DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
An eight-story residential building
just proposed for downtown San Mateo
has some concerned about parking and
trafc while city ofcials are seeking
assurance it will provide a substantial
public benet .
The proposed Essex at Central Park
would cover the current surface parking
lot at the corner of East Fifth Avenue
and South San Mateo Drive with a
multi-use eight-story building, up to
75 feet tall with 117 rental units,
directly across from the park. The
rental cost of the one- and two-bed-
room apartments will probably range
between $2,000 to $3,000 per month
depending on the market, according to
a city staff report.
The developer Essex Property Trust
submitted a pre-application last
October that will be heard by the Parks
and Recreation Commission
Wednesday and by the Planning
Commission Feb. 25.
Essex has proposed providing 260
parking spaces spread between one
level of underground, ground level
and above-ground parking, and
3,500 square feet of retail space,
according to the report.
The public has been encouraged to
provide input, a neighborhood meet-
ing was held and the proposal is being
reviewed by the Parks and Recreation
Commission due to its proximity to
Central Park, said Julia Klein, associ-
ate planner for the city. Because this is
such a substantial project, the pre-
application will be extensively
reviewed before a nal application is
submitted, Klein said.
About 40 people presented concerns
and questions at a neighborhood meet-

117 rental units proposed for downtown San Mateo

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
For investors, February is starting
off even rougher than January.
U.S. stocks tumbled on Monday,
pushing the Dow Jones industrial aver-
age down more than 320 points after
reports of sluggish U.S growth added
to investor worries about the global
economy. It was
the biggest one-
day decline for
the blue-chip
index in more
than seven
months. And the
drop followed the
Dows worst
January perform-
ance since 2009.
The market stumbled from the get-
go, with U.S. stocks opening lower
after declines in European and
Japanese indexes. Then it quickly
turned into a slide as a spate of discour-
aging economic data on everything
from manufacturing to auto sales to
construction spending poured in.
By late afternoon, the sell-off accel-
erated further, bringing the Dow down
more than 7 percent for the year. The
S&P 500 index was down more than 5
percent for 2014.
Some stock watchers took the mar-
kets decline in stride. They considered
it a necessary recalibration following
the markets record highs at the end of
last year.
Its a bit painful for investors to see
the equities markets drop as they have,
but this is healthy for this market,
said Chris Gaffney, a senior market

Woman rescued from
storm drain in California
SAN RAFAEL Fireghters in the
San Francisco Bay Area say a home-
less woman had to be rescued from a
storm drain when runoff from a rain
storm began rushing into it.
The Marin Independent Journal
reports that the woman was heard cry-
ing for help in San Rafael on Sunday
morning. Workers at a nearby car
wash responded, but the drainage
cover was too heavy for them to lift,
so they called firefighters.
Four firefighters lifted the cover
and then deployed a ladder. The
woman, who was not identified, was
rescued a little after 8 a.m. and taken
to Marin General Hospital for a
checkup. A dog that was accompany-
ing her was taken by the Marin
Humane Society.
San Rafael Battalion Chief Paul
Crimmins said some homeless people
use the citys drainage system as a
place to sleep.
California man pulls
gun on girl selling cookies
TEMECULA Riverside County
sheriffs officials say a man was
arrested after pulling a gun on a girl
selling cookies door-to-door.
The Riverside Press-Enterprise says
deputies responded to a report of an
assault with a deadly weapon shortly
before noon on Sunday in Temecula.
The newspaper says the girl, whose
father witnessed the incident, was
going from house to house when she
knocked on John M. Dodrills door.
Police say the 59-year-old opened the
door and pointed a gun at the girl.
The girls father called the police,
and Dodrill was taken into custody
without incident. The gun was seized
for evidence.
Jail records show his bail was set at
$25, 000.
Car crashes into Los
Angeles convalescent home
LOS ANGELES Authorities say a
car crashed through the wall of a Los
Angeles convalescent home for sen-
iors, narrowly missing a patient in
bed.
Police Sgt. Kara Nightingale tells
City News Service the woman in bed
and the driver of the sedan both were
extricated by firefighters with heavy
rescue equipment.
Nightingale says the driver, an
employee of the facility in the Palms
area, accidentally backed through a
wall and a window late Sunday.
The crash was determined to have
been an accident so there was no
arrest. Officials did not say what
caused the accident.
The woman in bed and the driver
were transported to a hospital but were
apparently uninjured.
In Los Angeles suburb,
llama feces causes stink
LAHABRAHEIGHTS What began
as a stink over llama feces has escalat-
ed into a running battle that has
brought turmoil to a to a Los Angeles
suburb known for its quiet locale and
sprawling lots.
La Habra Heights sued Phil and Aida
Lough over a fertilizer that the couple
made from llama feces, saying animals
and open drums of animal waste at
their home were a stinky, unsanitary
mess. A Los Angeles Superior Court
judge agreed and ordered the Loughs to
stop producing their Llama Brew,
but that turned out to be only an open-
ing salvo between the town and the
couple, the Los Angeles Times
reports.
The Loughs and a handful of gadies
with their own agendas have filed
thousands of public records requests.
City Hall limited its public hours in
January because the nine full-time
employees were overwhelmed by daily
visits from the group. The citys
finance manager quit, saying she
couldnt take the stress.
City Council meetings often
devolve into yelling matches and
sometimes drag on for hours.
With a population of about 5,300,
the wealthy hillside community on the
Los Angeles County and Orange
County border prides itself on its avo-
cados and rural nature.

Competency questions have halted the
prosecution of a mental patient charged
with groping a nurse while being held on
allegations he inappropriately touched
three minors after walking away from a
psychiatric facility.
A judge suspended criminal proceedings
against Daniel Mark Brickman, 50, but not
until after he rst dismissed felony assault
and battery charges for allegedly ghting
with a security guard coming to the nurses
aid. Brickman is left facing a misdemeanor
sexual battery charge if court-appointed
doctors nd him mentally able to aid in his
own defense.
Brickmans competency had already been
questioned in the earlier touching case that
led to his being in San Mateo Medical
Centers psychiatric unit. The same doc-
tors reports will be used in both instances.
On Oct. 3, 2012, Brickman was arrested
after allegedly walking into a San Carlos
frozen yogurt shop and touching a 7-year-
old boys biceps and his 4-year-old sisters
face. When the mother
called for help, Brickman
reportedly ed and, out-
side the store, grabbed a
16-year-old girls but-
tocks. Brickman was sent
to the psychiatric unit
rather than the jail for
holding and 10 days later
allegedly exited his room
clad only in boxers and
refused a nurse order to
return.
Prosecutors say he lunged at the nurse
who went behind a computer terminal while
a second nurse repeated the order. He
allegedly pushed the second woman up
against the wall and groped her breast with
both hands. When a security guard pulled
him off her, they fell to the ground ghting
until others could control Brickman,
according to prosecutors.
The guard fractured his bula. The dis-
missed charges were led in connection to
the guards injuries. Prosecutors said previ-
ously that the now-dismissed felony assault
charge would send Brickman to a state men-
tal hospital rather than a local facility if he
were found incompetent for trial.
Brickman also has past alleged behavior
problems at the same psychiatric unit. Over
several weeks n February 2010 when
Brickman fondled and grabbed at three nurs-
es, used sexually coarse language toward
the staff and, on ve occasions, masturbat-
ed in public areas of the San Mateo Medical
Center psychiatric unit. On Feb. 25, 2010,
Brickman grabbed a 20-year-old female
psychiatric patient and attempted to sexual-
ly assault her until staff forcibly pulled him
off the woman, according to prosecutors.
In 2010, Brickman was convicted of inde-
cent exposure but the next year a judge and
prosecutors agreed to change it to a count of
annoying a minor so he could avoid sex
offender registration and he remained
housed in a locked psychiatric facility.
Brickman was housed in such a place but
later transferred to Cordilleras Mental
Health Center in Redwood City where he
eventually was placed in an unlocked por-
tion and reportedly went off his medication
and left, ending up in the San Carlos yogurt
shop.
He remains in custody. The doctor reports
are due back March 13.

State: Google must move mystery barge
SAN FRANCISCO Google must move its mystery
barge from a construction site on an island in the middle of
the San Francisco Bay because the permits are not in order,
a state ofcial said Monday
The notice came after the San Francisco Bay
Conservation and Development Commission investigated
numerous complaints about the construction of the oat-
ing, four-story building, commission executive director
Larry Goldzband said.
The investigation found that neither the Treasure Island
Development Authority nor the city of San Francisco had
applied for required permits for the work to be done at the
site.
Goldzband said Google can resolve the issue by moving
the barge to one of the fully permitted construction facili-
ties in the San Francisco Bay.
It needs to move, he said.
A Montara man is in jail for the
attempted murder of his mother Friday
night on the 900 block of Cedar Street,
according to the San Mateo County
Sheriffs Ofce.
At approximately 11:45 p. m. ,
deputies were dispatched on a report of
domestic violence when a woman
reported her adult son was on drugs and
had strangled her strangled her while
saying he was going to kill her,
according to the Sheriffs Ofce.
The woman escaped and ran to a
neighbors house to call 911 while the
suspect, identified as Keith
Christopher Miller, 25, ed on a dirt
bike into a wooded area, according to
the Sheriffs Ofce.
The woman was advised to not stay
at home until her son was arrested,

spotted him in the residence and tried
to arrest him by opening the front
glass door. Miller reportedly was
yelling incoherently and refused to
open the door. Deputies broke a win-
dow pane and tried to unlock the dead-
bolt, but he continually struck the
hand of the deputy, according to the
Sheriffs Ofce.
A K-9 unit was called and released
into the residence and detained Miller
as he was about to ee out the back
door, according to the Sheriffs Ofce.
The mother was treated on scene for
bruising consistent with strangulation
but refused medical transport to the
hospital, according to the Sheriffs
Ofce.

SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown
said Monday that a Republican effort in
Congress to address Californias
unprecedented drought is an unwel-
come and divisive intrusion in the
states efforts to address the crisis by
pitting water users against one another.
Brown, a Democrat, sent a letter
Monday to leadership of the House
Committee on Natural Resources and
Californias entire congressional dele-
gation asking them to oppose
HR3964, which is scheduled to be taken
up this week. The legislation, which is
sponsored by Californias Republican
congressional delegation, would allow
farmers to increase pumping from the
Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta
and create a House-Senate committee to
tackle water problems.
It would override state laws and pro-
tections, and mandate that certain water
interests come out ahead of others,
Brown wrote in his letter.
Gov. Brown calls congressional drought bill divisive
EXETER Aweek of freezing tem-
peratures in early December wiped out
nearly a quarter of Californias $2 bil-
lion citrus industry, an industry group
estimated on Monday.
The group, California Citrus Mutual,
said the damage was conned to the
states Central Valley, where about
$441 million in mandarin and navel
oranges and lemons were lost during
seven consecutive nights of freezing
temperatures in early December.
Consumers are likely to see at least a
slight increase in the price of oranges
at the grocery store and can expect a
shorter season for California citrus,
the group said.
Its a signicant loss, but most of
thats going to go to the growers bot-
tom line, said Bob Blakely, director
of industry relations for California
Citrus Mutual.

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

WASHINGTON Freed by a recent legal
deal with government lawyers, major tech-
nology rms released new data Monday on
how often they are ordered to turn over cus-
tomer information for secret national securi-
ty investigations gures that show that
the government collected data on thousands
of Americans.
The publications disclosed by Google,
Microsoft, Yahoo, Facebook, LinkedIn and
Tumblr provided expanded details and some
vented criticism about the governments han-
dling of customers Internet data in counter-
terrorism and other intelligence-related
probes. The gures from 2012 and 2013
showed that companies, such as Google and
Microsoft, were compelled by the govern-
ment to provide information on as many as
10,000 customer accounts in a six-month
period. Yahoo complied with government
requests for information on more than
40,000 accounts in the same period.
The companies earlier provided limited
information about government requests for
data, but a new agreement reached last week
with the Obama administration allowed the
rms to provide a broadened, though still cir-
cumscribed, set of gures to the public.
Seeking to reassure customers and business
partners alarmed by revelations about the
governments massive collection of Internet
and computer data, the rms stressed details
indicating that only small numbers of their
customers were targeted by authorities. Still,
even those small numbers showed that thou-
sands of Americans were affected by the gov-
ernment requests approved by judges of the
secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
Court.
The data releases by the ve major tech
rms offered a mix of dispassionate graphics,
reassurances and protests, seeking to allevi-
ate customer concerns about government
spying while pressuring national security
ofcials about the companies constitutional
concerns.

WASHINGTON Seeking to preserve
party unity in an election year, President
Barack Obama is trying to tamp down inter-
nal Democratic divisions on issues like
trade and energy, even as friendly lawmakers
show little restraint in publicly breaking
with the White House.
The president will hold separate meetings
this week with House and Senate Democrats,
where hes likely to face more pushback on
the Keystone XL pipeline and health care,
particularly from lawmakers who will face
voters in November. Obama also met
Monday with Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid, who has sharply opposed the presi-
dents proposal for letting Congress vote
quickly to approve international trade
pacts, though ofcials said the issue did not
come up during the meeting.
White House ofcials have tried to dis-
miss the intraparty divisions, saying
theyre aware of the election-year pressures
driving some Democrats to oppose Obama
on high-prole issues.
All of these folks got elected in the rst
place by being really strong advocates for
their states, said Dan Pfeiffer, Obamas
longtime adviser. And sometimes the inter-
ests of their individual state may be at odds
with the administration, but thats OK. They
have a job to do.

BANGKOK Anti-government protest-
ers in Thailand vowed Monday to stage larg-
er rallies in central Bangkok and push ahead
with efforts to nullify an election they dis-
rupted, preventing millions of people from
voting.
Despite fears of violence, voting proceed-
ed peacefully in 90 percent of polling sta-
tions Sunday. The protesters forced polling
booths to close in Bangkok and southern
Thailand, leaving some legislative seats
unlled. As a result, a series of special elec-
tions are required to complete the balloting,
extending the countrys political paralysis
for months.
Election results will not be announced
until all areas have successfully voted.
After sabotaging the election process, the
protesters and their allies said they will go
to court to try to get the polls nullied on
several grounds, including that they were
not completed in one day.
The opposition Democrat Party, which
backs the protesters and boycotted the vote,
said Monday it is studying other legal justi-
cations to invalidate the election as well.
The struggle to hold the balloting was
part of a 3-month-old conict that has split
the country between supporters of Prime
Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and oppo-
nents, who allege her government is too
corrupt to rule, and that she is a puppet of
her brother, ousted Prime Minister Thaksin
Shinawatra.
Thaksin, a billionaire businessman
who is the most divisive figure in modern
Thai history, fled into exile to avoid a
corruption conviction after being
deposed in a 2006 military coup.
The demonstrators have occupied major
intersections in Bangkok and forced gov-
ernment ministries to shut down and work
elsewhere.
We are not giving up the ght, protest
leader Suthep Thaugsuban said. Our mis-
sion is to keep shutting down government
ofces, so dont ask us to give those back.

WASHINGTON U.S. soldiers had high-
er morale and suffered fewer mental health
problems in Afghanistan last year as they
handed off more duties to Afghans and saw
less combat themselves, according to a
report released Monday.
The Army report was drawn from a battle-
eld survey and interviews in June and July.
It was the ninth time since the practice start-
ed in 2003 in Iraq that the service had sent a
team of mental health experts to the eld of
war to measure soldier mental health and
assess available care.
The report says rates of soldiers with
depression, anxiety and acute stress as
well as tendencies toward suicide were
lower than in the most recent previous sur-
veys.
In a survey of nearly 900 soldiers, 20.2
percent said last year that their morale was
high or very high, compared with 14.7 per-
cent and 16.3 percent in 2012 and 2010,
respectively. During those earlier survey
years, there were more U.S. troops in
Afghanistan 100,000 at the height of the
surge that started in 2010. Now, there are
about 34,000 U.S. troops.
The differences in individual morale in
2013 relative to 2010 and 2012 may reect
differences in combat experiences during
those 2 years ... years with the highest com-
bat experience levels of the war, said the
report by the ofce of the Army surgeon
general and command surgeons at U.S.
Central Command and in the Afghan war-
zone.
Last year, the U.S.-led international
forces in Afghanistan suffered the lowest
number of casualties in the past six years,
while Afghan security forces saw their
casualties mount as they took the lead in
the 12-year war against the Taliban.
According to an Associated Press tally,
U.S. deaths fell to 118 from 297 in 2012,
while casualties among Afghan army and
police rose to 2,767, up from 1,870 the
year before.

Al-Qaida breaks with Syria
group in mounting feud
CAIRO Al-Qaidas central leadership
broke with one of its most powerful branch
commanders in an apparent attempt to stem
the deadly inghting that has erupted in
Syria among the militant Islamic factions
trying to bring down President Bashar
Assad.
More broadly, the announcement Monday
appeared to be a move by al-Qaida leader
Ayman al-Zawahri to reassert the terror net-
works prominence in the jihad movement
across the Middle East amid the mushroom-
ing of extremist groups during the upheaval
of the past three years.
The dispute is between al-Qaidas central
leadership and a faction known as the
Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the head of al-
Qaidas branch in Iraq, formed the Islamic
State last spring to expand his operations
into neighboring Syria, defying direct
orders by al-Zawahri not to do so. Al-
Zawahri named a different group, the Nusra
Front, as al-Qaidas branch in Syria.

