Bay Area has first storm of new year
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Halfway through the rainy season, the
Bay Area finally saw a steady stream of
rainfall that prompted high-wind advi-
sories, flash flood warnings to the north,
and law enforcement urging drivers to take
extra precautions.
Heavy rains and strong winds touched
down Monday with a lighter drizzle expect-
ed into Tuesday. It’s the strongest storm the
Bay Area has experienced this winter, but it
pales in comparison to last season’s
drought-buster, according to the National
Weather Service.
The first significant storm of 2018
immediately followed a lackluster close to
2017.
“This is a very helpful storm system to
help remove some of the deficit we
absorbed in a very dry December,” said
National Weather Service Meteorologist
Scott Rowe. “December is supposed to be a
wet month, and we dug ourselves into quite
a hole by missing out on that precipita-
tion.”
California’s snowpack is a dismal 22 per-
cent of normal for this time of year. If
another storm doesn’t blanket the moun-
tains with more snow before April 1, the
state will then be at just 9 percent of normal
after what’s typically the wet season, Rowe
explained.
California is less than a year out from
Gov. Jerry Brown declaring an end to the
statewide drought in April 2017. The multi-
year dry spell prompted the first mandatory
cutbacks in California’s history, rules that
were lifted following a wet and snowy
2016-17 season.
While off to a dry start, Rowe cautioned
against expectations as there’s still time
left in the rainy season and they can only
forecast so far.
“This is only one storm system that we’re
seeing. We can’t make any inferences based

on the events of today,” Rowe said Monday,
noting people are advised to remain pre-
pared as flooding and other storm-related
impacts can strike quickly. “We still have a
long winter ahead of us, plenty of time to
make up for December’s deficit. But it’s just
a little hard to tell beyond seven days what
the weather will be like.”
In the Bay Area, the most amount of rain-
fall was experienced in high elevation areas
including Kentfield in Marin County with
2.72 inches in a 24-hour period ending 4
p.m. Monday and Big Sur in Monterey
County with 2.95 inches. But San Mateo
County also received its fair share of down-
pour, according to the National Weather
Service.
By 6 p.m., within 24 hours, 1.8 inches
were clocked in at the San Francisco
International Airport, which most accurate-
ly measures San Mateo County. Redwood
City saw 1.34 inches, while the Half Moon
Bay experienced 1.64 inches in a 24-hour
period, according to the National Weather
Service.
Downtown San Francisco saw 2.02 inch-
es, which marked the second wettest day in
the big city since January 2013, Rowe said.
Flash flood warnings were in place for
mountains in the North Bay and debris
flows were initially feared in areas devastat-
ed by the recent wildfires. But as of 6 p.m.
conditions remained stable and fears
seemed to be averted. A wind advisory was
in effect for much of the Bay Area through
Tuesday morning, although even the worst
of Monday proved relatively moderate,
according to the National Weather Service.
A weather station at Mount Diablo in
Contra Costa County clocked in the
strongest winds in the Bay Area with gusts
up to 42 mph, as did another station in a
high elevation area along the Los Gatos
Mountains. Hills in the North Bay saw
gusts of 30 mph to 40 mph. The windiest
spot in San Mateo County was about 1,000
feet above sea level along the Spring Valley
REAL EST
ESTATE

ATE

LITIGATION
Ridge where 30 mph gusts were reported.
Winds remained relatively calm at SFO,
Rowe said.
Weather-related road conditions disrupted
local highways for parts of Monday.
Flooding occurred at two freeway off-ramps
in Oakland, and in San Francisco the on-
ramp from Sixth Street to Interstate 280
was flooded earlier in the day, according to
California Highway Patrol.
Potholes worsening under heavy rains
also prompted Caltrans to perform urgent
repairs during evening rush hour to parts of
Highway 101 near Palo Alto’s Embarcadero
Road exit, said CHP Officer Art Montiel. An
investigation is also underway into the
death of a man who crashed his Fiat 500
while driving east along Page Mill Road
during a solo-vehicle accident before noon
Monday, Montiel said.
Typically, calls for the CHP’s help nearly
double when it rains and law enforcement
urged people to drivers to heed extra cau-
tion. Turning on headlights and taillights
even during daytime hours is recommended.
Drivers are also advised to drive slower and
leave early so they’re not rushing on
stormy roads, Montiel said.
“We ask the public to take a little extra
precaution,” Montiel said. “Drive carefully,
get home safely.”

Tire slashing spree prompts investigation
San Mateo neighborhood with parking-permit program targeted
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Mateo police are working to
identify a vandalism suspect who
brazenly slashed tires on 19 vehicles
early Sunday morning in a neighbor-
hood that recently enacted rules on
who is allowed to park overnight.
The string of crimes took place on
the 500 block of Edinburgh Street
around 6:30 a.m. Jan. 7 in an area near
the border of the Aragon and Baywood
neighborhoods. Authorities were first
called around 9 a.m. and developed a
description of a suspect, said police
Sgt. Amanda Von Glahn.
A total of 19 vehicles were vandal-
ized, with the majority having both
the driver’s and passenger’s side tires
slashed. The cars belonged to 11 differ-
ent owners with damages ranging from
about $300 to $600, Von Glahn said.
Some were parked in driveways while
others were on the street when the sus-
pect caused thousands of dollars worth
of damage, according to police.

