Downtown draws new interest

South City infrastructure changes down the line, but new businesses coming to town now
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Plans are continuing for a

revamp of downtown South San
Francisco that aims to create a
more vibrant, transit-supportive,
diverse area while protecting and
celebrating its historic nature.
In July, the city released a draft

of the Downtown Station Area

Land Use Plan, a guide to developing properties within the half mile
area of the citys Caltrain station
over the next 20 years. It begins
with changing parking from
angled to parallel, redoing
facades, offering loans for putting
in new awnings, working on sidewalks, adding three plazas and per-

haps creating a pedestrian-only

part of Grand Avenue. Eventually,
it plans to add more high-density,
mixed-use development with
workforce and market rate housing, retail and office space.
On the flip side of things, downtown is already seeing changes
with new businesses like Wine
& Canvas, China Spice, Flavas

Jamaican Grill and the soon-toopen Amoura restaurant, said

Councilwoman Karyl Matsumoto.
Even without it, were seeing
changes. It can only get better,
she said. Were on track. I think
theres great progress (on the
plan) being made because of the
civic engagement; its going to be
what everybody wants.

The plan is solid too, said City

Manager Mike Futrell.
The plan itself has gotten high
marks from merchants and residents in the downtown and
throughout South San Francisco,
Futrell said. Its coming at a great
time when the economy is revital-

A love of Italian
School of Italian Language and Culture in South City offers programs for children, adults
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

For 44 years, children and adults

alike have been making their way
to South San Francisco to learn the
language of Leonardo da Vinci and
Sophia Loren.
At the School of Italian
Language and Culture in South San
Francisco, students spend Saturday
mornings learning about Italian
culture and the language. Started
by a group of Italian professors,
the program was originally established in 1970 to educate children
of Italian immigrants and those of
Italian descent, the school now

attracts business types and those

going on vacation to Italy. The
professors noticed there was no
school for learning Italian in the
area, said Leo Pagani, the schools
administrative director.
We are kind of a peculiar school
between a school and an association, Pagani said. Theres a
strong community feel.
More adults tend to attend the
nonprofit school than when it
first started too. At one time there
were five classes of children and
two adult classes. Now there are
about six classes of adults and two
classes of children, Pagani said.
During the 70s, there were lots of

Italians coming over from Italy

who wanted their children to know
the language. Pagani himself came
to the United States in 1962 and
all of his children were the first
students of the school in 1970.
The school has served more than
6,100 students since its inception.
Now, the schools classes, held
at the South San Francisco Adult
School, include beginning, intermediate and advanced conversation, along with literature courses
taught by eight permanent teachers and two or three substitute

Judge says pet bobcat
Rocky must live at the zoo
STAFFORD TOWNSHIP, N.J. A
pet bobcat that has escaped from its
owners home multiple times since
April will be made to live at a zoo, a
judge ruled Friday, and its owner will
be fined for letting it run free.
Rocky the bobcat has been the subject of an ongoing legal fight between
owner Ginny Fine and town officials
because of the repeated escapes. A
judge in Stafford Township fined Fine
$500 and ordered her to pay $560 in
restitution to the zoo, where the bobcat has been since it last escaped in
October.
This should be an end to the tortured history of this case, Municipal
Judge Damian Murray said. Some
things are not meant to be. Rocky living in your household is one of
them.
Fine pleaded guilty to letting the
bobcat run loose in October after she
left it under her sons care while she
was in Japan.
A month earlier, she told the judge
an enclosure would keep the 38-pound
bobcat on her property. Animal control officers had to trap it in a nearby
wooded area.
Fine has said Rocky is a hybrid of a
bobcat and a Maine coon cat. But DNA
tests were inconclusive. She would
have needed a special permit if Rocky
were a purebred.

DUBLIN, Ohio A 5-year-old Ohio

boy hoping to save the scuttled football program at the University of
Alabama at Birmingham thought
more cash might be the solution, so
he sent his entire allowance - a $1 bill
- with a handwritten note of support.
I love Ohio State, but I think you

He had decided he liked UAB after
seeing its dragon logo and hoped to
go to a game, but was very disappointed to learn the school is eliminating football to cut costs, his parents told The Columbus Dispatch.
When the boy asked if contributing
his allowance might help, his parents
responded with optimism rather than
rubbing in the financial realities of a
football program that costs tens of
millions of dollars.
We said, `Sure. We can try, said
his mother, Amanda Williams. Its
hard as parents to tell your child that
its not possible.
She hoped it would be a comforting
gesture for people connected to UABs

Assistant athletic director Reid

kindness touched the beleaguered athletics staff, which is framing the letter
and the dollar.
The Blazers sent back a football and
other gear for Bennett, but it was the

In the letter, they told him he was

Man without use of arms

facing gun charge released
TRENTON, N.J. A man who cant

charge was released from jail without
having to pay bail on Friday.
Marcus Hubbard had been jailed
since his arrest in Trenton in August.
His bail was lowered on Tuesday from
$100,000 to $35,000, but The Times
newspaper reported he was released
without bail on Friday morning.
Hubbards
attorney,
Caroline
Turner, said she was delighted by the
judges decision and would fight for
all charges against him to be dismissed.
Turner had said at Tuesdays bail

California puzzles over

safety of driverless cars
By Justin Pritchard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS
ANGELES

Californias
Department of Motor Vehicles will miss a
year-end deadline to adopt new rules for cars
of the future because regulators first have to
figure out how theyll know whether driverless vehicles are safe.
Its a rare case of the law getting ahead of
an emerging technology and reflects regulators struggle to balance consumer protection with innovation.
Safety is a chief selling point, since selfdriving cars thanks to an array of sensors
promise to have much greater road awareness and quicker reaction time than people.
Plus, they wont text, drink or doze off.
Though the cars are at least a few years
away from showrooms, seven companies
are testing prototypes on Californias
roads, and regulators have questions: Do
they obey all traffic laws? What if their
computers freeze? Can they smoothly hand
control back to human drivers?
DMV officials say they wont let the public get self-driving cars until someone can
certify that they dont pose an undue risk.
The problem is that the technology remains
so new there are no accepted standards to
verify its safety. Absent standards, certifying safety would be like grading a test with-

out an answer key.

Broadly, the department has three
options: It could follow the current U.S.
system, in which manufacturers self-certify
their vehicles; it could opt for a European
system, in which independent companies
verify safety; or the state could (implausibly) get into the testing business.
Its a huge undertaking, said Bernard
Soriano, who oversees the DMVs regulatory process. There are all of these issues that
need to be adequately answered.
Manufacturers generally would prefer selfcertification. That may be where California
ends up, but for now the DMV is exploring
independent certification something that
doesnt exist for driverless cars.
In July, the DMV asked third-party testers
whether theyd be interested in getting into
the game. The department doesnt have the
expertise to create a safety standard and testing framework, so the department wanted
to get a very good sense of what is out there
in the market, according to Russia Chavis,
a deputy secretary at the California State
Transportation Agency, which oversees the
DMV and requested a deeper exploration of
third-party alternatives to self-certification.
Two large European testers and two businesses in Ohio responded to the DMVs
request. None was ready to implement a program immediately.

Killer of two NYC officers had long criminal history

By Tom Hays
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The gunman who

fatally ambushed two police officers in their
squad car had a
long criminal
record, a hatred
for police and
the government
and an apparent
history of mental instability
that included an
Ismaaiyl
attempt to hang
Brinsley
himself a year

Moments before opening fire,
Ismaaiyl Brinsley approached people on the street and asked them to
follow him on Instagram, then told
them, Watch what Im going to

Boyce said.
A portrait of the Brooklyn-born
gunman emerged as big-city police
departments and union leaders
around the country warned officers
to change up their routines and
insist on extra backup a day after
Brinsley carried out what he portrayed online as retaliation for the
slayings of black men at the hands
of white police.
Brinsley was black; the slain
officers were Asian and Hispanic.
Investigators were trying to
determine if Brinsley had taken part
in any protests over the deaths of
Michael Brown and Eric Garner,
whose names he invoked in his
online threat, or simply latched on
to the cause for the final act in a
violent rampage.
They said he traveled frequently
between the South and New York,
where he fathered a child in
Brooklyn, and had been in the city
earlier in the week.
Brinsley, 28, had at least 19
arrests in Georgia and Ohio, spent
two years in prison for gun possession and had a troubled childhood
so violent that his mother was
afraid of him, police said. He ranted

States trying to lure lawyers into rural practice

CORSICA, S.D. By landing a steady

job in a hopping metropolis, Jake Fischer
achieved the dream of many who finished

Then, he left the big-city life and moved to a
small South Dakota town, lured by a program that seeks to boost the number of rural
attorneys.

MONTEREY Officials warn boaters
and beachgoers to be especially careful of
high tides along the California coast.
Mark Strudley of the National Weather
Service in Monterey said that he expects
high tidal activity through Tuesday. He said
it will peak Monday, with the likelihood of
flooding at low-lying areas along the coast.
Strudley says the so-called King Tide is
cause by the earths alignment with the sun
and moon, creating some of the most
extreme swells of the year.
He warns people that coastal lagoons,
trails and parking lots may flood.
Capt. Greg Stump, commander of the

swells could rise to around seven feet.
He warns marinas and boat owners to

believed to be the first of its kind to similarly compensate lawyers.
Fischer, who is married with one child, is
the first of up to 16 attorneys accepted into
the program, which is funded by the states
judicial system, the South Dakota Bar
Association and the counties. It offers an
annual subsidy of $12,000 or 90 percent
of the cost of a year at the University of South
Dakota Law School to live and practice in
rural communities.