Letter to the editor
By Susan Manheimer
E
very day in San Mateo County,
people in our community are
bought and sold for prot. Unlike
our urban neighbors, we dont generally
see it on our street corners, but the
Peninsula is denitely a destination for
those being exploited by the sex trade. On
any given day, there are 25-30 prostitutes
advertising their services online in our
county. In many cases, prostitutes are
being sexually trafcked or pimped, and
some of these prostitutes are children.
Via the Internet, advertisements, phone
out-call services and storefront brothels,
prostitutes are delivered to our hotels,
motels and other venues. Many are sent by
those seeking to dominate and prot from
their sexual exploitation. You may conjure
up your own stereotypes about the Happy
Hooker, but we in law enforcement know
that the exact opposite is most often the
reality.
Each year in our country, an estimated
100,000 women and children are forcibly
exploited by others, and over one third of
them are minors, mostly girls.
Shockingly, the average age of entry into
prostitution is between 12-14. They are
often neglected or runaway youth targeted
by predators who sense their vulnerability
and dominate them by any and all means to
prostitute them for prot .
For anyone who believes that prostitu-
tion is a victimless crime make no mis-
take these children are often forced into
submission and servitude at an early age.
By the time they come into contact with
our ofcers, they are generally so hardened
and dependent upon their abusers that it is
very tough to extricate them from this bru-
tal existence and hold their trafckers
accountable.
Luckily, our state and federal legislators
have recognized this and given us some
new laws and resources to make it easier to
prosecute human trafckers for their
crimes, particularly
against minors.
Californias Proposition
35 increased prison terms
for human and sex traf-
cking and requires con-
victed sex trafckers to
register as sex offenders
and pay criminal nes to
assist victims.
U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo,
has led the charge in the Bay Area, chal-
lenging our criminal justice systems to
make this a top priority. Here in San Mateo
County, we have risen to that challenge,
and our County Police Chiefs and Sheriffs
Association has worked doggedly over this
past year to formulate a comprehensive
protocol and operational network to attack
human trafcking on the Peninsula.
Our Human Trafcking Protocol for Law
Enforcement provides guidelines and estab-
lishes standards for public safety call tak-
ers, dispatchers, rst responders and inves-
tigators in handling human trafcking
incidents. Our district attorney has dedicat-
ed resources to prosecute these cases.
While human trafcking takes many forms,
we are focused on domestic trafcking in
which people, especially minors, are
forced into prostitution.
The fact that suspected prostitutes may
be victims of human trafcking may not be
readily apparent to arresting ofcers. This
protocol seeks to assist law enforcement in
recognizing human trafcking in these
cases and protecting victims through train-
ing, special protocol and victims services.
Avictim-centered approach is critical to
rescue those embedded in these destructive
and exploitive activities. We are working
with our nonprot service partners and vic-
tims advocates to establish shelters and
incorporate trauma-informed protocol and
victim services to end the cycle of sexual
exploitation, particularly for minors.
In San Mateo County, the business of sex
trafcking has been taken indoors out of
the eyes of law enforcement. Hotels,
motels and certain storefront brothels are
at the epicenter of sex trafcking in the
Peninsula, and an important part of our
countywide protocol involves concerted
efforts focused on training and working
with our hospitality industry to stop this
victimization.
We have developed and are presenting
special training for our hospitality indus-
try across the county to enlist their help in
identifying and reporting these illicit
activities. The San Mateo and Foster City
police departments have partnered with the
San Mateo Area Chamber of Commerce to
host this training in San Mateo.
It is also important that our communities
understand and support these activities and,
throughout the next few months, we will be
engaged in a public awareness campaign
throughout the county to bring to light the
dangers associated with human trafcking.
Each and every community member can
help by being diligent and alert in looking
for signs of sexual trafcking or identify-
ing potential victims. Dont be hesitant to
contact your police we are well prepared
and ready to intervene victims lives
depend on it!
Human trafcking is modern-day slavery
in which human beings are bought and sold
for prot. Often compelled by force or fear,
these victims need us to intervene and
bring their trafckers to justice. San Mateo
County is now well positioned to do just
that, so please help us combat this epidem-
ic before its too late for those caught up in
this vicious cycle.
Susan Manheimer is the San Mateo police
chief and the immediate past president of the
San Mateo County Chiefs and Sheriff s
Association.
Remove food
trucks from near schools
Editor,
Our Redwood City public schools have
taken strong steps to provide for the health
of our children. The Redwood City
Elementary School District has restricted
what types of food and beverages can be
sold on school campuses. They have
improved the standards of what food is
served in our schools and they have provid-
ed nutrition education to our students and
their families. Partnerships with Redwood
Citys Parks and Recreation Department
and Sequoia Hospital, among others, pro-
mote a healthy and active lifestyle.
Despite these efforts, our children have
access to unhealthy, fat, sugary products
often immediately outside of our schools
thanks to predatory food trucks. Far from
the roaming ice cream trucks we knew as
children, these trucks set up shop on the
corners near our schools (especially near
school bus stops) for hours on end, acting
as hangouts and snack shops and serving
exactly the products are schools are work-
ing to teach our children to avoid. There are
no limitations on what products these
trucks can serve in proximity to the
schools and (unlike a traditional business)
no requirement that they clean their sur-
roundings at the close of business.
It is time for these trucks to be removed
from the immediate school area. If parents
choose to give their children these snacks,
that is their choice and their right. These
trucks, however, are targeting our children
as they leave our schools and are removing
the parents ability to make the choice of
what their children eat to say nothing of
how their children spend their money.
It is time for the Redwood City
Elementary School District and the city of
Redwood City to come together on behalf
of our children and remove these trucks
from the immediate school area.

Stopping the cycle of human trafficking
Driven to love
H
ey men, driven to nd a little love
(or at least a little action) just in
time for Valentines Day?
The best advice is to keep on trucking
literally. Anew survey from Insure.com
found the road rules of attraction dictate
that women like men who drive trucks and
men like women
who slide behind
the wheel of a
sports car. The
mid-life crisis set
might be able to
nally afford that
pricey convert-
ible and the earth-
friendly dudes
might get their
personal charge
from an electric
model. But
according to this
latest poll of 2,000 female and male driv-
ers, even if they have a face that wouldnt
stop trafc, a guy is better off pouring his
wallet and his machismo into a truck.
Black preferably. And a Ford.
Likewise, the damsels better set aside the
notion it doesnt matter what set of wheels
they arrive in as they show up and have a
heartbeat. The same survey on what cars
get women running hot concluded that men
think attractive females tend to drive red
BMWsports cars. Imagine the driveway of
that power couple made in automotive
heaven, not to mention the combined auto
payments.
The survey ranked several styles as cars
driven by attractive men. Not surprisingly,
minivans fell low at 2 percent. Quite sur-
prisingly, minivans for men were not dead
last. That honor fell to mail truck which
raises the question of Postal workers get
to take their vehicles home? followed by
Doesnt gainful employment by potential
dates count for anything? Of course, dis-
pelling that notion, UPS truck came in
least-but-not-last at 4 percent. One won-
ders if the occupation-associated uniforms
had anything to do with that outcome.
If a Black Ford pickup truck is out of the
question, guys were also perceived easy on
the eyes if they roll in a Chevrolet or
Porsche or a car colored silver or black.
Maybe the idea of a truck gets the wheels
of a womans heart turning because it
implies the object of affection could be in
it for the long haul. Or, at the very least,
come in handy when one needs a haul of
any length. Couches dont tend to t in a
two-seater.
Maybe guys get their internal motors
revved up over the sporty BMWbecause
its something theyre more likely to bor-
row in a pinch than a powder blue
Volkswagen Beetle, complete with girly
dashboard vase. Either that, or theyre
looking for someone who might actually
pick up the tab at dinner. Maybe women
driving green minivans the least attrac-
tive ladies, per the surveyors just dont
give off that same vibe.
Regardless of who drives what, the sur-
vey also found a couple of things that can
cut the engine on any relationship. An ash-
tray full of cigarette butts is a deal breaker
for both genders but women are more put
off by bad music and loud exhaust. Men can
apparently put up with those but think
political bumper stickers and car dents
spell a potentially bumpy road. And based
on the chilly reception by survey takers,
even those holding the title to the afore-
mentioned trucks and sports cars should
never, ever indulge in one vehicular adorn-
ment the pine tree air freshener.
So next time you peer at a couple and
wonder what the heck he or she sees in the
other, see if you can check out their key
chain or driveway. Chances are theyre a
true pick-up artist.

Big movers

WASHINGTON Janet Yellen offi-
cially took over the leadership of the
Federal Reserve on Monday and
along with it a delicate task:
Unwinding the Feds extraordinary
economic stimulus without spooking
investors or slowing a still-subpar
economy.
Yellen, the first woman to lead the
Fed in its 100 years, was sworn in dur-
ing a brief ceremony in the central
banks board room. She succeeded
Ben Bernanke, who stepped down last
week after eight momentous years.
Bernanke is joining the Brookings
Institution, a Washington think tank,
where he will be a distinguished fel-
low in residence, Brookings
announced Monday.
The economy Yellen inherits is far
stronger than the one Bernanke faced
in the fall of 2008, when the worst
financial crisis since the 1930s erupt-
ed. Bernanke spent the rest of his
tenure launching and managing an
array of programs that are widely cred-
ited with helping restore lending and
strengthen the financial system and
economy after the Great Recession.
Yellen, 67, who served as vice chair
under Bernanke, is taking over just as
the Fed has begun its first modest
moves to scale back its enormous
support for the economy. At a meet-
ing last week, the last under
Bernankes leadership, the Fed
approved a second $10 billion reduc-
tion in its monthly bond purchases to
$65 billion.
The first cut was announced at the
Feds December meeting, when it said
it would trim its purchases from $85
billion a month, the level for more
than a year. The Feds bond buying
has been intended to keep long-term
interest rates near record lows to stim-
ulate the economy.
But as the economy has improved,
Fed officials have decided it could
withstand less help. The Fed is
expected to keep reducing its bond
purchases this year and end them alto-
gether in December.
If the Fed moves too quickly to
withdraw its stimulus, it could spook
financial markets and send rates high-
er. Conversely, paring its bond buy-
ing too slowly could risk creating
bubbles that might burst in real
estate, stocks or other assets.

WASHINGTON From Turkey to South
Africa to Argentina, emerging markets are
being slammed by rising ination, econom-
ic mismanagement and political turmoil.
Overhanging it all is a nerve-jangling
unknown: Whether developing countries as
a group can withstand the end of the extraor-
dinary easy-money policies that central
banks have offered up for ve years.
The short answer: Atentative yes.
Many economists say theyre optimistic
that the troubles in emerging markets wont
infect the global economy as a whole. They
note that the biggest threats in the develop-
ing world are confined to modest-size
economies South Africa, Turkey,
Argentina that seem unlikely to do much
damage beyond their borders.
For one thing, emerging economies as a
group are far healthier than they were the
last time they were severely tested during
the Asian nancial crisis of the late 1990s.
Many have built up foreign currency
reserves they can use to buy their own cur-
rency and prop up its value. When the Asian
nancial crisis hit in 1997, emerging mar-
kets foreign reserves were equal to 9.9 of
their economic output. Many couldnt
defend their currencies. By last year, the per-
centage had risen to nearly 30 percent,
according to the Institute of International
Finance.
And the worlds richest economies the
United States and Europe appear to be
strengthening. As they do, theyll be more
likely to buy goods from developing coun-
tries, thereby cushioning the damage.
Some emerging markets have been hit
particularly hard, economists at BNP
Paribas wrote in a report last week.
However, it has only been some, so this is
not a widespread emerging-market crisis.
The International Monetary Fund expects
the global economy to grow 3.7 percent
this year, up from 3 percent in 2013. The
IMF forecasts that developing economies as
a whole will also grow faster in 2014 5.1
percent, up from 4.7 percent in 2013.
Still, the turmoil in emerging markets this
year has shaken global investors. So far
this year, Argentinas peso has dropped 19
percent, South Africas rand 7 percent and
Turkeys lira 6 percent. In response, the
Argentine, Turkish and South African central
banks have raised interest rates to try to curb
ination and support their free-falling cur-
rencies. The resulting turbulence has rattled
investors in the United States, too: Since
peaking Dec. 31, the Dow Jones industrial
average has tumbled 7 percent.
On Monday alone, the Dow sank 326
points, or 2.1 percent after a weak report on
U.S. manufacturing added to investors wor-
ries about the global economy.
Why have emerging market troubles
spooked investors in the United States and
Europe? In short, fear of the unknown.
After going to extraordinary lengths to
pump money into the nancial system after
a crisis hit in 2008, the Federal Reserve is
scaling back. The Feds bond buying had
pushed long-term U.S. rates down and sent
investors into emerging markets in search
of higher returns. Now that U.S. rates may
be poised to rise, the money is owing back
out, pressuring developing countries cur-
rencies and nancial markets.
Emerging markets turmoil likely to stay contained

