The full-time professors forming a collective bargaining group

SANTA FE, N.M. Searchers fixated
with finding a treasure hidden in the

was fatally shot to protect a 4-year-old


boy who entered its exhibit.
The male western lowland gorilla
named Harambe was killed Saturday by a
special zoo response team that feared
the boys life was in danger. Video taken
by zoo visitors showed the gorilla at
times appeared to be protective of the
boy but also dragged him through the
shallow moat.
Anthony Seta, an animal rights
activist in Cincinnati, called the death
a senseless tragedy but said the purpose of Mondays vigil wasnt to point
fingers. Rather, he said, it was a tribute
to Harambe, who turned 17 the day
before he was shot.
People can shout at the parents and
people can shout at the zoo, Seta said.
The fact is that a gorilla that just celebrated his birthday has been killed.
Kim OConnor, who witnessed the
boys fall, has said she heard the youngster say he wanted to get in the water
with the gorillas. She said the boys
mother was with several other young
children.
The mothers like, No, youre not.
No, youre not, OConnor told WLWTTV.
In the days since, people have taken
to social media to voice their outrage
about the killing of a member of an
endangered species. A Facebook page
called Justice for Harambe was created
Saturday night, along with online petitions and another page calling for a June
5 protest at the zoo.
The zoos director, Thane Maynard,
said its dangerous-animal response
team, consisting of full-time animal
keepers, veterinarians and security
staff, made the right call to kill the
gorilla.

Tips sought as search for missing


teenager keeps coming up empty
By Olga R. Rodriguez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Officials


are hoping someone might provide
information that helps lead them to
a teenage girl abducted by an armed
acquaintance after the latest widespread searches turned up nothing.
They made the public plea on
Sunday after a two-day search along
the Russian River in Sonoma
County in Northern California.
The search included sheriffs
divers, canine units and search and
rescue teams for 15-year-old Pearl
Pinson in the Willow Creek area of
Sonoma Coast State Park.
Nothing was found during the
search that would indicate Pearl is
there, Solano County Sheriffs
spokeswoman Christine Castillo
said in a statement.
There are no plans for any specif-

ic searches, but
authorities are
hoping
leads
might tell them
where to look.
Investigators
continue to follow-up on leads
and any future
will
Pearl Pinson search
depend on where
those leads take us, she said.
Castillo encouraged those who
may have seen the high school
freshman after she was kidnapped
Wednesday while walking to a
school bus stop near her home in
Vallejo to call 911 or their local
police department.
A witness reported seeing a girl
with a bleeding face screaming for
help as a man armed with a handgun dragged her across a freeway
overpass in Vallejo, about 25

miles east of San Francisco. Blood


and Pinsons cellphone were found
on the ground.
Authorities feared Pinson was in
grave danger based on the witness
account and have been frantically
looking for her. However, the
search has been complicated by the
death of her suspected kidnapper.
Fernando Castro, 19, was killed
in Southern California on Thursday
after police spotted his car and
exchanged gunfire with him as he
attempted to flee. Surveillance cameras captured images of Castros car
traveling Thursday morning in
Marin County, about 25 miles from
where Pinson was taken and 300
miles away from where he was shot
and killed hours later, authorities
said. The gold Saturn sedan was
spotted on a freeway near San
Francisco Bay, prompting authorities to search the waters edge.

Obama marks Memorial Day at


Arlington National Cemetery
By Kevin Freking
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ARLINGTON, Va. President


Barack
Obama
challenged
Americans on Memorial Day to
fill the silence from those who
died serving their country with
love and support for families of
the fallen, not just with words
but with our actions.
Obama laid a wreath Monday at
the Tomb of the Unknowns to
honor the nations war dead.
Under mostly sunny skies at
Arlington National Cemetery, he
bowed his head for a moment,
then placed his right hand over
his heart as taps was played.
Obama in his address commemorated the more than 1 million
people in U.S. history who paid
the ultimate sacrifice.
Obama said the markers at
Arlington belong mostly to
young Americans, those who
never lived to be honored as veterans for their service.
The Americans who rest here,
and their families the best of
us, those from whom we asked
everything ask of us today
only one thing in return: that we
remember them, Obama said.
In his remarks, Obama called
for Americans to honor the families who lost loved ones and the

battle buddies left behind. He
said its important to ensure veterans get access to good health
care and jobs. We have to do
better, he said. We have to be

there not only when we need


them, but when they need us.
Special operations forces continue to serve in dangerous missions in Syria, Iraq and

Afghanistan, even as the U. S.


military presence in the latter
two countries has been greatly
reduced under Obamas watch.
Obama acknowledged the contin-

uing threat to service members,


singling out for praise three who
have died in Iraq in recent
months: Master Sgt. Joshua L.
Wheeler, Staff Sgt. Louis Cardin
and Chief Special Warfare
Operator Charles Keating IV.
Obama said Keating joined the
Navy SEALs because it was the
hardest thing to do. He quoted a
platoon mate who told Keatings
parents in a letter soon after
their sons death please tell
everyone Chuck saved a lot of
lives today. On Cardin, Obama
said he gave his life while protecting the Marines under his
command. Putting others before
himself was what Louis did
best.
Obama noted that Wheeler was
deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan
14 times and earned 11 Bronze
Stars. He also participated in a
mission in October that rescued
some 70 hostages. He died before
his son, David, could be born,
but that son and Wheelers
widow, Ashley, were at Mondays
ceremony.
Today this husband and father
rests here in Arlington in Section
60, Obama said. And as
Americans, we resolve to be better, better people, better citizens
because of Master Sergeant
Joshua Wheeler.

Few Memorial Day airport headaches, most wait times bearable


By Jennifer Kay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIAMI Travelers who had


braced for long lines and long
waits were instead moving
through most U.S. airports fairly
quickly Monday, as the busy
Memorial Day travel weekend
drew to close.
Honestly it wasnt too bad,
said Kendra Morehead of
Wooster, Ohio, who flew from
Detroit to Denver for a conference. I got to the airport an
hour and a half early, but security

only took like 15 minutes.


However, the airlines werent
ready to say mission accomplished yet, as its just the beginning of the busy summer travel
season.
Things have been going pretty
well so far this weekend and we are
working hard to make sure that we
have no repeat of what we saw in
Chicago, said American Airlines
spokesman Ross Feinstein, referring
to
Chicago
OHare
International Airport, which had
some of the worst screening problems in recent weeks.

The TSA began deploying extra


canine teams to the busiest airports months ago. The dogs can
screen large groups of passengers
for explosives, eliminating the
need to remove shoes and laptops,
TSA spokesman Mike England
said last week.
The extra dogs were concentrated at the nations largest airports, but they werent used for
all screenings. Many travelers
still had to observe the usual procedures. England said the extra
dogs would remain at security
checkpoints well beyond the

Memorial Day weekend.


At Miami International Airport,
Fernando Del Gaudio arrived three
hours early for a flight home to
Buenos Aires, Argentina, only to
find that the regular security lines
and the pre-screened lines in the
American Airlines terminal were
empty Monday evening.

luggage, honestly, he said as his

Poll: Voters feel disconnected, helpless in 2016


By Steve Peoples and Emily Swanson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Republicans and


Democrats feel a massive disconnect with
their political parties and helpless about
the presidential election.
Thats according to a new poll by the
Associated Press-NORC Center for Public
Affairs Research, which helps explain the
rise of outsider candidates Donald Trump and
Bernie Sanders and suggests challenges
ahead for fractured parties that must come
together to win this fall.
It feels like the state of politics is generally broken, said Joe Denother, a 37-yearold Oregon voter who typically favors
Republicans.
The divisive primary season has fueled an
overall sense of pessimism about the political process that underscores a widening
chasm between political parties and the
voters they claim to represent. Just 12 percent of Republicans think the GOP is very
responsive to ordinary voters, while 25
percent of Democrats say the same of their
party.
Among all Americans, the AP-NORC poll
found that just 8 percent consider the
Republican Party to be very or extremely
responsive to what ordinary voters think.
An additional 29 percent consider the GOP
moderately responsive and 62 percent say
its only slightly or not at all responsive.