Oprah has Dems buzzing about possible 2020 run
By Thomas Beaumont

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DES MOINES, Iowa — Oprah
Winfrey’s impassioned call for “a
brighter morning even in our darkest
nights” at the Golden Globes has
Democratic Party activists buzzing
about the media superstar and the 2020
presidential race — even if it’s only a
fantasy.
Even so, for Democrats in early vot-
ing states, and perhaps for a public that
largely disapproves of President
Donald Trump’s job performance, the
notion of a popular media figure as a
presidential candidate is not as strange
as it once seemed, given the New York
real estate mogul and reality TV star
now in the White House.
“Look, it’s ridiculous — and I get
that,” said Brad Anderson, Barack
Obama’s 2012 Iowa campaign director.
While he supports the idea of Winfrey
running, it would also punctuate how

a residential parking permit program,
which Von Glahn noted are generally
enacted in neighborhoods with park-
ing problems. The programs are typi-
cally implemented at the behest of
neighbors. Those who reside in areas
with programs can apply for a free
parking permit while others are limit-
ed to staying no more than two hours.
It was not clear whether the recent
crimes were related to the change, but
police are considering the possibility,
she said.
Now, authorities are asking the pub-
lic to help them identify the person
responsible for the crime spree and
urging those with surveillance footage
to come forward.
“We’re reaching out for the commu-
nity’s help,” Von Glahn said. “If [any-
one] has surveillance cameras within

Winfrey’s speech

But it was her exhortation of the

day “when nobody has to say ‘me too’

The suspect is described as a man of
unknown race, with a tall, slim build.
He was last seen wearing light colored
pants, a light colored hooded jacket,
black gloves and black shoes.
The suspect could be facing arrest for
numerous misdemeanor and felony
vandalism charges.
The victim’s vehicles were all parked
on the 500 block of Edinburgh Street,
but authorities are looking for footage
from any home in the area that may
have caught the suspect, she said.
While police are not jumping to con-
clusions, the unusual incident begs the
question of what prompted the string
of crimes in a confined area.
“The residents on this block appear
to have been targeted but we’re still
investigating the possible motive at
this time, ” Von Glahn said. “We
haven’t seen a vandalism incident sim-
ilar to this in quite some time.”

Hillary Clinton’s 2008 New Hampshire
presidential primary campaign.
Trump’s job approval rating sat at
just 32 percent in December, according
to an Associated Press-NORC poll. And
though polls show his approval up
slightly since, Trump is the least pop-
ular first-year president on record. He
has also been accused by multiple
women of sexual misconduct, though
he has vehemently denied the allega-
tions.
Winfrey, in September and October,
publicly dismissed the notion of seek-
ing the nation’s highest office, though
she noted that Trump’s victory made
her rethink the requirements of the
office.
A representative for Winfrey did not
reply to a request Monday for comment
from the Associated Press. Winfrey’s
longtime partner, Stedman Graham,
told the Los Angeles Times that “it’s up
to the people” whether she will be pres-
ident, adding, “She would absolutely do

SAN FRANCISCO — The Mexican man acquitted of mur-

debate has been denied release from jail
pending trial on federal gun charges.
Jose Ines Garcia Zarate appeared in fed-

possession charges, which were filed
after a San Francisco jury acquitted him
of murder for the July 2015 fatal shoot-

Jose Zarate combined 17 years in U.S. prisons for
three illegal re-entry convictions before
the shooting.
Garcia Zarate says he found the gun that killed Steinle
under a seat on a San Francisco pier. He says it accidentally
fired when he picked it up.
He was transferred from San Francisco jail to federal cus-
tody over the weekend.
Man behind bars after attempted burglary
A Redwood City man arrested Friday for allegedly trying
to break into an empty home being used as an Airbnb rental
on Redwood City’s Eighth Avenue pleaded not guilty to
attempted residential burglary Monday, according to the
San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office.
Pita Tavake, 43, is also being charged with being under
the influence of a stimulant after he allegedly tried to kick
through the front door of the home Friday. Neighbors who
heard Tavake yelling and saw him outside the vacant house,
which was being used as an Airbnb rental, called police,
according to prosecutors.
When police officers arrived at the scene, they allegedly
found Tavake near the home and wearing shoes that matched
a footprint on the door, according to prosecutors.
Tavake remains in custody on $125,000 bail and will
next appear in court Jan. 19 for preliminary hearing,
according to prosecutors.
Shoplifter arrest leads to
recovery of other stolen property
The arrest of a San Francisco man for shoplifting led to
the recovery of stolen property from two other burglaries in
San Francisco on Saturday night.
At about 11:20 p.m., officers responded to a call at the
Safeway in the Fairmont Shopping Center on Hickey
Boulevard on report of a shoplifting in progress. When
they arrived, a store employee pointed out someone who
had just left without paying.
Clair Quinnine, 47, was standing next to a white van
when police located and detained him. After searching his
van, officers found the un-bagged groceries, diapers and
meat he had just stolen, as well as property that was stolen
from two separate burglaries in San Francisco.
Police also found a glass smoking pipe and a controlled
substance in the van.
Quinnine was booked into San Mateo County Jail on sus-
picion of possession of a controlled substance, possession
of paraphernalia, petty theft, possession of stolen proper-
ty, misappropriation of property and conspiracy.

