Two San Bruno schools to close

School board approves plans to shutter campuses due to budget strife
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Two San Bruno elementary school cam-
puses will close, according to a school
board decision designed to fix a severe and
ongoing budget struggle.
The San Bruno Park Elementary School
District Board of Trustees voted 4-1, with
board President Jennifer Blanco dissenting,
to shutter El Crystal and Rollingwood ele-
mentary schools during a Thursday, Feb.
15, meeting.
Closing the campuses will allow the dis-
trict to trim operating costs, as recommend-
ed by officials seeking to address financial
challenges long plaguing the San Bruno
school system.
Board Vice President John Marinos
acknowledged the difficulty of the choice,
but said he believed it was the in the best
interest of the district’s future.
“It’s an extremely hard decision,” he said.
“I didn’t run for the board to close schools.
But at this point, there’s absolutely no
alternative.”
Blanco suggested otherwise though, and
said she would have preferred the district
keep the schools open while pursuing alter-
native fashions of balancing the budget.
The district should have held off on shut-
tering the campuses, for fear of harming the
community’s faith in officials, said Blanco.
Instead, she would have preferred to seek the
sale of other district property in the imme-
diate term and waited before making the hard
choice regarding the fate of the two
schools.
Her concerns about community support
for the district were based on claims that the
plan for closing the schools was generated
by County Office of Education officials who

lawsuit for gun

Gun retailer takes steps toward recourse
for San Carlos’ November moratorium
By Anna Schuessler
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Some three months after city officials halted plans to

open a sporting goods and firearm retail store in San Carlos
with a temporary moratorium on such locations selling
guns, a law firm representing the company is taking steps
toward what is a likely lawsuit against the city.
In a letter submitted to officials Friday, a legal represen-
tative of Southern California-based Turner’s Outdoorsman
sporting goods store notified them of allegations the city
forced the business to take steps other stores selling guns
in the city were not required to take and failed to proceed

South City examines affordability policy
City Council eyes strategy for implementing state laws targeting below-market units
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
From the foundation set by new state laws
emphasizing affordable housing develop-
ment, South San Francisco officials are seek-
ing ways to facilitate constructing below-
market units without scaring away builders.
The South San Francisco City Council
addressed concerns borne from the regional
affordability crisis, according to video of the
Wednesday, Feb. 14, study session aiming to
establish future housing policies.
While councilmembers offered direction
responding to housing laws recently passed
in the state Capitol, South San Francisco
officials also questioned the ultimate effec-
tiveness of the efforts.
Frustrated with the design of Assembly Bill
1505, defining requirements for rental devel-
opers to consider building affordable units,
Councilman Rich Garbarino shared skepti-
cism the law would accomplish its goal.
“The new legislation does cities no
favors,” said Garbarino, summarizing the
disappointment expressed by his colleagues
at the dais for the new law included in the
most recent slate of bills intended to facili-
tate new housing.
The bill serving as the focal point for the
discussion aims at requiring for-profit
builders to include affordable units alongside
market-rate units.
The new law sought to clarify a 2009
California Supreme Court case known as the
Palmer decision, which indicated govern-
ments could not require apartment developers
to build below-market-rate units. AB 1505
reinstates jurisdictions’ ability to implement
inclusionary zoning policies, but they must
provide developers alternate options such as
paying in-lieu fees or to build the units off
site, according to the League of California
Cities.
With an understanding developers often

prefer to pay fees rather than build affordable
units, officials sought to define the right
financial contribution amount which would
not deter interest. If the fees or affordability
requirements are too stringent, officials
shared concerns builders would forgo their
interest for fear of facing difficulties pencil-
ing out their projects amidst a costly con-
struction and property market.
While no final decision was rendered by
councilmembers, South San Francisco offi-
cials suggested developers should pay the
cost of substituting one market-rate unit for
an affordable one. The preferred fee, based on
local development rates, would be
$308,000.
They also suggested 15 percent of any
rental development should include affordable
housing, with an understanding builders may
seek other compromises allowed under the
new law rather than constructing the units.
Developers paying fees in lieu of afford-
able rental construction is a commonly
accepted practice through agreements
reached with builders seeking density bonus-
es.
South San Francisco officials though sug-
gested the payments, as well as a promise to
build the units off site, too rarely translate
into development of the affordable units.
“In lieu fees go into go into the housing
fund … and the end result is we don’t get the
housing we need,” said Garbarino.
While acknowledging more work is
required on the affordable housing front, offi-
cials took time to laud the past success of
South San Francisco in constructing below-
market units.
There are currently 995 affordable units in
South San Francisco, and 102 in the develop-
ment pipeline or under construction, accord-
ing to a city report.
Though much of the discussion addressed
rental affordability, councilmembers agreed
focus must also be kept on constructing new
purchasable units as well. A city policy
exists already requiring for sale develop-
ments to set aside 20 percent of each project
at an affordable rate.
“Owning a home adds continuity as well as
community, and that’s what we are missing
here,” said Garbarino, referring to the fre-
quent turnover among residents amidst the
city’s expensive housing market. Median
rents in South San Francisco are about
$3,400 per month, while the median sales
price of a home is about $800,000, accord-
ing to a city report.
While acknowledging the high cost of liv-
ing is a factor in the community’s ongoing
transition, Mayor Pro Tem Karyl Matsumoto
suggested the lifestyle of renters may con-
tribute as well.
“Millennials, who are transient, they like
the freedom of not having to set up roots and
being able to move on,” she said, suggesting
such a desire contributes to development
interest in rental units.
With an understanding market momentum
is pushing toward construction of rental
units, councilmembers expressed a desire to
assure affordability in that process, while
also noting the frustrating nature of the
issue.
“It’s very unsatisfying,” said Councilman
Mark Addiego.

Report: Pot growers in state
lagging in getting licenses
By John Rogers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Nearly two
months after recreational marijuana
became legal in California, less than 1
percent of the state’s known growers
have been licensed, according to a
report released Monday by a pot indus-
try group.
The 38-page report from the
California Growers Association says
0.78 percent, or 534, of an estimated
68, 150 marijuana growers were
licensed by the state as of Feb. 7. The
association cited such obstacles to
licensing as cost and regulatory barri-
ers.
A study published last year by the
University of California Agricultural
Issues Center estimated the newly cre-
Californians can go home but told to keep watch on wildfire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BISHOP — A wind-driven wildfire in
rural central California threatened
hundreds of buildings Monday,
including a historic railroad station,
but officials said they made some
gains after the flames exploded in
size.
The blaze scorched 3 1/2 square
ated state market for recreational mari-
juana should produce $5 billion in tax-
able revenue this year.
At the same time, it estimated the
market for medicinal marijuana, which
has been legal in California since
1996, would decline from an estimated
$2 billion last year to $1.4 billion in
2018, while about 30 percent of pot
sales would continue through the black
market.
If more of the smaller, independent
growers are not licensed by the state,
taxable revenue of recreational mari-
juana is likely to be lower than antici-
pated as the black market continues to
flourish, according to the new report.
“The current system will not achieve
its goals without fundamental and
structural changes that allow small and
independent businesses to enter into
miles (9 square kilometers) of chapar-
ral bush and shrub oak in the small
town of Bishop on the eastern slopes
of the Sierra Nevada that is popular
for hiking, fishing, climbing and
hunting.
Officials ended most evacuations
that were ordered near the town but
warned that strong winds were expect-
ed in the area and urged residents to

compliance,” the growers association
report concluded.
The Bureau of Cannabis Control,
which regulates the state’s marijuana
industry, was closed Monday for the
Presidents Day holiday, and officials
did not immediately respond to a
request for comment.
The growers association, which
identifies itself as the state’s largest
association of marijuana businesses,
said it hopes to work with officials in
getting more growers licensed.
“We must develop a regulatory
framework that will effectively curb
the environmental and public safety
impacts of cannabis by providing
pathways to compliance for business-
es currently operating in the unregulat-
ed market,” said Hezekiah Allen, the
group’s executive director.
remain vigilant.
It comes as California has seen
some record-high temperatures and
little rain after emerging from a five-
year drought, helping fuel some of the
deadliest and most destructive wild-
fires in state history late last year.

