Rally shines light on high rent

Advocates say seniors, disabled and working poor being priced out
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A group of affordable housing advocates rallied at Redwood City Hall

Thursday to denounce rising rents,
evictions and the plight of the working poor.
Led by the nonprofit San Francisco
Organizing
Project/Peninsula
Interfaith Action, the group held the
rally to highlight the need for tenant
protections as rents in the area continue to climb.
In the past, residents of all incomes
were able to live in Redwood City,
said Diana Reddy, with Redwood City

Residents for Housing Security.

People lived in their apartments for
decades because those apartments were
affordable.
But skyrocketing rents have priced
out seniors, individuals with disabilities who live on fixed incomes and
young families who earn low wages,
Reddy said.
Redwood City residents Laura
Marquez and Mavis Martinez attended
the rally and held signs that read:
Love is making sure every family has
a home in English and Spanish.
Martinez is facing eviction from her
one-bedroom apartment after living
there for eight years as the rent has

climbed twice within the past year

from $1,200 a month to $1,550 a
month, a 29 percent increase.
Martinez, the mother of a 3-year-old
daughter, will be moving in with her
in-laws in a two-bedroom apartment
that will rent for $2,500 a month.
Without family help, it would be
difficult to find a place, she said.
Redwood City has moved toward
addressing the housing crunch, according to city officials.
Monday night, the City Council
gave the go ahead to move forward
with a three-step affordable housing
plan. Its an effort to invest in afford-

Business blooms for florists

Valentines Day means long days and crazy customers for local shops
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

With Valentines Day just around the

corner, local florists are working hard
and fast to create arrangements for this
weekends holiday, but experts recommend being deliberate when writing
the note accompanying the gift.
There is no substitute for a well-

thought-out note one that conveys

the love and appreciation the sender
feels for the special someone receiving flowers on the lovers holiday,
said Denise Barnett, owner of
Blossoms Flower Shop at the Hillsdale
Shopping Center.
But she said remember to keep the
notes short and sweet, because there is
not much room on the card.

Local florists are leaving the house

for work before the sun rises to shop at
early morning flower markets across
the Bay Area, and then make it back in
time to create arrangements in time for
afternoon delivery.
Barnett said she is working 12 hour
days to prepare for the holiday, and

Mystery goo that killed
seabirds in California identified
SAN FRANCISCO The mysterious gray goo that killed 170 seabirds
in the San Francisco Bay Area has
been identified as a synthetic oil.
Scientists at state and federal laboratories have yet to determine where the
sticky gunk that looked like rubber
cement came from or exactly how it
got into the bay.
Lab officials determined Thursday
that the goo that first turned up on
shorelines east of San Francisco in
mid-January contained a mixture of
non-petroleum-based fats or oils.
Non-petroleum oils include synthetic oils, such as silicone fluids, tung
oils, and wood-derivative oils such as
resin/rosin oils. Animal fats and oil,
and edible and inedible seed oils from
plants are included too.
The odorless substance sapped the
seabirds ability to stay warm, float or
fly. More than 300 birds were also
captured alive. Ninety-one birds
remain at a rehabilitation center waiting for release.

Suspect in December
fatal hit-and-run arrested
A two-month investigation has led to the
arrest of a suspect who fled the scene of a
fatal collision in Daly City in December,
police said Thursday.
The Dec. 4 crash killed 77-year-old Jose
Rosel of Daly City as he was walking across
state Highway 35 in a crosswalk near
Westridge Avenue at about 11:30 p. m. ,
police said.
Rosel was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the white Ford F-150 pickup
truck fled the area, police said.
In late December, police issued a plea for
information about the truck, broadcasting
its description in an effort to track down its
owner.
Investigators eventually tracked it to 39year-old Joro Petrovmoray of Pacifica. He
was arrested and booked into San Mateo
County jail on suspicion of the fatal hitand-run crash.

The land, 8 miles north of the city of Santa

The loophole allows sex offenders convicted in military courts to

Spikes, 35, allegedly shot and
killed Marcus Brackenridge outside
of his home in the 500 block of
Skyline Drive at about 5:50 a.m.
April 13.
Spikes allegedly stood over a
naked Brackenridge and shot him in
the abdomen and head after an argument over money with an alleged
prostitute standing nearby, prosecutors said.
Brackenridges mother watched
the shooting from inside the
homes sliding glass doors. When
she yelled out as her son was shot,
Spikes allegedly turned the gun on
her, firing through the glass doors
and hitting her in the abdomen,
prosecutors said.
Spikes and the prostitute fled the
area. Police arrived and found
Brackenridge lying dead on the
ground.
Investigators eventually tied
Spikes to the shooting and
obtained a warrant for his arrest. He
was finally arrested on Oct. 9 in
Sacramento and charged with murder, attempted murder, shooting at
an inhabited dwelling and weapons
violations, prosecutors said.
He was ordered to stand trial
Wednesday by San Mateo County
Superior Court Judge Jonathan
Karesh. He has two prior strikes for
violent crime convictions and is
facing life in prison if convicted,

Police investigate
early-morning burglary
Belmont police are investigating
a residential burglary that occurred
during a short, unusually earlymorning period of time Thursday.
A woman left her home on the
500 block of Chesterton Avenue
around 8:15 a.m. and returned by
about 9 a.m. to find shed been
robbed, according to Belmont
police. The front door had been
forced open and jewelry as well as
small electronics like an iPad were
stolen, according to police.
Belmont police Capt. Pat
Halleran said the crime was unusual
as it occurred during a brief period of
time when theres a higher likelihood of residents being home.
Typical residential burglaries
tend to occur later in the day
between 10 a.m. and noon so police
are investigating whether the criminals were waiting for the resident
to leave, Halleran said.
There was nothing remarkable
about the home and police are asking residents to come forward if
they saw anything suspicious,
Halleran said.
Anyone with information is
asked to call Belmont police at
(650) 595-7400.

Man posing as utility

worker attempts to
see womans electric bill
Police are searching for a man
who posed as a utility worker while
attempting to see a copy of a South
San Francisco womans electric
bill.
A woman was alone at her home
on the 500 block of Fourth Lane
early Tuesday evening when a man

posing as a Pacific Gas and Electric

worker knocked on her front door
and asked to see her utility bill,
according to South San Francisco
police.
The woman refused to let him in
and showed him part of the bill
through the window. The woman
became suspicious and walked away
from the door when the suspect
demanded to see the entire bill. The
man then walked to the rear of the
residence prompting the woman to
call police. The man left the area
once he realized police had been
called and PG&E confirmed he was
not associated with the company,
according to police.
He is described as possibly Indian
or Middle Eastern with a dark complexion and spoke with a clear
voice, according to police. He
stands more than 6 feet tall, with
dark short wavy hair, was clean
shaven and is approximately 20 to
25 years old. He was last seen wearing a white construction hat, a yellow work vest, a dark jacket and
jeans, according to police.
Anyone with information is
asked to call South San Francisco
police at (650) 877-8900.

Reverse Mortgage Financial Assessment to begin March 2015

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has issued a nancial assessment for
reverse mortgage borrowers that will take effect
March 2, 2015
HUD writes in explaining the purpose of nancial
assessment, The mortgagee must evaluate the
mortgagors willingness and capacity to timely meet
his or her nancial obligations and to comply with the
mortgage requirements. The mortgage requirements
include paying property taxes, homeowners insurance
and keeping up home maintenance.
HUD states, In conducting this nancial
assessment, mortgagees must take into consideration that some mortgagors seek a HECM due
to nancial difculties, which may be reected
in the mortgagors credit report and/or property
charge payment history. The mortgagee must also
consider to what extent the proceeds of the HECM

could provide a solution to any such nancial difculties. For borrowers who do not demonstrate
their willingness to meet their loan obligations, life
expectancy set-asides will be required.
The mortgagee letter also species documents that
must be collected and submitted to all borrowers. The
documentation has been updated to include Financial
Assessment Documentation including, credit history,
income verication, asset verication, property charge
verication, residual income analysis, documentation
of extenuating circumstances or compensating factors
and calculations for life expectancy and residual
income shortfall set-asides.
If you have a question about qualifying for a reverse
mortgage today, or how the nancial assessment will
impact your situation, contact us today.

