UKRAINE AGREEMENT REACHED, BUT THE STREET RESISTS

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Redwood City gave Sims Metal
Management more than a dozen
new safety measures to implement
and extended the initial 60-day
evaluation period slated to end
Friday while the recycling opera-
tor considers the directive and out-
side agencies continue investigat-
ing a pair of res within weeks of
each other at the port location.
Meanwhile, state Sen. Jerry
Hill, D-San Mateo, introduced leg-
islation Friday requiring state reg-
ulation of shredded automobile
material that he
said could drift
off site and con-
taminate the
environment. In
its announce-
ment of the bill,
Hills office
s p e c i f i c a l l y
cites Sims for
ve of the six
res at metal recycling facilities
in the Bay Area since 2007 of
which three were at the Redwood
City location. The last two blazes
in November and December led
Redwood City to impose the safe-
ty measures in December which
city ofcials on Friday reiterated
along with the new list.
A Sims spokeswoman said the
company was confused by Hills
bill including mention of the res.
We dont understand how the
legislation relates to such res but
as previously reported we have
taken numerous steps to eliminate
the re risk referenced in the press
release, said Jill Rodby, the pub-
lic relations and government
affairs manager for Sims Northern
California region.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A San Bruno police ofcer was
justied in fatally shooting the
driver of a stolen car who refused
demands to raise his hands and
instead accelerated toward him in a
bid to escape arrest, according to

The office announced Friday it
will not file charges against

case of 25-year-old San Francisco
resident Ryan Salongas Oct. 22,
2013, death is closed.
Harper exercised his police pow-
ers in an appropriately decisive
manner against Salonga and
should be commended for stop-
ping his deadly force and life-
endangering conduct, District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe wrote in
a Feb. 5 letter to San Bruno Police
Chief Neil Telford.

Plans to build a new Burlingame
recreation center to replace the
out-of-date facility are moving
forward with continued community
input, while a 35,500-square-foot
building located at the same loca-
tion is the front-runner.
The city has said the current
building is not seismically sound.
It is looking at a variety of
options, including three possible
locations for a new building, all of
which would still be east of the
Rec center plans progressing
Most popular option is building at same location with underground parking

Right in the Peninsulas backyard, South
San Francisco artist Barbara Butler builds
childrens play structures and her latest
project will help all kids including those
with disabilities play on playgrounds.
Butler, who runs her treehouse and custom
play structures business out of a South San
Francisco ofce, began this career in the
late 80s after majoring in political science
in college, then pursing writing and paint-
ing. In addition to the residential work she
does, she also helps with public projects,
such as building an Americans with
Disabilities Act friendly playground in Palo
Alto thats inclusive to all children.
I did construction to pay the bills, she
said. I fell in love. It combines play,
sculpting, woods and the outdoors.
Originally from upstate New York, Butler
moved to San Francisco in 1983 and found-
ed Outer Space Designs, designing and
building unique decks and hot tubs. In 1987,
singer Bobby McFerrin and his wife request-
ed Butler make a play structure for their two
children. This is what really spurred Butlers
career. Since then, she worked with clients
like Robert Redford; Will Smith and Jada
Pinkett; and Walt Disney Productions.
Butlers Rough & Tumble Outpost play
structure was highlighted as the FAO
Schwartz Ultimate Gift in the 1999
Christmas catalog. AButler playhouse was
also used in the Bicentennial Man movie.
At rst people told me, you cant do
that, its not a real job, said Butler, who
lives in San Francisco.
She moved the ofce for Barbara Butler
Artist-Builder Inc. to the Peninsula 15 years
ago during the dot-com bubble. In her San
Francisco building, other tenants com-
plained about the noise from her studio.
I moved to South San Francisco and
found a great old warehouse, Butler said.
Butler does travel a lot. She ies in for
design meetings, but builds at the ware-
house. Then, the company will y in for
installations, which take about three to ve
days to complete. She specializes in wood
and custom builds.
Fifty percent to 60 percent of her work is
residential, while the other part is for public
use. Public use includes preschools, parks,
developments and affordable housing proj-
ects.
One such public project shes currently
working on is the Magical Bridge
Playground in Mitchell Park in Palo Alto in
conjunction with the city and Friends of the
Magical Bridge, a project of Friends of the
Palo Alto Parks. The project is for kids of all
abilities including children in wheel-
chairs and is ADAcompliant. The univer-
sal access playground includes ramping sys-
tems to enable wheelchairs to travel the
entire length of the play structure; smooth
rubber surfacing (instead of traditional bark
or sand) to be friendly to those with limited
mobility; playhouse structure and commu-
nity stage fully accessible to inspire imagi-
nations; a raised sand play table; and The
Quiet Corner to invite people to gather, rest
or play chess. Construction should start
this summer and nish by the end of August.
The public ones are really close to my
heart, Butler said. I get to hit kids of all
income brackets and am really shaping their
childhood experiences. Magical Bridge is
really dear to me. I want to make it super,
super fun for kids of all abilities. Its for
everyone to enjoy.

Alleged Valentines Day
bandit arrested in San Francisco
A man connected with two bank rob-
beries, one in Millbrae Jan. 10 and the sec-
ond in Burlingame Feb. 14, was arrested
Thursday afternoon near his residence in
San Francisco, according to the San Mateo
County Sheriffs Ofce.
At approximately 4 p.m., detectives from
the Burlingame Police Department, the
Sheriffs Ofce and the FBI located Reginald
Sydney Jones, 62, near his residence, exe-
cuted a search warrant at his residence and
found evidence related to both robberies,
according to the Sheriffs Ofce.
He was booked into San Mateo County
Jail for two counts of bank robbery with
bail set at $750,000, according to the
Sheriffs Ofce.
The suspect was dubbed the Valentines
Day bandit because of the latest crime in
Burlingame at the Bank of the West Feb. 14.
He allegedly robbed Chase Bank in Millbrae
Jan. 10 in which he displayed a handgun,
according to police.
County accepts 478
coastside acres from POST
The county accepted 478 acres of coast-
side land donated by the Peninsula Open
Space Trust to expand the 40-acre Quarry
Park.
The land, commonly known as Wicklow,
is located about four miles north of Half
Moon Bay east of Highway 1 in El
Granada.
This is great news for anyone who
enjoys the outdoors, Supervisor Don
Horsley, whose district includes the coast-
side, said in a prepared statement.
POST initially preserved the Wicklow
property in 2002 after receiving a 462-acre
donation from Bay Area builder Mike
ONeill and his family. It is named after the
county where he grew up in Ireland.
The scenic land was previously used for
cattle grazing and up to four luxury estate
homes could have been built there had the
owners opted for development over dona-
tion.
The existing facilities like parking and
restrooms at neighboring Quarry Park make
for a natural gateway to the Wicklow addi-
tion, said Parks Director Marlene Finley.
The transaction is expected to be com-
plete within the next four months if not
sooner.

State Sen. Jerry
Hi l l , D- San
Mat eo, introduced
legislation that
would require credit
card issuers and
retailers in California to adopt microchip-
based credit card technology by Oct. 1

the world that relies almost exclusively on
magnetic strip identication technology
for credit cards, according to Hills ofce.
Under Hills Senat e Bi l l 1351, begin-
ning on Oct. 1, 2015, cards issued or
renewed by banks or credit card companies
would have to utilize chip technology
while retailers would be required to have
scanners capable of reading the new cards.

spur innovation.
Under the Community Investment and
Innovation Program, local and regional
governments will have the opportunity to
apply for grant funding made available
through the states cap and trade auction
revenue. Eligible grant applicants must
implement projects that reduce greenhouse
gases, whether it is diverting solid waste

Aformer San Mateo school administrator,
father and 42-year resident of San Mateo,
Mark Avelar recently accepted the highest
honor by the San Mateo County/Silicon
Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau for
his hospitality work.
Avelar, 67, was presented with the Margi
Grant Heart of Hospitality Award, given each
year to a person who selessly devotes his
time to helping the hospitality industry.
I was very surprised, he said. Anne
LeClair (president and CEO of the bureau) is
sneaky. She fooled me. I thought I was going
there to hear the guest speaker talk about the
Super Bowl she knows Im a huge 49ers
fan. Then, she invited some of my friends
there.
Avelars volunteer efforts to bring multiple
golng events to the area have generated
thousands of room nights for San Mateo
County hotels and a great deal of business for
area restaurants and rental
car companies, it was
noted at the awards cere-
mony.
It was wonderful to see
these honorees recog-
nized, LeClair said in an
ofcial statement. They
are the people who make
our industry successful,
day in, day out.
Avelar used to teach
history and physical education at El Camino
High School and ultimately ended up retiring
in 2006 after serving as deputy superintend-
ent in the San Mateo Union High School
District. His last 15 years of work were for
that district. These days, he travels and vol-
unteers most of the time.
I did some consulting work and mentoring
of new principals, he said. I did that for
three years, then decided to become fully
retired about four to ve years ago.
He denitely hasnt been inactive since his
retirement. He is active in the San Mateo
Rotary Club, is on a senior housing board,
helps with fundraising campaigns and is
active in golf tournaments. He also plays a
lot of golf and is a member of The Olympic
Club in San Francisco.
Ive thoroughly enjoyed my years in the
Rotary and feel connected to the community,
Avelar said. Ive gotten to know great peo-
ple in San Mateo in businesses and local gov-
ernment.
He also travels with his wife of 45 years.
His 31-year-old daughter is a physical thera-
pist in the Bay Area. Just this year, hell be in
Mexico, Palm Springs and Wisconsin for
work he does as a golf course rater for
Golfweek Magazine. He will also go to
Arizona with some golf buddies and Lake
Tahoe in July for his annual family vacation.
Working on the Rotary
scholarship committee is also
an enjoyable task for Avelar.
Its very rewarding
work, he said. I get to
meet some great kids.
The Margi Grant Heart of Hospitality Award
is named after a dedicated bureau employee
who retired in 2008, after working at the
bureau for more than 25 years.
Also honored at the bureaus annual meet-
ing were four Peninsula Recognition for
Passionate Service award winners. The
Innovation in Hospitality Award recipient
was Danny Tam. Anthony Silveira was given
an award for Outstanding Community
Service. Yanna Karbushev was the recipient
of the Behind the Scenes Service Award. The
Unsung Hero Service Award was awarded to
Victoria Wong. Honorable mentions were
given to: Gabriela Melgoza, Matthew Poole,
Maria Zavala, Harry Hayes, Joyce Luo, Yoyo
Chen, Horacio Prieto, Teri Ching, Paul
Schenkman and Julie Schenkman.

After more than four years with
Half Moon Bay, City Manager
Laura Snideman announced her
departure citing family considera-
tions when taking an executive
position with Napa County her
childhood home.
Her last day will be March 19
and Mayor John Muller said the
city will seek an interim city man-
ager before seeking a permanent
replacement.
Were going to miss Laura
theres no doubt about it, Muller
said in a press release. She was
the right leader at the right time
for Half Moon Bay. Her extensive
knowledge of municipal manage-
ment and commitment to restoring
the scal health of the city were
fundamental in getting us back on
track. Luckily, Laura leaves behind
an incredible foundation and orga-
nizational structure thats built for
long-term success. The fact that
she is making a
personal sacri-
ce for her fam-
ily at this time
says even more
about her char-
acter than just
her many

administrative ofcer before being
named city manager in 2010. She
has a long history in local govern-
ment having worked for the cities
of Redwood City, San Carlos and
San Mateo before making the
move to Half Moon Bay.
My time in Half Moon Bay has
been deeply rewarding both
professionally and personally,
Snideman said in a press release.
In addition to many great friend-
ships that Ill take with me, I am
very proud of what we accom-
plished over the past four years.
Working together, we found inno-
vative solutions and took decisive
actions to get the city of Half
Moon Bay back on solid nancial
ground. The progress weve made
is extraordinary and a model to
other cities that may face similar
challenges.
Snideman helped navigate the
city through a tumultuous time in
getting the citys budget back into
positive territory, helping the city
contract its police services with
the San Mateo County Sheriffs
Ofce and making plans for infra-
structure improvements.
Muller said the city is in a good
position now but she will be
missed and that her announcement
was a surprise.
It was unforeseen. I always
stress that in local government
that you should be prepared for the
unexpected and this was unexpect-
ed, he said. Shes such a wonder-
ful person.

