Cities moving to clean energy

Twenty municipalities sign on to new county program, PG&E launches solar program

Nearly 300, 000 PG&E customers in San Mateo County will

get their energy from renewable
sources by the end of the year as
all 20 of the countys cities have

College district studies

need for armed security
By Jeanita Lyman
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

Arming security at San Mateo

Countys three community colleges is a possibility being
explored by the district, local law
enforcement and members of the
community, spurred by recent incidents of campus violence throughout the nation and state, according
to district officials.
The decision to conduct a study
was made following last years
attack at Umpqua Community
College, which does not have
armed security, and further fueled
when violence hit as close to

home as Sacramento City College.

Although the San Mateo County
Community College District
Board of Trustees works closely
with local law enforcement, it is
currently one of two such districts
in the Bay Area without armed
security, leading officials to wonder if following suit would better
prepare their campuses for a worstcase scenario.
The study will do an analysis of
trends both nationwide and
throughout the state, said Jose
Nunez, vice chancellor of the San

Agency: Cities evading

affordable housing law
Surplus Land Act dictates how government agencies should sell property
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Cities within San Mateo County are trying to evade the Surplus Land Act, which
could provide thousands of affordable
homes in the area to address the worsening
housing crisis, according to the nonprofit
Housing Leadership Council.
The agency sent out an email to members
and supporters last week that contends our
jurisdictions are ignoring the law.
The act dictates that all public agencies
including cities, counties, transit agencies,
school districts and special tax districts
must prioritize affordable housing when disposing of surplus land.

Redevelopment agencies
HLCs Executive Director Evelyn Stivers
noted the South San Francisco City
Councils action Thursday night to approve
a 272-unit apartment complex downtown to
be built on land formerly owned by the
citys redevelopment agency.
Stivers said the move is out of compliance
with the Surplus Land Act because the city
did not solicit interest from affordable housing developers and give the first right of
refusal before the land was offered to market
rate developers.

Its another missed opportunity to build

affordable housing and risky for the city
because it opens it up to litigation, Stivers
said.
South San Francisco City Manager Mike
Futrell disputes Stivers claim, however.
Redevelopment agencies were the primary
tools for cities to build affordable housing
until the state dissolved them in 2011.
When RDAs were dissolved, cities formed
successor agencies to wind down the former
agencys activities.
Successor agencies are not included in
the language of the Surplus Land Act, Futrell
said.
Successor agency property is not surplus
property, he said.
Stivers said its a creative way to get
around the law just as San Jose claims the
law doesnt apply to it because it is a charter city.
A project proposed for San Mateo County
Transit District Land also skirts the Surplus
Land Act since there is no requirement the
project provide 15 percent of the units to be
affordable to lower-income households,
Stivers said.
The Bay Area Rapid Transit agency recently passed a requirement of all new developments to include affordable housing when
the agency started receiving letters from

lawyers on the Surplus Land Act in response

to the recently approved Millbrae BART station development, Stivers said.
The act is important, she said, because rising rents are creating tidal waves of displacement throughout the Bay Area.
The current housing crisis has forced
many workers in the county to commute
long distances, which worsens traffic and
makes it more difficult for businesses to
attract and maintain qualified workers, she
said.

High cost of land

The high cost of land in the county makes
it a challenge to build affordable housing
which highlights the importance of following the Surplus Land Act, she said.
Futrell said South San Francisco is committed to building more affordable housing.
Please make no mistake, however
South San Francisco strongly supports
affordable housing. We have nearly 1,000
affordable units in operation currently in
the city, representing a city investment of
over $34 million and have numerous new
affordable housing projects underway. The
lack of affordable housing in this one project is not a change in priorities, Futrell
wrote in an email about the just approved
project.

Long road to recovery

after devastating fire
By Janie Har
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIDDLETOWN A real estate

agent waits to rebuild her home on
the same lot she fled in September,
mourning the animals she couldnt
save and the family heirlooms she
left behind as one of the most devastating wildfires to hit California
wiped out her rural subdivision.
Another evacuee survived the
deadly wildfire with just a singed
house, but now faces eviction. And
a self-described hermit who is
grieving the breeding parrots he
lost, beats back despair as he surveys the blackened land around his
ranch.

Ugly
I moved here because it was the
most beautiful place I had ever
encountered in my life. I said this
is it, said Lawrence Ross. And
now its one of the ugliest places
Ive ever seen in my life.
Five months after the Valley Fire
killed four and wiped out 1,300
homes in Lake County, many residents face personal and logistical
hurdles that put full recovery years
away, if ever, for some.
The Sept. 12 fire torched nearly
120 square miles and caused at
least $700 million in insured dam-

ages, making it the fifth costliest

wildfire in state and U.S. history
in terms of insured losses.
The county of 64,000 people is
renowned for its remote beauty,
privacy and an outdoor recreation
industry centered on Clear Lake,
the largest freshwater lake entirely
within California. Today, skeletal
pines and charred tree stumps litter
a portion of it.
Theres also the threat of flooding and mudslides as forecasters
warn of El Nino storms that could
quickly saturate fire-scarred land
unable to absorb heavy rain.
In woodsy Anderson Springs, a
former resort with a bubbling
creek where only about 20 of 200
homes survived, green metal
address markers are staked where
houses once stood.
A lot of the people are on the
fence about rebuilding and a lot of
it has to do with the sheer devastation of it all, said Jessyca Lytle,
after a particularly contentious
recovery task force meeting last
month. Theres an immense
amount of fatigue right now.
Lake County officials are trying
to get their arms around a recovery
complicated by terrain ranging
from tidy lots in downtown
Middletown to off-the-grid homes
along rutted roads that themselves
need repair.

Theyre not even sure how many

people lack permanent housing,
given that some of the destroyed
buildings were second homes, but
peg the number at 3, 000 displaced.
The
Federal
Emergency
Management Agency has registered more than 2,600 households
in Lake County requesting help
and approved more than $6.7 million for housing assistance and
other needs.

Clear debris
FEMA has also reimbursed the
state more than $43 million to
help clear debris from private
property.
Lake County Supervisor Jim
Comstock knows people who are
unsure about whether to stay. He
recounted the story of a couple
who initially decided not to return,
but then changed their mind.
Were really excited, he said.
Theyre good people and we want
them here.
The county is among the poorest in the state, with pockets of
wealth. Its residents are retirees,
commuters, families that have
lived there for generations and
newcomers grateful for the peace
they say they found before the
fire.

Missing man owes $113M over scam

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA A 73-year-old man

reported missing by his family
faces a $113 million judgment
from
the
Federal
Trade
Commission over a get-rich-quick
scam.
The Contra Costa Times reports
court documents show the FTC

sued John Nelson Beck, of

Alameda, in 2009 claiming he and
five other defendants scammed
hundreds of thousands of customers who bought his system
to learn how to flip real estate.
According to the complaint customers spent $92 million buying
the John Beck System, which
included written materials, CDs

and DVD, and another $175 million on Becks personal coaching

sessions.
The FTC won a judgment in
2012 and Beck was ordered to pay
more than $113 million.
His family says he was last seen
on a surveillance video boarding a
San Francisco-bound train on

Police arrest man
who injured woman,
69, during robbery
Police arrested a man who
allegedly injured a 69-year-old
woman Friday in South San
Francisco after he took her purse
and fled.
At 3:57 p.m., officers responded
to a report of a robbery at Willow
and Grand avenues, according to
police.
The woman was waiting for a bus
when the suspect approached her
from behind.
The suspect tried to pull the
womans purse away from her, but
she resisted. He then forced the
woman to the ground and pulled
the purse from her hands and fled
the scene, police said.
The victim suffered minor
injuries.
Officers were able to locate the
suspect, who was still in
possession of the victims
purse. He was identified as 31year-old Christopher Cook of
Pacifica, according to police.
Cook was arrested on suspicion
of strong-arm robbery and was
booked into the county jail.

