Is evidence sufficient to try former fire chief?


Mark Ladas has yet to have preliminary hearing in grand theft case
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Mark Steven Ladas, the former chief of the


Central County Fire Department, has still
not had a judge decide whether the evidence
prosecutors have gathered against him is
sufficient enough to move ahead to a jury
trial nearly 14 months after his arrest for
grand theft and tax evasion.
Ladas was arraigned Dec. 4, 2014, pleaded
not guilty and was supposed to face a preliminary hearing before March 2015.
There have been at least five and possibly
six preliminary hearing dates since his
arrest with the latest being Tuesday, Feb. 2.
But the defense asked for a continuance
and it was granted without prosecution
objection. The evidentiary hearing has been
continued at least five times now for a variety of reasons.
Ladas retained attorney Eric Hove shortly
after his arrest.
On March 25, 2015, Hove asked for a
continuance to review newly arrived
records.
On June 24, 2015, a continuance was
granted at the request of prosecutors because
an investigator was unavailable to testify.
On Aug. 18, 2015, a continuance was
granted to the defense at the request of Hove
for further preparation.
On Oct. 28, 2015, a continuance was
granted at the request of both the prosecution and defense due to an unavailable witness.
On Tuesday, Hove asked for a continuance
due to an unexpected illness, according to
court documents provided by the San Mateo

County
District
Attorneys Office.
The prosecution was
set to present its evidence Tuesday and had
some witnesses lined up
to
testify,
District
Attorney
Steve
Wagstaffe said.
Continuances occur
Mark Ladas
with
regularity,
Wagstaffe said Wednesday.
It can be a frustrating process, he said.
Preliminary hearings should occur ideally
within a couple of months after the arrest,
he said.
If the defense exercises their right to a
speedy trial, prosecutors have to be ready to
go to trial within two weeks, he said.
We will get there eventually, Wagstaffe
said.
The case was continued again to Feb. 10,
not for a preliminary hearing but rather to
set a new preliminary hearing date.
In December 2014, Ladas pleaded not
guilty to 10 felony charges in a case prosecutors say was a sophisticated scheme
that netted thousands of dollars through the
use of fraudulent credit cards at a fake business controlled by his wife.
Ladas, 51, faces six counts of felony
grand theft, two counts of tax evasion and
two counts of filing false reports. The former fire chief, who was placed on paid
administrative leave in light of his arrest,
surrendered his passport and was ordered not
to leave the state without the courts permission. He retired his post from the
Central County Fire Department a few weeks
after his arrest.

His base salary was $196,420 annually


and he earned an extra 10 percent for serving
as chief to Millbrae and San Bruno as well as
his
administrative
duties
serving
Burlingame and Hillsborough.
Prosecutors say Ladas was involved in the
scheme with his wife, Peta, during which he
illegally obtained nearly $35,000.
From January 2011 to June 2013, Peta
Ladas reportedly opened several fraudulent
credit cards using false names, then started a
fake business to use the cards to make false
transactions and deposit money into fraudulent bank accounts.
Peta Ladas was arrested in December
2012, but fled the country after Mark Ladas
posted her $10,000 bail in cash, according
to prosecutors. A maid at a Burlingame hotel
where Peta Ladas stayed just before she fled
turned over to Burlingame police a wallet
left behind in her room with her identification and several fake credit cards, according
to prosecutors.
The suspicious discovery led the District
Attorneys Office to open a separate investigation into Mark Ladas own accounts.
Before long, investigators reportedly found
nearly $35,000 of fraudulent funds deposited in three of Ladas personal bank
accounts, according to prosecutors.
Neither Mark nor Peta Ladas claimed any
of the proceeds from the phony business on
their 2011 or 2012 tax returns, according to
prosecutors.
Ladas, who resides in Hillsborough,
remains out of custody on a $80,000 bail
bond.
Neither Ladas nor his attorney Hove could
be reached for comment Wednesday.

Affordable housing
policy revision sought
South City officials look to subsidize below-market units
By Austin Walsh

Comment on

www.smdailyjournal.com

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

To combat the escalating cost of living in


South San Francisco, officials are considering revising policies with the intention of
smoothing the path toward financing construction of affordable housing.
The South San Francisco Planning
Commission, during a meeting Thursday,
Feb. 4, is expected to discuss adjusting an
existing requirement for any housing development which accepts a city subsidy to set
aside 20 percent of the units at a below-market rate.
Under the proposed amendment, a financial contribution from the city paying
toward the conversion of market-rate units
to an affordable price would no longer be
considered a subsidy, and would not trigger
the 20 percent requirement.
Developers are often wary of building
affordable units, due to the reduced opportunity to earn return on investment, and many
may consider a policy requiring such a substantial portion of a project be offered at a
reduced rate cost prohibitive, said Alex
Greenwood, the citys director of Economic
and Community Development.
This is a slight administrative adjustment, that will increase the opportunity for
more workforce housing said Greenwood.
The revised policy is designed to allow
the city to finance development of more
workforce units by paying from a housing
fund to backfill the difference between market and affordable rates, said Greenwood.
Under the existing policy, any payment
from the city would require such a substan-

tial portion of the development to be priced


affordably, Greenwood said developers may
be reluctant to accept payment for fear of
being forced to lose earning power.
City officials would rather be able to pay
for the development of a small portion of
units in a project to be priced affordably,
than see builders forgo accepting contributions to avoid triggering the potentially
restrictive threshold, said Greenwood.
Officials are committed to maintaining
the affordability of South San Francisco,
said Greenwood, and expect the proposed
amendment will assist in realizing that
goal.
This is one of the strategies to give the
council more flexibility in building more
workforce housing, he said.
Planning commissioners cannot implement the policy revision during the meeting, but will pass on a recommendation for
action to the South San Francisco City
Council at a yet to be determined date.
The policy is part of a larger effort by
South San Francisco officials to build more
workforce housing, as they have recently
issued requests for proposals to developers
interested in building affordable projects on
city-owned property.
Greenwood has said roughly 100 affordable units are currently in the pipeline for
construction throughout South San
Francisco.

Official: El Nio could signal


easing of California drought
FRESNO In the strongest indication
yet that the California drought could be easing, officials said strict water conservation
orders could be dramatically scaled back or
even ended if El Nio storms keep pummeling the state into the spring.
The assessment came amid encouraging
results from Tuesdays measurement of the
Sierra Nevada snowpack, which provides a
third of the states water during the spring
runoff when it feeds rivers and replenishes
depleted reservoirs.
The water content of the snowpack now
stands at 130 percent of normal for this time
of year.
We are hopeful that we are turning the
corner on this drought, State Water
Resources Control Board chair Felicia
Marcus said in a statement. The truth is that
its just too soon to tell.
The board exercised caution Tuesday when
it extended an emergency conservation
order by Gov. Jerry Brown that requires
communities to cut water use by 25 percent
in response to the four-year drought.
Come April, when the snowpack is typically at its highest level, officials intend to
revisit the conservation plan. By then, they
should know the full impact of the heralded

Study: Texas birth control fell


after Planned Parenthood cut
AUSTIN, Texas A new study finds that
Texas saw a drop in women obtaining longacting birth control after Republican leaders
booted Planned Parenthood from a state
womens health program in 2013, which
researchers say may explain an increase in
births among some poor families.
The research examined the effects of Texas
severing taxpayer ties with the largest abortion provider in the U.S. The same year
Texas barred Planned Parenthood, then-Gov.
Rick Perry signed tough abortion restrictions that shuttered clinics statewide.
Researchers say their findings suggest a
likely policy link between the exclusion of
Planned Parenthood and women obtaining
long-acting birth control.
Republican state Sen. Jane Nelson called
the study misleading and defended access to
womens services.
The study was released Wednesday by the
New England Journal of Medicine.