STATE 7
By Don Thompson
SACRAMENTO The leader of the state
Senate said Friday that a fellow Democratic
lawmaker should resign or face suspension
after he was indicted on multiple federal cor-
ruption charges.
Senate President Pro Tem Darrell
Steinberg said he has the support of the
Senates Democratic caucus in calling for
Sen. Ron Calderon to resign or take a leave
of absence after he was indicted on bribery,
conspiracy and money laundering charges.
Calderon, D-Montebello, is charged with
using his ofce to extract bribes from a hos-
pital executive and undercover FBI agents
who pretended to be involved in the lm
industry. Federal prosecutors said the
amount was $100,000 in cash.
Given the seriousness of charges that
strike at the very heart of what it means to be
a public ofcial, Senator Calderons continued
service is a cloud over all the important work
that we must get done this year. It is in the
best interests of the people and the Senate if
he resigns. I call on him to do so, Steinberg,
D-Sacramento, said in a statement.
Mario Beltran, a spokesman for
Calderon, said he had no immediate
response. Calderons criminal attorney,
Mark Geragos, has not returned repeated
requests for comment.
If Calderon does not
resign or take a leave of
absence, the Senate will
seek to suspend him,
Steinberg said. He noted
that the Senate Rules
Committee already
stripped Calderon of his
committee assignments.
Steinberg said that
while it is true that
Calderon is innocent unless proven guilty,
the Senates ethics code also governs sena-
tors behavior. But he said it would be dif-
cult for the Senates ethics committee to
conduct its own investigation while the fed-
eral prosecution proceeds because the U.S.
Attorneys Ofce asked the Senate not to
call any witnesses in the case.
Steinberg was among three senators
named in an earlier leaked FBI afdavit in
the Calderon investigation. All three said
they were told by federal prosecutors that
they were not targets of the investigation,
and none has been charged.
The indictment released Friday says
Calderon was in contact with three senators
as he attempted to inuence legislation,
listed only as senators A, B and C. It also
refers to an unindicted co-conspirator, who
remains unidentied.

FRESNO Without a lot more rain and
snow, many California farmers caught in
the states drought can expect to receive no
irrigation water this year from a vast system
of rivers, canals and reservoirs interlacing
the state, federal ofcials announced Friday.
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation released
its rst outlook of the year, saying that the
agency will continue to monitor rain and
snow fall, but the grim levels so far prove
that the state is in the throes of one of its
driest periods in recorded history.
Farmers who rely on the federally run
Central Valley Project received only 20 per-
cent of their normal water allotment last
year and were expecting this years bad
news. Some communities and endangered
wildlife that rely on the federal water source
will also suffer deep cuts.
The states snowpack is at 29 percent of
average for this time of year, which means
that for farmers its going to be a hard year.
My gross sales are probably going to be
cut in half, said Bill Diedrich, who farms
1,500 acres of almonds, tomatoes and
other crops in the parched Central Valley
community of Firebaugh. Some farmers
out here are going to lose everything
theyve got.
Gov. Jerry Brown last month declared
Californias drought emergency, and both
state and federal ofcials have pledged mil-
lions of dollars to help with water conser-
vation and food banks for those put out of
work by the drought.
California ofcials who manage the State
Water Project, the states other major water
system, have already said they wont be
releasing any water for farmers, marking a
rst in its 54-year history.

DENVER Two Western states with
some of the nations lowest smoking
rates are considering cracking down
even more by raising the tobacco age
to 21.
Utah and Colorado lawmakers both
voted favorably on proposals
Thursday to treat tobacco like alcohol
and take it away from 18- to 20-year-
olds, a move inspired by new research
on how many smokers start the habit
as teenagers.
By raising the age limit, it puts
them in a situation where theyre not
going to pick it up until a much later
age, said Marla Brannum of Lehi,
Utah, who testied in favor of the idea
there.
In Colorado, the testimony was sim-
ilar that pushing the tobacco age
could make it harder for teens to access
tobacco, and possibly reduce usage
rates among adults.
What Im hoping to do is make it
harder for kids to obtain cigarettes,
said Rep. Cheri Gerou, a Republican
who sponsored the measure.
Both proposals face several more
votes. But theyre the furthest any
states have gone to curb access to cig-
arettes by teens. The director of tobac-
co studies at University College
London didnt know of any other coun-
tries considering a tobacco age thresh-
old of 21, but he said raising the tobac-
co age from 16 to 18 in the United
Kingdom proved to be a public health
winner.
Altria Group Inc., which owns the
countrys largest cigarette maker,
Philip Morris USA, said in a statement
Friday that they support 18 as the min-
imum age to purchase tobacco, which
Congress approved in 2009.
The company, whose tobacco brands
include Marlboro, Parliament and
Virginia Slims, said states should wait
until the Food and Drug
Administration finishes a pending
study of about raising the purchase age
higher than 18.
While we recognize that these are
difcult issues, we believe Congress
has established a thoughtful process
for understanding the issue better, and
we intend to engage in that process,
with FDA, as it takes its course, the
statement said.
Colorado, Utah move to
hike smoking age to 21
Utah and Colorado lawmakers both voted favorably on proposals Thursday to

CELAYA, Mexico Mexico is on
track to become the United States No.
1 source of imported cars by the end of
next year, overtaking Japan and
Canada in a manufacturing boom thats
turning the auto industry into a bigger
source of dollars than money sent
home by migrants.
The boom is raising hopes that
Mexico can create enough new jobs to
pull millions out of poverty as north-
bound migration slows sharply, but
critics caution that most of the new car
jobs are low-skill and pay too little.
Mexicos low and stagnant wages have
kept the poverty rate between 40 and
50 percent since the passage of the
North American Free Trade Agreement
two decades ago.
An $800 million Honda plant that
opened Friday in the central state of
Guanajuato will produce more than
200,000 Fit hatchbacks and compact
sport-utility vehicles a year, helping
push total Mexican car exports to the
U.S. to 1.7 million in 2014, roughly
200,000 more than Japan, consulting
rm IHS Automotive says.
Mexico to trump Japan as
No. 2 car exporter to U.S.
Detroit draws first map
to get out of bankruptcy
DETROIT Detroit presented its
rst full road map for leaving bank-
ruptcy Friday, outlining an elaborate
plan to restructure $18 billion in debt,
demolish thousands of blighted homes
and invest in the broken-down infra-
structure that has made the city a sym-
bol of urban decay.
If approved by a judge, the wide-
ranging proposal would sharply reduce
payments to some retirees and credi-
tors. Pension holders could expect to
get 70 percent to 90 percent of what
they are owned, while many banks
would receive as little as 20 percent.

OPINION 9
Job loss nonsense
Editor,
Why is it so difcult to understand
the real effect of the now-infamous
CBO projection of the labor market
impact of the ACA, unless you really
want to misrepresent the issue
(Boston Herald Other voices: The
job loss from the Affordable Care
Act in the Feb. 7 edition of the Daily
Journal)?
Republican politicians and right-
wing media are correct when pointing
to the CBO report as nonpartisan, but
they are totally wrong when they call
the projected 2.3 million equivalent
employee reduction as layoffs result-
ing in more unemployment. The CBO
projection has nothing to do with
employer-generated layoff actions,
only voluntary employment changes
by employees who no longer are
dependent upon their old workplace
for health insurance. These people do
not become what is dened as unem-
ployed. Some simply cut back on
their hours. Spouses may not have to
work full time anymore just to keep
health insurance. Some may now
have the chance to start businesses
on their own, and some may retire
earlier due to expanded Medicare, as
clearly explained by those who issued
the report.
However, and this is an important
point totally ignored by those who
ght against the success of
Obamacare: Those positions left open
will to some extent have to be lled.
By whom? The previously unem-
ployed, of course, so that the net
result is less unemployment. Listen,
Republicans: This is personal free-
dom at work. The whole thing is
actually quite simple, unless you grab
any opportunity to trash health cov-
erage for all, preying on gullible peo-
ple ready to swallow anything to take
Obama down. Compassionate and
patriotic? Yeah.

Recognize the
1992 Khojaly Massacre
Editor,
On Feb. 26, Azerbaijani-Americans
will commemorate the 22nd anniver-
sary of the rst largest mass killing
of civilians in Europe since World
War II. On that night in 1992, during
the Nagorno-Karabakh War, Armenian
forces supported by Russias 366th
infantry regiment attacked the
Azerbaijani town of Khojaly and mas-
sacred its eeing residents. According
to Newsweek, many were killed at
close range while trying to ee; some
had their faces mutilated, others were
scalped. 613 civilians, including
106 women and 63 children, were tor-
tured to death, hundreds more went
missing. More than 1,000 people
received permanent health damage,
and 1,275 people were taken hostage.
More than 150 children lost one or
both of their parents.
Human Rights Watch, Amnesty
International, Associated Press and
many other sources attested the fact
that the Armenian forces carried out
the massacre. Armenian eld com-
mander, Monte Melkonyan, gave a
shocking witness account of the
Khojaly killing elds in his diary,
reproving fellow Armenian ghters
for the war crime. Finally, Armenias
incumbent president, Serzh Sargsyan,
admitted in an interview that his
forces acted in revenge to break the
stereotype of Azerbaijanis. Yet, the
ofcial Armenia and the Armenian-
American lobby deny these facts;
instead they push a myth that
Azerbaijanis massacred their own citi-
zens.
As the United States mediates a
peaceful settlement of the Armenia-
Azerbaijan conict, our recognition
of its largest atrocity is important for
healing and reconciliation. In the
recent years, the legislatures in
Massachusetts, Texas, Georgia,
Pennsylvania, New Mexico,
Arkansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee,
West Virginia, Florida and
Connecticut recognized the Khojaly
Massacre. I join members of the Pax
Turcica Institute in requesting a reso-
lution to commemorate the victims of
this horric act of ethnic cleansing.

able at http://khojaly.azeris.org.

