Recovering attack victim spreads message of tolerance with students

By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

As the five-year anniversary of

his vicious attack after a San
Francisco Giants baseball game
nears, Bryan Stow shared his lessons from the harrowing experience with local youth in hopes of
preventing a similar tragedy.
As Stow continues his long
recovery from the assault he suffered outside of Dodger Stadium in
Los Angeles, he has turned his
sights to publicly condemning the
behavior which he claims led to
the beating that left him with

severe brain trauma, and changed

his life.
Stow spoke before hundreds of
students during a lecture Thursday,
March 3, at Hillsdale High School
in San Mateo to warn them against
the dangers of bullying, and
encourage young people to treat
each other with kindness and
respect.
Stow, who walks with crutches
and spoke before the students from
a wheelchair, refused to allow the
beating at the hands of two since
convicted assailants dampen his
sense of humor, which was prominently featured throughout the

nearly hourlong presentation.

He also expressed a commitment
to not let a dark moment from his
past stand in the way of what he
hopes will be a bright future.
One day, my ultimate goal is to
drive. Be scared, he said, to a
round of applause and laughter
from the crowd.

Norwood were sentenced to prison

Angeles Dodgers in 2011, and

Job fair opens in South San Francisco

Opportunities for the unemployed and those hunting a better job
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

South San Franciscans seeking work or

looking to upgrade from their current job are
invited to a career fair hosted by the city.
Sees
Candies,
JGB
Biopharma,
Munchery, the South San Francisco Unified
School District and more than 40 other
employers are expected to attend the free
event Friday, March 4.
LaTanya Bellow, director of Human
Resources, said city officials are excited to
present the fair, designed to offer residents
better employment opportunities.
One of the real reasons for doing something like this is to get employers and
recruiters face time with eligible applicants, she said. It really connects the businesses with a number of local residents,
which we believe provides a brighter future
for the people of South San Francisco.
The event, held in the Municipal Services
Building at 33 Arroyo Drive, is the second
time since 2014 the city has hosted a career
fair.
The initial fair was so successful, said
Bellow, officials were compelled to host
another.
Nearly 350 residents seeking jobs from
roughly 35 employers came to the last
fair, said Bellow, and she expects at least

Vatican exempt from disclosure
SACRAMENTO California Gov. Jerry

last year, but he did not include the excursion in a list of gifts he must disclose
because the plane belongs to a personal
friend, billionaire real-estate developer
George Marcus.
The Democratic governor reported this

400 to attend this year.

It was such a success for the community,
we decided to do it again, she said.
A recent demographics study showed joblessness in South San Francisco has shrunk
to 4.5 percent last year, down from when
more than 10 percent of residents were without work roughly five years ago.
Despite the increase in employment,
Bellow said there is still substantial demand
to improve the workforce.
Bellow noted though just because many
residents have jobs, some could still be
looking to upgrade their current employment to a more satisfying position.
There are individuals that may be working, but not at the job they want to have,
she said.
When a job becomes available in the
citys Human Resources Department, Bellow
said it is common to receive between 100
and 200 applications, which is indicative of
the desire for residents to land quality jobs.
We want to make sure people have that
opportunity in the community to have the
type of job they want, she said.
Heads from the citys Parks and
Recreation, Police and Fire departments will
be present at the event, as well as more than
40 other employers.
More than half of the jobs offered will be
hosted in South San Francisco, said Bellow,

and the rest are scattered throughout the

region.
For those who need assistance sharpening
skills before landing a job, resources will be
available as well, such as offering tips on
how to draft a better resume.
Bellow said she expects some will be
offered jobs on site during the event.
Positions such as bartenders, executive
chefs, housekeepers, caregivers, shift leaders, managers, administrative assistants,
bus mechanics and more will be available at
the event.
Career fairs also grant networking opportunities for potential employers and job
seekers, said Bellow, as much of the job market has transitioned to the Internet, which
may not be available to everyone.
There is still value added in having faceto-face time, said Bellow.
She said she expects the fair will be well
attended, and could lead to many residents
landing new jobs.
We are expecting it will be a really wonderful event that creates a lot of energy for
the city of South San Francisco, she said.
The free career fair is 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Friday,
March 4, in the Municipal Services
Building, 33 Arroyo Drive. South San

admission. For more information call 8778522.

State Assembly approves

raising smoking age to 21
By Jonathan J. Cooper
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO

The
California
Assembly
voted
Thursday to raise the smoking age
to 21, regulate electronic cigarettes and take a variety of other
steps aiming to restrict access to
tobacco.
California would become one of
the first states to raise the smoking age from 18, joining dozens of
cities around the country that have
already moved to the higher limit.
It comes days after San Francisco
officials increased the legal age to
buy tobacco products in the city to
21.
Ending months of stalling on
legislation approved last year in
the Senate, Assembly Democrats
said the measure will prevent

young people from taking up

smoking. Proponents say it would
make it much harder for teens to
get access to tobacco because 18year-old high school students
would not be able to buy it for
their underage friends.
This will save the medical system in the outgoing years millions
of
dollars,
said
Assemblyman Jim Wood, DHealdsburg. It will save thousands of lives.
Republicans said the government should not restrict peoples
freedom to make their own decisions.
I dont smoke. I dont encourage my children to, said
Assemblyman Donald Wagner, RIrvine. But theyre adults, and its
our job to treat our citizens as
adults, not to nanny them.

Military begins to recruit

women for combat jobs
By Lolita C. Baldor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The military

services are already beginning to
recruit women for combat jobs,
including as Navy SEALs, and
could see them serving in previously male-only Army and Marine
Corps infantry units by this fall,
according to new plans endorsed
by Defense Secretary Ash Carter
and obtained by the Associated
Press.
Some of the services predict that

only small numbers of women will

volunteer or get through training
courses, details of the plans show.
The Marine Corps estimates 200
women a year will move into
ground combat jobs. And U. S.
Special Operations Command said
it anticipates a small number of
volunteers for its commando jobs.
The Navy said it is already collecting submission packages from
prospective SEAL candidates and
could see women in entry-level
enlisted and officer training in
September and October.

The College Board says more than 463,000 test-takers signed up to take the new SAT in March.

Early takers say redesigned SAT

wasnt so bad and not so tricky
By Jennifer C. Kerr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Not so tricky.

More straightforward. Guessing
allowed. The newly redesigned SAT
college entrance exam that debuts
nationally Saturday is getting
good reviews from some of the students who took it early this week.
The new exam focuses less on
arcane vocabulary words and more
on real-world learning and analysis by students. Students no
longer will be penalized for guessing. And the essay has been made
optional.
The College Board says more
than 463,000 test-takers signed

up to take the new SAT in March,

up slightly from a year ago.
Because the exam is new, the
College Board, the nonprofit
organization that owns the SAT,
has restricted the exam on
Saturday to those applying to college or for scholarships, financial
aid or other programs requiring a
college test score. People who
dont fall into these categories
have been rescheduled to take the
May test, which will be released at
a point afterward. The College
Board said it took the action
because of concerns about possible theft.
The new SAT continues to test
reading, writing and math, with an

emphasis on analysis. Gone:

some of those obscure vocabulary
words like lachrymose that left
kids memorizing flash cards for
endless hours. Test-takers will
instead see more widely known
words used in the classroom.
Students will have to demonstrate
their ability to determine meaning
in different contexts.
Go ahead, take a guess. Test-takers no longer will be penalized for
wrong answers.
In math, students will see more
algebra and problem solving,
instead of testing a wide range of
math concepts. But use of calculators is limited to certain questions.

North Korea, on defense after

sanctions, makes nuclear threat
By Hyung-Jin Kim
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEOUL, South Korea North

Korean leader Kim Jong Un has ordered
his countrys nuclear weapons made
ready for use at a moments notice, the
countrys official state news agency
reported Friday.
Kim also said his country will ready
its military so it is prepared to carry
out pre-emptive attacks, calling the
current situation very precarious,
according to the Korean Central News
Agency.
The threats in the statement are part
of the authoritarian nations regular
propaganda effort to show strength in
the face of what it sees as an effort by
its enemies South Korea and the United
States to overthrow its leaders; it fol-

ahead of joint U.S.South Korean war

that the North
claims are invasion

preparations.
North Korea has threatened nuclear
war in the past, but it is unclear just
how advanced the countrys nuclear
program really is. Pyongyang is
thought to have a handful of crude
atomic bombs, but there is considerable outside debate about whether it is
technologically able to shrink a warhead and mount it on a missile.

The only way for defending the sovereignty of our nation and its right to
existence under the present extreme
situation is to bolster up nuclear force
both in quality and quantity, the
Norths dispatch Friday said, paraphrasing Kim Jong Un. It said that
Kim stressed the need to get the
nuclear warheads deployed for national
defense always on standby so as to be
fired any moment.
On Thursday, North Korea fired six
short-range projectiles into the sea off
its east coast, South Korean officials
said, just hours after the U.N. Security
Council approved the toughest sanctions on the North in two decades.
The firings also came shortly after
South Koreas National Assembly
passed its first legislation on human
rights in North Korea.