A reverse mortgage is a loan that enable

homeowners 62 or older to borrow against the
equity in their home without having to give up
title, or take on a monthly mortgage payment.
The money received can be used for any purpose.
The loan amount depends on the borrowers age,
current interest rates, and the value of the home.
Borrower must maintain property as primary
residence and remain current on property taxes
and homeowners insurance. A reverse mortgage
does not have to be repaid until the borrower
sells or moves out of the home permanently,
and the repayment amount cannot exceed the
value of the home. After the loan is repaid any
remaining equity is distributed to the borrower or
the borrowers estate.

Acknowledging the struggles of

Barack Obama on Thursday signed
legislation intended to reduce a

claiming lives by the day.
If you are hurting, know this.
You are not forgotten, Obama
said, addressing soldiers and veterans as he prepared to affix his signature to the law. The law requires
the Pentagon and Veterans Affairs
Department to submit to independent reviews of their suicide prevention programs and make information on suicide prevention more
easily available to veterans.
It also offers financial incentives
to psychiatrists and other mental
health professionals who agree to
work for the VA and assist military

active duty to veteran status.

Issues with funding the
Half Moon Bay Library
Editor,
Half Moon Bay councilmembers
Deborah Ruddock and Deborah
Penrose took the scally responsible
position on funding a new library.
They were both elected on a platform
of spending our money wisely and
tried to get the other members of the
council to agree. Issuing lease revenue bonds instead of general obligation bonds will cost the taxpayers
at least $2.4 million more over the
course of the loan, or about $500 for
each Half Moon Bay taxpayer (Half
Moon Bay moves to fund library in
the Feb. 6 edition of the Daily
Journal).
Councilman Rick Kowalczyks
statement that we will build this
library with no incremental tax
increase on our citizens is a perfect
example of casuistry: the money that
we will spend for these bonds will
come at the expense of other sorely
needed infrastructure improvements.
The council should have gone to the
voters to approve general obligation
bonds that would have been the
honest and fiscally prudent choice. If
the voters wanted to support the
library with their tax dollars, they
should have had the chance to make
that clear to the council. Instead, the
council majority distrusted us voters,
and as a consequence we are all going
to pay for their spineless choice.

Road fees
Editor,
California State Assembly Speaker
Toni Atkins is proposing a $52
annual fee on drivers, details of
method of collection to be deeply
pondered. We currently have a $59
billion backlog of work that was
supposed to be paid for by the high
gas taxes weve been paying all
these years.
Politicians, mainly Democrats,
found ways to spend your money that
was earmarked for a basic function of
government road maintenance. Now
they have to a plan to cover their
patoots for their profligate spending
by taking about $2 billion more of
our money. This time its going to
be different, the money really will
go for road repair, honest. We just
got hit with a carbon tax on gas
hardly a month ago, remember that?
We may as well be a big fat obsequious sow as the little piggy politicians keep nosing their way to the
front of the line to suckle on our wallets. This isnt going down without a

Looking for solutions

Editor,
I am responding to the Feb. 10 letter to the editor No shortage of
classrooms by Jack Kirkpatrick. Mr.
Kirkpatrick, let me state that your
facts are inaccurate. San Mateo
County has 284 schools: 81 are private and the remaining 203 consist of
public and charter schools, not 66 as
you stated. Per the California
Department of Education website for
the 2013-14 school year, the enrollment of students topped 96,000 in
San Mateo County. San Mateo-Foster
City Elementary School District had a
whopping 11,700 students alone. You
are correct there are 24 district
ofces in San Mateo County, each of
which has its own unique set of challenges, especially funding.
Consolidation of services is happening within these districts and can
always be improved upon, but you
make it sound like there is no communication between them at all.
Your comments about equal pay for
equal work are valid comments but
have nothing to do with why we have
a need for additional classrooms.
With expansion of housing developments such as Station Park Green in
San Mateo, children of these families
will have to go somewhere for education, and space has to be made available.
So, before you go off on your misguided mudslinging at district ofcials who are dedicated to the education of our children, please use factual
information so that your argument
does more to help the problem than
to incorrectly iname the public.
Lets look for solutions that can be
accomplished with the resources we
have and make sure the taxpayers in
these districts are educated on the
needs and limitations that affect their
children.

kept neatly trimmed, watered and the

areas around them clean. There wasnt
any trash or garbage on the sidewalks
or spilling out of the trash receptacles. The building fronts were clean
and tidy, no trash or cardboard boxes
stacked in the corners of the property
either. The sidewalks were almost
spotless.
I wrote a letter to the editor
Millbrae needs a cleaning, in the
Sept. 6 edition about how lthy and
unsanitary the sidewalks on
Broadway, south of Starbucks were,
and still are. To this date, nothing has
noticeably been done to clean and
correct the issue. I saw the city crew
cleaning up the alley east of
Broadway and within two days the
alley was lthy again. I suggested to
a city employee the sidewalks should
be power washed and was told that
people would complain about water
usage.
Do you not care about your city? Do
you like that people are shopping in
other cities because of the lth and
trash on Broadway? These are tax dollars being lost and everyone should
be concerned. I do not see this kind of
lth along Broadway or Burlingame
Avenue in Burlingame. Maybe that is
why the city businesses are doing so
well.
Take a walk through Millbrae and
make your voice heard to the City
Council, who is determined to avoid
reacting to anything the citizens of
Millbrae are concerned about. Make
them clean up Broadway and areas all
around the businesses, on the east and
west sides including the trash-strewn
east side alley. Code enforcement
should be on top of this and noncompliant property owners or tenants
should be ned.

Three-card Monte
Foster City style
By Herb Perez

oster City is faced with a challenge. We must develop a feasible and achievable action plan to address
internal housing inventory. However, before we do
so, we must consider several conicting policy questions. It
is only after we address these questions that we can move
forward in an effort to do our part as part of a regional solution.
Foster City has historically created 20
percent affordable housing as part of our
housing element. In some cases we funded this housing with the now defunct
community development agency dollars
and in other cases developers funded it as
part of their build-out plan. With the dissolution of the community development
agency, we are left only with the developers ability to participate or to use our
own dollars from the general fund.
As a city, we are now being asked by the state to develop
an additional 430 units of housing to meet the allocation
numbers issued by the Association of Bay Area
Governments. This is strongly opposed by a signicant
number of residents who believe we cannot absorb the additional residents, trafc, students and infrastructure demands.
I opposed this plan, while Mayor Art Keisel, and councilmen Steve Okamoto and Gary Pollard approved a housing
element which purports to offer a plan to accommodate the
ABAG numbers and meet the affordable housing requirements. I did not believe the plan offered was realistic or
achievable but more importantly I do not believe the city
has an intention to allow the construction of the additional
units. The plan was offered to demonstrate how we could
meet the required numbers but with no obligation to actually
build the units. It is an attempt to appease the state and its
minimal mandated planning requirements.
We must rst address three fundamental questions before
we can take any action. First, we must determine what our
commitment is to housing. Secondly, we must consider
what strategy we might implement to deal with the rippling
effects of additional housing on trafc and school overcrowding. Finally, if we choose to build additional housing,
where and what type of density should it be?
Our community is comprised of service-minded residents
who donate time and dollars to various causes. We are socially responsible members of our community and choose to
maintain a better quality of life for our families and those
who will inherit our world. So, as a community, does our
civic-mindedness extend to our surrounding cities and families? If it does, do we have an obligation to absorb housing
to accommodate the ever-increasing workforce? Are we ethically obligated to accommodate growth and are we committed to regionalism? More importantly, are we willing to
change our quality of life to do our part for our extended
community? Principles have always come at a cost and are
we willing to pay the piper?
We can no longer deny the nexus between increased housing and overcrowded schools and roads. We can no longer
foist the blame upon the school board or SamTrans without
participating in a cooperative solution. There is no doubt
that Foster City residents travel to and from work using the
north-south and east-west trafc corridors that border our
sleepy hamlet. We are equally burdened and blessed with no
internal through trafc but even less paths of egress on the
back side of our town. We can no longer ignore the need for
a solution.
The fact is that the council approved a housing element
that obligated us to create the additional housing. We now
will wait for those developers to come to us with plans that
we must allow. If we dont allow, then we will be sued. Not
by the state, not by housing advocacy groups, but by the
developers who will point to the housing element which
entitles them to build. Secondly, we have not considered or
created an action plan to handle the trafc or inux of additional families with school-aged children. Finally, we have
never asked ourselves the threshold question of Can our
citys residents philosophically handle the increase in housing? Are they willing to manage their expectations of their
quality of life for the greater good?
A plan that no one has any intention of implementing is
not productive and does not address any issues. It is in fact
disingenuous and misleading to our residents, the state and
to the surrounding communities who expect us to do our
part.
We must get our heads out of the sand and have an honest
discussion with our residents, policy-makers and regional
partners about growth, development, housing, trafc and
schools.
We would be better served if we were to ask ourselves what
we are willing to do rather than what is possible and we have
no intention of allowing. Governance at all levels should be
forthright and direct.

