Burlingame City Hall workforce housing plan revived

City Council brings back vision for downtown civic center residential redevelopment
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Burlingame officials revived plans to
redevelop the downtown civic center into a
destination accommodating City Hall as
well as workforce housing, according to
priorities identified by councilmembers.
The Burlingame City Council laid out the
proposed project as part of a discussion
addressing infrastructure
concerns during an annu-
al goal setting meeting
during a weekend retreat
Saturday, Jan. 26.
The other priorities
include train track grade
separation, renovations
to accommodate residen-

Rollins Road, working against the threat of
sea level rise on the Bayfront and improve-
ments on El Camino Real.
But Mayor Donna Colson said the civic
center project is the only one requiring min-
imal partnership, establishing it as a pri-
mary interest for officials.
“We can control the destiny of this proj-
ect so it floats to the top of our priorities,”
said Colson.
She noted though city officials cannot
complete the project entirely on their own
due to a lack of financing, so opportunities
to collaborate with a residential developer
to build the housing component will be
sought. A subcommittee was formed to seek
input on the vision for the project, with
hopes to eventually issue a request for pro-

Weekend storm to bring high wind, rain
By Nicole Perez
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Bay Area residents can expect bracing
winds, landslides and power outages as a
nasty storm system drenches the region this
weekend.
Drivers should avoid the roads Saturday
morning, when wind gusts could reach as
high as 80 mph in Monterey Bay and up to
60 mph throughout the Bay Area, according
to the National Weather Service.
A high wind warning is in effect to 10
a.m. Saturday. The wind will topple trees
and likely cause widespread power outages,
meteorologist Drew Peterson said.
“Anyone trying to drive tomorrow is
probably going to have a pretty nasty
drive, no matter where they’re at,” Peterson
said.
The rain is expected to continue through
Saturday. A flash flood watch is in effect
until Saturday morning.
The showers should die down Sunday,
making travel more manageable for those
out and about for Super Bowl festivities.
Landslides, rock slides and mudslides are a
big concern, especially on Saturday. Some
roads near the Santa Cruz Mountains and the
East Bay Hills may have to close because of
the debris, according to Peterson.
Landslides are also possible in the North
Bay’s wildfire burn scars, though Peterson
said slow and steady rains may not have as
big an impact there. Meteorologists will be
watching the area closely.
Caltrans officials are worried about land-
slides along state Highway 1 and will close
a 44-mile stretch of the road in Big Sur. The
road will be closed between Deetjens and
Ragged Point which began at 5 p.m. Friday.
LOCAL
Rain is expected to continue through Saturday.
Officials anticipate reopening the road on
Monday, though that depends on whether
the road is damaged.
Boaters can expect choppy waves and
dangerous conditions, and should avoid the
water this weekend. A gale warning is in
effect until 9 p.m. Saturday, and a storm
warning is in effect overnight.
City officials in both San Jose and
Sunnyvale encouraged residents to pick up
sand bags if they live in low-lying areas
that may flood.

PG&E spent most for 2018 lobbying
By Kathleen Ronyane
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — Pacific Gas &
Electric Corp. spent nearly $10 mil-
lion on California lobbying efforts in
the year before the utility giant
declared bankruptcy, spending more
than any other entity seeking to influ-
ence California government in 2018.
The majority of that money — more
than $5 million — was spent for lob-
bying on proposals involving wildfire
safety and response, including whether
to reduce the strict liability utilities
face when their equipment sparks wild-
fires.
Lawmakers ultimately didn’t reduce
the liability but passed a law making it
easier for utilities to take out bonds to
cover wildfire damages and pass some
costs on to ratepayers.
“The actions we take are really on
behalf of our customers and employ-
ees, ” PG&E spokeswoman Lynsey
Paulo said about the spending on lob-
bying. The money comes from share-
holders, not ratepayers, she said.
PG&E, the nation’s largest utility,
filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy Tuesday as
it faces potentially tens of billions of
dollars in liability from devastating
wildfires that ripped through Northern
California in 2017 and 2018. The
bankruptcy filing could lead to smaller
payouts to wildfire victims and
increased costs for PG&E customers.
Paulo said worsening wildfires are
the biggest issue facing PG&E and one

Katie Phillips, a spokeswoman for
California Common Cause, a nonprof-

spent is “shocking.”
“It’s a demonstration that people are
just trying to buy influence in
Sacramento,” she said. “It’s really dis-
heartening to see that they were throw-
ing money around when people’s
homes and lives were at stake.”
The utility disclosed its most recent
lobbying numbers in a Thursday filing
with the California secretary of state.
Of the nearly $10 million spent,
about $9.6 million went toward gener-
al lobbying, which includes things
such as hiring in-house lobbyists or
major Sacramento firms to advocate on
behalf of legislation as well as paying
for meals or other perks for state law-
makers.

11-year prison sentence
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Five years after a San Francisco man stole
more than $6, 000 from two banks in
Millbrae and Burlingame, he received an 11-
year prison sentence on convictions of
felony robbery Friday, according to the San
Mateo County District Attorney’s Office.
Reginald Jones, 67, allegedly apologized
and said he didn’t mean any harm when he
addressed Judge Stephanie Garratt Friday.
client has had low self-esteem, was strug-
gling with a drug addiction at the time of the
robberies and skipped school when he was a
child, according to prosecutors.
Though Garratt allegedly said she recog-
nized all that Jones went through, she said
Jones had not said anything that could be an
excuse for putting a gun in someone’s face
and demanding money from them, according
to prosecutors.
Jones was arrested Feb. 20, 2014, after
surveillance footage at the two banks he
robbed and DNA recovered on a fake gun
used in one of the robberies were connected
to his profile on a federal DNA database,
according to prosecutors previously.
On Jan. 10, 2014, Jones is believed to
have robbed a Chase Bank on El Camino
Real in Millbrae with a demand note and a
fake gun he later discarded at a nearby gas
station, escaping with $4,800. On Feb.
14, 2014, Jones stole $1,568 from a Bank
of the West on Park Road in Burlingame
with a demand note, according to prosecu-
tors previously.
Video footage obtained
at a Burlingame Safeway
Jones visited an hour
before the Feb. 14,
2014, robbery matched
surveillance footage
taken at the two banks.
When Jones was arrest-
Reginald Jones ed, he was found with a
Safeway card he was
filmed using at the grocery store, according
to prosecutors.
In July of 2014, Jones’ defense attorney
expressed a doubt as to his competency and
two doctors later found him incompetent to
stand trial, according to prosecutors.
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe noted
Jones has two prior robbery convictions
dating back to 1983 and another robbery
conviction in 2008, along with several
other felony convictions, including burgla-
ries, care thefts and possession of stolen
property. Wagstaffe said he felt Garratt’s
sentence was appropriate for someone with
as long a record as Jones.
“For repeat violent offenders, we have to
lock them up,” he said. “We can’t simply
cuddle them.”
In custody on $750,000 bail, Jones is
expected to receive significant credit for

Donald Trump speaks during a meeting to ‘discuss fighting human trafficking on the southern border.’
Trump’s ‘America first’ mantra
will be prominent in address
By Deb Riechmann
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — For all of
President Donald Trump’s talk about
“America first,” the next two years of
his presidency could shine a sharp
spotlight on America abroad.
His State of the Union address next
week will be dissected for clues on
how he’ll deal with a full plate of for-
eign policy challenges. His words
will serve as fodder for ongoing parti-
san debate about whether his deci-
sions will have passing or long-last-
ing effects on the world.
Will he pull troops from
Afghanistan? Can he coax North
Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons
program? What will America’s future
role be in Syria?
What about U.S. power struggles
with China, Russia and Iran, instabil-
ity in the Middle East and U.S. rela-
tions with European allies?
“There is so much polarization
around this whole discussion of
Trump — pro-Trump, anti-Trump —
that it’s hard to make sweeping decla-
rations about the success or failure of
Trump’s foreign policy,” said John
Hannah, who has held foreign policy
posts in both Democratic and
Republican administrations.
“There’s been some good and some
bad, but also a risk that the presi-
dent’s own unpredictability is under-
cutting some of his important
achievements,” said Hannah, who is
now with the nonpartisan Foundation
for Defense of Democracies.
Trump campaigned on a nationalist
platform he calls “America first, ”
telling voters it was time to “shake
the rust off” conventional U.S. for-
eign policy and make addressing
problems at home the top priority.
His administration has torn up multi-

lateral treaties, has focused more
squarely on the threat from China —
its trade policies and theft of U.S.
intellectual property — and wants to
pull America out of what Trump calls
“endless wars.”
Nobody seemed fully prepared,
though, for Trump’s bull-in-a-china-
shop approach to foreign relations —
picking fights with allies, embracing
Russia, announcing via Twitter an
abrupt withdrawal of U.S. troops from
Syria and rattling nuclear sabers with
North Korea’s Kim Jong Un.
At the halfway mark of his term,
Trump will use his address to
Congress next week to talk about
progress in fighting Islamic State
militants, who have suffered a signif-
icant loss of real estate in Syria
through pressure from the U.S. and its
partners, though intelligence offi-
cials say the threat has not been
extinguished.

