High school district pursues workforce housing

San Mateo Union High School District Board also approves athletic field light use policy
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The construction of workforce

housing will be further explored
by the San Mateo Union High
School District after a recent survey showed a majority of local
teachers are concerned about
maintaining their ability to afford

living locally.
As officials
pursue a shuffle
of
facilities
which
they
hope will give
way to the highest and best use
of district prope r t i e s ,
Superintendent Kevin Skelly has

proposed the Board of Trustees
consider building an affordable
housing development reserved for
district staff on the former campus
of Crestmoor High School in San
Bruno.
The district Board of Trustees
agreed during a meeting Thursday,
Jan. 14, to gather more informa-
tion about the potential to build a

housing development which could
be constructed at the current site of
Peninsula Alternative
High
School, the districts continuation
campus.
The board also unanimously
approved policies regulating the
use of permanent lights which are
expected to be installed at athletic
fields throughout the district this

fall. The issue had created some
concern as some residents living
near district campuses had
opposed the initiative, due in part
to fears their quality of life may
suffer from a flood of light washing over their homes during night

By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
In the spirit of freedom, expression and equality, thousands are

expected to gather and celebrate
the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther
King Jr.
Monday marks the 30th
anniversary of the holiday com-
memorating the civil rights leader

and has prompted various faithbased organizations, children and
nonprofits to join in celebration
and to give back.
This year, Caltrain has partnered
with a new nonprofit to continue
its annual tradition of the Coretta

that operate throughout the coun-

New trustee for South City school board

John Baker set to fill one of the two vacancies
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
John Baker will join the South San

Francisco Unified School District Board of
Trustees, as he was selected from a group of
eight candidates interested in filling two
vacant seats on the board.
The boards three current members unanimously agreed during a meeting Thursday,
Jan. 14, to appoint Baker to fill the void
left by former trustee Maurice Goodman,
who was elected to the San Mateo County
Community College District in November.
Baker was selected ahead of Kristina
Anderson, April Black, Ray Camacho,
Daina Lujan, Patricia Murray, Reem Nasrah
and Martin Romero who also applied for
appointment, and he is expected to officially join the board next month.
Im very honored, but I recognize there
will be a lot of hard work ahead, said
Baker. Im not taking time to celebrate.
Im preparing for a hard, hopefully rewarding, job serving the kids in our district.
Another seat on the board remains
vacant, in the wake of the death of trustee
Rick Ochsenhirt last month. Board
President Patrick Lucy said he expects the
second appointment to take place later this
month.
Lucy said he believed Baker was the best
suited candidate to advocate for district students.
I think John will bring a vast knowledge of his experience. He is genuine,
which will be an amazing attribute to the
board, he said. He is determined, in a
John Baker
good sense. Not determined to run his agenda,

but determined to make
our district a better district.
Baker, 44, unsuccessfully ran for election to
the board in fall 2014,
but said the experience
helped spark his passion
to aid in development of
district policy.
Despite his defeat in a previous election,
he said he maintained an interest in the district, and once Goodman was elected to the
community college district board, friends
encouraged him to pursue a seat again.
Initially, Baker said he was reluctant to
join a board which at the time had two
white males on it, due to fears the board
makeup may not be an accurate reflection
of South San Franciscos diverse community.
But in the wake of Ochsenhirts death, he
felt he could no longer ignore his call to
duty.
He said one of his primary goals in joining the board is improving public perception of a district which has suffered a variety of setbacks over the past year.
The trust of some residents in the district
has been shaken recently through the sudden resignation of former superintendent
Alejandro Hogan, turnover of a variety of
top district officials, the overallocation of
a bond measure and a variety of other disciplinary issues involving racial tension
among district students, he said.
Baker admitted the period was difficult
for those who care deeply about the district, but also granted an opportunity for
improvement.
It wasnt just a rough stretch, it was a
pretty horrible stretch, he said.
But as the district moves ahead under the
guidance of Superintendent Shawnterra
Moore, Baker said he is hopeful a new page
has been turned for public education in
South San Francisco.
We cant be complacent, he said. We
have to take an active interest in promoting stability, after we get our new board.
He said he is certain he can help foster
that steady guidance as part of the board, in
part because he has a working relationship
with many of the existing trustees.
Baker, Lucy and fellow Trustee Rosa
Acosta ran unofficially as a slate of candidates together in the previous election,
which Baker said will help build trust on
the board.
I think for me, because I know everyone
going in, it will be an easy transition to
working as a team, he said.
Baker has one child enrolled in the district, and another who will soon join. He
works as a grant analyst for the state of
California, and has lived in South San
Francisco since 2000.
Lucy, who nominated Baker for appointment, said he believes the newest board
member will be a valuable asset to the district.
I think we will be very good, he said.
Im excited and I think all the board is
very excited.

Man cleared as
1983 Pacifica
murder suspect
By Daniel Montes
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
A 68-year-old man who was arrested and charged last year

with the 1983 sexual assault and murder of a 19-year-old
woman whose body was found in Pacifica
has been cleared of all charges.
John Scott, 68, of Arizona was released
from custody Thursday after his case was
dismissed due to insufficient evidence,
according to prosecutors.
He submitted to extensive DNA analysis and was cleared, defense attorney
Brian Getz said.
On Oct. 30, 1983, two sightseers found
John Scott
the body of San Francisco Sharon Ray on
a beach north of Pescadero Creek Road. She had been sexually assaulted and strangled, according to prosecutors.
Ray was last seen the day before she was found dead in San
Franciscos Tenderloin neighborhood, getting into a station
wagon.
Investigators determined Scott, who was 35 years old at
the time, matched the description of the station wagon driver. He was arrested as a suspect in her murder but later
released because there was insufficient evidence to prosecute
him at the time, prosecutors said.
Back in February investigators reopened the decades old
murder case after the sheriffs offices forensic lab was able
to analyze DNA found on Ray.
When the DNA evidence did not match any in a national
database, investigators obtained Scotts DNA evidence from
a Gatorade bottle. The evidence garnered a tentative positive
match to the fluid found on Ray, according to prosecutors.
Scott was arrested on Nov. 16 in Topock, Arizona, where
he was living at the time. Scott was then extradited from
Arizona to face charges in San Mateo County for murder.
Although Scott is no longer a suspect in Rays murder,
Getz said the outcome was no victory.
Its never a victory, when an innocent person like Sharon
Ray dies and they dont know who did it, Getz said.

alleged abuse in May 2014, when a

region. Much of the actual needlepoint of the nineteen pieces is from her own hands. Her expert
needlepoint appears in three other churches in the region. Other ecclesiastical work has included
her sewing and embroidering vestments for the chapel at Stanford University and other churches
and clergy. She was also an avid bridge player and an accomplished knitter. She enjoyed being with
her large extended family and many friends.

Cruzs story of White House

rejection leaves out job offer
By Will Weissert
AUSTIN, Texas Ted Cruz has said

that after working on George W.
Bushs 2000 campaign, being passed
over for a senior position with the new
administration was a crushing blow.
Turns out, it was his own choice.
Cruz was offered a job as White
House associate counsel shortly after
Al Gore conceded the race in December,
but he rejected it, members of the Bush
transition team told the Associated
Press. Cruz thought he was in line for
the more senior role of deputy White
House counsel.
The transition team members spoke
on condition of anonymity because
they werent authorized to speak publicly for the former Bush administration. They said that even before the
associate counsel job was offered to
Cruz, the deputy counsel position had
been set aside for

Timothy Flanigan,
a veteran of the
George H.W. Bush
administration.
Though the titles
are similar, the
deputy
counsel
reported directly to
then-White House
Ted Cruz
counsel and future
U. S.
Attorney
General Alberto Gonzales, while the
associates role was one of nine working under Flanigan.
Cruz spokeswoman
Catherine
Frazier said late Friday that the senator
remembers the events differently. She
said Cruz wrote extensively in his
autobiography, published last summer, about his experience following
the 2000 Bush campaign, and the lessons he learned from it.
He did have a meeting expressing

interest in the deputy counsel job,

Frazier said, but does not recall any
job offer being made.
Still, the way the transition team
officials describe the incident, it
underscores a recurring theme of Cruzs
career, how his overt personal ambition rubbed colleagues the wrong way
sometimes to his professional and
political detriment. By setting his
eyes on a bigger prize and bypassing
the chance to work as an administration lawyer in the White House, Cruz
missed potentially invaluable experience and insight into the job he is now
seeking.
Its knowing how government
works. Its knowing how decisions get
made, Rear Adm. Bobby Ray Inman,
director of the National Security
Agency from 1977 to 1981, said of the
benefits of working in the White

Trump strikes back at Cruz as Bush lands key endorsement

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C.

