In a sport lauded for its artistry
and technical quality, many figure
skaters wear high-end equipment
made by distinguished craftspeople
such as Jason Kuhn at Harlick
Skating Boots in San Carlos.
When they get to that elite level,
they need the very best equipment and
so thats why they come to [Harlick
Skating Boots]. Its the way we can
lock their heel in place, or give them
that custom t and theyve spent so
many hours in their boots that it has
to be comfortable, Kuhn said.

Bernardo wants to

however, the president

theres a problem in

Instead, Bernardo

SOCHI, Russia ARussia in search
of global vindication kicked off the
Sochi Olympics looking more like a
Russia that likes to party, with a pulse-
raising opening ceremony about fun
and sports instead of terrorism, gay
rights and coddling despots.
And thats just the way Russian
President Vladimir Putin wants these
Winter Games to be.
The worlds premier athletes on ice
and snow have more to worry about
than geopolitics as they plunge into
the biggest challenges of their lives
on the mountain slopes of the
Caucasus and in the wet-paint-fresh
arenas on the shores of the Black Sea.
But watch out for those Russians on
their home turf. A raucous group of
Russian athletes had a message for
their nearly 3,000 rivals in Sochi,
marching through Fisht Stadium
singing that theyre not gonna get

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
At least 30 people in the Bay Area have
died from the flu this season and 202 are
confirmed to have died statewide, accord-
ing to figures released Friday by the state
Department of Public Health.
The number of flu deaths is expected to
climb because an additional 41 deaths
statewide remain under investigation and
have yet to be confirmed as flu related, Dr.
James Watt, chief of the communicable
disease control division at the public
health department, said Friday.
The 202 deaths reported include 10 in
Santa Clara County, five each in Alameda
and Contra Costa Counties, five in San
Mateo County, three in San Francisco,
two in Monterey and one each in Santa
Cruz and Solano counties.
The first flu death reported in the Bay
Area occurred in late December.
The predominant strain this season has
been the H1N1 or swine flu, and it is caus-
ing considerably more deaths than last
season. At this time last year only 18 flu-
related deaths had been reported and a total
of 106 were reported in the entire season
last year, according to state figures.
The statewide figures only include
deaths of persons under age 65, Watt said.
Four of this years deaths were children.
But with several weeks left in the cur-
rent flu season, the number of deaths
appears to be decreasing. Many of the
people who died had contracted the flu
early in the season, Watt said.
The public health department is still
recommending that all California resi-
dents get vaccinated and said there is no
shortage of available vaccine.
Anyone at risk who shows symptoms of
the flu including the elderly, pregnant
women, infants or people with existing
health conditions should see a doctor
immediately, health officials said.
Flu-related deaths in state now over 200
At least 30 people in the Bay Area have died so far this season

Laureola Park patrons frustrated by a
lack of space in the parking lot due to
nearby property owners and business
employees taking them up may receive a
reprieve in the form of new restrictions.
The San Carlos City Council Monday
night will consider a recommendation by
Parks and Recreation Director Christine
Boland to establish a three-hour parking
zone at the park between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m.
every day except Sundays and holidays.
City employees working at the park
have recently asked for the restrictions
and both park users and parents of
preschoolers there cant park in the city-
owned lot because other cars taking up the
spaces all day each weekday, Boland wrote
in a staff report to the City Council.
The lack of parking is causing undue
stress on parents attempting to retrieve
their children in a timely manner, Boland
wrote.
City staff got nearby property owners to
temporarily move business vehicles to
their own lots but the situation slipped
back because there wasnt enforcement.
Police have agreed to patrol the parking
limit at the park if it is established.
The current space shortage isnt the
first parking challenge at Laureola Park.
In October 2000, the City Council
restricted overnight parking after then-
chief Jim Granucci received numerous
complaints about vehicles being stored
in the lot.
If imposed, the new three-hour limit will
have a small financial cost for ongoing
maintenance but a small amount of revenue
will also come in from parking tickets.
The San Carlos City Council meets 7
p.m. Monday, Feb. 10 at City Hall, 600

When hes not on the job at the San Mateo
County Sheriffs Ofce, Correctional Ofcer
Patrick Lucy is looking out for youth in the
community.
Lucy, 50, has one new task, as a school
board member for the South San Francisco
Unied School District. He hopes to be able
to help those who need it the most at-risk
youth. Kids are my life, said Lucy, who
helps run the Alternative to Expulsion
Intervention Program. Ive been involved in
everything I can get my hands on.
Its not surprising then that when the Daily
Journal arrived to meet in a cafe to ask about
his new role, he was wrapping up a phone call
with a boy he saw grow up. The boy, now
struggling and getting into trouble, has been
promised that if he does graduate high school,
Lucy will be on the stage to present him with
his diploma. When Lucy heard about the
vacancy, left by Liza Normandy who recently
joined the South San Francisco City Council,
he knew he wanted to apply.
Ive basically always been active in the
school district and I wanted to keep the posi-
tive things going, he said. I want to be
more involved in the policy making. The
school district is a hidden gem that a lot of
people dont know about.
Lucy has two daughters, age 16 and 24, who
grew up in the city. His alternative to expul-
sion program gives students a chance to
reect, evaluate their decision-making skills,
learn about opportunities and return to school
through a ve-day program.
I want to continually work with at-risk
kids and give them a chance for success,
Lucy said. Im tired of seeing kids come to
my jail.
He said he would also like to work with par-
ent teacher associations to help get more par-
ents active in their childrens lives.
I want to get more parents involved, he
said. Theres a better chance of kids succeed-
ing that way. I want to
make sure all kids are rep-
resented GATE (Gifted
and Talented Education)
kids, special education
kids, those in music pro-
grams and others.
He would also like to get
community support for the
district from a company
like Genentech.
Lucy said one of his top
priorities is getting on board with the new
Common Core Standards. With the states
new curriculum, there is a shift to more proj-
ect-based and team collaborative learning.
Theres also more of an emphasis on students
using technology in classrooms. He is also
joining the board at a time with a new state
funding model Local Control Funding
Formula that comes with a Local Control
and Accountability Plan.
Its the way my generation was taught, he
said. Not teaching for the test. For a lot of
businesses now, you have to be more analyti-
cal than in the past.
Lucy began on the board Jan. 16 and will be
up for election this fall. He intends to run and
still has a lot to learn in a short period of
time, he said.
Im looking forward to understanding all
the nuances of the board, he said. Im com-
ing in at the right time; the whole board is
learning about the LCFF and LCAP.
Lucy grew up in South San Francisco and
went to Junipero Serra High School in San
Mateo. He married his high school sweetheart
and still attends his boyhood church St.
Veronica Catholic Church. He said he always
describes South San Francisco as big town
with a small-town attitude.
I want to keep that feeling and expand
upon it, he said.
He has high hopes for the city and district.
I think it will become like Burlingame in
the next few years, Lucy said. I want to be
part of that.

SACRAMENTO The California High-
Speed Rail Authority lowered its estimated
future revenue based on new ridership pro-
jections in a report released Friday that also
slightly lowered the projects $68 billion
price tag.
Despite legal setbacks, the agency is
leaving unchanged its timeline for complet-
ing the entire 520-mile system by 2028.
Rail authority ofcials have warned that the
protracted court battles over the bullet
trains nancing could cause serious delays,
but the updated business plan does not
reect that concern.
More robust analyses of population, traf-
c and other factors show the system will
have more riders taking shorter trips than
previously forecast, the rail authority report
said, bringing in revenue that is lower than
originally projected 5 percent lower in
2025 and 10 percent lower in 2040.
Nevertheless, the report says the system
will still be able to operate without a tax-
payer subsidy.
The shorter trips also will push opera-
tions and maintenance costs higher, the
report said.
The overall cost to build the train system
is now forecast to be $67.6 billion, down
from the $68.4 billion projected two years
ago.
The rail authority is required by law to
update its business plan every two years,
and the latest draft largely projects a rosy
picture for a project that has suffered repeat-
ed setbacks in recent months. After saying
construction would begin last summer, of-
cials now are projecting a spring start for
work in the Central Valley.

County hires first
natural resource manager
For the first time in its 90-year history,
San Mateo County has hired a natural
resource manager to help with its system of
parks, volunteers and affiliated agencies.
Ramona Arechiga comes to the county
after recently moving to the Bay Area from
Oregon where she received a masters
degree in forest resources from Oregon
State University and worked for nonprof-
its. She also worked in Ethiopia with the
Peace Corps coordinat-
ing multicultural teams
to implement public
planting programs in
Bale Mountains National
Park.
Arechigas new posi-
tion works within the
newly re-established
Parks Department which
includes 19 parks, three
regional trails and other
trails encompassing 16,183 acres.
The Redondo Beach native said she
dreamed of working in the coast range of
northern California as a forest ecologist
and resource manager.
The position of natural resource manag-
er ... provides an opportunity to realize
that dream, Arechiga said in a prepared
statement.
When not promoting the countys natu-
ral resources, Arechiga spends time with
her husband, dog and two cats.

LOS ANGELES Government in
drought-aficted California is trying to lead
by example and cut water use by the same
20 percent that residents have been asked
to save.
While the cuts are not mandatory, some
state agencies already have proposed meas-
ures that could save billions of gallons of
water this year.
The biggest savings would come from
landscaping.
The state Department of Transportation
says it can save half of the water it has been
using to irrigate 30,000 acres throughout
the state, principally highway vegetation.
That translates into 6 billion gallons a
year of water savings more than enough
to ll a swimming pool that is 10 feet deep,
one mile wide and two miles long.
Another way of looking at it: Those sav-
ings alone would be about as much water as
a city of 30,000 people uses in a year,
according to Caltrans spokeswoman Tamie
McGowen.
There is also a moratorium on new land-
scaping on state property and along state
roads, unless the project is deemed essen-
tial.
Elsewhere, changes are largely symbolic.
Decorative fountains at some state prop-
erties have been drained, including the rose
garden on the grounds of the state Capitol.
State vehicles, from re engines to cars,
will get washed only when it rains
unless a scrub down is needed for health or
safety reasons.
In some cases, youre talking about a
couple of buckets, said Brian Ferguson of
the Department of General Services, which
is coordinating the government efforts to
wean itself of water. Even so, he said, the
message should be clear: Business as usual
has to change.
Every drop helps in a state where ofcials
say 2013 was the driest calendar year on
record. Rains this week are nowhere near
enough to make up the decit.
When Gov. Jerry Brown declared a
drought on Jan. 17, he urged California
residents to cut back water use by 20 per-
cent. He also said state agencies would
cut back, though the declaration didnt
specify how much.
Under an existing executive order, state
agencies already were supposed to reduce
water use 10 percent by 2015. Now the
Department of General Services is counsel-
ing that the new goal be at least 20 per-
cent.
The reduction is not mandatory partly
because some water use cannot be reduced
without long-term consequences, said
Ferguson, citing as an example bushes in
highway medians that help reduce the
severity of accidents.

Daniel Dan Joseph Long
March 30, 1922 January 04, 2014
Longtime resident of Burlingame, CA, died from pneumonia
at Kaiser, Redwood City, CA, one week after a bad fall.
Born in Bristol, England, to Irish parents, Daniel Long
and Nora Hennessey, Daniel spent his early years in County
Cork, Ireland. At the age of six, the family immigrated to
the U.S. on the famous ship, the Berengaria from Liverpool,
England, and arrived in New York City in 1928.
Daniel grew up in New York City attending school at St.
Josephs Parish near 125th Street in an enclave of Irish and
Italian immigrants. He and his schoolmates played roller
skate hockey in the street and for football, they kicked a
Campbells soup can. St. Josephs supplied real baseball equipment for the boys to use. Daniel
developed a lifelong love of baseball then, as well as his fondness for the New York Yankees.
Growing up in NYC, Daniel also discovered his love for live theater and musical performances.
His favorite Broadway play was The King and I. Daniel also loved the movies, especially back
when the theaters had live orchestras to accompany the movie.
Daniel served in the U. S. Army from July 1943 to February 1946 when he was honorably
discharged as a Technical Sergeant. For his valor in WWII, Daniel received the Bronze Star,
Good Conduct Metal, WWII Victory Medal, Asiatic-Pacic Campaign Medal w/ 2 Bronze Service
Stars and 1 Bronze Arrowhead, and the Philippine Liberation Ribbon w/ 1 Bronze Service Star.
After his military service, Daniel worked in Manhattan and soon found his calling in
Advertising. When working for Advertising Age in 1957, he met then Senator John F. Kennedy
at a trade business meeting in Boston, MA and later received a personal letter of thanks from
the Senator.
Daniel went on to specialize in representing newspapers in selling their advertising space
to major national advertisers which required him to travel regularly to every major U.S. city.
In 1952, Daniel married Lula Confer of Louisiana, whom he met in Manhattan. The couple had
a son in 1961.
In 1966, the family moved to Honolulu where Daniel continued his advertising career and
then later relocated to San Francisco, CA. In 1981, Daniel opened his own national advertising
representative rm, Long & Associates, in Burlingame, CA, and successfully operated until
2001 when he retired.
Daniel is preceded by his wife, Lula, in 1994, and his son, Daniel Danny Patrick Long, in
April, 2013.
Daniel will be remembered by his dear friends for his generous nature, kindness and caring
for others, his great sense of humor which he never lost, and, especially for that Irish twinkle
in his beautiful blue eyes.
Daniel was a generous contributor to many charities, including Father Flanagans Boys
Town, Peninsula Humane Society, Save Tibet, Godfathers Club (St. Vincents School for Boys),
and the Sierra Club. If you would like, please make a donation in Daniels name to one of these
organizations in lieu of owers. A Funeral Mass will be held on February 11 at 10:30am at Our
Lady of Angels Catholic Parish, 1721 Hillside Dr., Burlingame, CA

