DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Occupying 16, 000 square feet of
space this year, Carolyn Hoskins’
black history pop-up museum has
reopened at 1525 Broadway in
Redwood City in celebration of Black
History Month.
Hoskins’ expansive collection of
inventions, photos, records, toys,
memorabilia and other artifacts relat-
ing to black history is on display until
Feb. 28, and she’ll be hosting a vari-
ety of events before then, including a

San Carlos OKs neighborhood traffic plan
New process aimed at easing concerns about congestion
By Anna Schuessler
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
In response to rising concern about traffic
in San Carlos neighborhoods, city officials
unanimously approved Monday a process
for fielding requests for traffic mitigation
measures.
The council’s decision to streamline a
process for addressing traffic concerns and
establish criteria for the types of street con-
ditions warranting further study comes some
two years after councilmembers pegged the
effort as a strategic priority.
Aimed at defining the process officials
use in reviewing complaints about speeding
vehicles and cut-through traffic in neigh-
borhoods, the new program outlines the
steps residents can take to initiate study and
review traffic mitigation measures. Though
more straightforward traffic concerns can be
addressed by signs, crosswalk improve-
ments and street striping, streets with
unique characteristics or more complex traf-
fic issues will be reviewed by residents and
city officials, according to the plan.
By submitting a request with the city and
garnering the support of 50 percent plus
one of the households and businesses in the
neighborhood, residents can set in motion a
review of street modifications like medians,
curb extensions and raised crosswalks.
Streets where 85 percent drivers are travel-
ing 7 mph over the posted speed limit, the
volume of cars is higher than average or
where the number of collisions logged is
greater than the citywide average in the last
three years will meet one of the criteria
needed for a traffic management request
under the new plan, though streets with spe-
cial circumstances that do not meet the cri-
teria may be considered for measures,
explained city engineer Grace Le and a rep-
resentative of Stantec Consulting Services.
Trump appeals California
judge’s curb on birth control rules
SAN FRANCISCO — The U. S.
Department of Justice is appealing a
California judge’s decision to temporarily

allowing more employers to opt out of pro-

Though Councilman Mark Olbert was sup-
portive of the plan, he wondered how staff
would weigh requests for measures on streets
qualifying for review by special circum-
stances and suggested the program be evalu-
ated in a year to see what kind of requests are
submitted. Le explained the city’s Traffic
and Circulation commissioners, who helped
draft the plan, felt some projects could fall
through the cracks if only objective criteria
is used, and that those requests could be
reviewed case by case.
Because the plan includes a two-year ban
on requests from neighborhoods that fail to
garner more than 50 percent support for
traffic measures, Olbert asked whether staff
had considered shortening the blackout
period in the event that new developments
may affect traffic patterns. Le explained that
the character of roads is not expected to
change significantly in two years, but that
new developments may be captured in the
special circumstances requiring a street is
studied.
Vice Mayor Cameron Johnson voiced
concern the many steps required before traf-
fic measures can be implemented may pre-
vent the plan from adequately addressing
rising concern from residents about
increased congestion, adding that he
expected the perceptions about traffic to
worsen over time.
“It’s positive to have a policy so that
it’s clear to people … what the steps are, ”
he said, according to a video of the meet-
ing. “However, I regard the policy as a
very high hurdle to have to get over in

The Obama appointee said the Trump

December.

companies to cover birth control at no addi-

put on your street. ”
City Manager Jeff Maltbie said all resi-
dents or neighborhoods requesting meas-
ures would be contacted by city staff under
the new plan and that police officers and
city engineers would take a closer look at
streets residents are reporting as congested.
He added that review by the city’s Traffic and
Circulation Commission and City Council,
in some cases, could also ensure the streets
with extenuating circumstances are also
considered.
In response to councilmembers’ questions
about when traffic mitigation measures
would be implemented and the speed limit
on a given street would be adjusted to new
traffic patterns, Le said traffic mitigation
measures for areas of concern would be the
city’s first step. But she added if the mitiga-
tion measures fail to reduce speed, the city is
required to increase the speed limit by state
law.
Le said the city has been processing some
two to three requests for more intensive traf-
fic mitigation measures, and expects that
number to remain steady in the coming year
alongside less intense measures, such as
signs and striping.
Johnson said he was encouraged by the
fact that the program could increase commu-
nication between residents and staff about
traffic concerns.
“One of the helpful parts of this policy is
it’s sort of a co-education process, where it
gets the staff out into the neighborhood and
the neighbors sort of get the staff’s expert-
ise in traffic mitigation,” he said.

Legislation to track police guns introduced
By Janis Mara
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Legislation requiring police to track and
regularly inventory firearms was introduced
in the California Legislature Thursday.
Senate Bill 1185, introduced by Sen.
Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, would require law
enforcement agencies to have a written pro-
cedure to account for all their guns, includ-
ing a way to account for and document the
guns and update that accounting when they
are lost or stolen, the senator said.
“These bills will bring greater accounta-

so voluntarily, according to the senator’s
office.

Safety improvements slated for
three Redwood City rail crossings
Construction work to improve safety at
three Caltrain grade crossings at Whipple
Avenue, Main Street and Broadway in
Redwood City began this week, according to
the transit agency.
Crews are installing new pedestrian gate
arms, new “KEEP CLEAR” markings to pre-
vent vehicles from stopping on tracks, new
guard rails and signs to channel pedestrians
toward crosswalks. In addition, new road
markers and bumps along the crosswalk will
be installed so vehicles do not accidentally
make a turn onto the tracks, according to
Caltrain.
Construction work will occur on week-
days, in most cases from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
There will be some temporary lane closures
to paint markings on the pavement and some
temporary sidewalk closures to install yel-
low tactiles and new sidewalk gates. Work
officially began Tuesday, Feb. 13, with the
digging of a bore pit near the Main Street
crossing, according to Caltrain.
Local briefs
Work is expected to wrap up by April on
Broadway, and by the end of July at Main
Street and Whipple Avenue. There are no
planned impacts to Caltrain service. Caltrain
has worked in cooperation with the city of
Redwood City on the project, according to
the transit agency.

