Senior complex to get facelift

Federal tax credits awarded to San Mateos Edgewater Isle, two other county sites
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Edgewater Isle senior apartments in San Mateo earned a tax

credit from the state for a major
facelift that will temporarily dis-
place the residents who live in the

92-unit complex.
California State Treasurer John
Chiang announced last week that
tax credits were awarded to 16
California projects, three in San
Mateo County, to construct or pre-
serve more than 1,800 affordable

housing units across the state.
Tax credits were also awarded to
the Ocean View Senior Apartments
in Pacica and 6800 Mission
Family Housing Apartments in
Daly City, according to Chiangs
ofce.
The San Mateo City Council
approved a deal in January with
HIP Housing to rehabilitate the
units, built in 1985, to nance the
deal.
The deal assures that the units
will remain affordable for at least

another 23 years and, when HIP
renances a loan on the property,
it is expected to leverage another

Skyline ready to offer bachelors degrees

By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Students in the respiratory therapy program at Skyline College

credit it with changing the trajectory of their lives.
Michael Bustos said he appreciated the schools interest in offering a degree because he felt students who graduate from the pro-
gram will have leg up in the

always competitive medical profession.
This is a step toward the evolving standards that are always
going higher, and it gives us an
edge, he said.
The program itself is evolving
as ofcials at the San Bruno college are laying the groundwork to
roll out its rst four-year degree.
The school will begin offering

respiratory therapy students a baccalaureate degree in the fall semester next year, after the California
Community Colleges Board of
Governors gave nal approval
March 16 to license 12 community colleges across the state to participate in a pilot program.

Local education ofcials are ramping up for the implementation of a new testing system designed to better align
with new Common Core teaching curriculum.
Third- through eighth- and 11th-graders across the county will soon begin taking the Smarter Balanced tests,
which are designed to replaced the Standardized Testing and
Reporting, or STAR, assessments.
Smarter Balanced assessments test students knowledge
in language arts and mathematics based on Common Core
standards, which are taught throughout all state public
schools and require students to use critical thinking and
analytical skills to work through problems.
Gary Waddell, deputy superintendent in the county Ofce
of Education, praised the new testing system and the way it
challenged students to use skills that would benet them in
their pursuit of higher education and a career.
The test is a denite improvement in a number of ways,
he said. It is a much deeper measure of what students know
and are able to do.

Judge OKs punitive damages in
Silicon Valley gender bias case
SAN FRANCISCO A California
trial judge ruled Saturday that a woman
suing a Silicon Valley venture capital
firm in a high-profile gender bias case
may seek punitive damages that could
add tens of millions of dollars to the
$16 million in lost wages and bonuses
she is pursuing.
San Francisco Superior Court Judge
Harold Kahn denied a request by
lawyers for Kleiner Perkins Caufield &
Byers to have Ellen Paos demand for
unspecified punitive damages thrown
out. Pao, the interim CEO of the news
and social networking site Reddit,
claims she was passed over for a promotion at the firm because she is a
woman and then fired in 2012 after she
complained.
Kahn said there was enough evidence for the jury considering Paos
lawsuit to conclude that Kleiner
Perkins acted with malice, oppression
or fraud, which in California is the
legal threshold for awarding damages
that are designed to punish and deter
particularly bad behavior.
Per this standard, there is sufficient
evidence from which a reasonable
juror could conclude that Kleiner
Perkins engaged in intentional gender
discrimination by failing to promote
Ms. Pao and terminating her employment, the judge said in the one-paragraph decision.
Kleiner Perkins
has denied wrongdoing and says Pao
didnt get along
with her colleagues
and
performed
poorly after she
became a junior
partner
around
2010.
Ellen Pao
Jurors are expected to hear closing arguments in the
case on Tuesday. Kahns decision
means he will instruct them before
they start deliberating that they will
need to decide, along with the validity
of Paos underlying sex discrimination claim, is whether she is entitled
to punitive damages and if so, how
much. Punitive damages often run
much higher than the awards designed
to compensate plaintiffs for financial
losses.
The four-week trial on Paos lawsuit
has spotlighted gender imbalance at
elite Silicon Valley investment companies that are stacked with some of
the nations most accomplished graduates who compete aggressively to
back the next Google or Amazon.

Police were dispatched when a wheelchair, batteries and an electronic scooter were found on the 500 block of Palm

MILLBRAE
here are times when the world passes

you by unnoticed. This has been the
case of a piece of territory that once
was well known to most of the citizens of
the Peninsula.
El Camino Real (Mission Road) was
blazed in the late 1700s as a means of traveling from the Mission Santa Clara (San
Jose) and Mission Dolores (San Francisco).
A section of this well traveled road presented a problem due to the Colma Creek yearly
fluctuations little water in the summer
and too much water in the winter.
Nevertheless, it had an attraction that was
exploited by the early soldiers and church
officials it was a good place to raise cattle and horses they dearly needed. For more
than 60 years this was its designated use
raising cattle and horses. In 1836, Jose
Antonio Sanchez was awarded this land for
his service to the Spanish and Mexican
governments and the land continued as a
cattle ranch. His son, Isidro, inherited the
property when his father died in 1843 and he
lived on the land for a while. But the lure of
the good life in San Francisco (Yerba Buena)
was too appealing so he moved to the big
city to live. A piece of the land along
Mission Road was sold around 1850 and the
12-Mile House was built to service the
increased travel along this section of the
road. The ranch was sold to Mr. Edmonson
just after the 49er Gold Rush hit California.
Three years later, Charles Lux bought it and
the Miller-Lux Ranch was formed. Mr. Lux
built a palatial home along the road and a
small community called Baden developed to

City aims to deter blight dismantles
San Mateo considers ordinance to address vacant lots
explosive
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Prompted by several longvacant lots at downtown San

Mateos prime three-corners intersection, city officials are considering a citywide ordinance deterring visual blight by ensuring
owners maintain their properties
while awaiting development.
The City Council met last week
to discuss creating rules aimed at
deterring public nuisances such as
trash, graffiti, overgrown vegetation and trespassing by requiring
owners keep up vacant or abandoned lots.
City staff was directed to look at
ways to encourage owners to keep
their properties landscaped, consider hosting art installations or possibly agree to have suitable vacancies serve as community gardens
until they can be redevelop.
The council made the ordinance
a priority last year as it grew frustrated with the underutilized sites
of three former gas stations at the
corner of El Camino Real and
Third Avenue,
two of which
have sat vacant
for more than a
decade at the
gateway
into
downtown.
Although the
council
is
Joe Goethals delighted that
redev el o p men t
applications have been submitted
to transform all into mixed-use
properties, officials want a means
to ensure the citys aesthetics are
maintained in the future.
I think that with the movement
written on the three corners, its
taken some of the excitement out
of
this
conversation,
Councilman Joe Goethals said. I
think now that we finally see the
movement, maybe were forgetting a little bit how frustrating it
was for a long time.
Councilman Jack Matthews
remained skeptical whether the
redevelopment proposals would
materialize in the near future and
the council agreed to proceed with
a citywide ordinance.
In considering options, the
council reviewed ordinances currently in place in Berkeley,
Monterey Park and Pasadena. The
laws ranged from requiring
replacement of dead vegetation
within three days to deterring
property owners from using
unconventional security methods
such as boarding up windows.
The council was mixed on how
to address residential properties
but agreed the goal would be to
work collaboratively with all
owners to ensure a level of investment is made to prevent a property from deteriorating into an eyesore.
Something that allows us to
ask owners to provide basic
improvements that at least maintain the aesthetics of the community, Councilman Rick Bonilla
said. I like the idea of having an
action plan. If we have an owner
that says look, I dont have the
money or Im not getting any
offers, then OK fine, lets sit
down and work out a plan.
Councilmembers also noted the

possibility of using vacant lots to
support the publics interest in creating
community
gardens.
However, the council noted owners
may be hesitant to allow members
of the public onto their properties
and the city should avoid taking on
any unnecessary liability.
Many councilmembers noted
the importance of having a flexible regulation that could provide a
smorgasbord of options from
which a vacant lot owner can
choose to stay in compliance.
City staff will continue to research
possible options and return to the
council for further discussion of a
draft ordinance.
I dont think its one size fits
all. For me, what may be appropriate for the three corners may not
be whats appropriate for some
other lot, Mayor Maureen
Freschet said. Id like to give
some options and flexibility to
people versus anything real rigid.
But I do think we absolutely have
to take efforts to enhance the
appearance of lots.

