Draper to get reality TV show

Downtown San Mateo university to start filming ABCs Startup U
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Hollywood is coming to San Mateo with

the help of venture capitalist Tim Draper
who plans to highlight Silicon Valley culture by turning his next class of entrepreneurial superheroes into reality TV stars.
Next week, ABC Family will begin filming the unscripted Startup U, a show

Tim Draper

revolving around the

incoming class at downtowns innovative boarding school for business
savvy youth known as
Draper University of
Heroes.
We hope this show will
bring new ideas to education, Draper wrote in an

email. I have always encouraged entrepreneurship worldwide and this should give
these young entrepreneurs some additional
exposure.
In early 2013, Draper formally opened
his school that attracts students from across
the globe for a seven-week immersion program where they hear from some of the
areas most successful innovators and conclude their experience with a rare chance to

pitch their ideas to a panel of venture capitalists.

The eccentric Draper said he will serve as
an executive producer alongside Ugly
Brother Studios twins Mike and Tim Duffy,
who approached him after hearing about
the wonders of Draper University of
Heroes.

Meth dealer gets three years

Wife said he sold drugs to coworkers at waste/recycling center
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A San Mateo resident was sentenced to

three years in state prison Monday for
possessing methamphetamine for sale,
according to the District Attorneys
Office.
Miguel Infante, 27, was denied probation and was granted 489 days credit for
time served.
Infante, who had a prior felony drug
sales conviction, was arrested at his mothers San Mateo home after police showed
up for a probation search in April 2014.
Infante wasnt home at the time of the
search but his 32-year-old wife Elaina
Renee Ruiz was home and allegedly locked
the bedroom door and asked police for
some time to dress after taking a shower,
according to the District Attorneys
Office.

Police didnt buy the

story, however, since
they heard noises coming from the bedroom
that made them think
she was moving things
around rather than
dressing, according to
the District Attorneys
Office.
Miguel Infante
When Ruiz opened the
door, police found a baggie of meth in her
purse and a nearly 12-gram shard/crystal
of meth in the trash along with a pipe.
Ruiz admitted that the baggie in her
purse was for her own personal use but told
police the large crystal was her husbands.
She told police that her husband had
brought the larger baggie home the day
before and was told not to smoke it since
he planned to sell it to his coworkers at a
waste/recycling center in San Carlos,

according to the District Attorneys

Office.
Both were convicted by a jury in January
but Ruiz, 32, is waiting to hear whether
she will be granted a new trial, her attorney Harvey Mittler said Monday.
Ruiz was also convicted for being under
the influence of drugs and for resisting
arrest, both misdemeanors.
Infante also pleaded no contest to felony
domestic violence for an incident involving his wife and has been ordered to no
longer contact her, according to the
District Attorneys Office.
Infantes lawyer, Ray Buenaventura, did
not return a call for comment yesterday.
Ruiz is scheduled back in court April 16
to learn whether a motion for a new trial
will be granted.

Kamala Harris raises $2.5 million for state Senate bid

By Michael R. Blood
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Democrat Kamala

Harris has raised $2.5 million since midJanuary for her U. S. Senate run in
California, giving her an early financial
edge in the 2016 contest, her campaign
announced Monday.
Competitive races are costly, and analysts
predict Harris could need $30 million or
more by Election Day next year. She is the
only major Democrat in the race so far,
although potential contenders include several members of Congress.
Harris banked a lot of money, but it costs
a lot of money to run statewide in
California, said Claremont McKenna

College political scientist Jack Pitney.

By itself, its not
enough to keep other
candidates out of the
race. But together with
her other advantages,
other potential candidates have to weigh their
carefully,
Kamala Harris options
Pitney said.
Harris entered the race on Jan. 13, seeking
the seat being vacated by Democrat Barbara
Boxer.
Since that time, Harris has concentrated
on raising money and rolling out endorsements to deter possible rivals. Meanwhile,
as state attorney general, she can generate

consistent headlines to grab public attention without spending campaign dollars.

The only established Republican in the
race is two-term state Assemblyman Rocky
Chavez. Democratic Reps. Loretta Sanchez,
Adam Schiff and Xavier Becerra are considering Senate bids.
Harris raised $1. 6 million in March
alone, or an average of about $50,000 a day.
After expenditures, she has about $2.2 million in the bank.

Decoys target e-cigs

Cops expand program to deter sales to minors
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Electronic cigarettes are the latest target

of San Mateo County law enforcement officials who expanded their typical decoy program to crack down on the sale of tobacco
products to minors in late March.
E-cigarettes have flooded the market the
past few years and are often touted as a
healthier alternative to traditional cigarettes as they vaporize liquid nicotine
instead of using combustion to create
smoke. As the liquid nicotine comes in a
variety of flavors from bubblegum to mint,
lawmakers have raised concerns that theyre
being marketed to minors and proposed various federal and state regulations.
On Saturday, March 28, deputies from the
San Mateo County Sheriffs Office along
with officers from San Bruno, South San
Francisco and Daly City police departments
took part in an eight-hour tobacco sting.
For the first time, this yearly effort included
decoys attempting to purchase e-cigarette
products, said sheriffs Deputy Rebecca
Rosenblatt.
Decoys approached a total of 187 merchants in Millbrae, San Bruno, South San
Francisco and Daly City and 19 were cited
for selling tobacco products to a minor,
according to the Sheriffs Office.
The decoys spent about a third of their
attempts trying to purchase e-cigarettes and
two of the 19 offenders sold the liquid nicotine products to a minor, Rosenblatt said.
Theres probably a perception that e-cigarettes maybe arent as bad as cigarettes.
Theyre kind of trendy and were seeing a lot
more people smoking them now and I think
its important to remember that they
pose the same health hazards as cigarettes

and thats why we felt it was important to

involve them in this years operation,
Rosenblatt said.
Six of the 40 merchants approached in
San Bruno sold to the decoy, four out of 60
South San Francisco merchants were cited
and nine out of 68 Daly City merchants sold
a tobacco product to a minor. None of the 19
Millbrae merchants who were contacted
sold to the decoy, according to the Sheriffs
Office.
The San Mateo County District
Attorneys Office has yet to prosecute or
impose a citation related to the sale of ecigarettes to a minor, making the two recent
citations a first for the county. Current law
classifies selling e-cigarettes as an infraction, only punishable by a fine of up to
$200 for a first offense, said Chief Deputy
District Attorney Karen Guidotti.
Selling a traditional tobacco product to a
minor is considered a misdemeanor, typically results in a $100 to $300 fine for the
first violation and multiple offenses could
result in jail time, although Guidotti said
she doesnt believe the county has ever
jailed someone for selling cigarettes to a
minor.
Until the state or federal governments create new laws to classify e-cigarettes as
tobacco products, county prosecutors are
restricted to imposing the lesser infractions
instead of misdemeanors to those who sell
to minors, Guidotti said.
In an effort to deter tobacco addiction,
state Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, has proposed legislation that would offer stricter
penalties to those who sell e-cigarettes to
minors.
Hills Senate Bill 24 would include e-cigarettes under the Stop Tobacco Access To
Kids Enforcement Act or STAKE Act
and will be heard in the Senate Committee

In an effort to deter tobacco addiction, state Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, has proposed legislation
that would offer stricter penalties to those who sell e-cigarettes to minors.
on Health next week.
Including e-cigarettes in the STAKE Act
would allow the state to levy stricter penalties against those who sell to minors.
While the first offense would land a store
owner a $400 to $600 fine for the first violation, they could face up to a $6,000 penalty for selling to a minor up to five times
within five years.
Furthermore, the law would also directly
put the sellers tobacco license at risk,
according to Hills office.
We want to prevent young people from
getting addicted to nicotine and the STAKE

Act thats applied to minors since 1994, we

thought that it would be appropriate to
apply that to e-cigarettes as well. To do
what we can to keep them out of the hands
and mouth of young people, Hill said when
he announced his proposal in December.
Common sense tells me one will lead to
the other once youre addicted, because the
addiction has no boundaries when it needs
to be satisfied.

Santa Clara supervisor

touts seawater filatration
and avoiding water wars
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors president Dave

Cortese said Monday that a regional system used to tap
desalinated seawater in the Bay Area should be an option to
bolster the countys vulnerable water supply and avoid
water wars with other counties.
San Jose gets one-third of its water flow from the Hetch
Hetchy Water System outside Yosemite on which San
Francisco also relies for its supply while another onethird comes from state aqueducts and the final third from
local ground water, Cortese said.
All of those sources for San Jose and the county, which
has 1.8 million people, could be at risk as California continues to experience a severe drought, Cortese said.
The topic of harvesting and desalinating water from the
ocean for drinkable water has been discussed by county officials but nothing has been approved and it is time to do so,
given Gov. Jerry Browns announcement last week ordering
cities and towns to cut water use by 25 percent, he said.
This shouldnt be a dog eat dog world, Cortese said. It
shouldnt be county against county. Im worried about that.
The city and county of San Francisco, if theyre desperate
for water, at some point, do we still get Hetch Hetchy down
here? Thats one-third of our water supply in Santa Clara
County.
We want to head those kind of arguments off, he said.
There have been enough water wars in the state over the
years without us getting into a water war now.
The real solution is for governments in the Bay Area to
get together, perhaps through the formation of a new
agency, to coordinate on desalination technology, split the
costs fairly, solve the environmental issues of cleaning
seawater and get the facilities up and running, he said.
The cost of water for consumers will likely have to
increase to pay for it, which is better than the alternative of
shortages of drinking water, he said.

