School calendar causes some concern

Petitioning parents claim San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School District schedule inconvenient for families
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Parents of students in the San

Mateo-Foster City Elementary
School District claimed officials
have ignored their concerns
regarding the development of a
class calendar which they feel is
burdensome for working class
families.
The districts Board of Trustees

will consider approving a class
schedule for the 2016-17 school
year during a meeting Thursday,
Feb. 18.
The design of the calendar is the
product of collective bargaining
between the school board and the
districts teachers union, which
has served as a source of frustration for some parents.
San Mateo resident James Stray,

who has three children enrolled in
the district, said he believes the
two sides have not adequately considered how the class calendar
could adversely affect district families.
They are not asking our opinion, and Im just shocked by that,
he said. That is not trying to be
responsive to their constituents.
The
calendars
proposed
changes include: starting school a
week later than the current school
year, extending Christmas break
by one week, but shortening fall
and spring breaks by one week.
The final day of class in mid June
would be maintained, under the
proposed calendar.
The current school calendar
offers two-week breaks in the mid-
dle of October, late December and

the last week of March spanning
into April.
In the past, community members have been gauged by district
officials regarding design of the
calendar, including extensive public outreach campaigns which featured town hall meetings allowing
parents to express their opinion

San Mateos aging Avalon Motel will be redeveloped into 42 townhomes
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The aging Avalon Motel in San

Mateo will be torn down and
replaced with a townhome project,
the City Council decided Tuesday
night.
Built in the 1930s, the motor
court motel east of Highway 101
in the North Shoreview neighborhood has, in recent years, become
residences for low-income families.
City Ventures plans to redevelop
the nearly 2-acre site into 42 forsale townhomes each fitted with

MASSAPEQUA PARK, N.Y. A suburban New York family is seeking snow

donations to help its 14-foot snowman
last until spring and some cold
weather would help, too.
Newsday reports that members of the
Fregoe family of Massapequa Park
wrapped their indomitable snowman
tightly in plastic before heavy rain hit
Monday. Then 51-year-old Mike Fregoe
climbed a ladder and planted a beach
umbrella on its head.
Fregoe says the snowman survived
the rain but is looking a little thinner.
The Fregoes crowdsourced their snowman last year by soliciting contributions of snow through Facebook.
Fregoe says donated snow helped keep
the snowman standing until April 20.
The family plans to rely on snow
donations this year as well. Fregoe says
so many people enjoy the snowman

theres no pig in the act just a man on

tied to his tail.
Steve Smith, an organizer of the
100th Newport Winter Carnival, said
People for the Ethical Treatment of
Animals, or PETA, launched its alert last
week despite his reassurances that no
pigs would be harmed during the
Saturday event. Smith said he received
about 100 emails from concerned animal lovers.
PETA
spokeswoman
Daphna
Nachminovitch said Smith did not clarify what the event would entail. She said
the updated information is excellent
news for the pigs.
Smith said Thursday that he assured a
PETA investigator in a Feb. 5 email that
no animals would be harmed during the
event. The group never challenged or
questioned him about it before writing a
detailed email alert, he said. It talked
about subjecting these highly sensitive animals to such a chaotic and violent ordeal rife with screaming participants. It also mentioned capturing the
pigs and stuffing them into barrels.
How can they know what were doing
if they never even bothered to ask what
were doing? Smith said. If they just
asked, What are your plans? I would
have told them.
Smith, also general manager of
WCNL radio in Newport, said the carnival featured greased pig events in the
1930s and continued off and on until the
1980s.

Police seek man who ran from canyon fire

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Belmont police are seeking a person of

interest who was seen running from a fire in
the Belmont hills last Saturday.
At approximately 4:30 p.m. Saturday,
Feb. 13, Belmont fire and police units
responded to a report of smoke in the
canyon area between Village and Hastings
drives. Due to the nature of the call, fire
units from San Mateo and Foster City also
responded. Firefighters found a small fire,
approximately 100 square feet in size, in a
clearing 200 yards west of Village Drive
and extinguished it. A lighter and other
items were found at the scene, according to
police.
Witnesses told investigators that they
saw the smoke and found a male subject
Suspect
standing watching the fire. When the witnesses yelled to the man, he ran west up the
hill toward Hastings Drive. That same man

was later seen coming out of the canyon in
the 2400 block of Hastings Drive and running west on Hastings Drive, toward San
Carlos. A resident on Hastings Drive was
able to take a photo of the man as he ran
from the scene, according to police.
Belmont police are looking to identify
the man as a person of interest in this fire.
He is described as white, in his 30s or 40s,
muscular build, light brown collar-length
hair, sunglasses, wearing a short sleeve
white T-shirt, baggy khaki pants, a gray
sweater tied around his waist and
black/white running shoes.
Anyone with information on this fire, or
the identity of the man who ran from the
scene, are asked to contact Belmont police
at (650) 595-7400.
Crab season remains closed despite potential for partial open

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Commercial crab fisheries will remain

closed until state officials lift the health
advisory for Dungeness crab along the
entire California coast, California
Department of Fish and Wildlife officials
said Wednesday.
CDFW officials may open crab fisheries
south of the border between Mendocino and
Sonoma counties once the state Department
of Public Health clears all of the crabs along
that stretch of the coast for human consumption.
The determination followed the strong
recommendation by members of the
Dungeness Crab Task Force, who urged state
officials on Tuesday to keep the season
closed until the health advisory was lifted
coastwide, or at a minimum, for an area
south of Point Arena.
The commercial crab season has been
stalled since public health officials deter-
mined the crabs had high levels of domoic

acid, a neurotoxin. But on Thursday, the
CDFW said it would allow recreational crab
fishing south of Point Reyes after health
officials cleared the crabs for human consumption.
The closure of the commercial crab fisheries has been hard on fishing boat operators and other industry workers, causing an
estimated $48 million in losses across the
industry already this season, according to
state officials.
Despite the heavy losses, fishing boat
operators and other industry workers said it
would be more harmful if only a small portion of the coast is opened. That's because
all of the state's fishing boat operators
would crowd into a small area, making the
catches less profitable, and potentially
causing other problems, including the possibility of whales becoming entangled in
crab traps crowding the waters.
Fishing boat operators were also con-
cerned that Point Reyes is too close to

Bodega Bay, where the crabs have exhibited
levels of domoic acid above the state's
threshold for human consumption. Crabs
are known to travel, and fishing boat operators said there was not enough of a buffer to
ensure that the crabs don't sicken anyone.
Still, fishing boat operators along the
southern parts of the coast urged state officials to open fisheries where public health
officials have determined the crabs are safe
to eat.
CDFW Director Charlton Bonham said in
a statement that the decision to keep the
commercial crab season closed was not
made lightly.

A U.S. magistrate judge has ordered Apple to help the FBI break into a work-issued iPhone used
by a gunman in the mass shooting in San Bernardino. Apple CEO Tim Cook immediately
objected, setting the stage for a high-stakes legal fight between Silicon Valley and the federal
government.
Fight over gunmans locked

iPhone may have big impact
By Eric Tucker and Tami Abdollah
WASHINGTON An extraordinary legal

fight is brewing with major privacy implications for millions of cellphone users after a
federal magistrate ordered Apple Inc. to help
the FBI hack into an iPhone used by the gunman in the San Bernardino mass shootings.
The clash brings to a head a long-simmering debate between technology companies
insistent on protecting digital privacy and
law enforcement agencies concerned about
losing their ability to recover evidence or
eavesdrop on the communications of terrorists or criminals.
On Wednesday, the White House quickly
disputed the contention by Apples chief
executive officer, Tim Cook, that the Obama
administration is seeking to force the software company to build a backdoor to
bypass digital locks protecting consumer
information on Apples popular iPhones.
The early arguments set the stage for what
will likely be a protracted policy and public
relations fight in the courts, on Capitol Hill,
on the Internet and elsewhere.
They are not asking Apple to redesign its
product or to create a new backdoor to one of
their products, White House spokesman
Josh Earnest said. Theyre simply asking for
something that would have an impact on this
one device.
Within hours of the judges order on
Tuesday telling Apple to aid the FBI with special software in the case, Cook promised a
court challenge. He said the software the FBI
would need to unlock the gunmans workissued iPhone 5C would be too dangerous to
create and undeniably a backdoor.
Cook compared it to a master key, capable
of opening hundreds of millions of locks, and
said there was no way to keep the technique

from having to purchase ood insurance.
SAN FRANCISCO Buyers snapped up

more than 27,500 houses and condos in
California last month, making it the most
active January in three years even as sales
remained below the historic average.
Research firm CoreLogic Inc. also reported Wednesday that the median price hit
$400,000, the highest for the month since
2007 although lower than the December
2015 median of $412,500.
Its normal for the median price and sales
figures to go down from December. Home
closings traditionally drop off in January,
as people dont like to shop or sell over the
holidays.
Still, January sales were below the average of 33,114 homes purchased during the
month since CoreLogic started tracking
sales in 1988. Nearly 40,500 homes closed
escrow in December.
The sluggish activity could be due to lack
of inventory and moderately tight credit
restrictions, CoreLogic research analyst