Speier, Huffman introduce relief bill for crabbers

By Sara Gaiser
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

U.S. Reps. Jackie Speier and Jared

Huffman will announce legislation
Friday in San Francisco that would
provide more than $138 million in
disaster assistance funding for
California fishermen and businesses
hurt by the shutdown of the commercial crab season.
The Crab Emergency Disaster
Assistance Act of 2016 would provide
$138. 15 million in assistance to
Dungeness and rock crab fishermen
and related businesses. The funding is
contingent on U. S. Secretary of
Commerce Penny Pritzker declaring
the states crab fishing industry a disaster and a commercial fishery failure.
The commercial crab season was
scheduled to start Nov. 17, but
remained closed after public health
officials determined crabs had high

levels of domoic
acid, a neurotoxin
that can be harmful
to humans if eaten,
caused by an algal
bloom.
Last month, the
state Department of
Fish and Wildlife
Jackie Speier moved to allow
recreational crab
fishing south of Point Reyes, but continued the closure of the commercial
season. The shutdown had caused an
estimated $48 million in losses to the
industry as of last month, according to
state officials.
Commercial fishermen and local
businesses have been economically
devastated by the closure of the
Dungeness crab season, Speier, DSan Mateo, said in a statement. Some
of them are on the brink of losing their
boats.

Romney, McCain: Trump a

danger for Americas future
By Steve Peoples and Brady McCombs
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

REUTERS

Donald Trump gestures between rival candidates Marco Rubio, left, and Ted Cruz, right, at the
U.S. Republican presidential candidates debate in Detroit, Mich.

Debate night: Insults flying

once more despite pledges
By Nancy Benac and David Eggert
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT Relentless in their attacks,

Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz leveled withering
criticism at Donald Trumps flexible policy positions and personal ethics in a
Republican presidential debate Thursday
that also featured a crude sexual reference
from Trump.
The two senators, who earlier had devoted
considerable debate time to throwing sharp
elbows at one another, pressed Trump
aggressively on his conservative credentials, his business practices and changing
policies.
But on a day when the Republican establishment was in chaos over the prospect of
Trump landing the GOP nomination, Cruz,
Rubio and Ohio Gov. John Kasich all said
they would support Trump if he won primary
election battle. And Trump, in turn, said he
would support whoever wins though he
seemed to find it inconceivable that it might
not be him.
Pressed on policy matters, Trump, in
short order, signaled a willingness to deal
on any number of issues.
He said it was fine that Florida Sen. Rubio
had negotiated with other lawmakers on
immigration policy.
He said he had changed his own mind to
support admitting more highly skilled
workers from overseas, adding matter-offactly, Im changing. Im changing. We
need highly skilled people in this country.
And he also was matter of fact about pro-

viding campaign contributions to leading

Democrats, including 10 checks to Hillary
Clinton, reviled by many conservatives.
Trump said it was simply business.
Ive supported Democrats and Ive supported Republicans, and as a businessman I
owed that to my company, to my family, to
my workers, to everybody to get along, he
said.
The bad blood among the candidates
flowed freely.
Rubio justified his attacks on Trump by
saying the billionaire businessman had
basically mocked everybody over the past
year. Trump countered with a feint, saying
hed called Rubio a lightweight in the past
but hes really not that much of a lightweight.
Trump then noted that Rubio had mocked
his hands as small, widely viewed as an
insult about Trumps sexual prowess.
Holding his hands up to the audience, Trump
declared, I guarantee you, theres no problem in that area.
It was a jaw-dropping moment in a campaign thats been full of surprises from the
beginning.
On policy, when moderator Megyn Kelly
told Trump his shifts caused some people to
question his core, Trump insisted: I have a
very strong core. I have a very strong core.
But Ive never seen a successful person who
wasnt flexible, who didnt have a certain
degree of flexibility.
Kasich sought to turn Trumps statement
on the value of flexibility into a character
question.

SALT LAKE CITY In an extraordinary

display of Republican chaos, the partys most
recent presidential nominees, Mitt Romney
and John McCain, lambasted current frontrunner Donald Trump on Thursday, calling
him unfit for office and a danger for the nation
and the GOP.
His is not the temperament of a stable,
thoughtful leader, Romney declared. He
called Trump a phony who is playing the
American public for suckers, a man whose
imagination must not be married to real
power.
Hours later, Trump lashed back, calling
Romney a choke artist who lost to Barack
Obama four years ago only because he was
such a poor candidate.
The vicious feud marked a near-unprecedented scenario pitting the Republican Partys
most prominent leaders, past and present,
against each other as Democrats begin to
unite around Hillary Clinton.
Underlying the clash is a bleak reality for
panicking Republican officials: Beyond

harsh words, there is little

they see to stop Trumps
march toward the presidential nomination. Party
leaders are poring over
complicated
delegate
math, outlining hazy scenarios for a contested
national convention and
Mitt Romney even flirting with the idea
of a third-party effort.
Romney confidant Ron
Kaufman, a senior member
of
the
Republican
National
Committee,
openly embraced the possibility of a contested convention: If thats the
only way to stop Trump, it
makes sense, he told the
John McCain Associated Press.
In the most notable verbal attacks against Trump to date, Romney
and his 2012 running mate, House Speaker
Paul Ryan, urged voters in the strongest terms
to shun the former reality television star for
the good of country and party.

Clinton email probe fraught

with political consequences
By Eric Tucker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Justice Department

will have to decide whether Hillary Clinton
or any of her subordinates could face legal
consequences for her use of a private email
server, a decision whose timing is fraught
with serious political repercussions.
Even though Attorney General Loretta
Lynch has said there is no artificial deadline for concluding the investigation, the
Obama administration is in the unenviable
position of conducting an election-year
probe that, no matter the outcome or reassurances to the contrary, will result in grievances about its impact on the presidential
election.
One year ago, the Associated Press reported its discovery of Clintons private email
server, which she ran in the basement of her
home in Chappaqua, New York, to use exclu-

sively for her work-related emails while she was

secretary
of
state.
Clinton has emerged
from the Super Tuesday
primaries earlier this
week as the presumptive
Democratic nominee for
the presidency.
Republican candidate
Hillary Clinton
Donald Trump has indicated he plans to target Clinton over the
email investigations. Trump said Thursday
he looked forward to running against
Clinton, assuming shes allowed to run,
assuming shes not arrested for the email
situation. He added, Lets assume the
Democrats will protect her.
The FBI for months has investigated
whether sensitive information that flowed
through Clintons email server was mishandled.

Two arrested for allegedly

attempting to contact minor for sex
Two San Mateo County men who allegedly solicited sexual contact with a 14-yearold girl over the Internet
have been arrested, San
Francisco police said
Thursday.
Police said they arrested Mark Berenstein, a
43-year-old San Mateo
resident, and Xi Yuan
Lin, a 39-year-old San
Carlos resident, on Feb.
Mark
25 following an investiBerenstein

District
Attorneys
Office and the FBI.
San Francisco police
said they became aware
of the two mens alleged
attempts to contact a
minor, which included
Xi Yuan Lin
the transmission of
graphic sexual images
and videos, in January.
They were taken into custody when they
allegedly attempted to meet with the minor
in person and were arrested on suspicion of
felony sending harmful material to a minor,
felony going to an arranged meeting with a
minor for sexual contact and misdemeanor
arranging a meeting with a minor for sexual contact, police said.

Woman gets two years for

stealing $35K from elderly woman
A caretaker for a 95-year-old San Carlos
woman was sentenced to two years in
prison for stealing more than $35,000
from her client last year, prosecutors said.
Ofa Atau Fifita, 33, could have received a
reduced sentence if she had paid significant
restitution to the victim, but when she
returned to court for sentencing Thursday
morning she had made no restitution, San
Mateo County District Attorney Steve

Local briefs
Wagstaffe said.
Because of that, San Mateo County
Superior Court Judge Mark Forcum sentenced her to the maximum two years in
prison agreed upon when she entered her no
contest plea in December, Wagstaffe said.
She has only eight days credit for time
served.
Fifita pleaded no contest to felony elder
fiscal abuse for stealing checks from the
woman in her care between Feb. 6, 2015,
and July 14 while she was an employee of a
home care assistance company, prosecutors said.
The victim noticed checks were missing
from her checkbook and reviewed her bank
statement, noticing that Fifita had forged
and cashed more than 30 of her checks,
prosecutors said. The woman called her
husband, who called the Sheriffs Office.
When confronted by a deputy, Fifita
admitted the thefts and said she took the
money because she had financial problems.
Prosecutors said she stole a total of
$35,300, the amount she still owes to the
victim in restitution.

Burglars smash sliding

glass doors to enter two homes
Burglars smashed a sliding glass door to
two homes in Millbrae and stole undisclosed items sometime between Wednesday
afternoon and Wednesday night, San Mateo
County sheriffs deputies said Thursday.
The first burglary occurred in the 1400
block of Gavilan Way in the Mills Estate
neighborhood. The second occurred nearby
on the 100 block of Conejo Drive, also in
the Mills Estate neighborhood, according
to sheriffs officials.
Both occurred sometime between 3 p.m.
and 10 p.m.
No one was home during either burglary.
No suspect information is available, sheriffs officials said.

motion sensors if they can afford to do so.