With two weeks to go until Iowans head
to the polls in the first vote of the
2016 primary season, Republican
front-runner Donald Trump ramped up
his attacks against rival Ted Cruz on
Friday, while Jeb Bush scored a key
endorsement for his White House bid.
South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham
announced he is backing Jeb Bush for
the Republican presidential nomination, praising the former Florida governors approach to national security.
I have concluded without any hesitation, any doubt, that Jeb Bush is worthy to be commander-in-chief on day
one, Graham said Friday at a joint
press conference with Bush.
As South Carolinas senior senator,
Graham has been a

coveted endorsement for some candidates running for
the
Republican
nomination because
he holds
clout
among establishment Republicans
in South Carolina,
Jeb Bush
one of the critical
early voting primary states. Bush was
initially considered a top contender for
the Republican nomination for president, but his campaign eventually
lagged behind candidates like Trump
and Cruz, who have each positioned
themselves as anti-establishment
alternatives.
Graham launched his own presidential campaign last summer, but dropped

out of the race last month having mustered little support in the polls.
Graham noted that Bush was the lone
candidate in Thursdays debate to
explicitly reject Trumps continued call
to indefinitely ban non-citizen
Muslims from entering the United
States.
Donald Trump will damage the ability to grow this party. He will get
creamed with Hispanics and young
women, Graham said. Ted Cruz is an
ideologue that has no ability, in my
view, to bring the country together. So
the top two guys, I think, would lose an
election we cant afford to lose.
Graham, 60, singled out another former rival, Sen. Marco Rubio, as great

climate, growth, creating new local
drought-resilient supplies and more.
Suppliers that qualify could have their conservation mandates reduced by up to 8 percent a slight increase officials noted
should continue to support a statewide savings of 1 million acre feet of water.
Regardless of easing up on some who are
struggling, water board officials emphasized everyone must continue to contribute
in meeting a cumulative 25 percent reduction, particularly as the welcomed El Nio
and increased Sierra snowpack is unlikely to
pull the state out of the multi-year drought.
Still, officials gave a slight nod that
theyd reconsider regulations later in the
year once more hydrological information is
available.
The bottom line is that the recent rain
and snow are an extremely welcomed start to
the rainy season. However, weve got to
keep conserving, El Nio or not. Were still
not even close to where we need to be and
conserving is the most cost-effective way
to stretch our supply, said Water Board
Chair Felicia Marcus. Were not going to
know until April what this rainy season will
truly bring us. That will be the appropriate
time to make significant adjustments.
As the first time the state has issued mandated cutbacks, its been a learning process
LOCAL
and continuing to revise regulations is part
of responding to stakeholder input one
of the most notable complaints hails from
Carlsbad where its water supplier invested
an estimated $1 billion in building the
states largest desalination plant, but has
yet to be given credit for creating a new
drought-tolerant source.
Fridays proposal was a response to recognize the diverse geography and economic
challenges facing water purveyors
statewide, said Eric Oppenheimer, water
board chief deputy director, who later added
its to be more equitable, make sure our
actions at a minimum werent creating a disincentive to suppliers diversifying supplies. But theyre modest and were still
moving full steam ahead with conservation.
With the stellar performance of residents
in San Mateo and San Francisco counties
who have met or exceeded their conservation goals that range from 8 percent to 36
percent, some doubt the proposed changes
will have much of an impact locally.
Instead, local water experts noted their
initial apprehension with the proposal was
whether easing up on other users across the
state would trickle down and prompt the
state to seek increased cutbacks from those
whove successfully conserved more than
required.
Our concern was that by the state providing reductions elsewhere, they would essentially shift the impact to areas with lower
reduction requirements and essentially try
to make up the total that was needed, said

Nicole Sandkulla, CEO of the Bay Area
Water Supply and Conservation Agency.
Steve Ritchie, assistant general manager
of water for the San Francisco Public
Utilities Commission, agreed, adding
although his agency may be eligible to
apply for the boards proposed growth credit, theyre already at the low 8 percent reduction target.
Im glad we wont have to make up for
any credits given to anybody else. We are
looking at the growth credit, which has a
complicated formula but its not like we
really need it at this point, Ritchie said
noting the agencys customers have exceeded mandates.
The credit could lower urban water suppliers conservation standard to account for
residential growth since 2013. However, to
calculate eligibility, the water board proposes referencing the number of new connections, not actual population growth.
High-density developments account for
much of the growth along the Peninsula and
sometimes multi-family apartments, housing dozens of individuals, only involved
the installation of a single new water connection, Sandkulla said.
What we know in this area is the increase
in our growth is typically higher density,
multi-family houses and infill develop-
ment. And that increase in population, may

not necessarily relate to an increase in the
number of meters, Sandkulla said.
Another credit unlikely to impact local
utilities are reductions given to agencies
that create new drought-tolerant supplies,
which may not include basic recycled water
or beginning to use groundwater which
has been considered by various local
providers.
The proposed credits and amended regulations wont be finalized until the board
votes Feb. 2 and the public, utilities and
stakeholders have until Jan. 28 to comment.
Current prohibitions remain in effect;
such as irrigating outdoors within 48 hours
of rain, using potable water to wash sidewalks, washing cars without a shut-off nozzle and restaurants serving water to customers who dont request it.
Moving forward, Marcus emphasized its
impossible to tell when the dry spell will
end and even if some regions receive substantial precipitation, parts of the state may
remain in a drought.
Were not going to bet on the weather.
The weather probably has better odds than
the lottery, but thats about all, Marcus
said. Were still in the worst drought weve
seen since records started being kept and the
worst drought in modern history.

has set out to end the dreaded disease.
Since declaring his own moonshot to

certainly its important to Caltrain. So in

important to keep up the tradition for the

Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said Friday

program has not been significantly changed
in more than 30 years and needs to be modernized to ensure a fair return to American taxpayers and to account for climate change,

Leading up to the national holiday, San

Association will host its annual MLK Essay
and Poetry contest for children ages preschool to 12th-grade.
Students prepared King-inspired works as
an exercise in learning about the principles
of equality. After reading their essays and
poetry to judges this week, the winners will
again read their writings and gather for a
celebration Saturday, Jan. 16, at the Martin
Luther King Jr. Center in North Central San
Mateo.
In the contests 33-year history, this was
one of the most participated events with
nearly 350 entries from children in San
Mateo and Foster City schools as well as
from local congregations, said event organizer Anita Webb.
In encouraging youth to follow in the
footsteps of the great orator, Webb said,
participants gain self-esteem by reciting
their works. Furthermore, the contest provides an opportunity to learn about peace
and conflict resolution, Webb said.
A lot of kids are shy and they learn how
to relate and express themselves and how to

deliver what theyre saying, Webb said.
When they write about Martin Luther King
and what he stands for, a lot of kids may not
be taught this at home, some may and some
may not. But by the schools participating
in this and making the kids more aware,
when they come up against a situation in
school they think twice about resolving it
in a peaceful way.
Following the readings, the Unitarian
Universalists of San Mateo will host a celebration with music, food and activities for
all ages, said Jamie Dedes, a congregation
member.
Its about honoring MLKs legacy, that
they be aware of his ideals and that they
continue to stand strong with him and those
ideals, Dedes said. The theme this year is
looking at people who have picked up on
his ideals and continued to work toward the
kind of equity and justice that he stood for.
And [the contest] helps to continue the new
generation moving forward on that.

