City weighs behind-the-scenes needs
Redwood City starts planning for five years of infrastructure improvements
By Anna Schuessler
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
In an effort to plan for needed infrastruc-
ture improvements, Redwood City officials
are embarking on a five-year planning
process to gauge priorities and funding
sources for large-scale projects ranging
from sewer and stormwater pump rehabilita-
tion and undergrounding utility lines to
updating the citys financial management
software and downtown library facilities.
At its Jan. 23 meeting, councilmembers
reviewed the first steps on a five-year capi-
tal improvement program. Undertaken by
Public Works Director Ramana
Chinnakotla, the project is the first in sev-
eral years to fuel an expansive review of the
long-term facility and infrastructure
improvements across city departments and
prioritize projects against a backdrop of
available funding.
Long-term planning is just prudent when
youre dealing with larger projects, said
Mayor John Seybert. It allows you to be a
little bit more strategic as to how you fund
things that take more than one years worth
of funding to fund.
Chinnakotlas report grouped projects
submitted by departments into categories
indicating their urgency and alignment with
strategic city initiatives. Though his report
contained preliminary estimates, projects
included were related to city transportation,
sewers, technology and facilities, among
other areas, and totaled close to $300 mil-
lion across the next five years.
Because his report is preliminary,
Chinnakotla said there is room for projects
to drop from the list if they are not ready. He
also identified special parcel taxes for spe-
cific parts of the city or the whole city, issu-
ing bonds or an increase in sales tax as
some options the city may consider.

The planning process sheds light on
approaches city officials can use to priori-
tize large-scale projects. Vice Mayor Ian
Bain said he looks forward to the process,
which gives officials both an opportunity
to look farther into the future and address
needs identified through their conversa-
tions with the community.
The five-year process is to ensure some
continuity in the program, he said. Thats
when the residents really get to see their tax
dollars at work.
Bain is particularly excited about projects
such as an effort to move utility lines
beneath the surface of Middlefield Road,
which, among other enhancements, would
allow for wider sidewalks and trees. Advance
planning for this project gives the city and
county, both of which maintain sections of
the road, an opportunity to use some of the
same contractors and resources, which Bain
hopes will cut project costs.
An extended timeline also affords plan-
ners time to find the best window for certain
projects. Less urgent building projects may
be planned for years when construction
costs are lower, and multiple projects may
be coordinated so an area is not affected by
several projects simultaneously.
Its easier to be more strategic with when
you do work, said Seybert. So youre not
working in an area twice in five years.
Though the list of projects has grown
quickly, the question of how they will be
funded looms large.
Its a little bit of an art to match up how
the revenue comes in and what the priorities
are, said City Manager Melissa Stevenson
Diaz.

Neck Pain?
You dont have to suffer
A Half Inch Incision could equal
a lifetime of pain relief.
Explore minimally invasive spine
surgery at San Jose Neurospine.
The staff report identified an estimated
$143 million in existing funding sources
over the next five years to meet the total
cost of these projects, comprised of revenue
from the utility users tax, water and sewer
funds, parking fees, the gas tax, grants and
special assessment districts. Though the
city faces a large gap between expected rev-
enue and the total cost of the projects
scoped in this report, Diaz noted the fore-
sight of previous councils to put measures
like the utility users tax, which taxes resi-
dents use of resources like electricity and
natural gas, in place.
Theyve had the political courage to real-
ly steadily plan for things like water and
sewer systems, she said.
For Seybert, preserving this financial
foundation remains a priority.
Because great decisions were made
before, we get to do great things now, he
said. Because we have that stability of
funding, our infrastructure doesnt suffer
nearly as much during economic down-
turns.
Seybert said future discussions with the
community will determine how the city
makes up the difference.
It always is most difficult to prioritize
good projects versus other good projects,
said Seybert. Were not talking about any-
thing frivolous. [These are] all very, very
good solid projects. We will not run out of
project ideas.
The Redwood City Council is expected to
review recommendations for the capital
improvement process at an April meeting.

priority at traffic lights
Officials with the San Mateo
County Transit District said they
have received a $3.4 million grant
to install a system that will give
buses priority at traffic lights on
part of El Camino Real.
The system, called a Traffic
Signal Priority system, will extend
a green light for a bus or shorten the
time a bus waits at a light on El
Camino Real between the Daly City
BART Station and the Palo Alto
Caltrain Station.
A similar system was installed on
El Camino Real in Santa Clara
County.
San Mateo County Transit
District officials said the system
will result in a 10 percent increase
in on-time performance.
The SamTrans board of directors
will formally accept the grant at a
monthly meeting March 1.
A final design is expected to be
finished by June 30, 2018 and the
system could be operating in 2020
or 2021.
The grant was made by the San
Francisco-based Metropolitan
Transportation Commission.
Two arrested for
attempted armed robbery
Two people were arrested last
Saturday after allegedly trying to
rob at gunpoint a woman in a car
parked in a lot at the Edgewater
Place Shopping Center, according
to police.
At approximately 12:40 p.m.
Jan. 29, Foster City police
responded to the incident in which
the woman was sitting in her parked
car when someone approached her
window and demanded property,
according to police.
When she did not immediately
comply, a handgun was
pointed at her. She

license plate number which led to
the identification of Jason Mateo,
21, of Belmont, and a 17-year-old
Foster City boy, according to
police.
The next day, officers located the
vehicle used in the crime and found
the firearm, according to police.
Both were booked for attempted
robbery and conspiracy. Mateo was
also booked for contributing to the
delinquency of a minor, according
to police.
Two arrested for
thefts from vehicles
An arrest Wednesday of a Foster
City juvenile led to police linking
him and one other juvenile to 32
thefts from unlocked vehicles in
Foster City in January, according to
police.
At about 2:30 a.m. Feb. 1, Foster
City police received a call of two
people looking into cars on
Meridian Bay Lane and both fled on
foot when officers arrived. One sus-
pect, a 14-year-old boy, was found
in the Spinnaker Cove complex and
was in possession of property
stolen from the adjoining parking
lot as well as another theft from an
auto in Foster City in January,
according to police.
Officers determined the second
suspect was a 16-year-old boy from
San Mateo. Police there located
him driving a vehicle stolen from
Foster City last month and detec-
tives identified property stolen
from two earlier thefts. He admitted
to stealing the vehicle and the
items within, according to police.

Bay Area train system that would
also benefit the states high-speed

Members of the states GOP dele-
gation sent a letter asking the
Transportation Department to stop

trify a Caltrain line between San
Jose and San Francisco.
Future high-speed bullet trains
would need electrified rails.
The letter sent to Transportation
Secretary Elaine Chao asks for a
delay until an audit of the bullet
trains finances is completed.

State Democrats counter Trumps threat to defund
By Jonathan J. Cooper
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO The war of words esca-
lated Monday between Democratic leaders in
the nations biggest state and Donald Trump
after the Republican president said
California is out of control and suggested
withholding federal funding.
In separate statements Monday, the lead-
ers of the state Legislature pointed to
Californias massive economy and strong
job growth, saying the state provides criti-
cal contributions to the nation.
If this is what Donald Trump thinks is
out of control, Id suggest other states
should be more like us, said Assembly
Speaker Anthony Rendon, D-Paramount.
Trump criticized California during a Fox
News interview broadcast on Sunday.
California in many ways is out of control

OReilly asked if defunding is Trumps
weapon of choice, and the president
responded: I dont want to defund anybody.
I want to give them the money they need to
properly operate as a city or a state. If
theyre going to have sanctuary cities, we
may have to do that. Certainly that would be
a weapon.
California Senate President Pro Tem Kevin
de Leon said state residents contribute more
to federal coffers than their state gets in

would ripple nationwide.
President Trumps threat to weaponize

Lee praised the plan, which was first pro-
posed by Kim last year, as bold and vision-
ary.
Let me tell you, when our city works
together, we can accomplish great things,
he said.
While the plan to subsidize community
college tuition has the backing of the Board
of Supervisors and voters, who approved a
real estate transfer tax in November that
Kim put forward to help pay for the City
College plan, it very nearly didnt happen
in time for the coming school year.
After a sales tax measure intended to fund
homeless services and transportation
improvements that was also on the
November ballot failed, Lee introduced a
budget realignment plan that proposed to
hold back some of the real estate transfer tax
funds.