Overtime tops $1B, hits pre-recession high

By Judy Lin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Overtime for

Californias state workers rose 20
percent last year and topped $1
billion even though there are
20,000 fewer employees than in
pre-recession 2008, the last time
the state paid out so much, according to new payroll data.
The increase comes after years
of recommendations from the
state auditor and budget analyst
calling for reducing vacancies,
using more relief staff and negotiating less-costly labor contracts
for workers in state prisons and
hospitals, which generate the
most overtime pay.
According to the state controllers payroll data reviewed by
The Associated Press, California
spent $1.13 billion in 2014 in
overtime pay for its 220, 000
workers, compared to $947 million in overtime for roughly
215,000 workers in 2013.
Overall payroll went up 7 percent from $15.3 billion to $16.4
billion as California enjoys a second year of budget surplus.
Some of the increase in overtime can be attributed to unanticipated costs, such as last years
severe wildfire season. But departments with the highest overtime
were not able to explain what

drove the spike beyond usual challenges to fill vacant positions and
cover critical shifts when employees take time off.
One taxpayer advocate said its
unfortunate that because the economy is doing well, politicians
lack the incentive to adopt personnel practices to restrain overtime.
California remains the land of
milk and honey for public
employees, said Jon Coupal,
president of the anti-tax Howard
Jarvis Taxpayers Association.
Its always been that way.
State officials acknowledged
that more needs to be done to minimize overtime, particularly at
institutions that treat patients and
inmates for psychiatric and medical care. Half of all the overtime
billed in 2014 came in the chronically understaffed Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation.
Jim Evans, a spokesman for
Gov. Jerry Brown, said the administration is trying to make sure
vacancies do not become an issue
that drives overtime, but noted
that some types of workers are difficult to recruit and retain because
theres a shortage of workers for
some positions, such as psychiatrists.
Some overtime costs are diffi-
cult to budget. The Department of

Forestry and Fire Protection had
$139 million in overtime last
year, the most in the past 10
years, according to payroll data.
The state battled 5,620 fires in
2014, nearly 1,000 more than the
states five-year average.
But the bulk of overtime charges
stem from long-standing vacancy
and staffing problems at the 34
adult prisons run by corrections.
In 2014, the main department
logged more than $542 million in
overtime pay, up 31 percent from
$414 million in 2013.
Bill Sessa, a corrections
spokesman, said the state experienced a high rate of retirement in
recent years while budgets were
slashed with the recession. As a
result, the department stopped
training recruits, further exacerbating the vacancy problem, he
said.
Since August, the academy has
graduated 3,000 officers, and the
goal is to hire 7,000 more over
the next three years. Our ambition is to minimize overtime, in
part, because officers work better
when theyre not working 16-hour
shifts, Sessa said.
The federal court-appointed
receiver overseeing inmate health
care is also in the process of
reviewing telemedicine capabili-
The Top 5
Here are the top five state
departments with the
highest overtime spending in
2014:
Corrections and
Rehabilitation, $542.6 million
Forestry and Fire Protection,
$139.2 million
California Highway Patrol,
$115.3 million
Department of State
Hospitals, $103.7 million
Transportation, $51.6

ties to reduce costly overtime

billing by physicians and nurses
at prisons, said Joyce Hayhoe, a
spokeswoman for receiver J.
Clark Kelso. In one year, overtime
has more than doubled for this
branch of corrections, from more
than $12 million to nearly $30
million.
In all, about 1,500 correctionalrelated staff billed more than
$100,000 in overtime in 2014,
including physicians, psychiatrists, nurses, lieutenant, sergeants and officers.
Hayhoe said California struggles to find enough primary care
physicians despite competitive
pay, in part, because of the location of prison health care facilities.

The Department of State
Hospitals, which serves mentally
ill patients, most of whom have
committed serious crimes, is taking to social media and created a
dedicated recruitment unit to
attract applicants, spokesman
Ken August said. The department
charged nearly $104 million in
overtime last year, up 5 percent
from 2013.
For years, the California state
auditor and Legislative Analysts
Office have made governors and
lawmakers aware of staffing inefficiencies and issued recommendations such as hiring more staff,
increasing the use of relief staff
similar to how substitute teachers
are used in schools and re-negotiating labor provisions that require
overtime shifts to be offered to
senior officers first.
Some of the recommendations
dont appear politically viable.
No union will give up the right
of seniority, said Nichol GomezPryde, a spokeswoman for the
California Correctional Peace
Officers Association, which represents correctional officers. The
union is among four labor contracts up for negotiation this summer.
Tahoe venues look beyond slopes to draw winter visitors

TRUCKEE As another Sierra

ski resort prepared to close for the
season on Sunday due to a lack of
snow, businesses around Lake
Tahoe have started looking
beyond the barren slopes as they
rethink how to draw visitors during the colder winter months.
Mountain resorts and hotels are
trying to expand their appeal with
new entertainment offerings such
as zip lines, skate parks and special

events that do not depend on the
weather, The Sacramento Bee said.
The Squaw Valley resort, for
example, hosted a bluegrass music
and beer this weekend after having
to cancel a World Cup ski and
snowboarding event earlier this
month. Meanwhile, the Sierra-atTahoe resort is trying to build a
more diverse clientele by promoting itself as a wedding venue.
Resorts have been looking at
their business models and seeing

we have to be in the mountain
recreation business, not the winter business, California Ski
Industry Association President
Bob Roberts told The Bee.
Sierra-at-Tahoe closed its lifts
early for the year last weekend,
joining Donner Ski Ranch,
Homewood, Soda Springs and
Tahoe Donner. The Sugar Bowl
resort was planning to call the ski
season quits on Sunday, just three
weeks after a storm dumped nearly

two feet of snow that quickly disappeared amid unusually warm
temperatures.
Tahoe has always been a yearround destination and the summer
months actually are when hotel
occupancy peaks on the Nevada

So instead of melting away,

beyond skiing and snowboarding.

Cruz ready to jump into 2016 race

By Steve Peoples
WASHINGTON
Texas
Republican Sen. Ted Cruz will
become the first major candidate
for president when he launches his
campaign Monday, kicking off
whats expected to be a rush over
the next few weeks of more than a
dozen White House hopefuls into
the 2016 campaign.
Cruz will formally get into the
race during a morning speech at
Liberty University in Lynchburg,
Virginia, choosing to begin his
campaign at the Christian college
founded by the Rev. Jerry Falwell
rather than his home state of Texas
or the early voting states of Iowa
and New Hampshire. Its a fitting
setting for Cruz, a 44-year-old tea
party darling whose entry into the
2016 campaign drew cheers Sunday
among fellow conservatives.
The official Republican pool of
candidates will take a quantum leap
forward with his announcement
tomorrow, said Amy Kremer, the
former head of the Tea Party
Express. Cruzs announcement,
she said, will excite the base in a
way we havent seen in years.
Elected for the first time just
three years ago, when he defeated
an establishment figure in Texas
politics with decades of experience in office, Cruz has hinted
openly for more than a year that
he wants to
move
down
Pen n s y l v an i a
Avenue from the
Senate and into
the
White
House.
His
plans were confirmed Sunday
by one of his
Ted Cruz
political strategists, who spoke to the
Associated Press on condition of
anonymity so as not to preclude
the announcement.
While Cruz is the first
Republican to declare his candidacy, he is all but certain to be followed by several big names in the
GOP, including former Florida
Gov. Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Gov.
Scott Walker and two Senate colleagues, Kentuckys Rand Paul and
Floridas Marco Rubio.
The Houston Chronicle first
reported details about Cruzs campaign launch. His move puts him
into pole position among those
whose strategy to win the nomination counts on courting the partys
most conservative voters, who hold
an outsized influence in the
Republican nominating process.
Cruz is going to make it tough
for all of the candidates who are
fighting to emerge as the champion of the anti-establishment wing
of the party, said GOP strategist
Kevin Madden. That is starting to
look like quite a scrum where lots

of candidates will be throwing
some sharp elbows.
Following his election to the
Senate in 2012, the former Texas
solicitor general quickly established himself as an uncompromising conservative willing to
take
on
Democrats
and
Republicans alike. He won praise
from tea party activists in 2013
for leading the GOPs push to partially shut the federal government
during an unsuccessful bid to
block money for President Barack
Obamas health care law.
In December, Cruz defied party
leaders to force a vote on opposing
Obamas executive actions on immigration. The strategy failed, and led
several of his Republican colleagues
to call Cruz out. You should have an
end goal in sight if youre going to
do these types of things and I dont
see an end goal other than irritating
a lot of people, said Sen. Orrin
Hatch, R-Utah.
Such admonitions mean little to
Cruz, who wins over crowds of
like-minded conservative voters
with his broadsides against
Obama, Congress and the federal
government. One of the nations
top college debaters while a student at Princeton University, Cruz
continues to be a leading voice for
the health laws repeal, and promises to abolish the Internal
Revenue Service.
Brown calls Ted

Cruz unfit to
run for president
SACRAMENTO California
Gov. Jerry Brown says U.S. Sen.
Ted Cruz views on climate
change
make
the
Texas
Republican unfit to run for president and that he would entertain
making another bid for the White
House himself if he were younger.
Brown, a Democrat who turns
77 next month, made the remarks
during an interview that aired on
Meet the Press on Sunday. Host
Chuck Todd asked the governor to
respond to a video clip of Cruz
telling Seth Meyers of Late
Night earlier in the week that
science and the snow he had just
encountered in New Hampshire
undermine the dire warnings of
global warming alarmists.
Brown didnt waste any time in
labeling Cruz comment as false
and countering that 90 percent of
the scientists who study climate
change believe it is real, humancaused and producing extreme
weather of all
kinds.
Cruz betokens such a
level of ignorance and a
direct falsification
of
existing sciJerry Brown entific data,
its shocking,
and I think that man has rendered
himself absolutely unfit to be
running for office, he said.
Cruz press secretary did not
respond to a call and e-mail seeking comment Sunday. Cruz is
expected to formally announce he
is seeking the GOP presidential
nomination on Monday.
Todd asked Brown if he would
be running for president in 2016
if he were 10 years younger.
Brown, who is serving a fourth
and final term as Californias
governor, previously sought the
Democratic nominations in
1976, 1989 and 1992.
Man facing terrorism charge writes to newspaper

SANTA ANA A 21-year-old

Southern California man accused
of trying to join the Islamic State
group vowed revenge and identified with the Charlie Hebdo massacre in France in a series of writings to a newspaper.
Adam Dandach, who pleaded not
guilty last week to attempting to
provide material support to a foreign terrorist group and other
charges, sent four letters and two
poems from jail to the Orange
County Register.
A poem titled The Price of
Freedom of Speech ends, Rot in

a grave of fire, right where you
belong. / Je suie Al-Qaeda, leaving another scar. The faulty
French is a play on the slogan, I
Am Charlie, adopted by supporters of the French newspaper that
was attacked in January, resulting
in 12 deaths.
Dandach wrote the poem told
from the perspective of two brothers in the attack three days after
the killings. He said he felt no
sympathy for the dead and wouldnt condemn the assailants,
though he added that his comments didnt mean he would carry
out the attack himself and that the

poem didnt necessarily reflect his
personal opinion.
A poem that runs more than two
typed pages reads, Oh, you hateful fiends! / Know that revenge
will come / Youre standing in
front of the One (God) / A punishment in a fiery sea / Of carnage and
blazing agony
He continues, I live my life
alone; nobody sees my tears. / Im
a stranger here; my pleas fall on
deaf ears.
Dandach first wrote the Register
in October after a reporter contacted him and his mother. In January,

he sent an untitled poem that he

described as an explanation of
my unfortunate situation, a message to my oppressors, a prayer
and a call to the Muslim nation.
The graduate of El Modena High
School in Orange wrote that he
hoped to reach out to those who
still carry a conscience in a society where having a conscience is
seen as weak and naive.
Dandachs attorney Pal LengyelLeahu declined to discuss the content of the poems and questioned
their authenticity. He said publishing them is akin to trying
Dandach in the newspaper.
Hes just a kid. Hes in way over

his head, Lengyel-Leahu said. Hes
actually a decent person.
He was detained in July as he
prepared to board a plane bound
for Turkey. Authorities say he
wanted to slip into Syria to join
the Islamic State. A trial is scheduled for June. Sawsan Ghannoum,
Dandachs mother, declined to
speak to the Register but sent a
letter to the newspaper in January.
Ghannoum, who authorities say
hid Dandachs original passport
and his money to prevent him
from traveling, wrote that her son
is innocent.

