Yee vows to push gun bill despite threat
By Dan McMenamin
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
State Sen. Leland Yee said a death
threat against him that led to the arrest of
a Santa Clara County man will not deter
him from moving forward with gun con-
trol proposals in the Legislature.
At a news conference at the State
Building in San Francisco Thursday
morning, Yee, D-San Francisco/San
Mateo, said the incident only further
demonstrates the need to address this
particular problem.
Yee joined other state senators last
week to propose a package of bills aimed
at reducing gun violence in California.
A bill introduced by Yee would require
assault weapons to have a 10-round limit
and to only have xed magazines that
must be reloaded
one-by-one from the
top of the weapon.
The California
Highway Patrol gave
more information
about Everett
Basham, 45, the man
arrested Tuesday on
suspicion of making
the threat against Yee.
Yee received the threat by email about
four weeks ago, and investigators eventu-
ally tracked it to Basham and served a
search warrant at his home in Santa Clara
on Tuesday, according to Scott
MacGregor, chief of the CHPs
Protective Services Division.
Sen.Leland Yee,D-San Francisco/San Mateo has no intention
of dropping or altering the bill he introduced related to guns
after he received an email four weeks ago from someone
claiming to be a sniper and vowing to assassinate him.

Man accused of biting
off ear lobe pleads not guilty
STAMFORD, Conn. A Connecticut
man accused of biting off his cousins ear
lobe and swallowing it during a ght
over loud music has pleaded not guilty to
assault and other charges.
Twenty-seven-year-old Emilio
Mendoza, of Stamford, was arraigned
Wednesday in Stamford Superior Court
and ordered held on $50,000 bail.
The Advocate of Stamford reports that
Mendozas cousin and roommate, 31-
year-old Clemente Perez-Ruiz, also
pleaded not guilty Wednesday to assault
and disorderly conduct charges connect-
ed to the brawl. A good portion of his left
ear was missing.
Stamford police say the two men were
intoxicated and started fighting after
Perez-Ruiz asked Mendoza to turn down
the music. Police say Mendoza admitted
swallowing the ear lobe.
Dallas chocolatier pumps
out chocolate high heels
DALLAS Florists and chocolate-

the run-up to Valentines Day.
In Dallas, chocolatier Andrea Pedraza,
who loves designer high heels, molded
her pedestrian passion into chocolate
form. Her most well-known creations are
chocolate pumps done in the style of
Christian Louboutin shoes.
Prices for the pumps range from $30 to
$55, but more if you ll the heel with
more chocolates.
Pedraza says men buy the chocolate
pumps the most, so she keeps extras on
hand for last-minute shoppers.

New York City police said Thursday
they had been called to Courics
Manhattan home several times recently
because of 911 calls traced to a phone

The calls come on Tuesdays at 2 a.m.,
as Couric told an audience at her talk

Police say they are investigating
whether somethings wrong with her
phone or if Couric is the victim of a high-
tech prankster. Couric called New York
City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly to
ask advice on what to do, and is awaiting
the results of the investigation.

The San Carlos City Council isnt wasting
much time in taking back up controversial
plans to build luxury housing and retail
around its existing Caltrain station.
Following the councils split certication of
the projects environmental impact report, the
Planning Commission next will make recom-
mendations on the plans actual merits. First,
though, Councilman Mark Olbert suggested
giving the other body some direction.
Although the City Council at Monday nights
meeting ultimately agreed to a joint session
with the Planning Commission or a stand-alone
discussion amongst itself, some members
werent immediately sold on the idea.
When I was on the Planning Commission,
I never had anybody from the City Council
tell me what I should or shouldnt do, said
Councilman Bob Grassilli, adding his opinion
that is why the two bodies are independent.
Councilwoman Karen Clapper, who sat on
the commission prior to being appointed to
the council last year, also wondered if the
council wasnt getting ahead of itself without
a specic plan for evaluation and comment.
Clapper said it might be premature to do
any kind of study session until we see what
the developer is going to come back with.
But Mayor Matt Grocott felt giving the
Planning Commission a heads-up on what the
council nds important opens up those ideas
to them but doesnt exclude the members
from reaching their own conclusions.
Specically, the council will focus on 13
improvement measures suggested by the
Planning Commission when it last November
recommended the City Council certify the
EIR. The measures, which the council can
ignore, adopt or add to, are meant to mitigate
the possible impacts and address issues that
possibly werent labeled as signicant in the
EIR. The measures include having the devel-
oper prepare a landscape design plan for the
vacant railroad corridor property, contribute
funding toward a residential parking permit
program and more thoroughly study noise
before and after construction.
The proposal by Foster City-based develop-
er Legacy Partners calls for converting a
10.53-acre strip of land within the existing
Caltrain station and running parallel to the
railroad corridor. The project envisions eight
four-story buildings with 281 housing units
among a mix of 407,298 square feet of resi-
dential, 23,797 square feet of ofces and
14,326 square feet of retail space. The project
would also include 667 parking spaces and a
new SamTrans Transit Center on 4.29 acres.
The Planning Commission met four times
before unanimously although not without
concern voting to recommend that the City
Council certify the EIR. The City Council met
three times before voting 3-2 with Grocott and
Olbert dissenting in favor of nding the envi-
ronmental review satisfactory.
At Mondays meeting, City Manager Jeff
Maltbie said he will try arranging a stand-
alone joint meeting between the City Council
and Planning Commission by March but, if
scheduling is prohibitive, the council can
place a discussion on an upcoming agenda.
The city is also hoping for a separate site
visit and walking tour of the area earmarked
for the Transit Village, said Assistant City
Manager Brian Moura.
The weekend visit, possibly in March or
April, would include the Planning
Commission, City Council, city staff, the
developer, SamTrans and the public, accord-
ing to Moura.
The visit would be followed by a later
evening meeting to discuss the measures.
Public testimony would be accepted at the
meeting.
Thief suspect pleads not guilty
to swiping candy, hiding meth
The 29-year-old man discovered with
methamphetamine hidden in his rectum while
being booked into the county jail on suspicion
of ashing a fake gun to swipe candy from a
South San Francisco 7-Eleven pleaded not
guilty to second-degree robbery and drug
charges.
Michael Daniel Aragon, of Daly City, is also
charged with altering an imitation rearm to
resemble a real weapon. After entering his
plea, Aragon waived his right to a speedy trial
and was scheduled for a one-hour preliminary
hearing March 19.
Authorities say Aragon entered the conven-
ience store on El Camino Real at 3:30 a.m.
Feb. 2 and bought some taquitos before leav-
ing. A few minutes later, he reportedly came
back and hid two pieces of candy in his pants
before trying to leave without paying. When
the clerk confronted Aragon, police say he
pulled up his shirt to show a weapon that
turned out to be a BB handgun and said he had
no money.
A second clerk called police but, before they
arrived, Aragon purchased some more taquitos
before leaving in his car. South San Francisco
police found Aragon in a nearby car with the
replica gun in the truck and the purloined
candy in his possession.
During Aragons booking into the Maguire
Correctional Facility in Redwood City, jail
authorities reported nding a bag of metham-
phetamine concealed in his rectum.
Aragon remains in custody on $500,000 bail.

The Department of Motor Vehicles is credit-
ing workers in the Daly City ofce with nab-
bing the leader of a criminal crew that alleged-
ly defrauded the agency of more than $50,000
by submitting stolen checks on behalf of
motorists looking for cheaper ways to x regis-
tration issues.
Donald Christopher Lee, 52, of San
Francisco, had been wanted on a $250,000 war-
rant for roughly 14 months before being arrest-
ed Feb. 6 and charged with 36 felonies, includ-
ing 12 counts each of commercial burglary, for-
gery and identity theft.
Lee is accused of leading the Crew of 7, a
group that solicited individuals with problemat-
ic registration problems like past due fees and
parking tickets. Lee and the others allegedly
offered to help get vehicles registered for half
the actual cost but would later give DMV a
stolen personal check for the full amount. The
check would be returned as issued against a
closed account and Lees crew would pocket
the fees paid by the victims. DMV would stop
the registration when the check was dishonored,
leaving the owners back at square one.
The scheme was carried out at several Bay
Area eld ofces but Daly City employees led
to the arrest of Lee and others, according to
DMV.
Beginning in September 2010, those workers
began reporting that a group of seven individu-
als were suspicious because they continuously
submitted registration documents that didnt
belong to them.
We are extremely proud of our eld ofce
staff who took the initiative to bring these crim-
inals to justice, Chief Deputy Director Jean
Shiomoto said in a prepared statement. Let this
be a lesson to anyone who tries to cheat the sys-
tem.
Authorities issued arrest warrants in
December 2011 for Lee, Ronnie Michael Jones,
Ronnie Lee Cook, Crystal Venus Reed, Marvin
James Spencer and Errick Lawrence
Washington. Jones, 43, remains at large on a
$125,000 warrant.
Reed pleaded no contest to two felony counts
of identity theft and was sentenced in April
2012 to 18 months jail followed by 18 months
mandatory supervision. Spencer pleaded no
contest to commercial burglary in August 2012
and was given six months jail and three years
probation. He is accused of violating his proba-
tion and is due back in court today. Washington
pleaded no contest to misdemeanor commercial
burglary in return for 30 days jail and two years
court probation.
Lee remained at large until Feb. 6 when a
DMV employee spotted him trying to register
another vehicle in the Daly City eld ofce.
Lee appeared in court Feb. 7 for initial
arraignment and pleaded not guilty to all
counts. He asked for a court-appointed attorney
and bail was conrmed at $250,000 on which
he remains in custody. He returns to court Feb.
19 for a preliminary hearing.
If convicted, he faces approximately 10 years
in prison, said District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe.
Lee is also charged separately with a misde-
meanor count of providing false identication
to a police ofcer the day of his arrest.