The Republicans have gotten away from their core


message of fiscal responsibility. ... I feel theres an identity crisis.
And with a lack of identity, its hard to have confidence in the party.
Joe Denother, a 37-year-old Oregon voter

The Democratic Party fares only slightly


better, with 14 percent saying the party is
very or extremely responsive, 38 percent
calling it moderately responsive, and 46
percent saying its only slightly or not at
all responsive.
Denother, who works in health insurance,
says he feels the disconnect with the party
he usually supports.
The Republicans have gotten away from
their core message of fiscal responsibility,
said Denother, who voted for Mitt Romney
in 2012 and is undecided this year. I feel
theres an identity crisis. And with a lack of
identity, its hard to have confidence in the
party.
The survey exposes an extraordinary crisis of confidence in most major political
institutions just as both parties intensify
efforts to connect with voters heading into
the general election.
In general, only 15 percent of Americans
report a great deal of confidence in the
Democratic Party compared with just 8 percent who say the same of the GOP. Thats as
only 4 percent say they have a great deal of
confidence in Congress, 15 percent in the

executive branch and 24 percent in the


Supreme Court.
The findings come as Trump assumes the
mantle of GOP leader, having won the number of delegates necessary to clinch the
Republican presidential nomination. Trump
got there with an aggressive anti-establishment message, railing against his party
leaders for months.
Now the New York billionaire appears to
be changing course. He recently entered
into a high-dollar fundraising agreement
with the Republican National Committee
and plans to rely heavily on the RNCs
staffing and data programs to connect with
voters.
On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton
remains locked in a divisive primary battle
with Sanders, a self-identified democratic
socialist who has inspired a large and loyal
following. The Vermont senator has echoed
Trumps charges of an unfair political system thats stacked against him and ordinary
Americans, a criticism that resonates with
many voters.
It seems that everything was made
straight for Hillary Clinton, said Ron

Cserbak, a 63-year-old retired teacher who


lives in Cincinnati and usually votes for
Democrats.
The new poll finds that 6 in 10 Americans
think the Republican Party is only slightly
or not at all open to new ideas or candidates
outside the political establishment, and
about half say the same of the Democratic
Party. About 3 in 10 think each party is
only moderately open either to new ideas or
outsider candidates.
The survey also found evidence of overwhelming interest in the presidential contest, although less than a quarter of
Americans say theyre excited about it.
Worse, 55 percent of Americans, including 60 percent of Republicans and 53 percent of Democrats, say they feel helpless
about the 2016 election. And two-thirds of
Americans under 30 report feeling helpless.
I am despondent, said Cserbak. I
wouldnt say I feel totally helpless. I do
have a vote.
In contrast, only 13 percent of respondents said they felt proud about the election;
37 percent said they were hopeful.
The AP-NORC poll of 1,060 adults was
conducted May 12-15 using a sample drawn
from
NORCs
probability-based
AmeriSpeak panel, which is designed to be
representative of the U.S. population. The
margin of sampling error for all respondents is plus or minus 4. 1 percentage
points.

As in U.S., Trump draws strong reactions in China


By Christopher Bodeen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIJING China features prominently


in the rhetoric of presumed Republican
presidential candidate Donald Trump, who
accuses the country of stealing American
jobs and cheating at global trade. In China
though, hes only just emerging as a public
figure, despite fame elsewhere for his voluble utterances, high-profile businesses and
reality TV shows.
Although the government has denounced
Trumps threats of economic retaliation,
many Chinese observers see a silver lining
in his focus on economic issues instead of

human rights and political freedoms. That


could make him an attractive alternative to
his likely rival, Democrat Hillary Clinton.
Trump could in fact be the best president
for China, Hong Kong Phoenix Television
political commentator Wu Jun said during a
recent on-air discussion.
Thats because the Republican Party is
more practical and Trump is a businessman
who puts his commercial interests above
everything else, Wu said. Clinton, on the
other hand, might be the least friendly
president toward China.
Its not clear how familiar Trump actually
is with China. While hes claimed to have
made billions of dollars dealing with

China, he has no known investments in


the nation. Chinese, however, are customers for Trumps hotel, golf course and
real estate ventures, while Trump-branded
clothing and accessories have been made in
China.
Trump mentions the country so often that
a popular YouTube compilation video exists
in which he says the word China more than
200 times in just over 3 minutes.
Still, Trump was largely unknown in
China until his campaign for the
Republican nomination began gathering
momentum last year.
Trumps call for a 45 percent tariff on
imports that would hit China hard has been
lambasted by Finance Minister Lou Jiwei,
who said enacting such a tariff would cost
the U.S. its global leadership.
Still, Chinese are used to American candidates making strong comments about their
country during elections, only to moderate
their positions once in office, said Nanjing

University foreign relations expert Zhu


Feng.
The most important thing is that he or
she be solid in their knowledge about China
and know how to strike the right balance,
Zhu said.
Many Chinese may also be relieved that
Trump is focused so relentlessly on Chinas
role in the U.S. economy, rather than on
human rights and similar issues.
Trumps questioning of U.S. foreign military commitments is also sweet music to the
ears of Chinese nationalists who want
China to be top dog in Asia and challenge
U.S. dominance in the rest of the world. His
opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership
trade deal, which seeks to offset Chinese
influence, also goes down well in Beijing.
The Chinese public, meanwhile, seems
unfazed by Trumps anti-immigration
stance, with its overwhelming focus on
Mexico, and the candidates vow to bar
Muslims from entering the U.S.

On cutting-edge voter data,


Trump well behind Clinton
By Thomas Beaumont
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHILADELPHIA Donald Trump trails


Hillary Clinton by months, even years, in
using fast-evolving digital campaigning to
win over voters, data specialists working
with the GOP say.
The presumptive Republican presidential
nominee has dismissed the science that
defines 21st century political campaigns, a
tool that President Barack Obama used
effectively in winning two terms and the
Clinton campaign has worked on for nearly
a year.
And while it is too early to tell whether
the late start signals trouble for Trump, it
illustrates the difference between Trumps
proudly outsider campaign and the institutional knowledge within Clintons.
Shes been able to prepare a general election campaign since the beginning, said
Alex Lundry, former senior technology
adviser to Mitt Romneys 2012 Republican
presidential campaign. That head start in
terms of time is extraordinarily valuable.

Precision digital-marketing data, a persons online footprints, have become an


electoral science that Democrats have dominated, and Republicans have chased, for a
decade. Campaigns used the data at first
simply to track supporters. The information now guides a range of decisions, like
the types and volume of advertising, where
to deploy campaign staff to mobilize voters
and where a candidate should visit.
Trumps team has been unclear about its
use of data in the general election.
Trump told the Associated Press this
month the tool was overrated and he
planned limited data use during the general election, though his campaign has
worked with firms and a small in-house staff
to track voters during the primaries.
Later, senior adviser Rick Wiley, who was
hired in April, suggested Trump would run a
state of the art campaign and use data
strategically, relying on Trumps own list
of supporters, the Republican National
Committees voter list and a data service
financed largely by the RNC called Data
Trust.

Trumps movement campaign


needs adjustments at margins
By Bill Barrow and Sergio Bustos
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TAMPA, Fla. Donald Trump calls his


presidential campaign a mass movement,
but he must show he can coax enough support from voters who twice delivered the
White House to Barack Obama.
The billionaire businessman depended
almost exclusively on conservative and
GOP-leaning whites a majority of them
men to secure the Republican nomination. Now he must look ahead to a wider,
more diverse voting population in his likely general election matchup with
Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.
His ability to seize on marginal shifts in
the electorate may determine whether he can
pull off a victory once unthinkable. Trumps
task is critical to flipping back into the
GOP column some of the most contested
states that Obama won twice.
This challenge is perhaps most evident
in Florida, a culturally, racially and ideologically varied state where Obama defeated Republican Mitt Romney four years
ago by fewer than 75, 000 votes out of

more than 8. 4 million cast.


That means small shifts anywhere in the
electorate could make a difference from
turnout changes among white small-town
and rural Republicans or urban, nonwhite
Democrats to partisans, embittered by contentious nominating bouts, choosing thirdparty candidates or declining to vote at all;
and if Trump cant close the gaps in Florida,
he has little shot at winning key Rust Belt
and Great Lakes states where Obamas
advantages were greater.
We still elect presidents using the
Electoral College ... depending on states
that are made up of diverse electorates, cautions GOP pollster Whit Ayres. There
arent enough angry white people to create a
majority in the new America of 2016, (and)
running up your numbers with white males
in Mississippi doesnt get you one more
electoral vote than Mitt Romney.
One of Trumps vanquished primary
rivals, Sen. Marco Rubio, told reporters
this week Trump can win Florida, which has
gone with the winner in every presidential
contest since 1996, as long as he can continue to be Donald.

