Belmont leaders renegotiate contracts

City manager, city attorney see first raises in years
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Greg Scoles

After several years of turning down

raises alongside the economic downturn, the Belmont City Council rewarded two of its primary staff members by
renegotiating employment contracts

for City Manager Greg Scoles and City

Attorney Scott Rennie.
Scoles, who was hired in July 2010,
and Rennie, who was hired in
September 2011 will both see raises
for the first time in years.
Councilmen Charles Stone and
Warren Lieberman served on a subcom-

mittee that negotiated the changes

approved by the council last week.
Belmont is incredibly fortunate to
have both of these individuals providing the kind of leadership and experience they both offer. They really are
truly outstanding as far as capabilities
go. Over the last few years, when the

economy wasnt in great shape, the

city was trying to make sure its
finances were in good shape and order.
We were asking for certain concessions from the various labor groups.
Both Scott and Greg truly were highly
focused on leading by example,
Lieberman said.

Device helps blind ID money Public gets glimpse

Design Tech students in Millbrae make wearable tech
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A group of students at Design

Tech High School in Millbrae used
innovative curriculum and collaborative learning opportunities to
develop a piece of wearable technology that aids the visually
impaired.
Savannah Summers, Jwanna
Yaqub and Amaya Santana, freshmen at d.tech, built an arm band
that can sense the denomination
of paper currency, to protect blind
people from being scammed.
The project is the product of a
collaboration between d.tech and
Oracle Education Foundation,
designed to engage female stu-

dents in technology and engineering.

The team of students said the
scanning band was inspired by a
member of Summers family who
is blind and struggles with sorting
bills.
We decided that we wanted to
make a product that can help people, said Summers.
The band features a sensor that
can detect the color difference
between $1 and $5 bills when
money is run across its surface,
and then plays a tune declaring to
its user the value.
Based on the success of the initial project design, Oracle has said
it would be willing to fund the
team building a more complete

version of the product, said

Summers.
Yaqub said the experience has
broadened her horizons regarding
what she might be capable of
through innovation and design.
It makes me really curious, I
dont know what to expect, she
said. I created something to really help.
Summers agreed, and said the
project could be the beginning of
their budding career as entrepreneurs.
Who knows, maybe well be
successful, she said.

Bond measure eyed to purchase open space
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The public got a glimpse of one

of the last undeveloped residential
areas in San Carlos being considered for purchase by the city to
preserve as open space or park
land.
The nearly 25 acres of property
located on Alameda de las Pulgas
between Madera Avenue and
Melendy Drive is the former home
of the Black Mountain Spring
Water site.
City officials are seeking input
from the public whether to seek a

voter-approved bond measure to

buy the 11.3-acre Black Mountain
property, 7.3-acre Rollieri property and 4.9-acre Vista Del Grande
property.
Currently, only the Black
Mountain property is on the market for sale with an asking price of
about $18 million but the city is
prepared to negotiate with the
other two property owners to purchase the remaining property if
the public approves a bond measure.

an Francisco was the main driving

late 1840s and 50s. Gold had

of people seeking shelter, food, protection

It was a time of chaos. The establishment
of a new state in 1850 did little to alleviate
the strain of overcrowding, inadequate housing and lack of organized direction of the
city. The gamblers, thieves, thrill seekers
and opportunists became rampant. It was no
place for good, law-abiding citizens.
Vigilante committees were not the answer to
crime as a vigilante group was, in essence, a
group making up its own laws as things
developed. Many people wanted stability,
law and a good place to live. But how was
this to be straightened out for the few thousand citizens who lived south of the mainstream of activity in San Francisco? At this
time, three centers of organization and people were concentrated in the area south of
San Francisco: Daly Citys Top of the Hill,
Belmont and the area around which the population was concentrated at Woodside,

Almonds get roasted in debate over water

By Ellen Knickmeyer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO California

almonds are becoming one of the
worlds favorite snacks and creating a multibillion-dollar bonanza
for agricultural investors. But the
crop extracts a staggering price
from the land, consuming more
water than all the showering, dishwashing and other indoor household water use of Californias 39
million people.
As California enters its fourth
year of drought and imposes the
first mandatory statewide water
cutbacks on cities and towns, the
$6.5 billion almond crop is helping drive a sharp debate about
water use, agricultural interests
and how both affect the states
giant economy.
Almonds have claimed the spotlight as the poster child of all
things bad in water, almond
grower Bob Weimer said.
People around the world are eating over 1, 000 percent more
California almonds than they did
just a decade ago, and last year
almonds became the top export
crop in the nations top agriculture state. Chinas booming mid-

dle class is driving much of the

demand.
That strong Asia market is producing up to 30 percent returns for
investors, prompting agri-businesses to expand almond planting
in the state by two-thirds in the
past decade. The crop has come to
be dominated by global corporations and investment funds.

1 million acres
Rows of almond trees now cover
nearly 1 million acres in
California, many of them on previously virgin hillsides or in pastures or desert with little rain or
local water. Since each tiny nut
requires a gallon of water, almonds
are consuming 1.07 trillion gallons annually in the state, onefifth more than California families use indoors.

So when Gov. Jerry Brown

ordered cities and towns this
month to cut their water consumption by 25 percent but exempted
farms, almonds got toasted in the
public heat that followed.
Drought villains? the Los
Angeles Times asked this month.
A Sacramento TV station referred
to almond-shaming. National
Public Radio called almond farms
a rogues gallery of water users.
Now almond farmers and
investors are on the defensive.
The tomato growers use a lot
more water than we do. You should
go after those guys, said Ryon
Paton, a global real-estate developer and principal of Trinitas
Partners.
Patons online literature tells
investors to think of his newly
planted almond orchards in
Stanislaus County as the classic
Silicon Valley startup, except we
have nothing to do with technology.
He regularly has to deny rumors
including from fellow almond
farmers that celebrities such as
Oprah Winfrey and Condoleezza
Rice are among the investors
drawn to his almond fund.
California growers provide 80

percent of the global supply of

almonds. In China, where the
number of middle-class households has doubled since 2006,
consumers see almonds as a
healthy snack and regard American
food in general as less contaminated than products from elsewhere.

Popular in China
California almonds are a popular
bagged treat in Chinas convenience stores and supermarkets and
a must-have item in holiday gift
baskets.
As big a global money-maker as
Californias
agriculture
is,
though, its little more than a blip
in the states economy. And thats
driving the debate on water use.
In all, agriculture uses 80 percent of the water that Californians
draw from groundwater and surface
supplies but produces just 1.5 percent of the states gross domestic
product,
noted Christopher
Thornberg, an economist who has
served as an economic adviser to
state agencies.
Other top almond producers
include Stewart and Lynda Resnik,
the politically influential Beverly
Hills billionaires behind Fiji bot-

tled water, Pom pomegranate juice

and a Central Valley almond and
pistachio operation that they say
is one of the worlds largest.
The TIAA-CREF retirement fund
also boasts of its California
almond operation as one of the
worlds biggest.
Smaller almond farmers view the
newer, bigger almond investors
skeptically.
They shouldnt be growing
almonds or walnuts in those
areas, including parts of the state
that are naturally too dry and too
cold for almond trees, said Paul
Wenger, head of the state Farm
Bureau and an almond and walnut
grower on land near Modesto
thats been in his family for a century.
Almonds arent even the biggest
sponges when it comes to waterthirsty crops in semi-arid
California that would be the
states million acres of alfalfa,
which go to feed livestock.
Unlike the row crops theyre
displacing, the new almond trees
require water year round.
The big almond growers are

Delta smelt survey turns up only one fish

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Californias drought

appears to be taking a toll on a threatened
sh species.
State ofcials found one delta smelt during a survey earlier this month of 40 sites
in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, The
Record of Stockton reported over the weekend. The survey by the state Department of
Fish and Wildlife typically turns up dozens
of smelt, and found 143 three years ago. It
was conducted over four days.
The nger-long shs numbers, which
have been in decline, are considered a measure of conditions in the delta. Experts say

this years results were sad but not unexpected.

Less water in the delta because of the
states ongoing drought creates saltier conditions. Delta smelt prefer fresher water to
breed, and to nd it, they tend to move farther east into areas where they are more
likely to be killed by predators or water
pumps or become exposed to pollution, The
Record reported.
The main hope now for the smelt is that
some of these remaining sh spawned successfully and the young will survive for a
year despite unfavorable conditions, Peter
Moyle, an expert on Californias native
sh, told The Record.

The smelt has been the subject of numerous lawsuits over water distribution from
the delta. Ofcials and water contractors say
a proposed $25 billion twin-tunnel water
project would reverse the decline of smelt
and salmon by taking water in the north of
the delta, on the Sacramento River. That

would prevent the sh from traveling

toward and getting caught up in the pumps
in the south as they do today, they say.
Some environmentalists and delta
activists counter the project will lead to further sh declines by syphoning even more
water out of the estuary.

Truth About Deceptive

Cremation Practices
By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE

(This was first

published in 2010,
but its currently
needed again with
updated details)
Attacks from a
number of out of
state cremation corporations have been
waged upon our local and well respected
mortuaries. By now many of you reading
this article have been targeted by the flood
of junk advertising being spread across the
Peninsula & Bay Area by these cremation
outfits that use deceptive language to spread
their misleading message. Its no secret that
societies such as the Trident-Neptune
Corporation are using scare tactics to sway
consumers when they are most vulnerable.
Their mailings, which are many times
disguised as friendly notes, use falsehoods
to imply that their business practice just
makes sense or is much less expensive
luring in unsuspecting consumers. Their
shrewdly worded letters which use
implications such as fancy and expensive
funeral home, falling victim to pressure to
overspend, spending your familys
inheritance or up-selling are crafted to
imply some sort of dishonesty. Also, an
alluring enticement to WIN is flaunted
with tempting instructions to include your
phone number & key personal data.
The truth is that these societies are no
more than wealthy competitors to your
locally owned mortuary, and their costs are
not only comparable, but many times
MORE expensive than what your local
mortuary offers. Ive had families come to
me at the Chapel of the Highlands with
stories of being seduced by certain

cremation societies with talk of lower

costs and other persuasive language. Tales
of unimpressive staff and meetings in
bunker-like facilities are common. After
comparing local mortuaries & cremation
costs it was discovered that a mortuarys
total balance can be similar or even LOWER
than these societies.
Families have
realized that it would have been much more
comforting if they had called the Chapel of
the Highlands first. Our Chapel is well
experienced and has been highly regarded
for assisting families with low cost
cremations decades before cremation-only
corporations ever existed. We are also a full
service facility offering our Chapel for
Memorial Services if desired.
My advice if you ever wish to
investigate cremation:
Do your homework and call your locally
owned mortuary first to compare costs
along with reports on good reputation;
Dont let cremation societies message
of being much less expensive or offers
to WIN fool you;
Dont turn over your phone # or personal
info to un-requested cremation solicitors;
If you must use a cremation society
find out where they are headquartered
and about any prior or active lawsuits.
Thank you for reading my rebuttal. It
bothers me that these societies are openly
using misleading language and making
blanket implications about mortuaries.
Their tactics are unwarranted and my only
desire is for the truth to be known.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funerals or make pre-planning arrangements
please feel free to call me and my staff at the
CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS in
Millbrae at (650) 588-5116. We will guide
you in a fair and helpful manner. You may

Researcher denied flight after tweet

By Jack Gillum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON
United
Airlines stopped a prominent
security researcher from boarding
a California-bound flight late
Saturday, following a social media
post by the researcher days earlier
suggesting the airlines onboard
systems could be hacked.
The researcher, Chris Roberts,
attempted to board a United flight
from Colorado to San Francisco to
speak at a major security conference there this week, but was
stopped by the airlines corporate
security at the gate. Roberts
founded One World Labs, which
tries to discover security risks

before they are exploited.