A judge yesterday denied a challenge to can-
didate statements led by three members of the
Coastside Fire Protection District board who
face recall this April.
Board President Doug Mackintosh and
directors Gary Riddell and Mike Alifano led
candidate statements with the San Mateo
County Elections Ofce that were challenged
by coastsider Marshall Ketchum for allegedly
violating state elections law.
Ketchum led a writ of mandate with the
court to have the statements amended or
removed from elections material provided by
the county because the statements did not stick
to background and qualications but rather
centered on issues that mar the district.
Mackintosh, Riddell and Alifano voted last
year to end its relationship with Cal Fire in
favor of re-establishing a new stand-alone re
department. Directors Ginny McShane and
Gary Burke voted against the idea. A signa-
ture-gathering process started soon after on the
coast to have the three directors removed.
Ketchum, who led the signature-gathering
effort, alleged their candidate statements con-
tained information that is false, misleading or
inconsistent with state elections code.
But San Mateo County Superior Court Judge
George Miram denied Ketchums petition.
Ketchum wrote to the Daily Journal in an
email yesterday that he was disappointed in
Mirams decision but will not appeal it.
State law dictates that any candidates state-
ment be limited to a recitation of the candidates
own personal background and qualications.
Mackintosh, Alifano and Riddells statements
all contain material that stray from keeping to just
background and touched on other topics such as
a Cal Fire union effort to force the recall election
and opinions related to Cal Fires service.
Four people have qualied to challenge the
three, including Karen Anderson, who is chal-
lenging Alifano; J.B. Cockrell, who is challeng-
ing MacKintosh; and Lee McKusick and Harvey
Rarback, who are challenging Riddell in the
upcoming special recall election April 9.
Anderson, Cockrell, McKusick and Rarbacks
candidate statements are all similar to the incum-
bents, though, and also stray from their respec-
tive backgrounds and qualications. Their state-
ments were not challenged in court, however.
A stand-alone re department will rely on
unbudgeted overtime and will cost at least $1.4
million per year more than Cal Fire over the next
ve years, recall proponents said.
But Mackintosh, Alifano and Riddell contend
Cal Fire is not responsive to the needs of the
coast and would be better served by having a re
chief who answers directly to the board.
The Coastside Fire Protection District serves
Half Moon Bay, the unincorporated areas of
Half Moon Bay and the unincorporated commu-
nities of Miramar, El Granada, Princeton-by-the-
Sea, Moss Beach and Montara.
Previously, the Half Moon Bay Fire Protection
District and Point Montara Fire Protection
District provided service on the coast but the two
consolidated in 2007 to form the Coastside Fire
Protection District.
Toll agency OKs $5.6M
for Bay Bridge celebration
The Bay Area Toll Authority has agreed to
spend $5.6 million to host a public celebration
of the Labor Day opening of the Bay Bridges
new eastern span.
The contract approved Wednesday would
pay for transportation, sanitation, security and
other costs for the party, when about 125,000
people are expected to walk from Oakland to
San Francisco over the Bay Bridge.
The new eastern span will connect Oakland
to Treasure Island and replace a structure that
was damaged during the 1989 Loma Prieta
earthquake. The contract with Hartmann
Studios of Richmond must be approved by the
Metropolitan Transportation Commission later
this month.
When you invite the public, the price goes
way up, Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates, a mem-
ber of the MTC, told the San Francisco
Chronicle. I think its money well spent.

Two residential
burglaries in Hillsborough
Hillsborough police are currently investi-
gating two residential burglaries that
occurred Thursday.
The first burglary occurred between 9:30
a.m. and 10:45 a.m. on the 6200 block of
Skyline Boulevard. Entry was forced
through the front door, according to police.
The second residential burglary was
reported on the 1000 block of Tournament
Drive. This burglary occurred between 9:10
a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Entry was through an
unlocked window, according to police.
Anyone with any information on these
crimes is asked to call the Hillsborough
Police Department at 375-7470.
Woman arrested
after shopping spree
An Oakland woman was arrested in
Burlingame Monday by San Mateo County
sheriffs deputies for burglary, possessing
credit cards with the intent to defraud and
other charges after a woman reported her
wallet stolen at the Urbanization store at
1179 San Carlos Ave. in San Carlos, accord-
ing to the Sheriffs Office.
Deputies from the San Carlos Patrol
Bureau responded to the business and
obtained a physical description of three sus-
pects last seen in the area of the San Carlos
Caltrain station. Deputies searched the train
station and surrounding area but were unable
to locate the suspects. While deputies inter-
viewed the victim, her bank informed her of
unusual purchases taking place at the
Safeway and Walgreens store in Belmont,
according to the Sheriffs Office.
While the Belmont Police Department was
advised, the bank called back and added that
the credit cards were then being used at
StrideRite Shoes, Gymboree, Sephora and
Karas Cupcakes on Burlingame Avenue, in
Burlingame, according to police.
Based on the most recent transaction activ-
ity, the Burlingame Police Department was
advised and Burlingame officers stopped
and detained Ronica Randolph, 36, near the
Burlingame Caltrain station. The credit
cards from the theft in San Carlos were
found on the ground near where Randolph
was located. Sheriffs deputies arrested
Randolph a short time later and booked her
into San Mateo County Jail, according to
police.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A prolic car thief who reportedly
bragged he stole up to nine vehicles a
day and preferred committing crimes
in San Francisco because he was
never prosecuted there was sentenced
to six years in prison.
Dustin James Barnett, 39, said he
was a car thief since the age of 14 and
preferred operating in San Francisco
because nothing happens to him
when he is caught there, according to
San Mateo County prosecutors.
However, Barnett was arrested in
February 2011 after a Daly City
police ofcer pulled over a 2008
Chrysler driven by him and discov-
ered it stolen from San Francisco two
days prior. When the ofcer returned
to the car, Barnett revved the engine
and put the car in gear but the ofcer
grabbed him by the jacket. Barnett
then turned the wheel toward the of-
cer, driving over his foot while ee-
ing. Other ofcers found the car aban-
doned a few
blocks away and
Barnett hiding in
the bushes near-
by. At the time,
Barnett had four
prior car theft
convictions and
was on felony
probation for
one theft the pre-
vious month.
Barnett accepted a plea deal for no
more than eight years on the morning
of his jury trial in January. He
received the six-year term as a sec-
ond-striker on charges of felony car
theft with a prior conviction and
assault on a police ofcer. Barnett,
who also spent nearly two months in
a state mental hospital as incompetent
before coming back to San Mateo
County for prosecution, has credit of
1,388 days against the term earned
while in custody on $100,000 bail.

SAN DIEGO The number of
homes sold in California rose 2.7
percent last month from a year earli-
er and the median price soared as the
housing market showed continuing
signs of recovery, the reporting rm
DataQuick said Thursday.
There were 28,871 houses and con-
dominiums sold in January still
around 9 percent below the January
average, despite the year-over-year
improvement, DataQuick reported.
Sales also were sharply down from
December but that is normal for the
season, the rm said.
Indicators of market distress con-
tinue to decline, the company said in
a statement. Foreclosure activity has
been trending lower and remains
well below peak levels reached sev-
eral years ago. Financing with multi-
ple mortgages is low, while down
payment sizes are stable.
The median price paid for a home
was $290,000, up nearly 23 percent
from January 2012. January also
marked the 11th consecutive month
in which the median price rose com-
pared with the same month a year
earlier.
Another good sign was that fore-
closed homes accounted for fewer
than a fth of home sales down
from more than a third a year earlier.
Short sales transactions in
which the sale price was lower than
what was owed on the property
dropped fractionally but still com-
prised more than a quarter of all
sales.

SACRAMENTO, The latest
investigation into nancial misman-
agement at the state Department of
Parks and Recreation shows that its
administrators do not even know
much it costs to operate each of
Californias more than 270 parks,
yet another symptom of a awed
organization that kept millions of
dollars hidden even as it sought to
close parks to save money.
Parks ofcials had no way of know-
ing how much money the state would
have saved by following their own
recommendation to close 70 parks last
year, according to an audit released
Thursday. The proposed closures
were the departments way of helping
the state address its budget decit.
The report by state Auditor Elaine
Howle was part of an investigation
into $54 million discovered last
summer in two special funds and
reveals that the hidden cash was but
one sign of wider mismanagement.

