Republicans take aim at controversial mandate from President Trump time-out on pot businesses

WASHINGTON President
Donald Trumps immigration order

Republicans in Congress, even as
officials from Trumps administration insist its a small price to pay

A 1960s forecast for the Bay Areas future

Police reports
Thats cold
A vehicle was stolen at California
Popsicle Inc. on Swift Avenue in South
San Francisco before 5:27 a. m.
Tuesday, Jan. 17.

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO

railblazing environmental writer

Harold Gilliam passed away recently, leaving a legacy that stretched
back to the 1960s when, among other
endeavors, he forecast the future of the Bay
Area.
Lets take a look in historys rear view
mirror to see what Gilliam, who died in
December at the age of 98, predicted in The
Face of San Francisco, a book that, surprisingly, was not listed in many of the
obituaries that noted several of his other
works, including Island in Time and
Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea:
The Struggle to Save the San Francisco Bay
Region and For Better or Worse: The
Ecology of an Urban Area.
The Face of San Francisco has an entire
chapter entitled The City of the Future in
which Gilliam called for regional planning.
The Bay Area had become a single community that has outgrown the boundaries
drawn a century ago, Gilliam wrote.
Efcient regional planning would take in
the Peninsula where the redwood forests
and beaches will provide much needed
breathing space for the future if they are
acquired as parks and not all lost to commercial development.
It may have been pure coincidence, but the
Association of Bay Area Governments was
founded a year later. Today residents of the
Bay Area are confronted with an alphabet
soup of regional agencies such as the

San Francisco,left, in the 1950s when men wore suits and women wore dresses. Environmental
writer Harold Gilliam, right, died last month.
Metropolitan Transportation Commission
and Bay Area Rapid Transit.
Jack Foster, whose family developed
Foster City, wrote in The Development of
Foster City that the huge project faced little, if any, opposition during a time he
called pro-development, a situation that
wouldnt last long with the coming of the
Bay Conservation and Development
Commission in 1965.
Regional efforts actually go back decades.
For instance, ABAG can trace its lineage to
1945 with the birth of the business sponsored Bay Area Council. Going back even
earlier, state voters in 1912 turned down a
ballot measure that could have consolidated
Bay Area cities into one great municipality
under San Francisco with the rest of the area
mere boroughs.
Gilliams vision of regional seemed to
follow the pattern set by the Greater San
Francisco movement behind the 1912 ballot, one in which San Francisco is the cen-

With vision and planning, the San
Franciscan of generations to come will still
live in a city that would be recognizable to
its present-day inhabitants, he wrote. He
will walk on downtown streets made pleasant by trees and owers with some streets
closed to automobiles. Gilliam foresaw a
day when high-speed trains would take San
Franciscans to any part of the Bay Area,
including the unspoiled beaches of Marin
and the Peninsula.

Cliffside Pacifica apartments set for demolition

By Alex Kekauoha
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

An apartment building located on the

bluffs above the ocean in Pacifica is scheduled to be demolished Monday, Jan. 30, city
officials said.
According to city officials, the building
at 310 Esplanade Ave., is at risk of collapsing into the ocean because of the eroding
bluff. Furthermore, the building contained
hazardous materials that would present a
significant threat to public health if another major storm or earthquake occurred that
caused part of the building to fall.
The vacant building at 310 Esplanade
poses a significant risk to public health and
safety, and the City is stepping in to demolish the structure, said Lori Tinfow, Pacifica
City Manager and Director of Emergency
Management. By demolishing the structure now, we will prevent further complications and expense associated with the
clean-up.
On Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2016, city officials determined that the building was unin-

habitable due to coastal erosion. The building was evacuated, and in December city
officials announced the building needed to
be demolished.
The announcement Friday, Jan. 27, of the
start of demolition comes just days after the
city announced progress in securing federal
funding to assist with the clean up of recent
storm damage. The city will also receive $1
million in state assistance and $2 million
from its insurance company for storm
repair.
Storms with heavy rains and king tides
continue to erode cliffs and create sink
holes in California. Officials in Pacifica
said they are monitoring conditions closely
as storms move through the state and accelerate coastal erosion.
The demolition will begin at 8 a.m.,
Monday, Jan. 30, at 310 Esplanade Ave. in
Pacifica. City officials will be available at 9
a.m. to answer questions about the demolition from the media. The demolition is
expected to be completed in one day, and
debris removal is expected to take two or
three days.