WASHINGTON Your car might see
a deadly crash coming even if you
dont, the government says, indicating
it will require automakers to equip new
vehicles with technology that lets cars
warn each other if theyre plunging
toward peril.
The action, still some years off, has
game-changing potential to cut colli-
sions, deaths and injuries, federal trans-
portation ofcials said at a news confer-
ence on Monday.
A radio signal would continually
transmit a vehicles position, heading,
speed and other information. Cars and
light trucks would receive the same
information back from other cars, and a
vehicles computer would alert its driv-
er to an impending collision. Alerts
could be a ashing message, an audible
warning, or a drivers seat that rumbles.
Some systems might even automatical-
ly brake to avoid an accident if manu-
facturers choose to include that option.
Your car would see when another car
or truck equipped with the same tech-
nology was about to run a red light,
even if that vehicle was hidden around a
corner. Your car would also know when
a car several vehicles ahead in a line of
trafc had made a sudden stop and alert
you even before you saw brake lights
The technology works up to about 300
yards.
If communities choose to invest in
the technology, roadways and trafc
lights could start talking to cars, too,
sending warnings of trafc congestion
or road hazards ahead in time for drivers
to take a detour.
The technology is separate from
automated safety features using sensors
and radar that are already being built
into some high-end vehicles today and
which are seen as the basis for future
self-driving cars. But government and
industry ofcials see the two technolo-
gies as compatible.
Car-to-car talk: Hey, look out for that collision!
Tech firms disclose
more info about U.S. snooping
Five major technology companies have released previ-
ously condential information that conrms the U.S.
government has been snooping on the digital lives of
thousands of people in the name of national security.
The disclosures made Monday cover secret court orders
demanding the emails and other online activities of peo-
ple using the services of Google Inc., Yahoo Inc.,
Facebook Inc., Microsoft Corp. and LinkedIn Corp.
Its the rst time that the companies have been able to
disclose the volume of U.S. government orders approved
by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that mon-
itors spying programs set up to sniff out potential terror-
ist plots.
The companies still arent being allowed to provide
many details. They are only disclosing the number of
users affected by the FISAorders in broad ranges.

DALLAS Southwest Airlines says
it will start nonstop flights from
Dallas to New York, Los Angeles,
Washington and 12 other cities this
fall, when federal limits on the air-
lines home airport end.
The new service pits the onetime

Southwest announced Monday that it
will y from Love Field to ve cities
starting Oct. 13 and 10 more on Nov.

Those routes are currently off-limits
to Southwests Boeing 737 jets
because of a 1980 law designed to pro-

Healthy again, Bogut showing up big for GS Dubs
Super Bowl
afterthoughts
By Antonio Gonzalez
OAKLAND At the beginning of train-
ing camp, Andrew Bogut set a goal to play
all 82 regular-season games and regain his
place among the NBAs best centers.
Hes on pace to come awfully close.
With his health no longer holding him
back, Bogut has been a force in the middle
for the Golden State Warriors (29-19) enter-
ing Tuesday nights home game against the
Charlotte Bobcats. He ranks near the top of
the league in blocks, rebounds and defen-
sive ratings, and he has
begun to silence the chat-
ter that hes a player who
is always hurt.
I havent felt this
great in while, Bogut
said after Mondays prac-
tice, then quickly asking
not to jinx his good for-
tune.
Touch wood, he said.
The 7-footer from Australia, who has a
well-documented history of injuries, has
played in 47 of 48 games with his lone
absence stemming from a suspension hand-
ed down by the NBA for his role in a scrum
against Portland. Bogut had played in only
44 games the past two seasons combined.
Boguts presence has been especially big
considering his primary backups, Jermaine
ONeal and Festus Ezeli, have been out most
of the season.
Hes been spectacular, protecting the
paint, setting screens, rebounding the bas-
ketball, being a leader, being durable,
Warriors coach Mark Jackson said. If hes
not here, youre asking basically a power
forward to be a (center), and to do it for a
lengthy period of time is a recipe for disas-
ter. But hes been awesome, and certainly
should be in the discussion for Defensive
Player of the Year.
The Warriors took a big risk by signing
Bogut to a three-year, $36 million exten-
sion in October that could be worth up to
about $42 million with incentives. They
also took a gamble when they acquired
A
nother football season is nally
in the books and it ended with a
clunker Sunday when the Seattle
Seahawks manhandled the Denver Broncos
in Super Bowl XLVIII.
The only real reason to watching at that
point was to see how thorough the beating
would be. At the end of the third quarter, I
was oating the idea the Broncos could be
shut out.
Here are some other observations I came
away with following
Sundays game:
Defense does,
indeed, win champi-
onships. Put this
years Seattle defense
into the conversation
of most dominating
defenses in NFL histo-
ry. Like the 1985
Chicago Bears or the
1990 San Francisco
49ers, the 2013 edi-
tion of the Seahawks
defense was at its best
in the Super Bowl. With all eyes on them,
the Seahawks all but shut down Denvers
record-setting offense.
Malcolm Smith, who improved his Q
rating after intercepting Richard Shermans
batted ball in the NFC Championship
game, was named Super Bowl MVP, the
third linebacker to receive that honor.
Smith did it all defensively. Not only did
he help stop Denvers vaunted offense with
nine tackles, he helped the offense as well
with an interception return for a touchdown
along with a second-half fumble recovery.
Just the sheer ferocity of Seattles
defense, as a unit, was something to see.
The Seahawks punished every ball carrier
they encountered.
Seahawks win means even more trouble
for the rest of the NFL. Especially the San
Francisco 49ers. The one knock on the
Seahawks was they were lights out at
home, but average on the road. By winning

Up until last week, if you had asked
Chandler Wickers and the rest of the Menlo
Knights girls soccer team about their rst
game against Sacred Heart Prep this year,
theyd tell you a tale of dissatisfaction.
Sure, on paper the game went down as a
draw no warm done, right?
Well, not really.
Coming off of that tie against them the
last game, I think we realized we had a such
a good chance, especially playing at home
the second game, Wickers said. And we
knew this was the only way we were going
to win league beat Sacred Heart. Knowing
that this was our chance that really ener-
gized the team.
It was an insatiable hunger to build off
that positive yet disappointing result that
fueled Wickers and the rest of the Knights
last week.
We sat down and were able to put out
some good goals, Wickers said. We de-
nitely wanted to win a lot of the 50-50
balls. We felt we werent really doing well
in the middle. I think the second game, we
did a better job of winning balls in the mid-
dle because thats where their strength was
and we knew we needed to counter that this
game.
The game plan for last week wasnt just
talk for Wickers, who is having a terric all-
around season for the Knights. Surrounded
by a group of talented players, Wickers
week stood out as the most balanced in what
was a 3-0 stretch for the Knights. In three
matches the middle being a huge win
over SHP Wickers found the net in every
single one of them. She also notched a pair
of assists to help keep the Knights atop the
West Bay Athletic League standings as the
only unbeaten squad.
For her efforts, Wickers is the Daily
Journal Athlete of the Week.
I have been in CCS games that havent
been as emotional as that, Wickers said
Skyline Baseball dropped its season
opener Monday with a 7-0 loss at Laney
College.
The Trojans managed just four hits, get-
ting no-hit from the fourth inning on, as
Laney starting pitcher Keith Britton earned
the win in his rst collegiate appearance.
Britton worked seven shutout innings,
allowing four hits while striking out two
against one walk. The right-hander retired
the last 11 batters he faced until giving way
to the Laney bullpen.
Skyline sophomore Bryan Hidalgo took
the hard-luck loss. The right-hander worked
four innings, allowing four runs though
only one run was earned. He allowed three
hits while striking out two against one
walk, one balk, and one wild pitch. The
Trojans defense committed ve errors in the
game, all of which led to run-scoring
innings for the Eagles.
Things were looking promising for the
Trojans early as they loaded the bases with
one out in the rst inning. However, soph-
omore Dabian Canales hit a one-out seed at
Laney shortstop Samuel Nieves to start a 6-
4-3 double play to end the threat. Skyline
would see just one other base runner reach
scoring position in the game.
Laney had two batters reach base a total of
eight times in the game. Keenan Britton
reached in all four plate appearances,
despite going 0 for 3. Blanson also reached
in all four plate appearances while going 2
for 3.
Skyline freshman center elder Michael
Franco had a notable debut for the Trojans,
going 2 for 4 while reaching on bunt sin-
gles in each of his rst two at bats, includ-
ing a picturesque bunt single on the rst
pitch of his collegiate career in the rst
inning. Freshman leadoff hitter Nobu
Suzuki was 1 for 3 with a walk in his debut,
and was robbed of a hit in the fth on a

