Effort on to save Caltrain
Groups make transit agency top priority; regional tax a possibility
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A broad effort is under way to
save Caltrain from financial ruin
that includes discussions of placing
a regional tax on the ballot and
transferring future property tax rev-
enue on new developments in the
corridor, for instance.

Serving the working poor
Samaritan House clinic offers health care with volunteers
By Emily DeRuy
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Conceived in the 1980s and put
into practice in 1992, the Samaritan
House Free Clinic initially operated
one night a week in the conference
room at the San Mateo nonprofit,
serving the county’s working poor.
As people heard about the clinic,
mostly by word-of-mouth, the need
for space and services increased.
Today, a host of volunteers, includ-
ing nearly 35 physicians and 10
dentists, operate the clinic out of a
much larger facility on 39th Avenue
Caltrain lacks a dedicated funding
stream and faces a $30 million
deficit next fiscal year, which starts
in July. Under the current budget
scenario, cuts could be as severe as
a reduction in service to 48 trains
that would operate only during the
weekday commute, according to
Caltrain.
All other service would be elimi-
five days and two evenings each
week.
Dr. Stuart Viess, medical director
of the clinic, was in private practice
for more than 30 years as a lung
specialist. In recent years, he has
developed an interest in palliative
and end-of-life care, and stresses the
importance of free clinics in offer-
ing such services to patients who
otherwise would not receive them.
Patients at the clinic are pre-
screened and seen by appointment
only. All are uninsured and unable
to afford to see a doctor. Left with
few options, most scrape by with lit-

County considering
$40M building buy
Officials say purchase would

San Mateo County may pony up

Museum recovers $50K
Civil War gun stolen in 1975
RICHMOND, Va. — A Civil War
revolver that was stolen more than 30
years ago from the Museum of the
Confederacy has turned up again.
Collections Manager Catherine Wright
tells WTVR-TV that the .36-caliber
Spiller & Burr revolver was stolen in
1975 when the museum collection was
moved to a new building.
A woman in Knoxville, Tenn., discov-
ered the gun in December in her late
father’s belongings. She tried to sell it to
an Ohio antique dealer who traced the
gun to the museum.
WTVR reports that the woman’s father
collected Civil War items. It’s not known
how he came into possession of the gun.
The woman will not face charges.
Wright says the Spiller & Burr revolver
was one of the first Confederate-manu-
factured handguns. This one has an esti-
mated value of $50,000.

Runaway burglar to trial for bail jumping
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The convicted burglar who fled a Redwood
City courtroom after the verdict and remained
at large until her discovery in a San Bruno
attic will stand trial for felony bail jumping, a
judge ruled yesterday.
Jennifer Lynn Dickerson, 37, already faces
approximately 20 years for the original bur-
glary and car theft convictions. Skipping out
of her bail and court appearance could add
another eight months if she is also found
guilty of that felony, said District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe.
A judge found sufficient evidence at a pre-
liminary hearing Thursday afternoon to hold
Dickerson to answer on the single charge and
ordered her back to court Feb. 4 to enter a
Superior Court plea.
The charge can be either a misdemeanor or
felony. Prosecutors opted for the more serious

members and held until police arrived.

Teen to trial for attempted murder
A 17-year-old boy accused of stabbing two girls in the chest
after they accused him and his friends of stealing a cell phone
will stand trial on attempted murder and assault charges.
Horacio Gonzalez has pleaded not guilty but was held to
answer on all counts after a preliminary hearing in which eight
witnesses, including the girls, testified.
According to the District Attorney’s Office, one of the girls
believed either Gonzalez or his friend had taken a phone from her
purse when they were hanging out at Silver Terrace Park in San
Francisco. The group knows one another from high school. Later
that same day, Sept. 24, they encountered each other again at the
McDonald’s on Geneva Avenue in Daly City. An argument
ensued between Gonzalez and his accuser before he allegedly
pulled a knife and stabbed her twice and another girl once.
When Gonzalez was arrested a short time later, police say he
threatened the third girl in front of them as she identified him as
the attacker.
Gonzalez told authorities he stabbed the girls out of anger after
being punched, according to the District Attorney’s Office.
Gonzalez remains in custody on no-bail status. He returns to
court Feb. 2 to enter a Superior Court plea and set a trial date.

Doctors split on competency of murder suspect
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A pair of court-appointed doctors dis-
agree whether a Hillsborough man
accused of fatally shooting his friend sev-
eral times during an argument in his par-
ents’ pool house is competent to stand
trial.
After receiving the split decision, Judge
Lisa Novak appointed a third tie-breaker
to determine if Bradley Kleiman should
face trial and possible incarceration or
hospitalization in a state facility. That
report is due in March.
Kleiman, 30, is charged with murder
and the use of a firearm in the June death
of Christopher Calvache. Rather than wait
for a preliminary hearing, prosecutors last
November asked a criminal grand jury to
indict Kleiman. The move means if
Kleiman is hospitalized but later returned
to San Mateo County, he will move
straight to Superior Court for trial. Also,

Bonds to pay for levee fix
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The city of San Mateo hopes to start
construction soon on the South Bayfront
Levee project that will eventually lead to
the removal of thousands of San Mateo
and Foster City residences off a federal
flood zone map.
San Mateo residents on the east side of
the city voted two years ago to assess
themselves about $80 annually to pay
for three miles of levee improvements.
About 18,000 homes in San Mateo and
Foster City would be forced to pay high-
er insurance rates if the neighborhood
had not voted for the assessment.
Tuesday night, the San Mateo City
Council unanimously approved the
issuance of up to $6 million in bonds to
pay for the improvements.
A new draft flood zone map to be
issued by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency indicates almost
Authorities end search
of canal for missing boy
PATTERSON — Authorities stopped
searching a canal Thursday that they
thought might have contained the car of
a man suspected of abducting a 4-year-
old Northern California boy.
“The search is “almost back to square
one,” Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam
Christianson said after searchers pulled
a silver Lexus from the Delta-Mendota
canal outside Patterson on Thursday.
It was not the silver Toyota Corolla
linked to Tuesday’s kidnapping of
Juliani Cardenas, whom deputies sus-
pect was kidnapped from his grandmoth-
er’s home by Jose Esteban Rodriguez,
27, his mother’s ex-boyfriend.
A statewide Amber Alert remained in
effect, but Christianson said there were
still no signs of the boy or the suspect.
Rodriguez has a criminal record, that
includes domestic violence, the Modesto
Bee reported.
Authorities released a surveillance
video showing Rodriguez buying beer at
a convenience store about an hour before
the kidnapping. But investigators have
all of Foster City and most of the
Shoreview neighborhood in San Mateo
to be in a flood zone. The levee improve-
ments will take thousands of properties
out of flood risk and lower insurance
rates.
Work is expected to be completed Jan.
31, 2012, according to the San Mateo
Public Works Department.
FEMA is set to issue a new flood zone
map this summer. Six months after the
map is published, property owners who
are still in the flood zone area will be
required to buy flood insurance, about
$1,400 a year.
But San Mateo hopes the levee
improvements will be finished within six
months of the new map’s publication so
that the higher insurance rates will not
be imposed.

Kennedy family gathers on JFK’s 50th
By Brett Zongker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Fifty years ago
Thursday, President John F. Kennedy told the
world that “the torch had been passed to a new
generation of Americans” whom he chal-
lenged to “ask not what your country can do
for you — ask what you can do for your coun-
try.”
Caroline Kennedy told the Associated Press
that she has been thinking over her father’s
oft-quoted inaugural speech on Jan 20, 1961,
when he proclaimed that Americans “shall
pay any price, bear any burden, meet any
hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe,
to assure the survival and the success of liber-
ty.”
“I think he really expanded and redefined
our idea of what it means to be a citizen —
that everybody has something to contribute
and everybody has something to give back to
this country that’s given us so much,” Caroline
Kennedy said. “It’s not just an obligation, but
it’s really a rewarding experience and really a
belief in government and politics as a noble
profession.”
Kennedy joined members of her father’s
administration, civil rights activists, astronaut

Attorney General Eric Holder attends a news conference to announce the arrests of 110 Mafia

More than 120 busted
in Mafia crackdown
By Tom Hays
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Federal authorities orches-
trated one of the biggest Mafia takedowns in
FBI history Thursday, charging 127 suspected
mobsters and associates in the Northeast with
murders, extortion and other crimes spanning
decades.
Past investigations have resulted in strategic
strikes aimed at crippling individual crime
families. This time, authorities used a shotgun
approach, with some 800 federal agents and
police officers making scores of simultaneous
arrests stemming from different mob investi-
gations in New York, New Jersey and Rhode
Island.
They also used fanfare: Attorney General
Eric Holder made a trip to New York to
announce the operation at a news confer-
ence with the city’s top law enforcement
officials.
As of late Thursday, 125 had been arrested,
including four who were already behind bars.
Holder called the arrests “an important and
encouraging step forward in disrupting La
Cosa Nostra’s operations.” But he and others
also cautioned that the mob, while having lost

some of the swagger of the John Gotti era, is
known for adapting to adversity and finding
new ways of making money and spreading
violence.
“Members and associates of La Cosa Nostra
are among the most dangerous criminals in our
country,” Holder said. “The very oath of alle-
giance sworn by these Mafia members during
their initiation ceremony binds them to a life
of crime.”
In the past, the FBI has aggressively pursued
and imprisoned the leadership of the city’s five
Italian mob families, only to see ambitious
underlings fill the vacancies, said Janice
Fedarcyk, head of the FBI’s New York office.
“We deal in reality, and the reality is that the
mob, like nature, abhors a vacuum,” she said.
However, the FBI has gained a recent advan-
tage by cultivating a crop of mob figures will-
ing to wear wires and testify against gangsters
in exchange for leniency in their own cases.
“The vow of silence that is part of the oath
of omerta is more myth than reality today,” she
said.
In the latest cases, authorities say turncoats
recorded thousands of conversations of sus-
pected mobsters. Investigators also tapped
their phones.