San Bruno teen pleads no


contest to two robberies
By Scott Morris
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

A San Bruno teen pleaded no contest to


two counts of robbery on Tuesday for robbing a woman at gunpoint in San Mateo in
October and robbing a man in San Bruno a
month earlier, prosecutors said.
Michael Alexander Rodriguez, 19, faces
up to four years in prison for the two robberies when he is sentenced on March 3,
according to the San Mateo County District
Attorneys Office.
The first robbery happened on Sept. 6,
when a 21-year-old man was walking home
in San Bruno at 10:51 p.m. after picking up
takeout food, prosecutors said.
The victim had driven to the restaurant and
parked his car on Linden Avenue near his
home when he returned.
As he was walking, Rodriguez and an
accomplice approached him and put a gun to
his throat. They demanded everything he
had and took his wallet and cellphone, making him unlock the phone and disable the
passcode feature.
The second robbery happened about a
month later on Oct. 2. Rodriguez
approached a 40-year-old woman walking

home from Western


Union in San Mateo.
When she was almost
to her home on DeSabla
Road,
Rodriguez
approached her and
demanded her money,
threatening to shoot her
with a replica gun. He

tors said.
Police pulled Rodriguez over for a traffic
violation on Oct. 14 and noticed a replica
handgun on the back seat of the car. They
connected the gun to the robbery and the
victim identified him in a photo lineup,
prosecutors said.
Investigators encountered Rodriguez
again on Oct. 27 while doing a probation
search of a possible accomplices home. He
was there during the search and police found
more evidence connecting him to the robbery.
He pleaded no contest Tuesday on the condition that he receives no more than four
years in prison for both robberies, prosecutors said. He remains in custody on $50,000
bail.

Obama visits U.S. mosque, says


impression of Muslims distorted
By Darlene Superville
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CATONSVILLE,
Md.

President Barack Obama sought


Wednesday to correct what he
called a hugely distorted impression of Muslim-Americans as he
made his first visit to a U.S.
mosque. He said those who demonize all Muslims for the acts of a
few are playing into extremists
hands.
Inserting himself into a debate
that has ricocheted in the presidential campaign, Obama told parishioners at a mosque outside
Baltimore that hed heard from
young Muslims worried theyll be
rounded up and kicked out of the

country. He said Muslims, too, are


concerned about the threat of terrorism but are too often blamed as
a group for the violent acts of the
very few.
Weve seen children bullied,
weve seen mosques vandalized,
Obama said, warning that such
unequal treatment for certain
groups in society tears at the
nations fabric. Thats not who we
are.
For Muslim advocates, Obamas
visit was a long-awaited gesture to
a community that has warned of
escalating vitriol against them
that has accompanied the publics
concern about the Islamic State and
other extremist groups. Although
Obama has visited mosques over-

seas, he waited until his final year


in office to make such a visit at
home, reflecting the issues sensitive political implications.
In this years Republican presidential campaign, Donald Trump
has called for banning Muslims
from the U.S. temporarily and Ted
Cruz and Marco Rubio warned of

terrorism.
Muslim-American

antagonism that has followed
recent attacks in Paris and San
Bernardino, California, by those
purporting to act in the name of

Few Zika samples being shared by Brazil


By Maria Cheng, Raphael
Satter and Joshua Goodman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RIO DE JANEIRO U.N. and


U. S. health officials tell the
Associated Press that Brazil has
yet to share enough samples and
disease data needed to answer the
most worrying question about the
Zika outbreak: whether the virus is
actually responsible for the
increase in the number of babies
born with abnormally small heads
in Brazil.
The lack of data is frustrating
efforts to develop diagnostic
tests, drugs and vaccines.
Laboratories in the United States
and Europe are relying on samples
from
previous
outbreaks.
Scientists say having so little to
work with is hampering their ability to track the virus evolution.
One major problem appears to
be Brazilian law. At the moment,
it is technically illegal for
Brazilian researchers and institutes to share genetic material,
including blood samples containing Zika and other viruses.
Its a very delicate issue, this
sharing of samples. Lawyers have
to be involved, said Dr. Marcos
Espinal, director of communicable
diseases in the World Health
Organizations regional office in
Washington.
Espinal said he hoped the issue
might be resolved after discussions between the U. S. and
Brazilian presidents. He said
WHOs role was mainly to be a
broker to encourage countries to
share. When asked whether the
estimate of other scientists that
Brazil had provided fewer than 20
samples was true, he agreed it
probably was.
There is no way this should not
be solved in the foreseeable
future, he said. Waiting is
always risky during an emergency.
Last May, as the first cases of
Zika in Brazil were emerging,
President Dilma Rousseff signed a
new law to regulate how
researchers use the countrys
genetic resources. But the regulatory framework hasnt yet been

Higher temperatures make Zika


mosquito spread disease more
By Seth Borenstein
WASHINGTON In its brief
lifespan, the mosquito that carries the Zika virus is caught in a
race: Will it pass the disease to
humans before it dies?
Weather might make the difference. Scientists say the hotter it
gets, the more likely the insect
can spread disease.
As the temperature rises, nearly
everything about the biology of
the Aedes aegypti mosquito
the one that carries Zika, dengue
fever and other diseases speeds
up when it comes to spreading
disease, said entomologist Bill

Reisen of the University of


California Davis.
With higher temperatures you
have more mosquitoes feeding
more frequently and having a
greater chance of acquiring infection. And then the virus replicates faster because its hotter,
therefore the mosquitoes can
transmit earlier in their life,
Reisen said. The thermodynamics
of mosquitoes are driven by temperature.
The hotspots for this Zika outbreak also have been temperature
and drought hotspots recently.
Recife, Brazil, the largest city in
the Zika-struck region, saw its

hottest
September-OctoberNovember on record, about 1.2
degrees Celsius (2. 2 degrees
Fahrenheit) above normal,
according to NASA data. The state
of Pernambuco had its hottest and
driest year since 1998, according
to the state weather agency. And
globally, last year was the
hottest on record.
Although it is too early to say
for this outbreak, past outbreaks
of similar diseases involved more
than just biology. In the past,
weather has played a key role, as
have economics, human travel,
air conditioning and mosquito
control.

drafted, leaving scientists in legal


limbo.
Until the law is implemented,
were legally prohibited from

sending samples abroad, said


Paulo Gadelha, president of the
Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, Brazils
premier state-run research insti-

tute for tropical diseases. Even if


we wanted to send this material
abroad, we cant because its considered a crime.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The ban does not necessarily


mean foreign researchers cant
access samples. Some were shared
with the United States, including
tissue samples from two newborns
who died and two fetuses recently
examined by the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention.
But a U.S. official said that wasnt
enough to develop accurate tests
for the virus or help determine
whether Zika is in fact behind the
recent jump in the number of congenital defects. The spike in cases
prompted WHO to declare an international emergency Monday.
Given the drought of Brazilian
samples, public health officials
across the world are falling back
on older viruses or discreetly
taking them from private
patients.
The U.S. official, who shared
the information on condition of
anonymity as he was not authorized to speak publicly, said the
CDC was relying on a strain taken
from a 2013 outbreak in French
Polynesia to perfect its Zika tests.
U. S. researchers trying to
sequence Zikas genetic code have
been forced to rely on virus samples from Puerto Rico for the same
reason, he said.
In England, researchers are
using samples drawn from
Micronesia, the site of an outbreak in 2007. The French are
relying
on
samples
from
Polynesia and Martinique. In
Spain, scientists have a Ugandan
strain of Zika supplied by the
United States. Even Portugal,
Brazils former colonial master,
doesnt have the Brazilian strain;
the National Health Institute in
Lisbon said its tests relied on a
U. S. sample from the 1980s,
among others.
Some researchers are bypassing
Brazils bureaucracy by getting
samples sent to them for testing
by a private lab, said Dr. Jonas
Schmidt-Chanasit, an expert on
mosquito-borne diseases at the
Bernhard Nocht Institute for
Tropical Medicine in Hamburg.
Its almost impossible to get
samples from the country,
Schmidt-Chanasit told AP, referring to Brazil.