Man convicted of using

forged credit card at SFO
A San Francisco man was convicted
in San Mateo County Superior Court
on Friday of trying to rent a car at San
Francisco International Airport using
a fraudulent credit card, prosecutors
said Monday.
On May 31, Patrick Wayne Davis,
44, tried to rent an SUV for two weeks
using a forged credit card at a Hertz
rental car office located at SFO. The
total value of the rental was $1,316,
according to the District Attorneys
Office.
A manager at Hertz called police after
noticing that Davis had reserved the
vehicle online using a false date of
birth, prosecutors said.
Davis said after being apprehended
that hed been bamboozled, prosecutors said. The Capitol One credit card
Davis used had his name on it, but the
card information was linked to his
account at Chase Bank, according to
the District Attorneys Office.
The defendant told officers that hed
met a dude with a clipboard and a
credit application on Market Street in
San Francisco a week earlier and thats
how he came to be in possession of the
forged credit card, prosecutors said.
Davis was convicted of commercial

burglary, credit card forgery, and possession of credit card account information. All three charges are felonies,
according to prosecutors.
Hell appear in court again for sentencing on June 5. Davis defense
attorney John May could not immediately be reached for comment Monday
morning.

Two mountain lions

spotted Sunday, Monday
A mountain lion was seen crossing a
road near the Miramontes Ridge Open
Space Preserve in unincorporated San
Mateo County Sunday evening and
another was spotted just east of La
Honda Open Space Preserve Monday
afternoon, according to emergency
officials.
The incident occurred around 6:50
p.m. Sunday and was called in to the
San Mateo County Sheriffs Office
around 8:45 p.m. The caller reported
seeing the mountain lion in the vicinity of Skyline Boulevard, or state
Highway 35, and Misty Ridge Road.
On Monday, the mountain lion was
spotted at roughly 1:45 p.m. in the
vicinity of
Skyline Boulevard, also known as
state Highway 35, and La Honda Road,
also known as state Highway 84.
Sheriffs officials advise against
hiking or jogging when mountain
lions are most active, at dawn, dusk or
after dark. They advise parents to keep
a close eye on small children and pick
them up in the event of a mountain
lion encounter.

Israel official: Military action

against Iran is still an option
By Alon Bernstein

U.S. Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz, right, discusses the recent preliminary nuclear deal
between Iran and six world powers.

Tough sell: President ramps up

lobbying campaign on Iran deal
By Josh Lederman and Connie Cass
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Facing deep skepticism

on multiple fronts, President Barack Obama
ramped up lobbying Monday for a framework nuclear deal with Iran, one of the
toughest sells of his presidency. Yet critics
from Jerusalem to Washington warned they
wont sit idly by while Obama and world
leaders pursue a final accord that would leave
much of Irans nuclear infrastructure intact.
The White House deployed Energy
Secretary Ernest Moniz a nuclear physicist to offer a scientific defense of a deal
that Moniz said would block all Iranian
pathways to a nuclear weapon. He described
the emerging deal as a forever agreement,
disputing skeptics who contend it would
merely delay Irans progress toward a bomb.
This is not built upon trust, Moniz
said, describing a set of intrusive inspections that would tip off the global community if Iran attempts to cheat. This is
built upon hardnosed requirements in
terms of limitations on what they do, at
various timescales, and on the access and

transparency.
Under the agreement,
Moniz said, Iran would
agree in perpetuity
to a beefed-up level of
inspection
by
the
International
Atomic
Energy Agency. Other
elements of the inspecBarack Obama tion regimen, such as
those dealing with storage and mining of nuclear materials, would
end sooner. And Moniz acknowledged that
over time, some restrictions on Irans
nuclear activities might be eased if the world
gains confidence that its program is being
operated for purely peaceful purposes.
Skeptics of Obamas diplomatic outreach
to Iran were undeterred.
Senate
Majority
Leader
Mitch
McConnell, R-Ky. , just back from the
Middle East, questioned why Iran would be
allowed to retain more than 6,000 centrifuges despite Obamas earlier suggestion that he was pursuing a deal that would
end Irans nuclear program, not simply
shrink it.

JERUSALEM A senior Israeli government minister on Monday warned that taking military action against Irans nuclear
program is still an option despite last
weeks framework deal between world powers and the Islamic Republic.
The comments by Yuval Steinitz, Israels
minister for strategic affairs, reflected the
alarm in Israel over last weeks deal, which
offers Iran relief from economic sanctions
in exchange for scaling back its suspect
nuclear program. Israeli leaders believe the
framework leaves too much of Irans nuclear
infrastructure intact and could still allow it
to develop the means to produce a nuclear
weapon.
Steinitz, a confidant of Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahus, said the government would spend the coming months lobbying the world powers negotiating with
Iran to strengthen the language in the deal
as they hammer out a final agreement. While
stressing that Israel prefers a diplomatic
solution, he said the military option still
exists.
It was on the table. Its still on the table.
Its going to remain on the table, Steinitz
told reporters. Israel should be able to
defend itself, by itself, against any threat.
And its our right and duty to decide how to
defend ourselves, especially if our national
security and even very existence is under
threat.
Israel considers a nuclear-armed Iran to be
a threat to its survival, pointing to years of
Iranian calls for Israels destruction, its support for anti-Israeli militant groups and its
development of long-range ballistic missiles that could be armed with nuclear warheads. Israel which is widely believed to

Israel should be able

to defend itself, by itself,
against any threat. And its our
right and duty to decide how to
defend ourselves, especially if
our national security and even
very existence is under threat.
Yuval Steinitz, Israels
minister for strategic affairs

be a nuclear power says a nuclear-armed

Iran would set off an arms race in the worlds
most volatile region.
The framework agreement was announced
last Thursday in Switzerland after years of
negotiations between Iran and world powers.
The deal aims to cut significantly into
Irans bomb-making technology while giving Tehran relief from international sanctions. The commitments, if implemented,
would substantially pare down Iranian
nuclear assets for a decade and restrict others
for an additional five years. Iran would also
be subject to intrusive international inspections.
Netanyahu believes the deal leaves intact
too much of Irans suspect nuclear program,
including research facilities and advanced
centrifuges capable of enriching uranium, a
key ingredient in a bomb. He also says the
deal fails to address Irans support for militant groups across the Middle East.
Since the deal was announced,
Washington has tried to calm Israeli nerves
and on Monday, White House official Ben
Rhoads gave a pair of televised interviews
promising continued U. S. support for
Israeli security.

Kenyan attacks hit

suspected militant
camps in Somalia
By Christopher Torchia and Tom Odula
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NAIROBI, Kenya Kenyan warplanes

bombed militant camps in Somalia, officials said Monday, following a vow by
President Uhuru Kenyatta to respond in the
fiercest way possible to a massacre of college students by al-Shabab extremists.
The airstrikes Sunday and Monday targeted the Gedo region of western Somalia,
directly across the border from Kenya, said
Col. David Obonyo of the Kenyan military.
The al-Shabab camps, which were used to
store arms and for logistical support, were
destroyed, but it was not possible to determine the number of casualties because of
poor visibility, he said.
The Somalia-based militant group claimed
responsibility for Thursdays attack at
Garissa University College in northeastern
Kenya in which militants killed 148 people, most of them students.
Hawa Yusuf, who lives in a village near the
town of Beledhawa that is close to the
Kenyan-Somali border, said the warplanes
were hovering around for a few minutes,
then started bombing. She didnt know if
there were any casualties, she said by
phone.
Another resident of the village, Ali
Hussein, said the airstrikes hit a grassland
where nomads often take their animals for
grazing.

We are not aware of any military camps

located there. They dropped bombs on the
whole area, he added.
Al-Shabab fighters often use shrubby
areas to conceal fighters and vehicles.
Airstrikes and other conventional military operations have hurt al-Shabab, but
analysts say better intelligence is needed to
thwart an extremist group that has proven
effective in infiltrating civilian populations and carrying out attacks on so-called
soft targets in urban areas.
The extremist group said the Garissa
attack was in reprisal for Kenya sending
troops into Somalia in 2011 to kill its
members who took part in cross-border
raids and kidnappings.
Kenyas troops in Somalia are part of an
African Union force and are also shoring up
the beleaguered Somali government. Kenya
has conducted airstrikes in Somalia before.
The four al-Shabab attackers who stormed
the university were killed by Kenyan security forces, and their bullet-riddled bodies
were displayed in Garissa. Five people have
been arrested on suspicion of involvement
in the attack, a Kenyan official said.
The al-Shabab group has struck several
times on Kenyan soil, although last weeks
assault was the deadliest. Other attacks have
occurred elsewhere in northeastern Kenya
last year, as well as at the upscale Westgate
shopping mall in the capital of Nairobi in
which 67 people died in 2013.

Fierce fighting as rebels move

on holdouts in Yemens Aden
By Ahmed Al-Haj and sarh El Deeb
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANAA, Yemen Pitched fighting intensified Monday in Yemens second-largest

city, Aden, leaving streets littered with bodies, as Shiite rebels and their allies waged
their strongest push yet to seize control of
the main bastion of supporters of their
rival, the countrys embattled president.
The fierce fighting in the southern port
city on the Arabian Sea raises doubts over
the possibility of landing ground forces
from a Saudi-led coalition backing President
Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi to try to carve
out an enclave to which Hadi, who fled the
country two weeks ago, could return.

by listing of Cuba as terror sponsor

summit this week have been snarled in disputes about Cubas presence on the U.S. list
of state sponsors of terror and U.S. diplomats freedom to travel and talk to ordinary
Cubans without restriction, officials say.
The Summit of the Americas will be the

defense minister said Monday. Pakistans

parliament is debating the request and is
expected to vote in coming days.
Saudi Arabia has been leading an air campaign since March 26 against the Houthis
and their allies, military units loyal to
Hadis predecessor, ousted autocrat Ali
Abdullah
Saleh.
The International
Committee for the Red Cross said Monday it
was still unable to get medical supplies into
the capital, Sanaa, or to Aden amid the air
and sea blockade by the coalition.
On Monday, Houthi fighters and pro-Saleh
forces attacked Adens Moalla neighborhood,
one of the last districts held by Hadi loyalists
where the presidential palace, port facilities,
TV, government offices and a military camp
are located. The districts are on a peninsula
that juts into the sea, meaning Hadis forces
are bottled up in the neighborhoods.

meeting since they announced Dec. 17 that
they will re-establish diplomatic relations

administration wanted the embassies

policy motivated partly by a sense that isolating Cuba was causing friction with other
countries in the region.

