Measure V cost city nearly $500K


Report outlines how much San Carlos spent on failed bond
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The failed Measure V bond measure on the ballot in San Carlos in


November cost the city more than
$471,000, according to a report
released by the city managers
office.
The city spent at least $95,000
on community outreach on a number of proposed projects before
the City Council voted to put a
$45 million bond measure on the
ballot to purchase three Black
Mountain parcels to preserve as
open space.

The biggest chunk of city


money was spent on consulting
services to the tune of more than
$160,000, or 34 percent of the
total city cost.
With Measure Vs colossal failure, it earned only 39.5 percent of
the vote, some city officials and
residents questioned how consultant surveys could reveal that up to
70 percent of city voters would
support purchasing the Black
Mountain properties. It needed
66.7 percent of the vote to pass.
About $40,000 of the consultant fees went toward services provided by TBWB, which also made

San Bruno is known asThe City with a Heart.

ont expect Tony Bennett to sing I


Left My Heart In San Bruno, but
the Peninsula city isnt called The
City with a Heart for nothing. It has a big
heart, a residential neighborhood in the
shape of a heart thats known as Cupids
Row.
This Valentines Day, take your sweetheart
on a stroll through the unique heart-shaped
street layout east of El Camino Real thats
comprised of four hearts. On the map, the
area of about 500 people resembles two
smaller hearts, each inside much larger
hearts, with a short street called Cupids
Row the main heart valve, or, if you please,
the shaft of a Cupids arrow. The row name
became associated with the entire neighborhood thats bounded on the northwest by
Taylor and Florida avenues, the southeast by
Chapman and Georgia avenues, the southwest by Mastick Avenue and on the northeast by Huntington Avenue.
The City with a Heart slogan was adopted by the City Council a number of years
ago, in the late 1990s, said City Manager
Connie Jackson. The slogan recognizes
the unique feature of the overlapping heart
shaped street layout in our Cupid Row
neighborhood. More importantly, however,

it recognizes the special spirit and the identity of our community that we are very proud
of.
That spirit, she continued, is one of a
tight knit and family-oriented community
that values its friendly, small-town character.
According to the citys Historical
Resource Inventory, the homes were built
between 1909 and 1951 with architecture
ranging from wood shingled cottages to
contractor modern. Labeling the area
unique in California, the document says
the neighborhood represents in microcosm
the residential development of San Bruno
between 1903 and the early post-WWII era.
The original developer was the HensleyGreen Company of San Francisco. The firm
laid out the subdivision, installed the roads
and infrastructure and sold parcels individually. The numbers and variety of building
types suggest slow but steady growth, mostly occurring during the 1920s, the late
1930s and the early 1940s. There were a few
homes built after World War II. Construction
was done by contractors or owner-builders.
Why the heart? Most likely Hensley and

Project gains local student national recognition


By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

One of the nations most prestigious research centers acknowledged a local high schooler for his
ambitious efforts to discover alternative energy sources.
The Johns Hopkins Center for
Talented Youth granted $599 to San
Mateo High School freshman Ben
Cheng to pursue creation of an
enzyme which will reduce the cost
of biofuel production.
Cheng, 13, is one of the 10 individuals or teams of students from
254 qualied applicants across the
nation to win the prestigious award
designed to serve middle and high
school students interested in pursuing an education or career in science, engineering, mathematics or
technology elds.
With his recognition, Cheng, of
Foster City, will also be assigned a
mentor who will offer him professional guidance on the project.
Cheng said he is thrilled to experience the variety of unique chances
for success afforded through the
mentorship program, and the larger
project.
This is a really good experience
for me because it opens my horizons for a bigger opportunity, said

Father, son relationship builds foundation for success

Ben Cheng

Cheng.
But as Cheng
looks forward to
potentially a
bright future,
which he hopes
will ultimately
include a career
as a neuroscientist, he said he
has his past to

credit.
Ben Chengs father Guofeng
Cheng is a senior research scientist
at Gilead Sciences, a titan in the life
sciences industry, and the person
largely responsible for developing
the younger Chengs interest in
applying science to address global
matters.
Ben Cheng said he began working on science projects with his
father in fourth-grade as class
assignments, which have become
increasingly more difcult as the
pupil has proven greater capacity
for handling the progressively
complex challenges thrown his
way.
For his part, Guofeng Cheng said
he believes his son excels once he
is encouraged to push the boundaries of his abilities.

I feel grateful for Benjamin,


said Guofeng Cheng. He is a boy
who does better under pressure. He
usually thrives if he is surrounded
by more peers matching his level or
better than him.
Guofeng Cheng said the many
nights he spent around the dinner
table espousing the virtue of the
latest hepatitis medication he was
designing at work must have had an
impact unbeknownst to him at the
time, until his son began showing a
propensity for scientic endeavors.
It was not until as a middle
school student Ben Cheng took
the initiative to author a wellresearched class report on a little
known disease without any outside encouragement that his father
took note in his sons budding
abilities.
That was the rst moment I
realized hes growing up, and its
time to give him a little more
said Guofeng Cheng.
But as the fathers recognition
of his sons talents grows, so does
their relationship.
Ben Cheng said he and his father
spent many weekends together
working on science experiments,
and honing the design of the

award-winning project.
He said the hours spent in the
lab have taught each Cheng how
to efciently work alongside one
another.
This project has helped me
spend more time with him and
understand him better, said Ben
Cheng. And hes helped expand
my knowledge and do this project.
Ben Cheng noted the pressure
that he can feel while sharing a lab
with his accomplished father, but
said that drives him to try to succeed.
My dad, he always has pretty
high expectations for me. I want
to meet them. When I cant do it, it
gets frustrating. That has helped
me communicate with him. When
Im frustrated, I know how to tell
him what I need to learn and he
knows how to help me better,
said Ben Cheng.
He said it is rewarding to see the
hours of hard work pay dividends,
not only in the recognition hes
received for his work but in his relationship with his father.
It feels great, he said. When
we mutually communicate together,
it helps both of us. We are both

happier, we work better and we get


more done.
Ultimately, he said the skills he
has learned will help him not only
collaborate more efciently with
his father, but also classmates and
future colleagues.
Despite his academic successes,
as Ben Cheng is also an accomplished mathematics competitor,
he strives to pursue interests outside of the classroom.
He said he enjoy playing soccer,
going to the movies with his
friends and hanging out playing
video games.
The value of Ben Cheng establishing passions beyond scholastic endeavors is important to his
father as well, who said he is proud
of the variety of talents his son has
developed.
Ben is a well-rounded boy, said
Guofeng Cheng. Not only is he
strong in the class academically,
but he is also doing so many things
outside the classroom.
And as a world of opportunity
stands to open for Ben Cheng, his
father expressed excitement for his
sons future endeavors.
So far we feel like he has been
doing well, not just in one particular area, said Guofeng Cheng. We
are happy for him.

Big project zoning rules may change in Redwood City


DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

Depending on council action,


zoning rules in Redwood City may
change to require an extra level of
review
by
the
Planning
Commission for projects greater
than three stories or 35 feet in
height.
Currently, a zoning administrator can approve a wide range of
projects without needing the OK
of the Planning Commission or
City Council.
Typically, having a zoning
administrator approve the proj-

ects allows for a quicker review


process for homeowners, small
business owners and certain developments.
Assistant City Manager Aaron
Aknin has recommended that the
City Council make some minor
adjustments to the citys Zoning
Ordinance and Downtown Precise
Plan to ensure larger projects go
to the Planning Commission.
For certain types of development applications, the zoning
administrator process requires a
public meeting and public notice,
according to a report by Aknin to

Police reports

the council.
Other types of applications do
not require a noticed zoning
administrator hearing. In all
cases, a zoning administrator
decision can be appealed to the
Planning Commission. However,
zoning administrator meetings do
not garner the same degree of community attention and are essentially reviewed at a staff level,
rather than being heard by the
Planning Commission, according
to Aknins report.
The council requested in
December that staff produce a

report that outlines the level of


review required for certain developments.
Staff has also heard community
concerns regarding the level of
review required for larger developments, Aknin wrote in the report.
Currently, zoning administrator
can grant architectural permits,
use permits, variances and
approve small projects downtown
if it is proposed on a lot that is
30,000 square feet in size or less
and does not include a historic
resource.
The changes, if approved, would

require the Planning Commission


to approve projects such as the
six-story 90-unit housing project
proposed for the strip mall on
Veterans Boulevard that currently
houses the Old Port Lobster Shack
and Redwood Trading Post.
The overall building height of
the Sares Regis property is proposed to be approximately 65
feet.
That project now, however, only
needs a zoning administrator to
approve it without Planning
Commission review, according to
the citys zoning rules.

Plagued by delays, high-speed rail back in court


By Juliet Williams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO California
voters embraced the idea of building the nations first real highspeed rail system, which promised
to whisk travelers from San
Francisco to Los Angeles in under
three hours, a trip that can take six
hours or more by car. Eight years
after they approved funding for it,
construction is years behind schedule and legal, financial and logistical delays plague the $68 billion
project.
The bullet trains timeline, funding and speed estimates are back in
the spotlight for a longstanding
lawsuit filed by residents whose
property lies in its path.
In the second phase of a court
challenge filed in 2011, attorneys
for a group of Central Valley farmers will argue in Sacramento
County Superior Court on Thursday
that the state cant keep the promises it made to voters in 2008 about
the travel times and system cost.
Voters authorized selling $9.9 billion in bonds for a project that was
supposed to cost $40 billion.
In recent months, rail officials
have touted construction of a
viaduct in Madera County, the first

visible sign of construction.


