Chilly response to ice rink plan


Burlingame officials favor golf entertainment for driving range site
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Folks seeking a good time on


the Burlingame Bayshore should
be aiming for aces and birdies
ahead of taking slap shots or practicing skating pirouettes, claim
officials considering rejuvenating

the citys driving range.


Officials
favor
allowing
Topgolf, a modern golf entertainment attraction, to move into the
Burlingame Golf Center over a
proposal to build a new ice rink at
the site, according to a recommendation issued ahead of the City
Council meeting Tuesday, Jan. 17.

The direction comes to the chagrin of skating and hockey enthusiasts who hoped a new rink could
be built at the city-owned site, at
250 Anza Blvd., satiating the substantial local appetite for full,
fresh sheets of ice.
While we are disappointed by
the initial recommendation of the

working committee, we remain


steadfast in our belief that our proposal provides the best social and
recreational benefit to the city of
Burlingame and the Peninsula
region for residents of all ages
while still providing a healthy
revenue stream to the city of
Burlingame,
said
Michael

Strambi, founder of the MidPeninsula Ice Rink Foundation.


The nonprofit foundation has
sought a new ink rink since SPI
Holdings began working toward
demolishing the former rink in the
Bridgepointe Shopping Center in

BUENA PARK Flames poured from


the windows of a fire station on a rainy
Southern California morning, the raging blaze destroying firefighting vehicles and ravaging the building while a
crew was out on a call Thursday.
No one was injured in the fire that
broke out around 3:30 a.m. at Station 61
in the city of Buena Park near the
Knotts Berry Farm amusement park,
Orange County Fire Authority Capt.
Larry Kurtz said. Another crew housed in
the station escaped safely.
The blaze destroyed a 100-foot-long
aerial ladder truck, a battalion chief
command SUV, a pickup truck and a
swift-water rescue boat. In all, about
$1.5 million in firefighting equipment
was lost, Kurtz said.

It took more than 60 firefighters from


multiple agencies several hours to douse
the flames, which severely damaged the
station. Water pooled around crews as
they hosed down the blackened building.
The cause was under investigation. A
fire engine was away on a call when the
fire broke out, Kurtz said.
Station 61 had been earmarked to
close and make way for a new, $13 million station house nearby, the Orange
County Register newspaper reported.
The fire will not affect any requests for
firefighting or paramedic coverage in
Orange County, Kurtz told the newspaper.
We have plans in place for scenarios
like this, he said. Were a very large
organization, and we have plenty of
backup apparatus and quarters.

Auto shop owner pleads no


contest to insurance fraud
A Redwood City man was sentenced to
two years probation and 40 days in jail
after he pleaded no contest to two felony
charges of insurance fraud Thursday, said
Steve Wagstaffe, San Mateo County district attorney.
Though Uriel Lenin Sotomayor, 32,
pleaded no contest to felony charges, a
judge reduced the charges to misdemeanors
at sentencing. He will receive credit for
one day served, said Wagstaffe.
In 2010 and 2011, four individuals
brought their vehicles into Quest Auto
Collision Shop, where Sotomayor was
foreman and later owner. At one point, the
shop was renamed Premier Auto Collision
Shop. All four car owners had insurance
estimates done and payments made to the
shop, and were inspected by either the
California Bureau of Automotive Repair or
Farmers Insurance. In each of the cases,
discrepancies between the value of the
work performed and what the insurance
paid were found. In one instance, an insurance company paid for a new auto part to
be installed, but the shop repaired the part
instead and kept the difference. Sotomayor
also obtained a workers compensation
policy at a low rate based on fraudulent
representation of his shops payroll,
according to prosecutors.
From our perspective, its a very
lenient sentence, said Wagstaffe.
Sotomayor will next appear in court
Feb. 23 for restitution, which prosecutors
estimate to be between $30, 000 and
$50,000.

showed up uninvited at a baptism Sunday in
Daly City, police said.
At about 3:45 p.m., an officer was dispatched to the Holy Child and St. Martin
Episcopal Church at 777 Southgate Ave. on
a report of an individual refusing to leave
the church.
According to police, the caller said she
was attending a baptism when she saw a man
that she did not recognize. The man, however, told her that he knew one of the family
members.
After the baptism, the man followed the
party to a location where lunch was being
held and ate with the group. When the caller
realized that no one at the party knew the
man, she called police.
When an officer arrived on the scene, the
man said he was at the church because he
lived there and was also doing construction
work there, police said.
According to police, the officer noticed
the man was unable to control the movement of his fingers and was blinking uncontrollably, a possible indication that he was
under the influence. The officer asked the
man when he last used narcotics, and the
man admitted hed used methamphetamine a
few days earlier.
After some field tests, the officer determined that the man was under the influence Dino Gallardo

Educators salute state


school spending plan
Browns increased proposal pulls state closer to pre-recession spending
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Education officials offered mixed


reviews to Gov. Jerry Browns proposed increased spending on public
schools, as the state system creeps
closer to hitting funding levels
enjoyed prior to the Great Recession.
Of the proposed $179. 5 billion
spending plan for the 2017-18 fiscal
year unveiled Tuesday, Jan. 10, $73.5
billion would be set aside for K-14
public schools, marking a $2.1 billion increase from the previous year.
Though state lawmakers must first
vote to approve the budget before the
increased school spending is authorized, some state educators offered initial indications they are satisfied with
another year of enhanced investment
benefiting California students.
San Mateo County Superintendent
Anne Campbell noted in an email
Browns desire to adopt a fiscally conservative approach to managing the
states finances may have a cooling
effect on some programs.
The governor released a cautious
and conservative state budget this
week, warning that revenue growth
was lower than expected and that
California could be headed for a deficit
if we dont implement spending
delays and deferrals, she said. It
includes a significant reduction in
[Local Control Funding Formula] gap
funding to schools and does not
include any additional revenues to offset the increased cost for retirement
system payments by employers.
The Local Control Funding
Formula, or LCFF, is the financing
mechanism school districts use to
access state funding.
State Superintendent Tom Torlakson
instead lauded Browns willingness to
increase spending on schools, while
preserving his lasting commitment to
building state reserves for fear of an
economic downturn.
In a year where Californias overall
revenue is down, this is still another
positive step forward for Californias
6.2 million public school students,

he said in a prepared statement. The
governors proposed budget continues
to invest more in helping students
succeed on their way to 21st century
careers and college.
Under the proposed budget, perpupil spending stands to jump by
$300 from the year prior to $10,900.
In all, the total education investment
is roughly $26 billion more than the
amount during the depths of the Great
Recession.
State lawmakers are expected to
spend the coming months dissecting
the proposal before approving it for
Brown to sign, as a budget is required
to be passed by the end of June.
Though the increased investment
marks a significant jump in funding
for schools over the past several
years, more work stands to be done to
make California competitive with the
rest of the nation in terms of matching
dollars to students, Susan Henry, president of the California School Boards
Association, said in a prepared statement.
In this budget, Gov. Brown has
reiterated his commitment to invest in
the future of Californias transportation infrastructure, she said.
However, Californias students are
our states human infrastructure, and
we must invest in them as well.
Henry cited rising pension costs as
a primary concern regarding the state
school systems financial health.
Recognizing that these costs will
continue increasing at a much higher
rate than previously projected, it is
incumbent upon the state to protect
the Proposition 98 guarantee and to
move toward an adequate level of funding for our schools, she said.
Proposition 98 is the voter
approved initiative requiring a minimum of the states budget to be spent
on the public school system. A portion of the increased money available

for schools is available through the


fall passage of Proposition 55,
extending income tax hikes to fund
public education.
Student advocacy organization
Children Now also sought more
accommodations to be woven into the
budget for early education, as studies
show school access to preschool can
go far to setting up students for academic success later in life.
These investments are essential to
children and families, and research
clearly shows that early learning programs are some of the most cost-effective investments that government can
make in the future of our children, Ted
Lempert, president of Children Now,
said in an email. Lempert is also on
the San Mateo County Board of
Education.
Some local school officials were not
as critical though, under the impression the increased funding may not
have a profound impact on daily operations.
While the governors budget provides roughly $400 million in additional funds systemwide, the increase
to our district will be nominal, said
Mitch Bailey, spokesman for the San
Mateo County Community College
District. We anticipate modest
increases in one-time funds for classroom equipment and for deferred maintenance on facilities at our three colleges.
Campbell though said locally officials will be dedicated to working
through the financial hurdles and
potentially the oncoming budget
slowdown.
Although this reflects the governors commitment for the state to live
within its means, the slowdown will
certainly have an impact on school
district budgets and, in turn, the programs districts are able to offer; however, we remain committed to providing the best possible services to our
states most important resource: its
students, she said.

The unknown about


pots health effects
By Malcolm Ritter
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK It can almost certainly ease chronic pain


and might help some people sleep, but it may also raise the
risk of getting schizophrenia and trigger heart attacks.
Those are among the conclusions about marijuana reached
by a federal advisory panel in a report released Thursday.
The experts also called for a national effort to learn more
about marijuana and its chemical cousins, including similarly acting compounds called cannabinoids.
The current lack of scientific information poses a public
health risk, said the report, from the National Academies
of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine. Patients, health
care professionals and policy makers need more evidence to
make sound decisions, it said.
For marijuana users or those considering it, theres very
little to guide them on amounts and health risks, said Dr.
Marie McCormick of the Harvard School of Public Health,
who headed the committee.
Several factors have limited research. While the federal
government has approved some medicines containing
ingredients found in marijuana, it still classifies marijuana
as illegal and imposes restrictions on research. So scientists have to jump through bureaucratic hoops that some
find daunting, the report said.
A federal focus on paying for studies of potential harms
has also hampered research into possible health benefits,
the report said. The range of marijuana products available
for study has also been restricted, although the government
is expanding the number of approved suppliers.
Twenty-eight states and the District of Columbia have
legalized marijuana for a variety of medical uses, and eight
of those states plus the district have also legalized it for
recreational use.