Reports: NSA gets under 30 percent of phone data
WASHINGTON The National Security Agency collects
less than 30 percent of calling data from Americans despite
the agencys massive daily efforts to sweep up the bulk of
U.S. phone records, two U.S. newspapers reported Friday.
Citing anonymous ofcials and sources, The Washington
Post and The Wall Street Journal both said the NSAs phone
data collection has had a steep drop-off since 2006.
According to the newspapers, the government has been
unable to keep pace since then with a national surge in cell-
phone usage and dwindling landline use by American con-
sumers.
The Post said the NSAtakes in less than 30 percent of all
call data; the Journal said it is about or less than 20 percent.
In either case, the gures are far below the amount of phone
data collected in 2006, when the government extracted near-
ly all of U.S. calling records, both newspapers reported.
NSA ofcials intend to press for court authorization to
broaden their coverage of cellphone providers to return the
government to near-total coverage of Americans calling
data, the newspapers said.
The lowered estimates for the sweep of government sur-
veillance would be signicant because federal judges, mem-
bers of government task forces and media accounts based on
documents provided by NSAleaker Edward Snowden have all
described the NSAs bulk metadata collection as sweeping in
millions of records from American phone users.
Weather weary nation
asks why such a nasty winter
WASHINGTON Cold and snow keep battering the
Midwest and East, and even Atlanta was temporarily para-
lyzed. California has been bone dry. Alaska set heat
records.
The wild winter somehow became even more wicked
Thursday morning when the national average temperature
plunged to a brutal 11 degrees the lowest temperature of a
season of extremes
Aweather weary nation asks a simple question: Why?
The answer is the jet stream, the river of air that dictates
our weather. Normally the jet stream stays in Canada or the
northern U.S., going west to east in a somewhat straight
line. But this winter it has plunged south, creating high
pressure ridges and low pressure troughs and taking cold
polar air south and east and leaving warm, dry weather to the
west.
We are having an unusual jet stream thats giving us
crazy cold weather in the East and the ridiculously resilient
ridge as its called in California, said Weather Underground
meteorology director Jeff Masters.
Bottle released by Mass. scientist in 1956 found
BOSTON It was April 1956, and the No. 1 song was
Elvis Presleys Heartbreak Hotel. At the Woods Hole
Oceanographic Institution on Cape Cod, scientist Dean
Bumpus was busy releasing glass bottles in a large stretch
of the Atlantic Ocean.
Nearly 58 years later, a biologist studying grey seals off
Nova Scotia found one of the bottles in a pile of debris on a
beach, 300 miles from where it was released.
It was almost like nding treasure in a way, Warren
Joyce said Friday.
Around the nation
By Nedra Pickler
EAST LANSING, Mich. President
Barack Obama on Friday signed into
law an agriculture spending bill that
will spread benets to farmers in every
region of the country, while trimming
the food stamp program that inspired a
two-year battle over the legislation.
As he penned his name on the ve
year measure at Michigan State
University, Obama said the wide-rang-
ing bill multitasks by helping boost
jobs, innovation, research and conser-
vation. Its like a Swiss Army knife,
he joked.
But not everyone is happy with the
legislation and Obama acknowledged
its passage was a very challenging
piece of business.
The bill expands federal crop insur-
ance and ends direct government pay-
ments that go to farmers whether they
produce anything or not. But the bulk
of its nearly $100 billion per year cost
is for the food stamp program that aids
1 in 7 Americans.
The bill nally passed with support
from Democratic and Republican law-
makers from farming states, but the
bipartisan spirit didnt extend to the
signing ceremony where Obama was
anked by farm equipment, hay bales
and Democratic lawmakers. White
House press secretary Jay Carney said
several Republicans were invited, but
all declined to attend.
Obama signs farm bill
that trims food stamps
By Julie Pace
WASHINGTON Facing a rapidly
approaching deadline, the White
House and its allies are racing to
enroll young people in new insur-
ance plans offered under President
Barack Obamas signature health care
law, a sweeping effort that under-
scores how crucial the so-called
young invincibles are to the mea-
sures success.
An army of workers and volunteers
is targeting people between the ages
of 18 and 34 on college campuses, in
bars, and even in laundromats. The
recruiting effort is based in part on
lessons learned from Obamas presi-
dential races, which revolutionized
the way campaigns tracked voters.
On the campaign, you want to be
able to find an Obama voter, and you
want to get them to vote, said Matt
Saniie, who worked on the 2012
campaigns data team and is now ana-
lytics director at the organization
Enroll America. In the enrollment
world, you want to find someone who
is uninsured, and you want to get
them to enroll.
More than any other group, partic-
ipation from the young invincibles
will be crucial to the laws success.
Young people tend to be healthier,
and the Kaiser Family Foundation
estimates that they need to make up
about 40 percent of enrollment in the
new health program to balance out
the higher costs of insuring older,
sicker people.
David Bransfield is among those
trying to track down the young and
uninsured. Armed with an Apple lap-
top and a pile of fliers, Bransfield
sets up a table nearly every day in the
lobby of a University of the District
of Columbia classroom building.
Do you guys have health insur-
ance? Bransfield asks each time a
group of college students passes by.
Some nod yes. A few promise to
stop back after class. Others dont
bother removing their headphones.

OPINION 9
An unorthodox thinking process
Editor,
I normally welcome and read other
peoples opinions, no matter how dif-
ferent they may be from my own, as
an opportunity to learn, reect on my
own prejudices and background and
examine why they are different, if
they are different indeed.
However, I nd very hard to under-
stand the conclusions Mr. Frank
Scafanis letter, Philip Seymour
Hoffman (in the Feb. 7 edition of the
Daily Journal) arrives at, blaming the
tragic and premature death of this tal-
ented and versatile actor on outside
factors like the Afghan poppy elds
and U.S. Army supervision or lack of.
Not once does he mention anything
about personal choices and responsi-
bility to ones own self-preservation.
So I will give thoughtful considera-
tion to his conclusions and try to nd
some validity to such an unorthodox
thinking process.

A conversation about soul food
Editor,
I just saw the news of the contro-
versy at Carondelet High School cre-
ated by a menu of fried chicken, corn-
bread and watermelon supplied to cel-
ebrate black history month.
I have eaten fried chicken or ribs
with cornbread and cobbler many
times at my favorite soul food restau-
rants in the Bay Area, which are typi-
cally owned by African-Americans.
Its one of my favorite meals.
This is the rst time Ive ever heard
the menu might be considered offen-
sive. Also, the news taught me a little
about the origins of soul food. So,
it seems to me that the school did a
good thing; it created a conversation
about a previously innocuous (and
largely unknown) issue, allowing us
to learn more about black history as
it related to food.

Letters to the editor
Khaleej Times, Dubai
W
hen the curtain nally fell
on the life of Philip
Seymour Hoffman, the
American actor whose talent outshone
his sleepy looks, tousled hair and
rumpled clothes, it was a matter of
sorrow but not surprise.
The Academy Award winner had said
as far back as in 2006 that he had
gone to rehab when he was just 22,
after persistent drug and alcohol abuse
as a college student. In that candid
interview, Hoffman, then 38, had
admitted that he used to abuse any-
thing he could get his hands on, lik-
ing it all.
So on Sunday when he was found
dead in the bathroom of his
Manhattan apartment and investiga-
tors discovered 70 caches of heroin as
well as prescription drugs, the conclu-
sion was inevitable that he had died of
a drug overdose.
Hoffman was known for his stellar
performance in lms like Capote,
which won him the Oscar for best
actor, Charlie Wilsons War, and
Before the Devil Knows Youre Dead.
With his death, the 46-year-old joins
the list of stars like Heath Ledger,
Amy Winehouse and Michael Jackson
whose personal demons proved
stronger than all the fame, riches and
adulation they had attained.
Hoffmans exit once again triggers
the wonder that all such deaths do.
What drives men and women, who
have everything the average man and
woman would die to possess, to self-
destruction? Some, when they chase
the slippery and ercely competitive
path to showbiz success, seek help in
substance abuse for courage, stamina,
wish fulllment, or whatever it is that
they search for in the early stages of
their career. Some do it in a spirit of
adventurous experimentation, some
because it is regarded as an essential
prop for the artistic and performers,
from painters to athletes. However
once embraced, drugs and alcohol
become an indispensable need and few
have the will power or ability to let
go of them. And the result is
inevitably tragedy, a colossal waste
of talent and life.
Hoffmans death comes a month
after the state of Colorado legalized
the sale of cannabis for recreational
use. Though there are restrictions on
the sale the buyer has to be 21 or
above and the drug cant be consumed
in public there are reservations
about the state move. Critics are
apprehensive that the drug, freely
available, will cause psychiatric
problems, especially among the
young. The persistent spate of
Hoffmans requires greater soul-search-
ing by a society that despite being
the largest economy in the world
seems to carry an enormous burden of
trauma, need and frustration.
The lesson of Philip Seymour Hoffman
View from The Lariat
H
igh atop the corner of El Camino Real and Harbor
Boulevard in Belmont, the neon sign for The
Lariat Tavern has, for more than 60 years, wel-
comed weary and thirsty travelers from across the county
and around the world.
Now a sports bar with multiple big screen TVs, The
Lariat draws both nightly regulars and cheering crowds for
major sporting events. Its the sort of place one can nd
mix of working and middle class folks, from all ethnici-
ties and backgrounds.
Not frequented by elite techies
or high-wealth hipsters, The
Lariats patrons are willing to
give unvarnished opinions
about the world, politicians,
local sports teams or just about
anything else. Thats why Ive
spent some time talking with
them about whats on their
minds during this election year.
From The Lariats customers
point of view, its still a rough
and rocky time. While unem-
ployment in San Mateo County
is low and incomes are up, the rising tide has yet to lift all
boats. They see Silicon Valley engineers and coders mak-
ing bigger and bigger bucks, but that increase in wealth
has yet to extend to everyone.
As Dennis, 51, a cook, puts it, Rents are too damn
high, and theyre going higher. Hes concerned about
how working people can afford to stay in the area, particu-
larly since extended unemployment benets are ending.
Adding to his angst is the high cost of Obamacare coupled
with high deductibles. For him, $95 a month is a huge hit
and, with the high deductibles, hell barely be able to
afford the mandated insurance. Hes thinking about just
paying the ne and going without.
Elaine, 35, a home health care entrepreneur, echoes the
concerns over the cost of Obamacare. She sees that her
clients are paying signicantly more for health insurance
and that their co-pays are increasing as well. How is that
affordable? she said, adding, I dont see the benet.
Another patron, Kavita, 43, who works in mergers and
acquisitions, also brings up Obamacare implementation
issues. She knows people who have signed up for Covered
California plans yet were denied treatment by a local hos-
pital, which claimed there was no record of their coverage.
Some people take a longer view. John, 45, a bartender,
is concerned about the fate of Social Security. He asks,
Will we even have it? Wont it run out by the time I
retire? His brash manner belies real concern over how
long he may be required to work, especially since saving
is difcult for him, as he must care for his aging mother.
Nate, 35, works in nancial services and is a musician.
His work experiences point toward concerns over the state
of education. Hes worried that high school graduates have
not learned the basics of personal nancial education. For
him, all graduates should know the basics of credit, how
debt can deeply affect ones life, and what can result from
poor nancial decision-making. Arm students with
knowledge, he said, it will keep them from becoming a
slave to debt.
Mike, 48, and a sales rep, is also concerned about how
schools are failing our students. His concerns center on a
decline in teaching respect for hard work and personal
responsibility. He asks, Whatever happened to the val-
ues of working for a living? and wonders how can our
nation survive, with so many now accustomed to hand-
outs as a way of life.
Mike voices a common theme politicians simply
dont care about working, middle class Americans. He
asks, Can we really change anything? and suggests,
People have just given up. Elaine also brings up that
issue, bemoaning the lack of strong leaders who tackle
issues. She refers to the recent federal government shut-
down saying that, it made us look weak to the world.
Jessica, 29, sums it up, I dont even like to vote,
whats the point? Its not about us, theres no real choice.
Greed runs the world. I hear it from my customers all the
time; theyre worried about the future for them and their
kids.
The plural of anecdote is not data; these stories are indi-
cators of concern and not scientic polls. However, a wise
local politician would be smart to address the views from
The Lariat and not just listen to the Silicon Valley bio and
tech elite.

n 2010, Democrats in control of
the Legislature placed
Proposition 25 on the ballot.
The constitutional amendment was
designed to appeal to Californians
who were fed up with annual battles
over the budget. It allowed spending
plans to pass on a simple majority
vote and docked lawmakers if they
didnt pass a budget by the June 15
constitutional deadline. Proposition
25 passed in a landslide.
But the very rst year it was in
place, Democratic legislators showed
its real purpose wasnt reform. It was
to add to their power and further mar-
ginalize the Republican minority fac-
tion. They passed a sham budget on a
party-line vote a budget so dishon-
est that Jerry Brown became the rst
governor in nearly a century to veto a
spending plan enacted by the
Legislature.
State Controller John Chiang
wouldnt go along. He refused to pay
lawmakers until they passed a legiti-
mate budget. Twelve days later, they
did so.
Late last month, alas, a state
appeals court ruled Chiang didnt have
the authority to withhold pay. The
controller warns that the result will be
still more sham budgets and irrespon-
sible behavior from the Legislature.
Hes right.
The moral of this story: Never trust
the California Legislature and be
immensely suspicious of any alleged
reform that lawmakers place on the
ballot.
Dont trust reform measures

