El Camino revamp takes shape


Redwood City officials taking community temperature before changes

A cohesive plan for the 2.5-mile portion


of El Camino Real running through
Redwood City is taking shape through a
wide array of the community input focusing
on aesthetics, traffic, congestion and
pedestrian and bicyclist safety while also
ensuring the needs of the business commu-

guidelines for future growth on Redwood
Citys portion of El Camino Real, which
largely compasses the area between the
state highway and the Caltrain tracks,
just past Whipple Avenue in the north and

Dumbarton Avenue in the south.


Since January 2016, Senior Planner
Lindy Chan has worked closely with a consulting team to assess the areas existing

Corridor Plan. Their efforts have gathered

Chan said the plan would more cohesively integrate existing zoning standards to
help guide development projects along the
corridor. She anticipates major developments within the corridor area to be concentrated on the east side of El Camino Real,

Fourth-grader Khaliah White reads her winning poem at the 33rd Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Essay, Poetry and Art
Contest held at the King Center in San Mateo on Saturday, Jan. 14.

Foster City is narrowing down a multi-million dollar


effort to defend against sea level rise and shield residents
from having to buy federally-mandated flood insurance by
wrapping an elevated levee around the Bayfront community.
The goal is to fortify the 4-square mile city in light of
predictions that the seas will rise up to 3 feet in the next
century. It will also protect against a 100-year storm federal officials fear could prove catastrophic for thousands of
residents and international businesses headquartered in the
city. Described as one of the citys most important infrastructure projects, preliminary cost estimates for raising
the 8-mile levee are $75 million or more.
The levee itself is one of the most valuable pieces of
infrastructure in the city, said Community Development
Director Curtis Banks. Its tremendously important from a

San Mateo nonprofit Peninsula Family Service has new leader

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Whether its toddlers whose developing brains benefit from childhood


learning programs or aging seniors in
need of social recreation, the new
leader of Peninsula Family Service is
dedicated to helping those in various
stages of life.
Heather Cleary was named executive
director of the downtown San Mateoheadquartered nonprofit last month
after former leader Arne Croce retired.

Cleary, who has a background as a


certified public accountant with corporate and nonprofit experience, has
been with Peninsula Family Service
for the last six years first serving as its
chief financial officer and more recently as its associate executive director.
A San Mateo resident and mother of
two school-age boys, Cleary said
shes thrilled to be continuing the
work of the agency that annually
assists more than 10, 000 clients
across San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa
Cruz and San Benito counties.

people around you. I say Peninsula
Family Service runs on passion,
because nonprofits arent always the
best paid positions in the world but we
all have a passion to be working here,
Cleary said.

So the couple from Baldwyn,


Mississippi, got in some exercise to
try to hurry the baby up a bit. The night
of Dec. 17, Gardner said, we went
walking around the parking lot at First

Whether or not the exercise sped
things up, Cade was born at 10:01 a.m.
on Dec. 18 exactly 27 years after his

ome San Francisco 49ers fans questioned why the prestigious Len
Eshmont award went to Colin
Kaepernick who quarterbacked the 2016
team to a dismal 2-14 record as well as
refusing to stand for the national anthem.
A bigger question was this: Who was Len
Eshmont?
Almost all the news stories about the
honor bestowed on Kaepernick by the vote
of his teammates used the same language.
The award was the 49ers most prestigious honor, one that went to the player
who best exemplified the inspirational
and courageous play of Len Eshmont.
Eshmont was a member of the original San
Francisco 49ers team that debuted in 1946
in the All America Football Conference
that would merge with the National
Football League. That was about the only
mention of Eshmont. What was so inspirational and courageous about him?
To answer it would be necessary to talk
with his teammates from 1946. Good luck
with that, which is just what the Rear View

A mayor for the community


John Seybert taps teams to envision Redwood Citys future
By Anna Schuessler
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

REUTERS FILE PHOTO

Goodwin Liu, right, became a law professor and associate dean at the
University of California, Berkeley, before President Barack Obama nominated
him in 2010 for a prestigious federal appeals court seat.

Few Asian-Americans hold


top legal jobs, study says
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO When


Goodwin Liu joined the sevenmember California Supreme Court
in 2011, he became its fourth sitting member of Asian descent. The
number is remarkable.
The other state supreme courts in
the U.S. combined have a handful of
Asian-American justices. And
Asian-American representation on
other state courts, the federal bench
and among the countrys top prosecutors is similarly scant.
Those findings emerged from a
new study by Liu and law students at
Yale University that provides a portrait of Asian-Americans in the
legal profession. The conclusion:
They are well-represented among
the nations attorneys but still

missing from some of the highest


posts.
They have a foot in the door in
virtually every sector of the legal
profession, Liu said during a recent
interview. The question now is
how wide that doors going to
swing open for them.
For Liu, the study is personal. His
parents were doctors who came to
the U.S. in the late 1960s from
Taiwan. Nothing in his childhood
was a conduit for a legal career. His
parents encouraged him to study
math and science. He didnt know
any attorneys growing up and
almost became a doctor.
Liu said the difference for him was
mentorship. He had two AsianAmerican leaders as role models:
U.S. Rep. Bob Matsui and former
Yale Law School Dean Harold Koh.

For Mayor John Seybert, helping others in his community is


second nature.
Growing up in a small town in
the Santa Cruz mountains,
Seybert developed an instinct for
chipping in from an early age.
The town I grew up in is still
100 percent volunteer fire department, he said. You dont have a
choice, you help out in your community.
Now heading into his ninth
year on the Redwood City
Council and second as mayor,
Seyberts instincts are still very
much intact. The mayor, 52, is
now
the
Facilities
and
Transportation
manager
at
Crystal Springs Uplands School
in Hillsborough, where he works
with one of his three daughters.
Though he has lived in several
neighborhoods within the city
since he was drawn to it 20 years
ago, the one thing that has stayed
constant is his involvement in
the community.
After engaging with the
Planning Commission on a building project for his employer,
Seybert became interested in
reviewing the citys future development projects, joining the
commission in 2001. Eight years
later, he found himself running
for one of two empty spots on the
City Council at the encouragement of friends.
It is no surprise that some of

John Seybert

Sey b ert s
f a v o r i t e
moments
as
mayor
have
been defined by
the spirit of
co l l ab o rat i o n
he and his fellow
councilmembers
have
devel-

oped.
Looking back, for me the
highlight was no single issue,
he said. It was the council really
working together.
A self-described sports lover,
Seybert said he approaches much
of his work with a keen sense of
the strengths each team member
brings to the table.
You wouldnt have a team of all
kickers in football, he said.
In a similar fashion, he finds
the wide array of perspectives
shared in council discussions to
be the reason why the council has
been able to work through a considerable number of projects as a
group of part-time volunteers.
Looking forward, Seybert is
increasingly conscious of the
citys growth and the councils
responsibility to leverage the
citys success for future years.
The big issue for Redwood
City is managing our growth, our
success, he said. Weve had a
tremendous renaissance and that
brings with it pressures.
Seybert noted the citys
improved fiscal position within
an economic recovery. Though
councilmembers
face
more

requests for funding programs


started since the recession ended,
their commitment to the citys
fiscal health is what will determine the citys future. The mayor
is focused on preparing the city
for slower economic cycles and
storing surpluses in the citys
reserve. Last year, the council
dedicated a portion of the citys
surplus toward long-term liabilities like employee retirement
funds.
Its like saying to a little kid,
hey, youre going to get a savings account for Christmas, he
said.
While Seybert acknowledges
that budget meetings are the
councils lowest attended meetings, he has grown in appreciation for the difficult decisions
previous councils have made to
ensure the citys health far into
the future. He said decisions like
the one of a previous councils to
tax resident use of utilities have
allowed Redwood City to grow
despite difficult economic conditions.
Thats not because we made
one awesome decision, we made
good little decisions along the
way, he said.
This legacy of leadership, as
Seybert describes it, is one he
hopes to carry on as he and the
council continue to shape
Redwood Citys future.
We didnt get to where we are
because people sat around, he
said. Its because Redwood City
made bold decisions and they
werent necessarily popular.

Outgoing CIA director rips into


Donald Trump on Russia threat
By Steve Peoples and Luarie Kellman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The
president-elect
remained behind closed
doors in his Manhattan
high rise Sunday. His
team worked to answer
questions about his plans
at home and abroad once
hes sworn into office on
Friday.
Among Trumps immeJohn Brennan
diate challenges: the
United States complicated relationship with
Russia, crafting an affordable health care
alternative that doesnt strip coverage from
millions of Americans, and growing questions about the legitimacy of his presidency.
Civil rights legend Rep. John Lewis, DGa., is among several Democrats in
Congress who vowed to skip Trumps inauguration, charging that Russian interference
in the 2016 election delegitimizes his presidency.
There will be many more members who
join us in this decision, Rep. Jared
Huffman, D-Calif., wrote Saturday on his
Facebook page.
Trumps lieutenants pushed back hard
Sunday in a round of television interviews.
I think its incredibly disappointing and I
think its irresponsible for people like himself to question the legitimacy of the next
United States president, incoming White
House chief of staff Reince Priebus said of
Lewis on ABCs This Week, insisting that
Republicans did not question the legitimacy
of President Barack Obamas victory eight
years ago. Vice President-elect Mike Pence
said on Fox News Sunday that he hopes
Lewis will change his mind and attend.
Priebus later acknowledged that conservatives led by Trump himself spent years
questioning Obamas eligibility to serve as
president, suggesting he was not born in the
United States.