Afghan insurgents kill


boy who joined militia
By Rahim Faiez and Lynne ODonnell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KABUL, Afghanistan A 10-year-old Afghan boy who


was declared a hero after fighting the Taliban has been shot
dead by insurgents while on his way to school, officials said
Wednesday.
Wasil Ahmad, who had fought the Taliban alongside his
uncle on many occasions, was killed Monday near his home
in Tirin Kot, the capital of the southern Uruzgan province,
said deputy police chief Rahimullah Khan.
The 10-year-old boy had been a local celebrity of sorts,
with widely circulated photographs on social media showing him holding an automatic weapon and wearing a uniform
and helmet.
Ahmads uncle was a former Taliban commander who
changed allegiance to the government and was appointed
local police commander in Khas Uruzgan district, Khan said.
The use of child soldiers is illegal in Afghanistan, but the
charity Child Soldiers International said both government
forces and insurgents have been recruiting minors for years.
The organizations policy and advocacy director Charu
Lata Hogg told the Associated Press that the Afghan government, despite pledging to stop the recruitment and use of
children by the Afghan security forces, was making slow
and tardy progress.
There is a lack of political will to address this issue, and
while its within the framework of overall human rights violations, there is a specific commitment by the government
to clean it up but sufficient measures are not being taken,
she said.
In a June 2015 report presented to the U.N. Security
Councils working group on children and armed conflict, the
London-based charity said children were recruited by the
Afghan National Police and the Afghan Local Police.

GENEVA The peace talks in the

fighting is not.
U.N. Special Envoy for Syria Staffan
de Mistura announced Wednesday there
would be a temporary pause in the
indirect peace talks between the government and opposition, saying the
process will resume Feb. 25.
The delay reflects the rocky start of
the talks Monday in which neither the
government nor the opposition even
acknowledged that the negotiations
had officially begun.
It is not the end, and it is not the
failure of the talks, de Mistura told
reporters after a meeting with opposition leaders.
Both sides remain interested in
having the political process started,
he added.
The conflict that began in March
2011 has killed at least 250,000 people, displaced 11 million and given an
opening for the Islamic State group to
seize large parts of the country from
forces loyal to President Bashar Assad.

so many difficult moments you have to

be determined, but also realistic.
The last round of talks broke down in
2014.
The Saudi-backed opposition,
known as the High Negotiations
Committee, had been reluctant to come
to the talks, saying the government
should first end the bombardment of
civilians, allow aid into besieged
rebel-held areas, and release thousands
of detainees.

not met those demands.
The HNC delegation will leave
tomorrow and will not return (to
Geneva) until we see positive steps on

Report: Its ethical to test embryos from DNA of three people


By Lauran Neergaard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Its ethical to test


a provocative new fertility technique
that would prevent mothers from passing on rare but devastating diseases by
creating embryos from the DNA of
three people dad, mom and an egg
donor advisers to the government
said Wednesday.
But dont expect studies to begin
anytime soon. Its not clear that such
research can overcome political hurdles.
At issue is a kind of DNA that children can inherit only from their moth-

er: genes that are inside the mitochondria, the energy factories in cells.
Britain last year became the first country to approve creation of embryos
that swap a mothers defective mitochondrial DNA with healthy genetic
material from a donor egg.
The Food and Drug Administration
has been considering whether to allow
that replacement technique to be tested
in the U.S. But its controversial, in
part because such alterations could be
passed to future generations.
In a report requested by the FDA, the
Institute of Medicine said Wednesday
that it is ethical to do such research if
initial experiments follow certain

strict safety steps. They must target


women at high risk of passing on a
severe disease, and in the first
attempts at pregnancy researchers
should implant only male embryos.
Thats because when they grow up,
those men couldnt pass on mitochondrial alterations to their own children.
Such research wont happen this
year. While the FDA said it would be
carefully reviewing the report and recommendations, it noted that when
Congress passed the agencys 2016
budget, it prohibited using any of the
money to review applications involving inheritable genetic modification
of embryos.

SEOUL, South Korea South Korea warned on


Wednesday of searing consequences if North Korea doesnt abandon plans to launch a long-range rocket that critics
call a banned test of ballistic missile technology.
The Souths rhetoric about unspecified harsh consequences comes less than a month after North Koreas defiant
fourth nuclear test and as diplomats at the U.N. work on
strong new sanctions against the North.
North Korea on Tuesday informed international organizations of its plans to launch an Earth observation satellite
on a rocket between Feb. 8 and 25, and if North Koreas past
patterns are any clue, angry warnings by its neighbors and
Washington probably wont dissuade a coming launch.

NEW YORK Stocks staged a rapid


comeback in late-afternoon trading to
close solidly higher Wednesday, helped
by a surge in the price of oil and a
decline in the U.S. dollar.
Chipotle Mexican Grill fell as the
company said a federal investigation
into its E. coli outbreak had widened,
and Yahoo sank as the troubled Internet
company announced layoffs and plans
to sell businesses.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose
183.12 points, or 1.1 percent, to
16,336.66. The Standard & Poors 500
index rose 9.50 points, or 0.5 percent,
to 1,912.53 and the Nasdaq composite
fell 12.71 points, or 0.3 percent, to
4,504.24.
It was a day of major swings. The Dow
had been down nearly 200 points earlier. Major industries that were deep in the
red, like energy and financials, were
able to recover almost all the ground
they lost. In the red most of the day,
energy stocks ended up nearly 4 percent.
The gains can be largely attributed to
a decline in the value of dollar against
the major other currencies. The U.S. dol-

lar index, which tracks the dollar


against other major currencies, fell 1.7
percent, a large move for the foreign
exchange market. Nearly all that decline
happened in the last two hours of trading.
Many U.S. companies have been
complaining that the appreciation of
the dollar was eroding their earnings by
making U.S. exports less profitable.
A weaker dollar also tends to send
commodity prices higher. That was a
relief to investors as well since a plunge
in the price of crude oil has been decimating profits at energy companies.
An unusually weak U.S. dollar provided a key impetus to todays rally,
Jim Ritterbusch, an oil analyst with
Ritterbusch and Associates, wrote in a
note to investors.
The price of U.S. crude oil jumped
$2.40, or 8 percent, to close at $32.28
a barrel, which helped lift up energy
stocks.
Despite the gains on Wednesday,
investors remain skeptical of this market. They are still putting money into
traditional safe-havens: stocks that pay
high dividends, U.S. government
bonds, and precious metals.

GoPro reports 4Q loss, issues weak sales forecast


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN MATEO Slumping wearable


camera maker GoPro Inc. on
Wednesday reported a surprise fourthquarter loss and forecast sales well
below Wall Street expectations, sending its stock tumbling.
The San Mateo company also named
a new finance chief.
GoPro said it lost $34.5 million, or
25 cents a share, in the last three
months of 2015. Losses, adjusted for
stock option expense and pretax
expenses, came to 8 cents per share.
The average estimate of 11 analysts
surveyed by Zacks Investment
Research was for adjusted earnings of 1
cent per share. In the same period of

2014, it earned $122.1 million, or 83


cents a share.
Revenue fell 31 percent to $436.6
million. Six analysts surveyed by
Zacks expected $434.9 million.
CEO Nicholas Woodman acknowledged the slowdown in revenue in the
second half of last year, saying that
the company recognized the need to
develop software solutions that make
it easier for our customers to offload,
access and edit their GoPro content.
For the current quarter ending in
March, GoPro said it expects revenue
in the range of $160 million to $180
million. Analysts surveyed by FactSet
had been forecasting $291 million.
The company expects full-year rev-

enue in the range of $1.35 billion to


$1.5 billion, also well below Wall
Street expectations of $1.61 billion.
GoPro shares fell 87 cents, or 8 percent, to $9.84 in extended trading following the earnings report. They have
dropped 41 percent since the beginning of the year and 80 percent in the
past 12 months.
Brian McGee, who joined GoPro
from Qualcomm last year, will take
over as CFO on March 11, the company said. Current CFO Jack Lazar is
retiring.
For the year, GoPro reported profit
of $36.1 million, or 25 cents per
share. Revenue was reported as $1.62

Wells Fargo to pay $1.2 billion to settle home loan case

Federal Housing Administration home
mortgage program.
The bank said Wednesday it reached
the agreement earlier this week with the
U.S. Department of Justice, two attorneys general and the Department of
Housing and Urban Development. The

company said the agreement still needs

The Department of Justice declined to
comment.
In 2012, the federal government sued
Wells Fargo accusing the bank of misrepresenting the quality of thousands of
loans in order to be eligible for federal
loan insurance. The government wanted
to recover money that the FHA paid
after borrowers defaulted on Wells
Fargo mortgage loans.