CNN at war with Trump
over what reporting unleashed
PASADENA A week before the inauguration, CNN is at
war with an incoming president, not necessarily for what it
reported but for what its reporting
unleashed.
For all the noise accusations of fake
news, the confrontation between Donald
Trump and CNNs Jim Acosta at a news
conference, false claims about what CNN
had reported or linked to that realization emerged toward the end of a remarkable 25-minute televised confrontation
between Anderson Cooper and Trump
Donald Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway.
When it reported on Tuesday that
national intelligence officials had informed the presidentelect that the Russians had collected a dossier on his behavior, CNN did not specifically detail what that behavior was
because it couldnt vouch for its veracity. But it was CNN that
gave BuzzFeed the cover to do so, Conway said.
You got the party started, she said.
The question is raised: if one person unlocks a box and
walks away, is that person responsible when someone else
opens the box and removes its unsavory contents?
The dossier was reportedly prepared by a former Western
spy as part of a political opposition research effort, and
detailed supposed efforts by Russian intelligence to compromise Trump during visits to Moscow. Its existence and contents became known by some Washington leaders last fall,
while the presidential campaign was still going on.

Watchdog to probe Comeys,


FBIs actions before election
WASHINGTON In yet another aftershock from the
chaotic presidential campaign, the Justice Department
inspector general opened an investigation Thursday into department and FBI
actions before the election, including
whether FBI Director James Comey followed established policies in the email
investigation of Hillary Clinton.
Democrats have blamed Comeys handling of the inquiry into Clintons use of a
private email server, and his late-October
public letter about the case, in part for her
James Comey loss to Republican Donald Trump.
Workers are now putting final touches
on preparations for next weeks Inauguration Day festivities,
and the new probe will not change the election results. But it
revives questions of whether the FBI took actions that might
have influenced the outcome.
Inspector General Michael Horowitz, the departments
internal watchdog, will direct the investigation, which
comes in response to requests from members of Congress and
the public.
Comey said he was pleased about the review and the FBI
would cooperate fully with the inspector general.

Obama ends visa-free path


for Cubans who make it to U.S. soil
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama announced
Thursday he is ending a longstanding immigration policy
that allows any Cuban who makes it to U.S. soil to stay and
become a legal resident.
The repeal of the wet foot, dry foot policy is effective
immediately. The decision follows months of negotiations
focused in part on getting Cuba to agree to take back people
who had arrived in the U.S.
Effective immediately, Cuban nationals who attempt to
enter the United States illegally and do not qualify for humanitarian relief will be subject to removal, consistent with U.S.
law and enforcement priorities, Obama said in a statement.
By taking this step, we are treating Cuban migrants the
same way we treat migrants from other countries. The Cuban
government has agreed to accept the return of Cuban nationals who have been ordered removed, just as it has been
accepting the return of migrants interdicted at sea.

Barack Obama presents the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Joe Biden in the State Dining Room of the White House.

In tearful farewell, Obama awards


Biden with the Medal of Freedom
By Josh Lederman Vivian Salama
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON At the dusk of both


of their political careers, surrounded by
teary friends and family, President
Barack Obama on Thursday bestowed
the Presidential Medal of Freedom on
Joe Biden, the man he called the finest
vice president we have ever seen.
The vice president winced in shock
as Obama announced he was conferring
the nations highest civil honor on his
right-hand-man for eight years. Biden
turned away from the cameras, wiped
away some tears, then stood stoically
as Obama draped the blue-and-white
ribbon around his neck.
I just hope that the asterisk in history that is attached to my name when
they talk about this presidency is that I
can say I was part of the journey of a
remarkable man who did remarkable

things for this country, Biden said.


There were standing ovations several of them at what had been billed
as a modest farewell ceremony for
Biden but evolved into a surprise
bestowal of the Medal of Freedom, the
last time Obama will present the
honor.
I had no idea, Biden said of the
award, insisting he didnt deserve it.
It was the only time Obama has presented the medal with distinction,
also awarded only once by each of the
previous three presidents.
One week out from the Obama administrations end, a deep sense of nostalgia set in at the White House as longtime staffers pack up their offices, send
out their last emails and bid farewell to
the president theyve served. On
Tuesday, Obama returned home to
Chicago to deliver his valedictory
address, and next week hell depart

Washington as ex-president just after


President-elect Donald Trump is sworn
in.
Obama, joined Thursday by his wife
and daughters, was effusive in his
praise for the man who ran against him
in 2008, then agreed to be his running
mate. He said Biden had made him a better president, calling him a lion of
American history.
To know Joe Biden is to know love
without pretense, service without selfregard and to live life fully, Obama
said.
The famously plainspoken Biden has
long said he only agreed to the job after
Obama agreed he would be the last person in the room before major decisions
were made. Over two terms, they developed a bond that both men said transcended the office, with their wives,
children and Bidens grandchildren
becoming close friends.

Biden: Intel officials told us Trump allegations might leak


By Josh Lederman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Vice President Joe


Biden said Thursday that top intelligence leaders told him and President
Barack Obama they felt obligated to
inform them about uncorroborated
allegations about President-elect
Donald Trump out of concern the information would become public and catch
them off-guard.
In an interview, Biden said neither

he nor Obama asked U.S. intelligence


agencies to try to corroborate the
unverified claims that Russia had
obtained compromising sexual and
financial allegations about Trump.
I think its something that obviously the agency thinks they have to
track down, Biden said. He added later,
It surprised me in that it made it to the
point where the agency, the FBI
thought they had to pursue it.
In the hourlong session with the
Associated Press and other news outlets, the vice president was sharply

critical of Trump for publicly disparaging intelligence officials, saying


Trump was damaging U.S. standing
and playing into Russias hands. He
also took umbrage at Trumps comments accusing intelligence agencies
of allowing the information to leak
publicly and drawing a comparison to
living in Nazi Germany.
The one thing you never want to
invoke is Nazi Germany, no matter
what the circumstances, Biden said.
Its an overwhelming diversion from
the point youre trying to make.

Trumps Pentagon pick cruises


toward a likely confirmation
By Robert Burns
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Retired Gen. James


Mattis on Thursday cruised toward likely
confirmation as Donald Trumps defense
secretary, overwhelmingly prevailing in a
Senate vote granting him an exemption to
run the Pentagon as a recently retired officer. At his confirmation hearing, he called
Russia the nations No. 1 security threat,
accusing its leader of trying to break
NATO.
The Senate voted 81-17 to approve legislation overriding a prohibition against former U.S. service members who have been
out of uniform less than seven years from
holding the Defense Departments top job.
The restriction is meant to preserve civilian
control of the military. The House is schedule to vote on Friday.
Mattis, 66, spent four decades in uniform,
retiring in 2013 with a reputation as an
effective combat leader and an astute strategist. Separate from the override legislation,

the Senate will vote later


on Mattis nomination,
which is seen as all but
certain to be confirmed.
The only other exception to the rule was made
for the legendary George
Marshall in 1950, the
year Mattis was born.
James Mattis Even some of Trumps
strongest critics have
supported the waiver for Mattis, arguing
that his experience and temperament can
serve as a steadying influence on a new president with no experience in national security.
At an uncontentious confirmation hearing, Mattis sketched an international security scene dominated by dark images of an
aggressive Russia, resurgent China and violent Mideast. He described Iran as a major
destabilizing force, called North Korea a
potential nuclear threat and said the U.S.
military needs to grow larger and readier for
combat.

University system creates post


to deal with sexual violence T

SAN FRANCISCO The University of


California has created a new post for a Title
IX coordinator to oversee efforts across its
10 campuses to tackle sexual violence and
harassment after a string of cases involving
faculty members.
The UC named current UCLA Title IX officer Kathleen Salvaty, an attorney, to the new
job that includes overseeing investigations
into complaints of discrimination and
harassment and also sanctioning faculty or
students who violate campus policies.

