DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
The 2013 Mavericks Invitational
surf competition in Half Moon Bay
was watched around the world
Sunday as 24 of the best big wave
surfers came together on a gorgeous
sunny day to ride giants.
To the delight of the crowd and
the competitors, Santa Cruz local
Peter Mel, 43, took home the title.
After surng in three 45-minute
heats and suffering a collision with
fellow rider and friend Dave
Wassel, Mel reigned victorious. Mel
credits much of his success to his
father, a surfboard shaper, who,
allowed me to be who I am today,
as far as a surfer goes, Mel said.
Mels father and son, both named
John, were also competing Sunday
in their own Southern California
surf competitions.
Mel brought home the title of the
international Big Wave World Tour
last year, and was overdue in taking
home the Mavericks Invitational
award in his home stomping
grounds.
Sundays waves averaged 20 to 25
feet, not as big as in past years, but
the offshore winds and sunny skies
allowed for a comfortable outdoor
festival. The lack of larger waves,
compared to 2010s Mavericks that
boasted 50- to 60-foot waves,
werent a deterrent to Mel who
strives to add performance and style
to his surng.
Its great that you can ride the
biggest wave, drop in get to the
channel, but I want to see some
style. So I try to do that in my surf-
ing, thats what I did in the nals,
Mel said.
Taking home the title requires
precision, bravery and a willingness
to take risks. Mel ended up not
pulling through one of the larger
waves, but most contestants fell off
their boards and into the whitewater

Lou Mak was all smiles Thursday
afternoon as he met a host of
strangers.
While those who approached him
and shook his hand, some with T-
shirts or beanies with a company
logo, Mak smiled and kept saying
Thank You. He really meant it. He
was thankful for these people. As a
group, they had recently helped
change his life by helping get Mak a

Todays Highlight in History:
On Jan. 21, 1793, during the French Revolution, King Louis
XVI, condemned for treason, was executed on the guillotine.
On this date:
In 1648, Margaret Brent went before the Maryland colonial
assembly to seek two votes in that body, one for herself as a
landowner, the other as the legal representative of the absent
Lord Baltimore; the assembly turned her down.
In 1861, Jefferson Davis of Mississippi and four other
Southerners whose states had seceded from the Union resigned
from the U.S. Senate.
In 1910, the Great Paris Flood began as the rain-swollen Seine
River burst its banks, sending water into the French capital.
In 1924, Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin died at age 53.
In 1937, Count Basie and his band recorded One OClock
Jump for Decca Records (on this date in 1942, they re-record-
ed the song for Okeh Records).
In 1954, the rst atomic submarine, the USS Nautilus, was
launched at Groton (GRAH-tuhn), Conn. (However, the
Nautilus did not make its rst nuclear-powered run until near-
ly a year later).
In 1958, Charles Starkweather, 19, killed three relatives of his
14-year-old girlfriend, Caril Ann Fugate, at her familys home
in Lincoln, Neb. (Starkweather and Fugate went on a road trip
which resulted in seven more slayings.)
In 1977, President Jimmy Carter pardoned almost all Vietnam
War draft evaders.
In 1982, convict-turned-author Jack Henry Abbott was found
guilty in New York of rst-degree manslaughter in the stabbing
death of waiter Richard Adan in 1981. (Abbott was later sen-
tenced to 15 years to life in prison; he committed suicide in
2002.)
In 1998, Pope John Paul II began a historic pilgrimage to Cuba.

Obama girls rock out with
military kids at concert
WASHINGTON Usher sang
Yeah! Katy Perry donned star and
stripes for Firework. And a ballroom full
of lucky kids got to rock out with Sasha
and Malia Obama at Saturdays Kids
Inaugural Concert, a star-studded event
that honors Americas military families.
Now, inauguration is a pretty big
deal, rst lady Michelle Obama, who
hosted the event along with Jill Biden,
told the assembled families at the
Washington Convention Center. But I
have to tell you that my very favorite part
of this entire weekend is being right here
with all of you. She paid tribute to the
sacrices that military families make,
including their kids.
Pointing out that such kids often attend
six to nine schools by the end of high
school, always having to be the new
kid, she said being a military kid meant
growing up just a little faster, and work-
ing just a little harder than other kids.
The concert was streamed live to several
military bases around the country.
This was the second such concert for
the Obama girls, and the choice of talent
seemed to reect the fact that they are
four years older. While in 2009 they
were entertained by Miley Cyrus and the
Jonas Brothers, this time it was Usher
and Perry, along with the groups
Mindless Behavior and Far East
Movement. Also performing were cast
members from the Fox TV hit Glee.
Usher, in black leather, kicked off the
proceedings with his hit Yeah!, fol-
lowed by Without You and OMG,
earning a huge cheer from the crowd. In
between acts, there were kid-friendly
diversions like a dance-off, or a race
among mascots of the Washington
Nationals: oversized versions of presi-
dents like George Washington, Abraham
Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt.
Three members of the Glee cast
were greeted warmly by the crowd:
Naya Rivera, who plays Santana; Darren
Criss, who plays Blaine; and Amber
Riley, who plays Mercedes.
Nick Cannon emceed the evening, but
it was Mrs. Obama, sporting her new
bangs and wearing a white peplum shirt
over black pants, who got to introduce
the top attraction.
It is now my pleasure to introduce the
fabulous Katy Perry! she said, and the
singer emerged in what looked like a
vintage swimsuit, covered patriotically
with stars and stripes.

I
t took a hearty soul and a determined
person to travel to this section of the
coast. A few did brave the fog, wind and
isolation, however, and found a paradise quite
unlike any other place.
The railroad presented a potential real
estate boom that zzed out as rapidly as it
began when the trains were outcompeted by
newer contraptions the automobile. The
land was very fertile and needed only labor to
make crops grow. That appealed to many
immigrants leaving Europe who hoped to
score it big in this land of opportunity.
However, without a viable method of getting
the food to market, it was tough making a liv-
ing with so few people around. The Ocean
Shore R.R. was the perfect answer for 20
years because it brought people from crowded
San Francisco who were looking for enter-
tainment and fun for their weekends and vaca-
tions. A perfect solution for the community
people who only visited, had a good time and
spent their money.
Domenico Bortolotti was a perfect t for
what was to become the Moss Beach commu-
nity. A few people had already started making
their mark on the area. People like Jurgren F.
Wienke and wife Meta who, in 1882, built the
Moss Beach Hotel. He was called the
mayor and he well deserved it as one of the
most active men in the community. Charlie
Nye built The Reef on the beach (Fitzgeralds
Marine Reserve). The ocean destroyed it so he
moved to the cliff nearby and built The Reef
II. His abalone chowder dinners became
famous and attracted the likes of Jack London
and horticulturist Luther Burbank.
Many Italians were attracted to the wide
open spaces of the coast. Living a life in Italy
in the early 1900s meant living a life without
the potential of owning any land. Moss
Beach, Princeton, El Granada and Miramar
didnt offer huge estates to acquire, the real
estate boom/bust made that impossible but the
area offered much more than what they left
behind in Europe.
Domenico Bortolotti settled in Moss Beach
in 1927 after suffering setbacks in Northern
California. He had been married in 1915 and
had begun a family he needed to support. He
was able to acquire a two-story building on
the corner of Etheldore and Virginia streets (a
block from the highway). The second oor
had a dozen rooms and two bathrooms, per-
fect for a growing family and some borders.
The rst oor was just right for a business he
had in mind a restaurant. From what he
saw of the area, he felt a restaurant was a per-
fect business for taking care of the gastro-
nomical needs of the hundreds of weekend
visitors. Next, he needed land to grow vegeta-
bles to put on the table and in the soups and
salads he knew everyone liked.
Life was good to Domenico and wife
Domenica. Dan, as he became called, start-
ed Dans Restaurant in 1927. Who could go
wrong by opening an Italian restaurant in an
Italian community? Pasta, lasagna, spaghetti,
garlic, bread and sausages everyone loves
Italian food. He also ran a general store in one
section of the building and, being a shrewd
businessman, began buying up all available
land on the block. In time, he acquired all but
one lot on the block. On some of the lots, the
family raised vegetables used to feed the
masses that visited Dans. In the late 30s,
Dan expanded out and opened the Dans
Motel along the highway. After living a full
life, Dan died in 1948.

Journal.

Latin rock
for a cause
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Creating an annual rock benet concert wasnt at the fore-
front of Bernardo Gonzalezs mind nine years ago.
Gonzalez, who had a history of working with Latin rock
bands, was contacted to help produce a book release event for
a Latin rock band. Around the same time, his son was diag-
nosed with autism. The idea to have the show benet the cause
didnt take long for people to support. The rst Voices of Latin
Rock Autism Awareness Benefit for The Alex Speaks
Foundation was a big hit. Now, the show is gearing up for its
ninth anniversary with two shows Bimbos in San
Francisco Thursday, Jan. 24 and Fox Theatre in Redwood City
Friday, Jan. 25.
You never know who will show up, Gonzalez said of the
shows.
Theyve had Carlos Santana and Sly Stone stop by in previ-
ous years despite not being on the lineup. This year, the head-
lining act will be Tierra, who are celebrating their 40th anniver-
sary with hit songs such as Together, Gonna Find Her,
Barrio Suite and Margarita. The Jan. 24 show also features
Generation Esmeralda, well known for their versions of Dont
Let Me Be Misunderstood and House of the Rising Sun,
along with the Border rock sounds of Puro Bandido, and the
Filipino inuenced Dakila. Redwood Citys show will show-
case Richard Bean and Sapo, celebrating 40 years of
Sauvecito, with Ruckatans fusion of Latin, reggae and world
music as well as the Border rock sounds of Puro Bandido.