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obamas ambitious plan to
expand preschool programs comes
as one of every 13 students already
in Head Start classrooms is at risk of
being kicked out if lawmakers dont
sidestep a budget meltdown.
Obama was set to talk about
enlarging early childhood education
programs such as Head Start during
a stop Thursday in Georgia.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan,
meanwhile, told senators on Capitol
Hill that pending budget cuts could
be devastating to current students
and could hurt the nations economy
for years to come if students arent
learning now.
Were trying to do a lot more in
terms of early childhood education,
not go in the opposite direction,
Duncan said. Doing that to our
most vulnerable children is educa-
tion malpractice, economically fool-
ish and morally indefensible.
Obamas team is warning
Congress and lawmakers con-
stituents what is expected to hap-
pen if leaders fail to avert $85 bil-
lion in automatic budget cuts set to
begin March 1. With the cuts loom-
ing, the administration has
increased its pressure on lawmakers,
and Obamas State of the Union
address Tuesday made clear he was
not looking for compromise as he
begins his second term.
I propose working with states to
make high-quality preschool avail-
able to every child in America,
Obama told Congress and a national
television audience.
The White House fleshed out
Obamas plan Thursday, proposing
a continuum of high-quality early
learning for a child, beginning at
birth and continuing to age 5. The
government would fund public pre-
school for any 4-year-old whose
family income is 200 percent or less
of the federal poverty level a
more generous threshold than the
current Head Start program, which
generally serves kids from families
below 130 percent of the poverty
line.

WASHINGTON The outlook
for the U.S. job market is brighten-
ing after a government report
showed a sharp drop in the number
of Americans applying for unem-
ployment benets.
Weekly applications fell 27,000 to
a seasonally adjusted 341,000, the
Labor Department said Thursday.
Outside a few weeks last month
affected by seasonal distortions,
thats the lowest level in nearly ve
years.
The four-week average, which
smooths week-to-week uctuations,
stayed near a ve-year low.
Economists were encouraged by
the decline but want to see the
progress sustained and more jobs
created. Since the recession ended
in June 2009, the job market has
shown brief bursts of improvement
in the winter months only to falter in
the spring.
In addition, the huge snowstorm
that affected the Northeastern states
over the weekend could push up
applications in the coming weeks.
The latest report covered the week
ended Feb. 9, prior to when the
storm hit.
This is tentatively a positive sig-
nal for the labor market, Daniel
Silver, an economist at JPMorgan
Chase, said in a note to clients.
Falling applications signal fewer
layoffs. More hiring usually fol-
lows, but not always.

Senate GOP blocks
Hagel vote for now
WASHINGTON Senate
Republicans on Thursday blocked
the nomination of former GOP sen-
ator Chuck Hagel as the nations
next defense secretary over unrelat-
ed questions about President Barack
Obamas actions in the aftermath of
the deadly raid on the U.S. diplo-
matic mission in Libya. Obama
accused Republicans of playing pol-
itics with national security during
wartime, and Democrats vowed to
revive the nomination after
Congress weeklong break.
By 58-40, with one abstention, the
Senate fell short of the 60-vote
threshold required to advance
Hagels nomination to a nal, up-or-
down vote on his conrmation. Four
Republicans voted with Democrats
to end the debate
and proceed to a
nal vote: Sens.
Thad Cochran of
Mississippi, Lisa

and Mike

Obama reacted immediately,
hammering Republicans for an

Republican senator from Nebraska
and twice-wounded Vietnam com-
bat veteran will eventually win

A methamphetamine dealer
arrested in 2011 after county law
enforcement swarmed a suspected
San Carlos drug house so squalid a
building inspector deemed it unin-
habitable was sentenced Thursday
to six months in jail.
Edward Joseph Alves, 48, of
Redwood City, pleaded no contest
in July to felony drug sales in
return for no more than a half year
in jail and yesterday received just
that amount. Alves, who is free
from custody on an $80,000 bond,
must surrender to the jail June 1
and Judge Mark Forcum recom-
mended his term be served with
electronic monitoring or modified
to a residential treatment program.
Alves was one of three people
arrested June 1, 2011 at a home on
the 1500 block of Greenwood
Avenue after police received sever-
al complaints last March about
suspected drug dealing.
Authorities found the three indi-
viduals in the home along with a 5-
year-old child, eight pit bulls and a
significant amount of animal
waste. A San Carlos building
inspector called to the scene con-
demned the home.
At one sale,
house resident
Sarah Jane
DiLorenzo told
the informant
her crystal
methampheta-
mine source
had not arrived.
Shortly after,
Alves reported-
ly appeared and placed an item in a
dresser. DiLorenzo retrieved the
item and gave the informant the
requested drugs. At another,
DiLorenzos 5-year-old daughter
was present at the sale.
On June 1, 2011, the informant
asked for more methamphetamine
and drug agents watching the home
reported seeing Alves visit briefly.
The agents pulled Alves over and
reported finding in his truck two
ounces of methamphetamine. A
search of the Greenwood Avenue
home turned up methampheta-
mine, packing materials, pay-owe
sheets and sales paraphernalia.
DiLorenzo, 26, pleaded no con-
test to felony methamphetamine
sales and misdemeanor child
endangerment charges and was
sentenced to six months jail.
Alves has been free from cus-
tody on a $80,000 bond.

DALLAS US Airways CEO
Doug Parker has landed the big merg-
er he sought for years. Now the soon-
to-be CEO of the new American
Airlines has to make it work.
The eet needs new planes and
new paint. Frequent ier programs
have to be combined. Americans on-
time performance must improve. And
the airline needs to win back business
travelers who have drifted to com-
petitors. But Parkers nothing if not
persistent. After months of courting,
the companies on Thursday
announced an $11 billion merger that
will turn American into the worlds
biggest airline, with 6,700 daily
ights and annual revenue of roughly
$40 billion. Its a coup for Parker,
who runs the much-smaller US
Airways Group Inc. and believes that
mergers help airlines achieve higher
revenue and consistent prots.
When the deal closes later this year,
the four biggest U.S. airlines
American, United, Delta and
Southwest will all be the products
of mergers that began in 2008.

Letters to the editor
The Commercial Appeal, Memphis, Tenn.
C
ongress likes to impose draconian
consequences the scal cliff,
sequestration, national default on
itself, and unfortunately on the rest of us as
well, for failing to do what its supposed to
do.
The latest such gimmick is the no budget,
no pay proviso. The idea is that none of the
lawmakers will get a paycheck until both the
House and Senate pass a budget this year.
For the senators, its not an idle threat
because they havent passed a budget in four
years.
But the threat is somewhat mitigated
because so many members of Congress are
wealthy enough that they can get along with-
out their government paycheck and, besides,
they get all the money back at the end of the
congressional session. No member will
starve.
However, David Walker, a former U.S.
comptroller general who leads the nonprot
Comeback America Initiative, has come up
with a promising proposal to get the solons
to do their work: No deal, no break.
The public is generally unaware how much
time off Congress takes. Walker notes it
plans to adjourn for the equivalent of a full
month this spring while we confront at least
two critical deadlines: March 27, when the
government faces a shutdown if temporary
funding resolutions arent renewed, and May
19, when the debt ceiling will rise. And the
scal 2014 budget must be taken up whenev-
er President Barack Obama sends his budget
along. Plus, the lawmakers take a week off
for every federal holiday and virtually all of
August.
The premise is simple, Walker says.
Stay in Washington and do your job and
strike a meaningful scal deal that can
restore scal sanity. And until that happens,
dont recess.
Working at a job until its nished what
a novel concept.
Merging the Bay Area into
one government a bad idea
Editor,
The Joint Venture Silicon Valley
Network and the Silicon Valley
Community Foundation want to merge the
Bay Areas 101 cities and nine counties into
one region (Bay Area leaders consider
merger in the Feb. 9 edition of the Daily
Journal).
This is a bad idea because it will take
power from the people who live and work in
a local area and instead put decision-making
power in the hands of a huge conglomerate
that would most likely be ruled by special
interests. Local governments would become
irrelevant and powerless in making decisions
for their communities, and local governments
are the ones that know best what their com-
munity needs. As a result, the people in the
individual cities and counties would end up
with no say. We need to all oppose this plan
and make our desire to stay local known.

Lifestyles dont mesh
Editor,
Recently there was an article in your paper
(Bay Area leaders consider merger by
Martha Mendoza, in the Feb. 9 edition)
regarding a meeting hosted by the Joint
Venture Silicon Valley Network and the
Silicon Valley Community Foundation.
The purpose of this meeting was to discuss
uniting the more than 100 cities and towns
that make up the greater Bay Area into one
massive bureaucratic mess ... I mean region.
I live in Vacaville and I would venture to
say that most people in your area would have
to consult a map to nd out where Vacaville
is. People in your area would probably not
want to live in Vacaville and I can assure you
that I certainly wouldnt want to live in the
big cities of the Bay Area. Our lifestyles are
very different. I would suggest that Vacaville
has more in common with Sacramento than
the Bay Area.
This brings up the question as to why the
above mentioned organizations and their
leaders would want to include us in their
group? Is it to use our open spaces to dump
garbage? Is it to get their hands on more
money?
I can understand that there should be
agreements between these areas for trans-
portation and clean air and water. But we
wouldnt want to relinquish control of our
city to the control of bureaucrats from the
Bay Area who would probably have the
majority control of this organization. I dont
believe that any good would come to our
rural area if we become attached at the hip
with any metropolitan area.

We should re-establish
a thriving ecosystem
Editor,
Regarding the story, Fish killed after pipe
bursts near San Mateo Creek in the Feb. 13
edition of the Daily Journal, its sad when
things like this happen.
As a lifetime San Mateo resident and an
avid sherman, it makes me feel like this is
going to be one of those oh well things,
soon forgotten. I shed San Mateo Creek as
a youngster and caught many trout and steel-
head in it years ago when it was legal to do
so. Trout were plentiful and were six inches
up to 16 inches. Steelhead were in San

about 10 pounds. In 1965, I caught a steel-

Dying fish
Editor,
Regarding the story, Fish killed after pipe
bursts near San Mateo Creek in the Feb. 13
edition of the Daily Journal, what do we
need to do to have this terrible tasting and
smelling poison removed from our water?
Its not rocket science if its killing our
sh then what the heck is it doing to us
humans? Even if we boil our water, the chlo-
ramine remains.

