square feet of health care services,
200,000 square feet of office space and

Striving to meet federal mandates or face nearly every

city officials are proceeding with a multi-million dollar
project to improve the Bayfront communitys 8-mile levee

The Planning Commission met Thursday to confirm what
factors should be studied as experts consider the environmental impacts of raising the levee to meet federal standards to protect against a 100-year storm and adapt to sea

San Francisco City Hall erected a Super Bowl 50 sculpture to help celebrate the matchup between the Carolina Panthers
and the Denver Broncos Sunday. All season, the NFL has celebrated 50 years of the Super Bowl, starting with changing its
logo and dropping the Roman numeral. The 50-yard line on every field was painted gold. Past Super Bowl Heroes were
celebrated along with the games in which they participated. The big game has come back to Northern California for the
first time in 31 years.

Calling all history lovers

Burlingame announces citys first official town crier
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Richard Aptekar is following his calling

by heeding his need to cry but maybe not
in the fashion most would typically expect.
Aptekar, 72, has been selected by the
Burlingame Historical Society as the citys
first and only town crier, who is set to make
his debut this weekend.
The Burlingame resident, who has an
extensive track record of public performance,
is one of only a few in the state recognized
by the American Guild of Town Criers.
His initial task will be to announce the
opening of the Burlingame Hillsborough
History Museum, 290 California Drive, 1
p.m. Sunday, Feb. 7, and will regularly
announce the historical societys meetings,
as well as other community events at the city
library.
Dressed in era-appropriate decor, featuring
a top hat and long jacket, Aptekars deep and
distinct voice will read out poetic and often
humorous declarations, as he rings a bell signifying his prestigious role.
He said his goal is to bring a lighthearted
appeal to recognizing the extensive history
of Burlingame.
Im hoping that folks will want to bring
back history and enjoy the idea of hiring a
town crier, he said.
Aptekar is retired from the corporate sector, and spends his free time performing a
variety of acting roles for private functions,
and is glad to add town crier to his extensive
resume.
To become a sanctioned town crier,
Aptekar needed the blessing of a municipality, or a historical society, to gain recognition from the industry guild.
To his knowledge, there are no other town
criers on the Peninsula, said Aptekar, and the
closest other is in Concord.

Richard Aptekar is Burlingames first officially

recognized town crier.
Serving the unique role is appealing to
Aptekar as he has always be prone to sharing
information.
I like the idea of sharing the word, he
said.
But historically serving as town crier has
been a risky role, as anger directed at the
bearer of bad news was the impetus for the
rise of the phrase dont shoot the messenger.
For his part, Aptekar is hopeful no such
violence will be aimed at him in his new role.
Beyond his predilection for sharing the
news, Aptekar said serving as town crier is

more a function of his personality and the

gifts with which he was born.
As a child, he was always selected to entertain during family functions, which grew
into a career of acting in commercials and
movies.
His most notable role was playing alongside Dennis Hopper in the 1981 cult classic
film Reborn, but he also performs at weddings, birthday parties and corporate functions.
Though he has honed his skills as an actor,
Aptekar said his abilities as a crier may be
born from an intrinsic quality.
I just like to perform. I have a big mouth,
I guess that qualifies me as a town crier, he
said.
Russ Cohen, vice president of the
Burlingame Historical Society, said in a prepared statement the organization believes
Aptekar will be a valued, albeit loud, voice in
the community.
Truth be told, we werent sure we needed a
town crier. But sometimes you dont think
you need one, until you have one, he said.
A history buff himself, Aptekar said he
would like to engage the interest of residents
in the pastime of Burlingame.
We are trying our best to bring history
alive, he said.
With the understanding that many locals
will spend their Sunday afternoon on the
couch watching football, he hopes his initial
cries will not fall on deaf ears of all.
Those who are not sports fans might be
history fans so hopefully they will come
over, he said.

Woman arrested in
anti-human trafficking operation
A Millbrae woman was arrested for soliciting prostitution as part of a multi-week
law enforcement operation aimed at cracking down on human trafficking.
Kamonrat Sun, 43, was arrested around
3:15 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 4, at a home on
the 300 block of Pine Street in Millbrae,
according to the Sheriffs Office.
The arrest was the result of several weeks
of surveillance and an ongoing investigation with more suspects still at large, said
sheriffs Detective Sal Zuno.
Sun was the only one at home when
deputies served a search warrant and several
items seized from the property indicate the
residence was being used as a house of prostitution, according to the Sheriffs Office.
Sun was booked into county jail on one
count of prostitution, but that charge could
change as the investigation continues,
Zuno said.

open-air urinal must go
An attorney representing a group of civic

to the city of San Francisco threatening to
sue if an open-air urinal in Dolores Park is
not removed in 20 days.
The concrete circular urinal, which is out
in the open and screened only through
plants for privacy, was installed in the iconic park last month to the approval of some.
They said the parks meager three toilets
led some to relieve themselves in bushes
and on buildings. But the backlash has
already started with six civic groups teaming up in a letter to the city that says the urinal must go.
They claim the urinal is a flagrant violation of the law and basic public policy, is
unsanitary and discriminates against
women and children because it is not
designed for females.

Droughts hardest-hit areas

may need years of support
By Ellen Knickmeyer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO Dying native fish,

rural communities with dry wells and some
other sectors hardest-hit by Californias
drought may still need extra support long
after the current dry spell ends, an analysis of
the states drought response said Friday.
The nonpartisan Legislative Analysts
Office also urged officials to study the effectiveness of the states more than $3 billion in
drought programs to learn lessons for managing the next drought.
California has marked the four driest consecutive years on record, although rain and
snow so far this winter are raising hopes of
the drought easing.
The analysis toted up drought-response
programs by 13 state agencies.
While the states focus this year rightly
remains immediate drought response, state

leaders should keep in mind communities in
Californias Central Valley and elsewhere that
have exhausted wells and groundwater, the
analysis said.
Those dry towns will need long-term state
programs to hook them up with other sources
of water, the report advised.
The report also cited the 18 native fish
species that researchers say are being brought
to the brink of extinction with the drought,
with record low survival rates for some
salmon and other species the past two years.
Some native fish may need long-term additional monitoring and support to survive, the
drought report said.
The legislative analyst report also urged
long-term funding for some of the State Water
Resources Control Boards studies related to
the drought, including the boards look at the
states Gold Rush-era system of water rights.

A suspect was arrested early Thursday

Ashleigh Hvizda, 29, of Oakland, was
also arrested for possession of methamphetamine. She had previous arrest warrants for
possession of methamphetamine and vehicle theft, according to the San Bruno Police
Department.
At 1:13 a.m. Thursday, a San Bruno police
officer located two suspects acting suspiciously in a parked vehicle on the 600 block
of Huntington Avenue.
Police said Hvizda was found to be in possession of methamphetamine and a fraudulent ATM debit card, and a passenger, identi-
fied as James Gleason, 43, of San

Francisco, was found to be in possession of
a fraudulent California drivers license.
Hvizda was taken into custody and booked
into the San Mateo County Jail, and
Gleason was issued a promise to appear for a
misdemeanor offense.
Parolee with outstanding

warrant arrested with meth

The suspect initially provided a false
name but was ultimately identified as Steven
Sawyer, a 50-year-old resident of San
Bruno, according to police.
Sawyer was wanted for violating the terms
of his parole after a conviction for assault
with a deadly weapon, police said.
He was also allegedly in possession of
methamphetamine at the time of his arrest.

Executive facing ouster from California

Coastal Commission defends his tenure
By Michael R. Blood
LOS ANGELES The top executive at the

powerful California Coastal Commission
defended his record on the job Friday as he
faced an effort to oust him, a potential
shake-up that environmentalists fear could
unleash runaway development on the states
fabled coastline.
In his first public remarks on a proposal
to dismiss him next week, Executive
Director Charles Lester said in a statement
that his accomplishments over more than
four years have been exceptionally
strong. He depicted himself as an able
steward of the coast who, in concert with the
commission, had made strides addressing
the impacts of sea-level rise tied to climate
change, protecting open space and winning
REUTERS additional funding.
A person looks over his choices of firms that are interviewing at a job fair in Washington, D.C.
I believe that my vision has been clear
and incisive, Lester said in a memo posted
on the panels website. We have accomplished much together that we should be
extremely proud of.

The commission, created by voters in 1972,
has broad sway over
issues in coastal areas
that include some of the
most coveted real estate
in the U.S. The turmoil
surrounding Lester has
Charles Lester raised questions about
the direction of an
agency often caught in the conflict between
property rights and conservation along
beaches and the adjacent coast.
Commission Chair Steve Kinsey notified
Lester in a letter last month that the commission will consider whether to fire him at
a meeting Wednesday.
Lester has held the post since 2011, and
no reason was given for the proposed dismissal.
However, environmental activists suspect
some commission members want to push
out Lester to make way for management
more welcoming to development.
Many see cause for optimism

despite slower U.S. job growth National parks face $12 billion
By Josh Boak
WASHINGTON Consider looking past

Januarys so-so job growth.
At first glance, Fridays government
report on U.S. hiring was a downer
151,000 added jobs, well below the pace of
the previous few months.
Yet once you take a fuller view, a brighter
picture of the job market emerges: A sub-5
percent unemployment rate. Healthy pay
raises. And a stream of people who grew
confident enough in the job market to start
looking for work.
The January report is a solid report in
disguise, said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a former director of the Congressional Budget
Office and president of the conservative
American Action Forum.
That seems especially true given that the
job gains come at a delicate time for the
U.S. economy. Analysts have warned that
the economy faces a growing risk of another recession within a year or two after having recovered only gradually from the Great
Recession. Economic weakness overseas
and reeling financial markets have slowed
growth and squeezed manufacturers.
Last months pay raises and the addition
of retail jobs suggest that consumers have
the resilience to bolster growth. Average
hourly wages have jumped 2.5 percent over
the past 12 months, evidence that years of
steady job growth are finally helping generate pay raises for more Americans.
The strong fundamentals in the jobs
report could make the Federal Reserve some-
what more likely to raise rates again this

year a prospect that likely contributed to
a sharp sell-off in stocks. The Dow Jones
industrial average tumbled 211 points or
about 1.3 percent.
The wage numbers were the most encouraging bit of news all around, said Carl
Tannenbaum, chief economist at Northern
Trust.
Tannenbaum said the figures gave him
extra comfort that the expansion wasnt
sliding toward an untimely conclusion.
With the unemployment rate now 4.9 percent its lowest level since 2008 many
workers have managed to gain raises
because their employers have had to offer
better incentives to compete for talent. The
unemployment rate dipped in January even
though a sizable 502, 000 more people
began hunting for jobs.
That reversed a trend in which the unemployment rate had been dropping for a discouraging reason: Jobseekers had stopped
looking for work and were no longer counted as unemployed.
Wage growth is a crucial indicator for the
Fed, which is weighing whether to raise
interest rates in the face of global risks that
could imperil broader economic growth. The
Fed wants to see earnings accelerate after
years of sluggish gains.
In December, the Fed boosted rates from
record lows. But investors have largely dismissed the likelihood of a rate hike at the
next Fed meeting in March. The January
jobs report, with a slowdown in job growth
but a pickup in wages, complicates the outlook for the Fed.
Hopeful sign for U.S.:

Job hunting ticks up
By Christopher S. Rugaber
WASHINGTON For most of an agonizingly slow recovery from the Great

Recession, millions of out-of-work
Americans huddled on the sidelines of the
job market. Yet Fridays jobs report added to
evidence of a long-awaited shift:
Some have grown confident enough to
start looking for work.
The percentage of Americans working or
looking for a job, though still historically
low, rose for the third time in four months.
Its now at its highest level since May.
Americans in their prime working years
ages 25 through 54 are driving the
i mp ro v emen t an d o ffs et t i n g p o werful
demographic forces pushing in the other
direction. In particular, the vast baby
boom generation is retiring, which is
reducing the proportion of adults with
jobs or looking for one.