Man injured in morning shooting
Police in East Palo Alto are investigating a
shooting that took place early Sunday morning.
Ofcers responded to a report of shots red
in the 500 block of Bell Street at about 2:30
a.m., according to police.
Arriving police found evidence of a shooting
and were informed that a 20-year-old Vallejo
man suffering multiple gunshot wounds to the
legs was being taken to a hospital.
The victim was contacted at the hospital and
was reported to be in stable condition, police
said. No one was arrested and no suspects
have been identied, police said.
Anyone with information about the case is
asked to contact East Palo Alto police at (650)
409-6792.
SamTrans buying 25 hybrid
buses made by Hayward rm
The San Mateo County Transit District is
adding 25 new hybrid buses manufactured by
a Hayward company to its eet by the end of
the year, ofcials said.
The districts board of directors approved a
$32.2 million contract for the purchase of 62
new buses at a meeting earlier this month, 25
of which will be diesel-electric hybrid buses,
spokeswoman Christine Dunn said Friday.
The 40-foot long hybrid buses will replace
buses that date to 1998, and are expected to
save around $3 million in fuel costs over the
next 12 years, Dunn said.
The hybrid buses will be manufactured by
Gillig of Hayward, meaning the purchase will
support Bay Area jobs, Dunn said. They pro-
duce 90 percent fewer nitrogen oxide emis-
sions than the buses they replace.
The hybrid bus purchase is being nanced
with a $4.9 million American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act grant. In order to keep costs
lower, SamTrans has also formed a buying
consortium with other agencies for the pur-
chase, Dunn said. In addition to fuel efcien-
cy, the new buses also offer improved wheel-
chair access and smart energy-efcient LED
lighting that automatically adjusts to ambient
light.
Woman allegedly smuggles speed
into country hidden in furniture
A North Carolina woman was caught at San
Francisco International Airport allegedly trying
to smuggle nearly 11 pounds of methampheta-
mine into the country inside a piece of wood
furniture, federal prosecutors said Friday.
Naomi Antunez, 21, was indicted Thursday
by a federal grand jury on a charge of posses-
sion with the intent to distribute 500 grams or
more of methamphetamine, according to a
statement from the U.S. Attorneys Ofce.
Antunez was stopped at SFO on Dec. 13,
2012 as she entered the country on a commer-
cial ight from Mexico. U.S. Customs and
Border Patrol ofcials discovered the drugs in
a piece of wooden furniture in her luggage.
Following her indictment on Thursday,
Antunez appeared in federal court and entered a
plea of not guilty. She is next scheduled to appear
in court on March 6. If convicted, Antunez faces
a potential sentence of 10 years to life in prison
and a $10 million ne, prosecutors said.
Two arrested on robbery charges
Two men were arrested on robbery charges
Friday after a man reported being held up at
gunpoint at an acquaintances home in
Pacica, according to police.
The victim contacted police on Wednesday
around 1 p.m. to report that he had been
robbed while visiting an acquaintances home
in the Pacic Manor area that day, according
to Capt. Joe Spanheimer. While there, the two
men were joined by two other men, at which
point the acquaintance allegedly pulled out a
semiautomatic handgun and demanded the
victims money and belongings.
Police obtained a search warrant for a suspects
home and property, and, because a dangerous
weapon was involved, called in the SWAT team
for assistance in serving the warrant.
A search of the property located two sus-
pects who were positively identied as being
involved in the robbery, as well as a handgun
similar to the one described as being used in
the robbery, Spanheimer said.
Jared Lee Laplante, 27, and Trevor Ryan
Jodsaas, 26, were both arrested on suspicion
of robbery and conspiracy.
Local briefs

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES A famous judge sits in
a cold, shuttered courtroom pushing papers
while the California Supreme Court chief jus-
tice fumes over the state of court funding.
I hear people on television all the time say-
ing, Well have our day in court, said Chief
Justice Tani Cantil-
Sakauye. And I nudge my
husband and say, Dont
they know there arent any
courts anymore?
The statement is an
exaggeration, but it
emphasizes frustration by
those in the court system
over budget cuts that have
closed courtrooms around
the state, halted new con-
struction and taken a toll on the administration
of justice.
Gov. Jerry Browns proposed budget, focus-
ing heavily on education with scant mention
of courts, provided disappointment to judges
as it proposed taking $200 million from court
construction funds to postpone additional
court cuts after hundreds of millions of dollars
were previously slashed.
Ten courthouses from Beverly Hills to
Pomona are set to close in Los Angeles
County alone and seven will close in Fresno
County. Some people with legal problems in
San Bernardino and Humboldt Counties may
have to drive hours to nd a courtroom. Once
they get there they will probably wait in long
lines.
This has been a slow motion train wreck
since 2008, said Judge Lance Ito, the judge
who oversaw the murder trial of O.J. Simpson
and now shuttles between courts after his
courtroom was closed in the latest budget cut-
backs.
He can be found either lling in for a sick
judge or reviewing petitions from life-term
prisoners in a courtroom stripped of chairs in
the jury box and witness stand. His robe is in
the closet until hes called to help in another
court.
I have no staff, no bailiff, no court reporter
and I have to persuade friendly clerks to enter
minute orders, Ito said. Theres no heat in
here and the furniture has been cannibalized.
Sen. Noreen Evans, chair of the Senate
Judiciary Committee, wants the governor to
give back more than $150 million that was
deducted from the judicial budget in 2010-
1011.
The buildings which house justice are still
crumbling and we have no further resources to
rebalance the scales of justice, said Evans, D-
Santa Rosa.
On Thursday, the Judicial Council voted to
indefinitely delay court construction in
Sacramento, Nevada, Los Angeles and Fresno
counties while funds are spent to replace a
Long Beach courthouse damaged by an earth-
quake.
Finance Department spokesman H.D. Palmer
defended the proposed budget which needs
to be approved by the Legislature saying
courts must be weighed against other needs,

zens. Browns top priority is education and hes
restraining other areas of spending.
Compared to other parts of the state budg-
et, the state has found a way to keep these
court budgets operating at a stable level, said
Palmer.

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama was sworn in for
four more years Sunday in a simple
ceremony at the White House,
embarking on a second-term quest
to restore a still-shaky economy and
combat terrorists overseas while
swearing an age-old oath to pre-
serve, protect and defend the
Constitution.
I did it, a smiling president said
to his daughter Sasha seconds after
following Chief Justice John
Roberts in reciting the oath of
ofce. First lady Michelle Obama
and the couples other daughter,
Malia, were among relatives who
bore witness.
The quiet moments were prelude
to Mondays public inaugural
events when Obama and Vice
President Joe Biden will be sworn
in on the steps of the U.S. Capitol
before a crowd expected to reach
into the hundreds of thousands and
a television audience counted in the
millions.
The trappings were in place
the ag-draped stands ready outside
the Capitol and the tables set inside
for a traditional lunch with lawmak-
ers. Across town, a specially made
reviewing stand rested outside the
White House gates for the president
and guests to watch the traditional
parade down Pennsylvania Avenue.
A crowd of perhaps 800,000 was
forecast, less than the million-plus
that thronged to the nations capital
four years ago to witness the inau-
guration of the rst black president
in American history.
The weather forecast was encour-
aging, to a point. High temperatures
were predicted for the lower 40s
during the day, with scattered snow
showers during the evening, when
two inaugural balls closed out the
ofcial proceedings.
The 44th chief executive is only
the 17th to win re-election, and his
second-term goals are ambitious for
a country where sharp political dif-
ferences have produced gridlocked
government in recent years.
Restoration of the economy to
full strength and pressing the world-
wide campaign against terrorists sit
atop the agenda.
He also wants to reduce federal
decits and win immigration and
gun control legislation from
Congress, where Republicans con-
trol the House.
If he needed a reminder of the
challenges he faces, he got one from
half-way around the globe. An
Algerian security ofcial disclosed
the discovery of 25 additional bod-
ies at a gas plant where radical
Islamists last week took dozens of
foreign workers hostage.
In Washington, tourists strolled
leisurely on an unseasonably warm
day.

ALGIERS, Algeria The death
toll from the terrorist siege at a nat-
ural gas plant in the Sahara climbed
past 80 on Sunday as Algerian
forces searching the renery for
explosives found dozens more bod-
ies, many so badly disgured it was
unclear whether they were hostages
or militants, a security ofcial said.
Algerian special forces stormed
the plant on Saturday to end the
four-day siege, moving in to thwart
what government ofcials said was
a plot by the Islamic extremists to
blow up the complex and kill all
their captives with mines sown
throughout the site.
In a statement, the Masked
Brigade, the group that claimed to
have masterminded the takeover,
warned of more such attacks against
any country backing Frances mili-
tary intervention in neighboring
Mali, where the French are trying to
stop an advance by Islamic extrem-
ists.
We stress to our Muslim brothers
the necessity to stay away from all
the Western companies and com-
plexes for their own safety, and
especially the French ones, the
statement said.
Algeria said after Saturdays
assault by government forces that at
least 32 extremists and 23 hostages
were killed. On Sunday, Algerian
bomb squads sent in to blow up or
defuse the explosives found 25
more bodies, said the security of-
cial, who spoke on condition of
anonymity because of the sensitivi-
ty of the situation.
These bodies are difficult to
identify. They could be the bodies
of foreign hostages or Algerians or
terrorists, the ofcial said.
In addition, a wounded Romanian
who had been evacuated died, rais-
ing the overall death toll to at least
81.
Now, of course, people will ask
questions about the Algerian
response to these events, but I
would just say that the responsibili-
ty for these deaths lies squarely with
the terrorists who launched a
vicious and cowardly attack,
British Prime Minister David
Cameron said. Three Britons were
killed and another three were feared
dead.
The dead hostages were also
known to include at least one
American as well as Filipino and
French workers. Nearly two dozen
foreigners by some estimates were
unaccounted for.
It was unclear whether anyone
was rescued in the nal assault on
the complex, which is run by the
Algerian state oil company along
with BP and Norways Statoil.
Two private Algerian TV stations
and an online news site said security
forces scouring the plant found ve
militants hiding out and learned that
three others had ed. That informa-
tion could not be immediately con-
rmed by security ofcials.
Authorities said the bloody
takeover was carried out
Wednesday by 32 men from six
countries, under the command from
afar of the one-eyed Algerian bandit
Moktar Belmoktar, founder of the
Masked Brigade, based in Mali. The
attacking force called itself Those
Who Sign in Blood.
The Masked Brigade said Sunday
the attack was payback against
Algeria for allowing over-ights of
French aircraft headed to Mali and
for closing its long border with Mali.
Death toll climbs in siege in the Sahara