Andrew LePage said.
Prices, however, continued to climb year
over year.
The median price for a California home
increased more than 8 percent from
$369,000 in January 2015. It was the highest for the month since 2007, when the
price was $460,000.
About 4,800 homes closed escrow in the
nine-county San Francisco Bay Area, up 7
percent from the previous January but down
38 percent from December.
The median price in the region increased
15 percent to $625,500 from last January.
San Francisco County continues to be a
hot market. In the San Francisco Bay Area,
it posted the greatest increase in median
sales price, surging 32 percent to nearly
$1.17 million.
Alameda County posted a 21 percent
increase in the median price, bumping up to
$635,250 from the previous January.
In Southern California, more than 14,600
homes were sold last month.
secret once it was developed.

Once the information is known, or a way
to bypass the code is revealed, the encryption
can be defeated by anyone with that knowledge, Cook said.
At the center of the debate is the private
information carried on nearly 900 million
iPhones sold worldwide: Photographs,
videos, chat messages, health records and
more.
There also was swift reaction on the presidential campaign trail, where Donald Trump
told Fox News that he agreed 100 percent
with the courts, and on Capitol Hill, where
the chairman of the Senate Intelligence
Committee, Richard Burr, R-N.C., said,
Court orders are not optional and Apple
should comply.
Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of
California, who fought encryption in the
1990s, said she thought the government
should be able to access the phone. On
Twitter, Edward Snowden called it the most
important tech case in a decade.
But Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich., called the
Justice Departments request unconscionable
and unconstitutional.
The ruling by U.S. Magistrate Judge Sheri
Pym represents a significant victory for the
Justice Department, which last year decided
not to pursue a legislative fix to address
encryption but has now scored a win instead
in the courts.
Federal officials until now have struggled to
identify a high-profile case to make its concerns resonate. But in siding with the government, Pym, a former federal prosecutor, was
persuaded that agents investigating the worst
terror attack on U.S. soil since Sept. 11 had
been hobbled by their inability to unlock the
county-owned phone used by Syed Farook,
who along with his wife, Tashfeen Malik,
killed 14 people in December before dying in
a police shootout.

Republican feud escalates;

S.C. Gov. Haley backs Rubio
By Scott Bauer and Steve Peoples
CHAPIN, S.C. A three-way feud among

the GOPs leading White House contenders
escalated Wednesday, with Republican Ted
Cruz daring Donald Trump to sue him and dismissing Marco Rubios charges of dishonesty just days before South Carolinas highstakes primary.
Yet it was Rubio who may have scored the
days biggest win as he secured the coveted
endorsement of South Carolina Gov. Nikki
Haley. The popular governor said she was
tasked with identifying the best candidate as
she surveyed the crowded GOP field.
If we elect Marco Rubio, every day will be
a great day in America, she said alongside the
Florida senator during an evening rally in
suburban Columbia.
While a major development, Haleys
endorsement did little to quiet the intensifying clash between Cruz, Trump and Rubio
over alleged ethical violations in the days
leading up to Saturdays South Carolina contest.
Cruz, the Texas senator, has been trying to
beat back charges of dishonesty from Trump
and Rubio for weeks. He shifted his defense to
the next level during an afternoon news conference that highlighted Cruzs extensive
legal training.
You have been threatening frivolous lawsuits for your entire adult life, said Cruz, a
Harvard Law School graduate, speaking
directly to Trump. Even in the annals of frivolous lawsuits, this takes the cake.
Trump threatened earlier

in the week to bring a
defamation
lawsuit
against Cruz over a television ad that attacks the
Republican front-runners
conservative bona fides.
Specifically, the ad features footage of the billionaire businessman in a
Ted Cruz
1999 interview supporting abortion rights.
Trump now says he
opposes abortion.
Trumps attorney sent
Cruz a letter Tuesday
charging the ad was
replete with outright
lies, false, defamatory and
destructive statements
saying Cruz could be
Donald Trump and
held liable for damages if
its not taken down.
Cruz on Wednesday said
a lawsuit against the ad
has no chance, and said he
would like to take Trumps
deposition himself. He
also announced plans to
run the contested ad more
frequently.
Please Donald, file
Marco Rubio this
lawsuit, Cruz said
during a CNN presidential forum Wednesday
night.
The prospective legal battle marks another
extraordinary step in the turbulent 2016
Republican primary season.

Nevada race tightens

A big test for Hillary Clintons campaign
By Lisa Lerer and Michelle Rindels
LAS VEGAS Nevada was supposed to be

one of Hillary Clintons safest bets.
She already had staff on the ground last
spring, weeks before officially announcing
her presidential bid. One of her earliest campaign stops was an emotional meeting with
immigrant students at a Las Vegas high
school. And as recently as last month, her
campaign manager was telling supporters
she had a 25-point lead in the state.
But in the final days before Saturdays caucuses, Clintons chances of a big victory
look far more like a political crapshoot.
Rival Bernie Sanders, who didnt set up
shop in Nevada until months after Clintons
staffers were there, is barnstorming the
state, drawing thousands to rallies where
theyre cheering his promises to fight
income equality and crack down on big
banks. Its a compelling message in a state
thats still struggling to rebound after years
of double-digit unemployment.
It is clear to me when mom is out working, dad is out working and the kids are out
working, wages in America are too damn
low, Sanders told 1,700 supporters packed
into a Las Vegas high school gymnasium on
Sunday. It is not a radical socialist idea to
say that when someone is working 40 hours
a week that person should not be living in
poverty.
His team is trying to turn the contest into
a test of one of Clintons major arguments:
That her ability to woo

the diverse voters who
make up the Democratic
party and the country
leaves her the most
electable candidate for a
general election. Nevada
is likely to be a general
election battleground,
Bernie Sanders giving it continued
importance.
A victory on Saturday or even a narrow
loss to Clinton would give Sanders campaign a boost heading into the more racially diverse contests of South Carolina and
the Southern states that vote just days later
on Super Tuesday.
If Bernie logs a win in Nevada it becomes
a different conversation about his creditability as a nominee and Hillarys credibility as a campaigner, said Andres Ramirez, a
veteran Democratic operative in the state
whos backing Clinton. We change the
conversation dramatically.
Clintons team tried to attribute Sanders
early win in New Hampshire and razor-thin
loss in Iowa to his strength with white liberals. Now, they find themselves also downplaying expectations in Nevada, a state where
minorities make up nearly half of the population. Eight years ago, one-third of Democratic
caucus-goers were minority voters.
Eight years ago, Clinton won the popular
vote here but lost the delegate count. Her
current national campaign manager Robby
Mook ran that primary race for her.

Cracks emerge in GOP refusal

to consider Supreme Court pick
By Josh Lederman and Alan Fram
WASHINGTON Concerted Republican

opposition to considering President Barack
Obamas pick for the Supreme Court showed
early signs of splintering on Wednesday as
a handful of influential senators opened the
door to a possible confirmation hearing.
One Republican even suggested the president should nominate a candidate from his
state.
Texas Sen. John Cornyn, the No. 2
Republican in the Senate, did not rule out a
committee hearing on Obamas forthcoming nominee to replace the late Justice
Antonin Scalia. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, RAlaska, went a step further and said shed
support such a move.
I do believe that the nominee should get
a hearing, Murkowski, whos running for
re-election this fall, told reporters in
Juneau, Alaska. The question then
becomes, we have a hearing on a nominee.
But that doesnt necessarily mean that that
ends up in a vote.
Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., said chances of
Senate approval were slim but added that
Obama should use this opportunity to put
the will of the people ahead of advancing a
liberal agenda on the high court.
But should he decide to nominate someone to the Supreme Court, who knows
maybe itll be a Nevadan, Heller said.
Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, who sits on the
Senate Judiciary Committee, said he opposes a filibuster to prevent a vote, as some
Republicans have suggested. Judiciary
Chairman Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, has
said hed wait to see who Obama selects
before ruling out a hearing in his committee.
Those senators formed a cautious but
growing chorus of voices breaking with the
absolutist position of Senate Majority
Leader Mitch McConnell, who has told the
White House not to even bother nominating
a candidate. The Kentucky Republican and
several Republicans up for re-election have
maintained that voters in Novembers presidential election should have a say in the
direction of the nations highest court.
Cornyn, McConnells deputy, agreed that
it should be left to the next president to pick
Scalias successor. Still, Cornyn said it was
up to Grassley to decide whether to schedule
a hearing, and to McConnell to decide on a
full Senate vote if the Judiciary Committee