The Jindal syndrome
Editor,
I was wondering just who Bobby Jindal
might have been referring to when he called
the Republican party the Stupid Party, and
then I read Ross Fotis letter to the editor in
the Feb. 9 edition of the Daily Journal, in
which he boasted about his Catholic ortho-
doxy, and it became clear, Gov. Jindal was
describing people like him. It is very interest-
ing to hear these narrow minded bigots
dene things like True American, Real
American and True Catholic or True
Christian in the high-minded, exclusionist,
self-righteous manner so typical of them.
They prove the adage, Tis better to have
people believe you a fool, than open your
mouth and convince them of it.

Recovery
that isnt
W
ith the stock market humming along
near all-time highs, it seems the
economy is back right? But is it?
Considering the last all-time stock market
high was in 2007, one would think we would
be signicantly over that point by now despite
the depths of the 2008 plummet particularly
since our gross domestic
product is supposed to
add at least two percent-
age points a year to be
successful.
Recent gains, though
nice for the average
retail investor who got
in during the last 12
months, are really not
that signicant consider-
ing that the Federal
Reserve is doing pretty
much everything in its
power to prop the market up. Even companies
that meet, or come close, to quarterly expecta-
tions are doing so because expectations have
been lowered signicantly.
Housing is recovering, but from a depth not
seen in decades. So the recovery is really a
step above a crisis. Progress, but not the stuff
of a boom.
The real recovery comes when employment
is back and many companies are wrestling
with several unknowns before committing to
an expansion of their employee roster. There
are tax changes that many accountants are still
trying to untangle along with the effects of the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Now this is not meant to disparage the intent
of the act it will take years to determine its
efcacy but solely to illustrate that there
are many unknowns. Will companies be able
to afford the new and higher rates especial-
ly if rates are determined to be higher accord-
ing to geographic area? Will they simply shift
that nancial obligation away and take the tax
hit from not providing coverage to their
employees? Will employees eventually face a
tax on health care coverage as if it is income?
The last few years have rolled out the more
popular components of the act coverage of
those with pre-existing conditions and the
allowance of those under 25 to remain under
their parents policy. But as it continues to roll
out, the unknowns will soon be known and
only then will businesses be more comfortable
adding to their payroll. And for now, fewer
employees means lower costs and better bot-
tom lines when their quarterly reports come
out which helps the stock market.
A larger issue is federal tax policy and the
unknowns within. Anyone who pays attention
understands the gridlock in Washington over
the issue and, while the president is enjoying
his re-election, that doesnt make it any easier
to get his ideals made into policy in the
Republican-controlled House. Tax policy
reform, or lack thereof, and its unknowns lead
into our nations problem with its debt. This
isnt Obamas doing by any means. Its been
growing for the past few decades as our nation
borrowed its way to success. Trickle-down
economics; followed by the monetary easing
policies of President Clinton which led to the
credit default swaps debacle; followed by ven-
ture capitalist funding of the dot-coms; fol-
lowed by two really expensive wars; followed
by the housing bubble; followed by the
calamity of 2008 and the Troubled Asset
Relief Program; followed by the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act; followed by
a series of quantitative easing measures by the
Federal Reserve in the midst of Senate reti-
cence to pass a budget has led to our current
situation. And that is a recovery facing signi-
cant headwinds.
The trouble now is that there seems to be a
trenched divergence of philosophies in how
best to manage our nations debt. It is that
debt that will continue to cripple us, devalue
our dollar and continue to keep us from true
economic recovery.
What will be the impacts of the health care
law? Do we tax? Or do we cut? Until those
three questions are answered, this recovery
will continue to limp along.

NEW YORK Renewed worries
about Europe overshadowed an encour-
aging U.S. jobs report on Thursday,
leaving major stock indexes roughly
where they started.
Germanys economy shrank more
than expected late last year, and the
slowdown in Europes largest economy
deepened the regions ongoing reces-
sion. Thats a troubling sign for the
U.S., because sales to Europe have been
a boon for American companies.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
9.52 points to close at 13,973.39.
After a strong start, the stock market
has drifted sideways over the previous
week with few major events to sway
investors. That calm could disappear
soon, said Doug Cote, chief market
strategist at ING U.S. Investment
Management.
With recessions in Europe and Japan,
and weak growth in the U.S., hes brac-
ing for some turbulence. Everybody is
too complacent, Cote said.
Cisco Systems fell 1 percent. The
worlds largest maker of computer net-
working equipment reported earnings
late Wednesday that surpassed Wall
Streets expectations, but the company
predicted sales growth that was weaker
than previous estimates. Ciscos stock
lost 15 cents to $20.99.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
edged up 1.05 to 1,521.38. The Nasdaq
composite index rose 1.78 to 3,198.66.
The S&P 500 index has climbed 1.6
percent this month and has already
gained 6.7 percent for the year.
The number of people applying for
unemployment benets fell to 341,000
last week, the lowest level in three
weeks, according to the Labor
Department. Besides a few weeks last
month affected by seasonal trends,
thats the lowest level in nearly ve
years.
Among the many deals announced
Thursday, American Airlines and U.S.
Airways agreed to merge, creating the
countrys largest airline. Warren Buffett
and 3G Capital, a private-equity rm,
also plan to buy the ketchup maker H.J.
Heinz for $23 billion. US Airways sank
67 cents to $13.99, while H.J. Heinz
soared $12.02 to $72.41.

NEW YORK Billionaire Warren
Buffett, the most closely watched
investor in America, is putting his
money in ketchup, agreeing Thursday to
buy H.J. Heinz Co. for $23.3 billion in
the richest deal ever in the food industry.
For his money, the Oracle of Omaha
gets one of the nations oldest and most
familiar brands, one thats in refrigera-
tors and kitchen cupboards all over the
U.S.
The deal is intended to help Heinz
accelerate its expansion from a dominant
American name into a presence on gro-
cery shelves worldwide. The Pittsburgh-
based company also makes baked beans,
pickles, vinegar, Classico pasta sauces
and Ore-Ida potatoes, as well as a grow-
ing stable of sauces suited to regional
tastes around the world.
Buffetts investment rm, Berkshire
Hathaway, is teaming with another rm,
3G Capital, to snap up Heinz, which had
long been a subject of takeover specula-
tion. New York-based 3G is best known
for its acquisition of Burger King and its
role in the deal that created Anheuser-
Busch InBev, the worlds biggest beer
maker.
The deal, expected to close in the third
quarter, sent shares of Heinz soaring.
The companys stock price was up near-
ly 20 percent, closing at $72.50
Thursday on the New York Stock
Exchange.
Berkshire picked up steam, too. Its
Class A shares gained $1,490, or about 1
percent, to close at $149,240.
Berkshire remains the most expensive
U.S. stock but its still below its all-time
high of $151,650, reached in December
2007.

GM turns 2012 profit despite losses in Europe
DETROIT General Motors has strung together a tidy
three-year run of prots by making big dollars in its backyard.
Now the question is whether its U.S. operations can keep
making enough to carry the company and cover widening loss-
es in Europe.
General Motors Co. on Thursday posted a prot of $4.9 bil-
lion for 2012, down 36 percent from a year earlier, when it
made $7.6 billion. Its net income fell because of European
losses and a truckload of one-time accounting gains and loss-
es in both years. Last years pretax prot, which excludes the
one-time items, still dropped, but only by 5 percent to $7.9 bil-
lion. Revenue for the year rose 1 percent to $152.3 billion.
The companys money machine, North America, made $6.9
billion before taxes for the year. But GM lost almost $1.8 bil-
lion in Europe, where it has too many factories and workers as
sales slow in a faltering economy.
The European losses widened by more than $1 billion. They
also wiped out the combined $1 billion made by GMs auto
loan and South American businesses, plus part of the $2.2 bil-
lion made by International Operations including China. GM
expects the European market to weaken further this year,
which could further stress its bottom line.

Given his long journey back to the big
leagues from ve years of baseball obscurity
to world champion last season, the San

Its a long time coming, Vogelsong said
Thursday. I know what it took me to get that

season. Upon returning to
the U.S., he toiled in the
minor leagues in 2010 and
in 2011 and got called up
early in the season by the Giants from Triple-
A Fresno. He joined the starting rotation and
pitched so well that manager Bruce Bochy
named him an NLAll-Star that summer.