Facebook account after you die
By Barbara Ortutay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Facebook is making

it easier to plan for your online afterlife.
The worlds biggest online social
network said Thursday that it will
now let users pick someone who can
manage their account after they die.
Previously, the accounts were
memorialized after death, or locked
so that no one could log in.
But Facebook says its users wanted
more choice. Beginning in the U.S.,
Facebook users can pick a legacy
contact to post on their page after
they die, respond to new friend
requests and update their profile picture and cover photo. Users can also
have their accounts deleted after their

death, which was not possible

before.
If you want someone to manage
your account after you die, click on
the upside-down triangle on the top
right corner of your page, open settings and find security. For U.S.
users there will be an option to edit
your legacy contact, who must be a
Facebook user. But you dont have to
pick someone else to manage your
account. You can also check a box to
permanently delete your account
when you die.
The person you choose to manage
your account wont be notified of
your choice until your Facebook
account is memorialized. But you can
send them a message before.
Facebook says it will send annual
reminders to people telling them who

they have chosen. This could help if

your pick dies before you do, for
example, or if your friendship cools
as the years pass.
If you give your contact additional
permission, they will be able to
download and archive your photos,
posts and profile information after
you die. They will not be able to
access your private messages. To log
into your account, they will have to
use their own Facebook login they
wont be able to sign in as you.
Facebook accounts are memorialized at the request of loved ones, who
must provide proof of the persons
death, such as an obituary. Facebook
tries to ensure that the account of the
dead user doesnt show up as a suggested friend or in other ways that
could upset the persons loved ones.

Chinese mobile sensation dips toes in U.S. with accessories

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Xiaomi, one of

Chinas hottest companies, is bringing
its blend of cheap yet fashionable technology and crowd-pleasing antics to the
U.S.
Although its smartphones wont be
available here anytime soon, Xiaomi
unveiled plans Thursday to test the U.S.
market by selling inexpensive headphones and other accessories online. It

plans to hew to the Internet-driven, customer-friendly model that has helped

turn the company into a major player in
mobile computing just five years after
its founding.
Xiaomi pronounced schow-mee
has made a name in China by selling
sleek gadgets at relatively low prices,
using online sales and social media to
keep marketing and distribution costs
low. Some analysts have hailed the
company as the Chinese equivalent of

Apple, in part because of its intensely

loyal fans.
There are some significant differences
between the two companies approach,
though. While Apple tends to keep its
future product plans secret, Xiaomi has

be the best performance for the index

Expedia to buy Orbitz,

further shift in online travel space
NEW YORK A wave of deals in the online travel industry
has increasingly put some familiar names under two corporate
umbrellas: Expedia and Priceline.
For now, industry executives and travel experts say, consumers wont notice much of an impact. They will still have
plenty of options for booking flights, hotel rooms and vacation packages, including shopping directly with airline and
hotel websites.
Expedia said Thursday that it is buying rival Orbitz
Worldwide Inc. for about $1.3 billion. The deal adds the Orbitz
brand and sites including CheapTickets and HotelClub to a
lineup that already includes names such as Hotels.com,
Hotwire, Trivago and Australias Wotif. com. Expedia is also
in the process of buying Travelocity.

FireEye is first in the door on big cyberattacks

SAN FRANCISCO As hackers invade the computer systems of major companies with greater frequency and their corporate victims scramble to contain the damage and prevent
future intrusions, these are boom times for cybersecurity
sleuths.
Perhaps no security specialist has benefited more than a
small but fast-growing company called FireEye, which is
based in Silicon Valley and staffed with a roster of former military and law-enforcement cyberexperts.
FireEye has been called in to investigate the high-profile
cyberattacks against Target, JPMorgan Chase, Sony Pictures
and, just last week, Anthem, the countrys second-largest

HMB repeats as champs John Daly

in the mix
at Pebble

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Its a Half Moon Bay repeat for the

Peninsula Athletic League boys wrestling
title.
Backed by an outstanding performance by
the top of their rotation, and six forfeits by
rival Terra Nova, the Cougars captured the
PAL championship Thursday night at Half
Moon Bay in the final dual meet of the season by a 54-23 landslide.
Not counting forfeits, Half Moon Bay
won its first three matches of the night to
set the tone. Cougars junior EdRey
Casamina produced a big comeback win
over Justin Pesino in the 115-pound match.
Fellow junior Evan Marschall then won by
pin over Terra Nova senior Niko Richardson
in the third round. Half Moon Bay junior
Khalil Droubi followed with a pin in the
second round.
Our first three wrestlers are three of the
top in CCS and in our league, so they are
important for us, Half Moon Bay head
coach Tom Baker said. They are the table
setters, really.
With the wins by Casamina and
Marschall, each etched undefeated records in
PAL this season. Half Moon Bay heavyweights Marcos Sarabia (222 pounds) and
David Corona (287 pounds) each won via
forfeit to solidify undefeated records in
league as well.
Terra Nova head coach Dennis
Shillingburg said he knew entering into the
match his team was giving away too many
points via forfeit to compete for its second
league title in three years. The Tigers last
won the PAL championship in 2013.
We gave them 36 points in forfeits
tonight, Shillingburg said. You cant
come back from that.
Casamina set the tone Thursday for the
Cougars as he has all year. The 5-1, 115pound junior faced two deficits in the match.
After the first round he trailed 4-1. He came
back to tie it in the second round only to fall
behind 6-4 at the start of the third.

PEBBLE BEACH Sunshine is always a

pleasant surprise at Pebble Beach, and
Thursday brought a real stunner: John Daly
was near the top of the leaderboard.
With his best opening round on the PGA
Tour in nearly 10 years, Daly kept a clean
card at Pebble Beach on a magnificent day
along the Monterey Peninsula for a 7-under
65, leaving him one shot
behind J.B. Holmes and
Justin Hicks in the AT&T
Pebble Beach National
Pro-Am.
Daly won an exhibition in Turkey last year.
The last official win for
the two-time major champion was at Torrey Pines
in 2004. So when Daly

rolled in a 15-foot birdie
putt on his final hole, one of the volunteers
wasnt joking when he said, Daly is at 7

Daly laughed when he heard that. Then
again, this day could put anyone in a good
mood.
His golf was as glorious as the sunshine.
Three years ago, a beautiful day gave way to
fog and then rain without notice in a twohour span. Last year, the third round was ravaged by rain and 30 mph win. Thursday
brought long shadows.
To have weather like this now its supposed to be like this all week it is
absolutely incredible, said Jim Furyk, who
made his 2015 debut with a 64 at Monterey

weather like this, its just spectacular.