Man arrested with toy pistol

Police said a suspect who
allegedly brandished an airsoft
pistol and barricaded himself in a
shipping container in San Mateo
surrendered peacefully to officers
Saturday afternoon.
Former San Francisco resident
Robert Hernandez, 48, allegedly
brandished the pistol at an
employee of tow yard at 1 p.m. in
the 100 block of South Amphlett
Boulevard.
He allegedly threatened to shoot
the employee and then he barricaded himself in the shipping container, according to police.
Officers responded and a negotiating team talked Hernandez into
surrendering just after 2:30 p.m.

Officers found an airsoft pistol

inside the shipping container.
Hernandez was booked into the
county jail on offenses related to
brandishing and drug charges,
police said.

Firefighters rescue dog,

cat from Belmont blaze
Firefighters in Belmont on
Friday rescued a dog and a cat from
a residential structure fire on
Friday.
Firefighters responded at 2:45
p.m. to a one-alarm residential
structure fire in the 1600 block of
Notre Dame Avenue.
Arriving firefighters found
heavy smoke and flames coming
from the garage area of the residence.
There was also a live electrical
wire that fell during the fire,
which caused PG&E crews to
respond and shut off the power to
the residence.
Crews brought the fire under
control in about 30 minutes and
were able to confine the fire to the
garage area. Other areas of the residence sustained smoke and water
damage.
Firefighters learned the homeowners were at work, but there
were two pets inside the residence.
A 10-year-old black Labrador
Retriever was located scared but
unhurt, and a 15-year-old cat was
located suffering from smoke
inhalation, according to firefighters.
The cat was given oxygen and
transported to an emergency veterinary hospital by San Mateo
County Animal Rescue and
Control.
The fire caused an estimated
$275,000 to the residence. The
cause of the fire is still under
investigation.
Neighbors reported hearing an
explosion during the fire, and firefighters said the explosion may
have been the tank of a motorcycle
rupturing in the garage during the
blaze.

Obama uses Sunnylands as Western White House

By Darlene Superville
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RANCHO MIRAGE The guest

list at Sunnylands reads like a roster of the rich and famous, from
years past to today: Frank Sinatra,
Bob Hope, Fred Astaire, Bing
Crosby, Warren Buffet, Bill Gates
and Queen Elizabeth II, to name a
few.
President Barack Obama will add
more names to the VIP record
Monday when he turns the 200-acre
California desert estate into a center
of international diplomacy and welcomes Southeast Asian leaders for a
two-day summit about economic
and regional security issues.
In years past, Obama has flown
to the annual summits of the
Association of Southeast Asian
Nations. Last fall in Malaysia, he
invited the 10 member countries
to meet on U.S. soil for the first
time, part of his effort to sharpen
the U.S. policy focus on the fastgrowing Asia-Pacific region.
While leaders from Indonesia,
Malaysia,
the
Philippines,
Singapore, Thailand, Brunei,
Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar and
Cambodia will
be seeing
Sunnylands for the first time,
Obama has increasingly used the

King Abdullah II of Jordan, an

important Middle Eastern ally.
Rhodes said the gathering of
Southeast Asian leaders would be
another no-tie summit, like
Obamas meetings with Xi and
Abdullah.
Obamas use of Sunnylands is
reminiscent of how then-President
George W. Bush used his Texas

Former priest arrested in cold

case known for his compassion
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHOENIX For nearly 20 years, John

Feit was known around the St. Vincent de
Paul nonprofit agency as one its most compassionate employees.
The former priest worked in downtown
Phoenix with food-pantry volunteers and
even raised money to buy a house for a
needy family. His desire to help others was
apparent at his church and whenever he
showed up on the doorsteps of the poor with
donated food or furniture. He also mediated
disagreements when local agencies were
first planning a campus to house multiple
services for the homeless.
Feit was able to do all this charity work
despite public knowledge that he had long
been a suspect in the 1960 rape and killing
of a Texas schoolteacher and beauty queen.
Now 83, he was arrested Tuesday for the
murder of 25-year-old Irene Garza in
McAllen, Texas. She was last seen at the
church where Feit was a priest. Her bludgeoned body was discovered in a canal days
later.
A grand jury brought the charge based on
yet-to-be-disclosed evidence. Feit, who
uses a walker, is now in jail and plans to
fight extradition to Texas.

For many acquaintances in Phoenix, the

heinous allegations are a stark and incomprehensible contrast to the man they
worked with and saw at church.
Hed be the last person you would suspect of anything like this, said Stephen
Zabilski, executive director of St. Vincent
de Paul. I cant imagine you cant talk to
anyone who doesnt say wonderful things
about his humility and compassion.
Feit, who left the priesthood to marry,
joined St. Vincent de Pauls administrative
office in 1983. Zabilski, who joined the
organization in 1997, remembers him as a
regular, humble guy who was either in the
office or working with volunteers. He could
also be determined with a project.
During his first year as executive director,
Zabilski saw Feit go out of his way to raise
money for a couple who had taken in their
12 grandchildren. Feit and another person
spearheaded an effort to raise at least
$50,000 so the family could get a house.
Despite disbelief from volunteers about
such a daunting goal, Feit wouldnt give up.
John said We help people. Thats what
were here to do, Zabilski said. It wasnt
easy for John, but he wanted to ensure it was
done. I was just touched by that. Wow, this
person really does care about people.

Environmentalists get to join

fight over sage grouse rules
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RENO, Nev. Federal judges have agreed

to allow environmental lawyers in to legal
battles being waged by rural and commercial interests in Nevada and Idaho intent on
blocking new U. S. protections for the
greater sage grouse.
Idaho Gov. C. L. Butch Otter didnt
oppose granting intervener status to the
three national conservation groups in the
lawsuit he has filed in Washington, D.C.,
and the Obama administration hasnt
objected in either case.
But nine Nevada counties, three mining
companies and a livestock ranch opposed
to the move that sets up a three-pronged
approach to the arguments in an already
complicated case expected to drag well into
the summer in Reno.

The Wilderness Society, National

Wildlife Federation and mining watchdog
group Earthworks won the status in both
lawsuits filed last fall.
A third lawsuit was filed last week by
Utahs governor and legislature repeating
claims that the land use planning amendments impose unnecessary restrictions on
activities in or near grouse habitat.
Those activities range from livestock
grazing to road building and energy exploration. The conservationists agree with the
governments argument that blocking the
regulations could force reconsideration of
Interior Secretary Sally Jewells decision in
September to deny the bird protection under
the Endangered Species Act. But they also
said they have many other interests contrary to those of the Forest Service and
Bureau of Land Management.

Scalia remembered for his brilliance

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON
Antonin
Scalias body lay in a Texas funeral home Sunday and officials
awaited word about whether they
would need to perform an autopsy
before the late Supreme Court justice could return home to Virginia.
In the nations capital, where
flags flew at half-staff at the White
House and Supreme Court, the
political sniping soared, raising
the prospect of a court short-handed for some time.
The Senates Republican leader,
backed largely by his partys
White House candidates, essentially told a Democratic president
in his final year in office not to
bother asking lawmakers to confirm a nominee for the lifetime
seat.
Scalias colleagues, meanwhile,
praised his brilliance and grieved
his death. Justice Ruth Bader
Ginsburg said she and Scalia were

best buddies
for more than
30
years.
J u s t i c e
C l a r e n c e
Thomas said,
It is hard to
imagine
the
court without
Antonin Scalia my friend.
A procession
of about 20 law enforcement officers arrived in the early hours
Sunday at an El Paso, Texas, funeral home, according to Chris Lujan,
a manager for Sunset Funeral
Homes. He said they had traveled
more than three hours from the
West Texas resort ranch where the
79-year-old Scalia was found dead
in his room Saturday morning,
Lujan said if an autopsy is
requested by Scalias family or
ordered by a justice of the peace,
then an El Paso County medical
examiner would likely perform it
at the funeral home.