Letters to the editor
Express News, San Antonio
R
aising the nations debt ceil-
ing should be routine. This
allows the federal govern-
ment to pay its bills obligations
substantially imposed by Congress.
But this has become not so routine.
Last week, the House majoritys lead-
ership needed the House minority to
muster enough votes to accomplish
even this boilerplate legislation. And
on Wednesday, Republican leaders,
because of recalcitrance in the GOP
rank and le, had to provide the votes
to allow a oor vote on the legisla-
tion, which then passed 55-43.
That so much effort was required to
accomplish what should be so routine
says much about the dysfunctional
state of Congress these days. But in
this drama, some sanity emerged. Our
hope is that it lasts.
House Speaker John Boehner pre-
vented another useless display of
brinkmanship by outwardly defying
his own caucus, which secretly wanted
to avoid another crisis but didnt want
to take the heat for raising the debt
ceiling.
And the same dynamic existed in
the Senate, where Texas own John
Cornyn joined Minority Leader Mitch
McConnell to get past the 60 votes to
clear a procedural hurdle to get the bill
to the oor.
Then theres Texas other senator,
Ted Cruz. He forced the need to get
those 60 votes. Yes, the junior sena-
tor yearned for yet another showdown
after helping engineer the last shut-
down in October. The country was not
amused.
In the House, only 28 Republicans
voted for the measure, joining 221
Democrats. Conservative groups are
now calling for the speakers ouster.
And both McConnell and Cornyn
had to know they were helping pri-
mary election foes. Cornyns chal-
lengers have laughably been trying to
paint one of the most conservative
senators in the country as a liberal.
The GOP caucuses likely wont
admit it, but Boehner, McConnell and
Cornyn all took one for their team.
And helped the nation.
But heres the biggest takeaway.
Important legislation got approved in
the House because the speaker allowed
a oor vote. And it got approved in
the Senate because a few Republicans
nagled the bill onto the oor for a
vote.
This has been rare. Legislation has
been blocked, in the House because of
the so-called Hastert rule, which dic-
tates that no legislation moves if the
majority of the GOP caucus disap-
proves. And procedural maneuvers by
the minority party in the Senate have
blocked legislation there.
So, how many meaningful measures
might now be law with the kind of
straight-up votes that occurred here?
Imagine: members of Congress run-
ning in this midterm election on
accomplishment rather than obstruc-
tion.
Taking one for the team
Special district
dysfunctions
W
hat job would pay $1,100 per hour? At more than
$2 million in annualized pay, one would think it
would require a high level of skill, education and
experience. One might think a ballplayer, surgeon or top
tech talent would ll the bill.
One would be wrong. To make $1,100 per hour all one
needs to be is a part-time politi-
cian.
Thats right. As reported last
fall, one San Mateo County har-
bor commissioner in 2012
received pay and benets work-
ing out to $1,100 per hour for
attending commission meetings.
Of course, attending meetings
actually required some work. A
former harbor commissioner
received $18,348 in benets, and
shes dead. Lifetime benets for
commissioners require payment
to her son, who is on her health
insurance policy until he is 26.
The San Mateo County Harbor Commission is one of the
more egregious examples of special district dysfunction. As
reported in this newspaper, the Harbor Commission has
devolved into a morass of personal recriminations, nger-
pointing, dueling harassment complaints and public out-
rage. Things have gotten so bad that armed sheriffs
deputies must attend their meetings.
In just one example of district dysfunction, the newly
hired nance director found almost $38,000 in uncashed ten-
ant checks in the desk drawer of an employee. Due to the
mismanagement, some tenants were wrongly charged with
being in arrears while others werent billed for their berth
fees at all. The district is one of 24 independent special dis-
tricts in the county. These exist to provide such services as
sewer, water and re protection, as well as health care, vec-
tor control and more. They have their own elected board
members and employees.
Because they are small and provide obscure services (vec-
tor control?), the districts avoid scrutiny and board members
are re-elected with little or no opposition. Yet they collec-
tively spend a large amount of tax dollars, many times in
outrageous and incompetent ways.
Overseen by the Local Agency Formation Commission,
they are to have a service review every ve years. Yet, the
San Mateo County LAFCo has just one full-time employee
and, as the civil grand jury points out, it is behind on timely
reviews and those it does perform can be perfunctory at best.
As a result, the civil grand jury has stepped in to investi-
gate mismanagement, incompetence, malfeasance and other
issues in special districts across the county. In the last two
years, the civil grand jury issued investigative reports on
ve separate special districts.
Reportedly in the middle of a Harbor Commission investi-
gation, the civil grand jury has already investigated the
commission twice since 2000. The Los Trancos County
Water District was investigated ve years ago for continuing
to exist, but no longer providing water to customers.
Moreover, the Sequoia Healthcare District has been investi-
gated ve times since 2000.
The Sequoia Healthcare District has a history of question-
able expenditure of the tax payments extracted from home-
owners. Recently, the district gave its CEO a raise, increas-
ing his salary to $192,800 retroactive to April of last year.
The CEO supervises one full-time employee.
The SHD has spent more than $11 million on a nursing
program at Caada College in conjunction with San
Francisco State University, which made the districts tax-
payers the largest single donor to San Francisco State last
year, according to the San Francisco Business Times. Yet,
there are no requirements that students live in the district or
that graduates work there.
The SHD can only point to 50 graduates employed in the
county, let alone in the district. That means district taxpay-
ers have shelled out $220,000 per the locally employed,
with no guarantee that any actually provide services to
those who paid for the program.
In another case, the civil grand jury found that the San
Mateo County Mosquito and Vector Control District so
incompetently run that it did no background checks on
potential employees. The result was hiring a nance director
convicted of previous embezzlement. Management granted
her family and medical leave while she was in fact serving
prison time for embezzlement charges.
It comes as no surprise that she and an accomplice embez-
zled hundreds of thousands of dollars from district taxpayers
before being caught.
Special districts play an important role in our county,
many times delivering vital services. However, their small
size should not let them escape oversight and public scruti-
ny. Its up to voters to pay attention. Otherwise, part-time
politicians will continue to earn $1,100 per hour and con-
victed embezzlers will be hired to oversee your tax dollars.

Big movers
By Steve Rothwell
NEW YORK Stocks slipped on
Friday, pushing the market to a week-
ly loss, as investors assessed the lat-
est round of company earnings.
Express Scripts, the largest U.S.
pharmacy benefits manager, fell after
its fourth-quarter earnings slipped,
hurt by the loss of UnitedHealth, a
large customer. Groupon plunged
after the online deals company said it
expects to post a loss this quarter and
issued a weak outlook for the year.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
rose in early trading Friday and had
almost wiped out its loss for the year
by late morning, climbing to within
two points of it record close. By late
afternoon the index started to turn
lower.
The stock market has gained this
month after getting a boost from
decent corporate earnings for the
fourth quarter and optimism that the
economy will start to pull out of its
winter slump as the weather
improves.
While investors have been willing
to overlook much of the weak eco-
nomic data this month, they appear
reluctant to push the stock market
back above its recent highs before
they see firmer evidence that the
economy is sustaining its recovery.
Investors are giving the economic
data points a bit of a free pass, but at
the same time theyre not fully con-
vinced either, said Robert Pavlik,
chief market strategist at Banyan
Partners, a wealth management firm.
The S&P 500 index fell 3.53
points, or 0.2 percent, to 1,836.25.
The index lost 2.38 points for the
week and is now 12 points below its
record close of 1,848.38, set Jan. 15.
The Dow Jones industrial average
fell 29.93 points, or 0.2 percent, to
16, 103. 30. The Nasdaq composite
dropped 4.13 points, or 0.1 percent,
to 4,263.41.
Among individual stocks, Express
Scripts fell $3.11, or 4 percent, to
$74.01 after it reported its results.
Groupon plunged $2.25, or 21.9
percent, to $8.03 after the online
deals company said it was ramping up
its marketing campaign and forecast
2014 pre-tax earnings to be only
slightly higher than last year.
Stock investors have had a bumpy
ride so far this year.
The S&P 500 was down almost 6
percent for the year at the start of
February amid concerns about slow-
ing growth in China and other emerg-
ing markets, as well as worries about
the state of the U.S. economy. Since
then stocks have rebounded, but
some investors arent convinced the
recovery will last.
Ive felt all along that this is
going to be a very volatile year, said
Uri Landesman, president of Platinum
Partners, an investment management
company. For me, youve got a lot
more downside than upside.
The S&P 500 rose almost 30 per-
cent last year, and investors are now
too bullish on the stock market,
making it vulnerable to a sell-off,
Landesman said.
Ameren, a utility company based in
St. Louis, Mo., was among the win-
ners on Friday.
The stock rose $2.07, or 5.3 per-
cent, to $40.88, making it the
biggest gainer in the S&P 500.
Ameren reported earnings that beat
Wall Streets expectations after cold
weather boosted demand for gas and
electricity.
Early gain fades for stocks; S&P 500 declines
Ive felt all along that this is going to be a very volatile
year. ... For me, youve got a lot more downside than upside.

WASHINGTON It looks like the gov-
ernment is more conicted about cellphones
on planes than most travelers. Even as one
federal agency considers allowing the calls,
another now wants to make sure that doesnt
happen.
Passengers particularly those who y
often oppose allowing calls in ight,
polls show. In line with that sentiment, the
Department of Transportation signaled in a
22-page notice posted online Friday that it
wants to retain a ban on the calls. But the
notice comes just two months after the
Federal Communications Commission
voted to pursue lifting the ban.
Transportation regulates aviation con-
sumer issues. The FCC has responsibility
over whether the use of cellphones in ight
would interfere with cellular networks on the
ground.
FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler has said he
wants to repeal the current ban, calling it
restrictive and outdated. He also wants the
airlines, not the government, to have nal
say on in-ight calling. He declined to com-
ment Friday on the Transportation
Departments notice.
Echoing some travelers concerns,
Transportation said it believes allowing
passengers to make cellphone calls may
be harmful or injurious to other passen-
gers.
This is because people tend to talk louder
on cellphones than when theyre having
face-to-face conversations, the department
said. They are also likely to talk more and
further increase the noise on a ight, as pas-
sengers would not be simply talking to the
persons sitting next to them but can call
whomever they like.
Some planes already have seat-back
phones in place, but they are rarely used, it
said.
The concern is not about individual calls,
but rather the cumulative impact of allowing
in-ight calls in close quarters, the depart-
ment said.
In an Associated Press-GfK poll three
months ago, 48 percent of those surveyed
opposed letting cellphones be used for
voice calls while planes are in ight, while
19 percent were in favor and 30 percent were
neutral.
Cellphone calls on planes? Dont ask the feds
By Josh Baok
WASHINGTON Sales of existing
U.S. homes plummeted in January to
the worst pace in 18 months. Cold
weather, limited supplies of homes on
the market and higher buying costs
held back purchases.
The National Association of
Realtors said Friday that sales fell to a
seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.62
million units last month. That was
down 5.1 percent from the December
pace. The sales rate declined 5.1 per-
cent over the previous 12 months.
Higher mortgage rates and higher
prices have contributed to a slowdown
in home buying in ve of the past six
months. Freezing temperatures and
snowstorms have also caused most
housing activity to slip this winter.
The agging sales suggest a decelera-
tion from the momentum for much of
2013, when 5.09 million homes were
sold, the most in seven years.
Such a picture confirms that the
U.S. housing market reached its peak
at the end of 2013 and further reaccel-
eration is unlikely near term,
Annalisa Piazza of Newedge Strategy
said in a research note.
Home building dipped 16 percent in
January from December, the Commerce
Department said this week. Signed
contracts to buy homes plunged in
December, foreshadowing the January
drop-off, the Realtors said in a sepa-
rate report.
The weather has kept would-be buy-
ers from venturing to open houses,
while construction crews have endured
work stoppages.
But sales also declined in parts of the
country where weather was less of a
factor. This suggested that price pres-
sures and tight inventories are also
weighing on the real estate market.
Buying fell 7.3 percent in Western
states, the region less affected by win-
ter storms and where average prices are
the highest. That decline was signi-
cantly larger than in the Northeast,
South and Midwest. The median price
of homes in the West is $273,500,
almost double the median price in the
Midwest.
Home sales plunged 5.1 percent in January
WASHINGTON The Federal
Reserve agonized in 2008 over how far
to go to stop a nancial crisis that
threatened to cause a recession and at
times struggled to recognize its speed
and magnitude.
Were crossing certain lines. Were
doing things we havent done before,
Chairman Ben Bernanke said as Fed
ofcials met in an emergency session
March 10 and launched never-before-
taken steps to lend to teetering Wall
Street firms, among a series of
unorthodox moves that year to calm
investors and aid the economy.
On the other hand, this nancial
crisis is now in its eighth month, and
the economic outlook has worsened
quite signicantly.
The Fed on Friday released hundreds
of pages of transcripts covering its 14
meetings during 2008 eight regular-
ly scheduled meetings and six emer-
gency sessions. The Fed releases full
transcripts of each years policy meet-
ings after a ve-year lag.
The 2008 transcripts cover the most
tumultuous period of the crisis, includ-
ing the collapse and rescue of invest-
ment bank Bear Stearns, the govern-
ment takeover of mortgage giants
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the fate-
ful decision to let investment bank
Lehman Brothers fold in the largest
bankruptcy in U.S. history and the
bailout of insurer American
International Group.
For all its aggressive steps in 2008,
the transcripts show the Fed failing at
times to grasp the size of the catastro-
phe they were dealing with. Bernanke
and his top lieutenants often expressed
puzzlement that they werent manag-
ing to calm panicky investors.
As late as Sept. 16, a day after
Lehman Brothers led for bankruptcy,
Bernanke declared, I think that our
policy is looking actually pretty
good.
Transcripts show Fed at times slow to grasp crisis

