season have always been from behind,
Chapman said. Teams that are our caliber, we
always let them go ahead, but we always come
back to get them.
The Mustangs (13-12 overall) entered as the
No. 9 seed against unseeded South City (1214), but the playing field was leveled when
Cap started the week by losing two starting
players for undisclosed reasons. However,
there was good news in the Mustangs camp,
as Magni who missed the final game of the
regular season due to concussion symptoms
was cleared to play Monday.
Magni Caps only All-Peninsula Athletic
League first-team player made his presence
felt, posting a double-double with 10 points
and 14 rebounds. He also added seven assists.
I thought he looked like a first-team all-leaguer tonight, big time, Mustangs head coach
Marty Ruiz said.

Senior forward Phil McGoldrick drives to the hoop in Capuchinos 58-55 win over South City
in Tuesdays Central Coast Section Division III playoff opener.

San Mateo post player Anaseini Fakava

had been battling a cold for the better part of
the last week leading up to Tuesdays Central
Coast Section Division II tournament opener against visiting Overfelt.
Fakava was feeling just fine in the second
half, however, as the junior scored 17 of her
game-high 21 points over the final two
quarters to help the Bearcats cruise to a 5035 win in their first CCS appearance in two
years.
I didnt even notice the points, Fakava
said.
Eleventh-seeded San Mateo (13-12 overall) will travel to San Jose to take on No. 6
Leigh (17-4) in a second-round game at 7
p.m. Thursday.
Fakavas teammates certainly saw the
damage she was doing because they kept
feeding her down low where she was seemingly open every time. After a four-point
first half, Fakava scored eight in the third
period, including the last six points of the
quarter, and nine more in the fourth punctuating her night with a 3-pointer with under
a minute to play in the game.
I was pretty nervous today, Fakava said.
But once we started playing, everyones
energy was up.
Fakava was far from a one-woman show,
however. Point guard Mimi Shen orchestrated the San Mateo offense to perfection.
Although she scored only seven points, she
consistently made the extra pass that resulted in an easy bucket for a teammate.
Mimi did a good of controlling the
game, said San Mateo coach Nancy Dinges.
Alyssa Cho was a beast on both ends of
the court, recording a double-double with 13
points and 12 rebounds. She did a tremendous job of helping limit Overfelts Jenevee

Serras Killingsworth named WCAL MVP

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

As the shooter who knocked down the

game-winning free throws in last years
Central Coast Section championship-game
victory
over
St.
Francis,
Jake
Killingsworth already has a prestigious
place in Serra basketball lore.
Now the senior has added another page in
the Padres storied history, as Killingsworth
has been named the West Catholic Athletic

League Player of the Year, it was announced

Monday.
It is the first time a Serra player has garnered the honor since Decensae White won
it in 2005-06. And with the player who
claimed the award last year Mittys Ben
Kone still in the league this season, it
wasnt a goal Killingsworth was even entertaining at the beginning of the year.
I honestly didnt, Killingsworth said. I
didnt think about it too much, really,
through the season. We were talking about

it before practice [earlier last week] and we

were throwing out all sorts of names.
Kones name wasnt in the mix, as
Mittys star center was lost for the year at
the midway point of the WCAL schedule
with an ACL injury. But there was still a
host of players in contention, including St.
Francis senior Noah Stapes, who led the
Lancers to an undefeated first-place finish in
WCAL play.
What Killingsworth brought to the floor
this season was essential to leading the

Padres to a second-place finish. Serra earned

three other all-WCAL honors, with
Jeremiah Testa being named first-team; Lee
Jones second-team; and Jack Wilson honorable mention.
But none of those three were starters last
year, which caused Serra to have to reinvent
itself in 2015-16.
As a team, its a completely different
experience, Killingsworth said of heading

Anti-doping leaders scolded ESPN for sending the wrong message by not conducting
drug tests at the X Games in Norway this
week. The networks answer: Feel free to test
whomever youd like.
Hit with criticism from the heads of the
Olympics, the World Anti-Doping Agency
and Norways anti-doping federation, ESPN
responded by reiterating its own policy
while it doesnt conduct its own testing, the
network has always offered federations space
and credentials so they can set up and conduct
their own out-of-competition tests.
Created in 1997 as an independent event,
the Winter X Games provided the most visible
platform for snowboarding and other action
sports. A few of those sports were introduced
into the Winter Olympics in 1998. Now, they
make up a sizable portion of the Olympic program.
WADA director general David Howman
called ESPNs lack of a testing program surprising and regrettable.
His comments came after Norways skiing
federation backed out of a deal with an ESPN
partner because WADA rules arent being followed. Also, Norways anti-doping chief
called on Oslo to withdraw financial support
of the Norwegian version of the X Games,
which begin Wednesday and will include both
winter and summer sports. International
Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach
said he was monitoring this issue.

