Man arrested nine
months after hit-and-run
A man was arrested early Thursday morn-
ing, more than nine months after he
allegedly struck and seriously injured a
woman walking her dog in San Mateo last
March, police said.
The 59-year-old victim was hit in the area
of Edinburgh Street on the evening of
March 31.
A citizen had found the dog alone and
returned it to its home, unaware that the vic-
tim was unaccounted for. Her family then
went out and found her alone and seriously
injured from a collision with a vehicle,
police said.
The woman was taken to a hospital with
serious injuries and is continuing to recov-
er at home.
Evidence collected at the scene enabled
police to identify the suspect vehicle as a
2017 black Chevrolet Volt. After several
months of investigations and the inspec-
tion of more than 50 possible suspect vehi-
cles, officers were eventually able to locate
the vehicle allegedly involved, police said.
Thomas Pagnotta, 44, of San Mateo, was
arrested after officers executed a search war-
rant at his home on the 800 block of North

During the search, investigators also found
evidence of Pagnotta’s alleged attempts to
conceal the crime, according to police, who

was booked into San Mateo County Jail on
suspicion of felony hit-and-run and

Vacant Redwood City
lot to offer affordable unit
Who will step forward to develop a vacant
lot at 611 Heller St. in Redwood City’s
Stambaugh-Heller neighborhood is a ques-
tion officials are set to look at in the com-
ing months, according to Assistant City
Manager Aaron Aknin.
Aknin said a request for proposals for
developers of the lot is expected to go
before the City Council in early 2018 to
determine whether a developer acquires the
land to build a below-market-rate unit on it
or the city donates it to an affordable hous-
ing developer, which Aknin said are among
the options that could be considered for the
lot.
Due to nuisance issues with a house on the
Rain or Shine
lot some 10 years ago, the city purchased it
with redevelopment funds, said Aknin. He
said it’s been vacant for several years, and
noted that whoever builds on the lot will be
restricted to building affordable housing
there, which Aknin estimated would only
hold one or two units at most.
Aknin said the 611 Heller St. location and
another downtown lot where MidPen
Housing is planning to build a seven-story,
117 affordable apartment building at 707
Bradford St. are the only two of their kind in
the city’s inventory.
The Bradford Street apartments are
expected to be rented to low-income seniors
at affordable rents and the project will
include one manager’s unit, ground floor
commercial space slated for use as a child
care center and a publicly accessible creek-
side trail.
Aknin said outreach to the surrounding
neighborhood is expected to begin once the
RFP is developed.

paraphernalia and a gun after officers
stopped him for a traffic violation.
At about 11:40 p.m., officers pulled over
Tyler Marcic, 28, at the intersection of
Firecrest Avenue and Andover Drive.
During the stop, an officer allegedly saw a
glass bong and suspected concentrated
cannabis in the front passenger area while
Marcic’s two small children were sitting in
the backseat.
The officer later alleged that Marcic was
driving with a suspended license and he was
detained with handcuffs.
According to police, officers searched the
vehicle and found a loaded semi-automatic
handgun, an ecstasy pill, a bag containing
an unknown powder-like substance, another
bag of concentrated cannabis candy, mari-
juana and materials used in manufacturing
concentrated cannabis.
Marcic was arrested and his children were
released to a relative, police said.
Marcic was booked into the San Mateo
County Jail on suspicion of multiple
offenses including manufacturing a con-
trolled substance, possessing marijuana for
sale, transporting marijuana for sale, pos-
sessing a loaded gun in public, possessing
a large capacity magazine and child endan-
germent.

Trump-Bannon feud lays bare new fissure in fractious GOP

By Zeke Miller and Steve Peoples
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The acrimony surround-
ing former White House adviser Steve
Bannon’s very public break with President
Donald Trump escalated Thursday, suggest-
ing a permanent split between the president
and the pugilistic strategist who helped put
him in the Oval Office.
The new fissure in an already fractious
Republican Party cast doubt on Bannon’s
hopes to foment a movement centered on
“Trumpism without Trump.”
It already has cost him a key backer.
Rebekah Mercer, the billionaire GOP donor
and Breitbart co-owner, issued a statement
Thursday distancing her family from
Bannon.
“I support President Trump and the plat-
form upon which he was elected,” she said.
“My family and I have not communicated
with Steve Bannon in many months and
have provided no financial support to his
political agenda, nor do we support his
recent actions and statements.”
White House officials described the presi-
dent as furious at Bannon’s criticisms, laid
out in an explosive new book that quoted the
former aide as questioning Trump’s compe-
tence and describing a
June 2016 meeting at
Trump Tower between
Donald Trump Jr., Trump
campaign aides and a
Russian lawyer as “trea-
sonous” and “unpatriot-
ic.”
A parade of administra-
Donald Trump tion officials and allies
worked to discredit
Bannon as a disgruntled has-been. White
House press secretary Sarah Huckabee
Sanders went so far as to suggest that
Bannon ought to be booted from Breitbart,
the populist website he helps run.
“I certainly think that it’s something they
should look at and consider,” she said.
Bannon had helped Trump form a coalition
of anti-establishment Republicans, blue-
collar working class and economic national-
ists that launched him to the White House,
but Trump had long ago grown frustrated that

Not unlike Trump, Wolff loves a brawl and the spotlight

By Laurie Kellman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — He’s a provocateur
who’s said to love a brawl and once
bemoaned the glare of the spotlight — and
the bigger disappointment of watching it
move on.
“You think, well, what am I, chopped
liver?” author Michael Wolff said in 2009
about coverage of his divorce, according
to Women’s Wear Daily.
Obscurity is a threat to Wolff no longer.
His explosive new book on President
Donald Trump is drawn from what he said
was regular access to the
West Wing and more
than 200 interviews,
including with Trump. It
blew open what seems
an inevitable feud
between the publicity-
loving president and his
former adviser, Steve
Michael Wolff Bannon, who is quoted
extensively and unflat-
teringly describing Trump, his family and
advisers.
Shell-shocked White House aides scram-
bled to control the fallout of “Fire and
Fury: Inside the Trump White House” this
week as excerpts were published ahead of
the book’s scheduled Jan. 9 release. The
publisher announced late Thursday that it
would move up the release to Friday due to
“unprecedented demand.”
“Thank you, Mr. President,” Wolff tweet-
ed.
Trump tweeted late Thursday that Wolff’s
book was fiction and relied on fake
sources.
“I authorized Zero access to White House
(actually turned him down many times) for
author of phony book! I never spoke to
him for book. Full of lies, misrepresenta-
tions and sources that don’t exist. Look at
this guy’s past and watch what happens to
him and Sloppy Steve!” Trump wrote.
“Complete fantasy” is how White House
spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders
described Wolff’s book earlier Thursday, as
the president’s allies increasingly raised
questions about Wolff’s credibility.
Trump’s lawyers sent Wolff and his pub-
lisher cease and desist letters, as they had
to Bannon. The book, Sanders continued,
contains “mistake after mistake after mis-
take.” She said the White House had reject-
ed some two dozen of Wolff’s requests for
an interview with Trump.

Unintended consequences of our sanctuary state Predictions for 2018
Los Angeles Daily News
C
onsistent with campaign
promises, the first year of
Trump’s presidency saw a
noticeable uptick in immigration
enforcement — unfortunately, much
of it was against noncriminal undocu-
mented immigrants.
According to data released by the
U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement Agency last month, both
arrests and deportations of undocu-
mented immigrants without a criminal
conviction increased significantly
from prior years.
Of the 143,470 administrative
arrests made in fiscal year 2017, more
than one in four of those arrested did
not have a criminal conviction, with
10.8 percent not having any criminal
record at all. Notably, “at-large”
arrests, those which occur in the com-
munity, increased significantly —
from 30,348 in fiscal year 2016 to
40,066.
Additionally, whereas just 5,014 of
those deported from the interior of the
country in 2016 were people without
a criminal conviction, in 2017 that
number jumped to 13,744, according
to ICE.
“The president has made it clear in
his executive orders: There’s no popu-
lation off the table,” Thomas Homan,

Give personal
connection along with a meal
Editor,
This is not an original idea, but I
have had great interactions when
doing it and, in a small way, it helps
me practice accepting everyone as
they are. When doing your shopping
at your favorite supermarket, pick out
a few gift cards to keep in your wallet
for the next time you come across a
person in need. Instead of giving
them money, give them a meal, along
with respect and human interaction. It
only takes one or two minutes to ask
someone if they need anything, offer
them a gift card, ask them their name
and shake their hand. I usually have
on hand gift cards for local fast-food
establishments (such as Wendy’s,
Taco Bell, Burger King) where a per-
son can sit inside comfortably and
enjoy a meal. I often also have cards
for Safeway or Target, since basic
supplies like socks are often what’s
needed most.
I met the kindest man outside of
Safeway the other day. I think about
him often. When I approached him,
he just said he would like some spare

acting director of ICE explained at a
Dec. 5 news conference. “If you’re in
this country illegally, we’re looking
for you and we’re going to look to
apprehend you.”
This seems like a poor use of federal
resources. While the priority of immi-
gration enforcement continues, right-
ly, to be on removing people who
engage in criminal activity in the
U.S., the increased enforcement
against non-criminal immigrants
seems less likely to yield tangible
benefits to the American people.
Interestingly, Homan also pointed
out that “sanctuary” jurisdictions, in
attempting to curtail state and local
cooperation with federal immigration
officials, have actually made it more
likely that arrests of non-criminals
will occur.
Sanctuary policies limiting federal
immigration authorities’ access to
jails and prisons, according to
Homan, are merely pushing ICE to
step up “at-large” operations.
“Chances are, when we go to their
homes or places of business, we’re
going to find other illegal aliens that
weren’t even on our radar to begin
with — now they’re on our radar,”
Homan said, adding, “Sanctuary cities
change, but when I gave him the
choice of the three gift cards I had in
my wallet (Burger King, Safeway or
Wendy’s) his face lit up and he could
hardly decide on which one to
choose. I encourage you to join me in
this small way of giving the less for-
tunate in our communities a gift of
kindness, compassion and dignity.

