Despite supporting a multi-bil-lion dollar economy, millions of residents and invaluable naturalresources in need of protection,the San Francisco Bay hist orically

This spending discrepancy —which includes Puget Sound, theGreat Lakes and the Chesapeake

Bay receiving b etween five and 60times more federal support thanthe Bay — is promptingCalifornia’s congressional repre-sentatives to seek change.

Last week, U.S. Rep. JackieSpeier, D-San Mateo, and U.S.senators Dianne Feinstein and

Barbara Boxer proposed the SanFrancisco Bay Restoration Act.The bill would direct the U.S.Environmental Protection Agencyto award up to $10 million in

One of thebags also contained 68.5 grams of puremeth, according to the criminal complaint.

Lopez allegedly overlooked the packagesas they were smuggled through a securitycheckpoint at San Francisco InternationalAirport in exchange for money. Sunuxallegedly coordinated the operation, accord-ing to th e U.S. Attorney.

Ramirez has also been arrested andarraigned.

All three defendants have been chargedwith conspiracy to distribute meth, whichcarries a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years to life in prison and fines up to $10million.

LOS ANGELES — After a nearly eight-year journey, a NASA spacecraft on Fridayflawlessly slipped into orbit around Ceresin the first visit to a dwarf planet.

The robotic Dawn craft will circle thedwarf planet for more than a year, explo ring

its s urface and unraveling its my steries.“It went exactly the way we expected.

Dawn gently, elegantly slid into Ceres’gravitatio nal embrace,” said Marc Rayman,chief engineer for the $473 million missi onmanaged by NASA’s Jet PropulsionLaboratory in Pasadena.

Ceres is the second and final stop forDawn, which launched in 2007 on a voyageto the main asteroid belt, a zone betweenMars and Jupiter that’s littered with rockyleftovers from the formation of the sun andplanets some 4 1/2 billion years ago.

Dawn will spend 16 months photograph-ing the icy surface. It previously spent ayear at Vesta exploring the asteroid andsending back stunning close-ups of itslumpy surface before cruising onto Ceres,the largest object in the asteroid belt.

The 3-billion mile trip was made possibleby Dawn’s ion propulsion engines, whichprovide gentle yet constant acceleration andare more efficient than conventionalthrusters.

As Dawn approached Ceres, it beamedback the best pictures ever taken of thedwarf planet. Some puzzling imagesrevealed a pair of shiny patches inside acrater — signs of possible ice or salt.

Scientists hope to get a better glimpse of the spots when the spacecraft spirals closerto th e surface. It’ll also s tudy whether previ-ously spo tted plumes of water vapor contin -ue to vent.

“There are a lot of secrets that will berevealed,” said mission scientist LucyMcFadden at NASA’s Goddard Space FlightCenter in Maryland.

The spacecraft glided into place at 4:39a.m. Friday and flight controllers receivedconfirmation about an hour later. Themaneuver occurred without a tense moment,

unlike oth er captures that require braking toslow down.“The real drama is exploring this alien,

exotic world,” Rayman s aid.Dawn is currently in Ceres’ shadows and

won’t take new pictures until it emerges inApril, he said.

Discovered in 1801, Ceres measures 600miles across — as wide as Texas — and hasa rocky core. It’s named after the Romangoddess of agriculture and harvest. It wasinit ially call ed a planet before it was demot-ed to an asteroid and later classified as adwarf planet. Like planets, dwarf planets arespherical in shape, but they share the samecelestial neighborhood with other similar-sized bodies.

With its massive solar wings spread out,Dawn is about the size of a tractor-trailer,

measuring 65 feet from tip to tip. It carriesan infrared spectrometer and a gamma rayand neutron detector to study the surface of Ceres from orbit.

The spacecraft was about 38,000 milesfrom Ceres when it began orbiting. In thecoming months, it will spiral down to with-in 235 miles of Ceres’ surface where it willremain long after the mission is over.

U.S. Sen. Menendez: I havebehaved appropriately in office

NEWARK, N.J. — U.S. Sen. BobMenendez, under federal invest igation for hi s

relationship with aFlorida doctor and politi-cal donor, defiantly saidFriday he h as always beenhonest in office even as a

person familiar with thematter said he’s expectedto face criminal chargessoon.