April Fools in San Mateo
Editor,
It must be an April Fools joke.
Elimination of recreation in San
Mateo. Say it isnt so.
Bridgepointe Ice Center continues
to be closedwhile San Mateo City
Hall proposes possibleremoval of all
tennis courts andbaseball eldin
Central Park.At the same time, San
Mateoincreases the pace of high-density development in our city. This
allin the midst of school overcrowding, a historic water shortage,horrible trafc, shortage of recreation
elds and courts throughout our city
and an obesity epidemic that First
Lady Michelle Obama states should
be a national priority to remedy.
San Mateo City Hall let the
Bridgepointe owner know that you
will never allow a zoning change of
the Ice Center from recreation to
retail. If the mall owner knows you
are 100 percent serious about this,
non-negotiable, how long do you
think they would allow the site to be
shuttered? Maintain and improve the
tennis courts (all of them)as well as
the baseball eld in Central Park.
Slow down development. Promote
healthy living in our city.San Mateo
City Council, we put our trust in you
when we voted for you. Do what is
best for those who live in ourcommunity.For prot, for community, can
work well in tandem; do not cater to

that is at the detriment ofcommunity
well-being.Overcrowding and a

Keep Fitzgerald Field

Editor,
Why would the city of San Mateo
ever consider getting rid of Fitzgerald
Field? Anybody that grew up in San
Mateo has at one time or another used
this eld to play on or watch games
being played. As a child growing up
like so many other children, I played
many sports on this eld. I also spent
many enjoyable hours sitting in the
stands watching other people play on
this eld. Ask anyone where
Fitzgerald Field is and you will get an
automatic answer Central Park on
the corner of El Camino Real. Ask
them where other parks are and you
will get a total different answer such
as I dont know or let me look it up. I
have recently moved to Redwood City
but I still have many memories of
this park and I still from time to time
stop and watch games simply because
its enjoyable.

We need desalinization plants

Editor,
Gov. Jerry Brown has just issued an
Executive Order in addition to the
State of Emergency proclamation due
to the severe ongoing drought.
We need water and desalinization is
one way to get it. Desalinization
plants need two things, water and
power lots of both. The nuclear
plant Diablo Canyon has both; its
cooling water already pumped from
the ocean could be run through a
desalinization plant if built nearby.
The power requirement for the
desalinization process is great but
readily available from the plant. If
this is feasible, it should be a top priority.

Joe Cosgrave
Belmont

Unleash competitiveness
against the drought
Editor,
Desalinization is expensive. It
requires a lot of electricity. It takes up
valuable coastal land. It may require
costly environmental remediation to
protect marine species. It costs energy and money to pump water up hill
to end users.
We can declare it a lost cause. Or we
can get creative. We have nine
schools in the University of
California system, not counting
UCSF. We have world class engineering students and faculty from multiple
engineering disciplines. Why not
harness this brain power and their
intercollegial competitiveness? Let
them compete. The state should offer
a cash reward, say $5 million, to the
team that can devise the best desalinization plant design. The designs will
be judged base on innovation, compactness, energy efciency, environmental impact and, of course, cost. To
sweeten the pot, the state should also
pay for and help fast track the application of any patents invented during
the competition.
Better yet, we can recoup some of

Network Television, say the

up costing the state nothing. Hey, I
always believe there ought to have
engineering students as TV stars that
kids can look up to. Do you?
Even if we shall fail to nd any signicant improvement over existing
desalinization techniques, it would
have informed us what techniques
dont work; it would have educated
potential neighbors around future
desalinization projects about what
goes on inside these plants and reduce
their fear and uncertainty when it is
their turn to decide. The televised
competition would have increased the
awareness about the drought.
Desalinization is expensive, but so
is not being ready for a long drought.

Opposite responses
to California drought
Editor,
There were two stories in the April
2 edition of the Daily Journal (on
pages one and four) that were so
closely related that I found it irresistible to summarize them as one
story.
Gov. Jerry Brown ordered ofcials
Wednesday to impose statewide
mandatory water restrictions for the
rst time in history. The story reports
the State Water Resources Control
Board will implement measures to cut
the states overall water usage by 25
percent. Were in a historic drought
and that demands unprecedented
action, Brown said. Meanwhile, the
Daily Journal reported Bill and Dede
Loftus response to our historic
drought ... they sought out Animal
Planets Pool Master and will be
featured on his cable series as he built
them a new swimming pool big
enough to entertain up to 50 children,
and a bar for the parents.
Accommodating the rushed time
frame, they talked the Woodside Fire
Protection District into opening a
hydrant near the house to ll the pool
in a fraction of the normal ll time,
and have the Loftuses enjoying their
new pool as soon as possible. Isnt
that precious? One question wasnt
answered by either story: Why in the
world would the Redwood City
Planning Department issue a permit
for swimming pool construction in
the midst of this drought?

Values: The beating

heart of democracy

usually have a short laugh when people ask me why I

am a Republican. I cannot blame them. Lets face it
I am an African-American male homegrown in the Bay
Area not your typical native of Californias northern
region. This question most frequently came up when I
knocked on so many of your doors, hoping to garner your
support when I ran for state Assembly last year.
Most often, my response is that I believe in the power of
individuals and communities to do good for their own than I
do in our dysfunctional federal government based in
Washington, D.C. Our elected federal ofcials in both parties seldom come together to act in the best interests of our
local communities in California.
I must credit the core values of the Republican party
faith, sacrice, a strong national defense and a path to prosperity for all Americans with making possible what
many deemed impossible for decades, such as the collapse of
the Berlin Wall, our dear veterans proudly defending our
ideals of freedom and democracy from all shores, and becoming the largest engine of economic freedom the world has
ever known following World War
II. These values are enshrined in
the very heart and sinew of the
American people and ow
vibrantly through the veins of
our democracy.
The moment I knew I had a
place in the GOP came at an odd
time in my life on my orientation day at Skyline Community
College in San Bruno. As a recent
high school graduate, I had no
job and very little money.
Our guest speaker was an alumnus of Skyline a well accomJonathan Madison
plished businessman. After his
speech, a student anxiously raised his hand. Raising the
Skyline College welcome orientation packet, the student
exclaimed, How do you expect us to study three to four
hours for every class when some of us may take four to ve
classes and have to support families? That is impossible,
he said.
Rather than offering the student words of anticipated
encouragement, our guest speaker added there was no guarantee we would obtain the career of our choice after completion
of our degrees. After an awkward silence, our guest speaker
asked a student to my right about her career ambitions.
Im taking classes to be a physician, she replied. He
proceeded to pose the same question to several other students.
Apprehensive when he asked me the same question, I said
that I intended to work for Congress, attend law school and
possibly run for local ofce. At that point, I could hear
many of my fellow incoming classmates chuckling at my
answer. They knew that I could not afford to attend a fouryear institution, let alone law school.
Commanding the room, our guest speaker turned to the
complaining student and suggested that obtaining our career
ambitions would require sleepless nights, long days and sacrice.
Nothing worth your time comes without sacrice in life,
he said. Guess what, he continued, no one will do it for
you. You can either blame your peers for your failures or
unwillingness to make sacrices to achieve your goals, or
you can work hard to make your goals a reality. While
other students were shocked by the mans sentiment, this
resonated with me because my parents raised me to embody
the same work ethic growing up.
Once skeptical of those who inherited or attained enormous wealth and achievement, I found with maturity that
prosperity is a beacon of great opportunity. Contrary to
popular opinion, people at every end of the socioeconomic
ladder have an opportunity to climb and reach prosperity.
While I can sympathize with those who truly need government assistance, able-bodied people should be willing to
achieve success independent of our taxpayer support when
they can.
The reality is that for me, being Republican has been
much more of a lifestyle than a party afliation. You see,
few could have imagined that I an African-American male
from Pacica would have the opportunity to transfer to
Howard University in the nations capital and work for the
Financial Services Committee in the House of
Representatives during the aftermath of the greatest nancial crisis since the Great Depression. Or, my decision to
run for local ofce in San Mateo County. Likewise, no one
could have imagined that I would have the wondrous opportunity to share my opinions with you in a weekly column in
one of the most widely circulated newspapers in the Bay
Area.
The bottom line is that success does not lie in entitlement, guarantees or gifts, but in hard work, ambition and
sacrice. These are the values that embody the beating heart
of our great country providing each of us with an opportunity to achieve resolution in our human struggle.

NEW YORK Expectations that

the Federal Reserve will be slow to
raise interest rates following a weak
jobs report last week helped send the
stock market up on Monday. A jump
in the price of crude oil set off a rally
in energy stocks.
The stock market was closed Friday
when the Labor Department reported
that employers added just 126,000
workers to their payrolls in March,
the smallest increase since December
2013. It was another sign of weaker
economic growth in the winter
months and added more pressure on
the Federal Reserve to put off raising
rates from near zero. Historically low
rates have helped stocks soar over
the past six years.
David Lefkowitz, senior equity
strategist at UBS, said calming words
from William Dudley, president of the
Feds New York branch, gave
investors encouragement. In a speech
Monday morning, Dudley pointed to
the recent shaky economic news and
said he expects the Feds rate increases would be shallow.
If Fed officials think the economy
is not strong enough, theyre not
going to do anything to jeopardize
the economic recovery, Lefkowitz
said. With inflation low and well-

contained the Fed can be patient.