Any talks could prove significant if Seoul

for a resumption of long-stalled international

South Korean naval ship in disputed waters.
The agenda this time should include North
Korean assurances that it will take “responsi-

shelling of a South Korean island and not pro-
voke further conflict, said Chun Hae-sung, a
spokesman for South Korea’s Unification
Ministry, which is in charge of inter-Korean

Tunisia’s Islamists
eye place in politics
TUNIS, Tunisia — For decades, Tunisians
espousing political Islam were banned, jailed
and forced underground by their country’s
autocratic regime.
Now they are seeking a place in government
— raising fears that Islamic radicalism might
take root in Tunisia, long seen by the West as
a bulwark against terrorism.
With the promise that democracy will
replace dictatorship, members of the outlawed
Ennahdha party have taken to the streets, join-
ing daily protests aimed at banishing all traces
of the former ruling party of ousted President
Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.
Such activism by the Islamists — who want
a role for Islam in their country’s politics — is
feeding jitters that extremism may be on the
rise in Tunisia, long a Westward-looking
nation proud of its modern identity.

The hope,and challenges,of regionalization
F
or more than five years, this newspa-
per has advocated a third way to
contend with municipal financial
shortfalls. Instead of simply talking about
service cuts or revenue increases (taxes and
fees). Consolidation is a true opportunity to
realize savings and provide better service for
taxpayers.
The idea is not absent in the minds of city
officials for long, particularly when the
effects of the recession prove the status quo
is no longer sustainable. In recent years,
there has been more action on the consolida-
tion front, but most of the steps have been
incremental.
One recent action is sharing a fire chief
between San Mateo and Foster City. Further
sharing of management should save both
cities $500,000 a year.
Another recent action is the contract
between the city of San Carlos and the
Sheriff’s Office for police services. That
move saved the city approximately $2 mil-
lion a year.
Consolidation saves money because it
combines management and training.
Because of the impending dissolution of
the Belmont-San Carlos Fire Department in
October, the need for proposals to run the
city of San Carlos’ fire services is immediate.
The city of Belmont, which funds fire servic-
es through a fire protection district, has indi-
cated it may retract and form its own depart-
ment.
As part of its process of collecting propos-
als, the city of San Carlos has provided the
spark for a new discussion on regionalization
— with the cities of San Mateo and
Redwood City taking the lead in planning a
new department that would encompass both,
in addition to Foster City, San Carlos and
perhaps Belmont, if it is interested.

OPINION
Editorial
a proposal from the California Department of
Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) but
that did not come to fruition in part because
of union opposition. Cal Fire has a different
schedule and has a lower pay scale than that
of local firefighters. The city of Redwood
City offered up a proposal with some savings
and the city of San Carlos asked the county
to provide a proposal through its contract
with Cal Fire. The lower range of the propos-
al had what one San Carlos councilman
described as “jaw-dropping” savings. This
week, a finance and operations subcommittee
of the San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors comprised of board President
Carole Groom and Adrienne Tissier delayed
action on the proposal 30 days and asked for
more information on a regional approach.
This action is proving to be frustrating for
San Carlos city officials who are facing a
tight deadline on obtaining fire services and
are interested in getting a variety of propos-
als from which to choose.
So what now?
There are several scenarios with a lot of
moving parts. Groom said no one would
allow the city of San Carlos to go without
fire service and offered up the idea that the
county could provide a six-month contract.
That short time frame, Groom said, would
provide the proper deadline to spur action on
a regional approach. It could provide the
proper motivation, but the 30-day delay and
the idea of a six-month contract is abbreviat-
ing an already tight deadline. In the mean-
time, San Carlos officials, led by Mayor
Omar Ahmad, welcome a full-on discussion
on regionalization but not if there is only one
proposal on the table.
Obtaining the support of the firefighters’
the compassionate thing to do, but because it is
the right thing to do economically.
All these assistance programs that we have
created in the preceding century are exactly
motivated by compassion. Denying that is
absurd. These programs do wonders in the
short term. But then, by the way they are
applied, they change the self-reliant behavior
of next generations. Hence the statistics above
(and your Veronica who should not have
indulged in getting two children). Can you
please write different articles? Can you articu-
late how these compassionate, well-intended
programs need to be changed so that we can
regain a majority of self-reliant citizenry (and
have way less Veronicas)?

union is key for any proposal, and it is the
union’s charge to ensure the best deal possi-
ble for its members. However, it is also the
responsibility of elected officials and city and
county staff to ensure the best financial situa-
tion for its residents. It is unfortunate that the
cities of San Carlos and Belmont could not
continue to partner for fire services because
the funding formula is no longer acceptable
for them. But the dissolution could be a win-
win situation for both them and other cities if
the next steps are taken both deliberately and
with the interests of all parties in mind. This
is no small task considering the varied inter-
ests and perceptions of those involved but
the fact that Groom and others are pushing
for it is encouraging. Everyone is interested
in seeing the results of more information
gathering on a regional approach, but 30 days
is a tight time frame for significant progress.
The most we can likely expect is a well
thought-out sketch that would include the
regional approach with the cities which the
county can join after to realize its own much-
needed savings. That should prove to be a
worthwhile template to fill out through nego-
tiations and discussion. However, a formal
short-term fire service proposal from the
county should be longer than six months to
give the process the proper breathing room
for a full exploration of options. A year or
perhaps two would provide the city of San
Carlos an opportunity to have more options
in the short term, and an opportunity for all
to come up with a plan with which everyone
can be satisfied.
Consolidation and regionalization has been
a long time coming and it is encouraging that
significant steps are being taken to make it a
reality. But these next steps are critical in
ensuring that any concept saves money, pro-
vides better service and appeases everyone’s
concerns.
more contribution toward retirement and health
benefits. All government employees or elected
representatives must work 20 years in state
service to be invested in the retirement system.
Those who leave early can choose to cash out
their personal one lump sum contributions that
will be nontaxable (the government contribu-
tion funds remains the PERS and STIRS). An
employee cannot collect retirement until age
60 for safety employees and age 62 for other
classifications. Double dipping after retirement
will not be allowed or offset by the difference
between the dip and the retirement income for
the period of specialized service. If there is a
transfer from one government entity, say the
city, county, state or federal agency, the retire-
ment benefits will be portable and governed by
the entity you retire from.
If the Legislature cannot pass this reform,
then let the public vote on the restriction.

Ed Roberts, you’ll care to learn more. Ed
Roberts is to the disability rights movement
what Martin Luther King
Jr. is to the civil rights
movement. People with
disabilities all over the
world, who are active in
disability rights, celebrate
his life and honor his
memory by practicing his
principles of independent
living every day.
To appreciate how his Amy Selders
leadership evolved, it is
important to understand
some background. In 1953,
14-year-old Ed Roberts, a
San Mateo County native,
contracted polio. The vac-
cine for polio hadn’t been
discovered yet. Ed was par-
alyzed, and spent many
years of his life relying on
an iron lung to help him
breathe. There was a brief Ed Roberts
period of time when Ed
wanted to die, which may not be surprising.
Once he decided he wanted to live he, along
with his mother, Zona, fought for his rights to
attend school, then college, relying on a respira-
tor and power wheelchair instead of the iron
lung. He was an amazing self-advocate. Faced
with discrimination in his life, Ed learned about
the effectiveness of the social movements of the
times. He learned from the local organizers of
women’s rights movement at UC Berkeley and
thought the same principles of organizing a
movement could be applied to disability rights.
And so it began.
The disability rights or independent living
movement is, in a nutshell, about individual
choice; the ability to take control of ones’ own
life and make ones’ own decisions, to have the
same rights and equal access to places, goods
and services as our non-disabled peers. It’s
about equality. Ed Roberts is known around the
world as “The Father of the Independent Living
Movement.” Our own CID (Center for
Independence of the Disabled) in San Mateo
and Daly City came out of that movement.
For so many of us with disabilities, Ed
Roberts was an icon for possibility. He opened
our eyes to a world many had only dreamed
about. The general public first saw him as a
“super-cripple” believing that not all people
with disabilities could live independently in the
community, go to school or go to work. He was
considered special. He rejected this notion out-
right and used to say we’re not “super-cripples”
we’re “role models.” Without a doubt, he was
just that; a role model to us all.
It didn’t matter to me that I don’t have the
same disability, or even that we never met. I
could “relate” to Ed Roberts. I wasn’t alone;
millions of people with disabilities all over the
world felt as I did. The impact he had was
incredible. His words and his actions hit us
smack in the face, like a wake-up call that
shouted “This is your life! What are you going
to do with it?”
Through him, many learned that if we really
want to experience life on our own terms, some-
times we have to fight for our rights, our free-
dom and our independence. There are times
when we have to stand alone, fight our own bat-
tles. But when we come together as a people,
we can literally change the world and we did.
“And life is great ... it doesn’t matter whether
you are in a wheelchair or what you are ...
whatever it is that makes you different is pretty
irrelevant. It’s who you are as a person. That’s
the most relevant thing of all.” — Ed Roberts.