Around the nation

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Connecting with
rural Americans, President Donald Trump on
Monday hailed his tax overhaul as a victory
for family farmers and pitched his vision to
expand access to broadband internet, a cor-
nerstone of economic development in the
nation’s heartland.
“Those towers are going to go up and you’re
going to have great, great broadband,” Trump
told the annual convention of the American
Farm Bureau Federation.
“Farm country is God’s country,” he
declared.
Trump became the first president in a quar-
ter-century to address the federation’s conven-
tion, using the trip to Nashville as a backdrop
for a White House report that included pro-
posals to stimulate a segment of the national
economy that has lagged behind others. His
Southern swing also included a stop in
Atlanta for the national college football
championship game.
Joined by Agriculture Secretary Sonny
Perdue, Senate Agriculture Committee
Chairman Pat Roberts, R-Kan., and a group of
Tennessee lawmakers, Trump said most of the
benefits of the tax legislation are “going to
working families, small businesses, and who
— the family farmer.”

The president warned against voting for
Democrats in this November’s midterm elec-
tions, saying they would undo the tax bill. “If
the Democrats ever had the chance, the first
thing they would do is get rid of it and raise up
your taxes,” Trump said.
Trump also highlighted the doubling of the
threshold for the estate tax — earning a stand-
ing ovation from the audience— and the abil-
ity for companies to immediately write off the
full cost of new equipment. He said that “in
every decision we make, we are honoring
America’s proud farming legacy.”
Central to the report is the assessment that
the “provider for an equalization among rural
America is connectivity; that high-speed
internet should remain a high priority for the
administration,” said Ray Starling, the spe-
cial assistant to the president for agriculture,
trade and food assistance.

Tillerson tells AP Cuba still
risky; FBI doubts sonic attack
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The United States would
be “putting people intentionally in harm’s
way” if it sent diplomats back to Cuba,
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson says in an
Associated Press interview, even as a new FBI
report casts doubt on the initial theory that
Americans there have been hit by “sonic
attacks.” Following months of investigation
and four FBI trips to Havana, an interim
report from the bureau’s Operational
Technology Division says the probe has
uncovered no evidence that sound waves could
have damaged the Americans’ health, the AP
has learned. The report, dated Jan. 4, doesn’t
address other theories and says the FBI will
keep investigating until it can show there’s
been no intentional harm.
Tillerson said he’s not convinced that what
he calls the “deliberate attacks” are over. He
defended his September decision to order most
U.S. personnel and their relatives to leave
Cuba and said he won’t reverse course until
Cuba’s government assures they’ll be safe.
“I’d be intentionally putting them back in
harm’s way. Why in the world would I do that

Foundation celebrates 35
years of service to the San
Carlos public schools, we’ve had the
privilege of reflecting on more than
three decades of people and stories
which profoundly illustrate the his-
toric commitment San Carlos has to
its schools. Our strong community
values and support of public education
across generations has ensured that
San Carlos public schools remain the
core of our city’s economic vitality.
We regularly hear that new residents
choose San Carlos “for the schools.”
What these new residents often don’t
realize is that despite our high proper-
ty values, Proposition 13 has kept
the San Carlos Elementary School
District among the lowest in funding
levels compared to surrounding dis-
tricts. But as we look back at 35 years
of the San Carlos Education
Foundation, we are heartened by the
fact that since the legislation was
enacted in 1978, San Carlos citizens
have always heeded the call to protect
public school funding.
Not much has changed with regard
to California school funding since
SCEF was founded in 1982. Since its
inception, Proposition 13 has pro-
foundly affected the collection and
distribution of property tax revenue
available for public schools and
moved control of school funding from
local districts to the state. The result
has been a state that was once fifth in

with school districts cutting the
basics and leaving communities to
“self-fund” to meet basic student
needs.

Stocks erase morning losses
By Stan Choe
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The stock mar-
ket’s perfect start to the year
rolled on, and the Standard &
Poor’s 500 index shook off a bit
of weakness on Monday to tick
further into record territory.
Stocks had dipped in early trad-
ing, and the S&P 500 appeared to
be on pace for its first down day of
the year. But accelerating gains
for dividend-paying and technolo-
gy stocks helped offset losses in
the health care industry, and the
S&P 500 eked out a fifth straight
gain. Other U.S. indexes edged
higher or held close to their record
levels.
“We’re getting a bit tired hear-
ing ourselves talking about the
solid economic backdrop and
strong earnings growth, but that
is the backdrop,” said Jon Adams,
senior investment strategist for
BMO Global Asset Management.
He is optimistic that stocks can
continue to rise from their record

GoPro, which plunged after it said
its revenue fell sharply last quar-

prices on cameras to drive more
sales, and it reported preliminary
fourth-quarter revenue that fell far

it will cut more than 20 percent of
its workforce.