The 30-year-old left his job at a

Minneapolis nonprofit this past spring to
work at his new law office in Corsica, South
Dakota, about 25 miles from his hometown
of Parkston. Hes the only full-time attorney
in the town of 600 and one of just two fulltime in a county of about 3,000 people,
almost 100 miles away from the nearest
metro area.
Being in a small town, of course you have
to do a little bit of everything, criminal law,
land deals, business deals, estate planning,
the whole range of stuff really, Fischer said.

Four urban areas in South Dakota have 65

percent of the states lawyers and rural residents sometimes have to drive nearly 100
miles for legal advice. But South Dakota
isnt the only state struggling with attracting lawyers to rural areas.
In Nebraska, 12 of the states 93 counties
have no practicing attorney. Only about 30
percent of Georgias attorneys can be found
outside the Atlanta area. And even in New
York with nearly 170,000 attorneys, more
than 60 percent concentrate in New York

GOP fighting to hang onto Senate in 2016

By Erica Werner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Senate majority in

hand, ascendant Republicans are set to challenge President Barack Obama and the
Democrats on Capitol Hill come January.
But a much tougher election map two years
from now could force the GOP right back
into the minority.
In November 2016, Republicans will
defend 24 seats, Democrats 10. Seven of the
GOP seats are in states that President Barack
Obama won with 50 percent or more of the
vote in 2012.
Its a stark reversal from this past
November, when Democrats were the ones
contending with a brutal map, including
candidates running in seven states Obama
had lost. Democrats were crushed on
Election Day, losing nine seats and their
Senate majority.
It will be a tough climb for Democrats to
make up those losses, and theres no guarantee they will. But coming off Novembers
trouncing, Democrats sound eager about
their chances in states such as Wisconsin,
Pennsylvania
and
Illinois,
while
Republicans are preparing more to defend
past victories than try to score new ones.
Theres no doubt about it, its going to
be a bigger challenge than 2014, said Sen.
Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, among the
Republicans at the top of the Democrats
pickoff list. But I think we have a really
good opportunity here in the next couple
years. We will reach out to the other side. I
think Americans, Wisconsonites, will find
out that were not the party of no.
Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii, one of the
Democrats likely to be safely re-elected in
2016, said his party already is eyeing a path
to retake control of the Senate. Democrats
would have to gain a net of four seats if
theres a Democrat in the White House
because the vice president can cast tiebreaking votes in the Senate or five if the
GOP wins the presidency.
Picking up four or five seats is no small
task, but we are certainly in a position to do
so, Schatz said. The electorate is going to
be different and I think Democratic elected
officials and candidates and most importantly voters are going to be excited for a presidential race, and were excited to play
offense.
Democrats faced strong headwinds on
numerous fronts in November: Obamas low
approval ratings, a scandal involving
Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals,
the Ebola outbreak, the rise of Islamic State
extremists. Compounding everything was
the painfully slow economic recovery.
Its too soon to say what new issues may

NYC subways slowly upgrading

NEW YORK New York Citys subways
the nations biggest mass transit network
serve more than 6 million daily riders who
depend largely on a signal system that dates
back to the Great Depression.
Antiquated electro-mechanics with thousands of moving parts are still critical to operations. Dispatchers still monitor most trains

still put pencil to paper to track their
progress.
That eight-decade-old system is slowly

arise in the next two years or how strong the

economy will be. But presidential elections
can favor Democratic congressional candidates by increasing turnout of young and
minority voters, and Democrats will not
have to spend time distancing themselves
from an unpopular incumbent.
Operatives in both parties are looking at
many of the states Obama won in 2012, plus
a few others, as the most contested places in
2016 where Democrats could try to defeat
Republicans. In addition to Wisconsin,
Pennsylvania and Illinois, the list includes
New Hampshire, Ohio, North Carolina and
Florida.
Democrats are concerned mainly about
defending seats in Colorado and Nevada,
where Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid
faces what could be a bruising re-election
fight if he seeks a sixth term.
Some analysts and Republican strategists
say that as tough as the map looks for the
GOP, there are some factors in the GOPs
favor. Republicans have strong incumbents
in Democrat-friendly states, such as Kelly
Ayotte in New Hampshire, Rob Portman in
Ohio, and Marco Rubio in Florida, if he runs
for re-election rather than the presidency.
The GOPs strong showing in November
gave them breathing room with a 54-seat
majority, making it that much harder for
Democrats to make up the difference. States
such as New Hampshire or Illinois may be
easier for Republicans to defend than
strongly GOP-leaning Arkansas, Louisiana
and others were for the Democrats this year.
In the face of what can seem to be a very
steep climb for the Republicans you really
have to look at each individual race and ask
yourself about the vulnerability of each of
those candidates, said Ross Baker, a political science professor at Rutgers University.
These Republicans are pretty skillful
politicians. I dont see Kelly Ayotte as a particularly easy mark for the Democrats.
Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., who will
lead the National Republican Senatorial
Committee through 2016, acknowledged a
difficult map. But, he added, You take
them one by one and I feel very, very good
about it.
The main thing that helps our candidates
is, state by state, the fact that theyve tended to business, theyve been diligent legislators and taken care of the home folks,
Wicker said.
Republicans fortunes may depend in part
on how the newly GOP-controlled Senate
functions and whether incoming Majority
Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky can
advance legislation or gets hamstrung by
the tea party faction in his caucus led by
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, another potential
White House candidate.

OPINION

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Monday Dec. 22, 2014

Guest perspective

Jebs exploration
The Wall Street Journal

ormer Florida governor Jeb

Bush announced Tuesday that
he will actively explore a
presidential run, and his entry would
strengthen a GOP eld that already
looks like it will be far better than it
was in 2012. This means there will be
no coronations, and already the media
are asking if Mr. Bush is conservative
enough to win the party nomination.
This is an odd question considering
Bushs success as a notably conservative governor in the polyglot
Sunshine State from 1999-2007. He
cut taxes many times and was a leader
in K-12 reform, including pushing
school choice for public and private
schools. He was also popular, which
last we looked is still a political
asset.
Then again, Bush hinted at this
concern himself this month at the
Wall Street Journal CEO Council, noting that I kind of know how a
Republican can win, whether its me
or somebody else and it has to be
much more uplifting, much more positive, much more willing to be, lose
the primary to win the general without violating your principles. Its not
an easy task, to be honest with you.
One of his likely competitors,
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, jumped on
that remark to suggest that Bush
thinks he has to run against the GOP
base to win. And to our mind Bushs
comment was needlessly defensive.
The way to win the nomination isnt
to run as the candidate of this or that
faction but to offer the ideas and persona that can unite the party. Its also
the best way to show voters that Bush
is his own man, and not a copy of his
father or brother.
The worst strategy and a guaranteed loser is to run as an ostenta-

Other voices
tious moderate opposed to the GOP
base. John McCain tried that in 2000
and so did Jon Huntsman in 2012.
They were media favorites but lost the
nomination because GOP conservatives wont nominate someone who
lectures them about ideological shortcomings. They want a champion for
their principles even if they disagree
with the nominee on some issues.
Bushs two main political liabilities in the primaries are said to be his
support for immigration and for
Common Core education standards.
Neither is an insuperable barrier to
the nomination.
Bush neednt repudiate his support
for national education standards,
though he should disavow President
Obamas use of the federal purse to
coerce states to impose them. The
polls show that nearly as many
Republicans as Democrats support
high standards as long as the polarizing Common Core is removed. GOP
Governors Bobby Jindal (Louisiana)
and Mike Pence (Indiana) have already
dumped the label and kept similar
standards. Bush can then pivot to his
stellar record on accountability and
choice in Florida.
As for immigration, Bush shouldnt
budge in his support for reform that
welcomes newcomers who want to
work in America consistent with the
rule of law. Immigration isnt the
most important issue for most
Republicans, beyond countering
President Obama s recent decree, and
Bush can make a strong case for
reform that promotes economic
growth and keeps the United States a
magnet for talent.
Some GOP voters will consider that
disqualifying, but pandering to

restrictionists as Mitt Romney did in

2012 is a political killer. It would
also betray Bushs principles and
undermine a large part of his political
appeal. Bush should welcome an
immigration debate in the primaries
that would set him up to win more
minority votes in November.
Our own concerns with Bush are
less about policy than what hes been
doing since hes been governor and
how much he really wants to be
President. Bush has sometimes
seemed difdent about running, and a
half-hearted campaign wont work
against Paul, Ted Cruz and Scott
Walker, much less the Clinton tong.
Bushs presidential preparation to
date has been too reactive and ad hoc,
rather than part of a deliberate campaign rollout. He also needs an infusion of younger campaign talent that
knows the world of digital politics.
Then theres his work in recent
years with private equity and hedge
funds. That will be a ripe target for
demagogues on the right and left if he
does run. He couldnt do worse than
Romney did in defending such work,
but hed better be prepared to get the
details of his associations out early.
If he doesnt, they will inevitably
come out at the worst possible
moment.
On that score, it was good to see
Bush announce on the weekend that
hell release some 250,000 emails
from his time as governor. His brother almost lost the White House in
2000 by sitting on his DUI that made
news the weekend before Election
Day.
Bushs name and experience are formidable enough that his entry in the
race would cause other potentially
appealing candidates to stay out of
the eld. All the more reason to be
sure hes in for the rough and tumble.