“Let me be very clear, Ihave always conducted

myself appropriately and in accordance withthe law,” Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat,said at a press conference in his home state.“Every action that I and my office have takenfor the last 23 years that I have been privi-leged to be in the United States Congress hasbeen based on pursuing t he best p olicies forthe peop le of New Jersey and this ent ire coun-try.”

The person who discussed the expected fil-ing of charges against Menendez in the com-ing weeks did so on the condition of anonymity because the investigation is

pending.

NTSB has plenty of questionsto answer in NYC runway slide

NEW YORK — As the NationalTransportation Safety Board begins its inves-tigation into a Delta jetliner that slid off arunway while landing during a snowstorm atLaGuardia Airport, there is no shortage of questions to pursue:

How big a factor was the snow? Was therunway too slippery? Could it have been amechanical problem? Did the pilot come intoo fast?

Thursday’s accident of Flight 1086 fromAtlanta caused only minor injuries to six pas-sengers, but it was a scary case of what couldhave been at an airport notorious for its rela-

tively short runways and proximity to water.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Racial discrimina-tion from poli ce in Ferguson, Mis souri, was

“oppressi ve and abusive,” President BarackObama said Friday as he called for criminal

justi ce reform as part of the modern st rugglefor civil rights.

“It turns out they weren’t just making itup. This was happening,” Obama said dur-ing a town hall at South Carolina’s BenedictCollege, the day before he prepared to com-memorate a half-century since the historiccivil rights marches in Selma, Alabama.

In his most expansive comments yetabout the Justice Department’s report onbias against blacks in Ferguson, Obamasaid it was striking that investigators mere-ly had to look at email sent b y poli ce offi-cials to find evidence. He said the City of Ferguson now must make a decision abouthow to move forward.

“Are they going to enter into s ome sort of

agreement with the Justice Department tofix what is clearly a broken and raciallybiased sys tem?” Obama said.

A Justice Department inv estigati on foundpatterns of racial profiling, bigotry andprofit-driven law enforcement and courtpractices within the Ferguson Police

Department. Ferguson city leaders are tomeet with Justice Department officials inabout two weeks to put forth an improve-ment plan.

WASHINGTON — Unemployment in theU.S. has dropped to a seven-year low of 5.5percent — the level no rmally considered themark of a healthy j ob market. Yet that n um-ber isn’t as encouraging as it might sound.

The jobless rate fell in February from 5.7percent mainly because many people gaveup looki ng for work and were no lon ger offi-cially counted among the unemployed, thegovernment reported Friday. What’s more,

wage gains remained sluggish last month.Those trends suggest that the job market,

while improving rapidly, isn’t quite ashealthy as it looks.

That complicates the Federal Reserve’stask of figuring out when the economy hasstrengthened enough to withstand higherinterest rates. The Fed is considering a rateincrease as early as J une.

Employers are certainly hiring freely:They added a solid 295,000 jobs lastmonth, the 12th straight monthly gain

above 200,000, the government said. It’sthe longest such stretch since 1994-95.

With employers hiring and the economygrowing steadily, th e U.S. is easily outshin-ing most other major nations. For example,the unemployment rate in the 19 countriesthat share the euro is 11.2 percent, or twicethe U.S. rate.

The robust U.S. job gains appear to haveconvinced many investors that the Fed willsoon raise the short-term interest rate itcontrols.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT• U.S. Reps . Anna G.

E shoo , D - P a l o A l t o , an dMike Thompson, D-Napa,reintroduced the Fair Access toHealth Care Act, legislation toexpand the eligibility for premi-um tax credits for people living

in high-cost areas who purchase health insurancethrough the federal and state exchanges set up by theAffordable Care Act.

The ACA allows tho se making between 13 8 and 400percent of the federal pov erty level t o qualify for pre-mium tax credits to help them purchase health insur-ance through the ACA’s exchanges. At this level, anindividual making up to $45,960 and a family of fourmaking up to $94, 200 qualify for premium tax credits,according to Eshoo’s office.