Four HP directors step down
SAN FRANCISCO — Hewlett-Packard Co. is trying to
put a fresh face on its scandal-scarred board, swapping out
four directors in an extreme leadership makeover at the
troubled technology icon.
The shake-up announced Thursday comes as HP’s new
leadership tries to dampen shareholder anger over the han-
dling of CEO Mark Hurd’s ouster six months ago.
Hurd’s abrupt exit caused billions of dollars in share-
holder wealth to evaporate, and his generous severance
triggered lawsuits accusing HP’s board of squandering the
company’s money. Hurd’s immediate move to rival Oracle
Corp., which earned him a rich new employment contract,
added to investors’ ire.
AMD tops estimates with 4Q results
NEW YORK — Advanced Micro Devices Inc. said
Thursday that its fourth-quarter profit shrank from a year
ago, when a big legal settlement it won from archrival chip
maker Intel Corp. pumped up AMD’s earnings.
Excluding unusual items, however, AMD’s results for
the last three months of 2010 topped Wall Street forecasts.
And it projects higher revenue for the first quarter of 2011
than analyst do on average, according to FactSet.
Coupled with Intel’s better-than-expected results from
last week, AMD’s earnings suggest the market for person-
al computers is continuing to improve. Intel and AMD are
the world’s No. 1 and No. 2 providers of microprocessors,
respectively.
Apple under fire from environmental groups
BEIJING — Chinese environmental groups accused
Apple Inc. on Thursday of ignoring their concerns about
health and safety problems at factories that supply it with
components.
A report by the three dozen groups, “The Other Side of
Apple,” ranks Apple as the least responsive to concerns
among more than two dozen technology companies that
were surveyed.

Stocks end lower
Materials stocks fall on fear of Chinese rate hike
By Matthew Craft

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Concerns that China
will take steps to slow its economic
expansion sent commodities and materi-
als stocks lower Thursday.
China reported that its economy
expanded 10.3 percent in 2010.
Economists expect that China’s central
bank will increase interest rates to slow
down growth and keep inflation in
check.
Demand from China has sent com-
modities prices surging over the past
year.
“All investors and companies these
days are clinging to this Chinese demand
story,” said Jack Ablin, chief investment
officer at Harris Private Bank. “And any-
thing that could cause that to falter could
have ugly implications.”
Oil and copper fell more than 2 per-
cent. Silver fell 5 percent.
Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold
Inc. dropped 4 percent even after the
mining giant reported 60 percent higher
income in the fourth quarter as a result
of higher copper and gold prices.
DuPont fell 1.6 percent and Dow
Chemical Co. fell 2.5 percent.

By Martin Crutsinger
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The number of
people who bought previously owned
homes last year fell to the lowest level
in 13 years, and economists say it will
be years before the housing market

High unemployment and a record

is expected to pick up this year, but not
enough to raise home sales to healthier

SAN FRANCISCO — Eric Schmidt,
a technology veteran brought in as
Google Inc.’s “adult supervision” a
decade ago, is relinquishing the CEO job
to Larry Page, one of the prodigies who
co-founded the company behind the
Internet’s dominant gateway.
The surprise shake-up announced
Thursday appears to be driven by
Schmidt’s desire to tackle other chal-
lenges as much as Page’s personal ambi-
tion.
“Day-to-day adult supervision no
longer needed!” Schmidt wrote on his
Twitter account moments after Google
dropped the bombshell that upstaged its
fourth-quarter earnings. Schmidt, 55,
will still be available to advise Page, 37,

Sergey Brin, as the company’s executive
chairman.

The poor year for sales did end on a
stronger note. Buyers snapped up
homes at a seasonally adjusted annual
rate of 5.28 million units in December,
the best sales pace since May and the
12.8 percent rise from November was
the biggest one-month surge in 11

Gains in mortgage rates may have

recovery in housing.
“The job market is still very weak,
and unemployment is very high. Until
we get more jobs, people will be reti-
cent about buying homes,” he said.
Zandi said home prices would fall
another 5 percent this year. Sales of
previously occupied homes would like-
ly exceed 5 million. That’s a slight
improvement from last year, he said,
but it will probably take until 2013 or
2014 for sales to reach a healthy level
of 6 million units a year.
Home sales will benefit from an
improved hiring market. Many econo-
mists predict employers will double the
number of jobs added this year com-
pared with 2010. A reason for more
optimism is a decline in the number of
people applying for unemployment
benefits over the past four months.

Mitsubishi has racy hatchback
Toyota developing alternative electric motor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOKYO — Toyota Motor Corp., maker of
the popular Prius hybrid car, is developing a
new type of electric motor to cut its depend-
ence on rare earth metals and lower costs, a
company spokesman said Monday.
The new technology will help free the
world’s No. 1 automaker from relying on
China, which produces 97 percent of the glob-
al output of rare earths needed for many high-
tech products, including the current genera-
tion of hybrid gasoline-electric motors.
Beijing sent shock waves through Japan’s
high-tech sector late last year when it blocked
AUTO
exports of the exotic metals after a diplomatic
spat, and prices have soared as China gradual-
ly tightens its output.
“Toyota is always looking for a reduction in
resources and in terms of costs,” said
spokesman Paul Nolasco.
The company has not released any specific
uses or timeline for the new motor, he said.
Toyota has bet big on gasoline-electric
hybrid technology, and an executive said last
year it will begin selling a completely electric
vehicle in 2012 in the U.S., Japan and Europe.
The company is also working on an electric
sport-utility vehicle with U.S. luxury electric
car maker Tesla.
Analysts said production of such vehicles
was still small enough that there was little
short-term risk from a shortage of rare earths,
but this could change quickly.
“This isn’t a major issue right now, but as
these types of cars become more popular, it
becomes a big risk if supply is limited or cut
off,” said Mizuho Investors Securities auto
analyst Ryoichi Saito.
He said it made sense for companies that
make high-tech products to be developing
alternatives, given trade uncertainties with
China. Japan has also actively pursued deals
around Asia to develop alternative sources.

The 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback
Ralliart is a turbocharged, sporty hatchback
that’s tantalizingly close to a bad boy racer.
The five-seat, five-door Sportback Ralliart
looks the part, with a gaping, dark front grille,
sinister-looking headlamps, low-profile sport
tires and a prominent rear spoiler.
Just a push on the accelerator pedal brings
this hot performance hatchback to life as the
race-car-derived engine noisily delivers 237
horsepower and 253 foot-pounds of torque.
Thank goodness it comes standard with all-
wheel drive.
To be sure, there are a minority of people
these days looking for a flashy, rather rough-
riding, powerful but gasoline-gulping, four-
cylinder hatchback. But the 2011 Lancer
Sportback Ralliart, with race-car components,
is a unique experience and continues to attract
many youthful auto enthusiasts.
The Lancer Sportback Ralliart is the top of
the line of Mitsubishi’s Lancer hatchback
series that’s called Sportback and was
launched in the 2010 model year.
For 2011, the Sportback series has a lower
starting retail price because a new, base model
- the ES - has been added with a lower-power
engine, generating 148 horsepower. Starting
manufacturer’s suggested retail price, includ-
ing destination charge, is $17,755 for a 2011
ES with this four-cylinder engine and manual
transmission. The lowest starting price for a
Lancer Sportback with automatic is $18,655
for a 2011 ES with 148-horsepower, four-
cylinder engine.

China has been gradually reducing the

China’s 2010 export quota of 24,280 tons was
a 30 percent reduction from the previous year.
The U.S., Canada and Australia have rare
earths but stopped mining them in the 1990s
as lower-cost Chinese supplies became avail-
able. China has about 30 percent of global
rare earths deposits.

Buyers must step up to a starting MSRP,
including destination charge, of $20,655 for
the higher-powered, 168-horsepower four
cylinder. The top, Lancer Sportback Ralliart
with turbocharged, 237-horsepower four
cylinder starts at $28,855. There is another
racer Mitsubishi Lancer with even more
power. The 2011 Lancer Evo has a 291-horse-
power, turbo four cylinder and starts at
$34,755. But it’s a sedan, not a hatchback.
Hatchback competitors to the Lancer
Sportback include the 2011 Subaru Impreza,
which starts at $18,720 for a 170-horsepower,
five-door model and goes to $36,720 for a
305-horsepower, five-door model with turbo
four cylinder. Another competitor is the 2011
Mazda3 five-door, which starts at $20,840 for
a base, 167-horsepower model and goes to
$24,495 for a 2011 Mazdaspeed3 hatchback
with turbocharged, 263-horsepower four
cylinder.
The test Lancer Sportback Ralliart attracted
attention with its unabashedly bold appear-
ance. Young people especially noticed this car,
which was painted a bright Octane Blue color
that almost seemed to glow.
Engine power came on quickly, with little
turbo lag. I zoomed forward to merge into city
traffic and passed other cars easily on two-
lane, country roads.
The accelerator pedal took a bit of learning,

because if I didn’t meter the pressure at the
outset, I found the car quickly getting beyond
residential speed limits. In fact, when I kept
the car at 25 miles an hour, I felt as if this
sporty car was crawling along the pavement.
The engine punch of power, or torque, is
available very early in the rev band, meaning
it’s there at slower speeds and is palpable.
Indeed, all 253 foot-pounds of torque comes
on by 3,000 rpm.
The only transmission is a six-speed, dual-
clutch, automated manual Sportronic Shift
that worked well to manage driver demands
on the gas pedal and the strong power delivery
to the wheels.
Don’t expect great fuel mileage. The test car
had a federal government rating of 17 miles
per gallon in city driving and 25 mpg on the
highway.
It’s difficult to get into a car like this,