Man dies in cliff fall while
reportedly trying to rescue dog
A 67-year-old man fell from a 492-foot cliff at a beach in
Daly City late Monday morning and died from his injuries,
according to the National Park Service.
Around 11:10 a.m., the man went down a cliff at the
southern end of Fort Funston reportedly to rescue his dog,
NPS officials said.
A California Highway Patrol helicopter helped lift the
man from the cliffside to a parking area.
KGO-TV reports San Mateo County fire officials found
the body Monday morning at the bottom of the cliff below
Palisades Park.
Rescuers helped the dog get back up the cliff, where he
was turned over to a friend or family member of the victim.
The park is popular with hikers and dog walkers.
The NPS is continuing to investigate the fatal fall.
They’re also reminding beachgoers to never try to rescue
pets from cliffsides and to instead call 911.
Man arrested on suspicion
of DUI after head-on crash
A Redwood City man was arrested on suspicion of DUI
after a head-on collision Saturday morning in South San
Francisco, police said Sunday.
Officers responded at 6:09 a.m. to the 2300 block of
Westborough Boulevard where 21-year-old Esteban
Figueroa allegedly admitted to being a driver involved in
the collision.
During the investigation, officers suspected Figueroa was
driving under the influence because he allegedly showed
signs of impairment.
Figueroa allegedly failed field sobriety tests. He was
arrested and taken to the county jail on suspicion of driving
under the influence of alcohol.
Police allege Figueroa was driving a 2007 Infinity east in
the westbound lanes of Westborough Boulevard when the
collision occurred.
Police said two people in the other vehicle were injured
and taken to a hospital for treatment.
Anyone with information about the collision is asked to
call the South San Francisco Police Department at (650)
877-8900.

Sexual misconduct scandal envelops California Legislature
By Kathleen Ronayne
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — Sexual misconduct in
the California Legislature was bound to be a
prominent issue when lawmakers got to
Sacramento last month, but for seven weeks
it has felt like the only one, with the bur-
geoning scandal taking one surprising twist
after another and diverting attention from
government spending, climate change and
housing.
It again will be the focus when lawmakers
return Tuesday and learn whether an investi-
gation cleared state Sen. Tony Mendoza of
misconduct allegations or set him up for
possible expulsion. In another headline-
grabbing development, the Los Angeles-area

Funerals: Grieving teens, raw
emotions after school shooting
By Terry Spencer,
Jennifer Kay and Kelli Kennedy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARKLAND, Fla. — Each funeral for the
victims of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas
High massacre is different, yet the same: the
mourning relatives, teens walking in clutch-
es wearing black, politicians paying their
respects, media cameras pointing at the
entrance from across the parking lot.
And each service takes its toll on the
young mourners, many of them attending
more friends’ funerals in a span of days than
many middle-aged people have in their life-
times. Services for 14 Stoneman Douglas
students, the athletic director, a coach and a
geography teacher began Friday, two days
after the shooting, and will end in the next
few days.
Erica Sparrow, a 17-year-old senior, said
Monday that she went to her first funeral a
couple of weeks ago, “now I have one every
day.” She and her friend, Lauren Kuperman,
also 17, began ticking off names —
Meadow Pollack from Friday, Joaquin Oliver
from Saturday and Alaina Petty’s on Monday.
Three more Tuesday, another Wednesday. It’s
both difficult and cathartic, the girls said.
“It kind of helps but at the same time it
makes me sad,” Sparrow said.
Stoneman Douglas senior Lewis Mizen
said Monday he had never attended a funeral
for someone his own age before the week-
end. He will attend another Tuesday. When an
older family member dies, he said, it seems
natural that their children and grandchildren
speak about their loss, but seeing parents
eulogize their child cuts deep emotionally.
“Seeing a father freak out, I hope I never
have to see something like that again,”
NATION
Mourners leave the funeral for Alyssa Aldaheff, 14, one of the victims of the school shooting,
in North Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Mizen said. “Right now, it all seems very
surreal.”
The funerals have taken place in churches
and synagogues, funeral homes and confer-
ence centers, all packed, sometimes with
crowds topping 2,000. The last-arriving
mourners have often been forced outside into
the Florida heat, where they stand respectful-
ly for an hour, straining to hear a snippet of
the service.
Monday’s funeral for Petty, a 14-year-old
freshman, was unique but also unfortunately
too common in this grieving community.
More than 1,500 mourners, most dressed in
black, filed into The Church of Jesus Christ

spoke about how she enthusiastically joined
other Mormon youth to help with cleanup
efforts in September after Hurricane Irma,
and of her love of dogs and her confidence
and wit.
Her father Ryan Petty spoke about the sup-
port his family has received from their
church, the community and from around the
country and world.
“We could not get through this without the

love, prayers and support offered,” he said.
“We may never know all of the acts of kind-
ness that have been rendered on our behalf
this past week. We have witnessed hundreds
in just the past few days but we know that is
a small fraction of the total.”
Other fathers and mothers have said simi-
lar words in recent days, begging mourners
to never forget their child and to treat each
other with kindness.
The father of 18-year-old Meadow Pollack
called out the 19-year-old gunman Nikolas
Cruz, the former Stoneman Douglas student
who has admitted Wednesday’s killings,
yelling, “You killed my daughter!” before
calling him an obscenity. The mother of
Alyssa Alhadeff, 14, called on politicians to
enact laws that will prevent future school
massacres.
Siblings also have bared their loss.
Petty’s older sister, Meghan Petty, talked
about how Alaina will now be her guardian
angel and that the shooting should not
detract from the goodness that lives within
the community.
“What happened to her is that it was a
very, very ugly act that was committed by
one person but as you look around at how
many people who are here ... there are thou-
sands more who are doing something really
beautiful for my sister,” Meghan Petty said.
Dr. Francisco Cruz, lead psychiatrist at
Ketamine Health Centers, suggested some
survivors may want to limit themselves to
services for their close friends, but he said
overexposure to news coverage and social
media posts about the shooting may be
more harmful than attending several funer-
als.

complex. Russians. It alleges that Yevgeny Prigozhin — a wealthy
restaurateur dubbed “Putin’s chef,” paid for the internet
operation that created fictitious social media accounts and
used them to spread tendentious messages.
The aim of the factory’s work was either to influence vot-
ers or to undermine their faith in the U.S. political system,
the 37-page indictment states.
Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters Monday
that while the indictment focuses on “Russian nationals,” it
gives “no indication that the Russian government was
involved in this in any way.” Peskov reasserted that
Moscow did not interfere in the U.S. election.
Mindiyarov said he failed the language exam needed to
get a job on the Internet Research Agency’s Facebook desk,
where the pay was double than the domestic side of the fac-
tory. The sleek operation produced content that looked as if
it were written by native English speakers, he said.
“These were people with excellent language skills, inter-
preters, university graduates,” he said, “It’s very hard to tell
it’s a foreigner writing because they master the language
wonderfully.”
The English test he took asked for a writing sample about
Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton’s chances of winning
the U.S. presidential vote, Mindiyarov recalled.
“I wrote that her chances were high and she could become
the first female president,” he told the AP.
Mindiyarov said he took a job at the troll factory in late
2014 because he was unemployed and curious. At the time,
about 400 people occupied four floors of an office building
and worked 12-hour shifts, he said. Most of the operation
focused on the separatist insurgency in eastern Ukraine and
Western sanctions against Russia, not political races in the
West, he said.

Around the nation

What to wear at polls? High
court will have a say on that
WASHINGTON — A “Make America Great Again” hat. A tea
party T-shirt. A MoveOn.org button.
Wear any one of those items to vote in Minnesota, and a
poll worker will probably ask you to remove it or cover it
up.
Like a number of states, Minnesota bars voters from wear-
ing political items to the polls to reduce the potential for
confrontations or voter intimidation. But that could change.
The Supreme Court on Feb. 28 will consider a challenge to
the state’s law, in a case that could affect other states, too.
Wen Fa, a lawyer with the Pacific Legal Foundation, the
group behind the challenge to Minnesota’s law, says voters
wearing political apparel shouldn’t have to hang up their
hats, turn their T-shirts inside out or put their buttons in
their bags just to cast a ballot.
Wearing political clothing is “a passive way to express
core political values,” said Fa, who said the case is “about
the free speech rights of all Americans.”
Minnesota sees it differently. In court papers, it says the
law is a “reasonable restriction” that preserves “order and
decorum in the polling place” and prevents “voter confusion
and intimidation.”

Pennsylvania’s new
congressional map could boost Democrats
HARRISBURG, Pa. — Pennsylvania’s high court issued a
new congressional district map for the state’s 2018 elec-
tions on Monday, potentially giving Democrats a boost in
their quest to capture control of the U.S. House unless
Republicans can to stop it in federal court.
The map of Pennsylvania’s 18 congressional districts is
to be in effect for the May 15 primary and substantially
overhauls a Republican-drawn congressional map widely
viewed as among the nation’s most gerrymandered. The map
was approved in a 4-3 decision, with four Democratic jus-
tices backing it and one Democratic justice siding with two
Republicans against it.
The divided court appears to have drawn its own map with
the help of a Stanford University law professor, although
some district designs are similar to proposals submitted to
the court by Democrats.