Cash-strapped Americans turn to refund advances

By Hope Yen
WASHINGTON
Cashstrapped Americans anxious for

tax refunds are increasingly turning to payment advances, prepaid
cards or other costly services
when getting tax preparation
help, according to new federal data
raising concerns among regulators about whether consumers are
fully informed about the fees.
Regulators are looking to
increase oversight of preparers
amid the rise in refund anticipation checks, a type of cash
advance especially popular among
low-income families who receive
the Earned Income Tax Credit, the
governments $65 billion cash
benefit program. The advances are
being marketed as a way to get fast
refunds or defer payment of tax
preparation costs.
The
Consumer
Financial
Protection Bureau says some con-
sumers have complaints about

refund anticipation checks centered on advertising, quality of
service or fees.
The bureau is finalizing the first
rules on prepaid debit cards,
including those for tax refunds,
that would require easy to understand disclosures upfront about
costs and risks.
Refund anticipation checks rose
to roughly 21.6 million in 2014,
up 17 percent from 2011, according to IRS data provided to The
Associated Press. About half the
purchasers are EITC recipients;
roughly 84 percent are lowincome, according to the data.

Industry analysts project the payment advances and their fees will
become more widespread as tax
preparers seek to boost revenue.
Currently, refund anticipation
checks and prepaid cards make up
10 percent of industry giant H&R
Blocks revenue and more than 20
percent of Liberty Tax Services,
according to earnings reports.
Both companies said they are
committed to providing consumers with the information they
need to make tax-filing decisions,
including use of refund anticipation checks. They said the payment advances offer added value,
such as convenience.
The Internal Revenue Service
has been pushing Congress for
new authority to regulate the
$10. 1 billion tax preparation
industry after an appeals court last
year barred it from requiring tax
preparers to undergo background
US pullout from Afghanistan

hinged to developing forces
By Deb Riechmann
WASHINGTON The pace of U.S. troop

withdrawals from Afghanistan will headline
Afghan President Ashraf Ghanis visit to
Washington, yet Americas exit from the
war remains tightly hinged to the abilities
of the Afghan forces that face a tough fight
against insurgents this spring.
President Barack Obama has promised to
end the longest U.S. war it began in the
aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror
attacks and get the remaining troops out
of Afghanistan by the end of his presidency.
Deficiencies in the Afghan security forces,
heavy casualties in the ranks of the army
and police, a fragile new government and
fears that Islamic State fighters could gain a
foothold in Afghanistan have combined to
persuade Obama to slow the withdrawal.
Instead of trimming the current U.S. force
of 9,800 to 5,500 by the end of the year,
U.S. military officials say the administration now might keep many of them there
well into 2016. Obama had said that after
that, the U. S. would only maintain an
embassy-based security force in Kabul of

perhaps 1,000 troops.
But on Friday, Jeff Eggers of the White
Houses National Security Council said that
too could be changed. He said the post-2016
plan will be considered on an on-going
basis. Officials later said that Eggers was
alluding to discussions about the breadth of
the U.S. relationship with Afghanistan after
2016, and that the size of the U.S. footprint
and the troop levels in Afghanistan that
Obama called for in May would not change.
At stake is the U.S. taxpayers more than
$60 billion investment so far in the
Afghan forces. The 327,000-member force
performs much better than before, but still
needs work.
While praising their ability to operate
mostly independently and securing the
nation during a protracted election, U.S. military officials say the Afghan forces still suffer from a host of problems: attrition, drug
abuse, desertions, illiteracy, poor recordkeeping, a lack of management and logistical skills, intelligence, a shortage of topnotch leaders and less-than-optimal cooperation between policemen and soldiers.
checks and testing.

Its the wild, wild West, said
Nina Olson, the IRS national taxpayer advocate, describing the
current state of the industry. She
called the level of risk for abuse in
pricing and quality of service
unprecedented.
The National Association of Tax
Professionals supports certification of providers to ensure a minimum level of competency. But the
Institute for Justice, which filed
the lawsuit against IRS, says new
licensing requirements and other
oversight arent the answer.
We should do more to increase
competition, not drive independent tax preparers out of the market, said Dan Alban, an attorney
for the group.
The average tax-preparation fee
for 2014 returns is $273, up 11
percent from two years ago,
according to a survey by the
National Society of Accountants.
But theres wide variation, with
fees of $400 or more, according to

the National Consumer Law
Center.
Netran Washington, 40, a materials handler in Cleveland, says
hes been going to a neighborhood tax preparer for four years,
eager for a fast refund.
Washington readily agreed when
asked if he preferred to pay for the
tax preparation later.
Washington says he was later
surprised by a $500 fee that
included the cost of a cash
advance.
Still, he kept going each year
until a friend suggested the
Volunteer Income Tax Assistance
program, an IRS program providing free tax preparation services
to low-income families. The IRScertified tax preparer found a filing
error that had cost Washington
$1,000 in unused tax credits and
helped him file an amended return.
It
was
very
upsetting,
Washington said.

US trains Iraqi forces as battle for Tikrit continues

TAJI, Iraq As the U.S. mission to Iraq expands, so do its

efforts to arm and train the countrys security forces to combat the
Islamic State group, with largescale operations continuing to
recapture territory from the Sunni
militants.
Hundreds of American advisers
are working at the Camp Taji military base just north of Baghdad to
train Iraqi forces on issues like
weaponry and better coordination
and integration of ground action
with coalition airstrikes.
The goal, U.S. military officials
say, is to teach the different divi-
sions of the Iraqi military how to

harmonize the operations of its
various fighting units.
This Iraqi commander ... has a
company worth of infantry soldiers, hes got some armor assets
from the Iraqi army, hes got two
helicopters that are flying ... and
then hes got engineers and
(explosive ordinance disposal),
said Maj. Russell Wagner, one of
the U.S. officers conducting training.
They are all out here working
in unison in order to get him
through this obstacle and into the
town that lies beyond, Wagner
said.
In November, President Barack
Obama authorized the deployment of up to

1, 500
more
Am e r i c a n
troops to bolster Iraqi forces,
which
could
more than douBarack Obama ble the total of
U. S. forces to
3,100. The boost in advisers and
trainers complements the air campaign launched by the U.S. in
August 2014.
The Iraqi military has struggled
to recover from its collapse in
June when the Islamic State group
captured countrys second-largest
city, Mosul, and swept over much

of northern Iraq. In the face of the
advance, commanders disappeared. Pleas for more ammunition went unanswered. In some
cases, soldiers stripped off their
uniforms and ran.
Twelve U.S. advisory teams had
been operating in Iraq since
August, stationed in joint operations centers in Baghdad and Irbil,
as well as in some of the outer
provinces, including volatile
Anbar province, which has been
under partial control of the militant group since early 2014.
The Iraqi military backed by
at least 20,000 Shiite militiamen
is fighting to regain control of
Saddam Husseins hometown of

Tikrit, one of several predominantly Sunni towns to fall to the
militants last year. Its one of the
first major operations in which
the U.S.-led coalition is not taking part, with U.S. officials saying they werent ask to participate. Iranian advisers have played
a prominent role on the front lines
of Iraqs Salahuddin province.
If Iraqi forces are unable to push
IS back and recover lost territory,
Obama would be faced with a
choice of accepting failure in Iraq
or committing U. S. combat
troops something both U.S.
and Iraqi officials have spoken
firmly against.
Enemies bearing down on Yemens president Greece fights German bailout

demands with Nazi-era claims
ADEN, Yemen This port city,

perched on an extinct volcano
protruding into the Arabian Sea on
Yemens far southern edge, has
become perhaps the last refuge of
the countrys embattled president,
and it feels like now all his enemies are bearing down on it.
Driven out of the capital, Sanaa,
by Shiite rebels who have taken
over much of the north, President
Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi and the
remains of his government have
made Aden their provisional capital. If they lose here, Hadi the
man the U.S. had hoped would stabilize the chaotic nation and fight
al-Qaidas powerful branch
likely will fall, plunging Yemen
into a civil war.
In his first speech since fleeing
Sanaa, Hadi on Saturday denounced

the rebel takeover as a coup
against constitutional legitimacy and declared Aden the countrys temporary capital.
The city is visibly expecting
assault, whether from the forces of
Hadis rival, ousted President Ali
Abdullah Saleh, who has allied
himself with the Shiite rebels, or
from al-Qaida militants. Army and
police forces loyal to Hadi and
their allied militiamen patrol
Adens streets and man checkpoints at key locations. Tanks
guard roads leading to the city and
children are largely staying home
from school.
There are great fears that plans
are underway for Aden to meet the
same fate as Sanaa, Nayef alBakry, Adens deputy governor,
told The Associated Press.
Referring to Saleh and the Shiite

rebels, they want to extend their
reach on both the ground and on
the coast.
Early this week, Hadis forces
fended off an attempt by police
commandos loyal to Saleh to capture the airport. But there are still
two army units loyal to Saleh in
the city. And on Sunday, the Shiite
rebels, backed by forces loyal to
Saleh, seized Yemens third largest
city, Taiz, 140 kilometers (85
miles) to the northwest of Aden.
Officials here fear it is a prelude to
an attack on Aden.
The takeover of Taiz, known as
the gateway to the south, followed the arrival there two days
ago of a column of 20 armored
fighting vehicles and 30 truckloads of Shiite rebel fighters and
pro-Saleh troops.

