City: Ban
smoking
in public
Foster City Council wants
updated ordinance, refuses
to regulate private property
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Smoking in public could soon become illegal in Foster
City after the City Council instructed staff to draft an ordi-
nance prohibiting smoking on the streets and sidewalks at
a study session Monday night.
It was the third meeting concerning the city’s 17-year-old
smoking ordinance and the council decided to move forward
with prohibiting smoking on any city-owned property and

At their root, Judge Beth Labson
Freeman believes all court cases are
about people.
The dispute might be civil, it might
be criminal. The case might be a
restraining order against a bullying
teenager or a contract dispute between
two businesses. But boiled down, the
newest judge on the federal bench sees
her job as the final decision maker for
parties who can’t
reach their own con-
clusion.
“The heart of what
I’m doing is help-
ing people to
resolve their situa-
tions,” Freeman
said.
After 13 years
doing just that in
San Mateo County Superior Court,
Freeman is taking that skill to the U.S.
District Court in San Jose where she
said the federal law may be different but
the lessons honed locally are still
applicable.
The U.S. Senate confirmed Freeman
Tuesday with a 91-7 vote and also con-
firmed San Francisco lawyer James
Donato 90-5. Donato, 53, is a partner
in the firm Shearman & Sterling.
Freeman is the first San Mateo County
judge named to a federal judge seat.

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
It’s campy, it’s macabre and it’s just
plain fun. These are just some of the
ways to describe “Little Shop of
Horrors,” the 1982 rock musical pre-
sented by Foothill Music Theatre.
Based on the 1960 cult film by Roger
Corman, the show is set in a run-down
floral shop on Skid Row in the early
’60s. The place is owned by Mr.
Mushnik (Alex Perez), who has two
employees.
One is the nerdy but endearing
Seymour (Adam Cotugno). The other is
the sexy Audrey (Adrienne Walters),
whose self-esteem is so low that she’s
willing to put up with the abuse by her
sadistic boyfriend, dentist Orin
Scrivello (Jeff Clarke).
The shop’s fortunes improve when
Seymour brings in a strange plant.
Named Audrey II (voiced by James
Devreaux Lewis), it comes to demand
unusual nourishment before growing
ever larger. Soon Seymour becomes
famous, but he also must confront a
moral dilemma.
Serving as a kind of Greek chorus are
three street-wise young women,
Crystal (Lyn Mehe’ula), Chiffon
(Melissa Baxter) and Ronette (Megan
Coomans).
The two-act show is full of bouncy
tunes by Alan Menken with clever
lyrics by Howard Ashman, who also
wrote the book.
One of the more amusing songs,
especially for those who recognize the
references, is Audrey’s “Somewhere
That’s Green.” In it, she expresses her
dream of marrying Seymour and mov-
ing to a nice place like Levittown,
where their children can watch “Howdy
Doody” on their big-screen, 12-inch
TV.
Lots of fun in Foothill’s ‘Little Shop of Horrors’

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The man who prosecutors accuse of
severely beating a bisexual acquaintance
with a bicycle U-lock faces up to five years
in prison after pleading no contest Tuesday
to felony assault and inflicting great bodily
injury.
Prosecutors had sought a six-year maxi-
mum for Santos Manuel Marquez-
Montiagudo, 37, but the court capped it
slightly less. He will be sentenced May 7.
Marquez-Montiagudo and another friend
met up with the 55-year-old victim July 20
at a San Mateo taqueria where the victim
shared his bisexuality. After the trio left the
business to drink else-
where, Marquez-
Montiagudo told the vic-
tim not to walk by him
because he didn’t want
others to mistake him as
gay.
When the man refused
to leave, Marquez-
Montiagudo grabbed the
lock from his bike and
began beating his head
and body, according to
the District Attorney’s Office. San Mateo
police found the badly injured man near the
700 block of Santa Inez Avenue and
Marquez-Montiagudo at home.
Prosecutors originally charged him with
committing a hate crime in the attack that
left the victim with a fractured skull, jaw,
orbital bone and rib. However, a judge
dropped the charge for lack of evidence at an
earlier hearing.
His defense also claimed previously that
while Marquez-Montiagudo did fight with
the man it was not based in hate of his sex-
uality and that he reacted to first being
pushed. His attorney said all participants
were drunk and unclear about what exactly
did happen.
Marquez-Montiagudo remains in custody
on a $1 million bail pending sentencing.

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
The Bay Area is due to get some much-
needed rainfall Wednesday when the first of
two coming storms is forecast to spread
across the region, a National Weather
Service forecaster said.
The first storm, which is on track to hit
the Bay Area late Wednesday morning and
last into Thursday, could bring between a
half-inch to an inch of rain to communities
around the Bay Area, forecaster Matt Mehle
said.
Inland hills and coastal mountains could
see up to two inches of rain and a chance of
thunderstorms is predicted for the entire
region starting Wednesday afternoon.
After a brief respite of dry weather on
Thursday, a second and stronger system is
forecast to arrive on Friday morning and
last into early Saturday, Mehle said.
Strong winds are likely throughout the
day on Friday and moderate to heavy rainfall
could drop between a half-inch and two
inches of precipitation in various locations
around the Bay Area, Mehle said.
Though the weather service had not issued
any weather advisories or warnings as of
Tuesday morning, forecasters said downed
trees and areas of localized flooding are like-
ly to occur during the change in weather.
By Sunday, rainfall for most of the Bay
Area is likely to add up to two to three inch-
es, with pockets of up to five inches in some
locations, Mehle said.
The downpour is not likely to change the
current drought conditions persisting in the
Bay Area and throughout California, accord-
ing to Mehle.

MILLBRAE –
Thank you thank
you thank you.
This is what I hear
over and over, year
after year, from
families that we
serve. Either
verbally or in hand-written cards or letters
families say thank you: Thank for your
help; Thank you for all you have done to
make this process easier; Thank you for
making this final tribute to my mother one
which will be fondly remembered; Thank
you for your advice; Thank you for being
there for us at a time we needed you most;
Thank you for making it all easy for us;
Thank you for being a friend, etc. To hear
“Thank you” time and time again is a
confirmation for me that our Chapel of the
Highlands crew is doing their best to serve
families who’ve been through a death, in an
appropriate and professional manner, and
that we are doing the right thing in caring
for families during a difficult situation, in
turn making it more of a comfort for them.
Normally saying “You’re welcome” is
the correct response. You’re welcome, or
“You are welcome”, can be taken a number
of different ways. Generally it means you
are always a welcome guest. It can also be
taken as a blessing meaning you wish
wellness on the person who thanked you.
Wishing wellness or health to anyone is a
nice gesture. In recent years though we all
have witnessed the term “You’re welcome”
being substituted with “Thank you” back at
the person who is doing the thanking. This
is “OK”, but saying “You’re welcome” first
is taken as a hospitable and warm gesture.
Now that “Thank you” and “You’re
welcome” have been established, I would
like to say thank you back to the families we
serve: Thank you for supporting the Chapel
of the Highlands. Thank you for your
faithful patronage. Because of you we have
been able to continue with our high
standards and excellent level of service for
many years, since 1952. Thank you to those
families who we’ve helped so many times in
the past. Thank you to the new families
who’ve discovered that we offer them
respect and provide the dignified care that
their loved one deserves.
Your support, and the continued interest
from the community in our service, is what
keeps us going strong and available when
we are needed. Our costs have always been
considered fair, and the funds taken in for
our services are also very much appreciated.
Those Chapel of the Highlands funds along
with our support sifts back to the community
in different ways. Donations to local causes,
along with the donation of time through
membership in service organizations such as
Lions, I.C.F., Historical Society, Chamber
of Commerce, etc. is natural for us. Giving
back as a volunteer via these groups helps in
binding us with our neighbors, together
creating a better community for the future.
All in all there are many ways to say
“Thank you”. Doing so in a variety of ways
can create a circle of gratitude, in turn
making our community a better place.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info
you may also visit us on the internet at:

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Awell-dressed man with an Italian accent
in a nice-looking dark SUV has approached
at least two people in San Mateo asking for
directions to the airport, if those he
approached spoke Italian and may have tried
to sell leather jackets, said San Mateo
police Sgt. Dave Norris.
Police received an email from a member of
the community who advised he was contact-
ed by a man claiming to work for a high-end
clothing designer and wanted to sell leather
jackets before departing on a flight to Italy,
Norris said. The community member said he
was approached near Third Avenue and El
Camino Real by the nicely dressed man who
offered what appeared to be a fake business
card identifying him as Mr. Giuseppe,
Norris said.
The community member didn’t purchase
any clothing therefore no crime was actual-
ly committed, Norris said.
While he was off-duty and in plain clothes
about two weeks ago, Norris said he was
approached by a man matching the descrip-
tion of Mr. Giuseppe. He was near Hillsdale
Shopping Center when the man asked if he
spoke Italian and for directions to the air-
port, Norris said. However, the conversa-
tion ended when the man asked him what he
did for work and he replied he was a police
officer, Norris said.
At the time he didn’t think it was suspi-
cious but, after receiving an email describ-
ing a similar situation, he now thinks it
could have been the same person, Norris
said.
“It sounds similar, but he didn’t try to per-
petrate any fraud on me so I wasn’t certain it
was the same guy,” Norris said. “I think it’s
odd now that I know. ”
Similar encounters have been reported in
nearby cities but because it can be difficult
to prove a crime was committed in cases like
this, the public needs to be extra sensitive
to when they suspect fraud and contact the
police, Norris said.
“If someone approaches [you] on the
street, a stranger, and offers [you] some-
thing that appears to be a really great deal,
[you] should follow that old adage,” Norris
said. “If it seems like it’s too good to be
true, it probably is.”
Anyone with information regarding these
incidents should contact the San Mateo
Police Department at (650) 522-7700.

ASan Mateo County resident who recent-
ly traveled abroad tested positive for
measles last week, according to local health
officials who are promoting vaccines for the
unimmunized.
“While measles is highly infectious, it is
also a vaccine preventable disease,” county
health officer Dr. Scott Morrow said in a pre-
pared statement. “The recommended vaccine
schedule produces nearly 100 percent immu-
nity against measles, which is important
when there is an increase in the spread of
measles cases as we are seeing this year. ”
The patient is currently being treated and
the Health System issued advisories to all
health care providers suggested testing for
patients who have a fever and rash.
The county last reported a case of measles
in 2012. Statewide, 15 cases are confirmed
as of Feb. 21. The same time last year, there
were only two cases reported in California.
Nearly all recent measles cases in the
United States have been linked to interna-
tional travel and Dr. Catherine Sallenave,
the county’s communicable disease con-
troller, said it will become more common as
the viral disease spreads in many countries.
Symptoms of the airborne disease begin
with a fever that lasts for a couple of days,
followed by a cough; runny nose; red,
watery eyes and rash. The rash typically
appears first on the face, along the hairline,
and behind the ears and then affects the rest
of the body. Infected people are usually con-
tagious for four days before and four days
after their rash starts. Complications can
include diarrhea, ear infections, pneumonia
and even death. Infants, pregnant women
and people with comprised immune systems
are more susceptible to complications from
measles.

