UNCERTAIN PRESIDENCY, OPPOSITION LEADER RELEASED

Balancing the rights of smokers
with those affected by secondhand
smoke is the challenge for the
Foster City Council as it seeks
changes to its current policy of ask-
ing people not to light up in city
parks to the possibility of a more
stringent ordi-
nance of not
allowing it in
public or in
homes that
share walls.
The City
Council will
hold a study ses-
sion Monday to
discuss the
potential bene-
ts of updating
its 18-year-old
ordinance and is
asking the pub-
lic to provide
input. The coun-
cil will be pre-
sented with
research about
smoking and a
range of options that include ban-
ning smoking in parks, multi-fami-
ly residential complexes, classify-
ing electronic cigarettes as tobacco
products and eliminating smoking
in outdoor areas that could cause
one restaurant to close its doors.
The driving factor behind this
ordinance is to protect those who
dont want to be exposed to second-
hand smoke, said Assistant City
Manager Steve Toler.
The council is going to have to
make some decisions in terms of
limiting the harmful effects of sec-
ondhand smoke. If people were
making the decision to smoke
themselves they have the right to
do that. But the impact it can have
on others is something were very

Representing students needs
and advocating to secure their own
education is part of the idea of the
San Mateo Adult Schools 11-
year-old English as a Second
Language student councils, espe-
cially with potential changes to
the states adult school program-
ming.
There are two student councils at
the school, one for evening class
students and one for morning
class students. On Jan. 29, Marco
Estrella, president of the morning
council, and former morning
council president Hitomi
Kawagishi attended a legislative
oversight hearing in Sacramento
on adult education. The two, and
other ESL students, asked for a
more information so legislators
can make good laws.
I really want to participate in
the process, said Kawagishi, who
moved from Japan a few years ago
so her husband could work at
Amazon.com. We wanted to give
our ideas on how to make adult
education better.
The state has created regional
consortia made up of community
colleges and school districts to
determine the future of adult educa-
tion. The school is currently under
the San Mateo Union High School

SOCHI, Russia Flushed with
pride after its athletes spectacular
showing at the costliest Olympics
ever, Russia celebrated Sunday
night with a visually stunning
nale that handed off a smooth but

Bach said Russia delivered on
promises of excellent venues,
outstanding accommodation for

Finns give reindeer
fluorescent antler makeovers
HELSINKI Rudolph the reindeer
is having a glittering antler
makeover - the latest attempt to halt
some of the thousands of road deaths
of the roaming caribou in the wilds
of Finland.
Anne Ollila of the Finnish
Reindeer Herders Association says
the antlers of 20 reindeer have been
painted with various fluorescent
dyes to see how the animals react
and whether the paints are resistant
to the harsh Arctic climate.
If successful, animals with glitter-
ing antlers will be free to roam
Lapland - a vast, deserted area in
northern Finland where herders tend
to some 200,000 reindeer.
Ollila says reflectors and reflec-
tive tape have proven unsuccessful
as reindeer have torn them off - and
road signs warning drivers of roam-
ing reindeer often are stolen by
tourists as souvenirs.
New York City mayors pizza
fork gets $2,500 in charity
sale
NEW YORK The results of an
auction just might put a fork in the
mini-flap over New York Mayor
Bill de Blasios decision to use cut-
lery to eat pizza at a Staten Island
restaurant.
A charity auction website shows
the fork that he used sold for $2,500
to an anonymous bidder. The item
fetched six bids in an online auction
that ended Friday.
Proceeds will benefit the Stephen
Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
The group helps first responders and
wounded soldiers.
Foundation Chairman Frank Siller
tells the Daily News that the win-
ning bidder gave the fork back to
Goodfellas Pizzeria.

Bag of pot found in pants
donated to Pennsylvania
charity
SUGARCREEK, Pa. An act of
charity may end badly for one donor
to a Pennsylvania Salvation Army
outlet.
Sugarcreek Borough police say
they were called when workers found
a large plastic bag of marijuana
among some donated clothes.
Police Chief Matt Carlson tells
the (Oil City) Derrick he suspects
the owner of the drugs has noticed
them missing by now, i f onl y
because the bag contained a sub-
stantial quantity of pot.
Police were working with store
employees to determine who donat-
ed the clothes and when. Police say
the drugs were found earlier this
week.
The chief says this isnt the first
time officers have investigated an
unusual item among donated cloth-
ing saying, weve had guns ... cash
... rings, and now marijuana.
Car found 40 years later,
but not the owner yet
DETROIT Police in Tennessee
cannot find the man whose
Volkswagen Beetle was recently dis-
covered in Detroit, 40 years after it
was stolen.
The 1965 car was found in January
before it could be shipped to Canada
and then to Finland.
Knoxvi l l e, Tenn. , pol i ce
spokesman Darrell DeBusk says a
man named Joseph McDonald
reported it stolen in 1974. He says a
phone number left by McDonald no
longer works.
DeBusk says McDonald may have
been a college student in Knoxville
at the time. The car now is white but
was red in 1974.
Federal border agents in Detroit
who checked the paperwork discov-
ered that the 1965 Beetle was report-
ed stolen. The last owner, a
Michigan resident, didnt know that
history. The vehicle was being sent
overseas to be restored.

eing overly successful is not always
a good thing. It can bring problems
that can ruin you in the most unlike-
ly ways. When Columbus led his ships west to
open up another trade route to the wealth that
would come from Asia, he probably didnt
consider that many, many boats would be
needed to fulll Spains dream of riches.
He didnt take into consideration that many
other nations wanted the same thing
wealth without working for it. The oceans
seemed endless in the 1400s and would need a
lot of exploration completed before all of the
risks would be known to carry the spices,
silk, gold, silver, etc. back to Europe. But
never mind these risks, when wealth is
sought, all reason is thrown out the door.
Vasco Nunez de Balboa saw the Pacic
Ocean in 1513. In 1519, Magellan sailed
down the East Coast of South America and
entered the Pacic Ocean Nov. 28, 1520. Two
months later, after catching the western trade
winds, he landed in the Philippines. He was
killed there by the natives. One of his ships
returned to Europe by sailing across the
Indian Ocean. The other ship tried to reach
Mexico by sailing east but was forced back to
the East Indies.
In 1532, Francisco Pizarro conquered Peru.
Extensive silver deposits were found in the
Andes and became the source of great wealth
for the Spanish (The Chinese used silver for
their economy therefore a market was avail-
able to the Spanish if they could get there
across the Pacic. The Arabs
controlled the trade to China at this time).
In 1565, Andres de Urdaneta found a favor-
able wind after sailing to the north of Japan
and succeeded in crossing the Pacic Ocean.

San Carlos 32-year-old Adult
Community Center might get a
very grown-up renovation to
redesign the bustling facility to
better accommodate the wide
range of programs and services
available to the citys older popu-
lation.
Its way over overdue. It gets
constant use, every piece of furni-
ture is worn and tired and the cafe-
teria is not so functional, said
Parks and Recreation Director
Christine Boland.
Boland said there are 203 items
just for that facility identied for
improvement in the master plan
such as counter heights, door-
knobs, lighting, the outdated
restrooms and ramps for compli-
ance with the Americans with
Disabilities Act.
If the city was flush with
money, it might start from scratch
with a new multi-story building
with a bigger footprint but
Boland said the $5 million or so
ballparked to go that route just
isnt an option. Instead, the city
is looking at a detailed renova-
tion of the 601 Chestnut St.
building using $1.587 million
appropriate in the fiscal year
2012-2014 capital improvement
plan. On Monday night, Boland
will ask the City Council to
approve a contract no more than
$234,500 with Ross Drulis
Cusenbery Architecture for the
design and construction docu-
ments. If the bids are acceptable
and all the rest goes smoothly,
Boland said construction could
start as early as September.
Aside from the prohibitive cost
of a new building, Boland said the
existing center is at its heart still
workable.
Its like an old house. The
bones are still good and its still a
great facility, she said.
Boland said the ADApiece is an
undertaking in itself so it may be
addressed in the budget later as a
separate item. She and the work-
ing group tackling the project are
also looking at the possibility of
donations or fundraising per-
haps efforts by the Parks
Foundation or the Friends of Adult
Community Center to offset
the city costs.
The community centers space
includes a lounge area, library,
computer lab, commercial kitchen
and other rooms for projects and
classes. Tai chi might be in one
room, poker in another and lunch
in the other. Every inch is taken
and continues into the night with
Jazzercize and yoga, Boland said.
The makeover wish list includes
upgrading the lighting, heating
and ventilation, making the
existing space more functional,
upgrading the carpet and furnish-
ing and creating more storage
space. A teaching kitchen for
classes and culinary events is also
a possibility.
Updating the center will make it
more attractive to users which has
the added effect of bolstering rev-
enue from class and program fees.
These older buildings only
have so much life in them and, for
example, people dont want to
continue to go to classes when
the restrooms are broken down,
Boland said.
Although the renovation is still
in the future, Boland said plans
are already in the works for a tem-
porary home above the library.

SACRAMENTO Drought and water
issues will play a prominent role in this
years legislative session as most of
California is dealing with the consequences
of one of the driest periods on record.
Since the Legislature reconvened in
January, 1,929 bills were introduced in
advance of Fridays deadline.
The legislation reflects a sense of
urgency among lawmakers after three dry
winters have forced farmers to fallow fields
and some communities to declare mandato-
ry water reductions. At least 17 communi-
ties have dangerously low drinking water
supplies.
The most ambitious drought bill is being
pushed by Gov. Jerry Brown and the
Democratic leaders of the Assembly and
Senate. It proposes $687 million to pro-
vide immediate help to launch local water
recycling and conservation projects while
providing housing and food assistance for
the driest communities.
Other bills are more narrowly focused,
with some trying to spare homeowners
from fees or punishment for unwatered
lawns.
AB2104 by Lorena Gonzalez, D-San
Diego, and SB992 by Jim Nielsen, R-
Gerber, prevent homeowner associations
from penalizing homeowners for having
brown lawns. AB1636 by Cheryl Brown,
D-San Bernardino, prevents cities and
counties from doing the same.
To address Californias long-term water
needs with major infrastructure projects,
lawmakers from both parties also agree
they need to revamp an $11.1 billion water
bond measure that already is on the
November ballot.
That is likely to be the water-related
issue that generates the most debate this
year in the Legislature, given the amount
of money at stake.
There appears to be general agreement
among lawmakers of both parties that the
size of the bond needs to be reduced and the
special interest projects it included so it
would win passage in the Legislature in
2009 should be stripped. Republicans and
Democrats in both houses have proposed
five different options, ranging from $5.8
billion to $9.2 billion.
Republicans emphasize eliminating the
earmarks and prioritizing money for reser-
voirs and dams.
If we dont store it, we dont have any,
said Assembly Minority Leader Connie
Conway, R-Tulare, after a news conference
announcing a bill that would authorize the
sale of nearly $8 billion in bonds. I dont
fear the competition from other water
bonds as long as eventually we focus on
one, the one that makes the most sense,
the one that has language that everyone
can live with.
Democrats focus on partnering with out-
side groups to restore watersheds and
ecosystems, as well as making more use of
the water already available.
The era of the very, very large dams is
fading quickly, said Sen. Lois Wolk, D-

She says her focus is on a more realistic

that people are willing to pay for because
ultimately these bonds are not free.
Legislative leaders expect a negotiated bill

eral reform bills.

