about 16 years in prison before beginning a life sentence, at which point he can start applying for parole. trial lawyer, Charles Dresow, said he is preparing an appeal. Wade was convicted in October when a Marin County jury found him guilty of trying to murder LandonWahlstrom, 18, in 2012. Wade, then 17 years old, rode a motorcycle up to truck in Mill Valley and repeat- edly fired a gun into the cab. girlfriend, 17-year-old Eva Dedier of Terra Linda, was also sit- ting in the truck, but the jury found insufficient evidence to prove Wade was trying to kill her as well.

The prosecution alleged that Wade launched the attack because he desired Dedier for himself and was jealous that Wahl- strom was dating her. The jury also con- victed Wade of stealing a $200,000 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder from a San Francisco dealership in 2011. But they found insufficient evidence to prove that Wade was ac- tually the burglar who broke into the dealership through an upper window and rappelled down to the car. Marin County detectives found the Lam- borghini and evidence linking Wade to both sets of crimes after tailing him to a storage locker in Richmond. Wade was ar- rested after trying to run from detectives and pull- ing a Glock handgun from his waistband.

Wade, who was charged as an adult, pleaded not guilty to the crimes and did not cooperate with au- thorities before the trial. However, a court proba- tion report released this week shows that Wade made numerous admis- sions in a recent interview with Deputy Probation Officer My Tran. According to synopsis of the inter- view, Wade admitted to shooting at truck, but said he did not think the passenger was Eva Dedier. He said he thought the passenger was brother and initially changed his mind about shooting, but then fired five shots any- way. did not intend to kill the Tran wrote, summarizing comments.

In addition, investiga- tors found a sales con- tract indicating that Wade planned to sell the Lamborghini, which be- longed to television chef Guy Fieri, for $201,500 by shipping it from the Port of Oakland to a dealership in the Dominican Repub- lic. The shipping contract carried the signature of alias, Leone an ap- parent reference to the New York mob family.

The probation report also includes a detailed description of ju- venile criminal history, which dates to September 2007, when Wade was 13. The record includes seven reports from the Tiburon Police Department and one from the former Twin Cities Police Depart- ment. The allegations included setting off a bomb in a clothing store; spraying another child in the face with an unknown substance; posting im- ages on his MySpace ac- count of a BB gun, brass knuckles, a marijuana leaf and a Ku Klux Klan emblem; punching a girl classmate between her shoulder blades; stealing journals and threat- ening to post them on the Internet; assaulting his mother; stealing his truck; and host- ing a large teen party at a Tiburon home while the actual residents were away on vacation. Wade, who went to Del Mar Middle School in Tiburon and then attend- ed Redwood High School, received a series of infor- mal probations, diversions or citations. The case has left linger- ing questions about how Wade was able to acquire the vast collection of weapons and crime para- phernalia found in the Richmond locker.

Deputy Greg Garrett, who was the lead investigator on the case, said Wade apparently financed his operations by selling marijuana and fake identifications to Marin County teens. Gar- rett said Wade generated revenue from the IDs, selling hundreds of them at $100 a pop. The Glock handgun Wade tried to pull on de- tectives during his arrest had been purchased from another young associate for $500 worth of pot, authorities said. The as- sociate, Carlos Ayala, was later convicted of selling it. As for the gun used in the Mill Valley shooting, investigators traced it to a man who said he lost it some time ago during a move in the Sacramento area.

It was unclear how it ended up hands, Garrett said. Garrett also confirmed that investigators looked hard for links between Wade and the murder of Joan Rosenthal, the 75 -year-old Tiburon woman shot to death outside her home in 2009. Investigators said Rosen- tha was apparently pushed to the ground and shot at close range, and there was no evidence of a burglary. Wade, who performed hundreds of Internet searches about the crimes for which he was convict- ed, also ran 54 searches on the Rosenthal slaying, Garrett said. Also, he was known to joke about the murder and the police.

But Wade was one of many possible angles that investigators explored, and sheriff investiga- tors neither sought charg- es against him nor ruled him out. The case is still open pending other devel- opments.

Raised in Spencer, in 1960, 24-year-old Shirley packed a duffel bag and moved to San Francisco. She worked for and joined the First Presbyterian Church where she met Mar Lancaster.

They married in 1962 and moved to Novato in 1963. Daughters followed in 1964 and 1966 which led to years of volunteering in schools, on field trips, with church youth groups, and Campfire Girls. Shirley volunteered at Hospice Hodgepodge for over 30 years. A Christian, she participat- ed in various activities and Bible studies, lived what she believed opening her home, giving of her time and money, cooking, visiting, and sim- ply loving others. When our community experienced a tragedy, Shirley attended the memo- rial, not because she knew the young girl, but because she felt the need to support those attending.

Shirley hugged crying kids for three hours that day; chil- dren she did not know but whom needed comfort. Sadly, our society would never allow this today. Shirley is survived by her husband of 52 years, Mar Lancaster, her daughters, Cindy Lancaster Lachmiller of Sonoma, Kai Karen Lancaster of Novato, and daughter, Kristen Eckhoff of Novato, her son-in-law, Rick Lachmiller, and granddaughter, Dylan Lachmiller. Shirley will be missed as she was joyful, faithful, and loving. We take com- fort knowing we will be reunited in heaven.

