Coastal agency, city at odds


By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Pacifica officials are holding


strong that extensive renovations
taking place at a mobile home
park do not require a permit from

the
California
Coastal
Commission despite the agencys
claim that it does.
The Coastal Commission has
determined that work being done
on the Pacific Skies Estates on
Palmetto Avenue is not a repair

and maintenance project as the


city insists but rather a complete
redevelopment.
These types of jurisdictional
disagreements, however, are not
uncommon,
said
county
Supervisor Carole Groom, who

also serves on the Coastal


Commissions board representing
the central coast.
They sometimes take months
to resolve, Groom said.
The parks owners received a
permit from the state Department

of Housing and Community


Development Agency, the governing body over all mobile home
parks in the state, for the proposed work back in 2013 and the

State senator blames lobby, union

TOM JUNG/DAILY JOURNAL

Kindergartener Parnika Valluri accepts her award after reading her winning poem at the North Central Neighborhood Association's annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Essay and Poetry Contest, which was held on Saturday,
Jan. 16, at the King Center in San Mateo. For 33 years the North Central Neighborhood Association has sponsored
the contest to enlighten, as well as promote, the ideals and values of Dr. Kings dream.

A bill aiming to impose regulations on installation of artificial


playing surfaces comprised partially of crumb rubber made from
recycled tires died due to the lobbying efforts of special interest
groups, according to its author,
state Sen. Jerry Hill.
The
Senate
Education
Committee voted 3-2 to kill
Senate Bill 47 during a session
Wednesday, Jan. 13, ending the
brief life of the bill which was
introduced by Hill, D-San Mateo,
only one week earlier.
The law proposed requiring
school districts or cities pursuing
installation of a synthetic playing
field to consider surfaces that do
not use ground rubber from recycled tires as infill.

The
defeat
marked another
un s uc c e s s f ul
attempt at the
bill, as a similar
effort died in the
Senate committee last June.
Hill
said
staunch
oppoJerry Hill
sition
from
labor unions and lobbyists advocating on behalf of the synthetic
turf industry effectively worked to
kill his initiative and he no longer
plans to pursue the law.
Its terribly upsetting, he
said. This is just another example
of where good, honest policy that
can affect the health of children is
trumped and loses out to special

School enrollment growth relief sought


Facebook faulted Millbrae
school district fears development will cramp classrooms
for 3 films flops

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A prolific faith-based filmmaker


is suing social media giant
Facebook for the failure of three
films he produced in 2013.
Timothy Chey claims he used
the companys self-serve ad interface to advertise the release of the
films but that when potential customers clicked on the link they
were given a warning that it might
be malicious.
Chey
and his
company
Riverrain productions filed a law-

suit
against
Facebook
in
San

C o u n t y
Superior Court
Thursday
at
F a c e b o o k s
request, since it
is based in

filed the suit
originally in Southern California
in November.
He told the Daily Journal he

As policies regulating development near the Millbrae train station move forward, some officials
are underwhelmed by a perceived
lack of consideration given to the
potential impact on local schools.
Attorneys representing the
Millbrae Elementary School
District authored a letter requesting the City Council require developers proposing projects within
the 116-acre site to meet with
school officials and discuss potential costs of capital improvements
See FLOPS, Page 19 necessary to accommodate expect-

ed enrollment growth.
The letter proposed amendments
to the environmental impact
report for projects proposed in the
area near the intersection of
Millbrae Avenue and El Camino
Real, which would have forced
developers to consider offsetting
costs of additional classroom construction for the local district.
That effort ultimately fell flat
though, as the council voted 3-2
during a Tuesday, Jan. 12 meeting
to approve the environmental
impact report as proposed by city
staff, without adopting the districts request.
As a result, some city and school

officials are concerned the district


will be required to build more
classrooms, with little means to
finance the construction other
than pursuing a new bond measure.
Frank Barbaro, a member of the
Millbrae Elementary School
District Board of Trustees, said he
would have appreciated city officials working harder to advocate
on behalf of local schools.
Im very disappointed, he
said. I feel like they had an
opportunity, and it was a missed
opportunity for us to work together.

Thought for the Day


None can love freedom heartily, but good
men; the rest love not freedom, but license.
John Milton, English poet (1608-1674).

This Day in History

Tahoe economic study finds
uneven recovery; workers suffer
STATELINE, Nev. Lake Tahoes
working class neighborhoods are suffering during an uneven economic
recovery because of under-paying
jobs, out-of-reach housing costs and
aging infrastructure, according to a
nonprofit group formed five years
ago to develop strategies to diversify
the economy.
More than 3 million visitors annually pump an estimated $2 billion
into the Tahoe areas economy, but
most tourists rarely see the blight off
the beaten path where seasonal workers live in rundown apartments and
old motel rooms converted into longterm housing, according to a recent
report by the Tahoe Prosperity
Center.
Its a tough place to make a living, said Heidi Hill Drum, executive
director of the center.
Tahoe is always going to be a
great place to visit. We need to make
it a great place to live, she told the
Tahoe Daily Tribune.
Among other things, the study
entitled Measuring For Prosperity,
found that tourism-related jobs
accounted for 50 percent of all jobs
in the basin in 2003, but only 44 percent by 2013. Overall employment
declined by 5,000 jobs during that
period.

The reason for such a discrepancy


can be credited to low per-capita
income. For example, the report says
the average annual income for a
South Lake Tahoe resident is below
$25,000, the study said. Basin-wide,
that average is in the low 30s to high
20s, while the median single-familyhome price is closer to $500,000.
If we dont do something to
improve the ability for our workforce
to afford quality housing, we are
going to see them leave the basin in
droves to pursue both housing and
employment opportunities in Reno,
Carson Valley and elsewhere, Walker
said. This is already occurring, and
with the projected growth in Reno
over the next five to 10 years, it will
only get worse.
Drum agreed.
The visitors will come anyway,
she said. If you create communities
that have quality of life, it will benefit visitors. If were raising the bar
for our residents with restaurants,
affordable housing and mixed-use
development, it will benefit everyone.
Were not talking about new
development; were talking about
redevelopment, Drum added. Its
better for the environment. Outdated
buildings are the main reason were
seeing sediment go into the lake.
With redevelopment you get environmental benefits.

Unemployment has improved since


2010, but remains above state averages for both California and Nevada.
Casino revenues have declined steadily since 2000, and dramatically since
2006 trends that are much steeper
in the Tahoe basin than Nevada overall, the report said.
Newer hotel, restaurants and retail
projects have had excellent success
in the past couple of years, the study
said. But many of the jobs are parttime and wages often too low to
afford housing, so they commute
from outside the basin to work.
Young people may find many
impediments to remaining in the
region in terms of high housing
costs, and lack of full-time living
jobs, the study said.
Drum said the most surprising finding was that the region has a greater
income-to-housing-cost disparity
than even San Francisco a metropolitan region commonly associated
with a high cost of living.
The Tahoe regions average-household-income-to-home-value ratio is
10-to-1, meaning average home cost
is roughly 10 times higher than average annual wages. San Francisco, by
comparison, is 8-to-1.
Jesse Walker, a Tahoe-based economist who worked as a consultant on
the report, said 3-to-1 is considered a
more desirable, affordable ratio that
exists in many other parts of the
country.

Obituary

Keele Joy Blair


Joy was born in Woodstock, Ontario, Canada on July 12, 1918,
the fifth child of seven of Laura Lee MacLaren and Bertrand
Blair. She graduated from McAllen High School in Texas
and attended Woodstock Collegiate Institute in Canada. She
accepted her nursing credentials from Baylor University School
of Nursing and had a varied career in that field. She did public
health for the state of Texas in the early stages of their polio
epidemic. Joy worked as head nurse at Methodist Hospital in
Houston with Doctors Michael DeBakey and Denton Cooley
and participated in the first carotid surgery ever done. After
Houston, Joy worked in private practice in California and then started the medical department
at Hughes Air West. She was the treasurer of the San Mateo County NursesAssociation for years
and organized their luncheon fashion shows. She was an active 35-year member of the Peninsula
Symphony Auxiliary holding many offices on their behalf. After retiring from Hughes Air West
(now a part of Delta Airlines), she enjoyed a second career as a porcelain painter and was an active
member of CAPA, the California Association of Porcelain Artists. A long-time member of St.
Pauls Episcopal Church in Burlingame, Joys service to the church was uniquely recognized when
she was recently named the first honorary life member of their Altar Guild. Among her many
services to the church, Joy organized and spearheaded the creation of the cushions in the sanctuary
and chancel and the altar kneelers, designing the needlepoint as a narrative of the history of the
region. Much of the actual needlepoint of the nineteen pieces is from her own hands. Her expert
needlepoint appears in three other churches in the region. Other ecclesiastical work has included
her sewing and embroidering vestments for the chapel at Stanford University and other churches
and clergy. She was also an avid bridge player and an accomplished knitter. She enjoyed being with
her large extended family and many friends.
Joy is predeceased by her beloved husband Ralph Keele, precious daughter Marcia Pimentel
and husband Steven, parents, and siblings Dorothy Parker, William Blair, Bertram Blair, Helen
Morris, Bertrand Blair, and Donald Blair and nephews and niece Bill Blair, Alan Parker, and
Laura Blair. She is survived by Ralph Keele Jr., granddaughters Taryn Kane (Donalddeceased)
and Amber Bonderant (Eric Horst), great grandchildren Indira, Kasch, and Adler, and many
nieces, nephews, grand-nieces and nephews, great-grand nieces and nephews. She is survived by
special extended family members Lynn and Nancy Higbee, Francine Farrell, and Georgia Barron.
Memorial services will be held at St. Pauls Episcopal Church, 415 El Camino Real, Burlingame,
on Wednesday, January 20 at 1:00 p.m. with a reception to follow in the Parish Hall. Family and
close friends are welcome at the interment at Skylawn Memorial Park held at 10:30 a.m. the same
day. In lieu of flowers, contributions to St. Pauls Episcopal Church or Mission Hospice would be
appreciated.

Green means go at eateries


Colored food safety placards to be posted at county restaurants
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

San Mateo County has started to roll out a


new restaurant placarding program to make
it easier for the public to understand how
their favorite eateries scored on food safety
inspections.
The placards will be green, yellow and red
and must be displayed prominently at up to
3,000 restaurants and other food establishments.
Green means the food is good to go and
that the restaurant has had no more than one
food safety violation upon inspection.
Yellow means caution and indicates the
facility has had two or more major violations and will be inspected again within
three business days.
Red means stop.