Its unclear what impact the moratorium

Never before has Wall Street gotten

off to a worse start to a year.
The stock market capped the first
two weeks of 2016 with a steep slide
Friday that sent the Dow Jones industrial average down nearly 400 points.
All three major stock indexes the
Dow, the Nasdaq composite and the
Standard & Poors 500 are now in
whats known as a correction, or a drop
of 10 percent or more from their recent
peaks.
The market has been on a stomachchurning ride since the start of the
year, wrenched up but mostly down
because of alarm over a slowdown in
China and the plunging price of oil to
its lowest level in 12 years. Investors
are already seeing damage to U.S. corporate profits, particularly at energy
companies.
The Dow slid 390.97 points, or 2.4
percent, to 15,988.08. The average
had been down more than 500 points
early in the afternoon. The S&P 500
ended down 41.51 points, or 2.2 percent, at 1,880.33. The Nasdaq dropped
126. 59 points, or 2. 7 percent, to
4,488.42.
The Dow and S&P 500 have now fallen about 8 percent this year, while the
Nasdaq is off about 10 percent.
Oil is the root cause of today, said
Dan Farley, regional investment

strategist at the Private Client Reserve
at U.S. Bank. People are uncertain,
and when theyre uncertain theyre
scared.
Crude oil has dropped below $30 a
barrel from a high of over $100 during
the summer of 2014, eviscerating
energy company profits. On Friday,
Williams Cos. led a slide among oil,
gas and mining companies, falling
$2.19, or 12 percent, to $16.10.
Investors also got some discouraging economic news on Friday: The
Federal Reserve said U.S. industrial
production, which includes manufacturing, mining and utilities, dropped
in December for the third month in a
row. And another government report
indicated U.S. retail sales dipped last
month.
Many investors had welcomed the
new year with fairly high hopes. They
expected oil prices would stabilize.
After a market correction in August,
few forecast it would happen again so
soon. And the Federal Reserves move
in December to raise interest rates for
the first time in nearly 10 years signaled to many that the U.S. economy
was healthy.
The hope was global growth would
stabilize, and early in 2016 here, that
has been a disappointment, too, said

STOCKS
The painful return of big price swings
serves as a reminder that investing in
stocks can be harrowing, especially if
investors focus on the day-to-day
moves.
Thats not to say investors cant still
win over the long term. Over the past 12
months, an investor in an S&P 500
index fund has lost nearly 5 percent,
including dividends. But over five
years, they are up a total of 60 percent,
and over 10 years, they are up 79 percent.
Its just that analysts expect the
volatility to continue. The remarkably
calm stretch from late 2011 through last
unusually warm weather that led to bigger-than-planned discounts on clothing and other cold-weather items. It
also pointed out that stores dont have
the ability to raise prices in a still
tough spending environment, leading
to worse-than-expected deflation in
electronics like TVs and other categories.
A bright spot was online, though it
represents just about 15 percent of
total holiday sales. Online sales,
which are included in the figure, rose 9
percent to $105 billion. Thats higher
than the groups original forecast of 6

percent to 8 percent growth.
Make no mistake about it, this was
a tough holiday season for the industry, said Matthew Shay, National
Retail Federations CEO.
The holiday season is a crucial period
of retailers because it accounts for as
much as 40 percent of retailers annual
sales. But the season has exposed the
balance retailers have to strike between
satisfying customers shopping needs
online, while also trying to get them
into their physical stores.
summer was an anomaly.

From 2012 until last summer,
investors basked in a market where the
Standard & Poors 500 rarely had a bad
day. The widely followed index fell more
than 1 percent less often than Los
Angeles has rainy days, about 8 percent
of the time. During that span, the S&P
500 also completely avoided a correction, which is what traders call a sustained drop of 10 percent.
It wasnt until this past August when
the S&P 500 snapped into its first correction in nearly four years, felled by
concerns about Chinas slowdown and
the fragility of the global economy. The
worries have resumed this year. The S&P
500 fell back into a correction, and it
has already had six days where its lost
more than 1 percent.
That means the S&P 500 has had that
big a drop in 22 percent of the trading
days since Aug. 20, more than the historical average.

But when looking at the last five
years as a whole, the recent spurt of
volatility has merely pulled the market
back to normal. The S&P 500 has had
a 1 percent drop in 11 percent of trading
days in the last five years, the same as
its average over the last 50 years.
The latest big drop came Friday, when
the S&P 500 fell as much as 3.5 percent
and at one point erased 15 months of
gains.
Besides Chinas sharp economic
slowdown, analysts see other reasons
for volatility to continue. Tensions in
the Middle East are high, and the plunge
in prices of oil and other commodities
are raising concerns about global economic growth and decimating the profits and share prices of materials
producers.

Wal-Mart to shutter 269
stores, 154 of them in the U.S.
NEW YORK Wal-Mart is doing some rare pruning.
The worlds largest retailer is closing 269 stores, including 154 in the U.S. that includes all of its locations under
its smallest-format concept store called Wal-Mart
Express. The other big chunk is in its challenging
Brazilian market.
The stores being shuttered account for a fraction of the
companys 11,000 stores worldwide and less than 1 percent of its global revenue. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said the
store closures will affect 16,000 workers, 10,000 of them
in the U.S. Its global workforce is 2.2 million, 1.4 million in the U.S. alone.
The store closures will start at the end of the month.
The announcement comes three months after Wal-Mart
Stores Inc. CEO Doug McMillon told investors that the
worlds largest retailer would review its fleet of stores with
the goal of becoming more nimble in the face of increased
competition from all fronts, including from online rival
Amazon.com.
The financial impact of the closures is expected to be 20
cents to 22 cents per share from continuing operations,
with about 19 cents to 20 cents expected to affect the current fourth quarter. The company is scheduled to release
fourth-quarter and full-year results on Feb. 18.
In a separate move, Wal-Mart said that its merging its

Wells Fargo beats 4Q profit forecasts

Retail banking giant Wells Fargo & Co. said its earnings were flat in the fourth quarter, as loan growth and
expense reductions were not enough to offset struggling
oil and gas loans.
Wells Fargo earned $5.71 billion in the last three
months of 2015, unchanged from the same period a year
earlier. On a per-share basis, Wells earned $1.03 per share
versus $1.02 per share a year earlier. Like many companies, Wells has been buying back its own shares, which
makes its per-share results go up even if overall profits are
flat.
The companys results were in line with analysts forecasts, with the average estimate of 14 analysts surveyed
by Zacks Investment Research was for earnings of $1.02
per share.
Like other banks, Wells has been feeling stress from
loans made to energy companies, which have been struggling because of a plunge in the price of oil. That has made
extracting oil from the ground significantly less profitable. It has also made it harder for energy companies to
pay their debts.
Wells Fargo reported losses of $118 million on loans to
oil and gas companies, and now has $114 million in commercial loans that are 90 days or more past due, compared
with $47 million a year earlier.
Wells Fargo shares fell $1.82, or 3.6 percent, to $48.82
amid a broad market downturn.

for playoff game against Broncos
Menlo School holds off rival Sacred Heart Prep

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Menlo girls basketball team hasnt been

in a lot of close games this season as the threetime defending Central Coast Section Division
IV champion has not been tested a lot.
The Knights were coming off a 43-point win
over Notre Dame-San Jose when they hosted
rival Sacred Heart Prep Friday evening.
There was nothing easy about Menlos 54-46
win. But in the end, it was the Knights allaround team effort that enabled them to pull out
the victory.
It was a tough game, said Menlo coach

John Paye. The first round of league (play) is
usually tough. SHP never backed down.
While Menlo leading scorer Sam Erisman did
what she does she scored a game-high 23
points, which came on the heels of a 27-point
effort earlier in the week it was the contributions of her teammates that enabled the Knights
to escape with the win.
Whether it was DeJeane Stine hounding SHP
into turnovers, or Mackenzie Duffner scoring
12 points, it seemed everyone who played made
a contribution.
We played really well as a team, Erisman
said. Everyone was scoring. The biggest thing
was, everyone stepped up.