California ‘lifers’ leaving
prison at record pace
SAN FRANCISCO — Nearly 1,400 lifers in
California’s prisons have been released over
the past three years in a sharp turnaround in a
state where murderers and others sentenced to
life with the possibility of parole almost
never got out.
Since taking office three years ago, Gov.
Jerry Brown has affirmed 82 percent of parole
board decisions, resulting in a record number
of inmates with life sentences going free.
Brown’s predecessor, Arnold
Schwarzenegger, authorized the release of
557 lifers during his six-year term, sustain-
ing the board at a 27 percent clip. Before
that, Gov. Gray Davis over three years
approved the release of two.
This dramatic shift in releases under Brown
comes as the state grapples with court orders
to ease a decades-long prison crowding crisis
that has seen triple bunking, prison gyms
turned into dormitories and inmates shipped
out of state.
Crime victims and their advocates have
said the releases are an injustice to the vic-
tims and that the parolees could pose a danger
to the public. More than 80 percent of lifers
are in prison for murder, while the remaining
are mostly rapists and kidnappers.
NASA turns research
to California drought
FRESNO — NASA scientists have begun
deploying satellites and other advanced tech-
nology to help California water officials
assess the state’s record drought and better
manage it, officials said Tuesday.
The California Department of Water
Resources has partnered with NASAto use the
space agency’s satellite data and other air-
borne technology to better measure the snow-
pack, groundwater levels and predict storms.
“It sounds like a cliche, but if they could put
a man on the moon, why can’t we get better
seasonal forecasting?” Jeanine Jones of the
state’s Department of Water Resources said in
an interview following the Sacramento
announcement of the partnership.
Now they will. NASA scientists said they
are also embarking on projects that use satel-
lite images to help more accurately measure
the number of fields farmers have chosen not
to plant and where land is sinking because of
excessive ground-water pumping.
Gov. Jerry Brown directed state officials to
form such partnerships as part of his drought
emergency declaration last month.
Couple strike $10
million gold-coin bonanza
LOS ANGELES — A Northern California
couple out walking their dog on their proper-
ty stumbled across a modern-day bonanza:
$10 million in rare, mint-condition gold
coins buried in the shadow of an old tree.
Nearly all of the 1,427 coins, dating from
1847 to 1894, are in uncirculated, mint con-
dition, said David Hall, co-founder of
Professional Coin Grading Service of Santa
Ana, which recently authenticated them.
Although the face value of the gold pieces
only adds up to about $27,000, some of them
are so rare that coin experts say they could
fetch nearly $1 million apiece.
“I don’t like to say once-in-a-lifetime for
anything, but you don’t get an opportunity
to handle this kind of material, a treasure like
this, ever,” said veteran numismatist Don
Kagin, who is representing the finders. “It’s
like they found the pot of gold at the end of
the rainbow.”
Convicted state lawmaker
takes indefinite leave
SACRAMENTO — Astate senator convict-
ed of perjury and voter fraud is taking an
indefinite leave of absence as he awaits sen-
tencing this spring.
Sen. Roderick Wright, a Democrat who rep-
resents a Los Angeles-area district, requested
the leave during a meeting Tuesday with
Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg.
Steinberg, a fellow Democrat, said in a
statement that he accepted the request.
The senate leader had recommended letting
Wright remain in office until his sentencing.
That has been delayed until May.

Subway robbed in Belmont
Amasked gunman robbed a Subway sand-
wich shop in Belmont Monday and made off
with an undisclosed
amount of cash, accord-
ing to the Belmont
Police Department.
Around 8:45 p.m., a
man wearing a stocking
over his face entered the
shop on the 1600 block
of El Camino Real and
pointed a black semi-
automatic handgun at an employee. The sus-
pect stole cash then fled south on El Camino
Real, according to police.
The employee was the only person at the
shop and no one was injured, according to
police.
The suspect was caught on video wearing
a white Adidas jacket with a black stripe,
dark jeans and black gloves. He is thought
to be dark skinned, in his early 20s and
approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall with a
thin build, according to police.
Anyone with information should contact
the Belmont Police Department at (650)
595-7400 or its tip line at (650) 598-3000.
The burglary occurred less than a week
after another man was arrested for attempt-
ing to rob a Subway in Redwood City.
Thief attempts to rent luxury car
A parolee wanted on multiple criminal
charges was arrested Sunday after fraudulent-
ly attempting to rent a BMWfrom an airport
rental company, according to the San Mateo
County Sheriff’s Office.
Corbin David McDevon, a 38-year-old
San Francisco resident, was near the San
Francisco International Airport when police
contacted him around 12:20 a.m., according
to the Sheriff’s Office. McDevon refused to
reveal his true identity and was arrested for
burglary, identity theft and forgery, accord-
ing to the Sheriff’s Office.
After being fingerprinted, McDevon’s true
identity was established and police deter-
mined he had two no-bail warrants for a
parole violation, auto theft, giving false
information to police and being in posses-
sion of stolen property, burglary tools and
drugs, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
McDevon was also found to be in posses-
sion of personal information relating to at
least three separate crimes, one of which
was a vehicle burglary in San Francisco,
according to the Sheriff’s Office.
McDevon was booked into county jail.
Office building fire forces evacuation
ABelmont office building air conditioner
caught fire Monday afternoon forcing about
100 people to evacuate when the smoke
spread into the ventilation system, accord-
ing to the Belmont Fire Department.
An air conditioning system on the roof of
the four-story building at 1301 Shoreway
Road caught fire before 4:50 p.m. and
required the Belmont, San Mateo-Foster
City and Redwood City fire departments to
respond, according to the Belmont Fire
Department. The fire was quickly extin-
guished but not before the air conditioner
pumped the smoke through the ventilation
ducts to a section of the building.
No one was injured but those inside the
building were evacuated and forced to wait
until firefighters could extinguish the flames
and ventilate the smoke from the building,
according to the Belmont Fire Department.
Walmart scammer
targets South City woman
A South San Francisco woman was the
victim of a scam in which she received a let-
ter and a threatening phone call from a man
claiming to be a representative from
Walmart Mystery Shoppers, according to
the South San Francisco Police Department.
Around 11 a.m. Monday, Feb. 10, a letter
was delivered to the woman’s home contain-
ing a cashier’s check and instructions for
her to cash the check and spend or keep
some of the money at a local Walmart,
according to police. The letter instructed her
to send the remainder of the money via
Western Union to another Mystery
Shopper. The woman did not respond and a
few days later was contacted over the phone
by a man with a heavy foreign accent,
according to police. The suspect demanded
she follow the instructions and threatened
the FBI would come to her home if she failed
to comply, according to police.
After researching the check, she discov-
ered it was fraudulent and contacted police
before incurring any loss. This is a common
scam in which a demanding suspect targets
elderly victims, according to police.
If anyone with information regarding the
case should call the South San Francisco
Police Department at (650) 877-8900.
Man beaten, robbed in
residential neighborhood
A man was beaten and robbed in a South
San Francisco neighborhood early Tuesday

a man down in the driveway of a home in the
300 block of South Maple Avenue at about 5
a.m., according to South San Francisco
police.
An unknown suspect or suspects assaulted
the victim, a 38-year-old South San
Francisco man, and stole his wallet and cell-
phone, police said.

about the suspect, according to police.
Anyone who might have information
about the case is asked to call South San
Francisco police at (650) 877-8900 or an
anonymous tip line at (650) 952-2244.

Asiana Airlines penalized over crash
LOS ANGELES — In the first penalty of
its kind, federal transportation officials on
Tuesday docked Asiana Airlines $500,000
for failing to promptly contact passengers’
families and keep them informed about their
loved ones after a deadly crash last year at
San Francisco airport.
The U.S. Department of Transportation
said it took the South Korean airline five
days to contact the families of all 291 pas-
sengers. In addition, a required crash hotline
was initially routed to an automated reserva-
tions line.
Never before has the department conclud-
ed that an airline broke U.S. laws requiring
prompt and generous assistance to the loved
ones of crash victims.
Three people died and dozens were injured
on July 6 when Asiana Flight 214 clipped a
seawall while landing.
“The last thing families and passengers
should have to worry about at such a stress-
ful time is how to get information from
their carrier,” U.S. Transportation Secretary
Anthony Foxx said in a prepared statement.
Many of the families live in South Korea
or China, meaning the airline was their
main source of information on the crash
half a world away.
In a statement emailed to the Associated
Press, Asiana spokeswoman Hyomin Lee
said, “Asiana provided extensive support to
the passengers and their families following
the accident and will continue to do so.”
Aconsent order the airline signed with the
department says Asiana will pay $400,000
in a fine and gets a $100,000 credit for
“costs in sponsoring multiple industry-
wide conferences and training sessions in
2013, 2014 and 2015, to provide lessons
learned.”

Apediatric nurse who reportedly said she
“couldn’t take her job anymore and had to
have a drink” before after going down an
embankment and colliding into a car of
people last summer pleaded no contest to
drunk driving.
In return for changing her plea to the
felony on Monday, Gloria Kiyoko
Pedruco, 56, faces up to 90 days in jail
when sentenced April 16 and the possibil-
ity of its reduction to a misdemeanor
halfway through successful probation.
Pedruco, of Pacifica, drove onto the
shoulder of northbound Interstate 280 near
Serramonte Boulevard and down the
embankment at approxi-
mately 6 p.m. July 5.
Her vehicle hit a car
waiting at a stop light,
leaving the five people
inside with bruises and
cuts.
Prosecutors say
Pedruco asked the vic-
tims who hit who and
added that she needed a
drink after a tough day. Pedruco’s blood
alcohol level three hours after the colli-
sion was .18 and she had also ingested
Prozac and Xanex.
Pedruco is free from custody on $50,000

