San Mateo at odds with family auto body shop

Hudson Automotive alleges civil rights violations, brings lawsuit against city
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The owners of a long-standing family

auto body shop are alleging the city of San
Mateo has violated their civil rights after
they were ordered to fix code violations
while city officials looked the other way for
nearby businesses.
Sean and Jill Hudson, owners of Hudson

Automotive at 186 South Blvd., claim the

city violated their first and 14th amendment
rights after they spoke out against the
citys attempts to crack down on South
Claremont Street automotive repair shops
in late 2012 and have since been ordered to
take down infrastructure vital to their business.
City officials disagree, claiming they are
simply responded to specific complaints

about Hudson and consequentially filed a

suit in San Mateo County Superior Court
last September seeking the company
remove two outdoor automotive lifts
which the Hudsons claim have been there
since the 1970s and create six parking
spaces for customers.
San Mateo officials have a history with
automotive repair shop owners in the South
Claremont Street and Railroad Avenue area

after they attempted to crack down on

numerous code violations but were met with
upset owners who questioned why their
years-long practices were suddenly being
scrutinized.
Unpermitted vehicle lifts, which is what
the Hudsons are being ordered to remove,
were a common violation business owners

Redwood City teachers get pink slips Teachers cut to close deficit
Declining enrollment forces district to lay off 27 people San Bruno school board approves eliminating
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Twenty-one teachers in the Redwood City

Elementary School District will receive
pink slips and may spend the coming
months uncertain whether they will return
to teaching next school year, the Board of
Trustees unanimously decided Wednesday
night.

The district will issue pink slips to 27.7

full-time certificated employees, following
a 5-0 vote at the Board of Trustees meeting
Wednesday, March 11.
Officials said the layoffs are necessary due
to declining student enrollment projections, caused by two charter schools joining the district next year, which will draw

teaching jobs, despite calls from community

Despite the pleas of residents to protect

the jobs of local teachers, officials in the
San Bruno Park Elementary School District
agreed to lay off 17 full-time educators in an
effort to close a structural budget gap.

The Board of Trustees voted 4-1

Wednesday, with Jennifer Blanco opposing,
to cut the positions of 11 elementary school
teachers, a sixth-grade teacher, a technology
and reading teacher, a special education day
class teacher and two resource specialists.

ally avoid them, though it might not

have been a scent that kept them away
they could instead have associated
those areas with danger because elephants had died there in the past.
Researchers were inspired to find
out what was going on.
Near Bela-Bela, a town north of the
South African capital of Pretoria, elephants named Shan, Mussina and
Chishuru were administered smelling
tests. The elephants detected TNT
samples 73 out of the 74 times that
they encountered its odor in a line of
buckets, said Ashadee Kay Miller, a
zoology student at the school of animal, plant and environmental sciences at the University of the
Witwatersrand in Johannesburg.
In the same tests, the elephants
wrongly identified only 18 out of 502
buckets as containing TNT, amounting to a 3.6 percent error rate, Miller
said. In the buckets containing TNT,
the explosive was dissolved in acetone on filter paper; only the acetone
and filter paper were put in the other
buckets.
In a second set of tests, the elephants scored 100 percent, detecting
TNT in 23 out of 23 buckets when
distractor odors of tea, bleach, soap
and gasoline were placed in the other
buckets, she said.
Lugging around the huge mammals

so one idea is to bring parts of the
mine fields to them.

tried to train bees to identify TNT.

Now elephants. New research conducted in South Africa and involving
the U.S. military shows they excel at
identifying explosives by smell, stirring speculation about whether their
extraordinary ability can save lives.
They work it out very, very quickly, said Sean Hensman, co-owner of a
game reserve where three elephants
passed the smell tests by sniffing at
buckets and getting a treat of marula, a
tasty fruit, when they showed that
they recognized samples of TNT, a
common explosive, by raising a front
leg.
Another plus: elephants remember
their training longer than dogs, said
Stephen Lee, head scientist at the U.S.
Army Research Office, a major funder
of the research.
The research comes as elephant
populations across Africa are threatened. Poachers across the continent
have annually killed tens of thousands of elephants for their tusks in
recent years because of a surge in
demand for ivory in Asia, primarily
China.
A pachyderms potential prowess in
detecting explosives was noticed in
Angola, a country that many elephants had returned to after a 2002
peace deal ended a protracted war that
saw many elephants being slaughtered. While there was peace, the land
remained sown with mine fields.
Some elephants seemed to intention-

Two marine sanctuaries off the

Bay Area coast to double in size
By Keith Burbank
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

Two national marine sanctuaries off the

Bay Area coast soon will more than double
in size, according to the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration.
The change was published in the Federal
Register Thursday and takes effect after 45
days of continuous session of Congress,
according to NOAA.
Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary
west of Point Reyes grew to 1,286 square
miles from 529 square miles and the Gulf of
the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary
just west of San Francisco Bay grew to 3,295
square miles from 1,282 square miles.
Additional marine and coastal habitats and
biological resources and ecological features
in the region will be protected because of the
expansion.
We are thrilled to announce the expansion of two of our sanctuaries in California,
NOAA deputy administrator and acting assistant secretary of conservation and management Holly Bamford said in a statement.
Research by NOAA and years of public
comment resulted in the expansion. NOAA
and its partners identified a zone off Point

Arena where nutrients well up to the oceans

surface and this zone flows south into the
sanctuaries original areas.
The identification of this upwelling zone
is the main reason for the expansion.
It may be the most productive upwelling
zone in the world, said Maria Brown, superintendent of the Gulf of the Farallones
National Marine Sanctuary.
Brown said the zones productivity reflects
its ability to support life, with animals coming from as far away as Indonesia and New
Zealand to feed.
We are the restaurant for animals all
around the Pacific Ocean, she said.
This expansion is the outcome of a
tremendous collaborative effort by government, local communities, academia and
elected officials to provide additional protection for critical marine resources, Daniel
Basta, director of NOAAs Office of National
Marine Sanctuaries, said in a statement. It
presents a bold vision for protecting the
waters off the northern California coast for
current and future generations.
The sanctuaries support an array of sea
life, including 25 threatened or endangered
species, 36 species of marine mammals and
more than 250,000 breeding seabirds.

Redwood City man killed

in Interstate 280 crash
A man who died early Wednesday
when his car struck a center divider on
Interstate 280 near Los Altos and
another car crashed into him was 38year-old Gokul Krishnan, according to
the Santa Clara County medical examiners office.
Krishnan, of Redwood City, was the
driver who perished in the crash on
northbound Interstate 280 north of
the on-ramp to Foothill Expressway,
an employee of the medical examiner
said.
The California Highway Patrol was
notified at 1:46 a.m. Wednesday about
the crash.
The driver of a BMW sedan, later
identified as Krishnan, was heading
north on the highway when for some
reason he veered off of the road,
crashed into the center divider and
ended up back on the road, CHP officers said.
A Honda sedan heading north then
struck the BMW. Krishnan died at the
scene, while the Honda driver was not
injured.
CHP Officer Moises Escoto said
Thursday that the CHP is still investigating the crash and that tests are
pending to determine if drugs or alcohol use played a factor.

Police, other groups

trying to tamp down
tensions in Ferguson
By Jim Salter and Jim Suhr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FERGUSON, Mo. With measured remarks and a conciliatory

tone, police, political leaders and
civil-rights activists on Thursday
sought to tamp down tensions
after two police officers were shot
in front of the Ferguson Police
Department during a protest.
The officers were quickly
released from the hospital, but St.
Louis County Police Chief Jon
Belmar said they could have easily been killed and called the
attack an ambush. Several people were taken in for questioning
after a SWAT team converged on a
Ferguson home near the shooting
site, but they were later released,
and no arrests were made.
The shootings marked the first
time in eight months of tension
in Ferguson that officers were
shot at a protest, and the bloodshed threatened to inflame the
already fraught relationship
between police and protesters just
as the city seeks reforms in the
wake of a withering Justice
Department report on racial bias
in its law-enforcement practices.

