City wants landscapes to be drought tolerant

San Mateo Planning, Sustainability commissions to discuss conservation, greenhouse gasses
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

To promote water conservation

in new landscaping, San Mateo
Sustainability Commission will
be taking one of its first formal

actions since it was formed in

February in recommending the
City Council implement new mandates to counter the drought and
establish long-term water savings.
Despite the city adhering to the

California Water Conservation

Landscaping Act since 2010, the
Sustainability and the Planning
commissions will meet Tuesday to
discuss imposing more restrictive
rules for new developments or
rehabilitated landscapes of 1,000

square feet or larger, according to a

city staff report.
The joint-study session will also
include a review of the citys draft
Climate Action Plan, which identifies measures and strategies for
reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Developers have been abiding

by the states mandate for several
years and the newly created
Sustainability Commission is
working to ensure the citys code

Gov. Jerry Brown, left, takes a historic fourth oath of office as governor with wife Anne Gust Brown at his
inauguration in Sacramento.

SACRAMENTO As he was
sworn in for a record fourth term,
Gov. Jerry Brown charted an ambitious new goal on Monday for
California in its fight against climate change, challenging the
nations most populous state to
increase renewable energy use to
50 percent in the next 15 years.
Brown, a Democrat, specifically
called for the state to increase
renewable electricity sources,
reduce petroleum use in vehicles,
double the energy efficiency of
existing buildings and make heating fuels cleaner by 2030.
California already is known as a
leader in far-reaching environmental laws, but Brown said existing
efforts were not enough.
The current state goal calls for
33 percent of energy use to come
from renewable sources by 2020.

San Mateo County launches new

commemorative table program
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

San Mateo Countys park system is

offering a new way to acknowledge individuals and groups by expanding its popular commemorative bench program to
include picnic tables.
It honors either the living or commemorates the deceased and is a wonderful
way for county parks to connect with the
co mmun i t y i n a di fferen t way, s ai d
Cecily Harris, development consultant
with San Mateo County Parks.
In the last 20 years, the parks department has dedicated approximately 124
commemorative benches throughout its
19 parks and miles of regional trails,
Harris said. The picnic table program is a
way t o acco mmo dat e t h e n umb er o f
requests for dedicated space and also provide a symbol for individuals or groups
whose connection to the park might be
more in line with camping or outdoor
meals.
We thought gosh, some people like
benches and others have more history
with tables, Harris said.
Harri s s ai d h er dep art men t fi el ds
inquiries from people looking for commemorative options other than benches
a gazebo or overlook, perhaps
which helped spark the expansion. Also,
the county parks system has expanded to
include more places such as Friendship

www.smdailyjournal.com
Park in North Fair Oaks and Devils Slide
which provides more opportunity.
Like the bench program, a picnic table
dedication requires a $5, 000 donation to
the table, a plaque and 10 years of maintenance. After the decade, those who made
the donation can choose to rededicate or
let it go for somebody else.
The tables come in two forms concrete or wood with a metal frame. The concrete tables are better suited for areas with
a lot of salt and wind but its maintenance
o ft en i n cl udes g raffi t i remo v al . Th e
wooden tables are for more wilderness
areas like Woodside or Pescadero and the
maintenance includes replacing the wooden b o ards as n eces s ary. Mai n t en an ce
costs also include keeping the overall
site clean and brushing back any vegetation.
The tables, either accessible or nonaccessible, are installed in sites on an
approved list of drop-in, group picnic,
youth camp or picnic shelter locations
compiled by San Mateo County Parks.
After those interested first contact the
parks department, they will do a site visit
with a ranger and talk about orientation.
Fro m p urch as e t o i n s t al l at i o n , t h e

process can take a few weeks if a table is

in stock but averages about six weeks to
order the plaque and, in the case of concrete tables, have one poured. If a memorial event is planned, Harris said the
department does its best to work with the
schedule.
While the commemorative programs
g i v e i n di v i dual s an d g ro up s way s t o
honor their friends, family, colleagues or
cherished group, Harris said she and the
rest of the parks staff also benefit.
Sometimes its a tragedy. Sometimes
its someone elderly who passes, Harris
said. Each one is kind of a story.
Harris said there were three new bench
dedications alone in the last weeks of
December. One was a longtime windsurfer
who passed, she said. His loved ones dedicated a bench at Coyote Point in his
honor.
The parks system has been here 90
years. Its fun for us to hear the stories
about the people that [the benches and
tables] are dedicated to and the memories
like, my grandfather took me camping or
hiking here, Harris said.

Attempted South City cop

shooting suspect in court
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The 23-year-old South San Francisco man

who allegedly sparked a seven-hour manhunt on New Years Day after officers
responded to reports of shots was probably
firing a gun for the holiday and not directly
at the cops, according to his defense attorney.
But prosecutors contend that while Ivan
DeJesus Gomez may have initially been
shooting in celebration, he deliberately
opened fire on the officers from a hiding
place during the search.
Gomez was on probation at the time for a
September 2014 conviction of possessing
marijuana for sale which may have played a
role in his actions, District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe said.
Wagstaffes office charged Gomez with
five felonies: two counts of premeditated
attempted murder, two counts of felony
assault on a police officer using a firearm
and one felony count of firearm possession
by a convicted felon.
The attempted murder charges can carry up
to 15 years to life on each count, Wagstaffe
said.
At his initial arraignment, Gomez pleaded
not guilty to all charges and scheduled a
Jan. 26 preliminary hearing.
South San Francisco police encountered
Gomez after responding to calls of shots
fired around 3 a.m. on the 600 block of First
Lane. As the officers searched for a suspect,
Gomez allegedly shot at them from a hiding
place and fled on foot toward Spruce Avenue

when they returned fire,

according to South San
Francisco police.
Multiple law enforcement agencies joined the
search as residents of the
600
block
of
Commercial Avenue, the
600 block of Railroad
Avenue and the 600
Ivan Gomez block of First Lane
between Magnolia and
Orange avenues sheltered in place.
Police found and arrested Gomez around
10:30 a.m. a short distance away. Police
also recovered a semi-automatic handgun.
Defense attorney Michael Sganga said
hes still going through the evidence but
doubts very seriously his client purposely
tried to hurt anybody.
Hes not crazy. Hes a young kid with one
prior conviction and no reason to do anything like this, Sganga said.
He said the South San Francisco police
were likely frightened by the sound of shots
and may have misunderstood the situation.
Gomezs Jan. 1 arrest came two days
before he was scheduled to surrender to the
county jail to begin serving 60 days on the
earlier drug conviction. He was charged
with a probation violation Monday morning and his current incarceration counts as
his term in the drug case, Wagstaffe said.

Three arrested in connection

with strong-arm robbery
Three men were arrested in connection
with the theft of a womans purse at a San
Mateo shopping center Sunday and
Belmont police believe they may be linked
to a similar strong-arm robbery earlier in
the day.
Jose Gomez, a 21-year-old Redwood City
resident, was arrested for stealing a 58-yearold Foster City womans purse at the
Bridgepointe Shopping Center around 7:30
p.m., according to San Mateo police.
The victim struggled with Gomez and was
ultimately knocked to the ground. Gomez
got into a black Mercedes-Benz waiting
nearby and alert witnesses were able to provide a license plate number, according to
San Mateo police.
Gomez, along with Edgar Garcia, 24, and
Vincente Chavez, 18, were eventually
caught in an alley off Rolison Road by
Redwood City police. A search of the vehicle recovered various items from the stolen
purse and all three were arrested, according
to San Mateo police.
Belmont police are investigating a similar crime that happened around 6 p. m.
Sunday, during which a 60-year-old woman
was approached by two Hispanic males in
their 20s. The woman was walking on the
900 block of Emmett Avenue near the
Safeway when two men snatched her purse.

Local briefs
The woman screamed and attempted to chase
the men but lost sight as they fled on Sixth
Avenue, according to Belmont police.
One of the men was last seen wearing a
black beanie and black jacket while the
other wore a gray jacket.
Anyone with information is asked to call
Belmont police at (650) 595-7400 or the
tip line at (650) 598-3000.

Pedestrian hit by car in crosswalk

A pedestrian was struck by a vehicle in
Redwood City Monday afternoon while
walking in a crosswalk.
The incident occurred on Stambaugh
Street near Chestnut Street and was first
reported around 12:45 p.m.
The victim was taken to a hospital to be
treated for injuries that are not considered
life-threatening, Redwood City police Lt.
Sean Hart said.
Hart said the driver cooperated with
investigators and drugs or alcohol are not
believed to be factors in the collision.
Stambaugh Street was temporarily closed
while authorities responded to the scene,
but Hart said the road has since reopened.