SAN FRANCISCO Meteorologists
forecast a pair of storms could dump sever-
al inches of rain on parched cities and crop-
lands throughout California in the coming
week, bringing welcome news to a state
that has just endured its driest year in
recorded history.
While the rain wont be enough to end
the drought, the National Weather Service
projected Sunday that the much-needed pre-
cipitation could nearly double the amount
of rainfall in parts of Los Angeles and the
San Francisco Bay Area this year.
By next Saturday, the twin Pacific storms
are expected to bring as much as 2 inches
of rain to the coast and several feet of snow
to the Sierra Nevada.
The first storm on Wednesday wont offer
much relief, just light overnight rains
heading into Thursday. By Friday, radar
images show the second storm should
drench the entire state for 24 hours.
Were not calling it a drought-buster,
but it definitely will make a difference,
said Jim Bagnall, a meteorologist with the
National Weather Service in Hanford, one
of many San Joaquin Valley towns where
farmers have fallowed crops in anticipa-
tion of record low water supplies. Wi t h
these few storms, we could see about an
inch total in the valley. So this could obvi-
ously have some significant impact.
The wet weather is badly needed: Since
July 1, only 5.85 inches of rain have fall-
en in San Francisco, or about 35 percent of
normal for this time of year. Just 1.2 inch-
es have fallen in downtown Los Angeles,
compared to 10.45 inches in a normal year.
The heavy rains will likely lead to flash
flooding and runoff, carrying mud, trees
and debris in areas burned in recent fires,
such as the Colby fire, near Glendora.
People who live around the burn areas
need to be aware that Friday and Saturday
could be potentially dangerous days, said
Andrew Rorke, senior meteorologist with
the National Weather Service in Oxnard.
At higher elevations, the storms could
blanket the Sierra in several feet of snow
reaching down as low as about 4,500 feet,
Bagnall said.
Looking further into the future, meteo-
rologists say computer models show
another sign of hope: greater chances that
this year could see El Nino conditions and
accompanying rainfall.
The San Jose Mercury News reports
researchers at the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration said in
November there was a 36 percent chance of
El Nino conditions developing by August
2014. NOAA recently updated that proba-
bility to 49 percent.
Theres been an uptick recently. More
models favor El Niqo, said Jon
Gottschalck, acting chief of operational
prediction at NOAAs Climate Prediction
Center in College Park, Md. We certainly
dont want to promise anything, but condi-
tions are looking better.
Much-needed rain, snow to hit
Redding woman arrested
after hash oil lab explodes
REDDING Police have taken a Redding
woman into custody after getting reports
that she and her three children were at a
motel when a hash oil lab exploded, leaving
a man covered in burns.
When the lab blew up Friday night, police
say 27-year-old Amanda Hepler and her boys
aged 2 months, 1 year and 2 years old, were
in the room.
Authorities say Hepler was arrested
Saturday on an outstanding felony burglary
warrant, and the children were placed into
protective custody.
The Redding Record Searchlight reports
28-year-old Daniel James Ogram of Redding
was own to a burn center for treatment.
Police are still looking for a second
woman also reported to be in the room.
Hash oil is an illegal marijuana byproduct
that is extracted with butane from discarded
parts of the plant.
High-speed rail
given funding extension
LOS ANGELES Federal transporta-
tion officials have extended the deadline
that the California High-Speed Rail
Authority has to start spending more
state money on the project.
As a condition of federal grants, the proj-
ect must put up state money to match the
federal dollars.
The Los Angeles Times reported that with
the deadline changed from April 1 to July 1,
the Legislature could move on Gov. Jerry
Browns request to transfer $250 million to
the bullet train from the states ambitious
plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The three-month extension is part of a
new state-funding contribution plan.
California High-Speed Rail Authority
chief Jeff Morales wrote in a Feb. 20 letter
to the Federal Railroad Administration that,
among other things, delays in the start of
construction and acquisition of property in
the Central Valley made the new funding
plan necessary.
Construction is not likely to start before
this summer, putting the project more than a
year behind the schedule that rail ofcials
described in 2012.
The train, with a current price tag estimat-
ed at $68 billion, would connect Southern
California to the San Francisco Bay area.
Voters approved it with a 2008 ballot meas-
ure, and Brown has been a staunch supporter.
But the project has been beset in recent
years by opposition and apparently dimin-
ishing political support within California.

WASHINGTON President Barack
Obamas national security adviser said
Sunday it would be a grave mistake for
Russia to intervene militarily in Ukraine.
Susan Rice said on NBCs Meet the
Press that in Obamas phone conversa-
tion with Russian President Vladimir
Putin on Friday the two agreed that a
political settlement in Kiev, t he
Ukrainian capital, should ensure the
unity of the country and the right of
Ukrainians to express their free will. She
was asked whether the White House fears
Putin will send Russian troops into
Ukraine.
That would be a grave mistake, she
said. Its not in the interest of Ukraine
or of Russia or of Europe or the United
States to see the country split.
Protesters took to the streets of Kiev
late last year after President Vi kt or
Yanukovych abandoned an agreement
that would have strengthened his coun-
trys ties with the European Union in
favor of seeking closer cooperation with
Moscow.
Rice said that in the weeks ahead,
Washington will cooperate with Europe
and international organizations to help
the Ukrainian economy, which she
described as fragile.
Speaking on a separate Sunday show,
Republican Sen. John McCain, a frequent
critic of Obamas foreign policy, echoed
some of the same themes as Rice on seek-
ing to help Ukraine.
He said the United States needs to be
clear with Putin that Ukrainians must be
allowed to determine their own future and
that partitioning the nation would be
unacceptable.

HUNTINGTON STATION, N.Y. (AP) A
55-year-old restaurant manager died and
more than two dozen others were taken to
hospitals Saturday after being overcome by
carbon monoxide at a restaurant at New York
mall, police said.
Suffolk County police identied the man
who died as Steven Nelson, a manager at the
Legal Sea Foods restaurant at the Walt
Whitman Shops in Huntington Station on
Long Island. The restaurant is located in a
detached building that is part of the mall,
which remained open.
Police said 27 others affected by carbon
monoxide were taken to area hospitals.
WABC-TV reported that all but a handful of
patients had been treated and released.
Four ambulance personnel and three of-
cers were among those overcome by carbon
monoxide at the complex, which is about
35 miles east of New York City, police said.
They responded to a call shortly after 6 p.m.
Police Lt. Jack Fitzpatrick said the initial
call was about a woman who had fallen in
the basement of the Legal Sea Foods outlet.
He said that when rescue workers arrived at
the scene they started to feel lightheaded
and nauseated and suspected a carbon
monoxide leak.
The woman who fell was taken to
Huntington Hospital, as was Nelson, who
was pronounced dead there. There was no
immediate word on the womans condition.
Fitzpatrick said all of those affected by the
fumes were restaurant employees, police or
ambulance workers. He said the leak appeared
to originate with the heating system.
Right now, we are inspecting the heating
system, and this incident seems to be con-
ned to the basement area. It does not appear
to have made it in the area of the restaurant
where the customers were, he said.
Carbon monoxide is odorless and color-
less and can lead to death by suffocation.
The Legal Sea Foods restaurant, a Panera
and a Cheesecake Factory outlet were evacu-
ated as a precaution.
They told us to leave because of a gas
leak, Cheesecake Factory patron Kathy
Sella said. I didnt want to blow up or any-
thing like that. We were at the bar having a
glass of wine and then one of the waitresses
she said you have to leave.

WASHINGTON The explosive politics of
health care have divided the nation, but
Americas governors, Republicans and
Democrats alike, suggest that President Barack
Obamas health care overhaul is here to stay.
While governors from Connecticut to
Louisiana sparred on Sunday over how best
to improve the nations economy, gover-
nors of both parties shared a far more prag-
matic outlook on the controversial program
known as Obamacare as millions of their
constituents begin to be covered.
Were just trying to make the best of a
bad situation, Republican Gov. Terry
Branstad, of Iowa, who calls the health care
law unaffordable and unsustainable, yet
something he has to implement by law.
Were trying to make it work as best we can
for the people of Iowa.
As governors gathered in Washington
this weekend, Democratic governors such as
Marylands Martin OMalley and
Connecticuts Dannel Malloy made pitches
to raise the minimum wage, while
Republican governors such as Louisianas
Bobby Jindal and Indianas Mike Pence
called for more freedom from federal regula-
tions, particularly those related to the
health insurance overhaul. But governors
from both parties report that a full repeal of
the law would be complicated at best, if not
impossible, as states move forward with
implementation and begin covering mil-
lions of people both by expanding
Medicaid rolls for lower-income resident or
through state or federal exchanges that offer
federal subsidies to those who qualify.
Republican opposition to the law is the
centerpiece of the GOPs political strategy
ahead of the midterm elections. And to be
sure, not every GOP leader embraced the
inevitability of the laws implementation.
I dont think that its so deeply
entrenched that it cant be repealed,
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said. But I do
think, as we argue for repeal, we have to
show folks what you replace it with.
Despite a troubled rollout, nearly 3.3 mil-
lion people have signed up through Feb. 1
for health care coverage under the law. The
White House reported that 1 million people
signed up nationwide for private insurance
under the law in January alone. It remains
unclear that the administration will reach its
unofcial goal of 7 million people by the
end of March, but it still expects several
million enrollees by then.