Women will surround Trump
at State of the Union address
By Laurie Kellman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Pelosi behind and above. Female immi-
grants, gazing down from the balcony. A black woman who
ran a close race for governor of Georgia,
rebutting.
When President Donald Trump delivers
his first State of the Union address under
divided government on Tuesday, he’ll be
surrounded by these and other living
reminders of the 2018 elections that
delivered Democrats the House majority
and a record number of women to
Nancy Pelosi Congress.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will sit
just over his shoulder on the dais, on-camera, looking out
at the assembled lawmakers, Cabinet members, Supreme
Court justices and diplomats. Seated in front of Trump will
be a record number of women House members, most
Democrats and some dressed in easy-to-spot white. And in
the gallery overhead? Two former employees of Trump’s
New Jersey golf club, women and immigrants, who have
spoken out about its hiring practices.
Afterward, Stacey Abrams will become the first black
woman to deliver the Democratic rebuttal.
“I hope she does a good job. I respect her,” Trump said
Thursday of Abrams, who narrowly lost the race for Georgia
governor to the president’s ally, Brian Kemp. The president
pledged to deliver a speech rooted in a theme of “unity,”
even as he renewed his demand for a border wall as a condi-
tion of keeping the government open past Feb. 15. Before
he spoke in the Oval Office Thursday, Pelosi again rebuffed
the demand and belittled him on national security matters.

Trump health chief asks
Congress to pass drug discount plan
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration’s top health
official asked Congress on Friday to pass its new prescrip-
tion drug discount plan and provide it to all patients, not
just those covered by government programs like Medicare.
The plan would take now-hidden rebates among industry
players like drug companies and insurers and channel them
directly to consumers when they go to pay for their medica-
tions.
Patients with high drug copays stand to benefit from the
proposal, while people who take no prescription drugs, or
who rely on generics mainly, would probably pay some-
what more, since premiums are expected to rise.
A day after unveiling the plan as a proposed regulation,
Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar raised the
stakes by calling on Congress to make it law and broaden it
to include people covered by employer health insurance,
not just Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries.
“Congress has an opportunity to follow through on their
calls for transparency ... by passing our proposal into law
immediately and extending it into the commercial drug mar-
ket,” Azar said.

Human toll of cold
More than two dozen dead and hundreds hurt
By Steve Karnowski
and Tammy Webber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — The dangerous cold and
heavy snow that hobbled the northern
U.S. this week has retreated, but not
before exacting a human toll: more
than two dozen weather-related deaths
in eight states and hundreds of
injuries, including frostbite, broken
bones, heart attacks and carbon
monoxide poisoning.
In Illinois alone, hospitals reported
more than 220 cases of frostbite and
hypothermia since Tuesday, when the
polar vortex moved in and overnight
temperatures plunged to minus 30 or
lower — with wind chills of minus 50
or worse in some areas.
Hennepin Healthcare in
Minneapolis normally sees around 30
frostbite patients in an entire winter. It
admitted 18 in the past week, spokes-
woman Christine Hill said Friday.
“I definitely saw more frostbite than
I’ve ever seen in my entire career just
in the last three days,” said Dr. Andrea
Rowland-Fischer, an emergency
department physician at Hennepin
Healthcare.
Most of those patients, she said, had
underlying problems that made it diffi-
cult for them to take care of them-
selves: the developmentally delayed,
the mentally ill, the very young and
the very old. They also included peo-
ple with injuries related to drugs and
alcohol — people who passed out or
Northwest measles cases prompt look at vaccine exemptions
By Gillina Flaccus
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
VANCOUVER, Wash. — A measles
outbreak near Portland, Oregon, has
revived a bitter debate over so-called
“philosophical” exemptions to child-
hood vaccinations as public health
officials across the Pacific Northwest
scramble to limit the fallout.
At least 43 people in Washington

weeks with the extraordinarily conta-
gious virus, which was eradicated in

injured.
“It’s heartbreaking when there are
people who can’t take care of them-
selves and get exposed, just because
they either escape from the care that
they’re being given or because they’re
not being supervised.”
Others got frostbite on their way to
work after being exposed to the cold
for a short time, often on their hands,
feet, ears and face. That included peo-
ple whose cars would not start or who
got stuck outside for other reasons, as
well as those who just did not think
nization but arrives periodically with
overseas travelers. More than a dozen
more cases are suspected, and people
who were exposed to the disease trav-
eled to Hawaii and Bend, Oregon, rais-
ing the possibility of more diagnoses
in the unvaccinated.
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee last
week declared a state of emergency
because of the outbreak.
“I would hope that this ends soon,
but this could go on for weeks, if not
months,” said Dr. Alan Melnick, pub-
lic health director in Clark County,

other protective gear.
Several required “maximal treat-
ment,” admission to the hospital’s
burn unit for therapies that include
drugs to restore circulation to try to
avoid amputations. Some of them will
probably still require amputations, a
decision usually made by burn doctors
four to 10 days after the injury.
Many people decided to stay home
even when they were sick to avoid
slippery roads and subzero tempera-
tures.
The county has had most of the diag-
nosed cases so far. “This is an exquis-
itely contagious disease.”
The outbreak has lawmakers in
Washington state revisiting non-med-
ical exemptions that allow children to
attend school without vaccinations if
their parents or guardians express a
personal objection. Liberal-leaning
Oregon and Washington have some of
the nation’s highest statewide vaccine
exemption rates, driven in part by low
vaccination levels in scattered commu-
nities and at some private and alterna-
tive schools.

that shows a person in blackface and another wearing a Ku

Virginia’s governor
apologizes for racist
imagery in yearbook
By Alan Suderman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RICHMOND, Va. — Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam
acknowledged Friday that he appears in a photo on his
1984 medical school yearbook page that shows a person in
blackface and another wearing a Ku Klux Klan robe.
The revelation of the photograph prompted state
Republicans and two Democratic presidential candidates to
call for his resignation. Northam quickly apologized.
The Democratic governor confirmed in a statement that
he was in the photo wearing a costume “that is clearly
racist and offensive.” Northam did not say which costume
he was wearing.
“This behavior is not in keeping with who I am today and
the values I have fought for throughout my career in the
military, in medicine, and in public service. But I want to
be clear, I understand how this decision shakes Virginians’
faith in that commitment,” he said.
The governor did not say he would resign, despite wide-
spread calls that he do so. Those included calls from
Democratic presidential hopefuls Julian Castro and Kamala
Harris, as well as the NAACP.
Whether the governor remains in office is in doubt and
largely hinges on whether he can maintain support
among the state’s black pastors, officials and state law-
makers, many of whom have long personal relation-
ships with Northam since he first ran for state Senate in
2007.
The Virginia Legislative Black Caucus issued a statement
late Friday saying “we feel complete betrayal” and are “still
processing” the pictures.
“What has been revealed is disgusting, reprehensive and
offensive,” the statement said.

The importance of learning new languages
By Brooke Hanshaw
G
rowing up not just in
California, but in the Bay
Area, exposed me to an
excessive amount of new and differ-
ent languages throughout my life
thus far. I’ve heard languages from
all around the globe spoken in my
community, yet the only ones offered
at Aragon are Spanish, Chinese and
Japanese. Other schools in our San
Mateo Union High School District
offer different courses, for instance
American Sign Language, French and
Italian, but Spanish and Chinese are
constants throughout most schools
with the most languages offered at
one school being three. Coming
from the standpoint of the public
school system, there simply isn’t
enough money or resources to open
up more classes for new languages.
Each school has a language depart-
ment that satisfies graduation and
University of California require-
ments for admission — which is one
year of language education.
Beginning in Spanish one, for
instance, gives you a year of basic
Spanish education in a classroom
where the teacher speaks English
most, if not all, of the time. In my
personal experience, as someone
who has only ever spoken English, I
had no real Spanish speaking or
understanding skills until I reached
Spanish honors, the fourth level at
my school. Now, in advanced place-
ment Spanish, I’m only beginning
to realize just how useful learning a
second language is. Many children
don’t take classes past levels two or
three, simply to satisfy graduation
requirements and move on. One real-
ly only gains skills they are able to
take away and use in real life in the
uppermost levels of language, one
most students never reach. I find it
unfortunate and disappointing many
students don’t seem to find interest
in speaking new languages but, then
again, our school systems don’t pri-

oritize it.
Speaking more
than one language
is proven to
increase social and
education skills,
allowing those who
are bilingual or
even multilingual
to have increased
social awareness and ability. The
World Economic Forum states that,
in their analyzing many studies of
bilingual brains, those who are
bilingual or multilingual develop
signs of Alzheimer’s five years later
than those who speak only one lan-
guage. It’s important to note that on
top of that advantage, those who
speak more than one language are
also better equipped to manage and
fight the disease than their monolin-
gual counterparts. Speaking more
than one language has its many
health benefits; additionally, tests
around the world prove that monolin-
gual individuals are simply less
open-minded and successful in find-
ing new and creative ways to exam-
ine the world. Those who speak mul-
tiple languages have the ability to
examine things in our society differ-
ently, opening up new opportunities
for learning in every manner possi-
ble. Another benefit of learning a
new language is obvious — it helps
in the workplace. Speaking another
language next to a mainstream one
such as English or Spanish allows
for one to stand out on resumes, get
higher positions in companies and
overall communicate with a more
extensive and diverse population.
These advantages are significant
and arguably just as important as
advantages in “core” school sub-
jects. Prioritizing speaking a second
language may not be at the top of the
list now, but think of it like this:
Colleges are extremely hard to gain
acceptances to now, in 2019. What
happens in five, 10, 15 years? What
will make someone stand out when
it’s the standard to have a 4.0 and
excel in math and science? Unless
and even offensive. I was offended
when the Nazis marched through
Skokie, Illinois, wearing Swastikas
in 1977. The ACLU vigorously
defended them.
I don’t happen to share most of the
views of Donald Trump’s supporters.
But I believe they have the right to
express their opinions even if it
offends some people. Liberals can’t
advocate for their right to push their
beliefs while denying that same right
to conservatives. Wursthall’s policy

OPINION
drastic changes are made to our edu-
cation systems and colleges suddenly
decide to lower their expectations,
pursuing language education
throughout all four years of high
school and even before could push
some students above others. Having
the skills to adapt in social situa-
tions, converse with a diverse popu-
lation and take advantage of all the
benefits language has to offer gives
those who pursue it major advantage
over those who are left behind speak-
ing only one language, having only
one method of communication with
the world.
Old or young or in between, it’s
not all about the steps you take or
have taken in high school.
Revolutionary programs such as
Rosetta Stone and apps such as
Duolingo allow for almost anyone to
enhance their brain and their percep-
tions of everyday life. There is
absolutely no shame in speaking
only one language, especially if one
wasn’t given the opportunity to
learn in earlier years. However,
recent stories such as a professor at
Duke University asking students to
stop speaking Chinese in university
buildings scare and disappoint me.
Since when did we feel threatened by
the unknown? We explore and
encourage learning in every aspect of
life, and I believe language should be
equal when encouraged as something
to explore and learn as well.