All held at SFO under Trumps order released

By Daniel Montes
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

Everyone who had been detained at San Francisco

International Airport under President Donald Trump's
Executive Order has been released, airport officials said
Sunday, Jan. 29, citing U. S. Customs and Border
Protection officials.
Dozens of non U.S. citizens were reportedly being held
over the weekend at airports across the country after Trump
issued an Executive Order Friday, Jan. 27, banning citizens
from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen
from entering the country and blocking any refugees from
entering for 120 days. Additionally, refugees from Syria
are blocked indefinitely, according to the order.
The detainees were being supported by thousands of protestors and dozens of lawyers willing to offer them legal
advice, who have gathered at the airport since Saturday.
We appreciate all those who have so passionately
expressed their concerns over the President's Executive
Order relating to immigration. We share these concerns
deeply, as our highest obligation is to the millions of people from around the world whom we serve. Although
Customs and Border Protection services are strictly federal
and operate outside the jurisdiction of the U.S. airports,
including SFO, we have requested a full briefing from this
agency to ensure our customers remain the top priority,
SFO officials said in a statement.
We are also making supplies available to travelers

South City cops bust alleged burglar

A convicted felon was arrested on suspicion of burglary
and possessing a gun and drugs, police said.
Officers responded at about 5:30 a.m. early Thursday, Jan.
26, to a home in the Sunshine Gardens neighborhood where
some neighbors had noticed a suspicious person leaving a
home known to be unoccupied, police said.
Offices allege that El Sobrante resident Bryce Landes, 44,
had stolen some things from the home and had a stolen
handgun and some drugs with him, according to police.
Landes was arrested and booked into the county jail on
$50,000 bail.

San Bruno assault suspects nabbed

Three people have been arrested in connection with a
gang-related assault and robbery that occurred in San Bruno
last year, according to police.
Police said officers responded to the 400 block of Linden
Avenue at 7:22 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 7 on reports of a
strong armed robbery.
Upon arrival, officers discovered a victim that had been
beaten by at least two suspects and had their cellphone
stolen, according to police.
With help from other Bay Area law enforcement agencies,
San Bruno police were able to arrest three suspects allegedly involved with this crime, police said.
A Santa Rosa man, South San Francisco woman and juvenile were arrested in connection with the robbery. The
names of the adult suspects have been withheld in order to
avoid compromising the ongoing investigation, police
said.

affected by this Executive Order, as well as to the members

of the public who have bravely taken a stand against this
action by speaking publicly in our facilities, according to
the airport's statement.
An emergency stay was granted Saturday, Jan. 28,
evening by a federal judge in New York, blocking deportations after the American Civil Liberties Union took legal
action on behalf of two individuals detained in New York
under the order.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said it would
continue to enforce all of the president's orders but that it
would also comply with judicial orders.
President Trump's Executive Orders remain in place-prohibited travel will remain prohibited, and the U.S. government retains its right to revoke visas at any time if required
for the national security or public safety. President Trump's
Executive order affects a minor portion of international
travelers and is a first step towards reestablishing control
over America's border and national security, the department's statement read.
No foreign national in a foreign land, without ties to
the United States, has any unfettered right to demand entry
into the United States or to demand immigration benefits
in the United States. The Department of Homeland Security
will comply with judicial orders; faithfully enforce our
immigration laws, and implement Presidents Trump's
Executive Orders to ensure that those entering the United
States do not pose a threat to our country or the American
people," according to the department's statement.

Police said officers responded to the 600 block of

classes on how to run for office.
If we learn anything as a liberal community, Id hope that its time to stop thinking
Id like to do something, and time to take
that action, said Clow, 43, who is running
for the village board in her town outside of
Madison in the April election with the help
of an organization that recruits Democratic
women candidates.
Its fun and exciting to march and its
boring to go down to village hall to vote,
but we have to learn to do both, she said.
Trumps election has sparked what liberal
groups say is unprecedented activism. The
most visible manifestation of that were
protest marches the day after Trumps inaugural, which drew millions to Washington,
D.C., and other locations across the country
and overseas. Those were followed by
demonstrations at airports and in cities this
weekend against Trumps executive order
prohibiting entry into the U.S. by people
from seven countries and also limiting
refugees.
Much of the discussion since the marches
has revolved around how to turn that energy
into an effective movement, especially
through electoral politics. Democrats have
been decimated in elections at the state and

local level during the past eight years, and

have their best chance to stymie Trump if
they can seize control of the House of
Representatives in the 2018 elections.
The morning after the election, Ethan
Todras-Whitehill embodied liberals dilemma in bright blue western Massachusetts
no Republicans other than Trump were on
the ballot to vote against. He began
googling to find his nearest swing district
and thought why not create a tool to help
others like him?
The day before Trumps inauguration, he
and some friends debuted swingleft.org,
which lets people find their nearest House
swing district and register to help flip the
House in 2018. Todras-Whitehill says
250,000 people have already signed up.
Theres been grumbling from some liberal
activists that the effort wasnt coordinated
with Democratic party officials who are
already trying to flip the House. We cant
be waiting around for someone else to do
something,
Todras-Whitehill
said.
Everyone needs to be standing up and doing
something on their own.
That scattershot approach has taken hold
everywhere. While the organizers of last
weekends Womens Marches havent
announced future demonstrations, there are
already plans in the works for scientists to
march in protest of Trump, for nationwide
protests on April 15 demanding the president release his tax returns.
In cities around the country, people are
marching on congressional offices, joining