Cap closes in on title after tie with Terra Nova

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The goal of every team regardless of

the sport is to win the game.
Thursday, when the Capuchino and Terra
Nova girls soccer team met in Pacifica in a
battle for first place in the Peninsula
Athletic Leagues Ocean Division, a more
pressing goal for both teams was not to
lose.
Capuchino entered the game with a 9-1
record, good for 27 points in the standings
(three points for a win, one point for a tie).

Terra Nova, at 8-1, was three points back

with 24.
At the end of 80 minutes, each team added
a point as they finished in a 1-1 draw.
We did what we had to do, said
Capuchino coach Rich Medina. I told the
girls, If we lose, well lose because we beat
ourselves.
His warning almost came to fruition. After
a scoreless first half, Terra Nova took a 1-0
lead 15 minutes into the second half when
the Mustangs failed to properly clear the
ball out of danger.
Capuchino, however, let out a collective

sigh of relief when the Mustangs got the

equalizer with eight minutes to play.
I thought we had it, said Terra Nova
coach Ernie Brockmeyer. Both teams
played hard. I cant take anything away
from Cap. Im fine with the end result.
The Tigers nearly took the lead four minutes into the second half when Mikaeyla
Millers strong header hit the post.
Brockmeyer thought his team might pull
out the win when following a scramble in
the Mustangs penalty area, Capuchino
briefly relieved the pressure with a weak
clearance that managed to get only as far the

35-yard line in the 55th minute. Thats

when senior midfielder and team captain
Sara Acquisti measured her steps and, with a
clear look at goal, hammered a right-footed
shot that slid just under the crossbar for a
surprising goal and a 1-0 Tigers lead.
That goal appeared to shake the Mustangs
out of whatever doldrums they were in, as
they spent the final 25 minutes putting
extreme amounts of pressure on the Tigers
defense.

Skyline into third place with major upset of Chabot

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Fueled by a dominant post performance

from Tianna Mitchell and Sahara Clay and a
career-game from sixth-man Mo Garrett,
Skyline womens basketball pulled off a
major upset Wednesday night with a 75-68
overtime win against first-place Chabot
College the states No. 4-ranked team.
After a slow start, the Trojans (6-4 in
Coast Conference North, 15-8 overall) rode
the hot hand of Garrett, who hit a 3-pointer
at the end of regulation to force overtime.
Then the freshman drilled three 3-pointers
in the extra period to seal the victory.
Skyline did its best to contain Chabot
point guard Morgan Green, but the
Michigan State-bound freshman still delivered a triple-double with 16 points, 15
rebounds and 12 assists. But Garrett and
Mitchell each did Green one better from the
floor, matching one another for a gamehigh 17 points apiece.
The victory over Chabot (9-1, 24-3) was
critical for a Skyline team that entered into

Mitchell tabbed a double-double, along
with a game-high 20 rebounds. Clay also
had a double-double with 15 points and 15
rebounds.
They were huge for us, Skyline head
coach Chris Watters said. Its probably the
best post-player performance weve ever
had here in nine years at Skyline College.
It was Garretts buzzer-beater trey out of
the corner that set up the Trojans for the win
though. A former two-year varsity player
out of Sacred Heart Cathedral, Garretts

I just got into a rhythm and I couldnt
miss after that, Garrett said.
Watters said he felt like Skyline was in a

good position to score the upset going into

overtime. But the presence of Green was a
frightening one to contend with.
I felt we had the momentum but in the
back of your mind, you know this player
has the ability to take over, Watters said.
In overtime, the two teams traded scores
early on but Mitchell came up with a clutch

Mitchell had a season-high five blocked

Paired with San Joses 65-60 loss to

We would like to finish in third place,
Watters said. So, the next two games are

Chicago Little League

team not going quietly

Del Rio to speed up offense

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA Oakland coach Jack Del Rio confirmed that

the Raiders plan to incorporate the no-huddle offense into
their system next season.
Just how much the Raiders will employ the hurry-up
schemes will likely vary from week to week depending on the
opponent. But Del Rio, a former NFL linebacker whose background is on defense,
said that it will be a consistent part of the
offense.
Speaking at an informal lunch with
reporters on Thursday, Del Rio outlined
some of the plans he has for the team in
2015. He also spoke about his relationship with offensive coordinator Bill
Musgrave, whom he fired when both men
Jack Del Rio were coaching in Jacksonville.
Del Rios comments on Oakland using
the no-huddle come on the heels of reports quoting quarterback
Derek Carr saying the Raiders would have it as a significant
part of their offense.
We will have that ability to attack people in that manner,
Del Rio said. Bill Musgrave has a wealth of knowledge. Were
going to, as a staff, sit down and determine what the Raider
way is going forward. But I do know that that is an element
that he brings to the table.
Musgrave was the quarterbacks coach in Philadelphia last
season and said last month he intends to bring some of the elements of the Eagles high-octane offense to Oakland.
The Raiders finished the 2014 season last in the league in
total offense and rushing. They were also 31st in scoring at
15.8 points a game.
Using the no-huddle, Del Rio said, will enable the Raiders to
be more diverse on offense.

Thats something that we will want to be able to do when

we decide we want to do it, Del Rio said. We want to be able
to go at different speeds. If we want to go fast, well go fast. If
we want to play at a no-huddle but methodical pace, we can do
that. If we want to huddle and really milk it, well know how to
do that.
Del Rio has spent the past month getting acclimated to his
new job. He recently filled the final vacancies on his coaching
staff and has been reviewing Oaklands roster while prepping
for the NFL scouting combine next week.
He hasnt been back to Denver since mid-January Del
Rios wife had their belongings boxed and packed in two short
days and is hopeful of finding a new home in the Berkeley
hills, about 15 minutes north of the Raiders facilities.
The biggest item on his to-do list was reaching out to his
players and getting more familiar with the teams roster.
I have a much greater reference point in terms of the building, the makeup of the team and some of the things we need to
do going forward, Del Rio said. Well clearly increase the
talent level but I think its important that we develop the players that are here. We want to create a competitive environment
where guys enjoy coming to work.
Del Rios decision to hire Musgrave as Oaklands offensive
coordinator seemed to be a head-scratching move given the
history between the two men. Del Rio coached Jacksonville
from 2003-11 and had Musgrave as his offensive coordinator
for two seasons before firing him in 2004.
The two men parted on good terms, however, and Del Rio
was quick to reach out to Musgrave after being hired to coach
the Raiders.
I think its a really good fit for us, Del Rio said. I thought
he was really bright back then. Both of us were kind of green.
We were both cutting our teeth. As we get back together now I
think were both in a much better position, a lot wiser and a lot
better prepared.