Fighting forests fires with fire
The Press Democrat
C
alifornians love the Sierra
forests too much. We’ve been
loving our trees to death for
a century, and changing course will
require everyone to think differently
about forest management. An inde-
pendent government oversight com-
mittee has produced a plan and a need-
ed slap of reality.
The scars of last year’s fires are still
raw, especially in this part of the
state. But we can’t let that stop us
from re-examining a century of poli-
cies that has left 129 million dead
trees in the Sierra and wildlands sus-
ceptible to major fires, especially
after years of drought, warm weather
and insect infestations have provided
ample fuel.
Humans also helped prep forests for
fire. Because we love our forests,
we’ve protected them. When there’s
been a fire, firefighters contained it
and put it out.
It turns out that wasn’t always the
best thing we could do. Decades of fire
suppression allowed forest density to
increase dangerously. A century ago,
forests in the Sierra Nevada had 50 to
80 trees per acre. Today, there are
some places with 300 to 400, accord-
ing to UC Berkeley’s Center for
Forestry. Similar patterns are plain in
many other forests across the state.
Letters to the editor
Keep Foster City safe
Editor,
Informed readers are aware that
Foster City is preparing to put a bond
to fund the levee project. As a result
of FEMA flood map revision process,
most of us will pay either on our
property tax bill or to an insurance
agent. Unless you think it’s a wise
option to take FEMA to court, it’s
wise to accept their map revision
backed by the latest scientific meth-
ods.
At the time of this writing, the cost
of flood insurance for my SFR house
with a “X” rating is $450 a year for
$250,000 replacement with a $1,350
deductible ($250K is the upper cap for
all flood insurance programs —
they’re all written by National Flood
Insurance Program no matter which
insurance agent you use. I got quotes
from two local agents in Foster City).
Assuming the “X” rating is lost, the
premium will rise substantially, as
described by a property owner on this
thread facing a $3,300 a year flood
insurance. I, for one, do not want to
be the property owner that is faced
with an insurance shock and has to

Those ancient, less-dense forests
could tolerate periodic fires. In fact,
lightning-sparked blazes were part of
the natural forest life cycle. When
trees are packed closely together,
however, fires burn hotter and can
spread more easily.
Those fires in today’s forests are bad
in all sorts of ways. There are the
obvious losses of wilderness, habitat,
property and life. Less obvious are
the effects on air and water. Smoke
and biodegrading remnants release
carbon, methane and other green-
house gases into the air. Exposed
soil, meanwhile, can end in landslides
and erodes into reservoirs and water-
ways, costing millions to clean up.
The Little Hoover Commission, an
independent government oversight
body, spells all this out in its new
report, “Fire on the Mountain:
Rethinking Forest Management in
the Sierra Nevada.” The researchers
offer hope, too.
Local, state and federal land man-
agers must collaborate on sustain-
able, long-term forest health. Indeed,
federal buy-in will be especially
important because the U.S. govern-
ment owns more than half of the
forestland in the state. Private stake-
holders and forest owners also must
be at the table.
plummet. No one does.
It must be noted that not all cities

hope that my fellow residents will
join me in supporting the mutual goal
of keeping Foster City safe.

OPINION
Fire suppression needs to be better
balanced with restoration. That will
mean using controlled burns and let-
ting some fires burn uncontrolled —
literally fighting fire with fire. It also
will require logging, something that
environmentalists often reflexively
oppose. It can’t be the sort of nearly
unregulated cutting that congression-
al Republicans and the timber indus-
try desire, but there’s opportunity for
profit in public-private partnerships.
The Little Hoover Commission’s
report urges modernizing the timber
industry by investing in sawmills
that can process smaller and dead trees
and in energy programs that burn
brush to generate power. Scientists
can direct harvests to areas that will
help the forest first and the profit mar-
gin second.
Underlying all this needs to be pub-
lic awareness and education. Spending
millions to restore forests could be a
tough sell to taxpayers when the ben-
efits to wilderness, waterways,
wildlife and climate lie in the future.
Moreover, the public simply needs to
know what’s going on. People need
to understand that fire isn’t inherently
bad, a lesson that may take time to
learn after last year’s disaster.
But it took generations for
California’s forests to decline into
their present state, and restoring them
will take time too. The Little Hoover
Commission report could help guide
the way.
situation much less anything else. So
what do we do? Perhaps more of us
need to get involved, even if that
only means voting.
My first reaction as I read the head-
lines about another mass shooting
was to pray. “Been there done that,”
other people might say but, at this
point, I am willing to do as many
things possible to help solve the
problem. We have to start some-
where. In my religion, I tend to think
that things happen for a reason and
that God has a plan. But I am strug-
gling with God’s plan. Still I pray.
We need to start a conversation
(again). Lets get some of the ammuni-
tion and the rifle and gun companies
involved. We want to hear their take
on this.
Being a part of this country is not a
spectator sport. Our founders got us
here through hard work and loss of
life. Many of us take for granted the
freedoms that we have. If we don’t
turn the ship around soon we are
going to have a tough road to hoe.
Get involved.

Surge of interest in council
races and it’s just February
I
t’s good news for democracy when citizens are inter-
ested in running for office. So while resignations
abound in Congress, here in our neighborhoods there
is a surge of interest in running for city council and it’s just
February. The election isn’t until November but filing offi-
cially begins in July.
The action centers around three cities — South San
Francisco, San Carlos and Redwood City. In each city three
seats are on the ballot.
In South San Francisco it is likely that two incumbents
will seek re-election. Mark Addiego has confirmed his inten-
tion while Pradeep Gupta is visiting in India and could not
be reached for comment. However, he never said he didn’t
plan to run. It is believed that the mayor, Liza Normandy,
will not run again because of her recent appointment as CEO
of the South San Francisco Chamber of Commerce.
Despite this uncertainty,
the following have
announced their interest or
are seriously considering
running. Mark Nagales, an
aide to U.S. Rep. Jackie
Speier, is already on the
campaign trail and has lined
up major endorsements from
state and local public offi-
cials, including his boss. He
currently serves on the
city’s Planning
Commission. Alan Wong,
also on the Planning
Commission, is also consid-
ering. At 37 years, he is
probably the youngest can-
didate. He grew up in San
Carlos, attended University of California, Berkeley, and
now works in finance in San Francisco. He and his wife have
a young daughter.
Probably the biggest surprise is that the elected city
clerk, Krista Martinelli, is seriously interested in joining
the fray. South San Francisco has no term limits.
***
Meanwhile, in San Carlos, where two veteran coun-
cilmembers do not plan to run again, only two candidates
have started collecting endorsements and money. The two
veterans, Bob Grassilli and Matt Grocott, do not plan to run
again, although San Carlos has no term limits. Grassilli has
held the role of peacemaker and compromiser and will be
missed. Grocott, a vocal Libertarian, has stuck to his princi-
ples over the years and often voted in the minority. But he
too will be missed. Incumbent Cameron Johnson is plan-
ning to run again.
The two new contenders are Adam Rak, former member of
the San Carlos Elementary School District board, who was
the first to announce. He has lived in San Carlos for 17 years
with his wife and three school-age daughters. He was a leg-
islative aide to former Connecticut U.S. Rep. Barbara
Kennelly. When he moved to California, Rak worked for
Symantec and later held a leadership position in a high tech
trade association. He now is senior vice president at a small
consulting firm and vice president of the city’s Chamber of
Commerce.
Laura Parmer-Lohan moved to San Carlos six years ago.
She grew up in Southern California, attended University of
California, Santa Cruz, and received an MBA from
University of California, Berkeley in health care. She start-
ed her own business in 2015, Ruckus Partners, which helps
companies launch various medical products. With two sons
in local schools, she became active in the education founda-
tion and Chickens Ball, a major school fundraiser.
***
Unlike San Carlos and South San Francisco, Redwood
City has term limits but they are long, 16 years. Incumbents
Jeff Gee and Diane Howard plan to run again while a newer
member of the council, John Seybert does not. He feels he
has accomplished what he set out to do in two terms and is
willing for some new faces to take his place. He is the
exception to the rule. Most councilmembers serve the full
16 years. And Howard is on her second round. After her first
16 years of service she retired for four, missed being on the
council, and ran again and was re-elected in 2014.
To date, there are six potential new candidates, some of
whom have filed and some who are still thinking about it.
Why all the interest? Redwood City is changing rapidly
with tall buildings and a revitalized downtown and a huge
new development, 1601 El Camino Real, will soon be up
for approval. Here are the most mentioned candidates to
date:
Definitely in are Giselle Hale, planning commissioner
with a big political bio. She was field director for the 2008
Obama campaign and also a former campaign manager for
U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo. So is Rick Hunter, another former
planning commissioner with a long history in Redwood
City.
Christina Umhofer, a local businesswoman, and Diana
Reddy, a community activist and rent control advocate, also
plan to run. Still thinking about it is Planning
Commissioner Ernie Schmidt but Jason Galisatus, who
would be the youngest candidate, said he will not be running
— at least in 2018.