Appeals court weighs Trump
ban as travelers arrive to tears
By Eric Tucker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON The fierce battle over
President Donald Trumps travel and refugee
ban edged up the judicial escalator Monday,
headed for a possible final face-off at the
Supreme Court. Travelers, temporarily
unbound, tearfully reunited with loved ones
at U.S. airports.
The Justice Department filed a new defense
of Trumps ban on travelers from seven pre-
dominantly Muslim nations as a federal
appeals court weighs whether to restore the
administrations executive order. The
lawyers said the travel ban was a lawful
exercise of the presidents authority to pro-
tect national security and said a judges order
that put the policy on hold should be over-
ruled.
The filing with the San Francisco-based
9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals was the
latest salvo in a high-stakes legal fight sur-
rounding Trumps order, which was halted
Friday by a federal judge in Washington
state.
A randomly selected panel of appellate
judges is to hear arguments Tuesday.
The appeals court earlier refused to imme-
diately reinstate the ban, and lawyers for

challenging it argued anew Monday that
any resumption would unleash chaos
again, separating families and stranding
university students.
The Justice Department responded that the
president has clear authority to suspend the
entry of any class of aliens to the U.S. in
the name of national security. It said the
travel ban, which temporarily suspends the
countrys refugee program and immigration
from seven countries with terrorism con-
cerns, was intended to permit an orderly
review and revision of screening procedures
to ensure that adequate standards are in place
to protect against terrorist attacks.
The challengers of the ban, the Justice
Department wrote, were asking courts to
take the extraordinary step of second-guess-
ing a formal national security judgment
made by the president himself pursuant to
broad grants of statutory authority.
Whatever the appeals court decides, either
side could ask the Supreme Court to inter-
vene.
It could prove difficult, though, to find the
necessary five votes at the high court to
undo a lower court order; the Supreme Court
has been at less than full strength since
Justice Antonin Scalias death a year ago.
The last immigration case that reached the
justices ended in a 4-4 tie.
Trump says allow those into U.S.
who want to love our country
By Darlene Superville

MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla.
President Donald Trump vowed Monday to
allow only people who want to love our
country into the United States, defending
his immigration and refugee restrictions as
he made his first visit to the headquarters for
U.S. Central Command.
Trump reaffirmed his support for NATO
before military leaders and troops and laced
his speech with references to homeland
security amid a court battle over his travel
ban on people from seven majority-Muslim
countries. He did not directly mention the
case now before a federal appeals court after
a lower court temporarily suspended the
ban.
We need strong programs so that peo-
ple that love us and want to love our country
and will end up loving our country are
allowed in and those who want to destroy
us and destroy our country are kept out,
Trump said.

Protests complicate start of Trumps presidency
By Lisa Lerer

WASHINGTON Scrappy as ever, Donald
Trump on Monday dismissed polls showing
low approval ratings as fake news. But
whatever his opinion, active opposition to
his go-it-alone presidency appears to be
widening.
From corporate boardrooms to the halls of
Congress, Trump is facing an unprecedented
effort to disrupt even the most basic of his
presidential functions. Its an evolving,
largely grass-roots effort that aims to fol-
low Trump and his potential supporters
everywhere they go and there are early
signs that its having an impact.

outrage. There are plans for a mass moon-

whether those countries have fulfilled their

Israel passes new law

legalizing thousands
of settlement homes
By Tia Goldberg
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JERUSALEM Israels parliament on
Monday passed a contentious law meant to
retroactively legalize thousands of West
Bank settlement homes built unlawfully on
private Palestinian land, a step that is
expected to trigger international outrage
and a flurry of lawsuits against the measure.
The explosive law is the latest in a series
of pro-settler steps taken by Israels hard-
line government since the election of
Donald Trump as U.S. president. He is seen
as more sympathetic to Israels settlement
policies than his fiercely critical predeces-
sor, and the Israeli government has
approved plans to build thousands of new
homes on occupied territory since Trump
took office.
We are voting tonight on our right to the
land, Cabinet minister Ofir Akunis said
during a stormy debate
ahead of the vote. We are

Israeli leader presses U.K. to impose new sanctions on Iran

By Jill Lawless
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday urged
British Prime Minister Theresa May to fol-
low the American administration and
impose new sanctions on Iran over a recent
missile test.
The two leaders met at 10 Downing St. for
talks British officials tried to focus on
boosting trade ties between the two coun-
tries once Britain leaves
the European Union.
But as photographers
captured the start of the
meeting, Netanyahu told
May: Id like to talk to
you about how we can

sion does not go unan-
Theresa May swered.
Iran and Israel are bitter
enemies. Netanyahu vehemently opposes
the 2015 international agreement that
imposed curbs on Tehrans nuclear program
in exchange for lifting sanctions. Britain
backs the deal, which May has called
vital.
U.S. President Donald Trump, with whom
Mays government wants close ties, is also
a critic of the Iran deal. His administration
imposed new sanctions on more than two
dozen companies and individuals after
Tehran tested a ballistic missile last week.
In pointed remarks at the start of his
meeting with May, Netanyahu said he
wished other countries would follow the
U.S. lead.
Iran seeks to annihilate Israel, it seeks
to conquer the Middle East, it threatens
Europe, it threatens the West, it threatens
the world, he said. And it offers provoca-
tion after provocation.
Thats why I welcome President Trumps
assistance of new sanctions against Iran. I
think other nations should follow suit, cer-
tainly responsible nations.

European Central Bank head Around the world

warns on Trump deregulation push
FRANKFURT, Germany The head of the
European Central Bank expressed concern
about the Trump administrations moves to
relax financial oversight, saying such deregu-
lation helped pave the way for the global
financial crisis.
During a hearing in the European
Parliament, ECB President Mario Draghi was
asked about Trumps efforts to revisit parts of
the Dodd-Frank regulations aimed at keeping
risk-taking banks from sparking a repeat of
the 2007-9 financial turbulence that launched
the Great Recession.
Frankly, I dont see any reason to relax the
current regulatory stance which has produced a
much, much stronger banking and, gener-
ally, financial services industry than we
used to have before the crisis, Draghi said.
Draghi said that financial deregulation and
expansive monetary policy were exactly the
ground on which the financial crisis devel-
oped.
French presidential
hopeful Fillon refuses to drop out
PARIS Francois Fillon on Monday defi-
antly refused to drop out of the race to be
Frances next president despite an investiga-
tion into whether well-paid political jobs he
gave his wife, son and daughter were genuine,
a scandal that has knocked him from his perch
as favorite in the April-May voting.
The conservative politician who served as
prime minister from 2007 to 2012, the chief
workhorse under then-President Nicolas
Sarkozy, has long had a reputation as low-
key, reliable and standing for moral rectitude,
making the corruption scandal particularly
shocking to his party, supporters and the
French as a whole. On Monday, two weeks
after revelations first surfaced, he scrambled
to save his candidacy.
Seven percent of Australian
Catholic priests accused of abuse
SYDNEY Seven percent of priests in
Australias Catholic Church were accused of
sexually abusing children over the past sever-
al decades, a lawyer said Monday as officials
investigating institutional abuse across
Australia revealed for the first time the extent
of the crisis.
The statistics were released during the open-
ing address of a hearing of Australias Royal
Commission into Institutional Responses to
Child Sexual Abuse. The royal commission
which is Australias highest form of inquiry
has been investigating since 2013 how
the Catholic Church and other institutions
responded to the sexual abuse of children over
decades.

captured by the shoemaker whom the

column: The American divide
Editor,
Jonathan Madisons Jan. 31 column
The American divide is important and
timely. In this gem of a column,
Madison compares the energy and pas-
sion within our country to the work-
ings of a classic symphony orchestra,
which makes beautiful and inspiring
music when every component of the
orchestra is playing together.
In contrast, if each musician does
not understand that he or she is part of
a larger concert, the result is chaos.
Madison extends this analogy to our
country today.
As Americans, privileged to live in a
democracy, we have the opportunity to
move forward each day if we will take
the time to listen to each other and
work through our differences with jus-
tice and honesty.
Madison said: Our nations harmo-
ny resonates when we choose unity
over division, embrace collective opti-
mism over personal cynicism, value
differing opinions and, most impor-
tantly, when we listen to the concerns
of others rather than tuning them out
completely.
May we create a beautiful symphony
and togethermake the American dream
come true for ourselves and all the
world around us.