BERLIN It was 1943 and the

Nazis were deporting Greeces
Jews to death camps in Poland.
Hitlers genocidal accountants
reserved a chilling twist: The Jews
had to pay their train fare.
The bill for 58,585 Jews sent to
Auschwitz and other camps
exceeded 2 million Reichsmark
more than 25 million euros in
todays money.
For decades, this was a forgotten
footnote among all of the greater
horrors of the Holocaust. Today it
is returning to the fore amid the
increasingly bitter row between
Athens and Berlin over the Greek
financial bailout.
Jewish leaders in Thessaloniki,

home to Greeces largest Jewish
community, say they are considering how to reclaim the rail fares
from Germany with seven
decades of interest.
We will study the law and do our
best to claim, the communitys
president, David Saltiel, told The
Associated Press.
Such a move would suit the new
government in Athens, which is
trying to shift the public focus
from Greeces current debt crisis to
Germanys World War II debts
ahead of Mondays first visit to
Berlin by Greeces new Prime
Minister Alexis Tsipras.
War reparations have been a staple demand of previous Greek governments.

Rent stabilization and
overcrowding
Editor,
After reading aboutrent increases
for some tenants, I realized that we
have to also deal with overcrowding
in North Central San Mateo. I have
found thatno one wants to discuss or
write anything about this issue.
According to City-Data, in 2013, the
population in North Central was
12,873 which was doubled compared
to other San Mateo communities. As
of 2015, the North Central population has grown to 16,130 and is still
growing.
Eight new townhouses on the 700
block of Second Avenue are being
built now. I have just heard that
around the corner on Fremont Street
might be more new housing. I have
talked to tenants who have told me
that some landlords do not make any
improvementsand the tenantswill
pay for the cost themselves. In fact
they are told that if you want
improvements,your rent will
increase. At the cost they pay for
housing, they deserve to live in a
clean and healthy environment.
In 2006, I talked to a landlord who
told me that his water bill had doubled
from the previous year and Iimagine
its tripled by now. He also told me
that its very difcult to control the
overcrowding. I think its time for our
city ofcials to start working on
improving this community and start
making new regulations and to use
what codes we already have. I guess
San Mateo is not in a drought like the
rest of California. We still have many
issues with illegal dumping and dump
trucks parked on residential streets.
North Central deserves a better quality of life.

Safeway, slow way

Editor,
When the new Millbrae Safeway
was nally built, everything looked
bright. There was plenty of help, lots
of parking and a new, clean store
where just one could nd just about
everything one could need for home
cooking and cleaning.
Now, as time has passed, mostly
everything has remained the status
quo except help at the checkout stand.
Safeway management wants us to
believe that automation is the best
way to serve the customers.
Management has cut down on checkers to slow down the pace, forcing
customers to use the self-serve
machines. These machines put people
out of work. The price you pay at the
register has the cost of a real person
built into it.
By using self-serve machines, we
get cheated, and we dont get a discount. Live clerks earn a wage and
then spend the money shopping,

which keeps others working. What

does the machine do? It produces
more prot for the store, and pays no
taxes.
Tonight I was at the store, and there
were only two check stands open.
Neither check stand had a bagger and
seven to eight customers were waiting in line. People got tired of waiting, so they would either go to the
self-service machines or leave their
groceries and depart. This is not the
only time I have witnessed this atrocity. I have witnessed and have been
the victim of self-service machines
putting people out of work. People,
please dont allow lack of time or
patience to lure you away from human
contact. Safeway is a billion dollar
business with plans to make more by
cutting back on help at our expense.
Dont be like sheep going to slaughter, demand that Safeway management
supply the service you are paying for
and deserve.

Editor,
I was disappointed in the editorial
regarding the closing of Seton
Hospital (The future without Seton
in the March 18 edition of the Daily

Of the choices given regarding this
matter, not one mention was given to
the possibility of holding Attorney
General Kamala Harris feet to the re
and rescinding the onerous conditions
imposed to help her service-workers
union pals. Kamala cares about getting elected to the U.S. Senate if
she senses this turns into a political
liability, her political calculation
could change enabling Seton to stay
open at least for ve years while
other options are explored. I am disappointed the possibility of turning
this into a political liability for the
attorney general wasnt even mentioned as an option.

EPA takes over Cargill

How DMBs David Smith could
claim to be confused and outraged is
beyond elementary logic: Cargill has
been using Bay land zoned as tidal

stopped producing salt and want to
build luxury homes on mud does not
change geology or the protections of

Girl Scout cookie sales

This is in response to G. Moores
letter (Girl Scout cookies and obesity in the March 18 edition of the
Daily Journal). As a father of two former brownie and girl scouts I take
exception to her remarks. Cookies
toxic? There are not any deaths that I
know of. Obesity? They only sell
them once a year. I dont think this is
the cause of obesity; maybe the true
cause is a of lack of parent oversight,
too many videos and not enough outdoor activity. I might add that girl
scouts are involved in many outdoor
physical activities. If its not broken

Girl Scout cookies

Editor,
After reading the letters to the editor from Mr. Moore and Mr. Schwartz,
I went back and read Ms. Dimitres
column, Cookie monster from the
March 11, 2015 edition of the Daily
Journal. I agree with the letter writers
that she wrote a thoughtful well
researched article, but I disagree with
many of their comments. Mr. Moore
asserts that the cookies are lled with
toxic chemicals? Well surely we
would all be dead by now if that were
the case. Or did he mean toxic if we
ingested those ingredients
unprocessed and undiluted in huge
quantities?
Mr. Schwartz agreed with her commentary suggesting the Girl Scouts
organization may not care about
Americas health and general wellbeing. Have you been paying attention? Over the years they have shrunk
the portion sizes substantially and I
am certain that is out of concern for
our weight and not to increase prot
margins (Right?). Life is about choices and living with the consequences
of decisions made. Moderation is the
key. I buy my two boxes of Thin
Mints each year and, frozen, they last

The new
transit chief
F
or many, Jim Hartnett, former Redwood City mayor

and councilman was a surprise choice to replace
Mike Scanlon who announced his retirement last
August. Beginning next Monday, Hartnett will take over as
general manager of SamTrans, executive director of Caltrain
and executive director of the San Mateo County
Transportation Authority, also known as the TA.
But after interviewing 200 applicants, members of the
search committee which included representatives from San
Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties, agreed it
was more important to have political rather than operational skills in these challenging times. Also Hartnett is
someone most ofcials in the three counties know, especially those in San Mateo. Hartnett served on the Redwood City
Council for 15 years and most
importantly on both the
Caltrain Joint Powers Board,
or JPB, and the SamTrans
boards for 10 years. He also
was a member of the HighSpeed Rail Authority Board of
Directors. A candidate who had
operated transit districts but
was new to the area and
regional politics was perhaps
a riskier choice than Hartnett.
And perhaps many experienced transit ofcials werent
interested in taking on this
hot potato and moving to a
very expensive area despite the very generous salary.
***
Most jurisdictions have separate administrators for each
of their transit operations. San Mateo County has one chief
executive to manage all three: SamTrans, the bus system;
Caltrain, commuter rail between San Jose and San
Francisco; and the TA which oversees allocations of the
countys transportation sales tax. However, Hartnett will
have to deal with three boards of directors. The JPB is made
up of San Francisco, Santa Clara and San Mateo county
elected ofcials and some directors of transit agencies.
SamTrans and the TA are primarily made up of San Mateo
County supervisors and city councilmembers (selected by
the countys mayors but also include some community members).
***
Funding is always a challenge but increasingly so with
competition from other transit agencies such as BART
which is the big gorilla in the region and accordingly takes
up most of the available funding. San Franciscos Muni
(bus, trolley) runs a close second. Also, San Mateo County
is small potatoes compared to the much larger counties of
Santa Clara, Alameda, and Contra Costa. And San Francisco
still has the political clout of being the major (if not the
largest) city in the Bay Area. Recently, the Metropolitan
Transportation Commission, which determines in large part
what entities get federal, state and regional funding gave an
extra seat on its board to Santa Clara and Alameda counties.
Hartnett will have to deal with a money-losing SamTrans
which is trying to reinvent itself into a more popular bus
system. Caltrain still does not have a stable source of funding and has to rely on the generosity of its member counties. More funds for Caltrain in a future sales tax is certainly
on the table. But San Mateo Countys neighbors to the
south and north have other priorities. Caltrain was able to
rejuvenate with the popular baby bullet which offers express
service between San Francisco and San Jose and stations in
between. Now fare revenue is up and there is standing room
only on most commuter runs. Expanded development along
the Caltrain tracks means future riders and more dollars.
Then there is HSR where Hartnetts experience and connections will come in handy. Despite the lawsuits which keep
popping up, HSR is bound to happen (Hartnett called it a
generational thing, meaning it make take a while for the
entire system to get rolling). Before it will come Caltrain
electrication, a much-needed environmental improvement
which will also speed up the trains and allow for more stops.
Most of the Peninsula cities are resigned with sharing
Caltrain tracks with HSR, an improvement over the feared
four-track system originally proposed. None of this will be
easy and Hartnett has his work cut out for him.
***
Yet he wanted this challenge at age 64 after 20 years as a
litigation attorney in a small Redwood City rm. He feels
his experience has prepared him for whats ahead. He has
already met with SamTrans and Caltrain staff and is on the
phone making those important calls to the major players in
the region. Those who have worked with Hartnett respect
him for his know-how, his organizational skills and his
ability to work with others. Meanwhile, his wife Rosanne
Foust, currently on the Redwood City Council and CEO of
SAMCEDA, the San Mateo County Economic Development
Association, has resigned her post on the TA to avoid a conict of interest. She and Jim Hartnett are certainly the most
powerful power couple in the county.