Selling downtown
A
head of each City Council meeting, Redwood
City emails an agenda to those signed up to
receive them. When I received the agenda for the
Monday, Jan. 28, meeting, I was delighted to learn that
the council would hear a report of findings and recommen-
dations from the Downtown Retail Task Force.
Each week I try to take a couple of walks to gather ideas
and information for my columns and blog posts. Given
the amount of activity going on there, each week I usually
take one walk through downtown Redwood City. I’ve got-
ten very familiar with our downtown businesses, and I’ve
developed a keen interest in our downtown retail — or
lack thereof.
Many, many years ago Redwood City’s downtown was
teeming with retail establishments. Montgomery Ward,
F.W. Woolworth, J.C. Penney, Sprouse-Reitz, Western
Auto Supply, Thom McAn shoes and Florsheim shoes
were just some of the many national retailers who had
stores in downtown Redwood City. As well there were
countless independents, such as Schneider’s, which sold
clothing for boys and men. Plus, downtown had a number
of grocery and drug stores.
As noted by the Downtown
Retail Task Force, although
these days there are a smatter-
ing of downtown stores selling
a variety of goods to the public,
most of the ground-floor spaces
in Redwood City’s downtown
are occupied by restaurants,
service businesses and offices.
Downtown Redwood City has
become an entertainment and
dining destination, one that is
drawing people from far and
wide. Add to those visitors the Greg Wilson
many new people living and
working in our new downtown buildings, and you have a
critical mass that has attracted those restaurants and serv-
ice businesses.
As noted by the council, our busy downtown isn’t such a
bad problem to have. But for those who want downtown
Redwood City to be a place where they can also shop,
there are a number of challenges to overcome.
For one, downtown’s newfound popularity, coupled with
our booming economy, has driven up rents. These days,
lease rates for ground-floor spaces have crossed the
threshold for most retailers, putting them out of reach.
The rates are not too high for most restaurants, though, or
for businesses that need office space: They can afford to
pay more than most retail stores can.
Even if the rents were lower, though, Redwood City’s
currently low vacancy rate — about 2 percent — means
that there are few vacant spaces into which retailers can
move. And of those spaces that are available, most aren’t
well-suited for retail use. Retailers need space of a certain
size and shape to succeed, and many of our available store-
fronts are simply too small.
Fortunately, that fact may have been considered by the
designers of some of our under-construction buildings.
Both the building at the corner of Broadway and Jefferson
Avenue, and the one on Main Street next door to
Angelicas, have good-sized ground-floor retail spaces,
ones that I’m hoping were designed with actual retailers in
mind. But just as restaurants prefer to cluster — restau-
rants want to be near other restaurants — so do retailers.
Main Street currently has a smattering of small shops, so
with luck its new retail space will help spark a revitaliza-
tion of Main Street as a shopping venue. As for the build-
ing at Broadway and Jefferson Avenue, its retail space is
large enough — roughly 25,000 square feet — that it
could either house a single large retail establishment or a
couple of smaller ones. Although that flexibility is a big
plus, it must contend with what may be an equally big
minus: There is no other retail nearby. Even if it can
attract a great new retailer or two, this new building just
might find itself an island of retail in a sea of restaurants.
Perhaps one of the most important lines in the well-
written task force report is this: “retail businesses do not
create demand; they respond to demand.” Increasing num-
bers of people living, working and visiting Redwood
City’s downtown have, and should continue to, attract the
attention of retailers, who want to be where people are.
Assuming that we can free up enough retail spaces of the
right size, and as long as the rent isn’t too outlandish,
some retailers should move back in. With luck, those
retail spaces in our new downtown buildings just may be
the catalyst that causes retail to return to downtown
Redwood City.
My wife and I spend a fair amount of time downtown, at
its theaters and its drinking and dining establishments,
but we would love to be able to shop there, too. If you
share that desire, I recommend that you read the report pre-
sented to the City Council at its Jan. 28 meeting. You’ll
find it attached to the meeting agenda, which itself can be
found at redwoodcity.org.

Stocks eke out gains after bumpy day

By Damian J. Troise
and Alex Veiga
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Stocks capped a bumpy day of
trading Friday with modest gains,
extending the market’s winning
streak to its third straight day.
Gains in technology compa-
nies, energy stocks and banks out-
weighed losses in retailers and
elsewhere in the market.
Major indexes were higher much
of the morning as investors
applauded a burst of hiring in
January by U.S. employers. That
enthusiasm was tempered, howev-
er, by a disappointing revenue
outlook from Amazon.
The solid jobs report came two
days after investors got encourag-
ing news from the Federal
Reserve, which confirmed that it

Tech companies, states spar
with gov’t over net neutrality
By Marcy Gordon and Tali Arbel
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Tech companies
and nearly two dozen U. S. states
clashed with the government in federal
court Friday over the repeal of net neu-
trality, a set of Obama-era rules aimed
at preventing big internet providers
from discriminating against certain
technology and services.
Judges challenged arguments made
by both sides in the faceoff in an
appeals court in Washington.
Lawyers for the states and the compa-
nies tried to persuade the three-judge
panel to restore the net neutrality
regime, set in 2015 during the Obama
administration and repealed in
December 2017 at the direction of a reg-
ulator appointed by President Donald
Trump. The companies challenging the
FCC action include Mozilla, developer
of the Firefox web browser, and Vimeo,
a video-sharing site.
The net neutrality rules had banned
cable, wireless and other broadband
providers from blocking or slowing
down websites and apps of their
choosing, or charging Netflix and
other video services extra to reach
viewers faster.
The practice of slowing down trans-
mission is known as “throttling.”
The action by the Federal
Communications Commission rolling
back the neutrality rules “is a stab in
the heart of the Communications Act,”
said attorney Pantelis Michalopoulos,
referring to the Depression-era law
that established the FCC.
The FCC wrongly classified the
internet as an information service
rather than a telecoms service, using
that as a rationale for not cracking
down on misconduct by big internet
providers, Michalopoulos said, who
represents Mozilla and the other com-
panies in the case.
Government lawyers, as well as big
internet providers such as AT&T,
Verizon and Comcast, argued to keep
net neutrality repealed.
Thomas Johnson, the FCC’s general
counsel, said the agency’s “light-
touch” regulatory scheme, requiring
the internet providers to disclose their
practices and operations, provides ade-
quate safeguards. The internet — used
more extensively to transmit informa-
tion — is different both in nature and
function from phone service, Johnson
maintained. It therefore should be reg-
ulated as an information service and
not subject to the utility-style over-
sight of phone companies, he said.
The politically charged issue has
emerged from its origins as an engi-
neering challenge to become an anti-
monopoly rallying point and even a
focus for “resistance” to the Trump
administration.
Once Trump took office, net neutral-
ity became one of his first targets as
part of broader government deregula-
tion. The FCC chairman he appointed,
Ajit Pai, made rolling back net neutral-
ity a top priority.

As Wall Street spasmed with fear, 401(k) savers held steady

By Stan Choe
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — While professional
traders on Wall Street scrambled to
sell stocks amid a fear-fueled, nearly
20 percent drop for the S&P 500 late
last year, most people at home
remained relatively calm when it
came to their own retirement sav-
ings.
So say numbers from Fidelity
Investments, which show that the
vast majority of 401(k) participants
continued to sock savings away in
their accounts and refrained from the
perhaps-tempting choice to abandon
stocks and hide out in the safety of
cash.
Investors held the steadfast
approach even as the average 401(k)
balance dropped to $95,600 by the
end of the year, down 10 percent from
three months earlier. The chief culprit
was a fear about a possible recession,
which sent the S&P 500 down 19.8
percent between setting its latest
record high on Sept. 20 and hitting a
bottom on Christmas Eve.
It’s an encouraging sign because
stocks have historically provided the
best returns over the long term. So, as
long as someone is willing to stom-
ach such bouts of volatility and hold
on for years, owning stocks is one of
the best ways an investor can have a
bigger pot to pay for retirement.
“The most encouraging thing is
that most people didn’t have a knee-
jerk reaction, and they continued to
save or increased their savings rates”
said Jeanne Thompson, senior vice
president at Fidelity. “This is the
proof that the messaging has gone
through. We’ve come a long way in
the last 10 years.”
Much of the credit goes to one of
the most powerful forces in invest-
ing: inertia. People often lean toward
making no changes, particularly
when it involves something as big
and complicated as saving for retire-
ment. Employers and the investment
industry have tried to harness that for
good by automatically enrolling
workers into 401(k) plans, automati-
cally setting them up to increase their
contributions each year and automati-
cally placing their savings into tar-
get-date retirement funds.

