The San Mateo Planning Commission reviewed property owner Bohannon Development Company’s second pre-application to demolish the Sears building and construct atop the surface parking lot lining El Camino Real north of 31st Avenue. While neighbors and commissioners appreciated the new proposal including smaller buildings and open-air plazas, traffic and parking concerns remained. Bohannon abandoned its 2013 plans to make room for a three-story Target and has since proceeded with public outreach to create a walkable, upscale gathering place at the 12.5-acre site. “We like this.

According to Golden Gate National Recreation Area spokeswoman Alexandra Picavet, two passersby stopped to help the sea lion pup when they spotted it on the edge of Skyline Boulevard just south of the turnoff to Great Highway. The pup had crossed Skyline Boulevard and was nearing Lake Merced when he was spotted. At about 7:10 a. m. , a National Park Service ranger was driving along Skyline Boulevard when he witnessed the pair trying to protect the pup. The ranger stopped his vehicle and assisted the two good Samaritans on the side of the road, according to Picavet. The ranger positioned his vehicle in the Percevero is one of 115 California sea lion pups that are being treated at the Marine Mammal Center for being underweight. lane of traffic to ensure no passing vehicles struck the sea lion. The group loaded the pup into a plastic tote for transport. Picavet said the sea lion was combative during the rescue and even bit the blankets that the ranger was using to guide the pup into the tote. However, once the sea lion was safely contained, the ranger was able to transport it to the Marine Mammal Center in the Marin Headlands. The young pup has been named Percevero and is one of 115 California sea lion pups that are being treated at the Marine Mammal Center for being underweight. Percevero weighs 28 pounds, instead of a normal weight of around 40 pounds, Picavet said. While there are no visible injuries, the sea lion pup is receiving medical assessment and treatment at the Marine Mammal Center, according to Picavet. According to the Marine Mammal Center, this is the third year in a row that the center is seeing unusual numbers of sea lion pups stranded and starving. DAILY JOURNAL STAFF Bound by state and federal laws governing cellphone utilities, the Belmont City Council voted to allow AT&T to keep an existing wireless facility in a residential neighborhood and avoid the possibility of the mobile giant trying to negotiate a deal to locate on a private residence. The council opted to overturn the Planning Commission’s denial of AT&T’s request and allow it to modify a utility pole in the public right-of-way on Notre Dame Avenue that is now overwrought with wires, boxes and equipment, not all of which were approved by the city. AT&T initially received approval to operate a wireless facility mounted on the public utility pole in 2006, however, it has made considerable additions to expand coverage and keep with changing technology, according to a video of Tuesday’s council meeting. Yet the company failed to obtain entitlements from the city before making the changes residents say are an eyesore and, in 2010, Belmont officials ordered they bring it up to code. In May 2013, AT&T turned to the city with a proposal to consolidate the ancillary equipment, paint it brown to match the wood pole and place underground most of the existing overhead cable wires crossing Notre Dame Avenue, according to a city staff report. In December, the Planning Commission denied its request along with an alternate proposal to relocate the wireless equipment onto a private residence at 1920 Notre Dame Ave. While wireless facilities are allowed in the public right-of-way, they are generally precluded from locating on private singlefamily residential properties and AT&T’s proposal would have been a first. After the council agreed to let it keep equipment atop the current pole, AT&T withdrew its request to relocate on the neighboring property. Al t h o ug h t h e co un ci l memb ers were frustrated with AT&T’s actions, they are bound by rules supporting wireless facilities such as the California Public Utility Code as well as federal laws such as the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and the Mi ddl e Cl as s Tax Rel i ef an d J o b s 3 Police reports Going through withdrawals A woman made a deposit at a bank on Ralston Avenue in Belmont and, after she left, the person behind her stole $500 from the account before 12:58 p.m. Friday, Feb. 6.

Commuter with measles prompts BART warning Officials in Northern California on Wednesday warned Bay Area Rapid Transit commuters that they may have been exposed to measles. Contra Costa County public health officials say someone was diagnosed with the disease after riding BART trains between Lafayette and San Francisco during the morning and evening commutes Feb. 4 through Feb. 6. Officials said Wednesday that the patient also dined at E&O Kitchen and Bar on Feb. 4. The state Department of Public Health said it does not know how many San Francisco Bay Area residents have measles vaccines. The number of parents declining to vaccinate their children has risen in the region — and the country — in recent years, though the majority is vaccinated. Health officials said Wednesday that those without vaccinations who came into contact with the BART commuter are a “high risk” of coming down with measles. People displaying symptoms are urged to seek medical attention immediately. Symptoms include high fever, runny noses, coughing and watery red eyes and can begin from one to three weeks after exposure. An infected person is contagious for several days before and after the rash appears. Health officials say the risk of vaccinated commuters contracting measles is “highly unlikely.” SouthHarbor WATERFRONT RESTAURANT & BAR Great Food, beautiful views overlooking The Oyster Point Marina & San Francisco Bay!

Gavin Newsom, who gained national attention as mayor of San Francisco for ordering then-illegal gay marriage licenses to be issued, said Wednesday that he will begin raising money to run for governor in 2018, a position he has long sought. The announcement from the 47-year-old Democrat comes just a few months after he was re-elected to a second four-year term as the state’s second-highest elected official. Newsom said last month that he would not pursue a U.S. Senate seat, creating anticipation he would seek the state’s top post. Newsom has been a controversial national figure since 2004 when he ordered the San Francisco city clerk to ignore state law at the time and give marriage licenses to gay couples. Newsom served seven years as mayor. In an interview Wednesday, Newsom said he will spend the next few years raising money and devising “a grand strategy” to restore California’s greatness. He said Gov. Jerry Brown deserves credit for restoring the state’s fiscal solvency, and the next step is a vision for its future. Partial West Coast port shutdown looms; contract talks stall LOS ANGELES — Troubles on the West Coast waterfront are getting worse. Amid an increasingly damaging labor dispute, 29 West Coast seaports which handle about $1 trillion of goods annually will be mostly closed four of the next five days. The announcement came Wednesday from the association representing companies that operate marine terminals where dockworkers move containers of goods on and off massive ocean-going vessels, eventually transferring the containers onto trucks or trains for distribution nationwide. Companies said they won’t hire crews to load or unload ships Thursday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday — when they’d have to pay Presidents Day holiday or weekend “I want to take the time to do it right. One thing you can’t manufacture is time, and you can’t get it back. So many mistakes in politics and in campaigns are made because of those constraints,” Newsom said. “And I want the opportunity to look out in to the future with a different perspective, with a more sustainable perspective.” Opening a campaign committee nearly four years before the election allows Newsom to begin collecting large checks, boost his name recognition and portray himself as the front-runner. He has more than $3 million remaining in his campaign account for lieutenant governor after cruising to re-election in November. “He is, I think, trying to clear the field,” said Sherry Bebitch-Jeffe, a senior political science fellow at the University of Southern California. “He’s going to need to get name recognition. If he’s serious, he’s made his decision, he wants to run, the earlier he’s out there, the more likely he is to gain name recognition.” Other potential Democratic candidates Gavin Newsom last year became the highest-ranking Democrat to challenge Gov. Jerry Brown’s include former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio $68 billion high-speed rail project, saying he no longer backs the bullet train and would like Villaraigosa, who is said to be weighing a bid to see the money diverted to more pressing infrastructure needs. for U.S. Senate, and billionaire climate activist Tom Steyer, who opted not to run for Obituary Senate. Around the Bay wages to dockworkers they accuse of slowing their work to gain leverage in contract talks. Employers do not want to pay hourly rates that are at least 50 percent above normal, which would bring a few of the highest-paid dockworkers to close to $100 per hour, according to Steve Getzug, a spokesman for the Pacific Maritime Association. Instead, terminal operators could decide to hire smaller crews that would focus on moving already-unloaded containers into the flow of commerce. Full crews would still service military and cruise ships, and any cargo ships bound for Hawaii — but these are small operations compared to work on container ships that are as long as some skyscrapers are tall.