This has created a tug of war, says
Joshua Shapiro, chief U.S. economist at
forecasting firm MFR, Inc., between rising
retirements and the employment opportunities created by an improved economy.
The fact that weve stabilized now after a
long decline suggests people are finally
getting enticed back into the labor force,
Shapiro said. The workforce includes both
people who are employed and those looking
for jobs.
Earlier in the recovery, increasing retirements and sluggish hiring were pushing in
the same direction. The result: A sharp drop
in the proportion of adults in the workforce.
The unemployment rate fell. But the reason
was nothing to cheer: With fewer people
seeking jobs, fewer people were counted as
unemployed.
Now, the trend is more promising. More
people are looking for work.
backlog for maintenance work

WASHINGTON The National Park

Service is celebrating its 100th anniversary
this year, but the system faces a multibillion dollar maintenance backlog that officials say is no cause for rejoicing.
Long-delayed projects range from replacing water works at the Grand Canyon to
making sure the Jefferson Memorial doesnt
sink into the Tidal Basin to improving
roads at Yosemite National Park.
The bill for deferred work is nearly $12
billion nationwide a $440 million
increase over last year. About half the total
is for road work. The remainder is for buildings, campgrounds, trails and infrastructure
such as water systems and wastewater treatment.
Hoping to take advantage of the Park
Services August centennial, President
Barack Obama has proposed spending $900
million over three years to reduce the backlog, with another $300 million targeted for
restoration projects.
Park Service Director Jonathan Jarvis said
the annual bill for maintaining Americas
national parks is nearly twice as much as
appropriated by Congress, with expenses
growing every year.

Congress unites in scorn
for Shkreli, but gridlock remains
WASHINGTON A smirking Martin Shkreli briefly united Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill this week, as
lawmakers took turns blasting the pricehiking former CEO who has become the
new poster child for corporate greed.
But the gridlocked state of Congress
virtually assures federal efforts to lower
drug prices will remain in limbo for
years. And even then, experts warn that
the options available to Congress would
not stop companies like Turing
Pharmaceuticals, where Shkreli engiMartin Shkreli neered a 5000 percent price increase of a
critical anti-infection drug.
For now, experts say the worst lawmakers can do is give
price-gouging executives a verbal lashing before their committees. Richard Evans, a pharmaceutical analyst for SSR,
says that wont be enough to deter some companies.
If youre willing to take a public shaming and thats
the only counterweight to a price increase then you can
take the price increase, he said.
Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle took their best
rhetorical shots at Shkreli on Thursday, but he was mostly
mum. The 32-year-old entrepreneur repeatedly declined to
answer questions, citing his Fifth amendment right to avoid
self-incrimination.
Police officials quarrel

over effort to raise bar on force
WASHINGTON A police groups proposal that law
enforcement officers be required to do more than whats minimally required by law in violent encounters has spurred
anger and pushback from leading national groups representing chiefs and rank-and-file sworn officers.
The Police Executive Research Forum, a Washingtonbased think tank, last week unveiled its 30 new principles
that re-envision how officers use force after national outrage
over questionable shootings and violent arrests initially
sparked by the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown
in Ferguson, Missouri, police in 2014. Since then, incidents from New York to Texas often caught on bystander
or police camera have resulted in soul-searching among
officers as a wary public recoils from the violence thats
sometimes inherent in policing and frequently permitted by
law.
The police research groups recommendations include an
unprecedented acknowledgement by police professionals
that officers should go beyond the Supreme Court-adopted
basic legal standard that asks what a reasonable officer
would do in such situations, and encourage officers to focus
on preserving all lives, not just their own.
Two of the most influential police groups, the
International Association of Chiefs of Police and Fraternal
Order of Police, said they have problems with the proposals.

In Brazil, pregnant
women urged to be
cautious with a kiss
By Jenny Barchfield
and Jamey Keaten
RIO DE JANEIRO In a sign of

mounting global concern over the
Zika virus, health officials on
Friday warned pregnant women to
think twice about the lips they
kiss and called on men to use condoms with pregnant partners if
they have visited countries where
the virus is present.
U. N. officials also called on
many Catholic-majority countries
in Latin America to loosen their
abortion laws to allow women to
terminate pregnancies if they fear
the fetus may be at risk for a rare
birth defect that causes brain damage and an abnormally small head,
which may be linked to the virus.
The flurry of recommendations
began in Brazil, where a top
health official warned pregnant
women to be cautious with their
kisses.
Paulo Gadelha, president of the
Fiocruz research institute, told a
news conference that scientists
have found live virus in saliva and
urine samples, and the possibility
it could be spread by the two body
fluids requires further study.

He said that calls for pregnant
women to take special precautions, and suggested they avoid
kissing people other than a regular partner or sharing cutlery,
glasses and plates with people
who have symptoms of the virus.
This is not a generalized public
health measure, for the love of
God, he added, stressing both the
seriousness of the discovery and
reality that it was too soon to say
how it could impact the epidemic.
Fridays announcement coincided with the start of Carnival, a
five-day bacchanalia that sees
millions of people take part in
alcohol-fueled parties where kissing as many people as possible is
a top pastime. Gadelha underscored that the discovery neednt
alter Carnival plans for anyone
but pregnant women.
He also stressed that the Aedes
aegpyti mosquito, which spreads
dengue, chikungunya and yellow
fever as well as Zika, remains the
virus main vector and said the
fight against the mosquito should
be a top priority.
The Fiocruz team studied samples from two patients who

Luana Vieira, who was born with microcephaly, to a doctors appointment in Olinda, Brazil.
showed symptoms of Zika and
tested positive for the illness.
Tests on cell cultures showed the
virus in the samples was capable
of damaging the cells, meaning it
was active.
Myrna Bonaldo, who headed the
Fiocruz team behind the discovery, said she was particularly surprised the virus was found in urine
because Zika is generally thought
not to thrive in acidic mediums.
Each discovery is a surprise and
a new find for us, she said. For us

scientists, its extremely challenging to understand Zika virus.
Experts
greeted
Fridays
announcement with caution, saying the sample size was small and
noting little is known about how
the virus spreads.
Still, Dr. Elizabeth Talbot, a
professor of infectious diseases at
Dartmouth College, said it does
create further concern.
This virus is clearly throwing
one curve ball after the other, she

said.
Asked about the guidance to
pregnant women, Dr. Susan
Donelan, medical director of the
epidemiology department at
Stony Brook University Hospital,
said: I can understand the
Brazilian Health Ministry being
concerned about not leaving out
any potential mechanism for
transmission, even if its theoretical.
Assange sex case sinks in international quagmire

By Gregory Katz
and Jamey Keaten
LONDON It started more than

five years ago as what appeared to
be a fairly simple sex crime case:
two women in Sweden came forward to accuse Julian Assange of
sexual misconduct.
Now the case has mutated into a
complicated international drama
involving Britain, Sweden, the
United States, Ecuador, a host of
human rights lawyers and the
United Nations.
But when the

dust
settles
from an unexpected
U. N.
w o r k i n g
groups finding
Friday
that
Assange
has
been unlawfully
detained, the
Julian Assange painful stalemate is expected to continue, and Assange
though claiming full vindication
will most likely remain cooped
up in the Ecuadorean Embassy in
London.
The panel said his stay at the

embassy which he entered voluntarily in 2012 constitutes
arbitrary detention and that he
should be set free and compensated
for lost time.
Lawyer and legal blogger Carl
Gardner said the finding beggars
belief and pointed out it isnt
legally binding.
Nobody will have to do anything, as a result of this finding,
he said.
The sex crime allegations came
at the height of Assanges fame as

organization that had made a name

for itself by releasing hundreds of

thousands of pages of classified
government documents. He had
challenged, and embarrassed, U.S.
officials with his disclosures, and
feared a secret indictment in U.S.
courts that could lead to prosecution there.
One woman said Assange intentionally damaged a condom and
pinned her down while having
sex. A second woman said Assange
had sex with her without a condom
while she was asleep. In Sweden,
having sex with an unconscious,
drunk or sleeping person can lead
to a rape conviction punishable
by up to six years in prison.

A Swedish investigation into
the crimes was launched, then
dropped for lack of evidence, and
then started again as prosecutors
sought to question Assange about
possible molestation and rape.
The computer hacker facing
no criminal charges left Sweden
for Britain, and the legal palaver
begun.
Once he left, it became much
more complicated for Swedish
prosecutors to determine if the
evidence against him was convincing enough to merit a criminal charge.

Cowen & Co. analyst Doug Creutz said
Friday that a whole slew of investors who had
piled into the stock on the hope that media
titan John Malone would use it as a vehicle to
buy up more companies were now dumping it

from being part of Lions Gate, a Canadian

companies shed education, transportation and temporary workers. That was

below economists forecasts of
185,000 new jobs, according to data
from FactSet.
The report included some positive
signs, however. The unemployment
rate fell to 4.9 percent from 5 percent,
the lowest level since February 2008.
Average wages jumped 2.5 percent over
the past year to $25.39 an hour, evidence that the past years of job growth
are helping to generate larger pay raises.
Its a rather difficult report to interpret. It confirms there has been some
deceleration in the U.S. economy.
Were not falling off the cliff, but it
clearly shows the U.S. economy is not
immune to the global slowdown, said
Russ Koesterich, global market strategist with asset manager BlackRock.
The jobs report, while less than what
economists were looking for, still
showed that the U.S. economy is growing, albeit slowly. The report caused the
dollar to strengthen against other currencies, reversing some of the last two
days of declines.
The report also raised a new worry
about Federal Reserve interest rate policy. Investors had been betting in recent
weeks that a slowing U.S. economy
might prompt the Federal Reserve to

delay plans to raise interest rates. But
the Fed could see the data showing the
growth in hourly wages as an early sign
of inflation, which in turn might cause
them to keep raising rates even in a
slowing economy, Koesterich said.
You have the possibility of soft
growth and monetary tightening, and
thats not a great place to be as an
investor, he said.
Technology stocks were hit hard by
disappointing results from professional social network company LinkedIn
and data analysis company Tableau
Software. LinkedIn shares dropped
$83.90, or 44 percent, to $108.38, its
worst single-day performance in the
companys history. The company provided a weak outlook for 2016 and
announced it was winding down an
advertising platform that was supposed
to be a new venture.
Tableau Software plunged $40.40, or
49 percent, to $41.33 after the data analytics company reported a wider-thanexpected loss and its software license
revenue missed analysts predictions.
Tableaus dismal results spread to other
software
companies,
like
Salesforce.com, which fell 13 percent,
and Adobe Systems, which fell 8 percent.
Twitter moves to seek