Boko Haram kills at least 60
in Nigeria attack: Amnesty
By Amelia Nierenberg
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DAKAR, Senegal — Boko Haram
has killed at least 60 people in a “dev-
astating” attack on the northeastern
Nigeria border town of Rann, Amnesty
International said Friday, calling it
one of the deadliest assaults by the
extremist group in its nearly decade-
long insurgency.
Fighters on motorcycles drove
through the town near the Cameroon
border on Monday morning, setting
houses on fire and killing people left
behind, the international rights group
said in a series of Twitter posts. The
fighters also chased residents fleeing
the “massive attack” and killed several
outside town.
Amnesty published satellite imagery
that it said showed “hundreds of burned
structures. ” Many likely served as
shelters for displaced people who had
arrived in recent months seeking pro-
tection. Most of Rann is “now
destroyed,” the group said.
The attack came as Nigeria faces
what it has called an extremist resur-
gence, posing a serious challenge for
President Muhammadu Buhari as he
seeks re-election in two weeks’ time.
His administration once claimed Boko
Haram had been “crushed” or “techni-
cally defeated,” while the military has
faced questions over low morale and
support.
Rann also was attacked in mid-
January, sending at least 9,000 people
fleeing to Cameroon, according to aid
agencies.
More than 30, 000 joined them
across the border in late January, the
United Nations refugee agency said.
Thousands more fled to nearby Chad,
the refugee agency said.
“Many people were in a state of
shock and were clearly distressed by
what they had witnessed. Now they
have lost all that they have and need
absolutely everything, ” Hugues
Robert, the Nigeria program director
for Doctors Without Borders, said fol-

lowing the mid-January attack.
A nurse with the medical charity said
the normally bustling town was “like a
graveyard” following that attack.
“There was still smoke drifting in the
sky and the fires were still burning in
places, ” Isa Sadq Bwala said. “All
that’s left are piles of ashes.”
Far-flung Rann has played a tragic
role in Nigeria’s fight against Boko
Haram. In January 2017, Nigeria’s air
force mistakenly launched an airstrike
on a refugee camp in the town because
it said the camp was not appropriately
marked as a humanitarian base on its
maps. Officials and community leaders
said between 100 and 236 people were
killed.
In March of last year, three workers
for United Nations agencies were
among 11 people killed in a Boko
Haram attack on a military base in
Rann.
Three health workers were abducted.
Two have since been killed despite
urgent pleas from the aid community
to spare their lives.

Cuban evangelicals
push back against
gay marriage rights
By Andrea Rodriguez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HAVANA — A Cuban government push to legalize gay
marriage has set off an unprecedented reaction from the
island’s rapidly growing evangelical churches, whose mem-
bers are expected to widely reject a state-proposed constitu-
tional reform in a nationwide referendum this month.
The reform is almost certain to pass by a broad margin of
Cuba’s 7 million voters — language opening the door to
gay marriage is only one element of the reform — but the
evangelical vote could shave hundreds of thousands of
votes from its victory.
With many pastors promoting “no” votes from the pul-
pit, the swelling evangelical rejection of the constitution
is a novel development for a state that prides itself on pro-
jecting an image of ideological unanimity. Cuban govern-
ment-endorsed candidates and proposals typically receive
‘yes’ votes well above 90 percent in one of last communist
nations on earth, now in the 60th year of its socialist revo-
lution.
“I can’t vote for something that goes against my princi-
ples. It’s sad but it’s a reality,” said pastor Alida Leon, pres-
ident of the Evangelical League of Cuba. Hers is one of a
dozen evangelical denominations that are actively speak-
ing out against the reform. There are an estimated 100 evan-
gelical denominations active in Cuba, 52 legally regis-
tered, and many are taking softer lines against the new con-
stitution, or staying officially neutral. The same is true for
many Catholic and non-evangelical protestant clergy.
There is no official count of evangelicals in Cuba, whose
people have historically been Catholics and followers of
the African religions known as Yoruba or Santeria.

Iran begins marking 40th
anniversary of Islamic Revolution
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran on Friday began celebrations to
mark the 40th anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution
that toppled the U.S.-backed shah, overturned 2,500 years
of monarchical rule and brought hard-line Shiite clerics to
power.
The climactic events that year — from revolutionaries in
the streets of Tehran to blindfolded American hostages in
the U.S. Embassy hostage crisis months later — not only
changed Iran’s history but also helped shape today’s Middle
East. The festivities start every year on Feb. 1 — the day
Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini returned home from France
after 14 years in exile, to become the supreme leader of the
Islamic Republic of Iran.
Across Iran, sirens wailed from trains and boats, while
church bells tolled at 9:33 a.m. — the exact time that
Khomeini’s chartered Air France Boeing 747 touched down
40 years ago at Tehran’s Mehrabad International Airport.

JOBS
Continued from page 1
porarily unemployed jumped 175,000, with
most of that increase consisting of federal
workers and contractors affected by the
shutdown.
The government on Friday also sharply
revised down its estimates of job growth in
November and December. Still, hiring has
accelerated since last summer, a develop-
ment that has surprised economists because
hiring typically slows when unemployment
is so low.
“The overwhelming conclusion from
today’s numbers is that the U.S. labor mar-
ket remained incredibly strong at the start
of 2019,” said Leslie Preston, senior econ-
omist at TD Economics.
Diane Swonk, chief economist at Grant
Thornton, said that many federal workers
and contractors likely went out and found
part-time work during the 35-day shutdown.
The ability of many of them to do so is
itself a sign of the job market’s strength,
Swonk said.
Last month’s healthy job gain will
assuage some concerns that had arisen about
the U.S. economy. Global growth is weak-
ening, the Trump administration is engaged
in a trade war with China and higher mort-
gage rates have slowed home sales. Those
factors have led many economists to fore-
cast slower growth this year compared with
2018.

Economic Institute, sees another side of
what many consider regional problems.
In addressing the San Mateo
County/Silicon Valley Convention and
Visitors Bureau last week, Weinberg noted
the concentration of high-technology
jobs, venture capital investment and
Fortune 500 companies in the Bay Area rel-
ative to other regions and metropolitan
areas. Though he acknowledged stories cir-
culating of businesses moving out of the
Bay Area, Weinberg emphasized the flow of
jobs, businesses and venture capital fund-
ing into the Bay Area exceeds movement of
economic activity out of the region.
“If we’re talking about the Bay Area
economy, we just have to acknowledge that
that economy is extraordinarily strong and

a very long period of time,” he said.

incomes, fueling more consumer spending,
which would help drive economic growth.
Most sectors of the economy reported
solid hiring gains in January. Education and
health care added 55,000 jobs, retailers
nearly 21,000 and professional and busi-
ness services, which includes such higher-
paying positions as engineers and archi-
tects, 30,000.
The ongoing demand for workers is lead-
ing some businesses to offer higher pay to
attract and keep staff. Average hourly wages
rose 3.2 percent in January from a year ear-
lier. That’s just below the annual gain of 3.3
percent in December, which matched
October and November for the fastest
increase since April 2009.
Teresa Carroll, an executive at the staffing
firm Kelly Services, said her company has
explained to many clients that they have to
pay more to find the workers they need.
Some employers are still reluctant to offer
higher pay, which has made it harder for
them to find and keep workers, she said.
“They’ve enjoyed two decades of minimal
pay growth in general,” she said. “It’s our
job to educate our clients about the labor
market.”
On a monthly basis, from December to
January, wages barely rose, though. That’s
likely to keep the Federal Reserve unlikely
to raise interest rates in the coming
months, economists said. Chairman Jerome
Powell said earlier this week that the case
for raising the Fed’s benchmark rate had
weakened. Many economists and investors
took that as a sign that a rate increase is
unlikely any time in the coming months.
Swonk cautioned that some quirks likely
Weinberg rooted the region’s economic
strength in its workforce and noted the
challenges workers face in finding housing
near their jobs, describing the region as
the heart of the international innovation
ecosystem. With an increasingly small
number of innovation hubs across the
globe, he acknowledged Bay Area jobs will
continue to attract workers and demand for
housing will continue to increase.
“If people really want economic oppor-
tunity, they really have to be here in the
Bay Area,” he said. “That, really, I think
increases the imperative to provide hous-
ing for them.”
Noting the Bay Area builds fewer units
per new resident than other major metro-
politan areas, Weinberg acknowledged the
region’s housing production has been
viewed as a limiting factor in businesses’
ability to attract and retain high-quality
staff at all levels.
But he also looked to high home prices
and other trends such as traffic congestion
and parking scarcity as a function of the
region’s economic success, noting the dif-
inflated last month’s job gain. For exam-
ple, some of the furloughed federal workers
and contractors who took part-time jobs
during the 35-day government shutdown
might have been counted as having two
jobs during January. Now that the shutdown
has ended, these people will go back to
being counted as having just one job begin-
ning in February.
And for most of January, the weather was
relatively warm in much of the United
States, which likely boosted construction
employment. Builders added 52,000 jobs,
the most in nearly a year.
The strong job market, though, is encour-
aging more people who weren’t working to
begin looking. The proportion of
Americans who either have a job or are
seeking one — which had been unusually
low since the recession ended a decade ago
— reached 63.2 percent in January, the
highest level in more than five years.
Jessica Jacumin began a permanent job a
month ago as a cook at an assisted living
facility in Augusta, Georgia, after working
there as a paid intern. Before that, she had
been out of work and mostly not looking
while she spent 18 months studying culi-
nary arts at Helms College, a career school
sponsored by Goodwill Industries.
Though Jacumin, 42, and her husband
both have Navy pensions, her new job has
provided much-needed income and health
insurance. That, in turn, has allowed their
family to spend a bit more freely.
“I am right now planning our first family
vacation in three years,” she said.
Jacumin, her husband and three chil-
dren will head to Hilton Head in South
ficulty other regions have in attracting
new businesses and providing job opportu-
nities to their residents. In contrast to
other economies with high home prices,
Weinberg noted, the Bay Area’s growing
homeless population is a different kind of
problem, one that should be addressed in
part through its economic success.
“When you look around the world, high
housing prices are the hallmark of a strong
economy,” he said. “On the other hand,
homelessness is not.”
Weinberg counted the U.S. trade war with
China and the lack of investment in capital
expenditures following the corporate tax
cuts among the region’s economic chal-
lenges.
By channeling funds into stock buy-
backs, which he said have inflated the
stock indices, companies have opted
against capital expenditures, which
Weinberg felt would support the region for