As comebacks go, this one was a
couple of days in the making.
On Friday, the U.S. stock market
rebounded from a deep slump earlier in
the week to muster the rst positive
ve-day stretch after three weeks of
declines.
The days modest gains added to a
strong nish for stocks a day earlier,
enough for the Dow Jones industrial
average to eke out a 0.6 percent gain
for the week, while the S&P 500 index
nished up 0.8 percent. Both are still
down for the year.
The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 165.55 points, or 1.1 percent, to
15,794.08. The Standard & Poors 500
rose 23.59 points, or 1.3 percent, to
1, 797. 02. The Nasdaq composite
increased 68.74 points, or 1.7 per-
cent, to 4,125.86.
Expedia led the gains in the S&P500
index, surging 14 percent after report-
ing that its prot and revenue jumped
as hotel bookings increased.
Fridays rally didnt seem likely to
happen as the day got going.
A widely anticipated jobs report
from the Labor Department showed
U.S. employers added 113,000 jobs
last month, less than the average
monthly gain of 194,000 in 2013.
This followed Decembers tepid
increase of just 75,000.
The overall payroll figure disap-
pointed markets, and index futures fell
before regular stock trading began.
Stocks moved higher in mid-morning
trading as investors dug deeper into
the details of the report, which also
showed that manufacturers, construc-
tion firms and mining and drilling
companies added 76,000 jobs com-
bined, a strong showing.
The market had a tough time gur-
ing out what to do with the (jobs) num-
ber when it rst came out, said J.J.
Kinahan, chief strategist with TD
Ameritrade. As the day went on, it just
kind of discounted some of the nega-
tives in there to say, What do we real-
ly want? We want a growing economy,
and these are the jobs we got for a
growing economy.
The government also reported that
the nations unemployment rate
dipped to 6.6 percent in January from
6.7 percent in December. It was the
lowest rate since October 2008.
The market dug itself a hole at the
start of the week, plunging more than
2 percent on Monday. The slide began
with investor anxiety over an industry
survey that found that manufacturing
grew much more slowly in January
than in December. Lackluster U.S. auto
sales for January added to the bad news.
The outlook began to brighten at
midweek, with a survey of private
businesses that showed companies
added 175,000 jobs in January, rough-
ly in line with average monthly gains
the past two years. On Thursday, news
that fewer people applied for unem-
ployment benets last week helped lift
the market.
The Dow is still down 4.7 percent for
the year, while the S&P 500 is down
2.8 percent.
Did the governments latest survey
of the job market give investors rea-
son to feel better about the economy?
Opinions were mixed on Wall Street.
It appears we sort of found our sea
legs here in the middle of the week and
were starting to rally back into a more
normal valuation pattern, said Phil
Orlando, chief equity strategist at
Federated Investors.
Others saw the potential for more
turbulence.
This is sort of the new market we
live in, Kinahan said. There are
going to be gyrations where were
higher, were lower, some quick correc-
tions, some quick rallies. This is
going to set a tone for the rst half of
the year.
Investors will have no shortage of
potentially market-moving news to
watch out for in the coming weeks.
The bulk of the latest quarterly earn-
ings cycle is over, but the markets will
be watching how Washington grapples
with another debt ceiling deadline, and
how quickly the Federal Reserve
moves to reduce its monthly bond pur-
chases.
Stocks rebound to post gain for the week
By Christopher S. Rugaber
and Paul Wiseman
WASHINGTON A second straight
month of weak job growth renewed con-
cerns Friday that the vigor displayed by the
American economy late last year may be
gone, at least for the moment.
The Labor Departments monthly
employment report showing a tepid gain of
113,000 jobs in January followed
Decembers puny increase of 75,000 far
below last years average monthly gain of
194,000.
Yet the report provided some cause for
optimism. Solid hiring last month in man-
ufacturing and construction point to under-
lying strength.
And in a healthy sign, more Americans
began looking for jobs, suggesting they
were more hopeful about their prospects. A
sizable 115,000 formerly unemployed peo-
ple also said they found jobs. Their hiring
reduced the unemployment rate to a season-
ally adjusted 6.6 percent, the lowest in more
than ve years.
Most economists say they think hiring
will strengthen during 2014 as the econo-
my improves further.
Job growth clearly has downshifted over
the past two months, said Doug Handler,
chief U.S. economist at IHS Global Insight.
But we still believe the economic funda-
mentals remain strong and ... forecast an
acceleration of growth later in the year.
Janet Yellen will be pressed about jobs
and the economy when she testifies to
Congress next week in her rst public com-
ments since becoming Federal Reserve
chair on Feb. 1. Fed ofcials are scaling
back their stimulus for the economy.
Theyve also said they would consider rais-
ing their benchmark short-term interest rate
at some point after the rate falls below 6.5
percent.
But the Fed has not been clear about the
timing. With the unemployment rate now
close to that threshold, economists think
the Fed may update its guidance after its
next meeting in March.
Most economists say two weak hiring
months wont lead the Fed to halt its pull-
back on the stimulus. Fed policymakers
will have Februarys job report to consider
when they next meet in March.
Fridays gures add to evidence that the
economy is slowing in the rst few months
of the year after expanding at a robust 3.7
percent annual pace in the second half of
2013.
The gures follow other signs of a possi-
bly softening economy. Asurvey of manu-
facturing rms showed that factory expan-
sion slowed last month. Ameasure of forth-
coming home sales fell.
The jobs report offered some hints that
hiring could return to last years healthier
levels in coming months.
To begin with, the unemployment rate is
at its lowest point since October 2008,
when the nancial crisis was erupting. The
rate fell because many of the unemployed
found work. And the inux of people seek-
ing jobs a sign of optimism was an
improvement from December. In that
month, the unemployment rate fell only
because about 350,000 people stopped
looking for work and were no longer count-
ed as unemployed.
Another positive sign: Manufacturers,
construction rms and mines added a com-
bined 76,000 jobs last month the most
since January 2006.
Weak U.S. jobs report also offers hints of optimism
California leaders
announce kill switch bill
SAN FRANCISCO Ofcials in California

ing smartphones to have a built-in kill
switch to render stolen or lost devices inop-
erable.
State Sen. Mark Leno, San Francisco

devices sold in or shipped to California to
have the anti-theft devices starting next year.
They believe the bill that Leno plans to
introduce this spring would be the rst of its
kind in the United States.

NEWYORK Apple has repurchased $14
billion of its stock in the two weeks after its
first-quarter financial results and second-
quarter revenue outlook disappointed
investors.
The buyback news helped lift Apples
stock by more than 1 percent Friday.
Apple Inc. bought $12 billion worth of
its shares through an accelerated repurchase
program and $2 billion on the open market,
the company conrmed.
The company stepped its investments
because CEO Tim Cook believed the stock
had become a bargain after a recent down-
turn.
Late Thursday, Cook said in an interview
with The Wall Street Journal that the compa-
ny was surprised when its stock dropped 8
percent the day after its earnings report and
revenue outlook. He told the newspaper he
wanted to be aggressive and opportunis-
tic.
Apple has grown accustomed to being a
leader in the technology sector. In the Steve
Jobs era, consumers and investors alike
eagerly awaited each new product announce-
ment and have been rewarded as devices like
the iPhone and iPad won accolades for inno-
vation and pushing technology forward.
But with each new innovation over the
years, there have been increasingly higher
expectations for the future. So when Apples
rst-quarter iPad and iPhone sales were not
as big as expected by investors, and its sec-
ond-quarter revenue forecast fell short of
Wall Streets view, the stock got dinged.
In the past year Apples shares have lost
some ground due to concerns about slowing
growth and increasing competition.
And with the smartphone market becom-
ing inundated with options, Apple may be
hard pressed to lift its stock back to where it
stood at its peak price of more than $700 in
September 2012. That was before investors
began to fret about ercer competition in
mobile devices and Apples lack of a break-
through product since the iPad came out
nearly four years ago.
But Apple isnt sitting idle. Its $14 bil-
lion stock buyback signals the company
remains condent in its business.

NEW YORK The hackers who stole
millions of customers credit and debit card
numbers from Target may have used a
Pittsburgh-area heating and refrigeration
business as the back door to get in.
If that was, in fact, how they pulled it off
and investigators appear to be looking at
that theory it illustrates just how vulner-
able big corporations have become as they
expand and connect their computer net-
works to other companies to increase con-
venience and productivity.
Fazio Mechanical Services Inc., a con-
tractor that does business with Target, said
in a statement Thursday that it was the vic-
tim of a sophisticated cyberattack opera-
tion, just as Target was. It said it is cooper-
ating with the Secret Service and Target to
gure out what happened.
The statement came days after Internet
security bloggers identied the Sharpsburg,
Pa., company as the third-party vendor
through which hackers penetrated Targets
computer systems.

The Sacred Heart Prep boys soccer team
managed only one win during the non-league
portion of their schedule as the Gators waited
for the return of some key players who were
nishing up the football season.
It was during that 1-4-1 start that coach
Armando del Rio believes the foundation for
his team was forged.
Our preseason schedule was pretty dif-
cult, del Rio said. It kind of created this blue-
collar, in-the-trenches team.
Del Rio believes that, more than anything
else, helped his team in a key West Bay
Athletic League showdown against rival
Menlo School. With emotions already run-
ning high, Sacred Heart Prep outworked the
Knights just enough to pull out a 1-0 win in a
steady drizzle Friday afternoon.
I do think this years team is pretty gritty
and built for this kind of game, del Rio said.
The win increased the distance between
Sacred Heart Prep (10-0 WBAL, 11-4-1 over-
all) and Menlo (7-2-1) in the WBALstandings.
Coming into the game, the Knights trailed the
Gators by ve points. The Gators increased
that advantage to eight points with four games
remaining in the regular season.
SHPplayed its best soccer in the opening 20
minutes of the game, dominating possession
and limiting Menlos touches on the ball. The
Knights were locked into their end for most of
that time and, with that much time defending,
the chances are good the more offensive team
will eventually capitalize.
Which is precisely what happened. The
Gators had a number of dangerous chances in
the opening minutes before they nally found
the back of the net.
The goal was triggered on a throw-in by
Isaac Polkinhorne deep in the Menlo end. He
threw the ball short to Philip Petrakian, who
touched it right back to Polkinhorne.
He took a small touch to control the ball

OAKLAND Stephen Curry came home late
Tuesday night following the Golden State
Warriors blowout loss to the Charlotte
Bobcats and received some basketball advice
from an unexpected source: His wife, Ayesha.
She was like, Are you all right? Curry
said. She just looked at our faces, and we were
kind of down at all points in the game. So for
her to say that was kind of telling. We have to
turn that around.
Having fun has been
harder during this season of
unusually high expecta-
tions.
The Warriors (30-20)
enter Saturdays game at
Phoenix (29-20) with the
same record through 50
games as last season, when
they nished 47-35 to earn
the Western Conferences sixth playoff seed.
With a brighter spotlight nationally and an
always fervent fan base in the Bay Area, success
has not been celebrated nearly the same way
this time.
The Warriors, only two years removed from a
23-43 record during the lockout-shortened sea-
son, are still learning how to manage expecta-
tions. Coach Mark Jackson tried to put it in per-
spective before Thursday nights win over the
Chicago Bulls by writing on a white board in
the locker room that his team was 30-23 at the
All-Star break last season.
Its a process, Jackson said. You have to
constantly remind them, because you want to
rush it. You want to rush it. And to me, the joy of
it all is not at the end holding the trophy. Its the
process, the process. To me, its tougher for us
to get from where we were three years ago to
where we are today than it is to get to a champi-
onship. We had to battle a history of being bad,
a history of not defending. And they should be
extremely proud of it, with a lot of room to still
grow.
Warriors learning to manage high expectations

There are many different reasons to hate a
draw in soccer.
Usually, at the top of any list, is the hatred
you feel from knowing there was a tad more
you could have done a certain incomple-
tion, if you will.
With the rain coming down all afternoon,
Burlingame and Aragon high schools played
about as entertaining a game as one could
hope for a wet and uncertain terrain. And
after the referees whistle went off marking
the game a 1-1 draw, both head coaches
werent necessarily thrilled about the out-
come positive as a tie can be.
No. We werent satised, said Aragons
head coach Gregory Markoulakis. Weve
had an injury-plagued season. We picked up
two guys that were missing for quite a while
and we lost two more today before the game.
No, we werent satised. We can play a lot
better. We werent too composed in the rst
half.
And on the other side of the coin,
Burlingame head coach David Siracusa
echoed a similar tone with the draw albeit
for different reasons.
I thought our soccer was phenomenal at
times, Siracusa said. We dont score
enough goals. I thought our soccer was great
and then one unmarked player in the box and
were disappointed. I think the bottom line
is, the sun comes up tomorrow and we keep
playing.
Siracusas disappointment stemmed from
an Aragon goal that found net with 17 min-
utes left in the game. Until that time, the
Panthers had done a solid job of shutting
down the Dons attack. With the exception
of maybe two clear-cut opportunities,
Aragon was all but blanked.
Generally, weve been a strong defensive
team all year, Siracusa said. When we
defend from front to back, from our forwards

Leading up to their rematch against the
Hillsdale girls basketball team, Capuchino
head coach Mike Dozier said his team hit the
classroom.
When they were done watching lm from
the previous game, they watched it again.
And again.
And it was that added attention to detail
that proved to be the difference Friday night
as the Mustangs avenged an earlier loss to
the Knights, 43-39, knocking Hillsdale out
of rst place.
Key down the stretch for Capuchino was
their ability to hit free throws. In the fourth
quarter alone, they went 9 of 12 from the
charity stripe while the Knights missed
eight of their 12 shots.
The rst time we played them, we didnt
work as hard as they did, Dozier said. This
time, we worked as hard as they did. We
worked hard on the boards, we took care of
the ball a little better than last time and we
matched their energy.
Free throws. We couldnt nish our free
throws and we couldnt nish the little bun-
nies we got, said Hillsdale head coach
Megan Hankins when asked what the differ-
ence was in the game. And they executed.
Good job on them. Theyre really well
coached and they did well today. I like play-
ing them, but I dont like playing them
because were so much alike. But its good
competition every time we play.
Friday, the teams were similar in intensi-
t y. Hillsdale isnt a team that will nesse
you into submission and attacks you on the
defensive end of the ball. Dozier said his
team knew this going in and had to switch
their own style of play to stay with the
Knights this time around.
You have to attack that open space,
Dozier said. Were perimeter shooters, but
we had to switch it up tonight. The girls
understand you have to do what the situation
calls for.
Capuchino really tapped into that tough-
ness from the on-set. The difference between