CSM track
gears up for
new season
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
On more than one occasion during the fall
season, College of San Mateo track and eld
head coach Joe Mangan would nish his
weekly press conference with a smile on his
face.
It was one of those looking into a crystal
ball and liking what you see type of smiles
and it stemmed from the still-to-come track
and eld season.
So how is that smile looking as we are a day
away from the rst meet of the year?
Its still there, but the grin isnt as wide.
Im still excited. But not as excited,
Mangan said. The difference between fall
excitement and reality is not quite the same.
But Im still excited. We have our best two
(track and eld athletes) returning.
The expectations for the 2013 CSM track
and field team revolve around Roman
Skovronski and Evan Michael two of the
top athletes in the Coast Conference.
Skovronski, the 400-meter hurdler, returns
after a second place finish in the Coast
Conference and in Northern California. He
then went on to nish fth in the state before
traveling to Indiana and nishing as a nalist
during the national junior meet. Hes also cur-
rently the second-best all-time 400-meter hur-
dler at CSM.
On the eld side of things, McDaniel returns
for his second season as a Bulldog.
He looks to be a dominant force in the
Coast, thats for sure, Mangan said.
McDaniel was the Coast Conference cham-
pion in the shotput last year and nished sec-
ond in Northern California in the same event.
He was fth in the discus (seventh in NorCal)
and sixth in the javelin.

Peninsula Athletic League tournament fans
inside the Aragon High School gymnasium
Thursday night, were you not entertained?
In what has to be one of the more miracu-
lous comeback bids in the history of the PAL
tourney, the Aragon Dons boys basketball
team nearly overcame a 22-point fourth quar-
ter decit to stun Half Moon Bay High School.
Up two points and with 6.8 seconds left in
the game, Corey Cilia missed the front end of
a 1-and-1. Aragon rebounded and pushed up
the oor where Nick
Frankel, one of the
more deadly shooter
in the league, got a
good look for 3 from
the left elbow but his
shot hit front iron giv-
ing the Cougars the
62-60 win in the open-
ing round of the PAL tournament.
The fact that the Dons were even in the posi-
tion to win the game is astonishing consider-
ing the way the Cougars outright dominated
27 of the 32 minutes. With ve minutes left in
the contest, the score was 60-40 in favor of the
No. 3 Cougars. From that moment on, Aragon
outscored Half Moon Bay 20-2.
Our guys, our biggest problem is were not
very disciplined, said Cougars head coach
Rich Forslund. We wont change behavior.
And it almost came back to bite us. When you
do what we ask, you saw in the rst half, fan-
tastic. But in the second half, all of sudden
were thinking we can run like they (Aragon)
can after we told them exactly what to do.
At halftime we said boys, youll get two,
three runs. Be ready for that, said Aragon
head coach Sam Manu. We just did not
rebound well the rst half. They just owned
us. They were getting the easy baskets and we
were getting the hard ones. And they owned us
on the boards.
The Cougars played what can only be
described as beautiful basketball in the rst
half. With Aragon up 5-2, Half Moon Bay
began an all-out blitz of efciency on offense.

PRETORIA, South Africa
Paralympic superstar Oscar
Pistorius was charged Thursday
with the murder of his girlfriend
who was shot inside his home in
South Africa, a stunning develop-
ment in the life of a national hero
known as the Blade Runner for his
high-tech articial legs.
Reeva Steenkamp, a model who
spoke out on Twitter against rape
and abuse of women, was shot four
times in the predawn hours in the
house, in a gated community in the
capital, Pretoria, police said.
Hours later after undergoing
police questioning, Pistorius left a
police station accompanied by of-
cers. He looked down as photogra-
phers snapped pictures, the hood on
his gray workout jacket pulled up,
covering most of his face. His court
hearing was originally scheduled
for Thursday afternoon but has been
postponed until Friday to give
forensic investigators time to carry
out their work, said Medupe
Simasiku, a spokesman for the pros-
ecution.
South Africans were shocked at
the killing. But while Pistorius cap-
tured the nations attention with his
Olympic quest, police said there
was a recent history of problems
involving him. Police spokeswoman
Brigadier Denise Beukes said the
incidents included allegations of a
domestic nature.
Im not going to elaborate on it
but there have been incidents (at
Pistorius home), Beukes said.
Police in South Africa do not name
suspects in crimes until they have
appeared in court but Beukes said
that the 26-year-old Pistorius was at
his home at the time of the death of
Steenkamp and there is no other
suspect involved.
Pistorius father, Henke, declined
to comment when contacted by the
Associated Press, only saying we
all pray for guidance and strength
for Oscar and the ladys parents.
Neither Pistorius agent Peet van
Zyl nor coach Ampie Louw could
be reached while Pistorius own
cellphone went straight to voice-
mail.
Pistorius former coach, Andrea
Giannini, said he hopes it was just
a tragic accident. Giannini said he
believed that Pistorius had been dat-
ing Steenkamp for a few months.
No matter how bad the situation
was, Oscar always stayed calm and
positive, Giannini told the AP in
Italy. Whenever he was tired or
nervous he was still extremely nice
to people. I never saw him violent.
Yet Pistorius had troubles in his
personal life. In February 2009, he
crashed a speed boat he was piloting
on South Africas Vaal River.
Witnesses said he had been drinking
before the crash and ofcers found
alcoholic beverages in the wreck-
age, though they acknowledged at
the time they hadnt conducted a
blood test on the athlete. Pistorius
broke his nose, jaw and several ribs
in the crash, as well as damaged his
eye socket and required some 180
stitches to his face.
In November, Pistorius also found
himself in an altercation with a local
coal mining millionaire over a
woman, South African media
reported. Eventually, the two men
involved the South African Police
Services elite Hawks investigative
unit before settling the matter.
Pistorius owned firearms and
posted a photograph of himself at a
shooting range in November 2011
to the social media website Twitter,
bragging about his score.
Had a 96% headshot over 300m
from 50shots! Bam! he tweeted.
Police said that earlier reports that
Steenkamp may have been mistaken
for a burglar by Pistorius did not
come from the police. Several local
media outlets initially reported that
the shooting may have been acci-
dental.
Capacity Relations, a talent man-
agement rm, earlier named model
Steenkamp as the victim of the
shooting. Police spokeswoman Lt.
Col. Katlego Mogale told the AP
that ofcers received a call around 3
a.m. after the shooting.
A 9 mm pistol was recovered and
a murder case opened against
Pistorius.
Pistorius enjoyed target shooting
with his pistol and an online adver-
tisement featuring him for Nike
read: I am a bullet in the chamber.
An article in January 2012 in The
New York Times Magazine
described him talking about how he
pulled a pistol to search his home
when his alarm went off the night
before an interview.
At Pistorius suggestion, he and
the journalist went to a nearby tar-
get range where they red at targets
with a 9 mm pistol. At one point,
Pistorius told the writer: If you
practiced, I think you could be pret-
ty deadly.
Asked how often he went target
shooting, Pistorius replied: Just
sometimes when I cant sleep.
Police have still not released the
name of the woman, but the publi-
cist for Steenkamp conrmed in a
statement that the model was dead.
We can confirm that Reeva
Steenkamp has passed away,
Steenkamps publicist Sarit
Tomlinson said. Our thoughts and
prayers go to the Steenkamp family,
who have asked to have their priva-
cy respected during this difcult
time, everyone is simply devastated.
She was the kindest, sweetest
human being; an angel on earth and
will be sorely missed.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
NASCAR will likely require base-
line concussion tests for all drivers in
2014.
Steve ODonnell, NASCARs sen-
ior vice president of racing opera-
tions, said ofcials have also urged
drivers to get an ImPACT test before
this season.
Weve encouraged them all to get
that, with the emphasis that in 2014
that almost likely will be mandated
for all of them, ODonnell said
Thursday at Daytona International
Speedway. Were in the process of
doing that right now. Were educat-
ing them on what it is, how it works,
and well come back with that for the
2014 preseason.
The test is used by many profes-
sional sports leagues, including the
NFL, to assess concussions and
determine when an injured athlete
can safely return to play. The
ImPACT test has transformed the
way concussions are managed by
giving a tangible measure of whats
going on in the brain. Its a comput-
er-based series of fast-paced quizzes
involving words, pictures and colors.
Scores reect how quickly and cor-
rectly the questions are answered.
Four-time Cup champion Jeff
Gordon voluntarily took the test and
says all drivers should complete one
even if its not mandatory.
Why not go ahead and get ahead
of the game? Gordon said. Plus, I
would rather have it before the sea-
son starts, before the potential of
having a head injury, to get a base-
line.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. missed two
races last season during the Chase
for the Sprint Cup championship
with a concussion. Earnhardt was
checked out last year by Dr. Micky
Collins, the clinical and executive
director of the Sports Medicine
Concussion Program at the

Center.

Cardinals at 3-3 and keep San Francisco alive
for an eventual Game 7 clincher.
Vogelsong then won Game 3 of the World
Series and the Giants went on to sweep the
Detroit Tigers. Rather than feel nervous, he
felt sure of himself in the World Series and
said it was more difcult not being on the
mound.
When I was pitching, I had this over-
whelming feeling of, This is my time and
God had put me in this situation and put me
through everything else to get me ready for
that postseason, he said.
It took a trip to the Baseball Hall of Fame in
January for Vogelsong to take an introspective
look at how far hed come. He viewed the
World Series display at the museum.
When I saw my jersey in there . thats
when things kind of sunk in quite a bit,
Vogelsong said.
Vogelsong said one thing he improved on
from 2011 was pitching better with runners on
base. He credited the Giants defense behind
him and some luck for part of that.
Just look at what our defense did in the
postseason. We get to see that every night,
Vogelsong said. Its just that everyone else
got to see it when we were on national TV.
This spring, Vogelsong is in camp healthy
from the start as opposed to a year ago, when
he hurt his back lifting weights and missed the
early part. He got through last season but
acknowledged he has to stay on top of the
injury now.
Vogelsong actually got an earlier start than
many of his teammates even though he threw
his rst team bullpen session Thursday. Hes
been throwing since before camp ofcially
opened because he will be leaving the Giants
to join Team USA in the World Baseball
Classic early next month.
These guys that are going
(to the WBC), theyll be
worked a little different,
Bochy said. Its going to be
so vital for us to make sure
these guys are game-ready when they leave
here and well make sure that Vogeys ready
and thats why his pen (bullpen session) was
a little bit longer.
Bochy said he spoke with USA manager
Joe Torre, who told him that Vogelsong g-
ures to have a pitch limit and is likely to be
used in the second WBC game.
This is an honor for him and were happy
for him and hes excited about it, to represent
his country, Bochy said. Its neat to see that
hes accomplished so much in a couple of
years despite all his ups and downs.

