San Mateo aiming for sustainable streets

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
City Council to vote on long-term transportation planning
Those who walk, bike or drive

in San Mateo could slowly notice
changes in the citys well-used
transportation network as the
City Council is poised to approve
the long-term Sustainable Streets
Plan.
With every street needing to be

repaved at least once in the next
50 years, the document will serve
as a policy guide for future transportation planning, said Ken
Chin, Public Works project manager.
By Samantha Weigel
The guideline covers a broad

range of topics such as promoting
safety, managing future demands,
balancing multi-modal needs and
incorporating green features such
as implementing landscaped street
designs that divert stormwater
runoff. But perhaps the most

important and timeless highlight
of the nearly 700-page report is
Vision Zero, Chin said.
One of the best things, in my
mind, that comes out of this plan
is the concept and the movement
towards the Vision Zero goal. And

Vision Zero is basically no loss of
life is acceptable, whether youre
driving, riding a bicycle or
whether youre walking. The fact

RENDERING COURTESY OF HCP INC.
An artists rendering of the HCP Inc. project at Britannia Cove in South San Francisco expected to become 884,000 square
feet of offices, a hotel, retail and a parking structure.
The South San Francisco Unified School District developed

a plan to address the disproportionate amount of black students being suspended or placed in special education programs.
According to the report, unanimously approved Feb. 13 by
the Board of Trustees, black students are disproportionately
more likely to be suspended or identified as suffering from a
specific learning disability based on the enrollment demographics of the district.
A team of district officials, including Superintendent
Alejandro Hogan and Associate Superintendent Shawnterra
Moore, drafted the recommendations to the Board of Trustees
for approval, after conducting interviews with focus groups
comprised of community members.
Black students are identified for special education almost
twice as frequently as to be expected, according to their per-

Construction begins on large project in South San Francisco
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
South San Francisco officials are

enthusiastic about construction
beginning on a massive business
complex near Britannia Cove at
Oyster Point.
HCP Inc. started the first phase of
construction on what is expected to
become 884,000 square feet of office
space, spread across seven buildings
about four or five stories high, along
with a hotel, 20,000 square feet of
retail space including a restaurant and
a nine-story parking structure.

According
to
Jonathan
Bergschneider, an executive vice
president at HCP Inc., groundbreaking is underway and the company
pulled building permits last week.
He said the first phase of construction will be 253, 000 square feet
spread across two buildings. Steel
will probably be set for the buildings
in July.
Bergschneider said he expects companies to begin occupying the building around August of next year.
Councilwoman Liza Normandy said
in an email the city is thrilled for the

project to get underway.
The HCP Development better
known as Britannia Cove at Oyster
Point was one of first actions that I
had taken on council and I am very
excited about this project, said
Normandy, who joined the council in
late 2013.
Mayor Rich Garbarino echoed those
sentiments, and said that he is optimistic the project will attract more
companies to build in the region.

in several colleges, he had little in
common with the academic poets of

himself after Walt Whitman as a poet
of everyday experience and cosmic
wonder, writing tactile, conversational poems about his childhood, living
in Spain, marriage and parenting and
poetry itself.
Weve lost a great presence in
American poetry, said Edward Hirsch, a
friend of Levine and president of the
Guggenheim Foundation. Levine captured the ways ordinary people are
extraordinary, while writing poems that
are accessible to readers, Hirsch said.
They move between the most ordinary
diction and high romantic heights.

Leidesdorff Alley
W
illiam A. Leidesdorff, born 1812,

left New York harbor in January
1841. He was a native of the
Dutch Island of St. Croix in the West Indies.
And he was now captain of the schooner
Julia Ann. He wanted to avoid the dreaded
Cape Horn by going through the Straits of
Magellan. His owner of the schooner, John
Coffin Jones, planned to meet him at
Panama City and Leidesdorff was to take
him to Monterey. Jones waited two months
at Panama before Leidesdorff arrived with
his cargo. The weather made the trip late and
with sails you were at the mercy of the winds
and hurricanes.
Leidesdorff was the bastard son of a
unmarried mulatto woman who had five
other children. He was raised by a plantation owner who provided him with a good
education and a English accent. He was
smart, good looking and enjoyed dressing
well. After being sent to New Orleans to
learn the cotton business, he fell in love
with a girl from a prominent family who
wouldnt let them get engaged until he had
learned the cotton business and he could
support himself. When the planter died
unexpectedly, he found out that he had left
his fortune to William. When he finally
confessed to his girl that he was the son of
an unmarried mulatto, his girl broke off
their engagement that her father had
approved after William had received a lot of
money.

HISTORY MUSEUM
Leidesdorff prospered and built the City Hotel,

the first hotel in Yerba Buena.
Heartbroken, Leidesdorff decided to be a
sailor like his father and was going to ply
the trade between the East Coast and the
West Coast. When he arrived, in 1841, at
the crude settlement of Yerba Buena, he recognized the potential of trading in cow
hides, tallow and horns with the businessmen from the East. He prospered and was
able to buy waterfront land and build a large

and impressive residence at what become
California and Montgomery streets. He
built a large and impressive adobe warehouse to store his goods in at what was to
become the foot of Pine Street. He had continued to captain the ship, Julia Ann, and he
prospered in smuggling goods, to avoid
high taxes, to the West Coast as many other
captains did.
To own land, you had to be a Mexican citizen and a Catholic. He became a citizen and
acquired a 35,000-acre land grant, Rancho
de los Americanos. It was situated along the
American River and included the present
city of Folsom. He acquired land by
Lafayette also. The U. S. States Consul
Thomas O. Larkin named him vice consol,
which allowed him to keep in tabs with the
political scene for Larkin. Sutter became his
friend and he bought and sold goods with
him as well as loan him money.
Leidesdorff continued buying lots and he
built the City Hotel at Kearny and Clay
streets to serve the increased influx of men
going to the gold fields. This building
turned out to be the most popular building in
Yerba Buena/San Francisco where most of
the city business took place. He also took
part in local politics, served as treasurer of
Yerba Buena and became a member of the
newly established City Council and school
board. He was the first person to organize
formal horse racing in San Francisco (formally Yerba Buena).

SAN FRANCISCO This much is not in

dispute. William Richards wife, Pamela,
was strangled and her skull smashed in the
summer of 1993. A California jury convicted Richards of the slaying after hearing
now-recanted bite-mark testimony.
But California judges have disagreed
about whether that change in testimony was
grounds for tossing Richards conviction.
Now, almost two decades after Richards was
sentenced to 25 years to life in prison, his
attorneys are hopeful a new state law
inspired by his case will set him free.
The law, which took effect in January,
makes it easier for a defendant to get a conviction overturned when experts recant
their testimony. It prompted attorneys for
the 65-year-old Richards, who has always
maintained his innocence, to again ask the
California Supreme Court to throw out a
jurys guilty verdict.
Legal experts say the law will impact a

wide variety of cases where experts later
have second thoughts about their testimony. And it gives attorneys fighting to exonerate their clients an important new tool.
More and more, experts are reconsidering their opinion not because they have
pangs of guilt, but because in fact the science changes, said Laurie Levenson, a
criminal law professor at Loyola Law
School. You want a legal system that recognizes that reality.
A San Bernardino County jury convicted
Richards in 1997 of first-degree murder following expert testimony that a mark on his
wifes hand was consistent with a unique
feature of Richards teeth. That expert, a
forensic dentist, later recanted, saying he
was no longer sure the injury was even a bite
mark.
A San Bernardino County judge overturned Richards conviction, but a state
appeals court reinstated it.