PAL tournament finals set

The Mills boys basketball team convert-
ed on 7 of 8 free throws and then played
lock-down defense to upset Half Moon Bay
53-48 in overtime in a seminal game at the
Peninsula Athletic League Tournament at
Capuchino High Friday night.
Robert Noland, who scored a team-high
12 points, was 4 of 4 from the line, with
Daniel Yu knocking down a pair and Tyler
Wright hitting 1 of 2 from the free throw
line in overtime, outscoring Half Moon Bay
8-2 in the extra period. The Vikings then
limited the Cougars to just a layup to move
into the championship game against
Burlingame, which beat Aragon 66-51 in
the other seminal.
The championship game is slated for a
7:45 tip at Capuchino Saturday night.
Mills led for most of the game, forcing
Half Moon Bay to rally in the fourth quarter
to force overtime. The Vikings led 10-8
after one quarter of play and 25-22 at half.
Half Moon Bay tied the score at 35 heading
into the fourth quarter and then rallied from
a ve-point decit over the nal eight min-
utes to force overtime. The Cougars had a
chance to win it in regulation, but center
Rico Nuos desperation 3-point attempt at
the buzzer fell short.
In addition to Nolands 12 points,
Marquez Bura and Wright added 10 points
Burlingame tops the Dons, Mills upsets HMB North teams Westmoor, South City to meet
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The South City girls basketball team
showed that the Peninsula Athletic Leagues
North Division is no slouch.
The Warriors stunned Carlmont, the No. 1
team from the PALSouth, 50-42, to advance to
the championship game of the PAL
Tournament.
They will face Westmoor, the top seed from
the North, which buried Terra Nova, 73-42, in
the other seminal game.
The championship game is scheduled for a 6
p.m. tip Saturday at Capuchino High.
South City did a great job of taking us out
of the thing we like to do, said Carlmont
coach Dan Mori.
The biggest of which was holding
Carlmonts Anisah Smith in check. The senior
guard came into the game averaging over 20
points per game, but after a lackluster per-
formance in the tournament opener against
Half Moon Bay, during which Smith was held
to just nine points, she struggled against a
quick, physical South City defense, scoring
13 points on 4 of 17 shooting from the eld.
We knew we had to take out Smith, said
South City coach Paul Carion. Make her as
uncomfortable as possible.
Carion assigned that task to junior Mira
Avila, who shadowed Smith all over the court
and forced her to work for every dribble, every
pass, every shot. Avilas quickness bothered

SOCHI, Russia For the rematch, Canada
skipped the overtime and shelved the the-
atrics.
One slick goal and 60 minutes of stiing
defensive hockey kept the Canadians rmly
on top of the U.S. and moved them to the
brink of gold again.
Jamie Benn scored in the second period,
Carey Price made 31 saves, and Canada beat
the United States 1-0 Friday night in the
seminals of the Olympic mens hockey
tournament.
Canada advanced to the gold-medal match
Sunday against Sweden, which beat Finland
2-1 in the earlier seminal at Bolshoy Ice
Dome.
With an unbeaten run through Sochi, the
Canadians are a win away from their third
gold medal in four Olympics, and theyre
guaranteed their rst medals outside North
America in 20 years.
Although it was fast-paced and well-
played, this win had none of the air of
Sidney Crosbys overtime goal to beat the
U.S. four years ago. The Canadians didnt
care.
We didnt score a lot of goals, but we did-
nt have to, Canada forward Jonathan Toews
said. The next game will follow that work
ethic. We can check, we can work our tails
off, and we can make things real tough for
the other team.
After its rst loss in Sochi, the U.S. will
face Finland for bronze on Saturday. The
Americans were hoping for redemption from
their gut-wrenching defeat in 2010, but they
only got a businesslike reminder of
Canadas clout.
We didnt show up to play, U.S. defense-
man Ryan Suter said. Its too bad. ... We sat
back. We were passive. You cant play
scared. I thought we sat on our heels and just
didnt take it to them at all.
Indeed, the defending Olympic champions
left little doubt about their North American
hockey dominance in a rematch of the nale
of the Vancouver Games. Although the
Canadians had no signature moments and
never pulled away, they also never appeared
seriously threatened.
From faceoff to nal buzzer, Canada was in
control thanks to Price, Benn and defense-
man Jay Bouwmeester, whose pass created
Benns goal. All three players werent on the
Canadian team in Vancouver, but theyre a
win away from earning their own gold
medals.
Obviously we knew it was going to be a
tight match going in, Benn said. We found
a way to get one, our team played great team
defense, and our goalie shut the door.
The Canadians havent even trailed in the
Sochi Olympics, and they coolly main-
tained border supremacy on the U.S. by
defending their blue line with authority.
Their stiing defense has allowed just
three goals in ve games, and they clamped
down on an American offense that had scored
19 goals in Sochi for every minute of a
slightly anti-climactic evening.
We didnt really create much offense,
U.S. forward Patrick Kane said. Its a little
disappointing. ... I think everyone expected
a tight-checking game, but to say we would
have gotten shut out, I dont think anyone
would have thought that.
Jonathan Quick stopped 36 shots in a
strong performance for the Americans, who
had trailed for just 7:19 in Sochi before
Benns goal put them in a hole they never
escaped.
Canada scored early in the second period
during a shift by Benn and Anaheim Ducks
teammates Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf.
Benn got the puck outside to Bouwmeester,
who threaded a pass into the slot for Benns
deflection past Quick, whose aggression
sometimes makes him vulnerable to such
shots.
Benn, the Dallas Stars captain, didnt get
an invitation to Canadas summer Olympic
orientation camp and was one of the last
players added to the roster. But hes had a
great tournament and his goal was all the
offense needed by Price, the Montreal goalie
who easily handled the Americans few good
chances, including their clunky power
plays.
The Americans still havent won Olympic
gold since the Miracle on Ice in a drought
that will be at 38 years by the next
Olympics, no matter whos wearing the U.S.
uniform there.

KRASNAYAPOLYANA, Russia Mikaela
Shiffrin made Alpine skiing history Friday as
the youngest ever winner of an Olympic
slalom gold medal after making an astonish-
ing recovery midway through her second run.
The 18-year-old American showed impres-
sive balance and agility to protect her lead
from a near-awless rst run to win in 1
minute, 44.54 seconds.
Shiffrin hesitated to celebrate as she com-
pleted her run, and only seemed sure she had
won when the other medalists, Austrian team-
mates Marlies Schild and Kathrin Zettel, came
across the nish area to raise her arms in tri-
umph.
She nished 0.53 seconds faster than
Schild, one of Shiffrins childhood favorites.
At 32, Schild has now won a slalom medal at
three straight Olympics without winning
gold.
Zettel took bronze, trailing 0.81 behind
Shiffrin, and cried after securing her rst
Olympic medal following a series of near-
misses at the past two Winter Games.
Shiffrin claimed the record for youngest
Olympic slalom champion, male or female,
from Paoletta Magoni of Italy, who won gold
at the 1984 Sarajevo Games when she was 19.
The Vail, Co. native completed a full set of
slalom honors Olympic and world champi-
onship gold medals and a season-long World
Cup discipline title before her 19th birth-
day next month.
This time, however, she won from the front
instead of her usual aggressive second-run
tactics to overhaul other racers.
Shiffrin had built a 0.49 advantage over
Maria Hoe-Riesch of Germany in late after-
noon, using nimble footwork to deal with
soft snow and a tight gate-setting on the
steep course.
Schild had been only sixth-fastest, trailing
Shiffrin by 1.34.
Hoe-Riesch faded on her second time
down to nish fourth in what is likely her
Olympic farewell race, 1.19 behind Shiffrin
and 0.38 outside the medals.
Its really emotional. No matter whats
going to happen, I had a great Olympic
career, Hoe-Riesch said after her rst run.
The German has been the subject of specu-
lation that she will retire when the season
ends next month.
Shiffrin is the rst American woman to get
a slalom medal of any color since Barbara
Cochran won gold at the 1972 Sapporo
Olympics.
She showed her patriotic colors wearing a
stars-and-stripes design on her race helmet
and a small painted ag with USAwritten into
it on the right side of her neck.
Shiffrin lifted the American Alpine teams
tally to ve medals, including two golds, at
the Sochi Olympics.
Like giant slalom winner Ted Ligety,
Shiffrin delivered under pressure as the strong
pre-race favorite and rst-run leader. But she
needed to match the famous recovery skills of
teammate Bode Miller to make her way
through a series of gates on the steep, ood-
lit course.

American Mikaela Shiffrin,at the age of 18,made Olympic history by becoming the youngest
skier to ever win a gold medal in slalom.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Sam Fuld has
never backed down from a challenge and
thats been a major reason hes still playing
professional baseball. Hes facing his latest
test trying to make the roster of the Oakland
Athletics as a reserve outelder.
Fuld said its all about perseverance and
the willingness to do the little things that
help win a ballgame. Its an attitude respect-
ed by As manager Bob Melvin, who
watched Fuld from the opposing bench the
past two years.
Fuld, a non-roster player, was drawn to
Oakland because he felt the As shared simi-
lar characteristics.
Its exciting any time youre in a new
environment, Fuld said Friday. The play-
ers make it easier to transition to a place
like this. Ive always admired what this
team has been about over the years.
Fuld returns to the Bay Area, where he
attended Stanford and was a teammate of As
shortstop Jed Lowrie there. Fellow outeld-
er Michael Taylor is also a former Cardinal
player.
Challenges are nothing new for the 32-
year-old outelder, who appeared in 268
games with the Tampa Bay Rays the previ-
ous three seasons, batting .230 with 21
doubles, ve home runs and 49 RBIs.
Fuld was diagnosed with childhood dia-
betes when he was 10 and continues to
struggle with the disease. He was raised in
New Hampshire, not exactly a gold mine for
major league baseball players hes one of
37 from the state to have reached the big
leagues.
He called the move from New Hampshire
to Stanford his biggest adjustment.
It was a huge change for me, said Fuld,
who left the school four years later as its all-
time runs scored leader. I wanted to chal-
lenge myself and that was denitely a chal-
lenge.
Fuld set a school single-season record for
hits and nished with 356 overall, second
only to John Gall, who played with the St.
Louis Cardinals and played for Team USAat
the 2008 Olympics.
He also tops the school charts in at-bats
with 1,071, one of two players, with Gall,
to reach 1,000 at-bats.
Melvin called him a pest as an oppos-
ing manager.
Hes a smart player who knows how to
play as a role player, Melvin said. He
plays defense all-out and to bring in new
guys who t our style can only add to our
success.
Fuld can play all four outeld spots and
can be used as a defensive replacement, a
pinch hitter or pinch runner and showed,
with the Rays, he could be an everyday
player, too.

Smith and when it came to crunch time, the
Warriors team defense suffocated the Scots.
Actually, it was more than just crunch time.
South City got into the passing lanes and
tipped a lot of Carlmont passes or simply
stripped the Scots of the ball.
They did a good job with quick hands,
Mori said. For some reason we tried to
dribble through everyone.
Westmoor came up with 17 steals and forced
Carlmont into eight turnovers.
Our main thing was basic basketball,
Carion said. Protect the ball and play good
defense.
Avilas defense on Smith did not affect her
offense. Avila scored a game-high 22 points,
draining four 3-pointers in the process.
South City got off to a quick start, jumping
out to a 5-1 lead to start the game, but
Carlmont responded with a 8-0 run as the
Warriors went nearly two minutes without a
point.
After one quarter, Carlmont led 10-7.
South City did not do itself any favors by
missing its rst 13 free throws and 15 of 18 in
the rst half. Yet somehow the Warriors man-
aged to keep the game close and trailed by one
at the half, 21-20.
In the third quarter, there were eight lead
changes or ties as Avila hit a pair of free
throws early in the period to give the Warriors
their rst lead since the rst quarter.
The Warriors got a spike of momentum at
the end of the third when Charlene Halal
drained a 3-pointer two steps behind the arc
just before the quarter buzzer to give South
City a 30-29 lead going into the nal eight
minutes.
The Warriors would not trail again the rest of
the way.
Avila opened the nal period with a 3 and
another basket, followed by a third unan-
swered bucket as South City opened up a 37-29
advantage with 6:36 to play. Carlmont got a
pair of free throws from Sabrina Miller and a
layup from Cam Kondo to slow South Citys
momentum, but it was only briey, as the
Scots would get no closer than ve points the
rest of the way.
Free-throw shooting woes nearly came back
to haunt the Warriors as they missed four
straight down the stretch, but Carlmont could
not take advantage. The Warriors nally hit 2
of 4 in the nal few seconds for the nal mar-
gin of victory.
[The Warriors] did what they needed to do to
win, Mori said.
Westmoor 73, Terra Nova 42
In the rst round of the PAL Tournament
Wednesday, the Tigers put a 40-point beating
on Mills, crushing the Vikings 60-20.
Now Terra Nova knows how it feels.
Westmoor, the top seed from the North, beat
the Tigers for the third time this season and it
wasnt even close. After lead 16-7 after the
rst quarter, the Rams blitzed the Tigers in the
second period, connecting on 12 of 19 shots
as they outscored Terra Nova 33-7 to lead 41-
13 at halftime and cruised to the victory.
Westmoor didnt have one player light up
the Tigers. Tiara Cobbs led the way with 13
points, Roni Niveria added 11 and Kasey
Liang nished with 10. Instead, the Rams used
nearly their entire roster to hand the Tigers
one of their worst beatings in recent memory.
Ten of the 14 players on the Westmoor roster
scored and the Rams played most of the fourth
quarter with their reserves.
Terra Nova was led by Alynna Vega, who n-
ished with 17 points, but most of those came
after the game was well decided. Arianna
Sheehy was the only other Tiger to score in
double gures, nishing with 12.
The Rams also dominated on the glass, lim-
iting Terra Nova to one-and-done more often
than not. Westmoor pulled down 18 rebounds
in the rst quarter alone and nished the game
by outrebounding the Tigers 56-27.