Boehner in line for third term

as speaker; GOP readies agenda
By David Espo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON House Speaker

John Boehners prospects for a new
term appeared secure Monday despite
grumblings from tea party-aligned dissidents on the eve of a Republican
takeover of Congress, while GOP leaders in both houses pointed toward a
swift veto showdown with President
Barack Obama over the long-stalled
Keystone XL pipeline.
Senate Republicans, winners of a
majority in last falls elections, began
laying down markers for legislative
battles ahead. Tax reform should not
be used as an excuse to raise taxes on
the American people, wrote Sen.
Orrin Hatch of Utah, who will become
chairman of the tax-writing Senate
Finance Committee. Any such effort
is a needless distraction, he added,
pointedly rejecting a long-held view
of the White House and many
Democrats.
Tax reform was a distant target as
congressional veterans and newcomers
alike looked ahead to a day of pomp and
ceremony beneath the Capitol Dome.
Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnells
ascension Tuesday to the post of
Senate majority leader was automatic
following his approval by rank-andfile Republicans late last year.
That wasnt the case in the House,
where the election of a speaker is the
main event on any opening days agenda. Reps. Louie Gohmert of Texas and
Ted Yoho of Florida put themselves forward as challengers, and the Tea Party

REUTERS

John Boehner is widely expected to retain the top job in the chamber when the
full House votes on Tuesday.
Patriots tweeted out a request for rank
and file Republicans to support one or
the other.
Roughly a dozen Republicans have
announced they
will
oppose
Boehners election, but that was far
short of the number needed to place
his election in jeopardy. One lawmaker, Rep. Lou Barletta of Pennsylvania,
said Boehner deserves a chance to
try and pass a conservative agenda in
cooperation with the Senate under

Republican control.
The speakers spokesman, Michael
Steel, said Boehner was selected as the
House Republican Conferences choice
for speaker in November, and he
expects to be elected by the whole
House this week.
Nor did any of the rebels predict they
would succeed in toppling the 65-yearold Ohioan. Instead, they said the current high command wasnt conservative enough.

Miami judge who overturned ban weds gays and lesbians

By Curt Anderson and Tamara Lush
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIAMI Lesbian and gay couples

were wed in Miami on Monday by the
same judge who approved their marriage licenses, hours before Floridas
coming-out party as the nations 36th
state where same-sex marriages are
now legal statewide.
The addition of Floridas 19.9 million people means 70 percent of

Americans now live in states where

gay marriage is legal.
The cheers in the courthouse reflect
how much of the nations third-largest
state has changed since the 1970s,
when Anita Bryant, the former beauty
pageant queen and orange juice
spokeswoman, started her national
campaign against gay rights in
Miami.
Its been a long time coming, said
Cathy Pareto, who wed Karla Arguello,

her partner of 15 years. Finally

Florida recognizes us as a couple. Its
just -- I dont know, sweet justice.
Although same-sex marriage is now
reality in Florida, Attorney General
Pam Bondi is still pursuing appeals at
both the federal and state levels. Her
position shared by former Florida
Gov. Jeb Bush, now considering a
Republican run for president has
been that marriage should be defined
by each state.

Feinstein urges changes
to avoid repeat of CIA torture
WASHINGTON The outgoing chairman of the Senate
intelligence committee is urging a series of policy and
legislative changes to ensure that the
U.S. government never again tortures
detainees, even as polls show that a
majority of Americans believe harsh
CIA interrogations after 9/11 were justified.
Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of
California presided over a five-year
investigation that resulted in last
months release of parts of a report that
Dianne
harshly described the CIA practice of
Feinstein
torture against terror detainees after the
Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. The 525-page executive summary
cited the CIAs own documents in finding that the
agencys interrogation program was more brutal than previously understood and failed to produce unique intelligence that couldnt have been obtained through traditional methods.
President Barack Obama has called the practices torture,
something former CIA officials dispute. The executive
summary of the Senate report, written by Feinstein staff
members, documents CIA mismanagement and misrepresentations, some of which the agency has acknowledged.

Petco pulls Chinese treats

amid fears they sickened pets
LOS ANGELES Petco said Monday it has removed all
remaining Chinese-made dog and cat treats from its website and stores nationwide because of concerns they have
sickened thousands of pets and killed 1,000 dogs in the
U.S. since 2007.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says initial
tests have not connected the Chinese jerky and rawhide
treats to the illnesses, but the San Diego-based company
and its rival PetSmart vowed in May to ban the snacks.
Petco is the first national pet retailer to pull the treats
from its 1,300 stores. Phoenix-based PetSmart Inc. said
Monday that it plans to have them off shelves at its
roughly 1,300 stores by March.
The FDA targeted the treats after receiving more than
4,800 complaints of pet illnesses, including the deaths,
after pets ate chicken, duck or sweet potato jerky treats
from China. Tests have not confirmed any connection,
but the agency is still investigating.

Mexico scandals
show government
without answers
By Katherine Corcoran
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MEXICO CITY As he heads

to Washington on Monday to
meet with Barack Obama, Enrique
Pena Nieto leaves behind a year
that was hardly what he had envisioned.
The Mexican president and his
team started 2014 carrying out a
slew of newly passed reforms,
from breaking up telecommunications monopolies to opening the
nations energy sector, earning
him international plaudits,
including a Time magazine cover
with his image above the caption
Saving Mexico.
Then came a 1-2-3 punch of
scandals: Soldiers killing 22
civilians in a questionable
shootout; the abduction and
presumed murder of 43 college
students, allegedly at the hands of
local officials and police in
league with a drug cartel; and revelations that Pena Nieto and his

treasury secretary live in luxury

homes built and financed by a
favorite government contractor.
Pena Nietos meeting with
Obama at the White House on
Tuesday comes amid what was
supposed to be Mexicos
moment, a new era of transparency and reform, but what has
turned out to be the same old age
of violence and corruption.
Tens of thousands have taken
to the streets since the 43 college students disappeared Sept.
26. Institutions normally cautious about criticizing the government, including the Roman
Catholic Church, have spoken

tragedy.
The protests are an expression
of people fed up with impunity,
and indignant at the complicity
between some authorities and
criminals, said Luis Raul

France says ready to strike extremists on Libya border

PARIS France said Monday
its troops south of Libya are ready
to strike extremists crossing the
border, but the speaker of Libyas
internationally recognized parliament rejected any Western mili-

tary intervention in his country.

International concern has been
mounting over Libya, which is
mired in its worst fighting since
Western and Gulf-backed rebels
overthrew dictator Moammar
Gadhafi and killed him in 2011.
Today two rival governments

are each backed by an array of

militias fighting it out across the
country, and extremists in the east
have pledged allegiance to the
Islamic State group.
U.N.-sponsored talks between
the rival governments did not take
place Monday as scheduled.

U. N. spokesman Stephane
Dujarric said recent development
on the ground have not been
conducive in any way to holding
a dialogue. He said the U.N. is
urging the rival governments to
agree on the timing and a venue
that complies with the neces-

sary security requirements.

French President Francois
Hollande urged the United Nations
to take action to stem growing
violence in the North African
country and the transit of arms
from Libya to militant groups
around the Sahel region.

The rise of the boardroom liberal

Orange County Register, Santa Ana, California

s President Obama has

embraced the epithet emperor as an ironic badge of
honor, Democrats are beginning to
realize that an imperious mentality
has been in their midst for years. In a
talked-about new article at the New
Republic, Noam Scheiber proclaimed
a new kind of Democrat, the boardroom liberal, with Obamas in-house
guru, Valerie Jarrett, personifying the
role.
Dutifully progressive on social
matters, the boardroom liberal,
nonetheless, is as much a creature of
corporate culture as of the counterculture. In fact, Scheiber suggests, as the
two have merged in the boardroom
and the bureaucracy, a new kind of
governing logic has emerged.
Patronage is used by privileged operators to elicit big money and big

Other voices
favors, growing the inuence and
power of the elite while checking off
politically correct policy boxes
along the way.
Old-school, big-time corporate
bosses were once reviled as imperial
CEOs. But today, as Suzanne McGee
argued in the Guardian, all-powerful
boardroom liberals have shed the
stigma by mastering the optics of
proper caring. Corporate America is
now dominated by the kind of perpetually teamworked and sensitivitytrained character found across our
deeply liberal government bureaucracies. Its no surprise that todays elite
put on a near-perfect performance of
left-leaning cultural values. In the
postmodern world they live in, the
amount of money and lip service they
pay to those values makes it impossi-

ble for anyone to judge whether they

truly believe.
Furthermore, according to McGee,
the reason boardroom liberals need
to exist at all is the fact that the
social safety net that once existed has
collapsed, and while some of that can
probably be traced to waste and mismanagement, another giant chunk is
simply due to lack of resources.
As evidence, she points to the current level of tax revenue. Yet, she
then points out how big business and
big government both squander even
the vastest of resources. In 2010,
Mark Zuckerberg pledged $100 million for Newarks public schools
only to see most of that money vanish, as if into a sinkhole. The gift
wasnt terribly well thought-out, critics have said, and suffered most from
its top-down nature and the lack of
inclusion from the local community.
These same criticisms go triple for
a government-planned economy.

