3 electeds may be appointed

BY ADRIANA HERNANDEZ

Daily Post Staff Writer

Voters in San Mateo County could lose their power to elect a coroner, county controller or tax collector-treasurer and the county supervisors may keep their ability to remove the sheriff if a committee reviewing the county’s charter goes along with suggestions from the supervisors.

Under proposal from supervisors

Supervisor Jackie Speier has suggested the Charter Review Committee consider the coroner, county controller, or county tax collector-treasurer be appointed by the board or the county manager.

Democrats and the White House struck a deal to avert a partial government shutdown and temporarily fund the Department of Homeland Security as they negotiate new restrictions for President Trump’s surge of immigration enforcement. The potential deal comes after Democrats voted to block legislation to fund the DHS yesterday.

FAKE AGENT: Authorities say a man claiming to be an FBI agent showed up to a federal jail in New York City and told officers he had a court order to release Luigi Mangione. The man was arrested and charged with impersonating an FBI agent in a foiled bid to free Mangione from the Metropolitan Detention Center, where he is held while awaiting state and federal murder trials in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

MASSEY SENTENCING: A former Illinois sheriff’s deputy has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for fatally shooting Sonya Massey, a Black women who dialed 911 asking for help. Sean Grayson was convicted [See THE UPDATE, page 4]

Speier did not respond to the Post’s request for comment to find out why she made the recommendation to the

committee, which will be reviewing Speier’s and other the supervisor’s suggestions on Tuesday.

If the charter review committee goes along with the suggestions from the supervisors, the changes would have to go on the ballot.

“I believe that the majority of the vot-

ers in San Mateo County are politically savvy and capable of reviewing the qualifications of candidates for office and making their own decisions. Why should that shift to the Board of Supervisors?” County Treasurer Sandie Arnott said to the Post.

The suggestion to appoint department heads has been brought to the committee another time before. In

Hospital workers sue for discrimination Stanford case goes to jury

BY BRADEN CARTWRIGHT Daily Post Staff Writer

Stanford Health Care has been sued for alleged discrimination by two hospital employees — a patient transporter who said his coworkers joked about

his race, and a nurse coordinator who wasn’t allowed to work remotely after she broke her pelvis in a car accident.

Patient Transporter Isaiah Daniels, who is African-American, said he “was forced to work in a toxic and discrimi-

After three weeks of intense trial hearings for several pro-Palestinian protesters who broke into Stanford University’s president’s office on June 5, 2024, a prosecutor argued during closing arguments yesterday that the group should be convicted for conspiring to break in and vandalize the space.

Meanwhile, a defense attorney asserted that the protesters never intended to cause harm and only wanted to raise awareness about their demands for Stanford to divest from pro-Israel companies. None of the five protesters on trial exercised their Fifth Amendment right to testify on their own behalf.

Chip is an adult male holland lop rabbit. Isn’t he adorable? Holland lops are known for their small size, floppy ears, gentle nature, friendliness and love of their owners. Chip is no exception! This cute little guy loves to spend time with his people. He’ll hop right over to you and ask for some veggies or to be pet and maybe come in for a snuggle. He may be small but one big word describes him: crepuscular. That means you don’t have to worry if you’re gone working during the day – rabbits are most active in the twilight hours at dawn and dusk. Throughout the day he will be happily lounging around doing bunny things while waiting for you to come home so he can hear all about your day with his big ears and sweet heart!

of second-degree murder in October. The white former deputy killed Massey on July 6, 2024. The 36-year-old single mother had called the police saying she feared there was a prowler outside her Springfield home. Grayson shot her in the face. Grayson can shorten his sentence by half with good behavior. He has been incarcerated since he was charged in Massey’s killing.

OTHER PRETTI VIDEO: Alex Pretti was forcefully taken to the ground by federal immigration agents after kicking out the tail light of their vehicle during a Minneapolis protest 11 days before he was shot and killed by Border Patrol officers, videos that emerged Wednesday show. The Jan. 13 scuffle was captured in a pair of videos that show Pretti shouting an expletive at the federal officers and struggling with them.