NEW YORK The outgoing CIA director


charged on Sunday that Donald Trump lacks a
full understanding of the threat Moscow
poses to the United States, delivering a public lecture to the president-elect that further
highlighted the bitter state of Trumps relations with American intelligence agencies.
John Brennans pointed message on
national television came just five days
before Trump becomes the nations 45th
president amid lingering questions about
Russias role in the 2016 election even as
the focus shifts to the challenges of governREUTERS ing.

LOS ANGELES A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket blasted off


from California on Saturday and placed a constellation of
satellites in orbit, marking the companys first launch since a fireball engulfed
a similar rocket on a Florida launch pad
more than four months ago.
The two-stage rocket lifted off from
Vandenberg Air Force Base at 9:54 a.m.
carrying a payload for Iridium
Communications Inc., which is replacing its entire global network with 70
next-generation satellites.
Elon Musk
The satellites were deployed about an
hour after launch.
About nine minutes after the rocket blasted off, to cheers
from the control room, its jettisoned first stage landed
upright on a so-called droneship in the Pacific Ocean south
of Vandenberg part of Spacexs effort to make boosters
reusable.
The company has succeeded six times previously with
landings on a barge or ashore.
A camera aboard the first stage gave viewers a you-arethere experience as it returned to Earth, flared landing rockets and made a perfect upright touchdown on the floating
pad.
The return to flight is an important step for SpaceX, billionaire Elon Musks California-based company that has
about 70 launches in line, worth more than $10 billion. In
addition to commercial launches, SpaceX ferries supplies to
the International Space Station and is developing a capsule
capable of carrying astronauts to the station.
SpaceX officials say they identified all possible causes of
the Sept. 1 accident during prelaunch testing at Cape
Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, and took corrective
action.

City College of San Francisco


wins accreditation fight
SAN FRANCISCO City College
of San Francisco one of
Californias largest community colleges has won its five-year fight to
keep its accreditation.
Chancellor Susan Lamb said in an
email Friday that the accrediting
commission had decided to extend the
schools seal of approval for a full
term of seven years.
The Accrediting Commission for
Community and Junior Colleges
made the decision during its semiannual meeting last week.
The commission decided to revoke
City Colleges accreditation over
concerns about the schools financial
management.
School officials persuaded the commission that City College, which has
about 30,000 undergrads, is now able
to accurately forecast and monitor its
budgets.
Losing accreditation would likely
have forced the college to close
because unaccredited schools are ineligible for state and federal funding.
of size, of the players.
I think the biggest guy on the
team was a tackle who was about
220, said Freitas, who pointed out
that unlimited substitution, or two
platoon football, was in the future.
The 1946 team members played both
defense and offense so stamina meant
as much, or more, than bulk.
Reading the roster shows the team
was indeed a San Francisco squad with
players from Stanford, Cal, St. Marys
and Santa Clara, where Freitas went to
school. Also distinctive was the fact
that all were veterans of the military.
Its hard to imagine any of them not
standing for the anthem.
Freitas, an Army veteran who was
awarded the Bronze Star, was asked
about Kaepernicks unusual protest
against what he sees as racial inequality.
Hes entitled to do that, he said.
Its nice to see he feels strongly
about something.

The California Highway Patrol on


Friday arrested a woman in connection with a fatal hit-and-run collision
on Highway 101 in San Carlos in
which a pedestrian was killed.
Sharon Oo, 36, of Union City, was
arrested on suspicion of felony hitand-run, according to the CHP.
The CHP responded at 6:37 p.m. to
a report of a pedestrian walking
toward the highway north of Brittan
Avenue.
Officers arrived at the scene and
located a man in the road who had
been hit by a vehicle, according to
the CHP.
The victim, identified as a 45-yearold man from Redwood City, was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Officers also located some frontend parts of a white Toyota.
The investigation revealed the man
was walking along the highway when
he stumbled into the road and was
struck by a Toyota driving south.
It appears the victim may have
been drinking an alcoholic beverage
prior to the collision, according to
the CHP.
The Toyota continued driving south
and exited at Whipple Avenue.
The driver, identified as Oo, was
located approximately an hour later
in Redwood City and not too far from
where the collision occurred, according to the CHP.
Investigators said it does not
appear she had alcohol in her system.

Thousands rally to resist


GOPs health law repeal
By Corey Williams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WARREN, Mich. Thousands of people


showed up in freezing temperatures on
Sunday in Michigan to hear Sen. Bernie
Sanders denounce Republican efforts to
repeal President Barack Obamas health care
law, one of dozens of rallies Democrats
staged across the country to highlight
opposition.
Labor unions were a strong presence at the
demonstration in a parking lot at Macomb
Community College in the Detroit suburb of
Warren, where some people carried signs
saying Save our Health Care.
Lisa Bible, 55, of Bancroft, Michigan, said
she has an autoimmune disease and high cholesterol. She said the existing law has been
an answer to her and her husbands prayers,
but she worries that if its repealed her family
may get stuck with her medical bills.
Im going to get really sick and my life
will be at risk, said Bible, an online
antique dealer.
President-elect Donald Trump has vowed
to overturn and replace the Affordable Care
Act, and majority Republicans in Congress
this week began the process of repealing it
using a budget maneuver that requires a bare
majority in the Senate.

This is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. It is time we got our
national priorities right, Sanders told the
Michigan rally.
The law has delivered health coverage to
about 20 million people but is saddled with
problems such as rapidly rising premiums
and large co-payments.
Britt Waligorski, 31, a health care administrator for a dental practice, said she didnt
get health insurance through work but has
been covered through the health law for
three years. While the premiums have gone
up, she said she is concerned that services
for women will be taken away if it is
repealed.
Its done a lot for women for their annual
checkups, for mammograms -- womens
health in general. If this gets repealed, were
going to go back to the old days when thats
not covered, she said.
At the rally in San Francisco, Silvia Pena,
a 45-year-old nanny, said she had never had
held insurance until she enrolled in the
Affordable Care Act six years ago.
I dont have health issues, but you can
need insurance any time. We should all have
access to health services, said Pena, who
held a sign that read Its our right and our
body. Keep Planned Parenthood and
Obamacare.

WASHINGTON Protesters gathered


Saturday to support immigrant rights at rallies around the U.S., denouncing Presidentelect Donald Trump for his anti-immigrant
rhetoric and his pledges to build a wall on
the U.S.-Mexican border and to crack down
on Muslims entering the country.
We are not going to allow Donald Trump
to bury the Statue of Liberty, Sen. Chris
Van Hollen, a Maryland Democrat, told a
standing-room-only crowd at historic
African-American church in downtown
Washington during one of dozens of rallies
around the nation.
In Chicago, more than 1, 000 people
poured into a teachers union hall to support
immigrant rights and implore one another
to fight for those rights against what they
fear will be a hostile Trump administration.
Ron Taylor, pastor of a Chicago-area
Disciples for Christ Church and executive
director of the United Congress of
Community and Religious Organizations,
told the audience there, Regardless of what
happens in the coming days we know that

good will conquer evil and we want to say to


each and every one of you, you are not
alone.
In Los Angeles, several hundred people
rallied at a downtown Mexican-American
cultural center and plaza. Some carried signs
saying Here to Stay and chanted Si se
puede, Spanish for Yes, we can.
The protests mark the latest chapter in a
movement that has evolved since 2006,
when more than a million people took to
the streets to protest a Republican-backed
immigration bill that would have made it a
crime to be in the country illegally.
Saturdays events in in Washington,
Chicago, Los Angeles, San Jose,
California, and elsewhere took place as
thousands participated in a We Shall Not
Be Moved march and rally in Washington
ahead of Mondays Martin Luther King Jr.
Day holiday.
The line to enter Metropolitan AME
Church in Washington stretched nearly a
city block. People attending included immigrants who lack permission to be in the
country and their relatives and supporters.
Also present were elected officials, clergy
and representatives of labor and womens
groups.

Martin Luther King march in D.C.
By Jessica Gresko
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Despite rain and cold


weather, marchers filled several blocks in
Washington on Saturday as they rallied in a
Martin Luther King Jr. Day march that was at
times also a rally against President-elect
Donald Trump.
Civil rights leader Rev. Al Sharpton had
organized Saturdays We Shall Not Be
Moved march and rally ahead of Mondays
Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday. But
Trump, whose inauguration will take place
in less than a week, was also on marchers
minds.
Holding umbrellas and bundled against
temperatures in the mid-30s the crowd
chanted No justice, no peace and We will

not be moved but also We will not be


Trumped and Love Trumps hate. They
cheered when one speaker referenced the
comments of Georgia Rep. John Lewis, who
has said he will not attend Trumps inauguration and, an interview with NBCs Meet the
Press set to air Sunday, that he doesnt consider Trump a legitimate president.
We come not to appeal to Donald Trump,
because hes made it clear what his policies
are and what his nominations are. We come
to say to the Democrats in the Senate and in
the House and to the moderate Republicans
to Get some backbone. Get some guts. We
didnt send you down here to be weakkneed, Sharpton told marchers at a rally
after they walked from the Washington
Monument to a park near the Martin Luther
King Jr. Memorial.