Duffner was the only other Knight to score in
double figures.
SHP was led Maata Mahoni, who scored 15
points nine coming in the first half. Riley
Hemm added 12 for the Gators, nine of which
came in the second half.
Menlo (3-0 WBAL Foothill, 12-3 overall)
could never quite find a rhythm offensively, but
the Knights defense was on point. It was the
defense that gave Menlo some first-half breathing room when the Knights pressured SHP (0-2,
11-2) into a flurry of turnovers late in the second
half, which allowed Menlo to turn a 20-17 lead
into a 29-17 advantage at halftime.
In the fourth quarter, Menlo stretched its lead

to 17, 47-30 with 5:51 to play
But in each instance, the Gators mounted a
comeback. The Gators used an 8-0 run in the
third quarter to close to eight points, 35-27. In
the fourth, they scored six unanswered and
outscored the Knights 15-3 to cut the deficit to
50-44 with just over a minute to play.
The Knights, however, hit 4 of 6 free throws
down the stretch to keep the Gators at bay.
Both teams got off to slow starts, as they
combined for just 16 points in the opening
quarter. Apair of Erisman free throws opened the

Grizzlies roar back to win

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
As one of the only two underclassmen on

the floor Friday night, Jefferson sophomore
Daniel Benjamin certainly took his licks.
Of the many physical fouls endured down
the stretch by the stocky 5-10 guard at the
hands of visiting South City, the most jarring came with three minutes remaining in
regulation amid a 74-74 tie when he got
hammered by Warriors junior guard Amir
Boddie while driving to the hoop for a layup
attempt.
After laying at the baseline for a moment
to collect himself, Benjamin got to his feet
and took a deep breath to quell his nerves
before making his way to the free throw
line, where the sophomore dropped a pair of
free throws to give Jefferson (2-1 in PAL
North, 9-5 overall) the lead for good en
route to a thrilling 84-80 comeback win.
He rang my head a little bit, Benjamin
said. Then I was just a little nervous to
go to the free throw line and make those just
to put us up.
It was just one minute previous Jefferson
had taken its first lead of the game. Prior to
that, the Warriors fueled by a nine-point
run to open the game led by as much as 13
during the first half, and took a commanding
44-33 lead into halftime.
Boddie was the catalyst for South City (32, 9-8), posting a career night, scoring a
game-high 45 points. The junior knocked
down six 3-pointers throughout, and fueled a
dialed Warriors offense that shot 62 percent
from the field in the first half, including 8
for 9 from beyond the arc.
But as South City went cold in the third
quarter, the Grizzlies came roaring back.
Jefferson outscored the Warriors 23-16 in
the third, before finally taking the lead midway through the fourth on a put-back by
sophomore center Rodney Lawrence the
only other underclassman to play in the
game to give Jefferson a 72-71 advantage.
Then, despite Boddie answering right
back with a 3-pointer to give the Warriors a
74-72 edge, the wildly physical game

Rio Olympics facing deep cuts

By Stephen Wade
RIO DE JANEIRO Cuts, cuts and more

cuts.
Thats the situation facing international
sports federations, with just over six
months to go before the Olympics in Rio de
Janeiro.
Brazilian organizers will be meeting next
month with federation leaders, and World
Rowing executive director Matt Smith

already knows what to expect: Hes bracing
for news that 4,000 temporary grandstand
seats at the rowing Olympic venue wont be
built.
At the swimming venue, several thousand
seats have already been slashed. And the
world governing body for sailing learned
more than a year ago that bleachers it wanted had been ruled out.
Television viewers wont notice when
South Americas first Olympics open on

Aug. 5, but Rio organizers are scaling down
everywhere to eliminate about $500 million
to balance the operating budget of 7.4 billion reals ($1.85 billion).
Ive been around since Los Angeles in
1984 and we havent been in such a situation
where a country that is staging the games is
in such a vulnerable situation, Smith said
in an interview with the Associated Press.

Westmoor boys soccer showed some serious finishing power Friday at San Mateo.
Despite being on top of the world after a
game-tying goal in the 80th minute, the
Rams left feeling they let a viable chance at
a win elude them.
Ultimately, Westmoor settled for a 1-1 tie
in the key Peninsula Athletic League Ocean
Division matchup. But, after scoring the
dramatic game-tying goal off the head of
junior Joseph Ramirez, the Rams got two
more great chances in extra time, with both
shot attempts striking the upright to deny
the unlikely comeback.
We like playing a fast-pace, quick-touch
(soccer), Westmoor head coach Omar
Rashid said. We didnt do that so much in
the first half. But in the second half, we
brought it back. And, wow, Im still in
shock of how the game ended.
The tie still proves critical for the Rams
(2-1-1 in PAL Ocean, 5-3-1 overall), who
remain in the upper half of the PAL Ocean
Division standings, staying within striking
distance of first-place Woodside and secondplace San Mateo (2-0-2, 3-2-3). The Rams
lost Wednesday to Woodside, with a second
meeting scheduled for Feb. 5.

Status of Pats Jones unknown

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. The New

England Patriots would have loved to spend
the week with nothing else to worry about
except Saturdays playoff game against the
Kansas City Chiefs.
Then Pro Bowl defensive lineman Chandler
Jones wandered over to the local police station, shirtless and disoriented, leaving his
house reeking of burnt marijuana. Suddenly,
the defending Super Bowl champions were
back on defense.
Fortunately, theyre pretty good at it.
I mean, are there any more questions about
the Chiefs here? coach Bill Belichick said
Thursday after nine straight unanswered questions about Jones unusual weekend. The rest
of it, Im done talking about. We issued a
statement, thats it.
Jones apologized to his teammates and the
New England fans on Thursday, saying he
made a pretty stupid mistake, but he
declined to elaborate on what happened.
Belichick refused to say whether Jones would
be benched for fear of revealing valuable
strategic information to the Chiefs.

In the Patriots locker room, the players
said they would have no trouble putting the
incident aside on Saturday. And its hard to
doubt them, after what they have gone
through over the last 12 months and beyond.
Hours after New Englands 45-7 victory
over the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC championship game last January, the team was
accused of illegally deflating the footballs.
Even before the league investigation that
would find them guilty, the Patriots plugged
up their ears and dug in their heels.
And went on to win the Super Bowl.
A season earlier, New England recorded its
now-customary 12-win season, AFC East title
and trip to the conference championship
game despite releasing tight end Aaron
Hernandez over the summer, shortly before he
was charged with first-degree murder. (He was
convicted in April 2015, a few months after
his former teammates Super Bowl victory.)
If Jones is benched for part of the game, the
Patriots will be giving up a pass-rusher whose
12 1/2 sacks were the fifth most in the NFL
this season.
No one expects a blowout

in Packers-Cardinals game
GLENDALE, Ariz. Three weeks ago, the

Arizona Cardinals beat the Green Bay
Packers by 30 points. No one should expect
that kind of blowout when the teams meet
again Saturday night, this time in the NFC
divisional playoffs.
I think these guys denitely come back
here with a bad taste in their mouth,
Arizona cornerback Patrick Peterson said,
so I think it will denitely be a much better
game.
Oddsmakers are picking the Cardinals, the
NFCs No. 2 seed, by seven points,
although Packers coach Mike McCarthy
wouldnt call his team the underdog.
Were no underdog going to Arizona,
McCarthy said after his teams 35-18 wildcard victory over Washington. I dont care
what people think or how were picked or
things like that. Were going out there to
win, and expect to win.
Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers, on
the other hand, acknowledged his teams
underdog status, but said the pressures all
going to be on Arizona.
Theyre coming off a tough loss at home
against Seattle. Before that, they blew us
out, Rodgers said. Theyre the Super Bowl
favorites, and obviously the favorite team
on Saturday night, so weve just got to go

out, be loose, let it all hang out, because the
pressures all on that side.
Arizona safety Rashad Johnson said
theres pressure on both sides.
Weve all got to play the game, he said.
I think theres a little bit of pressure on
everyone to go out and want to play well. If
you dont feel any butteries and have some
type of pressure, youre in the wrong business.
Cardinals coach Bruce Arians discounted
the whole concept of pressure.
There is no pressure, he said. Pressure
is something when youre not prepared for
something. We have high expectations.
The Dec. 27 victory over the Packers
capped a nine-game winning streak for
Arizona (13-3). A week later, the Cardinals
ended their regular season with a 36-6 drubbing at the hands of Seattle, a loss they dismiss as an aberration.
The Packers (11-6) still had a chance at
the NFC North title, despite the loss in the
desert, but they nished the regular season
by losing at home to Minnesota, so Green
Bay settled for a wild-card berth.
And last Sunday in Washington, Rodgers
and the rest of the Packers played better
than they had most of the season.