Come-from-behind wins are fast becoming synonymous with College of San Mateo
baseball this season.
The Bulldogs (8-1 overall) claimed their
fifth comeback victory of the season
Tuesday with a 9-5 win over College of
Marin (5-5) at Bulldogs Stadium. Trailing 52 in the sixth, CSM came roaring back with
a four-spot to take the lead.
Daniel Page had the big swing of the bat to
tie it, stepping up with the bases loaded and one
out and socking a three-run triple up the gap in
left-center. Then leadoff man Ryan Krainz gave
the Bulldogs the lead, delivering a picturesque
bunt on a suicide squeeze to drive home Page,
with Krainz reaching via bunt single.
We talked about [bunting] after the
triple, Krainz said. I just looked at coach
and knew we were going to do it.
Krainz had every reason in the world to know
he would be called upon to bunt. The sophomores RBI infield hit was one of four bunt singles on the day for the Bulldogs, who matched
their season-high with 16 hits in the game.
The workhorse CSM bullpen did the rest.
After starting pitcher Brock Tsukamoto
departed after three-plus innings, allowing
four runs on eight hits, the Bulldogs three
most used pitchers this season Brady
Navarro, Drew Reveno and Mark Quinby
worked the final six frames, combining to
allow just one run on three hits.
Navarro soldiered through three innings,
allowing one run on two hits to earn the win.
His record improves to 2-0. Reveno entered in
the seventh, giving the freshman right-hander

eight appearances through

nine games this season.
With CSM leading 6-5
in the eighth, Reveno got
into trouble by putting
two on with one out. But
Quinby entered to induce a
double-play
grounder,
which the Bulldogs infield
Ryan Krainz turned courtesy of some
fancy glove work by
shortstop Anders Green.
Quinby ran a cut fastball in on Marins Matt
Tarantino, who nearly
muscled a grounder
through the middle of the
diamond. But Green
ranged over the middle to
glove it and, with his
carrying
Mark Quinby momentum
towards the outfield, he
opted to shovel the ball with his glove to
Krainz at second. The toss was a bit behind
Krainz, who recovered to pivot a low throw to
first base, which first baseman RJ Prince
picked on a hop to preserve the twin killing.
It was a great pitch by Mark ... and a great
play by [Green], Krainz said. I wasn't
expecting the glove flip. But it was a great
play by RJ over at first to save it.
After CSM rallied for three insurance runs
in the eighth, Quinby went on to work a
perfect ninth to earn his third save of the
year. Center fielder Dominic Smith punctuated the game with a nice headlong diving
catch for the final out.
Smith was a late defensive replacement for
starting center fielder Brandon Hernandez,

Rockies Reyes out until

legal issues are resolved
By Ronald Blum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Colorado

Rockies shortstop Jose Reyes was
placed on paid leave Tuesday under
Major League Baseballs new
domestic violence policy pending
completion of criminal proceedings and will not report to spring
training.
The 32-year-old, a four-time AllStar, was arrested in Hawaii at a
Maui resort on Oct. 31 following
an argument with his wife and
pleaded not guilty to a charge of
abuse of a family or household
member. He was released after
posting $1,000 bail and is scheduled for a trial starting April 4, the
day the Rockies open the season
at Arizona.
Reyes became the first player
impacted by the policy, agreed to
in August by MLB and the players
association following a series of
high-profile domestic violence
cases involving NFL players. New

York Yankees
closer Aroldis
Chapman and
Los
Angeles
Dodgers
outfielder Yasiel
Puig also are
under investigation.
MLB
said
Jose Reyes
Commissioner
Rob Manfred will not decide on
possible discipline for Reyes until
after the criminal proceedings and
an MLB investigation. Discipline
is not dependent on a criminal
conviction.
Under the policy, a player can be
placed on paid leave in exceptional cases pending a legal proceeding if the commissioner determines allowing him to play
would result in substantial and
irreparable harm to either the club
or to Major League Baseball.
While the policy calls it a paid
suspension, MLB in its statement
termed it leave. While players do
not earn salary during spring