THE DAILY JOURNAL Gitmo prison closure hampered by freed detainee’s turn to IS By Deb Riechmann THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — During six years behind bars at Guantanamo Bay, Abdul Rauf insisted he was a lowly Taliban foot soldier who delivered bread and tea to combatants, even though he was really a corps commander. He was released in 2007 and sent home to Afghanistan. Until this week, he was working as the top recruiter in Afghanistan for Islamic State militants. Rauf, who was killed along with seven others in a U.S. drone strike on Monday, and detainees like him who have returned to the battlefield are complicating President Barack Obama’s hopes of closing the detention center for terrorism suspects on the U.S. Navy base in Cuba. The administration says the prison is costly, damages America’s relationship with key allies and provides extremists a propaganda tool to woo recruits. Obama has vowed since he was a presidential candidate to close the detention center, but members of Congress have thwarted that ambition, saying the detainees would return to the fight. They also have argued that governments where the detainees would be released in the region couldn’t be expected to keep track of them and prevent them from becoming active again. Besides Rauf, one or more of the five Taliban detainees swapped for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl may have already been in touch with members of the al-Qaida-linked Haqqani network. Qatari officials promised REUTERS Sen. Richard Burr, center, flanked by Sen. John McCain, left, and Senator Kelly Ayotte speaks at a news conference to talk about new legislation to restrict prisoner transfers from the detention center at Guantanamo Bay. to monitor the five former Taliban officials’ activities and keep them from traveling outside Qatar for a year. That year ends May 31 and lawmakers are wondering what will happen to them. White House spokesman Josh Earnest has said the five are still in Qatar, but he says efforts to keep them from working with terror organizations “have been updated” to reflect concerns about their contacts. Qatari Foreign Minister Khalid bin Mohammed alAttiyah said at an event in Washington last week that the five continue to be closely monitored. Those reassurances have not satisfied Republican lawmakers, especially in light of confirmation Tuesday of Rauf’s death. “The fact that Abdul Rauf, a former Guantanamo detainee, was acting as a recruiter for IS in Afghanistan underscores the danger of releasing detainees without sufficient assurances that they won’t reengage in terrorism, ” said Sen.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama heralded a “new phase in the fight” against Ebola on Wednesday and said progress against the outbreak in West Africa will allow the U.S. to withdraw nearly all American troops sent to Liberia last fall. He cautioned the mission was not over, and he set an ambitious goal of eliminating the disease. “We have risen to the challenge,” he said at the White House. “Our focus now is getting to zero.” Obama said only 100 of the 2,800 troops sent to Liberia will remain there after April 30. About 1,500 have returned home. Those staying will work with Liberia’s military, regional partners and U.S. civilians.

.BUFP CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Police are trying to determine whether hate played any role in the killing of three Muslims, a crime they said was sparked by a neighbor’s long-simmering anger over parking and noise inside their condominium complex. Craig Stephen Hicks, 46, describes himself as a “gun toting” atheist. Neighbors say he always seemed angry and confrontational. His ex-wife said he was obsessed with the shooting-rampage movie “Falling Down,” and showed “no compassion at all” for other people. His current wife, Karen Hicks, said he “champions the rights of others” and said the killings “had nothing do with religion or the victims’ faith.” Later Wednesday, she issued another statement, saying she’s divorcing him. Hicks appeared in court Wednesday on charges of first-degree murder in the deaths Tuesday of Deah Shaddy Barakat, 23, his wife Yusor Mohammad, 21, and her sister Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19. He pleaded indigence and was appointed a public defender. Officers were summoned by a neighbor who called 911 reporting five to 10 shots and the sound of people screaming. The women’s father, Mohammad AbuSalha, said police told him each was shot in the head inside the couple’s apartment, and that he, for one, is convinced it was a hate crime. “The media here bombards the American citizen with Islamic, Islamic, Islamic terrorism and makes people here scared of us and hate us and want us out. So if somebody has any conflict with you, and they already hate you, you get a bullet in the head,” said AbuSalha, who is a psychiatrist. The killings are fueling outrage among people who blame anti-Muslim rhetoric for hate crimes. A Muslim advocacy organization pressed authorities to investigate possible religious bias. 8 NATION Thursday • Feb. 12, 2015 THE DAILY JOURNAL Obama wants fresh war powers, says IS group ‘going to lose’ By David Espo and Nedra Pickler THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Vowing that Islamic State forces are “going to lose,” President Barack Obama urged Congress on Wednesday to authorize military action against terrorists who are cutting a swath across the Middle East. Yet he ruled out large-scale U.S. ground combat operations reminiscent of Iraq and Afghanistan. “I’m convinced that the United States should not get dragged back into another prolonged ground war,” the president said at the White House as he set Congress on a path to its first war-powers vote in 13 years. Despite his words of reassurance, initial reaction in Congress amounted to bipartisan skepticism, with much of the dissatisfaction centered on his attempt to find a political middle ground with respect to ground forces. Republicans expressed unhappiness that he had chosen to exclude any long-term commitment of ground forces, while some Democrats voiced dismay that he had opened the door to deployment at all. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., also said Obama had ruled out air sup- port for U.S.-trained rebels battling Syrian President Bashar Assad, adding, “That’s immoral.” Under Obama’s proposal, the use of military force against Islamic State fighters would be authorized for three years, unbounded by national borders. The fight could be extended to any “closely related successor entity” to the Islamic State organization that has overrun parts of Iraq and Syria, imposed a stern form of Sharia law and killed several hostages it has taken, Americans among them. “Make no mistake. This is a difficult mission,” Obama said in seeking action against a group that he said threatens America’s own security. He said it will take time to dislodge the terrorists, especially from urban areas. “But our coalition is on the offensive. ISIL is on the defensive, and ISIL is going to lose.” The 2002 congressional authorization that preceded the Americanled invasion of Iraq would be repealed under the White House proposal, a step some Republicans were unhappy to see. But a separate authorization that was approved by Congress after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks would remain in force, to the consternation of some Democrats. At the heart of the debate, the REUTERS Barack Obama delivers a statement on legislation sent to Congress to authorize the use of military force against the Islamic State from the Roosevelt Room at the White House in Washington, D.C. struggle to define any role for American ground forces is likely to determine the outcome of the administration’s request for legislation. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the proposal was intentionally ambiguous on that point to give the president flexibility, although the approach also was an attempt to bridge a deep divide in Congress. While asking lawmakers to bar long-term, large-scale ground combat operations like those in Afghanistan and Iraq, Obama said he wants the flexibility for ground combat operations “in other more limited circumstances.” Those include rescue missions, intelligence collection and the use of special operations forces in possible military action against Islamic State leaders. While he proposed legislation to terminate in three years, Obama said, “It is not a timetable. It is not announcing that the mission is completed at any given period. What it is saying is that Congress should revisit the issue at the beginning of the next president’s term.” Whatever the outcome, Obama’s request puts Congress on the path toward a vote that could reverberate unpredictably for years. A post-9/11 request from thenPresident George W. Bush for authorization to use military force against Iraq was intensely controversial, and it played a role in Obama’s successful campaign for the White House in 2008. His chief rival for the Democratic nomination, then-New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, voted in favor of the Bush proposal. Obama, who was not in Congress at the time of the vote, said later he would have opposed it, and he made it an issue in the presidential race. Congress clears Keystone XL pipeline bill, setting up veto By Dina Cappiello THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The Republican-controlled Congress approved a bill Wednesday to construct the Keystone XL oil pipeline, setting up a confrontation with President Barack Obama, who has threatened to veto the measure. The House voted 270-152 to send the bill to the president, endorsing changes made by the Senate that stated climate change was real and not a hoax, and oil sands should no longer be exempt from a tax used to cleanup oil spills. Only one Republican voted against the measure. But neither chamber has enough support to overcome a veto, and supporters were already strategizing on how to secure the pipeline’s approval using other legislative means. “The evidence is in. The case ought to be closed,” said Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. For Republicans, the bill’s passage capped weeks of debate on a top priority after they took control of Congress last month. Hours before the vote, they prodded Democrats who did not take their side. Demo crat s , mean wh i l e, called the effort a waste of time b ut s ai d t h e provisions on g l o b al warm- i n g an d o i l s s p i l l s mark ed p ro g res s fo r Rep ub l i can s o n those issues. Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Fla. , said the bill was another example of Republicans prioritizing legislation to demonstrate a message, regardless of its chances of becoming law. The vote Wednesday marked the 11th attempt by Republicans to advance the pipeline. “The last few years have been like a hamster on a wheel — spinning and spinning and not getting anywhere,” said Hastings, who at one point held up a toy that looked like the rodent. First proposed in 2008, the pipeline has come to symbolize the differences between the parties on energy and environmental matters, and it is likely to be the first of many skirmishes with the White House. Republicans and the oil industry have argued the $8 billion infrastructure project is about jobs and boosting energy security, by importing oil from a friendly neighbor and shipping it to domestic refineries subject to stringent environmental regulations. WORLD THE DAILY JOURNAL Thursday • Feb. 12, 2015 9 Leaders in Minsk for crucial Ukraine peace talks By Yuras Karamanau Deal’s sticking points THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MINSK, Belarus — The leaders of France, Germany, Russia and Ukraine negotiated into the early hours Thursday to try to find a way to halt the fighting in eastern Ukraine that has killed more than 5,300 people. The talks on ending the conflict between Ukrainian forces and Russia-backed separatist rebels came amid intense anxiety over the sharp spike in fighting in recent weeks, as Europe nervously awaits word on whether Washington will send lethal aid to Ukraine and as Russia’s economy deteriorates under sanctions imposed by the West. In a diplomatic blitz that began last week, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande visited Kiev and Moscow to speak to Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and Russian President Vladimir Putin, paving the way for the talks in the Belarusian capital, Minsk. “The entire world is waiting to see whether the situation moves toward deescalation, weapons pullback, cease-fire, or . . . spins out of control, ” Poroshenko Britain starts public trial of driverless cars LONDON — Driverless cars are hitting Britain’s public roads for the first time, giving a glimpse of future travel that’s billed as safer and more efficient. Britain unveiled four prototype selfdrive cars Wednesday, launching the country’s first public trials ahead of a series of planned rule reviews to accommodate the new technology.