Olympic golds dream a reality Continued from page 11

By Eric Willemsen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Four years ago Mikaela Shiffrin had a
“crazy” dream of winning five gold medals
at the 2018 Olympics. That aim is seeming
less and less unrealistic.
Just after becoming the youngest ever
Olympic slalom champion at the Sochi
Games, the then 18-year-old Shiffrin
dreamed aloud “of the next Olympics (and)
winning five gold medals.”
Right away she admitted her ambition
“sounds really crazy.”
However, less than five weeks ahead of
the Pyeongchang Olympics, that number
seems more obtainable than ever before.
Shiffrin probably won’t win that handful
of gold medals, but mainly because she is
unlikely to enter five different events in
South Korea.
She will only decide on short notice
which events she is going to enter at the
Olympics.
Unlike at previous
games, this time the
technical races of GS and
slalom are the first
events on the women’s
Alpine Olympic sched-
ule, enabling Shiffrin to
compete in her core disci-
Mikaela Shiffrin plines before making up
her mind on possible
starts in the speed events of downhill and
super-G, and the concluding combined and
team events.
Developed into a potential winner of
every race she competes in, and even tri-
umphing for the first time in a downhill in
December, Shiffrin has been dominating the
Alpine skiing World Cup for months.
Her win in a slalom in Slovenia on
Sunday was her ninth of the season, and

“I wasn’t really an athletic person,”
Badajos-Zamora said. “I loved running and
staying active but not really playing sports.”
While still in middle school, though, her
friend Maria Cuevas urged her to give wrestling
a try. Badajos-Zamora wasn’t too keen on the
idea. Not that she wasn’t a tough kid; she said
she contemplated playing football as a fresh-
man — like current wrestling teammate Nataly
Gijon, who played junior-varsity football this
season — but Badajos-Zamora opted against it
because she was something of a flyweight.
Flyweights have their own weight classes
in wrestling though. So, Badajos-Zamora
tagged along with Cuevas after all. Now, the
two are fronting a Half Moon Bay team that
no other girls’ wrestling team has done in
program history.
In addition to Badajos-Zamora’s champi-
onship in Cupertino, Cuevas (189s) and
Daniela Corona (143s) also took home gold
medals to lead the Lady Cougars to a second-
Peninsula Invitational. Then, Saturday,
many of the first-string Cougars rested while
the team’s depth proved valuable with a first-
place team win at the Mark Madden Wrestling
Tournament at Sequoia High School.
“Our girls are on a roll this season,” Temko
said. “They’re super committed in the room,
they work super hard … they have good cama-
raderie amongst each other. So it’s great to see.”
Now, Badajos-Zamora is looking at the long-
term. She may not have been certain wrestling
was the right path when she started, but now
she has her sights set on cracking the top 10 in
the CCS rankings this season — that will prob-
ably happen this week after her win over
Ruelas, who is ranked No. 5 in 121s — and also
is entertaining the idea of wrestling in college.
“I feel pretty good about the decision I
made, ” Badajos-Zamora said. “I think I
might keep wrestling after I graduate high
school. … At first I didn’t want to wrestle
after high school but then I started looking
at some colleges, and some girls who kept
wrestling after high school, and they were
able to go pretty far with it.”

Curry wants stake in
hometown Panthers
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND — As a longtime fan
of the Carolina Panthers, Stephen
Curry is absolutely interested in
having an ownership stake in the
team.
He reminds everyone his day job
is as a star of the Golden State
Warriors , so he wouldn’t be the
kind of hands-on owner flying
cross-country each week to attend
major meetings. But the two-time
MVP has people helping him
explore options to buy into the
NFL franchise, which Jerry
Richardson announced he would
sell while he is under investiga-
tion for sexual and racial miscon-
duct in the workplace.
“It’s a pretty interesting oppor-
tunity,” Curry said after Monday’s
shootaround. “I’ve had conversa-
tions with plenty of people about
the right way to go about it and
kind of the different approaches I
could personally take. Obviously,
I have a day job but I’ve got people
that are plugged in and trying to
see how to make that happen. I’ve
had nothing really to say about it
besides that I’m very interested
and very willing to do what it takes
to make that happen.”
In fact, he has spoken to hip hop
mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs about
the idea of them going in on the
team together. Last summer, Curry
signed a $201 million, five-year
contract with the Warriors. He has
helped Golden State win champi-
onships in two of the past three
seasons, last year and in 2015 with
a runner-up finish to LeBron James
and Cleveland in ‘16.
Curry called it “pretty special” to
see Combs’ interest, saying, “he’s
a phenomenal business man and a
guy that’s turned nothing into a lot
and done an amazing job of any-
thing he wants to go after, his
track record’s pretty strong in
making that happen.”
The Panthers have been on
Diddy’s radar for some time and
Curry appreciates his connection
to Charlotte. While Curry has
never met unemployed, civil
activist quarterback Colin
Kaepernick, there has already been
talk of him being part of it.
Curry said “it’s still early” in the
ownership exploration process.
KYLE TERADA/USA TODAY SPORTS