Roberts had been removed from
an earlier United flight Wednesday
by the FBI after landing in
Syracuse, New York, and was questioned for four hours after jokingly suggesting on Twitter he could
get the oxygen masks on the
plane to deploy. Authorities also
seized Roberts laptop and other
electronics, although his lawyer
says he hasnt seen a search warrant.
A lawyer for Roberts said United
gave him no detailed explanation
Saturday why he wasnt allowed on
the plane, saying instead the airline would be sending Roberts a
letter within two weeks stating
why they wouldnt let him fly on

their aircraft.
Given Mr. Roberts claims
regarding manipulating aircraft
systems, weve decided its in the
best interest of our customers and
crew members that he not be
allowed to fly United, airline
spokesman Rahsaan Johnson told
the Associated Press. However,
we are confident our flight control
systems could not be accessed
through techniques he described.
Johnson did not respond to a
follow-up question Sunday why
Roberts would still be a threat if
he couldnt, in fact, compromise
Uniteds control systems.
In recent weeks, Roberts gave
media interviews in which he discussed airline system vulnerabili-

Seal pup abducted from beach

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Whoever

snatched a seal or sea lion pup
from a Los Angeles beach early
Sunday should not confuse the animals cuteness with its potentially
vicious bite, according to an animal rescue expert.
Witnesses to the abduction said
four people wrapped the pup in a
blanket and left in a car around
3:20 a.m. from Dockweiler State
Beach, just west of the citys international airport, said Los Angeles

Police Officer Rosario Herrera.

The initial police report said the
animal was a small seal. But a
companion pup that escaped and
was later found on the beach is a
sea lion, according to Peter
Wallerstein, the president of the
group Marine Animal Rescue.
The rescued pup weighs about 25
pounds and is probably 10 months
old, said Wallerstein, who stays in
a trailer at the beach and was
woken by security guards seeking
his help. Sea lions of this size are
really small, really look cute, but

theyre dangerous, he said.

These are wild animals.
Theyre also not fit to be kept as
pets.
The animal needs fluids, needs
special treatments, he said. You
cant just feed it dog food. Its not
going to work.
Los Angeles police said an
investigation was being conducted
by the federal National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration.
A spokesman for the agency did
not return phone messages or an
email Sunday.

Report: Hostile workplace at university Alzheimers center

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES An investigation found that female faculty at

the Alzheimers disease research
center at the University of
California, Los Angeles, worked
under hostile conditions, according to a newspaper report.
In a letter to research center
staff, a UCLA administrator wrote
that an outside investigator concluded some men discriminated
against three women, including
retaliation for reporting problems
with research protocol. The work
environment at the center that
specializes in the neurological

disorder
compromises
our
research, teaching and patient
care, wrote Jonathan Hiatt, vice
dean for faculty at the university,
the Los Angeles Times reported.
The letter, written in March, also
said administrators did not properly
respond to past complaints of discrimination. The letter identified
neither the women nor the men
whom the investigator concluded
had violated campus rules.
The investigative report was
finished in October. It said that for
about a decade the center had a climate of conflict, tension, hostility and mistrust and the women
were treated in an unprofessional,

demeaning manner, the newspaper reported. The center is part of

UCLAs David Geffen School of
Medicine.
A medical school spokeswoman
said the letter involved personnel
matters, so she could not comment
beyond saying that the university
opposes any workplace discrimination.
The letter was intended as an
internal
communication
to
describe the measures taken by the
university in response to serious
concerns brought forward in good
faith by female members of the
faculty, spokeswoman Dale Tate
wrote in a statement.

ties. Quite simply put, we can

theorize on how to turn the
engines off at 35,000 feet and not
have any of those damn flashing
lights go off in the cockpit, he
told Fox News.
Roberts also told CNN he was
able to connect to a box under his
seat at least a dozen times to view
data from the aircrafts engines,
fuel and flight-management systems.
It is disappointing that United
refused to allow him to board, and
we hope that United learns that
computer security researchers are a
vital ally, not a threat, said Nate
Cardozo, a staff attorney with the
San Francisco-based Electronic
Frontier Foundation, which repre-

sents Roberts.
Cardozo said Sunday he hasnt
seen a copy of a search warrant
that would have been used to seize
Roberts electronics, and that hes
working to get the devices
returned.
The FBI declined to comment on
the matter Sunday.
The Government Accountability
Office said last week that some
commercial aircraft may be vulnerable to hacking over their
onboard wireless networks.
Modern aircraft are increasingly
connected to the Internet. This
interconnectedness can potentially provide unauthorized remote
access to aircraft avionics systems, its report found.

Utility contends no
leaks found in gas
line that exploded
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FRESNO A gas pipeline that

exploded at a sheriffs gun range in
Central California had been
inspected twice in April for gas
leaks, and no leaks were found,
Pacific Gas & Electric Co. said
Sunday.
PG&E said its crews did a ground
survey of the pipe on April 1 and
an aerial survey on April 16.
Authorities say Fridays explosion at the Fresno County
Sheriffs gun range occurred while
a county employee was using a
front-loader to build a dirt berm to
confine gunfire to the range. The
California
Public
Utilities
Commission is investigating the
explosion in cooperation with the
federal Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration,
but PG&E says it appears a vehicle
damaged the 12-inch pipeline.
The utility detected a drop in
pressure in the line seven minutes
before it received a report of the
explosion, it said.
The blast sent 11 people to the
hospital, four of them with critical
injuries, and shut down a nearby

highway and rail line, as it created

a tower of flames.
PG&Es natural-gas operations
have been under scrutiny since a
fiery 2010 PG&E pipeline blast
killed eight people in San Bruno.
National Transportation Safety
Board investigators blamed faulty
safety practices by PG&E and lax
oversight by state regulators for
the blast.
PG&E has previously said the
pipeline in Fridays incident was
surveyed in 2013, and there was
about 40 inches of cover between
the pipe and the surface in accordance with PG&E standards and
federal code. The land, however,
had been under constant construction in recent months, Fresno
County Sheriffs spokesman Tony
Botti said.
PG&E also says it was not notified in advance of any work in the
area. Such advance notice allows
PG&E to map any gas lines. In
this case, the line had been marked
earlier with two signs that were
about 100 feet in each direction
from where the county employee
was working, PG&E spokesman
Greg Snapper said.

Empty chairs honor victims of OKC bombing

By Tim Talley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OKLAHOMA CITY Every day

when Dr. Rosslyn Biggs goes to
work as a federal government veterinarian she is reminded of her
mother, one of 168 people killed
in the Oklahoma City bombing
and honored Sunday on the 20th
anniversary of the deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil until Sept.
11, 2001.
Biggs has the same job once
held by her mother, Dr. Margaret
L. Peggy Clark, as a food safety
veterinarian
at
the
U. S.
Department of Agriculture. She
interacts often with some of the
people who worked with and recall
her mothers professionalism.
I remember her spirit and her
dedication, Biggs said as she and
other family members gathered
around an empty chair adorned
with flowers in a field of empty
chairs designed to memorialize

the victims of the April 19, 1995

bombing.
Its wonderful to see that people still remember and still care,
Biggs said.
Former President Bill Clinton,
who was president when the attack
occurred, spoke at Sundays service at the Oklahoma City National
Memorial & Museum, where the
Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building
once stood. Memorial officials
estimated that 2, 500 people
attended the observance.
Oklahoma City, you have chosen well, Clinton said. For 20
years you have honored the memories of your loved ones. You have
inspired us with the power of
renewal.
Clinton said the city has recovered from the terrorist attack in
the face of mad, crazy people who
think that differences are all that
matter.
The whole world needs you
now, the former president said in

attacks that have occurred around
the world.
The service started with a 168second moment of silence to
honor each of those who died. It
concluded about 90 minutes later
with survivors and tearful relatives of the dead reading the names
of those killed.
This was a place of unspeakable horror and tragedy, said
Frank Keating, who completed his
first 100 days as Oklahomas governor the day before the attack.
How some evil individual would
do what he did ... is unforgiveable
and absolutely unimaginable.
The agony was consistent. The
agony appeared never to end,
Keating said.
After the service, LaDonna
Battle and her family were standing between two of the 168 metal
and glass chairs that now stand as
a testament to those who were
killed.

The two chairs were inscribed

with the names of her parents,
Calvin and Peola Battle, who were
arranging to receive Social
Security benefits when the bomb
detonated.
Were completing a journey
with steel hearts. Were rebuilding
our lives. LaDonna Battle said.

Sperm bank sued after

donors name revealed
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTA He was good on paper:

Eloquent, mature, healthy and smart to
boot.
Thats why Angela Collins and Margaret
Elizabeth Hanson say they chose Donor
9623 to be the biological father of their
child.
Then last June, almost seven years after
Collins gave birth to a son conceived with
his sperm, they got a batch of emails from
the sperm bank that unexpectedly and
perhaps mistakenly included the donors
name. That set them on a sleuthing mission
that quickly revealed he is schizophrenic,
dropped out of college and had been arrested
for burglary, they said in a lawsuit filed
March 31 in Atlanta.
On top of that, the photo of him theyd
seen when deciding on a donor had been
altered to remove a large mole on his cheek,
the suit says.
Collins and Hanson said the Atlanta
sperm bank promoted the donors sperm,
saying it came from a man with an IQ of
160, an undergraduate degree in neuroscience and a masters degree in artificial
intelligence, who was pursuing a Ph.D. in
neuroscience engineering. He was eloquent,
mature beyond his years and had an
impressive health history, sperm bank
staff told them, according to the lawsuit.

They represented him, both orally and in

their donor literature, to be the best of the
best, a lawyer for the pair, Nancy Hersh,
told The Associated Press.
The women, who live in Ontario, Canada,
sued Xytex Corp. , its parent company,
sperm bank employees and the man they
say was the misrepresented donor the
biological father of at least three dozen
children, according to the lawsuit.
The AP was unable to find a phone number
for Collins and Hanson, and Hersh declined
to make them available for an interview. A
message left at a number matching the
donors name was not returned.
The AP is not identifying the donor
because it was unable to verify all of the
claims in the lawsuit.
James Johnson, a lawyer for the donor,
said they are trying to get the lawsuit dismissed and declined to comment further.
A Xytex spokeswoman referred the AP to
an open letter company President Kevin
OBrien posted on the companys website
in which he wrote the couples claims do
not reflect the representations provided to
Xytex.
The donor had a standard medical exam,
provided extensive personal information,
said he had no physical or medical impairments and provided photos of himself and
copies of his undergraduate and graduate
degrees, OBrien wrote.

Gyrocopter pilot frustrated his

message isnt getting through
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RUSKIN, Fla. The letter carrier who

caused a full-scale security review in
Washington when he violated national airspace by landing his gyrocopter on Capitol
Hill expressed frustration Sunday that his
message wasnt getting through.
Doug Hughes had hoped to raise awareness about the influence of big money in
politics by deliberately breaking the law to
deliver 535 letters, one for each member of
Congress. Instead, the overwhelming focus
of news coverage has been about the gaps
he exposed in national security.
Weve got bigger problems in this country than worrying about whether the security around DC is ironclad, Hughes told The
Associated Press. We need to be worried
about the piles of money that are going into
Congress.
Hughes, 61, spoke as he returned to his
home in Florida to await prosecution on

charges of violating national airspace and

operating an unregistered aircraft. He said
his house arrest begins Monday, and he will
wear an electronic monitoring ankle
bracelet until a May 8 court hearing in
Washington.
Hughes said people werent scared when
they saw his gyrocopter. He says they waved
to each other as he flew in low and slow over
the National Mall, over the reflecting pool
and onto the Capitols West lawn.
Hughes spent a night in jail after Capitol
Police arrested him. The ultralight aircraft
and its cargo a U.S. Postal Service bin
carrying the letters were seized.
The message was two pages long to
Congress that they are going to have to face
the issue, OK, of campaign-finance reform
and honesty and government so that they
work for the people, Hughes said.
Hughes Russian-born wife, Alena, told
the AP that her husband acted out of patriotism for the United States.

Smugglers locked hundreds in boat

ROME A smugglers boat

crammed with hundreds of people
overturned off Libyas coast as
rescuers approached, causing what
could be the Mediterraneans deadliest known migrant tragedy and
intensifying pressure on the
European Union Sunday to finally
meet demands for decisive action.
Survivor accounts of the number
aboard varied, with the Italian
Coast Guard saying that the capsized boat had a capacity for hundreds of people. Italian prosecutors said a Bangladeshi survivor
flown to Sicily for treatment told
them 950 people were aboard,
including hundreds who had been
locked in the hold by smugglers.
Earlier, authorities said a survivor
told them 700 migrants were on
board.

survivor, and Premier Matteo

Renzi said Italian authorities were
not in a position to confirm or
verify how many were on board
when the boat set out from Libya.
Eighteen ships joined the rescue
effort, but only 28 survivors and
24 bodies had been pulled from the
water by nightfall, Renzi said.
These small numbers make more
sense if hundreds of people were
locked in the hold, because with
so much weight down below,
surely the boat would have sunk,
said Gen. Antonino Iraso, of the
Italian Border Police, which has
deployed boats in the operation.
Prosecutor Giovanni Salvi told
the Associated Press by phone
from the city of Catania that a survivor from Bangladesh described
the situation on the fishing boat
to prosecutors who interviewed
him in a hospital. The man said
about 300 people were in the hold,
locked in there by the smugglers,

when the vessel set out. He said

that of the 950 who set out aboard
the doomed boat, some 200 were
women and several dozen were
children.
Salvi stressed that there was no
confirmation yet of the mans
account and that the investigation
was ongoing.
Iraso said the sea in the area is
too deep for divers, suggesting
that the final toll may never be
Retknown. The sea off Libya runs
as deep as 3 miles or more.
How can it be that we daily are
witnessing a tragedy? asked
Renzi, who strategized with his
top ministers ahead of Mondays
European Union meeting in
Luxembourg, where foreign ministers scrambled to add stopping
the smugglers to their agenda.
Resurgent right-wing political
parties have made a rallying cry
out of a rising tide of illegal
migration.