Public health
If a restaurant has a red placard displayed
it means it will be closed because of violations that are a danger to the publics health
and safety. The restaurant will remain closed
until the unsafe conditions are corrected and
that the staff needs more training and education, according to the county Health
System.
Customers will still be able to review the
complete inspection report either at the
restaurant or online. A barcode on the placard will also link to the report.
The rules will also apply to food trucks
and other establishments such as convenience stores, bakeries, schools and licensed
health care facilities.

The placards will start popping up at the


facilities through the first half of the year as
restaurants are inspected. The same placarding system is already in place in Alameda,
Marin and Santa Clara counties.
Last year, the Health Systems
Environmental Health Services Division
invited about 4,000 food facility operators to 14 informational sessions to discuss the changes to the food safety inspections.
Foodborne illnesses are 100 percent preventable, and yet every year, one in six
Americans gets sick from them and 3,000
die, Heather Forshey, director of San
Mateo County Environmental Health
Services wrote in a statement. This program will help consumers quickly understand a restaurants food safety status and
give restaurant operators a chance to show
off their successful commitment to food
safety.

Regional approach
Taking a regional approach to grading
and placarding creates consistency for food
operators with restaurants in multiple counties and benefits the public by providing an
easy and consistent way to make an
informed decision when eating out, according to the Health System.
Workshops in English, Spanish and
Cantonese have been provided to restaurant
owners about the placards over the past
year.
Go to smchealth.org/placarding to learn
more about the program.

Rain to soak Bay Area


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO The first


of two storms soaked the San
Fran ci s co Bay Area, dump ed
fresh snow in the Sierra Nevada
and brought a high tide Sunday
that could flood some coastal
areas.
Strong rainfall first reached the
North Bay Sunday afternoon. The
area is expected to receive up to
2.5 inches of rainfall before the
storm spreads further inland, said
Roger Gass, a forecaster with the

National Weather Service.


The Sierra Nevada is forecast to
get up to 10 inches of new snow in
the highest points, Gass said.
Heavy rain could lead to locali zed fl o o di n g o f ro adway s ,
especially along the coast. A
flash flood warning is in effect
for some parts of the North Bay,
t h e Nat i o n al Weat h er Serv i ce
said.
Rainfall will taper off by
Monday morning but a second
rainstorm is expected to make
landfall Monday night and

Tuesday, Gass said.


There will be a few lingering
showers across the region Monday
morning but most conditions will
become dry by the afternoon, he
said.
The storms were accompanied
by a large ocean swell bringing
waves up to 15 feet along the central and southern California coast.
A high-surf advisory was in effect
through Tuesday for Ventura
County, where forecasters warned
of possible flooding in low-lying
areas.

Gas leak prompts talks of burn-off


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Southern


California air regulators delayed
making a decision Saturday on
whether to trap and burn leaking
natural gas that has persisted for
12 weeks and driven thousands
from their Los Angeles homes.
The South Coast Air Quality
Management District postponed
voting on an order of abatement
requiring Southern California Gas
Co. to stop the leak until concluding the final phase of the hearing
process
Wednesday,
agency
spokesman Sam Atwood said. Its
board members must also consider
a plan to bring residents more
immediate relief by capturing
leaking methane and disposing

the gas -- either by burning it or


by using carbon filters -- and a
proposal by many residents to
permanently shut down the massive gas storage field once the
leak is stopped.
Atwood said air regulators would
approve the plan to trap and burn
the gas if it is deemed safe to do
so. This past week, the state
Public Utilities Commission
expressed concerns that the damaged well could be vulnerable to an
explosion,
and
the
U. S.
Environmental Protection Agency
said it would assess the safety of
burning the gas.
Residents of Porter Ranch have
complained
about
nausea,
headaches, nosebleeds and other
symptoms that have persisted

Local briefs
Man who died in Highway 101
crash identified
A man who died after driving through
a Highway 101 off-ramp in South San
Francisco on Wednesday evening has
been identified by the San Mateo
County coroners office as 69-year-old
San Francisco resident Raymond
Muscat.
Muscat died in a crash reported at
6:28 p.m. Wednesday off the Oyster
Point Boulevard off-ramp from southbound Highway 101, according to the
California Highway Patrol.
He apparently failed to navigate a
nearly 90-degree turn on the off-ramp,
went through the guardrail and ended
up in a grassy area, CHP Officer Vu
Williams said.
He was pronounced dead at the scene
at 6:45 p.m. CHP officials will find out
from the coroners office whether he
suffered a medical emergency prior to
the crash, Williams said.
Witnesses said Muscat was driving
erratically prior to the crash and his
vehicle hit one or two other vehicles

since the leak at the Aliso Canyon


storage field, the largest facility
of its kind west of the Mississippi
River, was reported Oct. 23.
Gov. Jerry Brown has declared
an emergency. Some environmentalists are calling the leak the
worst disaster since the BP oil
spill in the Gulf of Mexico in
2010 for spewing climate-changing methane.
The company is under orders to
pay to relocate about 4,500 families until the problem is fixed.
To stop the leak, the company is
drilling a relief well about 8,500
feet beneath the surface, but that
isnt expected to finish until
March. Earlier this week, the
Public Utilities Commission
warned the company that damage

Woman, 79, suffers


life-threatening
injuries in collision
Two drivers were taken to the hospital after a crash in Belmont Friday
afternoon, according to police.
Officers were dispatched to a collision in the 1900 block of Ralston
Avenue around 2:30 p.m. Friday.
Investigators determined that a 79year-old woman driving a Subaru
Forester was turning onto westbound
Ralston when her vehicle collided with
a Chevrolet Prism driven by a 20-yearold woman.
The Chevrolet struck a tree and
stopped in the center median, police
said. The Subaru continued west on
Ralston for more than a block before
hitting a steel support for a sign at a
gas station at the corner of Ralston and
Villa avenues.
The 79-year-old woman was taken to
a hospital with
life-threatening injuries, according
to police. The 20-year-old was transported to a hospital with injuries that

to the well system, which has


been subjected
to two months
of high-pressure pumping
to try to plug
the leak, might
permit air to
with
Jerry Brown mix
methane in a
way that could be catastrophic,
the Los Angeles Times reported
Saturday.
If we cant capture that gas
safely, were not going to do that.
Safety is the first priority, company spokesman Mike Mizrahi
said.
The district had brokered an
agreement

Southern

Both drivers were identified as
Belmont residents.
Ralston Avenue remained closed
until after 4 p.m., according to police.

Police issue 51
speeding citations

California Gas Co. to stop the


leak, trap and burn off leaking
methane, reduce gas in the storage
field, monitor emissions and pay
for a study on health effects.
But district board members can
only approve the order after public
comment and a hearing last weekend had to be continued because of
the large turnout.
About 300 people packed the
forum at a Granada Hills school,
with about a quarter of those
speaking out many venting
about the company and regulators.
The air district has also issued a
violation order that could carry a
hefty fine for the company, but it
wont determine the penalty until
the leak is stopped.

Obama: Iran deal smart diplomacy


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama on Sunday heralded
the release of Americans held prisoner in Iran and the full implementation of a historic nuclear accord
with the Islamic Republic, holding both up as a victory for
smart diplomacy and fulfillment
of his pledge to deal directly with
enemies of the United States.
This is a good day, Obama said
in a statement from the White
House. When Americans are freed
and returned to their families,
thats something we can all celebrate.
The president spoke at the close
of an extraordinary weekend that
saw back-to-back the release of
five imprisoned Americans and the

termination of
billions
in
i n t ern at i o n al
sanctions on
Iran as part of
the
nuclear
accord.
Yet underscoring the strain
Barack Obama that continues
to
exist
between the U.S. and Iran, the
Obama
administration
also
announced new penalties Sunday
on 11 individuals and entities
involved in Tehrans ballistic missile program.
We will continue to enforce
these sanctions vigorously,
Obama said. We are going to
remain vigilant about it.
For Obama, the diplomatic

breakthroughs are a validation of


his early promise to deal directly
with nations such as Iran, one that
his political opponents continue
to staunchly oppose. The U.S. and
Iran broke off diplomatic relations after the 1979 hostage-taking at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran.
America can do and has done
big things when we work
together, Obama said. We can
lead this world and make it safer
and more secure.
The nuclear talks have brought a
sense of normalcy to relations
with the U.S. and Iran, with top
officials from each country in
somewhat regular communication.
While Obama emphasized that the
U.S. continues to have deep concerns about Irans destabilizing
actions in the Middle East and its

threats to Israel, he also opened up


the prospect of Tehran working
more cooperatively with the rest
of the world.
The president spoke shortly
after the Americans began their
journey home. A charter plane left
Tehran for Switzerland with the
Americans all four who had
been detained, according to Iran
state television; only three, the
U.S. said as part of a prisoner
swap.
White House officials said negotiations took place over a 14month period, most of them held
in Switzerland, and they were driven by concerns that the Americans
potentially faced many years in
prison.
Iran also agreed to work to
locate American Robert Levinson,

who vanished during a trip to Iran


in 2007.
In a reciprocal move, Obama
said that six Iranian-Americans
and one Iranian serving sentences
or awaiting trial were being granted clemency.
He emphasized that they were
not charged with terrorism or any
violent offenses.
Theyre civilians, and their
release is a one-time gesture to
Iran given the unique opportunity
offered by this moment and the
larger circumstances at play,
Obama said.
Within hours of the release of
the Americans, the U.S. imposed
sanctions against those involved
in Irans ballistic missile program
as a result of Tehrans firing of a
medium-range ballistic missile.

Triumph or travesty, US-Iran ties warming over nuclear deal


another war in the Middle East.
Three of the American detainees
Washington Post reporter
Jason Rezaian, former U. S.
Marine Amir Hekmati and pastor
Saeed Abedini arrived in
Germany en route to a U.S. military hospital. They will return
home after medical evaluations.
The Islamic Republic released
the prisoners in exchange for pardons or charges dropped against
seven Iranians six of whom

hold dual U.S. citizenship serving time for or accused of sanctions violations in the United
States. A fifth American, student
Matthew Trevithick, who had been
detained in Iran for roughly 40
days, was released separately.
For all the celebrations, the timing of the deal, finalized hours
after Saturday nights U.N. confirmation that Iran made good on
pledges to significantly back
away from atomic bomb-making

capacity, suggested that the


Americans possibly were used as
pawns by the Iranian government
to win long-sought economic
relief, as critics allege.
The International Atomic
Energy Agencys declaration
unlocked some $100 billion in
frozen Iranian assets overseas,
and potentially even greater economic benefits through suspended
oil, trade and financial sanctions
by the U.S. and European Union.

