Private ferry aims for service

Charter company looking to go public in Redwood City
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A ferry service that now shuttles commuters on a private charter to Redwood

City is looking to expand its service to
the general public by the end of summer.
Prop SF is currently securing the state
permits required to expand its service
and intends to have routes from two
locations in the East Bay to the Port of
San Francisco with connecting service
to Redwood City.
It shuttles now about 35 passengers
daily, like a Google bus on water, to the

privately owned Westpoint Harbor
Marina on Seaport Boulevard.
The hope is to continue to operate at
that facility and expand service to the
nearby Port of Redwood City, said
founder and Chief Executive Officer
James Jaber.
Its a really nice public dock and we
hope to use it in the future, Jaber said.
Jaber wants to engage cities all over
the region about expanding ferry service as highway congestion and peak
commute times increase.
We want to take more cars off the

road, he said.
A trip on the companys 40-passenger
catamaran will take about 35 minutes
from Redwood City to Pier 15 in San
Francisco, he said.
Port of Redwood City Executive
Director Michael Giari said the public
dock can handle the extra traffic.
We think there is some possibilities
for multiple boats and multiple types of

The family of an elderly man

who died in a small assisted living
facility after falling to the ground
and being bitten by ants before
staff found him hours later, is
suing the care home and its owner
for wrongful death.
Elles Care Home and owner
Karin Lastimosa maintain two
facilities with a total of 12 beds in
Millbrae and Broadmoor the
northern site being where Calvin
Bennett died May 30, 2015.
Bennetts family filed a lawsuit
in San Mateo County Superior
Court Tuesday alleging wrongful
death, elder abuse, professional
negligence and falsely advertising
their services.
Bennett, an 85-year-old with

heart conditions, reportedly died
after calling for help to use the
restroom but not receiving any
assistance, said Aimee Kirby, an
attorney representing his successors with the Dolan Law Firm.
At some point in the night
Bennett fell and despite his roommate also calling for help, he
remained on the floor yelling in
pain for hours before the morning
shift came on. His body was found
covered in ants around 6:30 a.m.,
Kirby said.
An autopsy report by the San
Mateo County Coroners Office
indicated Bennett died of a heart
attack, had a contusion on his
head and ant bites on his body.

Leno said if an agreement is

If the Legislature approves a
minimum-wage package, it would
avoid taking the issue to the ballot. One union-backed initiative
has already qualified for the ballot,
and a second, competing measure
is also trying to qualify.
This is an issue Ive been working on for many years, Leno said.

Injured woman sues school district, builder

Lawyer: Shoddy work caused South San Francisco resident to fall
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A South San Francisco woman who claims

she suffered severe injuries after tripping
and falling into a construction trench
formed in front of an elementary school
filed a lawsuit against the building company
and local school district.
Patricia Colombo stumbled into a trench
opened adjacent to Buri Buri Elementary
School while walking through the neighborhood with her grandson and injured her
shoulder so badly it required surgical
replacement, said her attorney Mark
Rosenberg.
Citing the significant physical and emotional harm she suffered, Colombo sued the
South San Francisco School District and
USS Cal Builders, the company hired to do
the construction work, for an undetermined
amount of money, according to documents
filed Friday, March 18, in San Mateo
County Superior Court.
More cautious
Rosenberg said he believes the district
and builder needed to be more cautious to
ensure the ongoing construction at the
school was managed responsibly.
Colombo was walking in December at
night near the school, at 325 Del Monte
Ave. , when she tripped into a trench,
despite a fence that was set up surrounding
the hole in the ground, said Rosenberg.
The school district and construction
company should have been more careful in
how they put up the fencing and how they
set up the premises where people will be
walking, he said.
As a result of her fall, Colombo was
required to undergo shoulder replacement
surgery, and now has limited range of

motion in her arm, said Rosenberg.
This was such a serious injury, he said.
Ryan Sebers, a South San Francisco
Unified School District spokesman, said
officials are alert to the lawsuit.
The district has been made aware of the
lawsuit and will respond as necessitated by
law, Sebers wrote in an email.
Rosenberg said he initially filed a claim
for recovery with the district, which was
denied, requiring him to take his action to
court.
Colombo suffered wage loss, property
damage, loss of earning capacity and has
paid hospital as well as medical expenses,
along with other general damages as a result
of the fall, according to the lawsuit.
The district and builder share responsibility in creating a hazard which resulted in
Colombo suffering substantial harm,
according to the complaint.
Plaintiff sustained serious injuries,
including permanent injuries to her left
shoulder as well as pain and suffering and
emotional distress, according to the complaint.
Rudy Sultan, who oversaw the Buri Buri
Elementary School construction project for
USS Cal Builders, said he was unaware of the
lawsuit, but questioned its validity, as he
claimed workers for the company would take
great care to ensure any trench at the site did
not pose a threat to residents.
Without knowing the details I cant comment on it, he said. But Im certain we had
no open construction zone.
The lawsuit marks the most recent strike
against a construction project which has
been marred repeatedly over its tumultuous
past.

in January they intended to part ways with

USS Cal Builders, bringing ongoing construction to a halt while officials searched
for a new builder to resume the rest of the
work financed under the Measure J bond.
As partial justification for abruptly
announcing the intent to fire USS Cal
Builders, district officials cited shoddy
craftsmanship in the rebuild of Buri Buri
Elementary School.
During subsequent community meetings
designed to inform residents about the next
steps in the school construction project,
some residents had raised concerns regarding potentially dangerous sidewalks adjacent to the Buri Buri property which began
to crack only weeks after being installed.
Ongoing vibrations
Homeowners near the school had also
threatened to sue the district after cracks
developed in the siding of their homes,
which they claimed was caused by ongoing,
severe vibrations from exposure to construction and heavy equipment.
Others who live near the school had previously voiced frustrations over a dirt
mound formed on the campus which, when
left uncovered by workers, blew dust
throughout the neighborhood and coated
many homes with a film of grime.
Measure J, the source of financing for all
the districts ongoing construction, has
been overspent by roughly $11 million,
according to an independent audit, causing
district officials to transfer funds from other
sources to backfill the spending gap.

Survey: San Carlos residents feeling satisfied

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The latest satisfaction survey

of San Carlos residents show that
96 percent of residents feel the
quality of life in the city is good or
excellent and that 83 percent feel
satisfied with the job the city is
doing.
Although the numbers are high,
they are down from 98 percent and
88 percent respectively in the two
categories since the last survey
was conducted in 2014.
The City Council will hear the
surveys findings at its Monday
night meeting.
The survey is used to determine
how the city is perceived by residents and provides guidance to the
council on how to make sound
strategic and budget decisions,
according to a report by Assistant
City Manager Tara Peterson.

Research in February online and

When it comes to funding priorities, those surveyed said making
improvements to storm drains to
reduce flooding and accelerating
the improvement of local streets
was the top priority, with 75 percent saying each was a high or
medium priority.
Second on the funding priority
list, 70 percent, was to provide
additional parking downtown.
Second-tier priorities included
improving the appearance of
downtown San Carlos, 55 percent,
and creating more affordable
workforce housing, 48 percent,
according to the survey.
The survey shows too that residents have less satisfaction with
police services, 76 percent in
2016 compared to 85 percent in
2014, but that there is no signifi-
cant change in the feeling of safety in the community.

Nearly all residents surveyed
indicated they felt very or reasonably safe walking alone in their
neighborhood, 100 percent, and
commercial and retail areas of San
Carlos, 98 percent, during the day.
After dark, however, the corresponding percentages declined to
89 percent in neighborhoods and
80 percent in commercial and
retail areas.
When it comes to quality of life,
47 percent reported it excellent
while 49 percent reported it good.
Just 4 percent indicated the quality
of life was fair and less than 1 percent said it was poor or very poor.
Among specific changes mentioned in the survey, the most
common were: limiting growth
and development, 15 percent;
reducing traffic congestion, 14
percent; improving and address-
ing parking issues, 14 percent;

improving public safety, 6 percent; and adding and improving
sidewalks, paths and bike lanes, 6
percent.
Respondents were less satisfied
with the citys efforts to manage
traffic congestion on city streets,
57 percent; provide public parking, 64 percent; and maintain
local streets, 72 percent, according to the survey.
When it comes to traffic, just
over half, 54 percent, of residents
rated traffic circulation overall in
the city as excellent or good, with
40 percent providing similar ratings for traffic circulation on
major streets. Circulation in residential areas was viewed more positively, with 71 percents of
respondents citing it as excellent
or good, according to the survey.
Related to growth, about half,
49 percent, of residents surveyed
felt that the pace of development

in San Carlos has proceeded at
about the right pace in the past
three years.
Among those who felt the pace
of growth has been less than optimal, opinions were split between
those who felt that the city has
grown too fast, 29 percent, and
those who felt that the city has
grown too slowly, 12 percent,
according to the survey.
Respondents were divided on
their opinion of mixed-use development, with 57 percent saying
there is about the right amount or
having no opinion, 21 percent
indicating there is too little and
22 percent saying there is too
much, according to the survey.