Theres nothing forcing their hand.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
gained 13. 66 points, or 0. 7 percent,
to close at 2, 080. 62. The Dow Jones
industrial average rose 117. 61
points,
or 0. 7 percent,
to
17, 880. 85, and the Nasdaq composite rose 30. 38 points, or 0. 6 percent,
to 4, 917. 32.
Had the market been open on
Friday, we would have probably had a
triple-digit decline in the Dow, said
Hank Smith, chief investment officer
at Harverford Trust. The fact that we
had a weekend to digest put it in perspective.
Smith said he thought the economy
was tracing a route laid out in previous years when rough winters gave
way to stronger springs. This is deja
vu, he said. There was no polar vortex, like last year, but you clearly had
weather in New England that was
much more severe than last year.
The

companies in the service industry
expanded at a slightly slower pace in

U.S. service firms grew at slightly slower pace last month

By Christopher S. Rugaber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON U. S. service firms

expanded at a slightly slower yet still
healthy pace in March, an encouraging
sign after multiple reports last week pointed to a slowing economy.
The Institute for Supply Management
said Monday that its services index
slipped to 56.5 last month, from 56.9 in
February. Any reading over 50 indicates
expansion.
A measure of sales fell last month and
dragged down the overall index. But gauges
of hiring and orders rose, evidence that
services firms may see solid growth in the
coming months.
That suggests that recent signs of a weakening economy could prove temporary. The

services figures come after a disappointing

jobs report last week, which echoed a slew
of other weak economic data this month.
Employers added just 126, 000 jobs in
March, the fewest in 15 months.
Based on this survey, rumors of the
demise of the US economy have been greatly exaggerated, Paul Ashworth, chief U.S.
economist at Capital Economics, said in a
note to clients.
At the same time, service firms covered
by the report, which include health care
providers, hotels, restaurants, construction companies, and banks, are less affected by some of the trends which have held
back manufacturing. Factory output has
slowed partly because of a rapid rise in the
value of the dollar, which makes goods
exports more expensive.
Manufacturing firms were also hit by a

labor dispute at ports in California, which

delayed the shipping of needed parts and
components.
Fourteen of 18 services industries reported growth in March, led by real estate,
hotels and restaurants, and transportation
and shipping.
Still, many analysts now forecast that
the economy barely expanded in the first
three months of this year. Growth has
slowed dramatically in the last six months.
The ISM is a trade group of purchasing
managers. Its survey of services firms covers businesses that employ 90 percent of
the American workforce, including retail,
construction, health care and financial
services companies.
The ISMs manufacturing index, released
last week, fell for the fifth straight month
in March. In addition to the strong dollar,

NEW YORK Starbucks says its workers

can now have four years of tuition covered
for an online college degree from Arizona
State University instead of just two, marking the latest sign that companies are
rethinking their treatment of low-wage
workers.
The Seattle-based coffee chain says the
decision is part of its commitment to redefine the role and responsibility of a public
company.
The expansion of the program comes as
employers increasingly seek to win favor
with customers by cultivating their images
for being socially responsible. Last week,
McDonalds also announced it was expanding a college tuition assistance program to
workers at its more than 14, 300 U. S.
stores. At its company-owned stores,
McDonalds said workers would get a pay
bump and be able to earn paid time off as
well.
Among the other major employers that
have announced wage hikes recently are
Wal-Mart Stores and Gap Inc.
The public declarations of improved pay
and benefits come as the growing income
disparities between the richest Americans
and everyone else have become a major
political issue. Last year, more than a dozen
states and multiple cities raised their local
minimum wages, according to the National
Employment Law Project.

factories have been held back by cheaper

oil, which has hurt orders for steel pipe and
other equipment.
Home construction has been weak
despite low mortgage rates. And Americans
are still cautious about spending, even with
a sharp plunge in gas prices since last June.
Growth has faltered as a result. The economy expanded at a 2.2 percent annual rate
in the final three months of last year, down
sharply from a blistering 4.8 percent in the
six months from last April through
November.
Most analysts expect it slowed even further in the January-March quarter. Harsh
winter weather may have been partly to
blame. But paychecks are still barely keeping up with inflation, even as the unemployment rate has fallen. That is likely
weighing on spending and growth.

Viacom announces
layoffs, $785M in expenses
NEW YORK Media giant Viacom Inc.
on Monday announced a round of layoffs
and restructuring that will result in it booking $785 million in special expenses in its
recently ended quarter.
A Viacom spokesman declined to say how
many people would be laid off.
The New York company said it will writedown underperforming TV shows and abandon some shows that it bought, as well as
make severance payments. Among shows
creating the need for the accounting charge
are reality programs such as The Real

The restructuring comes amid the departure this month of longtime executive Van
Toffler, president of Viacoms Music &
Logo Group, who is launching a contentcreation business. Channels under his
purview, such as MTV, Logo, VH1 and CMT,
are being reorganized under existing departments.
The move comes after Viacom CEO

that the company had to adapt to shifting
consumer behavior. In a memo to staff in
February, Dauman said Viacom is working
to incorporate new forms of distribution
and to better integrate technology in everything we do.

Legacy of greatness
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Read into the

meaning, not
into the words

It doesnt take long for Sacred Heart Preps

Tierna Davidson to make her presence felt on the
soccer field.
Just look for the attacking midfielder who
is the most dangerous player any time she
is on the ball. Whether its taking
defenders off the dribble, slotting perfect through passes to charging forwards or burying shots of her own,
Davidson was, more often than
not, the most best player on the
field.
Tierna is that player you
know [when] she is on the
field, she is going to make
things happen, said Sacred
Heart Prep girls soccer
coach Ramiro Arredondo.
On a team loaded with a
handful of Division I college
prospects, Davidson plays a
game not usually seen at the
high school level. She
helped lead the Gators to the
West Bay Athletic League
Foothill Division championship as well as the Central
Coast Section Division III title.
Davidson, who was named the
WBALs Midfielder of the Year, finished the season with a team-best 27
assists and 22 goals, which was second behind freshman Mia Shenk, who
finished with 31.
Davidson averaged more than a point per
game this season. There were only two games
in which Davidson did not record a goal and only
four games in which she didnt have an assist.
All that adds up to Davidson being selected as
the Daily Journals Girls Soccer Player of the
Year.
Its not just the goals and assists that sets
Davidson apart. Whenever she has the ball at her
feet, she is attacking. Whether taking on defenders or just moving the ball around the field, every

that n. And so, a

firestorm of controversy
flared up after the University
of Kentucky basketball player Andrew
Harrison uttered that statement under his
breath at the post-game news conference
following the Wildcats upset loss to
Wisconsin Saturday.
Harrison was asked
about Wisconsin
center Frank
Kaminsky and the
microphone set up
on the table picked
up what Harrison
thought he was saying under his breath.
Which, once
again, raises the
issue of the n-word.
What? No Jesse
Jackson? No Rev. Al
Sharpton? Two
mouthpieces who always have something
to say when that word pops up in the
media because of some event. If it was
Kaminsky, who is white, had said that
word, he would have been castigated from
here until the NBA draft, where he is
expected to be a first-round pick.
Lets face it. As much as everyone gets
up in arms when this word, once again,
gets play in the media, it is never going
away. There are certain people who can
use the word and other who cant. As
soon as we figure that out, well save ourselves a lot of hassle.
Personally, Im immune to the word. I
hear it so often. In the world of sports,
the word is thrown around as a stand-in
for the word man, guy, or him. In
Harrisons case, he was essentially saying, Forget that guy, or forget him.
Which, in the world of sports, is the
greatest sign of respect.
What this all really comes down to is

Giants just hold off Gray flirts with history

D-Backs in opener as As blank the Rangers
By John Marshall

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHOENIX The San Francisco Giants did

not exactly have a strong spring.
Individual players struggled at the plate and
in the field. The starters floundered at times.
Even postseason star Madison Bumgarner
had his shaky moments.
Once the regular season started, though, the
defending World Series champions looked the
part.
Bumgarner pitched seven steady innings
and the Giants opened defense of their third
title in five years with a 5-4 win over the
Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night.
It just goes to show you, you can throw
spring training stats out, Giants manager
Bruce Bochy said. The bell rung, these guys
answered it.
Bumgarner (1-0) was the NLCS and World
Series MVP last year and was sharp to start
the 2015 season, allowing a run on six hits.
The offense had an encouraging opener,
too, despite losing power-hitting Pablo

Sandoval during the offseason and right fielder Hunter Pence to a broken arm that will keep
him out early this year.
Sparked by the top of the order Nori
Aoki, Joe Panik and Angel Pagan San
Francisco had 10 hits in four-plus innings
against Josh Collmenter (0-1) to build a fourrun lead.
Panik had three hits, Pagan had a pair of
run-scoring singles and Aoki added two hits.
Brandon Crawford chipped in with a two-run
double in the fifth.
The Giants nearly blew it, but Jeremy
Affeldt got a big out in the eighth inning and
Santiago Casilla worked a perfect ninth for
the save.
Its about winning games, thats it, and we
were able to find a way to do it, Bumgarner
said.
The Diamondbacks made it interesting after
Bumgarner left.
They loaded the bases against Javier
Lopez and Jean Machi in the eighth inning,
and pinch-hitter Jake Lamb hit a three-run