OAKLAND Coco Crisp offered a long
list of reasons why Oakland is such a great

ments the same whether or not he had a nice
new contract to his name.
The Athletics have mutual strong feelings
about their do-everything center elder and
speedy leadoff man, who is staying with the
As for an additional two seasons after agree-
ing Friday to a new contract through 2016
that adds $22.75 million in guaranteed
money.
Its nice. I dont think it was weighing
on me too much, Crisp said Friday, a day
before Oakland holds its FanFest. Either
way, if it happened after the season or
before, this is the place I want to be.
The deal includes a 2017 option that could
become guaranteed, the As said. Crisp was
set to attend FanFest on Saturday with the
two-time reigning AL West champions, a
week ahead of the start of spring training in
Phoenix.
Crisp has a $7.5 mil-
lion salary this year
under a club option exer-
cised Nov. 1. He will earn
$11 million per season in
2015 and 2016, and the
2017 option is for $13
million with a $750,000
buyout.
A switch-hitter who
gets things going at the top of the lineup
with his aggressive baserunning and, more
recently, pop in his bat Crisp hit a

Im just grateful they put me up there and
give me the opportunity to do that. If I hit

part of the wood gets ahold of the balls, that
would be amazing.

season with the As, hasnt played more
than 136 games in a season since arriving
in the Bay Area. He batted .261 with the 22
homers, 66 RBIs and 21 steals last year.
Despite the power surge, Crisp has refused
to call himself a home run hitter. Yet he does
hope to duplicate that production in 2014.
Thats a lot of home runs. Its really
impressive for a leadoff hitter, new ineld-
er Nick Punto said. He might not call him-
self a home run hitter but he has some pop
in the bat.
Crisps 2017 option would vest with 550
plate appearances in 2016 or 1,000 plate
appearances in 2015-16 combined or 130
games in 2016, or 260 games in 2015-16
combined. In addition, the 260 combined
games is with no fewer than 110 played in
2016 and he cant nish 2016 season on the
disabled list.
New Oakland closer Jim Johnson is
happy to no longer have to face Crisp.
Hes a pain, Johnson said. He ghts
off good pitches. Hes a guy you think you
have a plan and your plan goes to crap.
Crisps current contract allows him the
use of a ballpark suite for six games per year
excluding the Yankees, Red Sox and
Giants and the number increases to eight
for 2015-17.
Former Tigers manager Jim Leyland said
several times that containing Crisp was the
biggest key for Detroit to beat the As in the
division series for the second straight sea-
son. Crisp is a career .278 hitter in 30 post-
season games for Boston and Oakland.
Left elder Yoenis Cespedes, who said
Friday he hopes for an extension to stay
with the As beyond his initial $36 million,
four-year deal from February 2012, realizes
how much it means to be playing alongside
Crisp for the near future.
I dont know if Im going to be the next
to get an extension, but he is the key for
this team, Cespedes said. I want to play in
Oakland beyond my four years. I thank them
for giving me the opportunity to play in the
big leagues. I dont forget that.
The Coliseum eld is still dirt piles in
preparation for a Monster Trucks event at
the Coliseum later this month, then it will
be quickly converted and re-turfed for base-
ball.
Crisp gets $22.75M more under new deal with As

PULLMAN, Wash. Washington State
was snifng its rst victory ever against No.
3 Stanford in womens basketball and
Chiney Ogwumike was having none of it.
The Stanford star had 36 points and 17
rebounds and the Cardinal beat Washington
State 77-69 on Friday night to improve to
56-0 against the Cougars.
The game was tied with less than 6 minutes
left, and this was a close contest in the lop-
sided series that began in 1983.
I think if we had played better defensive-
l y, it would have been a different game,
Ogwumike said. But they were scoring left,
right and center.
Taylor Greenfield and Amber Orrange
scored 11 points each for the Cardinal.
Stanford (22-1, 11-0 Pac-12) has won 21
straight games since losing to No. 1
Connecticut.
Lia Galdeira had 21 points and Tia Presley
20 for Washington State (12-11, 6-5). The
Cougars have lost ve of their past six
games after a 5-0 start to conference play.
We managed a win but it wasnt our best,
Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer said. We can
get better.
The 6-foot-4 Ogwumike made 15 of 22
shots and scored 24 of her points in the deci-
sive second half. She played all 40 minutes.

PEBBLE BEACH The wind and the rain
arrived Friday, perhaps a prelude to a nasty
weekend. Leave it to a pair of Texans Jimmy
Walker and Jordan Spieth to thrive in
Crosby Clambake conditions at the AT&T
Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
Walker made some tough par saves and
wound up bogey-free at Spyglass Hill with a 3-
under 69. Spieth was down the coast at
Monterey Peninsula, where he called the birdie
on his nal hole the best of his life. Hes only
20, but it was a proud moment.
They were tied for the lead going into the
third round, one shot to par ahead of Hunter
Mahan.
The slight advantage would go to Walker,
who was at 9-under 135. Already a two-time
winner this season, Walker next goes over to
Monterey Peninsula, the easiest of the three
courses in the rotation. Spieth was at 9-under
134 and headed to Pebble Beach, which can be
brutal in nasty weather.
And the forecast for Saturday was not particu-
larly pleasant.
Along with a three-club wind on the exposed
sections of all three courses, steady rain began
coming down sideways toward the end of the
second round. There was about a 75 percent
chance for more rain Saturday.
More than looking ahead, Spieth was look-
ing behind. He was happy to at least get
Spyglass out of the way already, having opened
with a 67 on Thursday. That didnt make the
Shore Course at Monterey Peninsula a picnic.
Today was very difcult, Spieth said. We
started out in the rain and wind, and we nished
in rainier and windier, he said.
Spieth caught Walker for a share of the lead
on the 187-yard ninth hole, which typically
requires a 6-iron. He watched Kevin Chappell
hit rst with a 3-iron, and the ball rolled back
down off the front of the green. Spieth doesnt
carry a 3-iron.
I went to a hybrid, he said. And I just kind
of hit a little stinger cut about 20 feet away. And
then it was normally a straight putt and
Michael (Greller) and I, my caddie, are looking
at each other saying, Well, weve got to play
this about a foot out to the right with the wind.
And so I hit it a foot out. With about 3 feet to
go, the wind just blew it right, just broke per-
fectly right into the hole.
Walkers best holes were his pars, particular-
ly the par-5 14th. His 8-iron came back down
into a bunker, leaving him such an awkward lie
that he had to plant his feet outside the sand.
With a shallow swing, he did well to blast out
12 feet away, and he made the par putt.
That was pretty big to keep it feeling like
things were still in my favor, Walker said.
He made two long birdie putts, and then hit a
drive of nearly 390 yards on the seventh hole
with the aid of a cart path. It left him only an
8-iron to the green, and he had an easy up-and-
down for his nal birdie.
Mahan had a 68 at Spyglass Hill, with half of
his six birdies on the par 5s. He was at 8-under
136.
Coming up these last few holes are tough,
Mahan said. Theyre uphill, they got the wind,
its getting cold, raining. You just dont want to
throw away shots. Because this can be a long
week, and it could be mentally more grinding
than anything.
Andrew Loupe, who has missed every cut in
his rookie season so far, followed his 63 at
Monterey Peninsula with a 73 at Pebble Beach.
That wasnt too bad, for Pebble Beach was
playing to an average of 74.1, about 2 1/2
strokes more difcult than Thursday. He was at
7-under 136 and plays Spyglass on Saturday.
Phil Mickelson nished off his 66 at
Monterey on Friday morning, and then got an
early indication at Pebble Beach that this
might be a long day. He three-putted from 5 feet
above the hole on the par-5 second for a double
bogey. Mickelson holed some good birdies,
but missed plenty of short ones. He switched
from a conventional grip to the claw during his
round, searching for answers. A three-putt
bogey on the 18th at Pebble gave him a 73. He
was at 4-under 139, still very much in the
game.

SAN JOSE John McCarthy scored his
rst goal since 2010 to help the San Jose
Sharks head into the Olympic break on a
winning note after beating the Columbus
Blue Jackets 3-2 Friday night.
Patrick Marleau and Tommy Wingels also
scored for the Sharks, who won three of four
games following a three-game losing streak
to reach the break in second place in the
Pacific Division. Antti Niemi made 19
saves.
San Jose coach Todd McLellan also broke
Darryl Sutter's franchise record by coaching
in his 435th game. He already is the fran-
chise leader in wins with 257.
Ryan Johansen and Boone Jenner scored
for the Blue Jackets, who trail Philadelphia
by one point for third place in the
Metropolitan Division after losing tight
games on consecutive nights in San Jose
and Los Angeles. Sergei Bobrovsky made
44 saves.
Columbus got worn down in the third
against the more-rested Sharks, especially
on an extended shift early in the period that
led to Wingels' goal. With the Blue Jackets
unable to change a tiring unit under relent-
less pressure from San Jose, Wingels
knocked in a rebound of Jason Demers' shot
for his second goal in two games to make it
3-1.
Jenner scored midway through the period
on Columbus' second shot of the third when
Johansen set him up following a turnover
by Demers.

before launching a long pass to the
far back post. Waiting there was
Ricky Grau, who headed the ball
back across the goal face and into
the left corner of the net.
If we could play the whole game
like we did the rst 20 minutes, Id
be really happy, del Rio said. I
thought our level dropped a little
(following the goal). I think we got
a little too comfortable.
It wasnt going to be that easy,
however. Following the goal,
Menlo picked up its play and evened
out possession for the rest of the
half. The Gators had a few more
chances before the halftime whistle,
while the Gators defense kept most
of the Knightsshot attempts on the
perimeter.
Neither team could mount much
offense in the second half and the
game got a little choppy as the ball
skidded around the slick articial
turf. SHP striker Andrew Segre gave
the Menlo defensive line some t s
with his speed, but the Knights
always managed to recover and
defuse the danger.
Menlo didnt have much success
either, as the Knights were limited
to mostly perimeter shots again.
Most of their shots were from 18
(yards) and out, so that was good,
del Rio said. I was OK defending
more.
Menlos best chances to get the
equalizer came in the nal minutes
of the game as the Knights earned
two corner kicks within seconds of
each other and, despite some scram-
bling in the SHP box, the Gators
remained calm and eventually
cleared the ball away, preserving the
victory.
It was the 12th straight game
Menlo has failed to beat SHP. The
Gators have never lost to their rival
since SHPmoved its soccer program
from the fall to winter season.
Were 10-0-2 against Menlo,
del Rio said. We denitely tell our
boys about that.

NATHAN MOLLAT/DAILY JOURNAL
Sacred Heart Preps Philip Petrakian heads the ball away during the Gators
1-0 win over MenloSchool Friday.
Indeed, the Warriors have emerged
from two decades save the 2006-
07 playoff run of mostly irrele-
vance on the national stage to
accomplish things so many recent
teams couldnt .
The Warriors hadnt won two
games beyond the rst round of the
playoffs since 1977 until taking the
four-time champion San Antonio
Spurs to six games in the second
round last spring. David Lee became
Golden States rst player in the All-
Star game last season since Latrell
Sprewell in 1997. And Curry became
the franchises rst player voted in
as a starter for the All-Star game this
year since Sprewell in 1995.
Bringing nearly the entire roster
back minus reliable reserves
Jarrett Jack and Carl Landry and
signing free agent Andre Iguodala to
a four-year, $48 million deal was
enough for many preseason prog-
nosticators to label the Warriors
serious Western Conference champi-
onship contenders.
The Warriors seemed to back up
those beliefs with a captivating 10-
game winning streak with seven
of the victories coming on the road
that set them up for a string of
seemingly winnable games at
home. Instead, they dropped ve of
seven at Oracle Arena until beating
the Bulls on Thursday night.
Weve got to learn to handle suc-
cess better. That is part of the
process, Jackson said. This is a
young basketball team thats expe-
riencing success for the rst time.
In some ways, the Warriors may
be in a better position now than at
this point a year ago.
They are relatively healthy,
though Lee, center Andrew Bogut
and backup center Jermaine ONeal
all sat out Fridays practice to rest
nagging injuries. Lee will miss his
second straight game at Phoenix
because of a sprained left shoulder
and strained left hip. His status
remains uncertain for next weeks
nal two games before the break
against Philadelphia and Miami.
Bogut, who sat out 50 of 82
games last season recovering from
left ankle surgery, missed his rst
game of the year because of an injury
Thursday with what the team called
shoulder stiffness. Jackson said
Bogut is questionable and ONeal
(right wrist) is likely to play
Saturday.
All of it has the Warriors wanting
more success during this seasons
stretch run than a year ago.
We want to be better, Curry said.
Last year, we probably wouldve
been like thats as good as it
couldve been at that point and
hopefully it will get better from that
point of the season. But I feel like
we are underachieving right now,
but we can only control whats ahead
of us. No point in thinking back to
the bad home losses we had and what
happened after our streak. Were
going to continue to focus on being
a consistent basketball team, how-
ever possible. Thats our challenge
for these next three games going
into the All-Star break and the sec-
ond half of the season.