training, Reyes will start accruing

his $22 million salary on April 3,
the day the MLB season opens. If
the discipline becomes an unpaid
suspension, he has the right to
offset the time served against the
penalty but must repay any salary
he received during the paid suspension.
The players union has the right
to challenge the decision before
an arbitrator.
We are closely monitoring the
proceedings in Hawaii, as well as
the commissioners actions, the
union said in a statement. If further discipline is issued or if Mr.
Reyes paid suspension is not
resolved in a timely fashion, the
players association will work
with Mr. Reyes to ensure that all
of his rights under the policy are
protected.
Colorado, which starts fullsquad workouts Thursday, acquired
Reyes in July from Toronto in a
deal that sent shortstop Troy
Tulowitzki and reliever LaTroy
Hawkins to the Blue Jays.

U.S. Soccer to form Girls

Development Academy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

U.S. Soccer is launching a Girls

Development Academy program
next year aimed at the cultivation
of elite-level players.
The program is modeled after the
Boys Development Academy,
which was launched in 2007 and
now includes 152 clubs in five age
groups.
I think this is an opportunity
for us to create a player development environment for the next
generation of players that will rise
to the level of our youth national
team program and may one day
even, in many cases, with our sen-

ior womens team, said April

Heinrichs, U.S. Soccers womens
technical director.
The girls program announced
Tuesday will initially include three
groups: under-14/15, under-16/17
and under-18/19. The teams will
play only other academy teams, on
the local, regional and national
level, and will practice a minimum
of four times a week. Games will be
played by international standards
with limited substitutions.
Academy players wont be able
to participate on high school
teams or Olympic development
teams. But the program will serve
as a potential pathway to the feder-

ations youth national teams.

Heinrichs said conversations
about an academy started in 2009
and were ramped up in 2011 when
she became technical director and
current senior national team coach
Jill Ellis was development director. An increased level of financial
commitment, spurred by the World
Cup victory for the womens senior team, helped bring the program
to life, she said.
U.S. Club soccer currently sanctions the Elite Clubs National
League for girls that has 79 clubs
nationwide playing at five levels.
That program was founded in

into his third straight CCS Open Division

playoff bracket. We have guys contributing that werent playing much last year.
The centerpiece of Serras reinvention has
been Killingsworth, who has proven to be a
multi-dimensional threat. Last year, he considered himself a glorified role player, he
said. But those roles have developed into a
complete star player this year.
Killingsworth can shoot, pass, rebound,
defend, block shots you name it. And it is
also his vocal leadership and upbeat intensity that has defined the Padres run-and-gun
style this season.
Hes just a multi-faceted Swiss Army
offensive knife, said Serra head coach
Chuck Rapp.
Hes made a big difference for Wilson, a 7foot sophomore center who has worked in
tandem with Killingsworth hawking
rebounds all season long. A Half Moon Bay
native, Wilson arrived at Serra last year having no scouting report on the junior
Killingsworth, who was just a year removed
from transferring in from Arkansas.
But Killingsworth made a quick impression on Wilson, and has been integral to the
big mans integration to regular playing
time this year.
He can do it all, Wilson said. Last year,
at first, I didnt know who this kid was coming in from Arkansas. But then hes a really
good shooter and he also could get up and

legit.
Killingsworths knack for historic Serra
achievements has come some notoriety. He
recalled arriving at school this year and
being approached by a freshman, who asked
him if he was indeed the legend who sunk

into the game as the Royals leading scorer

at 16 points per game.
[Cho] did a great job (on Pritchard),
Dinges said. We had a plan against her and
we executed it.
Pritchard did manage to pull down a gamehigh 14 rebounds.
Katie Osaki chipped in eight points for
the Bearcats, while Marie Rossi knocked
down a couple of first-quarter jumpers,
including a 3, to finish with five points.
All in all, it was a total team effort for San
Mateo.
I think [we] came out with a lot of confidence, Dinges said. This is the most
unselfish Ive seen us all year.
Overfelt (15-10) came into the game riding a six-game winning streak, but San
Mateo let it be known a seventh would be
no walk in the park. The Bearcats opened
the game with a 6-0 run, getting buckets
from Shen, Cho and Rossi. Overfelt scored
a couple of fast-break baskets to close to 64, but Rossi and Cho responded with backto-back 3s and Shen added a third trey following an Overfelt layup to go up 15-6.
By the time the first quarter ended, the
Bearcats enjoyed a 17-7 advantage.
A long jumper from Osaki put San Mateo
up 19-7, but Overfelts Joyce Jusay buried
back-to-back 3s to cut the Royals deficit to
19-13, but the Bearcats came back with 103 run to close the half with a 29-16 lead.
Jusay led the Royals with 15 points on
five 3-pointers.
Cho scored two consecutive buckets to
start the third period for San Mateo, after
sitting most of the second quarter. Then
Fakava went to work, scoring eight of her