The attack also seemed to create

another layer of race-related mistrust after a week in which an
unarmed young black man was
killed by a white officer in
Madison, Wisconsin, and a
University of Oklahoma fraternity chapter was thrown off campus
after a video surfaced showing
members singing a racist chant.
In Washington, President
Barack Obama took to Twitter to
relay his prayers to the officers
and to denounce violence against

of us must travel together,
Obama wrote, signing the tweet
with his initials to indicate the
president personally composed it.
Attorney General Eric Holder
said the gunman was a damn
punk who was trying to sow
discord in an area that was trying
to get its act together, trying to
bring together a community that
had been fractured for too long.
The shots were fired early
Thursday just as a small crowd of
protesters began to break up after
a late-night demonstration that
unfolded hours after the resignation of Ferguson Police Chief
Tom Jackson.

Police arrests a protestor outside the city of Ferguson Police Department and Municipal Court in Ferguson, Mo.
The shots were believed to come
from a handgun across the street
from the police department,
which has been a national focal
point since the fatal Aug. 9 shooting of Michael Brown, who was
black and unarmed, by a white
police officer.
The gunman may have fired
from up to 120 yards away, a distance longer than a football field.
But with a line of roughly 20 officers standing in front of the building, the shooter did not have to be
particularly accurate to hit two of

them, Belmar said.

Were lucky by Gods grace we
didnt lose two officers last
night, he said.
A 41-year-old St. Louis County
officer was shot in the right
shoulder, the bullet exiting
through his back. A 32-year-old
officer from Webster Groves was
wearing a riot helmet with the
face shield up. He was shot in the
right cheek, just below the eye,
and the bullet lodged behind his
ear.
On Thursday night, about 50

people gathered at a public plaza

in downtown Ferguson near the
police station for a vigil. The
group sang spirituals, prayed for
peace and expressed sympathies
for the injured officers.
Tensions have been high in
Ferguson since August and escalated in November after a St.
Louis County grand jury declined
to prosecute Darren Wilson, the
officer who shot Brown. Justice
Department investigators concurred with that finding in a report
released March 4.

Fresh problems for Secret Service: Are leaders doing enough?

By Josh Lederman
and Alica A. Caldwell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The latest in a

string of baffling missteps by the
Secret Service prompted fresh
questions Thursday about whether
the Obama administration has
done enough to root out deep-seated problems plaguing the agency
and President Barack Obamas
decision to put an insider in charge

despite his administrations own

review that called for exactly the
opposite.
The White House said Obama
still has full confidence in recently
appointed Director Joseph Clancy,
despite a new investigation into
two agents accused of driving into
White House security barrier after
drinking. While declining to discuss the investigation, Obamas
aides described Clancy as the right
man to fix problems.

FDA wants more info on scopes

linked to superbug outbreaks
WASHINGTON Federal health officials are stepping up their oversight of
medical scopes linked to potentially fatal
superbug outbreaks.
The Food and Drug Administration
released stricter guidelines for manufacturers
of reusable medical instruments, including
specialized endoscopes used in about a halfmillion U.S. medical procedures each year.
For the first time the FDA is asking manufacturers to submit scientific data showing
that their devices can be safely disinfected.
FDA officials acknowledged that previous
agency guidelines from 1996 made no such
request from companies.

Nobody has higher standards

for the Secret Service than Director
Clancy, said White House
spokesman Eric Schultz.
Yet lawmakers charged with
overseeing the agency were aghast
and wondered how after intense
national scrutiny and a rotating
cast of directors the Secret
Service still hasnt corrected problems involving behavior of its
agents. In a rare move, the top
Republican and Democrat on the

Houses oversight panel joined

forces to say that while many of
the agencys top leaders have
already been replaced, this incident begs the question of whether
that is enough.
Clearly this incident is a major
wake-up call, the Democrat, Rep.
Elijah Cummings of Maryland,
said later in an interview.
The two senior agents including Mark Connolly, the No. 2 on
Obamas security detail had

been with other agents drinking at

a bar last week when they returned
to the White House in a government car, a U.S. official said. The
vehicle entered an area already
closed off by the Secret Service,
who were investigating a suspicious package and had put the
White House on lockdown.
Officers on the scene saw the
agents car, traveling slowly,
make contact with a barrier, the
official said.

Around the state

Brown to talk water, health
care and climate change in D.C.
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Browns
office says he is heading to Washington,
D.C., to meet with federal officials on issues
of water, climate change and health care.
Brown left California Thursday, but his
office provided few details of the upcoming
meetings.
Spokesman Evan Westrup says Brown
will meet with federal officials from the
White House, the State Department,
Department of Interior and Department of
Health and Human Services.

Since then, the Hudsons allege

TIKRIT, Iraq Iraqi troops

clashed along two fronts with
Islamic State militants in Tikrit on
Thursday as rockets and mortars
echoed across Saddam Husseins
hometown a day after soldiers and
allied Shiite militiamen swept into
this Sunni city north of Baghdad.
Recapturing Tikrit is seen as a
key step toward rolling back the
gains of the extremist Islamic State
group, which seized much of northern and western Iraq in a blitz last
summer and now controls about a
third of both Iraq and Syria.
The offensive also will serve as a
major crucible for Iraqi forces,
which collapsed under the extremists initial offensive last year and
now face one of the Sunni militant
groups biggest strongholds.

Iraqi forces entered Tikrit for the

first time on Wednesday from the
north and south. On Thursday, they
were fighting their way through the
city and expected to reach the center within three to four days,
according to Lt. General AbdulWahab al-Saadi, the commander of
the Tikrit operation.
The IS militants were trying to
repel the Iraqi forces with snipers,
suicide car bombs, heavy machine
guns and mortars, said al-Saadi,
speaking to the Associated Press at
the front-lines.
Tikrit, the capital of Salahuddin
province, sits on the Tigris River
about 130 kilometers (80 miles)
north of Baghdad. Several of

supporters of the deceased dictator
are believed to have played a key

doubled in the past six years, said

Mangini, 68. Ive been reluctant to raise
rents because I know my senior tenants are
struggling.
Redwood City resident Jeanette Carroll,
62, owns a condominium she rents to supplement her income as she nears retirement.
She bought it in 1987 and raised two children there before renting it out.
The tenants have lived in the two-bedroom, two-bathroom condominium for
three years and Carroll charges below-market rate for it.
I could be getting more but Im trying to
give them a break, she said.
She likens the areas housing crisis to
competing gas stations once one raises
the price, the other one follows.
She understands why some are calling for
the county to pursue rent control but I dont
want anything to happen that would wreck
it for me.
A 72-year-old woman who built six single-family homes in Half Moon Bay and
Emerald Hills in the early 1990s relies on
the rental income for her retirement.
She asked to not have her name in
print because she doesnt want to spook

her tenants.
She built the homes at great financial
risk and rents to families at below market
rate. She is opposed to the government,
however, telling her what she can charge for
rent.
To me its a property rights issue. From a
landlords perspective, its a business with
expenses and income, she said.
She needs to replace two roofs that will
cost about $30,000. She wonders why property owners like herself bear the only burden to provide affordable housing.
Rent control or any other restrictions on
her would prompt her to sell the homes
which will likely be owner-occupied and a
blow to the countys affordable housing
stock, she said.
Most older rental units in the county are
owned by individuals like myself, many of
them seniors, Mangini said.
As a senior renting to mostly seniors,
some for 20 years, she balances her own
financial needs with those of her tenants.
Her property has two two-bedroom and six
one-bedroom apartments for rent.
One of the two-bedroom units has rented
to the same individual for eight years who

pays $1,450 a month. The other two-bedroom unit just went on the market and
Mangini will rent it for $2,100.
Its still way under market, she said.
Most of her one-bedroom units rent for
$1,200 a month but she is hoping to get
$1,850 for a recently-vacated apartment.
Her father built it in 1961 and the rental
income it generates today helps support
Mangini and her two adult children, she
said.
Its the reason I can retire. Social
Security doesnt cut it, she said.
According to San Mateo County officials,
the average rent has jumped 51 percent in
the past four years for a two-bedroom apartment at $2,648 a month.
Mangini said if she sells her building, the
new owner would likely displace all the tenants and boost the rents as high as the market will bear.
Rent control, she said, will not allow her
to keep up with expenses.
The San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors will hold a study session
Tuesday to discuss the housing crisis.
None of the supervisors, however, favor
rent control and even the phrase rent stabilization is one that draws jeers from groups
such as the Tri-County California
Apartment Association, which urged the
Board of Supervisors to drop a rent stabilization ordinance study. The San Mateo
County Association of Realtors also urged