SOCHI, Russia Many athletes at the
Sochi Olympics have decided to stay off
their feet for the opening ceremony because
theyll be on their skates or skis the next
day.
Several gure skaters said Friday theyre
skipping the ceremonys often spectacular
but occasionally tedious parade of athletes
to rest up for their competition the next day.
The U.S. womens hockey team had a meet-
ing after practice Friday and decided not to
march in the opening ceremony to rest up
for Saturdays game against Finland, a noon
start local time.
Were here to compete for a gold medal,
U.S. forward Julie Chu, who already has two
silvers and a bronze, said before the meet-
ing. The opening ceremony is a very spe-
cial part of the Olympics, but isnt it more
(important) to win a medal?
The opening ceremony is expected to
showcase the countrys post-Soviet identity
to the world, but the parade of 3,000 ath-
letes at past Olympics has been known to
drag on like a classic Russian novel.
Athletes often have to line up an hour or
more before the opening ceremony starts,
and they could still be on their feet ve
hours later.
Thats why three-time Olympic figure
skating medalist Evgeni Plushenko, who
might otherwise have been a candidate to be
the host countrys ag-bearer, said he will
not attend to rest for the team events on
Sunday. American skater Ashley Wagner
said ice dancers Meryl Davis and Charlie
White told her their legs felt heavy for a few
days after marching in Vancouver four years
ago.
Of course I have a fear of missing out, but
Im here to compete, Wagner said. So
were having a viewing party, and I get to
go hang out in Charlie Whites room.
Finnish womens goalie Noora Raty, a
three-time Olympian, said she will also stay
home.
Theres no point of going, just standing
eight hours, she said. Ive been there
twice.
The U.S. and Canadian mens hockey
teams have a different problem: Their NHL
players are still committed to their pro
teams and havent even left for Russia yet.
Its a personal choice, and a lot of ath-
letes choose to walk, even if theyre com-
peting the next day, said Jane Almeida, a
spokeswoman for the Canadian Olympic
Committee. Its really up to them and their
coaches.

Olympic biathlon track
too short, gets extension
KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia Course
workers have added 40 meters (130 feet) to the
biathlon track for the Sochi Olympics because
it was too short.
The loop should measure 2.5 kilometers (1.6
miles). Even though a 5 percent deviation is
allowed by the rules, the track at the Laura
Cross-Country Ski and Biathlon Center came up
short.
Biathlons technical delegate at the
Olympics, Max Cobb, said Friday there was an
issue with the length but we made a change,
which takes care of it.
The new part of the track will be used in the
womens 7.5K sprint on Sunday, and in ve
more events afterward, including the three
relays.
U.S. head coach Per Nilsson said the move
was a surprise because its still the Olympics,
so they should have measured that before.
Injured Austrian
pulls out of slopestyle
KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia Austrian
snowboarder Adrian Krainer withdrew from the
Olympics after suffering an inch-long cut on his
chin and hurting his heels during training
Friday on the rugged slopestyle course.
Krainer nished last in his Thursday qualify-
ing heat at Rosa Khutor Extreme Park. He need-
ed a top-four nish in Saturdays seminals to
reach the medal round.
Earlier this week, Norways Torstein Horgmo
broke his collarbone and American Shaun
White withdrew from slopestyle, citing the dan-
ger of the course.
After several accidents during training, the
riders had fewer problems when competition
opened Thursday. Canadas Max Parrot scored a
97.5 to lead eight of the 29 men who scored in
the 90s.
American freestyler
out with broken leg
KRASNAYAPOLYANA, Russia American
Heidi Kloser had to pull out of the Olympics
after injuring her right leg during a training run
before moguls qualifying.
Kloser tore knee ligaments and broke her
femur following a crash Thursday night, only
moments before she was supposed to head to the
starting gate.
Klosers father, Mike, posting on his
Facebook page, said Heidi asked him if he still
considered her an Olympian even though she
didnt make it to the starting line in her rst
games.
We said, of course she is, Mike Kloser
wrote.
The 21-year-old Kloser was fourth in the
World Cup standings coming into the
Olympics.
Swiss skier Suter leads
womens downhill training
KRASNAYAPOLYANA, Russia Fabienne
Suter of Switzerland led the second womens
downhill training session Friday at the
Olympics, which went off without problem
after a key jump was shaved down.
Suter clocked 1 minute, 42.70 seconds. Tina
Weirather of Liechtenstein was second, 0.11
behind, and Anna Fenninger of Austria was
third, 0.23 behind, although she missed some
gates.
Suter has won four World Cup races but only
one of those was in downhill, in Bansko,
Bulgaria, ve years ago.
After Thursdays opening session was delayed
and then re-run due to the height of the nal
jump, organizers cut it down to a minor bump.
Defending overall World Cup champion Tina
Maze was fth and American teammates Stacey
Cook and Julia Mancuso placed sixth and 10th,
respectively.
Current overall leader Maria Hoe-Riesch was
11th.
Stoch leads elite jumpers
at normal hill training
KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia World
Cup leader Kamil Stoch showed Friday why
hes a strong gold medal favorite for the rst
ski jumping nal at the Sochi Olympics.
Under bright blue, sunny skies at the
RusSki Gorki Jumping Center, Stoch had two
rsts and a second-place nish in three train-
ing runs for Sunday nights individual normal
hill nal.
Stoch is trying to keep Poland in the fore-
front of Olympic ski jumping following the
retirement of Adam Malysz, who won silver in
both the normal and large hills at Vancouver
in 2010.
The men who nished around Malysz four
years ago also performed well Friday.
Bronze medalist Gregor Schlierenzaur of
Austria was second in the third training jump
while defending double gold medalist Simon
Amman was tied for sixth.
80 percent of Sochi
Olympic tickets sold
SOCHI, Russia Many sports fans had to
wait in line for hours Friday to pick up tickets
for the Sochi Olympics.
On the day of the opening ceremony that
kicks off 17 days of sport, long queues, made
up mostly of Russians, snaked into ticket col-
lection points in and around the Russian
Black Sea resort hosting the games.
Organizers said the queues formed in part
because local residents from Sochi, who could
have picked up their tickets months ago, wait-
ed until the last minute and had to wait with
thousands of visitors from elsewhere in
Russia who are pouring into town for the
games.

the most part, were ne.
Burlingame controlled the game in the
rst half 40 minutes of soccer highlight-
ed by an Adrian Eaton goal in the contests
initial stages.
But in spite of the ease of Eatons tally,
the Panthers were met by frustration the rest
of the way. They came extremely close to
scoring another, but a miraculous clear off
the Aragon goal line by the Dons prevented
a doubling of the decit.
The deal for us is, we need to score more
goals, but our soccer has always been
good, Siracusa said. Its been a problem.
We create a lot of chances, we just dont n-
ish them.
The lack of scoring didnt become a prob-
lem for Burlingame until the 63rd minute.
Minutes after the Burlingame defense
dodged a bullet after an Aragon breakaway
resulted in a world-class save, the Dons
pressed again and earned a corner kick.
Herman Perez swung the ball into the back
post and an unmarked Victor Lopez dove
head rst to meet the ball and score a goal
that makes you sad there arent replay cam-
eras at high school soccer games. It was a
thing of beauty and denite front runner for
Daily Journal Goal of the Year.
Victor is a dynamic, attacking player,
Markoulakis said. Hes a sophomore and
hes got the world in front of him.
Instinctive. Hes an instinctive player. It
was beautiful.
Added Markoulakis of the comeback draw
of his Dons resiliency: Theyve had that
all season. Weve had a hard season. Weve
had a couple tough, close calls. But theyve
always fought.
Woodside student Stanford bound
Stanford mens soccer head coach Jeremy
Gunn announced the signing of eight
recruits to National Letters of Intent Friday
and one of them is local product.
Joining the Cardinal and beginning his
collegiate careers in 2014 is Danya Kafai of
Woodside.
Kafai was part of the U.S. U-17 National
Team residency group in 2011, and saw
action with the team at the Nike
International Friendlies in Florida as well as
tournaments throughout Europe. Previously
he spent time in camp with the U-15 and U-
14 National Teams.
Currently he is playing in the USSDA U-
18 league for De Anza Force, which sits atop
the West Conferences Northwest Division
with a 10-1-3 record (33 points). Kafai has
scored a pair of goals so far in 2013-14,
after scoring twice for the U-18 squad a sea-
son ago. Previously with Juventus Sports
Club, he helped lead the club to the 2009
State Cup title.
Danya is a proven poacher. He has a
lovely rst touch, and can score goals in all
different ways. He blends exceptional link
play and movement off the ball with great
composure in the box, Gunn said via uni-
versity press release.

halves one and two 19 points scored as
opposed to 24 was the Mustangs ability
to hit their free throws. In the rst half, they
went to the line for nine freebies and hit
zero. Still, after trailing 9-8 after one quar-
ter, the Mustangs, behind a pair of key
buckets by Brittany and Brianna Deckman,
took a two-point advantage into the half-
time locker room.
The momentum of that second quarter
poured over into the third period and with
3:17 left in the frame, Capuchino was up
nine.
Hillsdale answered that stretch with a 9-1
run of its own and the quarter nished with
Capuchino only up one, 30-29.
Their effort is always at 110 percent,
Dozier said of Hillsdale. So, we capitalized
on the fact they couldnt dribble, got a few
more turnovers and we just out-worked
them.
The Knights were hit bad by the turnover
bug in the fourth quarter to the tune of seven
giveaways. They kept things close for a
moment, but midway through the frame,
Brittany Deckman found a bit of range to
extend the Capuchino lead to as many as
seven points.
And while Hillsdale had a bit of a run left
in it, Capuchinos efciency at the line kept
the Knights just far enough away. Brittany
Deckman nished with 10 points. Taylor
Brazil led all scorers with 15 points.
Kara Ronberg had a monster game for
Hillsdale. She nished with 14 points and
13 rebounds. The loss for the Knights in
their second in the last three PAL South
games. Theyre now 8-2 in league play.
We just have to realize its a long haul.
We have to make it through the long haul,
Hankins said. And just letting them know
we have to nish strong. Every time we go
to practice, we have to go to work. Losses
tell me that we have to do more work. So,
thats what were going to do.
I think intensity is the only thing you
can ask for as a coach. This team, as far as
any team Ive ever coached, its the hardest
working team Ive ever been apart of. Every
time I ask them to give me more, they do it.
They say, coach, is this enough? I know
they have more. Its awesome to coach
them. So yes, this loss is going to hurt us,
hurt our pride a little bit but I know come
tomorrow morning, well be here at 8:30
ready to go to work.

By Ronald Blum
NEW YORK Alex Rodriguez
ended his extended and acrimonious
ght with Major League Baseball on
Friday, withdrawing a pair of lawsuits
and accepting a season-long suspen-
sion that marks the longest penalty
in the sports
history related to
per f or mance-
enhancing drugs.
Ro d r i g u e z ,
who has stead-
fastly denied
using banned
substances while
with the New
York Yankees,
made the deci-
sion nearly four weeks after arbitrator
Fredric Horowitz largely upheld the
discipline issued last summer by
baseball Commissioner Bud Selig.
I think its a good move for him,
former Commissioner Fay Vincent
said. A-Rod had no chance legally,
and the commissioner got his author-
ity validated.
Rodriguez was among 14 players
suspended last summer following
MLBs investigation of a Florida
anti-aging clinic accused of distribut-
ing banned substances. Given the
harshest punishment, A-Rod was the
only player to contest his penalty.
The Major League Baseball Players
Association led a grievance, argu-
ing Rodriguezs 211-game ban was
unwarranted or at the very least
excessive. Rodriguez also sued MLB
and Selig in October, accusing them
of vigilante justice as part of a
witch hunt against him.
Horowitz presided over 12 days of
hearings last fall highlighted by
Rodriguezs decision not to testify.
Horowitz concluded on Jan. 11 there
was clear and convincing evidence
Rodriguez used three banned sub-
stances over the course of three years
human growth hormone, testos-
terone and Insulin-like growth factor
1. Horowitz also ruled A-Rod twice
tried to obstruct baseballs investiga-
tion, but he nonetheless reduced the
suspension to 162 games plus the
2014 postseason after weighing it
against baseballs just cause stan-
dard.
Rodriguez sued MLB and the union
two days later in federal court in
Manhattan, claiming the arbitration
process was awed. But the Supreme
Court has established narrow grounds
for overturning arbitrators deci-
sions, and legal experts said
Rodriguez had virtually no chance of
succeeding in his attempt to have
Horowitzs decision vacated.
Without making any admissions,
Rodriguezs lawyers led notices of
dismissal in both cases Friday.
Season-long suspension
accepted by Rodriguez
Alex Rodriguez
Anthony Davis picked to play in NBA All-Star game
NEW YORK New Orleans forward Anthony Davis was
chosen Friday to replace the injured Kobe Bryant in the NBA
All-Star game that will be played in his home city.
Davis was nearly chosen as a reserve, but missed by one
spot in voting by Western Conference head coaches, a person
with knowledge of the details told The Associated Press on
condition of anonymity because vote totals were not released.
The 2012 U.S. Olympian ended up getting into the Feb. 16
game at Smoothie King Center when NBA Commissioner
Adam Silver chose him to replace Bryant, who was voted by
fans to start but is still recovering from a broken knee.
Davis is averaging 20.5 points, 10.5 rebounds and a
league-leading 3.3 blocks for the Pelicans. Davis, the No. 1
pick in the 2012 draft, is also scheduled to play in the Rising
Stars Challenge for rookies and second-year players next
Friday.