WHATS ON TAP
By Mark Long
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. Its
been a decade since Dale Earnhardt
Jr. s lone Daytona 500 victory.
Hes come close so many times
since, even nishing second three
of the last four years, but has yet
to make that
coveted drive
down pit road
and into
Victory Lane.
No one
should be sur-
prised to find
him back there
Sunday.
Forget that
Denny Hamlin
and Matt Kenseth have won the
rst three Sprint Cup races during
Speedweeks. Disregard that
Richard Childress Racing has
pole-sitter Austin Dillon, who is
driving the No. 3 made famous by
Earnhardts late father, as well as
three other stout cars. Ignore that
anything can and often does hap-
pen at Daytona International
Speedway.
This just might be Juniors year.
The 39-year-old driver seems
primed for his best season ever,
and it starts at the track forever
linked to his family name because
of triumph and tragedy.
Im excited about getting back
out there, Earnhardt said. Im
looking forward to seeing how we
can do and how our performance is
going to be right off the bat. Its
going to be a fun year, I think. I
think were going to enjoy our-
selves. We did last year. We seem
to get better every year, and hope-
fully that trajectory is still the
same going into this season.
Earnhardt was fth in points last
season, his best showing since
nishing third in 2003. And had
NASCAR already switched to its
new points system, Earnhardt
would have won his first Cup
championship.
He had eight top-10 nishes in
the 10-race Chase, hitting his
stride just a few weeks too late to
catch Hendrick Motorsports team-
mate Jimmie Johnson. Johnson
edged Kenseth for his sixth title in
the last eight seasons.
Earnhardt was nearly as hot as
those two down the stretch, and
hes hoping to nd some carry-
over into The Great American
Race.
He won the 2004 Daytona 500,
the rst of his six victories that
season. But he has just four victo-
ries since and no multi-win sea-
sons.
It doesnt seem like its been
that long, but time goes by pretty
fast, Earnhardt said. It seems
like these last several years have
really own by, especially when
you enjoy yourself. They seemed
to grind out when youre not run-
ning too well, but the last couple
of years have flown by pretty
fast.
Earnhardt made the Chase the
last three years, becoming
increasingly comfortably at
Hendrick while working with crew
chief Steve Letarte. Together, they
turned around the No. 88
Chevrolet and made it a contender.
But Letarte announced last
month he will step down after this
season, leaving to become a race
analyst for NBC Sports in 2015.
So this year could be the ultra-pop-
ular drivers best chance to win his
rst Cup championship.
The biggest thing that stands
out is just how well he and Junior
connect, said fellow Hendrick
driver Jeff Gordon, who previous-
ly worked with Letarte. You want
to be able to have that experience
as well as knowledge. Hes a smart
guy, and you want to have that on
your side in any shape or form,
whether as a crew chief or in
another role at Hendrick.
That connection led Earnhardt to
nish second to Jamie McMurray
(2010), Kenseth (2012) and
Johnson (2013) in recent years at
Daytona.
Theyve all been close, he
said. In none of those races did I
have a situation where I went, I let
it slip by. I messed up right there.
Most of the time, we run our guts
out and come to the nish line and
we just never had a chance to make
a move on the guy leading the
race.
When you make that move or
have a chance and you dont do the
right thing and you lose, thats
difcult to swallow. Havent been
in that situation even though
weve run second.
Recalling how those unfolded,
Earnhardt already knows where he
wants to be on the nal lap Sunday
up front.
As far as trying to win one of
these races or not run second
again I think we need to be up
front, Earnhardt said. Were not
far enough toward the front. When
weve run second, weve come
from third or fourth or fifth or
sixth those last few laps.
Youre not going to win the
race from back there. You might
run second, but you arent going to
win. You need to be leading the
race. I would much rather be lead-
ing the Daytona 500 inside of ve
laps to go than be anywhere else.
And if he in that position, he
just might wind up in Daytonas
Victory Lane again.
You never forget exactly what
that day is like, he said. It all
oods back to you as soon as you
come back for Speedweeks each
season. Its very fresh, and youre
constantly reminded I think by
just what goes on during
Speedweeks how important that
victory is and how much you would
like to get it again. Its denitely
fresh.
Little E is primed for
another banner season

Boyd, No. 18 Cal women
endure UCLA 77-72
LOS ANGELES Brittany Boyd
stole the ball with 4 seconds left
and made two free throws to seal
No. 18 Californias 77-72 win and
season sweep of UCLA on Friday
night.
Boyd aggravated an ankle injury
in the final minutes but played
through and finished with 14
points, six rebounds, six assists
and four steals.
Cal (18-7, 10-4 Pac-12) trailed
72-71 when Afure Jemerigbe made
two free throws to give the Golden
Bears the lead for good with 1:48
left. She made two more to put Cal
up 75-72 with 14.8 seconds left.
Jemerigbe led Cal with 15
points, Reshanda Gray had 13
points and 15 rebounds, and
Gennifer Brandon had 14 points
and 11 rebounds.
Nirra Fields led UCLA(12-14, 6-
8) with 30 points in a game with
16 lead changes. Atonye Nyingifa
added 22 points and Thea
Lemberger 17. Fields. Those three
accounted for 69 of the Bruins 72
points.

apiece. Wright also had four blocks.
Half Moon Bay was led by Rico Nuo,
who scored a game-high 21 points.
Shooting guard Corey Cilia added 17, but
they were the only two to score in double
digits for the Cougars.
Half Moon Bay started well, with Cilia
draining a 3 to open the game and added a
steal and a layup to put the Cougars up 5-2
early. Mills responded with a 3 from Bura to
tie the score at 5 and closed the quarter with
a 5-3 run to hold a two-point lead after eight
minutes.
The teams traded baskets in the second
quarter and when Mike McWhirter hit a
bucket for the Vikings, they led 25-18 with
1:35 left in the half. But Half Moon Bay's
Brody Menzies hit a pair of baskets to close
the Cougars decit to three at the half.
The third quarter was much like the sec-
ond, with the teams trading buckets. Tommy
Nuos putback with 3:04 left in the third
tied the score at 32 for Half Moon Bay, but
Mills Jeremy Gibbs drained a 3 to put the
Vikings back on top, 35-32. Rico Nuo
responded with three straight points to tie
the game at 35 going into the nal eight
minutes.
Mills quickly regained the lead with
Noland driving the lane and getting a shot
to go down over Rico Nuo. Bura then
nailed a 3 to put Mills up 40-35. The
Cougars responded with a 3 from Cilia, who
then stole the ball and went in for a layup to
tie the score again, this time at 40.
Gibbs third 3 of the game with 2:35 left
in regulation put Mills up 44-42, but Rico
Nuo tied it a 44. He then put the Cougars
ahead, 46-44, with 1:42 left in regulation,
but Bura tied it at 46 with 1:23 to go.
The Cougars misred on a shot that would
have given them the lead with less than a
minute to play, but with Mills trying to set
up one nal play, Cilia stole the ball from
Noland. The two chased after the ball, crash-
ing into each other along the sideline, with
the referees ruling Half Moon Bay when it
went out of bounds with 26 seconds left.
The Cougars could not take advantage,
however, and the game went into overtime,
with the Vikings prevailing.
Burlingame 66, Aragon 51
There was no question Ferrari was going to
factor into the Pantherswin, but it may not be
the Ferrari with which most are familiar.
Vinny Ferrari, a sophomore and younger
brother of senior star Frankie Ferrari, came in
and did an admirable job guarding Aragon
points guard Alex Manu.
When we put him (Vinny Ferrari) on Manu,
it took him out of his game a little bit, said
Burlingame coach Pete Harames.
After Frankie Ferrari picked up two rst-
quarter fouls while guarding Manu, Harames
went to the younger Ferrari to shadow Manu.
He still nished with a team-high 21 points,
but he certainly had to work a lot harder to get
them.
That allowed Frankie Ferrari to concentrate
more on running the Burlingame offense,
while also nding his scoring rhythm. He n-
ished with 21 points, seven rebounds and
seven assists.
Aragon had no answer for Burlingames 6-7
post Nick Loew, who scored a game-high 22
points and pulled down 13 rebounds.
The third member of Burlingames Big
Three, Justin Gutang, also had a strong
game. He scored 13 points with 11 coming in
the rst half.
He came out ready to play tonight,
Harames said.
Aragon was at a denite disadvantage with-
out the services of shooting guard Toby
Liebergesell, who sat out the game with an ill-
ness.
We just didnt have the repower today,
said Aragon coach Sam Manu. Not having
Toby hurt us. We didnt match up very well.
Aragon kept the game close in the rst quar-
ter, trailing 21-19. In the second quarter,
Burlingame turned up the pressure defensive-
l y, holding the Dons to just six points while
scoring 19 of its own to take a 15-point lead
at halftime, 40-25.
Aragon got as close as 47-35 in the third
quarter following an Alex Manu three-point
play, followed by a steal and layup with 2:38
to play in the quarter, but the Panthers ended
the quarter on a 7-0 run to push their lead to
19, 54-35, going into the nal quarter.
The Dons outscored Burlingame 18-12 over
the nal eight minutes, but it came mostly
against the Panthers reserves.
Despite the relatively easy win, Harames
believes his team can do more.
I dont think we played our best, Harames
said.

The only way to get to this level is to persevere, Fuld
said. Everybody here plays with condence. You have to
work hard and do the little things to help a team win. You
can overcome anything with enough condence.
Fuld was originally drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the
24th round of the 2003 rst-year player draft but returned
to Stanford for his senior year. Drafted in the 10th round
in 2004, Fuld worked his way to the majors in 2007. He
played 98 total games with Chicago in a four-year span.
Ive always had to overcome long odds, he said.

Cook (shoulder) was also given the day off. . The As set
up batting cages side by side on one eld and used pitch-
ing machines to double the action, a trick the team

By Janie McCauley
STANFORD Chiney Ogwumike is strolling across
Stanfords campus on a spectacular sunny morning when two
16-year-old girls from the Seattle area on a college visit recog-
nize her at the landmark spot of Hoover Tower.
Arent you the basketball player? a giddy Lola Oyetuga
asks, standing alongside friend Constance Hosannah.
Yes, thats her the Pac-12s leading scorer and one of the
biggest stars in womens basketball. The girls lucky day,
indeed, as Ogwumike walks right up and spends some 10 min-
utes chatting.
They happened to be at the Feb. 9 game in Seattle against
Washington, a rare Stanford loss. Ogwumike greets them with
the same enthusiasm she shows both strangers and friends
everywhere she goes, reaching out her hand for a high-ve and
asking them to pose for a picture. She promises to stay in
touch on Twitter and Instagram, and she truly means it
reminding them Stanford will be back in the Pacic Northwest
for the Pac-12 tournament next month.
OK, I wish we played at Washington again, I would have left
you tickets, she says.
With Ogwumikes record-setting collegiate basketball career
on its nal countdown, and her graduation date approaching,
she is cherishing every moment of student life moments
like these special chance meetings that can make a difference
in someone elses life just because Ogwumike is being herself.
I have a megawatt smile, its huge, she says. My moms
like, Tone it down.
With the fth-ranked Cardinal on the cusp of a 14th consec-
utive regular-season conference championship this week,
Ogwumike offers a glimpse of her memorable four-year stretch
on The Farm. From the famous Ikes Place sandwich shop on
campus where she once sent an opposing team on the lookout
for a good meal, to her preferred library because the focus lev-
els are so much higher. Theres her newfound preference for
Thai cuisine yellow curry with chicken is a regular pick at
her spot in History Corner when it used to be only Chinese
food. She points to the different buildings where a professor,
mentor or adviser works such as her academic adviser, for-
mer Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
This is it for Ogwumike. She is doing some reecting along
the way while keeping her attention on the moment and the
goals she hopes to achieve before shes through.
Everythings coming full circle, she says. Its the last 10
games or so, all of the work has been put in, athletically and
academically.
Ogwumike will play her nal two Pac-12 home games next
week against Washington and Washington State, then she
hopes the Cardinal will be back at Maples Pavilion for the
NCAAStanford regional from March 29-April 1.
Six games, she says of the remaining schedule at Maples,