Video shows Islamic

State kills Ethiopian
Christians in Libya
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAIRO Islamic State militants in

Libya shot and beheaded groups of captive
Ethiopian Christians, a video purportedly
from the extremists showed Sunday. The
attack widens the circle of nations affected
by the groups atrocities while showing its
growth beyond a self-declared caliphate in
Syria and Iraq.
The release of the 29-minute video comes
a day after Afghanistans president blamed
the extremists for a suicide attack in his
country that killed at least 35 people and
underscores the chaos gripping Libya after
its 2011 civil war and the killing of dictator
Moammar Gadhafi.
It also mirrored a film released in February
showing militants beheading 21 captured
Egyptian Christians on a Libyan beach,
which immediately drew Egyptian airstrikes
on the groups suspected positions in
Libya. Whether Ethiopia would or could
respond with similar military force
remains unclear.
Ethiopia long has drawn the anger of
Islamic extremists over its militarys
attacks on neighboring Somalia, whose

population is almost entirely Muslim.

While the militant in the video at one point
said Muslim blood that was shed under the
hands of your religion is not cheap, it did
not specifically mention the Ethiopian
governments actions.
The video, released via militant social
media accounts and websites, could not be
independently verified by the Associated
Press. However, it corresponded to other
videos released by the Islamic State group
and bore the symbol of its al-Furqan media
arm.
The video starts with what it called a history of Christian-Muslim relations, followed by scenes of militants destroying
churches, graves and icons. A masked fighter brandishing a pistol delivers a long statement, saying Christians must convert to
Islam or pay a special tax prescribed by the
Quran.
It shows one group of captives, identified
as Ethiopian Christians, purportedly held
by an Islamic State affiliate in eastern Libya
known as Barqa Province. It also shows
another purportedly held by an affiliate in
the southern Libyan calling itself the
Fazzan Province.

Breakaway Turkish Cypriots vote

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NICOSIA, Cyprus Turkish Cypriots are

voting for a new leader for the breakaway
north of Cyprus on Sunday in an unpredictable contest as talks to reunify the ethnically split island are expected to resume
next month.
Some 177,000 residents are eligible to
vote for seven candidates, including hardline incumbent Dervis Eroglu and main
challengers Sibel Siber and Mustafa Akinci.
Results are expected Sunday night and
will trigger a runoff election next week, if
no candidate receives enough votes to win
outright on the first ballot.
The poll will decide who sits opposite
Greek Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades
in talks to reunify the Mediterranean island,
split in 1974 when Turkey invaded after a
coup by supporters of union with Greece.
Only Turkey recognizes a Turkish Cypriot
declaration of independence and keeps more
than 30,000 troops in the north.
Peace talks were interrupted last year amid
a clash over rights to the islands potential
offshore gas reserves. That feud has simmered down, raising prospects of a resump-

tion of talks by mid-May, according to

United Nations envoy Espen Barth Eide.
If we consider the fact that the negotiations will start soon, my wish is to see a
president after this election who is able to
voice the needs and represent the ideas and
expectations of the Turkish Cypriot community, Eroglu said after casting his ballot.
Siber said irrespective of the votes outcome, the country will carry on to see better days.
Kudret Ozersay, formerly Eroglus top
adviser, is also mounting a challenge and
may take votes away from his former mentor.
The discovery of gas off the islands coast
has raised the stakes in any peace deal. A
Cyprus accord could ease Turkeys bid to
join the EU and allow for tighter security
cooperation on NATOs southern flank. It
may help forge new energy-based partnerships in a region torn by conflict and instability.
But many Turkish Cypriots are disillusioned after decades of false promises following numerous failed rounds of negotiations.

Support EV and environmental goals

By Mark Roest

California and especially Silicon

Valley has always been known as a
source of great innovation and
progress. This is particularly true
when it comes to supporting our environment and championing policies
designed to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions, and its a big part of the
reason why many green technology
startups have launched and thrived
here. Its also the reason why
California leads the nation in electric
vehicle, or EV, adoption and promotion.
But the innovation that has made
California a leader in EVs and the
other green technologies related to
the industry is at risk if Californias
Legislature doesnt act swiftly to protect the competitive markets that
have supported the states environmental goals and the EV markets
development so far.
Thats the reason Assembly Bill
1005 is so important and why its so
laudable that Assemblyman Rich
Gordon, D-Menlo Park, is authoring
and championing the measure. In particular, AB 1005 establishes clear
parameters to ensure that investorowned utilities arent able to seize
monopoly control over EV charging
in their service regions, which would
threaten customer choice, competition and progress in the EV charging
market.
The measure permits utilities to use
ratepayer funds to support investments in whats known as make
ready infrastructure the trenching,

conduit, wires,
panel upgrades and
metering needed to
install an EV
charging station.
However, utilities
wont be allowed to
own the EV chargers unless the program protects customer choice, allows exibility in the
source of power to the chargers and
includes fully networked chargers.
Why are these parameters so important? Because utilities like Pacic Gas
and Electric have already made moves
to expand their monopoly into EV
charging, which would be bad for EV
drivers, ratepayers and the community.
As part of the plan it released earlier
this year, PG&E wants to own and
operate 21,100 EV charging stations
at locations they control. Under the
plan, site owners would have no
choice in the kind of charger or network on their property; ratepayers
would also be on the hook for $654
million a price tag far more expensive than necessary, based on what
private companies have spent on
comparable projects.
Proposals like PG&Es are a blueprint for monopolistic control in the
market, where one entity controls the
infrastructure, provides the power and
manages the demand, forcing consumers to rely only on them. With the
utility companies dictating the EV
charging hardware, pricing and features, there would be little incentive
to innovate to provide better services, at lower cost, to EV drivers.

Why is this so bad?

If service is diminished and innovation stalls, EV adoption wont accelerate as quickly as it should; in fact,
EV adoption could slow or stall altogether, and as a result, less solar energy would be installed - a situation that
does not bode well for Californias
progress towards its environmental
and green economy goals. If we are to
continue supporting a thriving EV
industry in the Bay Area and across
California, then we need state-level
policy direction to provide clarity
about this issue and to promote innovation, competition and consumer
choice. AB 1005 is a solution that
allows utilities to work with site owners and make investments to help
accelerate charging station deployment without jeopardizing site owner
and consumer choice.
AB 1005 supports utility partnerships while also protecting competition and private investment in this
growing market, which are the keys
to a strong EV industry across the
region. And thats the reason the
measure deserves support - so that we
can ensure a strong future for EVs, for
our environment and for our economy.

The most intrusive
inspections ever

Mom and pop lumberyards

and the 1 percent lumber tax

Editor,
Presdent Obama, on the verge of
making a deal with Iran, tells us the
inspections of its potential nuclear
bomb-making facilities, will be
unprecedented andthe most intrusive ever.
Yet the Iranians furiously balk at
the idea of snap
inspections, and claim these can
only occur if the Mullahs themselves permit them.
Just one question: If Iran plans
toabide by any agreement, why
would they resist theseanytime,
anywhereinspections?
Scott Abramson
San Mateo

Editor,
Not too long ago I wrote a letter
regarding the demise of mom and pop
lumberyard type businesses. At the
time, Palo Alto Lumber in Redwood
City was closing its doors. Today
there is another small lumberyard of
this type closing its doors. This
would be Empire Lumber in
Belmont.So the trend continues as
these types of lumberyards go away,
never to appear again. At one time
there were hundreds of these types of
lumberyards on the Peninsula, but not
any more.
My 77-year-old mom and pop lumberyard (Bruce Bauer Lumber &
Supply) is one of the lucky survivors.
I am a third-generation Bauer and
there is now a fourth generation

ot since the Dred Scott decision of 1857 has the

U.S. Supreme Court made such mischief as it has
in the 2010 Citizens United case. The Scott decision was ultimately undone by the Civil War and the 14th
amendment. The Union was saved and slavery became illegal. Who knows where Citizens United may lead? Some
say it has already destroyed the democratic process by
making unlimited amounts of money available for candidates and made special interests more important than voters.
***
Dred Scott v. Sandford was a landmark decision in which
the court held that blacks whether enslaved or free could
not be American citizens and had no standing to sue in federal court. Scott had been taken by his owners to free
states where he attempted to sue for his freedom. In a 7-2
decision written by Chief
Justice Roger B. Taney, the
court denied Scotts request.
It was only the second time
in its history that the
Supreme Court ruled an act
of Congress unconstitutional.
In Citizens United, on a
5-4 vote, the court ruled
that restrictions on corporate expenditures in elections contained in the
McCain-Feingold Act violated First Amendment protections of free speech. The
majority overruled two previous cases where the court
ruled correctly that
Congress and the states
may try to keep corporate money out of politics. In
Citizens United, the court cast aside a 2003 decision
McConnell v. FEC when the court upheld the very provision it now ruled unconstitutional.
***
It is no coincidence that the McConnell in Citizens
United is the very same U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell,
Republican of Kentucky, who is now Senate majority
leader. One of his main goals is to protect the coal industry
from environmental protection regulations. Coal is one of
Kentuckys primary industries and coal-red power plants
provide 90 percent of its energy. It is no coincidence that
Sen. McConnell has been the largest recipient of coal
industry contributions of any member of Congress.
Coal-red power plants are the nations largest source of
greenhouse gas emissions. Last month, Sen. McConnell
sent a letter urging the governors of all 50 states to defy
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations to
slash carbon pollution from the nations coal-red power
plants.
***
McConnell has other allies in his ght to tame or eliminate EPA regulations of the energy industry. The Koch
brothers, the fourth richest Americans, have played an
active role in opposing climate change legislation which
directly affects the protability of Koch Industries. In
2011, the EPA reported that Koch Industries emitted over
24 million tons of carbon dioxide (equal to emissions
from 5 million cars). The lobbying arm of Koch Industries
advocated for the Energy Tax Prevention Act which would
prevent the EPA from regulating greenhouse gases.
Citizens United unleashed the power of special interests
such as the Koch brothers to inuence elections and legislators. Their attempts to weaken the EPA and do little to
ght climate change is a direct challenge to what
California is trying to do to protect its dwindling sources
of water.
***
Its hard to believe that there are still climate change
deniers. Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe is one.
Unfortunately, he heads the Senates Environment and
Public Works Committee. The United States is far behind
where it should be in preparing for drought in the western
states. As the New York Times reported in a story Mighty
Rio Grande Now a Trickle Under Siege, not only is
California in the droughts grip, But from Texas to
Arizona to Colorado, the entire West is under siege by
changing weather patterns that have shrunk snow packs,
raised temperatures, spurred evaporation and reduced reservoirs to record lows. Desalinization, where ocean water is
made usable for plants and humans, is still an expensive
and unpopular option although a major plant is now
underway in Carlsbad, California. Collecting rain water
when it does fall is still not uniformly practiced.
Collaboration among cities, water agencies and states to
share and preserve water resources is still to be achieved
on a meaningful scale. California farmers are desperately
using one-time well water making it much worse for next
year and future year crops.
Can things be done? Can California farms be saved? Yes,
it is possible (However, no more green lawns or long
showers or viable ski seasons). But it will be much more
difcult with the likes of Sen. Mitch McConnell, the Koch
Brothers and Citizens United.

Rising risks seen for economic recovery

By Martin Crutsinger
and Harry Dunphy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON World finance

officials said Saturday they see a
number of threats on the horizon
for a global economy still clawing
back from the deepest recession in
seven decades, and a potential
Greek debt default presents the
most immediate risk.
After finance officials wrapped
up three days of talks, the
International Monetary Funds
policy committee set a goal of
working toward a more robust,
balanced and job-rich global
economy while acknowledging
growing risks to achieving that
objective.