Tentative plans call for Scalias

body to be flown on Tuesday back
home to his family in a northern
Virginia suburb. President Barack
Obama ordered flags to be flown at
half-staff at the high court, where
Scalia served for three decades, and
other federal buildings throughout
the nation and U.S. embassies and
military installations throughout
the world.
As the flags fly lower, the campaign-year political heat has risen
over the vacancy on the ninemember court.
At issue is whether Obama, in
his last year in office, should
make a nomination and the
Republican-led Senate should confirm that choice in an election
year.
Obama pledges a nomination
in due time. Senate Majority
Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.,
thinks it should wait for the next
president.
The Republican resistance to an

election-year confirmation got a

thorough public airing on the GOP
debate stage just hours after
Scalias companions found him
dead in his room at the Cibolo
Creek Ranch near Marfa.
Republicans argued that Obama,
as a lame duck, should not fill the
vacancy created by Scalias death,
but leave it to the next president
which they hope will be one of
them.
The Constitution gives the
Senate advice and consent powers over a presidential nomination
to the Supreme Court. Ted Cruz,
one of the two GOP senators running for president, told NBCs
Meet the Press that the GOPcontrolled Senate is doing its job.
Were advising that a lameduck president in an election year
is not going to be able to tip the
balance of the Supreme Court,
Cruz said.
But the top Democrat on the
Senate Judiciary Committee,

which would hold hearings on a

nominee, said it would be sheer
dereliction of duty for the Senate
not to have a hearing, not to have
a vote.
Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy told
CNNs State of the Union that
he believes McConnell is making a terrible mistake. And hes
certainly
ignoring
the
Constitution.
Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said the Senate
should vote on whomever Obama
nominates. Lets get on with it.
Republicans
insisted that
refraining from Supreme Court
confirmations in election years is
a longtime precedent.
In fact, Justice Anthony
Kennedy was confirmed by the
Senate on Feb. 3, 1988, in the
final year of Ronald Reagans
presidency, by a 97-0 vote. That
was a presidential election year.
Kennedy was nominated in 1987
and confirmed the next year.

GOP candidates joust over

foreign policy, immigration
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GREENVILLE, S.C. Republican presidential candidates jousted over immigration

and foreign policy in a raucous debate that
was shaken by the death of Supreme Court
Justice Antonin Scalia hours before they
took the stage.
Scalias death thrust the future of the high
court into the center of a heated presidential
campaign. In their debate Saturday night,
the GOP candidates insisted that President
Barack Obama step aside and let his successor nominate Scalias replacement instead,
a position the White House vigorously
opposed.
Among the contenders, only Jeb Bush
said Obama had every right to nominate a
justice during his final year in office. The
former Florida governor said the presidency
must be a strong office though he added
that he didnt expect Obama to pick a candidate who could win consensus support.
The five other candidates on the stage
urged the Republican-led Senate to block
any attempts by the president to get his
third nominee on the court.
Its up to Mitch McConnell and everybody else to stop it, Donald Trump said.
Its called delay, delay, delay.
A debate that began with a moment of
silence for Scalia devolved quickly into
fighting between Trump and Bush, then
between Trump and Cruz. The exchanges

highlighted the bad

blood between the billionaire businessman
and his rivals as the race
turns to South Carolina,
a state known for roughand-tumble
politics,
where
the
next
Republican primary will
Donald Trump take place in one week.
Trump,
repeatedly
interrupting his rivals, lashed out at Cruz
after the Texas senator challenged his conservative credentials, calling him the single-biggest liar and a nasty guy. The real
estate mogul also accused Bush of lying
about Trumps business record and said
Bushs brother former President George
W. Bush lied to the public about the Iraq
war.
Bush, who has been among the most
aggressive Republican candidates in taking
on Trump, said that while he didnt mind the
businessman criticizing him Its blood
sport for him he was sick and tired of
him going after my family.
Trump was jeered lustily by the audience
in Greenville, South Carolina, a state where
the Bush family is popular with
Republicans.
George W. Bush plans to campaign
with his brother in Charleston Monday,
making his first public foray into the
2016 race.

Feds seek borehole testing for

potential hot nuke waste burial
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LUBBOCK, Texas The federal government plans to spend $80 million assessing
whether its hottest nuclear waste can be
stored in 3-mile-deep holes, a project that
could provide an alternative strategy to a
Nevada repository plan that was halted in
2010.
The five-year borehole project was tentatively slated to start later this year on stateowned land in rural North Dakota, but it has
already been met with opposition from
state and local leaders who want more time
to review whether the plan poses any public
danger.
It should be a statewide decision, said
Jeff Zent, spokesman for North Dakota
Gov. Jack Dalrymple, adding that a resolution from state legislators is a possibility.
The Department of Energy wants to conduct its work just south of the Canadian border on 20 acres near Rugby, North Dakota

in part because its in a rural area not

prone to earthquakes but is prepared to
look elsewhere if a deal cant be reached.
Some sites in West Texas and New Mexico
have expressed interest in becoming interim sites for above-ground nuclear waste
storage, but its not clear if they would be
considered for borehole technology.
Project leaders say the research will
require months of drilling deep into the
earth but will not involve any nuclear
waste. Instead, dummy canisters without
radioactive material would be used in the
projects third and final phase.
Its to confirm the viability and concept, said Robert J. MacKinnon, a technical manager on the project at DOEs Sandia
National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New
Mexico.
The research team will look at deep rock
to check its water permeability, stability,
geothermal characteristics and seismic
activity.

Turkey shells Kurdish positions in Syria

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT Turkey shelled positions held by a U. S. -backed

Kurdish militia in northern Syria
for a second day on Sunday, drawing condemnation from the Syrian
government, whose forces are
advancing against insurgents in
the same area under the cover of
Russian airstrikes.
Turkeys state-run Anadolu
Agency said Turkish artillery units
fired at Kurdish fighters in the
Syrian town of Azaz in Aleppo
province, saying it was in
response to incoming Kurdish
fire.
Turkish troops have shelled
areas under the control of Syrias
main Kurdish faction, the Peoples
Protection Units, known as YPG,
in the past. The group has been
most effective in the fight against
the Islamic State group in Syria,
but Ankara appears increasingly
uneasy over the groups recent

gains in the countrys north.
Turkey has responded in this
manner in the past, said Turkeys

Deputy Prime Minister Yalcin

Akdogan. What is different is not
that Turkey has responded in such

a way but the fact that there are different movements in the region.
The YPG crossing west of the
Euphrates is Turkeys red line.
The YPG is the main fighting
force of Syrian Kurds and a key
ally of the U.S.-led coalition battling the Islamic State group.
Turkey, which is also in the
alliance, considers it an affiliate
of the Kurdistan Workers Party, or
PKK, which has waged a decadeslong insurgency against Ankara.
A coalition of Kurdish-led
Syrian fighters known as the
Syrian Democratic Forces recently
seized a number of villages near
Turkeys border. Ankara appears
concerned they could reach the
opposition stronghold of Azaz,
which is home to a major border
crossing that has been controlled
by militants since 2012.
Diplomats from a group of countries that have interests in Syrias
five-year civil war, including the
U.S., Russia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia

and Iran, agreed on Friday to seek

a temporary cessation of hostilities within a week. But the fighting on the ground, which has sent
tens of thousands of people fleeing toward the Turkish border
where they continue to sleep in
the open air, has accelerated.
A top Syrian opposition figure,
former Prime Minister Riad Hijab,
criticized Russia on Sunday for
continuing with its bombing in
Syria, and also stopped short of
declaring a clear commitment to
implement a planned temporary
truce.
You ask me if I accept a ceasefire or a cessation of hostilities. I
ask you: Why is the onus on the
opposition and whether it has preconditions for negotiations?
Hijab said. I would like to see a
single day of a cessation of hostilities in order to give a chance for
real political movement. He was
addressing the Munich Security
Conference.

Pope condemns drug trades dealers of death in Mexico

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ECATEPEC, Mexico Pope

Francis condemned the drug trades
dealers of death and urged
Mexicans to shun the devils lust
for money as he led a huge openair Mass for more than 300,000
people Sunday in this violenceriddled city.
Let us get it into our heads:
With the devil, there is no dialogue, the pope said at the
biggest scheduled event of his

five-day visit to Mexico.