Even better would be a security system,
but a less expensive option is a motion
detection system that turns on lights and
sounds an alarm.
Zuno is also encouraging residents to get
to know their neighbors so residents can
identify suspicious people trying to blend
into the neighborhood. Both burglaries
may have occurred during daylight hours.
Anyone with information about the burglaries is being asked to call Detective
Victor Bertolozzi at (650) 259-2321 or get
in touch with him by email at vbertolozzi@smcgov.org. Anonymous callers
can call the sheriffs anonymous tip line at

Spare the Air season ends

with only one wood-burning ban
The Bay Area Winter Spare the Air season ended this week with only one woodburning ban issued during the entire season, according to the Bay Area Air Quality
Management District.
More frequent storm systems moving
through the region ventilated air pollution
much more compared to last years winter
season. In the 2014-15 season, 23 Spare
the Air alerts were issued.
The longest stretch without rainfall this
season was for 14 days in February. Last
year, there was a stretch of 56 days in
January and February with no rainfall, air
district officials said.

Boaters asked to
avoid migrating gray whales
Officials with the Greater Farallones
National Marine Sanctuary are asking
boaters to watch out for gray whales as they
migrate along the coast to the Arctic this
spring.
The whales travel close to shore, even
right outside the Golden Gate, and are susceptible to collisions with boats, sanctuary
spokeswoman Mary Jane Schramm said.
We need to give them their space for
their sake and for our own sake, Schramm
said.
A whale could inadvertently surface and
tip a small boat over in San Francisco Bay,
where the whales sometimes come for a day
or two.
Also, avoiding a boat can cost the whales

precious energy they need to migrate. Their

energy is mostly depleted from their winter
breeding in Mexican waters and theyve
had no appreciable time to eat since late
fall, Schramm said.
About 19,000 gray whales will migrate
through Bay Area waters from March to
May.

Babysitter arrested on
suspicion of abusing 13-month-old
LIVERMORE A 20-year-old babysitter
has been charged with felony child abuse in
Livermore, authorities
said Thursday.
Moriah
Pulani
Gonzales of Livermore
allegedly abused a 13month-old boy in her
care, Sgt. Steve Goard
told KNTV. The child
lived.
A hidden nanny camera
Moriah
caught her allegedly tryGonzales
ing to smother the child
who apparently wouldnt stop crying, the
station says court documents show.
Gonzales was not available for comment
Thursday. Jeff Chorney, a spokesman for
the Alameda County Public Defender, said
his office is not representing her. It was
not immediately known if she has hired a
private attorney.
Gonzales advertised her services on the
babysitting website Care.com. On its website, which calls itself as the largest
online destination for care, the company
says it is not responsible for the conduct
of any care provider or care seeker.
Care. com provides information and
tools to help care seekers and care
providers connect and make informed decisions, it said. The website issued a statement about the incident.
We are deeply troubled by this incident
and our thoughts are with the family, the
statement read. The safety of our community is of paramount importance to us and
we have proactively contacted local law
enforcement to provide whatever assistance we can in this matter.
Police started their investigation in early
February after receiving a report of the
alleged abuse.
The probe is ongoing.

An Inconvenient Truth: CSUS tax-exemption status

By Coralin Feierbach

s a former member of the

Belmont City Council, I heard
both sides of the issue: Should
Crystal Springs Uplands School, located
in Hillsborough, build a middle school in
Belmont, specifically on Davis Drive?
The public input was split. Initially I
voted against it, but while on the council
I continued working with CSUS to get a
better revenue package until the end of
my term in 2013.
There are obvious traffic considerations, especially on upper Ralston
Avenue. There is the contentious issue of
changing the zoning on Davis Drive from
exclusively Commercial-Office to mixed
zoning to accommodate CSUS. Then there
is the problem of its close proximity to
Ralston Middle School where students are
already being dropped off in the nearby
Davis Drives cul-de-sac.
Added to this, there is the charter
Design Tech High School campus for 550
students planned for the Oracle complex
located on the east end of Ralston
Avenue. Both CSUS middle school and
Design Tech High School target 2017 for
completion.
On the positive side, a school of such
stature and prestige could enhance
Belmonts reputation by its presence. It
could offer our Ralston Middle School
academic competition and encourage
improved staff training. CSUS has offered
their playing field for Belmont youth, and
could give Belmont youth a leg up in getting into the school assuming one had
$40,000 a year to budget for that purpose
(About 20 percent of students receive
some financial assistance each year).
However, there is one truth an ele-

phant in the room

that has not been discussed in any detail: the
loss of general tax revenue.
When an entity is designated tax-exempt, it
doesnt pay the general
tax. In fact, because it
has tax-exempt status
in Hillsborough, CSUS pays no general
tax and only $1,490 a year of special
taxes. If CSUS gets its tax-exempt status
for 6, 8 and 10 Davis Drive, it will pay no
general tax and pay only special taxes
(bonds, etc.).
Who wins: CSUS and the city of
Belmont. CSUS gets tax-exempt status
indefinitely and Belmont receives a $1
million one-time payment and $250,000
a year.
Who loses: Belmont-Redwood Shores
Elementary School District. Even though
CSUS promises $30,000 a year to School
Force, which will distribute that amount
to the Belmont-Redwood Shores
Elementary School District, there will be
a yearly deficit of $48,920 assuming the
full buildout of the CSUS (see chart
below).
The figures in the chart below are based
on an estimated total assessed value of
$40 million (after buildout). CSUS paid
$12 million for the Davis Drive property,
and the construction of a 60,000-squarefoot academic building, multi-purpose
room, gym, enclosed pool and all-weather
playing field will probably bring the
total investment to that figure.
CSUS has promised $250,000 a year
and a one-time payment of $1 million to
the city. However, the following are the

that will not receive their yearly fair

share of the CSUS property tax because of
CSUS tax-exempt status.
I wish to thank the San Mateo County
Controllers Office for supplying me the
percentage loss in the general tax.
In summary, this affects not only the
quality of life of our residents but the
funding of most of our local agencies.
Shouldnt the council let the voters decide
by placing a measure on the ballot?

Reopen Bridgepointe ice rink

Editor,
In regard to the ice rink at Bridgepointe,
I feel that it would be a major impact on all
youths and adults that use ice rinks in the
Bay Area. With the closing of the rink in
Belmont, there are now no rinks nearby
except for in Redwood City, which is
already overloaded so no one can get any
ice time. Please make sure our ice rink at

A cleaner
downtown

nn Fienman said shes not getting

as many complaints as she used to
when it comes to the cleanliness
of downtown San Mateo, and thats
progress.
The executive director of the Downtown
San Mateo Association has been working
hard with city ofcials to increase the
amount of cleaning being done in the city
to establish a strong baseline. On the job
since April of 2015, Fienman has hit the
ground running to make sure the two main
issues people tend to talk about parking
and litter are
taken care of.
Last month,
the city passed
a new parking
management
plan to charge
different rates
for different
lots and issuing parking
permits monthly rather than
quarterly. This
is also amid a
long-term
effort to identify a location for additional parking in
downtown to better serve both visitors and
workers. A revamp of the Central Parking
Garage also took place last year. Now, the
trick is to keep clean that garage, and other
garages, along with sidewalks.
Around the holidays, the city increased
its cleaning schedule from quarterly to
weekly and is concentrating its efforts on
hot spots, such as along B Street and Third
Avenue, and paying for the additional
cleaning through parking revenue, according to Assistant City Manager Matt
Bronson.
There was growing concern about the
cleanliness of downtown, Bronson said.
Count me in as one of those with growing concern. A trip downtown on a Sunday
morning this past summer was met with
broken bottles, vomit, errant and widespread boba tea balls and other assorted
trash. Not exactly a tiptoe through the
tulips. This came after a family venture to
the Inner Mission in San Francisco on a
Sunday morning where the streets were
clean and a man with a yellow vest was
seen sweeping up throughout the day. If the
Inner Mission can do it, I thought, then
why not downtown San Mateo?
Turns out there is no magic wand. It took
a bit of time and buy-in from both the
DSMA and the city to make it happen. Part
of the reason for the delay was that the former DSMA executive director had gotten
the ball rolling on taking on some responsibility for increasing cleaning and abruptly left in the middle of 2014.
But now that the cleaning schedule has
accelerated, Fienman said she has received
some positive comments and denitely
fewer complaints.
Its an ongoing thing. There is a baseline we are working on retaining with
focused attention on the near term to
achieve a higher plane than what has been.
Weve had progress on parking, so we are
tackling both foundational things, she
said.
Next up is an adopt-a-block program for
businesses to help keep the area tidy and
encourage others to do the same, along
with some more visible spot cleaning in
core areas such as the movie theater plaza.
That help may come through the citys
Worker Resource Center but details are still
being worked out, both Fienman and
Bronson said.
Were really trying to make cleaning a
priority and get everyone on board and
thats a partnership with the businesses,
the city and the DSMA, Fienman said.