WASHINGTON Brig. Gen.
Jeffrey Sinclair, red from his command
in Afghanistan last May and now facing
a court-martial on charges of sodomy,
adultery and pornography and more, is
just one in a long line of commanders
whose careers were ended because of
possible sexual misconduct.
Sex has proved to be the downfall of
presidents, members of Congress and
other notables. Its also among the chief
reasons that senior military ofcers are
red.
At least 30 percent of military com-
manders red over the past eight years
lost their jobs because of sexually relat-
ed offenses, including harassment, adul-
tery, and improper relationships, accord-
ing to statistics com-
piled by the
Associated Press.
The figures bear
out growing con-
cerns by Defense
Department and mili-
tary leaders over
declining ethical val-
ues among U.S.
forces, and they
highlight the pervasiveness of a problem
that came into sharp relief because of the
resignation of one of the Armys most
esteemed generals, David Petraeus, and
the investigation of a second general,
John Allen, the top U.S. commander in
Afghanistan.
The statistics from all four military
services show that adulterous affairs are
more than a four-star foible. From sexu-
al assault and harassment to pornogra-
phy, drugs and drinking, ethical lapses
are an escalating problem for the mili-
tarys leaders.
With all those offenses taken together,
more than 4 in every 10 commanders at
the rank of lieutenant colonel or above
who were red fell as a result of behav-
ioral stumbles since 2005.
The recent series of highly publicized
cases led to a review of ethics training
across the military. It also prompted
Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to conclude that
while training is adequate, it may need to
start earlier in service members careers
and be reinforced more frequently.
Still, ofcials struggle to explain why
the problem has grown and they
acknowledge that solving it is difcult
and will take time.

Merkels coalition loses
state vote in Germany
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BERLIN Germanys center-left opposition won a wafer-
thin victory over Chancellor Angela Merkels coalition in a
major state election Sunday, dealing a setback as she seeks a
third term at the helm of Europes biggest economy later this
year.
The opposition Social Democrats and Greens won a single-
seat majority in the state legislature in Lower Saxony, ousting
the coalition of Merkels conservative Christian Democratic
Union and the pro-market Free Democrats that has run the
northwestern region for 10 years. The same parties form the
national government.
The 58-year-old Merkel will seek another four-year term in
a national parliamentary election expected in September. She
and her party are riding high in national polls, but the opposi-
tion hoped the Lower Saxony vote would show she is vulner-
able.
The outcome could boost what so far has been a sputtering
campaign by Merkels Social Democratic challenger, Peer
Steinbrueck.

Obamas coin
Editor,
Mike Caggianos letter, Obamas
coin, in the Jan. 16 edition of the
Daily Journal, made me smile until I
noticed that the reality of it all could
have turned real and that, indeed the
Obama administration would have
conned the taxpayers if this trick had
not been exposed as early as it did. We
now know of course that they are raid-
ing another piggy bank to keep the
government spending going. Deceit and
complete disregard of honesty and
integrity? May I present to you the
Obama administration. The mind bog-
gles.

N
ew lending rules announced by
the Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau will require
potential borrowers to document nan-
cial information, which lenders must
verify.
Whoa, what a concept. Talk about the
feds cracking down on industry abuses.
Wait there is more. To qualify for a
mortgage, consumers must have enough
income and assets to repay the loan, and
lenders must determine that includes
both principal and interest over the long
term, not a discounted introductory peri-
od.
These remedial rules and others issued
by the new federal bureau are sobering
reminders of how far standards eroded
for major national lenders. Their multi-
billion-dollar settlements with federal
agencies and related lawsuits were mak-
ing headlines as the rules were unveiled.
Millions of Americans suffering
through the worst nancial downturn
since the Great Depression learned they
were set up to fail by lenders who saw
the opportunity to make money regard-
less.
Big banks and Wall Street made
money bundling loans and selling them
as securities. A volume business needed
mortgage fodder. Besides, dicey loans
would yield property that could be
resold, plus all the late fees and charges.
Borrowers discovered the depth of the
hustle in the foreclosure process.
Already whacked by plunging housing
prices, reset interest rates, and layoffs,
unemployment and pay cuts, they got hit
with sham foreclosure proceedings.
Banks favored foreclosure over modify-
ing loans for struggling borrowers.
Banks had scant records, no process
for reviewing individual mortgages or
formal signing procedures and verica-
tion of signatures. The infamous robo-
signing mortgage factories were all
about moving product.
Recovery from subprime behavior is
grounded in basic mortgage rules.
Meanwhile, lenders are paying scant
penalties they are likely to deduct as
business expenses.
New federal mortgage regulations
By Mark Leno
I
t is with great enthusiasm that I
begin my second and nal term in
the California Senate representing
the newly-created Senate District 11.
Californias recent redistricting process
shifted the geographical boundaries of
electoral districts. SD 11 now includes
all of San Francisco County and parts of
northern San Mateo County
(Broadmoor, Colma, Daly City and por-
tions of South San Francisco).
It is hard to believe this year marks
my 11th year in the California
Legislature. I was rst elected to the
Assembly in 2002, representing the east-
ern portion of San Francisco. In 2008, I
was elected to the Senate, representing
all of Marin County and parts of
Sonoma and San Francisco counties.
Before that, I served for four and a half
years on the San Francisco Board of
Supervisors.
During the past decade, I have worked
hard to represent the needs of my con-
stituents while tackling issues that are
also of concern to all Californians. I
have fought for better schools and access
to higher education, improved services
for foster youth, public utility safety, the
rights of struggling homeowners, a
cleaner and sustainable environment,
criminal justice reform, tenant protec-
tions, single-payer universal health care,
improved transporta-
tion, renewable ener-
gy, safer communi-
ties and equal rights
for all. As chair of
the Senate Budget
and Fiscal Review
Committee, I am
eager to continue
advocating for serv-
ices and programs that benet families,
children, consumers, disabled
Californians and seniors.
With the start of the new legislative
session in 2013, I feel a sense of
renewed optimism and promise for our
state. California has long been belea-
guered by budget cuts to social pro-
grams and education, posing a serious
threat to our students futures and the
states long-term economic vitality. The
passage of Proposition 30 this past
November represents the rst stemming
of that tide in many years.
Even with Proposition 30s passage,
we still have a long way to go in restor-
ing the harm years of cuts have done to
our state. That is why I introduced
Senate Constitutional Amendment 3
(SCA 3) on the rst day of session in
December. SCA 3 would give communi-
ties greater opportunity to invest in edu-
cation by lowering the threshold for
passing local parcel taxes that fund our
schools.
As the year progresses, we will have
many more announcements that may
interest you. Whether you are a current
or new constituent, I encourage you to

www.senate.ca.gov/leno, so you can

Finally, my staff is always happy to

and assist you with government forms.
We want to help ensure your govern-
ment works for you, so please do not
hesitate to contact our ofce. We are
excited to be working with all the resi-
dents of SD 11 and look forward to
meeting and seeing you out in the neigh-
borhood.

An architect on
the City Council
T
here are advantages and disadvantages to being an
architect on a city council. According to Jack
Matthews, who is in his ninth year as a member of
the San Mateo City Council and before that served on the
Planning Commission, an architect brings training and
insights about urban design. The architect understands plan-
ning principles, what makes for good public spaces and is a
valuable asset for his colleagues. Matthews profession
includes training on earthquake-safe buildings, which also
helps while serving as the citys representative on the coun-
tys emergency response board. He can also use his urban
design experience as a member of the regional Grand
Boulevard initiative which hopes to turn El Camino Real
from San Jose to San
Francisco (through Daly
City) into a grand boulevard.
He also chairs the HEART
board and has been an advo-
cate for affordable housing
in the county.
Then there is the down-
side, the potential for con-
ict of interest in work his
rm does in the city and
when he must recuse himself
from voting. The recent 7-
Eleven brouhaha is the rst
time the well respected
Matthews has ever had his
integrity questioned and it has been a painful experience.
The Fair Employment Practices Commission regulations say
that an architect can do business in the city in which he
serves but he or she may not interact with staff on such busi-
ness before the city. Matthews often checks with the city
attorney on when he needs to recuse himself or the attor-
neys ofce will contact him. In the case of 7-Eleven,
Matthews rm was contacted by the developer to nd out
zoning regulations and to do some sketches. Another mem-
ber of his rm called the city to check on the zoning for the
site (this has been the source of controversy whether a
market was a legal or illegal use in the residential neighbor-
hood). Matthews was accused by neighbors and even ques-
tioned by fellow Councilman David Lim over whether he
had inappropriately used his inuence on behalf of the rms
client. Matthews denied under oath before the Planning
Commission that he had contacted city staff on the issue.
Last Monday night, when the council declared the 7-Eleven
use illegal, Matthews was at home watching the proceedings
on television.
There have been instances when Matthews has had to
choose between recusing himself or losing a client. Recently,
he was asked by 10 downtown property owners to do a feasi-
bility study for each of their properties. The city attorney
advised that future zoning for downtown was under consid-
eration and if Matthews took the job he could not participate
in the discussion.
People didnt elect me to recuse myself on something as
important as downtowns future, he said.
So Matthews turned down the job. He is not able to partic-
ipate in discussions about the future of the former Kinkos
site between Fourth and Fifth avenues east of the railroad
tracks because it is too close to his downtown ofce.
***
What was the most difcult land use decision Matthews
ever made? While on the Planning Commission, he voted
against the downtown movie theater because he thought it
was too big for the space. Its a decision he said he regrets
every day because the cinema has been a huge success and a
big boost to downtown. He would like to see the plaza in
front spruced up and be a better public space. He would like
to see more public plazas downtown and an attractive con-
nector from Fifth Avenue to Central Park. Matthews has left
his architectural mark downtown in rehabilitating/designing
buildings now used by Bay Watch, AcquaPazza and Vault.
He built the modern SMART Center (San Mateo Adult
Resources Technology Center) at San Mateo High School
and transformed the former Skylonda resort into a retreat
with forest tree houses.
***
Matthews, a San Francisco native, moved to San Mateo in
1974. He and his wife Patricia and two children found their
rst home in Shoreview then, as their family expanded to
four children, they moved to Parkside and in 1988 to their
present house in the Hillsdale/Beresford neighborhood.
Matthews received his architecture degree from Cal Poly. He
is in his last term as a councilman. When he was rst elect-
ed, he was the youngest. Now at 66, he is the oldest. He has
much to be proud of in his service as a planning commis-
sioner and councilmember. The 7- Eleven controversy has
been an unfortunate downside, but it no way diminishes the
many ways in which Matthews has shared his invaluable
expertise to make San Mateo a better place in which to live
and work.

