Local legislators applauded Gov.

Jerry Browns emphasis on fiscal
restraint in his State of the State
address Thursday, yet are urging that
funds be allocated toward addressing
challenges facing the Bay Area.
In shying away from any new programs that would require ongoing support, Brown instead alluded to needing to develop revenue sources to
help reduce the states dependency on

volatile source that accounts for 70

took a muted tone Thursday as he delivered his State of the State address to the

In a recurring theme that sets the

debates, he called on lawmakers to find
a permanent revenue source to maintain roads, bridges and other infrastructure that he said now need $77 billion in repairs.

Lujan appointed to South City school board

South San Francisco Unified School District board again complete after filling two vacancies
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The South San Francisco Unified School

District is set to chart a fresh course under
new leadership, as officials appointed
Daina Lujan to fill the final remaining
vacancy on the Board of Trustees.
Trustees unanimously agreed during a
meeting Wednesday, Jan. 20, to select
Lujan as the newest member of the board,
replacing Rick Ochsenhirt, who died last
month.
Lujan, a principal at Meadow Elementary
School in Millbrae and a South San
Francisco planning commissioner, said
she is thrilled by the appointment.
Im definitely very excited about the
boards decision to appoint me as a
trustee, she said. Im looking forward to
working with the fellow trustees to make
South San Francisco a place that is great to
grow and thrive.
Lujans appointment comes roughly one
week after the board selected John Baker to
fill the vacancy left by former trustee
Maurice Goodman, who was elected to the
San Mateo County Community College
District Board of Trustees in November.
Lujan, a San Mateo County native who
has lived in South San Francisco since
2009, said she believes her background as
a professional educator as well as an experienced public board member will adequately prepare her for joining the board.
Board President Patrick Lucy agreed
Lujans track record solidified her case for
joining the board.
She has a lot of community-based experience, and a lot around education, and that
helps, he said.
Lujan, 36, was selected ahead of Kristina
Anderson, April Black, Patricia Murray,
Reem Nasrah and Martin Romero, who had
also expressed interest in the seat.
Lucy, Vice President Rosa Acosta and

Trustee Judy Bush nominated Lujan, Nasrah and

Black as finalists from
the pool of interested
candidates, before unanimously agreeing to their
selection.
Under her appointment to the board, Lujan
Daina Lujan will be required to resign
from her position on the
citys Planning Commission, she said.
The appointment is one of those bittersweet things, she said. I loved serving as
a planning commissioner for the last
year.
One of her passions as a planning commissioner was helping to ensure local students could walk and bike safely in South
San Francisco, an interest she also served
while working for the San Mateo County
Office of Education as the safe routes to
school coordinator, where she worked until
2014.
She also taught previously in Pacifica,
where she was raised, for six years, which
was her first professional experience in the
classroom.
Now in her first year as a principal, after
serving as an assistant principal in the
Jefferson Elementary School District,
Lujan said she has enjoyed her transition
into an administrative role.
As a teacher she said she honed her ability to build a small community comprised of
her students and their parents, which was
designed to improve the learning environment both in the classroom and beyond.
Lujan adopted the same approach to serving as a principal, she said, and now
addresses the students and families at her
school as a similar sort of community, but
on a much larger scale.
As a principal, she has been committed
to supporting teachers, which is an initiative she said she plans to bring to the

South San Francisco school board.
Teachers in the district enjoyed a raise
last year, which Lujan said she is hopeful
the board will be able to grant again this
year, and expand that effort to offering pay
hikes to classified staff as well.
She said she believes teachers play an
integral role in developing the communitys relationship with its local school district, and wants the school board to help
foster that bond.
I definitely want to continue the work
the board has done to support teachers,
she said. I really look forward to working
with the school board to bring the community together.
Lujan has one son who will enter the
school district in South San Francisco next
year, and her husband Dan works as a video
editor at LinkedIn.
As she looks for opportunity to build the
school district as a central hub for South
San Francisco residents to rally around,
Lujan said she is hopeful officials can work
to promote the value of the citys diversity.
South San Francisco is a city with many
different micro communities and I want to
seize the opportunity to support children
by embracing differences, so students see
difference not as a deficiency, but something to celebrate, she said.
Lujan and Baker are set to be officially
sworn onto the board next month.

Clinton TV ads hammer guns

in N.H. but shy away in Iowa
By Chad Day
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Senator Bernie Sanders speaks at a campaign stop in Peterborough, N.H.

WASHINGTON Broadcast TV viewers in

New Hampshire should recognize Hillary
Clintons stance on gun control by now.
One of every four political ads shes aired in
the state over the past month has been about
tougher gun laws.
But in Iowa, only 1 in 17 of Clintons
spots has featured her stance on gun control.
Television viewers in the rural southeast
corner of the state havent seen a single ad
about guns from the Clinton campaign in
the past month, according to an Associated
Press analysis.
While the national Democratic front-runner has made gun control prominent in
REUTERS
debates and interviews, shes only pressing
the point on broadcast TV in New
Hampshire. Its a disparity that reflects her
strategy of trying to distinguish herself
there from rival Bernie Sanders, who leads
in polls in New Hampshire but not in Iowa,
said Tim Hagle, a political science professor
at the University of Iowa.

Sanders health plan more

generous than Medicare
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders calls his plan

for a government-run health care system
Medicare for all. But its not.
With full coverage for long-term care,
most dental work included, no deductibles
and zero copays, the Sanders plan is far
more generous. Think of it as Medicare on
growth hormones.
Ideology aside, the sweeping scope of
Sanders plan and a lack of detail have
raised questions. Some health care experts
see it mainly as a political document to
distinguish Sanders revolutionary ideas
from Hillary Clintons incremental
approach.
Sanders runs the risk of looking like he
is living in a fantasy land, for putting forward an idea he cant possibly deliver during his term in office, said Drew Altman,
president of the nonpartisan Kaiser Family
Foundation.

Last Sunday, the Vermont senator

released an 8-page outline of his plan for
cradle-to-grave government-sponsored
coverage for all. The campaign estimates
it would cost $1.38 trillion a year, paid for
with new taxes that would take the place of
private health insurance premiums.
Medicare doesnt cover long-term care,
not to mention dentures, and seniors face
deductibles and cost-sharing when they go
to the doctor. Many buy an additional private insurance policy to cover Medicare
gaps. BernieCare, as it is being called,
would be above and beyond.
Its not Medicare for all, said
Republican economist Gail Wilensky, who
ran Medicare under former President George
H.W. Bush. Its nonsense to talk about it
as if it were. Youre just giving people a
comfort level thats inappropriate.
Sanders plan is also different because the
government would have to take an
assertive role managing access to new
technologies and drugs in order to control
costs, Wilensky said.

campaign ads using data

from the Campaign
Media Analysis Group of
New York-based Kantar
Media, which tracks
political advertising.
The data contain details
on the content of ads
aired on broadcast teleHillary Clinton vision and national
cable television. Spots
on local cable arent included.
In Iowa, Clintons gun-control ads have
been outpaced by spots on health care, the
economy, wages and student-loan debt. Over
the past month, broadcast TV viewers in
Iowa were 23 times more likely to see her ad
on the wage gap than an ad featuring the
Democratic front-runner expressing support
for President Barack Obamas stance on gun
control, according to the data. Gun-control
spots made up less than 6 percent of the
more-than-5,100 broadcast TV ads shes
aired in Iowa over the past month.
It may have to do with the polls and that
the hunting tradition is stronger here in
Iowa, Hagle said.

U.S. program aims to get immigrants into court to track cases

By Amy Taxin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES With tens of thousands

of Central American immigrants arriving
on the U.S.-Mexico border in the last two
years, federal authorities are launching a
program Thursday to encourage more of
them to show up for their hearings in
immigration court.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement

hired a contractor to help some immigrant
families find transportation, housing and
low-cost lawyers, hoping that getting
them on stable footing will make them
more likely to attend court hearings that
determine whether they should be allowed
to stay in the country or deported.
When immigrants show up for court, federal authorities can keep track of asylum
cases to ensure those who lose return

home. Advocates want immigrants to

attend the hearings because they believe
many of those arriving from El Salvador,
Guatemala and Honduras have a strong shot
of winning asylum but must be in court to
do so. Judges routinely issue deportation
orders for those who dont show.
As many as 800 families who pass an
initial asylum screening can join the program in Los Angeles, New York,
Washington, Chicago and Miami starting
Thursday. Caseworkers will help newly
arriving immigrants with tasks such as
finding transportation to immigration
court and enrolling their children in
school. Later, they will help those who
lose their bids to stay in the country head
home.
The program will cost $11 million a year
and reach a tiny sliver of the 54, 000
Central American immigrants with children who have arrived on the southwestern
border since October 2014. It comes as the
Obama administration faces court-imposed

limits on the detention of immigrant families and as authorities began arresting

those who lost their asylum cases in raids
earlier this month.
Those eligible for the program include
pregnant women, nursing mothers and
immigrants with mental illness, ICE said.
We are looking at Central American
mothers, predominantly heads of households, because that is what were seeing
now as the biggest population to be
served, said Andrew Lorenzen-Strait, a
deputy assistant director for enforcement
and removal at ICE.
Since 2014, immigrant families have
been sent to family detention centers or
released and told to appear in immigration
court.
Nearly 790 deportation orders have been
issued for immigrants with children who
have arrived since July 2014 and were
detained. More than two-thirds were for
those who didnt show up for hearings,
court statistics show.

WASHINGTON The Obama administration tightened restrictions on European and

other travelers who have visited Iran, Iraq,
Syria or Sudan in the last five years, even as
it said the new rules may not apply to those
in certain occupations who have traveled for
business.
The move quickly angered Republican
lawmakers who accused the administration
of circumventing the will of Congress.
The administration said Thursday that
people who traveled to those countries as
journalists, for work with humanitarian
agencies or on behalf of international

organizations, regional organizations and

provincial or local governments may still
be eligible to visit the United States without
first obtaining a visa.
People who have traveled to Iran since
July 14, 2015, or Iraq for legitimate business-related purposes can also apply to
come to the United States under the visa
waiver program.
The Homeland Security Department said
waivers for some applicants to the
Electronic System for Travel Authorization,
or ESTA, will be granted on a case-by-case
basis. Those travelers who are denied visafree travel can still apply for visa through a
U.S. embassy in their home country.

things down.
On Thursday afternoon, she got her
wish. The capitals subway system
announced that it will shut down
entirely late Friday night and remain
closed through Sunday for the sake of

employee
and
rider
safety.
Underground stations usually stay
open during major snowstorms.
The director of the National Weather
Service said all the ingredients have
come together to create blizzards with
brutally high winds, dangerous inland
flooding, white-out conditions and
even the possibility of thunder snow,
when lightning strikes through a
snowstorm.
The snowfall, expected to continue
from late Friday into Sunday, could
easily cause more than $1 billion in
damage and paralyze the Eastern third

Louis Uccellini sad.