Over the nal couple weeks of the 2013
football season, Sacred Heart Preps Ben
Burr-Kirven forced his way into the state
spotlight by playing the best football of
his life.
And as he prepares for his senior season,
the rst of many awards to come has already
arrived.
The SHP linebacker and running back was
named to the All-Cal-Hi Sports football
team earning a spot as a rst team defend-
er.
All-Cal-Hi Sports said of the 6-2, 205-
pound junior: Yes, hes from a small
school and hes a junior but Burr-Kirven
simply forced his way to be rst team all-
state on the defensive side of the ball. He
had 200 tackles on the season, including 16
in the D3 state bowl game against Corona
del Mar and 17 in a big win over El Cerrito
(featuring all-state pick Adarius Pickett). He
also was the San Jose Mercury-News Player
of the Year, which also was based on him
averaging 9.2 yards per carry as a running
back. He wasnt Small Schools Player of the
Year (Mendotas Edgar Segura was) but it
was a close call. We couldnt put Segura rst
team among the running backs or multi-pur-
pose (he is second team) but decided there
was room for Ben on rst team defense.
Burr-Kirven wasnt the only local repre-
sentative on the Cal-Hi team.
Serras Hamilton Anoai was named to the
third team as an all-purpose player. Anoai
was the West Catholic Athletic League
Player of the Year.
Terra Novas Nick Pierotti was named to
the Second Team Medium Schools defense.
The linebacker won a share of the Defensive
Player of Year honors in the Peninsula
Athletic League.
Burr-Kirvens teammate Patrick Finnigan
was named to the All-State Small Schools
offense rst team for his play on the Gators
offensive line.
His Menlo rival, quarterback Jack
Heneghan, earned a Second Team Small
Schools multi-purpose nod.
Three more Serra Padres, Kava Cassidy,
Jack Dreyer and Brandon Monroe, were also
named to separate teams third team All-
Juniors and All-sophomores squads respec-
tively.
The Honor Roll is also about how an ath-
lete shines off the eld.
In David Balls case, the senior was hon-
ored for his exemplary sportsmanship.
Ball, a senior at Menlo School, has won
the USTABill Talbert Junior Sportsmanship
Award for his honorable tournament play
during the season, and three other Menlo
students were nalists.
Chosen among all junior players nation-
wide, Ball is one of four winners who will be
honored in a ceremony during the
International Hall of Fame weekend in
Rhode Island July 11-13.
In an unprecedented showing, Menlo had
four nalists for the award: Vikram Chari,
Lane Leschly and girls tennis CCS champi-
on Elizabeth Yao. The last winner from
Menlo was Balls brother Andrew (2011),
who now plays for Harvard.
Presented annually by the Board of
Directors of the International Tennis Hall of
Fame, the award honors four recipients
selected from the 17 sectional nominations
of the United States Tennis Association
awards committee. The USTA Northern
Section solicited nominations from tourna-
ment directors, ofcials and coaches and,
this year, the section asked for selections
for junior players, as well.
Each winner is a junior player who exem-
plies the nest qualities of sportsmanship
in tournament play, as well as one who
maintains the nest traditions of the great
sportsmen/women of tennis, past and pres-
ent. The award is given in honor of 1967
Hall of Famer Bill Talbert, who was regarded
for his high standards of sportsmanship.
David Ball was no surprise to me for win-
ning this award, Menlo coach Bill Shine
said via school release. During that time he
has always placed the team and the goals of
the team before his own.
Elsewhere on the Honor Roll, Sabrina
Miller of Carlmont basketball has emerged
over the last few games as a complement to
Anisah Smith. Miller combined for 24
points in wins over Burlingame and
Woodside last week. And, speaking of
Smith, she continues to ll up the scoring
column. She dropped 27 on Burlingame and
went for 17 against Woodside.
Staying with Carlmont, Michael Costello
of the boys team, lit up Burlingame for 24
points in a loss to the Panthers, draining
four 3-pointers in the process.
Over on the soccer pitch, Ayo Agunbiade
of Crystal Springs soccer helped lead the
Gryphons to a pair of wins last week as they
evened their West Bay Athletic League
record at 4-4. Agunbiade scored twice in a 5-
1 win over Pinewood and added a goal and an
assist in a 5-1 victory over Eastside Prep.
Also in Hillsborough, Ally Solorzano of
the girls soccer team, scored a pair of goals
in a win and a tie for the Gryphons last
week. She had one in a 6-1 win over Mercy-
San Francisco and scored the equalizer
against Mills, before the Vikings pulled out
a 2-1 win.
Over in PAL soccer, Salvador Herrera of
Woodside soccer was responsible for a pair
of goals off of set pieces in two ties last
week. During a 2-2 tie with Menlo-
Atherton, Herrera bent a free kick around the
wall and past the goalkeeper from about 21
yards for the Wildcats second goal. In a 4-4
tie with San Mateo, Herrera converted a
penalty.
That draw with the Bearcats was crazy.
And San Mateos Alejandro Mendoza was a
big reason why. After sitting out the rst
half for disciplinary reasons, Mendoza
came on in the second half and helped spark
a four-goal outburst that forced a 4-4 tie with
Menlo-Atherton. Mendoza had a foot in
three of the Bearcats goals. His free kick
hit the crossbar and fell to the foot of Rony
Guzman. Mendoza scored his teams second
goal and assisted on a Tyler Mucci strike.
Honor Roll leads with another Burr-Kirven highlight

in the ultimate road trip of the year, they
proved they have all the pieces to be a seri-
ous contender for the next several seasons
and, in this day and age, that qualies as a
dynasty.
Dont sleep on the Seattle offense.
Running back Marshawn Lynch gets a lot
of the accolades in Seattles perceived run-
rst offense. But this is Russell Wilsons
team now and, despite some sub-par per-
formances in the playoffs, Wilson ran that
offense to perfection Sunday. His biggest
asset? Extending drives. It seemed every
time the Seahawks faced a third down,
Wilson was there, completing a pass to
pick up the rst drive and keep it alive.
Seattle marched up and down the eld near-
ly all game long, with Wilson orchestrat-
ing every move.
Can we all agree Denvers Peyton
Manning is the greatest regular-season
quarterback of all time? Manning was
named the NFLs MVP as well as Offensive
Player of the Year Saturday night, the
record fth MVP of his stellar career.
That career will undoubtedly be star-
crossed as, more often than not, he comes
up short in the biggest games of the year.
He will always have the one Super Bowl he
won with the Indianapolis Colts and his
teams will continue to be one of the best in
the NFL. But his sub-.500 postseason
record will always be the asterisk next to
him.
People love the Super Bowl. Period.
Despite being a dog of a game, people by
the millions watched it, apparently to the
bitter end. Early returns has it the fth
most-watched Super Bowl in history. If it
was just a regular season Sunday game, I
would have turned the channel after the rst
quarter. The only reason I stuck around was
to see how truly bad the beating would be.
Never would have thought Manning would
be so thoroughly shut down, but, see entry
above.

SEATTLE For a city accustomed to los-

vided a long overdue catharsis, buoying the

championship T-shirts and hats, parents
made plans to pull their kids out of school
for Wednesdays parade, and staff at The
Seattle Times donned aprons to help hawk
some of the extra 106,000 copies printed
with Champs! emblazoned on the front
page.
I spent a little bit of money this morn-
ing, but its priceless, said Julie Keim, who
bought 11 shirts at $28 apiece and 11 hats at
$35 apiece for the staff at her maritime-
training school in the north Seattle suburb
of Edmonds. Theres so many players to be
proud of on this team.
The Seahawks returned Monday evening
to Sea-Tac Airport, with players exiting the
plane to cheers.

Tuesday with a 2 p.m. rst pitch against

Caada off to 3-0 start
Last season, Caada center elder Maurice
Fuller enjoyed a solid freshman year as the
Colts leadoff hitter, notching a .282 bat-
ting average with 29 hits.
Through Caadas rst three games this
season, Fuller is nearly a quarter of the way
to reaching his 2013 hits total. The sopho-
more opened the season with back-to-back
multi-hit games and is 7 for 11 on the year
to lead the Colts to a 3-0 start through three
games against Contra Costa. According to
Caada manager Tony Lucca, it is the best
start to a season of his managerial career.
The Colts swept a doubleheader Saturday,
taking the opener 5-4 before waltzing to an
8-1 win in the seven-inning nightcap. In
Fridays season opener, Fuller went 4 for 5
as Caada banged out 13 hits in an 8-1 win.
Were aggressive at the plate which is
something that is nice to see, Lucca said.
Were maybe a little too aggressive right
now. Were trying to hit every single ball
out of the ballpark. Chalk it up to open-
ing-weekend jitters. Were just a little bit
too amped.
Lucca praised Fullers defense in center
eld, however the rest of the Colts defense
has struggled. Caada has committed 10
errors on the season thus far, including six
in Saturdays doubleheader opener.
Fuller is one of three Coast Conference
players tied for second in Northern
California with seven hits.
Next up for the Colts is a Friday matchup
with Chabot at Caada, in what Lucca said
will be a good test.