MAHAN RUNNING: San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan, a moderate Democrat, is jumping in the race for California governor, joining a crowded field of Democrats vying for the seat that so far has no clear frontrunner just a few months before the June primary.

OIL OVERHAUL SIGNED: Venezuela’s acting President Delcy Rodríguez signed a law that will open the nation’s oil sector to privatization. The move reverses a tenet of the self-proclaimed socialist movement that has ruled the country for more than two decades. Lawmakers in the country’s National Assembly approved the overhaul less than a month after the brazen seizure of then-President Nicolas Maduro by the U.S. military. U.S. Treasury Department yesterday began to ease sanctions on Venezuelan oil that once crippled the industry.

SQUIRTER GETS CHARGED: The Justice Department has charged a man who squirted apple cider vinegar on Democratic U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar at an event in Minneapolis.

Kazmierczak has a criminal history and has made online posts supportive of President Trump.

Joan Liddy Jack

February 7, 1934 – December 28, 2025

Joan Liddy Jack, age 91, died at Stanford Hospital surrounded by her family on December 28th, 2025.

Joan was born on February 7, 1934 in Utica, New York to Earl Atwell Wheaton and Gertrude (Liddy) Wheaton and was the youngest of three children. She grew up in Ridgewood, New Jersey and graduated from Ridgewood High School where her senior quote in the yearbook was “the time to be happy is now.”

After high school she was part of the Class of 1954 at Green Mountain Junior College where she was President of the Student Council and a member of Phi Theta Kappa honor society. She then followed her brother Earl to New York City where she received her nursing degree from Columbia University.

After nursing school, Joan moved to San Francisco and soon met Robert Jack, who was part of an energetic group of Stanford Graduate School of Business students living in a “mansion” in Los Altos. They were married in October of 1960 and had three children: Lisa, Sheila, and Gordon. Once the kids were older, Joan returned to school to get her Masters in Nursing and then led the Health Education Department at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation for many years, followed by working with a pulmonologist to help people stop smoking.

True to her senior quote, Joan spread happiness to others through humor, kindness, and generosity. She was not shy about making jokes about an occasional gaffe (like when she told the philosophy professor that she too loved Play-dough) or telling stories about funny situations from her childhood. She was also not afraid to try new things, such as modeling for a book about color, sewing all kinds of things (including down jackets and a tent), leading a Girl Scout troop, and painting the second story windows of their house at the top of a large extension ladder. Joan was the perfect mom for her children who to this day are so appreciative of her support, warmth, and sense of fun. It is a testimony to Joan’s parenting that all three children ended up living very close by, which allowed Joan to forge close relationships with all seven of her grandchildren.

With Bob, Joan created a life full of friendships and community. Through the kids’ schools (Addison Elementary, Jordan Middle School, and Paly High) and sports teams (softball, soccer, swimming, etc.), volunteerism (President of the Garden Club, docent at the Gamble Gardens and leading Professorville tours), competition (she was an avid tennis player, loved board games, and spent many Saturdays supporting the Stanford football team), and fellowship in church communities, she forged lasting friendships that sustained her throughout her life and brought her joy. Up until the end of her life, her calendar was filled with dates for bridge, bible study, choir practice, dinners, and family gatherings.

Joan loved to explore the world beyond Palo Alto too. As a young mother, she and Bob loaded the children into the VW van and traveled across the country, visiting national parks as they went. When her children got older, she often used them as excuses to see other countries, traveling to the USSR with Sheila for a soccer tournament and to Spain and Chile to visit Gordy while he was working overseas. She and Bob continued their adventures until he got sick and passed in April of 2020.