Medi-Cal program grows to 12 million

By Judy Lin
SACRAMENTO
Since
California embraced the federal
health care overhaul, the states
Medicaid program for the poor has
added more than 2.7 million people, a surprisingly high number
that has left the state to grapple
with making sure there are enough
doctors to care for all of them.
Medi-Cal, the $95 billion joint
federal-state program, covers 12
million people nearly one in
every three residents for their
doctor visits, hospital care, pregnancy-related services, as well as
some nursing home care, making
California the largest health care
purchaser in the state.
The figure accounts for 17 percent of the nations Medicaid
enrollment,
even
though
California has 12 percent of the
U.S. population. Lawmakers and
advocates say the safety net program has grown so big, so fast
that without major fixes,
California wont be able to provide quality health care for its
poor.
Medi-Cal is turning into an
empty promise with an insurance
card, said Molly Weedn, a
spokesman for We Care for
California, a coalition of doctors,
hospitals, health plans and labor
unions pushing for higher payment rates. Democratic Sen. Ed
Hernandez of La Puente and
Assemblyman Rob Bonta of
Alameda plan to introduce legislation Wednesday to raise rates.
Even though the federal government has injected billions into

Carjacker thwarted by confusion over stick shift
CONCORD Police in Northern California say a man
attempting an armed carjacking bailed when he couldnt
drive a stick shift.
Concord police Lt. Tim Runyon told the Contra Costa
Times that the owner got into his car early Sunday to find
the carjacker in the passenger seat, apparently in the middle
of a burglary. Runyon says the carjacker ordered the victim
at gunpoint to drive him to another location, where he
forced the owner out of the car. Runyon says the carjacker
tried to drive off, but gave up when he couldnt operate the
manual transmission.
California, doctors and hospitals

say the state continues to pay
much less than private insurance
or Medicare for medical services.
Thats meant fewer primary care
doctors and specialists are willing
to treat Medi-Cal patients.
According to the California
HealthCare Foundation, a health
care philanthropy based in
Oakland, 76 percent of primary
physicians accept new patients
through private insurance, but
only 57 percent accept new MediCal patients. The result is that
more Medi-Cal patients are ending
up in emergency rooms, which is
more expensive and doesnt provide ongoing care for serious diseases and illnesses, according to
We Care for California.
Dr. Marc Futernick, who directs
emergency services at California
Hospital in downtown Los

Angeles, said one Medi-Cal
patient with advanced colon cancer came into his emergency room
four times in five weeks because
he was unable to see an oncologist
or get the chemotherapy treatments he needed.
As Democratic legislative leaders look for ways to spend more
on social services, Gov. Jerry
Brown and Republican lawmakers
fret about the states ability to pay
for its commitments. Medi-Cal
costs grew 4.3 percent from $17.8

Teens getting less and less sleep

By Lindsey Tanner
CHICAGO U.S. teens are getting

sleepier: Many lack even seven hours
of shut-eye each night and the problem
has worsened over two decades, a study
found.
More than half of kids aged 15 and
older would need to sleep at least two
hours more each night to meet recommendations for adequate rest, heightening concerns about the impact on
their health and academic performance. Thats according to researchers
who analyzed the University of
Michigans annual Monitoring the
Future national surveys of youth
behavior.
The study involved nearly 300,000
teens asked in 1991-2012 surveys if
they regularly got at least seven hours
of sleep nightly and enough sleep.
Results were published in Mondays
Pediatrics.
Experts generally recommend nine
or 10 hours of sleep for teens; over

half of the 15- to 19-year-olds surveyed in 2012 said they didnt even
get seven hours each night.
Declines in nightly sleep were seen
in teens of all ages during the two
decades. The biggest drop was among
15-year-olds just over half the kids
this age reported at least seven hours
nightly in 1991, versus less than 43
percent in 2012. Also, about 30 percent of 15-year-olds reported getting
what they considered enough sleep in
1991, versus 24 percent in 2012.
Reports were slightly better for
younger teens and worse for the oldest
teens.
In most surveys, girls and nonwhites were the least likely to report
seven hours of sleep.
Reasons for the trend are uncertain
but lead author Katherine Keyes, a
Columbia University public health
researcher, said factors that might
have contributed include increasing
use of social media, smartphones and
other electronics, and rising rates of

obesity, which has been linked with
sleep deprivation.
Other research has suggested that
early school start times play a role and
advocates have been pushing for later
times for teens.
Kids who dont get enough sleep are
at risk for mood problems, depression,
memory and learning difficulties and
poor grades, said psychologist Daniel
Lewin, a sleep specialist at Childrens
National
Medical
Center
in
Washington, D.C. He said about 40
percent of U.S. high schools start
classes before 8 a.m. early morning
hours that are teens optimal sleep
period.
The researchers say improving
teens understanding of how much
sleep they need, and the consequence
of not getting enough, could help.
They also say reversing the trend will
require public health efforts to raise
awareness about the importance of
sleep for teens.

2020. The Brown administration
projects it will cost $1.7 billion
more for the state to cover the 10

Flurry of sign-ups at health law deadline

WASHINGTON After a computer glitch was patched up, supporters of President Barack
Obamas health care law were out
in force Sunday trying to get uninsured people signed up by the official deadline for 2015 coverage.
The effort had the trappings of a
get-out-the-vote drive, with email
reminders, telephone calls and
squads of community-level volunteers.
You cant avoid it: TV, radio,
church, wife, kids, co-workers,
said Ramiro Hernandez, a previously uninsured truck repair shop
owner who enrolled himself and
his family in Joliet, Illinois, on
Saturday.
Technicians anxiously moni-
tored the HealthCare.gov website

for any new bugs. The administration provided no numbers on
weekend sign-ups.
New York, which is running its
own insurance market, announced
a two-week extension for anyone
who has already started an application. Federal officials had said
they, too, would allow extra time
for people to finish in the 37
states served by HealthCare.gov.
But officials have not said how
long that grace period will be.
The health law offers subsidized
private coverage to people without access to it on the job. Health
and Human Services Secretary
Sylvia M. Burwell has set a
nationwide target of 9.1 million
people enrolled and paying premiums in 2015. Some experts say
thats too modest. Nonpartisan

congressional analysts have estimated 12 million people will sign
up in the new insurance markets.
Overall, we are really pleased
with turnout, said John Gilbert,
national field director for Enroll
America, a nonprofit that works
closely with the administration.
We expect that this will be a big
number here at the end.
Officials held their breath
Saturday when a technical problem knocked out the income verification system. Gilbert said consumers were getting a yellow
screen that would not let them
continue. Website woes made
headlines last year, a major embarrassment for a tech-savvy White
House.
Income verification, which the
IRS handles, is
crucial to the
ap p l i cat i o n
process. The
subsidies that
most
people
get to help pay
their premiums
are based on
Barack Obama how much they
make.
The
problem popped up late in the
morning.
At first it seemed like no one
could get through, said Gilbert.
Then it started improving. It
improved throughout the afternoon and then it was completely
resolved. Consumers who got
snagged by the glitch will have
extra time to finish their applications.
The sign-up deadline in states

served by the federal marketplace
is 2:59 a.m. Eastern time Monday.
Some states running their own
exchanges have different deadlines.
This year theres a big question
mark hanging over the enrollment
drive, and it has nothing to do
with technology.
Early next month, the Supreme
Court will hear arguments on
another challenge to Obamas law.
The plaintiffs in the case say the
literal wording of the law only
allows the federal government to
offer subsidies in states that set up
their own insurance markets.
Most states have not done so.
If the court sides with the plaintiffs, millions of people would
lose financial assistance.
Gay marriage Snowstorm slams New England

fight echoes
states battles
MONTGOMERY,
Ala.
Alabama Chief Justice Roy

Moores judicial building office
overlooks Montgomerys Dexter
Avenue, a history-soaked thoroughfare topped by the Alabama
Capitol where Jefferson Davis was
inaugurated president of the
Confederacy and where the Rev.
Martin Luther King, Jr. ended the
1965 march for voting rights.
Ghosts of slavery
As gay and lesbian couples left a
nearby courthouse clutching marriage licenses last week, Moore,
an outspoken critic of gay marriage, was fighting to stop the
weddings using a states rights
argument that conjured up those
historical ghosts of slavery, the
Civil War and the battle against
desegregation. There has been
resistance in other states to the tide
of rulings allowing gay marriage.