though, and drive modestly. The test car, with
65 percent city driving, managed only 18.6
miles per gallon and I never loaded it up with
a lot of passengers and cargo. Premium gaso-
line is needed for optimal performance, too.
The thing that stuck with me was how noisy,
even rough-sounding, the engine was at times.
This combined with the constant road noise
from the 18-inch summer tires, including
every clunk as the tires went over manhole
covers, was fatiguing. But I didn’t notice it so
much when I cranked up the 710-watt
Rockford Fosgate audio system.
Another point: The Sportback models are
15 feet long — longer than the Impreza and
Mazda3 five-door models — and they don’t
look or feel small as they are driven.
I noticed a bit of heft to the test car, too, as
it moved precisely through mountain roads
and around curves. The Sportback Ralliart
model is more than 3,500 pounds, so it’s not a
lightweight like some other smaller, sporty
hatchbacks.
The all-wheel drive system worked well on
dry and wet pavement. Note it’s called All-
Wheel Control and is derived from the system
on Mitsubishi’s rally race cars.
The power steering moved the test car pre-
cisely.
I appreciated the wide cargo area at the
back, though tall items can be problematic.
And rear seatbacks fold down to provide more
room.
But interior plastics on the dashboard did
not impress. The hard plastic pieces seemed
ho-hum, and the tactile feedback from some
knobs and buttons conveyed a cheap feel.

For the first four games of the West
Catholic Athletic League schedule, the Notre
Dame-Belmont girls’ basketball team did not
have a favorable matchup and it resulted in an
0-4 start.
Thursday night in Belmont, the Tigers
found an opponent in Sacred Heart Cathedral
in which Notre Dame had the favorable
matchups and it resulted in a 37-27 Notre
Dame win, its first league win of the season.
“We needed that,” said Notre Dame coach
Josh Davenport. “It was our style of game:
slow tempo and grind it on offense and
defense.
“As a spectator, it’s probably hard to watch.
But as a coach, I loved every second of it.”
This is not the same Irish team from three
years ago that was one of the best teams in the
nation. That squad has been replaced by this
one, which features several under-sized play-
ers who rely on the 3-point shot.
Notre Dame countered with center Emily
Morris, who was virtually unstoppable in the
paint. She scored a game-high 15 points, with
nine of those points coming from the free
throw line. She also pulled down eight
rebounds as the Tigers controlled the boards.
When Morris wasn’t taking the ball to the
basket, she was setting up her teammates.
“This was a game where the matchup
favored us,” Davenport said. “They focused
so much on [Morris], it opens up everything
for everybody else. We play inside-out, but
she is so unselfish, she creates opportunities
for everyone on the floor.”
Notre Dame (1-4 WCAL, 10-7 overall) got
off to a decent start to the game, made even
better considering how poorly Sacred Heart
Cathedral (2-3, 9-7) started. Morris scored the
first five points for the Tigers as the Irish
couldn’t buy a shot.
The Irish finally got on the scoreboard with
2:17 left to play in the first quarter when Ann
Marie Sequeria made a layup. That was fol-
lowed by back-to-back 3-pointers from T.J.

Niemi kept it close with a handful of big

the puck lying behind him, and San Jose took
over and tied it in the second period. The
Canucks, coming off a five-game trip, were
outshot 25-9 in the period and relied on
Luongo to keep it tied after Couture scored

out win

As Capuchino sweeper Jamie Navarro lined
up to take a penalty kick late in the Mustangs’
rivalry game against Mills, Vikings coach
Caroline Tiziani could only put her head down
and think about the past.
Last year, Capuchino scored early on a
penalty kick that propelled the Mustangs to a
3-1 win over the Vikings. A year later,
Capuchino was 12 yards away from pulling
out a tie with Mills.
Navarro, however, punched her shot well
over the Mills goal, preserving the Vikings’ 1-
0 win.
“These are the type of matches you play
soccer for,” Tiziani said. “I’m just really happy
for the girls.”
On top of the rivalry angle was the fact the
two teams are 1-2 in the Peninsula Athletic
League Ocean Division standings. While
Mills remains the only team in the division
without a loss, Capuchino, with its first league
loss, maintained its hold on the top spot by
one point over the Vikings.
Not that was any consolation to Capuchino
coach Rich Medina, who was frustrated by the
final outcome. Despite pressuring the Mills
defense the entire second half, the Mustangs
could not find the equalizer.
“A game like this … [the winner will be the
team that] wants it more,” Medina said. “It
was extremely physical, extremely emotional
game.”
In the end, it was Mills’ defense that wanted
the shutout more than Capuchino wanted a
goal. While the quartet of defenders — out-
side fullbacks Rachel Ling and Alexandria
Wheeler, along with stopper Heidi Jansen and
sweeper Lauren Paplos — might not look
pretty doing so, they got the job done, clearing

LeBeau makes Steelers defense go
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH — At 73 years old, Dick
LeBeau still has that “swagger.” He still designs
and makes the calls for one of the league’s best
and most aggressive defenses. He still finds new
ways to be innovative.
But the Pittsburgh Steelers defensive coordina-
tor also has remained humble enough to know
staffers at the team’s practice facility by name.
He does push-ups with his players, and has even
been known to shed a tear when those same play-
ers who admire him so much go out of their way
to pay him tribute.
In the nine seasons LeBeau has served as the
Pittsburgh’s defensive coordinator, the team has
never finished ranked lower than No. 9 defen-
sively in the NFL, and its average ranking is No.
3. This season, no team allowed less points and
only one permitted less yardage than the Steelers
(13-4), who host the New York Jets (13-5)
Sunday in the AFC championship game.
It’s those types of results that earn players’
attention. But when it comes to LeBeau and the
Steelers, the members of what has been arguably
the league’s most consistently dominant defense
over the past decade take their respect for him
almost to a level of reverence.
“He’s like a father figure to everybody,” cor-
nerback Ike Taylor said. “You won’t find another
guy who is coach LeBeau. A guy of his stature,
knows defense in and out, pretty much made up
the ’fire-zone blitz’ packages. He’s very laid-
back, real cool, real collected. Usually, you see
those guys and they have egos. There’s not one
cell in his body that has a bad ego. Very humble.