Body and Machine in Early 20th-Century Art
By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE
Have you ever been
entrusted to make
final arrangements
for a funeral?
Those of you
whove had this
experience know
that important decisions are required and
must be made in a timely manner. The next
of kin is many times required to search for
information about the deceased which may
not be easily accessible, and must answer
questions without the time to think things
out. Even though your Funeral Director is
trained to guide you every step of the way, it
is still best for you to be prepared with the
proper information if the need should arise.
Ask your Funeral Director what info is
needed before you meet with him/her.
Making funeral arrangements can be very
simple, or can become difficult at times if
you are not prepared. A good Funeral
Director is experienced in leading you with
the necessary requirements, and will offer
details that you may not have thought about
or previously considered as an option.
Allowing him/her to guide you will make
the arrangements go by quickly and easily.
A number of items should be considered
in preparation for the future:
1. Talk to your loved ones about the
inevitable. Give them an indication on what
your wishes are regarding the type of funeral
you want, burial or cremation, etc., and ask
them their feelings about plans for their own
funeral. This is only conversation, but it is
an important topic which will help break the
ice and prevent any type of confusion when
the time comes.
2. Talk to your Funeral Director. Write
down a list of questions and make a phone
call to your Funeral Director asking how to
be prepared. He/she will gladly provide
detailed information and can mail this
information to you for your reference.
Asking questions doesnt cost anything and
will help you with being organized.
3. Make an appointment and Pre-plan a
Funeral. Many more people are following
through with this step by making Pre-Need
Arrangements. Completing arrangements
ahead of time makes this process more
relaxed, and putting these details behind you
will take a weight off your shoulders. Your
wishes will be finalized and kept on file at
the Mortuary. Your Funeral Director will
even help you set aside funding now as to
cover costs at the time of death. Families
who meet with us at the CHAPEL OF THE
HIGHLANDS are grateful for the chance to
make Pre-Need Arrangements. With their
final details in place it helps to make matters
more calming for surviving loved-ones.
4. Enjoy Life. There are those who dwell
on situations that cant be controlled.
Taking time to stop and look around at
beauty in the world and appreciate good
things can be therapeutic. If you need to use
a negative statement, try re-wording it into a
positive. Change I had a lousy day today
into Today was demanding, but it made me
appreciate my better days. As the song
goes: Accentuate the positive; Eliminate
the negative; Latch on to the affirmative.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

Burlingame Avenue Caltrain Station on the
residential stretch of Burlingame Avenue.
The first would be a 30,200-square-foot
building closer to Caltrain, the second
would be the popular 35,500-square-foot
building located where the current commu-
nity center is and the last would be a
41,900-square-foot structure a little farther
down the street. The current structure is
25,000 square feet. At this point, the city is
wrapping up the needs assessment, site
analysis and program options.
Hillsborough resident Peggy McLaughlin
said she would like a new center to be tradi-
tional in style, matching a building like the
main library.
[It should] take advantage of the visible
setting, she said. I do yoga here, so I want
to make sure we have those kinds of nice
rooms. Id like a welcome, friendly atmos-
phere.
Fittingly, having a really functional exer-
cise room was another front-runner in the
citys community survey of about 200 peo-
ple.
Back in January 2013, the Parks and
Recreation Department began work with
Group 4 Architects on a master design plan
for the community center. A project man-
agement team formed out of city staff and
the architectural team, as well as a commu-
nity advisory committee composed of lead-
ers and community stakeholders. There were
focus group meetings with seniors; the
Lions Club; teens; neighbors; families with
preschool-aged children; and school-aged
parents, parent teacher associations and
teachers. A community meeting was also
held on Sept. 18, 2013.
The project management group is devel-
oping design concepts and coming up with
an implementation plan, which it will rene
and present a recommendation, said archi-
tect Dawn Merkes, the principal for Group
4. At this time, there is no funding allocat-
ed for the project, so securing funding would
also be part of the process.
Other needs for the building include func-
tional improvements and getting the struc-
ture up to American with Disabilities Act
standards. Adding additional classrooms
was also popular, according to public feed-
back received. Merkes said some site goals
include a better building and site relation-
ship, connecting the center to the park; safe
and convenient access by car, pedestrian or
bike; visibility from downtown and the
Caltrain station; complementing the resi-
dential neighborhood, especially when it
comes to existing and proposed community
uses; minimizing the trafc and parking
impact to the surrounding neighborhood;
easy access to and from outdoor activity
areas; and providing improved safety for the
playground.
Having a sustainable building is a key
thing to resident Jeff Londer.
I would like to see the building and park-
ing have as small a footprint as possible;
its essentially a park, he said.
The community also seemed in support of
a two-story building to accommodate a larg-
er building program on a smaller footprint
of 25,000 square feet, according to the sur-
vey.
In terms of parking, the city would have
to provide 143 parking spaces for both
Washington Park and the new community
center per the Institute of Transportation
Engineers parking rate of 3.2 cars per 1,000
square feet of building area. The city is look-
ing into providing a combination of surface
and underground parking to meet minimum
parking requirements and, if funding is
available, utilize under-building parking to
minimize surface parking within the park
and utilize off-site parking strategies for
large events and peak use.
Parks and Recreation Commissioner
Donna Colson brought up concerns that
underground parking could be difcult to
maintain with Burlingames water table lev-
els.
Merkes said the main library has base-
ment parking and is designed waterproof
like a bathtub. Rising sea level is also
being considered, Merkes said.
Theres ways to mitigate it, she said.
There definitely is a cost implication;
underground parking is signicantly more
expensive.
Meanwhile, other residents would like to
see a preschool brought back to the build-
ing, including Nancy Dobson who taught
preschool at the center when there was one
on site. She supports keeping the center at
the same site it is now, but making it two
stories and having underground parking by
the tennis courts.
Theres less impact on the trees by not
moving the whole building, she said.
Dobson noted having a preschool at the
center makes it easier for neighbors who
dont want to have to drive their children
across town to preschool at Village Park
Preschool.
Pictorial kiosks with information and sur-
veys were provided at events throughout the
summer and at the Fresh Market this fall.
Future opportunities for community input
will be available at an upcoming Planning
Commission meeting, a Fresh Market and a
City Council meeting. Other possible meet-
ing locations are being discussed.

and snowboarding courses. It currently
sponsors the U.S. Ski and Snowboard
Association and champion snowboarder
Shaun White.
And now GoPro is preparing to enter the
high-profile area of public companies.
Earlier this month, it announced plans for
an initial public offering of common stock.
The companys cameras, which sell for
between $200 and $400, are small, light,
water resistant and extremely durable. The
highest-end GoPro model shoots video in
ultra-high-denition, or 4K. With a variety
of related accessories such as helmet attach-
ments, bike mounts and harnesses, the cam-
eras can be mounted to everything from a
bike helmet to the side of a half pipe.
Those attributes make GoPro a favorite of
extreme athletes. The company was founded
more than a decade ago by avid surfer and
CEO Nicholas Woodman. The cameras most
popular use: the ultimate sele, a one-of-a-
kind rst-person point of view, even if the
person starring in the video happens to be
hang-gliding off a cliff or parachuting from
a giant helium balloon.
During this years Super Bowl, the com-
pany aired a commercial featuring footage
shot with a GoPro in 2012 as supersonic
Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner para-
chuted from 24 miles up and became the rst
human being to break the sound barrier with
only his body.
Through its sponsorships, GoPro gets
one-of-a-kind content. Its YouTube channel
has about 1.7 million subscribers and fea-
tures hundreds of eye-popping videos star-
ring everyday users and famous people like
GoPro-sponsored surfing legend Kelly
Slater.
Citing legal restrictions related to the
IPO, company ofcials declined to comment
for this story.
One challenge for GoPro as a public com-
pany will be to broaden the appeal of its
cameras. Extreme sports athletes and
people who think they are are GoPros
main consumers at the moment.
There is potential, however, to attract
more consumers given the current consumer
craze surrounding wearable technologies,
says Whitney Fishman, senior director of
innovation and consumer technology at
media agency MEC.
Its also possible, Fishman believes, that
the cameras could nd commercial use in
elds such as medicine.
Is everybody going to run out and buy
one? Probably not, but it denitely has
value outside of the amateur athlete circuit,
Fishman says. The Olympics and all the
crazy footage really helps.

W
hen Facebooks Chief Operating
Ofcer, Sheryl Sandberg,
released her best-selling book,
Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to
Lead, a year ago, I was offended and upset.
In a nutshell, Lean In is a book meant
to empower women and
start a larger conversa-
tion about gender in the
workforce and home.
Like the title suggests,
its a book encouraging
women of all genera-
tions to seek leadership
positions and reach their
full potential, even if
that means missing out on some experi-
ences with their families. In all, it is a
respectable book written by an expert who
has succeeded professionally while also
making some of lifes more difcult deci-
sions regarding family.
I was vaguely familiar with Sandbergs
background, but had never actually read the
book, which led me to misinterpret its
message for almost a whole year. While
critics and womens rights advocates were
hyping it as the motivation many women
need to take control of their lives and
careers, I saw it as an attack on my
lifestyle.
Like Sandberg, my mom has a masters in
business administration and was often the
only woman in her workplace. However,
unlike Sandberg, my mom left her career
after I was born in 1996 and has since dedi-
cated her time to our family and our commu-
nity.
Reecting on the last 17 years, I can say
with certainty that my moms decision
greatly beneted my childhood and helped
dene the person I am today. Even though
she was over-qualied to coach my middle
school tennis team, help me with my book
reports or assist me in studying for
spelling tests, my mom chose to do so
because it mattered to her.
And I realized after reading Lean In that
Sandberg is not decrying stay-at-home
moms. She is not labeling women who
choose to raise their children full time as
ungrateful for the generations who fought
for gender equality. Instead, she is advocat-
ing for men and women to reconsider gen-

For a documentary subject as forceful as
Elaine Stritch, lmmakers may need to turn
to nature a typhoon might do it to nd
anything approximate. Even the camera
must warily keep its distance in Elaine
Stritch: Shoot Me. She warns its operator
when he gets too close: I dont know
whether this is a skin commercial, or what.
Stritch captivates just walking down the
street: greeting fans, chastising cabs,
swaying to the music of the sidewalk. I
wish I could f---ing drive, she says at the
opening of the documentary. Then Id real-
ly be a menace.
The strong types usually seen in movies
caped men with powers, action heroes
with six-packs have nothing on this
long-legged, 89-year-old New York broad.
Stritch, who has long eschewed pants of
any sort, has the kind of ferocious voice
that old age cant quiet.