WASHINGTON In what environmentalists hailed as a

victory for efforts to curb climate change, an appeals panel
in Washington on Thursday rebuffed efforts to delay enforcement of President Barack Obamas plan to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions until legal challenges are resolved.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia
Circuit issued an order denying requests for a stay that would
have barred the Environmental Protection Agency from
implementing the Clean Power Plan.
The plan has been challenged by more than two dozen
mostly Republican-led states and allied business and industry groups tied to fossil fuels. The states deride the carboncutting plan as an unlawful power grab that will kill coalmining jobs and drive up electricity costs.
Thursdays order allows federal regulation of carbon emissions pending the courts review of the case, set for June 2.
Obama press secretary Josh Earnest said the White House
was pleased with the decision.
We are confident that the plan will reduce carbon pollution and deliver better air quality, improved public health
and jobs across the country, Earnest said. We look forward
to continuing to work with states and other stakeholders
taking steps to implement the Clean Power Plan.
West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, whose
state is heavily reliant on coal mining, said his office will
consider urging the U.S. Supreme Court to halt what he
termed the ongoing, irreversible harm caused by the new
federal regulations.
Implementation of the rules is considered essential to the
United States meeting emissions-reduction targets in a
global climate agreement signed in Paris last month. The
Obama administration and environmental groups also say
the plan will spur new clean-energy jobs.
The federal plan aims to stave off the worst predicted
impacts of climate change by reducing carbon dioxide emissions at existing power plants by about one-third by 2030.
The plan also encourages further development of alternative
energy sources such as wind and solar by further ratcheting
down any emissions allowed from new coal-fired power
plants.

Coroner identifies man

found near Devils Slide
The San Mateo County Coroners Office
has identified a body found Wednesday afternoon near Devils Slide north of Montara as
20-year-old Steven Manners.
A hiker reported he saw Manners body
about 150 feet down a cliff at 3:53 p.m.,
according to the San Mateo County Sheriffs
Office.
Sheriffs deputies and firefighters
responded at about 4 p.m. to an area along
state Highway 1 about 100 yards south of
the Tom Lantos Tunnel, sheriffs spokesman
Salvador Zuno said.
Rescuers hiked down to Manners and pronounced him dead at 4:46 p.m.
Investigators do not know whether
Manners fell down the cliff or was hiking
near the area where he was found, more than
halfway down to the beach. Zuno said preliminary information indicates there is no
sign of foul play in Manners death.

Cal trai n isnt letting the Super Bo wl
get in the way of its annual onboard count
of riders, well, maybe a little.
The transit agency usually conducts its
count this time of the year and ends it
some time in February because there are
typically fewer holidays and special event
that could affect ridership numbers.
However, Super Bo wl 5 0 on Feb. 7 is
causing the count to be suspended for 10
days because of anticipated heavy ridership. The count will now end in early to
mid-March, according to Caltrain.
Weekdays, every rider on every train is
counted for one week and averaged over
ve days. Weekends, riders on every train
are counted for over a single weekend. The
number of bike boardings and the number

of bike riders not able to board the train

due to overcrowding also will continue to
be counted. Average weekday ridership has
more than doubled since 1997, when it
was 24,597, compared to 2015, when it
was 58,429. Caltrain typically sees its
heaviest ridership months in the summer
and lasting through fall. Last year was no
exception, with ridership data breaking
60,000 average weekday riders multiple
times over that period. The annual ridership count will conrm whether those
trends are accurate and help the agency

Oyster Points perfect storm

By Sabrina Brennan

ea level rise and this years

Godzilla El Nio weather
pattern are coming together in
a perfect storm this week as King
Tides ood the Bay Area for a third
month in a row. South San
Franciscos marina at Oyster Point
will experience ooding as a consequence of landll subsidence.
Late last year, the San Francisco
Bay Regional Water Quality Control
Board sent an enforcement letter to
the city of South San Francisco
regarding recurrent ooding overtopping an old clay cap that covers the
Oyster Point landll. Environmental
reports indicate that the cap should be
replaced; as oodwater seeps through
the clay, contaminants could be
migrating into the Bay through poorly constructed mud berms.
In a Daily Journal article published
earlier this month, South San
Francisco City Manager Mike Futrell
said Oyster Point has proven to be
valuable and is an admirable example
of how to turn an old landll into an
asset that earns the San Mateo
County Harbor District $1.5 million
a year. The article neglects to mention that operating costs at Oyster
Point are $3.5 million annually. A $2
million annual shortfall is subsidized
by countywide property tax.
Lets take a look at why a cityowned landll is subsidized by countywide property tax. In 1957, the city
of South San Francisco discontinued
open air burning of trash and established a solid waste disposal site on
Bay wetlands. Consistent with landll practices at that time, an imper-

meable liner was

never installed at
the site. Instead,
waste materials
were placed directly onto Bay mud. A
basic principle of
landll design is to
keep water out and
to prevent trash
and contaminants from seeping into
the Bay or groundwater.
In 1962, while poorly compacted
municipal and industrial waste, prone
to subsidence, was being dumped on
Bay wetlands, The Industrial City
simultaneously constructed a small
craft harbor along the north shore of
the Oyster Point Landll.
Around 1976, the closure of the
landll prompted South City ofcials
to make a sweetheart deal with the
Harbor District to obtain a subsidy
from county taxpayers for their marina. In 1977, South City and the
Harbor District entered into a Joint
Powers Agreement that terminates in
2026. The JPA resulted in countywide
property tax funding South City marina operations and expansion projects.
Subsidizing operations at Oyster
Point has resulted in deferred maintenance at Pillar Point Harbor. Pillar
Point Harbor (PPH) is one of the few
commercial shing ports in
California and its owned and operated
by the Harbor District. The Harbor
Patrol provide search and rescue emergency response, tenant occupancy
rates are consistently high and its
the only harbor of refuge from Santa
Cruz to San Francisco. PPH provides
ocean-dependent recreation and a
local source for sustainable seafood.

Guest
perspective
A strong case can be made for funding
PPH emergency response, repairs and
improvements with tax dollars.
Is South City better equipped to
staff and operate their marina; why
wait 10 years for the JPA to expire?
On Jan. 13, the South San Francisco
City Council approved spending
$25,000 on a topographical study of
landll subsidence at Oyster Point. A
similar proposal was on the Jan. 20
Harbor Commission agenda. In what
appears to be a goodwill gesture,
Harbor District general manager Steve
McGrath recommended the commission approve $25,000 for a landll
subsidence topographical study.
McGraths staff report species that
the money would not set a cost-sharing precedent and is not a commitment to correct landll subsidence
resulting from a pre-existing condition. The scope of the study has not
been determined, however, it appears
to be a rst step in addressing decades
of landll subsidence. The study will
need to consider current King Tide
conditions and future ood conditions
based on projected sea level rise and
additional subsidence.

Millbrae Station Area Plan
Editor,
Kudos to Dan Quigg for his guest
perspective, Revenue Needed in
Millbrae Specic Plan in the Jan. 15
edition of the Daily Journal. It is past
time for the interests of Millbrae residents to be taken into account. Those
from elsewhere seem to feel that
Millbrae is here to be exploited for
its proximity to the airport. Millbrae
receives most of the burdens but few
of the benets of the airport
Burlingame and San Bruno receive
income from most of the hotels and
light industry while Millbrae just
gets the noise and trafc. The
Millbrae BART station is a convenience to commuters from around the
north peninsula, but that end-of-theline station dumps transients from all
over the Bay Area on Millbrae. Now
comes the Millbrae BART develop-

ment project and a plan to stuff that

plot with affordable housing, leaving Millbrae with crowding and infrastructure issues. The out-of-town
developers will walk off with their
prots and the politicians will brag
that they have provided supposedly
low-cost housing while we are left to
deal with the burdens of accommodating a new town within our town.
This is a dening moment for
Millbrae. Its importance dwarfs the
restaurant-without-parking asco.
Meanwhile, the City Council wont
even hear the concerns of the school
board over school crowding. The residents of Millbrae are looking to their
elected representatives to protect
their community, not to provide profits for real estate developers and
talking points for politicians.

Editor,
Theres a reason why recreational
usage was in the original
Development Agreement for the
Bridgepointe ice rink.
It was never penciled out not
then and not now. So what has
changed? A recreational component is
essential to the wholesomeness of
any mixed-use development.
Let it be. Leave it alone. Pray that
the San Mateo City Council will act
for the good of the community, not
for some developers pocket.

What will define our

era of architecture?

