Family urges more law enforcement training

Shooting death of Half Moon Bay woman in June prompts demands at Board of Supervisors meeting
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

While San Mateo County officials strive to provide more Crisis

Intervention Training to first
responders, the family of a young
schizophrenic woman who was
killed by a sheriffs deputy last
year plans to commemorate her
birthday by demanding new protocol for law enforcement.
Just two days before Half Moon

Bay
resident
Yanira Serrano
would
have
turned 19 years
old,
on
Tuesday, April
14, her family
will
present
more
than
postYanira Serrano 1, 000
cards from residents urging the San Mateo
County Board of Supervisors take

immediate measures to deter police

shootings of those with mental
illness.
Serrano was killed June 3 by
sheriffs Deputy Menh Trieu, the
first to respond to the Moonridge
apartments on Miramontes Point
Road after her family called 911
seeking medical attention for the
18-year-old.
Just 30 seconds after arriving on
scene, Trieu, who had not completed
Crisis
Intervention

Training, shot Serrano as she was

allegedly wielding a knife and
advancing on the deputy.
San Mateo County District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe declined
to file charges as he determined
Trieu acted in self-defense.
However, the Serrano family contends they called 911 seeking
help, the shooting of the disabled
young woman was unjustified and
have since filed a claim in the U.S.
District Court in San Francisco.

Instead of celebrating his sisters birthday, Tony SerranoGarcia said he will attend the
Board of Supervisors Tuesday
meeting to demand justice for his
sister.
Its been really hard. I never
thought Id be in this position and
all of this, what were doing, its
not going to bring my sister back.
But all I can do is fight for this to

Restaurants in San Mateo County, like this taqueria on B Street in downtown San Mateo, will be required to post colored placards so customers can see whether they passed a food safety inspection depending on a vote by the Board of Supervisors.

Colors to signify food safety

County to begin new placard system for restaurants

As members of the San Bruno elementary schools community increase fundraising contributions to help solve the
districts financial struggles, officials are considering asking residents to support a parcel tax to provide a sustained,
dedicated funding source.
Officials will consider issuing a request for proposals
from firms willing investigate the feasibility of passing a
parcel tax during the San Bruno Park Elementary School
District Board of Trustees meeting Wednesday, March 15.
The district is looking to turn a corner from the financial
struggles that have plagued it for years, as the board is set

Restaurants in the county will be

required to post either red, yellow or
green placards to signify whether they
have passed a food safety inspection
depending on a Board of Supervisors
vote Tuesday.
Green means pass and the restaurant
will be open during normal business
hours.
Yellow means conditional pass but
inspectors will be back for a second
look soon because the restaurant had
two major violations.
If the placard is red, the restaurant you
are trying to eat at poses an imminent
health hazard and will obviously be
closed.

The son remained in stable condition Monday at Childrens Hospital of

Service club focuses on first responders

Former Burlingame police chief helps form new Peninsula Lions Club
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A community service organization oriented toward those who

serve the community is forming
through the first of its kind
Peninsula First Responders Lions
Club.
After
decades
with
the
Burlingame Police Department,
former police chief Jack Van
Etten, who serves as the Lions
Club International regional district governor, said he realized a
special interest club could go a
long ways.
All of my years in public service are just that, its public service. I appreciate it, just like all
these men and women in the first
responders careers, they appreciate what they do, theyre dedicated
to the job, Van Etten said. I
think its really important the
community help them and be able
to work with them in a charitable
organization like this to give
back to the professionals and give
back to the community and the
individuals that need it.
As district governor of Lions
District 4-C4, Van Etten oversees
42 clubs with 1,250 members in
San Francisco and San Mateo
counties as well as Palo Alto.
Although they still need at least
20 new members to form the first

res p o n ders
club, Van Etten
said the group
will have the
support of the
other community-service
minded Lions
along
the
Jack Van Etten Peninsula.
A longtime
Burlingame Lions Club member,
Van Etten said this special interest
club dedicated to first responders
could be the first of its kind.
We think this is groundbreaking, Van Etten said. Its a way to
get a different focus because you
always think of a communitybased service organization and
this kind of transcends that and
makes it more of a [career] type of
service organization.
Van Etten said part of the excitement of chartering a new Lions
group is those involved get to
pave their own path; however, he
envisions the group attracting current or retired law enforcement,
firefighters, public safety dispatchers, probation officers as
well as anyone in the community
who wants to give back.
Civil servants tend to have
numerous charities that Van Etten
said the new Lions Club could further support. For example, many
firefighters participate in a Fill

the Boot campaign, which raises

funds for the Muscular Dystrophy
Association; burn victim foundations; funds for injured service
members; law enforcements
Special Olympics Torch Run and
Wish Upon a Star, a nonprofit that
helps terminally ill children, Van
Etten said.
We think this is a way that the
public safety people can give back
and, whatever their charities are
right now, they will have a whole
bunch of Lions and groups that can
help make those charities better.
We can get more boots on the
ground to help them, Van Etten
said.
Ultimately, the new Lions members will decide what charities
theyd like to support, how much
to charge for dues and how they
want to structure their efforts, Van
Etten said.
They determine their meetings,
they determine their focus, thats
the exciting thing about a new
charter club, its that the Lions can
choose that themselves, Van
Etten said. You can plot your own
course and drive it yourself, as
opposed to asking permission
from an existing club. So this is a
unique opportunity.
Van Etten said hes hopeful the
new group will coordinate with

Driver accused of fleeing fatal
pedestrian collision pleads not guilty
A man accused of fleeing after fatally hitting
a pedestrian with his truck in Daly City in
December pleaded not guilty Monday morning to a felony hit-and-run causing death
charge, prosecutors said.
While Joro Petrovmoray, 40, is not accused
of causing the accident that killed 77-year-old
Daly City resident Jose Rosel Dec. 4, he has
been charged with a felony for allegedly driving away from the scene without calling for
help, San Mateo County District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe said Monday.
Petrovmoray, a Pacifica resident, was arrested in February after police issued a call for
help finding the truck that struck Rosel as he
walked in a crosswalk on state Highway 35
near Westridge Avenue at about 11:30 p.m.
Rosel was pronounced dead at the scene.
Witnesses provided police with a good

description of the Ford F-150 truck that hit

Rosel and police released the description with
a plea for assistance in late December.
Eventually they tracked the truck to an auto
body shop in San Francisco where
Petrovmoray had allegedly sold it, according
to prosecutors.
Petrovmoray remains free on a $50,000
bail bond and is scheduled to return to court
May 7. His defense attorney, Charles Smith,
was not immediately available for comment
Monday morning.

Drive-by shooting in San Mateo

San Mateo police are investigating a driveby shooting into an occupied home in the

Folkstone Avenue, according to San Mateo
police Sgt. Rick Decker.
No one was injured, however an unoccupied
vehicle sustained two broken windows and

bullet holes were found in the exterior of the

occupied residence, Decker said.
Although police are still trying to determine a motive, Decker said police believe the
home was targeted and not a random act of violence.
Anyone with information regarding the
incident can call San Mateo police at (650)

Bay Areas streets no

better, no worse last year
Since last year, the quality of Bay Area roads
and streets hasnt changed much, according to
new data released Monday by the
Metropolitan Transportation Commission.
The report, which relies on 2014 data from
all nine counties in the region, concluded that
the Bay Areas nearly 43,000 lane-miles of
streets and roads scored an average ranking of
66 out of 100 on a pavement condition index.
Among the Bay Areas three largest cities,
San Francisco led with an average score of 66,
while San Jose came in second with 62 and

Oakland came in last with an average score of

59.
One of MTCs long-held goals is to get the
local street or road network in every one of our
cities and counties to a PCI score of 75 or better, MTC chair and Santa Clara County
Supervisor Dave Cortese said in a statement.
We can take heart that were not losing
ground, but we have a long way to go and still
have a lot of work to do before this goal can be
met, Cortese said.
According to the report, cities that averaged
some of the best scores in the region included
Belvedere (80), Clayton (80), Portola Valley
(80), Foster City (81), Union City (81) and El
Cerrito (81). The two cities with the highest
average score, 86, were Brentwood and
Dublin.
Jurisdictions with the lowest rankings
included Orinda (49), Vallejo (47), Petaluma
(45), St. Helena (45) and unincorporated
Sonoma County (45). The city of Larkspur had
the lowest ranking in the region with a score
of 40.

Reverse Mortgage Financial Assessment to begin April 27 2015 Delayed from March 2
The Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) has issued a nancial
assessment requirement for reverse
mortgage borrowers. Originally due to take
effect on March 2, 2015, HUD has revised the
deadline to April 27, 2015.
In explaining the purpose of nancial
assessment, HUD writes: The mortgagee
must evaluate the mortgagors willingness
and capacity to timely meet his or her
nancial obligations and to comply with
the mortgage requirements. Mortgage
requirements include paying property taxes
and homeowners insurance and keeping up
home maintenance.

HUD states: In conducting this nancial

assessment, mortgagees must take into
consideration that some mortgagors seek a
HECM due to nancial difculties, which may
be reected in the mortgagors credit report
and/or property charge payment history. The
mortgagee must also consider to what extent
the proceeds of the HECM could provide a
solution to any such nancial difculties.
For borrowers who do not demonstrate their
willingness to meet their loan obligations, life
expectancy set-asides will be required.
To perform the assessment, HUD has
provided a list of documents to be collected
and submitted for all borrowers and will

include credit history, income verication,

asset verication, property charge verication,
residual income analysis, documentation of
extenuating circumstances or compensating
factors, and calculations for life expectancy
and residual income shortfall set-asides.
If you have a question about qualifying for a
reverse mortgage today, or how the nancial
assessment will impact your situation,
contact us today.

Obituaries
Tom Toshimitsu Sakai
Tom Toshimitsu Sakai, 79, of San Mateo,
California, died April 8, 2015.
Tom was born in Fukushima, Japan Sept.
20, 1935. He was the third of 10 children.
He came to the United States in 1955. He
started a landscape/gardening business
which lasted over 50 years. He was one of
the original landscapers who created the Tea
Garden in San Mateo.
Tom is survived by his wife of 55 years
Ikuko, daughter Judy, son-in-Law Rob,
grandson Galen, son Jim, daughter-in-law
Yee and niece Cindy. He is also survived by

long term.
Beltrami said some parents have considered
joining the local Parent Teacher Association or
volunteering in the classroom after the class
ends.
Before the program began, Beltrami said she
expected limited enthusiasm from the school
community, but roughly 40 people expressed
initial interest and very few have dropped out
since the classes began.
Im really pleased weve got so many people
who are so dedicated and coming every week,
she said.
Based on the positive feedback, she said she
hopes the program will return to her school
next year, and would like to see it expanded to
other schools across the rest of the district.
This should increase our parent involvement
that will happen over the years, Beltrami said.
I think its helpful not just to my school, but
the rest of the district, and other principals want
it to happen at their schools too.

Many of the parents in the program have students in kindergarten currently, so Beltrami is
hopeful these lessons will continue to increase
participation in programs for the duration of the
students time in the school district.
Some of the courses not only give parents a
chance to learn more about schools, but also for
school administrators to gain a greater understanding about the responsibilities members of
their community have, outside of being parents.
But perhaps the most important takeaway
from the program is the opportunity for parents
to grow their school community, said Beltrami.
Hopefully this is showing them a way to get
involved in the schools, and that it is a positive
thing to be involved. It not just benefits the
school, but it helps the community, and gives
our parents a better sense of belonging.