Body and Machine in Early 20th-Century Art
bian pop duo Tatu and their hit, Not
Gonna Get Us. Russian TV presenter Yana
Churikova shouted: Welcome to the cen-
ter of the universe!
Yet no amount of cheering could drown
out the real world.
Fears of terrorism, which have dogged
these games since the Putin won them
amid controversy seven years ago, were
stoked during the ceremony itself. A pas-
senger aboard a flight bound for Istanbul
said there was a bomb on board and tried to
divert the plane to Sochi. Authorities said
the plane landed safely in Turkey, and the
suspected hijacker who did not have a
bomb was subdued.
The show opened with an embarrassing
hiccup, as one of five snowflakes failed to
unfurl as planned into the Olympic rings,
forcing organizers to jettison a fireworks
display and disrupting one of the most
symbolic moments in an opening ceremo-
ny.
That allowed for an old Soviet tradition
of whitewashing problems to resurface, as
state-run broadcaster Rossiya 1 substituted
a shot during from a rehearsal with the
rings unfolding successfully into their
live broadcast.
Also missing from the show: Putins
repression of dissent, and inconsistent
security measures at the Olympics, which
will take place just a few hundred miles
(kilometers) away from the sites of a long-
running insurgency and routine militant
violence.
And the poorly paid migrant workers
who helped build up the Sochi site from
scratch, the disregard for local residents,
the environmental abuse during construc-
tion, the pressure on activists, and the
huge amounts of Sochi construction
money that disappeared to corruption.
Some world leaders purposely stayed
away, but U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-
moon and dozens of others were in Sochi
for the ceremony. He didnt mention the
very real anger over a Russian law banning
gay propaganda aimed at minors that is
being used to discriminate against gay
people.
But IOC President Thomas Bach won
cheers for addressing it Friday, telling the
crowd its possible to hold Olympics
with tolerance and without any form of
discrimination for whatever reason.
For all the criticism, there was no short-
age of pride at the ceremony in what
Russia has achieved with these games,
after building up an Olympic Park out of
swampland. The head of the Sochi organiz-
ing committee, Dmitry Chernyshenko,
captured the mood of many Russians pres-
ent when he said, Were now at the heart
of that dream that became reality.
The games in Sochi are our chance to
show the whole world the best of what
Russia is proud of, he said. Our hospital-
i t y, our achievements, our Russia!
The ceremony presented the Putins ver-
sion of todays Russia: a country with a
rich and complex history emerging confi-
dently from a rocky two decades and now
capable of putting on a major internation-
al sports event.
Putin himself was front and center,
declaring the games open from his box
high above the stadium floor. Earlier, he
looked down as the real stars of the games
those athletes, dressed in winter wear of
so many national colors to ward off the
evening chill and a light dusting of man-
made snow walked onto a satellite
image of the earth projected on the floor,
the map shifting so the athletes appeared
to emerge from their own country.
As always, Greece the birthplace
of Olympic competition came first
i n t he parade of nat i ons. Fi ve new
teams, all from warm weather climates,
joined the Winter Olympians for the
fi rst t i me. Togos flagbearer looked
dumbstruck with wonder, but those vet-
erans from the Cayman Islands had the
style to arrive in shorts!
The smallest teams often earned the
biggest cheers from the crowd of 40,000,
with an enthusiastic three-person
Venezuelan team winning roars of
approval as flagbearer and alpine skier
Antonio Pardo danced and jumped along to
the electronic music.
Only neighboring Ukraine, scene of a
tense and ongoing standoff between a pro-
Russian president and Western-leaning
protesters, could compete with those
cheers.
That is, until the Russians arrived.
Walking in last to a thundering bass line
that struggled to overcome the ovations
from the hometown crowd, the Russians
reveled in all the attention. Their feeling
could perhaps best be summed up by
Russian singers Tatu, whose hit Not
Gonna Get Us accompanied them to their
seats.
Russians place huge significance in the
Olympics, carefully watching the medal
count their dismal 15-medal perform-
ance in Vancouver four years ago is on the
minds of many.
These games are particularly important,
as many Russians are still insecure about
their place in the world after the end of the
Cold War and the years since that have
seen dominance of the United States and
China.
International politics were never far
beneath the surface. One member of the
VIP crowd carrying the Olympic flag was
Anastasia Popova, a young televison
reporter with the state-owned Rossiya TV
channel, best known for her reporting on
Syrias civil war. Putin and Russian state
media have stood strongly behind Syrian
President Bashar Assad, and Popovas cov-
erage laid the blame for the war squarely on
Syrian rebels.
But back to that Russian pride.
As Churikova rallied the crowd to scream
louder than ever, she told the fans in
their cool blue seats their keepsakes from
the night would last 1,000 years. When
explaining the show would be hosted in
English, French and Russian, she joked
that it didnt matter, because in Sochi,
everyone speaks every language in the
world.
Viewers of the Olympic ceremony
romped through the wonders of Russian
cultural and scientific achievements
from Malevichs avant-garde paintings to
Leo Tol st oys War and Peace, from
Mendeleevs periodic table of elements to
the string of Soviet firsts in space.
Capping it all off, Russian hockey great
Vladislav Tretiak and three-time gold
medalist Irina Rodnina joined hands to
light the Olympic cauldron. Hes often
called the greatest goaltender of all time
by those who saw him play, she won 10
world pairs figure skating titles in a row.
That was how it ended. At the top, the
show and the games easily avoided
talking about prickly issues even when
the women in Tatu took the stage. The duo,
who put on a lesbian act that is largely
seen as an attention-getting gimmick,
merely held hands during their perform-
ance on this night, stopping short of the
groping and kissing of their past perform-
ances.
This time? Their lead-in act was the Red
Army Choir MVD singing Daft Punks
Grammy-winning Get Lucky.

Eighteen ...
things to do
By Janani Kumar
I
m nally turning legal! Or, as
the reporters in the Daily
Journal newsroom would pre-
fer, 18.
But, if you ask me, turning
legal sounds far more impressive
than does 18.
Anyway, regardless of what we
call it, its going to be a turning
point in my life, as it will in every
persons life, or
so Im told. And
with this magi-
cal day comes
three things
people fear:
choices, choic-
es and choices.
Now that I am
about to offi-
cially become
an adult, it is time for me to start
contemplating the ups and the
downs and make any last-minute
decisions.
For example, if I ever decide to
kill someone, its now or never,
because theres no juvie when I turn
18. No, I will get to experience
adult people jail!
Im only joking, of course, but it
denitely will make me think a lit-
tle harder about the consequences of
my actions.
Another highlight, as suggested
by the reporters in the newsroom:
move out of my parents house and
live in a car! Well, needless to say, I
kindly rejected this suggestion as I
very much like living in my par-
ents house (thanks mom and dad!)
and will be off to college in the fall
anyway.
And lets not forget the (obscure)
added benet of being able to buy
nitrous oxide, because who doesnt
want to buy a ton of laughing gas
and embarrass people by making
them laugh uncontrollably in a
totally inappropriate situation?
But in all honesty, Im super
excited for this! I will get to do
things that I have always wanted,
like having an adult drivers
license, which means no 11 p.m.
curfew and I get to drive around
whomever I want.
I also nally get to vote! Its not
that I am super interested in politics
or anything like that, but register-
ing to vote is this right of pas-
sage that Im sure I will be proud to
go through.
And for this next privilege, I am
not sure what my schools policy is
on this, but I am keeping my n-
gers crossed: I can sign myself out
of school! No more: Call your par-
ents honey and if they say you can
leave, you can leave. Nope. If I
need to sign myself out, voila!
And if you are a roller-coaster
junkie like me, turning 18 means
being able to go skydiving. Theres
nothing like a little thrill to com-
memorate this coming-of-age.

LOS ANGELES When a lead-
ing Hollywood actor decides to
make a movie, casting usually
becomes as easy as dialing some of
your closest A-list buddies.
At least thats the way it worked
for George Clooney on the new
World War II drama, The
Monuments Men, opening
Friday.
Well, they are friends so that
part is easy, Clooney said in a
recent joint interview with the
cast. But you know the truth is,
they wouldnt do it if they didnt
like the screenplay. ... I mean I ew
to Australia for one day to hand
Cate (Blanchett) the script.
The beginning of the lm has an

Clooneys character starts to

DALLAS As part of an Allied
mission tasked with saving
works of art during World War II, a
homesick James Rorimer told his
wife in a December 1944 letter
from liberated Paris that he was
working hard but worried about
how much he was achieving.
But Im here to save works of
art and that is what really mat-
ters, he wrote.
Rorimer, then 39 and a curator
at New Yorks Metropolitan

out his mission successfully,

of art looted by the Nazis were

And then there are some things about growing up that will
have people like me totally nervous. Things like seeing the
doctor on my own. I mean, on the one hand, it would be awe-
some to be able to go to the ofce and sign myself in, but it
will be terrifying to get my vaccinations without my mom
there to hold my hand (Yes. I am 17 years old and still need to
hold my moms hand when I get a shot).
And of course there are things on the bucket list of things
to do when I turn 18 that I probably will never need to do, but
will end up doing just because I can. For example, renting a
port-a-potty or buying a monkey.
Oh my gosh. Thats a really long list of things to do. And I
guess here comes the part of making choices and becoming
responsible for my decisions.
It is kind of daunting, but Ive had 18 years to prepare for
this.

was a leading figure in a group of 350
men and women from Allied countries
attached to the U.S. Armys
Monuments, Fine Arts and Archives
Section. In the new movie The
Monuments Men, Matt Damon por-
trays a character inspired by the real-
life Rorimer, who died in 1966 at age
60.
He was fighting for the art, said
daughter Anne Rorimer.
His contributions included helping
discover works of art looted from
German museums that were stored in
Germanys Heilbronn mines and
helping to establish the Munich
Collecting Point where works were
received, processed and then restitut-
ed after the war.
The Monuments Men included
architects, artists, curators and muse-
um directors. The Harvard-educated
Rorimer went on to become director
of the Metropolitan Museum after the
war.
Robert Edsel, the Dallas-based
author who wrote the book the movie
is based on, said Rorimer was
always a whirlwind of activity.
One of Rorimers major feats was
gaining the trust of Rose Valland, the
French art expert who had been
allowed to stay behind at Paris Jeu de
Paume after the Nazis made it the base
for their looting operation. Valland,
who unbeknownst to the Nazis spoke
German, managed to keep track of
where the works most stolen from
Jewish families in France were
being sent.
But Valland, who inspired the char-
acter played by Cate Blanchett, was
not going to easily give up her infor-
mation. Living in Nazi-occupied
Paris had made her wary, even of her
fellow countrymen, and she wanted to
know that she was giving the infor-
mation to someone who would help
return the works to their rightful
owners.
Vallands watching everything
that Rorimers doing, said Edsel.
What evolves between the two of
them is this dance ... Shes testing
him. Shes trying to find out where
his loyalties lie.
Rorimer was first introduced to
Valland in fall 1944. Over the
months, he earned her trust and by
March 1945, when Rorimer was head-
ed with the Army into southern
Germany, she told him that
Neuschwanstein Castle in the
Bavarian Alps was the Nazi hideaway
for about 21,000 items stolen from
mostly Jewish collectors in France.
If you got to know him, you real-
ized that hes got to be appreciated.
Saving culture was ingrained upon
him and he was successful, said
Harry Ettlinger, who as a 19-year-old
U.S. soldier volunteered his services
to Rorimer after learning the
Monuments Men needed someone
who spoke German.
Ettlinger, one of only a handful of
Monuments Men who are still alive,
had fled Nazi Germany with his fami-
ly the day after his bar mitzvah in
1938 and returned to Europe in 1945
with the U.S. Army. He inspired a
character played by Dimitri Leonidas.
Ettlinger said he quickly realized
that Rorimer was a man who got
things done, a wheeler and dealer,
as Ettlinger put it. Ettlinger recalled a
time when Gen. George S. Pattons
men had their sights on moving into
the building the Monuments Men
planned to use for their Munich
Collecting Point a building that
happened to be the former Nazi head-
quarters. Rorimer, Ettlinger said,
quickly put a stop to that.
Anne Rorimer grew up in the post-
war years and says most of her memo-
ries of her father are tied to his work
at the Met. I heard more about all the
day-to-day workings of the
Metropolitan Museum.
Her father died when she was in col-
lege, but she became an art historian
and eventually learned more about his
work as a Monuments Man. As Edsel
was writing his book, which came out
in 2009, he asked her to track down
wartime letters from her father to her
mother. When she finally found the
letters in storage and read through
them, she was struck by her fathers
longing for family life and by the
hardships he described.
This week has been a cold and dif-
ficult one, he wrote in January
1945. I left Paris a few days ago on a
field trip. The cold winds, ice, rain
and snow blew into the open jeep
with which I went about from place to
place.
But by the end of that year, as suc-
cesses mounted, the letters became
more upbeat. In October 1945, he
wrote, that they were getting results
in the long fight for cultural
objects.

miliar with the works of the Monuments Men until she
received the hand-delivered script from Clooney, who also
directed and was co-writer.
I knew that work had gone missing and that the Nazis had
collected art and stolen art and destroyed art, said
Blanchett.
Bill Murray was happy to nally work on a big lm again.
Yeah, I got teased for a while (by George Clooney). He told
me the whole story and then he would say, Can you please
pass the salad? Then like nine months later through a
friend, he said, Ask Bill if he wants to be in the job.
Murray wasnt the only one who was pranked by Clooney.
His father, Nick Clooney, received the nal and biggest
prank of all.
Well I screened the movie for him in Italy, said George
Clooney. My father plays me at the end of the lm and
walks off into this beautiful church with this beautiful light
and it goes to black and normally that would be like the rst
credit that comes up and instead I put, In Loving Memory of
Nick Clooney. He said, What the hell are you doing? I
said, Well, you know, its a long time before the movie
comes out so you never know. I didnt leave it in the lm
but he thought it was very funny and he is going to get me
back.
The movie originally had a planned release date of Dec. 18
but was pushed to early 2014 and right out of Hollywoods
prestigious awards season. This year was especially crowd-
ed with an abundance of viable Oscar contenders. So was
there too much competition?
We just didnt nish it, Clooney explained. We had a
lot of work to do. Its a bigger lm. You know, we started
shooting this movie in March of last year, so we were going
to have to ip it around in nine months, which is really
moving for a lm that size, and we just didnt make it.