Sports Brief
By Josh Dubow
SAN JOSE Matt Read, Michael Raf and
Claude Giroux scored in a span of 2:45 early
in the third period to erase a one-goal decit
and lead the Philadelphia Flyers past San Jose
5-2 on Monday night for their rst win over
the Sharks since 2000.
Mark Streit and Jacob Voracek also scored
and Steve Mason made 20 saves for the
Flyers, who had 11 losses and two ties in the
series since beating the Sharks on Dec. 21,
2000.
Sharks rookie Matt Nieto scored twice in
the rst period for his rst career multigoal
game, but that lead was erased in a ash early
in the third period when Antti Niemi was sent
to the bench as San Jose lost for the fourth
time in ve games.
The Sharks have just four goals in those
ve games but were in position to get the win
before the Flyers took advantage of shaky
goaltending by Niemi and lackluster overall
play from San Jose to set a franchise record
with their 10th win this season when trailing
in the third period.
Read started the onslaught when his shot
on the rush deected off defenseman Matt
Irwins stick to tie the game 1:11 into the
third.
The Flyers took the lead just 1:18 later
when Niemi gave up a big rebound on Erik
Gustafssons point shot that went right to
Raf in the slot.
A neutral-ice turnover by Irwin led to
Girouxs 18th goal on a shot that deected off
Niemis glove, stunning the home crowd
1:27 after Philadelphia took the lead.
Giroux also set up Voraceks late goal that
sealed the win, nishing the game with a goal
and two assists.
The Flyers had controlled play since the
rst period but were unable to get the equaliz-
er until early in the third. Niemi made a nice
save early in the second against Wayne
Simmonds, and Scott Hartnell and Gustafsson
each missed the net on good chances later in
the period.
The Sharks almost extended their lead on a
late power play but Mason robbed Brent
Burns with a glove save to keep San Joses
lead at 2-1 heading into the third.
The teams traded power-play goals early in
the rst period, with Streit scoring on a point
shot through a screen by Simmonds after
Nieto was called for hooking in the offensive
zone.
Nieto more than made up for his transgres-
sion the rest of the period. With Nicklas
Grossmann in the box for hooking, Irwin
shot the puck into the corner from his own
blue line.
Bogut in a trade-deadline deal in
March 2012 that sent guard Monta
Ellis to Milwaukee.
Bogut did not play for Golden
State that season while recovering
from a fractured left ankle. Bogut
battled back and knee injuries
while averaging a career-low 5.8
points to go with 7.7 rebounds
last season, but he was at his best
in the playoffs, making a major
difference on defense to help the
Warriors advance to the second
round.
Bogut missed the end of the
2009-10 season with the Bucks
when he dislocated his right
elbow, sprained his right wrist and
broke his right hand in a hard fall
to the oor. He also missed signif-
icant time with an injured lower
back in the 2008-09 season.
Bogut has repeatedly called both
injuries freak accidents.
People that label me injury-
prone, its fair enough, I under-
stand it, Bogut said. But to say
that theyre chronic injuries,
those people are idiots. Two
injuries that have hurt my career
and probably shortened the length
of my career and probably a little
bit of my playing ability are com-
pletely out of my control.
Even still, the setbacks have
taken a toll physically and
mentally. At one point while
rehabbing his ankle last season,
Bogut said he was in a dark place
and even considered retirement.
Instead, Golden States surpris-
ing playoff run and his big role
in it left him rejuvenated. He
lost about 15 pounds this offsea-
son, and the only real injury scare
cost him some practice time in
January after he strained his right
knee.
Bogut is averaging 10.6
rebounds and two blocks per
game, and he has the NBAs third-
best defensive rating which is
calculated by how many points are
given up per 100 possessions
while a player is on the oor.
Offense is still something that
has eluded Bogut since his elbow
injury, though on a Golden State
team stacked with shooters, hes
not asked to score much.
Bogut is averaging 8.2 points,
which is sixth on the team, but he
leads the Warriors with 64 percent
shooting with most of his
points coming on pick-and-roll
dunks or put-back rebounds. Hes
also rediscovering his passing
ability once considered among
the best for NBAs centers late-
l y, including tying his season
high with ve assists in Fridays
win at Utah.
Hes talented, man, point
guard Stephen Curry said. Its not
often you see a big man get the
rebound, push in transition,
change directions a couple times,
read the defense and make behind-
the-back passes and one-handed
passes for a backdoor cut. That cre-
ativity he has, Ive rarely seen it
for a guy his size.

Andrew Bogut scores a basket in a dominating win over the Clippers.
about that SHP win. It was de-
nitely a crazy game because it was
so close and a lot of our games
havent been close so being in a
game that was so incredibly close
and were ghting so hard, it was
denitely exciting.
The win was much sweeter con-
sidering the hard work that led up
to it and the momentum that con-
tinued after.
Prior to the mid-week W, Menlo
used a 5-0 shelling of The Kings
Academy to get the offensive ball
rolling. They then carried that into
that SHP game and used it again in
a 3-0 win against Notre Dame-San
Jose.
We were able to nish and get it
done when we had to, Wicker said.
We had a lot of good momentum
coming up to that game against
Sacred Heart so that that really put
up in a good place before that
game. We were able to nish well
through that week.
We decided in the second half
that we really needed to start play-
ing on the ground and to each
others feet, Wickers said of that
TKAwin. The rst half was pretty
sloppy and we realized that we
needed to string passes quickly and
effectively to beat their defense
because it was pretty good. And I
think we really came alive in the
second half and thats why we were
able to dominate through.

WHATS ON TAP

LOCAL/NATION
During the five-day trial period,
which ends Friday, Google vessels
will leave Harbor Bay in Alameda each
morning and ferry passengers to
Redwood City, according to the trans-
portation authority, which oversees
San Francisco Bay Ferry service.
Last month, Google started a similar
trial ferrying its employees between
San Francisco and Redwood City. That
ve-week trial also ends this Friday.
WETA executive director Nina
Rannells said in a statement that the
transportation authority has a long-
term strategic plan for expanding
ferry service in San Francisco Bay,
and that the Google ferry service will
complement the public ferry services.
Based on how smoothly the service
runs, the private ferry has the poten-
tial to become a permanent option for
Google employees living in the East
Bay and commuting to the companys
headquarters in Mountain View.
Google has agreed to pay WETA
$275 per landing. In an effort not to
disrupt regular commuters, Google
ferry riders will also not be allowed to
park in the Harbor Bay ferry parking
lot or on adjacent neighborhood
streets.
Google will provide off-site parking
and a shuttle service for its employ-
ees.
The Google ferry service is not
expected to impact the normal San
Francisco Bay Ferry schedule, WETA
ofcials said.
The ferry services come as Google
and other tech companies have faced
criticism for private commuter buses
in San Francisco that housing advo-
cates say have led to higher costs of
living in the city and cause delays for
public bus service.

strategist at EverBank. Weve been
almost 2-1/2 years without a 10 percent
correction.
All told, the Dow dropped 326.05
points, or 2.1 percent, to close at
15,372.80, its biggest decline since
June 20, 2013. The Standard & Poors
500 index lost 40.70 points, or 2.3
percent, to 1,741.89. The Nasdaq com-
posite dropped 106.92 points, or 2.6
percent, to 3,996.96.
There were signs of worry throughout
the market. The VIX index, a measure of
stock market volatility, rose to its
highest level since December 2012.
Investors shifted into U.S. government
bonds, pushing yields lower and
extending their sharp decline since the
start of the year.
Staffing company Robert Half
International declined the most among
stocks in the S&P 500 index. CarMax
and Pzer were among the few stocks to
eke out gains on the day.
Cold U.S. weather emerged as com-
mon problem for the economy last
month.
Investors were discouraged Monday
by a private survey showing U.S. man-
ufacturing barely expanded last month
as frigid temperatures delayed ship-
ments of raw materials and caused some
factories to shut down. Construction
spending rose modestly in December,
slowing from healthy gains a month
earlier.
Automakers also piled on the disap-
pointing news, as an icy January
slowed vehicle purchases.
Ford shares slipped 41 cents, or 2.7
percent, to $14.55 and General Motors
shares fell 83 cents, or 2.3 percent, to
$35.25 after the automakers reported a
drop in U.S. January sales, hurt by
harsh weather that kept customers away
from dealerships.
GM sales fell 12 percent, while Ford
said sales fell 7 percent. Chrysler
bucked the trend with U.S. sales gains
of 8 percent, and analysts still expect
U.S. auto sales to reach more than 16
million this year a return to pre-
recession levels.
Investors had expectations going
into 2014 of a much stronger U.S. eco-
nomic recovery than actually what
were seeing and weve had to reset our
expectations, Gaffney said.
Fresh signs of weakness in China
also weighed on the minds of investors.
An ofcial Chinese manufacturing
survey released over the weekend
showed factory output grew at a slower
rate in January compared with
December. The report released on the
weekend followed an HSBC survey that
showed an outright contraction in man-
ufacturing.
Any signs of slowdown in Chinas
economy the worlds second-largest
can spell bad news because it drives
exports and is a key trading partner for
developing countries such as South
Africa and Indonesia that supply
Chinese factories with raw materials.
Investors have been looking for
more pullbacks this year and possibly a
correction, the technical term for when
a stock market index like the S&P 500
falls 10 percent or more. Three months
ago, analysts at Goldman Sachs said
there was roughly a 60 percent chance
that a correction would happen this
year.
Mondays slide moved the market
closer to that possibility.
Among other negative signs for the
market: In 2013, the Dow had only one
300-point-plus down day. Its had two
300-plus drops in 2014, barely two
months in.
I think we are in correction phase
and the bias will be to the downside for
a while longer, said Frank Davis,
director of trading at LEK Securities. It
would make sense to see a healthy pull-
back after last year. Air has to come out
of the market.
All 10 sectors in the S&P 500 index
fell, and telecommunications stocks
posted the biggest declines, weighed
down by AT&T and Verizon
Communications.
Mattel fell $1.79, or 4.7 percent, to
$36.05. The worlds largest maker of
toys reported on Friday that sales of
Barbie and Fisher-Price preschool
items dropped in its fourth quarter.
Also among the decliners: Jos. A
Bank Clothiers, which fell $2.83, or 5
percent, to $53.39 on continued doubts
that a takeover bid by rival clothier
Mens Wearhouse will go through. The
two retailers have been dueling since
October when Jos. A. Bank offered $2.3
billion for Mens Wearhouse.
Afew stocks posted gains.
Pzer rose 20 cents, or 0.7 percent,
to $30.60, after the company reported
that a mid-stage study of an experimen-
tal drug for advanced breast cancer met
the main goals. The drug is seen as a
potential huge seller. Pzer was the
only stock to rise among the 30 mem-
bers of the Dow.
Facing lower stocks and global jit-
ters, investors moved into the relative
safety of U.S. government bonds. Bond
prices rose, and the yield on the U.S.
10-year Treasury note fell to 2.58 per-
cent from 2.65 percent on Friday. The
10-year has had a dramatic move in the
last two weeks. In mid-January, the 10-
year note was trading at a yield around
2.9 percent.