Chinese herbalists family killed

Suspect arrested
By John Rogers
LOS ANGELES A popular

practitioner of Chinese herbal
medicine was found shot to death
and wrapped in plastic along with
his wife and 5-year-old daughter in
their palatial two-story home in
upscale Santa Barbara County.
More than 170 miles to the south,
a 27-year-old suspect was arrested
in the San Diego area.
Investigators were exploring
the links between the two men on
Saturday, which would have been
the little girls sixth birthday,
authorities said. The two men were
r e c e n t l y
involved in a
business deal,
and financial
gain could have
been a motive
in the slayings,
a ut h o r i t i e s
said.
P i e r r e
Pierre Haobsh
Haobsh, 27, of
Oceanside was taken into custody
at gunpoint at a gas station in San
Diego County, Santa Barbara
County Sheriff Bob Brown said
Friday. A loaded handgun and
property belonging to one of the
victims was found inside the car,
the sheriff said.
Deputies who went to check on
the welfare of 57-year-old Dr.

Weidong Henry Han on
Wednesday found the bodies of the
physician, his 29-year-old wife,
Huijie Jenni Yu, and the couples
5-year-old daughter, Emily Han, in
the familys multimillion-dollar
home on the outskirts of Santa
Barbara.
They had last been seen the
night before, and two associates
had been alarmed when Han failed
to show up for a meeting.
Haobsh is a U.S. citizen, authorities said, but few other details
about him were released.
Nadine Jolie Courtney, a beauty
blogger and author, told the
Associated Press in an email message Saturday that Haobsh was her
brother. She condemned the

killings and extended her prayers
to the Han family.
We cannot wrap our minds
around this tragedy and are in a
state of shock, she wrote on
behalf of herself and her husband.
The killings shook Santa
Barbara, where Han, who owned
and operated the Santa Barbara
Herb Clinic, was a popular figure.
Han had owned and operated the
Santa Barbara Herb Clinic since
1991, according to the clinics
website. Public records show he
is a licensed acupuncturist.
A biography on his website
says he earned degrees in
Oriental and Western medicine
from a Beijing university in

1982, graduating at the top of
his class. He moved to the U.S. a
few years later to study psychology.
Han came from a family of
Chinese doctors and provided traditional treatments including
acupuncture, acupressure and
herbal formulas from an on-site
Chinese pharmacy.
He is co-author of the book
Ancient
Herbs,
Modern
Medicine, and he was working
on a volume about how to integrate Chinese and Western medicine. At the clinic, he created
individualized herbal formulas
for each patient that were filled at
an on-site pharmacy.
Sonoma Coast commercial crab season starts UC Berkeley under watchful eye
SANTA ROSA The commercial crab season officially opened

Saturday after being postponed for
more
than
four months
because tests
showed high
levels
of
domoic acid,
a naturally
o c c ur r i n g
neurotoxin.
But local
fishermen
say they wont know how salvageable their Dungeness crab season
will be until Monday.
Michael Lucas, owner of North
Coast Fisheries, will inspect the
quality of the crab caught off the
Sonoma Coast. His findings like-
ly will make or break whats left of

the crab season that typically ends
on June 30 in the waters south of
the Sonoma-Mendocino county
line, the Santa Rosa Press
De m o c r a t
reported.
Lucas
first
must determine
if the quality of
the crab has any
commercial
value.
Hell
determine that
based
on
whether the crustaceans are molting and the quality of their shell
and the meat.
He also must weigh whether
crabbing this late in the season
could hurt the local stock for next
years season, such as interfering
with their mating and molting
cycle, he said.
We could damage the next two
or three years, Lucas said of the
potential harm that could be done
in late harvesting.
The results are eagerly anticipated by local fishermen who have
suffered economically since state
officials postponed the season,
scheduled to begin in midNovember. Local and state officials have pressed for federal disaster relief.
Crab company owner Tony
Anello said that according to
recreational fishermen the quality
appears to be decent. Recreational
fishermen were allowed to start
harvesting crab off the Sonoma
coast since March 18.
It just hinges on the quality of
crab out there right now, Anello
said. This has been a real mess.
for sexual harassment complaints

By Olga Rodriguez
BERKELEY University of
California
President
Janet
Napolitano announced Saturday it
will
closely
monitor
UC
Berkeleys efforts to address sexual harassment complaints and
assaults on campus following an
outcry over what some saw as
light-handed discipline of faculty
members who sexually harassed
students and staff.
Napolitano said in a statement
that UC Berkeley Chancellor
Nicholas Dirks will provide her
office with written reports on the
universitys plan to address sexual
harassment on campus and that the
two of them will meet in-person
monthly to discuss the issue, with

the first meeting scheduled for
Friday.
Napolitanos announcement follows a promise last week by Dirks
to address and prevent sexual
harassment and violence on the
UC Berkeley campus.
I am happy that Chancellor
Dirks agrees that these issues
demand concentrated, effective
measures, Napolitano said. We
both believe UC Berkeley needs to
bring the same focus and competence to its handling of sexual
assault and harassment investigations as it does its education and
research missions.
Dirks last week rolled out a plan
to address sexual harassment and
sexual violence on campus.

wins in three states;

Donald Trump challenges Sanders
Clinton has big delegate lead
Cheesehead Revolution
By Lisa Lerer
By Scott Bauer
MADISON, Wis. A trio of Wisconsin

Republicans looking to inject the party
with their own youthful, aggressive brand of
conservatism ushered in the Cheesehead
Revolution. Their aim was to position the
GOP for success in the 2016 presidential
election.
Then came Donald Trump.
With the anti-Trump movement in full
swing even as Trump solidifies his frontrunner status in the presidential race, the
focus turns to the April 5 primary in the
home state of those three heavyweights:
House Speaker Paul Ryan, Republican
National Committee Chairman Reince
Priebus and Gov. Scott Walker.
They are trying to chart a course in the
face of a revolt over Trumps rise and what it
means for the future of the Republican Party
and for each of them individually.
The great plans came off the tracks with
the presence of Donald Trump, both in terms
of where the party would be and presidential
ambitions, said Democratic Milwaukee
Mayor Tom Barrett, who ran against Walker
twice and lost both times. Donald Trump
changed everything.
The Cheesehead Revolution, as Walker
and Priebus dubbed it, began in 2011. With
Ryan rising in the House, Walker a new governor, and Priebus taking over the party
apparatus, the trio then represented what
looked to be a unified party in a swing state
that could become a GOP stronghold in pres-
idential races to come.

But in 2012, Mitt
Romney lost to incumbent Barack Obama, with
Ryan as his running
mate. Priebus tried to
steer the party in a more
inclusive direction.
In 2013, he issued the
and
Donald Trump Growth
Opportunity Project,
aimed toward an immigration overhaul and
outreach to minorities, and driven by the
recognition that Hispanics in particular
were rising as a proportion of the population.
Now that tract is known as an autopsy
report.
The recommendations put Priebus at odds
with more conservative Republicans. And
now, two of the three remaining presidential
candidates, Trump and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz,
have built their campaigns not on trying to
broaden the party by reaching out to
Hispanics and minorities, but by appealing
to evangelicals and more conservative
white voters.
Priebuss report has been haunting the
Republican Party ever since its release,
said Steve King, an Iowa Republican congressman who backs Cruz.
Its awfully hard to recover from something like that, King said.
Trump launched his campaign by calling
Mexican immigrants rapists and criminals.
Hes made a border wall a cornerstone of his
platform.
WASHINGTON Bernie Sanders scored

three wins in Western caucus contests, giving
a powerful psychological boost to his supporters but doing little to move him closer to
securing the Democratic nomination.
While results in Washington, Alaska and
Hawaii barely dented Hillary Clintons significant delegate lead, Sanders wins on
Saturday underscored her persistent vulnerabilities within her own party, particularly
with young voters and activists who have
been inspired by her rivals unapologetically liberal message.
In an interview with the Associated Press,
Sanders cast his performance as part of a
Western comeback, saying he expects to
close the delegate gap with Clinton as the
contest moves to the more liberal northeastern states, including her home state of New
York. He also said his campaign is increasing its outreach to superdelegates, the party
insiders who can pick either candidate and
are overwhelmingly with Clinton.
The Deep South is a

very conservative part of
the country, he said.
Now that were heading
into a progressive part of
the country, we expect to
do much better.
He added: There is a
path to victory. With
Hillary Clinton Clinton far in front,
however, it is a difficult
path. Clinton anticipated the losses: She
barely campaigned in the three states, making just one day of stops in Washington
state, and was spending the Easter weekend
with her family.
She is turning her focus to the April 19
contest in New York, seeking to win a large
share of the delegates at stake and to avoid
the blow of losing to Sanders in a state she
represented in the Senate. She is trying to
lock up an even larger share of delegates in
five northeastern contests a week later, hoping to deliver a big enough haul to unify the
Democratic Party and relegate Sanders to little more than a protest candidate.