were to vote on the nominee.
Its entirely up to the Senate whether to
confirm that nomination, and I think we
should not, Cornyn said on radio station
KSKYs The Mark Davis Show.
McConnell has shown no signs of softening his opposition to confirming an Obama
nominee, which could put vulnerable
Republicans in a precarious position as his
party works to keep control of the Senate in
the November elections. But Senate
Democratic leader Harry Reid predicted
Republicans would cave in and said he
hoped Obama would announce a selection
in the next 10 days or so.
Reid said he believes McConnell has
made a terrible mistake by saying that he is
going to ignore the president. He added:
The American people are going to make
them pay if they jerk the president around
on this.
Wrangling over replacing Scalia came as
preparations were ramping up to honor the
conservative firebrands life and legacy on
the court. The president and first lady
Michelle Obama planned to pay their
respects Friday when Scalia lies in repose at
the Supreme Court, and Vice President Joe
Biden was to attend Scalias funeral on
Saturday.
Vowing to exercise his responsibility to
pick Scalias successor, Obama has sought
to turn GOP resistance into a case study in
Washington dysfunction.
The American people expect the Senate
is going to show up and do their job even
though they have a big election around the
corner, said White House spokesman Josh
Earnest.
Heller said people from Nevada should
have a voice in the process. Among the
names of potential candidates circulating in
Washington corridors is Nevada Gov. Brian
Sandoval a Republican who supports
abortion rights although it would be
unusual for Obama to nominate a candidate
from the opposite party.
The pace of judicial confirmations always
slows in presidential election years, thanks
to reluctance by the party out of power in
the White House to give lifetime tenure to
their opponents picks. In the past, lawmakers have sometimes informally agreed
to halt hearings on lower court nominations
during campaign season. But Obama has
argued that the Supreme Courts different.

2015 saw largest increase

in traffic deaths in 50 years
By Joan Lowy
WASHINGTON The number of traffic

deaths in the United States rose 8 percent
from 2014 to 2015, the largest year-to-year
percentage increase in a half-century,
according to preliminary estimates
Wednesday by the National Safety Council.
About 38,300 people were killed on U.S.
roads, and 4.4 million people were seriously injured, the council said. That would make
2015 the deadliest driving year since 2008.
The council said a stronger economy and
lower unemployment rates were probably
among the key factors, along with lower gas
prices. With driving more affordable, more
people are on the road. Average gas prices
were 28 percent lower last year than in 2014
and are projected to continue dropping this
year.
The Transportation Department estimates
a 3.5 percent increase in the number of
miles driven by motorists in the United
States in 2015.
The councils estimates correspond with

one from the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration, which also found an
8 percent increase in fatalities for the first
half of 2015.
Among the biggest increases last year
were in Oregon (27 percent), Georgia (22
percent), Florida (18 percent) and South
Carolina (16 percent). Only 13 states
showed improvement, including New
Mexico (a 20 percent drop), Kansas (down 7
percent) and New Jersey (lower by 2 percent).
The estimated cost of motor-vehicle
deaths, injuries and property damage in
2015 was $412.1 billion, according to the
council, a nonprofit organization created by

SPLC: Uptick in hate, extremist groups in 15 open hearts to migrants
By Phillip Lucas
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. The number of

hate groups and anti-government organizations in the United States jumped sharply in
2015 as political speech became more divisive, violent encounters between police
and black men were increasingly publicized, and attacks in Paris and California
spurred widespread fears of terrorism, a
civil rights advocacy group said
Wednesday.
In its annual Year In Hate and Extremism
report, the Southern Poverty Law Center
said the number of U. S. hate groups
increased to 892 last year, up from 784 in

2014. SPLC officials said the number of
anti-government groups increased from
874 in 2014 to 998 in 2015.
The nonprofit also noted an uptick in
anti-Muslim behavior, which it linked to
terrorist attacks in Paris and California, and
talking points from Republican presidential candidates. Some candidates have suggested that Muslim Syrian war refugees be
blocked from entering the country to ensure
that Muslim extremists dont get in.
The group also noted that the number of
black separatist groups, which it categorizes as hate groups, has risen from 113 in
2014 to 180 in 2015.
TVA considering sale of unfinished nuclear plant

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. The Tennessee

Valley Authority said Wednesday that it is
considering whether to sell its unfinished
Bellefonte Nuclear Plant, started in 1974 in
northeast Alabama and mothballed for the
past 28 years without ever producing any
electricity.
The federal utility announced it is taking
public comments on whether to sell the
1,600-acre site on the Tennessee River near
Hollywood, a town of about 1,000 people
located 120 miles northeast of Birmingham.

No potential price was mentioned, but TVA
said it has spent about $5 billion at
Bellefonte.
A purchaser would get two unfinished
light-water nuclear reactors dating to the
1970s, transmission equipment, a helicopter landing pad, railroad lines, multiple
buildings and parking lots.
Bellefonte could still be used for a nuclear
power plant, the utility said, but it could also
be used for industrial, commercial or residential developments.

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico In a

moment filled with powerful political symbolism, Pope Francis prayed Wednesday at
Mexicos dusty northern border for the thousands of migrants who have died trying to

deserts and inhospitable zones, he said.
They are our brothers and sisters, who are

drug trafficking and organized crime.
Francis also praised the work of activists
who are on the front lines, often risking
their own lives to help those caught up in

Ankara explosion
kills at least 28,
wounds 61 others
By Suzan Fraser
ANKARA, Turkey A car bomb

went off in the Turkish capital
Wednesday near vehicles carrying
military personnel, killing at
least 28 people and wounding 61
others, officials said.
The explosion occurred during
evening rush hour in the heart of
Ankara, in an area close to parliament and armed forces headquarters and lodgings. Buses carrying
military personnel were targeted
while waiting at traffic lights at an
intersection, the Turkish military
said while condemning the contemptible and dastardly attack.
We believe that those who lost
their lives included our military
brothers as well as civilians,
Deputy Prime Minister Numan
Kurtulmus said.
At least two military vehicles
caught fire and dozens of ambulances were sent to the scene. Dark
smoke could be seen billowing
from a distance.
There was no immediate claim of
responsibility, but Kurtulmus
pledged that authorities would find
those behind the bombing. He
said the government had appointed seven prosecutors to investigate the attack, which he described
as being well-planned.
Kurdish rebels, the Islamic State
group and a leftist extremist group
have carried out attacks in the
country recently. In October, suicide bombings blamed on IS targeted a peace rally outside the
main train station in Ankara,
killing 102 people in Turkeys
deadliest attack in years.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan condemned the bombing
saying it exceeds all moral and
humane boundaries.
Turkey is determined to fight
those who carried out the attack as
well as the forces behind the
assailants, he said.
Our determination to retaliate
to attacks that aim against our
unity and future grows stronger
with every action, Erdogan said.
It must be known that Turkey will
not refrain from using its right to
self-defense at all times.
Wednesdays attack comes at a
tense time when the Turkish government is facing an array of challenges. A fragile peace process
with Kurdish rebels collapsed in
the summer and renewed fighting
has displaced tens of thousands of
civilians.

NATO Secretary General Jens

there can be no justification for
such horrific acts and that NATO
Allies stand shoulder to shoulder
in the fight against terrorism.

Wednesday evening and attended a

Microsoft and Facebook.
The gains capped a three-day rally,
the longest so far in 2016, that has

Minutes show Fed worried by global turmoil

By Martin Crutsinger
WASHINGTON Federal Reserve policymakers expressed growing concerns at their

meeting last month about potential threats
to the U.S. economy, including turbulence
in financial markets, plunging oil prices
and slowing growth in China and other
emerging markets.
Minutes of their discussions released
Wednesday showed Fed officials acknowledging that the developments made it difficult to forecast growth and inflation.
The officials said their outlook had grown
more uncertain, and they stressed that the
pace of any interest-rate increases would
hinge on the latest economic data. The Fed
raised rates from record lows in December,
the first hike in nearly a decade.
While Fed officials continued to express
confidence in the strengthening labor market, they were less bullish on other parts of
the economy such as manufacturing.
Most participants indicated that it was
difficult to judge at this point whether the
o ut l o o k fo r i n fl at i o n an d eco n o mi c
growth had changed materially, but they
thought that uncertainty surrounding the
outlook had increased as a result of recent
financial and economic developments,
the minutes said.