out terrorist supporters
By Tami Abdollah
WASHINGTON Twitter is now using

spam-fighting technology to seek out
accounts that might be promoting terrorist
activity and is examining other accounts
related to those flagged for possible
removal, the company announced Friday.
The announcement demonstrated efforts
by Twitter to automatically identify tweets
supporting terrorism, reflecting increased
pressure placed by the U.S. government for
social media companies to respond to abuse
more proactively. Child pornography has
previously been the only abuse that was
automatically flagged for human review on
social media, using a different kind of technology that sources a database of known
images.
Twitter also said Friday it has suspended
more than 125,000 accounts for threatening
or promoting terrorist acts, mainly related
to Islamic State militants, in the last eight
months. Social media has increasingly

become a tool for recruitment and radicalization thats used by the Islamic State group
and its supporters, who by some reports
have sent tens of thousands of tweets per
day.
Tech companies are dedicating increasingly more resources to tracking reports of violent threats. Twitter said Friday that it has
increased the size of its team reviewing
reports to reduce their response time significantly. The San Francisco-based company also changed its policy in April,
adding language to make clear that threatening or promoting terrorism specifically
counted as abusive behavior and violated its
terms of use.
The White House on Friday said Twitters
announcement was very much welcome.
The administration is committed to taking every action possible to confront and
interdict terrorist activities wherever they
may occur, including in cyberspace, and we
welcome constructive steps from our private
sector partners, the White House said.
LinkedIn shares plunge almost 44 percent

By Brandon Bailey
SAN FRANCISCO Investors gave

LinkedIn a poor job review Friday in the
form of a dramatic sell-off that wiped out
nearly $11 billion in the professional networking sites market value.
A surprise forecast for slower growth this
year sent LinkedIn shares into a stomachturning plunge of almost 44 percent.
After the market closed Thursday, the
online company reported better-thanexpected earnings for the last quarter but
warned that revenue would fall short of what

analysts had projected for 2016. It also said
it was discontinuing a new online advertising system that hadnt worked out.
Several analysts noted that LinkedIn has a
track record of issuing conservative forecasts and later beating them, but this time
investors were shaken by the companys
financial guidance. The stock closed Friday
at $108. 38 after its worst slide since
LinkedIn went public in 2011.
LinkedIn said it expects revenue of about
$3.6 billion to $3.65 billion for this year,
while analysts surveyed by FactSet were
projecting sales of $3.9 billion.
Apple accepting your banged-up iPhone

NEW YORK Apple for the first time is

accepting banged up iPhones as a trade-in
from those wanting to upgrade.
Until now, Apple offered credit to iPhone
owners only if the device had an intact
screen and working buttons. Apple hopes
that with more leeway, applicable only to
iPhone 5 and later models, more people will
upgrade to new iPhones.
Apple has told investors that it may book
its first revenue decline in 13 years when it
reports quarterly earnings in April due in

part to weakness in the global economy.
But the smartphone market has matured as
well after a years-long streak of blistering
hot demand.
Apple relies on the iPhone for two-thirds
of its revenue.
Tech blogs have speculated about an
iPhone 7 to be released in the fall with dual
cameras and wireless earbuds.
Apple pays up to $350 for phones without
cracked screens or broken buttons.

CSM holds off Siskiyous 1-1 draw
shakes up
standings
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
With three straight wins to start the season, the College of San Mateo softball
team has done nothing to tarnish its No. 1
ranking among California Community
College teams.
For a team that is accustomed to making
big statements, however the Bulldogs
have outscored opponents 29-1 through
their rst three games Fridays 3-0 win
over College of the Siskiyous showcased
another side of CSMs softball virtuosity.
While two Bulldogs pitchers combined
on a ve-hit shutout, it was the sterling
defense played behind them that kept
Siskiyous off the board. While there were
no web-gem caliber plays to highlight,
CSMs solid fundamentals, time and again,
saved the extra base, which led to Siskiyous
stranding eight base runners in the game.
The defense is playing well, CSM head
coach Nicole Borg said. Thats a really
high point, especially when your offense
isnt putting runs on the board.
While the typically potent Bulldogs
offense currently ranks seventh in the state
with a .410 batting average, they managed
to scratch out just three runs Friday. But
after jumping out to a rst-inning lead when
sophomore Harlee Donovan rocketed an
RBI double to center eld to score Meagan
Wells, the CSM defense went on lockdown.
CSMs incremental defensive gains actually started in the top of the rst to help
CSM starting pitcher Morgan Jones escape
a bases-loaded jam. After a two-out walk to
Jena Ovens, cleanup hitter Maggie
Waymire laced a single to left-center; but
Bulldogs freshman center elder Kristen
Kowaki, who had been shading toward
right-center, sprinted to the opposite gap
to cut the ball off, holding Ovens at third.
Then in the fourth inning, CSM turned in
a series of critical defensive plays to strand
two more Siskiyous runners in scoring
position. The Eagles started the potential
rally with Sage Gomes throwing a are
down the left-eld line for a single. The
knock had double written all over it, had

The final few weeks of the Peninsula

season should be a doozy.
Going into Friday, Aragon, MenloAtherton and Sequoia were all tied atop the
table, with the Bears and Cherokees squaring off in Atherton.
Those teams battled to a 1-1 tie, which,
coupled with Aragons 2-0 win over
Hillsdale, dropped both M-A and Sequoia
two points behind the division-leading
Dons.
But none of that was on the minds of the
Bears and Cherokees as they hooked up in
what has become one of the best soccer
rivalries on the Peninsula.
M-A certainly did enough to deserve the
win. The Bears outshot the Cherokees 1913, with 10 of those shots on frame.
Despite outplaying Sequoia in the first
half, the best the Bears could do was be
scoreless at halftime.
Sequoia played much better and was much
more dangerous in the second half and the
Cherokees managed to get on the scoreboard first in the 61st minute but, with
about nine minutes left to play, M-A found
the equalizer.
We had plenty of chances to put the
game away, said M-A coach Leo Krupnik.

Manning last game? Newtons finest moment? Well see

By Barry Wilner
SANTA CLARA Peyton Mannings last

game? Cam Newtons finest moment?
For all the golden tinge the NFL is placing on Super Bowl 50, this one just might
come down to how the two star quarterbacks
deal with the dynamic defenses bent on
humbling them.
There cant be a better storyline than a
five-time MVP likely to take his final snaps
with a championship on the line. Except,
perhaps, the leagues rising star carrying
his franchise to its first NFL title in the face
of detractors.
Throw in those defenses: Denvers ranks first

overall in many statistics and certainly in
intimidation, with a pass
rush capable of neutralizing any air game;
Carolinas makes gamechanging plays to the
tune of a league-high 39
Peyton
takeaways and a plus-20
Manning
turnover margin.
Add in a pair of coaches at the peak of
their NFL careers, a relatively new stadium
with nearly all imaginable technology, and
a half-century of Americas biggest game
and the intrigue meter hits the stratosphere.

If you have any appreciation for the
game, and certainly you have watched Super

sibling that has played in the Super Bowls,
Manning says, ,it does make it maybe
even more special.

Its his fourth Super

the relocation

issue came up in
a hurry.
NFL Commissioner Roger
Goodell pledged Friday to do
everything possible to help
Oakland and the San Diego
Chargers work to get new stadiums
in their current markets.
The league supports both of
these teams, but we are working
very hard with not only the teams,
but the communities to try to nd a
solution that works for everybody, Goodell said at his annual
Super Bowl week news conference.
This has to work for the communities, and it has to work for the
teams long term.
The Rams have moved to Los
Angeles from St. Louis and will
start playing there for the 2016
season. The Chargers are staying
put for the 2016 season, but chairman Dean Spanos has an option to
join the Rams at a new stadium
being built in Inglewood if the city
and team cant work out a deal.
The Raiders also wanted to move
to Los Angeles, and Davis might
now look at other cities if the franchise cant work out a stadium deal
with Oakland.
I think its great that Dean
Spanos and his family said, We
want to make this work in San

Were going to go and try to make
this work in San Diego, and we
will do everything we can to support that. The sames true for Mark
Davis. Mark Davis has a lot of
options.
Davis said he spoke with
Goodell this week, but wouldnt
elaborate on their conversation.
The teams lease at the Coliseum
expires Feb. 17 and the Raiders
have been in talks with the Joint
Powers Authority that runs the
Coliseum about extending the deal
for one year.
In terms of Goodells remarks
Friday, Davis said, What the
Commissioner said made sense.
Thats great news, Davis said.
I believe hes going to do whatever he can. Id love to. Were the
Oakland Raiders right now, thats
where its at.
But no doubt Las Vegas has him
intrigued.
Davis said Las Vegas is
absolutely a possible NFL city,
then added:
Again, theres timing, Davis
said. Its absolutely an NFL city.
Its an international city, its a
global city. The Raiders are a global brand, so its got potential.
And no, Davis, hasnt reconsidered his thoughts on sharing with
the San Francisco 49ers $1.3 billion, second-year Levis Stadium
host of Sundays 50th Super

Again, I just dont think it ts
the Raiders. All along and this is
the one thing I will say, and Ill say
it again for the 50th time, theres

The Raiders on game day, if
youre around our stadium, if you
see our parking lot before the