Latest crisis
The Greek finance minister,
Yanis Varoufakis, held a series of
talks with finance officials on the
sidelines of the spring meetings
of the 188-nation IMF and World
Bank, trying to settle his countrys latest crisis.
Mario Draghi, head of the
European Central Bank, said it was
urgent to resolve the dispute

between Greece and its creditors.

A default, he said, would send the
global economy into uncharted
waters and the extent of the possible damage would be hard to
estimate. He told reporters that he
did not want to even contemplate
the chance of a default.
Earlier in the week, IMF
Managing Director Christine
Lagarde had rejected suggestions
that her agency might postpone
repayment deadlines for Greece.
On Saturday, she cited constructive talks with Varoufakis and said
the goal was to stabilize Greeces
finances and assure an economic
recovery and make sure the whole
partnership hangs together
between Greece and its creditors.

Global growth
In its closing communique, the
policy-setting panel for the World
Bank expressed concerns about
the unevenness of global growth
and pledged to work with the IMF
to provide economic support for
poor nations that have been hit
hard by falling commodity prices.
But international aid group
Oxfam expressed disappointment
that the IMF and World Bank did

not devote more time to exploring

ways to lessen widening income
gaps.
Given that rising inequality
continues to make the headlines
everywhere in the world, it is surprising how the issue remained
almost totally absent from these
spring meetings, said Nicolas
Mombrial,
head
of
the
Washington office of Oxfam
International.
Greece is in negotiations with
the IMF and European authorities
to receive the final 7.2 billion
euro ($7.8 billion) installment of
its financial bailout. Creditors are
demanding that Greece produce a
credible overhaul before releasing
the money.
The country has relied on international loans since 2010.
Without more bailout money,
Greece could miss two debt payments due to the IMF in May and
run out of cash to pay government
salaries and pensions.
Fears that Greece could default
and abandon the euro currency
group sent shockwaves through
global markets Friday. After being
down nearly 360 points, the Dow
Jones industrial average recovered

a bit to finish down 279.47.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Jacob
Lew said that a Greek default would
create immediate hardship for
Greece and damage the world economy.
In a speech Saturday to the IMF
panel, Lew urged South Korea,
Germany, China and Japan to do
more to increase consumer demand
in their own countries instead of
relying on exports to the United
States and elsewhere for growth.
We are concerned that the global economy is reverting to the precrisis pattern of heavy reliance on
U. S. demand for growth, Lew
said. As we all know, such a pattern will not lead to strong, sustainable and balanced global
growth.

Greeces debt
The negotiations over Greeces
debt have proved contentious but
all sides have expressed optimism
that the differences can be
resolved.
A number of countries directed
criticism toward the U.S. for the
failure of Congress to pass the
legislation needed to put into
effect IMF reforms that would

boost the agencys capacity to

make loans and increase the voting power of such emerging economic powers as China, Brazil and
India.
Agustin Carstens, the head of
Mexicos central bank and the
chair of the IMF policy panel, said
that pretty much all of the members expressed deep disappointment that a failure of Congress to
act is blocking implementation of
the reforms.
The IMF panel directed IMF
officials to explore whether any
interim reforms could be put into
effect pending congressional
action.
The finance ministers urged central banks including the Federal
Reserve to clearly communicate
future policy changes to avoid
triggering unwanted turbulence in
financial markets.
Lagarde told reporters Saturday
that the Federal Reserve had made
it clear that it planned to always
communicate and help everybody
anticipate its future moves on
interest rates.
Fed Chair Janet Yellen along
with Lew represented the U.S. at
the finance meetings.

British election focused on UK economy

By Danica Kirka
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON Prime Minister

David Cameron and his main
opponent agree on one thing
going into Britains May 7 election: Voters should choose the
next leader based on the health of
the economy.
The question is whether the
patient is recovering or is still on
life support after the global financial crisis.
After five years of budget cuts,
Cameron is focusing on the headline numbers. Inflation is down,
employment is up and the economy is growing at the fastest rate
among
large
industrialized
nations. The Conservatives need
five more years to cement the
gains and ensure that benefits

trickle down to everyone,

Cameron says.
The opposition Labour Party is
urging voters to look behind the
headlines. Real earnings are
below pre-crisis levels, employment figures are inflated by lowskill jobs, and the safety net that
protects the poorest in society has
been gutted, Labour leader Ed
Miliband says. The use of food
banks has soared as economic
insecurity
increased
under
Camerons government.
While politicians are crisscrossing the country promising to
control immigration, protect the
National Health Service, build
homes and improve education, the
election boils down to a simple
question: Did the Conservativeled government chart the right
course through the worst reces-

sion since the 1930s?

Its about austerity and globalization, said John Curtice, a professor of politics at the University
of Strathclyde. It is particularly,
perhaps, about the consequences
of austerity in the context of a
globalized world.
While both parties pledge to
continue cutting budget deficits,
which ballooned during the financial crisis, the Conservatives are
focused on spending cuts. Labour
says it will cut less and compensate by raising taxes on the
wealthy.
Ben Page of the Ipsos MORI
polling firm said people arent
focused on the specifics of deficit
reduction. They are looking for
someone to trust to decide who
is better suited to lead the United
Kingdom forward from the weak-

est recovery since World War II.

Voters will be choosing
between the Conservatives, who
are seen as being a bit mean but
efficient and effective, and the
Labour Party that is more caring
but possibly less competent,
Page said of the perceptions.
Complicating this equation is
the rise of smaller parties, which
could force Cameron or Miliband
to form a coalition government
that would pull them toward the
economic extremes.
The
right-wing
U. K.
Independence Party promises to
leave the European Union and end
inheritance taxes. At the other end
of the scale, the left-leaning
Scottish National Party, Greens
and Welsh nationalist Plaid Cymru
party all oppose budget cuts.
The
Liberal
Democrats,

Camerons current coalition partners, are positioning themselves

as the moderate alternative, arguing they would soften austerity in
a second Conservative-led government and enforce economic
discipline in a Labour-led coalition.
While Cameron has succeeded in
turning around the economy, he
has been less successful in changing the perception of his party
among uncommitted voters,
according to Michael Ashcroft, a
pollster and former deputy chairman of the Conservative Party.
Growing numbers of voters see
Labour as the party thats on the
side of people like me, he said in
a report last month.
Miliband emphasized this contrast when he released the Labour
Partys election program.

Philanthropist, shopping mall developer Taubman dies at 91

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich.

A. Alfred Taubman, the self-made
Michigan billionaire whose philanthropy and business success
including weaving the enclosed
shopping mall into American culture was clouded by a criminal
conviction late in his career, has
died. He was 91.
Taubman, who donated hundreds
of millions of dollars to universities, hospitals and museums, died
Friday night at his home of a heart
attack, according to son Robert S.
Taubman, president and CEO of
Taubman Centers, Inc.
This company and all that you
stand for were among the greatest
joys of his life, Robert S.
Taubman wrote in a message to the
companys employees. He was so
proud of what this wonderful company he founded 65 years ago has
accomplished.
Taubmans business success
spanned from real estate and art
houses to the hot dog-serving
A&W restaurant chain, for which
he traveled to Hungary to figure
out why the countrys sausage was

so good. He
also became a
major backer of
stem
cell
research.
But it was his
rearran g emen t
of how people
shop parking lot in
A. Alfred
front, several
Taubman
stores in one
stop close to home that left a
mark on American culture.
Taubman Centers, a subsidiary of
his Taubman Co. , founded in
1950, currently owns and manages 19 regional shopping centers nationwide.
Everything that excited me that
I got interested in, I did, Taubman
told the Associated Press in a
2007 interview.
Born Jan. 31, 1924, in Pontiac,
Michigan, to German-Jewish
immigrants, Taubman worked at a
department store after school near
his familys home, which was
among the custom houses and
commercial buildings developed
in the area by his father.
He was a freshman at the

University of Michigan when he

left to serve in World War II, around
the time he stopped using his first
name, Adolph. When he returned to
Ann Arbor to study art and architecture, he created small on-campus
businesses to cover expenses, then
transferred
to
Lawrence
Technological University near
Detroit to take night classes while
working at an architectural firm as a
junior draftsman.
Recognizing the booming postwar growth of the middle class, particularly in the Motor City, he
launched his first real estate development company in 1950. His first
project was a freestanding bridal
shop in Detroit but he had his
eyes on something bigger. Hed
noticed shoppers responding to the
convenience of one-stop comparison shopping opportunity, he
wrote in his autobiography.
So when a friend suggested a
shopping
plaza in
Flint,
Taubmans company did something radical for the time: stores
were pushed to the back of the lot
and parking spaces were put up
front. It was a success and his
young company took on larger-

scale developments in Michigan,

California and elsewhere in the
1950s and early 60s.
Taubman served as chairman of
Sothebys Holdings, Inc., parent
company of Sothebys art auction
house, from 1983 to 2000, and was
a partner in international real estate
firm The Athena Group before he
was tangled in a price-fixing
scheme. He was convicted in 2001
of conspiring with Anthony
Tennant, former chairman of
Christies International, to fix the
commissions the auction giants
charged. Prosecutors alleged sellers
were bilked of as much as $400 million in commissions.
Taubman was fined $7.5 million
and spent about a year in a lowsecurity prison in Rochester,
Minnesota, but long insisted he
was innocent and expressed regret
for not testifying in his own
defense.
I had lost a chunk of my life,
my good name and around 27
pounds, he recalled in his book,
saying he was forced to take the
fall for others.
The case cast a shadow over
Taubmans accomplishments, but

it diminished over the years and

his philanthropy continued
unabated. He had pledged $100
million to the University of
Michigans A. Alfred Taubman
Medical Research Institute and its
stem-cell research by 2011. He
also financed public policy programs
at
Harvard,
Brown
University and the University of
Michigan, which received several
large donations.
Taubman had one of the biggest
hearts in America, former Detroit
Mayor Dennis Archer said.
On Wednesday, two days before
his death, Taubman smiled and
lifted his hat while in a wheelchair
during a groundbreaking in Ann
Arbor for a campus building project.
The University of Michigan,
and the opportunities we provide
to our students, would not be the
same without Mr. Taubman,
President Mark Schlissel said
Saturday.
Taubman donated millions and
spoke passionately in support of
the 2008 ballot initiative in
Michigan that eased restrictions
on embryonic stem cell research.

Monday April 20, 2015

Duvall hits for cycle with Sacramento

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The Giants Triple-A team moved to

Sacramento this year and third baseman Adam
Duvall quickly moved into River Cats history.
Duvall had never hit for a cycle in his professional career, but achieved the feat in
Sacramentos 15-7 win at Salt Lake Sunday.
Hitting out of the cleanup spot, the River
Cats third baseman went 5 for 6 with a single,
two doubles, a triple and a home run to
become the first Giants minor leaguer to hit
for the cycle with Sacramento. It is the teams

inaugural season as a
Giants affiliate.
Duvall led off the ninth
inning needing a single to
complete the cycle.
However, currently with
an .870 slugging percentage through 46 at-bats
this season, Duvall wasnt
Adam Duvall trying for single, he said.
I was 4 for 5 going
into my last at bat, Duvall said. I knew I
needed a single. We were kind of jumping
around about it prior to the at-bat. Still I

wasnt trying to get a single. I was trying to

drive the ball.
Duvall started the day by driving the ball,
walloping a double high off the center field wall
in the first inning. He went on to hit his fourth
home run of season later in the game. He also
shot a triple to right-center, his first of the year.
When it all came down to his needing a single, Duvall hit a broken bat chopper over the
pitchers head. Bees second baseman Alex
Yarbrough was able to glove it, but Duvall,
not known for his speed, legged out a rare
infield knock.
Duvall added four RBIs on the day. Every

batter in the River Cats order had a hit as the

team totaled 21. Brett Jackson and Darren
Ford notched three hits apiece.
Duvall played in the major leagues with the
world champion Giants in 2014, seeing most
of his time at first base. With the departure of
Pablo Sandoval this season, he saw time at
the hot corner in spring training, but hit just
.167 through 48 Cactus League at-bats.
Spring training, I didnt swing it like I
wanted to, Duvall said. I went down and
got some at-bats and got right and have felt
good ever since. So I just want to keep it
going and see what happens.

out his seven-for-seven run at gold with wins

in the 400 free relay and the 200 back.
Tans seven gold medals were the most of
any individual at the meet. He was named the
meets Most Outstanding Swimmer for the
second year in a row. He also led CSMs
medal sweep in the 200 back.
The state championships will be held April
30 to May 2 at East Los Angeles College in
Monterey Park. It will mark the end of Tans
historic two-year career at CSM. He is set to
transfer to UC San Diego next season.