The Fair Access to Health Care Act would allow thepremium tax credits offered through the ACA to beincreased proportionally based on an area’s cost of livin g. Under the bil l, th e federal poverty level thresh-old will increase proportionally based on an area’scost of living above the national average cost of liv-ing, according t o Eshoo’s office.

In the San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, California Metropolitan Statistical Area, afamily of four earning up to $12 5,7 57 and individualsearning up to $61,356 could qualify for premium taxcredits to p urchase health i nsurance thro ugh the ACA’s

grants toward restoration efforts.In responding to decades of ill prac-

tices when infill and pollution werecommon as populations grew aroundthe San Francisco Bay, environmental-ists say it’s vital local restorationefforts receive more support.

“We have so many plans and studiesin pl ace showing b oth t he value and thecost of wetland restoration, pollutionreduction [and] endangered species pro-tection,” said David Lewis, executivedirector of Save the Bay. “And restoredwetlands provide a lot of benefits forendangered species, but also for shore-line protection and flood control.”

Lewis said he’s hopeful that restora-tion will begin to receive more support,as there are strong state representativesin Con gress, including 12 Bay Area del-egates.

In 2008, Congress established theSan Francisco Bay Water QualityImprovement fund allotting $5 milli onin annual federal funds. Since then, theEPA has awarded nearly $36 million in

competitive grants for more than 50projects, according to the EPA PacificSouthwest Region.

Yet in the last six years, grantrequests have more than tripled whilethe annual amount of federal fundinghas remained the same, according to theEPA Pacific Southwest Region.

Despite the federal government own-ing a large portion of Baylands, itsfunding pales in comparison to whatthe EPA awards to other significantwater bodies. In 2013 alone, PugetSound in Washington state received$25 million, the Chesapeake Bay off Virgin ia and Maryland was awarded $70million and the Great Lakes received$300 million in support, according toSpeier’s office.

Political rationaleSo why the discrepancy when econo-

mists rank the San Francisco Bay Areaas 19th in the world when compared tonational economies?

There are clear political and geo-graphical rationales for the increasedfunding the Chesapeake Bay receives.The Chesapeake Bay and its watershedare supported by five states andWashington, D.C. — meaning it hasthe sway of more cong ressional repre-sentatives. Unlike the San FranciscoBay, where federal conservation effortsare relatively young, the ChesapeakeBay Program has fueled restorationefforts since 1983, according to theEPA.

The Great Lakes, which is the largestsurface freshwater system on Earth andhome to more than 30 million people,are shared by eight states and Canada.Assistance comes from formerPresident George W. Bush’s 2004 exec-utive order to create the Great LakesInteragency Task Force, joi nt U.S. andCanadian efforts as well as the GreatLakes Legacy Act that all ots funding forcleanup programs, according to theEPA.

Perhaps a more accurate comparisonfor the discrepancy in funding would beto juxtapose the San Francisco Baywith Puget Sound, which similarly issupported by one state alone butreceives five times the amount of fund-ing from the EPA.

Speier argues political clout likelyled to Puget Sound receiving theenhanced support, particularly as for-mer U.S. Rep. Norm Dicks, D-Washington, who served in Congressfor nearly 36 years, was a top-rankingmember of the influentialAppropriations Committee.

Yet as the Bay Area has advanced eco-nomically and its population contin uesto grow, state representatives are fueledto advocate for more assistance.

“By authorizing the necessaryresources, this bill will help restoretidal wetlands and improve the qualityof the Bay Area’s water,” Feinstein saidin a press release. “The San FranciscoBay is so important to our state’s econ-omy and ecology that restoration

deserves renewed attention.”

Economic valueBolstering the argument over the

Bay’s economic value, the Bay Area

Council, a regional business coalition,is po ised to release a study in the com-ing weeks in which it modeled the eco-nomic impact an extreme weather eventwould have on the region, said AdrianCover, policy manager with the BayArea Council .

Unable to release specific details,Cover said the effect of an extremestorm could lead to billion s of dollar inlosses.