Truth About Deceptive

Cremation Practices
MILLBRAE

(This was first

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

who may not have had the opportunity to go

through the education system themselves, so
they can learn how to support their children in
the best possible fashion.
This is really good information that parents
might just not understand, she said.
Some of the lessons encourage getting students a head start on college preparedness, and
laying the groundwork that can lead to getting a
secondary education.
Some parents might not understand it is
important for the kids to take certain classes in
elementary, and middle school and high school
so they are ready to get into the school that they
want, she said.
Parents also learn the value of volunteering,
as a way to show their children that school is
important by dedicating their own time to be
the classroom, said Beltrami.
Leading up to graduation, parents are writing
an action plan that outlines ways to implement
the lessons received in the courses over the

cremation societies with talk of lower

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

Audit finds problems in pipe

oversight after deadly blast
By Ellen Knickmeyer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Five years after a deadly natural-gas

explosion in San Bruno, Californias oversight of utilities gas
pipelines still suffers from a lack of focus on safety by top state
regulators, a new audit says.
The audit finds widespread breakdowns in performance by
state-appointed utilities commissioners and by the state Public
Utilities Commission overall since a fiery pipeline breach
killed eight people in San Bruno, California, and heightened
scrutiny of state regulation of Californias 100,000 miles of
natural-gas lines.
The new state-commissioned audit, completed in February
and released last month, faulted management at the commission, including the commissions five state-appointed board
members.
In the years since the blast, frequent management changes,
shifting priorities and reactive responses to internal and external recommendations ... led to a loss of focus, lack of clear
direction, loss of trust in leadership, and unacceptable work
backlogs, auditors said.
The audit, prepared by the Crowe-Horwath consulting firm for
the commission, cited other failings, including a fivefold

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Robert Kennedy Jr. on Monday apologized for describing the number of children injured by vaccines as a holocaust during a film screening last week.
The nephew of President John F. Kennedy and son of former U.S. Attorney General Robert Kennedy used the term last
week at a screening in Sacramento of the film Trace
Amounts. The movie links autism to a vaccine preservative, even though the medical community says such claims
have been scientifically disproved.
Kennedy said he was struggling for a way to convey the
effects of autism on children and their families.
I want to apologize to all whom I offended by my use of
the word holocaust to describe the autism epidemic,
Kennedy said in a statement. I employed the term during an
impromptu speech as I struggled to find an expression to
convey the catastrophic tragedy of autism which has now
destroyed the lives of over 20 million children and shattered

increase since 2010 in the time it took inspectors to prepare

safety inspection reports for gas utilities. California regulators
are now averaging eight months to process inspection reports,
compared with a standard in other states of 15 days to 60 days,
auditors said.
A National Transportation Safety Board investigation soon
after the San Bruno explosion faulted both safety failings by
Pacific Gas & Electric Co. and lax oversight by the states
Public Utilities Commission.
Commission spokeswoman Terrie Prosper said Monday that
utility regulators since the end of last year have redesigned their
inspection process to give inspectors more time out in the field
and speed up inspection reports. Other changes include clearing
a backlog of 382 inspection and incident reports, Prosper said.
However, the audit will likely heighten customer concerns
about shoddy safety practices at PG&E, said Mindy Spatt,
spokeswoman for the ratepayer advocacy group The Utility
Reform Network.
The commission issued a state-record $1.6 billion penalty
against PG&E last week in the San Bruno blast. PG&E has said
it wont appeal.
Federal prosecutors also have notified PG&E they are investigating possible corruption in dealings between the commission and the utility.

Florida governor visits California on jobs-seeking trip

By Michael R. Blood
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Florida Gov. Rick Scott

was looking for jobs in Los Angeles on
Monday.
Not for himself, but for his state.
The two-term Republican is the latest in a
string of out-of-state governors to try to raid
businesses from California, home to nearly
40 million people and by itself one of the
worlds largest economies.
Scott made his pitch to business leaders in
the citys San Fernando Valley, depicting
Florida as a lower-tax, lower-regulation
alternative to California. He argued Florida
has a stronger educational system compared
with its West Coast counterpart, and its a
better deal for families, whether sending a

Three men identified in deadly
dive for California abalone
SAN FRANCISCO Diving for abalone
can be a dangerous sport, but that doesnt
deter the thousands of people who trek to the
northern California coastlines each season to
take a stab at getting some of the prized mollusks.
With prices on the open market often reach-

child to college or paying taxes.

In particular, he said he
wanted his home state to
become the shipping
capital of the world,
referring repeatedly to a
lengthy labor dispute
between West Coast
dockworkers and their
Rick Scott
employers that all but
halted international trade through Los
Angeles and Long Beach, together the
nations busiest ports.
Florida is doing really well, Scott boasted. All weve done is run it like a business.
Texas, Utah and Virginia leaders have also
made trips to California in an attempt to
poach jobs.

Its not an idle concern for California Gov.

Jerry Brown. California-based Tesla is building a massive battery plant in Nevada, and
Toyota is transferring its U.S. headquarters
and about 3,000 jobs from the Los Angeles
suburbs to the outskirts of Dallas.
Browns office released a comment he
made about Scotts visit during a weekend
interview, as well as figures suggesting that
job relocations to other states barely register in the state economy.
California is absolutely the number one
state for job creation and economic growth.
Were growing faster than the nation. So,
everybody wants to come to Silicon Valley,
look at our biocom and look at our agriculture. So, hell find a few things here. I dont
find too many Californians going to Florida
looking for jobs, Brown said.

The appearance before about 100 people at

an event organized by the Valley Industry &
Commerce Association was Scotts only
public stop in a two-day swing through
California. Hes spending most of his time
meeting privately with company executives, in particular those involved in shipping.
He took a swipe at Californias higher tax
rates for personal income Florida has
none and businesses. You have more
taxes than I can imagine getting rid of, he
said.
Asked about the 2016 presidential race,
Scott said he wasnt running and intended to
focus on job growth in Florida. As for
Democratic candidate Hillary Rodham
Clinton, her election would mean four more
years of Barack Obama, he said.

ing $125 a pound, the pull to the Sonoma and

Mendocino county coastlines at the start of
the season in April is strong.
On Sunday, not even two weeks into the
start of the abalone diving season, a group of
10 friends renting a vacation home near
Caspar Anchorage Bay in Caspar, California,
set out to harvest the delicacy. Three of the
men drowned, the first casualties of the season.
The men were diving for the mollusks when
they found themselves in rough waves and
became trapped in the surf of a narrow channel

between two rock outcroppings, Mendocino

Fire Capt. Sally Swan said. Witnesses
described seven- to eight-foot swells.
Its not uncommon for people to travel for
hundreds of miles each day to the rugged coast
to go abalone diving and get their daily limit
of three abalones. But they are often inexperienced and dont assess the danger associated
with the treacherous sport, experts said.
There isnt one agency that keeps statistics
on abalone diving fatalities. But the hunt for
the snail-like mollusks can be treacherous on
the rugged coastline north of San Francisco.

Each season is marked by numerous rescues

and several fatalities.
Last June, an abalone diver fell to his death
while climbing a steep cliff in Mendocino.
The man had been diving for abalone when
rough water may have pushed him and a friend
into a cove not typically used by divers. Last
November, a diver died in the water off the
Sonoma County coast when he stopped
breathing.
In May 2013, there were four deaths in eight
days related to the hunt for shellfish off the
coasts of Sonoma and Mendocino counties.

Rubio announces candidacy

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIAMI Hoping to turn his youth

into a benet, Sen. Marco Rubio
entered the presidential race Monday
with a promise to move the nation
beyond the politics
of the past, a jab at
both Democratic
favorite
Hillary
Rodham Clinton
and his one-time
Republican mentor, former Florida
Gov. Jeb Bush.
Standing in front
Marco Rubio of a banner that
proclaimed A New
American Century, the 43-year-old
Cuban-American used his rst speech
as a presidential candidate to take on
two of Americas political dynasties.
In doing so, he bet heavily on the
electorates
frustrations
with
Washington and his ability to change
how his party is seen by voters.

This election is not just about what

laws we will pass, he said Monday
evening. It is a generational choice
about what kind of country we will
be.
He said its also a choice between
the haves and have-nots, nodding to
his own upbringing by working-class
parents. I live in an exceptional
country where even the son of a bartender and a maid can have the same
dreams and the same future as those
who come from power and privilege.
Rubio spoke rst to his top donors
a day after Clinton announced her bid
for the Democratic nomination and as
she was traveling to Iowa on her rst
trip as a candidate. Rubio, a rst-term
Republican from Florida, told his
most generous backers that he feels
uniquely qualied to pitch his party
as one that will defend the American
Dream.
Rubio said the dream is slipping
away for too many families and young
Americans face unequal opportunities
to succeed. Hes banking on the hope

that he, alone among many GOP

rivals, can make inroads with groups
that have long eluded Republicans
young people, minorities and the less
afuent.
I feel uniquely qualied to not just
make that argument, but to outline the
policies that we need to have in order
to achieve it, he said.
Clintons entrance into the race
with an online video Sunday is robbing some attention from Rubios
splash into the race. But Rubio saw an
opportunity to cast the presidential
contest as one between a fresh face
representing a new generation of leadership and familiar faces harking back
decades namely, the 62-year-old
Bush and the 67-year-old Clinton.
Too many of our leaders and their
ideas are stuck in the 20th century,
he said pointedly in his evening
speech. The time has come for our
generation to lead the way toward a
new American century.
The swipe at Bush was implied; with
Clinton, he was more direct.

Ex-guards to get prison sentences for Iraq shootings

By Sam Hananel
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON A federal judge sentenced former Blackwater security guard

Nicholas Slatten to life in prison and
three others to 30-year terms for their
roles in a 2007 shooting that killed 14
Iraqi civilians and wounded 17 others.
The carnage in Baghdads Nisoor
Square caused an international uproar
over the use of private security guards in
a war zone.
U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth
sentenced Slatten, who witnesses said
was the first to fire shots in the incident, to life on a charge of first-degree
murder. The three other guards Paul
Slough, Evan Liberty and Dustin Heard
were each sentenced to 30 years and
one day in prison for charges that
included manslaughter, attempted
manslaughter and using firearms while

committing a felony.
Lamberth announced the sentences
after a daylong hearing at which defense
lawyers had argued for leniency and presented character witnesses for their
clients, and prosecutors asked that
those sentences the minimums
mandatory under the law be made
even harsher. He rejected both requests.
Based on the seriousness of the
crimes, I find the penalty is not excessive, Lamberth said.
All four were convicted in October for
their involvement in the killings in the
crowded traffic circle in downtown
Baghdad. The legal fight over the
killings has spanned years.
Prosecutors described the shooting as
an unprovoked ambush of civilians and
said the men havent shown remorse or
taken responsibility. Defense lawyers
countered that the men were targeted
with gunfire and shot back in selfdefense.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick

Martin urged the court to consider the
gravity of the crime as well as the sheer
number of dead and wounded and count
every victim.
These four men have refused to
accept virtually any responsibility for
their crimes and the blood they shed
that day, Martin said.
Video monitors in the courtroom
showed photos of the dead and wounded,
as well as images of cars that were riddled with bullets or blown up with
grenade launchers fired by the
Blackwater guards.
The defense argued for mercy, saying
decades-long sentences would be unconstitutionally harsh for men who operated in a stressful, war-torn environment
and who have proud military careers and
close family ties. They also argued the
guards were using weapons that had
been issued by the U.S. State
Department for their protection.