Fighting for its first postseason berth

since 2010, Skyline baseball ran into a team
with a greater breadth of destiny.
Entering into play tied for third place in the
Coast Pacific Conference, Skyline (11-11 in
Coast Pacific, 18-15 overall) fell 8-0 to firstplace Gavilan-Gilroy Saturday at Trojan
Diamond. Sophomore right-hander Erik
Barron proved every bit Gavilans ace, taking a no-hitter into the eighth inning before
settling for a complete-game shutout.
Currently tied atop the state strikeout
leader board, Barron added to his total with
nine punch-outs on the afternoon. After surrendering a one-out hit in the eighth to
Skyline sophomore Ismael Orozco, Barron
ultimately gave up four hits to help keep the
Rams stronghold on the conference lead.
For a Gavilan team that hasnt been to the
postseason since 1979, Saturdays win was
more meaningful than just the gem of the
man standing on the mound.
[The win] means a lot, Barron said.
Looking back at the years for [Gavilan],
they really havent had a winning record and
this seasons going great.
Oh what a gem it was though. Barron was in
complete command through his third shutout
of the season. Through the first seven
innings, all but two of the outs he recorded
were by way of strikeout or groundout.
After Gavilan scored five runs in the second inning to give its ace righty an early
lead, all eyes became drawn to the hit column of the scoreboard. And as Barron took
the mound in the eighth, he had faced just
two over the minimum.
I think everybody who is involved in
baseball [was aware of the no-hitter], Rams
manager Neal Andrade said. And nobody
says anything.

The College of San Mateo sophomore led a

at De Anza College.
As a freshman last season, Tan was state

Pelicans Davis eyes Game 2 against Warriors

By Antonio Gonzalez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO A half-dozen students stood outside War Memorial

Gymnasium at the University of San
Francisco on Sunday morning, gazing
through the glass doors to sneak a peak of a
6-foot-10 power forward who has become
one of basketballs biggest attractions.
It was only fitting that Anthony Davis
received that kind of attention here and now.

This is the same place where another big

man, Bill Russell, won consecutive NCAA
Tournament titles in 1955 and 1956 before
forming a dynasty with the Boston Celtics.
Davis, who won a national championship
in his one season at Kentucky, has been
hyped as a player who could reach Russelllike status in his generation.
At this point, the comparisons end there.
Davis is still trying to make his mark in a
place Russell left an impression more than
anybody else: the NBA playoffs.

Russell won 11 titles in his career. Davis

is still trying to win a game.
The 22-year-old teammates and coaches
call A.D. finally got a taste of the postseason when his New Orleans Pelicans lost
106-99 to the Golden State Warriors on
Saturday. Davis looked lost early but dominated late, giving Golden State a scare with
a brilliant fourth quarter that showed just
why so many believe hell be an MVP someday soon.
A lot of young guys wouldve folded the

tent after his first half, Pelicans coach

Monty Williams said before practice in San
Francisco. He doesnt run from the
moment. Thats not his deal.
Game 2 of the best-of-seven series is
Monday night across the bay in Oakland,

Goldschmidt again proves a Giants killer

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO After a last-place finish a year ago, the Arizona Diamondbacks
will take solace in any small positives to
start this season. A winning trip and series
victory against the defending World Series
champions sure counts as one.
San Francisco nemesis Paul Goldschmidt
hit a two-run homer to help Jeremy
Hellickson get his first win for Arizona, 5-1
over the struggling Giants on Sunday.
It was a good win, but it only counts for
one, Goldschmidt said. It doesnt really
matter in the long scheme of things, but any
time you can get a win, its good.
Chris Owings added a two-run single and
A.J. Pollock had three hits, scored two runs
and made a run-saving diving catch for the
Diamondbacks, who took three of four in San
Francisco.
Arizona won four of seven against San
Diego and San Francisco for its first winning
trip since sweeping Colorado in a three-game
series last June.

innings as San Francisco (4-10) lost for the

Goldschmidt leads all players with 12

support in three starts, lost his control in the
third and the Giants never recovered. Hudson
walked two batters and hit Jordan Pacheco
with the bases loaded to force in a run.
Owings broke the game open with his hit on
an 0-2 pitch that made it 5-1.
Theres such a fine line in this game,
manager Bruce Bochy said. They end up putting up a big number and it changes the
game. They outplayed us.
That was more than enough for Hellickson
(1-2), who allowed one runs and eight hits in
6 2/3 innings.
San Francisco got on the board in the first
when Nori Aoki doubled and scored on Angel
Pagans sacrifice fly. But three double plays
and Pollocks diving catch in center to rob
Hudson and end the second inning with two
runners on base helped Hellickson avoid any
more damage.
I wouldnt be standing here in this good of
a mood if they didnt do what they did,
Hellickson said of his defense. A.J., that
might have won the game right there. Then
the double plays that they made. They were
awesome.

As furious after loss to K.C.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KANSAS CITY, Mo. After Oakland and

Kansas City cleared the benches for the
third straight game and five more Royals
got ejected, Brett Lawrie was furious.
That was embarrassing, he said. Im
trying to play baseball. I cant step into the
box thinking theyre going to throw at my
head.
Hit by a pitch early, Lorenzo Cain came
back to deliver a key blow, a tying double
during a three-run rally in the eighth inning
that sent the Royals over Oakland 4-2 on a
tense Sunday. Cain stole third after his hit
and later scored on Kendrys Morales goahead double.
But the game will be remembered mostly
for trouble between the teams, which started
right away. Kansas City manager Ned Yost
and pitching coach Dave Eiland were ejected
in the first inning after Cain was hit by a
pitch from Scott Kazmir. That prompted
plate umpire Greg Gibson to
warn both sides.
Im not really sure if it was
intentional, Cain said. I felt
like it was intentionally. He
(Kazmir) did ask if I was OK.
No one likes getting hit. It

doesnt feel good. It was

definitely an intense
series. A lot of guys got
hit by pitches. A lot of
bench clearings, he
said.
In the eighth, Royals
reliever Kelvin Herrera
was tossed after throwing
Brett Lawrie a 100 mph fastball
behind Lawrie. Bench
coach Don Wakamatsu, the acting manager
after Yosts ejection, got tossed during an
ensuing argument, as did injured Royals
shortstop Alcides Escobar.
I dont mean to hurt anybody, Herrera
said. I was just trying to throw inside, but
just a bad grip on that fastball. It started
raining pretty good. And they just tossed
me out of the game.
Herrera pointed to his head as he went
into the dugout, which irritated Lawrie.
Thats what got me hot. Thats what got
me mad. You cant throw at my head and then
say, Next time I face you, its in the head,
Lawrie said. He needs to play for that. He
doesnt throw 85. He throws 100.
Lawrie was in the middle of the problems

best from start to finish each time they
take the floor.
Davis knows this, and he said hes
comfortable and confident in that role.
But he wasnt when Game 1 began in
front of a roaring sellout crowd of
19,596 dressed in a sea of golden yellow shirts.
Its definitely a different level, different atmosphere, Davis said. Calls
are different. Guys been scouting you,
they know your moves. Its very different. But this is what you come to
the league for, to get playoff experience and eventually get to the Finals
and win a ring. But it starts here.
My first playoff experience, it was
pretty hectic. So much going on, it
was so loud I couldnt hear my teammates, my coaches. We started off bad
as a team and picked it up as a team
when we all got calm.
Indeed, Davis did his best to bring
the Pelicans back from 25 points
down.
He had 15 points and one rebound in
the first three quarters. He had 20 points
and six rebounds in the fourth, finishing with 35 points and seven rebounds.
Davis acknowledged he felt nervous
and out of sync early on. Warriors center Andrew Bogut and versatile forward
Draymond Green also had plenty to do
with that, forcing him to take jump
shots and contesting everything near
the rim.
The Warriors said one of the reasons
Davis got going is because they had a
big lead and wanted to guard against 3pointers. Williams said Davis calmed
down and figured some things out,
though he didnt offer specifics.

KYLE TERADA/USA TODAY SPORTS

Steph Curry, right, drives around Pelicans forward Anthony Davis in Saturdays
NBA playoff opener at Oracle Arena. Curry scored a game-high 34 points.
Which side has the other solved is
the biggest question heading into
Game 2.
Either way, it leaves all the expectations on Davis, especially with the
Pelicans facing the prospect of playing without point guard Tyreke Evans,
who is questionable with a deep bone
bruise in his left knee. Of course,
Williams said the one thing he never
worries with Davis is how hell handle
pressure.
Late-game situations, if Im out
there in the huddle, hes looking me in
the eyes the whole time, Williams
said. If I look up, hes looking at me.
Because he just wants to tell me like,
OK, give me the ball. Ill do it.
Davis has dealt with expectations at
every level of his career. Even for a
third-year player, he was the NBAs
biggest difference-maker this season.
David led the league with a 30.89
player efficiency rating, which calcu-

lates a players per-minute productivity. He averaged 24.4 points, 10.2

rebounds and 2.9 blocks.
But theres a learning curve for
everybody in the playoffs. Warriors
point guard Stephen Curry said he had
first-game jitters two years ago in
Denver, and now hes a possible MVP
on the NBAs best team.
Davis said his coaches and teammates remind him every now and then
to just be himself. That was the case
before Game 1, when Williams poked
his head out of the coachs office in
the visiting locker room to check in
with his young star.
We hear all the stuff secondhand
what everybody has to say, Williams
said. I just wanted to remind him,
Dont forget, nobody thought wed
before here, so lets just be us. No need
to reinvent yourself today. Im going
to be me, an idiot. You be you, a great
player, and well be in great shape.

CP3 tabs 32 to lead

Clippers past Spurs
By Greg Beacham
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Chris

Paul scored 32 points, Blake
Griffin added 26 points and
12 rebounds, and the Los
Angeles Clippers surged in
the second half for a 107-92
victory over the San
Antonio Spurs on Sunday
night in their first-round
playoff series opener.
Jamal Crawford added 17
points for the Clippers, who
met the defending NBA
champions challenge in a
difficult postseason-opening matchup for two powers.
Griffin threw down his usual
array of roof-raising dunks,
while Paul quarterbacked Los
Angeles to an 18-point lead

in the third quarter.

Kawhi Leonard scored 18
points for the Spurs, who had
won the opening game in
their previous 11 playoff
series. Tim Duncan had 11
points and 11 rebounds, but
the Spurs couldnt rally from
their hefty second-half deficit.
Game 2 is Wednesday.
Tony Parker rolled his
ankle early on and managed
just 10 points on 4-of-11
shooting for the Spurs, who
slipped to the sixth seed in
the Western Conference in
their season finale. That
loss at New Orleans forced
them to open their chase of
their sixth NBA title against
the hungry Clippers, who
have never reached a conference final.

the intensity, as he struck out the next four

batters and six of the next eight.
In the eighth inning, however, Orozco finally put a dent in the hit column for Skyline. He
saw four pitches in the at-bat and was in an 0-2
hole. Seeing a steady diet of sliders though,

Orozco geared up towards the middle of the diamond and shot a clean single into center field.
Keaton Eichman added a bunt single in the
inning and Skyline got back-to-back singles
to start the ninth before Matt Seubert was hit
by a pitch to load the bases with no outs.
Barron kept the shutout in tact though by setting down the last three batters in order to
strand the bases full.
Skyline starting pitcher Kyle Vallans took
the loss, departing in the second inning after
allowing four of the first five Rams batters to
reach base in the frame.
He didnt have his best stuff today, which
is why we knew it would be a short leash,
Skyline pitching coach Tony Brunicardi said.
We had to stay close to them because of the
guy they had on the mound. Barron, he was
phenomenal. Hes been phenomenal for two
years at the junior college level. So, nothing
was different today.
With the loss, Skyline falls to fourth place
in the Coast Pacific with two games to play.
Currently ranked No. 13 in Northern
California, the Trojans best chance of qualifying for one of Nor Cals 16 playoff berths is
to win out against last-place Hartnell and
sixth-place Monterey Peninsula.
These last two games are must-win games
to keep us in the hunt for the playoffs,
Orozco said. Weve just got to do a better job
and come out ready to go.

sad that we only have one

more [meet] together. But
thats the nature of the
sport.
The CSM mens relay
team personifies the
importance of Tans presence. Tan, Josh Yeager,
Jake Folan and Javier
Rosas were a perfect four
Kawei Tan
for four on the Coast
Conference stage after finding quick chemistry with one another this season. Tan and
Yeager have been swimming together for six
years now.
Both were standouts at Burlingame, where
Tan was a three-time Peninsula Athletic
League champion. Now Folan (a former Serra
standout) and Rosas (a former Boys Athlete
of the Year at Hillsdale) have completed one
of the most prolific foursomes of any of their
respective careers. Its all about one thing,
according to Folan.
Chemistry, Folan said. Youve got to be
able to mesh with your team. It doesnt matter what sport youre playing, youre not
going to do well (without it). Swimming
seems like an individual sport, but its just as
much as a team sport as anything else.
The foursome won the 200 free relay last
Thursday with a time of 1 minute, 27.06 seconds. They followed that in the 400 medley
relay with a 3:34.46. Last Friday, they
topped the field in the 200 medley relay with
a 1:35.69. Saturday they celebrated a victory
in the final match of the meet with a 3:10.94
in the 400 free relay.
Tan won an individual gold per day as well,
topping the field in the 200 IM last Thursday
with a time of 1:56.62. Saturday, he won the
200 back with a 1:54.62. But all eyes were
on his swim last Friday, sandwiched between
the other two victories, when he won his signature event with a 51.75 in the 100 back.
Theres some fast dogs coming after my
title, Tan said of his outlook on the state
championships. Im the defending champion and Im going to fight.