Under the new policy, all regents now

UC system tuition hikes


Other voices

San Diego Union-Tribune

he leaders of the University of


California system unsatised
with funding provided by Gov.
Jerry Brown and the state Legislature and
interested in ambitious new initiatives
are seeking signicant tuition hikes. For
the 2017-18 school year, the 10-campus
UC system wants a 2.5 percent increase in
in-state tuition, to $11,502, and a 5 percent increase in the student services fee, to
$1,128.
But the governor and lawmakers should
oppose any increases until they get meaningful answers to a meaty question: How
does the UC system justify the explosion
in its number of administrators?
In 2000, according to a 2015 Los
Angeles Times report, UC had about 50
percent more faculty members than administrators and managers. But the number of
administrators and managers passed the
number of faculty in 2011, and, as of 2015,
there were 10,539 administrators and managers and 8,899 tenured or tenure-track faculty. By contrast, in 2014, in the 23-campus California State University system,
there were 10,099 tenured or tenure-track

faculty and 3,726 administrators and managers, according to a California Faculty


Association study.
So UC needs nearly three times as many
administrators for its 238,000 students
than CSU does for its 460,000? Why? UC
ofcials say the biggest growth has been
in UCs self-supporting system of medical
centers. They also say increased enrollment has required adding administrators and
managers. But that still doesnt explain
why UC needs more than twice as many
such ofcials now as it did in 2000.
Charles Schwartz, a retired UC Berkeley
professor who has studied UC nances for a
quarter-century, notes that there has been
huge growth in UC employees in the supervisor category, especially on the staffs of
chancellors, deputy chancellors and deans.
Who, Schwartz asks, are they supervising?
The proliferation of college bureaucrats
has not been limited to UC; it follows a
national pattern. Johns Hopkins professor
Benjamin Ginsbergs 2011 book, The Fall
of the Faculty: The Rise of the All-

Administrative University and Why It


Matters, coined the term deanlets to
describe those in the job category that
Schwartz cited.
Scholars who have studied the subject
think theyve zeroed in on whats causing
this: the political science theory of
empire-building. Leaders believe their
organizations gain more prestige and
power the bigger they get. They resist
attempts to scrutinize whether the growth
is sensible or defensible on the grounds
that of course they know best.
That certainly sounds like the UC under
President Janet Napolitano. Even though
state leaders are so frustrated with the
murky nancial reporting from their agship university system that theyve ordered
seven audits of UC since 2012, UC glides
along, impervious to its obligations to
elected leaders and taxpayers alike. Last
year, UC even issued an ofcial accountability report largely focused on its
accomplishments instead of concerns
about administrative bloat or vague nancial statements.
Brown and the Legislature should not tolerate this irresponsibility. The state budget
is their lever to force change. Lets get on
with it.

Mayor David Limrecently sent out an

andSAMCAR [the San Mateo County
Association of Realtors]to ask for a
blank check to build as much as they want
and as fast as they want. Im not sure
where my fellowcouncilmembersare on
this. Im for reasonable growth, but not
for unrestricted growth that impacts traffic and adversely affects our neighborhoods.
Residents should be on red alert with all
development coming down the pike,
including theHillsdaleTerraces project,
which is up for a City Council vote Jan.
17. In 1991, concerned San Mateo voters
passed a measure to reduce new development density and height. When that measure expired, voters renewed it in 2004,
particularly setting building heights at 55
feet. Limswarning is no joke, with
theHillsdaleTerraces project being
passed through our Planning Commission
with a top height of 71 feet, not to mention the fact that extremely limited parking planned for the development has
locals infuriated.
I plan to attend the meeting on Jan. 17

Shame on feckless city officials


Editor,
On Jan. 5, 2017, a 57-year-old
Docktown resident, Thomas Howard, who
lived on the most historic Docktown
floating home, died of a heart attack in
the parking lot in front of his Docktown
home. The harassment and threats of eviction by the Redwood City Council and
their agents had everything to do with his
death. He expressed to me many times the
stress he was under due to the city. He was
a young man.
The Redwood City Council is not content to destroy Docktown; now they are
murdering citizens. They have blood on
their hands. Shame, shame, a thousand
times shame on the feckless city officials. There are multiple remedies for
Docktowns status, but the city staff has
not embraced them.

much to help the greater community and a
wonderful friend to everyone. He deserved
better. Will it take a suicide to wake city

occupied territories. Second, it is Israel that
sets conditions for negotiations, not the
Palestinians.
Thus, even though the Palestinians long
ago recognized the state of Israel, Israel now
insists that it must recognize Israel as a
Jewish state. It is a given for the Israelis that
at least the larger settlements and East
Jerusalem will remain part of Israel. Finally,
direct negotiations with Israel have only led
to further loss of land and ethnic cleansing.
Negotiations are a g leaf for Israel, by
which it can look like it is negotiating for
peace while expanding its presence in the
West Bank. As Uri Avnery, the Israeli peace
activist and author has stated, Israel is negotiating over a pizza while it continues to
consume the pizza.

Legacy of passion
and leadership

alcolm Gladwell said it took


10,000 hours to become an
expert in something which, at
20 hours a week, would take 10 years. At 40
hours a week, it would take ve years.
So considering that Larry Teshara has
been an educator in San Mateo County, the
bulk of it at the San Mateo Union High
School District, I suppose that would make
him an expert
times 10.
And by spending just a few
minutes with
him, that
becomes abundantly clear.
This man
knows what he
is talking
about.
Combine that
with the
patience of a
saint, a tremendous sense of
good-natured
and sometimes self-effacing humor, the
insight of a sage and a passion for the work
he has been immersed in for so long and
you have quite an educator. Not only that,
but you have a strong pillar of a community.
So when he announced he was retiring
this year, I wasnt really surprised because,
well, all good things must come to an end.
In fact, I had heard he would be celebrating
his 50th year in education in February and
thought it might make a good feature story.
The retirement beat me to the punch.
I dont recall exactly when I rst met Larry
Teshara, it might have been when Al Gore
came as a presidential candidate to the San
Mateo Adult School. But I had known of
Teshara, known to most as Mr. T, before
that since he was my wifes principal at
Burlingame High School in the early
1990s. He was one of those principals who
had an impact on people because he cared
about them, and wanted to make a difference
in their lives. I know too he had a profound
inuence on my wifes brother, who carries
Mr. Ts lessons with him to this day.
My experience with him was primarily
through the San Mateo Adult School, which
he has led for about 20 years. It was through
his passion for the facility that I developed
my own passion for it recognizing its
virtues and becoming one of its defenders
from potential changes. Those changes
included moving it to make way for another
school or even a state proposal to move
adult education from K-12 districts to community colleges. The fact of the matter is
that adult schools in general and the San
Mateo Adult School specically are critical
entry points for the many students who rely
on the programs to gain access to language
and computer skills, basic education and
other unique programs. The San Mateo Adult
School serves about 8,000 students who are
looking to better themselves and their place
in the community. Immigrants in particular
benet from new English skills and citizenship classes. While the adult school does
not have the arsenal of concerned parents
traditional schools have, they have had a
strong advocate in Larry Teshara, who was
always kind enough to extol its virtues with
real-life examples at the ready.
That advocacy resonated with me, in part
because it was genuine, and also because it
was true. If it werent for someone like him
to show me, I wouldnt have necessarily
considered it. Thats the power of leadership
and passion.
And while I wish he could serve the community for another 50 years, I recognize
that is impossible. But there is a strong
legacy established that I simply do not have
the words to describe as I am just one of
thousands who have been changed for the
better by the work of this man and his thousands and thousands of hours he has given
to us all.

Financial companies lead stocks lower; oil rises

Banks and other financial companies led U.S. stocks modestly


lower Thursday, wiping out much
of the markets gains from a day
earlier.
Phone companies, real estate,
utilities and health care stocks
eked out gains. Energy, technology and other stocks that posted
big gains in the weeks after the
November election lost ground.
Hess slumped 4. 8 percent and
chipmaker Micron Technology
fell 2.1 percent.
Banks, which moved sharply
higher through much of the postelection rally in November and
December, were hurt by a drop in
bond yields, which can push down
interest rates on loans, squeezing
banks profits.
The market has been running
pretty nicely this year, so this is
just a little bit of a pullback, a little bit of a consolidation, said
Troy Logan, managing director at
Warren
Financial
Service.
Anything that has run well postelection has pulled back somewhat today.
The Dow Jones industrial average slid 63.28 points, or 0.3 percent, to 19,891. The average had

composite snapped a seven-day
winning streak that delivered five
consecutive record highs. On
Thursday, the index fell 16. 16
points, or 0. 3 percent, to
5,547.49.
The markets slide came as
investors looked ahead to several
weeks of companies reporting
their latest quarterly results. That
begins Friday, when several major
banks are due to report earnings,
including Bank of America,

JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo.


The latest drop in bond yields
weighed on bank stocks Thursday.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury
slipped to 2.36 percent from 2.37
percent late Wednesday.
Beyond that, some traders may
have also been selling bank
stocks to lock in the sectors
recent gains ahead of Fridays

Amazon plans to hire 100,000 over the next 18 months


By Mae Anderson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Amazon plans to hire


100,000 full-time workers over the next 18
months, highlighting its ambitious expansion plans and the sharp contrast the ecommerce powerhouse strikes against traditional brick-and-mortar retailers, many of
which are cutting jobs and closing stores.
Amazon has long been known for investing the money it makes back into its businesses, and its doing that with a

vengeance. The new hires will largely support new Amazon fulfillment centers in
states such as Texas and California, expanded delivery capabilities and its moneyminting Amazon Web Services cloud computing business.
The numbers are generally in line with
Amazons past hiring plans. Amazon,
which had a total of 306,800 full-time and
part-time employees globally at the end of
September, hired a total of 123,700 globally during the 15 months ended in
September, according to quarterly filings.

AMAZON HITS THE GAS


Amazon said Thursday its
U.S. workforce has grown
from 30,000 in 2011 to over
180,000 at the end of 2016.
By comparison, Walmart
the worlds largest retailer
employs about 2.4 million
people worldwide, including
1.5 million workers in the
U.S.
Baird
analyst
Colin
Sebastian said the announce-

ment shows that Amazons hiring appears


to be accelerating.
We view this announcement positively
in terms of the current trajectory of
Amazons businesses, as well as managements confidence in the long-term outlook, he said. The hiring is consistent
with our view that Amazon will continue to
invest aggressively in its retail, media,
technology and logistics businesses.