3 Days
lacks any
real punch
By Geoff Berkshire
LOS ANGELES Even
international spies have trou-
ble balancing work and fami-
ly life, according to 3 Days
to Kill, the latest lightweight
action pic from writer-pro-
ducer Luc Besson, here form-
ing an unlikely (or perhaps
unholy) trinity with director
McG and star Kevin Costner.
Surely the goal of the result-
ing tonal mishmash was to
reignite Costners career a la
what happened for Liam
Neeson after Bessons
Taken, but any possibility
of sleeper-hit status has been
fatally compromised by
watered-down fight scenes
and misguided family man
dramatics.
The setup plays as if some-
one (presumably Besson,
who is credited with the story
and co-wrote the script)
decided to graft the central
father-daughter relationship
from The Descendants
onto a Eurotrashy action
framework. Superstar CIA
field agent Ethan Renner
(Costner) spends so much
time on the job that hes com-
pletely missed watching his
daughter, Zooey (Hailee
Steinfeld), blossom into a
sophisticated teenager.
After hes diagnosed with a
fatal illness, Ethan retires and
resolves to spend more time
with his family in Paris,
offering to watch Zooey for a
weekend while his estranged
wife, Christine (Connie
Nielsen), is away. But retire-
ment isnt so easy for a man
of Ethans skills, and hes
promptly recruited by the
mysterious Vivi (Amber
Heard), who needs his help in
the hunt for a terrorist mas-
termind in exchange for
experimental drugs that
could give Ethan a second
lease on life.
The conflict between the
nesse Ethan demonstrates in
his professional duties and
the complete incompetence
with which he approaches
parenting is meant to be
comedic, although the lm
doesnt have the light touch
of similar spy-family action-
laffers like Mr. and Mrs.
Smith, True Lies or
McGs own This Means
War.
Instead, 3 Days to Kill
proves surprisingly po-faced
about trying to build the bond
between Ethan and Zooey,
even in the midst of moments
as goofy as Dad consoling
his daughter on a bad hair
day, teaching her to dance or
buying her a purple bicycle
just because that was her
favorite color as a kid. The
sentimental approach almost
works, thanks to the best
efforts of Costner and the
naturally spunky Steinfeld,
who may have made a

respectable pair given better material to work with.
As it is, the lukewarm family dynamics sit awkwardly
alongside equally underwhelming action sequences. Recent
supporting turns in Man of Steel and Jack Ryan: Shadow
Recruit aside, Costner isnt generally associated with the
action genre hes more of a Waterworld-Robin Hood:
Prince of Thieves epic-adventure guy and the rote hero-
ics he undertakes here wont do much to change that.
On multiple occasions, the audience simply witnesses the
aftermath of Ethans handiwork as repped by bodies lying
motionless on the oor. The notable exceptions arrive in a
brief but slickly executed one-on-one skirmish in a grocery
stores deli section (complete with resourceful use of the
meat grinder and panini press) and a bracingly staged car
chase in the middle of a Parisian neighborhood inspired by
Claude Lelouchs Rendezvous and John Frankenheimers
Ronin.
That chase makes a lovely pairing with McGs other
standout sequence: a montage of Ethan riding the bike he
bought for Zooey through the city streets and parking near
the Eiffel Tower. Its a sweet divertissement for the typical-
ly boisterous director, who overall reins in the bombastic
giddiness of his Charlies Angels pictures and abandons
the soulless spectacle of Terminator: Salvation to make
an action lm thats downright restrained by his standards.
Unfortunately, in this case the restraint reads as overly
safe. 3 Days to Kill is quite literally bloodless the ght
sequences in Taken packed a far more potent punch even
with the same PG-13 rating which seems like a missed
opportunity. The juxtaposition of Ethans violent work and
gentler paternal side might have added some desperately
needed intrigue to the banal story.
3 Days to Kill, a Relativity release, is rated PG-13 by
the Motion Picture Association of America for for intense
sequences of violence and action, some sensuality and lan-
guage. Running time: 113 minutes.
3 DAYS
By Jocelyn Noveck
They say beauty is in the eye of the
beholder, but few could justifiably
question the beauty of a Hayao
Miyazaki lm. Arevered master of ani-
mation, the Oscar-winning
director/writer makes something as
simple as a hazy sky so ravishing, it
can take your breath away.
Miyazakis latest lm, The Wind
Rises, nominated for the animated
feature Oscar, happens to take that
concept of the subjectivity of beauty
and address it in a way thats touching,
troubling, and above all, totally
unique. If this is indeed Miyazakis
swan song hes announced his
retirement, but not everyone believes
it then its a worthy one, if perhaps
not his most satisfying work, and cer-
tainly not his simplest.
What IS beauty? Jiro, whom we rst
meet as a country boy in Japan, nds
beauty in the design of an airplane. He
yearns to be a pilot, but is nearsighted.
In a dream, he encounters the famous
Italian aeronautical engineer Giovanni
Caproni, who tells him not to worry
its even better to build planes than to
y them.
Caproni is not a ctional character
and neither is Jiro. The lm is based
on Jiro Horikoshi, the engineer who
designed the Zero ghter plane used in
the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in
World War II. Thats where the lm gets
complicated. Some have asked why
Miyazaki would focus on a man
whose creation was ultimately used
to kill so many.
One could also see
the lm as a pacist
statement show-
ing how a thing of
beauty was turned
into a killing
machine. But
Miyazaki has said
he didnt mean to be
political, wanting
simply to portray
the story of someone who pursued his
huge dream with talent and drive.
The lm, produced by Miyazakis
acclaimed Studio Ghibli, presents Jiro
(voiced by Joseph Gordon-Levitt in
the English-language version, leading
an all-star cast) as a gentle soul.
Heading to Tokyo to begin studies in
engineering, he encounters a pretty
girl on the train. She shares his knowl-
edge of a French poem, and the line:
The wind is rising, we must try to
live.
They forge a connection, and then
their train is caught up in a catastrophe
the Great Kanto Earthquake that
rocked Japan in 1923. (Miyazaki is at
his very best in depicting this natural
devastation.) Jiro helps the girl make
it home.
After university, Jiro is hired by
Mitsubishi to design planes (his boss-
es are voiced by Martin Short and
Mandy Patinkin, and even Ronan
Farrow has a small role as an employ-
ee.) He and his friend, Honjo (John
Krasinski) travel to Germany to study
what engineers are doing there. The
two have long talks about the state of
their country. Here, the lms pacing
sags somewhat.
Back in Japan, at a hotel in the
mountains, Jiro again encounters the
girl he met on the train. (This entire
relationship is ctional). The two fall
in love; the scenes of Jiro wooing
Nahoko (Emily Blunt) by sending a
paper plane to her balcony inject a
welcome dose of charm and whimsy. Of
course, the depiction of nature is
exquisite bright blue skies, purple
haze, and green elds that resemble an
Impressionist painting.
Nahoko, though, is suffering from
tuberculosis, and their love story will
be a sad one. Also sad, and clearly an
important part of the story, is how
Jiros passion for his work will take
him away from his doomed lover for
many hours, even when she most
needs him. (One oddity: theres a lot of
smoking here, and its particularly jar-
ring when Jiro smokes in a bedroom
with the very ill Nahoko.)
The ending doesnt shy away from
the results of Jiros passionate design
efforts. Not a single one returned, he
says in a mournful dream sequence at
the end to Caproni (Stanley Tucci.)
All he wanted, Jiro ruminates in this
lm, was to create something beauti-
ful. Which is, at least, a feat that direc-
tor Miyazaki has achieved. Once
again.
The Wind Rises, a Walt Disney
Studios release, is rated PG-13 by the
Motion Picture Association of America
for some disturbing images and
smoking. Running time: 126 min-
utes. Three stars out of four.

CONSERVATORY THEATER
VISITS A COUNTRY AT WAR
AND A FAMILY IN CRISIS.
In Naples during World War II, an
enterprising woman sets up a
small-time black market busi-
ness in her home to keep her
family afloat. She prospers, but
maybe a bit too much com-
pelling her husband to ask hard
questions about morality, civili-
ty and the state of their society.
Two hours with a 15-minute
intermission. Directed by Mark
Rucker. Through March 9.
AN ASIDE: A.C.T. Artistic
Director Carey Perloff said: A
play filled with the rich bitter-
sweet comedy of postwar Italy,
Napoli! introduces a gallery of
indelible characters each trying
to find a way to survive a ravaged
economy and fulfill their dreams.
As we contemplate the issue of
income inequality in contempo-
rary America, it is fascinating to
watch what lengths a family will
go to to make a living, even if it
means profiteering off ones
neighbors and selling illegal
goods.
TICKETS: Tickets, starting at

OH, AND DID YOU KNOW?
The Jovine family at the center
of Napoli! earns money by serv-
ing coffee made with illegally

Naples is known worldwide for
Neapolitan coffee made with the
historical Neapolitan flip coffee
pot, which then led to the cre-
ation of the espresso coffee
machine and Moka Express cof-
fee pot. There are still some lit-
tle industries roasting coffee
beans and producing ground cof-
fee to be used with Neapolitan
coffee machines.

JULIA JACKSONS SOLO
SHOW TELLS A FAMILY
TALE. The small-scale Stage
Werx Theatre (fewer than 100
seats) is perfect for comedienne
and solo artist Julia Jacksons
deeply personal autobiographi-
cal work, Children Are Forever.
(All Sales Are Final!). Speaking
directly to the audience, and deft-
ly morphing into a half-dozen
characters, Jackson begins her
narrative with a startling admis-
sion about how she once went
about buying a baby. Okay, as
she explains, she was adopting,
but the agency sure made her feel
like she was buying a baby. Did
you know some kids are dis-
counted? Ablack baby which
is what Jackson and her wife
sought costs half of a white
baby. The one saving grace was
that the waiting time for adopt-
ing a black child was six months
instead of the two years it takes
for a white baby. But five days
after signing the contract at the
adoption agency, a birth mother,
in labor, chose them to raise her
baby. What happened next, and
what had happened to bring them
all to that point, makes for an
engrossing evening. Two hours
with a 15-minute intermission. 8

WEEKEND JOURNAL
22
Me is an irresistibly entertaining
documentary that captures Stritch dur-
ing what she unsentimentally calls
almost post-time. After seven
decades performing in New York on
Broadway, in countless cabaret nights
at the Cafe Carlyle Stritchs enor-
mous energy has been knocked by the
increasing years, diabetes, and surger-
ies on her hip and eyes.
But Shoot Me, made over the last
few years, is a document not of
Stritchs dwindling, but of her feisty
persistence. As the lm shows, she has
trouble remembering lyrics and some-
times struggles to get out of bed. At
home and during rehearsals, it chroni-
cles her grand exit from New York, her
home since she was 17, and her deci-
sion to retire back to Michigan.
Stritch is a paragon of old-fashioned
show business: Abrassy and blunt sur-
vivor of New York theater life. More
than a decade ago, the New York
Landmarks Conservancy named her a
living landmark.
I like the courage of age, she
declares.
Karasawa shoots Stritch in intimate,
unglamorous situations, most notably
one night in a hospital bed with curlers
in her hair, chastened by a health
scare: Its time for me, she says. I
can feel it everywhere.
Atheatrical being down to her soul,
Stritch is often a fascinating compan-
ion, throwing off such candid reec-
tions, joining an elevator operator in
song, or miming a limp to avoid a
parking ticket in the Hamptons. But
she is also, unquestionably, a handful.
Her needs are many, which her musi-
cal director Rob Bowman patiently
tries to meet. She repeatedly criticizes
the documentarys very own camera-
man, ordering him to more aggressive-
ly shoot her unpacking a box of her
cherished English mufns.
The question of how taxing it is to
work with Stritch is unavoidable. D.A.
Pennebakers 1970 documentary on
the cast recording of Company
showed her sparring with Stephen
Sondheim. In Shoot Me, we glimpse
a letter from Woody Allen before they
shot the lm September, warning
her of overly dramatic behavior and
requesting that she keep the question-
ing to a rock-bottom minimum. Tina
Fey, who cast Stritch in a recurring
role on her sitcom 30 Rock, says:
Its a bear. And its always worth it.
Stritch is worth it not just because of
her talent, but for her inspiring perse-
verance. Shes a born entertainer, and a
spirited remnant of a disappeared New
York. She sings from Follies:
Good times and bum times, Ive
seen them all/ And, my dear, Im still
here.

Sundance Selects release, is not rated

America. Contains expletives.

der stereotypes and dene their roles
on their own terms.
While it would be impossible to
summarize her well thought-out book
in a single column, Lean In also
left me pondering two large ideas that
apply to men and women alike.
The rst idea Sandberg promotes in
Lean In is the importance of
respecting the decisions of others.
While my mom and Sandberg may
have made different choices regarding
their roles in their families, it does
not mean that one was right while the
other was wrong. And that extends
beyond the debate of women staying
at home. Every person has a different
life situation with varying factors
that affects how he or she makes deci-
sions. If choosing to do one thing
works best for the individual and his
or her family, it should not matter
what others have to say.
The other main idea Sandberg dis-
cusses is condence. Looking at her
poised smile on the cover of Lean
In and glancing at her resume (she
worked at McKinsey & Company, the
U.S. Treasury Department and Google
prior to her current role at Facebook),
I would never have expected that con-
dence was something Sandberg was
lacking. Yet, after reading her
poignant anecdotes from high
school, college and work, I found
Sandberg to be much more relatable
than I could have predicted. While she
has faced her share of struggles to
speak up and express her views, she
shares advice that it can never hurt to
hear: you cannot stand in your own
way. As I am looking forward to start-
ing college in the near future and
entering the workforce after that, few
pieces of advice could be more valu-
able. Reading Lean In didnt make
me more condent or give me the
secret to success, but it did give me
the motivation to empower myself.
While the cover of Lean In touts
the book as being about women, it
really does convey important mes-
sages for everyone. We cant all be
the COO of Facebook, but we all can
take up the conversation about equali-
ty and condence.