Air strikes pummel the


rebel-held city of Idlib
By Bassem Mroue
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT A wave of air strikes on a


rebel-held stronghold in northwest Syria
Monday night caused mass casualties and
sparked fresh clashes. The flare up in violence came a day after the oppositions
chief negotiator resigned in frustration over
the stalled Geneva peace talks with the government of Bashar Assad.
The Syrian Observatory for Human
Rights monitoring group counted 10 air
strikes on the city of Idlib in the evening,
which it said killed at least 14 civilians,
including three children. The group said it
believed Russian jets were responsible.
The Local Coordination Committees, an
activist network, said 10 people were killed
when the citys National Hospital was hit,
but had no details about casualties elsewhere in the city.
The opposition Civil Defense, which carries out rescue operations, gave a much
higher casualty figure, saying dozens were

killed and hundreds wounded in the air


strikes in which several hospitals were
damaged. The group said it had deployed its
entire Idlib corps to take part in rescue operations.
The Observatory said hospitals were not
targeted, but suffered damage when bombs
struck nearby.
Idlib is under the control of the newly resurrected Army of Conquest coalition, which
is dominated by ultraconservative insurgent
groups and rebel factions. Al-Qaidas Syrian
affiliate, the Nusra Front, leads the coalition. The Nusra Front is considered a terrorist group by the U.S. and U.N. and has been

Its raining men! Sweden sees historic gender balance shift


By Karl Ritter
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

STOCKHOLM Famous for its efforts to


put women on an equal footing with men,
Sweden is experiencing a gender balance
shift that has caught the country by surprise:
For the first time since record-keeping began
in 1749, it now has more men than women.
Swedes dont quite know what to make of
this sudden male surplus, which is highly
unusual in the West, where women historically have been in the majority in almost every

country. But it may be a sign of things to


come in Europe as changes in life expectancy and migration transform demographics.
This is a novel phenomenon for Europe,
said Francesco Billari, a University of
Oxford demographer who is president of the
European Association for Population
Studies. We as researchers have not been on
top of this.
The tipping point in Sweden happened in
March last year, when population statistics
showed 277 more men than women. The gap
has since grown to beyond 12,000. While

thats still small in a population of almost


10 million, its not unreasonable to suspect that Sweden will have a big male surplus
in the future, said Tomas Johansson, a population expert at the national statistics
agency, SCB.
Despite a natural birth rate of about 105
boys born for every 100 girls, European
women have historically outnumbered men
because they live longer. An Associated
Press analysis of national and European
Union population statistics suggests women
will remain in the majority in most European

countries for decades to come. But the number of men per 100 women, known as the sex
ratio, is increasing, slowly in Europe as a
whole and quickly in some northern and central European countries.
Norway swung to a male surplus in 2011,
four years before Sweden, while Denmark and
Switzerland are nearing a sex ratio of 100.
Germany, which had an unnatural deficit of
men after two world wars, has seen its sex
ratio jump from 87 in 1960 to 96 last year.
Meanwhile, Britains sex ratio rose from 93
to 97 in the same period.

Under-the-radar elections

Docktown Marina A better future


By JoAnn McDonnell

magine a vibrant, unique and


interesting floating community
in Redwood City. A Sausalito
of the South Bay, with areas along
the docks for people to fish or
launch their kayaks right next to the
liveaboards. This is the future for the
floating community at Docktown
Marina that was envisioned by the
Inner Harbor Task Force, set up by
Redwood City at great expense to
the taxpayers, and through which
the citizen-participants gave their
time and thoughtful contributions
out of a commitment to Redwood
City and proper government
process.
Guiding Principle No. 6 from the
Task Force reads: Preserve existing
and accommodate new floating communities. During the 15 Task Force
meetings, floating communities
received support from environmentalists, and landowners and the public was overwhelmingly in favor of
retaining and increasing floating
communities in Redwood City. Yet
when Redwood City released their
version of the Inner Harbor Plan, the
floating homes were gone. How is
that possible?
It is interesting in every study on
sea level rise, things are worse than
previously thought. There is a great
two-part article in the November
2009 Urbanist, a magazine for city
planners: Sea Level Rise and the
Future of the Bay Area,
spur.org/publications/urbanist-article/2009-11-01/sea-level-rise-andfuture-bay-area, and the sister article; Strategies for Managing Sea
Level Rise, in the San Francisco
Bay, spur.org/publications/urbanistarticle/2009-11-01/strategies-managing-sea-level-rise.
These articles note that to deal
with the amount of the Bay Area that
will be affected by sea level rise, we
will need to do many things, including hardening the coast, managed
retreat, a storm gate at the Golden
Gate and floating homes as an adap-

tive measure to sea


level rise. City
planners from
countries such as
Great Britain, The
Netherlands,
Canada and Dubai
support and
encourage living
on the water. We
should be more forward-looking and
allow adaptive measures to sea level
rise, such as floating communities.
Redwood City claims the legislation offering Docktown 15 years
was modeled after the De Anza Cove
mobile home park in Southern
California. However, the De Anza
legislation had no conditions on
transfer of property, no restrictions
on renting, no caveat that access
was not guaranteed, and it allowed a
32-year transition. With the recent
Docktown legislation, the 15 years
was never guaranteed. Fifteen years
was only the length of time that the
State Lands Commission wouldnt
enforce, but Redwood City could
still give 60-day notice at any time
if it lost the right from landowners
to allow access over land or utilities
and water to the docks. This was
made clear in the mayors letter
upon which the legislative effort
was commenced, and it remains true
today. With all the meetings, drama
and posturing in past days, there
was never a guarantee of 15 years.
Moreover, the legislation would
have instituted a law, for the first
time ever, that residential use of
grant property was against the public trust.
It is interesting to note that the De
Anza Cove fight lasted 35 years, and
the mobile home owners were paid
relocation fees, (an average of
$65,000). The city of San Diego was
also ordered to pay plaintiffs attorney fees in addition to the settlement. See deanzacovejudgment.com.
No one wants a long drawn-out
legal battle and, without a legal
challenge, Redwood City cant justify paying fair market value reloca-

Guest
perspective
tion fees, which in my admittedly
very rough estimation and based on
approximate square footage, would
come to $23 million. Moreover, the
relocation valuation and process at
Docktown, for credibilitys sake,
should require a special master like
the recent Palo Alto Bella Vista closure, or an overseen resolution like
De Anza.
Redwood City could settle the
complex Docktown issue without
exorbitant legal and relocation costs
to the taxpayers. The best solution
would be for the city of Redwood
City to draft legislation to grandfather the community to remain on the
creek.
To deal with the admittedly rundown infrastructure, long-term leases
for slips might be sold to homeowners, and that money used to build a
new marina. Residents already have
plans and bids to build this new
marina. Docktown should also manage our own marina, just as the
Mission Creek floating home marina
does.
Docktown represents one of the
last areas in Redwood City where our
homes that float are affordable, yet
the city seems determined to push us
out in favor of more million-dollar
condos. Lets keep and improve our
unique and quirky marina.
If you like the idea of a Redwood
City floating community, email your
support to Redwood City Council at
council@redwoodcity.org.