marked to shrink unfunded liabilities.
During a mid-year budget update Tuesday
morning, County Manager John Maltbie
laid out a timeline for getting the bonds to
market and noted that the total size is pro-
jected at $215.4 million which includes the
roughly $17 million the county already paid
for the Redwood City land east of Highway
101, $165 million for the construction and
the rest for interest payments, the investor-
required reserve and the expense of legal,
financing and underwriting.
The funds already spent on the land will be
repaid to the county’s capital fund for later
use, Maltbie said.
But Pine questioned if the county should
borrow the entire amount for the jail,
including money already spent on the land,
through the bond process when there is
extra revenue coming into the county
through various tax streams. Instead, he
raised the possibility of using the county’s
money to decrease the bond amount rather
than spending it to rein in retirement obli-
gations.
Maltbie said the choice ultimately falls in
supervisors’ hands but that in his opinion
pensions are the better choice to target.
“We have this bucket of liabilities and
we’re either borrowing money for a new
facility or we have the unfunded liabilities
and the pensions,” Maltbie said. “So it real-
ly becomes which liability do you want to
shrink?”
Last August, the Board of Supervisors
unanimously agreed to accelerate its paying
down of a near-billion dollar unfunded pen-
sion liability with a $50 million kickoff
payment followed by $90 million over the
following nine years. The payment plan,
using a combination of department reserves
and excess property taxes known as
Educational Revenue Augmentation Funds,
will drop the county’s annual required con-
tribution by $13 million by 2023-24 and
approximately $16 million by fiscal year
2041-42.
Pine and Supervisor Adrienne Tissier
agreed to meet with Maltbie ahead of the
board’s March meeting to approve the jail
financing structure. Currently, the tentative
date for pricing the bonds is April 2 with
them going on sale April 23.
The new jail is scheduled to open in 2015
with 576 beds for both men and women on
three stories and 40 feet of unfinished space
known as a warm shell which can be devel-
oped in the future if the need arises. Future
buildout can be up to 832 beds.
The jail financing was just one piece of
Maltbie’s midyear budget update in which
he painted a pretty rosy picture of the coun-
ty’s finances.
“I’m pleased to report this morning that
the county’s financial condition continues
to improve as the economy continues to
recover,” Maltbie said.
Maltbie pointed to the number of proper-
ties restored or in the process of being
restored to full value, a drop in the number
of assessment appeals and seven- to eight-
year maintenance of reserves at 20 percent
or around $200 million.
“It’s an exceedingly strong position for a
county to be in,” Maltbie said.
Revenue projections for the next five
years have moved from “conservative to the
conservative-moderate range,” with overall
growth through 2019 estimated at 2.7 per-
cent to 3.1 percent. Property tax is project-
ed to grow about 3.5 percent annually and
the Measure Asales tax — initially estimat-
ed at $68 million annually but now updated
to $71 million — will see 3 percent to 4
percent increases over the next five years,
he said.

SACRAMENTO — More than three
months after it opened for business,
California’s online health insurance mar-
ketplace had what federal officials described
as a potential security flaw in its computer
system and one that had already been dis-
closed publicly.
The concern is noted in a Jan. 10 email
between officials with the federal Centers
for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the
agency that oversaw development of the
online exchanges.
“CMS is now aware of a vulnerability
with the CA exchange that has not been
fixed and a reference to the weakness is
posted in the public domain,” said the mes-
sage sent last month from Tom
Schankweiler, the agency’s marketplace
information security officer.
The agency said it contacted Covered
California, as the state marketplace is
called, and learned that the state was already
aware of the issue and was addressing it.
There is no indication that any consumer
information has been compromised.
“That simply has not happened,” said
Dana Howard, a spokesman for Covered
California.
The exchange’s computer system is mon-
itored around the clock, and any security
concerns are addressed as soon as they are
spotted, Howard said. He described any
problems encountered to date as “computer
processing errors” that have been fixed.
“We certainly don’t have a security vul-
nerability, and we don’t have anything
that’s publicly posted,” Howard said
Tuesday.
The email from the Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services official was contained
in a batch of documents provided to
Washington, D.C., bureau of the Associated
Press. They show that more than two-thirds
of the states tapping into federal computers
to verify personal information were consid-
ered “high risk” for security problems
immediately before or shortly after the Oct.
1 launch of the health insurance market-
places.

The reason for
the water shortage
Editor,
There is only one answer to this
water shortage and it is not desalina-
tion. If you haven’t noticed lately, I
suggest you get out and check out
your highways and streets. You will
find them overcrowded and overbuilt.
We caused, not Mother Nature, this
drought. The Bay Area can only sup-
port so many people and we passed
that amount a long time ago.
Our city fathers don’t seem to know
when to stop building. It seems that
they are more interested in making
money by developing than taking
care of the people that live here.
Here’s what cities do: they build big-
ger highways to support the people
who are here, then they add more
developments because they say the
highways are bigger. It’s like adding
a bedroom to your two-bedroom
house then having six more kids.
If we start taking water from the
ocean, we’ll simply say we have more
water, so let’s build so more. Do the
math. Same with the water, except
now they are saying we all must cut
back on our water usage because we
are short of that valued commodity. In
the same breath that they say that,
they also are approving more devel-
opment. Have we all lost our common
sense?
If you live in the Bay Area and love
it here, it’s time to let your cities
know that enough is enough. Keep
this up and we will be just like Los
Angeles without the water.
Bob Nice
Redwood City
The water shortage blame game
Editor,
Numerous letters and Op-Ed pieces
have been written concerning this
longstanding problem. The city folks
think the farmers are using too much
water, which should be for them. The
ecology-minded are against dams. The
anti-nuclear folks are against desalin-
ization. The delta smelt lovers are
against using existing water for agri-
culture.
Our government bureaucrats believe
low-flow toilets and shorter showers
are the answer. The federal govern-
ment is promising money. I am not
sure what for, money can’t buy water.
The only solution is developing water
sources. There are three sources: build-
ing new dams, using Sacramento
River water or desalinization. The
population of California grows at a
rate of 4.4 million per decade. The
problem is not going away.

Water and energy
Editor,
California agriculture consumes
much more water than does the popu-
lation. Israel purifies 80 percent of its
waste water, and uses it for agriculture.
Israel invented drip irrigation, which
it has advanced to wetness sensors on
the emitters. Israel has developed new
technology for desalination, and has
five desalination plants in operation,
with a total population of only about
8 million. Israel has an extensive sys-
tem of reservoirs for water storage.
Israel has developed varieties of veg-
etables and fruit that need less water,
and grow them in hot-houses in the
desert. With little rainfall, Israel is
developing an excess of water, for
itself, and to sell to Gaza, Jordan and
other neighboring countries.
Israel has new innovations in bat-
teries for electric automobiles. It
quickly brought its natural gas discov-
eries into production. It has innova-
tive advances in wind and solar ener-
gy.
Israel is a leader in water and energy
programs. California, and the whole
world, needs to learn from Israel.

Missing the point
Editor,
Letter writer Matt Grocott complete-
ly misses the point, as most “believ-
ers” do, whether or not the “flood”
occurred isn’t the issue (“Evidence
supports scriptures” in the Feb. 24
edition of the Daily Journal).
The Bible claims it was an event
caused by, and predicted by, God as a
form of punishment — that is the
point of contention. Those of us who
are not believers don’t discount the
reality of natural disasters, we just do
not accept that they are purposely
used by some magic being. It is simi-
lar to the school bus driver in
Oklahoma asking why God let the tor-
nado strike her bus and injure the chil-
dren. The simple, and obvious reality
is God had nothing to do with it.

Letters to the editor
S
an Mateo County officials are
exploring the idea of creating
a mental health center that
would be an alternative to jail or the
hospital when it comes to individuals
in the midst of a significant mental
health crisis.
Too often, an individual dealing
with such a crisis is in the hands of
friends or families that do not want to
call the police or send their loved one
to a hospital for treatment. Even
worse, at times there are instances
when the person is in such a state that
police are contending with a poten-
tially violent situation. Sometimes
that potential manifests itself into
reality and the worst-case scenario
occurs — an injury or even death.
So how do we as a community con-
tend with such situations? Police have
ongoing training in mental health
crisis management but there can be an
alternative that could prevent the situ-
ation ever evolving to the point when
police are called.
And that’s why such a center is an
idea whose time has come. Mental
illness is a very real situation that
can become a crisis if not properly
managed. As evidenced by our crim-
inal justice system, many of those
arrested for a variety of crimes have
issues with mental health. The
capability of a respite center for
those contending with a crisis and
who are not currently considered a
harm to themselves or others is a
tremendous idea that has not had the
needed funding. Until now.
With the assistance of a countywide
half-cent sales tax increase passed by
voters in November 2012, there is up
to $2 million to purchase a property
and $400,000 to renovate as needed.
Now, the question becomes where
such a facility will be. Afacility like
this is always great in theory, but not
so much when it is being proposed in
a neighborhood. However, proper out-
reach and due diligence in finding a
location may make it more palatable
to those who are nearby. That is
always a challenge, but such a facility
is definitely needed. After all, provid-
ing a real option for those contending
with a mental health crisis before it
reaches a dangerous level is some-
thing for which our community
should always strive.
Mental health center an idea whose time has come Our ‘nanny’ state?
“I
f soft drinks were occasional treats, no nutri-
tionist would be the slightest bit concerned
about them. But they are produced and con-
sumed in vast quantities. Soft drinks have replaced milk in
the diets of many children as well as adults.” — Marian
Nestle, “Food Politics.”
Orange County is where I
grew up — a conservative
bastion if there ever was
one. And it seems it still is
if we judge by the Other
Voices item in the Feb. 22
Daily Journal from the
Orange County Register
titled: “Does state need to
warn you about soda?” It’s
about Senate Bill 1000 pro-
posed by state Sen.
William Monning, D-
Carmel, that would require
labels on soft drinks that
warn of their health consequences. But, according to the
piece, we must keep big government out of our lives no
matter how the food industry (specifically the soft drink
industry) may be having its way with us.
Concerned people have been trying to do something
about the overconsumption of those anti-nutritious drinks
that ply so many bodies with sweeteners (usually high
fructose corn syrup), caffeine and who knows what other
additives detrimental to health (Don’t forget the “secret”
ingredients). These products not only play havoc with the
health of those who consume them (especially children
and teens), they are a perfect example of how much certain
facets of our food industry manipulate the Food and Drug
Administration. After all, as Michael Pollan wrote in
“Food Rules”: “The more processed a food, the more prof-
itable it becomes. The health care industry makes more
money treating chronic diseases ... than preventing
them.”
The Register piece is a typical conservative posture.
Those who try to help improve the health of the populace
are berated for proffering a simple label that warns of the
product’s potential for harm. They believe we must not
interfere with anyone’s free choice even if they’re igno-
rant of what allowing their children to drink the stuff can
do to their health. No, we must sacrifice the future health
of our populace to enrich corporate interests. It’s the
American Way!
We need to remember what Ms. Nestle also wrote: “For
the most part, food company strategies are standard eco-
nomic practices and are legal. Whether they are ethical or
promote the health of the public is quite another matter.
The ways in which food industry practices distort what
Americans are told about nutrition — and compromise
food choices — raises serious issues that are worth con-
sideration by anyone concerned about nutrition and
health.”
Obviously, the writers of the piece believe it’s OK for
the industry to produce products that contribute to (if not
cause) various chronic illnesses. Apparently they don’t
believe in education, either, because if someone were to
take the labels seriously, it might interfere with free enter-
prise — one of the gods they worship. So how do con-
sumers evaluate their food choices? Since those who are
most in need of learning about nutrition are not likely to
read anything educational, how is the information sup-
posed to get to them? Oh, I forgot, the piece tells us: “the
risks associated with ingesting too much sugar are well
known without political prodding.”
We are also informed that “studies show that only 6 per-
cent of the average American’s diet comes from soda.”
Deliberately contrived to deceive! What does “average
American” mean? There are those (especially teens) who
drink large amounts of empty-calorie soft drinks regular-
l y. Some of us don’t drink them at all. The statistics
reported in Michael Moss’ very interesting book, “Salt,
sugar and fat” tell it like it is. He informs us that in 2011,
we in the United States consumed 32 gallons per person.
Is it a coincidence that we in this country consume by far
the most soft drinks and also have the greatest problem
with obesity compared to other countries?
So should we all stand by while our food industry has its
way with us in spite of the increasing ill health and med-
ical bills that may result? Should we put up with a food
industry that will get away with whatever it can to maxi-
mize profits? Shouldn’t we try to educate the naive,
gullible and uninformed who are at particular risk of
resulting health problems? If the labeling process con-
vinces even a few people to cut back on soda consumption
and to refrain from giving soft drinks to their children,
isn’t it worth it?
As Michael Pollan wrote about diabetes in “In Defense
of Food”: “Apparently it is easier, or at least a lot more
profitable, to change a disease of civilization into a
lifestyle than it is to change the way that civilization
eats.”