Less snow means less water to power dams

By Ellen Knickmeyer
SAN FRANCISCO Flying

over the Sierra Nevada as
California entered its fourth year
of drought, the states energy
chief looked down and saw stark
bare granite cloaked in dirty
brown haze not the usual pristine white peaks heaped with snow
that would run the states hydroelectric dams for the year.
Spring is arriving with the
Pacific Northwest measuring near
record-low-snowfall, and much of
the rest of the West below average.
But what California is experiencing is historically low snowpack
a meager accumulation that has
serious implications not only for
the state but potentially for the
entire West if the drought not just
of water, but of snow, persists.
12 percent of average
Snowpack at 12 percent of average in the Sierra Nevada means
there is less runoff to feed rivers
and streams that run through dams
to generate cleanly produced
hydroelectric power. Despite the
states ambitious clean-air goals,
officials are turning to dirtier,
more costly fossil-fuel plants to
fill some of the power gap. They
also will seek more hydroelectricity imports in a region expected to
have markedly less to offer this
summer.
Low snowpack levels have put a strain on the states hydroelectric power
industry.
At a minimum, well keep the
lights
on,
said
Robert
Weisenmiller, chairman of the
California Energy Commission.
Were not concerned about not
having power.
What were concerned about,
Weisenmiller said, is the power
is going to come from different
sources not as benign for the
health of people and the environment as hydroelectricity.
A study this past week by the
nonprofit Pacific Institute think
tank in Oakland, California, estimated that three years of waning
hydroelectricity
during
Californias drought already have
cost utility ratepayers $1.4 billion, including purchases of
On the move
San Mateo-based So l arCi ty announced the appointment of Marco Krapel s as senior vice president of
Structured Finance and Strategy. Krapels will report to Chief
Financial Officer Brad Bus s and oversee the companys
project financing division.
Krapels joins SolarCity from Pegasus Capital Advisors,
where he was a partner. Prior to that, he was an executive
vice president with Rabobank, managing various divisions
over his 18-year career with the multinational banking and
financial services company, a global leader in food, agriculture and sustainability-oriented banking.
power from natural gas-fired

plants to make up for reduced
hydroelectric power.
The increased reliance on fossil
fuel also caused an 8 percent rise
in emissions of climate-changing
carbon dioxide in California, the
Pacific Institute said.
Robert Oglesby, executive
director of the state energy commission, said he didnt expect the
decline of hydro power and the
boost in gas-fired power to set
back Californias goal of generating 33 percent of electricity from
renewable energy by 2020. Thats
because large hydroelectric dams,
which are controversial because
they block natural river flows, are
not officially included with solar,
wind and other sources in

Californias renewable energy
equation.
Dams produced 12 percent of the
states electricity in 2013, the
most recent year for which figures
are available. Natural gas provided
61 percent. The numbers for
hydroelectric power will go down
for California in 2015 but not disappear, Oglesby said. That will
mean continued higher utility
bills for some.
For the areas of the state that
have been able to rely on inexpensive hydro, and then they have to
purchase more expensive energy
off the grid those costs are an
impact that will be passed along
over time, Oglesby said.
Hydroelectricity is even more
important for Californias northern neighbors, accounting for
more than 60 percent of
Washington states power and 45
percent of Oregons, state officials say.
While California is 14 months
into a statewide drought emergency,
the
governors
of
Washington and Oregon, where
snowpack is hovering at or near
record lows, recently declared
drought emergencies in sections
of their states.
Strong winter rain will make up
for poor snow totals when it
comes to hydro power in
Washington and Oregon, power
managers there said.
Were not anticipating that

were going to have any problem
meeting our obligation, said
Michael Hansen, spokesman for
the
Bonneville
Power
Administration, which serves utilities in Washington, Oregon,
Idaho and western Montana.
We serve the Northwest first,
he said. They get first dibs on
surplus power.
The federal nonprofit agency
can sell surplus power to utilities
in California and other Western
states, but it is required by law to
serve its customers first, Hansen
said.
Farms and cities

Around the West, dam operators
will be prioritizing customers,
placing water for farms and cities
ahead of water for power production.
At Lake Mead on the Colorado
River, the largest water reservoir
in the United States and a vital
water source for the Southwest and
Mexico, drought by May is
expected to nearly halve hydroelectric production compared with
mid-2014 levels.
Keeping drinking water running
from Las Vegas to Los Angeles,
and crops watered along the way,
would take priority over keeping
the lights on, officials of the
power office of the U.S. Bureau of
Reclamations Lower Colorado
division said in an email.
Starbucks baristas stop

writing Race Together
He echoed the company memo, saying of the Race Together initiative,

Were leaning into it hard.
Schultzs note to employees
acknowledged the skeptics as an anticipated part of the outreach.
While there has been criticism of
the initiative and I know this hasnt
been easy for any of you let me
assure you that we didnt expect universal praise, it read.
He said the campaign at its core aims
to make sure that the promise of the
American Dream should be available to
every person in this country, not just a
select few.
But the campaign didnt sit well with
some Starbucks customers. Many
voiced on social media and elsewhere
that they didnt want a debate with
their brew.
At a Starbucks in Pittsfield
Township, Michigan, near Ann Arbor,
two customers said on Sunday they didnt think a coffee shop was the right
place for race relations dialogue.
Ninette Musili, a junior biomolecular science major at the University of
Michigan, said the campaign seemed
to her like an insincere publicity stunt
that wasnt executed properly.
Like many who criticized Starbucks,
she goes to the shops either before
class or later in the day to study. At neither time does she want to discuss race
relations.
Most people come to Starbucks for

coffee, said Musili, who is 19 and
African-American. Race is an uncomfortable thing to bring up, especially
in a Starbucks.
She said such discussions are important, and that Starbucks should have
set aside time during the evenings for
race discussions and invited people to
attend.
Another
customer,
Shane
Mulholland, 46, of Ann Arbor, also
said Starbucks isnt the venue to talk
about race.
Theyre here for coffee. Theyre not
here to push their political agenda, he
said. I even contemplated not coming
here because of it.
He said Starbucks should remain neutral on such topics because its an
established brand, rather than risk
alienating customers. There are other
ways you can go about doing things to
stimulate interest in what youre
doing, said Mulholland, who is white
and runs an edible mushroom-growing
business. They must be doing so well
they dont have to worry about losing
customers over that, he said.
The campaign, he said, didnt start
any discussions about race with him.
Discussions about race are necessary, but getting a message about it on
a coffee cup is silly, Stephanie Nelson,
45, said at a Starbucks in Seattle, the
chains home.
THRILL RIDE
NEW YORK Starbucks baristas

will no longer write Race Together
on customers cups starting Sunday,
ending as planned a visible component of the companys diversity and
racial inequality campaign that had
sparked widespread criticism in the
week since it took effect.
The coffee chains initiative will
continue more broadly without the
handwritten messages, Starbucks
spokesman Jim Olson said.
The cups were always just the catalyst for a larger conversation, and
Starbucks will still hold forum discussions, co-produce special sections in
USA TODAY and put more stores in
minority communities as part of the
Race Together initiative, according to
a company memo from CEO Howard
Schultz said.
The campaign has been criticized as
opportunistic and inappropriate, coming in the wake of racially charged
events such as national protests over
police killings of black males. Others
questioned whether Starbucks workers
could spark productive conversations
about race while serving drinks.
The phase-out is not a reaction to
that pushback, Olson said. Nothing
is changing. Its all part of the cadence
of the timeline we originally
planned.

defender in front of the net and scored.
Obviously, there was a lot going on and
its easy to get distracted, Alashe said. But
none of us played into that whole thing. We
just focused on the game and got the result
that we needed.

Sequoia senior Tommy Lopiparo slides across the plate with the go-ahead run in the Cherokees 9-3 win over Aragon Saturday.
Sequoia reloaded
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Being tasked with replacing its entire

pitching staff from a season ago, Sequoia was
supposed to be enduring a rebuilding year.
Not the case.
With a 9-3 win over Aragon in Saturdays
nonleague matchup at Sequoias Bob
Anderson Field, the Cherokees (7-2 overall)
maintain the best overall record in the
Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division.
Sequoia right-hander Kyle Pruhsmeier
earned the win to improve to 2-2 on the season. And as a freshman, Pruhsmeier has
arrived as a fitting cornerstone arm for a

young Cherokees rotation.
Whereas last seasons 21-8-1 overall record
was shouldered exclusively by senior arms
a majority of which were logged by ace
starters Cameron Greenough and Kyle
Cambron the Cherokees have gotten just
four innings from senior pitching this season. Thus far, to build on the success that produced a 2014 PAL Ocean Division co-championship and a trip to the Central Coast Section
Division I semifinals, all of Sequoias starts
have been taken by non-seniors.
When you have two starting pitchers last
year and they would go complete games
every game, its a different aspect, Sequoia

catcher Zack Pace said. Its fun to see
everyone come out (this year) and be successful when they have the chance.
Pace impacted Saturdays win on both
sides of the ball. Behind the plate, the senior helped navigate Pruhsmeier through
Sequoias abysmal defense early on. The
Cherokees committed four errors in the second inning to see Aragon jump out to an
early 2-1 lead.
The Dons (5-4) left the bases loaded in the
second and again in the third after taking a 31 lead on an RBI single by Logan Williams.