After Bob died, Joan led a more stationary life, focused on family and friends in Palo Alto. She greatly enjoyed the friends and activities she had at Channing House, and the many family gatherings for holidays and birthdays. As a very spiritual person, she also highly valued her time with her bible study group and attending church services remotely.

Joan is survived by her children Lisa Jack, Sheila Grau, and Gordon Jack, and grandchildren Charles Smith, Cooper Smith, Rachel Grau, Rickey Grau, Alex Grau, Daniel Grau, and Henry Jack. We did not want to give her up but we feel blessed to have had her for as long as we did.

A Celebration of Joan’s life will be planned for a warm sunny day in the Spring.

Residents balk at crosswalk project

BY ADRIANA HERNANDEZ Daily Post Staff Writer

Belmont residents don’t want another crosswalk near the Caltrain station, where the city is already building new housing.

Councilwoman Gina Latimerlo said on Tuesday that residents feel a new crosswalk at Hill Street and El Camino Real with a flashing sign will not be used because of the nearby hill.

Behind the project

The city will build a new crosswalk in preparation for the new residents who will live at The Corners, a housing development at the 900 block of El Camino Real, according to Public Works Director Edric Kwan. The development consists of two buildings with 24 and 13 units each. The project is estimated to be done by the middle of this year.

The crossing is intended to save current and future residents 10 to 15 minutes by not having to walk to the intersection at Ralston Avenue and El Camino Real, Kwan said during the meeting.

“Save these funds for more meaningful safety enhancements,” Joanne Adamkewicz said in a letter to the city on Jan. 26.

The new crosswalk is not in bicyclists’

best interest because it is too steep for residents coming from Ralston Avenue, according to Adamkewicz.

Another alternative is to use the Emmett Avenue route, which is much flatter, Kwan said.

Safety concerns

Adamkewicz said the new crosswalk could pose safety issues for bicyclists due to the on-street parking and many driveways in the area.

“This is a stupid project. A HAWK crosswalk is totally useless at this location. It serves about 200 households off of the one short street segment above it,” Giuliano Carlini said in a letter to the city on Jan. 25.

The crosswalk will be too close to the one at Ralston Avenue to make a difference, Carlini said. The project will increase traffic on Ralston Avenue during construction, making it more dangerous for bicyclists, he said. City employees should focus on making Ralston Avenue safer for pedestrians and bicyclists by building a protected bike lane, Carlini said.

Kwan disagreed, saying the crosswalk at Hill Street will help residents reach the city’s Caltrain station in a much safer way because the intersection at Ralston can be harder to navigate.

Ex-Google worker guilty

BY STEPHANIE LAM Daily Post Correspondent

An ex-Google engineer was convicted yesterday by a federal jury of stealing artificial intelligence trade secrets from the tech giant to help two China-based companies he was secretly working for.

Linwei Ding, also known as Leon Ding, 38, was found guilty of seven charges of economic espionage and seven counts of theft of trade secrets for stealing 2,000 pages of information containing AI secrets from Google’s network, according to U.S. Attorney Craig Missakian from the Department of Justice.

Ding faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison for each count of theft, and 15 years in prison for each count of espionage.

Behind the theft

The theft occurred between May 2022 and April 2023, when Ding was a Google employee. Ding had also been secretly affiliating himself with two China-based technology companies, according to the department.

Ding was in the works to be Chief Technology Officer for an early-stage technology company in June 2022. In early 2023, he

was in the process of founding his own tech company focused on AI and machine learning and was acting as the company’s CEO, according to the department.

In multiple statements to potential investors, Ding claimed he could build an AI supercomputer by copying and modifying Google’s tech. In December 2023, less than two weeks before he resigned from Google, Ding downloaded the stolen Google trade secrets to his own personal computer, the department states.

Ding is next scheduled to appear at a status conference on Feb. 3.

Times shown are when a report was made to police. Information is from police department logs. All of the people named here are innocent until proven guilty in court.