plain sight for decades, said Robert Edsel,
the Dallas-based author of the book The
Monuments Men, which inspired the
movie starring George Clooney, Matt
Damon and others.
Edsel talked about a few of the many
places and artworks in Europe tied to the
work of the 350 men and women from Allied
countries, most of them already established
as architects, artists, curators and museum
directors when they reported for duty.
Eventually, they returned more than ve
million cultural items stolen by the Nazis as
part of a systematic looting operation.
WORKS OF ART IN BELGIUM AND
THE AUSTRIAN SALT MINE WHERE
THEY WERE HIDDEN
Visitors to the canal-lined, storybook
town of Bruges, Belgium, may look in in
awe at Michelangelos marble sculpture
Madonna and Child in the Church of Our
Lady, but few know of its harrowing wartime
journey. Taken from the church by German
ofcers in 1944, the sculpture was eventual-
ly discovered by Monuments Men on a dirty
mattress in a salt mine near Altaussee in
Austria.
In the town of Ghent, not far from Bruges,
visitors at Saint Bavo Cathedral can gaze at
another work that was discovered by
Monuments Men at the Altaussee mine: the
Ghent Altarpiece. Made of panels painted
by Jan van Eyck in 1432, the famous work
of art was taken by the Belgians to France in
1940 for safekeeping. But in 1942 it was
taken by the Germans.
Tourists can also visit the Altaussee salt
mine where those works along with
6,600 paintings, 140 sculptures and other
pieces lled more than 100 tunnels. The
works stored in the Austrian mine about 45
minutes from Salzburg housed treasures
Adolf Hitler wanted to one day fill his
planned museum in Linz, Austria.
A PARISIAN MUSEUM AND A
FAMOUS VERMEER
When the Nazis took over the Jeu de
Paume museum in Paris, making it the head-
quarters of their looting operation, French
art expert Rose Valland was allowed to stay.
But Valland, who unbeknownst to the Nazis
spoke German, managed to keep track of
where the artworks most stolen from
Jewish families in France were being
sent. She passed that information along to
Monuments Man James Rorimer after the
liberation of Paris, directing him to
Germanys Neuschwanstein Castle. Today, a
small plaque on the southwest corner of the
Jeu de Paume, located near the Place de la
Concorde, recognizes her bravery.
To see a work of art with a history that
encapsulates the Nazi looting machine,
Edsel says, gaze upon Jan Vermeers paint-
ing The Astronomer at the Louvre. If we
could take it off the wall it would have a Nazi
inventory code on the back, he said.
That one picture is stolen from the
Rothschilds, goes to the Jeu de Paume. Its
selected for (Adolf) Hitlers museum. ... It
ends up in the salt mine at Altaussee, found
by the Monuments ofcers, returned with all
these other things to France, returned to the
Rothschilds, donated to the Louvre, he
said.
GERMANYS FAIRYTALE CASTLE,
CEILING FRESCO BY A MASTER
Visitors flock to tour Mad King
Ludwigs Neuschwanstein Castle, nestled in
Germanys soaring Bavarian Alps with dra-
matic turrets rising into the sky. But during
the war, the castle was the Nazis hideaway
for about 21,000 items stolen from French
collectors and records of the looting.
Monuments Man John Davis Skilton
arrived in the German town of Wurzburg in
hopes of saving the Giovanni Battista
Tiepolos ceiling fresco Allegory of the
Planets and Continents. The fresco in the
Residenz palace dating back to the 1750s
was in peril: The roof above the fresco ceil-
ing burned off during Allied bombings,
leaving it exposed to the elements.
Edsel said Skilton set to guring out how
to get a roof built over the fresco as soon as
possible. He sees how precarious it is, so
he nds lumber, which was no easy feat,
said Edsel.
When you go walk through the palace
Residenz, in the last room that youre in,
theres a small shrine to John Skilton, he
said.
FLORENCES BRIDGES, PISA S
CAMPOSANTO
In Italy, Florences bridges today offer a
look at cultural treasures that didnt survive
the war. Except for the Ponte Vecchio the
citys famous covered bridge other
bridges over the Arno were destroyed by the
Nazis as they made their retreat out of Italy
in 1944. Pictures from the war show people
walking across the rubble that was once the
bridges. Edsel says the now rebuilt bridges
are part of the altered legacy that we live
with today.
Monuments Man Deane Kellers work to
restore the heavily damaged Camposanto
building in Pisa meant so much to him that
he was buried there after his 1992 death.
During the war, frescos in the ancient ceme-
tery located near the citys Leaning Tower
were damaged from a re during a ght for
the city. Keller worked with a team to sal-
vage and save what they could.

DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
TURN, WEAVE, FIRE AND FOLD:
VESSELS FROM THE FORREST L.
MERRILL COLLECTION, AT THE SAN
FRANCISCO AIRPORT MUSEUM. A
vessel is generally dened as a hollow uten-
sil, such as a cup, vase or pitcher, used as a
container, especially for liquids. Collector
Forrest Merrill has a deep affection for the
vessel in all its forms. A selections of the
ones he has acquired over many decades
comprise the San Francisco Airport
Museums exhibit Turn, Weave, Fire and
Fold: Vessels from the Forrest L. Merrill
Collection.
Merrills rst art acquisition was in 1950
at a clay and glass exhibition in Pasadena,
which he attended with his high school art
club. With forty dollars earned from cutting
neighbors lawns the previous summer,
Merrill purchased a slumped-glass salad set
by Glen Lukens, a pioneer in studio crafts
who was then teaching at U.S.C. in Los
Angeles. Merrills newly discovered pas-
sion for the vessel form led to his collect-
ing Scandinavian ceramics while attending
the University of Stockholm in Sweden.
After settling in Northern California,
Merrill became close friends with Bauhaus -
trained potter Marguerite Wildenhain, who
worked and taught at her studio in the hills
above Guerneville. It was Wildenhain whom
Merrill credits as the inuence who encour-
aged him to not only look, but to see.
The San Francisco Bay Area was an excit-
ing place during the 1960s, especially in
the world of crafts, with local artists push-
ing the boundaries in every medium. Merrill
took full advantage of their close proximi-
t y, and his acquisitions were decidedly per-
sonal. It was during this period that he dis-
covered the elegant bowls of wood turner
Bob Stocksdale (1913 2003) at the
Berkeley home-furnishings store Frasers .
Merrill approached the artist with an offer
of wood from trees that he had cut down in
his own yard, and thereafter acquired a bowl
that Stocksdale made from that very wood.
This was the beginning of a rich and endur-
ing friendship with both Stocksdale and his
wife, ber artist Kay Sekimachi. Celebrated
for her sculptural monolament hangings
and woven room dividers, Sekimachi was
exploring vessel forms at the time, which
materialized as woven boxes and baskets
and leaf bowls.
In 1974, Merrill met metalworker June
Schwarcz (b. 1918) at an exhibition of her
enamel vessels at the Anneberg Gallery in
San Francisco. An invitation of tea and con-
versation at Schwarczs Sausalito home and
studio led to a close relationship, which
they have enjoyed for decades. And it was an
invitation to lunch that sparked his friend-
ship with potter James Lovera (b. 1920),
just prior to Loveras retrospective exhibi-
tion at the Crocker Art Museum in
Sacramento in 2006. Merrill had admired
Loveras ceramics offered at Gumps gallery
in San Francisco as early as the 1960s, and
he has since acquired a number of Loveras
vessels, more recently collecting the
artists work in depth.
Merrills collection contains examples
spanning the careers of many artists work-
ing in the 20th and 21st centuries. Each
piece represents a close relationship forged
over decades of studio visits and innumer-
able conversations with the artists,
exchanges that allowed the collector to gain
insight into their motivations and a more
intimate understanding of the works he was
acquiring. Merrill considers his collection
of this art to be his lifes focus. Each vessel
represents a conversation, a gesture and a
special memory, but as Merrill insists, the
artists themselves are the real treasures.
Turn, Weave, Fire and Fold: Vessels from
the Forrest L. Merrill Collection is located
pre-security in the International Terminal
Main Hall Departures Lobby, San Francisco
International Airport. The exhibition is on
view to all Airport visitors until June 1.
There is no charge to view the exhibition.

research and documentation beyond the
standard staff reports which some fellow
members say is costly and unnecessary;
filing an anti-harassment complaint
against General Manager Peter Grenell
and being subject to similar harassment
complaints by staff and wearing Google
Glass to the first meeting after videotap-
ing was nixed.
The San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury
is now reportedly investigating the dis-
trict and the commission next month is
looking at hiring a facilitator to see how
the members can all play nicely.
Bernardo, who said he tries to remain
neutral, said he hates the discord.
I do not like conflict. Weve got things
to do and bickering does not move the dial
forward, Bernardo said. It pains me and
hurts me to see so much friction really,
whether its on the commission level or
the community level because it quickly
turns to quicksand and we cant move for-
ward with projects. Progress gets pushed
aside because of personality.
Brennan agrees that the public is proba-
bly more aware of the districts disputes
rather than its issues and achievements.
We clearly have public perception
issues, she said.
History of conflict
The Harbor Commission has long been
a body of conflicts, even long before
many of the current participants were
elected. Dissolution was considered once,
but shelved. The civil grand jury also
looked at the district in 2000 and 2001,
the last investigation resulting in recom-
mendation of a mediator.
The posts attract passionate people who
end to be lightning rods in the communi-
t y, Bernardo theorized.
The current commission includes
Bernardo, a former South San Francisco
planning commissioner and Port of
Oakland spokesman; Brennan, a graphic
artist business owner and marine advo-
cate; Jim Tucker, who has a law enforce-
ment and development background; Pietro
Parravano, whose background in commer-
cial fishing moved into education and sus-
tainability; and Will Holsinger, a
Burlingame attorney twice appointed to
fill two difference vacancies following a
members death.
Culture clash
The taxpayer-funded district, which
formed in 1933, runs both Pillar Point
Harbor in Princeton and Oyster Point
Marina/Park in South San Francisco.
Parravano and Tucker have served on the
commission for years while Brennan,
elected in 2012, is the bodys newest
member. She ran on a platform that
included environmental protection and
questioning the boards financial deci-
sions a precursor perhaps to the current
head-butting between her, the board and
district staff .
Tucker thinks Brennans is stumbling
while making the transition from seeking
information as a shotgun-approach
community activist to an elected officials
less confrontational mode.
She came to us thinking that behind
every decision or closed door there is
something wrong going on, Tucker said.
Tucker said Brennan is at odds with the
staff and appears to undermine the dis-
tricts positives such as asking the com-
mittee handing out the coveted state
Clean Harbor Award if it hadnt over-
looked bacteria still present.
Brennan kept asking the same questions
and wouldnt accept the answers,
Parravano said.
She was basically saying, I dont
believe you, he said. She wanted more
out of something that had already been
taken care of. She has difficulty letting
go.
Parravano said the same tenacity is
apparent in her repeated requests for large
volumes of documents.
Yet, you cant put everything on her,
Tucker said. Its us, too. Maybe were too
old-fashioned and set in our ways.
Tucker said its hard to find a lot of com-
mon ground with Brennan but does sup-
port her idea to add member email address-
es to the district website and Wi-Fi at the
harbors.
Long, contentious meetings
and Occupy movement
The videotaping, however, Tucker and
the others say is less a matter of technol-
ogy and generations as it is maintaining
sense of decorum at meetings.
Prior to Brennans election, the meet-
ings ran short and were audiotaped. Now,
after meetings that ran into the next
morning once they couldnt even fin-
ish an agenda, Grenell said an earlier
start time and 10 p.m. hard stop is
enforced.
Were not running the state of
California here, Tucker said.
Even so, Tucker, Holsinger and Grenell
say if there are two hours of tape, 45 min-
utes of it will be Brennan speaking.
As a matter of fact, at one board meet-
ing after Brennan had been speaking for
25 minutes, a member of the audience
called out Do you have a question or are
you making a speech? Grenell said.
That is a quote so even the public has
been seeing this kind of thing.
The rest of the meeting time, they say,
is taken up by out-of-town faces with ties
to the Occupy movement who never
showed before and tend to tailor their pub-
lic comment to supporting Brennans
right to speak. The crowd grew so unruly
with name calling and finger pointing
that armed deputies now attend and the
commission was asked to relocate its
meetings, Parravano said.
That to me speaks to the severity and
lack of civility that other members are
experiencing, Parravano said.
The board, which had only recently
started videotaping the meetings, also
voted in a split 3-2 decision to end the
practice and use podcasts. Doing so added
fuel to the fire over transparency. More
sparks came when Brennan wore a friends
Google Glass during the next meetings
discussion of the videotaping item. It was
a last-minute decision at the friends urg-
ing and not meant to imply anything,
Brennan said.
Then private citizens began doing their
own filming. Former Half Moon Bay
council candidate John Ullum in particular
is videotaping which commissioner say
they do appreciate, even if that is tem-
pered with concern about slanted editing
and splicing of the footage.
Parravano said the situation is unlike
anything hes experienced before on the
commission and it leaves him exhausted.
I leave from my house full of love and
warmth and get to this meeting where I get
beat up. Then I go back to my house full of
love. Its a spin cycle, Parravano said.
Although the others pinpoint Brennan
as the commonality for the disruptive
meetings, she said they bother her, too.
However, she felt the public actually acted
better with the cameras and recalled Tucker
being more pointed in his dislike of their
use.
He said videotaping is like a fungus,
she said.
Professional intervention,
accounting issues
In a bid to heal the wounds and move
forward, the commission is considering
options for a professional third-party.
Candidates will be interviewed at a special
March 12 meeting.
Parravano understands the public might
find it an unnecessary expense but I
think a lot of people dont realize how
deep these schisms are.
The one thing they might all agree on is
that the underlying personality conflicts
color the perception of the districts
actions, particularly when headlines glom
onto a former employee not depositing
$38,000 in tenant checks or a bank-issued
credit card being hacked.
The districts new finance director found
the 37 missing tenant checks were found
in the drawer of an employee who later
resigned. Two months later, the commis-
sion learned of the incident and Brennan
demanded to know why they werent
informed sooner of the discovery and
accounting errors. Meanwhile, some of
the boat-owning renters ended up in
arrears and others werent charged month-
ly fees.
Put that on top of the fact we did away
with the videotape meetings, the common
knowledge we are now being investigated
by civil grand jury and, when you put it all
together, it creates this cloud that hangs
over everything, Bernardo said.
Brennan said her inquiries and detailed
questioning of staff and commissioners is
meant to dissipate that cloud. If there is
nothing wrong, the district has nothing
to worry about and, if it does, it needs to
be identified, she said.
The accounting issues are a red flag, for
example.
As a board member does it concern me?
Absolutely, she said.
Brennan feels where shes turning a
sharp eye to find improvement her col-
leagues prefer to look away and maintain
the status quo.
Sugarcoating is not dealing with it,
she said.
Requests, legal costs
But her questions come at a price both
figurative and literal, according to her
colleagues.
Tucker, who has worked hard on knock-
ing down the districts debt, was particu-
larly rankled by the legal fees he said
Brennan has racked up seeking opinions
and information that she can get else-
where. Tucker said he saved the district
about $10,000 in renegotiated deals but
that, within months of taking office,
Brennan had spent just as much on attor-
ney costs.
Two months in office and she lost that
$10,000. I was just livid, Tucker said.
Grenell said the $10,000 figure sounds
accurate off the top of his head. Since
Brennan joined the commission, legal
costs have increased in part because her
emails to the commission as a whole or
himself is often copied to the districts
general counsel, which is billed.
Brennan said she turns to the lawyers
and uses Public Records Acts requests
because Grenell and other staff are not
giving her the information she needs and
commission meetings grow lengthy
because that is the only time she can real-
ly ask questions.
Grenell said three-fourths of Brennans
requests are not tied to specific agenda
items and often covers a broad range of
topics and several years of documents like
all written correspondence with the
Coastal Commission related to a dredging
permit application. Once provided,
Grenell said he often fields requests from
Brennan to which hes already responded.
Its as if staff have to drop everything
and deal with these incessant requests,
Grenell said, adding that he and the staff
always respond but accumulating the doc-
ument-heavy answers can take longer
than what Brennan prefers.
Harassment complaints, friction
The dueling harassment complaints
leave Brennan too uncomfortable to
review documents like bills and claims at
the districts administration office and the
files are too large to email and hard copies
would be inappropriate. She said shes
offered to look at them at a neutral loca-
tion, like the attorneys office, but was
denied. Tucker and Parravano say they
understand it is Brennan who balked at the
opt i on.
Were trying to be accommodating to
her and she can go to a public office like
the rest of us but, because of the contro-
versy, she wont, Tucker said.
Brennan is not at liberty to discuss the
details of the harassment complaints but