TENANT

It gets harder to move the older you get,

she said.
Shed prefer to live at Schooner Bay for as
long as possible but knows that the rent
increases will dig too much into her retirement.
She was expecting perhaps a 10 percent
rent increase this year considering the
regions escalating housing costs but was
shocked when she got the letter and saw a 20
percent increase.
She settled for a 12 percent rent increase
but said neither she nor anyone she knows
earned a 12 percent pay raise this past year.
Retiring early and leaving the area is an
option but she would prefer to live on the
Peninsula, near her friends.
Your whole life is predicated on where
you live. Ive worked hard my whole life.
Ive done all the right things. Ive been
called the perfect tenant, she said.
The housing crisis isnt just hurting the
working poor, she said, but the middle class
as well.
Being a senior and a woman doesnt make
it easier, she said.
Shes heard the stories of immigrant families sharing homes together to survive in
the area.
Shes heard the stories of families being

forced to move after renting the same home

for decades at below-market rates who then
realize they can no longer afford to live in
the area.
Area rents have climbed at least 51 percent in the past four years and the average
two-bedroom apartment in San Mateo
County is now $2,648, according to county
officials.
Kantoff knows shes in a different category than many of those who are struggling to
pay the rent considering her decent salary
and only having to care for herself.
But still, the extra $4,000 in rent she will
have to pay this next year is money being
taken out of her retirement.
Its preposterous, she said.
It makes her wonder how other single
women her age are surviving in the area,
especially those who no longer work and
live on a fixed income.
With the countys senior population
growing, she worries that thousands of the
countys residents will no longer be able to
live in an area that is jobs rich and housing
poor.
Not everyone can afford the premium
rents tech workers can pony up, she said.
The housing crisis will be the subject of a

more year.
But next years expected rent increase will
likely send her looking for another place to
live.
At 68, she makes a comfortable living
managing a research facility at Stanford
University School of Medicine. She plans
to work until shes 70 when she can finally
retire.
But retirement is starting to become a
scary word for Kantoff as she ponders how
much savings she will need considering she
said she may live to 85 or even 95 years old.
Her husband died five years ago after the
couple rented townhomes for nearly 30
years in Burlingame and Foster City.
Before moving into Schooner Bay, she
paid $2,500 a month for a three-bedroom
townhome in San Mateo for years without a
rent increase before the landlord finally
raised the rent the last year she lived there
before the property sold.
She visited at least a dozen communities
in her housing search before picking
Schooner Bay as her new residence.

the board to not pursue the study.

While San Francisco has rent control, it
only exists in San Mateo County in parts of
East Palo Alto and at mobile home parks in
unincorporated county lands.
County Manager John Maltbie recommended to study rent stabilization in his
mid-year budget report last month.
At the same meeting, board President
Carole Groom proposed forming a Blue
Ribbon Task Force on Housing to tackle the
crisis.
Mangini hopes the board will keep in
mind all the mom and pop landlords who
rely on rental income when it comes to who
sits on the task force.
For Carroll, who owns the single condominium in Redwood City, a cap on what
rents can be could be a solution.
Some landlords, she said, are simply
greedy.
Although Carroll understands more housing needs to be built in the area, she also
thinks all the high-density apartments
being built in downtown Redwood City has
become a little overwhelming.
Im not crazy about it, she said.
In the meantime, the rent she gets from
her condominium supplements her income
and in retirement can move back in if she
needs to.

Supervisors study session Tuesday.

The board will consider rent stabilization,
tenants rights, amending zoning codes to
ease construction of affordable housing and
even the construction of tiny houses as a
way to solve the housing crisis.
Kantoff isnt complaining or have anything negative to say about Equity
Residential.
She does fear, however, that even those
who make good livings and make up the
areas middle class will find it harder and
harder to continue to live here.
In her year of living at Schooner Bay, she
has seen constant turnover at the complex.
I asked my neighbor why he was moving
and he said he couldnt afford the rent
increase, she said.
She imagines its the same story for
everybody else who shes seen depart.
I will be able to get through this year and
have a year to think about it, she said about
living at Schooner Bay.

Repeal unfair court fee reduction law

By Andrew Gurthet

n California, if an ordinary person or

small business les a lawsuit to collect a debt, the court fee to le your
lawsuit is $225. But if youre a debt collection company, you only have to pay a
$181 court ling fee, $44 less than everyone else. Thats not fair, is it? But thats
the law under California Business and
Professions Code section 6322.1. And its
time for that law to be repealed.
The ordinary person and small businesses
are not the only ones hurt by this inherently unfair law. A small portion of all court
ling fees supports the public county law
library. Here, in San Mateo County, for
example, $38.50 of your $225 court ling
fee goes to support the San Mateo County
Law Library. In contrast, only $12 of the
debt collectors $181 ling fee goes to support the law library, $26.50 less than
everyone else.
County law libraries are essential court
partners and were created by the Legislature
to provide equal access to legal material for
all. Since their inception in 1891,
California county law libraries help thousands of ordinary people who cannot afford
an attorney to get the information they
need to le their own lawsuits, get restraining orders, le for divorce, ght landlords
and handle many other legal problems. In
San Mateo County, the public law librarys
four full-time and three part-time staff
assists over 8,000 individuals annually
with their various legal issues. As you can

imagine, that number is substantially more

for the larger, more populous counties,
such as Santa Clara, Alameda, Los Angeles
and San Diego, to name a few.
In addition, the San Mateo County Law
Library offers the public regular monthly
lectures on important legal issues, participates with the other public libraries to
offer regular Lawyer in the Library nights,
and legal clinics. In short, California county law libraries provide the public with
vital legal resources, forms and the expertise of law library staff.
This service is free. However, the only
funding that public county law libraries
receive is from court ling fees. Law
libraries do not receive any funding from
state or local taxes. In 2013, the reduced
ling fees paid by debt collection companies in San Mateo County alone resulted in
over $27,000 lost income for the San
Mateo County Law Library. That means
that our law library has suffered along with
you. With ever-rising costs and fewer court
lings, the Law Library has been forced to
cut many valuable books and electronic
subscriptions as well as services. These
lost subscriptions and services could truly
benet the public with their legal issues.
Now imagine if debt collection companies paid the same court ling fee as you
and me? That $27,000 could go a very long
way at the San Mateo County Law Library
by providing more public computers, better legal resource subscriptions such as
Westlaw and Lexis research, better trained
library staff, renewal of many canceled law
books, and even an additional photocopier

Guest
perspective
all directly benecial to San Mateo
County residents.
Debt collectors may argue that they le
thousands of lawsuits each year and are efcient users of the court system; they dont
need a law library and shouldnt have to
pay the same as everyone else to support
it. If this is true, then why is there no court
fee reduction for large real estate companies that le thousands of evictions per
year? What about large class actions?
Regardless, debt collectors miss the point.
Even if they dont use a law library they
still directly impact it well beyond their
$12 fee. Many of the individuals they le
debt collection lawsuits against simply
cannot afford an attorney to assist them.
The free county law library is their only
resource.
It is time that debt collectors pay their
fair share of court ling fees. It is time debt
collectors allow the county law libraries to
provide better resources and services to the
public. Please contact your local state legislator and demand that Business and
Professions Code section 6322.1 be
repealed.
Andrew Gurthet is the director of the San
Mateo County Law Library.

Broadway grade separation
Editor,
It was great seeing so many folks, I estimated over 100, at Wednesdays initial
meeting on the Burlingame Broadway grade
separation project. The purpose was to get
input from the community on separating the
Caltrain tracks from Broadway to make for a
safer crossing as well as facilitate traffic
flow.
We learned this crossing has lots of traffic
and should rank highly in terms of attracting funds. The March 3 Daily Journal article, City hosts grade separation discussion noted that the San Mateo County
Transportation Authority has about $200
million available in grant funding countywide for grade separation projects.
Participants in the break-out groups were
asked to first record what they considered to
be impacts the study needed to address, and
then our solutions. While undergrounding
the train received much applause, I personally question how realistic a solution that will
be, especially with limited funding. I think
a combination of depressing Broadway and
elevating Caltrain, as has been done in San
Carlos and Belmont, may be more practical.
I hope that my fellow Burlingame residents support the project. The recent fatality
at Ravenswood Avenue Caltrain crossing in
Menlo Park should be a wake-up call for all