PHOENIX Oakland Athletics closer
Grant Balfour was scheduled for arthroscopic
surgery on his right knee Thursday afternoon
to repair a torn meniscus.
The As made the announcement that the
right-hander is expected to miss four to six
weeks, and that he had decided to have the
procedure now with the hopes of returning for
the start of the season. The injury is consid-
ered minor.
He said through the team that the knee both-
ered him late last season but wasnt consid-
ered anything serious and that the knee
calmed down during the offseason. So, he
went about his regular regimen over the win-
ter.
I didnt know what it was other than I was
a little sore, Balfour said in the statement.
Obviously we were in a
pennant race so I was
going to pitch. ... I was
able to work out with very
little soreness, so I really
wasnt concerned.
The 35-year-old Balfour
went 3-2 with a 2.53 ERA
and 24 saves last season
for the AL West champi-
ons.
The As exercised their $4.5 million contract
option for the Australian reliever shortly after
the team lost in a ve-game AL division series
to the Detroit Tigers.
He made 75 appearances spanning 74 2-3
innings in 2012, his ninth year in the majors.
Balfour began the season as the closer, lost the
job, then earned it back again down the stretch
as the As rallied over the nal 10 games to
stun the Texas Rangers on the nal day of the
regular season.
Balfour arrived at spring training earlier this
week eager to get started with a pitching staff
that is nearly intact from last season.
Now, he will prepare to get going on his
rehabilitation as soon as possible after the
operation.
I feel good about getting it done now,
Balfour said. It will allow me to get ready for
Game 1 of the season. I knew the way I was
feeling I wouldnt have been able to pitch
through it all season long.
Balfour threw Wednesday and felt some-
thing in the knee.

Kenny Perry puts off
knee surgery to play
NAPLES, Fla. Defending champion
Kenny Perry put off surgery on his left knee
until next week so he could play in the
Champions Tours ACE Group Classic.
Hampered by torn cartilage, Perry had a cor-
tisone shot about three weeks ago and is
scheduled to have surgery Tuesday. He tied for
19th last week in the Allianz Championship.
Its holding up OK, Perry said. Its gotten
a little better each day. I protected it on a few
shots last week, and I hung back. When I do
that, I hit big hooks, and it got me in some
serious trouble.
Twenty-eight of the top 30 on the 2012

comes back after a strong season with the shot and javelin.
I wouldnt be surprised to see him be one of the better
throwers in the north, Mangan said.
With that trio leading the way, Mangan is looking for a cou-
ple of freshmen to have big seasons.
Chief among those is Kevin Kuchtera of Granada High
School. Hes a hurdler who nished 10th in the 300-meter hur-
dles at the California state meet. Mangan said Kuchtera is
adjusting well to the additional 100 meters and two hurdles,
and actually used to race against Skovronski in high school
with great success.
Colin Luu of Lincoln will be instrumental in the eld events.
He was state nalist last year in the discus. Scott Chisea will
also factor in with the throwers.
Peninsula Athletic League fans will recognize former 200-
meter champion Gabe Ortiz of Sequoia High School. Ortiz
underwent surgery his senior year after his time with the
Cherokees football team and missed out on a lot of the track
season. But hes back this year.
He looks strong, Mangan said.
Additionally, runners from Burlingame and Menlo-Atherton
high schools will factor into the short distance events given
that Mangan has very few returners there.
We should have a pretty strong 4x400 team this year,
Mangan said. Well see what happens with that. At least it
should be the most consistent more consistent than what we
had six or seven years ago and they made the state nal.
Mangan called the womens side of his team, a developing
story.
Somebody is going to continue our run at having a woman
in the state meet, he said. Weve always had somebody. As
of right now, who that somebody is very unclear.
It should also prove to be a very visible year for the track and
eld facility at CSM the Bulldogs are hosting six events
this year including the state nal May 17 and 18.
CSM BASEBALL
The Bulldogs fell to 2-6 overall in non-conference play with
a 4-1 loss to Marin College. The loss comes on the heels of
losses to De Anza, Ohlone and Diablo Valley colleges book-
ended around a 17-8 win over Solano College.
Former Burlingame Panther Zac Grotz was more than solid
on the mound for CSM. He went eight innings, giving up
seven hits and just one run. He struck out ve.
But the CSM bullpen surrendered four runs in the top of the
ninth to increase Marins advantage 4-0.
Ryan Atlas drove in CSMs only run on a ninth-inning dou-
ble, scoring Dane Vande Guchte who had doubled earlier in the
frame.
CSM SOFTBALL
The College of San Mateo softball team is ranked No. 1 in
Northern California and No. 2 among the states 85 teams in
this weeks ofcial polls of the California Community College
Fast Pitch Coaches Association.
CSM (10-1) was ranked third in NorCal and fth in the state
in the preseason poll and moved up in the rst regular season,
bi-weekly rankings.
Cypress College (2-0) remained No. 1 overall.
The Bulldogs started the season 10-0 before losing their rst
game Tuesday, 3-2, at San Joaquin Delta.
Continued from page 11
TRACK
They went on an 11-0 run to lead 13-
5 and then another 9-0 to close the quar-
ter. In all, the Cougars were 11 of 14
from the eld in the rst period alone
with six players on the scoresheet
already.
And Half Moon Bay did not cool off
at all in the second quarter. After Aragon
scored four quick points via Alex Manu,
Forslund called a quick time-out and the
Cougars went to work from there. A13-
0 run put them up 38-15 and from there
they carried a 49-26 lead into recess.
We played fantastic, Forslund said
of his team who shot an unreal 70 per-
cent from the eld in the rst half. We
played super. We did exactly what we
wanted to. The Cougars had nine dif-
ferent scorers in the rst half.
For their efforts, Aragon simply did
not have the outside stroke, going 7 of
27 from the oor.
We did a good job of keeping guys in
front, Forslund said of his teams
defense. We worked very hard on not
being split on defense.
Come the end of the third quarter, a
period where Aragon outscored the
Cougars just 10-9, it looked like Half
Moon Bay would put the win on cruise
control and get ready for a trip to
Sequoia Friday night.
But not so fast.
With ve minutes and change on the
game clock, a team that would not
rebound and had shot 3 of 21 from out-
side the arc, nally started putting things
together.
I knew they were going to make a
comeback because ... they like to play
fast, thats not our style, to play that
fast, Forslund said. Were not good
enough to play that fast. It was a great
comeback by them.
We like this fast pace, Sam Manu
said. We know that no matter how
many points were down, the points
come quick.
Frankel, who nished with 22 points,
hit a pair of 3s. Alex Manus drives
found bottom. Trevor Lahoz hit a couple
oaters and all of sudden, with less than
a minute left, the lead was only four.
In some way, a running clock helped
Half Moon Bay drain precious seconds
off the game clock on inbound plays and
a team that could not miss in the rst
half, was barely getting a shot off come
the fourth quarter.
With 6.8 seconds left, Cilia, who was
magnicent with 17 points, missed his
free throw and Aragon got the ball into
desired hands, but the shot fell short.
The win for Half Moon Bay propels
them into the seminal nals of the PAL
tournament where theyll face El
Camino High School a team that beat
them twice in the regular season.
Elsewhere ... El Camino beat Sequoia.
... Burlingame got 13 points from
Connor Haupt and Nick Loew in a win
against Terra Nova. ... The Panthers will
face Westmoor who beat Menlo-
Atherton 44-33. ... On the girls side, No.
1 Westmoor beat San Mateo 48-41. ...
The Rams will face Woodside, who won
another nail-biter, 49-48 over Half
Moon Bay. ... South City beat Mills 39-
37. ... The Warriors face Burlingame
who beat El Camino by 16.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEWYORK Adecision on whether
NHL players will head to the 2014 Sochi
Olympics isnt likely this week, but a rst
day of discussions went well.
Talks between the NHL, the NHLplay-
ers association, and ofcials from the
International Ice Hockey Federation and
the International Olympic Committee
stretched into Thursday night as the par-
ties worked toward getting NHL players
back to the Olympics for a fth straight
time.
There are obstacles in the process, but
the sides will get back together on Friday
to talk some more.
We had good discussions, NHL
Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly told The
Associated Press in an email Thursday
night after talks wrapped up. We expect
to continue tomorrow.
While the NHL and the players might
want to participate in the Olympics again,
they have to gure out if it makes sense
for them to interrupt another season to
make it possible.
I dont expect any resolution or deci-
sions this week, Daly wrote to the AP
earlier Thursday.
In these negotiations, the NHL and the
players association appear to be aligned
in their position.
The Sochi Games are one year away.
While a nal decision isnt required this
week, one will have to be reached in the
near future. It is believed hockey federa-
tions will need to know by May what
players will be available for their teams.
The current discussions are being held
between NHL Commissioner Gary
Bettman, NHLPA executive director
Donald Fehr, IIHL President Rene Fasel
and ofcials from the IOC.
After enduring a long lockout that pro-
duced a shortened regular season this
year, the NHL is weighing whether it is
worth shutting down the game for more
than two weeks next season to allow its
players to go to Russia for the Olympics.
The time difference will force the
games to be played at off hours in North
America, and the NHL would like to
receive concessions from the IOC that
havent been made before.
In return for sending its players to the
Sochi Olympics, the NHL is trying to
acquire video, photograph and website
rights for the games. The IIHF and the
IOC retain those exclusive rights now.
The NHL began sending its players to
the 1998 Games in Nagano, Japan, and
continued through the 2010 Vancouver
Games. Even though the NHL received
great exposure by having its players take
part in an Olympics in North America,
disrupting the season does come with a
cost.
The stopping of the season, the poten-
tial injury risk to players, and no tangible
upside for the NHL are all factors that
create doubt about whether the invest-
ment is good for the league.
One topic that isnt on the agenda dur-
ing this weeks meetings is NHL realign-
ment.
No decision yet on NHL players in Olympics