TRUMP OR NO TRUMP?
The news comes a month after Presidentelect Donald Trump met with tech leaders,
including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
Throughout the presidential election campaign Trump and Bezos clashed after Trump
attacked Bezos and The Washington Post,
which Bezos owns. But they appeared to
make nice when Bezos attended the meeting
in December.
Sean Spicer, the incoming White House
press secretary, noted in a call with
reporters on Thursday that Amazon made the
announcement after the meeting, when
Trump urged tech leaders to keep jobs in the
U.S.

WASHINGTON A next step for


smart watches and fitness trackers?
Wearable gadgets gave a Stanford
University professor an early warning
that he was getting sick before he ever
felt any symptoms of Lyme disease.
Geneticist Michael Snyder never had
Lymes characteristic bulls-eye rash.
But a smart watch and other sensors
charted changes in Snyders heart rate
and oxygen levels during a family vacation. Eventually a fever struck that led
to his diagnosis.
Say wearables, and step-counting
fitness trackers spring to mind. Its not
clear if they really make a difference in
users health. Now Snyders team at
Stanford is starting to find out, tracking the everyday lives of several dozen
volunteers wearing devices that monitor more than mere activity.
He envisions one day having wearables that act as a sort of check
engine light indicating its time to see
the doctor.
One way to look at this is, these are

Spicer said that Trump was pleased to


play a role in the job gains. Amazon did
not immediately respond to a request to
comment on what role, if any, Trump had in
the jobs announcement.
Bairds Sebastian downplayed the politics factor, noting only that the online
retailer may have deployed some political
capital in the timing and details of its
announcement.
We suspect there is little, if any, shift of
employment at Amazon from international
locations to the U.S., he said. Moreover,
we expect the pace of hiring internationally
to accelerate as well.

MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE STORE


Things are much less rosy at traditional
brick-and-mortar retailers. Last week, the
Limited said it would close all its stores and
Macys moved forward with plans to close
68 stores and said it will cut more than
10,000 jobs. There have been unconfirmed
reports Walmart is also planning layoffs.
The move from bricks to clicks is causing major disruption in the retail industry,

Court revives suit alleging


Apple monopoly on iPhone apps
SAN FRANCISCO A federal
appeals court has revived a lawsuit
accusing Apple of having an illegal
monopoly on the sale of iPhone apps.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
said Thursday the plaintiffs have the
right to sue Apple because they purchased apps directly from the company.
Apple had argued that it did not sell
apps, but instead acted as an intermediary used by the app developers.
The ruling overturned a lower court
decision dismissing the lawsuit.

An email to Apple was not immediately returned.

In VW case, US takes aim at


employees, not just corporation
WASHINGTON Six high-level
Volkswagen employees from Germany
have been indicted in the U.S. in the
automakers emissions-cheating scandal as prosecutors made good on efforts
to charge individuals in a corporate corruption case.
But bringing them to trial in the U.S.
is another matter.
In announcing the federal charges and
a corporate plea bargain by
Volkswagen, Justice Department prosecutors on Wednesday detailed a large
and elaborate scheme inside the German
automaker to commit fraud and then
cover it up, with at least 40 employees
allegedly involved in destroying evidence.
The company agreed to plead guilty
to criminal charges and pay $4.3 billion by far the biggest fine ever
levied by the government against an
automaker.

Dons, Cats settle for draw


By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The consensus among the Woodside and


Aragon girls soccer coaches following
their teams scoreless draw Thursday was:
hey, a tie beats a loss.
Knowing that every point gained this
season during PAL play will be crucial to
winning a division title or even an automatic Central Coast Section berth three
points for a win, one for a tie both
Woodside coach Jose Navarrete and
Aragons Nick Dye were more or less satisfied coming away with a point.

The Dons were playing their first game


since before Christmas, having their opener against Burlingame rained out Tuesday.
The lack of time together showed as they
struggled to find a rhythm.
Rhythm and routine is huge, Dye said.
And even though Woodside is going
through a rebuilding stage this season, Dye
admitted the four-time defending PAL
champ still has a target on its back.
Woodside is still a name and we got a
point off them, Dye said.
Woodsides Navarrete said calling this
season a rebuild for his side would be kind.
If it was a rebuilding year, wed be in
great shape, Navarrete said.

Not only did the Wildcats graduate the


leagues all-time leading scorer in Jilliene
Aguilera, they lost five more players to
injury players expected to have an
impact.
Add in a tough preseason schedule and the
fact the Wildcats didnt get their first win of
the season until they beat Capuchino in the
Bay Division opener 1-0 Tuesday,
Navarrete will take every point he can get.
No one is expecting us to do anything,
Navarrete said. A win is always good, but
Aragon is a good team and we played
Aragon to a tie.

Curry, Durant and Thompson scored at

13th time this season. The Warriors notched
their NBA-leading 27th game with 30 or
more assists.
Thompson shot 9 for 15 after sitting out
Tuesday night against Miami because he
was worn down after playing through illness for two games.
Its good for me in the long run. Its been
a long couple of years, Thompson said.
Ian Clark hit 3-pointers 7.9 seconds apart
in the final minute of the opening period
and finished with 14 points for his second
consecutive game in double figures and
ninth in all.
The Warriors won their seventh straight at
home against the Pistons dating to Feb. 27,
2010. It is Golden States longest home
winning streak against Detroit, topping a
six-game run from 1974-76.
The 21 lead changes in the first half were
the most in any half this season, the
Warriors said, citing research by the Elias
Sports Bureau.
Zaza Pachulia had made 19 straight free
throws before a miss with 31.8 seconds left
before halftime ending the third-longest

Rising PGA Tour star Thomas joins 59 club

HONOLULU Fresh of his victory on


Maui, Justin Thomas became the seventh
player to join the 59 Club on the PGA Tour
when he made a 15-foot eagle putt on his last
hole Thursday at the Sony Open for an 11under 59.
Thomas thought his hopes at a 59 were over

when his drive on the par5 ninth hole at Waialae


Country Club was a foot
from clearing a fairway
bunker on the left and
rolled back into the sand.
He figured he couldnt
reach the green until realizing Daniel Berger hit 4Justin Thomas iron from the bunker onto

the green.
Thomas figured this wasnt a time to lay
up.
He hit 5-iron clean and pure, and it settled
15 feet below the cup. Wasting little time over
the putt, he poured it in for 59 and lightly
pumped his fist. The excitement came from
Berger and Jordan Spieth, and only when
Thomas looked at their reaction did it begin to
sink in.

LOS ANGELES The Chargers were the


biggest story in Los Angeles for about four
hours.
On the same rainy Thursday that the
Chargers announced their relocation up the
Southern California coast, the Los Angeles
Rams hired 30-year-old Sean McVay to
become the youngest head coach in NFL
history.
Welcome to LA, Bolts. Youre no longer
the greatest show in town.
While their franchise value soars and their
stadium future becomes secure, the Chargers
realize they face a lengthy struggle to gather respect, attention and a durable fan base
among the roughly 19 million people who
inhabit the five counties around Los
Angeles, the nations second-largest city.
Chargers owner Dean Spanos first public
comments acknowledged the difficulty of
the task theyve accepted in leaving San
Diego after 56 years.
Our entire organization knows that we
have a tremendous amount of work to do,
Spanos said. We must earn the respect and
support of LA football fans. We must get
back to winning. And we must make a meaningful contribution, not just on the field,
but off the field as a leader and champion for
the community. The Chargers are determined to fight for LA, and we are excited to
get started.
Indeed, the Chargers are entering quite a
competition.
The Chargers relocated exactly one year
to the day after the NFLs 21-year absence
from LA ended with the Rams official move
back to town. The Southland will be home
to two teams apiece in five professional
sports after Major League Soccers expansion LAFC arrives downtown next year.
The wildly popular Lakers and Dodgers
rule their respective calendar months. The
Clippers, Kings and Anaheim Ducks are
perennial playoff teams. The Los Angeles
Angels drew 3 million fans last season
while losing 88 games.
There are collegiate athletics powerhouses at USC and UCLA, along with innumerable outdoor sporting pursuits around an
entertainment-saturated metropolis that
doesnt get obsessed with sports in the first
place.
Even among die-hard NFL fans, the
Chargers will be at least a distant thirdplace team in their two-team market next
fall. The Rams have a generational fan base
that never gave up on them during 21 years
in St. Louis, and the Raiders are still wildly
popular in Los Angeles from their 1982-94

Even among die-hard NFL fans,


the Chargers will be at least a
distant third-place team in their
two-team market next fall. The
Rams have a generational fan
base that never gave up on
them during 21 years in St. Louis,
and the Raiders are still wildly
popular in Los Angeles from
their 1982-94 run at the
Coliseum.
run at the Coliseum along with that outlaw franchises status as a California
lifestyle brand as much as a sports team.
But one intriguing aspect of the Chargers
machinations is their choice to play their
next two seasons at StubHub Center, the LA
Galaxys compact soccer stadium in suburban Carson. Even with an expansion in
capacity to 30,000 seats, it will be small by
NFL standards or even by some Texas
high school football standards.
The Chargers and the Galaxys owners,
sports conglomerate AEG, have plans for
expansion and improvement of the modest
facilities around StubHub. Yet playing in a
small stadium should protect the Chargers
from the unpleasant optics of thousands of
empty seats while they attempt to build a
fan base.
The Raiders annual road game against the
AFC West rival Chargers should be a fascinating sight this fall, but the Chargers hope
theyll benefit from their temporary home
by providing an unusually intimate setting
for fans and whatever ticket prices the
market will bear.
I would like to commend the Chargers on
this bold and innovative decision to move
to StubHub Center, AEG President and CEO
Dan Beckerman said. It is truly a testament
to how strongly the Chargers feel about the
fan experience and their willingness to create something special for people in
Southern California.
The Rams were ripped on social media and

UConn streak among


best in sports history
By Pat Eaton-Robb
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

STORRS, Conn. UConns womens basketball team is on the verge of winning its
91st straight game, which would break its own
NCAA Division I record that was set between
2008 and 2010. The Huskies play Saturday at
SMU, a team that is 10-6 and just lost to
Tulane. UConns streak ranks among the most
impressive in sports, but there are plenty of
others. Heres a look at some of them:

Trinity-Squash
UConns women dont own the longest winning streak in college sports history, or even
in the state of Connecticut. That streak
belongs to the Trinity mens squash team. The
Bantams won 252 consecutive matches,
including 13 national championships,
between February 1998 and January, 2012,
when they lost to rival Yale.