Status of Seton
Editor,
Thanks to state Attorney General Kamala
Harris, the deal to sell the money-losing
hospital chain to Prime Healthcare has been
scuttled. And even though Prime promised
to keep the hospitals open for ve years,
fund the pensions of 17,000 current and former employees and invest $150 million in
capital improvements as well as maintaining
or increasing charity care, that was simply
insufcient in the mind of Ms. Harris.
In fact, she was requiring an unprecedented
10-year requirement, essentially requiring
Prime to run the hospitals at steep losses for
10 years.It is no wonder that Prime walked
away. The only option left for the Daughters
of Charity,who own the six-hospital chain
including Seton, may be bankruptcy.
So, many thanks to Kamala Harris, a candidate for the U.S. Senate, for making this
huge mess.And while the good news is that

Good apple landlords

Editor,
Regarding the March 9 letter Renter protection from Melinda (last name withheld),
I wish to inform her that there exist many
good apples among landlords. My husband
and I own a beautiful duplex in a great part of
Redwood City. The rents are well below fair
market. They have not been raised for ve
years. We have appreciative tenants who are
aware of that.
However, owning property is a business.
The cost of maintenance can go into the
thousands. The taxes and insurance are well
over $11,000, and then theres the mortgage. Need I say more?
We are not greedy and we personally know
of other landlords in the same situation.
Living in San Mateo County is expensive
for all of us.

early everyone I know likes

Daylight Savings Time. Days are
longer, or rather the sun shines
later in the day. Its a bellwether of spring,
and everybody likes spring, right?
However, I would be hard-pressed to nd
anyone who says they enjoy the experience of the time change. Most people
dont like falling back, though some
appreciate the extra hour of sleep. Most
people appreciate the time change to
lighter evenings, but dont like changing
the clocks and adjusting their schedules.
People with
kids? Hate it.
So why exactly
do we go
through this
exercise twice a
year?
Something
about farmers,
or maybe
school children. Its good
for our health
and our businesses? We
spend more
time exercising
and drinking coffee at cafes? Was it
Benjamin Franklin who came up with the
idea? Or someone else?
Great, so keep it at Daylight Savings
Time and get rid of Standard Time. Its
lame.
It appears the dates of the time change
are not locked. In fact, we changed them a
few years ago, in response to some crisis.
Hold on, let me look that up. OK, in 2005,
the Energy Policy Act of 2005 changed it
in 2007 to several weeks earlier and ended
it one week later. There were other things
the act did, but those things are boring.
Mainly, it changed the time so we could
save energy. Longer days mean less lights
at night, right?
So, please, why cant someone keep
extending it to the point where Standard
Time no longer exists? At this point, we
are only in Standard Time for four months
and one week out of the year. So most of
our lives are spent in Daylight Savings
Time anyway. Why not just do away with it
and keep Daylight Savings Time as our
time all year? Think of the energy savings! And it turns out Franklin had nothing to do with it, he just urged people to
get up early. It was some guy from New
Zealand who came up with the original idea
of turning the clocks ahead in spring. And
it kind of got rolling in the early 20th
century when people wanted to conserve
energy, which it does. So lets keep
rolling with it and keep it all year.
Changing clocks is a pain and it does
have a slight impact on our schedules.
People with small children have to ramp
up leading up to the change to make sure
bedtime doesnt get too late and everyone
gets to school on time. It will be lighter
during the winter. Does anyone actually
like the sun setting at 5 p.m.? I dont. You
probably dont either.
I guarantee a proposal to do away with
Standard Time would have wide support.
Any up-and-coming politician could likely
successfully run for ofce on that single
plank alone. Maybe throw in changes to
the carpool lanes too. Add a ban on red
light cameras and maybe make left-hand
turn arrows a yield when theres no oncoming trafc, and voila! Mr. Smith goes to
Washington.
There may be some naysayers though I
dont know who they are. I have yet to
encounter them. Maybe they like the ritual. Maybe theyre from Russia, where they
tried moving to all Daylight Savings
Time, didnt like it, and switched back last
year. But if the Russians didnt like it,
then heck, we should like it. Then do it. It
would be an American thing to do. USA!
USA!

Attorney: Woman in Silicon

Valley suit misrepresented firing
SAN FRANCISCO The woman suing a
prestigious Silicon Valley venture capital
firm for alleged gender discrimination
agreed to quit and accepted a generous severance package when she left the company.
Yet she immediately started telling people
she was fired and venting her anger about
her colleagues online and to companies she
had worked with.
An attorney for the firm, Kleiner Perkins
Caufield & Byers, questioned Ellen Pao on
Thursday about her actions, as she tried to
portray the former executive as someone
who misrepresented and twisted facts. It
was the right thing for you, attorney Lynne
Hermle said of her decision to contact companies to let them know she had been let go.
Pao responded that it was the right thing
for the companies. She has said she was
abruptly fired after filing her lawsuit alleging gender discrimination at the firm and
told to pack her things by the end of the day.

NEW YORK A sharp rally in the

dollar relented on Thursday, helping
push the stock market to its best day in
five weeks.
The U.S. currency dropped for the
first day in nine against the euro after a
weak retail sales report raised questions
about the strength of the economy.
A jump in the dollar since the start of
the month has pushed stocks back from
record levels. Investors are worried that
the stronger U.S. currency could crimp
corporate earnings by hurting overseas
sales. About half of the revenue generated by companies in the Standard &
Poors 500 index comes from overseas.
Financial stocks were among the
biggest gainers after a number of banks
got approval from the Federal Reserve
to raise dividends and buy back shares.
Intel was one of the days biggest losers after the company cut its revenue
forecast for the first quarter.
Its the pullback in the dollar thats
cheering investors, said Peter
Cardillo, chief market economist at
Rockwell Global Capital. The frenzy
that we saw in the foreign exchange
markets has, at least for today, calmed
down.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
climbed 25.71 points, or 1.3 percent,
to 2,065.95. The best performance for
the index since Feb. 3.

Business briefs
Intel cuts 1Q revenue forecast,
cites weak desktop PC demand
SAN FRANCISCO Intels stock fell
Thursday after the giant chipmaker lowered
its first-quarter revenue forecast, citing
weak demand for business desktop PCs and a
strong dollar that affects revenue from overseas sales.
The new forecast calls for little or no revenue growth, in contrast with company
statements in recent months that its PC
business was returning to growth after two
years of weakness.
Intel is the worlds leading maker of
microprocessor chips that serve as the
brains for most personal computers, but its
business has suffered as more consumers
have turned to smartphones and tablets that
use chips made by other companies.
Although it has launched its own line of
chips for handheld devices, Intel has been
struggling to catch up in that market.

The Dow Jones industrial gained

259.83 points, or 1.5 percent, to
17,895.22. The Nasdaq composite
climbed 43.55 points, or 0.9 percent,
to 4,893.29.
Stocks have slumped since the start
of the month on speculation that the
Federal Reserve could raise its benchmark interest rate in June as hiring
continues to improve. Policy makers
have held their main rate close to zero
for more than six years to help the
economy recover from the Great
Recession.
Thursdays slide in the dollar and the
positive news on the banks more than
outweighed a government report that
showed retail sales were sluggish in
February. The ongoing weakness is
raising concerns about the strength of
the economy.
Retail sales remain poor despite a
big drop in gas prices last year. U.S.
retail sales fell in February as auto purchases dropped by the most in more
than a year and Americans spent less at
restaurants and home improvement
stores. Retail sales fell 0.6 percent
last month after a 0.8 percent decline
in January, the Commerce Department
said Thursday. It was the third straight
drop.
Many investors think its only a
matter of time before consumers start
to spend again, particularly if gas
prices stay low and wages start to rise.
Were still set up for a good back-

half of the year, said Michael

Scanlon, a senior investment analyst
at John Hancock Asset Management.
People are going to start spending
that money that they are saving on fuel
... and were definitely seeing green
shoots of wage inflation.
Among individual stocks, Intel was
the biggest decliner in the S&P 500.
Intel cut its revenue forecast for the
first quarter to $12.5 billion to $13.1
billion. The company cited weak
demand for business desktop PCs and a
strong dollar, which diminished revenue from overseas sales. Intels stock
slumped $1.53, or 4.7 percent, to
$30.80.
Morgan Stanley was the biggest
gainer in the index.
The bank and other financial stocks
gained after the Fed approved their
plans to raise dividends and buy back
shares. The announcements follow
regulatory tests that assess whether
lenders have adequate reserves to withstand a major economic downturn.
Morgan Stanley gained $2.14, or
6.1 percent, to $37.09 after announcing a $3.1 billion stock buyback and
raising its dividend to 15 cents from
10 cents.
Citigroup was another big gainer. Its
stock rose $1.75, or 3.3 percent, to
$54.08 after the bank announced late
Wednesday that it would buy back $7.8
billion in stock and raise its quarterly
dividend to 5 cents from 1 cent.