With housing, corporate offices andkey infrastructure such as the San

Francisco International Airport andwastewater treatment systems liningthe Bay, Judy Kelly, director of the SanFrancisco Estuary Partnership, saidrestoring wetlands and salt ponds arevital for climate change adaptation.

Should the Bay Restoration Act beenacted, Kelly said the South Bay SaltPond Restoration Project — th e largesttidal wetland restoration project on theWest Coast — would be a strong com-petitor for funding.

The federal government owns a sig-nificant portion of the salt ponds, aswell as tidal marshes and open spacealong the Bay, and should thereforework to back up its property with finan-cial resources, Lewis said.

More than 70 government agencies,

resource conservation districts, landtrusts, watershed groups and nonprofitswork with EPA grant recipients on SanFrancisco Bay restoration efforts. The$5 million annual federal investmenthas enabled these groups to leverage anadditional $145 million from variouspartner agencies and organizationssince 2008, according to the EPA.

With hundreds of vital projects await-ing financial assistance — includingefforts ranging from habitat restorationto improving water quality by introduc-ing more fresh water into the Bay —Kelly and Lewis said they’re hop eful thearea’s congressional representativeswill come through.

“We’re just really grateful for th e lead-ership shown by Congresswoman

Speier and senators Feinstein andBoxer,” Kelly said.

FOIA rules to guide

the review of Clintonemails for publicationBy Bradley KlapperTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration said Fridayit will apply the legal provisions of the Freedom of Information Act to determine what parts of Hillary RodhamClinton’s official emails when she was secretary of statewill be released publicly from h er private account. The lawcontains nine exemptions to censor or withhold parts of records.

The decision means that any finding by State Departmentreviewers that her private emails included classified or oth-erwise sensitive data would be indicated, even if the infor-

mation is marked out. Under that law, reviewers need tospecify which of t he nine exceptions they’re citing to cen-sor a passage.

Clinto n’s extensi ve use of her own email account and pri-vate server has raised questio ns i n the b uildup to her expect-ed presidential campaign about whether she adhered to theletter or spirit of accountabilit y rules. Cli nton has asked forthe full ledger of her work-related correspondence to bemade public, a process t he State Department said could takemonths. The emails comprise 55,00 0 pages.

On Friday, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said the agency was focused solely on facilitating theemails’ public release, not on any examination o f possibl ewrongdoing by Clinto n.

She said no law prohib ited the former first l ady from usingher own email account while in government, even exclu-sively for official business . She suggested a 2011 cable sentfrom Clinton’s office offered only a general recommenda-tion to staff about not using private accounts.

The cable read: “Avoid conducting official Departmentbusiness from your personal e-mail accounts.”Harf said, “This cable, in general, is talking about guid-

ance on best practices, coll oquial guidance for people whenit came to personal email.”

JERUSALEM — A Palestinianrammed his car into a group of Israeli

pedestrians near a border police sta-tion in east Jerusalem on Friday, injur-ing four officers and a bystander,police said.

He then lunged at security guardswith a knife before being shot andwounded. Police spokeswoman LubaSamri described the incident as a “ter-ror attack.”

Police identified the attacker asMohammed Salaymeh, a 22-year-oldPalestinian from east Jerusalem. Awoman that Israeli Chan nel 2 TV iden-tified as Salaymeh’s mother justifiedthe attack, sayin g it was “natural” thata young person would carry out suchan attack because of tensions inJerusalem.

The attack took place at the same

intersection where a Palestinian manrammed his car into a crowded trainplatform in November and thenattacked people with an iron bar,killing one person and injuring 13.

Police say it is difficult to preventsuch attacks, which appear to be car-ried out by “lone wolf” assailants notlinked to militant groups.

“The swift and determined responsestopped the attack as it was beginningand prevented more innocents frombeing injured,” said Moshe Edri, a

regional police commander.

Israel’s paramilitary border policepatrols the area between predominant-ly Jewish west Jerusalem and the pre-dominantly Arab east J erusalem.

Police immediately cordoned off thearea of the attack, and ultra-OrthodoxJewish onlookers gathered at thescene. The front of the car wassmashed and the windshield wascracked. Israeli television showedfootage of the wounded attacker lyingon the ground before being taken tohospital.