Stocks up as energy companies keep rising

By Marley Jay

DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Stocks made

modest gains on Thursday as the
market once again turned higher
late in the day. Energy stocks led
the way as investors continued to
hope that oil prices have stabilized after almost two years of
steep declines.
For the second day in a row,
stocks opened with small losses
and gradually rose during the afternoon. Energy companies surged
and are now slightly higher for the
year. Industrial companies like
Caterpillar and Deere also rose.
Drugmakers led a decline in health
care stocks.
The Dow Jones industrial average gained 44.58 points, or 0.3
percent, to 16, 943. 90. The
Standard & Poors 500 index edged
up 6.95 points, or 0.4 percent, to
1,993.40. Tech stocks lagged, and
the Nasdaq composite index added
4 points, or 0. 1 percent, to
4,707.42.
Stocks have eked out small
gains over the last two days, aided
by steady oil prices and reports
showing the U.S. economy is on
solid footing. After a big jump on
Tuesday, and the market is on target for its third consecutive weekly gain.
The price of U.S. crude wavered
between small gains and losses,
finally closing down 9 cents at

international oils, added 14 cents

and Brent crude has erased its losses for the year.
ConocoPhillips rose $2.07, or

Southwestern Energy jumped
$1.13, or 18.2 percent, to $7.34.

J. J. Kinahan, chief market
strategist for TD Ameritrade, said
that after Tuesdays surge,
investors are being patient and
looking for good news about the
state of the economy. That could
come Friday morning, when the
government reports its latest
employment figures.

Kinahan said investors will be

looking for signs of growth in
better-paying jobs, possibly in
the manufacturing or health care
industries, as opposed to restaurants and hotels.
We know were not going to be
a manufacturing economy again,
he said, but investors hope to see
some growth in manufacturing
jobs instead of losses.

Apple, FBI stake out conflicting

iPhone positions before Congress
By Eric Tucker
and Tami Abdollah
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The U.S. government calls it a vicious guard

dog that hurts national security.
Apple says its critical to protecting consumer privacy against
increasingly sophisticated hackers.
As the debate over built-in
iPhone encryption has deadlocked
in the courts, law enforcement and
the worlds second-largest cellphone maker agreed on one point
Tuesday: Its now up to Congress

to set boundaries in a long-simmering fight over who can legally

access your digital life.
Were asking Apple to take the
vicious guard dog away and let us
pick the lock, FBI Director James
Comey told a House judiciary
panel Tuesday, referring to a
locked iPhone tied to the deadly
December shooting in San
Bernardino, California.
The FBI is asking Apple to
weaken the security of our products, Apple general counsel Bruce
Sewell countered later that afternoon.
Tuesdays hearing shifted attention from the courts where

judges in the last month have

issued significant but conflicting
opinions to Congress, where
both sides say the broader policy
debate belongs.
It also provided an extraordinary
public forum for the Obama administration and Apple Inc. to stake
out competing positions that
could have sweeping ramifications. Apples recent opposition
to bypassing security features for
the government has pushed that
dispute from tech circles into the
mainstream.
The strong positions articulated
Tuesday make clear the deep divide
between Silicon Valley and the

government, even as the administration advocates open dialogue

and resolution.
Is it the right thing to make our
society overall less safe in order
to solve crime? Sewell asked.
Thats the issue that were
wrestling with.
On Monday, a federal judge in
Brooklyn said the government
couldnt force Apple to help it
gain access to the phone in a drug
case. U.S. Magistrate Judge James
Orenstein said Justice Department
attorneys were relying on the centuries-old All Writs Act to to produce
impermissibly
absurd
results.

Amazon amplifies its Alexa line of voice-controlled devices

By Michael Liedtke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN
FRANCISCO

Amazon.com is introducing two

devices designed to amplify the
role its voice-controlled assistant
Alexa plays in peoples homes
and lives.
The products unveiled Thursday
are echoes of Amazons Echo, a
cylinder-shaped speaker with
Internet-connected microphones

that became Alexas first major

showcase when it debuted in late
2014. Set these gadgets up and
theyll listen for your voice and
respond to commands for
instance, to read the mornings
headlines.
Both new devices, called the
Amazon Tap and Echo Dot, cost
less than the $180 Echo and offer
slightly different features in an
attempt to plant Amazons
Internet-connected microphones

in more homes and other places.

In doing so, Amazon hopes to
outmaneuver rivals Google and
Apple in their battle to build hubs
in smart homes that are being
furnished with appliances, electronics and other accoutrements
that connect to the Internet.
Alexa is competing against
other voice-controlled services
such as Apples Siri, Microsofts
Cortana and Googles search
engine that are built into the oper-

ating systems of smartphones and

other devices that do more than
the Echo.
The interest in smart homes
appears to be rising as more people become enamored with their
smartphones. A recent online survey of more than 4,600 adults in
the U.S. by Forrester Researchs
Technographics found 57 percent
of them either had used or were
interested in using a smart home
device.

Drug distribution becomes weapon to block competition

By Matthew Perrone
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTO The same strategy that Martin Shkreli used to get

away with a 5,000-percent price
increase on an old drug is used by
many other drugmakers to maintain sky-high prices on billions
of dollars worth of medications.
Before the price hike that made

him infamous, the former CEO of

Turing Pharmaceuticals had to
ensure that no competitor would
be able to launch a cheaper version of Daraprim, the 60-year-old
anti-infection pill that is no
longer under patent.
Shkreli had the perfect weapon:
a tightly-controlled distribution
system which would make it virtually impossible for a competitor
to obtain enough Daraprim to

develop their own version.

Shkreli, who resigned in
December, did not invent the
closed distribution technique. And
his former company, Turing,
notes that Daraprim was already
distributed under such a system
when it acquired the drug.
Many larger drugmakers have
also turned drug distribution into a
powerful tool against competi-

tion. The strategy takes advantage

of a simple fact: If generic drugmakers cant get their hands on
the original product, they cannot
perform the tests needed to develop a generic version. Typically
generic drugmakers purchase drugs
in bulk from third-party suppliers.
But when the original drugmaker
controls the drugs distribution,
they can simply refuse to sell.

Stratasys rose $3.64, or 17.4 percent, to $24.53. The companys
fourth-quarter results were better
than expected and it gave a strong
forecast for 2016.
Supermarket operator Kroger
dropped $2.85, or 7 percent, to
$37.80 after investors were disappointed with its quarterly sales and
its forecasts.
Losses for biotech drug companies pulled health care stocks
lower. Cancer drugmaker Celgene
lost $2 to $102.73, and hepatitis
C drugmaker Gilead Sciences fell
97 cents to $87. 83. Alexion
Pharmaceuticals sank $5.74, or
3.8 percent, to $145.85.
The prices of gold, silver, and
copper each rose about 1 percent.
Gold rose $16.40 to $1,258.20 an
ounce and silver closed up 12
cents at $15.15 an ounce. Copper
advanced 3 cents to $2. 21 a

climbed almost 19 percent this
year, and silver has risen about 10
percent.

Germanys DAX each fell 0.3 percent. Frances CAC 40 declined
0.2 percent. Asian markets closed

HMB wrestler feels no ill effects after CCS championships

STAFF AND WIRE REPORT

Camacho said he has not consulted a

physician, but has no visible signs of the
virus.
I think Ill be fine, Camacho said.
Camacho did not travel with the Half
Moon Bay team to Bakersfield as he did not
qualify for the state championship. He finished in fourth place in the 220-pound division. In his match with Flovin, Camacho
was pinned in the first round.
Half Moon Bay has one wrestler competing in the state championships beginning
Friday, the CCS champion of the 120-pound
division Emilio Bautista. Cougars coach
Sam Temko said Bautista is focused on competing in the meet.

Hes pretty focused, Temko said. Hes

ready to go. His weight is pretty good right
now. . Hes in great shape and hes ready
to compete with the best in the state.
Temko said he was concerned for Camacho
when HMB was notified by CCS commissioner Duane Morgan earlier in the week
regarding Flovins condition. However,
Temko said the time that has passed since
the CCS championships has made him to
believe Camacho will be fine.
It has been almost two weeks, Temko
said. I think if he had contracted it, he
would have started seeing symptoms by

against a rival well, except winning an
opener against a rival.
Hillsdale baseball (2-2) did just that
Thursday afternoon, picking up its second
win of the season 6-5 over neighboring
Aragon (1-3). With the game deadlocked 2-2
in the fourth, the Knights rallied for one run
in the bottom of the frame then scored three
times in the fifth.
It felt good to break out today, especially
in a rivalry game, Hillsdale senior Joseph
Pinochi said. Its always good to beat them.
Hillsdale No. 3 hitter Ricky Urata had the
swing of the bat in the fourth to tip the scales.
With the bases loaded and one, the left-handed hitting senior made contact for an RBI
groundout to score Gabriel Estevez.
Then in the fifth, Pinochi came up clutch as
a pinch hitter with two on and no outs, lacing
an RBI double down the left-field line. Ryan
Wetteland followed with an RBI single and
Arjun Mahanty capped the rally with a sacrifice fly.
Pinochis double came in a two-strike count
after the senior fouled off two bunt attempts.
But he got the fastball he was looking for on
the following pitch to go from goat to hero
with one swing of the bat.
I was disappointed in myself at first for not
getting those two bunts down, Pinochi said.
But I was happy I sat on the fastball and was
able to do something with it.
Hillsdale reliever Trevor Bettis earned the
win in relief, working one inning after starting pitcher Jaxon Skidmore departed in the
fourth.
Skidmore battled bouts of wildness all afternoon, surrendering four walks, but he took a
no-hitter into the fourth inning. He yielded
one run in the first inning; after walking the
bases loaded, Aragons Jordan Tong delivered

bring that atmosphere every night to give
us the ultimate home-court advantage.
Five days after tying the NBA record with
12 3-pointers in an overtime win at