Editor,
I just read that Daily Journal

a new position with San Mateo
County as its chief communications
ofcer.
I have enjoyed reading Durands

add that it is gratifying to hear that a

remain open, but it wont. No, Im not

of$130,000yearly for the

and western states with a membership

of over 600, fully supports and
strongly urges the Caltrain Board of
Directors to approve the Caltrain
Electrication Final Environmental
Impact Report (FEIR).Caltrains phenomenal growth in ridership cries out
for a large increase in faster rolling
stock as well as more frequent trains.
The environmental advantages are a
large plus e.g. non-air polluting locomotives and quieter operation. Other
advantages are large reduction in fuel
costs and the infrastructure will be
compatible with California HighSpeed Rail. This project is a win-win
for all the Peninsulas cities, traveling

(Gunland, U.S.A. column in the Jan.

5 edition of the Daily Journal).
You said there are an estimated 310
million guns in America, pointing out
that per capita this country has the
highest rate of gun ownership in the
world. But then you failed to connect
this with violent crime rates.
Shouldnt America also have the highest rate of violent crime, including
highest rate of lethal violence against
students?
Two states that reveal the aws in
the policies of restricting gun ownership to reduce crime are Virginia and
Maryland. Both states have similar
racial and economic demographics.
Both states are radically different in
their gun laws: Maryland being one of
the most prohibitive while Virginia is
one of the more lax. And yet Maryland
has higher violent crime rates than
Virginia, both statewide and in its
major cities.
In Virginia, without a permit I can
legally walk down the street with an
openly-holstered handgun holding 17
rounds, and with a shall issue permit
I can carry that same gun under my
clothing. In Maryland I would be
arrested and charged with a felony for
doing any of those things.
If you are going to write a column in
favor of further gun restrictions to
reduce violent crime, dont you think
it imperative to show that tighter
restrictions directly, or even indirectly, lower violent crime rates? And yet
all you did was insult your readers
intelligence with a far-fetched fearmongering fantasy tale in an attempt
to get people to see things your way.

The challenge of
commemoration
I

ts no longer about whats in a name. Now, the goal

is about what that name is on.
I want a picnic table, a coworker said.
Let me be clear, this declaration came while we were
speaking of a story I was working on about commemorative tables and benches in county parks. She didnt
just randomly announce a desire for outdoor furniture.
And she wasnt really voicing a desire for a place to set
plates so much as a an object dedicated in her honor.
No, actually, she wants a bench named after her. But
not concrete, shes adamant. And not wood. Metal, she
said. Something fancy, something nice.
There are drawbacks to metal, we others in the newsroom told her. What about the salt air? And metal gets
hot during the summer
months. She shouldnt
want visitors to be left
with a burning impression, literally. And
what if the bench is a
tad too fancy and
stripped by metal
thieves seeking a
quick buck?
Commemoration is
attractive but it doesnt come without its
own challenges, the
first being what exactly to be dedicated.
I was reminded of the time I demanded a commemorative anything and was offered the watercooler. I passed
at the time but on second thought it certainly beats
other lesser-appreciated items like the fax machine or a
tissue dispenser. In fact, perhaps the water dispenser is
most fitting since my column aims to generate the
proverbial watercooler moments.
Another caveat: Unlike bridges, roads and even those
benches and tables, my naming probably neednt be a
posthumous honor. Granted, former state senator and
judge Quentin Kopp is still alive and kicking while
simultaneously having the Interstate 380 connector
bearing his name but in no way do I consider myself in
his exalted category.
The same cant be said for the newsroom bench seeker.
How about a whole park, she fantasized? Or a bench
bearing my name in my equally named park? This name
in a name proposal was starting to feel at best a little
greedy and at worse a scene from Being John a.
All I want is a sandwich named after me, said another
coworker.
Not too shabby an idea and one that probably has
more mass appeal that a freeway, bridge or stadium brick
but again one that leads to more questions, namely
what would such a culinary delight include? Consider it a
bite-sized version of those psychological quizzes in
which a person is asked to identify what type of animal
they would be or what plant.
Salami and brie, was his answer. Thats it.
Thats it? Sounded awfully plain for a decidedly
unplain person.
Nope, nothing else, he said, It would be a weird sandwich that nobody would ever order.
So what exactly does that say about him that hes
weird?
OK, he added, maybe some granny smith apple slices.
Because your personality has a little bite? I asked.
Apparently, there is no single way of coming at this
naming thing. The bench seeker is looking for something aesthetically pleasing that others can enjoy. I
simply want to put a stamp on something, anything, to
say hey I was here. An object or place with meaning is
preferable but beggars cant be choosers. Ill take the
cooler. Maybe even the parking lot median with its
bright green synthetic turf.
And then theres the sandwich guy. Whats he after? I
doubt its really immortality. Instead, it just sounds like
lunch.

NEW YORK After six months of

falling oil prices, investors are starting to worry that the prolonged slump
is signaling a weaker global economy.
That fear shook financial markets
Monday as oil plunged again, dipping
below $50 for the first time in more
than five years and triggering a big
sell-off, not just among energy stocks
but across the entire stock market.
Stocks had already endured a weak
opening because of concerns that
Greece could leave the eurozone,
adding to worries about the poor outlook for growth in that region. As oil
slid further, the selling accelerated,
pushing the Standard & Poors 500
index to its biggest loss in months.

QUESTIONS ABOUT RECOVERY

Since the decline began, investors
have been working on the assumption
that lower oil prices, caused by a glut
in supply, will be a boon to the U.S.
economy. On Monday, that thesis was
discarded as prices plunged further and
investors started to fret about the wider
implications of the drop.
The lower that oil prices go, the
more it reinforces into the markets
mind that perhaps this is more of a
demand issue than a supply issue, said

Burt White, chief investment officer at

LPL Financial. That raises questions
about the robustness of this recovery.
The S&P 500 index dropped 37.62
points, or 1.8 percent, to 2,020.58.
That was the biggest one-day slump
for the index since Oct. 9. The Dow
Jones industrial average fell 331.34
points, or 1.9 percent, to 17,501.65.
The Nasdaq composite fell 74. 24
points, or 1.6 percent, to 4,652.57.

ENERGY COMPANIES
LEAD BROAD SELL-OFF
Energy stocks led the drop, plunging 4 percent, as the price of oil closed
down $2.65 at $50.04 a barrel, after
dipping below $50 during trading. But
the declines were broad, and even airline stocks, usually a beneficiary of
lower oil prices, ended the day lower.
Most analysts and economists predict that, on balance, a decline in oil
prices helps the wider economy
because it reduces energy costs for
industrial companies. Lower gas prices
also put more money in the pockets of
consumers.
But there are downsides as well. As
the price of oil slumps, some companies in the energy industry will go
out of business. Not only will that
cost jobs in the sector, but it will
also cut spending on things like

plants and equipment.

Transocean, a company that provides offshore drilling services to oil
companies, was among the biggest
decliners in the S&P 500 index on
Monday. The companys stock
slumped $1.28, or 7.1 percent, to
$16.84.

WORRIES ABOUT EUROPE

Another area for concern is Europe.
Investors were already worried about
the poor growth prospects in the euro
region and the impact on global
growth. Now they also have to contend with renewed speculation that
Greece may withdraw from the eurozone.
European stock markets slumped,
and the euro plunged against the dollar
on reports that German Chancellor
Angela Merkel no longer believes it
would be too risky for the 19-member
eurozone if Greece dropped out of the
currency bloc. Elections in Greece this
month could be won by the Syriza
party, which wants to renegotiate the
terms of the countrys international
bailout, threatening its place in the
euro group.
The currency was already under pressure from expectations that the
European Central Bank will expand its
monetary stimulus as the regions

Carmakers finish strong in 2014; are even better days ahead?