Its brief policy statement removed language it
had been using that officials judged the risks facing the economy as balanced. Most Fed officials felt there was not
yet enough evidence to
Janet Yellen say the balance of risks
had changed materially, though some officials did believe the
downside risks had increased, according to
the minutes.
Among the threats to U.S. growth, the
minutes cited the slowdown in China and
falling commodity prices that could hurt
growth prospects in emerging market
nations that produce those commodities.
The Fed officials also discussed the steep
declines in stock prices that had occurred
since the beginning of the year.
Since the Feds January meeting, some
economic indicators have flashed more
encouraging signals. The economy created
151,000 jobs in January, pushing the unemployment rate down to an eight-year low of
4.9 percent. The Fed reported Wednesday
that industrial production rose 0.5 percent
in January, the best showing since July,
though retail sales last month remained
modest.
In December, the Fed had lifted its target

for overnight bank lending from a record
low to a new range of 0.25 percent to 0.5
percent the first hike after seven years of
near-zero rates. It also released projections
that indicated four additional quarter-point
moves in 2016.
But since the start of this year, global
financial markets have been rocked by disclosures that China, the worlds second
largest economy, may be slowing more than
previously believed. Oil prices have tumbled, while the U.S. dollar has strengthened. Both of those developments could
make it harder for the Fed to achieve its
inflation target.
Many private economists have cut their
forecasts for Fed rate hikes this year from
four down to two or fewer.
Fed Chair Janet Yellen acknowledged the
darker
economic
landscape
in
Congressional testimony last week. But she
said it was too soon to know whether the
new risks would be severe enough to alter
interest rate policies.
Yellen said the Fed was not on a pre-set
course for rate hikes and would assess at its
next meeting on March 15-16 whether
recent developments have slowed the U.S.
economy or threatened to derail the Feds
goal of pushing inflation back toward 2 percent.
Critics: Consumers to lose in private talks on auto braking

By Joan Lowy
WASHINGTON Federal regulators and

the auto industry are taking a more lenient
approach than safety advocates like when it
comes to phasing in automatic braking
systems for passenger cars, according to
records of their private negotiations.
The technology automatically applies
brakes to prevent or mitigate collisions,
rather than waiting for the driver to act. Its
the most important safety technology
available today thats not already required
in cars.
Such systems should be standard in all
new cars, says the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration. But instead of mandating it, the government is trying to work
out a voluntary agreement with automakers
in hopes of getting it in cars more quickly.
But safety advocates say voluntary agreements arent enforceable and are likely to
contain weaker standards and longer timelines than if the government had issued
rules.
Consumers are going to come up the losers in this process, said Clarence Ditlow,
executive director of the Center for Auto
Safety.
Meeting minutes obtained by the
Associated Press of four of the meetings
that NHTSA has held with automakers since
October show the government is considering significant concessions.
Records of a meeting on Nov. 12 show
that automatic braking systems would be
allowed that slow vehicles by as little as 5
mph before a collision. Manufacturers
would be allowed to exempt 5 percent of
their vehicles from the standard. Some
automakers had said it would take longer to
ready manual transmission vehicles for the
technology. The discussion included an
additional exemption for models that manufacturers intend to phase out or redesign.
The minutes from the fourth session, on

Dec. 9, indicate that some automakers say
they wont be ready to include the technology in 95 percent of their vehicles until
model year that begins in September 2025.
NHTSA and the Insurance Institute for
Highway Safety objected, saying such a
long timeline was too late for this effort to
be seen as a serious effort. Automakers are
now being polled to see if they can equip 95
percent of their vehicles by the model year
beginning in September 2022.
The agency is required by law to provide
meeting minutes of such negotiations and
to make them public. NHTSA provided
minutes of three of the meetings to the AP;
the fourth was obtained from safety advocates.
This is what happens when you start
negotiating with the auto industry, said
Joan Claybrook, a safety advocate and
NHTSAs administrator during the Carter
administration.

Sharks sink Scots in PAL opener

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Lady Sharks claimed their first victim in

the Peninsula Athletic League girls basketball
tournament.
Oceana prevailed in a wild turnover fest with a
45-44 victory over Carlmont in Wednesdays
PAL tourney opener. While the Sharks committed 12 turnovers, they came out on the better end
as the Scots had over 20.
The Sharks set the tempo with their hyperaggressive defense pressing throughout. But
the Scots found creative outlets with just
enough shooting to stay in the game, without

ever really finding the comfort zone.
We try to play 94 feet of defense to take them
out of doing what they wanted to do, Oceana
head coach David Clark said.
Never leading by more than five points,
Oceana was on top nearly the entire way, except
for a few brief minutes near the start of the second half when 5-11 freshman Ashley Trierweiler
sank a pair of free throws to give Carlmont a 1918 lead.
Otherwise, the Sharks had the leverage on
their side. After leading from wire to wire in the
first half, they jumped back up with 4:26
remaining in the third quarter on short jumper

by junior forward Kyana Wiley.
Wiley and sophomore guard Ariana Margate
finished with nine each, while junior Sala Langi
totaled a game-high 13. Langi was on fire early,
scoring 11 points in the first half. But it could
have easily been 20 points, or even more, as
she had plenty of close-range shots rattle out
from hurrying shots to evade Carlmonts height
advantage.
I think I could have done better but I was
scared they were going to bump into me, so I

M-A controls destiny

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Menlo-Atherton striker Jean Claverie said

everyone knew what was at stake when the Bears
traveled to Aragon for a crucial Peninsula
Athletic League Bay Division showdown.
Both teams came into the match tied for first
atop the Bay Division standings and the winner
would have a huge edge in winning the title with
only one game left to play in the regular season.
Everybody knew (what was at stake),
Claverie said. You dont even need to say anything.
M-A certainly played like a team vying for a
league crown. The Bears came out hungry and
aggressive and it added up to a dominating 3-0
victory.
Today, [M-A was] extremely aggressive,
said Aragon coach Greg Markoulakis. They
came in with a mentality to put it away early.
Maybe not as early as the Bears would have
liked but, whatever the final score, M-A (9-2-2
PAL Bay) simply wanted it more than Aragon (83-2). The Bears pressured the Dons at every turn,
making it difficult for the home side to play the
possession brand of soccer with which it likes
to play.
We were too direct, Markoulakis said. We
did not bring the intensity that was needed.
The Dons were in chase mode much of the
game and the Bears constant, withering pressure resulted in a pair of M-A corner kicks in the
opening five minutes. Aragon came close to
getting on the scoreboard first when Anthony
Sandovals free kick from midfield bounced over
the goal.
After that, M-A took control of the game.
Midfielder Ethan Oro was making his presence
felt with a couple of steals in the Dons end that
resulted in shots that were wide, but the tenor of
the game suggested it was not if but when
the Bears would score.
That when came in the 25th minute off the
foot of Claverie, taking advantage of a poor
Aragon goal kick.
I just pressured the defender and they passed it
back, Claverie said. It was a bad touch by
them.

n a testament to how far girls
wrestling has come, for the rst
time in six years, the Central Coast
Section girls championships will be
held on the same day as the boys:
Saturday, at Independence High School in
San Jose.
Duane Morgan, CCS commissioner and
head of the sections wrestling department,
said some of the decision to have the tournaments on separate days was because of
the calendar. Part of
the calendar issue
was the fact that the
California
Interscholastic
Federation, the
states ruling prep
sports body, scheduled the girls state
championships for
the same day as the
CCS boys championships. That meant
the girls CCS tournament, the qualifying event for the state
tournament, had to be held before the end of
the regular season.
Now, the girls state tournament has been
moved to be in line with the boys so the
girls will get the same treatment and
accolades on the same stage as the boys.
The other part of the equation, Morgan
said, is the explosive growth of female
wrestlers. When CCS rst started hosting a
girls section tournament seven years ago,
there were far fewer participants. Now,
those numbers have increased ve-fold.
The girls (numbers) were really small
then. It was maybe 60 girls, Morgan said.
Now, its about 300 girls.
Some of the best female grapplers you
will nd in the section come out of the

Panthers do the dirty work in win over Rams

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A week ago in a 68-41 loss to Menlo-Atherton, the