OAKLAND Bob Melvin did his best to

keep Sonny Gray from becoming chatty
between innings of his no-hit bid. The pitcher kept wanting to discuss his walk-up music
and get the managers approval.
Im not very superstitious, Gray said.
The right-hander didnt allow a hit until
Ryan Rua singled leading off the eighth
inning, and the Oakland Athletics snapped
their record 10-game losing streak on opening day by beating the Texas Rangers 8-0
Monday night.
Trying to join Bob Feller (1940) as the
only pitchers to throw a no-hitter on opening day, Gray dazzled through seven innings
and allowed only two baserunners before
Ruas sharp grounder to right field. Fans in
the sellout crowd of 36,067 chanted Sonny!
Sonny! and offered a roaring ovation.
He loved the energy.
I dont try to block it out at all, I try to use
it, he said. I felt good in the bullpen and I

knew during the player entrances and stuff we

were all ready for this game.
Ben Zobrist backed Grays eight-inning
gem with a two-run homer in the first and
also had a double in his Oakland debut.
Stephen Vogt added a three-run shot in the
seventh.
New designated hitter Billy Butler hit an
RBI double as the As won their opener for the
first time since beating Texas on April 5,
2004.
Oaklands 10-game skid on opening day
was the longest in major league history.
Gray (1-0) walked one and struck out three
in his 98-pitch performance. Evan Scribner
worked a perfect ninth to finish the one-hitter.
Given the As didnt want to jinx Gray by
talking to him between innings, he was
quick to greet Vogt with a chest bump when
Vogt returned to the dugout.
Whether its now or 10 years from now, or
15, I wouldnt say I expect it, but I would not

Duke claims title with 2nd half surge

By Aaron Beard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

INDIANAPOLIS With two of Dukes

star freshmen in foul trouble in the biggest
game of the season, the Blue Devils found a
championship-saving jolt from an unlikely
source.
Hello, Grayson Allen. Welcome to the
games biggest stage.
The fourth and often overlooked member
of Dukes heralded freshman class scored 16
points in Monday nights NCAA championship game. That included a run of eight
straight points for Duke along with a
huge burst of energy that helped Duke get
back in a game that was slipping away and
beat Wisconsin 68-63 for the programs
fifth title.
We got nine points down, were in foul
trouble and a little bit disjointed, Duke
coach Mike Krzyzewski said. And Grayson
put us on his back.
Allens timely burst was desperately
needed for Duke with star big man Jahlil
Okafor and fellow freshman Justise
Winslow battling foul trouble. And with
Okafor sitting for long stretches of the second half, Allen saw major minutes in a
small lineup for the Blue Devils (35-4).
Allen,
a
6-foot-4
guard from
Jacksonville, Florida, scored 10 points
after halftime and finished 5-for-8 from the
field along with a perfect 5-for-5 from the
foul line in 21 minutes. Along the way, he
provided some of the same hustle he did in
Saturday nights win against Michigan
State in the Final Four, sprinting and diving for loose balls or penetrating hard into
the paint and just being a general pest
against a veteran Badgers team.
It was a heck of a coming out party, one
that put Allen on the five-man all-Final
Four tournament team after this one was
over.
Coach has told me all year to stay ready
in practice, and those other seven guys
have really given me confidence, Allen
said. Theyve been supporting me all year.
... I knew that I was capable of doing it just
because of what theyve been telling me all
year.
Theres no way Wisconsin couldve seen

Allens outburst coming, either.

Allen had played at least 20 minutes only
twice and scored in double figures four times
all year before Monday night. He was averaging just 4.0 points in 8.9 minutes per
game coming in, and much of that production had come in an 18-point outing in the
season-opening win against Presbyterian
and a 27-point outburst in a rout of Wake
Forest in February.
He had earned a bigger supporting role
and more trust from Krzyzewski after the
dismissal of Rasheed Sulaimon from the
team in January, even though there were
still plenty of games where he saw only
spot minutes here and there.
Allens teammates, however, said they
saw plenty of strong performances in practice, complete with that relentless energy
and aggressive play that left him with a
couple of big floorburns from diving on the
court during the two games in Indianapolis.
Winslow went as far as to call Allen an
expletive in describing his relentless play
in practice. Maybe thats why none of the
Blue Devils in the celebratory locker room
said they were surprised by what Allen did
Monday night.
The Blue Devils trailed 48-39 when Allen
started his personal spurt with a 3-pointer,
followed by a driving basket for a threepoint play and then two free throws. That
got Duke back in the game, on the way to
making Krzyzewski only the second coach
to win five NCAA championships.
Guys didnt want to guard him out there,
Winslow said. You saw that. He kept getting to the basket, kept getting big plays.
So for a guy to do that ... it just speaks volumes to the type of person he is.
When it was over and Duke had cut down
the nets down once again, players and
coaches climbed onto the midcourt stage to
watch One Shining Moment on the video
boards in Lucas Oil Stadium.
Allen found himself standing beside
Krzyzewski, the Hall of Fame coachs netwrapped left hand holding gently onto his
left elbow.
It was fitting since it was hard to imagine
how Duke couldve won its biggest game of
the season without him.

Raiders excited to Defense rest in

trial
of
ex-NFL
begin offseason star Hernandez
under new coach
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA The coaching staff has

been overhauled, the roster upgraded and the
facilities modernized.
Now the Oakland Raiders get the chance
to turn those improvements into a better
record on the eld.
Oaklands veterans began reporting back
to the team facility on Monday for the ofcial start of the offseason program. Like all
teams that changed coaches this offseason,
the Raiders will get a two-week head start
for new coach Jack Del Rio to start implementing his plans for improving a team
that has gone 12 straight
seasons without a winning record or playoff
berth.
Im red up, quarterback Derek Carr said. I
think that weve done a
great job. Our whole
locker room feels that
way. Our whole locker
Jack Del Rio room felt going into the
offseason, free agency
and the draft, that were close. We became a
team at the end and once we started playing
like a team, we saw what we could do and
then we saw how many games we lost that
were so close when we werent a team.
Del Rio was hired in January to replace
interim coach Tony Sparano, who was in
charge for 12 games after the in-season ring of Dennis Allen. Del Rio has brought in
an almost entirely new staff, including
offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave and
defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr., and
upgraded the teams weight room and
strength program.
The staff includes eight former NFL players with more than 100 years of playing
experience. Those former players have
brought new energy to the team, with offensive players excited to run Musgraves uptempo system and defenders looking for-

ward to soaking up Nortons contagious

energy.
You can sense it as a player that hes
excited and he is a competitor, linebacker
Khalil Mack said. You almost can feel that
intensity that you can feel on the defense
when youre out there and its fourth down
and you have a guy out there like that. It can
only help that you have a coach as well that
has been there and played.
Carr and Mack were two of the lone bright
spots as rookies last season when the
Raiders won just three games. Carr started
all 16 games and showed signs he could stabilize the revolving door that has existed at
quarterback in Oakland since Rich Gannon
left more than a decade ago.
Mack was one of the top outside linebackers in the game as a rookie, dominating against the run and generating consistent pressure on quarterbacks.
In less than a year, they have gone from
unproven rookies to core players.
When I came in, out of respect I cant go
out and just be the alpha male, dominant
leader, because it really wasnt my team
yet, said Carr, who was expected to back up
Matt Schaub last season. I was going to
come in and be myself, but I couldnt assert
my leadership role and all that. Now, its
really nice and its going to make it a lot
easier to go out and be myself. I dont have
to come in and hold back a little bit.
General manager Reggie McKenzie has
added several projected new starters in free
agency, most notably linebacker Curtis
Lofton, defensive tackle Dan Williams,
safety Nate Allen and center Rodney
Hudson, as well as running backs Trent
Richardson and Roy Helu, former Super
Bowl MVP linebacker Malcolm Smith and
blocking tight end Lee Smith.
Two holes that have not been lled have
been at receiver and edge rusher. Those additions could wait until the draft when the
Raiders have the fourth overall pick and top
receiving prospects Amari Cooper and
Kevin White could be available.

FALLRIVER, Mass. Testimony in the murder trial of former New England Patriots player
Aaron Hernandez ended Monday after the
defense called just three witnesses and rested its
case in a single day.
Superior Court Judge Susan Garsh told jurors
they had heard all the evidence they would hear,
and that they were due in court Tuesday morning
to hear closing arguments and receive instructions. They will then begin deliberations.
Hernandez has pleaded
not guilty in the June 17,
2013, killing of Odin
Lloyd, who was shot six
times at an industrial park
less than a mile from
Hernandezs home in North
Attleborough. Lloyd was
dating the sister of
Hernandezs fiancee. At the
time of the killing, the star
Aaron
tight end had a $40 million
Hernandez
contract with the Patriots.
The defenses first witness was a professor at
Tufts University School of Medicine, who testified about the effects of the drug PCP, saying it
can cause people to become suddenly violent
days after using it. Hernandezs cousin testified
that she saw his two co-defendants, Ernest
Wallace and Carlos Ortiz, smoking PCP the
weekend of the crime. Both men have pleaded
not guilty and will be tried later.
Prosecutor Patrick Bomberg went after Dr.
David Greenblatts testimony, showing surveillance video of Ortiz, Wallace and Hernandez

from Hernandezs home before and immediately

after the killing. In the videos, the men do not
appear to be acting strangely.
This is essentially three minutes after the
murder; youd expect to see something lingering of PCP psychosis or intoxication,
Bomberg said, asking if Greenblatt could detect
such behavior.
You just cant tell, Greenblatt replied.
After the defense rested, prosecutors called a
rebuttal witness to testify about PCP. That witness, Dr. Martin Brecher, a psychiatrist who
wrote a paper reviewing cases of PCP over
decades, said it was wrong to associate the drug
and violence.
The other two witnesses called by the defense
related to DNA on a shell casing found inside a
silver Nissan Altima that was rented by
Hernandez, which prosecutors say he used to
drive Lloyd to his death. When police found the
shell casing in a trash bin at a rental car agency,
it was stuck to chewed blue bubble gum that also
was found in the Nissan. In testing, Hernandezs
DNA was found on the shell casing. The defense
has argued it got there from the bubble gum. A
DNA analyst testified Monday that Hernandezs
DNA was on the bubble gum.
While they spent less than a day putting on a
defense, Hernandezs lawyers vigorously crossexamined many of the prosecutions 131 witnesses, some for hours, during the more than 2month-long trial. They questioned why
Hernandez would put his life and career on the
line to kill a man they said was a friend. They
also attacked what they painted as sloppy
police work.