By Tom Krisher and Dee-Ann Durbin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT Confident in the economy

and cheered by cheap gas, Americans are
likely to push new car sales to their highest
level in a decade this year.
Analysts expect sales to reach 17 million
for the first time since 2005. Thats close to
the record of 17.3 million set in 2000.
Low gas prices are giving buyers more
confidence, whether theyre buying their
first subcompact or upgrading to a larger
SUV. Gas prices started this year at an average of $2.23 per gallon, down 33 percent
from the beginning of 2014, according to
AAA. The Energy Department estimates

that lower gasoline prices will save U.S.

households $550 this year about four
months of lease payments on a 2014 Honda
Civic.
Popular new vehicles, like the Jeep
Cherokee and Subaru Outback, are also
drawing buyers.
Sales have now grown for five consecutive years a rarity in the volatile auto
industry.
While sales are growing, the pace has
slowed from double-digit increases in 2011
and 2012. Thats good news for buyers, who
can expect to see bigger discounts in competitive segments like midsize cars as
automakers fight to steal sales from each
other.

Alec Gutierrez, an analyst with the car

buying site Kelley Blue Book, thinks sales
could stay in the 17-million range for the
next two or three years if interest rates stay
low and the U.S. economy remains healthy.
December, with its holiday discounts and
warmer-than-usual weather, brought buyers
out in droves, with sales up 11 percent over
the previous year. Automakers reported
December and full-year sales Monday.
For all of 2014, sales were up 6 percent to
16. 5 million vehicles, according to
Autodata Corp. That was the biggest year
for the industry since 2006.
Back then as now the Ford F-Series
was the countrys best-selling vehicle and
the midsize Toyota Camry was the best-sell-

Strong dollar makes world travel cheaper for Americans

By David Koenig
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DALLAS Trips in Europe or Asia

should be cheaper for Americans this
year.
Thank a stronger dollar.
Since the middle of last year, it has
been gaining against the euro, the
British pound, the Swiss franc, the
Russian ruble, the Indian rupee, the
Japanese yen and other currencies.
That means dollars go further in
those countries, reducing the price of
everything from a hotel room to a
glass of beer.
This is one of the best times for
Americans to travel in years, says
Matt Kepnes, author of Travel the
World on $50 a Day and other travel
books.

WHY THE DOLLAR IS STRONG

Other economies are shaky, making
their currencies less valuable. Europe
is barely growing. Japan is already
officially in recession. Chinas
growth has slowed. Meanwhile, the
U. S. economy has been chugging
along. Many economists expect that
steady U.S. growth will compel the
Federal Reserve to raise interest rates
later this year, making dollar investments more attractive and leading
traders to sell other currencies and buy
dollars.

WHAT IT MEANS
Lets say that in June you had a
charming dinner for two in Paris for 75
euros. First, congratulations. Second,
it cost $103 then; today it would be
$89. Expensive countries may not be

cheap, but at least theyre more affordable now.

BEST BARGAINS
Thanks to the pounds decline,
England is cheaper than it was six
months ago. But the euro has slumped
more, making most of continental
Europe an even better bargain. Travel
writer Kepnes says Greece is attractive
right now because hotels and tour
operators have been slashing prices to
fill rooms. The same thing is happening in Portugal and parts of Spain.
Be the contrarian traveler, Kepnes
says. If you want to go to Europe,
consider eastern or central Europe,
where prices are generally cheaper, he
says. He recommends going during the
shoulder season late spring or
early fall rather than in summer,
which is peak season.

Raise your homes IQ: Smart gadgets take center stage at CES
By Anick Jesdanun

LAS VEGAS Imagine a world in

which your garage door opens automatically as you pull into the driveway.
The living room lights and heater turn
on perhaps the oven starts warming
up, too. In the so-called smart home,
cars, appliances and other devices all
have sensors and Internet connectivity
to think and act for themselves, and

make your life easier.

Were not there just yet, but were
getting closer.
The smart-home concept is known
in tech circles as the Internet of
Things. Current iterations primarily
include our ability to control gadgets
such as lights and security alarms or
view data remotely through a smartphone app. At the International CES
gadget show in Las Vegas this week,
manufacturers will promote more

devices and functionality. Some gadgets will be able to talk directly with
one another, not just to an app. The
four-day show opens to the public

The Internet of Things could mean
big business for gadget makers. The

from 2014.

ing car. The top-selling SUV was the Ford

Explorer, but it was only No. 14 among all
vehicles sold, according to Wards
AutoInfoBank. In 2014 two smaller SUVs
the Honda CR-V and the Ford Escape
cracked the top 10 in sales as customers
turned away from small and midsize cars as
car-like handling and low gas prices made
such vehicles more appealing.
Toyota, Fiat Chrysler and General Motors
all reported 2014 sales increases, and
Nissan, Subaru, Hyundai and Honda reported
record numbers for the year.
Fords sales were flat, but the Ford brand
remained the top-selling brand in the U.S.
Among
major
automakers,
only
Volkswagens sales fell.

Business brief
SpaceX shoots for launch
to station, rocket landing on barge
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. SpaceX is making another
supply run to the International Space Station for NASA. But
its the rockets return not its takeoff that has space
fans talking.
Minutes after Tuesday mornings planned launch from
Cape Canaveral, the first stage of the unmanned Falcon
rocket will aim for a vertical test landing on a barge in the
Atlantic. The 14-story booster will soar close to 150 miles
high, before flying back down and attempting to settle
upright on the floating platform close to the size of a
football field.
When you look at it on the ground, I think its probably
a very, very big platform, a big spaceport, Hans
Koenigsmann, vice president for mission assurance at
SpaceX, said Monday on the eve of launch. But if you look
at it from, I think, almost 150 or so miles up in suborbit,
then it looks like a very, very small place to land on.
Im going to be super-excited if this works,
Koenigsmann noted. But he stressed that he did not want
anyone losing sight of the main purpose of the Falcons
mission: to deliver critical supplies to the space station and
its six inhabitants.
This will be the sixth flight of a supply-filled Dragon capsule to the orbiting lab. Its loaded more than usual because
of an October launch explosion that wiped out another companys delivery effort in October; this Dragon is stuffed
with more than 5,000 pounds of goods, much of it replacing
items lost on the Orbital Sciences Corp. flight.
As for the audacious landing experiment, once the firststage booster has completed its primary job of hoisting
Dragon, its entirely a SpaceX operation.
The California-based company has attempted two such
landings before on the open sea, both of them successful,
but never on a platform like this. Normally, the boosters are
discarded at sea.

Hilton finds niche for HMB

Athlete of the Week

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The art of the hook shot by Austin Hilton.

Half Moon Bay boys basketball has
weapons aplenty, hence the reason the team is
off to an undefeated 11-0 start.
Junior Tommy Nuo has been a hit at the
point guard position and 6-7 senior center Case
DuFrane has been a force in the paint. Both
Nuo and DuFrane are averaging double-figures
in points 10.8 and 11.5, respectively.
It has been Hilton though, who in his first
full varsity season is averaging 14.8 points
per game, to emerge as the Cougars leading
scorer.
Half Moon Bay played four games last week.
All, of course, were victories. And it was Hilton
who celebrated the best game of his burgeoning varsity career. The junior totaled 65 points
through the four victories, including a careerhigh 31 points in last Fridays 68-46 win over
Harker.
Because his offensive output helped sustain
Half Moon Bays remarkable undefeated run
through nonleague play, Hilton has been
named the Daily Journal Athlete of the Week.
It was the first game where [the hook shot]
was going in for me pretty much every time I
shot it, Hilton said.
Admittedly, Hilton is too young to have ever
seen the legendary skyhook of Hall of Fame
center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. With the help of
Half Moon Bay head coach Rich Forslund,
however, Hilton has refined a hook shot of his
own in acclimating to the varsity game.
At 6-6, 210 pounds, Hilton feasted on undersized defenders last season at the frosh-soph
level. Running into some big varsity opponents this year has forced him to adjust. Case in
point, HMBs season opener against Oakwood
and 6-9 senior center Justin Mortensen.
The Cougars met the challenge by countering with their two big men, prevailing convincingly 71-43. Hilton one of four players
to tab double-figures in scoring netted a
game-high 19 points.
Weve been pounding the ball in a lot to make
the most of our big guys, Forslund said. And
theyve been making the most of it this season.
For Forslund, Hilton has been one of the
biggest surprises in recent years. It wasnt until

protected 2015 first-round draft pick and

moved reserve Lance Thomas to the New York
Knicks.
The Warriors, meanwhile, continue to set
the league pace regardless of whether theyre
at full strength.
They keep extending the best start in franchise history even with centers Andrew Bogut
(right knee) and Festus Ezeli (left ankle) out,
and that was apparent again despite going

49ers search for Harbaughs successor continues

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Jed York is looking

for a teacher in San Franciscos next coach,
and the search for Jim Harbaughs successor
entered its second week Monday with little
indication on how soon the 49ers CEO will
find his new man.
The team is not confirming any interviews or acknowledging potential candidates, even internal faces such as defensive
coordinator Vic Fangio or defensive line
coach Jim Tomsula.