double, do we?”’ said owner Dave Faccone,
who insists it’s a joke. Still, some Bears fans
have chimed in.
“I got a text saying, ’You big troublemaker,
charging them double. It should be triple,”’ he
said.
On the other side of the state line, Packers fan
Frank Emmert Jr. of Superior, Wis., reminisced
this week about the time he survived a small
plane crash in 1995 thanks to the foam cheese-
head he put over his face seconds before impact.
“The FAA credited it, not me,” said Emmert,
52.
Mike Pyle, who played center for the Bears
for nine years, including the 1963 champi-
onship season, recalled how his coach and
owner of the Bears, George Halas, brought a
SPORTS
“You can go on and on
about coach LeBeau.”
Can’t you tell?
“He’s the best defensive
coach,” linebacker James
Farrior said, “I’ve ever been
around.”
That’s saying something.
Farrior’s been around for 14
Dick LeBeau seasons.
“He just makes you want
to work for him,” defensive end Ziggy Hood
said. “We love and respect what he does and
everything that he gives to us.”
Right now, he’s put this unit on the verge of
another Super Bowl. And something tells us,
LeBeau knows how to keep it focused this week.
“Of course he’s a great defensive coordinator,
a great coach,” defensive tackle Chris Hoke said.
“He gets the best out of all of us. But also on a
personal level, everybody respects and every-
body loves the guy. On and off the field, I think
everybody appreciates him.”
The players have shown it publicly in a myri-
ad of ways over the years.
There’s the time the entire defense sprung for
authentic replica Detroit Lions No. 44 jerseys, a
tribute to his playing days as one of the best
defensive backs of his generation. The way they
openly campaigned for years for his induction
into the Pro Football Hall of Fame — and the
way they all showed up at his induction ceremo-
ny when he finally made it in 2010.
“I’ve said consistently they’re the best PR
department I’ve gotten,” LeBeau said. “They got
me in there. It was great. It’s very humbling to be
message over to Packers coach Vince Lombardi
before a game.
“He went to the locker room door at Lambeau
and said, ’We’re going to whip your (exple-
tive),”’ said Pyle, 71.
Yet, with all that bad blood all those years,
you’d have to go back to the week after the
attack on Pearl Harbor to find the last time the
Bears and Packers met in a playoff game. (The
Bears won on their way to the championship).
This time around, the winner of Sunday’s
showdown goes to the Super Bowl at Cowboys
Stadium.
“There have been some highly hyped games
that went splat, but this, they’re playing for the
Halas Trophy, to go to Dallas to win the
Lombardi Trophy,” said Marc Silverman, the
co-host of a radio show on ESPN 1000, Waddle
and Silvy, with former Bears receiver Tom
Waddle.
Not that the Super Bowl seems to matter
much: Packers fans said beating the Bears at
Soldier Field would be a wonderful cake, with a
honest with you. It’s the type of thing that makes
you think you made the right career choice.
When the guys that you’re working with can treat
you like that, it’s a very, very special thing and
it’s a lifetime memory and something I will never
forget.”
LeBeau has had two different tenures as
Steelers defensive coordinator (sandwiched
around, among other things, a head-coaching
stint in Cincinnati). Despite having a background
in a completely different style of defense, Mike
Tomlin kept LeBeau when he was hired to
replace Bill Cowher as head coach in 2007.
Tomlin said LeBeau “inspires” him.
“He’s a special man,” Tomlin said, “arguably
the best in the world at what he does.”
Tough to argue with that.
“It’s nothing that this game can present to him
that he hasn’t seen in this league,” Tomlin said.
“And I think the guys have a level of respect for
it. But at the same time, he has a unique and very
authentic way of relating those stories and les-
sons to the men.”
LeBeau’s defenses have been known for their
creative blitzes and the pressure they put on the
opposing quarterback — and for being stifling
against the run.
This season, Pittsburgh led the league in sacks
with 48, and the mere 62.8 rushing yards per
game they allowed was the third-lowest since the
NFL merger in 1970.
But no team this season ran for more against
the Steelers than the Jets, who had 106 yards in a
22-17 win Dec. 19. Pittsburgh also uncharacter-
istically managed only one sack in that game.
LeBeau acknowledged the Steelers will have to
Super Bowl victory serving as the frosting.
“There would be nothing sweeter than to
watch the Packers take that George Halas tro-
phy at Soldier Field,” said John O’Neill, whose
outfit at Packers games is a green bishop’s cos-
tume and mitre, with Lombardi’s face on it.
He’s appropriately known as St. Vince.
It’s the same story in the birthplace of the
Bears: Decatur, Ill.
“I can’t think of a bigger Bears game,” said
76-year-old Charley May, whose family and the
team have been intertwined since his dad,
Walter “Red” May, took Halas up on an offer to
play for the Decatur Staleys. Halas later moved
the team to Chicago and changed its name.
“For guys who have followed the Bears all
their life and truly hate the Packers, yeah, this is
their Super Bowl,” said Mark Foster, 54, who
plans to erect a 5-foot inflatable Bears helmet
outside his home in Lansing, south of Chicago.
“We can lose 50 to nothing in the Super Bowl to
Pittsburgh or the Jets, but if we beat the Packers,
who cares?”
THE DAILY JOURNAL
do a better job.
“Coach LeBeau has another game film to look
at, how they attacked us, how he wants to stop
certain things,” Hoke said. “So he’ll come up
with some new wrinkles to stop what they want
to do to us.”
Jets coach Rex Ryan made his name as a
defensive coordinator with the Baltimore
Ravens. He called LeBeau “a legend,” and joked
that he’d rank him as the league’s best at his job
if it weren’t for the fact that Ryan’s twin, Rob,
also was a defensive coordinator.
“He’s always on the cutting edge of creating
new things,” Ryan said of LeBeau. “His players
play extremely hard for him. They have great
trust in him.”
And it’s that trust that keeps LeBeau coming
back, year after year. In fact, he has a standard
retort for those who dare to ask when he plans to
retire after 52 consecutive years in the NFL as a
player or coach.
“I’m not even the oldest coach in the state of
Pennsylvania,” he said. “There’s a guy up here at
Penn State, he’s 10 years older than me, so I feel
like a baby.”
The prospect of outlasting Penn State’s 84-
year-old Joe Paterno aside, LeBeau doesn’t
sound like a man making his final Super Bowl
run.
“I don’t think these guys had too bad a year
defensively, and we’ve still got some defense to
play,” he said. “So if somebody wants me to
work, I think maybe we can still get them in and
out of the huddle a couple times.”
See what they’re talking about? That “swag-
ger.”
Scott Wiese understands what Foster is talk-
ing about.
“The only thing I can compare it to is if the
Cubs played the Cardinals in Game 7 for the
pennant,” said Wiese, 30, who grew up in the
Decatur area and now lives in St. Louis. “It’s the
biggest game for me as a Bears fan my whole
life, and that includes the Super Bowl.”
Don’t expect Wiese to do something crazy.
Again.
It was Wiese who, before the Super Bowl in
February 2007, vowed in writing to change his
name to Peyton Manning if the Indianapolis
Colts beat his Bears — which they did. He went
to court to keep his promise, but the judge
tossed out his request.
As for the 44-year-old Cochara, he’s not
about to stop rooting for the Packers. But, he
said, the bar where he was taped up after he
played “We are the Champions” following that
Packers win has never been the same.
“Packers fans are scared about what hap-
pened,” he said.

Wozniacki,Djokovic advance; Henin out
By John Pye
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MELBOURNE, Australia —
Justine Henin has been eliminated
in the third round of the Australian
Open, losing 6-4, 7-6 (8) to Svetlana
Kuznetsova on Friday just a year
after reaching the final in her come-
back to Grand Slam tennis.
It was Henin’s first loss in a major
to Kuznetsova, the former French
and U.S. Open champion, and her
worst run at a Grand Slam event
since Wimbledon in 2005.
Henin was only weeks into a
comeback from a career break from
the tour when she lost the final last
year to Serena Williams, the third
time in four appearances that she’d
reached the championship match at
Melbourne. Her comeback season
was derailed when she injured her
right elbow at Wimbledon and did-
n’t play again in 2010.
The seven-time Grand Slam win-
ner put up quite a fight in this one.
Stanford loses UCLA tips Cal at buzzer
by 23 to USC
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Southern Cal
held Stanford to its worst shooting
performance since the advent of the
shot clock during a 65-42 victory
Thursday night.
The Cardinal shot just 22.2 percent
from the field, their worst showing
since the shot clock was introduced in
the 1985-86 season. The 42 points
was also a season-low for Stanford.
USC (11-8, 3-3 Pac-10), on the
other hand, made 7 of 14 3-pointers
and shot 56 percent from the field.
Nikola Vucevic had 20 points and
nine rebounds for the Trojans. Alex
Stepheson added 10 points and 11
rebounds for his seventh double-dou-
ble of the year.
Anthony Brown had nine points for
Stanford (10-7, 3-3), which scored
only seven points in the first 13 min-
Kuznetsova twice had chances to
serve out the match but Henin broke
her both times. In a fluctuating
tiebreaker, Kuznetsova was ahead 6-
4 before Henin sent a service return
skidding down the line and took the
next point. She netted a forehand to
give Kuznetsova another match
point at 8-7 but again hit a powerful
forehand service return winner.
Henin finally lost when she sent a
forehand wide, giving Kuznetsova
only her third win in 19 head-to-
head meetings dating to 2003. She
had nine double-faults and 41
unforced errors in an uncharacteris-
tically sloppy performance.
“I know I’m not 100 percent — I
knew it before walking on the
court,” she said. “That’s why I say
there are no excuses.
“I decided to play not being 100
percent. It’s been difficult in the last
three days on my elbow and I just
did everything that I could that it
will be OK, but it wasn’t enough.”
The 2004 Australian Open cham-
utes of the second half.
The Cardinal scored the first basket
of the game when Josh Owens hit a
turnaround jumper, but made just 2 of
their first 14 shots to trail 16-5.
Stanford didn’t reach double digits
until Brown hit a layup with 6:57
remaining in the half to make it 24-10.
Southern Cal was playing with a
seven-man rotation after freshman
guard Bryce Jones announced he was
transferring on Monday. But the
Trojans didn’t appear fatigued while
smothering Stanford inside and shut-
ting down the Cardinal’s Jeremy
Green, who came into the game aver-
aging 15.5 points per game. Green
made 2 of 9 shots to finish with five
points.
USC outrebounded Stanford by
nine and shot 54 percent in the first
half to lead 37-22.
SPORTS
pion said Kuznetsova was more
aggressive, went to the net and hit
more winners, so she deserved the
victory.
“There are some days that are
harder than others for a lot of rea-
sons, physical, mental, your adver-
sary also, sometimes a style of game
that is harder to manage, the pres-
sure,” she said. “But obviously I
wanted to play, I wanted to win. I
wanted to go as far as possible.”
In the previous match on center
court, Caroline Wozniacki beat
Dominika Cibulkova 6-4, 6-3 to
avenge last week’s loss in a tuneup
tournament.

LOS ANGELES — Reeves Nelson
scored a career-high 24 points, tipping
in the winning basket at the buzzer,
and UCLA beat California 86-84
Thursday night for its third straight
win.
Lazeric Jones added a career-high
24 points, making seven of eight free
throws in the final 1:11, and Tyler
Honeycutt had 15 for the Bruins (12-
6, 4-2 Pac-10), who hit a season-high
tying 10 3-pointers, four by
Honeycutt.
Cal’s Allen Crabbe hit a 3-pointer
that tied the game at 84 with 10 sec-
onds to go. Honeycutt dribbled up the
court, scrambled to the right side of
the free-throw line and put up a short
jumper that missed.
Nelson made a beeline for the
offensive rebound and got his right
hand on the ball to beat the buzzer for
the win after the Bruins blew a 14-
point lead over the final 4:07.
Harper Kamp scored 21 points for
soccer and what she’s looking for in
a boyfriend.
Wozniacki, playing her first
Grand Slam as the world No. 1, is
seeking her first major win.
“I am happy I got the revenge
since I lost to her in Sydney last
week; It was not an easy match; She
went out there, she was really on
fire; You know, I’m happy to be
through to the next round,” the 20-
year-old Danish player worked
through the answers to the usual
questions.
French Open champion Francesca
Schiavone also moved on, beating
Monica Niculescu of Romania 6-0,
7-6 (2). No. 9 Li Na of China, who
reached the semifinals here last year
before losing in two tiebreak sets
against Williams, advanced with a
6-2, 6-1 win over Barbora
Zahlavova Strycova.
Novak Djokovic only had to play
one set in the third round to
advance. The 2008 Australian
champion was leading Viktor
the Golden Bears (9-9, 2-4). Crabbe
added 17 points and Jorge Gutierrez
for Cal, which only led once, when
they made the game’s first basket.
UCLA starting center Joshua Smith
left the game after hitting his head on
the floor while taking a charge with
14:21 left in the first half. He
remained out as a precaution after
complaining of a stiff and sore neck.
He will be re-evaluated on Friday.
Honeycutt hit UCLA’s 10th 3-
pointer — double the Bruins’ average
— to make it 73-59.
As in the first half, the Bruins
allowed a double-digit lead to evapo-
rate in the final minutes. The Bears
used a 10-3 run to close within 76-69,
with Crabbe scoring four straight and
Kamp making four consecutive free
throws.
Jones turned the ball over and
Gutierrez scored on a fastbreak layup
to leave Cal trailing 76-71 with 1:16
left. Jones was fouled and made both
free throws before Gutierrez missed a
3-pointer.