In Trump, man elected


by Americans is the
president theyll get
By Julie Pace
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON After 10 weeks, dozens


of tweets and one rollicking news conference, Donald Trumps transition into the
White House has left little doubt that the
man Americans elected in November is the
president theyll get.
The immense responsibilities of the
office and the daunting decisions that await
Trump when he takes office Friday have
not appeared to change the confrontational, divisive Republican.
Just days away from his inauguration,
Trump is still litigating old campaign
fights and picking new ones with intelligence agencies and Rep. John Lewis, the
Georgia Democrat and civil rights movement veteran. Trump is refusing to be
boxed in by the conservative ideology his
party prefers and hes battling with journalists, yet still craves their attention.
To supporters, Trumps handling of this

transition period is proof that the political


novice-turned-president-elect plans to follow through on his campaign promises to
take a sledgehammer to Washingtons traditional ways.
The American people voted for
change, Trump spokesman Sean Spicer
said. He is the instrument of that change.
Its clear, however, that a solid majority
of Americans are not behind him. Trump is
poised to enter the Oval Office with a far
lower approval rating 42 percent
than his three predecessors, according to
Gallup, which only has comparable data
going back to 1992. The previous lowest
was George W. Bush, who won positive
marks from 59 percent during his transition to office. Bush, like Trump, also lost
the popular vote in a tightly contested
race.
Gallup found just 44 percent of those
questioned approve of the way the incoming president has handled his transition,
compared with 83 percent approval of

Barack Obamas transition. Sixty-one percent approved of Bushs transition.
That leaves a hefty task ahead for Trump,
who must take the stage on Friday and,
after swearing the oath, address perhaps
his largest, broadest audience to date.
Presidents typically call for unity and
common purpose.
David Axelrod, a longtime political
adviser to Obama, cast doubt on whether

that was something Trump could do. He


pointed to Trumps postelection thank
you tour that took the Republican only to
states he won.
It might not be within his emotional
range to be a unifying figure, Axelrod
said. He acknowledged that some
Democrats might resist any overtures from
Trump, though he said total resistance
would not serve his party well either.

Trump: Brexit a great thing, EU to continue to break apart


By Steve Peoples
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Wading into foreign


affairs days before his inauguration,
President-elect Donald Trump said Britains
decision to leave the European Union would
end up being a great thing and predicted
the bloc would continue to break apart.
The incoming president, in an interview

MILLBRAE A
new beginning for a
New Year.
How
many times have you
heard those around
you talking about
their New Years
resolutions and how
they plan to make a
fresh start? How many times have you
made New Years resolutions? Have you
promised yourself to be strong enough to
keep those resolutions? Have you ever told
yourself that youll have a great year by just
following through with your New Years
promise? Were these promises hard to keep
or easy to ignore? Have you ever broken a
promise to yourself? New Years Eve is a
time when promises are made in the
excitement of the moment, but sometimes
are forgotten or cast aside when laziness
takes over. Keeping a promise to yourself
should be considered no different than
keeping a promise to someone else, and
followed through with accordingly.
It takes a sense of responsibility to be
committed to a promise, and also a slight
sense of potential embarrassment. By not
following through with your commitments
you have a good possibility of being judged
poorly by those who are relying on you, in
turn causing embarrassment for yourself.
Nobody wants to be told they should be
ashamed of themselves. It is much easier to
follow through with your commitments.
Avoiding being shamed all together can lead
to a positive outcome for everyone involved.
It is a little more complicated, though,
when you are the one that youre making a
promise to. Since making a commitment to
yourself is done privately within in your

published Sunday, said European countries


are reacting to an influx of immigrants that
threaten each nations identity.
People, countries want their own identity and the U.K. wanted its own identity,
Trump said in an interview with Londons
The Sunday Times and Bild, a German newspaper.
I believe others will leave, he continued. I do think keeping it together is not
gonna be as easy as a lot of people think.

mind you have the easy option to just say


forget it without anyone knowing. It can
be a psychological struggle and a matter of
strong will-power to keep yourself
committed to your resolution.
The
temptation to just give up can be too hard
for many to resist. Picture the old cartoon
with that poor schmuck being pulled in two
directions by his conscience, an angel on
one shoulder and a devil on the other, giving
him conflicting orders. This is a very real
dilemma for someone who is having trouble
between doing the right thing for themselves
or falling back into old engrained bad habits.
Trying to better yourself can be hard. It
is much easier when you want to make a
commitment than when you have to make
a commitment. Still, the key idea is to make
yourself better. Since you are in charge of
your own situation, though, you can make
the rules. Take baby steps and lead up to
your self commitments gradually. Starting
small may work better than a big grandiose
commitment that may not be realistic.
Perhaps you can keep your resolution every
Monday, and then work your way up to a
second day and so on. Everyone handles
their commitments differently and you will
have to adjust your rules to what works best
for your type of resolution.
Responsibility is an important quality
that should not be taken lightly. A promise
to yourself can be a struggle, but if pulled
off with will-power a resolution can be a
liberating and freeing experience.

The comments largely echo Trumps rhetoric during his presidential campaign. He
helped rally white working-class voters by
railing against illegal immigration and
vowing to build a massive wall along the
border with Mexico.
Trump indicated he was indifferent to

whether the EU stays together or not, a


sharp break from the Obama administration, which encouraged Great Britain to
remain in the EU last year. The vote injected instability across the region and triggered calls for similar moves in France,
Sweden and the Netherlands. It also weakened the 28-nation blocs ability to push
back against Russian aggression in
Ukraine, among other regional challenges.

OPINION

THE DAILY JOURNAL

I have a Dream
Text of Martin Luther King Jr.s I
have a Dream speech
I am happy to join with you today
in what will go down in history as the
greatest demonstration for freedom in
the history of our nation.
Five score years ago, a great
American, in whose symbolic shadow
we stand today, signed the
Emancipation Proclamation. This
momentous decree came as a great
beacon light of hope to millions of
Negro slaves who had been seared in
the ames of withering injustice. It
came as a joyous daybreak to end the
long night of their captivity.
But one hundred years later, the
Negro still is not free. One hundred
years later, the life of the Negro is
still sadly crippled by the manacles of
segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the
Negro lives on a lonely island of
poverty in the midst of a vast ocean
of material prosperity. One hundred
years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American
society and nds himself an exile in
his own land. So we have come here
today to dramatize a shameful condition.
In a sense we have come to our
nations capital to cash a check.
When the architects of our republic
wrote the magnicent words of the
Constitution and the Declaration of
Independence, they were signing a
promissory note to which every
American was to fall heir. This note
was a promise that all men, yes, black
men as well as white men, would be
guaranteed the unalienable rights of
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
It is obvious today that America has
defaulted on this promissory note
insofar as her citizens of color are
concerned. Instead of honoring this
sacred obligation, America has given
the Negro people a bad check, a check
which has come back marked insufcient funds. But we refuse to believe
that the bank of justice is bankrupt.
We refuse to believe that there are
insufcient funds in the great vaults
of opportunity of this nation. So we
have come to cash this check a
check that will give us upon demand
the riches of freedom and the security
of justice. We have also come to this
hallowed spot to remind America of
the erce urgency of now. This is no
time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing
drug of gradualism. Now is the time to
make real the promises of democracy.
Now is the time to rise from the dark
and desolate valley of segregation to
the sunlit path of racial justice. Now
is the time to lift our nation from the
quick sands of racial injustice to the
solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the
time to make justice a reality for all
of Gods children.
It would be fatal for the nation to
overlook the urgency of the moment.
This sweltering summer of the
Negros legitimate discontent will not
pass until there is an invigorating
autumn of freedom and equality.
Nineteen sixty-three is not an end,
but a beginning. Those who hope that
the Negro needed to blow off steam
and will now be content will have a
rude awakening if the nation returns
to business as usual. There will be
neither rest nor tranquility in America
until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt
will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright
day of justice emerges.
But there is something that I must
say to my people who stand on the
warm threshold which leads into the
palace of justice. In the process of
gaining our rightful place we must not
be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not
seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom
by drinking from the cup of bitterness
and hatred.

Martin Luther King would


be proud of the wonderful
people in our community

Martin Luther King Jr.


We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and
discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we
must rise to the majestic heights of
meeting physical force with soul
force. The marvelous new militancy
which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of
all white people, for many of our
white brothers, as evidenced by their
presence here today, have come to
realize that their destiny is tied up
with our destiny. They have come to
realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot
walk alone.
As we walk, we must make the
pledge that we shall always march
ahead. We cannot turn back. There are
those who are asking the devotees of
civil rights, When will you be satised? We can never be satised as
long as the Negro is the victim of the
unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satised, as long
as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue
of travel, cannot gain lodging in the
motels of the highways and the hotels
of the cities. We cannot be satised as
long as the Negros basic mobility is
from a smaller ghetto to a larger one.
We can never be satised as long as
our children are stripped of their selfhood and robbed of their dignity by
signs stating For Whites Only. We
cannot be satised as long as a Negro
in Mississippi cannot vote and a
Negro in New York believes he has
nothing for which to vote. No, no, we
are not satised, and we will not be
satised until justice rolls down like
waters and righteousness like a
mighty stream.
I am not unmindful that some of you
have come here out of great trials and
tribulations. Some of you have come
fresh from narrow jail cells. Some of
you have come from areas where your
quest for freedom left you battered by
the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality.
You have been the veterans of creative
suffering. Continue to work with the
faith that unearned suffering is
redemptive.
Go back to Mississippi, go back to
Alabama, go back to South Carolina,
go back to Georgia, go back to
Louisiana, go back to the slums and
ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can
and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair.
I say to you today, my friends, so
even though we face the difculties of
today and tomorrow, I still have a
dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in
the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this
nation will rise up and live out the
true meaning of its creed: We hold
these truths to be self-evident: that all
men are created equal.
I have a dream that one day on the
red hills of Georgia the sons of former
slaves and the sons of former slave
owners will be able to sit down
together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the