Carolina in July.
The partial government shutdown caused
800,000 workers to miss two paychecks.
But because these workers will eventually
receive back pay, they were counted as
employed in the survey of businesses that
produces the monthly job gain.
But in a separate survey of households
that’s used to calculate the unemployment
rate, some of these people were counted as
temporarily jobless. That’s a key reason
why the unemployment rate rose despite the
healthy job gain.
Most economists have forecast that the
shutdown will likely slow economic growth
for the first three months of this year. But
some say that even businesses that lost
income from the shutdown likely held onto
their staffs, knowing that the shutdown
would only be temporary.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget
Office estimates that the shutdown slowed
annual growth for the January-March quarter
by about 0.4 percentage point, to a rate of
2.1 percent, though that loss should lead to
a bounce-back later this year.
The partial government shutdown has
delayed the release of a range of government
data about the economy, including statistics
on housing, factory orders, and fourth-quar-
ter growth.
The reports that have been released have
been mixed. The Federal Reserve’s industri-
al production report showed that manufac-
turing output rose in December by the most
in nearly a year, boosted by auto produc-
tion. But consumer confidence fell in
January for a third straight month.
Though Weinberg was hesitant to make
predictions about the region’s economic
future, he said the status of the region’s job
market is one of the most basic indicators
of what’s to come. Noting the difficulty a
worker faces in entering the labor market
from a period of unemployment, Weinberg
was encouraged by the influx of workers
into the job market.
“We’ve actually gotten back to the point
in the economic cycle where more and
more people are coming in off the side-
lines,” he said. “That ends up having sort
of a positive effect.”
Because many who attended Weinberg’s
keynote have heard more negative predic-
tions for the future, Anne LeClair, presi-
dent of the San Mateo County/Silicon
Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau,
said his positivity in reviewing the
region’s economic future was appreciated.
She said those in the hospitality industry
have observed a strong international visi-
tors market in recent years and largely feel
optimistic about occupancy rates in 2019,
but noted no one has a crystal ball.
But she also acknowledged the region’s
tight housing market and growing home-
less population resonated as a concern for
many who attended. Even with opportuni-
ties for workers in the hospitality industry
to pursue education and advance in their
careers, LeClair noted the region’s housing
shortage is still on the minds of many.
“I think it’s those issues are a challenge
for many people,” she said. “I am happy to
say that in the hospitality industry, hotels
in particular, a person can work his [or her]
way up pretty quickly.”

South City claims
PAL North crown
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
This year’s Lady Warriors are a different
brand of basketball.
Call them a dynasty nonetheless.
The South City girls’ basketball team (10-
0 PAL North, 15-7 overall) clinched its
fourth straight Peninsula Athletic League
North Division championship Friday night
with a 50-44 win at Terra Nova. The
Warriors, with two games remaining on
their league slate, can do no worse than a tie
for first place, though it would take a melt-
down of cosmic proportions against Oceana
and El Camino — with three wins between
them — to not claim the crown outright.

Vonn will call it
quits after worlds
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Lindsey Vonn has only two races remain-
ing on her aching knees.
The women’s all-time leader in World Cup
wins announced Friday that she will retire
from ski racing after this month’s world
championships in Sweden.
The 34-year-old Vonn had been planning
to retire in December but changed her plans
because of persistent pain in both of her
knees, which she fully
realized after failing to
finish a race in Cortina
d’Ampezzo, Italy, last
month
“It’s been an emotion-
al 2 weeks making the
hardest decision of my
life, but I have accepted
that I cannot continue
Lindsey Vonn ski racing,” Vonn wrote
on Instagram . “I will
compete at the World Championships in
Downhill and SG (super-G) next week in
Are, Sweden and they will be the final races
of my career.”
The worlds open with the women’s super-
G on Tuesday in the Swedish resort of Are.
The women’s downhill is scheduled for Feb.
10.
Vonn’s right knee is permanently dam-
aged from previous crashes. The American
has also torn ACLs, suffered fractures near
her left knee, broken her ankle, sliced her
right thumb, had a concussion and more.
She’s limited now to about three runs per
day, and her aching body can’t handle the
workload of other skiers.
“My body is broken beyond repair and it
isn’t letting me have the final season I
dreamed of, ” Vonn said. “My body is
screaming at me to STOP and it’s time for
me to listen.”
However, with 82 World Cup wins, Vonn
will not be able to match the overall record
of 86 held by Swedish great Ingemar
Stenmark.
“Honestly, retiring isn’t what upsets me.
Retiring without reaching my goal is what
will stay with me forever,” Vonn said.
“However, I can look back at 82 World Cup
wins, 20 World Cup titles, 3 Olympic
medals, 7 World Championship medals and
say that I have accomplished something
that no other woman in HISTORY has ever
done, and that is something that I will be
proud of FOREVER!”
In her announcement, Vonn also made
public for the first time that she had surgery
following last season.

Lima looks to build off solid national team debut
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JOSE — Nick Lima made the most of
his opportunity when he was given the chance
to make his U.S. national team debut in a new
system under new coach Gregg Berhalter.
He fared well in a role that asks him to play
a combination of right back and as a defensive
midfielder and looks to build on that Saturday
when the Americans complete their start-of-
year camp with a game against Costa Rica at
Avaya Stadium.
“The first dream when I was a little kid was
playing for the national team and then in the
World Cup,” Lima said this week. “That was
the biggest one I set for myself. Everything
else is a day-to-day focus, following each goal
you set every day. ... Being here is something
you dream of and a dream I continue having.”
His debut went according to script. After
watching as a reserve a year ago when he got
his first call-up to the national team, Lima
made his first international appearance on
Sunday in a 3-0 win over Panama in Glendale,
Arizona.
Lima, a Castro Valley and Cal graduate who
spent a season with the now-defunct
Burlingame Dragons in the Premier
Development League, started at right back as

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Washington

$3.5 million. Arbitrators Mark Burstein,

ments.

who is not at this camp while playing for
Newcastle.
That position under Berhalter is different
than the one Lima plays for Major League
Soccer’s San Jose Earthquakes. Lima’s club
uses him more as a traditional fullback who
stays out wide rather than moving more to the
inside at times in a midfield role.
But Lima knows he must make the adjust-
ment if he wants to keep getting chances on
the national team.
“It was different. But I think there were
moments in the game that allowed me to be
myself and do what I was used to,” he said.
“It’s a new system. Gregg wants to play a cer-
tain style. It takes more than what we have
here, just under four weeks, to get used to it. ...
You do what you can to get on the field. To get
an opportunity like that, I’m not going to shy
away from it. I’m going to go out and give it
my best.”
Lima fared well, creating a scoring chance
early and then delivering his biggest play late
in the victory. He made a key tackle near mid-
field and then quickly attacked. He found
Walker Zimmerman with a cross for a goal in
the 80th minute and earned was picked as the

2017, helping the Astros win their first
World Series title.

2017 while being hampered by injuries. He
took on a bigger role last season, when he
started every MLS match and had a team-high
3,049 minutes.
That helped earn him the invite to
Berhalter’s first camp and a debut with the
national team.
With many of the team’s former stalwarts
playing in Europe, Lima and Baird were
among the record-tying five players who made
their debuts as starters for the U.S. national
team in the win over Panama. They joined by
Daniel Lovitz, Djordje Mihailovic and Jeremy
Ebobisse.
It was the most Americans to make their
starting debuts for the U.S. since future World
Cup players Mike Burns, Brad Friedel, Cobi
Jones, Mike Lapper and Joe-Max Moore did it
against Canada in 1992.
Seeing the newcomers perform well early is
exciting to Berhalter, who was hired in
December with the task of revitalizing a pro-
gram still recovering from missing last year’s
World Cup.
“It’s exciting to imagine where this group

clinch,” South City head coach Paul Carion
said. “But it was one of the poorer games
we’ve played all year. We were just really
sloppy on everything. … We came out
strong and we just couldn’t find that
rhythm.”
Sloppy on offense? For sure. South City
shot just 30.5 percent from the field, includ-
ing just one 3-pointer on a first-quarter splash
by senior Jezelle Madrid. On defense, howev-
er, the Warriors set a wildly raucous tone with
their full-court press. Terra Nova turned the
ball over 11 times in the opening quarter and
made just one field goal, that coming with less
than a minute to go in the period.
Terra Nova totaled 32 turnovers through-
out, while South City committed 21, includ-
ing five in the first quarter. Play, especially in
the opening quarter, often resembled a rugby
match more than a basketball game, due
mostly to loose ball scrums.
“That was one of our worst quarters,”
South City point guard Alex Salise said. “…
Defense-wise was great. Just, our offense,
we were just turning over the ball. And we
couldn’t get open shots; we were just forc-
ing our shots. We just needed to calm down
more and help our other teammates.”
Salise set the tone of defense by meeting
Terra Nova’s first two possessions with a pair
of steals. South City opened on a 13-1 run,
led 15-3 at the end of the first quarter, and did-
n’t allow Terra Nova to make its second field
goal of the night until there was less than 30
seconds to go in the first half.