Costa Concordia captain sentenced to 16 years in prison GROSSETO, Italy — The captain of the shipwrecked Costa Concordia cruise ship was convicted Wednesday of multiple charges of manslaughter and sentenced to 16 years in jail, Italian court officials said. Francesco Schettino was convicted of manslaughter in the deaths of 32 passengers and crew in the Jan. 13, 2012 capsizing as well as of causing a shipwreck and abandoning ship while many of the 4,200 passengers and crew were still on the ship. The verdict and sentencing brought an end to a trial that has been running since July 2013. Prosecutors had insisted Schettino was a “reckless idiot” and asked the court to sentence him to 26 years and three months in prison. Schettino wasn’t present when Judge Giovanni Puliatti read out the verdict Wednesday night in a Grosseto theater, but the former captain told the court earlier he was being “sacrificed” to safeguard the economic interests of his employer. 10 BUSINESS Thursday • Feb. 12, 2015 THE DAILY JOURNAL Stocks flat as Greek debt meeting begins By Kan Sweet THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Dow 17,862.14 Nasdaq 4,801.18 S&P 500 2,068.53 -6.62 +13.54 -0.06 10-Yr Bond 1.99 -0.003 Oil (per barrel) 49.39 Gold 1,217.00 Big movers Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market: NYSE Rite Aid Corp., up 50 cents to $8.08 The drugstore operator is expanding into managing pharmacy benefits with the $2 billion cash-and-stock purchase of EnvisionRx.

The Bears finished each half with a flourish, however, as they stomped the Cherokees 6-1, avenging a 1-0 loss to Sequoia Jan. 16. “We knew we could score,” said M-A striker Mario Rodriguez, who recorded a hat trick. “Just based on the way we’ve been playing.” M-A (9-2 PAL Bay, 12-3 overall) scored three goals in each half against Sequoia and have been on a goal-scoring tear of late. In the Bears’ last two games, they have outscored their opponents 14-1. They have scored four or more goals in four of their last five games. More importantly, however, the win moves the Bears closer to the Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division championship. Going into Wednesday’s game, MA had a one-point lead over second-place Burlingame. “Obviously, every game we can stay in front, the better the situation is for us,” said M-A coach Jacob Pickard. Sequoia (6-4-1) controlled the action for the first 10 minutes of each half before M-A methodically turned the tables and dominated the final 30 minutes. In the first half, M-A had several quality looks, but came up empty early on. But once the Bears scored in the 28th minute, the floodgates opened as they scored three goals during an eight minute span. Rodriguez opened the scoring for the Bears off a corner kick in the 28th minute. Kyle Smith served the cross to the far right post and found a lurking Rodriguez, who headed it home for a 1-0 lead. The Bears doubled their lead five minutes later, again off a corner kick. This time, however, Kyle Bryan had to work a bit harder.

Former UNLV coach Jerry Tarkanian dies By Tim Dahlberg THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LAS VEGAS — He couldn’t stop fighting the NCAA any more than he could give up chewing towels courtside. Jerry Tarkanian built a basketball dynasty in the desert, but it was his decades-long battle with the NCAA that defined him far more than the wins and losses. The coach who won a national title at UNLV and made the school synonymous with basketball died Wednesday after several years of health issues. He was 84. Tarkanian put the run in the Runnin’ Rebels, taking them to four Final Fours and winning a national championship in 1990 with one of the most dominant college teams ever. His teams were as flamboyant as the city, with light shows and fireworks for pregame introductions and celebrities jockeying for position on the so-called Gucci Row courtside. He ended up beating the NCAA, too, collecting a $2. 5 million settlement after suing the organization for trying to run him Aragon’s Sell is honored by CIF out of college basketball. But he was bitter to the end about the way the NCAA treated him while coaching. ‘’They’ve been my tormentors my whole life,” Tarkanian said at his retirement news conferJerry Tarkanian ence in 2002. ‘’It will never stop.” The night before he died, fans attending UNLV’s game against Fresno State draped towels over the statue of Tarkanian outside the campus arena that depicts Tarkanian chewing on one of his famous towels. Tarkanian’s wife, Lois, said her husband — hospitalized Monday with an infection and breathing difficulties — fought health problems for the last six years with the same “courage and tenacity” he showed throughout his life. His death came just days after the death of another Hall of Fame coach, North Carolina’s Dean Smith. “Our hearts are broken but filled with See TARK, Page 15 ragon football coach Steve Sell was named the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Model Coach of the Year for football, it was announced Wednesday. According the CIF website, “A model coach must have demonstrated and taught the six core ethical values: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and good citizenship.” More importantly, to be considered, a coach must have a minimum of 10 years of active coaching at the high school level. Sell is the third Aragon coach to be honored. Girls’ basketball coach Annette GennaroTrimble received the award in 2009, while cross country and track and field coach Bill Daskarolis was honored in 2012. “You’re always pleasantly surprised when you get honored like this,” Sell said. Sell, who also serves as Aragon’s athletic director and teaches physical education, checks all the boxes. A 1984 graduate of Aragon, Sell played a year of football and two years of rugby at St. Mary’s College before returning to Aragon in 1989 to serve as an assistant coach under the legendary Britt Williams. He took over the varsity football program in 2000 and has compiled a record of 10847-1 in his 14 seasons. “Coach Sell is an excellent role model as he lives and breathes Aragon’s foundation of respect to self, teammates, peers, community and family. He epitomizes what one wants in their coach and athletic director,” the CIF said in a press release. And Sell is just as concerned about what happens in the Peninsula Athletic League and the Central Coast Section. See LOUNGE, Page 14 Celebrated Little League team stripped of U.S. title By Don Babwin THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO — A Little League team that captured the attention of the nation and the hearts of its hometown was stripped of its national title Wednesday after an investigation revealed that team officials had falsified boundaries so they could add ineligible players to the roster. Only last summer, the all-black Jackie Robinson West team was the toast of Chicago and was honored with trips to San Francisco and to the White House. But the sport’s governing body announced that team officials had engaged in a Little League version of political gerrymandering. Instead of politicians redrawing district maps to pick up votes, it was local league officials who changed the boundaries that determined where players must live. And after learning that their scheme had been exposed, they scrambled to persuade surrounding leagues to go along with what they had done. “This is so heartbreaking,” said Stephen D. Keener, president and CEO of Little League International. “It is a sad day for a bunch of kids who we have come to really like ... who did nothing wrong.” But “we cannot tolerate the actions of some of the adults involved here.” The organization suspended the manager, Darold Butler, and suspended the team from Little League tournament play until the local league’s president and treasurer have been replaced. A district official who is believed to have helped change the boundaries was also removed. All of the team’s victories were thrown out, meaning that the wins will be awarded to other teams. Mountain Ridge Little League, the team from Las Vegas that lost to Jackie Robinson West in the national championship game, will be awarded the title. Parents were angered by the news, saying their children were being unfairly punished. “The boys had no inside dealings ... about any borders, and I as a mother had no idea there were any (questions about) boundaries,” said Venisa Green, who was driving her son, Brandon, to school Wednesday when they were “blindsided” by the news as it came over the radio. “We weren’t involved in anything that could See LLWS, Page 15 12 SPORTS Thursday • Feb. 12, 2015 THE DAILY JOURNAL Warriors hold off Minnesota THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Warriors 94, T-wolves 91 MINNEAPOLIS — Andre Iguodala and Leandro Barbosa led a dominant effort from the Golden State Warriors’ reserves and Klay Thompson hit a big 3-pointer down the stretch to close out a long road trip with a 94-91 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night. Iguodala scored just eight points on 4-for4 shooting and Barbosa had 10 points, but they spearheaded an energized second unit that picked up the slack for their sluggish starters. Stephen Curry had 25 points on 9for-23 shooting for Golden State (42-9), which goes into the All-Star break with the best record in the NBA. Kevin Martin scored 21 points and Ricky Rubio had 18 points, nine rebounds and five assists for the Timberwolves (11-42), who rallied from a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter to tie the game. The Warriors were playing their fifth game in eight nights and the last of a four-game road trip before the AllStar break, and coach Steve Kerr recognized that by taking the team bowling on the off day in the Twin Cities on Tuesday rather than holdAndre Iguodala ing a practice. The Warriors missed nine of their first 11 3-pointers, but their hard-nosed second unit turned up the energy in the second quarter to get them going. Iguodala and Barbosa beat the younger Wolves down the court for easy layups in transition and Marreese Speights and Shaun Livingston helped put the defensive clamps on a Wolves bench squad that struggles to move the ball when Rubio goes to the bench. They were central figures in a 14-4 run in the first half and a 12-4 spurt at the start of the fourth that gave the Warriors just enough cushion to survive. Golden State led Minnesota 32-14 in bench points and shot 17 for 30 from the field. Even with Curry missing eight of his 10 3s, Golden State led 85-71 lead with 7:30 to play. But Rubio led a charge late. He scored seven points during a 12-0 run that brought them back and Thaddeus Young converted a layup to tie the score at 89 with 1:35 to play. Thompson drilled a 3 on the next possession and Wolves center Nikola Pekovic missed a layup with 7.9 seconds to go that would have put Minnesota in front. Pekovic had 17 points and 13 rebounds and Thompson finished with 14 points.