Caltrains new rail cars

should include bike cars
By Shirley Johnson

umerous letters published recently in local newspapers from Caltrain bicycle-riding customers praise
Caltrain for its bikes-on-board service, but also
express frustration about being bumped
from the train due to lack of onboard
bike space. As leader of the advocacy
group BIKES ONboard, I would like to
take this opportunity to explain the
issues including benets of bikes
onboard, problems faced by customers
with bicycles and our proposed solution.
Caltrain plans to add more rail cars,
and we recommend that new capacity
match current ridership, with onboard
space divided between seats and bike space according to the
percentage of passengers who walk on and bring a bike
onboard, respectively.
Caltrains bikes-on-board service benets the community
by reducing trafc congestion, freeing costly parking
spaces, freeing seats on publicly subsidized buses and shuttles, reducing our dependence on fossil fuels, reducing air
pollution and improving public health. With so many benets, Caltrain would be doing the right thing by expanding
its bikes-on-board service.
Bike ridership is Caltrains fastest growing customer segment, increasing 147 percent since 2008 while walk-on ridership increased only 35 percent. Caltrains bikes-on-board
service is so popular that Caltrain has been unable to keep
up with demand.
Caltrain has experienced record ridership recently, and
commute-period trains can get crowded. Walk-on customers
are all allowed to board and stand on the train when seats are
full, but customers with bicycles are bumped from the train
when bike cars are full, even when there are empty seats on
the train. Bicycle bumps are at an all-time high, averaging
signicantly more than 200 per month, making Caltrain
service unreliable and forcing bicyclists back into their cars
costing Caltrain ridership and revenue.
Thankfully, Caltrain plans to add more capacity by purchasing 16 new (used) Bombardier cars. The question is how
many of the new cars should be congured as bike cars.
Caltrain currently runs two types of trains, 15 older
gallery train sets and ve newer Bombardier train sets. All
trains have ve cars including two bike cars, but bike capacity is inconsistent: gallery trains hold 80 bikes, but
Bombardier trains hold only 48.
Service disruptions such as mechanical failures or accidents can result in a Bombardier train set swapped unannounced for a gallery train set. This is a disaster for customers with bicycles, because the lower bike capacity on
Bombardier trains results in many bicycle bumps, even
though customers left behind with their bicycles have paid
tickets in hand.
With the new rail cars, Caltrain staff stated they plan to
run six six-car Bombardier train sets by adding a new car to
the existing ve Bombardier train sets and replacing a
gallery train set with a Bombardier train set. This would
decrease bike capacity due to fewer bike spaces on
Bombardier trains, unless bike cars are added to the eet.
An equitable way to allocate new capacity is according to
current ridership to accommodate demand for both seats and
bike space. Thirteen percent of passengers bring a bicycle
onboard according to a recent Caltrain survey, so 13 percent
of onboard space should be allocated to bike space. Only 20
seats must be replaced with bike racks to congure a
Bombardier car as a bike car, leaving over 110 seats in the
rest of the car. Thirteen percent of new capacity corresponds
to 13 of the new Bombardier cars congured as bike cars.
We are requesting, however, that only eight of the new
Bombardier cars be congured as bike cars. Although eight
new bike cars will not eliminate bicycle bumps, we propose
this compromise to provide more seats. Our proposal would
add approximately 2,000 seats and 112 bikes spaces to
Caltrains eet to address the needs of all passengers.
Eight new bike cars would enable all six Bombardier train
sets to have three bike cars to increase bike capacity from
48 to 72 bikes, close to the 80 bikes held by existing
gallery train sets. This would result in a more consistent
eet, which simplies operations and improves service reliability. Bike capacity would increase a slight 8 percent,
while 15 percent more seats would be added to the eet.
A bike onboard rivals the automobile for convenience and
exibility and is a cost-effective, environmentally friendly
way to access Caltrain. We applaud Caltrain for its bikes-onboard service and look forward to six-car Bombardier train
sets with three bike cars to provide more seats, improve
service reliability and boost customer satisfaction.

Companies eager to embrace Cuba face hurdles

By Paul Wiseman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Cargill aims to

sell more corn and soybeans.
MasterCard covets another site for
Americans to swipe credit cards.
Marriott sees beachfront property
that needs hotels.
And outside Orlando, Florida,
Danny Howell just knows there
would be demand for his classic
Chevrolet parts.
American businesses have begun
imagining ways to capitalize on
last weeks announcement that the
United States will restore diplomatic ties with Cuba and ease curbs on
trade with one of the last surviving
Communist regimes.
Their more ambitious plans
would require that Congress lift the
U.S. embargo on most exports to
Cuba. Given sharp resistance from
some in Congress, that might not
happen soon. But many analysts
think Congress will repeal the
embargo eventually.
Its great news its a totally
untapped market, said Seth
Kaplowitz, a lawyer and lecturer in
finance at San Diego State
University.
All that said, Cuba experts have a
message for any business that
might be envisioning easy riches:
Be patient.
After years of rigid market planning in Cuba and the half-centuryold U.S. embargo, restoring economic ties to something close to
normal is likely to be complex and
time-consuming. The United States
must change laws and regulations,
and Cuba must build an economy
more hospitable to foreign investment.
The Cuban government has a
long way to go and a lot more to
do, said Jodi Bond, vice president
of the Americas at the U. S.
Chamber of Commerce. I dont
think any businesses are under the
illusion that this is going to be an
easy transition or the floodgates
will open.
Still, the prospects are tantalizing.
Economists at the Peterson
Institute
for
International
Economics estimate that the
export of U. S. goods to Cuba
could eventually reach $4.3 billion annually, up from just $360
million in 2013. And Cuban
exports of goods to the United
States could reach $5.8 billion,
from zero now.
A full lifting of the U.S. trade
embargo could benefit, among others, U.S. farmers, auto and tractor
makers, airline and hotel companies and telecom equipment makers. The United States now sells
Cuba about $350 million a year in
farm products, including rice corn,
soybeans and frozen chicken parts,
according to the American Farm

Anti-Castro activists protest at the Jose Marti park in Miami, Fla.

Protesters: Its not the time for more Cuba ties

MIAMI Cuban opposition
leaders from the island joined
Cuban American politicians and
activists on Saturday, pledging to
oppose President Barack Obamas
plan to normalize relations with
the communist nation and disputing the notion that their community is split by a generational
divide.
The opposition will continue
fighting, with or without Barack
Obama, Cuban activist Jorge Luis
Garcia Perez, known by his nickname Antunez, said to cheers.
The gathering at a Little Havana
park drew more than 200 people,
largely older Cuban exiles who
chanted Obama, traitor! and
waved U.S. and Cuban flags. Some
expressed disappointment that the
protest was not larger; the demonstrators filled about half the park.
The mentality is, Hey, were
going to be able to buy Cuban

cigars and rum. Well, its not a

happy thing for us, said Armando
Merino, 68, who came to the U.S.
at age 14. Im here because for the
Cuban people, my family in Cuba,
they are not able to protest.
The protest featured two highprofile Cuban dissidents: Garcia
Perez, who spent 17 years in jail
for his activities and has gone on
hunger strikes to protest the treatment of political prisoners, and
Berta Soler, spokeswoman for the
island-based Ladies in White, a
group of Cuban mothers and
wives of dissidents arrested in the
2003 government crackdown
there.
Soler said a normalized relationship between Cuba and the U.S.
would perfect the repressive
mechanism of the Cuban government.
Cuba needs freedom, and that
freedom depends on the Cubans,
she said.
The Cuban-American speakers
included
former
Florida
Congressman Lincoln Diaz-Balart
and state Sen. Anitere Florida.

Both argued that Obamas gestures

would do nothing to improve the
prospects of a democratic Cuba.
The worst infamy is the pretext
he used: He says its to help the
Cuban people, Diaz Balart said to
chuckles from the audience.
Flores, 38, one of the youngest
Cuban American politicians in a
state or federal office, rejected
what some recent polls have
shown: that while many older
Cubans stand firm in their opposition to ending the embargo,
younger generations are increasingly in favor of loosening sanctions.
Our generation feels as strongly and in some cases even more
strongly than our parents, she
said.
After Obamas announcement
this week, a poll conducted for the
Miami Herald and Tampa Bay
Times showed that CubanAmericans were almost evenly
split on whether to support his
plan, with 48 percent saying they
disagreed with the president and 44
percent agreeing.

Bureau. A 2000 law relaxed restrictions on food and medical exports.

Those exports could surge once
the United States eases restrictions
on financial transactions, which
could happen soon. Cuban buyers
of U.S. agricultural goods are
required to pay up front, though
international trade is usually done
on credit.
We have been pretty much hamstrung by the financial constraints, said Devry Boughner
Vorwerk, a vice president at Cargill,
the agriculture giant. She called the
U.S. move a great first step.

U.S.-based travel companies

have been eager to embrace the
Caribbean island, just an hours
flight from Miami. Delta Air Lines,
JetBlue Airways, Hilton Worldwide,
Marriott International and the
Carnival Corp. all expressed interest last week, though most of their
plans would have to await a repeal
of the embargo.
CEO Arne Sorenson said in a
statement that Marriott looks forward to opening hotels in Cuba, as
companies from other countries
have done already.
Apple Leisure Group, which

books 2 million vacation packages

to the Caribbean a year and is about
to open its 38th hotel in the
region, is developing a plan for
Cuba.
We could very rapidly put charters onto the island or buy a hotel
and convert it into one of its
Sunscape brand resorts, CEO Alex
Zozaya said. He envisions a market
for the companys higher-end
hotels, like Secrets and Dreams.
Eventually, that is.
Cuba does not have the right
infrastructure yet to satisfy the midto-high-end market, Zozaya said.