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEWYORK — Stocks were unable to
find any momentum on Tuesday.
The market drifted between gains
and losses throughout the day, then
headed steadily lower in the last hour
of trading. Investors found some sol-
ace in strong results from Home
Depot and Macy’s. The enthusiasm
was not enough, however, to offset an
unexpectedly steep decline in con-
sumer confidence this month, due
largely to bitter cold weather and win-
ter storms that affected much of the
country.
“The weather is having an impact on
everything, from homes, vehicles to
retail sales, but fortunately we expect
that pent-up demand to return later this
year,” said Joseph Tanious, a global
market strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds.
The Dow Jones industrial average
lost 27.48 points, or 0.2 percent, to
16,179.66. The Standard & Poor’s 500
index fell 2.49 points, or 0.1 percent,
to 1,845.12 and the Nasdaq composite
fell 5.38 points, or 0.1 percent, to
4,287.59.
Even the retailers, who have a ten-
dency to blame the weather for poor
results, had a valid point this time
around.
Macy’s reported an 11 percent rise in
fourth-quarter income that handedly
beat analysts’ expectations, but sales
came up short due to the weather. The
company said that at one time in
January, 30 percent of its stores were
closed because of inclement weather.
Home Depot had a similar story. The
nation’s largest home improvement
retailer said profits fell 1 percent from a
year ago, hampered by bad winter con-
ditions.
“We don’t like to use weather as an
excuse but we think we probably lost
$100 million in the month of January, ”
Home Depot’s chief financial officer,
Carol Tome, said in a conference call
with investors. “Atlanta was frozen,
for example. It was tough here.”
Investors were able to forgive
Macy’s and Home Depot for missing
analysts’ sales expectations. Macy’s
rose $3.19, or 6 percent, to $56.25 and
Home Depot closed up $3.11, or 4 per-
cent, to $80.98.
Investors were less forgiving about a
weak consumer confidence report.
The Conference Board’s index of
consumer confidence fell to 78.1 in
February from 80.7 the month before.
That was below the 80.1 level econo-
mists polled by FactSet were expect-
ing. The report is a closely watched
indicator of how likely consumers are
to spend money and keep the economy
moving forward.
The confidence slump was the latest
sign in the last several weeks that the
recent bout of cold weather has slowed
the economy. The regions that had the
biggest declines in confidence were in
the middle of the storm earlier in this
month that brought snow from Atlanta
to Boston.

Exchange disappearance
spells trouble for bitcoin
By Raphael Satter and Yuriko Nagano
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOKYO — The sudden disappearance of one of the largest
bitcoin exchanges only adds to the mystery and mistrust
surrounding the virtual currency, which was just beginning
to gain legitimacy beyond the technology enthusiasts and
adventurous investors who created it.
Prominent bitcoin supporters said the apparent collapse
of the Tokyo-based Mt. Gox exchange was an isolated case
of mismanagement that will weed out “bad actors.” But the
setback raised serious questions about bitcoin’s tenuous sta-
tus and even more tenuous future. At least one supporter said
the blow could be fatal to bitcoin’s quest for acceptance by
the public.
A coalition of virtual currency companies said Mt. Gox
went under after secretly racking up catastrophic losses. The
exchange had imposed a ban on withdrawals earlier this
month.
By Tuesday, its website returned only a blank page. The
collapse followed the resignation Sunday of CEO Mark
Karpeles from the board of the Bitcoin Foundation, a group
seeking wider use of the exotic currency.
Mt. Gox’s origins are rooted in fantasy instead of finance.
The service originally specialized in trading colorful cards
featuring mythical wizards and derives its name from a
game. The initials stand for, “Magic: The Gathering Online
Exchange.”
Consumer Reports names Tesla Model S its top pick
DETROIT — The Tesla Model S electric sedan is Consumer
Reports’ top pick in this year’s automotive rankings.
The magazine cited the Model S’s sporty performance and
technological innovations, including its 225-mile range.
But it acknowledged that the car is expensive. Consumer
Reports paid $89,650 for the Model S it tested.
For less than a third of that price, the Toyota Prius hybrid
got the nod as Consumer Reports’ top green car. The maga-
zine also cited strong fuel economy in naming the Honda
Accord as the top midsize car and the BMW328i as the best
sports sedan.
The rankings, now in their 18th year, pick Consumer
Reports’ favorites among the 260 vehicles its team has
recently tested.
California gas tax drops but pump price may not
CULVER CITY — The state Board of Equalization voted
Tuesday to reduce a gasoline tax by 3.5 cents per gallon —
but that doesn’t mean consumers will see a dip at the pump.
The board approved lowering the excise tax rate on non-
diesel fuel from 39.5 cents to 36 cents for the fiscal year that
begins on July 1, just as the summer driving season kicks in.
Gasoline suppliers pay the tax and aren’t required to pass
on the reduction to consumers.

If it was a boxing match, the referee would
have stopped it.
But since the Pacific Collegiate-Sacred
Heart Prep girls’ soccer game was a Central
Coast Section Division III first-round game,
the entire 80 minutes had to be played.
It was evident after only a few minutes
that the Gators were the dominant side. SHP
scored twice in the opening 10 minutes and
five times in the opening 14 minutes on its
way to a lopsided 7-0 win.
“That’s what CCS is all about,” said SHP
coach Ramiro Arrendondo. “You face teams
you don’t know much about.”
The sixth-seeded Gators will face a much
stiffer test when they take on No. 3 seed
Burlingame in a quarterfinal match at a site
and time to be determined Saturday.
It was evident Tuesday Pacific Collegiate
(8-5-4 overall), a team from the Santa Cruz
area, was overmatched. It took less than two
minutes for Sacred Heart Prep (17-2-2) to
strike as Olivia Athens threaded a perfect
pass between a pair of Puma defenders to a
streaking Alex Boudillon, who carried the
ball inside the 6-yard goal box before ham-
mering home the Gators’ first shot of the
afternoon.
It was the first of 15 first-half shots for
SHP, with 11 being on frame. The Gators
finished the game by outshooting the Pumas
26-1.
After misfiring on another few good scor-
ing chances, the Gators made it 2-0 at the
10-minute mark. This time, it was Athens
on the receiving end of a Tierna Davis pass,
burying her shot from 10 yards away.
Athens picked up her second goal a
minute later for a 3-0 SHP lead.
“The first five, 10 minutes, the girls came
out with a lot of intensity,” Arrendondo
said.

At 6-5, Sequoia boys’ basketball player
Chris Bene has the size to be a center. But
on the Cherokees roster, he is listed as a
guard/forward.
Bene used all his skills Tuesday night to
help lead the 11th-seed Cherokees to a 67-
52 win over unseeded Monta Vista-
Cupertino in a first-round game of the
Central Coast Section Division I tourna-
ment Tuesday night in Redwood City.
“Hopefully we make a run like last year, ”
Bene said, referring to the Cherokees
advancing to the Division I quarterfinals
last season.
As it stands, Sequoia will travel to No. 6
Palo Alto in a second-round Thursday night
at 7.
Bene filled up the stat sheet for Sequoia
(12-7), scoring a game-high 20 points,
pulling down 13 boards and blocking four
Matador shots. He also threw down two
massive dunks — including one in the
fourth quarter when he took an inbounds
pass, raced up the right sideline, cut into the
lane and off of one foot, rammed it home.
Bene was far from a one-man show, how-
ever. DJ Houston scored 10 points, all in
the second half, while Jarrett Crowell added
nine and Brady Stubblefield chipped in with
seven.
The Cherokees came out flying to start the
game, scoring 22 points in the first quarter.
All the momentum on the offensive end,
however, was tempered by the fact they
committed six fouls in the opening eight
minutes and Monta Vista (11-14) was shoot-
ing 1-and-1 nine seconds into the second
quarter.
The Matadors managed to hit only 11
shots from the floor all game long, but their
free-throw shooting kept them in the game.
Monta Vista attempted 33 foul shots, mak-
ing 27 of them.
“The flow (of the game) was up and down,”
said Sequoia coach Fine Lauese. “We’d do
something good on the offense end and then
commit a foul on the other end.”
Monta Vista center Ramana Keerthi was
the main beneficiary of all the Sequoia fouls
as he was 13 for 17 from the stripe —

It appears the Hillsdale girls’ basketball
team is saving its most complete brand of
basketball for when it matters most — play-
off time.
The Knights cleared their bench Tuesday
in what was a complete drubbing of Soledad
High School 66-27 during the opening
round of the Central Coast Section Division
III tournament.
An emphasis on pressure defense coupled
with arguably its cleanest execution on
offense this season translated to 12 different
Knights finding the scoresheet. In all,
Hillsdale shot close to 45 percent on the
night while overwhelming Soledad to the
tune of 24 turnovers.
“We just brought energy,” said Hillsdale
head coach Megan Hankins. “If we don’t
bring energy, the games are close. But no
one can match our intensity when we’re
ready to play. I’m really proud of the girls.
We had a tough one against South City (dur-
ing the PAL tournament) and I think they
really turned it around and showed them-
selves what they’re really made of. They
wanted to make the most of the CCS oppor-
tunity. And here we are, going to the second
round.”
“We played together,” said Hillsdale soph-
omore guard Emily Nepomuceno. “And we
had the same energy that we started with all
the way until the end. That’s what motivates
us. We just came out wanting it and we
played our hearts out today. We really want-
ed to make to the next level.”
For that, Hillsdale stepped on the acceler-
ator from the opening tip and pretty much
blitzed Soledad out of the gym. A19-point
first quarter, highlighted by Kara Ronberg’s
six points, was the quick start Hillsdale
needed. From there, the result was never
really in question. The Knights held Soledad
to just five points in the second quarter
while Nepomuceno and Marissa Otonari
paced Hillsdale with five points a piece in
that second frame. The Knights led 33-16 at
recess.
“I think we were getting what we wanted
out of our offense,” Hankins said. “I think
we look great going forward.”