Wayland Baptist-Womens basketball


The Huskies also dont own the longest
streak in womens college basketball.
Wayland Baptist in Plainview, Texas, won
131 straight between 1953 and 1958, when
the Flying Queens finally lost in the AAU
national semifinals to their rivals, the
Nashville Business College. Their streak
included four straight AAU national championships.

UCLA-Mens basketball
UConns streaks are most often compared to
the 88-game benchmark put up by John
Wooden and the UCLA men between 1971 and
1974. There are parallels. Both programs are
considered the best in the history of their
sport. UCLA won 10 titles during the Wooden
era. UConn and Auriemma have 11. UCLA
won the final three of its seven consecutive
titles during the winning streak. UConn has
won four straight, two during the streak.

Oklahoma-College football
Oklahoma went more than three seasons
without losing or tying a game. Their 47 con-

secutive wins between 1953 and 1957 is seven


games longer than the second longest major
college football streak, put up by Washington
between 1908 and 1914. Alabama, by comparison, won 26 straight before losing to
Clemson on Monday.

New England Patriots-NFL


New England won 21 straight games
between October 2003 and October 2004,
including two playoff games and a Super Bowl
(32-29 over Carolina). The Patriots streak
was broken in 2004 by Pittsburgh. But the
Patriots recovered to go 14-2 that season and
beat the Eagles for a second consecutive title.

Edwin Moses-Track and field


Moses holds perhaps the most impressive
individual winning streak. The two-time
Olympic champion hurdler won 122 consecutive 400-meter races, including 107 straight
finals between August 1977 and June 1987.
Moses was 31 years old when he lost to fellow
American Danny Harris, who was 10 years
younger, at a meet in Spain.

Byron Nelson-Golf
Byron Nelson dominated the PGA Tour in
1945, winning 18 tournaments, including an
unprecedented 11 in a row. The closest any
other golfer has come to that record is seven
straight, accomplished by Tiger Woods 2006
and 2007.

Martina Mavratilova-Tennis
Martina Navratilova won 74 straight matches in 1984, including 13 straight tournaments. She also holds the doubles streak
record with Pam Shriver. The pair won 109
straight matches between 1983 and 1985.

Vonn taking a lot of risk


returning with broken arm
By Eric Willemsen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALTENMARKT-ZAUCHENSEE, Au stria
Lindsey Vonn is taking a lot of risk of
doing more damage to her right arm when
she returns to World Cup skiing this weekend, nine weeks after breaking her right
upper arm.
Surgery has made the arm more vulnerable
to another fracture if she has to break a fall,
the four-time overall champion said on
Thursday.
For the rest of my career there will definitely be a lot of risk, Vonn said. The plate
is stable but obviously above the plate my
arm is susceptible to
another fracture. As I
have already a plate in
there, it becomes a very
complicated surgery if I
were to do that.
Vonn would have to fly
back immediately to the
clinic in Vail, Colorado,
Lindsey Vonn where she underwent surgery in November, in
case it happens.
They have to be either taking out the
plate and do another plate, or two plates on
top of each other, the American said. That
is a very complicated surgery.
Vonn suffered the injury in a training crash
on Copper Mountain, Colorado, while
recovering from a left knee injury that ended
her last season prematurely in February.
Late Wednesday, Vonn revealed she struggled with nerve damage so severe she couldnt even move her fingers soon after the surgery in November. She posted a 5 1/2-minute
video on her Facebook page which showed
glimpses of her nine-week rehab. The video
had more than one million views the following day.
Vonn said on Thursday she was very

scared whether she would be able to use her


hand in a normal way again. Two months
later, she was still hampered in daily life by
its reduced mobility, but was able to hold her
ski pole as the grip is strong.
In races, she was not planning to wear special protection except for double paddings
under her race suit.
Its certainly not going to be aerodynamic but it will be protective somewhat, Vonn
said.
A record 76-time winner, Vonns return was
postponed for a day after downhill training
was canceled on Thursday because of bad
weather. The final training was scheduled for
Friday, though more snowfall was forecast.
I am going crazy if we are not able to
race, said Vonn, who was accompanied by
one of her dogs, spaniel Lucy, during a news
conference. As it was broadcast live on
Austrian TV, she answered most questions in
German.
Asked about her goals, Vonn said she
believed she could still win the downhill and
super-G title despite missing half of the season.
I really look at it with the perspective of
last year, she said. I won the downhill title
and I didnt finish in two races and I missed
one. There are three (downhill) races I missed
so far this season and only two super-G
races. I definitely think its possible.
It depends how Ilka (Stuhec) and Lara
(Gut) do, but if I can consistently be fast,
then I have a good chance.
The knee fractures and broken arm were the
latest setbacks in a career that has been
marred by injuries. Various injuries forced
her out of the world championships in 2007,
11 and 13, and she missed the 2014 Sochi
Olympics. Still, Vonn said she would compete as long as ski racing brings her joy.
To me ski racing is like air: I need it, the
adrenalin, the speed, she said. I love it
more than anything else.

Harlem Globetrotters
The games were a lot more exhibition than
competition, but the Harlem Globetrotters lay
claim to an 8,829-game winning streak that
ran between 1971 and 1995. The streak was
ended in Vienna, Austria by an all-star team led
by Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Rams make McVay youngest head coach ever in NFL


By Greg Beacham
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES The Los Angeles Rams


have made Sean McVay the youngest head
coach in modern NFL history, and he
appears to be getting some experienced
help.
The Rams on Thursday hired McVay, who
turns 31 on Jan. 24. Several hours later,
ESPN.com reported the Rams have finalized
a deal with 69-year-old Wade Phillips to be
their defensive coordinator, although the
team declined to confirm it.
McVay has been the Washington
Redskins offensive coordinator since 2014.
He will replace Jeff Fisher, who was fired 13
games into the Rams homecoming season
in Los Angeles, and interim head coach John
Fassel, who led the Rams to a 4-12 finish in
their 13th consecutive non-winning season.
The accomplishments and success that he
has had in less than a decade in our league are

SAN FRANCISCO Third baseman
Conor Gillaspie and the San Francisco
Giants have agreed to a $1.4 million, oneyear contract, a raise from his $1 million
salary last year.
The sides avoided arbitration, and the deal
was announced Wednesday night.
Gillaspie had a great spring training last
year then briefly began in the minors before
re-joining the Giants in his second stint
with San Francisco. Then, he became an
unlikely September and playoff star as an
injury replacement, no less.

Angeles.
McVay spent the past three seasons as Jay
Grudens offensive coordinator with the
Redskins. He has been an assistant since
2010 in Washington, where he worked with
Gruden and Bill Callahan to build a prolific
offense led by quarterback Kirk Cousins.
McVays most important task is likely to
be the transformation of No. 1 overall pick
Jared Goff into a star after his rough rookie
campaign behind a struggling offensive
line.

Gillaspie would earn an additional
$50,000 if he is elected to start in the AllStar Game and $25,000 if he is selected as a
reserve. He also would get $50,000 each if
he wins a Gold Glove or Sliver Slugger,

tweeted.
The Rams made the eye-catching move on
the same day that the Chargers announced
their relocation to Los Angeles to share the
Rams $2.6 billion stadium. The Chargers
are still without a coach, and the Rams
grabbed some of their headlines by snagging one of the most interesting names on
the coaching market.
I am incredibly honored by this opportunity, McVay said in a statement, thanking
Kroenke and Rams chief operating officer
Kevin Demoff. Collectively, we are committed to building a championship-caliber
team, and Im excited to start that process
and make our fans proud.
McVay wowed the Rams top brass during
two recent interviews, but he is an unorthodox choice for the franchise, which hasnt
taken many extraordinary risks during
Kroenkes tenure. While McVay is respected
as an up-and-coming NFL mind, he has

understandably meager experience, including none as a head coach at any level of football.
Lane Kiffin was 31 years old when the
Oakland Raiders hired him in January 2007.
That hire didnt work out so well, but perhaps risks are in order to snap the Rams out
of their 12-year playoff drought.
Theyve made the playoffs just four times
in the last 27 years, all during a five-year
span in St. Louis from 1999-2003, and they
havent had a winning record in Los Angeles
since 1989.
Los Angeles has the NFLs youngest roster, but McVay is still younger than Rams
defensive linemen William Hayes. McVay
doesnt inherit an enormous amount of elite
talent beyond Pro Bowl defensive lineman
Aaron Donald and other topflight defensive
players, but the Rams are eager to build a
winning team heading into their new stadium in Inglewood, which they will share with
the Chargers beginning in 2019.

Three Giants remain eligible for arbitration and are set to swap proposed salaries
with the team Friday: right-hander George
Kontos, third baseman Eduardo Nunez and
left-hander Will Smith.