Googles safe browsing system

targets unwanted software
By Michael Liedtke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Get ready to see more

red warning signs online as Google adds
ammunition to its technological artillery for
targeting devious schemes lurking on websites.
The latest weapon is aimed at websites riddled with unwanted software a term that
Google uses to describe secretly installed
programs that can change a browsers settings without a users permission. Those
revisions can unleash a siege of aggravating
ads or redirect a browsers users to search
engines or other sites that they didnt intend
to visit.
Google had already deployed the warning
system to alert users of its Chrome browser
that they were about to enter a site distributing unwanted software. The Mountain View,
California, company just recently began to
feed the security information into a broader
safe browsing application that also works
in Apples Safari and Mozillas Firefox
browsers.

All told, the safe browsing application

protects about 1.1 billion browser users,
according to a Thursday blog post that
Google Inc. timed to coincide with the 26th
anniversary of the date when Tim BernersLee is widely credited for inventing the
World Wide Web.
Microsofts Internet Explorer doesnt tap
into Googles free safe browsing application. Instead, Explorer depends on a similar
warning system, the SmartScreen Filter.
Googles alerts about unwanted software
build upon the warnings that the safe browsing system has already been delivering for
years about sites infected with malware, programs carrying viruses and other sinister
coding, and phishing sites that try to dupe
people into sharing passwords or credit card
information.
Whenever a potential threat is detected by
the safe browsing system, it displays a red
warning sign advising a user to stay away.
Google also is demoting the nettlesome
sites in the rankings of its dominant Internet
search engine so people are less likely to
come across them in the first place.

Fake IRS agents target more

than 366,000 in huge tax scam
By Stephen Ohlemacher
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Fake IRS agents have

targeted more than 366,000 people with
harassing phone calls demanding payments
and threatening jail as part of a huge nationwide tax scam that has cost taxpayers $15.5
million.
More than 3,000 people have fallen for
the ruse since 2013, Timothy Camus, a
Treasury deputy inspector general for tax
administration, said Thursday.
The scam has claimed victims in almost
every state, Camus said. One unidentified
victim lost more than $500,000.
The criminals do not discriminate. They
are calling people everywhere, of all
income levels and backgrounds, Camus
told the Senate Finance Committee at a hearing. The number of complaints we have
received about this scam make it the largest,
most pervasive impersonation scam in the

history of our agency.

The scam is so widespread that investigators believe there is more than one group of
perpetrators, including some overseas.
Camus said even he received a call from
one of the scammers at his home on a
Saturday. He said he had a stern message for
the caller: Your day will come.
So far, Camus said, two people in Florida
have been arrested. They were accused of
being part of a scam that involved people in
call centers in India contacting U.S. taxpayers and pretending to be IRS agents.
These criminal acts are perpetrated by
thieves hiding behind telephone lines and
computers, preying on honest taxpayers
and robbing the Treasury of tens of billions
of dollars every year, said Sen. Orrin
Hatch, R-Utah, chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee. Taxpayers must be
more aware of the risks and better protected
from attack and these criminals must be
found and brought to justice.

Panthers too much for rival

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The Burlingame and San Mateo softball

teams faced off in game of rivals Thursday
afternoon.
While the rivalry itself was enough to pack
the two small sets of bleachers behind the
backstop at San Mateos field, its evident
that these teams are definitely in different
divisions.
Burlingame plays in the Peninsula Athletic
Leagues Bay Division one of the
strongest in the Central Coast Section. With
San Mateo playing in the PAL Ocean, it added
up to a 15-2 win for the Panthers in a game
that was called after five innings because of
the 10-run mercy rule.
Burlingame (3-0) banged out 14 hits
against a pair of San Mateo pitchers. Emily
Williams paced the Panther attack by going
2 for 3 with three runs scored and five runs
driven in four on a third-inning grand
slam. Rachel Topper finished with three hits
for Burlingame, while Melissa Guevara,
Kaylee McDonald and Haley Crowell all had
two hits.
Crowell and Guevara each had two RBIs as
well. Topper and Kat Marcan had one RBI
apiece.
San Mateo, on the other hand, managed
only four hits one each from Jerica
Chavarin, Paige Stoveland, Breana Picchi
and Julise Roman.
I give them a lot of credit. They battled,
said San Mateo coach Randy Boardman of his
team. They didnt put their heads down.
San Mateo was further hampered by the fact
it was missing four starters. Burlingame,
however, was far from healthy. No. 1 pitcher
Sara Slavsky got hurt Saturday and is expected to be out three to four weeks. Samantha
Dean has come on in her stead and, other than
a shaky couple of innings, she kept San
Mateo in check, allowing just two runs on
the four hits, with four strikeouts and four
walks.
Shes working through a little injury,
said Burlingame coach Doug McKeever. I
thought she pitched pretty good. She doesnt
have confidence in some pitches, so thats

night.
The Padres are the last county team to
open Northern California tournament play
when they travel across the San MateoHayward Bridge to meet Moreau CatholicHayward in the first round of the Open

There is no easing into this tournament as
the Padres will have a tough task against a
very good Mariners squad, but the Padres are
used to nothing but tough tasks.
Here is a look at the matchup.

S: The Padres had one of their best seasons of this decade, winning a co-West
Catholic Athletic League title along with
the Central Coast Section Open Division.
They had been to five straight championship games before breaking through
against St. Francis last weekend.
MC: The Mariners might be the top team
in Northern California if not for the presence of Oaklands Bishop ODowd. They
went unbeaten in winning the Mission

Caada big men poised for big stage

Colts open final four basketball tourney Friday against Saddleback
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

TERRY BERNAL/DAILY JOURNAL

Caada College mens coach Mike Reynoso

has guided the Colts to their first final four
appearance since 1994.

The Caada mens basketball team is difficult to dissect on paper.

The Colts leading scorer this season has
been sixth-man Rohndell Goodwin with a
17-point average. Off guard Israel Hakim
leads the team with a 53.2 shooting percentage. They have six players, all within
percentage points of one another, who average between 1.2 and 1.6 steals per game.
To talk with Caada head coach Mike
Reynoso, however, his sum-of-its-parts

roster revolves around one player freshman center Rodrigo Puliceno.

Sophomore forward Manny Martin has
been Caadas top rebounder this season.
According to Reynoso, however, it has
been Puliceno the freshman four years
removed from his senior season at
Burlingame who has ruled the paint. At a
husky 6-4, Puliceno is generally charged
with manning defense against opponents
biggest post threats; and in doing so, he

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Skyline baseball (4-2 in Coast Pacific,

11-6 overall) was the best hitting team in
the state entering into play Thursday, but
ran into a buzz-saw in Cabrillo starting
pitcher Ryan Capozza.
The sophomore right-hander fired a fivehit shutout as the Seahawks (5-2, 12-7)
rolled to a 3-0 victory at Cabrillo. With the
win, Capozza improves his record to 5-0.
The Seahawks ace has now thrown 27 consecutive scoreless innings and has yet to
surrender a run through four appearances in
the Coast Conference play.
Hes been pretty good, Cabrillo manager Bob Kittle said. He throws three pitches
for strikes and he works at a good tempo.