George Karl to coach Sacramento Kings after All-Star break THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Sacramento Kings and George Karl have agreed to the framework of a deal for him to take over as coach, a person familiar with the negotiations said Wednesday. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the discussions were private. The plan is for Karl to coach the Kings in their first game following the AllStar break Feb. 20 at home against Boston, meaning Tyrone Corbin will be coaching his final game for Sacramento on Wednesday night at Milwaukee. Karl is attending funeral services for former North Carolina coach Dean Smith this week. The Kings are expected to announce the deal in the coming days after final terms have been agreed upon and the contract has been signed. Karl will be George Karl Sacramento’s third coach this season. The Kings (18-33) made the surprising move to fire Michael Malone in December after an 1113 start in his second season as coach, even though they had shown progress until All-Star NOW ACCEPTING VENDORS.

Sacramento slid even further after promoting Corbin from lead assistant, losing 12 of its last 14 games and 20 of 27 overall since Malone’s dismissal. Karl is a proven winner in the league and a familiar face for Sacramento’s front office. Kings general manager Pete D’Alessandro and assistant general manager Mike Bratz are among those who worked with him in Denver, and team adviser Chris Mullin played for Karl with the Golden State Warriors from 1986-88. Karl last coached in the 2012-13 season, when he won NBA Coach of the Year with the Nuggets before being fired following a firstround playoff loss to the Warriors. D’Alessandro left Denver that summer and brought Bratz with him to Sacramento. The Nuggets made the postseason all nine years under Karl. They advanced past the first round only once during his tenure, losing to the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2009 Western Conference finals. The 63-year-old Karl, a cancer survivor, is one of nine coaches in league history to eclipse 1,000 wins. He has 1,131 victories as a head coach, with stops in Cleveland, Golden State, Seattle and Milwaukee, earning a reputation for turning around teams. 14 SPORTS THE DAILY JOURNAL LOUNGE players and general Aragon students as well. I don’t want to say Sell is the life of the party because I’ve never been to a party with him, but watching him at events when he is not coaching, the man barely has a second to himself, what with all the people who want to talk with him — fellow coaches, teachers, parents, players, current and exstudents — and he gives each the attention they deserve. It’s not easy when you’re being pulled in 100 different directions like Sell is. But Sell handles it all with aplomb, which is just another reason he deserves to be honored by the state. “I feel so strongly about how important high school athletics are,” Sell said. “It kind of drives me to do it the way we do it. … [High school coaches] play an important role in keeping sports in perspective.” *** I need to make a couple of clarifications and corrections. First, in Monday’s wrestling story, “Salem, Thiesen, Bonanni capture CCS titles, Tigers win team crown,” there was an error in the results linked to the Central Coast Section website. South City’s Hiba Salem won her semifinal match 11-0. That win, coupled with three pins, gives Salem back-to-back CCS tournaments in which she did not give up a point. “I should know, I was there,” said South City coach Steve Matteucci. In Tuesday’s column, “Titles will be settled this week,” I gave out the wrong information. The West Catholic Athletic League basketball season ends next week and there will be no WCAL tournament this year. Thursday • Feb. 12, 2015 Sports briefs Clippard and A’s agree at $8.3M and avoid arbitration OAKLAND — Right-hander Tyler Clippard and the Oakland Athletics avoided salary arbitration when they agreed to an $8.3 million, one-year contract. Clippard was 7-4 with a 2.18 ERA in 75 relief appearances last year for Washington, which traded him to Oakland on Jan. 14 for infielder Yunel Escobar. A right-hander who turns 30 on Saturday, Clippard had asked $8.85 million and had been offered $7,775,000 when the sides exchanged proposed arbitration salaries last month. He made $5,875,000 last season. Lawmaker: NCAA should fire chief over Penn State sanctions HARRISBURG, Pa. — The Pennsylvania lawmaker whose lawsuit led the NCAA to lift the last of Penn State’s sanctions stemming from the Jerry Sandusky scandal says the organization’s president, Mark Emmert, should be fired. State Sen. Jake Corman said 4,900 pages of case documents he released Wednesday show that in 2012 the NCAA exceeded its legal authority under Emmert and misled Penn State to get school officials to agree to the sanctions. Corman says a thorough investigation by the NCAA’s executive committee should find that the organization has a culture problem and that Emmert lacks the credibility to lead college sports’ governing body. Continued from page 11 PAL commissioner Terry Stogner said he leans heavily on Sell, “when I need a rational voice.” “He has really involved himself in the world of athletics beyond the Aragon campus,” Stogner said. “It’s understanding the big picture and not just your sport. I think that’s where Steve fits in.” Sell sits on CCS’s Athletic Directors Advisory Committee (ADAC) as well as the Executive Committee. “The CIF Model Coach Award is for Steve’s accomplishments, dedication and service as a football coach. However, it is hard to separate his positive coaching role as a coach without acknowledging the other areas of leadership that also reflect his effectiveness on the field,” said CCS commissioner Nancy Lazenby Blaser in a press release. “The attributes he brings to the field as a coach, are also personified in his dedicated service to the student-athletes throughout the CCS that he serves in these other leadership capacities. We are so proud of Steve’s selection for this very prestigious State Award.” Having covered the PAL for the last 13 years, Sell has developed into one of my go-to sources when I have questions about not only football, but any question as it relates to the PAL or CCS. With the retirement of Bill Gray from Terra Nova at the end of the 2014 school year, Sell becomes the longest tenured football coach in the PAL and he is treated accordingly, but he does not lord over the rest of the league. In fact, it’s his genial attitude that allows not only other coaches and athletic directors to come to him with questions and comments, but his M-A Continued from page 11 failed to clear it out of danger. The ball ended up on Bryan’s foot and he did the rest. He won a pair of 50-50 balls and then touched the ball to his left to create some space. With some room to breathe, Bryan whipped his left foot through the ball into the far right side of the net. “It was a really good goal for him,” Pickard said of Bryan’s goal. “It’s his first minutes (of playing time) since Burlingame (Jan. 23).” Three minutes later, it appeared M-A had the game locked up. Rodriguez won a loose ball about 25 yards from the Sequoia net and broke in on goal before being taken down by a defender in the box to draw a penalty kick. Rodriguez then finished what he started by side-footing a shot to the right corner to give the Bears a 3-0 lead at halftime. Despite trailing 3-0, Sequoia seemed determined to make a game of it in the second half. With two of the Bears’ top three scoring threats on the bench to start the second half, the Cherokees took advantage. They pressed hard in the opening minutes of the second period. Just a minute in, they had a dangerous chance, but a through ball from Audel Salas went nowhere. Three minutes later, Anthony Pulido made a strong run before being taken down just outside the penalty box. The ensuing free kick, however, was cleared away by the M-A defense. The Cherokees finally connected in the 48th minute with Nathan Mollat can be reached by email: [email protected] or by phone: 344-5200, ext. 117. You can follow him on Twitter@CheckkThissOutt. Salas finding the back of the net to cut their deficit to 3-1 with plenty of time remaining. Minutes later, Sequoia had a prime chance to pull even closer when Pulido ran down a ball along the sideline and whipped a cross into the penalty box that found Daniel Spottiswood —  but his strong header went right to the M-A goalkeeper. With about 20 minutes remaining in the game, Pickard re-inserted Rodriguez and Jesus Ortega back into the game and the Bears’ offense immediately perked up. The two were clearly the best players on the field in this particular game and they, along with Smith, torched the Cherokees over the final 15 minutes. Any thought of a Sequoia comeback was quickly extinguished when Rodriguez completed his hat trick in the 68th minute. He received a pass about 40 yard out, turned, shrugged off one defender, beat two more and then slotted a shot past a diving Cherokees goalkeeper and into the far right corner of the net to put M-A up 4-1. Smith got in on the goal-scoring action two minutes later off a free kick. M-A defender Patrick Quinn took the free kick from midfield and put a ball into the penalty box. Smith flicked the ball with his head and he roofed it into the net to give M-A a 5-1 lead. Ortega rounded out the scoring in stoppage time when he was taken down in the penalty box and buried the ensuing penalty kick on what turned out to be the final play of the game. “It’s a big win,” Rodriguez said. “It’s Sequoia. It’s our rival.” SPORTS THE DAILY JOURNAL