said hers against Grenell is based
both on gender and sexual identity.
Grenell similarly deferred dis-
cussing the complaints.
She said the problems with Grenell
date back to her first failed bid to win
a Harbor District seat when he
allegedly phoned after she filed
paperwork and told her a preferred
candidate was already running for the
open seat.
Grenell called the claim untrue,
saying he would never make such a
statement. I dont get involved in
elections.
Once elected on her second
attempt, Brennan said the clashing
continued as early as her first closed
session meeting when a scheduled
performance evaluation of Grenell
turned into an opportunity for him
browbeating her. She feels within
her right sharing what happened at
the meeting because the commis-
sions lack of abiding by the agenda
is a violation of the Brown Act, she
said.
Grenell also denies Brennans ver-
sion and believes their friction may
stem back to his questioning candi-
date information she provided the
Smart Voter website about belonging
to a commission committee of which
only members can participate.
I dont know whether that is lin-
gering, but there was that contact,
Grenell said.
Public Records Act requests
Feeling stonewalled by the district
staff and her colleagues, Brennan
resorts to Public Records Act requests
to get answers and even then said
those are rarely a quick resolution.
Shes requested dozens which add
even more dollar signs to the legal
fees frustrating the other members.
She has generated costs because
of her presence, Parravano said.
When she doesnt have the
answers, such as the details about the
bills and clams, Brennan said she
cant even vote to approve the min-
utes because all she has is the limited
treasurers summary.
Who votes against the minutes?
Holsinger asked. What I see hap-
pening is Sabrina looking for prob-
lems when there are none.
Brennan disagrees.
Its not like Im asking for some-
thing that surprising, she said.
Brennan said her hands are tied and
the public is right to question the
districts apparent lack of trans-
parency because there is no video,
no minutes and useless podcasts.
One possibility to cut down on
Public Records Act requests is the
district increasing its transparency
like using an open government plat-
form where the public can look for
its own information, Brennan said.
Brennan isnt the only one bom-
barding the district with Public
Records Act requests. Ullum has made
numerous requests for financial docu-
ments like accounts receivable. The
requests are getting so voluminous
the boardmembers say the district is
considering hiring a new employee
only to handle the documents.
Ullum said the recall fight at the
Coastside Fire Protection District
stoked his interest in local issues
which ultimately drew him to the
Harbor District where he said the
board and staff are very arrogant and
piss people off although the fire
board was far more grandstanding and
out of control.
He calls Brennan pretty far left
for his personal taste but agrees with
some of her politics and the desire to
hold people accountable which is
why hes committed to public broad-
casting and repeatedly asking for
copies of financial records. Ullum
believes the district needs better
financial controls and calls its cur-
rent records sloppy. He said he
cant prove any wrongdoing yet and
thinks there is more negligence than
corruption but he intends to keep
l ooki ng.
The commissioners have varying
opinions of Ullum and his requests.
Tucker thinks a watchdog is never a
bad thing although he believes
Ullum is seeking a smoking gun.
Holsinger compares his search to the
Spanish Inquisition look for sin-
ners and wrongdoing and you will
find them. Parravano sees him con-
nected to Brennan, her mouthpiece
now that shes in office, and ques-
tions the result.
What has been found after all
these numerous requests? What has
that uncovered? he asked.
Brennan said she wouldnt have
necessary sought out items like the
accounts receivable reports herself
but did so after seeing Ullums push.
When you have a member so inter-
ested ... the board should be looking
at A/R, she said.
Grenell has a slightly different
take on Brennans interest.
She or anyone in those positions
have a perfect right and responsibil-
ity to be looking, no question about
it. But if you take that and put it in
the context of a years worth of con-
stant inquiries for large amounts of
data on all sort of subjects you have
to take a step back and say wait a
minute, he said. Isnt there some
other motivation underlying this?
He also said the district can pro-
vide Ullum his information but that
much of it relates to individuals
accounts and personal information
that must first be redacted.
Basically weve said we will
respond to the extent we can. Its
that simple, Grenell said.
Records destruction controversy
The districts latest brouhaha
raised its head at the Feb. 5 meeting
when the commission voted 5-0 to
hold off on destroying 20 boxes of
old records until after the civil grand
jury investigation. The item first
came up in January but Ullum pointed
out that some listed records werent
legally supposed to be shredded so
the staff put it over to the next meet-
ing. District staff later amended the
list to clarify that some of those
records are duplicate copies and not
originals.
Grenell said there is no reason not
to follow the routine destruction
schedule as all public agencies do.
It had absolutely nothing to do
with anybodys PRA requests. Its
just that we have boxes of stuff we
have to get rid of, Grenell said.
At the Wednesday meeting,
Brennan raised the idea of digital
archives and said scanning the docu-
ments would protect them in the
event the districts South San
Francisco administrative building
were to burn down.
Brennan also believes the alterna-
tive storage solution again high-
lights the technological divide at the
district.
After the meeting, Brennan said
during it she requested a staff report
on the California Fair Political
Practices Commission rules relating
to recusals and walked out of closed
session on fish-buying leases and
fees at 10 p.m. after Holsinger twice
called her a liar.
Going forward, the commissioners
say theyre not sure what will happen
with their personal dynamics but
know that somethings got to give.
We work together or we sink
together, Tucker said.
One change might come in
November with the election. Tucker
is up for re-election and hasnt said
publicly if hell run. But that answer
is still many months away.
We cant wait for an election to
get anything done, Brennan said.
Even so Bernardo concedes change
wont come quickly or easily.
Im president for the next six
months so Im just trying to be as
good a referee as I can be, Bernardo
said.

For a skater such as Polina Edmunds, a Bay Area resident
and 2014 Olympian, their requirements are often discussed
between parties and feedback is provided by the skater, or
those who work with her.
Polinas great, all the good ones are the best customers,
theyre not trying to blame the boot, but they just go out
there and do their thing. Polina has actually a soft boot that
has a lot of exibility, as she has the balance and muscle
strength to not only depend on the boot [for support], Kuhn
said.
Much of Kuhns time is spent on making modications to
lasts, foot molds that are used to help shape the dimensions
of a boot, after making line drawings of a skaters feet to take
into account any orthotics that need to be added into the boot
during the manufacturing process.
We talk a lot about pronation, thats when the arch attens
out and if their arch collapses inward then theyll press in on
the boot and their foot will subconsciously contract itself and
all these muscles will cramp up after 15 to 20 minutes, so
they require the orthotics or those wedges, just so, they not
only get better balance, biomechanics and alignment, they
can be pain-free. ... Its important to get the best t early on
[in a skaters career] so they dont develop [foot] problems
down the road.
Other modications come from customers who want addi-
tions or personal touches to their boots before theyre n-
ished.
A lot of it does come down to skater preference, whether
its a higher heel or their balance issues, thats why when I sit
here its almost like I have to read their feet and get a really
good feel, preferably its best to have them here ... because
Im not a mind reader.
Longtime business
Kuhn, along with his twin brother James and parents
Ginger and Phil, are involved in the current incarnation of an
enterprise thats gone on for the better part of a century.
The company was established in 1933 by a guy by name
of Louis Harlick, he was an old Russian shoemaker, he made
equestrian boots and ballet slippers, Kuhn said.
Harlick began making skating boots after he received
orders from the Ice Follies, a touring skating show compara-
ble in popularity with the Ice Capades, both based in the
same building in San Francisco.
Kuhns family began their involvement with Harlick when
Kuhns great-grandfather Bob Henderson and his brothers
bought the business and moved it San Carlos.
The factorys customer base has grown substantially from
then and they now commonly ship boots to Japan, South
Korea, Europe, Australia, South America, Mexico and Canada.
I think what built up [our customer base] was our attention
to detail, our customer service, the quality of materials and
manufacture, the craftsmanship, the comfort that comes with
our custom t and the noticed difference between stock boots
and what we offer, Kuhn said.
He calls the lead up to the Winter Olympics season, the
quiet before the storm because of so many people are caught
up in the sport that they decide to phone in orders to Harlick,
a post-Olympic shot in the arm, which is substantial as the
average pair of custom boots cost approximately $800 and
take 10-12 weeks to manufacture and ship.
Industry ebbs and flows
Along with the success in equipping Olympic skaters, the
company has also produced skating boots for actors in lms
such as Jon Heder and Will Ferrell in Blades of Glory,
Michelle Trachtenberg in Ice Princess and Dwayne
Johnson in Tooth Fairy.
Skating has seen its ebb and ows, just like the industry
itself, it seems like every time theres a tragedy in skating ...
any time theres added media attention, it brings attention to
the sport, he said.
Phil Kuhn, president of Harlick Skating Boots, has been a
mainstay of the company for more than 36 years and has
extensive experience with its decorated customer base and the
industry over the years after traveling to national competi-
tions in cities such as Boston, Detroit and New York City.
Its been fun to work with people such as Kristi
Yamaguchi, Brian Boitano, Polina Edmunds. ... I mean see-
ing these kids, rst working with them as children ... to see
them develop and become Olympic gold medalists, Polinas
not there yet, but shes close ... [has been enjoyable], he
said.
Phil Kuhn has been running the factory since 2000, when
his partners Sam Swartz, Dan Doud and Glenn Henderson
retired a long way from his beginnings working in the
mail and inspecting boots.
I enjoy the face-to-face [meetings], thats what makes
Harlicks so great, is we can evolve, we can change with the
situation, not one kind of boot is going to work for every-
body, and so we learn a lot talking to coaches and skaters,
getting their input, what they think would be good. ... What
their ideas are, and see if I can make that idea come into real-
ity, he said.
Harlick Skating Boots is located at 893 American St. in
San Carlos.

NEW YORK While several
Olympic sponsors have spoken out
against Russias restrictions on gay
rights ahead of the Sochi Winter
Games, Chevrolet is rolling out two
ads during the U.S. broadcast of the
opening ceremony on Friday that fea-
ture gay couples.
The ads are the rst to feature gay
couples during an Olympic broadcast,
according to GLAAD, an advocacy
group for the lesbian, gay, bisexual
and transgender community. They also
come at a time when a fairly new Russia
law banning gay propaganda from
reaching minors has drawn strong
international criticism ahead of the
Games.
Three sponsors of the U.S. Olympic
Committee AT&T, DeVry University
and yogurt maker Chobani have
spoken out explicitly against the
Russian law. Other companies that
have remained silent on the issue have
been criticized on social media. And
there have been calls for a boycott of
the Sochi Games from gay activists
and others around the world.
Chevy, a unit of General Motors Co.
that is not an ofcial sponsor, didnt
comment on the Russian laws speci-
cally, instead saying in a statement
that these ads ... are not intended as
any political commentary.
But some advertising experts say the
commercials make a pretty clear state-
ment. Actions speak louder than
words, said Allen Adamson, manag-
ing director of the New York ofce of
branding rm Landor Associates. The
action of putting a spot on the
Olympics is far more powerful than a
press release. Its a very clear state-
ment of what they believe Chevy
stands for.

Attempt to hijack
Turkish plane to Sochi foiled
ANKARA, Turkey A Ukrainian
man tried to hijack a Turkey-bound
ight to Sochi, Russia, as the Winter
Olympics were kicking off Friday, but
the pilot tricked him and landed in
Istanbul instead, where he was stealth-
ily detained after a four-hour stand-off
on a plane full of passengers, an of-
cial said.
The hijacking drama came as the
Winter Olympics opened in the
Russian resort city, with thousands of
athletes from around the world pouring
into the tightly secured stadium amid
warnings the games could be a terror-
ism target.
ATurkish F-16 ghter was scrambled
as soon as the pilot on the Pegasus
Airlines ight from Kharkiv, Ukraine,
with 110 passengers aboard signaled
there was a hijacking attempt, accord-
ing to NTV television.