Warriors try to get an edge even while sleeping

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Steve Kerr has no problem

putting aside his cellphone late at night and
grabbing a book before bed.
The Golden State coach, fighting a bit of a
March cold, does find himself reminding
wife Margot not to wake up and send text
messages in the middle of the night and
interfere with her shuteye. Theyve been
married almost 25 years, so he can get away
with it.
Kerr is making sure his Warriors get plenty of sleep, too, thanks to a recent session
with a sleep expert from Stanford who visited practice.
I know how important recovery is, AllStar guard Klay Thompson said. We play
such a long season. And I love to sleep, so it
was good hearing that if you want to be at
optimal peak performance youve got to get
your eight hours, or at least try to. You cant
be hanging out long hours at night.
Cheri Mah of Stanford met with the team
at practice last week. The Warriors appreciate any tips they can get during the grind of
the seasons final month. She is a researcher

at the Stanford Sleep

Disorders Clinic and
Research Laboratory.
For
Western
C o n f e r e n c e - l e a di n g
Golden State (51-12),
this is an especially grueling week of flights and
changes in climate. The
Klay Thompson Warriors played at home
Sunday afternoon, in
Phoenix on Monday night, were back home
Wednesday against Detroit, then off to
Denver on Thursday. Kerrs plan was to practice in the Mile High City upon arrival to
shake off any sluggishness, then play the
Nuggets on Friday.
After that, its back to the Bay Area to host
the Knicks on Saturday to kick off a sixgame homestand.
Golden State director of athletic performance Keke Lyles keeps on players to stay
hydrated and get their sleep. He approached
Kerr at the beginning of the season to recommend contacting a sleep expert after
some players had issues last year.
We try to stay on top of all that. Its
almost impossible to stay 100 percent the

whole NBA season with all the travel and

stuff going around, Kerr said, then shared
what he has learned: Put your phone in a different place than beside your bed, charge it
in a different room so youre not tempted to
wake up in the middle of the night and look
at it. And dont spend the last 20 minutes
before bed looking at your phone or watching TV. Pick up a book, read a book, calm
your mind a little bit.
Kerr planned to rest players as he could
this week. With the travel and quick turnarounds, he has realized off days need to be
just that.
A few tips from Seahawks coach Pete
Carroll perhaps?
Pete doesnt deserve credit for everything
we do, cracked Kerr, who attended a Seattle
training camp practice last summer to learn
from the Super Bowl-winning coach.
Mah, who has worked with other NBA
teams along with NFL and NHL franchises,
notes sleep is often forgotten as an essential
tool for elite athletes to perform at their
peak.
Its one of the first things we sacrifice but
one of the most important, Mah said
Thursday. Changing time zones frequently,

Busy day for Oakland As

By Rick Eymer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MESA, Ariz. Scott Kazmir pitched 2 2-3 innings in

his first spring start and the Oakland Athletics rallied to
beat the Seattle Mariners 4-3 Thursday.
Kazmir gave up two unearned runs and three hits. He
walked two and struck out four.
Austin Jackson tripled and singled and Nelson Cruz,
Justin Ruggiano and Jesus Montero each drove in runs for
the Mariners.
Im just making sure I am staying consistent,
Jackson said. I want to get my timing down and not focus
on results too much.
Jordan Pries, a Mariners minor leaguer, went three
innings, giving up a run and one hit. He walked one and
struck out four.
Funnyman Will Ferrell played shortstop for Oakland in
the top of the first and later was at second base for Seattle.
No balls were hit to the actor.
Ferrell planned to play for 10 teams in five games during the day, spending time at every position. The adventure was being filmed for an HBO special Ferrell is dedicating to fighting cancer.

The other guy

Ferrell started his day as the As shortstop and was eventually traded to the Mariners in time to play an inning
at second base.
All I wanted to do was turn around and see what he was
doing back there, Kazmir said. I heard him pretty much
every pitch.
Said Pries: I knew he was out there. I never would have
thought that Will Ferrell would play second base behind
me. I threw a cutter and he yelled, I like that . bleep. I
looked at him and thought OK, great.

Starting time
Mari ners : Pries will likely start the season in the

minors but knows he can show the organization something with a good effort in his first major league spring
training camp. I take the approach that this is exactly
the club to be with, he said. The chemistry and attitude
feels right. Im excited about this year and I want to be
ready for whatever happens. Im forming relationships
on and off the field and Im glad for the team to get to
know me.
Pries did not allow another hit after giving up a leadoff
triple. Thats something I take pride in, he said. If stuff
starts to go wrong, and in this case it was the first pitch,
to have the poise and just getting back on the mound.
Athl eti cs : Kazmir was happiest about being able to
get the adrenaline going. He pitched three simulated
games leading up to his first start. You can pitch as many
simulated games as you want, you dont have that adrenaline going into a game, he said. I feel like I was amped
up a little bit more than in the past. Whether if it was
because Will Ferrell was there or not, I dont know.
Kazmir said he felt better as he went along. In the
beginning my delivery, everything, was a little off,
Kazmir said. I felt good later on. The third inning I felt I
was where I wanted to be.

Trainers room
Mari ners : RHP Hisashi Iwakuma was slated to throw a
simulated game in Peoria. The 34-year-old has appeared in
one game, throwing two perfect innings, this spring.
Athl eti cs : IF Rangel Ravelo will undergo right wrist
surgery on Friday.

that can affect circadian rhythms. Really, it

was addressing improving and optimizing
sleep and recovery.
The Warriors arent the only Bay Area team
getting a little sleep guidance.
The World Series champion San Francisco
Giants do so, and careful planning might
have helped the franchise capture its third
championship in five years last fall.
Athletic trainer Dave Groeschner consults
regularly with Dr. Chris Winter, medical
director of the Martha Jefferson Hospital
Sleep Medicine Center in Charlottesville,
Virginia.
Mah has studied the effects of sleep to
reaction time, mood, and daytime sleepiness, showing that performance improves
in college basketball players when they are
well-rested.
For Warriors center Andrew Bogut, timing
his nap is paramount. He plans to visit further with Mah to gather more ideas. She said
many NBA players nap 2 to 3 hours on a
game day, which might leave them groggy
afterward rather than more alert.
Im open to suggestions, anything that
can help generate recovery, Bogut said.
She said 30-minute naps are better.

Sports brief
RB Murray leaving Dallas for Philly
DeMarco Murray got the money he wanted from his former
teams biggest rival.
The All-Pro running back agreed Thursday to a five-year
contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. Murrays deal was
valued at $42 million, with $21 million guaranteed, according to a person familiar with the deal who spoke on condition of anonymity because terms werent disclosed.
Wearing a gray suit, white shirt and black tie, Murray
arrived at team headquarters with his fiancee, Heidi Mueller,
on Thursday afternoon.
Less than two hours later, the Eagles confirmed they had
reached agreement on a three-year contract with former San
Diego running back Ryan Mathews.
The tandem joins Darren Sproles and Chris Polk in a
crowded backfield.
Murray helped the Cowboys win the NFC East title last
season while rushing for a franchise-record 1,845 yards. He
broke the Dallas record held by NFL career rushing leader
Emmitt Smith and also set a league mark with eight straight
100-yard games to start the season.
Murray will replace two-time All-Pro LeSean McCoy, the
NFLs rushing leader in 2013. Coach Chip Kelly traded
McCoy to Buffalo last week in a flurry of stunning moves.
The Eagles swapped quarterbacks with St. Louis on
Tuesday, sending Nick Foles to the Rams for Sam Bradford.
They also let Pro Bowl wide receiver Jeremy Maclin sign a
free-agent deal with Kansas City.
The Eagles appeared to replace McCoy with Frank Gore,
but he backed out of a deal and signed with Indianapolis.

Martin, who at 24 is even older than
Puliceno, was a freshman at Caada under
then Colts head coach Pete Diepenbrock.
And while Puliceno and Martin didnt meet
until prior to this season, Martin said he
was impressed with Pulicenos post dominance upon first impressions.
Me and Diepenbrock were recruiting him
and I watched him play, Martin said. I
fell in love with that dude. He was a monster.

height department, as do Puliceno and
Martin.
But Reynoso has his big men geared up to
attack the matchup with the dominance that
has earned Caada a 24-6 overall record.
Theyre going to be immense, Reynoso
said. Rodrigo is going to be key in really

really give them problems.

Serra probably doesnt have the horses to

Raiders sign free

agent S Nate Allen
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA The Oakland

Raiders added another new starter to
their defense, signing former
Philadelphia safety Nate Allen to a
four-year contract on Thursday to
fill the hole created when Tyvon
Branch was released.
General
manager
Reggie
McKenzie has been busy to start the
free agency period, having already
added new starting defensive tackle
Dan Williams and middle linebacker
Curtis Lofton, as well as linebacker
Malcolm Smith, to a defense that
allowed the most points in the NFL
last season.
With a new defensive-minded
coach in Jack Del Rio, an energetic
coordinator in Ken Norton Jr. and
plenty of money to spend, the
Raiders have already made some
upgrades this offseason.
I just fell in love with everything and the direction that the
organization is going and the
coaching staff they brought in and
the group of guys that we have
here, Allen said. Its a great thing
and like Ive been saying, were
planning on winning now. Were
not trying to rebuild and try to do
this or do that, were trying to make
something happen now, this year.
The Raiders have won just 11
games the past three seasons and
have gone 11 straight years without
a playoff berth or winning record.
But they hope that improvements
in free agency, which also include

the additions of starting center

Rodney Hudson, running back Roy
Helu and blocking tight end Lee
Smith, will help turn their fortunes.
The Raiders had interest in signing Allen last offseason but he
ended up staying in Philadelphia
when he was only offered a one-year
deal. Oakland went after him again
this offseason and got him locked
up with the long-term deal.
I had always known there was
interest there, and then this year,
right when free agency started up,
they were there again, knocking,
Allen said. The interest has always
been there and I just needed to come
out here and visit and see what was
going on. I fell in love with everything out here.
Allen said he was excited to play
for secondary coaches Marcus
Robertson and Rod Woodson, who
were both All-Pro players at the
position in their careers.
Allen also was attracted by the
opportunity to play alongside
Charles Woodson. The two had
lunch Wednesday during Allens
visit with the team.
Allen started 69 games in five
seasons after being picked by
Philadelphia in the second round in
2010. He has experience playing
both strong and free safety.
He had 10 interceptions, 28 passes defensed, four sacks, three forced
fumbles and three fumble recoveries
with the Eagles. Allen had a careerhigh four interceptions last season.