Survey: U.S. gas prices

fall 25 cents per gallon
CAMARILLO The average price of regular gasoline nationwide has dropped another 25 cents a gallon in the past two weeks,
to $2.47.
Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg said
Sunday that prices will likely keep falling.
Lundberg says the average price of regular
gasoline is the lowest its been in more than
five years.
She says lower crude oil prices are driving
prices down, along with an abundant oil
supply and the rising value of the U.S. dollar.
The highest-priced gas in the Lower 48
states was found in Long Island, New York,
at $2.82 a gallon. The lowest was in Tulsa,
Oklahoma, at $2.06 a gallon.

Cuba, which can appear stuck in a

1950s time warp, desperately needs
investment. The island lags far
behind its neighbors Haiti and the
Dominican Republic in the proportion of its economic output that
goes into public infrastructure like
roads, factories and housing. In
fact, Cuba has one of the lowest
investment rates in the world,
according to the World Bank.
If the embargo is lifted, U.S.
refiners could find a new market in
Cuba for gasoline and diesel or
refining technology. Cuba has
been struggling to find a partner to
finance an upgrade and expansion
of its largest refinery. And suppliers
of electric power generation and
transmission equipment, like
General Electric, could help
improve and expand electricity
services on the island.
American technology firms will
likely be interested in putting
Cubans to work assembling electronic components, taking advantage of low-wage labor far closer to
the United States than India and
China are.
But businesses eager to break
into Cuba will face numerous obstacles:
THE U. S. GOVERNMENT
President
Barack
Obamas
announcement only relaxed restrictions on traveling and doing business in Cuba. And even Obamas
limited action will require government regulators to craft new rules.
The United States, for example,
will now let companies like John
Deere sell tractors to small private
Cuban farmers but not to government-run farms. Yet its not clear
how the eligible farms will be
defined.
All these regulations have to be
written; its not simple, says
Kirby Jones, a consultant on U.S.Cuba trade issues. That could take
weeks or months.
CUBAS GOVERNMENT
Havana has sent mixed messages
about its appetite for foreign
involvement in its economy. In
March, Cuba passed a law meant to
attract foreign investment. But in
September, it jailed a Canadian
executive on corruption charges
a move that sent a chill through the
expatriate community.
The climate for foreign investment is not that great, said
Archibald Ritter, an economist at
Carleton University in Ottawa who
specializes in Cuba. Ritter said foreign companies that want to enter
the Cuban market might be required
to establish joint ventures with
state-owned firms.
China required such arrangements
as it opened its economy in the
1980s and 1990s, and many U.S.
and other foreign companies found
the joint ventures useless and costly.

De La Salle wins Open title 63-42 over Corona

CARSON Antoine Custer and Andrew

Hernandez combined to rush for 443 yards
and scored 7 touchdowns to lead Concord De
La Salle to 63-42 victory over Corona
Centennial in the Open Division title game
of the CIF State Championship Saturday
evening.
The Spartans (14-0) captured its seventh
state championship in the last 9 years and
improved its record against the Huskies in
state championship games to 3-1.
63 is an impressive number, said De La

Salle
coach
Justin

guy miss a lot tonight
and Im just so proud of
our players and coaches.
Our O-line dominated the

After
the
teams
swapped touchdowns for the first two and
one-half quarters, De La Salles defense
forced three turnovers over the final 16 min-

utes of the game to take

control.
Custer 73-yard TD run
with 3:58 left in the third
quarter gave the Spartans
a 49-42 lead.
I think Antoines
(Custer) 73-yarder was a
b ack -b reak er,
Alumbaugh said.

I just ran as hard I could
Hernandez
and I tried not to lose my
balance, said Custer, who finished the game
with 268 yards rushing on 31 carries.
On the Huskies ensuing drive, linebacker

Cameron Lissarrague intercepted Nate

Kitteringhams pass.
The Spartans took advantage of the
turnover and drove and drove 68 yards in 6
plays to take a 55-42 lead. Hernandez
capped the drive with a 1-yard touchdown
run with 1:55 left in the third quarter.
Lissarrague intercepted his second pass
and Jonathan Lopez recovered a fumble to
foil the Huskies next two drives and help
preserve the Spartans victory.
Its a great feeling knowing that I played
a major role in this game, said Lissarrague.

Just five games into the season, MenloAtherton first-year head coach Jason Luce
admits he is still getting acquainted with many
of the players on his girls soccer roster.
Good thing for Luce he has an ace up his
sleeve in senior team-captain Annie Harrier.
Some years ago, a 10-year-old Harrier also
served as the team captain during Luces first
year as a club coach with the Alpine Strikers.
So, as Luce put many of his non-seniors to
the test Saturday with their first varsity
starting assignments in the Burlingame
Tournament championship game, it was
Harrier who got the Bears on the board in the
first half to spark a 3-0 win over

Raiders play spoiler, knock Bills out of playoffs

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Unable to make the playoffs for the 12th straight year, the Oakland
Raiders are doing a good job keeping other
teams out of the postseason.
Derek Carr threw two touchdown passes,
Sebastian Janikowski kicked four field
goals, and the Raiders knocked the Buffalo
Bills from playoff contention with a 26-24
victory Sunday.

I cant say enough good things about

this team, interim coach Tony Sparano
said. I love the guys in that locker room.
Theyre fighters. Anytime somebody counts
them out, they bounce back. Its a great sign
of character.
The Bills (8-7) needed to win their final
two games and get some help to end the
NFLs longest active playoff drought at 14
seasons. But they failed at the easiest part
beating the lowly Raiders (3-12) and will
miss the playoffs for a 15th straight year.

When youve gone this long and youre

right there with a chance, and you put it all
on the line and you dont come through, it
hurts, quarterback Kyle Orton said.
Oakland has the second longest active
postseason drought at 12 but has done a
good job of playing spoiler in the past five
weeks, beating Kansas City, San Francisco
and Buffalo after starting the season 0-10.
This team has never really gotten down
to the point where we were ready to give
up, safety Charles Woodson said. Its

always been an upbeat attitude with the guys

on the team, and it shows out there each
week.
Carr wasnt that sharp, completing just
17 of 34 passes for 214 yards, but the rookie did what Peyton Manning and Aaron
Rodgers couldnt: throw a touchdown pass
against Buffalos stout defense.

Novaks 40-yard FG lifts Chargers past 49ers

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA Philip Rivers looked at

the 21-point deficit on the scoreboard at
halftime and even he wondered whether the
San Diego Chargers had it in them to come
back. The season depended on it, so Rivers
took charge.
He prevailed through a balky back and a
sore chest to keep San Diegos slim playoff
chances alive, rallying his team to tie it in
the final minute and setting up Nick
Novaks 40-yard field goal nearly 5 minutes
into overtime in a 38-35 victory over the
San Francisco 49ers on Saturday night.
Obviously, an unbelievable finish,
coach Mike McCoy said. We had about as
bad a first half as we could possibly play.
...You saw a lot of emotion on the sideline
throughout that second half the excitement, the energy, the way we play football.
Rivers found playmakers in Antonio
Gates and Eddie Royal when two of San
Diegos offensive stars were down with
injuries.

He completed his
fourth touchdown pass of
the day with a tying 11yard TD pass to Malcom
Floyd with 29 seconds
left in regulation after
completing a pair of
fourth-and-longs as the
Chargers (9-6) forced
overtime.

Thing even Rahm Emanuel cant fix: Da Bears

By Jim Litke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO Rahm Emanuel traded

Washington politics for the City of Big
Shoulders because here, at least, he figured
he could actually fix things.
The Chicago Bears were not on his list.
There are certain things that are just above
my pay grade, the citys straight-talking
mayor laughed, and thats one of them.
When Emanuel announced in October he
was bringing the NFL draft back to Chicago
in 2015 51 years after the last one outside
New York City was held here the Bears
were a .500 team, but still loaded with bigplay talent, and he was on a roll.
Five months earlier, Emanuel had wrestled
the Beard Awards show The Oscars of
Food away from New York. The month
after that, he made filmmaker George Lucas an
offer he couldnt refuse a prime piece of real
estate on the lakefront to build a museum
here instead of San Francisco. Then came the
news that hed outmaneuvered Los Angeles
once the NFL announced the draft was leaving
New York and going back out on the road.
Asked why the NFL chose Chicago, which
hosted the draft five previous times, Emanuel
responded with a rapid-fire tourism pitch. If he

sealed it with a 1-yarder to Jamize Olawale
with 2:51 to go.
You see what that defense did to the best
quarterbacks in the league, Carr said.