Riot at Brussels attacks shrine

BRUSSELS Belgian riot

police clashed Sunday with hundreds of right-wing hooligans at a
temporary shrine honoring victims of the Brussels suicide bombings, as investigators launched
fresh anti-terror raids, taking four
more people into custody.
Police used water cannon when
scuffles broke out in front of the
Bourse, which has become a symbolic rallying point for people to
pay their respects to those who
died in Tuesdays attacks. Black
clad men carrying an anti-Islamic
State group banner with an expletive on it trampled parts of the
shrine, shouting Nazi slogans.
Ten were arrested and two police
officers injured.
We had 340 hooligans from different football clubs who came to
Brussels and we knew for sure that
they would create some trouble,
Police Commissioner Christian
De Coninck said. It was a very
difficult police operation because
lots of families with kids were
here.

DAMASCUS, Syria Syrian

government forces recaptured the
ancient city of Palmyra on Sunday,
scoring an important victory over
Islamic State fighters who waged a
10-month reign of terror there and
dealing the group its first major
defeat since an international
agreement to battle terrorism in

the fractured nation took effect
last year.
The city known to Syrians as the
Bride of the Desert is famous for
its 2,000-year-old ruins that once
drew tens of thousands of visitors
each year before IS destroyed
many of the monuments. The
extent of the destruction remained
unclear. Initial footage on Syrian

shattered statues. But Palmyras
grand colonnades appeared to be
in relatively good condition.
The government forces were
supported by Lebanese militias
and Russian air power. The Islamic
State now faces pressure on several fronts.

People trying to pay their
respects were also dismayed.
It was important for us to be
here symbolically, said Samia

of men who were here and doing
the Nazi salute, shouting death to
Arabs and so we werent able to

We are all here today for peace,
and for the brotherhood among

Federal prosecutors, meanwhile,
said Sunday mornings raids were

terrorism but did not specify
whether it had any links to the
March 22 attacks.
Thirteen raids were launched in
the capital and the northern cities
of Mechelen and Duffel. An investigating judge was to decide later
whether to keep the four in custody. Five were released after questioning.
Suspected plotters also were

arrested Sunday in Italy and the
Netherlands, though few details of
their activity were released immediately.
Tuesdays bomb attacks are also
tearing at the fabric of the government, justice system and police,
and Belgiums interior minister
sought Sunday to contain the
growing criticism of the governments handling of the tragedy.
Interior Minister Jan Jambon
conceded Sunday that decades of
neglect had hampered the governments response to violent
extremism.
He said the government has
invested 600 million euros ($670
million) into police and security
services over the past two years
but that Belgiums justice system
and security services are still lagging behind.
Jambon, whose offer to resign
Thursday was declined by the
prime minister, also acknowledged some shortcomings prior to
the attacks.
There have been errors, he
said on VRT television.

Leave the garbage service alone
Editor,
Accolades to the San Mateo City
Council for their common sense
unanimous vote against reduced
garbage pickups. They made my day.
RethinkWastes pilot program
should be permanently placed in the
nearest dumpster. This is not a good
program for seniors like me who
already have three bins designed for
easy handling, size and rolling movements to and from the sidewalk curb.
The present garbage service works
well, is greatly appreciated and
should not be changed by compost
and recycling zealots.

Garbage and recycling pickups

Editor,
On March 25, there were two letters
addressing the proposed reduction in
recycle pickup in the city of San
Mateo. The San Mateo City Council
voted against the proposal to reduce
the number of pickups. For San
Mateo and Foster City, this may be
acceptable. Belmont, on the other
hand, has gone from four truck pickups every two weeks to six, a 50 percent increase in truck trafc on our
streets. What I have noticed, since
this change, is that the recycle bins
are lled with mostly air. Boxes are
not broken down and recycle material
is just thrown into the bins. So now
we pay more than prior to the change
and our recycling is mostly air. It
seems the weekly the composting
bins are also half full.
The Belmont City Council should
take a leadership position and reduce
the six pickups every two weeks to
four. This way, we would save our
streets from all the truck trafc and
reduce our bills by one-third. In addition, there would be a reduction in air
pollution by a third. Its a win-win
for everyone.

Editor,
Recently, a supplier of mine,
Armando, was run into by a bicyclist.
He was driving his car to my store and
apparently the man on the bike did

into the vehicle. Armando experienced some dents in the side of his
car, but he was not hurt. The biker, on
the other hand, was bleeding badly

hospital in an ambulance. He got better later, last time I heard.

What most people do not witness
was what happened to Armando the
next few days. He was upset enough
by what happened to the biker that he
immediately called a family member
to console him. I called him more
then once later that day to check in
with him. He was slowly rebounding.
A few days later he lost his job.
Armando was driving a company car
and apparently his employer was concerned about liability from the accident so they thought it best to let him
go.
I am an avid bicyclist, so I pay a lot
of attention to the constant bad
habits of bicyclists as well as those
of drivers. It all comes down to being
considerate. This is a
commodityquite lacking in the Bay
Area.
On the way home this week, I
watched a ten year old bicyclist run a
stop sign on the way to Central
Middle School. The crossing guard
said this young man does this all the
time. Next time you run a stop sign,
keep in mind that a child could possibly be watching your poor example .

Risky business
on Water Tank Hill
Editor,
As the residents of the Baywood
Park-Highlands neighborhood attended the public hearings
regardingdevelopment of
theAscension Heights Subdivision,
we were consistently alarmed by the
vague, inadequate environmental and
safety mitigation measures proposed
by the developer and readily accepted
by the San MateoCounty Planning
Department, Planning Commission
and Board of
Supervisors.Thehazardsof building
19 large homes on steeplyslopedWater Tank Hill,in an area
with a history of landslides and
severe erosion, were deemed acceptable risksby our supervisors, who
approved the project4-1.
Thislack of responsible planning
is especially troubling at a time when
county residents are dealing with the
horror of the crumbling bluff in
Pacica.Dennis Thomas, the developer of Water Tank Hill, owns the
apartment building at 340 Esplanade
Ave. in Pacica and was quoted by
areporter in 2011 describing issues
that threatened his building.
Theres no problem with the
bluff.Theres some erosion at the
top, but its just surface erosion.

Editor,
Not one penny of the San
MateoCounty Harbor District
fundsshould be paid for the bogus and
unauthorized trip taken by board
member Sabrina Brennan (Harbor
District boss: I know better in the
March 22 edition of the Daily
Journal).
Based on what I read, this trip was
not authorized by the board. Brennan
decided to go unilaterally, therefore
she can pay her own way. The Harbor
District did not have a formal position on the matters being discussed at
the subject meeting so Brennan was
going as a concerned citizen. The
Harbor District general manager
reports he authorized the trip and
reliedon his experience rather than
district policy.
Not much experience is needed to
understand the general manager works
for the board and had zero authority to
authorize a board member to take this
trip. If the general manager wants to
provide cover for one of his bosses
then he can write a personal check if
Brennan chooses not to.Using taxpayer funds to pay for this personal
trip is inappropriate. Makes me wonder what other inappropriate activities has this public agency undertaken.