“I’m a fan first and foremost and
I’ve been a fan since I was, what, 7
when they showed up in Charlotte,
so to be able to be a part of some-
thing that represents Charlotte so
well in my hometown, I know a lot
of the guys that play for the team
and what they represent,” said
Curry, who on Monday was named
Western Conference Player of the
Week. “... Mainly from it being the
team that represents Charlotte on
the national scale and something
that I could plug into my home-
town vibe is a huge part of it.”
Bears hire K.C. assistant
Nagy as new head coach
By Andrew Seligman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAKE FOREST, Ill. — The
Chicago Bears were looking for a
coach to get the most out of quar-
terback Mitchell Trubisky and
help a founding NFL franchise
emerge from one of its worst runs.
They believe Matt Nagy is the
right man.
The Bears hired Kansas City’s
offensive coordi-
nator as their
16th head coach
Monday, hoping
he can develop
their promising
quarterback and
turn around a
struggling team.
The Bears
Matt Nagy
announced the
move a week after firing coach John
Fox, who went 14-34 in three sea-
sons for a .292 winning percentage
that is the second-lowest in team his-
tory. Chicago was 5-11 this season
and hasn’t finished above .500 since
letting Lovie Smith go following a
10-6 finish in 2012, two years after
its most recent visit to the playoffs.
Arena Football League will be try-
ing to develop Trubisky, last
year’s No. 2 overall draft pick.
“He’s a good football coach, first
of all,” Reid said. “I appreciate the
way he comes to work and the attitude
he brings. He puts his own flare on
things. I think that’s important to
know. Everybody does it their way.”
Nagy coached in high school and
was still working in real estate when
he served as a coaching intern with
the Eagles during training camp in
2008 and 2009. He got a big break,
though it came with a pay cut, when
he took the job as a coaching assis-
tant during the 2010 season.
Bears general manager Ryan
Pace has plenty riding on him.
Pace put his reputation on the line
when he traded up a spot with San
Francisco to draft Trubisky even
though he made just 13 college
starts at North Carolina. It’s up to
Nagy to help polish a quarterback
who showed some promise with his
strong arm and quickness after he
took over for Mike Glennon.
If Trubisky succeeds, there’s a
good chance the Bears start win-
ning. That would likely mean a
long future in Chicago for Pace,
who recently got a contract exten-

men’s contingent and the Shibutanis ice danc-
ing their way to Pyeongchang. A team medal
is not out of reach, either.
For now, the winners at nationals are bask-
ing in the glow of that achievement rather
than considering their chances under the
scorching spotlight of an Olympic Games.
“I know you hear it all the time and it’s a
cliche,” Chen says, “but it truly has to be
one step at a time. The Olympics are that
next step now.”
Brian Boitano, the 1988 Olympic cham-
pions, expects that next step for Chen to be
a huge leap.
“This is a kid who can step up to the plate,”
Boitano says, “and knock it out of the parkl”
For all three men and two of the women in
singles, it’s something very new to go to the
Olympics. Only women’s runner-up Mirai
Nagasu has been to an Olympics, placing
fourth in 2010 in Vancouver.
Pairs champions Alexa Scimeca Knierim
and Chris Knierim also head to their first
games. The Shibutanis were in Sochi, finish-
ing ninth, one spot behind Madison Chock
and Evan Bates. The other ice dance duo,
Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue, are
Olympic newbies, but U.S. champs.
“The last two competitions were very
intense,” Hubbell said of the Grand Prix Final
and nationals. “I think we all know the ones
who skate best on that day is going to win, we
are that close to each other.
Men
Chen is the clubhouse leader, if you will,
after acing his first 18. Yes, there are holes in
his program, particularly the triple axel that
he popped in Saturday’s free skate. But there

Figure Skating Championships at SAP Center.
also are five quads, improved artistry — if
viewers stop concentrating on his rotations
in the air, look and listen for Chen’s connec-
tion with his music — and a track record for an
18-year-old man that is almost unparalleled.
Adam Rippon, at 28 the veteran of the sin-
gles skaters, was added to the team at the
expense of Ross Miner after Rippon finished
fourth here. His body of work — of the three
U.S. men his program is most built on cre-
ativity and flair — earned him the spot one
year after he broke his foot.
Vincent Zhou, 17 and the youngest member
of the squad, is that rare guy who can jump
with Chen, but isn’t nearly as polished or
accomplished. His time near the top is more
likely in 2022.
Women
The heartwarming story belongs to Nagasu,
24, quite possibly the only woman who will

try a triple axel in South Korea. Her career hit
some rough patches, and when she rallied to
finish third at nationals four years ago, she
was bumped off the Olympic team by the feder-
ation’s committee in favor of Ashley Wagner.
No bumping this time after Nagasu put out a
career-best free skate.
“That’s a great story for me, because most
people have a hardship in their life and they
blame and they point fingers and they say I
was screwed over, blah, blah blah,” says
coach Tom Zakrajsek. “Mirai could have said
that, right? And she could have been bitter.
I’ve never heard her say that. And to hear that

maturity in her; even in this moment she’s
just owning it.”
Nagasu probably has the best chance to
challenge the Russians and Japanese of the
three Americans; she is more polished and
internationally known than U.S. champion
Bradie Tennell, who will be 20 at the games,
and 2017 American titlist Karen Chen.
Pairs
One pair, no medals chance.
That’s simply the state of pairs in the U.S.
It’s been that way for years as ice dance has
powered its way past pairs in the duo events.
The Knierims have been around and their free
skate, when done cleanly, can be spectacular.
But the consistency and level of difficulty of
their moves — except the quad twist that only
they do among Americans — can’t compete
with the top Europeans, Asians and Canadians.
Dance
From Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto
through Meryl Davis and Charlie White, the
United States has become a force in this disci-
pline. Maia and Alex Shibutani have followed
their dance steps and have a strong shot at a
medal despite finishing second at nationals.
Hubbell and Donohue won the U.S. crown by
.19 points, a significant upset give the
Shibutanis’ international record.
But that also stamps Hubbell/Donohue as
medals threats. The third U.S. ice dance team,
Chock and Bates, finished eighth at the Sochi
Games. They won the free dance at nationals
and were within one point of the top spot.
In front of the Americans are France’s
Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron and
Canada’s 2010 Olympic champions, Tessa
Virtue and Scott Moir, both formidable couples.