Monday Jan. 21, 2013 THEDAILYJOURNAL
By Daniel Wagner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
With fourth-quarter earnings sea-
sons hitting its stride, investors are
returning to the familiar comfort of
cold, hard numbers the press
releases, conference calls and
spreadsheets that provide a real
view of corporate Americas per-
formance.
Trading has been dominated for
months by speculation about news
events: Washingtons perpetual state
of gridlock, the impact of
Superstorm Sandy, the international
economic slowdown. Earnings give
professional market-watchers some-
thing tangible to analyze.
A lot of people like to trade
around earnings because there are a
lot of short-term opportunities
there, says Randy Frederick, man-
aging director of active trading and
derivatives at Charles Schwab.
Were just starting to get into earn-
ings in a big way this week, so there
are plenty of ways to do that.
This week will bring answers to
questions that have hung over the
market for months: Will slower
growth in China put a dent in big
U.S. companies income? Will new
housing numbers come in strong
enough to keep homebuilders ying
high? How much did Superstorm
Sandy cost big insurers?
Heres a guide to some of the big
stories that professional investors
will be watching as the earnings
news arrives:
THE CHINA QUESTION:
Big U.S. companies are increasing-
ly reliant on sales to China, and
growth there appears to be slowing.
This round of earnings will shed
light on how hard the slowdown is
hitting American companies.
The messages so far are mixed.
When Alcoa announced its results
on Jan. 8, executives said they
expect sales to grow by 7 to 10 per-
cent in 2013, thanks to the wealth-
ier middle class and the general
uptick in the Chinese economy.
Announcing its fiscal second
quarter results last month, however,
Nike said China was the only region
where revenue declined. Executives
said they expect lower income from
China in the coming quarters as
they work to build a strategy around
Chinese consumers.
Youve got to look at what these
companies are seeing in Asian mar-
kets, says John Butters, senior
earnings analyst at FactSet, a
research and data firm. There
seems to be an expectation of
improvement in China as we
progress through 2013, he said.
Traders will learn more from earn-
ings announcements by companies
like McDonalds (on Wednesday)
and 3M (on Thursday).
In 2011, 3M generated 41 percent
of its operating income in the Asia
Pacic region, compared with 26
percent in the U.S. McDonalds
generated 22 percent of its revenue
in the region that includes Asia,
compared with 32 percent in the
U.S.
HOUSING RALLY: HOW
LONG? The government said
Thursday that U.S. builders started
work on homes in December at the
fastest pace in 4 1/2 years, and that
last year was the best year for resi-
dential construction since the early
stages of the housing crisis.
It was the latest announcement to
lift homebuilder stocks, which have
been on a tear as evidence mounts
that the housing market has nally
regained some momentum.
Homebuilders in the Standard &
Poors 500 index have shot up 23
percent since their recent low on
Nov. 14. Already this month, seven
homebuilders have hit 52-week
highs on heavy trading volume.
Yet some have been reluctant to
trust the turnaround in the housing
market. In an earnings call with ana-
lysts last week, Citigroup Chief
Financial Officer John Gerspach
said his bank wont start to release
billions in reserves held against
mortgage losses until its clear that
the trend is sustainable.
This week brings more data on
sales of new and existing homes in
December. If the numbers look
weak, analysts say, homebuilder
stocks may appear overbid and the
rally may pause until earnings
results arrive from big players like
D.R. Horton Inc. (Jan. 29) and
PulteGroup Inc. (Jan. 31).
HOW SUPER, STORM
SANDY? Superstorm Sandy had
broad, negative economic effects,
like keeping holiday shoppers home
and wiping out disposable income.
But its most direct impact was on
insurers. Risk modeling rm AIR
Worldwide says storm-related loss-
es covered by insurers could total
$16 billion to $22 billion.
This quarters earnings will give
traders their rst look at how hard
Sandy hit the major property and
casualty insurance companies.
Analysts have been reducing their
expectations for the nancial indus-
trys performance mainly because
of insurers, Butters said.
Reporting on Friday, auto insurer
Progressive Corp. said Sandy cost it
about $15 million in December,
contributing to a decline in net
income of 3 percent from the same
quarter a year earlier.
The Travelers Cos. Inc., one of
the 30 stocks in the Dow Jones
industrial average, reports its results
on Tuesday. ACE Ltd. reports on
Jan. 29.
TECH TROUBLE: Tech com-
panies have been vocal about the
challenges they face. Of the 32 tech
companies that gave earlier guid-
ance about their fourth-quarter per-
formance, more than 90 percent
were negative, Butters says. The
usual number is closer to 50 per-
cent, he said.
One troubling sign Thursday was
Intel Corp.s announcement that
weak demand for personal comput-
ers caused its fourth-quarter net
income to fall 27 percent and its rev-
enue to decline 3 percent. Intel also
predicted a low single-digit percent-
age increase in revenue this year.
What to watch for as earnings roll in
ByJennifer Peltz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Sniffling, grog-
gy and afraid she had caught the
flu, Diana Zavala dragged herself
in to work anyway for a day she
felt she couldnt afford to miss.
A school speech therapist who
works as an independent contrac-
tor, she doesnt have paid sick
days. So the mother of two report-
ed to work and hoped for the best
and was aching, shivering and
coughing by the end of the day. She
stayed home the next day, then
loaded up on medicine and
returned to work.
Its a balancing act between
physical health and financial well-
being, she said.
An unusually early and vigorous
flu season is drawing attention to a
cause that has scored victories but
also hit roadblocks in recent years:
mandatory paid sick leave for a
third of civilian workers more
than 40 million people who
dont have it.

particularly watching New York
City, where lawmakers are weigh-
ing a sick leave proposal amid a
competitive mayoral race.
Pointing to a flu outbreak that
the governor has called a public
health emergency, dozens of doc-
tors, nurses, lawmakers and
activists some in surgical masks
rallied Friday on the City Hall
steps to call for passage of the
measure, which has awaited a City
Council vote for nearly three years.
Two likely mayoral contenders
have also pressed the point.
The flu spike is making people
more aware of the argument for
sick pay, said Ellen Bravo, execu-
tive director of Family Values at
Work, which promotes paid sick
time initiatives around the country.
Theres people who say, OK, I
get it you dont want your serv-
er coughing on your food, she
said.
Advocates have cast paid sick
time as both a workforce issue akin
to parental leave and living wage
laws, and a public health priority.
But to some business owners,
paid sick leave is an impractical
and unfair burden for small opera-
tions. Critics also say the timing is
bad, given the choppy economy
and the hardships inflicted by
Superstorm Sandy.
Michael Sinensky, an owner of
seven bars and restaurants around
the city, was against the sick time
proposal before Sandy. And after
the storm shut down four of his
restaurants for days or weeks, cost-
ing hundreds of thousands of dol-
lars that his insurers have yet to
pay, were in survival mode.