Though officials have been working for years to acquire the thousands of parcels of land required for
the project, they currently
have just 63 percent of the
parcels needed for the first
29 miles in the Central
Valley.
And as planning continues, opposition has
mounted in Southern
California, where bullet train
officials are weighing four potential routes.
You cant build a 520-mile system like this and not have some
impacts somewhere, said Dan
Richard, chairman of the politically appointed board that oversees
the rail project. He said officials
have tried to work with community
leaders to solve problems when
they arise.

Biggest challenge money


Money remains the biggest challenge, but there are political hurdles, too.
As part of a deal with the
Legislature to secure funding from
Californias fee on polluters, Gov.
Jerry Browns administration
agreed to extend the rail system
south to Burbank before it heads

north. But at a recent legislative


hearing, rail officials indicated that
they may reverse course when the
rail authority releases its new business plan later in February.
On the money side,
California has the voterapproved bonds, $2.5
billion in federal stimulus funds that must be
spent by September 2017
and a quarter of fluctuating
revenues from the states capand-trade program, which could
eventually hit $500 million a year.
Each of those funding sources carries political and legal risks, the
states independent legislative analyst has noted.
What people are now talking
about is were going to end up with
a 130-mile mound of dirt. Theyre
going to run out of money sometime by 2017, said Stuart
Flashman, an attorney who represents the plaintiffs in the lawsuit
against the state. At that point
theyre not even going to be starting laying tracks. Theyre certainly
not going to be having anything
usable for trains.
The board chairman, Richard,
said this month that the upcoming
business plan could lower the projects overall cost, as the authority

has inked contracts at lower-thanexpected rates.


In responses solicited by the rail
project, private companies earlier
this year indicated strong interest
in construction, supplying infrastructure such as train cars and operating the line. But virtually none
said they were willing to take the
financial risk until passengers are
actually riding, which wont happen until at least 2022.
Also, an independent peer review
group that oversees California
high-speed rail added: It is not
uncommon for most new services
to face initial losses, which could
conflict with another mandate in
the bond financing that states the
rail service would not require an
operating subsidy.
Other terms of that initiative also
will be before Superior Court Judge
Michael Kenny this week. A group
of landowners in the Central Valley
filed suit over the project, arguing
that compromises made to cut the
price mean the train wont be able
to travel from San Francisco to Los
Angeles in two hours and 40 minutes as voters were told. Critics
argue trains cannot traverse the
steep Tehachapi Mountains in
Southern California at the necessary 220mph.

I have never had one of our engineers or anybody come to me and


say were not going to be able to
make the 2:40, Richard said. We
are committed to it, that is the law,
thats what were building.
Kenny previously ruled in favor
of the plaintiffs, agreeing the state
had failed to meet the mandates that
it identify funding for the first useable segment before starting construction and have all the needed
environmental clearances in hand.
But an appeals court reversed the
ruling, saying the lawsuit was premature.

Business plan
Political winds could be shifting,
too, depending on the details of the

3 killed after brief police chase in San Francisco streets


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Three people died in a fiery crash after a car


fleeing authorities crashed into a
taxi in San Francisco streets, officials said Sunday.
California Highway Patrol

said the brief chase Saturday night
began after an officer tried to pull

Chevrolet sedan seen rotating in

While not much can be seen from a train,
thats not the case with an airplane. The earliest known aerial photo of Cupids Row
was taken in 1921 and shows about 50
homes scattered throughout the neighborhood.
The land was originally famous for being
the site of the 14-Mile House, a good place
to stop for a breather on a trip from San
Francisco to San Jose. In 1875, the place
became Uncle Toms Cabin which served for
decades as a well-known restaurant until it
was demolished in 1949 to make way for

There are other history highlights in the

Candidates hit final stretch in New Hampshire


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HAMPTON, N.H. Its less


than two days until New
Hampshire voters go to the polls.
But Hillary Clinton is in
Michigan. And other candidates,
even Jeb Bush, say their campaigns will go on no matter how
they do on Tuesday. Donald Trump
says he doesnt need to win New
Hampshire but hed like to.
From their movements and
remarks on Sunday, youd think
New Hampshire is unimportant in
the race for president. In fact, its
the nations first primary and the
next in a series of clues into what
Americans want in their next president. But the field is still crowded, and the electorates that await
the candidates in South Carolina
and Nevada are markedly more
diverse. So there are more tests to
come for the candidates and the
parties.
Republican hopeful Marco

Rubio is downplaying
his
rough outing in
S a t ur da y
nights
GOP
debate, while
touting
his
overall
campaign momentum after his Donald Trump
third-place finish in the Iowa caucuses, hoping
to use that momentum to boost his
chances in Tuesdays contest.
Donald Trump, who finished
second in Iowa, is pleased with his
debate performance and place atop
New Hampshires GOP polls, and
hes doubling down Sunday on his
call for the U.S. to reinstitute
waterboarding and even harsher
treatment of foreign prisoners.
On the Democratic side, New
Hampshire
favorite
Bernie
Sanders and Hillary Clinton
who narrowly won Iowa are
avoiding
predictions
about

Tuesday
and
l o o k i n g
beyond
to
South Carolina
and Nevada, the
next two states
up in the nomination process.
But for other
Hillary Clinton candidates, like
R e p ub l i c a n
Govs. Chris Christie, John
Kasich and Jeb Bush, the task is to
make sure the closing argument
here isnt their last.
Christie, fresh from a vigorous
debate performance in which he
battered Florida Sen. Marco Rubio
as unprepared for the presidency,
told a town hall crowd Sunday in
Hampton, New Hampshire, that
his exchanges with Rubio showed
whos ready. I am. Hes not.
Then he shifted his focus to
Kasich and Bush, as the three governors battle for many of the same
voters in an effort to remain rele-

vant beyond New Hampshire.


As he did during Saturdays
debate, Christie credited Kasich
Sunday for his management of
Ohio, but then the New Jersey
Legislature turned the compliment
to faint praise. Its like Candy
Land, he argued at a campaign
stop in Hampton, because Kasich
gets to work with a GOP-run legislature. Democrats have run New
Jersey for the duration of
Christies tenure.
Christie told a voter that it
wouldnt necessarily be an enormous mistake to support Kasich.
There are some others Id say that
about, Christie said. But Im just
better, because Ive been tested.
Christie added a jab at Bush. Go
to Jeb today and ask him how the
joy is going, Christie said, a reference to Bushs promise last summer to be the joyful candidate
among Republicans.
Theres not a damn thing thats
joyful about this process,

Christie said. Youve got to be


tough.
Bush has called in a team of surrogates, from his mother, former
first lady Barbara Bush, to South
Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham,
for his final push.
He told Fox News Sunday that
hes already scheduled his first
even in South Carolina for
Wednesday morning, and were
scheduling the Nevada trip, too.
The three governors have
pitched their experience to GOP
voters for months, but have struggled to keep Rubio from establishing himself as the best alternative
to Trump and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz,
who won Iowa.
Rubio was clearly rattled by
Christies
debate onslaught
Saturday, repeating his standard
critique of President Barack
Obama several times and playing
into Christies argument that
Rubio is a scripted, inexperienced
politician.

States taking action to keep


guns out of abusers hands
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

IOWA CITY More than a dozen states


have strengthened laws over the past two
years to keep firearms out of the hands of
domestic abusers, a rare area of consensus in
the nations polarized debate over guns.
Lawmakers and governors of both parties
have supported bills stripping gun rights
from those who have been convicted of
domestic violence-related crimes or are subject to protective orders. The measures have

been backed by victims advocates, law


enforcement groups and gun control supporters who see easy access to firearms as a major
contributor to domestic violence killings.
Similar proposals are expected to be
debated in several states this year.
Domestic violence is definitely an area
where there is the most agreement between
the gun lobby and gun-violence prevention
advocates, said Allison Anderman, attorney with the Law Center to Prevent Gun
Violence in San Francisco.

UN condemns NKorea rocket launch


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEOUL, South Korea The


U.N. Security Council on Sunday
strongly
condemned
North
Koreas launch of a long-range
rocket
that
world leaders
denounced as a banned test of dangerous ballistic missile technology and another intolerable
provocation. The U.N.s most
powerful body pledged to quickly
adopt a new resolution with significant new sanctions.
North Koreas leader Kim Jong
Un went ahead with the launch just
two hours after an eight-day window opened early Sunday, and a
month after the countrys fourth
nuclear test. He ignored an appeal
from China, its neighbor and
important ally, not to proceed and

in another slap
to Beijing, he
chose the eve
of the Chinese
New Year, the
countrys most
important holiday.
Since its Jan.
Kim Jong Un 6 nuclear test,
which
the
North claimed was a powerful
hydrogen bomb but experts
believe was not, China and the
United States have been negotiating the text of a new Security
Council sanctions resolution.
The U.S., backed by its Western
allies, Japan and South Korea,
wants tough sanctions reflecting
Kims defiance of the Security
Council. But diplomats say

China, the Norths key protector


in the council, is reluctant to
impose economic measures that
could cause North Koreas economy to collapse.
The
15-member
Security
Council strongly condemned the
launch and pledged to expeditiously adopt a new resolution
with further significant measures U.N. code for sanctions.
The word robust referring to the
measures was in an initial draft,
but was dropped in the final statement.
U. S. Ambassador Samantha
Power told reporters that it cannot be business as usual after two
successive North Korean acts that
are hostile and illegal.