Space station grocery run stalled by storm clouds
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. SpaceX will have to wait
another day to deliver groceries and an espresso maker to the
International Space Station.
Fast-approaching storm clouds prevented the unmanned
rocket from blasting off Monday afternoon. The company
will try again Tuesday afternoon, but more bad weather is
forecast. The odds of acceptable conditions are just 50-50.
SpaceX halted the countdown at the 2 1/2-minute mark as
a menacing storm system moved into the 11-mile keep-out
zone surrounding the Falcon rocket. The company had a single second to get off the ground.
We were in a race, but we didnt quite make it today, a
SpaceX launch commentator said.
The SpaceX supply ship holds more than 4,000 pounds of
food, experiments and equipment. Italy provided the specially designed espresso machine for Italian astronaut Samantha
Cristoforetti, who arrived at the space station last
November.
The espresso maker was supposed to fly in January, but
ended up on backlog following another companys launch
explosion last year. That accident left the space stations
pantry a little emptier than NASA would prefer. The space
agency is trying to get back to a six-month reserve on food.
Once the cargo ship flies, SpaceX will try to land the leftover booster on an ocean barge. It will be the third such landing attempt for the California company led by billionaire
Elon Musk. SpaceX aims to reuse the first-stage boosters
that are normally thrown away, to make spaceflight more
affordable.

Oklahoma deputy charged

in suspects shooting death
OKLAHOMA CITY Prosecutors charged a reserve sheriffs deputy with manslaughter Monday in the death of a man
who was fatally shot as he lay on the ground at the officers
feet a shooting that was certain to raise questions about
the use of volunteer officers to supplement full-time police.
The sheriffs office has said Robert Bates, a 73-year-old
insurance executive who was volunteering on an undercover
operation in Tulsa, mistakenly pulled out his handgun
instead of his stun gun and shot the suspect as he struggled
with deputies.
Bates, who is white, was charged with second-degree
manslaughter involving culpable negligence for the April
2 death of Eric Harris, a 44-year-old black man.
A video of the incident shot by deputies with sunglass
cameras and released Friday at the request of the victims
family, shows a deputy chase and tackle Harris, whom they
said tried to sell an illegal gun to an undercover officer.
As the deputy subdues Harris on the ground, a gunshot
rings out and a man says: Oh, I shot him. Im sorry.
Harris screams: He shot me. Oh, my God, and a deputy
replies: You f---ing ran. Shut the f--- up.
When Harris says hes losing his breath, a deputy replies,
F--- your breath.
Harris was treated by medics at the scene and died in a Tulsa
hospital.
Oklahoma law defines culpable negligence as the omission to do something which a reasonably careful person
would do, or the lack of the usual ordinary care and caution in
the performance of an act usually and ordinarily exercised by
a person under similar circumstances and conditions, Tulsa
County District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler said in a statement.
Tulsa Police Sgt. Jim Clark, who investigated the shooting as an independent consultant at the request of the sheriffs office, concluded that Bates had been so engrossed in
the stress of the moment that he did not think clearly about
what he had in his hand.
The use of reserve officers is commonplace across
Oklahoma and much of the nation. Cities and counties often
turn to them for extra manpower because of a lack of
resources and tight budgets. They are sometimes used to free
up regular officers to concentrate on high-priority duties.

Police search for ex-college

student in campus shooting
GOLDSBORO, N.C. A 20-year-old former community
college student fatally shot a campus print shop director that
he used to work under, just as his old boss arrived for his job
Monday morning, school officials and authorities said.
A manhunt was underway for the suspect, Kenneth Morgan
Stancil III. Authorities are pursuing him on an open count of
murder, Wayne County Sheriff Larry Pierce said.
Authorities believe Stancil has left the area but is still in
North Carolina. They have not released a motive for the
shooting.
Stancil entered a large Wayne Community College building around 8 a.m. with a rifle and went to the third-floor print
shop, perhaps using a back staircase so he would go unnoticed, authorities and school officials said. Stancils former
work-study boss, Ron Lane, was killed in the print shop. He
had worked at the school for 18 years.
Stancil was a third-year student at the college but it wasnt
immediately clear when he last attended.
Police are using helicopters and dogs to search for him.
Authorities werent sure how he left campus, including
whether he left in a vehicle.

The memories will never fade

By Michael OBrien

he memories will never fade.

Those of us who experienced
that part of U.S. history
known as Vietnam have our own
special recollections. Some fondly
conjure a fun-filled time. Other memories invoke powerfully vivid and more
hurtful remembrances that we wished
never happened.
I should have been riding on a cloud
as I cleaned the barbecue. My wife and
I enjoyed a wonderful weekend celebrating our 46th wedding anniversary. Our children and grandchildren
around us made the weekend one that
everyone should experience. It is a
wonderfully rewarding time.
However, I could not black out my
wifes sorrow and my own guilt. I was
unable to erase the thoughts of the
young men who went off to war and
never returned to live out those unfulfilled dreams that we so valuably
cherish.
The Wall That Heals was revered
at Golden Gate National Cemetery
over the past several days (April 912, 2015). Whether you visit The

Guest
perspective
Wall in Washington, D.C. or the
downsized traveling replica you will
have definite feelings or recall specific memories.
The camaraderie of the veterans is
most evident. The closeness of the
shared experience is evident in the
hugs and tears traded by brothers.
Nothing has to be said, no stories
need to be told. The veterans and
their spouses inherently know each
others feelings. It is the 60-something veteran who comes to honor
their teenaged or the 20-something
buddy who will experience neither a
wedding anniversary nor grandchildren.
My wife wept as she touched the
names of the kids and classmates she
grew up with. Teary-eyed, I recalled
my childhood flexirides with a fallen
hero. I carry my own feelings of guilt
for joining the Navy so as not experience Vietnam. Our emotions were

intensified as we poured over 50-yearold Sequoia and Serra high school

yearbooks. We were so young. They
all were too young. The director of
the traveling exhibit was able to scan
the yearbook photos and post the
faces of those kids to the abbreviated
military history of a soldier, sailor or
Marine.
Looking at a yearbook photo, one
sees a kid. They were kids. These were
young men going off to war, never to
see the future. Young men with their
lives ahead of them, girlfriends to
kiss, weddings to plan, anniversaries
to remember and grandchildren to love
and squeeze. All the things we now
take for granted those kids gave up.
The barbecue is clean. Our lives go
on. My wife and I will always be
thankful for our continued experiences. Together we look forward to
our new adventures together. We will
never forget the faces of our friends,
our playmates and our classmates who
are unable to join us and to live out
their young dreams.

Iran nuclear agreement
Editor,
After the Obama administration announced their understanding of the
proposed nuclear agreement, Irans
supreme leader added two new conditions: all sanctions would be removed
at the time of the agreement and no inspection of military facilties would be
done. He is changing the rules in the
middle of the game, stalling for more
time with the already reduced sanctions. This agreement is being
negotiated like buying real estate, with
offers and trade-offs, and the resulting
compromiseis a bad agreement, which
is worse than no agreement.
The difference is instead of owning
real estate, thelikely risk will be Iran
with atomic weapons. That is a risk to
the very survival of Israel, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and other Gulf countries.
The United States must terminate the
proposed agreement, increase the sanctions and maintain military
preparedness.

Focus on supply versus

demand may be unbalanced
Editor,
Regarding the April 13 article,
Schools ramp up outreach on overenrollment issues, your article
seems to lack balance as it addresses
mechanisms to increase classroom
capacity in Foster City and San
Mateo without addressing the causes
of demand for ever increasing numbers of classrooms. Writing as a
Foster City resident, our City Council appears to have an almost
insatiable proclivity to support and
approve additional residential units
without ensuring that classrooms are
available. The 600 students mentioned in your article wouldnt be
looking for classrooms in our district
if the additional housing had not
been approved.
Your article also references the voter
rejection of Measure P. I for one would
appreciate further investigative reporting or perhaps your paper funding a
poll to determine why this ballot
measure failed. 1). Perhaps a tally of
votes, pro and con segregated by Fos-

ter City vs. San Mateo voters and why

2). were many of the no votes due to a
sense that property developers should
contribute a greater share of their profits on sales of land developed for
residential units to providing for the
resulting educational requirements and
rather than forcing all property tax
payers to defray the costs of their profiteering? 3). How expensive would the
housing be if all incremental educational costs were to be included in the
propertys price? 4). Is there a sense
among voters that after a period of a
few years that the school board could
redirect the bond proceeds to purposes
other than promised?
I accept the school districts representations that our educational capacity is
inadequate based upon reasonable assumptions of approved residential
developments in Foster City. I do take
exception to you not addressing the
root cause of the problem being approval of building additional
residential living units without properly assigning the required costs to the
economic beneciaries.

Dear legislators: Please

respect the taxpayers

asten your seatbelt, ladies and gentlemen. Tax day

is upon us. Many of you are probably aware that
the IRS tax filing deadline falls on or around April
15 of each year, exactly one day after my day of birth.
As a staunch fiscal conservative, you can imagine the
bittersweet frustration I feel each year as both holidays
reemerge in my life. I have always enjoyed celebrating my
birthday not for the presents or the wishes of good will
but because it provides me with the opportunity to
reflect on the year behind me, the year before me and the
chance to spend time with the friends and family that I
treasure more than anything else in life.
Sadly, I am reminded at this
time each year that my loved
ones are being taxed more than
ever by the IRS, an agency that
has recently betrayed the trust
of our hardworking taxpayers. I
am also reminded our tax code is
broken and that regardless of
how much our elected officials
increase our taxes, they will
continue to spend money they
do not have. The combined
results are bankrupting our
future and we must ensure better
Jonathan Madison
accountability across the board
by our elected officials. Allow me to elaborate.
In May 2013, the IRS acknowledged that it had selectively targeted nonprofit conservative advocacy groups
applying for tax-exempt status based on key buzzwords in
their title, such as tea party, patriot, and Israel, for
rigorous review.
You probably recall the outrage that resulted from this
flagrant abuse of power, from conservative groups,
Congress and all the way to the Oval Office. In response,
the Department of Justice conducted a thorough review of
IRS records in the months that followed, but high level
officials such as Lois Lerner ultimately escaped the scales
of justice by shredding evidence, dodging questions from
Congress and avoiding the media spotlight. This is just
one example of many where the IRS fundamentally abused
our taxpayer funding and directly invaded our privacy on a
national scale. This is unacceptable.
Like most federal agencies, the IRS is required to submit
a budget proposal to Congress each year. As you might
imagine, the IRS, an organization that exists to file a portion of your earnings to be redistributed throughout the
federal governments ever growing purse, is always in
want of more congressionally allocated funds to perform
their everyday operations effectively.
This year is no exception the IRS is requesting $12.9
billion, which is nearly $2 billion above their approved
funding levels for the current year. On March 31, IRS
Commissioner John Koskinen had the gall to defend a budget increase, telling the National Press Club that his agency
is only answering 43 percent of customer calls. That means
the IRS is ignoring nearly 60 percent of your calls. My verdict when hearing an excuse like that: replace the senior
leadership at the troubled agency with personnel who will
truly put taxpayers first, rather than simply throwing more
of our hard-earned tax dollars at the problem.
Many elected officials have argued that we ought to
abolish the agency entirely. I am not one of them. Having
said that, I am a strong proponent of a simpler, fairer tax
code that will help our individuals find meaningful work
and will allow American businesses to dominate foreign
competitors. Tax reform is not an easy issue to explain,
much less solve, but we must encourage our elected leaders
to fix our broken system.
In the short term, I would encourage each of you to carefully examine the taxes that are stripped from your paycheck each year when tax season comes around. It is my
personal belief that my taxes far exceed the benefits in my
daily life, particularly when they are used to fund agencies
such as the IRS that have time and again betrayed my personal and our collective trust as taxpayers. I will note that
our state is currently ranked first in the country when it
comes to state-level rates at 7.5 percent, but is over $778
billion in state debt. In addition, our countrys national
debt has continued to climb to over $18 trillion.
Beyond these astonishing numbers, we must be mindful
that most hardworking Americans at every end of the
socioeconomic spectrum are being taxed relentlessly
from the wealthy businessman to the single mother working two or three jobs to make ends meet for her children.
We cannot lose sight of the fact that every dollar taxed is
one that affects each and every one of us. As such, we
should rightfully demand prudence by our elected officials
with regard to taxing our hard-earned dollar.