quarter of the NFL NFC Championship football game in Atlanta Sunday.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA The clutch quarter-
back. The genius coach. The big-
play defense.
The San Francisco 49ers are
ready to start a new dynasty with a
familiar formula.
Next stop, the Big Easy.
Colin Kaepernick and Frank Gore
led San Francisco to a record come-
back in the NFC championship
game Sunday, overcoming an early
17-0 deficit to beat the Atlanta
Falcons 28-24 and send the 49ers to
their rst Super Bowl since 1995.
Gore scored a pair of touch-
downs, including the winner with
8:23 remaining for San Franciscos
rst lead of the day, and the 49ers
defense made it stand up. A fourth-
down stop at the 10-yard line denied
Atlanta another stirring comeback
after blowing a big lead.
Everybody does a little, 49ers
coach Jim Harbaugh said, and it
adds up to be a lot.
San Francisco (13-4-1) moves on
to face either New England or
Baltimore at New Orleans in two
weeks, looking to join Pittsburgh as
the only franchises with six Super
Bowl titles. It could be a brother-
vs.-brother matchup, too, since John
Harbaugh coaches the Ravens.
Joe Montana led the 49ers to four
Super Bowl wins and Steve Young
took them to No. 5. Its up to
Kaepernick and Co. to get No. 6.
He just competes like a maniac
all the time, said Harbaugh, whose
much-debated decision to bench
Alex Smith at midseason now looks
like the best move of the year.
Harbaugh was hoppin mad when
a disputed call went against the
49ers on Atlantas potential winning
drive. He leaped in the air, screamed
at the officials and had to be
restrained by his staff from charging
the eld.
No complaints when it was over.
We rose up there at the end,
Harbaugh said.
His second-year quarterback,
who runs like a track star, didnt get
a chance to show off his touchdown
celebration exing his right arm
and kissing his bicep, a move that
quickly became a social media sen-

sation known as Kaepernicking.
But he shredded the Falcons through the air
by completing 16 of 21 for 233 yards, includ-
ing a 4-yard touchdown to Vernon Davis, and
had them so worried about his running ability
out of the spread option that Gore and
LaMichael James had plenty of room.
Gore scored a pair of touchdowns, including
the game winner with 8:23 remaining for San
Franciscos rst lead of the day. Davis scored
the rst TD for the 49ers on a 15-yard run.
I take my hat off to Atlanta. They played
hard. Theyve got a great team, Gore said.
But we fought, man. We fought and we
deserved it.
The 49ers pulled off the biggest comeback
victory in an NFC championship game,
according to STATS. The previous NFC record
was 13 points Atlantas victory over
Minnesota in the 1999 title game, which sent
the Falcons to what remains the only Super
Bowl in franchise history.
The AFC championship game record is 18
points, when Indianapolis rallied past New
England in 2007.
Harbaugh is hardly cool and collected like
the 49ers rst Super Bowl-winning coach, Bill
Walsh, but has pulled off a similar turnaround
in San Francisco. The 49ers had eight straight
years without a winning record before their
new coach arrived from Stanford in 2011.
He immediately led San Francisco to the
cusp of the Super Bowl, losing to the eventual
champion New York Giants in overtime in last
years NFC title game, a bitter defeat at home
set up by a fumbled return.
This time, the 49ers were the ones winning
on the road to set up another celebration in the
city by the bay, which is rapidly becoming the
new Titletown USA. Theyll try to follow the
lead of the baseball Giants, who won the World
Series in October.
Weve come full circle, said Denise
DeBartolo York, part of the family that has
owned the 49ers since their championship
days, and the dynasty will prevail.
Kaepernick guided San Francisco on a pair
of second-half scoring drives that wiped out
Atlantas 24-14 lead at the break. Gore scored
on a 5-yard run early in the third quarter, then
sprinted in from 9 yards out for the winning
score with 8:23 remaining after each team
made crucial mistakes to ruin potential scoring
drives.
On both of Gores TDs, the Falcons had to
worry about Kaepernick running it in himself.
They barely even touched the running back on
either play, and James scored pretty much the
same way.
I kind of gured that coming in and they
showed that on lm, so I assumed Frank and
LaMichael were going to have a big day,
Kaepernick said. Frank ran hard today, and I
cant say enough about him.
The top-seeded Falcons (14-4), in what
appeared to be the nal game for Hall of
Famer-to-be Tony Gonzalez, tried to pull off
another season-extending drive. But, unlike the
week before against Seattle, they needed a
touchdown this time.
They came up 10 yards short.
On fourth down, Matt Ryan attempted a pass
over the middle to Roddy White that would
have been enough to keep the drive going. But
linebacker NaVorro Bowman stuck a hand in to
knock it away with 1:13 remaining.
The 49ers ran off all but the nal 6 seconds,
not nearly enough time for Ryan to pull off his
greatest comeback yet.
In the divisional playoffs, the Falcons blew a
20-point lead in the fourth quarter, the
Seahawks scoring the go-ahead touchdown
with 31 seconds remaining. But Ryan complet-
ed two long passes, setting up Matt Bryants
49-yard eld goal for 30-28 victory.
The Falcons came up short of their second
Super Bowl, leaving the 1995 Braves as the
citys only major sports champions. This one
gures to hurt for a while.
We didnt make the plays when we had the
opportunity, Falcons coach Mike Smith said.
There were ve or six plays, like in most
hard-fought games, that make a difference.
There were ebbs and ows and changes in
momentum, and they made more plays than we
did.
Kaepernick, who ran for 181 yards against
the Packers the week before to set an NFL
playoff record for a quarterback, didnt have
much chance to use his legs against the
Falcons. He broke off a 23-yard gain, but was
thrown for a 2-yard loss the only other time he
carried the ball.
But Kaepernick showed hes more than a
runner. His favorite receiver was Davis, who
hauled in ve passes for 106 yards.
Gore carried 21 times for 90 yards, while
James added 34 yards on ve carries.
Ryan nished 30 of 42 for 396 yards, by far
the best performance of his playoff career. But
his postseason record dropped to 1-4, done in
by two big miscues an interception and a
fumble in the second half.
Julio Jones was Ryans leading target most
of the day, nishing with 11 catches for 182
yards and a pair of touchdowns. He hauled in a
46-yarder less than 4 minutes into the game,
then made a dazzling grab in the left corner of
the end zone for a 20-yard score. He got his left
foot down, then planted his right foot about an
inch inside the line while cornerback Tarell
Brown was all over him.
Ryan threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to
Gonzalez with 25 seconds remaining in the
rst half after the 49ers had cut the decit to
17-14. It seemed the home team had reclaimed
the momentum heading to the locker room,
but, amazingly, that would be its nal score of
the day. The 49ers quickly seized control on
the opening possession of the second half,
driving 82 yards in just seven plays for Gores
rst TD.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Joe
Flacco outdueled Tom Brady,
throwing three touchdown passes
in the second half and leading the
Baltimore Ravens to their first
Super Bowl in 12 years with a 28-
13 victory over the New England
Patriots on Sunday for the AFC
championship.
The win sets up the first Super
Bowl coached by brothers,
Baltimores John Harbaugh and
San Franciscos Jim. The 49ers
won the NFC title earlier Sunday
28-24 at Atlanta.
The 49ers have been listed as 5-
point favorites.
Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis
final season will conclude in two
weeks in New Orleans; he was the
MVP of the 2001 game, the
Ravens only Super Bowl win.
Flacco had two touchdown pass-
es to Anquan Boldin and one to
Dennis Pitta as the Ravens
outscored the Patriots 21-0 in the
second half. Baltimores defense
made Brady look ordinary and
stymied the leagues top offense.
Brady was 67-0 at home when
leading at halftime.
Flaccos three touchdown passes
came in just over 10 minutes in the
second half. He connected with
Bolden for two TDs in the first four
minutes of the fourth quarter a
3-yarder and an 11-yarder after
hitting Pitta with a 5-yard strike
with 6:14 left in the third.
The Ravens (13-6) gained just
130 yards in the first half before
Flacco guided them on scoring
drives of 87 and 63 yards.
New England (13-5) suffered
three injuries in the first half.
Cornerback Aqib Talib hurt his
thigh and defensive tackle Kyle
Love injured his knee. The return
of both starters was questionable.
Backup safety Patrick Chung was
helped off the field after one play.
The Patriots played without tight
end Rob Gronkowski, who broke
his left arm a week earlier in their
41-28 divisional win over the
Houston Texans.
Stephen Gostkowski had given
the Patriots a 3-0 lead with a 31-
yard field goal with 6:21 left in the
first quarter. But the Ravens went
ahead on Ray Rices 2-yard touch-
down run with 9:28 to go in the
second.
Wes Welker then scored with just
over 4 minutes remaining in the
half on a 1-yard pass from Brady
and the Patriots increased their lead
on Gostkowskis 25-yard field goal
on the final play before intermis-
sion.
New England outgained
Baltimore 214 yards to 130 in the
half. Brady completed 14 of 24
passes for 139 yards, while Flacco
went 6 for 12 for 81 yards. Neither
team committed a turnover.
The scoring pass to Bolden
ended a drive on which Flacco
completed five of six passes, the
longest a 23-yarder to Torrey
Smith.
The touchdown by Pitta capped
the Ravens best drive of the game,
covering 87 yards in 10 plays. It
started with a 15-yard defensive
pass interference penalty. Then,
Flacco completed six of his other
nine passes on the series. Three of
them went for first downs 22
yards to Pitta, 15 to Rice and 12 to
Bolden that gave the Ravens a first-
and-goal at the Patriots 10-yard
line.
Flacco then connected with Pitta
for a 5-yard pass and finished the
drive with another 5-yarder to
Pitta, who easily beat single cover-
age by safety Steve Gregory.
The Patriots began the scoring on
Gostkowskis kick, ending a 13-
play, 67-yard drive during which
Brady completed five of seven
passes for 55 yards.
Rices touchdown ended a 13-
play, 90-yard drive that lasted 5:51.
Flacco threw completions for first
downs of 17 yards to Pitta, 11
yards to Rice, 8 yards to Bernard
Pierce and 25 yards to Smith. With
a first down at the Patriots 15-yard
line, Rice ran for 8 and 5 yards,
giving the Ravens a first down at
the 2.
After Flacco threw an incomple-
tion out of bounds, Rice took a
handoff, ran to the left and scored
easily.
Welkers touchdown came 4:18
before intermission and capped an
11-play, 79-yard drive. He scored
on a pass to the right as corner-
backs Corey Graham and Chykie
Brown appeared to get crossed up
on their assignments.
On the first play of the series,
Baltimores Dannell Ellerbe was
penalized 15 yards for a blow to
the head. Then a 24-yard comple-
tion from Brady to Welker gave the
Patriots a first down at the Ravens
16-yard line.
Both teams punted on their first
possession before the Patriots
began their scoring drive at their
21-yard line after a 50-yard punt by
Sam Koch.
The Patriots began the series
with Bradys 8-yard completion to
Brandon Lloyd. The pair teamed
up for three completions, gaining
37 yards, on the drive.
The Ravens punted on their first
three possessions in the first quar-
ter. The Patriots punted on three of
their four series, forcing Baltimore
to start deep in its territory.