Cruz takes aim at New Hampshire voters


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MANCHESTER, N.H. During


a pro-gun event at a New
Hampshire shooting range this
month, Republican presidential
hopeful Ted Cruz explained his
views on protecting Second
Amendment rights, freedom and
liberty for all Americans.
What is it about freedom that is
so terrifying for liberals? he
asked a crowd of conservative voters. If youre a big government
person you want your citizenry
docile and ignorant and unarmed.
Cruz is hoping to bring religious and social conservatives
together with pro-gun libertarians
for a stronger-than-expected finish in New Hampshires primary
on Feb. 9. He was returning to the
state on Sunday to kick off a fiveday, 17-stop bus tour.
His trademark anti-establishment pitch, filled with quotes from
scripture and support from evan-

served
the
Texas senator
well
among
co n s erv at i v es
in Iowa, where
hes locked in a
narrow
race
with
Donald
Trump ahead of

the Feb. 1 caucus.


But Cruz hopes to spark momentum with a strong start to the 2016
primary season, and he sees a lot
at stake in New Hampshire, the
nations second nominating contest.

Moderate Republicans
The first-term senators backers
say his message can consolidate
enough conservative support to
do well in New Hampshire, which
tends to favor more moderate
Republicans. As Trump surges

Nation brief
Senate to take up bill for more
scrutiny of Syrian refugees
WASHINGTON The Senate will consider new rigorous screening procedures for
Syrian and Iraqi refugees seeking to enter
the United States as national security looms
large for voters in an election year.
Propelled by the Islamic State groups
attacks in Paris, the GOP-backed legislation raced through the House last November
with 289 votes. That veto-proof margin
included 47 Democrats despite the Obama
administrations opposition to the measure.
The legislation will have a much harder
time making it through the Senate in the

ahead of his rivals in state polls,


the rest of the GOP field is scrambling to grab whatever support
remains.
Often conservatives are just all
over the place and they dissipate
their strength by spreading it out
across too many candidates, said
New Hampshire state Rep. Bill
OBrien, a state co-chair for Cruz.
While Cruz had a quick stopover
in New Hampshire last week, more
than two months have passed
since his last visit.
The senator instead has poured
his time and resources into states
like Iowa, where many observe his
chance for a strong finish is more
likely.
At a town hall meeting in
Londonderry, New Hampshire,
delivered the same night as
President Barack Obamas State of
the Union address, Cruz offered the
audience his campaign pitch with
the usual mix of confidence and
bravado.

Cruz supporter Dan Gleason of


Windham, New Hampshire, said
Cruz stands out from the pack
because of his apparent commitment
to
upholding
the
Constitution.
Hes a real constitutional conservative, hes the only one in my
opinion, Gleason said. Hes not
making stuff up as he goes; its
consistent with everything hes
always said.

Obamacare
In both Iowa and New
Hampshire, Cruz draws cheers
when he talks about plans to
repeal Obamas health care law,
implement a flat tax, abolish the
IRS and Education Department,
build a wall along the Mexican
border and eliminate cities that
wont cooperate with immigration
investigators.
But in rural Iowa he often recites
Scripture, telling stories about his

daughters prayers and exhorting


voters to pray for him and the
country at least one minute a day
before Feb. 1 caucus.
Cruz may try to tone that message down for New Hampshires
generally more secular residents,
but some of the states Christians
say they hope Cruzs message of
faith will inspire voters.
In the last election, there were
so
many

Republicans who are evangelicals
who did not come out and vote,
said Andrew Dean, a New
Hampshire pastor who leads a
church of roughly 125 members.
Cruzs New Hampshire campaign leaders come from the
partys most conservative wing
and hold sway with the voters Cruz
is trying to cultivate.
Weve always believed there is
a coalition of conservatives we
can put together here, said Ethan
Zorfas, Cruzs New Hampshire
state director.

week ahead.
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, RKy., needs at least six Democrats to join all
54 Republicans to approve a motion clearing the bill for final passage in the 100member chamber.
The Senates top Democrat, Harry Reid of
Nevada, said last year that was not going to
happen. Even if it did, President Barack
Obama has pledged to veto the bill if it got
to him.
The upshot may be more of the same on
Capitol Hill: A war of words, with
Republicans blasting Obama for failing to
do what they see as necessary to secure the
United States and Democrats accusing the
GOP of fearmongering to score points with
voters.

Iraqi city of Ramadi lies in ruins


By Susannah George
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RAMADI, Iraq So complete


was the destruction of Ramadi that
a local reporter who had visited
the city many times hardly recognized it.
Honestly, this is the main
street, Amaj Hamid, a member of
Iraqs elite counterterrorism
forces, told the TV crew as they
entered from the southwest.
He swerved to avoid the aftermath of months of fighting: rubble, overturned cars and piles of
twisted metal. Airstrikes and
homemade bombs laid by the
Islamic State group had shredded
the poured-concrete walls and ceilings of the houses and shops
along the road.

Ramadi, once home to about


500,000 people, now largely lies
in ruins. A U.N. report released
Saturday used satellite imagery to
assess the devastation, concluding that more than 3,000 buildings had been damaged and nearly
1,500 destroyed in the city 70
miles (115 kilometers) west of
Baghdad.
All told, more than 60 percent
of Anbars provincial capital has
been destroyed by constant air
bombardment and the scorchedearth practices of IS fighters in
retreat, according to local estimates.
Officials are already scrambling
to raise money to rebuild, even as
operations continue to retake
neighborhoods in the north and
east. Their concern is that the dev-

astation could breed future conflicts, recreating the conditions


that allowed the Islamic State
group to first gain a foothold in
the province in late 2013.
While the U. S. -led coalition
acknowledges the importance of
reconstruction efforts, the actual
money pledged to help rebuild is
just a fraction of the amount spent
on the military effort against IS.
In previous fights for the city,
government buildings, bridges
and key highways bore the brunt
of airstrikes and heavy artillery.
But during the most recent round
of violence, airstrikes targeted the
largely residential areas where IS
fighters were based.
After the Islamic State group
overran Ramadi in May, storming
and then largely destroying the

Embassy: Several Americans missing in Iraq


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD The U. S.
Embassy confirmed Sunday that
several Americans have gone
missing in Iraq, after local media
reported that three Americans had
been kidnapped in the Iraqi capital.
U.S. Embassy spokesman Scott
Bolz said, We are working in full
cooperation with Iraqi authorities
to locate the missing Americans.
Bolz did not identify the missing Americans or say what they
were doing in Iraq.
State Department spokesman
John Kirby said that due to privacy considerations he had nothing
further to add about the missing

Americans. The safety and security of Americans abroad is our


highest priority, Kirby said.
The comments by U.S. officials
came after the Arab news channel,
al-Arabiya, citing its own sources,
reported that three Americans had
been kidnapped by militias in
Baghdad.
Iraqi media reports said the
Americans went missing in south
Baghdad on their way to Baghdad
International Airport.
A Western security official,
speaking on condition of
anonymity because he was not
authorized to brief the media, said
Sunday that he had been told that
three Americans went missing 24
to 48 hours ago.

There were no immediate claims


of responsibility. Kidnappings in
Iraq have been carried out by the
Islamic State group and Shiite
militias as well as criminal gangs
demanding ransom payments or
disgruntled employees seeking to
resolve workplace disputes.
The incident comes after a week
that has seen a deterioration of
security in and around the Iraqi
capital after months of relative
calm.
The Islamic State group claimed
a number of attacks in Baghdad and
neighboring Diyala province last
week that killed more than 50 people, including a high profile
attack on a mall in the Iraqi capital. The string of IS attacks on

citys symbolically important


central government complex,
fighters quickly fanned out into
the citys dense neighborhoods.
Using civilian homes as bases, IS
turned living rooms into operations centers and bedrooms into
barracks.
Brig. Gen. Muhammad Rasheed
Salah of the Anbar provincial
police said if civilians dont start
receiving compensation soon,
tribal violence will quickly follow
liberation.
Listen, I am a son of this land,
he said explaining he is from a
village on the outskirts of Ramadi
still under IS control. My house
was destroyed by someone I know.
He was my friend, my neighbor. In
cases like this, you need to be able

Pope denounces violence

thing, he said referring to government help for rebuilding.


U.S. and Iraqi officials estimate
the price tag for rebuilding to be
in the hundreds of millions. The
Iraqi government, in the midst of
an economic downturn triggered
in part by the falling price of oil,
has shifted almost all costs of
rebuilding to the provinces, ruling that reconstruction must come
from existing budget allocations.
That means provincial governors
will depend almost entirely on
international aid.
We will never kill our way out
of the Daesh problem, U.S. Army

Arabic acronym for the Islamic
State group, told a recent news

the Ramadi gains.
Francis joined a standing ovation when Holocaust survivors,
some wearing striped scarves reminiscent of their camp uniforms,
were singled out for applause at the
start of the ceremony. And he
elicited an ovation of his own
when he paused in his remarks to
acknowledge the survivors in the
synagogues front row.
The visit comes amid a spate of
Islamic extremist attacks in
Europe, Africa, the Middle East and
elsewhere violence which
Francis has condemned as anathema to religion, particularly given
that Christians and religious
minorities are often the target.
Violence of man against man is

A man with a dream


and dead.
Others lived, to
give birth to you
and me instead.

By Marie Davis

ev. Dr. Martin Luther King


was a man with a dream.

