Water mandates over for county residents


Local suppliers follow SFPUCs 10 percent voluntary drought cutbacks

San Mateo County will once


again be on the same page well,
as far as drought-related orders and
water conservation is concerned.
Local residents are no longer

cut back 10 percent.


The prior patchwork of different
regulatory tiers various local
cities and utilities in the county
had under Gov. Jerry Browns landmark conservation requirements
has, for now, been eliminated.
Whether you live in San Bruno
which previously had a low 8 percent cutback requirement, or in

Hillsborough where residents


faced the highest 36 percent mandate, everyone in San Mateo
County is now back to a 10 percent voluntary reduction.

Whether you rent or are a landlord in San Mateo, the November


election may have a big effect on
your housing situation. On
Monday, tenant protection advocates turned in over 11,000 signatures seeking a citizens vote on
rent stabilization measures
such as capping rent increases at 4
percent or preventing unjust evictions.
The ballot initiative came on the
heels of a tumultuous debate
amongst the community when the
San Mateo City Council formed a
housing task force as rents have
reportedly increased nearly 50 per-

cent over the last four years. But


ultimately, officials didnt enact
measures such as rent control,
requiring relocation assistance for
those who face steep rent increases, or preventing tenants from
being evicted without cause.
A similar movement is in the
works in Burlingame and, on
Monday, June 27, San Mateo
advocates delivered boxes full of
signatures after nearly 200 volunteers spent about two months canvassing the city in which nearly
half of its residents rent.

Private school seeks loan for expansion


Crystal Springs Uplands wants to buy property in Belmont
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Crystal Springs Uplands School is seeking a $32 million tax-exempt loan to pay
for the new middle school campus it will
build in Belmont.
On Tuesday, the San Mateo County
Board of Supervisors will conduct a public
hearing under the Tax Equity and Fiscal
Responsibility Act related to approving
the issuance of bonds to fund the acquisition of land and construction of a new
school campus on Davis Drive in the
Belmont hills.
The bonds will be issued by the
California Municipal Finance Authority, a
joint powers agency in which the county
is a member.
The authority was created in 2004 to
promote economic, cultural and community development through the financing of
economic development and charitable
activities throughout the state.
Since Hillsborough-based Crystal
Springs Uplands is a nonprofit and the
new school will provide a public benefit,
it is eligible for bond financing from the
authority.
The authority is a public entity and the
debts, liabilities and obligations it incurs
do not constitute debts, liabilities or obligations of its members. The county is simply a vehicle to hold the public hearing,
according to county counsel, and will not
be liable to pay back any part of the loan.

Comment on
or share this story at
www.smdailyjournal.com
In fact, the county will receive 25 percent of the issuance fee from the authority,
totaling approximately $10,333, according to a report by County Counsel John
Beiers.
The authority will issue the bonds and
the proceeds will be used to make a loan to
the school to pay for about 6.24 acres of
land at 6-8 and 10 Davis Drive, just off of
Ralston Avenue.
The money will be used to construct an
academic building and multi-purpose
building among other facilities. Some of
the money will also be used for renovations and improvements of the upper
school campus in Hillsborough, according
to Beiers report.
Crystal Springs Uplands plans to open
the middle school in fall of 2017, said
spokeswoman Betsy Berman.
The school had tried to previously
expand into Belmont but was shot down
by the City Council in late 2012 after a
lengthy application process.
The council, on a 3-2 vote, opted not to
change zoning rules to allow for a school
use on land zoned for offices.
CSUS ended up spending hundreds of
thousands of dollars on designing the
project after the council initially showed
its favor during a preliminary design

review of the project back in April 2011.


In April of this year, however, the City
Council voted unanimously to allow the
school to expand into Belmont after it
offered a slew of incentives ranging from
paying annual in-lieu of property tax fees
as well as covering the installation cost of
a traffic light near Davis Drive.
CSUS will now proceed with redeveloping the aging business park into a middle
school campus with 60,000 square feet of
building space to accommodate up to 240
students and 43 staff. It will be constructed
in two phases, starting first with an academic center, multi-purpose building,
gymnasium, storage, sports courts and
artificial turf field. An enclosed pool has
been proposed for the second phase.
CSUS agreed to give the city a one-time
$1 million payment, $250,000 a year inlieu of property taxes increased for inflation, have a robust as well as enforceable
traffic demand management plan, install a
traffic signal at South Road and Ralston
Avenue and stagger its start times so as
not to align with other local schools.
The San Mateo County Board of
Superv isors will conduct the public hearing at its regular meeting, 9 a.m. Tuesday,
June 28, 400 County Center, Redwood
City.

Brown signs budget of more than $122B


By Jonathan J. Cooper
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown


signed a state budget Monday that uses
a slice of Californias revenue surplus
to boost assistance for the poor and
send more money to universities but
keeps other new ongoing spending
commitments to a minimum.
In negotiating with Democratic legislative leaders on the $122.5 billion
spending plan, Brown secured a commitment to boost the states rainy day
fund, pay down debts and use cash
instead of debt for building maintenance and construction.
Using billions for savings and onetime purposes is a victory for the
Democratic governor, who warns
repeatedly that Californias current
budget surpluses are based largely on
capital gains income of wealthy taxpayers. That revenue will quickly
plummet during economic difficulties,
he says, forcing the state to take back
money approved during the boom
times.
This solid budget makes responsible investments in California and sets
aside billions of dollars to prepare for
the next recession, Brown said in a
statement announcing that he has
signed the budget.

News briefs
Recovery underway in West
Virginia town built to carry on
RAINELLE, W.Va. When the torrential rains stopped in
the tiny West Virginia town of Rainelle, the volunteers
started showing up. By Monday, a small food line at a shopping plaza had ballooned from a couple of hundred hot dogs
and hamburgers to a feast for flood victims everything
from bananas to cupcakes to nachos and more hot dogs.
Behind the food line, a large room was filled halfway to the
ceiling with bags of donated clothing.
As volunteers sorted the items, the extent of last
Thursdays deluge came into clearer focus: Thousands of
homes and businesses were damaged or destroyed and at
least 23 people were killed when up to 9 inches of rain fell
in a short span, causing perhaps the worst flooding the
state has seen in three decades.
More than 400 people were living in shelters across the
state.

REUTERS

Jerry Brown speaks in Los Angeles.


Brown has suggested that hell later
be judged on how well the budget
weathers the next recession. His predecessors saw their popularity plummet
when they were forced to accept steep
spending cuts, he said.
I dont want to repeat these errors,
because we had two governors who
were riding high. And paradoxically,
that very moment when everyones
feeling the best is the very moment
when the recession is about to hit,

Brown said last month. So instead of


pulling back in the last two recessions, the state of California accelerated its spending and therefore made the
budget cuts all the more painful.
In a rare move, Brown did not use his
line-item veto authority to erase any
specific budget items, leaving the
budget the Legislature approved intact.
His signature allows state agencies to
continue operating for another year
after June 30.

SACRAMENTO Authorities were anticipating violence


as a white nationalist group planned a demonstration at the
California Capitol, and they brought in more than 100 officers to patrol the grounds.
But after 10 people were hurt Sunday, they faced criticism
Monday about whether they were properly prepared or too
slow to get involved when the demonstration quickly turned
violent in a clash with a larger group of counter-protesters.
It was basically a free-for-all, said Cres Vellucci, an
observer with the National Lawyers Guild. I was just
appalled that nothing seemed to be done.
He said his group was there to watch for police overreaction, but in this case the opposite happened.

Democrat panel: Hillary Clinton never


personally denied Benghazi security
By Matthew Daly
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Hillary Clinton never


personally denied any requests from diplomats for additional security at the U.S. outpost in Benghazi, Libya, according to
Democrats on a select House panel who
absolved the former secretary of state and the
U.S. military of wrongdoing in the deadly
Sept. 11, 2012, attacks.
In a report Monday pre-empting the

Texas illegally curbs abortion


clinics, Supreme Court rules
By Mark Sherman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Supreme Court


issued its strongest defense of abortion
rights in a quarter-century Monday, striking
down Texas widely replicated rules that
sharply reduced abortion clinics in the
nations second-most-populous state.
By a 5-3 vote, the justices rejected the
states arguments that its 2013 law and follow-up regulations were needed to protect
womens health. The rules required doctors
who perform abortions to have admitting
privileges at nearby hospitals and forced
clinics to meet hospital-like standards for
outpatient surgery.
The clinics that challenged the law argued
that it was merely a veiled attempt to make
it harder for women to get abortions by
forcing the closure of more than half the
roughly 40 clinics that operated before the
law took effect.
Justice Stephen Breyers majority opinion for the court held that the regulations
are medically unnecessary and unconstitutionally limit womens right to abortions.