Robot duck’s aim: Helps kids with cancer via power of play
By Marina Hutchinson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — A plush, robotic duck may
soon become a fixture in the world of chil-
dren who have cancer — a social robot that
can be silly, happy, angry, scared or sick just
like them, and help them cope creatively
with their illness through the power of play.
The duck, developed by robotics expert
Aaron Horowitz and his company, is under-
going testing and is expected to be widely
distributed by the end of this year.
Horowitz said he was diagnosed as a child
with human growth development deficiency
and had to give himself daily injections for
five years. The experience, he said, made him
want to help other children with illnesses,
which led to his co-founding of the Rhode
Island-based company Sproutel with a part-
ner he met at Northwestern University.
Health care facilities from children’s hos-
pitals to nursing homes have been experi-
menting for more than a decade with the use
of robots for social companionship and emo-
tional health. Some devices look like quin-
tessential robots; others are designed as cute
animal toys, such as the duck and Paro, a
baby seal developed by Japanese researchers
to lessen a person’s stress in the same way a
real pet might. The machines’ technological
sophistication varies, but they have similar
aims: improving patients’ psychological
well-being, reminding them of health-related
tasks or teaching them about health goals.
Horowitz said the first social robot his
company launched was Jerry the Bear, an
interactive companion for kids with dia-
betes. Children take care of Jerry by feeding
him, giving him insulin and monitoring his
blood glucose levels. They also unlock a
modular diabetes curriculum geared toward
kids.
“Out of this came the idea of, ‘Why can’t
we do it for other types of kids?”’ Horowitz
said.
They turned to kids with cancer — in the
U.S., almost 11,000 get such a diagnosis
yearly, according to the American Cancer
Society.
The robot duck is modeled after the mascot
for the insurance company Aflac, which paid
for its development and is branding the duck
with its name. Aflac spokesman Jon Sullivan
said the ducks — plush on the outside with
sophisticated robotics hidden beneath a
washable cover — will be given free to chil-
dren diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. The
duck is expected to be featured Monday at the
CES gadget show in Las Vegas. Sullivan said
the company intends to continue covering
costs of the duck for kids, with no plans for
hospitals or insurers to pay for them —
unlike Jerry the Bear, which can be purchased
directly online.
Aflac and Horowitz said they make no
claims the duck has medicinal value —
instead, they want the ducks to provide com-
fort, help them cope with treatment, and dis-
tract them from what they’re going through. Health care facilities from children’s hospitals to nursing homes have been experimenting

His mom said that once Ethan receives his
own duck, it could help for years.
“It’s a way for Ethan to express himself
without actually having to say it, because

Daniels said. “He feels like he hurts all the
time.”

some from seeking help, others indicated
they simply preferred living by their own
rules. Many chose the outdoors if it means
they have some sense of independence.
But it’s a diverse group and several of
them even hold jobs but can’t afford the
area’s high cost of living, said Bob
Stebbins, leader of the Coastside Homeless
Collaborative. Stebbins is working to help
those at the encampment with the transi-
tion. With a dire lack of affordable units on
the coast, he hopes to work with govern-
ment officials to identify land or properties
that can house the homeless.
Currently, there are about 43 homeless
people on the coast, according to the most
recent data collected during the national
one-day count. While rapid rehousing of
the newly roofless is an effective method to
get and keep people off the street, many of
those living at the encampment tend to be
chronically homeless, he said.
“One size does not fit all,” Stebbins said,
noting some that have medical or psycho-
logical conditions tend to be less receptive
to help initially. “The first time you try to

going swimmingly though, as officials
have consistently opposed the installation,
primarily citing perceived incompatibility
with the surrounding neighborhood. After
more than one year of discussions, exami-
nations and appeals, members of the City
Council will have their say on the matter
during the upcoming Tuesday, Jan. 9, meet-
ing.
For his part, Bakhtiari believes the whale
mouth would feed an appetite for unique
works in an area largely starved for architec-
tural or aesthetic appeal.
“It would bring a little bit of interest and
wonder to a rather depraved intersection. I
thought it would be great for children,” said
Bakhtiari, 38, who took over control of the
gas station from his father about three years
ago.
City officials though consider those
claims a bit fishy, according to a report tak-
ing issue with a variety of details surround-
ing the proposed installation.
“Staff finds that this project is inconsis-
tent with the design and scale of the neigh-
borhood,” according to the report, which
also finds “the whale mouth is not appropri-