2017.
Bauer, who turns 26 next week, went 12-8
with a 4. 26 ERA in a career-high 190
innings last year and was a valuable member
of the rotation.
However, he went 0-2 with a 5.27 ERA in
four postseason starts, and sliced open the
pinkie on his pitching hand while repairing
one of his drones during the AL
Championship Series. He had his start
against Toronto pushed back because of the
injury and then had to be pulled from an outing when his stitched wound opened and
wouldnt stop bleeding in the first inning.
Bauer began the season in the bullpen and
was the last Cleveland pitcher after relieving Bryan Shaw in the 10th inning of Game
7 of the World Series.

CLEVELAND Not always in accord,
Trevor Bauer and the Cleveland Indians met
in the middle on something.
The enigmatic right-hander, whose best
season in the majors was tarnished by a
postseason drone accident in 2016, avoided
salary arbitration with the team by agreeing
Thursday to a $3.55 million, one-year contract, more than double the $1,697,500 he
earned last year.
Cleveland also came to agreement with
check to aid victims from last months deadly warehouse fire. For the presentation after
the first quarter of Thursday nights PistonsWarriors game, Golden State President and
COO Rick Welts was joined by As manager
Bob Melvin, Raiders general manager
Reggie McKenzie, Oakland Mayor Libby

On Dec. 2, 36 people died in the Ghost
Ship warehouse fire. Warriors players and
coaches pledged $75,000, while the three
pro teams in the East Bay said they would
match donations up to $50,000 and more
than 3,600 individuals had contributed to

Warriors.
The funds are being collected by the City

Aragon (0-0-1 PAL Bay, 4-0-2 overall) controlled more of the run of play, but it was
Woodside (0-0-1, 1-5-2) that had the better
scoring chances.
The Wildcats had the best chance of the day
minutes into the second half. Earning a free
kick from 37 yards out, Woodsides Daisy
Jimenez put a ball on frame that Aragon goalkeeper Shaye Kenney caught, then dropped.
Thats when all hell broke loose. Kayla Hart
had the first crack at the rebound for the
Wildcats, but Kenney made a lunging stop,
injuring her shoulder when Kenney crashed
into her. Amelia Esteverena pounced on the
second rebound and slotted it into the back of
the net but the goal was waved off because
of offside.
While Navarrete didnt understand the call,
he said he didnt want to make a big deal out of
it.
We still had 35 minutes left to play,
Navarrete said. One day, well get a goal we
dont deserve.
Kenney, however, was forced from the game
with a shoulder injury, forcing backup
Isabella Cortwright between the posts.
She handled the situation flawlessly, finishing with three saves and providing a
steadying calm.
Shes very composed, Dye said. We were
missing Shaye in a preseason game and she
came in. We know were in capable hands.
Before she got hurt, Kenney did a tremendous job of keeping Woodside off the scoreboard because, after struggling for the first 20
minutes, the Wildcats came on strong over the
final 20 minutes of the first half, testing
Kenney several times.

Classic), Chip Beck (1991 Las Vegas


Invitational), David Duval (1999 Bob Hope
Classic), Paul Goydos (2010 John Deere
Classic) and Stuart Appleby (2010
Greenbrier Classic).
This was special because he made it look
so easy.
Thomas, a 23-year-old with enormous
power for his 145-pound frame, never hit
more than a 7-iron into the par 4s at Waialae
on a perfect day for scoring very little
breeze, fast fairways and soft greens. That 7iron was chipped under the trees and into a
bunker on No. 8 when he was trying to save
par.
His only bogey came on his second hole,
the par-3 11th, when his tee shot went into a
bunker and he missed an 18-foot par putt.
Duval was the only other player to shoot
59 with an eagle on the last hole. Furyk at
Conway Farms is the only other player to
shoot 59 with a bogey.
Spieth, best friends with Thomas since
they were 13, was more nervous than
Thomas and far more demonstrative.
Thomas had a 30-foot birdie putt on No. 7
that looked good even when it was inches
from the cup until burning the edge. Spieth
clutched the back of his neck and was still
asking how the putt didnt fall when he
walked onto the next tee. He was talking to
himself, of course. He gave Thomas his
space.
Its like sitting on the bench with a teammate throwing a perfect game, Spieth said.
It was awesome. What an awesome last five
rounds hes had.
Just four days ago, Thomas closed birdiebirdie for a 69 to win the SBS Tournament of
Champions at Kapalua. He started his round
Thursday at Waialae by pitching in from 35
yards for an eagle on the short 10th hole.
And he was off.
All my birdies were easy, Thomas said.
He was smashing drives when he could,
especially on the par-5 18th hole when he
found an extra long tee and hammered a high
hook that left him only an 8-iron into the
green. He narrowly holed that for eagle, settling for a 29. Then, he went birdie-birdie to
start the front nine, and when he hit 7-iron
to 5 feet for birdie on the par-3 fourth hole,
the race was on to hit golfs magic number.
He had full control of his golf swing,
Spieth said.

U.S. military: November fight


with Taliban killed 33 civilians
By Rahim Faiez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

REUTERS

Displaced Iraqi people fleeing the Islamic State stronghold of Mosul get food in the town of Bartella, Iraq.

KABUL, Afghanistan The


U.S. military in Afghanistan said
on Thursday that its investigation
into a November firefight with the
Taliban in northern Kunduz
province has shown that 33 civilians died in the raid during which
U. S. troops fired on Afghan
homes.
The probe followed claims that
civilian deaths resulted from
airstrikes called in to support
Afghan and U.S. forces who came
under fire in the provinces village
of Buz-e Kandahari, which targeted
two senior Taliban commanders.
The two Taliban figures, responsible for violence in Kunduz the
previous month, were killed in the
operation.
According to a U.S. military
statement, the investigation
determined, regretfully, that 33
civilians were killed and 27 wounded as troops responded to fire from
Taliban who were using civilian

houses as firing positions.


After the raid, Kunduz residents
carried over a dozen corpses of the
dead, including children and family members of the Taliban fighters, toward a local governors
office in a show of rage.
Regardless of the circumstances, I deeply regret the loss of
innocent lives, the statement
quoted Gen. John Nicholson, commander of U. S. Forces in
Afghanistan. On this occasion
the Taliban chose to hide amongst
civilians and then attacked Afghan
and U.S. forces.
I wish to assure President
(Ashraf) Ghani and the people of
Afghanistan that we will take all
possible measures to protect
Afghan civilians, Nicholson
added. We will continue to assist
the Afghan security forces in their
efforts to defend their country.
But a Kunduz official told the
Associated Press that the Afghan
civilian death toll in the U.S. military probe was less than what
local authorities had.

In eastern Mosul, small signs


of progress amid the fighting Secret police file: Trump sure
By Mstyslav Chernov
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MOSUL, Iraq Small stalls and


carts have sprung up outside the
bombed-out buildings in eastern
Mosul, selling meat and vegetables, cigarettes and cellphones to
the thousands of civilians still living in neighborhoods where the
Iraqi military has driven out the
Islamic State group.
As the grinding military operation enters its fourth month, about
a third of the northern city is under
government control. While more
than 100,000 people have fled the
fighting, many have remained
despite no electricity or running
water.
Zaid Khaled sells frozen chicken
from a stall in the main traffic circle in the Zahour neighborhood.
Every morning, he takes a bus to
the easternmost edge of Mosul to
buy the poultry in a market.
Because theres no power, he
must sell his whole supply each day

or lose money.
Slowly, as people are able to go
back to work, life will return to
normal, step by step, he said.
On the edge of the neighborhood, hundreds of people must
cross a makeshift bridge to buy
food and water, or reach medical
aid.
Isam Fathi Younis lives just a few
blocks from the front line. He
wheeled his elderly mother across
the bridge Thursday in search of a
doctor after she began to have trouble breathing.
His family waited in their home
for days before fighting subsided
enough to venture out on the
streets, he said.
On Tuesday, Lt. Gen. Talib
Shaghati told the Associated Press
the whole city could be recaptured
from IS in another three months, or
less. When the operation began in
October, Iraqi leaders had predicted
they would retake the city before
2017 began, but progress has been
slow amid fierce counterattacks

from the extremists.


Although buses, taxis and private cars have begun to clog the
streets, armored military vehicles
wind through the traffic in a
reminder that the battle is not far
away.
One group of soldiers carried a
metal chair a seemingly ordinary object until a closer look
revealed that cuff-like restraints
had been welded to its arms and
legs. The soldiers said they said
they recovered it from an IS prison.
They used this for torture, said
special forces Col. Ali Kenani.
The clamp was used to hold a
finger like this, he said, slipping
his hand into the vice on the end of
one of the arms. Finding things
like this in Mosul is normal.
Shoppers and merchants said the
signs of life returning to some of
the streets were precarious:
Markets like this one still get hit
by mortar rounds, and the entire
city is without essential government services.

of presidential win in 96
By Karel Janicek
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PRAGUE Nearly 30 years


ago, Donald Trump was confident
he would win the U.S. presidential
election as an independent in
1996, according to recently
uncovered
files
from
Czechoslovakias Communist-era
secret police.
Czechoslovakia was the home
nation of Trumps first wife,
Ivana, a model, athlete and businesswoman who became the mother of his three oldest children:
Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric.
A year before the 1989 collapse
of communism in many parts of
Europe, details about Ivana
Trumps 1988 visit back to her
homeland were recorded in a classified police report. The Oct. 22,
1988, report claimed that Trump
refused to run for president in 1988

despite alleged pressure to do so


because he felt, at 42, he was
too young. But the secret report
said he intended to run in the 1996
U.S. presidential race as an independent, when he would be 50.
Even though it looks like a
utopia, D. TRUMP is confident he
will succeed, the police report
said, based on information from
an unspecified source who talked
to Ivana Trumps father, Milos
Zelnicek, about her visit.
It was unclear where the alleged
pressure was coming from.
The report is interesting
because, in the United States,
there was little public knowledge
that Trump would consider a presidential run until a 1988 interview
on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
I would never want to rule it out
totally, he said then.
I think Id win, he added. I
wouldnt go in to lose.