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Marcus Lattimore
feels close to 100 percent and is counting
down the days until he can run free and easy
for the San Francisco 49ers.
The former South Carolina tailback is
back in his home state speaking to church
groups and running youth clinics and
camps. And through it all, he’s got April
21st circled in red —
that’s when the 49ers
open workouts and
Lattimore has the green
light to run as he did in
2012 before the second of
two devastating knee
injuries during college.
“The left knee, it feels
like nothing ever hap-
pened,” Lattimore told
The Associated Press by phone. “The right
knee, it feels great. Both feel balanced. I’ve
got my speed and I rarely get any soreness”
after workouts.
For Lattimore, that’s major progress after
facing questions following his injuries
while at South Carolina. He was one of the
Southeastern Conference’s rushing leaders
in 2011 when he tore ligaments in his right
knee in a game at Mississippi State and
missed the Gamecocks’ final six games.
After surgery and a furious rehab regimen
and saw him return to the practice field a
month ahead of schedule, Lattimore was
ready for his junior season. That ended in
October against Tennessee when he got hit
on his left knee, again needing surgery to
repair ligament damage.
Lattimore again worked to rehab, not
only to get back on the field but to prove to

PHOENIX — Oakland Athletics catcher
John Jaso will take his place behind home
plate in a game for the first time since suf-
fering a concussion when he was struck by a
foul tip on July 24.
Jaso was given the starting nod for the
spring training opener in Scottsdale on
Wednesday, a move A’s manager Bob
Melvin hopes will put Jaso at ease quickly.
Melvin said Jaso will play four or five
innings.
“We’ll see what he does right off the bat,”
Melvin said Tuesday.
Jaso, who said he’s treating it like any
other game, feels confident he’ll be fine.
“I’m just excited to get back there, get in
a game and call some pitches,” Jaso said.
The only thing he’s changed is his mask,
returning to the heavier steel frame designed
to withstand more force than the titanium
mask he wore the past few years.
“When I finally get involved, I won’t be
thinking about what happens if I get hit by
another foul tip,” Jaso said. “I have to go
out and do it and I’m going to go there with-
out thinking about what happened; like it
never happened.”
Jaso, the A’s opening day catcher last sea-
son, hit a home run in the same game in
which he was injured. He batted .271 with
21 RBIs before the concussion and was part
of a successful platoon with Derek Norris.
The concussion affected his vision,
including his depth perception. He said his
head finally cleared up in October, during
the postseason.
Jaso restarted baseball activity in
Arizona, serving as a designated hitter and
catching bullpen sessions for Fernando
Rodriguez, who missed last year after under-
going Tommy John surgery.
“It’s been a prolonged process,” Jaso
said. “It was good to rest and now it’s good
to get into a game.”
NOTES: Melvin said he was “dizzy” after
attending a meeting to discuss the latest
replay regulations and the updated home
plate collision rule. Replays were exten-
sively discussed. “There are reviewable
plays and non-reviewable plays and a lot of
both,” Melvin said. “They did a good job of
explaining things and the reasons for it. It
was a long meeting and rightly so. There
were things I certainly haven’t thought of
before.” Replays will be available at A’s tel-
evised games this spring. ... Melvin on INF

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — David
Backes went to Sochi hoping to bring home
a gold medal with the U.S. hockey team.
Instead, the St. Louis Blues’ captain brought
back a couple of stray puppies.
Backes and his wife, Kelly, rescued the
dogs from the streets of the Olympic city
with members of the Canadian team’s
entourage. Now in quarantine in St. Louis,
the dogs will eventually be given to good
homes.
“We’re just trying to widen our scope to
help animals across the (U.S.) and across the
world, and doing what we can,” Backes said
Tuesday, a day before the Blues faced the
Vancouver Canucks in the teams’ first game
after the Olympic break.
Backes said he and his wife did not origi-
nally intend to bring any animals back. They
were hoping to create awareness about shel-
ters that have been set up in Sochi to help
hundreds of stray dogs that received interna-
tional media attention.
“She doesn’t take ‘no’ very lightly,” he
said. “So when she saw those two pups and a
few more, she said we’ve gotta do something
to get these out of here and tell their story
and broaden the awareness of some of the
mistreatment of animals — and just the dif-
ference in (how) they treat their companion
animals and we treat ours.”
Backes and his wife, who have four rescue
dogs and two rescue cats in their home and set
up their own foundation, Athletes for
Animals, last November, received helped
from Canadian winger Jeff Carter’s girl-
friend, Megan Keffer, and defenseman Drew

Sochi Junior and Sochi Jake, were brought
back to the U.S. on an Air Atlas charter to
Newark and another flight to St. Louis.
“They fought for their lives every day on
the street and now they’re laying on our laps

Approval for their U.S. trip was only
granted Saturday when “there were tears” of
joy in Backes’ group. The pups slept in carri-

including 12 of 15 in the first half as he fin-
ished with 18 first-half points.
In the first quarter, Keerthi scored 12 of
the Matadors’ 14 points, with eight of those
coming from the free-throw line.
In the second half, however, Keerthi was
held to just 1 of 2 from the line as he fin-
ished the game with 19 points.
“I think we did a good job … being phys-
ical with him (in the second half),”Lauese
said. “We dropped to our (2-3) zone and were
able to control the tempo.”
The tempo was breakneck in the first quar-
ter as the Cherokees raced out to a 22-14
lead, connecting on 9 of 15 shots from the
floor.
They came back to earth in the second
quarter, however. After starting the second
period with a 10-2 run to take a 32-16 lead
— their biggest of the game — they then
went through a three-minute drought.
Monta Vista outscored Sequoia 9-3 during
that stretch and when Aditya Raju drained a
3-pointer, the Matadors trailed by 10 going
into halftime, 37-27.
In the third quarter, Bene — who was vir-
tually unstoppable when he had the ball in
the first two quarters — all but disappeared.
He stopped getting touches and the
Cherokees struggled to put the ball in the
bucket. Sequoia was outscored 15-9 with the
Matadors going the final 4:50 of the quarter
on a 13-2 run to cut its deficit to 46-42
going into the fourth quarter.
“Some quarters I take breaks,” Bene said,
admitting he is still getting used to the fact
of being on the floor almost the entire
game.
Even though he wasn’t getting touches,
he was directing teammates on where to be
and where to run the offense.
“One of the things I’m not very good at is
leadership. I’ve been working on it,” Bene
said.
In the fourth quarter, however, both Bene
and the Sequoia offense ramped back up and
the Cherokees finished on a roll, scoring 21
points and pulling away from Monta Vista.
Sequoia opened the final period with a 13-
2 run. Houston knocked down a jumper to
push the Cherokees lead back to six, 48-42,
and Crowell followed with a fall away
jumper. Houston then converted a three-
point play before Bene took over.
He missed his first shot of the quarter but
grabbed the rebound and put it back in to
push the Sequoia lead to 55-42 with 5:13
left. He then came back with a reverse layup
for a 57-42 advantage and following a pair
of Monta Vista free throws, Bene brought
the house down with his coast-to-coast flush
to put the Cherokees up 15 with 3:15 to
play.
“It’s a good team win for us,” Lauese said.
In Division III action, No. 11 Terra Nova,
No. 10 South City, No. 12 San Mateo and
No. 9 El Camino all advanced to the second
round Thursday. Oceana saw its season come
to an end with a 76-52 loss to No. 12

NEWYORK — New York Knicks point guard
Raymond Felton was arraigned on two felony
weapons possession charges in Manhattan
Criminal Court on Tuesday, following his early
morning arrest after a lawyer for his wife turned
in a loaded semi-automatic handgun allegedly
belonging to the basketball star to a police
precinct, claiming she no longer wanted it in
their home, authorities said.
Wearing a black sweatshirt with a peace sign
and other symbols on it, Felton was seemingly
upbeat as he appeared before Judge Diana Boyar,
nodding affirmatively after he was ordered to
stay away from his wife, Ariane Raymondo-
Felton. He did not enter a plea, which is com-
mon for this stage in the case.
“Mr. Felton has no interest in having con-
tact” with her, one of his lawyers, James
Walden, told the judge. Court records show she
filed for divorce from Felton last week.
Felton was released on $25,000 bail and was
ushered into a black SUVfollowing his arraign-
ment. Under the terms of his bond, Felton can
travel to games, bail bondsman Ira Judelson
said.
Prosecutors said they were told Felton stored
the Belgian-made FN Herstal model handgun in
the home from August through February. A
lawyer for Felton’s wife, a student at Fordham
University School of Law, dropped off the
weapon at a stationhouse on Manhattan’s upper
West Side on Monday evening, shortly before
tipoff of the Knicks game against the Dallas
Mavericks at Madison Square Garden, police
said.
The gun had 18 rounds of live ammunition in
its magazine, which can hold about 20 rounds,
prosecutors said.
He was charged with criminal possession of a
weapon in the third degree and criminal posses-
sion of a firearm. The firearm charge is punish-
able by up to four years in prison. The weapons
charge is punishable by up to seven years in
prison. The section under which he was charged
concerns having a large-capacity ammunition
magazine.
Police had arrested Felton on charges that
included a mid-level weapons-possession
charge that can entail having a loaded gun out-
side one’s home or business or having a loaded
gun with the intention to use it against some-
one. The DA’s office didn’t comment on why
prosecutors chose the charges they did; it’s not
uncommon for charges to change between arrest
and arraignment.
Investigators reached Felton by contacting
the director of security at Madison Square
Garden after his wife made a statement to detec-
tives Monday night, police said. Felton turned
himself in at 12:50 a.m. Tuesday, not long after
the Knicks’ buzzer-beater loss to Dallas, police
said.
The former University of North Carolina star
made no statement after he arrived at the
precinct with a lawyer, police said.
AKnicks spokesman has said the team had no
immediate comment. An attorney for
Raymondo-Felton didn’t comment. The Knicks
had no game scheduled Tuesday.
Felton had eight points and seven assists
Monday in the Knicks’110-108 loss to Dallas.
The Knicks brought the point guard back for a
second stint in New York in July 2012, opting
to let Jeremy Lin leave, and Felton helped the
Knicks win the Atlantic Division last year.
But he has had a disappointing season, aver-
aging 10.4 points and shooting 40 percent
while missing 16 games with a series of
injuries. He has been frequently criticized by
fans as the Knicks have fallen to 21-36.
NBA spokesman Tim Frank said the league
was monitoring the case. It could fine or sus-
pend Felton, but usually waits until after the
legal case has been resolved.
The league did break from that policy to sus-
pend Gilbert Arenas for the remainder of the sea-
son after he brought guns to the Washington
Wizards’ locker room during the 2009-10 sea-
son. He was eventually sentenced to 30 days in
a halfway house.