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Jake Peavy

allowed six runs and nine hits, including a
two-run homer to Chris Carter, over 1 2/3
innings in the San Francisco Giants 8-7
loss to a Milwaukee Brewers split squad on
Thursday.
It was a good workout but I didnt hit my
locations, Peavy said. Results wise, I
dont think it gets any worse than that.
Andrew Susac homered and drove in four
runs for the Giants. Kyle Blanks also
homered for San Francisco.
Eric Young Jr. led off each of the first two
innings with a single and scored twice for
the Brewers.
Shane Peterson drove in a pair of runs and
Aaron Hill added an RBI double for
Milwaukee.
Carters home run put the Brewers up, 40.
Thats all I try to do in spring; put the

Peavy kept throwing his fastball despite
poor results. He said there was no reason to use
anything else until he could find his command.
Thats everything, Peavy said. All my
other pitches work off the fastball. I want

to keep throwing it and get that honed in. I

tried to throw it where it was supposed to be
but it got more of the plate than it needed at
this point in time.
Peavy did not hold back the second time
facing Carter, whom he struck out with a 32 slider.
It was my last pitch and I tried to salvage
something, Peavy said. It was my best pitch

Donovan blasts Franklin still intends to shine in Rio

walk-off homer
for CSM softball
By Paul Newberry

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

The College of San Mateo softball team

(20-2) is closing in on 50 straight wins at
home, scoring its 48th in a row in dramatic
fashion Thursday against San Joaquin Delta
(10-5).
Sophomore slugger Harlee Donovan belted a walk-off home run in the bottom of the
seventh to send the Lady Bulldogs ranked
No. 1 in the state to a 4-2 win. Donovan
now has seven homers and 28 RBIs on the
year, ranking her second in the state in both
categories. Last season, she won the state
home run crown with 20.
Trailing 2-0 in the fourth, CSM scored
single runs in the fourth and the sixth to tie
it. Samantha Dean homered in the fourth to
close Deltas lead to 2-1. In the sixth,
Ariana Garcia produced a sacrifice fly to
score Dean with the tying run.
Christy Peterson earned the win in relief,
improving her record to 5-1. Dean was
CSMs starter, allowing two runs on four
hits over four innings. Peterson closed it
out with three hitless, shutout frames.
CSM freshman Meagan Wells went 0 for
3, but still leads the state with 34 hits.

ORLANDO, Fla. Get this: There are

times when Missy Franklin is frustrated.
OK, its not as if shes suddenly turned all
cranky and rude. The Olympic champion
still walks around the pool with a perpetual
smile. But subpar performances over the
past year have started to get under her skin a
bit.
With the Rio Games just five months
away, she knows its time to start producing.
I definitely dont want to come off like
everything is happy all the time, she said
before this weekends Arena Pro Series meet
in Orlando, not far from the make-believe
world of Disney. When I come back from
some of these meets, I am for sure frustrated.
At 17, Franklin was one of the biggest
stars at the London Olympics, competing in
seven events and winning four gold medals
and a bronze. Away from the pool, her bubbly personality only enhanced her appeal,
though she didnt cash in right away since
she wanted to compete collegiately.
After two years at Cal, Franklin finally
turned pro last year, setting up some major
endorsement deals heading into Rio (shes
already landed with Speedo and Minute
Maid). But, while she has a lot more money
in her pocket, its been a struggle to regain
the form that made her the worlds most

dominant female swimmer a title ceded to
fellow American Katie Ledecky.
At the 2015 world championships,
Franklin failed to win any of her four individual events, settling for a silver and two

Austin, Texas, in January, she again failed
to win any individual events and, tellingly,
trailed far behind Ledecky in the 100- and
200-meter freestyles.

I left there being really frustrated, said

Franklin, insisting she did some of her
hardest training before the meet. Why is
this not coming through? Why is this not

straight, while Kaleb Tarczewski added 10
points and 12 rebounds.
Ivan Rabb had 15 points and 13 rebounds
for Cal. Jabari Bird added 13 points and
Jordan Mathews had 12 for the Bears, who
seemed headed for their eighth straight win
after an Arizona turnover led to Tyrone
Wallaces layup that put Cal ahead 61-53
with 1:52 to play.
The Bears, who beat Arizona in Berkeley
earlier this season, never scored again.
Its a really tough loss for our guys, Cal
coach Cuonzo Martin said, but I think we
did a really good job down the stretch to do
the things that we needed to do to win the
game.
Except to guard York closely outside the
3-point line. He made three 3s in the final
2:36.
It was a poor job on our part chasing him
off the screen, Martin said. We have to get
him off the line. If anything, make him
drive the ball, but he cant catch and shoot a
3-pointer.

Arizona St. dominates Cardinal

By Bob Baum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TUCSON, Ariz. Gabe York has been in

a lot of big games for Arizona, and the senior guard ranks Thursday nights win over
California his best.
York made two 3-pointers in the final
minute, the last to give his team the lead
with 19 seconds to play, and the 18thranked Wildcats scored the final 11 points
of the game to beat the 25th-ranked Bears
64-61.
Arizona coach Sean Miller called it one
of the great finishes that Ive been a part
of.
And York was at the center of it.
After poor performances in Arizonas
losses at Colorado and Utah, he scored all
19 of his points in the second half as the
Wildcats (23-7, 11-6) moved into a tie for
third place with Cal (21-9, 11-6) in the Pac12, although the Bears still hold the
tiebreaker for seeding in the conference
tournament.

Im not someone whos always about

myself, but for me, this would probably be
No. 1, York said, a very hostile team that
we lost to last time and I missed the gamewinning shot, so I had a little chip on my
shoulder coming into this game.
York was also motivated by his play last
week.
As a shooter and scorer and whatever Ive
been labeled as, York said, Ive been in
the gym for countless hours every day after
the Utah and Colorado losses, when I played
so poorly. I couldnt get it done for my
team.
Miller talked about the perception that
York has not been good in these clutch situations.
The different people saying that at the
end of the game Gabe hasnt necessarily
come through, that maybe you need to give
the ball to somebody else, et cetera, Miller
said. He looked pretty good at the end of
the game tonight, and hes done it more
times than you realize.
Ryan Anderson had 18 points and 10

TEMPE, Ariz. Savon Goodman had 16

points, Eric Jacobsen added 13 and Arizona
State used a dominant performance on the
offensive glass to beat Stanford mens basketball 74-61 Thursday night.
Coming off a rough week, Arizona State
(15-15, 5-12 Pac-12) shook off a shaky start
to overwhelm the Cardinal by crashing the
boards. The Sun Devils had 15 offensive
rebounds that led to a 16-0 advantage in second-chance points and finished with 11
more rebounds overall.
Obinna Oleka had nine rebounds, while
Goodman and Jacobsen grabbed seven each.
Stanford (15-13, 8-9) fell into a 15-point
hole after a turnover-filled first half and
remained out of reach until late thanks to
Arizona States offensive rebounding. The
Cardinal hit a few late 3-pointers and began
fouling, but Arizona State made its free
throws down the stretch to hold them off.
Dorian Pickens scored 19 points, Michael
Humphry added 15 and Rosco Allen 14 for
Stanford.

the help of a 3-pointer by
Marreese Speights and strong play
from Livingston to take a sixpoint lead.

Speights is 4 for 4 from 3-point
range the past two games after
making just eight 3s coming into
March. ... Curry won the Western
Conference player of the month
award for February, becoming the
first Warriors player to win the
award twice in one season. He also
won in November.

Weve definitely got to get it

under control, Durant said. Im
not happy with the way were
playing. Obviously we want to
win, but this is where you see what
youre made of.
Klay Thompson scored 21 for
the
Warriors,
and
Shaun
Livingston provided 11 points,
eight assists and tough defense on
Durant off the bench.
The Warriors trailed 80-71 midway through the third quarter
before racing past a Thunder team
playing the back half of a back-toback. Golden State cut the deficit
to one after three quarters and then
took over in the fourth.
With four starters on the bench

bench, Livingston said. They
have a good team. But we have a
deeper team. We try to come in and
all do our parts and do our jobs and
hopefully overwhelm them over a
48-minute game.

Golden State extended the lead

once the starters returned, going
up 106-97 on Currys three-point
play with just more than 4 minutes
left. Andrew Bogut then stole the
ball from Durant, leading to a dunk
by Thompson that gave the
Warriors a 12-point lead.

Rock star Prince walked in just

before the start of the game to sit
next to Warriors owner Joe Lacob
courtside. Prince is playing a concert at the arena Friday and took
the chance to watch Golden State
in person.

Curry, who missed Tuesday

nights overtime victory against
Atlanta with an injured left ankle,
added two late 3s to seal it.