ecently I drove off the Bayshore freeway at Harbor


Boulevard in Belmont and saw a political yard
sign. Thats not unusual during an election season,
but this one was different. It was so unusual that I pulled
over, walked back to the off-ramp and took a picture of it.
The yard sign was for a candidate for the San Mateo
County Democrat Central Committee.
I would suspect that not even 1
in 10 voters know that there is
even such a thing as a Democrat
(or Republican) central committee, much less have any idea what
it does. Yet here was a yard sign
touting a candidate for that position. Not only that, but Ive
received six separate slate mailers in my mailbox promoting a
set of candidates for the San
Mateo County Republican
Central Committee.
Usually these elections are
John McDowell
sleepy affairs with the county
committees having to twist arms to get people to run. Many
times, committee slots remain open and appointees have to
ll them. But not this year. Something is going on here and
across California that is under most peoples radar, but that
could inuence county and state politics for years to come.
Political party county central committees are the foundation of any party. Their reason for existence seems simple
enough. It is to register voters, recruit and support candidates, and turn out party voters during elections. The members of the central committees are the workhorses of the
party. Theyre the ones who make phone calls, knock on
doors, plant yard signs, solicit donations and do all the
things necessary to advance their partys chances in local
elections.
These are unpaid positions (in fact, central committee
members are usually expected to donate regularly and pay
party dues) that often can result in spending hundreds of
hours in unrecognized volunteer time each year. Its not
glamorous, but its important work.
However, they do one other thing that can have a dramatic
impact on local politics. They vote on endorsing candidates
for ofce. Thats why there is a battle being waged for central committee positions. Candidate endorsements equal
endorsements of policy positions. In effect, the central
committee elections are about purposed government policies and political ideology, which are the heart and soul of
political parties.
Thats why this year were seeing so much activity on the
local level. Its a reection of larger national trends: insurgents versus establishment, convictions versus politics as
usual, millennials versus baby boomers and more.
On the Democrat side, the battle is being waged mostly
through social media including a Strong Dems Slate
Facebook page highlighting the backing of the local elected establishment (U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, state Sen. Jerry
Hill and Assemblyman Kevin Mullin) for certain candidates
in supervisorial District 3. Im told other central committee
candidates have used direct mail; most notably Harbor
Commissioner Sabrina Brennan in the same district. Various
Democrat clubs have weighed in as well.
For Republicans, a spirited campaign is being waged
between the local Tea Party organization MyLibertys slate
and a group of establishment moderates supported by a
Sacramento PAC that has spent huge sums up and down the
state to elect its brand of Republicans. The We Are the
GOP group, funded by the Spirit of Democracy PAC, has
used sophisticated targeted direct mail, social media advertising and email to promote a full list across the county.
More money is actually being spent on these below-theradar Republican races (almost $3,000 per candidate, according to recent lings) than on Republican races for Assembly
and state Senate.
In this surprising and turbulent election season, its easy
to pay attention the shiny objects the latest outrageous
utterances from Donald Trump or the fact that a 74-year-old
who never held a job until he was 40 could be attractive to
millennials. Nevertheless, the two-thirds of San Mateo
County voters who are either Republicans or Democrats
should look below the radar, way down on their ballots and
decide which of the little-known names would be the best to
lead their party in the years to come.
And if you vote in the central committee elections, youll
make local political activists glad they spent time to set up
a Facebook account and website, or the money on yard signs
even if most people have no idea what theyre talking
about.
Editors note: Regular columnist Jonathan Madison is taking a break from writing his column while he studies for the
bar exam. Filling in for him is former columnist John
McDowell.

Insider Q&A with Proofpoints Vice President Devin Redmond


By Bree Fowler
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The rise of social


media has given brands a quick and
efficient way to communicate with
consumers.
But hackers are using those
same channels such as popular
public Facebook pages and Twitter
accounts to dupe their followers
into clicking on links that spread
viruses or steal login information
for banking and other accounts. In
addition, other people will post
on brands social media accounts
and use them as sounding boards

for various causes or hate speech


usually unrelated to the company,
which could reflect poorly on it.
As a result, businesses face a
never-ending task of policing
their social media accounts.
Thats where Proofpoint comes
in. The Sunnyvale-based company, best known for protecting
email communications, expanded
to social media security about two
years ago. Services include finding accounts using a brand without
authorization, keeping legitimate
accounts safe from hacking and
stopping employees from inadvertent disclosures.

Lily Moffitt is consistently one


of the loudest players on the diamond for Half Moon Bay softball.
Through the Cougars Central
Coast Section Division III championship run though, she let her
bat do the talking for her. The
sophomore had a perfect showing through HMBs final two
games a 6-2 win over Notre
Dame-Belmont in the semifinals;
and a 9-2 win over Notre DameSalinas in Saturdays championship reaching base in each
of her eight plate appearances,
going 7 for 7 with a hit by pitch
to earn Daily Journal Athlete of
the Week honors.
She had a great week, HMB
head coach Claire Rietmann-Grout
said. She loves the game. Her
heart was in it and she really wanted to contribute to the team.
Moffitt wasnt the only Cougars
batters to catch fire at the plate.
HMB totaled 37 hits through three
postseason games, including 29
between the semis and finals.
Hitting through the order top to
bottom didnt happen by accident.
Its a virtue Rietmann-Grout stresses to her lineup, that every spot in
the order is important. Its also a
virtue that translates to the defensive side of the diamond, according
to Moffitt, whose boisterous personality in the middle of the infield
fits right in with the constant chatter of everyone in the orange-andblack while on the diamond.
Ive always been loud because
Ive been playing shortstop for a
long time, Moffitt said. Its better for everyone to communicate.

CCS Division II title game anything but usual


I

t was a wacky day at San Jose Municipal


Stadium Saturday for the Central Coast
Section Division II championship game
between third-seed Menlo School and top-seeded
Carmel.
First, there was the horrible trafc due to San
Jose States graduation ceremony. For those not
familiar with that area of San Jose, Muni is a
stones throw from Spartan Stadium, where the
graduation was held. The ceremony ended just as
the teams buses were arriving and it took nearly

an hour for the Menlo bus to get into the parking


lot at Muni. One CCS ofcial said it took a police
escort to get the buses to the stadium.
Menlo assistant coach Mike McAdams told me
the Knights got to the Muni parking lot just
before noon for the 1 p.m. rst pitch. He said he
didnt know what time the Carmel bus arrived,
only noting that the Padres got to the park after
the Knights did.
All the trafc and hassle caused the game to be
delayed by 15 minutes as both teams still needed to

go through their warm-up process. It was at this


point it appeared Carmel was out of sorts. The
Padres were horrible during its pre-game ineld/outeld practice. The players were sailing balls all
over the eld, while even the Carmel coach hitting
the balls appeared ustered as he struggled to consistently hit the ball for ineld practice.
Contrast that to Menlo, which was smooth and
calm during their ineld period.

waited to congratulate Terra at the middle of

This season has been a lot more fun for
Moffitt after a topsy-turvy freshman season. Because of her foot speed, the natural
right-handed hitting Moffitt attempted to
convert to the left side of the plate in hopes
of becoming a slap hitter. It didnt take and
she resorted back to the right side this season, and went on to hit for a .395 average.
The slap-hitting experience wasnt a total
loss though, Moffitt said.
It was a good experience because usually
if youre a slapper you have to have good
hand-eye coordination, Moffitt said.

As 3, Twins 2

Crisp leads As
past Twins 3-2
By Michael Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Healthy and playing regularly


for the first time in three years, Coco Crisp is
finally producing the way he did earlier in his
career with the As.
Not even a collision with teammate Chris
Coghlan was enough to
slow down Oaklands 36year-old veteran outfielder.
Crisp homered leading
off the game, Khris Davis
hit a tiebreaking sacrifice
fly in the sixth inning
and the As beat the Twins
3-2 Monday.
As long as I can go out
Coco Crisp
there and give whatever I
got, whatever it is, 100 percent, then Im
going to try to do that, Crisp said. If they
keep throwing me out there then I want to be
out there. Its working out.
The game marked Crisps 15 consecutive
start his longest stretch since 2014 when he
began to get saddled with a series of injuries.
Crisp hit his fifth home run this season
on the second pitch from Santana, the 16th
leadoff homer of his career. He also survived a collision with Coghlan after
Coughlan made a tremendous catch in the
fifth while both men were chasing down
Brian Doziers sacrifice fly.
Its easy for me having a guy like that, who
plays all-out, who plays hard all the time,
Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. For some
of the new guys coming in, this is how we
play. And then when hes healthy, hes usually
productive, and he definitely is.
Jed Lowrie added two hits and scored the
game-winning run for Oakland while first
baseman Yonder Alonso singled, scored and
made a diving catch to end a threat in the seventh and strand the potential tying and goahead runs in scoring position.
Kendall Graveman pitched six uneven
innings to win for the first time in more than a
month for the As. Oakland has won three
straight since dropping the opener of this sixgame homestand.
All of the As runs came off Twins starter
Erwin Santana. Santana (1-4) gave up seven
hits in seven innings with five strikeouts.
Graveman (2-6) allowed two runs and six
hits for his first win since April 20. The righthander struck out five and walked three.
John Axford, Sean Doolittle and Ryan
Madson pitched the final three innings for
Oakland. Madson retired three batters in the
ninth for his 12th save.

Giants Memorial Day comeback falls short

ATLANTA Bruce Bochy didnt like some


of the ball and strike calls on Jeff Samardzija.
Samardzija didnt like the results.
Samardzija fell short in his attempt to win
four straight starts for the first time in his
career and the Giants fell to Mike Foltynewicz
and the Atlanta Braves 5-3 on Monday for a
rare road loss.
The Giants suffered only their third loss in
their past 15 road games. Overall, it was San
Franciscos third loss in 18 games.
Samardzija (7-3) allowed five runs, four
earned, and six hits and two walks in five
innings his shortest start of the season.
Bochy said some calls on pitches went
against Samardzija.
I was getting frustrated, Bochy said.
Some of those pitches looked pretty good.
Samardzija said the start was just kind of
puzzling.
Ill have to go back and look at it and break
it down a little better, he said. Obviously a
couple walks didnt help, either.