1939 refugees turned away
Editor,
In the year 1939, the German liner
MS St. Louis left Hamburg, Germany,
just before the start of World War II. On
board, were over 900 Jewish refugees
eeing persecution. At the helm was
Capt. Gustav Schroder who ordered the
passengers be treated well despite of-
cial German policy.
En route to the West and hopefully
refuge, the rules and visas were
changed (sound familiar?), the passen-
gers were denied entry to Cuba, the
United States and Canada. The ship had
to return to a hostile Europe and while
about 300 passengers were granted
safety in the U.K., the rest had to nd
places in continental Europe with over
250 ultimately falling victim to the
Holocaust once World War II started.
This was a black stain on our history
much as slavery, the treatment of the
Native Americans and Americans of
Japanese decent. Are we looking at this

The power of listening
O
f the many things we take for granted and under-
estimate, the power in our capacity to listen to
another without judgment or reservation is
among the greatest. This is in large part because of the
incredibly loud noise we create to crowd out the unwanted
voices of others. From our iPhones and iPads to televi-
sion and headphones, we have used technology to drown
out noise from our counterparts inhabiting the world
around us.
We choose to read the news headlines we agree with
rather than those that challenge our narrow way of think-
ing. We prefer news media that appeals to our respective
ideologies rather than opening our minds to different per-
spectives. This noise inevitably makes it impossible to
hear and understand others around us. History tells us that
we are merely repeating a bad habit human indifference
on a global scale.
Time and again, humanity has
failed to truly grasp the power
in valuing anothers voice, cry
and story. Consider the count-
less wars fought merely because
human beings could not recon-
cile listening to the concerns of
their counterparts or con-
stituents. The French
Revolution was born out of a
constituency that felt voiceless
to the ear of its leader, King
Louis XIV. After ignoring the
cries of rising ination, perva-
Jonathan Madison
sive disease and inescapable poverty, King Louis XIV and
his regime were violently overthrown by their unheard
constituents in the single bloodiest revolution in history,
amounting in the death of more than 40,000 thousand
people.
Consider a massacre that claimed the lives of almost 1
million people within 100 days the Rwandan genocide.
For four grueling months, hundreds were exterminated
every day because other nations would not heed the cries
of Rwandan citizens until the number of deaths reached
unprecedented levels.
For additional examples, look no further than
Bangladesh, East Timor and Cambodia in the 1970s,
Guatemala in the 1980s, Bosnia in the 1990s and most
recently in Sudan. In each instance, thousands, (and in
some cases hundreds of thousands), of individuals were
exterminated in large part because other nations failed and
in some cases, refused to listen to their cries.
The word listen is derived from the root word hlysnan,
which means to honor by giving another unmeasured
time, unreserved attention and space. Listening is our sin-
gle most powerful tool to enable others to express empa-
thy, compassion and love. Listening is key to one of the
single greatest virtues of the human spirit empathy. It
is the idea that, on some level, we can consciously discern
anothers state of being through solicitude the compas-
sionate concern for others.
I have never been more convinced that our societys
inability to listen to the concerns of others is the root
cause of many of the issues we face today. Of the many
who share my concern, I am pleased that two are amongst
us in San Mateo County Len and Libby Traubman.
The Traubmans have built their lifes work around creat-
ing dialogues to break ancient divisions between cultures
and communities that are seemingly impossible to sever. I
recently had the wondrous opportunity of joining more
than 100 people at San Mateos Martin Luther King Jr.
Community Center for the Traubmans most recent com-
munity dialogue Crossing Lines. The title exempli-
es the objective of the dialogue crossing the divisive
lines of age, culture, socioeconomic status, religion,
anger, bitterness and pain within our community.
Each of us were assigned the task of engaging an indi-
vidual we did not know for 30 minutes. The listeners were
not allowed to ask many questions giving the speakers
space to freely express their story and experiences with-
out interruption. I was honored to converse with the
retired founder of a Redwood City Library Foundation.
Within minutes, brief tears were exchanged between my
partner and I as she shared her story. After our exchange,
many of the participants shared their stories with the con-
gregation. I was astonished at what little I knew about the
people around me their trials, tribulations, victories
and defeats.
My takeaway from the event boils down to one simple
fact: No matter how vast our differences, the more we take
the initiative to listen to others, the more we realize that,
in large part, we are all the same. To embrace our similari-
ties over our differences, we must be willing to go beyond
our comfort zones and cross the lines that divide us. This
requires a belief that, together, vastly different individuals
can unite here in San Mateo County, our nation and the
world. That is the power of crossing lines.

Stocks close lower, snap S&Ps three-day streak

By Alex Veiga
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Energy companies led U. S.
stocks slightly lower Monday as
the price of crude oil declined,
snapping a three-day winning
streak for the Standard & Poors
500 index.
Phone company and real estate
stocks were also among the big
decliners. Technology and indus-
trial companies eked out tiny
gains.
Investors are continuing to
focus on company earnings
reports this week as they size up
the health of Corporate America.
With just over half of all the
companies in the S&P 500 having
reported quarterly results, most
have posted annual earnings
growth. But that hasnt been
enough to significantly move the
stock market, which remains at
near-record levels.
A lot of this earnings growth
were seeing now is already priced
in, said David Schiegoleit, man-
aging director at the Private Client
Reserve at U.S. Bank. It would
have to extend further in order to
push markets higher.

index slid 4.86 points, or 0.2 per-

Tech cos. take stand against
travel ban, risking backlash
By Mae Anderson
and Michael Liedtke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO Through a
Super Bowl ad, public statements and
court filings, Silicon Valleys biggest
companies are taking a strong stand
against President Donald Trumps trav-
el ban, saying high tech needs immi-
grants creativity and energy to stay
competitive.
Although the companies are risking
a backlash from customers who side
with Trump, they say the pushback is
necessary for an industry dependent on
thousands of highly skilled foreign
workers.
About 58 percent of the engineers
and other high-skill employees in
Silicon Valley were born outside the
U.S., according to the Silicon Valley
Leadership Group, an industry trade
group.
Immigration and innovation go
hand in hand, said Carl Guardino, the
groups CEO. This cuts so deeply into
the bone and marrow of what fuels the
innovation economy that very few
CEOs feel the luxury of sitting on the
sidelines. So people are going to stand
up and speak up.
The tech industry contends there
arent enough Americans with the spe-
cialized skills these companies need.
Though critics contend that companies
favor immigrants because they can pay
them less, tech companies argue that
the ban would pressure them to move
some operations abroad.
A lot of these companies will really
struggle if all of a sudden we turn off
the spigot, said Greg Morrisett, dean
of computing and information sci-
ences at Cornell University.
In a court filing Sunday against the
ban, 97 companies, including such
major tech players as Google, Apple,
Microsoft, eBay, Netflix, Facebook
and Twitter, also spoke of the entrepre-
neurial spirit of people who choose
to leave everything that is familiar and
journey to an unknown land to make a
new life.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai and
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella both
came from India. Google co-founder
Sergey Brin is a Russian refugee who
moved to the U.S. as a boy. The father
of Apples late co-founder, Steve Jobs,
immigrated from Syria.
The Silicon Valley Leadership Group
estimates that half the companies in
the region were co-founded by an
immigrant or are now led by a CEO
from outside the U.S.
In signing an executive order Jan. 27
that would temporarily ban people
from seven Muslim-majority coun-
tries, Trump said he was trying to pro-
tect Americans by preventing terror-
ists from slipping into the country.
The administration says the president
has the constitutional authority to
decide who can enter.
During the Super Bowl, several com-
panies ran ads that promoted diversity
and inclusion, as marketers tried to
reach both sides of a consumer base
roiled by the election.
One of the most overtly political
was from Airbnb, a company that
matches travelers with places to stay.