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of John K. Abraham, aka John Kelso Abraham

A Petition for Probate has been filed by Russell H. Marshall in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara

The Petition for Probate requests that Russell H. Marshall be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The Petition request the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waives notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING ON THE PETITION WILL BE HELD IN THIS COURT AS FOLLOWS:

DATE:MARCH 12, 2026, TIME: 9:01AM, DEPT: 2

ADDRESS OF COURT: SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA, 191 NORTH FIRST ST, SAN JOSE 95113

If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (for DE-154) of the filling of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice Form is available from the court clerk.

Proposal seeks to boost transplants

The government is proposing new rules for the nation’s transplant system that aim to increase use of less-thanperfect organs and set additional safety standards for donor groups.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said the proposal would strengthen its oversight of organ procurement organizations or OPOs, groups that retrieve organs from deceased donors.

Ongoing overhaul

More than 100,000 people are on the U.S. transplant list, the vast majority seeking a kidney, and thousands will die waiting for a new organ. The move is part of an ongoing overhaul of the complex transplant system that began during the first Trump administration.

But it comes after donations from the deceased dropped last year for the first

time in over a decade, sparking concern about mistrust in the system. While organ transplants have been rising — just over 49,000 last year compared with 48,150 in 2024 — that year-over-year increase also slowed.

“Every missed opportunity for organ donation is a life lost,” CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz said in a statement Wednesday.

Medically complex organs

In a step toward more potentially usable organs, the proposal urges maximizing the use of “medically complex organs,” typically those from older or sicker donors.

CMS would add new requirements for how OPOs track the retrieval and usage of those less-than-perfect organs, which the agency said may need “special or additional considerations” in finding an appropriate recipient.

Study: Heart risks rise for night owls

Being a night owl can be bad for your heart.

That may sound surprising but a large study found people who are more active late at night — when most of the population is winding down or already asleep — have poorer overall heart health than the average person.

“It is not like, that, night owls are doomed,” said research fellow Sina Kianersi of Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, who led the study. “The challenge is the mismatch between your internal clock and typical daily schedules ” that makes it harder to follow heart-healthy behaviors.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S. The American Heart Association has a list of eight key factors that everyone should heed for better heart health: being more physically active; avoiding tobacco; getting enough sleep and a healthy diet; and controlling blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and weight.

Circadian rhythm

Where does being a night owl come in? That has to do with the body’s circadian rhythm, our master biological clock. It follows a roughly 24-hour schedule that regulates not just when we become sleepy and when we’re

more awake but also keeps organ systems in sync, influencing things like heart rate, blood pressure, stress hormones and metabolism.

Everybody’s circadian rhythm is a little different. Prior research had suggested night owls might have more health problems, as well as risk factors like higher rates of smoking and less physical activity, than people with more typical bedtimes, Kianersi said.

Digging into the data

To learn more, Kianersi’s team tracked more than 300,000 middle-age and older adults in the UK Biobank, a huge health database that includes information about people’s sleep-wake preferences. About 8% of those people classified themselves as night owls, more active physically and mentally in the late afternoon or evening and up past most people’s bedtime. About a quarter were early-birds, most productive in the daylight hours and likewise early to bed. The rest were average, somewhere in the middle.

Over 14 years, the night owls had a 16% higher risk of a first heart attack or stroke compared to the average population, the researchers found.

Unhealthy behaviors — smoking, insufficient sleep and poor diet — appear to be the main reasons.

Entertainment Jason Statham true to form in ‘Shelter’

BY MARK KENNEDY Associated Press Writer

Jason Statham lives in a Scottish lighthouse when we meet him in “Shelter” and that’s a pretty good analogy for Statham’s usual movie role these days: Tall, cold, alone, tough, quiet and only intermittently illuminating.

Statham may appear to be just a grim-faced lighthouse keeper, but he’s really a hero laying low, like he was when he was cosplaying a construction laborer in “Working Man ” and a honey collector in “The Beekeeper.”