House GOP leaders struggle California Senate misconduct probe concludes

for votes on immigration bill

By Alan Fram
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — As badly as things
have gone for immigration legislation
in the Senate, it’s not looking any eas-
ier in the more conservative House.
Republican leaders there are scram-
bling to find enough GOP votes to
pass a measure that’s even more
restrictive than a proposal by
President Donald Trump that flopped
spectacularly in the Senate on
Thursday. Compounding those divi-
sions are pressures from some of the
House’s most conservative members,
who are casting the effort as a pivotal
test for Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis.
“It is a, the, defining moment for
this speaker, ” said Rep. Mark
Meadows, R-N.C. who leads the hard-
right House Freedom Caucus, which
helped force former Speaker John
Boehner from his job in 2015. “If he
gets it wrong, it will have conse-
quences for him but it will also have
consequences for the rest of the
Republican Party.”
Ryan aides did not respond to a
request for comment on Meadows’
remark. But underscoring party rifts,
some Republicans defended the speak-
er and his work on the issue.
“Any time you allow one member or
a small group of members to dictate
overall policy for the country, it is an
unfair scenario,” Rep. Jeff Denham, R-
House Speaker Paul Ryan speaks at a news conference with Republican leaders after
a closed conference on Capitol Hill.
Calif., who’s opposing the conserva-
tive legislation, said Friday. “I just
don’t think our speaker’s going to
give into any type of threats.”
Even if House leaders manage to
push the measure through their cham-
ber, it would be dead on arrival in the
closely divided Senate. Democrats
there could ensure its demise because
any immigration measure would need
60 votes to survive, meaning biparti-
san agreement is mandatory.
All of that underscores how unlikely
REUTERS
it is that Congress will approve
sweeping election-year legislation on
the subject, including something to
help young “Dreamer” immigrants
stay in the U.S.
The divisions bode poorly for a bill
by House Judiciary Committee
Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., and
Homeland Security Committee
Chairman Michael McCaul, R-Texas,
that conservatives back and leaders
have said they’d try bringing to a
House vote.
SACRAMENTO — A California senator accused of sexual
misconduct will learn next week whether he’ll face formal
disciplinary proceedings, the Senate
Rules Committee said Friday after receiv-
ing the results of an investigation into
his behavior.
The findings of the investigation on
Sen. Tony Mendoza have not been made
public but were presented to the rules
panel in a closed-door meeting. When it
concluded, the five-member committee
Tony Mendoza said it would decide Tuesday whether to
recommend discipline, and if so will
share the findings with all senators.
Mendoza, an Artesia Democrat, could be censured, sus-
pended, expelled or face no discipline. He has been on paid
leave while the investigation was underway and filed a law-
suit Thursday saying he’s been treated unfairly.
Mendoza has been accused of acting inappropriately
toward young women who worked for him, including invit-
ing one to his home and offering another alcohol when she
was underage.
More than 200 arrests in
Los Angeles area immigration sweep
LOS ANGELES — More than 200 people were arrested for
violating immigration laws and numerous businesses were
told they would be audited during a five-day sweep in the Los
Angeles area, the U. S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement agency said Friday.
The raids triggered a protest late Thursday by a small
group of immigrant advocates who prevented a Homeland
Security van from moving outside the federal Metropolitan
Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles. Police issued a
dispersal order but no one was arrested.
A statement from the agency said that 88 percent of the
212 people arrested in the sweep were convicted criminals.
Some will be prosecuted for illegal entry or re-entry into
the U.S. and others will be administratively processed for
deportation, immediately removed or held for immigration
court hearings.

Romney makes it official: He’s
running for Utah Senate seat
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SALT LAKE CITY — Former presidential
hopeful Mitt Romney is running for a Utah
Senate seat, officially launching his politi-
cal comeback attempt Friday by praising his
adopted home state as a model for an acrimo-
nious national government in Washington.
Having been one of the Republican Party’s
fiercest internal critics of President Donald
Trump, Romney didn’t mention the adminis-
tration or Trump himself in a campaign
announcement posted online. The closest
allusion to Trump was Romney noting that
Utah “welcomes legal immigrants from
around the world,” while “Washington sends
immigrants a message of exclusion.”
In an interview Friday with the Associated
Press, Romney said he will continue to
speak out when he takes exception to some-
thing the president says or does.
“I call them like I see them. Neither he nor
I are likely to change very much,” Romney
said, adding that they could work together on
Food box idea draws criticism
from Democrats, advocates
WASHINGTON — The Trump administra-
tion is pushing what it calls a “bold new
approach to nutrition assistance”: replacing
the traditional cash-on-a-card that food
stamp recipients currently get with a pre-
assembled box of canned foods and other
shelf-stable goods dubbed “America’s
Harvest Box.”
Office of Management and Budget Director
Mick Mulvaney likened the box to meal kit
delivery service Blue Apron, and said the plan
could save nearly $130 billion over 10 years.

Romney said he won’t run for president

Cheval Blanc
on the
WASHINGTON — In an extraordinary indictment, the premises of
U.S. special counsel accused 13 Russians Friday of an elab- an equestrian
orate plot to disrupt the 2016 presidential election, charg- complex.
ing them with running a huge but hidden social media
trolling campaign aimed in part at helping Republican
Donald Trump defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton.
The federal indictment, brought by special counsel
Robert Mueller, represents the most detailed allegations to
date of illegal Russian meddling during the campaign that
sent Trump to the White House. It also marks the first crim-
inal charges against Russians believed to have secretly
worked to influence the outcome.
The Russian organization was funded by Yevgeny
Prigozhin, the indictment says. He is a wealthy St.
Petersburg businessman with ties to the Russian govern-
ment and President Vladimir Putin.
Trump quickly claimed vindication Friday, noting in a
tweet that the alleged interference efforts began in 2014 —
“long before I announced that I would run for President.”
“The results of the election were not impacted. The Trump
campaign did nothing wrong — no collusion!” he tweeted.
But the indictment does not resolve the collusion ques-
tion at the heart of the continuing Mueller probe, which
before Friday had produced charges against four Trump asso-
ciates. U.S. intelligence agencies have previously said the
Russian government interfered to benefit Trump, including
by orchestrating the hacking of Democratic emails, and
Mueller has been assessing whether the campaign coordi-
nated with the Kremlin.
The latest indictment does not focus on the hacking but
instead centers on a social media propaganda effort that
began in 2014 and continued past the election, with the
goal of producing distrust in the American political
process. Trump himself has been reluctant to acknowledge
the interference and any role that it might have played in
propelling him to the White House.
The indictment does not allege that any American know-
ingly participated in Russian meddling, or suggest that
Trump campaign associates had more than “unwitting” con-
tact with some of the defendants who posed as Americans
during election season.

Stinky breath
I
have a friend who jokes that his dog’s breath can kill
spiders climbing walls across the room, and having
spent time with them both I’m not sure it’s an exag-
geration. Stinky breath can of course mean something
stinky was eaten (dogs who like to “clean” litter boxes is a
topic for a future column) but it can also mean a more seri-
ous problem with our pet’s health.
You and I floss and brush our teeth
several times every day (well at least
I know I do!) and we see the dentist
even when there’s no toothache. We
do this so that people will not back
away from us in horror, and we also
do so as part of our preventive health
regimen. Imagine the potential for
gum disease and other possibly more
serious illness if we simply chose to
ignore our mouths. Periodontal
(gum) disease is the primary cause of bad breath in our
dogs and cats, and an estimated 75 percent of our pets suf-
fer from plaque build-up spreading first to the teeth and
eventually below the gumline. Pets’ teeth need brushing
just like our own, and there are various special toothbrush-
es and toothpastes (steak flavored — yum!) available; less
wet food and more dry kibble can also help. Whether you
can keep the problem at bay on your own or if it also
requires a veterinarian’s periodic expertise depends on how
much a habit you can make of this as well as your pet’s
own health and genetics.
Other causes of pet bad breath can include diabetes (a dia-
betic pet’s breath reportedly smells like nail polish
remover), kidney disease (breath smells like urine), liver
disease, gastrointestinal disease and sinus infections. But
not only can bad breath be itself a sign of disease, it can
also lead to — or, more accurately, dirty teeth and gums
can lead to — serious illnesses such as heart disease. So if
your pet’s kisses are icky, don’t just hold your nose: See
your vet!

started dumping them. The gain
Friday was the sixth in a row for
the Standard & Poor’s 500 index.
A combination of cheaper prices
for stocks as well as solid compa-
ny profits put investors back in a
buying mood.
The S&P 500, which many
index funds track, has risen almost
6 percent in its current streak.
Investors haven’t hesitated to buy
the same types of stocks that did
well before the market’s recent
slump, including technology
companies and banks.
In a typical market downturn,
investors might avoid stocks that
have had huge run-ups out of fear
they had gotten too expensive.
Instead, investors are still betting
on more strength in the economy
and are buying companies that
tend to do better in times of faster
growth.
After an unusually long period
of calm, stocks plunged at the
start of February as investors wor-
ried about inflation and rising
interest rates. The S&P 500 fell as
much as 10 percent from its latest
record high reached January 26.
But investors weren’t scared off
for long.