had his way, no one would

even consider going anywhere else ever.
I believe the reason the
NFL picked Chicago is
that were the center of the
country, within 400, 500
miles are a dozen teams,
with millions of fans, he
Rahm Emanuel said. Michigan, Ohio,
Wisconsin,
Missouri,
there are more thats where you have the
heart and soul of this country and the heart
and soul of the NFL.
If youre going to go American, you come
to the capital of America, he paused triumphantly, and thats Chicago.
Noticing a skeptical glance, Emanuel
sped up.
Chicago is ... Look, let me put it this
way. New York looks to the world. LA looks
to itself. Chicago is the center of the country, OK? ... The most American of American
cities, OK? ... The main thing when I talked
to the leadership at the NFL was You picked
Chicago. Im not only to going to make
you proud that you picked the city, Im
going to make you doubt whether you
should go back to New York.
Or as I like to say, he summed up, smil-

ing, Youre in your mothers arms now,

dont worry about a thing.
That kind of bravado will come in handy
next February, when Emanuel whose
approval rating cratered at 35 percent of
likely voters in a Chicago Tribune poll earlier this week faces at least two challengers in his bid for a second term as mayor
of this overwhelmingly Democratic town. If
elected, he might need it again, two months
after that, if angry Bears fans ruin the atmosphere of the April 30-May 2 draft.
When Emanuel landed the NFLs premier
offseason event, almost no one predicted the
Bears would be 5-9 and banished from the
playoffs. They were expected to at least make
the postseason. That was before the defense
failed to show up, and the guaranteed threeyear deal the team gave Jay Cutler began to
look like a $54 million ball-and-chain.
Now, the man with the rocket arm and
perpetual frown has been benched and may
be on his way out of town making the
already overheated question of what the
Bears should do with a suddenly critical
pick seem hotter still. Its far from improbable that many of those out-of-towners
Emanuel wanted to pack the galleries at the
graceful Auditorium Theater will be elbowed
aside by out-of-sorts Bears fans eager for

somebody to blame.
Whether Emanuel knows about any of that,
let alone cares, is hard to say. The former congressman and White House chief of staff works
out daily, runs marathons occasionally and is
as fit as a 55-year-old can be. But Emanuel was
never much of a ballplayer he wound up
ditching soccer for ballet as a teenager and
is only so much of a sports fan today.
Hes really smart, very funny, very competitive and he knows the legislative process
inside-out because he used to do the work, said
Illinois Senate President John Cullerton, a
longtime colleague. He also doesnt swear
nearly as much as his reputation makes it sound.
But sports? I doubt he gives it a lot of
thought, Cullerton added a moment later. I
went to the Cubs opener with him this year
and he didnt seem to know much about it.
Yet even that could work to Emanuels
advantage. He conceded watching only
snippets of past NFL drafts and listened
with interest to the story of how Donovan
McNabb, coincidentally a Chicago native,
was booed long and mercilessly by a busload
of Philly fans at the 1999 draft when the
Eagles took him with their first-round pick.
If thats the experience, Emanuel said
finally, breaking into a wide grin, its a natural for an elected official.

When you turn the film on and see what

theyre doing, you know its going to be
tough. At the start it sure was tough.
The second TD came after Oakland stopped
Buffalo on a third-and-1 near midfield when
Ray-Ray Armstrong deflected a pass to Chris
Hogan and Carr converted a third-and-22
with a 51-yard completion to Andre Holmes.
Darren McFadden then ran it 25 yards
down to the 1, and Carr hit Olawale two
plays later to seal Buffalos fate.

After Janikowski missed a 48-yard field

goal attempt, Orton threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to Robert Woods with 1:09 to
play to cut it to 26-24. But Woodson recovered the ensuing onside kick to end it.
The Bills came into the game vowing not
to overlook the two-win Raiders. But Orton
struggled after an early touchdown pass to
Sammy Watkins, throwing an interception
and posting five straight three-and-outs on
Buffalos next six possessions to put the

Bills in a hole they never could overcome.

The Bills ran for just 13 yards despite the
return of C.J. Spiller from a broken collarbone. That was their worst rushing performance since gaining 4 yards against
Tennessee on Nov. 23, 1997.
The Raiders got a pair of field goals from
Janikowski in the third quarter to take a 1910 lead, but the Bills managed to stay within striking distance by keeping Oakland out
of the end zone.

Penn State repeats as womens volleyball champs

By Cliff Brunt
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OKLAHOMA CITY Micha Hancocks

dream came true.
The senior setter from nearby Edmond
won a national title in front of family and
friends in her final college match. She had
36 assists and five digs to help Penn State
beat Brigham Young 25-21, 26-24, 25-14
Saturday for its second consecutive NCAA
womens volleyball championship.
Whats hitting me now is Im not coming back to play with my girls, Hancock
said. Ive been around for a long time.
Theyre like a family to me. Im just going
to miss the Penn State family. Its just weird
to be an alum. Its a great way to end my
career here.
Hancock helped the Nittany Lions neutralize the nations No. 1 blocking team.
BYU coach Shawn Olmstead said Hancock

proved why she was

named the AVCA national
player of the year.
She deserves all that
credit, all that recognition, Olmstead said.
Absolutely, she is the
best. She gets my vote.
She did an outstanding
Micha Hancock job. She did move the ball
around better than we did.
Penn States Megan Courtney was named
the tournaments most outstanding player.
The junior had 23 kills against Stanford in
the semifinals and 11 kills and 14 digs in
the final.
Aiyana Whitney had 11 kills in the final
and Nia Grant had nine for Penn State (363), which won its sixth title in eight years
and No. 7 overall to break a tie with
Stanford for most overall championships.
Jennifer Hamson had 14 kills and Alexa

Gray added nine for BYU, which had won 12

straight matches. The Cougars (30-5) beat
traditional powers Nebraska and Texas to
get to the final, and were trying to become
the first unseeded team to win a national
championship.
These kids didnt fail, Olmstead said.
They didnt lose. They competed, and
theyre going to grow from this experience,
and theyre going to be better because of it.
In the first set, Whitney had five kills and
Courtney and Grant had three for the
Nittany Lions, who held BYU to a .132 hitting percentage.
In the second set, BYU took a 17-14 lead
before Penn State rallied to take it 26-24.
Whitney hammered down four more kills
with just one error. Gray had six kills in the
set, but the Cougars struggled with their
passing game.
Hamsons service error at 24-all gave
Penn State a set point, and a double block

by Hancock and Haleigh Washington put

the set in the Nittany Lions column.
Penn State rolled through the third set,
holding the Cougars to a minus-.028 hitting percentage.
I thought we had opportunities,
Olmstead said. I thought we were close.
Maybe others dont think that, but I want to
think that. I thought we pushed them. We
gave them a good fight.
The Nittany Lions might not be done winning titles. Courtney, Whitney, Washington
and outside hitter Ali Frantti all return.
Still, Hancocks shoes are going to be
tough to fill.
Michas had a lot of great things happen
at Penn State, coach Russ Rose said. Shes
worked hard, and Im sure that Ive been hard
on a lot of players, and Im sure I was especially hard on her and her development. I
think she achieved what she wanted to
achieve when she came to Penn State.

Saturdays win for M-A

was a scoreless battle
until just before halftime,
when Harrier intercepted a
pass to Christophers
goalkeeper and converted
into the empty net. The
play helped the Bears
seize momentum in the
game with Christopher
previously having dominated in time of posses-

On one of Christophers best chances of

the match from the top of the penalty box,
Sandoval outstretched to tip a ball on goal,
deflecting it just enough so it winged off the
crossbar.
Sandoval managed to impress Luce with
her all-around performance.
I thought she played well, Luce said.
She made a key save when we needed it.
Then M-As other freshman, Josephine
Cotto, provided a dazzling second-quarter
display in her first varsity start. Cotto produced back-to-back goals to put the game on
ice. Her first score, on an assist from sophomore Katie Guenin in the 60th minute, gave
M-A a 2-0 lead. On the Bears following possession Cotto again converted, this time on
an assist from junior Miranda Simes.
M-A currently has 23 players on roster
with just seven seniors. The team includes
eight underclassmen.
Were a young team and against good
opponents, tough teams, we still have to

earn our way through that, Luce said. I

think thats where we have our difficulties,
when we play tough teams.

BEARS
Continued from page 11
With the win, M-A (3-1-1) shared the tournaments Gold Bracket championship with
host Burlingame. The Bears and Panthers
each played three games in the 10-team field
and did not meet head-to-head in the tourney.
I think its a good warm-up for us going
into the season, Luce said. We want to win
any tournament of course but we still have
a lot of growth to do.
M-A earned 29 points in the standings.
Burlingame earned 24 points, the same as
third-place Aragon, with the Panthers having
a better goal differential to earn the co-firstplace nod via tiebreaker. Burlingame and MA are scheduled to meet in the Bears next
match on Jan. 6 in the Peninsula Athletic
League Bay Division opener.

sion.
The goal was good because the other team
was actually outplaying us, Luce said.
They had the ball more and were passing
better.
With M-A maintaining a one-goal advantage early in the second half, goalie Brianna
Sandoval produced a big save to keep the lead
in check. It was the first start of the freshman
Sandovals varsity career, with senior goalie
Jacqueline Foody unavailable for action.

This was evident in M-As first three games

of the season. After opening the year with a
1-1 tie against rival Menlo Dec. 2, the Bears
dropped their third game of the season
against Sacred Heart Prep 2-0 on Dec. 10.
Each of the Bears three wins thus far came in
the Burlingame Tournament. They defeated
Sequoia 3-0 in the Dec. 5 tourney opener
before downing Woodside Priory 2-0 on Dec.
13.
Our youth are talented, Luce said. So,
its a good mix of the whole group.
In the tournaments Platinum Bracket,
Sacred Heart Prep and St. Francis shared cofirst-place honors with 27 points apiece.
Woodside took third place with 21 points.