LLWS Continued from page 11 have caused us to be stripped of our championship, ” said Brandon, appearing at a news conference with his mother. Venisa Green said the move was especially disheartening because the team was part of efforts to keep children safe and prepare them for college in a community better known for gangs and drugs than any kind of achievement. “What would you have us do, Little League, for them to be killed TARK Continued from page 11 incredible memories,” Lois Tarkanian said in a family statement. “You will be missed Tark.” Tarkanian was an innovator who preached defense yet loved to watch his teams run. And run they did, beginning with his first Final Four team in 1976-77, which scored more than 100 points in 23 games in an era before both the shot clock and the 3-point shot. He was a winner in a city built on losers, putting a small commuter school on the national sporting map and making UNLV sweatshirts a hot item around the country. His teams helped revolutionize the way the college game was played, with relentless defense forcing turnovers that were quickly converted into baskets at the other end. He recruited players other coaches often wouldn’t touch, building teams with junior college transfers and kids from checkered backgrounds. His teams at UNLV were national powerhouses almost every year, yet Tarkanian never seemed to get his due when the discussion turned to the all-time coaching greats. That changed in 2013 when the man popularly referred to as Tark the Shark was elected to the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame, an honor his fellow coaches argued for years was long overdue. Though hospitalized in the summer for heart on the streets of Chicago?” she asked. She wondered if the fact that the players were black had any role in the ruling, something that the Rev. Jesse Jackson and others questioned as well. “Is this about boundaries or race?” Jackson asked. Jackson did not discuss whether he blamed any league officials for what had happened, but in Washington, White House spokesman Josh Earnest suggested that it was the adults who let down the boys. It was a stunning end to a story that began last summer as the team marched through the Little League problems and weakened by a variety of ills, he went on stage with a walker at the induction ceremony. Tarkanian’s career spanned 31 years with three Division I schools, beginning at Long Beach State and ending at Fresno State, where Tarkanian himself played in 1954 and 1955. Only twice did his teams fail to win at least 20 games in a season. But it was at UNLV where his reputation was made, both as a coach of teams that often scored in the triple digits and as an outlaw not afraid to stand up to the powerful NCAA. He went 509-105 in 19 seasons with the Runnin’ Rebels before finally being forced out by the university after a picture was published in the Las Vegas ReviewJournal showing some of his players in a hot tub with a convicted game fixer. UNLV was already on probation at the time, just two years after winning the national title and a year after the Runnin’ Rebels — led by Larry Johnson, Stacey Augmon and Greg Anthony — went undefeated into the Final Four before being upset in the semifinals by the same Duke team they beat by 30 points for the championship the year before. Even after losing four of his starters off that team and being on probation, Tarkanian went 26-2 in his final year at UNLV. His overall record is listed several different ways because the NCAA took away wins from some of his teams, but the family preferred to go with his on court record of 784202. 15 Thursday • Feb. 12, 2015 tournament. Their odyssey ended with a loss to South Korea in the world championship game in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania. When the Chicago team returned home, the boys were treated as conquering heroes. Thousands of people lined city streets to catch a glimpse of them as they were paraded by bus from their home field to a downtown park. The team was treated to a trip to a major league World Series game in San Francisco and then a visit with President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama at the White House. Behind the scenes, Keener said, the investigation was creating a different story after a coach from a nearby suburb alleged that Jackie Robinson West had violated rules by poaching top suburban players. The investigation, which was first reported by DNAinfo.com, appeared to end in December when the national organization said it had uncovered no violations. Officials said they would reopen the inquiry if new information surfaced. About that time, the organization learned of questions about boundary maps involving multiple leagues. The investigation resumed. In an interview, Keener said Jackie Robinson West officials expanded the boundaries of their league at the expense of three neighboring leagues, so that the boundaries included the homes of several players on the team who would not otherwise have been eligible. The investigation found that at least one district official who had helped redraw the map went to the other teams to ask that they go along with what the team had done, Keener said. “They (said) ‘We know we took your territory. We shouldn’t have done it, but will you give it to us’ to essentially legitimize it, ” Keener said.

I don’t like what you did, I don’t think it’s fair in this community or in any community regardless if you had the right to do it or not, I just think it’s bad practice to slap things up without at least notifying the city and trying to go through the permit process, ” said Councilman Charles Stone. “Sounds like it’s not going to happen again, I hope it doesn’t.” Marc Blakeman, regional vice president of AT&T external affairs, said additions to the public utility pole were aimed at increasing the company’s coverage area. The pole was originally approved to house equipment supporting 2G speeds, yet the additions seek to keep with highspeed advancements such as 3G and LTE, or 4G, technology. Since the advent of smartphones, data traffic increased approximately 30,000 times on AT&T’s network. Federal and OASIS Continued from page 1 Governments. The conservation program was established by ABAG, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District in 2007 to identify Bay Area lands for environmental conservation and protection. If San Bruno Mountain, the Bay Area’s largest urban open space, is designated a priority, it will allow the county, cities and nonprofits to apply for regional grants to THE DAILY JOURNAL “AT&T, I hope I made myself clear. I don’t like what you did, I don’t think it’s fair in this community or in any community regardless if you had the right to do it or not, I just think it’s bad practice to slap things up without at least notifying the city and trying to go through the permit process.” — Councilman Charles Stone state studies also show between 40 percent and 50 percent of people opted out of landlines and rely on cellphones, Blakeman said. The council sympathized with the community’s needs for cellphone coverage, but urged AT&T to work collaboratively. “The citizens are talking about that they want the cell coverage and they want the data, but they want good neighbors and a good business to work with,” Mayor David Braunstein said. Councilwoman Cathy Wright expressed frustration by the council’s legal limitations but remained hopeful with Blakeman’s assurances. “I’m encouraged by the presentation from AT&T, I would expect in the future that they’d be a better partner with the city of Belmont because technology’s not going away. So you know, in a hypothetical sense, [if we] removed the pole, then there was a lapse in coverage, I think we’d hear a lot more people being a lot more upset,” Wright said. “I look at what’s being proposed, it’s less ugly than what’s there now. Not great, but less ugly.” In looking toward avoiding similar conflicts in the future, the council agreed to further discuss the locations of utilities in the city. “We’re certainly in a very unfortunate situation, ” Councilman Warren Lieberman said during the meeting via Skype. “The council has its priority setting coming up soon and I would definitely support a discussion about how we might entertain more comprehensive planning for cellphone structures.” conserve and improve access to the park that is circled by Brisbane, Daly City, Colma and South San Francisco. Monday night, the Daly City Council unanimously endorsed the county’s effort to make the mountain a priority for conservation that will include privately-owned Daly City parcels that will be dedicated to the county for conservation. Daly City Councilman David Canepa said the endorsement is an important first step in protecting open space. Additional funding will help pave new trails and walkways to increase access to San Bruno Mountain, part of which is a state and county park. Canepa is on the air quality board. “This is a clear message that San Bruno Mountain matters,” Canepa said. The park is especially critical for Daly City residents, he said, who live in the county’s densest city. “Open space is vital to quality of life. The ultimate goal is to see no development whatsoever and to maintain it as an urban oasis,” Canepa said. Seven properties in San Mateo County have already been designated Priority Conservation Areas [email protected] (650) 344-5200 ext. 106 including: • Miramontes Ridge; • Ravenswood; • Teague Hill; • Purisma and El Corte de Madera Creek; • Tunitas Creek and La Honda; • Windy Hill and Coal Creek; and • Russian Ridge, Skyline Ridge and Long Ridge.