CHICAGO A day after Little League International

stripped Chicagos Jackie Robinson West of its national
championship, team officials announced theyve hired a
high-profile attorney to conduct an investigation they hope
will end with the return of their title.
The sports governing body announced Wednesday that
team officials had violated regulations by including players
who didnt qualify because they lived outside the teams
boundaries, then scrambled to get adjacent leagues to go
along with the scheme. But attorney Victor Henderson said
Thursday he will try to determine not only whether the team
broke any rules but whether as supporters in Chicago
have suggested Little League International unfairly singled them out.
I want to make sure that whatever rules and regulations are
being applied to Jackie Robinson West are being applied to
any other team, Henderson said during a news conference,
flanked by members of the family that runs the league on the
citys South Side and the teams manager, who has been suspended.
Henderson said it is too early to say if Jackie Robinson
West will file a lawsuit against Little League International.
Clearly, we have one more battle, said Bill Haley, the
director of the team, whose father was the founder. You were
not wrong for sticking with our boys then (during the Little
League World Series), and you are not wrong for sticking
with our boys now.
The announcement that the title the team won at last summers Little League World Series triggered an emotional
response from parents and supporters in Chicago and around
the country, some of whom suggested that the race of the allblack team may have been a factor in the stunning decision
to remove the title. On Thursday, Henderson tried to tamp
down those criticisms.
We arent raising the race card, he said. He also addressed
threats made against the life of the suburban baseball league
official whose allegations triggered the investigation.

came with 6:23 remaining in the game. He finished with 10
points. ... The Cardinal entered shooting 45.0 percent from
the field, but were held to 37.7 percent. ... Starting center
Stefan Nastic fouled out with just seven points after averaging 13.8 the rest of the season.
Utah: The Utes have not allowed more than 69 points in
22 consecutive games. They entered as one of five teams in
the nation not to allow more than 72 points all season. ...
Point guard Brandon Taylor scored just five points after
coming into the game second on the team with 11.1 points
per game. However, he dished out a game-high eight assists.

Home stretch
The Utes control their own destiny in their chase for the
first Pac-12 title in school history. The team posted a 17-37
conference record in its first three years in the league and
failed to finish higher than eighth in those three. Utah has
seven games remaining, including the three best league
records in No. 7 Arizona (20-3, 8-2), Oregon (18-7, 8-4) and
Oregon State (16-8, 7-5).

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Cuba enters new luxury niche: purebred horses

By Anne-Marie Garcia
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HAVANA Already renowned for fine rum

and fancy cigars, Cuba is carving out a new
luxury niche that is attracting Latin American
elites to the communist-run island: thoroughbred jumping horses.
By importing colts and fillies from the
Netherlands, Cuban trainers are creating
prized competitors capable of fetching more
than $40,000 from buyers at private auctions,
with much of the proceeds going back to the
government-led equine enterprise.
At an auction last month at the National
Equestrian Club, well-heeled horse collectors
gathered in the tropical air to sip wine and
raise their bidding paddles, hoping to find a
champion among the Dutch Warmbloods
paraded before them.
By evenings end, 31 horses sold for a total
of about $435,000 to buyers from Brazil,
Canada, Guatemala, the Netherlands and
Mexico.
The great advantage is that they are already
in the Americas, said Cecilia Pedraza, a

Sports brief
Montana basketball team has
120-game win streak snapped

Mexico City collector who bought several of

the Dutch Warmbloods. In addition, they
have been trained very well. They are advanced
for their age, very well-behaved, perform concentrated jumps and have excellent blood
lines.
Rufino Rivera, from Xalapa, the capital of
Mexicos Gulf coast state of Veracruz, paid
about $17,000 for a horse he hopes will follow the path of Aristotelis, a prize-winning
jumper he bought at the clubs first auction six
years ago.
Cubas tradition of horse breeding and training dates to the 16th century, but after the
1959 communist revolution, Fidel Castros
government banned horse racing along with
gambling and professional sports. Cuba continued to participate in amateur equestrianism,
producing top-notch horse riders and trainers.
But the costly sport slipped into decline in the
1990s, when the fall of the Soviet Union provoked an economic crisis that made it hard to
care for the animals.
Then, starting in 2005, Cuba began seeing
horses as a way to gain badly needed foreign
currency. It began to import Dutch

Warmbloods around age 1 1/2, then train them

for competitive jumping before selling them
at age 3.
In the days before an auction, jockeys and
trainers like Jose Luis Vaquero can be seen
brushing their purebred wards coats and braiding their manes so that everything is perfect.
You have to take care of the horse, look
after it every day, Vaquero said.
The National Equestrian Club is run by Flora
and Fauna, a state business that promotes the
islands natural resources. It keeps 117 horses
in stables in Lenin Park on the outskirts of
Havana.
Cuba, which splits proceeds from the auction with a Dutch equine company, uses much
of its share to fund a new initiative to breed the
horses locally rather than have to import animals at great expense.
Willy Arts, the head of the Royal Dutch
Sport Horse associations North American
wing, said there is growing demand for highquality show horses and Cubas program could
be important to people in the Western
Hemisphere looking to purchase them at more

accessible prices.
Cuba complains bitterly about training
world-class athletes who leave to make millions for themselves in other countries. If successful, the new equine initiative would produce four-hooved performers whose success
only means more revenue for the program that
produces them.
Nearly two dozen mares currently are part of
the breeding effort. Last year, three horses
born through the insemination program were
sold at prices ranging from $39,000 to
$50,000, said Maydet Vega, a veterinarian
who oversees equine programs at Rancho
Azucarero, the horse-breeding center west of
Havana where the artificial insemination program is being developed.
Breeding foals in Cuba has the additional
advantage of allowing horses to adapt to
Cubas sweltering heat and humidity from
birth, she said.
Its important to be able to produce them
on the continent, Vega said. They can adapt
to the tropical conditions of our climate so
people can have them in all countries in the
Americas.

Roman techniques. The practice paid off in
one of his first matches of the year a tournament pairing with then No. 1-ranked 115pounder in the Central Coast Section,
DelMars Diego Balaan.
Since scoring a 7-5 victory over Balaan in
that match, Casamina has earned the No. 3
ranking in the weight class.
That was my first match against a real
section placer and it was a pretty tough
match, Casamina said. That just set me off
through the whole year.
Marschall said Casamina has been setting
up the Cougars all year with his strong
starts.
Theres always a little bit of pressure no

Marschall said. It was good EdRey could
start us off with the way he did. Thats
always important. Weve just got to go out
and wrestle the best you can.
Terra Nova did flex some talent as well
Thursday by scoring some late wins. The
Tigers first victory of the night on the mat
was in the 147-pound class as Ryan

McGannon defeated Chase Lawson on a second-round pin in one of the best pairings of
the meet.
Half Moon Bay got back in the win column in the 154-pound match as junior Alex
Jeronimo defeated Rodrigo Huazano by decision. The Cougars previously won the 140pound match with junior Jasper Gananian
scored a second-round pin.
Of the final six matches, Half Moon Bay
earned four wins via forfeit, including Luis
Vasquez in the 162-pound class and Jim
Alves in the 172-pound class.
The two contested matches of the final six
each went the way of Terra Nova. In the 184pound class, Tigers senior Leo Grabowski
earned a second-round pin over Sam Bower.
In the 197-pound match, junior Jeremy
Watts scored a second-round pin over freshman Ricky Camacho.
[Watts] has now won the head-to-head for
the whole league, so hell now be the [No.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Cal wins fifth in a row

By Arnie Stapleton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOULDER, Colo. Jordan

Mathews has the California Golden
Bears on the upswing at just the
right time.
The sophomore sharpshooter led
Cal to a 68-61 win over the slumping Colorado Buffaloes on Thursday
night as the Golden Bears stretched
their winning streak to five.
Mathews hit five 3-pointers and
scored 22 points as the Golden
Bears (16-9, 6-6 Pac-12) snapped a
six-game skid in Boulder, where
they last won on Dec. 16, 1974.
Were coming together at the end
of the year and thats what you
want, Mathews said. Its my second go-round in college basketball,
its a really good feeling to have, a
five-game winning streak in
February. Hopefully, we can roll it
into March.
Tyrone Wallaces 5-foot jumper
with 21 seconds left put Cal ahead
65-61 after the Buffs had used a 13-5
run to pull within two. Sam Singer
then stole the ball at midcourt from
Askia Booker and David Kravish
was fouled and sank two free throws
to seal it.
It was huge, Sam makes plays
like that all the time, Mathews
said. He has a nose for the ball.
The Buffaloes (11-12, 4-7), who
were coming off a 28-point blowout
to Utah, lost back-to-back home
games for the first time under fifthyear coach Tad Boyle.
Mathews first 3-pointer came during a run that put the Golden Bears
ahead 26-20 before the Buffs pulled
to 28-27 at halftime.
Mathews scored 14 of his points
in the second half as the Golden
Bears never succumbed to the altitude that usually bothers so many
visitors.
Josh Scott led Colorado with 17
points in his second game back
from a bad back that had sidelined
him for eight of the previous nine
games, but he had a big miss in the
closing minutes.
Scott sank a pair of free throws
with 2:11 left to pull Colorado to