A surprise no one wants: Big medical bill even with coverage

By Tom Murphy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
This winter’s nasty flu season may smack
patients with a financial side effect: sur-
prise medical bills.
People who wind up in the emergency
room or need an ambulance can be blind-
sided by hefty, unexpected charges. This
often happens after patients visit a doctor
or hospital outside their insurance network
so coverage was limited. Insurance
deductibles that reset every January and
must be paid before coverage begins can
make these invoices even more painful.
Here’s a look at the issue and some tips
for dealing with surprises:
COMPLICATED NETWORK
Insurers form networks of doctors, hospi-
tals and others and then negotiate rates with
them. Doctors cannot bill outside those
agreed-upon rates for in-network care.
For out-of-network care, providers can
bill patients the difference or leftover bal-
ance between what the insurer paid for the
care and what was charged.
On top of that, many insurers also make
customers pay separate, higher deductibles
for out-of-network care before they provide
coverage. Then they tend to cover less of
the remaining bill than they would have for
in-network care.
The end result could mean a bill topping
several thousand dollars, depending on the
coverage and the care a patient needs.
Some plans even provide no coverage for
non-emergency care outside their network.
That’s more common with individual cover-
age sold on the Affordable Care Act’s insur-
ance marketplaces.
Networks in those marketplaces also
have gotten particularly narrow in recent
years, which makes it easier for patients to
end up with an out-of-network provider.
SOURCE OF CONFUSION
People with flu symptoms have been
flocking to ERs in several states this win-
ter, and that can lead to surprise bills, in
part because patients are focused on getting
help and not always researching their cov-
erage. Even if a patient choses an in-net-
work hospital, the doctor delivering care
may be out of network.
For more complicated cases, the odds of
that happening increase. A doctor assisting
in a surgery may be out of network, and so
might the anesthesiologist. A woman may
give birth with help from an in-network
doctor. But the baby may wind up in neona-
tal intensive care, where a doctor outside the
network treats it.
Ambulance rides are another case where a
patient may have little control over who
provides the care.
“You call 911, and the ambulance that
shows up is the ambulance you take,” said
Erin Fuse Brown, a Georgia State law pro-
fessor who researches medical billing.

Facebook forging ahead with its

kids app despite expert criticism
By Barbara Ortutay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Facebook is forging ahead
with its messaging app for kids, despite
child experts who have pressed the compa-
ny to shut it down and others who question
Facebook’s financial support of some
advisers who approved of the app.
Messenger Kids lets kids under 13 chat
with friends and family. It displays no ads
and lets parents approve who their children
message. But critics say it serves to lure
kids into harmful social media use and to
hook young people on Facebook as it tries
to compete with Snapchat or its own
Instagram app. They say kids shouldn’t be
on such apps at all — although they often
are.
“It is disturbing that Facebook, in the face
of widespread concern, is aggressively mar-
keting Messenger Kids to even more chil-
dren,” the Campaign For a Commercial-Free
Childhood said in a statement this week.
Messenger Kids launched on iOS to luke-
warm reception in December. It arrived on
Amazon devices in January and on Android
Wednesday. Throughout, Facebook has tout-
ed a team of advisers, academics and families
who helped shape the app in the year before
it launched.
But a Wired report this week pointed out
that more than half of this safety advisory
board had financial ties to the company.
Facebook confirmed this and said it hasn’t
hidden donations to these individuals and
groups — although it hasn’t publicized
them, either.
Facebook’s donations to groups like the
National PTA (the official name for the
Parent Teacher Association) typically cov-
ered logistics costs or sponsored activities
like anti-bullying programs or events such
as parent roundtables. One advisory group,
the Family Online Safety Institute, has a
Facebook executive on its board, along
with execs from Disney, Comcast and
Google.

shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in
Pompano Beach, Fla.
President meets
shooting victims,
first responders
By Catherine Lucey and Ken Thomas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
POMPANO BEACH, Fla. — President Donald Trump came
face-to-face Friday with hospitalized victims of the horrific
school shooting in Florida and offered thanks to the doc-
tors and nurses who helped the wounded, declaring “the job
they’ve done is incredible.”
Asked if he’d talked with victims, Trump added: “I did
indeed, and it’s very sad something like that could happen.”
After paying their respects to medical professionals at
Broward Health North Hospital, Trump and his wife,
Melania, visited with law enforcement officials in Fort
Lauderdale, where he told officers that he hoped they were
“getting the credit” they deserved for their response to the
shooting that left 17 dead and 14 injured.
“I was at the hospital with a lot of parents and they are
really thankful for the job you’ve done,” Trump said at the
Broward County Sheriff’s Office, where he was joined by
Gov. Rick Scott, Sen. Marco Rubio and other Florida offi-
cials. He added that the young victims were in “really great
shape” considering what they have been through.
Trump relished bantering and praising the law enforce-
ment officials, he marveled at the speed with which first
responders rushed the wounded to the hospital and he
extended hearty thanks to first responders. But the presi-
dent who has never been a natural at consolation didn’t pub-
licly address the grief and sorrow gripping a shocked com-
munity and nation, beyond his mention of how sad it was to
meet with victims.
Nor was there any mention of the debate over gun regula-
tion set off by the shooting. The president ignored a shout-
ed question about whether guns should be more tightly reg-
ulated.
Trump said he originally planned to visit the Parkland
area on Sunday or Monday, but decided he didn’t want to
wait.

Anger bubbles over at funerals
for Florida shooting victims
By Terry Spencer, Adriana Gomez
Licon and Tamara Lush
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARKLAND, Fla. — As families
began burying their dead, authorities
questioned whether they could have
prevented the attack on a South Florida
high school where a gunman took the
lives of 14 students, the athletic direc-
tor, a coach and a geography teacher.
At funerals and in the streets of
Parkland, a suburb on the edge of the
Everglades, anger bubbled over at the
senselessness of the shooting and at
the widespread availability of guns. A
rally to support gun-safety legislation
was scheduled for Saturday at the feder-
al courthouse in Fort Lauderdale.
During a funeral Friday for 18-year-
old Meadow Pollack, her father looked
down at his daughter’s plain pine cof-
fin and screamed in anguish as Gov.
Rick Scott and 1,000 others sat in
Temple K’ol Tikvah.
“You killed my kid!” Andrew Pollack
yelled, referring to Nikolas Cruz, who
is accused of gunning down Meadow
and 16 others. “My kid is dead. It goes
through my head all day and all night. I
keep hearing it. This is just unimagin-
able that I will never see my princess
again.”
He briefly paused as mourners,
punched by the rawness of his words,
began to wail.
“I wasn’t able to do anything about
it. I have always been able to protect
my family,” he said. “Our kids should
be safe.”
Not long after that funeral, the FBI
said it received a tip last month that
Cruz had a “desire to kill” and access to
guns and could be plotting an attack,
but agents failed to investigate. The
governor called for the FBI director to
resign.
A person who was close to Cruz
called the FBI’s tip line on Jan. 5 and
provided information about Cruz’s
weapons and his erratic behavior,
including his disturbing social media
posts. The caller was concerned that