The attack came as Israelis celebrat-

ed the carnival-like Jewish holiday of Purim. Police stepped up securitythroughout the city, and Jerusalemmayor Nir Barkat said celebrationswould carry on as usual.

Friday’s attack mirrored a spate of similar assaults on Israelis inv olvingcars late last year, in the same part of Jerusalem. The attacks were linked totensions over the city’s most sensi-tive ho ly s ite, revered by Muslims asthe Noble Sanctuary and by Jews asthe Temple Mount.

NEW DELH — Several thousand

people stormed a prison in n ortheast-ern India, where they dragged away aman accused of rape and then lynchedhim, police s aid Friday.

The mob overpowered security atDimapur Central Prison in Nagalandon Thursday and seized the rape sus-pect, whom they also accused of being an illegal migrant from

Bangladesh. They pelted him withstones and beat him to death, saidpolice Constable Sunep Aier.

Poli ce said a curfew was imp osed inthe city after the killing and no otherincidents of vi olence had been report-ed.

The man had been arrested on suspi-cion of raping a local woman on Feb.24.

In recent years, India has seen anoutpouring of anger against sexual

violence that is pervasive across thecountry. But Thursday’s killing wasalso likely linked to tensions in

Nagaland over an influx of migrantsfrom Bangladesh. Dimapur, thelargest city in Nagaland, is 1,660kilometers (1,00 0 miles) east of NewDelhi.

Several local groups accuse themigrants of taking away their landand jobs and have been protesting inrecent weeks.

City Council raising concernsabout Boston’s Olympics bidBy Philip MarceloTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON — Boston’s City Council raised concerns Fridayabout the city ’s bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics.

During t he first o f what is expected to be a s eries of hear-ings on the bid, council members said they will be lookingto see what impact the plan would have on the city’s neigh-borhoods.

A number voiced concerns about the games running overbudget, forcing city taxpayers to foot the bil l, while somecalled out organi zers for lack of transparency as they devel-oped their proposal, largely out of the public eye.

Others wondered whether an Olympics push would divertprecious energy and resources from more important work,like improving schools.

“Boston doesn’t need to host the Olympics to be a world-class city, ” Councilor Michelle Wu said bluntly.

Councilor Josh Zakim was among those who picked onspecific proposals in the bid, saying his Beacon Hill con-stituents are not interested in seeing beach volleyballplayed on the city’s beloved Common, as organizers haveproposed.

At least one player’s dream,anyway.

“I always dreamed my junioryear being my best year of highschool basketball,” said juniorguard Emily Nepomuceno. “Ithought we’d go 12-0 (in leagueplay). We had big things plannedthis year.”

Senior forward Kara Ronberg ismore stunned than anything. Afour-year player, Ronberg never

“I can’t even fathom beinghere,” Ronberg sai d.

The annual non-league baseball gamebetween Serra and Burlingame, played under

“It’s th eir [the pl ayers’ version o f] ‘FridayNight Lights,’” said Serra manager CraigGianinno.

Added Burlingame manager Shawn Scott:“If you tell yourself it’s just another game,you’re lying. ”

There have been a number of excitinggames over the years, Friday night howev-er, wasn’t o ne of th em. The Padres got out of the gate quick, scoring four runs in the topof the first inning and adding on throughoutas they handed Burlingame its first loss of the season, 10-1.

“I was proud we had some quality at-bats,”Gianinno said. “One of the game plansgoing i n was to be aggressive.”

Serra (2-1 overall) was certainly aggres-sive. The Padres pounded out those 10 runson 13 hits.

Burlingame (4-1), however, certainly did-n’t help its cause.

Hillsdale guard Emily Nopumuceno said she dreamed her bestyear of high school basketball would be this, her junior, year.

By Terry BernalDAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The last ti me Markisha Coleman walked off the floor of a high school game at Santa ClaraUniversity, it was as a Central Coast Sectionchampion.

That was in 2003, when Coleman was a highschool senior and her Eastside Prep girls’ bas-ketball team defeated Redwood Christian 47-40 to win the CCS Division V title.