Burlingame boys basketball team was done in by poor
shooting.
Wednesday, facing Westmoor in the first round of the
Peninsula Athletic League tournament, the Panthers again
had a tough shooting night.
Unlike last week, however, that did not stop the Panthers
from doing the dirty work that can often make up for cold
shooting
nights.
While Burlingame shot just 36 percent from the field on 26
of 73 shooting, the Panthers more than made up for it in the
rebounding department. The Panthers destroyed the Rams
on the boards on their way to a 69-43 win.
We have to shoot (better), said Burlingame coach Pete
Harames. If they dont, we have to beat teams on the
boards.
With the win, the Burlingame, the No. 2 seed in the
South, will face either Sequoia or Half Moon Bay, the top
seed in the North, in the semifinals at 7:30 p.m. Friday at
Mills.
No one epitomized Burlingames hustle Wednesday night
more than Jack Baker. The junior forward checked into the
game with just over five minutes remaining in the second
quarter and proceeded to pull down nine rebounds. He added
five more in the second half, along with five points, to finish with 14 rebounds on the night.
Hes done that all year. Hes Johnny at the Ready,
Harames said. Hes just always around the ball.
And on this night, that wasnt even a game high. No, that
honor belonged to Burlingame wing Tyler Garlitos, who

pulled down 15 to go along with 15 points. Vinny Ferrari

also recorded a double-double, scoring a game-high 22
points and grabbing 10 rebounds.
All told, Burlingame outrebounded the Rams 64-23.
Nothing demonstrated the Panthers proficiency on the
boards more than during a second-quarter possession that
saw them get five cracks at the basket before Bassel
Mufarreh finally hit a layup.
Mufarreh finished with 10 points and nine boards.
Theyre size up front kinda killed us in the first half,
said Westmoor coach Herb Yaptinchay. They were relentless on the board and we didnt respond. They (the Panthers)
had a little more desire, just a little more willpower.
And yet the Rams still managed to somehow stay in
the game, until Burlingame finally put them away in the
fourth quarter.
Westmoor got off to a quick start, getting a layup from
Marquez Costiniano off the opening tip, which he followed
with a 3-pointer following a pair of Ferrari free throws.
Burlingame took the lead for good on a Gray Goodman
layup which sparked an 8-2 run to end the first quarter.
Mufarreh hit a bucket, which was followed by back-to-back
Garlitos buckets in transition.
A Jason Sto. Domingo 3-pointer ended the quarter for
Westmoor, trailing just 15-10 after one period of play.
In the second, the Panthers simply overwhelmed the
Rams. Burlingame outscored Westmoor 22-6 in the second
and outrebounded the Rams 25-3 in the quarter.
Burlingame opened the quarter with back-to-back 3s from
Ferrari, followed by a Mufarreh putback on the fifth shot of
the possession.
After a bucket from Westmoors Costiniano, the Panthers
ripped off seven more unanswered points, with Ferrari hitting his third 3 of the quarter followed by four straight
points from Garlitos.
Ethan Chang ended that run for the Rams, but Burlingame
ended the quarter on a 7-2 run and led by 21, 37-16, at halftime.
But credit Westmoor for not throwing in the towel. The
Rams scored the first nine points of the third quarter to
close to 37-25, a run that was punctuated by a Costiniano 3.
A turnaround jumper from Mufarreh settled down the
Panthers, but the Rams kept coming. Westmoor close to 11,
43-32 with 2:13 left in the quarter, but a baseline, fall-away
jumper and then a leaner from Ferrari pushed Burlingames
lead back to 15, 47-32, and the Panthers led by 13, 47-34,
going into the final period.

Clock winding down to NBAs trade deadline

By Jon Krawczynski
The Detroit Pistons and Charlotte Hornets

are on the board, not waiting until the NBAs
trade deadline on Thursday to make moves
they hope will bolster
their playoffs chances
this season.
The Pistons acquired
scorer Tobias Harris from
Orlando
while
the
Hornets added Courtney
Lee from Memphis to
help fill the void created
Tobias Harris by the injury to Charlotte
forward Michael KiddGilchrist. In a deadlinedriven league,
both
moves were aggressive in
that they came well before
the 3 p.m. Eastern time
cutoff for trades to be
made.
They also may serve as
catapults for other teams
Courtney Lee out there shopping. The
time is nearing for teams
that have held cards tightly to their chests to
start putting them on the table.
There are several issues teams are considering this week as they mull making significant trades. Among them is the sheer dominance of the Golden State Warriors, who
have established themselves as the favorites
to win the championship again this season.
As teams went into the All-Star break,
there was a feeling across the league that the
Spurs, Cavaliers and Thunder may be the
only teams equipped to challenge the defending champions for the title. That thought
process may cause several other teams just
outside of that foursome to play it a little
more conservatively when it comes to
trades.
The Pistons and Stan Van Gundy didnt let
that stop them from acquiring Harris, figuring that adding the cost certainty of the three
years remaining on his deal would help them

shape their vision going forward rather than
look at the unknowns of free agents added
this summer.
Free agency is another huge factor that
will influence teams with the trade deadline
looming; its shaping up to be a free agency
bonanza in July.
With a sky-rocketing salary cap, the
majority of teams in the NBA will have
enough cap room to add at least one maxcontract player to their rosters this summer.
That will create a frenetic push for the top
tier of free agents, including Oklahoma City
star Kevin Durant, Detroit center Andre
Drummond and Toronto guard DeMar
DeRozan.
So making a deal now to add an impact
player, while difficult to pull off, could help
a team avoid having to go all-in next summer.
Here are some of the more intriguing
teams to watch headed into Thursdays trade
deadline:
Atlanta Hawks
Los Angeles Clippers

They have seemed to find their groove lately, oddly enough while star forward Blake
Griffin has been out because of a quad injury
and a suspension for punching an assistant
equipment manager. Despite all the drama,
coach and GM Doc Rivers said on Tuesday that
Griffin would not be traded. But Rivers still
wants to upgrade his bench and add some more
scoring punch to give them every chance possible to come out of the rugged West.
Toronto Raptors
Coach Dwane Caseys crew has done a
remarkable job absorbing key injuries to
remain as the No. 2 seed in the East. DeRozan
and Kyle Lowry give them one of the best
backcourts in the league and the hope is
DeMarre Carroll will back with a month or so
to go in the regular season to gear up for the
playoffs. They are looking to add another ballhandler off the bench and a power forward that
can stretch the defense with his shooting in
hopes of avoiding another early playoff exit.
Last years feel-good season has given

way to a more sober 2015-16, with a 31-24
record good for fourth in the East and the
sense that they have to make a big move to
vault back into contention with Cleveland
and Toronto. They could be the most likely
candidate to part with a key piece to make
that happen, with Al Horford and Jeff Teague
among the players that have been mentioned
as possible trade bait.
Miami Heat
Boston Celtics
Houston Rockets
GM Danny Ainge has spent the last few

years accumulating assets perhaps most
attractive is Brooklyns unprotected firstround draft choice this June to put him in
position to make a Godfather offer to a team
for one of its established stars. Now that the
Celtics are a surprising 32-23 and sitting at
No. 3 in the East, the time to give superb
coach Brad Stevens the star he has been
looking for could be right now.
One of the biggest disappointments in the

league this season and with one of the most
active dealmakers in the league in GM Daryl
Morey is a combination that makes the
Rockets an easy candidate for this list. Dwight
Howards name continues to surface in reports
about possible deals as Morey looks to make
changes to build a roster that better meshes
with ball-dominant guard James Harden.
Chris Bosh has resumed taking blood thinners to treat a blood clot, the same condition
that caused him to miss the final 30 games of
last season. Bosh is hopeful to play again this
season, but the uncertainty surrounding the
situation could prompt the Heat to look for
ways to bolster the roster around Dwyane Wade
and Goran Dragic, both over 30 years old.
Skyline endures
tough loss amid
a playoff crunch
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Skyline womens basketball team suffered a big blow to its playoff hopes
Wednesday, falling at home to Chabot 59-52.
The Trojans (6-5 in Coast North, 16-11
overall) trailed throughout most of the
game, and saw a double-digit deficit grow to
as much as 19 in the second half. But
Skyline ultimately outscored the Gladiators
16-10 in the third quarter to climb back in
it, and managed to claim the lead with three
minutes remaining in regulation on a bucket by Alyssa Dela Cruz.
From there, however, Skyline went cold.
Despite two open looks on the two following possessions, both shots rimmed out as
Chabot (8-3, 15-12) climbed back ahead for
good.
Sophomore wing Dana Michaels scored
a team-high 15 points for Skyline and
Victoria Langi added 11.
With the win, Chabot clinches at least a
share of second place in the Coast North
Conference. The Trojans entered with a
chance to move into a tie for second place,
but now fall to fourth place, a half game
behind third-place San Jose City College.
Skyline entering play Wednesday
ranked 16th in Northern California in RPI
entered the week on the fringe for the 18team Northern California playoff field, and
can still eek in even with San Jose and Laney
likely to pass them in the rankings.
I think we put up a nice enough season
to be there, Skyline head coach Chris
Watters said. But its just been one of
those years.
Skyline closes its regular season Friday
at home against Las Positas. Tip-off is