Ads, ads and

more ads, but
not on 280
e know that advertising plays a major role in

selling all sorts of things. Ads proliferate the
Internet to pay for free information and entertainment. They interrupt free TV. We are forced to watch
them in the movie theater before the main feature. Our
ball parks keep getting new corporate names to provide
revenue for host cities and teams. According to Gail
Collins in a recent New
York Times column,
theres a stadium in Akron,
Ohio named InfoCision.
And theres the KFC Yum
Center in Louisville, Ky.
Cities have sold their
souls when it comes to
naming rights. Caltrain
and SamTrans are wrapped
in psychedelic ads to
obtain revenue. Even
KQED succumbs. Now San
Mateo County is considering new billboards on
Highway 101 to augment
the county budget. But
when word broke out about
a section of County Manager John Maltbies report to
the Board of Supervisors headed Outdoor Advertising
program being considered along Highways I-280 and
101, all hell broke loose.
Lennie Roberts, the Committee for Green Foothills
legislative advocate and the countys respected environmental voice, was on the phone. According to later
reports, the county was never seriously thinking of billboards on Interstate 280 because they are not allowed.
Whats more, any new billboards would have to be on
county land. Michelle Durand, county communications
director, told me that not only Interstate 280, but
Middlefield Road and El Camino Real are off the list. So
the study, if approved, would be limited to small pockets
of county land on Highway 101 where billboards already
exist including a parcel at the 101/Woodside Road
Interchange, the Maple Street Correctional Center, the
now vacant Womens Correctional Center and the San
Carlos Airport. The contract should come before the
board in late April/early May and take approximately six
months to complete.
***
Supervisor Dave Pine was not excited about the
prospect of new billboards on county land and preferred
not going ahead with the study when it was presented to
the board. But this is a project supervisors Adrienne
Tissier and Carole Groom have been working on for
years and it is not likely they will back off. Pine says
hes still not sold. While the initial reports were
wrong, just the thought of spoiling beautiful Interstate
280 with billboards was enough to bring out the emails,
blogs and angry phone calls. And some contend those
big billboards are a distraction and safety hazard for drivers.
***
Interstate 280 is also in the news for a different reason. Mayor Ed Lee wants to tear down the part of
Interstate 280 which connects to Mission Bay and make
that area the neighborhood of the future. Read expansion. The highways potential demolition was described
in a city study which looks at relocating Caltrains
Fourth and King rail yard, a $2.6 billion proposal to
connect high-speed rail and Caltrain to the new Transbay
Transit Center, and a 1.3-mile tunnel from the transit
center to Mission Bay. Removing that portion of
Interstate 280 and the rail yard would free up 30 acres of
land for development. Many South Bay commuters
depend on the Interstate 280 alternative to Highway 101
to drive to San Francisco and theres some question as to
how happy Caltrain is with the mayors proposal.
***
Bad news for local drivers is the elimination of state
funding for improvements to the 101/92 interchange
which backs up traffic in San Mateo. Especially with
new developments off of State Route 92 and Delaware
Street in San Mateo and new office/housing in Foster
City. Members of the Metropolitan Transportation
Commission expressed frustration but approved a list of
cuts, including the one above. Funding may not be available until 2021.

Tycoon behind $43B agrochemical bid

is Chinas most aggressive dealmaker
By Joe McDonald
BEIJING The tycoon who is

offering $43 billion for Swiss
agrochemicals giant Syngenta
keeps a low profile, but is Chinas
most aggressive dealmaker.
Ren Jianxin, chairman of stateowned ChemChina, is behind
most of Chinas big foreign acquisitions, from Italian tire brand
Pirelli to Norwegian chemical
supplier Elkem and KraussMaffei,
a German industrial machinery
maker.
Since 2010, Ren has splashed
out an eye-popping $63.9 billion
on foreign assets, some 60 percent more than the No. 2 Chinese
buyer, according to Dealogic, a
financial data provider.
It is unusually ambitious, but
Ren is an unusual figure a private entrepreneur who built an
empire by gobbling up more than
100 state-owned enterprises.
ChemChina, also known as
China National Chemical Corp.,
already is one of Chinas biggest
companies, with $45 billion in
2015 revenue. Its 140, 000
employees include 48,000 abroad
in 140 countries.
Its acquisitions reflect the
appetite of cash-rich but young
Chinese companies for foreign
technology and brands. Some
want to sharpen their competitive
edge at home. Others want to get
into more profitable global markets as Chinese economic growth
slows.
Chinese acquisitions include
Swedish automaker Volvo, French
tourism company Club Med

and
the
American cinema chain AMC.
Ren,
58,
started out by
founding
a
maker of solvents, Bluestar
Ren Jianxin
Co., with seven
employees in 1984 in the northwestern city of Lanzhou, far from
Chinas eastern industrial heartland. The Pirelli website calls him
the pioneer of Chinas modern
cleaning industry.
Unlike other state industry managers who are career bureaucrats,
Ren can draw on that experience to
talk to foreign executives, said
Andre Loesekrug-Pietri, chairman
of A Capital, a private equity fund
in Beijing. He said Ren also has
recruited a handful of Western
executives, bringing in knowledge of foreign business cultures.
Strategy
At a news conference with
Syngentas president in February,
Ren looked like an investment
banker. He talked to reporters.
That makes a difference, said
Loesekrug-Pietri. They realize
that today, money alone does not
buy you love. Its the way you
present your strategy that is key.
In the mid-90s, Ren began taking control of a string of small
government chemical producers.
The state retained ownership
while Ren was given management
powers as the Communist Party
tried to revive money-losing
industries. According to news

reports, he avoided layoffs by
transferring idle employees to
noodle restaurants owned by his
company.
In 2004, the party bestowed on
Bluestars patchwork empire the
elite status of a national-level
state-owned enterprise. Today, it
is one of 106 companies controlled directly by the Cabinet,
alongside PetroChina Ltd. and
China Mobile Ltd.
In another pioneering move,
ChemChina sold 20 percent of a
subsidiary,
China
National
Bluestar Group, to U.S. private
equity fund Blackstone Group for
$600 million in 2007. The company said it was the first direct foreign investment in a Chinese
state-owned enterprise.
Ren lacks the fame of e-commerce pioneer Jack Ma of Alibaba
Group or of Wang Jianlin, the
Wanda Group chairman who agreed
in January to pay $3.5 billion for
Hollywood film studio Legendary
Entertainment.
Last month, Hong Kongs South
China Morning Post newspaper
called Ren the mystery man
behind ChemChina. He may be
the most important dealmaker
youve never heard of, the newspaper said.
Abroad, Rens buying spree
began in 2006 with Adisseo, a
French maker of food additives,
and Qenos, an Australian supplier
of polyethylene. ChemChina
bought Frances Rhodia Global
Silicone the next year, becoming
the No. 3 producer of organic silicon.
In 2011, China National

Bluestar Group paid $2 billion for
Elkem, a maker of silicon and carbon parts.
In
the
United
States,
ChemChina has so far avoided
major acquisitions. But China
National Bluestar Group has manufacturing, sales or research sites
in California, Georgia, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and South
Carolina. The company reported
$2.4 billion in U.S. revenues last
year.
ChemChinas approach shows
Chinese companies are increasingly willing to pay what it takes
to obtain premium brands, instead
of bargain-shopping and possibly
being stuck with underperforming
assets.
Last year, it stumped up $7.7
billion for a majority stake in
Pirelli. ChemChina already has its
own tire brand, Aeolus, but it is
low-priced and little-known
abroad, while Pirelli commands
premium prices.
Rens first offer of 449 Swiss
francs ($460) per share for
Syngenta, valuing the company at
about $42 billion, was rejected,
according to the South China
Morning Post. Citing unidentified
sources, it said he raised that to
480 Swiss francs ($491), which
the board endorsed.
To pay for it, ChemChina has
lined up $50 billion in lending
from Chinese and foreign banks,
according to the business magazine Caixin.
ChemChina would gain access
to Syngentas advanced fertilizer
and other agrochemical technolo-
gy at a time when rising Chinese

incomes are boosting demand for
food, creating new profit opportunities for suppliers.
Also, taking on Syngenta could
help Ren stay in charge as Beijing
carries out plans to cut the total
number of major state-owned companies to as few as 53 through
mergers. That can end the careers
of managers at companies that
wind up being absorbed by bigger
rivals.
There is a race for size, said
Loesekrug-Pietri. The bigger and
more international you are, the
bigger the chance you will be the
acquirer, rather than the target, in
these mergers.
Possible hurdle
In a possible hurdle to the deal,
members of the U.S. Senate agriculture committee called for a
review by the Committee on
Foreign Investment in the United
States. Led by the Treasury
Department, it looks at possible
threats to national security. The
lawmakers
asked
Treasury
Secretary Jacob Lew to include the
Department of Agriculture and the
Food and Drug Administration in
the review.
We believe that any foreign
acquisition of an important U.S.
agricultural asset should be
reviewed closely for potential
risks to our food system, the senators said in a letter Thursday to
Lew. They cited possible consequences for food security, food
safety, biosecurity and the highly
competitive U.S. farm sector as a
whole.
Tea party activists hail federal appeals court ruling vs IRS

By Dan Sewell
CINCINNATI Tea party

activists are heartened by a federal
appeals court ruling that strengthens their legal push against the
IRS for alleged targeting in past
election cycles.
A three-judge panel of the
Cincinnati-based 6th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals chastised government foot-dragging while
ordering the agency to give attorneys for tea party groups details
on tax-exempt applicants. A U.S.
district judge in Cincinnati this
year certified the case as a class
action.
Tea Party Patriots co-founder
Jenny Beth Martin praised the

original plaintiffs for relentless
pursuit of the truth.
The 2013 lawsuit was among litigation, congressional hearings
and federal investigations over
treatment of conservative groups
who said they were singled out for
extra IRS scrutiny. The Justice
Department decided against any
criminal charges after its probe.
Its about time, Tim Savaglio
of the Liberty Township Tea
Party said of the federal order to
release IRS records.
The IRS inspector general said
in a 2013 report that applications with such words as tea
party and patriots were set
aside, among hundreds of appli-
cations including some from liberal groups that languished.