63-58 and Bookers 3-pointer with

1:40 remaining made it a two-point
game.
After Singer missed a wide-open
3-pointer from the right corner,
Scott was open for a 15-footer to tie
it, but the ball rattled out and Cal
secured the rebound.
You live in the driveway to shoot
shots like that, Scott said.
Scott said losing at home hurts a
lot. We really care about showing
love for the hometown and we want
to win for ourselves here at home.
This is our turf. We dont want people to win here. Its pretty miserable
to have the CU song playing knowing that we just lost. Thats not a
good feeling at all.
The Buffs are 9-4 at home, and
those four defeats represent the most
losses at home that Boyles teams
have ever had at Colorado.
I told our team Cals a team that
lost six in a row and now theyve
won five in a row, Boyle said. So,
I want our players to know Cal is no
more talented than we are but they
had some better individual performances tonight and thats what won
them the game.
Boyle, whose team had never
been below .500 this late in the season, wants his players to realize
they, too, can go on a run.
As bad as were feeling, it can
change, he said. But we are the
ones that have to make that
change.

Tip-ins
Cal : Wallace finished with 16
points and Kravish had 14. ...
Mathews leads the Pac-12 with 37 3pointers in league play. Hes made at
least one 3-pointer in 14 consecutive games.

Whats next
Cal visits Utah Sunday night.
Colorado hosts Stanford on
Sunday afternoon.

Giants had offered $4 million.
He was San Franciscos last player

then had back-to-back corner
kicks, but came up empty.
In the 72nd minute, the Mustangs
had another pair of corner kicks
and, after missing on the first one,
delivered the tying score on the second one. Aziz took the corner and
sent the ball into a scrum in the
middle of the Terra Nova penalty
box. Jennifer Ortega, somehow,
managed to get a piece of the ball
and it bounced through the traffic
and into the left side of the net.
Jen Ortega, her poor clearance
resulted in the (Terra Nova) goal. I
felt bad for her, Medina said. But
she redeemed herself with the goal

We just kept fighting. Managed

makes emergency landing

GOLF

ST. CLAIR, Mo. A twinengine plane carrying Missouri

basketball coach Kim Anderson
made an emergency landing at an
airport near St. Louis after one of
the engines quit working.
St. Clair Fire Chief Les Crews
says the plane reported problems
about 5 p.m. Wednesday and landed
at the St. Clair airport, about 100
miles from the campus in
Columbia.
Anderson and the two pilots were
the only people on board and no
one was injured. Crews says the
pilot did a fantastic job and landed
as if there wasnt even a problem.
Anderson, in his first year as
Missouri coach, was flying from
Columbia to Illinois on a recruiting trip. He told KOMU he heard a
small rumble before the engine
went out. He drove back to

Furyk, former Pebble winner
Brandt Snedeker and Chesson
Hadley were at 7-under 64 at
Monterey Peninsula, while J.J.

at 65 at Pebble Beach. The low
score at Spyglass Hill belonged to
Alex Prugh at 6-under 66.
Jason Day, coming off a playoff
win at Torrey Pines that included
Holmes, struggled to a 72 at
Pebble Beach. He wasnt even the
low Day in the day. Glen Day, in
his final year before he is eligible
for the Champions Tour, shot a 5under 66 at Monterey Peninsula.
Holmes had a start as ideal as the
weather. He holed a wedge from

the game. Harmonie Ahuna got

unlucky in the third minute when
her point-blank shot beat the goalkeeper, but was cleared off the line
by Kylie Metkiff.
About 10 minutes later, a Terra
Nova defender fanned on a clearance
attempt and Ahuna pounced. She
raced toward the goal as the Terra
Nova goalkeeper came off her line.
They arrived at the loose ball at the
same time and, while Ahuna managed to get a toe on it, it went right
into the midsection of the goalkeeper, who grabbed it for a save.
Despite the near misses, Medina
didnt sweat it.
If its too early (in the game), I
dont think about it too much, he
said.
The Tigers had a handful of
chances of their own in the first 40
minutes, with Kylie Metkiff supplying the services off of free
kicks. Her forward line, however,
could not get on the end of her
crosses.

Two Terra Nova wins and a
Capuchino loss or tie would give
the title and an automatic berth

Its a nice feeling to come here

beating everybody, Medina said.

(Thursday) to win the division.

he withdrew after 11 holes. I
never quite used that term myself
to describe an injury. I never really even heard that term. So to have
him tell me that, I was just thinking, Youre kidding, right?
Daly, however, caused the
biggest stir. It was his best start
since a 64 in the Byron Nelson
Championship in 2005.
He can deliver a good round or
win a major, for that matter out
of nowhere. Still, this wouldnt
seem to be the place for it. Daly
tied for 20th at Pebble Beach in
his rookie season in 1991 and he
hasnt made the cut in 10 tries
since then. And he still hasnt.
That wouldnt shock me, Daly
said when told of his record. I
still havent made it yet.
Next up is a trip to Monterey
Peninsula, and Daly isnt sure
what to expect. Part of him was
still in shock over the colors
emerald green on the fairways,

blue in the ocean and that big yellow ball in the sky, always a welcome guest.
Of course, he had those colors
and more in the pattern of his
Loudmouth pants. Daly said that
pattern is called, In the Jungle.
Im just glad I didnt shoot
something in jungle today, he
said.
It was a simple round, or at least
he made it look that way. Daly
only missed three fairways and
took 26 putts, two areas of his
game that have cost him over the
years. And for all the great golf he
played, he couldnt stop talking
about the weather. He usually only
sees Pebble like this on a postcard.
Its just great to be able to
come out here and not have to survive the weather and survive the
golf course, he said. But well
just see what happens.
It wasnt clear if he was talking
about the weather or his game.

Innocence and mayhem

Kingsman: The Secret Service shakes up the traditional spy thriller
By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

In his earlier Kick-Ass, British writerdirector Matthew Vaughn famously cast an

11-year-old Chloe Grace Moretz as a young
killing machine in the stylishly brutal
superhero film. In his latest, Kingsman:
The Secret Service, Vaughn has again married innocence and mayhem, this time
updating the tame, traditional spy movie
with his particular brand of contemporary
moviemaking, which is to say, crassness.
Kingsman: The Secret Service is a
blithe James Bond rip-off that gleefully celebrates, parodies and self-consciously mod-

ernizes the mossy spy thriller. And with

Colin Firth in tow, as well as the winning
newcomer Taron Egerton, Kingsman
occasionally manages to do all three of
these things simultaneously with a genuine
zest for the genre trappings: the gadgets,
the megalomaniacal villains, the sardonic
wit.
But if ever there was a semi-entertaining
movie that sabotages itself with tastelessness and misogyny, this is it.
Where might Kingsman lose you? You
may get twinges of doubt when debris from
a missile explosion (set specifically in the
Middle East) bounces off the ground to
form the opening credits. The concern may
grow as bodies accumulate with the scantest

notice or reflection or when the African

American villain (Samuel L. Jackson)
serves McDonalds at an opulent dinner. And
you will, possibly, lose any remaining
faith by the time Firths agent slaughters a
congregation full of frenzied churchgoers to
the tune of Lynyrd Skynyrds Free Bird.
By the time the film settles on one of its
final images a womans naked rear,
offered to the hero she has just met any
spryness in Kingsman has emphatically
left the building, leaving a sexist stink
behind it.
The Kingsmen are an international spy
agency based in London. With their headquarters hidden behind a Savile Row tailor,
theyre handsomely dressed in bespoke

suits, oxford shoes with poisonous tips and

umbrellas that shoot bullets. Their names
come from the Knights of the Round Table:
Galahad (Firth), Lancelot (Jack Davenport)
and the head, Arthur (Michael Caine).
Galahad encourages the teen son of a fallen comrade, Eggsy (Egerton), to try out for
the agency. A proudly working-class
Londoner, hes quickly hazed by the more
posh, well-educated applicants. But under
the watchful eye of their instructor (Mark
Strong), he rises from their ranks in a series
of death-defying exercises.
Kingsman is a movie continually in
conversation with itself. Give me a far-

Frankie (Juan Amador) listens to Beth (Jessi Campbell) as Baylor (Robert Parsons) looks on in
A Lie of the Mind.