European shares drift lower as traders take breather

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — European shares
drifted lower Monday as investors
paused for breath following a size-
able rally last week. Despite the
move lower, there are few signs of
the turmoil that gripped stock
markets earlier this month. U.S.
stock markets are closed for
Presidents Day.
KEEPING SCORE: In Europe,
Germany’s DAX was down 0.3 per-
cent at 12,412 while the FTSE 100
index of leading British shares fell
0.3 percent to 7,276. The CAC 40
in France was 0.2 percent lower at
5.269.
CALM DOMINATES: Earlier
this month there were real con-
cerns that global stock markets
were poised for a sustained period
of weakness. However, sentiment
has recovered over the past week
or so, with many traders adjusting
to the altered economic environ-
ment.
ANALYS T TAKE: “So far,
global equity markets seem to be
adjusting to the prospect of high-
er inflation, presumably on the
basis that increases in corporate
pricing power will be positive for
earnings rather than of the cost-
push kind that dents profit mar-
gins and result in a stagflationary
economy,” said Neil MacKinnon,
global macro strategist at VTB
Capital.
ASIA’S DAY: Earlier, Asian
stocks performed strongly as they
caught up with Friday’s further
advance, particularly on Wall
Street. Japan’s Nikkei 225 jumped
2 percent to 22, 149. 21. The
Tokyo benchmark ended the day
just 2.7 percent below where it
started 2018, having recouped
most of its losses during the
recent global rout. South Korea’s
Kospi advanced 0. 9 percent to
2,442.82. Australia’s S&P/ASX
200 rose 0.6 percent to 5,941.60.
Chinese markets were closed for
Lunar New Year.
OIL: Benchmark U.S. crude rose
46 cents to $62.01 per barrel in
electronic trading on the New York
Mercantile Exchange while Brent
crude, used to price international
oils, was up 25 cents at $65.09 a
barrel in London.
CURRENCIES: The euro was

while the dollar rose 0.2 percent REUTERS
to 106.60 yen. The German share price index, DAX board, is seen at the stock exchange in Frankfurt, Germany.

Key EU banker accused of bribery, Russia ties Chicken shortage

By Carlo Piovano
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — Latvia’s top bank-
ing official explained the “rules
of the game” for successful bank-
ing in the small European coun-
try. His sidekick sat the owner of
Norvik bank down, scribbling
the sum on a piece of paper:
100, 000 euros ($125, 000) a
month.
An international complaint
filed by Latvian bank Norvik
alleges that a “Senior Latvian
Official” repeatedly sought “to
extort monetary bribes, ” and
retaliated against the bank when
its owners refused to pay up. The
39-page claim, filed before a
World Bank arbitration body, left
the identity of the senior official
anonymous.
That person is Ilmars
Rimsevics, Norvik bank officials
told the Associated Press.
Rimsevics, the country’s top
banking official and a key mem-
ber of the European Central Bank,
was detained Saturday amid
swirling accusations of bribery
and money laundering schemes in
Latvia that reach back to Russia.
On Monday, Latvia’s anti-corrup-
tion agency said it suspects
Rimsevics of “seeking a large-
scale bribe” and has started a
criminal investigation against
him.
The high-stakes drama unfolded
Saturday, when Rimsevics was
detained upon arriving for ques-
tioning at the office of Latvia’s
anti-corruption agency, and was
interviewed for eight hours into
the night, his lawyer told state
TV. His office and a property were
raided, the channel said.
The looming criminal charges
against the man who has over-
seen the country’s banking sector
since 1992, in the wake of the
Soviet collapse, has plunged the
small Baltic nation into turmoil.
shuts KFCs across Britain
LONDON — Fast-food fans were
in a flutter Monday after most of
the 900 KFC outlets in the U.K.
and Ireland were forced to close
because of a shortage of chicken.
The company apologized to cus-
tomers, blaming “teething prob-
lems” with its new delivery part-
ner, DHL.
KFC first apologized for the
problems on Saturday. In an update
Monday, it listed almost 300
stores as open, but did not say
when the rest might join them.
It said those branches that
remained open were operating a
limited menu or shortened hours.
“We know that this might have
Business brief
inconvenienced some of you over
the last few days, and disappointed
you when you wanted your fried
chicken fix — we’re really sorry
about that,” the company said in a
statement.
DHL, which recently took over
the KFC contract from Bidvest
Logistics, said that “due to opera-
tional issues a number of deliver-
ies in recent days have been
incomplete or delayed.”
When DHL announced in
October that it had won the KFC
contract alongside logistics firm
QSL, it promised to “re-write the
rule book and set a new benchmark
for delivering fresh products to
KFC in a sustainable way.”

Cedeno comes up clutch in PAL finals

South City star hits game-winner in PAL tournament championship
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
It was like watching Curry and LeBron
go toe-to-toe, only in the Peninsula
Athletic League girls’ basketball arena.
For the second straight year, the two
best players in the PAL squared off in the
PAL girls’ tournament championship
game. Unlike last year, however, when
South City’s star point guard Brittney
Cedeno departed with a season-ending
ankle injury to leave Menlo-Atherton to
run away with a blowout win, this year’s
showdown between the now-seniors
Cedeno and M-A center Greer Hoyem
was a wire-to-wire battle for the ages.
“Last year we were heartbroken,”
South City junior Becca Tasi said. “We
worked so hard and we really thought we
were going to get the win.”
In a rematch that saw 10 lead changes,
including four in the fourth quarter,
Cedeno delivered the final one by crush-
ing an eight-foot floater with nine sec-
onds remaining as South City claimed
its first PAL tournament championship
since 2000 with a 59-58 victory over
reigning three-time champion M-A
Saturday night at the Cabrillo Union
School District Event Center in Half
Moon Bay.
The Lady Warriors reaction this time
around?
“So happy, I just wanted to cry,” Tasi
said.
While Cedeno and Hoyem starred by
sharing the game-high with 19 points
apiece, the thriller showcased great
depth by each South City and M-A. It
was South City sophomore Lafu
Malepeai who sealed the win with her
fourth steal of the night, intercepting a
pass at midcourt while in the full-court
press to disallow M-A from trying for a
last-second shot.
“It all came down to, right when the
girls stopped, she made eye-contact
[with her teammate] and I knew they
were going to make that pass right
there,” Malepeai said. TERRY BERNAL/DAILY JOURNAL

PAL tournament championships. The only
year Sequoia didn’t win since he arrived at the
Redwood City campus was 2015-16, his
sophomore year, during which he was injured
during the PAL tournament.
It has been a long journey for Sequoia’s star
senior, and nephew of head coach Fine Lauese.
Hailing from Maui, Hawaii, Ziggy Lauese
older sister Ana Lauese. That was a tall order,
as Ana was a high school state champion at
Lahainaluna HS in Lahaina, Hawaii.
“It all started after watching my sister play,”
Ziggy Lauese said. “Watching her play, and
how she worked, made me want to be good.”
In 2011, Ana Lauese moved to Redwood
City to play basketball at Foothill College.
During this time, Ziggy Lauese was on the
verge of a massive growth spurt, shooting up
nearly half a foot while in middle school.
“It was a growth spurt in middle school,”
Fine Lauese said. “I think he grew about 6-

Ziggy actually shares his first name with
his father, Sione Lauese Sr.. When Ziggy was
a child, he started going by the name of Junior
— only, in the Lauese’s native language, the
word for “junior” is “si’i.”
Siblings and cousins had a difficult time
pronouncing “Si’i.” Instead, it consistently
was mispronounced “Ziggy.”
“It caught on and we went with it,” Sione
Lauese Sr. said.
After Ana Lauese’s career at Foothill, she
moved back to Hawaii. While, at the same
time, Ziggy Lauese was readying to enter
to Redwood City.
“All of a sudden, we switched places,” Ziggy
Lauese said.
Now, nearly four years later, Ziggy has
grown into the basketball player he always
admired his sister to be. And as he closes his
high school career, he does so in style, lead-
ing Sequoia to its second Central Coast