M-A was OK in the first quarter, as the
Bears outscored Carlmont (8-2, 18-4) 17-8
on 6 of 13 shooting from the field.
But the Bears’ early lead was aided by a
plethora of Carlmont turnovers — eight —
in the first eight minutes as the Scots
attempted only nine shots, making three.
“We were charged up (for this game), but
we’re a little worn down by all the battles,”
said Carlmont head coach Ron Ozorio.
“There’s no room for error. Every game (the
last three weeks) has been a playoff game.”
Things got better for Carlmont in the sec-
ond quarter as the Scots took much better

had,” Carion said. “… You can beat her three
times and she’s still going to recover. And it
just wears them down.”
While Terra Nova (9-2, 13-10) was scuffling
simply to produce shots, taking just five in
the first quarter. The Tigers are generally a
sharpshooting squad from 3-point range, but
didn’t attempt a 3 through the entire first half.
“I think you want to muddy it up a little
bit,” Terra Nova head coach Kawann
Summerville said. “Right now, I think girls’
basketball and men’s basketball, everybody
lives and dies by the 3s. I tried not to do that.
I tried to be the aggressor, meaning we need
to attack the basket. Now, we shoot a lot of
3s. And tonight I didn’t want to do that.”
When Terra Nova senior Lisa Luhrs opened
the second half with a 3 to cut the deficit to
24-13, it looked as though the Tigers might
unleash a comeback. And they did — sort of.
South City guard Gabby Natividad scored five
minutes, they didn’t allow M-A to pull away
as the Scots trailed just 26-19 at the break.
“I don’t think we shot the ball well at all,”
Molieri said.
Ozorio, despite his team’s first-half strug-
gles, believed the Scots still had a shot.
“We held our composure (over the first
two quarters),” Ozorio said. “We felt good at
halftime. We felt we were still in the game.”
In the third quarter, M-A put it all togeth-
er. Not only did the Bears hold Carlmont to
single-digit scoring, allowing a game-low
seven points, but the Bears also got into a
rhythm offensively.
A Heath Hooper layup off an assist from
Anderson opened the second-half scoring
for the Bears and Will Beasley followed with
a turnaround jumper on the baseline to put
M-A up 30-19. The teams then exchanged
baskets before M-A all but put the Scots
away. A baseline jumper and the ensuing
and-1 from Skyler Thomas ignited a 9-0 run,
turning a 32-23 M-A lead into a 41-23
advantage with 2:36 left in the third.

of her 11 total points in the third quarter to keep
Terra Nova honest. Each team scored 13 points
in the period, but the Tigers came roaring back
in the fourth. Three South City players earned
four fouls, including senior center Becca Tasi,
who totaled a game-high 12 points.
Then Terra Nova sophomore Sierra
Kolomatangi heated up in the closing min-
utes, sinking back-to-back 3s as the Tigers
closed on an 11-0 run.
“I don’t understand it,” Summerville said.
“I turned them off. Not to say I detoured
them not to shoot it. Just try to be more
aggressive to the basket. And then toward
the end I’m seeing them hitting 3s, I’m like
— wow. If I had another minute or so.”
There was a scary moment with 6:27 remain-

head injury. Salise was driving to the basket

At that point, it was all about grinding
those last eight minutes off the clock.
Tripaldi scored a game-high 13 points to
lead M-A, which also got eight points from
Beasley and six from Anderson.
“Everybody chips in, ” Molieri said.
“We’re not about one player.”
Carlmont was led by Lajuan Nelson, who

didn’t mean to knock her down.”
Hin was helped from the floor by the
trainer and Salise, who ran over to serve as
physical support to walk Hin the length of
the floor to the Terra Nova bench.
“She hit it on the floor,” Summerville
said. “She banged it. So we’ll evaluate again
on Monday.”
Hin kept an ice pack on the back of her
head and did not play for the remainder of
the night. After the game, she was walking
around, lucid, and maintaining regular con-
versations with teammates and friends.
With the upcoming PAL tournament start-
ing Monday, Feb. 11 at Sequoia, South City
has clinched one of the two bids from the
PAL North Division.
“The PAL playoffs could be tough, ”
Carion said. “It’s looking like Sequoia,
Aragon or Mills all there (from the PAL
South Division), it’s going to be tough. …
I think they’ve had a more competitive
schedule, so I think they will be more game
ready. But it comes down to who plays the
best and if we play like we played tonight,
we will not be in the championship game.”
Terra Nova has one regular-season game
remaining with third-place Half Moon Bay,
a game the Tigers need win to secure the PAL
tournament bid. If HMB wins next Friday’s
rivalry showdown, the two teams would fin-
ish in a tie for second place, and the PAL

Wade embody the best of the NBA:
remarkable skill, drive and profes-
sionalism as well as a deep devo-
tion to strengthening their com-
munities and growing the game

a global celebration of basketball,
our All-Star Game is an ideal set-
ting to salute these first-class
NBA champions and Finals
MVPs.”
The Cougars could be in line for a
promotion back to the PAL Ocean
Division next year, though. Despite
having a senior-laden roster, Sonny
Day said the HMB junior-varsity
team is quite deep, and he projects
three incoming freshmen to start with
the varsity team.
HMB continues to employ a 4-3-3
lineup, a dramatic shift from years
past. It makes for a faster offense, and
the personnel has really responded
this year, Sonny Day said.
“Our set plays now are lethal,” he
said. “We’re putting in goals on our
set plays now, which is the biggest
difference.”

McVay is half his age and in his first NFL title
game, the youngest Super Bowl head man.
Rams President Kevin Demoff hears all of
that so-called evidence, then cites so many
positives about McVay that he sounds like the
next dominant coach.
Sunday will be a powerful acid test for
McVay and his team.
Some other things to look for in Super
Bowl 53:
GRONK’S FINALE?
There’s widespread speculation that Patriots
star tight end Rob Gronkowski could be play-
ing his final NFL game. The four-time All-Pro
has been plagued by
injuries for much of his
career, and only in his first
two pro seasons did he
play a full 16-game sched-
ule. In 2018, he made it
into 13 games.
Gronkowski has battled
through back, knee, ankle
and arm injuries through-
Rob out his nine pro seasons,
Gronkowski and thought about retire-
ment after last year’s
Super Bowl loss to the Eagles. If this will be it
for the big-play tight end with superb block-
ing skills, he isn’t letting on.
“As of right now, those are the last things
I’m thinking about,” Gronkowski says. “I
love playing the game. After a long season,
after the (Super Bowl), a few weeks down the
road, you sit back, you relax, you get some
downtime, enjoyment time. And you just see
where you want to go with it.

some answers over there, baby. But like I said,
I don’t know. I haven’t done that sit-down yet.
I’ve got to do that sit-down. About two weeks
after (the Super Bowl), then I’ll know.”
DONALD’S DOMINANCE
Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald, the
only unanimous All-Pro this season, led the
NFL with 20 1/2 sacks.
Considering that Brady
barely has been touched or
pressured in two playoff
games — both against
teams with strong pass
rushers — it is incumbent
upon Donald to be a factor
Sunday.
Make that a major fac-
tor.
Aaron Donald “We’ll get to him, but
we have to stay patient
and don’t get frustrated,” Donald says. “We’ve
got a great secondary that will do its job and
make sure he doesn’t have easy throws. If he
has to hold onto the ball, we’ll have our
chances. We just have to go get him.”
Otherwise, the most accomplished quarter-
back in Super Bowl history might tear them
apart.
CLOSE ONES
The Rams’ past two trips to the big game
were tight affairs in which they beat
Tennessee and lost to New England. In all of
the Patriots’ eight previous trips in the Brady-
Belichick era, the result was in doubt until the
final moments.
So to expect a romp at Mercedes-Benz
Stadium seems foolhardy.
“It would be nice to get one of those,”
Patriots receiver Chris Hogan. “But the idea is
to win, no matter how you do it.”
The largest margin in a Patriots Super Bowl
under this regime has been the eight points
the Eagles beat them by a year ago.