Breyer wrote that the surgical-center


requirement, like the admitting privileges
requirement, provides few, if any, health
benefits for women, poses a substantial
obstacle to women seeking abortions and
constitutes an undue burden on their constitutional right to do so.
Thirteen states have similar requirements,
enacted as part of a wave of abortion restrictions that states have imposed in recent
years. Others include limits on when in a
pregnancy abortions may be performed and
the use of drugs that induce abortions without surgical intervention.
Amy Hagstrom Miller, the owner of several Texas clinics among her eight facilities
in five states, predicted that the decision
would put a stop to this trend of copycat
legislation.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said
the law was an effort to improve minimum
safety standards and ensure capable care for
Texas women. Its exceedingly unfortunate
that the court has taken the ability to protect womens health out of the hands of
Texas citizens and their duly elected representatives.

Homes burned, looted


in Fallujah after defeat
By Susannah George
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FALLUJAH, Iraq Dozens of


homes were looted and burned as
Fallujah was liberated from the
Islamic State group, and Iraqi government forces Monday accused
the retreating militants. Some
provincial police, however,
blamed the fires on Shiite militias
operating with the federal police.
The allegations of sectarian
incidents in Fallujah are on a much
smaller scale than those that
unfolded in another Sunni-majority city, Tikrit, after governmentsanctioned Shiite militias helped
retake it from the IS group. The
Iraqi government had sought to try
to prevent similar abuses in the
Fallujah campaign.
Iraqi forces declared Sunday they
had fully liberated Fallujah from
the Sunni-led extremist group that

took over the city 40 miles (65


kilometers) west of Baghdad more
than two years ago. The operation, backed by airstrikes from a
U.S.-led coalition, began May 22,
and involved a number of different
Iraqi security forces: elite special
operations troops, federal police,
Anbar provincial police, and an
umbrella group of governmentapproved mostly Shiite militias.
Thick clouds of black smoke
billowed over the Julan neighborhood in northwestern Fallujah,
one of the last strongholds of the
militants, from dozens of burning
homes.

Heading out of town: Independence Day travel to break record


By Scott Mayerowitz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Its going to be a


busy holiday weekend on the
nations highways.
A record 43 million Americans
are expected to travel this
Independence Day weekend, with
the overwhelming majority driving, according to AAA, a car lob-

bying group and one of the


nations largest travel agencies.
This tops the joint record set last
year and in 2007.
Lower gas prices, strong consumer confidence and a generally
healthy domestic economy have
led more families to take trips this
summer.
AAA estimates that U.S. drivers
have saved $20 billion on gasoline so far this year compared to

the same period last year. Gas


prices as of June 20 were 46 cents
per gallon below prices from a
year ago.
We are well on our way for
2016 to be a record-breaking year
for summertime travel, said AAA
President and CEO Marshall
Doney.
Ahead of last years holiday,
AAA predicted that 41.9 million
people would travel 50 miles or

more from home during the weekend. AAA has since revised that
number to say that 42.3 million
people actually traveled. This
years estimate the highest
since AAA started tracking in
2001 is for 42.9 million travelers with 84 percent of them driving.
The holiday travel period is
defined as Thursday, June 30 to
Monday, July 4.

Budget battles

Letters to the editor


Child abuse meets animal abuse
Editor,
Once again, the Woodside Mounted
Patrol plans to feature a brutal pig
scramble at its annual July 4 rodeo.
This event is dangerous for all concerned. The pigs are terried and
roughly handled by hordes of screaming children. This cruelty should be
dropped from the program.
This is a terrible message to send to
impressionable young children about
the proper treatment of animals. The
California State Education Code mandates that schools with grades kindergarten to 12 teach compassion and
kindness to animals. A pig scramble
is the antithesis of that. How long
before some kid gets a pigs hoof in
the eye? These abused piglets are
already en route to the slaughterhouse.
Must we also abuse them beforehand
in the name of entertainment?
The Woodside Town Council meets
7:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 28, at 2955
Woodside Road. The public is urged to
attend. Surely, the Mounted Patrol can
come up with a more compassionate
and life-afrming event than this nonsense. Pigs and children alike deserve
better.
As Tennessee Williams once wrote,
Cruelty is the only unforgivable sin.
Abolish the pig scramble.

Nothing to fear but


Islamophobia itself
Editor,
I dont question a persons religious beliefs. At the height of the
Orlando massacre, Omar Mateen
allegedly described himself, during a
911 call, as an Islamic soldier.
How dare we contradict that notion?
In his address to the nation following the massacre, President Obama
told us that use of the term radical
Islam may turn peaceable young
Muslims into radicals and make
America less safe.
That sounds mighty Islamophobic
to me.
If someone is afraid that the mere
use of terminology is likely to cause
normally peaceful people to take up
weapons and murder their nonMuslim neighbors, thats patently
irrational. President Obama must
believe that peaceable young
Muslims are mentally unstable.
If not, why would he think that the
mere use of the words radical Islam
would send them into a murderous
rage?
If we have anything to fear, it
would be Islamophobia itself,
because it is, by denition, irrational. The president just helped us
understand that.

Trump the hoax


Editor,
I think Donald Trump overestimated
the common sense and knowledge of
his supporters. Many people will
agree that he only wanted the publicity
and his name in lights and had no
intention of ever being the president.
His ridiculous and outrageous statements were his way to draw attention
to himself for the publicity and be sure
that the populace would not vote for
someone that far from reality.
Unfortunately, he overestimated the
common sense and underestimated the
level of racism, bigotry and hate of
the right wing.
A lot of people are confused by the
Republican leaders who denounce what
he says, and then turn around and say
they will support him. The answer is
quite simple. He says what they want
to say, which allows them to be able
to smile privately while they scorn
publicly.
Just remember the translation of his
slogan on his red cap. Trump, Making
America Hate Again.

Gun control
Editor,
There are two gun control bills that
should have passed the Senate last
week. Ninety percent of American
want expanded background checks.
The numbers reect all types of
Americans, including NRA members.
One bill wouldve closed the loophole for gun shows and the internet.
The other wouldve prevented gun
sales to anyone on the no y list.
But the Republicans and some
Democrats voted those down. They
are afraid of the NRA. You see, the
NRA ratings they issue to each

them than 90 percent of American

with the current administrations censorship of any attempts to identify

ts said that Baron Rothschild once remarked that only


two men in the world understood gold, nance and the
balance of payments a director of the Bank of
France and an obscure clerk in the Bank of England.
Unfortunately, he added, they disagree.
The same might be said about the California state budget,
that only the director of the Department of Finance and an
obscure clerk in the Senate committee on Budget and Fiscal
Review truly understand it, and yes, they disagree.
The budget is a mind-numbing
document that encompasses hundreds of pages and over 1,045
funds, with the General Fund
being the most well-known. The
annual budget process starts in
July with program managers submitting budget change proposals
to department directors, who
then submit them to the agencies, who in turn submit them to
the Department of Finance,
which submits them to the
Governors Ofce, which nally
John McDowell
provides the governors budget
to the Legislature in January. That is then reviewed and
marked up by the appropriate subcommittees and committees in each chamber, then voted on and ... are you asleep
yet?
Yet understanding the California budget (or any government entitys budget) is critical to guring out how politicians are using and abusing the taxes they impose on you
and how well-funded special interests be it prison guards,
nurses, charter schools or oil companies are getting their
way in the halls of power.
At a record $122.5 billion for the General Fund in scal
year 2016-17, this budget is nearly $7 billion more than
last years and almost $270 billion overall. It increases
spending on a host of programs, yet notably does not fund
infrastructure repairs and investments in our states deteriorating (as any commuter knows) roads, bridges and tunnels.
Why is that? Why is a core function and high priority of
state government woefully underfunded? The answer is that
the progressive-liberals who run Sacramento know that citizens are aware of the state of our broken infrastructure and
demand repair. Their ploy is to fund all of their priorities at
the expense of infrastructure and then present voters with
yet another tax to repair our roads; all the while knowing
well accept the higher tax if were sold on the idea that its
the only way. But of course it isnt prioritizing the fundamental needs of Californias citizens is.
Instead of funding fundamental priorities, Sacramento
politicians threw an additional $1 billion toward the failed
high-speed rail boondoggle. They upped fees paid on vehicle registration to raise $1.7 billion over ve years to fund
the DMV, Air Resources Board and other departments, but
not a dime of it to go toward road repair.
Moreover, they set aside $1.3 billion for new buildings
for bureaucrats in Sacramento. As part of proposal, potential
environmental reviews are streamlined to speed up court
challenges. That is, the California Environmental Quality
Act that the Legislature forces the rest of us to live under is
summarily overturned so that the buildings for bureaucrats
can go up without a hitch. Is it that these buildings are so
environmentally friendly that legal review is unnecessary,
or is it that the legislature recognizes the difculties CEQA
imposes and so haughtily refuses to follow it?
The Sacramento Bee reports that the Big Three of
Democrat Gov. Jerry Brown, Democrat Assembly Speaker
Anthony Rendon and Democrat Senate President Pro Tem
Kevin de Leon negotiated all of this. Notice what that leaves
out? You and the elected ofcials who supposedly represent
you in Sacramento. Instead, after almost a year of budget
process the result comes down to a smoke-lled backroom
where deals are cut that directly control the quality of your
life. Your representative is then expected to fall in line and
vote for whatever the Big Three decide.
Theres more, including the so-called budget trailer bills
that implement legislative changes required to enact certain
budget provisions. In the Assembly, these bills were not
subject to hearings and were voted on with no public input.
Two of them, the resources trailer bill (SB 839) and the energy trailer bill (SB 840) were passed off the Assembly oor
with legislative language that was only publicly available
for a day. Much mischief has been slipped into trailer bills
by well-funded special interests in the past and, unfortunately, that will continue in the future.
The California state budget is enormously complex. I am
neither the director of Finance nor the obscure clerk, so I am
condent in saying that there is much about it I dont understand. However, I am also condent in saying that without a
basic understanding of the document and the process
involved, active and involved citizens cannot push back
against the skewed priorities of the progressive-liberal
establishment or that of their well-heeled special interest
backers.