Deal reached on provisional Haiti govt


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti Top


Haitian leaders negotiated an
agreement to install a short-term
provisional government less than
24 hours before President Michel
Martelly was scheduled to step
down, an official with the
Organization of American States
and local authorities announced
Saturday.
In an exclusive interview with
the Associated Press, special
OAS mission leader Ronald
Sanders said the interim president will be elected by Parliament
for a term of up to 120 days. He
said Prime Minister Evans Paul
will remain in his position until

lawmakers are able to confirm a


prime minister by consensus in
upcoming days.
The caretaker government will
ensure a new Provisional
Electoral Council is in place to
conclude an election cycle that
began last year. The plan calls for
a presidential and legislative
runoff to be held on April 24,
with a newly elected president to
be installed on May 14 for a fiveyear term.
The country now has an opportunity for a fresh start, Sanders
said, adding that Parliament would
invite nominations for an interim
president soon.
The deal, if it holds, will prevent
an institutional vacuum when

Martelly leaves office on Sunday


and creates a roadmap for an elected leader to replace him in a few
months. But there was no break in
opposition protests in the crowded capital Saturday and recent violence suggests discord is likely to
continue.
We have to stay vigilant
because certain people disagree
with this accord, a somber-looking Martelly said in brief comments after an afternoon signing
ceremony with legislative leaders
at the National Palace. Just outside, a crowd of anti-government
protesters threw rocks at riot
police and chanted for the presidents immediate ouster as theyve
done repeatedly in recent days.

said. China is a critical player.


... We are hopeful that China,
like all council members, will
see the grave threat to regional
and international peace and security, see the importance of adopting tough, unprecedented measures, breaking new ground here,
exceeding the expectations of
Kim Jong Un.
However, Chinas U.N. ambassador, Liu Jieyi, made clear that
unprecedented sanctions arent
Beijings priority.
He said a new resolution should
do the work of reducing tension,
of working toward denuclearization (of the Korean peninsula), of
maintaining peace and stability,
and of encouraging a negotiated
solution.
I believe the council needs to

work together for a new resolution, Liu added, indicating that


China may want negotiations
with the United States to be
widened.
Russias U. N. ambassador,
Vitaly Churkin, whose country is
also a North Korean ally, said: It
has to be a weighty resolution, but
it also has to be a reasonable resolution that doesnt lead to North
Koreas economic or humanitarian
collapse, or further heighten tensions.
Russias goal is to see six-party
talks aimed at denuclearization
resume, he said, but in the current
atmosphere
thats
unlikely
because the North Koreans have
been very unreasonable and are
challenging the entire international community.

Rescuers in Taiwan pull out


survivors from quake rubble
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TAINAN, Taiwan As anxious


families waited nearby, rescuers on
Sunday painstakingly pulled more
survivors from the remains of a
high-rise apartment building that
collapsed a day earlier in a powerful earthquake that shook southern
Taiwan and killed at least 32 people. More than 100 remained
buried in the buildings rubble.
The government in Tainan, the
worst-hit city, said that more than
170 people had been rescued alive
from the 17-story building, which
folded like an accordion after the
quake struck.
Mao Yi-chen, 20, was rescued

soon after the magnitude-6. 4


quake hit before dawn Saturday,
and her older sister Mao Yi-hsuan
was pulled out Sunday in serious
condition. A rescue worker had
handed over a photo album and
homemade cards found next to her
for her family to collect, said local
official Wang Ding-yu.
He said that maybe your home
is damaged, but memories of the
family can last, Wang said.
With the extended Lunar New
Year holiday the most important family holiday in the
Chinese calendar officially
beginning on Monday, celebrations were certain to be subdued
in Taiwan.

The serious threat of the Zika virus


Other voices

The New York Times

he World Health Organization


and its director general, Dr.
Margaret Chan, were right to
declare the Zika virus an international
public health emergency, even if its
suspected link to severe birth defects
has not been proved. The mosquitoborne disease is a serious threat: It is
usually so mild as to be undetectable
in adults, yet as it has exploded across
South and Central America it has been
followed by a surge in babies born
with underdeveloped heads, a condition called microcephaly.
The emergency designation will
galvanize coordinated international
monitoring and action of the sort that
was tragically missing in the rst
months of the Ebola pandemic. The
W.H.O.s decision, however, could
reduce travel to affected countries,
which would be an economic burden.
Brazil, where Zika made its rst major
appearance in the Western
Hemisphere last May, is especially
fearful that visitors will stay away
from the Olympic Games in August. It

cannot let that prevent it from being


completely transparent about this
serious threat and the steps it is taking to protect people.
In Latin America, where many
nations outlaw abortion, some governments have advised that pregnancies be delayed, which can create only
greater anxiety for women who have
sadly limited control over such decisions.
All of this adds urgency to the work
of medical researchers investigating
any possible link between microcephaly and Zika infection, for which
there is no cure. And it puts a heavy
responsibility on the W.H.O. and
institutions like the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention and
the Pan American Health Organization
to give clear and realistic guidance on
how to avoid infection. The C.D.C.
has issued a list of countries pregnant
women should try to avoid visiting
and has advised travelers on how to
protect against mosquito bites.

Fighting Zika will not be easy. Like


Ebola, it is nurtured by heat, humidity
and poverty, conditions that can be
intensied by globalization and global warming. Unlike Ebola, Zika is primarily spread by a mosquito, the
Aedes aegypti, which is rampant in
hot climates. The risk of a major outbreak in the United States is low
because of effective mosquito-control
programs and air-conditioning.
A vaccine or an effective treatment
is still a long way off. Immediate
responses, like increasing access to
birth control and abortion, face stiff
legal and cultural resistance in the
affected region. That leaves mosquito
control as the most effective weapon
available now. One method being
tried in Brazil is to release Aedes mosquitoes that are genetically modied
to produce self-destroying offspring.
These and other measures should
gain momentum now that Zika has
been declared an emergency. That is
essential not only to protect women
and their babies, but also for improving the global response to other
obscure germs waiting their turn in
some hot, humid place.

Editor,
The article City response tepid to

of the Daily Journal fortunately raises
the concerns of many in regards to
several issues in the proposed project. It frightens me when I read any

this statement comes from the person
representing the owners. He then
goes on to threaten the viability of
the project unless city ofcials sold
the parking lot to the developer. But
it gets better when your article states
he felt the project included an adequate amount of parking, as he said he

Too selective service


Editor,
In 1980, registration for the draft
was reactivated. Men must register
with the Selective Service System
within 30 days of their 18th birthday.
Women are exempt. For women to be
required to register with Selective
Service, Congress would have to
amend the law. In 1979, the Senate
Armed Services Committee declared:
Women now volunteer for military
service and are assigned to most military specialties. These volunteers
now make an important contribution
to our Armed Forces. Ninety-nine
percent of the jobs in the military
could be lled by women. As it is
presently administered, the law it is
unfair to men and condescending to
women. It is far past the time for
Congress to reconsider this law and
require women to register. Frankly, I
am surprised that womens groups
have not pushed for this already.

Skating back toward


what matters most
Editor,
While I have participated in many
sports in my lifetime, I have never
been much of an ice skater. But I have
always enjoyed watched the sport during the Olympics, going back to the
days of Peggy Fleming.
Recently there has been much in
the media about losing local ice
rinks. It is evident that many people
feel strongly about hanging on to
this wonderful form of recreation.
With all the wealth and venture capital money in the Bay Area, it would
seem to me that someone could nd a
way to preserve a local ice rink or
two, if not build a new one. I can
think of no better investment than in
an activity that redeems the strong
value of exercise. As the Bay Area
grows more crowded and expensive,
the general public needs an economical place like an ice rink to go, just to
have fun.

Whats all the fuss


about the Coastal
Commission?