Statham is Hollywood’s go-to guy for sidelined-waiting-to-pounce-again action stars. Gruff, with a heart of gold and a strong moral compass, he’s our lighthouse: Protecting us from danger and guiding us to safety while being very distant and very beard-forward.

This time, you’ll notice that the lighthouse isn’t actually working, so Statham is just a dude off the grid. He has a lovely dog, so we know he’s cool. He draws and plays chess, so we know he’s smart and arty, too. But there’s no internet, no Netflix. Just a lot of staring at the horizon in a big coat.

Slow start, then action

When a young woman who has been delivering his lighthouse with supplies — maybe more whiskey than

Cheerios — suddenly needs his help, he’s thrust back into the modern world. And it gets worse: A whole lot of folk want him dead. The hunt is on.

Turns out, Statham’s character is a lethal former MI6 operative and he’s part of a covert, extra-judicial conspiracy that goes straight up to the British prime minister. Has he been hiding out for a decade on a Scottish rock because he did something bad? Or good?

(Remember, he has a sweet dog.)

Bodhi Rae Breathnach, looking not unlike a young Saoirse Ronan, plays the young girl and she’s marvelous, a talent to watch. Bill Nighy plays a venal spycraft master who also is surprisingly good at computer coding. For his part, Statham is classic Statham,

never getting out of first gear. His dog emotes more.

Statham has always been an artist who uses his fists to express himself and “Shelter” is all about letting that inner Picasso out. Some of the deaths he inflicts here are done by boat oar, martini glass stem, industrial hook, boulder, fire, fork, factory chain and nail gun.

Color-by-numbers script

Ward Parry’s screenplay is really just a jumble of other action movie tropes, with plenty of military-speak like “kill on sight” and “eliminate” and he leans into the tired “True Grit” to “The Last of Us” theme of lone wolf and cub. “Stay down and hold

on,” is some of our hero’s best advice to his new ward.

The swiftness with which the girl and Statham bond is quite sudden. “Just promise me you’re not going to die,” she wails in a line that only could exist in the movies. One says to the other: “I have to save you.” The other replies: “You saved me already.” Will anyone save us from this drivel?

Director Ric Roman Waugh has a nice, gritty visual style and the fists and bullets land hard here, less stylish balletic and more thump, thump. There’s a car chase through the countryside that’s all straining steel and revving engines and a sequence in a London nightclub — every action movie apparently needs one — that shows off close-quarter murder beautifully choreographed as clueless dancers sway.

“Shelter” is everything you expect a Jason Statham movie to be, no more and no less. Now we just wait until the next one, when the gruff but amiable dog surfing instructor next door turns out to have a secret past, an English accent and an ability to kill people with a nail gun.

Release info

“Shelter,” a Black Bear Pictures release in theaters today, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association for violence and some language. Running time: 107 minutes.

Robin Eve Greenberg MFT, Jungian psychoanalyst, will review Jung’s method of Active Imagination and investigate how the body, while not often underlined, is integral. In the process of active imagination the therapist accompanies the patient in a mutually impactful dynamic of opening to the unconscious and relating to what emerges.

Listening to the unconscious and actively relating to the imagination is more challenging when there is trauma. Body and Psyche intertwine like roots. Bringing awareness to somatic underpinnings of trauma can free the capacity to play, to be creative, and to open to the imagination where the soul lives. The class will incorporate lectures, exercises and discussion. Optional reading will be available.

Anatolian Kitchen brings the unique flavors of homestyle Turkish cuisine to Palo Alto’s California Avenue.

Owner Dino Tekdemir says the homey recipes come straight from his mom and his native village, Diyarbakir, which is in a Kurdish area in the southeastern part of Turkey.

“It’s like what we’re eating at home, like mother cooks,” he said. He grew up on a farm where his family raised cows and sheep and grew their own vegetables. For his restaurant, Tekdemir is passionate about bringing that fresh perspective to his California Avenue kitchen, as well as sharing the authentic flavors of his native country.