Still, Ruiz had to rely on two unproven

Pagan received an injection in his right

knee to break up scar tissue and also has

improved the exibility in his legs that he

Arbitration
ruling leads
to increased
cap for NFL
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The NFLs salary cap will

get an additional boost of more than $1.5
million per team next season following an
arbitration victory by the players union.
An additional $50 million or so will be
available for teams to spend. The official
salary cap has not been determined, but
before the ruling it was expected to rise by
at least $10 million from the $143.5 million ceiling of last season.
The arbitrators ruling was made last week
but not announced until Tuesday.
The NFL calls the adjustment a technical
accounting matter. The NFL Players
Association contends the league miscalculated or was hiding money due the players.
Our union will always look to enforce
our economic rights under the collective
bargaining agreement, the NFLPA said in a
statement.
The issue was whether specific revenue
the league called exempt from being applied
toward the salary cap actually should be
counted.
The NFL said the decision will increase
the number of seasons over which the
leagues investments in stadium projects
will be recouped from local stadium revenues.
The union calculated the money excluded
exceeded $100 million over three years.

McGregor to fight Diaz at UFC

196 after Dos Anjos gets hurt
LAS VEGAS Conor McGregor
will fight Nate Diaz at UFC 196 on
March 5 after champion Rafael Dos
Anjos dropped out of their bout with a
foot injury.
The UFC announced the 170-pound
matchup Tuesday night.
McGregor (19-2) won the UFC
featherweight title in December. The
Irish pay-per-view star hopes to hold
the 155-pound lightweight belt
simultaneously, but Dos Anjos (24-7)
was forced out of the matchup after
injuring his foot.
Diaz (18-10) isnt a title contender,
but the entertaining brawler from
Stockton is one of the UFCs most
popular fighters in his weight class.

Double-duty take on broccoli new technique, new ingredient

By Melissa dArabian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Of all the trendy/healthy/unusual ingredients I use regularly in my cooking, the one I get questions about most is
nutritional yeast (which tastes way better than it sounds).
Nutritional yeast not the same as baking yeast is a
golden, flaky powder typically sold in natural foods stores
(usually in the bulk section). It doesnt look like much, but
boy does it pack some flavor!
I love nutritional yeast because it has a cheesy, nutty,
savory flavor and can be sprinkled liberally on just about
any vegetable or savory/salty snack that I make. Freshlypopped popcorn or homemade baked kale chips with a
bunch of this yeasty, cheesy goodness all over is, quite
frankly, snacking perfection.
Nutritional yeast also is my weeknight dinner go-to seasoning for roasted vegetables or veggie purees (mashed
potatoes are super tasty!). And in the mornings, it gets
sprinkled on just about every egg white I cook. Plus
bonus! its vegan, so if you are cooking for a crowd, its
a safe bet that everyone can enjoy it.
Did I mention its incredibly healthy, too? Every 2 tablespoons of this stuff adds 9 grams of protein and 4 grams of
fiber to whatever youre making, and only 1 gram of fat and
60 calories. Most nutritional yeasts are fortified with B
vitamins, making it even better. Plus, nutritional yeast is a
naturally good source of iron and selenium.
Please ignore the unfortunate name and try nutritional
yeast next time you roast some veggies. And just for fun, in
todays recipe Im sharing a quick stovetop method for making one of my all-time favorites roasted broccoli. I love
roasted broccoli, but sometimes I need dinner on the table
in minutes. This recipe makes that happen. So enjoy this
double-duty recipe a new ingredient, and a new technique.

2 teaspoons olive oil

1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
Pinch red pepper flakes
1/4 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable stock or broth
(or water)
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Heat a large, heavy saute pan or Dutch oven over high
until very hot.
While the pan heats, in a medium bowl, toss the broccoli
with the olive oil until well coated. Place the florets in the
hot pan, in a single layer, lightly pressing with a spatula to
maximize contact with the hot surface (you should hear sizzling). Cover and cook for 1 1/2 minutes, or until the bottoms of the broccoli have some browning and char.
Uncover and flip the broccoli with the spatula, then press
gently again. Cover and cook for another 1 1/2 minutes.
Uncover and stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes. Once
fragrant (about 1 minute), add the stock and cover, allowing
the broccoli to steam for 1 minute. Uncover and sprinkle on
the nutritional yeast and vinegar, then stir. Let cook until
all the liquid evaporates. Season with salt.