Not in my name
Editor,
Those who know me know that I am
a big supporter of our president and
everything that he has done in his
first year. People have said that
diehard Trump supporters like me
would never admit one thing our pres-
ident did wrong and we are incapable
of being objective. Well, there is one
thing that president Trump has done
recently that is leaving me scratching
my head: stating that he would move
our embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
Why now? I take no sides with
either the Jewish people or the Arabs
in a fight that began shortly after

protecting their communities? No.
They put communities more at risk for
more arrests.”
At the very least, it is something
that supporters of sanctuary policies
should consider, especially in
California, where Senate Bill 54 was
recently enacted to limit state cooper-
ation with federal immigration offi-
cials. The law, which was built up
over the course of a year primarily as
a show of some California lawmakers’
resistance to the Trump administra-
tion, could end up putting many non-
criminal undocumented immigrants at
risk of being caught up in immigra-
tion enforcement efforts.
That would be the sort of unintended
consequence that on balance would
benefit no one — those in support of
creating a pathway for non-criminal
undocumented immigrants to stay and
those who want the focus to be on
criminals alike would have their wish-
es thwarted for little more than politi-
cal gamesmanship.
While the Congress sorts out its
game of chicken on immigration, par-
ticularly DACA and the border wall,
close attention should be paid to the
effects of sanctuary policies on elicit-
ing greater enforcement against non-
criminals. We also encourage priori-
tizing serious and violent criminals
for immigration enforcement efforts.
Israel declared itself a state in 1948.
Since that time, there has never been
real peace and my country seems to
find itself in the middle of the conflict
every time. To use the old expression,
America does not have a dog in this
fight. Since the pronouncement of the
new policy regarding the location of
our embassy, all hell has broken out
once again both in the region and
internationally. Why was this even
necessary? Now, Nikki Haley, our
U.S. ambassador to the United
Nations, threatened the international
body to take names and punish those
countries condemning President
Trump’s decision. Most Americans I
know want peace in the region and
have spent money and decades of
diplomacy trying to find that peace.
How these moves help in that goal
is beyond me and I don’t see how this
makes our country greater or safer. We
do not want to be an enemy of either
side, let’s remember that.

T
he book on 2017 is firmly closed and we are fully
immersed in New Year’s greetings for at least
another few weeks. While many suggest 2017 was
unpredictable, I will try my best to make a few predictions
for 2018.
First, a bit of non-news that became news: U.S. Rep.
Jackie Speier will not be running for governor, though
the rumor that she might certainly caused a stir this holi-
day weekend. Speier let it be known she was not running
this week, butonly after a few days of the rumor simmer-
ing across the political world. Traveling across the coun-
try to D.C. is a grind, and Speier has lots of experience in
state government, but a run for governor will not be. Had
she entered the race, it would have made it more interest-
ing. But it also would cause a tremendous jostling for
positions among the county’s political family for her
congressional seat, which she would have to vacate to
run.
Next, what will continue:
New construction will remain,
however, I had predicted 2017
would see a slowdown. There
just seems to be money to be
made still and an appetite for
new buildings — at least by
developers. I foresee a further
move toward housing instead
of offices because there is a
growing realization that the
primary factor in the
jobs/housing imbalance is
that there are too many jobs
being created and not enough
housing. But there seems to
be growing consternation
about the amount of any new development and its cumula-
tive impact.
Case in point is the Passage at San Mateo development
proposal at the corner of South Delaware Street and
Concar Drive just north of State Route 92. The 935-unit
housing development with retail fits into the city’s rail
corridor plan passed years ago, but is definitely pressing
all the buttons for neighborhood opposition considering
the amount of construction the area has recently seen.
My prediction is that this proposal will have a difficult
public planning process that will have to be managed well
by both the city and the developer. The Bay Meadows spe-
cific plan and the citizens advisory committee that formed
to facilitate both it and the rail corridor plan was a years-
long process and although one could argue the heavy lift-
ing on changing the area’s zoning was already done, it’s
been a while and new outreach and community input may
be required. It seems to be a microcosm of the existential
crisis this area is feeling as it contends with growth,
changing character and the rising need for housing for
new residents and the conflicts that arise amid it all.
The rising cost of living and doing business in this area
will also be a factor as middle-class residents feel the
pinch and consider leaving. Look for more mom-and-pop
businesses to also call it quits as the cost of doing busi-
ness rises in this area. Whether that is good or bad is up
to you, but don’t be surprised when seemingly successful
businesses that provide essential services decide it just
doesn’t pencil out anymore because of the rising costs of
doing business and new government mandates.
Transportation will be another hot topic, as it was this
year, but look for local transit officials to really lay it on
thick about the need for a new sales tax to fund improve-
ments though those specific improvements have yet to be
identified.
Belmont Councilman Charles Stone was just named
chair of SamTrans so look for him to talk about “disrupt-
ing traffic congestion” several thousand times this year as
this is a phrase he delights in employing. It has been
floated that Stone is laying the groundwork for a future run
for the Board of Supervisors so this new position pro-
vides him some prominence. Let’s hope SamTrans figures
out some specifics before asking for money, however. I
predict they will.
I also predict that as more elected officials take to social
media, which is perfect for their ego and need to expound
and exhibit, the feedback loop will move them more to
the progressive left since the voices on social media tend
to skew that way — at least around here.
So those are my general predictions. If you have any of
your own, please let me know. I’m always interested.
***
And since we are on the subject of the new year, I
thought I’d share my resolution. I’m aiming to get home
15 minutes earlier than I typically do (h/t Jason Zweig). It
will be a challenge but well worth it since it will give me
about 60 extra hours this year with my family. I also like
the idea of letter writer Sonja Davenport (see her letter on
this page) of keeping gift cards on hand to give out to
those in need. What’s yours?

Dow climbs above 25,000 for the first time

By Marley Jay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The Dow Jones
industrial average burst through
the 25,000 point mark Thursday,
just five weeks after its first close
above 24,000.
The Dow passed five 1, 000-
point barriers in 2017 on its way
to a 25 percent gain for the year,
as an eight-year rally since the
Great Recession continued to con-
found skeptics.
Strong global economic growth
and good prospects for higher
company earnings have analysts
predicting more gains, although
the market may not stay as calm
as it has been recently.
The Dow has made a rapid trip
from 24,000 points on November
30, partly on enthusiasm over
passage of the Republican-backed
tax package, which could boost
company profits this year with
across-the-board cuts to corporate
taxes.
“For a long while in 2017 I
would say the biggest driver was
excitement and anticipation over
tax reform, but at a certain point I
think there was a handover to
global economic growth really
helping to carry the stock mar-
ket,” said Invesco Chief Global
Markets Strategist Kristina
Hooper.
Big gains in U. S. blue chip