Francis brought a message of
encouragement on the second full
day of his trip to residents of
Ecatepec, a poverty-stricken
Mexico City suburb of some 1.6
million people where drug violence, kidnappings and ganglandstyle killings, particularly of
women, are a fact of life.
Hes coming to Ecatepec
because we need him here, said
Ignacia Godinez, a 56-year-old
homemaker. Kidnappings, rob-

beries and drugs have all

increased, and he is bringing comfort. His message will reach those
who need it so that people know
we, the good people, outnumber
the bad.
In a clear reference to the drug
lords who hold sway in the citys
sprawling expanses of cinderblock slums, Francis focused
his homily on the danger posed by
the devil.
Only the power of the word of
God can defeat him, the pope

said. In a final prayer, he urged

Mexicans to make their country
into a land of opportunity where
there will be no need to emigrate
in order to dream, no need to be
exploited in order to work, no
need to make the despair and
poverty of many the opportunism
of a few, a land that will not have
to mourn men and women, young
people and children who are
destroyed at the hands of the dealers of death.

OPINION

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Guest perspective

Regulate the real issues

By Mark Olbert

or a society where it seems

like many people dislike or
distrust the government and
regulation, we sure do get a lot of
requests to impose rules on each
other. Take the San Carlos City
Councils action last December
imposing an urgency ordinance regulating chain stores in our downtown
core.
Any business having 10 or more
outlets nationally, whether its owned
by a distant corporation, is the next
step in the growth of a local business,
or represents the long-held dream of a
new franchisee, must now get special
permission to open from the city,
even if it complies with all other
legal requirements. Had this been in
effect historically, stores like
Nothing Bundt Cakes, Footwear Etc.,
The UPS Store, Susie Cakes, Peets
Coffee and Tea, the Hallmark Store,
Tutti Frutti and more, could have been
denied a permit. Seeking permission
can cost an applicant thousands of
dollars.
I voted for the ordinance, after voicing many concerns, because it will
expire shortly if not conrmed, and I
wanted time to study its purported
costs and benets. After talking to
residents, store and property owners,
and outside experts, Ive concluded we
dont need this fundamental change to
the long-standing, successful partner-

ship between our

community and its
businesses.
Residents value
stores based not on
whether theyre
part of a chain, but
on what they have
to offer. Thats why
Plantation Coffee,
Town, Pia Cere and The Reading Bug,
to name just a few standalone businesses, are always busy. But its also
why Peets and Nothing Bundt Cakes
are, too, and why I have a hard time
getting a table at Blue Line or Patxis
Pizza, all of which are chains.
In my conversations with them,
store owners worry far more about
escalating rents, and the city running
out of parking spaces, than they do
about chain stores. Those are real
problems, which the anti-chain store
ordinance does nothing to address.
Some residents do express concern
about a giant, hulking chain store
opening up downtown, or that our
business district will be overwhelmed
by corporate branding which clashes
with its charm. Fine; lets regulate the
size of stores and their look and feel,
instead. That way we can attract the
widest possible range of shops and
restaurants, while preserving what
makes downtown San Carlos so special.
Theres more we could do, too. Ive
put together a brief presentation
about this, which you can nd at

council.olbert.com/2016/02/10/preserving-our-downtown. It includes a
number of additional policy ideas I
believe would better serve us. I hope
youll check it out.
Some months ago, when
Councilman Ron Collins dedicated
Frank Harrington Park on Laurel
Street, he talked about all the stores
that had come and gone there over the
course of his long tenure in San
Carlos. As someone who moved here
in 1997, I remember thinking I knew
hardly any of the businesses Ron
cited.
But that made me realize something
else: our downtown is special to me,
as it is to the folks who came before
me, and to those who arrived after me,
not because of specic stores, but
because of its look and feel, its pedestrian friendliness, and, most important of all, the people who live, work,
shop and dine there.
If we retain and foster those things,
rather than worrying about who owns
a particular store, itll stay a fabulous
destination into the future. I hope we
keep that in mind as we consider
whether or not to make the anti-chain
store ordinance permanent.

A surprising
whos who of
Rotarians

he San Mateo Rotary Club abandoned its usual program format last week to test members knowledge
of each other. Previously, Rotarian Anne LeClair,
San Mateo County Convention and Visitors Bureau president and CEO, asked members to ll out a form about
something unusual in their
past. She gathered about
100 resumes and came up
with a questionnaire and
several clues. To add to the
fun, a bottle of wine was
awarded to each member of
the prize-winning table
which provided the most
correct answers. But the
biggest surprise was what
was in some of those
resumes.
***
The Rotarian who celebrated his 70th birthday by
climbing a tree was none
other than former county supervisor and country controller Tom Huening. It turns out that retired doctor Roger
Trinkner is related to John Alden who came over on the
Mayower, stayed at Plymouth Colony and was a signer
of the Mayower Compact. Other historical links included
Jeff Bass, director of the Hiller Aviation Museum, who had
an ancestor arrested at the Boston Tea Party. To top it all
Vic Carboni, a retired physicist, is distantly related to
King Charles III of France.
Closer to home, former Mollie Stones owner Dave
Bennett, plays keyboard in a classic rock band. Gerry
Bundy, an optician, is a bonsai artist. Walt McCullough, a
stock broker, is also a beekeeper. Chuck Osborn, retired
ice cream store owner, is a triathlon runner and works as
an usher at San Francisco Giants and Stanford football
games. T. Jack Foster Jr. whose family founded and built
Foster City, is a former tap dancer and singer. Don Leydig,
former principal of Hillsdale High School, was a Peace
Corps member in Libya, but was sent home when Khadi
took over and considered Peace Corps members spies in
teachers clothing. Mike Berube, commercial Realtor, was
a ballet dancer of some renown in his former life, and once
rescued Brooke Shields daughter in a water skiing accident. Tony Carrasco, district manager of the California
Water Service Company, was a member of the Navy
Seabees, and enjoys rock climbing with a Jeep.
Laura Porter, an accountant for the San Francisco Giants
and Rachel del Monte, director of the Peninsula YMCA,
Peninsula Family Branch, each recently had a baby. Juan
Raigoza, San Mateo County controller, worked as a farm
laborer when he was a child. Mike Petersen, former principal of Serra High School and now with Boston Private
Bank, hangs out with Tom Brady and family. Current club
President Ed Phillips, owner of Jersey Mikes Subs and
who once ran a travel business, lived in a tree house in

Multiple crises challenge EU

By Gregory Katz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON If the European

Union were a patient, its survival
would be seen as threatened by
multiple organ failure.
Thats the view of many experts
as EU leaders prepare for a
Brussels summit that starts
Thursday. Analysts believe the
combined strain of challenges
including a refugee crisis, threats
facing the euro currency and
Britains plan to hold a referendum
on whether to leave the EU may be
unbearable for the 28-nation bloc.
Just 20 years ago, the EU
seemed to be growing in stature as
it proudly offered freedom and
democracy along with lucrative
subsidies, military alliances and
billions in foreign investment
to newly freed former Soviet satellites.

Migrants
Now, NATO warships are steaming toward the Aegean Sea in an
escalated bid to impose order on
the chaotic arrival of more than 1
million migrants, which has not
abated despite the wintry weather
in southern Europe.
Informal mini-blocs have
formed within the European
Union, with some countries banding together to challenge, or just
ignore, the EUs announced
refugee resettlement program.
Temporary border controls have
been introduced in key countries
including Germany and France,
threatening the cherished notion
of freedom of movement across
European borders.
Britain, a nuclear power with a
seat at the U.N. Security Council,
is demanding concessions before
a referendum on whether the U.K.

should simply abandon the EU, a

prospect known as Brexit. And a
slow-burning, extremely divisive
budget crunch threatens the future
of the euro single currency that
has been a hallmark of European
integration.
Ian Kearns, director of the
European Leadership Network
research group in London, said the
EU is undergoing an existential
crisis as a once shared sense of
mission fades. Countries are pursuing their perceived national
interests instead of seeking collective solutions, he said, and the
notion of European solidarity is
fading.
Its anybodys guess now
whether it will survive long term,
he said of the European Union. I
think its that serious. Its not just
the migration crisis, or Brexit.
The challenge is the lack of faith
in the mainstream political class
in Europe that is evident across
the continent, manifested in the
rise of populist movements. The
migration crisis has simply highlighted it.
The summit is one of a series of
meetings that have tried, but
mostly failed, to find an effective
collective response to the chaotic
arrival of so many people.
Leaders will consider fairly minor
changes to Britains status aimed
at placating restive British voters
ahead of a referendum, and assess
how well or poorly earlier
edicts on migration have been
implemented.
The union has a knack for solving difficult situations by building consensus, and papering over
cracks with layers of bureaucracy,
but some warn the migrant situation is a more serious threat to
continental unity.