NFL teams he was worth drafting. The 49ers agreed and
selected Lattimore in the fourth round last spring and told
him not worry about rushing back to play last season.
It wasn’t easy, but Lattimore understood the patient
approach would prove fruitful down the road.
“I was just so grateful they believed in what I could do,”
Lattimore said.
Lattimore held a youth football clinic in Charleston this
past Saturday and has similar sessions planned for
Greenville and Columbia the next few months. Lattimore’s
kept a high profile in South Carolina since heading to the
West Coast as a spokesman for several organizations,
including a commercial for the South Carolina Education
Lottery about playing responsibly.
These days, he’s promoting South Carolina’s First
Choice Fit Adolescent Well Visit campaign, which stresses
the importance of proper nutrition, exercise and building a
relationship with a primary care physician among adoles-
cent first choice Medicaid plan members statewide.
Lattimore said he learned through his injuries about not
cutting corners with your health and believes young people
who follow that advice will see the benefits throughout
their lives.
Dr. Marion Burton, medical director for the South
Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, says
the group couldn’t have a more well-respected representa-
tive than Lattimore. Many health professionals and admin-
istrators don’t have a way to communicate with adoles-
cents, but “Marcus sure does,” Dr. Burton said.
Lattimore said it wasn’t easy watching from the sidelines
while his San Francisco teammates were playing. He bond-
ed the strongest, he says, with other injured players in sim-
ilar rehab situations. Lattimore says he poured himself into
learning coach Jim Harbaugh’s playbook so he’d be as pre-
pared as possible for workouts. “Man, it’s thick,” he joked.
He’s spent time with 49ers running back Frank Gore, who
returned from college injury to become a five-time Pro Bowl
selection in San Francisco. Lattimore says Gore has pro-
vided a strong example of how to handle oneself as a pro.
Lattimore was nervous about moving so far away from
home and small-town life, but his family came out frequent-
ly and he learned that San Francisco had its positives, too.
“This is a very healthy place,” Lattimore says. “People like
to eat right and do lots of things to keep fit.”
Lattimore believes for him that’s going full speed so he
can contribute to the 49ers quest of getting back to the
Super Bowl, where they lost to the Baltimore Ravens after
the 2012 season. He says he tells himself all the time to
remain patient when he’s back in action. “I can’t go out
there and be Superman the first day,” he says. “Once I get
back in the groove and take a few hits, I’ll be OK.”

49ERS
It’s easy to see how Hillsdale’s offensive performance on
Tuesday could be a great confidence boost for them going
forward. Always a tough and feisty team, against Soledad
the Knights tapped into a bit of finesse. In the third quarter,
they shot a cool 50 percent from the floor while taking
leads of up to 21 on a couple of occasions. Soledad pulled to
within 17, but Ronberg’s back-to-back baskets pushed it
over 20 again and Hillsdale led by 23 going into the fourth
quarter.
“It was really great,” Hankins said. “Trying to explain
that to kids, they’re like, ‘Coach, my shot isn’t going in’
but they know if we play hard defense, the buckets will
come. I think we made it a lot easier on ourselves going for-
ward and I think if we keep up this energy, we can go pretty
far. ”
In total, 12 different Knights scored. Ronberg scored 12
while Nepomuceno added 11. Caelynn Hwang was also in
double digits with 11.
“I think the message tomorrow is to pick up where we left
off today, with the energy,” Hankins said. “We have to exe-
cute better in the half court. And we have to cut down on our
turnovers.”
In other CCS action, a strong defensive effort fueled
Mills’ 42-23 win over James Lick High School in Division
III action. The Vikings held James Lick to just nine first-
half points.
Mills shot 28 percent from the floor and were led by the
efforts of Aubrie Businger, who scored 10 points and pulled
down 12 rebound. Madison Sui led all Mills scorers with
12. Julia Gibbs added nine.
Defense was the name of the game at Burlingame where
the defending CCS champion Panthers took down Gilroy,
37-24.
The Mustangs of Capuchino recorded an opening round
win as well by taking down Live Oak 70-61 in Division III
action.
And finally, after the teams were tied at 18 going into
halftime, Half Moon Bay pushed past Santa Catalina 44-36
in Division IV action.

AUSTIN, Texas — Dale Earnhardt Jr. is all over the place.
No time at all to process the significance of his second
Daytona 500 victory.
Earnhardt has been traveling almost non-stop since he
won NASCAR’s premier race Sunday night. He made a cou-
ple of national TVappearances before arriving in Austin for
a stop on behalf of Texas Motor Speedway on Tuesday after-
noon.
NASCAR’s most popular driver snapped a 55-race losing
streak dating to 2012. He also won the Daytona 500 a
decade ago.
“When I won it early, it was a huge shock,” Earnhardt said
at a restaurant in downtown Austin. “The feeling that I had
wasn’t really joy. It was more relief that I got it out of the
way. Then, after another couple years, you wonder if you’ll
ever win another one. As those years have turned into 10
years, you’ve really got to wonder if you’ll ever feel that
again.”
Earnhardt got his answer last weekend, when he led six
times for a race-high 54 laps after a rain delay of 6 hours, 22
minutes. He was the runner-up three of the last four years at
Daytona International Speedway, where his father was
killed in an accident on the last lap of the 2001 race.
“I want to think I have an idea of what the value of that
win is, but it’s hard to measure,” Earnhardt said. “I did a
poor job of measuring when I won it the first time. I was
younger and I thought, ‘Man, this is a big deal.’ And before
I knew it, we were at another track trying to win another
race and forgetting about Daytona. I just missed it.”
Earnhardt’s slump-busting victory also was a big one for
NASCAR.
“That’s our Michael Jordan, our Tiger Woods,” Texas
Motor Speedway president Eddie Gossage said. “He realizes
he’s in his late 30s. He’s gotta do it now. I don’t mean to put
any more pressure him but, he doesn’t have to do it this
year, but he’s got to do it soon. The window isn’t very
large.”

13th minute, Riley Shanahan converted a
Carey Bradley assist into their fourth goal of
the game. Another minute later it was 5-0
when Davidson won a ball near midfield, car-
ried it to the top of the Pacific Collegiate
penalty box before unleashing a wicked,
bending shot that curled just inside the far
left post.
After that, Arrendondo all but called off the
attack.
“I told them they had [take the] ball wide
and connect 10 passes before going on the
attack,” Arrendondo said.
Even with that stipulation, the Gators still
had plenty of opportunities to literally dou-
ble the score. But some less-than-stellar fin-
ishing kept the score from being even worse.
And credit the Pumas defense and their off-
side trap for keeping the Gators at bay. SHP
was whistled 11 times for offsides in the first
half alone and 17 for the game.
“Pacific Collegiate did a good job stepping
up (its defensive line),” Arrendondo said.
The rest of the game was also an opportu-
nity for Arrendondo to use his reserves liber-
ally, as all 22 members of the SHP roster saw
game action — no small feat with a roster
that size.
“It’s a challenge,” Arrendondo said. “We
tried to get them in early on. We’ve had a cou-
ple games like that in league.”
The rules for attack were the same in the
second half — 10 passes and attack from the
flanks — and despite six more offside calls,
the Gators managed to find the back of the
net two more times. In the 57th minute,
Athens picked up her second assist of the
game, sending a perfect pass through the
Pumas defensive line. Cameron Gordon ran
past the defense, latched onto the ball and
buried her shot in the far right corner for a 6-
0 lead.
Then, just before the end, the Gators put
the icing on the cake off a corner kick. Blair
Hamilton, who spent the first half in goal for
SHP, swung a cross into the middle of the
box. Following a scramble, the ball found
the foot of senior co-captain Maddy Jones,
who poked it home for the final tally.
Up next is Burlingame, which finished sec-
ond in the Peninsula Athletic League’s Bay
Division. While Tuesday’s game did not do a
whole to prepare the Gators for the Panthers,
Arrendondo believes some good can come
from Tuesday’s rout.
“I think the confidence we showed in the
first 11 minutes is a good sign,” Arrendondo
said.

Bumgarner named
Giants opening day starter
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Left-hander
Madison Bumgarner has been selected the
San Francisco Giants’ opening day starter.
Manager Bruce Bochy made the announce-
ment Tuesday at spring
training that Bumgarner
would pitch March 31 at
Arizona. This marks
Bumgarner’s first open-
ing day start. He was the
only member of the San
Francisco rotation with a
winning record last sea-
son at 13-9 with a 2.77
ERA in 31 starts and 201
1-3 innings. He made his
first NLAll-Star team.
Righty Matt Cain went Game 1 last sea-
son, when the Giants wound up missing the
playoffs a year after winning their second
World Series title in three years.
Sharks reassign Kearns to AHL
SAN JOSE — The San Jose Sharks have
reassigned forward Bracken Kearns to
Worcester of the AHL.
The team made the move Tuesday to create
room for the expected return from the injured
list later this week of forwards Logan
Couture and Raffi Torres.
Kearns has three goals, one assist and six
penalty minutes in 22 games this season
with San Jose.
The Sharks open the post-Olympic break
stretch of their schedule on Thursday night
in Philadelphia.

Government: Cut out junk food ads in schools
By Mary Clare Jalonick and Darlene Superville
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — It’s not just about what America’s kids
are getting in the lunch line.
The Obama administration is moving to phase out junk
food advertising on football scoreboards and elsewhere on
school grounds — part of a broad effort to combat child obe-
sity and create what Michelle Obama calls “a new norm” for
today’s schoolchildren and future generations.
“This new approach to eating and activity is not just a
fad,” Mrs. Obama said Tuesday as she described the proposed
rules at the White House.
Promotion of sugary drinks and junk foods around cam-
puses during the school day would be phased out under the
Agriculture Department rules, which are intended to ensure
that marketing is brought in line with health standards that
already apply to food served by public schools.
That means a scoreboard at a high school football or bas-
ketball game eventually wouldn’t be allowed to advertise
Coca-Cola, for example, though it could advertise Diet
Coke or Dasani water, also owned by Coca-Cola Co. Same
with the front of a vending machine. Cups, posters and
menu boards that promote foods that don’t meet federal
standards would also be phased out.
Ninety-three percent of such marketing in schools is
related to beverages. And many soda companies already
have started to transition their sales and advertising in
schools from sugary sodas and sports drinks to other prod-
ucts they produce. Companies are spending $149 million a
year on marketing to kids in schools, according to the
Agriculture Department.
The announcement at the White House was part of a week
of events marking the fourth anniversary of the first lady’s
“Let’s Move” program. Mrs. Obama also traveled to Miami
Tuesday to announce that the Boys & Girls Clubs of America
and the National Recreation and Park Association will serve
more fruits and vegetables at after-school programs and
ensure kids get 30-60 minutes of physical activity a day.
NBC’s “Parks and Recreation” star Amy Poehler introduced
the first lady.
The proposed school marketing rules come on the heels
of federal regulations that now require food in school lunch
lines to be more healthful than in the past.
Separate rules, which are to go into effect in September,
will cover other food around school as well, including in
vending machines and “a la carte” lines in the lunch room.
Calorie, fat, sugar and sodium limits now will have to be
met on almost every food and beverage sold during the
school day, as mandated by a 2010 child nutrition law.
Even though diet sodas would be allowed in high schools
under the proposed rules announced Tuesday, the rules don’t
address the question raised by some as to whether those
drinks are actually healthful alternatives to sugary soda.
Some healthful-food rules have come under fire from con-
servatives who say the government shouldn’t dictate what
kids eat — and from some students who don’t like the new
alternatives.
Mrs. Obama defended herself against critics, saying that
“I didn’t create this issue.” She said kids will eventually get
used to the changes.
New rules, which are to go into effect in September, will cover food around school, including in vending machines and ‘a la
carte’lines in the lunch room.Calorie,fat,sugar and sodium limits now will have to be met on almost every food and beverage