Wall Street’s love of tax cuts drives Dow to 25,000 mark

By Christoper Rugaber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Wall Street
sure loves the tax bill, even if polls
show most Americans don’t.
The Dow Jones industrial aver-
age surged past 25,000 Thursday, a
strong signal of investor enthusi-
asm for President Donald Trump’s
$1.5 trillion tax cut. The milestone
comes less than a year after the
Dow topped 20,000.
“We broke a very, very big barri-
er,” Trump said Thursday at the
White House. “Every time you see
that number go up on Wall Street it
means jobs, it means success, it
means 401(k)s that are flourish-
ing.”
It’s easy to see why investors
like the tax overhaul: Businesses
will benefit from a steep cut in the
corporate tax rate. They’ll also be
able to fully deduct the cost of
major purchases from their taxable
income, reducing the amount they
owe. And companies with large
stockpiles of cash overseas can
bring the money back to the United
States at new, lower rates.
All told, Wall Street analysts
estimate the tax package should
boost earnings for companies in
the Standard & Poor’s 500 index by
roughly 8 percent this year. That’s
much more generous than the aver-
age tax cut of 1.6 percent that mid-
dle-class families will receive,
according to the Tax Policy Center.
“All else being equal, this should
go straight to the bottom line,”
said David Joy, chief market strate-
gist for Ameriprise Financial, a
financial services company based
in Minneapolis. Improved corpo-
rate profits contributed to the mar-
ket’s gains last year.
The public has been less enthusi-
astic about the tax law. A
Monmouth University poll last
month found that nearly half of
Americans disapproved of it, with
only 26 percent in support.
Still, some workers have seen a
benefit: So far, nearly 20 large
companies have announced bonus-
es and higher minimum wages as a
result of the tax cut. AT&T,
Comcast, Bank of America, and
American Airlines have all pledged
to pay $1,000 bonuses to their
employees.
Investors also appear less con-
cerned than many politicians about
how the additional profits will be
used. The Trump administration
says it expects companies will
plow much of the extra profit back
into their businesses, purchasing
more software, machinery, and
other equipment. Those invest-
ments will make workers more pro-
ductive and provide a key boost to
the economy’s long-run growth.
They should also boost wages and
salaries for employees.
Opponents of the tax law
respond that companies are more
likely to pass the windfall on to
shareholders in the form of higher
dividend payments and share buy-
backs, which raise the price of
those shares still in investors’
hands.

Intel CEO sold shares before Business briefs

chip security flaw disclosed
SANTA CLARA — Intel’s CEO sold shares
in his company several months after
Google informed the chipmaker of a serious
security problem affecting its products.
CEO Brian Krzanich sold about $39 mil-
lion in stocks and options in late
November, before the security vulnerability
was publicly known. Intel says it was noti-
fied about the bugs in June.
The company didn’t respond to inquiries
about the timing of Krzanich’s divestments,
but a spokeswoman told MarketWatch it was
unrelated to the security flaws.
GBH Insights Chief Strategy Analyst
Daniel Ives says Krzanich’s stock sale was
“cookie cutter” and not a concern.
Krzanich made about $25 million in prof-
its, before taxes, from the sale, which was
disclosed in government filings made at the
time. The sale allowed Krzanich to whittle
his holdings down to about 250,000 shares,
the minimum he is required to own under
Intel’s rules.
Intel said it has worked with other compa-
nies to verify the vulnerability and develop
ways to fix or mitigate it. It said it planned
to publicly disclose the problem next week.
It was forced to address it earlier because of a
Wednesday news report.
Facebook CEO’s 2018
challenge: Fix Facebook
NEW YORK — Mark Zuckerberg says his
“personal challenge” for 2018 is to fix
Facebook.
The Facebook CEO has declared a goal
each year since 2009. Past challenges have
included wearing a tie every day, learning to
speak Mandarin and eating meat only from
animals he killed himself. Last year, he vis-
ited every U.S. state he hadn’t been to yet.
This year, though, his challenge is direct-
ed at his company rather than personal
ambitions. Zuckerberg wrote Thursday that
he wants to focus this year on protecting
Facebook users from abuse, defending
against interference by nation-states and
“making sure that time spent on Facebook
is time well spent.”
In other words, he wants to do his job as
Facebook’s CEO.
“This may not seem like a personal chal-
lenge on its face, but I think I’ll learn more
by focusing intensely on these issues than I
would by doing something completely sep-
arate,” Zuckerberg wrote.
Hyundai, VW, ink deals with
all-star autonomous vehicle firm
DETROIT — Hyundai and Volkswagen
each say they’re partnering with a U.S.
autonomous vehicle tech firm led by former
executives from Google, Tesla and Uber.
The companies on Thursday announced
partnerships with Aurora Innovation, start-
ed last year by ex-Google autonomous car
chief Chris Urmson and others.
VW says its collaboration will help bring
self-driving cars quickly to roads worldwide,
while autonomous Hyundais are expected to
be in the market by 2021.
The partnerships are the latest in a string
of tie-ups between traditional auto compa-
nies and tech firms as they race to be first
with self-driving vehicles.
Aurora is based in Pittsburgh and Palo
Alto.

Iran blames CIA for week of
protests; U.S. denies any role
By Nasser Karimi
and Jon Gambrell
THEASSOCIATED PRESS
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran on Thursday
directly blamed a CIA official for a
week of protests calling for the over-
throw of the Islamic Republic, as the
strength of the demonstrations was
uncertain with fewer reports of ral-
lies.
The Trump administration has denied
having any hand in the protests, and
the CIA declined to comment.
It wasn’t immediately clear if the
drop in reports of new demonstra-
tions challenging Iran’s theocratic
government meant the protests were
subsiding or that the authorities’

Trump and GOP senators talk immigration
By Jill Colvin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Donald
Trump said so-called chain migration
provides “a gateway for terrorism”
Thursday as he sat down with a handful
of Republican senators to talk immi-
gration.
Lawmakers have been trying to ham-
mer out a deal on how to extend legal
status for hundreds of thousands of
young immigrants who were brought

offering new images of rallies.
The demonstrations, which began
Dec. 28 over the country’s struggling
economy, have been the largest in Iran
since the disputed 2009 presidential
election. At least 21 people have been
killed and hundreds arrested.
The CIA accusation came from Iran’s
prosecutor general, Mohammad Jafar
Montazeri, in a story by the state-run
IRNA news agency. Montazeri alleged
the official headed an operation that
received intelligence support from
Israel and financing from Saudi Arabia
— Iran’s two biggest regional adver-
saries.
Montazeri said the CIA official
sought help from exiled Iranian
groups and prepared for various sce-
narios that included protesting the
high cost of living and financial
to the country illegally as children and
had been protected from deportation
by the Obama-era Deferred Action for
Childhood Arrivals program.
Trump announced he would be ending
the program last year, but gave
Congress a March deadline to come up
with a legislative fix.
Trump said Thursday that any deal he
signs will need to include funding for
his border wall, more money for immi-
gration enforcement, an overhaul of
the family-based immigration system
and an end to the diversity visa lottery.

demands on the elderly.
The plot focused on fomenting dis-
sent from the countryside to shake
Tehran, Montazeri said. He alleged the
CIA planned to turn the protest into an
“armed” insurrection by mid-February,
the anniversary of the 1979 Islamic
Revolution.
The Associated Press is not publish-
ing identifying details about the CIA
official because the official may be an
agent of its clandestine service.
A senior Trump administration offi-
cial on Wednesday disputed the notion
that the U.S. played any role in the
protests, saying it had not expected
them to occur.
“The protests were entirely sponta-
neously generated,” said the official,
who spoke on condition of anonymity
to discuss intelligence matters.
Trump told the lawmakers that he
would “love to take care of DACA, but
we’re only going to do it under these
conditions.”
“Chain migration is a total disaster
which threatens our security and our
economy and provides a gateway for
terrorism,” he said, referring to the
current system that allows many immi-
grants to sponsor their extended fami-
ly members.
Trump also said he hoped the over-
haul will attract Democratic support.

Trump had lawyer urge AG against Russia recusal
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump directed his
White House counsel to tell Attorney General Jeff Sessions
to not recuse himself from the Justice Department’s inves-
tigation into potential ties between Russia and the Trump
campaign, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The conversation between Don McGahn, the president’s
White House counsel, and Sessions took place on the pres-
ident’s orders and occurred just before the attorney general
announced that he would step aside from the ongoing
inquiry into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential
election, according to a person with knowledge of the inter-
action. Two other people confirmed details of the conversa-
tion between McGahn and Sessions.
All three people spoke on condition of anonymity to the
Associated Press to avoid publicly discussing an ongoing
investigation.
The episode is known to special counsel Robert Mueller
and his team of prosecutors and is likely of interest to them
as they look into whether Trump’s actions as president,
including the May firing of FBI Director James Comey,
amount to improper efforts to obstruct the Russia investi-
gation. Investigators recently concluded a round of inter-
views with current and former White House officials, includ-
ing McGahn and former White House chief of staff Reince
Priebus.
The New York Times first reported that Trump had McGahn
lobby Sessions against a recusal.
Three cars on Amtrak train
with 311 passengers derail, none hurt
SAVANNAH, Ga. — Three cars on an Amtrak train carry-
ing more than 300 passengers on a route from Miami to
New York derailed in snow-covered Savannah after a fierce
winter storm, but no injuries were reported.
Amtrak spokesman Jason Abrams said Silver Meteor
train 98 was backing slowly into the Savannah station
about 10 p.m. Wednesday — hours after the storm clobbered
the Southeast coast — when two sleeper cars and a baggage
car derailed.
“All three cars — a baggage car and two sleeper cars — are
fully upright,” Abrams said in an email statement early
Thursday to the Associated Press.
He said there were 311 passengers on board, in addition to
crew, but he had no reports of anyone hurt.
Abrams’ statement said the main train was to continue its
journey north though some of the sleeping car passengers
had to be put aboard a different train.
He didn’t say what caused the derailment, and the state-
ment also gave no immediate indication whether the storm
that coated Savannah with a rare snowfall on Wednesday
was a factor.
Luck of the draw helps

Delegates race by luck of the draw, having his name chosen

But inside a conference room in Richmond’s Capitol
Square, where the drawing was held, it was all agony of
defeat and no joy of victory. That’s because Republican
David Yancey skipped the drawing, while Democratic chal-
lenger Shelley Simonds and many of her supporters
absorbed it in stunned silence.