All are welcome to celebrate awesome life February 8th, at 11:00 AM, Presbyterian Church of No- vato (710 Wilson Ave). Lunch will follow. Bring your favorite Shirley story. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Associa- tion, Hospice By The Bay, or a charity that is close to your heart. Setsuko Ozaki Howard Feb.11, 1937 to Jan.

Sister Joanna Browne, a Dominican Sister of San Rafael for 76 years, died peacefully on January 26 at the age of 94. Born in Vallejo, Johanna Browne was one of five children of John and Nora Browne. She had three brothers, one of them her twin, and a sister, Catherine, who is also a Dominican Sister of San Rafael. Anna, as she was called in her family, enjoyed sixteen years of Dominican educa- tion, attending St. Vincent Ferrer Elementary and High School in Vallejo and Dominican College in San Rafael.

Entering the con- vent, she took the name Sister Mary Joanna. She spent thirty-six years of ministry in education, as a teacher and as a principal. She was greatly respected and appreciated in Catholic schools in Lodi, Stockton, Livermore, Los Angeles, Benicia, San Rafael, Pacific Grove, Daly City, and Hollywood. Sister Joanna spent her last three years of teaching at St. Michael School in Livermore, retiring in 1978.

Then she served as pastoral associate in St. Michael Parish for twenty-one years, creating the Golden Friends, a lively group of age fifty and older parish- ioners who enjoyed reli- gious, educational and social activities. After she relocated in 1999 to Domi- nican Convent San Rafael, Sister Joanna was always among the first to volunteer to assist any of the other sisters and in the congrega- administrative office.

But look behind that $24.9 billion wall and see a $330 billion skyline of other liabilities threatening the fi- nancial health. It includes $80 billion needed to cover pensions and $64 billion to pay for state health care in retirement two particularly troublesome liabilities because the state even making the minimum payments on them.

As a result similar to the debt of a homeowner who fails to make regu- lar mortgage payments liabilities keep growing. For exam- ple, the money needed to fully fund the California State Retire- ment System balloons by $22 million a day, or about $8 billion a year, financial analysts estimate. is an enormous financial problem that no one is willing to stand up and take care said Joe Nation, a public policy professor at Stanford Uni- versity and former Marin assemblyman. The governor acknowl- edged un- funded liability burden last week in his State of the State address, calling it and ever- In his proposed budget, he specifically calls for negotiations to resolve the teacher pen- sion issue. But he includes no money for the upcom- ing fiscal year to pay down that liability.

Nonpartisan budget analysts, however, say the state waste any more time and should start setting aside money to pay down the CalSTRS debt. Indeed, analysts say, it might be smarter to put funds toward CalSTRS rather than accelerating the payments to retire the of as Brown has chosen to do.

because the interest rates for pension liabilities are higher. On the issue of retiree health care, the state set aside money for future expenses, instead opting to directly pay the costs as they arise. But if the state started saving now for the future cost of coverage been promised to state workers in retirement, that would trigger accounting chang- es. As a result, the state could reduce its long-term liabilities by $20 billion almost immediately, said RyanMiller, a senior ana- lyst in the Legisla- tive Office. While pen- sions and retiree health care have gotten the most attention, not the only liabilities.

Almost $65 billion is needed to pay for deferred maintenance of state roadways, bridges and other infrastructure. Nearly $9 billion is owed to the federal government for unemployment ben- efits that have been bor- rowed over the years. The University of Cali- fornia pension and retir- ee health care plans are $25 billion underfunded. How it happened pension funds were not always woeful ly underfunded. In fact, in the late 1990s they were lush with cash.

The stock market was on fire and capital- gains taxes were soaring thanks to the dot-com boom, and many Cali- fornians seemed confi- dent that the state would never again have a tough time economically, Stan- Nation said. In Sacramento, Dem- ocrats controlled both houses of the Legislature in 1999, the same year a new Democratic gover- nor, Gray Davis, took of- fice after 16 years of Re- publican governors. The political alignment and about finan- cial future led lawmakers and local officials to dra- matically increase pen- sion benefits at the same time the state, cities and counties were allowed to decrease contributions to the funds. you can do is gov- ern for your Davis said in a recent inter- view. pensions were appropriate assuming we could afford it, but sub- sequent events, includ- ing the Great Recession, proved we could not af- ford it and must In the years after the dot-com bubble burst in late 2000 and early 2001, CalSTRS and the even- larger California Public Retirement System lost tens of bil- lions of dollars.

And when the global financial crisis hit in 2008, they lost tens of billions more. At CalPERS, even though the stock market eventually rebounded, investment returns since 1999 lived up to the predictions. one of the reasons the unfunded liability for the pensions of state workers and judges is $48.6 billion. Pension reform signed by Brown in 2011 re- duced pension benefits for new workers, mean- ing most of the savings will be years away. Crit- ics such as San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed, who hopes to get a pension measure on statewide ballot, have said the reform go far enough.

The way out will likely require additional pay- ments from the state, school districts, teachers and state workers, but figuring out who pays what will be tough, said Larry Gerston, a politi- cal science professor at San Jose State. Labor leaders are the and of campaign op- eration, Gerston said, so tussling with them over such a thorny issue in an election year would not be wise. you want to say about Jerry Brown, you accuse him of being fiscally irrespon- he said. the road, I expect see reform OF From page 1 From page 1.