out pinch-hitter David Peralta, and Arizona
wasnt able to hit anything hard against
Casilla.
They showed a lot of fight, Arizonas Chip
Hale said after his first game as a big league
manager. That was great to come back.
Bumgarner had one of the best postseason
runs in major league history last year, earning two wins in the World Series and a fiveinning save in Game 7 on two days rest.
The left-hander wasnt exactly sharp in
spring training, going 0-3 with a 3.70 ERA,
but said he felt good and would be ready for
the start of the season.
He was right.
Bumgarner left a pitch up in the third
inning to Mark Trumbo, who hit a run-scoring triple that nearly went out in the deepest
part of the park.
Other than that, Bumgarner had the
Diamondbacks under control, aided by double
plays in the fifth and sixth.
I dont know what else we can say about
him, Bochy said. This guys special; first
start goes out there and throws a terrific
game.
Collmenter has been Arizonas jack-of-all
trades during his four seasons in the desert,
filling in wherever the Diamondbacks needed
him, whether it was as a starter or long relief.
The over-the-top-throwing right-hander
was rewarded for his workmanlike efforts by
getting the ball on opening day.
Aoki, Panik and Pagan greeted him with
one hit after another, going a combined 8 for

her forwards, especially Shenk.

She is making me look good. So many of
my assists were to her, Davidson said.
Its not so much her scoring prowess that
causes Davidson to stand out. Its her view of
the game. You hear terms like field vision or
court vision when it comes to sports. Its a
term used when a player seems to have an
uncanny ability to see how things could develop before they actually do.
Another frequent term for that ability is a
coach on the field, which is how Arredondo
views Davidson.
Shes always dissecting the game. As a captain, you always expect her to be a great leader,
but she is my eyes on the field. She reads it like
a coach would, Arredondo said. I think Tierna
has, by far, the best soccer vision Ive ever
seen. Tierna reads this game really well,
Davidson credits her experience as well as
her club coach, Andres Deza of De Anza Force,
for instilling that desire to study the game.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Ive been playing since I was 2. Its always

been a part of my life, Davidson said. My
club coach is big on being a student of the
game. The learning, the intellectual part of the
game came from [Deza].
Its her love and knowledge of the game
that has allowed Davidson to excel as a midfielder for the Gators, a position she doesnt
normally play. For her club team, she is a
defensive midfielder and as a member of the
U18 U.S. National Team player pool, she
plays central defender.
And yet she plays an attacking role as if she
were born for the role.
Her decision making is, by far, the best Ive
ever seen. She makes the hard things easy,
Arredondo said. The way I see it, you have
one, two or three options. I think Tierna has
the vision to see that. If the first play is easy,
great. Lets hit it.
Arredondo went on to say Davidson has the
ability to even change those options. If she

doesnt like any of the options presented, she

will do something with the ball to give herself
new opportunities.
I would have been willing to play any position to keep the team strong, Davidson said.
I try to get other players in the best position
to score.
While Davidson still has her senior season
yet to play, she has already orally committed to
attend and play soccer at Stanford University.
She plans to make it official next fall.
Its always been my dream to go to a DI
school to play soccer, Davidson said. I found
it to be the best combination of athletics and
academics.
And just because her future is apparently set,
dont expect Davidson to act as if she has
arrived.
I have a feeling its definitely a thing I can
lose so I keep working hard. I get the grades,
get the test scores and improve my play all the
way up until I go there.

respect. Replace the swear word and the

derogatory word and Harrison is still not
giving Kaminsky the credit he deserves in
winning the game.
Kaminsky finished the game with 20
points and 11 rebounds. He torched Kentucky.
The last thing Harrison or any of the Wildcats
wanted was to talk about was Kaminsky.
He chose poor language and lashed out. Its
the use of the swear word and n-word that trigger reaction. What if he had given a wave of
his hand instead of saying anything? Would
that have been just as submissive as what he
ultimately said?
When a player dismisses an opponent like
that, he is subconsciously admitting the
opponent got the best of him and/or his
team. Many elite athletes have a difficult
time admitting they were beaten even if
the player was the college player of the year.
Dont worry, Andrew. Kaminsky did that to
a lot of teams this year. I can all but guarantee you that phrase was uttered across losing
locker rooms all season long as Wisconsin
rolled over the competition.
If Kentucky had won and Harrison or
whoever was defending Kaminsky was
asked about it post game, the conversation
would have gone a little something like this:
Frank Kaminsky. Great player. We really
had to game plan to stop him. Well, at least
contain him. He was named AP Player of the
Year and we shut him down.
Then it would have been all hugs and kisses. Instead, you have a 20-year-old pouting
about his team losing and dismissing the
player and team that beat him.

Serra High School had its day in court

Monday, so to speak, as the schools appeal
of sanctions placed on its athletic program
by the Central Coast Section was denied.
After the football team withdrew the consolation championship of the Open Division,
the school was dealt a two-year playoff ban
from the playoffs and the rest of the athletic
department put on probation.
Serra appealed that decision and the CCS
Executive Committee hearing was Monday in
the CCS offices. By a vote of 6-3, the committee upheld the sanctions.
CCS said in a press release, The sanctions
stem from a month-long investigation that
found Junipero Serra violated section rules
when it unilaterally decided to withdraw from
a December 5, 2014 CCS playoff football
contest against Milpitas High School.
Serra principal Barry Thornton said in a
press release that the school was disappointed by the verdict.
We decided to forfeit due to concerns about
our students safety, Thornton said in the
release. A written summary of the CCS
Executive Committees decision is expected
to be released in seven days. Once we have
had a chance to review this summary, we will
determine our next steps as we move forward.
Despite the vote of the executive committee, the appeal in still not dead. Serra can
choose to appeal the decision to the CCS
Board of Managers.

Former Raiders assistant
Charlie Sumner dies at 84
ALAMEDA Longtime Raiders
defensive assistant and former
NFL player Charlie Sumner has
died. He was 84.
Sumners son, Colin, told the
Bay Area News Group that his
father died Friday in Maui from
complications following gall
bladder surgery.

The Raiders said they were saddened by the news and said Sumner
was instrumental in some of the
teams greatest triumphs. Sumner
served three tours as a Raiders
assistant with his most memorable moment coming as defensive
coordinator in the Super Bowl following the 1983 season.
Late in the first half, Sumner
replaced Matt Millen with backup
linebacker Jack Squirek. Squirek
intercepted a pass from Joe
Theismann and ran it in for a score

be surprised if Sonny Gray does
throw a no-hitter one day, said
Vogt, the As catcher.
Gray arrived at the Coliseum at 1
p.m. and spent hours throwing a ball
at the wall as he waited.
He was on it from pitch 1 today,
said Melvin, relieved not to send
Gray out for the ninth in Game 1.
Gray plunked No. 9 hitter
Rougned Odor with a pitch in the
third for the Rangers first baserunner. Zobrist dropped Leonys
Martins fly to left for a two-base
error in the sixth.
Prince Fielder hit a sharp liner to
start the seventh but it went straight
to right fielder Craig Gentry.
Moments later, second baseman Eric
Sogard made a sliding stop on a hardhit grounder by Adrian Beltre. Gray
then struck out Shin-Soo Choo.
Our guys stayed stubborn with
our approach, said new Texas manager Jeff Banister, who lost his
debut. We didnt try to get big with
our swings. We did have some barreled balls, but credit to Sonny. Hes
very capable of doing that on any
given night.
Gray needed only 83 pitches to get
through seven. The 25-year-old
beginning his second full big league
season drew his second consecutive
opening-day assignment, the first
As pitcher to do so since lefty Barry
Zito in 2005 and 2006. Zito is now
back with his original organization
pitching at Triple-A Nashville.
Yovani Gallardo (0-1) had a Texas
debut that was largely forgettable.
Gallardo was chased after four
innings following five straight
opening-day assignments with the

sports science studies, as well as

further develop its out-of-competition (performance-enhancing
drug) testing policy and enrich its
education and prevention programs, UFC said.
Novitzky came to national
prominence during the BALCO
investigation that implicated
Barry Bonds and Marion Jones,
among others, and also led a doping probe of cyclist Lance
Armstrong.

NBA readies Tiger arrives as guessing game begins at Masters

for Cuba trip
By Doug Ferguson

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

By Brian Mahoney
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The NBA is set to become

the first U.S. professional sports league to
visit Cuba since President Barack Obama
ordered diplomatic relations between the countries to be restored.
The league will hold a
four-day
development
camp and host clinics for
youth from April 23-26.
Recently retired two-time
MVP Steve Nash, newly
elected Hall of Famer
Steve
Dikembe Mutombo, and
Nash
former WNBA star Ticha
Penicheiro will take part,
along with NBA coaches
Quin Snyder of Utah and
James
Borrego
of
Orlando.
Obama ordered relations with Cuba to be
normalized in December.
The NBA and FIBA, basDikembe
ketballs world governMutombo
ing body, also will
invite two players and one coach from Cuba
to participate in an upcoming Basketball
without Borders camp for the first time.