executive ranks of the nonprofit industry.
I didnt learn anything specific, but I
learned so much, said Merriman, of his
time as a child in the club.
As he assumes the role of top executive in
South San Francisco, Merriman said he
hopes to grant similar opportunities to adolescents and teens who are in the same circumstances he once knew.
A child of a poor family with few places in
his community to turn for guidance,
Merriman said he leaned heavily on the
structure offered at the Boys and Girls Club
for stability.
His experience at the club exposed him to
a variety of valuable life lessons, such as
how to hone his skills as a basketball player, or overcome anxieties to talk to girl, as
well as introducing him to role models who
taught him he could achieve his dreams.
The club served as enclave in this chaotic environment, where you know you could

look elsewhere for money to finance projects they felt were essentially shovel
ready, until the state financing fell
through.
In an attempt to backfill the void of
funding available from outside sources,
Mullin said he has worked to rally support
of lawmakers to allocate some of the
excess money from the state budget surplus toward solving transportation concerns.
Considering the vitality of the local
economy along the Peninsula, and the
valuable role this area plays in generating
a significant amount of revenue for the
rest of California, Mullin said he feels

go for a place with caring and committed

adults, said Merriman.
The years he spent in after-school programs ultimately culminated in Merriman
winning the Boys and Girls Club Youth of
the Year Award, which he accepted prior to
earning a basketball scholarship at Rider
University in New Jersey, before transferring to the University of Hawaii, where he
graduated with a degree in social work and
public health.
After graduating, he continued to work in
Hawaii where he developed intervention
programs targeting at-risk youth living in
housing projects.
While living in Honolulu, he also met his
wife, and had their first of three children,
before deciding to pursue an executive position with the Camp Fire nonprofit in Santa
Cruz, which served as his initial foray into
life as an official in the nonprofit sector.
After two years of working as CEO at
Camp Fire, he was hired by the Special
Olympics of Northern California, where he
worked for 12 years before leaving as the
senior vice president of business development.

In an effort to develop new skills,

Merriman moved onto the Silicon Valley
chapter of the Summer Search program
which aims to broaden college access to
high school students.
Under the announcement last month he
would again be joining the Boys and Girls
Club, this time as an executive, even
Merriman acknowledged it felt like his
return home.
After growing up in the club and being a
part of the club, that experience lasts a lifetime and transcends whatever age you are,
he said.
While assuming the chief position in the
northern region of San Mateo County,
which primarily serves South San Francisco
and Pacifica, Merriman said he hopes to
expand the reach of the club.
We want to serve as many kids that need
our service in the best possible way, he
said.
The northern county clubs are in a unique
position to achieve that goal, said
Merriman, because many of the clubhouses
are located on school campuses where most
members are enrolled.

We are part of the school ecosystem, and

we are trying to be responsive to students
needs, said Merriman.
Though the clubs are woven into the
upbringing of the 300 members who pass
through the doors of the organization daily,
Merriman said one of his biggest initial
hurdles is expanding its exposure throughout the rest of the community.
We are the best kept secret in South San
Francisco, said Merriman. But our kids
deserve more.
As part of that effort to become more visible, Merriman said under his leadership he
is hopeful the organization can reconnect
with the expansive alumni base living in
South San Francisco who have not been
active in the club for years.
He said he has a keen understanding of the
value of keeping connected with the club
that played an integral role in his personal
and professional development.
This is not a job, Merriman said. This
is my lifes work. I wouldnt be sitting here
if it wasnt for the Boys and Girls Club and
the many people who supported me along
the way.

more consideration should be given by

state officials to helping clear congestion
along Highway 101 and State Route 92.
This is, regardless of party, an issue to
keep our local economy moving, said
Mullin.
In lieu of the lack of money flowing
from the state, a majority of the available
funding sources to pay for traffic flow
improvements are generated at the city and
county level, said Mullin.
Measure A, one of the countys sales
taxes which generates funds for the transportation authority, is a prime example of
the type of local funding sources needed to
develop solutions for traffic congestion,
said Mullin.
Though the local funding sources are
typically insufficient to address potential
large capital improvement projects such
as lane weaves and grade separations
along State Route 92, having assets avail-