here is a building on Oak Street at Laguna Street in

San Francisco that sprouted from the area where the
Central Freeway ramp was taken down more than a
decade ago.
It is a platypus of a building. An amalgamation of materials and styles that mimic the Victorian era but add in elements of modern design steel and glass with bay windows, faux brick and wood in various patterns. In short, its
awful.
And yet I cant help to think that someone somewhere
thought it would be a good idea to have an homage to a
renowned architectural era and bring in modern components
to give it new life. But it might have been rst attempted
as a modern building and someone in the Planning Department
said it had to blend into the
neighborhood marked by
ancient three-level Victorians
since cut up into condominiums
and apartments. So with the
opportunity for new housing in
the area once occupied by a freeway ramp, it was decided a hulking apartment building would be
a good t, as long as it blended
in. But it doesnt.
I see the same when it comes
to architecture proposed for the
Peninsula. There were some
pretty nice buildings constructed at the turn of the century and
soon after down here. Take a look at downtown San Mateo
and you can see them. The House of Merkel, where Kingsh
is now, the livery building at the corner of B Street and First
Avenue, the Medical Arts building at the corner of Ellsworth
and Third avenues, Fire Station 21 on Ellsworth Avenue. A
good example of a new building blending into its current
environment is the 101 Ellsworth building just to the east
of the re station. It mimics the historic re station, the last
remnant of the citys downtown civic center, but takes it
higher, creating an expansive, proud and distinctive classical design with modern elements. It is a picture of a successful blend of old and new.
In other areas, blending old and new has been challenging. One could argue that the Apple building on Burlingame
Avenue does not match the streets aesthetic at all, considering the historic architecture of the bank building it replaced.
However, it is unique enough that it states its own case quite
well as a new member of the avenue. Another example is the
rebuilt Walgreens on El Camino Real. It matches the style of
the street and looks like its been there a while. Its not distinctive, but its nice.
Burlingame ofcials are now grappling with two recent
proposals that dont seem to match up well with the surrounding neighborhood. One, an ofce building on
Highland Avenue just north of the former Greyhound station
has been met with some opposition because of its modern
design and height. Another, at the former Olde English
Garage on Howard Avenue, was met with some opposition
because it does not blend into the residential neighborhood
to the east nor match the historic commercial district across
California Drive and the train tracks to the west.
Sometimes the issue becomes how best to blend in with
the current architecture of an area while also creating a new
presence that is uniquely dened by our current era. Trouble
is, I dont think we have determined what our current eras
architectural presence is just yet. Lately, there have been
many proposals and construction of stone and stucco
facades on four-story buildings with a variety of neutral
tones. Maybe a splash of a bright color because an architect
chose to make a statement while adhering to the communitys and planners comments during the public planning
process. Multiple materials, multiple colors and multiple
patterns seem to be de rigueur. Yet nothing seems to stand
out to say anything much besides it being a new building
with a new use.
So it is a question of what exactly do we want to do with
our new buildings? Do they blend in, or create something
new? Combining the two can be successful but, more often
than not, it leads to the banal. And maybe that is what we
are now in this day and age. Banal. Safe. Four-story bland
buildings may soon dene our era.
Im not suggesting that we ignore the past and move away
from it. Far from it. The architectural beauty of some of our
older buildings gives us character and dene the Peninsula as
a place. Some are a marvel to explore with the eye and we
should account for the past, and perhaps borrow from it well
as we move into the future. If we choose to blend in, we
should do so with distinction. If we choose something new,
we should do something new. As we make those decisions
about what we want our cities to look like in the future, it
might be time to be a bit creative and, dare I say, interesting. But at least choose a path we can be proud of in 50
years.

NEW YORK Stocks rose Thursday

and recovered some of their steep losses
from the day before. The price of oil also
recovered from a big decline. That lifted
energy companies, which have been
struggling as energy prices tumble.
European markets also rose on hopes
the European Central Bank will do
more to aid the regions economy.
In the U.S., energy stocks climbed as
oil prices bounced back from their
worst day in four months, and strong
earnings from Verizon lifted telecom
stocks. Blue chip stocks did better than
the rest of the market. The Dow Jones
industrial average had its second-best
day of 2016.
The Dow added 115.94 points, or 0.7
percent, to 15,882.68. The Standard &
Poors 500 index rose 9.66 points, or
0.5 percent, to 1,868.99. The Nasdaq
composite index added less than half a
point and closed at 4,472.06.
Stocks were on pace for much larger
gains earlier in the day. The Dow was
up 272 points shortly after noon,
which would have canceled out
Wednesdays loss.
U.S. crude rose $1.18, or 4.2 percent, to close at $29.53 a barrel in New
York. On Wednesday U.S. crude took its
biggest one-day loss since September.
Brent crude, a benchmark for international oils, rose $1.37, or 4.9 percent,

to $29.25 a barrel in London.

Energy stocks have crumbled as the
price of oil fell from $100 a barrel in
mid-2014. The price of oil is the lowest its been since 2003.
Natural gas company Southwestern
Energy jumped after saying it will
eliminate around 1,100 jobs, or 44 percent of its work force, in the next few
months. Its shares added $1.42, or
19.2 percent, to $8.80. Coal and natural gas company Consol Energy surged
97 cents, or 19.1 percent, to $6.04.
Pipeline company Kinder Morgan rose
$1.87, or 15.6 percent, to $13.88.
Consol and Southwestern were the

S&P 500 stocks in 2015.
European Central Bank head Mario

The ECB has been buying government-backed bonds as part of its efforts
to stimulate the regions economy.
Yields on 10-year bonds issued by

Is that credit card with the

annual fee really worth it?
By Ken Sweet
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The biggest months

for adding and dropping credit cards are
December and January, so nows the
time to make sure that $95 annual fee
is really worth it.
Chances are, its not.
Generally, for the average credit
card holder, it is not likely they are
going to use a card with a high annual
fee enough to justify it, said Matt
Schulz, a credit card expert with
Creditcards.com, which is owned by
Bankrate.com.
Banks raked in $90.3 billion in credit card fees in 2014, according to
Bankrate, and additional fee hikes last
year by some companies mean that
number is only going to grow.
American Express raised the fee on its
popular Premier Reward Gold Card and
its co-branded credit card with
Starwood Hotels from $65 to $95 last
year, for example.
Schulz says banks are lowering
interest rates they are charging on
cardholders who carry a balance, but
raising annual fees to help generate
income.

Some things to consider

WHY PAY AN
ANNUAL FEE AT ALL?
Maybe because you have no
choice: Some cards aimed at people
with poor credit carry fees because
these customers are considered
high-risk.
But often cards with annual fees
come with some kind of benefit
that the user thinks is a good deal.
There are dozens of cards issued by
banks that allow users to earn
frequent flier miles or points
toward a free hotel stay. Others
offer perks, like access to tickets
before they are on sale to the
broader public, or the ability to
check a bag on a flight without
having to pay a fee.
There are even some cash-back
cards that also carry an annual fee.
IF YOU MUST PAY,
MAKE SURE ITS WORTH IT
Calculating the value of some
credit card benefits, like ones that
let you check a bag free on an
airline, is straightforward. If you fly
United and check a bag $25 a
pop, usually more than four
times a year, you have more than
justified the $95 annual fee on
Chases United Visa card.
Sometimes the perk is something
a user wants bad enough to pay for
it.
American Express Platinum Card
charges a hefty $450 annual fee but
includes $200 in fee credits toward
a customers selected airline. The

card also gives the user airport

lounge access, and a day pass for
an American Airlines or United
lounge runs $50.If I check a lot of
bags, that card costs me $250, not
$450, said Edward Pizzarello, cofounder of insideflyer.com.Theres
also a value getting access to
(American Express) Centurion
lounges.
One rule of thumb to calculate
whether reward points in general
are worth the money, according to
The Points Guy website: If you are
getting more than one penny of
reward per point earned, you are
getting a decent deal. Less, and you
can very likely do better elsewhere.
YOURE BETTER
OFF WITHOUT ONE
Nearly all rewards credit cards
require a large amount of a
particular type of spending to justify
the fee. If youre not doing that, then
youre wasting money.
For example, AmExs Blue Cash
Preferred Card has a $75 annual fee
but gives 6 percent cash back on
purchases at a grocery store up to
$6,000. If you spend a lot on
groceries, than the AmEx card may
be right for you. But if someone else
in your house buys the groceries,
youll be getting just 1 percent on
most of the other things you by.
That means youd have to rack up
$7,500 in charges in a year to make
up the fee, never mind earning any
real cash back.

The best bet, usually, is a cash back

card with no annual fee. You wont
be tempted to buy stuff that looks
like a bargain if you buy it with
points, but it may be stuff you dont
need. Getting cash back gives you
the power to do whats best with
your money like pay off any
credit card balances as soon as
possible.
IF ALL ELSE FAILS,
THREATEN TO WALK
The credit card industry is extremely
competitive, as you may be able to
tell from all the credit card offers
you get. Banks dont want to lose
your business.
Annual fees can be negotiated, both
Schulz and Pizzarello said.While not
every company will waive the entire
fee, sometimes the company will
reduce the fee or throw in an extra

After tough holiday season, small retailers are strategizing

By Joyce M. Rosenberg
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK (AP) A disappointing

holiday shopping season has small and
independent retailers thinking about
how to get customers interested in
shopping in 2016.
After holiday sales fell 25 percent
compared to a year earlier at Standout
Style Boutique, a womens clothing
store in Chicago, owner Tamika Maria
Price is making plans for a brighter
year.

to establish more of an emotional connection with shoppers. Shes also plan-

ning events like networking sessions

and style and makeup lessons at the
store that she hopes will turn attendees
into long-term customers.
Price felt she needed to do more than
simply slash prices because she more
than doubled her discounts on some
items during the holiday season, more
than she expected. That contributed to
her drop in revenue.
That tears a whole in your bottom
line when youre already reasonably
priced, she says.
January is the time for retailers to
evaluate every aspect of their business
and start making changes to improve
sales, says Bob Phibbs, CEO of The

Retail Doctor, a consulting company

based in Coxsackie, New York. The
type of merchandise they sell, the
appearance of their stores, their marketing programs and staff training should
all be re-examined, he says.
Strategizing is particularly important
after a tough holiday season. Sales fell
short of expectations across the retail
industry; the National Retail Federation
estimated sales rose 3 percent to about
$626 billion, below the trade groups
3.7 percent forecast. Unusually warm
weather cut into demand for merchandise like sweaters and coats, but revenue
was also hurt by stores need to discount
to compete with other retailers.

David Lefkowitz, senior equity strategist at UBS Wealth Management, said
the ECB is responding to the current turmoil in the markets while the Fed wants
to keep raising interest rates and
Chinese economic policy seems to be
in disarray.
Lefkowitz thinks the market could get
another lift next week if the Fed
acknowledges the turbulent state of the
markets at its January meeting. The Fed
raised interest rates for the first time in
almost a decade in December, and
Lefkowitz said investors are hoping for
signs the Fed plans to go slowly.
At least one of the major central
banks is willing to be ... more pragmatic and recognize that when facts change,
you may need to revisit your policies,
he said.
Telecom stocks rose after Verizon, the
largest U.S. cellphone carrier, said it
turned a profit in the fourth quarter and
held on to more customers. Its shares
gained $1.45, or 3.3 percent, to
$45.87. AT&T shares added 64 cents, or
1.9 percent, to $34.54.
Consumer stocks also gained ground.
Wal-Mart rose $1.04, or 1.7 percent, to
$61.88. Its the only Dow component
that has risen this year, though its up
only 1 percent. Department store operator Nordstrom picked up $1.64, or 3.6
percent, to $47.74 and Home Depot
gained $3.76, or 3.2 percent, to

Business briefs
Russian ruble keeps on falling, hits new record low
MOSCOW The Russian ruble has hit another historic
low against the dollar as oil prices continue to slide due to a
surplus of crude oil on world markets.
The ruble traded above 85 to the dollar for the first time in
Moscow early Thursday afternoon, a fall of more than three
percent, which beat the previous low of 82.4 to the dollar
set in trading Wednesday evening.
Thursdays slip means the ruble is at its lowest level since
the currency was redenominated in 1998, during Russias
worst post-Soviet economic crisis. President Vladimir
Putins spokesman Dmitry Peskov, however, said the situation was not critical.
I wouldnt use the word collapse. The rate is really
changing, the rate is volatile, but its far from a collapse,
he said Thursday in comments reported by Russian news
agencies. Putin has no plans for any emergency meetings,
he added.
The steep decline in oil prices now at a 12-year low
below $28 a barrel has been a severe blow to Russias oildependent economy. The rubles new lows this week follow
the lifting of international sanctions against Iran, which
increases the supply of oil on global markets.
The IMF predicted Tuesday that Russias economy will
contract 1 percent in 2016 following a fall of 3.7 percent
last year, before returning to 1 percent growth next year.
In the Central Asian nation of Kazakhstan, another major
ex-Soviet oil producer, the tenge currency fell to a record
383.91 against the dollar Thursday as the economy feels the
pressure of low energy prices.