FOOD/LOCAL
Paid Advertisment
“That’s our job as parents, to hold steady
through the whining,” she said.
Aware of the backlash, the Agriculture
Department is allowing schools to make
some of their own decisions on what consti-
tutes marketing and is asking for comments
on some options. For example, the proposal
asks for comments on initiatives like Pizza
Hut’s “Book It” program, which coordinates
with schools to reward kids with pizza for
reading.
Rules for other school fundraisers, like
bake sales and marketing for those events,
would be left up to schools or states.
Off-campus fundraisers, like an event at a
local fast-food outlet that benefits a school,
still would be permitted. But posters advertis-
ing the fast food may not be allowed in
school hallways. An email to parents — with
or without the advertising — would have to
suffice. The idea is to market to the parents,
not the kids.
The rules also make allowances for major
infrastructure costs — that scoreboard adver-
tising Coca-Cola, for example, wouldn’t
have to be immediately torn down. But the
school would have to get one with a different
message or product the next time it was
replaced.
Schools that don’t want to comply could
leave the National School Lunch Program,
which allows schools to collect government
reimbursements for free and low-cost lunches
for needy students in exchange for following
certain standards. Very few schools choose to
give up those government dollars, though.

RULES
may expand the 25-foot buffer zone around
main entrances of private businesses. It did,
however, refuse to regulate smoking on pri-
vate property, including apartment buildings
and will continue to allow restaurants to pro-
vide up to 50 percent of outdoor seating areas
designated as smoking.
Questions about personal liberties, prop-
erty lines and business models were dis-
cussed, but city officials maintained it’s ulti-
mately about health and safety concerns and
preventing the public’s exposure to second-
hand smoke.
“[Smoking] is not a personal liberty, this
is not a right, I don’t even think it’s a privi-
lege,” Councilman Herb Perez said. “I don’t
think anybody has a right or a privilege to
affect the health of somebody else.”
Members of the public, many who lived in
apartments, spoke in favor of banning
smoking in multi-family residences at the
study session. The vast majority of renters
prefer to live in smoke-free residences and
most apartments already have no-smoking
policies in place, said Rhovy Lyn Antonio,
spokeswoman for the California Apartment
Association.
“Eighty percent of renters actually prefer
moving into a community that has a smoke-
free policy … smoking provisions have
been driven by market demands,” Antonio
said. “Due to the fact that most multi-family
building communities are voluntarily
smoke-free, we ask the council to evaluate
the necessity of [including it in] a smoking
ordinance.”
The council ultimately decided not to regu-
late private property and suggested people
form homeowners associations instead.
“We control the public spaces, so to me,
no smoking in public. If the public owns it,
no smoking,” said Mayor Charles
Bronitsky. “All we ask is you act responsi-
bly. I think some level of prohibition is
appropriate because of health concerns but,
for me, [regulating] some level of personal
property is overreaching.”
Although the interior of peoples’ homes
may be off-limits, the sidewalks directly in
front of their homes aren’t. The council
instructed staff to move forward with the ban
but councilmembers Art Kiesel and Gary
Pollard were unsure about approving an ordi-
nance prohibiting people from smoking
directly in front of their property.
The council agreed electronic cigarettes
and hookah will be identified as tobacco
products. But Perez was concerned a new ordi-
nance would be a detriment to Waterfront
Pizza, a Mediterranean restaurant that serves
hookah within 50 percent of its outdoor
patio area.
Patrons of Waterfront spoke at the meeting
to express support of the restaurant and point
out people can choose not to frequent the
establishment.
The public and city officials agreed second-
hand smoke is harmful and those who wish to
refrain from exposure should be afforded pro-
tection. Sam Hindi, a Foster City resident
and business owner, believes Waterfront
offers those who wish to smoke a venue to do
so.
“It’s providing a space and time for those
who want to smoke to be away from those
who don’t want to smoke,” Hindi said.
Blanche Aram, a resident who doesn’t
smoke, said people can choose whether to go
to Waterfront.
“Indoors, I understand it where people are
living in residences that don’t want to be
exposed; and in parks, I understand that. But
when it comes to a business, I think it gets a
little tricky,” Aram said. “If I don’t like it, I
simply go somewhere else, just like if there’s
a restaurant that serves food I don’t like, I
don’t force them to change their menu.”
As a city nestled against the Bay with
lagoons and waterways, the council should
consider regulations that will help deter the
litter associated with smoking, said Alison
Chan, spokeswoman for the environmental
activist group Save The Bay.
“This is an environmental issue as well as
a public health one. What many people don’t
realize is cigarettes are toxic plastic litter,”
Chan said.
The council instructed staff to research how
it could pragmatically enforce the ordinance;
whether it will be a civil matter handled by
the City Manager’s Office or a criminal one
police would have to oversee will be dis-
cussed at a later date.
After city staff readies a draft of the new
ordinance, it will return to the council for a
hearing and public comment, Assistant City
Manager Steve Toler said.

NEWYORK — Egg McMuffin, meet
the Waffle Taco.
Taco Bell is readying for the launch
of its national breakfast menu on
March 27, with items such as the A.M.
Crunchwrap designed to appeal to its
fan base of younger men. And the
chain says breakfast will be available
until 11 a.m. — a half-hour later than
McDonald’s offers its Egg McMuffins.
“We can turn the breakfast conversa-
tion into a two-horse race,” Taco Bell
President Brian Niccol said in an inter-
view, noting that Taco Bell intends to
be a “strong No. 2” after McDonald’s .
McDonald’s has long been the fast-
food leader in the mornings, with its
popular Sausage Biscuits, Hotcakes
and other items pulling in roughly 20
percent of the company’s U.S. sales.
But the chain has been facing stiffer
competition over the years, with
places such as Starbucks and Subway
looking for a piece of the growing
breakfast business.
On March 4, for instance, Starbucks
also plans to roll out new and
revamped breakfast sandwiches,
including a croissant sandwich with
ham, cheese and egg.
It’s not clear how Taco Bell’s entry
into breakfast will alter the fast-food
landscape. Last year, an executive with
Taco Bell’s parent company Yum
Brands said that breakfast accounted
for about 4 percent of sales in loca-
tions where it was tested. But that was
before the chain put its full marketing
might behind the menu, he noted.
McDonald’s, which has more than
14,000 U.S. locations, has also said it
plans to step up its marketing of break-
fast this year as new players enter the
space. Separately, the president of
McDonald’s USA, Jeff Stratton, also told
the Associated Press that the chain is in
the early stages of looking at whether it
can extend its breakfast hours.
Stratton noted that cutting off break-
fast on the weekends at 10:30 a.m.
“doesn’t go very well” with people in
their 20s and 30s in particular. Still,
figuring out how to serve both break-
fast and lunch poses an operational
challenge given the limited kitchen
space in restaurants.
In the meantime, Kevin Newell, U.S.
brand and strategy officer for
McDonald’s, seemed unfazed in an
interview late last week by Taco Bell’s
breakfast plans.
“I think they’re going to find that
going into the breakfast business is
not like what they’re accustomed to, in
terms of marketing,” Newell said. The
breakfast menus of the two chains
only have one main offering that
seems to go head-to-head, a sausage
and egg burrito.

McDonald’s eyes
extending its
breakfast hours
By Candice Choi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAK BROOK, Ill. — McDonald’s is in the early stages of
looking at whether it can make breakfast available later in
the day.
Fans of the Egg McMuffin and Sausage Biscuit have long
wanted the option to get breakfast at McDonald’s after
10:30 a.m. But offering both the breakfast and lunch menu
was considered logistically impossible, given the tight
kitchen spaces of the restaurants.
Still, it’s an option the chain is eyeing more seriously at
a time when people’s eating habits are changing — particu-
larly those coveted customers in their 20s and 30s known as
Millennials.
“We know, as an example, that breakfast on the weekend
cut off at 10:30 doesn’t go very well,” Jeff Stratton, head of
McDonald’s USA, said in an interview.
Stratton declined to provide any details on how
McDonald’s would adjust kitchen operations to make break-
fast later in the day.
“Well, we’re just beginning. ... We’re just taking a look at
it,” he said.
Arepresentative for McDonald’s, Lisa McComb, said after
the interview that there are no tests currently in place for the
extended breakfast hours.
McDonald’s has long entertained the idea of serving
breakfast throughout the day. But the chain has been inch-
ing closer to making the idea a reality as it faces heightened
competition and slumping sales. Last year, for example, the
company began offering an “After Midnight” menu at select
locations.