It was pretty special, Curry

which led the Knights to the
Peninsula Athletic League Ocean
Division title. Hillsdale went twoand-out in the Tim Tamone

Washington Park to start the year
a tourney they won last season
falling to powerhouses Live Oak

While Hillsdale scored just four
runs in the tournament, Madison is
confident the offense will come.

Flovins father, Rick Flovin,
also a wrestling coach, says hiding the disease is widespread
because scholarships are at stake.
He says he helped launch some
of the strictest hygiene standards
in the sport, including requiring
wrestlers to step in a pan of disinfectant before they hit the mat.
That safety measure was not in
place at Independence High, he
said.
Officials with the California
Interscholastic Federation, which
governs all high school sports,

said Wednesday that high schools

are required to follow national
safety standards.
Weve had many times where

I think most athletes are really

VANCOUVER,
British
Columbia Patrick Marleau
scored the go-ahead goal in the
third period and the San Jose
Sharks won their third straight,
beating the Vancouver Canucks 32 on Thursday night.
Brent Burns and Tomas Hertl had
a goal and an assist each for the

When you throw gasoline on an

Youve got to use that as fuel on

about it too much, but you know
what, there are some key times
where Ive got to look at her and
go, Hey.
Hell even bring up the London

well.
She missed a bronze medal in

missed 12 games with groin and
Achilles tendon injuries.
The 29-year old spent time on
the practice squad before rising to
lead the NFL in rushing with 1,616
yards in 2010.
Foster ran for 1,246 yards in
2014 for the fourth 1,000-yard
rushing season of his career.
He leaves Houston with a franchise-record 6,472 yards rushing
and was also a threat out of the
backfield, grabbing 249 receptions for 2,268 yards in his career.
Foster, who went undrafted out of
Tennessee before signing with the
Texans in 2009, started on
Houstons practice squad before
being elevated to the roster for the
last six games of that season.
After his spectacular 2010 season, where he led the NFL in rushing and also in yards from scrimmage with 2,220, he ran for 1,224
yards in 13 games in 2011, helping Houston to its first playoff
berth. The Texans rewarded his
work that offseason when they
signed him to a five-year, $43.5
million contract.
Foster is recovering from surgery to repair his torn Achilles
tendon and has said that he plans
to play this season.

U.N. envoy says Syria

cease-fire is holding
despite some fighting
By Jamey Keaten
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GENEVA A U.S.-Russia-brokered cease-fire in Syria, now in its

sixth day, is largely holding
despite sporadic clashes in some
areas, a U.N. envoy said Thursday,
raising expectations ahead of next
weeks planned resumption of
Geneva peace talks.
Staffan de Mistura spoke as he
convened a group monitoring the
truce amid hopes of a breakthrough
that could pave the way for regular
humanitarian aid deliveries to
remote and besieged areas that
have been cut off by the fighting.
It was the third meeting of the
task force of the International
Syria Support Group, made up of
world and regional powers under
U.S. and Russian leadership,
which is monitoring the cessation of hostilities that began on
Saturday.
De Mistura said the cease-fire
has greatly reduced violence in
Syria and laid out hopes of resuming peace talks between Syrian
sides in the conflict. The talks
were called off last month after a
spike in fighting.

In general, the cessation has

been holding, he said, speaking
alongside his humanitarian aid
adviser
Jan
Egeland.
Unfortunately, we have to admit
. . . there are still a number of
places where fighting has continued, though it has been contained.
The situation is fragile, success
is not guaranteed, but progress has
been visible, the envoy concluded.
The cease-fire has become the
most promising initiative in years
to help end a five-war that has
killed at least 250,000 people,
driven millions of Syrians to flee
the country, and given an opening
to militants such as the extremist
Islamic State group and the Nusra
Front, as Syrias al-Qaida branch is
known, to seize large swaths of
land.
The two militant factions and
other extremist groups designated
terrorist organizations by the
United Nations are not included in
the diplomatic initiatives.

diplomat who has become U.N.
chief Ban Ki-moons point man on
Syria, appeared to ease back from a

Meanwhile, Egeland said there

trucks have served 115,000 people, he said.
But he also warned of snags in

Zootopia wildly entertaining

By Michael Rechthaffen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Just when it

was looking like animated animal
movies had run out of anything
original to say, along comes the
smartly amusing, crisply relevant
Zootopia to handily demonstrate theres still plenty of bite
left in the anthropomorphic CG
menagerie.
Boasting a pitch perfect voice
cast led by a terrific Ginnifer
Goodwin as a righteous rural rab-

bit who becomes the first cottontailed police recruit in the mammal-centric city of Zootopia,
the 3-D caper expertly combines
keen wit with a gentle, and very
timely, message of inclusivity and
empowerment.
The engaging result should easily appeal to all creatures great and
small, giving this premium Walt
Disney Animation Studios effort a
paw up on spring break entertainment, not to mention the summer
arrival of Universals animated
The Secret Life of Pets.

As the Zootopia Police

Departments sole bunny officer,
idealistic Judy Hopps (Goodwin)
discovers that breaking barriers
can be an uphill climb, especially
when the other cops in the force
are mainly of the more imposing
elephant/rhino/hippo ilk.
Although intrepid Judy cant
wait to collar her first perp, Bogo
(Idris Elba), Precinct 1s gruff cape
buffalo police chief, has other
plans, assigning her to parking
duty, where she proves her worth
by writing 200 tickets before

noon on her first day.

But when a number of
Zootopias residents abruptly
go missing, Bogo gives Judy the
green light to do some big time
police work and she finds herself
partnering up with Nick Wilde
(Jason Bateman), a sly, worldweary scam artist of a fox, in a 48hour bid to crack the case.
Nimbly directed by Byron
Howard (Tangled, Bolt) and
Rich Moore (Wreck-It Ralph),
along with co-director Jared Bush,
who shares screenplay credit with

Phil Johnston, the romp serves up

plenty of sharply observed satire
(a DMV manned entirely by sloths
is played to hilariously protracted
effect) wrapped up in judicious life
lessons that never feel preachy or
shoehorned-in.
While Goodwin and Bateman are
a voice-casting dream team come
true as a dysfunctional duo who
learn to follow their instincts over
preconceived notions, theyre
joined by a nicely diverse supporting ensemble that also includes

Food fight! Competition grows

to bring you dinner in the mail
By Joseph Pisani
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Meal-kit companies have

exploded in the past four years, shipping
boxes of raw meat, seafood, fresh vegetables and other ingredients to busy city folk
who want to skip the supermarket and still
cook at home.
Now they want to tempt even more people
to give them a try.
But the companies face several challenges as they grow. They need to hold onto
customers they already have, figure out how
to ship uncooked food further outside of
cities and continue luring funds from
increasingly tight-fisted investors. The
industry is growing quickly in the U.S.,
after first gaining popularity in Europe, and
competition is heating up as more players
join the fray.
Because of that, meal kit companies are
doing all they can to stand out. Blue Apron
started to ship wine last year to pair with its
meals. HelloFresh began airing TV commercials in November featuring celebrity
chef Jamie Oliver. Gobble promises that its
meals can be cooked in one pan within 15
minutes. And Purple Carrot, which ships
vegan meals, brought on cookbook author
Mark Bittman to come up with recipes like
tofu fries and onion-stuffed crepes.
Even Martha Stewart wants in. The CEO
of Sequential Brands, the brand management company that bought Martha Stewart
Living last year, said in December that the
company is considering a meal kit by the
home goods mogul that would be similar to
the Blue Apron model.
Meal kits are shipped to peoples

doorsteps, and the raw ingredients come in
an insulated cardboard box. Customers then
cook the meals using included step-by-step
recipes. Each kit comes with enough food to
make several meals, which average about
$10 each. Subscribers can get a new box
every week.

Meals in a box: Are they worth it?

By Bree Fowler
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK If youve got a family

especially one with young kids then you
know putting together healthy meals every
night can take more planning and preparation than you have time and energy.
Could a subscription service that delivers
kits of pre-measured ingredients and recipes
be a cost-effective and healthy solution?
To find out, I spent a month cooking
meals created by some of the biggest players in the industry: Blue Apron, Plated,
Purple Carrot, Hello Fresh and Marley
Spoon. Their taste, value and customer service varied. And ultimately the question of
whether these kits might work for you
depends a lot on whether youre a picky
eater and how much you value time.
Each of my boxes contained three dinners
for two. My husband and I tested out the
services, since my kids typically eat well
before he gets home anyway.
Heres what I found. You can find mini
reviews of all four services at
http://apne.ws/1oTaYIJ.

ARE THEY AFFORDABLE?

At about $10 per meal, per person, the
services cost more than groceries, but probably less than takeout or a restaurant meal,
depending on where you live. I didnt save
money.
The meal kits dont yield leftovers, so
that meant buying groceries for sack lunches or picking up takeout. Factoring out the
substantial first-week discounts the companies all offer, my familys weekly food
budget grew by roughly 60 percent to cover
the additional costs.

DO THEY SAVE TIME?