with an additional payment of between

U.K. credit rating slashed, David


Cameron insists economy robust
By Jill Lawless and Danica Kirka
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON Prime Minister David


Cameron insisted Monday that Britains
shock vote to leave the European Union
wont send the economy into a tailspin,
even as the country was stripped of its top
credit rating and stock markets and the pound
continued a downward spiral.
Calling the vote a seminal event that
will lead to a less predictable, stable and
effective policy framework in the U.K,
Standard & Poors knocked the U.K.s sovereign rating by two notches, from AAA to
AA. Hours later, Fitch Ratings followed suit,
downgrading the country to AA, from AA+.
Both agencies said they were keeping a
negative outlook on their ratings, which
means they could downgrade the country further. Standard and Poors cited risks to the
economy and public finances, the pounds
role as an international reserve currency and
risks to the constitutional and economic
integrity of the U.K. as Scotlands strong
vote to remain in the EU could raise the
prospect of another referendum on Scottish
independence.
Speaking earlier in the day as the House of
Commons met for the first time since last
weeks referendum, Cameron insisted the
British economy was robust and could withstand the shockwaves.
It is clear that markets are volatile, there
are some companies considering their
investments and we know this is going to be

far from plain sailing, Cameron told lawmakers. However, we should take confidence from the fact that Britain is ready to
confront what the future holds for us from a
position of strength.
Despite the uncertainty fueling financial
instability, leaders in both Britain and the
EU signaled there would be no immediate
start to negotiations on an EU exit.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel met
with her French and Italian counterparts and
said we agree there will be no formal or
informal talks until the British government
officially declares its intention to quit by
invoking Article 50 of the EU treaty.
The statement appeared to scotch hopes by
Conservative lawmaker Boris Johnson and
his Vote Leave campaign to hold preliminary
talks on the general outlines of a deal before
Article 50 triggers a two-year countdown to a
British exit.
Earlier, Merkel said she understood that
Britain may need a certain amount of time
to analyze things, but said a long-term
suspension of the question wouldnt be in
either sides economic interest.
Cameron announced last week he would
resign by the fall after failing to persuade a
majority of voters to back continued EU
membership, saying his successor should be
the one to navigate Britains departure from
the EU.
Cameron said he spoke Monday with
Merkel and French President Francois
Hollande, and made plain this was not the
time to start the process.

Langi launches career to new heights


By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Shot putter and discus thrower Tulouna


Langi had everything she needed to leave her
mark at Mills. She had one of the best throws
coaches around in Pat Lewis, brother of longtime CSM throws coach Mike Lewis, and she
was just the latest in a long line of strong
throwers to come out of the Millbrae school.
The one thing working against Langi was
her health. She tore the medial collateral ligament in her knee her sophomore year and
while she returned to the thrower's circle the
following season, she was still just a bit off.
What did Langi's senior year hold for her?
Turns out plenty. Now completely recovered
from the knee injury, Langi's throws soared
to distances no one in their right mind would
ever expect. She fell just short of making the
state meet with a pair of fourth-place finishes at the Central Coast Section championships, but set new personal records along
the way to earn the San Mateo Daily Journal
Girls' Track and Field Athlete of the Year.
It was a complete offseason (of training), said Mills head coach Tim Tuff. She
had a bad injury her sophomore year. Junior
year was a good comeback, but (last summer)
was the first time she had a long period of
sustained, quality training.
Langi said she went to a throwers camp at
Brigham Young University that helped her
refine her technique, which was her biggest
hurdle to overcome coming off the knee injury.
Junior year I was still getting back, relearning my technique and stuff, Langi said. Not
until senior year did I feel right (in my knee).

Vintage Smoke recaptures glory days with Sonoma victory


By Jenna Fryer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SONOMA Tony Stewart sat slumped on


the stairs inside his team transporter a year
ago reflecting on the worst slump of his
NASCAR career.
He had a migraine that day at Sonoma
Raceway and spoke softly about his plight.
Stewart didnt know what to do to return to
his glory days. He had no idea how to adapt
to NASCARs rules package and seemed thoroughly defeated.
Asked that day about his confidence, he
meekly admitted he was suffering.
Whats that? I should Google that and see
if I can find the meaning of that word,
Stewart said. I dont have any confidence.
That shell of Stewart was nowhere to be
found at Sonoma over the weekend, where
Smoke was in vintage form. He was cranky,
candid and comical. All the ingredients that
make him competitive.
So when Denny Hamlin slipped by him in
the seventh turn of the final lap in Sundays
race on the road course where Stewart has
been such a force for so many years, no one
doubted that this throwback version of the
three-time champ would bullishly try to
seize the lead and the win.
He made his move in tricky turn 11, where
Hamlin overshot the corner and left enough
room for Stewart to squeeze inside. Stewart
then ran him up the track and into the wall as
he charged toward the finish line and his first
checkered flag in three years.
Stewarts peers pumped their fists out their
windows to applaud him. Some ran to his car,
or met him in victory lane. Crew members
lined the wall to high-five him as he celebrated. It was a show of support not often seen in
NASCAR, maybe not since the late Dale
Earnhardts win in the 1998 Daytona 500.
Even Hamlin, who had just given the race

away, went to congratulate his former teammate and one-time mentor.
Tony has been ultra-fair to me. Hes treated me really well my entire career, Hamlin
said. Its not like I gave him one by any
means. He gave us an opportunity to move
him, we did, and then we got it back.
It was an important win for Stewart, who is
retiring at the end of the year, and for
NASCAR, which needs its biggest stars in
the spotlight. The win will earn Stewart a
spot in the championship field should he
crack the top-30 in points, and hes currently 32nd in the standings but only nine
points back.
More important than making the Chase,

Lindros headlines HOF class


By Stephen Whyno
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Eric Lindros knew exactly what day and


time the Hockey Hall of Fame would call. He
was just hoping his phone would ring this
time after six years of silence.
Rogie Vachon had given up hoping after
30-plus years of eligibility. And when his
moment came, Sergei Makarov exclaimed,
Oh my gosh, the wait is over!
The waiting ended for Lindros, Vachon and
Makarov on Monday as they were elected as
part of the class of 2016 along with the late
coach and executive Pat Quinn. With no

first-time eligible players worthy of consideration, they were able to go


from the longtime waiting room into the hall.
Because concussions
and other injuries cut his
career short, Lindros was
passed over for the honor
Eric Lindros six previous times. But
his Hart Trophy-winning
season as NHL MVP with the Flyers in 1995,
his 865 points in 760 games, and his overall dominance and international success
ended up being too much to keep him out.

though, is that it showed Stewart is still the


same guy he was before three years of
injuries, on-track mediocrity and personal
perils. He struggled mightily after breaking
his leg in a 2013 crash, then was emotionally devastated after accidentally striking and
killing driver Kevin Ward during a New York
sprint car race in 2014. Hes facing a civil
suit filed by the drivers family.
He announced last year that 2016 would be
his final season as a NASCAR driver, and
there have been times some have wondered
why he even bothered. He broke his back a
week before the season opened and missed
the first eight races before returning for a
farewell tour that had been kind of meh until

Bickford, Cyr combine on 1-hitter


after recent promotion to San Jose
Giants prospects Phil Bickford and Tyler Cyr
were nothing short of sensational for over two
months with the Low-A Augusta Greenjackets.
Since the two have been promoted to High-A
San Jose, its been more of the same.
The duo, along with fellow right-hander
Pat Young, combined on a one-hit shutout
Monday in San Joses 5-0 win over
Bakersfield at Municipal Stadium. Young
earned the win in relief, working two hitless
innings to improve his record to 5-1.
Bickford, in his second start with San
Jose, allowed one hit while striking out
seven against three walks. The Giants No. 1

the last two weeks.