Star of 24 sequel welcomes


chance to create black hero
By Lynn Elber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PASADENA The clock is


ticking and the nations fate
again is at stake in 24:
Legacy, a sequel to Foxs
white-knuckle drama series.
But this time the hero is
African-American and that
matters, says the shows star
and producers.

In television, to be a hero
and look like I look, that really stuck with me, said Corey
Hawkins, who plays Eric
Carter, an ex-Army Ranger
whos drawn into a fierce new
battle at home.
Now that hes helping create
a character thats not typically
black, the actor said, Carters
ethnicity will be more than
skin deep.

We have to honor where he


comes from, not just his skin
color but wheres hes from,
the southeast area of
Washington,
D.C.,
said
Hawkins, whos also a native
of the city. Thats the authenticity.
Theres pressure in taking
over the lead from longtime
24 franchise lead Kiefer
Sutherland, who played U.S.

counter-terrorism agent Jack


Bauer, Hawkins acknowledged during a Q&A session
with TV critics Wednesday.
Uh, yeah. Id be crazy to
say there wasnt any pressure, he said. If the challenge wasnt there, theres no
reason to say yes to the role.

Flavor of buffalo wings without the chicken


By Melissa dArabian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Baked meatballs are a great way to get both the flavor and fun of buffalo wings without the
fried chicken skin derailing our nutritious eating.

Ive loved chicken wings since long


before they were ever a cute little bar menu
item, looking more like tiny drumsticks
than an actual Z-shaped wing.
My mom, a savvy penny-pinching college student when I was born, included
chicken wings on our weekly dinner menu
rotation throughout my childhood; fried
chicken skin was practically a major food
group. In college, when I discovered spicy,
buttery buffalo wings, I was in pool-hall
heaven.
Now, as an adult, I still love all things
buffalo-flavored. Ill pour spicy sauce
straight from the bottle onto anything from
roasted cauliflower to scrambled eggs.
Meatballs, which are a big favorite around
our house, are no exception.
Meatballs are an excellent family menu
staple I just swap out flavors according
to our tastes (and pantry), and even make a
bunch ahead of time to keep in the freezer
for busy weeknights. They are also an ideal
appetizer treat for events like movie night
or watching Sunday football.
Turns out, baked meatballs are a great way
to get both the flavor and fun of buffalo
wings without the fried chicken skin derailing our nutritious eating. Lean ground beef

is my favorite meat to use (96 percent lean


beef offers over 20 grams of protein for
fewer than 6 grams of fat per 4-ounce serving), but ground turkey also works great.
Adding blue cheese and spicy buffalo sauce
straight into the meatball means a complete
visit to buffalo heaven all in one non-fried
bite.
Try using a small ice-cream scoop to
measure out even meatballs, and then bake
on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a
mini-muffin pan sprayed with nonstick
spray.
Sometimes I dunk the cooked meatballs
in extra sauce, rendering them too messy
and spicy for my kiddos, but perfect for me,
who doesnt mind going through multiple
napkins in a sitting. But for the average
meatball eater watching the game, lets call
swimming in sauce an optional, if delicious, step.

BUFFALO STYLE MEATBALLS


Start to finish: 30 minutes
Servings: 10 servings, 2 meatballs each
1 egg white
3 tablespoons spicy buffalo sauce (like
Franks, or hot chili sauce)
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic

Judge: Appeals holding up
Prince estate determination
CHASKA, Minn. The Minnesota judge overseeing
Princes estate will wait for appeals to be exhausted before
making a final determination on who will
inherit a fortune that could be worth
around $200 million, he said at a hearing
Thursday.
But Carver County District Judge Kevin
Eide also made it clear the late superstars
six confirmed siblings are the likely
heirs. Prince left no known will when he
died in April of a painkiller overdose. The
judge already has rejected claims from
Prince
several other people to be Princes child,
sibling or wife.
The court cannot make a determination of who the heirs
are until these appeals are exhausted, Eide said. That
process typically takes several months or more.
Princes sister, Tyka Nelson, and his five half-siblings
also want Comerica Bank and Trust to take over running the
estate from temporary special administrator Bremer Trust.
Attorneys for the two institutions said they expect a handover at the end of the month.
Eide also heard testimony but did not immediately rule on
whether he should appoint an individual as a co-personal
representative, or co-executor, to act in part as a gobetween Princes siblings and Comerica.

Extra sauce for dunking, if desired


Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, use a fork
to mix together the egg white, buffalo
sauce, paprika, garlic and salt and pepper until blended. Add the beef and mix
well with your hands. Then mix in the
blue cheese and breadcrumbs. Let sit
for 5 minutes.
If mixture is too wet to form into
balls, add in another tablespoon or
two of breadcrumbs. Form the meat
into golf-sized balls, and place on
lined baking sheet. (Or use a mini-muffin pan sprayed with nonstick spray.)
Spray the meatballs lightly with oil

from the mister (or nonstick spray).


Bake 15 minutes and then remove from
the oven.
Mix together the melted butter and
buffalo sauce in a small bowl. Turn the

among the executive producers of 24:


Legacy.
Anna Diop, who plays Carters wife,
said all viewers should find the couple
familiar, race notwithstanding.
Im hoping people see this and see
themselves in these characters and it
transcends us being black, Diop said,
adding that her character, Nicole, is
trying to support her husband and
remain true to her own beliefs.
Ot h er cas t memb ers i n cl ude
Jimmy Smits as a U. S. senator and
presidential hopeful, Miranda Otto
as a former counter-terrorism unit
head and Ashley Thomas as Carters

drug-dealer brother.
The familiar elements, including
episodes that play out by the clock, are
there for good reason, the shows producers said. The approach remains a
brilliant propulsive engine, said
series creator Evan Katz.
24: Legacy also is bringing back
the character of Tony Almeida, played
by Carlos Bernard.
Katz said that reflects what a
dynamic actor and presence Bernard
is and his characters compelling
nature. When he asked himself which
of the former characters he wanted to
see again, Katz said, it was Tony.

MLK
Continued from page 1
I think the focus right now is on
what we can expect for the most part
with the new president going into
office in a few days, Moore said, noting hes heard complaints of racial
incidents at restaurants and high
schools. There are people out there
who feel good in terms of sticking out
their chest and letting people know
that they dont like either Muslims or
African-Americans or what have you.
We have to teach people how to deal
with this, how to stand up to this sort
of nonsense.
Without question, he said its
imperative to teach children about
Kings message of nonviolence and
how to live a life that honors the values hard-fought for by leaders of the
civil rights movement. With the
nations first black president spending his final days in the White House,
Moore noted it feels as though Donald
Trumps rise to the presidency and
heightened racial tensions detract
from the efforts to create a society
that welcomes diversity.
Sometimes when we take two steps
forward, we end up taking a step
back, Moore said. We have to deal
with these things and remember the
many accomplishments of Dr. King,
not only Dr. King but many of the
civil rights fighters going back to the
40s, 50s and 60s in terms of what
they went through. Some of them
gave their lives for the cause. We

plans to expand in the Bay Area.
The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative is
leasing additional space as part of our
plans to build for the future, and we are
committed to working in our community. We are pleased to strengthen our
roots in the Bay Area and look forward
to many years of work to unlock
human potential and promote equal
opportunity.
The philanthropic organization
founded by Facebook founder Mark
Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan
will put down roots in the heart of
Redwood Citys downtown at 2075
Broadway at the intersection of
Broadway and Jefferson Street.
Powerhouse
Gym
owner
Rob
Svelflohn said his gym has held a lease
on the location for the last 22 years,
and will be relocating across the street
to 870 Jefferson St., where a DB Shoes
store currently stands.
The couple announced the initiative

cant forget about those people and


we have to educate the kids.
About 120 children from first- to
eighth-grade immersed themselves in
Kings teachings while writing
essays or poems based on this years
theme: what does the phrase beloved
community
mean
to
you?
Encouraging youth to explore the
concept of community also provides a
glimpse at how the tumultuous world
may be having an effect on these
impressionable kids, said Anita
Webb, community organizer for the
contest.
We wanted to get a wider spectrum
of what the young adults are thinking, Webb said. Theres so much
going on in this world with police
shootings, African-Americans getting shot, with politicians. [The
contest is] to understand what theyre
thinking, how theyre thinking
because, at this point, theres so
much negativity out there and we just
want to make sure they stay on a positive track and if theres something
in December 2015, when they pledged
99 percent of their shares of the Menlo
Park-based company, which at the time
totaled an estimated $45 billion, to
advance human potential and promote
equality for all children in the next
generation, according to a Facebook
post by Mark Zuckerberg.
In April, the Redwood City Planning
Commission approved a proposal for a
four-story building submitted by Lane
Partners of Menlo Park. Of the just
under 100,000 square feet proposed in
the plan, a little over 65,000 square
feet are slated for office space, with the
remaining space designated for
ground-floor retail use.
Mark Murray, principal at Lane
Partners, reported that an interlocking
brick pattern and windows with several panes will lend a historic look to the
new buildings facade. Two outdoor terraces on the third floor open the
Broadway-facing edge of the building
to a view of the hills, according to an
email from Murray.
We plan to break ground in June of
this year and construction should take
about 20 months, he wrote in an
email.

on their mind, it needs to be


addressed.
Webb agreed that this years event
which follows heated rhetoric triggered by the presidential election as
well as numerous police shootings
is perhaps more poignant than ever.
Its so vital to remember Martin
Luther King Day because what he
stood for was equality and nonviolence. Its more so now than ever
before, Webb said. Because theres
so much violence out there and you
dont want that to be the status quo.
You dont want your kids thinking
thats the only way to resolve conflicts. He stood for peace. Thats what
the kids need to make sure they know
whenever theyre up against anything, to think of the best way to
resolve it in a peaceful way.