nvironmentalists are up in arms against a plan by


some members of the California Coastal
Commission, many appointees of Gov. Jerry Brown,
to oust the sitting director. Dr. Charles Lester is not going
quietly and has asked for a public hearing. It will be held this
Wednesday, Feb. 10, in Morro Bay. In case you might want to
add your voice, heres an email:
StatusOfExecutiveDirector@coastal.ca.gov.
According to Lennie
Roberts, legislative advocate
for the Committee for Green
Foothills, the Coastal
Commission has received
more than 14,000 letters and
emails supporting Charles
Lester and condemning the
attempted coup. Also, 35 former coastal commissioners
sent a letter to Chairman
Steve Kinsey stating that,
Lesters termination would
signicantly undermine both
the agencys work and the
governors legacy to protect
Californias vast coastal
resources.
This isnt the rst time a
group of commissioners has tried to get rid of their executive
director. In 1996, an attempt to re environmental legend
Peter Douglas failed after a public outcry that developers were
trying to take control of the California coast.
Whats at stake? Californias spectacular coastline at 3,427
miles long is one of the worlds most impressive natural
landscapes. We have an exceptional history of protecting our
coastline for wildlife and people. Just drive along Highway 1
from Half Moon Bay to Santa Cruz or from Carmel to Big Sur
and you realize how fortunate you are to live in California.
Protection of the coast is so important that the Legislature
passed the California Coastal Act of 1976 to permanently
protect our distinct and valuable natural resource of vital and
enduring interest to all people. The Coastal Commission
and staff were given the task of upholding this mission.
***
Individual commissioners have been reluctant to give
specics because it is a personnel issue. Those wishing to
oust Lester claim lack of transparency, failure to adequately
communicate with the commissioners, etc. But environmental groups do not buy that. They feel the commission as a
whole is becoming more conservative and the mandate of the
Coastal Act may be in danger.
***
Longtime San Mateo resident Betty Curtis has resigned
from her position as administrator and mainstay of the
Atkinson Foundation and will be moving to Southern
California to live with daughter Linda. Curtis served on the
San Mateo Union High School District Board of Trustees
from 1976-1992. She was also a Family Service board member and active in the PTAs of her two daughters at Sunnybrae,
Borel and Aragon. Curtis is admired by colleagues and friends
as a smart, detailed-oriented professional who has given so
much to her community. She worked way past the usual retirement age and her grant-giving expertise was hard to match.
When Curtis left the high school board, I was elected to her
seat and, as the saying goes, her shoes were hard to ll. Even
though she had philosophical differences with some of the
more conservative board members, she was well liked by all.
***
Before she was elected to the high school board and I to the
elementary board, we both served on the elementary school
districts special committee to draft a Philosophy of
Education. That was education speak for a raging culture war
in the district and in the nation. The district and board hoped
a philosophy of education agreed to by a representative community group would be a game-changer.
Times were changing, school populations were changing
too, and San Mateo was growing beyond its bedroom community small-town roots. There were between 20-25 of us on the
committee and we were supposed to represent different school
communities and factions. I was the League of Women Voters
nominee. While I had two children enrolled in district
schools, my knowledge of education was limited to being a
parent and an involved citizen, but certainly no expert. When
committee members started talking about the whole child I
wasnt quite sure what they meant. I do remember that we all
readily agreed without any dissent that Each child should
reach his or her full potential.
Betty Curtis was the sensible, non-confrontational person
on the committee, one that is needed on any committee which
hopes to reach a consensus. She had nominated me to chair
this group. My goal was to have just one recommendation
and not a majority and minority report. It wasnt easy, but we
did it. It would not have happened without Betty Curtis. As
close friend Trish Ronald explained, She was exceptional for
listening to what was being said and being able to bring it all
together to its essential elements.

Driven by outages, towns look to microgrid


By George M. Walsh
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALBANY, N.Y. An upstate


New York town that repeatedly
found itself without power for days
during a string of storms is planning a dramatic step by pulling its
municipal buildings entirely off
the electric grid.
The decision by Nassau to rely
on solar, wind, landfill gas and
battery storage by 2020 puts the
town of 5,000 near Albany on the
leading edge of a national campaign to develop microgrids
designed to make communities
more energy independent and the
grid more resilient.
While only a few communities
have become early adopters and
natural disasters have been a driving force, proponents say there is
also growing interest nationwide
from places looking to save
money by selling excess power to
utilities and to help the environment.

Tipping points for Nassau came


during ice storms that knocked out
power in 2008 and 2009, when
front-end loaders had to be used to
open the heavy highway department doors so sand trucks could
get on the road because a small
generator couldnt handle the lift,
town Supervisor David Fleming
said.
The town found itself in a vulnerable position when the aging
infrastructure would fail, Fleming
said, adding that the planned
renewable energy switch would
cover the town hall, the highway
garage, and police and fire departments.
A committee has been formed to
refine the plan and figure out its
costs.
Campus microgrids are familiar at places like hospitals and
industrial plants, but development
of the more sprawling community microgrids has been slowed by
technical and regulatory hurdles.
Theres also been a mixed

response from utility companies,


ranging from resistance to a threat
to their franchise to embracing
microgrids as a business opportunity.
That
puts
Fairfield,
Connecticut, ahead of the curve. A
year ago, it hooked up an off-thegrid system that automatically
takes over if the utility grid fails.
Inspired by Superstorm Sandy,
which left much of the town of
59,000 without power for as long
as nine days, the new system has
yet to be tested in a storm.
Built with the help of a $1.1
million state program, Fairfields
system combines a natural gaspowered generator and solar panels at the emergency shelter and
fire station, which are connected
to each other, the police station
and cellphone towers. A similar
system is in the works at
Fairfields waste water treatment
plant.
Unlike Nassaus plan, Fairfield
remains connected to the grid and

sells excess power back to its utility company.


Its a good deal for us, said Ed
Boman, the assistant public
works director. He said there are
also savings from heating and
cooling the police station with
waste heat from a natural gas generator.
Michael Burr, founder and director of the Minnesota-based consultancy Microgrid Institute, is
involved in projects in New York
and Maryland,
where
the
Montgomery County town of
Olney is participating in a $1.2
million federal Department of
Energy project to design and test
microgrid control systems.
Burr said there is strong interest
in increasing reliance on renewable energy and reducing reliance
on fossil fuels. And some communities see value in using locallygenerated power to bolster their
economies.
In New York, the state is reviewing 83 proposals in the first round

of a $40 million program to jumpstart microgrids, with a group of


finalists for further review expected to be announced this summer.
And a key part of the states larger
renewable energy effort involves
regulated utilities.
New York is very focused on
getting the utilities on board,
said John Rhodes, president and
CEO of the New York Energy
Research
and
Development
Authority. Part of that involves

Costs of closing, cleaning toxic coal ash pits grows clearer


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

EDEN, N.C. Giant earthmoving machines beep and grind as


they drop 17-ton scoops of coal
ash and dirt into dozens of railroad
cars lined up for two-thirds of a
mile at a site along the VirginiaNorth Carolina border, where the
countrys largest electricity company was responsible for one of
the worst spills of the toxic, liquefied waste in U.S. history.
Duke Energy Corp. will ship 1.5
million tons of residue from
decades of burning coal for electricity to a contracted landfill
about 130 miles away in central
Virginia. The utility built 2 miles
of railroad track just to connect
existing rail lines with the excavation site.
Once the contents of the pit
roughly a quarter mile from the
Dan River are emptied, itll be
lined with waterproof material so
heavy metals wont filter into
water underground or the river.
Then it will be refilled with much
of the 1.5 million tons of liquefied
coal ash taken from two other pits
closer to the rivers edge. A burst
pipe at one of them triggered the
disaster two years ago this week
and led officials to re-examine
how they plan to cope with similar dangers at basins around the
country.
The nations cleanup price tag,

which utility customers may be


asked to pay, already is pushing
into the billions.
Many who live near coal ash
pits fear the waste allows heavy
metals to filter into their groundwater, and they say its past time
to move the stuff. For the past 10
months, Duke Energy has been
providing Deborah Grahams family with bottled water after the
state health department warned
that her well water near another
Duke site was contaminated with
toxic heavy metals.
We want it fixed, said Graham,
who wants the pits dug out and the
waste moved from Buck power
plant, her neighbor, 40 miles
northeast of Charlotte. No one
should have to look at their faucet
with fear.
Coal ash byproducts include
arsenic, chromium, lead, and
boron. Duke Energys lawyers
admit that over the past 90 years,
coal ash has tainted groundwater
below the unlined basins at its
Buck plant, but they deny that it
has polluted neighboring water
wells like Grahams.
The company last year agreed to
pay $7 million to settle allegations of groundwater pollution at
its coal ash pits. Duke Energy also
pleaded guilty to criminal violations of federal water pollution
laws and agreed to pay $102 million in fines and remediation.

More than 230 power plants in


33 of the countrys 48 continental
states have coal-ash impoundments, according to the U. S.
Environmental
Protection
Agency. Utilities in Georgia and
Virginia say EPA rules that took
effect last year are the reason
theyre closing all their coal-ash
basins.
The tighter standards took years
to develop after the countrys
largest spill, the 2008 dam collapse at a Tennessee Valley
Authority site in Kingston,
Tennessee. It destroyed 40 homes
and cost more than $1.1 billion
over six years to clean up. The
rules came out after the Dan River
spill pushed North Carolina legislators to force cleanup ahead of the
EPA rules.
Now that enforcement is coming, utilities can be expected to
follow a common industrial practice overstating cleanup costs
to pressure lawmakers and rulemakers to tread lightly, said Lisa
Evans, an attorney for the environmental group Earthjustice.
Industry will complain that its
going to cost millions and millions more dollars to comply with
a particular regulation than you
actually see once the regulation is
in place and the wheels start turning and theres competition and
innovation, Evans said. Theres
lots of companies competing for

the cleanup jobs and the construction of landfills.


Meanwhile, South Carolinas
three utilities also are moving
coal ash from riverside power
plants after lawsuits and other
pressure by environmentalists.
Santee Cooper and SCE&G have
said they dont expect to pass on
costs to ratepayers, but that could
change.
Duke Energy, however, said it
will seek permission to raise
power bills in both Carolinas to
pay for the cleanup.
The utility set aside about $3.5
billion for expected cleanup costs
in the two states, but the EPA rules
added $448 million in new liabilities through September, the company said in its most recent earnings report.
If that $4 billion were passed on
to ratepayers, the average North
Carolina household could see electricity prices rise by an average of
about $18 a year over 25 years,
according to a calculation by
accountants for an independent
state agency that represents consumers in rate proceedings.
North Carolina environmental
regulators havent yet decided
which sites will be excavated and
carted to new, lined burying
grounds. Elsewhere, wastewater
will be pumped off the pits into
nearby rivers before the basins are
covered with waterproof liners,

soil and grass.