state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will
be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little
children will one day live in a nation
where they will not be judged by the
color of their skin but by the content
of their character.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day, down in
Alabama, with its vicious racists,
with its governor having his lips
dripping with the words of interposition and nullication; one day right
there in Alabama, little black boys
and black girls will be able to join
hands with little white boys and white
girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day every
valley shall be exalted, every hill and
mountain shall be made low, the
rough places will be made plain, and
the crooked places will be made
straight, and the glory of the Lord
shall be revealed, and all esh shall
see it together.
This is our hope. This is the faith
that I go back to the South with. With
this faith we will be able to hew out
of the mountain of despair a stone of
hope. With this faith we will be able
to transform the jangling discords of
our nation into a beautiful symphony
of brotherhood. With this faith we
will be able to work together, to pray
together, to struggle together, to go
to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will
be free one day.
This will be the day when all of
Gods children will be able to sing
with a new meaning, My country,
tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of
thee I sing. Land where my fathers
died, land of the pilgrims pride, from
every mountainside, let freedom
ring.
And if America is to be a great
nation this must become true. So let
freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom
ring from the mighty mountains of
New York. Let freedom ring from the
heightening Alleghenies of
Pennsylvania!
Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado!
Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California!
But not only that; let freedom ring
from Stone Mountain of Georgia!
Let freedom ring from Lookout
Mountain of Tennessee!
Let freedom ring from every hill and
molehill of Mississippi. From every
mountainside, let freedom ring.
And when this happens, when we
allow freedom to ring, when we let it
ring from every village and every
hamlet, from every state and every
city, we will be able to speed up that
day when all of Gods children, black
men and white men, Jews and
Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics,
will be able to join hands and sing in
the words of the old Negro spiritual,
Free at last! free at last! thank God
Almighty, we are free at last!

artin Luther King was a courageous man. He


led a revolution without firing a shot. He used
his voice and not a gun to achieve his goals.
He followed in the civil disobedience non-violent tradition of Mahatma Gandhi. MLK is a great role model in
these turbulent times. But as we honor him today, lets
celebrate some of the things going on in our community
and places where people feel safe and welcome.

Some say the movies are a dying breed, but certainly
not over the holidays. On Monday, Jan. 2, the day after
New Years, it was hard to get a seat, buy a ticket or park
your car if you were headed for the movie theater in
downtown San Mateo. Fortunately, I bought tickets
ahead and left my husband off by the theater so he could
save me a seat. I sat in the car on Second Avenue for
about five minutes and several changes in traffic lights
before I could enter the
Second Avenue garage.
There was a traffic jam
there too and no empty
spots. By the time I finally found an opening by
the train station and
arrived at the theater, my
husband was standing in
the last row saying there
was only one seat left and
I should take it. Right
before the lights went out,
I spotted a place with
someones purse as the
only occupant and it
turned out that was empty
so I took it and my husband took the seat he had
been saving in the back row. Then a young man offered
to change seats so my husband and I could sit together. I
didnt realize until after the show that he had given up
sitting with his family to do this. A nice gesture from a
nice young man. Our movie theater is a friendly place for
everyone in the community. You always find someone
you know. And to think it almost didnt happen because
many residents and downtown business thought the
movie theater would destroy downtown. It actually saved
it.
***
The next day, I attended the reorganization meeting of
the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors, mainly to
witness the swearing in of the newest member Dave
Canepa. It, too, was a very crowded event. Hard to find a
place to park and hard to find a seat. I ended up sitting
outside the chambers where rows of seats had been set up
for the overflow crowd and a small TV gave you some
idea of what was going on. Each supervisor had a chance
to talk about some of the accomplishments of the year
and to compliment his/her colleagues on their achievements.
What impressed me was how much good these officials
do for the community. Supervisor Warren Slocum helped
set up a homeless shelter for vets on the VA site.
Supervisor Dave Pine has been the advocate and go-to
guy to protect us from sea level rise and has even been
invited to the Netherlands as a local expert. Supervisor
Carole Groom has worked tirelessly on The Big Lift, a
program to ensure kids can read at the proper grade level.
And Don Horsley, the new president of the board, assured
our local immigrant population that we will keep them
safe from federal witch hunts.
Canepa will be a good addition to the board. Hes
young, full of energy, and with many ideas on how to
better serve the community. Its too bad there are not
more people in Washington, D.C., like our local elected
officials. We are indeed blessed to live in California and
especially in San Mateo County.
***
I am always amazed when I check out a library book at
how many people are there. Downstairs, seniors are
checking out the Friends of the Library offerings and
relaxing on comfortable chairs. Young children are carrying piles of books to be checked out. Upstairs, students
and adults are using free computers with internet access
to do homework, find jobs and do research. Our diverse
population is well represented at the library and the
many foreign newspapers and periodicals help connect
many of our residents to their former homes.
The library serves as our community living room and
its a wonderful place to be. Again, we are lucky to live
in such a friendly and caring community. Martin Luther
King would be proud of what we do.

Oxfam says eight men


as rich as half the world
By Pan Pylas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DAVOS, Switzerland The gap between the super-rich


and the poorest half of the global population is starker
than previously thought, with just eight men, from Bill
Gates to Michael Bloomberg, owning as much wealth as
3.6 billion people, according to an analysis by Oxfam
released Monday.
Presenting its findings on the dawn of the annual gathering of the global political and business elites in the Swiss
ski resort of Davos, anti-poverty organization Oxfam says
the gap between the very rich and poor is far greater than
just a year ago. Its urging leaders to do more than pay lipservice to the problem.
If not, it warns, public anger against this kind of inequality will continue to grow and lead to more seismic political
changes akin to last years election of Donald Trump as
U.S. president and Britains vote to leave the European
Union.
It is obscene for so much wealth to be held in the hands
of so few when 1 in 10 people survive on less than $2 a
day, said Winnie Byanyima, executive director of Oxfam
International, who will be attending the meeting in Davos.
Inequality is trapping hundreds of millions in poverty; it
is fracturing our societies and undermining democracy.
The same report a year earlier had found that the richest
62 people on the planet owned as much wealth as the bottom half of the population. However, Oxfam has revised
that figure down to nine following new information gathered by Swiss bank Credit Suisse.
Oxfam used Forbes billionaires list that was last published in March 2016 to make its headline claim.
According to the Forbes list, Microsoft founder Gates is
the richest individual with a net worth of $75 billion. The
others, in order of ranking, are Amancio Ortega, the
Spanish founder of fashion house Inditex, financier Warren
Buffett, Mexican business magnate Carlos Slim Helu,
Amazon boss Jeff Bezos, Facebook creator Mark
Zuckerberg, Oracles Larry Ellison and Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York.
Oxfam outlined measures that it hopes will be enacted to
help reduce the inequality.
They include higher taxes on wealth and income to
ensure a more level playing field and to fund investments
in public services and jobs, greater cooperation among
governments on ensuring workers are paid decently and the
rich dont dodge their taxes. And business leaders should
commit to paying their fair share of taxes and a living
wage to employees.
Max Lawson, Oxfams policy adviser, urged billionaires
to do the right thing, and to do what Bill Gates has
called on them to do, which is pay their taxes.
The ability of the rich to avoid paying their fair share of
taxes was vividly exposed last year in the so-called
Panama Papers, a leaked trove of data that revealed
details on offshore accounts that helped individuals shelter
their wealth.
We have a situation where billionaires are paying less
tax often than their cleaner or their secretary, Lawson told
the Associated Press. Thats crazy.

On average, electronic waste in the 12 countries in the study had increased by nearly two thirds in the five years, totaling 12.3
million tons in 2015 alone.

Gadget mountain rising in Asia


threatens health, environment
By Stephen Wright
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JAKARTA, Indonesia The waste


from discarded electronic gadgets and
electrical appliances has reached
severe levels in East Asia, posing a
growing threat to health and the environment unless safe disposal becomes
the norm.
China was the biggest culprit with
its electronic waste more than doubling, according to a new study by the
United Nations University. But nearly
every country in the region had massive increases between 2010 and 2015,
including those least equipped to deal
with the growing mountain of discarded
smartphones, computers, TVs, air conditioners and other goods.
On average, electronic waste in the
12 countries in the study had increased
by nearly two thirds in the five years,
totaling 12.3 million tons in 2015
alone.
Rising incomes in Asia, burgeoning
populations of young adults, rapid obsolescence of products due to technological innovation and changes in fashion,
on top of illegal global trade in waste,
are among factors driving the increases.