The causes of the two res at 699
Seaport Blvd. are still under investiga-
tion but Redwood City police recently
called the second suspicious and
asked the public for help determining
if it was deliberately set. The two-
alarm Dec. 17 re, about ve weeks
after the rst, was reported about 1
a.m. by an on-duty employee who
heard a loud explosion followed by the
ignition of a metal stockpile which
police later said contained nothing
that would self combust.
Mayor Jeff Gee said that the possi-
bility of arson being behind the sec-
ond re doesnt deter the city from
increasing safety at the facility.
We feel they have a responsibility
to manage their operations in a safer,
more secure manner and do a better job
of preventing res both accidental and
suspicious, Gee said in a prepared
statement.
Safety recommendations
The recommendations issued in a
Feb. 20 letter to Sims include high-
definition cameras located around
debris piles and approaches to the
piles, a better perimeter security sys-
tem, locked games at all times, motion
sensors, a minimum of two security
guards with special machinery train-
ing, better lighting around debris piles
and a key card system or similar con-
trol to track who comes in and out of
the facility.
Sims president is hoping to set up a
meeting with City Manager Bob Bell
and other city ofcials next week and
in the interim will continue to operate
as it has the last 60 days, Rodby said.
Bell is optimistic about Sims par-
ticipation going forward.
We believe Sims will nd that it is
in their best interest to implement all
measures that the city has identied as
increasing re safety for this facility,
and the good of our community and
broader region, Bell said in a prepared
statement.
The earlier safety measures imposed
in December include allowing unan-
nounced inspections, pushing up
delivery times to avoid stockpiles of
unprocessed scrap metal and ensuring
three qualied operators are present 24
hours a day, seven days a week. At the
time of the after-hours re, Sims had
only a security guard at the facility
because it was not operating. The com-
pany is to halt operations if stafng
levels fall short.
The citys letter requests the shred-
ding to the ground practice continue
and that Sims hire a re safety and
operational consultant for recommen-
dations on re prevention and industry
best practices.
Sims has complied with all the man-
dates and recently held a community
meeting to answer public concerns.
Separately, Redwood City has ongo-
ing discussions with investigating
governmental agencies like the
Environmental Protection Agency,
California Department of Toxic
Substances Control and Bay Area Air
Quality Management District.
State legislation
As Redwood City works to keep its
community secure from future res like
those at Sims, Hill is tackling safety
through state regulation. His bill pro-
poses elimination exemptions from
hazardous waste handling and disposal
laws for facilities that handle vehicle
shredder waste. Hill also proposes the
Department of Toxic Substances
Control develop regulations regarding
treatment, transport and disposal to
avoid contamination, explosion or
other potential hazards.
This bill allows Californias toxics
regulators to do their job and protect
public health, Hill said in a prepared
statement. We shouldnt be exempt-
ing waste from regulation if it con-
tains known carcinogens.
The 1988 variance for auto waste
recyclers was based on the argument
that treated waste does not release con-
taminants into the environment but in
2002 DTSC found it exceeded state
thresholds for lead, zinc and cadmium,
according to Hills ofce.
Approximately 700,00 tons of this
waste, also known as uff, end up in
state landlls annually.
Specific to the Peninsula, Hills
ofce said that in 2011 the EPAdiscov-
ered PCBs, mercury, lead, copper and
zinc in Redwood Creek and around the
Sims plant. PCB levels were 10,000
times greater than expected while lead
and copper were 10 to 15 times higher
than acceptable, according to Hills
data.
The bill also notes that Sims was
cited by the Bay Area Air Quality
Management District after a 2007 re
and was accused by the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service in 2011 of allowing
brous automobile shredder residue to
blow downwind into wetlands around
Bair Island.
Further investigation found no link
between the material and Sims, Rodby
said.
She also said many of Hills other
contentions about Sims are inaccurate.
The company is unaware of any sam-
pling by the EPA in Redwood Creek
and Bay in 2011 or directly related to
the operator and the PCB level claim
based on a prior erroneous report that
listed parts per million rather than
parts per billion, Rodby said.
She said Sims supports an ongoing
study by DTSC of the waste treatment
process and development of consistent
statewide standards for shredder
residue.
AHill spokesman said they stand by
the information the ofce released.

while patrolling in the area of El
Camino Real and Taylor Boulevard.
Harper followed the black Acura 2.4 TL
northbound and eventually onto dead-
end Poplar Avenue while waiting for
confirmation it was stolen. Harper
stopped his car behind the Acura,
between two parked cars on each side
of the narrow street, and approached
the vehicle demanding the two men
inside show their hands. Tialavea com-
plied but Solanga revved the engine,
U-turned, backed onto a residential
lawn and accelerated toward Harper
who red 14 times. The Acura reversed
into the Poplar Avenue homes porch.
Backup ofcers arrested Tialavea and
found Salonga presumably dead at the
scene.
An autopsy later showed Salonga
had methamphetamine and ampheta-
mine in his system.
During the investigation, Tialavea
told authorities he ran into Salonga
that night and had been driving around
for several hours in the car which he
assumed to be stolen because that was
Salongas hustle. Tialavea also said
the men knew the ofcer was follow-
ing them and heard his commands to
turn off the car and put up their hands.
Witness corroborated Harpers state-
ment that Salonga failed to obey his
orders and purposely drove the Acura
toward the ofcer, Wagstaffe wrote in
the letter to Telford.
Prior to the fatal encounter,
Wagstaffe said that Salonga has previ-
ously driven recklessly and endangered
police ofcers multiple times while
trying to evade apprehension for driv-
ing stolen vehicles. The assumption is
he would have done the same to Harper,
according to Wagstaffe.
Salongas death was San Mateo
Countys only ofcer-involved fatali-
ty of 2013.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You will be given
extra assignments. Rather than get upset, make
the commitment to do the best job possible,
and keep your complaints to yourself. Your
professionalism will pay of f.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your generous nature
is upsetting your budget. You cannot buy love, so
stop paying for everything and everyone. Chances
are someone has ulterior motives and is taking
advantage of you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Someone you deal with
is not living up to a promise. An angry confrontation
will only make matters worse. Do your best to nd a
diplomatic way of resolving the situation.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Your mind is brimming
with innovative ideas. Share your plans with close
friends. You will accomplish a lot if everyone directs
his or her energies to the same goal.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Keep your cash in
your pocket. Dont let others involve you in unfamiliar
causes. There are lots of unscrupulous people trying
to convince you to part with your money.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) You will meet
with people who have different beliefs and values.
Respect their opinions, and dont try to change their
views. An open mind will also help you gain freedom.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Consider and
reflect upon a personal situation. Someone with
whom you have dealings may feel you have been
too demanding. You need to decide whether to back
away or repair the damage.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Your intuitive
and thoughtful nature will result in an interesting
and rewarding friendship. While this is a positive
development, dont divulge too much private
information too quickly.

Declaration (SCH#2012092007) and Conditional Use Permit
on December 6, 2012, with appropriate mitigation measures
for potential project impacts.
This meeting will be conducted on Tuesday March 4th, 2014,
at 6:00 PM, in the Meeting Room (2nd floor) of the Blue
Line Material Recovery Facility and Transfer Station locat-
ed at 500 East Jamie Court, South San Francisco, 94080.

corded for proper translation and consideration.

WORLD 31
By Angela Charlson
and Jim Heintz
KIEV, Ukraine Under heavy
pressure from the West following a
deadly day of clashes and sniper
re in the capital, President Viktor
Yanukovych and opposition lead-
ers struck a deal Friday aimed at
bringing Ukraines three-month
political crisis to an end. But radi-
cal protesters and some pro-
Russian factions rejected it, leav-
ing lingering doubts over whether
peace could be restored.
On a day of electrifying develop-
ments, the Ukrainian parliament
also opened a path for Yulia
Tymoshenko Yanukovychs
political nemesis to be let out
of prison.
In spite of what looked like a
significant government retreat,
protesters booed opposition g-
ures who took to a stage Friday
evening to present the deal, which
cuts Yanukovychs powers and
calls for early elections but falls
short of demands for his immedi-
ate resignation.
Death to the criminal! some
chanted, referring to Yanukovych.
Resign! Resign! Resign!
shouted others as one radical
speaker threatened to go on an
armed offensive if the opposition
doesnt demand the presidents res-
ignation by Saturday morning.
Addressing the crowd in Kievs
Independence Square, opposition
leader Vitali Klitschko tried to per-
suade them that Yanukovych had
likely given all he was willing to
give.
Hes not going to resign. This
isnt realistic. We have to think
about realistic steps, Klitschko
said.
The agreement signed Friday
calls for presidential elections to
be moved up from March 2015 to
no later than December, but many
protesters said that is far too late.
And it does not address the issue
that set off the protests in
November Yanukovychs aban-
donment of closer ties with the
European Union in favor of a
bailout deal with longtime ruler
Russia.
The standoff between the gov-
ernment and protesters escalated
this week, as demonstrators
clashed with police and snipers
opened re in the worst violence
the country has seen since the
breakup of the Soviet Union a
quarter-century ago. The Health
Ministry put the death toll at 77
and some opposition gures said
its even higher.
The U.S., Russia and the 28-
nation EU are deeply concerned
about the future of Ukraine, a
divided nation of 46 million. The
countrys western regions want to
be closer to the EU and have reject-
ed Yanukovychs authority in
many cities, while eastern Ukraine
favors closer ties with Russia.
Ukraine agreement meets resistance
REUTERS
People attend the funeral of an anti-government protester who was killed
during Thursdays clashes with riot police, in Kiev, Ukraine.
EARLY ELECTIONS
The agreement envisions early
presidential elections, but says they
can wait until December.Thats a sore
point with many of the demonstrators
who have occupied central Kiev;one of
their aims was the immediate
resignation of Yanukovych. The
countrys next presidential election
was scheduled to be held in March
2015, so even if Yanukovych is
defeated in early elections, he could
serve all but three months of his term.
CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM
After becoming president in 2010,
Yanukovych pushed through a
measure to abandon 2004
constitutional changes that reduced
the power of the president. The
agreement called for parliament to
reverse that move, which is seen by
many as having questionable legality,
and parliament did so hours later.
Among the powers the president lost
are the right to nominate the prime
minister and re the Cabinet.
CLEAR THE CAMP
The agreement calls for serious
efforts to get life back to normal,
including the withdrawal of protesters
from streets and squares. Effectively,
thats an order for the massive
encampment in Kievs Independence
Square to pack up. No deadline for
leaving has been set and many
protesters are likely to move out slowly
because of the solidarity the camp
fostered and doubts over whether the
agreement will actually be
implemented. In the 2004 Orange
Revolution protests, which paved the
way for Viktor Yushchenko to become
president,some demonstrators stayed
in their camp until his inauguration.
INVESTIGATE BLOODSHED
Even before this weeks bloodshed,
which saw demonstrators shot by
snipers, the police were facing sharp
criticism for their heavy-handed
approach. Police in turn faced peril
from protesters throwing stones,bricks
and rebombs. As a result, the
investigation into the violence that the
agreement calls for is likely to be one
of the most contentious issues in the
days and weeks ahead.The envisioned
investigation is to be done jointly by
representatives from the authorities,
the opposition and the Council of
Europe,the continents leading human
rights body.
STATE OF EMERGENCY
Throughout the past few months,
concerns were high that the
government would declare a state of
emergency to give police more
powers to deal with the
demonstrators. The agreement
stipulates that no state of emergency
will be imposed, but doesnt state a
period for which that ban would be in
effect.
THE ORIGINAL ISSUE
The agreement does not address the
grievance that set off the protests in
the rst place: Yanukovychs shelving
of an agreement to deepen ties with
the European Union and his decision
to turn toward Russia for nancial
assistance instead. The avid desire of
many Ukrainians to step out of Russias
long shadow and become more
integrated with the West remains a
serious, unresolved issue for Ukraine.
Many hurdles ahead