At least 18 killed, about 260 injured in South Africa train crash

By Christopher Torchia
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JOHANNESBURG — A passenger train
carrying people home after the holidays
slammed into a truck in rural South Africa
on Thursday, killing at least 18 people and
injuring about 260 others, authorities said.
Officials said the truck driver allegedly
tried to cross the tracks just ahead of the
oncoming train, part of which burst into
flames after the collision, trapping some
passengers in carriages. Those who were
able to escape with their luggage hurriedly
dragged bags from the smoking wreck to a
nearby road.
“The truck driver was taking chances. He
thought that he was going to pass through,”
Transport Minister Joe Maswanganyi told
REUTERS journalists. “Little did he know that the

Some of the dead were badly burned, said
Mthuthuzeli Swartz, acting CEO of the
state-owned passenger rail agency.
The train with 429 passengers aboard had
been traveling from Port Elizabeth to the
country’s commercial hub, Johannesburg.
Video showed part of the Shosholoza
Meyl train in flames after the collision that
occurred between the communities of
Hennenman and Kroonstad in Free State
province. The crash derailed half a dozen
carriages, and power lines were damaged. A
large vehicle was upside down beside a train
carriage that appeared to have partly
crushed another, smaller vehicle.
The truck driver emerged unscathed and
the train driver and his assistant suffered
minor injuries, Swartz said.
He told local media outlet eNCA that the
truck towing two trailers was halfway
across the track when it was hit by the train
and dragged for 400 meters (1,300 feet).

Aragon superstar
leaving her mark
among the greats
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
When Emma Madgic arrived at
Aragon, she had a tough choice to
make.
Because of a Peninsula Athletic
League rule limiting its athletes to
playing one sport per season,
Madgic had to weight her lifelong
passion for swimming against the
prospect of excelling at track and
field as a distance runner. Swimming
was her favorite. Being as she had a
foothold in the water on the club
swimming circuit, though, she opted
to go the track route in high school.
This choice came much to the
delight of Aragon cross-country and
track distance coach Frank Hunt.
“I’m glad she picked running,”
Hunt said. “I’m sure the swim coach
at Aragon is sad she didn’t pick
swimming. If it was allowed she
could do two sports, she’d be swim-
ming as well.”
Now just midway through her jun-
ior year, Madgic is racking up the
accolades. And being named Daily
Journal Girls’ Cross Country Runner
of the Year just adds to an already
impressive resume.

Menlo’s Superman

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Just call him Menlo cross-coun-
try’s comeback kid.
Through his four years blazing
trails on the local varsity circuit,
Menlo’s Robert Miranda has been
more synonymous with the sport
of cross country than anyone in
San Mateo County. Two years ago
as a sophomore, he was honored as
the Daily Journal’s top boys’ run-
ner of the year. And while it took
him two years to climb back on
top, the senior distance extraordi-
naire has again earned Daily
Journal Boys’ Cross-Country
Runner of the Year honors.
After being sidelined last season
with a leg injury, Miranda hit the
ground running in 2017, fearless-
ly attacking courses statewide
while not missing a high school
affiliated race. He claimed West
Bay Athletic League and Central
Coast Section Division IV titles in
the process, and even recorded a

NDB adjusts, tops Terra Nova

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
All Olga Faasolo could do was
watch as Terra Nova’s 6-5 Kenady
Armstrong had her way with her
more diminutive Notre Dame-
Belmont opponents in the first
quarter of a non-league game in
Belmont Thursday.
Armstrong, who was literally
head and shoulders taller than the
players tasked with guarding her,
was virtually unstoppable once
Terra Nova dumped the ball into
the post.
But all Faasolo, NDB’s 6-1 post
player, could do was watch. She
missed practice Wednesday
because of a family emergency and
team rules dictate she sit out the
first quarter.
“I really wanted to get in. But if I
wasn’t, I might as well help on the
bench,” Faasolo said.
Fassolo was her team’s biggest
cheerleader even as Armstrong
scored eight points and pulled
down nine rebounds in the first
eight minutes.
Faasolo took the floor to start
the second period and turned the
tide of the game. She more or less
shut down Armstrong the rest of
the way as NDB rallied from an
early first-quarter deficit to pull
away at the end for a 54-34 win.
“This was a good pre-league test
for us,” said NDB coach Josh
Davenport. “The kids handled the
relentless onslaught at the outset.”
NDB (7-3 overall) did not look
ready to match the intensity Terra
Nova (7-2) started the game with
as Terra Nova jumped out to a 9-2
lead, mostly on the shoulders of
Armstrong, who struggled with her
shot, but made up for by simply
grabbing her own rebounds and
shooting again. After Venus
Pascua drained a 3-pointer to open
the scoring, Armstrong score the
final eight points of the quarter for
Terra Nova.
“[Armstrong] created so many
problems for us,” Davenport said.
Once Faasolo came in, the
momentum swung to NDB. On
Terra Nova’s first entry pass to
Armstrong in the second quarter,
Faasolo slapped the ball away for a
steal. She did it a second time and
then a third.
Faasolo would end up five steals
to go along with 11 points, six
rebounds and a block.
“I wasn’t afraid of her, but she
was really big,” Faasolo said. “I
just had to make it harder for her.”
Faasolo did just that as
Armstrong managed just five
points over the final three quarters
and just two more rebounds.
Faasolo was so dominant
against the Terra Nova post that
Terra Nova got out of its game plan
and stopped trying to go to her.
“We didn’t play the way we
should be playing. We can play
better than that,” said Terra Nova
head coach Kawann Summerville.
“I felt we were a little scared to let
[Armstrong] do what she can do. I
think the confidence level on
entry passes wasn’t there.”
With Faasolo taking care of
Armstrong, it opened up the court
for the rest of her NDB teammates.
After the early 9-2 deficit, NDB
got into a rhythm and had closed
the gap to 11-10 by the end of the
first quarter.
NDB used that momentum to go
on a 5-0 run to open the second
period to take a 15-10 lead and led
18-16 at halftime.
Terra Nova used a pair of Kapua
Wong Hin free throws to tie the
score at 18 and a bucket from Numi
Saini to knot the score at 20 with
6:07 left in the third before NDB
went on a game-controlling 19-0
run to take a commanding 39-20
after three quarters.
Terra Nova did not crater, howev-
er, as it started to claw its way back
into the game as it opened the final
eight minutes with a 9-1 run. When
Saini scored on a putback with
5:16 to play, Terra Nova trailed by
just 11, 40-29.
“In the fourth quarter, the start-
ing five wasn’t playing good
enough so I brought in some fresh
legs,” Summerville said. “We just
couldn’t finish.” NATHAN MOLLAT/DAILY JOURNAL