Fighting fake news isnt just up to Facebook, Google

By Barbara Ortutay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK You, too, can join the
battle against misleading and other
fake news online. But your options
are somewhat limited unless youre
already an academic or data scientist
whos been studying the subject since
way before Donald Trump started run-
ning for president.
Giovanni Luca Ciampaglia, a
research scientist at Indiana University,
fits that bill. He helped create a tool
tracking how unsubstantiated claims
spread online, a phenomenon that first
caught his eye during the Ebola crisis in
2014.
We started seeing a lot of content
that was spreading, completely fabri-
cated claims about importations of
Ebola, (such as) entire towns in Texas
being under quarantine, he says.
What caught our attention was that
these claims were created using names
of publications that sounded like news-
papers. And they were getting a lot of
traction on social media.
Fake news, which has gotten a lot
of attention for its potential role in
swaying the 2016 presidential elec-
tion, has fascinated researchers for
some time. Their studies have yielded
tools that help track how alternative
facts spread, and others that let you
identify fake stories or block them alto-
gether.
Some of these are still baby steps in
dealing with the phenomenon, but
theyre part of a larger effort that now
involves Facebook , Google and big
media companies actively trying to
tamp down the spread of fake stories.
And the researchers were there first.
Tanushree Mitra, a doctoral student at
the Georgia Institute of Technology,
began a project three years ago to see
how misinformation and fake news
spread through Twitter. At the time, she
says, companies like Facebook and
Twitter were not paying much atten-
tion.
What attracted her to the project was
the prevalence of fake news that spread
online following natural disasters such
as Superstorm Sandy in 2012. When
she saw that people were sharing a lot
of incorrect or misleading information
about the events, Mitra decided to track
both big stories and smaller rumors
with the goal of creating an app that
could help ordinary people sort fact
from fiction so they can make decisions
that could be crucial to their wellbeing.
Mitra and her fellow researchers
scanned 66 million tweets linked to
nearly 1,400 real-world events to iden-
tify words and phrases linked to per-
ceived levels of credibility.

Shanahan officially named 49ers head coach

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA The San Francisco
49ers officially hired Atlanta offensive
coordinator Kyle Shanahan as their new
head coach on Monday, more than a month
after firing Chip Kelly after just one season.
The 49ers settled on Shanahan a couple
weeks ago but had to wait until after the
Falcons played in the Super Bowl to sign
him to a contract. Shanahan will be formal-
ly introduced at a news
conference later this
week.
Shanahan is the son of
two-time Super Bowl
winning head coach
Mike Shanahan, who
also won a title as offen-
sive coordinator in San
Kyle Shanahan Francisco in 1994. The
younger Shanahan
served as a ball boy then but now will be
tasked along with new general manager
John Lynch with rebuilding a team that just
matched the worst record in franchise histo-
ry with a 2-14 mark, leading to the dis-
missal of Kelly and general manager Trent
Baalke.
As a young man, I had the unique benefit
of being exposed to the storied history of
the San Francisco 49ers firsthand,
Shanahan said in a statement. From that
exposure, I developed great respect for
those who created a world-class, champi-
onship standard. As this team begins the
task of re-establishing that standard, I could
not ask for a better partner than John
Lynch. He is a man who certainly has per-
sonal knowledge of what championship
organizations look like. John and I look
forward to establishing a strong culture that
will serve as our foundation for constructing
this team.

Cap football coach Ben White steps down

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
For the second time in his 23-year
career as a high school football head
coach, Ben White is navigating away
from San Mateo County.
Most recently the varsity head coach
at Capuchino from 2014-16, White
announced he will resign his post as
coach and teacher at the end of the
school year in June to take over the
football team at Orosi High School in
Orosi, California, a small Division VI
program 40 miles southeast of Fresno.
In addition to his three years at
Capuchino, White coached at South
City from 1994-2001, at Carlmont
from 2002-04 and Exeter High School
in Exeter, California from 2005-13.
I just want to get back to the valley,
back to where football is king, where
its a lot cheaper to raise a family,
White said. I like Cap but, just for my
family, this is a better situation.
White was hired at Orosi within days
of the varsity head coaching position
opening up. Frank Manquero, who
served as the Cardinals head coach for
the previous two years, was recruited
as an assistant coach at College of the
Sequoias, according to Orosi principal
Roberto Vaca.
The job was officially posted last
Wednesday, with White among nine
candidates to interview for the posi-
tion. After interviewing with two pan-
els, White was a unanimous selection,

also played on two club teams
together. The first was when they
were 9, for Road Runners out of
East Palo Alto. Most recently, the
two played for the Wolf Pack, a
team coached by LeBlancs father,
NJai Sr., over the previous three
summers.
Were like brothers, Norton
said.
Nortons brother lit it up in the
first meeting between M-A and
Sequoia two weeks ago, going on a
first-half 3-point spree en route to
scoring a game-high 22 points.
This time around, however, it was
Nortons turn.
With M-A juniors Jhavante Hill
and Logan Faberowski tasked with
guarding LeBlanc, Norton still was
an impact on defense, totaling six
rebounds and four steals. But, so far
as the Bears were concerned, the
most important numbers Norton
accrued through the opening eight
minutes of regulation were two
first-quarter fouls, causing him to
sit the final three minutes of the
period.
With Sequoia leading 21-18
heading into the second quarter,
Molieri gambled by putting
Norton back on the floor. It turned
out to be a clutch decision.
I think there was a mindset that
I still had to be more aggressive
and I had to be more careful with my
fouls, Norton
said. So I had
to play more
cautiously and
had to be more
focused offen-
sively.
Norton exe-
cuted, opening
Eric Norton the period with
a 3-pointer,
then going on to get extensively
fouled himself, scoring an and-1
and converting four straight free
throws to tally 10 consecutive
points for the Bears. The seniors
hot hand escalated into a 19-0 run
for M-A that would have closed out
the half if not for LeBlanc hitting a
3-pointer from half court at the
halftime buzzer.
In the second half, M-A turned up
the defensive intensity, especially
via the full-court press. It was more
a battle of wills than a battle for
possessions, as M-A preferred to
turn up the tempo, while Sequoia
was trying to settle it down.
Sequoia tried to slow the game
down but we dont like to slow the
game down, Norton said. We like
to speed the game up. So we started
trapping and Sequoia started get-
ting frustrated.
With the win, M-A put itself in
prime position to earn a berth in
the Central Coast Section Open
Division playoffs for the second
straight year, as opposed to its nat-
ural Division-I standing. And if the
win over Sequoia wasnt proof
enough the Bears can contend in
the Open, their non-league victory
the very next day over Palo Alto
certainly opened some eyes.
Palo Alto is currently ranked No.
32 in the state of California,
according to MaxPreps.com, and
ran away with the Santa Clara
Valley-DeAnza League champi-
onship this season, having gone
unbeaten through nine league
games thus far while having
already clinched the title.
Even on the heals of an emo-
tionally taxing win the evening
prior, M-A stepped up Saturday to
enjoy a commanding 58-46 win
over the Vikings. Norton again
was money, totaling 22 points, six
assists, four rebounds and two
steals.
A lot of people are questioning
me playing top teams on back-to-
back nights, Molieri said. Its on
me, but come tournament time,
were going to have to play back-
to-back nights.
But Norton and company know
whats at stake. And after falling in
the first round of last years CCS
Open Division bracket, the Bears
are largely reinvented from a 2015-
16 team that graduated four starters.
Norton the 2015-16 PAL South
Division Most Valuable Player
is the only returning regular. And
he and his teammates are gearing
up for a deeper CCS run this season.
It was a really good opportunity
(to play Palo Alto) because this was
going to punch our ticket to CCS
Open, Norton said. And we want-
ed to take on that challenge.