Fresh tomatoes, onions, bell peppers and eggplants have a large role to play, as do herbs and spices like paprika and dried reyhan, a Turkish variety of purple basil known for its complex, aromatic flavor.

While Tekdemir also co-owns Barbayani Greek Taverna in Los Altos and Portola Bistro in Portola Valley, Anatolian Kitchen was his first, his baby. After coming to America he worked as a janitor, server and finally manager at Piacere in San Carlos. But in 2010, he realized his dream of opening his own restaurant. Anatolian Kitchen served diners for almost 12 years at 2323 Birch St. In 2022, after emerging from the pandemic, Tekdemir saw that demand for his healthy homestyle cuisine remained strong, and he re-opened the restaurant on Cal Ave. in late 2022.

Authentic Home-Style Turkish Food in Palo Alto

Not sure what to order? The menu offers a delicious array of hot and cold appetizers, kebabs, wraps and other items. Vegetarians will find plentiful options, including a stuffed eggplant entree and a veggie moussaka. Customers rave about the house-made doner – flavorful lamb and beef meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie, sliced thin and served in a wrap or with rice pilaf and salad. If it’s your first time there, Tekdemir recommends trying a variety of flavors at once by ordering the mixed appetizer platter or mixed grill entree, a meat-lover’s dream that offers

chicken and lamb shish kebabs, doner, chicken and lamb adana kebabs and kofte (ground beefand-lamb patties).

The restaurant also offers handcrafted artisan cocktails, beers and a diverse selection of wines, including several Turkish and Greek vintages Californians aren’t used to seeing. And of course raki, the anise-flavored brandy that’s Turkey’s national drink.

The restaurant loves to host their patrons’ social or business events and the restaurant can host up to 40 people. They also offer an unforgettable private catering experience, where their chefs, servers and bartenders can come to your location, preparing delicious fare and taking care of your every need while you enjoy your occasion.

Sweet tooths take note: Save room for traditional desserts, including the kunefe (a sweet cheese pastry with honey syrup and ice cream) and the baked butternut squash, served with tahini, homemade whipped cream and walnuts.

Anatolian Kitchen is open for lunch and dinner every day. For more information and to make reservations, go to anatoliankitchen.com.

It’s Grammys time

Sunday’s Grammys mark a return to normalcy after the 2025 show was altered to focus on Los Angeles-area wildfire relief efforts.

“I think we will see some history-making moments,” Recording Academy CEO and President Harvey Mason Jr. told The Associated Press. “With artists being nominated in categories they haven’t been previously nominated in, and a new crop of talent coming through the system this year — I think we’re going to see some really exciting results.”

The main show will air live from LA’s Crypto.com Arena on CBS beginning at 8 p.m. Eastern. Paramount+

premium plan subscribers will be able to stream the telecast live, too. (Paramount+ essential subscribers will have on-demand access the next day.)

Who’s performing?

The show will feature a special segment in which all eight of this year’s best new artist nominees will perform. That means Leon Thomas, Olivia Dean, global girl group Katseye, The Marias, Addison Rae, sombr, Alex Warren and Lola Young will all share the stage before going head-to-head for one of the night’s biggest prizes.

Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter and Justin Bieber will also perform.

ENTERTAINMENT

Film registry adds 25 classic movies

As if they’d leave “Clueless” off the list.

Cher Horowitz fans, rejoice: Amy Heckerling’s 1995 teen comedy is one of 25 classic movies chosen this year by the Library of Congress for its National Film Registry.

And if “Clueless” wasn’t your jam — whatever! — maybe this will send you deep into your dreams: Christopher Nolan’s mind-bending “Inception” is in the mix.

Other highlights

Among the other films chosen for preservation are “The Karate Kid,” “Glory,” “Philadelphia,” “Before Sunrise,” “The Incredibles” and “Frida.” There are four documentaries, including “Brooklyn Bridge” by Ken Burns.