Plenty of teams with not-so-Super pedigrees

By Paul Newberry
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Atlanta
Falcons’ claim to fame is the crushing way
they lost a Super Bowl.
They’re hardly alone in these playoffs.
Seven of the 12 teams still alive have
never celebrated in the big game, matching
the largest group of playoff-bound squads
with not-so-Super pedigrees since the 1999
season.
Will that lack of championship-winning
experience prove costly?
If you’re on a team that hasn’t won a ring,
it’s only natural to just shrug it off as a
meaningless anomaly.
“It’s right here, right now, ” Falcons
defensive end Adrian Clayborn said
Thursday. “What’s in the past doesn’t mat-
ter.”
But there’s no denying that six-time
champion Pittsburgh and five-time winner
New England — the defending champ, as
well — are the only true blue bloods in this
field.
The Falcons have lost both of their Super
Bowl appearances, including last season’s
34-28 overtime defeat in which Tom Brady
and the Patriots stunningly rallied from a
25-point deficit in the second half . The
There’s no denying that six-time champion Pittsburgh
and five-time winner New England — the defending champ,
as well — are the only true blue bloods in this field.
NFC’s top seed, the Philadelphia Eagles, is
also 0-2 in the Super Bowl, as are the
Carolina Panthers.
Buffalo and Minnesota are the only fran-
chises to lose four times in the big game
without a title, and the Bills, of course, are
the lone team to suffer that fate in four
straight years. The Tennessee Titans (who
began their existence as the Houston Oilers)
came up short in their lone Super Bowl try.
Jacksonville has never been to the title
game at all .
Jaguars owner Shad Khan said it’s good to
have a bunch of teams chasing their first
crown.
He noted the huge demand for tickets in
attendance-challenged Jacksonville, where
the Jags are hosting the Bills in a matchup
of teams that broke long playoff droughts
this season.
“Could you imagine the hottest ticket in
football is right here, selling for five, six
times face value?” Khan said. “Our cheapest
ticket is 300 bucks, standing room. Could
you believe that happening in freaking
Jacksonville?”
Kansas City, New Orleans and the Los
Angeles Rams have only one title apiece,
though the latter’s came during their two-
decade-long stint in St. Louis. The Chiefs
reached two of the first four Super Bowls,
winning it all in 1970, but they haven’t
been back since. The Saints won their lone
Super Bowl appearance during the 2009 sea-
son.
“Once you get in, it’s wide open for any-
body,” insisted Tennessee linebacker Brian
Orakpo, a nine-year veteran who will play
his first playoff game Saturday against the
Chiefs. “Yeah, the Patriots and Steelers
have a lot of pedigree, a lot of tradition, and
you’ve got some young up-and-comers like
ourselves that are hungry.”
Since the NFL went to a 12-team postsea-
son format in 1990, the largest group of
playoff teams without a Super Bowl title on
their resume came 18 seasons ago. Kurt
Warner and the high-flying Rams were
among eight squads that had never won the
championship until they held off Tennessee
in the title game, memorably stopping the
Titans’ final play at the 1-yard line.
The only other times that the current
playoff structure included as many as seven
non-Super Bowl-winning teams were 2008
and 1996.
When it comes to postseason neophytes,
the Bills are drawing much of the attention
after reaching the playoffs for the first time
since 1999 , snapping the longest dry spell
in any of the four major professional
sports. But Buffalo it still known for that
unprecedented four-year run of futility in the
Super Bowl, which began in 1991 with
Scott Norwood missing a potential game-
winning field goal in the final seconds and
was followed by three straight double-digit
blowouts.
“It’s time to create some other memories
of the Bills,” Thurman Thomas, the Hall of
Fame running back on those Super Bowl-
losing teams, told The Associated Press.
“It’s not the squad that went to the four
straight Super Bowls. It’s somebody else.”
The Vikings were the first franchise to
lose four Super Bowls, accomplishing that
ignominious feat in an eight-year span that
ended in 1976. They haven’t gotten that far
again, losing five times in the NFC champi-
onship game, most recently during the
2000 season.

Chen takes men’s short program, Knierims win pairs short

By Barry Wilner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JOSE — A downer of a practice led to
some soaring skating and jumping for Nathan
Chen.
Chen made it look easy on the ice and in the
standings Thursday night, running away with
the short program at the U.S. Figure Skating
Championships. His winning performance
came one day after “my mind was not in the
right place.”
Pretty much everything was in the right
place when it needed to be.
The defending champion and America’s best
hope for an Olympic gold medal next month at
the Pyeongchang Games, the 18-year-old
Chen spun his usual quad magic, hitting two of
the four-rotation jumps, one in competition.
His energy lit up the SAP Center, and though
his triple axel was funky, Chen earned 104.45
points.
That’s territory none of his countrymen can
reach.
“I try to just make sure that I’m in my zone
every competition,” he said. “I’ll always get
nervous regardless of how big or small the
competition is. I definitely feel the energy is
different than last year (being an Olympic
year). Ultimately, I have to do what I set out to
do and focus on my new goals.”
Coming closest to Chen was veteran Adam
Rippon, who had a career-best 96.52.
“I am waiting for my day of reckoning,
which is Saturday,” Rippon said. “It’s the one-
year anniversary of breaking my foot. I am
here for that drama and ... I told myself I was
going to give every single individual element
my total focus, and I did that.”
Jason Brown, a 2014 team bronze medalist
at the Sochi Olympics, was third heading to
Saturday’s free skate at 93.23.
Grant Hochstein put on the performance of
his life, nailing every element to wind up
fourth at 92.18. Hochstein included a quadruple
toe loop-triple toe at the outset. His spins were
precise, his footwork smooth, and by the con-
clusion of his 2-minute, 40-second routine,
he’d drawn the first standing ovation of the
competition.
When his 92.18 shattered his previous best
short program by nearly 11 points, the crowd
roared again.
Rippon, at 28 the oldest entry in the men’s
event, radiated energy all over the rink, partic-
ularly with his expressive footwork and spins.
With the crowd clapping along to the 2016
national champion’s every move, Rippon was
ecstatic even before he saw his 96.52 score.
Brown didn’t need a quad because of his clas-
sical body lines, speed and solid interpretation
of his music, “The Room Where It Happens,”
from “Hamilton.” One of the more popular
American skaters, Brown’s high marks drew a
loud ovation to end the night.
“I had a blast out there,” Brown said. “It was
really cool skating after Adam, the crowd was
so insane and I was able to feed off that ener-
gy.”
Vincent Zhou, the only American who
comes close to the stratosphere Chen works
in, leaped above the sideboards for his quad
lutz-triple toe loop to open a difficult program.
He also did a quad flip, only to crash on the
triple axel — hardly an easy jump, of course.
The 17-year-old Zhou looked anguished
when he saw an 89.02 for fifth place.
Afterward, however, he expressed pleasure
with the evening.
“I gave a good performance out there,” Zhou
said. “I did a nice quad. Triple axel was a really
stupid mistake. I just got kind of way into the
program, I had too good of a flow, so I stepped
really far over to the left. But other than that I
think it was great.”
Three-time U.S runner-up Ross Miner,
another veteran of the ice wars, also came
through with a top-notch showing. But lack-
ing a quad, his 88.91 got him sixth place.
Earlier, Chris Knierim and wife Alexa
Scimeca-Knierim won the short program for
pairs.
When he stumbled just before a key element
in their short program, Chris Knierim didn’t
lose his perspective. While talking about it,
he didn’t lose his sense of humor.
“She tried to trip me,” he joked.
“It was a pretty close call,” his wife said. “I
cut a hole in his pants. I did nick it.”
They also stood atop the field heading into
Saturday’s free skate for the one pairs spot the
United States gets at the Pyeongchang
Olympics.

MIRANDA
Continued from page 13
“It’s my last cross-country season and
cross country is really why I started run-
ning,” Miranda said of returning from last
year’s injury. “I was more about enjoying it,
enjoying the team. So having fast times as
well was just a big plus.”
While he succeeded at returning to full
strength during the regular season, an
unforeseen illness cut his season short.
Miranda’s game plan heading into the year
was to peak in the postseason, looking to
make a run at a state championship and qual-
ifying for the Footlocker West Regionals
and even Nationals.
Contracting a stomach virus on
Thanksgiving though, Miranda was a retch-
ing mess some 24 hours later. And the fol-
lowing day, Saturday, Nov. 25 at Fresno’s
Woodward Park, he insisted on competing
in the state finals. And while he didn’t come
close to the personal record of 15:40.2 he
set on the course as a sophomore — good

Aragon runner — along with Lauren

With her CCS bronze medal, Madgic was
also the top non-senior finisher. So, fit-
tingly, she earned the prestigious honor as
the CCS Junior Runner of the Year.
“To be named the Junior of the Year in
CCS … think about all the runners in the
CCS,” Hunt said. “That’s a pretty good
group. … So, yes, that’s a pretty nice
achievement.”
With CCS gold medalist Serena Myjer of