UK in a Changing Europe group at

Kings College London, says the
European Union simply doesnt
have a practical method of tackling its myriad mounting problems.
The structures set up when the
union was formed by six countries
as the European Economic
Community in 1958, and diluted
with the addition of so many countries with differing perspectives,
are simply too weak, he said, so
nations either make unilateral
decisions or forge small alliances
with other countries in the bloc
that share their concerns.
The European project is probably in trouble, he said. The EU
is where its been for the last few
years: Very big crises without the
tools to address them. Its a
halfway house of integration. You
have a little bit of authority in
these areas the migrants,
Greece but the big decisions are
made by the member states. Its
fragmented because the member
states have completely different
views.
Europe needs to have one cogent
immigration policy to cope with
the influx of people from the
Middle East, Africa and elsewhere
but wont be able to forge one
because countries dont view the
problem the same way.

Generous at first
The countries in the south like
Greece and Italy are facing the
brunt of it, Menon said. A few
countries in the north Germany
and the Scandinavians were
generous at first and are now
regretting it. The Brits are pretending its not happening. And
the Visegrad countries (Hungary,
Poland, the Czech Republic and
Slovakia) say they are not inter-

opment project managers within the residential division.

Chris DeHaan joined
SRGNC in 2013 as an
assistant project manager on the residential
development team. He
recently helped deliver a
mixed-use, luxury multi- Chris DeHann

construction.

ested in helping for reasons of culture and history. They say they
have no history of taking in
migrants.
Officials had expected the flow
of desperate people fleeing war
and poverty would slow during the
winter
months,
but
The
International Organization for
Migration said this week that
76,000 people nearly 2,000
per day have reached Europe by
sea since Jan. 1, a nearly tenfold
increase over the same period the
year before. More than 400 have
died, most of them drowning in
frigid waters.
In this diffuse environment, it is
difficult to see the EU managing to
respond effectively to such an
unpredictable situation.

Border openings
It was much easier 20 years ago,
before Islamic extremism had
showed its face inside Europe. The
opening of the continents internal and external borders was seen
then as a welcome part of a peace
dividend, not an Achilles heel
that left residents more vulnerable
to suicide bombings and marauding gunmen. The relative stability
in the Middle East meant the flow
of migrants was manageable, not
seen as a threat.
At the time, French President
Francois Mitterrand and German
Chancellor Helmut Kohl articulated forceful arguments in favor of
more integration, and they were
used to imposing their vision on
the rest of the bloc, which was
smaller and easier to manage.
When the Schengen Agreement
was signed in 1985 it heralded a
new era of passport-free travel in
much of Europe, speeding trade,
facilitating the easy movement of
workers and students, and giving

concrete,
facts-on-the-ground
reality to the idea of a continent
turning its back on the wars of the
past in favor of a more hopeful
vision.
This inclusive approach guided
the expansion of the European
Union as the bloc was renamed
in 1993 when Eastern European
countries lined up to join.
Stefan Lehne, visiting scholar
with Carnegie Europe in Brussels,
said the unsolved refugee calamity
may put the EU integration
process into reverse by rendering
the Schengen agreement unworkable pointing out that border
controls have already been temporarily reintroduced in some
countries, as allowed by Schengen
rules and threatening other
integration goals.
He said the rule of law, and the
EUs authority, has already been
undermined by the blocs failure to
implement an agreed upon quota
system calling for the resettlement of refugees in a number of
countries.
Stark divisions have been
exposed, he said, by the way the
Visegrad countries in Eastern
Europe reap the economic benefits
of EU membership but while refusing to help the refugees.

Brakes on integration
All these factors, he said, have
put the brakes on integration
and may shortly lead to its opposite.
This is really the first time we
might lose a very real achievement of the integration project,
Schengen, with important economic costs, he said. Its also
very symbolically important. My
sense is that unless we get a grip
on refugees, the integration
process will be reversed.

Seoul: N. Korea used

earnings from joint
factories for weapons
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEOUL, South Korea North Korea

channeled about 70 percent of the money it
received for workers at the now-shuttered
Kaesong industrial park into its weapons
programs and to buy luxury goods for the
impoverished nations tiny elite, South
Korea said Sunday.
The jointly run park, just outside the
North Korean city of Kaesong and about 50
kilometers (35 miles) from Seoul,
employed about 54,000 North Koreans who
worked for over 120 South Korean companies, most of them small and medium-size
manufacturers. Seoul closed the park last
week in retaliation for North Koreas recent
rocket launch.

Nuclear weapons
In a statement issued Sunday, South
Koreas Unification Ministry said that
about 70 percent of the 616 billion won
($560 million) paid to the North since the
park was established in 2004 was used to
develop nuclear weapons and missiles, and
for the luxury goods.
However, it did not detail how it arrived at
that percentage.
North Korea was able to divert the money
because the workers in Kaesong were not
paid directly. Instead, U.S. dollars were paid

to the North Korean government, which

siphoned off most of the money and paid
only what it wanted to the employees in
North Korean currency and store vouchers,
the statement said.
Pyongyang responded to Seouls closure
by announcing a military takeover of the
complex and seizing everything that the
companies South Korean managers were
forced to leave behind.

Cross-border project
The rare cross-border project, which
began during an era of relatively good relations between the Koreas, combined cheap
North Korean labor with the capital and
technology of wealthy South Korea.
But Seoul is desperate to pressure
Pyongyang after its nuclear test earlier this
year, followed weeks later by a Feb. 7 rocket launch that was condemned by much of
the world as a test of banned missile technology. While the Kaesong closure will
hurt North Korea, it is not critical to that
nations economy. North Korea gets the
vast majority of its earnings from trade with
China.
The last time the industrial park closed
was in 2013, when North Korea withdrew its
workers amid escalating tensions in the
wake of North Koreas third nuclear test.
The park reopened after about five months.

Adams earns Scots rare PAL wrestling title

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

On a regular day, Dylan Adams looks

like he could fit right in with the bleachblonde hair club of the Half Moon Bay
wrestling team.
So, to set himself apart from his HMB
opponents, the Carlmont junior decided go
with a funkier look, dying his hair in a
bright fucsia Mohawk pattern. It was a fitting choice, not only because the youthfullooking Adams resembles a founding member of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but also
because he took his colorful quaff to the top
of the podium at Saturdays Peninsula
Athletic League wresting championships at

El Camino.
With all the other
team bleached, I knew I
had to go a little more
funky, Adams said.
No one was quite sure
how long it had been
since the last time
Carlmont won a PAL indiDylan Adams vidual wrestling title, but
the consensus was it had
been at least 20 years until Adams 9-6
decision in the title match of the 147-pound
division. The junior outlasted HMBs Khalil
Droubi, giving the Cougars their first championship-round loss of the evening.
I knew Half Moon Bay was unbeaten

today, so I was determined to be the first,

Adams.
For Adams, funky is more than a hairstyle. It proved the clincher of his title win.
After trailing 6-2 in the first round, he battled back to within a point. Then when
Droubi tried for but missed a lateral drop,
Adams used a funk roll for a two-point takedown to move into the lead. Up 7-6 to start
the third round, Adams scored another twopoint takedown with a cradle roll, then
smothered his opponent in the closing seconds to win it.
In celebration, Adams leapt to his feet for
a spirited double fist-pump before hopping
off the mat to celebrate with his Carlmont
teammates. Not that there are many of them.

The Scots have just a four-man squad, down

from the 13 wrestlers who started the season. Meanwhile, head coach John Peavler is
busy moonlighting at the helm of both
Carlmont and Sequoia, a dual post he has
held for six years.
[Adams] has continually gotten better,
Peavler said. He is actually a 140 pounder
and going to 147 pounds now.
Adams weighed in at 143 pounds Saturday,
which is actually good middle ground for the
junior. He has wrestled as high as 154
pounds this season, but got stronger as he
dropped weight heading into the postseason.