Jones and Crabbe combined to

teams, with Crabbe’s 3-pointer tying
the game before the Bruins narrowly
avoided overtime.
Both teams struggled at the start,
with each missing four of their first
six shots and combining for five
turnovers in the opening five minutes.
The Bruins built a 36-25 lead with
four minutes to play, only to let the
Bears get back into the game with a 9-

UCLA’s sixth of the half — and
Nelson stole the ball and dunked to
keep the Bruins ahead 41-35 at the

the ball out of danger or blocking
shots.
“One thing about my defense,
they’re collected and calm,” Tiziani
said.
That was never more evident in
the final 15 minutes of the game as
the Mustangs sent wave after wave
of attacks, led by Stephanie
Vaquerano and Ashley Meseda. The
Mustangs had four of their six sec-
ond-half corner kicks during that
time and each time the Mills
defense stood tall.
“Capuchino’s attackers are good,”
Tiziani said.
So good, in fact, Tiziani made a
conscious effort to key on
Vaquerano. While she had her
moments, the Mills defense never
allowed her the space to get clean
shots away.
Maybe it was the constant pres-
sure that wore on Vaquerano and
kept her from taking the penalty
kick. Medina said the key to penalty
points in the second quarter and
were just 1 for 7 from the line.
It was a common theme for the
Irish, as they hit on only 3 of 15 free
throws.
The third quarter was the most
exciting as the teams combined for
25 points. Notre Dame pushed its
lead to 27-17 with 2:53 left in the
third on a nice move in the post
kicks is having the confidence to do
so, and he was disappointed no one
other than his defensive stalwart
Navarro volunteered to take the spot
kick.
“You have five seniors out there
and none of the seniors wanted to
take the kick,” Medina said, adding
it would be a facet of the game he
begins addressing in practice.
“[Navarro] was the only one (who
wanted to take it).”
As much pressure as the
Mustangs put on the Mills defense
in the second half, it was the Vikings
who enjoyed dictating the tempo
and attack in the first half.
Given the rivalry nature of the
game, Medina believed Mills want-
ed it more in the first half.
“In the first half, they played with
a little more intensity. It switched
the other way in the second half,”
Medina said. “My girls just don’t
get up as high for them as they do
for us.”
That can be attributed to Tiziani,
who said she made it a point her
team knew exactly who it was play-
ing.
“I pump them up,” Tiziani said.
“Every high school has a rival and
from Morris, but the Irish finished
the quarter with a 6-3 run to trail 30-
23 heading into the final quarter.
In the fourth, it appeared nerves
might be getting to the Tigers as
they did not hit a field goal and
turned the ball over seven times.
Luckily for Notre Dame, Sacred
Heart wasn’t much better, hitting
only two field goals and coughing
up the ball six times.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
it’s exciting to play a rival.”
Perhaps it was that little extra
bounce in the Vikings’ step that con-
tributed to their first goal — that,
and a whole lot of Jazmin Cazares
magic. Mills earned a throw in
about 35 yards from the Capuchino
goal. Ciara Donlon threw the ball
into space and Cazares ran onto the
ball near the top of the Capuchino
penalty box. With a defender on her
back, Cazares trapped the ball,
turned, and had a half step of space.
She poked a shot on goal with the
outside of her right foot and bent the
ball just inside the far left post for
the game’s only goal in the 16th
minute.
Mills had a number of other qual-
ity scoring chances, but could not
convert them.
Capuchino’s best first-half scor-
ing chance came in the 25th minute
when Allyn Benintendi, who was
unmarked in the middle of the Mills
penalty box, received a pass and had
a clear shot at goal. She took too
long to get a shot off, however, and
by the time she kicked the ball, the
Mills defense closed the distance
and blocked it.
The Tigers maintained their lead
at the free throw line, however. All
seven of their fourth-quarter points
were scored from the line as they
went 7 for 12 in the quarter and
were 14 for 23 from the line for the
game.
“For 32 minutes, this is as well as
we have played on both ends of the
court,” Davenport said.

collection consists of more than 300 items,
ranging from orchestrions, coin operated
pianos, antique slot machines, pinball
machines and animations, down to small
bird boxes. Many exhibits are over 100 years
old. Several well-known attractions include
“Susie the Can-Can Dancer,” the “Carnival”

includes a small video-game arcade with
games of more recent vintage.
The collection was created by Edward

operates and maintains the collection. Prior
to 2002, Musée Mécanique was housed in
the lower level of the Cliff House restaurant
at Ocean Beach and at that time the entire
collection was in storage without the possi-

Initiates,” featuring 25 diptychs by the
Belgian photographer Jean-Dominique
Burton, who pairs black-and-white portraits
with color photographs for a sensitive por-
trayal of Vodoun practitioners and their
sacred shrines.
Burton’s images provide a glimpse into
the esoteric domain of this traditional Fon

Vodun, Vaudou or Vaudoux. The artworks
depict Burton’s journey to seek out the great
Vodounons (initiates) of the religion as prac-

rent-day Republic of Benin. Burton’s work
was also captured in a documentary video,
which plays alongside the artworks in this
exhibition. VOODOO, the Origins, directed
by Samuel Lampaert, features interviews
with the Vodoun initiates who collaborated
with the photographer.

Alcohol industry grapples with nutrition labeling
By Michelle Locke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Pick up just about
any beverage on store shelves and on the
back of the packaging you’ll find a numeri-
cal rundown of calories, carbs, etc.
Unless, that is, the beverage is alcohol.
Some folks want to change that.
“In the year 2011, it’s sort of bizarre that
alcohol’s the only consumable product sold
in the United States that you can’t tell
what’s inside the bottle,” says Guy L. Smith,
executive vice president in North America
for Diageo, the world’s leading distilled
spirits, beer and wine company.
Diageo is supporting a proposal presently
before the federal Tax and Trade Bureau —
the agency with authority over alcohol
labels — to list nutrition information such as
calories, carbohydrates, serving size and
alcohol per serving.
But not everyone in the industry is as
enthusiastic.
At the Beer Institute, a trade association
based in Washington, D.C., officials support
listing calories, carbs, protein and fat con-
tent, as well as alcohol by volume. But they
oppose the idea of defining serving size by
fluid ounces of pure alcohol, or as 12 ounces
of beer, 5 ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of
80-proof liquor, on the grounds that you
may get more than 1.5 ounces of liquor in a
cocktail depending on what else is in the
drink and the accuracy of the bartender.
But Smith says consumers know when
they’re getting a large martini. The point is,
he says, to give them a point of reference so
they can generally know what to expect.
At the San Francisco-based Wine
Institute, officials are asking that the label-
ing requirements be on a voluntary basis
only. (Diageo also supports voluntary com-
pliance.)
Wal-Mart to make,
sell healthier foods
By Mary Clare Jalonick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Wal-Mart, the nation’s
largest grocer, says it will reformulate thou-
sands of products to make them healthier and
push its suppliers to do the same, joining first
lady Michelle Obama’s effort to combat
childhood obesity.
The first lady accompanied Wal-Mart
executives Thursday as they announced the
effort in Washington. The company plans to
reduce sodium and added sugars in some
items, build stores in poor areas that don’t
already have grocery stores, reduce prices on
produce and develop a logo for healthier
items.
“No family should have to choose between
food that is healthier for them and food they
can afford,” said Bill Simon, president and
CEO of Wal-Mart’s U.S. division.
As the largest grocer in the United States,
Wal-Mart’s size gives it unique power to
shape what people eat.
The grocery business is nearly twice the
size of No. 2 competitor Kroger. The compa-
ny also has massive influence on products
made by other manufacturers and sold at the
store.
Mrs. Obama said the announcement has
“the potential to transform the marketplace
and help Americans put healthier foods on
their tables every single day.”
“We are really gaining some momentum
on this issue, we’re beginning to see things
move,” she said.
The nation’s largest retailer plans to reduce
sodium by a quarter and cut added sugars in
some of its private label products by 2015. It
also plans to remove remaining industrially
produced trans fats. The foods Wal-Mart
will concentrate on our products like lunch
meats, fruit juices and salad dressings, items
that contain high levels of sugar or sodium
WEEKEND JOURNAL
Diageo is supporting a proposal presently before the federal Tax and Trade Bureau — the
agency with authority over alcohol labels — to list nutrition information such as calories,car-
bohydrates,serving size and alcohol per serving.
If labeling is made mandatory, then the
Wine Institute is asking for accommoda-
tions, such as being allowed to generalize
the calorie and carb counts on wine, rather
than needing to have each vintage of each
variety analyzed. Additionally, they want the
option of choosing the style of label, per-
that consumers don’t know they’re ingest-
ing..
A number of food makers have made sim-
ilar moves, lowering sodium in their products
based on shopper demand and increasing
scrutiny by health groups. Bumble Bee
Foods, General Mills Inc., Campbell Soup
Co., PepsiCo Inc. and Kraft Foods Inc. all
announced sodium reductions to their prod-
ucts last year.
During the press conference Wednesday,
Andrea Thomas, Wal-Mart’s senior vice
president of sustainability acknowledged
those industry efforts but said,“Our goal is
not to supplant these efforts, but to encour-
age their widespread adoption. We see our
role as a convener and a catalyst. ”
Food makers say they are trying to reduce
sodium gradually, making it a more palatable
change to its customers and giving the indus-
try time to reformulate products. Most said
they support efforts to curb sodium in
American’s diets but are waiting to see if the
Food and Drug Administration decides to
mandate a reduction.
Wal-Mart said it would reduce prices on
fruits and vegetables by $1 billion a year by
attempting to cut unnecessary costs from the
supply chain. The company also said it
would work to reduce price premiums on
healthier items made with more expensive
ingredients.
“Our customers often ask us why whole
wheat pasta sometimes costs more than regu-
lar pasta made by the same manufacturer,”
said Thomas.
Mrs. Obama has a history of working with
Wal-Mart. She once served on the board of
Westchester, Ill.-based TreeHouse Foods
Inc., a food supplier for the store, but
resigned in 2007 while her husband was
campaigning for the presidency. Barack
Obama had criticized the store over wages
and benefits it pays employees.
haps putting the information on a thin strip-
style label rather than the more traditional