Some Florida clerks offices
scrapped all marriage ceremonies
rather than perform same-sex
unions.
In South Carolina and Georgia,
legislation is being developed to let
individual employees opt out of issuing marriage licenses to gay couples
out of sincere religious belief.
As far as Alabama
No state, however, went as far as
Alabama, where the 68-year-old
Moore instructed the states probate judges not to issue marriage
licenses to gay couples.
Its my duty to speak up when I
see the jurisdiction of our courts
being intruded by unlawful federal
authority, Moore said.
Moore objected to a Jan. 23 ruling in Mobile that Alabamas gay
marriage ban violates the 14th
Amendments guarantee of equal
protection and due process.
BOSTON Another weekend,

another major snowstorm: The latest system to sweep the Northeast
brought another foot to Boston
on top of 6 feet that has fallen
over the last month and tested
New Englanders who say the winter is beginning to feel like one
without end.
Even after the storm, forecasters
warned of exceptionally cold air,
perhaps the coldest in years.
Strong winds that were expected to
continue into Monday reduced visibility, created drifts and complicated an ongoing cleanup effort.
Forecasters were talking about
another storm on the horizon for

midweek.
Its historic. Its biblical, attorney Frank Libby said he walked
down a deserted street in Bostons
Back Bay neighborhood. I think
were in uncharted territory. People
just dont know how to deal with the
logistics of it.
A bone-chilling blast of cold,
with lows of minus-10 degrees was
in the Sunday night forecast in
parts of the region. The temperatures are expected to be the coldest
of the season, according to the
National Weather Service.
Were dropping below zero and
wind chills will be dropping to 20
below and maybe minus-25 by
morning, said National Weather

Service
meteorologist
Bill
Simpson. People should take it
seriously. It is the coldest in
Massachusetts in many years.
The Arctic cold front already had
settled over Michigan by midday
Sunday, sending temperatures
plunging to minus-27 in the
Upper Peninsula.
Allan Tufankjian of Scituate,
Massachusetts, said its discouraging every time he looks at the
forecast. If saw one day that was
above freezing, Id be very
happy, he said. I looked seven
days ahead and every single day,
the highest temperature I could see
is 26 degrees.
U.S. proposes rules for the era of drones

WASHINGTON Drone on, the

government says.
Just not through the night sky.
Or close to an airport. Or out of the
operators sight. And probably
not winging its way with a pizza
or package, any time soon.
Long-anticipated rules proposed
Sunday will open an era in which
small (under 55 pounds) commer-
cial unmanned aircraft perform

routine tasks crop monitoring,
aerial photography, inspections
of bridges and cell towers, and
much more.
But not right away. Final rules
are probably two to three years
away.
And when they are in place, they
may include a separate category
with fewer restrictions for very
small drones, likely to be defined
as less than 4.4 pounds.

The
Federal
Aviation
Administration released a variety
of proposed requirements for commercial operators to meet, such as
passing a knowledge test administered by the agency as well as a
federal security check. The small
drones could travel as fast as 100
mph, at altitudes of 500 feet or
lower. Flights over crowds would
be prohibited.

THE DAILY JOURNAL
Video shows IS militants beheading hostages

the Egyptian government and the Coptic

Church, which is based in Egypt, both
declared it authentic.
The Egyptian government declared a
seven-day mourning period and President
Abdel Fattah el-Sissi addressed the nation
late Sunday night, pledging resilience in
the fight against terrorism.
CAIRO A video purporting to show the

mass beheading of Coptic Christian
hostages was released Sunday by militants
in Libya affiliated with the Islamic State
group.
The killings raise the possibility that the
Islamic militant group which controls
about a third of Syria and Iraq in a selfdeclared caliphate has established a
direct affiliate less than 500 miles (800
kilometers) from the southern tip of Italy.
One of the militants in the video makes
direct reference to that possibility, saying
the group now plans to conquer Rome.
Corwardly actions
Coptic Christians
The militants had been holding 21
Egyptian Coptic Christians hostage for
weeks, all laborers rounded up from the city
of Sirte in December and January. It was not
clear from the video whether all 21 hostages
were killed. It was one of the first such
beheading videos from an Islamic State
group affiliate to come from outside the
groups core territory in Syria and Iraq.
The Associated Press could not immediately independently verify the video. But
REUTERS
Men in orange jumpsuits purported to be Egyptian Christians held captive by the Islamic
State (IS) kneel in front of armed men along a beach said to be near Tripoli, in this still image
from an undated video made available on social media on Sunday.
These cowardly actions will not undermine our determination said el-Sissi, who
also banned all travel to Libya by Egyptian
citizens and said his government reserves
the right to seek retaliation. Egypt and the
whole world are in a fierce battle with
extremist groups carrying extremist ideology and sharing the same goals.
The church urged followers to have confidence that their great nation wont rest
without retribution for the evil criminals.
The videos makers identified themselves
as the Tripoli Province of the Islamic State
group. A still photo, apparently taken from
the video, was published last week in the
Islamic State groups Dabiq online magazine indicating a direct connection
between the Libyan militants and the main
group.
Police say Copenhagen gunman had criminal record, gang past

COPENHAGEN, Denmark
The suspected gunman killed by
police after shooting attacks
against a free speech event and
outside a Copenhagen synagogue
was 22 years old and had a background in criminal gangs, police
said Sunday.
The suspect was born in
Denmark and had a criminal
record, including violence and

weapons offenses, Copenhagen
police said in a statement. They
didnt release his name.
A Danish film maker attending a
panel discussion on blasphemy
was killed in the shooting
Saturday at the free speech event
and a member of the Scandinavian
countrys Jewish community was
killed outside the synagogue. Five
police officers were also wounded
in the shootings.
Police believe the suspect carried out both shootings alone but
were investigating whether he had
received help from others.
Denmark has been hit by terror, Danish Prime Minister Helle
Thorning-Schmidt said. We do
not know the motive for the
alleged perpetrators actions, but
we know that there are forces that
want to hurt Denmark. They want

Jens Madsen, head of the Danish

investigators believe the gunman
was inspired by Islamic radicalism.
PET is working on a theory
that the perpetrator could have
been inspired by the events in
Paris. He could also have been
inspired by material sent out by
(the Islamic State group) and oth-
ers, Madsen said.

Islamic radicals carried out a
massacre at the Charlie Hebdo
newsroom in Paris last month,
followed by an attack on Jews at a
kosher grocery store, taking the
lives of 17 victims.

OPINION
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Guest perspective
I am Chapel Hill
By Mallika Kaur
his time the shots were red in

North Carolina, and I joined
many others in feeling the
recoil in Northern California.
That night, sitting in the car with
my turbaned Sikh husband at a gas
station, I oscillated between two feelings that capture the range of my
response: outrage at my fearless self
for intuitively turning around twice to
stare across the empty lling station
and sadness staring down at my phone
at an article I had shared on social
media that identied this gunman as
an atheist repeatedly, to strengthen
its point that terrorists of different
touted beliefs are treated differently.
As a Sikh, woman and human rights
lawyer, I am seeking three things that
should not be mutually exclusive:
respect for the deceased and their families; immediate acknowledgment of
the larger context of this act of terror;
and fair legal process for the arrested
gunman.
Three bright young lives were lost
in Chapel Hill in this execution that
has sent waves of terror across the
country. The outrage in many circles
is not simply because many
Americans can relate to the social
media photographs of these young
people at ball games, in a white wedding dress during a father-daughter
dance, or wearing a graduation cap and
gown. It is also because too many
have known the fear of living while
brown or Muslim, Sikh, Middle
Eastern or South Asian since 9/11.
The rst Sikh

American death in
the country happened at an Arizona
gas station by a
self-proclaimed
patriot.
For the world to
recognize the legacy of the three
young people lost, as their relative
Dr. Suzanne Barakat hoped aloud on
live television on Wednesday night,
its important for the world to be rstly outraged at the targeting and
killing of anyone based on their identity.
Secondly, we need a robust discussion about how such identity-based
targeting exists in many forms much
before it ever becomes a legally recognized hate crime.
These executions force the conversation that we have largely refused to
have since the executions at Charlie
Hebdo media ofces in France. A conversation about proportional
responses to all civilian deaths and
all acts of terror. A conversation
about how few non-Muslim world
leaders other than Pope Francis chastised (ab)use of the hard-won freedom
of expression to bully or abuse other
traditions; how a spokesman had to
then explain the popes own exercise
of free speech by reiterating obvious
condemnation of the murders. How
the European literati has ironically
swallowed the if you are not with us
[loudly, every time], you are against
us they once ridiculed. As Americans,
more of us should have shunned this
approach on September 11, and many

of us need to actively shun it today.
Some of us will not because we
believe that people are inherently
unequal and civilizing the world
requires unleashing terror: many of us
are needed to shut down these few (be
they ISIS who President Obama has
declared war against or the white
supremacy groups that the Southern
Poverty Law Center has long warred
against).
Thirdly, the man arrested for these
murders has the right to a fair legal
trial. Being non-Muslim cannot win
the assailant a free pass. But neither
does it beget him the guillotine or
foregone conclusions or the power to
represent all atheists or all whites
everywhere. Falling for those tropes
disrespects the memory of Yusor
Mohammad Abu-Salha, Deah Shaddy
Barakat, and Razan Mohammad AbuSalha and solidies the divides that
other recent reactions against terror
have regretfully poked. The killings
must be investigated for hate, while
each of us investigates our personal
ability to question racism, xenophobia, and extremism before it gets
deadlier.