For Svelflohn, Powerhouse Gyms
move will allow his team to create the
gym they have always wanted to build.
Because his business was two years
into its second 20-year lease on 2075
Broadway when Lane Partners came
forward with their proposal, the developer said they would facilitate his
business move.
The gym that were going to build
is a million-dollar gym, said
Svelflohn.
Svelflohn is preparing to move his
gym across the street in the next three
to six months. The new Powerhouse
Gym will feature brand-new locker
rooms, showers and equipment as well
as a separate room for yoga and aerobics activities.
When we moved [into Redwood
City], there was literally nothing else
in Redwood City thats still there. It
was a pretty blank landscape, except
for us, he said. Were really fortunate
to move right across the street.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Clotilde Carcamo
Case Number: 16PRO00662
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Clotilde Carcamo. A Petition for Probate has been filed by Jorge
E. Carcamo in the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo. The Petition for Probate requests that Jorge E.
Carcamo be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of
the decedent. 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 waived 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: February 01, 2017
at 9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
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
Calilfornia Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under sectioin
9052 of the Callifornia Probate
Code.Other California statutes and legal
authority may affect your rights as a
creditor. You may want to consult with an
attorney knowledgable 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 (form DE154) of the filing 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.

RINK
Continued from page 1
favor of building more retail space.
The foundation hopes to use funding from
a variety of sources such as the city and
county of San Mateo plus a loan to construct the facility estimated to cost between
$12 million and $16 million, according to
the city report. The proposal includes an
indoor facility with at least two sheets of
ice, locker rooms, a training center, restaurant, parking and youth homework center.
The U.S. Badminton Center Group also
expressed interest in building a facility
housing between 20 and 50 badminton
courts, wellness center, training facility and
a variety of other amenities at the driving
range owned and operated by the city.
A committee comprised of Councilwoman
Donna Colson, City Manager Lisa
Goldman,
Finance
Director
Carol
Augustine, Public Works Director Syed
Murtuza and Parks and Recreation Director
Margaret Glomstad reviewed all applications for the site and indicated they preferred Topgolfs proposal due to its financially feasibility and potential to draw revenue.

DROUGHT
Continued from page 1
unleashed burbling waterfalls in southern
deserts, and doubled the vital snowpack in
the Sierra Nevada in little more than a week.
Declaring California as a whole to be past
its official three-year drought emergency
will be up to Gov. Jerry Brown, who will
probably wait until the end of the winter
rain and snow season to make that decision.
But for people in northern cities such as
Sacramento, where state workers opened
flood gates to ease pressure on levees for
the first time in a dozen years, releasing a
two-mile-wide torrent of excess water from
the surging Sacramento River, the call on
declaring the dry spell over in Northern
California looked much clearer.
Its hard to say we have a drought here
right now, said Jay Lund, director of the
Center for Watershed Sciences at the
University of California at Davis.
Lund spoke as he returned from taking students to see the wrenched-open, century-old
flood gates in Sacramento, which got its
heaviest rain in 20 years this week.

Whether it be through an agreement


with a for-profit or not-for-profit entity,
the preferred solution for the Golf Center
site would maximize use of the property and
availability of recreational activities for
the broadest spectrum of the citys residents and visitors, according to the report.
The committee feels the Topgolf proposal
best fulfills these attributes, while also presenting the maximum amount of return to
the city in the form of a relatively secure
lease agreement. The other two proposals
provide significantly less in guaranteed
income.
Topgolf is a chain entertainment company with centers across the nation offering
patrons an opportunity to play golf-style
chipping games amidst a sports bar setting.
The Topgolf proposal included a 65,000square-foot facility with 102 hitting bays,
3,000 square feet of event space, a full
restaurant and bar, pool tables, shuffle
board and more. The center would be built on
the existing Golf Center site and offer entertainment, food, music, golf lessons, summer camps, tournaments and leagues,
according to the report.
Ice rink advocates claim building the center adjacent to the hearty network of hotels
along the Bayshore would present a wide
appeal for hockey and skating enthusiasts
who would travel to Burlingame and stay for

tournaments over the weekend.


These ice rinks are regional amenities,
said Strambi. The opportunity is not just a
great amenity for residents, but it will also
bring business and commerce to
Burlingame.
Jeremy Verba and Dina Artzt, coordinators
of the Committee to Save the Bridgepointe
Ice Rink, expressed a similar sentiment.
The two-rink facility will attract skaters
and their families from all over the country
when there are tournaments and skating
competitions, especially being in such
close proximity to an airport, said the two
in a joint statement from the organization
which also advocates for local ice rink
enthusiasts.
But Anne LeClair, president of the San
Mateo County/Silicon Valley Convention
and Visitors Bureau, offered an alternative
perspective.
Our sales team here believes Topgolf
would be of enormous benefit to the area
hotels. It is an ideal off-site event location
and selling point for the hotels and offers
conference attendees a place to go and have
fun on their own, as well, she said in an
email. Having been to the ones in both
Scottsdale and Austin, I can attest to
Topgolf facilities being a great draw for visitors and a great destination for local families of all ages.

She noted the bureau has not adopted a formal position on the issue, but a group of
local hoteliers wrote a letter to the council
expressing their support for Topgolf as
well.
We are all in support of the Topgolf
application over any other proposed entertainment uses, according to a letter signed
by executives at the Hyatt Regency, Crowne
Plaza, San Mateo Marriott and other local
hotels.
LeClair said Topgolf would meet the needs
of corporate groups seeking amenities adjacent to the hotels east of Highway 101, in
an area otherwise starved for entertainment
opportunities.
The committee examining the proposals
explored an opportunity to share the site
between applicants, but found parking
restrictions precluded such an alternative,
according to the report.
Ultimately, officials concluded Topgolf
would serve as the highest and best use of
the site.
Topgolf is a proven, successful and profitable brand name business with operations
around the country, and they have prior
experience working with municipalities,
according to the report.
The Burlingame City Council meets 7
p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 17, at City Hall, 501
Primrose Road.

The weekly drought report by federal and


academic water experts showed 42 percent
of the state had emerged from drought. This
time last year, only 3 percent of California
was out of drought.
Southern California, which is also receiving welcome rain from the storms, remains
in drought but experienced a dramatic reduction in severity.
Just 2 percent of the entire state, a swath
between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara,
remains in the sharpest category of drought
that includes drying wells, reservoirs and
streams and widespread crop losses. Fortythree percent of the state was in that direst
category this time a year ago.
The Cachuma reservoir near still-arid
Santa Barbara was at just 8 percent of capacity, even as authorities at Northern
Californias Shasta Dam opened spillways
for the first time in six years to make room
for more water to come.
Like many people in Northern California,
winery tasting-room supervisor Nate Hayes
went out to marvel when this weeks heavy
rains started and enjoyed taking his canoe
down the flooded streets of his town of
Rohnert Park.
By Thursday, Hayes and others were tired

of the rockslides and mudslides complicating commutes and the round-the-clock


downpours keeping everyone inside.
Were all really excited for the rain,
Hayes said. But at the same time we kind of
want it to be over.
Forecasters said the heaviest of storms
fueled by an atmospheric river weather
phenomenon had passed after delivering the
biggest downpours in a decade.
Everything is on the way down, said
Steve Anderson, a meteorologist at the
National Weather Service office in
Monterey.
A rare Sierra blizzard at the start of the
week brought the mountains their heaviest
snowfall in six years. Runoff from the
mountains provides Californians with much
of their year-round water supply. Stations up
and down the mountain chain were reporting
twice the amount of normal rain and snow
for this time of year.
Overall, reservoirs were brimming above
average for the first time in six years.
Its been so wet in some places this winter we would do pretty well even if it tapered
off right now, said Daniel Swain, a fellow
at the University of California at Los
Angeles whose weather blog has been a

closely watched chronicle of the drought.


Water experts look at factors including
soil moisture, stream levels and snowpack
in determining drought, said Claudia Faunt,
a San Diego-based hydrologist with the
U.S. Geological Survey.
At the peak of the drought in 2014 and
2015, urban Californians were under a
mandatory 25 percent water conservation
order from Brown. Threatened native
species suffered as waterways shriveled.
More than 100 million trees in the Sierra
Nevada died.
Warming temperatures associated with
climate change increasingly are eating
away at the Sierra snowpack. Californias
underground water reserves have been so
depleted by extra pumping that they would
take decades, at a minimum, to replenish.
With nearly 40 million urban water users
and a huge agricultural industry, drought in
California is part nature and part human
behavior, said Bill Patzert, a climatologist
at NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Are these storms giving us drought
relief? No doubt, but its a quick fix. In the
long term, solving the drought problem in
California will be a political problem,
Patzert said.