But Stewart is finally comfortable again in
his car and is adjusting to a first-year crew
chief. His performance has picked up of late,
and with it came the fiery side of Stewart that
has been missing for so long. He was once
again the closest thing to A.J. Foyt, his
childhood hero, that this generation has ever
seen.
No one thought there would ever be another Foyt, but Stewart proved them wrong. But
there wont ever be another Stewart, not in
this politically correct day and age of not
upsetting the apple cart or the sponsors who
pay the bills.
Playing it safe never appealed to Stewart,
and he never backed down to corporate pressure. Theres been no fine big enough to
make Stewart play Mr. Nice Guy, and
NASCAR popped him for $35,000 days
before his return to the car this year for criticizing what he felt was a lack of attention to
a safety issue.
His anger at Sonoma all weekend seemed
centered on driver etiquette and the lack of a
garage police chief to teach younger drivers
the code. Thats the way Stewart learned, and
he doesnt understand why current drivers
dont follow the same rules. In a pre-race
interview with Fox, he derisively said with
Jeff Gordons retirement last year and his
coming up fast, there was no one with
enough, ahem, courage to keep the new generation in check.
Stewart is right. Hes a dying breed, a
throwback to the golden era, a bull in the
china shop who should be revered as a rare
gem.
His win on Sunday proved hes still got
something left for this final ride, and hopefully he will enjoy it and give the fans something to cheer. After that, he will leave a void
that NASCAR will never be able to fill. Not
with someone like Smoke.

In her first meet of the year, Langi

Those improvements in the shot

up in the discus. After struggling
to hit 100 feet her junior year and
posting a PR of 106, she finished
her senior season with a throw just

The funny thing is, I usually do

early on she had

into
some unknown

talent
that enabled her
Tulouna Langi to throw the
discus even further than she could have imagined.
I don't know if we had any
expectations (in the discus). Her
best throw coming into the year
was 106. She liked the shot put
better and always had a little more
talent, but she was still into the
discus and it all came together.
Langi topped the 120-foot mark
at the Serra thrower's meet in late
March and struggled to find that
form again until CCS. She finished
second to teammate Julia Gibbs in
the PAL championships with a
throw of just over 115 feet.
She exploded in her next meet,
however, uncorking a 129-foot
throw in CCS qualifying. She

of which was somewhat tarnished

tiebreaker. Both Langi and Salinas'
D'vina Brown finished with identical distances of 133-1. But Brown
claimed the last spot into the state
meet with a second-best throw
longer than Langi.
I was pretty bummed out,
Langi said, but she was buoyed by
her season-long performance in
what was supposed to be her secondary throw.
My good throws, I wasn't even
thinking. I threw it and it came off
(my hand) so nicely, Langi said.
Despite her newfound excellence
in the discus, she still had a
tremendous season of shot put.
She took first place in five invitational meets and also won the PAL
title, where her throw of 41-4 1/2
in the finals was her personal best
eclipsing the mark of 41-4 she
established at Serra's Top 7
Invitational in April. She would go
over the 40-foot mark in both CCS
qualify and CCS finals to cap her
extraordinary year.
Just looking at myself improve
from last year to this point, I'm
proud of myself, Langi said.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

TENNIS
Continued from page 11
His 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 victory over
54th-ranked Ricardo Berankis
before a wildly supportive and
singing crowd of fellow Brits at tiny
Court 17 was by far the most intriguing development on Day 1 of the
grass-court Grand Slam tournament.
There were ho-hum straight-set victories for past champions Federer,
Novak Djokovic and Venus
Williams, for example, and a halfdozen exits by lower-seeded players.
Willis truly made news, becoming the worst-ranked qualifier to
reach the second round at any
major since No. 923 Jared Palmer
at the 1988 U.S. Open.
One of the best stories in a
long time in our sport, said
Federer, who beat Guido Pella 7-6
(5), 7-6 (3), 6-3 in his return to
Grand Slam tennis after missing
the French Open with a bad back.
Willis take on his surprising success: This doesnt happen, really.
So how DID it happen?
As a teen, Willis appeared to be an
up-and-coming junior, reaching the
third round of the Wimbledon boys
tournament in 2007 and 2008, but
injuries and what he describes as a
lack of dedication derailed his career.
Tore my hamstring twice. Hurt
my knee earlier this year. Had a bit
of a rough phase. I was down,
struggling to get out of bed in the
morning, Willis said.
I was a bit of a loser. I was over-

weight, he said.
I just looked
myself in the
mirror
(and)
said, Youre better than this.
He says he was
close to abandoning hope of a
Marcus Willis pro career, considering a move
to Philadelphia to teach tennis,
when his new girlfriend told him to
keep trying to play.
I met the girl. She told me not to
(quit), so I didnt, Willis said with a
smile. Do what Im told.
Fast-forward to this month, when
he was the last man invited to participate in a playoff for British players to earn a wild card into
Wimbledon qualifying. Willis won
three matches there, then another
three in qualifying to get into the
main draw.
And then the left-handed serveand-volleyer defeated Berankis by
saving 19 of 20 break points and
hitting 14 aces while using what
he describes as an unorthodox
mix of spins. Afterward, Willis
raced to the stands to kiss his girlfriend before being swallowed by a
group hug from a bunch of longtime friends.
By getting to the second round,
Willis is guaranteed at least 50,000
pounds (about $65,000). Not bad for
someone whose prize money in
2016 had been about $350 and
that figure includes singles and doubles.
His career earnings when he
arrived at Wimbledon were under
$100,000.

We Serve

In my short 8 years being a member of the Millbrae Lions Club and


current President, I have come
to respect our members for their
commitment to the youth in our
community. Millbrae Lions continue to support our youth by
advocating for, advising, demonstrating leadership and financially supporting them. In turn Millbrae has much to be proud of in
our youth.
Youth Week is a highlight of the
year. Co-Chaired by Lion Steve
Luzaich and Lion Past President
Paul Larson, we have many young
people participating in a number
of activities to include Student
Essay Contest and Youth in Government The Student Essay contest had participants from Taylor
Middle School

Government was primarily Mills students who shadow members of the


City Council and major departments
of Millbrae Government.
We had a very impressive number
of students this year. Millbrae
should be proud of the accomplishments of these young people.
They demonstrated their leadership and commitment to community.
The future of Millbrae is in good
hands and we may have a number
of future Lions to carry on the tradition.
Thank you to Lion Steve for his
20th year as Chair of Youth in Government and LPP Paul for continuing his fathers legacy in working
with Youth.

Student Essay Contest

Millbrae Lions Club Celebrating


56 Years of Youth Week

2016 marks the 56th year of


the Millbrae Lions Club hosting
Youth Week in Millbrae. This
annual event, which celebrates
Youth in our community, has
evolved over the years while
staying focused on offering imaginative projects for local students
to participate in. The current
activities include Youth in Government; the Student Essay
Contest; and the Excellence
Youth Week Newspaper Chair
in Mentoring Award (Educator
Lion PP Paul Larson
of the Year). Youth Weeks
pinnacle is a special Awards Dinner designed to acknowledge
students who are developing into our future leaders, along
with those adults who are helping them along their way. This
years Youth Week Awards Dinner took place on the evening
of Wednesday, April 20th at the El Rancho Inn Terrace Caf
Palm Room beginning at 7:00 PM.