‘Arctic’ a solid survival tale
By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The premise for “Arctic” is so
simple it’s almost silly to describe:
Stranded man tries to survive. It’s
also been done more than a few
times in movies, so it’s under-
standable if hearing that invokes a
yawn. And yet with barely any dia-
logue, traditional storytelling
methods or even a cute pet or inan-
imate object to help, director Joe
Penna and star Mads Mikkelsen
have made a riveting and precisely
plotted film worthy of other greats
in the genre.
Instead of Mars or a desert
island, Mikkelsen’s character,
Overgard, has had the misfortune
of crash-landing his plane in the
arctic. We don’t see the crash, and
we don’t know how long he’s been
there when we first meet him fuss-
ing with snow and rocks with pur-
pose. But a wide-shot reveals what
he’s working on: A massive SOS.
Ok, you think, he’s been here for a
bit already. And he has a methodi-
cal, if uncomfortable-looking, lit-
tle system in place to occupy his
chilly days.
He’s dug out holes in the ice for
fishing, stores the freshly caught
fish in a cooler and takes one of the
older ones for his meal, carving
out little slices of frozen sashimi to
eat with a knife. His days are most-
ly spent exploring, making notes
on a little map and searching for
signals with a device that’s never
really explained. When the sun
starts to fade it’s time to retire to
the wrecked plane, where he
removes his gloves and socks
(what toes and fingers are left have
been ravaged by frostbite) and gets
ready for sleep, zipping himself up
in a sleeping bag cocoon. A beep-
ing alarm on his watch wakes him
in the morning. The alarm is a life-

‘Velvet Buzzsaw’ a gloriously gory art-world satire
By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The art installation, so often a play-
ground in the contemporary art museum, is
in Dan Gilroy’s gloriously gory satire
“Velvet Buzzsaw” a terror chamber.
Interactivity is involuntary.
“Velvet Buzzsaw,” which opens on the Art
Basel Miami Beach fair, assembles a glitter-
ing gallery of art-world snobs, strivers and
divas. A cocktail of critics, collectors, buy-
ers and even a couple actual artists, it’s the
kind of easy-target collection that
Christopher Guest might have taken aim at.
But Gilroy, who memorably skewered “if
it bleeds, it leads” TV news in
“Nightcrawler,” has something darker, or at
least bloodier in mind. In “Velvet Buzzsaw,”
when a painting fetches a “killing” at auc-
tion, the payoff might be literal, and any
subsequent shredding is going to be a lot

Time travel, hilarity in
‘Communicating Doors’
By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
A woman trying to hide in what she
believes to be a storage closet suddenly
finds herself back in the same room 20 years
earlier.
That’s one of the many surprises in Alan
Ayckbourn’s “Communicating Doors,” pre-
sented by Center Repertory Company.
The woman, Phoebe, who goes by Poopay
(Sharon Rietkerk), has been summoned to a
London hotel suite occupied by the wealthy
Reece (Charles Shaw Robinson) in 2023. A
leather-clad dominatrix, she calls herself a
specialist sexual consultant.
The doddering, dying Reece doesn’t want
her professional services. Instead he wants
her to sign as a witness to his handwritten
confession of his misdeeds over the years.
Among them are that he was responsible
for his two wives’ deaths at the hands of the
villainous Julian (Robert Sicular), his busi-
ness partner and friend.
Threatened by Julian, she hides in the
closet, and the time travels begin. When she
emerges 20 years earlier in 2003, she meets
Ruella (Julie Eccles), Reece’s second wife.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Although naturally skeptical, Ruella
begins to see validity in Phoebe’s warning
that her life is in danger.
They decide they must go back yet anoth-
er 20 years to warn Reece’s first wife,
Jessica (Brittany Danielle), who’s honey-
mooning with him in the same suite in
1983.
Hilarity and intrigue ensue as the three
scheme to alter their situations.
Compounding the humor is the hotel’s
well-meaning but none too bright security
man, Harold (Mark Anderson Phillips).
Artistic director Michael Butler guides his
multi-talented cast through this combina-
tion of mystery, sci-fi and farce. Each actor
has impeccable comic timing.
Perhaps this production is a time warp for
Butler, too. He played Harold to his wife-to-
be Timothy Near’s Ruella at the now defunct
San Jose Repertory Theatre in 1999.
Running about two and a half hours with
one intermission, “Communicating Doors”
will continue through Feb. 23 at the Lesher

Walnut Creek.

Remembrance for Music at Kohl Mansion
By David Bratman
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Sunday, Jan. 27, was Yom ha-Shoah,
Holocaust Remembrance Day, an appropriate
occasion for the Music at Kohl Mansion
series in Burlingame to host the Music of
Remembrance Ensemble.
This chamber group from Seattle has
remembered the Holocaust through music for
20 years, playing works by or relating to
Jews and others targeted by the Nazi regime.
All the musicians who played on Sunday are
also members of the Seattle Symphony. They
gave gutsy and determined performances of
high technical accomplishment.
All six of the works played at Sunday’s
concert are by Jewish composers. Four of
these composers had their lives snuffed out in
Nazi concentration camps, and a fifth was a
refugee who fled the Nazis. Two of the four
works by interred composers were actually
written while their authors were inmates at
the camp at Terezin in what is now the Czech
Republic. This transport camp to the exter-
mination centers was disguised by the Nazis
as a model settlement, and musical activities
were encouraged. What’s amazing is how
much good music came out of these condi-
tions.
Gideon Klein’s String Trio is the kind of
work listeners might expect from a composer
who probably suspected his days were num-
bered. It’s energetic without being high-spir-
ited, with the seeds of Czech folk dance hid-
ing deeply behind its spiky modernism in the
mode of Janácek or Bartók. The central
movement, a set of slow variations on a
WEEKEND JOURNAL
Music at Kohl Mansion series in Burlingame is hosting the Music of Remembrance Ensemble.
Moravian folk song, is somber and lyrical,
alternating with brief but brisker variation.
The other work from Terezin, a “Dance” by
Hans Krása, is also for string trio and is writ-
ten in a similar musical language.
Considering the circumstances of its compo-
sition, it’s almost disturbing how good-
humored a work this is, raw and jumpy in its
rhythmic energy though it also is. There are
hints of the rhythms of popular music in this
lively and active short work.
Two other composers who died in the
Holocaust are represented by pre-war works.

Erwin Schulhoff was Czech, like Klein and

the husband-and-wife team of Artur Girsky
and Natasha Bazhanov, he was a remarkable
composer with a great gift for pastiche. The
pseudo-medieval canonic harmonies in his
opening Intrada, the 18th-century counter-
point variations in his Romance, and his
openly cheeky and jaunty concluding Rumba
were all utterly charming.
Miecyslaw Weinberg, the same age as
Kattenburg, was a Polish Jew who escaped
the Nazis, fleeing to the Soviet Union, where
he became in turn nearly a victim of Stalinist
terror until rescued at the risky behest of his
mentor, Dmitri Shostakovich. He went on to
a long career as a distinguished composer, but
his Aria for string quartet, offered here, is an
early work from his wartime exile period.
Predating his work with Shostakovich, it has
no influence from that composer. It’s soft and
gently romantic.
The concert concluded with music to
accompany the 1920 German expressionist
silent film on Jewish legend, “The Golem.”
Written in klezmer style in 1996 by the post-
war Israeli composer Betty Olivero, it fea-
tures much virtuoso wailing from Laura
DeLuca’s clarinet, accompanied by string
quartet.
In keeping with this concert’s theme of
music as remembrance and healing, next sea-
son at Music at Kohl Mansion will feature the
Violins of Hope, a collection of instruments
preserved from their use by prisoners in Nazi
concentration camps. They will play in a new
song cycle by Jake Heggie on the theme of
liberation at Kohl, and will also be heard in
concerts featuring a variety of ethnic music.

them all before they’re to be tossed in
the garbage. When she shows them to
Vandewalt, with whom she’s sleeping,
he immediately pronounces the paint-
ings “visionary.”
The whole transactional system
goes into overdrive to posthumously
turn Dease into a major artist and, more
importantly, into an industry. The mil-
lion-dollar sales are orchestrated, the
Los Angeles museum show strong-
armed, the paintings carefully parceled
to stimulate just the right amount of
demand. Vandewalt gets book rights.
The paintings themselves we take
for the genuine article. Unlike the friv-
olous installations that flitter through
“Velvet Buzzsaw” (like a metallic
sphere that emits various sensations
when you stick your hand into its
holes), Dease’s works, deemed “out-
sider art,” represent something “sub-
stantial” in a shallow contemporary
art world. Only Josephine knows that
Dease, whose murky past is slowly
revealed, had wished his artwork

ing the day, possibly to remind him to
move on to the next task, or maybe as
insurance to remind him to wake up
should he drift off in an unprotected
spot. Sure, it’s slightly monotonous,
but he does seem to have a goal he’s
working toward and he isn’t even close
to giving up.
Then one day he sees a helicopter
and the people inside seem to see him.
I won’t spoil what comes next com-

learn his reds were painted in blood),
figures in the paintings begin to sub-

In vivid slasher vignettes, everyone
who has cynically capitalized on
Dease’s art works gets their comeup-
pance, many of them at a gallery late at
night. “All art is dangerous,” says
Haze before quite realizing how right
she is.
Are there certain ironies that this
satire of the commodification of art