Business in brief
Airline passengers have more to
complain about, report finds
DALLAS Think flying is getting
worse? A pair of university researchers who
track the airline business say its a fact.
More flights are late, more bags are getting lost, and customers are lodging more
complaints about U.S. airlines, government data shows. Dean Headley, a marketing
professor at Wichita State and one of the coauthors of the annual report being released
Monday, said passengers already know that
air travel is getting worse. We just got the
numbers to prove it.
For the third straight year, Virgin America
led the rankings. The niche airline with a
limited route network was followed by
Hawaiian Airlines and Delta Air Lines.
Regional carriers, which operate flights
under names like American Eagle, United
Express and Delta Connection, tend to earn

NEW YORK Investors sent stocks

slightly lower Monday ahead of a busy
week for company earnings.
With little news to move the market
either way, major indexes spent the day
wavering between slim gains and losses.
Stocks started higher in the morning,
turned lower shortly after midday, then
drifted downward until the closing bell.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
80.61 points, or 0.5 percent, to close at
17,977.04. The Standard & Poors 500
index slipped 9.63 points, or 0.5 percent, to 2,092.43. The Nasdaq lost 7.73
points, or 0.2 percent, to 4,988.25.
JetBlue Airways surged after the airline
reported a 9 percent increase in passengers last month compared with the same
period a year ago. The companys stock
gained 80 cents, or 4 percent, to
$19.85.
JPMorgan Chase, Johnson &
Johnson, and Wells Fargo are among the
big names turning in quarterly results
Tuesday as earnings season gets underway. Investors are braced for bad news, a
result of the stronger dollar and low oil
prices squeezing revenues. Analysts
forecast that first-quarter earnings
shrank 3 percent compared with the
same quarter of last year, according to
S&P Capital IQ. If that winds up happen-

the worst marks. They fly smaller planes,

so when airlines are forced to cut flights due
to bad weather, they ground the regionals
first to inconvenience fewer passengers.
Envoy Air, which operates most American
Eagle flights, finished last in the overall
rankings.
But the picture was bleak at the four
biggest U.S. airlines too. On-time performance fell and complaint rates rose at
American, United, Delta and Southwest. The
researchers blamed consolidation through
mergers, which has reduced competition.

West Coast sardine collapse

leads to fishing closure
Fisheries managers have decided to call
off the West Coast sardine fishing season
that starts in July because of rapidly dwindling numbers, hoping to save an iconic
industry from the kind of collapse that hit in
the 1940s and lasted 50 years.
Meeting outside Santa Rosa, California,
the Pacific Fishery Management Council

ing, it would be the first drop in quarterly profits since 2009.

Brad McMillan, chief investment officer for Commonwealth Financial
Network, said those numbers shouldnt
raise too many worries. Usually when
earnings go down it means the economy
is going in the tank, because most earnings come from domestic sales, he said.
This time is different. The big hit to
earnings is from energy companies just
getting hammered by oil prices. And a
big chunk of the rest is from the stronger
dollar.
Major stock markets in Europe were
mixed. Germanys DAX sank 0.3 percent, while Frances CAC 40 rose 0.3
percent. Britains FTSE 100 fell 0.4 percent.
Markets in China jumped on expectations that Beijing will launch additional
support for the worlds second-largest
economy. Imports fell 12 percent in
March from a year earlier and exports
declined 15 percent. That added to signs
that economic growth in the first three
months of the year, due to be reported
Wednesday, might decline further from 7
percent the previous quarter.
Hong Kongs Hang Seng gained 2.7
percent, closing at its highest level
since December 2007. The Shanghai
Composite Index climbed 2.1 percent,
hitting its highest level since March
2008. In Japan, the Nikkei 225 closed

voted Sunday to close the season starting

July 1.
The council now is considering whether
overfishing has been a factor in the latest
collapse, which could trigger an emergency
shutdown of the current season, which runs
through June.
The once-thriving sardine industry
crashed in the 1940s. It revived in the
1990s when fisheries developed in Oregon
and Washington waters, but population estimates have been declining since 2006, and
catch values since 2012. The reasons are
not well-understood.

New rules proposed as 5-year

anniversary of oil spill nears
WASHINGTON A week shy of the fifth
anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon oil
spill, the Obama administration proposed
new regulations Monday aimed at strengthening oversight of offshore oil drilling
equipment and ensuring that out-of-control
wells can be sealed in an emergency.

nearly unchanged.
Back in the U.S., Builders FirstSource
said its buying ProBuild, a supplier of
building materials, for roughly $1.6 billion, aiming to expand its geographic
reach. The deal is expected to close in
the second half of the year. Builders
FirstSource soared $4.67, or 68 percent,
to $11.57.
Two gold mining companies, Alamos
Gold and AuRico Gold, announced a plan
to merge on Monday in a deal worth $1.5
billion. Its the latest merger between
gold miners attempting to cut costs in
the face of slumping prices for precious
metals. Alamos Gold jumped 39 cents,
or 6 percent, to $6.28. The price of gold
has lost a third of its value since late
2012, when it traded as high as $1,780
an ounce.
Gold and other precious metals fell
slightly in Monday trading. Gold lost
$5.30 to settle at $1,199.30 an ounce,
while silver slid 9 cents to $16.29.
Copper lost 2 cents to $2.72.
Prices for U.S. government bonds
crept up, pushing the yield on the 10year Treasury note down to 1.93 percent.
In the market for oil and gas, benchmark U.S. crude oil rose 27 cents to
close at $51.91 a barrel on the New York
Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude, a
benchmark for many oils imported by
U.S. refineries, gained 6 cents to $57.93
a barrel.

The explosion of the Deepwater rig on

April 20, 2010, killed 11 people and
dumped as many as 172 million gallons of
oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
Federal safety investigators blamed a
faulty blowout preventer for the spill and
called for stronger regulations of the equipment that prevents oil and gas from rushing
to the surface and triggering a spill.
The proposed rule would require that
blowout preventers in wells have two shear
rams, which cut through the drill pipe and
allow the well to be sealed in an emergency.
In the Deepwater Horizon spill, a single
shear ram failed to operate properly.
The redundancy is already an industry
standard. The rule also requires an annual
review of maintenance and repair records by
government-approved inspectors.
Many offshore drillers already have the
capability to monitor from afar their
drilling operations. The regulation would
require that government workers have
access to those facilities when necessary.

Giants offense a no-show in home opener

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO World Series MVP

Madison Bumgarner mounted a horse in the
outfield, rode it around the warning track and
handed off the San Francisco Giants latest
championship flag to Matt Cain for the final
task of sending it up the pole.
Colorados players stood and watched it
all from the opposing dugout.
After all that fanfare following another

celebratory home opener, the Giants missed

chances and lost their fourth straight game
with a 2-0 defeat to the Rockies on Monday.
You hate to lose your opener, manager
Bruce Bochy said. A big day with the ceremonies. ... We just couldnt get a timely hit.
Eddie Butler outdueled fellow rookie Chris
Heston and shut down the Giants in their
home opener.
Troy Tulowitzki, back in the lineup after a
day off, had the only RBI of the game with a
run-scoring single in the fourth against

Heston (1-1). San Francisco raised its third

World Series championship flag in five
years before the game.
Bumgarner who will be honored again
Tuesday cleared the horse riding with
Bochy beforehand. Cain and other members
of all three World Series champion teams
hoisted the flag: Tim Lincecum, Jeremy
Affeldt, Sergio Romo, Santiago Casilla and
Javier Lopez. Catcher Buster Posey was in
the bullpen warming Heston.
I could probably say Ill probably never get

a chance to do that again, Bumgarner said. I

dont know if anybodys ever done that before
or not. It was pretty interesting and it was fun
to do in front of fans here at home.
Facing the Giants for the first time, Butler
(1-0) tossed 5 1/3 innings of five-hit ball,
walking six with one strikeout. Colorados
2012 first-round pick worked out of basesloaded jams in the first and second innings.

he most important round in

Jordan Spieths young career
began with a little perspective
from his caddie.
Texas was playing a college match
Sunday in California at Pasatiempo Golf
Club. Spieth would have been in his senior year with the Longhorns if not for
dropping out during as a sophomore to
try to make a living on the PGA Tour.
As they stood on the rst tee, Spieth
said Michael Greller told him, Arent you
glad youre not at Pasatiempo right now?
Looks like it was a good career move
for the 21-year-old Texan, who traded
burnt orange for a
green jacket.
After having a
laugh about where
they were, and just
how they got there,
Spieth birdied the
rst hole and was on
his way to a performance that ranks
among the best at the
Masters.
He set scoring
records for 36 holes
(130) and 54 holes
(200), and a bogey
on the nal hole Sunday meant he had to
share the record for 72 holes (270) with
Tiger Woods. He had the lowest start by a
champion (64). He made more birdies
(28) in one tournament than anyone in
78 previous Masters.
The only number that really mattered to
Spieth was 42 his jacket size.
Its the most incredible week of my
life, Spieth said. This is as great as it
gets in our sport.
But even as he tried to fathom all he
accomplished, it was that joke on the
rst tee that was even more difcult to
comprehend.
Spieth turned pro in late 2012 without
a PGA Tour card and no idea where the
road would take him. It led to victory as a
19-year-old rookie, to being selected as

Crabtree announces deal to join Raiders

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders have

agreed to a deal with free agent wide receiver Michael Crabtree.
Crabtree announced on his Twitter account
that he is joining the Raiders and the team
confirmed the signing later Monday night.
He will become a Raider six years later
than many people expected. Oakland passed
on Crabtree in the 2009 draft even though
he was considered the top-ranked receiver.
The Raiders instead took the faster Darrius

Heyward-Bey seventh
overall, three spots
before Crabtree went to
the San Francisco 49ers.
Crabtree has proven to
be the better receiver than
Heyward-Bey, who was
cut after four ineffective
years in Oakland. But his
production has been limMichael
ited in recent years by
Crabtree
injuries and the Niners
made little effort to keep him in free agency.
Crabtree had 68 catches for 698 yards and

four touchdowns last season, when he had

the sixth-lowest yards per catch of any wide
receiver at 10.3.
His best season came in 2012 when he had
85 catches for 1,105 yards and nine touchdowns, while helping San Francisco make it
to the Super Bowl. But Crabtree tore his
Achilles tendon the following offseason
and was limited to 19 catches for 284 yards
in five games in 2013.
In six seasons with San Francisco,
Crabtree caught 347 passes for 4,327 yards
and 26 touchdowns.
The Raiders have been in need of help at

receiver for years. Oakland hasnt had a

player top 1,000 yards receiving in a season since Randy Moss did it in 2005.
James Jones led the team last season with
73 catches but gained only 666 yards, an
average of just 9.1 yards per catch. Oakland
has not added another receiver yet this offseason despite a glaring need for playmakers to help quarterback Derek Carr.
Oakland should get a boost with the return
of Rod Streater from a foot injury that forced
him to miss the final 13 games last season.
The Raiders also could add help in the draft
where they pick fourth overall.