I think what made Bill

Walsh so successful was
that he was a great
teacher, whether that was
players or whether that
was other coaches, York
said last week. And you
look at his successful
coaching tree. I think if
Mike Shanahan you look in the 49ers
Hall of Fame down the
road, I want to say as of 2012 or 2013, 29 of
the 32 coaches in the NFL had either a direct
or indirect relationship with Bill. Thats

what made this organization so successful.

Youre able to transition from one three-timewinning Super Bowl head
coach to another twotime Super-Bowl-winning head coach and there
were many other tentaDan Quinn
cles beyond that. What I
want to make sure that we
have is somebody that understands that
level of teaching, he added. Understands
how to get more out of less and continue to

build an organization that wins both on and

off the field.
The Niners interviewed Denver Broncos
offensive coordinator Adam Gase on Friday
in Colorado and have had a busy stretch in
what York and general manager described as
an initial 7-to-10 day window they said
could take longer to get the right person.
They were able to interview. All focus
right now is on the Broncos and, yeah, its

Developers, including Rams owner, plan L.A. stadium

By Michael R. Blood
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

INGLEWOOD A development group that

includes a company controlled by the owner
of the St. Louis Rams announced plans
Monday to build an 80,000-seat stadium in
the Los Angeles suburbs
that could become home
for an NFL team.
The proposal that envisions a stadium rising on
the site of a former horse
track again raised the
hopes of fans that Los
Angeles could end its
two-decade drought withStan Kroenke out an NFL team. It
becomes the latest in a string of stadium proposals in the Los Angeles area since the
1994 exit of the Rams and Raiders from
Southern California.
The proposal stands out, however, because
of the involvement of St. Louis Rams owner
Stan Kroenke. His company, The Kroenke
Group, has entered a joint venture with
Stockbridge Capital Group, which had been
developing a 238-acre tract of homes, parks
and office space at the former Hollywood
Park track in Inglewood, on the edge of Los
Angeles.
Kroenkes company owns an adjacent 60
acres, which would be merged into the overall development. The expanded project would
include a stadium, a separate 6,000-seat performance venue and parking.
This is a perfect location for a venue like
this, said Christopher Meany, a senior executive for the joint venture, Hollywood Park
Land Co., alluding to its proximity to major

From left, NFL fans Tom Bateman, Skye Sverdlin, Daniel Balma and Joe Ramirez show their
support for the Rams to move to Los Angeles, at a news conference to unveil plans for
development at the site of the former Hollywood Park Race Track in Inglewood.
Airport and The Forum, the former home of
the NBAs Los Angeles Lakers. I dont know
of a place that compares to this.
A rendering of the project depicts a stadium, shielded by a gently sloping dome, surrounded by palm trees and fountains.
Meany was cautious not to characterize the
stadium as an NFL venue, emphasizing that
any decision on moving a team is entirely
in the hands of the NFL. He repeatedly
referred to the stadium as multipurpose,
also capable of hosting soccer games.

The proposal was first reported Monday by

the Los Angeles Times.
The shell of the old racetrack would need to
be leveled, and stadium construction is not
expected to begin before late this year.
However, its development would hinge on
approval by local voters, Meany said.
The plan adds pressure on the city of St.
Louis to either strike a deal for a new stadium
for the Rams, or watch the team return to
Southern California, where it played from
1946 to 1994. The team is unhappy in the

Edward Jones Dome, which is outdated by

NFL standards.
St. Louis is expected to offer the team a
new proposal by the end of the month.
A statement issued by two advisers to
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon said St. Louis and
the state are ready to demonstrate our commitment to keeping the NFL here.
The news today is another reminder of
how much competition there can be for
National Football League franchises and
projects that include NFL stadiums, said the
statement from former Anheuser-Busch executive David Peacock and lawyer Robert Blitz.
It is important to remember this will be
a long-term process, but one that the state
of Missouri and the St. Louis region are
fully pledged to seeing through, the statement said.
The San Diego Chargers and Oakland
Raiders are also playing in aging stadiums
and are considered potential Los Angeles
transplants.
The earliest any team could move would be
2016.
Meany made the Inglewood announcement
standing outside the shuttered track, where
work has been underway razing barns and
preparing the site for development.
The city of Los Angeles has been hoping to
lure an NFL team to a proposed downtown
field. The citys aspirations are hitched to
Anschutz Entertainment Group, which owns
the NHLs Los Angeles Kings and the downtown Staples Center, home of the Lakers and
Clippers. Under its deal with City Hall, the
company, led by billionaire Philip Anschutz,
has until April to sign a football team.
Another stadium project has been discussed for years in the city of Industry, about
20 miles east of downtown.

No. 15 Stanford
overcomes Utah

Raiders pick up pace on head coach search

By Janie McCauley

ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders are picking up the pace on their coaching search, interviewing San Francisco 49ers tight ends coach
Eric Mangini and Indianapolis offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton.
Colts coach Chuck Pagano confirmed
Monday that Hamilton met with the Raiders
the previous night after Indianapolis playoff
win over Cincinnati.
I guess they had a get-together. Thats all I
know, he said.
Hamilton joined the Colts after Bruce Arians
left for Arizona following the 2012 season.
Since then, Hamilton has mentored Andrew
Luck and led an offense that set single-season
franchise records for total net yards (6,506)
and net passing yards (4,894) in 2014. Indys
458 points this season were the second most
in Colts history.
You have success, thats what happens,
Pagano said. You never want to lose great
coaches and good people and all of that stuff.
Hamilton also has ties to the Bay Area.
Before coming to Indianapolis, he was the
49ers quarterbacks coach in 2006 and was an
assistant at Stanford from 2010-12.

STANFORD Amber Orrange had 17 points

and seven rebounds, leading No. 15 Stanford
past Utah 55-44 on Monday night to sweep the
opening two games of conference play.
Lili Thompson scored 14 points and
freshman Kaylee Johnson added seven
points, seven rebounds and four blocks for
the Cardinal (10-4, 2-0 Pac-12), who are
chasing their 15th consecutive conference
regular-season title under 29th-year Hall of
Fame coach Tara VanDerveer.
Karlie Samuelson scored four straight
points midway through the second half as
Stanford, which led 20-14 at halftime, built
its lead to 34-23.
Thompson went down hard under the basket with 5:40 remaining and left the game
after being whistled for an offensive foul.
She appeared to hit her head on the court and
didnt return.
Taryn Wicijowski scored 12 points of her
14 points in the second half to go with nine
rebounds for the scrappy Utes, who managed only six field goals in the opening 20
minutes but hung tough. Utah was swept on
its Bay Area trip to open conference play,
losing at California on Saturday.
Stanford improved to 7-1 at home with
its fourth straight victory since losses at
Chattanooga and No. 11 Tennessee last
month.
The Cardinal are 18-0 all-time against
Utah dating to their first meeting on Jan.
13, 1986. This marked the sixth meeting as
conference opponents, and Stanford won
the previous five by an average of 21.4
points.

Cal 75, Colorado 59

BERKELEY Brittany Boyd had 19
points, 14 rebounds, six assists and seven
steals to help California beat Colorado 7559 on Monday night.
Reshanda Gray added 17 points and 10
rebounds for Cal (10-3, 2-0 Pac-12) and
Mikayla Cowling scored 12.
Boyd either scored or assisted on every point
scored during a 14-4 run that gave the Golden
Bears a 63-43 lead with 6:34 remaining.