on other foods and drinks.
“There shouldn’t be a significant cost

It’s unclear when federal officials might
rule. Agency spokesman Tom Hogue said
the Tax and Trade Bureau is working on the
issue, but it’s a complicated one that doesn’t
lend itself to a quick solution.
The current push for nutrition information
was started in late 2003 by a coalition of
consumer and public health advocates.
Diageo announced its support for the move
at the time and last December issued a state-
ment calling on officials to rule.
The Distilled Spirits Council, based in
Washington, also supports putting serving
information on bottles.
Current labeling law is complicated.
Wine, beer and liquor manufacturers don’t
have to list ingredients — and the nutrition-
al labeling proposals being considered don’t
require them to start doing that. However,
they must list substances people might be
sensitive to, such as sulfites, FD&C Yellow
No. 5 and aspartame.
Wines containing 14 percent or more alco-
hol by volume must list alcohol content.
Wines that are 7 percent to 14 percent alco-
hol by volume may list alcohol content or
put “light” or “table” wine on the label.
(Most wines in that category, however, do
list alcohol by volume.)
“Light” beers must list calorie and carbo-
hydrate content only. Liquor must list alco-
hol content by volume and may also list
proof.
Food activist Marion Nestle, who
researched the laws while writing about
calories, was stunned by their piecemeal
nature. She doesn’t see the point of listing
protein, fat and carb content of alcohol,
since it contains none or little of those, but
would like to see labels that list the amount
of alcohol, number of calories, number of
servings in the bottle and ingredients.
“Alcohol has calories and calories are an
enormous issue,” she says.

night, drunk-driving crash in 1956. The film
itself feels a bit like a by-the-numbers biopic,
but Harris’ raging, Oscar-nominated perform-
ance is always fascinating to watch. He hovers
over a large canvas on the floor, dripping and
slapping paint with the flourish of an orches-
tra conductor, an ever-present cigarette dan-
gling from his lips. He makes Pollock’s tor-
ment visceral, but also provides the thrill of
witnessing a legend in the making.
with the group about halfway through — even
though they’re divided over whether to allow
her to join them. Not only is she spirited and
friendly, which helps draw out some of their
back stories, but she also has handy-dandy
items like soap, which they desperately need.
Ronan’s scenes with Harris, in which they
develop a sort of father-daughter relationship,
are some of the most satisfying; despite the
seemingly insurmountable conditions, she
maintains an almost ethereal quality, in stark
contrast to his pragmatism.
“The Right Stuff” (1983):
Philip Kaufman’s epic about America’s
first steps into space, based on Tom Wolfe’s
best-selling book, earned four Academy
Awards and grippingly strips down the
mythology of heroism. But in a film full of
strong performances and detailed figures,
including playwright Sam Shepard as
Chuck Yeager, a then little-known Harris is
perfectly cast as John Glenn, the Marine
and former United States senator who in
1962 piloted the first U.S. manned orbital
mission around the Earth. “I just thank God
I live in a country where the best and the
finest in a man can be brought out,” says the
earnest Glenn, who becomes Mercury mis-

It’s an eccentric twist on the emotionally
distant father type, and though the liberal
sprinkling of Shakespeare quotes often

sion’s unofficial leader and spokesman.
“Apollo 13” (1995):
Another film about space exploration
earned Harris the first of his four Oscar nomi-
nations. Director Ron Howard painstakingly
recreated the doomed 1970 Apollo moon mis-
sion, which nearly left three astronauts strand-
ed in space when an oxygen tank exploded. As
Gene Kranz, the key figure at Mission Control
in Houston, Harris oversees the chaos — the
swarm of engineers, technicians and scien-
tists. He’s intense and passionate, but he also
must try to keep enough of a cool head to
wrangle everyone’s talents and expertise to
bring these three men back to Earth. His per-
formance is riveting and full of surprises.
Brown makes it work.
“The Weird Sisters” is written in first-per-
son plural, the sisters speaking as a single
voice, and it is equal parts clever and heart-
felt. As a discourse on sibling dynamics, the
book very much succeeds. While each sis-
ter’s story of self-improvement is fairly pre-
dictable (again echoing Shakespeare: all’s
well that ends well), Brown nails the senti-
ment conveyed by the book’s tag line: “We
love each other. We just don’t happen to like
each other very much.”
THE DAILY JOURNAL
COUNTY
Continued from page 1
logically, I think they’ll understand what
we’re doing.”
The bottom line, Groom said, is that the
county simply rents way too much space as
opposed to owning.
The county currently pays between
$191,000 and $600,000 a month for its vari-
ous leases, said Steve Alms, manager of the
county’s real property services division.
The largest are for the Health and Human
Services division in Belmont and San Mateo
which is a primary candidate for transfer to
the San Carlos buildings.
The funds — $39.95 million for the pur-
chase plus $700,000 in other fees and plan-
ning expenses — will come from non-depart-
mental reserves.
“Due to some pretty prudent management,
we have the reserves to acquire the property
during an unprecedented market in the last 50
years. This is a real opportunity to reduce the
overall facility costs for the county ... and
make a significant impact on the projected
structural deficit,” Alms said
The county anticipates being reimbursed in
the future through a bond, said Alms.
The county is similarly anticipating a bond
to cover the jail expenses.
The parcels at One and Two Circle Star Way
include two four-story office buildings on
approximately 6.04 acres of land. The build-
ings consist of approximately 208,000 square
feet and there is also a three-story, 400-space
parking garage adjacent. The site sits on the
border between San Carlos and Redwood
City, less than a mile from the county govern-
ment center and roughly one mile from the
Redwood City Caltrain Station.
The county’s desire to purchase the proper-
ty to house its divisions is two-fold: first, to
save money on rent and, second, to re-locate
non-court functions from the Hall of Justice
currently known as 400 County Government
Center. The eight-story building, which con-
nects to the Maguire Correctional Facility
across the street, currently houses the Board
of Supervisors Chambers, the Sheriff’s Office,
District Attorney’s Office and offices for the
supervisors and county manager. However, 52
percent of the functions belong to the court