Wells Fargo, the countrys largest


mortgage lender, said the settlement is
related to the 2012 case and other pending or potential cases.
The company said that because of the
settlement, the bank will reduce its
2015 net income by $134 million, or 3
cents per common share, to $22.9 billion, or $4.12 per common share.

Governor signs emergency
amendment to medical marijuana law
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown has signed an emergency bill that eliminates an upcoming deadline local governments faced to ban or regulate medical marijuana cultivation.
The governor on Wednesday signed AB21 by Democratic
Assemblyman Jim Wood of Healdsburg. The bill amends the
comprehensive medical marijuana regulations the California
Legislature passed in September.
The framework approved in the closing hours of the legislative session included a paragraph that would have given
the state alone authority to license pot growers in jurisdictions that did not have laws on the books by March 1 specifically allowing or outlawing cultivation.
Fearful of losing their power to set policy to the state,
dozens of cities chose to ban pot-growing within their borders.
Wood says the deadline made it into the regulations by mistake and that local officials now can take time to consider the
issue.

Google to test self-driving

KIRKLAND, Wash. Google says it will begin testing its
self-driving cars in Kirkland, Washington.
The Seattle suburb will become the third city to see the
vehicles on its streets. The company has previously tested
the self-driving cars in Mountain View where Google is
based, and Austin Texas.
Google said in a statement Wednesday its test drivers have
been driving a single Lexus SUV in an area of Kirkland and
making detailed maps of the streets. The company said when
the self-driving car begins operations there will be a test
driver in the vehicle to take over if needed.
Google has a large campus in Kirkland, located about 12
miles east of Seattle.
The company has concluded that human error is the biggest
danger in driving, and the company wants to remove the
steering wheel and pedals from cars of the future, giving people minimal ability to intervene.

Ailing media mogul Sumner


Redstone resigns as chair of CBS
NEW YORK Sumner Redstone, the ailing 92-year-old
media mogul who controls media giants CBS and Viacom,
has stepped down as executive chairman of CBS amid a courtroom battle over his health and mental capacity. CBS Chief
Executive Leslie Moonves will replace him as chairman.
Redstones resignation took effect Tuesday, leaving him
chairman emeritus of CBS, the company said. It did not give
an update on his health. Redstone remains executive chairman of Viacom. He effectively controls both companies
through a trust.
CBS shares rose 4.4 percent in after-hours trading to
$50.37 after already climbing 3.5 percent in the regular session.
Redstone has been at the center of a monthslong court
fight. His ex-girlfriend and longtime companion Manuela
Herzer, who had been in control of Redstones care, issued a
court challenge over his decision-making capacity after she
was expelled from his house in October.

Skyline women continue dominance of rival CSM


By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The Skyline College womens basketball team just has College of San Mateos
number.
With an 83-72 victory Wednesday night
at CSM, Skyline extended its current winning streak against the Bulldogs to seven
games dating back to 2012-13, including
the third straight year the Trojans have
swept the season series between the rivals.

The Trojans (5-3 in Coast North, 15-9


overall) had the magic touch from beyond
the arc, hitting eight 3-pointers in the
game, including six in the first half.
Sophomore forward Stephanie Allen was a
force driving the hoop with a team-high 23
points, but freshman Juliet Courtney added
14 points while converting four 3s on the
night.
I saw the opportunities, so I took them,
Courtney said. And the defense was leaving
me open, so I went for it.
The task for Skyline was in containing

CSM center Mariah Elzy. The 6-foot freshman is averaging a double-double this season, ranking 10th in the state with 19.3
points per game, and sixth in the state with
12.8 rebound per game. And the Bulldogs
big bettered her average on both counts
Wednesday, totaling game-highs with 34
points and 18 rebounds.
But Skyline countered with superb ball
control. After committing five turnovers in
the first quarter, the Trojans totaled just six

late in the fourth quarter with the CSM

Wednesday night, the Hillsdale girls basketball team did in the first two quarters
what no Peninsula Athletic League team has
done to Menlo-Atherton this season: the
Knights had the Bears on their heels.
Hillsdale rode a hot start to 13-point second-quarter lead and settled for a 30-23
advantage at halftime in a battle of PAL
South unbeatens.
The Knights simply out-played the Bears
in the first half and M-A was facing its first
deficit in league play this season.
In the second half, however, the real M-A
squad showed up. The Bears scorched the
nets over the final two periods and Hillsdale
could not buy a basket as M-A went on to
rout the Knights 65-35.
[We] go into every game thinking it will
be a challenge. We never overlook an
opponent, said M-A coach Markisha
Coleman. We knew Hillsdale was going to
give us a good game.
After a lethargic start, M-A (9-0 PAL
South, 19-2 overall) came out flying in the
second half. The Bears, who hit on just 9 of
27 shots in the first half, had eight field
goals in the third quarter alone.
Hillsdale (8-1, 12-9), on the other hand,
was ice-cold in the third and fourth quarters.
The Knights connected on 7 of 11 shots in
the first quarter and finished the half shooting 43 percent from the field.
Over the final two quarters? Hillsdale
managed just two baskets. Add it all up and
in equals a 42-5 second-half run for the
Bears.
We played a whole different game in that
(second half), Coleman said.
M-A grabbed the momentum just before
the end of the second quarter and never gave
it back. Mele Kailahis 3-pointer at the halftime buzzer cut the Bears deficit to single
digits, 30-23.
Ten seconds into the third quarter, M-As
Megan Sparrow splashed home a 3 and the
Bears were cooking. They rattled off nine

Curry drops 51, hits 11 3s in Warriors win


By Stephen Whyno
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Following one of his


worst offensive games this season, reigning NBA MVP Stephen Curry stopped thinking about basketball and recalibrated his
mind. It worked out just fine.
Curry was all systems go Wednesday
night as he made 11 3-pointers and scored
51 points to lead the Golden State Warriors
past the Washington Wizards 134-121 for

their eighth straight victory, which came in spite


of a monster performance from John Wall.
Wall scored a seasonbest 41 points in the
shadows as Curry shot
13 of 14 for 36 points in
the best first half of his
Steph Curry career. After scoring just
13 points Sunday at New
York, Curry was in a zone, tying Gilbert

Arenas and Michael Jordan for the Verizon


Center record and reaching 50 for the second
time this season.
The shots that you know feel good go in,
and some of the shots that youre like, Oh
thats off, they end up going in, Curry
said. Its a fun feeling, and you want to ride
that until you cant anymore.
Curry looked human when he missed
seven of 10 shots during the third quarter
but was dominant most of the night as the
Warriors (45-4) matched the 1966-67

Philadelphia 76ers for the best 49-game


start in NBA history.
Its like Kobe (Bryant) when he had 81,
Wall said. He couldnt miss. You keep
defending the best way you can. We challenged some shots. He didnt have too many
open looks. He just made them.
Currys 5 of 17 shooting performance
against the Knicks was all forgotten by the
end of this game. Not like coach Steve Kerr
was worried.