Cruz could attack a school.
In a statement, the agency acknowl-
edged that the tip should have been
shared with the FBI’s Miami office and
investigated, but it was not. The star-
tling admission came as the agency
was already facing criticism for its
treatment of a tip about a YouTube com-
ment posted last year. The comment
posted by a “Nikolas Cruz” said, “Im
going to be a professional school
shooter.”
The FBI investigated the remark but
did not determine who made it.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions said
the shooting that killed 17 people
Wednesday was a “tragic consequence”
of the FBI’s missteps and ordered a
review of the Justice Department’s
processes. He said it’s now clear that
the nation’s premier law enforcement
agency missed warning signs.
In more evidence that there had been
signs of trouble with Cruz, Broward
County Sheriff Scott Israel said his
office had received more than 20 calls
about him in the past few years.
Cruz was being held without bail at
the Broward County Jail on 17 counts
arrested Wednesday
shortly after the
shooting. Former
JROTC cadets told
the Associated
Press that Cruz was
a member of the
small varsity
marksmanship
Nikolas Cruz team that trained
together after class
and traveled to other area schools to
compete.
It was a close-knit group. One of the
other cadets started calling Cruz
“Wolf,” and the nickname stuck.
“He was a very good shot,” said
Aaron Diener, 20, who gave Cruz a ride

of first-degree murder.
Authorities have not described any
specific motive, except to say that
Cruz had been kicked out of the high
school, which has about 3,000 stu-
dents and serves an affluent suburb
where the median home price is nearly
$600,000. Students who knew him
described a volatile teenager whose
strange behavior had caused others to
end friendships.
News of law enforcement’s admis-
sions enraged those in the community.
“The FBI has failed,” said Lewis
Mizen, a 17-year-old student at
Marjory Stoneman Douglas High
School, where the attack took place.
“It’s going to be a mark on their name
forever. Their mistakes have cost the
lives of 17 people. There are people
dead because they failed in their jobs.”
Across the internet, students who
were caught in the crossfire at the
school spoke out. Some took politi-
cians to task on Twitter. A 17-year-old
junior wrote an essay for CNN, saying
that he and his classmates planned to
pressure politicians into taking
action.
to shooting competitions when they
were part of the same four-member
team in 2016. “He had an AR-15 he
talked about, and pistols he had shot.
... He would tell us, ‘Oh, it was so fun
to shoot this rifle’ or ‘It was so fun to
shoot that.’ It seemed almost therapeu-
tic to him, the way he spoke about it.”
The JROTC marksmanship program
used air rifles special-made for target
shooting, typically on indoor ranges
at targets the size of a coin.
Records show that the Stoneman
Douglas JROTC program received
$10,827 in non-cash assistance from
the NRA’s fundraising and charitable
arm in 2016, when Cruz was on the
squad.

“It’s command central here right now,”
she said.
With weeks to go before March 23, when
the festivities begin, Olds and her team
have been counting down the days before
some 50 troops and 40 veterans arrive in
San Mateo to meet Peninsula residents. But
the hundreds of letters, emails and care
packages exchanged between the military
unit and San Mateo residents no matter
where the unit was deployed in the 50 years
since the city adopted it are never far from
her mind.
Though Olds is focused on ensuring
those visiting San Mateo receive a warm
welcome, she also sees the weekend as an
opportunity to recognize the community
for five decades of dedicated support of the
unit’s troops. In forging lines of communi-
cation with those serving in the Vietnam
War and coordinating a parade for their
return from war in 1972, the city’s early
days of supporting the unit came at time
when tumultuous debates about the United
States’ role in Vietnam rippled through the
country, said Olds. So by receiving sol-
diers in their city with open arms and pride
in their service during a rocky political cli-
mate, Olds said the San Mateo community
was unique in establishing such a close
bond with the unit it adopted.
“I really want to celebrate San Mateo for
the courageous act they took in 1968,” she
said. “They really embraced this.”

LOCAL
Initial adoption
Olds said the effort got off the ground
when Peninsula resident Linda Patterson,
no relation to City Manager Larry
Patterson, approached the city with a
December 1968 letter from her brother,
Sgt. Joe Artavia, asking her to see if a city
would adopt his company in Vietnam.
Explaining to her that it would bring the
morale of his fellow soldiers “as high as
the clouds” to receive letters and care pack-
ages, the letter compelled Patterson to
advocate for the city where she worked at
the time to adopt his company.
Through Patterson’s efforts and warm
response from the community, San Mateo
officials adopted the unit less than three
months later on March 4, 1968, just three
weeks before Artavia was killed in action
March 24, 1968. For Patterson, the city’s
immediate support in helping her respond
to her brother’s request, especially one she
didn’t know would be his last for her, was
integral to her working through her fami-
ly’s tragedy.
“That is what carried me through and kept
my brother right alongside of me all these
years,” she said.
Having visited soldiers from her broth-
er’s unit in December of 1968 where they
were stationed in Vietnam, Patterson wit-
nessed the sacrifices they made to serve the
country and understood how much mes-
sages and packages from their home coun-
try meant to them. She remembers well the
effort to welcome them back to the United
States as they returned from war, with a
first stop in San Mateo the weekend of Jan.
22, 1972. She said residents invited the
troops into their homes and celebrated
their return with them at a time when many

soldiers were criticized for their involve-
ment with the war.
“San Mateo at that time just stood up and
supported those kids through letters and
care packages,” she said. “They promised
and kept their promise of treating them
like the heroes they were.”
Patterson, a Southern California resi-
dent, said she has already heard from veter-
ans she met at the homecoming some 46
years ago who are doing whatever it takes
to make it to San Mateo from all over the

Councilwoman Maureen Freschet and
Councilman Joe Goethals, who have visit-
ed the unit at its base in Fort Campbell,
Kentucky, said they looked forward to the
opportunity to welcome the troops and
veterans back to the city after years of cor-
responding with them in deployments as
far away as Iraq and Djibouti. Having
grown up in San Mateo, Freschet remem-
bers her family’s excitement in learning
about the connection between the city and
the unit, as well as beginning a letter writ-

visited Fort Campbell who said he had

“I think that it’s even more important

know those people who are making those
sacrifices for us every day is critical.”