He wasnt the rst, there were many


before, but King
had the bright vision, and made the
decision to serve mankinds plights,
uphold Human Rights, to teach, and
to do Gods will above his own. He
climbed up
the mountain, looked over the top,
and knew that his mission must now
never stop.
1619 to 1865 black people, millions, suffered 246 years in slavery
building
the infrastructure and economic
wealth of this nation. They endured
the pain of the chain,
the whips, family separation,
degradation, no legal protection,
denied education.
Then, Jim Crow, peonage, lynching, and racial segregation.
In spite of all the pain, received no
reparations, last to be hired, rst to
be red.
Freed at last 1865 by the 13th
Amendment to the Constitution,
Union Army Occupation, and
President Abraham Lincolns great
Emancipation Proclamation.
Many cried out for freedom, your
folks and mine.
Some broke from the chain, only to
be tortured or slain.
Some hung high from a tree, some
beaten to the ground.
Some whose bodies were never to
be found,
Never given high praise or sung of
in a song.
Known only to God of the living

Rev. Dr. Martin


Luther King, by his
works, is given a
special place.
In the hearts of
man, and by God, surely given full
grace?
His dream lives on as long as we
care.
How great to be given such a space
in the History of the Human Race.
Greater still, to be a servant of God,
Leaving magnicent footsteps in
the land where he trod.
He marched to the beat of a different
drum.
Tre drum, Tre drum, Tre drum, Tre
drum.
For peace, for justice, for full
Human Rights;
In the Face of the haters who
scoffed and threw stones.
When Rosa Parks, body aching,
tired of the segregation fuss,
refused to give up her seat to a white
man in the back of the bus
she was quickly arrested and thrown
into jail.
Dr. King and friends hearing of this,
organized a bus boycott,
crying, Such as these, we cannot
fail!
Martin Luther King said, We will
march, but only in peace,
To show love for those who despitefully use us!
A new day was born in all loving
hearts.
They came from the East, North,

South and the West;


Armed with the Nature of God, putting forth their best.
Standing tall, arms linked, they
sang as they marched
To this different beat, to this different drum;
Tre drum, Tre drum, Tre drum, Tre
drum.
We Shall Overcome, We Shall
Overcome!
Oh, they were beaten, kicked, spat
upon by mobs,
Fire hosed, electric prodded, bitten
by police dogs.
Old and young, bleeding, and
screaming,
dragged through the streets hauled
off to jail.
Terror and gunshots rang out from
the side,
killing our friends Rev. James
Reeb, Viola Liuzzo,
Medgar Evers, four little girls in
Sunday School,
Martin King Luthers mother, and
precious others also died.
The Nation and world watched in
horror, shock, disbelief.
Troops soon were dispatched by
Lyndon B. Johnson,
our Nations Commander-in-Chief.
The March on Washington brought
forth a new birth:
For freedom, and full Human Rights
for all people on Earth.
The man, Martin Luther King for
his dream, paid his life.
His Dream? Oh, it lives on in the
hearts and minds of
all the people who care, everywhere.

Who was
J.E. Switzer?

f you know anything about a J.E. Switzer who


lived in San Mateo in the 1950s and was a
friend or an acquaintance of Albert Einstein,
please let me know. Heres why. I bought a book,
Failure: Why Science is so Successful by Stuart
Firestein, as a birthday present for a friend. My
friend wrote he knew why I had bought this particular
book because in it was a letter from Albert Einstein
to someone in San Mateo. Wow, I thought. What a
connection. But when I
read the text of
Einsteins letter, I was
disappointed. It did not
have an address, and was
addressed as Dear Sir;
nor could I find any
information about
Switzer. Mitch Postel,
who knows everything
about San Mateo County
history (he is head of the
county history museum),
had no record of Switzer
in his files. The following is all I came up with.
If anyone has more
information on the subject it would be much
appreciated.
J. E. Switzer wrote Einstein a letter April 23,
1953, two years before Einstein died, and asked him
why the Chinese had not invented or discovered what
we term modern science in spite of their great talents. Einstein replied that it is a miracle that modern
science evolved anywhere. Here is what the famous
physicist wrote:
The development of Western Science has been
based on two great achievements, the invention of
the formal logical system (in Euclidean geometry)
by the Greek philosophers, and the discovery of the
possibility of finding out causal relationships by
systematic experiment (at the Renaissance). In my
opinion one need not be astonished that the Chinese
sages did not make these steps. The astonishing
thing is that these discoveries were made at all.
Sincerely yours,
Albert Einstein

We rely on the U.S. Postal Service, some more
than others, but because Congress refuses to appropriately fund it, Americas historic and famous delivery service is bleeding from lack of funds. Any time
the post office wants to make a cost-saving move,
Congress says no. No to eliminating Saturday delivery. No to eliminating service in remote areas. And
when the post office wants to close a post office in a
town or city to consolidate services, residents say
no. A reader sent me a link to the following:
Lawmakers want the Postal Service to run itself like
a for-profit business, but they retain the right of
final say over all its major business decisions. The
USPS is legally obligated to serve every address in
the U.S. and its territories, but it cant set its own
prices, decide where to expand or cut its operations,
or make other basic business decisions.
Members of Congress representing rural areas are
especially adamant that the USPS serve their constituents. This involves maintaining money-losing
post offices in places where other types of service
would be more cost-effective. The push to end
Saturday delivery is fine with most Americans 71
percent, according to a CBS News poll last February;
80 percent (including 76 percent of rural respondents), according to an Ipsos poll commissioned by
the USPS. But greeting card and direct mail companies strongly oppose the move, and their lobbyists
have made sure Congress knows it.
The biggest slap Congress has delivered to the
USPS, though, is a 2006 decision to make the
agency pre-fund its pensions for 75 years, an onerous burden not required of any other government
agency, let alone adopted by any private company.
Most of the USPSs losses are caused by this requirement. The other factor is the steady decline in First
Class mail, as more people use the Internet for routine correspondence.
The Postal Service keeps on coming up with
plans to make itself profitable, or a least less
unprofitable, and Congress keeps saying no or
ignoring the USPSs structural issues. postal

is no.
The American economy is
expected to prove resilient and
nimble enough to avoid serious
damage, at least anytime soon.
For all the economys challenges,
the job market is strong, home
sales are solid and cheaper gasoline has allowed consumers to
spend more on cars, restaurants
and online shopping.
The companies that make up
major stock indexes are far more
vulnerable than the economy
itself is to distress abroad:
Companies in the Standard &
Poors 500 index derived 48 percent of their revenue from abroad
in 2014, up from 43 percent in
2003.
By contrast, exports account for
only about 13 percent of the
nations gross domestic product

such shares in the world. Exports
to China equal just 1 percent of
GDP.

While the U. S. economys


exposure to China is relatively
small, the multinational companies that trade on the stock market
are much more exposed, said
Mark Zandi, chief economist at
Moodys Analytics.

S&P 500
The S&P 500 sank 2.2 percent
Friday and has tumbled 8 percent
since the year began, deflated by
expectations of even lower oil
prices ahead and fears that Chinas
once-explosive economy is slowing more than anyone had expected. On Friday, the Xinhua news
agency reported that Chinese
banks reduced loans last month
from a year earlier.
It was the latest sign that
Chinas economy continues to
decelerate an ominous trend for
U. S. companies, like heavyequipment maker Caterpillar, that
have significant business there.
(Caterpillar shares shed 2.7 percent Friday.)
For many of these companies,
the narrative behind their growth
and earnings prospects is China,
Zandi said. If you throw that narrative out, investors get nervous.
The disconnect between the
actual economy and the price of
stocks isnt new. From the waning
days of the Great Recession into

the tepid recovery that followed,


stocks managed to gradually rise
despite persistently high unemployment and tepid economic
growth. Now, the opposite seems
true.
Main Street is better, and Wall
Street is suffering, said Jim
Paulsen, chief investment strategist at Wells Capital.
The broadest gauges of the economy look fundamentally sound.
GDP likely expanded 2.4 percent
last year, according to JP Morgan
Chase. Zandi foresees its growth
hitting 2.8 percent in 2016
hardly spectacular but decent,
especially at a time when many
industrialized economies are
struggling to grow at all.
The job market appears particularly robust. Employers added an
average of 221,000 jobs a month
during 2015 and 284,000 a month
from October through December.
The unemployment rate has sunk
from 10 percent in 2009 to 5 percent, a level associated with a
healthy economy.
Improved job security layoffs
have slowed to exceptionally low
levels has helped embolden
many Americans to shop.
Consumer spending, which drives
about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity, rose at an annual rate
of more than 3 percent in the
spring and summer. Auto sales hit
a record last year.

Not that the U.S. economy has


been left unscathed by the weakness abroad. Partly because a
stronger dollar has made their
goods more expensive abroad,
U.S. manufacturers are suffering.
Industrial production fell in
December for a third straight
month, the government said, and
orders to factories dropped in
November for the third time in
four months. Last year, factories
added just 30,000 jobs, the fewest
since the recession year of 2009.

Energy companies
Whats more, energy companies
are reeling from sharply lower oil
prices. And though falling oil
prices have helped boost consumer spirits and encourage
spending, they also helped slow
the overall economy last year by
causing energy companies to
slash investment.
In addition, the Federal Reserve
has signaled that it expects to further boost interest rates this year
after raising them from record
lows in December, and some fear it
will move too fast. Fed hikes were
considered a trigger for three of
the past four recessions.
Economists dont entirely
understand the links among the
worlds major economies. The
International Monetary Fund has

acknowledged surprise over just


how much Chinas slowdown has
hurt other countries in the developing world.
Its also possible that damage to
the United States could prove
worse than direct trade ties suggest. Wells Capitals Paulsen
notes that small- and mediumsized U.S. companies supply the
multinationals that do big business overseas. When exports falter, those companies can suffer in
ways that dont show up in trade
numbers.
Tumbling stock markets themselves can also cause economic
damage, by making Americans
who have money tied up in stocks
feel poorer and less inclined to
spend.
A month ago, Joel Naroff, president of Naroff Economic Advisors,
predicted that the U.S economy
would grow 3 percent this year.
Now hes considering cutting his
forecast.
Hes not worried about the
impact of economic weakness
overseas. Hes worried about the
toll that falling stocks may take
on consumer confidence.
Still, he doesnt think a recession is coming, no matter how
scary the stock plunge of late.
As famed economist Paul
Samuelson once quipped, The
stock market has forecast nine of
the last five recessions.

Netflix chief: Emphasis put on family shows


By David Bauder
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PASADENA, Calif. Netflix


says it will make a special effort
to produce programming for children and families, with the streaming service offering 20 new programs in the category this year led
by the Feb. 26 premiere of the
Fuller House remake.
Ted Sarandos, Netflix chief content officer, said Sunday that
theres not enough of this programming on traditional TV right
now. The emphasis also coincides
with Netflixs broadening subscriber base its more than 19year-old boys clicking onto the
service now.
The streaming service is in only

its fourth season of making original content with deep pockets that
have made traditional TV networks
envious. Sarandos, who said
Netflix will spend $5 billion on
content this year, aggressively
fought back against recent criticism from rivals.
The remake of the popular Full
House is highly anticipated. The
network on Friday also made
available new episodes of the
teen-focused series Degrassi.
Jim Hensons company is making
Word Party, a show for
preschoolers, and Lost & Found
Music Studios, premiering in
April, is about striving teenage
musicians. Also in April, the animated Kong: King of the Apes
will update the King Kong series.