able to spend in combination with state

and federal sources when they become
available can be integral in solving transportation issues, said Mullin.
San Mateo City Manager Larry Patterson
said he favored a variety of creative measures being considered to clear congestion
throughout the region, as he expects
resolving the financing concerns to be
challenging.
I think its going to take some real time
and diligence to get these things done, he
said. Its going to be real tough.
Transportation officials are in the midst
of considering a variety of design alternatives aiming to improve transportation
across local roads, with an eye on developing a comprehensive report that is
expected to be published in July.
Mullin has been working over the past
year to address solutions for congestion
along Highway 101, but recently broad-

ened his focus into finding fixes for State

Route 92 as well.
No decision was made at the recent meeting, but officials discussed the variety of
opportunities and challenges that existed
as potential projects move forward.
More cars travel the San Mateo-Hayward
Bridge daily than the Bay Bridge, according to a Caltrans report, as the local economy continues to thrive and workers commuting from throughout the Bay Area rely
on the thoroughfare to reach their jobs
along the Peninsula.
Mullin said he is committed to continue
addressing the transportation concerns, as
the congestion has become so severe
along State Route 92 it has backed up onto
the roads and neighborhoods in San Mateo
and Foster City.
We have going to keep working on this
issue, and keep the conversation going,
he said.

Food briefs
Starbucks changes rewards
program; small spenders lose

This dish sends the message that the meal is about comfort and friendship.

Mix up your hummus game with

carrot puree topped with lamb

ntertaining should not be

about fuss or pomp. I want my
focus to be on my company.
And on making sure the food packs
tons of big, satisfying flavor. Not
much beyond that matters.
Which is why I tend to gravitate to
a particular version of family-style
dining when I have guests. Its not
just a matter of having shared dishes,
though thats certainly a start. My
approach is more about how the food
is presented and consumed, delivering
the message that this meal is about
comfort and friendship.
Heres how it works. I start with a
base. The base should be something
easily spread. Hummus is a great
choice. Many salads and roasted vegetables work, too. Savory yogurt dips
work, particularly if youre going for
a Greek menu. Whatever you opt for,
this base is spread thick over a large
serving platter.
Next, you decide what to top that
with. I love roasted or seared meats
that have been cut into bite-size portions. Roasted vegetables would be a
great vegetarian version. Same for
beans and cheese. Whatever you go
with, this is heaped on top of the base
layer. You finish with a sprinkle of
something that ties everything
together, such as chopped fresh herbs
or crumbled goat cheese.
Now set the platter in the center of
the table and give your guests something to scoop with. Could be flatbread. Could be lettuce leaves. Could
be tortilla chips. And thats it. Get
everyone to dig in, quite literally.
Some of my favorite versions of
this have included a Frito pie (a layer

of corn chips
topped by grilled
and sliced flank
steak, cheese and
other taco toppings); a garlicky
hummus topped
by ground beef
browned with
onions and served
with flatbread;
and tzatziki
topped with
roasted root vegetables and crumbled feta cheese.
Lately, Ive been making this version, which is both unusual, yet familiar and comforting. It starts with a
base of carrot hummus (made as you
would regular hummus, but substituting cooked carrots for the chickpeas)
topped with seared leg of lamb seasoned with cumin and topped with
crumbled soft goat cheese. Sound like
a lot to coordinate? Its actually quite
simple and comes together in no time.

J.M. HIRSCH

CARROT HUMMUS WITH

CUMIN LAMB AND GOAT CHEESE
Start to finish: 45 minutes
Servings: 6
2 pounds carrots, trimmed and cut
into 2-inch chunks
1 cup water
5 tablespoons tahini
4 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
1 1/2-pound boneless leg of lamb
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 tablespoon cumin seeds

1/2 cup white wine

2 ounces crumbled soft goat cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
Pita bread, warmed, to serve
In a medium saucepan, combine the
carrots and water. Bring to a simmer
over medium-high. Cook until the
carrots are very tender and there are
only a couple tablespoons of water
remaining in the pan. Transfer the carrots and liquid in the pan to a food
processor. Add the tahini, garlic,
lemon juice and olive oil. Process
until smooth, then taste and season
with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Trim as much fat as possible from
the lamb, then cut it into 1-inch
cubes. Season the cubes with salt and
pepper.
In a large skillet over medium-high,
heat the canola oil. Add the lamb
cubes and sear on all sides until nicely
browned but not quite cooked
through, 2 to 3 minutes. You may
need to do this in batches, adding a
bit more oil with each batch. Transfer
the cooked lamb to a plate. Return the
skillet to the heat and add the onion
and cumin seeds. Saute for 5 minutes,
or until the onion is tender.
Add the wine to the skillet and
bring to a simmer, stirring and scraping the bottom to deglaze the pan.
After 1 minute, return the lamb and
any juices on the plate to the skillet,
stir well and heat for 1 minute. Season
with salt and pepper.
To assemble, use a large spoon to
spread the carrot hummus over a serving platter, creating a slight depression at the center. Spoon the lamb and
onions over the hummus. Sprinkle
with crumbled goat cheese and mint.
Serve with pita bread.