Groups on agency Be On the
Lookout lists received what the
6th Circuit ruling called crushing demands for additional
information such as lists of
donors, the content of speeches
and presentations, details of
activities and copies of newsletters, emails and advertising
materials.
Savaglio said his group went
more than a year without
response to its application, then
received a letter seeking more
information about its activities.
He said that after providing
information, the tea party group
got another letter asking for clar-
ification. IRS employees, he

said, took exception to such
things as postings on the
groups Facebook page, including reposts by people not in
their group.
We considered ourselves an
education group, Savaglio said.
He said his group hasnt responded to an IRS request to re-apply
for special tax status.
Martin praised the NorCal Tea
Party Patriots, the Californiabased group since joined by
other groups in the Cincinnati
lawsuit. The group alleged violation of privacy laws and its constitutional rights.
The entire movement owes the
NorCal Tea Party their thanks for
keeping the pressure on the IRS

and never giving up the fight,
she said in a statement.
Much of the agencys top leadership was replaced, and the government says changed have been
made in how tax-exempt applications are handled.
The Justice Department didnt
respond immediately to a request
last week for comment on the 6th
Circuit ruling.
Judge Raymond Kethledge of
6th Circuit wrote that the IRS
response to the lawsuit has only
compounded the conduct that gave
rise to it, and said the court
expects it will do better going
forward and comply immediately
with court-ordered discovery.
Law enforcement investigators seek out private DNA databases

By Paule Elias
SAN
FRANCISCO
Investigators are broadening their

DNA searches beyond government
databases and demanding genetic
information from companies that
do ancestry research for their customers.
Two major companies that
research family lineage for fees
around $200 say that over the last
two years, they have received law
enforcement demands for genetic
information stored in their DNA
databases.
Ancestry. com and competitor
23andme report a total of five
requests from law agencies for the
genetic material of six individuals
in their growing databases of hundreds of thousands. Ancestry.com
turned over one persons data for

an investigation into the murder
and rape of an 18-year-old woman
in Idaho Falls, Idaho. 23andme
has received four other court orders
but persuaded investigators to
withdraw the requests.
The companies say law enforcement demands for genetic information are rare.
But privacy advocates and
experts are concerned that genetic
information turned over for medical, family history research or
other highly personal reasons
could be misused by investigators and that the few known
cases could be the start of a trend.
There will be more requests as
time goes on and the technology
evolves,
said New York
University law professor Erin
Murphy, author of Inside The
Cell: The Dark Side of Forensic

DNA.
Law enforcement agencies
across the country have access to
growing state and national databases with millions of genetic
samples of convicted offenders
and arrestees.
Investigators compare DNA
found at crime scenes against the
genetic samples in the government databases. They look at 13
distinct locations in a DNA sample, seeking exact matches at each
location to pair a suspect with
genetic material at the crime
scene.
Ancestry.com and 23andme officials say their databases wont be
useful to most criminal investigations because they analyze
regions of DNA different from the
locations
forensic
experts
explore. Still, that hasnt stopped

investigators stumped on cold
cases from contacting the companies for help.
In the summer of 2014, court
documents show, the Idaho Falls
Police Department obtained a warrant to seize genetic information
from Ancestry.com in connection
with the 1996 rape and murder of
Angie Dodge.
In 1998, Christopher Tapp was
sentenced to life in prison for
Dodges murder and rape, but hes
appealing his conviction saying
his confession was coerced.
Police are still working the case
at the insistence of Dodges mother and others because the only
DNA found on her body was not
Tapps and investigators believe
another suspect
also
was
involved.
Idaho Falls police sent the DNA

sample to Ancestry.com in 2014
to process.
Ancestry emailed the results to
the police without naming anyone
in the companys database, which
was only partially accessible to
the public.
The results, however, established a close, though not exact,
match. Believing the killer could
be a relative of the DNA donor,
police obtained a warrant to compel the company to turn over the
donors name.
The hurdles for this should be
extremely high, like getting a
warrant for a wiretap, because it is
an invasion of privacy, said Greg
Hampikian, a Boise State
University biology professor and
forensic DNA expert assisting
with efforts to exonerate Tapp.

SACRAMENTO It was a showcase of talent befitting of a state crown.

The Serra basketball team has touted the
sum-of-its-part attack all season long. Oh
what a season it was. And with the Padres
thrust into the limelight of Saturdays CIF
Division II state championship game at Sleep
Train Arena, they used the stage to show off
the full range of grit, guile and outright basketball savvy that got them there.
Once senior forward Jake Killingsworth got
cooking, there was no stopping Serra in its
march to a 48-43 win over Southern
California champion Long Beach Poly, marking the first victory in a state championship
game, for any sport, in Padres history.
This is huge, Serra head coach Chuck
Rapp said. We had a chance to do something
thats never been done before and thats so
rare and so special. And to plant that state
banner for the whole Padre nation is really
quite special. Im really proud of these guys.
What a great group, an historic group and a
special group. And this will be a day I will
remember for the rest of my life.
As he has been throughout the CIF tourney,
Killingsworth was a double-double force to
the tune of 15 points and 16 rebounds.
With the Padres trailing 19-14 with 3:35
remaining in the first half, Killingsworth
sparked a 13-2 run that would last until midway through the third quarter.
Jake is like an automatic double-double
you just kind of pencil them in and you depend
on it, Rapp said. Just rock solid, super consistent for us the last two years. Jake is a special Serra forward Jake Killingsworth drives the baseline for a reverse layup in the Padres 48-43 win

over Long Beach Poly in the CIF Division II state championship game Saturday at Sleep Train
Arena. Killingsworth notched a double-double with 15 points and 16 rebounds.
Its been a long time in coming. High

school teams in the city of San Mateo have
been playing basketball competitively for
about 100 years.
But not until Saturday did one of them,
whether male or female, finally capture a
California Interscholastic Federation state
championship.
Serra High School, on its second try,
accomplished that historic feat this past
Saturday by defeating Long Beach Poly, 4843, at Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento in
the state's Division II finale.
The achievement was Serras first CIF title
in any sport that has statewide playoffs.
(For example, baseball and softball and
boys and girls soccer do not have full state
championship competition.)
The Padres may have had more gifted basketball teams in the past the 2005 team
which lost in the Division I title game
comes to mind immediately but Coach
Chuck Rapp's 2016 edition wound up
achieving more than all the rest.
It did so without winning a West Catholic
Athletic League or Central Coast Section
Open Division championship.
Lets backtrack for a moment. California'
huge state prep basketball tournament, a
truly massive operation, is complicated and
the rules and designations for participation
have changed with numbing regularity
through the decades.
As of the last several years, there are actually 12 separate brackets, six for boys and
six for girls. They are divided into five
enrollment-based divisions, from large to
small, and the Open Division (for only the
best of the best regardless of enrollment).
Prior to the Northern and Southern
California playoffs, the states 10 geographic sections have their own tournaments to eliminate most teams.

Skyline benefits from breaking southpaw streak

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
It was the revenge of the right-handers

Saturday at Trojan Diamond.
Skyline (3-3 in Coast Pacific, 10-11-1
overall) ended its remarkable southpaw
streak with the first 21 games of the season
being started by left-handed pitchers. But
right-hander Ray Falk
didnt miss a beat in game
No. 22 to lead the Trojans
to a 5-4 win at home over
Monterey Peninsula (3-3,
12-11).
We needed a change,
Skyline manager Dino
Nomicos said. Monterey
this year has had trouRay Falk
ble with velocity and Ray
has been throwing hard. So I made a switch
to give [left-handed starting pitcher Kyle
Vallans] a rest. And [Falk] did what hes supposed to do.
Falk a freshman out of Terra Nova
settled in nicely, cruising through seven
innings while allowing two runs (one
earned) on three hits in his first collegiate
start to improve his record to 1-1.
The Trojans nearly let the lead get away in
the ninth though. Up 5-2 in the ninth,
Skyline used three relievers in the inning
before sophomore R. J. Hansen settled
things down in a hurry. Entering the game
with two runs in, one on and no outs, the
right-hander induced a double-play grounder
right out of bed and went on to close it out
for his first save of the year.
Skyline got on the board early in support
of Falk. In the second, Armando Fajardo
sparked a two-out rally with a double. Matt
Seubert followed with an RBI single to give
Skyline a 1-0 lead. But the big blast came in
the third innings when sophomore slugger
Neil Sterling belted a three-run home run,
his third of the year.
Weve been sputtering a little bit getting
clutch hits with runners in scoring posi-
tion, Nomicos said. Our pitchers have