Former Giants All-Star Stu Miller dies at age 87 U.S. ski team
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Stu Miller, the former Giants pitcher who committed perhaps
the most famous balk in All-Star game history, has died. He was 87.
The Giants said Monday that Miller died at
his home in Cameron Park on Sunday after a
brief illness.
Miller played 16 years in the majors for the
Giants, St. Louis Cardinals, Philadelphia
Phillies, Baltimore and Atlanta. He led the
National League in ERA in 1958, had the
most saves in the NL in 1961 and the
American League in 1963 and won a World
Series title with Baltimore in 1966.
But he is most remembered for his All-Star
game performance at windy Candlestick
Park in 1961. He was called for a balk in the
ninth inning which helped the AL score the
tying run. Miller got the win in extra
innings but the headlines the next day proclaimed Miller Blown off Mound.
The next day in the paper there was a
banner headline: Miller Blown off
Mound, he recalled in a 2007 interview
with The Associated Press. They couldnt
have made it any bigger. They made it out to
be like I was pinned against the center-field
fence. It wasnt about Mays scores winning

run but Miller Blown off

Mound.
Miller entered the game
for the National League
trying to protect a 3-2
lead with runners on first
and second and one out in
the ninth. With Rocky
Colavito at the plate,
Miller relieved Sandy
Stu Miller
Koufax.
A calm day had turned windy, some of the
harshest gusts Miller saw in the three years
that Candlestick was his home park while he
played for the Giants. He remembered Harvey
Haddix chasing his hat around the infield and
the flags nearly blowing off the poles.
Just as I was ready to pitch, an extra gust of
wind came along and I waved like a tree, he
said. My whole body went back and forth
about 2 or 3 inches. The AL bench all hollered
balk. I knew it was a balk, but the umpires didnt call it at first. I went ahead and threw the
pitch and Colavito swung and missed. The
umpire then took off his mask and motioned
the runners to second and third.
An error by third baseman Ken Boyer
allowed the tying run to score.
Miller allowed an unearned run in the 10th
inning, but he also struck out the side that
inning. He ended it by fanning Roger Maris

with a runner on third, striking out the man

who was on his way to becoming baseballs
single-season home run king that year.
Miller earned the win when Willie Mays
hit an RBI double and scored on Roberto
Clementes single in the bottom of the
10th. But it was the balk that became the
defining moment in his career.
I guess thats better than Stu Who? he
said. Id rather be remembered for something.
Miller played for both the New York and
San Francisco Giants from 1957-62, winning the NL ERA title in 1958. He also led
the NL in saves with 17 in 1961 when he
was picked as the Sporting News Fireman of
the Year.
The passing of Stu Miller brings great
sadness to our organization, Giants
President and CEO Larry Baer said. Stu had
a long and distinguished career with some of
his best seasons coming in a Giants uniform. We express our deepest condolences
to his family and will have them in our
thoughts and prayers.
He finished his career with a 105-103
record, 154 saves and a 3.24 ERA in 704
lifetime appearances. He led the AL in saves
with 27 for the Orioles in 1963.
Miller is survived by his wife, Jayne,
daughters Lori and Kim, sons Scott, Marc,
Gary and Matthew, and his five grandchildren.

Sharks win wild one in Winnipeg

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WINNIPEG, Manitoba Marc-Edouard

Vlasic needed only 3 seconds to give the San
Jose Sharks a win over the Winnipeg Jets in
a game that seemed destined for overtime.
With 8 seconds remaining in the third period of a tied game, Joe Pavelski won an offensive zone faceoff to Logan Couture, who set
up Vlasic for the decisive goal with 4.5 seconds to go that gave the Sharks a 3-2 victory
on Monday night.
The shot got past Jets goalie Michael
Hutchinson just in time.
To finish it off before overtime is big. It
worked out for us, said Vlasic, whose goal
denied at least one point to a team the Sharks
are battling for playoff positioning. We
won the draw, and Couture made a nice pass.
There was a little bit of room, and I was
able to pick a little spot up there.
Brent Burns and Melker Karlsson also
scored for the Sharks. Andrew Ladd and Jay
Harrison had goals for Winnipeg in the only
NHL game on Monday.
Harrisons shot from the high slot on the
power play got through Sharks goalie Antti

Niemis pads at 4:03 of the third period to tie

it 2-2.
We were hanging around long enough to
give ourselves a chance of winning the
game, and those are stingers, ones you lose
at the end like that, Harrison said.
The teams entered the night holding both
of the Western Conferences wild card playoff
spots. The Sharks (21-14-5) moved into a tie
with Vancouver and Los Angeles for second
in the Pacific Division.
We couldnt be happier, obviously, to get
the win and fix what was broken, said
Sharks coach Todd McLellan, whose team
had just one win in its previous five games.
We didnt play very well against St. Louis
the other night, and Winnipeg plays a similar game.
The Jets (20-13-7) are winless in 13 games
in which they trailed after two periods.
Were not holding back, Jets coach Paul
Maurice said. I liked our third period as much
as any part of our game. I dont think we can
open up our game more to generate more.
Maurice said his biggest concern was the
first 30 minutes of the game, in which his
team didnt generate much offense at even

strength.
You have eight seconds left, and you want
to get it to overtime, so yeah, it stings, said
Ladd, the Jets captain.
The Jets killed two penalties in the final 10
minutes. Ladd was called for illegal contact
to Karlssons head, and Paul Postma was
whistled for delay of game.
San Jose had seven power plays. Winnipeg
had three.
Hutchinson, who entered with the NHLs
best save percentage and goals-against average, stopped 34 shots. Making his fifth start
in six games, Hutchinson has received an
increased workload at the expense of longtime starter Ondrej Pavelec.
Their team does a good job of getting a lot
of traffic and shooting for sticks,
Hutchinson said. Theres very few shots
tonight that came off their guys sticks clean
and made it all the way to me without being
touched.
Niemi made 17 saves in his eighth start in
nine games.
The Sharks had a 13-4 shots advantage in
the first period and limited the Jets to only
one even-strength shot.

prospects die
in avalanche
By Eric Willemsen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Two prospects from the U.S. Ski Team were

killed in an avalanche Monday while skiing
near their European training base in the
Austrian Alps.
The U.S. ski team said Ronnie Berlack, 20,
and Bryce Astle, 19, died in the incident near
the Rettenbach glacier near Soelden, the
venue for the annual season-opening World
Cup races.
Berlack, from Franconia, New Hampshire,
and Astle, from Sandy, Utah, were part of a
group of six skiers who were descending from
the 3,056-meter Gaislachkogel when they left
the prepared slope and apparently set off the
avalanche. The other four skied out of the slide
and escaped unhurt.
Officials in the Tyrolean region said an avalanche alert had been declared for the area after
days of heavy snowfall and mild temperatures.
Ronnie and Bryce were both outstanding
ski racers who were passionate about their
sport both on the race course and skiing the
mountain, U.S. Ski and Snowboard
Association President and CEO Tiger Shaw
said. Our hearts go out to the Berlack and
Astle families, as well as to their extended
sport family. Both of them loved what they did
and conveyed that to those around them.
Berlack grew up racing in New Hampshire
and had been a student-athlete at Vermonts
Burke Mountain Academy. He was named to
the so-called development team for potential
World Cup racers following two top-20 finishes at the 2013 U.S. national championships
and a spring tryout camp.
Astle was invited to train with the development team this season after strong early season results, including two top-10 results at
NorAm Cup races last month in Canada.
The tragedy has left the U.S. ski team in
shock, Alpine director Patrick Riml told The
Associated Press in Croatia, Zagreb, where the
American slalom team was preparing for a
night race on Tuesday.
We are all very close, said Riml, an
Austrian who was born and grew up in
Soelden. We train a lot in Park City. Well see
how they handle the whole thing and how they
react.
Riml added its a shock for everybody. Two
great boys, great athletes, good skiers. They
were fun to have around. We are all in shock,
still. Its very tragic.

surging since Westbrook and Durant
returned from injuries.
With contributions from all over
the roster, the Warriors stuffed the
Thunder on one end and put up points
at a blistering pace on the other.
Thompson made his first four
shots and scored 13 points in the
first 3 1/2 minutes, pleasing the
white shirt-wearing sellout crowd of
19,596. But Thompson, Curry and
Draymond Green all picked up two
fouls and went to the bench before
the end of the first quarter to stall the
momentum.
At least for a little while.
Durant, who scored 30 points in
the first half of a loss at Golden State
on Dec. 18 before spraining his
right ankle, missed his first seven
shots. The rest of the Thunder struggled to sustain a rhythm as the
small-ball Warriors switched every
pick-and-roll and used their paceand-space offense to pull away.
Golden State led 65-45 at halftime
with everybody from Curry and
Thompson to Barnes and Justin
Holiday coming up big and never
let the Thunder seriously threaten in
the second half.