CALGARY, Alberta Patrick
Marleau scored a pair of goals
Sunday to lead the San Jose Sharks
to a 4-1 win over the Calgary
Flames in the season-opener for
both teams.
Martin Havlat and defenseman
Dan Boyle also scored for the
Sharks during a three-goal second
period.
Joe Thornton and Joe Pavelski
each had a pair of assists.
Lee Stempniak scored for
Calgary, which led 1-0 after the
opening period.
With the victory, the Sharks
spoiled the debut of new Flames
coach Bob Hartley.
As other NHL teams have done at
home openers to soothe hurt fan
feelings after the lockout, the
Flames discounted food, drink and
merchandise Sunday. The stores at
the Saddledome were doing a brisk
business 90 minutes prior to the
game.
San Jose goaltender Antti Niemi
made 31 saves for the win. Miikka
Kiprusoff, playing his 600th career
game, stopped 25 of 29 shots for
Calgary.
Boyle scored on a two-man
advantage with a minute remaining
in the game.
Marleau scored his teams rst
and third goals in the second period.
San Jose took advantage of
Calgarys defense around Kiprusoff
to score its three second-period
goals from close range.
Marleau took a pass from Boyle
and paused to make Kiprusoff
stretch before making it 3-1 at
18:10. Kiprusoff lost control of a
save off his chest and Havlat banged
the loose puck in at 15:05.
Marleau tied the game at 13:52
with a power-play goal. Stempniak
scored a power-play goal at 12:21 of
the rst period for Calgarys rst
goal of the season.
The Flames were without offsea-
son acquisitions Jiri Hudler and
Roman Cervenka on Sunday.
Hudler attended his fathers funeral
in the Czech Republic on Friday.
Cervenka, another Czech for-
ward, has yet to be cleared to play
because of anti-coagulant medica-
tion he took following the discovery
of blood clots.
Sharks defenseman Brent Burns
was out of the Sharks lineup with a
lower-body injury. Forward Scott
Gomez, recently bought out of his
contract by the Montreal Canadiens,
skated with the Sharks during their
optional pre-game skate Sunday.

MELBOURNE, Australia
After twice failing to win her break-
through major as the No. 1-ranked
woman at the Australian Open,
Caroline Wozniacki is now expect-
ed to drop out of the top 10 after a
fourth-round loss to a resurgent
Svetlana Kuznetsova on Monday.
Wozniacki had the top ranking for
the 2011 and 2012 editions of the
seasons first major, but lost in
seminals two years ago and the
quarternals last year. Her 6-2, 2-6,
7-5 defeat to two-time Grand Slam
winner Kuznetsova in the Round of
16 this time follows back-to-back
rst-round exits at Wimbledon and
the U.S. Open.
Kuznetsova is moving in the other
direction, after entering the tourna-
ment at No. 75. Shes on a come-
back from a right knee injury that
ruled her out of the last U.S. Open,
ending a run of contesting 40 con-
secutive majors.
The 27-year-old Russian moved
into a quarternal and will next face
either No. 1-ranked Victoria
Azarenka or Elena Vesnina.
Play on Day 7 ran into Day 8
overnight, when Novak Djokovic
needed just over 5 hours to beat
Stanislas Wawrinka 1-6, 7-5, 6-4, 6-
7 (5), 12-10 in a fourth-round match
Sunday night, on the same court
where he needed 5:53 to beat Rafael
Nadal in last years nal.
I just had ashback of 2012,
said Djokovic, who ripped off his
shirt to celebrate again, like he did
last year. It was maybe 45 minutes
less this match than the one 12
months ago, but still it was still as
exciting. I tried to enjoy the moment
and couldnt ask for more. What a
match point ... unbelievable.
The win was Djokovics 18th in a
row at Melbourne Park after win-
ning the last two Australian titles,
and earned him a place in the quar-
terfinals of a 15th consecutive
major.
Wawrinka said he would take
more positives than negatives out of
the match. He led 5-2 in the second
set after outplaying Djokovic in the
rst.
For sure, I think the best match I
have ever played, Wawrinka said.
I fought like a dog like always. At
4-4 in the nal set, I thought I might
have won the match, but he was just
better.
Djokovic will next play No. 5
Tomas Berdych, who beat South
Africas Kevin Anderson 6-3, 6-2,
7-6 (13).
Fourth-seeded David Ferrer
advanced 6-2, 6-1, 6-4 over No. 16
Kei Nishikori of Japan to set up a
quarternal against fellow Spaniard
Nicolas Almagro.
Roger Federer plays Milos
Raonic later Monday, and U.S.
Open champion Andy Murray faces
Gilles Simon.
Serena Williams, aiming for a
third consecutive major title, will
play her fourth-round match against
No. 14 Maria Kirilenko of Russia.
They will have a tough time
matching the spectacle of Sundays
late-night encounter, which also
overshadowed Maria Sharapovas
accomplishment.
The reigning French Open cham-
pion advanced to the quarternals
with a 6-1, 6-0 win over Kirsten
Flipkens, and has lost just five
games through four rounds. Thats
three fewer than the previous low
mark at the Australian Open, held
by Stef Graf and Monica Seles.
She next plays fellow Russian
Ekaterina Makarova, who beat fth-
seeded Angelique Kerber 7-5, 6-4.

L
AS VEGAS If the
Baltimore Ravens are to
become Super Bowl cham-
pions, theyll have to beat the odds
again to do it.
Bookmakers in this gambling city
mostly have the San Francisco
49ers 4.5-point favorites over the
Ravens in the Super Bowl, amid
expectations this could be the heav-
iest bet title game ever.
Its a monster matchup, brother
versus brother, William Hill odds-
maker Jimmy Vaccaro said. I
believe it will top last years Super
Bowl handle and could go higher.
Some sports books didnt even
wait until the clock ran out in the
Ravens win over the New England
Patriots to set the line. At the LVH
sports book, a line favoring the
49ers by 4.5 points was put up just
before the 2-minute warning, and
bettors didnt waste any time to get
money down
on the game.
Weve got
money coming
in as we speak,
it looks like it
will be good
on both sides,
said LVH
book director
Jay Kornegay.
These teams
mirror each
other, but the
49ers are a bit
more sexy now than the Ravens.
At William Hill, which operates
75 betting parlors in Nevada, odds-
makers opened the game with the
49ers a 5-point favorite, as did some
other books. But it was quickly bet
down to 4.5 points, a line that
seemed to be holding in the early
betting.
We had what I consider a large
bet come in at 5 points and moved
down from there, said Vaccaro,
who said he believes the line will
hold between 4 and 4 1/2 points
until close to the day of the game.
Baltimore already is the first
underdog of more than a touchdown
to win both the division and cham-
pionship playoff rounds. The
Ravens were 7.5-point underdogs to
the Patriots before beating them 28-
13 to win the AFC title game.
The Ravens are the hot team
now but theyre not getting a lot of
support from the public, Kornegay
said. These are very similar teams,
both can run the ball well, play
smash mouth football and have two
quarterbacks playing very good
football.
Last years game between the
New York Giants and the Patriots
drew $93.9 million in wagers in
Nevada, just under the record $94.5
million bet in 2006 when the
Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Seattle
Seahawks 21-10. Those who follow
the betting industry closely say hun-
dreds of millions of dollars pos-
sibly even billions will be bet on
the game by the time the offshore
sports books and illegal bookmak-
ers take in their share.
Like the LVH, some books in Las
Vegas opened the game at 4.5
points, while others put their num-
ber up at 5. Most of the major Las
Vegas sports books were at 4.5
points, with a few listing the 49ers
at 4 points Sunday night.
The over/under, where bettors can
wager on whether the two teams
will combine for more or less points
than the posted number, was at 49
points at most books.
Point spreads uctuate on games,
especially the most heavily bet
ones, according to how much odds-
makers take on each team. A big bet
on one team can sometimes send a
line moving a half point one way or
another, though most movement
normally takes place in the days just
before the game.
Nevada oddsmakers also post
hundreds of proposition bets on
the game, everything from who
will win the coin flip to which
quarterback will have more pass-
ing yards. Those bets arent
expected to be posted fully until
later in the week.
Vaccaro said the proximity of the
49ers to Nevada should boost bet-
ting on the game.
Casinos have lost once only once
on the Super Bowl the last 10 years,
in 2008 when bettors gambled $92
million and casinos lost $2.57 mil-
lion as the Giants beat New
England, 17-14.

John Cook caught David Frost
on the final hole of regulation,
then beat him with birdie on the
second playoff hole to win the
Mitsubishi Electric
Championship on Sunday.
Cook closed with a 5-under-67
at Hualalai Golf Club to catch
Frost at 17-under 199. Cook
drained a 25-foot birdie putt on
the 18th green.
Frost shot 69, not able to match
Cooks birdie on the 54th hole of
the Champions Tour season-open-
er.
Frost had held the lead alone
since the 12th hole Saturday.
Both birdied the first playoff
hole (No. 18) from inside 10 feet
and went to the 17th tee. Cook hit
his tee shot about 15 feet left of
the hole and drained it after Frost
had come up short with his birdie
try.
Cook won $309,000 for his
ninth victory on the senior tour.
He did not have bogey all week
while Frost went bogey-free over
his last 48 holes.
Bernhard Langer chipped in on
the last hole to finish third alone
at 200. He started six back and
bogeyed two of the first three
before getting birdies on nine of
the next 11 holes and finishing
with a 64.
Fred Couples was five back
going into the final round and also
had two early bogeys. He rallied
with an eagle and six birdies. That
run died with a three-putt bogey
at the 17th and he was fourth after
a shooting a 67 and finishing at
202.
Kenny Perry was the first to
make a move Sunday. He started
the day in 14th place but surged
into fifth with six birdies and an
eagle. His 64 matched Langers
score as low round of the week.
Perry finished four back with
Kirk Triplett.