Sequoia pulls away from Cougars late for win

Jefferson scores 23 fourth-quarter points to beat Mills in the PAL Tournament semifinals
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Sequoia’s Jean Ayarza is one of those bas-
ketball players who doesn’t get a lot of
accolades. Not when your team features 6-6
center Ziggy Lauese, who is arguably the
best player in San Mateo County.
But teams can’t win without players like
Ayarza. He’s one of those guys who does the
dirty work. He hustles. He scraps. He makes
himself as big a pest as possible to the
other team.
And every now and then, those kind of play-
ers find themselves in the spotlight.
Such was the case for Ayarza in the
Cherokees’ game against Half Moon Bay in
the semifinals of the Peninsula Athletic
League Tournament. With the Cougars lead-
ing 51-49 with 3:14 left to play, Ayarza
thrust himself into limelight. His reverse
layup with 2:28 tied the game and ignited a
personal 6-0 mini-explosion for Ayarza as
Sequoia finished the game on a 9-0 run to
beat Half Moon Bay 58-51 at the Cabrillo
Unified School District Event Center in Half
Moon Bay Friday afternoon.
“I just do what I can do to help the team,”
said Ayarza, a senior forward. “Offensively,
I feel like if I’m open, I’ll take the shot.”
With the win, Sequoia advances to the
7:45 p.m. championship game Saturday
night at the Event Center against Jefferson,
which beat Mills 56-41 in the other semifi-
nal game.

Youthful A’s hope patience pays off Rizzo in tears
By Jose M. Romero
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MESA, Ariz. — The often-rebuilding
Oakland Athletics are leaning on young tal-
ent again in 2018, maintaining a philoso-
phy of developing prospects from within
their organization and acquiring them from
other teams for more expensive veterans.
It’s become the norm for manager Bob
Melvin and his staff, and while the process
has yielded three straight last-place finishes
in the AL West, Melvin feels his team turned
a corner with a strong finish to the 2017 reg-
ular season, giving him optimism for 2018.
The patience might also have produced a
core group of players that could be with the
club for years.
Several players the organization has culti-
vated are now deemed ready to make the full-
time jump to the majors, headlined bv third
baseman Matt Chapman and first baseman
Matt Olson, a pair of A’s draft picks.
Olson made a big splash with 24 home
runs in 59 games last season.
Utility player Chad Pinder hit 15 home
runs in 87 games last season, pitcher Daniel
Mengden threw a shutout and posted a 3.14
earned run average in seven starts and herald-
ed 22-year-old left-hander A.J. Puk is in camp
with the big-leaguers and could make his
major-league debut in 2018.
“It’s great to see all the young guys get a
chance to show what they can do at the big
league level,” Puk said.
The group of homegrown A’s has come up
through the minors together over the past
few seasons. All are at spring training now
though the first official full squad workout
SPORTS
Matt Chapman, left, and Matt Olson are the core of the Oakland A’s youth movement.
has yet to take place.
“We have our guys here that have been in
our system and have had success,” Melvin
said. “It’s a very upbeat camp ... I think it’s a
good feeling at this point even though the
last three years have been a struggle for us.”
Mengden, who turns 25 on Monday, noted
the benefit of having pitching coach Scott
Emerson, who has worked his way up
through the organization to his current posi-
tion and has coached some of the pitchers
when they were in the minors.
“Everybody brings something different to
the table,” Mengden said. “Some guys might
be better defensively or offensively. You
might see guys hitting 500-foot home runs.
You might see a guy like Puk throwing 100
(mph) in the bullpen.”
Melvin will be around to continue watch-
ing his young players blossom, at least
through 2019 after signing a one-year con-
tract extension near the end of last season.
Now entering his eighth season as A’s man-
ager, he is working with plenty of youth and
inexperience every year the way the organi-
zation has built its roster.
“I’ve said often that we were kind of wait-
ing for this group that’s had success, the
Chapmans and the Olsons and the Pinders
and (Franklin) Barretos and those guys. But
it’s my job to acclimate to them,” Melvin
said. “We enjoy young players here and like I
said, the younger players that we have here
are very passionate and have played together
as a group. It’s an exciting time here.”
Whether the A’s are ready to contend in a
division that features the 2017 World Series
champion, Houston, is still to be deter-
mined. But after years of trading veterans for
prospects, Oakland might have found a
young group of core players to hang onto.
Melvin was asked if a fan can buy a
Chapman jersey without concern that he will
be traded soon, and if the club has a potential
core in place.
“I would think,” he said. “That’s the plan.
Therefore, as far as the front office and us
dealing with the players, the focus is the
guys that are here now that we want to keep
for a while should be here for a while.”

Late bucket wins it for Warriors

Sequoia’s Jean Ayarza, left, is fouled by Half Moon Bay’s Danny
Mack during the Cherokees’ 58-51 win in the PAL Tournament
semifinals.
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
South City guard Brittney Cedeno had just scored her team’s
last two buckets to erase a four-point deficit with 36 seconds
left.
The Warriors got the ball back with 28 seconds to play. Was
there any question Cedeno was going to have a say in the final
play?
After holding the ball for about 18 second, Cedeno, who fin-
ished with a game-high 24 points, finally went on the attack.
Her running layup with 2.5 seconds left being the difference in
South City’s 48-46 win over Aragon in the semifinals of the
Peninsula Athletic League Tournament at the Cabrillo Unified
School District in Half Moon Bay Friday afternoon.
“There was no doubt [Cedeno] was going to make the last
play,” said South City head coach Paul Carion.
The Warriors, the PAL North champs, now advance to the
championship game at 6 p.m. Saturday at the Event Center,
where they will face PAL South co-champ Menlo-Atherton.
the ball over each time.
Both the Dons and Warriors were division champs this sea-
son, so it should come as no surprise the game was nip-and-
tuck the entire way. When Becca Tasi scored on an inbound
play with 2:48 left in the opening quarter, it gave South City
a 10-6 lead.
Aragon responded with a 7-0 run to end the quarter with a 13-
10 advantage.
The Dons, who shot just a shade under 50 percent in the
opening period, suddenly could not make a shot in the second,
managing only four points —  three of which came on a
Kinako Miyake 3-pointer. A Tasi layup with 4:44 left in the
half tied the game at 14 for the Warriors and a Jerlene Miller
layup with one second left in the quarter gave South City an
18-17 lead at the half.
In the third, Aragon had the game tied at 20 following a
Lydia Manu steal and layup just over a minute into the second
half. The teams would go back and forth, but a pair of Katelyn
Wong free throws gave the Dons a 33-30 lead going into the
fourth quarter.

BOYS The Bears ended Sequoia’s Cinderella run with a 53-36 victory.
Aragon still had a chance to get off a game-tying shot
attempt. In fact, the Dons had two opportunities, but turned