Sequoia seals third PAL boys’ tourney title in four years
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The South Division has dominated the
Peninsula Athletic League boys’ basketball
tournament in recent years. The Sequoia
Cherokees have been at the forefront of that
dominance.
With a 62-48 victory over Jefferson in the
PAL tournament championship Saturday night
at the Cabrillo Union School District Events
Center in Half Moon Bay, the Cherokees
earned their third tourney title in four years.
The PAL South has now captured the crown for
five years running, starting with Burlingame
in 2014, Menlo-Atherton in ’16, and Sequoia
in ’15, ’17 and ’18.
The common denominator over the past four
seasons for Sequoia has been center Ziggy
Lauese, who battled through early foul trouble
Saturday to post team-highs of 18 points and
eight rebounds. But the Cherokees were a
determined bunch, utilizing a pristine team
passing tempo and inspired defense to lead the
championship showdown wire-to-wire.
“I always use the Warriors (as an example),”
Sequoia head coach Fine Lauese said.
“Everybody looks to pass the ball assuming
there’s going to be a breakdown somewhere.
… It’s good to see. When the ball is moving,
we play well.”
The benefits showed in the Sequoia box
score. Senior guard Pedram Attari added 14
points, while seniors Myles Nunez and Zach
Bene added nine apiece. And while Ziggy
Lauese had to sit more minutes than usual —
although, he did play through most of the
opening half even after incurring his third foul
midway through the second quarter — Bene, an
unsung hero for the Cherokees this season,
was essential on defense and on the boards.
“Zach Bene is our go-to guy when we need to
contain the best player on the other team,”
Fine Lauese said. “He never comes off the floor
and he always plays hard. I wish I had 15 Zach
Benes.”
Sequoia freshman Lio Lauese, left, drives against Jefferson’s Daniel Benjamin in the Cherokees’
62-48 victory in the PAL boys’ tournament championship Saturday in Half Moon Bay.
The task in defending the explosive offense
of Jefferson is containing its two standout sen-
iors, center Rodney Lawrence and point guard
Daniel Benjamin. There were times Sequoia
was successful at doing this, and it was at these
times the purple-and-black ran away with the
game.
Lawrence produced a game-high 21 points
and nine rebounds, but battling on the inside
with the taller, more imposing Ziggy Lauese
— Lawrence is a lanky 6-6, while Lauese is a
muscular 6-7 — the Grizzlies’ big man didn’t
get to the cylinder for his first field goal until
midway through the second quarter. By then,
the Cherokees had already built a substantial
lead.
“Rodney was very good,” Ziggy Lauese said.
“I had to try to get around him because he is
TERRY BERNAL/DAILY JOURNAL
good. They have a great team but we got some
lucky bounces.”
Those “lucky bounces” were rampant in the
opening four minutes as Sequoia jumped out to
an 8-0 lead. And while Jefferson shot just 1 of
6 from the field in the quarter — on its way to
converting just 39 percent throughout — the
Cherokees’ hot start catapulted them to a 52.4-
percent shooting clip in the contest.
And Bene’s defense was a big reason for the
discrepancy, as he consistently forced passes
out of the hands of Benjamin. Jefferson’s sen-
ior point guard totaled 10 points and five
assists, though he converted just one field goal
in the first half — a 3-pointer near the begin-
ning of the second quarter — and scored a
majority of his points after Sequoia held a dou-
ble-digit lead in the fourth quarter.
“It’s all about our command on defense,”
Ziggy Lauese said. “In practice we always say
defense wins championships.”
Jefferson did enjoy a surge near the end of the
first half to make a game of it though. The
Cherokees were up 25-9 with three minutes to
go before halftime, but Lawrence got going on
the offensive boards and the Grizzlies finished
on a 12-4 run.
Trailing 28-21 at halftime, Jefferson opened
the second half with a 3-pointer by junior
guard Luis Villarreal, closing to within 28-24.
It was as close as the Grizzlies would get.
“We played more close games earlier in the
season than lately,” Jefferson head coach John
Falabella said. “Close games build character.
We should have played a little bit better
though.”
From there, Sequoia went on a 10-2 run
spurred by a steal and strongman’s reverse
layup by Nunez. The two teams broke even on
the scoreboard 16-16 in the third quarter,
capped by a 10-foot jumper by Bene, only to
be matched by Lawrence powering for a put-
back on one of his four offensive rebounds.
In the fourth quarter, though, Sequoia com-
manded a 19-11 outburst, with Nunez and Bene
pouring in 3-pointers and Ziggy Lauese emerg-
ing for six of his 18 points.
“We haven’t really faced a player the likes of
Ziggy all season,” Falabella said. “He’s a load.
We knew that coming in.”
The victory all but sealed Sequoia’s advanc-
ing to the Central Coast Section Open
Division bracket. Play opens Friday with a
rematch of the 2016-17 first-round matchup as
the No. 5 Cherokees take on No. 4 St. Francis
at Santa Clara High School. Tip-off is sched-
uled for 5:30 p.m.
“We’ve been working for this for a long
time,” Ziggy Lauese said. “But we know we
have a lot more work to do.”
Jefferson opens play in the CCS Division IV
bracket after byes in the first two rounds. The
No. 3 Grizzlies tip off Saturday at Hartnell
College at a time to be determined.

Curry would love to captain Team Stephen again in 2019

By Bernie Wilson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Stephen Curry would
love to be an NBA All-Star Game captain
again next year, especially since the game
will be in his hometown of Charlotte.
LeBron James would be OK with someone
else taking his place, depending on who the
top two vote-getters are, although his draft
prowess led to Team LeBron beating Team
Stephen 148-145 Sunday night.
And there’s a definite
appetite for the NBA to
televise the captains’
draft rather than conduct
it clandestinely like it
was this year.
“Televise it, ” said
DeMar DeRozan of Team
Stephen. “Give the peo-
Steph Curry ple what they want to
see. I think everybody
wants to see it. At the end of the day, every
single person that gets picked, you are an
All-Star, so it doesn’t matter where you real-
ly go, so I think televise it.”
Players raved about the new format of
having captains draft the teams rather than
the traditional format of East vs. West.
And James finally revealed his draft order:
Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, his former
Cleveland teammate Kyrie Irving and
DeMarcus Cousins, who missed the game
due to a season-ending injury.
Where did he hide his draft board?
“Ain’t none of your business. You’re
going too far, man,” James said with a
laugh.
Curry didn’t divulge his draft order.
“As the draft kind of unfolded, you start to
game plan around positions,” he said. “For
me, I tried to get the best shooters. It was
kind of cool to see both teams come togeth-
er as me and LeBron were picking. So that
part, that vibe of the format and having two
guys select from your peers will be a fun
show as it unfolds year after year.”

full-court pressure defense of South City.
This, along with the Warriors’ 3-point
marksmanship, helped South City build a
substantial first-half lead. Freshman
guard Alex Salise drilled her second con-
secutive 3 with under a minute to go in the
first quarter, giving the Warriors a 14-11
lead, sparking a 19-4 run that helped give
South City its best lead of the night at 30-
15.
The Lady Bears rallied back before the half
though, with guard Catharine Chai answering
with the hot hand from beyond the arc.
Hoyem wrestled six of her game-high 13
rebounds in the second quarter, and the fresh-
man Chai cut into South City’s lead by
drilling two 3s at the end of the half — en
route to scoring 16 points — to leave M-A
trailing 30-25 at the break.
“We fought back and I’m proud of my team
for not giving up,” M-A head coach Markisha
Coleman said.
At the start of the second half, Chai fed an
assist pass to junior Erica Fischer for a quick

him unavailable for Friday’s match against
Aragon.
The Dons agreed to let Hurd “start” in
goal for the final game of his high school
career — crutches and all.
And in a class move, the Dons took the
opening kickoff and immediately kicked it
SPORTS
3, then the next time down Chai banked a six-
foot, pull-up jumper to tie it 30-30, and it was
game on. Chai scored eight points in the
third quarter, including consecutive break-
away steal-and-scores to build the Bears’ first
lead of the half at 37-33.
“[Chai] is just learning how to run a team
and I think she came in and did great,”
Coleman said. “The way she performed
tonight, we were very excited.”
South City stormed back with a pair of 3s
from Salise and Cedeno, then Cedeno con-
verted on a crafty dribble-drive and quickly
the Warriors swung the advantage back with a
41-37 lead. They held it until the closing sec-
onds of the third quarter when M-A scored in
transition with senior guard Carly
McLanahan pushing an assist pass to Fischer
on a layup to tie it 45-45.
Sophomore guard Linnea Lindblom gave
M-A the lead 47-45 on the team’s first pos-
session of the fourth quarter. And the Bears
would enjoy the advantage throughout most
of the period until South City tied it 54-54
with 1:55 remaining on a bucket from
Malepeai.
On the ensuing possession, McLanahan
had a 3-point attempt swirl out, but Fischer
crashed for the offensive board. The junior
kicked it to a driving McLanahan, who drew
out of bounds, thus allowing Hurd to come
off the field to a round of applause before
being replaced by sophomore Parker Crouse,
the Knights’ JV starter who was called up for
the final game to replace the injured Hurd.
While so many people are concerned
about winning and championships for their
respective high school teams, many forget
that these are kids who are still learning to
be adults. The sportsmanship displayed by
both teams prove that there are teaching
moments in high school sports.