Yes, though not in the kitchen. Im no
slouch at the stove, but all the meals I made
still took longer to prepare than the kit
recipes said. I did, though, save time on gro-

cery trips. And the boxes minimized what I

needed to pick up and schlep back on the
shopping excursions I couldnt avoid.
Another time-saver: You dont really have
to decide what youre having that night until
just before dinner time. (Though you should
probably make seafood dishes sooner rather
than later.) And you can try out new dishes
and flavors without having to make the trek
to a specialty food store.
Not having to lug bags home on the subway, then drag them up a few flights of
stairs, was also enticing. Suburbanites with
SUVs may not feel the same way.
Knowing that everything you need to
make dinner is waiting for you at home is a
stress reducer, but the boxes arent foolproof. A rock-hard avocado in a Hello Fresh
shrimp recipe resulted in a last minute trip
to the store for a replacement.

ARE THEY HEALTHY?

It depends. All the companies provide
calorie counts; most of the meals come in
between 500 and 700 calories. After that, it
can get a little hazy.
In particular, Blue Apron fudges the numbers, labeling some of its meals for two as
actually serving three. A dinner of Italian
beef sandwiches with cheese sauce and potato wedges was listed at 590 calories per
serving. The kit made two sandwiches, but
said it served three people. My husband and
I polished off the whole thing by ourselves,
consuming a whopping 885 calories each in
the process.
Blue Apron said the extra portion was a
result of large rolls that a supplier provided
for the dish, adding that the majority of its
meals do serve two people.
Some of the ingredients left a bit to be
desired as well. While Plated boasted wild
Pacific salmon, and Blue Apron supplied
shrimp from the Gulf of Mexico, Hello
Freshs shrimp came all the way from India.
Marley Spoon takes its focus on ingredients

See WORTH, Page 20

People around the world spent $1.5 billion on these kits last year, with less than
half of that coming from the U.S., according to the Technomic research group. It was
the first time the company measured spending on meal kits.
The market in the U.S. is expected to

grow faster than in any other country in the

next five years, to as much as $6 billion by
2020, Technomic says.
We dont know how the market will
shake out in five years, but theres going to

Hello Fresh dish also used hoisin sauce, but

it came in little takeout packets with the
ingredients printed on them. It included artificial food coloring, something I try to
avoid.

Its worth noting that all the other companies offer plenty of vegetarian options.
And Hello Fresh offers a vegetarian subscription thats a little cheaper than their
regular one.

a step further by including products from

high-end suppliers familiar to foodies.
But others included mystery ingredients.
A Blue Apron kit came with a container of
chicken demi-glace and a bag of biscuit
mix, but didnt list any ingredients on the
containers or on the companys website.
Blue Apron said it provides customers with
ingredient lists on request, but doesnt list
them on its website, because they can vary
by region.
Plateds fancy salmon dish included
hoisin sauce, but didnt say what was in it. A

SO HOW DO THEY TASTE?

I found the Blue Apron dishes I tried a bit

simplistic and bland, prompting memories
of lunch ladies in hair nets. Plated gives you
the option of paying a little extra for more
upscale food. A wild Pacific salmon dish was
worth the extra $12 I paid on top of the
companys regular $72 weekly price. But
with its high-end ingredients, Marley
Spoon offers much of the same quality for a
fraction of the price.

To help fund their expansions, the companies also depend on investor cash, which has
showed signs of tightening. Venture capitalists raised $28.2 billion last year from
clients to invest in startups across all industries, down 9.5 percent from the year before,
according to the National Venture Capital
Association.

be some big winners and there will be some
folks that wont make it, says Erik
Thoresen, a principal at Technomic.
Holding on to customers may prove to be
particularly challenging. Jumping from one
meal kit service to the next is tempting since
many offer free meals or heavily discounted
boxes for new subscribers, says Thoresen.

DISNEY

Healthiness aside, some meals were really

great, while others reminded me of the hot
lunches I ate in elementary school.
Meals from Purple Carrot, which are
exclusively vegan, may or may not be up
your alley. Some were great, all were time
consuming and, unlike with the other companies, there wasnt an option to choose
dishes from a list. Youre stuck with the
three dishes Purple Carrot schedules for a
given week.

Shipping raw food isnt easy, either.

Currently, many customers live in cities,
where its easier to get boxes delivered, says

fancy as those from Plated or Marley
Spoon.

SO WHATS THE BOTTOM LINE?

These services are worth a try. All of the
companies I tried offer generous first-week
promotions. But if you think you might
drop them after that, go online and skip
your next few deliveries while you make up
your mind. Cancellations take time to
process and people have gotten stuck paying for boxes they didnt want because they
didnt cancel them fast enough.
Whether something like this could be
worth it boils down to what your time is
worth. Cutting back on last-minute grocery
trips is nice, but is it worth $60 to $72 a
week?
It literally comes to the door, Keith
Robinson says. Everything is right there;
the little baggies of seasoning and spices,
the meat, all the vegetables.

Keith and Sharon Robinson in Evanston,

Illinois, began using meal kits from Blue
Apron and Plated about two years ago after
finding discounts at daily deals websites
Groupon and Gilt City. The kits let the high
school vice principal and his pediatrician
wife cook healthy meals for their two daughters without having to shop at the grocery
store.

businesses to get the attention of potential

PORTOLA ART GALLERY IN

MENLO PARK INVITES YOU TO TAKE
A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE. The
Portola Art Gallery presents A Walk on the
Wild Side, a collection of wildlife and landscape photography images by Larry Calof
of Atherton. The exhibit features images
printed on aluminum, as well as pieces
printed on traditional archival paper. After a
30-year career in corporate and securities
law, Calof rediscovered his passion for photography. He said: I love using natural
light and high-quality digital equipment to
capture wildlife and landscape images in distinct manners that illuminate their unique
characteristics. In my wildlife photography, I try to find an emotional connection
with my subjects. In my landscape photography, I look for light and angles to add
magical or mystical perspectives to my
images. Calof has exhibited and received
awards at various local juried art shows,
including Filoli, Pacific Art League and the
California Land Trust Gallery. He was the
grand prize winner in Cowboys & Indians
magazines national photography contest
in 2006, and his images have been published in the magazine in many of the following years, including the 2015 photo
contest. A reception for the artist will be

HARTMAN:
AERIAL

VISIONS, PRESENTED BY THE WIEGAND GALLERY AT NOTRE DAME

DE NAMUR UNIVERSITY IN BELMONT. From March 23 through April 24,
The Wiegand Gallery presents Robert
Hartman: Aerial Visions. Hartmans 30
years as a professor of art at UC Berkeley
and his numerous exhibitions at Triangle
Gallery cemented his reputation as one of
the leading artists in the San Francisco Bay
Area. Originally known for his abstract
paintings, Hartman (1926-2015) began
combining his passion for flying with his
interest in photography. The show includes
22 Ilfochrome (also commonly known as
Cibachrome) photographic prints that are
one of a kind. Hartmans photos are of the
land, mostly around the Bay Area, which he
took from the open window of his canvas
covered 1949 Piper Clipper. By tipping the
wings vertically he was able to take aerial
views straight down out of the open window
of his plane. This stunt maneuver eliminated the horizon line and produced nearly
abstract images. Zipping along at over 100
mph, Hartman was able to discern the formal design of landforms. Wiegand Gallery
is located at 1500 Ralston Ave. in Belmont.
Admission is free. Regular gallery hours are
noon to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
The public is invited to the opening reception 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, April 3. The
building was built as a carriage house on the
site of the country estate of the 19th century financier William Chapman Ralston. The
upper story, where the Gallery and small
theater are located, originally served as a
harness room, grain section and hayloft.

NOISE
Continued from page 1
The board will hold a study session
Tuesday to discuss both voluntary and
possibly mandatory solutions to the
problem.
A great number of flights into the
airport rely on a narrow route that
brings charter and other flights directly over homes in East Palo Alto,
Atherton, North Fair Oaks and
Redwood City.
The county formed an Airport Noise
Working Group in 2013 headed by
supervisors Don Horsley and Warren
Slocum that met nine times over two
years. It developed a series of noise
reduction procedures including a voluntary curfew on some flights during
certain night and early morning hours,
higher altitude approaches and the
implementation of an automated noise
complaint reporting system.
The county, however, cannot require
compliance and can do little or nothing to force operations to comply with
the measures, according to Porters
report.
At Tuesdays study session, the
b o ard wi l l co n s i der man dat o ry
measures such as time of day restrictions, a nighttime curfew, implementing a reservation/slot system
for arrivals, implementing the number of flights by carrier and restric-

beating their victim into a coma which
lasted nine months.
He called his attackers bullies who
hurt him as well as his family, and
indicated, though he is on the road to
physical recovery, the emotional harm
they inflicted still lingers.
How could they do something like
this? I was just there to catch a game,
he said.
Stow, 47, has endured an extensive
rehabilitation process from being left
unable to eat or walk without assistance, but still relies heavily on the
daily aid of his parents and caregivers
to accomplish basic functions.
Brandy Dickinson, Stows speech
pathologist, helped him through the
presentation before students.
She said public events such as the
lecture are helpful in developing
Stows cognitive abilities, as he is
challenged to process information
quickly and react to unfamiliar environments.

tions on helicopters.
New voluntary proposals include
increasing hours of voluntary curfew,
requesting higher altitude approaches
and researching other airports best
practices.
In Atherton, residents have complained for years about increased noise
from Surf Air flights coming into the
airport.
In just a few years, the membersonly airline has increased its number
of flights from three to 30 a day.
But
the
Federal
Aviation
Administration sets the routes, flight
paths and altitude planes must fly at

Airport.
The airport has about 363 takeoffs
and landings a day, according to
Porters report.
On Sept. 11, a letter from the
Atherton City Council to the
The speech in San Mateo marked the
second public speaking appearance
Stow has made at a high school, and
the 12th hes done during the tour
designed to promote the Bryan Stow
Foundation.
The former paramedic and father of
two said he wants to share his experience in as many venues as possible,
with hopes he can help stop another
attack occurring to someone else.
I can still work and save lives, he
said. I want to tell my story around
the globe. It didnt have to be this
way.
Students followed a pledge led by
Stow espousing their willingness to
treat people with respect, kindness and
compassion, not bully others and
intervene when they witness someone
being mistreated.
I will take action, I am a lifesaver,
said students, in unison as part of the
pledge.
The presentation resonated with
many of those in attendance.
Kyle Neil, a sophomore at the
school, said he agreed with Stows
message of tolerance.
Ive seen bullying before, and I
think it needs to stop, he said.