USC AD Pat Haden to step down in June

By Greg Beacham
LOS ANGELES The University of

Southern California hired Pat Haden to guide
its storied athletic department through the
toughest time in its history.
With that job largely done, USCs athletic
director and dedicated Trojan decided he was
ready for another role.
Haden will retire on June 30, school president Max Nikias announced Friday. Haden,
the 63-year-old former USC quarterback, will
start a one-year job guiding the renovation
of the Coliseum after leaving the athletic
department.
Pat has accomplished USCs objectives
here through his distinct blend of integrity,
energy, wisdom, and character, Nikias said
in a letter announcing the decision.
Haden has run USCs athletic department
for 5 1/2 years, taking over from Mike
Garrett in 2010 with a primary mandate to
lead the Trojans through a multiyear stretch
of NCAA sanctions against its vaunted football program.
USC endured a two-year bowl ban, proba-
tion and significant

scholarship losses for
alleged misdeeds surrounding
Heisman
Trophy-winning tailback
Reggie Bush during the
tenure of former coach
Pete Carroll.
Haden also persevered
through
recent health
Pat Haden
problems and criticism
around the ongoing saga of coach Steve
Sarkisians hiring and subsequent firing last
fall.
It has been a tremendous honor serving
my alma mater, a school I love so much, as
well as serving Max Nikias, our coaches and
staff and, most importantly, our student-athletes, Haden said. I am proud of what has
been accomplished here the past six years
and knowing that USC Athletics is on an
upward trajectory. I look forward to finishing
out this academic year as athletic director and
then spending time on the Coliseum project.
Haden created a large NCAA compliance
program and improved graduation rates and
grade point averages across the athletic

department. Nikias said Hadens department
restored the schools good working relationship with the NCAA while also raising over
$400 million during his tenure.
The ex-quarterback also made a point of
encouraging athletes to enjoy their college
experience outside of athletics. Overall,
Haden took on extraordinary responsibilities for many aspects of the athletic department, and his health declined in recent years.
He took on this role at a time when the
department faced unprecedented pressure,
externally and internally, requiring nothing
less than a Herculean effort to rebuild its
foundation for the long term, said Nikias, a
close friend who started his job on the same
day Haden took over the department.
USC is about to embark on an extensive
renovation of the 93-year-old Coliseum,
which will be the home of the NFLs Los
Angeles Rams this fall. Haden played for the
Rams from 1976-81 before becoming a
broadcaster, a practicing attorney and a successful partner of a private equity firm.
Haden cited unspecified health concerns
when he stepped down from the College
Football Playoff committee last October,

two weeks after he felt lightheaded and
required medical assistance on the sideline
during USCs football game at Notre Dame.
The AD wasnt specific about his health
problem, but he has a pacemaker.
Haden made four football head coaching
changes during his tenure, starting when he
fired Lane Kiffin at the airport five games
into the 2013 season. Ed Orgeron and Clay
Helton held the job on an interim basis
before Haden chose Sarkisian, only to fire
the former USC assistant last season.
Haden has endured criticism for the powerful football programs relative underachievement, winning no Pac-12 titles during his
tenure. The school also is still extricating
itself from the tenure of Sarkisian, who has
sued the school over his firing.
Sarkisian alleges he should have been
allowed to keep his job while seeking treatment for alcohol abuse, but Haden fired
Sarkisian in October and eventually promoted Helton to the full-time job. Haden made
the move before the Pac-12 title game,
bypassing the chance to pursue higher-profile candidates during bowl season.
Dave Mirra, BMX legend, dies at 41

host of MTVs Real World/Road Rules
Challenge.
Mirra was married and had two children.
Dave Mirra, your courage, determination
and natural skill in everything you pursued
pushed the world of action sports to become
a better place. From all of us at X Games and
ESPN, we salute your contributions, ESPN
said in a statement. Our sincere condolences go out to Daves wife, Lauren, his
daughters Mackenzie and Madison, the
BMX community and friends of Dave
Mirra.
Authorities in Greenville, North
Carolina, say they responded to an apparent
suicide and discovered his body in a truck.
They say he had been visiting friends in the
area.
Greenville Mayor Allen Thomas called
Mirra more than a sports figure. Hes a loving member of this community, and that
remains.
Thomas said Friday that he had talked with
Mirra for about 20 minutes outside a restaurant just hours before he died. Mirra had
some exciting things he wanted to plan for
children in Greenville, the mayor said.
Thomas said that while Mirra was known
around the world, to many in Greenville, he
was just a dad, just a friend.
Police Chief Mark Holtzman said the medical examiner on the scene said everything
appeared to be consistent with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Steve Astephen, a longtime family friend
and Mirras agent, released a statement on
behalf of the family saying: Daves wife
and family are shocked and saddened by the
loss of such a remarkable person whom they
loved so deeply. Thank you for your kind
thoughts and prayers and for respecting
their privacy through this difficult time.

M-As Jean Claverie, left, and Sequoias Oscar Bracamontes

battle for control of the ball during a 1-1 tie.
Im just glad we know how to come

back from that.
Sequoia goalkeeper Jhosse Prado had
something to do with the Bears frustrations. Prado finished the game with 10
saves including three from pointblank range. Late in the first half, M-A
(6-2-2) had another of its myriad
chances turned away by Prado on backto-back shots. The Bears Jean Claverie
made a run down the right side and got a
step on his defender to open up space for
a shot. He let it fly, only to be turned
away by Prado.
The rebound fell right to the foot of
M-As Imahn Dnabi but, just as he let
loose his shot, Prado smothered that
one as well.
Minutes later, Prado thwarted another
would-be scoring chance, this time
stoning Riu Sakaguchi.
[Prado] played an outstanding
game, said Sequoia coach Kevin Huber.
In the second half, Sequoia (6-2-2)
THE DAILY JOURNAL

cranked up its game offensively and the
Cherokees evened out the attack over
the final 40 minutes, as M-A managed
only one more shot than did Sequoia, 98.
We started off a little defensive
early, Huber said.
Despite the more potent attack by the
Cherokees, the Bears continued to pressure the Sequoia defense, coming up
empty on several quality scoring
chances.
Claverie was especially dangerous for
the Bears on the flank, but the sophomore struggled putting shots on goal.
Several times, with just Prado to beat,
Claverie shanked his shot.
He was far from alone, however.
[Friday] we were rushing, Krupnik
said. The guys who were getting
chances usually put them away.
Credit Claverie, however. He did not
let his offensive performance affect his
defensive play as he dropped into a
more defensive position over the final
minutes and helped keep Sequoia at bay.
The Cherokees finally broke the
stalemate in the 61st minute off a scramble in front of the M-A goal. The
Cherokees worked the ball into the
penalty box off a counterattack. Jesus

Guzman got off a shot that was blocked
by the M-A goalkeeper, but he gave up a
rebound. Adan Rangel was stationed in
front of the net and was right there to
poke home the rebound for a 1-0
Sequoia lead.
The goal forced the Bears to throw
everything they had at the Cherokees to
find the equalizer, which left them vulnerable to Sequoia counterattacks, but
M-A did well to recover defensively each
time.
Finally, in the 71st minute, simple
hustle paid off for the Bears. Nick
Jaudeleit intercepted a pass just outside
the Sequoia penalty box and broke in on
goal. The Cherokees defenders briefly
stopped playing, as they appealed to
the side linesman for an offside call.
None came and Jaudeleit had a prime
opportunity to tie the score. He avoided
a hard-charging Prado and calmly slotted home the equalizer.
The Bears continued to apply pressure
and three legitimate scoring chances in
the waning minutes, but Prado turned
them each time.
I felt we had a chance to win it at the
end, Krupnik said.

THE DAILY JOURNAL
Aragon rides defense to unorthodox win over San Mateo
the rst half, but San Mateo was even

worse, shooting at a 2-for-21 clip.
The rst half, our focus was defense and
rebounding and we knew the offense would
come eventually, Aragon senior Kimon
Economou said. They only scored six
points in the rst half. So, Id say thats
pretty good.
In the second half, the Aragon offense did
come as Economou said it would. San Mateo
opened the half with consecutive buckets to
close the lead to 14-10, but Aragon responded by hitting back-to-back 3-pointers to
spark a 10-point run.
After the Dons attempted just two 3pointers through the rst half missing
them both junior guard Aaron Balotro
dropped the rst 3 of the second half and
Economou quickly knocked down the other.
But thats just poison, Manu said of
attempting 3s. Were trying to get to the
pin and draw fouls.
Aragon did just that as the quarter progressed, and even thrilled with some razzledazzle in the process. On the nal play of
the third quarter, sophomore guard Davion
Cox pitched a dime to Economou for a
would-be alley-oop, had Economou opted to
dunk it. Instead, the senior captain settled
for a smooth lay-in on the highlight-reel
worthy play, staking the Dons to a 26-12
lead heading into the fourth quarter.
Its one of our stop plays against their
zone, Economou said. He threw it up and I
just stuck with it.
Following the game,
some of
Economous friends were chiding him about
not dunking on the play.
I should have, Economou said. I told
my friends I would, but I didnt come
through.
Economou came through for his team
though, scoring a game-high 11 points, all
of which came in the second half. He also
totaled a game-high seven rebounds.
Cox has played sparingly this season, but
came off the bench Friday to earn the most
minutes he has all season. He totaled seven
points in the game, six of which came during a quick urry in the second quarter. But it
was his periphery performance that earned
him the good chunk of playing time as the
sophomore notched ve rebounds, two
assists and ve steals.

Hes a special player, Manu said. But
sometimes the fundamentals can be lacking. Thats what were working on.
The Bearcats were paced by sophomore
guard Dahareeha Allens seven points, all
coming in the second half. Intent on making a run at it in the fourth quarter, it proved
too late for the Bearcats, who scored 17
points in the nal eight minutes, more than
they did in the previous three quarters combined.
We needed to speed up the tempo, San
Mateo head coach Marvin Lui said. I think
both teams played tough defense but we
werent getting to the pin.
After facing their biggest decit of the
night at 31-14 just over a minute into the
fourth quarter, the Bearcats closed the game
on a 15-7 run.
We rely a lot on momentum, Lui said.
Our defense denitely feeds off our offense
and I think thats what we started to do in
the second half.
San Mateo was severely handicapped by
playing without its scoring leader, who was
benched Friday for disciplinary reasons. Lui
said he doesnt know if or when the player
will return this season.
For Aragon, its postseason hopes now go
through Carlmont and Hillsdale, the Dons
nal two opponents of the regular season.
Both teams are below .500 in league play
this year. The Dons must win at least one of
those games to be eligible to apply for a
Central Coast Section playoff bid.
If we play like we did today, Im really
condent about the rest of the year, Manu
said. Its not a ash in the pan.
Donovan CSMs full-time catcher this

season then turned in a nice scoop on a
pitch in the dirt to keep the runner at third
from scoring on a wild pitch.
A career catcher, up until last year,
Donovan played mostly third base as a
freshman with now-graduated Lelani Akai
catching a majority of the innings. But after
seeing some game time behind the plate last
year, and catching nearly every day in practice, Donovan has managed a seamless
move back behind the plate.
I felt I was up to speed (on opening day),
even though I had the rst-game nerves,
Donovan said. But today I settled right in.
Donovans rst-inning RBI single
showed how shes settled in at the plate as
well. Currently hitting .500 (5 for 10) with
one home run and six RBIs, CSMs No. 3
hitter had to get creative to produce in her
initial at-bat. With Meagan Wells on second
base and rst base open, Donovan chased
two balls out of the strike zone before dropping the hammer on a low changeup to get
the Bulldogs on the board.
The California home run queen last season
with 20 bombs, Donovan said the approach
she took Friday wasnt optimum. But, whatever it takes to get the job done.
I wouldnt say thats my game plan, but
today thats what worked, Donovan said.
It isnt that Donovan isnt capable of
exercising patience. She drew a leadoff walk
in the fourth. Then after a sharp single to
left by cleanup hitter Jordan Davis,
Donovan scooted home on a wild pitch.
Dean later delivered a two-out single to
drive home Davis.
In the circle, Jones worked ve shutout
innings before giving way to Dean, who
red two perfect frames to close it out, with
more help from Meagan Wells who again
ashed some shortstop skills with two nice
plays in the seventh.
The sister act of Meagan and Riley Wells

who are one year apart are a staple of
San Mateo softball, dating back to their
days playing ASA club softball starting
with Meagan Wells 12-year-old season.
They also played three years together at
Hillsdale.