But we will do everything we
can to keep cost impacts as manageable as possible in any potential cost recovery filing that we
might make in the future, Duke
Energy spokesman Jeff Brooks
said in an email.
The company said excavating
and reburying the coal ash in lined
landfills could cost as much as $10
billion. Thats more than Duke
Energy spent to scrap a quarter of
its coal-burning power capacity
and open 10 new natural gas and
coal plants in North Carolina,
Florida and Indiana since 2009,
the company said.
It might not cost that much, but
its a starting point for understanding the ripple effects of the
North Carolina experience with
coal ash, which I would argue are
indicative of what rest of the country is going to see, said John
Daniels, an authority on handling
coal ash and chairman of the civil
and environmental engineering
department at The University of
North Carolina at Charlotte.
Graham said she bitterly opposes Duke Energy raising rates to
pay for removing what she
believes is a threat to her home
and family.
The customer has already paid
for that electricity when they pay
the power bill. This is their trash
left over, Graham said.

Doctors: Meningitis threat not


high for use of newer vaccine
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA Officials say the public


health threat of meningitis isnt high
enough to justify the widespread use of a
vaccine approved for use in the United
States in 2014.
But that has done little to appease thousands of parents and students at Santa Clara
University, where three students have been
infected with the potentially deadly disease
and hundreds more have waited hours for
emergency vaccines.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, which issues annual guidance
on vaccines, has only recommended doctors
talk about the vaccine with patients and
their parents. But the so-called MenB vaccine named for the B group strain of the
infection isnt routinely administered

along with the standard meningitis shot,


which covers four other strains of the disease, the San Jose Mercury News reported.
Doctors say thats because its a relatively new vaccine, its expensive and it doesnt last forever. The scare at Santa Clara
University this week is only the latest
example of the potentially deadly infection
known to surface on college campuses and
military bases or anywhere people live
and socialize in close quarters.
Dr. Dean Blumberg, chief of pediatric
infectious disease at UC Davis School of
Medicine, said the question over whether to
standardize the MenB vaccine led to heated
discussions within the CDCs Advisory
Committee on Immunization Practices.
Those against widespread use cite a low
number of meningococcal infections in the
U.S., he said.

Broncos crowned
Denver defense revels in historic performance
By Barry Wilner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA Peyton Manning gave


himself a chance to have a Super ending to his
career. Von Miller and the Denver defense
made the plays to secure the title for the
Broncos.
Manning and Panthers quarterback Cam
Newton were harassed all game Sunday, and
the Broncos made enough big plays for the
24-10 victory, Mannings 200th and perhaps
his last before retirement.
He wasnt the star game MVP Miller
seemingly was everywhere on every Carolina
play but Manning really hasnt been the
headliner in this injury-shortened season
This game was much like this season has
been, testing our toughness, our resiliency,
our unselfishness, he said. Its only fitting
that it turned out that way.
Emulating his Broncos boss, John Elway,

the 39-year-old Manning can ride off with the


Lombardi Trophy after leading Denver to its
third NFL title, first since 1999 when
Elway was the quarterback.
Ill take some time to reflect, Manning
said when asked if Super Bowl 50 is the end. I
got a couple priorities first. Im going to go
kiss my wife and my kids. ... Im going to
drink a lot of Budweiser tonight. Take care of
those things first.
Denvers suffocating defense kept Newton
jittery all day. Despite wearing gold shoes
before the golden Super Bowl, Newton couldnt finish off a dynamic season in which he
was the leagues MVP. Miller twice stripped
him, once for a touchdown, the second time
setting up a clinching TD. Denvers topranked defense, the one that ran roughshod

College of San Mateo is scoring runs at

every run proved key in holding off a late

After entering into the final two innings
with an eight-run lead, CSM (3-0 overall)
held on to win it 9-8 to
keep its undefeated record
in tact. Solano (0-3) had
the tying run at third base
with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, but
Bulldogs closer Mark
Quinby induced a gameending groundout, earning the first save of his
Mark Quinby collegiate career.
Bulldogs starting pitcher Cameron
Greenough allowed one run on three hits
through five innings of work to improve his
record to 2-0. And while the CSM offense
totaled seven hits, the heart of the order
proved productive, capping a four-run rally
in the second inning. The Bulldogs later
added insurance runs with two apiece in the

Eddie D. to Hall with Favre, Stabler


By Howard Fendrich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO The first NFL game Brett Favre ever


attended, as a teenager growing up in Mississippi, was the final
home game of Ken The Snake Stablers career.
Favre, a New Orleans Saints fan, traveled the hour-or-so drive
from home to the Superdome on that Sunday in 1984 with his
father, older brother and uncle and it was a thrill to watch a guy
who electrified a stadium the way Favre himself would one day.
All of a sudden, the crowd goes crazy, and its because Ken
Stabler poked his head out of the locker room. He had hair like
mine. His was just a lot longer, kind of aged and gray, recounted
Favre, wearing an all-black outfit and sporting a full white beard.
And I thought: Man, thats cool. ... Its got to be cool to be The
Snake. And then they lost. My dad was throwing popcorn and
beer. ... I thought: Maybe its not so good to be The Snake.
Favre and the late Stabler, a pair of kindred-spirit QBs who each

won a Super Bowl, entered the Pro Football


Hall of Fame together on Saturday.
Also voted in for the class of 2016 a day
before the Super Bowl were modern-day players Kevin Greene, Marvin Harrison and
Orlando Pace, coach Tony Dungy, contributor
Ed DeBartolo Jr., and senior selection Dick
Stanfel.
The freewheeling Favre, as expected, was a
first-ballot entry, a reward for a long and disKen Stabler
tinguished career, mostly with the Green Bay
Packers, that included three consecutive NFL MVP awards from
1995-97 and a championship in the 1997 Super Bowl.
As a kid, all I ever dreamed of was to play pro football, to be
Roger Staubach or to be Archie Manning. Thats what I dreamed of.
I hated Terry Bradshaw, which I told him, Favre said with a smile.

Panthers come up big in


end-of-year NFL Honors
Boldin becomes first 49ers player ever to
win Walter Payton Man of the Year award
By Barry Wilner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Cam Newton is now a Super Bowl


quarterback with an MVP award. Offensive Player of the
Year, too. And his coach, Ron Rivera, owns a second NFL
honor as well.
San Francisco receiver Anquan Boldin received the Walter
Payton NFL Man of the Year award for his
off-field work.
Newton, the Carolina Panthers star,
won The Associated Press NFL Most
Valuable Player and Offensive Player of
the Year awards Saturday night.
Newton was not on hand at NFL Honors
because he is kind of busy preparing for a
little game on Sunday against Denver.
But just as he has for much of the week
Anquan Boldin for most of the season, really Newton
still was a dominant figure.
His father, mother and two brothers accepted the
Offensive Player award.
Newton was a landslide choice for MVP with 48 votes
from a nationwide panel of 50 sports writers and broadcasters who regularly cover the NFL. Fellow QBs Tom Brady and
Carson Palmer each received one vote.
Newton earned 18 votes for top offensive player. Steelers
receiver Antonio Brown was next with 10.
Rivera led the Panthers to an unprecedented third straight
NFC South title and two playoff victories. In a season featuring several outstanding coaching jobs, Rivera easily
outdistanced the field. He received 36 1/2 votes, far in front
of Kansas Citys Andy Reid with six votes.
Another outstanding player, Houston end J.J. Watt won
his third Defensive Player of the Award in five pro seasons.
He also won it in 2012 and last year, when he was a unanimous choice.
Kansas City safety Eric Berry gave an emotionally
charged speech while accepting Comeback Player of the
Year. At one point, his eyes welled with tears and he paused
before accepting the award.
His teammate, cornerback Marcus Peters, took Defensive
Rookie of the Year. Peters tied for the league lead with eight
interceptions in helping the Chiefs make the playoffs. He
received 45 votes.
Rams running back Todd Gurley took Offensive Rookie
with 27 votes, well ahead of the 17 for Buccaneers QB
Jameis Winston, the first overall pick in last years draft.
Wade Phillips work in turning the Denver defense into
the stingiest in the NFL got him the Assistant Coach of the
Year award.

Newton was sacked six times receiver Ted Ginn Jr., went
down once on an aborted trick play and if Miller wasnt torturing him, DeMarcus Ware was. Ware had two of the seven
sacks, the most ever by one team in the Super Bowl.
Carolinas potent offense that led the league with 500 points
was held to its fewest points of the year, and Denver set an
ignominious mark with 194 yards gained, the fewest for a
Super Bowl winner.
So what: The Broncos (15-4) are champions and Manning is
the first quarterback to win Super Bowls with two franchises,
Indianapolis in 2007 was the other. Gary Kubiak is the first to
win a Super Bowl as player and coach for the same team.
Manning finished 13 for 23 for 141 yards against a strong

I feel very, very grateful, Manning said. ... Obviously,
its very special to cap it off with a Super Bowl championship.
Denvers defense stole Carolinas act. The Panthers led the
league with 39 takeaways and were a plus-20 in turnovers. On
the Super Bowl stage, though, Assistant Coach of the Year Wade
Phillips got his first ring because his unit was impenetrable.
It was a far cry from two years ago, when the Broncos were
routed by Seattle 43-8.
Carolina has made a habit of sprinting out of the gate in the
playoffs. This time, it was Denver that got the quick start.
Manning opened the game with an 18-yard completion to
Owen Daniels, later hit Andre Caldwell for 22, and C.J.
Anderson had a 13-yard run. When the Panthers held, Brandon
McManus kicked a 34-yard field goal.
The Panthers went nowhere on their first series, then their
defense forced a three-and-out. It was the first of seven such
aborted drives for both sides in the first half.
Carolinas Ron Rivera, the Coach of the Year, lost a challenge on a pass to Jerricho Cotchery , and it was a key decision
because two plays later, Miller burst through and didnt even
go for the sack. He reached directly for the ball, stripping it
from Newton. It rolled to the goal line, where Malik Jackson
pounced on it for a 10-0 lead.
Miller dabbed in the end zone in front of legions of orangeclad Broncos fans after Denvers first defensive touchdown in
a Super Bowl.
Miller spied on Newton at times, and Newton noticed. But
Newton escaped him for runs of 11 and 12 yards Millers
hard tackle out of bounds bothered several Panthers and a
19-yard pass to Greg Olsen on a misdirection play kept alive
Carolinas first scoring drive.
Jonathan Stewart, back from hurting his right foot earlier,
dived in from the 1 to make it 10-7.
But sloppiness and strong defense marked the rest of
the game.