Consumers in Asia now replace


their gadgets more frequently. In addition, many products are designed for
low cost production, but not necessarily repair, refurbishment or easy recycling, said the study. It urges governments to enact specific laws for management of electronic waste or rigorously enforce existing legislation.
Only South Korea, Taiwan and Japan
have long established recycling systems based on laws introduced in the
1990s. Open dumping of lead- and mercury-laden components, open burning
of plastics to release encased copper
and unsafe backyard operations to
extract precious metals are the norm in
most countries including Indonesia,
Thailand and Cambodia, which also
lack laws governing the treatment of
electronic and electrical waste.
The study said open burning and
unsafe recycling is associated with a
slew of health problems for workers
and communities near recycling operations They include infertility, childhood development problems, impaired
lung function, liver and kidney damage, inheritable genetic damage and
mental health problems.
Backyard recyclers are after gold, sil-

ver, palladium and copper, mainly from


printed circuit boards, but the crude acid
bath extraction process releases toxic
fumes and is also inefficient, recovering only a portion of the valuable
material.
Asia as a whole is the biggest market
for electronics and appliances,
accounting for nearly half of global
sales by volume, and produces the most
waste.
Guiyu, a heavily-polluted rural town
in China that specializes in dismantling consumer electronics, some of it
exported from rich countries, has
become synonymous with the costs of
a throwaway high-tech world.
China has cleaned up Guiyu and other
centers like it but the Basel Action
Network, which brought Guiyu to international attention, said most of the
dangerous practices continue in Guiyu
albeit concentrated within a new industrial park on its outskirts.
Ruediger Kuehr, one of the studys
authors, said the amount of waste being
generated is higher than governments
estimate, partly because of their narrower definitions, and should be a
wake-up call to policymakers and consumers.

Dubs-Cavs: Rematch Round 2


By Janie McCauley

OAKLAND When the Warriors traveled to Cleveland last January after winning the 2015 NBA title by beating the

memories there he mentioned the
chance of champagne smells still lingering in the visiting locker room all
those months later.
Obviously, walking in the locker

smells a little bit like champagne.

Understandably, that didnt go over


too well with LeBron James and Co.
Curry is surprised his comments were
taken quite so literally . He insists once
again there was no harm intended but
rather just the excitement thinking back
to the memories of winning the franchises first championship in 40 years.
I was surprised it was maybe taken
the way it was because I was because
obviously if Im thinking about that
locker room Im thinking about great
memories and celebrating with my
team, the two-time reigning MVP said
Sunday after practice. It may have

come off the wrong way but at the end of


the day it was a comment about just what
it would be like to go back to that setting. And I heard a lot of it right back at
me this summer, so its all in good fun.
Even on the golf course that was
pretty good at Lake Tahoe.
Not on his backswing. That would be
problematic for Golden States superstar.
I would have went full Happy

Archrival mauls Serra Crosby

MOUNTAIN VIEW One dreadful quarter


of basketball was Serras undoing Saturday
night against archrival St. Francis.
The Padres (2-2 in WCAL, 8-6 overall)
outscored the Lancers in all but one quarter,
but St. Francis dominated the second quarter,
closing the first half on a 20-3 run to take
down Serra 66-59 at the Schott Family Team
Center.
Decimated by injuries, St. Francis (2-2, 113) got a big-time performance from big man
Jake Mihanovic. The 6-5 senior collected a
double-double, netting 32 points and 11
rebounds while fronting a Lancers offense
that shot 44.7 percent from the field.
Hes a stud, Serra interim head coach Sean
Dugoni said. Hes a big player. Hes a
senior. And you can tell he is a senior just
cool, calm and collected. And he hit some big
shots.
The Padres opened strong, outscoring the
Lancers 14-11 with Mihanovic tallying just a
pair of free throws in the opening quarter.
Then after Serra point guard Henry James
dished to Andrew Olson for the first points of
the second quarter, Mihanovic took over. The
senior hit a pair of free throws to tie it 16-16.
Then after Serra guard Masieullah
Mohammadi hit a 3-pointer to give the
Padres a 19-16 lead their last lead of the
night Mihanovic answered with his first
field goal, a 3-pointer to set off a St. Francis
spree of 15 unanswered points to close out
the half.
We have that ability, St. Francis head
coach Mike Motil said. We have the ability
to shoot the basketball.
Serra, meanwhile, had ice-cold runs where
the ball just wouldnt fall, even with many
close-range shots reaching the cylinder only
to rattle out. The Padres shot just 34.5 percent from the floor, including an abysmal 2
of 13 in the turnaround second quarter.
They were switching everything (on
defense) and we just had too many turnovers
in the second quarter, Dugoni said. We had a
great start to the game and then we started

49ers interview Seahawks OL coach Tom Cable for head coach


By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA The San Francisco


49ers interviewed Seattle offensive line
coach and former Oakland Raiders head
coach Tom Cable for their head coaching
vacancy on Sunday.
Team CEO Jed York met with Cable as part
of his search for replacements for fired
coach Chip Kelly and general manager Trent
Baalke following a 2-14 season that tied the

worst mark in franchise


history.
Cable coached a line
that has struggled this
season in Seattle, but
has helped the Seahawks
develop a strong running
game his first five seasons with the Seahawks.
Seattle was knocked out
Tom Cable
of the playoffs Saturday
with a 36-20 loss to Atlanta.

Cable has head coaching experience, having taken over as interim coach after Lane
Kiffin was fired four games into the 2008
season in Oakland.
Cable kept the job after that and finished
with a 17-27 record in two-plus seasons. He
was fired after 2010, despite leading the
Raiders to an 8-8 record that was their best
in eight years.
Cable does come with baggage. In
Oakland, Cable was accused of punching
assistant coach Randy Hanson and breaking

his jaw during an argument in 2009. No


criminal charges were filed and a civil case
was eventually settled in arbitration.
He was also accused of domestic violence
by an ex-wife and ex-girlfriend, but was not
arrested or charged in those cases. Cable did
acknowledge to striking his first wife with
an open hand.
The 49ers have the only coach opening
left in the NFL after the other five vacancies

Lindsey Vonn reacts to the finish of Sundays downhill race in Austria.

Vonn returns for 1st time


in 11 months, takes 13th
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALTENMARKT-ZAUCHENSEE,
Austria Christine Scheyer of
Austria upset the pre-race favorites
to win a womens World Cup downhill Sunday, while Lindsey Vonn
placed 13th in her first race in
nearly 11 months.
Not being able to push out of the
start gate as usual, the American
was more than half a second off the
lead at the first split and finished
1.54 behind the Austrian.
I have a little start routine with
my poles and I couldnt really do
that with my right hand, Vonn
said. I also kind of lost grip on
my pole after the last jump.
The four-time overall champion,
who holds the womens record of
76 victories, was out nursing a
knee injury and a broken arm since
February last year. The fracture in
her right upper arm also damaged
nerves, which was still limiting
mobility of her hand.
After announcing a few days ago
that she had come to win, Vonn
still saw the positives of her
comeback race after 322 days.
All things considered its about
what I would expect, she said. I felt
like I was skiing pretty well, just
maybe not quite on the limit yet.
Vonn had three weeks left,
including speed weekends in
Germany and Italy, to find her best
form for the world championships
in St. Moritz, Switzerland.
Thats definitely a huge goal of
mine, she said. For now I am

happy. Its not really a matter of


results. Its a matter of just being
happy to be racing again. Of
course I had higher expectations

Embattled ex-wrestler Superfly Snuka dies


By Ron Rodt
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHILADELPHIA Former pro wrestler


Jimmy Superfly Snuka, who earlier this
month was found not competent to stand trial
in the 1983 death of his girlfriend, has died at
his son-in-laws home in Florida. He was 73.
Attorney Robert Kirwan II said Snuka was
taken Sunday to the home near Pompano
Beach so that he could spend his last moments
there. The family informed him shortly after 1
p.m. Sunday to say he had died, Kirwan said.
Lehigh County Judge Kelly Banach on Jan.
3 dismissed the murder case against the retired
WWE star after the defense said he had dementia, was in hospice care in Florida and had six
months to live.
Snukas daughter, Tamina Snuka, also a
WWE wrestler, tweeted Sunday afternoon: I
LOVE YOU DAD with a hashtag
(hash)RestWell.
Dwayne The Rock Johnson, also a WWE
star, called it sad news in a post on his
Twitter page.
Snuka was charged in 2015 with thirddegree murder and involuntary manslaughter
in the death of Nancy Argentino, whose body
was found more than three decades earlier in
their Whitehall Township hotel room.
Prosecutors allege she was beaten, while
Snuka maintained she died from a fall.
Authorities reopened the investigation after
The Morning Call newspaper raised questions
about the case in 2013.
Banach had first ruled last summer that
Snuka was not competent to stand trial after
his attorney argued the ex-athlete suffers from
dementia, partly due to the head trauma sustained over a long career in the ring.

Former pro wrestler Jimmy Superfly Snuka died Sunday in Florida at 73.
Prosecutors countered that Snukas brain
shows normal signs of aging and suggested he
might be feigning symptoms.
At a hearing last month to re-evaluate
Snukas mental fitness, Snukas wife told the
judge that the family struggles to keep him
from leaving home during bouts of psychosis
in which he thinks hes late for a wrestling
match. Banach then took time to review
Snukas medical records before ruling.
Kirwan said Snuka died due to complications from his ongoing medical problems.
The family is simply heartbroken. Its
been a long journey, he said. They are grateful to the judge for dismissing the charges
against him.
Snuka wrote about Argentinos death in his

2012 autobiography, maintaining his innocence and saying the episode had ruined his life.
Many terrible things have been written
about me hurting Nancy and being responsible for her death, but they are not true, he
wrote. This has been very hard on me and
very hard on my family. To this day, I get
nasty notes and threats. It hurts. I never hit
Nancy or threatened her.
Kirwan said that he believes his clients
name will eventually be cleared.
Snuka, a native of Fiji who previously lived
in Camden County, New Jersey, was known on
the wrestling circuit for diving from the ropes
and even the top of steel cages in a career that
spanned decades. He was inducted into the
WWE Hall of Fame in 1996.

ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders have


officially announced that quarterbacks
coach Todd Downing has been promoted to
offensive coordinator and Jake Peetz will be
the new quarterback coach.
News of the changes on the staff first
emerged Tuesday and the Raiders announced
the first changes to coach Jack Del Rio's staff
since he took over in 2015 on Saturday.
Oakland allowed the contracts of offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave and defensive backs coach Marcus Robertson to
expire after the team's first playoff berth in
14 years. Musgrave is now quarterbacks
coach in Denver.

early season loss to Atlanta.

Seahawks haunted by
another missed chance
By Tim Booth

Bowl worthy over an


extended period. There
were too many issues that
surfaced at various times
of the season that kept
Seattle from fully reaching its potential.
And thats what left
Baldwin and his teamDoug Baldwin mates so frustrated after
the loss to Atlanta where
those issues were exposed by the Falcons.
Whether it was the loss of standout safety
Earl Thomas to a broken leg in December, or
the struggles of the offensive line to adequately protect quarterback Russell Wilson
the Seahawks couldnt overcome their flaws.
The loss leaves Seattle in a strange position going into the offseason. The past few
years the Seahawks offseason was well
defined.
After winning the Super Bowl, the question was whether they could repeat.
After losing to New England in the title
game, it was how Seattle would respond.
And after losing to Carolina in the divisional round last season, it was acknowledging the reality of a Super Bowl hangover and
the difficulty of reaching the title game in
two straight seasons?
So whats the next step?
Seattles core group is getting older, but
has all the key pieces under contract for at
least one more season and most of them are
locked up through at least 2018.
Seattles biggest unrestricted free agents
are tight end Luke Willson and kicker Steven
Hauschka.

Serra junior Henry James drives to the hoop in the Padres 66-59 loss at St. Francis Saturday.

SERRA
Continued from page 11
panicking and taking too many bad shots.
Then it became contagious.
Much of Serras frustration stemmed from
St. Francis tenacious defense against 7-foot
center Jack Wilson. With the Padres utilizing
just two senior starters, Wilson is the only
Serra player to have previously played valuable minutes on St. Francis court.
Thats the thing, Dugoni said. Were
young. I dont want to say were inexperienced because were juniors. But were game
inexperienced this year.
Wilson went on to record a double-double
with a team-high 19 points and 10 rebounds,
however five of those rebounds came in the
opening three minutes of the game.
The Padres still outrebounded St. Francis
34-26 throughout, but the Lancers swarming
double- and triple-teams on Wilson prevented the big man from establishing any kind of
rhythm. It didnt help that the wildly physical game saw many blatant contact plays
throughout the first half go as non-calls.
With Jack, we just have to front the post
with him, Mihanovic said. Thats what we
were doing all day because we dont see many
7-footers out there. We front the post and our
backside help is always there. So I think
thats really good for our team.
Serra refused to go away though. After
opening the second half on a 7-point run,
Mihanovic responded with another rallykilling 3-pointer. But he Padres managed to
outscore the Lancers 13-10 in the third quarter, then overcame a 51-37 deficit with 6:00

to play in regulation by heating up from


beyond the arc.
They battled, Dugoni said. They could
have tapped out. Its a hostile environment.
But we battled and came back.
The Padres shot 4 of 7 from 3-point land in
the final period, with junior Colin McCarthy
coming off the bench to convert his only
points of the game on back-to-back 3s in the
final minute, closing it to a one-score differential with 25 seconds to play.
We can never give up, McCarthy said.
This is the [West Catholic Athletic League].
Anything can happen. Were a tough team.
Were going to fight all the way to the last
buzzer. And thats what we did. We didnt
get the win but it was a great comeback.
Were ready to get them next time.
St. Francis went up-tempo to swing the
advantage back to a two-score differential.
Thundering down the court, Mihanovic got
fouled on the way to the rim, hitting 1 of 2
free throws his only miss in 12 attempts
to re-up the lead to 63-59.
Serra would not find the hoop again in the
contest.
They were good, McCarthy said. We can
handle it. We know we can. On the road,
its tougher in the WCAL. But well be back.
With the win, St. Francis snaps a twogame losing streak with loses to
Bellarmine and St. Ignatius, both unbeaten
in league play to achieve a first-place tie
atop the WCAL standings while the
Lancers move into a fourth-place tie with
Serra. Mitty, at 3-1 in league, is alone in
third place.
Serra and St. Francis are slated to meet again
in San Mateo on Wednesday, Feb. 8. Yes, the
3:30 a.m. start time listed at MaxPreps.com
is a misprint. Tip-off for the Padres-Lancers
rematch is actually slated at 7:30 p.m.

RENTON, Wash. Doug Baldwin and the


Seattle Seahawks landed back home sometime around midnight as Saturday turned to
Sunday.
By 3:30 a.m. Sunday morning, Baldwin
was awake playing an NFL video game, his
way of decompressing from seeing the season end earlier than hoped for a second
straight season.
In Madden I can control everything and in
the game of life and the game of football you
cant. Its kind of like an outlet, Baldwin
said.
The Seahawks season ended likely where
it should have with a 36-20 loss to Atlanta in
the NFC divisional round on Saturday.
They were a talented, yet flawed team that
simply couldnt overcome a season-long
pattern of inconsistency and some key
injuries that exposed a number of Seattles
shortcomings.
So while there was a healthy dose of optimism as players cleaned out their lockers on
Sunday, there was also the reality that
Seattles core group is aging and its opportunity to reach another Super Bowl with this
unit could be waning.
The Seahawks lost on the road in the divisional round of playoffs for the fourth time
under Pete Carroll.
Its been an unprecedented run of success
for the franchise, yet unfulfilling the past
two years after falling short of getting back
to a Super Bowl.
This Seattle team never appeared Super

JOHANNESBURG One tournament into the new year, Rory McIlroy


is going for tests on his back Monday
to make sure he is fit enough to play
Abu Dhabi without further damage.
McIlroy felt pain in his back before
the second round of
the South African
Open, and it lingered throughout
the final round,
where he closed
with a 67 and lost in
a playoff to Graeme
Storm.
McIlroy was flyRory McIlroy ing to Dubai on
Sunday and said he would have an MRI
just to see whats up with this joint in
my back.
Its OK, McIlroy said on the
European Tours website. It was manageable this week. Im taped up and
Ive got a few pills in me and Im fine.
But first and foremost, thats the most
important thing, to get fit and healthy
again. And hopefully, Ill be all right
to play next week.
The runner-up finish looks to be
enough for McIlroy to have a chance to
return to No. 1 in the world if he were
to win the Abu Dhabi HSBC
Championship, which in recent years
has been the strongest field of the year
among regular European Tour events.
Dustin Johnson, Henrik Stenson and
Rickie Fowler are among those playing.

HONOLULU Challenged only by


the record book, Justin Thomas won
the Sony Open on Sunday with the
lowest 72-hole score in PGA Tour history.
Thomas capped off his wonderful
week at Waialae that began with a 59
with his second straight victory. He
two-putted birdie from 60 feet on the
par-5 18th and closed with a 5-under
65 to set the record at 253.
Tommy Armour III shot 254 at the
2003 Texas Open.
Its been an unbelievable week.
Unforgettable, Thomas said before
going to sign his historic card.

The 23-year-old from Kentucky won


at Kapalua last week by three shots,
then destroyed the full field at the
Sony Open to win by seven shots.
Thomas is the first player since Tiger
Woods in 2009 (Buick Open and
Bridgestone Invitational) to win backto-back weeks by three shots or more.
Justin Rose closed with a 64 to finish alone in second. Jordan Spieth was
third after a 63.
The first full-field event of the year
on the PGA Tour was a one-man show.
Thomas joined Ernie Els in 2003 as
the only players to sweep Hawaii, and
this performance might have been
even better. Thomas was 49-under par
for his two weeks, compared with Els
at 47 under.

game. You can talk trash all you want to.
Currys words carried some weight: He scored 35 points in
three quarters of that 132-98 rout back in Cleveland a year ago .
Now, the champion Cavaliers get their chance not that
theyre treating Monday nights much-anticipated rematch at
Oracle Arena as make-or-break. Not in mid-January, anyway.
We dont look at it as a rivalry, James said. Theyre a great
team. Theyve been the best team in the league the past couple
of years, the last three years. We just want to get better.
OK, King James.
Kyrie Irving has hit the game-winning shot in the final seconds the past two matchups.
Two teams that went to the Finals back-to-back years and
split, I would consider it a rivalry, Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said.
Golden State certainly knows how meaningful this one will
be in Clevelands first visit to Oracle Arena since rallying from
a 3-1 deficit to stun the 73-win Warriors in Game 7 of the NBA
Finals on their home floor and deny them a repeat title.
Then, they squandered a 14-point lead to lose 109-108 on
Christmas Day in Cleveland, and Golden State wasnt even as
upset about the NBA saying the referees missed two key calls as
it was about the uncharacteristic late-game collapse.
After that, Curry committed to being more aggressive considering he took just 11 shots and made four for 15 points. He and
Kevin Durant are playing more together of late, too.
This time, they play again in a spotlight game on Martin
Luther King Jr. Day.
You want to give it all youve got each and every time you
step on the floor but thats just not realistic. But there are certain
games that you want to get up more so than others, Golden
States Draymond Green said Sunday. I think thats at any level
of basketball.
As Cleveland incorporates newcomer Kyle Korver after
acquiring him from Atlanta, the Warriors also are still finding
their way.
I know the talk around us is we have this super team and we
have 12 superstars on one team, Durant said. I hear that all the
time. But this is an adjustment.
A day after the loss at Cleveland last month, the NBA said that
James should have received a technical for hanging on the rim
with 1:43 to play and that Richard Jefferson fouled Durant on
the games final play. That prompted Durant to call on the
league to ditch the Last Two Minute Report altogether .
Golden State will have had three days off to get ready for the
rematch.
Weve got perspective on it, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said
Sunday. Its a good gauge for us. Obviously its a great rivalry.
Were looking forward to the game just as Im sure they are.
What it means long-term, probably not a whole lot. Its a good
matchup and a team that beat us last year in the Finals, so, yeah,
it means something.