Ayarza would finish with nine points, six coming in the

final 2:13. After the layup, Ayarza hit back-to-back jumpers
on flashes to the free throw line. The second bucket put
Sequoia up 55-51 with 1:33.
“That’s his range,” said Sequoia head coach Fine Lauese.
“More than that, was his defense. He took two or three
charges.”
Of course it was Ayarza who had the defensive play of the
game and it proved to be pivotal. With under three minutes
to play, Half Moon Bay center Ethan Menzies received a
pass out of the perimeter, with Sequoia’s Ziggy Lauese out
guarding him. Both big men had four fouls, so any slip from
either could have ended their night. Menzies put the ball on
the floor, turned the corner and drove the baseline with
Ziggy Lauese in his chest.
Ziggy Lauese had to finally relent to avoid picking up the
foul, but in came Ayarza, who established position a frac-
tion of a second before Menzies barreled into him.
Offensive foul. Menzies fouled out with 13 points and six
rebounds.
About 20 seconds later, Ayarza tied the game on the oppo-
site end to jump-start the Cherokees’ game-winning run,
which enabled Sequoia to outscore the Cougars 21-6 in the
final eight minutes.
“We played really well for three quarters,” said Half Moon
Bay coach John Parsons. “The fourth quarter got us. (The
difference) was just a couple things here and there.”
Much like Ayarza did for Sequoia, Danny Mack did for the
Cougars. With Menzies battling foul trouble all game long,
Mack was tasked with trying to contain Ziggy Lauese in the
post. Giving up at least two inches and probably 30
pounds, Mack tried to make himself as big as possible.
It worked out pretty well. After Ziggy Lauese scored 12
points and pulled down nine rebounds in the first half, he
was limited to four points and six boards in the second half,
with Mack handling most of the defensive chores.
“I had to guard Ziggy really well,” Mack said. “We had a
lot of scouting on him.”
Mack also managed to get some offense going as well,
scoring a pair of putback baskets in the third quarter as he
finished with eight points.
It should come as no surprise that the game came down to
the wire. Both teams were PAL division champions and they
both played that way. The game was tied at 15 after eight
minutes of play, but HMB opened the second quarter with a
Menzies dunk and a David Billington 3-pointer gave the
Cougars a 20-15 lead. HMB eventually built a 24-19 lead
before Sequoia ended the half on a 9-2 run, including a
Ziggy Lauese putback at the buzzer to give the Cherokees a
28-26 lead.
The Cougars scored the first two buckets of the third quar-
ter — Mack on a putback and Menzies on a jumper for a 30-
28 HMB advantage. A pair of Sorie Syme free throws with
three seconds left in the third gave the Cougars the biggest
lead of the game for either team, 45-37, as HMB outscored
the Cherokees 19-9 in the period on 7 of 13 shooting.
But over the final eight minutes, Sequoia turned the tables
and the Cougars simply could not make a shot. HMB hit on
just 2 of 10 shots in the quarter, compared to the 57 percent
clip (8 for 14) for Sequoia.
“We didn’t knock down a couple good looks,” Mack said.

Jefferson 56, Mills 41

Up 33-31 heading into the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies
poured in 23 points in the final eight minutes to knock off
the Vikings in the semifinals of the PAL Tournament at
CUSD Event Center Friday night.
Rodney Lawrence scored a game-high 25 points, includ-
ing going 9 for 9 from the free throw line. Marquez
Costiniano added 12 for the Grizzlies.
Colby Vasquez led Mills with 16 points. Michael
Matsuno, who nailed nine 3-pointers in the Vikings’ first-
round win Thursday, added two more Friday — but they were
the only baskets he made as he finished with six points.

Hanyu takes gold
Japan’s Yuzuru Hanyu was introduced as the
Olympic gold medalist, leaping into the figure
skating history books Saturday, becoming the
first man to repeat as Olympic champion since
Dick Button in 1952.
“Just happy. I can’t say anymore, just
happy,” Hanyu said through his ever-present
smile. “I just did my best today. I don’t know if
this is the best of my skating life, but I can say
from my heart that I skated my best today.”
He held off countryman Shoma Uno and
Spain’s Javier Fernandez in the free skate.
Coach Brian Orser met Hanyu as he left the
ice after his strong but slightly flawed per-
formance. Then Orser, a two-time Olympic sil-
ver medalist who also coaches Fernandez,
rushed back to behind the sideboards to help
encourage the Spaniard.
Fernandez couldn’t match Hanyu.
Hanyu later congratulated Fernandez and told
him he wished both of them could have won.
“I told him, ‘Yes, Yuzu, but only one can be
champion. Only one can have the gold
medal,”’ Fernandez said.
Uno moved from third Friday to second,
loading a high-scoring quad and three triples
into the final minute of his routine.
“I knew which level of performance I per-
formed,” he said through a translator. “I did
what I intended to do.”

San Jose Stage proves genius

of Sondheim’s ‘Sweeney Todd’
By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Proof that Stephen Sondheim’s “Sweeney
Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” is
the work of a genius lies with San Jose
Stage Company’s production.
Winner of eight Tony Awards, this 1979
tale of a wronged barber’s revenge has been
seen on stages from Broadway to communi-
ty theaters. Both the San Francisco Opera
and San Francisco Symphony have present-
ed it.
Although the show is traditionally set in
Victorian London, this production appears
to be in the late ’20s or early ’30s, judging
by Abra Berman’s costumes. Director
Kenneth Kelleher uses only 10 actors.
Although many productions have used a
more expansive, two-level stage, scenic
and lighting designer Michael Palumbo
compresses the action into the venue’s
small, one-level space. It works because of
his design and Kelleher’s ingenious stag-
ing.
While the book by Hugh Wheeler has
intrinsic interest, Sondheim’s music and
clever lyrics carry the show — provided
they have actors who can handle them.
This production has them, starting with
Noel Anthony as the haunted Sweeney Todd,

A couple’s relationship over five decades

Magic Theatre stages world
premiere of ‘Reel to Reel’
By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

Maintaining a relationship over many decades often

depends on the little things.
That’s one theme of “Reel to Reel,” written and directed
by John Kolvenbach and receiving its world premiere at
Magic Theatre.
The relationship is between Maggie and Walter, who
spend 55 years and three months together. They’re seen
mainly when they meet at age 27 and start living together,
again at age 42 when they get married, and yet again when
they’re both 82 in 2050.
The 82-year-olds are portrayed by Carla Spindt as Maggie
2 and Will Marchetti as Walter 2. Their younger selves are
played by Zoë Winters as Maggie 1 and Andrew Pastides as
Walter 1.
Maggie has been fascinated by sound nearly all of her life
Andrew Pastides as Walter 1, Carla Spindt as Maggie 2, Will Marchetti as Walter 2 and Zoë Winters as Maggie 1 in ‘Reel to Reel.’ and has recorded hours and hours of it. She painstakingly
splices the results into slices of life that she uses in a per-
formance. Walter apparently is a filmmaker, but perhaps
not a serious one.

Walter 1 is a nerd who’s dismayed when the bold Maggie

The couple’s evolution is illustrated in scenes that switch

In addition, the actors portray other characters, such as

Harrowing tragedy in Russia’s Oscar nom ‘Loveless’
By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Russia’s foreign language Oscar nominee
“Loveless” is a beautifully shot and ele-
gantly constructed film about an already
broken family in a moment of crisis and
tragedy. It’s also one that is so bleak and
unpleasant to sit through, and sit with after-
ward, that I could honestly only recommend
“Loveless” with extreme caution, if at all.
The film from director Andrey
Zvyagintsev (the mastermind behind the
similarly bleak “Leviathan”) focuses in on
Zhenya (Maryana Spivak) and Boris
(Aleksey Rozin), who share a 12-year-old
child together and years of festering resent-
ment and hate for one another. They’ve all-
but dissolved their toxic relationship and
moved on with other partners, Zhenya with
an older, wealthier man with a grown daugh-
ter, and Boris with a younger, blonder and
sweeter woman, who is already well into a
pregnancy with his child. Zhenya is selling
her apartment. Boris has moved in with his
new girlfriend. And now they have to figure
out what to do with their son, Alyosha, who
neither of them wanted, and now want even
less.
Alyosha, played by actor Matvey
Novikov, is lanky and blonde and quiet. We
barely get a line of dialogue out of him, and
ents attempt to tolerate each other through
this process, which they both seem to think
of as more of an inconvenience than any-
thing else. This is a film that is so relent-
lessly cold-hearted that you get the sense
that Zhenya and Boris might almost prefer
it if their son doesn’t turn up — they are so
deeply selfish and resentful of his existence
that him being gone would actually allow
them both the fresh and baggage-free start
they both crave.
The Russian setting, outside of Moscow,
is similarly dreary — an uncomfortable
combination of pristine modernity and
decay in the grey and cold landscape — and
the radio and television broadcast only