been doing great but we just havent been
scoring any runs for them.
Fajardo and sophomore Brett Berghammer
paced the Trojans with two hits apiece.
Berghammer extended his hitting streak to
nine games, during which he is batting
.432. On the year, Berghammer owns a
team-best .360 batting average.
Nomicos said Falk will get another turn in
the rotation. His next start will likely be
during the second week of April when the
Trojans face Gavilan-Gilroy in a two-game
series.
The way he threw I think he is going to
get another start in the rotation here,
Nomicos said.
Raval captures Nor Cal Pitcher

of the Week honors, keeps rolling
Caada starting pitcher Julius Raval was
named the Northern California Pitcher of
the Week last Tuesday. Saturday, he just kept
rolling.
The sophomore right-hander Raval turned
in his fifth straight quality start to earn the win
as the Colts (4-0, 8-12)
triumphed 10-2 at home
over Hartnell (1-5, 1014). Raval allowed one
run on three hits through
seven innings for his
fourth straight victory,
Julius Raval improving his record to
4-0.
Hes been pitching his ass off for us,
Caada manager Tony Lucca said.
The previous Saturday in a 3-0 win over
Gavilan, Raval set down the first 20 batters
he faced to take a perfect game into the seventh inning. It was finally broken up by a
sharp infield single to the left side of the
infield.
I didnt realize he had a perfect game
going, Lucca said. Its easy to look at the
scoreboard and see no hits on it, but its like
any other game in baseball. No one wanted

to be the guy to jinx it, so nobody was saying anything.
Ravals latest outing wasnt nearly as
glamorous, but it got the job done. While he
did take a no-hitter into the fourth inning,
Hartnells leadoff batter reached on an infield
error in the first inning. And after a hit batsman and a walk, Raval had to pitch out of a
bases-loaded jam.
Saturday marked the Colts fourth straight
win to start Coast Pacific Conference play
after enduring an eight-game losing streak
near the start of the season and the offense
has been just as big a catalyst as Ravals dominance.
The Colts bashed 15 hits, rallying for five
runs in the third and four more in the fifth.
Its the whole attitude change, Lucca said.
Weve made some good adjustments. In the
first preseason games we were striking out
eight, nine, 10 times a game. It was leaving
runners on base and not getting runs
across. Now were cutting down swings and
putting balls in play. Weve not whiffing
every time.
Dante Biagini and Yordan Martinez-Garcia
totaled three hits apiece for Canada, with
Jacob Martinez, Rico Caravalho and Dom
Giuliani each tabbing two hits.
CSM falls to De Anza

College of San Mateo (3-3 in Coast Golden
Gate, 14-8) jumped out to an early lead
Saturday but couldnt hold on, falling 4-3 at
De Anza (4-2, 15-7).
The Bulldogs rallied to take a 3-1 lead in the
second inning, but the Dons tied it in the
sixth before jumping in front in the bottom of
the eighth. CSM reliever Roger Kruse departed with two on and one out, but closer Mark
Quinby was greeted by an RBI single by pinch
hitter Sam Reno to put De Anza ahead 4-3.
CSM was held to just five hits for the second straight game by De Anza pitchers. Last
Thursdays five-hit total, however, was
enough for the Bulldogs to eek out a 2-0 win
in the series opener.

Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart each made big steals in the
final minute to help the Wildcats (33-5) pull off the upset and
end the Jayhawks 17-game winning streak. The Wildcats are
back in the Final Four for the first time since 2009, and they
can credit balanced scoring and ferocious defense.
Jenkins, Hart and Ryan Arcidiacono each scored 13 points
for the Wildcats. They used a 10-0 run to take a 50-45 lead and
get key baskets and plays down the stretch in beating the
Jayhawks (33-5).
Devonte Graham had 17 points, and Frank Mason III and
Wayne Selden Jr. added 16 each for Kansas, which got just
four points from leading scorer Perry Ellis. The Jayhawks
shot 46 percent from the field and even won the rebounding
battle 32-28, but played from behind most of the night.
Even when it was ahead, Kansas never seemed in control
and ended up making desperation plays that didnt work.
Graham shot 5 of 9 from long range, but fouled out late, and
everyone else was a combined 1 for 13 from behind the arc.
Kansas also committed 16 turnovers, including several in the

Wildcats made to preserve the lead after finally wresting it

from Kansas.
It wasnt easy. Mason scored five points and the Jayhawks
cut it to 60-59 with 15 seconds left. But Arcidiacono, who
turned 22, preceded that with four free throws before Jenkins
and Brunson followed with two more. The Wildcats made 18
of 19 at the line and all eight in the final 33 seconds.
The Wildcats were also given the ball with 34 seconds left
when officials determined that Graham undercut Hart on a
scramble after Grahams turnover. Graham fouled out at that
point, and Masons foul led to the first of Arcidiaconos foul
shots.
Darryl Reynolds had two free throws and Bridges had a key

after a rough closing stretch, but slipped in as a 10 seed
before storming to its first Final Four since 2013 and No. 6

Jim Boheim, who was suspended for nine games as the result
of an NCAA investigation.

Point guard Lee Jones added 13 points, coming up huge on free throws converting 9 of

Christensen
plays role in
historic day
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Former Serra basketball assistant coach

Bob Christensen missed his chance as a state
title 11 years ago. Saturday, he played an
important role in the Padres capturing the
first state championship in program history.
Now a boys varsity assistant coach at
Oak Ridge-El Dorado Hills, Christensen
embraced Serra by opening the doors of the
court hes called home for the past decade.
The Padres conducted a 90-minute practice
session at Oak Ridge Saturday morning,
where they fine-tuned the game-plan that led
to a 48-43 victory over Long Beach Poly in
the CIF Division II state championship
game at Sleep Train Arena.
Christensen and Serra head coach Chuck
Rapp are lifelong friends. The two grew up
together in San Bruno and were teammates at
St. Robert Catholic School through their
eighth-grade year.
Rapp reunited with Christensen a 1986
graduate of Serra when Rapp took over as
the Padres head coach. Christensen stepped
down as Rapps assistant coach following the
2006 season to relocate to El Dorado Hills.
Bobby was a really good coach, Rapp
said. Excellent coach. Great Xs and Os
guy. And hes got a really good mind for the
game. The kids love him and hes a great
coach. We owe a lot of our early success to
him. He helped build the foundation of what
were all about.
Rapp is infamous among his players, past
and present, for his intense pregame practices.

All-WCAL forward Jeremiah Testa
couldnt find a groove with that

finished with eight points, but
missed easy layup after easy layup
and would convert just 2 of 12 from
the floor.
In the fourth quarter, however, the

the highest degree of difficulty of

The first came on a baseline fadeaway rainbow jumper that seemed to
fly on angels wings over an outstretched defender to find nothing
but net, improving the Serra lead to

pass that got loose in the key, only
to see Testa sprint in, scoop it up

flipped an off-balance underhand
finger-roll through the cylinder to
give the Padres a commanding 4335 lead.

After a spirited celebration at the

no one elite superstar.

the second half of the title game.
[That preparation is] extremely
important, Killingsworth said.
When it comes to their sets, when it
gets down to the end, it can be an
entirely different ball game.
The sense of routine also was a big
factor for Serra. While Long Beach
had to take on Sleep Train Arena for
the first time Saturday a daunting
task with its deep NBA shooting
backgrounds the Padres were
playing their second game there in
eight days.
We played one game [there] and
you kind of felt it was almost like

had to come all the way up from

So, it was good.

In Christensens last year at Serra,
he worked in tandem with current
assistant coach Sean Dugoni, who
took over Christensens role as
defensive coach exclusively in
2007.
I think [the transition] was
good, Dugoni said. Him and
Coach Rapp were lifetime best
friends, so it was a little bit of a transition trying to find my place. But
Chuck makes it easy for you. He
gives you a lot of responsibilities.
So, it was good.
The 2006 season was one for the
trophy case as well, as Christensen
rode off into the sunset that season

Batman v Superman opens to $170M

By Jake Coyle
NEW YORK Faster than a

speeding bullet and impervious to
lousy reviews, the superhero faceoff Batman v Superman: Dawn of
Justice rebounded from a smack
down from critics to debut with a
massive $170.1 million in North
America, the sixth best opening of
all-time.
The stakes were high for the
Warner Bros. release, which cost
$250 million to make and some
$150 million to market. But the
studios bid to launch a DC Comics
universe to rival Marvels empire
was met with persistent PR pains
and numerous release date changes.
It fought skepticism over Ben
Afflecks casting as Batman and a
barrage of bad reviews earlier in the
week. Things were bad enough to
spawn a ubiquitous viral video of
Sad Ben Affleck, which took the
actors response to the reviews and
scored it with Paul Simons The
Sound of Silence.
But the allure of seeing two of the
most iconic superheroes battle it
out was enough to set a new record
for the best pre-summer debut.
Batman v Superman also grossed
$254 million overseas, bringing
its global total to $424.1 million
for the weekend.