AUGUSTA, Ga. Tiger Woods arrived

later than usual Monday for a Masters that is
different from all the others he has played.
No one was sure what to expect from him.
Woods offered a quick glimpse that it
could be just about anything. He hooked his
tee shot so far left that it nearly went into
the ninth fairway. And then he hit a shot to
about 6 feet and rolled in the putt for birdie.
I felt like I had to get my game into a
spot where I felt I could compete to win a
golf tournament and its finally there,
Woods said after playing 11 holes. He
played the front nine with Mark OMeara,
then the 10th and 18th holes before darkness.
More relevant than any of his shots
including his chipping, which looked fine
was the atmosphere.
The first official day of practice at Augusta
National was filled with warmth and optimism for the first major of the year. Rory
McIlroy, No. 1 in the world and going for a
career Grand Slam, played 18 holes with
British Amateur champion Bradley Neil.
Steve Stricker is playing for the first time
all year. Jason Day took four hours on the
back nine alone, letting groups through so
he could chip and putt, the key to winning a
green jacket.
And then Woods arrived.
Fans ran to the side of the practice area
when his cart pulled up, with one man holding a digital camera high above his head for
a picture. Fittingly, Woods headed straight
for the chipping area and went through two
bags of balls before heading to the first tee
with OMeara.
Woods is playing for the first time since

Feb. 5. He was off nearly

five months when he
returned at the Masters in
2010 following the scandal in his personal life,
but he was No. 1 in the
world back then. His last
competition was a victory in the Australian
Tiger Woods Masters.
Now he is No. 111. In
his last tournament this year, he walked off
the course at Torrey Pines after 11 holes.
Before that, he shot 82 and missed the cut in
the Phoenix Open. In both events, he
played 47 holes and hit chips that either
didnt reach the green from 5 yards away or
went some 25 yards over the green.
Thats when he stepped away, saying his
game was not acceptable and he would not
return until it was.
After his opening birdie, Woods tossed a
two balls short of the green to work on his
chipping. He hit 14 chips two balls each
from various hollows around the green to
different pin positions. Most looked reasonable. Some looked good.
Chipping was fine, Woods said. I
wanted to test out some wedges out here.
Thats why I was chipping a little bit more
a couple different bounce settings,
because its a little bit different than
Florida. We figured the right one out.
The real test comes Thursday, when the
shots count. What he showed Monday certainly looked acceptable, and it was a treat
for the fans who normally would be headed
home after a long day at Augusta. The first
hole was packed when Woods and OMeara
teed off at 4:20 p.m., and more than 2,000
kept following him. Dozens of fans raced
over from the second fairway to the fourth
tee to get a good spot.
Remember, youre not supposed to run at
Augusta National.
I hope hes happy. I hope hes fine,
U.S. Open champion Martin Kaymer said. I
hope he will play well this week. But what

would bother me a lot is all the speculation.

You dont have a choice. You will read about
it somewhere. You will hear about it because
you socialize with people. So mentally, it
must be quite exhausting, and we know how
important the mental part is in golf.
So its difficult, and some things I dont
find very fair, he said. You should just let
him be. Let him play golf, what he likes to
do.
The last image of Woods was the best
player of his generation at his worst, especially with the chipping. That led to rampant speculation some coaches, including former swing coach Hank Haney, said he
had the yips. He was said to be practicing
hard at home in Florida. When he showed up
at Augusta National last week to practice,
one report said he shot 74. Another said he
was playing better than ever at home.
The fans who stuck around the Masters
got to see for themselves, at least in practice. The real show starts Thursday, and
everyone is curious.
Were all waiting with baited breath what
Tiger is bringing, three-time champion
Nick Faldo said. Hes got to believe hes
got a bit more game than that. This is not
the place. These are the toughest chipping
areas, but off perfect lies, anywhere in the
world. ... Its all nerve. Thats what the
Masters is. Its nerve. Its the most nervewracking golf course.
Woods looked relatively calms on the
golf course. He reached the par-5 second
hole with ease on his second shot. He
smashed a drive down the short par-4 third
and hit a flip wedge that trickled a few inches by the hole, making a tough shot look
easy. OMeara hit a good tee shot on the par3 fourth. Woods hit it inside that.
I felt good, Woods said. It was nice to
get out here and play it. Its a little bit faster
than what we played last week. Its great.
Woods played twice last week, the last
time on Friday just before ending speculation by saying he would play in the
Masters.

Tax refunds for many

take hit or get bump
from health care law
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON As the April

15 tax deadline nears, people who
got help paying for health insurance under President Barack
Obamas law are seeing the direct
effect on their refunds hundreds
of dollars, for better or worse.
The law offers tax credits so people without access to job-based
health insurance can buy private
coverage. Because these subsidies
are tied to income, consumers must
accurately estimate what they will
make for the coming year.
Thats been a challenge for millions of people.
Guess on the low side, get more
help now with premiums, but owe
money later at filing time.
Overestimate income, expect
bucks back from the taxman.
Many consumers may not have
understood that is how it works
when they signed up. Some experts
caution that such complications
could discourage uninsured people
from getting covered.
Rob Tuck of Dublin, California,
said he had anticipated a refund of
about $400 on his 2014 taxes. But
that almost has been wiped out
because he had to repay some of the
subsidy. He changed jobs during
the year, and his income went up a
little.
Tuck, who works for a San
Francisco area tech-support com-

pany, said he enrolled to avoid tax

penalties for being uninsured, but
feels penalized anyway now.
I was expecting to get dinged a
little bit, but I was actually kind of
surprised when it came down that
much, he said.
Kelsey Park started out 2014 in
Dallas, earning good commissions
by selling wedding gowns. She left
for graduate school at the
University of Alabama in
Tuscaloosa, and signed up for coverage through the law. She ended up
overestimating her income because
she didnt get another job as anticipated.
Parks tax refund came to
$2,500, partly because she had too
much income tax withheld and partly because she received a smaller
health care subsidy than she was
entitled to.
It was hard to estimate what I
would be earning because I was
transitioning in life, said Park,
whos studying for a masters
degree in marketing. I tend to
overestimate because I dont want
to have to pay back, she said.
The average refund is large
enough to offset any repayment in
most cases, according to the
Treasury Department. The White
House says the Affordable Care Act
is working even better than anticipated.
But this is the first year that the
complicated connections between
the law and the tax system are play-

To avoid tax surprises, consumers should contact the health insurance exchange if their income changes during
the year.
ing out for consumers.
Initial reports suggest a fairly
even split between tax-return winners and losers.
Earlier in the filing season, tax
preparation company H&R Block
reported that 52 percent of its customers who got health insurance
subsidies owed money back.
Repayments averaged $530, reducing expected refunds by 17 percent.
On the other hand, roughly onethird of customers with subsidies
overestimated their incomes. As a
result, their refunds went up by
$365 on average.
In a recent study, the nonpartisan
Kaiser Family Foundation estimated that half those eligible for a subsidy would owe money, while 45
percent would receive a bigger
refund.
The estimated average repayment
was $794, and the refund was $773.

The estimates were based on an

analysis of census data about
income changes among people
likely eligible for health care subsidies.
Kaiser calculated that overall
between 4.5 million and 7.5 million households have to account to
the IRS for their subsidies.
This year is a learning experience for consumers and the government alike, said Kaisers
Cynthia Cox. To the extent this
makes people unsure of how much
financial help they are going to
get, it could be a discouragement
for some to sign up.
To avoid tax surprises, consumers should contact the health
insurance exchange if their income
changes during the year.
Tucker Bush, an AmeriCorps
VISTA volunteer in Tacoma,
Washington, basically broke even.

He ended up giving back $19 of his

subsidy, but not before he had
spent an hour trying to figure out
IRS Form 8962, which taxpayers
must use to account for their subsidies.
It caused me a little bit of a
headache, and I have a college
degree, said Bush, who volunteers
at a nonprofit dental clinic for children. If you are trying to help
someone who may not have a college diploma, this is going to be a
nightmare.
Bill Preus of St. Petersburg,
Florida, was covered under the
health care law for three months
last year before transitioning to
Medicare because of disability.
Preus once had his own insurance
agency, selling life and health
policies. He is used to complexity,
but said he never has seen anything
like this.

Medicare bill helps doctors and kids, but deficit foes cool
By Alan Fram
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Republicans say

bipartisan legislation reworking how
Medicare pays doctors is a milestone
toward curbing the huge, growing benefit
program.
Its the first real entitlement reform in
decades, says House Speaker John
Boehner, R-Ohio, using Washington jargon for programs that automatically pay
people who qualify.
Many deficit foes are less impressed.
A look at the debate over how significantly the legislation, which is nearing
congressional approval, would bolster
Medicares finances:

WHATS WRONG WITH MEDICARE?

Nothing a few trillion bucks wouldnt
fix. The program, which helps pay medical bills for more than 50 million elderly
people, is expected to spend more than
$600 billion this year. Thats one-sixth
of the entire federal budget. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office expects
that price tag to nearly double by 2025 as
more baby boomers retire.

WHAT ENTITLEMENT REFORM

IS BOEHNER TALKING ABOUT?
The budget office says the Medicare legislation would cost $214 billion over the
coming decade. The House approved it
overwhelmingly March 26, and Senate
passage seems likely this month.
Besides helping physicians, the bill
finances health care for children and lowincome people. Most of its cost is for

replacing a law that has threatened repeated, steep reductions in physician reimbursements for treating Medicare
patients. Doctors say such cuts, which
Congress usually prevents, could make
them stop seeing Medicare recipients.
Most costs over the next decade
$141 billion would be financed by
making federal deficits even larger. To
pay for around half the rest, federal payments would be reduced to hospitals,
home health care companies and other
providers.
The bill would also squeeze $35 billion
from beneficiaries.
Most $34 billion would come
from raising monthly premiums for medical care and prescription drugs for topearning Medicare recipients beginning in
2 0 1 8 , an d mak i n g addi t i o n al h i g h erincome recipients pay larger premiums
starting in 2020.
An additional $1 billion would come

Medicare spending by $230 billion from
2026 through 2035. This helped win
votes for the bill from House conservatives unhappy over its projected deficit
increases between now and 2025.