GM unites car-sharing
services under new brand Maven
DETROIT The final destination is a mystery, but
General Motors is taking another step on its fast-moving
journey into new ways of getting around.
The company on Thursday announced that its formed a
brand called Maven that will run its car-sharing ventures,
including a new one that will begin competing with ZipCar
next month in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and spread to other
metro areas later this year.
GM executives said they expect their main business model
of selling cars to people will continue to be large, but they
also see big changes coming with ride- and car-sharing.
We see significant opportunity as that change occurs,
GM President Dan Ammann said. We very much as a company want to make sure were at the forefront of that.
The unveiling of Maven comes on the heels of two new
mobility deals announced by GM this year: a $500 million
investment in ride-hailing company Lyft and the purchasing
of the remnants of defunct ride-hailing company Sidecar.
Maven already has 21 parking spaces and new GM vehicles assigned to the area around the University of Michigan
campus in Ann Arbor, including spots in dormitory lots. Its
also expanding a residential car-sharing project to more
apartment buildings in New York City and to Chicago.

Coach O back as CSM head coach

Larry Owens back in charge after seven-year hiatus; Bret Pollack, Tim Tulloch staying on staff
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

The College of San Mateo announced that

former coach Larry Owens will return to his
post as head coach for the Bulldogs football team, effective immediately.
I am extremely pleased to announce that
Larry Owens will be resuming the leadership
role of our program, Andreas Wolf, CSM
athletic director, said in a press release.
The coaching staff for the most part, however, will remain relatively unchanged. Bret
Pollack, who served as Owens offensive
coordinator for several season before taking
over the head coaching duties in 2008 after
Owens stepped down, will remain as offensive coordinator. Tim Tulloch, who served

as defensive coordinator
for both Owens and
Pollack, will retain his
role with the team.
Messages left with
both Owens and Pollack
were not returned.
This was an amicable
decision, and the change
Larry Owens has our full support,
Wolf said. The beauty is
that we have all three coaches still with our
program. They have the greatest respect for
one another and work well together. So we
are not losing anything in this transition.
Owens guided the team for 19 seasons,
compiling a 112-85 record. He led the

Bulldogs to nine bowl

games, including seven
in a row from 2001 to
2007. He stepped down
following the 2008 season for health reasons.
He has spent the last several seasons as an assistant coach with the
Bret Pollack Bulldogs.
Coaching a football
team of this magnitude is arguably one of
the most difficult and time consuming jobs
in the California Community College system. The job is 24/7/365 and it can easily
wear you down, Wolf said. A change in
leadership roles is healthy both from a per-

sonal and professional perspective and I

will do anything to support the will of our
coaches to help retain their longevity.
Since taking over for the 2009 season,
Pollack helped the Bulldogs take the step to
become one of the elite community college
programs not only in the state, but in the
nation. In his first season, 20009, Pollack
led the Bulldogs to the Northern California
championship and a spot in the state title
game. In his seven seasons, Pollack compiled a record of 59-19.
Coach Owens and his staff will work tirelessly to ensure our team remains one of the
premier football programs in the state,
Wolf said.

Dons get by Mustangs Sharks top

San Jose 3, Arizona 1

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The Aragon girls soccer team

went into Thursdays game against
host Capuchino desperately trying
to keep pace with the top teams in
the Peninsula Athletic Leagues
Bay Division.
Two and a half weeks into the
season, the Dons found themselves tied for fourth place in the
standings, but looked to pick up
an easy three points and a victory
against a winless Capuchino
squad.
In the end, it wasnt easy, but
Aragon still managed to come
away with a 3-0 decision.
The challenge for Aragon (3-2-1
PAL Bay, 5-4-1 overall) was figuring out how to play their possession-style game on the slow, natural grass field used at Cap.
It was out our first game (this
season) on grass, said Mario
Rossetti, Aragon assistant coach
who was filling in for a sick Nick
Dye. We werent able to play possession soccer. (The grass)
changes your style. In the first
half, [we] had to adjust to it.
In addition to the foreign surface, the Dons were also playing a
Mustangs squad that is actually
better than its record shows. The
Mustangs certainly have some talent and they took the game to the
Dons at times but, in the end, they
could not take advantage of their
opportunities.
Were competing for long
stretches, but we keep making
these little mistakes, said
Capuchino coach Rich Medina.
With 10 sophomores on the team,

Chris Tierney scored first-period goals,
Martin Jones stopped 23 shots and the San
Jose Sharks beat the slumping Arizona
Coyotes 3-1 on Thursday night.
Patrick Marleau added an empty-net goal
as the Sharks extended their points streak to
a season-best seven games and moved ahead
of the Coyotes into second place in the
Pacific Division.
On a night when Arizona honored Shane
Doan for recently breaking the franchises
career mark for goals, the captain assisted
on Brad Richardsons third-period score. But
the Coyotes have managed just four goals in
an 0-3-1 stretch.
Louis Domingue made 20 saves for
Arizona. He has dropped consecutive games
after going without a regulation loss in 10
starts.
In the first of five meetings over the final
three months of the season, San Jose cooled
Arizonas dominance in the Pacific
Division.
The Coyotes entered 10-1-2 against division foes, one of the key reasons theyve
gone from the NHLs second-worst record a
year ago to a playoff contender.
But a week after blowing a 2-0 third-period lead in an overtime loss to Detroit, the
Coyotes have been stymied offensively.
Poor passing, bad timing and bad luck have
left the Coyotes frustrated.
Jones helped the Sharks improve the
Western Conferences best road record to 166-2 with a steady effort that included a pointblank toe save of Doan in the second period.

Patch overlooked as South City record holder

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Bobby Patch is still waiting to take his

deserved place on the South City boys basketball leader board.
When South City junior Amir Boddie
scored 45 points last Friday in an 84-80
loss to Jefferson, South Citys athletics
brass took that to mean he had broke the
programs single-game record of 44 points,
set by Lou Lucca in 1988.
The single-game scoring record, however,
had previously been broken by Patch on
Dec. 27, 2006 in a 74-69 loss to San Mateo.
The reason South City head coach Keith
Smith and athletic director Matt
Schaukowitch each said Boddie broke the
record is because they referred to the athletics records posted on the South City gymnasium wall. Those records were never updated
to include Patchs record-breaking performance.
Im a little disappointed that after 10

records arent even up,
Patch said.
As it stands, Boddie
tied Patchs record of 45
points. Patch also holds
the record for most 3pointers scored in a single game, which he also
Bobby Patch accomplished on Dec.
27, 2006. His 10 3pointers broke Luccas previous record of
seven. Patch also ranks fourth all-time
among South Citys scoring leaders with
1,004 points. Lucca ranks fifth with 994.
The coach didnt report it at the time,
Schaukowitch said. The coach is currently
not here and so it never got processed.
The head coach of the 2006-07 South City
varsity squad was Rich Gutierrez, who was
dismissed near the end of that season.
Schaukowitch who was serving exclusively as the girls athletic director at the
time took over for Gutierrez to coach the
final game of the boys basketball season.

Schaukowitch took over as athletic director

of both the girls and boys in 2008, replacing Drew Petiti.
Patch said he contacted Schaukowitch via
email some years ago to request the record
on the gym wall be updated. Patch said he
could not recall if he ever received a confirmation of receipt of said email from
Schaukowitch.
No word about it, Patch said. I almost
gave up about it after a while.
Schaukowitch said the records on South
Citys gym wall will be updated to reflect
both Patch and Boddies record-breaking
accomplishments. He said he was certain no
other records have been omitted from the
gym wall.
[The records] havent been updated under
my watch, Schaukowitch said Since I
have been AD, no records except this one
have been broken.
Patchs record-breaking performance
came at South City, in a game he played
much better in the second half than he did in
the first, he said. Despite the barrage of 3-

pointers, Patch sunk his record-breaking

shot in the closing minutes, stealing an
inbound pass and hitting a 10-foot jump
shot.
Patch who currently lives in Hawaii
after graduating from the University of
Hawaii at Manoa last year said knowing
he holds the record still means a lot to him,
especially because Luccas feat stood for
nearly 19 years before Patch surpassed it.
1988 was the year it was broken by
Lucca, so it means a lot, Patch said. We
couldnt get the win, which was the important thing. But holding the record is still
pretty cool.