While San Francisco and San Mateo counties are experiencing an economic boom, it is important that we protect existing open space,” Canepa said. ABAG’s executive board will decide in July whether to add San Bruno Mountain to its Priority Conservation Area list.

Writer Sir Walter Scott gardened to distance his mind from debt. George Bernard Shaw crafted plays in a sophisticated yet modest garden hut. Impressionist painter Claude Monet treasured his kitchen garden. “Gardens were really extensions of their art,” said Derek Fell, author of the new “Monet’s Palate Cookbook” (GibbsSmith). Some dug deep into the mechanics of gardening. Shaw, for example, was a vegetarian who grew vegetables, tended an orchard and raised bees at his rural Hertfordshire home in England, dubbed Shaw’s Corner. He wrote “Pygmalion” and “Saint Joan,” two of his most celebrated plays, in a small but intricate writer’s shed; it sat on a home-built turntable that could be rotat- “He studied how everything grew very carefully, not only with his artist’s eye but also with his mind — as a social and environmental reformer.” — Jackie Bennett, author of “The Writer’s Garden” ed to follow the warming sun in winter or the cool shade in summer. Shaw died at 94 after falling off a ladder while pruning a fruit tree. John Ruskin, a Victorian-era art critic, painter and conservationist, was another hands-on gardener. “He studied how everything grew very carefully, not only with his artist’s eye but also with his mind — as a social and environmental reformer,” said Jackie Bennett, author of “The Writer’s Garden” (Francis Lincoln Ltd., 2014). “No words, no thoughts can measure the possible change for good which energetic and tender care of the wild herbs of the fields and trees of the wood might bring ... to the bodily pleasure and the mental power of man,” Ruskin wrote. Leonard and Virginia Woolf lived what they called a life of “ramshackle informality” at Monk’s House, a country retreat in East Sussex, England, that they transformed from overgrown land into garden rooms, brick walkways and an orchard. Leonard, an author, editor and political theorist, was the planter, while Virginia, the novelist and critic, was more of an observer. She “experienced ‘profound’ pleasure in the ‘fertility and wildness’ of the gardens,” Bennett said. “Gardens feature strongly in her work.” “We are safe in our garden, and it’s the most I can do to get Leonard to leave it,” Virginia wrote in one of her diaries. Other notable gardener-artists include: • Paul Cezanne, the French PostImpressionist painter. “His favorite pastime was going into the countryside and finding nature reclaiming man’s domain,” Fell said. “Things like roofs collapsing and ivy growing through windows. Many of his paintings fit that theme.” • Monet, famed for his flower gardens at Giverny, France, also was fond of heirloom vegetables. “He was first to introduce zucchini into Normandy gardens as a result of finding seeds in an Italian market, and also Chinese artichokes — a tuber related to clover with a nutty flavor,” Fell said. • Rudyard Kipling, who wrote “The Glory of the Garden” — a poetic tribute to gardeners everywhere. Money from Kipling’s 1907 Nobel Prize in Literature was used to improve his gardens, Bennett said. And then there was poet Rupert Brooke, who perhaps said it best for all aspiring gardeners and garden writers: “I do not pretend to understand Nature, but I get on very well with her.” ALL ELECTRIC SERVICE ™ 650-322-9288 FOR ALL YOUR ELECTRICAL NEEDS® SERVICE CHANGES SOLAR INSTALLATIONS FULLY LICENSED STATE CERTIFIED LIGHTING / POWER LOCALLY TRAINED FIRE ALARM / DATA EXPERIENCED GREEN ENERGY ON CALL 24/7 ELECTRIC SERVICE GROUP 18 LOCAL Thursday • Feb. 12, 2015 HILLSDALE Continued from page 1 had, the concerns that the neighborhood had. I think this whole concept of getting away from the big multi-level department store in favor of a more dispersed series of buildings with plazas and a number of different opportunities for people to use this wonderful place, this is great, ” said Planning Commissioner Chris Massey. In place of the more than 200,000-squarefoot Sears, Bohannon has proposed a landscaped plaza sandwiched between two smaller buildings that would include an underground 38, 200-square-foot fitness center, ground-floor retail and restaurant space as well as a two-story bowling alley lounge and restaurant, according to the application. Only parts of the lot north of 31st Avenue are sought for a remodel with the Outback Restaurant, Bohannon offices and parking structure remaining in place. The current ground-floor food court would be shifted to the second story along with an outdoor dining terrace that transitions into a skywalk connecting to the central portion of the shopping center. The surface parking lot lining El Camino Real will be transformed into three smaller retail and restau- rant buildings with an approximate 46,000square-foot movie theater managed by Cinépolis Luxury Cinemas. “Much has changed at the shopping center over the course of the last 60 years. The center has continually evolved to adapt to the demands of the marketplace, ” said Bohannon CEO Bob Webster. “This is consistent with what is happening in similar shopping centers across the country as department stores are gradually disappearing from our landscape. … The new trend is to provide experiences the Internet cannot offer.” Several neighbors who had followed the proposal since its inception a few years back attended and spoke at the meeting. Impressed by the changes, some remained concern that the theater and fitness center would attract more patrons while the proposal outlines eliminating 277 parking spaces. However, the shopping center as a whole will ultimately provide 5, 179 spaces, several hundred more than required by the city. Traffic concerns Nate Marsetti, who lives nearby, said the narrow width of 29th, 30th and Sylvan avenues behind the center pose a challenge alongside an increase in traffic. “Eliminating the front parking lot area, it THE DAILY JOURNAL is shunting parking to the rear of the development. I do have concern as a father of young children that the increase in traffic … will cause a safety consideration for those neighborhoods,” Marsetti said. “Certainly from this plan, I can tell a lot of the sentiment that was conveyed during the initial plan was taken into consideration and manifested into this new plan, which is great.” Steve Moscaret said he lives close to the shopping center and was initially a strong opponent of the original proposal. “I think this plan is a vast improvement and there’s excitement around it. I still think there’s one area, a hot spot, that the city owns and that’s the five-way stop at Edison and 31st,” Moscaret said. “I think that’s on the city itself there to make peace with that and make the neighbors feel good there.” Planning commissioners agreed with the public’s concerns regarding safety while highlighting a thorough traffic study would be conducted as part of the project’s environmental review. “The traffic circulation and site access, for me it’s all about how we provide a level of comfort and safety to the pedestrians and bicyclists and where they have to interact with the cars, ” said Planning Commissioner Dianne Whitaker.