The Get Down, a series starting this summer about the formative days of rap music, could
appeal to both youngsters and
their parents.
Netflix said it has 43 million
subscribers in the United States,
or more than a third of households
with television, and 70 million
worldwide. It has steadfastly
refused to detail how many people
watch their original programs,
leading a rival to try and pull back
the curtain this week.
NBC researchers said they used
audio
measurements
from
Symphony Advanced Media to
estimate viewership for some
Netflix programs. For instance,
NBC said the comedy Master of
None was seen 3.9 million times

by viewers ages 18-to-49 over a


35-day period, while Marvels
Jessica Jones had 4.8 million
youthful viewers during the same
stretch of time. NBC argued this
meant Netflix wasnt a serious
threat to its business.
Sarandos said NBC released
remarkably inaccurate data that
does not reflect any reality that we
track, and said Netflix doesnt
measure viewership in the 18-to49-year-old demographic. He said
NBC probably took the time to
talk about Netflix because its
more fun than talking about
NBCs ratings.
He did not, however, release any
specific data to dispute what NBC
said.
One thing not in Netflixs

immediate future: live programming, including news or sports.


While Netflix has the technical
ability to deliver live programming, it would muddle the companys chief marketing message that
viewers can watch whatever they
want whenever they want.
Sarandos also needled John
Landgraf, CEO of the FX
Networks,
who
complained
Saturday of Netflixs big programming budget and has suggested
that there are too many television
shows being made for consumers
to get a grip on.
Is there too much TV?
Sarandos asked. We dont think
theres too much TV, and if there is
too much TV, somebody else has
to slow down.

California farmers brace for water shortage despite El Nio


By Scott Smith
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FRESNO Farmers
in
Californias fertile San Joaquin
Valley are bracing to receive no
irrigation water from a federal system of reservoirs and canals for a
third consecutive year and looking to El Nio to produce the very
wet winter they need.
The year kicked off with heavy
rains and an above-average snowpack in the Sierra Nevada. The El
Nio a global weather system
associated with wet winters in
California may play out nationwide through late spring or
beyond, officials at the National
Oceanic
and
Atmospheric
Administration say.
Another welcomed series of

storms is expected to dump more


rain and snow on California
through Thursday, according to
National Weather Service forecasters.
While many are celebrating a
break to the long dry spell, however, the four driest years on
record for California have left
their mark, and experts say it will
take time for the parched state to
recover.
We need a wet winter this winter and next and the following
winter probably to get us anywhere close to equilibrium, said
Dave Kranz, a spokesman for the
California
Farm
Bureau
Federation.
State water managers say
Californias snowpack needs to be
at 150 percent of normal on April

1 to signal an end to drought.


Friday it was at 110 percent,
according to the Department of
Water Resources statewide electronic reading.
Lake Shasta, the states largest
reservoir, remains at half of its
historical average for this time of
year. Other major reservoirs in
Oroville and Folsom that collect
and store rain and snowmelt had
reached or came close to historical
low levels before the winter
storms hit.
The lack of surface water supplies for irrigation during the
drought has forced many farmers
to use groundwater to keep their
crops alive, drawing down wells
and leading many to run dry.
Westlands Water District, which
relies on water from the U. S.

Bureau of Reclamation, has


warned hundreds of farms it serves
in the San Joaquin Valley that they
may not be receiving any irrigation water yet again this year, said
district spokeswoman Gayle
Holman.
Westlands is the nations largest
supplier of irrigation water, and
for the last two years, the bureaus
initial allocation was for zero percent of the districts contracted
amount.
It remained at zero throughout
both years.
Holman said that this stormy
winter has raised hope that in the
spring theyll receive some federal water, even if officials at first
announce that theres none available.
Holman said that by that time it

may be too late.


The need for that water is now,
she said, adding that any federal
water sent to them early in the
year would be stored in reservoirs
for use when the weather warms
and the growing seasons begins.
Thats why the timing is so critical.
Federal officials say it is too
early now to know how much
water
will
be
available.
Californias wet season is just
underway. The bureau is monitoring the snowpack, rainfall, reservoir levels and other factors
before saying how much water it
will release to farmers and other
users.
That announcement typically
comes in late February, said bureau
spokesman Louis Moore.

Edelmans return helps Patriots


back to AFC championship game
By Jimmy Golen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GREG M. COOPER/USA TODAY SPORTS

Julian Edelman returned to action Saturday to nab 10 catches for 100 yards
in the Patriots 27-20 win over the Chiefs to advance to the AFC title game.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. The


New England Patriots returned to
normal just in time to return to the
AFC championship game for the
fifth year in a row.
With Julian Edelman back from a
broken foot, the Patriots shrugged
off their end-of-season slump and
beat Kansas City 27-20 in the divisional playoff round.
New England will play either
Denver or Pittsburgh on Sunday for
a spot in Super Bowl 50 in Santa
Clara, California.

Edelman, who had been the


teams No. 1 receiver before breaking his foot in Week 10, had 10
catches for 100 yards against the
Chiefs on Saturday. With Edelman
and tight end Rob Gronkowski
back in the lineup, Tom Brady
threw for more than 300 yards for
just the second time since Edelman
broke his foot.
It certainly makes a big difference with the rhythm and the confidence of the offense, special teamer Matt Slater said on Sunday. Hes
a big part of what we do.
Typically one of the best end-ofseason teams in the NFL, the

Patriots won just two of their last


six games since Edelman went out.
Injuries on the offensive line also
left Brady scrambling to protect
himself.
But Edelmans return seemed to
have the biggest impact on
Saturday, when Brady threw his
way 16 times including the second, third and fourth plays of the
game.
Rusty from two months without
being on the field together, the two
misconnected on five of the first
eight tries before Brady completed

DENVER Get ready for BradyManning XVII.


Peyton Manning earned one more
and possibly final game against his
rival by leading the Denver
Broncos to a come-from-behind 2316 win over Ben Roethlisberger and
the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.
That set up an AFC championship
game next weekend in Denver
against Tom Brady and the defending Super Bowl champion New
England Patriots (13-4).
Manning and Brady have squared
off 16 times before, a full seasons
worth of matchups between the two
quarterbacks whose careers are so
intertwined that a conversation
about one almost has to include the
other like Bird vs. Magic or Ali
vs. Frazier.
Itll be the Broncos vs. the
Patriots, Manning said. Well
enjoy this one tonight. I think you
knew that answer was coming. To
kind of quote Bill Belichick, well
be on to New England. But Ill be
talking about them on Wednesday.

only got to face
his fellow Hall

Brady has won 11 of the 16 meetings, but theyre 2-2 in the playoffs, including Denvers 26-16 win
in the conference championship
game two years ago. This game
marks just the seventh time
Manning will face Brady at home.
This matchup was slated for
November before Manning went out
with a foot injury that pushed longtime backup Brock Osweiler into the
starting and starring role.
Osweiler led the Broncos (13-4)

Sacred Heart Preps Andrew Daschbach named
MaxPreps Small Schools first-team All-American
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Sacred Heart Prep senior Andrew


Daschbach staked his claim as one
of the greatest tight ends in the
nation this season. And last
Friday, he was recognized as such,
being honored as a MaxPreps
Small Schools All-American.
I was definitely happily surprised when I heard the news,
Daschbach said. I was definitely
in the state of shock a little bit.
But it started sinking in over the
course of the day. It was definitely
really special.
Daschbach was one of just two
players from California two
receive the Small Schools first-

team honor, and the only player


from Northern California. San
Marino quarterback J.P. Shohfi
was the other California-based
player to earn the nod.
The 6-3, 210-pound Daschbach
made his mark by setting the
Sacred Heart Prep single-season
receiving record with 1,286 yards
this season. With the Gators notoriously a run-first offense,
Daschbachs mark was even more
impressive. Add to that he served
the team exclusively as a tight end
this season not a wide receiver
it makes for an astounding feat.
A
three-sport
athlete,
Daschbach is verbally committed
to play baseball at Stanford. He
will be a second-generation

Cardinal as his father Mark graduated from Stanford in 1984. While


Mark wasnt a collegiate athlete,
he was the roommate as part of the
same Theta Delta Ki fraternity
with former Stanford tight end
Chris Dressel.
In addition to playing for four
years with quarterback John Elway
at Stanford, Dressel went on to
play in the NFL for 10 seasons,
including a stint in 1987 with the
49ers under head coach Bill Walsh.
And while Dressel has gone on to
raise a volleyball brood of four
daughters, his legacy as a pro tight
end impacted Daschbach from a
young age.

Cards Hail Larry trumps Rodgers Hail Mary


By Bob Baum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GLENDALE, Ariz. After being forced into


overtime by another Hail Mary from Aaron
Rodgers, the Arizona Cardinals wasted no time
calling for the Hail Larry to get to the NFC
Championship.
Larry Fitzgerald was uncovered, caught
Carson Palmers short pass and darted through
tacklers for 75 yards as the screaming
Cardinals fans finally drowned out the visiting
Cheeseheads, before he was tackled at the 5yard line. Then, he took a shovel pass and
scored the winning touchdown in a 26-20 victory Saturday night.
The stadium rocked with chants of Larry!
Larry!
As simple a word as special is, it
describes him probably the best, Carson
Palmer said.
The 32-year-old future Hall of Famer, who
still holds single-season playoff records set
during Arizonas Super Bowl run seven years

ago, gave the Cardinals the signature plays


that prevented what would have been a devastating loss for a team that has its sights on
another trip to the NFLs biggest stage.
Fitzgerald caught eight passes for 176
yards.
As an elder statesman on this team I just try
to elevate my game and make plays for my
teammates, he said.
The Cardinals (14-3) play the winner of
Sundays Seattle-Carolina game for the NFC
title.
It cant be any crazier than this one, which
unfolded on the same field where the Cardinals
beat the Packers in overtime 51-45 in a wildcard game in the 2009 season and where
Arizona routed Green Bay 38-8 three weeks
ago.
Losing in that fashion, especially with the
offense pulling that out, another Hail Mary, is
unbelievable, Green Bay linebacker Clay
Matthews said.
Rodgers, in a play reminiscent of his finalplay heave against Detroit this season, took

the snap with 5 seconds to go in regulation,


scrambled around and heaved it 41 yards to the
end zone.
Jeff Janis, a 6-foot-3 receiver pressed into
extended duty because Green Bays top two
receivers were hurt, outjumped defenders
Patrick Peterson and Rashad Johnson and
clutched the ball to his chest as he fell to the
turf in the silence of University of Phoenix
Stadium, except for the Packers fans, who
went nuts.
I didnt know where anybody was really,
Rodgers said. I saw Jeff briefly and I just tried
to put some air on it to give him a chance.
Arizona won the overtime coin toss after
the referee declared the first toss hadnt
flipped. On the first play, no one was covering Fitzgerald, who caught and ran to the 5yard line.