Favoring young families
on the City Council
Editor,
I disagree with Sue Lempert favoring retirees for the City Council
(Column, Politics in San Mateo just
got very interesting in the Feb. 2
edition of the Daily Journal).
It is important to have people with
young families on the council. Those
with kids in our schools are particularly in tune with the needs of young
families. As the city embarks upon a
period of growth, it is their children
who are the intended beneciaries of
many of the decisions being made
today.

Editor,
A long time ago I learned that,
given any topic, there will always be
a subset of the population opposed to
it. So it is with vaccination.
Suppose that tomorrow a worldwide
group of respected scientists proves
that a newborn who drinks four
ounces of strawberry juice will be
absolutely protected from all forms of
cancer, but there is a one in 10 million chance it could result in blindness. While most of us might think,
Hey, thats great, we just eliminated
cancer, there are those who would
oppose it.
It takes away the babys choice.
It interferes with Gods law.
Science is just a bunch of theories
and lies. The government has no
right to intrude on private lives.

A salute to a
good citizen
H
eres saluting a young man who typifies a good
citizen. Someone who cares about those in need
and does something about it.
Fourteen-year-old Brendan Callagy of San Mateo, a
student athlete at St. Gregorys Catholic School, found
out that many children in Pescadero didnt have the typical sports equipment he and his peers enjoyed. So he
lugged a bin into the hallway at St. Gregorys and hyped
a sports equipment drive for South Coast children to his
fellow students. Soon the bin was full of hockey sticks,
basketballs, volleyballs,
baseballs and skateboards.
***
Callagys source was
family friend Mary
McMillan who sits on the
board of Puente. Its a
nonprofit which provides
vital services for men,
women, children and families living in the rural
San Mateo South Coast
communities of Pescadero,
La Honda, Loma Mar and
San Gregorio. McMillan,
former deputy county manager and indispensable
right hand for many years,
reported that All in all, more than 200 sports items
ended up at Pescadero High. Brendan and his family (parents Mark and Laura and five Callagy children) also canvassed their garage and harvested several years worth of
reusable equipment.
Brendan explained that felt extremely good. There
was that bat I donated, my favorite bat when I was
younger. I was hoping another kid could use it and hit
lots of good hardballs.
One duffel bag from Callagy and his fellow students
included 30 baseball gloves, enough to start a Little
League in Pescadero. Amy Wooliever, superintendent for
the La Honda-Pescadero Unified School District, said
the equipment that Brendan collected will be put to
good use in the school athletic program as well as the
new elementary program which pairs our PE teacher with
an athletic coach to teach team sport skills to our
younger students. Pescadero children do not have access
to the organized sports programs that other larger communities support. This new LHPUSD class, combined
with the equipment, will help students build skills and
confidence, often barriers to fully participating in
sports in middle and high schools.
***
But Brendan didnt stop there. His next project was
another donation drive this time sweatshirts for
the workers who come in from the fields cold and wet.
His school donated 110 sweatshirts. And just before
Christmas, he learned about Puentes annual holiday
effort to collect stocking stuffers for the youngest children on the coast. So he put the word out for donations
of Hot Wheels and socks. He soon sent McMillan 100
of each.
We hear a lot of negative things about young people
today. But there are a few like Brendan who makes us
proud.
***
It probably wont win an Oscar for best picture and
best actor, but it should. American Sniper is a sobering and realistic depiction of Iraq-Afghanistan style
warfare. It is not a pro-war or anti-war film so the mixed
reactions to it are surprising. The movie celebrates the
real life story of Navy Seal Chris Kyle (played by
Bradley Cooper), a legendary sniper who saved many of
his colleagues lives. Kyle has to make some awful decisions, including killing civilians who are about to
throw explosives at his team. This is a realistic film.
There are no victories. And no happy endings. Even the
solider heroes who survive leave part of their identities,
body parts and minds in the war zone.
Kyle survives the war physically after four tours but is
killed at a Texas shooting range by a veteran he is trying to help.
***
Do you remember when we celebrated Washingtons
Birthday on Feb. 22 and Lincolns birthday on Feb. 12?
In 1870, Feb. 22 became a federal holiday and some
states celebrated Lincolns birthday. Then in 1968,
Congress passed the Uniform Holiday Act. It consolidated these two holidays into one Presidents Day on the
third Monday in February and changed other holidays to
Monday so workers could enjoy a three-day vacation.

GOP: Immigrants get amnesty bonuses

WASHINGTON Millions of
immigrants benefiting from
President Barack Obamas executive actions could get a windfall
from the IRS, a reversal of fortune
after years of paying taxes to help
fund government programs they
were banned from receiving.
Armed with new Social Security
numbers, many of these immigrants who were living in the U.S.
illegally will now be able to claim
up to four years worth of tax credits designed to benefit the working poor. For big families, thats a
maximum of nearly $24,000, as
long as they can document their
earnings during those years.
Some Republicans are labeling
the payments amnesty bonuses,
one more reason they oppose
Obamas program shielding millions of immigrants from deportation.
I represent hard working, lawbiding Texans, said Rep. Sam
Johnson, a senior Republican on
the House Ways and Means
Committee. I think these
amnesty rewards, and thats what
they are, need to be stopped.
Advocates argue that many of
these immigrants pay taxes, so
they should be able to claim the
same tax credits as anybody else.
Over the past decade, immigrants

in the U.S. illegally have paid an
estimated $100 billion in Social
Security payroll taxes, even
though few will ever be able to
collect benefits, said Stephen
Goss, Social Securitys chief actuary.
Executive orders
Obama has issued executive
orders shielding about 4 million
immigrants from deportation.
Some were brought to the U.S. as
children; others are parents of
children who are either U.S. citizens or legal residents.
Republicans
in
Congress
oppose Obamas actions and are
trying to use a funding bill for the
Department of Homeland Security
to overturn them. Democrats are
resisting, resulting in a stalemate
that is threatening to shut down
the department.
Funding for the department,
which oversees immigration
enforcement, runs out Feb. 27.
The dispute over tax credits
illustrates the complicated relationship that many immigrants
have with the U.S. tax system.
Social Security estimates that
immigrants living in the country
illegally work at about the same
rate as the rest of the population,
even though federal law bars them

from employment.
In general, they are less likely
to pay federal taxes. Those who do
have been boosting Social
Securitys finances for years.
How does Social Security know
when it receives taxes from immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally? There is no foolproof method,
Goss said. One way is by tracking
reported wages in which the Social
Security number does not match
the name the agency has on file.
Some of these are clerical errors
or unreported name changes, But
Goss estimates that a majority of
these wages come from immigrants who have made up Social
Security numbers or used someone
elses.
The numbers are huge.
From 2003 to 2012, the total
was nearly $750 billion in wages.
Tellingly, only 7 percent of these
wages are ever claimed and credited
to an actual worker, Goss said.
There are an estimated 11 million to 12 million immigrants in
the U.S. illegally. By law, you
must have a Social Security number to work in the U.S. But millions of people work without
them.
Some work in the underground
economy and do not report their
income to the government. For
those who work and pay federal

income taxes, the IRS provides
them with an Individual Taxpayer
Identification Number (ITIN).
Since 1996, the IRS has issued
21 million of these numbers.
About one-quarter of them are still
in use, the agency says.
The IRS accepts these tax
returns without reporting the taxpayers to immigration authorities, IRS Commissioner John
Koskinen said. That encourages
the workers to pay taxes.
Enforcement
We dont enforce the Social
Security laws, we dont enforce the
immigration laws, Koskinen said
of his agency. In fact, the reason
illegal immigrants file taxes with
us is they know we arent sharing
that data with anybody. We treat it
as taxpayer-protected information.
Even if these immigrants pay
taxes, they are ineligible for most
federal programs. They cannot
legally get food stamps, unemployment benefits, Pell grants or
federal student loans. They cannot
get Medicaid, except for emergency medical services, and are
ineligible for subsidies under
Obamas health law.
They can claim some federal tax
breaks, if they file tax returns.