Pebble Beachs comeback kid

Taylor rallies from six strokes back to claim first PGA title in a decade
By Doug Ferguson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PEBBLE BEACH Vaughn Taylor doesnt know how

he lost his game. Even more mystifying was the way it
returned.
His goal Sunday when he teed off in the AT&T Pebble
Beach Pro-Am, trailing Phil Mickelson by six shots,
was to finish in the top 10 so he wouldnt have to rush
down to Los Angeles and try to qualify for the next PGA
Tour event.
It had been more than a decade since he won. It had
been three years since he had a full PGA Tour card. And
just 10 days ago, Taylor was throwing up in his hotel
room in Bogota, Colombia, so sick that he withdrew
from a Web.com Tour event and flew to Pebble Beach as
an alternate. The one-time Ryder Cup player only had a
carry bag with him to save money on baggage fees.
Taylor ran off four straight birdies on the back nine at
Pebble Beach to close with a 7-under 65, and he wasnt
sure it was enough when Mickelson stood over a 5-foot

birdie putt to force a playoff. And then Taylor got one

last surprise.
Mickelson missed.
Just absolutely amazing, Taylor said. Didnt know
if it would ever happen again, to be honest. Just lost a
lot of confidence, lost a good bit of my game. I just
kept working, grinding and kept at it. And I cant
believe it actually happened today.
Neither could Mickelson.
Lefty was going for his record-tying fifth victory at
Pebble Beach, and the 43rd title of his Hall of Fame
career. He had a two-shot lead to start the final round,
lost the lead after five holes, rallied with a birdie on the
17th hole and then delivered two good shots to within
60 feet of the hole, just short of the green on the par-5
18th.
It never crossed my mind that I wouldnt make that
one, Mickelson said after his 72.

Curry nets 26 as West wins All-Star Game

By Brian Mahoney
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TORONTO Kobe Bryant said his NBA

All-Star Game goodbye and the next generation of the Wests best sent him off a winner, rolling to a record-setting 196-173
victory over the East on Sunday night.
The first All-Star Game outside the U.S.
was the highest-scoring ever, with both
teams scoring more than any team had ever
managed. Bryant didnt provide much of the
offense but many of the memories.
He finished with just 10 points, so few
that he lost his career lead in All-Star Game
scoring to LeBron James, even though
James also had a quiet night.
But Russell Westbrook scored 31 points
in his second straight All-Star MVP performance, Stephen Curry added 26,
Anthony Davis 24, and Kevin Durant 23.
Paul George finished with 41 for the East,
tying Westbrooks total from last year in
New York that was one off Wilt
Chamberlains record. John Wall added 22
points.
James finished with 13 points, just
enough to move ahead of Bryant for most
ever in the All-Star Game. He has 291,
while Bryant, who is retiring after this season, leaves with 290.
He checked out with 1:06 left to cheers
and hugs from his fellow All-Stars who now
put up points in bunches the way Bryant did
for so long.
Bryant had seven assists and six
rebounds, but shot just 4 for 11 in a game
where there isnt really much defense and
had never been less. The 369 combined
points were 48 more than last years record,
and both clubs blew away the previous individual team record of 163.
But people just wanted to see Bryant
play, not necessarily play well.
The pregame was a celebration first of
Canada, then of Bryant.

TORONTO Klay Thompson did what

barely any team has done this year.
He beat Stephen Curry.
The 3-point contest championship has gone
from one Splash Brother to another, as
Thompson beat his Golden
State teammate and defending champion with a dazzling display at All-Star
Saturday night. Thompson
finished the final round
with 27 points, four more
than Curry managed as
once again, the title came
down to the two Golden
Klay Thompson State sharpshooters.
We love to shoot against each other,
Thompson said. You know, Ive never been
on a team with someone who shoots it better
than me, so its a privilege to work with him
every day. He makes me that much better.
Phoenixs Devin Booker was third, with
16 points in the final round. He beat
Houstons James Harden and J.J. Redick of
the Los Angeles Clippers to get out of the
first round, and Torontos Kyle Lowry,
Portlands C.J. McCollum and Milwaukees
Khris Middleton were eliminated early.
As probably many expected, it came down
to Curry and Thompson.
Curry shot before Thompson in the final
round, making his first seven shots and putting up 23 points which, to that point,
was the best score of the night.
So the pressure was on Thompson, and he
delivered.
Back-to-back years for the Splash
Brothers, Thompson said. Its pretty
cool.

LaVine wins All-Star Saturday thriller

Slam dunk contest

TORONTO Aaron Gordon soared over

his mascot, but nobody flies higher than
Zach LaVine in the slam dunk contest.
LaVine was perfect just a little longer than
Gordon and won a thrilling final event to cap
off an entertaining NBA All-Star Saturday.
LaVine captured his second straight dunk
title and a second trophy in two nights.
All-Star Saturday had a big showing from
the Timberwolves, as rookie Karl-Anthony
Towns showed big guys have skills, too.
The night and the first two nights of
this first All-Star weekend held outside the

U.S. ended with a celebration for LaVine,

who won the MVP award in Friday night in
the Rising Stars Challenge for rookies and
second-year players.
He outlasted Gordon in a duel that needed
two overtimes and ended only when there was
literally no ball to use. Curry batted it down
to other end of the court after he and the other
NBA stars who were as captivated as the fans
and celebrities sitting courtside charged onto
the court when LaVine leaped from just inside
the free throw line, put the ball between his
legs in midair and slammed it down.

very happy hes experiencing some success
down there.
After Lucca and Gomes coached side-byside at Caada for 13 seasons, Gomes moved
to San Juan Capistrano, where his mother
Anna Gaglione lives, after she was diagnosed
with breast cancer prior to last season.
Gaglione underwent a battery of cancer treatments and is now in remission.
Shes good, Gomes said. Shes had it
removed and so far it has stayed out of her
body. ... Shes having a hard time getting
around so Im trying to help out.
A San Bruno native who graduated from
Serra in 1987 as a two-time All-West Catholic
Athletic League infielder, Gomes didnt have
a job lined up when he moved to San Juan
Capistrano. His hope was to catch on as a

Joe Galea got his mojo working to cap

Skyline Colleges three-game sweep of visiting Shasta College.

A freshman left-hander out of Capuchino,

Galea worked 7 1/3 innings in Saturdays
victory to earn the first win of his collegiate career. The southpaw entered the
eighth with the Trojans (5-2) leading 3-0,
but Shasta (0-6) rallied to get the tying run
to the plate with one out before Galea
departed. Freshman reliever Austin Conour
entered to allow one inherited runner to
score, but sealed down the eighth from
there. Right-hander Richard Boe entered in
the ninth to provide a little torture by loading the bases before locking down his first
save of the year.
Skyline designated hitter Steven Hughes
provided some offense in his first start of
the season. The left-handed hitting redshirt
freshman out of Aragon was 1 for 2 with two
RBIs, including a sacrifice fly in the fifth
and a solo home run in the seventh. Neil
Sterling got the Trojans on the board in the
fifth with an RBI triple to score Felix
Aberouette.
Skyline now rides a four-game winning
streak to San Diego, where it opens a three-

minor league coach with the San Diego

Padres.
But then his career took a serendipitous
turn within 10 minutes of crossing paths with
Saddleback manager Sommer McCartney a
former teammate of Tonys older brother Lou
at San Jose City College who quickly hired
Gomes as Saddlebacks third-base coach and
assistant hitting coach.
I came down with no plans, no idea what I
was going to do and doors just opened up for
me, Gomes said.
With Saddleback currently leading the state
with a 1.14 team ERA, Gomes said the
Gauchos formula for winning is to produce
four or five runs per game game over. But
his lineup isnt exactly taking the scratchand-claw approach. Saddleback is ranked
ninth in the state with a .324 team batting
average and first in the state with a .508 slugging percentage as the only team in the state
currently slugging above the .500 mark.
This is to say Gomes is to Saddleback as is
a kid to a candy store. He said the hitters there
come to work on their skills every day, which

is the way Gomes himself learned to hit. A

lifer on the baseball diamond, Gomes said the
minute he picked up a baseball bat at the age
of 7, it was on.
And as he continued to tell his story of his
life in baseball, he couldnt help but preach
the foundation of what it takes to be a good
hitter. He cant help but teach.
We just hit all day long, Gomes said. We
didnt have the video games and the TVs and
all the things the kids have these days. We
had to go outside and hit.
A major cornerstone of Gomes foundation
as a community college coach is being in a
position to help players learn from his mistakes. The one he regrets most is missing his
chance to play Division I baseball out of
high school. Gomes said upon transferring
from Caada, he had a scholarship offer at Cal
State Fullerton, a team that went to the
College World Series in 1990.
1990 was Gomes first year at a four-year
school as a junior transfer, but he didnt get to
go to Fullerton because his academics didnt
make the cut. So, he went the Division II