Hirscher dominates bumpy Badia course Vonn crashes

to delay 62nd
World Cup win

By Andrew Dampf
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALTA BADIA, Italy Marcel Hirscher

beat Olympic champion Ted Ligety by a
large margin Sunday in an unusually bumpy
World Cup giant slalom race for his third
consecutive victory in technical events.
Extending his first-run lead, the threetime defending overall champion from
Austria clocked a two-run combined time of
2 minutes, 30.17 seconds on a Gran Risa
course with so little snow that it was much
more rugged than usual.
It was definitely one of the toughest races
this season. It was like mogul skiing or
moto cross skiing, Hirscher said. But
were not searching for easy races. Were
searching for challenges.
Ligety, the American who has twice won
this race, moved up from seventh after the
opening leg to finish second, 1.45 seconds
behind. Thomas Fanara of France placed
third, a further three hundredths back.
Unable to curve his usual smooth, higharcing turns in the first run, Ligety altered
his tactics for his second trip down.
Second run I just tried to go and,
whether it felt horrible or not, just try to
follow the fall line more, said Ligety,
who is competing with four screws inserted into his left hand after breaking his
wrist in a training accident last month.
Whereas first run I was trying to be
smooth and the snow wasnt letting me do
it. I just kind of went with it more.
It was Hirschers third career victory on
the Gran Risa, having also won this race last
year plus a slalom in 2011.
Italian great Alberto Tomba holds the
record of four wins on the Gran Risa, while
Massimiliano Blardone of Italy and Kalle
Palander of Finland have also won three
times.
It was not always as fun as it is right
now, Hirscher said of his solid form.
While Fanara is still seeking his first career

Austrias Marcel Hirscher won Sundays World Cup giant slalom, topping Ted Ligety of the U.S.
by 1.45 seconds in the overall event at Gran Risa in Alta Badia, Italy.
win, this was his third podium result in Badia.
Coming here is always inspiring,
Fanara said. And it also favors my technique. I feel very comfortable here.
In the overall, Hirscher moved within 70
points of leader Kjetil Jansrud, who finished
14th after winning a super-G in Val Gardena
a day earlier.
In the GS standings, Hirscher holds a 74point lead over Ligety.
Last weekend in Are, Sweden, Hirscher
swept a giant slalom and slalom. He has finished on the podium in all six technical
events this season, with four wins, one runner-up finish and one third-place result.
Conditions were clear and the temperature
was near the freezing level but, with so little

snow having fallen in the Dolomites this

season, the course was made up almost
entirely of artificial snow. And there wasnt
enough snow to provide the smoothly
groomed and icy surface that is usually associated with the Gran Risa.
Alexis Pinturault of France finished fourth
and Feliz Neureuther of Germany was fifth,
while Filip Zubcic of Croatia posted an
impressive seventh-place result with the
No. 64 bib.
Steve Missilier, another Frenchman, was
having a solid second run until his left ski
popped off when he hit a bump while
approaching a gate.
The circuit moves to Madonna Di
Campiglio for a night slalom Monday.

VAL DISERE, France American Lindsey

Vonns bid for a record-equaling 62nd World
Cup win will have to wait
a little while longer.
The four-time World
Cup winner crashed out of
Sundays super-G race
after entering a gate
slightly too wide, as
Elisabeth Goergl beat
Olympic champion Anna
Lindsey Vonn Fenninger by .05 seconds
to lead an Austrian 1-2.
Although Vonn did no damage to her
t ro ub l es o me ri g h t k n ee aft er o n l y
starting to race again recently following
two operations she landed heavily on
her right elbow.
I was risking everything and attacking
the course. That sometimes happens in
super-G, you dont have any training runs
and you have just one inspection, Vonn
said. I hit my elbow, somehow funny. I
have some ice on it. Its just a little bit
swollen but no big deal.
After winning Saturdays downhill, Vonn
was looking for a fourth consecutive podium finish and was .01 ahead of Georgls
time on the first split.
I didnt feel quite as sharp as I normally
do, Vonn said. I was a little bit tired, yesterday was a very long day.
She was looking to move level with
Austrian great Annemarie Moser-Proll for
all-time wins.
Perhaps fittingly, Vonn can now do so at
the Austrian resort of Bad Kleinkirchheim,
where there is a downhill and a super-G set
for Jan. 10-11.

Burns shoots Sharks past Blues in overtime

By Rick Eymer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN JOSE Joe Thornton figured he

would just toss the puck into a dangerous
area and trust that someone would be there.
Brent Burns scored a power-play goal
4:22 into overtime after Thornton assisted
on San Joses tying tally, and the Sharks
rallied past the St. Louis Blues 3-2 Saturday
night for their season-best fifth straight
victory.
Marc-Edouard Vlasic scored with 21 seconds remaining in regulation to tie the
game for the Sharks. Thornton dug the puck
out of the corner before delivering the pass.
It was a good all-around game with two
good teams going at it, Thornton said. We
waited for the last minute to score in regulation and we waited until the last minute to
score in overtime. I just figured somebody
was going to be there.
Vlasic was the recipient of the pass and
converted his fourth of the season.

Brazil women
draw with U.S.
THE ASSOCAITED PRESS

BRASILIA, Brazil Brazils womens

soccer team drew 0-0 with the United States
on Sunday to win the
I n t e r n a t i o n a l
Tournament of Brasilia.
Brazil had the tiebreaker in the final because it
finished with the best
result in group play at the
four-team competition in
the nations capital.
The hosts controlled
Becky
possession during most
Sauerbrunn of the match but it was
the U.S. that came close to scoring the winner just before the final whistle. Defender
Becky Sauerbrunn headed the ball toward the
net but it struck the crossbar after being
tipped by Brazilian goalkeeper Luciana.
The Americans also had a late goal disallowed for offside. Brazil appealed for a
penalty earlier in the second half.
China finished third after a 0-0 draw
against Argentina in the first game of the
day at the Mane Garrincha Stadium.

Smart man, Vlasic

said
of
Thornton.
Theres a lot of ice available and with Jumbo
making that pass, hes
not going to miss. It
took a lot against a good
defensive team. We found
a way to get a late goal,
Brent Burns but we had a lot of opportunities before that. Its
nice to get the win the way we did.
Steve Ott scored his first goal in 10
months late in the second period to put the
Blues ahead.
The most disappointing part of it is
team-wise we played extremely well and we
didnt get the job done, Ott said.
Collectively we made some mistakes and
unfortunately those mistakes happened late
in the game and in overtime.
Patrick Berglund also scored for the
Blues, who endured their second straight
disappointing defeat. St. Louis lost 6-4 to

in the second. Alex Pietrangelo ripped a

shot from the blue line to set up Berglund.
Maxim Lapierre led Ott with a nice pass
and he finished the 1-on-1 against Niemi.
Burns acknowledged he shot the gamewinner as hard as he could.
He has a shot, doesnt he? Sharks coach
Todd McLellan said. He put himself in a
good position, created a shooting lane. The
pass was in his wheelhouse; he just pounded
away at it. Its hard to stop a shot that fast
and quick.
NOTES: Blues C David Backes became the
10th player in franchise history to appear
in 600 career games.
Sharks D Mirco Mueller will play for
Switzerland in the World Junior
Championships that begin next week in
Canada. Thornton moved into a 22nd-place
tie with Phil Esposito on the career assists
list with 873.
The Sharks announced their first sellout
in 11 games. San Jose had a 205-game sellout streak that ended earlier in the year.

PROVO, Utah A week earlier he was carried off the court with a severely sprained left
ankle.
He didnt practice all week and wasnt
expected to play.
But Tyler Haws scored 24 points and Chase
Fischer added 16 to lead BYU past Stanford
79-77 on Saturday night.
I didnt know if I was going to go, but I
went out in warm-ups and it felt pretty good,
Haws said. It tightened up a little bit (during
the game) but that was expected.
After BYU built a 13-point lead late in the
game, Chasson Randle missed two 3-point
shots in the final six seconds that could have
won it for the Cardinal.
I thought we really picked it up defensively and sped them up a little bit, Stanford
coach Johnny Dawkins said.
The Cougars (9-3) got 15 points, 10
rebounds and seven assists from Kyle

Were an upper-echelon team and we have
to show we can close out games, Ott said.
San Jose, Los Angeles, those are the cream
of the crop and those are the teams we want
to beat.
Andrew Desjardins had a goal for the
Sharks, and Antti Niemi made 18 saves.
Jake Allen stopped 27 shots for the Blues.
Ott scored his first goal with the Blues in
his 55th game. He had played 59 games
since scoring against the Edmonton Oilers
as a member of the Buffalo Sabres on Feb. 3.
Desjardins scored midway through the
second period after taking a pass from
Justin Braun off the boards on Allens stick
side and getting the puck to bounce off the
goalies body from an extreme angle.
I would have liked to have the first one
back, Allen said. That was an unacceptable goal.
Berglund backhanded a rebound off
Niemis pads to tie it with 5:31 remaining

They had 15 offensive

rebounds, which were
worth 25 points. Thats
the ball game. That and
points off turnovers,
Dawkins said.
Haws made his first five
shots, including his first
three 3-point attempts, to
carry the Cougars to a 26Chasson
16 lead.
Randle
Hes just one of those
guys that has that special combination,
BYU coach Dave Rose said. He knows how
to compete and he has grit. But to overcome
the challenge he had to overcome is impressive. He said he wanted to help, and sure
enough he did.
Travis kept the Cardinal in the game early
by scoring 10 of Stanfords first 16 points.
Randle then took over to lead Stanford on
a 13-0 run to give the Cardinal its first lead
at 33-32.
The Cougars, who went scoreless for four
minutes, took a 36-35 lead at the half on a
layup by Collinsworth to beat the horn.
The game was back-and-forth for the first
10 minutes of the second half before two free
throws by Haws finished off an 8-0 run to
give BYU a 58-49 lead.
The Cardinal cut the margin to four on a
jumper by Nastic, but a layup by Fischer following a loose-ball scramble under the basket
gave BYU its largest lead at 72-59.
We had urgency from the start and we made

plays from the start, Collinsworth said.

A steal and dunk by Anthony Brown cut the
lead to 77-72. A 3-pointer by Randle with 54
seconds left made it a 79-77 game.
The Cougars turned the ball over but Randle
missed a long 3 attempt with six seconds left.
Winder then missed two free throws but Randles
running shot at the buzzer rattled off the board.
Weve got to learn to finish games the
right way, but a win is a win, so well take it,
Haws said.
We had come close in a few others and didnt win, so it was important for us to win a
close game like this, Rose added.

Bench duel
Winder scored all of BYUs bench points
and scored them all in the final 15 minutes.
Stanford had only 12 bench points and seven
came from Roscoe Allen, a starter in the
Cardinals eight previous games.