Sure, she played a handful of nonconferencegames as a Stanford point guard at LeaveyCenter, but none had been as meaningful asthat fateful CCS championship eve of March7, 2003 — until now.

When Coleman’s No. 2-seed Lady Bearsdefeated No. 3 Piedmont Hills in Wednesday’sCCS Division I semifinals, they earned theright to take the floor at Leavey CenterSaturday night for a shot at M-A’s first CCStitle since 1993.

“It’s exciting,” Coleman said. “At thebeginning of the year we set goals as a team.To get to the championship, it’s showingthem if you work hard you can achieve whatyou work for.”

Hard work is the cornerstone of Coleman’srhetoric, and her team has backed up its sec-ond-year head coach’s talk with its stalwartplay this season. Along with the Bears’Peninsula Athletic League South Divisioncrown, they have posted an amazing 24-5record thus far in 2014-15.

The Serra basketball team, right, celebrates the school’s first CCS title since 2006, only after Jake Killingsworth, left, made three free throwswith six-tenths of a second to play, turning a 38-37 deficit into a 40-38 win over St. Francis in the Open Division title game Friday night.

By Terry BernalDAILY JOURNAL STAFF

SANTA CLARA — When JakeKillingsworth stepped to th e line, his Serrateammates k new it was game ov er.

With t he No. 2-seed Padres trailing 38-37and less than one second remaining in thegame, Killingsworth cast the 2014-15 Serrabasketball team into immortality by hit-ting three free throws for a 40-38 win overtop-seed St. Francis in the Central CoastSection Open Division championship gameat Santa Clara University Friday night.

“He’s one of th e best sho oters I’ve knownin my li fe,” Serra center Trevor Brown said.“He’s a great shooter … I was so confidenthe was going to make it. I wasn’t worried atall.”

After Serra (23-5 overall) commanded the

lead for the first 15 minutes of the secondhalf, the championship destiny looked to

be on a direct course. But matchups b etweenWest Cath olic Athlet ic League teams n everresolve easily, especially between archri-vals.

And the sho otin g had run particularly coldfor both teams in the second half. St.Francis shot 2-of-12 from the field in thethird quarter, while neither Killingsworthnor Serra’s star senior Jimmy Wohrer con-verted a field goal in t he second half.

“I’m not really sure (what happened),”Killingsworth said. “Both teams are justgreat shoo ting. They can absolutely ligh t itup when on. I guess we just went cold. Idon’t know if our legs were gone from thefirst half or what. I’m not sure.”

The first half was an exciting o ne that sawthe lead change hands seven times in the

second quarter alone. When Wohrer hi t a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give Serra a 21-19

lead going into halftime, he was leading allscorers in the game with nine points. Hefinished the game with a team-high 12 withall three of his second half poin ts scored viafree throws.

The Padres went o n to outscore St. Francis11-5 in the third quarter behind the fieryplay of their bench. Serra junior JeremiahTesta brought both intensity and executionto the floor. He hit a key layup with 1:15remainin g i n t he quarter when Brown foundhim all alo ne under the basket with a bo uncepass, gi ving Serra its big gest lead at 30-22.

Pappapietro to reach. James Outman fol-lowed and hit what appeared to b e a routinefly ball to left that was misplayed as well.

“Two batters in, he should have had twoouts,” Scott said.

Instead, the Padres were in business.Angelo Bortolin, one of the best p layers in

the Central Coast Section, followed with anopposite-field double to left, driving inboth runners for a 2 -0 Serra lead.

After a groundout for the first out of theinning, designated hitter Scott Ota came tothe plate and drilled an RBI single up themiddle. Tyler Villaroman followed with asingle and Calvin Riley walked to load thebases for Kyle Sanchez. On a 1-1 pitch,Sanchez hit a sacrifice fly to center to plateOta with the fourth run of the inning.

After that uprising, Riley took over onthe mound for the Padres. The senior rig hty,who also plays shortstop, was on top of hisgame from the start. He retired the first nin ebatters he faced before givin g up a single toGriffin Intrieri leading off the fourth in nin g.He started runni ng o ut of gas in t he fifth andwas replaced by Nicholas Von Tobel in the

bottom of the sixth.By the time Riley left, however, he had

pitched five innings of one-hit ball. Hestruck out five and walked one while throw-ing just 67 pitches.