Mets GM Alderson says Hoops player pierced by wood floor

long-term prognosis good
MIDDLETON, Wis. A high school basketball player in southern Wisconsin is
expected to return to the court soon after she
was impaled by a piece of a gyms wood
floor.
The 14-year-old Wisconsin Heights High
School player was running down the court
during a basketball tournament Sunday
when she fell and slid along the floor at a
field house in Middleton.
Tournament organizer Perry Hibner says

the girl told the referee that she couldnt get
up because there was a piece of wood stuck
to her. Hibner says splinters from the broken piece of wood had pierced the girls
stomach region.
Spectators were asked to temporarily
leave the tournament as paramedics treated
the girl and rushed her to a Madison hospital where she spent the night. Hibner tells
WISC-TV the girl suffered no internal organ
damage.
Royals add netting at home stadium
MLB brief
KANSAS CITY, Mo. The Royals are

installing additional netting at Kauffman
Stadium that extends toward the outfield end
of each teams dugout to improve the safety
for fans sitting along the foul lines.
Several clubs have considered ways to
protect fans from foul balls hit into those
seats, and some have suggested that similar
netting should be mandatory in major
league ballparks.
Royals vice president Kevin Uhlich said
Wednesday that the club considered several

options before deciding on the new netting.
The club hopes it strikes a balance between
safety and allowing fans sitting in premium
seats to have the same kind of ballpark
experience as in years past.
The World Series champion Royals play
their opener April 4 against the New York
Mets, the team they beat in five games for
the title.
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. New York Mets

general manager Sandy Alderson says his
long-term prognosis is good as he undergoes cancer treatment.
I feel very well, the 68-year-old said
Wednesday after arriving at spring training. I have therapy every couple of weeks,
and the side effects have not been significant. Really, since the winter meetings,
Ive been working full time, and I probably
could have been at the winter meetings had
I not had some sessions scheduled. I feel
great. Im ready to go. I will disappear from
here a couple of times during spring training, just to go back to New York for some
additional treatment. Otherwise I should be
here and 100 percent and ready to go.
Alderson had not disclosed the type of
cancer. He said he was diagnosed four or
five days after the Mets clinched the NL
East title on Sept. 26 at Cincinnati.
It was a little surreal, having not been to
the World Series in 25

years, having never been
diagnosed with cancer,
Alderson said. It was a
little bit odd, but the
great thing about the
postseason is it was a
distraction at that time
and distractions are
Sandy Alderson always nice.
Mets pitchers and
catchers reported Wednesday coming off
their first NL pennant since 2000 and a
five-game loss to Kansas City in the World
Series. Alderson was hired by the Mets in
October 2010 and presided over a turnaround that led to an NL East-best 90-72
record last year, which stopped a streak of
six losing seasons.
Alderson hopes Mets captain David
Wright, limited to 38 regular-season games
last year because of a hamstring injury and
spinal stenosis, will be able to play in
approximately 130 games this season.

The Bears cruised into the semifinals of the Peninsula
Athletic League tournament as the top-seeded team in the
South beat up the No. 4 seed in the North.
M-A led by just two, 16-14 after the first quarter, but limited Westmoor to just 22 over the final three quarters.
Greer Hoyem led the way for M-A, scoring a game-high
19 points. Ofa Sili added 13 and Mele Kailahi had 10 for the
Bears.
Giselle Mahinay led Westmoor with 12 points.
South City 45, Mills 43

The No. 2-seed North Warriors held off the No. 3-seed
South Vikings in the PAL tournament.
South City led 22-20 at halftime, but an 11-6 push in the
third quarter gave Mills a 31-28 advantage going into the
final quarter, where the Warriors outscored the Vikings 1713 to pull out the victory. A Brittney Cedeo putback with
32 seconds to play proved to be the difference for the
Warriors. Cedeo paced South City with 19 points.
Mills was led by Aubrie Businger, who finished with 19
points, 10 rebounds, three blocks, two steals and two
assists. She missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer that would have
won the game for Mills. Kaela Stonebarger added 10 points,
while Julia Gibbs was held to just four.
South City will face Menlo-Atherton at 6 p.m. Friday at

independent wrestling website. The Tigers will be sending 10
wrestlers to CCS, including Victoria Borrego, who is seeded No.
1 in 101-pound bracket.
They brought a good crew of returning placers (to the 2016
tournament), Morgan said. They are very well respected in the
girls wrestling world.
The Tigers, however, are far from the only PAL team with a
chance to make some noise this weekend. Eleven PAL teams
will be sending wrestlers to CCS, and in addition to Borrego,
claim three more top seeds. Westmoors Lisette Young is the top
seed in the 116-pound division, while Menlo-Athertons Fola
Akinola is No. 1 at 160. Aragons Angela Bonnani holds down
the top spot at 235.
In all, the PAL has 17 female wrestlers seeded in the 14 CCS
divisions.
[Girls wrestling has] been growing. Last year, we sent 50
(more girls) than last year, 30 more this year. Its doing well.
We have some really good girl wrestlers in our section. Im
proud of that, Morgan said.

The Crystal Springs girls soccer team will try to do something today it has not done: win a CCS play-in game.
Crystal Springs (9-1 WBAL Skyline) will host Notre DameSan Jose (4-6-1 WBAL Foothill) at 3:30 p.m., with the winner
earning the West Bay Athletic Leagues fourth automatic CCS
bid.
Despite capturing the WBALs Skyline Division title with a
1-0 win over Mercy-Burlingame last week, the Gryphons still
have to win one more game to punch their ticket to the CCS
tournament, which begins next week.
Unlike every other multi-divisional league in CCS, the

Boys soccer
Half Moon Bay 1, Burlingame 0
The Cougars picked up their second Bay Division win of
the season with the victory over the Panthers.
Half Moon Bay (2-9-2 PAL Bay) scored the games only
lower division, in this case, the Skyline Division. Instead, the
Skyline champ must play the fourth-place nisher in the upper
division, the Foothill Division, which in this case is Notre
Dame-San Jose.
The last time the Gryphons were in this position was 2012,
when they lost to Castilleja, but because they had more points
than the Gators, still qualied for CCS.
They are hoping for a different outcome this time around and
they have proven this season they have the repower to get the
job done. Crystal Springs has two of the top scorers in the section, according to Maxpreps.com, in junior wing Megan
Duncanson and freshman attacking midelder Jayla Aldridge,
who have 22 and 20 goals on the season, respectively.
The Gryphons do take a hit, however, with the loss of midelder Nikki Lee, who is one of the top midelders in the section. Lee suffered an injury early last week, missed the Mercy
game and still has not been cleared to play. Lee, a DeAnza Force
club player and member of the age-group, national-team pool,
was denitely missed in the Gryphons title-clinching win as
their mideld appeared disjointed at times. Coach Michael
Flynn believes its because his team wasnt prepared to be without Lee, but that they will be for Thursdays showdown with the
Regents.
Going into the Mercy game, [the team] still thought, Oh,
shell be here. When they realized she wasnt, they were like,
Whoa, Flynn said. Now, were preparing a different game
plan without her. They know theyre not going to have her and
other players are going to have to step up.
Because of Lees absence, Flynn will be putting more on
Duncansons plate. She will move from the wing to more of a
central position, but will be moving around a lot.
Megan becomes a very crucial player. Were going to move
her around were going to allow her a lot more freedom to
move around and be more productive, Flynn said.
The biggest question mark about Crystal Springs, however,
has been its goalkeeping. But sophomore Prisilla Sanchez has
grown by leaps and bounds since the beginning of the season.
She appears a lot more condent on shots she should stop and

Twice the Gryphons rallied from a one-goal deficit to tie

Matthew MacFarquhars goal off an AJ Hamer assist in the
second half proved to be the difference for SHP (6-4-1

The Gators led 1-0 at halftime, thanks to a Hamer goal off

Girls soccer Tuesday

Woodside 6, Hillsdale 1
Striker Jillienne Aguilera reached a couple of milestones
in the Wildcats rout of the Knights.
Aguilera scored four times to go over the 100-goal mark
for her career. Going into the game, she was 98. With the
four tallies Tuesday, she now has 102 and counting.
It also gives her 36 goals on the season, a new single-season high for the four-year varsity player.
that has translated into her beginning to make the crucial save
as well. She should be ying sky high after her 10-save performance against the Crusaders last week, a game that saw her
make three game-saving stops in the nal 11 minutes of the
game.
Crystal Springs has already played Notre Dame-San Jose once
this season, losing a non-league match 1-0 in the week after
returning from winter break. The fact the Gryphons played well
then and are playing well now gives Flynn condence going
into Thursdays match.
I think its a good matchup for us, Flynn said. These girls
really want to go to CCS.