Raiders legend Ken Stabler had brain disease CTE


By Jimmy Golen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON Former Oakland Raiders quarterback Ken Stabler, the late NFL MVP and
Super Bowl winner who is a finalist for the
Pro Football Hall of Fame, has been diagnosed with the brain disease CTE, Boston
University researchers said Wednesday.
Stabler, who died of colon cancer at 69 in
July, had Stage 3 chronic traumatic
encephalopathy, Dr. Ann McKee told The
Associated Press. McKee said the disease
was widespread throughout his brain, with
quite severe damage to the regions
involving learning, memory and regulation
of emotion.
Weve now found CTE in former NFL
players who played every position except
kicker, said McKee, a professor of neurology at Boston University. While we know
on average that certain positions experience more repetitive head impacts and are

more likely at greater


risk for CTE, no position
is immune.
The diagnosis was first
reported by The New
York Times.
The disease, which can
be diagnosed only after
death, is linked to repeatKen Stabler ed brain trauma and associated with symptoms
such as memory loss, depression and progressive dementia. CTE has been found in
the brains of dozens of former football
players.
According to Chris Nowinski, the founder
of the Concussion Legacy Foundation,
Stabler told his family he wanted to have
his brain studied after learning that former
NFL linebacker Junior Seau had been diagnosed with the disease. In 2012, Seau shot
himself in the chest at the age of 43.
What is interesting about Ken Stabler is

that he anticipated his diagnosis years in


advance, Nowinski wrote in an email to the
AP. And even though hes a football icon,
he began actively distancing himself from
(the) game in his final years, expressing
hope that his grandsons would choose not
to play.
McKee said the extent of the damage to
Stablers brain was surprising because he
was relatively young when he died and
because he was a quarterback and thought to
be less exposed to repeated head trauma.
There was no evidence of any other brain
disorder to explain the difficulties he experienced during life, McKee said.
The left-handed Stabler, nicknamed
Snake for his ability to escape from
defenders, led Alabama to an undefeated season in 1966. A second-round draft pick by
Oakland, he was the NFLs Most Valuable
Player in 1974 and led the Raiders to victory in the 1977 Super Bowl.
In all, Stabler threw for 27,938 career

MLSs Galaxy gets richer with signing of DeJong
CARSON The LA Galaxy acquired Dutch midfielder
Nigel de Jong on Wednesday, completing their third highprofile international move of the winter with the signing of
the two-time World Cup veteran on a free transfer.
De Jong spent the past four seasons with AC Milan, serving as captain and making 79 appearances since 2012. He
terminated his contract with the club Monday by mutual
consent.
The 31-year-old De Jong is a standout defensive midfielder adding even more toughness to the Galaxy, who entered
training camp last month with a renewed focus on their own
end. The club hopes de Jong will be a strong midfield partner with Steven Gerrard, providing defensive cover for the
English stars adventurous offensive play.
Nigel is an experienced midfielder who will help the
players around him get better, Galaxy coach Bruce Arena
said. He will add qualities on the field that can strengthen
our team in all areas.
The Galaxy also signed two big-name international
defenders last month, acquiring Englands Ashley Cole and
Belgiums Jelle Van Damme. Both are reporting to the
Galaxy this week.
De Jong made just five appearances this season for his
Italian club despite a contract extension. He played for
Manchester City from 2009-12 and the Bundesligas
Hamburg from 2006-09.

Marshall said at a Super Bowl availability
Wednesday that the news bothers him.
Youve got to look after yourself

De Jong began his pro career at home with Ajax and also

Blue Jays will have dirt infield


in time for coming season
TORONTO The Blue Jays are installing a dirt infield at
the Rogers Centre for the first time but say it is too early to
determine whether they would replace artificial turf with
grass in some future season.
Toronto announced Wednesday that work will begin next
week to excavate about 12,000 square feet of concrete. The
infield and baselines will be dug out to a depth of 12 inches
and filled with layers of gravel, sand and clay.
Toronto and Tampa Bay are the only major league teams
with artificial surfaces at their home ballparks. At
Tropicana Field, the infield and baselines are dirt.
Before moving in June 1989 to what then was called
SkyDome, the Blue Jays spent more than 12 seasons on
artificial turf at Exhibition Stadium.
Former Blue Jays president Paul Beeston expressed a
desire to install grass at Rogers Centre. Mark Shapiro
replaced Beeston in November and said the following
month that installing a grass surface must be weighed
against other potential upgrades.

Losing in the Super Bowl haunts some players


By Barry Wilner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO The pain


of losing a Super Bowl never really disappears. It drives players
who have experienced it to get
back and get it right.
Ricky Proehl has been to four
Super Bowls as a player, going 22. He won and lost with the Rams,
lost with the Panthers, and got the
second ring in his final NFL season, 2006 with Indianapolis.
Hes at the big game again as
Carolinas wide receivers coach,
buoyed by memories of earning
those rings, haunted by remembrances of the two failures.
Anger, disbelief, shock,
Proehl said Wednesday of his reactions to walking off the field a
Super Bowl loser.
And then they rush you off like
its a cattle drive so they can set up
a stage for the winning team. You
sometimes dont even get a chance
to congratulate the winners.
Its painful.
Proehl has relayed those sentiments to some Panthers, emphasizing just how good the opposite
feelings are.
You are on top of the world, on
top of your profession, said the
former receiver who played for six
teams in a 17-year career, the first
nine of which he didnt reach the
postseason.
You start out with a common
goal and youre going with guys
to attain a dream, and then you are
hoisting the Lombardi Trophy.
Everyone in this league should be
able to feel that feeling with their
teammates.

Suffer?
Yeah, man, Sanders added, the

And theres no way of ever easing the hurt unless you return to

victory.
Asked how he thought the

have felt when they fell four

added 14 and Baer had 12. Sparrow finished
with a double-double, scoring 10 points and
grabbing 10 boards.
Not only was M-A getting it done offensively, they flipped a switch defensively as
well. After out-rebounding the Knights by just
one board in the first half, 14-13, the Bears
dominated the glass over the final two periods, pulling down 21 rebounds to just five for
Hillsdale.
We cant get any put backs, Ciardella said.
In the fourth quarter, the tsunami that was
M-A just kept surging. Kailahi opened the
final period by converting a rare four-point
play. She was fouled while draining a 3 and
then hit the free throw to put the Bears up 5032 and it was all but over at that point.
Again, Hillsdale managed only one basket
in the quarter: this time a 3 from Emily
Nepomuceno with 2:30 to play.
We just fell apart (in the second half),
Ciardella said.
It was a completely different story in the

first half, however, Despite starting five


guards against the biggest and most physical
team in the PAL, the Knights came out on fire.
Especially Marissa Otonari, who canned
four 3-pointers in the first six minutes of the
game. With the game tied at 6, Otonari buried
her first 3 to put Hillsdale up 9-6.
We were hot in the beginning, Ciardella
said. [Otonari is] capable of that (hitting 3s
in bunches). Shes a streak shooter.
We have four or five guards who are capable
of doing that.
It was the first of four straight 3s
Nepomuceno sandwiched a 3 between
Otonaris barrage and suddenly, Hillsdale
was 10, 18-8 with 1:53 left in the first quarter.
Izumi would lead the Knights with 14
points, with Nepomuceno chipping in nine.
M-A, meanwhile, struggled with its outside
shooting. The Bears went into the post early
to Sili, but the Knights 2-3 zone slowly started to take away the inside.
And with shooting guard Carly McLanahan
sitting the game out, it took a while for the

rest of the Bears to find its rhythm.


Coleman, however, remained confident her
team would find their stroke.
We have plenty of guards who can shoot,
Coleman said.
The roles remained the same in the second
quarter. The Knights built their biggest lead of
the game, 13 points, following a
Nepomuceno 3 that gave her team a 27-14
with 4:12 to play in the half.
The Knights were still up 12, 30-18, following an Izumi 3-pointer off an in-bound
play, but the Bears rallied with five points in
the final 32 seconds. Sili knocked down a pair
of free throws before Kailahi drained her 3 to
end the half.
To end a half on a positive note is good
going into the locker room, Coleman said.
Credit to Hillsdale. They came out playing
really hard. They played as if they wanted to
stay undefeated. I think (my team was) a little disappointed to let Hillsdale play its game
(in the first two quarters).

who were named to the various teams.


Kelepi Lataimua, a running back/defensive back from Serra, was named honorable
mention for the overall all-state team.
Menlo-Atherton defensive lineman
Bryce Rodgers was named second-team
defense in the medium school division.
A pair of Sacred Heart Prep players were

Devin Asiasi, who went to Henry Ford
Elementary and Clifford Middle schools in
Redwood City before moving to the East
Bay and playing at De La Salle, was named
an overall all-state multi-purpose player as

a tight end and defensive lineman.


Wednesday, Asiasi, one of the top college
recruits in the country, committed to play
football at University of Michigan.