But until now, they were not eligible for Social Security, Medicare
or the Earned Income Tax Credit
(EITC), one of the governments
largest anti-poverty programs.
Obamas executive actions will
offer Social Security numbers to
these immigrants, something that
eventually could make them eligible for Social Security and
Medicare. For Social Security, you
generally have to work and pay
payroll taxes for 10 years before
you qualify for retirement benefits.
More immediately, they can
take advantage of the EITC. Last
year, the credit provided lowincome workers with about $70
billion.
This credit is popular among
conservatives because it rewards
work the more you work, the
bigger your credit, as long as your
income does not exceed certain
limits.
It is popular among liberals
because it provides cash payments
to low-wage workers, even if they
do not make enough money to pay
federal income tax.
It is, however, a complicated
program to administer that generates a significant amount of
improper payments, according to
the IRSs own estimates.

Apple has confirmed that

If Apple does sell an electric car,

General Motors announced on

Hackers steal up to $1 billion from banks

By Mae Anderson
NEW YORK A hacking ring has

stolen up to $1 billion from banks
around the world in what would be one
of the biggest banking breaches
known, a cybersecurity firm says in a
report scheduled to be delivered
Monday.
The hackers have been active since
at least the end of 2013 and infiltrated
more than 100 banks in 30 countries,
according to Russian security company Kaspersky Lab.
After gaining access to banks computers through phishing schemes and
other methods, they lurk for months to

learn the banks systems, taking
screen shots and even video of
employees using their computers, the
company says.
Once the hackers become familiar
with the banks operations, they use
that knowledge to steal money without
raising suspicions, programming
ATMs to dispense money at specific
times or setting up fake accounts and
transferring money into them, according to Kaspersky. The report is set to
be presented Monday at a security conference in Cancun, Mexico. It was first
reported by The New York Times.
The hackers seem to limit their theft
to about $10 million before moving

on to another bank, part of the reason
why the fraud was not detected earlier,
Kaspersky
principal
security
researcher Vicente Diaz said.
The attacks are unusual because they
target the banks themselves rather
than customers and their account information, Diaz said.
The goal seems to be financial gain
rather than espionage, he said.
In this case they are not interested
in information. Theyre only interested in the money, he said. Theyre
flexible and quite aggressive and use
any tool they find useful for doing
whatever they want to do.

Snedeker sets record, wins at Pebble Beach

By Doug Ferguson
PEBBLE BEACH Brandt Snedeker

broke his own scoring record and won the
AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am for
the second time in three years.
Snedeker played bogey-free in the final
round Sunday and left the mistakes to everyone else. He closed with a 5-under 67 and a
three-shot victory over Nick Watney, and
the timing could not have been better.
Snedeker fell out of the top 50 at the end
of last year for the first time since 2011 and
was guaranteed of playing only one major and

him a spot in the

and
PGA
Championship (he already was eligible for
the U.S. Open). And he moves to No. 31 in
the world ranking, which most likely gets

him into all the WGCs, starting with Doral
in three weeks.
Im just so excited about whats next,
Snedeker said.
He made only one bogey in 72 holes of
glorious weather, as good as it gets at
Pebble Beach. And when he finally took the
lead after Watney made his worst swing of
the week a 4-iron right of the sixth fairway and into Stillwater Cove Snedeker
pulled away, taking all the drama out of the
final hour.
A conservative par on the final hole gave
him a 22-under 265, breaking the scoring

record by two shots that he set in 2013. He
also broke by two shots the score to par previously held by Phil Mickelson (2007) and
Mark OMeara (1997) when the par-72
Poppy Hills was still in the rotation.
Watney opened with four straight birdies,
but it was three bogeys in a five-hole
stretch at the turn that cost him. He rallied
with a pair of birdies for a 69 to secure second place alone, a good step for him getting
his game back in order.

James Harden added 29 points, eight

which built a 20-point lead in the first half
and then pulled away after it was tied at 148
with a little more than 4 minutes remaining.
LeBron James finished with 30 points,
but couldnt lead the East to the victory in
his favorite NBA arena.
Dont get no better, man. You play in the
Garden in front of these fans, James said.
Hardens 3-pointer snapped the final tie
with 4:02 to play and Chris Paul followed
with consecutive baskets. Westbrooks fifth

The third Diekroeger brother to play

Stanford baseball officially debuted Saturday at
Sunken Diamond.
After not seeing action in Fridays season
opener, Mikey Diekroeger started at third base

4-3 extra-inning loss to Indiana. Stanford
bounced back Sunday to tab its first victory of
the season winning 4-3, again with
Diekroeger anchoring the hot corner.
Diekroeger made his

first collegiate at-bat one
to remember Saturday.
With base-runner Quinn

two outs, Diekroeger
fought off a 2-2 fastball
and flared a double down
the left-field line to drive
home Brodey.

was going to be foul,
Diekroeger said. I didnt really know it was
fair until my first base coach started yelling at

me: Two! Two! Two!
In the fifth, Diekroeger was hit by a pitch
and eventually scored on a double by Tommy
Edman. Diekroeger went 1 for 2 with an RBI, a
run scored and a hit by pitch in his debut.
With Diekroeger not playing Friday came
the end of a 218-game streak of Diekroeger
brothers playing at Stanford. His eldest
brother Kenny played from 2010-12,
appearing in 249 games. The middle brother Danny played from 2011-14, appearing
in 262 games.
All hail from Woodside and attended, and

played baseball, at Menlo School.
Both Kenny and Danny are currently professional baseball players and are set to soon
report to spring training with the Royals and
Cardinals, respectively. Both were on hand
Saturday, however, for their youngest brothers debut.
Being in the first game I was definitely a little bit nervous, Diekroeger said. But it was
kind of nice having that Friday, having a day
to soak it in. Then after my first at-bat I settled in and started to enjoy it.

Sharks continue to reel in 5-2 loss to Lightning

By Rick Eymer
SAN JOSE Steven Stamkos knew his

team needed to start the first of a five-game
road trip with plenty of energy.
He helped Tampa Bay do just that.
Stamkos scored his 30th goal of the season just before the end of the first period and
the Lightning beat the San Jose Sharks 5-2
on Sunday.
We looked at our past couple losses and
weve been down 2-0, 3-0, so we talked
about getting off to a good start, Stamkos

Alex Killorn, Ondrej Palat, Cedric

Tinker Bell brings gold for Edmunds Frances Grange

wraps up worlds
with slalom win
By Foster Klug
SEOUL, South Korea American

Olympian Polina Edmunds hopes her performance in rallying to win the Four
Continents championship Sunday sends a
message to the rest of the figure skating
world. Especially the powerful Russians.
Edmunds, who came into the free skate in
fourth place, hit the wrong edge on an early
combination, a triple flip-single loop-triple
salchow. But she landed most of her other big
jumps, including a late combination.
Skating to Tinker Bell by James Newton
Howard, the 16-year-old finished with 184.02
points.
The Four Continents provides a gauge for
skaters headers to next months world championships in Shanghai, but it doesnt include
powerful European skaters. The absent
Russians, who swept the medals at the
European championships earlier this year,
were on the minds of many.
I dont think that the Russians are stronger
than any one of us, said Edmunds, the second
youngest woman to win the event. Its
going to come down to the elements. Its
going to come down to how we perform. But
going into worlds Im optimistic that, hopefully, its not going to be all, The Russians
are coming!
Edmunds finished ninth at the Sochi Games
in her first senior international competition.
She believes her showing here could provide
a springboard for worlds.
Coming into this I wanted to skate well
because I knew it was a great opportunity for
me to gain momentum, Edmunds said. I
expected myself to skate well and I did. Im
happy I was awarded the gold medal for it.
Satoko Miyahara of Japan, first after the
short program, had an uneven free skate,
including a fall on a triple lutz. She took win
silver, with 181.59 points. The 16-year-old
skated to Miss Saigon.
I know the Russian girls are so strong,
Miyahara said, but I dont like to think about
other people. I just want to focus on myself.
She blamed her shaky free skate on a lack of
speed and power on her jumps.