Half-court game
The two teams scored a combined 59 fewer

and had only 14 fast-break points combined.

Jets players speak out on murdered NYPD officers

By Dennis Waszak Jr.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.

when he heard the news Saturday
that two New York City police officers were killed in the line of duty.

scored 10 of her 18 points in the
second half, and No. 10 Louisville
beat No. 24 California 70-57 on
Sunday in a rematch of their 2013
national seminal.
Shawnta Dyer matched her season best with 12 points for the
Cardinals (11-1), who have won
three straight since losing at
home to No. 13 Kentucky two
weeks ago. Jude Schimmel added
11 points, and Mariya Moore had
10.
Reshanda Gray had 17 points
and 10 rebounds for the Golden
Bears (7-3), who have lost three
straight for the rst time under
coach Lindsay Gottlieb. Brittany
Boyd added 11 points, and Gabby
Green scored 10.
The Cardinals beat the Golden
Bears 64-57 in last years Final
Four, and then lost to Connecticut
in the title game.
The rematch also was a close
one, with Mercedes Jefo hitting a
3-pointer early in the second half
to help California get within two.
The Golden Bears came out pressing and forced ve Louisville
turnovers in the opening minutes
of the second half.
The Cardinals then scored 14 of
the next 19 points to open a 60-49
lead with 9:04 left. Hammond
capped the surge with a layup.
Schimmel hit three 3-pointers
in the rst half, one off her career

career-best nine rebounds.
Megan Deines hit a 3-pointer
with 12 seconds remaining in the
rst half to help the Cardinals to a
42-34 lead at the break.

Ramos and Wenjian Liu, who were

murdered in Brooklyn.
Some innocent blood was
spilled, Richardson said after
New Yorks 17-16 loss to New
England. Im not with that at all.
Thats the message that Im trying
to get across. Its sad, real sad that
two officers lost their lives and
cant go home to their families.
Its just tough, man.
Richardson, from the St. Louis

area, had recently been critical of

the grand jury in Ferguson,
Missouri, which didnt indict officer
Darren Wilson in the killing of
Michael Brown on Aug. 9. He wrote
on Twitter after the jurys decision
that they let this pig get off.
Ramos and Liu were shot while
sitting in their patrol car in the
Bedford-Stuyvesant section of
Brooklyn. The suspect, Ismaaiyl
Brinsley, wrote on an Instagram

account: Im putting wings on

pigs today. They take 1 of ours,
lets take 2 of theirs, officials said.
I dont know the guy, I dont
know the perp, Richardson said.
I just heard that two officers lost
their lives sitting in their car. Im
with the peaceful protests and stuff
like that, defending your rights. ...
Thats not the way to go, murdering
innocent cops.
Jets center Nick Mangold wore a

black NYPD cap while walking

into MetLife Stadium off the team
bus, and held it to his heart during
the singing of the national
anthem. The team also observed a
10-second moment of silence
before the game.
In St. Louis, Giants coach Tom
Coughlin wore a black strip on the
left shoulder and a peace sign under
the NY logo on his pullover for
the teams game against the Rams.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, debuted with $56.2 million over the weekend and $90.6 million since Wednesday.

Hobbit goes out on top with $90.6M

By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK While Hollywood

continued to wrestle with the fallout of
the Sony hacking scandal, the weekend box office offered the solace of a
moviegoing truism: Hobbits sell.
Peter Jacksons final installment of
his six J. R. R. Tolkien adventures,
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five
Armies, debuted with $56.2 million
over the weekend and $90.6 million
since opening Wednesday, according
to studio estimates Sunday. For an
industry reeling from the cancellation
of The Interview and terrorist threats
against moviegoers, Middle-earth provided reliable refuge.
Aided by popularity on Imax
screens, The Battle of the Five
Armies dominated the pre-Christmas

frame with a five-day haul similar to

the franchises previous entry, The
Desolation of Smaug, even if its actual debut weekend was notably less than

both prior Hobbit movies. In its

second week of release overseas,
Warner Bros. Five Armies added
$105.5 million to bring its two-week
global total past $350 million.
Jeff Goldstein, head of domestic distribution for Warner Bros., said the
healthy weekend of moviegoing was a
welcome respite after an upsetting
and so disturbing week.
Not only did we do business in
places that I would expect, like the
West Coast, we did business everywhere in the country, Goldstein said.
We didnt see that on the prior two
Hobbits.
Another final installment in a trilogy, Night at the Museum: Secret of
the Tomb, opened in a distant second

e got our
Aunt Doris
a Pet Rock
for Christmas in
1975. Pet Rock was
the name of a mass
marketed novelty toy
and one of the biggest
fads of the decade. The
genius behind it was
an ad executive living
in the Bay Area. In April of 1975, he was sitting in a bar
and supposedly conceived of the Pet Rock while listening
to friends complain about their pets. By December, Pet
Rocks packed on little beds of straw inside small cardboard carrying boxes with holes so the rocks could
breathe were being sold everywhere. Their creator
became a multi-millionaire in less than a year and we
helped by picking up one of the $3.95 pets for Aunt
Doris. It was actually the perfect pet for her. She loved
being in on the fad and would never have wanted to care
for a real pet. But, you might have a relative whos more
than ready. While some shelters and rescue groups refuse
to adopt a pet to someone giving the pet as a gift to someone else, Peninsula Humane Society is open to the idea.
Interestingly, the only national study on this subject
showed that pets given as gifts were actually less likely to
be returned than pets acquired other ways. Of course, there
are gift giving scenarios that would cause us to put on the
brakes. But, wed welcome many others. Parents picking
out a pet for their child? Sure, and we would steer those
parents toward pets we know to be good with kids. The
boyfriend who wants a cat for his girlfriend who just
might be a little allergic to cats? That wouldnt y. Each
situation is different. Our goal is to make it easy for our
pets to go into good homes. Happy holidays!

How do you joke

about the Sony
hacking? Carefully
By Jocelyn Noveck
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

How do you joke about the Sony

hacking story? After all, it was an
attempt at comedy that launched
this whole sobering mess.
If youre Chris Rock, you joke
about it cleverly but carefully.
Promoting his new movie Top
Five this week, he noted an added
bonus: My movies very Koreanfriendly. There are no jokes about
North Korea in Top Five. If youre
Korean, go out and see Top Five.
You will enjoy it.
Given that the fallout over an
unabashedly silly movie The
Interview, which Sony shelved
last week after a stunning cyberattack by hackers the U.S. has linked
to North Korea has escalated
into a serious global situation, one
would think comedy writers might
be a wee bit skittish just now.
But they ARE in the business of
satire, and this is one of the
biggest entertainment stories in
years.
And so, NBCs Saturday Night
Live didnt wait long to bring up
the scandal in fact, it didnt wait
one second. The show opened with
Mike Myers returning as Dr. Evil
from the Austin Powers movies,
taking jabs at Sony, North Korea
AND Hollywood.
Oh,
and
Republicans, and The Interview
actor James Francos Oscar-hosting skills.
Theres already a GOP, Myers

said, referring to the hackers who

call themselves Guardians of
Peace, and theyre already an evil
organization. Referring to hackers threats of terrorism over the
movie, he said that wasnt necessary: Its easy to kill a movie. Just
move it to January. As for Franco,
whose character in the film is
tasked with assassinating North
Korean leader Kim Jong Un, he
noted: The man singlehandedly
almost killed the Oscars!
Later, though, the show played
with the idea that maybe its all a
little soon. Comic Bobby
Moynihan appeared as Kim Jong
Un on Weekend Update, declaring he wasnt afraid. But then red
target marks appeared on his torso,
and he reversed course: Im Seth
Rogen, everybody! he said, trying to quickly mimic Rogen, a star
and director of the film, before
skedaddling off the set.
All in jest, but there probably IS
a sense of Is it too soon? out
there, says Janice Min, a veteran
entertainment industry observer
who oversees The Hollywood
Reporter and Billboard.
I would say were in an unprecedented era of fear right now, she
says, referring to the chilling
cyberattack that saw thousands of
Sony emails some deeply
embarrassing and other materials posted online. Things escalated
dramatically when hackers then
threatened violence against moviegoers, leading theater chains to

pull out and Sony to cancel the
Christmas opening.
Theres often a sense of
schadenfreude in Hollywood, if
something happens to a movie or
an executive, Min says. But in
this case the fear is so palpable,
people are thinking, what if this
were me?
Even in campaigns for the
upcoming awards season in
Hollywood, Min notes, every
publicist in town will be coaching
their stars on what to say and what
not to say, or what to post on
Twitter everything will be very
measured.