How Friday nights crosstown matchup

between Aragon and San Mateo boys basketball turned into an upbeat shootout is
anyones guess. The Dons, however, were
insistent the low-scoring 38-29 win at San
Mateo was all by design.
The win is certainly a critical one. Not
only does it extend the Dons current winning streak to a season-best three games.
With it, they reach the . 500 mark in
Peninsula Athletic League South Division
play for the rst time this season. With two
games to go, and with a sub-.500 record in
non-league play, keeping their proverbial
head above water of a .500 record is the only
way Aragon (5-5 in PAL South, 9-13 overall) can reach the postseason.
The reason for Aragons recent upswing is
head coach Sam Manu putting an emphasis
on defense and rebounding. The strategy
certainly paid off Friday, as Aragon hasnt
held an opponent to fewer than 29 points
since the 2011-12 season in Manus third
career game as the varsity head coach.
The last two weeks weve said lets be
good at one thing, Manu said So, lets be
good at defense.
The beginnings of Fridays defensive
showdown seemed torturous for both teams.
Aragon scored just one basket in the rst
quarter, but San Mateo didnt do much better.
The Bearcats (2-8, 9-13) held a slight 5-2
lead after the rst quarter, but managed just 1
point in the second as Aragon took a 14-6
lead into halftime.
Aragon shot just 4 of 20 from the eld in
CSM
it not been for freshman shortstop Meagan
Wells chasing down the ball in foul territory and hurrying it back to the ineld.
Thats always something in the back of
my head, Meagan Wells said. It helps my
pitcher to know were going to play defense
behind her. Anytime we do that, shes going
to pitch better. Defense is key. Its
always a priority to get it done.
Not only did Meagan Wells play prove
key when Siskiyous sophomore Alex
Peruzzi followed with a double up the rightcenter gap. But CSM right elder Riley
Wells made quick work playing the ball off
the wall and hitting younger sister Meagan
Wells with the cutoff throw to keep the runners at second and third.
TERRY BERNAL/DAILY JOURNAL
Aragon junior Carlos Pagaduan throws up a

jumper in the Dons 38-29 win at San Mateo.
I love it, Meagan Wells said of playing

together again. Especially back-to-back at
the top of the order. Were always known as
the Well-y sisters. Its good to bring it to
another level.
No t e : CSM now travels to Gavilan
College for a doubleheader Saturday. The
Bulldogs rematch with Siskiyous in the rst
game at noon, then take on Gavilan at 2
p.m. The games were originally scheduled
to be played at CSM, but were moved to
Gilroy to accommodate the trafc from CSM
hosting the Wounded Warrior Amputee
Football Team vs. NFL Alumni game.

Hahn shoots 65 to take

lead at Phoenix Open
By John Nicholson
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. James

Hahn has settled down a lot since
his wild days and nights at
the University of California led to
the end of his college career. He
still knows how to have a good
time.
That was on display again Friday
at the golf party known as the
Waste Management Phoenix
Open, where Hahn took the lead
with a bogey-free 6-under 65 in
breezy conditions.
Im having fun out there, Hahn
said.
He wasnt alone at TPC
Scottsdale.
An estimated 160,415 fans, not
counting a large bobcat that sauntered between the first and second
holes in the afternoon, packed the
grounds. The crowd broke the
Friday record of 123,674 set in
2014 and was

the 10th-largest
figure for any
day in tournament history.
Hawn became
an internet sensation in 2013
when he celeJames Hahn brated a birdie
on the rowdy
par-3 16th with a Gangnam
Style dance.
Its the one week out of the year
where youre allowed to do anything you want and not get fined,
Hahn said. Its good for golf,
good for the game, good for the
fans that come out here. They support the golf tournament, so
might as well give them a show.
On Friday, he did 10 pushups
after teeing off on the stadium
16th.
They came out to watch the gun
show, so I popped them out right
there on the tee box, Hahn said.

Hahn had a 10-under 132 total
on the Stadium Course to enter the
weekend a stroke ahead of Rickie
Fowler and Danny Lee. Fowler
birdied his final hole for a 68, and
Lee had a 66.
Hahn opened with a chip-in
birdie on the par-4 10th and
birdied the two back-nine par 5s,
making a 30-footer on the 13th
and hitting a wedge to 7 feet on the
15th. On his final nine, he hit a
wedge to 3 feet to set up a birdie on
the par-4 second, chipped to 3 feet
for another birdie on the par-5
third, and took the outright lead
with a 10-footer on the par-4
sixth.
Sleeping in my own bed this
week, live about 10 minutes
away, Hahn said. I have played
this course a hundred times. The
only thing different about the
course today, as any other day, is
the greens are better.
DraftKings pushing into UK

By Philip Marcelo
BOSTON As its industry continues to tangle with U.S. policymakers, daily fantasy sports giant
DraftKings is making its long-anticipated international push with a
launch Friday in the United
Kingdom.
The Boston-based company was
granted a license by U.K. gambling
regulators in August and had hoped to
launch by the end of 2015. But the
release was pushed to early this year,
with officials saying the websites
software was still being finalized.
The focus has been on getting the
product right, Jeff Haas, the companys London-based chief international officer, said by phone. Any
delays that may have occurred were
not due to what was happening in the
U.S.
The legality of daily fantasy sports
has been challenged in states including Hawaii, Illinois, New York and
Texas. Nevada declared them gambling operations that need to be
licensed. The online games involve
players who pay to compete against
each other for cash prizes by assembling teams of real life athletes and
scoring fantasy points based on
how they do in real games.
Matching the industrys explosive
growth in the U.S. is far from certain:
DraftKings will have to go up
against a lucrative, well-entrenched
sports gambling industry in the U.K.
something it did not face in the
U.S., where sports betting is largely
illegal.
The United Kingdom is an incredibly competitive market for online
sports wagering, says Chris Grove,
editor of the Legal Sports Report
website in Nevada. If theyre simply
competing with established operators for share of the existing cus-
tomer wallet for sports betting, then

theyre facing an impressive challenge.
Hass says DraftKings is focused on
showing U.K. customers how different daily fantasy sports is from traditional sports betting. He hopes the
company can draw up to 100,000
players in the first year.
Were a pure game of skill. People
use their brain in order to be successful, Haas said. We also offer players
the opportunity to play against each
other, not just in large pools of people across the world, but among their
friends and family.
DraftKings will also have to ramp
up the product itself, which has been
launched initially in the U.K. as a
smartphone app and is not yet set up
to take direct credit and debit card
deposits, says David Copeland, CEO
of SuperLobby.com, a U.K.-based
firm that tracks daily fantasy sports
spending.

Prop bets rule Vegas for Super Bowl

By Tim Dahlberg
Jay Kornegay still finds it

painful to talk about the last time
the Denver Broncos were in the
Super Bowl and the first snap of
the game went over Peyton
Mannings head for a Seattle safety.
For some reason, a lot of bettors
at the Westgate Las Vegas
SuperBook had put money on a 601 longshot that the first score of
the games for the Seahawks would
be that safety.
It cost us a healthy six figures
in the first six seconds of the
game, Kornegay said. Luckily
we ended up making it up.
Such is the way with so-called
prop bets, which tantalize bettors with promises of big payoffs.
Unlike point spreads and money
lines they can vary wildly from
sports book to sports book, and
sometimes bookies can take a
bath.
At the Westgate there are nearly
400 such bets on the board this
year, with wagers available on
everything from if Manning will
throw a touchdown or interception
first to whether Panthers receiver
Ted Ginn Jr. has a rushing attempt.
Kornegay says at least half of
what he expects could be a record-
NFL
two-minute drives, or a fourth-andgoal from the 2-yard line. The
more experience you have, you
can use that to help you.
Newton doesnt have that background yet. But he was the NFLs
most dominant and sometimes
most polarizing player this
season. No one has more fun playing the game than the 2010
Heisman Trophy winner, 2011 top
overall draft pick and 2015 All-Pro
quarterback who threw for 35
touchdowns and ran for 10.
If Manning represents the old
guard, Newton with his celebrations, dabbing and just plain coolness is the future.
In most cases the books need a boring Super Bowl,

with limited scoring and limited crazy things like
safeties and overtimes. Im not saying Im rooting for a
10-7 game, but if that happens we will do well.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Goodell vows to help

Oakland, San Diego
teams get new venues
By Howard Fendrich
Jay Kornegay, Bookmaker at Westgate Las Vegas
setting handle on the Super Bowl

will be on the props, with the
average fan betting four or five of
them along with money on the traditional point spread.
Since casual fans like to bet on
things to happen the yes on
many of the props Kornegay
and other bookies say a Super
Bowl game without much action
could be a big winner for them.
In most cases the books need a
boring Super Bowl, with limited
scoring and limited crazy things
like safeties and overtimes, he
said. Im not saying Im rooting
for a 10-7 game, but if that happens we will do well.
Oddsmaker Jimmy Vaccaro is
credited with helping start the
trend toward prop bets, thanks to
one big loss he took while running the MGM Grand sports book
in 1985. It came when William
Refrigerator Perry, the bruising
325-pound lineman for the Bears
who had rushed the ball a few times
during the year, scored from the 1yard-line in the third quarter of a
blowout win over New England.

At 40-1 odds against Perry scoring, the book took a beating.
We lost almost $50,000, but it
turned out to be the best money we
ever spent, Vaccaro said. Just the
publicity was worth that much, and
that was the catalyst to where we
are now.
Vaccaro doesnt expect to lose
that kind of money on any of the
270 props he has up at the South
Point hotel-casino, a sports book
not afraid of a little action. He is,
however, getting a lot of action on
a prop on whether Manning will
take the last snap of the game for
the Broncos.
Bettors who think Manning
wont finish the game for any
number of reasons can get a 4-1
payoff if he doesnt.
A lot of people will be rooting
for an injury, Vaccaro said. Its
just a guess because who knows?
But there are other reasons he
might not be in the game, like
being replaced by the backup if he
is not effective.
Some media compared Newton

to Usain Bolt.
Really? Newton says, entertained by the comparison. I got
the opportunity to meet Usain last
year. He was a cool guy. He was
like real cool, you know? Like
internationally cool. Im just
locally cool, you know?
Bolt owns a vault full of gold
medals. Newton goes for the gold
of Super Bowl 50.
with cornerback Josh Norman, the

Panthers have playmakers all
over. Safety Kurt Coleman tied for
the NFC lead with seven interceptions and added two in the playoffs. DT Kawann Short is a disruptive force and had 11 sacks.
That unit struggled in the second
half of the divisional-round win
over Seattle, but it has a superior
offense that scored 500 regularseason points to provide balance.
The most vivid memory of
January football this year has to
be Denvers full-out assault on
Tom Brady. While Newton is far
more adept at avoiding the pressure than Brady is, he doesnt have
Bradys surgical skills at dissecting a defense.

formidable obstacle for Newton.
Coaches
Ron Rivera was tagged with the
nickname Riverboat Ron years
ago. Hes not truly a gambling
coach, more someone who lets his
players do what they do best.
Sometimes that means taking
chances, such as a reverse to Ted
Ginn Jr. that resulted in a 22-yard
TD in the NFC championship
game.
Rivera has guided Carolina to
three straight NFC South crowns,
and couldnt be more popular with
his players because he gives us