District administration is recommending the Board of Trustees approve the contracts at the board meeting Thursday, Feb. 12. District officials said in an email the compensation package is fair, as it benefits teachers, but also allows the district to remain financially solvent. “The district values our teachers and all that they do to serve our students,” said district spokeswoman Sheri Costa-Batis. “The district team feels that we have reached a reasonable agreement that provides stability for teachers while also allowing the dis- create a wider entrance into the redeveloped block off southbound El Camino Real to reduce the amount of cars accessing the new site from 31st Avenue and the primarily residential streets to the west. The commission also urged the developer to consider installing sustainable features such as solar, electric vehicle charging stations and hookups for recycled water. Next steps With community and commissioner input in hand, Bohannon must return to the city with a formal application and undergo environmental review. If all goes smoothly, construction could start as early as the first quarter of 2016, Bohannon Marketing Director Christine Kupczak said previously. “I think you’re going in a wonderful direction. I think what you presented to us is exciting,” Massey told Bohannon representatives at the meeting. “I think as you move forward in more specific plans and all of that, I have every confidence that we’re going to get to a place that everyone’s going to be happy with.” For more information about the pre-application to redev elop the Hillsdale Shopping Center North Block v isit the What’s Happening in Dev elopment? page at www.city ofsanmateo.org. trict to be a financially sustainable organization now and in the future.”  According to a report from the California Department Of Education, teachers in the district earned $91,599 on average last year. The tentative two-year contract allows for both parties to revisit health benefit contributions in the second year of the contract, said Costa-Batis. The tentative agreement marks the third year in a row teachers have received a raise. Last year, the union and district agreed to a 5 percent pay increase, but there was no increase in health contributions. Teachers received a 2 percent raise in the previous contract. Single teachers can receive no more than $805.30 per month in contributions to health benefits, an employee plus one person can receive no more than $1,706 per month and employees with families can receive no more than $2,349 per month. Per a clause in the contract for classified workers, the union will receive the same percent pay bump as teachers. “If the certificated unit receives an increase in salary compensation, the same percentage increase in salary compensation will be applied to the classified bargaining unit,” according to the document. Teachers will be allowed more professional development as part of the tentative agreement as well. A representative from the teacher’s union did not respond to a request for comment. The board will meet tonight at 7 p.m. at the San Mateo Adult School, at 789 E. Poplar Ave. in San Mateo. Reverse Mortgage Financial Assessment to begin March 2015 The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has issued a financial assessment for reverse mortgage borrowers that will take effect March 2, 2015 HUD writes in explaining the purpose of financial assessment, “The mortgagee must evaluate the mortgagor’s willingness and capacity to timely meet his or her financial obligations and to comply with the mortgage requirements.” The mortgage requirements include paying property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and keeping up home maintenance. HUD states, “In conducting this financial assessment, mortgagees must take into consideration that some mortgagors seek a HECM due to financial difficulties, which may be reflected in the mortgagor’s credit report and/or property charge payment history. The mortgagee must also consider to what extent the proceeds of the HECM could provide a solution to any such financial difficulties.” For borrowers who do not demonstrate their willingness to meet their loan obligations, life expectancy set-asides will be required. The mortgagee letter also specifies documents that must be collected and submitted to all borrowers. The documentation has been updated to include “Financial Assessment Documentation” including, credit history, income verification, asset verification, property charge verification, residual income analysis, documentation of extenuating circumstances or compensating factors and calculations for life expectancy and residual income shortfall set-asides. If you have a question about qualifying for a reverse mortgage today, or how the financial assessment will impact your situation, contact us today. A reverse mortgage is a loan that enable homeowners 62 or older to borrow against the equity in their home without having to give up title, or take on a monthly mortgage payment. The money received can be used for any purpose. The loan amount depends on the borrower’s age, current interest rates, and the value of the home. Borrower must maintain property as primary residence and remain current on property taxes and homeowner’s insurance. A reverse mortgage does not have to be repaid until the borrower sells or moves out of the home permanently, and the repayment amount cannot exceed the value of the home. After the loan is repaid any remaining equity is distributed to the borrower or the borrower’s estate.

Today’s outdoor chairs might be wrought iron or wrought aluminum, with upholstered seats. The table might be stone or wood or an elegant faux version of either, and would not look out of place inside in the dining room. Add outdoor sound systems, carpets and lighting, and the backyard or balcony can look and feel like an extension of the home. That notion gets ramped up this spring and summer; manufacturers are offering new furniture, textiles and materials that resemble indoor furnishings yet can withstand the elements. Getting the right look can be tricky; you don’t want it to seem like you just plunked a sofa from the living room down onto the patio. Here’s a look at what’s hot for Warm Weather 2015: VINTAGE MODERN AND ULTRA-MODERN Watch for midcentury modern styling in outdoor pieces to coordinate with this popular interior style. The Gloster’s Dansk collection includes a chair with marine-grade, leather-look upholstery and teak tables, designed by Dane Povl Eskildsen. (www.gloster.com) After World War II, California designer Walter Lamb was helping salvage sunken Navy warships at Pearl Harbor when he started messing around with the brass tubing and fittings. His prototypical outdoor furniture collection was put into production by Brown Jordan, the Pasadena-based company that pioneered outdoor furniture. The Gloster’s Dansk collection includes a chair with marine-grade, leather-look upholstery and teak tables, designed by Dane Povl Eskildsen. Today’s iterations of Lamb’s pieces are still crafted from brass, which you can leave alone to develop a patina or polish to retain the shine. The seats are marine-grade cording. (www.dwr.com) Luxe looks evoking old Hollywood are also in. Beautiful on an urban terrace, these pieces are chic and sophisticated, with tailoring details on upholstery, elegant finishes and striking colors. Frontgate’s Grayson Jade collection comes in a fashion-forward bright green, in a powder-coated finish that looks lacquered. Here too, a zebra-print outdoor rug and pillows with exotic botanical prints. (www.frontgate.com) Gloster’s Wedge seating has a stainlesssteel base and waterproof fabric over a new type of outdoor foam that breathes well and resists mold. And Candace Olson designed a collection for Century that includes slipcovered furniture, and a smart accent table crafted of brass-finished aluminum and topped with a faux-croc surface. (www.centuryfurniture.com) GLOBAL STYLE Global elements stay as strong in outdoor furnishings as they are in indoors: Those Asian ceramic stools show no signs of disappearing, and are offered in more colors and patterns than ever. Look for Moroccan influence in lanterns, Mediterranean motifs in textiles, and Silk Road accents like elephant-shaped tables, daybeds and handcrafted accessories. FLEXIBLE USE While dedicated dining areas remain popular outdoors, there’s also a trend toward “chat and chill” configurations of furniture. Indoor-style seating includes comfy lounge chairs and sectional pieces that can be grouped or separated, with ottomans, side tables and coffee tables that can also be used for casual dining. Watch for new, portable fire pits, bars and coffee tables. Agio, the world’s largest outdoor furni- ture supplier, introduces their Kolea collection this year featuring a fire pit and a sofa with built-in bar. Burnt orange fabrics and a lower profile are on-trend. (www. agiousa.com) COLOR COMMENTARY Deep indigo looks fresh and new, and so does coral. Frontgate’s got a cane-print rug in both hues. Dark blue looks nautical and preppy paired with crisp white, apple red or sunshine yellow, so think about mixing things up in a fun way by putting the brighter hues on the furniture pieces — a wicker or Adirondack chair, perhaps — and the blues on accent pieces. Or get a more dressed-up vibe by keeping the pops of color on accessories while the outdoor space is anchored with darker-toned furniture. The natural neutrals — sand, mocha, charcoal, cream — stay strong for 2015. Their versatility makes them good choices whatever the climate. LARGEST SELECTION Everyday Discount Prices Outstanding Quality 930 El Camino Real San Carlos 650.591.3900 20 DATEBOOK Thursday • Feb. 12, 2015 THE DAILY JOURNAL Comedy Central has a ‘short list’ for Stewart replacement By Lynn Elber THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Comedy Central is mulling a “short list” of replacements for “Daily Show” host Jon Stewart, a decision that could affect how much influence the show has on the 2016 presidential campaign. Also at issue: Whether Stewart, an executive producer for “Daily Show” as well as host, retains some role with the show that has helped shape attitudes toward politics and media and given campaigns an appealing forum to reach potential voters, especially younger ones. “TBD,” said Doug Herzog, president of Viacom Entertainment Group, using the shorthand for “to be determined,” when asked if Stewart would keep a hand in. “It’s not out of the question, ” Herzog added. Stewart, 52, announced Tuesday that he will leave the host’s job this year, a move that had been was closely held by him and the channel. The timing of his exit has yet to be determined, and Stewart did not say what he plans to do afterward. “I think Jon wanted to get this off his chest and put it out there. He’s been carrying this for a little while, and now we’ll have to discuss” the next steps, Herzog said. “He’ll take a deep breath, as will we, and figure out what’s best for Jon Stewart and best ENERGY Continued from page 1 municipal accounts. A joint powers authority would then be formed to set up the CCA that would then function as an independent nonprofit to buy electricity using Pacific Gas and Electric’s infrastructure. “The goal is to increase the percentage of power produced by clean sources,” Pine said. Pine brought the idea to the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors in December. It will be back on the agenda for its Feb. 24 meeting. There are currently three programs operating in the state now including Marin Clean Energy and Sonoma Clean Energy. A third, Lancaster Choice Energy will start this spring in Los Angeles County. It’s an idea that the San Mateo City Council has also considered as it has for ‘The Daily Show, ’ in that order.” He declined to comment on when Stewart, whose contract is up this fall told Comedy Central of his deciJon Stewart sion to leave. Herzog said “there’s a short list” of possible Stewart replacements, declining to provide specifics. It’s uncertain whether it includes former “Daily Show” correspondent John Oliver, who moved to HBO after successfully filling in for Stewart when he took a movie-making break. Asked about whether Oliver is a candidate, Herzog’s reply was succinct. “John Oliver’s got a job,” he said. Asked if that meant he was not under consideration, Herzog said: “I think he’s spoken for.” Whoever is chosen has heavy lifting to do. “It’s almost impossible to estimate the impact that Jon Stewart has had on correcting misinformation in the media and calling out our politicians when they need to be called out,” said Sophia McClennen, a Penn State professor and author of “Is Satire Saving Our Nation?: Mockery and American Politics.” And that was felt in the halls of power. Stewart had a “very special talent for putting fear in everybody from the candidate to the operative to the intern, should they do something wrong, say something wrong. You knew it might be immortalized on ‘The Daily Show, ”’ said Kevin Madden, who was a campaign adviser for Mitt Romney in 2008 and 2012. Even former President Bill Clinton felt compelled to weigh in, although lightheartedly. “Jon Stewart’s departure raises 2 Qs: 1) Where will I get my news each night? 2) Does this mean he’s doing a sequel to Death to Smoochy?” Clinton posted on Twitter, including a reference to a 2002 comedy in which Stewart appeared. Candidates may still count on a post-Stewart “Daily Show” appearance, hoping to reach its young adult viewers and the potential votes they represent, said Rich Galen, a Republican consultant who worked on former Sen. Fred Thompson’s presidential campaign. That could become a closed avenue, depending on what changes come to the show. “But it won’t alter anyone’s campaign plans. It does take away one option that everybody had,” Galen said. That doesn’t mean the show’s satiric viewpoint will be lost to TV or absent from the 2016 presidential election, others said. revised its sustainability goals for the future. The rates for renewable energy in most instances are lower than or competitive with PG&E rates depending on the percentage being purchased, Pine said. Customers will have a choice to purchase 110 percent renewable energy, solar, wind or other, or a 50/50 mix, Pine said. “It gives residents a way to purchase clean energy at very reasonable rates,” Pine said. Buying clean energy in bulk is one of the San Mateo City Council’s sustainability initiatives, said Councilman David Lim. Participating in the bulk program, however, is not a slam dunk, he said. “There’s uncertainty in the program even in Marin and Sonoma since it is in its early stages,” Lim said. The bottom line is whether participating makes financial sense, he said. “It’s not necessarily true the energy will be cheaper,” he said. If users opt out of the program, it could turn into a suspect investment, he said. “You have to take a hard look at the financials and see if the program is better for residents than they currently have,” Lim said. Lim does agree with Pine that the program would be better for the environment and looks for the county to take the lead in creating it. Pine also believes that if demand increases locally for cleaner energy that more of it will be produced locally like it has in Marin and Sonoma counties. Cities that participate in the feasibility study will have to produce raw data to show what the local energy demands are. The first step is to complete the feasibility study and it will be some time before a decision is made, Pine said.