57.47 seconds. Fritz
Dopfer of Germany was
Jean-Baptiste second, 0.35 seconds
Grange
behind, and teammate
Felix Neureuther earned bronze.
Even with Hirscher going out, the Austrians
easily won the medal race with nine, which
was four more than the Americans.
After Dopfer took over the lead, a local
choir group began practicing the German
national anthem in a nearby building. In mid
tune, though, they impressively switched
over to the French anthem as Grange took
over the top spot with a nearly flawless run.
Grange doesnt exactly have the warmest of
memories about this course. Sure, hes got one
World Cup podium finish at Beaver Creek
the super-combined in 2007 but he also
injured his right knee on the hill in 2009. It
kept him out of the 2010 Vancouver Games.
He quickly returned to his winning ways,
winning the 2011 world slalom title in
Germany.
Its a wonderful gift for all of these four
years many injuries, bad bib numbers, no
confidence sometimes, Grange said. You
know, skiing is always hard. But its easier
when youre on the podium and when you
win.
Hirscher, the defending champion, was
dropping time when he went out with the finish line in sight. He lifted up his goggles and
stared down the course in disbelief.
The 25-year-old Hirscher leaves Beaver
Creek with gold in the Alpine combined and
team event, along with a silver in the giant
slalom.
American Ted Ligety wound up 21st, 3.84
seconds behind Grange, as he struggled with
the snowy conditions.

Currys treys, LaVines jams highlight All-Star Saturday night

By Antonio Gonzalez
NEW YORK Stephen Curry honored a

fallen fan the best way he knew how. Zach
LaVine made a name for himself in a dunk
contest that lacked star punch.
Curry bested Golden State Warriors teammate Klay Thompson and six others to win
his first 3-point contest, and LaVine put on
a spectacular aerial display to take home the
dunk competition during a memorable AllStar Saturday night.
Curry paid homage to one of the three victims of the shooting in North Carolina,
writing a message to Deah Shaddy Barakat
on his sneakers for the shooting stars competition, then swapping those for a different
color pair for the 3-point contest. Barakat
was one of three Muslim college students
killed Tuesday in Currys home state.
ALL-STAR
seats at halftime. But the biggest roar came
for a star from another sport politics.
President Bill Clinton, who had a big night
of his own at Madison Square Garden when he
was nominated here during the 1992
Democratic National Convention, got a pair
of loud ovations when he was shown during
Queen Latifahs performance of the national
anthem.
Players were quizzed during comedic skits
on New York talk and terms, and fuhgeddaboudit, Pau Gasol had no idea what a stoop
was. (Stephen Curry knew it was a porch in
the front of a building).
Pau won the jump ball against little brother
Marc to begin the first All-Star game featuring
two sibling starters, but for a while it looked as
if that would be the Easts only win of the night.
wearing a white No. 23 Jordan jersey for

what he dubbed the Space Jam dunk.
On his second dunk, he tossed the ball up,
put it behind his back in the air and threw
down a powerful one-handed slam for another 50 from the Hall of Fame judges Julius
Erving, Walt Frazier, Nate Archibald,
Bernard King and Chris Mullin.
LaVine had a final round score of 94 to
overtake Orlandos Victor Oladipo, who
struggled to convert his first attempt in the
final and finished with a 72 in the championship round. LaVine became the first
Timberwolves player to win the dunk contest since Isaiah Rider in 1994.
Im still on cloud nine. I feel like Im
dreaming, LaVine said. Seeing all the
dunk contests and people hoisting the trophy, I just saw myself do it and lived it. So
its a dream come true. Im glad my family is
here to witness it and go through it.
It only seemed right to honor him and

his family, and hopefully they know that
people are thinking about them, Curry
said. Theyre not alone, and hopefully it
can give them some kind of peace and comfort knowing that he was a special guy. And
I just did my little part to shed light toward
him.
Curry said there were several connections
to the family that touched him.
He said Barakat did his wedding photo
similar to a magazine cover featuring Curry
and his wife, Ayesha. Barakat also wore a
No. 30 jersey Currys number in basketball leagues and some of Currys family
members even played pickup games with
Barakat in North Carolina.
They all spoke highly of him, Curry
said. Its a great platform to be on, but it
only seemed right.
Barakats wife, Yusor Mohammad Abu-
Salha, and her sister, Razan Mohammad

Abu-Salha, also were killed in the attack.
Craig Stephen Hicks, 46, has been charged
with three counts of first-degree murder in
their deaths.
Curry, the starting point guard for the
Western Conference in Sundays All-Star
game at Madison Square Garden, made sure
hed have the chance to shine a bright light
on Barakat and his family.
He scored 27 points in the final round.
Curry connected on 13 consecutive shots
until missing his final attempt, bringing
fans and celebrities roaring to their feet after
every swish at Brooklyns Barclays Center.
In the slam-dunk contest, LaVine left a
lasting impression few will forget.
The 19-year-old Timberwolves rookie
scored a perfect 100 in the opening round.
He highlighted his scintillating start with a
through-the-legs, one-handed reverse slam,
The West shot out to a 20-point lead, but

the East chipped away and cut it to 83-82
before pop star Ariana Grandes halftime performance.
It was New Yorks first time hosting the
weekend since 1998 and a rare journey to the
north for the NBA, which has preferred to
stage the festivities in the warmth of the
South and West.
Even some of the NBAs most fashionable
had to choose bundling up over dressing up, a
concession to the frigid temperatures they
faced during the weekend. But next year might
be worse, when the game heads north of the
border to Toronto.
Carmelo Anthony struggled to 14 points
on 6-of-20 shooting for the East in what may
have been his final game of the season. The
Knicks star has been battling a sore knee for
much of the season and may opt for surgery
with the team owning the NBAs worst record.
But even the Knicks misery couldnt dampen the spirts for this basketball-rich city.
Players on the floor were surrounded by some
of New Yorks hoops royalty, such as Kareem
Abdul-Jabbar and Julius Erving. There was

even time to celebrate the Knicks: Willis
Reed, Walt Frazier, Bill Bradley, Phil
Jackson, Earl Monroe and Bernard King were
honored during a break in the action.
Tim Duncan had one basket in his 15th AllStar Game, second only to Abdul-Jabbars 18.
Duncans first was here in 1998, as was Kobe
Bryants.
Bryant had to sit out along with Anthony
Davis and Blake Griffin, leaving the West
without three elected starters. But they had
more than enough talent left, not surprising
in another season where the West is the more
powerful conference from top to bottom.
East coach Mike Budenholzer played his
four Atlanta Hawks together in the first quarter, Al Horford joining Jeff Teague, Paul
Millsap and Korver.
I thought we would all be out there together quite a bit. We were kind of hand signaling

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Charlie Beljan closed with a 66 and
finished third.
Jim Furyk, the 54-hole leader,
didnt make his first birdie until the
11th hole. He missed three birdie
putts inside 10 feet on the front
nine, went out in 38, and was out of
the hunt halfway through the final
round. It was the ninth time Furyk
failed to convert when he had at
least a share of the 54-hole lead
since his last victory at the 2010
Tour Championship. Then again,
this was his first competition in
five months.
I only made two birdies today
and I hit the ball way better than
that, Furyk said. He tied for seventh, six shots behind, along with
Jordan Spieth and Matt Jones.
With a big crowd celebrating one
of the most beautiful weeks ever at
Pebble, the final round quickly
turned into a battle between
Snedeker and Watney.
Watney, thrilled at the chance to
play with San Francisco Giants
catcher Buster Posey, opened with
four straight birdies to build a twoshot lead. But on the par-3 fifth, a
photographer shot his camera at
the top of Watneys swing and he
flinched, coming up well short and
in a bunker. Watney made bogey,
and Snedeker rolled in a 15-foot
birdie putt for a two-shot swing to
tie for the lead.
GARY A. VASQUEZ/USA TODAY SPORTS
Brandt Snedeker tees off at the 17th hole during Sundays final round at
Pebble Beach en route to a record overall 22-under, 265.
It was a big putt for Snedeker, and
it was evident by the abrupt fist
pump when it dropped. He took the
lead on the next hole when Watney
pushed his approach over the edge
of the cliff and made bogey.
Watney never caught up. They
matched birdies on the seventh and
11th holes, and then Snedeker
pulled away with pars. Watney made
bogey from a fairway bunker on the
13th, and from behind the green on
the 14th to fall four shots behind.
I thought Brandt handled himself really, really well, Watney
said. Maybe in trouble one time,
but very solid. So thats what I need
to be like next time.