Hidden Figures keeps orbit at top


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Labors of love, one


from Martin Scorsese, the other from
Ben Affleck, proved costly at a casualty strewn weekend box office where
the uplifting NASA drama Hidden
Figures stayed on top for the second
straight week.
Hidden Figures, about AfricanAmerican mathematicians in the
1960s space race, sold a leading $20.5
million in tickets in North American
theaters over the Martin Luther King
Jr. Day holiday weekend, according to
estimates Sunday. Fox anticipates the
film, starring Taraji P. Henson,
Octavia Spencer and Janelle Monae,
will make $25. 3 million when
Monday is included, bringing its
cumulative total to about $60 million.
The weekend was more remarkable
for what didnt work than what did.
Both Afflecks period gangster thriller
Live by Night and Scorseses
Christian epic Silence bombed in
their wide-release debuts. Warner
Bros. Live by Night, adapted from
Dennis Lehanes novel, earned a mere
$5. 4 million in 2, 471 theaters.
Paramounts Silence, from Susaku
Endos novel of 17th century Jesuit
priests in Japan, took in $1.9 million

Top 10 movies
1.Hidden Figures, $20.5 million.
2. La La Land, $14.5 million ($17.8

3.Sing, $13.8 million ($13.2 million

in 747 theaters.
Both were high-profile projects that
each filmmaker used their considerable
sway to get made.
Live by Night was Afflecks directorial follow-up to the best-picture
winning Argo. Written, directed and
starring Affleck, it cost $90 million to
make, though rebates and tax incentives lowered its budget to $65 million. But critics said Live by Night

was a step backward for Affleck, who


spent much of his publicity campaign
fending off questions about his plans
to direct a stand-alone Batman film for
Warner Bros. The studio, which
declined to comment Sunday, estimates Live by Night will make $6.7
million over the four-day weekend.
The epitome of a passion project,
Silence, which Scorsese contemplated for nearly three decades, represents a culmination of the directors
investigations into the nature of faith.
While the film, starring Andrew
Garfield and Liam Neeson, earned considerable respect from some critics, it
failed to catch on in Hollywoods
awards season.
Its gotten great reviews and its
Martys passion project, so were
proud to be a part of it, and were going
to keep putting it out there in front of
audiences, said Kyle Davies,
Paramounts domestic distribution
chief.
Silence, never conceived as a particularly commercial release, cost
about $50 million to make. The studio
expects it to earn $2.3 million over
the four-day weekend.

trangers often asked about Archie what is he? certain my handsome mutt was some rare breed. I once
answered, completely straight-faced, Lithuanian
Water Collie which earned the following response: Oh! I
read about them online! But how reliable is the internets
animal info?
According to the always accurate Internet: Israeli scientists are examining what appears to be a trans-species
between a Labrador retriever and human. While genetically
considered impossible, human workers found remains of an
earlier trans-species, believed to be the parent of the animal
buried in the owners property.
DNA studies are in process. So
while it must be true because,
remember, its from the internet,
its not.
According to the completely
factual internet: An 85-year-old
woman in Waco, Texas, has been
arrested on suspicion of making
fur coats from local cats that she
had kidnapped. Horrific, less far
far-fetched, but also not true. Its
as untrue as the internet cat stoKen WHITE
ries about Snowball the 87pound cat from Chalk River, Canada (But there are photos,
lots of them? How can it be fake? Ever see Jurassic Park?).
According to the internet, which always gets it right, one
can cure cat allergies by drinking cat urine (start with small
amounts and build up over time), packs of wild dogs have been
roaming through a quite a few inner cities eviscerating small
children and Elvis is not only still alive but breeding parakeets in a shed outside Las Vegas (Can you pick which of these
really did show up on the net? You might be surprised!).
Bottom line: The internet serves many positive purposes
but there are many things it is not. It is not an always reliable source of information about animals. It is not an always
useful place for evaluating animal-related charities. And it is
not a great place to find your next animal. For some things,
even in todays world, old school is still the best approach.

permitting agencies at all levels of government.
The project also involves balancing a variety of objectives from preserving the Bay
Trails recreational value to meeting Federal
Emergency Management Agency requirements to raise the levee or have those with
federally-backed mortgages become subject
to costly flood insurance.
Last year, FEMA released a new map putting
the Bayfront community into the flood zone
and questioned the sufficiency of the levee
that protects 9,000 Foster City properties
and another 8,000 in San Mateo. The existing levee ranges from 12 feet to 13 feet and

FEMAs highest requirement is for it to be


raised to 16 feet in certain areas.
The project was prompted by FEMAs
action, but councilmembers are also considering it as an opportunity to address future sea
level rise predictions. One option the council
may consider is whether to raise the levee
even higher than FEMAs minimum to accommodate future conditions in 2050 or 2100.
We have this whole issue of rising sea levels so we looked at a variety of means and
methods, then were going to look at cost as
to whether we want to make our levees higher
now, or build in such a way that we can raise
them later, said Mayor Charlie Bronitsky.
Its probably one of, if not the largest projects well have here in Foster City for a
while.
As part of the process, city officials conducted an environmental review of the various
project options. Thus far, the council has
expressed an interest in a hybrid model,
which 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.
Aside from the hybrid model, the report
also analyzed other options such as not building, creating a horizontal levee and whats
known as a FEMA freeboard alternative that
essentially is the lowest height they could go

to meet the agencys requirements, according


to the report.
Banks said the report evaluates various
impacts and doesnt make specific recommendations. He did note that the horizontal
levee was found to need enough clean fill to
cover nearly 100 acres along the Bayfront
a very challenging option.
The report considered a range of impacts
such as aesthetics, air quality, biological
resources, cultural resources, geology and
soils, greenhouse gas emissions, hazardous
materials, hydrology and water quality, land
use, noise, traffic and recreation. The only
two significant and unavoidable impacts
found were construction impacts such as
noise, and that the levee would affect the
views of properties, according to the report.
Cost estimates have already jumped from an
initial range of $35 million to $65 million
last year to a preliminary $75 million estimate. The city will also evaluate different
financing options, which may include taxing
property owners through an assessment district.
The public comment period on the draft
environmental impact report closed Thursday
but people can speak during the commissions meeting Thursday. After gathering
feedback, a response document will be prepared before the commission reconsiders

making a recommendation to the City


Council on certifying the report, likely in the
coming months, Banks said.
The city has received comments from a few
members of the public as well as the variety
of regulatory agencies that must approve the
project, Banks said.
Aside from FEMA, other agencies weighing in include Caltrans, the California State
Lands Commission, the San Francisco Bay
Conservation and Development Commission
and others. Bronitsky said hes confident
theyre on the right track and noted the city
gathered many of the permitting agencies in
advance to discuss concerns early on and get
them involved. Whether its the permitting
agencies or members of the public, many may
have different priorities for the levee such as
avoiding flood insurance mandates or promoting recreation.
Some of them have competing issues, but
well work with them all, Bronitsky said,
adding with a project of this scale, Im sure
theres impacts, its just the nature of the
beast and well do our best to mitigate those
impacts.

In the nonprofit world, we say no money, no


mission. It all comes back to how are we
going to fund what were going to do. We
dont have unlimited resources, Cleary said.
Like many affected by the presidential election, Cleary noted a big challenge is the
futures uncertainty. But one thing is for sure
Peninsula Family Service clients often
struggle with transportation and housing,
she said.
I think everybody in this county, regardless of your income, is feeling some of the
issues weve got around here, Cleary said.
In many ways, addressing these problems
comes down to financial empowerment and
education whether its a single father who
needs help buying a car that enables him to
shop for healthier food at a grocery store, or
an older woman who participates in a lending
circle to raise her credit score, Cleary said.
Financial empowerment is to really help

[clients] develop stability in their finances


so they can develop stability in their life,
Cleary said. Its one of the biggest skills
that isnt taught anywhere. Its not taught in
schools and a lot of the people we serve didnt have positive role models to teach them
these skills. So we come in as a secondary
resource.
While well versed in financial literacy,
Cleary said she has a personal affinity for the
agencys work with children.
As a mother of two children who are in the
school district here, I really appreciate early
learning. I certainly saw in kindergarten
when my kids were there, the people who
started out behind, who didnt have any preschool background, they werent able to keep
up, Cleary said. I truly believe that early
learning is necessary and it starts at age 0.
Basically I fall to brain development science,
that most of the brain is formed by age 3 so
you really need to be focused on working with
your child.
Serving nearly 500 children a year, the
nonprofit runs preschool and early learning
programs at its downtown San Mateo headquarters as well as several other sites across
four counties.
Established almost 70 years ago, the nonprofit has grown significantly. Today, it

employs nearly 150 people and has an annual $12 million budget which relies on
donations, grants and contracts with the
county, Cleary said.
The East Bay native, who has lived in San
Mateo since the 1990s, took the helm after
her predecessor retired last year. Croce, who
spent 18 years as San Mateos city manager,
led Peninsula Family Service for nearly four
years and said hes pleased to have Cleary carrying on the torch.
Planning to relocate to Santa Cruz County,
where he and his wife are natives, Croce said
hes proud of the stability Peninsula Family
Service has achieved and understands why
passionate people chose to work there.
Definitely the mission in terms of who the
organization serves. It really serves vulnerable people in our community, it provides
services in a way that helps people not only
get stable, but go beyond stability, Croce
said. I think Heather and the other leadership
team will continue to move the organization
forward and serve more people and improve
the quality of life for many individuals.