Edelman collects on crazy catch
By Eddie Pells
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON You could say the
Super Bowl owed em one. Julian
Edelman was the man to collect.
The Patriots receiver made a catch for
both the highlight reels and the histo-
ry books Sunday a once-in-a-life-
time grab that pushed New Englands
record-setting Super Bowl comeback
into overdrive, and one every bit as
amazing as what David Tyree of the
Giants did nine years earlier to break
all those Patriots hearts.
Edelmans catch was the highlight of
New Englands 91-yard drive that tied the
game near the end of regulation on the way
to a 34-28 overtime win over Atlanta.
Edelman the pride of Woodside High
School somehow got his red-gloved
hands pinned up against, and then under-
neath, a Tom Brady pass that bounced off
Atlanta cornerback Robert Alfords
hands, hit off his knee, his shin. It
almost fell to the turf. Only it didnt.

award, again, one more than Montana,
is merely icing on the cake.
As sacrilegious as it may be to nearly
every 49ers fan outside of the Serra
community, Montanas claim to the
Greatest Of All Time title was precarious
after Brady won his fourth ring.
Montana fans constantly point to the
fact Montana was undefeated in four
Super Bowls and never threw an inter-
ception.
But if the ultimate goal is to win the
game, no one has done it better than
Brady, as Sundays performance proved.
Hes done it ve times and has been in
what is arguably the world of sports
biggest event seven times. Seven! That
number is almost unfathomable. I high-
ly doubt anyone will approach either of
those numbers any time soon.
Adding to Bradys lore is the fact he
has done it in the era of free agency and
the salary cap, with a revolving cast of
talent around him. Brady wasnt throw-
ing to Jerry Rice and Taylor. He was
throwing to Deion Branch, Wes Welker
and Chris Hogan.
Brady hasnt had running backs like

is the quintessential example of making
others around him better.
And much like Montana was paired
with Bill Walsh, Brady works with one
of the all-time greatest coaches in NFL
history in Bill Belichick, who you
could argue has accomplished more on
the eld than Walsh has. I know, I
know. Blasphemy. (And before you
write your emails, I recognize that
Walsh has done more for the game than
Belichick in terms of revolutionizing
the sport.)
There is the playing in different
eras debate, or the the Patriots cheat
line of reasoning but, to me, the only
thing that matters are two numbers that
put Brady over the top: ve Super Bowl
titles and seven Super Bowl appear-
ances.
And the scary thing is, Brady has a
chance to appear in, and win, a couple
more Super Bowls.

24 win over the Seattle Seahawks in
Super Bowl XLIX, Edelman will be
remembered for catching the game-win-

Sunday, his catch made the Super

Amid a scrum of players mostly
wearing Atlanta Falcons jerseys
Edelman managed to catch the ball
inches off the ground as it pinballed
around before bouncing off a defenders
shin. The Patriots would go on to score
the game-tying touchdown and two-

Edelman, a seventh-round draft pick
out of Kent State in 2009, had 69 catch-

last four, he has two 100-catches sea-

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, right, argues with NBA referee
Eric Lewis Jan. 16 against the Cavaliers at Oracle Arena.
Kerr levied $25K fine for
outburst in Sacramento
By Janie McCauley
OAKLAND Warriors coach Steve Kerr is sorry he swore
more than once at a referee. He knows how hard that
job must be.
Kerr was fined $25,000 by the NBA on Monday for his
outburst directed at official Bill Spooner late in the third
quarter of Golden States three-point overtime loss at
Sacramento on Saturday night.
I knew I was going to get fined. I deserve it, Kerr said
Monday.
The reigning NBA Coach of the Year yelled profanities
and was held back on the court by assistant coach Mike
Brown during the 109-106 defeat. He became irate after a
pair of loose ball fouls on Kevon Looney 18 seconds apart,
pointing and gesturing in Spooners direction.
Kerr said he had apologized to Spooner through NBA
executive vice president of basketball operations Kiki
VanDeWeghe and would do so in person the next time
Spooner is assigned to work the Warriors.
I used inappropriate words. I deserved to be fined. I apol-
ogized to Bill Spooner through Kiki yesterday. Next time I
see him Ill apologize. It was totally inappropriate and I
deserve to be fined, Kerr said. It didnt surprise me how I
angry I was but the word choice was very poor.
The league said Kerr was verbally abusive to officials and
failed to leave the court in a timely manner following his
ejection with 3:34 left in the period.
Golden State initially got a spark from Kerr going crazy,
but it didnt last and the Warriors had one of their worst
games yet. They still lead the league at 43-8.

Not guilty plea from man who
shot ex-NFL player Joe McKnight
GRETNA, La. The man who fatally shot
former NFL player Joe McKnight formally
pleaded not guilty Monday to a second-
degree murder charge.
Ronald Gasser, 55, of Terrytown, had ini-
tially been arrested on a manslaughter charge
following McKnights Dec. 1 death. Last
week, he was indicted on a second-degree
murder charge, which carries a mandatory life
sentence. Hes jailed on $750,000 bond.
It was a case of justifiable homicide,
defense attorney Gerard Archer said.
Authorities have said the 28-year-old
McKnight, who was black, and Gasser, who
is white, were driving erratically and yelling
at each other prior to the shooting. The con-
frontation took place as they were traveling
over the Mississippi River on a heavily
traveled bridge that links downtown New
Orleans to its west bank and adjoining sub-
urbs in neighboring Jefferson Parish.
Authorities said the shooting happened
after both cars had stopped ant McKnight
approached Gassers vehicle. Gasser shot

he helped the Falcons post a league-high
33.8 points per game in the regular season
and return to the Super Bowl for the second
time in franchise history.
That ended in disappointment after
Atlanta blew a 28-3 lead to New England and
lost 34-28 in overtime. Shanahan came
under criticism for his play-calling in the
fourth quarter.
He called a deep drop back on a third-and-
1 that led to a sack and fumble that sparked
the Patriots comeback and then with Atlanta
in field-goal range to make it a two-posses-
sion game late, Shanahan again passed up
on the opportunity to run, leading to a sack
and a holding penalty.
Those were rare blots on an otherwise
stellar season as a play-caller that led Lynch
to call him the catch of the head coaching
cycle. San Francisco was the last of six
teams to hire a coach this offseason.
As an offensive mind, I think he stands
alone in the National Football League, as

The 37-year-old Shanahan becomes the
third youngest coach in franchise history.
Jack Christiansen was 34 when he was hired
in 1963 and Frankie Albert was 36 when he
coached his first game in 1956.
Shanahan got his first NFL job as an
offensive quality control coach in Tampa
Bay in 2004. He also served as an offensive
coordinator in Houston, Washington and
Cleveland before arriving in Atlanta last
season.

Vaca.
White said the cultural difference of the
area Orosi is located in Tulare County
is there are no issues with players transfer-
ring to other schools, something that is
epidemic in San Mateo County.
You dont have to worry about guys
transferring here or there, going to private
school or anything like that, White said.
Theres no place for them to go.
White is optimistic Cap will be in a good
place next season. White said Capuchino
has yet to name a new coach. Capuchino
athletic director Matt Wilson could not be
reached for comment.
Theyre going to be good, White said.
Im handing over my program on a silver
platter. This is like a CCS or bust team.
A Belmont native and 1986 graduate of
Carlmont, White currently resides in
Belmont with his wife Frances and his two
children Kaitlyn, 11, and Michael, 9. They
will relocate in the summer, when Whites
contract is up at Capuchino.
According to Vaca, Whites acumen as a
teacher was another point in his favor. He
will teach social studies full time in addi-
tion to running the varsity team at Orosi.
I know we interviewed for a football head
coach but, in the process, we were inter-
viewing for a teacher, and even there he rose
to the top, Vaca said. So I got a whole

Depression hits when soccer career ends
By Rob Harris
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON On the training pitches at
Arsenal is where Jason Brown feels at peace.
Coaching academy players, the retired goal-
keeper feels unburdened of the mental
anguish.
This is my distraction, Brown, who
played internationally for Wales and in the
Premier League for Blackburn, told The
Associated Press. I honestly feel if I didnt
have this distraction (at Arsenal) I might not
be having this conversation with you right
now.
Instead, Brown is hoping to combat any
stigma still attached to those in soccer with
mental health issues by speaking out about
the depression that struck as his playing
career came to an end in 2015.
Like many professional athletes, Brown
reveled in the adulation of fans in packed sta-
diums and the elevated status he held in the
local community. He also craved the structure
in his life: Training, rest, matches.
As silly and naive as it might sound you
never think there is going to be an end, the
34-year-old Brown recalled. You never
think when you retire what it is going to be
like.