for ninth place in the Division IV race and
the top time of any underclassman — this
year’s gritty high school swan song, at a
time of 15:53.4, still earned him a Division
IV bronze medal for his third-place finish.
“What makes him stand out is he really is
an ambassador to the sport,” Menlo head
coach Jorge Chen said. “He is literally a kid
who gives it all. He left everything on that
Woodward Park state course. He left every-
thing there, literally. He actually threw up
on the course.”
Miranda actually led for the first two
miles of the three-mile race but faded at the
end, citing uncharacteristic fatigue due to
the illness. Where Chen recognized the
extent of the illness was after his prize
pupil crossed the finish line, though, during
which Miranda was in a state of delirium.
Chen said he could tell because Miranda did-
n’t engage in his usual post-race ritual, a
courtesy he extended to his fellow competi-
tors in every previous race this season.
“He doesn’t even cool down,” Chen said
of Miranda’s post-race graciousness. “He
turns around to shake all the other kids’
hands, kids he doesn’t even know. And
that’s all him. I didn’t tell him to do that.
“I definitely think I have a chance, espe-
cially with the two people who beat me
being seniors, to be a CCS champion next
year,” Madgic said. “But I know I can’t take
that for granted.”
If she works as hard as she did in earning
bronze this season, going gold stands as a
very attainable goal. Although, at the Nov.
11 race at Toro Park in Salinas, Madgic
nearly saw the bronze slip away when
Presentation senior Paige Comiso went rac-
ing past her with a half mile to go.
At the time, Madgic wasn’t sure she could
make up the ground. But she kept Komiso in
her sights. Then, some keen pre-race scout-
ing and a good, old-fashioned runner’s kick
of adrenaline inside the last quarter mile
allowed the Aragon superstar to overtake
third place.
“I was exhausted so I just let her go,”
Madgic said. “I was really hurting. But
going into the last 300 (meters), there’s a
playground just before the finish we had
tracked before ... so started to sprint from
there.”
Prior to the race, Madgic and her team-
mates effectively scouted the course at Toro
Park. And the small playground of a swing
set and slide, just to the right of the course’s
final straightaway, seemed a reliable sign-
post. Using the GPS on her watch, Madgic
There is not kid that loves the sport as much
as he does … and that’s why he’s so suc-
cessful.”
Miranda is one in a line of a great legacy
of distance runners who have donned the
Menlo blue-and-gold in recent years. In
2014, Elizabeth Lacy earned the CCS
Division girls’ championship before mov-
ing on to Tufts University. Miranda is slat-
ed to run cross-country and track at Yale
University next season. And this season,
the future arrived early in the form of fresh-
man Kamran Murray, who finished 17th
overall at in the Division IV state champi-
onship race, including the best time among
freshmen.
In addition to Miranda and Murray earning
berths in the state championship, the
Menlo girls’ team advanced to Woodward
Park as well by virtue of its second-place
finish at the CCS finals. What makes the
accomplishment even more harrowing is
the girls’ team of Kyra Pretre, Charlotte
Tomkinson, Marisa Castagna, Gabby
Kogler, Katie Aufricht, Amanda Foster and
Cameron Boom are — like Murray — all
underclassmen.
“I’ve got say, leaving Menlo and leaving
measured the distance from the playground
to the finish line at 300 meters.
With this, while bearing down at
Comiso’s back nearing the homestretch,
she was able to map precisely how much
distance she could make up. Then there was
the motivational factor — a voice in the
back of Madgic’s head, if you will. Also
prior to the race, the junior team leader of
the Lady Dons took it upon herself to give a
pre-race speech. The theme of her pep talk?
Leave everything you’ve got on the course
as to not let down the team.
“I had told everyone so I didn’t want to be
a hypocrite,” Madgic said.
Fatigued as she was, Madgic focused on
staying light on her feet. And while, yes,
she is a dedicated distance runner, she
chased down Comiso with a sprinter’s burst,
passing her opponent with 200 meters to
go and holding her off to the finish, taking
bronze with a time of 18 minutes, 53.4 sec-
onds.
“She stayed with me a couple seconds and
she faded back,” Madgic said. “And I sprint-
ed on.”
At the state meet Nov. 25 at Woodward
Park in Fresno, Madgic settled for 43rd
place out of 195 runners in the Division II
race. She did, however, maintain her CCS
standing with the third fastest time of any-

eight returning runners that have been to
the state meet, that’s a great accomplish-
ment,” Miranda said. “And I’m really proud
of that.”
Miranda and Murray’s relationship this
season as senior and freshman marks a true
passing of the baton. It was the same way
for Miranda as a freshman in 2014, getting
to run with the then-senior Lacy for one sea-
son.
“When I was a freshman she was a real
inspiration for me to work out with her and
be on the inside of her training,” Miranda
said. “There were weeks when … she’d hit
her time for every race for weeks on end. So
that’s something that really inspired me. …
Just to be able to keep that legacy going
was a huge motivation to me.”
While Miranda’s cross-country career did-
n’t end the way he had hoped — he opted out
of the West Regionals to take two weeks to
recover from the state finals — he still cited
the third-place finish at Woodward Park as
the highlight of his season.
And why not? It still marked the best fin-
ish of any boys’ runner in Menlo history.
“If that’s my sick day, I can live with
that,” Miranda said.
one from the section. And with her time of
19:02.9, she qualified for the Footlocker
West Regionals, travelling to Mt. San
Antonio College in Walnut to participate in
the eight-state field for the first time in her
career.
“I was definitely really excited,” Madgic
said. “I did get a cold right after state … so I
was still a little under the weather. I knew I
didn’t have a chance to make nationals. But
I wanted to compete against some of the
best runners in the nation.”
Looking forward, Madgic talks about her
senior season like she has some unfinished
business. This isn’t a personal ambition,
but a team goal. Another one of Madgic’s
claims to fame came two years ago when, as
a freshman, she led the Aragon girls to the
state finals, as a team, for the first time in
school history. And with sophomore
Sydney Hou, junior Beata Gold and fresh-
man Niyati Reddy all slated to return,
Madgic has high hopes of filling out the
five-runner roster and returning the Dons to
the state championship stage.
“I’m definitely really excited,” Madgic
said. “One of our goals as a team is to make
it to state together. The girls only made it
once before. So, we want to make it there
together.”

Stanford gets past
UCLA in double overtime
STANFORD — Dorian Pickens scored a
career-high 26 points, including a 3-pointer in
the final two minutes of the second overtime, to
help Stanford surprise UCLA 105-99 in Pac-12
Conference action Thursday night.
Daejon Davis added a season-best 22 points
for the Cardinal (7-8, 1-1), who have beaten the
Bruins three of the past four meetings at home.
Aaron Holiday scored 31 points, 29 after half-
time, and hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer of the first
overtime to tie the game at 94 and give UCLA
(11-4, 2-1) new life.
Pickens also hit a 3-pointer with seven sec-
onds remaining in regulation to tie it at 85 and
send the game into overtime.
Kezie Okpala dunked with 33 seconds left and
Oscar Da Silva came up with a huge block in the
final five seconds of the first overtime. Okpala
hit 1-of-2 free throws to put Stanford ahead 94-

THE DAILY JOURNAL
MUSEUM GOTTA SEE ‘UM
By Susan Cohn
DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
ART FROM NOAH’S ARK: A POPU-
LAR S AN MATEO DES TINATION
COMES TO LIFE AGAIN AT THE SAN
MATEO COUNTY HISTORY MUSEUM
IN REDWOOD CITY. In 1972, San Mateo
County History Museum Director Les
Merrill took in a collection of items related
to Noah’s Ark, the celebrated restaurant
once on Third Avenue in San Mateo. The
restaurant was important to San Mateo
County History because its proprietor,
African-American Noah Williams, was
arguably the most popular restauranteur on
the Peninsula during the 1920s and 1930s.
It was noted that his Noah’s Ark was not
only renowned for its food but for its décor
as well. Huge paintings of African animals
were hung on the walls. In fact, promotion-
al materials of the day claimed Williams had
spent $40,000 to equip and furnish the
restaurant, a princely amount of money in
1923, when the restaurant opened. As a
prominent entrepreneur, Williams was cer-
tainly a person Les Merrill had interest in,
along with other members of the Williams
family. His son Barney Williams became an
important Boy Scout leader, and Barney’s
brother, Les, the famous dancer, was a
Tuskegee pilot during World War II. Les
Williams is now the subject of a separate
display in the History Museum’s Peninsula
at War! Exhibit. Les Merrill’s foresighted-
ness in taking in the Noah’s Ark collection
paid off with a popular exhibit at that time,
when the History Museum was located at the
College of San Mateo. Now, after decades of
being in storage, the Noah’s Ark paintings
(and a variety of photographs of the restau-
rant) will again be on display, from Jan. 23
through April 15 at the San Mateo County
History Museum, 2200 Broadway within
Two members of rock’s Doors are joined on L.A. street
By John Rogers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — As the drummer for
the Doors, John Densmore’s name has
been inexorably linked with that of
lead singer Jim Morrison’s for more
than half a century.
Now those names are connected by
signs as well, on a street not far from
where the seminal rock band, arguably
Los Angeles’ greatest, was formed in
1965.
On Thursday, the second anniversary
of L.A.’s annual Day of the Doors cele-
bration, Densmore gathered with
dozens of friends, family and fans to
unveil a pair of street sign informing
motorists they have just arrived at the
corner of Morrison Street and
Densmore Avenue.