Curry to start All-Star Game; Kobe leading vote getter

By Brian Mahoney
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Kobe Bryant is the leading

vote-getter for his final NBA All-Star Game,
and Kawhi Leonard and Kyle Lowry made
late moves to join him in the starting lineup.
Leonard will start in his first All-Star
Game and Lowry will start on his home
court in Toronto after both made up ground
in the final days of voting on Thursday.
Nobody was catching Bryant, who had
1.9 million votes and was selected an AllStar for the 18th time.
Itll be a special All-Star because this is
Kobes last run, Miamis Dwyane Wade
said.
Obviously, I wasnt in the league and didnt get a chance to see (Michael) Jordans,
but I was watching as a fan and it looked like

it would be something
cool to be a part of. So
this will be special.
MVP Stephen Curry of
Golden State was next
with 1. 6 million and
they will be joined in the
Western Conference lineup by Oklahoma Citys
Steph Curry Kevin Durant and Russell
Westbrook, and Leonard,
the San Antonio star who was more than
12, 000 votes behind Golden States
Draymond Green for the last frontcourt spot
after the most recent returns.
Clevelands LeBron James and Indianas
Paul George will start in the East frontcourt
with New Yorks Carmelo Anthony, who
held off Chicagos Pau Gasol by 360 votes.
Wade starts at guard with Lowry, who
overcame a 32, 000-vote deficit to

Clevelands Kyrie Irving after the last

update.
The reserves will be voted by the head
coaches in each conference and be
announced next Thursday.
Bryant, who is retiring after the season,
will finish one behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
for most All-Star selections. He is a fourtime All-Star Game MVP and the career
leader with 280 points in the game
though James is just two points behind.
He was atop the voting from the start, but
Leonard had to come from behind and finish
14,000 votes ahead of Dallas center Zaza
Pachulia for the final West frontcourt spot.
Leonard joins Jordan and Hakeem Olajuwon
as the only players to be selected an AllStar, NBA Finals MVP and NBA Defensive
Player of the Year.
Lowry surged past Wade last year and this
time his late charge put him alongside Wade

to give the Raptors a starter in the first AllStar Game held outside the U.S.
It is an honor to be voted as a starter for
the All-Star Game, especially for one in my
home arena, Lowry said in a statement. I
am thankful to all the great Raptors fans
across Canada and throughout the NBA.
Currys father, Del, finished his career in
Toronto, and the leagues leading scorer will
make his third straight All-Star start there.
Its going to be a fun experience for both
sides of my family, Stephen Curry said in a
video posted by the Warriors. I lived there
for three years, my wife is from there, she
has a lot of family that still is up there
thats going to be able to celebrate with us.
So Im going to enjoy it and look forward to
it.
James led East players with 1.1 million
votes and is an All-Star for the 12th time in
13 seasons.

Stanfords Morris signs with Seattle Sounders

By Tim Booth
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEATTLE It took a trip to Europe for

Jordan Morris to reaffirm his desire to start his
professional career in the U.S.
The best college player in the country last
year and the rising star with the U.S. national
team decided Seattle was where he wanted to
begin.
I always knew I wanted to come home,
Morris said Thursday after being officially
signed by the Seattle Sounders as a
Homegrown Player. I think my time over
there, it was a good experience and a cool one,
but it reaffirmed my belief that I wanted to
play in my hometown and play before 45,000
fans at CenturyLink (Field).
The Seattle-area native and former academy
player with the Sounders signed the largest
contract for a Homegrown Player in MLS his-

tory, according to Seattle

general manager Garth
Lagerwey. Hell immediately join a roster that
includes MLS stars Clint
Dempsey and Obafemi
Martins with the intent
that Morris will become
an immediate contributor
Jordan Morris on a team in need of a
youthful influence.
Morris is certainly that. Hes 21. He led
Stanford to the national championship last
season and won the Hermann Trophy as the
top college player. And hes also the first collegian since 1995 to have made appearances
for the U.S. national team, even scoring a
goal in an exhibition against Mexico last
April.
Its a lengthy and impressive pedigree
Morris is bringing to the beginning of his

professional career.
Hes got qualities that I think are unteachable qualities that sometimes Ive tried to
teach a player and never becomes engrained or
part of his game, Seattle coach Sigi Schmid
said.
Morris always seemed destined to start his
career in Seattle after playing for the
Sounders academy and because of his fathers
role as the team doctor. But his professional
options expanded as his role in college and
with the national team increased. Morris
caught Seattles front office by surprise when
he agreed to a trial with German club Werder
Bremen in mid-December, spending a couple
of weeks with the team. Morris was so impressive he was offered a contract by Werder
Bremen.
But the trip to Europe turned out to be an
opportunity Seattle didnt need to be worried
about. If anything, it strengthened Morris

bond with the Sounders. Its a bit of a coup for

MLS to get one of the top American prospects
to rebuff an overseas offer.
Its important that this young generation
of players growing up with Major League
Soccer have a connection to the clubs in the
markets they grow up in, Sounders owner
Adrian Hanauer said.
Seattle started trying to sign Morris at the
conclusion of his freshman season at Stanford
and Schmid recalled vehemently telling
Morris he was making the wrong choice in
returning to the Cardinal for his junior season.
Schmid said he later acknowledged that Morris
made the right decision, sending him a message prior to Stanfords national championship match, where Morris scored two goals.
Morris didnt believe he was ready for the
professional game when his sophomore year
with the Cardinal ended. Now hes prepared for
the challenge.

NL teams becoming more receptive to DH?

By Steve Wine
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CORAL GABLES, Fla. Major League

Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred says
National League teams may be more receptive to the designated hitter than in the past,
even though owners ended two days of meetings without any serious discussion about
expanding use of the DH.
A decline in offense and injuries to pitchers
while hitting have stirred speculation the NL
might be ready to embrace the designated hitter, which has been used in the American
League since 1973.
Last week, St. Louis Cardinals general
manager John Mozeliak said there was more
momentum lately for the DH in the NL. But
owners werent inclined to consider a change
when they met this week.
It hasnt even been talked about, said Joe

Baseball briefs
Davis signs for seven years,
$161 million with Orioles
BALTIMORE Chris Davis has signed
the richest contract in the history of the
Baltimore Orioles.
The defending major league home run
champion put his name on a seven-year pact
that will pay him $161 million.
Davis became a free agent after the 2015
season and was pursued heavily by the
Orioles, who finally struck a deal Saturday
pending a medical examination.
The agreement became official Thursday.
Davis had 47 homers and 117 RBIs last
season, and ranked 13th in the majors with

Torre, MLBs chief baseball officer, as the meetings broke Thursday and
owners raced for the airport. There really hasnt
been any conversation.
That doesnt mean there
wont be. Baseball is in
the final year of its colRob Manfred lective bargaining agreement between owners and
players, and the union has favored expansion
of the DH because it would more mean highpaying roster spots.
Any change to the DH is a mandatory topic
of bargaining.
Twenty years ago, when you talked to
National League owners about the DH, youd
think you were talking some sort of heretical
comment, Manfred said. But we have a
newer group. There has been turnover, and I

think our owners in general have demonstrated a willingness to change the game in ways
that we think would be good for the fans,
always respecting the history and traditions
of the sport.
But among National League owners,
theres still resistance.
We would like to remain real baseball,
said Philadelphia Phillies chairman Dave
Montgomery, who has been with the team for
more than 30 years.
The closest the NL has come to adopting
the DH was way back in 1980, but sagging
offense could prompt the league to revisit the
idea. Big leaguers batted .254 last year and
.251 in 2014, the lowest average since .244
in 1972 a year of such feeble offense that
the AL started using the DH the following
season to juice scoring.
Injuries to pitchers might also be a factor
in weakening resistance to the designated

hitter. Early last season, Cardinals ace Adam

Wainwright tore his Achilles while batting,
which prompted Nationals right-hander Max
Scherzer to call for the NL to adopt the DH. In
September, Yankees pitcher Masahiro Tanaka
strained his hamstring running to first on a
bunt, which reignited the discussion.
In 2008, Yankees ace Chien-Ming Wang
hurt his foot running the bases during an
interleague game and was never the same. In
interleague games, the DH is used only in AL
ballparks.
Manfred, who is beginning his second year
on the job, can argue both sides of the
debate.
He said theres a certain purity to everyone playing by the same rules. On the other
hand: The biggest remnant of league identity is the difference between DH and no DH. ...
It is a significant issue on the other side of
the scale.

100 runs. Since 2012, Davis leads the

majors with 159 home runs and ranks fourth
with 412 RBIs.
Although hes only been with the Orioles
since the middle of the 2011 season, Davis
is 10th on the teams career home run list
with 161.
To make room on the 40-man roster,
Baltimore designated utility player Joey
Terdoslavich for assignment.

Newman wrote in a close-out memo

Wednesday that conflicting accounts and
insufficient evidence made a conviction

Chapman said he eventually got a handgun

fell apart after the incident was made public.
Chapman was then traded to the Yankees

Baseball is pushing back this years deadline to make trades without waivers by one

it was moved to July 31 for 1986.
We thought Sunday made no sense for us

Tony Stewart at ease heading

into his final NASCAR season
By Jenna Fryer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Tony

Stewart is a man at peace as he heads
into the nal season of his NASCAR
career.
He is satised with what he has
accomplished and has no regrets
about the three glaring holes on his
resume. Stewart
is also adamant
that his struggles
the last two
years, on and off
the track, have
nothing to do
with his decision
to retire at the
end of this seaTony Stewart son.
The three-time
NASCAR champion reiterated
Thursday he will race in other series
after this year but not the
Indianapolis 500, he insisted and
his decision to leave the Sprint Cup
Series is simply about giving himself
more free time to pursue everything
that has been on hold the last three
decades.
Im still going to race, I just dont
know how much yet, Stewart said.
The nice thing is Ill have some exibility to go do some other things I
want to do.
First up on the bucket list: He wants
to attend the Formula One race in
Monaco with co-owner Gene Haas,
who will eld an F1 team beginning
this season.

But that will have to wait until

2017 because Stewart has a nal
farewell tour ahead of him for the next
11 months. He doesnt want the same
sendoff given to Jeff Gordon, who
was feted and presented with gifts at
nearly every stop on the 36-race
schedule last year.
Stewart wouldnt mind, though,
having the kind of year Gordon did on
the track. Gordon closed his nal season by dramatically winning at
Martinsville Speedway in November
to clinch a berth in the nal four of
NASCARs championship race.
Although Gordon didnt win the
title, he was in the running and
climbed from his car for the nal time
at the top of his game.
That was 99 percent of a perfect
season and I dont have any grand
illusions that Im going to have that
kind of year this year, Stewart said.
I would love to, but what weve done
the last two years, it may or may not
be in our cards. Were going to give
100 percent.
Stewart has been a shell of himself
the last two years. He was struggling
through the 2013 season when he
broke his leg in a sprint car accident
and missed the nal third of the
NASCAR season.
His return in 2014 was a struggle,
too. Aside from his failure to perform
on the track, his car struck and killed
a sprint car driver at a New York dirt
track. Stewart wasnt criminally
charged, but the emotional toll
weighed on him for months and he is
still facing a lawsuit from Kevin Ward
Jr.s family.