THE GREAT MOTHERS OF
S ONG: MICHAEL FEINS TEIN
RETURNS TO FEINSTEIN’S AT
THE NIKKO WITH “IT MIGHT AS
WELL B E S PRING. ” Two-time
Emmy and five-time Grammy Award-
nominee Michael Feinstein returns to
Feinstein’s at the Nikko May 9-12
(just in time for Mother’s Day) with It
“Might as Well Be Spring,” an all-new
show celebrating the great mothers of
song. Feinstein lends his signature
polish and style to songs by
story and adds an interesting element
to Overgard’s journey. But it’s the kind
of film that might make you want to
sign up for a wilderness survival class
as soon as you walk out.
It’s pretty amazing just how com-
pelling this is for being so simple, but
it allows the viewer to really get
wrapped up in the minutiae of it all:
The performance, the landscape, the
minor triumphs and major setbacks.
When he discovers a tiny little lighter
to heat a burner that allows him to
actually eat cooked fish for the first
time in forever, you can’t help but
smile with satisfaction along with
him. You’ll get a pit in your stomach
when something doesn’t pan out and
you’ll inspired by his motivation in

one that’s penned by a filmmaker with
credits including “Kong: Skull Island”
and “Real Steel”?
Sure, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a
lot of fun. Gilroy’s set-piece slaugh-
ters are expertly executed old-school
camp, some of them laugh-out-loud
funny. Maybe not since “Peeping
Tom” have scenes of art and murder
been so closely synthesized. That
film, of course, had much more on its
mind and posed more disquieting ques-
tions for its audience. “Velvet
Buzzsaw” doesn’t lead anywhere
inward; it becomes just a litany of
(exquisite) death scenes for art-world
caricatures.
Still, what caricatures they are.
Especially good is Gyllenhaal’s
Vandewalt, a paragon of pretention
whose pompous demeanor steadily
crumbles. “Listen to my intelligent
mind,” he tells Josephina, reaching
perhaps the very mountaintop of
mansplaining. He’s a masterpiece.
“Velvet Buzzsaw,” a Netflix release,
is rated R by the Motion Picture
Association of America for violence,
language, some sexuality/nudity and
brief drug use. Running time: 113 min-
utes. Three stars out of four.
Rosemary Clooney, Peggy Lee, Judy
Garland, Lena Horne, Margaret
Whiting, Helen Reddy and more. May
9 at 8 p.m.; May 10 at 8 p.m.; May 11
at 5 p. m. and 8 p. m. A special
Mother’s Day performance will take
place on May 12 at 5 p.m. Tickets at

the face of everything. Mikkelsen is
an empathetic presence, no matter how
many villains he has to play. Penna,
who has a background in shorts and
music videos, is a strong visual story-
teller and it’ll be interesting to see
what he does next.
Just don’t confuse “Arctic” with
“Polar,” the other early 2019 Mads
Mikkelsen movie. But you’ll probably
figure it out pretty quickly if you do —
there are no assassins or Vanessa
Hudgens-es in “Arctic.”
“Arctic,” a Bleecker Street release, is
rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture
Association of America for “for lan-
guage and some bloody images. ”
Running time: 98 minutes. Three and a
half stars out of four.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF

Case Number: 19PRO00033
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of John Gorman, aka John
M. Gorman, John Marvin Gorman. A Pe-
tition for Probate has been filed by
Christopher J. Tobin in the Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo.
The Petition for Probate requests that
Christopher J. Tobin be appointed as
personal representative to administer the
estate of the decedent.

and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
able for examination in the file kept by
the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant au-
thority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: FEB. 13, 2019 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA

If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under sectioin
9052 of the California Probate Code.Oth-
er California statutes and legal authority
may affect your rights as a creditor. You
may want to consult with an attorney
knowledgable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code

Colson said ideally the project will
lead to reconstruction of City Hall
with an addition of housing units that
could be reserved for teachers, first
responders and other workers strug-
gling to afford the cost of living in
Burlingame.
“We are going to have to think care-
fully about how to look at that and we
will be welcoming public input on the
ideas,” she said.
The proposal to rebuild City Hall and
add housing at the downtown site is the
resurrection of a vision launched years
ago, but ultimately put aside when it
failed to gain traction.
Colson said officials instead priori-
tized rebuilding downtown public
parking lots into an affordable hous-
ing development and garage and recon-
structing the Recreation Center.
But with progress established on the
other projects, Colson said officials
are again turning their attention to
rebuilding City Hall which has been
identified as seismically unsound and
unable to accommodate existing
demands.
She said officials are focused on
rebuilding the civic center at its exist-
TODD

Hillbarn has done so thanks to a top-
notch cast.
It’s led by Keith Pinto as the haunted
Sweeney. He’s aided by his comic foil,
Heather Orth as Mrs. Lovett. She’s his
former landlady and the maker of “The
Worst Pies in London.”
She gives him the razors he had left
behind so that he can ply his trade as a
barber in the room above her pie shop.
Because the foppish, fraudulent
Pirelli (Jesse Cortez) has recognized
him from his past and wants to black-
mail him, Sweeney slits his throat.
Mrs. Lovett resourcefully decides what
to do with the body when she notes
that it’s hard to get meat.
This leads to one of the funniest,
cleverest songs in the show, “A Little
Priest,” sung by Sweeney and Mrs.
Lovett as they gleefully ponder the
possibilities that various professions

ing site, as residents appreciate its
open space, placement downtown and
proximity to the library.
She added housing could work well at
the site, as it is located near many
other similar residential develop-
ments. Furthermore, Colson suggested
the site could be rebuilt into a structure
with multiple stories accommodating
work space as well as housing with a
separate entrance.
She noted though conversations are
still in their formative stages, and
officials will continue to examine the
possibilities over the coming year.
“We’re just going to start to explore
if it is even feasible and would some-
one be interested in partnering with
us,” she said.
Looking beyond the civic center
project, Colson said officials will also
continue considering ways to accom-
modate the residential growth along
Rollins Road.
The need for the work is invited by a
revision to the general plan, which
loosened development regulations in
the area to include housing. But with
the influx of residents, officials need
to begin planning the conversion to a
new neighborhood, said Colson.
Officials also agreed over the need to
protect against sea level rise, especial-
ly as business interest drives econom-
ic development along the Bayshore,
where large construction projects are
planned or underway.
provide her pies.
Two other major characters are
Anthony Hope (Jaron Vesely), the
sailor who befriended Sweeney on the
voyage to London; and Johanna
(Jennifer Mitchell), the now adult
daughter of Sweeney and his wife.
They have some of the most beauti-
ful songs, such as “Green Finch and
Linnet Bird,” sung by Mitchell in a
flawless coloratura; and “Johanna,”
sung by Anthony.
Completing the stellar cast of princi-
pals are Ross Briscoe as the sweet,
naïve Toby, who becomes Mrs. Lovett’s
assistant; Juliet Green as the crazed
Beggar Woman; Samuel Nachison as the
officious Beadle; and Chris Vettel as the
villainous Judge Turpin.
The ensemble is outstanding in both
singing and acting.
By the end of the show, not many
characters have survived, but the audi-
ence has been treated to a musical the-
ater masterwork.
The show is skillfully directed by
Joshua Marx. However, because of
Hillbarn’s small stage, he relies too
Colson said city officials will col-
laborate with their colleagues in
neighboring cities, the county and San
Francisco International Airport to
assure waters do not encroach and
threaten the area east of Highway 101.
Burlingame officials are also com-
mitted to improving safety along El
Camino Real while also accommodat-
ing bikers and pedestrians through
fixes to sidewalks and bike paths, said
Colson. Such work must also respect
the landmark eucalyptus grove which
exists along the thoroughfare managed
by Caltrans, which has contributed
nearly $100 million to the project,
said Colson.
Tracking down such a similar, siz-
able investment from partner agencies
will be a key initiative for Burlingame
officials when examining a grade sepa-
ration project from the Caltrain tracks,
she said. A key area of concern is along
Broadway, where dangerous conditions
exist when cars coming off the inter-
change meet the tracks.
A top interest for all officials exam-
ining the priority infrastructure proj-
ects will be identifying potential fund-
ing sources which could help bring
many of the bold initiatives to
fruition, said Colson.
“We want a 20-year plan of how to
finance all of these so there is no sur-
prise for future councils and there is a
road map to get this done in a system-
atic way,” she said.
much on the aisles for some scenes.
Musical director Rick Reynolds
directs the fine orchestra, but it some-
times overpowers the singers.
One aspect of the show that differs
from most other productions here-
abouts is that it’s set in 1785. The
Broadway production was set in the
mid-19th century.
According to artistic director Dan
Demers, the original story, a serialized
penny dreadful in the mid-19th centu-
ry, was set in the late 18th century.
Hence the costumes by Yichuan
Sharon Peng are inspired by that time
period. They’re especially elaborate
for Pirelli and The Beadle.
Although this is a first-rate produc-
tion, Demers wisely stresses in his
program notes that it’s not recom-
mended for youngsters under 16.
Running just under three hours with
one intermission, “Sweeney Todd”
will continue through Feb. 10 at
Hillbarn Theatre, 1285 E. Hillsdale
Blvd., Foster City. For tickets and

Struggle for Venezuela
is returning to streets
By Scott Smith
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CARACAS, Venezuela — Momentum is growing for
Venezuela’s opposition movement led by lawmaker Juan
Guaido, who has called supporters back
into the streets for nationwide protests
Saturday, escalating pressure on embat-
tled President Nicolas Maduro to step
down.
A defiant Maduro’s socialist govern-
ment has called on its own loyalists to
flood the streets waving flags to cele-
brate the 20th anniversary of the
Bolivarian revolution launched by the
Nicolas Maduro late Hugo Chavez.
The dueling demonstrations will play out amid a politi-
cal standoff in its second week of heightened tensions —
and with the potential to spark violent clashes between
the opposition and security forces.
Guaido has turned down offers from the presidents of
Mexico and Uruguay to negotiate with Maduro. In a letter
Guaido urged both presidents to back Venezuela’s struggle,
saying to remain neutral aligns them with Maduro.
“At this historical moment that our country is going
through, to be neutral is to be on the side of the regime
that has condemned hundreds of thousands of human
beings to misery, hunger and exile — including death,” he
said.
Guaido declared himself interim president last week
before tens of thousands of cheering supporters and vowed
to end Maduro’s “dictatorship.” His claim to the presiden-
cy is backed by the United States and some two dozen other
nations.
The opposition seeks to usher in a transition by holding
democratic elections, Guaido said in the letter to Uruguayan
President Tabare Vazquez and Mexico’s President Andres
Manuel Lopez Obrador.