OIL PAINTINGS BY BILL SARNOFF AT THE SAN

MATEO MAIN LIB RARY ART GALLERY. Bill
Sarnoffs artist parents inspired him to follow in their footsteps, and now that he is retired, he is following his dream
of pursuing art full time. Sarnoff said: I grew up in the
Midwest. My parents were both art majors at Cooper Union
in New York City in the 1930s and moved to St. Louis after
college. I was always encouraged by them to pursue a career
in art and therefore never considered other studies. I attended the University of Missouri where I received a bachelor
and master degree in ne arts with a minor in art history.
Moving to the Bay Area after college I worked for Silicon
Valley technology companies starting as a professional
illustrator and graphic designer then moving into positions
managing creative groups. Sarnoff has always been inuenced by the great Impressionists and has incorporated this
inuence in his pastels and oils. Sarnoff said, I am fascinated with the composition and surface technique of the
great masters: Velazquez, Rembrandt, Gainsborough and
Reynolds and am presently working on a series of paintings
interpreting their style with the modern world. Sarnoffs
work may currently be seen in the First Floor Art Gallery at
the San Mateo Main Library, 55 W. Third Ave. near
Downtown San Mateo, through March 27. Sarnoff is scheduled to participate in Silicon Valley Open Studios on May 23. For more information visit svos.org.

Disney sets Frozen sequel; shareholder proposals nixed

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Disney said Thursday it is developing a

sequel to its hit Frozen movie and will release a new Star
Wars movie in 2017.
The Walt Disney Co. also said at its annual meeting in
San Francisco that investors had voted down shareholder
proposals that would have separated the CEO and chairman
role. They also rejected a proposal related to paying executives stock awards if Disney is bought.
The companys board had recommended voting against
both proposals.
Bob Iger has been CEO since 2005 and chairman as of

2012. He received $43.7 million in total compensation last

year, up 27 percent from the previous year. Disney had a
blockbuster year in 2014 thanks to the popularity of
Frozen and other films, along with strong results from its
parks.
A meeting attendee asked Iger for a raise for Disney
employees, too. The CEO noted that, after agreeing last
year to increase base pay to $10 an hour for employees covered by one of its largest unions, Disney has extended that
commitment to all hourly employees of the company.
Other major U.S. companies have also recently said they
will raise employee pay in the next few years, including
Wal-Mart, TJX and Gap.

Expires 3/31/15

In response to another shareholder question, Iger said the

company had expanded its policy of not showing smoking
in movies aimed at young people to include films made by
its Marvel and Lucasfilm units. That rule had applied to
Disney-branded movies and Pixar movies.
Disneys movies have had a strong run, in the past two
years winning Academy Awards for Frozen, Big Hero 6
and Feast, an animated short film.
Frozen made nearly $1.3 billion at the box office and
inspired masses of toys, clothing and other merchandise as
well as a devoted following of young girls.
The sequel, Frozen 2, will have the same directors,
Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee.

HUMANITY
Continued from page 16
Cinderella is ingrained in the worlds consciousness, its also as outdated as a fairy
tale can be.
So why are audiences now getting an
expensive retelling of the passi bedtime
story, 65 years after Disney released its animated classic and just months after the
screen version of Into the Woods poked
fun at the idea of insincere princes and delusional princesses?
For one, Disneys live-action adaptations
of its animated properties have become big
business for the studio. Between Alice in
Wonderland (2010) and Maleficent
(2014), Disney has grossed nearly $2 billion worldwide from mining their archives
for material to update. The studio already
has a live-action Beauty and the Beast and
an Alice sequel in development.
And yet, despite the too-obvious business
objectives, there is nothing cynical about
the latest Cinderella, which hits theaters
on Friday.

WEEKEND JOURNAL
I wanted Cinderella, without being
entirely a dreamer, to see life not as it is but
what it could be, says director Kenneth
Branagh, who was excited to get the heroine
out of a time warp.
To cast his leads, Branagh applied the
same theory as he did when helping to pick
Chris Hemsworth for Thor: Choose relative unknowns. He landed on Lily James of
the British show Downton Abbey which
airs on PBS, and Richard Madden, a vet of
HBOs Game of Thrones.
Instead of making Cinderella dark and
gritty or dystopian, which Branagh
believes have become clichid, he and
screenwriter Chris Weitz (About a Boy)
imagined a world where shes guided by a
steadfast belief in kindness. Its a message
that Ella learns as a child and holds dear as
things worsen under the rule of her spiteful
stepmother (Cate Blanchett) and vain,
doltish stepsisters (Holliday Grainger and
Sophie McShera).
The film succeeds because of its sincerity.
We couldnt ever jump out of the movie
and say, You know, this is a bit silly and
were much cooler than this, by the way.
Were daring to take this seriously,
Branagh said in a joint interview.

Branagh encouraged James to read

Mohandas Gandhis works and other writings on spiritual journeys to prepare for her
role, hoping that she could incorporate the
idea of nonviolent resistance into the character.
We present this world where we see the
grown-up Cinderella for the first time reading a book. Theres a curious mind in the
house. Its legit for her to have a sophisticated response to her position, Branagh
said.
The old fashioned view of a damsel in
distress who needs a man to come and save
her from her life is irrelevant and not a message we should be telling children these
days, added Madden.
But Cinderella isnt the only one given
depth. All the characters are crafted with
complexities, including the prince.
I just wanted to make a man who was worthy of Cinderellas affections and love. She
is this amazing, strong, brave woman. She
doesnt need the prince, Madden said.
The leads are lively and excitable together, even after weeks of international travel
and hotel-bound press sessions and the
knowledge that their promotional tour is
not even close to finished.
Well Disney gives us these shots every

THE DAILY JOURNAL

morning, Madden joked of his boundless
energy.
On the screen, their PG-rated chemistry is
undeniable. Branagh orchestrated things so
that they didnt interact much before filming. He even planned out the shoot to begin
with their first encounter.
Ken wanted to capture the energy of two
young people meeting for the first time,
said James.
To make things even more uncertain,
Branagh put both on horseback and had
them circling one another throughout the
scene, allowing them the freedom to improvise.
It added a tension which was good for the
scene, said Branagh. The audience intuits
that it seems to be happening before our
very eyes.
While Madden and James do seem enormously comfortable with one another, their
off-screen relationship is a professional
one. During a photo shoot, James was asked
to pose with one hand on Maddens chest.
But doesnt this make us look like a couple? she asked. Like, Lily and Richard,
not the Prince and Cinderella.
In addition to his leads onscreen relationship, Branagh was especially consumed
with doing justice to the ball.

style cad. And the evil stepmother? Shes not, like Angelina
Jolies Maleficent, merely misunderstood; As embodied by
Cate Blanchett, she remains evil to the core. (Though it
must be said: Evil has never looked quite so fabulous.)
What Cinderella IS, though, is touching, visually stunning, and very satisfying. Director Kenneth Branagh,
working with a high-wattage cast led by the winsome and
genuine Lily James, sticks to tried-and-true narrative formula, and infuses it with wit and style. If the glass slipper aint
broke, he seems to be saying, why fix it?
A prologue shows us Cinderellas childhood, as a little
girl named Ella a lovely thing whos kind to all, and has
a way of communing with animals. She lives in a rambling
country home with her loving parents (Hayley Atwell, Ben
Chaplin), and all is perfect until, of course, Cinderellas
mother takes ill and dies.
It wont be long before Dad, so sweet but so inexplicably
clueless, will take up with the widowed Lady Tremaine , who
arrives with her two dim-witted daughters and starts rearranging things. We all know how bad things will get, but
when Blanchett shows up with her raven hair, her chic 40s-