Steelers have to adjust without All-Pro Brown

By Will Graves
PITTSBURGH Antonio Brown leaned

back in his locker recently and allowed himself
a brief moment of introspection.
Fresh off the most productive three season
stretch by a wide receiver in NFL history, a run
that has garnered the Pittsburgh Steelers star a
pair of first-team All-Pro selections while feeding social media a steady stream of GIF-worthy
open field moves and touchdown celebrations,
Brown listened as someone rattled off the list of
Hall of Famers whose numbers he has somehow
topped.
I am the best though, right? Brown said in
a way best described as a humblebrag. Guys
havent done what Ive done. But we dont want
to talk about that. We always want to grow.
Growing is never-ending.
Even when it hurts.
Brown will miss the first playoff game of his
career on Sunday when the Steelers travel to
Denver in the divisional round. The four-time
Pro Bowler and one of the leagues most electric
players is out with a concussion sustained in the
final minute of last weeks wild-card win over
Cincinnati. The injury deprives the Steelers of
their MVP against the leagues best defense,
one he lit up for 189 yards and two touchdowns
in a comeback victory a month ago.
Yet the Steelers insist they can get by without
him. Having an apparently healthy-ish Ben
Roethlisberger helps. The quarterback is officially questionable with a sprained right shoul-
Playoff brief
Seattle lists Marshawn Lynch
as probable against Panthers
RENTON, Wash. The Seattle
Seahawks have listed running back
Marshawn Lynch as probable on their final
injury report for Sundays NFC divisional
der but threw the ball well

in practice on Friday,
according to teammates. It
also helps to have a group
of receivers who have
spent their time in
Pittsburgh absorbing what
they can from one of the
most meticulous preparers
Antonio Brown in the league.
Weve all leaned on him
in the past, but it creates an opportunity for us,
Markus Wheaton said Friday.
One Pittsburgh hasnt had to face since a
sprained ankle forced Brown to skip three
games in 2012. Back then he was an overachieving sixth-round draft pick. Now hes
arguably one of the NFLs most unguardable
threats, his combination of speed Brown
runs with the intensity of a 6-year-old chasing
down an ice-cream truck hands and body control makes any one-on-one matchup with him
borderline unfair. Look for no further than 355
receptions since the start of the 2013 season as
proof.
Heading to Denver without him is less than
ideal, yet its a challenge Wheaton, Martavis
Bryant, Darrius Heyward-Bey and Sammie
Coates believe theyre ready to embrace. None
of them have played a game in Pittsburgh without Brown. Not having his familiar No. 84 in
the huddle will be weird. It wont be the end of
the world.
To not see him be there with us, weve got to
do some bigger things that we havent done
before to show him that weve got his back,
said Coates, a rookie who caught all of one pass

in limited playing time.
In that sense, Browns own development has
hastened the maturity of the rest of the group.
Offensive coordinator Todd Haley requires each
of Pittsburghs receivers to learn every route
from every position so theyre prepared when
he finds something he wants to exploit.
Sometimes that means putting Brown in the
slot. Sometimes it means putting him in the
backfield or in motion at the snap. The Steelers
expect that constant tinkering to help minimize the inevitable drop-off.
Everybody knows where to be and how to do
everything, Heyward-Bey said. When somebody goes down, its not like, Oh no, what do
we do?
And Browns supporting cast can occasionally be spectacular in its own right.
The 6-foot-4 Bryant is a physically raw marvel, his somersaulting touchdown grab last
week against Cincinnati in which he somehow
pinned the ball between his legs as he careened
out of the end zone a symbol of what he can do
when hes mentally and physically engaged.
Wheaton is proving to be a steady complement
to Brown, putting up 201 yards against
Seattles Legion of Boom in November.
The No Fly Zone awaits in Denver this
weekend, though the Broncos remain wary even
with Brown no longer in the mix.
They still got a bunch of speed, a bunch of
talented guys on the field, Denver cornerback
Aqib Talib said. And they still got Ben
Roethlisberger. So, we know weve still got to
do our part.

1B Brandon Belt, Giants
exchange salary arbitration figures
SAN FRANCISCO First baseman
Brandon Belt has asked for a $7.5 million
salary for the 2016 season from the San
Francisco Giants, who are offering $5.3 million.
The salary arbitration numbers were
exchanged Friday. While Giants general manager Bobby Evans has regularly brought up
the idea this offseason of a possible multiyear
deal for Belt, nothing has been done yet.
Belt traveled to Florida in February 2014 for
an arbitration hearing that was avoided when
the sides settled just beforehand to avoid the
teams first hearing since catcher A.J.
Pierzynski in 2004.
In 2014, Belt returned from concussions to
help lead the Giants to their third World Series
in five years. The 27-year-old batted .280 with
18 home runs and 68 RBIs in 2015 as the

Right fielder Reddick gets

$6.575M, one-year deal from As
OAKLAND Right fielder Josh Reddick
has reached agreement on a $6.575 million,
one-year contract with the Oakland Athletics
to avoid salary arbitration.
Oakland also settled with right-hander
Fernando Rodriguez on a $1.05 million, oneyear deal Friday. He asked for $1.05 million
and paperwork necessitated the club offer the
same salary.
Reddick batted .272 with 20 homers and 77
RBIs in 149 games last season for the As. An
AL Gold Glover in right field in 2012, Reddick
was limited to 114 and 109 games in the 2013
and 14 seasons before bouncing back healthy
last year.
Rodriguez went 4-2 with a 3.84 ERA in 56
appearances and 58 2-3 innings with Oakland
in 2015.

RAMS
didnt suffer our second loss of the year,
Rashid said.
Westmoor was staring point-blank down
the barrel of a potential loss. But a late
offensive saw the Rams on the attack for the
final 15 minutes of the game. They squandered several chances with hurried attacks
and rushed shots, including a free kick in
the 78th minute from 30 yards out directly
in the middle of the field by senior
Gulilherme Silva that sailed way high.
But Westmoors back row helped put its
offense right back on the attack, pushing it
forward for a contested ball that resulted in
another penalty on San Mateo, giving the
Rams a free kick from 35 yards out in the
80th minute. This time Westmoor converted, as junior midfielder Edgar Ramirez sailed
the free kick in for senior Ahmed Fara, who
headed it out to Joseph Ramirez, who scored
JEFF
swayed the advantage to Jefferson. Not only
did two South City players foul out
including 6-5 center Barry Tukuaoga, just
52 seconds into the final period the
Grizzlies went to the line 19 times, converting 16 of their free throws.
It was an aggressive game, but I think
those fouls werent warranted, South City
head coach Keith Smith said. It turned the
tide a little bit. But Jeff made the pressure
free throws. They went on a little run and
they capitalized on it.
It was a gut-check performance by

off the wing from 10 yards out for the first

goal of his varsity career.
Honestly, I was just waiting for something in the air and when I saw it come in, I
went straight to it, Joseph Ramirez said.
For the Bearcats, the goal was doubly
costly, as they lost goalkeeper Sebastian
Lopez to injury as well. A first-year varsity
senior, Lopez had played every minute in
the goal for San Mateo this season up to
that point. But as he was rushing over to
defend the shot, a teammate ran into him,
causing him to hit the turf for several minutes until he departed before play resumed.
I saw it really good and as I was diving
he (a teammate) hit me right in my chest,
Lopez said.
With Lopez departing, San Mateo was
forced to turn to midfielder Marcos Paulo
Fonseca to anchor the goal. The junior had
never tended the position at the varsity
level, and the Rams nearly exploited the
advantage two minutes later after earning
another free kick from 35 yards out.
Westmoor sophomore Luis Aguilar sent
the free kick through, but when the ball
skipped directly to Fonseca, the ball spun

through his hands and looked to be on target, but glanced off the post and out of
bounds.
The ensuing corner kick produced another
golden opportunity for the Rams, and it was
shot into traffic, allowing Silva to touch it
close toward the post. Junior Anderson
Nascimento Westmoors leading goal
scorer on the year with 10 goals streaked
toward it, and looked ready to take on the
post if need be. But he had to veer just to the
outside to catch up with the ball and get a
head on it, but didnt have enough room to
curl the attempt around the post, instead
watching it glance off and away.
I didnt know if I should head it, but at
the same time, it was really complicated to
score on, Nascimento said.
Nascimento had a similar chance in a dramatic win last season, scoring on a header
off a corner kick in the final minute as
Westmoor celebrated a 2-1 non-league win
over Soquel. Missing a command performance Friday, however, wasnt for a lack of
effort, according to Rashid.
This year has been the year they dont