Mark Davis has a lot of options. The

10, 2016, I didnt think too
much of it. I vaguely knew the
celebrity by name, but I hadnt listened to
his songs, and I never watched
Labyrinth. But every media outlet was
flooded with his name for the next few
days, and I knew more than a few people
who were deeply saddened by the news.
At first, I couldnt wrap
my head around their sadness. Bowie wasnt
someone close to them.
They had never met him,
and they probably hadnt
thought about Bowie for
a long time, since he fell
out of the mainstream
media. Yet they were still
so sad, as if they had lost someone dear to
them.
I tried to relate to their sadness by learning more about Bowie. I listened to some
of his music, and read about his advocacy
for LGBT individuals. His music was good,
and he seemed like an amazing person, but
I still couldnt understand how someone
could feel sad about someone they didnt
know.
I finally understood what they were going
through a few days later. On Jan. 14, 2016,
Alan Rickman died. The media wasnt
stormed way it was with Bowie, but it was
still a pretty big deal.
Even though Bowie and Rickman were
the same age, I knew Rickman much better.
As the actor who played Snape in the Harry
Potter movies, his face was a staple of my
childhood. I hadnt seen Rickman much
anywhere else I hadnt even seen him as
Hans Gruber in Die Hard. Yet I was still
flooded with sadness, in the same way that
people were flooded with sadness when
Bowie died.
I slowly began to understand, why I was
sad, why they were sad. When you grow up
with someone, whether its a celebrity that
youve never met or a teacher that you saw
every day, you develop a connection with
them. With an amazing actor like Alan

TRAFFIC TICKET AND INFRACTION
AMNES TY PROGRAM IS UNDERWAY! On June 24, 2015, the governor
signed into law a one-time amnesty program for unpaid traffic and non-traffic
infraction tickets. This amnesty program
does not apply to parking tickets, reckless
driving and DUI offenses. Discounts of up
to 80 percent on fines are possible. Here are
some basic questions and answers about the
program.
WHEN WILL THE AMNESTY PROGRAM BE AVAILABLE? The program
began October 1, 2015, and ends March 31,
2017.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE IN THE
AMNESTY PROGRAM? There are two
groups of people who can participate in the
amnesty program: Persons with unpaid
tickets whose fines were originally due to
be paid on or before January 1, 2013, who
have not made a payment after Sept. 30,
2015, may be eligible to have both their
debt reduced by 50 percent or 80 percent
depending on income and their drivers
license reinstated, unless an exclusion discussed below applies. Persons who made a
payment after Sept. 30, 2015, on a ticket
are not eligible for a reduction for that ticket, but may be eligible to have their drivers
license reinstated if they are in good standing on a payment plan with a comprehensive collection program. Persons with more
than one ticket may not be eligible for a
reduction on an individual ticket if the eligibility criteria are not satisfied for the
ticket. Please check with your court for additional information. Any persons eligible to
have a drivers license (including undocumented individuals who are eligible for a
drivers license under AB 60) are entitled to
participate in the traffic amnesty program if
they meet the eligibility requirements.

WHO CANNOT PARTICIPATE IN
THE AMNESTY PROGRAM? Eligible
persons may be excluded from the amnesty
program if they owe victim restitution on a
case or have certain outstanding misdemeanor or felony warrants.
WHAT IF I MADE A PAYMENT
AFTER SEPT. 3 0 , 2 0 1 5 ? People ineligible due to timing may still have their drivers license returned, but will not have
their fines reduced on tickets with a payment after the deadline.
WHAT TICKETS ARE ELIGIB LE
FOR AMNESTY? Any infraction may
qualify for amnesty. Unpaid tickets and
related failure to appear violations with
an initial payment due date on or before Jan.
1, 2013, are eligible. Individual superior
courts and counties may extend this program to include some misdemeanors.
HOW MUCH WILL I HAVE TO PAY?
Under the amnesty program, eligible participants will not have to pay any civil assessments. Once the civil assessment amounts
are deducted, the remaining balance owed
will be reduced by 50 percent to 80 percent
depending on income or receipt of specified
public benefits. The discount will be 80 percent for those who certify that they make
125 percent or less than the federal poverty
level $14, 712 for an individual, or
A California amnesty program for unpaid traffic and non-traffic infraction tickets runs until March
31, 2017. Discounts of up to 80 percent on fines are possible.
$30,312 for a family of four or who
receive public assistance. The discount will
be 50 percent for all other eligible participants.
HOW CAN I APPLY? If you meet the
above eligibility criteria, you must complete and submit a Participation
Form/Affidavit to the Courts Traffic
Division at 500 County Center in Redwood
City (for infraction citations filed in
Traffic) or Criminal Division at 400 County
Center, fourth floor in Redwood City (for
infraction citations filed in Criminal). A
$50 amnesty program fee is required to participate. The Department of Motor Vehicles
will also charge a separate $55 drivers
license reinstatement fee for those eligible
and requesting reinstatement of their drivers license. You may submit your
Participation Form/Affidavit during regular
court clerks office counter hours 8 a.m.

to
2
p. m.
Monday
to
Friday.
Participation/Affidavit forms and information are available on the courts website at
www.sanmateocourt.org or at the Traffic and
Criminal Clerks Offices.
WILL THERE BE AN INSTALLMENT
PAYMENT OPTION? Yes, a payment plan
option will be available through the superior court, county or third-party collections
vendors and payments scheduled under the
plan will be based on the ability to pay.

John Oliver, about to return to

about the topics Last Week Tonight

He will, however, be ending a moratorium about discussion of the presidential campaign. The show

XCOM 2 looks lovely, but it is marred by technical hiccups,

with the action slowing down or freezing all too frequently.
In XCOM 2, Earthlings
try to get the bugs out
By Lou Kesten
When the aliens come and they will dont expect the
government to save us. If youve ever watched The XFiles, you know half of them are in cahoots with the
invaders anyway.
Besides, we tried that already in 2012s XCOM: Enemy
Unknown. In XCOM 2 (2K, for the PC, $59.95), we find
out that all our efforts were for naught. Twenty years have
elapsed, and the extraterrestrials have pretty much taken
over Earth with the help of human collaborators.
You are the commander of a ragtag bunch of desperate, illprepared men and women who are nonetheless determined to
stick it to our new bosses. You dont have much in the way
of firepower just some rickety pistols, rifles and
grenades but you do have a cool airborne base, the
Avenger, that you can fly to hot spots all over the planet.
In each mission, you send four recruits to the surface to
battle the insect-like aliens, sabotage installations, gather
intelligence or rescue civilians. Each confrontation takes
place on a three-dimensional map viewed from above. Your
four soldiers move in turns, and can do two things each turn.
The first thing is usually moving closer to the enemy, and
the second is usually shooting at it. You can also spend one
of your action points healing a comrade, hacking a computer or hunkering down behind cover.
From the start, these missions are quite challenging,
even at the default difficulty setting. My best advice is to
save your game frequently, because you never know when
one of your hapless squaddies is about to get his head
lasered off. And in XCOM, death is permanent, with no
magical spells to reincarnate your lost partners.
The good news is that your soldiers get tougher and
smarter with each mission they survive. Meanwhile, the
scientists you rescue are eager to get their hands on whatever alien technology you can salvage, which they can then
use to create more powerful weapons and armor.
The overarching game where youre adding new facilities to the Avenger, leveling up your soldiers and deciding
which attacks will be most effective at stopping the alien
takeover is quite satisfying. You never have all the
resources you need to put out every fire, so you have to
make plenty of tough decisions. And I became quite attached
to some of my brave guerrillas so much so that it was
heartbreaking to lose one in a particularly desperate battle.
XCOM 2 looks lovely, but it is marred by technical hiccups, with the action slowing down or freezing all too frequently. And since it generates new missions on the fly, the
loading times can be excruciating.
Players who are used to the run-and-gun antics of firstperson shooters like Halo may find XCOM 2 too
demanding, but I found its strategic challenges far more satisfying. I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords. Three
stars out of four.

says he likes the idea of keeping as
much as possible about his show a
secret until it airs each week, a philosophy he took to the extreme last
spring when he traveled to Moscow to
interview Edward Snowden.
Oliver, who begins a new round of
his Last Week Tonight comedy show
on Feb. 14, did not tell his network
until he had returned that he had spoken to the fugitive, who leaked NSA
documents to journalists in 2013 and
faces prison time if he returns to the
United States.
He pleaded with HBO not to tell anyone that he had interviewed Snowden,
in part because it would spoil a segment where he makes viewers wonder
if Snowden would even show up. He
even asked the studio audience at the
episodes taping to keep quiet about it
online.
I really appreciated the fact that
HBO would let us do it that way,
Oliver said, because we thought it was
the best way to actually present it,
even though commercially it was the
worst way you could present it.
Oliver said HBO has kept its
promise not to interfere creatively
in the making of Last Week
Tonight.
Its like your parents saying, you can do whatever youd
like, but dont touch that cabinet, he said. I presumed that
HBO was lying the way other
networks often do, he said.

blade-wielding might against the fast-moving, brain-craving predators.

Its actually pretty enjoyable, if a little
manic.
But director Burr Steers attempts at melding these genres into one coherent film are
clumsy at best. The film adheres sincerely
to the beats of Austens story the balls,
the scheming, the misunderstandings
between Lizzie and Mr. Darcy (Sam Riley),
the iconic scenes while peppering most
with a zombie scare or two.
There is some wit in the simpler moments
a stoic shot of the Bennet sisters in the
living room cleaning guns in their day
dresses, for example, or the few famous ver-
bal showdowns that are choreographed as

all out fights. But thats the best that Steers
can do to integrate the two very disparate
tones sincerely.
Otherwise it feels as though were watching a number of movies patched together.
Matt Smith and Lena Headey, in particular,
seem to be acting in their own Terry Gilliam
film that was kept secret from the rest of the
cast.
James is the anchor of the film as she
should be but she is really the only one
with any verve or conviction at all. It
makes up for a lot of the film and the storys
deficiencies, but ultimately not enough to
save it. Rileys Darcy is a growling bore for
most of the film and the others barely register at all.
This story might have been better suited
to a television adaptation. The characters
would have been allowed to breathe for a
beat in that case. Here, the action and violence take up the space that would have generally been used for character development.
That this film is rated PG-13 is a questionable decision, too, with all the skull smashing, head-chopping and gut thrashing. With
its literary origins and promise of some
butt-kicking female protagonists, the story
seems perfect for a younger audience. But
Steers and company went dark and violent
still not enough for the horror crowds,
mind you. And, save for Elizabeth, the warrior ladies really only get that one scene
before letting the male soldiers take up the
zombie fight.
The choice of Steers as director is perhaps
the most peculiar of all. Directors can and
should reach outside of their comfort zone,
but to go from Igby Goes Down, 17
Again and Charlie St. Cloud to this
might have been a side step too far. The
Austen scenes are fine, but the action and
horror dont land. Steers reverts to jump

scares and the odd technique of blurring the
shot to show a characters panic when a
zombie attacks. Its likely meant to stress
out viewers, but its more annoying than
anything else. A simple cut would have sufficed.
The film is all over the board stylistically
and tonally, and the elements of both horror
and comedy fall flat. By the climax youre
almost forgotten what youre watching and
who youre supposed to care about.
For now, it seems only Edgar Wright has
really conquered the modern genre mashup.
But thats an unfair standard for any mortal,
or undead, to live up to.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, a
Screen Gems release, is rated PG-13 by the
Motion Picture Association of America for
zombie violence and action, and brief suggestive material. Running time: 108 minutes. Two stars out of four.