WEEKEND JOURNAL
style glamour and the first of many jaw-dropping dresses
(via masterful costume designer Sandy Powell), well, its
hard not to secretly root for a villain with such stunning
fashion sense.
But we digress. The storys about Cinderella, as her mean
stepsisters re-name Ella when they see her sweet face, dirtied by cinders. Already relegated to the attic, her life
changes for good when her father dies, rendering her not
only an orphan but a slave, too.
Out in the forest one day, Cinderella encounters a steed
being chased by hunters. She admonishes the lead hunter
a young man called Kit to be kind and spare the animal.
Her logic and pluck charm Kit, who of course is Prince
Charming (a ridiculously attractive, azure-eyed Richard
Madden). This chance meeting is perhaps the most obvious
detour that screenwriter Chris Weitz takes from the traditional tale.
Back at the palace, we see Kit struggling against his duty
to marry for wealth and advantage. Desperate to see that
country girl again, he opens the upcoming ball to all
women in the kingdom. But Lady Tremaine, more sinister
by the moment, forbids Cinderella to attend; she even rips
the dress that the girl has lovingly resuscitated from her
mothers closet.
Natch, this is where Fairy Godmother turns up, in the
campy, fun-loving personage of Helena Bonham Carter,

whos a bit rusty with the magic but ends up transforming a

pink frock into an ice-blue confection fit for a princess, and
a pumpkin into the most gorgeous gilded carriage youve
ever seen. The goose becomes the chauffeur I cant
drive, Im a goose! he protests and the crowning touch
is, of course, the glass slippers. (Youll find theyre really
comfortable, Godmother notes, hilariously.)
The palace ball is as sumptuous as any little girl could
want (kudos to production designer Dante Ferretti), and
Branagh makes the ending, that magical moment where the
slipper fits, as suspenseful as it can be when weve all
known the story our whole lives.
There IS a message here, and it may disappoint anyone
looking for a new feminist heroine to emerge from the cinders. Its about kindness and forgiveness, and sticking to
your life ethos no matter what confronts you.
Hardly revolutionary. But somehow, like that glass slipper, it fits just right.
Cinderella, a Walt Disney Studios release, is rated PG by
the Motion Picture Association of America for mild thematic elements. Running time: 112 minutes. Three stars
out of four.

DEFICIT
Continued from page 1
The district has been facing a $2.1
million deficit this year and approved
the cuts to teachers to close the gap,
much to the chagrin of residents and
educators who have rallied to keep cuts
away from the classroom.
Julia Maynard, president of the
teachers union, expressed disappointment regarding the boards decision.
Its sad, he said. We are going to
lose a lot of great teachers.
Superintendent David Hutt said he
regretted seeing the board making the
cuts, but felt they were necessary.
Its a very difficult decision, but it
was the decision that needed to be made
to maintain fiscal solvency, said
Hutt.
Blanco said she opposed laying
teachers off because she felt the district could do more to trim from spending on third-party consultants, and
would prefer to find other ways to balance the budget than slashing jobs.
I just thought we didnt dive into
that part of the budget, she said.
Letting our staff go should be the last
resort.
She said she hoped that the board and
administration could still find time to
dive deeper into consultant spending,
before the districts final budget is
approved.

students away.
Two assistant principal positions, a
counselor, language arts teachers, an
outreach specialist, reading teachers
and counselor jobs were also cut in the
decision.
Board president Dennis McBride said
officials regretted making the cuts, but
they are necessary.
We really hate to do this, nobody
likes it and nobody wants to do it, he
said. But financially, weve got to
keep the district solvent.
The district is expected to suffer a
$1.5 million deficit, which is partially
fueled by shrinking enrollment,
because the district receives money
from the state based on average daily
attendance.
The district is expected to enroll 829
fewer students next year, to 8,012 students, and by another 343 students the
following year, according to a district
report.
KIPP Excelencia Preparatory and
Rocketship Education charter schools
are slated to join the district next year,
which officials claim is the biggest
drain of enrollment.
Nearly 700 students are expected to
attend the charter schools in their first

WEEKEND JOURNAL
have offered to take control of the
special education transportation services, which is currently outsourced,
with hopes to save the district hundreds of thousands of dollars in spending.
The financial status of the district
remains in flux as well, as it recently
switched classification to basic aid,
which changes its funding model to
being driven by property taxes. But it
remains on the border of being considered revenue limit, which would switch
it back to being funded by the state,
said interim Chief Business Official
Terri Ryland.
Gary Pettinari, head of the classified
union, said he felt it was the responsibility of the district employees, officials and community members to work
together to solve the budget crisis.
We should all work together to correct the issues that have come before
us, he said.
Parents have become increasingly
involved, as the budget woes have
continued to harm the districts ability
to retain teachers, said Maynard.
Educators have requested their first
raise in a decade, but officials responded with a proposal to cut salaries. The
two parties are currently awaiting
mediation.
Maynard said teacher morale has suffered in the wake of the cuts being
approved.
People at all the schools are frustrated, they feel as though the district
doesnt value them, she said.
Parents and students rallied together

in support of teachers before the board

meeting Wednesday night, which followed some families staging a sickout
last week when only 60 of the 350 students at Belle Air Elementary School
attended class, in a sign of solidarity
for the struggles of educators.
Pettinari said he hopes relationships
between the community, employees
and administration will improve once
replacements for Hutt and Ryland have
been found.
Hutt will leave the district after the
school year, following the Board of
Trustees ousting him from his position in the wake of his recommendation to close one of the districts
neighborhood schools.
Shuttering schools has been a contentious issue in the district, following the closure and sale of Carl
Sandburg Elementary, which brought
the district $30.5 million in 2005.
The district has been drawing from
the revenue of that sale for years to pay
bills, but as the money has dried up,
officials are now forced to consider
other, more obtrusive, methods of balancing the budget.
Last month, the Board of Trustees
agreed to make 1 percent pay reductions to all district staff, but the cuts
cannot be implemented without consent in collective bargaining.
Maynard said budget process has
been painful, but appreciates the support from the community that teachers
have enjoyed.
To see that level of support from
the parents means a lot, she said.

year, according to a district report.

McBride said he felt compassion for
the teachers who would be laid off,
forced to pack up their classroom at the
end of the semester and spend the interim months wondering whether they
will be rehired or if they should look for
work elsewhere.
He said he hopes the district will be
able to find more money during the
budget process, which could allow officials to ultimately retain some of the
teachers who were laid off.
Its one of the worst things as a
school board member, he said. You
have these loyal employees who work
all year and then you have to give them
a pink slip. Its just terrible.
Josh Griffith, principal at Fair Oaks
Elementary School, echoed those sentiments.
Hopefully we can hire them back,
he said. Its devastating, it really is. To
lose a job and then have to go look for
work again ... its just unfortunate that
it has to be done.
A third charter school, Connect
Community Charter School, is on the
campus of Fair Oaks Elementary
School.
Also at the meeting, the board unanimously approved establishing middle
school classes to the campus at Fair
Oaks Elementary School.
Parents of students at the school,
located east of El Camino Real, at 2950
Fair Oaks Ave., have called for sixth-,

seventh- and eighth-grade classes to be

added, due to difficulties associated with
sending their children across town to
attend middle school.
Prior to the boards decision, the district sent out more than 200 surveys
asking parents whether they would support middle school classes at Fair Oaks
Elementary School, and received virtually no opposition, according to a district report.
McBride said the board is proud to
offer middle school classes to members
of the school community who have
long yearned for the opportunity.
Its a big deal for our families, he
said.
Under approval, the school will
begin offering sixth-grade classes next
year, and will continue folding in a new
class over the following two years until
a comprehensive K-8 school is formed.
The school is expected to grow by
nearly 90 students once all the middle
school classes are added.
Griffith said the school community is
enthusiastic to begin offering the classes, and planning has already begun to
develop the curriculum.
The sky is the limit right now, he
said. We are very happy, this is really
a good thing. Everyone is so happy
they can stay in their own community.
Trustee Hilary Paulson was absent
from the vote to add middle school
classes to Fair Oaks Elementary
School.