Riley was just as formidable at the plate,going 2 for 3 with a two-run triple, a two-run si ngl e and a walk.

“Tonight he was clearly outstanding. Hewas attacking. … It was an efficient (pitch-ing) p erformance,” Gianinno said. “He alsohad a good night with the bat.”

Brownlow wasn’t as fortunate. Those twofirst-inning mistakes forced him to throw30 pitches in the inning. He settled downand was a bit better the rest of start, goingfive innings, allowing seven runs — onlythree of which were earned — while throw-ing just over 100 pitches.

“My pitchers battled (Friday night),”Scott said.

Brownlow got some defensiv e help to g etout of the second innin g unscathed, when heinduced an inning-ending double play, butthe Padres t ouched him for t wo more runs i nthe top of the third.

With one out, Villaroman beat out a buntto put runners on first and second. Rileycame up and hammered a 1-1 pitch into theleft-field corner. Scott and Villaroman easi-ly scored and Riley beat the throw to thirdfor the triple.

In the fourth, Outman drove in

Pappapietro, who had walked and stole s ec-ond. The Padres rounded out t heir scorin g i nthe top of the six with three more runs.Villaroman drove in the first run of theinning on an infield hit and Riley followedwith a two-run sin gle.

Burlingame scratched out its lone run inthe bot tom of the sixt h against Von Tobelto avoid the shutout. Andrew Kennedypicked up the Panthers’ second hit of thegame, a double to right that got byVillaroman, who was trying t o make a slid-ing catch. After a walk to Ryan Kammuller,Jonathan Engleman extended his hittingstreak to 13 g ames, dating b ack to last sea-son, with an RBI single to right.

The Panthers picked up one more hit inthe sev enth again st Serra’s Chris Apecechea

– an in field hi t from Rob ert Harrig an.Burlingame finished with one run on justfour hits.

In addition to Riley’s two hits,Villaroman finished with three hits, whileFelix Aberouette and Ota each h ad two hitsapiece.

In all, eight of the nine batters in theSerra lineup had a hit and the only playerwho didn’t — Chris Underwood — walkedtwice.

“The better team won tonight,” Scottsaid. “They’re better prepared, bettercoached.”


SERRA

NATHAN MOLLAT/DAILY JOURNAL

Serra’s Calvin Riley allowed just one hitthrough five innings of work, earning the win

in the Padres’ 10-1 victory over Burlingame.

for a close-range bucket. But Serra finish edthe third quarter with a remarkable thirdeffort when, after Peter Lemos missed a 3-poin t attempt and Testa couldn’t conv ert off an offensive board, forward Chris Favettiscored on a two-handed put-back off theglass to score at the buzzer, giving thePadres a 32-24 lead going into the finalquarter.

But, as if it was right o n cue with j ust overtwo minutes left in the game, the Lancersrallied back from a 37-30 deficit whenCurtis Witt caught fire. The junior s cored agame-high 13 points, more than half of which came in the final two minutes.

After a Darius Thomas free throw, Wittdrilled a 3-pointer to light up the St.Francis crowd and close Serra’s lead to 37-34. On the Lancers’ next possession, Wittwon a 1-on-1 matchup with Wohrer bydrilling a breathtaking turnaround jumperfrom 12 feet out to draw to withi n on e poin tat 37-36.

Serra had a chance to retake t he lead, b utKillingsworth had a big miss on a baselinedrive with 25 seconds left. St. Francisgrabbed the rebound and pushed the ball up

court and Killing sworth rushed back to fo ulWitt on a would-be gimmie lay up.

When Witt hit both free throws to give

St. Francis a 38-37 lead, the Serra contin-gent at Leavey Center got ominously quietuntil 15 1/2 seconds later. That is whenKillings worth gathered a 3-point attempt inthe corner onl y to be fouled by Lancers jun-ior Noah Stapes.

“We were originally coming off twoscreens,” Killingsworth said. “Then I was

just go ing to cras h backside and try to g et atip-in . … They defended it well. They sh ut itdown and the ball just came back to me. I

just caught it, went up an d got fouled. Therest is history.”