SPORTS
BEARS
Claverie swooped in and gathered in the weak
pass and then finished to the far right corner for a 10 M-A lead.
That was our goal from the beginning, pressure
all the time, Claverie said.
Aragon nearly found the equalizer three minutes
later, but a Sandoval header off a corner kick hit the
crossbar, bounced down and was cleared away by
the M-A defense.
Ten minutes later, M-A doubled its lead, due in
large part to a play often seen in hockey, where a
forward will stand in front of the goalkeeper to
shield him away from a shot.
The Bears earned a free kick just past the midfield
stripe and defender Quinn Rowland stepped up to
take it. He hammered his shot toward the Aragon
penalty box, where Kyle Bryan jumped up in front
of the Dons netminder. It was just enough to draw
his attention away from the ball, which bounced
once and settled into the back of the net to put the
OCEANA
Bears up 2-0 just before halftime.

I heard coach say put it right on the keeper,
Rowland said. Kyle Bryan stepped in there and disrupted [the goalkeeper].
Despite being a defender, Rowland has no problem stepping up into the attack and he was particularly feisty on Wednesday. He had another free-kick
goal nullified by a M-A foul and he later assisted on
the Bears third goal of the game that iced it.
We knew we needed the win, Rowland said. We
just knew we needed to step up.
Aragon had a chance to cut the deficit in half just
before halftime when Dakota Severson broke in on
goal and with a defender on his shoulder, managed
to get off a shot that was deflected wide by the toe of
M-A goalkeeper Ari Eisner.
The Bears bid to add to their lead early in the second half went by the boards when Axel Brenner
fired a shot wide after a series of one-touch passes
got Brenner into space.
Aragon came right back with another bid to get
back in the game. Victor Lopez ran onto a through
ball and had a step on his defender. He chipped the
ball over a charging Eisner, but Riu Sakaguchi came
flying over his midfield spot to head the ball out of
danger.
A lot of times we have a size advantage in

league, Wiley said. But in the playoffs it is
kind of different.
Oceana counters by trying to run teams to
death. All of the Sharks four club players come
from transition-oriented club teams. Margate,
Angelyne Dayrit and Nandi Eskridge all play for
the Pacifica-based club Game Time, while Langi
plays at Payes Place.
From the start Wednesday, Langi showed she
can stretch the length of the floor better than
anyone in the game. As one of the Sharks
tallest players, she still fits best at guard. And in
the fourth quarter, she produced one of her prettiest passes after scrapping for a loose ball
around midcourt and floating a pass into the
paint for Margate, who scored on a layup to put

just threw it up a lot, Langi said. But I was still
able to draw fouls and get some buckets.
Height matchups are Oceanas biggest concern going into the postseason. The co-PAL
North champs were big fish in a small pond
while playing in a league that features little in
the way of imposing height. And with drawing
Carlmont just the No. 4 ranked team out of
the PAL South in the PAL tourney opener, the
Sharks are already feeling the post pressure.

It would be the last real Aragon threat of the
game.
The Bears, meanwhile, put the game away in the
59th minute. Rowland took a throw-in on the right
sideline and made an innocuous throw to Oro.
But Oro immediately turned it not only into a
scoring chance, but a goal. He avoided one Aragon
defender, touched the ball into space and laced a
shot from 30 yards that skimmed off the bottom of
the crossbar and bounced down and into the goal to
put the Bears up 3-0.
The race for the Bay Division crown is not over,
however. An Aragon win Friday over Half Moon
Bay, coupled with a Carlmont win over M-A would
mean the Bears and Dons would finish in a firstplace tie.
Regardless of what happens Friday, Aragons
Markoulakis is already pleased with his teams performance this season. He said they had only two
goals and the Dons have already reached both of
them.
Our goals this year were to stay up in the Bay
and sneak into a CCS spot, Markoulakis said.
Well be in the Bay next year and we qualified for
CCS about two weeks ago.
Oceana up 38-33.
Perhaps the reason it was Langis night was
because the Scots came out keying on Margate
to neutralize Oceanas most dangerous 3-point
shooter. For the most part Carlmont succeeded.
Margate only hit two 3s, but they both came at
clutch times.
Margates first 3-pointer gave Oceana the lead
back midway through the third quarter. Then in
the fourth quarter, after Carlmont closed to within two, her other trey made it a two possession
game.
The latter proved to be a crucial shot.
Carlmont trailed by one at four different junctures of the fourth quarter, and closed it again
after Margates 3-pointer, when Alexa

Garage upgrades make room

for storage and entertaining
By Melissa Kossler Dutton
Many homeowners would never let sports gear, tools and

yard equipment clutter up the front hall where its the first
things guests see.
But theyre willing to wend their own way into the house
through a garage stuffed with those things, plus patio furniture, bikes, holiday decorations and more, says Todd Carter
of Tailored Living featuring Premier Garage, in Reston,
Virginia.
The company focuses on renovating and improving
garages, and thats a hot area in home renovation, experts
say. From cabinetry and shelving to flooring and overhead
storage, there are many new ways to turn a garage into an
organized and attractive space for storage, entertaining or
working out.
The trend has been made possible by todays larger
garages.
The skys the limit, said Greg Parsons, owner of Motor
City Garages in Clarkston, Michigan. Its all based on the
homeowners stuff.
He routinely outfits garages with high-end, scratchresistant cabinetry, sinks and epoxy flooring an easyto-clean coating that comes in numerous colors and finishes. He recently added a line of cabinetry that lets buyers customize the color to match their car.
Some homeowners end up adding televisions and seating,
Parsons said.
Jeff and Linda Marsack of Macomb, Michigan, hired
Parsons to organize their two-car garage. They added cabinets to store shoes, sporting equipment and tools. She
chose red cabinets to match their kitchen.
Every time you open your garage, you really do smile
because its so organized, she said. Who doesnt love an
organized space?
Susan Rhodes of Tempe, Arizona, purged a lot of items
from her garage, added nice flooring and cabinetry, and created a work bench near a window where she can do crafts or
pot flowers. The space is so tidy that when temperatures
dropped over Christmas, she moved tables from the patio
into the garage for dining.
It was just perfect, she said. Its good to know, its not
just for cars and gardening.
Professional organizer Melanie Dennis gets many calls
from homeowners who want to redo their garage because its
too cluttered to fit a car.
Its a combination of people not wanting to get rid of
their stuff and having access to buy things 24/7 and have it
delivered to their house, said Dennis, owner of Neat Streak
in Columbus, Ohio.
Families today have more stuff than previous generations
did, she said. They decorate for more holidays, have dishes
that they only use on special dinners, and hang onto photos and sentimental items with the intent of making scrap-
Storage products for the garage include wall-mounted panels with slots that can hold everything from pliers to bikes to
motorized lifts for hanging golf bags and kayaks.