NFL: Basic fairness


dictated re-tossed coin
By Dennis Waszak Jr.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK No need to flip out over that repeated coin


toss.
When referee Clete Blakeman tossed the coin before the
start of overtime in the NFC divisional
playoff game between Green Bay and
Arizona on Saturday night, it never actually flipped. Blakeman quickly picked up
the coin and made sure this one went
heads over tails in the air.
The rule book does not specify when
the coin must be re-tossed, but the referee
used his judgment to determine that basic
Clete Blakeman fairness dictated that the coin should flip
for the toss to be valid, NFL spokesman
Michael Signora said in an email to The Associated Press on
Sunday. That is why he re-tossed the coin.
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers called tails on the initial toss, which landed on the ground as heads as the coin
showed in Blakemans hand before the failed flip.
After Blakeman told the teams the coin hadnt flipped, he
stuck with Rodgers tails call while he successfully flipped
the coin a second time. After the game, Rodgers said he
would have called heads on the second toss.
A team gets one choice and only one choice to declare
heads or tails, Signora told the AP.
The coin landed on heads again, giving the Cardinals the
choice and they elected to receive. Arizona won it 26-20
moments later on Larry Fitzgeralds 5-yard touchdown
catch, two plays after his 75-yard reception.
It wasnt the only coin-related confusion of the day.
Earlier Saturday in the AFC divisional playoff game
between Kansas City and New England at Foxborough,
Massachusetts, referee Craig Wrolstad flipped the coin and

seven of the next eight passes thrown to Edelman.
Edelman took the blame for the drops.
That was just me trying to be too fast, he said. I
dropped some balls that I shouldnt have. You cant win
ballgames doing those kinds of things, so, Im personally
going to have to get back and do a lot more.
The 29-year-old former college quarterback at College of
San Mateo and Kent State also ran 11 yards on a reverse
early in the second half. After the game, reporters saw him
going to the X-ray room, but he said the team does not allow
him to talk about injuries.
That guy has got the heart of a lion, linebacker Rob
Ninkovich said. Hes just never going to give up on a play.
Ive been with him for a very long time now, and I respect
the way that he plays and how much he gives this team. So
again, tons of respect for No. 11, and Im happy that he was
able to be out there doing his thing.
Patriots coach Bill Belichick preferred to spread the credit around.
The more of those guys you have out there the harder it is
to defend, he said. Tom knows what to do with them, he
can find those matchups, thats what we need to do.
Its great to have Julian back, Belichick said. Its great
to have a lot of guys back that we had back today. Hopefully
theyll all be out there again Sunday.

Another playoff letdown for Chiefs


By Dave Skretta
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KANSAS CITY, Mo. The


Kansas City Chiefs have experienced myriad playoff heartbreaks
over the years, yet their loss to the
New England Patriots on Saturday
may have left an entirely different
kind of sting.
One that hurts no less.
This wasnt a blown 28-point
lead, like what happened two years
ago in Indianapolis. Or failure to
force a punt, which happened on
another occasion against the Colts.
This was a 27-20 defeat that left
the Chiefs wondering what might
have been.
What if their star players wide
receiver Jeremy Maclin, pass rushers Justin Houston and Tamba Hali,
even running back Jamaal Charles
werent dealing with injuries?
What if Knile Davis hadnt had a
costly fumble?
What if the Chiefs didnt squander
precious seconds at the goal line
trying to score their final touchdown, ruining their opportunity to
get the ball back?
No doubt it was successful, wide
receiver Albert Wilson said of the
season, but we did have one goal,
which was to get to the Super Bowl,
and we came up a little short.
Consider in order the frustrations
of the Chiefs first defeat in a dozen
games.
Maclin hurt his ankle in their
playoff win in Houston and did not
practice all week. And while he was
able to play sparingly Saturday, the
speed and quickness that made him
such a dangerous target for Alex

Panthers ride ginormous


lead to win over Seattle
By Barry Wilner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ROBERT DEUTSCH/USA TODAY SPORTS

Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith is brought down by Patriots defensive end


Rob Ninkovich in Saturdays AFC Divisional round playoff game.
and he was rendered nearly useless
against New England.
The same could be said of Justin
Houston and Tamba Hali, both of
whom dealt with ailing knees late
in the season. Houston came back
from a hyperextended knee to play
against the Texans, but he was still
experiencing pain and a shadow of
himself against the Patriots.
Charles has been out most of the
season, and the Chiefs got by with
Charcandrick West and Spencer
Ware. But both of them were also
hobbled in the postseason, hampering Kansas Citys ground game.
With the trio of Charles, West and
Ware hobbled by injuries, that
forced Davis into action at running
back. With a history of fumble troubles, few were surprised when he
coughed one up.
Then there was the time management at the end of the game.
Often criticized during his

Philadelphia tenure for his time


management, Reid was again left to
defend his use of the clock during a
wrap-up news conference at the
practice facility Sunday.
The Chiefs, trailing 27-13,
declined to use any of their timeouts
during a 16-play drive that took
more than 5 minutes off the clock.
Then, with first-and-goal and 2:33
left, the Chiefs allowed 25 seconds
to expire before the two-minute
warning, and several more seconds
to lapse before scoring.
That left them with 1:13 to go,
essentially forcing Kansas City to
try an onside kick. New England
tight end Rob Gronkowski recovered it, wrapping up the outcome.
Ultimately, it wasnt enough. The
injuries and miscues and time management problems proved to be too
much to overcome, leaving Kansas
City with another bitter ending to a
memorable season.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Four games


into his playoff career, Cam Newton
recognizes the key element to success. He calls it Big Mo, and there
couldnt have been a better example
than Carolinas 31-24 victory over
Seattle on Sunday.
Emphatically backing up their
superb regular season with one of the
most dominating halves in football
history, the Panthers then hung on
in the face of a furious Seahawks
rally before surviving.
The playoffs bring out more than
any other time the impact of Big
Mo, Newton said after Carolina
(16-1) moved into NFC title game,
which they will host next Sunday
against
Arizona
(13-3).
Momentum.
We cant wait for no one to make
plays for us.
The Panthers, winners of 12
straight at home, made all the
right plays in building a 31-0 lead,
then were dominated by the twotime defending NFC champs in the
second half. So if Carolina wins
its first NFL championship, it can
credit the lesson learned from the
Seahawks (11-7).
We have to find a way to complete a full game of football, the
All-Pro quarterback added. We have
been known to take our foot off the
throttle and we have to find that
killer instinct.
Newton noted how players, coaches and even the fans were feeling the

pressure in the
final 30 minutes
as Seattle staged
a
relentless
comeback.
It was a tale
of execution.
We needed a little more of that
Cam Newton in the second
half. You just
have to find ways to get your
groove back on.
Definitely.
Thats what this game is going to
teach us, said All-Pro linebacker
Luke Kuechly, who returned a firstquarter interception for a touchdown.
No matter how good you play in the
first half, the second half is just as
important. Its crazy - you go into
these games and you expect it to be
like this, so it wasnt a surprise for
us. But youve got to be locked in the
whole game.
Jonathan Stewart, returning from a
foot injury, scored two touchdowns
after jumpstarting the Panthers with
a 59-yard sprint on their first play.
Newton threw for a touchdown.
Then, Seattle showed its pedigree
and climbed back within seven
points.
We made a mess of it in the first
half, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll
said. We look at this game as a
microcosm of the season. We struggled so much early in the season to
get going, and it took us a long time.
When we finally did, we caught fire,
and got rolling. Everyone in here
just feels like we ran out of time.

AUSTIN, Texas Katie Ledecky was


barely in the pool when American swim
great Michael Phelps was asked about the
precocious teenager who seems to mow
down world records at will.
Its always something special when she
gets in the water, Phelps said with an eye
toward the timing board.
Is it ever. Minutes later, Ledecky produced
yet another special moment in her young
career by smashing her own world record in
the 800-meter freestyle with a scorching 8
minutes, 6.68 seconds Sunday night in the
Arena Pro Swim Series.
It was the fourth time the 18-year-old
who doesnt even have a drivers license yet
has broken the record since 2013, and
she crushed her previous mark of 8:07.39
set last year at the world championships.
I was feeling good going into it,
Ledecky said. I knew if I swam it the right
way, I could do something good. I didnt
know it would be that good.
This is getting routine for Ledecky in

the 800. She owns eight


of the top 10 times in
history.

Sunday night as the
crowd, knowing she was
on record pace, cheered
her on. American Becca
Mann was second, but far
Katie Ledecky back at 8:24.49.
Ledeckys race started
just a few minutes after Phelps beat Olympic
teammate and longtime rival Ryan Lochte
in the 200 individual medley in a battle
between the old guard of American swimming. Phelps is 30 and Lochte is 31 heading
into preparation for the Summer Games in
Brazil.
Lochte led after two lengths, only to be
caught over the final 10 meters as Phelps
ripped through the freestyle leg to win in
1:58.00. Lochte was second at 1:58.43.
Phelps, in lane four, could see Lochte, who
was out in lane seven and couldnt see
Phelps over the final 50 meters.
Lochte owns the world record and he and
Phelps hold all of the top 10 times in history.

finished a distant 19th after a mistake on the second run, while her
closest rival Lindsey Vonn of the
United States crashed out in the second run.
Eva-Maria Brem of Austria finished fourth to dislodge Gut from
the top of the giant slalom standings. Brem now has 392 points and
is 30 points clear of Gut. Gut
increased her overall lead over
Vonn, however, and is now 50
points clear at 750.

Rebensburg won the giant slalom


gold medal at the 2010 Olympics
and took the bronze four years later.
She also won the silver at last
years world championships.
But she had to wait three years for
her 11th World Cup win, after a
Super-G triumph in January 2012
in Cortina dAmpezzo, Italy.
You have to believe in yourself
and let your skis run, Rebensburg
said.
She was the first to start the first

run as falling snow and poor visibility slowed later starters. Drev
was ninth out of the gate and
clipped the German by .04 seconds.
The second run began in sunshine, but the snow returned by the
time the top runners started in
reverse order and all leaders had to
deal with poor visibility.
Vonn, winner of one giant
slalom race this season, appeared
to catch a rut with her right ski and
crashed out close to the finish line.