KIEV, Ukraine With an ally
claiming presidential powers
Sunday and the whereabouts and
legitimacy of the nominal presi-
dent unclear, newly freed opposi-
tion icon Yulia Tymoshenko may
feel her chance to take Ukraines
leadership has come. But even
among protesters who detest
President Viktor Yanukovych,
Tymoshenko sparks misgivings.
The former prime minister, who
was convicted of abuse of ofce in
a case widely seen as political
revenge by her arch-foe
Yanukovych, is a polarizing gure
in a country staggering from polit-
ical tensions that exploded into
violence. Admired and even adored
by many for her air and ery rhet-
oric, Tymoshenko is regarded by
others as driven by intense ego and
tainted with corruption.
Just a day after she left the hospi-
tal where she was imprisoned,
demonstrators outside the Cabinet
of Ministers expressed dismay that
she could be Ukraines next presi-
dent. One of them held a placard
depicting Tymoshenko taking
power from Yanukovych and read-
ing, People didnt die for this.
Ukraine is in a delicate state of
uncertainty since Yanukovych and
protest leaders signed an agree-
ment to end the conict that left
more than 80 people dead last week
in Kiev. Soon after signing it,
Yanukovychs whereabouts are
unclear after he left the capital for
his support base in eastern
Ukraine. Allies are deserting him.
Russias next moves in the crisis
were not immediately clear, but
Washington warned Moscow not to
intervene militarily.
The newly emboldened parlia-
ment, now dominated by the oppo-
sition, struggled to work out who is
in charge of the country and its ail-
ing economy. Fears percolated that
some regions might try to break
away and seek support from neigh-
boring Russia, particularly the
Crimean peninsula where Russias
Black Sea naval eet is based.
Ukraine is deeply divided
between eastern regions that are
largely pro-Russian and western
areas that widely detest
Yanukovych and long for closer
ties with the European Union.
Yanukovych set off a wave of
protests by shelving an agreement
with the EU in November, and the
movement quickly expanded its
grievances to corruption, human
rights abuses and calls for
Yanukovychs resignation.

ISLAMABAD Afghanistans
Taliban said Sunday they had sus-
pended mediation with the
United States to exchange captive
Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl for ve senior
Taliban prisoners held at
Guantanamo Bay, halting at
least temporarily what was con-
sidered the best chance yet of
securing the 27-year-old soldiers
freedom since his capture in 2009.
In a terse Pashto language state-
ment emailed to The Associated
Press, Taliban spokesman
Zabihullah Mujahid blamed the
current complex political situation
in the country for the suspension.
A U.S. ofcial with knowledge
of the talks said
the cause of the
suspension was
not the result of
any issue
between the
United States
and Taliban. He
declined to
elaborate and
spoke on con-
dition of
anonymity because he was not
authorized to speak to journalists.
Bergdahl, of Hailey, Idaho, was
last seen in a video released in
December, footage seen as proof
of life demanded by the U.S.
Bergdahl is believed to be held in
the border regions between
Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Mujahid said the indirect talks
with the U.S. had been mediated
by Qatar, where the Taliban estab-
lished a political ofce last June.
The video of Bergdahl was part of
the negotiations which were to
lead to the eventual transfer of the
five Taliban leaders held since
2002 in Guantanamo Bay.
The leadership of the Islamic
Emirate has decided to suspend the
process for some time due to the
current complex political situation
in the country, the statement read.
The process will remain suspended
without the exchange of the prison-
ers until our decision to resume.
Mujahed did not elaborate on
what political situation in
Afghanistan led to the suspension
of talks or say when they might
resume. Afghanistan is in the mid-
dle of a presidential campaign
ahead of an April 5 election. Two-
term President Hamid Karzai can-
not run again for ofce under the
Afghan constitution.
The U.S. State Department has
refused to acknowledge the nego-
tiations, but the U.S. ofcial pre-
viously told the AP that indirect
talks were underway.
In response to the Taliban state-
ment Sunday, U.S. Embassy
spokesman in Afghanistan Robert
Hilton said: Sgt. Bergdahl has
been gone far too long, however
we cant discuss the efforts were
taking to obtain his return.
Col. Tim Marsano, spokesman
for the Idaho National Guard, said
he spoke Sunday with Bergdahls
family and said they declined to
comment further.
The family has no more
words, Marsano said.
Efforts at a swap are also seen as
a concession to Karzai.
Washington would like to see him
back away from his refusal to sign
a security pact that is necessary
for the U.S. to leave a residual
force behind in Afghanistan.
Karzai says he wants Washington
to push reconciliation between
the Afghan government and the
Taliban forward, without offering
specics.
The ve Taliban detainees at the
heart of the proposal are the most
senior Afghans still held at the
prison at the U.S. base in Cuba.
Each has been held since 2002.

the 2008 Summer Games transformed a
decaying resort town on the Black Sea into
a household name. All-new facilities,
unthinkable in the Soviet era of drab shod-
diness, showcased how far Russia has come
in the two decades since it turned its back on
communism. But the Olympic show didnt
win over critics of Russias backsliding on
democracy and human rights under Putin and
its institutionalized intolerance of gays.
Despite the bumps along the way, Bach
was unrelentingly upbeat about his first
games as IOC president and the nation that
hosted it. One of Sochis big successes was
security. Feared attacks by Islamic militants
who threatened to target the games didnt
materialize.
Its amazing what has happened here,
Bach said a few hours before the ceremony.
He recalled that Sochi was an old, Stalinist-
style sanatorium city when he visited for
the IOC in the 1990s.
Dmitry Chernyshenko, head of the Sochi
organizing committee, called the games a
moment to cherish and pass on to the next
generations.
This, he said, is the new face of Russia
our Russia.
His nation celebrated its rich gifts to the
worlds of music and literature in the ceremo-
ny, which started at 20:14 local time a
nod to the year that Putin seized upon to
remake Russias image with the Olympics
power to wow and concentrate global atten-
tion and massive resources.
Performers in smart tails and puffy white
wigs performed a ballet of grand pianos,
pushing 62 of them around the stadium oor
while soloist Denis Matsuev played thunder-
ous bars from Sergei Rachmaninoffs
Concerto No.2.
There was, of course, also ballet, with
dancers from the Bolshoi and the Mariinsky,
among the worlds oldest ballet companies.
The faces of Russian authors through the
ages were projected onto enormous screens,
and a pile of books transformed into a
swirling tornado of loose pages.
There was pomp and there was kitsch. The
games polar bear mascot standing tall as
a tree shed a fake tear as he blew out a caul-
dron of ames, extinguishing the Olympic
torch that burned outside the stadium. Day
and night, the ame had become a favorite
backdrop for Sochi seles, a buzzword
born at these games for the fad of athletes
and spectators taking DIY souvenir photos
of themselves.
Now we can see our country is very friend-
l y, said Boris Kozikov of St. Petersburg,
Russia. This is very important for other
countries around the world to see.
And in a charming touch, Sochi organizers
poked fun at themselves. In the center of the
stadium, dancers in shimmering silver cos-
tumes formed themselves into four rings and
a clump. That was a wink to a globally
noticed technical glitch in the Feb. 7 open-
ing ceremony, when one of the ve Olympic
rings in a wintry opening scene failed to
open. The rings were supposed to join
together and erupt in reworks.
This time, it worked: As Putin watched
from the stands, the dancers in the clump
waited a few seconds and then formed a ring
of their own, making ve, drawing laughs
from the crowd.
Raucous spectators chanted Ro-ssi-ya!
Ro-ssi-ya! Russia! Russia! They got
their own Olympic keepsakes medals of
plastic with embedded lights that ashed in
unison, creating pulsating waves of color
across the stadium.
Athletes said goodbye to rivals-turned-
friends from far off places, savoring their
achievements or lamenting what might have
been and, for some, looking ahead to
2018. The city where they will compete,
Pyeongchang, offered in its segment of the
show a teaser of what to expect in four years
with video of venues, Korean music and
delightful dancers in glowing bird suits.

CULIACAN, Mexico For 13 years
Joaquin El Chapo Guzman watched from
western Mexicos rugged mountains as
authorities captured or killed the leaders of
every group challenging his Sinaloa cartels
spot at the top of global drug trafcking.
Unscathed and his legend growing, the
stocky son of a peasant farmer grabbed a
slot on the Forbes billionaires list and a
folkloric status as the capo who grew too
powerful to catch. Then, late last year,
authorities started closing on the inner cir-
cle of the worlds most-wanted drug lord.
The son of one of his two top henchmen,
Ismael Mayo Zambada, was arrested at a
border crossing in Nogales, Arizona in
November as part of a sprawling, complex
investigation involving as many as 100
wiretaps, according to his lawyer.
Amonth later, one of the Sinaloa cartels
main lieutenants was gunned down by
Mexican helicopter gunships in a resort
town a few hours drive to the east. Less than
two weeks later, police at Schipol Airport in
Amsterdam arrested one of the cartels top
assassins, a man who handled transport and
logistics for Guzman.
This month the noose started tightening.
Federal forces began sweeping through
Culiacan, capital of the Pacic coast state of
Sinaloa closing streets, raiding houses,
seizing automatic weapons, drugs and
money, and arresting a series of men
Mexican officials carefully described to
reporters as top ofcials for Zambada.
But the target was bigger. By Saturday,
they had nabbed Guzman, 56, in the resort
city of Mazatlan, where he ed after report-
edly escaping the law enforcement ring set
up in Culiacan.
My sense in talking with Homeland
Security ofcials and others last night is
that we were able to penetrate his circle, get
people within the organization to cooper-
ate, U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, chairman
of the House Committee on Homeland
Security. Its not just the most signicant
capture and the arrest of one man, but it
bodes well for our efforts to dismantle and
unravel the Sinaloa Cartel.
McCaul called on Sunday for Guzman to be
extradited to U.S. to ensure he remains
behind bars, noting that the drug lord
escaped from prison in 2001 and corruption
continues to plague Mexico.
But the Mexican operation that netted
Guzman was praised across the board in the
U.S. as a sign of President Enrique Pena
Nietos commitment to battling organized
crime.

Misconceptions of debt
Editor,
Letter writer Christopher Conway
(Are we all addicted? in the Feb. 19
edition of the Daily Journal) suc-
cumbs to a common misconception
about our national debt, to wit, that
it will someday come due, impos-
ing a crushing burden on our children
and/or grandchildren. There is no
reason on Gods green earth why we
should ever pay it off. We never
have, and so long as we keep
Chicken Little away from the levers
of fiscal policy, we likely never
will. We are continuously rolling it
overrefinancing it, if you will.
Who knows? We might still be carry-
ing some Revolutionary War debt.
Our national debt is represented by
U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds.
When these securities mature, the
Treasury sells new ones and pays the
holders of the old ones. This process
runs smoothly, and we pay interest
rates near zero because global finan-
cial markets (the folks who buy our
debt securities) are happy with the
way were managing our debt. Our
national debt is about equal to our
annual gross domestic product
(GDP). Japans is twice their GDP,
yet they pay interest rates as low as
ours. Global financial markets arent
so concerned about the amount of our
national debt. They are concerned
about our willingness to pay (or
more precisely, our willingness to
continue rolling it over).
The oft-argued debt ceiling is a
post-World War Two anachronism
best scrapped. (But thats another
subject, entirely. ) Refusing to raise
it is declaring to the world our inten-
tion to welch on our debt. Bad idea.