Cubs staff one-hits Dodgers
CHICAGO Jason Hammel wasnt thrilled
to leave Mondays game after two innings of
one-hit ball because of right hamstring
cramps.
At least he could joke about it afterward.
I blew the no-hitter, he cracked.
Travis Wood and three other relievers combined for seven perfect innings after Hammel
left, and the Chicago Cubs one-hit the Los
Angeles Dodgers 2-0.
It was the Cubs sixth straight victory after
losing eight of 12. They have the best record
in baseball and are a season-high 21 games
over .500 (35-14).
Hammel exited after cramping while warming up for the third inning. Wood (3-0)
pitched four perfect innings in his longest
stint of the season to get the win.
Justin Grimm, Pedro Strop and Hector
Rondon pitched one inning each for the Cubs,
with Rondon getting his ninth save.
Thats the longest hitless performance in a
game by Cubs relievers since they went 8 1/3
innings Sept. 26, 1948. Cubs pitchers retired
the final 25 batters Monday, a franchise best
since at least 1974, according to STATS.
Ben Zobrist extended his hitting streak to a
career-high-tying 16 games. He singled leading off the fifth and reached third when right
fielder Yasiel Puig misplayed the ball. He
scored on Jason Heywards infield single.

allowed only one other runner to advance to
second.
Bochy said Foltynewicz was pounding the
strike zone with all his pitches. We just couldnt mount much off him.
Samardzija and the Giants paid for a decision
to issue an intentional walk to A.J. Pierzynski,
loading the bases with one out in the second.
Samardzija struck out Foltynewicz, the No. 8
hitter, before Mallex Smiths three-run triple to

the left-center gap. It was Smiths third triple,


and he ranks second on the team with 18 RBIs.

from Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday when
Matt Cain was placed on the disabled list with

Rainy day at
French Open
By John Leicester
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS Not so much the French Open as


the French closed.
For the first time in 16 years, unrelenting
rain Monday washed out a full day of play at
the only Grand Slam tennis venue without a
retractable roof over its show court, clogging
the schedule with unfinished and postponed
matches and prompting the frustrated tournament director to plead again for a roof as
soon as possible.
If the weather breaks Tuesday, matches will
start three hours earlier than initially planned
and be spread over more courts. Despite forecasts of more rain, Forget said he is pretty
positive there will be play. The schedule for
Tuesday now has top-ranked Novak Djokovic
against 14th-seeded Roberto Bautista Agut in
the first match on Chatrier, playing for a
place in the quarterfinals.
They will be followed by defending champion Serena Williams in her delayed fourthround match against 18th-seeded Elina
Svitolina. Venus Williams match against
2015 semifinalist Timea Bacsinszky was supposed to have been played on Chatrier on
Monday but was rescheduled as the third
match Tuesday on Court Suzanne Lenglen.
The first mens quarterfinals are also scheduled: Second-seeded Andy Murray against
Richard Gasquet is the third match on
Chatrier, and defending champion Stan
Wawrinka against Albert Ramos-Vinolas of
Spain is scheduled last on Lenglen.
For the tournament to have the singles
finals over the weekend as planned, players
could be asked to play on consecutive days,
which is usual when conditions are ideal. That
should not be a huge problem in womens singles, which play best-of-three sets, but could
be tougher on men if their singles matches go
to five sets. Forget didnt rule out that the
finals could also be postponed.

Then, during the pregame introductions,
Menlos Chandler Yu trotted out as the
Knights starting pitcher. Normally, not a
big deal but, in this case, Yu would be making his second start of the week which
is extremely rare at the high school level,
at least in CCS. Yu pitched ve inning in
picking up a 10-7 win over Capuchino
Wednesday, then, on three days rest, started and pitched ve more innings in the

Once the game started, it appeared that it
might be Menlo that would become the
more ustered team. It became evident as
early as the second batter of the game that

seconds to relay signs. The ump would signal the Menlo batter to get back in the box
in hopes of speeding up the game. It got to
the point where even with the Knights still
receiving signs, the ump would indicate to
the Carmel pitcher he was OK to begin his
delivery whether the batter was ready or
not.
It got to the point where in the second
inning, Menlo assistant coach Tink
Reynoso yelled out to Cavan to get faster
with the signs because the pitcher was
looking to quick-pitch the Knights a
strategy that gets the batter out of their
rhythm.
Technically, the Carmel pitcher was not
quick-pitching the Knights. It was just that
it was taking so long for signs to be
relayed. Cavan nally picked up his pace.
Then, there was the matter of both teams
wearing out the right side of the eld. I saw
more balls hit to second base or right eld

second base or right eld 10 for each

And just to cap off a crazy day at the
ballpark, the CCS championship trophy
was stolen. CCS ofcials grabbed the
Division I trophy to give to Menlo to take
pictures and whatnot, but will have to order
another one.
Or will they? Mercury News reporter
Darren Sabedra tweeted out the trophy had
been stolen. Sunday in his Twitter timeline, there was an anonymous post from
someone claiming to have swiped the
award. Dont know if that person has sent
the trophy to Menlo or CCS or if this person was even telling the truth. It was just
the capper to a strange day at the ballpark.
In the end, Menlo handled the wackiness
a little better than Carmel and it resulted in
the Knights sixth CCS title in school history with a 9-4 victory.

Menlo pitcher claims CCS wins crown

Augie Garrido, the winningest coach in college baseball history 25 wins


shy of No. 2,000, will not return to manage the Longhorns in 2017.

Garrido out at Texas


By Jim Vertuno
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AUSTIN, Texas Augie Garrido,


the winningest coach in college
baseball history, is out after 20 seasons at Texas.
The decision Monday comes after
the Longhorns first losing season
since 1998. Texas will miss the
NCAA postseason for the third time
in five years.
The university said in a statement
Monday the 77-year-old Garrido
was relinquishing his duties as
coach and will become special
assistant to athletic director Mike
Perrin. Garrido, who had one year
left on a contract that paid him
nearly $1.1 million, had said he
wouldnt resign and wanted to stay.
Augie has long been among the
best coaches in college athletics,
an exceptional developer of young
men, great leader and tremendous
representative of our university,

Perrin said. I have deep appreciation, admiration and gratitude for


all that he has accomplished in his
20 years leading our baseball program.
Garrido a Vallejo native who
started his coaching career at San
Francisco State had 1,975 victories dating back to 1969 to go
along with five College World
Series titles. Three came with CalState Fullerton, 1979, 1984 and
1995, and the last two with Texas,
in 2002 and 2005.
Texas this season finished 25-32.
The Longhorns advanced deep into
the weekends Big 12 Tournament
but ended the season with an 8-2
loss to TCU.
Florida State coach Mike Martin
called Garrido an icon.
I am surprised he has stepped
down, but hes a guy a lot of young
coaches got information from,
Martin said in a statement. Hes a
good man.

When Chandler Yu earned two


straight victories to close out
Menlos Central Coast Section
Division II championship, it thrust
the junior right-hander into the
chips in earning the wins crown in
CCS, according to MaxPreps.com.
I told Chandler Yu at the beginning of the season he was going to
have 10 wins at the end of the season because I thought he was
that good, Menlo manager Ryan
Cavan said.
Yu actually did one better, totaling 11 victories on the season.
Entering the postseason with an
8-2 record, Yu notched three playoff
wins. His first came in the postseason opener against Menlos old
CCS nemesis Soquel. He then
moved into a tie for the CCS wins
lead with a victory over Capuchino
last Tuesday in the semifinals.
Saturday he took the championship-game start on three days
rest against top-seed Carmel and
earned the victory, crowning him
with a CCS-best 11th win, prompting Cavan to dub his ace as Menlos
Madison Bumgarner.
Tied for second place for wins in
CCS were three seniors, each with
10 Westmonts Jason Munsch,
Willow Glens Joe Hutchings and
Brahams Arman Sabouri. Yu also
moved into a tie for the fourth-best
wins total in the state. Fremont
Christian freshman Bubba Gomez
led all California pitchers, according to MaxPreps, with 13 wins.
Yu fell one short of the all-time
Menlo wins leaders, as Andy Suiter
and Chuck Huggins each earned 12
victories in 2004.