Jason Brown, seen here playing for Wales,
suffered from depression after his playing
career came to an end in 2015.
ical issues mounted for a player who said he
previously never encountered symptoms dur-
ing his professional career.
I suffer from depression and its nothing
to be embarrassed about, Brown states
frankly. Ill never be cured.
Now it is about trying to cope. A few
months ago Brown felt he could not while in
his car on a motorway near London.
That probably the lowest I was ... the first
real time that I made an attempt to actually,
where I considered just killing myself,
Brown said. I was so down. I was driving
along the M1 and I put my foot down and I
didnt take my foot off. And I then I realized
movie Invictus.
Uncommonly tall for a
scrumhalf, standing over
6 feet (1.82 meters), Van
der Westhuizen was fast
and attack-minded, but
also a bruiser who rel-
ished the physical con-
frontation of rugby. His
Joost van der 89 tests and 38 tries for
Westhuizen South Africa were both
national records when he
retired in 2003.
He captained his country in 10 tests and
played at three World Cups. In all, he played
111 games in Springbok green and gold.
Told by doctors in 2011 that MND might
kill him within two years, Van der
Westhuizen responded: Stuff them. I will
decide when I go.
He used a wheel chair in his last years and
dedicated himself to his young children and
J9 foundation that helps MND sufferers.
that its not only me I that I am going to be
hurting but possibly others. That was a real
low, low day my life.
It was also part of an acceptance that he
needed professional help . Then sitting with
his counsellor in October, came a profound and
important moment in his post-playing life.
It sounds crazy. I still had the mentality, I
am a footballer, Brown said. It didnt sink
and one day it did sink in, sitting with my
counsellor ... and I realized I am no longer a
football player anymore. It was quite surreal
because all I have known and seen myself as
is a football player.
Brown isnt alone. Its just that few foot-
ballers feel comfortable publicly discussing
depression or even seeking help in private.

ing about mental health problems is not a

emotional side of things.
Welsh players including Brown had to deal
with the distress of national team manager

The 30-year-old Wynne is an 11-year MLS

Enke ended his life by stepping in front of a
train.
We as football have a duty of care, said
Bennett, whose union backed the
(hash)TimetoTalk Day in Britain last week.
We spend a lot of time on the physical
aspects of things for the players. I think we
need to spend more time on the emotional
side. If a player has emotional issues it does-
nt matter how fit they are mentally, if they
are not in the right place they cant perform.
And times are changing. Bennett points to
the outpouring of support and sympathy last
year for the survivors of sexual abuse he
helped. They received private counselling
through the PFA, and support in their deci-
sion to waive their anonymity to raise aware-
ness of the crimes going on football and the
suffering of victims.
Brown has a message for active and retired
footballers needing help with their emotion-
al wellbeing and coping with life after their
playing careers end.
Dont feel that you are weak. It makes you
far from weak, Brown said. Someone who
is willing to admit they have a problem is
stronger than any type of person who is
preparing for a competition.
With my depression what Im trying to
make people aware of is: Dont be ashamed.
There are more people who have depression

House GOP facing tough

confronted Republican lawmakers at sepa-
rate town halls in California and Florida,
fearful of the GOP promise to repeal former
President Barack Obamas health care law
without a comprehensive alternative.

By Alan Fram
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Republicans insisted
Monday that theyre moving ahead on their
effort to void the health care law, even as
President Donald Trumps latest remarks
conceded that the effort could well stretch
into next year.
Maybe it will take till sometime into
next year, but we are certainly going to be in
the process, Trump said in an interview
with Fox News Bill OReilly that was
broadcast Sunday. While saying he expected
something fairly soon, he added, I would
like to say by the end of the year, at least the
rudiments. But we should have something
within the year and the following year.
The comments come as congressional
Republicans continue laboring to deliver on
a promise theyve been making for years:
that they will repeal President Barack
Obamas 2010 health care overhaul and
replace it with an alternative.
They also come as constituents support-
ing Obamas law have made life uncomfort-
able back home for some Republican law-
makers. Reps. Tom McClintock, R-Calif.,
and Gus Bilirakis, R-Fla., faced pointed
questions from voters in recent days in
scenes reminiscent of 2009, when tea party
some forms of income including lottery
winnings used to determine if they quali-
fy for Medicaid, the health program for low-
income people.
Republicans pushed back Monday against
the notion that their work was slowing.
Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, chairman of the
Senate Finance Committee, said there were
relatively minor differences among
Republicans and dismissed what he said
were reporters efforts to manufacture divi-
sions in the party. I have little doubt that
we can work through whatever differences do
exist and, more importantly, I think we
will, he said on the Senate floor.
House Ways and Means Chairman Kevin
Brady, R-Texas, said he was sticking to the
deadline set by House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-
Wis., to pass an initial bill by late March
repealing and replacing parts of the statute.
Were continuing on a good, deliberate,
pretty steady pace, Brady told reporters.
Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., a member of the
Senate Finance Committee, said he thinks
Congress will enact legislation this year,
though it would take a couple of years for
the new law to be implemented.
Republicans have called health care their
top priority. Trump said in January that the
measure was nearly finished and would be
ready soon.
Saint Peters blog and other news organiza-
tions echoed the angry town halls that
Democrats faced in 2009 as Obama pressed
for passage of his sweeping law. With the
Trump administration support for scrap-
ping the law, the Republican campaign to
overturn it is no longer a political exercise
to be stopped by Democrats and Obama but
rather a reality.
Republicans have repeatedly said the law
is a costly disaster with rising costs.
Democrats say the GOP effort will threaten
health cares availability and raise rates,
angering the 20 million people who gained

to help curb gentrification prompted in part
by an astronomical job growth of high-pay-
ing jobs. That partnership announced in
December, included $500,000 for a tenant
assistance fund divvied out by CLSEPA.
CLSEPA and its community partners have
been some of San Mateo Countys strongest
proponents for battling the consequences of
the rising cost of housing. Their multi-
pronged approach combines legal represen-
tation and community advocacy work. Its
also included controversial efforts to enact
tenant protections which included two cit-
izens initiatives last November when San
Mateo and Burlingame voters considered rent
control and just cause eviction measures.
Along the Peninsula and throughout the
Bay Area, were facing an unprecedented dis-
placement crisis, said Daniel Saver, a hous-
ing attorney with CLSEPA. The housing
crisis has now reached a fever pitch and it is
affecting families and individuals all across
the socioeconomic spectrum.
Whether its a friend, a neighbor, a col-
league or their childs teacher, Saver said
many now know someone affected by the
housing crisis. And its perhaps the growing
expanse of who is at risk thats prompting
people to take notice.
If Silicon Valley wants to retain some of
the diversity that makes it such a strong
region, we need to make sure it doesnt
become a gated community for the really
wealthy and that means we need to keep
some of the folks here who have helped
make it such a vibrant place, Saver said.
Furthermore, keeping people particu-

is now at 173 percent of normal.
But will it be enough to break Californias
dry spell that prompted unprecedented action
by the state including Gov. Jerry Browns
2014 drought declaration and water officials
initiating landmark mandatory conservation
regulations?
Whether it will end the drought, only the
governor can declare that. But absolutely,
every bit helps to get out of the rain deficit
weve been in the past four years, Anderson
said.
Critical decisions about whether
Californians should still consider them-
selves in an emergency are expected to
coincide with this weeks storm.
On Wednesday, Feb. 8, the State Water
Resources Control Board will vote on
whether to extend drought-related emergency
regulations initially prompted by the gover-
nors 2014 actions.
Staff recommends the board maintain regu-
lations until at least the end of spring when