CTE is a disease linked to repeated brain trauma and associated with symptoms such as memory loss, depression and progressive dementia. It has been found in the brains of dozens of
former football players, including one of last years Hall
inductees, Junior Seau, who committed suicide in 2012 at 43.
Favre played for 20 seasons, eventually retiring after
famously vacillating about whether to walk away from the
game as the NFLs career leader with 6,300 completions,
10,169 attempts, 71,838 yards and 508 TDs. He never met a
pass he was afraid to throw, no matter how ill-advised it might
have seemed, and wound up with a record 336 interceptions,
the trade-off for his high-risk, high-reward, entertaining style.
Before Green Bay, he briefly was a member of the Atlanta
Falcons. Afterward, he had short stints with the New York Jets
and the Packers chief rivals, the Minnesota Vikings.
It was awkward, Favre said of going from the Packers to
the Vikings. I had people tell me all the time, You really
divided my house. And I take pride in that, sort of.
In discussing Stabler, Favre called him crafty, choosing a
word plenty might use for No. 4 himself. Favre brought up the
Holy Roller play from 1978, when Stabler fumbled the ball in
the closing seconds, and it rolled forward into the end zone,
where one of his Raiders teammates recovered it for the winning touchdown against the San Diego Chargers. Its one of
the most famous plays in NFL history and one that would be
illegal today.
That was something I would have tried to pull off, Favre
said. But I think that only he could get it done. I just think the
good ones find ways to get it done, no matter what.

Massive turnout at CSM for Wounded Warrior charity game


By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Well, the NFL Alumni nearly took out


Snoop Dogg.
The celebrity headliner at the Wounded
Warrior Amputee Football Team vs. NFL
Alumni game Saturday at the College of San
Mateo, Snoop Dogg playing wide receiver for the WWAFT opened the game
going deep, but was met by NFL Alumni
safety Ron Collins, who streaked across the
field to defend the play only to send Snoop
Dogg crashing into a temporary barrier near
the corner of the end zone.
Who knew [Snoop Dogg] had that kind
of athletic ability? Collins said. But no
way he was going to make that play. And he
wasnt about to let me stop him. That was
fun. That made it competitive.
As a collective gasp came over the
approximately 7,500 fans in attendance at
College Heights Stadium, Snoop Dogg
hopped to his feet with a congenial smile.
And after tangling in one of the most physical exchanges of the day, the legendary rap
artist proved ever the showman, bouncing
back two plays later to make the games
first touchdown reception on a pass from
WWAFT quarterback, and famed ESPN personality, Kenny Mayne.
The day belonged to the Wounded
Warriors, though, and just not on the scoreboard. Sure, the WWAFT won 49-35, as they
have all five years the charity game has
been played in the host area of the Super
Bowl. As was the objective of the WWAFT
co-founder and CEO Chris Visser, the game
is meant to showcase the athletic abilities
of U. S. servicemen and servicewomen
injured while serving their country.
The event was received as a rousing success, as fans packed around the sidelines and
end lines for a rare up-close perspective of
some headline names. Along with the 26
players representing the WWAFT, the NFL
Alumni team included an array of former pro
greats, including ex-49ers Dan Bunz, Dana
Stubblefield and CSM alumnus Bill Ring.
A 10-man referee crew with crew chief
and Big 12 ref Dan Romero, and former San
Mateo County ref Kenny Ray brought a
depth of entertainment to the game, with all
10 yellow flags being thrown on the same
play near the end of the first half to favor

Ganem, was playing in his third annual
game. He has also plays regularly in the
annual charity games the team plays every
year on Memorial Day, Independence Day,
Veterans Day and 9/11.
A former prep linebacker Benedictine
Prep College in Savannah, Georgia, Ganem
has scored approximately eight career
touchdowns for the WWAFT, two of which
he scored Saturday. And he spoke with a
glimmer in his eye about being asked to

bedridden was photographed during his

what has become on iconic image in the
WWAFT game programs.
He's a really, really stand-up man,
Ganem said of Mr. Bush. And hes really
doing a lot for the injured veterans.
Former U. S. Air Force airman Kevin
Patton scored another of the WWAFTs
touchdowns, and perhaps the most notable
on the day. This year marks the 30th year

Patton has been refined to a wheelchair after

Western Paralyzed Veterans of America headquartered in Palo Alto.
Playing in his first game with the
WWAFT, Patton also scored a touchdown
with a long rush on a power sweep right.
The former high school standout lined up in
the backfield in his wheelchair, tucked a
handoff securely under his left arm and got a
hearty push across the line of scrimmage
before steering himself into the end zone by
outrunning a trio of defenders in pursuit.

Its definitely important to keep adding
on because you never know whats going to
happen, CSM right fielder Brad Degnan
said. They made a pretty good comeback
there in the ninth inning. So its pretty
important to keep adding on because you
dont know whats going to happen.
Degnan who batted in the No. 6 spot in
the order through CSMs first two games
moved up to the No. 5 spot and continued
his hot start this season. The left-handed
hitting sophomore out of Woodside was 1
for 3 with three RBIs. His .556 batting
average (5 for 9) and seven RBIs are currently tied for tops on the team, while he and
cleanup hitter Juan Gonzalez are tied for
sixth in the state in RBIs.
CSM got on the board in the first with a
sacrifice fly by Degnan. But Solano
answered right back with an RBI single by
cleanup hitter Jack Pridy to tie it 1-1.
Then the Bulldogs offense went large to
knock out Solano starting pitcher Carson
Haws in the second. Having scored 38 runs
through three games, their 12.7 runs per
game stand as best in the state. Still, the
Bulldogs left 10 runners on base in the

game.
I think we left a lot
more runners on than we
wanted to, Degnan said.
We werent hitting the
ball as well as we did in
the last game. But it was
actually a great learning
experience for the whole
Brad Degnan team.
After leaving the
bases loaded in the first, CSM got a two-out
rally going in the second by virtue of three
straight walks to Ryan Krainz, Mike
Riesner and Nick Adgar. Then Gonzalez
gave the Bulldogs the lead with a clutch
two-run single. Degnan followed suit with a
two-run single of his own, giving CSM a 51 lead.
CSM freshman Anders Green sparked both
insurance rallies, going 2 for 4 with two
RBIs and two runs scored. In the fifth,
Daniel Slominski drew a one-out walk and
scored on Greens RBI double. Green later
scored on an RBI groundout off the bat of RJ
Prince. In the seventh, Slominski led off
with a walk. Green followed with an RBI
double and later scored on a squeeze bunt by
Prince.
But Solano rallied late against the
Bulldogs bullpen, scoring two runs in the
eighth before getting the tying and goahead runs on base in the ninth.
With one out in the ninth, CSM freshman

Although, the end of her set was distracted


by the departure of Snoop Dogg, as he
bowed out of the days events after the first
half, with a flood of autograph seekers surrounding him as we exited across the field.
Plenty of fans filled their collectable
footballs and keepsake books with autoright-hander Tommy Watanabe walked the
bases loaded before giving way to righthander Brady Navarro. The sophomore
induced a grounder to the middle of the
infield, but the second baseman Krainz
committed the first of two CSM errors in the
inning.
With one run in and the bases still loaded,
Navarro threw a wild pitch to plate another
run. Then Joey Dodson produced a two-run
single to knock Navarro out of the game.
CSM turned to Quinby, who quickly got
the second out. But after designated hitter
Michael Driscoll singled home a run to
make it 9-8, a second error reared its head.
With Driscoll on first and two outs, pinch
hitter Kweisi Samuel lifted a shallow fly
ball to right field, and with CSMs Graham
MacMillan sprinting in with the sun in his
eyes, he mishandled the ball, allowing
Driscoll to advance to third.
But Quinby bounced back and induced a
sharp grounder to short off the bat of
Joseph Quintanilla, which Riesner flipped
to Krainz for the final out of the game.
With the win, CSM remains one of just
two undefeated Northern California teams
with three or more games played, along
with Diablo Valley College.

graphs though, as the WWAFT and NFL

game to oblige the many fans that stuck

Norwood. One Panther bumped Norwood, but
he didnt call for a fair catch, then took off to
his right. Escorted by a bevy of blockers, he
appeared headed for a touchdown until DE
Mario Addison chased him down at the
Carolina 14, a 61-yard jaunt.
Denver also forced the first fumble of the
season by All-Pro fullback Mike Tolbert.
But the Broncos also had a giveaway when
Manning was picked by DE Kony Ealy on a
zone blitz deep in Panthers territory. And the
lead was only six at halftime.
The margin stayed there when Graham
Gano hit the right upright on a 44-yard field
goal attempt to open the second half. Then
his counterpart, McManus, made his 10th in
as many postseason tries for a 16-7 margin.
The kicker was rescuing Denvers inept shortyardage offense, just as he did in a playoff win
over Pittsburgh when he made five field
goals.
Gano made up for his miss with a 39-yarder
to make it a one-score game with 10:21
remaining. The 50th Super Bowl came down
to the last quarter and as it had all day,
Denvers defense dominated.