Wednesday brings one of the spiciest matchups of the week when the

dont like each other would be an
understatement. Yellow cards, red

marred this game in previous seasons,
but last years games were relatively
well mannered.

little time in pairing the top two

Another rivalry soccer game kicks

off the PAL Ocean Division schedule
as San Mateo hosts Aragon at 3 p.m.
Wednesday. Look for emotions to be
running high. While they may not be
traditional rivals, there are denitely city bragging rights on the line.
This week will also see if El
Camino and South City boys have
what it takes to compete in the Bay
Division. These two battled for Ocean
Division supremacy last year, with
South City taking the title. The general consensus was both teams would
have held their own in the Bay last
year, but rosters change from year to
year, so there is no guarantee that will
be the case this year. El Camino will
take on 2014 CCS nalist Burlingame
Wednesday, while South City hosts

Health briefs
U.N.: Ebola kills 8,153 people
in West Africa, infects 20,650
GENEVA The World Health Organization says at least
8,153 people have died in the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.
The Geneva-based body said Monday that the total number
of confirmed, probable and suspected deaths from the disease
comes from 20,656 cases in the three most affected countries
a mortality rate of 39 percent.
The U.N. health agency says 2,915 deaths have been
reported from Sierra Leone, 3,471 in Liberia and 1,767 in
Guinea. The current outbreak, which began about a year ago,
has also claimed more than dozen lives elsewhere.
The Ebola virus is transmitted through bodily fluids such
as blood, vomit or feces.

California court: Fifth

Amendment applies in mental hearings
SAN FRANCISCO Felony defendants found insane at
trial dont have to testify at hearings to extend their confinement at a mental hospital, the California Supreme Court
ruled Monday.
The court, in a unanimous decision, said state law extends
federal and state rights that defendants have during criminal
proceedings to such mental health hearings. Among those
rights is the U.S. Constitutions 5th Amendment guarantee
allowing defendants not to take the witness stand to avoid
incriminating themselves.

The flu season appears to be on track to peak this month, but even if it does, the flu will still be around for months.

CDC: Flu season continues to

worsen, could peak this month
By Mike Stobbe
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The flu is rampant in

most of the country, and health officials say the season could peak soon.
Flu was widespread in 43 states and
flu activity was intense in most of
them during the week of Christmas,
according to the latest figures issued
Monday by the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.
Those trends are expected to continue, said the CDCs Dr. Michael Jhung.
Its been an early and forceful start
to the flu season, and its possible
the worst could be over soon. But
then again, maybe not flu has yet
to rev up to high levels in large states
like New York and California, Jhung
said.
More on the flu situation:

HOW BAD IS THIS FLU SEASON?

Its not clear yet. Experts worry this
winter will be unusually bad because
the nasty bug thats making most peo-

ple sick isnt included in this years

vaccine. Preliminary data on how well
the vaccine is working is still weeks
away. Among infectious diseases, flu
is considered one of the nations leading causes of death, killing roughly
24,000 a year, on average.

HOW UNUSUAL IS FLU THIS YEAR?

The different flu strain makes predictions more difficult. The current season hit hard in December earlier
than usual. But the last two flu seasons
hit early, too. So far, flu hospitalization rates are similar to the harsh season two years ago, which was dominated by a similar flu virus. Especially
this year, health officials this year are
urging doctors to treat flu patients
promptly with antiviral medications.

HAS FLU BECOME EPIDEMIC?

Yes, but thats not unusual. Its safe
to say we have a flu epidemic every
year,Jhung said Monday. Epidemics
occur when a virus spreads quickly and
affects many people at the same time.

According to one CDC definition, flu

is epidemic when a certain percentage
of deaths in a given week are due to flu
and pneumonia. By that measure, flu
epidemics occurred in nine of the last
dozen winters, including this one. Flurelated deaths surpassed the epidemic
threshold three weeks ago, then
dropped below that level the next
week. But other measures indicate flu
still is epidemic.

IS IT TOO LATE
TO GET A FLU SHOT?
CDC officials say no. The flu season
appears to be on track to peak this
month, but even if it does, the flu will
still be around for months. Despite the
new flu strain, the vaccine has been
well matched in roughly a third of the
flu cases seen so far. And it is considered to be effective against some other
flu viruses that could surge in the late
winter or spring. About 40 percent of
the public was vaccinated against flu
as of November, which is about normal
in recent years, Jhung said.

WATER
Continued from page 1
is up to date, said Kathy Kleinbaum, senior
management analyst with the City
Managers Office.
Its to really encourage people to put in
more drought-tolerant landscape to conserve water, because the drought is an ongoing issue, Kleinbaum said.
Even as far back as 2006 [when the state
passed the act,] water has been an ongoing
issue all this time; so its important, especially for new developments and new landscapes, that we do them wisely.
The updated landscape code would include
requiring new technologies be used such as
automatic irrigation systems with moisture
sensors and separate meters for new landscapes over 1,000 square feet that require a
building permit or design review.
San Mateo will mirror its code after the

LAC

claims, get approved for a disaster loan,
find resources for home repairs or simply
provide emotional support. Organizations
and departments present at the LAC include
the cities of South San Francisco and
Redwood City, County Health and Human
Services, the State Franchise Tax Board, the
Contractors Licensing Board and the Red
Cross.
Were a family of four and weve been out
since the day of the flood, and we were there
when it happened, so its just every direction is traumatic, said South San Francisco

Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation

Agencys model, which provides a more
streamlined process and is stricter than the
states suggestion, Kleinbaum said.
The new code outlines a preference of
native and drought-tolerant species, encourages mulch be used over exposed spoil and
discourages more than 25 percent of a landscape to be turf.
Residences are primarily excluded from
the restrictions and those who are redoing
their landscapes wouldnt be affected.
However, those completely redeveloping
their properties and landscapes or building
on a new lot that requires a permit would
have to comply, Kleinbaum said.
While the City Council and Planning
Commission previously discussed updates
to the code, neither took formal action.
Having the Sustainability Commission dedicated to issues such as water conservation
will assist in the city keeping up to date,
Kleinbaum said.
The landscape ordinance will be one of

the first items the Sustainability

Commission will take a formal action on
since its creation in February. Updating the
Climate Action Plan is one of the
Sustainability Commissions main charges
and Tuesdays meeting will provide an
opportunity for sustainability and planning
commissioners to jointly discuss the
important project, Kleinbaum said.

resident Brianna Stergion. Im not trying

to milk anything. I just want to know whos
going to help where, because a lot of us lost
a lot of stuff.
The South San Francisco Fire Department
estimated that 46 of the citys homes were
significantly damaged during the storm, but
residents from all over San Mateo County
can come to the LAC for assistance.
Were here to try and provide relief and a
way for them to get their lives back in some
semblance of order and get the help they
need, which is critical, said South San
Francisco Mayor Richard Garbarino.
Theres a whole corps of people in there
who can provide help or access to help and
hopefully the disaster relief funding will be
forthcoming quickly.
For those that were uninsured, or suffered

loss or damage beyond what will be covered, the Small Business Administration
will continue to provide disaster relief loan
services at the LAC location through
Thursday, Jan. 15. The SBA provides U.S.
Treasury loans below 2 percent interest for
up to 30-year terms.
Ive seen a lot of folks who obviously
dont know what the next step is, said
William Koontz, public information officer
for the SBA. I already heard a lady here say:
I dont have flood insurance and I lost
everything. If she can afford the payment,
shes the perfect candidate for our program.
Residents of San Mateo, San Francisco,
Alameda, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties can register and be approved for a loan
at the LAC or online (www.sba.gov/disaster) until March 3 of this year, and will have
a six-month grace period to decide if they
need the loan.
A flood is one of those disasters that is a
lot worse than it seems at first, Koontz
said. They clean out the mud and dry

Major study of bereaved military families underway

By David Crary
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

With his wife and child close at hand, Army Maj. Chad
Wriglesworth battled skin cancer for more than a year
before dying at age 37.
It was long and painful and awful, said Aimee
Wriglesworth, who believes the cancer resulted from exposure to toxic fumes in Iraq. Yet the 28-year-old widow from
Bristow, Virginia, seized a chance to recount the ordeal and
its aftermath to a researcher, hoping that input from her and
her 6-year-old daughter might be useful to other grieving
military families.
To be able to study what we felt and what were going
through - maybe this will help people down the line,
Wriglesworth said.
By the hundreds, other widows, widowers, parents, siblings and children are sharing accounts of their grief as part
of the largest study ever of Americas military families as
they go through bereavement. About 2,000 people have
participated over the past three years, and one-on-one interviews will continue through February.
The federally funded project is being conducted by the
Center for the Study of Traumatic Stress at the Marylandbased Uniformed Services University of the Health
Sciences. The study is open to families of the more than
19,000 service members from all branches of the military
who have died on active duty since the terror attacks of
Sept. 11, 2001, regardless of whether the death resulted
from combat, accident, illness, suicide or other causes.
Weve been impressed by how many people whove had
this experience really want to let us know about it, said the
leader of the study, Dr. Stephen Cozza. They want to talk
about what happened - to provide information that will help
them and people like them in the future.
Aimee Wriglesworth is hopeful that the study will provide new insight on how best to support young families
like hers.
A lot of things that are helping us now come from
Vietnam, Korea, World War II, she said of existing assistance programs. But now its a whole new world of military
losses. Studying us is really important.
About half of the participants are providing saliva samples that will be used for genetic research, aimed at determining if certain genetic makeups correlate with the duration of the grieving process and the levels of stress and
depression experienced as it unfolds. Some previous
research has suggested that a certain gene variation is associated with greater risk of complicated grief, especially in
women.
Cozza said a final report isnt expected until 2017, and he
is encouraging more survivors to sign up for interviews
before the cutoff date in late February.
Our interest is understanding what these families need,
he said. Recognizing the need will allow us to make better