Domestic violence fuels A Lie of the Mind

By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

Domestic violence is the catalyst for Sam

Shepards A Lie of the Mind, staged by
Magic Theatre.
The perpetrator is the volatile, paranoid
Jake (Sean San Jose), who believes he has
killed his wife, Beth (Jessi Campbell). No,
she hasnt died, but shes badly brain damaged.
Both wind up in the care of their brothers
and then their families, where the seeds of
their dysfunctional relationship were sown.
Beths brother, Mike (James Wagner), is
initially solicitous of Beth as he tries to
help her recover, but he has his unsympathetic side, too.
In that respect, he takes after their father,
Baylor (Robert Parsons), who disregards the

feelings of others and treats his wife, the

sweet-tempered Meg (Julia McNeal), like a
servant.
Jakes brother, Frankie (Juan Amador), is
a basically good guy though none too
bright. Their mother, Lorraine (Catherine
Castellanos), is protective of Jake, denying
that he could have done anything wrong.
However, their sister, Sally (Elaina Garrity),
sees things clearly.
Running about three hours with one intermission, the play explores family relationships and the way that people often dont
listen to one another.
However, it would be a mistake for the
audience not to listen, because each scene is
loaded with emotional information about
the characters and their motivations as well

Boehner says presidents military

force proposal needs toughening
By David Espo and Matthew Daly
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Congressional
Republicans vowed Thursday to toughen President Barack Obamas day-old
legislation to authorize military force
against Islamic State fighters, and
House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi
warned, Its going to be hard to find
common ground.
Nothing underscored the yawning
divide between the two parties more
than Obamas request to bar enduring
offensive combat operations from the
struggle against terrorists who have
seized territory in Syria and Iraq and
beheaded hostages.
House Speaker John Boehner, ROhio, said disapprovingly that
Obamas proposal would tie his hands
even further than current law.
But Pelosi, recalling the long, difficult war in Iraq, said the president has
to be commended for proposing to
limit his own power.
Obama is seeking a three-year
authorization for the use of force
against the Islamic State militants or
any successor groups, without regard to
international boundaries. His proposal
would leave in place 2001 legislation
approving military action against alQaida following the terror attacks of
9/11.
At the same time, the president would
repeal legislation passed in 2002 in
the run-up to the invasion of Iraq. As

about which recalls impact them.
Were looking at used car sales both from
dealers and brokers as well as cars sold
between individuals and were also looking
at recalled cars in the rental industry. So
were really trying to take a fairly comprehensive approach to consumer safety and
automobile recalls, Gordon said.
Current federal law only requires dealers
fix new cars with recalls before being sold
and that manufactures simply issue notifications for used cars, according to Gordons
office. AB 287 will be the first to address
rental car recalls as well as direct sales
between individuals, Gordon said.
While the specifics of the bill have yet to
be solidified, Gordon said the legislators
announcing their intent is meant to highlight the importance of the issue as they
engage a broad range of stakeholders and
industry representatives to craft reform.
AB 287 comes on the heels of startling
data released Thursday by the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Nearly 64 million recalls in 2014 were a
stark increase from the previous record of
30.8 million in 2004 and the administration anticipates an even higher number by
the end of the year, according to the
Associated Press.
General Motors led with nearly 27 million vehicles recalled, including 2.6 million for faulty ignition switches. GM
acknowledged knowing about the flaw,
which led to car crashes killing at least 52

people, for nearly a decade, according to the
Associated Press.
Recalls cover a broad swath of severity
that will be taken into consideration as the
group works to develop the bill, Gordon
said.
Theres a huge range of recalls. There can
be recalls if the brakes arent working right,
obviously something you dont want to
drive, Gordon said. Recalls are also done
when theres a change in the owners manual; something very very simple and those
probably shouldnt stop sales. But I think
in all cases, its important for the consumer
to have the appropriate notification that
there has been a recall of any nature.
Gordon said he hopes extending recall
notifications and requirements to used cars
will help increase repair rates as experts
estimate nearly one-third of recalls are
never fixed.
Gordon said his group has already begun
to receive industry support with the
California New Car Dealers Association
joining their efforts.
With a record number of recalls in 2014
and more recalls in the news almost every
day, our dealers are increasingly getting
questions from customers who are frustrated
and confused about recalls, association
President Brian Maas said in a press release.
Even with federal safety regulators giving
increased scrutiny to the recall process, we
believe theres a need and an opportunity
for us to increase transparency for consumers and improve safety here in
California.

will assume control of the school from
March 2 until April 15. By then, the
district hopes to have found a new, permanent replacement principal, under a
plan unanimously approved by the district Board of Trustees at a special meeting on Feb. 11.
South San Francisco police Sgt. Ken
Chetcuti said the department is waiting

internal investigation before making a
public comment regarding the
McDaniels resignation Feb. 6 due to
suspected financial irregularities.
McDaniel took control of El Camino
High School last year, in the wake of
former principal David Putney being
placed on administrative leave, following a controversy regarding alleged
racial bullying of a student.
An investigation by an independent
firm found Putney acted according to
district protocol in response to the
racial bullying allegations, and cleared
him of any wrongdoing last month.
According to district spokesman
Ryan Sebers, the administration has yet
to make a decision on the long-term
fate of Putney.
The district will accept applications

Valentines Day falls on a Saturday, so
there is not the same rush to get deliveries to workplaces.
Dana Loschiavo, of Danas Flower
Basket in San Mateo, agreed the holiday season is slower than years prior,
which she attributed in part to the
uptick in popularity of online florists.
And though online retailers offer
convenience, and often advertise lower
prices, she said there is no substitute
for the personal touch local floral
shops can offer.
She warned against ordering from
retailers outside of the area, because
those businesses often care less about
the local community than a resident
and business owner in San Mateo
County might.
People give their order to someone
in Nebraska who could give a rats ass
about your relative or loved one who is
receiving the flowers, she said.
Shoppers are frequently enticed by
discounts associated with large-scale
online florists, but Loschiavo said
they do not account for fees tacked
onto the back end of the sale which can
negate any advertised savings.