regulations for development of the
property, located less than a mile from
El Camino Real.
The variety of residential units,
health services and office space, as well
as proposed retail space and a child care
center are slated to be spread across
eight buildings.
Five proposed phases of construction
are expected to be broken out over the
coming 20 years, according to a city
report, beginning with the building of
office and research spaces which will
allow health care district officials to
move onto the site while construction is
underway.
Senior housing and additional amenities are expected to be built over the subsequent two phases, and a senior support
building should be the fourth while
another office building is projected to
be the final phase of construction.
Heath care officials opted to propose
phased development to ensure a smooth
rollout of services, according to the
report.
The district intends a more incremental approach to the development to
incorporate new programs, facilities
CRIME
weeks of December, Greg Rothaus, captain of the San Carlos Bureau of the San
Mateo County Sheriffs Office, told the
Daily Journal Friday.
We were clobbered in the second half
of December, Rothaus said.
The city has averaged 41 residential
burglaries a year over the past 10 years.
On Dec. 17, 2015, Rothaus reported
that the city had 43 residential burglaries so far during the year.
But an increase in the crime during the
Christmas holiday sent the numbers
past the citys former high of 56 residential burglaries in 2006, when the
city had its own police department.
Rothaus has requested an additional $100, 000 from the City Council
t o dep l o y s p eci al en fo rcemen t

STUDENT
Rickman, it was hard for me to separate
him from the character I knew him best
as, Snape. So when he died, it was
almost like losing one of the most
complex and interesting characters in
J.K. Rowlings books.
And with someone like Bowie, the
connection can be even stronger.
Bowie, as I learned, had toyed with the
23
and structures with minimal impacts to

the existing activities, said the report.
Fama has said she is unsure of when
construction will begin on the project,
as district officials have yet to select a
developer to build it.
During the upcoming meeting, commissioners will give feedback on the
project, identify potential issues which
should be addressed in the forthcoming
draft environmental impact report and
provide an opportunity for the public to
make comments on the project as well.
City councilmembers addressed the
project in September, but only briefly
analyzed the plans.
Roughly 650 parking spaces are
expected to be built into the project,
through a combination of street-level
lots adjacent to the residential buildings, as well as underground lots.
Community Development Director
Bill Meeker has said the primary concerns expressed by residents living near
the project are about traffic and parking.
The project is considerably larger
than much of the other buildings located
in the area, according to the city report,
other than the medical center.
Fama has said health care district officials have worked to blend the large
community into the surrounding neighborhood, so as to mitigate any potential
harm to the surrounding businesses or
homes near the proposed site.

District officials have engaged in a
thorough outreach process to the nearby
community, said Fama, and many residents living adjacent to it have
embraced the project.
Its been very well received, she
said. Weve been very pleased with the
level of support weve heard so far.
The layout of the campus is designed
to promote socialization between senior residents, as many of the paths and
walkways are heavily landscaped, with a
variety of areas throughout the property
to encourage activities in shared spaces.
The project is slated to be divided by
open space containing gardens, pedestrian walkways and a central plaza as
well.
Though a majority of the residential
spaces are designed to serve seniors,
Fama has said there could be units
reserved for others such as disabled
adults.
Fama said though the project is in its
early planning stages, district officials
are seeking input on the designs.
The details are still in evolution, but
we are committed to the engagement
process with the community, she said.
dential burglary.
Rothaus conducted a town hall meeting Jan. 6 after a series of residential
burglaries took place in the west end of
the city near Crestview Drive.
There were 18 residential burglaries in
the city in the month of December
alone, Rothaus said.
At the town hall, some residents were
scared and nervous and were looking for
some advice on how to keep their homes
safe, he said.
When Rothaus takes a look at final
year-end crime numbers there could be a
significant increase in crime, he said.
The problem is not limited to San
Carlos, however, and is a regional issue.
Residents in the Buri Buri neighborhood of South San Francisco have also
seen an uptick in residential burglaries
prompting police there to conduct community meetings and increase enforcement in the neighborhood.
The $100,000 expenditure, if the
council approves it, will go toward
deploying teams of uniformed and plain
clothes deputies into high-risk areas on

an overtime basis over the next year.
The approach will give Rothaus the
flexibility he needs to match workload
demand rather than appoint a permanent
sworn office for the effort.
At the same meeting Monday,
Rothaus is also requesting the council to
approve a $60,000 expenditure to
acquire up to three mobile and/or fixed
automated license plate readers.
The funds, however, come entirely
from grant money and wont come out of
the citys general fund.
The citys recent increase in residential burglaries highlights the potential
value in deploying more. The strategic
placement of these cameras can help
deter criminals from committing burglary and can aid in the apprehension of
those that do, Rothaus writes in a
report to council.
media about his sexuality, varying his

story from being gay, bisexual, to not
over the years. For many LGBT individuals, Bowie became an idol, someone who they could look up to, someone who told them that it was OK to be
different, that being LGBT didnt mean
you couldnt be successful. In a time
period when being LGBT was considered wrong, or at the very least, unusual, David Bowie was revolutionary, and
many people looked up to him as a
leader for LGBT rights.
lost a beloved mentor, leader, idol. And

I realized that I saw Alan Rickman in a
similar way.
Although both of their deaths were
extremely sad, Rickman and Bowie
have taught me a lot about why we
adore celebrities so much, and how
someone so far away from you can
change your life.
So when Bowie died, those people

MID-PENINSULA WATER DISTRICT

ORDINANCE NO. 115: WATER EFFICIENT LANDSCAPING ORDINANCE
After conducting a public hearing at its regularly scheduled meeting on Thursday, January 28,
2016, the Mid-Peninsula Water District (MPWD) Board of Directors unanimously adopted
Ordinance No. 115: Water Efficient Landscaping Ordinance, effective February 1, 2016.
Directors present and their roll call votes:
Matthew P. Zucca - YES
Dave Warden - YES
Betty L. Linvill - YES
Al Stuebing - YES
Louis Vella - YES
Governor Brown issued Executive Order B-29 on April 1, 2015, which directed State agencies to
implement immediate measures to save water, increase enforcement against water waste, and
streamline government response to ongoing drought conditions. Executive Order B-29 directed
the Department of Water Resources (DWR) to update the State Model Ordinance through expedited regulation to increase water efficiency standards for new and existing landscapes through
more efficient standards, greywater usage, onsite storm water capture, and limitations of the portions of landscape that can be covered in turf.
The California Water Commission approved the proposed revisions to the State Model Ordinance on July 15, 2015. Local agencies are required to adopt the revised State Model Ordinance or adopt a local or regional ordinance at least as effective in conserving water.
The MPWD developed this regional Water Efficient Landscaping Ordinance in conjunction with
the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency (BAWSCA) and other local agencies to
meet the requirements and guidelines of the Model Ordinance and to address the unique physical characteristics, including average landscaped areas, within the MPWDs jurisdiction.
The complete text of Ordinance 115, including all exhibits, is on the homepage at the MPWD
website: www.midpeninsulawater.org

Thousands more Syrians rush toward Turkey to flee fighting

By Karin Laub and Suzan Fraser
BEIRUT Thousands of Syrians rushed

toward the Turkish border Friday, fleeing a
fierce government offensive and intense
Russian airstrikes near Syrias largest city
of Aleppo.
Turkey, an ally of the Syrian opposition,
promised humanitarian help for the displaced civilians, including food and shelter,
but it did not say whether it would let them
cross into the country, already burdened
with hundreds of thousands of refugees.
The attacks and bombings by the
Russian planes and the Syrian regime have
left our brothers with nowhere else to go,
Turkish Prime Minister Ahmed Davutoglu
said in a televised speech.
The U.N. estimated that nearly 40,000
LEVEE
cates Foster Citys current levee system is
no longer adequate. An estimated 9,000
properties in Foster City could become subject to costly flood insurance should the
city fail to update its levees and earn FEMA
accreditation. Now, the city is considering a
hybrid levee design that can be adjusted to
meet future sea level rise. It involves
drilling sheet piles to create a retaining wall
along the current levee, then using fill to
reinstate the Bay Trail a significant project estimated to cost between $35 million
and $65 million.
The levee system is probably Foster
Citys most important asset, said the citys
consultant Chuck Anderson, president of
Schaaf & Wheeler, according to a video of
the meeting. It protects the city from
flooding, preserves property values, but its
also a great recreational amenity.
Any work along the environmentally sensitive Bay, particularly a construction project of this magnitude, has to go through a
litany of permitting and regulatory agencies. Per the California Environmental
Quality Act, the projects impacts must also
be thoroughly vetted, alternatives considered and mitigation measures proposed.
Planners met Thursday for a scoping session to solicit public feedback and confirm
what should be addressed in the environmental impact report.
Aesthetics, air quality, biological
resources, cultural resources, geology and
COAST
When a disaster strikes, it doesnt recognize city limit lines, Gottuso said.
When bad thing happens, were all in this
together and we are going to have to rely
on each other and help each other to get
through it with the most amount of cooperation possible; and that is fully recognized
by the people that live here on the coast.
And the relationship between the city and
the county, its a very unified position on
emergency preparedness and response.
The county and city agreed to jointly
fund Gottusos position this year as he
continues a variety of projects aimed at
increasing the coastsides ability to adequately respond to an emergency.
Gottuso, 61, has a long public service
career he started as a dispatcher in 1975.
He spent two years as a Pacifica police officer before joining the Hillsborough Police
Department where he retired as a senior
captain after 28 years of service in 2011.
During his tenure, he was a senior commander of one of the largest regional SWAT
teams in the state and, after retiring, taught
criminal justice at Skyline Community
College.
I wasnt ready to be a retired person yet,
and Ive always had a connection to the
coast, Gottuso said. When I heard of this
newly displaced people have massed in

recent days in several border areas of northern Syria, including about 20,000 near the
Bab al-Salam border crossing. Turkish
authorities increased security at the crossing and the pro-government A Haber news
channel said all police and military leaves
were canceled.
The international aid group Mercy Corps
said that among those fleeing toward Turkey
were residents of rebel-held areas of Aleppo
who feared they would soon be besieged by
government forces, while others were running from troops advancing in rural areas.
The Syrian government offensive began
earlier this week in rural areas north of
Aleppo, the provincial capital, and appears
aimed at eventually encircling the city.
Forces loyal to President Bashar Assad captured several towns and villages, driving a
wedge into rebel-held areas and cutting off a
supply road to Turkey.