Jonathan Karesh, Steven Dylina and
Elizabeth Hill have no opposition.
On the other hand, two people are
hoping to fill the position vacated by
the U.S. Senate confirmation Tuesday
of Judge Beth Labson Freeman to a
federal judgeship. Defense attorney
Jeffrey Hayden is joined in the race by
Commissioner Susan L. Greenberg .
Deputy County Counsel Kathryn E.
Meola pulled papers but is withdraw-
ing them because of a work promo-
tion.
In a separate race, former commis-
sioner and current prosecutor
Stephanie Garratt is running along
with defense attorney and Daly City
Mayor Ray Buenaventura and
Christiana State.
For Greenberg, a move to the bench
would expand the work she’s done as a
commissioner for 14 years by offer-
ing other assignments like juvenile
court and the chance to be a presiding
judge. Greenberg, 54, previously
worked in the District Attorney’s
Office and said she’d love to do more
criminal work as a judge.
However, her diverse experience
over the last 30 years is what
Greenberg hopes voters consider
when choosing their next judge.
“I don’t need to be trained,” she
said.
Greenberg’s law degree is from
Hastings College of the University of
California.
Challenging Greenberg is Hayden
who received his legal training at the
University of Southern California and
specializes in criminal law. Hayden
also points to his experience which
includes being a public defender,
working in private practice and clerk-
ing in the district court.
“I have a very different background
than anyone else in the race,” Hayden
said.
Hayden, 55, said serving as a judge
is a way to give back to the communi-
ty beyond his current advocacy for
individual clients.
In California, judges serve six-year
terms and are elected in nonpartisan
races. Vacancies between elections are
filled by gubernatorial appointments.
Judge positions are not part of the
county government and candidates are
not limited to what office they seek by
where they live and need not even
reside in San Mateo County. Each
bench hopeful must select which
office he or she is seeking which, in
this race, are the two open — one by
Freeman’s ascension and the other by
the retirement of Judge Craig Parsons.
Hayden opted for Freeman’s seat on
the assumption she would be con-
firmed.
“It’s really hard to walk away from
an open seat,” he said.
While Hayden said he would not run
against Freeman if she remained in the
race, not having any other candidates
ready would have left her seat empty
after the election and left to a guberna-
torial appointment.
Buenaventura, 49, said a judge is the
“ultimate public servant” and that
joining the bench is the “ideal mar-
riage” of legal work and public serv-
ice. Buenaventura is currently a Daly
City councilman along with a crimi-
nal defense attorney and said Parsons’
retirement provided a good opportuni-
ty because he needn’t challenge an
incumbent. If elected, Buenaventura
said he will bring the right character,
disposition and fairness — along with
a good sense of humor.
“I see what works in the courtroom
and what doesn’t. I want to make sure
there is access to justice and make the
courtroom a place where people feel
comfortable,” Buenaventura said.
Buenaventura has a law degree from
Whittier College.
Buenaventura is joined in the cam-
paign with Garratt and State. Neither
could be reached for comment. State is
a temporary judge in small claims for
Santa Clara County Superior Court
and the director of intellectual proper-
ty for a private unnamed company,
according to her online resume.
Garratt previously worked as a pri-
vate defender in San Mateo County
and served as a Superior Court com-
missioner for nearly nine years before
returning last July to the District
Attorney’s Office.
Both Garratt and State have law
degrees from Santa Clara University.
Competitive elections for judges in
San Mateo County are not that com-
mon. Judge Don Franchi was in the
last contested race in 2008, beating
out civil attorney Jerry Nastari who
had the endorsement of every sitting
judge at the time. Many judges first
join the bench through appointment,
like Hill, who was named by Gov.
Jerry Brown in January.
Continued from page 1
RACES
Freeman stepped down from the
Superior Court effective immediately
following the vote and hopes to be
installed in her new position quickly
once the president makes the appoint-
ment official.
The seat has sat vacant for two years
since U.S. District Judge Jeremy Fogel
moved from San Jose to direct the
Federal Judicial Center in Washington,
D.C. The seats were empty so long the
Judicial Conference of United States
declared them “judicial emergencies.”
U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who rec-
ommended both Freeman and Donato for
the lifetime appointments, said in a pre-
pared statement after the confirmation
vote that both bring “strong qualifica-
tions” and “extremely important experi-
ence” to the Northern District.
Harvard Law School graduate
Freeman, 60, said she was “very
pleased” to be approved, particularly
the unanimous support of the judicial
committee. The appointment closes “a
big, significant chapter” in her life, she
said, while opening up new opportuni-
ties. No one particular case stands out as
a favorite for Freeman but said, looking
back, what she’ll always appreciate is
being part of the solution for individu-
als who frankly don’t want to be in
court.
“Court is my life but it’s not my liti-
gants’ life,” Freeman said.
Freeman has a bachelor’s of arts from
the University of California at Berkeley
and earned her law degree in 1979. After
four years in private practice, she joined
the San Mateo County Counsel’s Office
in 1988 where she stayed until 2001
when former governor Gray Davis
appointed her to San Mateo County
Superior Court.
She served as presiding judge in 2011
to 2012 as the court continued absorb-
ing statewide cuts through challenging
local cuts of resources and services.
Freeman proved herself not only an
excellent judge but also an exceptional
leader for the court, said Court Executive
Officer John Fitton.
“Judge Freeman has exceptional
skills as a judge and also a unique abili-
ty to understand complex administrative
areas that go beyond the judicial
branch,” Fitton said.
Freeman served statewide in 2011 on
the Trial Court Budget Working Group
and on a 2013 judicial committee devel-
oping court funding.
Presiding Judge Robert Foiles also
praised Freeman’s “keen intellect” and
quick ability to discern issues — both
skills he saw firsthand as her assistant
presiding judge as they tackled the budg-
et and other administrative tasks.
On a personal level, Foiles describes
her as witty, funny and fun to work with.
Both Fitton and Foiles said Freeman’s
abilities will serve her well in her new
role.
Had things turned out different, the
role Freeman might be serving instead
is that of politician. Freeman, who
moved to the Bay Area at age 14 after a
childhood in Washington, D.C., and
Virginia, actually delayed going to col-
lege so that she could run for state
Assembly at age 18. She lost the elec-
tion to the Republican incumbent but
not her desire for politics.
Freeman had expected law to be a step-
ping stone into public office but said
she “veered away pretty quickly” from
that goal and ended up enjoy-
ing legal work on its own.
She thinks sometimes of
what might have been but
never with regret.
Her early legal career
included time with a
Washington, D.C., law firm
before she and her husband
returned to the Bay Area. She
worked for a San Francisco
firm before joining the
County Counsel’s Office.
Together with the time as a
Superior Court judge,
Freeman said she’s spent
more than 30 years in the
county courthouse. And now,
in her new position, a slight
shift further south.
Freeman said her husband
and two grown children are
pretty excited by the appoint-
ment and “pretty proud of
mom.” Neither followed in
their parents’ legal footsteps,
though.
“I guess they decided the
family had enough lawyers,”
she joked.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Be businesslike in
your dealings. Someone may be overly interested in
your personal life. Keep them guessing about your
private matters, and be careful not to reveal too much.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Preparation and
organization will be key today. Someone may not be
forthright regarding a touchy situation. If you wait
until the last minute, you risk becoming overwhelmed
by the issues at hand.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Make plans to have
fun with friends, or arrange an outing with your lover.
Deal with your responsibilities in advance so that no
one will find fault with your actions.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Your clever ideas and
innovative solutions will lead to a moneymaking
venture. Determine exactly what you want to achieve
and then work hard in service of your goals.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) — It’s a good day to
review paperwork and financial records. Make
changes to improve your savings and investments.
Reward yourself by spending a romantic evening
with someone you love.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You are in a romantic
mood today. Don’t get carried away and offer
untrue or frivolous declarations of your feelings.
Your relationship will only be strengthened by your
honesty and devotion.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — It’s time for a little
pampering. You may decide to lift your spirits by
getting together with your special someone, or
perhaps even treating yourself to a new look or outfit.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — It is not necessary to
seek approval from others for all of your plans. You can
gain a new perspective and improve your outlook by
exploring new locations or experiences for yourself.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Trying to please others
will only cause you frustration. Although people may
have your best interests at heart, focusing on your
own goals will keep you on the sure path to success.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — With
determination and self-discipline, one of your many
hobbies could prove profitable. A close look at your
various interests may reveal the opportunity for
financial gain that you have been seeking.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Following your
intuition will lead to inspiration. However, persistence,
determination and dedication will be the necessary
ingredients for positive results. Avoid negativity and
doubt — they will only interfere with your dreams.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Changes are on the
horizon. Make the effort to expand your knowledge
and insights by joining a club, class or other activity
that is interesting to you. New circumstances will also
provide new friendships.

SEVASTOPOL, Ukraine —
Dozens of pro-Russian protesters
rallied Tuesday in the Crimean
Peninsula against “the bandits” in
Kiev who are trying to form a new
government, with some even
speaking of secession, and a
Russian lawmaker stoked their
passions by promising that
Moscow will protect them.
“Russia, save us!” some chant-
ed.
An armored personnel carrier
and two trucks full of Russian
troops made a rare appearance on
the streets of the port city where
the Kremlin’s Black Sea Fleet is
based. A Russian flag fluttered in
front of the city council building,
replacing the Ukrainian flag that
demonstrators had torn down a day
earlier.
The protesters pleaded with
Moscow to protect them from the
new authorities who forced
President Viktor Yanukovych to
flee the capital and go into hiding.
“Bandits have come to power, ”
said Vyacheslav Tokarev, a 39-
year-old construction worker. “I’m
ready to take arms to fight the fas-
cists who have seized power in
Kiev. ”
Yanukovych was reportedly last
seen in the Crimea, a staunchly
pro-Russian region the size of
Massachusetts. Law enforcement
agencies have issued an arrest war-
rant for him over the killing of 82
people, mainly protesters, last
week in the bloodiest violence in
Ukraine’s post-Soviet history.
His former chief of staff, Andriy
Klyuyev, was wounded by gunfire
Monday and hospitalized,
spokesman Artem Petrenko told
the Associated Press. It wasn’t
clear where in Ukraine the shoot-
ing took place.
The protesters gathered for a
third day in front of administrative
buildings in Sevastopol and in
other Crimean cities in the pro-
Moscow region in the southern
Ukraine. Protests on Sunday num-
bered in the thousands.

WASHINGTON — Two days
before he fled Ukraine’s capital,
President Viktor Yanukovych hud-
dled on the phone for more than
an hour with Vice President Joe
Biden, his primary conduit with
the U.S. government throughout
the political crisis consuming the
former Soviet republic.
The window for a resolution to
the crisis was closing quickly —
and may already have closed,
Biden warned Yanukovych,
according to a senior administra-
tion official familiar with the con-
versation.
Yanukovych was initially defi-
ant, the official said, and accused
the protesters in the streets of
Kiev of being terrorists. Though
Yanukovych became less resistant
to Biden’s appeals as the call con-
tinued, the vice president hung up
the phone uncertain of the embat-
tled leader’s next move.
What followed was a rapid series
of developments that left
Yanukovych’s fate — and the
broader political situation in
Ukraine — highly uncertain. On
Friday, Yanukovych agreed to
form a new government and hold
an early election. Ukraine’s par-
liament slashed the president’s
powers and voted to free his rival,
former Prime Minister Yulia
Tymos he nko,
from prison.
And on
S a t u r d a y ,
Ya n u k o v y c h
fled Kiev,
reportedly hol-
ing up in
Crimea, a pro-
Russian area of
Ukraine.
The tenuous political agreement
was orchestrated by European
diplomats, with the U.S. and
Russia playing supporting roles.
Biden, who had built a working
relationship with Yanukovych
since becoming vice president,
was at the forefront of the deli-
cate diplomatic maneuvering for
the Obama administration. He
spoke to Yanukovych on the
phone nine times during the
three-month political crisis, an
unusual level of contact that
underscored the heightened U.S.
concern about stability in
Ukraine, a strategically located
nation that shares a border with
Russia.
The vice president also met
throughout the crisis with
Ukrainian religious leaders and
Ukrainian-American groups,
according to the administration
official, who was not authorized to
discuss the vice president’s
involvement by name and insist-
ed on anonymity.

WASHINGTON — In a blunt
warning to Afghan President
Hamid Karzai, President Barack
Obama threatened on Tuesday to
withdraw all U.S. troops from
Afghanistan by the end of this
year if a crucial security pact isn’t
signed — and he ordered the
Pentagon to accelerate planning
for just that scenario.
At the same time, in a rare phone
call with Karzai, Obama indicated
he was willing to wait his mercuri-
al counterpart out and sign a secu-
rity agreement with a new Afghan
president after April elections.
That would allow the U.S. to keep
as many as 10,000 troops in the
country.
The effort seemed aimed at mar-
ginalizing Karzai’s role in the
high-stakes negotiations over the
future of the lengthy American-led
war.