GATORS

compliment the star trio of their


aerial attack throughout 2015.
As the year went on, we had
plays that were for Dasch,
Gators head coach Pete Lavorato
said. But what we did, we created
more pass plays out of our basic
offense.
Daschbach was one of two
Gators to surpass the previous single-season record, set by Pat Bruni
in 2011 with 896 yards. Paced by

including an adept 65.1-percent

percentage

Daschbach broke the record Nov.


20 in a 42-21 win over Live Oak in
the Central Coast Section playoff
opener.
Two weeks later in a 35-28 win
over Riordan in the CCS title
game in which Daschbach had
the game-winning catch inside the
games final minute he became
the first SHP player ever to surpass
the 1,000-receiving yards plateau.
Also in that game, senior wide
receiver Nick ODonnell moved
past Bruni for second all-time in
single-season receiving yards.
ODonnell finished the year with
1,010 receiving yards.
The evolution of the playbook
was a big key to our success,
because in the past weve been so
run oriented, Daschbach said. It
really helped.
Working with third-year assistant coach Kevin Dos Remedios
who Lavorato refers to as his
right-hand man and first-year
assistant coach Mark Grieb, formerly the head coach at Menlo
College, Daschbach was one of
many offensive-minded Gators
who helped shape the playbook
that helped the team reach the CIF

Division III-A state championship


game.
Daschbach recalled seeing a
effective play from a Stanford
game this year based on a screen
pattern to Cardinal tight end
Austin
Hooper.
Daschbach
brought a clip of the play to show
his coaches, and the staff quickly
incorporated it into the SHP playbook.
Within the week, that was put
into our offensive playbook,
Daschbach said. A lot of that is
testament to Coach Lavoratos
football mind. I picture him up
late at night under a spotlight
writing up football plays. Hes
just kind of a mad scientist when it
comes to football.
While Daschbach is slated to
play baseball exclusively at
Stanford, he hasnt ruled out the
notion of following in the footsteps of former Heisman Trophy
finalist Toby Gerhart as a twosport athlete. Gerhart also played
baseball at Stanford.
I think he would do exceptionally well, Dressel said. His
height might be give him a bit of
a problem but I think he would
perform really well.
Prior to the start of the 2015
season, Lavorato said he suspected
football is Daschbachs favorite
sport. And to hear Daschbach talk
about even the prospect of playing two sports at Stanford, it
would be tough to disagree.
Yeah, its something that I
would definitely be interested in
doing, Daschbach said. If I get
the call from one of the football
coaches, I have a feeling my
answer would be yes. But the ball
is in their court. It would be a
dream come true. Maybe we can
make that a reality.

Anytime you know someone


who played in the NFL, as an athlete I immediately started to look
up to him, Daschbach said. He
was always a figure that I idolized.
When that position opened up at
Sacred Heart it definitely
inspired me to work hard at it and
learn the art.
Never having played organized
tackle football before arriving at
SHP, Daschbach started his gridiron career as a linebacker with the
junior-varsity squad as a freshman.
As a sophomore, however, he
quickly jumped at the chance to
play tight end when the varsity
position became available.
Daschbach had some serious
mentors to help groom him at
tight end. Not only was Dressel a
help with his receiving technique,
Daschbach also deferred to the
family of teammate JH Tevis
whose father Mike, playing on the
same teams with Dressel and
Elway, was the starting center at
Stanford for blocking pointers.
Dressel said all the components
were there immediately for
Daschbach to excel at tight end.
One, hes a smart kid, Dressel
said. So hes always using the
right technique and running the
right route. But to me it always
goes back to being the athlete.
Daschbachs smarts certainly
paid dividends throughout his sensational senior year. While SHP

Gooding didnt want to


meet with O.J. Simpson
By David Bauder
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

o people nd pets or do pets nd


people? Whos the lucky one, the
adopted pet or the adopter? Can a
new pet help repair the huge void in your
life when you lose a pet or a loved one?
These are questions we live with daily. I
believe people can nd pets and that pets
can nd people, and I also know that
adopters can and do feel like the lucky
ones when they adopt. While I dont
think its fair to expect one pet to replace
another all pets are different and we
love them for that which makes them
unique a new pet can absolutely help
people regain some of what theyve lost.
An adoption this week made me consider
these questions. A local man visited us
late last year and expressed interest in a
pit bull/black lab mix. Sadly, his mother
became ill, so his attention turned to her,
naturally. His mother passed away last
week. This man came back to see if his
boy was still available for adoption. He
was, and David adopted Tigger, renamed
Angus. On their rst day at home, Angus
immediately sat on the chair that used to
be his moms and this comforted him
greatly. When he found the words, this is
what he shared with us: Ive been rescued. Angus is adjusting more each day
and were only on day three . When I
start crying about my mom dying he lies
down next to me with a look like he
knows. So cool. I left him in my large
bathroom with a dog bed, water and a toy.
I put everything away but forgot about
the roll of toilet paper. Yes, he TPed me.
LOL. We are a great t and no longer
alone in this crazy world. He does stay
still and relaxed so I think hes happy
too. He sleeps in my bed. Thanks for the
help. David, thanks for your help!

PASADENA, Calif. Actor Cuba


Gooding, Jr., who portrays O.J. Simpson
in FXs 10-part miniseries on the 1995
murder trial, said he didnt want to meet the
former football star as part of his research
for taking on the role.
Gooding, who would not reveal at a news
conference Saturday his opinion on
whether Simpson stabbed his former wife
Nicole and her friend Ronald Goldman to
death in June 1994, said the Simpson he
needed to portray in the television film was
a much different man then, swaggering and
confident.
I had no desire to visit him in his present condition, being incarcerated and being
a shell of a man, he said. Gooding said he
gained weight and it took him a month to
recover from the grueling six-month filming.
The project, with executive producer
Ryan Murphy and actors like John
Travolta, David Schwimmer, Malcolm
Jamal-Warner and Gooding, has been getting strong word-of-mouth before its Feb. 2
premiere. Based on a book by CNNs
Jeffrey Toobin, writers and producers said
they worked hard to make the docudrama as
authentic as possible.
Writers said they were interested in showing viewers how the seeming certainty of
Simpsons guilt in the wake of the killings
unraveled during the trial.
Travolta, who played attorney Robert
Shapiro, said he took four months deciding
whether to take his first television role in
years. Hes listed as a producer he said it
was his hedge against making sure the project wasnt sensationalistic but found he
did little in that role.
Besides the story of a trial, The People
v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story
needed to reflect many undercurrents,
including race relations and the nature of
celebrity.
Schwimmer, who played lawyer Robert
Kardashian, at one point in the film pleads
with a gun-toting Simpson not to shoot
himself in Kimmys bedroom. The scenes
were shot in the house Kardashian and his
later-to-be-famous family lived in, which
brought it home to us in a way that was
really chilling, Schwimmer said.
Both Schwimmer, in the first flush of suc-

cess with Friends at the time of the trial,
and Travolta, in the midst of his Pulp
Fiction career resurgence, recalled the trial
happening at an intense time in their own
lives.
Producers and writers said they made no
effort to contact people involved in the
case who were still alive, relying primarily
on Toobins book. Murphy, taking advice
he said he learned from Julia Roberts when
she played Erin Brockovich, advised the
actors not to reach out to
the people they portrayed.
Nina Jacobson, an executive producer, said she
believed it took two decades
for a serious film to be made
on the trial primarily
because people were oversaturated by the case.
We needed time and distance to be able to come
back and look at it from a
character perspective, she
said.
Toobin, also a writer for
The New Yorker magazine
and a consultant on the
film, said he found it eerie
how meticulously producers
recreated the courtroom
where he sat for Simpsons

murder trial, down to the fabric on chairs.


He was jolted by the passing of time, however, when a director asked him why he didnt just Google some information that he
didnt know during the trial; Google didnt
exist at the time.
This was the most famous event in
American history that had never been dramatized, Toobin said. Im just fortunate
that Im involved in this story, but I knew
it would happen someday.

Sharp exchanges in fourth Dem debate


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHARLESTON, S.C. Eager to


rumble, Hillary Clinton and
Bernie Sanders jumped headlong
into Sunday nights presidential
debate by tangling over whos
tougher on gun control and
sketching sharply differing
visions for the future of health
care in America. It was the last
Democratic matchup before voting in the 2016 race begins in two
weeks, with both sides intent on
seizing the momentum.
Clinton rapped Sanders, the
Vermont senator, for voting
repeatedly with the National Rifle
Association, and then welcomed
his weekend reversal of position
to support legislation that would
deny gun manufacturers legal
immunity. She rattled off a list of
provisions she said Sanders had

FLOPS

spent more than $180,000 advertising on Facebook but that his
companys losses went far beyond
that.
I was a big fan up until this
claim, he said.
He used Facebook almost
exclusively to advertise the films
and when he contacted the company about the malicious mes-

ODDS
Continued from page 1
city signed off on it, declaring it
exempt for the need to obtain a
Coastal Development Permit.
But commission staff maintain
the exemption should not have
been given.
The project does not propose
to repair or maintain development
in its current legally established
form; rather it proposes to change
it
completely,
including
installing all new units and infrastructure. Of note, among other
caveats, the commissions regula-

supported in line with the NRA:


He voted against the Brady Bill
five times. He voted against what
we call the Charleston loophole.
He voted to let guns go on Amtrak,
guns to go into national parks.
Sanders, in turn, said Clintons
assertion that he kowtowed to the
gun lobby was disingenuous and
pointed to his lifetime rating of a
D- from the NRA.
On health care, Sanders released
his plan for a government-run single-payer plan just hours before
the debate, and used his opening
statement to call for health care
for every man, woman and child
as a right. Clinton, by contrast,
urged less sweeping action to
build on President Barack Obamas
health care plan.
Clinton
suggested
that
approach was dangerous and
unrealistic. She said that under