Far away from Hollywood, children benefit from Golden Globes

By Sandy Cohen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Nine-year-old Adalyn
Ficken snuggled next to her dad in the
reclining movie-theater seats, clutching a
teddy bear in one hand and a cup of popcorn
in the other, waiting for the film to start.
A pudgy 5-year-old boy tugging an IV
pole behind him raced into the theater, his
mom rushing up behind him. Some of the
moviegoers wore hospital gowns or arrived
in wheelchairs.
Far away from the starry happenings
around Sunday’s Golden Globe Awards, this
Lollipop Theater Network screening of
“Ferdinand” at a local children’s hospital is
among hundreds of film events made possi-
ble by the profitability of the annual awards
show. While stars may consider the show an
opportunity to swig Champagne and social-
ize with their well-dressed pals, nonprofit
groups see the Globes as a source of much-
needed financial support.
The Hollywood Foreign Press
Association has been sharing spoils from
the Globes’ international broadcast with
arts-oriented nonprofits for 30 years. With
the millions of dollars in licensing fees
NBC pays annually to air the show, the
HFPA has sponsored scholarships and film
restoration, provided equipment and train-
ing for aspiring filmmakers and funded
scores of screenings at schools, museums
and hospitals.
As a nonprofit itself, “supporting the
things we think are important is part of the
HFPA’s mandate,” said Meher Tatna, the
organization’s president.
The HFPA has given almost $30 million
to date, including $2.8 million in grants
presented at a star-studded banquet in
August. Among the recipients for the past
dozen years is the Lollipop Theater
Network, which brings first-run films and
other entertainment events to children’s
hospitals across the country. The HFPA
gave the group $20,000 in 2016 and 2017.
Those funds have allowed for 180
Lollipop Theater screenings in Southern
California, including the recent showing of
“Ferdinand” at Children’s Hospital Orange
County, according to executive director
Evelyn Iocolano. With screenings every
few weeks, patients, siblings and parents
are invited to watch the film in the hospi-
tal’s dedicated theater, where they could
munch on popcorn and frozen yogurt from a
free snack bar, or enjoy movies from the
privacy of their hospital rooms.
Studios provide several copies of each
film so the sickest patients can stay in bed
for screenings, said Laila Ayad of Lollipop.
Regardless of where they watch, though,
they receive a proper movie ticket and
sometimes souvenirs. Fox representatives
brought “Ferdinand” posters, magnets and
plush toys to the Orange County screening.
“It was so emotional!” said Gisselle Jay,
who escaped to the hospital theater with her
husband and two kids for “Ferdinand” while
their third child was receiving treatment.

Food brief
Half-ton butter sculpture
unveiled at Pennsylvania Farm Show
HARRISBURG, Pa. — A half-ton (0.45 metric tons) of
butter has been transformed into a sculpture celebrating
Pennsylvania’s dairy industry and heralding the start of the
state’s 102nd Farm Show.
Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding says the sculpture
unveiled Thursday highlights the careers and roles the dairy
industry plays in the state. The sculpture features renderings
of a cow and a farmer, an agronomist, a milk processor and
a shopper with a basket full of products.
The butter came from waste scrap butter unsuitable for
human consumption. After the show the sculpture will be
taken to a farm and turned into energy in a methane digester.
The Pennsylvania Farm Show is the nation’s largest
indoor agricultural event, featuring 12,000 competitive
exhibits, more than 5,200 of which are animal competi-
tions. It runs Saturday to Jan. 13.
PANTHER

and black diaspora.
“As the father of two little black
boys I’m super excited to have a super-
hero that looks like them on screen,”
said Glen Greezy of New York City,
who along with more than 900 of his
friends on Facebook, plan to hit Times
Square and see the movie together on
opening weekend. “Other superheroes
are great and I see their movies too, but
something about having a black man
as the main character in a superhero
movie is extra appealing.”
“Black Panther,” starring Chadwick
Boseman as the eponymous superhero,
opens on Feb. 16, picking up the
adventures of the newly crowned
African king and superhero who
debuted in 2016’s “Captain America:
Civil War. ” Existing in the same
shared universe as Iron Man, the Hulk,
Captain America and Spiderman, the
Panther, however, is African royalty
and his adventures center around his
futuristic hidden homeland of
Wakanda, considered to be the most
technologically advanced nation on
Marvel’s earth. In the new movie,
T’Challa, the Black Panther’s real
name, must battle long-time adver-
saries with the aide of his all-female
bodyguards and a CIA agent to main-
tain control of his country and prevent
a world war.
Directed by Ryan Coogler, it also
has an all-star cast including Angela
Bassett, Lupita Nyong’o, Michael B.
Jordan, Forest Whitaker, Danai Gurira,
Sterling K. Brown and more.
For many people, the Black Panther
movie isn’t just a movie; it’s a symbol
of change.
“‘Black Panther’ is just going to be
really special. ... I don’t plug into film
anticipation. But I can feel it. A lot of
my friends have asked me to go to the
premiere! Everyone in my network is
excited about it, and you can feel it
when they’re not, ” said Daniel
Kaluuya, the “Get Out” star who also is
featured in “Black Panther,” told the
Associated Press recently.
The internet explodes each time a
new trailer, poster or piece of artwork
debuts from the movie, sparking hash-
tags like #BlackPantherSoLit and
#WelcometoWakanda. Twitter declared
that Black Panther was one of the most
tweeted-about movies of 2017, and the
only movie on the list that hadn’t pre-
miered yet.
“Do we really have to wait until
February!” lamented Elwood L.
Robinson, chancellor of Winston-
Salem State University in Winston-
Salem, North Carolina, on Twitter
while sporting a Black Panther t-shirt.
Groups like MALIK Fraternity Inc.,
the first collegiate fraternity founded
on the concept of African fraternalism,
in Charlotte, North Carolina and the
Intentional Community Building
Collective and Leaders of a Beautiful
Struggle in Baltimore, are assembling
discussion panels on the movie’s
themes.
Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby,
the minds behind Spider-Man, the
Fantastic Four and other Marvel
comics, the Black Panther holds a
unique position in comic book histo-
ry. While not the first black comic
book hero — the first black character
to headline his own comic book was
Dell Comics’ Western hero and gun-
fighter Lobo in 1965 — the Black
Panther is considered the first black
superhero, introduced as a supporting
character in Fantastic Four in 1966 and
later featured in his own book.
There has been a renaissance with
black superheroes on television as
well. “Black Lightning” debuts on the
CW on January 16 featuring an educa-
tor who gains electrical powers and
becomes a superhero. “Luke Cage,” a
television show about a former con-
vict with superhuman strength and
unbreakable skin, premiered on
Netflix in 2016 and will begin a sec-
ond season later this year.
Cage debuted in a self-titled comic
book “Luke Cage, Hero for Hire” in
1972 with an exaggerated Afro and a
catchphrase “Sweet Christmas!” He
was followed by Black Lightning in a
DC comic book in 1977.
There have been other black super-
hero movies — Wesley Snipes starred
as the vampire slayer Blade in one of
the first Marvel movies, and Robert
Townsend starred in a comedic parody
of superheroes in “Meteor Man” — but
their movies did not bring out the
enthusiasm that Black Panther is see-
ing.
“What is significant now, however,
is that this age of convergence of film
franchises with social media, a black
superhero movie with an almost all-
black cast conveys power, that we
have arrived. It’s evolution, ” said
Christopher Chambers, a Georgetown
University media studies professor.

initiative is palpable.
“Our hope is people will use it, that
we see great ridership and our opera-
tions team does a good job maintain-
ing bikes so this can be a permanent
mobility option for the people of
Burlingame,” said Sam Dreiman, the
company’s manager of strategic devel-
opment.
Mayor Michael Brownrigg shared a
similar perspective regarding the
city’s enthusiasm for the program to
begin.
“We are excited about the LimeBike
bike sharing program, ” said
Brownrigg, noting the program was
vetted by the city’s sustainability
coordinator and other officials prior
to formal adoption in early December.
Once the program is up and running,
users will be able to pick up bikes
after downloading the company’s app
on their phone or mobile device. The
program’s map will allow users to find
a LimeBike bicycle near them and
unlock it for use by scanning a digital
barcode. Once unlocked, riders can
stay on the bike for $1 per 30 minutes
of riding.
While available to those looking to
ride for pleasure, Dreiman said the
CAR
Continued from page 1
through January, is curated to examine
the important role automobiles play
in our lives, while also celebrating
their artistry, power and allure, said
museum founder and director Ruth
Waters.
“It seems like people are not paying
attention to them. They are essential
to transportation but also fun,” Waters
said.
The showcase travels down many
roads to reach its destination, present-
ing paintings, models, photographs,
collages and sculptures to transform
the museum’s front room into a utopia
for gear heads, grease monkeys and
garage crawlers.
In keeping with the museum’s mis-
sion to highlight local artists, each of
the pieces on display were crafted by
someone from one of the nine Bay
Area counties, Waters said.
Recognizing that skyrocketing
property values make it difficult for
artists to find available gallery
spaces, Waters said she is proud the
museum is able to showcase the skills
of those living nearby.
“It’s tough for local artists and the
solve challenges for commuters who
are seeking to get to and from public
transportation hubs without a car.
“People are really using this to
solve the first and last mile chal-
lenges,” said Dreiman.
The company’s launch in
Burlingame marks its second venture
into a local community, following
LimeBike coming to South San
Francisco earlier this year.
Since beginning in August, Dreiman
said the program has been widely used,
serving 2,700 riders who took 7,000
trips and biked more than 2,250 miles
at the average cost of $1 per ride. The
company offers between 200 and 300
bikes in South San Francisco, he said.
There have been some bumps in the
road, Dreiman admitted, primarily
around assuring users are parking the
bikes in appropriate places and ade-
quately maintaining the bikes.
While some challenges are to be
expected in the first few months,
Dreiman said most users are quickly
getting a hang of the program.
“The fact is while there is a learning
curve regarding how to use the system
and how to treat the bikes properly,
within one or two months, people get
used to it,” he said.
Educating users on proper bike stor-
age through the app and immediate
response to customer complaints have
been key components to assuring
talent is just incredible,” she said.
Notable exhibit entries include
ceramic models of classic automobiles
in varying stages of decay by sculptor
and painter Jon Gariepy; pictures of
cars interacting with nature by pho-
tographer Jack Fulton; and abstract
automotive-inspired metallic works
by sculptor Joe Slusky.
“These Bay Area artists consider the
automobile in the manifold guises …
as the industrial miracle of a century
ago, affording … mobility and free-
dom to millions, ” said exhibition
curator DeWitt Cheng in promotional
material for the show.
While many of the nostalgic pieces
attempt to capture a passing glance of
Americana through the rearview mir-
ror, some cast a more dour look at the
car’s cultural placement.
The countless vehicles strewn into a
towering pile resembling a vast, gap-
ing wrecking yard depicted in Michael
Kerbow’s painting speaks to the envi-
ronmental toll taken by the depend-
ence and disposal.
And Timothy Horn’s oil painting of
rust gradually overwhelming a couple
of muscle cars abandoned in a dirt field
is a solemn reminder of the all-too-
common end for what once amounted
to someone’s dream ride.
The overall weight of some pieces
though is balanced against the exhib-