the foul. It was the only time in the game an
M-A player besides Hoyem went to the line to
shoot two. The senior knocked down 1 of 2 —
the Bears shot 9 of 12 from the stripe through-
out — giving M-A a 55-54 advantage.
At the other end, though, the Warriors not
only converted a monster and-1, they took
control of the game clock. Cedeno conducted
South City’s offense beautifully, taking a
drive around a backdoor screen to draw M-A’s
defense on the right side. As two M-A bodies
converged, Cedeno threaded a bounce pass
underneath to Tasi.
“I don’t know if there’s a better decision
maker in that spot in the PAL,” Carion said.
Tasi hadn’t been shooting particularly well
up to that point.
“It was a good pass,” Tasi said. “I was kind
of nervous. I thought I wasn’t going to catch
it.”
Not only did Tasi convert with 50 seconds
to go, however, she also drew the foul and
knocked down the free throw to give South
City a 57-55 lead.
“We were in a really good spot because we
knew we were going to get the last shot,”
Carion said. “And we were thinking, ‘no 3s,
no 3s, no 3s.’”
Even though M-A played for the tie, a 3-
point play is precisely what happened.
the game-winning shot in the playoffs. To
do it twice in one tournament is asking a
lot and to do it back-to-back games on
back-to-back days? Well, that simply does-
n’t happen.
Unless you’re South City guard Brittney
Cedeno, that is. The senior guard, who is
heading to Cal Baptist University in Irvine
next season, had a pair of game-winning
buckets during the Peninsula Athletic
League Tournament last weekend. In a 48-46
win over Aragon in the semifinals Friday,
there were 28 seconds left in the game and
the ball in Cedeno’s hands. At about the 10-
THE DAILY JOURNAL
South City senior center Jerlene Miller had
fouled out of the game midway through the
fourth quarter, leaving Tasi to defend against
Hoyem. And while the initial defense was suc-
cessful as Hoyem missed a turnaround jumper,
the Bears’ 6-1 center battled for the offensive
rebound and converted while drawing the
foul, then hitting the free throw to put M-A up
58-57 with 28 seconds to go.
South City and M-A played most facets of
the game equally. The Warriors shot 41.5 per-
cent from the field, while the Bears shot 40.8
percent. M-A committed just one more
turnover than South City for a 16-15 differen-
tial. The Bears did substantially outrebound
South City 38-30.
But the difference-maker for the Warriors
was Cedeno, and with the shot clock off Big
Blue went to its superstar. And the three-time
PAL North Division MVP delivered a clutch
shot with a cool touch. With the clock run-
ning below 10 seconds, Cedeno took a pick-
and-roll around the left side and got airborne
over a single M-A defender to hit the game-
winning floater.
M-A has captured four previous PAL tourna-
ment titles — tying with Terra Nova for the
most in the tourney’s 19-year history — first
winning in 2008 before its recent three-peat
from ’15-17.
second mark, she began her attack. She put
the ball on the floor, drove down the right
side of the lane and flipped up a shot that
grazed off the backboard and fell through the
basket with 2.5 seconds to play.
In the championship game against M-A
Saturday night, it was Cedeno’s heroics
that snapped the Bears’ three-year reign as
PAL champs. The senior hit the game-win-
ning jump shot with 8.4 seconds left, giv-
ing the Warriors a 59-58 victory and their
first PAL Tournament title since 2000.
It continues to be a banner year for the
Half Moon Bay athletic program as the
Cougars added two more PAL titles over the
weekend. Friday, the HMB girls’ wrestling
team captured its first PAL team tournament
title. Saturday, the Cougars’ boys’ team won
its fifth straight tournament title, to go
along with their fifth dual meet title in a row.
The HMB girls had three wrestlers win
PAL titles. Daniela Corona became a three-
time league champ, winning the 143-pound
title. Hallie Beier, in her first year of
wrestling, took home the 162-pound
crown, while Morgan Sparks captured the
235-pound championship.
The Lady Cougars had eight other
wrestlers finish in second place.
On the boys’ side, only Luis Alcala won
an individual championship, besting all
others in the 115-pound bracket, but the
Cougars had podium finishes in the other
13 weight classes, meaning all 14
wrestlers qualified for the CCS tournament
this weekend.

MLB restructures pace of play rules
By Ronald BLum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Major League Baseball
has imposed stricter limits on mound vis-
its by players in an effort to speed games
but decided against 20-second pitch clocks
for 2018.
After more than a year of negotiations,
the Major League Baseball Players
Association refused to agree to the changes
but also signed an agreement that it will
not oppose the rules.
The amendments to the playing rules
announced Monday include a general limit
of six mound visits per nine-inning game
without a pitching change, whether by a
manager, coach or player.
“We’ll have to just figure out a more non-
verbal method of communication, ”
Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon said.
“We’re not going to be texting, I promise
you that, even if we could.”
Detroit catcher James McCann objected.
“Some people may say that a catcher vis-
iting with the pitcher isn’t a big deal,” he
said, “but what if you’ve already had five
mound visits and you got your closer on
the mound in the ninth inning, and you’re
facing the three and four hitters with guys
on second and third, bases loaded? You
can’t go out and talk to him?”
To assuage players’ concerns about sign
stealing, MLB will install new telephone
lines from dugouts to video replay rooms.
MLB said the lines will be monitored, and
a person familiar with the decision told The
Associated Press all conversations on the
lines will be recorded.
The person spoke on
condition of anonymity
because that detail was
not announced.
“If you’re really like
stealing signs from up
top with the video and
transmitting them
Rob Manfred somehow in that
more
nanosecond you’d be
concerned, ” Maddon said.
“Otherwise. It’ll just be entertaining. You
don’t even have to do that, you could run up
and down the tunnel.”
MLB has the right to make playing rules
changes absent an agreement with one year
notice and made proposals during the
2016-17 offseason for a pitch clock and
more restrictions on mound visits.
“My strong preference is to continue to
have ongoing dialogue with players on
this topic to find mutually acceptable solu-
tions,” Commissioner Rob Manfred said in
a statement.
Union head Tony Clark noted the sides
technically did not reach a deal.
“The focus on mound visits and/or the
level of commitment on the other pieces
simply didn’t focus enough attention on
the areas the players wanted to address —
so no agreement was reached,” he said in an
email to the AP.
“While a number of pitchers will
acknowledge that some mound visits are
unnecessary, a limitation combined with
what the experience has been of late in
regard to technologically enhanced sign
stealing means that there are concerns
about how this will work ... or not work.”
Until now, the only restriction on mound
visits was a second visit to the same pitch-
er during an inning by a manager or coach

Blood test to help diagnose brain injuries gets U.S. OK
By Lindsey Tanner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — The first blood test to help
doctors diagnose traumatic brain injuries
has won U.S. government approval.
The move means Banyan Biomarkers can
commercialize its test, giving the company
an early lead in the biotech industry’s race
to find a way to diagnose concussions.
The test doesn’t detect concussions and
the approval won’t immediately change
how patients with suspected concussions or
other brain trauma are treated. But
Wednesday’s green light by the Food and
Drug Administration “is a big deal because
then it opens the door and accelerates tech-
nology,” said Michael McCrea, a brain
injury expert at Medical College of
Wisconsin.
The test detects two proteins present in
brain cells that can leak into the blood-
stream following a blow to the head.
Banyan’s research shows the test can detect
them up within 12 hours of injury. It’s
designed to help doctors quickly determine
which patients with suspected concussions
may have brain bleeding or other brain
injury.
Patients with a positive test would need a
CT scan to confirm the results and determine
if surgery or other treatment is needed. The
test will first be used in emergency rooms,
possibly as soon as later this year, but
Banyan’s hope is that it will eventually be
used on battlefields and football fields.
FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb
said the test fits with the agency’s goals for
delivering new technologies to patients and
reducing unnecessary radiation exposure.
Traumatic brain injuries affect an estimated 10 million people globally each year; at least 2
million of them are treated in U.S. emergency rooms.They often get CT scans to detect bleeding
or other abnormalities.The scans expose patients to radiation, but in many patients with mild
brain injuries including concussions, abnormalities don’t show up on these imaging tests.
The test “sets the stage for a more mod-
ernized standard of care for testing of sus-
pected cases,” Gottlieb said in a statement.
Traumatic brain injuries affect an estimat-
ed 10 million people globally each year; at
least 2 million of them are treated in U.S.
emergency rooms. They often get CT scans
to detect bleeding or other abnormalities.
The scans expose patients to radiation, but
in many patients with mild brain injuries
including concussions, abnormalities don’t
show up on these imaging tests.
With Department of Defense funding,
Banyan’s research shows its Brain Trauma
Indicator can accurately pick up brain trau-
ma later found on CT scans. It also shows
that absence of the two proteins in the test
is a good indication that CT scans will be
normal. That means patients with negative
blood tests can avoid CT scans and unneces-
sary radiation exposure, said Dr. Jeffrey
Bazarian, a University of Rochester emer-
gency medicine professor involved in
Banyan’s research.
Bazarian called the test “a huge step”
toward devising a blood test that can detect
brain injuries including concussions.
Dr. Walter Koroshetz, director of the
National Institute of Neurological Disorders
and Stroke, and other brain injury experts
say the test isn’t sensitive enough to rule
out concussions.
“This may be a beginning. It’s not the pot
of gold at the end of the rainbow, ”
Koroshetz said.
That prize would be a test that could detect
and guide treatment for concussions and
traumatic brain injuries, similar to a blood
test that hospitals commonly use to evalu-
ate suspected heart attacks, Koroshetz said.
“That’s what we’d like to have for the
brain,” he said.
San Diego-based Banyan has partnered
with Abbott and French firm bioMerieux SA
to market the test to hospitals using those
companies’ blood analyzing machines.
Other companies are developing similar
blood tests to detect brain injuries.
BioDirection is developing a test involv-
ing one of the proteins in Banyan’s test
plus another one and using a portable device
that can yield results from a single drop of
blood in less than two minutes.
Quanterix is also working to develop a
blood test to diagnose concussions and
other brain injuries. It has licensed the use
of both proteins in Banyan’s test to be used
with its own technology.