LANCASTER, Calif. The per-
son cast as the mastermind of the
hoax involving Notre Dames Manti
Teo may tell his side of the story, a
family member said Sunday.
Peter Navy Tuiasosopo, uncle of
Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, says the family
plans to hold a meeting this week to
determine when and how his nephew
would talk about the bizarre prank.
We want to do it right, he said,
also noting that
the family has
hired an attorney.
He never directly
mentioned the
hoax or his
nephew being
involved.
Teo insisted
he had no role in
the hoax involv-
ing his dead girlfriend and told
ESPN on Friday night that he was
duped by a person who has since
apologized to him.
In an off-camera interview, Teo
identied that person as Ronaiah
Tuiasosopo, a 22-year-old acquain-
tance who lives in California. He
said the young man contacted him
soon after Deadpsin.com broke the
news on Wednesday. The Deadspin
story indicated Ronaiah Tuiasosopo
was involved, and suggested Teo
was, too.
Were just a family of faith. The
family is holding up well, Peter
Navy Tuiasosopo said. Theyre
holding up the way I would expect a
family to. This is a storm.
He made the comments after
attending a two-hour service at the
Oasis Christian Church, where his
brother, who is Ronaiahs father, is
pastor.
Titus Tuiasosopo, the father,
choked up as he thanked people for
their prayers.
Ive been practicing how to say
no comment in 20 languages, the
pastor told his congregation. The
family has not commented publicly
since news of the hoax broke.
Ronaiah Tuiasosopo wasnt seen
in attendance, and two church mem-
bers said he was not there.
Earlier in the day, ABC news
announced that Teo would do his
rst television interview with Katie
Couric. The interview will air
Thursday on Courics daytime talk
show.

A
re you ready to adopt a new com-
panion? Some people would sug-
gest you need to go through a
mental, if not actual, checklist, ticking off
these items: breed book read; house
prepped; food, bedding and toys purchased;
dog park scouted; pet sitter lined up. Others,
like my good friend whos looking for her
mom, says Mom will be ready when I put
the dog in front of her! And, there are
many approaches between these extremes.
That said, there are a few basics that should
be covered (in your head or on paper we
all process things differently!) before you
begin this incredible relationship. First,
make sure your family is on board. The time
to learn that your husband is deathly afraid
of large dogs is not when the new one is
pouncing on him as he goes through the
front door for the rst time. If you rent a
property, know that your landlord is open to
you having a pet. Also, give some thought to
your daily schedule and how a new pet will
t in. If youre retired, that may be easy. If
you are single and work 60 hours per week,
it gets complicated. Finally, accept that
adopting a pet is a long-term commitment.
You need not worry about having fancy bed-
ding or plush toys on day one. A food and
water bowl, plus a small supply of the food
your pet is used to eating will do. If you
have a vacation coming up or an unusually
busy work schedule maybe work travel
in your near future you may want to
wait. Finally, I always tell people not to
begin looking unless they can adopt that
same day. You dont want to fall for the dog
or cat of your dreams, then have to walk
away with hopes theyll be available when
youre ready.

NEW YORK Jessica Chastain easily
outmuscled Arnold Schwarzenegger and
Mark Wahlberg over the weekend, topping the
box ofce with both her supernatural horror
film Mama and the Oscar-nominated
Osama bin Laden hunt thriller Zero Dark
Thirty.
Mama opened well above expectations
with a box-ofce topping $28.1 million for
Universal Pictures, according to studio esti-
mates Sunday. Chastain also held the second
spot with Zero Dark Thirty, for which shes
nominated by the Academy Awards for best
actress. In its second week of wide release,
Zero Dark Thirty took in $17.6 million.
The lms strong performances made an
unlikely box-ofce queen out of a chameleon-
like actress that even fans of Mama might
have trouble picking out of a lineup. Chastain,
whose credits range from Terrence Malicks
The Tree of Life to The
Help (for which she was
also Oscar nominated),
even accomplished the
rare feat by besting a cou-
ple more traditional box-
ofce stalwarts.
Schwarzeneggers post-
governorship comeback
got off to a terrible start.
His action ick The Last
Stand opened with just
$6.3 million for Lionsgate, one of the worst
debuts for the brawny 65-year-old star. The
lm came in 10th.
Though Schwarzenegger co-starred in The
Expendables 2, which opened with $28.6
million in August, The Last Stand is his rst
proper starring vehicle since exiting the
California governors seat in January 2011.
The Mark Wahlberg, Russell Crowe-led
New York crime lm Broken City didnt
fare much better. The Fox release premiered
with $9.1 million.
The Oscar-nominated Django Unchained,
meanwhile, became the directors biggest box-
ofce hit in its fourth week. The Weinstein Co.
release surpassed his previous film,
Inglourious Basterds, by adding $8.2 million
for a domestic total of $138.4 million. But it
did exceptional business internationally, taking
in $48.1 million and proving that Tarantinos
Spaghetti Western set in the antebellum South
had tremendous appeal worldwide.
But domestically, audiences ocked to the
PG-13-rated Mama, which bore the impri-
matur of the well-respected fantasy-spinner
Guillermo Del Toro, a producer.
Never underestimate the drawing power of
a PG-13 horror film, said Paul
Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for
Hollywood.com.
Nikki Rocco, head of distribution for
Universal Pictures, acknowledged the appar-
ently limitless appetite for such a lm, if done
right: Thats why we did it, she said.

Planning is never really over. Once a show ends, planning for
the next year begins. Gonzalez said the 10th anniversary will be
the biggest show yet. The hope is to make enough money for
the foundation to hold its own as a nonprot.
The Alex Speaks Foundations goal is to help support chil-
dren struggling with an autism disorder by contributing to
autistic programs at local schools. The Alex Speaks Foundation
was formed to partner with the Voices of Latin Rock event to
raise funds for those programs.
For example, in the last year, the organization supported the
San Carlos Elementary School District, which resulted in new
intervention practices when working with special education
students and training to use those resources.
The ninth Annual Voices of Latin Rock autism awareness ben-
et concert will be held Thursday, Jan. 24 at Bimbos 365 Club,
1025 Columbus Ave., San Francisco and Friday, Jan. 25 at the
Fox Theatre, 2223 Broadway, Redwood City. Tickets range from
$30 to $175. For tickets and more information visit

Presented by Health Plan of San Mateo and The Daily Journal
throughout the day. Mel couldnt
pull through one of the days larger
waves, but it didnt affect his award
or his enthusiasm.
It was the biggest wave Id seen
the whole day, you know, I wasnt
going to just let it go by so I turned
around underneath it, and it was a
full Hail Mary. I didnt think I was
going to make it, and I didnt, but it
sure was kind of cool, Mel said.
Mark Healey came to compete in
the frigid Northern California water.
Originally from Hawaii, Healey
knows surfing at Mavericks is
unique and said spectators shouldnt
be fooled by the sunny day, because
the water temperature at Mavericks
is cold. Healey knows withstanding
such conditions is crucial, as the
Big Wave World Tour provides a
variety of ocean conditions.
Its not yet known the effect the
results will have on this years
World Tour. The invitational was
made up of six riders in each of the
four heats and three from each heat
progressed into two sets of semi-
nals. The nal heat was comprised
of six of the top riders: Santa Cruzs
Zack Wormhoudt, Shawn Dollar
and Mel, Greg Long from San
Clemente, Healey from Hawaii and
Alex Martins from Brazil. Prior to
starting, the nalists had already
agreed to evenly split the $50,000
purse that would have otherwise
been divided based on placement.
You have ve of your best mates;
we all knew its the way it was,
when you take that pressure off its
cool. and I swear the universe
knows it too and all of a sudden
sends good waves, Mel said.
Although many of the surfers
came from various parts of the
world, the contestants have esteem
for their competitors.
I have so much admiration for
everyone in that entire event, all 24
guys, even the guys in the alternate
list, all deserve a chance, Mel said.
Alternates Tyler Fox, Josh Loya
and Colin Dwyer got the chance to
compete. Kelly Slater was unable to
attend because the Association of
Surng Professionals warned Kelly
he would be docked points from an
upcoming ASP competition and
potentially ned $50,000 if he com-
peted in a non-ASP event. Shane
Dorian was also unable to compete
due to injury.
The dangerous winter breaks at
Mavericks have claimed too many
lives. But on a competition day,
this is the place where you can
push it, as surfers have eyes on
them at all times thanks representa-
tives of the Coast Guard, Air Force
and water patrol, Mel said.
Making sure everyone survives
and has a blast is what the event is
about. The men who surf Mavericks