give up and they play and play and play,
Rashid said.
Until Westmoors late surge, San Mateo
was on its game with crisp passing and
superior ball control. The game was scoreless at halftime, but the Bearcats struck
quickly to open the second half.
Following a long battle for possession at
midfield, San Mateo junior Clayton Gee
controlled it near the sideline and sent it to
a streaking Jose Millan. The senior forward
sped through traffic and exacted a pass to an
open Emilio Morales in the wing, who took
it in stride to power in for a 1-on-1 look and
score on a cross-shot from 20 yards out to
give the Bearcats the lead.
San Mateo kept the pressure on for a
majority of the second half, but made some
subs in the final 15 minutes in shifting to a
defensive posture. The move ultimately
allowed Westmoors strength to define the
outcome of the game.
If we would have stayed the way we were,
we could have kept the base and won the
game, Lopez said.
Jefferson to even stay in the game to begin

with. Somehow, despite South Citys epic
opening half, Jefferson refused to go away.
After the Warriors opened the game on a
nine-point
capped by one of
three 3-pointers in the first half by senior
point guard Andrew Guiang the Grizzlies
managed to outscore South City 12-11 over
the remainder of the quarter.
And as South City scored 24 points amid a
fast and furious second quarter, Jefferson
managed to keep pace by scoring 21. Still,
the Warriors seemed to have the Grizzlies
right where they wanted them.
This is our style of basketball, Smith
said. This is how we play. We pass and
we press. Unfortunately, Jefferson had a lot
of good ball handlers.
Along with Benjamin steadying the
Grizzlies offense in the second half, senior

forward Damari Cual-Davis gave his team a
spark, totaling 18 points and eight
rebounds in the game. Five of those
rebounds came in the third quarter.
More so, Jefferson adjusted to South
Citys outside shooting dominance. The
Warriors fell off their surreal 3-point pace of
the first half, shooting just 3 of 9 from 3point land in the third quarter.
They came out and they adjusted and we
started going to the basket instead of jacking up 3s, Boddie said.
With South City clinging to a 60-56 lead
to start the fourth quarter, Jefferson closed
to within a one-shot striking distance five
times before finally gaining its first lead.
But Boddie was putting on a clinic, responding to the Grizzlies every time theyd get
close.
With the frenzied crowd at Jeffersons oldschool, pit-style stadium, Boddie seemed to
be feeding off the energy of the room. Down
the stretch, as South City fell behind 80-74,
he even buried a hurried 3-pointer from 45feet out with nothing but net.
I aint never played in an arena like
this, Boddie said. Ive never heard that
much noise. I loved it though.
Benjamins fortitude won the day though.
He went 8 of 10 from the free throw line in
the final quarter. He went on to tab a doubledouble with 17 points and a game-high 11
rebounds.
He played very tough, Jefferson head
coach John Falabella said. Everyone
played tough. It was a great team win.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
OLYMPICS
Brazil was booming when it was awarded
the games in 2009. Now its buffeted by the
worst recession since the 1930s. The currency
has plunged almost 50 percent against the
dollar, and inflation is over 10 percent and
rising. In addition, President Dilma Rousseff
is facing impeachment, partly driven by a billion-dollar bribery scandal at state-run oil
company Petrobras.
We havent had to face anything like this,
Smith said. It was a bold move to go to an
emerging country. The IOC deciding to go to
South America was a really important, strategic issue but with all the associated risks.
Hit by cash-flow problems, Rio is reducing
SPORTS
the use of unpaid volunteers. Transportation
is being rejigged. Few competition results
will be available on paper, and Olympic
sponsor Panasonic has stepped in to give
unprecedented financial help to run the opening and closing ceremonies.
Organizers backed away from plans to have
athletes pay for air conditioning in their
rooms, but rooms in the Olympic Village
wont have televisions.
The International Olympic Committee is
trying to find a positive angle, talking up austerity after the overall $51 billion figure
associated with the 2014 Sochi Winter
Olympics scared away many potential bid
cities.
We are looking into each and every budget
item, Christophe Dubi, the Olympic Games
Executive Director, told the AP this week in
Rio. I think this is setting a new benchmark.
The result is heading in the right direction.
They (organizers) have found efficiencies, and

I wouldnt call it cuts.
Like many, Dubi believes Rios natural
beauty will make up for everything else.
No one is saying that the Olympic experience will be affected. On the contrary, Rio
will be magic, Dubi said.
Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes is almost bragging
about the cutbacks as Brazil spends about $10
billion in public and private money to organize the games. Paes is seen as a possible 2018
presidential candidate who hopes to get traction from the Olympics.
Come on, we are not China, we are not
England, he said this week at the handover of
the Olympic basketball arena. We are not a
rich country. So, every time I can cut some of
the budget for Olympics we will do it. This
is not going to be the Olympics of wasting
money.
Alan Tomlinson, who studies the Olympics
15
at the University of Brighton in England, said

the IOC was altering the script to make pragmatism sound like idealism.
That kind of message is for the global public, Tomlinson said in an email. The promised benefits to the local communities and
the public of the host city and nation are
beyond the reach of the IOC.
Cuts aside, Rio is facing other problems:
Ticket sales are lagging. Only about half
of the 4.5 million domestic tickets have been
sold. Rio organizers say Brazilians do everything at the last minute.
Guanabara Bay and the Rodrigo de Freitas
lagoon venues for sailing, rowing and
canoeing show astronomically high virus
levels, documented in an on-going study by
AP. Organizers cant fix the contamination
and are implementing only stop-gap measures, which will leave the health of more than
1,000 athletes at risk.

SHP took an early lead when Grace
Battles knocked down a 3-pointer.
That was followed by a free throw and
a basket off the drive from Mahoni,
which gave the Gators an early 6-2
lead.
After that, it was the Gators who
went cold, going scoreless for nearly
three minutes as the Knights rattled
off seven straight points for a 9-6

made it 9-7 after one quarter.
In the beginning, I think it was

A fastbreak layup from Mahoni to

Gators then made three of four free

Menlo finally got untracked, however, and led by 10, 40-30, going
into the fourth quarter.
The Knights appeared to have landed the knockout punch when they
scored the first seven points of the
fourth, to push their lead to 47-30, but
the Gators had one last run in them.
Hemm drilled a 3, they made some free
throws and an Agnotti bucket
trimmed the deficit to single digits,
38-47.
While the Gators did make things
interesting down the stretch, the
Knights did just enough to pull out

It wasnt the smoothest, but it

Maggie Smith in her wheel

house in Lady in the Van
By Jake Coyle
There are cozy, innocuous pleasures to Nicholas Hytners adaption of Alan Bennetts The Lady
in the Van, but chief among them
is watching two grand old talents
Maggie Smith and Bennett,
himself operating firmly in
their self-created wheel houses.
Smith plays the ornery vagrant
Mary Shepherd who one day turns

up in her dilapidated van on the
playwrights North London block,
where she stubbornly remains for
15 years. After taking squalid
turns parked in front of different
neighbors, shes allowed by
Bennett to settle in the driveway
to his townhouse.
Shes a mysterious and cantankerous figure. Sharing her name
with few, she explains that shes
in an incognito position, possi-
bly. When not impinging on

Bennett for a visit to the lavatory,
she chases singing school children, paints her rundown van yellow and skulks around, a cranky
ball of rags and plastic bags. There
are hints of a past as a nun, as well
as an old sin that haunts her.
In short, Shepherds irascible
peculiarities are tailor made for
Smith, whos given all manner of
things at which to disgustfully
wiggle her nose the trademark
power of Smiths thats no less

potent as a foul homeless woman
than as the dignified dowager of
Downton Abbey. She can condescend, magnificently, from any
height.
Smith played the role before in
the 1999 play The Lady in the
Van, which was also directed by
Hytner, a regular hand of Bennett
movie adaptations (The History
Boys, The Madness of King
George).
But the play wasnt the start of

The Lady in the Van. It comes
from Bennetts own life. The story
is mostly true: Shepherd really did
turn up on Bennetts Camden
block, like a pre-packaged story
for the playwright. He wrote about
her first as diary entries for the
London Review of Books, then as
a short memoir.