MADRID Barcelona did just


enough to defeat last-place Levante
2-0 on Sunday and tie its all-time
record of 28 consecutive games
without a loss.
Barcelona took the lead with an
own goal by Levante defender
David Navarro in the 21st minute
and sealed the victory with an
injury-time score by Luis Suarez to
match the unbeaten streak set by
Pep Guardiolas team in the 201011 season.
The result also kept Barcelona
atop the Spanish league with 54
points, three more than Atletico
Madrid, which defeated Eibar 3-1 on
Saturday. Third-place Real Madrid is
seven points off the lead going into
its game at Granada later Sunday.

Barcelona will
have a game in
hand at the end
of the 23rd round
this weekend.
Also Sunday,
Gary Nevilles
Valencia lost 1-0
at Real Betis in a
that
Luis Enrique result
extended
the
teams winless streak in the league
to 12 rounds, nine of those under the
former England defender.
It was the 10th win in a row for
Barcelona in all competitions. Luis
Enriques squad hasnt lost since a 21 defeat at Sevilla in the seventh
round of the Spanish league in
October.
What matters to me are the
teams objectives, said Enrique,
who coached Barcelona for the

100th time on Sunday. These are


nice numbers, if they help us win
titles at the end of the season, fantastic. We are in good position but
there is still a lot left.
Guardiolas team in 2011 went on
to win the league by four points
over Real Madrid. It also won the
Champions
League,
beating
Manchester United in the final
weeks later. That unbeaten streak
ended with a 3-1 loss at Real Betis
in the Copa del Rey quarterfinals.
Both unbeaten teams won 23
games and drew five, each scoring
more than 85 goals and allowing
fewer than 15. Guardiolas squad
also won 10 in a row at one point.
The Barcelona team coached by
Rinus Michels in the 1973-74 season, which had Johan Cruyff on
the squad, also hadnt lost in 27
straight games.

Gut wins Super-G World Cup race, Vonn third


By Nesha Starcevic
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN,
Germany Lara Gut of
Switzerland won her first Super-G
race of the season on Sunday to cut
into Lindsey Vonns overall World
Cup lead.
Viktoria
Rebensburg
of
Germany edged Vonn for second
place as the American narrowly
missed out on winning back-toback races on the Kandahar hill.
Vonn won Saturdays downhill.
Still, Vonn set an all-time high

with her 42nd podium finish in a


Super-G. Renate Goetschl of
Austria had 41.
Vonns 27 World Cup wins in
Super-G races is already a record
for both men and women. She had
won seven of the last eight SuperG races going back to January
2015.
But Gut found the winning line
on a dark and bumpy course to win
by .15 seconds. Vonn was .23 seconds back in third.
I didnt risk everything and
Lara did, said Vonn, who had won
the three previous Super-G races

this season.
Gut now has 17 career wins,
eight of them in Super-G.
I didnt think very much, I just
let go, Gut said after her fifth win
of the season.
Gut is now 87 points behind
Vonn in the overall World Cup
standings. Vonn also remains atop
the Super-G standings.
When I ski the way I can, I am
able to mix it up with the best,
said Gut, who finished a disappointing 14th in Saturdays downhill. I just made fewer mistakes
than the others.

Kung Fu Panda 3 tops Super Bowl weekend


By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The Coen brothers Hail, Caesar! and the Jane
Austen-monster mashup Pride
and Prejudice and Zombies followed distantly behind Kung Fu
Panda 3, which remained on top
of the box office over Super Bowl
weekend.
DreamWorks
Animations
Kung Fu Panda sequel earned an
estimated $21 million in its second weekend of release, according
to studio estimates Sunday. Joel
and Ethan Coens 50s Hollywood
satire Hail, Caesar! opened in
second place with an estimated
$11.4 million in North American
theaters for Universal Pictures.
The two other major new releas-

expectations of a No. 2 opening,
Pride
and
Prejudice
and
Zombies, bankrolled by Cross
Creek Picture and released by
Sonys Screen Gems, eked out a
meager $5.2 million.
Though the majority of weekend
grosses are made on Fridays and
Saturdays, Hollywood generally
seeks to avoid competing with the
football broadcast and instead
sticks largely to counterprogramming. The best Super Bowl weekend remains the 2008 concert film

Paul Dergarabedian, senior
media analyst for comScore,
called Super Bowl weekend a tradeoff for studios that sacrifice a day
of moviegoing for the promotional benefit of the games mass audience. A number of movie previews
were set to play during the broadcast.
Its one of those weekends that
Hollywood braces for but they
know how to course correct before
it happens, Dergarabedian said.
Playing in 2, 232 theaters,
Hail, Caesar! is one of the Coen

Carolina Panthers play in the big game,
Sunday at Levis Stadium.
And though the accountant could not find
a friend or family member committed
enough to make the sizable investment to
accompany him on his first trip to the Bay
Area, Salvaterra said he had no regrets.
This is a lifetime dream come true, he
said. The money isnt even a thing.
Kevin Jamison, of Burlingame, echoed
those sentiments in admiring the larger
than life nature of the nations most notable
sporting event.
This is just one of those bucket list
items, said Jamison, while dawning a
Burlingame High School baseball cap.
Though Jamison enjoyed a relatively
smooth commute down the Peninsula to
arrive at the stadium, others were forced to
make much more substantial travel plans.
Dave Thomas flew from Hartford, Conn.
to sit in the last row of the top deck in
Levis Stadium.
Thomas paid $500 for his remote seat
which required climbing a formidable set of
stairs to reach, to watch a game he had no
rooting interest in.
Despite the sacrifice required to attend the
game, Thomas said he was unable turn down
the offer from his friend to come along
when the seats were offered.
I couldnt miss it, Thomas said, while
sitting under the direct sun as the wind
whipped through the upper level of the stadium.
Thomas braved fears of snarled traffic by
driving to the game Sunday morning from
Monterey, and said he was rewarded with a
smooth trip.
It was a piece of cake, he said, of the car
ride into the stadium.
Many who took public transportation to
the game also enjoyed a fast and efficient
route.
Karen Charles, also of Charlotte, boarded
the Valley Transit Authority light rail line
from the Mountain View station and arrived
at the door steps of the stadium roughly 30
minutes later.
The East Coast native staying in San
Carlos during her third trip to the Bay Area
said she was impressed with the efficacy of
local public transportation systems, as she
had also experienced smooth rides into San
Francisco earlier in the weekend while taking Caltrain up the Peninsula.
It worked out great for us, said Charles,
of her public transportation experience.
Charles and her husband Joe have been
season ticket holders for the Panthers since
the team was founded in 1995.

ANDREW SCHEINER/DAILY JOURNAL

Levis Stadium was filled with about 80 percent Denver Broncos fans Sunday in Santa Clara.
The couple applied for Super Bowl tickets
through the franchise lottery when the
Panthers defeated the Arizona Cardinals to
go to the big game, but were not selected.
After resigning herself to missing out on
attending, a last minute opportunity to purchase tickets was afford through a friend
connected to Panthers owner Jerry
Richardson.
Richardson, who Charles referred to as
the big cat, paved the way for the couple
to purchase two tickets at face value of
$1,000 per seat.
Though the family spent heavily to fly
across the nation on a whim, rent a hotel
room, pay occasionally exorbitant prices
to enjoy the Bay Area nightlife, Karen
Charles said it was well worth it to check
this item off the bucket list, she said.
Charles, may have, if only for a fleeting
moment, questioned the wisdom of that
investment in the wake of the games first
touchdown, which allowed the Broncos to
jump out to an early 10-0 lead.
The crowd erupted to nearing deafening
decibels after a sack of Carolinas newlyminted Most Valuable Player Cam Newton
caused a fumble which was recovered in the
end zone by Denver defender Malik
Jackson,
Following the score, a gargantuan sound
system ratcheted to unknowing levels
pumped music with indiscernible lyrics, rattling rib cages of those assembled at the
68,000 seat open-air stadium.

Two who joined that chorus of enthusiastic Broncos fans were Christine Hafen and
Ross Maak, who drove together from a
Denver suburb to watch what they expected
could be the final game in the legendary
career of Broncos quarterback Peyton
Manning.
Though Hafen and Maak were attending
their first Super Bowl, they were on their
second set of tickets in consecutive years.
They purchased tickets to last years big
game in Arizona, but backed out at the last
moment in favor of selling their seats on
the secondary market for a combined nearly
$21,000.
They used that nest egg to finance purchasing tickets to the game in Santa Clara,
which cost them a combined roughly

19

$6,000.