PARK
negotiating a land lease with the ownership
agency.
Some
councilmembers,
however,
expressed reservations over the proposal to
spend such a significant amount of money
to develop a piece of property which may
only be available to lease for a limited
amount of time.
City Attorney Kathleen Kane said the
State Lands Commission typically looks to
negotiate leases lasting roughly 20 years,
without including an option to automatically extend for a longer term, which served as
a source of consternation for some councilmembers.
I dont know if we want to spend $4 million to $5 million for a park we may only
have for 20 years, said Mayor Ann
Keighran.
Vice Mayor Ricardo Ortiz expressed a similar sentiment.
Its disappointing to hear the length of
the lease, he said. That raises other questions.
SUBURBAN LIVING
Under the granted approval, Burlingame
officials will move forward with State Lands
Commission representatives on discussions over possible terms of a lease, before
coming back before the council in the coming months for further consideration.
The park is one of a variety of unfunded
capital improvement projects the council
has identified as a potential opportunity to
pursue.
Last year, officials received a presentation regarding potential public financing
methods, such as a tax measure, which could
be sought to finance the variety of projects
being balanced by the council.
As the park project progresses, councilmembers expressed a desire to build athletic fields on much of the property which
currently sits vacant behind a fence near
Kincaids restaurant.
Potential development of the land is not
without its own set of hurdles, however, as
seasonal wetlands interspersed throughout
the property require treatment respecting
their classification as sensitive natural
environments, under land use regulations.
Parks and Recreation Director Margaret
Glomstad said officials are aiming to get
permits allowing field development across
the site, with the understanding the pres-
ence of wetlands, which only occur during

seasons of heavy rain, may force a compromise.
We might want all grass, but we may not
get all grass when we go to permit this,
Glomstad said.
There are more than 14,771 square feet of
wetlands dotting the property, according to
an initial environmental study of the land,
which is under the jurisdiction of the
Regional Water Quality Control Board.
Should the city ultimately receive
approval to develop much of the lands into
field space, Keighran advocated in favor of
SCHOOL
on when breaks should be held.
But as the calendars are subject to
agreement during the collective bargaining process, officials did not host
such a thorough discussion in the formulation of the existing schedule,
which has left some members of the
school community feeling left out in
the cold.
More than 600 parents have signed a
petition advocating in favor of keeping the current class schedule, and
many expressed frustrations claiming
their voices are not being heard.
During a meeting earlier this month,
the school board postponed making a
decision on the issue, in favor of gathering more information.
Elementary school district officials
agreed in 2014 to align their school
calendar with the San Mateo Union
High School District calendar, to make
it easier for parents of students in both
districts to plan vacations.

requiring some sports leagues potentially
interested in playing on them to pay for a
portion of the maintenance cost.
Councilwoman Donna Colson noted athletic fields on nearby high school campuses
are expected to soon have lights installed,
which could enhance public access to available recreation spaces, and lessen the
demand on the potential Bayfront park
fields.
Despite the hurdles facing the project,
some councilmembers expressed optimism.
Im excited about this project, and look
forward to it as it evolves, said
Councilwoman Emily Beach.
Councilman Michael Brownrigg shared a
similar perspective and noted the lead time
officials have with regards to hashing out
the design of the project over the coming
weeks and months.
I think there is an opportunity for additional work, but first we have to get control
of the land, he said. Almost 9 acres of
public space is a profound opportunity.
Officials will spend the following weeks
before the issue comes back to the council

Commission.
It will be interesting to see what we get,
said Kane.
mentary school district officials again

showed a similar respect for local families while designing the current calendar.
Working parents may struggle to
negotiate a class schedule which seemingly gives frequent breaks to students, said Stray, as they are often left
scrambling to find child care while
balancing professional obligations.
It is tough enough to raise kids in
this day and age, much less have a
school schedule that is so screwed up,
said Stray.
Stray especially takes issue with the
frequency of shortened school days
that let out at noon, as well as common
professional development opportunities for teachers, which takes students
out of the classroom too often for his
preference.
He said the time away from class
could lessen the capacity for lesson
retention, which indicates to him priorities fueling the calendar formation
are not in the best interest of students.
This serves the interest of the
teachers, rather than the students, he
said.
Stray said shortening the length of
the fall break in October did take step

toward addressing some of the concerns he had regarding working vacations into a busy work schedule, but
felt more effort needed to be made
toward that end.
I just dont think they took into
consideration the burden on parents,
he said.
Board President Ed Coady has said he
encouraged parents to offer their perspective on the calendar issue, even
though a comprehensive outreach
effort was not offered in the most
recent round of schedule development.
For parents who are unable to take
days off of work to care for their students who are out of class, Stray said
the calendar can be a tremendous cause
for concern, which deserves consideration of an entire community, not solely district officials.
Its just not a healthy situation,
said Stray. It creates more undue stress
on families in a very stressful area of
the world to make ends meet.

Plants can keep

romance in the
garden all year
By Lee Reich
Cupid has shot his arrows, but

love lasts all year. To keep the
Valentines Day feeling alive in
your garden all spring and summer, consider these love-themed
plants:
Our first stop is love-in-a-mist
(Nigella damascena), a shortlived annual that must be sown
more than once to have flowers
through the summer. It comes
back every year, from seeds it
self-sows. The pale, blue flowers,
cheery and hopeful, are surrounded by frilly leaves that become
puffy fruits retaining some of that
frill.
Bolster the charm needed for
loves beginnings with love
grass (Eragrostis spp.). The plant
is easy to grow and tolerates periodically dry soil. Amethyst flowers cap the stalks in midsummer.
EARLY ROMANCE
Even easier to grow is love
apple, better known as the tomato. Sow these seeds indoors 6
weeks before the date of the average last killing frost of spring in
your area, which you can find out
from your county Cooperative
Extension office.
Lets move on to the pink flowers of kiss-me-over-the-gardengate (Polygonum orientale). At
first blush, this plant can be a bit
frightening because it looks like
a familiar weed, smartweed,
which spreads far and wide.
Actually, it looks like smartweed
on steroids, because kiss-meover-the-garden-gate can grow 8
feet high. But it is better behaved
than its weedy lookalike, selfseeds with discretion and, with
much larger flowers held up higher, is prettier.
Now were at love-in-a-puff
(Cardiospermum halicacabum),
more substantial yet fast-growing and potentially invasive.
Despite tendrils, this vine might
need help growing upward. The
small flowers are followed by
showy, pale red, inflated fruit. No
need to blare out love at this
point; you must open the fruits to
see that each seed has a heart
etched into its surface.
Leaves of love-tree are heart-shaped and each spring, as if reaffirming love, the branches are smothered in flowers.
UPS AND DOWNS

Love-in-idleness (Viola tricolor)
is
the
flower
that
Shakespeares Oberon in A
Midsummer Nights Dream
recounted was before milk-white,
now purple with loves wound.
Oberon went on to use this small,
wild pansy as the aphrodisiac for a
midsummer nights mischief.
Broken hearts might turn to
love-lies-bleeding (Amaranthus
caudatus), which drips globs of
tiny red flowers from the ends of

its stems. Fortunately, its not a
perennial.
On a happier note, try hearts
entangled (Ceropegia woodii),
notable not for its flowers but for
its lovely, heart-shaped leaves,
which are coated with silver and
strung along thin, creeping
stems. The plant is a succulent
that can weather all sorts of conditions if provided constant
warmth.
Finally, we come to love-tree
(Cercis siliquastrum), the most

substantial plant on this romantic
ramble. Our native redbud tree is a
close relative, similar in leaf and
flower, to this native of southern
Europe and western Asia. Leaves
of love-tree are also heart-shaped
and each spring, as if reaffirming
love, the branches are smothered
in flowers. The small flowers are
rose-colored, not red-hot but with
enough blue to remind us of that
love-in-a-mist at the beginning of
the path.

The casting of Fiennes comes as
controversy rages over the lack of
diversity in the Oscar nominations and
in the film industry at large. The actor
admitted to being initially surprised
by the colorblind casting. It was a
shock. I thought someone had got it

Seeking to tap into the new homebuyer market, each townhome would
have either a two- or three-car garage
with electric vehicle charging infrastructure and permeable pavement out
front. In creating a family-friendly
environment, there will also be
access to community gardens, a small
play area, barbecue and outdoor seating.
The Planning Commission approved
the project in January after members
said it was underutilized land and a
blight on the neighborhood.
City Ventures entered into a contract
to buy the motel in 2013 when it had
an asking price of $8.5 million.
At that time, City Ventures contended that the site could be developed into
a 145-unit multi-family residential
complex or condominiums or even a
skilled-nursing or assisted-living senior housing complex under city zoning
rules.
The Avalon rents rooms by the day
for $49.99 and also rents by the week.
City Ventures is known for building
homes with advanced green technology.

The site was sought in 2000 by a
group that wanted to tear down the
motel that was built in 1936 for a
Amerisuites hotel with 194 rooms.
Neighbors protested the Planning
Commissions approval of the project, however, and it never got constructed.
The council approved the project on
a 5-0 vote.
Among its approvals was a Historic
Demolition Permit needed to tear down
the motel since it qualifies to be listed
on the states register of historic
places.
In October, Planning Commissioner
Eric Rodriguez visited the site and
said: After almost tripping over a
half-full bottle of malt liquor, I was
just really disappointed as to how this
was part of this neighborhood that
deserves better. I think San Mateo
deserves better. We talked a lot about
how important housing is, I think this
is a great spot for housing. I think this
is what we need in this area.

Customers increasingly ask for
three-car garages or bump-outs that

McDonough said.
The National Association of
Homebuilders found that 23 percent of

Storage products for the garage