The history is this: Serra is now a six-time CCS champion. The Padres previouslywon titles in 1991, 2000 , ’04, ’05 and ’06.However, they have lost consecutively inthe finals in five previous seasons, includ-ing the past two years in the CCS OpenDivision title game.

This year’s championship marks Serra’first in the Open Division.

“To finall y get o ver the hump feels reallygood,” Serra head coach Chuck Rapp said.“I give the credit to the kids — big Jakestepping up and hitting the big free throws.It feels good.”

OAKLAND — The OaklandRaiders’ lease to play the 2015season at the Coliseum has beenapproved by the board that runsthe site.

The Joint Powers Authority onFriday approved the extension

that h ad previously been agreed toby both sides. The Oakland CityCouncil and Alameda County

Board of Supervisors still mustvote on th e lease.

The Raiders will pay $400,000in December and an additionalamount for their training facility.

Despite the agreement, theteam’s future beyond 2015remains in doubt. The Raiders areworking with the Chargers todevelop a stadium near LosAngeles if the t wo teams can’t get

new stadiums in their current l oca-tions. The JPA says the sidesremain in active discussions for anew stadium.

Sports brief

By Michael WagamanTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND — For the first timein a while, Steve Kerr smiled as hediscussed his team’s defense.

It’s the offense that had GoldenState’s first-year coach fidgetingon the sidelines and searching foranswers in the locker room. Notthat it slowed the West-leadingWarriors much.

Stephen Curry had 22 poin ts andseven assists, Klay Thompson

scored 16 points and Golden Statebeat the Dallas Mavericks 104-89on Friday ni ght.

“I have no i dea what I was loo k-ing at tonight on the offensiveend,” Kerr said. “Way too manysilly passes, risky plays.Fortunately, we can play off ourdefense. That’s not going to beenough down the road. We have alot of work to do.”

The Warriors lead the NBA inscoring, assists and field goal per-centage, but were out of sync formuch of th e game against Dallas.

They got j ust enough from Curry— and a few others.

Curry wasn’t as dominant as hewas earlier this year when he

scored a season-high 51 pointsagainst the Mavericks, but GoldenState’s All-Star point guard wasstil l effective. He scored 16 po intsin the first half when the Warriors(48-12) began to pull away andfinished with five of his team’s 113-pointers.

But the Warriors committed 22turnovers leading to 14 poi nts forthe Mavericks, one of the reasonsKerr was unhappy after the win.

“Even the best offensive teamever is not in rhythm every game,”said Draymond Green, who had 18points and nine rebounds. “It’ssomething we’ll have to clean up.

We’ll be fin e.”Shaun Livingston added 10

points and 10 rebounds off thebench for Golden State.

The Warriors have won 48 gamesin back-to-back seasons for onlythe second time in franchise histo-ry.

Rajon Rondo had 14 po ints andsix assist s for Dallas.

The Mavericks (40-24) didn’thave Rondo when Curry torched

the Mavs in February, though ithardly mattered. Rondo struggledkeeping up with th e quicker Curryand had trouble fighting throughGolden State’s multipl e screens.

“It’s a long season and there aregoing to be difficult periods,”Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said.“We have to keep our vibe posi-tive.”

Even when Dallas closed out tostifle Curry, he kept the Warriorsrolling by finding teammates cut-ting the lane or waiting to shootfrom the perimeter.

Golden State led by as much as27 in the fourth quarter, thencoasted to its NBA-leading 34thdouble-digit win.

Harrison Barnes scored 12points with six rebounds for theWarriors, whil e Marreese Speig htsadded 12 po ints .

Dallas, playing the second half of a back-to-back, couldn’t keepup. The Mavs did early, but ran o utof gas down the stretch.

They also lost their cool a fewtimes. Dirk Nowitzki and TysonChandler were hit with technicalfouls, both for arguing foul calls.

Curry scored Golden State’s firsteight points. He also went 4 of 7from beyond the arc in the firsthalf to help the Warriors to a 52-40 l ead at the break.