Menlo-Atherton has announced the hiring of Brandon Johnson, who will take
over the boys water polo program.
He takes over for Giovanni Napolitano,
who coached the Bears from 2013 through
this season.
Johnson, who is a PE teacher at Herbert
Hoover Middle School in San Francisco,
was a three-time All-American at U.C.
Irvine and went on to play for the United
States National team for five years and
played three years professionally in
Australia.
Since turning in his players cap for a

coachs whistle, Johnson has served as an


assistant with the Anteaters and also
coached in the USA Water Polo program as
the U18 Olympic development coach. His
previous high school stop was at Palo Alto
High School and is currently a coach on
the Stanford Water Polo Club staff.
Im grateful to be given the opportunity
to take over such a fantastic program,
Johnson said in a press release from the
school. I cant wait to continue to build
on the success that M-A water polo has had
and look forward to the continued growth
of the program.

baseline drive through traffic by freshman
guard Ariana Sheehy, allowing her to feed
Langi with a crisp bounce pass the
Trojans locked down their ball control and
never looked back
Were just such a rhythm team, if we get
in a good rhythm, were not going to turn it
over a lot, Skyline head coach Chris
Watters said.
The shot by Langi who totaled 12
points and seven rebounds set off a ninepoint run by the Trojans. And every time
CSM attempted to make a similar run in the
second quarter, Skyline answered back tirelessly from beyond the arc. Skyline
outscored CSM 22-12 in the quarter, with a
pair of splash-downs from Courtney and one
from sophomore forward Dana Michaels.
Elzy had a strong first half and was even
more productive in the second. But the
freshman went cold for a spell in the third
quarter, and it was enough for Skyline to set
off on an 11-point run to build a 59-31 lead
with just under three minutes remaining in
the quarter.

VEGAS

ultimately drive up cable bills.
KLAS-TV says their proposal is
closer to double current prices and
insists that local broadcasters are
severely underpaid compared with
what Cox pays a channel like ESPN.
Both say nondisclosure terms in their
contract prohibit disclosing the actual
rates.
Cox said Wednesday that it will
make ESPN Deportes free during the
game so that subscribers at least can
watch it in Spanish.
Some fans are bypassing the fight
by purchasing digital antennas, a modern version of rabbit ears that can pull
in local broadcast signals. Others are
switching to satellite or Internetbased TV providers or making plans to
head to bars, restaurants and casino
sports books, which have overlapping satellite systems.

CSM has two dominant bigs in the paint


this season, but 6-1 freshman Corryne
Millet didnt make the start Tuesday. She did
come off the bench to score 10 points and
grab seven rebounds. And CSM head coach
Michelle Warner said the reason Millet didnt start was simply for matchup reasons.
Ultimately, though, the Bulldogs werent
able to dominate the boards even with
Elzys outstanding performance.
Mariah is Mariah, Warner said. She is
going to score, she is going to rebound.
Then everyone else has to do their part.
CSM did get some production from their
guards, with freshman Gabby Jajeh totaling
11 points and Sophia Leon hitting nine.
But Skyline was able to create rebounds
with a scrappy all-around performance,
despite being dominated in the height
department. The Bulldogs managed to outrebound the Trojans just 46-40.
It makes us an all-around good team,
Allen said of Skylines scrappy style.
Everybody has to do a little bit of everything. So, it makes us a better team.
With five games remaining on its regularseason schedule, CSMs postseason hopes
are dwindling fast. The Bulldogs entered
play on the cusp of top 18 teams in
Northern California that will qualify for the
playoffs. But they are in as good a position

Jeffrey Lonergan, 63, said he found a


neighbor with satellite to host his
Super Bowl party.
I think its terrible that they hold us
hostage, he said. Im mad at both of
them that they cant come to an agreement.
At least one TV competitor has benefited from the impasse.
Our phones have been ringing off
the hook and our stores have had
steady
traffic,
CenturyLink
spokesman Jason Chan said in an
email. Many of the customers are
happy there is competition in the market, as it gives them options.
Battles pitting TV service providers
against content programmers and station owners have become increasingly
common. Last year, a record 193
blackouts occurred nationwide, more
than double compared with 2014,
according to the American Television
Alliance. The group lists cable companies among its partners.
Nexstar Broadcasting Groups fight
involves more than a dozen other television stations in Florida, Louisiana,
Arizona, Missouri and Virginia. But

to make a push as theyre going to get, after


being hampered by injuries all year.
CSMs biggest personnel loss of the season came Dec. 19, 2015 in the second game
of the Tom Martinez Invitational
Tournament against Solano, when star
freshman guard Dominique Bonaparte was
lost for the season with a torn ACL. Since
then, CSMs season has been one injury
after another, including Mondays practice
that saw guard Megan Pham suffer an ankle
injury. She still played in Tuesdays game,
but Warner said she was not 100 percent.
This is the first night in a while weve
had everybody, Warner said.
Skyline, meanwhile, makes a climb in the
Coast Conference North with Tuesdays
win. Coupled with Chabots 53-44 loss to
first-place City College of San Francisco,
the Trojans move into a second-place tie
with the Gladiators. The two teams are
schedule for a Feb. 17 showdown at
Skyline.
The Trojans also entered play Tuesday
with the 15th best RPI in Northern
California, putting them in a strong position to qualify for the postseason.
We feel like with each win, we build a
stronger case, Watters said. So, a win
tonight creates a little more separation and
makes a stronger case.

Las Vegas is the only place where the


Super Bowl is at stake.
The battle is playing out in public,
even as the two sides negotiate in private.
Each has sent emails to customers
urging them to take action against the
other. KLAS-TV has aired segments
about the dispute and suggested customers abandon Cox. The cable
provider has pulled $400,000 in advertising from the station and ran ads
elsewhere blaming KLAS.
Frustrated customers just want their
programs back.
I dont know what the real story is,
but I dont care. We are the victims.
Theyre trying to use us as pawns,
said Shook, 64. Its taking joy out of
our lives.
Shook said she likely wont put in
the effort to switch TV services. She
said she only hopes it can be resolved
soon, if not for the Super Bowl, than
for another CBS program shes
watched since she came to the U.S. in
the 1970s from South Korea: 60
Minutes.

I didnt know Steph was in a
slump, Kerr said. Stephs never in
a slump.
Curry made his first six shots
from the floor and was feeling it,
especially from 3-point territory.
He came one 3 short of tying the
single-game record, and though it
was on his mind, he didnt start popping shots just to reach it as the
game got out of hand.
I was kind of searching but not
trying to force with where the game
was, Curry said. You cant mess
around with the basketball gods trying to chase a record if the game
doesnt call for it.
The game called for plenty of baskets because of 18 Golden State
turnovers, including seven from
Curry. Kerr said that needs to change
if the Warriors want to defend their
NBA title.
Many of those turnovers turned
into points for Wall, who shot 17 of
25 and added 10 assists to set the
tone for the Wizards (21-26), who
led early but never got closer than
two after the first quarter.
I was just being aggressive and
doing whatever shots I had, Wall
said. It was just a fast-paced game.
(I was) also attacking the basket and
getting to the rim a little bit.
Wall was doing all those things,
but Curry was doing it all. He finished 19 of 28 and 11 of 16 from 3
but was still kicking himself for the
turnovers more than reveling in the
points.

sued the union of its world championship
womens soccer team on Wednesday, saying

thats when they got back in the

them any life with transition or easy

culprit plenty of times.

Memory lane
Twenty years after he and the
Chicago Bulls won their record-setting 72nd game of the 1995-96 season against the Washington Bullets
in Landover, Maryland, Kerr
returned to the area as Warriors
coach seeing a lot of similarities as
far as the attention the teams
received.
It was a pretty big deal then,
obviously with Michael (Jordan)
drawing so much attention everywhere we went, Kerr said. I think
today things are bigger in a lot of
ways with social media and so many
different media outlets. And Steph is
getting a lot of notoriety, obviously, and drawing fans and media
everywhere we go.

The USSF claimed Nichols informed it on
Dec. 23 that the deal will end on Feb. 24 and

the union would not strike before Dec. 31.
The USSF asked the court to determine the
CBA exists and has an expiration of Dec.