WHATS WRONG WITH

THE GOP ARGUMENT?
Critics say saving $35 billion over a
decade pales compared to the nearly $9
trillion Medicare is expected to spend
over that period. Thats a saving of about
one-third of 1 percent.
They say President Barack Obama,
House Republicans and the 2010 bipartisan commission headed by former
Democratic White House chief of staff
Erskine Bowles and former Sen. Alan
Simpson, R-Wyo. , have all proposed
more robust plans for bolstering Medicare
than whats in the bill.
These are wimpy forms of important
policies, said Maya MacGuineas, presiThe hour-long show will follow a series

challenge eager business-minded students

Valley experts. Past speakers have included
Teslas Elon Musk, Box CEO Aaron Levie
and Zappos.com CEO Tony Hsieh, accord-

dent of the bipartisan Committee for a

Responsible Federal Budget.
The critics say Holtz-Eakins estimate
covered only potential savings during the
decade he examined, not the Medicare
bills net expenditures. They note that the
budget office, Holtz-Eakins old employer, warned of considerable uncertainty
over such long-range predictions and said
the bill might save or cost money two
decades from now, with small savings in
the middle of their estimate range.

IS THIS THE FIRST REAL

ENTITLEMENT REFORM IN
DECADES?
Thats debatable.
Under President George W. Bush,
Congress increased Medicare medical premiums for higher-earning recipients for
the first time, as part of the 2003 law creating the programs prescription drug
coverage. The higher premiums started in
2007, and around 5 percent of recipients
pay them today.
Obamas 2010 health care law required
upper-income people to pay higher prescription drug premiums, too.
That law also froze the income levels
above which people pay higher premiums
through 2019, instead of increasing those
thresholds annually with inflation. This
meant more people owed the bigger premiums each year as their incomes grew.
Republicans dont consider those savings true reform because they came packaged with new, expensive benefit programs Medicares prescription drug
coverage and Obamas health care overhaul.
ing to the school.
The varied curriculum includes fundraising strategies and venture capital, branding
and storytelling, predictive analytics, prototyping, competitive combat, law primer
for startups, perfecting a pitch and much
more, according to the school.
Draper, who made recent headlines after
investing millions of dollars on bitcoins
and for his initiative proposal to divide
California into six states, said hes hopeful
his unique model will help viewers reimagine education.
Draper University is extraordinary,
Draper wrote. We challenge many of the
aspects of what used to define a school.

Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig get best marks in diet review

By Lindsey Tanner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO Trying to slim down?

Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig scored
the best marks for effectiveness in a review
of research on commercial diet programs,
but many other plans just havent been
studied enough to evaluate long-term
results.
The two plans are among the most popular and had the best evidence that dieters
could lose meaningful amounts of weight
and keep it off for at least a year, the review
authors said.
Pooling results from several studies, the
researchers found that Weight Watchers
dieters lost an average of at least 8 pounds
and kept it off for at least 12 months versus
about 15 pounds for those using the Jenny
Craig plan.
Most participants remained overweight,
with weight loss of between 3 percent and 5
percent of their initial weight but thats a
range that doctors typically recommend to
achieve healthful benefits including lower
blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
Its a really important first step to
reach, even if it doesnt meet patients
expectations, said study author Dr.
Kimberly Gudzune, an internist and
researcher at Johns Hopkins Universitys
medical school.
The study was published Monday in
Annals of Internal Medicine.
The research review included 39 rigorous
studies involving 11 popular diet programs
that include support or counseling services
and involve fees for products or services.
Most studies compared the programs with
standard diet information or behavioral

Michele Rouse, an administrative coordinator at Johns Hopkins medical school who used to work for Gudzune, says she has lost 7 pounds
since starting on Weight Watchers a month ago and has already seen a drop in her elevated blood pressure.
counseling patients get from health care
providers; long-term results for Weight
Watchers and Jenny Craig were mostly better than the comparisons.
The researchers didnt attempt to make
head-to-head comparisons of different diet
plans. They note that the Affordable Care
Act makes obesity screening and counseling more accessible to many Americans,
and that with two-thirds of U.S. adults overweight or obese, its important for doctors
to know which diet plans work.
Diet companies had no role in the
research, Gudzune said.
Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig include

behavioral counseling, coaching or social

support important for long-term weightloss success, according to an Annals editorial.
Weight Watchers costs about $43 monthly, which includes costs for attending
online or in-person support groups or
coaching sessions. Participants can buy the
companys low-calorie products or buy
their own food, but each item is assigned
points and dieters aim not to exceed a daily
point limit.
Jenny Craig provides pre-made meals and
costs about almost $600 monthly.
Michele Rouse, an administrative coordi-

nator at Johns Hopkins medical school

who used to work for Gudzune, says she has
lost 7 pounds since starting on Weight
Watchers a month ago and has already seen
a drop in her elevated blood pressure. Rouse
said she didnt know much about the new
study and picked Weight Watchers because
shed had success with it years ago.
Its too soon to tell if the program will
help her reach her 70-pound weight loss
goal, but Rouse says its a sensible plan
thats more like a lifestyle change than a
harsh diet.

According to a report from Colliers
International, a commercial real estate
agency, the average rental price for a
square foot of office space across the
county was $4.23 at the end of the first
fiscal quarter, up almost 20 percent
from one year ago, when the average
square foot cost $3.54.
Experts say the increasing rental
prices, combined with declining availability, indicate a thriving local economy, but one that can be difficult for
some businesses to navigate.
Ken Constantino, of Alain Pinel
Realtors in San Mateo, said small
companies, especially startups, are
having difficulty finding office space
in this economy.
He said it is becoming more common
for available office space to get
snapped up before it lands on the open
market, because tenants of a building
are often looking to expand and will
ask their landlord for the rights to
lease before a prospective tenant gets
the opportunity.
Proactive tenants commonly enjoy a
leg up when vying for office space,
because landlords often prefer to have
concentrated bases of renters, and a
building rented at full capacity by as
few tenants as possible is ideal, said
Constantino.
He said the frustrations associated
with finding office space are a byprod-

uct of a thriving local industry.

I think its a sign of a healthy economy, he said. These businesses
arent contracting.
Mike Cobb, senior vice president at
Colliers, echoed those sentiments.
The market just continues its steady
march upwards, he said.
He noted indicators that traditionally are a bellwether of market instability, such as companies subleasing
office space, are basically nonexistent
in the current market.
Square footage is becoming incredibly difficult to come by throughout the
county, as only 8.23 percent of office
space is available, which has dwindled
from a 10.44 percent vacancy rate at
the end of last year, and was at more
than 11 percent at the end of the first
quarter in 2014.
This marks the lowest vacancy rate
for any quarter since 2001, according
to the Colliers report.
On average, office space in San
Mateo is even more expensive than it
is throughout the county, as the cost of
a square foot is $4.36 and prime office
space can cost as much as $4.89 per
square foot, according to the Colliers
report.
Though San Mateo may tout some
the most expensive office rental rates
in the northern region of the county,
prices locally may be considered
cheap, when compared to thriving
cities near the southern border.
The average cost of a square foot of
office space in Menlo Park is $8.10,
and can cost as much as an average of

$9.17 for a square foot of prime real

estate, according to the Colliers
report.
Redwood City is the second most
expensive community for office space
rentals in the county, as the average
square foot costs $4.53.
Burlingame offers the most affordable office space in San Mateo County,
asking only an average of $3.03 per
square foot, and as little as $2.45 on
average for class B and C spaces.
Constantino attributed that to the
abundance of available space in the
industrial regions of the city, but also
noted office space in downtown
Burlingame is some of the most lucrative real estate in the county.
The average cost of renting a square
foot in an industrial building in the
county cost 87 cents, only a cent more
expensive that it was last quarter.
Across the county, industrial space
is more difficult to find than office
space, as the vacancy rate has dropped
down to only 2.62 percent, according
to the report.
Companies that cannot afford to find
any available office space in San
Mateo County may need to consider
broadening their horizon, said Cobb.
Small users are going to have to be
more flexible with their expectations,
and what they are going to be willing
to pay, because its going to be
impacted for a long time, he said.

ment for video mapping, Lochtefeld

said.
I think we will be the only city in
America with permanently-installed
video mapping, Eric Lochtefeld said.
Its the same technology that was
used at Katy Perrys halftime show at
the Super Bowl, he said.
Councilman Ian Bain is hopeful this
will be another draw to get Redwood
City residents to get out and enjoy
their downtown.
This is a great public benefit that
businesses are providing, Bain said.
Eric Lochtefeld, a former concert promoter, was inspired by the laser light
shows that take place weekly at the
harbor in Hong Kong.
He has since worked with the citys
Parks and Recreation Department and
the Redwood City/San Mateo County
Chamber of Commerce.
Eric Lochtefeld and chamber
President Amy Buckmaster were instrumental in getting downtown businesses to buy into the improvement association.
We walked door to door to talk to
property owners about it being our turn
to step up, Eric Lochtefeld said about
getting downtown businesses to contribute to the upkeep of downtown.

The Redwood City Improvement

Association is a nonprofit that gets a
portion of property tax revenue from
the downtown core to support initiatives that boost business in the area.
It will spend some of its $800,000 in
revenue this year on sidewalk cleaning,
security, lighting and valet parking.
Lori Lochtefeld, who heads marketing for the association, is also coordinating the production of some television commercials to drive commerce
downtown.
Courthouse Square attracts 3,000 to
5,000 people for concerts on Friday
nights and Eric Lochtefeld hopes the
Tuesday night light show will help do
the same.
We want to entertain the public and
drive business downtown on and off
night, he said.
The shows are at 8 p.m. and 9 p.m.
but will only last for about 15 minutes.
This is not something you want to
be late for, he said.