Thompsons 42 ODowds Rabb commits to Cal

paces Warriors
in season finale
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

By Antonio Gonzalez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Klay Thompson scored 26

of his 42 points in a sensational second
quarter, and the Golden State Warriors beat
the undermanned Memphis Grizzlies 111107 on Monday night.
The All-Star guard outshined teammate and
MVP candidate Stephen Curry for a change
with his own streaky shooting stretch.
Thompson finished 15 of 21 from the floor,
including 8 of 10 from 3-point range, to
help the top-seeded Warriors (66-15) tune up
for the playoffs with another impressive
performance.
Golden State led by 32 points in the third
quarter before resting its regulars. Memphis
moved within four in the final seconds to
give the game a little drama.
But the rally came too late.
The Grizzlies (54-27) slipped to sixth in
the Western Conference standings, including a game behind San Antonio (55-26) and
Houston (55-26) in the Southwest Division.
Memphis, which is trying to win its first
division title, hosts Indiana in Wednesdays
season finale.
Thompson made his first eight shots from
the floor, mixing in mid-range jumpers and
crafty layups with his usual 3-point prowess.
He scored 11 points in the first quarter to help
Golden State go ahead 36-21, then showed
off his near-unstoppable stroke.
Thompson made 10 of 13 shots in the second quarter, including 6 of 7 from 3-point
range. He was in such a groove that his
teammates turned down open shots, frantically looking to get him the ball, while the
announced sellout crowd of 19,596 chanted,
Klay! Klay! Klay!

allowing Johnston to earn the completegame victory. The southpaw allowed one
unearned run on five hits. And once he seized
the lead, he retired the side in order in the
bottom of the seventh to seal the 4-1 win.
Ray Fal k, Terra No v a bas ebal l . The
Tigers grinded out a dramatic 2-1 win at
Santa Cruz last Wednesday behind another
stellar effort by Falk. The senior right-hander went the distance, allowing just one run
on four hits, improving his record to 5-1
with a 1.17 ERA.
Ery n McCo y, Hi l l s dal e s o ftbal l .
The Lady Knights find themselves in first
place in the Peninsula Athletic League Bay
Division, a rare feat at this juncture of the
season throughout modern history with the

dominance of Carlmont. Hillsdale, at 6-0 in

Bay Division play, stays a half game ahead
of Carlmonts 5-0 league record. McCoys
performance last Thursday in a 3-0 win over
Woodside looms large as the junior fired a
two-hit shutout with nine strikeouts.
Matt McGarry and A. J. Lemo ns ,
Menl o -Atherto n bas ebal l . The Bears
won two of three games last week, splitting
a two-game series with Sequoia in Peninsula
Athletic League Bay Division play before
downing Watsonville in a nonleague
matchup. McGarry was solid on the mound
in last Wednesdays 7-2 win over the
Cherokees. The senior right-hander earned
his second consecutive complete-game victory, allowing two runs on six hits while
striking out nine. In Saturdays 5-4 walk-off
win over Watsonville, Lemons took a hardluck no-decision despite working six
innings, allowing four runs though just
one was earned while striking out seven.
Kat h ry n Mo h r, Me n l o - At h e rt o n
track and fi el d. The versatile junior captured two gold medals at Saturdays Serra
Top 7 Invitational. Mohr claimed the podium for the 100-yard dash with the best time
of 13 minutes, 6 seconds. Then she dominated the pole vault by taking first place
with a vault of 12 feet, topping
Presentation junior Sydney Jaques secondplace vault of 11 feet, 6 inches.
Annal i s a Cro we, Menl o -Atherto n.
The junior paced a dominant M-A showing
in each the 800-meter dash and the 1,600 at
Saturdays Serra Top 7 Invitational. The

Lady Bears claimed the top three spots in

the 800. Crowe claiming gold with a time of
2 minutes, 21.43 seconds; fellow M-A junior Cat DePuy took second with a 2:27.04;
and M-A freshman Olivia Shane took third
with a 2:28.22. Crowe also topped the field
in the 1,600 with a time of 5:19.86; DePuy
took second place with a 5:21.58.
Adam Scandl y n, Menl o -Atherto n
track and fi el d. After Annalisa Crowe
tabbed wins in the 800-meter dash and the
1,600 for the M-A girls, Scandlyn made it a
clean sweep by winning both events on the
boys side at Saturdays Serra Top 7
Invitational. The senior Scandlyn claimed
first place in the 800 with a time of 1
minute, 58.37 seconds. He followed up with
gold in the 1,600 with a 4:22.98.
Rafael a Dade, Capuchi no s o ftbal l .
The Lady Mustangs cruised past Sequoia 9-1
last Friday as Dade earned her first victory
since March 17. The right-hander allowed
just one unearned run on four hits while striking out seven. She owns a mere 3-8 record
this season, though that is misleading as she
has dominated to the tune of a 1.90 ERA.
Al ex Wal ds mi th, Burl i ng ame bas ebal l . What a varsity starting-pitching
debut it was for the junior. Waldsmith battled through a dodgy first-inning to earn a
complete-game victory in the Panthers 4-2
comeback win over Capuchino last Friday.
The right-hander allowed two runs on four
hits while striking out seven to earn his
first victory of the season as Burlingame
completed a two-game sweep of Cap.

HOUSTON Billy Butler hit a three-run

homer and Marcus Semien and Brett Lawrie
connected to back a solid start by Scott
Kazmir and give the As a 8-1 win over the
Astros on Monday night.
Kazmir (2-0) allowed three hits and one
run while striking out eight in six innings.
The Athletics scored three runs in the first
inning before Lawries solo shot in second
made it 4-0. Semien added a one-run homer
in the fifth inning before Butlers first
home run this season pushed it to 8-1 later
in the inning.
Butler has hit safely in each game this
season and has the only eight-game hitting
streak in the American League.
Jose Altuve had three hits of Houstons
five hits, including a solo home run in the
fourth inning.
Houston starter Scott Feldman (0-2) yielded 10 hits and eight runs seven earned
in five innings for the loss.

He was replaced by Asher

Wojciechowski, who was
scheduled to start Tuesday
night, for the sixth
inning. Wojciechowski
gave up two hits in four
scoreless innings.
The As got things
going early when leadoff
batter Sam Fuld reached
Billy Butler
on an error by Jonathan
Villar. Mark Canha followed with an RBI
double and reached third on another error by
Villar. Canha has hit safely in each of the
first six games of his career.
A double by Ben Zobrist, who finished
with three hits, scored Canha before a oneout RBI single by Ike Davis made it 3-0.
Feldman finally escaped the inning when
Stephen Vogt grounded into a double play.
Lawrie sent the first pitch of the second
inning over the wall in center field to
extend the lead to 4-0.
Kazmir was perfect through the first three
innings but Altuve homered to start the

in his first start since returning from a hamstring injury. The

senior right-hander showed no ill effects after missing two
weeks, allowing two hits over four innings of work against
the West Catholic Athletic League opponent Riordan.
I was ready for it, Pratt said. I felt good about what I had
going into the game and just pitched the best I can.
With the Scots leading 2-0, Pratt gave way for Stewart, a
junior-right-hander who has served mainly as Carlmonts No.
2 starter this season. Despite giving up two hits and three
walks through two innings, Stewart bridged the gap in just his
third relief appearance of the season.
For Stewart, in his first varsity season, it was a quick transition to the baseball season after playing varsity soccer in
the winter. Only three days passed between the end of soccer
season and the first baseball game in which he pitched. Yet
hes been a force with a 3-1 record and a 2.19 ERA.
Giberton entered in the seventh inning amid a jam. The senior was the pitcher who spelled Pratt in the rotation for two
weeks, but has since returned to the closers role. Giberton
showed why he is suited for the late-inning pressure by pitching out of a bases-loaded, no-out jam.
The right-handed Giberton entered with two runners on and
inherited a 2-0 count to the batter. He went on to walk the
bases loaded but buckled down to strike out the next two batters before inducing a game-ending groundout.
I started attacking them with fastballs and then got them to
strike out with changeups, Giberton said. I wasnt concerned with the runs scoring. I was just trying to get the outs.
Saturday, Wright picked up right where his fellow Scots
pitchers left off. In the first start of his varsity career, the senior right-hander dealt, allowing just one hit over five innings
of work. Like many of Carlmonts arms, Wright has proven a
versatile weapon between the bullpen and the rotation.
At this point, Joe and Spencer are the main starters,
Wright said. The rest of us can start or relieve. Whatever
needs to be done.
Yao has served in both roles as well this season, but has
been used exclusively in relief after tabbing two starts at the
beginning of the year. He was cruising along Saturday en route
to his first save, but the shutout faced some peril when Yao
gave up a one-out double in the seventh. The San Mateo runner ultimately was left stranded at third base when Yao induced
a groundout to first base.
We had a lot of momentum in that game, so I started attacking from the first pitch, Yao said. Mitchell did a great job
so I just attacked hitters and finished it out.
Carlmont currently owns a 14-5 overall record, the best
overall mark in the Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division.
In league, the Scots have a 5-3 record and are currently tied for
fourth place.
On the softball diamond though, the Lady Scots are right in
the thick of the PAL Bay Division race. Carlmont is one of
two teams with unbeaten league records along with Hillsdale.
One of the reasons Carlmont has picked up where it left off after
winning a Central Coast Section title last season is the arrival of
McLemore. The freshman had big shoes to fill in replacing PAL
Bay Division Player of the Year Rebecca Faulkner.
Carlmont has been known for having really strong pitchers, so I just wanted to come out and contribute, McLemore
said. The job I did in the circle helped me to become a starting pitcher.
Last Thursdays gem was McLemores best performance to
date as she improved her record to 8-2 with a 1.86 ERA.
Its just a lot of fun being one of the top teams and coming
out for Carlmont after they had such a successful season last
year, McLemore said.

for only the third time in the San

Francisco era and first since home
run king Barry Bonds final season
of 2007.
Fourth Rockies reliever Rafael
Betancourt struck out two in a perfect
ninth for his first save since Aug.
20, 2013. Colorado matched its best
road start at 4-0, also done in 2006.
Just the second rookie in San
Francisco history to start a home
opener, Heston allowed one earned
run, struck out five and walked two
over seven strong innings. His parents were in the stands among the
42,019 fans at sold-out AT&T Park
for the occasion.
In the seventh, Giants shortstop
Brandon Crawford saved a run when he
stopped a hard grounder for a single by
LeMahieu. Nick Hundley doubled with
two outs but had to hold up at third.