Continued from page 23
crash was that people lie, and you have to
be ready to defend yourself. After being hit
by someone who completely ran a stop
sign, I was not expecting them to lie to
police officers and insurance companies
about what really happened. I was not pre-
pared for the allegations that would be
thrown my direction claiming I was the one
who ran through an intersection without
stopping.
But what really matters is how you
respond to such actions.
I recounted my story, which I know to be
the truth, to concerned friends and family
members, the police officers at the scene
and to agents from my family’s insurance
company. This experience forced me to
mature quickly; the old me would have cried
and complained about how unfair it was
that people were getting away with lying.
Instead, I stuck to my word and responded
to any questions and comments about the
collision in a civilized manner.
One month later, I have come to terms
with the fact that not all people have moral
intentions. Some people are so motivated
by their own interests that they’re willing
to bend the truth to protect themselves.
Being in a car crash has also taken a sig-
nificant toll on my confidence as a driver.
Despite the fact that I had made a complete
stop at the intersection where I was hit,
part of me still takes the blame for what
happened.
In the days immediately following the
crash, I found myself replaying the parts of
the event that I remembered and asking
myself what I could’ve done to prevent the
collision from occurring. I could’ve braked
faster. I could’ve looked both ways an extra
tion.
I remember guilt immediately flooding
my thoughts as I calculated the burden I had
just placed on my family. My car would
need to be fixed or replaced, which would
cost thousands of dollars, I would need
rides to and from school and work in the
interim that these changes were being
made, and my parents would question my
skills as a driver, which would make them
weary about me behind the wheel.
Looking back at my first car crash a
month later, I have a different opinion on
my actions following the event than I had
in the days directly after. I am lucky enough
to have forgiving parents who were more
concerned with my physical and mental
well-being rather than the financial costs
of my accident. I am grateful to have a car I
can drive, and especially grateful that
nobody was harmed in the crash; that’s
what matters the most.
Looking forward, I know that my first car
crash has forever changed the way I drive.
“Defensive driving” is essential for any car
ride, even the four-minute commute to my
high school. But I can’t be scared to get
back on the road; timid driving is just as
dangerous.
Should there be another time when I am
involved in a crash, I’ll have a better sense
of how to react. Despite the damage this
crash caused to everyone involved, there
were lessons I was able to take away from it
and become a safer and more informed driv-
er. And should there be another situation
where I see someone blatantly lie to the
cops, I’ll just reroll my footage. My par-
ents bought me a dash cam.

By Mark Kennedy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
One of the first images in the film
“Nostalgia” is of an heirloom neck-
lace dangling on the neck of a diner
waitress. One of the last images is of a
massive puffy cloud, ever shifting in
the wide sky.
Between these symbols of perma-
nence and flux is a deeply meditative
movie about time, loss and the stuff we
fiercely hold onto along the way.
“Nostalgia” is thoughtful and lyrical,
an unrushed poem with a first-rate cast.
Directed by Mark Pellington with a
screenplay by Alex Ross Perry, the
film is a mosaic of interconnected sto-
ries, linking a grizzled grandfather
(Bruce Dern), an insurance assessor
(John Ortiz,) a widow (Ellen Burstyn),
a memorabilia dealer (Jon Hamm) and
his family (including Catherine
Keener as his sister).
Ortiz’s patient, empathetic assessor
is the glue that connects the first two
characters we meet, the first of which
is the grandfather, whose home is
filled with personal mementos that are
priceless to him but junk to anyone
else.
His pregnant granddaughter — the
second pregnant woman we see,
stressing history and lineage — wants
to know everything’s value. But what
is the price of memories, of old love
letters, of a life lived? When the asses-
sor wants to take a picture of the
grandfather, he shoots back, “I’m not
a relic.”
The assessor next visits the widow,
whose house has burned down and
whom he meets in the sooty remains
of the place she’s called home for
decades. She had a split second during
the fire to save as much as she could
and, after grabbing jewelry, snatched
her husband’s prized baseball.
That ball leads Burstyn to Hamm as
she debates what to do with an object
that meant so much to her husband but
so little to her. It’s just a thing, so
why does it have such a gravitational
pull? If she sells it, her future is secure
but her family’s connection to it is
severed. “You won’t remember me,”
she tells the collector.
Hamm’s character, as you might
guess, is not wistful when it comes to
things. He buys and sells artifacts for
a living, after all, and is unsentimen-
tal, even when he goes to help his sis-
ter clean out his childhood home.
When she complains there are so
many memories attached to the home,
he curtly responds: “Make new ones.”
It’s at this point — roughly halfway
through “Nostalgia “ — when things
take a tragic turn and the memorabilia
dealer must soon confront his own cal-
lous views of mementos. This painful
detour into profound grief threatens to
warp the film, unbalance it — but
stick with it. Hamm’s character is
redeemed in a dumpster.
In terms of acting, the fact that
A
1 D
F >
6 >
0 6
Burstyn once more offers a complex,
haunted heroine is no surprise. But
everyone here is excellent. Ortiz
delivers a slightly magical paper-
pusher, Keener is a woman broken by
sadness as we watch helplessly, and
Hamm is as stoic outside as he is bro-
ken inside. Some tiny roles are made
to sparkle in the hands of Nick
Offerman, Patton Oswalt, James Le
Gros, Annalise Basso and Mikey
Madison.
Much of “Nostalgia” is shot as in a
quiet dream, often lingering in the
dark shadows. The camera never cap-
tures key dramatic events — that
house fire, for example — but rather
the immediate aftereffects. It never
flashes back, as you might expect in a
film about memories, but instead
lingers on the faces of actors as they
process emotions or focuses on sim-
ple items that hold intense meaning,
like keychains.
It sometimes takes on the quality of
a play, especially in several thought-
provoking monologues. But there are
also cinematic touches, like a gauzy
trip to Las Vegas. “Nostalgia” is not a
perfect film but it is moving and sen-
sitive. You leave with your head in the
clouds and a new view of your precious
stuff.
“Nostalgia, ” a Bleecker Street
release, is rated R by the Motion
Picture Association of America for
“some language.” Running time: 114
minutes. Three stars out of four.

sponse. You can find these court forms
and more information at the California
Courts Online Self-Help Center

time, you may lose the case by default,
and your wages, money, and property
may be taken without further warning