Krainz again coming home to score. CSM

rallied for three runs in the inning to add to
its lead, with a sacrifice fly by Brad Degnan
scoring R.J. Prince and an RBI single by
Brandon Hernandez plating Gonzalez.
Right-hander Drew Reveno earned the win
with four shutout innings of relief. A freshman
out of Leigh-San Jose, Reveno has pitched in
all five of CSMs games this season, working
nine innings while allowing just one unearned
run. Closer Mark Quinby fired a perfect ninth
to earn his second save of the year.
With the win, the Bulldogs have won five
straight games to start the year. They are one
of just six California Community College
teams to maintain an undefeated record
through the first two weeks of the season.

Sac City 10, Caada 8

After winning on opening day, Caada
College has lost seven straight after suffering a three-game sweep to Sacramento City
College (5-1).
The Colts (1-7) banged out 11 hits in
Saturdays series finale in Sacramento, but
couldnt hold on to an early 4-0 lead as the
Panthers scored two in the third and seven
in the fourth. Caada starter Mario Mazzoni
worked 3 1/3 innings to take the loss,
falling to 0-2. Infielder Caleb Romero had a
breakout day for the Colts, going 3 for 5
with two RBIs.
Earlier Saturday, Caada and Sac City
completed a game that started last Tuesday at
Caada, but was suspended due to darkness.
Sac City held on to win 11-9. The score after
eight innings when play was suspended was
10-5. But Saturday, after the Panthers scored
once in the top of the ninth, the Colts rallied for four runs in the bottom of the inning
before Sac City closed it out.
route at San Francisco State. But missing his
chance to play in Omaha still haunts him to
this day.
Just to have the opportunity to play in
Omaha against the elite in the county, I
would have loved to have the opportunity,
Gomes said. But I live vicariously through
my players now. The reward is so ridiculous. I wouldnt trade it in for anything.
Gomes path to Caada led to his 15-year
career there, two as a player and 13 as a coach.
In his absence this season, Lucca hired two
coaches to replace him with a pair of East Bay
natives, Tyler Rosias and Todd Surdez. Surdez
has taken over as the first-base coach, where
Gomes was a fixture for 12 years. Rosias and
Lucca have taken over in coaching the Caada
hitters.
Still, Gomes has left some big shoes to fill
for the Colts.
Gomey is a great guy, Lucca said. Hes
really passionate about the game and hes got
a lot of knowledge. Over the time weve spent
together, weve become good friends and are
until this day.

Taylor was No. 447 in the world and
had never won a tournament against
the best players. His previous two victories were the Reno-Tahoe Open

Half Moon Bay lands 10 PAL wrestling titles

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

After taking the Peninsula Athletic League team

crown in the regular season, Half Moon Bay
wrestling flexed its muscles at the PAL individual
championships Saturday at El Camino.
The Cougars claimed 10 individual championships, including a streak of five in a row in the
boys matches. All told, eight boys and two girls
from HMB captured titles.
This year saw a new format at the PAL championships, with boys and girls matches alternating
under the spotlight. With a capacity crowd on hand,
the Cougars didnt wait around to stake their claim to
PAL dominance.
HMB sophomore Victoria Borrego opened with a
statement win in the 103-pound division, running
up a 13-0 lead over El Caminos Trinity Diokno
before earning a pin with a Japanese wizard throw.
Cougars freshman Daniela Corona went on to win
the other girls title in 145s.
The Cougars boys showed up with their signature
uniform bleach-blonde hair and did not disappoint.
After Oceanas Sandeep Singh opened with a title
win in 108s, HMB rattled off five straight wins from
EdRey Casamina (115s), Emilio Bautisa (122s),
Tristan Keller (128s), Evan Marschall (134s) and
Will Fullerton (140s).
Hugo Plancarte (172s), Sam Bower (197s) and
Ricky Camacho (222s) also added title wins for the
Cougars.
Fullertons championship marked the first of his
varsity career. Taking on Terra Novas Jared
Abellera, Fullerton came out with a spark of aggression. He fell behind on Abelleras early two-point
takedown, but rallied back for five straight points
and kept building on his lead to eventually score a
15-5 victory.
I like trying to dominate my opponents so they
dont even want to wrestle me again, Fullerton said.

Entering into Saturdays PAL meet,
he was ranked No. 10 among 147s in
the Central Coast Section. Last season
he became the first Carlmont wrestler
this century to advance to the CCS
playoffs, finishing as the runner-up at
the PAL meet. This year, he did the PAL
one better.
Hes come on at the end of the season, Peavler said. Hes peaking at
the right time.

Marschalls preceding match

was the opposite pace of
Fullertons. In one of the more
tempered battles of the evening,
Marschall defeated Oceanas
Josue Gazo 4-2. Deadlocked 2-2
going into the third round,
Marschall scored the decisive
points by reversing a hammerWill Fullerton throw attempt for a takedown.
I wrestled him two times
before this and they were tough matches, Marschall
said. I knew he was going to be coming after me.
Everybody wants to be league champion. But I was
able to hold him off.
In the girls competition, El Caminos Natali
Vasquez gave the host team an early win with a quick
barbed-wire takedown in the second round to pin
Terra Novas Teagan Allen. Vasquez, who weighed in
at 103.6 pounds, just over the limit for 103s, said
she rarely uses the barbed-wire arm drag.
Its something good to keep in the back pocket,
Vasquez said. Its really handy, actually.
In other girls action, Menlo-Athertons Bianca
Vargas won the 113s title; Westmoors Lizette
Young won 118s; Sequoias Michelle Ochoa won
123s; Sequoias Maya Metro won 128s; Woodsides
Alma Covarribius won 133s; Terra Novas Mikaela

Terra Novas Sydnie Theisen won 172s; M-As Abby

won 237s.
In other boys action, Carlmonts Dylan Adams
won 147s; El Caminos Roman Reich won 154s;
Capuchinos Joseph Gutierrez won 162s; Aragons
Isaiah Martin won 184s; and South Citys Luke Cruz
won the heavyweight title for the third straight season with a 9-4 decision over HMBs Jacob Gehret.
We knew this was most likely going to be my
final match, Cruz said. So I tried not to think about
it and just leave it all out on the mat.

Big Deadpool debut annihilates record

By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES The R-rated

Deadpool has taken the box
office by storm, annihilating
records with an eye-popping $135
million from its first three days in
theaters, according to comScore
estimates Sunday.
The Fox film, which stars Ryan
Reynolds as the foul-mouthed
superhero, easily trounced last
years record-setting $85.2 million February debut of the erotic
drama Fifty Shades of Grey. It
also became the biggest R-rated
opening ever, surpassing The
Matrix Reloaded, which opened
to $91.8 million in May of 2003.
Analysts are predicting that the
Tim Miller-directed film, which

cost a mere $58 million to produce, could go on to make $150

million by the end of the holiday
weekend. As recently as Thursday,
Deadpool was expected to pull
in only $80 million across the
three days, but the Marvel comic,
often a best-seller, proved its popular appeal and then some and it
didnt have to compromise with a
PG-13 rating either.
This movie is the very definition of an expectation-buster.
Nobody saw this coming. said
Paul Dergarabedian, comScores
senior media analyst. It doesnt
feel like a cookie-cutter superhero
movie. It feels like something
unique. Youve got to sometimes
take risks and go against conventional wisdom to come out a winner.