Hundley

Chris Heston reached in with

I think when I went to tag him he

rolled into my glove and rolled the
ball out, Heston said. It was a little
unfortunate. It happens.
Bochy challenged but the call was
upheld in 1 minute, 22 seconds.

double play before he retired Evan Gattis to
limit the damage.
Semiens homer to the Crawford Boxes
start the fifth inning made it 5-1. Butlers
home run came with one out in the inning to
push Oaklands advantage to 8-1.
The Astros had a chance to cut the lead in
the sixth inning when they had runners on
first and second with two outs, but Gattis
struck out to end the inning. Gattis got his
first hit since a homer on Sept. 6 with a single to start Houstons ninth. That hit snapped
an 0-for-37 skid with 17 strikeouts, including
an 0 for 23 slump with 13 Ks this season.

Sharks face uncertainty about McLellans future

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN JOSE Instead of answering the

annual questions about what it would take for
San Jose finally to break through in the NHL
playoffs, the Sharks are spending the start
of this postseason facing even bigger questions.
While 16 teams begin preparations for the
playoffs, the Sharks have already begun the
offseason after missing the postseason for
the first time since 2003. They face plenty
of uncertainty about the future of coach Todd
McLellan and the direction of the franchise.
San Jose had made 10 straight playoff
berths for the third-longest streak in the four
major North American team sports before
taking a major step backward this season
when the Sharks finished 12th in the 14team Western Conference.
San Joses point total fell from 111 to 89
in just one season, placing McLellans job
in jeopardy. The Sharks have the third-most
wins in the NHL since McLellan arrived
before the 2008-09 season, but that has not

Ex-NFL RB Phillips
suspected of killing
his prison cellmate
By Scott Smith
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FRESNO Former NFL running back

Lawrence Phillips is suspected of killing
his cellmate in a Central California prison,
officials said Monday.
Phillips cellmate at Kern Valley State
Prison was found lifeless early Saturday and
later pronounced dead, prison spokesman
Lt. Marshall Denning said in a statement.
Phillips, 39, was once one of the nations
top college football players at Nebraska. He
played for the St. Louis Rams, until being
released in 1997 for insubordination. He
also played for the Miami Dolphins and San
Francisco 49ers.
Phillips is serving a sentence of more
than 31 years. He was convicted of twice
choking his girlfriend in 2005 in San Diego
and later that year of driving his car into
three teens after a pickup football game in
Los Angeles. It wasnt clear if Phillips has
an attorney.
He is suspected of killing Damion
Soward, a 37-year-old inmate from San
Bernardino County serving 82 years to life
for a first-degree murder conviction.

led to postseason success.

San Jose won the
Presidents Trophy as the
top regular-season team
in 2009 only to fall in
the first round to
Anaheim. They then
made back-to-back trips
Todd McLellan to the conference finals
the next two seasons, but
have won one playoff series in McLellans
past four seasons.
Theres going to be review time,
McLellan said after the season ended. Our
management group, our ownership group is
going to review every aspect of our organization like they do most years and our
coaching staff will come under that review.
But I have to do my own personal review
too.
McLellan said he plans to sit down with
his family Tuesday to discuss his future and
the team will hold season-ending meetings
the following day.
Ill look at the impact Ive had and can

have moving forward and well go from

there, McLellan said.
McLellan has strong support among the
players, many of whom have developed into
NHL stars under his stewardship in San Jose.
Todd is an incredible coach, center
Logan Couture said. He has my respect and
I respect the whole coaching staff a massive
amount. Ive learned a lot from every single
one of those guys. I wouldnt be the player I
am right now without them. I hope hes back
and the whole coaching staff is back, but its
not my call.
Couture and McLellan spoke following a
third straight season-ending loss to the Los
Angeles Kings. The circumstances couldnt
have been more different following
Saturdays game than they were the previous
two seasons.
In 2013, the Sharks lost a tense, sevengame, second-round series to the Kings with
the home team winning every game. It only
got more painful last season when San Jose
became just the fourth NHL team to lose a
best-of-seven series after winning the first
three games.

That sent the Sharks into of offseason of

soul-searching in which the leadership and
culture of the team was put in question.
General manager Doug Wilson talked about
the need to take a step backward with a youth
movement before being able to reach the
ultimate goal of the franchises first Stanley
Cup championship.
Those comments rankled some of the
players with star Joe Thornton getting
stripped of his captaincy and then disagreeing at the start of training camp with
Wilsons assessment that the Sharks were a
tomorrow team.
That tension only grew as the season went
on and boiled over when Wilson told season-ticket holders in March that Thornton
had a tendency to lash out at people in
stressful situations and Thornton responding that his GM should shut his mouth and
stop lying.
The two publicly made up shortly after
that. But the team never truly rebounded
from last seasons playoff collapse and now
must figure out what needs to be done to turn
things around.

SPIETH

The par-5 eighth hole

is where it all started to
go wrong last year. He
had a two-shot lead and
made bogey to Watsons
birdie. On the ninth
hole, Spieths shot came
up a fraction short and
tumbled down the front
Jordan Spieth of the green and back
into the fairway, leading
to another bogey. Watson birdied and suddenly was two shots ahead, and Spieth didnt have the power or the putting to catch
up.
This year was different. His lead down to
three shots, Spieth made a simple birdie on
the eighth hole. This time, his approach
on the ninth was fraction long enough to
land on the ridge and stay put. He made par,
and Justin Rose had a three-putt bogey to
fall ve shots behind.
There was only one shaky moment after
that. Spieth was four shots ahead and looking at a two-shot swing on the 16th when
Rose had 15 feet for birdie and Spieth faced
an 8-foot putt for par. Rose missed. Spieth
made. He was on his way.
It was probably one of the best putts he
hit all day, Rose said.
Its tempting to declare Spieth as golfs
next big star after such a performance and
the elite company he joins. In the last century, only four players have three PGA Tour
titles that include a major before turning 22
Spieth, Woods, Tom Creavy and Gene
Sarazen. He was the rst wire-to-wire win-

ner at Augusta in 39 years. He already is

No. 2 in the world, and he still has work to
do to reach Rory McIlroy at No. 1.

Continued from page 11

the youngest American to play in the
Presidents Cup, to the nal group at the
Masters in his debut last year and losing a
two-shot lead with 11 holes to play.
Its all run together. It all happened
quickly, Spieth said. Sometimes it feels
like a long time ago. And sometimes it
feels like yesterday. All in all, its really
cool.
It was the disappointment of last year
that ultimately carried him to a four-shot
victory Sunday.
He watched Bubba Watson celebrate
another Masters title, and all the perks and
celebrity that came with it. He knew that
could have been him.
So you get reminded of it all the time,
because when youre Masters champion,
its a different legacy, Spieth said. And
so that denitely left me hungry. And then
also, having a chance to win the last couple of week and not pulling it off.
He was runner-up in the Texas Open and
lost in a playoff at the Houston Open
before arriving to Augusta.
So the combination of the two allowed
me to keep my head down, not worry about
anyone else in the eld except myself and
to play a golf course that is my favorite
course in the world, he said.

Golf is craving a rivalry, and this has all

the trappings of one, especially because
the world ranking has never had No. 1 and
No. 2 both 25 or younger. Its worth waiting to see if other young players emerge
the rest of the year in the majors, such as
Jason Day or even Hideki Matsuyama, who
nished fth.
But that Friday at Augusta, when Spieth
shot 66 and built a ve-shot lead, felt a lot
like Friday at Congressional when McIlroy
began to bury the U.S. Open eld in 2011.
Hes way more mature than I was at 21,
and a hell of a golfer and a great person as
well, McIlroy said.
McIlroy was not ready to think about a
rivalry, even though he stated his goal
very clearly that he wants to be No. 1. This
was a big step, but it was only a step.
Hes got four majors, Spieth said of
McIlroy. Thats something I can still only
dream about.
If history is any indication, the kid is a
quick study. And he seems to be in a hurry
to get where hes going.
As for the Longhorns?
They registered a 14-shot victory at
Pasatiempo on Sunday in the Western
Intercollegiate. They didnt need that
Spieth guy, anyway.

Phelps enters Tahoe gondola would connect Sierra Nevada resorts

five events in
latest return
By Martin Griffith

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MESA, Ariz. Michael Phelps is entered

in five events in his first meet since returning from a six-month suspension.
The 18-time Olympic champion will compete in the Arena Pro
Swim Series meet in
Mesa, Arizona, that
begins Wednesday.
Phelps is entered in the
100-meter butterfly on
Thursday, 100 backstroke and 400 freestyle
on Friday, and 200 indiMichael Phelps vidual medley and 100
free on Saturday. Also
entered in those same five events is his
longtime rival Ryan Lochte.
The Mesa meet was the first one Phelps
swam in after coming out of a 20-month
retirement last year.
Phelps suspension ended April 6. He entered
a six-week inpatient rehabilitation program a
day after the suspension was announced in
October. He has since gotten engaged.
Phelps last competition was the Pan
Pacific Championships in August. He was
arrested on DUI charges in his hometown of
Baltimore in September.
The 29-year-old swimmer also was banned
from participating in this summers world
championships in Russia, although USA
Swimming has had informal discussions
about Phelps possibly competing. Phelps
qualified for the world meet in the 100-meter
butterfly, 100 free and 200 individual medley
before being suspended.

RENO, Nev. A resort operator

announced plans Monday to build a highspeed gondola connecting two Lake Tahoe
slopes and creating one of the largest ski
areas in the country.
The gondola will link Alpine Meadows
with Squaw Valley, which hosted the 1960
Winter Olympics and later slipped in positions after the development of major
resorts in Colorado, Utah and elsewhere.
The move follows a similar effort in Utah
by another company to create a gondola
connection between two major resorts.
Conservationists who have been fighting
a larger expansion plan at the ski resort said
they have concerns about the proposed gondola but will reserve judgment on the idea
until
they
see
more
details.
Environmentalists are already fighting with
businesses over a plan to build 10-story
high rises and a large indoor water park that
they believe could mar the picturesque
mountain landscape surrounding Lake
Tahoe.
The gondola would make it easier for
skiers and snowboarders to experience the
different terrain of the adjoining Sierra
Nevada resorts in California while reducing
vehicle traffic between them, said Andy
Wirth, president and CEO of Squaw Valley
Ski Holdings LLC.
We are quite confident that this connection and providing one experience will
return us to being one of the pre-eminent
destinations in all of North America,
Wirth told The Associated Press. Now, you
basically have this incredible pairing of
mountains, this easy to get back and forth,
and it makes it one experience.
The project is pending review by U.S.
Forest Service and Placer County,
California.
Todays announcement raises a wide
range of questions about the future of Squaw

Valley, Alpine Meadows and Lake Tahoe,
said Tom Mooers, executive director of the
nonprofit Sierra Watch.
We look forward to seeing the specifics
in an actual proposal so we can address
important issues ranging from threats to
the neighboring Granite Chief Wilderness
Area to potential changes to the Tahoe skiing experience, he said.
Connecting the two mountains has been
a vision of the resorts founders and skiers
for six decades, Wirth said, and the combined 6,000 acres of skiable terrain would
make it among the nations largest.
Last month, Vail Resorts Inc. received
approval from Park City, Utah, planning
officials to build a high-speed gondola that
would connect two ski resorts it owns
there. The company said the lift linking
Park City Mountain Resort and Canyons
Resort would offer a combined 7,300 acres
of skiable terrain and make it the largest ski
area in the United States.