TERRY BERNAL/DAILY JOURNAL

Menlo junior Chandler Yu led the CCS with 11 wins this season.
In his first full season as a starting pitcher, Yu first caught the eye
of Cavan last season when he took
the ball in the opening game of the
Peninsula Athletic League postseason tournament. While the Knights
finished the year with just six wins
in the regular season, Yu earned a
complete-game victory over PAL
Ocean
Division
champion
Hillsdale, outdueling right-hander
Ro Mohanty for his first successful
outing as a starting pitcher.
Thats when I knew Chandler
was the real deal, Cavan said.
Yu also flexed his muscles at the
plate against Hillsdale last season
by taking Mohanty deep in that
game. This season in the CCS
semifinals against Capuchino, he
had a similar display of power with
a pair of doubles, including a drive

to straightaway center field that


one-hopped the wall at San Joses
Municipal Stadium.
Cavan who said he believes Yu
is a Division I talent signed off
on Yu as a two-way collegiate
prospect.
I think he could be a two-way guy
Division I, Cavan said, noting Yu
is still growing into his 6-3 frame
and has a strong mental makeup that
will serve him well at the next level.
Menlos opening-day starter this
year, Yu totaled an 11-2 record with
a 1.68 ERA. He totaled 75 innings,
striking out 59 and walking 20. He
also missed out on a win in arguably
his most dominant outing of the
year on March 9, working nine
innings only to take a no-decision
in an eventual 2-1 win in the 10th
over Terra Nova.

Continued from page 11
Game 6 comeback that sent the
series home to raucous Oracle
Arena for one more.
The Warriors became the 10th
team to rally from a 3-1 deficit and
win a postseason series. They
return to the NBA Finals for a
rematch with James and the
Cleveland Cavaliers, who lost the
2015 title in six games as Golden
State captured its first championship in 40 years.
Game 1 is Thursday night in
Oakland.
His signature mouthpiece dangling out and the game ball cradled
in his left hand, Curry pumped his
right arm as yellow confetti fell
through Oracle Arena once the
final buzzer sounded.
This is who he is. Having a
clutch performance in a Game 7,
thats Steph Curry, Kerr said.
The Thunder trailing 90-86,
Serge Ibaka fouled Curry on a 3point try with 1:18 to go and the
shot clock running out. Curry
made all three free throws, then a
3-pointer to seal it.
And Golden States beloved
Strength In Numbers catchphrase coined by Coach of the Year
Kerr was needed in every way on
this night to do it.
No one had any doubt we could
get this done, Draymond Green
said.
Andre Iguodala joined the starting lineup for just the second time
all season and the 2015 NBA
Finals MVP hung tough against
Kevin Durant, who scored 27
points on 10-for-19 shooting.

Draymond Green dunks against Russell Westbrook in Game 7 of the


Western conference finals of the NBA Playoffs at Oracle Arena.
provided a big lift off the Warriors
bench.
Oklahoma City won Game 1
108-102 at deafening Oracle
Arena, so Golden State never envisioned this one coming easily.
Russell Westbrook had 19 points,
13 assists and seven rebounds for
the Thunder.
It took a quarter and a half for
Thompson to warm up after his 41point performance in a 108-101
win Saturday at Oklahoma City
that sent the series to a decisive
seventh game back home in the
East Bay.
He missed his initial seven
shots before hitting a 3 6:02
before halftime, energizing the
Warriors in their first Game 7 at
home in 40 years.
Back-to-back 3-pointers by
Thompson and Iguodala pulled the
Warriors within 54-51 with 7:57
left in the third. They tied it on
Currys 3 at 7:21 and he followed
with another 3 to give his team the
lead.
Curry and Thompson each
topped the previous record for 3s

in a seven-game series, 28 by
Dennis Scott and Ray Allen. Curry
hit one over 7-foot Steven Adams
in the third, and Thompson wound
up with 30.
Iguodala replaced Harrison
Barnes in the starting lineup and
what a move by Kerr and his staff,
who did the same thing last year in
crunch time. Iguodala made a pretty bounce pass through the paint
to Green for Golden States first
basket of the game, and his smothering defense on Durant kept the
Thunder star without a shot until
his 3 at the 5:45 mark in the first.
Durant had just nine points on five
shots in the first half.
But Oklahoma City dictated the
tempo with snappy passes and the
hard, aggressive rebounding that
had been such a part of its success
this season. The Thunder couldnt
sustain it.
The Warriors, who began 3 for 11
from long range and 9 of 32 overall
while falling behind 35-22, lost
their last Game 7 at home: 94-86 to
Phoenix in the Western Conference
finals on May 16, 1976.

U.N. health agency rejects call to postpone Rio Olympics


By Geir Moulson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BERLIN The World Health Organization on Saturday


rejected a call from 150 health experts to consider postponing or moving the Rio Summer Olympics due to the Zika
virus in hard-hit Brazil, arguing that the shift would make no
significant difference to the spread of the virus.
The U.N. health agency, which declared the spread of Zika
in the Americas a global emergency in February, said in a
statement there is no public health justification for postponing or canceling the 2016 games, which run from Aug. 521.
Hundreds of thousands of people from around the world are
expected to travel to Rio de Janeiro and other Brazilian destinations this summer to see some 10,000 athletes compete at
the games.
In an open letter to the WHO director-general released
Friday, experts from over two dozen countries in fields
including public health, bioethics and pediatrics among
them former White House science adviser Dr. Philip Rubin
called for the Rio games to be delayed or relocated, though
not canceled, in the name of public health.
Fridays letter cited recent scientific evidence that the Zika
virus causes severe birth defects , most notably babies born
with abnormally small heads. In adults, it can cause neurological problems, including a rare syndrome that can be fatal
or result in temporary paralysis.
The authors also noted that despite increased efforts to
wipe out the mosquitoes that spread Zika, the number of
infections in Rio de Janeiro have gone up rather than down.
Several public health academics have previously warned
that having so many people travel to the games in Brazil will
inevitably lead to the births of more brain-damaged babies
and speed up the virus global spread.
WHO, however, said based on current assessment, cancelling or changing the location of the 2016 Olympics will
not significantly alter the international spread of Zika
virus. It argued that Brazil is only one of dozens of countries
where mosquitoes transmit the Zika virus and says people
continue to travel between these countries and territories for
a variety of reasons.
Based on the current assessment of the Zika virus circulating in almost 60 countries globally and 39 in the Americas,
there is no public health justification for postponing or cancelling the games, it said. WHO will continue to monitor
the situation and update our advice as necessary.
The agency noted its existing advice urging pregnant
women not to travel to areas with Zika transmission, among
other recommendations, and says other travelers should
avoid the poor, overcrowded parts of Rio.
One of the letters authors wasnt impressed by the U.N.
agencys arguments.
The WHOs response is absolutely fanciful, said Amir
Attaran, a professor at the University of Ottawa and one of
the letters authors. He called WHOs argument that Zika is
already being transmitted by mosquitoes in up to 60 countries a scientific half-truth.
Theyre avoiding the question of Is it Brazilian Zika in
other countries? he said.
Fridays letter pointed to the particularly high risks from
the Zika virus strain seen in Brazil, which has by far the most
Zika cases in the world and the most brain-damaged Zika
babies.

HOMES
Continued from page 1
ing to a recent report from Home Advisor,
which showed renovations are becoming
more popular and more money is spent being
spent on improvement projects than last
year.
The trend follows in San Mateo County,
according to local money lenders and mortgage brokers who claim they are seeing a rise
in financing as many locals are looking to
capitalize on low interest rates to increase
the value of their homes.
The preferred projects span in size and
scope from bathroom and kitchen remodels
to complete overhauls of existing homes,
said Pete Scattini, a home loan manager with
Bank of America in Foster City, who said he
has especially witnessed an uptick recently
in refinancing for renovations.
We are seeing a tremendous amount of
refinance activity for various projects
because financing is so cheap at this point in
time, he said.
Both fixed-rate mortgages and home equity
lines of credit are popular choices for financing the projects which may seem especially
intriguing to those who want to upgrade their
home, but would rather continue enjoying
their established tax base than jump back
into the competitive and expensive local
housing market, said Scattini.
Luis Wong, a broker with Mortgage Master
in Burlingame, said he has also noticed a
growing trend of locals who may be dissatis-

fied with their current home, but are unable


to, or uninterested in, testing the scorching
San Mateo County real estate industry.
That is the quagmire, said Wong. A lot
of people want to buy if they could, but the
affordability gap is still wide and it makes it
very difficult.
The growing popularity of seeking financing to renovate locally is consistent across
the county, according to the trend shown by
Home Advisor in the online home improvement resources annual true cost report,
which shows fewer Americans are using cash
to pay for home improvement projects.
According to the report, 81 percent of
homeowners have paid for their home
improvement projects with cash in 2016, a
slight dip from the year prior when 83 percent preferred cash to financing.
This suggests a slight year-over-year
increase in the use of financing to pay for
home improvement projects, according to
the report.
In all, home improvements and repairs are
becoming much more common nationally,
according to the report, which showed 35
percent of homeowners completed two rehabilitation projects in the last 12 months, an
increase of 12 percent from the year prior.
Americans are also spending more money
on the projects, according to the report
showing 79 percent of homeowners spent
more than $1,000 last year on major home
improvements last year, an uptick of 47 percent from the previous year.
The trend should continue as well, according to the report, which claims homeowners
expect to spend a lot more on major home
upgrades in 2016 than they did in 2015.