Regarding the Student Essay Contest:


Every year the Millbrae Lions Club sponsors a Student
Essay Contest during Youth Week. This year local schools,
from 4th grade up through High School, received a flyer
listing the Essay Contest rules, along with specific topics to
write about. The topics for this year were:
A. Firearms in America: Is this a problem or a solution?
Explain.
B. What leadership qualities would you like to see in our
next President of the United States?
C. Bullies at school: As a student leader describe how you
would tackle this ongoing problem.
D. Describe a person in your life (family, school,
community) whom you admire and why.
E. Who am I? Who is the real me now, and the real me
Id like to be?
Scores of essays were turned in from many different
schools for the judging at Taylor Middle School. After examining each essay, 6 student authors were found to stand out
among the rest.
Each student was surprised with a special phone call
informing them of their winning essay, and an invitation
which included their parents and teacher to attend the Youth
Week Awards Dinner at the El Rancho Inn Palm Room in
Millbrae. This annual semi-formal event honors the winning
students for not only writing an exemplary essay, but for also
being exemplary themselves!
The first winners to be announced were in the 4th and 5th
grade categories:
Second Place winner was 5th grader Justin Kang from
Green Hills School.
First Place winner was 5th grader Katelyn Chang from
Meadows School.

In brief: The 2016 EXCELLENCE IN MENTORING

Regarding the Excellence in Mentoring Award:

In 2009 I was President of the Millbrae Lions Club


and wanted to create a way for us to show appreciation
to community leaders who give of themselves to educate
our youth. That year we enthusiastically bestowed a brand
new Excellence in Mentoring Award upon Millbrae
educator Robert Silva. Keeping up with that original spirit
it has been an honor each year to acknowledge, admire
and say thank you to an extraordinary individual who
has made positive impacts on the lives of our Millbrae
students.
Earlier this year EXCELLENCE IN MENTORING
AWARD Nomination Forms were distributed to the
schools giving the community an opportunity to nominate
an individual by writing up to 300 words on why he or she
should be selected to receive this prestigious honor. Each
submitted nomination form was reviewed and a winner

AWARD, which is also known as the EDUCATOR OF


THE YEAR AWARD, honors a well known Meadows
Elementary School 3rd Grade Teacher. The following
excerpt was written by Millbrae School District Superintendent Vahn Phayprasert:
Ellen has completed (5) years with us as a third grade
teacher and will be retiring at the end of this year. This is
Ellens second career. We thank her for her years of dedicated services to the students and families in Millbrae.
So, with that said, everyone stood up to applaud and
congratulate the 2016 EDUCATOR OF THE YEAR
AWARD honoree: Meadows Elementary School 3rd
Grade Teacher Ellen Gardener! Ellen was presented with a
beautiful plaque, along with time at the mic to give words
of thanks and introduce his guests.

Greetings Millbrae Lions, Leos, Troop 355 and Community Friends


This past Saturday, 6/13/15, was another delightful day in Millbrae where we had the
MOTHER of all pancake breakfasts - The Millbrae Lions Club Baseball Pancake Breakfast
Fundraiser and FAMILY FUN day!
This event is not only a fundraiser for our legendary baseball program, but an event where
our top 3 youth programs (baseball/Leos/Scouting - over 600 youths) come together to celebrate with our Millbrae Lions Baseball Families for a Millbrae Community Family Oriented event.
Under the leadership of our Baseball Breakfast Co-Chairs - Lion Bill Meyer and Lion 2nd
VP Bruce Sutter, our cast of many Millbrae Lions whipped up over 2,000 pancakes and BBQ
close to 1,000 sausages that delighted the palates of our Millbrae Lions Baseball Families
and Community Friends! In addition, the excellent Millbrae Leos and Boy Scouts Troop 355
helped with the outdoor/world class dining room experience!
A big shout out also needs to go to the Millbrae Leos for adding the important FAMILY
FUN by providing the jumper and face painting! When the jumper arrived, I could see many
of the young baseball players and their siblings eyes lit up with excitement! This is the
BEST part of our event, providing the Millbrae Community FAMILY FUN!
Cheers!

Used Eyeglass Collections


Shatter Previous Expectations

Millbrae Lions Ann Schneider and Shirley Chow have been hard at work collecting used
eyeglasses throughout our community. Placement of eyeglass collection boxes are now located strategically around Millbrae at various businesses. The collection and recycling of
un-used eyeglasses by Lions is a blessing to those who cant afford eye care costs. Along with
White Cane collections, vision screenings and the Lions Eye Foundation, the Millbrae Lions
have always been available to help those who cant take care of their own vision needs. If you
have un-used eyeglasses please deliver them to Chapel of the Highlands in Millbrae, or to
other locations which will be listed soon at www.millbraelions.org.

Millbrae Lions (L to R) PP Tony Montes, PDG George Habeeb, Shirley Chow and PP John La Duca sell Youth &

The following article gives just a


sample of the work that the Millbrae
Lions Club puts into this project. For
years the MLC in cooperation with
the Millbrae Police Department and
Millbrae Sheriffs Bureau has recorded fingerprints / photographs so if
a child is lost or abducted they will
have a better chance to be found:
We just finished our March
Fingerprinting Project. We did 169
school students in all five schools
in Millbrae, which included St.
Dunstan. I want to thank those who
helped. Without your dedicated help
this project would never have been
completed. Thank your from a very
grateful chairman.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

LOUNGE
Continued from page 11
Messi is the five-time Player of the Year
and has help lift his club team, Barcelona,
to majestic heights for most of a decade. He
has won everything a player could want at
the club level and the only gaping hole on
his resume is success for his country and, in
Argentina, that means winning Copa
America and World Cups. Anything less is
unacceptable to the soccer-crazed nation.
Amid his most recent frustrations
including missing his teams opening
chance in the penalty kick shootout
Messi, who recently turned 29, declared he
was retiring from international competition.
Despite all of Messis obvious greatness,
he and his team have wilted when the spotlight shone brightest. And it will be Messi
who will bear the brunt of the failure. He
certainly played a part in Sundays final,
shanking his teams first penalty kick in
the shootout, but as the old saying goes
win as a team, lose as a team.
The pressure on Messi to lead Argentina
to a major title has to border on overwhelming. Its understandable hed want to
get out of that pressure cooker for a while,
but retire? How about take a break? Lets
not make any rash decisions following an
emotional loss.
Youd hate to think that Messis lasting
legacy was one who could not come
through for his country on the biggest
stages.
***
You thought the officiating in the NBA
Finals was bad? Did you get a chance to see
the Copa America final between Argentina
and Chile Sunday? Hoo boy, did that center
referee have a tough day at the office.
There was not a lot of confidence on my
part when the announcers pointed out early in
the match that the head ref was officiating the
biggest game of his career which was also

SPORTS
the first final of a major
tournament he had ever
worked. It immediately
evoked thoughts of a guy
who could possible lose
control of a game.
Which, of course, he
did. The game was definitely a physical affair
Lionel Messi and the cards started flying. He issued more yellow and red-card ejections than a
blackjack dealer. Chiles Marcelo Diaz
picked up a pair of yellow cards in the
games opening 20 minutes to earn the
ejection. Neither foul was especially egregious and yet he found himself watching
from the tunnel leading to the dressing
room for the final 90 minutes of a game
that was decided on penalty kicks.
The ref, however, evened things up later
in the half when he banged Argentinas
Marcos Rojo with a straight red card for an
automatic ejection, ironically (Get it?
Rojo is Spanish for red?). With both
teams now playing 10 a side, the game
opened up but, by the end of regulation and
overtime, those teams were absolutely
gassed.
Maybe thats why Messi shanked his
penalty kick attempt, which factored heavily in Argentinas 4-2 PK loss.
***
Spains reign as Europes biggest soccer
power appears to be at the end following a
surprising 2-0 loss to Italy in the round of
16 of Euro 2016 Monday.
Many pundits have pegged this Italy team
as one of its weakest editions in years, and
yet showed, despite its mostly bunker mentality, that well-timed attacks can pay off.
That is in stark contrast to the Spanish
side that has mastered the passing and possession game emulated at every level of
soccer. But in its quest to maintain control,
Spain sometimes forgets the ultimate goal
is to, well, score goals.
There seems to be very little urgency on
Spains part to put pressure on goal. Spain
nearly always dominates the sheer number
of passes as well as time of possession. But

against Italy, Spain seemed more concerned


about making the next pass instead of
attacking the goal.
Its an easy style to play when playing
from ahead, which Spain most often is. But
when Spain falls behind, passing and possession have to take a backseat to actual
shots on frame.
***
On the other end of the Euro 2016 spectrum is Iceland, which has shocked everyone by not only advancing to the quarterfinals, but by upsetting heavily-favored
England 2-1 Monday along the way.
To say Iceland has been a soccer afterthought in Europe would be an understatement. The Strakarnir Okkar (Our Boys)
have never qualified for any major soccer
tournament, until it did so for Euro 2016.
Iceland did come into the tournament with
some confidence and momentum, having
beaten world-soccer power The Netherlands
in a pair of qualifying matches to reach the
tournament pool.
Using a suffocating defense and an opportunistic attack, Iceland tied Portugal and
Hungary and beat Austria in pool play to
advance to the knockout round.
It drew England in the round of 16 and
things could not have started worse for
Iceland, giving up a penalty kick goal in
the first five minutes.
Ever resilient, Iceland knotted the game
at 1 a few minutes later and took the lead for
good midway through the first half.
Unlike a lot of playoffs, the underdog is
alive and well in Euro 2016 and with nearly
10 percent of the countrys population in
France to cheer on Strakarnir Okkar,
Iceland is making a name for itself.
Plus, it has one of the coolest post-game
chants with their fans and with nearly
30,000 Iceland fans filling the stands for
each game, its spine-tingling.