Man says he ate birds, turtles in 13 months adrift
WELLINGTON, New Zealand Its a story that almost
dees belief: Aman leaves Mexico in December 2012 for a
day of shark shing and ends up surviv-
ing 13 months on sh, birds and turtles
before washing ashore on the remote
Marshall Islands thousands of miles
(kilometers) away.
But thats what a man identifying him-
self as 37-year-old Jose Salvador
Alvarenga told the U.S. ambassador in
the Marshall Islands and the nations
officials during a 30-minute meeting
Monday before he was taken to a local
hospital for monitoring. Alvarenga washed ashore on the
tiny atoll of Ebon in the Pacic Ocean last week before
being taken to the capital, Majuro, on Monday.
Its hard for me to imagine someone surviving 13
months at sea, said Ambassador Tom Armbruster in Majuro.

Twenty-one percent of gay or bisexual boys said they had
ever used steroids, versus 4 percent of straight boys.
By Lindsey Tanner
CHICAGO Could too much sugar
be deadly? The biggest study of its
kind suggests the answer is yes, at
least when it comes to fatal heart prob-
lems.
It doesnt take all that much extra
sugar, hidden in many processed
foods, to substantially raise the risk,
the researchers found, and most
Americans eat more than the safest
amount.
Having a cinnamon roll with your
morning coffee, a super-sized sugary
soda at lunch and a scoop of ice cream
after dinner would put you in the high-
est risk category in the study. That
means your chance of dying premature-
ly from heart problems is nearly three
times greater than for people who eat
only foods with little added sugar.
For someone who normally eats
2,000 calories daily, even consuming
two 12-ounce cans of soda substantial-
ly increases the risk. For most
American adults, sodas and other sug-
ary drinks are the main source of added
sugar.
Lead author Quanhe Yang of the U.S.
Centers of Disease Control and
Prevention called the results sobering
and said its the rst nationally repre-
sentative study to examine the issue.
Scientists arent certain exactly how
sugar may contribute to deadly heart
problems, but it has been shown to
increase blood pressure and levels of
unhealthy cholesterol and triglyc-
erides; and also may increase signs of
inammation linked with heart dis-
ease, said Rachel Johnson, head of the
American Heart Associations nutri-
tion committee and a University of
Vermont nutrition professor.
Yang and colleagues analyzed
national health surveys between 1988
and 2010 that included questions about
peoples diets. The authors used
national death data to calculate risks of
dying during 15 years of follow-up.
Overall, more than 30,000 American
adults aged 44 on average were
involved.
Previous studies have linked diets
high in sugar with increased risks for
non-fatal heart problems, and with
obesity, which can also lead to heart
trouble. But in the new study, obesity
didnt explain the link between sugary
diets and death. That link was found
even in normal-weight people who ate
lots of added sugar.
Too much sugar does not just make
us fat; it can also make us sick, said
Laura Schmidt, a health policy special-
ist at the University of California, San
Francisco. She wrote an editorial
accompanying the study in Mondays
JAMAInternal Medicine.
The researchers focused on sugar
added to processed foods or drinks, or
sprinkled in coffee or cereal. Even
foods that dont taste sweet have added
sugar, including many brands of pack-
aged bread, tomato sauce and salad
dressing. Naturally occurring sugar, in
fruit and some other foods, wasnt
counted.
Most health experts agree that too
much sugar isnt healthy, but there is
no universal consensus on how much
is too much.
U.S government dietary guidelines
issued in 2010 say empty calories
including those from added sugars
should account for no more than 15
percent of total daily calories.
The average number of daily calories
from added sugar among U.S. adults
was about 15 percent toward the end of
the study, slightly lower than in previ-
ous years.
The authors divided participants into
ve categories based on sugar intake,
from less than 10 percent of daily calo-
ries the safest amount to more
than 25 percent.
Sugar tied to fatal heart
woes; sodas a big culprit
Steroid use much
higher among gay
and bi teen boys
By Lindsey Tanner
CHICAGO Gay and bisexual teen boys use illicit
steroids at a rate almost six times higher than do straight
kids, a dramatic disparity that points up a need to reach
out to this group, researchers say.
Reasons for the differences are unclear. The study authors
said its possible gay and bi boys feel more pressure to
achieve a bulked-up ideal male physique, or that they
think muscle-building steroids will help them fend off bul-
lies.
Overall, 21 percent of gay or bisexual boys said they had
ever used steroids, versus 4 percent of straight boys. The
difference was similar among those who reported moderate
use taking steroid pills or injections up to 40 times: 8
percent of gay or bi teens reported that amount, versus less
than 2 percent of straight boys. The heaviest use 40 or
more times was reported by 4 percent of gays or bi boys,
compared with less than 1 percent of straight teens.
The study is billed as the rst to examine the problem;
previous research has found similar disparities for other
substance abuse.
For most American adults, sodas and other sugary drinks are the main source of
added sugar in their diets.

Its a bit sad that we saw such a large health disparity,
especially among the most frequent steroid users, said co-
author Aaron Blashill, a psychologist and scientist with the
Fenway Institute, the research arm of a Boston health center
that treats gays and lesbians.
Given the dramatic disparity ... it would seem that this is a
population in which greater attention is needed, the authors
said. Their research was released Monday in the journal
Pediatrics.
The nationally representative study is an analysis of gov-
ernment surveys from 2005 and 2007. It involved 17,250
teen boys aged 16 on average; almost 4 percent 635 boys
were gay or bisexual. Blashill said its likely more recent
data would show the disparities persist.
Dr. Rob Garofalo, adolescent medicine chief at Lurie
Childrens Hospital in Chicago, said the differences arent sur-
prising, since it is known that gay youth often have body
image issues. But he said, It is still shocking. These are dra-
matically high rates.
The Food and Drug Administration issued a consumer update
in November warning that teens and steroids are a dangerous
combo, citing government data showing that about 5 percent
of high school boys and 2 percent of high school girls use
steroids more than a half-million kids.
Steroids include synthetic versions of the male hormone
testosterone. Users take them to promote muscle growth,
strength and endurance. Side effects can include heart and liver
problems, high blood pressure, acne and aggressive behavior.
With their still-maturing bodies, teens face a heightened risk
for problems that may be permanent, the FDAupdate.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. Meat and live-
stock groups upset that Congress opted in
the new farm bill not to back off from
mandatory country of origin labeling
requirements are worried the issue could
start a trade war with Canada and Mexico.
Previous labeling rules required only the
country of origin to be noted, such as
Product of U.S. or Product of U.S. and
Canada. New rules that took effect last
year require that labels for steaks, ribs and
other cuts of meat include clear informa-
tion about where the animals were born,
raised and slaughtered. Labels must speci-
fy, for example, Born in Mexico, raised
and slaughtered in the United States.
Thats a really big label on a package of
meat that doesnt really guarantee any-
thing, said Cory Eich, president of the
South Dakota Cattlemens Association.
Country of original labeling supporters,
including consumer groups, environmen-
tal groups and some independent farmers,
say the requirements give consumers valu-
able information. But livestock groups
and meatpackers say its costly to have to
segregate and track animals along the
entire supply chain.
Eldon White, executive vice president of
the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers
Association, said a number of his groups
members along the border have ranches in
both Texas and Mexico, and those opera-
tions typically use the same bulls between
ranches. Having to split calves by birth
nation cuts down on profit, he said.
The quality of the cattle is identical,
and yet the cattle coming from Mexico are
being discounted between $40 and $70 a
head because of the additional bookkeep-
ing requirement, White said.
Eich, a cow-calf rancher from Canova,
S.D., said country of origin labeling too
often is incorrectly portrayed as a food
safety issue, as all meat sold in the United
States is inspected by the U.S. Department
of Agriculture. He noted the dozens of vol-
untary marketing programs, such as
Certified Angus Beef, that allow con-
sumers to buy whatever they want.
Its perceived sometimes that were
against country of origin labeling, and
its not that, Eich said. Were against
the mandatory part.
Senate Agriculture Chairwoman Debbie
Stabenow, D-Mich., said the farm bill is a
huge win for ranchers, as it includes a per-
manent livestock disaster assistance pro-
gram, a livestock forage program and
export assistance. But some of the groups
came in to the House and Senate wanting
to repeal country of origin labeling and
there was no way, she said.
The votes were not there in either body
to do that, Stabenow said during a Jan. 28
farm bill conference call. And so we
moved forward to achieve what we could
together.
Congress decision not to address the
issue has drawn criticism from Canadian
officials, who say the country may retali-
ate by imposing tariffs on a wide range of
American products.
Federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz
and International Trade Minister Ed Fast
said the detailed origin labels drive up the
price of Canadian exports and undermine
competitiveness, causing about $1 billion
a year in losses. A public hearing before
the World Trade Organization is set for
Feb. 18 in Geneva.
Groups: Meat labeling rules could start trade war
The quality of the cattle is
identical, and yet the cattle coming from Mexico
are being discounted between $40 and $70 a head
because of the additional bookkeeping requirement.