Rosas and Yeager claimed an individual

gold apiece as well. Rosas won the 200 free
last Friday with a time of 1:44.37. The 19year-old Yeager was a hit Saturday with a
1:57.38 for victory in the 200 fly.
At last seasons state championships,
Yeager took eighth in the 200 back. He also
placed in the top 16 in each the 100 fly and
the 200 fly.
For this year Im a little bit faster, especially in the 100 butterfly, Yeager said. Its
just incredible swimming for so long, youre
still able to drop time.
CSMs mens silver medals were won by:
Rosas in the 50 free, Yeager in the 100 fly,
Aaron Lee in the 200 back, and Sean Doker.
The Bulldogs also claimed silver in the 800
free relay with a team of Doker, Aaron Lee,
Zach Zorndorff and Linus Li. CSMs mens
bronze medals were won by: Lee in the 400
IM and Yeager in the 200 back.
The CSM women celebrated four gold
medals, with freshman Morgan Smith having a hand in each. The freshman out of El
Camino topped the podium in the 50 free
with a time of 24.76. Saturday, she scored an
upset by winning the 100 fly with a 58.41.
Smith entered the 100 fly as the No. 3 seed in
what has been her specialty event since she
started swimming at the age of 7.
I was really nervous and I was really
jumpy about it, Smith said. I was just
ready to swim. I was ready to go. Im happy
it showed in the end and that I got my best
time.
Smith also shared in the Lady Bulldogs
two relay gold medals. The team of Smith,
Libby Massari, Haley Leong and Molly
McEvoy took first in the 200 free relay with
a time of 1:44.05. They also won the 400
free relay with a 3:49.45.
The womens relay team also took bronze
in the 400 medley relay. CSMs womens
individual silver medals went to Smith in the
50 free and Leong in the 400 IM. CSMs
womens individual bronze medal was won
by Leong in the 200 back.

Stanfords Price SKYLINE

wins vault title
Continued from page 11

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FORT WORTH, Texas Stanford freshman

Elizabeth Price, an alternate on the 2012
U.S. Olympic team, won the vault at 9.9333
in the individual finals at the NCAA womens
gymnastics championships Sunday.
Price won Stanfords first national title
since 2010 after tying for
the top score on the vault
at 9.95 the first two days.
I think that after doing
well in all the days that I
definitely proved to
myself how well I can do
under all these different
situations like multiple
Elizabeth Price days in a row, said Price,
the 2014 American Cup
winner while still competing with USA
Gymnastics. And it definitely helps with my
confidence going into today and afterward.
Utahs Georgia Dabritz has a national championship on the uneven bars, just not another
perfect 10 to go with it. The senior won her
best event scoring a 9.9625 after getting 10s
each of the first two days at the national meet.
UCLAs Samantha Peszek, a 2008
Olympian, won the balance beam at 9.95
after tying Floridas Kytra Hunter for the allaround title Friday.
Hunter, the all-around and vault champion
as a freshman in 2012, won her fourth individual national title by taking the floor
exercise at 9.9625. The Gators won their
third straight team championship Saturday,
a title they shared with Oklahoma last year.
Dabritz had five 10s on bars this season,
and helped Utah finish second in the team
competition. She was trying to join
Georgias Courtney Kupets (2009) and
Alabamas Kim Kelly (1996) as gymnasts
with three 10s in the same national meet.

Everybody was aware, that is with the

exception of Barron, as the sophomore was
locked in a groove with catcher Tyler Slayday,
who called his own pitches throughout.
I didnt even notice it until the seventh
inning, Barron said. I looked at the scoreboard and I noticed the zeroes. So, that was
going through my mind in the eighth. I think
that put a little pressure on me going into the
eighth.
Barron has some experience with the pressure, having thrown back-to-back no-hitters
during his senior season at Mt. Pleasant High.
He has never thrown one in college though.
While his four-pitch repertoire was dialed
to the strike zone from start to finish
Saturday, the Skyline bats did find the sweet
spot a couple times in the fourth inning.
Nobu Suzuki led off the fourth with a low
liner to right field, but Gavilans Bryant Cid
made a good running catch to record the first
out. Brett Berghammer followed with a shot
towards the middle, but Rams shortstop Rex
Lagman made a sensational diving stop and
fired a strike to first to tab the second out. The
dazzling defense inspired Barron to ratchet up

Tan admittedly doesnt lack for confidence. But he has been a catalyst for the
Bulldogs team unity, despite CSM lacking
the depth to compete on the team stage.
Instead, the team has sewn the seeds of individual talent aplenty.
Hes an alpha dog, sure, Wright said.
But hes there to root on every swimmer.
Hes there to pick up any person on the team.

Calgary rides Brodie to 2-1 lead in series Wisniewski

leaving for
Jacksonville

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CALGARY, Alberta TJ Brodie had a

goal and an assist, and the Calgary Flames
beat the Vancouver Canucks 4-2 on Sunday
night to take a 2-1 lead in their first-round
playoff series.
Sam Bennett scored his first NHL goal,
and Brandon Bollig and Sean Monahan also
had goals for the Flames, who hosted a
playoff game for the first time since April
2009. Game 4 is also at Calgary on Tuesday
night.
Shawn Matthias and Jannik Hansen had
goals for the Canucks.
Calgarys Jonas Hiller stopped 23 shots,
while Vancouvers Eddie Lack made 24
saves.
The 18-year-old Bennett gave the Flames
a 3-1 lead at 2:14 of the third period. The
fourth overall pick in the last years NHL
draft scrambled to the net on Joe Colbornes
sharp-angled shot and slipped the rebound
by Lack.
It was Bennetts first game in Calgary
since he saw action in a preseason game
Oct. 2. He underwent shoulder surgery later
that month. He rejoined the Flames in time
to make his NHL debut and record an assist
in Calgarys regular-season finale. Bennett
played in both playoff games in Vancouver.
With Canucks defenseman Yannick Weber
serving a goaltender interference penalty
and teammate Dan Hamhuis joining him in
the box for an illegal check to Bennetts
head, Monahan scored his first NHL playoff
goal on Calgarys two-man advantage at
14:36.
Hansen pulled the Canucks within two
goals with a snap shot that beat Hiller with
2:19 remaining.
After Game 2 ended with a brawl and 132
minutes in penalties assessed, the animosity resurfaced in a scoreless second period
Sunday with jawing and shoving after whistles.
Calgary forward Johnny Gaudreau skated
to the bench in pain after he was chopped
across the arms by Hamhuis, but continued
to play and assisted on Monahans goal.
Flames defenseman Kris Russell and
Canucks forward Alex Burrows fought with
1:25 remaining, followed shortly after by a
scrap between Calgarys Michael Ferland
and Vancouvers Kevin Bieksa.
The Flames led 2-1 after the opening period on Brodies goal at 15:02. A forecheck
and screens courtesy of the line of Bennett,
Colborne and Mikael Backlund gave Brodie
the time and space to tee up a slap shot from
just inside the blue line and beat Lack high
stick side.
Matthias pulled Vancouver even at 9:09.

the initial save during a goal-mouth scram-

ble, Matthias batted the puck into the open
net.
Bollig scored the first goal of the game at
6:35 his first since Feb. 2. Left
unchecked in the high slot, he beat Lack
with a high wrister to the stick side.
NOTES: Mason Raymond, who was a
healthy scratch the first two games of the
series in Vancouver, assisted on Bolligs
goal. Raymond is one of just five Flames
with more than 20 games of playoff experience.

Canadiens 2, Senators 1 in OT
OTTAWA, Ontario Dale Weise scored
the tying goal late in the third period and
then won it 8:47 into overtime, leading the
Montreal Canadiens to a 2-1 victory Sunday

Injured Hamlin
withdraws from
event in Bristol
By Jenna Fryer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BRISTOL, Tenn. Denny Hamlin pulled

out of Sundays race at Bristol Motor
Speedway because of a neck strain that worsened during a rain delay of
nearly four hours.
Hamlin said he felt
something strain in his
neck 12 laps into the race.
The race was stopped for
rain on Lap 22, and Hamlin
went to his motorhome to
see if he could get his neck
Denny Hamlin to feel better.
Instead, it stiffened and
he was hardly able to turn his head when
NASCAR summoned drivers back to their cars.
Since Hamlin won last month at Martinsville
Speedway, hes already earned a spot in the
Chase for the Sprint Cup championship and
didnt see the point in getting back into his No.
11 if he wasnt going to be competitive.
Joe Gibbs Racing turned to 18-year-old
Erik Jones, one of its development drivers,
to replace Hamlin. Jones has no Sprint Cup
experience, but is coming off his first career
Xfinity Series victory last week at Texas.
The race resumed after a rain delay of 3
hours, 58 minutes. Prior to the rain delay,
Brad Keselowski wrecked teammate Joey
Logano and both Team Penske cars suffered
significant damage.
Logano, who led all 300 laps Saturday to win
the Xfinity Series race, thought Keselowskis
issue was a loose car and not rain.

Furyk tops Kisner in playoff to win RBC Heritage

shots back. Furyk found
his game Friday with eight
birdies on the way to a 64.
He had a 68 Saturday, yet
knew he needed to fire
himself as he did Friday to
have a chance.
Boy, did he ever.
Furyk had six birdies
on
his first nine holes,
Jim Furyk
including a 48-footer on
the par-4 eighth that moved him in front. A
bogey on the 11th dropped Furyk into a
four-way tie for first, but he responded with
birdies on three of the next four holes and
looked as if hed have an easy time.
Instead, Kisner matched Furyks on-target
irons to chase him down on the back nine.
He had birdies on the 14th and 15th to move
within a stroke and stuck his approach on
the signature lighthouse hole at No. 18
within 7 feet for a tying birdie.
Kisner kissed his wife, Brittany, and 10month old daughter Kathleen on the way to
the scoring trailer to prepare for more golf.
Furyk is used to such grinding at Harbour
Town. When he won there in 2010, Brian
Davis tied him on the final hole to force a
playoff won by Furyk when Davis struck
a loose impediment on his swing and called
a penalty on himself.
Merritt fell to third after a third 69 this

week. His other score was a course-record

tying 61 in the second round Friday. Merritt
couldnt keep up with Furyks charge and
lost his chance after hitting out of bounds
on No. 12 and taking double bogey. Merritt
made up for it a few holes later with an
eagle-2 on No. 16.
Spieth closed an amazing five-tournament
stretch. He won the Valspar Championship
a month ago and followed that with seconds
at the Texas and Houston opens before
matching Tigers Woods record of 18 under
at Augusta National. For Spieth, 19 of his
past 20 rounds have been under par.
Spieth had a whirlwind media tour in New
York on Monday and Tuesday before arriving at Hilton Head. Now the 21-year-old
Texan wants to get back to Dallas in time to
attend the Academy of Country Music

Divots: Tom Watson finally played like
his age, the 65-year-old finishing with a 5over 76 after making the cut at Harbour

Watson, though, said this weekend that
playing tour courses was taking a toll on
this old body. ... Golfers went off in
groups of three on the first and 10th tees

Dixon wins Grand Prix of Long Beach

IndyCar brief

LONG BEACH Scott Dixon passed

Helio Castroneves during a mid-race pit
stop and dominated the rest of the way
Sunday to win the Grand Prix of Long Beach
for the first time.