STUDIOS
Continued from page 1
going far beyond the knitted accessories one
might expect expert needle crafters to pro-
duce. From transforming a tree trunk and
branches into the bright blue arms of a squid
in downtown San Mateo to securing the faces
of cute monsters on the benches outside San
Francisco’s Ferry Building, the Watts’ art
installations have spanned miles of surface
area in locations across the Bay Area.
So for the Watts, getting the chance to
spread their work out in one of 12 studios at
the Claremont Art Studios at 1515 S.
Claremont St. allows them to keep pace
with their expanding portfolio of projects.
Surrounded by spools of yarn in every color
imaginable and rows of neatly arranged
pairs of scissors, knitting and crocheting
needles, the sister team knows they’ve col-
lected a wide range of materials for their all-
encompassing projects over the years.
“We have too much yarn,” joked Jill
Watt, who lives in Foster City while her
sister Lorna Watt lives in San Mateo. “If we
didn’t have a place … there’s no way we’d
be able to fit all the stuff in our houses.”
TRUMP
Continued from page 1
One side of that debate was represented
outside the White House as dozens of teens
spread their bodies across the pavement to
symbolize the dead and call for stronger
gun controls, a precursor to a march in
Washington planned next month by sur-
vivors of the Parkland school shooting and
supporters of their cause.
At his Florida club just 40 miles from a
community ravaged by the shooting that
left 17 dead last week, Trump gave a nod
toward a specific policy action, with the
White House saying he had spoken Friday
to Sen. John Cornyn, a Texas Republican,
about a bipartisan bill designed to
strengthen the FBI database of prohibited
gun buyers.
Spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders
qualified the support, stressing that talks
continue and “revisions are being consid-
ered,” but said “the president is supportive
of efforts to improve the federal back-
LOCAL
When the sisters simultaneously redis-
covered a passion for knitting and crochet-
ing some six years ago, they were focused
on making small toys and gifts, such as
stuffed animals and ornaments, as well as
patterns allowing other artists to reproduce
their creations. But their inventiveness
soon brought them to experiment with a
different sort of project, the kind trans-
forming an everyday item like a mailbox
into an imaginary creature with birdlike
feet protruding from its legs.
It wasn’t until they discovered a concept
called “yarnbombing” on the internet a few
years ago that they realized their penchant
for piquing the public’s imagination had a
name, and that they would need a more ded-
icated working space, not only to fit all of
their materials, but also to inspire and
motivate them to continue their work.
“It helps you give your craft respect and
the space to focus on it,” said Lorna Watt.
In a studio across the hall from the Watts,
painter Mary Collins works on a wide range
of projects, everything from mixed media
projects with textured paper to color-filled
abstract paintings. In the 10 years Collins,
who is retired, has focused on her artwork,
she said she struggled to find the space and
quiet to make progress with her projects in
her Foster City home. So when she was able
ground check system.”
The main action Trump has taken on guns
in office has been to sign a resolution
blocking an Obama-era rule designed to
keep guns out of the hands of certain men-
tally disabled people. The president has
voiced strong support for gun rights and
the National Rifle Association.
The bipartisan background check legisla-
tion would be aimed at ensuring that federal
agencies and states accurately report rele-
vant criminal information to the FBI. It
was introduced after the Air Force failed to
report the criminal history of the gunman
who slaughtered more than two dozen peo-
ple at a Texas church.
The White House statement comes as
shooting survivors and other young people
press for more gun control in a rising cho-
rus of grief and activism. Their “March for
Our Lives” is planned March 24 in
Washington.
Ella Fesler, 16-year-old high school stu-
dent in Alexandria, Virginia, was among the
students at the “lie-in” in front of the White
House. She said it was time for change,
adding: “Every day when I say ‘bye’ to my
parents, I do acknowledge the fact that I
to begin renting a studio at the Claremont
Art Studios about a year ago, Collins was
excited about the possibilities the new
space would bring.
“It’s great that I was able to clean out my
garage,” she said, adding that she had pre-
viously tried working out of an empty
space in a larger office building. “People
were on the phones all day, I wasn’t
inspired.”
In the bright showroom in the front of
the building facing Claremont Street,
artists have been able to show their work in
private shows and also with anyone who
walks into the studios, said Collins. She
added the collaborative community work-
ing on portraits, photography and abstract
art, among other types of projects, plays a
big role in how much she enjoys working
in the space, among other similarly focused
on their artwork.
Though Kevin Phillips, the landlord for
the studios, has experience managing other
commercial and residential projects, set-
ting up the 5,559-square-foot space for
artists was a first. When he and his partners
bought the building in 2012, they had no
intention of creating studios but, because it
was zoned for high-density housing, soon
found their options were limited when it
came to transforming the building, which
could never see my parents again.”
But previous gun tragedies have not pro-
duced action in Congress. After the Las
Vegas massacre in the fall, Republicans and
Democrats in Congress talked about taking
a rare step to tighten the nation’s gun laws.
Four months later, the only gun legislation
that has moved in the House or Senate
instead eases restrictions for gun owners.
Kristin Brown, co-president of the Brady
Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, said
the measure Trump discussed with Cornyn
would help to enforce existing rules but
would not close loopholes permitting
loose private sales on the internet and at
gun shows. She’s pressing for a ban on
assault-type weapons and for laws enabling
family members, guardians or police to ask
judges to strip gun rights temporarily from
people who show warning signs of vio-
lence.
“We need a comprehensive system, ”
Brown said. “One of these isn’t enough.”
Trump, who visited first responders and
some victims Friday, has focused his com-
ments on mental health, rather than guns.
The White House says the president will
host a “listening session” with students
“Best dentist I have ever been to! Caring and knows
what he is doing. Like everything about him.”

Having seen interesting clusters of artist
studios at other locations across the Bay
Area, Phillips said he and his partners
decided to see what it would be like to
organize the space into three 250-square-
foot and nine 200-square-foot studios.
Since they started renting the spaces to
artists in 2013, Phillips said he’s been
overwhelmed by the interest in them from
those working on silkscreen T-shirts,
architectural projects and metal-working,
among other artwork.
“We love this building, we love the proj-
ect,” he said. “We think it’s just a really
cool thing for the community.”
Though the studios are available for rent
on a month-to-month basis, Phillips said
many of the artists who work there current-
ly have stayed for years and tend to be part-
time artists or hobbyists. By renting them
out at rates around $500 to $600 a month,
Phillips is hoping they continue to find the
space they need to continue their work at
affordable rates.
And for artists like Collins, just a little
bit of freedom from the practicalities of the
work can make all the difference.

totally so easy to spend hours here.”

But they have offered no further details on
who will attend those sessions.
Trump spent most of his weekend at his
private Palm Beach estate, Mar-a-Lago.
White House aides advised against golfing
too soon after the shooting. But on
President’s Day, the avid golfer headed to
his nearby golf club. The White House did
not immediately answer questions about
whether he was playing golf.
President Barack Obama took heavy crit-
icism in 2014 when he went golfing during
a vacation just minutes after denouncing
the militants who had beheaded an
American journalist. He later regretted
playing golf so soon after the killing.
Trump watched cable television news dur-
ing the weekend and groused to club mem-
bers and advisers about the investigation of
Russian election meddling.
In a marathon series of furious weekend
tweets from Mar-a-Lago, Trump vented
about Russia, raging at the FBI for what he
perceived to be a fixation on the Russia
investigation at the cost of failing to deter
the attack.