The 1997 merger of the Whistler and

Blackcomb resorts north of Vancouver,
British Columbia, formed the largest ski
resort in North America, with some 8,000
acres of skiable terrain.
Wirth said a major stumbling block was
recently removed when his company
reached an agreement with Troy Caldwell,
who owns property located between the two
resorts, to create the base-to-base gondola
connection.
Alpine Meadows is known for more family-friendly terrain while Squaw Valley
offers some of the worlds most challenging slopes.
Wirth declined comment on the cost of
the project, saying the company is still in
negotiations with the lift manufacturer.
The company has designed the project to
reduce its aesthetic and environmental
impacts, and plans to submit its plans to
the governmental agencies within two
months, Wirth said.
We think the project is very approvable, he said, adding the gondola will be
located in such a way that it wont be visible from the adjoining Granite Chief
Wilderness.
Squaw Valley has scaled back separate
expansion plans for its village after environmentalists voiced concerns that mountain views, traffic and water supplies would
be adversely affected. Placer County is
expected to release a draft environmental
impact report on the plans later this
spring, Wirth said.
Mooers said that while the latest version
of the expansion plan is an improvement,
it still would result in the construction of
up to 750 new hotel-condominium units
and about 1,500 new hotel bedrooms.

90 percent of adults now have health insurance

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Underlining a change

across the nation, nearly 9 out of 10 adults
now say they have health insurance, according to an extensive survey released Monday.
As recently as 2013, slightly more than 8
out of 10 had coverage.
Whether the new number from the GallupHealthways Well-Being Index turns out to be a
high-water mark for President Barack
Obamas health care law, or a milestone on the
path toward his goal of getting virtually all
U.S. residents covered, remains to be seen.

The laws future is still up in the air, and will

turn on factors ranging from an upcoming
Supreme Court decision on consumer subsidies to actions by Republican leaders in states
opposed to Medicaid expansion.
The Gallup-Healthways survey found that
the share of adults who lack insurance dropped
to 11.9 percent for the first three months of
this year, the lowest level since that survey
began its tracking in 2008. The latest update
overlaps with the period when the health
laws second sign-up season was winding
down.
Coverage gains from 2014-2015 translate
to about 3.6 million fewer adults uninsured

since the fall, before open enrollment got

under way, according to Gallup.
The Affordable Care Act had three major
objectives: increase coverage, slow the rate of
increase in costs, and improve health, said
Dan Witters, research director for the poll.
The first one is clearly a win. Coverage is
increasing; there is no question about it.
On balance, an estimated 14.75 million
adults have gained coverage since the fall of
2013, when the laws first open enrollment
season was about to begin, according to
Gallup.
A big outstanding question is what will
happen over the next couple of years, said

Larry Levitt, a health insurance expert with

the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation.
To meet expectations, enrollment has to
continue to grow and push the number of uninsured down.
The Gallup-Healthways survey is closely
followed because it combines the depth of
government-sponsored research with the
timeliness of media polls. Pollsters interview
500 people a day, nearly every day of the year.
One of the questions they ask is whether people have health insurance.
The health care law offers subsidized private

Ebola still a global

emergency despite
large drop in cases

Combining Western & Chinese Medicine to bring you relief

By Maria Cheng

Acupuncture, a 4000 year old natural healing method, can treat a variety of ailments without side
effects. Dr. Chung uses her knowledge & experience in both Traditional Chinese Medicine &
Western Medicine to diagnosis & to treat her patients with the latest techniques in achieving the
best therapeutic results. The treatment is safe & effective especially in chronic pain cases. It can be
an alternative to pills & surgery.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON The World Health

Organization says the year-long Ebola outbreak in West Africa still qualies as an
international emergency even though the
number of cases has plummeted.
Last August, the U. N. health agency
declared the epidemic of the lethal virus to
be a global emergency after the deaths of
nearly 1,000 people, mostly in Guinea,
Sierra Leone and Liberia.
At the peak last year, hundreds of new
cases were being reported every week. In an
update this week, WHO reported there were
30 conrmed cases last week in Guinea and
Sierra Leone; the last case in Liberia died on
March 27.
Dr. Bruce Aylward, who is leading WHOs
Ebola response, said the decline appeared to
be real, rather than just a pothole on the
bumpy road to get to zero cases.
To date, Ebola is estimated to have infected more than 25,500 people and killed
10,587, mostly in West Africa.
During a press brieng in Geneva on
Friday, Aylward said WHOs Ebola emer-

gency committee believes the risk of the

virus spreading globally appears to be
dropping even though ofcials still dont
know where the virus is spreading in most
cases in Guinea and Sierra Leone.
We are still not controlling the epidemic, said Brice de le Vingne, director of
operations for Doctors Without Borders,
who noted past lulls in the outbreak have
often been followed by surges in cases. He
said the designation of Ebola as a global
emergency is also necessary to speed up
paperwork for the ongoing experimental
drug and vaccine trials in West Africa.
Other experts agreed its too early for
WHO to downgrade the status of the
biggest-ever Ebola outbreak and warned the
recent fall in cases may be deceptive.
It is just that we are used to (seeing) large
numbers of cases and deaths, said Oyewale
Tomori, a Nigerian virologist who sits on
WHOs Ebola emergency committee.
These numbers should still frighten us.
Tomori said that though cases have fallen
dramatically, it is too soon to relax. The
three countries had declared themselves
(Ebola-free) at one time, only to nd dead
bodies all over the place later, he wrote in
an email.

Specialty patient hotels on the rise in China

By Jack Chang
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIJING Li Xiaohe has set herself up for

the long haul in a cramped but sunny room in
western Beijing, about a block from Chinas
most renowned cancer hospital. Her laundry
dries on hangers and her husband cooks in a
communal kitchen as she embarks on an 84day program of chemotherapy, following the
removal of part of her right breast.
The youthful, soft-spoken 43-year-old, who
works as a neighborhood watch leader back
home in Henan province, is living in one of
the many so-called cancer hotels that dot the
neighborhood around the hospital, giving
patients an affordable, cozy place to wait for
appointments and undergo outpatient treatment.
With lung, bowel and breast cancer rates
surging in China, such hotels have sprouted up
in big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, part
of an ad hoc response to what medical experts
say is a growing health crisis challenging an
unprepared medical system.
The treatment back home is different from
here, so we came here, Li says in her bedroom,
which is filled almost completely by her mattress. At home, my insurance covers 85 percent of the cost. Itll be good if I can even get
half of it covered here. But Im doing this for
my health. Im looking for the right treatment.
These patients venture far for treatment
believing they cant find adequate care in hometowns, instead preferring to camp out near reputable, big-city hospitals to await their turn for
care. They do that even though government
health insurance often covers less of the cost of

care in Beijing and other big cities than it does
back home.
The hotels, which mostly operate informally, dont provide nursing but put patients closer to medical services and experts, and give
them a place to cook their own food and share
tips with fellow patients.
Despite their name, they are not traditional
hotels, but furnished units in apartment blocks
near medical facilities, charging as little as $7
a night per room. And while they occupy a
legal gray zone, doctors often refer patients to
them, and state-run media have published glowing articles about the need they are fulfilling.
They reflect a health emergency that has seen
the number of lung cancer diagnoses nationwide jump by 16 percent in two years, and the
lung cancer rate in Beijing soar by 60 percent
over a decade, according to Chinese government figures. Lung cancer mortality rates grew
from around 50 per 100,000 men in 2000 to
nearly 60 per 100,000 a dozen years later,
World Health Organization data show. Breast
cancer rates have also grown among women,
killing almost as many of them yearly as lung
cancer.
By comparison, male lung cancer mortality
rates in the United States have dropped from 55
per 100,000 people in 2000 to 40 in 2012, and
from almost 25 per 100,000 Brazilian men in
2000 to 20 in 2012, according to WHO.
Persistently high rates of smoking as well as

toxic air pollution help explain much of the

rise, said Angela Pratt, who leads WHOs work
in China on tobacco control and non-communicable diseases such as cancer and heart disease.
The rates of cancer, both the number of
cases and the rates at which people are dying of
cancer, are increasing in China, and thats
obviously a cause for very significant concern, Pratt said. Thats a huge increase in a
relatively short amount of time. I would say its
a critical situation.
Visible evidence of that surge fills the
Beijing Cancer Hospital, where hundreds of
patients, some still wheeling suitcases from
their long journeys, fill the corridors waiting
for hours to be called. The hospital declined a
request to speak to doctors or administrators
there. Chinas National Health and Family
Planning Commission also didnt respond to
an interview request.
Cui Xiaobo, a newly retired social medicine
professor at the Capital Medical University in
Beijing, said sweeping health reforms that are
still in the works would bring equal levels of
care to people in cities and rural areas alike. Cui
said rural doctors often arent adequately paid,
which requires that they squeeze in extra
patients or suggest unnecessary treatments to
bring in more revenue.
In his view, pollution couldnt yet be linked
to rising cancer rates; instead, he said, much of

the trend stemmed from higher life expectancy

in China with the result that more elderly were
being diagnosed with the disease.
With cancer, theres no single cause, Cui
said. If there were a single cause, then itd be
easy to cure.
Whats clear is the cancer surge in China is

communities hit by higher-than-average cancer rates due to polluting nearby industries. In
2013, Chinese were shocked to learn of an 8year-old girl billed as the countrys youngest
lung cancer patient, the result, her doctors said,
of eastern Chinas choking air pollution.
Pratt said air pollution was clearly playing a
role, as were smoking, unhealthy diets and
obesity.
Air pollution is now a recognized carcinogen, so theres no question that the hazardous
levels of air pollution were seeing in many
parts of China are contributing to the increasing rates in particular of lung cancer, Pratt
said.

INSURANCE
Continued from page 17
insurance for people who dont have access to
job-based coverage, combined with an expansion of Medicaid aimed at low-income adults
in states that accept it. Big states like Florida
and Texas are among those refusing to expand
Medicaid.
The law requires nearly all Americans to
have coverage, either through an employer, a
government program, or by purchasing their
own plan. Those remaining uninsured risk
fines. It also provides subsidies to help lowto moderate-income people buy their own
insurance.
Comparing the most recent sign-up period
with the first open enrollment season, the survey found that the uninsured rate declined at a
slightly slower pace this time around. In the
first three months of this year, the uninsured
rate fell by 1 percentage point. Over the same
period last year there was a 1.5 percentagepoint decline.
From government officials to local volunteers, many people involved with the health
care law expected some kind of second-year
slowdown. Open enrollment season was
shorter, and those who had remained uninsured
were seen as more skeptical about the value of
coverage.
The survey also found:
Hispanics saw the biggest coverage gains
of any ethnic or racial group. The uninsured
rate dropped 8.3 points among Latinos since
the end of 2013. Even so, Hispanics are still
more likely to be uninsured. At a time when
Republicans are very keenly trying to court
the Hispanic vote, a large chunk of Hispanics
are gaining insurance via the Affordable Care
Act, Witters said.
Recent gains in coverage have benefited
people up and down the income ladder. But the
most notable improvement has been among
those making less than $36,000 a year, a
group that traditionally struggled to get and
keep health insurance. Their uninsured rate
dropped 8.7 points since the end of 2013.
Although the economic recovery is likely
to be contributing to coverage gains, the
uninsured rate is now significantly lower than
it was in early 2008, before the recession.
That suggests that the gains in coverage are
due to more than an improving economy.
Five years after its passage, the biggest
question now for Obamas health care law is a
Supreme Court challenge.