NEW YORK The U.S. abor-
tion rate declined to its lowest
level since 1973, and the number
of abortions fell by 13 percent
between 2008 and 2011, accord-
ing the latest national survey of
abortion providers conducted by a
prominent research institute.
The Guttmacher Institute, which
supports legal access to abortion,
said in a report being issued
Monday that there were about 1.06
million abortions in 2011
down from about 1.2 million in
2008. Guttmachers gures are of
interest on both sides of the abor-
tion debate because they are more
up-to-date and in some ways more
comprehensive than abortion sta-
tistics compiled by the federal
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention.
According to the report, the
abortion rate dropped to 16.9
abortions per 1,000 women ages
15-44 in 2011, well below the
peak of 29.3 in 1981 and the low-
est since a rate of 16.3 in 1973.
Guttmacher and other groups
supporting abortion rights have
been apprehensive about the
recent wave of laws restricting
abortion access that have been
passed in Republican-controlled
legislatures. However, the reports
authors said the period that they
studied 2008 to 2011 pre-
dates the major surge of such laws
starting with the 2011 legislative
session.
The lead author, Rachel Jones,
also said there appeared to be no
link to a decline in the number of
abortion providers. According to
the report, the total number of
providers dropped by 4 percent, to
1,720, between 2008 and 2011,
and the number of abortion clinics
declined by just 1 percent to 839.
According to Jones, the drop in
abortions was likely linked to a
steep national decline in overall
pregnancy and birth rates.
Contraceptive use improved
during this period, as more women
and couples were using highly
effective long-acting reversible
contraceptive methods, she said.
Moreover, the recent recession
led many women and couples to
want to avoid or delay pregnancy
and childbearing.
While the overall abortion rate
declined, the proportion of abor-
tions entailing early medication
procedures continued to increase.
According to Guttmacher, about
239,400 abortions of this type
were performed in 2011, repre-
senting 23 percent of all non-hos-
pital abortions, an increase from
17 percent in 2008.
Carol Tobias, president of the
National Right to Life
Committee, described the overall
drop in abortion numbers as evi-
dence that the anti-abortion
movements lobbying and legisla-
tive efforts were having an
impact.
It shows that women are reject-
ing the idea of abortion as the
answer to an unexpected pregnan-
cy, she said.
Americans United for Life,
another anti-abortion group
engaged in the efforts to pass
restrictive state laws, said
Guttmachers numbers should be
viewed skeptically because they
are based on voluntary self-report-
ing by abortion providers.
It is impossible really to know
the true abortion rate, said the
groups president, Charmaine
Yoest.
The report marked the 16th time
since 1973, when abortion was
legalized nationwide, that
Guttmacher has attempted to sur-
vey all known abortion providers
in the U.S. However, a section of
the new report acknowledges that
some abortions might not be tal-
lied.
The highest abortion rates were
in New York, Maryland, the
District of Columbia, Delaware
and New Jersey; the lowest were in
Wyoming, Mississippi, South
Dakota, Kentucky and Missouri.
However, Guttmacher said many
women in Wyoming and
Mississippi, where providers are
scarce, go out of state to get abor-
tions.
Report: U.S. abortion rate at lowest since 1973
According to a new report, abortion rates dropped to 16.9 abortions per 1,000 women ages 15-44 in 2011, well
below the peak of 29.3 in 1981 and the lowest since a rate of 16.3 in 1973.

ing Jan. 23, according to the report.
General concerns, that were heard at
the neighborhood meeting, were park-
ing, trafc circulation, none of those
are a surprise given that this is an
urban development, and certainly the
question of design, Klein said.
Parking in the area has become
increasingly difcult and the city is
currently working on finalizing its
Downtown San Mateo Parking
Management Plan to address it.
One thing thats pretty sensitive
right now, is theres really a shortage
of parking downtown now,
Councilman Jack Matthews said.
Essex stated it would allot 95 public
stalls and rebuild the ramp to the
rooftop parking lot, according to the
report.
Essex will also need to abide by
Measure P, the citys height limita-
tions and required affordable housing
component of 10 percent below-mar-
ket rate units per new development.
Measure P is an extension of Measure
H, which was passed decades ago part-
ly in response to a proposal for 10-
story ofce buildings on the same set
of blocks in downtown San Mateo.
The height limits in the city were
reduced because the community was
concerned that the heights would be
excessive and too much of an impact in
downtown. So it does have a long his-
tory of being kind of a controversial
site, Matthews said.
Most developments are limited to 55
feet in height and 75 feet if its in an
appropriate area and provides a public
benet or amenity. As its proposing a
very large project, Essexs biggest
challenge will be what they can pro-
pose and afford to provide as a public
benet, Matthews said.
The city is setting its sights on
improving its beloved park by work-
ing on the Central Park Master Plan.
Having the developer contribute to the
nances, aesthetics and accessibility
of the park could make it an asset,
Matthews said.
The Parks and Recreation
Commission will review the proposal
Wednesday to make sure its a suitable
design for its proximity to Central
Park, Klein said.
Thats one of the questions that
were asking in terms of how we access
Central Park from the downtown area,
Klein said. If you look at the connec-
tion, its basically San Mateo Drive
and a mid-block pedestrian corridor.
How is the project, given the way its
designed and the landscape being pro-
posed and the mid-block crossing
being proposed, how is all of that
going to improve or enhance the con-
nection to Central Park?
Essexs proposal designates 10 per-
cent of its units at below-market rates,
according to the report. Thats the
minimum under Measure P require-
ments and setting aside a higher per-
centage of units as affordable could
help establish a public benefit,
Matthews said.
Providing housing in the area will be
benecial to the city and to businesses
by getting people to walk and frequent
the park, said Jessica Evans, executive
director of the Downtown San Mateo
Association.
More housing downtown is always
a great thing, Evans said.
Having mixed-use residential facili-
ties in the area will encourage people
to patronize Central Park and is con-
sistent with the countys transit-ori-
ented development goals, said Mark
Moulton, executive director of the
Housing Leadership Council of San
Mateo County.
What were really looking for is
transit-oriented high-density develop-
ment. So it certainly ts the pattern
that were looking for, Moulton said.
There is still a lot to be worked out.
Essex will have to negotiate for the
purchase of the property, appear before
the Parks and Recreation and the
Planning commissions, finalize its
application, go through numerous traf-
fic and environmental studies all
before coming to a vote by the City
Council.
Mayor Robert Ross said it could add
some economic vitality to downtown
but it will take some collaboration.
I think if its done correctly it could
complement the downtown. Were
looking to improve the economic sta-
bility of downtown and it has a poten-
tial add to that, Ross said. With any
project, theres always challenges and
the real effort is getting citizens and
city staff and the council and working
collaboratively with the developer to
get the best project we can.

When I was told, I tried to play it
cool, she said. But it actually means
a lot to me to win it.
Fong wants to go to University of
California at Santa Barbara next year
to study computer science. Math is her
favorite subject and she also plays
softball for her high schools team.
During the summer of 2012, Fong
began volunteering at the Boys and
Girls Club. She clocked in more than
200 hours that summer. Sharon Dolan,
executive director of the chapter, said
Fong came in many days she wasnt
required and the organization created a
paid position so it could hire her.
Shes a terrific addition to the
staff, Dolan said. Shes great with
the kids, the kids look up to her and
shes super reliable.
Fong now monitors the games room
and runs a study power hour for rst-
and second-graders 15 hours a week.
I like being a role model for the
members, said Fong, who was born
and raised in South San Francisco.
Knowing they can look up to me.
Fong said she enjoys the pictures
kids draw for her.
Its really sweet, Fong said. They
draw pictures of me and them at the
park.
Fong has a brother who is two years
older than her who attends California
State Polytechnic University in
Pomona. He also volunteered for the
Boys and Girls Club. Her father is an
electrician and her mother works for a
Hilton in San Francisco.
I like that they (the Boys and Girls
Club) like to help out kids and have
families involved, Fong said. Its a
place that is good for the kids to come
to.
Dolan said the Youth of the Year is
generally a selection of a person who
makes signicant contributions to the
club and their communities, overcame
hurdles in life to be able to thrive as a
teen and has plans for after high
school graduation.
Sponsors for the Jan. 22 awards cer-
emony honoring Fong and others
included the Basque Cultural Center,
Comcast, Kaiser Permanente, Kiwanis
Club of South San Francisco, South
San Francisco Scavenger Company,
Dudley Perkins Company and Wayne
Joseph, D.D.S. Numerous South San
Francisco restaurants provided com-
plimentary food dishes and Torani
hosted a soda bar. More than 150 peo-
ple were in attendance for the awards,
including San Mateo County
Supervisor Dave Pine and South San
Francisco Councilman Mark Addiego.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2014
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Make a point of
visiting people who you miss or dont get to see
of ten. Spending time with good friends can lead
to bet ter days ahead. Participation in something
will prove beneficial.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Dont take a nancial
risk. Joint ventures arent likely to turn out as
planned. Generosity can lead to debt. Be careful
what you wish for and how you spend your money.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Dont meddle or take
on something you cannot handle. Problems with
friends or relatives will hinder your relationship with
someone special. Put your priorities in order.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Infatuation and
romantic encounters based on chemistry will turn out
to be unfullling. Evaluate any personal or business
partnership in the ofng for its long-term potential.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Consider your
domestic situation and make adjustments to
counter any trouble you foresee. You can make
financial gains if you invest in your skills or
something that will offer greater stability.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Travel or spend
time with someone who can offer you knowledge,
understanding and solutions. An exotic destination
will inspire you to try something new. Participation
will lead to an opportunity.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You can enjoy life without
going overboard. Stick to moderation, and you will
make a better impression. Avoid being coerced to do
something that wont benet you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Size up your personal
situation and make the necessary adjustments
to improve your position. Honesty in important
relationships should be questioned. Make choices
based on your needs, not what someone else wants.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Disagreements will result
in delays. Keep your distance to make it easier to
assess a situation. Meddling will lead to gossip that
will tarnish your reputation.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Get involved, be a
participant and show off a little. The people you
meet along the way will add something special to
whatever you are trying to accomplish.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Dont question
others when you should be perfecting your own
approach. Focus on getting things done to gain
respect and the support needed to reach your goals.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You need to use
caution when choosing whom you want to work
with. You can get the most accomplished if you are