Weve been impressed by how many people whove had this

experience really want to let us know about it. ... They want to talk about what

Dr. Stephen Cozza

policy recommendations as to what sort of services would

be appropriate for them.
The questionnaires and face-to-face interviews are being
handled by eight field researchers based in regions spanning the country.
Jill Harrington, the senior field researcher, said the team
members are experienced in dealing with grief and wellversed in military culture.
For the families of the fallen, whoever they talk to, they
want to be able to trust, Harrington said. We have a highly trained group of folks who know how to listen and how
to be patient.
While bereaved military families share much in common
with other grieving families, there are distinctive aspects
to many military deaths. Whether in combat, or by accident
or suicide, they often occur suddenly, and many of the
deceased are in their 20s or 30s.
These are young families - a lot of single parents raising
kids alone, said Harrington. When someone dies young,
theres a loss of the future. How do you live with that loss
in your life?
Some insight on that question will be provided by the
roughly 100 children, ages 6 to 18, who are participating
in the study. Most are the sons or daughters of deceased
service members; a few are younger siblings.
Many of these children, when their parent died, were
very young and didnt know them well, said Cozza.
According to preliminary findings, he said, a factor helping
them weather the loss was having pride in their departed
parents military service.
The web site for the study encourages bereaved parents to
let their children participate, while acknowledging that the
one-on-one interviews, lasting 90 minutes to three hours,
cover sensitive matters.
The field researchers are trained to recognize when a
child is upset and will periodically ask your child if he/she
is okay to continue, the web site says. If your child
becomes upset, he/she can decide to stop the interview at
any time.
Among the children taking part is Aimee Wriglesworths
daughter, Savannah, who was 5 when her father died at home
on Nov. 20, 2013. Family photos from the preceding days
show Savannah cuddling up with him as he lay stricken in
bed.
Chad Wriglesworth initially joined the Air Force and was
deployed to Iraq in 2008. He transferred to the Army in
2009, and was deployed to Afghanistan in 2011.

According to his wife, he began reporting lumps on various parts of his body starting in 2011 and was diagnosed in
2012 with Stage 4 melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer.
The military, without being more specific, ruled that the
majors death occurred in the line of duty; his wife believes
the cancer was caused by his exposure to toxic fumes from
open-air burn pits in Iraq that were used to destroy waste
at U.S. bases.
Another study participant is Ryan Manion Borek, whose
brother, Marine Lt. Travis Manion, was killed in combat in
Iraq in 2007. Borek now heads a foundation named after her
brother, which seeks to assist veterans, as well as families
of fallen service members.
Borek expressed hope that the studys findings will
reflect the wide range of ways in which survivors respond to
the deaths of their loved ones.
We dont all fit into the same box, she said. Thats the
beauty of doing a study like this - we can begin to understand all the different ways people are dealing with their
loss.
A video produced by the research team conveys the
breadth of the study, featuring brief interviews with some of
the survivors who decided to participate.
They include a Marine Corps officer, Lisa Doring, whose
Marine husband died in a helicopter crash near their base in
Iraq; a mother whose only son, an Army private, was killed
by friendly fire in Afghanistan; and a couple whose son,
serving in the Coast Guard, committed suicide after what
they described as sustained bullying and harassment.
Of all the active-duty deaths in the period being studied,
about 13 percent were suicides. Accidents accounted for 35
percent, combat 30 percent, illness 15 percent and homicide 3 percent, according to Cozza.

BROWN
Continued from page 1
As of last year, nearly 25 percent of
Californias retail electricity came
from renewable energy, not including
large dams, the state energy commission said.
We must demonstrate that reducing
carbon is compatible with an abundant
economy and human well-being,
Brown said during his inauguration
speech. So far, we have been able to
do that.
Former Democratic Gov. Gray Davis,
who attended the ceremony, called
Brown a visionary who knows how to
balance the books. He praised the
environmental goals and said Brown
likely based the targets on achievable
science.
Even if the rhetoric is slightly
ahead of reality, hes always believed
that our reach should exceed our
grasp, Davis said.
Some environmental groups urged
Brown to go further and ban fracking
in California.
The oil and gas boom threatens to
undercut all the other progress that our
state may make on climate change,
said Kassie Siegel, a senior counsel on
climate issues for the Center for
Environmental Diversity, an environmental nonprofit.
A s t at e o i l -i n dus t ry g ro up ,
Wes t ern
St at es
Pet ro l eum
Association, said it was reviewing

the governors ambitious goals.

At 76, Brown is the states longestserving and the nations oldest governor. He served from 1975 to 1983
before term limits were implemented
and returned for his third term in 2011.
He defeated Republican challenger
Neel Kashkari in a landslide re-election victory in November.
Since his return as governor, Brown
has been credited with helping stabilize state finances. Californias general fund spending has grown 25 percent
in the past four years, fueled by a
statewide economic recovery and the
passage of a temporary tax increase.
Brown told the audience at his inauguration in the Assembly chamber that
California is at a crossroads for keeping its future golden. He explained that
he wants to reduce methane, black carbon and other pollutants as well as
manage farms, forests and wetlands to
absorb more carbon dioxide.
All of this is a very tall order, he
said. It means that we continue to
transform our electrical grid, our transportation system and even our communities.
Brown recalled his fathers first
inauguration in 1959 and said many
issues that Gov. Pat Brown raised
havent gone away, including discrimination; quality of education and the
challenge of recruiting and training
teachers; and a realistic water program.
He called for state employees to help
start prefunding retiree health obligations. He also urged Republicans and
Democrats to tackle the states infra-

Sheriffs Office Honor Guard), Deputy
Javier Acosta (Member of the Sheriffs
Office Community Policing) and
Deputy Doug Richardson (Member of
the Sheriffs Office Honor Guard) during
services for slain New York City police
Officer Wenjian Liu.
Department sent eight officers and the
Asian Peace Officers Association also
sent a group, police said.
Santa Clara police Lt. Todd Cummins

structure needs and implement education, health care and public safety
reforms.
Browns wife, Anne Gust Brown,
introduced her husband at the inauguration, saying his expansive mind and
committed heart make him an ideal
leader.
Hes someone that we know will
enthusiastically and creatively forge a
new and bold future for us, she said.
And yet, he will do so grounded
enough in wisdom of the past that we
wont drive off a cliff.
After the ceremony, the two shared a
plate of hot dogs at a celebration hosted by labor outside the building.
Brown made no mention of one of
his showcase proposals, a plan to run
two giant tunnels under Central
Californias San Joaquin Delta to ferry
water south to densely populated cities
such as Los Angeles.
Assembly Minority Leader Kristin
Olsen, R-Modesto, said she was disappointed that Brown had not yet put forward a plan to spur economic growth or
to ensure schools are preparing students for a 21st century economy.
Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins said
majority Democrats would like to see
Brown add funding for social services,
a comment that appeared to set up
some budget friction with members of
his own party. Brown indicated he will
continue to focus on debt service and
save for a rainy day.
Not all Californians have come
back from the recession, Atkins said
after Browns speech.
said the department was deeply saddened by the tragedy. The department
sent two representatives from its honor
guard, he said.
Its a different crime when someone
assassinates a police officer just
because theyre police officers,
Cummins said.
Rosenblatt said three officers volunteered to make the trek, with the airfare
paid by JetBlue. Decker said two of San
Mateos officers were also afforded the
opportunity by the airline and the
citys police officers association paid
for their lodging and food.
JetBlue representative Morgan
Johnston said the airline flew 1,146
officers from across the country to
attend Lius funeral.
We have a long history of supporting those who support our community, Johnston said. New York is our
home town, so we felt it was the right
thing to do.
Participants at the funeral described a
sea of blue, as thousands of officers
paid their respects.
I think despite how sad and troublesome this event is, there is something
to be said for seeing how the community of law enforcement has come to support each other, Rosenblatt said.