Hezbollah leader blasts

Saudi strikes in Yemen
By Zeina Karam
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT A top leader of the Lebanese

militant Hezbollah group directed a barrage of
criticism at Saudi Arabia on Monday, accusing
the kingdom of committing genocide with its
airstrike campaign targeting Yemens Shiite rebels
and warning it will pay a
heavy price for its
involvement.
In a wide-ranging interview with The Associated
Press, the Shiite militant
groups deputy chief,
Sheikh Naim Kassem, said
Sheikh Naim Saudi Arabia made a
strategic mistake by
Kassem
interfering in Yemens
internal affairs.
More than two weeks of Saudi-led airstrikes

The placards help keep the public informed
and encourages restaurants to improve their
food safety practices, according to the
report.
Over the past six months, the Health
Systems Environmental Health Services
Division invited about 4,000 food facility
operators to 14 informational sessions to
discuss the changes to the food safety
inspections.
The placards will be required for restaurants, mobile food trucks, bakeries, schools,
licensed health care facilities and some convenience stores, according to a Health
System press release put out in October.
Supervisors Tuesday will vote whether to
amend an ordinance to replace the requirement for posting inspection reports with a

grab. The Saudi campaign has also turned
Yemen into a new proxy war between the
kingdom and Iran, which has backed the
Houthis, though Tehran denies aiding the
rebels militarily. Hezbollah is a close Iran
ally.
The strikingly tough criticism of the
regions top Sunni powerhouse underlines the
widening rift between Saudi Arabia and Shiiteled Iran, and is likely to further polarize the
Sunni-Shiite divide in a turbulent Middle East.
Saudi Arabia has embroiled itself (in
Yemen) and will incur very serious losses ...
that will increasingly reflect on its status, its
internal situation and its role in the region,
Kassem said.
What happened in Yemen is a crime that
cannot be ignored. ... Saudi Arabia is committing genocide in Yemen, we cannot be silent
about that, the Hezbollah No. 2 said, likening the Saudi-led airstrikes on Yemen to

requirement for posting a placard.
In downtown San Mateo Monday, only a
handful of restaurants displayed a sticker
indicating it was recently inspected and only
one restaurant, Charlies Taqueria on B
Street, actually displayed the full inspection
report in its window.
California Health and Safety Code authorizes but does not require the placement
of a placard denoting the results of a food
safety inspection in food facilities.
The placard system is seen as generally
satisfactory among Belmont chamber members although there are some concerns, said
Mary Morrissey Parden with the Belmont
Chamber of Commerce.
Customers might make snap decisions
without knowing the nature of the violation
based upon seeing the colored placard and
not understanding they could use their barcode reader on their mobile device to find
out the specific issues needing remediation, Parden wrote the Daily Journal in an

Russia lifts ban on delivery
of S-300 missiles to Iran
MOSCOW President Vladimir Putin on
Monday sanctioned the delivery of a highly
capable Russian air defense missile system
to Iran, a game changer move that would significantly bolster the Islamic republics military capability and fuel Israels concerns.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry objected to Moscows decision in a phone call to
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov,
and the White House indicated the move
could endanger plans to ultimately lift sanctions on Iran as part of a proposed nuclear
deal.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest
said unity and coordination with nations like
Russia is critical to the success of the negotiations. Washington has said Moscow
played a constructive role in the Iranian
nuclear talks, despite sharp differences
between Russia and the West over Ukraine.
Putins move was quickly welcomed by
Tehran, while it worried Israel, which saw it
as a sign that Iran already had begun to cash
in on the emerging nuclear deal with world
powers that is expected to be finalized by the
end of June.
the same rules also apply to mobile food
trucks.
Nearby counties such as Alameda, Marin and
Santa Clara have already adopted food placards.
Implementing a food placarding system in
San Mateo County that is similar to food placarding systems used in other Bay Area jurisdictions provides consistency for food operators
operating facilities in multiple counties, and
provides a consistent communication tool to
inform the public about food safety practices
in food facilities, Fraser and Forshey wrote in
the report.
Our residents should feel confident that
theyre not risking their health when they eat
out, and this program will allow people to
make an informed decision by knowing at a
glance which restaurants serve safely prepared
food, Supervisor Adrienne Tissier wrote in
the October press release.
The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors
meets 9 a.m., Tuesday, April 14, 400 County
Center, Redwood City. The food placard item is
expected to be heard after 1:30 p.m.

never happen again, because I dont want
another family to go through this. This is horrible, Serrano-Garcia said.
As part of the Justice for Yanira movement,
Serrano said his family is urging the board to
make Crisis Intervention Training mandatory
for all county law enforcement personnel, create a Civilian Oversight committee to monitor and review law enforcement practices,
recruit more culturally diverse officers and permanently reassign Trieu out of Half Moon
Bay.
Sheriffs Deputy Rebecca Rosenblatt said
Trieu no longer works in Half Moon Bay and
Sheriff Greg Munks has committed to training
as many personnel as possible.
Staffing requirements allowing, this is
something that were trying to get everybody
involved in. Not just our patrol, but even our
civilian staff and our correctional staff.

as Sean McGinn, slated to serve as the assistant superintendent of business services.
The board selected Olson earlier this month
to replace ousted Superintendent David Hutt,
who will be leaving the district at the end of
the school year. McGinn, who is currently
assistant superintendent in the Lemoore
Union High School District in Kings County,
would take the place of Terri Ryland, who
serves as the interim chief business official.
Board President Kevin Martinez said he is
hopeful transitioning away from Hutt will
help establish the communitys faith in management of district finances, which could aid
the passage of a parcel tax, should officials
decide to move forward with such a measure.
The concerns about the districts finances
are front and center to the community now,
and we want to ensure that there is growing
confidence that the communitys investment
in its schools would be valuable, he said.
The districts education foundation has also
boosted its fundraising efforts in recent
months, following the community outcry
regarding the districts negotiation with its

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Because theres elements of the training that

could prove helpful in all aspects of what we
do day to day. So thats something were
working towards making a reality anyway,
Rosenblatt said.
Crisis Intervention Training is a joint effort
of the Sheriffs Office, the countys Health
System and San Mateo Countys chapter of
the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
The 40-hour training offers first responders
such as police, paramedics, dispatchers and
hospital security guards the opportunity to
learn about various mental illnesses, how to
interact with someone whos been diagnosed,
treatment options and more.
This year, the county is expanding to offer
three trainings and creating a new psychiatric
emergency response team comprised of an
experienced deputy and licensed clinician.
Serrano-Garcia said more needs to be done
to ensure responders are equipped because statistics show nearly 50 percent of those killed
by law enforcement have a mental or physical
illness.
Its really important for them to get the
training and if they feel like theyre not up to

the job, maybe its time for San Mateo

County to revise this and create a different unit
to take these kinds of calls, Serrano-Garcia
said.
Jonathan Melrod, an attorney representing
the Serrano family in their lawsuit against the
county, said he fears the officer-involved
killings across the nation are setting a dangerous precedent among youth.
When we live in a society where teenagers
are scared to death when they see an officer
because they could be shot, certainly the
wrong message is getting sent, Melrod said.
Serrano-Garcia and Melrod said the fact that
Trieu was the first to respond to what was originally supposed to have been a medical call
made the shooting even more egregious and
upsetting.
Rosenblatt said she couldnt comment
specifically on the case as the matter is pending litigation, but added no amount of training can supersede certain conditions.
You can go into these situations with the
best intentions, but sometimes the circumstances dictate what you can and cant do. All
you can do is your best. We can provide our

staff with this information and these tools and

we hope these situations lend themselves to
using them, such is not always the case however, Rosenblatt said. I do think everyones
on the same page, that law enforcement and
the community want to get help for those that
need it.

teachers union.
Teachers are asking for their first raise in
nearly a decade but, during negotiations,
administrators responded by offering a pay cut
in an effort to close the districts nearly $2.1
million deficit.
At this weeks meeting, the board stands to
approve the final spending reductions necessary to close the current deficit, a majority of
which had been agreed upon last month when
officials approved $1.9 million in budget balancing measures.
Most of the budget balancing came through
issuing pink slips to 17 teachers, a contentious decision that preceded parents unifying in support of educators by pulling their
students out of class at Belle Air Elementary
School by staging a sick out.
The decision to keep kids from class drew
the ire of Hutt, who encouraged parents to
channel their enthusiasm for supporting district personnel to venues that did not require
students miss days at school.
The financial crisis has been a rallying
point for some, as many parents have
increased donations to a fund which will help
pay for education programs, said education
foundation President Scott Curtner.
In the past, he said the foundation raised
roughly $10,000 but that has nearly doubled

in recent years, and the amount of contributors has nearly tripled to 90 parents and residents.
Trustee Patrick Flynn has tried to capitalize
on the increased public enthusiasm, by issuing a challenge to raise $191,000, which
could be used to hire back teachers and reduce
class sizes.
At last count, Curtner said roughly $7,000
had been raised toward that goal.
He said the increased enthusiasm for community support is a positive response to the
unfortunate circumstances facing the district.
The district is only faced with terrible
choices. Its really awful for everyone, for the
teachers, for the staff and also for the parents
who care enough to pay attention, he said.
So if theres a silver lining to these challenges, its that more people are being
engaged and participating on a district level.
But Curtner was reluctant to say the newfound community enthusiasm could be translated into support for a potential tax measure.
Its hard to say, because it is so far down
the road, he said. But Im hopeful, Im optimistic.
Martinez echoed those sentiments.
We see the concern at every meeting, but it
still remains to be seen whether that message
would be positive enough to support that fur-

ther investment by the community, he said.

There are a group of parents who have
joined together to investigate the challenges
associated with getting a parcel tax passed.
Voters shot down a $199 parcel tax proposal in the 2012 fall election.
Martinez said the districts decision to
move forward with a tax measure would likely
hinge on the findings of the firm hired to
investigate feasibility, but added officials
might target elections next summer or fall as
potential opportunities to float the proposal.
Whether the increased community support
eventually leads to a parcel tax being passed,
Curtner said he is hopeful the education foundation will continue to thrive as it has recently.
With increased participation, Im optimistic that the foundation will evolve to be a
bigger, better, stronger and more useful partner to the community, he said.

Becoming a member not only enables people to refine their

first responders and members of the public who rely on them for
assistance, Van Etten said.
The partnerships you form in a special interest group like
this and the Lions Club will last forever, Van Etten said. I think
this is a great opportunity to be able to enhance those professions and give back to the community with a wider distribution

Serrano-Garcia said its been a struggle to

continue without his sister, but has been comforted by the more than 1,000 people who
have signed on to urge the Board of
Supervisors to improve the countys practices.
I think that people with mental disabilities, they have enough to deal with already
with the mental disease. They have enough
with the side effects and with the daily life
they go through, they shouldnt have to have
put up with other obstacles, Serrano-Garcia
said. And I think its really important not
only for San Mateo County, but for families
who have loved ones with mental disabilities.
Its been really nice to know that people are
still out there advocating for these issues.