The report culls information from a survey


exploring the ways which people from
across the nation budget, save and pay for
home repairs, and also draws from a database
on millions of homeowner projects.
A variety of factors, including the dearth of
affordable homes across the county, have
compelled more property owners to invest in
their property recently, according to the
report.
The bad news is that the resulting situation is making it harder for many would-be
buyers to find affordable new homes. The
good news is that its providing homeowners
equity that may be leveraged to further boost
the enjoyment and monetary values of their
existing properties, according to the report.
Consequently, homeowners who would otherwise upgrade to a more desirable home are
choosing to stay put and make necessary
repairs and improvements. And newer home
buyers are buying and renovating older
homes.
The cost of housing in San Mateo County,
one of the most expensive markets in the
nation, has been a challenge for some
lenders.
David Herzer, of Herzer Financial Services
in Redwood City, said he has seen a slight
decline in business recently as approximately one-third of his loans are to those who
acquire homes to resell them.
So little relatively affordable housing
stock is available to those looking to turn
the property around quickly for sale, said
Herzer, the house flipping industry has taken
a hit in San Mateo County.
I suppose there is a little less activity
because there are less opportunities for flip-

pers to buy something at a good price, he


said. You have got to make a good buy to
make any money. Its challenging for flippers these days, more so than in the past few
years.
Herzer, who specializes in direct lending,
said another major component of his business is offering loans to those who build a
new home from the ground up on property
previously housing an older residence.
Often those who buy land, demolish the
site and construct a new, larger home are selling the property for a profit to the tune of $1
million to $2 million, said Herzer.
The result of such projects is changing the
character of neighborhoods along the
Peninsula, said Herzer.
Its a good thing overall that the housing
stock is refreshed, updated and renewed every
now and then, he said. And right now, that
is whats going on.
In the renovation market, the size and
scope of the preferred project offers the
homeowner the greatest opportunity for
return on investment, according to the
report.
Larger, more expensive projects, constructing new homes, improving curb appeal
and heightening energy efficiency contributed to an uptick in resale price, according to data from a study by Remodeling
Magazine, cited in the Home Advisor report.
But whether the project is a complete overhaul, a necessary fix or merely cosmetic
improvement, Scattini said the focus of any
project should be making a house a better
home.
We are just trying to get people to a place
where they are more comfortable, he said.

Vietnam War veteran, spoke during


Mondays ceremony and passed out pins. He
noted the fact that 70 years ago the vast
majority of Americans had a loved one in
the military. That is not case today, he said.
Gleichenhaus and Ruocco shared the stories of fallen servicemen and servicewomen
as the crowd listened under the warmth of
the sun Ralph Redmond, an U.S. Army
infantry advisor who died in Vietnam;
Nathan Bruckenthal, who was serving in the
U.S. Coast Guard when he was killed in Iraq;
and Che Barnes, who died in a Southern
California crash while enlisted with the
U.S. Coast Guard.
We talk about the verb to sacrifice. In the
52 years since my friend Ralph was killed, I
have enjoyed many things, Gleichenhaus

said, noting the young Army soldier died in


Vietnam. Children, special events, parties,
graduations thats what Ralph gave up.
The happy events I have known since 1964
are what Ralph Redmond sacrificed for us.
Gary Shweid, who served in the U.S. Air
Force during the Vietnam War, received a
commemorative pin and attended the annual
Memorial Day ceremony as a volunteer with
the San Mateo chapter of the American
Legion Riders.
The observance brings out pride and
gratefulness for all the servicemen and
women that put their lives on the line every
day, Shweid said. It brings it all back
home. You see all these headstones and you
cant help but get a little teary eyed about all
the folks that we lost just trying to protect
our rights.
Volunteers gathered over the weekend to
decorate each grave site, an endeavor sponsored by the Avenue of Flags Committee.
There is also an ongoing effort to maintain
the historic cemetery, reset gravestones and
this years Memorial Day observance was
the first to be held at a recently remodeled
section along Circle Drive, said committee
member Regina Gonnella.
Its important for the families to have

some place, and some recognition of the


fact that a member of their family served and
maybe even lost their lives in active duty,
said Gonnella, whose sister was in the U.S.
Navy.
Cemetery Manager Kathy McCall also
spoke during Mondays service urging
attendees to recognize those buried around
the 160-acre site.
We are a nation truly blessed to have
such men and women that will step forward
and defend us at the risk and cost of their
lives, McCall said.
Just before Gleichenhaus handed out pins
and shook hands with dozens of his fellow
Vietnam War veterans, he emphasized that
future sacrifices are likely and so too is continuing to honor the dead.
If we could depend on living in a world
where there was no conflict, where nations
and individual groups did not threaten or
attack somebody else, maybe there would be
no need for our armed forces, Gleichenhaus
said. Thats not the case, so our nation
calls upon individuals to serve. And unfortunately, when theres conflict, people get
killed. On Memorial Day, today, we make a
special effort to remember those who
served.

Guarding against deadly blows

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Jack Crowley was 15


when a baseball hit him in the chest and
stopped his heart. The Long Island teen survived thanks to a police officer who grabbed
a defibrillator and shocked his heart back
into rhythm.
A blow to the chest one that hits at just
the wrong spot, at just the wrong time
can trigger deadly cardiac arrest. Fortunately
its rare. But most victims are otherwise
healthy kid athletes. And survival hinges on
fast use of those heart-zapping defibrillators
that not every athletic league or school
keeps near the playing fields.
There soon may be another attempt at protection: A U.S. organization that oversees
athletic equipment has proposed the first
performance standard for chest protectors to
reduce the risk from those blows, a step that
could lead to updated gear.
Nancy Crowley finds it hard to watch her
three sports-loving sons games since
Jacks scary near-miss in a batting cage a
year ago. She calls the latest move by the
athletic industry overdue.
You cannot live in a bubble, acknowledged Crowley, who helped lobby local athletic officials to improve access to defibrillators but wants more protection. If a standard has come along that they feel is going
to protect them in some way, Im thrilled.
Cardiac arrest, when the heart abruptly
stops beating, is uncommon in young people, especially athletes who presumably are
in their prime. There are no good counts in
kids athletics. Whatever the number or
whatever the cause cardiac arrest is getting more attention from parents, coaches
and heart specialists who say deaths should
be preventable.
Indeed, NCAA guidelines recently reported
in the Journal of the American College of
Cardiology say defibrillators should be kept
in the immediate vicinity of high risk locations such as weight rooms, basketball
courts and ball fields.
For younger students, many states have
laws encouraging or requiring defibrillators
in schools but few specify athletic facilities, according to the advocacy group Parent
Heart Watch.
The most frequent cause of cardiac arrest in
a young athlete is an underlying structural
problem of the heart, such as a thickened

The National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment, or NOCSAE, funded creation of a sort of crash-test dummy to
prove what gear really reduces the risk, and proposed the first standard for chest protectors used in baseball and lacrosse that aim to do so.
heart muscle, the problem often behind
headline-making collapses of basketball
players.
The chest protector standards take aim at a
different problem: Every year, an estimated
10 to 20 people suffer whats called commotio cordis cardiac arrest caused by a blow
to the chest. A voluntary registry that has
collected information on more than 250
cases over two decades does show survival
increasing in recent years thanks to more
defibrillator access.
The highest risk is to boys under 15, when
the chest wall is still flexible, not as sturdy
as it will become by their 20s when such
deaths hardly ever are reported.
About a third of the time, victims were
wearing some form of chest protector when
they collapsed, showing at least some of

todays equipment isnt enough, said Dr.


Mark Link, a heart specialist at Tufts
University Medical Center who spent more
than a decade unraveling just how commotio
cordis occurs.
Links tests, using young pigs as a model,
revealed that killer hits are those landing
directly over the heart, at about 40 miles an
hour and in the milliseconds between
heartbeats.
Armed with that science, the National
Operating Committee on Standards for
Athletic Equipment, or NOCSAE, funded creation of a sort of crash-test dummy to prove
what gear really reduces the risk, and proposed the first standard for chest protectors
used in baseball and lacrosse that aim to do
so.
The idea: find materials that disperse the

heart-damaging force of a blow without


impeding players movements whether
theyre catchers or youngsters playing other
positions who may wear shirt-like chest
coverings under their uniforms. Guarding
against commotio cordis may require a different design than standard foam that blocks
a broken rib. Among the questions is how to
integrate protection against both.
The standard is expected to be completed
in January; only then could manufacturers
label gear certified as meeting it. NOCSAEs
recommendations often are adopted by
sports governing bodies. Its not clear what
such gear would cost.
Already, one company that uses militarygrade materials in sports equipment has
developed some lightweight protection it
expects to fit the bill.