Sharapova into fourth DONS

round at Aussie Open

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Continued from page 11

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MELBOURNE, Australia Maria

Sharapova played two nearly flawless
sets on either side of the one where
she struggled against Lauren Davis in
a slight hiccup at the Australian
Open.
Sharapova, who won the title here
in 2008 and has lost three finals
including last years decider to Serena
Williams advanced to the fourth
round with a 6-1, 6-7 (5), 6-1 on
Friday, her 600th tour-level match
win.
The 28-year-old, five-time major
winner is playing her 13th Australian
Open since 2003 so she knew what to
expect when she lost concentration
in the second set despite being up and
break and 30-love.
The first set was over in 26 minutes, with Sharapova getting two
service breaks and not facing a break

point herself. She was broken twice

in the second, when Davis came back
hard and eventually won in the
tiebreaker, despite conceding a key
point after a 27-shot rally when she
volleyed into the net, and covered her
face with her hand.
Sharapova took a bathroom break
before the third set and returned with
more composure, making just five
unforced errors and breaking Davis
three times.
The fifth-seeded Sharapova will
next play No. 12 Belinda Bencic,
who won the opening match on Rod
Laver Arena 4-6, 6-2, 6-4 against
Kateryna Bondarenko.
Kei Nishikori had some trouble
with his wrist, taking a medical timeout and losing the next set before
recovering to reach the fourth round at
the Australian Open with a 7-5, 2-6,
6-3, 6-4 win Friday over No. 26-seeded Guillermo Garcia-Lopez.

SHARKS

against Arizona the first came last season with the Kings ended when
Richardson poked in his own rebound after

theyre still showing their inexperience, Medina continued.

Rossetti said he had to warn his
side about being too complacent
playing a team many expected to be
an easy mark.
We told them quit looking at the
record. Theyre not going to lay
down, Rossetti said. I think they
(the Mustangs) surprised the girls
with their speed.
As the Dons spent time adjusting
their game to the grass, it was
Capuchino (0-6, 2-8-1) that was
applying the offensive pressure
early on. Brianna Ledesma is one of
the top midfielders in the league and
she did a good job of distributing
the ball to the top for Siena
Martinucci and Sierra Cannon.
Isabel Hernandez, playing on the
right flank, also caused some trouble for the Aragon defense.
But as the first half wore on, the
Dons started to find their rhythm.
In the 20th minute, they struck for
their first goal off a corner kick.

Doan was honored before the game for

passing Hall of Famer Dale Hawerchuk with
his 380th career goal on Dec. 31. Doans
assist left him seven points shy of breaking
Hawerchuks career points mark, but he has
one goal in seven games.
Wingels ended an 11-game goal drought
with a pretty sequence. Wingels caught a
high puck, dropped it to his feet in the slot,
spun around and sent a low wrist shot past
Domingue at 6:23 of the first period.

Madeline Eclevia took the corner

and sent a cross to the front of the
goal. She found Annika Olives
unmarked and Olives simply tapped
the ball home for a 1-0 lead.
Capuchino nearly came up with
the equalizer minutes later. Ledesma
received a pass near midfield and
sent a pass straight through the
heart of the Aragon defensive line.
Martinucci got around her defender
and ran onto the ball, with just the
goalkeeper to beat.
Jennifer Parker came off her line
and Martinucci chipped the ball
over her but it rolled wide of the
goal.
In the 27th minute, Parker beat
Hernandez to a 50-50 ball to thwart
another Capuchino opportunity.
While the Mustangs were failing
to finish, Aragon took advantage of
its second legitimate scoring
chance of the half, needing just a
couple of touches to make the score
2-0. Sweeper Dianna Higaki won a
ball near midfield and rapidly sent a
pass to Sonia Chan, who turned and
quickly sent a ball over the top of
the Capuchino defense. Olivia Di
Santo ran onto the ball and hammered a shot into the roof of the

Less than 4 minutes later, Tierney was

credited with a goal after pileup in front of
the net. Replays showed the puck appeared
to last touch the sticks of Arizonas Boyd
Gordon and Nicklas Grossmann before it
trickled over the line as charging Sharks
center Melker Karlsson knocked over
Domingue.
NOTES: Its the Sharks longest points
streak since eight straight games in March
2014. ... San Jose is 6-0-1 in its last seven

More

goal in the 33rd.

The Mustangs had a chance to cut
their deficit in half, but had more
bad luck. In the 40th minute,
Capuchino received a free kick 35
yards from goal. Ledesma stepped
up and lofted a ball into the middle
of the Aragon penalty box.
Fernanda Castro came crashing into
the box and the ball landed on her
foot, but her one-timer was blocked
by Parker and Aragon maintained
its 2-0 advantage at halftime.
It was the Dons second goal that
allowed them to finally figure out
how to attack the Mustangs on the
grass and they continued that play
throughout the second half.
The halftime talk was we need to
stop playing parallel and concentrate on balls over the top (of the
defense), Rossetti said.
That strategy worked to perfection midway through the second
half when Chan, again, lofted a
pass over the Capuchino defense.
This time, it was Taylin Nguyen
who ran onto the ball and calmly
finished in the back of the net for
the final goal of the game in the

Kerry says some Iran

sanctions relief will
likely go to terrorists
By Matthew Lee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DAVOS, Switzerland Its likely that some of the billions of dollars in sanctions relief granted to
Iran under a landmark nuclear deal
will go to groups deemed to be terrorists, U.S. Secretary of State
John Kerry said on Thursday. But,
he added, he doesnt believe Iran
will be able to use the freed-up
cash to boost funding of malign
activities if it is serious about
revamping its economy.
Kerry said on the sidelines of
the World Economic Forum the
U.S. or others can do little to prevent the now-unfrozen assets from
getting into the hands of the Iran
Revolutionary Guard Corps or
other entities that Iran has supported in the past. But since
nuclear-related sanctions were lifted on Iran last weekend, Kerry
said, there is no evidence yet to
suggest such transfers have
occurred.
I think that some of it will end
up in the hands of the IRGC or
other entities, some of which are
labeled terrorists, he told CNBC

television in an interview. You

know, to some degree, Im not
going to sit here and tell you that
every component of that can be
prevented. But I can tell you this:
Right now, we are not seeing the
early delivery of funds going to
that kind of endeavor at this point
in time.
In fact, Kerry later told a small
group of reporters he understands
the Revolutionary Guards are
already complaining that they
are not getting the money. And
he said there will be consequences
if Iran is caught using the money
to support terrorism.
If we catch them funding terrorism, theyre going to have a problem in the U. S. Congress and
other people, obviously, he said.
Whatever amount may flow to
them, I am just trying to be honest,
I cant tell people that, No, some
amount might not, but we dont
believe that that is what has made
the difference in the activities of
Iran in the region, he said. It is
not money-based, and a whole lot
of money isnt going to make a difference in a whole lot of places.
Kerry also said the administra-

tion believes the amount of
money that might flow to terrorist
groups will be limited because
the demands of Iran and of the
Rouhani administration and of the
supreme leader for development in
their country are such that there is
no way they can succeed in doing
what they want to do if they are
very busy funding a lot of terror-

ism and if they are putting money

into that kind of enterprise and
not into things they need to do to
fund their economy.
In occasionally mocking tones, a
group of Republican senators in
Washington chided Kerry, telling
reporters it was always clear to them
that Iran would use its unfrozen
assets to finance terrorism.

Led by Sen. Kelly Ayotte, RN.H., the senators also said they
plan to introduce legislation to
impose tougher sanctions against
Iran for conducting ballistic missile tests in violation of a U.N.
resolution. They called the punishments proposed by the Obama
administration for the testing
tepid and weak.

Officials name top suspects in Iraq abductions of Americans

By Susannah George
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD Two powerful

Shiite militias are top suspects in
the abduction of three Americans
last weekend in a southern neighborhood of the Iraqi capital, an
Iraqi police commander and a
Western security official in
Baghdad said Thursday.
The Americans were abducted in
Dora, a mixed neighborhood that is
home to both Shiites and Sunnis,
on Saturday. It was the latest in a
series of brazen high-profile kidnappings undermining confidence
in the Iraqi governments ability to

control state-sanctioned Shiite

militias, which have grown in
strength as Iraqi security forces
battle the Islamic State group.
Two Shiite militias Asaib Ahl
al-Haq and Saraya al-Salam were
likely behind the attack, the Iraqi
and Western official told the
Associated Press on Thursday.
Nobody can do anything in that
neighborhood
without
the
approval of those militias, the
police commander said. The
Western security official confirmed
that Iraqi and U.S. intelligence
assessments had narrowed down
the suspects to those the two
groups.

Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they

were not authorized to talk to
reporters.
One of the militias named as a
suspect is backed by Iran, a key
ally of Iraqi Prime Minister Hayder
al-Abadis government.
Al-Abadi said on Thursday that
he doubts that there is an Iranian
link to the kidnapping, adding we
dont know if they have been kidnapped... they just went missing.
The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad
has confirmed that several
Americans are missing and said
they are working with Iraqi authorities to locate them.

Speaking at Davos, U.S.

Secretary of State John Kerry said
that he was working with Iraq on
the issue. He said he had also been
in touch with Iranian Foreign
Minister Javad Zarif to request
help. He said Zarif had replied that
he would do what he can, but that he
had no immediate knowledge
whatsoever about the incident.
Baghdad authorities said the
three Americans were kidnapped
from a suspicious apartment
without elaborating, and have provided no other details. There has
been no claim of responsibility.
The identities of the three were
not made public and the two offi-

cials the Iraqi commander and

the Western official did not elaborate on the investigation that is
underway.
Another Iraqi intelligence official told the AP this week that from
the Dora neighborhood the
Americans were taken to Sadr City,
a vast and densely populated Shiite
district to the east, and there all
communication ceased.
Lt. Gen. Abdul-Ghani al-Asadi,
commander of Iraqs elite counterterrorism forces, told AP that his
men are aiding in the search
effort, which he said is focusing
on certain areas of the capital
Baghdad.

negative byproduct of all this economic
activity, has to do with housing affordability concerns and mobility, said
Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, D-South San
Francisco. Housing and transportation are
front and center. Were going to continue
to raise the issues to get the governors
attention on these matters so we can have
some relief from the state in terms of funding for these very high-cost areas.
Like Brown who highlighted the widening discrepancy amongst the rich and a
dwindling middle class, Mullin said the
Legislature should find ways to spread prosperity across socioeconomic boundaries.
Mullin advocated for an alternative to redevelopment agencies and noted investing in
transportation projects would generate
jobs.
In his speech, Brown expressed an eager
willingness for one-time spending toward
infrastructure projects such as improving
roads and bridges.
Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo
Park, said this could provide opportunities
for the Peninsula, particularly if high-speed
rail ends up sharing a portion of the
Caltrain line.
Im very interested in looking at whether