NOTICE TO DEFENDANT: ERNESTO
T. PASION, and DOES 1 to 10, inclusive
YOU ARE BEING SUED BY PLAINTIFF:
SERRA VISTA MAINTENANCE ASSO-
CIATION, a California non-profit mutual
benefit corporation
NOTICE! You have been sued. The court
may decide against you without your be-
ing heard unless you respond within 30
days. Read the information below.
You have 30 CALENDAR DAYS after
this summons and legal papers are
served on you to file a written response
at this court and have a copy served on
the plaintiff. A letter or phone call will not
protect you. Your written response must
be in proper legal form if you want the
court to hear your case. There may be a
court form that you can use for your re-
sponse. You can find these court forms
and more information at the California
Courts Online Self-Help Center
(www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp), your
county law library, or the courthouse
nearest you. If you cannot pay the filing
fee, ask the court clerk for a fee waiver
form. If you do not file your response on
time, you may lose the case by default,
and your wages, money, and property
may be taken without further warning
from the court.
There are other legal requirements. You
may want to call an attorney right away.
If you do not know an attorney, you may
want to call an attorney referral service. If
you cannot afford an attorney, you may
be eligible for free legal services from a
nonprofit legal services program. You
can locate these nonprofit groups at the
California Legal Services Web site
(www.lawhelpcalifornia.org), the Califor-
nia Courts Online Self-Help Center
(www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp), or by
contacting your local court or county bar
association. NOTE: The court has a stat-
utory lien for waived fees and costs on
any settlement or arbitration award of
$10,000 or more in a civil case. The
court's lien must be paid before the court
will dismiss the case. ¡AVISO! Lo han
demandado. Si no responde dentro de
30 días, la corte puede decidir en su
contra sin escuchar su versión. Lea la in-
formación a continuación.

spués de que le entreguen esta citación
y papeles legales para presentar una re-
spuesta por escrito en esta corte y hacer
que se entregue una copia al deman-

crito tiene que estar en formato legal cor-
recto si desea que procesen su caso en
la corte. Es posible que haya un formu-
lario que usted pueda usar para su re-
spuesta. Puede encontrar estos formu-
larios de la corte y más información en el
Centro de Ayuda de las Cortes de Cali-
fornia (www.sucorte.ca.gov), en la biblio-
teca de leyes de su condado o en la
corte que le quede más cerca. Si no

buses were purchased to replace outdated
ones, but the agency hopes the new design,
which includes WiFi and USB charging sta-
tions, will attract riders.
Lieberman said SamTrans is also looking
to purchase 10 electric buses —  also
equipped with WiFi and USB ports — later
this year.
“We figure new technology is always
enticing to people, especially in Silicon
Valley,” Lieberman said. “We have a really
nice modern fleet of clean buses that offer a
way on a one-way street, pale in compari-
son to those levied against those making
rolling right turns on red lights. He added
that a driver can come to a complete stop at
a red light and almost hit a pedestrian or car
while proceeding with a right turn — but
still only face half the penalty.
“It should fit the crime and it doesn’t,” he
said. “That’s what we’re trying to correct.”
Hill said an error in a bill passed in 1997
increasing the base fine for these types of
violations to $100 from $35 has turned into
an opportunity for cities to generate rev-
enue with few obvious gains to public safe-
ty. Because surcharges, penalties and other
assessments can be added to the base fine,
penalties can balloon to levels where they

pleasant riding experience.”
Lieberman said SamTrans updates its run
books three times a year to improve con-
nectivity and speed up travel times. This
year, SamTrans merged six routes that had
previously required riders to transfer.
In 2021, the agency hopes to launch a
Traffic Signal Priority feature, which will
allow buses on El Camino Real to more effi-
ciently navigate traffic lights. Buses will be
equipped with transponders that interact
with traffic signals to extend green lights
for buses or move the standard light cycle
faster so buses spend less time waiting at
red lights.
Lieberman also said SamTrans is consid-
ering an express bus service on 101, and it’s
preparing a survey for riders on El Camino
Real to learn more about how it could poten-
tially improve the route.
take-home pay, said Hill.
“It’s a ridiculous bail schedule that is
unfair to the driving public and cities are
capitalizing on that and filling their pock-
ets,” he said.
Though San Mateo County sheriff’s
spokesman Detective Sal Zuno said local
law enforcement officers are always going
to follow the law no matter what it is, he
doubted drivers are aware of the fines they
could incur if they violate the law.
“Generally speaking, drivers are com-
pletely unaware of what fines are on viola-
tions,” he said, adding that members of the
law enforcement will cite drivers based on
the violations they observe.
“Unfortunately, they don’t know that and
neither do we until they go to court.”

Lieberman said SamTrans hired a market-
ing outreach coordinator as part of its Youth
Mobility Plan, which the board signed off
on last year. The new coordinator will be
working closely with schools to engage
students, learn more about their needs and
get more people comfortable riding
SamTrans, he said.
“One of our big pushes is attracting
young people,” Lieberman said. “There’s a
lot of evidence that people who use transit
when they’re young keep using it. The more
we can make people comfortable with it the
better.”
Stone echoed this point, adding that more
young riders on SamTrans would help miti-
gate congestion. For those reasons, he said
he’d be in favor of making all youth passes
free.
Though the bill met the approval of legis-
lators last year, Hill said it got stalled in the
Appropriations Committee and died just
like bills he proposed in 2015 and 2016,
which also did not survive the legislative
process. The bill was vetoed by then-gover-
nor Arnold Schwarzenegger when he intro-
duced it for the first time as an assemblyman
in 2010.
Though Hill acknowledged the bill has
not been previously successful, he said the
unwavering, high volume of calls from res-
idents about the fines has compelled him to
continue to taking a stand to reduce fines
that should have never been this high.
“That’s why I haven’t let up on this and
that’s why I’m going to continue to fight,”
he said.

South African president pledges to ‘turn tide’ on corruption

By Christopher Torchia
and Nqobile Ntshangase
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAPE TOWN, South Africa — South
African President Cyril Ramaphosa deliv-
ered a message of optimism and renewal
Friday in his first state of the nation
address, saying it’s time for South Africans
to put discord behind them and that the
country will “turn the tide” on corruption in
state institutions this year.
Ramaphosa’s address capped a dramatic
week in which he was elected by ruling
party lawmakers following the resignation
of predecessor Jacob Zuma, whose tenure
was marked by corruption scandals. Zuma
was supposed to give the speech last week,
but it was postponed because of the leader-
ship crisis that fueled uncertainty and anxi-
ety in the country of 57 million people.

Ramaphosa,
who was Zuma’s deputy before becoming
South Africa’s fifth president since the end
of white minority rule in 1994.
“A new dawn is upon us,” he said in a
speech in parliament that drew applause but
was criticized by the opposition as short on
meaningful solutions.
“Cyril Ramaphosa’s plan for South Africa
is too much of a continuation of the Zuma
era,” said Mmusi Maimane, leader of the
opposition Democratic Alliance. “There is
no major policy reform, only some tinker-
ing with the current policies that have not
brought change to the lives of our people.
There were too many conferences and sum-
mits announced, and not enough clear plans
for fixing the problems.”
Ramaphosa, 65, faces the hard task of
rooting out corruption that flourished in
both state enterprises and the private sector
under Zuma, implicating figures in the rul-
ing African National Congress party that he
now leads. In addition, he must tackle slug-
gish economic growth, high unemploy-
ment and economic inequality that are
among South Africa’s most deep-rooted
problems.