Evidence supports scriptures
Editor,
Aletter from Mr. Peterson of
Redwood City (Response to Matt
Grocott in the Feb. 20 edition of
the Daily Journal) began with these
words: Matt Grocott fails to make
any scientific sense in his response
to Jorg Aadahl (letter to the editor
Response to disturbing ignorance
in the Feb. 5 edition of the Daily
Journal). He chooses instead to deny
climate change by asserting that a
global flood occurred because 500
cultures have legends about a great
flood.
Mr. Petersons statement is patent-
ly false; I did no such thing. What I
did do is write a letter in defense of
the Bible and those who believe in
it. Mr. Aadahl had made the assertion
that global warming deniers often
are the most devoted believers in
stories made up ... that dont have a
shred of evidence. He then refer-
enced the Old Testement and its
account of the Great Flood. My letter
focused on the fact that the scriptures
are not made up and that evidence
does exist which supports what is
written in them, including evidence
of a worldwide flood. If Mr. Peterson
chooses to believe otherwise, he is
free to do so, but he is not free to fal-
sify my statements.

Flood theory
Editor,
Although I do not believe that the
earth is only 6,000 years old
there is ample evidence to disprove
that beyond doubt I wouldnt dis-
miss the claims of a historical great
flood that provides the basis of the
Noahs Ark story.
World-renowned marine archeolo-
gist Robert Ballard (the leader of the
Titantic exploration), who is hardly
a science denier, says evidence does
exist for a great flood in ancient
times in the Black Sea region in
approximately 5,000 BC. He has
found some compelling evidence for
his theory which I would invite
skeptics or the curious to investigate
further.

The Daily News, Bowling Green, Ky.
A
s the Republican-controlled
U.S. House passed several
bills that would have repealed
the Affordable Care Act, liberal critics
belittled these efforts by contending
that Obamacare was settled law
since it had been upheld by the U.S.
Supreme Court.
But how can we say it is settled
law when our presidents actions
seem to reect his belief that some of
the laws very specic provisions are
what he wants them to be as opposed
to their clear meaning?
The most recent case in point was
the administrations recent decision
to delay until 2016 the requirement
that employers with 50 to 99 full-
time workers either provide health
insurance or pay a nancial penalty.
This represents the second time this
particular requirement has been
delayed for a year. In July 2013, the
administration delayed this employer
mandate until 2015.
Congressional approval is clearly
needed to change a very unambiguous
provision that the mandate is effec-
tive after Dec. 31, 2013.
President Barack Obamas stated
rationale for the extension was to
ensure that mid-sized companies had
sufcient time to comply with the
law.
His explanation raises two interest-
ing questions.
How long do you really need to
comply with a law that was enacted in
2010?
Is it fair for the president to be in
the business of picking winners and
losers? One group of employers has
received a two-year delay while every-
one subject to the individual mandate
got no such reprieve.
Obamas decision to ignore the
clear intent of a law that denes his
presidency seems more attuned to
political calculation than about pro-
viding additional time for compli-
ance.
The Affordable Care Act is expected
to be front and center among issues in
the 2014 midterm elections, but this
does not justify doing an end run
around the Constitution.
At one point in his life, our presi-
dent taught constitutional law. He
surely knows better.
Arbitrary decisions on who wins
and who loses under the Affordable
Care Act extend well beyond the
administrations announcement. The
record reects far too many waivers
and exemptions to the politically
well connected.
So much for equality under the law.
By the same token, so much for our
country being a nation of laws rather
than one where those laws can be
effectively rewritten at one mans
pleasure.
This is what you would expect in a
banana republic, but not in a constitu-
tional republic with co-equal branches
of government.
All hail El Presidente.

ext year, the Montessori program in the San
Mateo-Foster City Elementary School District will
celebrate its 40th anniversary. It was the very rst
public school Montessori program in the country when it
opened in 1975.
In 1973, my daughter attended a Montessori nursery
school in San Mateo where Bonnie Mathison was a teacher.
We became friends. She later taught in the district while I
was elected to the school board. We had a novel idea to
start a Montessori program in a public school. The superin-
tendent was supportive but it barely passed the board on a
3-2 vote. Parents were eager, but nancial times were
tough. It was post Proposition 13. We required that teachers
be trained in the Montessori method, which none of the
existing staff, other than Mathison, were. Somehow, we
hired Judy Bauerlein and she started the program one
class at Meadow Heights.
Because of popular demand, the program expanded to two
classes. Meanwhile, Mathison
and Daisy Monte took over as
administrators of Lawrence
Elementary which served North
Central San Mateo children. It
became a Montessori show-
case. Then, in 1977, a program
was started at Parkside which
attracted children from both
Foster City and the neighbor-
hood. Phyllis Harrison, who
had Montessori training, was
hired for the Parkside position.
Harrison, now the principal at
Montessori North Shoreview,
said she was attracted to the job because it was a way to
bring the Montessori program to students who would never
have the opportunity to have it.
***
Today, the future of the Parkside Montessori program is
in doubt. Ameeting of parents from both the Parkside and
North Shoreview Montessori programs and their staff is
scheduled for tonight to discuss future options. The district
has decided to turn Parkside into a single STEAM magnet
(science, technology, engineering, art and math) according
to last weeks Daily Journal. Parkside is not at full capacity
but the district hopes the new STEAM program will attract
students from overcrowded Foster City schools (My guess
it wont. Foster City parents want their own school in
Foster City). Also the administration and perhaps the board
feel two programs should not exist in the same school. So
what will happen to the Montessori program?
One option is to transfer students to North Shoreview.
But that school is full and has its own long wait list The
other is to create a second site. But where? With the dis-
tricts increased enrollment, there is no existing site unless
Montessori is combined with a traditional program. But
that goes against the single program mantra. Another is to
move both programs to a larger school site? Where?
***
As the program developed, parents waited in line for their
children to attend and there were waiting lists from the get-
go. The Parkside program grew from one K-1 class to
include all grades. The Meadow Heights program, also K-5,
became so popular it was moved to Horrall and then to its
current location at North Shoreview where it became an all
Montessori school in 1994. In 2008, it went K-8 . North
Shoreview has 393 students and 24 at its fee-based pre-
school. Most of the students come from the neighborhood.
There is not enough room to absorb the Montessori stu-
dents from Parkside and/or to accommodate the students on
the waiting list.
***
Its disappointing that the district is tinkering with a suc-
cessful program. Test scores have gone up in Montessori
schools. There is a good mix of neighborhood and children
from other areas of the city. Montessori methods are a good
t with the new Common Core standards. Will Parkside be a
better school without its Montessori contingent? I doubt it.
There are, however, a group of parents who dont want the
Montessori program to remain, even though a majority do.
Montessori programs at Meadow Heights and North
Shoreview had to face similar concerns when they opened.
Somehow, even though the Parkside program has existed
for 37 years, some parents want it out.
***
Since Parkside is not full, why move the Montessori pro-
gram in the near future? If the district is serious about nd-
ing a new site, the best solution is to move the Mandarin
immersion program from College Park in North Central to
the Knolls site in the Hillsdale neighborhood, once it is
retrotted, and make College Park a Montessori school.
That would be tting. Too few North Central children bene-
t from Mandarin immersion. So many could benet from
Montessori as they did in the past.

BUSINESS 10
By Ryan J. Foley
IOWACITY, Iowa The scores of losing
players in last weeks $425 million
Powerball jackpot did more than take an
extremely long shot at getting rich. Their
ticket purchases also helped fund a small but
increasingly important part of their states
budgets.
Changes in the nationwide Powerball and
Mega Millions games have led to some of
the worlds largest jackpots in the last two
years, boosting player interest and sales.
Fueled by the growth of those games and the
steady expansion of other offerings, many
state lotteries last year reported record rev-
enues and transfers to the state budgets and
programs they helped fund.
For every $2 ticket, 50 cents or more
might end up paying for police ofcers in
Massachusetts, services for the elderly in
Pennsylvania, or education in rural school
districts in Idaho, lottery directors say. In
all, about $20 billion out of the roughly
$70 billion in overall annual lottery rev-
enues is used by states after prize money,
retailer commissions, advertising and
administrative expenses are taken out.
Most states target their lottery revenue to
specic causes, with education being the
most popular.
Texas Lottery Commission executive
director Gary Grief said Powerball sales in
his state multiply several times as the jack-
pots rise, from a normal range of about $3
million per week all the way up to 10 or 15
times that amount. That means millions
more dollars for public education in Texas,
the lotterys beneciary, he said.
Thats a very small piece of a big pie, but
every dollar counts, he said. It helps alle-
viate the drain on other revenue sources for
state government.
He and other lottery directors say that
revenue from jackpot games still make up a
small fraction of overall sales instant
scratch tickets remain their bread and but-
ter.
Overall, state budget experts say lottery
revenue typically represents a single-digit
percentage of overall state budgets. That
means a momentary sales frenzy for
Powerball has little impact in the big pic-
ture, other than helping the lottery become
a dependable and incrementally growing
funding source.
In the big scheme of things, we have a
$16 billion budget in Oregon, said that
states chief financial officer, George
Naughton. The individual sales, the indi-
vidual jackpots, do have an upward tick but
its probably not going to change from a
revenue perspective the decisions that
elected ofcials are going to make down the
road.
Naughton said the lottery generates
roughly $1 billion over two years to help
fund education and other programs.
Critics say lotteries are a terrible way to
fund state services. They argue that lottery
tickets are heavily taxed since only a frac-
tion of the money goes to payouts and win-
nings are taxed again. And they say the
poor are more likely to play more often,
making it a regressive funding source.
This is going to help the states big
time. Theres no denying that, said Dawn
Nettles, a lottery critic from Texas who
runs lotteryreport.com, which tracks the
industry. But how many people are going
to max out their credit cards?
Supporters such as Grief say the lottery is
voluntary, gives everyone a chance to
dream big and avoids the need for tax
increases.
Critics admit they have mostly lost the
argument. Lawmakers across the country
over the last three decades have opened and
expanded lotteries. Forty-three states now
operate them, while organized political
opposition has largely vanished.