position permanently, screen applications and schedule interviews over the

following week, host panel interviews
with applicants during the week of
March 23, host final interviews during
the week of March 30 and come to the
trustees with a recommendation for a
hire on April 9, according to a district
report.
Until the new principal is hired, a
yet-to-be identified district administrator will oversee the day-to-day decision
making of three current assistant principals, according to the boards decision.
Local residents have lamented the
lack of leadership the high school has
suffered over the course of the past year.
This is really unfortunate for the students at El Camino High School, said
John Baker, who has a son in a district
middle school. They are going to have
Loschiavo said competition from
Internet florists has dried up much of
the local market.
We are watching a lot of shops go
by the wayside, she said. The
Internet has kind of taken over.
The local shops that remain are
working hard to be flexible during this
busy time of year.
Julia Heredia, of The Green Fashion
florist in San Mateo, said the
Valentines Day season can be tricky
because so many shoppers wait until
the final hour to place their order,
which can lead to long hours for those
in the flower industry.
Most of the orders come in at the
last minute, she said.
The Green Fashion made 200 deliveries for Valentines Day last year, and
has been fielding about 20 to 30 orders
a day leading up the holiday this year.
Heredia recommended those writing
notes with their deliveries should try
to keep them cute and brief.
But not all Valentines Day flower
deliveries are in the spirit of appreciating a loved one.
Heredias mother Maria, who owns
the shop, said she has received orders
to deliver a cactus, rather than flowers,
for a person in a thorny relationship.
Loschiavo shared a similar story of a
jilted lover who ordered $90 of dead
roses be delivered to the workplace of

a minimum of three, probably four principals this year. They are getting some
hard lessons about adult behavior this
school year.
Baker said he feared the myriad problems facing the school would deter
some who might consider taking the
principal position.
He said the onus is on Superintendent
Alejandro Hogan and the Board of
Trustees to steer the district in the right
direction.
Baker said some residents are advocating in favor of the district installing
an official with a connection to the El
Camino High School community as
permanent principal.
Angelique Presidente, who has a son
at El Camino High School, echoed
those sentiments in an email.
The district needs to look at its current staff and place someone at ECHS
that has been in the district for many
years, someone who will bring pride
and accountability to the table, she
said.
Presidente, who graduated from El
Camino High School and whose son is
a junior there currently, said she fears
for the students through this tumultuous
period.
Although the rest of the staff at El
Camino High School has tried to push
forward and maintain a level of positivity for the students, the reality is the
students are still having to deal with it
and they are the ones who are getting
hurt through all of this, she said.
a love interest who turned him down.
She said the man ordered the flowers,
then requested them to be dried out
under the sun before delivery, because
the woman he was courting canceled
their date hours before it was supposed
to begin, and later that night he saw
her at a restaurant with another suitor.
Barnett said the holiday invites
strange behavior of all types, which
requires shop owners to stay on their
toes at all times.
She said she has had delivery drivers
get into accidents in the parking lot of
the shop, ripping the door off of the
company van.
Or she reminisced about the first year
the company was in business, when a
cooling unit too powerful for flowers
froze the stores delivery of roses on
Valentines Day, forcing her to scramble for replacements just hours before
customers expected their orders to be
dropped off to loved ones.
But ultimately, Barnett said love
does reign supreme in the days leading
up to Valentines Day. She said shes
seen customers give fellow shoppers a
few dollars if someone is short the
money to place an order.
People are really kind and help each
other out, she said.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property
lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.
You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a

lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title
to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of
outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender

STATE OR FEDERAL CREDIT UNION, OR A CHECK DRAWN BY A STATE OR
FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION, A SAVINGS ASSOCIATION OR
SAVINGS BANK SPECIFIED IN SECTION 5102 OF THE FINANCIAL CODE AND AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THIS STATE:
All right, title, and interest conveyed and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described as
Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it
is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt.
More fully described in said Deed of Trust
Street Address or other common designation of real property: : 1262 East Huntington
Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066
A.P.N.: 014-263-240
The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above.
The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the
note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the
obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is:
$598,750.63
If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's
sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and
the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.
The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a
written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located.
NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property
lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.
You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a
trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the
property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior
lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title
to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of
outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender
may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be
postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information
about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a
courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date
has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of
this property, you may call (866) 960-8299, visit this Internet Web site http://www.altisource.com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices/Sales.aspx using

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a

property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior
lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title
to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of
outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender
may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be
postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information
about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a
courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date

Marathon talks produce Ukraine peace deal; cease-fire Sunday

By Yuras Karmanau and Jim Heintz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MINSK, Belarus The peace deal reached

Thursday for Ukraine, if it holds, would be a
partial win for both Moscow and Kiev:
Ukraine retains the separatist eastern
regions and regains control of its border with
Russia, while Russia holds strong leverage
to keep Ukraine from ever becoming part of
NATO.
But neither side came away from the
marathon talks unscathed.
Theres no sign Russia will soon escape
the Western sanctions that have driven its
economy down sharply, and Kievs price for
regaining control of the border with Russia
is to grant significant new power to the east.
But the complicated calculus of whether
any side came out truly ahead cant be determined unless a single, straightforward term
is fulfilled: halting the shooting and
artillery salvos that have killed more than
5,300 people since April. That is supposed
to happen on Sunday, at one minute after
midnight.
A cease-fire called in September never fully
took hold and fighting escalated sharply in
the past month. Questions remain about
whether either side possesses the will or discipline to ensure a truce this time.

Russia, Ukraine, Germany and France, the

next step is to form a sizeable buffer zone
between Ukrainian forces and Russia-backed
rebels. Each side is to pull heavy weaponry
back from the front line, creating a zone
roughly 30-85 miles (50-140 kilometers)
wide, depending on the weapon caliber.
Then come the knotty and volatile political questions.
While Russian President Vladimir Putin
told reporters the deal envisages special status for Ukraines separatist regions,
Ukraines president, Petro Poroshenko,
maintained there was no consensus on any
sort of autonomy or federalization for eastern Ukraine.
In addition, the agreement foresees the
regions being able to form their own police
forces and to trade freely with Russia, both of

European Union leaders agree on new anti-terror measures

By John-Thor Dahlberg
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BRUSSELS Spurred to action by last

months terror attacks in France, European
Union leaders agreed Thursday on an ambitious range of new steps to better protect
their countries from terrorism.
Actions unanimously endorsed at an EU
summit meeting include the sharing of
airline passenger data, tougher border
controls on travelers and the detection

U.S. commander wants flexibility

in Afghanistan troop drawdown
WASHINGTON The top U.S. military
commander for Afghanistan told senators
Thursday that he has asked for greater flexibility in how quickly he pulls troops out of
Afghanistan and where he can position them
around the country in the coming months.
Army Gen. John Campbell provided few
details during testimony before the Senate
Armed Services Committee. He said, however, that he has presented military leaders
with several options that would allow him to

All citizens have the right to live free
from fear, whatever their opinions or
beliefs, the EU leaders declared in a joint
statement. We will safeguard our common
values and protect all from violence based
on ethnic or religious motivations and
racism.
Gilles de Kerchove, the EUs top counter-terrorism official, told the Associated
Press that the leaders action plan, some
of which still requires approval by the
European Parliament to go into effect,

better continue training and assisting
Afghan forces, particularly through this
summers peak fighting season.
Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani has
pushed for a slower withdrawal of troops
from his country, giving them more time to
work with Afghan forces who will be fighting largely on their own this summer for the
first time.
Current plans call for the U.S. to go from
about 10,800 troops there now to 5,500 by
years end.

will make Europeans safer.

It keeps reducing our vulnerabilities,
De Kerchove said. In a report to the 28 EU
member countries last month, De Kerchove
warned Europe is facing an unprecedented,
diverse and serious terrorist threat.
Counter-terrorism policy shot to the top
of the EU agenda following the Jan. 7-9
attacks in Paris against a satirical weekly, a
policewoman and a kosher grocery store
that claimed a total of 17 victims. The three
gunmen, who proclaimed allegiance to AlQaida in Yemen and the Islamic State group,

were also shot dead by French police.

The attacks mobilized France and other
EU member countries to seek more effective
ways to deal with armed Islamic militancy,
especially the problem of radicalized
European-born Muslims who go to fight in
Syria or Iraq and then return home.
The bloody violence in the French capital
was a game-changer for EU counter-terrorism efforts, said Alexandra de Hoop
Scheffer, senior trans-Atlantic fellow and
director of the Paris office of the German
Marshall Fund think tank.