Decorators tips for a cozy winter bedroom


By Melissa Rayworth
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Decorating a bedroom is about creating a


peaceful retreat, and in winter that means
making it as cozy and welcoming as possible.
For some people, cozy requires the physical warmth of thick flannel sheets and soft
quilts, says California-based designer
Kathryn Bechen. For others, filling a bedroom with sentimental items can make the
space feel warmer and more welcoming. Still
others find that the golden glow of soft light
bulbs and the flicker of candles (real or fake)
can elevate a bedroom from merely comfortable to truly cozy on winter nights.
Here, Bechen and two other interior designers Maxwell Ryan, founder of the
Apartment Therapy website (apartmenttherapy.com), and New York-based Young Huh
suggest ways to create the warmest, coziest
bedroom possible.

SOUNDS AND SCENTS


A cozy bedroom is quiet, says Ryan. So
consider adding an extra throw rug on the
floor or heavier draperies on the windows to
absorb sound. And if you dont already have
one, he says, get a padded, upholstered headboard.
Ryan treated himself to one several years
ago and was surprised at the impact.
Lying in bed, my head was near this big
upholstered piece, he says, and the room If you have space, consider setting up a little coffee or tea station in your bedroom, like youd find in a hotel room. On a Saturday morning,

have had more time.


Willoughby said he hasnt seen hard evidence from the citys hired geotechnician
proving the apartments were at risk.
He also contends a shocking drone video
that went viral after being published on
YouTube shows only a portion of the cliff
falling to the ocean primarily below the
already shuttered 320 Esplanade Ave.
Willoughby said he believes just a few units
at 310 could have been vacated while allowing the others to remain.
The appeal claims Tong should have been
given time to have a second opinion and an
engineering professor from the University
of California at Berkeley recently visited and
stated he thought the bluffs were not in imminent danger.
The city basically doesnt have the
authority to do that (yellow-tag the premises) until they give Millard Tong notice that
they believe there is a problem. But to unilaterally, without any rebuttal or to allow
Tong to bring in another geotech with the
same experience and take a look at this and
make a decision, I think the city is wrong and
its what they call an illegal condemnation,
Willoughby said.
Now, the citys Emergency Preparedness
and Safety Commission will host a hearing
on the appeal Feb. 17.

City Manager Lorie Tinfow said the city


regularly gave residents and Tong warning
they may be required to evacuate and this
years harsh winter storms were so impactful,
the property will likely need to eventually be
demolished.
Weve been watching that property for
years. In January, when we saw the storms
were hitting us very hard, we ramped that up
and started visiting the property daily. We
called and made contact with all of the tenants several weeks before we actually yellowtagged it, Tinfow said. Staff was out there
twice a day including the weekends, because
we were so worried about how fast it was deteriorating.
Tinfow said Tong has had the ability since
after the storms in 2010 to reinforce the
cliffs edge with riprap, as several neighboring property owners have done. Because
Tong failed to protect the building and
neglecting the property at 320 Esplanade
Ave., Tinfow said the city was prompted to
file charges against him hes now facing
20 misdemeanor counts.
Willoughby said Tong has been dealt an
unfortunate blow having his investment in
the properties been rendered nearly valueless
since the city deemed the apartments uninhabitable. Several residents have signed on
to the appeal and Willoughby said he doubts

the citys hired geotechnician was able to


access critical parts of the property to perform a full inspection.
Still, Willoughby said hed accept the
property is unsafe if provided hard evidence.
Tinfow said the city has hired an expert
consultant who advised the property, which
sits just a few feet from the cliffs edge, was
at risk. Furthermore, there are broader safety
concerns in permitting the properties to
remain and the city has received an estimate
that it would cost $400,000 to demolish the
property. Another building at 330 Esplanade
Ave. is owned by another company, which
has already agreed to pay for it to be torn
down. Unfortunately, it appears the city may
have to find the funds to tear down Tongs
buildings, Tinfow said.
Without elaborating on what the citys
expert found, Tinfow said shes confident
officials made the right call by erring on the
side of caution and is sympathetic to the residents who had to abandon their homes.
Weve been relying on our expert.
Were erring on the side of, one, giving folks
a chance to get their belongings out and then
two, protecting the public safety, Tinfow
said. While we know it must have felt very
sudden for the tenants, we really were making
sure we did everything we could to make that
transition happen and we understand the
adjustment was difficult.

now, Tedesco said.


But outside of the land acquisitions and
conservation easements POST seeks to gain
over the next decade, officials are hopeful
this program will allow farmers to either
stay in business or provide opportunities for
younger generations to pick up the trade.
POST will work to either lease the land to
farmers at an affordable rate or sell it to agricultural businesses for row crops such as
fruit and vegetables, but primarily non-grazing purposes, Tedesco said.
Weve done a lot of work on farms over
the last 10 years and weve come to really
appreciate that theyre such an important
piece of the main conservation picture. And
theyre still really dramatically threatened
both by potential development and the fact
that land is so expensive here. Farmers
cant afford to farm. And yet we have such
amazing soil and theres demand, Tedesco
said.
In POSTs nearly 40-year history of purchasing land, it typically transitions it to
another public agency. However, through
this new initiative, Tedesco said farmers are
the best people to work with as they are
experienced and have a genuine interest in
keeping these habitats thriving.

This model has already successfully supported several farmers on the coast in recent
years, including David Lea with Cabrillo
Farms and Ryan Casey with Blue House
Farms.
As a fourth generation farmer, Leas family has had nearly a dozen landlords. Since
POST stepped in and purchased the farm and
surrounding acreage that was sought for redevelopment, the Lea family now owns their
land for the first time in nearly 100 years,
Tedesco said.
Casey, who first became interested in agriculture while studying at University of
California at Santa Cruz, is an excellent
example of how POST is enabling a younger
generation of farmers to get started. Casey,
an organic farmer whose operation includes
nearly 50 different crops, recently took over
a 74-acre farm in San Gregorio that POST
purchased.
POST has been great to work with, said
Casey, 39. I think farming inherently is a
difficult business to do regardless of whether
youre starting or where youre at. I think
POST has been significant in that they have
give me access to a farming region that is
historically difficult to get into. There
arent a whole lot of younger generation

farmers that are taking it on out there, so the


coastside is really in need of new growers to
take on acreage as older farmers are retiring
and moving on.
Supervisor Don Horsley said some of
these farm families that previously rented
faced regular uncertainty as to whether their
livelihoods would be uprooted in place of
redevelopments like a golf course or housing. Now, POST is helping keep farmers
working and preserving land in perpetuity.
The lands on the coastside are really
influenced by Silicon Valley properties and
as we know, prices have really accelerated in
the last few years and the same thing is happening on the coastside. So for a family
farm, its increasingly difficult to hang on to
land and probably even enticing to sell it for
development purposes, Horsley said.
Thats what this Farmland Futures Initiative
is all about. If a farm family is older and
going to divest themselves from their land,
is there a young person willing to come in
and take it over? The only way theyre going
to be able to do that is for an organization
like POST to come in.

Plants fend off cold, to a point


By Lee Reich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Since they cant don gloves and a


scarf or shiver to keep warm, its a wonder that trees, vines and shrubs dont
freeze to death in winter.
Sometimes, of course, they do. But
usually that happens to garden and landscape plants pushed to their cold limits,
not to naturally cold-hardy plants or
plants in their native habitats.
Think about it: Water freezes at 32
degrees Fahrenheit not a particularly
cold temperature for a winter night
and plants contain an abundance of
water. Water expands when it freezes, so
you can imagine the havoc that would be
wreaked if water-filled plant cells froze
and burst. But adapted trees, vines and
shrubs survive temperatures well below
freezing each winter, and those of boreal regions live where temperatures dip
below even minus 150 degrees.

SUPERCOOL PLANTS
Water, whether in a plant cell or a

glass, does not necessarily freeze as


soon as the temperature drops to 32
degrees. To freeze, water molecules need
something to group around to form ice
crystals, a so-called nucleating agent.
Without it, water will supercool,
remaining liquid down to about minus
40 degrees.
All sorts of things can serve as nucleating agents bacteria, for instance.

depression from high school chemistry: Basically, whenever you dissolve something in water, you lower
the resulting solutions freezing point.
So as water is drawn out of the liquid of
plant cells, the liquid within the cells
becomes more and more concentrated
in whatever was dissolved in it. As a
result, the temperature at which the cellular liquid freezes keeps dropping.