NEW YORK Starbucks is changing the terms of its

rewards program so that people who spend around $5 or
less per visit wont get as many freebies.
The Seattle-based coffee chain says its loyalty program
will award stars based on the dollars spent starting in
April. Currently, people earn a star for each transaction,
regardless of how much they spend, and get a free food or
drink item of their choice after earning 12 stars.
People will now have to earn 125 stars for a free item,
with each dollar spent being worth two stars meaning
they have to spend $62.50 to get their free item. That
means people who stick with options like plain coffee are
losing out.
For instance, someone who regularly pays $2 for a regular drip coffee would currently earn a free item after
spending around $24 over 12 visits. Under the new system, they would have to visit more than 31 times to earn
the perk.
Someone who gets a large latte for $4.45 currently
spends around $53.40 over a dozen visits before getting a
free item. So that person would also need to visit a couple
of extra times for the freebie with the new system.
Still, Starbucks says the change is the No. 1 request
among loyalty program members and predicts it will lead
to higher spending by customers eager to earn more stars.
The change applies to the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico.
In a call with analysts, Starbucks Chief Strategy Officer
Matthew Ryan said the vast majority of customers will
earn rewards at an equal or better rate with the change.
Without providing details, he said a small minority of
customers will earn rewards at a slower pace.

Mars recalls candy bars in 55

countries after plastic found in product
BERLIN U.S. chocolate maker Mars said Tuesday its
recalling candy bars and other items in 55 countries in
Europe and elsewhere after plastic was found in one of its
products.
Roel Govers, spokesman for Mars in the Netherlands,
told the Associated Press that the recall affects 55 countries but would not provide further details, saying the
company would email a news release later.
Mars in Germany confirmed that it was one of the countries affected, and said in a statement that the recall affected products with best before dates from June 19, 2016
to January 8, 2017.
We have intentionally chosen a long production time
frame in order to ensure that all possibly affected products
are recalled, the company said in a German-language
statement, adding that it was in close contact with food
safety authorities.
It also did not specify which other countries were affected, and Mars in Germany did not respond to calls or
emails. The German news agency dpa cited a Mars
Germany spokesman saying the voluntary recall affects
products made early this year in the Netherlands.
The Dutch food safety authority posted what it said was
a Mars press release on its website, saying a piece of
plastic had been found in a product that could lead to
choking. It listed affected products as: Mars, Milky Way,
Snickers, Celebrations, and Mini Mix.

build on recent momentum, while Cruz
was looking for a spark to recover
from a particularly rocky stretch in his
campaign.
Rubio, already campaigning in
Michigan as caucus results rolled in,
was projecting confidence that he can
consolidate the non-Trump voters who
have been splintering among an
assortment of GOP candidates, saying,
we have incredible room to grow.
Cruz, a fiery conservative popular
among voters on the GOPs right, finished a disappointing third in South
Carolina after spending much of the
past two weeks denying charges of dishonest campaign tactics and defending
his integrity. Another disappointing
finish in Nevada would raise new questions about his viability heading into
a crucial batch of Super Tuesday states
on March 1.
Theres something wrong with this
guy, Trump said with his usual measure of tact during a massive Las Vegas
rally Monday night. The former reality
television star tweeted on Tuesday, He
used him as a scape goat-fired like a
dog! Ted panicked.