Nabokov played 10 seasons for the Sharks, a span that ended after the 2009-10 campaign. He owns a long list of franchise goaltending records, including most wins (293), shutouts (50) and games (563). Nabokov was a Vezina Trophy finalist in 2008 after going 46-21-8 in Evgeni the regular season. He Nabokov was a two-time NHL AllStar, making the team in 2001 and 2008. As a rookie in the 2000-01 season, Nabokov won the Calder Memorial Trophy. The Sharks drafted Nabokov out of Kazakhstan in the ninth round with the 219th pick in the 1994 NHL draft. “The guy has the perseverance, the passion for the game, the work ethic,” Sharks general manager Doug Wilson said. “He was given nothing. He epitomizes what this game is all about.” Nabokov led the Sharks to the Western Conference finals for the first time in franchise history in 2004. The Sharks lost to the Calgary Flames. Then in 2010, he led them to the conference finals again; this time they got swept by the Chicago Blackhawks. Thursday • Feb. 12, 2015 13 Sharks blow lead, lose in overtime THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN JOSE — Joel Ward scored with 2:18 remaining in overtime to lift the Washington Capitals past the San Jose Sharks 5-4 on Wednesday night. Jay Beagle scored twice and John Carlson and Troy Brouwer also scored for the Capitals, who have won four of their last five. Brent Burns scored twice, Logan Couture and Joe Thornton also got goals as the Sharks lost their third straight and fifth in six games. Burns scored his goals within 22 seconds of the second period. Braden Holtby, with a 0.88 GAA over his last five, saved 26 of 30 shots for Washington. Antti Niemi stopped 28 of 33 shots. Beagle connected on a breakaway, beating Niemi to the far post. Carlson scored the goahead goal a few minutes later, with an assist Capitals 5, Sharks 4 from Marcus Johansson. Then Thornton got his 12th goal a minute later to tie the score at 4. He found an opening at the near post after taking a cross-ice pass from Joe Pavelski. Burns, who has four goals and four assists in 10 career games against the Capitals, fired a shot past Holtby 21 seconds into the second period on a power play. Thornton won the puck off the boards and got it to Burns. Patrick Marleau controlled the ensuing faceoff and got the puck to Burns, whose shot glanced of Holtby’s shoulder pads and into the net. Brouwer’s power-play midway through the second period tied the game at 2. Alex Ovechkin, the NHL’s co-leader in goals scored, passed to the far post and Brouwer redirected it in. Ovechkin has 31 points over his past 28 games (21 goals, 10 assists), getting points in 20 of them. Couture scored the go-ahead goal with just over five minutes left in the second, grabbing Matt Nieto’s missed shot and scoring on a wraparound. Washington had opened the scoring with just under five minutes to play in the first period. Michael Latta fished the puck out from behind the net and passed to Brooks Orpik, whose shot bounced off Matt Tennyson’s skates and directly to Beagle. The Capitals won a shootout in San Jose last year to end a 12-game losing streak here. NOTES: The announced crowd of 16,956 was the lowest attendance since Feb. 2, 2006 (15,226). . Thornton got his 1,240th career point to move into sole possession of 36th place on the all-time list. . Brouwer has three goals in his last five games, Tiger Woods said he’ll return when his game is ready THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PEBBLE BEACH — Tiger Woods said Wednesday his game is “not acceptable” to compete in tournaments and he will return when he thinks it is. Hopeful of having injuries behind him, Woods made a horrific start to the new year. He shot a career-high 82 in the second round of the Phoenix Open to miss the cut by 12 shots. And then he withdrew after 11 holes of ordinary golf at Torrey Pines because of tightness in his back from a fog delay. Woods said on his website the last two weeks have been disappointing, especially at Torrey Pines, where he is an eight-time winner. He said he never wants to withdraw, but recent injuries have allowed that to happen too often. Woods said his latest injury was not related to the back surgery he had last spring, and that he is feeling better every day with physical therapy. “Right now, I need a lot of work on my game, and to still spend time with the people that are important to me,” Woods said. “My play, and scores, are not acceptable for tournament golf. Like I’ve said, I enter a tournament to compete at the highest level, and when I think I’m ready, I’ll be back.” Woods is not playing Pebble Beach or Riviera, and said he would practice next week at his home and at The Medalist “getting ready for the rest of the year.” He said he wants to play the Honda Classic, which starts Feb. 26, but he won’t be there unless his game is tournament ready. “That’s not fair to anyone,” Woods said. “I do, however, expect to be playing again very soon.” Woods, the winner of 79 PGA Tour events and 14 majors, has never looked this bad on the golf course. He had back surgery to relieve a pinched nerve a week before the Masters and missed three months (including the first two majors), and then he took four months off at the end of last year to regain strength and get his back fully healed. He also hired a new swing consultant and embarked on the fifth swing change of his career. Woods is at No. 62 in the world, his worst ranking since before he won his first PGA Tour event in 1996. He is not eligible for the World Golf Championship at Doral.