BROWN
Continued from page 1
Brown convened a special session on
transportation last year and has called for a
$65 annual fee on all vehicles and for higher gas and diesel fuel taxes.
Repairing the crumbling infrastructure is
critical, he said Thursday.
Yet, doing so without an expanded and
permanent revenue source is impossible,
he told lawmakers. That means at some
point, sooner rather than later, we have to
bite the bullet and enact new fees and taxes
for this purpose.
Other infrastructure needs include fixing
what he called serious deficiencies in state
office buildings, levees, parks, universities,
prisons and state hospitals. The budget he
proposed earlier this month includes using
$2 billion of an expected state budget surplus to repair and replace aging state-owned
structures.
Republican votes are needed to pass any
tax increase but they remained skeptical.

ing the list during a commission meeting and said it should be done in a workshop setting instead.
This is really messy. Theres redundancies on the list, she said during the
commissions Wednesday night meeting in South San Francisco.
She also had issues of ranking the
priorities as high, medium or low.
It sounds like we are buying pizza,
she said.
She also criticized Commissioner
Pietro Parravano for being unclear on
his wish to make employee issues a
high priority.
Parravano discussed how the district
has lost staff in recent years and that a
number of resignations has prevented
the district from moving forward on
many goals and projects.
Employees are the No. 1 priority as
far as reaching goals, Parravano said at
the meeting.
Brennan, however, responded: That
to me is as clear as mud.
New Commissioner Virginia Chang
Kiraly said the focus should be on the
top two or three priorities for now as
the district embarks on developing a
strategic plan. Commissioner Robert
Bernardo agreed.
The commission is expected to bring
back their list of priorities at the next
meeting.
The district has been mired in contro-

local efforts regarding
grade separation along
the Caltrain line. If we
wanted to do infrastructure work that would help
mobility in our region, I
think thats one thing we
could do, Gordon said.
Rich Gordon
State Sen. Jerry Hill,
D-San Mateo, said its
time for the Legislature to rise to the challenges posed by Brown, such as promoting
fiscal sustainability by finding ways to be
less reliant on the volatile income tax revenue.
Hill said a bill he proposed last year would
allocate more cap-and-trade funds to regional transportation projects, particularly in
areas where growth is stressing infrastructure.
That would help Caltrain, it would help
BART, it would help Muni, all of our transit
systems and to better coordinate them, Hill
said. We have to invest more in transportation. Our roads are crumbling and theyre
not getting any wider so were not accommodating any more traffic or more cars. We
need to improve our transit system to
accommodate the increase in population
and the increase in economy and jobs on the
Peninsula and the Bay Area. It requires a real
paradigm shift and I think the governors

willing to embrace it and

willing to fund it assuming we can find that
source that would be equitable.
Mullin said hes been
focused on the Highway
101 corridor, which
broadly
includes
improvements
such as
Jerry Hill
electrifying Caltrain and
increasing mobility on El Camino Real.
The 48 miles of 101 connecting San
Francisco and the South Bay, which runs
straight through the heart of my district, is
the most economically productive 48 miles
in the state of California. The 101 corridor
is driving the state budget and the wealth
thats being created and the revenue thats
being generated, Mullin said, noting there
are pockets of poverty and the high cost of
living is leading to displacement.
Although Republican leaders supported
Browns fiscal restraint and nod to supporting infrastructure, the idea of raising taxes
was expectedly viewed unfavorably.
Im pleased he wont be supporting
efforts to permanently increase spending in
the state budget through the creation of new
programs or spending commitments. At the
same time, I do have concerns about the
governors desires to raise taxes on
California families to pay for transportation infrastructure commitments. We can
use existing funding to pay for these

visions, state Sen. Bob Huff, R-San

Dimas, said in a press release. If, for example, the governor had changed his statement
from bite the bullet to bite the bullet
train, he would have earned a lot more
Republican applause.

With state revenue surging, they believe

the state can afford to make repairs without
new taxes or fees by shifting funds and cutting jobs at Caltrans.
Last year he talked about transportation
infrastructure and then did nothing except
create an extraordinary session where he
says youve got to raise taxes, Sen. Bob
Huff, R-San Dimas said after the speech.
Here we are again.
Notably, Brown did not mention his
increasingly unpopular $68 billion bullet
train plan.
Instead, he continued his call for fiscal
prudence, a hallmark of his speeches since
he returned to the state Capitol in 2011 after
previously serving from 1975 to 1983.
He urged lawmakers to beef up Californias
rainy day fund, warning that the California
economy could quickly be upended by seemingly unrelated world events.
A slowdown in China or turmoil in Iraq or
Syria, or virtually anywhere, can send the
stock market reeling and put California jobs
and state revenues in jeopardy, Brown said
in the speech devoid of his typical rhetorical
Latin and biblical references.
The 77-year-old Democratic governor

decried the wage stagnation and inequality

he said have plagued many Americans and
outlined the states response to those issues,
including a higher minimum wage, stronger
wage laws protecting unionized workers,
and an earned income tax credit for the working poor.
To address poverty, he said, California has
wholeheartedly embraced the Affordable
Care Act, enrolling 13.5 million
Californians in Medi-Cal and another 1.5
million in Covered California. He called it a
historic achievement that will provide
health security to those who could not otherwise afford it.
But he also noted that Medi-Cal costs have
grown by $23 billion in four years and
called on lawmakers to pass a new $1 billion
tax on health insurers to replace one that is
expiring.
Republicans also oppose that plan,
though Democratic legislative leaders said
they are confident they can negotiate a compromise with the GOP.
Republican lawmakers argued that the
state can use rebounding revenues to fund
programs.
Gov. Brown and I agree on a number of

issues but we differ on our solutions,

Assembly Minority Leader Chad Mayes, RBakersfield, said in a prepared statement.
Republican solutions to lift people out of
poverty involve job training and incentives
that create local jobs.
Democrats have pushed to spend some of
Californias burgeoning tax revenue to aid
social programs and to increase the stock of
affordable housing, particularly in areas
such as San Francisco and Silicon Valley
where the cost-of-living is among the highest in the nation.
We believe that we need to make targeted
investments in human capital for those who
have been left behind with the resurgent
economy, said Senate President Pro Tem
Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles.
Brown is in his sixth year as governor and
will leave office after this term, though he
joked about using his sizeable campaign
funds to try to change the state constitution
to allow a fifth term.
He retains immense political clout, along
with at least $24 million in his campaign
bank account, which Brown can use to support or oppose any of a slew of initiatives
making their way to the ballot this year.

versy for years and has been recommended to be dissolved by both the San
Mateo County Civil Grand Jury and the
Local Area Formation Commission.
The Harbor District owns and manages the Pillar Point Harbor on the
coast and operates the Oyster Point
Marina under an agreement with South
San Francisco.
At Wednesdays meeting, the board
also approved a $25,000 expenditure to
conduct an engineering study at the
Oyster Point Marina in partnership
with South San Francisco.
The study is related to flooding and
land subsidence.
But Brennan didnt like the resolution
as worded. She said that doing the study
jointly with South San Francisco might
open up the district to future liabilities
that could amount to be millions and
millions of dollars.
So, commission President Tom
Mattusch offered an amendment to the
resolution to satisfy Brennans concerns.
The language included that the district
be in no way on the hook for necessary
work the engineering studies might
reveal.
Mattusch had to reword his amendment several times to satisfy Brennans
concerns but ultimately the board
rejected the amendment on a 3-2 vote.
The original resolution then passed
4-1 with Brennan voting no.
The meeting started with two
Brennan supporters urging Chang
Kiraly to resign her seat from the
Menlo Park Fire Protection District, a

special tax district in south county.

Chang Kiraly was appointed to the
Harbor District board after Nicole David
abruptly quit her post.
The same two Brennan supporters
attended the Tuesday night fire district
meeting urging that board have Chang
Kiraly resign.
County counsel, however, has stated
that Chang Kiraly, the Harbor Districts
current vice president, can serve on
both boards since the districts services
do not overlap.
Mattusch also made committee
assignments Wednesday night.
He appointed Parravano and Chang
Kiraly to beach replenishment;
Brennan and Bernardo to marketing and
public relations; himself and Brennan
to finance; Chang Kiraly and Brennan
to water quality; and himself and Chang
Kiraly to strategic planning. Mattusch
will make appointments to the Oyster
Point subcommittee at a later date.
The commission will also appoint
members of the general public to the
committees at a later date.
Near the meetings end, two Harbor
District employees urged the commission to help them solve a health insurance dispute.
There has been some issue with the
insurance provider that both district
administration and the employees
union representative have been working diligently to resolve, McGrath
told the Daily Journal Thursday. The
districts commitment is to ensure that
every member get the health coverage
we are committed to provide.

The local Democratic leaders agreed with

the restrained spending proposal and
Browns call to not begin programs requiring ongoing expenses.
Still, Gordon said hed hoped theyd be
able to reinstate more funding toward education and restore some areas that were previously cut.
But Brown noted great needs as California
must pay down the nearly $220 billion in
pension liabilities, adapt to climate change
while preparing for sea level rise, support
more than $23 billion in increased MediCal costs and attend to the nearly $77 billion in deferred infrastructure maintenance.
Achieving these lofty goals will likely
require more than existing revenue, said Hill
and Gordon.
Browns speech was a recognition that
Californias fiscal situation has dramatically changed from when he took office and
encouraging essentially, that we continue a
very cautious approach, Gordon said. But
at some point, were going to need new
funding, new taxing. But, [he said] nothing
specific. So in many ways, theres a lot of
details to be discussed.

In the first go-round, FBI agent Fox
Mulder was driven to prove the government was hiding evidence of aliens on

Mulder. Both of them feel disconnected
from the world and themselves because
theyre missing a limb, she said.
She and Duchovny have moved on to a

But they said returning to the X-Files

right.
Chris is a serious person and an artist.
And if he says hes got a way to make it
work, I trust that, Duchovny said.