larly children who are able to attend quality
local schools in their homes can have
lasting effects on future generations, he
said.
The nonprofit legal aid group is slated to
receive the money over the course of three
years and anticipates it will enable them to
assist nearly 2,500 more residents. They
also plan to hire five new attorneys as well
as divvy out funding to community advocacy
groups such as Faith In Action Bay Area and
Youth United for Community Action. Their
efforts will include helping clients achieve
financial stability and tend to immigration
issues as a holistic approach to addressing
interrelated issues, he said.
Saver said CLSEPA has been in discus-
sions with the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative
for nearly a year. But he emphasized the
money was given flexibly meaning the
Facebook founder and his wife werent
explicitly endorsing some of the controver-
sial policies CLSEPA has been involved
with such as rent stabilization. Still, the
support helped vindicate their work, he
noted.
Were proud to accept this money from
CZI in part because we think it demonstrates
some recognition of the impact our work has
had up until now and were grateful theyre
willing to support us in moving that work
forward, Saver said.
Plouffe, who managed former President
Barack Obamas 2008 campaign and also
served as the presidents senior advisor and
later as Ubers senior vice president of
Policy and Strategy, before joining the
Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, wrote the non-
are urging officials to drop the emergency
declaration arguing drenched areas of the
state have rebounded.
Until last year, communities across
California faced different conservation
orders with most receiving mandatory cut-
backs for nearly two years. In San Mateo
County, residents were required to cut back
between 8 percent and 32 percent depending
upon historic usage.
But in a nod to improved hydrological con-
ditions, the board lifted mandatory rationing
last June for water suppliers that had enough
supplies to withstand several years of
drought.
Locally, that meant nearly all of San Mateo
County and those reliant on the San
Francisco Public Utilities Commissions
Hetch Hetchy Reservoir System returned to
just voluntary cutbacks.
However, the emergency declaration
remains and residents can still face fines of
up to $500 for wasting water such as by
irrigating landscape immediately after rain-
fall or letting sprinklers run into storm
drains, board spokesman George Kostyrko
said in an email.
Extending the emergency regulations slat-
ed to expire at the end of this month is key to
providing an umbrella of enforcement for
urban water suppliers who follow up on com-
plaints of water wasters, he said.
Furthermore, although nearly 342 out of
410 water districts do not currently have
mandatory regulations, there are areas of
California that remain at risk. Kostyrko
pointed to Santa Barbaras reservoir, which
is less than 15 percent full, and the states
Office of Emergency Services having deliv-
ered bottled water to Central Valley residents
weekly for the last three years.
So the drought is not over in some parts
of the state, he said.

profit was proud to support CLSEPA and the
Terner Center in their efforts.
While we recognize there is no single
approach to solving the Bay Areas housing
crisis, its clear that we need to both increase
the availability of affordable housing, and
help families stay in their homes and neigh-
borhoods. These grants will support those
working to help families in immediate crisis
while supporting research into new ideas to
find a long-term solution a two-step strat-
egy that will guide much of our policy and
advocacy work moving forward, Plouffe
wrote.
Saver agreed curbing displacement will
require a varied approach but noted how
influential providing legal assistance can be
to those at risk. Although a single grant
wont resolve the extensive housing crisis,
Saver noted he hopes more organizations
and people join them in striving to preserve
a diverse community.
This support is going to enable us to
keep up that fight and to ratchet up the inten-
sity of that fight. We know that this work
trying to stop displacement is critical, we
know that it is time sensitive; the more days
that go by the more folks are forced our of
our community, Saver said. Were willing
to work with folks who want to step up to
the plate and do the right thing whether
theyre on the corporate side, philanthrop-
ic, government, you name it. I think were
also prepared when local government or cor-
porations have negative impacts on our
community and arent willing to be a good
neighbor, were willing to step up to the
plate and hold them accountable.
This weeks action would allow officials to
postpone calling off the drought until theres
a fuller picture of the states hydrology later
in the year.
But many water providers argue continuing
to classify it as an emergency despite
improved conditions is actually a disservice
to maintaining customers confidence, said
Nicole Sandkulla, CEO of the Bay Area Water
Supply and Conservation Agency, or
BAWSCA.
Representing those who purchase whole-
sale water from the SFPUC, Sandkulla argued
officials should parse drought-related rules
by region, not on a statewide basis.
Currently, only three of BAWSCAs mem-
ber agencies have mandatory cutbacks
Daly City at 4 percent, Sunnyvale at 5 per-
cent, and just 2 percent for California Water
Supply Companys Bear Gulch District that
includes Atherton, Portola Valley and por-
tions of Menlo Park. She noted the SFPUCs
Hetch Hetchy Reservoir system was 90 per-
cent full as of last week, significantly higher
than the normal 78 percent for this time of
year.
Although a strong proponent of conserva-
tion as a way of life, Sandkulla contends
the state should drop the emergency for
regions that have flush supplies.
We supported the emergency regulations
and the governors call of a drought while we
were in that drought situation, but the current
rainfall and snowpack have removed us from
a drought, Sandkulla said, adding BAWSCA
supports permanent prohibitions against
wasting water, but the customer gets con-
fused when you say youre doing this because
of emergency regulations and its hard when
you look out the window and it doesnt look
like a drought. It questions our integrity as
water suppliers.

Covered California enrolls 368,000 new customers

By Jonathan J. Cooper
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO The number of people
signing up for a Covered California health
plan is down in the first enrollment period
since President Donald Trump was elected
with a pledge to repeal his predecessors
signature health care law, figures released
Monday show.
Just over 386,000 new people signed up
for coverage through the health insurance
marketplace created under the Affordable
Care Act. Including people who later backed
out, 412,000 people selected a health plan
this year, down from 439,000 during last
years enrollment period, said James
Scullary, a spokesman for Covered
California.
Despite the lower year-over-year enroll-
ment, participation matched projections,
Scullary said. Officials expect the number
of new enrollments to diminish over time as
more uninsured people get health coverage,
he said.
Total enrollment will top 1.5 million if
all existing customers, who are automati-
cally re-enrolled, continue paying their pre-
miums. Costs are higher this year for most
re-enrolling customers after insurers raised

average.
About 37 percent of new enrollees were
enroll consumers in large numbers and with
a good mix of younger and older, which
helps keep rates down for everyone and
keeps the entire individual market stable,
Executive Director Peter Lee said in a state-
ment.
Covered California faces an uncertain
future as Trump and Republicans in
Congress explore options to repeal the
Affordable Care Act. They have not yet coa-
lesced around a replacement plan, and Trump
recently said it may take until 2018 to do
so.
Officials in California used an aggressive
advertising and outreach campaign to
encourage people to sign up despite the
laws uncertainty, noting that the law has
not changed and substantial subsidies
remain available for lower- and middle-
income individuals and families.

nt know what or where North Fair Oaks is pies emanating from the edges of the wall. Mary Martinez, Fair Oaks Community