March Madness bracket down to the Sweet 16

By Jim OConnell
Its the Sweet 16 the second week of the

NCAA Tournament and that means bragging rights for college basketball programs.
Check the cover of media guides or banners adorning arenas. They always start
with Sweet 16 appearances. No bragging
about the first weekend. Playing this week
means you had two good wins and you are
just two wins from the Final Four.
The story of the tournament has been

Kentuckys pursuit of a perfect season.
Everyones playing in that shadow. The
Wildcats improved to 36-0 the best start
to a season for any team and theyre trying for 40-0. That would be the first undefeated season by a national champion since
Indiana in 1976.
The East Region changed dramatically
entering the Sweet 16 with top seeds
Villanova and Virginia ousted. Its only the
eighth time that the top two teams from one
region failed to advance to the second week.

The last time that happened was in 2004.
The Atlantic Coast Conference and Pac-12
entered the round of 32 as the only leagues with
three or more teams not to lose a game.
Virginias loss to Michigan State was the
ACCs first after a 9-0 start. Oregon lost to topseeded Wisconsin dropping the Pac-12 to 7-1.
UCLAs run
The Bruins were the at-large team complained about the most on Selection Sunday.
Wins over SMU and UAB have the 11th-seeded Bruins in the Sweet 16 for the second
straight year, the first time they have done
that since reaching the Final Four in three
straight seasons between 2006 and 2008.
The selection committee thought we
were good enough to play in this tournament, and I think we proved it, forward
Tony Parker said.

As a sophomore with the frosh-soph

he was behind Ortiz. And this year, Im

This year, Pace has settled into a platoon

Weve got two really talented guys
behind the plate and they push each other,
Uhalde said. [Pace] has done a great job of

the two of them have become fast friends.
Now in his fifth season at the helm of the
Cherokees, Uhalde had only ever promoted
one freshman to start a season with the varsity squad previous to this season. That
came in his first year of 2011 with eventual

Its sort of a thing where I never think
Im going to bring freshmen up, Uhalde
said. Ive had one in five years before this.
And we came out and ended up with two guys
this year that I just said theyre varsity guys
right now.
Pruhsmeier has quickly proven varsity
ready. At the plate, the 6-3 freshman is batting .367 and is tied for second on the team

Royals down Giants split-squad

Eric Hosmer, Mike Moustakas and Alex
Rios each had two hits as the Kansas City
Royals defeated a San Francisco Giants split
squad 4-2 Sunday.
Giants left fielder Nori Aoki, who played
for the Royals last season, singled, doubled
and walked against his former teammates. It
was his second straight multihit game.
Brandon Crawford also had two hits, including an RBI double.
1. 47 ERA and 19 innings pitched,

Pruhsmeier has solidified the rotation with
16 2/3 innings pitched.
Hes going to be the face of the team
soon, Pace said. He always throws
strikes. He can hit his spots. He even has a
great bat, but when hes pitching he likes to
focus more on pitching. All his stuff he
throws with confidence and its really great
to watch him go out there and compete, even
when we have defense that always lacks for
him.
Defense nearly derailed Sequoias third
straight win.
In the first, the Cherokees jumped out to a
quick lead when Antonio Arellano drilled an
RBI double to left-center to score Matt
Lopez.
But in the top of the second, three straight
Dons reached via infield errors. Aragon
jumped out to a 3-2 lead on the fourth error
of the inning when a grounder off the bat of
Kyle Tanaka was mishandled to plate David
Hermann while loading the bases. But
Pruhsmeier buckled down, inducing a popup
before finishing the frame with one of his
three strikeouts on the day.
In the third, Aragon again loaded the
bases with one out but managed just one run.
The Dons stranded the bases loaded three
times in the game and left 13 runners on
throughout.
Were a little disappointed, Aragon
managed Lenny Souza said. It was a nice
points game (in the standings against a PAL
Bay Division team) for us, a good opportunity. I thought the first three innings went
really well for us but we left a lot of money
on the table in the first few innings.
Aragon starting pitcher Spenser Larsen
took the loss, though all four runs the
Cherokees scored during their comeback
rally in the third were unearned.
He did a really good job I thought,
Souza said. This is the best hes pitched.

13 in Los Angeles, and the thenNo. 9 Zags came away with an 8774 victory. Kyle Wiltjer scored 24
points and Byron Wesley added 20
points for Gonzaga.
Bryce Alford scored 23 points

UCLA.
Special K
When the coaches shake hands
before the Duke-Utah Sweet 16
game it will be between two men
with a lot in common.
Dukes Mike Krzyzewski and
Utahs Larry Krystkowiak probably lead the NCAA in name typos.
I dont know how many times
two Polish coaches will go against
one another, where both of us are
called Coach K, but hes a good
friend, Krzyzewski said of
Krystkowiak. I had him on my
Sirius XM show about a month ago
and, boy, he was really good, really good.
Old teams
Arizona coach Sean Miller will
face his former school, Xavier, in
the Sweet 16. Miller has taken the
second-seeded Wildcats to the
regional semifinals for the third
straight year.
Now, he will face the sixth-seeded Musketeers, whom he coached

from 2004-2009. Xavier reached
the Elite Eight in 2008 under
Miller and the Musketeers were in
the Sweet 16 the next year.
Chris Mack succeeded Miller at
Xavier when he left for Arizona.
As far as playing Sean, its really tough, Mack said. I recruited
all these guys that play for me. But
Sean gave me a heck of an opportunity to come back to my alma
mater. He put a lot of responsibility and trust in me. He ultimately
really pushed for me to become the
head coach, and for that Im eternally grateful. Its hard to play
against one of your best friends in
the business. But it really wont
matter to our guys, nor will it matter to Arizona, because they dont
know me from a bucket of paint.
Spartys party
Michigan State under Tom Izzo
has become as familiar in the
Sweet 16 as the guys in a school
band wearing enough face paint to
cover a garage.
The Spartans have reached the
regional semifinals for the seventh time in the last eight years.
They will face Oklahoma winner in
Syracuse, New York.
Izzo has a 13-1 record in games
in the round of 32. He was surprised a bit that this team won its
second game to move on.
Weve been a team all year that
has banged around, probably lost
more games than we should have
just because of the free throw situation or dumb coaching with 2, 3
seconds left to go in the game and
people hitting 3s and tying it,

Izzo said. But I think weve had to
earn every single thing weve gotten because every games been like
that. So I think they felt comfortable in a game because thats the
way not their whole tournament
has gone or the Big Ten
Tournament, their whole season
has gone that way. Im really proud
of this team. I dont use that word
lightly when I speak and I am.
Irish alive
For the first time in 12 years
Notre Dame is in the Sweet 16 and
the Fighting Irish moved on with
an overtime win over Butler. Steve
Vasturia had 20 points for the
third-seeded Irish, who face seventh-seeded Wichita State in the
Midwest Regional in Cleveland.
Its a great feeling. Were playing really well right now, Vasturia
said. We made big plays down the
stretch, and weve been doing that
all year, getting big defensive
stops, hitting shots. So its a great
feeling. Were playing with a lot of
confidence right now so we want to
keep it rolling.
Kentcukys chase
The top-ranked Wildcats showed
in the round of 32 why they are the
even-money favorite to win the
whole thing.
In their win over Cincinnati, the
Wildcats shot just 37 percent and
were outrebounded 45-38. There
really wasnt a point in the game
when Kentucky felt threatened
about its winning streak and the
64-51 win was the Wildcats 29th
of 36 by at least 10 points.

Lymans 3 hits pace CSM

Until Saturday, Makana Lyman
hadnt inhabited the No. 2 spot in
College of San Mateos starting
lineup since opening day. The
sophomore responded to his return
to the role by having a career day,
going 3 for 5 with an RBI and three
runs scored to pace the Bulldogs (73 in Coast Golden Gate, 15-8) to a
9-3 win at Chabot (3-7, 7-16).
Lyman got CSM on the board in
the first inning, sparking a four-run
rally with an RBI single to score
Draco Roberts.
Freshman designated
hitter
Isaac Feldstein
later homered in
the inning
his
second
bomb in three
games as the
Bulldogs gave
Makana Lyman starting pitcher
Sam Hellinger all the runs hed need
before he even climbed the bump.
Hellinger worked 7 1/3 innings,
surrendering three runs (one
earned) on 10 hits as the sophomore right-hander improved his
team-best record to 4-0. Left-handed workhorse Devin Mahoney
fired 1 2/3 innings of shutout ball
to close it out. The sophomore is
currently tied for second in the
Coast Golden Gate Conference
among relievers with 25 2/3
innings pitched.
Sophomore Tyler Carlson added
a two-run home run in the third.
With the win, the Bulldogs
remain deadlocked in second place
in a hotly contested Coast Golden
Gate. CSM is tied with De Anza,

while both drew to within a half

game of first-place Mission. De
Anza downed City College of San
Francisco 5-1 Saturday while
Mission fell to Cabrillo 7-4.
Skyline lefty goes distance

Freshman left-hander Kyle
Vallans fired an eight-hit shutout
Saturday to lead Skyline (5-5 in
Coast Pacific, 12-9 overall) past
Hartnell 4-0 at Trojan Diamond.
Vallans improves to 3-1, but
hadnt earned a victory in nearly a
month. The freshmans previous
start was the shortest of his
career. Previous to that, he took a
hard-luck complete-game loss
March 7 against Ohlone as the
Trojans fell 3-2.
After Skyline jumped ahead in
the first inning on a two-run double by Jarrod Hopper, Vallans ran
into the only real trouble hed face
all day in the second.
Hartnell (2-9, 4-18) led off the
frame with three straight singles,
but Vallans caught a break on the
third one when left-fielder Alex
Jenkins fired behind the lead runner
at third base for the first out of the
inning. The following batter lined
into a double play to end the inning.
Skyline added a pair of insurance
runs in the fifth. Matt Seubert produced a two-out RBI single to score
Michael Franco. Hopper later drew
a bases-loaded walk to force home
Nobu Suzuki.
Suzuki and Seubert were each 2
for 3 on the day. Suzuki currently
ranks fifth in the state with a .446
batting average.