need to have patience. But we recognize
this and we’re spending a lot of time trying
to educate people [about available servic-
es].”
The county and nonprofits are typically
responsible for offering social services so
Half Moon Bay has begun to work more
closely to bring an influx of assistance to
those at the encampment, said Assistant
City Manager Matthew Chidester. While
mindful of the sensitivity of the situation,
he noted the community has raised con-
cerns about safety and the environment.
The encampment behind the Strawflower
Village Shopping Center at the juncture of
Highway 1 and State Route 92 abuts the
Pilarcitos Creek. A conservation easement
lines the creek and annual reports have
pointed to the encampment as a source of
major environmental degradation,
Chidester explained.
“The community is concerned about the
health and safety of the people that are liv-
ing in these encampments for a variety of
reasons; they’re also concerned about the
health and safety of the community. There’s
fire risks that take place out there, there’s
been some violence incidents here, so the
community’s concerned about themselves
and the residents and, on top of that, there’s
ate to the pedestrian realm.”
The 250-square-foot whale mouth instal-
lation is designed to welcome drivers head-
ing through the car wash, which is already
adorned with a painting of dolphins, fish
and turtles.
Following a critical review from the city’s
Architectural Review Board, the Planning
Commission denied the whale mouth’s
installation late last year, and the decision
was appealed by Bakhtiari to the City
Council.
After starting discussions with city offi-
cials over the project in 2016, Bakhtiari
indicated he is feeling exhausted with the
process.
“It’s been a nearly two-year journey of
what feels like advanced mind karate with
the city of San Bruno,” he said.
At the upcoming meeting, councilmem-
bers may override the Planning
Commission’s denial and grant the installa-
tion, or hold up the city staff’s recommen-
dation to sink the proposal.
Mayor Rico Medina indicated he will
approach the issue without bias.
“The appellant has a right to be heard,
with a clear and open mind from the council
and I believe that is what will happen. We
will have to make a decision on this, and I
want it to be fair and equitable and I want
him to know he is heard,” said Medina.

the environmental concerns, ” Chidester
said.
Last year, the City Council prioritized
cleanup of the site and in December it
approved a plan to remove the encampment
by March. Several notices are to be provid-
ed throughout the 90 days before a hired
environmental group clears out, cleans up
and restores the site. Then, ongoing main-
tenance and enforcement to keep people
from dwelling will begin, according to a
city report.
During that time, Stebbins said they are
attempting to bring more intensive servic-
es to the coast. Resources include the
Homeless Outreach Team, a multi-discipli-
nary collaboration steered by the nonprofit
LifeMoves; Coastside Hope and Abundant
Grace, which are affiliated with local
churches and faith groups; and the county
has a medical clinic nearby.
Homeless coastsider Michael Taylor has
used some of the community-based services
over the years. The 55-year-old said fre-
quents the encampment behind Safeway but
lives on his own further east.
“This community is so giving,” Taylor
said. “The community and churches are just
way way cool.”
But one service many of the homeless on
the coastside seemed apprehensive to seek
is a night at a shelter over the hill. Zajec

Beyond a commitment to giving
Bakhtiari a fair shake, Medina took no
position on the merit of the whale’s mouth,
other than characterizing it as “a very
unique concept that I have not heard of
before.”
Bakhtiari, a Belmont native who lives
and works part time in Southern California
as an actor, said the proposed installation’s
distinctive nature is part of its appeal.
“I thought I’d bring some awe and wonder
to the neighborhood. Especially being
across the street from 150,000 graves, a
parking lot and a Hooters on the other side,
I thought it might be nice to have some art,”
said Bakhtiari, whose acting resume

and others living at the encampment said
they preferred to live outdoors rather than
stay at a facility that is equated with a lack
of privacy, curfews and the potential for
their things to be stolen.
Some like Zajec prefer things at the
encampment to be quiet, peaceful and for
the residents to abide by unspoken rules of
not causing a disturbance. There’s also
momentum by some to clean up and a dump-
ster placed nearby was quickly filled in a
show they take pride in their encampment,
according to Zajec and others.
Residents of the encampment have come
and gone over the years, although exactly
when it started wasn’t clear. Some of the
residents are just passing through from out
of state or other areas, but others have cho-
sen to live in the brush near the creek for
quite some time.
But the city is now poised to remove the
encampment the dozen or so people call
home.
“We want to be compassionate and work

He also downplayed concerns expressed
by officials that “the addition of a 18 [foot]
high whale mouth facing toward Golden
Gate National Cemetery will exacerbate the
inconsistent features of the site,” according
to the report.
“It’s being treated like I wanted to install
some sort of aggressive massacre of a sculp-
ture,” he said.