In South San Francisco, a function
suggesting preferred parking areas
with map pins and icons has been par-
ticularly successful in the program
running smoothly, said Dreiman.
“We have that all over South San
Francisco and the city loved it and we
see users really respond to it and are
parking where the suggested places
are,” he said.
Regarding concerns over bike theft,
Dreiman said criminal reports account
for 2 percent at most of the compa-
ny’s bikes in cities across the nation.
The program is available in urban
communities such as Boston,
Phoenix and Dallas, among many
others.
Dreiman claims the company is the
largest dockless program in the
nation, and that cities prefer
LimeBike to docked bike sharing
competitors because it requires less
infrastructure investment.
Without racks, Brownrigg acknowl-
edged LimeBike is “much more flexi-
ble than other programs,” but said
Burlingame officials will continue
monitoring the initiative once it is
rolling to assure its success.
Ultimately, considering the ease of
adopting LimeBike, Brownrigg said
officials believed in the potential
benefit offered by the program.
“We thought it was a risk well worth
taking,” he said.
it’s general playfulness and regard for
its subject.
Ellen Anne Chong’s display of cus-
tomized Hot Wheels collectibles
brings back memories of a child’s fas-
cination with cool cars, while collages
by William Wareham imagine a world
where crafting dream machines is pos-
sible without ever touching a wrench.
Considering the auto industry’s
shift from internal combustion
engines toward alternative energy
sources and eventually arriving at era
when a driver is no longer needed, it
seems appropriate to now examine the
car’s social worth, claims exhibit
curator Cheng.
“It’s a good time to look back at the
utopia and dystopia wrought by the
car,” according to Cheng.
Waters agreed the exhibit is a useful
vehicle for reflecting on the relation-
ships built with the personal automo-
bile, while also delivering to the
museum those potentially unfamiliar
with the trove of local creative ven-
tures.
“We are reaching out to a different
segment of the community,” she said.
“Car culture: Car as object, car as
subject,” is on display until Monday,
Jan. 28, at the Peninsula Museum of
Art, 1777 California Driv e,
Burlingame. Admission is free.

In small breakthrough, Koreas will meet for talks on Tuesday
By Hyung-Jin Kim
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEOUL, South Korea — The rival Koreas
will sit down for their first formal talks in
more than two years next week to find ways
to cooperate on the Winter Olympics in the
South and to improve their abysmal ties,
Seoul officials said Friday. While a positive
sign after last year’s threats of nuclear war,
the Koreas have a long history of failing to
move past their deep animosity.
The announcement came hours after the
United States said it will delay annual mili-
tary exercises with South Korea until after
the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang,
South Korea, next month. The exercises
infuriate North Korea, which claims they
are an invasion rehearsal, although South
Korea and the United States have repeatedly
said they are defensive in nature.
On Friday morning, North Korea sent a
message saying it would accept South
Korea’s offer to meet at the border village of
Panmunjom next Tuesday to discuss
Olympic cooperation and how to improve
overall ties, according to South Korea’s
Unification Ministry, which handles North
Korean matters. Panmunjom is where a
North Korean soldier dashed across the bor-
der into the South in November. He is
recovering after being shot five times by
his former comrades.
Unification Ministry spokesman Baik
Tae-hyun said he expects the two Koreas
will use a recently restored cross-border
communication channel to try to determine
who will head their respective delegations
next week.
Any dialogue between the Koreas is seen
as a positive step. But critics say the
North’s abrupt push to improve ties may be
a tactic to divide Seoul and Washington and
weaken international pressure and sanc-
tions on Pyongyang.
In his New Year’s address Monday, North
Korean leader Kim Jong Un said he was will-
ing to send a delegation to the Winter
Olympics but he also said he has a “nuclear
button” on his desk to fire atomic weapons
at the United States. President Donald
Trump quickly responded that he had a big-
ger and more powerful “nuclear button” of
his own.
Past breakthroughs to ease Korean ten-
sions have often ended with renewed ani-
mosities. It’s likely the North will refrain
from provocations during the Games. But
tensions could return afterward because the
North has no intention of abandoning its
weapons programs and the United States
will not ease its pressure on the country,
analysts say.
The Trump government on Thursday said
its springtime military drills with South
Korea will be held from March 8-18 follow-
ing the Feb. 9-25 Olympic Games.

ing authority and enables it to retain the
fees. For passengers, that means the new
administrative penalty is reduced to $75,
much less than going through the legal sys-
tem where fines start at $250 but can hit
$600 when including court fees, Lieberman
explained.
“Both the cost and the tedium associated
with it [now], may be more of a reason for
people to get agitated to the point where
they do something foolish,” Lieberman
said.
The shift will also alleviate its burden on
the courts. Caltrain operates across Santa
Clara, San Mateo and San Francisco coun-
ties, each with its own legal system. That
means under the current civil process con-
ductors have to determine in which jurisdic-
tion they’ve caught the evader before writ-
ing a ticket specific to one of the three court
systems.
That complexity has apparently led to a
high rate of the tickets being overturned in
court, said Dave Pine, a Caltrain board mem-
ber and San Mateo County supervisor.
“It should improve enforcement,” Pine
said, noting staff indicated that “under the
current system, 65 percent of the tickets
were overturned because of the complexity
of writing them up properly. So it won’t be
as complex of a system and should improve
enforcement.”
The new streamlined process means
Caltrain can issue administrative fines, and
retain the fees per a new statewide law. But
the goal of the new policy isn’t about
increasing revenue, it’s about implement-
ing a more effective system, Lieberman
said.
Caltrain operates on an honor-based sys-
tem whereby people don’t have to provide
proof of payment unless they’re asked by a
conductor or police. The faster electronic
ticketing system can provide conductors
with more time to patrol the cars and ideally
catch more evaders.
Conductors will also be encouraged to
take a zero-tolerance approach, which some
believe could alleviate the potential for
people to argue they’ve been singled out for
enforcement.
Caltrain Board Member Jeff Gee, also a
Redwood City councilman, noted the

Considerations include increasing base
fares, introducing an off-peak discount for
those riding during times with less demand,
and changing the Go Pass system employ-

workers.
But there’s a fine line between generating
more revenue and keeping Caltrain a desir-
able alternative to driving solo. One factor
prompting the potential changes is that
many well-paid Caltrain riders appear will-
ing to spend more. Demand for Caltrain is
considered “inelastic, ” meaning raising
prices isn’t expected to reduce ridership,
according to the presentation. 
Still, Gee and Pine were cognizant that a
number of riders have pocketbooks that
probably can’t tolerate fare increases. 
“While a substantial number of our riders
have higher incomes, we still have low-
income riders and I don’t think they have
the ability to pay much more than they are,”
Pine said. “There’s a need to be equitable in
serving our residents and not having a serv-
ice only for the most wealthy.”
Caltrain is also working with the
Metropolitan Transportation Commission
as the regional entity considers a merit-
based discount for lower-income earners