The Planning Commission meets 7 p.m.

Nowhere left to run away to:


The final days of the circus
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SARASOTA, Fla. Goodbye to death-defying feats


daring young men (and women) on the flying trapeze, whipwielding lion tamers, human cannonballs. Goodbye to the
scent of peanuts and popcorn, the thrill of three rings, the
jaunty bum-bum-dadadada of circus music.
Send out the clowns. The Big Top is coming down for
good.
On Saturday, officials of the company that owns the
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus announced that
it will close in May, ending a 146-year run that dates back
to a time before automobiles or airplanes or movies, when
Ulysses S. Grant was president and minstrel shows were
popular entertainment.
What killed the circus? There are many suspects:
increased railroad costs. Costly court battles with animal
rights activists that led to an end to elephant acts and the
fact that some people didnt want to see a show without elephants.
But mostly, in an era of Pokemon Go, online role playing
games and YouTube celebrities, the Greatest Show on
Earth doesnt seem so great.
Its been through world wars, and its been through every
kind of economic cycle and its been through a lot of
change, said Kenneth Feld, chairman and CEO of Feld
Entertainment, owner of the Ringling Bros. In the past
decade theres been more change in the world than in the 50
or 75 years prior to that. And I think it isnt relevant to people in the same way.

where building requirements are defined
by downtown zoning standards which
allows eight-story buildings. Projects
proposed on other parts of the corridor
may use other zoning standards which
allow up to six stories. Chan said placing activity nodes, or clusters of retail
buildings, along the corridor is one
idea community members have considered as a way to visit multiple stores or
residences within a walkable distance.
Chan is encouraged by the publics
response. So far, she has coordinated
two meetings of the 10-member
Citizens Advisory Group organized to
provide guidance at multiple stages of
the planning process, as well stakeholder interview sessions and one community workshop.
This is a plan that has a broad
impact, and the interest has been
wide, she said.

Workshops
Chan is currently preparing for
another Citizens Advisory Group meeting, where options addressing key concerns raised at last years meetings will
be discussed. Among the key concerns
are increased traffic and congestion
along the corridor, pedestrian and
cyclist safety and a need for increased
focus on the corridors aesthetic qualities, though Chan said none have been
formally adopted by the city or committee as a focus point. Chan is also
planning several other interactive
community workshops, where residents can map their vision of the corridor, and for mid-winter distribution of
an online resident feedback survey.
The variety of perspectives gathered
for these initial stages of the planning
process is indicative of the complicated road that lies ahead as Chan and
other city staff members work toward a
comprehensive plan that the City
Council and Planning Commission can
review. Portions of Redwood Citys El
Camino Real Corridor Plan overlap

Downtown Precise Plan, which outline
housing and zoning guidelines for the
citys future developments. These
efforts are also aligned with the Grand
Boulevard Initiative, a regional effort
to improve the thoroughfare connecting cities across San Mateo and Santa
Clara counties. Still, Chan said the
plan will be specific to the Redwood
City community and its needs.

Community input
Roger Buckhout, a 35-year resident
of Redwood City and architect project
planner, is one of the 10 residents
appointed to the Citizen Advisory
Group. For Buckhout, the opportunity
to share his thoughts at multiple stages
of the planning process allows him to
leverage his professional experience
in a city he has seen develop from a
sleepy town to a destination city.
I think El Camino is a great historical path and it deserves respect and
deserves really careful thought on how
its going to be developed on uses, he
said. The kinds of problems I see on El
Camino Real are the kinds of problems
that come out of growth, come out of
change.
Many of the architectural projects
Buckhout has worked on have focused
on leveraging multi-storage structures
on major university and corporate campuses to increase green space and
mobility at the surface. By contrast,
Buckhout notes that developing the El
Camino Real Corridor Plan involves
several other moving parts, largely
transit and traffic that passes through
the area without stopping.
Business owners like Massoud
Badakhshan are watching the plans
potential to affect available street
parking most closely. For two years,
Badakhshan has owned Gelb Music at
722 El Camino Real, between Brewster
Avenue and Broadway. He attended one
of the stakeholder interview sessions
in September. After, he said he worries
the plan may include reductions to
street parking to accommodate wider
sidewalks or more bike lanes, options
that others have suggested.
starring Ryan Gosling and Emma
Stone, saw a considerable boost from
last Sundays Golden Globes, where it
landed a record seven awards. It has
made $74.1 million domestically in
six weeks. Its also doing well internationally, earning more than $50
million.
The surprise success was the supernatural thriller The Bye Bye Man,
from STX Entertainment. With some
help from Friday the 13th on the calendar, the low-budget horror flick
made $13.4 million.
Peter Bergs Boston Marathon
bombing docudrama, Patriots Day,
took in a so-so $12 million in its

Its hard to run a free-standing business without parking, he said.


In recent months, the street parking
in front of Badakhshans store was
reduced to one spot from two for a bus
stop. He worries the streetscape
changes may include reduced parking.
When they take away our on-street
parking, we cant really invite customers to come here, said
Badakhshan.
Emma Shlaes, policy manager at the
Silicon Valley Bike Coalition, also
attended a stakeholder interview session in the fall. She has worked with
cities across Santa Clara and San Mateo
counties to coordinate similar efforts
to enhance multi-modal traffic flow and
increase commuter safety along El
Camino Real, which the Bike
Coalition has identified as the one
major north-south thoroughfare upon
which Peninsula cyclists can rely.
Shlaes and her team hope the city will
consider a protected bike lane on both
sides of El Camino Real along with
aesthetic upgrades, such as larger curbs
and planters, which she calls trafficcalming devices. For Shlaes, Redwood
Citys size and central location within
the corridor means its next steps may
serve as a model for others.
I think whatever Redwood City does
decide to do, it will inform what others
do, she said. It will set an example.
Chan said that the city is working
toward developing a plan that can go
before the Planning Commission some
time this summer. But right now, she
wants residents to know their input is
still very much needed.
Now is the time to get involved in
the transformation of the corridor
plan, said Chan. Its these early plan
efforts that help to shape the corridor.

Kremlin counts
days to Trumps
inauguration
By Vladimir Isachenkov
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MOSCOW Exulted by Donald


Trumps victory in the U.S., the
Kremlin is counting the days to
his inauguration and venting its
anger at Barack Obamas outgoing
administration, no holds barred.
Careful not to hurt chances for a
thaw in U. S. -Russia relations,
President Vladimir Putin and other
Russian officials have deferred
questions about their plans for
future contacts with Trump and any
agenda for those talks until he
takes office on Friday.
Trumps open admiration of
Putin has brought wide expectations of improved MoscowWashington relations, but Trump
has not articulated a clear Russia
policy. His Cabinet nominees
include both a retired general with

a
hawkish
stance
on
Russia and an
oil executive
who has done
extensive business in Russia.
At the same
time, Russian
are
Barack Obama officials
blasting
the
outgoing U.S. administration in
distinctly undiplomatic language,
dropping all decorum after Obama
hit Moscow with more sanctions
in his final weeks in office.
Moscow calls Obamas team a
bunch of geopolitical losers
engaged in a last-ditch effort to
inflict the maximum possible
damage to U. S. -Russia ties to
make it more difficult for Trump to
mend the rift.
In a clear effort to avoid risking

a rapprochement with Trump,
Putin showed a remarkable
restraint when the U.S. expelled
35 Russian diplomats over accusations of meddling in the U.S. election campaign. Instead of a usual
tit-for-tat response, Putin invited
U.S. diplomats children to a New
Years party at the Kremlin.
Trumps national security adviser, Michael Flynn, and Russias
ambassador to the U.S. were in frequent contact in recent weeks,
including on Dec. 29, the day
Obama hit Moscow with sanc-

tions in retaliation for electionrelated hacking, according to a


senior U.S. official. That call and
others suggest that the incoming
administration is already laying
the groundwork for a possible
thaw with Moscow.
Moscow similarly refrained
from retaliation when the White
House last week added five
Russians, including the chief of
Russias top state investigative
agency, to the U.S. sanctions list.
While Putin and his lieutenants
hope Trump will open up to

Russia, they know any attempt to


fix ties will face massive obstacles, including possible strong
resistance in the U.S. Congress.
Any future contacts will have
to be prepared quite accurately and
thoroughly, as they would follow
a tense period, Putin spokesman
Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
Fyodor Lukyanov, chair of the
Council for Foreign and Defense
Policies, a group of Russian foreign policy experts, said Syria is
one area where a U.S.-Russian rapport is likely.