Once Syrias thriving commercial center,
Aleppo has been divided since 2012
between government- and rebel-controlled
districts. A government siege of rebel
strongholds could isolate tens of thousands
of civilians and would deal a devastating
blow to the morale of groups fighting to
topple Assad for the last five years.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest
expressed concern that government forces
backed by Russia threatened Aleppo.
It does look like a terrible humanitarian
situation inside of Syria and it is poised to
get worse. And that is something that we
continue to be quite concerned about,
Earnest said.
There is no denying that the efforts of
the Russian military to buck up and
strengthen the Assad regimes grip on
power only gives the Assad regime less of
an incentive to come to the negotiating

table and act constructively in conversations there, he added.
U. S. Secretary of State John Kerry
accused Russia of using imprecise dumb
bombs that have killed large numbers of
civilians.
This has to stop. Nobody has any question about that, Kerry told reporters at the
State Department.
NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg said the
intense Russian airstrikes mainly targeting opposition groups in Syria are undermining the efforts to find a political solution to the conflict.
A U.N.-led attempt to launch indirect
talks between a government delegation and
opposition representatives in Geneva was
adjourned Wednesday amid acrimonious
bickering. U.N. envoy Staffan de Mistura
said the process will resume Feb. 25.
soils, greenhouse gas emissions, hazardous

materials, hydrology and water quality, land
use, noise, traffic and recreation will be
considered, according to a staff report.
Commissioner Noemi Avram noted while
planners frequently review EIRs for large
construction projects, the levee system and
the Bay Trail that it supports are unique.
I think that in this case, there is the
recreation and there is the noise and the
potential of land use and planning policies
and so forth that we dont see in a building
or a development project of multi housing
or something like that, Avram said. So it
looks to me quite comprehensive at this
point.
The commissioners remained focused on
the scope of the EIR and not a specific levee
design although potential alternatives
will be considered during the environmental
review process but several experts
attended the meeting with hopes of discussing sea level rise and tidal marsh
restoration.
Adjustable levee
Marc Holmes, a representative of the nonprofit The Bay Institute, advocated for consideration of a horizontal levee which
typically involves tidal marsh restoration
or creation of beaches used as a buffer
against rising waters.
Holmes discussed recent studies highlighting horizontal levees, or at minimum
tidal marsh restoration paired with traditional levees, being a more cost effective
alternative that also benefits the environment. The scientific community has begun
to recognize these alternatives as important
strategies to adapt to climate change while

supporting habitat, Holmes said.
There has been a lot of interest encouraged and raised in recent years about sea
level rise; its taken hold that this is a much
more real problem than people had previously realized, Holmes said.
Although Holmes presentation was cut
short when he was interrupted by the commission chair and vice chair who wanted to
stay focused on the scope of the EIR, other
meeting attendees also urged the city to
consider tidal marsh restoration as part of
the alternatives.
Funds for wetland restoration projects are
being sought through a first of its kind
nine-county parcel tax that will be up for a
vote on the June ballot courtesy of the San
Francisco Bay Restoration Authority. The
measure is touted as a means to support
marsh and wetland restoration projects vital
to communities adapting to future sea level
rise predictions. The $12 parcel tax is
expected to raise $500 million over 20
years.
Whether Foster City determines wetland
restoration is possible or appropriate in the
future, its currently striving to meet
FEMAs stringent deadlines by having the
project completed within two to three years.
Therefore relying on tax revenue that hasnt
even been approved and would take time to
accumulate seems unrealistic to meet the
citys immediate goal.
As Thursday marked one of the first times
the Planning Commission considered the
levee project the council initiated last July,
Anderson gave a comprehensive presentation that touched on sea level rise.
Ultimately, whether the levee should be

constructed with climate change in mind is a
policy decision for the council and community to determine later. But officials have
indicated theyre leaning toward a levee that
could be adjusted should the seas rise.
Anderson said current predictions estimate
the Bay is likely to rise about 11 inches by
2050 and most likely accelerate until it is 3
feet higher by the end of the century.
Foster Citys 8-mile levee ranges from 12
feet to 13 feet high. FEMAs highest requirement is for the northern portion of the levee
to be raised to about 16 feet, Anderson said.
If were going to spend money, make the
fix, we can do so and meet FEMA accreditation. But this project needs to stand the test
of time and meet sea level rise,
Anderson said.
The city is on a tight timeline to complete
the project and avoid property owners from
having to buy flood insurance, which in
neighboring San Mateo has been known to
run thousands of dollars per year.
Foster Citys interest in using this as an
opportunity to consider adapting to sea
level rise has earned support from county,
state and federal representatives who hope
this levee project could become a model for
others around the Bay. They gathered with
representatives from a swath of environmental permitting agencies last August.
Now, staff and consultants will complete a
draft EIR before its circulated to the public
for comment and considered by the commission as well as City Council.
job I just felt like it was something I could

do to continue serving the public and use
my emergency management experience for
something rewarding and positive.
As the first coastside district coordinator, Gottuso said he built the job and programs from the ground up. One of his most
important projects has been unifying
trained volunteers to create the Coastside
Emergency Corps. Its comprised of people
with experience in Community Emergency
Response Training, or CERT; using a ham
radio; large animal evacuations; Red Cross
or shelter operations; and advanced medical training such as doctors, nurses and
paramedics, Gottuso said.
Continuing to look for more participants, the CEC has 121 members whove
been fully vetted, fingerprinted, undergone
FBI background checks and issued special
photo IDs listing their skills. That way,
volunteers are easily identifiable and can
quickly gain access to assist at the scene of
an incident, Gottuso said.
While a majority live in Half Moon Bay,
there are numerous residences scattered
throughout unincorporated portions of the
county. Its vital to have a coordinated
plan for disasters such as extreme storms
or earthquakes, Gottuso said.
The coastside zone spans between south
of Devils Slide Tunnel to the Santa Cruz
County line and east to Skyline Boulevard,
Gottuso said.
Its about 300 square miles and lots of
small communities that are a long way
from each other. So one of my primary

assignments was to draw all these volunteer groups up and down the area into one
unified team, Gottuso said, noting this
large region is only connected to the
Bayside by three narrow and windy roads
Highway 1, State Route 92 and Highway
84. Because of our isolation from the
main population centers and main emergency response organization on the
Bayside, the people that live on the coast
are very sensitive to the fact that they may
be here on their own for a long time during
a major disaster.
San Mateo County Supervisor Don
Horsley said it is incumbent upon the
county and city to ensure residents are prepared as the coastside could experience
unique challenges during a disaster.
Its the only part of the county that has
the potential of having a tsunami and its
also clear that if you look at the
[Association of Bay Area Governments]
predictions for the Bay Area, in the event
of a major earthquake, its quite likely the
coastside would be cut off, Horsley said.
I think the coastside is well served by
having a coordinator out there bringing
people together, making sure people have
as much information as possible to be able
to sustain themselves in a major catastrophe.
Gottuso also helped create emergency
response plans for the coastside and Half
Moon Bay, organized CERT trainings,
hosted disaster drills and much more,
according to a city staff report.

Debbie Ruddock, vice mayor of Half
Moon Bay, said there are a lot of moving
parts to coordinating the various agencies
and emergency entities during a disaster.
Having Gottuso, who is promoting education and coordination, has been a great
service for the region at risk of being isolated during an extreme emergency,
Ruddock said.
Nick is a special individual. He has vast
experience dealing with security issues and
emergency services issues, Ruddock said.
And given the complexity of the bureaucracy, I think its a worthy expenditure.
Half Moon Bay Mayor Rick Kowalczyk
agreed, adding its helpful to have a liaison
for the city and county who focuses on
preparing residents.
The needs of the coastal community do
not obey the boundaries we have,
Kowalczyk said. Its part of the reason we
need to manage the coast as a single entity,
even though it is two separate legal entities.
Gottuso noted the county and city have
had a strong relationship since Half Moon
Bay began contracting with the Sheriffs
Office years ago. Now, hes pleased to continue forging strong, coordinated relationships amongst coastsiders.
If the roads are closed, were going to be
on our own, Gottuso said. They just
know they need to be prepared to take care
of themselves and their neighbors when a
disaster strikes.

Strong quake hits

Taiwan, killingfive
By Wally Santana
TAIPEI, Taiwan A powerful,

shallow earthquake struck southern Taiwan before dawn Saturday,
collapsing two high-rise residential towers and killing at least five
people and injuring hundreds.
More than 220 people were pulled
out from rubble, as rescuers raced
against time to find dozens of others unaccounted for.
Firefighters and soldiers in
worst-hit Tainan city scrambled
with ladders, cranes and other
equipment to the two towers that
folded like an accordion in a pile
of rubble and twisted metal and
extracted dazed survivors.
Local media said the building
complex included a care center for
newborns and mothers.
The emergency response center
told the Associated Press that five
people were killed, including a 10day-old infant and a 40-year-old
man. They were pulled out of a 17story Wei Guan residential building and later declared dead.
Local media said a woman was
killed in a water tower collapse in
another city district, and no information was immediately available
for the two other deaths. The
Health Ministry reported 318 people have been hospitalized.
One of the two towers was home

to 256 people living in 92 units,
according to the official Central
News Agency. A second 16-story
high-rise nearby also collapsed,
and more than 30 survivors have
been pulled out from there. It wasnt clear how many others were
still trapped.
The news website ET Today
reported that a mother and a daughter were among the survivors from
the Wei Guan building, and that
the girl drank her urine while waiting for rescue, which came sooner
than expected.
Dozens more people have been
rescued or safely evacuated from a
market and a seven-floor building
that was badly damaged, the news
agency reported. A bank building
also careened, but no injuries were
reported, it said.
Most people were caught asleep
when temblor struck about 4 a.m.
local time (2000 GMT Friday). It
was located some 22 miles (36
kilometers) southeast of Yujing,
and struck about 6 miles (10 kilometers) underground, according to
the U.S. Geological Survey.
As dawn broke, live Taiwanese
TV showed survivors being
brought gingerly from the highrise, including an elderly woman
in a neck brace and others wrapped
in blankets. The trappings of

daily life a partially crushed air
conditioner, pieces of a metal balcony, windows lay twisted in
rubble.
People with their arms around
firefighters were being helped
from the building, and cranes were
being used to search darkened
parts of the structure for survivors.
Newscasters said other areas of the
city were still being canvassed for
possible damage.
Men in camouflage, apparently
military personnel, marched into

one area of collapse carrying large
shovels.
The quake was felt as a lengthy,
rolling shake in the capital,
Taipei, on the other side of the
island. But Taipei was quiet, with
no sense of emergency or obvious
damage just before dawn.
Residents in mainland China
also reported that the tremor was
felt there.
Questions started to rise if the
construction crew had cut corners

when building the Wei Guan residential complex that was finished
in 1989. The Home Department
minister said an investigation
would examine if the developer
skirted requirements.
Earthquakes frequently rattle
Taiwan, but most are minor and
cause little or no damage.
However, a magnitude-7.6 earthquake in central Taiwan in 1999
killed more than 2,300 people.