City/County
Association
of
Governments of San Mateo County
blasted local officials for not addressing the noise from Surf Air.
The town has ... petitioned, pleaded
and implored the Federal Aviation
Administration, the San Mateo County
Board of Supervisors, San Carlos
Airport Operations and aviation carriers themselves (Surf Air) to address a
devastating disconnect between the
San Carlos Airport Operations and the
health, safety and welfare of the
impacted communities, the letter
states.
C/CAG released a draft Airport Land
Use Compatibility Plan in September
for the airport for public comment.
The plan may affect the airports operations.
The letter from Atherton continues:
These pleas have been largely
ignored as the overflights by Surf Air
have not only become noisier but have
increased in frequency. By failing to
address these growing concerns, the
Airport Land Use Commission, the
county, San Carlos Airport Operations
and the FAA have been derelict in their
duty of protecting that health, safety
and welfare instead placing the expansion desires of commercial aviation
ahead of the protection of its communities. This is unacceptable and must
be remedied.
The Board of Superv isors study session is 9 a.m., Tuesday, March 8, 400
County Center, Redwood City.
Though he had not heard of Stow
before the speech, Neil said he was
inspired by his words.
Its a great thing he found a way to
make a positive out of it, Neil said.
Freshman Quincy Sherman echoed
those sentiments.
I think hes an inspirational guy,
Sherman said. It makes me happy hes
having fun talking to us. Hes someone I look up to. Hes a cool guy.
After the speech, Stow met with
some of the students in the audience,
which he said was fulfilling.
It felt really good for me to hear
comments from the kids, he said.
Stow was invited to speak by his
cousin Rebecca Bucher, who is a counselor at the school.
Bucher said she appreciated the
opportunity to share with the school
community her family members journey.
I know how amazing he is, she
said. Its great to see the students get
to see that too.
Inspired by the reaction he received,
Stow said he would continue to push on
toward full rehabilitation.
Ill be walking the next time I come
here, he said.

tracts by the end of the year for the final
design and construction phases which
requires a substantial portion of its funding in
hand.
If high-speed rail bonds arent sold or the
authority doesnt come up with most of the
$705 million its required to support the Bay
Area project in the near future, an electrified
Caltrain touted to support increasing ridership by 2020 could be delayed.
But Caltrain remains hopeful having
received encouragement from state and federal
officials to support the massive project that
could transform public transportation in one
of the nations busiest economies.
Were still very optimistic that it wont
have an impact in terms of the timeline.
Were working closely with our partners at
high-speed rail and the state to look at additional funding mechanisms that will help
them to meet their commitment to the electrification project. But we dont have a final
decision right now as to how theyre going to
proceed, said Caltrain spokeswoman Jayme
Ackemann. We need to have funding, an
infusion of funding, in order to proceed.
Theres no question that this is a critical project for this area.
Lisa Marie Alley, spokeswoman with the
High-Speed Rail Authority, said the agency
has long anticipated waiting until it resolves
pending litigation and noted the authority

TAX
Continued from page 1
The HOME Act recognizes that millions of
middle-class homeowners are struggling to
keep up with rising household expenses like
child care, college tuition, health care, mortgage and community assessments. The
HOME Act can go a long way by providing
relief from this tax burden on millions of middle class families, Eshoo wrote in a state-

Caltrain became intertwined with highspeed rail after agreeing to a blended system

whereby the two agencies would share the

tracks from San Jose to San Francisco.
Codified by two pieces of legislation, the
2012 Senate Bill 1029 and the 2013 Senate
Bill 557, $600 million of high-speed rail
funds are supposed to be used to electrify
Caltrain by 2019.
It could be a blow to Caltrains timetable,
but one Hartnett and Ackemann are hopeful
the transit agency will quickly recover from
after receiving support from other state and
federal officials.
Californias
State
Secretary
of
Transportation Brian Kelly, the Metropolitan
Transportation Commission and officials
with the federal government have all stepped
up offering support for Caltrains plans to
accommodate an astronomical growth in ridership, according to Hartnett.
Representatives from the federal government have agreed to allocate $73 million in
unused and already appropriated funds to the
Bay Area project. Theres also a line item in
President Barack Obamas proposed budget
earmarking $150 million to Caltrain electrification, yet those funds must still be
approved by Congress, said Hartnett and
Ackemann.
Another option being floated is having
high-speed rail issue some of its cap-andtrade funds to help cover Caltrains needs
while it awaits the issuance of bonds,
Ackemann said.
Faced with ongoing litigation, Alley could
not confirm when it might be able to proceed
with bond sales; but its proposed business
plan is an important step in bringing
Californias bullet train to fruition.

ment. There are a total of 1,001 homeowner

associations in San Mateo County alone
totaling 79,000 housing units, according to
Eshoos office.
In Santa Clara County, there are a total of
2,371 of the associations totaling 162,000
units and in Santa Cruz County there are 584
of the associations totaling 22,000 units,
according to Eshoos office.
Community associations, which include
condominium associations, homeowner
associations and housing cooperatives, have
grown substantially in recent decades and
offer affordable housing opportunities in

communities across the United States,

according to Eshoos office.
Today, more than 65 million Americans
reside in 26 million housing units belonging
to a community association.
In California, more than 8.6 million residents live in community associations,
including more than 1.5 million over the age
of 55. Its estimated that nearly half of all
housing built in the Bay Area over the last
decade was part of a community association,
according to Eshoos office.
California ranks second behind Florida
with the number of homeowner associations.

must meet legal requirements, such as having

a funding plan in place, before asking the
state treasurer to sell its bonds. Regardless,
Alley emphasized the agencys commitment
to Caltrain.
Our lack of being able to sell the bond in
no way changes our commitment and our
position in funding the Caltrain electrification project. Its an important piece of infrastructure not only for the blended system of
high-speed rail, but the overall statewide rail
modernization program, Alley said.
The announcement was in part a response
to a draft of the authoritys revamped business
plan issued last month, which outlines initially bringing the bullet train further north
toward the Bay Area instead of starting service further south as originally proposed.
Based on its draft business plan, the authority anticipates beginning service between
Silicon Valley and the Central Valley by
2025.
It does reinforce the need to electrify the
corridor to extend the project north to San
Francisco in order to capture ridership
demand, which is critical to the overall highspeed rail projects success, Hartnett said.
The authority has yet to receive the vast
majority of its $10 billion in Proposition 1A
bonds approved by voters in 2008 after altering its proposed construction timeline and
finding the project could cost billions of dollars more than originally anticipated. Various
lawsuits have also snarled project plans.

Wed hope to ask the treasurer to sell the

bonds the minute the litigation is settled, but
thats something thats still being looked
at, Alley said.

Support for electrification

Although high-speed rail has been plagued
in controversy, Ackemann emphasized
theres broad support for Caltrain electrification an improvement that would allow the
agency to increase speeds, run more trains per
hour and greatly reduce its greenhouse gas
emissions.
Even with its patchwork of identified funding, Ackemann noted there still may be about
a $500 million shortfall. But that amount
would be refined once it hires contractors that
would solidify final designs and take the project into construction, Ackemann said.
Ultimately, funding such a project should
be a priority for those seeking to alleviate
congestion and prepare for future growth in
the Bay Area, Ackemann said.
Highway 101 is essentially as built out as
its going to be. So weve got to look at these
kinds of alternatives and the state recognizes
the importance of this project to building
additional capacity into the system. The San
Francisco, Peninsula communities and business communities recognize the importance
of this project. So theres a lot of momentum
to keep electrification moving forward,
Ackemann said. High-speed rail understands
that this is the critical foundation that they
need in order to operate on our corridor, so I
think from that perspective, theres just a
tremendous amount of support and commitment.
Congress needs to do all that it can to
reduce barriers to homeownership for hardworking middle class families. By helping to
alleviate the cost of community association
fees, this legislation is an important step,
Thompson wrote in a statement.
The bill will likely be heard first in the
House Ways and Means Committee and other
committees before it is possibly voted on by
the House of Representatives.
The fees may be a deterrent from someone
buying their first home and Eshoos bill will
give individuals more buying power, according to Eshoos office.