MURAL
Continued from page 1
est mural is helping the community send a
vital message.
Especially in these times, in light of
what happened this weekend, for example,
it feels so urgent to show support for peo-
ple that are different from you or look dif-
ferent from you, he said. We all belong
here, no matter what.
For the past three weeks, Berry has
primed, taped, sprayed and painted the wall
of the building housing Trapline Products
at 2890 Fair Oaks Ave. , reflecting the
sense of belonging he has felt from com-
munity leaders, residents and students in
North Fair Oaks as his project has blos-
somed.
The 42-year-old San Francisco artist has
a range of experience with large-scale,
public art, from commercial billboards to
improving streetscapes with brightly-col-
ored murals in his work with the San
Francisco Arts Commissions
StreetSmARTS program. But he didnt
know much about North Fair Oaks before
he saw an open call for murals in the area
last summer. As he researched the neigh-
borhood, he was intrigued by an article
quoting an artist and resident Kent Manske
on how the average Bay Area resident does-
located.
Thats been my experience as well since
Ive been working on this, he said.
Berry originally had the concept of
painting a mural with the words Soy
Alguien and I Am Somebody on a wall
in San Francisco, and hoped to include the
names of individuals who had been evicted
in the face of rising rents. As he began
developing his proposal for the North Fair
Oaks mural, he saw an even better fit for
the message.
When I heard it was around the corner
from the school, and most of the kids there
are Spanish and English speakers, speak-
ing both languages, it really feels like its
part of the community.
Less than a block away from the Fair
Oaks Community School, Berrys mural
has garnered feedback from fourth-, fifth-
and sixth-grade students, to whom Berry
had presented his design. The students,
who later joined Berry in painting por-
tions of the mural, suggested he include
falcons representing the school mascot to
join the California poppies he had already
planned for the background.
I really liked the idea of California pop-
pies being an identifier for everybody in
California, he said. Thats also some-
thing the kids immediately identified.
When it is complete, Berrys work will
feature deep blue and green lettering sur-
rounded by bright orange California pop-
White stripes will cover the entire mural,
with shapes of flying falcons interspersed
throughout these lines.
This is not an easy mural as far as pub-
lic art goes, he said. Its fairly abstract.
Even when I was proposing this I was like,
Im going to do something thats really
interesting to me artistically.
Berry said his excitement about his orig-
inal concept and design has only grown
with the feedback he received from commu-
nity leaders. Last fall, Berrys project pro-
posal was selected by the North Fair Oaks
Public Art Workgroup and approved by the
North Fair Oaks Community Council to be
the first of several major public art proj-
ects transforming the neighborhood.
Though Berry noted that not all coun-
cilmembers were immediately enthusiastic
of his project at their November meeting,
he was encouraged by the councils ener-
getic response to a nonconventional
mural.
That was something that was really
exciting to me and exciting about the
North Fair Oaks community is like after-
wards, a bunch of the councilmembers
came up to me and said, Hey, Im an artist,
too, I love this, Im a poet or Im a video
artist, he said.
For those who work with students in the
Fair Oaks Community School, the I Am
Somebody message is one that cannot
reach students frequently enough.
School coordinator and member of the
North Fair Oaks Public Art Workgroup that
selected Berrys project, said the murals
message is especially poignant given the
challenges many community members face
in making ends meet.
We have a lot of community members
who are living in poverty. Theyre in this
poverty cycle and its hard to get out, she
said. Having this message gives students
and parents hope that they can be some-
body in life.
Martinez said that having attended
school in North Fair Oaks and experienced
poverty and crisis when she was growing
up, she knows the power of this kind of
reminder from experience.
No matter the obstacles they face,
theyre actually going to be something, be
someone. They dont hear these messages
every day, she said.
Josh Griffith, principal of the Fair Oaks
Community School, said in addition to
educating students, his school provides
countless other resources, from food to dia-
pers, to help families struggling with
poverty.
We offer just about every kind of
resource to the underserved in our area,
he said. All the children see all that were
doing and theyre learning from us that
they are going to succeed. This mural only
makes that message that much more
clear.

TEACHERS
Continued from page 1
of officials. I dont think they are
taking time to explain this to us.
Cortez joined a group of nearly 100
students Thursday, Feb. 2, who visited
Superintendent Shawnterra Moore and
voiced their perspectives over the per-
ceived lack of teacher pay, echoing
similar sentiments expressed for
months by educators.
When they arrived, Cortez said stu-
dents were solely given a handout
illustrating the districts position
while bargaining and did not have a
chance to further discuss the issue.
Dr. Moore is a great lady. Shes
cool and I dont have anything against
her personally. That is not the issue.
But we are asking them to understand
us and to help us and its not coming
through, said Cortez, who attended a
similar rally the following day which
was lightly attended.
Moore, in an email, offered an alter-
native recounting of the meeting with
students, and said she worked hard to
meet individually with them and talk
through the contract negotiating
process.
I am very sad and surprised to hear
that one of our students felt that I was
dismissive, she said. I dont ever
want our students to feel I am not
attentive to them.
She said the handout was offered at
the request of those who sought more
information regarding the districts
position during contract negotiations.
I made sure they had my undivided
attention and I also offered to sit down
with them outside of the demonstra-
tion so that we could have a productive
dialogue in a more appropriate setting
where I could really hear the concerns
they have and we could have a discus-
sion, said Moore, who is planning
more meetings with students later this
week.
Trustee Patrick Lucy said he attended
the rally and did not believe Moore
was dismissive of the students, while
Cortez remained steadfast in her
claims.
I did not think it was a sufficient
response, she said.
Though the frustrations of teachers
and students are concerning, the dis-
trict offers one of the better compen-
sation packages in the county, accord-
ing to the letter shared by Moore.
We certainly appreciate that the
high cost of living in our community
makes it difficult for our employees
and families. We are doing our best to
provide a competitive compensation
package to our teachers that values
their important work as professional
educators, according to the letter.
Currently, beginning teachers in
South San Francisco Unified earn
more than teachers in 14 other dis-
tricts in San Mateo County.
Teachers have long been calling for
more money and repeatedly expressed
their dissatisfaction with officials
throughout the process, despite agree-
ing to a 10 percent raise in 2015 fol-
lowing a previous round of con-
tentious negotiations.
A linchpin of the existing standoff
is teachers pointing to a healthy
reserve fund as potential source to
draw from for salaries while officials
claim the rainy day money must be
preserved in case the district faces
leaner economic times in coming
years.
Teachers plan to attend the upcom-
ing Board of Trustees meeting
Thursday, Feb. 9, and further voice
their frustrations, according to
Allison Light, president of the dis-
tricts teachers union.
For her part, Light said she appreci-
ated the advocacy shown by students
last week.
It was exciting to see the students
in our district coming out to support
their teachers, she said in an email.
Cortez said many of her teachers
have started limiting their availabili-
ty beyond the hours mandated under
their contract, which means class-
rooms are locked before and after
school and often libraries are closed
due to inadequate staffing. Others have
elected to leave the district in favor of
higher paying jobs elsewhere.
The difficulty in getting additional
educational support was the
final straw in students decid-
ing to rally for their teach-
ers, said Cortez.
Ultimately, Cortez said she
is hopeful teachers will get
the raise they are seeking so
they can better afford to live
locally.
The cost of living in
South San Francisco and the
Bay Area is ridiculous and
students know that and we
see a lot of teachers getting
pushed out, she said.
To that end, Moore said
district officials remain dedi-
cated to meeting at the bar-
gaining table to hash out a
deal satisfactory for both
sides.
We have bargained in
good faith and will continue
to do so. We strive to contin-
ue to find the right balance
between compensation to
our colleagues and maintain-
ing a fiscally responsible
and solvent budget, she
said.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Marich Confectionery
1/26/17
Marich Confectionery Co. ISSUES ALLERGY ALERT ON
POTENTIAL UNDECLARED ALMONDS IN PRODUCT
Marich Confectionery of Hollister, California is voluntarily
recalling 4.25oz Valentine Chocolate Caramel Hearts UPC
CODE 797817-44440-9 because it may contain Triple Choco-
late Toffee which contains almonds. People who have an al-
lergy or severe sensitivity almonds run the risk of serious or
life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these prod-
ucts.
Product was distributed in California, Oklahoma and Minne-
sota in retail form.
The product can be identified by its Valentines Day themed
packaging. It comes in a 4.25oz (120g) bright red and pink box
with the product name of Chocolate Caramel Hearts. The lot
code being recalled is 0031711 with a best by date of 9/30/17
and can be found on the bottom of the package.
No illnesses have been reported to date.
The recall was initiated after it was discovered that product
containing almonds was distributed in packaging that did not
reveal the presence of almonds. Subsequent investigation in-
dicates the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in
the company's packaging processes that resulted in the pack-
aging mix up.
Consumers who have purchased 4.25oz Valentine Chocolate
Caramel Hearts are urged to return it Marich Confectionery
for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the
company at 1-800-624-7055 Monday through Friday 8:00 am
to 5:00 pm PST