Peter Mel after waves to the crowd
after he is announced winner of
2013 Mavericks International surf
competition Sunday.
which keeps him within San Mateo
County but often means waiting for
long periods of time to be picked
up, said his teacher Jay Finkelstein.
To illustrate how difcult it is to get
around, Maks family, who couldnt
afford to get an outtted van that could
accommodate the chair, would always
bring him home food from restaurants.
He couldnt go with them. If he trav-
eled in a non-equipped van, he would
often lie down in the back of an SUV
and have to leave his chair behind. No
longer will that be the case thanks to a
group of local Good Samaritans. He
got the van just before Christmas.
I had a lot Santas this year, he
said Thursday during a meeting in
front of the adult school with those
who made it possible.
It started at school. Finkelstein
knew Mak was looking for a van.
The student was living between Daly
City and Elk Grove, which made the
limited transportation options partic-
ularly difcult. His sister, Wendy,
had tried to trade in her car to get a
van but was short of the funds need-
ed to make it work for her brother.
Finkelstein turned to his neighbor
Keith Jobe, who had a van from his
uncle that wasnt used often. Jobe
agreed and the van was donated to
the Chasers Parents Club in Napa.
Finkelstein and Carl Shellhorn, the
Chaser skipper, worked alongside
the Recreational Railroad Coalition
Historical Society to do mechanical
work.
Making it happen from there took
a team of people literally.
Kathy Davis, from the San Mateo
AAA ofce, helped with the paperwork
to make sure the transfer was legal.
Mak, for example, couldnt have a van.
He doesnt have a drivers license. But
he could share it with his sister.
John Lam, at Burlingames Smog
All, helped provide needed testing.
Dick and Julie McEachron of San
Mateo gave nancial support.
Duckys detailed the car, which had
spent the better part of three years
parked under an oak tree. Tires were
provided by Mark Brides, of
Burlingames Bridges tires. A strong
battery was offered by Billy Leonor
of Interstate Batteries in Burlingame
(The guys also brought Mak a bunch
of swag Thursday). A number of parts
were donated from Buster Thomas at
Carquest Auto Parts in Burlingame.
Leaky glass is no longer a problem as
it was replaced by Performance Auto
Glass in Woodside. And Rich Amos at
Hillsdale Transmission helped get
things running.
Its a big change, Mak said
about having the car.
The rst errand they used the van
for was to drop off donated coats in
December to the One Warm Coat
drive. Mak enjoyed the ability to go
to the farmers market and through
the countryside, just to take in the
scenery. He is excited for his free-
dom, but also the opportunity to use
the van to help others.

Matsumoto put forward to curb chal-
lenges while promoting more activity.
All ideas were met with enthusiasm for
more study and to be brought back
before the council in the future. On
Wednesday, the council will get an
update on the efforts.
Installing cameras was an equally
intriguing idea to the council. The esti-
mated $70,000 plan would include hav-
ing cameras cover the city-owned
breezeway between Grand Avenue and
Third Lane, next to Starbucks, and the
picnic area at City Hall on the south end
of the city annex building fronting
Maple Avenue, according to a staff
report. If installed, the digital video
would be reviewed periodically each
day by the downtown bike patrol of-
cers. Cameras could be moved to allow
for different areas to be monitored if the
wireless network was built out enough,
according to the staff report.
The council will also consider
approving a smoking ban in city-owned
parks and walkways. Its a measure to
deter people who chronically create
problems downtown from hanging
around the area. Another tool to help
keep the area clear is the citys request
to the District Attorneys Ofce to con-
sider including stay away orders as a
condition of probation.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen
Guidotti said such requests are not
uncommon from cities cracking down
on quality of life issues.
Lastly, Matsumoto said work with the
Chamber of Commerce regarding ways
to increase positive activity is continu-
ing. There is hope to include more
events and a celebration of the cham-
bers 100th birthday. Partnerships to
encourage more activities downtown
will take planning but could include
offering entertainment during lunch,
offering events that support local
schools or providing art to ll vacant
storefronts.
At the same meeting, the council will
consider extending a city-wide ban on
large retail stores and grocery uses east
of Highway 101.
In December, the council approved a
45-day moratorium to allow time to
research if big box stores were a t for
the community. Now it will consider
extending that ban for 16 months and
contracting with Ascent Environmental
to conduct a study about the change.
Conversations about big box stores
started in South San Francisco late this
summer when rumors began to circulate
that Walmart was interested in moving
into the Lowes location east of
Highway 101. As a result, the council
conducted an analysis of the impact the
opening of a superstore would have on
other retail establishments in the city.
While both Walmart and Lowes have
denied the rumors, a representative from
Lowes did previously submit a letter
opposing the proposal.
More recently, Costco submitted a let-
ter wanting to work to make changes to
the ban to allow for a new business cen-
ter the company had hoped to open in
South San Francisco. While the compa-
ny isnt sure the moratorium would pro-
hibit such a business, it wanted to work
with the city before moving forward,
according to the Jan. 7 from Tim Rose,
executive vice president of Business
Centers.
Costco currently has nine business
centers, the closest to South San
Francisco is in Hayward. The business-
es are designed to function as distribu-
tors for food service, convenience stores
and post ofce industries working as a
business-to-business operation, Rose
wrote. About one-third of the business is
done through deliveries. Such a center,
he wrote, would generate tax revenue
and create about 250 jobs.
The council meets 7 p.m. Wednesday,
Jan. 23 at the Municipal Services
Center, 33 Arroyo Drive.

Three candidates have led to run in
the special recall election for the
Coastside Fire Protection District that
will be held April 9.
The election is being conducted to
determine if Michael Alifano, Douglas
Mackintosh and Gary Riddell, members
of the board, shall be recalled from
ofce.
If a majority of the recall vote is afr-
mative as to any of the three ofces, the
election shall also determine the succes-
sor for the recalled seat on the board.
Interested candidates must decide
which of the three seats they wish to
hold.
Others interested in pursuing a seat on
the districts board of directors have
until Jan. 24 to le their nomination
papers with the San Mateo County
Elections Ofce.
So far, Karen Anderson has led to
run against Alifano while Lee
McKusick and Harvey Rarback have
led to run against Riddell. Rarback lost
a bid for a seat on the Half Moon Bay
City Council in November.
Mackintosh, the boards chair, does
not yet have a challenger.
Alifano, Mackintosh and Riddell are
facing recall for their effort to re-estab-
lish a stand-alone re department on the
coast while doing away with the dis-
tricts contract with Cal Fire, the
California Department of Forestry and
Fire Protection. That contract expires at
the end of June.
The close of candidate ling period
Jan. 24 also marks the opening of the
10-day public review period when any
member of the public has the opportuni-
ty to review candidate ling documents
and statements.
Any registered voter of the election
jurisdiction, or the elections ofcial,
may seek a writ of mandate or injunc-
tion requiring any or all of the materials
to be amended or deleted. The public
review period will run from Jan. 24 to
Feb. 3, leading up to the April 9 special
election.
The board moved last year to ditch its
contract with Cal Fire on a 3-2 vote,
with Mackintosh, Alifano and Riddell
voting in the affirmative and Gary
Burke and Ginny McShane voting
against the proposal.
Voters will likely be asked: Do you
want to recall (board member), and if
so, who should replace him.
Cal Fire proponents say a stand-alone
re department will be too costly and
short-staffed and are emboldened by a
San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury
reports that indicated Cal Fire serves the
coast well.
A stand-alone re department will
rely on unbudgeted overtime and will
cost at least $1.4 million per year more
than Cal Fire over the next ve years,
recall proponents said.
But Mackintosh, Alifano and Riddell
contend Cal Fire is not responsive to the
needs of the coast and would be better
served by having a fire chief who
answers directly to the board.
The Coastside Fire Protection District
serves Half Moon Bay, the unincorpo-
rated areas of Half Moon Bay and the
unincorporated communities of
Miramar, El Granada, Princeton-by-the-
Sea, Moss Beach and Montara.
Previously, the Half Moon Bay Fire
Protection District and Point Montara
Fire Protection District provided service
on the coast but the two consolidated in
2007 to form the Coastside Fire
Protection District.

The only ofce in California
to have the Non-Surgical
Crossroads
Method
This method which includes computerized true disc
decompression is considered by many doctors to be
the most advanced and successful non-invasive
treatment of serious back, neck, leg or arm pain. This
procedure allows for a much higher success rate by
increasing hydration of your discs, exibility, relax-
ation of muscles and ligaments along with improving
muscle and core strength, balance and posture. This
results in a more effective and lasting solution to your
pain. There are no side effects and no recovery time
is required. This gentle and relaxing treatment has
proven to be effective even when drugs, epidurals,
traditional chiropractic, physical therapy and surgery
have failed The Crossroads Method has shown
dramatic results.
AHealth Center Dedicated to
Severe Disc
Conditions
At Crossroads Health Center, Ive created an entire
facility dedicated to patients with severe disc condi-
tions that have not responded to traditional care. My
revolutionary, Crossroads Method, provides a very
high success rate to patients with serious back,
neck, leg and arm pain even when all else has
failed. This FDA cleared; non-surgical treatment
allows us to rehydrate your herniated or degenera-
tive disc(s) by reversing internal pressure and
enabling your disc(s) to heal from the inside out. We
succeed where other treatments have failed by
removing the pressure that is causing pain to your
disc(s) and nerves without drugs, injections, inva-
sive surgery or harmful side effects.
Patient Testimonials
Back Pain & Spasms Are Finally Gone
During the 1 1/2 years of having constant daily lower back pain
and spasms, I took anti-inammatory and pain medication, but
nothing helped lessen the pain. When an MRI showed that I had
two degenerative discs, I went through a series of lumbar epidu-
ral injections without success. The only thing that made the pain
and spasms go away was Spinal Decompression treatments at
Crossroads Health Center. Four years later and I am still pain-
free!
Lisa Kilinski.
Back Golng At Age 94
I am 94 years old and I was suffering with awful pain due to a
herniated and degenerated disk. I nally came to Crossroads
Health Center and Dr. Ferrigno and staff helped take my pain
away. After nishing the program, I went out to play golf for the
rst time and I feel ne now, no pain and I thank Crossroads
Health Center for this wonderful treatment.
Masao Mori
I Only Wish I Came To You Sooner
My sincere thanks to all of you at Crossroads Health Center for
restoring me back to good health. When I came to Dr. Ferrigno
with numbness in my hand and arm and severe back pain, you
assured me that there was hope. Not only did you make that
happen, you also gave me back my energy and sense of well
being. Dr. Ferrigno and the entire staff have been warm and
welcoming without fail. I owe you much and thank you doesnt
begin to cover it.