Dixon has not had much luck on the 1.968mile, 11-turn temporary street circuit, finishing fourth in 2010 for his only previous

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S. C. Jim

Furyk won his first PGA Tour event in five
years, making birdies on both playoff holes
to outlast Kevin Kisner at the RBC Heritage
on Sunday.
Furyk was ahead by a stroke when Kisner
birdied the 72nd hole to force the playoff,
the fourth in the last six tournaments at
Harbour Town Golf Links. On the first extra
hole, Kisner rolled in a second straight
birdie putt on the 18th. But Furyk, the 2003
U.S. Open champion, answered with a birdie
to keep the playoff going.
After Kisner missed his birdie try on No.
17, Furyk sank a 12-foot putt for his 17th
career PGA Tour win. He dropped his putter
and punched the air in celebration.
Furyk shot a 63 and Kisner a 64, leaving
them both at 18-under 266. Third-round
leader Troy Merritt was at 16 under after a
69. Defending champion Matt Kuchar (68)
was at 14 under, and Masters winner Jordan
Spieth (70) was eight shots back.
It was an odd tournament for Furyk, who
had come close to breaking his victory
drought so many times he was 0-9 holding 54-hole leads since his last victory.

Sei Young Kim Serena has big eye opener at Fed Cup
wins in Hawaii
By Andrew Dampf

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

By Ann Miller
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KAPOLEI, Hawaii Sei Young Kim holed

out from 154 yards for eagle to win the LPGA
Tours Lotte Championship on the first hole
of a playoff Saturday with Inbee Park.
This is probably the second most memorable shot for me, Kim said through a translator. In 2013, I won a tournament, which
had the biggest prize
money on KLPGA. I won
that tournament by making a hole-in-one on 17,
so that was probably my
most memorable shot.
Sorry.
Her third most memorable shot might have
come on the 18th in reguSei Young Kim lation.
Moments after sinking a sneaky par putt on
17 to stay even with Park, Kim hit her drive
into the water.
Kims approach shot in regulation barely
cleared the water, but stayed in the fringe
fronting the green. After Park hit a brilliant
lag putt to inches for a par to stay at 11
under, Kim chipped in from 18 feet to force
the playoff.
She held both hands high, stared into the
sky and grinned for the first time after 5
hours of immense pressure, slapping hands
with her caddie.
In the playoff, staring into the setting sun
at breezy Ko Olina, Kim hit an approach that
barely got over the water again, then bounced
twice and dropped into the hole for eagle.
Kim couldnt see the ball go in and neither
could Park, but the roar from the crowd made it
obvious. Parks attempt to match Kims shot,
and win her 14th LPGA title, came up short.
Kim closed with a 1-over 73 in wind gusting to 30 mph to match Park at 11-under 277.
Park finished with a 71. I.K. Kim bogeyed the
final two holes for a 74 that left her two
strokes back.
The three players were tied for the lead with
two holes left in regulation.
I.K. Kim, trying to win an LPGA event for
the first time since 2010, bogeyed the 17th,
three-putting after converting clutch putts all
day. Park sank her par putt from 20 feet to get
up and down from a bunker, and Sei Young
Kim drained a twisting downhill 16-footer to
keep pace.
Hyo Joo Kim (69) and Chella Choi (72) tied
for fourth at 7 under as South Korean players
swept the first five places. German Sandra Gal
(69) finished sixth at 6 under.

BRINDISI, Italy Serena Williams

thought she was ready for the clay-court season.
As it turns out, the top-ranked player still
has a long way to go toward finding the form
that could propel her to a 20th Grand Slam
title at the French Open.
Today has been a big eye opener,
Williams said after coming back from a set
down to post a windy, error-filled 4-6, 7-6 (3),
6-3 win over Sara Errani on Sunday in a Fed
Cup playoff against Italy.
Brindisi-born Flavia Pennetta then routed
65th-ranked Christina McHale 6-1, 6-1 and
Pennetta and Errani beat Williams and Alison
Riske 6-0, 6-3 in the decisive doubles match
to give Italy a 3-2 win.
I need to go home and really train,
Williams said. Im totally not as ready for
clay-court season as I thought I was. ... Next
time Ill be really, really ready and Ill know
what to expect. Now Im in the mindset of,
You know what, Im not on hard court. Im
playing like Im on hard court and Im not. So
I have to play and be ready to hit a thousand
shots if necessary.

Chavez Jr. knocked down in 9th

CARSON Andrzej Fonfara knocked
down Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in the ninth
round and won after the bell Saturday night
when the referee stopped it.
Fonfara (26-4, 15 KOs) landed big shots
all night at the outdoor StubHub Center
ring, and his left hand in the ninth knocked
down Chavez (48-2) for the first time in the
boxing scions career.

Williams also won her

opening singles match
Saturday but the U.S. sorely missed her sister Venus
Williams, who withdrew
from the U.S. team due to a
personal matter. Also
missing was rising star
Madison Keys, who
declined an invitation
Serena
from U.S. captain Mary
Williams
Joe Fernandez.
Italy returns to the World Group and can
compete for the Fed Cup trophy next year
while the U.S. is relegated to World Group II.
It was Williams first career loss in the Fed
Cup, dropping to 16-1 13-0 in singles and
3-1 in doubles.
Errani and Pennetta celebrated by throwing
water at each other and captain Corrado
Barazzutti, and dancing on the red clay court.
Italy has now beaten the U.S. five consecutive times, including back-to-back finals in
2009 and 2010.
In her singles match, Williams held a massive 70-7 lead in winners but she committed
nearly three times as many unforced errors as
the 15th-ranked Errani 61-23.
Until the very end, Williams struggled to
dictate play against someone who had never

before presented her with serious problems.

I dont think I ever really got the hang of
it, Williams said. I really struggled today in
the wind, on both sides. I dont know what
side was worse for me. Usually Im able to
adjust and its a little disappointing that I
wasnt able to adjust sooner.
Still, Williams improved to 20-0 this year
in singles.
But Williams usually dominates Errani by
taking advantage of the Italians weak serve.
This time, the wind prevented her from stepping too far into the court.
The Circolo Tennis Brindisi is located next
to the southern citys port and a sharp breeze
was blowing off the bay.
Williams and Errani often had to catch their
tosses and start their service motions over
again, or delay play when the wind whipped
clay into their eyes between points.
The wind helped me, Errani said.
Against a player like her it favored me.
With the soldout crowd of 4,000 chanting
her first name, Errani served for the match at
5-4 in the second set but Williams played
solidly and then the American surged to a 6-1
lead in the tiebreaker and pushed it to a third.
There were four consecutive breaks of serve
to open the third set and it was tied 3-3 before
Williams finally surged ahead.

Furious 7 speeds ahead

By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

y annual poisonous foods and

plants column is way overdue,
by almost two years. I see that
the last time I wrote about this, I mentioned that Murray, my four-legged companion, had eaten part of a dirty diaper! I
know lovely! Id lay dollars to doughnuts that Murray would try to sneak
another one if given the opportunity, but
fortunately dirty diapers are no longer
part of our life now that our kids are 4 and
6. Its been close to two years since we
were changing diapers. But, with our still
very young kids running around the house
and occasionally spilling food or leaving
food on the coffee table, we have to be
mindful of other hazards. Take grapes, for
instance. They are fun to roll around,
especially if you are 4, and they can end
up under the table or between the couch
cushions. Grapes and raisins arent good
for dogs kidneys. Other food items which
can cause anything from a bellyache to an
emergency vet visit include apple seeds,
coffee grounds or beans, macadamia nuts
and walnuts, onions and onion powder,
tomato leaves and stems (green parts),
yeast dough and apricot, cherry and peach
pits. One lesson here; dont let your dog
anywhere near the compost bin; it is likely lled with tempting and potentially
harmful items. I dont really need to mention chocolate since everyone knows that
one, but the list seems incomplete without it. Moving outside into the yard, we
have a group of potentially dangerous
plants including azalea, calla lily, cyclamen, Easter lily, eucalyptus, foxglove,
varieties of fern, geranium, holly, iris,
philodendron, sweet pea and tulip. The
degree to which your pet gets sick can
depend on the amount ingested and the
size of your pet. Always have your nearest emergency clinic address and a poison
hotline at your ngertips.

LOS ANGELES Even in its debut weekend, Kevin Jamess Paul Blart sequel
couldnt outpace Furious 7.
The reigning box office champion might
have slowed from its blockbuster debut, but
Furious 7 maintained first place for the
third weekend in a row with an estimated
$29.1 million, according to box office
tracker Rentrak on Sunday.
This brings the high-octane action
movies domestic total to a staggering
$294 million, well above the $202.8 million that Fast & Furious 6 had earned at
the same point in the cycle in 2013. The
film crossed the $1 billion mark Friday.
The film has set a new standard for the
potential for box-office in the pre-summer
month of April and has truly become part of
movie folklore with its record setting numbers, strong reviews, spectacular word-ofmouth and of course the outpouring of support for late star Paul Walker, Rentraks
Senior Media Analyst Paul Dergarabedian
said.
Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 came in a close
second with an estimated $24 million.
While the PG-rated comedy didnt perform
as well as the first films $31.8 million

million to produce.
Its a great result. Its going to be very
profitable for us and a big success, Sonys
President of Worldwide Distribution Rory
Bruer said.
It was something that Kevin really wanted to do and we wanted to do it with him, he
said. Kudos to Kevin for working so hard in

Dergarabedian said Blarts opening
proves that if you give the people what
they want, you can make a tidy profit.
Meanwhile, the low-budget, social media

Body found Robin Williams the posthumous star of 3 Still Standing

in parking
lot at motel
By Charmaine Noronha
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAY CITY NEWS

A dead man was found lying in

the parking lot of a San Bruno
motel Sunday morning.
At roughly 6:15 a.m., police
went to the Budget Motel at 850 El
Camino Real to investigate a
report of an unresponsive man in
the parking lot.
Emergency personnel determined that the victim was
deceased. The victims identity is
being withheld until authorities
can notify his next-of-kin.
Police are asking anyone with
information related to the death to
call (650) 616-7100.

TORONTO Before the late

Robin Williams enthralled television audiences on Mork and
Mindy, he already was a star on
the 1970s stand-up comedy circuit
and by the 80s was a leading
light for a new stand-up generation.
The political satirist Will Durst
recalls how he once had the unenviable task of following Williams
at the Holy City Zoo comedy club
in San Francisco, a venue with a
star-studded history that is being
explored in a new documentary, 3
Still Standing.
There were 15, 20 people in the
club before (Williams) came on
stage. He came on and word went
up and down the streets. There
were a bunch of nearby bars and
everybody left them and wandered
over to the Zoo. The place was

Hawes introduced a bill that would consolidate and separate the government of San
Francisco and that of the area south of San

resulted in a vote for the creation of a 449square-mile San Mateo County out of San
Francisco County (which began at the tip of
the Peninsula and ended at San Francisquito
Creek in Palo Alto).

People
were
trying to peer
in, just to watch
him. And I had
to follow him.
Robin Williams When I hit the
stage, it was
like a massive movement out, like
the great exodus, Durst said,
laughing.
That was quite a baptism.
Williams provides a poignant
focal point for 3 Still Standing,
which has toured U.S. film festivals and is being shown this
month at Torontos Hot Docs,
North Americas largest documentary festival. His 2013 interview
for the documentary represents
one of Williams final appearances
on screen.
The documentary follows the

stand-up careers of Durst, Larry

Bubbles Brown and Johnny
Steele, who are credited with helping to launch a comedy revolution
in San Francisco in the 1980s
alongside Dana Carvey, Rob
Schneider and Paula Poundstone.
All were awed and influenced by
Williams.
Theres a story Dana Carvey
tells, Robert Campos, the producer of the documentary, told the
Associated Press. He was at an
open mic watching these comedians up on stage and he thinks, Oh
I can do that. And then some guy
goes up and blows the roof off the
stage and Dana thinks, Oh, I cant
do that and its Robin
Williams.
You can go to any tiny comedy
club in the country and theres a
picture of Robin with the owner
arm in arm, Campos said. He
just really loved to perform. Its
like Jerry Seinfeld and Jon Stewart

His wells have gone from 40 feet deep in

1977 to 90 or 100 feet this year, as farmers
and other users draw from the underground
reservoirs.
Weve crossed an interesting boundary
here, Weimer said.
Continuing strong prices have some
California growers rushing to plant still
more trees. In a U. S. Department of

Agriculture survey for 2014, 77 percent of

state almond farmers polled said they
intended to put in new almond acreage
despite the drought.
The governor and his cabinet secretaries
defend almonds as a high-value crop.
Were going to try to maximize all beneficial uses, not pick one we like better than
the others, said Felicia Marcus, head of the

state Water Resources Control Board.