MORE WAYS PLANTS DEAL


WITH FREEZING TEMPERATURES

A GARDENERS ROLE

Plants have another trick for dealing


with the cold: letting water freeze only
outside their cells, where the ice doesnt do damage. Cell membranes are permeable to water, so as temperatures
drop ice crystals that form outside
plant cells grow with the water they
draw out of the cells. With increasing
cold, a plant becomes threatened more
by dehydration than by freezing.
Cell sap is not pure water; in it are
dissolved various substances. You may
recall something called freezing-point

So the plant is not a passive player


in this cold story. In preparing for
cold, cell walls strengthen, cell sap
becomes more sugary and the permeability of cells to water is altered.
Heres where we gardeners can step in:
Light supplies the energy that plants
need to prepare for cold, so we can
make sure to site and prune plants so
they get adequate light. Fruits are energy sinks, so we can also make sure not
to let a plant bear too heavy a crop of Swaddling a plant for winter, as is often done with roses, does
fruit, especially if the plant is border- nothing for its appearance but does give it a few extra degrees

TREES
Continued from page 1
existing trees, according to city
arborist Bob Disco, which will ultimately lead to their demise.
As the diseased trees die over the
coming years, officials have recommended removing them and replanting
redspire pear trees in their place, as the
proposed species is expected to be
immune to the blight, said Disco.
Disco said the fire blight is pervasive among many of the existing pear
trees, and the communicable disease
can be challenging to treat.
They are pretty much all infected
with it, and once a tree has it, it is very
hard to get rid of, said Disco. The
drought didnt help the situation
either, in fact, it probably sped up the
process.
Merchants in the Broadway Business
Improvement Districts Board of
Directors consented to the tree replacement project, which must still work its
way through the city approval
process, said Parks and Recreation
Director Margaret Glomstad.
Should the project ultimately be
approved by the City Council, the tree
replacement would occur gradually,
said Glomstad, as officials are sensitive to changing the aesthetics of the
street.
We want a smooth transition, said
Glomstad.
Disco said though the existing
infected trees are slowly dying, they
pose no potential safety threat to

SECURITY
Continued from page 1
that marred a notable soccer match
between the French and German
national teams, officials pledged a
commitment to stay vigilant and
ensure similar tragedy will not occur
while the Super Bowl is hosted Sunday,
Feb. 7 at Levis Stadium in Santa
Clara.
Jeh Johnson said he has worked
closely with his French counterparts
to apply lessons from the Paris attack,
which left 130 dead, to offer improved
security locally.
We learn from events of the past to
protect against threats of the future,
said Jeh Johnson.
The security presence in downtown
San Francisco, near the Moscone
Center at the intersection of Howard
and Fourth streets, is pervasive and
easily identified as heavily armed
guards stand posted near the gateway
of Super Bowl City, where many of the
fan festivities are held.
Suhr said a goal of the San Francisco
Police Department is to weave law

pedestrians on Broadway.
One pear tree has already been
replaced, said Disco, and officials are
monitoring its health through the
spring before planting any more.
John Kevranian, president of the
Broadway Business Improvement
District, expressed his support for the
project.
Its sad these beautiful mature trees
have to go, but they are diseased, he
said. I dont think we have any
choice right now but to slowly replace
them.
Should the replacement ultimately
be approved by officials, Disco said he
expects the project to take between
three to five years to complete.
Its a long process, said Disco.
The pear trees are not the only ones
slated to be replaced though, as the carrotwood trees planted at the street corners near intersections of Broadway
are also set be removed and swapped
out with crape myrtle trees.
Trucks accessing Highway 101 frequently hit the branches of the carrotwood trees, said Disco, and the foliage
has been known to impair the vision
of other drivers.
To reduce the chance for conflict
between cars and pedestrians, Disco
said officials recommended planting
the myrtles, which are not as wide and
should be less of a visual distraction to
drivers.
Myrtle trees offer an additional
bonus of blooming a fuschia flower
which will bring some welcome color
to Broadway, said Disco.
Kevranian shared his admiration for
the aesthetic improvements which the

myrtle trees could add.


Its a beautiful color, Kevranian
said, of the myrtle flower.
Lights are also slated to installed at
the trunk of the trees in the well of
each planting site, to help illuminate a
street which otherwise can be dimly
lit, said Kevranian.
Broadway is very dark at night, he
said. Its a safety hazard in my opinion. Its not inviting. Well lights on
each tree will illuminate the tree and
give extra lighting for the sidewalk.
For years, magnolia trees lined the
streets of Broadway, but their roots
caused significant damage to the sidewalks and were ultimately replaced
with the aristocrat pear trees.
Disco said the redspire pear trees
also have deep roots that are unlikely
to harm the sidewalk, which was a quality considered by officials when
selecting an alternative species.
Glomstad said though city experts
and merchants are comfortable with
the proposed replacement project, she
was reluctant to anticipate whether it
would come to fruition, noting the
pending approval of city officials.
Well see what happens, she said,
of the upcoming Beautification
Committee meeting.
Kevranian though was willing to go
out on a limb and say the project would
be a major upgrade for Broadway.
I think its a good idea to do it, he
said. You can tell the trees are dying,
its obvious.
The Beautification Commission
meets 6:30 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 4 in
the recreation center, 850 Burlingame
Ave.

enforcement officers into the fabric of


the Bay Area community so revelers
enjoying the amenities feel secure.
We just want to become a part of the
landscape, he said.
Beyond the uniformed law enforcement officials dotting the streets to
control traffic and monitor crowds,
among other efforts, David Johnson
said there is a significant amount of
officers working undercover to fight
crime as well.
He said a vast majority of the
FBIs efforts will not be visible to
most, but the public can rest assured
knowing federal officials are working
to ensure their safety.
Beyond the boots on the ground of
law enforcement officers in San
Francisco and Santa Clara, agencies
are collaborating to provide heightened security at the Bay Areas airport,
rail lines, sea ports and other forms of
public transportation as well, said Jeh
Johnson.
Special teams focusing on counterterrorism, cybersecurity, immigration
control, explosives detection, human
trafficking and other detailed efforts
have been brought into the Bay Area
for Super Bowl week as well, according
to a media guide.

Suhr said to date few arrests have


been made in San Francisco, where a
lions share of the fans have been partying over the past few days, and most
of the law enforcement has been
focused on those having too much
fun.
Beyond the efforts to ensure the tens
of thousands who came to the Bay Area
are safe from the threat of violence,
smaller scale crime prevention efforts
are underway to combat the forgery,
theft and fraud which frequently plague
major sporting events, said Jeffrey
Miller, senior vice president of security for the NFL.
Though officers are working to combat the purchase and sale of false Super
Bowl tickets, Miller noted much of the
onus to protect against scams falls on
the customers who may be seeking
seats to the game on the secondary
market.
Security at Levis Stadium has been
ramped up as well, said Miller, as crews
prepare to open the gates for fans at 11
a.m. on game day.
The NFL has issued an extensive list
of items which will not be allowed
inside the stadium, including food,
beverages, footballs, noise makers,
umbrellas, camcorders, banners and
strollers.
Fans are encouraged to take
public transportation to the
game rather than attempt to
brave the roads expected to be
packed with traffic.
Though a variety of agencies have come together to
fight crime, officials said they
still will lean heavily on public input to ensure no potentially suspicious behavior
goes undetected.
If you see something, say
something, permeated discussions of crime prevention,
as local and federal officials
implored members of the community to report any activity
considered out of the ordinary.
Jeh Johnson said the combined efforts of a considerable
law enforcement presence and
an involved public will work
to ensure the focus of game
day is action on the gridiron.
We are confident we are
going to have a safe and secure
Super Bowl, he said.

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Hanford N. Lockwood. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by
Barry B. Lockwood in the Superior Court

The petition requests the decedent swill
and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examiniation in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: FEB 19, 2016 at
9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the
Calilfornia Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under sectioin
9052 of the Callifornia Probate
Code.Other California statutes and legal
authority may affect your rights as a
creditor. You may want to consult with an
attorney knowledgable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