NDNU
Continued from page 1
in March, the school agreed to the
National Labor Relations Board overseeing the election wherein about 85
percent of the full-time faculty voters
reportedly favored unionizing.
Both full-time and part-time faculty
will join Service Employees
International Union, SEIU, Local
1021 and negotiations are expected
to involve salaries, working conditions, contracts and more.
The tenured faculty at Notre Dame
de Namur did what no one said was
possible they organized and voted
to be part of a union. We know the
tenured faculty at NDNU are the first
of its kind to organize with SEIU, and
perhaps the first tenured faculty to
organize with a union in the nation.
This has not been done in a private
university since 1980, when the
courts established precedent limiting
working peoples ability and right to
organize. Faculty, joined by students, stoop up and fought for this
hard-won victory, SEIU Local 1021
spokesman Carlos Rivera wrote in an
email.
But moving forward, university
officials indicated professors may
consequentially lose their managerial influence such as helping develop student curriculums or determining
who should receive tenure now that
theyre unionized.
Both full-time and part-time NDNU
faculty were inspired to act because of
their low pay and the regions high
cost of living, said tenured sociology
professor Bobby Vaughn, a 12-year
employee who helped organize the
union.
Vaughn noted the collective bargaining entity aligns with the
schools Catholic teachings and is
hopeful it could inspire others across
the nation.
One of the things that makes us
most proud is to be somewhat of a
pioneer in this regard and its entirely consistent with the mission of our
university, which emphasizes social
justice, economic justice, equality
and taking care of one another,
Vaughn said.

Next steps
The union formed quickly since faculty first announced their intent earlier this year. The university did not
challenge the full-time facultys
request, instead, Greig and the Board
of Trustees decided to no longer
invest full-time faculty with managerial authority, according to NDNU
attorney Mike Vartain.

But Kim Tolley, director of NDNUs


master of arts in education program,
said the faculty never had any true
managerial influence, had no real say
in the schools $34 million annual
budget and university officials never
petitioned the NLRB to make a ruling
on whether their faculty had a true
management role.
Tolley noted professors had been
preparing for a long, drawn-out battle
to form a union but was pleased that
Greig and school officials ultimately
didnt protest the move that was also
supported by many students.
Greig was not available for comment, however, Vartain noted
changes in operation may result from
the faculty choosing to unionize
instead of retain certain management
roles. While no decisions have been
made, its uncertain whether professors will continue to have a role on
various committees; such as those
that oversee appointments, promotions, tenure as well as undergraduate
and graduate curriculums, Vartain
said.
Greig and other school officials
voiced concerns when the teachers
first announced they were seeking to
unionize, adding additional costs
could ultimately be born upon students through tuition. The university
is also seeking to raise funds for
multi-million-dollar
capital
improvement projects, such as a $20
million retrofit of its historic
Ralston Hall.
Vartain emphasized the university
agreed not to protest the election and
is hopeful faculty will be mindful of
NDNUs financial capabilities.
He expects negotiations to take
place in the coming months.
The next thing thats going to
happen is serious collective bargaining. And we know our faculty are very
aware of our precarious situation and
we expect them to negotiate in a
responsible manner, Vartain said.
[Greig is] just hoping that we can
move forward and get a contract that
is fair for everybody.
Full-time professors sought to
unite with their part-time counter-

parts, who teach more than half of the


courses and make up nearly 75 percent of the faculty, according to
Vaughn and Tolley. The full-time and
part-time professors were hoping to
unite in
future negotiations.
However, theres an apparent disconnect as Vartain said the full-time and
part-time unions should negotiate
independently as the NLRB certified
them separately.
All involved noted there is no clear
format for how such unions at a private university must operate as
NDNUs is relatively distinct in the
national context.

Historic context
At the core of the issue is a lengthy
history of federal and state regulations over what types of employees
and universities are allowed to form
unions.
Certain public institutions such as
the California State University system have long had both tenured and
non-tenured faculty under a joint
union. However, the University of
California system typically only has
part-time or non-tenured faculty
unionized.
In contrast, varying federal laws
regulate
private
institutions.
Although the University of San
Francisco, a private Jesuit school,
does have a union for full-time faculty, it was created prior to the landmark 1980 Yeshiva case. Its still
questionable whether NDNU will
become the first to form a truly joint
union of full- and part-time faculty at
a Catholic private school.
Recently, the SEIU helped six other
Bay Area private universities unionize part-time faculty, but not tenured
professors, according to Rivera and
Tolley.
Tolley noted part-time faculty
organized a union in April and was
pleased how quickly the process
unfolded for full-time professors.
Mindful of the schools budgetary
limitations, she stressed the union
would be a benefit to students who
would be assured a high-quality education. Instead of relying on tuition to
solely fund any potential increases to
salaries, she suggested the administration better manage its existing
budget. She cited statistics wherein a
lower and lower percentage of
NDNUs expenses have gone toward
instruction and it is now well below
the national average.
How can you offer [students] high
quality education when you are paying the lowest salaries in the Bay
Area? Tolley said. I hope [the
administration] sees this as an
opportunity to really switch things
around and change priorities.

Elite Iraqi forces


push into Fallujah,
expect fierce battle
By Qassim Abdul-Zahra
and Sinan Salaheddin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAMP TARIQ, Iraq Elite Iraqi special


forces began their push Monday into
Fallujah, expecting to encounter the stiffest
resistance yet in the campaign to free territory from the Islamic State group.
The city 40 miles west of Baghdad has
been under militant control longer than any
other part of Iraq, and IS fighters have had
more than two years to dig in. Networks of
tunnels like those found in other IS-held territory have already been discovered in its
northeastern outskirts.
The Iraqi troops, also known as the counterterrorism forces, are leading the assault
on Fallujah, slowly moving up from the
southern edge in a column of armored
Humvees.
Their advance is expected to be slow
because tens of thousands of civilians
remain trapped in Fallujah and hidden
bombs are believed to have been left
throughout the city, according to special
forces commanders at the scene. They
expect fierce resistance from the jihadis,
who have nowhere to run.
This is the decisive battle for us and for

Daesh, said Gen. Saad Harbiya head of


Fallujah operations for the Iraqi army, using
an Arabic acronym for the Islamic State
group.
The offensive, supported by airstrikes
from the U.S.-led coalition, was launched a
week ago. In that time, other wings of Iraqs
security forces have cleared the citys edges.
Shiite militia forces under the government
umbrella of the Popular Mobilization
Forces and the federal police lead operations that have taken back 80 percent of the
territory around Fallujah, according to Iraqi
Maj. Dhia Thamir.
The predominantly Sunni city in Anbar
province is one of the last major IS strongholds in Iraq. The extremist group still controls territory in the north and west, as well
as the second-largest city of Mosul.
Harbiya said Fallujah is like the Kaaba
for the Islamic State group, referring to the
most sacred Muslim site in the world in
Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
The 500-700 IS fighters holed up in
Fallujah are expected to be some of the
groups best-trained, a special forces commander at the scene said. The commander
spoke on condition of anonymity because
he was not authorized to brief reporters.
The counterterrorism forces started push-

ing into Fallujah from its southern edge at
dawn, said Brig. Haider al-Obeidi. He
described the fighting as fierce, with IS
deploying snipers and releasing a volley of
mortar rounds on the Iraqi forces.
Humanitarian groups say that as the violence intensifies, their concerns for civilians trapped inside Fallujah mount.
With every moment that passes, their
need for safe exits becomes more critical,
said Nasr Muflahi, the country director for
the Norwegian Refugee Council, an international humanitarian group active in Anbar
province.
In past operations, Iraqs Shiite militia

forces have been accused of committing


abuses against civilians in majority Sunni
towns and cities. Sunni lawmakers already
have accused the security forces of using
indiscriminate force that has endangered the
more than 50,000 civilians estimated to be
still inside Fallujah.
Shiite militia commanders have routinely
rejected the accusations.
The troops have been recommended to
respect families and treat them gently, said
Hadi al-Amiri, the Shiite militia commander who also heads the Badr Organization
political party, while overseeing operations outside Fallujah.