Any talk of curbing almond growing by
big investment firms really just gets to be
kind of un-American, said Wenger, the
head of the state Farm Bureau. Even though
he dislikes some almond investors, Wenger
said, its a free country. And they have a
right to do whatever they can.

Commission was considering a resolution

that would have increased the amount of
office space from 500, 000 square feet
allowed in the Downtown Precise Plan to
630,000 square feet and decrease the number
of housing units approved in the plan from
2,500 to 2,100.
That resolution was withdrawn by planners, however, before the Planning
Commission had a chance to consider it.

With office uses limited downtown, other

projects in the planning pipeline may be
approved before Lane brings back a new
proposal.
The hard cap on offices may mean Lane
will have to consider housing with a mix of
retail at the Powerhouse Gym site if it wants
to redevelop the property.
The city expects that developers will
build all the allowable office spaces

approved in the plan by the end of this year

while applications for housing and retail
are not nearing the limits approved in the
Downtown Precise Plan, which the City
Council adopted in 2011.

were collected in the Crystal Springs Hotel

(now under water below the Crystal Springs
Reservoir, at Abby House and at
McDougalls house in Belmont. Two-hundred-and-ninety-seven votes were supposedly collected at the Crystal Springs Valley,
although only 25 people lived in the area.
The vote excluded any women in the area as
women did not yet have the right to vote.
The toughs that Mulligan and Lilly had
associated with took over the polling
places. They brought ballot boxes with
false bottoms with signed ballots that could
be taken out when the counting began at the
end of the day. The overseers at the voting
places were not known to the local citizens
and when asked who they were did not pro-

vide adequate answers other than that they

were in charge. When the votes were tabulated at Abby House, 500 votes were cast in
an area with only 50 potential voters.
Belmont registered 1,800 votes.
The total vote was a farce. It was contested in court almost immediately and the state
Supreme Court ruled the vote illegal not
because of the ballot stuffing but due to the
fact that the election had occurred too early
(before July) and without a specific
enabling clause that stated this fact. Many
of the gang-backed candidates had actually
lost in this vote. Eventually, new elections
were set for May 1857 and all of the incumbents who were still around were returned
except for the assessor, who chose not to

run. Thus the county of San Mateo was

begun in political turmoil.

facts surrounding the birth of San Mateo
County, read San Mateo County, A
Sesquicentennial History, by Mitch
Postel, director of the San Mateo History
Museum. It is available at the San Mateo

Director reveals plot for Star Wars film Rogue One

By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANAHEIM The Jedis are all

but extinct, the Old Republic is in
turmoil and the threat of the Death
Star is looming in Rogue One,
fans learned at Star Wars
Celebration on Sunday.
Director
Gareth
Edwards
(Godzilla) debuted a tantalizing
concept reel to preview the mysterious film, which is part of a series
of films exploring other stories
outside of the core Star Wars
saga.
For more than 1,000 generations, the Jedi Knights were the

guardians of peace and justice in

the Old Republic. Before the dark
times. Before the Empire, the
voiceover reads, as the camera
tracks to show a ghostly Death
Star hovering in the clouds.
Set between the third and the
fourth movies in the Star Wars
saga, the film will follow a band
of resistance fighters who unite to
steal the Death Star plans and
bring a new hope, referring to
the subtitle of the original Star
Wars.

dent, but now that times are better, the
council felt it was appropriate to compensate the city leaders, Lieberman and Stone
said.
Scoles will see his base salary of
$218,900 a year increased by 2.3 percent
retroactively since July 1, 2014, and
increased 2.5 percent beginning July 1,
2015, according to Human Resources
Director Cora Dino. Scoles contract continues to allow him to accrue up to 320
hours of vacation time, which he may cash
out upon leaving the city, and up to 96
hours of unused sick time that would be
applied to his retirement, Dino said. While
his salary is increased, he also agreed to
eliminate Belmonts 7 percent contribution
to his retirement plan, which Stone said
actually ends up being a 2 percent net
decrease.
Rennie has never seen a raise in his
tenure with Belmont, and his base salary of
$190, 500 a year will be retroactively
increased by 4.3 percent as of July 1, 2014,
and increased 2.5 percent effective July 1,
2015. The city will also increase its
employer contribution to Rennies retirement plan by 1 percent as of July 1, 2015,
according to a staff report. His opportunity
for general leave cash-out was also
increased, while hes still allowed to accrue
up to 1,040 hours of unpaid sick and vacation time, Dino said.
Im very happy that were able to retain
the team that effectively is sitting at the
helm of the ship of our city. Theyre doing
a fantastic job, Stone said. I think our
city manager is worth more than hes paid,

cast member for the film, which

will shoot in London this summer
for a Dec. 16, 2016 release. Jones
will play a rebel soldier, the director said.
Edwards said that her character
will not just be a stoic soldier, but
a complex, fully rounded human.
We wanted to see fear, warmth,
all of those aspects that everybody has, he said, excited that
Jones embodies the complete
package.
In the world of Rogue One,
Edwards said the absence of Jedi
is omnipresent.
The characters in the film realize
that the gods are not coming to

but hes also been in government a while

and understands that although were doing
better than we have been, theres no
guarantee the economic boom with last forever.
Scoles said he felt it only right to turn
down raises while other staff was being
asked to cut back.
We were negotiating with our employees
and asking for concessions during the
recession and our employees were very
good helping us through that and frankly, I
wanted to do my part along with them,
Scoles said.
Rennie agreed, saying from my point of
view its just not the right thing to do
ask for a salary increase when youre asking
others to give back. As Greg said, its how
we want to lead the organization.
Scoles added he enjoys working in a
problem-solving role alongside city staff
and the council to steer Belmont in a forward, positive direction.
Lieberman said Belmont still has challenges ahead, like tending to costly infrastructure repairs such as streets and sewers
while stuck with a limited tax base, but hes
glad to be in a position to increase compensation for two city leaders.
For me, the main message really is that
both Greg and Scott have done a fantastic
job for the city and we need to make sure
that
theyre
compensated fairly,
Lieberman said. But we also recognize that
Belmont has to be judicious and prudent in
how it pays and compensates its top leadership. And I think we have been, and I think
theyre delivering enormous value to the
city.

to a group of people who dont

make the decision, City Manager Jeff
Maltbie said Thursday evening as about 120
residents toured the site.
The property has a few homes on it now
and sweeping views of the Bay.
Technically, however, the land is zoned to
accommodate between 70 and 100 new
homes on the three properties, Maltbie
said.
These type of opportunities dont come
around often, Mayor Ron Collins said.
The city has surveyed the public over the
past several months to gauge what it would
support with a bond measure and preserving
open space topped the list.
Its a beautiful property that a lot of people didnt know where it was. It has ties to
the beginning history of the city, Maltbie
said about the water company.
Black Mountain tapped a spring in the
area until after the Loma Prieta earthquake in

1989 when the flow of the spring was disrupted, Maltbie said.
Residents would have to pay an estimated
$20 per $100,000 of assessed value of their
home if the bond measure is approved.
Maltbie, however, is not sure how much
will need to be raised to purchase all three
properties.
The propertys underground water could be
used to water Highlands Park, Maltbie said.
Much of the land is on steep slopes and is
not suitable for development.
The San Carlos Elementary School
District had its eye on the Black Mountain
property last year for a new school site but
the deal fell through.
Some in the public have suggested the
land would be a perfect spot for a recreational center or pool and others have suggested
it be turned into a park where dogs can roam
free.
The council must decide by Aug. 7 whether
to put a bond measure on the November ballot.

WATER
Continued from page 1
the desert. But the state also risks flaring up regional tensions surrounding
how water is delivered in California.
All Californians need to step up
more and prepare as if it wont rain or
snow much next year either, said
Felicia Marcus, chairwoman of the
State Water Resources Control Board.
Homes and businesses use less than a
fifth of the water Californians withdraw from surface and groundwater supplies, but state officials say conservation is the best way to maximize water
supplies to prepare for future dry years.
The water board on Saturday released
new mandatory conservation targets
from 8 to 36 percent compared with
2013 levels, before the governor
declared a drought emergency. The targets are now assigned based on water
use last summer to reward communities
that already started making cutbacks
after the drought started.
Some communities are expected to
save even more water, including San
Bernardino, which must scale back 32
percent compared with an earlier
demand of 25 percent. Others have easier targets: Los Angeles and San Diego
must cut 16 percent instead of 20.
The updated regulations still didnt
address some of the most common
complaints from agencies.
Communities that slashed water con-

sumption before the drought are

grouped together with those who didnt. Water savings can be limited by
factors unrelated to good conservation, including hotter weather, fiercer
winds and economic growth. And some
say regulators are ignoring local
efforts to wean off the state water system and prepare for droughts, such as
paying for desalination plants and
local reservoirs.
There are parts of the state that really havent done much of anything,
said John Helminski, assistant director of San Diego public utilities.
He said San Diego residents are
being asked to endure new restrictions
even though they have been paying
higher rates to become more selfreliant for water, such as an upcoming
project to purify sewage into drinking
water.
The fact that we are being dinged

aged her to consider pursuing a career
in engineering or architecture.
The charter school offers students an
opportunity to chart their own course
through curriculum soaked in technology, innovation and engineering.
Teachers set the standards that students must achieve, but students are
allowed the agency to learn at their
own pace.
Ken Montgomery, director of the
school, said getting high school students trained in a traditional classroom
setting to handle the responsibility of
setting their own schedule can be challenging.
But he said the program is more
reflective of real world expectations at
a college or job, and it is worth the difficulty of getting students to buy into
the value of responsible time management.
Yaqub said she appreciated the
opportunity to be responsible for setting her own schedule, as that allows
her to prioritize her tasks and prepares
her for the unpredictable nature of the

real world.
Summers echoed those sentiments,
and stressed the importance of responsibly managing her workload.
You really have to keep yourself on
track, she said.
The school is co-located on the
Mills High School campus, which has
been a point of contention in the past,
but will move to its own facility in a
building owned by the San Mateo
Office of Education on Rollins Road in
Burlingame next year.
The program collaborating with
Oracle is part of the schools intersession courses, which are two-week peri-

additional costs doesnt seem fair.

The board on Saturday said these
concerns are valid but more appropriate for permanent conservation goals.
All of those projects are in the
long-term interests of the communities, but what we are talking about here
is a short-term emergency, said
Marcus, the chairwoman.
The regulations are expected to be
approved by the board in early May
and take effect in June.
Local water departments that fail to
conserve or reduce water use face possible fines and state intervention,
which could include raising water rates
and adding new water restrictions.
State officials said they will start monitoring for compliance this summer
but will remain focused on helping
local agencies rather than penalizing
them.
Fines dont create water, said
Caren Trgovcich, the boards chief
deputy director.
Some communities that arent
importing water and arent facing
shortages, particularly on the North
Coast, can petition to make just a 4
percent cut.
The board on Saturday also allowed
water departments to exclude deliveries
to farms when determining water cutbacks.
Marcus acknowledged that the move
would likely exacerbate the perception
that agriculture, which uses four times
as much as urban users, is exempt from
drought cuts.
ods that occur four times a year allowing students to work with tech professionals on projects about which they
are passionate.
Another team of students created a
glove that allows hearing impaired to
communicate with people who dont
understand sign language by turning
the hand motions into words.
Summers said the exposure she and
her teammates gained during the project was invaluable.
She said she learned to work as
designer from the perspective of the
people who will be using the product,
which breeds empathy that helps guide
the team toward finding a solution.
Teammates agreed that programming
the arm band was the most challenging
element of the project, as none of them
had any prior experience.
Yaqub said designing the arm band,
and taking classes at d. tech, has
opened a world of possibility for future
endeavors she never previously considered.
Its too early to tell what I want to
do, she said. This has given me so
many different options.

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.

published doctor in the world on spinal decompression therapy.