The mighty debut was met with a
huge sigh of relief by Warner Bros.,
which invested its full marketing
power in Batman v Superman.
The film, directed by Zack Snyder,
is the first of 10 DC Comics adaptations planned by the studio over the
next five years. Along with pitting
Henry Cavills Superman against
Batman, it introduces a number of
other heroes soon to get starring
roles, including Wonder Woman
(Gal Gadot) and the Flash (Ezra
Miller).
Audiences gave the film a
mediocre B CinemaScore, which
suggested some moviegoers agreed
with critics. But many fans (a good
number of whom bought tickets
well in advance) were undeterred.
There was a disconnect there
between what critics wrote and the
fan interest and the fan response,
said Jeff Goldstein, head of distribution for Warner Bros. What were
seeing is a huge amount of repeat
business.
The film dominated Easter weekend with the kind of blockbuster
performance usually reserved for
Memorial Day or July 4th. In second was the Disney Animation hit
Zootopia, with $23.1 million in
its fourth week of domestic release.
The go-to family release of the sea-
atios are all the rage. My brother

has one, and hes allergic to cats!
In fact, his catio will be featured
in what I believe is the states rst organ-
son, it has earned nearly $700 million globally. Universals My Big

Fat Greek Wedding 2, a sequel to
the 2002 hit romantic comedy,
debuted with $18.1 million
effective counterprogramming to
the male-centric Batman v
Superman.
Opening well above the $116.6
million debut of Snyders Superman
reboot Man of Steel, Batman v
Superman again proved that
among
comic-book
heroes,
Batman (who took first billing
from Superman, naturally) is second to none. The opening surpasses previous Batman installments
The Dark Knight Rises ($160.9
million) and The Dark Knight
($158.4 million).
It proves that the concept is bigger than negative reviews, said
Paul Dergarabedian, senior media
analyst for comScore. There was
no way that if youre a comic book
fan or just a movie fan that youre
going to miss out on a match-up of
such iconic characters. Audiences
have to see the movie for themselves.
The big weekend also breaks a
poor stretch for Warner Bros.,
which was hobbled by a number of
underperforming releases like In
the Heart of the Sea, Pan and
Point Break. If the estimate

best opening ever, topping Harry
Potter and Deathly Hallows Part 2
($169.2 million).
We all know that studios have
dips and you cant hit it out of the
ballpark every time, although we
try, said Goldstein. And we had a
little bit of a dip in 2015, no question. We always believed in our
upcoming slate. We knew it was just
a matter of getting to the films.
Whether word-of-mouth will be
good enough to help Batman v
Superman maintain its record-setting pace in the coming weeks
remains to be seen, but the March
release date means it will have little
competition. The film soaked up
IMAX, 3-D and large-format
screens, drawing a 62 percent male
audience.
At the end of the day, a superhero
movie can be a box-office superhero any month of the year, said
Dergarabedian. For Warner Bros.,
this is a seminal moment. It proves
how quickly fortunes can rise and
fall based on your slate of films.
This was a bet that paid off really
big for the studio.
Warner Bros. will hope the success continues for its next DC
Comics property, the all-villain
team-up film Suicide Squad, due

This is a small price to pay for the safe

Bison coming back FERRY

home to Montana
Indian reservation
By Matthew Brown
BILLINGS, Mont. Descendants of a

bison herd captured and sent to Canada more
than a century ago will be relocated to a
Montana American Indian reservation next
month, in what tribal leaders bill as a homecoming for a species emblematic of their
traditions.
The shipment of animals from Albertas
Elk Island National Park to the Blackfeet
Indian Reservation follows a 2014 treaty
among tribes in the United States and
Canada. That agreement aims to restore
bison to areas of the Rocky Mountains and
Great Plains where millions once roamed.
For thousands of years the Blackfeet
lived among the buffalo here. The buffalo
sustained our way of life, provided our food,
clothing, shelter, Blackfeet Chairman
Harry Barnes said. It became part of our
spiritual being. We want to return the buffalo.
The 89 plains bison, also known as buffalo, will form the nucleus of a herd that tribal leaders envision will soon roam freely
across a vast landscape: the Blackfeet reservation, nearby Glacier National Park and
the Badger-Two Medicine wilderness
more than 4,000 square miles combined.
Bison were hunted to near-extinction in
the late 1800s as European settlers advanced
across the once-open American West.
Most of the animals that survive today are
in commercial herds, raised for their meat
and typically interbred with cattle. The
Blackfeet have a commercial bison herd
established in 1972 that numbers more than
400 animals.
The lineage of Elk Islands bison, which
experts say are free of cattle genes, traces
back to a small group of animals captured
by several American Indians on Blackfeet
land just south of Canada.
Those bison were later sold to two men,
Charles Allard and Michel Pablo, who
formed what became known as the PabloAllard herd. By the early 1900s, the PabloAllard herd was said to be the largest collection of the animals remaining in the U.S.
After U.S. officials rejected a sale offer
from Pablo, the Canadian government purchased most of the bison. The animals were
then shipped train from Ravalli, Montana,
to Elk Island, according to park officials
and Western historians.

Theyve made a big circle, but now
theyre coming home, said Ervin Carlson,
a Blackfeet member and president of the
Intertribal Buffalo Council.
The relocation comes as the restoration of
genetically-pure bison to the Wests grasslands and forests have gained traction. The
efforts include the relocation of some genetically-pure bison from Yellowstone
National Park to two Indian reservations in
eastern and central Montana.
The tribes the Assiniboine and Sioux
Tribes of the Fort Peck Reservation and the
Assiniboine and Gros Ventre Tribes of the
Fort Belknap Reservations are signatories to the 2014 treaty. But ranchers and
landowners near the reservations have
strongly opposed the tribes plans, driven
by concerns over disease and the prospect
of bison competing with cattle for grass.
Brucellosis, the disease found in
Yellowstones bison herds, is absent from
Canadas Elk Island, according to the parks
superintendent, Stephen Flemming.
The difficulty (with Yellowstone bison)
is the stigma attached to them. In this case,
the animals (coming from Canada) have
never been exposed to brucellosis, said
Keith Aune with the Wildlife Conservation
Society, which has been working with the
Blackfeet on their bison program.
Over the past five years, Flemming said,
about 180 Elk Island bison were relocated to
form a private herd maintained by the
American Prairie Reserve, which controls a
large area between the Fort Peck and Fort
Belknap reservations. Those animals, too,
have met some resistance from ranchers, but
the absence of brucellosis has largely neutralized that issue as a point of contention.
The Blackfeet will loan 20 of the Elk
Island bison to the Oakland Zoo in
California for a special exhibit slated to
open this fall, according to tribal officials
and the zoos president, Joel Parrott.
Offspring from the animals would be
returned to Montana, and there are plans to
promote eco-tours to the Blackfeet
Reservation among zoo patrons.
Bison historically are native California
animals, too, Parrott said. Were going to
highlight the efforts of the Blackfeet. A big
part of this which is so unique is the return
of buffalo to tribal lands after all these
years.
The port has both floating marina docks

and fixed docks.
Prop SF operates one boat now and is purchasing three more as it starts to ramp up its
service, Jaber said.
It is looking to become eligible for
regional, state and federal transit funding as
it prepares to grow the business. Redwood
City Mayor John Seybert said the city has
been looking to expand ferry service for
years.
I think that ferry service has a great
future in Redwood City at the port to move
people in and out, Seybert said. If we can
WAGE
The governor and stakeholders have all
been negotiating earnestly and in good
faith for some time.
Leno did not confirm specifics of the
agreement, but most proposals have the
wage increasing about a dollar per year until
it reaches $15 per hour.
The Los Angeles Times, which first
reported the deal, said the wage would rise
to $10.50 in 2017, to $11 an hour in 2018,
and one dollar per year to take it to $15 by
2022. Businesses with fewer than 25
employees would have an extra year to comply.
At $10 an hour, California already has
one of the highest minimum wages in the
nation along with Massachusetts. Only
Washington, D.C., at $10.50 per hour is
higher. The hike to $15 would make it the
highest statewide wage in the nation by far,
though raises are in the works in other
states that might change by the time the
plateau is reached in 2022.
Some states have passed higher minimums for government employees and statecontracted workers, and some cities including Seattle have already passed $15 an hour
increases.

do a public/private partnership, its a great

opportunity.
Port leadership, he said, will spearhead
the movement.
Currently, Prop SF is opening a membership-based service between San Francisco
and Redwood City and seats are already filling up, Jaber said.
Prop SF is a modern solution to the ageold problem of clogged freeways, he said.
It will also partner with other agencies to
help commuters complete the first and last
miles of their trips.
We want to bring commercial traffic to
the Port of Redwood City and want to do it
right, Jaber said. We aim to prove you
can move people on the water.
Prop SF offers concierge service with
sport bucket seating, tray tables, cup holders and Wi-Fi.
And Oregon officials approved a law earlier this month that will increase that
states minimum wage to nearly $15 in
urban areas over the next six years.
California union leaders, however, said
they would not immediately dispense with
planned ballot measures.
Sean Wherley, a spokesman for SEIUUnited Healthcare Workers West, confirmed
that the SEIU parent union was involved in
the negotiations. He said SEIU-UHWWs
leadership will decide whether to push ahead
with its initiative that has already qualified
for the ballot.
Ours is on the ballot. We want to be certain of what all this is, Wherley said. If
some agreement is signed into law, then our
executive board would decide what to do.
They would only make that decision after
any agreement is signed into law.
The union proposal that has already qualified for the ballot calls for reaching the
$15 mark by 2021. The second proposed
measure would reach $15 by 2020.
Businesses and Democratic Gov. Jerry
Brown have said such a steep wage increase
would be incredibly costly.
A spokesman for Brown, Evan Westrup,
did not immediately respond to a request for
comment.
Kevin Liao, a spokesman for Assembly
Speaker Anthony Rendon, D-Paramount,
declined to comment.