Canada, was arranged around her Londonbased family life. But she brought part of it

Whatever work-related tension that
existed between the stars, the by-product
of churning out some two-dozen episodes a

gone, Duchovny said.
Put any human being in that situation,
working the amount that we worked and
going through the ride from obscurity to

said. Its a natural human emotion to have

city for park-in-lieu fees and $61,893
in stormwater fees, said Community
Development Director Carlos de Melo.
Instead of incorporating eight belowmarket rate units on the site as it had
originally proposed, Sares Regis will
instead pay a $1.6 million affordable
housing fee, de Melo said.
Up and down the Peninsula, housing
along the El Camino Real transit corridor is booming. De Melo said the site
is an appropriate locale for residences
but, as Sares Regis is seeking a rezoning to allow for higher-density housing, it will ultimately be up to the
council to approve.
Certainly we are reacting to market
conditions. We are reacting to a development proposal on the site. This is a
housing opportunity site clearly
defined in the citys Housing
Element, de Melo said, referring to
Belmonts state-mandated document
that requires officials to outline how
the city can support residential growth
by accommodating new units.
Former planning commissioner
Kristin Mercer and former council candidate Gladwyn DSouza noted they
believe Sares Regis was not providing
enough of a community benefit in
exchange for the city lifting height
restrictions and density limits.
When a developer wants to build
greater than the allowed density, there
is a community benefit offered in trade
back. And this developer has offered
nothing, Mercer said, adding it would
be nice to have a larger commercial

from 30 mph to 25 mph.
He also proposes to lower the speed
limit on Old County Road between
Hall Street and Belmont city limits
from 35 mph to 30 mph.
Speed limits are set through an engineering and traffic survey which measure the actual speeds that drivers travel
on a given street. The city conducted
the speed study based on significant
changes made to Holly Street and Old
County Road in recent years.
The study determined that 85 percent
of drivers travel at a speed of 35.8 mph
on Old County Road between Hall
Street and the city limits. It also shows
that 85 percent of drivers travel at a
speed of 31.8 mph on Holly Street
between El Camino Real and Industrial
Road, according to Walters report.
The city surveyed five segments of
Old County Road and Holly Street and
Walter proposes to lower the speed

building with a neighborhood-serving

grocer or small public park.
Mercer said she was concerned about
the traffic impacts and that the affordable housing in-lieu fee is an insultingly small amount.
Instead, she contends the units
should be built on site as it would be
hard for the city to actually construct
much with $1.6 million. Instead, it
would likely take years of gathering
fees before any affordable units are
built, Mercer said.
De Melo said the $1.6 million is
similar to fees that surrounding cities
are considering as part of the countywide 21 Elements Nexus Study
which highlights the connection
between new developments and affordable housing needs.
Although recent state case laws urge
cities to illustrate a nexus before
requiring developers of rental projects
to financially contribute to affordable
housing goals, other laws allow cities
to require for-sale units to be built
within the proposed development.
As
part
of
the
Planning
Commissions action Tuesday, it suggested the council approve Sares
Regis request for a vesting subdivision map, meaning the apartments
could eventually be individually sold
as condominiums, de Melo said.
They indicated if they do get
approval and construct, that they
would operate it as [a rental] apartment
project, de Melo said. But having a
subdivision map approval allows them
the opportunity to create condos
later.
Sares Regis also submitted an alternative proposal that would replace the
management office with another apartment for a total of 74 units, de Melo

said. Both proposals would have the

four live-work units, of which there
arent currently many in the city, he
said.
The site at the corner of Davey Glenn
Drive currently hosts a 7-Eleven, surface parking lot and two-story building occupied by the Provident Credit
Union and several other smaller tenants.
Certainly energizing this north
block of El Camino Real with some
new developments could have some
positive impacts for the area, de Melo
said. Its a relatively unique housing
type, that mixed small commercial
with the residential component. We
have some units in our downtown village area, but this is the first live-work
proposal weve had in multiple years.
De Melo said people spoke both in
favor and against the project at the
commission meeting. Several even
submitted a petition praising the proposal, according to a staff report.
Belmont needs more high-quality
homes and a more vibrant El Camino
Real, we support creation of an attractive residential community at 490 El
Camino Real featuring quality retail
and dozens of new trees and landscaping on what is now a barren asphalt
parking lot, according to the petition
signed by 13 nearby residents and merchants.
De Melo said he believed Sares Regis
was in the process of purchasing the
site and anticipates such a development might take 12 to 15 months to
construct. Still, proceeding requires
council approval and de Melo expected
a hearing would be scheduled in the
next 30 to 60 days.
Its squarely headed to the council.
Now its their call, he said.

limit on two of the segments.

The reason for the speed limit
change is because on both streets,
conditions have changed from the time
the previous speed survey was done.
On Old County Road, the road used to
be wider, without the bulbouts and
sidewalk improvements, so traffic typically moved faster, and the speed was
set at 35 mph, Walter wrote in an
email to the Daily Journal. Now the
road is narrower, with more pedestrian
and bicycle traffic, and so we took new
speed data and it showed us that traffic
is moving more slowly, so a reduction
in the speed limit was appropriate.
The same is true for Holly Street,
according to Walter.
It used to be one lane of traffic in
each direction most of the time, so
traffic moved faster and the speed limit
was set at 30 mph. Now that two lanes
are in place most of the day and the
lanes are very narrow, cars are traveling more slowly, Walter wrote.
There is a safety component to a
lower speed as well, he wrote.
Vice Mayor Bob Grassilli said the

proposal seems reasonable but

wants to hear from staff, law enforcement and the public before making a
decision.
How to enforce it will be a big question, he said.
In October 2014, the council
approved parking restrictions and
striping changes on Holly Street
between Industrial and Old County
roads that lowered the 85th percentile
speed along the corridor from 34 mph
to 32 mph. The council also approved
large truck restrictions and electronic
message signs to make the corridor
safer.
Members of the Greater East San
Carlos neighborhood, however,
opposed the citys move to restripe
Holly Street into four lanes of traffic
during the day.
The group said the extra traffic on
the thoroughfare to Highway 101 made
it a hazard for pedestrians to cross the
street. They also argued motorists were
traveling at greater speeds after
restriping, although a city survey disputed that claim.

U.K. judge: Vladimir Putin probably

approved the killing of ex-KGB agent
By Jill Lawless

Key findings

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON Almost a decade after

former KGB officer Alexander
Litvinenko
lay
dying in a London
hospital bed, a
British judge has
concluded who poisoned him: two
Russian men, acting
at the behest of
Russias
security
services, probably
Alexander
with approval from
Litvinenko
President Vladimir
Putin.
That
finding
prompted
sharp
exchanges Thursday
between London and
Moscow, and a
diplomatic dilemma
for both countries.
With Russia and the
Vladimir Putin West inching closer
together after years
of strain, neither side wants a new feud
even over a state-sanctioned murder
on British soil.
Judge Robert Owen, who led the public inquiry into the killing, said he was
certain that two Russians with links to
the security services had given
Litvinenko green tea containing a fatal
dose of radioactive polonium-210 during a meeting at a London hotel. He
said there was a strong probability
that Russias FSB, the successor to the
Soviet Unions KGB spy agency,
directed the killing and that the operation was probably approved by
Putin, then as now the president of
Russia.
Before he died, Litvinenko accused
Putin of ordering his killing, but
Owens report is the first public official
statement linking the Russian president to the crime, and it sent a chilling

THE POISONING
Litvinenko, a former security agent turned Kremlin critic, died on Nov.
23, 2006, from a heart attack resulting from a ingesting a fatal dose of
polonium 210.
In his report, Owen outlines the abundant evidence that Litvinenko
met fellow former agent Andrei Lugovoi and his associate Dmitry Kovtun
for tea at the Millennium Hotel in Londons Mayfair three weeks earlier,
on Nov.1, 2006.
Owen said he is sure that Lugovoi and Kovtun placed polonium 210 in
a teapot during that meeting with the intention of poisoning Litvinenko.
He is also sure that both men had made an earlier attempt to poison
him on Oct. 16.
The report notes that prior to the poisoning, Kovtun had told a witness
that Litvinenko was to be poisoned rather than shot becauseit is meant
to set an example.Kovtun had also boasted that he hada very expensive
poison he planned to administer.

RUSSIAN STATE RESPONSIBILITY

jolt through U.K.-Russia relations.
British Prime Minister David
Cameron said the evidence in the report
of state-sponsored killing was
absolutely appalling. Britain summoned the Russian ambassador for a
dressing-down and imposed an asset
freeze on the two main suspects: Andrei
Lugovoi, now a Russian lawmaker, and
Dmitry Kovtun.
Home Secretary Theresa May said the
involvement of the Russian state was
a blatant and unacceptable breach of
the most fundamental tenets of international law and of civilized behavior.
Moscow has always strongly denied
being involved in Litvinenkos death
and accused Britain of conducting a
secretive and politically motivated
inquiry.
Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov
told reporters that the quasi-investigation would further poison the
atmosphere of our bilateral relations.
He said the report cannot be accepted by us as a verdict.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zhakarova said the

British inquiry was neither public nor
transparent, saying it had turned into a
shadow puppet theater.
There was one goal from the beginning: slander Russia and slander its
officials, she told reporters in
Moscow.
Litvinenko fled to Britain in 2000
and became a critic of Russias security
services and of Putin, whom he accused
of links to organized crime and other
alleged transgressions including
pedophilia, Owen said in the report. He
was a very vocal annoyance, feeding
inside information about Russias
secrets to Western intelligence services, and the judge said was widely
regarded within the FSB as a traitor.
There were powerful motives for
organizations and individuals within
the Russian state to take action against
Mr. Litvinenko, including killing
him, Owen wrote in the 326-page
report.

Owen finds that there is no evidence that either of the two main suspects
had any personal reason to kill Litvinenko.I am sure that they killed him
on behalf of others, he says.
The judge notes that although he cannot be sure that the poison that
killed Litvinenko came from Russia, it is clear that it had been
manufactured in a nuclear reactor, suggesting that the suspects were
acting for a state body, rather than (say) a criminal organization.
He concludes that there is astrong probabilitythat Lugovoi and Kovtun
poisoned Litvinenko under the direction of Russias FSB spy agency.
He further concludes that the FSB operation was probably approved
by then-FSB chief Nikolai Patrushev and by President Vladimir Putin.
He dismisses claims previously made by Lugovoi that he was the victim
of a British set-up, saying he has not seen any evidence to back such a
claim.

POSSIBLE MOTIVES
Owen says that Litvinenkos vocal criticisms of Putin and the FSB, his
association with leading opponents of the Putin administration and his
alleged work for British intelligence meant that there were powerful
motives for organizations and individuals within the Russian State to
take action against him including killing him.
He says Litvinenko was seen as having betrayed the FSB, and there is
video evidence that Litvinenko was so hated in Russia that Russian soldiers
used his face for target practice.
He points out that there was undoubtedly a personal dimension to
the antagonism between Litvinenko and Putin. The two men had met
in 1998, when Putin was the newly appointed head of the FSB and when
Litvinenko hoped he might implement reforms.In the years that followed,
Mr. Litvinenko made repeated highly personal attacks on President Putin,
culminating in the allegation of pedophilia in July 2006, Owen says.