enue source, such as a regional gas tax, to
keep Caltrain afloat. Kishimoto envisions the
Metropolitan Transportation Commission
helping to coordinate a regional fee or tax. It
could be a sales tax, parcel tax or payroll tax,
Kishimoto said.
But it’s not just about raising additional rev-
enue, it’s about lowering cost and increasing
ridership, Kishimoto said.
“Unfortunately, we can’t write Caltrain a
check for $30 million,” she said.
Kishimoto wants to help Caltrain get
through its short-term crisis while taking a
longer view at the region’s transportation
needs.
Caltrain welcomes the support.
“We have been fighting for years to save
Caltrain in the face of increasingly difficult
budgetary challenges,” said Caltrain
spokesman Mark Simon. “We are excited at
the prospect of that fight being joined by com-
munity stakeholders who recognize the criti-
cal need for the Peninsula commuter rail sys-
tem to survive, grow and thrive.”
Caltrain actually realizes 43 percent of its
income from the farebox, a respectable figure
second only to BART regionally. Despite
good farebox support, the Peninsula Corridor
Joint Powers Board, which owns and operates
Caltrain, will declare a fiscal emergency early
this year.
“We are doing as well as we can do from the
farebox,” said San Francisco Supervisor Sean
Elsbernd, who also chairs the JPB. “It might
be time for the electorate to take an action on
a fee.”
Caltrain will not be able to survive without
a dedicated funding stream, Elsbernd said.
He also touts the benefit of electrification
with Caltrain’s partnership with the California
WEKEEND JOURNAL
system, including the majority of the county’s
courtrooms.
The shared use proved a challenge after the
Trial Court Facilities Act of 2002 mandated
all 450 courthouse facilities statewide be
moved by June 30, 2007. The transitions
throughout California were slow with most
not making the deadline; San Mateo County
didn’t finalize its transfer of buildings in
Redwood City and South San Francisco until
2008.
As part of its agreement, the county main-
tains partial ownership of the building and
manages the common areas. But as the court
system moves to bring more courtrooms, traf-
fic court and the law library under one roof,
the county functions will be edged out.
The plan is to free up space in the govern-
ment center’s other buildings, like 455 across
the courtyard, by moving them to the San
Carlos campus. The supervisor offices, for
example, can then be relocated to 455.
The domino effect hasn’t happened yet
because 455 needs seismic work and a deci-
sion hasn’t yet been made whether to retrofit
or tear it down and start over, Alms said.
In preparation for an eventual move, the
county spent approximately $1 million two
years ago for the First American Title
Insurance Co. building on Marshall Street in
Redwood City.
The building is vacant while the county also
figures out whether to demolish it, too, Alms
said.
The Board of Supervisors meets 9 a.m.
Tuesday, Jan. 25 in Board Chambers, 400
County Government Center, Redwood City.
High-Speed Rail Authority.
“It needs both,” Elsbernd said. “It ensures
electrification on the line and a dramatic drop
in expenses.”
Imagine what Highway 101 would look like
without Caltrain, he said.
With a push for building high-density tran-
sit-oriented developments along the corridor,
growth in property tax revenue could be dedi-
cated to Caltrain, Elsbernd said.
“We have to explore all kinds of ideas,” he
said.
While Kishimoto supports the electrifica-
tion and modernization of Caltrain, she said
the rail service must be saved with or without
high-speed rail.
SamTrans is expected to reduce its annual
contribution to Caltrain to approximately $4.7
million for the next budget cycle, down from
nearly $10 million last year. Both SamTrans
and San Francisco MUNI are struggling and
have consistently been forced to reduce its
contributions to Caltrain in recent years due to
their own budget shortfalls. While Santa Clara
County’s Valley Transportation Agency has
not suffered to the same degree, it is reducing
its contribution as well, otherwise it would be
subsidizing Caltrain service in San Francisco
and San Mateo counties.
While revenue continues to dwindle,
Friends of Caltrain aims to advocate for its
long-term viability. The grassroots group
plans to hold a summit on the issue Jan. 29 at
Caltrain headquarters in San Carlos.
Following the summit, the group intends to
pursue strategies that will provide a perma-
nent and dedicated funding source for
Caltrain, Kishimoto said.
Today’s Silicon Valley Leadership Group
summit, from 9 a.m. to noon, will feature
elected officials, transportation experts and
business leaders from throughout the region.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

San Bruno City Council

February 8, 2011

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of San Bruno, California
(the “City”) at its regular meeting on, Tuesday, February 8, 2011, starting at 7:00p.m., at the Se-
nior Center located at 1555 Crystal Springs Road, in San Bruno, will hold a public hearing, con-
sider waiving the second reading, and adopt the fire and building codes by reference with local
amendments.

The State of California promulgates building standards (the California Building Stand-
ards Code, Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations) which automatically become effective
on a certain date in all jurisdiction except to the extent local agencies make amendments which Over the Hedge Over the Hedge Over the Hedge
are more stringent than state standards and are reasonably necessary because of local climac-
tic, geological or topographical conditions. The newest cycle of building codes became effective
on January 1, 2011. The City Council will consider adopting these new codes with local amend-
ments at the February 8, 2011 meetings. The public hearing will also be on February 8, 2011.

Codes of the state building codes will be considered for adoption by reference with lo-
cal amendments: the 2010 Administrative and Reference Standards (SBMC Ch. 11.02); the 2010
Building Code, 2010 California Historical Code, the 2010 California Existing Building Code, 2010
Residential Building Code, 2010 Green Building Standards & 2009 International Building Code
(SBMC Ch. 11.04); the 2010 Energy Code (SBMC Ch. 11.06); the 2010 Mechanical Code
(SBMC Ch.11.08); the 2010 Electrical Code (SBMC Ch. 11.16); the 2010 Plumbing Code (SBMC
Ch. 11.20); and the 2010 Fire Code (SBMC Ch. 11.24).

In summary, the material amendments to the city’s collective fire and building codes
are as follows. The proposed local amendments specify the sound installation requirements in
certain areas of the City, outline the building permit appeal process, clarifies that violation of
these codes constitutes a misdemeanor crime and that fines and other fees are set by resolution 203 Public Notices 203 Public Notices 203 Public Notices

HEALTH
Continued from page 1
are already lengthy. The uninsured typically
go to the emergency room only when they are
very sick, increasing the waits and at a great
cost.”
About 15 primary care physicians and
another 15 specialists conduct 4,000 patient
visits per year with the help of dentists, nurs-
es, third-year medical students and residents,
interpreters, receptionists and other volun-
teers. The presence of specialists sets the clin-
ic apart from others in the country, most of
which offer only basic care. At the San Mateo
facility, patients have access to dentistry, der-
matology, gynecology, ophthalmology, ortho-
pedics, podiatry and a breast clinic, among
other services. The county has separate health
care programs for children, but the dentists at
the clinic do offer dental care to children
through a grant from Project Smile.
The clinic is largely funded by donations
and grants. The biggest expense is prescrip-
tion medication, followed by malpractice
insurance, which the clinic provides for all
volunteer physicians. Mills-Peninsula Health
Services provides lab tests and X-ray services,
retiring physicians often donate medical and
dental equipment, and pharmaceutical compa-
nies donate medication. The clinic has a com-
puter system that connects to Mills-Peninsula,
facilitating the transfer of patient information.
Kaiser frequently offers equipment when it
upgrades. Even the paint on the walls was
donated by Kelly Moore.
Samaritan House volunteer Dr. Mary Twieg, right, gives Irene Orue, center, an exam, while
volunteer interpreter Maria Brown assists.
Many of the doctors are retired from private
practice and looking to give back to their local
communities in a way that allows them to
practice medicine without having to contend
with the bureaucracy and paperwork that
MICHAEL COSTA/DAILY JOURNAL
accompany a typical medical practice.
Treating patients consistently instead of in an
emergency also allows doctors to build rela-
tionships with the people they see, instead of
starting from square one the way emergency
Dr. Pravi Kunakemakorn, a retired gynecol-
ogist, has been volunteering at the clinic for
five years, commuting down to San Mateo
from San Francisco to offer his services.
“You don’t worry about money. It’s relaxed.
It’s how being a doctor should be,” said Dr. K,
as he prefers to be called.
Dr. Jonathan Squire, a retired internist who
volunteers at the clinic every two weeks,
agrees.
“The clinic gives me an opportunity to use
skills I’ve learned over 40 years in a way that
is worthwhile for me and hopefully for the
patients as well,” he said.
The poor economy and high unemployment
rates have altered the population seeking care
at the clinic. Many have recently lost their
jobs, and, consequently, their health benefits.
The number of medical patient visits at the
San Mateo and Redwood City clinics has
risen 11 percent in the two years from FY07-
08 through FY09-10.
For patients like Deirdra Purins, the clinic is
more than worthwhile. A former personal
trainer and wellness coordinator, she lost her
job in October of last year.
“It’s been an absolute godsend,” she said.
“With the economy the way it is and my
unemployment and pre-existing condition,
affording insurance is out of the question.
Services like this are a godsend.”

interest — the Mid-Peninsula Boys and Girls
Club and Rebuilding Together. Before major
work can be done, Fundraising Chair Denis
Fama would like to create a task force to dis-
cuss the best options and make sure it includes
amenities children want.
“We need to hear what the kids are interest-
ed in. It’s not like if we build it they will
come,” Fama said.
The proposed Millbrae Community Youth
Center, known to most as the Scout House,
was built in 1954 for $16,000 through a large-
ly volunteer effort, labor and donated materi-
als. It sits on the school district property on
The school district, Lions Club and city
signed an agreement to raise funds for the ren-
ovation by Jan. 1, 2012. Once raised, the
money will be used to make repairs and
upgrades to restore the usefulness of the struc-
ture. The city will then take over the space as
a home for youth-focused activities.
At a joint meeting of the City Council and
school district Board of Trustees Thursday
morning, two new possible partnerships were
discussed.
Daniel Dadoun, executive director of the
Midpeninsula Boys and Girls Club, described
the location for a great opportunity to provide
a new clubhouse in Millbrae. Dadoun pointed
to a recent partnership with Daly City that
resulted in a larger than anticipated communi-
ty center which featured items like computers
because of private donations.
a project through Rebuilding Together, a
Redwood City nonprofit that partners with
businesses to rehabilitate community organi-
zation facilities or the homes of those in need.
Millbrae residents should know by February if
the Scout House is an accepted project.
Councilwoman Gina Papan spoke highly of
a possible partnership with the Boys and Girls
Club and noted how well the Daly City proj-
ect turned out.
Trustee Frank Barbaro seconded the idea.
“I’m totally impressed with their opera-
tion,” he said.
While those partnerships are unclear, com-
munity leader Randy Sahae was chosen to co-
coordinate project logistics and costs. An
open house will be held Jan. 25 and Jan. 26 to
allow contractors to come in, take measure-
ments and get back to the volunteers with
requested support from the city to work swift-
ly to figure out project permitting and needs.
City Manager Marcia Raines confirmed the
city’s commitment to work in conjunction
with the volunteers.

House visit www.mcyc.net. Those interested in
helping through volunteering or joining the
unnamed committee should contact Fama at

helping with project estimates should contact