IMAX screens accounted for an

estimated $16. 8 million of
Deadpools total.
The film, notably, was not
released in 3D.
The debut is also a bit of a superhero redemption story for
Reynolds whose costly Green
Lantern adaptation disappointed
audiences and at the box office in
2011.
Coming in a distant second was
last weekends No. 1 film Kung
Fu Panda 3 with $19.7 million,
which fell only 7 percent. The
DreamWorks Animation film has
earned $93.9 million in just three
weeks in theaters.
In third place, the R-rated
Dakota Johnson and Rebel Wilson
rom-com How to Be Single didnt make any big waves with its

$18.8 million out of the gates.

The Warner Bros. film cost $38
million to produce and provided
some counter programming to the
hyper violent Deadpool.
The dismally reviewed Ben
Stiller comedy Zoolander 2,
meanwhile, debuted in fourth
place to only $15.7 million. The
Paramount film, which Stiller
directed, cost around $50 million
to make. The first film,
Zoolander, opened in 2001, just
weeks after the Sept. 11 attacks,
to a meek $15.5 million and went
on to gross only $45.2 million in

The American people should have a
voice in the selection of their next Supreme
Court justice, Senate Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell said. Therefore, this
vacancy should not be filled until we have a
new president.
His position was echoed by several
Republicans seeking the GOP presidential
nomination. Sen. Ted Cruz said conservatives could not risk losing influence on the
court for a generation. Donald Trump
urged Senate Republicans to delay, delay,
delay.
Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton told
a Democratic dinner in Denver that Obama
is president of the United States until Jan
20, 2017. That is a fact my friends, whether
the Republicans like it or not.
Lets get on with it, said Democrat
Bernie Sanders, arguing that the Senate
should vote on whoever Obama nominates.
The court has already heard but not
decided big cases involving immigration, abortion, affirmative action and public employee unions. With many cases
recently decided by 5-4 margins, with Scalia
leading the conservative majority, the
vacancy could have major repercussions,
both legally and in the presidential race.
The nomination fight in the Senate could
determine the tenor of much of Obamas
final year in office and ricochet through
the campaign to replace him. Obama, who
already has little goodwill on the Hill, faces
stiff opposition from Republicans hungry
for the chance to further tip the court to the
right. A confirmation process often takes
more than two months, but could be drawn
out longer by the Republican-led Senate.
Obama said the Senate should have
enough time for a fair hearing and timely
vote.
Senate Democrats made clear that they
would work vigorously to keep Republicans

quickly offered counterarguments to
Republican statements that the decision
should rest with the next president.
It would be unprecedented in recent history for the Supreme Court to go a year with
a vacant seat, said Senate Minority Leader
Harry Reid of Nevada. Failing to fill this
vacancy would be a shameful abdication of
one of the Senates most essential constitutional responsibilities.
Democrats pointed out that Justice
Anthony Kennedy was confirmed in an election year 1988 the final year of
Ronald Reagans presidency. Kennedy had
been nominated in November 1987 after the
Senate rejected Robert Bork and Douglas
Ginsburg bowed out.
Democrats also argued that waiting for the
next president in January 2017 would leave
the court without a ninth justice for more
than the remainder of Obamas term as
Senate confirmation would not be immediate.
The court faces a crowded docket of politically charged cases that are certain to resonate in the presidential campaign on
issues such as immigration, abortion, affirmative action, climate change, labor
unions and Obamas health care law.

R&B, pop and country in separate

I did not know that there were
categories until I walked into a

home and wrote Easy and I
brought it back. They said, We
cant play the record because its
too white. I was confused.

COLLEGE
Continued from page 1
College District. It will include discussion with local law enforcement, as
well as with the district and college
executive teams, staff, students and
local community. The study will look
at issues associated with insurance liabilities, training of officers, one-time
and ongoing cost, etc.
More than a simple yes or no question of whether to arm security will be
considered. If the Board of Trustees
determines it would be the best route
for the district to take, it will then
need to decide how to implement it.
The study will look at examples
statewide and nationally to assess
what would be most appropriate locally. The highest level of security is
exemplified at Californias public universities that have accredited police
departments on campus. Other institutions have armed security with varying
degrees of responsibility and authority, some with peace officer powers and
some who operate as security guards.

SUPPORT
Continued from page 1
ably of Nelsons abilities as an educator and mentor during public comment
at the most recent school board meeting.
Mr. Nelson knows the dynamic of
BHS better than anyone else. He is a
good man with great intentions. BHS
is lucky to have him, said Jules
Merringer, a senior at the school. I
would do anything in my power to
keep him at BHS.
Cathy
Baylock,
a
former
Burlingame mayor and mother of a son
who had Nelson as a teacher, requested
district officials communicate publicly a resolution to the transfer issue.
The community needs to know what
is happening with this great, great
man, she said.
Nelson said in an email he has
received no further correspondence
from the board or Skelly since being
told Thursday, Jan. 14, he would be
transferred.
No action was taken during the board
meeting, as the issue was not on the
agenda for consideration, and was only
brought up by the community for discussion as part of the public comment
period.

One option may be to arm members of

the districts 25-person security
department, some of whom are retired
police officers who have had firearms
training. District officials say they
will also be looking into ways to further coordinate with local law enforcement, which could mean having local
police operate as school resource officers on campus.
Were going to examine all of those
levels, and were going to look at the
training that is needed for all of those
different things, said Rob Dean, the
districts interim director of public
safety. Firearms proficiency is a perishable skill. Its what a police officer
uses the least and needs to practice
with the most. Its not at all how
Hollywood depicts it, trust me.
In Deans opinion, school resource
officers make a lot of sense.
They get used to seeing that officer
there, and they become part of the
community, part of the fabric, Dean
said.
He noted that in preliminary discussions, local law enforcement were
open to considering the option of
school resource officers. San Mateo

The board was not allowed to address

the issue publicly, but Skelly shared a
few spare thoughts expressing his
appreciation for the passion with
which members of the school community spoke.
Ultimately though, he said he could
not offer any specific commentary
regarding Nelsons future, as it is a personnel matter and discussing such
issues publicly would be a violation of
district policy.
We will make decisions that I
believe, as the superintendent, are in
the best interest of the students. But
given the personnel nature, I wont
say anything more than that, said
Skelly.
The superintendents message was
consistent with the position officials
have maintained since the Daily
Journal first reported the groundswell
of support Nelson had received from
the Burlingame community.
After learning he faced transfer,
Nelson fingered Yim as the party
responsible, following a variety of
clashes between the two over management of education programs and differences of opinions regarding the
schools culture, among other concerns.
More than 2,300 people signed an
online petition expressing support for
keeping Nelson at Burlingame High
School, and students have held rallies

Police Chief Susan Manheimer said the

department would welcome the opportunity to work more closely with
College of San Mateo, but she and district Chancellor Rob Galatolo both
noted there would be technicalities and
costs associated with that option to be
taken into account.
We remain open to providing a
school resource officer on the campus
if that is the final determination of the
board, and there would certainly be
great value in that, Manheimer said.
However, should they choose a different security plan, we will still be an
integral part of their overall safety and
security plan as we do provide patrol
and response to their campus and community.
The purpose of the study, according
to Dean and Nunez, is not to make a
recommendation, but to present a full
information report to the Board of
Trustees and begin a dialogue about the
best route to take in the beginning of
May.
Im hopeful that were going to
present a complete, comprehensive
report and have a great conversation,
Dean said.

at the school campus advocating for

him to keep his job.
Yet, as Nelsons fate as a district
teacher remains unknown, the anxiety
of his supporters has continued to rise.
Anne Friedman, a former student of
Nelsons, warned officials that the
longer uncertainty lingers regarding
the outcome of the educators transfer,
the more outspoken members of the
community would be in his support.
We will only get louder, angrier and
more organized, she said.
Fighting back tears while making
her comments, Carol Palmer, whose
son is a former student of Nelson,
emotionally appealed for officials to
reverse their decision.
He respects the kids, and the kids
respect him, she said.
Glenn Mendelson said he believes
reinstating Nelson at Burlingame
High School would go a long way
toward healing a wounded community
feeling threatened by the possibility
of losing one of their favorite teachers.
He said allowing Nelson to keep his
post would be the best solution for
local students, and quash an issue
which he feels has been fueled by ulterior motives.
Many of us in the community feel
politics may have gotten in the way of
what is in the best interest of students, Mendelson said.