Apple, Samsung fail to
settle before March trial
SAN JOSE Apple Inc. and Samsung
Electronics Co. Ltd. have failed to settle
their latest patent dispute despite a daylong
meeting between top Samsung executives
and Apple CEO Tim Cook hosted by a medi-
ator earlier this month.
The companies detailed the lack of
progress in a court ling Friday. Judge Lucy
Lucy Koh of the U.S. District Court in San
Jose has been pushing the two sides to set-
tle the 2-year-old case.
Acourt ling the companies made Friday
in the 2-year-old case before Judge Lucy
Koh in the U.S. District Court in San Jose
detailed the lack of progress.
While the two sides said they remain will-
ing to work through a mediator, the lack of
a settlement points them toward a trial in
March.
The worlds top two smartphone makers
have waged legal battles over mobile
devices since Apple accused Samsung of
copying the iPhone and the iPad in 2011.
Later, Samsung claimed Apple used its tech-
nologies without permissions, expanding
battles to courts in Asia, Europe and North
America.
In November, a Silicon Valley jury tacked
on damages that a previous jury said
Samsung owes Apple for copying vital
iPhone and iPad features, bringing the total
award to $930 million.
The previous verdict covered 13 older
Samsung devices. Samsung has said it
would appeal.
The latest trial will consider Apples
claims that Samsungs newest devices, such
as its Galaxy S III, also copied Apples tech-
nology.
Netix reaches deal with Comcast
NEWYORK Netix has reached a deal
with Comcast to ensure that its TV shows
and movies are streamed smoothly to
households, the rst deal the online video
streaming service has reached with an inter-
net service provider.
The two companies said in a joint state-
ment Sunday theyre establishing a more
direct connection to provide a better service
to customers that will also allow for future
growth in Netix trafc. The companies say
the arrangement is already giving cus-
tomers a better experience.
The statement says Netix will receive no
preferential network treatment under the
multi-year deal. The terms of the deal are not
being disclosed.
Risky deals costing
University of California millions
SANTA ANA The nancially strapped
University of California system is losing
about $6 million each year due to risky bets
on interest rates.
The Orange County Register reports that
the UC system already has lost tens of mil-
lions of dollars on complex contracts
known as interest-rate swaps.
Under the contracts, future losses would
be reduced only if interest rates rise from
their historically low levels.
The universitys chief nancial ofcer,
Peter Taylor, told the newspaper he is con-
dent interest rates will eventually rise,
reversing the losses.
The losses come as administrators of the
10-campus system have sharply increased
tuition and fees in recent years, angering
many students who say they are being
priced out of a public education.
Microsoft plans
spring Windows update
BARCELONA, Spain Microsoft says it
will update its Windows system this spring
to address some of the gripes users have had
when they use devices without touch capa-
bilities.
Windows 8 and its 8.1 update were
designed for a touch environment. But some
of the gesture commands dont translate
well when using traditional mouse and key-
board controls.
Among other things, Microsoft Corp.
will add search, power and settings buttons
to the Start page, so that users dont have to
gure out how to pull those functions like a
sock drawer from the right.
There also will be ways to make it easier
to close apps.
Microsoft will also update its Windows
Phone system this spring for better corpo-
rate support and to allow for cheaper devices
aimed at emerging markets.
The announcement came Sunday ahead of
the Mobile World Congress wireless show
in Barcelona, Spain.

The Burlingame boys basketball team
had won more Peninsula Athletic League
Tournament titles since its advent in 2000
four than any other school in tourna-
ment history.
At one point, the Panthers won four
straight from 2008 to 2011.
Burlingame had come up dry the previous
two seasons, however, losing to El Camino
in the 2012 championship game and losing
in the seminals last season.
Saturday, the Panthers returned to the title
game against nemesis Mills and with a 59-
46 victory, secured its fifth tournament
title.
Its huge, said Burlingame center Nick
Loew, a four-year varsity player who won a
PALtournament title his freshman season in
2011. Weve been gone a couple of years.
Im really proud of my team.
The win caps an undefeated run through
PALplay for the Panthers 12-0 during the
regular season and 3-0 in the PAL tourna-
ment.
Standing in the way of Burlingames fth
tournament crown, however, was Mills
one of the few PAL teams to push the
Panthers this season, despite losing both
matchups during the regular season.
The Vikings pushed Burlingame once
again, employing a frustrating 2-3 zone
defense that bottled up Loew and the rest of
the Panthers frontcourt.
We knew Mills would be a tough team,
Loew said. They play a tough 2-3 zone. (To
beat it), you have to crash the boards, make
good passes and knock down open shots
when you get them.
There are two ways to beat a zone: one,
penetrate the defense off the dribble and
either nish or dish, or two, shoot over the
top of it.
Burlingame chose the latter and with a
shooter like Frankie Ferrari, it was a good
plan. Ferrari scored a game-high 28 points,
hitting ve 3-pointers in the process. He
had nine points in the first half before
exploding for 19 over the nal two quarters.
And whenever the Panthers needed a big
basket, Ferrari delivered.
He does everything right, Loew said of
Ferrari. He always seems to come up
Panthers back on top

58-40 win to take the PAL Tournament girls
title Saturday night at Capuchino.
Westmoor
completes
its mission
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A year ago, the Westmoor girls basket-
ball team went 12-0 in Peninsula Athletic
League North Division play and 2-1 in the
the PAL Tournament, losing in the champi-
onship game to Burlingame.
This year, the Rams again went undefeated
during the regular season and returned to the
PAL Tournament championship game.
This time, the Rams nished the job,
beating South City 58-40 to capture its rst
PAL Tournament since winning it all in
2004.
[Winning the PAL Tournament crown]
was one of our goals (for this season), said
Westmoor coach Mike Keough. After los-
ing last year, we got a feel for it.
The Rams were tested, however, especial-
ly their bench. Starting point guard
Yazmeen Goo, center Tiara Cobbins and
shooting guard Brianna Domagas each
picked up their fourth fouls midway through
the third quarter. Instead of giving up a dou-
ble-digit lead, the Rams reserves actually
helped build the advantage going into the
fourth quarter.
I trust (my second team) when theyre out
there, Keough said. But I didnt know how
they would come out (and play) in such a big
game.
The second unit was buoyed by the play of
the Alcantara sisters senior starter and all-
league selection Marinel and junior
Marlene, a key reserve. Those two combined
to score 11 of the Rams 14 third-quarter
points, helping turn a 26-14 halftime lead
into a 40-25 advantage going into the
fourth quarter.
When Goo went out, we tried to get more
aggressive with our press, Carion said.
And that just played into [Westmoors]
hands more. When they beat our press, they
beat it for a layup.
Marinel Alcantara scored a game-high 16
points, with Cobbins adding 13 points,
eight rebounds and three blocks. Marlene
Alcantara and Domagas each added seven

El Camino boys soccer coach Ken Anderson
has attended the Central Coast soccer seedings
meeting for the last several years, only to see
his Colts come up short in securing a playoff
berth.
He attended Saturdays seeding meeting and it
was merely a formality. By virtue of the Colts
scoreless tie with Hillsdale Friday, El Camino
clinched the Peninsula Athletic Leagues Ocean
Division title and the divisions automatic CCS
berth.
Just to see our team up there nally, nally,
it felt good, Anderson said.
It is the Colts rst CCS berth since 1986 and
the league title was their rst since 1985
back when Anderson was a player. Now, after 23
years as El Caminos coach, he leads the Colts
back to the playoffs.
(This is a culmination) of seven years of
progress, Anderson said. Now, besides have a
coach/player relationship (with the team), we
share a championship (as players). They made
some history this year.
El Camino is just one of 10 San Mateo
County boys squads to qualify for CCS: No. 11
Sequoia (8-8-2), No. 7 Menlo-Atherton (11-5-
2) and No. 8 Carlmont (8-7-4) in Division I;
No. 12 Woodside (8-7-5) and No. 3 Serra (14-2-
4) in Division II; and Bay Division champion
and No. 1 seed Half Moon Bay (14-5-1), No. 10
Sacred Heart Prep (14-5-1) and No. 3
Burlingame (13-4-3) in Division III.
Abig surprise was South City, which nished
a point behind El Camino in the Ocean Division
standings, but also earned a spot in the Division
II bracket. South City (12-5-3) received the No.
11 seed and will face two-time defending cham-
pion No. 6 Willow Glen (10-6-3) at 6 p.m.
Wednesday in San Jose.
On the girls side, six teams made the play-
offs: No. 4 Carlmont (12-5-3) in Division I; No.
4 Woodside (15-2-3), the Bay Division and
defending CCS champion, and No. 9 Terra Nova
(17-1), the Ocean Division champion in
Division II; and No. 6 Sacred Heart Prep (16-2-
2), No. 3 Burlingame (12-3-5) and top-seed
Menlo School (15-3-2) in Division III.
On top of making the playoffs, El Camino
(11-5-4), the No. 9 seed in Division II, will host
a rst-round playoff game by virtue of being a
league champion and will face No. 8 Overfelt (8-
4-8) 3 p.m. Wednesday.
Going into Fridays regular-season nale, El
Camino knew what it had to do: win or tie with
Hillsdale. Aloss would have made South City
the Ocean champ, which beat Mills 3-2 Friday.
Neither the Colts nor the Knights took many
chances in trying to pull out a win.
[Hillsdale] bunkered down (defensively),
Anderson said. [Hillsdale coach Andy Hodzic]
told us before the game they were going to play
for the tie. Our guys knew that was the least we
could do (and still win the division champi-
onship).
Andersons Colts played it close the vest, as
well, not wanting to risk giving up a goal and
having to play from behind.
I didnt want to get countered, Anderson
said. We played a safe match as well.
When the nal whistle sounded, Anderson
said there was mixed reactions from his team.
No one likes a tie, but in the Colts case, it was
innitely better than a loss.
We didnt lose. We didnt win, but were
champs, Anderson said.
Colts earn first CCS berth since 1986