Iceland celebrates
biggest victory in
win over England
By James Ellingworth
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NICE, France Aron Gunnarsson, every


inch the bearded Viking, ran shirtless
toward the Iceland fans and led them in their
victory chants.
Beating England at the European
Championship was more
than just Icelands greatest
sporting success. Monday
was a moment of national
triumph in a country where
the teams improbable
progress from the group
stage had already outshone
coverage of Saturdays
presidential election.
Aron
The
Scandinavian
Gunnarsson
nation of just 330,000
people, by the far the smallest country to
qualify for a European Championship,
inflicted a shattering 2-1 defeating on
England - the country that has been the
model for Icelandic football for decades.
Defender Ragnar Sigurdsson, who scored
Icelands first goal and made an outstanding
last-ditch tackle to deny Jamie Vardy a
potential equalizer, said he had dreamt ... a
long time ago of playing England.
But he sounded a little disappointed with
what hed found.
We didnt feel that they created any
chances, he said. (Harry) Kane had a header
opportunity and headed straight to the goalkeeper, theres a lot that we were just heading
away and long shots from distance.
It was a victory built on smart positioning in
defense, English-style physical play and many,
many individual errors from Englands players.

England coach Roy Hodgson, who
along with Bob Houghton introduced
it to Sweden when they coached there
in the 1970s and 1980s. One of their
disciples was Lars Lagerback, now
Icelands co-coach.
I learned a lot from them, they
changed the training methods and
the coaching education in the long
run in Sweden and I was really, really
benefiting
from that,
Lagerback said, minutes after
Hodgson resigned from the
England job. Respect to a really,
really good coach.
Lagerback took Hodgsons gifts
and turned them against his old master with devastating effect. In seven
games against England with Sweden
and now Iceland, Lagerbacks teams
have never been defeated. In Nice on
Monday, Iceland neutralized the

Italy beats Spain 2-0


Spains era of dominance at the
European Championship came to
an end Monday when Italy beat the
two-time defending champion 2-0
in the round of 16.
Italy deserved its victory and was
impressive from the start at Stade
de France, dominating in all areas
of the field and creating several
scoring opportunities.
Goals in either half were enough
for Italy to avoid its third straight
elimination at the European
Championship to Spain and secure
a quarterfinal clash against another
old foe, Germany.
Giorgio Chiellini, a member of
Italys resilient defense, put his
team ahead in the 33rd minute,
when he poked the ball across the
line after Spain goalkeeper David
de Gea couldnt hold on to a free
kick by Eder.
Graziano Pelle sealed the victory
Italys first competitive triumph
over Spain since the 1994 World
Cup with his second goal of the
tournament after a cross by Matteo
Darmian in second-half injury time.
Pelles goal came just a short
while after Spain defender Gerard
Pique had Spains best chance to
equalize, but Italy goalkeeper
Gianluigi Buffon saved his closerange shot.
It was Italys first win over La
Roja
at
the
European
Championship since it was defeated comprehensively by the
Spaniards 4-0 in the 2012 final.
The Italians had also been eliminated by Spain in a penalty
shootout in the quarterfinals at
Euro 2008.
The result spells the end of
Spains dominance in European
football. Two years ago, as world
champion, Spain was dumped out
of the World Cup in Brazil at the
group stage.

New law supports first


responders who treat injured pets
COLUMBUS, Ohio Until a new law was
passed this spring, it was against the law in
Ohio along with many other states for
firefighters or paramedics to provide basic
first aid to dogs and cats rescued from house
fires, car accidents or other crisis situations. Only licensed veterinarians could do
that.
The legislation passed recently makes
Ohio one of the first states to protect first
responders who administer lifesaving aid to
pets, companion animals or police dogs in
crisis. Animal advocates say they hope the
statute, which they liken to laws protecting
good Samaritans who come to the aid of

Health brief
injured humans, removes hesitation for first
responders who might have concerns about
tending to injured pets.
The law will allow first responders to,
without fear of liability, provide oxygen,
perform mouth-to-snout resuscitation, try
to stem bleeding, bandage and even administer the overdose antidote naloxone to
dogs or cats that have ingested opiates.
Liability has been a concern because owners
of pets have sued first responders who treated animals that ended up dying.
Its another layer of protection for the
good guys, said Cory Smith, director of
public policy for companion animals at The
Humane Society of the United States.

Getting overdose antidote with


painkillers may reduce ER visits
By Lauran Neergaard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Overdoses dont happen just to heroin addicts patients who


legally use strong painkillers called opioids are at risk in the nations epidemic,
too. A new study says when patients were
prescribed an overdose antidote along with
those medications, they made fewer
painkiller-related visits to the emergency
room.
Hospitals and first responders have long
used the antidote naloxone to revive people whove stopped breathing because of
an opioid overdose. Increasingly, takehome doses also are given to friends or
family of people struggling with substance
abuse to keep on hand in case of emergency.

Mondays study went a step further to


see if the take-home antidote idea also
could work for patients with chronic pain
who may not realize they could accidentally get into trouble with prescription
painkillers such as Oxycontin, Vicodin and
others.
Patients dont see themselves at risk for
overdose, said lead researcher Dr. Phillip
Coffin of the San Francisco Department of
Public Health. Were prescribing naloxone for risky drugs, not risky patients.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention says between 1999 and 2014,
more than 165,000 people in the U.S. died
of overdoses related to opioid pain medications. Taking too much, either deliberately
or accidentally, isnt the only worry. Other
illnesses and medications sometimes can
make a usually tolerated opioid dose risky.

WATER
Continued from page 1
showers. So we want to save those extraordinary levels of savings when were in that
extraordinary circumstance.
The new requirements are part of a recent
shift in how conservation targets are determined, as regulators announced individual
utilities would self-certify requirements based
on their own supplies.
The Hetch Hetchy Reservoir System benefited from increased precipitation and a more
bountiful snowpack this year and, with the
vast majority of San Mateo County residents
served by the SFPUC, many wholesale customers are taking its lead in seeking a 10 percent voluntary reduction.
Steve Ritchie, SFPUCs assistant general
manager for water, said the utility consistently monitors storage levels, which include the
Hetch Hetchy Reservoir that was at one recent
point literally spilling over. Even if the rules
change, hes confident customers will continue their remarkably thrifty habits.
Our customers have really demonstrated a
strong conservation ethic for years and years
now. And in fact, with these mandatory

requirements, people were conserving far


more than what was required, Ritchie said. I
kind of joked that conservation was out of
control. They were just going like gangbusters!
But Ritchie and water officials are looking
toward the long haul and he noted its all
about storage and preserving enough for
future years of drought. Officials dont expect
to fully return to normal this year let alone
the next, and Ritchie said they decided to
return to asking for a 10 percent reduction
the same as before the state instituted mandated cutbacks.
State water officials agreed to begin drafting a framework for permanent conservation
regulations early next year and Ritchie
expressed support for prohibiting waste.
Things such as washing cars without a shutoff nozzle, serving water in restaurants before
a customer requests it or running decorative
fountains without a recirculation system are a
few behaviors that will likely remain permanently outlawed.
Conservation is a complete way of life for
us and anybody who thinks differently is just
wrong. We have to go into each year assuming its the continuation or beginning of a
drought. Because it doesnt pay off to assume
everythings OK, Ritchie said. We have to
manage our resources.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Even cities and water suppliers that dont


source 100 percent from the SFPUC and have
alternate storage or access to groundwater
basins, are following the big-city utilitys
lead.
The California Water Service Company,
which has various districts that serve those in
San Mateo, South San Francisco and customers in its Bear Gulch region, also has
alternate sources but is following the
SFPUCs rules.
We certainly want to be aligned with our
wholesale suppliers and other retailers in the
area so we all provide a consistent message,
said Cal Water spokeswoman Yvonne
Kingman. Its much stronger when we have a
unified voice.
Cal Waters Bear Gulch District earned significant attention during the drought with
customers required to cut back 36 percent. The
district is comprised of many large landscaped properties in Atherton, Portola Valley,
Woodside, parts of Menlo Park as well as portions of unincorporated Redwood City and
San Mateo County.
Although it was of the few regions in the
county to miss its target during several
months, Bear Gulch customers finished
strong with April data showing they saved an
accumulative 36.2 percent as compared to the
same time in 2013.