Hard falls at Olympics but no

hard rules about concussions
By Eddie Pells
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PYEONGCHANG, South Korea — At the
bottom of the Olympic aerials landing hill,
where crashes are common and the term
“slap back” is part of the everyday lingo,
skiers spend almost as much time figuring
out how to protect their heads as they do
working on all those flips and spins.
“We learn how to fall,” U.S. jumper Jon
Lillis said.
Elsewhere around the action-sports
venue, that’s not so much the case.
Concussion dangers lurk everywhere —
from the iced-over deck of the halfpipe, to
the steeply pitched landings on the
slopestyle course, to the careening twists
and turns of the snowboardcross track, to
the aerials course, where “slap back” is the
term for when a skier’s head slaps back-
ward against the snow. But at the
Olympics, there are no hard-and-fast rules
regarding who diagnoses head injuries, and
no hard-and-fast protocol that athletes
must clear to be allowed back on the slopes
after a concussion.
“A bit concerning, ” says neurologist
Kevin Weber of the Ohio State Wexner
Medical Center. “Because you worry that
athletes in other sports that may not be as
popular as football are getting, I wouldn’t
say ignored, but the concussions they’re
getting are under-scrutinized.”
The most telling example of this came
Saturday in the women’s ski slopestyle
contest, where silver medalist Mathilde
Gremaud of Switzerland described a train-
ing accident in which she hit her head, lost
her memory and dealt with lingering
headaches the next day. Her description
was followed quickly by an explanation
from the Swiss team doctor, who said
Gremaud checked out free of concussion
symptoms and was cleared to compete the
day after the wreck.
“The idea that she overcame what
appeared to be a concussion and raced 36
hours later and won silver is not a feel-
good story,” said Chris Nowinski, founder
of the Concussion Legacy Foundation. “I
think it’s a ‘Thank God She Survived’
story. It’s a shame she was out there.”
The NFL has come under withering criti-
cism for its handling of concussions over the
decades. It has tried, not all that successfully,

lingering headaches the next day. Her description was followed quickly by an explanation from

was cleared to compete the day after the wreck.
to strengthen its protocol. Neurologists
independent of the teams are required to be at
every game, and players are supposed to go
through a strict battery of tests before they’re
allowed back on the field.
That system has failed the players time
and again, yet for all its weaknesses, it
appears a fuller and better-thought-out
plan than what’s in place for the
International Ski Federation (FIS), which
runs all the ski and snowboard events at
the Olympics.
FIS has a 12-page booklet with thorough
instructions on how to diagnose concus-
sions. But ultimately, team doctors are
given authority to clear their athletes. A
FIS spokeswoman said it wasn’t practical
to have independent neurologists at the
wide array of events it conducts each week-
end during the winter.
The IOC, which has ultimate authority
over the Olympics, said its protocol is
based on a 2016 medical paper that was
compiled by more than 20 experts and rep-

evaluations be done by an independent doc-
tor.
“It can set it up for some awkward situa-
tions” in which team doctors who are close
to the athletes have to make decisions about
their availability, Weber said. “But it’s no
different from the overwhelming majority
of sports, where it’s the team physicians
who are the ones evaluating for concus-
sions.”
This is hardly a new topic for world-class
skiing and snowboarding.
A FIS study of all its disciplines —
Alpine, freestyle, snowboarding, ski jump-
ing and cross-country — found that about
10 percent of the 3009 injuries charted from
2006-16 involved concussions or neuro-
logical damage.
‘’It’s definitely prevalent, ” American
Alpine skier Ted Ligety said. “Guys are tak-
ing high-speed falls. It’s something we’re
all aware of.”
Some of the biggest stars in snow sports
have had some of the worst injuries. The
story underlying Shaun White’s gold medal
last week was his comeback from a massive
crash during training in October that split
his lip open and required 62 stitches to
repair. Iouri Podladtchikov, the 2014
Olympic halfpipe champion, missed the
Pyeongchang Games because of a scary fall
he took in a competition a few weeks earli-
er.
The death of halfpipe skier Sarah Burke
and the brain injury suffered by snowboard-
er Kevin Pearce stand as the seminal warn-
ings about the dangers of these sports.
While it’s hard to predict where most of
the injuries might come in most of their
runs, the point of impact is the same on an
aerials course, where there is a single land-
ing hill that is stacked with loads of cushy
snow to try to dampen the impact.
Lillis, the aerialist, said team doctors are
an athlete’s best line of defense, and “you
depend on the medical staff to not put you in
jeopardy.”
But the doctor isn’t their only line of
defense.
“If you hit your head, you have to be hon-
est,” he said. “Ultimately, if you’re not,
that’s on you. The athlete has to, at all
times, hold some of the responsibility.”

Turkey warns as Syrian government poised to enter Afrin
By Zeina Kram and Bassem Mroue
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIRUT — Turkey warned the Syrian gov-
ernment Monday against entering the
Kurdish-controlled enclave in northern
Syria where a major Turkish military offen-
sive is underway, saying it would hit back at
the troops if their goal is to protect the
Kurdish fighters.
The warning sets up a potential clash
between Turkish troops and Syrian govern-
ment forces backed by Russia and Iran,
whose deployment would be a first step
toward restoring President Bashar Assad’s
presence along the border with Turkey.
The warning by the Turkish foreign min-
ister came shortly after Syrian state media
said pro-government forces would enter
Afrin “within hours” to “bolster” local
forces in confronting Turkey’s “aggres-
sion” after reaching an agreement with the
Kurdish militia known as the People’s
Protection Units, or YPG, which controls
Afrin.
Details of the deal were not announced by
either side, and Kurdish officials said talks
were still underway. By nightfall, no troops
had entered Afrin.
Assad’s troops have had no presence in
Oxfam says staff intimidated witnesses in Haiti sex scandal
By Danica Kirka
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — Oxfam workers suspected of
sexual misconduct in Haiti intimidated and
threatened a witness as the charity investi-
gated the original claims, according to the
organization’s report on the internal inquiry.
The findings were part of a previously
confidential report released by Oxfam on
Monday as the charity responds to newspa-
per stories suggesting it covered up allega-
WORLD
Turkish-backed Free Syrian Army fighters are seen near the city of Afrin, Syria.
Afrin since they pulled out of most of north-
ern Syria in 2012, as nation-wide protests
against Assad transformed into a civil war.
A return to the area, where a potent mix of
regional and international powers have

cate the situation and lead to unwanted con-
frontations.
tions that seven employees used prostitutes
on the charity’s property while working in
Haiti after the 2010 earthquake that devas-
tated the country.
“We are making this exceptional publica-
tion because we want to be as transparent as
possible about the decisions we made dur-
ing this particular investigation and in
recognition of the breach of trust that has
been caused,” the charity said in a state-
ment. “We are also meeting with the gov-
ernment of Haiti to apologize for our mis-
REUTERS
But depending on the details of the agree-
ment, it may also serve to defuse the situa-
tion in Afrin, where Turkey has been strug-
gling to achieve results in its now month-
long offensive to push back YPG fighters
from its borders.
Ankara considers the YPG a “terrorist
group” linked to the Kurdish insurgency
takes and discuss what more we can do,
including for the women affected by these
events.”
Simon Ticehurst, Oxfam director for Latin
America and the Caribbean, met Monday
with Haiti’s external planning minister and
other officials. Ticehurst said he had shared
the report and expressed “our shame and
apologies to the Haitian government and to
the Haitian people.”
Publication of the report comes as Oxfam
seeks to move past the scandal after the
THE DAILY JOURNAL
within Turkey’s borders. On Jan. 20, it
launched a major air and ground offensive,
pounding the enclave with airstrikes and
artillery on a daily basis.
Turkey’s foreign minister, speaking at a
news conference in Amman, Jordan, said
Turkey would have no problem if Syrian
government forces were entering Afrin to
clear the area from YPG fighters, but that it
would strike back if it turns out the deploy-
ment was meant to shore up the Kurds
against Turkey.
“If the regime is entering to protect the
YPG, then no one can stop us, stop Turkey
or the Turkish soldiers,” Mevlut Cavusoglu
said.
Turkey’s Deputy Prime Minister Bekir
Bozdag later denied the Syrian state media
reports, saying they were “false” and had
“not been confirmed by authorities.” He
added, however, that any move to protect
the Kurdish fighters would be a “disaster”
for the region.
Turkey has supported rebels fighting to
overthrow Assad throughout the seven-year
civil war, but in recent years has focused
more on trying to contain the Kurds.
Government troops deployed along its bor-
ders, at this point, may be more palatable
for Ankara than the continued presence of
the powerful YPG.
British government on Friday suspended
new funding to Oxfam’s British affiliate.
Oxfam Great Britain received 31.7 million
pounds ($43.8 million) from the govern-
ment in the 12 months through March 31,
2017, or about 8 percent of its revenue.
Oxfam’s report shows the investigation
was triggered by an email alleging that staff
members in Haiti had violated the organiza-
tion’s code of conduct by using prostitutes
in Oxfam guesthouses and engaging in
fraud, nepotism and negligence.