KRASNAYAPOLYANA, Russia Alexander Zubkov was
given a daunting assignment for his home Olympics. His
task: Take to Russian ice and make history, against drivers
who have been beating him for years.
Do svidaniya, world!
Zubkov was uncatchable.
He drove Russia to victory in the four-man bobsled race
Sunday, adding that gold to his two-man from earlier in the
Sochi Games and making him the sixth pilot to sweep those
events at an Olympics. Until now, no one had ever achieved
that feat on home ice, but this track was built for Zubkov and
he proved to be its master.
So, history for Russia.
History for Latvia and the United States, as well.
Oskars Melbardis of Latvia drove to the silver medal,
matching his nations best showing in a Winter Olympic
event. And 2010 four-man champion Steven Holcomb of
Park City, Utah, piloted USA-1 to bronze, ceding his
Olympic title but winning his third career medal tying the
most by any U.S. bobsledder and giving his nation seven
sliding medals at the Sochi Games, tops among all countries.
Zubkov had a slim lead entering Sundays nal two runs
and predicted the title would be decided in the third heat.
Naturally, he was right.
The eld with just 0.17 seconds separating rst through
fourth places entering the day, the closest margin in Olympic
four-man history thinned out considerably in Sunday
afternoons opening run. Zubkovs lead over Melbardis
swelled to 0.17 seconds. Melbardis opened up an 0.28-sec-
ond edge over Holcomb for second place. Holcomb was 0.15
seconds better than Russias Alexander Kasjanov in the race
for bronze.
Zubkov, with push athletes Alexey Negodaylo, Dmitry
Trunenkov, Alexey Voevoda in his sled, took one look at the
standings after the leaders nished their third runs, clenched
a st and punched the air.
He knew it was over.
And a 39-year-old driver who hadnt won a single two- or
four-man race all season on the World Cup circuit was soon
declared perfect in Sochi. Zubkov wound up 0.09 seconds
faster than Melbardis, who was 0.30 seconds up on
Holcomb.
I talked to Zubkov a couple years ago and asked him the
rst day he slid, and he told me he was 6 years old, said U.S.
bobsledder Justin Olsen, a push athlete in the USA-2 sled
piloted by Nick Cunningham that nished 12th. So hes
been sliding for 33 years. Holcombs been sliding since
2001.
Holcomb got his gold at Vancouver four years ago, ending
a 62-year drought for the U.S. in that race. He also won two-
man bronze in Sochi, ending a 62-year medal drought for the
Americans in that discipline. So, of course, at these games
he became the rst American pilot to win medals in both
Olympic races in ... yep, 62 years.
Holcomb was joined in the sled by Curt Tomasevicz of
Shelby, Neb., Steve Langton of Melrose, Mass., and Chris
Fogt of Alpine, Utah. For Tomasevicz and Langton, it was
their second Olympic medals. Fogt won his rst.
And it didnt come easily, with only 0.03 seconds separat-
ing third from fourth. But when the Americans crossed the
line, a medal clinched, a big celebration began.
Ever since winning the gold in Vancouver, Holcomb has
fought the notion that hes only good on North American
tracks.
His bronze in Russia not only disproved that theory,
again, but also ensured the Germans perennially the
worlds the most powerful sliding team would be shut out
of the medals in four-man for the rst time since 1968.
Germany won ve medals in luge at the Sochi Games and
nothing else in any sliding discipline.
Bobsled gold to Russians
By Tim Dahlberg
SOCHI, Russia Without them the U.S. would have just
a few gold medals, and NBC would have trouble getting the
younger eyeballs it needs to justify the $775 million it
spent to land the Winter Olympics.
With them it sure doesnt look like Sonja Henies
Olympics anymore.
Snowboarders ying upside down high above the half-
pipe. Skicross racers crashing in tandem and sliding across
the line in a photo nish. Thrills and spills that make the
bobsled look so yesteryear.
The Winter Olympics have morphed into the Winter X
Games. Or maybe its the other way around.
Theyre no longer just stoked to be here. Extreme athletes
are changing the look of the games, and shaping them for
future generations to come.
I think the Olympics needed this energy, said Gretchen
Bleiler, a snowboarder cut her competitive chops in the X
Games before winning silver in the 2006 Olympics. The
Olympics looked at ESPNs X Games and saw the enormous
popularity and they wanted in on something that was new,
exciting and fresh.
Just six Olympics after the rst freestyle skiing medals
were awarded in 1992, athletes in Sochi will split 60 medals
across both freestyle and snowboarding events. Another 24
medals will be given out in short track speedskating which,
if not technically an X Games event, sure looks like one.
No, snowmobile aerials wont be added at the next games,
and the luge wont be combined with the biathlon in some
crazy new sport. But theres a good chance another 12
extreme athlete medals will be available with the addition of
ski and snowboard big air competitions.
When the X games came to be in the 90s it sort of gave a
little bit of a wake-up call to the Olympics and said these are
the sports kids are into these days, said Mike Douglas, a
Canadian known as The Godfather of freeskiing. I watch
all the sports during the Olympics but something like two-
man luge I shake my head and wonder why. In skicross or
boardcross theres a lot of action and its easy to see who is
going to win.
Adding extreme sports has been the mission of the IOC
since the early 1990s, when even the stodgiest Olympic
ofcials began realizing that there was a need to grow the
audience for the Winter Games. Skiing aerials came rst,
then snowboarding in the 1998 games, and more events
have been added to each in almost every Olympics since.
Medal counts have soared. There will be a total of 294
medals awarded in Sochi, compared to just 138 in the
Calgary Games of 1988.
It just gives more options for kids to be inspired and to
have that Olympic gold, said Julia Mancuso, a four-time
U.S. Olympic medalist. The kids are looking up to those
other sports that were just X Games or action sports before.
Its cool to have different avenues to do your best. Theres
nothing wrong with that.
Nothing at all, especially if you root for the red, white and
blue at the Olympics. Going into the weekend, six of the
nine gold medals won by Americans were in snowboarding
or freestyle skiing, and the sports accounted for 12 of the 27
medals overall.
In the extreme sports added for the rst time at the Sochi
games, the numbers were even better. Americans won ve
new events and got silver in another.
The new sports have kept the U.S. near the top of the
overall medal chart in an Olympics where speedskaters were
nearly shut out and gure skaters won only two medals. But
the results may prove eeting.
It will be very difcult to maintain that level of medal
production for the U.S. going forward, said Steve Roush
former chief of sport performance for the U.S. Olympic
Committee. The rest of the world is catching up.
There are some in traditional events who think the
Olympics have gone far enough. An Olympics built on the
foundation of skating, skiing and jumping, they argue,
should be enough.
You dont need more new sports, said Hans Pum, sports
director of the Austrian ski federation. We have a few new
ones, but that (should be it). Dont always bring in more and
more.
Even with the new sports, there will always be a spot for
the competitions that were the core of the rst Winter
Games in 1924. Henie, the Norwegian gure skater, gave
the games a boost by winning three gold medals in a row
beginning in 1928, and gure skating is reliably one of the
most watched events of the Olympics.
I dont think theres a risk to the other, more traditional
disciplines, said Paul Kristoc, vice president of Alpine

at Winter Olympics USA-1 takes the bronze
Russia clinches medals title
SOCHI, Russia Alexander Legkovs victory in the
mens 50-kilometer cross-country race Sunday clinched
the overall medals title for the host nation at the Sochi
Games.
Legkov led a sweep of the podium for Russia in the 50K.
Russia started the day tied with Norway for the most gold
medals with 11 and with a 29-27 lead over the United
States in total medals.
With only three events on the nal day of competition
cross-country, four-man bobsled and the mens hockey
gold medal game the Russians didnt waste any time in
sealing the deal.
Norway gured to challenge the Russians in cross-coun-
try, but Martin Johnsrud Sundby nished fourth while
Russians Maxim Vylegzhanin and Ilia Chernousov took
silver and bronze.
The three skiers had a wild celebration at the nish line.

Special
By Brian Mahoney
Jason Collins became the NBAs first
active openly gay player Sunday, signing a
10-day contract with the Brooklyn Nets.
Collins will join the Nets for their game
Sunday night in Los Angeles against the
Lakers. The 35-year-old center revealed at
the end of last season he is gay, but he was a
free agent and had remained unsigned.
With a need for another big man, the Nets
turned to the 7-foot Collins, who helped
them reach two NBA Finals in the early
2000s.
The decision to sign Jason was a basket-
ball decision, general manager Billy King
said in a statement. We needed to increase
our depth inside, and with his experience and
size, we felt he was the right choice for a 10-
day contract.
Collins has played 12 NBA seasons,
including his rst seven with the Nets, when
they were in New Jersey and Jason Kidd was
their point guard. Kidd is now the Nets
coach and Collins has
been a teammate of sever-
al other current Nets.
Jason told us that his
goal was to earn another
contract with an NBA
team. Today, I want to
commend him on achiev-
ing his goal. I know
everyone in the NBAfam-
ily is excited for him and
proud that our league fosters an inclusive and
respectful environment, Commissioner
Adam Silver said.
The Nets worked out Collins during the
All-Star break and met with him again
Sunday, with his twin brother, Jarron, hint-
ing that history would be made.
Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday.
Today should be a pretty cool day! Jarron
Collins wrote on Twitter.
The news on Collins comes as Michael
Sam, the SEC defensive player of the year
from Missouri who recently revealed he is
gay, is taking part in the NFLdraft combine.
Sams on-eld workouts in Indianapolis are
scheduled for Monday.
Jason Collins played 38 games last sea-
son with Boston and Washington and aver-
aged 1.1 points and 1.6 rebounds in limited
minutes. For his career, the 7-foot Collins
averages 3.6 points and 3.8 rebounds.
His announcement last spring was fol-
lowed by numerous NBA players insisting
he would be welcomed in the locker room.
Collins has played for ve other teams and
is well respected inside and outside the
league he attended the State of the Union
as a guest of rst lady Michelle Obama.
I just know Jason as a person and as a
player. Thats what Im happy about. He has
earned it. Hes a great guy. Its good for the
league. The important thing is to judge him
as a person and a basketball player,
Chicago coach Tom Thibodeau said.
I know people who have coached him,
and I know how highly thought of he is.
The Nets had an opening for a big man
after trading Reggie Evans along with Jason
Terry to Sacramento on Wednesday for guard
Marcus Thornton. King said Thursday that
Collins would be among the players they
would look at, insisting they wouldnt be
concerned about any extra attention the
signing of Collins would provide.
Were going to bring in a basketball
player, King said. Its not about marketing
or anything like that.
The Nets posted a photo on their Twitter
account of Kidd watching Collins sign his
contract, encouraging followers to retweet it
to welcome Collins to Brooklyn.
Collins is tied for third in Nets history
with 510 games played, and also ranks in
their top 10 in minutes played, and offen-
sive rebounds and total rebounds. Alimited
offensive player, the Nets hope he still pro-
vides a presence defensively and on the
boards.
I know Jason Collins is a competitor.
One thing I know about him is he fouls very
hard, Miamis Dwyane Wade said with a
laugh. Hes one of those tough veterans.
Im sure hes happy to be back playing in
the league. Welcome back.
Nets sign Collins, becomes first openly gay man in NBA