Safe Haven made
for the romantics
By Stephen Farber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES Its easy to understand why Hollywood loves doing busi-
ness with author Nicholas Sparks. His books are huge best-sellers, and sev-
eral of the lms adapted from his novels Message in a Bottle, The
Notebook, and Dear John have achieved impressive box ofce grosses.
The latest Sparks adaptation, Safe Haven, will probably continue his
winning streak, especially with its Valentines Day opening
pegged to lure female fans. A thriller element that has
not been present in earlier Sparks movies is
designed to draw reluctant male viewers to see
the picture, but they wont respond with the
same enthusiasm as his core audience of
woozy romantics.
The mystery plot recalls a 1991 Julia
Roberts movie, Sleeping with the Enemy,
in which the heroine ed an abusive hus-
band and tried to re-invent herself in a
brand new community. In this case our
heroine, Katie (Julianne Hough), runs
away from a toxic marriage in Boston,
boards a bus, and on a whim gets off in a
small seaside community in North
Carolina. There she meets a sensitive wid-
ower, Alex (Josh Duhamel), raising two
young children on his own. Because of
their troubled histories, they approach each
other warily, but theres little doubt about
where their relationship is headed. Before
long, however, a nasty blast from Katies past
arrives to threaten her newfound bliss.
The rst problem with the lm is that the bur-
geoning romance is too at to generate intense
audience empathy. Alexs daughter, who barely
remembers her mother, warms to Katie immedi-
ately, but her older brother has a harder time with
his fathers new relationship. Still, this compli-
cation isnt especially well developed in the
screenplay by Dana Stevens and Gage Lansky.
In addition, the two main characters are such
paragons that there are no real psychological
impediments to their union. To jack up the ten-
sion, director Lasse Hallstrom (who also
helmed the lm Dear John) keeps intercut-
ting scenes of a grim, hard-drinking Boston
cop (David Lyons) determined to track
Katie down. But the gauzy romantic
interludes prove to be something of a
yawn. When her nemesis finally
arrives in North Carolina, the lm
does develop some effectively sus-
penseful moments. But the drama is a

ART AND HISTORY INTERSECT
AT THE MUSEUM OF THE
AFRICAN DIASPORA. To honor the
150th anniversary of the Emancipation
Proclamation, Wells Fargo joins with
several of the nations leading African-
American museums to host a year-long
tour of The Kinsey Collection: Shared
Treasures of Bernard and Shirley
Kinsey, Where Art and History Intersect,
containing art and artifacts chronicling
African-American history and culture
dating back to the 1600s. One of the
largest private collections of African-
American artifacts, documents and art-
work, the Kinsey collection of rare
books and manuscripts, paintings, prints,
sculpture and photographs includes an
early version of the Emancipation
Proclamation, correspondence between
Malcolm X and Alex Haley, slave shack-
les, a 1773 rst-edition copy of poems
by Phillis Wheatley, a 1795 Bannakers
Almanack, 18th- and 19th-century slave
documents, letters by Zora Neale
Hurston and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther
King Jr. and ne art by luminaries such
as Henry O. Tanner, Richmond Barth,
Elizabeth Catlett, Samuel L. Dunson Jr.,
Richard Mayhew, Jacob Lawrence and
Romare Bearden. The collection was put
together by Bernard and Shirley Kinsey
over the 40 years of their marriage.
Grace C. Stanislaus, executive director
of the Museum of the African Diaspora,
said, We are greatly honored to be the
rst venue in the national tour of the
Kinsey Collection, a collection that is
incomparable for the historical signi-
cance and quality of the objects but also
for the extraordinary stories they tell
about the indomitable spirit, creativity
and resiliency of African-Americans.
This exhibition provides a unique oppor-
tunity to honor the 150th anniversary of
the Emancipation Proclamation as well
as to celebrate impassioned collectors
Bernard and Shirley Kinsey.
Collector Bernard Kinsey said, The
Kinsey Collection strives to give our
ancestors a voice, name and personality,
enabling the viewer to understand the
challenges, obstacles, triumphs and
extraordinary sacrifice of African-
Americans whove greatly contributed to
the success of this country. We are
delighted to join with Wells Fargo in
honoring the 150th Anniversary of the
Emancipation Proclamation and look
forward to bringing this exhibition to
national audiences.
The Museum of the African Diaspora,
located at 685 Mission St. (at Third

newcomers Ryan Gosling and Rachel
McAdams balancing seasoned veterans
James Garner and Gena Rowlands. To put it
as charitably as possible, the actors in Safe
Haven are not in the same league. Hough,
better known as a singer and dancer than a
dramatic actress, is likably spunky, but
Duhamel fades into the background, and
there are no lively supporting players in the
ensemble. Perhaps the biggest disappoint-
ment is that Hallstrom, who burst into
prominence with his fine direction of child
actors in the Swedish film My Life as a
Dog, fails to draw vivid performances from
the two actors cast as Alexs children.
Hallstroms direction is generally lackluster.
The picture is certainly competent, but a
dozen other journeyman directors could have
executed this piece just as efciently. Its hard
to see much evidence of the talent that bright-
ened My Life as a Dog, The Cider House
Rules, or even Chocolat. The seaside loca-
tions are tenderly evoked by cinematographer
Terry Stacey and production designer Kara
Lindstrom, but the lm isnt visually memo-
rable or dramatically vibrant. It does, howev-
er, have one sentimental surprise at the end
that testies to Sparks storytelling shrewd-
ness. This last-minute twist is shameless and
stupefying, but it demonstrates why Sparks
has an army of fervent readers. His fans will
no doubt swoon over this tear-jerking nale,
even while critics stare at the screen with jaws
open in disbelief.

ART TO TAKE HOME. A custom-

Ranging from stained glass to watercolors to
clay sculptures, the original artwork can be
purchased from the machine for $5 per item.
Art-o-mat creator Clark Whittington, a
North Carolinabased artist, created Art-o-
mat in 1997 as a way to sell photos at his art
show in a local caf. After the success of the
installation, Whittington recruited other
local artists to join the project and formed
Artists in Cellophane with the intent to dis-
tribute affordable art to the general public.
The project has grown to include works from

An ofcial with the Ice Center of San Mateo
approached the citys Parks and Recreation
Advisory Committee recently to express an
interest in bringing an ice rink to the new park,
Parks and Recreation Director Kevin Miller
told the Daily Journal.
The Ice Center, which is located at the
Bridgepointe Shopping Center in San Mateo,
is set to have its lease expire at the end of May
and the propertys ownership has told the
Daily Journal it has no intention of renewing
the lease, seeking instead to develop retail
uses on the property in exchange for providing
San Mateo with an off-site recreational ameni-
ty.
Bridgepointes master plan with the city
requires it to provide a recreational amenity
on the property but not explicitly an ice rink.
Now, the Ice Center is looking at neighbor-
ing Foster City to see if an ice rink is feasible.
It would be an awesome facility for Foster
City to have but were not sure it would work
on the site, Miller told the Daily Journal.
The department will put together a pro-con
analysis on many proposals for the site and
present them to the advisory committee in
April, Miller said.
Foster City acquired the property that
includes a picnic area, rest room and parking
lot from San Mateo County in November. The
county still owns the Werder Pier, adjacent to
the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge, but Foster
City, the county and other agencies own the
land around the pier.
The city is also seeking input for
Destination Park, the triangular-shaped parcel
owned by the city at the terminus of Halibut
Street at Beach Park Boulevard once eyed by
the San Mateo-Foster City School District for
a proposed fourth elementary school.
Proposals so far include keeping both parks
as open space; adding more picnic tables and
benches; a community garden; and interpre-
tive bird and wildlife signage.
Vendor opportunities and the ice rink are
proposed just for Werder Park.
Councilmen Art Kiesel and Herb Perez both
told the Daily Journal that generating revenue
from the Werder site would be preferable.
Lets see what is feasible and whether we
can generate revenue from it, Kiesel said.
Kiesel is not so keen on spending city
money for major additions at Destination
Park, however.
That would be very impactful to the neigh-
borhood, he said.
Perez wants to make sure Werder Park is
preserved for recreational purposes.
He also likes the idea of an ice rink for the
property since it will raise revenue for the city.
Shearwater Isle resident Jacqueline Meyer,
however, opposes the idea and wants the city
to listen carefully to its residents before decid-
ing how to proceed.
Perez, too, said the ice rink idea has
received a chilly reception so far.