From old Hollywood, there’s the 1954 musical “White Christmas,” and

the 1956 “High Society,” Grace Kelly’s last movie before marrying into royalty.

Since 1988, the Library of Congress has selected 25 movies each year for preservation due to their “cultural, historic or aesthetic importance.” The films must be at least 10 years old.

From old to new

The oldest of the 2025 picks dates from 1896, filmmaker William Selig’s “The Tramp and the Dog.” The newest of the group is from 2014: Wes Anderson’s “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” which, the registry noted, involved “meticulous historical research at the Library of Congress to create visually striking scenery.”

Turner Classic Movies will host a TV special March 19 to screen a selection of the films.

JURY –––––

Attorney Rob Baker said they should remember how the protesters planned the occupation weeks before and knew exactly what they were doing. Baker said protesters intentionally took the building to use as leverage for Stanford to comply with divestment demands.

Flipped protester’s testimony

Rosen announced the charges nearly a year after the alleged break-in. Out of the 12 protesters arrested on June 5, three protesters were granted mental health diversion and excluded from trial, including Isabella Terrazas, Eliana Fuchs and Zoe Edelman. Three others took plea deals, including Gretchen Rose Guimarin, Cameron Pennington and Kaiden Wang.

SUE ––––––

ers, Ronald Nagal and Trent Garrison, allegedly assigned easier tasks to women they were trying to flirt with and made racially charged remarks toward Black employees, Daniels said in his lawsuit.

Witness John Richardson, a protester who was arrested on June 5 and sided with Baker to potentially have his charges dropped, said he was a part of a group chat that planned the office occupation along with the five Stanford students on trial – German Gonzalez, Maya Burke, Taylor McCann, Hunter Taylor-Black and Amy Zhai. They discussed ways to break into the office and delegated tasks for each participant.

Baker also said jurors should recall the property damage done to the office building. Protesters had splattered fake blood and broke windows, doors and furniture, and the damages are estimated to be more than $300,000.

But defense attorney Avi Singh, who represents Gonzalez, insists the occupation was peaceful and only meant to raise awareness about divestment concerns.

Meant to minimize harm

Singh said the door barricades set up by the protesters during the occupation were meant to minimize risks of violence and harm. Police body cam video from that day captures how protesters peacefully surrendered when police found them, Singh said.

The protesters repeatedly said before, during and after the June 5 occupation that they wanted Stanford to divest from weapons manufacturing companies that have contracts with Israel during the Gaza conflict, Singh said.

Who testified

The closing arguments conclude nearly three weeks of trial hearings. The witnesses included university patrol officer Jason Barnes, who was on scene during the arrest and booking of the protesters; Richardson; and Stanford facilities director Mitch Bousson, who talked about the office damage.

If convicted, the group could face $329,000 in restitution and a maximum punishment of more than three years in jail.

Jury deliberations will begin after the remaining defense attorney’s closing arguments, which are expected to end today.

The five on trial are all who remain of the initial 12 protesters who were charged in April. Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff

For example, during a discussion about “soul food” in July 2023, Garrison allegedly said, “Is the chef’s name Bubba and can he make ribs?”

Daniels said he told Garrison that the remark was inappropriate, but Garrison kept making offensive jokes, the suit said.

Other examples

One time when Daniels went into Garrison’s office, Garrison allegedly made a loud comment about “fried chicken and Kool-Aid,” the suit said.

When Daniels again objected, Garrison allegedly said “So what do you want to do about it?” and followed Daniels out of the office, the suit said. Nagal allegedly called Daniels a Tagalog term akin to the N-word, the suit said.

Nagal was talking about black coffee beans and said, “It’s black so you know once you go black...” and before he finished, he looked at Daniels and started laughing, the suit said.