And so naturally, she adds, there

may be a chilling effect on comedy
one that might affect the sharpness of the jokes, for example, at
the Golden Globes or the Oscars.
Im going to venture that at least
until the issues are resolved, everyones too scared, and you dont
want to be the one making that
North Korea joke because you dont
want to be a target yourself, Min
says.
Given the magnitude of the
events, of course, its hard to imagine they wont be referenced at the
awards shows, especially the early
ones. Its the elephant in the

room, says Tim Gray, awards editor for Variety. You cant pretend it
didnt happen.
But just how safe the subject
may feel will depend on developments in the swift-moving story,
which could, at this rate, change
many times before sharp-tongued
hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler
take the stage at the Jan. 11
Globes, where the humor is generally more raucous and boozy
than at the Feb. 22 Oscars.
(Producers for both the Globes and
the Oscars declined interview
requests about plans for the
shows.)

decided upon by consensus of the societys
Board of Trustees, which presented the
award at the annual Christmas party Dec.
11, she said.
It just amounts to Vern is very, very
entitled to this award, Semke said. He
has done so much on the Train Museum.
This is not handed out all the time.
The society itself was founded in 1970
by residents concerned about the loss of
local historical buildings and resources.
The residents were spurred into action by
the potential demolition of the depot.

teachers. There are classes year round, but
the program doesnt run during the summer
since the majority of teachers head back to
Italy to see family during that time, Pagani
said.
As you go on, and as the language

the society created a Millbrae History

Museum in 1985 by relocating the 1895
Spring Valley Water Company managers
house to the Millbrae Civic Center.
The societys treasurer, Bruce, 58, first
joined the society in the mid-80s. The
award came unexpectedly for the alumnus
of Meadows Elementary School, Taylor
Middle School and Capuchino High
School.
I was really surprised, he said. Im
usually on to things like that, but they did
a good job of hiding it. Its quite an
honor.
Although he moved to Burlingame about
30 years ago, Bruce is still involved in the
Millbrae community. He owns Millbrae
Lock, a full-service locksmith company on
El Camino in Millbrae, and notes that
Millbrae remains important to him, as it is
his hometown. He joined the societys

board in 1997 and has served as secretary

and president of the group.
Ive always been interested in history,
he said. I was interested in Millbraes history and wanted to support the one organization we have here thats dedicated to its
history. Everybody really gets along well
and helps each other; no infighting of any
sort. Theres a lot of activities that we do.
The weather, the people and most of the
buildings are his favorite parts of
Millbrae.
Its still a very nice community even
though its changed, he said.
The first winner of the award was Mildred
Cavanaugh Wilson in 1980, followed by
James Van Hoften in 1984. Then in 1993,
John Brucato won the award, while James
Jim Wilson won the honor in 1994.
William W. Bill Baxter won in 1996.
Allan R. Bud Mason won in 1997. Alma

Massolo won in 2004. Mary Vella Treseler

won in 2008 and the most recent winner
was Helen Habeeb in 2011.
He (Bruce) has devoted time, talents and
energies to the Millbrae Historical
Societys efforts to educate, preserve and
enhance the history of our great community, said society President John Muniz
when he presented Bruce with the award. I
am proud to be your president and be able
to bestow the distinguished honor to one
of our beloved members. I am proud to be a
friend the recipient who has taught his
children the value of preserving and
enhancing the history of our community.

showing the film, unveiled its other holiday option. The studios Annie remake,
starring Quvenzhane Wallis as the titular
orphan, opened with $16.3 million.
It was nice shot in the arm, said Rory
Bruer, head of distribution for Sony, who
declined to discuss issues related to The
Interview. Were focused on Annie, he
said.
Last weeks top film, Ridley Scotts
Moses epic, Exodus: Gods and Kings,
tumbled to fourth place with $8.1 million
in its second week. The Fox release slid a
dramatic 67 percent.
Heading into one of Hollywoods most

lucrative weekends of the year, the

Christmas box office will be without its
top comedy option in The Interview,
directed by Seth Rogen and Evan
Goldberg. The film had been expected to
take in about $25-30 million.
With one major release now out of the
mix, that will leave more room for the
Disney musical Into the Woods,
Angelina Jolies World War II tale
Unbroken and The Hobbit.
Theres a huge opportunity there, said
Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst
for box-office tracker Rentrak. Theres
enough product out there to give it a very

satisfying, Christmas holiday leading

into the new year. Yeah, we are down one
film, but its a nice mix of films out
there.
On Sunday, David Boies, a lawyer for
Sony, said on NBCs Meet the Press that
The Interview will be released. The
studio has been criticized by many, including President Barack Obama, for dropping
the film following data leaks and intimidations from hackers the FBI has said came
from North Korea.
How its going to be distributed, I dont
think anybody knows quite yet, Boies
said.

becomes more difficult, you lose some of

the students the ones just interested in a
vacation of Italy, he said. Some of the students have been coming to us for the last 10
years.
Pagani said he enjoys working with the
young students, including the break time
when he gives the children chocolate and
his wife makes focaccia for them as well.
Hes generally know as the man with the
chocolate at the school, he said.

Its a pleasure to be there, he said.

In a way, Italian is the modern European
classical language, similar to Greek and
Latin, Pagani said.
Italian is probably the closest language
to Latin, he said. Its something you dont
find in any other language right now, plus
the sound is very good.
The winter/spring semester classes take
place at 825 Southwood Drive in South City
10 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Classes run from Jan.

10 to April 25. Tuition is $225 per student,

including teaching material, which includes
the book the school developed.

open to children older than 6 and adults of
all ages.

izing downtown.
So far, the streets have been
restriped and the city is working on
installing new parking meters and
bike racks. Another part of the plan is
to reconfigure the Caltrain station by
extending the platform south of its
current location and constructing a
$20
million
below-grade
pedestrian/bicycle underpass at the
southeast corner of the Grand Avenue
and Airport Boulevard beneath
Highway 101. The underpass would
provide access to the platform to better connect the areas east and west of
the freeway. Also planned is expanding Railroad Avenue to the east to connect it to Gateway Boulevard and
adding new roads to connect Sylvester
Road to the Railroad Avenue extension
and Gateway Boulevard. In the next six
months, the city will swap out all the
old parking meters in downtown with
new ones, possibly smart meters.
Small facade improvements could also
come be happening soon.
Still, dont start thinking the downtown will be transformed overnight,
said Mayor Rich Garbarino.
What needs to be remembered is its
not something thats going to immediately take place, he said. Nothing
on a massive scale yet is going to happen. Were not going to wave a wand
and transform Grand Avenue.
Within 12 months, the city hopes to
begin construction of the City Hall
Plaza, which would allow the city to
block off the street for pedestrians and
street fairs. Two other plazas include a
Caltrain Plaza and a Linden
Neighborhood Plaza. A $15.4 million

giving away items the needy might
not otherwise receive from a soup
kitchen or shelter.
The Christmas event actually grew
from an idea Brandon himself had
before he died.

Boulevard to Spruce Avenue would also

be part of the plan. Within 24 months,
the city hopes it will have the first
plaza built and the sidewalks extended
from 9 feet to 15 feet wide, while also
adding dedicated bike lanes. The city is
currently in the design stage for the
plaza.
Its (the plaza) the next most visible step in actually bringing the thing
to life, Futrell said.
Rising home prices are causing great
concern for residents in general,
Futrell said. Still, even if the city wasnt working on plans to revitalize
downtown, housing prices would still
be an issue.
If we are successful, it could cause
property values to rise even more, he
previously said. Were wrestling with
that issue and we dont yet really have
an answer to the rising rent crisis on
the Peninsula.
New housing would amount to 1,400
dwelling units as part of the plan.
There would be 800,000 square feet of
commercial space, 21,000 square feet
for industrial uses and 1.2 million
square feet of new office/research and
development space.
There are already three developments
in the works that include 266 units of
rental housing in downtown, 80 more
separate units and 90 units of affordable senior housing. These developments depend on changes within the
plan, including altering building code,
increasing density limitations and
building heights and changing parking requirements. Building heights
would be greatest within one-fourth
mile of the Caltrain station to allow
the highest densities of residents and
employees within an easy walk of the
transit service, according to the plan.
Additionally, as part of a transit-oriented plan in the city, the Planning
Commission voted to recommend the
City Council approve a plan for adding

35 homes to the last bit of city farmland near the South San Francisco
BART station.
The plan can also be amended in the
future as the economy changes and new
councilmembers take over, Garbarino
said. Potential funding could come
from creating financing districts,
assessment districts, a business
improvement district, development
impact fees, a city affordable housing
trust fund and city housing bonds.
Other options include using the countys half-cent sales tax Measure A, a
city housing fund, revenue bonds, general obligation bonds, the citys general fund, a public benefit assessment
district, grants from the region and
state, along with federal funding.
The Planning Commission looked at
the plan Thursday night, but continued
the item to a special meeting Jan. 8.
Theres a possibility at that meeting
the Planning Commission will vote
on the plan to recommend it goes to
the City Council for review. The City
Council itself should be voting on the
plan and its accompanying environmental impact report at its Jan. 28
meeting.
In other city news, with Garbarino
recently named mayor, he has two
areas hed like to focus on in the next
year. The first is to identify historic
sites like the 12 Mile House, built in
the mid-1800s as a stagecoach stop 12
miles from downtown San Francisco,
with plaques with history of the site on
them. The second is to establish more
green areas and open spaces in the
city. Hed also like to encourage developers to include green space, such as a
community garden, in their plans.

In August, while home on a visit

from London where hed lived the last
three years, Wesson told a close friend
he planned to come back in March and
distribute food and 100 sandwiches to
the homeless.
Wesson, his mother remembered,
saw a significant amount of homeless
people in London and even as a child
was struck by the so-called T-shirt
lady known around San Mateo who
would randomly walk through his
playground at St. Catherines school
in Burlingame.
He was always sympathetic, Uribe
said.
After Wessons death, his friend
Steve told Uribe about his plan and
suggested they follow through and
move the date up to Christmas. Uribe
was on board, as is his stepfather and
sister who is flying in from Ohio that
day and heading straight from the airport to distribute with the others.

Other friends also contributed time and

money. Uribe is impressed with where
the team has gotten so far but said any
other assistance is greatly appreciated
especially to make this an annual tradition.
Christmas participants will wear Tshirts bearing a photo of Wesson
walking through London draped in an
American flag during the Olympics.
The shirts will bear the words Youre
welcome and Wesson Winter
Giveaway 2014.
Im really hoping well have Tshirts too that say 2015, 2016 and
beyond, she said.