Now, Cal Water will also alleviate mandated


cutbacks for many customers and eliminate
surcharges against those who exceeded their
water budgets, Kingman said. Bear Gulch and
San Mateo customers will no longer face
fines of $10 for every 748 gallons they go
over their budget, and South San Francisco
customers wont have their $5.65 surcharges.
Kingman also noted Los Altos customers
supplied by the Santa Clara Valley Water
District have been asked to continue with a
20 percent cutback and Sandkulla, whose
agency represents 26 suppliers across several
counties, noted Sunnyvale was issued a 5 percent mandated cutback.
As Cal Water one of the largest regulated
water utilities west of the Mississippi with
nearly 480,000 customers across California,
Kingman noted the new regulations take the
states diverse geography into account. Still,
with permanent requirements on the horizon,
now is not the time to stop conserving, she
added.
Conditions are different up and down the
state. We understand we received more rain
this year, but we still want to be very clear
that we know we are in a drought and drought
conditions are not gone, Kingman said. We
want to create long-lasting changes.

CPUC

HARBOR

Continued from page 1

Continued from page 1

lawmakers who are pushing CPUC legislation agreed to


scale back the agencys regulatory authority, including
removing oversight of transportation companies, and to
require more public disclosure and participation in its
proceedings. The lawmakers are Assemblyman Mike
Gatto of Glendale and senators Jerry Hill of San Mateo
and Mark Leno of San Francisco.
These reforms will change how this commission does
business, Brown said in a statement.
The proposal requires approval from both houses of the
state Legislature.
The CPUC regulates electric, gas and telecommunications companies, including their rates and safety practices. It also oversees railroad safety as well as transportation providers including buses, limousines, airport
shuttles, movers and ride-hailing companies Uber and
Lyft.
Consumer advocates allege that CPUC commissioners
are too close to executives from the utilities they regulate. They also fault the agencys response to a massive
gas leak at Porter Ranch in Southern California this year
and a deadly pipeline explosion in San Bruno in 2010.
Consumers were also angered by widespread outages when
Frontier Communications bought Verizons fiber optic
internet business.
Under the proposed overhaul, the CPUC would shift
responsibility for transportation companies to the
Department of Motor Vehicles and the California
Highway Patrol. Lawmakers hope removing transportation oversight will eliminate a distraction and allow the
agency to focus on utility regulation.
The attorney general would gain authority to enforce
limitations on private communications between utility
executives and CPUC staff or commissioners. Emails
made public in a lawsuit over the San Bruno explosion
described then-CPUC President Michael Peevey holding
private discussions with Pacific Gas & Electric officials
on issues affecting the company.
People denied access to public records would gain the
right to challenge the decision in court.
The overhaul would also require the CPUC to hold meetings throughout the state, not just at its San Francisco
headquarters, and forge better relationships with other
state regulators that oversee elements of the energy
industry.
The CPUC will also hire an ethics ombudsman and a
high-level official in charge of safety.
The proposal represents a realignment of the values
for the PUC, said Gatto, who proposed a ballot measure
earlier this year to bypass Brown and ask voters to break
apart the agency.
It will enable them to be more specialized, more
focused, basically to have the ability to make safety a
priority, to make utility rates a priority, Gatto told
reporters in a news conference.
Gatto said hell drop the proposed ballot measure if the
proposal wins legislative approval.
In vetoing six CPUC reform bills last year, Brown said
lawmakers tried to do too much at once and didnt provide
adequate funding. He said hed work with lawmakers to
enact changes.
The proposal is a modest improvement that provides
new tools for public interest groups to keep an eye on the
CPUC, but utilities will not be shedding a tear over this
reform plan, said Jamie Court, president of Consumer
Watchdog, an advocacy group that has repeatedly raised
concerns about the PUC.
I think it does move the ball forward in terms of providing more sunshine so there isnt another scandal, but
it does not fundamentally address the imbalance of power
between ratepayers and the investor-owned utilities,
Court said.

ty would undertake a comprehensive


analysis of all aspects of the district
if dissolution was recommended by
the Local Agency
Formation
Commission.
The current civil grand jury studied
what steps the county has taken since
LAFCo recommended 11 months ago
that the Harbor District be dissolved.
A previous civil grand jury in 2014
reported that the Harbor District
should also be dissolved.
The latest report indicates the county has made no moves to analyze
whether the district should be dissolved.
The grand jury recommends that
the Board of Supervisors look beyond
any attempts by the Harbor District to
improve operations and calls for the
county to commence by Sept. 30,
2016, its promised analysis of dissolving the district. Such analysis
should be completed within six
months and be presented to the public
at a regular board meeting, the civil
grand jury reported Monday.
The civil grand jurys recommendations must be responded to but are not
mandates and do not have to be followed.
The recommendations include that
the countys analysis should evaluate
possible outcomes such as dissolving
the Harbor District and naming the
county as its successor agency. Other
outcomes to consider are whether
Oyster Point Marina/Park should be
returned back to South San Francisco
and naming the county the successor
at Pillar Point Harbor only.
The district owns and operates
Pillar Point on the coast and manages
Oyster Point Marina under a joint
powers agreement with the city of
South San Francisco.
The report is the latest in a series of
critiques of the Harbor District, which
for years has been the subject of criticism for mismanagement, staff
turnover and other ills.
The report itself does not detail
what the dysfunctions are but does
offer appendices detailing the history

of past recommendations and the particular turmoil at the Harbor District
between 2014 and now.
It notes that the district has had
high turnover with four commission
presidents between June 2014 and
May 2016 and four general managers
between October 2014 and November
2015, when new General Manager
Steve McGrath assumed oversight of
the district.
Current President Tom Mattusch was
appointed to the role in May 2015 to
replace
Commissioner
Sabrina
Brennan, who only served four
months before resigning as board
president and nominating Mattusch
for the position. Brennan remained
on the board.
Brennan replaced Commissioner
Pietro Parravano in January 2015,
who only served as board president
for seven months. The last president
to fill a full one-year term was Robert
Bernardo from July 2013 to June
2014, according to the civil grand
jury.
The board has typically reorganized
itself in July, the start of the fiscal
year.
An appendix to the report, Turmoil
at Harbor District 2014-2016, also
details the controversy around the
sudden retirement of former general
manager Peter Grenell and the man
who replaced him in late 2014, Scott
Grindy, who abruptly quit in
November 2015 to take a harbormaster job in San Francisco. Grindy has
since filed a claim against the Harbor
District alleging that he suffered
relentless interference and false and
derogatory statements from Ms.
Brennan, according to the civil
grand jury report. Brennan has
claimed the allegations are baseless.
A third person, Glen Lazof, became
interim general manager in May
2015 and served while the district
was recruiting for a new general manager.
His tenure, however, was not without incident, according to the civil
grand jury.
Only days after taking office, Lazof
issued a memo urging staff to steer
clear from Brennan and that she was a
threat to his health.
Lazof said she told him that she
promised to make your life a living

19

hell, according to the civil grand


jury.
Brennan denied those allegations
too.
The report also shows that staff
turnover was not restricted to the general managers position.
Debra Galarza, longtime finance
director, resigned in September 2015.
She accused the district and Brennan
of discrimination and filed a claim
with the states Department of Fair
Employment and Housing. The
Harbor
District
paid Galarza
$295,000 to settle the claim.
The recommendations also include
that the study should look beyond
any near-term performance improvements given the long history of
Harbor District dysfunction.
But new General Manager McGrath
said Monday that all long-term
changes always begin with near-term
performance improvement.
The report does praise McGrath for
making considerable progress on
some secondary recommendations
made by the 2013-14 civil grand jury
such as detailing how the district
spends taxpayer money versus enterprise funds such as slip rentals.
McGrath, however, said Monday
that the civil grand jury did not take
into account all the positive steps the
district has taken in recent months
after taking a cursory review of the
report. The full board, however, has
yet to recognize the report, he said.
Its short on detailing the districts
accomplishments and seems more
focused on the past, McGrath said.
The report could be counterproductive to continued improvement.
The Harbor District is a special tax
district that all property owners in the
county support. Taxpayers will fund
the district to the tune of about $6
million next year while it is expected
to generate about $4.1 million on its
own.
The district also just retired a $5
million loan four years ahead of
schedule with a savings in interest
payments of $500,000.