clutch. He has such a high basketball IQ.
In addition to Ferrari, Justin Gutang was
the other Panther to score in double digits
with 10, with eight of those coming in the
second half. Loew nished with nine points
and nine rebounds.
But it was the contributions of a pair of
Panthers off the bench that helped propel
them to victory. Guard Kevin Abuyaghi
started the game, but was subbed out about a
minute into the game, having taken a couple
of shots, but scoring no points.
He started the third quarter and quickly
knocked down a pair of 3-pointers, pushing
the Panthers 24-23 halftime lead to 30-23
less than a minute into the second half.
Sophomore forward Bassel Mufarreh also
came up with some clutch baskets. Playing
only a handful of minutes in the rst half,
Mufarrehs putback with 2:56 before half-
time broke an 18-18 tie. His second bucket
with less than a minute to play in the second
quarter put Burlingame ahead for good, 22-
21.
Mills, meanwhile, struggled with its
shooting all night. The Vikings managed
just 15 eld goals for the game and leading
scorer Robert Noland, who nished with 11
points, made only two shots from the oor,
with the rest of his points coming from the
free throw line. Marquis Adkin added eight
points for the Vikings.
Burlingame did a great job, said Mills
coach Rick Hanson. Theyre a great team.
Both teams got off to a slow start as three
minutes into the game, Mills led 2-0 on a
pair of free throws. Burlingame nally got
on the board and took a 3-2 lead on a Gutang
3, but a Tyler Wright basket put Mills back
ahead.
Loews first bucket of the night gave
Burlingame a 5-4 lead and sparked a 7-0 run
to end the quarter, with Ferrari heating up.
First, he picked Daniel Yus pocket and went
in for a layup. He followed that with a rare
four-point play. He nailed a 3-pointer and
was fouled, converting the free throw for an
11-5 lead after one quarter of play.
Mills countered with its best quarter of the
night, outscoring the Panthers 18-13 in the
second quarter. Noland scored six points dur-
ing a 9-3 Mills run to start the period and
tying the game at 14. The teams traded bas-
kets the rest of the half, but it was the
Burlingame big men Loew and Mufarreh
who gave the Panthers the lead at half-
time, 24-23, as they combined to score 10
of their teams 13 second-quarter points.
Burlingame opened the third quarter on an
8-0 run, with Abuyaghi draining his pair of
3s, turning a one-point halftime advantage
into a nine-point lead less than two minutes
into the second half. Mills responded with a
7-0 run of its own, closing to 32-30 on
Wrights three-point play.
Thats as close as the Vikings would get
the rest of the way. Ferrari scored the nal
eight points of the quarter for Burlingame,
knocking down his third and fourth 3s of the
night, as the Panthers took a ve-point
lead, 40-35, into the nal eight minutes.
From there, the Panthers pulled away. A
Corey Matsuno bucket cut Mills decit to
40-37 to start the fourth quarter, but
Burlingame came back with a 9-0 run, with
Ferrari scoring seven of those points,
including his nal 3 of the night with less
than four minutes to play that gave the
Panthers their biggest lead of the night, 49-
37.
They simply added on from there on their
way to their fth PALtournament title in the
programs history.
I dont want to say we had to play per-
fectly, but you certainly have to play better
than we did (to beat Burlingame), Hanson
said.
PANTHERS
points for the Rams.
The Rams used strong defense, strong
rebounding and scoring in spurts to beat
South City for the third time this season.
South City played well, but the Warriors had
too many scoring droughts and when they
did manage to string a few baskets together,
Westmoor always did it better.
In the rst quarter, for example, a Reichel
Vaioli basket off the dribble penetration
tied the game at 2 for South City less than a
minute into the game. The Warriors then
went more than three minutes without a
point, while the Rams scored seven unan-
swered points to take a 9-2 lead less than
three minutes into the game.
It went that way all game long.
We held them down for a little while,
said South City coach Paul Carion. But our
runs were two, four points. Their runs were
six, eight points.
It was the Westmoor defense that helped
jump-start its offense as the Rams nished
with eight blocks that allowed them to get
out on the fast break. It also helped limit the
Warriors to just 14 rst-half points.
We knew they were good, Carion said.
The thing about Westmoor is its good
offensively, but theyre a really good offen-
sive rebounding team.
Westmoor was on top of its game from the
opening tip, taking a 12-6 lead after one
quarter of play. In the second quarter, the
Rams used runs of 6-0 and 6-2 to take a 26-
14 lead at halftime.
South City played better in the second
half, scoring 26 points, but the Rams just
kept chugging along. Not even having
three-fths of their starting lineup with foul
trouble slowed them down. As well as the
Warriors played over the nal two quarters,
the Rams were even better, scoring 32
points.
South City was led by Julia Garcia, a
frosh-soph callup who nished with nine
points and four rebounds. Mira Avila
chipped in with seven and Vaioli added six.
The fact the Warriors failed to have any-
one score in double digits was one of the
biggest factors in their loss.
I thought we played well, Carion said.
We just didnt score well.

comfortable draw for Euro 2016
NICE, France Two-time defending
European champion Spain faces a seeming-
ly comfortable road to defend its title at Euro
2016 after being drawn in Group C along
with Luxembourg, Macedonia, Belarus,
Slovakia and Ukraine on Sunday.
Its not as easy a group as it might appear
to some. We are facing emerging teams who
are young and strong, Spain coach Vicente
del Bosque said of the Group C draw. The
cold conditions could play a role in the
group because many of the trips will be to
teams from the east.
The Netherlands drew a tougher-looking
Group A and faces the Czech Republic,
Turkey, Kazakhstan, Iceland and Latvia.
The Dutch are the favorites. Together
with them, it will be us, Turkey and Iceland
ghting to advance, Czech Republic goal-
keeper Petr Cech said. We have to cope
with it if we want to go to France.
There will be eight groups of six teams
and one of ve, each playing home and
away. The top two teams from the nine
groups qualify, along with the best third-
placed side. The eight remaining third-place
teams will play off for four spots.
Host France is the 24th team and automat-
ically qualified. It will play matches in
Group I, but no points will be awarded for
their matches.
Sports brief

I
m proud of and happy for my niece,
who made what she called the
biggest decision of her life and
adopted a cat from PHS/SPCAlast week.
She did everything right. First, she got
approval from her landlord. In this case,
her dorm residence! She was looking for a
therapy cat, and her college approved!
Once she cleared this hurdle, she turned her
attention to her family cat. They have
what they lovingly call a grumpy old
man cat. My niece knew her new cat
would, at times, spend time back at her
parents house with the grumpy old man
around and she didnt want to rock his
world. She asked which of our available
cats might be a good match (or, not a bad
one) with the old guy. Fortunately, we had
many candidates most were young adult
to middle-aged females. She asked what
supplies we carried at our centers retail
store to check off her list of startup items.
The answer was all, except for a tall cat
tree, which she wanted for her room. On
the big day, she showed up late in the
afternoon, but well before our closing
time, guring she might want to meet with
several cats. And, she was fully prepared
to adopt that day. Some people visit one
day thinking they will come back a week
or so later to adopt; of course, this is
risky and could lead to disappointment,
since we cant guarantee the cat you want
wont get scooped up by someone else
before you return. In the end, our coun-
selor a seasoned vet whos placed
more than 2,000 cats into new homes
recommended Fancy, a 3-year-old some-
what shy, but snuggly female. My niece
listened and is so glad she did. Shes in
love and its been just a week. She posted
many photos on her social media and gave
us a much-appreciated shoutout.

along with four other adult
schools in the area as part of a
consortium, said Assistant
Director Tim Doyle.
Kawagishi and others fear older
students could get cut from adult
education to focus more on job
and college-based programs. The
governors proposed budget does
indicate a commitment to creating
a funding mechanism for adult edu-
cation by 2015-16, and reinforces
requirements that K-12 districts
maintain the 2012-13 level of
adult education funding in 2013-
14 and 2014-15.
The councils have more than
$10,000 in their reserves, which
comes from fundraisers for differ-
ent holidays, rafes and primarily
from making and selling the
schools student IDs. There are
yearly elections for presidents,
vice presidents and secretaries.
The two councils have parallel
agendas and both have to approve
agenda items. Students can share
ideas and opinions about pro-
grams and policies; plan special
events or projects; spend money
on activities, special events and
efforts to save and rebuild adult
education and items such as a PA
system, barbecue grill, tables,
benches and a high-definition
video camera; participate in and
learn about democracy; and create
and strengthen community rela-
tionships. Meetings for the coun-
cils occur once a month and class
representatives report student
issues at the meetings.
Aside from the council, the
school has created a strong sense
of community and inclusion for
students. Kawagishi found herself
at home watching TVall day when
she rst moved to the country.
I had no friends or relatives and
was so isolated, said Kawagishi,
who lives in Burlingame. I was
so lucky; the school is so great.
Estrella, 45, moved to the
United States from Mexico 15
years ago and decided to join the
adult school 10 months ago. He
wants to get his GED diploma this
spring and is currently taking
advanced ESL classes. He worked
for many years to support his two
children, he said.
I want to be a good example for
them (his children), said
Estrella, who also works at The
Vans Restaurant in Belmont in the
evening. The most important
thing I learned here was to trust
myself and have goals for the
future.
The ESL students like advocat-
ing for the fact that adult educa-
tion is important for reasons
other than just learning English,
including meeting new friends,
learning about American culture,
becoming a citizen or nding out
a correct way to look for a job.
Students tend to wear their red
school shirts on Tuesdays to show
spirit for adult education.
ESL teacher Cynthia Eagleton
helps support the councils and
runs the ESL student blog, along
with a blog called Adult Education
Matters. She believes the coun-
cils are a way for students to feel
invested in their work.
I think it is a really amazing
opportunity to develop leadership
skills and understand how democ-
racy works not all native-born
Americans understand how democ-
racy works, she said. Theyre
taking it to the next level by
doing advocacy in Sacramento.
Theyve really been inspiring to
schools across the state.
Meanwhile, the councils advi-
sor Lisa Dolehide said the morn-
ing group has really bloomed.
Theyre really sincere in their
advocacy for it (adult education),
she said.
Three ESL students will present
a workshop on school and com-
munity leadership at the
California Council of Adult
Education Bay Section
Conference on Saturday, March 1.
At the conference, the students
will explain why their school is
so active, Kawagishi said.
The school has talked about
having GED representative on the
council, but it hasnt happened
yet, Eagleton said.
The school will meet with other
consortium members, which
include Jefferson, South San
Francisco, Sequoia and Cabrillo
adult schools, March 5 to begin
the planning process for the future
of adult education, Doyle said.