13 Hours is thrilling, but too video game-like

By Lindsey Bahr
The most surprising thing about

13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of
Benghazi is how Michael Bay
makes 144 minutes pass so quickly.
His excitable camera is always
doing something, whether shaking with hand-held authenticity to
capture moments in battle or floating through scenes instead of
staying static. It gives the entire
experience a waterfall effect. This
can be a little dizzying but it certainly keeps the energy up when
the rounds arent firing.
13 Hours, which Chuck Hogan
adapted from Mitchell Zuckoffs
book, is about many things, but
Bay tries to zero in on that
moment when those six contract
soldiers tried to do the right thing
in a difficult situation.
It is neither as grossly gratuitous as Peter Bergs Lone
Survivor nor as gripping as
Ridley Scotts Black Hawk
Down. Instead 13 Hours is a
bombastic, vulgar and often
thrilling exercise in red, white and
blue machismo that relies too
much on romanticized video game
aesthetics and corny sentimentali-

asked for our ideal superpower.
Some children answered time travel, others dared
to fly. But
amidst the
hands waving
in the air, I
yearned for
invisibility.
Being invisible, I conceived, was to
find myself free from the world. It
was to escape for one moment,
drifting in a time and space on my
own. To be invisible was to have
a separate realm; and in my childhood mind, it all seemed like a
dream.
See STUDENT, Page 18

STUDENT
But as I grew older, there were times
when my ideal power did become a reality. I
saw people around me who felt unseen by
the world. I caught glimpses of those who
were unaccepted because they were different. Invisibility no longer seemed like a
thrilling fantasy; it was lonely, solitary,
sheltered.
Among those who suffer from this invisibility are those with mental illness,
whose wounds are the most invisible of all.
People with anxiety are deemed crazy,
insane, worrisome. Those with depression
are pessimistic. Anorexia is easily traded
for conceited. Mental disorders have
become discussed so casually, their nicknames morph into normal conversation.
And while generalizing something makes
an uncomfortable topic easier to face, the
invisibility it creates is dangerous.
WEEKEND JOURNAL
According to the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services, One in five
American adults have experienced a mental
health issue. However, only 44 percent of
adults with diagnosable mental health
problems and less than 20 percent of children and adolescents receive needed treatment.
People with mental disorders are afraid to
seek help because of the image society has
created for them. If we traded mental illness
for a physical mishap, then the picture
becomes clear: Telling someone with a broken leg it will heal itself over time is
simply not possible. The same applies to
mental illnesses; once there is a wound,
even if it is psychological, it cannot be
brushed off. Just like a physical illness, it
requires compassion, patience, understanding.
A person doesnt just catch a cold or get
a life-threatening disease on purpose, nor
do they purposely have a mental illness,
said Tara Sharvini, a senior at Carlmont
High School in Belmont. The perception
of mental illness as superficial is superfi-
THE DAILY JOURNAL
cial in itself, because the person saying it

doesnt know what is going on in another
persons mind. With that being said, thats
why its so important to talk to people in
your life and keep an open dialogue.
But the stigma surrounding mental illness does not always come consciously. A
group of business professionals may be
crowded in a coffee shop, carrying on a
casual conversation. One laughingly
remarks how one of the pictures frames is
crooked. The unevenness is bothering my
OCD, he says, without a second glance.
To the outsider, this is a typical scene
replaying every day. But to someone with a
mental disorder, it is a direct blow to the
severity of their illness. It is saying OCD
(Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) is as
simple as a tilted picture frame. But unlike
the general assumption, OCD has nothing
to do with just being organized. It is a
superstition and fear-driven compulsive
behavior, one that cannot be satisfied by
simply adjusting a frame. It is a never-ending sense of anxiety, and to reduce it to
casual conversation reduces its value.
By portraying those with mental disorders as less human or abnormal, those

who suffer from mental illness face
impending invisibility. It creates an environment where those who are affected by an
abstract wound are afraid to seek help,
because they believe they will not be
accepted.
Many people believe mental illness
defines a person, said senior Kendall
Kauffman, president of the Mental Health
Awareness Club at Carlmont High School.
They might believe, say, that a person
with depression has no emotion other than
sadness, or a person with OCD has no context of the greater situation beyond their
compulsions. This behavior is identical to
some racist, sexist, homophobic or ableist
behavior. However, in both cases, when
they get to know the person behind their
labels, many people see them as human.

13 HOURS
descension of doughy CIA analysts like the chief (David
Costabile) who often reminds them that they are only hired
help and that he and his fellow agents are the best and the
brightest. He even rattles off the names of their Ivy League
credentials as though hes Dowager Countess of Benghazi.
Its ridiculous and over the top, but it sets up Bays point
that the soldiers know best and no one else can see as clearly whats going on in Libya.
They gripe about how things were different in Iraq, where
they had a purpose that they understood, they had support
in desperate situations, and their compounds were up to
standards.
These guys know before anyone that the unofficial consulate housing Ambassador Christopher Stevens (Matt
Letscher) just down the road from their base isnt safe, and
that the small security unit at the consulate wont be able to
defend the grounds under attack.
That proves to be true when the armed militants descend
on the consulate (no motive is assigned). The soldiers back
at their base in an annex facility are ready to jump, but
theyre told to stand down until they decide to just go anyway.
Depending on what youre looking for, 13 Hours can
function as a decent actioner, a tribute to those who died, an
indictment of the power structure, or all three. Its not a subtle movie, nor is it anywhere close to being as elegant and
dread-soaked as something like Kathryn Bigelows Zero
Dark Thirty.
Bay reverts to some of his old clichs, too, like cheesy
backlit American flags, children frolicking in sun-soaked
fields, and slow-motion explosions. And while there are
some exciting set pieces, much of the 13 hour showdown is
needlessly confusing.

sporting events.
However, no one spoke in opposition Thursday night and the board
spent much of its time on the housing
issue. A survey responded to by 568
district teachers gauging the most
important issues facing local educators revealed nearly 67 percent identified the ability to afford housing as a
primary concern.
Only teacher salary outranked the
interest of respondents to cost of living, according to the report.
The survey also showed housing
cost would be the determining factor
in whether teachers decided to stay
working in the district.
Trustee Greg Land said he could support a teacher housing initiative as a
means of attracting and retaining
quality educators.
It is getting harder and harder for
us to recruit teachers and keep them,
he said. That is critical, that we try
to retain great teachers and bring new
ones in, and I think we could do that.
Though no formal decision was
made during the meeting, the board
unanimously gave the indication they
would be willing to support hiring a
consultant who could usher officials
through the process of gathering
more information about workforce
housing.
The housing proposal is contingent
on the ability of officials to negotiate
an agreement with the San Mateo
County Office of Education to lease or
purchase property on Rollins Road in
Burlingame, which could eventually
serve as the home of Peninsula
Alternative High School.
Officials have considered relocating

the continuation program from the
Crestmoor property, due to concerns
regarding its placement in a remote
region of the district which is far from
the homes of many students.
The Rollins Road property is currently being leased to serve as the
home of Design Tech High School,
the districts charter school known as
d.tech, which is slated to move onto
the campus of Oracle Corporation in
Redwood Shores by 2017, pending
city approval.
Once d.tech, formerly located on
the campus of Mills High School,
moves onto the campus of the tech
titan, officials would be granted
greater flexibility in management of
district property.
Should officials ultimately express
a desire to develop housing on the
Crestmoor site, the board agreed it
would be in the districts best interest
to attempt collaboration with other
regional agencies on the project.
Trustee Marc Friedman suggested
officials look to the county Office of
Education or Board of Supervisors for
leadership on the housing proposal.
We need partners on this, he said.
The project was not universally
supported though, as Trustee Peter
Hanley said he is still uncertain developing housing is in the best interest
of the district.
I remain to be convinced about
this housing initiative, he said. I
can be convinced, but Im not yet.
He also questioned whether the
Crestmoor campus would be the ideal
location for a residential development, because it is so isolated from
the rest of the district, which may not
be appealing to young teachers who
would traditionally apply for workforce housing.
Im not convinced that a 23-, 24or 25-year-old would want to live in
Crestmoor, even at a cut-rate rent, he
said. Thats not where I would have