It was kind of nice to be the

also spent two stints as coach of
the Earthquakes. Unfortunately,
we didnt get the win. But its a

attended the game and watched
from one of the field-level bunkers

viewpoint.
Were very pleased with what
they did here, Garber said.
Clearly, its a terrific environment and the fans are excited about
it. The league is excited about it.
San Jose did a soft opening of
the stadium in the preseason when

There were no limitations for the

Djokovic captures
Indian Wells title
INDIAN WELLS Novak Djokovic
defeated Roger Federer 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-2 to
win his fourth BNP Paribas Open on Sunday,
tying him with Federer for the most titles in
the desert after winning for the second
straight year.
The worlds top two mens players met for
the 38th time, second-most among rivalries
in the Open era. Federer leads the series 2018 and had won three of their last four meetings going into the final.
But Federer made too many mistakes at
crucial times, piling up 43 unforced errors to
35 for Djokovic. The Serb connected on 63
percent of his first serves, while Federers
serve let him down. He double-faulted to
trail 4-2 in the third as Djokovic won the
last four games of the match.
Federers serve had carried him earlier in
the tournament, when he faced just three
break points in his first five matches and he
saved two of those.
I was trying to really focus a lot on my
serve because it was very important because
he returns so well off the second serve,
Federer said. He really plays everybody
really tough when he returns off the second
serve, and I think thats what also was tough
today against him.
Djokovic also won in three sets last year.
He and Federer have combined to win eight
of the last 11 titles in the desert, and they
became the first two players to reach the
final in consecutive years since the tournament began 40 years ago.
Simona Halep beat Jelena Jankovic 2-6,
7-5, 6-4 in the womens final, giving the
Romanian the biggest title of her career and
a WTA Tour-leading third tournament victory of the year.

Mexicolucha libre wrestler dies in the ring

By Carlos Rodriguez
By Beth Harris
MEXICO CITY The son of a Mexican

wrestling legend died early Saturday from a
blow suffered in the ring, the Baja
California state prosecutors office said.
Pedro Aguayo Ramirez, known as Hijo del
Perro Aguayo, fell unconscious on the ropes,
apparently after receiving a flying kick from
fellow wrestler Oscar Gutierrez, known as
Rey Mysterio Jr., according to video of the
match in a municipal auditorium in Tijuana.
The match continued for almost two minutes before other participants and the referee realized Aguayo was seriously injured and
tended to him.
He was taken to a hospital a block away
and died about 1:30 a. m. , prosecutors
spokesman Raul Gutierrez said.
I have no words for this terrible news,
Joaquin Roldan, director of the AAA
wrestling federation, said through his
Twitter account. My sincerest condolences for the Aguayo Ramirez family.
The state prosecutors

office said the cause of
death, based on the
autopsy, was trauma to
the neck and a cervical
fracture. It has opened an
investigation into possible manslaughter.
The company that
Perro Aguayo reportedly organized the
event, The Crash, couldnt be reached for comment. The Tijuana
Boxing and Wrestling Commission called
the death an unfortunate accident like those
that occur in other high-risk sports.
Even though the match continued as
Aguayo hung listless on the ropes, commission President Juan Carlos Pelayo said people moved immediately to check his condition. He said the doctor in charge was not at
ringside because he was treating another
injured wrestler, but paramedics and a doctor
who was a spectator attended to Aguayo.
The reaction for medical attention was
quick, in my opinion, Pelayo said in a
news conference Saturday.

Mexico is famous for its colorful characters and costumes in professional wrestling,
popularly known as lucha libre, where
fighters perform daring aerial maneuvers
inside and outside the ring.
Aguayo, 35, had wrestled for 20 years and
was the son of the legendary Pedro Perro
Aguayo, now retired and a member of the
Aztec lucha hall of fame.
The younger Aguayo was also popular and
led a group called Los Perros de Mal, or
the bad dogs. He won numerous titles,
including national pairs with his father, a
national heavyweight championship and
the Consejo Mundial Lucha Libre world
trios championship.
It makes me very sad because he was a professional colleague and I have great affection
for his father, the wrestler Hijo del Santo
said in a telephone interview. I think the
fans in Japan, the U.S. and Mexico, of
course, where he was very popular, must be in
mourning, especially because of his youth.
He had much ahead of him.

Cal women eliminated in 73-70 heartbreaker to Texas

BERKELEY Between 6-foot-7 Imani

McGee-Stafford, Kelsey Lang at 6-5 and a
cast of scrappy guards jumping in the passing lanes and wreaking havoc, Texas did
everything on both ends of the floor to
return to the Sweet 16.
McGee-Stafford had 20 points and 11
rebounds while creating a daunting mismatch
inside, and fifth-seeded Texas advanced to the
programs first regional semifinals in 11

years with a 73-70 win against No. 4 seed
California on Sunday night.
Brooke McCarty scored twice on driving
layups down the stretch on the way to 16
points, and Texas pushed the pace to force Cal
into bad decisions.

Djokovic and Halep earned $900,400 each.
On his way to his 50th career ATP Tour title,
Djokovic broke Federer once to take the first set.
Federer rallied from a 3-1 deficit in the second set for
a 5-all tie. They traded love service games to get into
the tiebreaker, where Djokovic took a 5-3 lead.
Djokovic double-faulted twice in a row, setting up
Federers first break point. The Serbs backhand lob
sailed long, allowing Federer to tie the match at a set
apiece.
Federer then broke Djokovic for a 2-1 lead in a
game that went to deuce five times before Djokovic
netted a backhand. Federer was the clear favorite
among the crowd of 16,988, although chanting
Serbian fans at the top of the stadium made their presence known.
Now, theyre headed to the Albany

Regional and a potential date with two-time
defending champion Connecticut.
Cals Mercedes Jefflo scored with 1:30
remaining to cut the Texas lead to 64-60
before Lang answered on the other end.
Lang added 14 points as Texas (24-10)
took another impressive step under thirdyear coach Karen Aston.
Jefflo scored 22 points for Cal (24-10) on

Gray fouled out with 2:35 remaining and
Federer held serve for a 2-all tie before Djokovic

won the final four games of the match.
You miss a couple of shots which you shouldnt
and then maybe I didnt serve as good as I should
have, and then thats all Novak needs, Federer said.
Then he doesnt blink. Its pretty quick.
Halep improved to 6-0 in three-set matches this
year, smacking a cross-court forehand winner off
Jankovics weak volley return on match point. The
worlds third-ranked player advanced to the final
when Serena Williams withdrew before their semifinal because of a sprained right knee.
The first set was strange for me because I didnt
play for three days. Its really tough to go straight to
the finals, said Halep, who hadnt played since
Wednesday.
Halep continues her rise in the sport, having broken into the top 10 a year ago and being a finalist at
the French Open and semifinalist at Wimbledon last
year. The 23-year-old Romanian reached the quarterfinals at the Australian Open in January.
I have another title, my biggest title now, so its
amazing, she said.
Jankovic won her biggest career title at
Indian Wells in 2010. She was seeking her first
tournament victory since 2013 at Bogota, but
she couldnt hold a lead. She was up a set and a
break in the second only to have Halep win two
straight games and tie it 3-all.
Jankovic broke for a 5-4 lead on a smash and
then was two points from victory on her serve in
the next game, but Halep won the final three
games of the set.
At the end of the second set I got a little bit
nervous, Jankovic said. I got a little bit tentative and that was my big mistake.
Both players struggled to hold serve in the
third set, when there were seven breaks. The 2
1/2-hour match had 18 service breaks in all.
I dont know how I won today because I didnt play my best, Halep said.
Halep had a trainer work on her feet to start
the second set. At times, she bent over and rested on court.
seven points in her final collegiate game.