RENT

have to increase supply and I felt that


this might impact supply, Goethals
said.
The council formed its housing task
force late last year with stakeholders
ranging from landlords and real estate
association representatives, to faith
leaders and affordable housing advocates. But similar to the group, the
council was also unable to achieve a
consensus on enacting more immediate protections for renters during several contentious public meetings.

Continued from page 1


crisis on landlords and contend such
measures have negatively affected
cities like San Francisco.
Advocates point to longtime residents and families being squeezed out
of the community due to drastic rent
increases and opted to take matters
into their own hands. The group gathered far more than the 7,119 signatures
required to place the San Mateo
Community Preservation and Fair Rent
Charter Amendment on the ballot,
according to Aracely Mondragon,
community organizer with Faith in
Action Bay Area.
The reality is that right now, without any regulations, we cant deny that
there are huge rent increases, that there
are mass evictions and unregulated
speculation going on. The reality is
there is a housing crisis and an urgency
around it, Mondragon said. Without
any renter protections, people will
continue to be pushed out and of course
we need a multi-faceted solution to the
housing crisis. But we need a baseline
to keep people in their homes.
The effects of rapid job growth
paired with relatively minimal housing construction began to peak in
recent years and San Mateo sale prices
have increased between 73 percent to
87 percent over the last four years.
With fewer able to buy, the Bay Areas
rental market has become increasingly
competitive as well as lucrative.
Tenant advocates estimate more than
1,000 people were evicted without
cause last year and noted several massdisplacements when the sale of an
apartment building was quickly followed by large rent increases or displacement, according to the nonprofit
Community Legal Services in East
Palo Alto.

Details
The ballot proposal would cap rent
increases at 4 percent per year, but
landlords who refrain from increases
for at least a year can accumulate that
for an up to 8 percent rent increase.
The just cause eviction provision
would prevent renters from being told
to leave unless they breach the terms
of their lease, break the law, fail to pay
rent, are a nuisance, if substantial
repairs to the unit are needed, if the
property will no longer be used as

Opposition, support
rental or if the landlord plans to move
in.
It wouldnt apply to single-family
homes, condominiums or secondary
units and duplexes where a landlord
lives on site. An estimated 66 percent
of the citys rentals or about 11,800
units would be affected as per state law,
properties built after Feb. 1, 1995, are
exempt from rent control. However,
just cause eviction provisions would
still apply.
Nearly half of San Mateo residents
are renters with 42 percent or about
7,185 households paying more than
30 percent of their income toward
housing costs, according to proponents.

Concerns
Mayor Joe Goethals noted the signatures must first be validated by the
county Elections Office. When the
council initially gridlocked on
whether to institute emergency provisions, Goethals suggested a relocation
assistance program. But after hearing
concerns from a large group of landlords who attended the meetings clad
in green Save the Dream stickers,
Goethals noted this controversial
issue is nuanced and on Monday,
expressed concerns about the ballot.
This would dramatically change the
rules surrounding rental housing and
dramatically changing the rules would
benefit current renters and would
penalize current landlords of all sizes.
Its a divisive issue because any resolution creates winners and losers,
Goethals said.
He noted theres no means test to
differentiate between those who are
struggling to afford the areas high
cost of rent and fears property owners
may respond by taking their rentals
off the market, a problematic scenario
during a crisis.
In order to address this, we really

The
California
Apartment
Association, which represents homeowners, businesses and trade associations, is strongly opposed to all forms
of rent control and is committed to
defeating any related ballot measure,
according to CAAs Government
Affairs Director Rhovy Lyn Antonio.
She encouraged county elections
officials to be thorough in their review
of the signatures. Antonio served on
the citys housing task force and noted
its final report outlined more than 30
initiatives they reached a consensus
on that would provide both short-term
and long-term ideas to meet demand.
Rather than allow these real solutions to work, rent control activists
are taking an all or nothing approach
to enact a failed policy that doesnt
provide any relief to the low-income
families who need the so-called benefits of rent control most, Antonio
wrote in an email. Rent control policies do not reduce the cost of housing,
do not make housing more affordable,
and do not do anything to encourage
more housing construction.
Despite
staunch
opposition,
Mondragon and volunteers noted those
who gathered signatures received consistent gratitude from the community
with many thanking them for their
efforts.
The campaign to place rent stabilization on the ballot exposed the true
heart of San Mateo, the Rev. Penny
Nixon, of the Congregational Church
of San Mateo said in a press release
Monday. I believe the majority of
people in San Mateo want a city that is
characterized by the spirit of this campaign community, care and compassion.
The Elections Office has 30 days to
evaluate the signatures after receipt
and the City Council is set to consider
the results Aug. 1. If placed on the ballot, a majority approval is needed to
pass.

JERUSALEM Israel and Turkey struck a broad reconciliation pact Monday that will restore full diplomatic relations after six years of animosity between the once-close
Mideast powers.
The deal gave a welcome boost to the leaders of the two
countries, both of whom have seen their international
standing deteriorate in recent months. But differences
remain over a root cause of the rift Israels blockade of
the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip and theres no indication the
two countries will restore their once strong security ties.
Turkey also took steps toward improving strained ties
with Moscow on Monday by expressing regret for bringing
down a Russian plane near the border with Syria last year.
The agreement with Israel will include an exchange of
ambassadors and Israeli compensation for the deaths of 10
Turkish citizens from a 2010 Israeli naval raid on an
activist flotilla that aimed to breach the Gaza blockade.
Turkey will also be allowed to bring relief supplies into
Gaza and carry out new development projects there.
The world is convulsing. The Middle East is convulsing.
My policy is to create centers of stability in this unstable
and stormy region, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu said as he announced details of the deal during an
official visit to Rome.
With this deal, the process of returning ties to normal
has begun, Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said in
Ankara.
Relations between Israel and Turkey began to decline
soon after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whose party
has Islamist roots, became prime minister in 2003.
Since then, Erdogan, who became president two years
ago, has sought closer ties with Muslim nations in the
region while trying to distance his country from Israel.
Erdogans close ties with Hamas, an Islamic Palestinian
militant group sworn to Israels destruction, further strained
ties.
Relations took a sharp turn downward during Israels
three-week war against Hamas in Gaza in 2008 and 2009,
when Erdogan criticized Israel over the high Palestinian
death toll.
Israel said the operation was needed to halt Hamas rocket
fire and that the heavy civilian death toll resulted from
Hamas using residential areas for cover.
The animosity peaked on May 31, 2010, when Israeli
commandos stormed a ship called the Mavi Marmara while
stopping the international flotilla.
Nine Turks, including a dual American citizen, were killed
and dozens of activists were wounded, one of whom died
several years later. On the Israeli side, seven soldiers were
wounded by activists who attacked them with clubs, knives
and pipes.
Following the incident, Turkey withdrew its ambassador
to Israel and scaled back military and economic ties.
Relations were never broken completely.
Israel later apologized for the deaths of the activists and
agreed to compensate the victims families under a U.S.brokered arrangement in 2013. But the deal was never
implemented as Turkey demanded the lifting of the Gaza
blockade.
Israel says the blockade, imposed after Hamas seized
power in Gaza in 2007, is needed to prevent the group from
importing weapons. Critics say the measure, which has hit
Gazas economy hard, is collective punishment.
Under Mondays deal, Israel will pay $20 million in compensation for families of victims of the naval raid. In
return, Turkey agreed to halt any legal claims connected to
the raid. The countries are expected to exchange ambassadors within weeks.
In addition, Israel agreed to allow Turkey to deliver aid to
Gaza through the Israeli port of Ashdod, where everything
will undergo security checks before entering the territory.
Turkey said the first ship, carrying more than 10,000
tons of aid including food and clothing will depart for
Israel on Friday. He said Turkey would immediately start
working on electricity, water and housing projects in Gaza,
and complete a 200-bed hospital there.
Therefore the embargo there is being lifted under
Turkeys leadership, he said.
Netanyahu welcomed efforts to help solve Gazas water
and power shortages, but said the blockade remains a top
security interest. Yildirim did not comment on Israeli
claims that Turkey agreed to prevent Hamas from fundraising or military activities on its soil.
Erdogan said Turkey had consulted with the two main
Palestinian factions during the negotiations. He spoke to
the Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas
on Sunday and met with Hamas chief Khaled Mashaal on
Friday.
Both were favorable (to the agreement) and so we continued on our way, Erdogan said at dinner at his palace to
break the daily Ramadan fast.
Erdogan said despite the agreement, Turkey would continue to address the grievances of the Palestinians and object
to Israels unlawful practices in Jerusalem and in Al-Aqsa,
referring to a contentious holy site revered by Jews and
Muslims.