ADULT
COURTESY
Morning ESL student council president Marco Estrella, center, recently
went to Sacramento to speak in favor of adult education.
place where the client could go
that is very non-institutional,
highly supportive and they would
receive a menu of services to resta-
bilize and reconnect them, said
Steve Kaplan, director of behav-
ioral health and recovery services.
Without an alternative like a
respite center, Kaplan said fami-
lies often have their hands tied
getting their loved one into treat-
ment until he or she deteriorates to
the point that law enforcement or
an ambulance is called. That
response can end with the person
being placed on a psychiatric
hold, arrested or in extreme situa-
tions even injured or deceased. The
center will be a place of safety and
care for the client and simultane-
ously educate family members who
may need guidance navigating the
oftentimes daunting arena of men-
tal illness.
Kaplan said the Health System
has been meeting with interested
groups like family members and
NAMI, the National Alliance on
Mental Illness in San Mateo,
about how to better respond in
escalated situations and cut down
on the number of mentally ill
adults ending up in jail.
The result was a desire for a
respite center and the idea moved
closer to reality when the Board of
Supervisors began doling out
Measure A sales tax revenue last
year.
In late January, the board gave
Behavioral Health and Recovery
Services the green light to spend
up to $2 million to buy a property
and another $400,000 to renovate
it as needed.
Kaplan said similar centers in
other counties run the gamut
between clinical and more inti-
mate with some operated by peers
and others by professionals. The
county is looking for a hybrid
model that could accommodate up
to 10 adults with an average stay
of 10 days. Clients will have not
committed serious or violent
crimes or pose a danger to them-
selves or others.
The ideal spot will be residen-
tial, said Kaplan, although he con-
cedes a facility catering to the
mentally ill can often be a tough
sell to neighborhoods.
Id be naive and foolish to
think well be lucky enough to
nd a place where that wont be
happening, Kaplan said.
However, he is optimistic that,
with enough outreach and educa-
tion and a responsible provider,
the neighbors may actually con-
sider the facility a positive addi-
tion and support it through accept-
ance and even volunteering.
I think we can make this hap-
pen even if the road is rocky,
Kaplan said. Its going to be awe-
some.
The initial timeline was to have
a center open in July but that is no
longer a possibility since a site is
yet to be identied. Once it is pur-
chased, the center still has hurdles
like getting licensed by the state.
The timeline now is as soon as
possible, Kaplan said.

From then to the 1815, the Manila
Galleons crossed the Pacic carrying sil-
ver from South America and, on the
return trip, they carried spices and porce-
lain.
In 1595, Sebastian Rodriguez
Cermeno, a Portuguese captain trading
for Spain, set out across the Pacic in a
galleon named the San Pedro. He was
headed for the Philippines, a trip that
took two months. He changed ships
while in port due to the loss of his rst
ship and began sailing with a full load of
merchandise for Spain. The trip would
take six months and half of his crew
would die due to malnutrition and scurvy.
Scurvy occurred on long ship voyages
due to the lack of vitamins. It was a
painful death that left dark blotches on
the body and loosened the teeth so eat-
ing was almost impossible.
On Nov. 4, 1595, land was sighted and
res were seen on the beaches. The ship,
the San Augustin, made it into a cove
(Drakes Bay) and after some Miwok
natives visited the ship, the crew began
replenishing their stores of food and
water. Suddenly, a southern wind blew up
and the ship began to break up and sink
as she hit the rocky shore where they
were anchored. Records are lacking as to
where the ship actually sunk and the area
has been made into an archeological site
to discourage divers from looking for it
unsupervised. Luckily, the crew was able
to salvage a 30-foot-long launch that
was built to explore inlets and shores
along the coast.
After reassessing their situation, the
captain ordered the remaining 70 and
passengers to board the craft and they
began to sail the remaining 1,500 miles
to Mexico in the long boat. After two
grueling months of sailing, they made it
to Acapulco.
HISTORY
concerned about, Toler said.
Councilman Herb Perez agrees and
said although some may view parts of
the proposed amendments as a slight
against an individuals right to smoke,
the real issue is providing people with
the right to not be affected by second-
hand smoke.
For me, its a question of health and
safety. For others, its a question of per-
sonal liberty. I dont believe, and the
state concurs, theres any personal right
to smoke, Perez said.
The city currently prohibits smoking
within 25 feet of a building or entryway
and issued a no-smoking resolution in
parks and at city-sponsored events.
However, as the outdoor regulation is
just a policy, it doesnt carry as much
weight as an enforceable ordinance
would, Toler said.
Councilman Steve Okamoto worked
for the American Cancer Society and
introduced the proposed resolution dur-
ing his tenure on the Parks and
Recreation Commission.
I want to make those resolutions
have a little more authority. Because as
a resolution you can only ask for coop-
eration, Okamoto said. As an ordi-
nance, the city has a bit more authority
to control it.
Mayor Charles Bronitsky agrees if
the city owns it, people shouldnt be
able to smoke there. However, there are
certain places he worries the city could
overstep its bounds.
During the rst Sept. 9 study session
on the topic, the council requested staff
research other city regulations and
options to consider including investi-
gating the plausibility of restricting
smoking in apartment buildings,
according to a staff report.
A lot of this is going to depend on
how the public or council decides to
dene public space or outdoor spaces,
Toler said.
One amendment being considered is
to outlaw smoking in apartments,
potentially both indoors and outdoor
common spaces. Although most coun-
cilmembers agree their intent is to pro-
tect the public from unwanted exposure
to secondhand smoke, extending the
law into peoples homes is a dicey sub-
ject.
Im not in favor of that. I think its
an invasion into privacy, where the
government ought not to go,
Bronitsky said.
Okamoto said he agrees that the argu-
ment for upholding personal privacy is
signicant, but he wants to protect peo-
ple who dont have the choice to be
smoke-free in their own homes.
Im strongly in favor of personal
space and privacy. But if smoke affects
somebody who doesnt want that
smoke, then I think we have the need to
step in, Okamoto said. The bottom
line is were not trying to prevent peo-
ple from smoking, the issue is the sec-
ondhand smoke affecting the health of
our residents.
Perez agrees its a complex topic and
said he looks forward to hearing more
dialogue about it. But his priority is
being able to provide Foster City resi-
dents with the choice to not be exposed
to secondhand smoke, Perez said.
Hookah, e-cigarettes
Waterfront Pizza is a Mediterranean
restaurant and hookah lounge thats
kept in accordance with the law since it
moved to Foster City in 1989. Owner
Isam Halteh said previously its liveli-
hood relies on the ability to serve
hookah.
Although the city wants to deter
smoking in public, it doesnt want to
put this longstanding establishment out
of business, Perez said.
Most recently they spent upwards of
$700,000 to renovate and expand their
business. In part [smoking hookah] is
cultural and in part its in their business
model. So I believe they should have a
time and place and an exemption or
grandfather clause, Perez said.
If it agrees to restrictions and because
the public has a choice as to whether
they want to patronize the restaurant,
Perez said he would be ne with making
the restaurant the exception.
Councilman Art Kiesel said he doesnt
want to squeeze the restaurant out of
Foster City, but Waterfront Pizza should
start phasing hookah out of its prac-
tices.
Its one of those controversial
things and I sympathize with the restau-
rant, Kiesel said. But where do you
draw the line on relinquishing safety
concerns?
Part of the reason he became opposed
to allowing for the continuance of
hookah was after asking staff to com-
pile more research about hookah and
electronic cigarette smoke, Kiesel said.
Im informed that hookah pipes have
the same carcinogens, so now thats
called a cigarette or a cigar in my terms.
If e-cigarettes are clean, them Im ne.
But if theyre not and the [Food and Drug
Administration] classies them as a
tobacco product, then I would be sup-
portive of banning them, Kiesel said.
Because electronic cigarettes are a
nicotine product, Perez said he wants
them to be regulated in the same manner
as traditional cigarettes.
Public input
The City Council has a range of
things from which to choose and the
public is encouraged to attend and pro-
vide input Monday, Toler said. No for-
mal decisions will be made Monday but
staff is asking for council direction. If
the council decides to go in a fairly
straightforward direction, staff could
return with an ordinance for hearing as
early as March 17, Toler said.
Regardless of how the council moves,
staff would draft the amended ordinance,
return it for public hearing and a second
reading before it could pass. Assuming
everything goes smoothly, the earliest
any ordinance could go into effect would
be June, Toler said.
We understand that [the city has] the
right to ban smoking if it so chooses
from a legal perspective. And that could
extend into residential areas, Toler
said. It could extend into private prop-
erty as well as public property. And typ-
ically those laws are put in place
because of public health and safety and
frankly, that would have to be the prem-
ise behind it.
The Amendments to Smoking
Ordinance Study Session will be held
6:30 p.m. tonight, Feb. 24 at City Hall,

There Is
New Hope!
A Health Center
Dedicated to
Severe Disc
Conditions
If you suffer with lower back,
neck, or leg pain, we invite you to try
our non surgical solution. The pain
from degenerating and bulging discs
affects everything that you do, from
work, to play, and ultimately your
quality of life. At Crossroads Heath
Center, we have created an entire
facility dedicated to patients with
severe disc conditions that have not
responded to traditional care. Our
revolutionary, Crossroads Method,
provides a very high success rate to
patients with serious back, neck,
leg and arm pain even when all
else has failed. This FDA cleared;
non-surgical treatment allows us
to rehabilitate your herniated or
degenerative disc(s) by reversing
internal pressure and enabling your
disc(s) to heal from the inside out.
We succeed where other treatments
have failed by removing the
pressure that is causing pain to
your disc(s) and nerves without
drugs, injections, invasive surgery or
harmful side effects.
The only ofce to have
The Crossroads Method
This method which includes
computerized true disc
decompression is considered by
many doctors to be the most
advanced and successful non-
invasive treatment of serious back,
neck, leg or arm pain.
This procedure allows for a much
higher success rate by increasing
hydration of your discs, fexibility,
relaxation of muscles and ligaments
along with improving muscle and
core strength, balance and posture.
This results in a more effective and
lasting solution to your pain. There
are no side effects and no recovery
time is required.
This gentle and relaxing treatment
has proven to be effective even
when drugs, epidurals, traditional
chiropractic, physical therapy
and surgery have failed The
Crossroads Method has shown
dramatic results.
Patient Testimonials
During the 1 1/2 years of having
constant daily lower back pain and
spasms, I took anti-infammatory
and pain medication, but nothing
helped lessen the pain. When an MRI
showed that I had two degenerative
discs, I went through a series of
lumbar epidural injections without
success. The only thing that made
the pain and spasms go away was
Spinal Decompression treatments at
Crossroads Health Center. Four years
later and I am still pain-free!
Lisa K. San Jose, 2013
I came in to Dr. Ferrigno for
lower back pain. Its a problem
that I have had for about 10 to
15 years. I tried everything from
physiatrists, medical doctors,
doctor of osteopathy, chiropractic,
acupuncture, pain medications,
epidural injections and everything
was a temporary fx. I decided to try
the DRX therapy and Ive gone from
an average pain level between 5/7
out of 10 all the way down to a pain
level of 1 to 2 pretty consistently.
The DRX was defnitely the only
thing that has made me feel better.
Brian G. Los Gatos CA. 2013
How Will I Know If I Qualify
for Treatment?
When you come in for a
complimentary consultation we will
ask a series of questions and perform
a comprehensive examination to
determine exactly where the pain is
coming from. If x-rays are necessary,
we can take them in our offce. Once
we determine the cause of your
pain we will let you know if we can
help you and if you qualify for our
treatment protocol.
If we dont feel like we can help we
will refer you to someone who can.

Bulging, Herniated or Degenerative Disc?