Chefs pick scenes for best screen cuisine
By Michelle Locke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO What happens when you ask a group
of food world luminaries to come up with their picks for Best
Food Scene in a movie?
You get some unexpected responses. Who knew Pulp
Fiction was such a foodie ick? You pick up a few tips, like the
Goodfellas guide to truly razor-thin garlic.
And there will be bacon.
Here are some of the nominations for Oscar-worthy examples
of screen cuisine, along with a trio of cocktail recipes to help you
toast this years winners on Feb. 24 in those other categories, like
Best Picture.
Fabio Viviani, Top Chef Season 5 Fan Favorite and host
of Yahoos Chow Ciao, took a practical approach for his choice,
opting for the Goodfellas scene that shows Paulie slicing gar-
lic with a razor. What a way to get the perfect thin garlic! You
can almost smell the garlic and tomatoes and meat cooking in the
scene.
His takeaway? Doesnt matter if youre a criminal or just a
normal guy, there is nothing better than breaking bread with
friends and family and sharing food. Add some vino and
BOOM!, that is whats most important in life.
No one suggested scenes from classic food movies like Big
Night or Tampopo, perhaps not surprising considering that
those kind of lms dont exactly qualify as escapism to a cook.
As Colman Andrews, editorial director of TheDailyMeal.com
put it, maybe its just that I devote so much of my time to food
writing about it, editing a food website, cooking and eating it
that when I relax away from the table, food is the last thing I
want to think about.
Memorable food scenes are the ones that sneak up on me, in
non-food movies, he says, like the old-fashioned bread-baking
process shots from The Bakers Wife, a French classic from the
1930s, and Ray Winstone intoning Im gonna ave the cala-
mari, in Sexy Beast.
But the food lm moment he thinks about most probably per-
versely, is the scene in Hook wherein the grown-up Peter Pan
gure (Robin Williams) joins the Lost Boys in a banquet of non-
existent Neverfood. It just seems to say so much about appetite
and the joy that the mere thought of food can summon up.
Sometimes movies poke fun at the trappings of ne dining and
Stephen Barber, executive chef of Farmstead at Long Meadow
Ranch in the Napa Valley is OK with that. He likes the scene
from The Jerk, in which a gauche Steve Martin, after rst
ordering some fresh wine, no more of this old stuff, is horri-
ed to nd that his dates plate is covered with snails.
Barber doesnt have escargot on his menu, which is sourced
locally, including from eight acres of organic gardens, though he
does make sure staff looks out for customers who may be bafed
by what to do with a particular dish. Michael Mina, a Michelin-
starred chef and big movie fan, went for something a little dif-
ferent with his favorite food scene the dialogue between Jules
and Vincent as they have breakfast at a diner in Pulp Fiction.
The whole scene is so perfect, he says. Vincent offers Jules
a piece of bacon and prompts a diatribe against pork that segues
into why Jules is planning on retiring as an assassin. Its pure
brilliance and classic Tarantino.
For his part, Mina has no such qualms. Bacon is that one
ingredient that you have to have, he says. Just not too much.
Mina jokes that he does a bacon check of restaurant menus in
his Mina Group to make sure that the dishes arent going over-
board with the tasty breakfast meat.
Michael Mina, a Michelin-starred chef and big movie fan, went for something a little different with his favorite food scene
the dialogue between Jules and Vincent as they have breakfast at a diner in Pulp Fiction.

But a Caltrain/California HSR
Blended Operations Analysis released
last March by Caltrain indicates the trav-
el times to be between 37 minutes and
43 minutes from San Francisco to San
Jose depending on the speed of the
trains, either 79 mph or 110 mph.
The time difference might not seem
like much but Rita Wespi, with
Californians Advocating Responsible
Rail Design, said Vaccas assertions are
not based on reality and that most
reports indicate it will take at least three
hours for the San Francisco to Los
Angeles trip.
The extra 20 minutes could lead to a
dramatic drop-off in ridership, Wespi
said.
They are using a bunch of assump-
tions simply under the best of condi-
tions, Wespi said. When we look at it,
it shows they cant do it.
Vacca reviewed an analysis by PB
America using the Berkeley Simulation
software known as Rail Traffic
Controller and concluded the blended
approach could meet the Proposition 1A
time requirements.
Further improvements may be
achievable through improved train per-
formance, use of tilt technology, more
aggressive alignments and higher maxi-
mum speeds, Vacca wrote in the memo.
The simulation is part of various peri-
odic reviews to ensure that the rail
authoritys plan is feasible and in com-
pliance with Proposition 1A, the author-
itys Deputy Director of
Communications Rob Wilcox wrote the
Daily Journal in an email yesterday.
The simulation considered the pro-
posed alignment and its characteristics
as well as any other factors that would
have an impact on travel time. Caltrains
own analysis has shown that it can pro-
vide high-speed rail an unimpeded
pass, Wilcox wrote in the email.
While Caltrain may be able to provide
and unimpeded pass for HSR, Wespi still
questions how the Peninsula trip can be
made in just 30 minutes.
They seem to be relying on technolo-
gy that may not exist yet, Wespi said
about the conclusion the San Francisco
to Los Angeles trip can be made in two
hours and 40 minutes. The authoritys
own revised business plan released last
year shows the trip cannot be made in
less than three hours with the blended
approach, Wespi said.
A Caltrain ofcial, however, wrote in
an email to the Daily Journal yesterday
that last years operations analysis is not
an indication of the fastest time that a
high-speed rail train can travel between
San Francisco and San Jose.
Caltrains analysis tested the opera-
tional feasibility of blending the two sys-
tems, including stops at Diridon and
Millbrae, but does not assess how
improvements like curve straightening,
the downtown rail extension in San
Francisco and other factors might impact
travel time, Caltrains Communications
Manager Jayme Ackemann wrote the
Daily Journal in an email.
It is our understanding that some of
the factors we included in our analysis
differed from that done by CHSRA,
Ackemann wrote in the email.
The simulation showing the trip can be
made under Proposition 1A require-
ments is good news to Caltrain, howev-
er.
We have been and continue to be
committed to working with CHSRA to
design a system that is fully compliant
with Proposition 1A. Its encouraging
that HSR is starting to assess whats
needed to achieve this, Ackemann
wrote in the email.

California and across the nation called
swatting, in which callers falsely report
serious crimes, resulting in a huge
deployment of public safety resources in
a heightened tactical response to
unknowing, innocent people, according
to San Mateo police Sgt. Dave Norris.
Obviously this creates enormous
potential for innocent community mem-
bers and public safety personnel to get
hurt, and diverts critical public safety
resources from other duties, Norris said
in a prepared statement. It is not funny,
and also a crime, Norris said.
False reporting of emergencies can
carry jail sentences of up to six months
and nes up to $1,000. In reports of high-
risk dangerous emergencies like the
report on Clipper Street, if serious injury
had resulted to anyone as a result of the
emergency response, fines of up to
$10,000 and incarceration of up to three
years may apply, according to Norris.
Inside the home, located at 3131
Humboldt Ave., authorities found explo-
sive materials and multiple rearms,
MacGregor said.
Basham was arrested in Sunnyvale
and remains in custody on suspicion of
threatening a public ofcial and various
crimes related to the explosives and
rearms, MacGregor said.
No charges have been led against
him yet, a district attorneys office
spokesman said Thursday morning.
CHP ofcials have had to detonate
some of the materials found at the home
on Humboldt Avenue, and MacGregor

TENTIAL BIDDERS If you are consider-
ing bidding on this property lien, you
should understand that there are risks in-
volved in bidding at a trustee auction.
You will be bidding on a lien, not on a
property itself. Placing the highest bid at
a trustee auction does not automatically
entitle you to free and clear ownership of
the property. You should also be aware
that the lien being auctioned off may be a
junior lien. If you are the highest bidder
at the auction, you are or may be respon-
sible for paying off all liens senior to the
lien being auctioned off, before you can
receive clear title to the property. You
are encouraged to investigate the exis-
tence, priority, and size of outstanding
liens that may exist on this property by
contacting the county recorder's office or
a title insurance company, either of
which may charge you a fee for this infor-
mation. If you consult either of these re-
sources, you should be aware that the
lender may hold more than one mort-
gage or deed of trust on the property.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER The
sale date shown on this notice of sale
may be postponed one or more times by
the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a
court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the
California Civil Code. The law requires
that information about trustee sale post-
ponements be made available to you and
to the public, as a courtesy to those not
present at the sale. If you wish to learn
whether your sale date has been post-
poned, and, if applicable, the resched-
uled time and date for the sale of this
property, you may call 1-800-281-8219
or visit this Internet Web site www.recon-
trustco.com, using the file number as-
signed to this case 12-0022638. Infor-
mation about postponements that are
very short in duration or that occur close
in time to the scheduled sale may not im-
mediately be reflected in the telephone
information or on the Internet Web site.
The best way to verify postponement in-
formation is to attend the scheduled sale.