On health care, Dems shifting to offense

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Democrats are shifting

to offense on health care, emboldened by
successes in defending the Affordable Care
Act. They say their ultimate goal is a gov-
ernment guarantee of affordable coverage
for all.
With Republicans unable to agree on a
vision for health care, Democrats are debat-
ing ideas that range from single-payer, gov-
ernment-run care for all, to new insurance
options anchored in popular programs like
Medicare or Medicaid. There’s also wide-
spread support for authorizing Medicare to
negotiate prescription drug prices, an idea
once advocated by candidate Donald Trump,
which has languished since he was elected
president.
Democrats are hoping to winnow down
the options during the 2018 campaign sea-
son, providing clarity for their 2020 presi-
dential candidate. In polls, health care
remains a top priority for the public, partic-
ularly for Democrats and independents.
“We’re tired of just playing defense,” said
Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., the party’s 2016
vice presidential candidate. “It is now time

but ultimately she felt compelled to
heed her family’s call to spend the
evenings at home rather than away on
school business.
Board Vice President Audrey Ng said
she was caught off guard by Kohn
Hsieh’s announcement.
“It’s surprising because it was only
two years on the board and she had just
become president. It was very surpris-
ing,” she said.
Ng though indicated she supported
Kohn Hsieh’s decision.
“She cared about the kids and wanted
to do right by them,” she said. “It’s
unfortunate to leave after two years,
but she has to do what is right for her.”
A district press release also lauded
Kohn Hsieh’s service to the school
system.
“Over the past two years, Trustee
Hsieh has exhibited her commitment
to the success of the students of the
[San Mateo-Foster City Elementary
School District] and has consistently
supported student well-being and aca-
demic achievement, striving for equity
for all students, including closing the
academic achievement gap,” according
to the press release.
Kohn Hsieh said she was dismayed to
spring the news on her colleagues,
while citing the difficult nature of the
decision.

was an option in his case. Though the
county has three other pending cases
involving the murder of a young child
or infant, Contreras’ is the only case for

at this time, said Guidotti, who con-
firmed special circumstances have not
been alleged in those cases.
‘Very selective’
Guidotti could recall at least three
other cases in the 1990s in which the
death sentence was sought for particu-
larly violent murders, but acknowl-
edged the public’s aversion to the sen-
tence in recent years. She said it’s
become increasingly important for
prosecutors to choose only those cases
that truly merit the death penalty and
for which the jury is likely to deliver Other similar crimes

ishment.

“I do feel bad about having seeming-
ly caught them off guard,” she said.
“But on the other hand, how else do
you do it?”
To fill the vacancy, Ng said trustees
and district officials will soon con-
vene to examine next steps.
“We haven’t discussed it yet, but we
will,” she said.
Following Kohn Hsieh’s departure at
the end of the month, Ng is slated to be
the only trustee with any substantial
experience as an elected official on the
board. Trustees Noelia Corzo, Shara
Watkins and Rebecca Hitchcock just
started their tenure on the board, fol-
lowing their fall election victories.
Ng noted the unconventional nature
of preparing to work alongside four
burgeoning colleagues during a poten-
tially pivotal time for the district.
“That is unusual to have four new
trustees. And with everything that is
going on … it is going to be interest-
ing to bring them up to speed with all
these things in play,” she said.
The resignation comes as district is
in the process of administering a vari-
ety of school campus improvements
funded by the passage of a recent bond
measure, and plans are in place to ramp
up construction.
Most notably, officials are working
toward approving environmental doc-
uments laying the groundwork for con-
struction of a new Foster City school
at the Charter Square Shopping Center,
which was acquired last year for rede-
velopment into the city’s fourth ele-
mentary campus.
The board is slated during its upcom-
it,” she said. “And we are very selec-
tive. We’ve always been very selec-
tive.”
Contreras has pleaded not guilty to
all charges and his defense attorney
could not be immediately reached for
comment.
The toddler, Evelyn Castillo, was
found unconscious and unresponsive in
an apartment on the 400 block of
Madison Avenue in the Central
Neighborhood of Redwood City around
2:30 p.m. Aug. 6, 2015. Contreras had
been dating the mother for just two
months when he convinced the woman
to leave him alone with the child for the
first time, according to prosecutors.
Over the course of several hours,
Contreras allegedly repeatedly sexually
molested the girl, including by oral
copulation. When the child wouldn’t
stop crying, Contreras fatally beat her,
according to prosecutors. He contacted
his mother and initially claimed the
child fell off the changing table, but an
autopsy established his story was false,
according to prosecutors.

ing meeting Thursday, Jan 11, to
approve the environmental impact
report for the project, despite concerns
expressed by officials at Foster City
Hall.
Foster City officials have been criti-
cal of the project, claiming the site is
an inappropriate place for the school
and that significant mitigations are
required to assure neighbors of the
property aren’t adversely impacted by
its development.
Beyond the hurdles posed by negoti-
ations with the city, school officials
are grappling with the project budget,
which is expected to cost about $6 mil-
lion more than was initially expected.
The district’s financial concerns are
compounded by plans to ask voters for
parcel tax support, following the expi-
ration of a previous measure last year,
resulting in the loss of about $7 mil-
lion annually.
Examining the variety of initiatives
facing the district, Ng said she’s hope-
ful Kohn Hsieh’s replacement comes
with an open mind and commitment to
hard work.
“If we get someone who comes to the
board who is a big picture person, who
looks at the district as a whole and
makes decisions with kids in their
heart … I think we will have an effec-
tive trustee on board with us,” she said.
For her part, Kohn Hsieh expressed
her faith in the district’s ability to
endure in her absence.
“I feel very confident about this
board and their ability to move this
district forward in a positive manner,”
she said.

numerous injuries including several
human, adult bite marks, according to
prosecutors.
Alvarado-Cisneros continued to live

death and even had another child with
her. About a year later, the mother
reported to police numerous domestic
violence attacks, kidnapping and rob-

He was arrested and a subsequent
investigation led to his arrest for mur-