Torrey Pines winner Jason Day,
who opened with a 72 at Pebble
Beach in great scoring conditions,
got within two shots of the lead
until the putts stopped falling. He
closed with a 67 and tied for fourth
with Pat Perez (68) and Dustin
Johnson, who closed with a 66. It
was the second tournament for
Johnson since he returned from a
six-month leave of absence for
what he described only as a personal challenge.
Perez and Michael Lund, the cofounder of Pandora Jewelry, won the
pro-am competition at 42 under.

Raunchy Grey tops box office
speaks to their patrons really wanting to

see the film as soon as possible and be part
of what everyone is talking about.
According to Universal, North American
audiences were 68 percent female.
Internationally, director Sam TaylorJohnsons adaptation of E L James book
earned an estimated $158 million from
9,637 locations in 58 territories. Thats the

second biggest international opening for
Universal, right behind the $160.3 million
debut from Fast & Furious 6, and the highest international opening for an R-rated
film ever.
Those are summer-style blockbuster
numbers in February, said Paul
Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for
box office firm Rentrak.
Controversy, or at least the conversation thats created by Fifty Shades of Grey,
suddenly infuses this movie into the mainstream conversation, he added. They had
to very carefully create a movie that was
edgy, push the envelope, but without going
too far to make it socially unacceptable.
Director Matthew Vaughns Kingsman:
The Secret Service also exceeded expectations, landing in second place with an estimated $35.6 million from 3,204 locations
across the three-day period, according to
Rentrak.
The R-rated comic book adaptation starring Colin Firth and Samuel L. Jackson cost
a reported $81 million to produce and
should earn around $41 million across the
four-day period.

The
SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water

of the holiday weekend.

Rounding out the top five were holdovers

and Jupiter Ascending, with $9.4 million.
The Oscar-nominated American Sniper,

breaks? The answer lies somewhere in the

middle, with a slight edge to all day
long. While working on training
throughout the day may seem like a hassle, this approach will help your dog
develop good habits, as opposed to performing tricks. And, while tricks are fun,
most owners want good, consistent
behavior. Our trainers also prefer the
Nothing in Life is Free philosophy.
This means you never offer your dog a
treat, a chance to chase the ball (or anything else desirable) for free. You make
your dog earn the reward. If you train during specic times (for example, only during your weekly obedience class), your
dog may learn to behave only during that

time and be a total wild man outside of
class. Pulling out his leash or putting him
in the care to drive to his weekly class
may be his cue to behave, but just for a
short time. The key is looking at daily
interactions with your dog and realizing
all possible teaching moments. Take the
simple act of petting. If you are petting
him when hes jumping up or barking, you
are reinforcing those behaviors. But, if
you pet him when hes sitting calmly, you
can also reinforce that desired behavior.
Same deal if you put your dogs leash on
when hes acting crazy, anticipating the
walk. Dont put the leash on until he set-
tles down. Remember, you have the advantage you know what your dog wants.
When you consistently reward good
behavior and remove rewards when he misbehaves, you create a pattern that will
reinforce good behaviors in all situations.
Its equally important to get all family
members on board; dogs know how to
work the weak link in the family!

LOS ANGELES Audiences were more

than curious to check out the big-screen
adaptation of the racy phenomenon Fifty
Shades of Grey this weekend. The erotic Rrated drama sizzled in its debut, earning an
estimated $81.7 million from 3,646 theaters in its first three days, distributor
Universal Pictures said on Sunday.
In addition to destroying Valentines and
Presidents Day weekend records, Fifty
Shades of Grey has also become the second-highest February debut ever, behind
Passion of the Christs $83.9 million
opening in 2004.
The chart-topping film cost a modest $40

Johnson and Jamie Dornan as Anastasia

track to earn over $90 million across the

Carpou was especially pleased that audiences in large, mid-size, and small markets

We had a tremendous amount of interest

Louis Jourdan, Frenchman who starred in Gigi, dies at 93

LOS ANGELES Louis

Jourdan, the dashingly handsome
Frenchman who starred in Gigi,
Can-Can, Three Coins in the
Fountain and other American
movies, has died. He was 93.
Jourdans biographer, Olivier
Minne, said the actor died Saturday
at his home in Beverly Hills, likely of natural causes.
He was the last French actor
from the Hollywoood golden era,
said Minne, who is working on a
book and documentary about
Jourdan. Louis was very proud of
his career in America.
Succeeding Charles Boyer as
Ho l l y wo o ds
favorite French
lover, Jourdan
romanced Joan
Fontaine,
Jennifer Jones,
Grace Kelly and
S h i r l e y
MacLaine in
Louis Jourdan films during
the late 1940s
and throughout the 1950s. He also
showed that he could play a villain
in Julie (1956), in which he was
Doris Days husband, a psychopathic killer.
Through most of his 15-year
career as a leading man, he was
subject to the Hollywood habit of
typecasting.
Any actor who comes here with
an accent is automatically put in
roles as a lover, he complained.
I didnt want to be perpetually
cooing in a ladys ear.
When Jourdan was brought to
Hollywood by David O. Selznick
in 1947, the producer instructed
him to learn good American
English the way it is spoken by
John Barrymore and Fredric
March. The actor studied hard, but
he concluded: If I had come here
as a boy, I could speak unaccented
English; at 24, it is impossible.
Jourdans film career reached a
peak in 1957 with the Alan Jay
Lerner-Frederick Loewe musical,
Gigi, which won nine Academy

Awards, including best picture. At
first, Jourdan protested that he
couldnt sing and wasnt right for
the role as the Parisian seeking
young Gigi (Leslie Caron) as a
mistress.
Lerner and Loewe persisted, and
they gave him the title song,
which required little vocalizing.
Jourdan didnt consider Gigi his
best achievement. He said in
1957: It was a wonderful story for
Leslie and Maurice Chevalier, but I
played a colorless leading man.
Youll note that none of the actors
was nominated for Academy
Awards.
Louis Gendre was born June 19,
1921, in Marseilles, France; when

he became an actor he changed to
Pierre Jourdan, then Louis
Jourdan. His father owned a seaside hotel in Cannes, where he met
artists, actors and directors who
encouraged him to study drama in
Paris.
His striking good looks helped
get him acting jobs, including his
first movie, Le Corsaire, with
Charles Boyer in 1938.
During the German occupation
of France, he was forced into a
labor gang, cutting wood and digging ditches. Assigned to make
propaganda films for the Nazis, he
escaped and joined the French
underground.

is the city cares about peoples lives and
its moving us toward looking at things
from a safety perspective rather than just
moving people as fast as we can, Chin
said. Its not about just getting people
from A to B as fast as can be, its about
looking at everything as a network and
making sure we get people there in a safe
manner.

General Plan update
PHOTO COURTESY OF HENRY GOLD
The San Mateo Department of Motor Vehicles office was packed with people trying to receive
services.
DMV
January, a quarter of them being AB 60
applicants, and last week 18,000 AB 60
licenses were issued out to residents, according to numbers released by the California
DMV office.
The bill requires the department to issue
an original drivers license to an applicant
who is unable to submit satisfactory proof
of legal presence in the United States.
And while the numbers continue to rise,
people who have been trying to make
appointments to renew their expired
license, or for older residents who have to
physically go into the office to take an
exam, wait times for appointments and the
lines outside the DMV have proved to be
strenuous.
Henry Gold, 70, went with his wife to get
her license renewed at two DMV offices. At
one, they had waited more than five hours
only to be told that exams stopped at 4:30
p.m. and they couldnt take it. At another,
an appointment couldnt be made until after
his wifes license expired, Gold said.
Why people put up with this is beyond
my comprehension. If the problem is
because of allowing undocumented workers
to get a license, then spend more money to
resolve the problem, said Gold. Open
HISTORY
The gold strike began late January but
Leidesdorff didnt hear it from Sutter until
March. Leidesdorff became suddenly ill and
died at the age of 36 on May 18, 1848. He
left no heirs and no will. Legal dealings
embroiled the situation. A young Lt. Joseph
L. Folsom, a U.S. Army quartermaster quickly recognized the situation and slipped
nights and Sunday. Hire more staff, extend