Bears point guard Brittany Boyd had 17
points, 10 assists and nine rebounds, just

Insurgent seizes top spot; The Gunman misfires

By Lindsey Bahr
LOS ANGELES Sean Penns The

Gunman was no match for the rebel kids of
Insurgent.
The second installment in the
Divergent series easily topped the box
ofce with $54 million from 3,875 theaters, according Rentrak estimates Sunday.
Penns geopolitical thriller stumbled with
only $5 million.
While the second lms in both the
Hunger Games and the Twilight series
boasted opening weekend gains over the
rst, Insurgents opening nearly matches
that of its predecessor, Divergent, which
debuted to $54.6 million just last year.
Many predicted a bit of growth for this
second lm, which sees the return of stars
Shailene Woodley, Theo James, and Kate
eres a tale of two friends who

contacted me for dog adoption
advice. One said, I want a second
dog and dont care about the breed, size
(not tiny or huge), male or female, or age,
Winslet to author Veronica Roths dystopian world. But, both distributor Lionsgate
and box ofce analysts see the consistency
as a good thing.
Were extremely pleased with the outcome, said Lionsgates President of
Domestic Distribution Richie Fay.
I think this is exactly where we thought
wed be, he added. We attracted a few more
males this time around, and I think were
headed in the right direction. The uptick
from Friday to Saturday was considerably
higher than it was for Divergent. That, the
A- CinemaScore and whats coming into the
marketplace will allow us to grow very nicely.
According to Lionsgate, 60 percent of
audiences were female.
Rentraks Senior Media Analyst Paul
Dergarabedian credits Lionsgates consistent release date strategy and impressive
marketing campaign for the strong repeat

performance.
Its really about driving a very ckle
though I dont want a really old dog with

medical issues can you recommend a
dog whos been getting passed over? The
second friend said this: Were looking
forward to welcoming a dog as a beloved
member of our family. Were realistic
about and committed to the time, training
and care required and know that changes in
our daily routine will need to be made
we are looking for a fair amount of predictability in terms of temperament, exercise requirement, trainability and family
friendliness. Here are our ideal preferences: puppy (up to 1 year old is ne);
mellow and friendly temperament; wonderful with kids and calm in an active household; friendly but not high energy; moder-
ate exercise needed; medium to large (on

the smallish side of large) dog; low shedder; short hair, although longer hair ne
as long as low shedder; easy to train. Can
you guess who found a dog rst? Does
either person come across as a better
adopter and dog owner? I sent friend A a
photo of a male, copper-colored Italian
greyhound/terrier mix that I thought
might get passed over at PHS/SPCA
because he was seven. Friend A, her
boyfriend and their dog met and adopted
Kona the next day and are over the moon
with him, as he is with them. Friend B
is still waiting. They know their search
might take several months. Ive encouraged them to think about their list in

HISTORY
The ordeal of getting to San Francisco
was no longer so difficult. The Mission
Road was almost impassable in the winter
due to the gumbo-texture of the road bed.
The train became a more dependent means of
getting the farm products of the area to the
San Francisco market.
In 1894, Joseph Uccelli emigrated from
Italy and settled on former Lux-Miller
Ranch property along Grand Avenue and
Oak. At first, he leased the property from
the Lux heirs but due to his thrift and hard

enough money to purchase a plot of land.
In 1903, the #40 Trolley Line was built
along Mission Road. A stop, Liepsic
Junction, was built close to the 12-Mile
House. This increased options for transporting the violets to the downtown market
to sell. In 1907, Uccelli was able to convince his nephew Peter to come to the
United States and farm some land by his
plot. Later two other nephews, Guissepi,
and then Giovini, immigrated to the area
and began growing vegetables zucchini,
beans and potatoes. Lettuce was tried later
and proved successful.

The Old Red Barn that had been a part of the

Bustos, 31, said he made the decision to
pursue a career in medicine after caring for
his mother and grandmother. He said joining the program has helped broaden his
horizons and expand his perspective on
what hes capable of accomplishing in the
workforce.
It has given me a new lease on life, he
said.
Juan Cornejo, a fellow student in the program, echoed those sentiments.
This program really changed my life, he
said.
Cornejo said he appreciates the technical
discipline that the program helps develop,
as well as the critical thinking that teachers
encourage, because that can lay the groundwork for pursuing management positions
after graduating.
Skyline was one of 34 schools that
applied to join the pilot program, which is
TEST
Nancy Magee, spokeswoman for the
county Ofce of Education, said the
Smarter Balanced assessments test students on real world problem-solving
techniques.
The test is moving away from ve
possible right answers, to critical
solutions and critical thinking about
how did students get to their answer,
she said.
Smarter Balanced assessments were
eld tested last year, and are conducted
on a computer, moving away from the
pencil and paper method that STAR
tests have employed for years.
The students are really having to
think differently, because this hasnt
been the way theyve taken tests,
Magee said.
Local students who took the new
assessment last year said they had to
adjust the way they think while taking
tests, she said.

Capital improvements for the project are expected to cost about $8.3

These are members of the community who have given a lot to the city.
Without this sort of housing, they
part of a larger state effort to make baccalaureate degrees more accessible.

Raymond Hernandez, dean of the schools
science, math and technology division,
said he believes the program is a perfect t
to be the colleges rst four-year degree.
Respiratory therapy is well positioned
for the pilot program, he said.
Hernandez, who has a background in practicing respiratory care, said he believes
offering baccalaureate degrees dovetails
into the community college systems mission, which is to offer higher education,
that can be easily transferred elsewhere,
while also developing the work force.
He noted the threshold for nding entry
level work in respiratory therapy is shifting
toward requiring a baccalaureate degree, a
step up from an associate of science degree,
so the colleges decision is in line with prerequisites for students trying to nd a job in
the medical eld.
Hernandez said he expects roughly 25 students will be part of the inaugural class next
fall, but is not sure how the demographics
of the class will be divided.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
He said he anticipates some members of

the class to be students who recently graduated with associate of science degrees, and
others to be health care professionals who
have been in the workforce but want to further their professional development.
We dont know what it will look like
yet, he said. But we are ready to get to
work.
The state boards approval requires the
selected community colleges to admit students into degree programs by 2017, but
Skyline College President Regina Stanback
Stroud has said the school will be prepared
next fall to admit 25 students next year,
another 25 in the subsequent year and eventually as many as 50 students per class.
She said the school is ready to hit the
ground running because of the legwork it did
in advance of the state board approving the
degree program.
Stanback Stroud said she is proud of the
respiratory therapy program at Skyline, as
it will improve the chances for local students to graduate with an affordable baccalaureate degree.
The response from students on the

actual test was wow, that was kind of
hard. It is a different kind of rigor and
moving kids away from the thought
that they are driving themselves for
the right answer, and focusing more
on thinking through the information, she said.
Magee said the students should be
quicker to adjust to the testing program, as they become more familiar
with Common Core standards, which
focus more on the use of technology
in the classroom and projects.
Waddell said some school districts
in the county may have already begun
testing, but was unsure of how many
districts have nished.
Schools in San Mateo County will
have until May 29 to complete the
new tests, and scores will be available
shortly after, according to a report
from the county Ofce of Education.
The scores from the test this year
will set the benchmark for achievement, and future scores will be compared to the results.
State
Superintendent
Tom
Torlakson, in a prepared statement,
warned that the new test scores should

not be compared against scores from
the STAR exam.
The new tests are too different from
the old exams to make reliable comparisons between old scores and new,
Torlakson said. This years test
results will establish a baseline for the
progress we expect students to make
over time.
Magee said local districts last year
were largely successful in rolling out
the new tests, and implementing the
technology required to conduct them.
The technology wasnt necessarily
as complicated as we thought it may
have been, she said. Districts did
pretty well sorting through their technological issues.
Waddell said he believed that though
there may be adjustments necessary to
get students and schools familiar with
the tests, the new assessments will be
a superior method of gauging a students knowledge.
I think while well have to adjust to
it, but it is really a positive and in the
long term it is a real plus for students,
he said.
couldnt remain in the community,

San Mateo Councilman David Lim said
about the individuals who live there.
The city will actually earn about
$35,000 a year for the next ve years
under the deal.
The apartment complex was constructed under inclusionary rules when
a developer constructed a 416-unit
market rate condominium complex in
the former Shoreline Redevelopment
Area.
The states affordable housing credits, valued at $319 million, provide a
4 percent tax incentive to potential
investors who may help to nance the

housing developments.
The $295 million of tax-exempt
bonds awarded will allow affordable
housing construction to be nanced at
below-market interest rates.
Currently, more than 34 percent of
working renters pay more than 50 percent of their income toward housing,
and the State Department of Housing
and Community Development estimates that California needs to build
220,000 new homes a year to keep up
with population growth, according to
Chiangs Ofce.
The impact it can have on this community is amazing, she said.

She said she has heard nothing but enthusiasm regarding the new degree program.
The community is really, really excited,
she said.
Other baccalaureate degrees approved to
be offered at other community colleges
include disciplines such as airframe manufacturing technology, industrial automation, mortuary science, equine industry,
dental hygiene, health information management, and more.
Community college students enrolled in
the bachelors degree program will not be
allowed to pursue degrees in courses already
offered by the California State University or
University of California systems.
Foothill College, in Los Altos Hills, will
also offer a dental hygiene baccalaureate
degree as part of the pilot program.
The pilot program will end after the 202223 school year, in time for students enrolled
to graduate with their degrees, at which
point legislators may renew it, pending
review.

Is Surgery the Answer?

It is true that surgery may be the answer for certain types of back injuries.
When considering your options, ask yourself this question ...If there is a
solution to back pain that doesnt require surgery, is it worth exploring?
Before you consider surgery consider these points

The Solution: The DRT Method, (Disc Restoration Therapy)

The DRT Method is a 5 Step S.P.I.N.E. approach to healing & restoring
function to bulging and degenerative discs.
Spinal Decompression, Physiotherapy, Inter-Segmental Mobilization, Nutritional
Support, Exercise Rehabilitation.
The DRT Method allows for a much higher success rate by increasing hydration
and restoring health to your discs. This results in a more effective and lasting
solution to your pain. There are no side effects and no recovery time is required.
This gentle and relaxing treatment has proven to be effective... even when drugs,
epidurals, traditional chiropractic, physical therapy and surgery have failed....
Disc Restoration Therapy has shown dramatic results.
Who is a Candidate for Disc Restoration Therapy

Disc Restoration Therapy has been found to relieve the pain associated with disc
degeneration, herniated and bulging disc, facet syndrome and sciatica. It is our
opinion that patients should exhaust all non surgical/non-invasive treatments rst
before considering surgery.
Why Bay Area Disc Centers?

Dr. Thomas Ferrigno, DC and his team have vast experience in treating
patients suffering from moderate to severe disc disease.
Dr. Thomas Ferrigno, DC is Certied by and is also part of the Disc
Centers of America Team who are a national group of doctors that
have gone through extensive training that follow the protocols set up
by The International Medical Advisory Board on Spinal Decompression, and follows the protocols set forward by Dr. Norman Shealy the
Honorary Chairman, former Harvard professor, and probably the most
published doctor in the world on spinal decompression therapy.