Obamas plan, we finally have a


path to universal health care. ... I
dont want to see us start over
again with a contentious debate.
Sanders countered: No one is
tearing this up; were going to go
forward.
The debate over gun control
an ongoing conflict between
Clinton and Sanders took on
special import given the setting.
The debate took plan just blocks
from the Emanuel African
Methodist Episcopal Church
where nine parishioners were
killed during Bible study last summer. Gun control has emerged as a
central theme in the race, with
Clinton citing the issue as one of
the major differences between the
candidates.
On Saturday night, Sanders
announced his support for legislation that would reverse a 2005 law

he had supported that granted gun


manufacturers legal immunity.
His changed position came in a
statement after days of criticism
from Clinton, who had attempted
to use his previous vote to undercut his liberal image.
Clinton immediately cast the
latest move as a flip-flop.
Sanders said he backed the 2005
law in part because of provisions
that require child safety locks on
guns and ban armor-piercing
ammunition. He also said he supported immunity then in part to
protect small shops in his home
state of Vermont.
There were things in it that I
did not like, and I was willing to
rethink, he said on NBCs Meet
the Press. We have rethought.
Sanders plan for a sweeping single-payer universal health care
system, an idea that Clinton has

argued would undercut Obamas


signature health care law. Sanders
would pay for his plan through
increased payroll taxes, a health
care premium and a top marginal
income tax rate of more than 50
percent.
Clinton
suggested earlier
Sunday that Sanders would need to
increase taxes on the middle class.
In an interview with Time magazine on Sunday, Sanders said that
his plan would ultimately save
taxpayers money by lowering
their health care bills.
Sanders, meanwhile, has questioned Clintons liberal credentials, casting the former secretary
of state as a Wall Street ally who
will switch her positions for
political gain. But hes vowed to
forgo negative attacks, a position
that may be hard to maintain as
the race intensifies.

sage potential customers were


getting, the company told him
the link would be put on a safe
list, according to the complaint.
But the problems persisted and
the films flopped.
The films did not do well. I
think we could have hit a home
run out of the ballpark because
faith-based films are hot at the

said.
It would have been better, he
said, if the Facebook message
would have warned customers that
atheists or nonbelievers might

be offended by the site.


The malicious warning may
have given customers the idea
that if they clicked on the link
that it might destroy their computers, he said.
The Facebook warning resulted
in less demand to see the films at
the cinema or buy them on DVDs,
according to the lawsuit, which
states that the company responded to Cheys complaints by saying its technical team was notified of the problems.
The films that flopped were
Final the Rapture, David and

Goliath and Epic Journey.


We risked our lives in North
Africa to film. We were shooting
in the heart of ISIS territory, he
said.
The killer bees also put the
crew at risk, said Chey, who is a
former atheist himself.
His companys losses are very
substantial, he said. Failed
negotiations with Facebook
prompted him to file the complaint.
A Facebook official told the
Daily Journal Friday, however,
that the company goes to great

lengths to protect its users from


malicious links.
Users could still click through
to Cheys site and many of them
did, the official said.
This lawsuit is without merit
and we will defend ourselves vigorously, the official said.
Chey has written, produced and
directed films with such actors as
Cuba Gooding Jr., Tom Sizemore,
Stephen
Baldwin,
Corbin
Bernsen, Malcolm McDowell and
Pam Grier, according to the complaint.

tions state that replacement of 50


percent or more of a structure is

instead constitutes replacement
requiring a CDP, the Coastal
Commissions Nancy Cave wrote
to the city in November.
The parks owners are currently
dismantling older trailers at the
park and replacing them all, 93,
with new prefabricated homes.
Pacifica officials say the commission has no authority to reconsider the citys exemption determination, according to a letter
sent to the commission Dec. 29.
On Friday, Cave was prepari n g a n ew l et t er t o s en d t o
Pacifica maintaining that it is
staffs opinion that the project

needs a CDP.
The commission itself has not
ruled on the matter, Cave said.
The park sits right at a cliffs
edge to the Pacific Ocean.
Rents at the park have typically been at below market rate but
the new homes are expected to
rent for double what tenants at
the park currently pay.
Most of the tenants have
already accepted up to $15,000 in
relocation assistance to leave the
park while the land is transformed into a more luxury community.
Ownerships goal is to have
75 percent vacancy by the end
of
J an uary,
s ai d
Caro l
McDermott, an adviser to the

ownership group.
Some of the tenants are refusing to accept the package, claiming it will do little to help them
pay the rent at a new location.
Some of the tenants who owned
their mobile homes have agreed
to sell them to ownership in
exchange for letting them reside
in a newer prefab home at a lower
rate, McDermott said.
Owners also plan to construct a
promenade at the cliffs edge and
have already torn down some
ancillary buildings on the property.
Late last year, private equity
firm The Carlyle Group invested
$42 million to bring in new manufactured homes and upgrade the

streets and utilities at the park.


In response to the situation in
Pacifica, the San Mateo County
Board of Supervisors passed an
urgency ordinance preventing the
closure of mobile home parks but
it only applies to eight properties
and only in unincorporated county
lands.
The parks fill an affordable
housing need in the county. The
average rent for a one-bedroom
apartment in San Mateo County is
$2,516, a 50.2 percent increase in
four years, according to the county
Housing Authority.
Coastal Commission staff has
asked the city to reconsider its
exemption or to seek a formal ruling by the commission itself.

RELIEF
Continued from page 1
Though the formal effort to collaborate with city and school officials on
development policy may have been
failed, Vahn Phayprasert, Millbrae
Elementary School District superintendent, said he believes there is more
work to be done.
Our commitment is still to work with
the city, he said. We will continue
these conversations.
Under state law, the school district
can charge developer fees dedicated
solely for capital improvements to campuses.
Millbrae Mayor Anne Oliva said during the council meeting school officials
should use the development fees as a
means of increasing revenue the district
could use for addressing the cost of
potential enrollment hikes.
School officials are in the process of
hiking the fees that can be charged to
developers, said Barbaro, but said he is
afraid the incremental hike may still be
insufficient to cover the cost of new
classroom construction.
Its very inadequate, Barbaro said of
the amount of money the district stands
to gain from fees charged to developers.
Councilman Wayne Lee, who voted
with Councilwoman Gina Papan against
the environmental impact report, said
he agreed with many of the school offi-

TURF
Continued from page 1
Sacramento.
He said union labor is commonly
employed to install turf fields, so the
interested parties collaborated in their
opposition of legislation which could
potentially harm sales of the synthetic surfaces.
I believe labor union is in bed with
the turf company, and they are doing
their bidding for them, he said.
The California Catholic Conference,
the International Union of Painters
and Allied Trades as well as the
Construction Trades Council of
California filed formal opposition of
the bill, according to state documents.
Cesar Diaz, a legislative director for
the trades council, said the union could
support a law which aimed to offer protections to those who are exposed to
potentially harmful chemicals in synthetic surfaces, but felt Hills bill was
too far reaching.
We are very thankful of Senator Hill
highlighting what could be an issue
with crumb rubber, he said. And we
do support his effort to study what the
impacts might be.

cials concerns.
He said he favored collaboration
between city and school officials in an
effort to address the needs of the
Millbrae community.
I think everyone has to take responsibility, said Lee. I think the city
should help coordinate with school and
the developers to ensure there is a careful and methodical way of ensuring that
all the needs of the citizens of the city
are met.
Lee said he would appreciate developers interested in building near the Bay
Area Rapid Transit and Caltrain station
taking a more proactive stance in supporting local schools, considering the
perceived pressure they are putting on
city officials to approve the projects.
I think it is in their best interest,
because they are the ones that are pushing this project down our throats, he
said.
Two developers have expressed interest in building projects in the area near
the rail station, which could bring
roughly 400,000 square feet of office
space, about 79,000 square feet of retail
space and more than 800 residential
units to the city.
City officials must first approve the
policy regulations before developers
can officially submit project plans.
Barbaro said he may soon suggest
school officials reach out directly to the
developers in an effort to gauge their
willingness to collaborate on cost-sharing initiatives.
Beyond the potential enrollment

growth expected to be brought on by


the rail station development, more students are projected to fill Millbrae classrooms over coming years due to the
citys changing demographics, according to a district report.
As young families move to Millbrae
and fill the homes formerly occupied by
elderly residents, the student population
of the local district will continue to
grow, according to the report.
The natural growth pattern has compelled school officials to issue requests
for proposals to companies interested
in gauging community support for a
potential bond measure.
For his part, Barbaro said he believes
it is imminent the district will eventually be forced to pursue a bond measure.
He said he fears ultimately the district
will face a significant expense associated with building new classrooms and
supports collaboration toward ensuring
Millbrae residents will not be solely
held accountable for the cost of construction.
If we need more classroom space, or
we need to build another school, where
is the money going to come from? The
developer is going to be gone, he said.
Barbaro said he hoped city officials
would elect to work with developers
committed to serving the best interest
of the local community.
Council needs to go with the developer that will be Millbrae friendly and
not leave Millbrae high and dry when
the project is over, he said.

But Diaz said the union would prefer


a bill which proposes further study of
all the chemicals that go into the composition of synthetic turf, rather than
solely the fields that use recycled
crumb rubber as infill.
If the senator wanted to look at
studying this impact and putting some
resources into that, we would be supportive of that, he said.
Due to uncertainty regarding the
potential health hazards associated
with extended exposure to the fields
which use recycled crumb rubber as
infill, Hills bill encouraged schools
or municipalities to discuss purchasing surfaces that use organic materials.
Alternative synthetic surfaces use
materials such as coconut fibers, rice
husks, sand or virgin crumb rubber as
infill, but the fields are frequently
more expensive, said Hill.
The Office of Environmental Health
Hazard Assessment is currently studying the potential health hazards of
exposure to recycled crumb rubber
fields, and the results are due to be
issued in 2018.
Hills bill proposed to go into effect
Jan. 1, 2017, and would have stayed in
place for the next three years while
legislators decided how to best proceed
with the information from the study.
Hill had initially aimed to imple-

ment a two-year moratorium on construction of recycled crumb rubber


fields, but decided to tackle the
research component after the construction and labor industry began to push
back.
But the defeat will not mark an end to
Hills commitment toward addressing
the potential health concerns associated with crumb rubber synthetic surfaces, he said.
Im not going to let go of the
issue, he said. Im not going to end
that battle. The entire goal of that legislation, and my goal, is to make sure
that school districts and municipalities in California are aware of the challenges and potential health risks associated with crumb rubber in turf.
He said he was not yet willing to
identify the methods which he would
use to continue his public information
campaign.
There are a number of ways that we
can create that awareness among
schools and municipalities and that is
what we are working towards, he said.
A variety of celebrities, such as
Jennifer Beals, Laura Dern, Sheryl
Crow, Ted Danson and Courtney Cox
assigned their collective star power
last year toward support of Hills field
turf bill prior to its failure in committee.