POLL
Continued from page 1
So while Americans of all stripes
consistently put the economy at or near
the top of their most important issues,
they sometimes have very different
concerns when they do so.
Philadelphian James Leake, living
on disability at age 50, worries about
another economic blowout and zeroes
in on income inequality as a key problem.
The corporations are taking more
and more and more, and Im like,
Dont you ... realize the bubble is
soon going to burst? said Leake, a
Democrat.
But Edward Vasquez, an engineer from
Odessa, Texas, thinks income inequality isnt even real.
Its a perceived problem, said
Vasquez, who calls himself an antiestablishment Republican. Even people that would call themselves poor,
they dont understand how rich they are.
Americans are spoiled brats.
From such opposite perspectives,
though, Leake and Vasquez both say
protecting Social Security is an
extremely important item for the next

husband was laid off from his mining

job, among those caucusing for
Trump.
I want a businessman to run the
biggest business in the world,
Brigida said as she caucused at a Las
Vegas high school.
Jeremy Haight drove straight from
his marketing job to caucus for Marco
Rubio at the same high school.
Hes the most level-headed. He hasnt said anything stupid or crazy ...
which is really what I think the country needs, Haight said.
It was Cruz for Megan Ortega, who
declared: Hes consistent, hes bold
and hes a class act.
Preliminary results of the entrance
poll found that about 3 in 10 early caucus goers said the quality that mattered
most to them in choosing a candidate
was that he shares their values, slightly more than the quarter who said they
want a candidate who can win in
November. About a quarter said they
want a candidate who can bring
change. About 2 in 10 want one who
tells it like it is.
Nevada state marks the first
Republican election in the West, the
fourth of the campaign. And its not
one thats gotten much attention from
the GOP candidates.
Through Tuesday, the Republican
candidates and the super PACs supporting them had spent a combined $3.8
million on television and radio advertisements in Nevada less than a
tenth of the $39.3 million spent ahead

of last weekends South Carolina primary, according to Kantar Medias

CMAG data.
That primary reduced a GOP field that
included a dozen candidates a month
ago to five, with former Florida Gov.
Jeb Bush the latest to drop out after a
disappointing finish in South
Carolina. Ohio Gov. John Kasich and
retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson
remain in the race and could play spoilers as the trio of leading candidates,
Trump, Cruz and Rubio, battle for delegates with an increasing sense of
urgency.
Trumps rivals concede they are running out of time to stop him.
The election calendar suggests that
if the New York billionaires rivals
dont slow him by mid-March, they
may not ever. Trump swept all of South
Carolinas 50 delegates, giving him a
total of 67 compared to Cruz and Rubio
who have 11 and 10, respectively.
There are 30 delegates at stake in
Nevada, awarded to candidates in proportion to their share of the statewide
vote so long as they earn at least 3.33
percent. While proportional contests
give Trumps weaker rivals a chance to
accumulate delegates, proportional
contests also make it difficult to catch
up if one candidate runs up a significant lead.
After finishing third in Iowa, fifth in
New Hampshire and second in South
Carolina, Rubio needs a win soon to
support the idea that he is the prime
heir to Bushs supporters.

presidents to-do list.

The way people do things in
Washington, they may take it away,
said Leake.
By the time I retire, its going to be
a broken promise, said 44-year-old
Vasquez. Theres not enough workers
paying into the system.
Overall, the AP-NORC poll found 85
percent of Americans think protecting
the future of Social Security is extremely or very important for the next president, and 81 percent said the same for
reducing unemployment.
Theres a reason for their concerns
about Social Security: The retirement
and disability program has enough
money to pay full benefits until 2034,
after which it will have only enough
money to pay about 75 percent of benefits, going by current projections.
Over the next 75 years, Social Security
is projected to pay out $159 trillion
more in benefits than it will collect in
taxes, according to agency data.
The employment outlook is considerably brighter right now: The economy
created 151,000 jobs in January, pushing the jobless rate down to an eightyear low of 4.9 percent.
Looking at the poll results by party,
Republicans were most likely to single
out reducing the federal deficit as an
item that is extremely important or

very important for the next president,

with 86 percent highlighting that concern. The red ink outlook: President
Barack Obamas latest budget proposal
sees the deficit rising from $438 billion last year to more than $500 billion
for the 2017 budget year that starts Oct.
1. Deficits over the coming decade
would total $6 trillion.
Among Democrats, protecting Social
Security was a top concern for 89 percent, reducing poverty was highlighted
by 86 percent and reducing unemployment was singled out by 84 percent.
The poverty rate held steady in 2013
and 2014 at 14.8 percent. It had
dropped from 15 percent in 2012, the
first drop since 2006.
Even where theres common ground
on top issues, theres no unanimity
among Americans about whos best
equipped to tackle the problems.
Count Randy Werner, a retired factory
worker in Manitowoc, Wisconsin,
among those worried about Social
Securitys future. Among his concerns:
He thinks too many people are drawing
disability benefits from the system,
some of them more than capable of
working. A Democrat who says hes
moving toward being an independent,
Werner likes some of what he hears
from Republican businessman Donald
Trump but isnt sure who hell vote for.