licenses a longer time until the problem is
solved, set up additional temporary offices
until the problem is solved.
There has been a Drivers License
Processing Center established in San Jose,
specifically for dealing with AB 60 applications, and there are three more established
throughout the state. But the extra processing centers hasnt meant shorter wait times,
which has plagued many DMV offices since
the beginning of January.
The DMV said the issue with appointments is constantly being looked at, analyzed and resolved.
Last week, a reporter was able to make an
appointment for mid-March. At the same
location this week, the next appointment
was for mid-April.
But the availability constantly fluctuates,
as many reservations tend to cancel or move
around.
We are constantly evaluating the
appointment availability at our field offices
and making adjustments that we see will
improve customer service, said a statement
from the DMV. Please remember that
appointments are offered on a first-come,
first-served basis. We encourage customers
to check appointment availability as its
subject to change.
DMV representatives said if there were
any issues making appointments online, to
please contact customer service at 1 (800)

away and traveled to the island of St. Croix.
The estate had left a debt of $60,000 but
massive holdings of land. Folsom found his
mother, paid her $75,000 in cash to get the
land holdings, plus a later payment of
almost $20,000. He now owned the land
which was worth many millions of dollars
along the American River. The town of
Folsom is named for him.
Rediscovering the Peninsula by Darold Fredricks
appears in the Monday edition of the Daily
Journal.
If the City Council accepts the plan,

which is on Tuesdays meeting consent calendar, it would proceed as included in the
upcoming General Plan update.
The plan includes safety enhancements
like extending curbs for pedestrians,
increasing parking in-lieu fees, adding bike
lanes and even the possibility of reducing a
lane of traffic on El Camino Real near
downtown.
While the plan would provide guidance if
accepted, actual improvements would occur
slowly over time, be individually reviewed
with an environmental analysis and need
Caltrans approval under certain conditions.
One of the more immediate projects the
city is currently seeking grant funding for
is to add bike lanes along San Mateo Drive
from Peninsula Avenue to downtown, Chin
said.
City Manager Larry Patterson said his
original reservations concerning the proposal subsided after envisioning it as a
long-term plan.
I really kind of changed the time frame
within which I was thinking about these
changes. Because its really talking about
changing the nature and character and feel

of our community. If you think about it in

the next five years, it doesnt seem possible. But if you think about it in the next 50
years, it does become possible. Thats what
really shifted my thinking, Patterson said.
In communicating with numerous agencies and jurisdictions over the course of the
citys work, Patterson said he was pleased
to learn San Mateo was at the forefront of
this type of planning.
Both in terms of the Sustainable Streets
and also the green streets we are a leader
in this area and Im very proud of that,
Patterson said.
Population growth
Chin said regional population growth
and changing demographics whereby more
people are giving up cars and opting for
public
transportation
makes
the
Sustainable Streets Plan a vital resource for
future planning.
The reality is the citys growing, the
communitys growing, the region is growing and we need to make sure we can accommodate different modes of transportation
for everyone, Chin said. Theres a shift
and we need to be prepared for it or have a
plan for it.
The Sustainable Streets Plan is not scheduled for a discussion, but is on the City
Councils consent calendar for its 7 p.m.
meeting Tuesday, Feb. 17 at City Hall, 330
W. 20th Av e., San Mateo. For more information about the Sustainable Streets Plan

centage of the school enrollment population, according to the report.
As well, over the past three years,
black students have been suspended at
a disproportionate rate than other students in the district, which suggests
that the amount of students in special
education programs is correlated to the
suspension rate, according to the
report.
To combat these trends, the district
should ensure that before a student is
referred to special education due to
behavioral issues, necessary steps
have been pursued to help the student
succeed in the general classroom,
according to recommendations in the
report.
These steps include better outreach
to parents and training teachers more
efficiently, both in how to address
volatile interactions with students,
and increasing cultural sensitivity
training.
The report also suggests that the district do away with suspending students
as a means of discipline for behavior
defined in the education code as willful defiance, and develop a set of
strategies designed to keep students in
school and on campus.
In general, the report recommends
an overhaul of the code of conduct, so
it reinforces positive behavior.
Review the code of conduct to
ensure that it support principles of
positive behavioral supports and does
like read like a code of punishment,
according to the report.
Mildred Browne, a consultant who
co-authored the report, said the plan
serves as guideline, and can be adjusted as necessary.
The plan is a living document that,
PROJECT
We hope that is the start of development out there, he said.
Garbarino said the construction will
help stimulate the local economy, as
developers have agreed to use local
union workers in building the project.
If we can put some of our people to
work, thats good, because the workers
will spend locally, he said.
The design of the project has undergone a few iterations since the council
discussed it in 2013. Councilmembers
requested developers modify their initial proposal of a select-service hotel
to a full-service hotel, and simplify
the building design along the view
corridors of Highway 101 and Oyster
Point Boulevard.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
even though this is what weve written

in terms of recommendations, every
quarter we can review it, she said.
As part of the district response, the
African-American Parent Advisory
Committee formed to better engage
parents in the community.
Browne said since the group formed,
it has enhanced a sense of community
input for some parents, which is identified in the report as an area the district should work to improve.
They are very happy to have a
voice in the district, he said. They
are pleased they could communicate
and collaborate with each other about
the children.
Browne recommended that officials
work harder to capture and analyze data
on race to gain a better understanding
of issues facing the district.
We want to strongly stress the need
for someone to really be dedicated
around data analysis, she said. This
person would be able to give ongoing
reports about how people are doing
based on ethnicity.
According to the report, the district
should be more engaged in its tracking
of performance according to racial
composition.
It was abundantly clear that the district could not easily retrieve data that
would have assisted in having a better
understanding of the depth and breadth
of disparities, according to the
report.
Last year, the a student at El Camino
High School filed a formal complaint
with the Board of Trustees surrounding
allegations of racial bullying. The students mother alleged that the district
dismissed the issue. An independent
investigation found officials responded according to protocol, but the fate
of principal David Putney, who was put
on administrative leave in the wake of
the incident, has yet to be decided.
According to the report, the district
plans to engage in more open conversations about race to be more transparent about the way it affects students.
We will also begin engaging in difficult conversations around race,
exploring techniques to raise awareness unconscious bias and openly confront the possible unintended ways
that race may influence decisions educators make about students of color,
according to the report.
The district has parent advisory
groups for the parents of Hispanic,
Asian and Pacific Islander students.
Browne noted she found some
schools in the district assessed racial
issues well, while others lagged
behind, but it was important for officials to adopt a broad policy.
Special education is instruction
specifically designed to address the
educational and related developmental
needs of children with disabilities. A
specific learning disability involves
difficulties listening, thinking,
speaking, reading, writing, spelling
or doing mathematical calculations,
including perceptual disabilities,
brain injury, minimal brain dysfunction, dyslexia and developmental
aphasia.
The state Department of Education
required the district to file a report
addressing its disparity of students
underachieving in schools, after four
consecutive years of imbalance.
The district will gauge the success of
the adopted measures over coming
months.
Trustee Rick Ochsenhirt said the
report indicated that despite the districts efforts to improve, many more
issues must be addressed.
There is still more work to be
done, he said.
Garbarino noted that the hotel will

benefit the city, as hotel occupancy
tax from travelers who stay overnight
will go to the citys general fund.
This all bodes well for South San
Francisco, he said.
There will be access to the development from the Bay Trail, as well as
from various modes of public transit.
Normandy said the amenities in the
project will enhance the vitality of
South San Francisco.
A new hotel, new businesses and
life science projects, new restaurants
and shops will not only promote and
enhance South San Francisco, but our
life science market, she said.
Though South San Francisco has
long been recognized as a leader in the
biotechnology industry, Garbarino
said he hopes that the city will begin
to attract technology companies in an
effort to extend the boundaries of
Silicon Valley further north along
Highway 101.
Despite his enthusiasm for the project, Garbarino expressed the importance of responsible development in
the region, because he said he wanted
to see some of the land in the area
maintained for open space recreation.
People are going to work out there,
but we want to keep a place to play. We
need to have a place that people can go
and relax, he said. Its a nice recreation area, and we dont want to give it
all away to development.
The project will also include amenities commonly found on Silicon
Valley technology company campuses
such as a cafeteria, bocce ball court and
large amphitheater.