Got more work after complaint

Daniels said he complained to their director, but HR never interviewed, investigated or disciplined anyone. Instead, Daniels said he saw his workload increase, and he faced heightened scrutiny from his supervisors. He was fired for absences in January 2025, the suit said.

Daniels sued Stanford Health Care on Dec. 19 in Santa Clara County Superior Court.

Second lawsuit

Nurse Coordinator Candace Norie filed her case on Jan. 13.

Norie said she was in a serious car accident on the way home from work on March 20, 2024, just two weeks after she started at Stanford.

Her pelvic surgeon said most people don’t survive the broken bones she had, and she was confined to a wheelchair for months.

But Stanford wouldn’t let Norie work remotely, even though she had done her job from home in the past and wasn’t required to interact with patients, the suit said.

Stanford allegedly applied a different standard to Norie because she was disabled. New hires and other coordinators were allowed to work remotely, she said in her suit.

Doesn’t have a job

After going back and forth with Leave Consultant Chris Franklin about their expectations and doctor’s recommendations, Norie said Stanford fired her on Dec. 20, 2024, and she hasn’t

McCANN

found a job since. “Norie was devastated,” her lawsuit said. “After surviving her treacherous recovery journey, Stanford ripped away her dream job. Although Norie has an impeccable resume, she now must explain to prospective employers why her tenure at Stanford was so short.”

Stanford Health Care representatives didn’t return a request for comment about Norie’s lawsuit.

ELECTEDS ––––

2002, voters shot down a ballot measure that would have consolidated the coroner’s office with the sheriff’s department. In 2012, a measure to make the controller an appointed position was also defeated.

In 2017, then-Supervisors Dave Pine and Don Horsley made the same recommendation and requested the controller and tax collector-treasurer jobs to be consolidated into a chief financial officer position.

Reduces transparency

Coroner Robert Foucrault said he opposes the recommendation because it weakens the democratic process and infringes on people’s constitutional right to vote.

If the change moves forward, it will reduce accountability and transparency, Controller Juan Raigoza said.

“Good government requires proper separation of powers to provide the necessary checks and balances to support accountability and transparency. Lack of independence would certainly diminish the public’s trust in the county’s financial operations,” Raigoza said. He serves as an

internal watchdog for taxpayers and all county residents, he said.

Aside from Arnott, Foucrault and Raigoza, the other three elected positions who head up their departments are Assessor-County Clerk--Recorder and Chief Elections Official Mark Church, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe and the sheriff. However, Sheriff Ken Binder was appointed to the position in November after the removal of Sheriff Christina Corpus, and will finish her term that ends in 2028.

According to the state Constitution, the district attorney, sheriff and assessor must be elected.

Other suggestions

Board President Noelia Corzo recommended the committee keep the authority granted to the board to remove an elected sheriff, which expires in 2028. Voters gave supervisors the power to fire Corpus in a March 2025 special election, and a retired judge held a 10-day evidentiary hearing in August with both sides. Supervisors fired Corpus on Oct.14 for allegations of nepotism and retaliation.

Corzo also asked the committee to consider specifying board procedures for filling vacancies in elected positions. After firing Corpus, supervisors were concerned about the short time they had to make an appointment. The county’s charter has a 30-day window for the board to either appoint a new sheriff or hold a special election.

Other recommendations Corzo made included establishing official procedures if the board believes an elected official should be removed because they are physically or mentally incapable of holding the position. Another is to require supervisors to review the board’s governance handbook annually.

Balance SF, SJ

Supervisor Ray Mueller suggested the committee consider increasing the board president’s standing to speak on behalf of the county when issues arise, to balance the voices of San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan and San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie. This could

help residents be more familiar with the board, Mueller said.

The county’s charter, which defines the structure and powers of the county’s government, is reviewed every eight years, and on Tuesday the committee will discuss the changes proposed by supervisors.

The Charter Review Committee is made up of 19 county residents appointed by the board. Neither the board nor the committee can make any final decision regarding charter amendments. Changes are made only with voter approval.