SHOW
Continued from page 1
Carolina Panthers play in the big game,
Sunday at Levis Stadium.
And though the accountant could not find
a friend or family member committed
enough to make the sizable investment to
accompany him on his first trip to the Bay
Area, Salvaterra said he had no regrets.
This is a lifetime dream come true, he
said. The money isnt even a thing.
Kevin Jamison, of Burlingame, echoed
those sentiments in admiring the larger
than life nature of the nations most notable
sporting event.
This is just one of those bucket list
items, said Jamison, while dawning a
Burlingame High School baseball cap.
Though Jamison enjoyed a relatively
smooth commute down the Peninsula to
arrive at the stadium, others were forced to
make much more substantial travel plans.
Dave Thomas flew from Hartford, Conn.
to sit in the last row of the top deck in
Levis Stadium.
Thomas paid $500 for his remote seat
which required climbing a formidable set of
stairs to reach, to watch a game he had no
rooting interest in.
Despite the sacrifice required to attend the
game, Thomas said he was unable turn down
the offer from his friend to come along
when the seats were offered.
I couldnt miss it, Thomas said, while
sitting under the direct sun as the wind
whipped through the upper level of the stadium.
Thomas braved fears of snarled traffic by
driving to the game Sunday morning from
Monterey, and said he was rewarded with a
smooth trip.
It was a piece of cake, he said, of the car
ride into the stadium.
Many who took public transportation to
the game also enjoyed a fast and efficient
route.
Karen Charles, also of Charlotte, boarded
the Valley Transit Authority light rail line
from the Mountain View station and arrived
at the door steps of the stadium roughly 30
minutes later.
The East Coast native staying in San
Carlos during her third trip to the Bay Area
said she was impressed with the efficacy of
local public transportation systems, as she
had also experienced smooth rides into San
Francisco earlier in the weekend while taking Caltrain up the Peninsula.
It worked out great for us, said Charles,
of her public transportation experience.
Charles and her husband Joe have been
season ticket holders for the Panthers since
the team was founded in 1995.

ANDREW SCHEINER/DAILY JOURNAL

Levis Stadium was filled with about 80 percent Denver Broncos fans Sunday in Santa Clara.
The couple applied for Super Bowl tickets
through the franchise lottery when the
Panthers defeated the Arizona Cardinals to
go to the big game, but were not selected.
After resigning herself to missing out on
attending, a last minute opportunity to purchase tickets was afford through a friend
connected to Panthers owner Jerry
Richardson.
Richardson, who Charles referred to as
the big cat, paved the way for the couple
to purchase two tickets at face value of
$1,000 per seat.
Though the family spent heavily to fly
across the nation on a whim, rent a hotel
room, pay occasionally exorbitant prices
to enjoy the Bay Area nightlife, Karen
Charles said it was well worth it to check
this item off the bucket list, she said.
Charles, may have, if only for a fleeting
moment, questioned the wisdom of that
investment in the wake of the games first
touchdown, which allowed the Broncos to
jump out to an early 10-0 lead.
The crowd erupted to nearing deafening
decibels after a sack of Carolinas newlyminted Most Valuable Player Cam Newton
caused a fumble which was recovered in the
end zone by Denver defender Malik
Jackson.
Following the score, a gargantuan sound
system ratcheted to unknowing levels
pumped music with indiscernible lyrics, rattling rib cages of those assembled at the
68,000 seat open-air stadium.

Two who joined that chorus of enthusiastic Broncos fans were Christine Hafen and
Ross Maak, who drove together from a
Denver suburb to watch what they expected
could be the final game in the legendary
career of Broncos quarterback Peyton
Manning.
Though Hafen and Maak were attending
their first Super Bowl, they were on their
second set of tickets in consecutive years.
They purchased tickets to last years big
game in Arizona, but backed out at the last
moment in favor of selling their seats on
the secondary market for a combined nearly
$21,000.
They used that nest egg to finance purchasing tickets to the game in Santa Clara,
which cost them a combined roughly

19

$6,000.
Cloaked from head to toe in Broncos
garb, Maak espoused the importance of seeing his team play for a title.
This is a tremendous opportunity, he
said. Im having joy overload.
A similar perspective was shared nearly
universally by those in attendance.
All afternoon, raucous yet playful cheers
of Panthers rallying cry keep pounding,

BOND
Continued from page 1
ture the council approved Oct. 27,
2014, so City Manager Jeff Maltbie
could hire additional temporary staff.
Given the citys small staff, our current heavy project load with Wheeler
Plaza, the Adult Community Center
Remodel, Transit Village, enhanced
community engagement, Landmark
Hotel, infrastructure projects, etc. ...
and the unprecedented number of residential and commercial development
applications, we do not have the bandwidth to pursue additional large scale,
complex and time sensitive projects
such as shuttles, bond measures, parking, etc., Maltbie wrote in a 2014
staff report.
Without the additional resources,
Maltbie wrote it would not be possible
to meet the timelines identified for
new objectives.
The council identified the following
targets to meet during strategic planning in September 2014:
Coordinate shuttle services (e.g.,
Uber and Lyft);
Create a development on El Camino
Real to include public parking, housing (including affordable) and retail;
Make most government services
available online;
Purchase Black Mountain property;
Create traditional and non-traditional parks and recreation facilities

BUS
Continued from page 1
cap and trade funds by applying for the
grant the amount of which is set by
the state.
Hopefully with next years allocation, we can start to get enough money
to at least do a pilot program, Gee
said. The board is very interested in a
pilot program using electric buses, its
just a matter of getting the funding to
do that. So this grant helps, but we
cant do it with the grant by itself.
Unsure of exactly how much is needed to begin a pilot program, electric
buses alone currently cost between $1
million and $1. 3 million a piece,
according to Gee and SamTrans
spokeswoman Tasha Bartholomew.
Gee noted theres much to consider
in crafting a viable program such as
comparing the cost of a battery with
how long it can hold a charge, choos-

(e.g., skate, dog and aquatic parks);


Create an aquatic center; and
Create more office space.
Maltbie then hired Elaine Costello
and Kristen Elderson to be the projects special director and analyst.
The council opted to preserve Black
Mountain in early 2015. Up until that
point, the city had spent $95,844 on
the first phase of outreach related to all
the projects listed above.
Shape San Carlos community forums
during the first phase cost $26,772.
From March 10 through July 28,
2015, the city spent $336,677 for
community outreach on Black
Mountain, including preliminary bond
measure work.
Of that money, $101,337 was spent
on consulting and $90,185 was spent
on outreach, including targeted marketing and four mailers.
Another $60, 507 was spent on
property/real estate services for
appraisal and negotiations.
Since City Attorney Greg Rubens
had a conflict due to the proximity of
his home to Black Mountain, the city
spent $34,000 on legal services provided by Steve Mattas, Maltbie wrote
in an email Wednesday.
The last phase of city spending was
between July 29 and Nov. 3, 2015, for
$38,970. Of that total, about half was
spent on project management.
The Black Mountain final report is
a comprehensive picture about the
process followed, said Councilman
Mark Olbert, who donated $10,000 of

his own money on the yes campaign.


As far as the total cost goes, Olbert
said: Im always on the lookout for
ways to do things cheaper.
There are some lessons to be learned
from the failed bond measure especially when it came to polling, he said.
Im not sure we were asking the
right questions, Olbert said.
During the campaign, proponents of
Measure V claimed it would spare Black
Mountain from the development of
100 homes or more.
Foes said that was disingenuous
claim.
The last big issue that we have
never had any sort of closure on is for
someone from the city to admit that
the claim of 150 homes (200 homes by
Olbert) was absolutely absurd and not
truthful at all, Measure V opponent
Andrew Shenk wrote in an email to the
Daily Journal Wednesday.
Shenk has other issues too with the
city such as a request for emails related
to the measure before the election that
contained redacted material.
The $45 million bond would have
gone toward the purchase of about 25
acres in three parcels that was the former home of the Black Mountain
Spring Water site located on Alameda
de las Pulgas between Madera Avenue
and Melendy Drive. The total cost of
the bond would have totaled about $86
million and cost property owners
about $20 per $100, 000 assessed
value per year per property owner.

ing an appropriate route and purchasing charging infrastructure. Yet as EV


technology continues to advance, Gee
said hopefully it will become more
affordable.
Its a constant evolution of technology and the focus is on the batteries, Gee said. Were hopeful maybe
by year two or three [of the grant
cycles], the battery technology will
have improved so much that the cost of
the buses will come down.
Currently, SamTrans spends about
$2 million a year on diesel fuel for its
buses that provide about 1 million
rides per month. It already began
investing in alternatives by replacing
some of its aging fleet with 25 dieselelectric hybrid buses starting in 2013.
SamTrans is committed to finding
sustainable transit solutions and, over
the years, the agency has worked
aggressively to reduce emissions and
look
at
new
technologies,
Bartholomew said in an email. We are
still keeping an eye on the industry
and if we are able to transition our

entire bus fleet to zero emissions


someday, its going to take time and a
lot of funding because electric buses
are very expensive to operate.
As cities throughout the county
finalize their climate action plans, its
become clear that fumes from vehicles
is the number one contributor to the
areas greenhouse gas emissions.
Even though it may take time,
SamTrans and other transit agencies
may soon face new laws requiring them
to make the investment. Now, Gee said
theyre hoping to get ahead of the legislative curve.
Theres two big issues. One, climate change; and if we can go to a carbon free bus or a low carbon [vehicle]
moving people around, thats better
for the environment. Two, theres the
discussion at the federal and state level
to make transit districts go to electric
buses. So rather than be told, why not
go and invest in it, Gee said. Why
wait? Especially here in California and
Silicon Valley with the innovation
here And, its the right thing to do.