THE TRUTH ABOUT "DISCOUNT" DENTAL IMPLANTS!
The old adage If it's too good to be true, it probably is applies to dentistry
too. When looking for tooth replacement options, do not fall victim to misleading marketing tactics. Do your research, ask the right questions, and know
what you are getting. Its a lifetime investment and shouldnt be taken lightly.
If you are researching dental implants you have seen the ads for $1895 complete
or $4000 OFF! Great deal right, NOT SO FAST chances are you are getting exactly
what you paid for, and not what an educated consumer would want! And it's not
being done by an Implant specialist ( there is no such designation sanctioned by
the dental board in California)!
Such special fees do not correlate with cost of highly trained professionals
and materials for a level of precision and quality that implant supported
crowns require. Here is the typical range costs to replace a single missing tooth:
Implant placement related costs to the dentist:
Dental Implant (reputable companies with well researched implants): $400 to $450
Healing abutment (a temporary extension that sits on the implant): $40 to $50
Surgical guide (a stent guiding accurate implant placement): $50 to $150
Drills (series of drills in various diameters necessary to prepare the bone for
implant placement): $50-$100.
Crown related costs to the dentist:
Impression post, Implant analog, Permanent abutment, abutment screw, Permanent Crown (made by a high quality USA lab ,Temporary Abutment, custom
Temporary Crown.
As you can see, these costs to the dentist amount to $1,360 - $1,950 just for the
cost of HIGH QUALITY materials. This does not include the impression
materials, accessory materials, advertising multiple appointments, personnel and
administrative costs, and a reasonable return to the dentist.
So just how does the discount implant center do it? Here is the catch: They
employ common "cutting corner" strategies to offer a low fee and still make
profit on this procedure.
Bottom line, don't look for the lowest price, but best long-term value!

DEATH
Its pretty horrific, the fact that
they waited until 6:30 in the morning
and ants had already been on the body.
And the whole reason he didnt have
24-hour care, was because the property
owner didnt want to pay for it, Kirby
said. Unfortunately, they were more
concerned with profits then patients.
Lastimosa, who did not return multiple calls for comment, at one point
owned three care homes throughout the
county, but closed a San Bruno site.
According to her LinkedIn profile,
she has run Elles Care Home for 11
years and has spent the last three years
also working as a life and health insurance agent.
The six-bed care facility at 704
Maddux Drive, Broadmoor Village,
blends in to its surrounding as a single-story home in a residential neighborhood.
The California Department of Social
Services, Community Care Licensing
Division, has issued the Broadmoor
location 30 citations, 13 of which
were for issues that had an immediate
health, safety or personal rights
impact, according to the states website.
In relation to Bennetts case, state
investigators found the facility did not
REPAIR
to resident Lisa Rosenthal.
But for the cafe to run, workers who
would be willing and able to make the
fixes must be identified, she said.
The first order of business is to see if
we can get it going is to get volunteers,
and see whether we have those people in
our community she said.
Items spanning from bikes to
blenders, fans to phones, mixers to
microwaves and all else in between
needing a little tender loving care for a
stay of execution could be viable candidates for the program, should it come to
fruition.
Rosenthal said those attempting to
get the Repair Cafe off the ground are
hopeful to host the program occasionally on the weekend in the Lane Room of
the Burlingame Library, 480 Primrose
Road.
There is no time frame set for the program to start, said Rosenthal, but
should there be sufficient interest from
volunteers, she would like the first
event to begin in late spring.
Rosenthal is on the librarys Board of
Directors and said the program is part of
an initiative by officials to bring the
services offered at the facility into the
meet his needs and was issued a $150

civil penalty, according to a report.
The department dismissed a complaint
of questionable death, investigators
determined Bennett died due to natural
causes, but they did conclude staff did
not respond to calls for help and his
body wasnt discovered until the next
day, according to the report.
Department spokesman Michael
Weston, recommended those searching
for these types of assisted living facilities go online and search the states
database for complaint history.
He also suggested people be very
active if you have a loved one staying
at a facility, be very active in their
lives and try to go back there as often
as possible to make sure their needs
are being met properly, Weston said.
Judith Guilfoyle, program manager
with the nonprofit Ombudsman
Services of San Mateo County, also
advised family members to be diligent
in checking in on those who are in care
facilities. She recommended surprise
visits at various times and reporting
any complaints to the Ombudsman
office, which advocates for patients and
keeps tabs on these types of facilities.
Guilfoyle said she could not comment on the Bennett case, but is familiar with Elles Care Home. She noted
the office has received no serious complaints about Elles, other than from
Bennetts family, and that there are
numerous similar small facilities
throughout the county.
People ask about this facility and I

feel comfortable about it, Guilfoyle
said, noting Elles has staff on site
24/7, but that theyre not required to
be awake the whole time. But you can
have the best facility in the world and
all you need is one caregiver thats not
doing its job and the whole facility
gets a bad reputation. If somebody
needs to get up and go to the bathroom
they should be responsive.
According to the states report,
Lastimosa told officials she was hesitant to hire wake staff because of the
cost. Guilfoyle noted wake staff can be
costly and often families place loved
ones in smaller homes because it can
be more affordable and patients often
receive more personal care.
Kirby said Elles Care Home was paid
$3,000 a month to care for Bennett
who had resided there since November
2013.
Knowing Elles Care Home manages
several facilities, Kirby said the family decided to file a lawsuit and want to
share their story.
Elles Care Home assured Bennett
would be cared for; instead, he died
after suffering for hours while incapacitated on the ground in the middle of
the night, Kirby said.
The families entrusted them to look
after their loved one, Kirby said. Its
just been horrible and theyre not
looking forward to having to litigate
this matter, but they dont want this to
happen to anyone else.
21st century.
Similar repair programs exist elsewhere in Santa Clara County, said
Rosenthal, and though she is sure there
may be some kinks in getting started,
she is confident Burlingame is capable
as well.
This is really just at the very, very
beginning the kernel stage, she
said. But Id imagine if it works in Palo
Alto, Mountain View and Sunnyvale,
why wouldnt it work here?
In other cities, apprenticeship opportunities have been established to help
young, interested workers develop their
skills as appliance fixers, said
Rosenthal, which could be another perk
of bringing the program to
Burlingame.
Its a great way for people to just
come together as a community, she
said.
The peak benefit of the program
though is the sustainability initiative
which can be forwarded by the Repair
Cafe, noted Rosenthal, as many of the
appliances rejuvenated by the volunteers would likely be thrown away
instead.
Its a way of keeping things out of
the landfill, she said.
Because consumer goods are cheaper
than ever before, many are willing to
throw out their damaged appliances
rather than invest the time and energy
in attempting to salvage them.
But many of those same products can

be harmful to the environment when
thrown in the garbage, said Rosenthal,
which highlights the sustainable values of the Repair Cafe.
Its really damaging to have something like that in the landfill, she
said. Plus everyone is looking to
save a buck or two, so why not see if
something can be easily repaired?
Volunteers experienced in fixing the
appliances who may be willing to contribute tools would be greatly appreciated as well, she said.
Hopefully after a few repair sessions
are hosted in Burlingame, participants
will be able to develop a more keen
sense of the appliances most commonly needed to be fixed, which will help
set the expectations for which skills
and tools are required.
For the items that cannot be spared,
Rosenthal said, those at the Repair
Cafe would likely be able to share
information on how to properly dispose of the appliances.
Ultimately though, Rosenthal said
she believes the program, should it be
launched, would be a great asset for
Burlingame. I think it is a great community venture, she said.