chosen to live when I was 24 or 25.
Trustee Linda Lees Dwyer said she
generally supported gathering more
information on the project, but
expressed a desire to proceed prudently.
We have to be exquisitely careful,
and exquisitely cautious, she said.
As the board considered future uses
for a variety of district properties, it
also moved ahead with policies regulating use of lights and public address
systems at athletic fields.
The policies lay the groundwork for
the installation of permanent field
lights which have been proposed for
all campuses, other than Burlingame
High School, which is the only district site that has permanent lights.
Skelly said he expects the lights
will be installed in the fall, and the
issue will return to the board the following spring for an update on how
effectively the new technology is
being used.
Skelly though said district officials
are committed to monitoring the initiative as it moves forward, to ensure
the district is being a good neighbor.
We are very excited about this
project, he said. We understand
there is some nervousness on the part
of those who live directly around our
schools, in terms of how this will
affect their experiences and we hope
there is virtually no impact.
In other business, the board
approved a policy which ensures students living in the Sequoia Union
High School District will be able to
enroll at d.tech.
The Oracle Corporation campus in
Redwood Shores is located in the
Sequoia Union High School District
boundaries, and students living near
the future home of the charter are
expected to be interested in the
school once it opens.

NOTICE OF ORDINANCE ADOPTION

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City
of San Bruno, California (the City) at its regular meeting on,
Tuesday, December 8, 2015, at the Senior Center at 1555
Crystal Springs Road, starting at 7:00 p.m., held a public hearing, waived the first reading and introduced the following ordinance for adoption. Then at its next regular meeting on Tuesday, January 12, 2016, at the Senior Center starting at 7:00
p.m., 1555 Crystal Springs Road, San Bruno, the City Council
waived the second reading and adopted the following ordinance to approve the Medical/Office Use Project at 841 San
Bruno Avenue.
Waive Second Reading and Adopt an Ordinance
Amending Chapter 12.96.020 of Title 12 (Land Use)
of the San Bruno Municipal Code to Change from
Administrative and Research (A-R) District to Planned Development District (P-D) and to Adopt A Related District Development Plan To Establish Use
and Development Standards for Property Identified
as 841 San Bruno Avenue West.
The ordinance changes the Zoning District from the Administrative and Research (A-R) District to Planned Development
District (P-D) for the property identified as 841 San Bruno Avenue West. The Administrative and Research Zoning District
allows high quality light industrial areas, research facilities,
large-scale administrative offices, and professional medical offices in addition to ancillary personal service and business
uses. The uses proposed for the Planned Development District are similar to the A-R Zoning District and described as follows: Medical Office, Dental Office, Administrative, Professional and General Office, and Business Services, except services to buildings. The proposed uses and development standards for the subject property are in conformance with the applicable TOD land use designation in the General Plan and
Transit Corridors Plan (TCP) - El Camino Real Character
Area. The P-D Zoning District is being proposed to establish
development standards, e.g. setbacks, building heights, floor
area ratios (FAR) etc., for this property that are consistent with
the recently adopted Transit Corridors Plan Specific Plan that
now governs this site.
The subject property consists of two lots located on San Bruno
Avenue, west of El Camino Real. The approximately 30,710
square foot (0.71 acres) property is currently developed with a
10,000 square-foot, two-story office building and two surface
parking lots which would be removed and replaced with the
proposed project. The proposed 15,223 square foot medical
office building would be comprised of an 11,096 square foot
main/upper floor for a dialysis medical clinic and the 4,127
square foot lower floor would be office uses in support of the
clinic.
This ordinance goes into effect 30 days after adoption, which
will be Thursday, February 11, 2016. Please call (650) 6167038 with any questions.
A copy of the full text of proposed ordinance is available in the
City Clerks Office, 567 El Camino Real, in San Bruno, California.

Al-Qaida claims attack on

Burkina Faso hotel, cafe
By Brahima Ouedraogo
OUAGADOUGOU, Burkina Faso

Al-Qaida militants struck an upscale
hotel and nearby cafe late Friday that
are popular with Westerners in Burkina
Fasos capital, taking an unknown
number of hostages and forcing others
to hide for their lives as gunfire and
explosions rang out. Commandos used
explosives to storm the building five
hours later as other security forces
tried to remove casualties.
It was not immediately known how
many people may have been killed during the siege, though a survivor told
hospital director Robert Sangare he
estimated the toll could be as high as
20. At least 15 other people were seriously wounded by bullets and undergoing treatment at the Yalgado
Ouedraogo hospital, he said.
The local al-Qaida affiliate known as
AQIM claimed responsibility online
as the attack was ongoing in downtown Ouagadougou at the 147-room
Splendid Hotel, according to the SITE
Intelligence Group.
In a message posted in Arabic on the
militants Muslim Africa Telegram
account, it said fighters had broke
into a restaurant of one of the biggest
hotels in the capital of Burkina Faso,
and are now entrenched and the clashes
are continuing with the enemies of the
religion.
Witness Vital Nounagnon told the
AP that he saw four men wearing turbans attack the hotel and neighboring
Cappuccino Cafe about 7:30 p. m.
Another witness who gave only his

first name, Gilbert, said that when
Burkinabe security forces first arrived,
they turned around rather than confront
the attackers.
But we know that the gunmen wont
get out of the hotel alive, he said.
Our country is not for jihadists or terrorists. They got it wrong.
A man who works the day shift at the
Cappuccino Cafe, Alpha Ouedraogo,
had left just 90 minutes before the
attack began. He said he had been in
touch by phone with other employees
and that more than a dozen of them
were in hiding and awaiting rescue.
Burkina Faso, a largely Muslim
country, has been in turmoil since its
longtime president was ousted in a
popular uprising in late 2014. Last
September members of a presidential
guard launched a coup that lasted only

about a week. The transitional government returned to power until Burkina
Fasos November election ushered in
new leaders.
Fridays violence mirrored a devastating attack on the Radisson Blu
hotel in neighboring Mali back in
November that left 20 people dead. In
that case, Malian troops backed by
French and American special forces
swarmed in to retake the building and
free terrified guests and hotel staff during a siege that lasted more than seven
hours.
While Burkina Faso has largely been
spared from the violence carried out by
Islamic extremist groups in Mali, a
Romanian national was abducted last
April.
Around the world

One man brain dead, five others
hospitalized in French drug trial
PARIS One man was brain dead and three others faced
possible permanent brain damage after volunteering to take
part in a drug trial for a painkiller based on a natural brain
compound similar to the active ingredient in marijuana,
French authorities said Friday.
The Paris prosecutors office opened an investigation
into what French Health Minister Marisol Touraine called
an accident of exceptional gravity at a clinical trial lab in
the western French city of Rennes.
The trial involved 90 healthy volunteers who were given
the experimental drug in varying doses at different times,
she told reporters at a news conference in Rennes.
Six male volunteers between 28 and 49 years old have
since been hospitalized, including one man now classified
as brain dead, Touraine said, adding that the other 83 volunteers were being contacted.
Calling the case unprecedented, Touraine said she was
deeply moved by the suffering of the victims, who she
met with earlier Friday, along with their families. Well do
everything to understand what happened, she said. I dont
know of any other event like this.
The drug trial for the six hospitalized men began on Jan.
7 and was halted Monday, a day after the first volunteer fell
ill.
Chinese buying spree

accelerates with takeover of GE unit
BEIJING Haier Group, the worlds biggest home appliance maker, is buying General Electric Co.s appliance
business for $5.4 billion to expand its U.S. and global
presence.
The acquisition announced Friday comes as Haier tries to
transform itself into a premium brand. GE is shifting
emphasis from traditional businesses such as appliances, in
which it has been a prominent presence for more than a century, to higher-technology areas such as medical equipment
and clean energy.
The two companies also agreed to form a strategic partnership to cooperate in areas such as the Internet, healthcare, and advanced manufacturing. They said the sale is subject to regulatory and anti-trust approvals in relevant countries.
The purchase is the third in a string of multibillion-dollar
foreign acquisitions this week by Chinese buyers.