liberal organizations and lobbying their

local representatives.
Theres a battle raging on multiple fronts
and you have the feeling of being surrounded, said Chris Newman, legal director of the
National Day Laborers Organizing Network.
The most important thing is to focus on
whatever hill you have and hold your hill.
Newmans group focuses on immigrant
rights and has been using a strategy honed
in fights against former Maricopa County
Sheriff Joe Arpaio, whose immigration
crackdown in Arizonas largest county is a
possible model for the Trump administration. The group has been co-hosting community meetings where nervous immigrants
and eager, mobilized new volunteers can
learn the basics of immigration law and how
to protect their rights.

Theyve also been pushing state and local

officials to step up protections for immigrants. The pressure for action will be felt
more sharply on the local level, Newman
said. There are increasing expectations for
mayors and governors and state lawmakers.
Neil Aquino, 49, has high expectations
for his local elected officials in Houston.
Texas may be a solidly Republican state but
its cities are increasingly Democratic and
Aquino is writing all of Houstons elected
Democrats demanding they step up and fight
Trump. I dont find the response from local
Democrats is matching the anxiety people
feel, said Aquino, an artist.
Liz Merriweather is also contacting her
elected officials, though they are
Republicans. As part of a Womens March
follow-up project shes writing postcards to
her congressional representatives from
Tennessee. Shes waiting for more direction
this is the 56-year-old therapists first
political activity.
Over the past eight years, Ive kind of
gotten complacent and felt things are in
good hands and I can trust officials, she
said. But people like me, your average citizen, have a duty to take action.

Gov. Brown: Drivers license penalty harms the underpriviledged

By Sophia Bollag
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO When Aaron Cutchon

was laid off from his job at an auto body
shop, he could no longer afford to pay for
two traffic tickets he got for driving in a carpool lane.
His license was suspended, and he had to
stop attending classes at a Napa junior college where he was working toward an associates degree.
New legislation in California supported by
Gov. Jerry Brown would eliminate such a
dilemma by forbidding courts from taking
licenses from people just because they cant
pay their fines.
State Sen. Robert Hertzberg introduced a
bill this week that would ban the practice.
Brown and Hertzberg say the current policy
disproportionately targets low-income
Californians and can send people into a cycle
of job losses and more poverty.

What weve learned is

it ruins peoples lives,
said
Hertzberg,
a
Democrat from Van Nuys.
The privilege of driving
should not be connected
with the size of your wallet.
Cutchon, 35, said his
Jerry Brown two tickets have snowballed from roughly
$900 to about $2,000 because of added fines
and fees. He found a new job at a warehouse
but said he doesnt make enough to pay off
the tickets and cant get a higher-paying job
because he doesnt have a license. The
money he does make goes toward rent and
taking care of his three children, said
Cutchon, who lives in Cordelia, an area that
overlaps the Bay Area city of Fairfield.
Im kind of stuck, in a sense, with this
job, Cutchon said.
Theresa Zhen, an attorney at the East Bay

Community Law Center in Berkeley, said she

often sees clients who are limited to lowpaying jobs because of suspended licenses.
Peoples lives are unraveled by one traffic
ticket, Zhen said.
The issue garnered national attention after
the U.S. Department of Justice found similar
laws in Ferguson, Missouri, burdened poor
residents with crippling debt, according to
a 2015 report.
In California, about 613,000 people had
suspended drivers licenses for unpaid traffic
tickets or missing related court appearances
as of August 2015, the most recent number
the department could provide, DMV
spokesman Artemio Armenta said.
In his state budget proposal this month,
Brown called for ending the practice, saying
there does not appear to be a strong connection between the license suspensions and
collecting unpaid fines.
Often, the primary consequence of a drivers license suspension is the inability to

legally drive to work or take ones children

to school, the Democratic governor wrote.
Hertzberg said his new bill, SB185, prevents courts from suspending someones
license simply because they cant afford to
pay. He said he agreed to drop a similar proposal last year after the Department of
Finance asked for more time to study the
idea.
Opponents have argued removing the
penalty would eliminate a tool to help the
state collect traffic fines. The California
State Association of Counties and the
California Police Chiefs Association
declined to comment on the governors proposal, although they opposed Hertzbergs
previous plan, which was part of early versions of the 2016 bill SB881.
SB881 eliminates any incentive for
individuals to pay outstanding debt for traffic violations they received and failed to
pay, the California Association of
Counties wrote in a June letter to Hertzberg.

President wants local police for immigration crackdown

By Jacques Billeaud
and Amy Taxin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHOENIX To build his highly touted

deportation force, President Donald Trump
is reviving a long-standing program that
deputizes local officers to enforce federal
immigration law.
The program received scant attention
during a week in which Trump announced
plans to build a border wall, hire thousands
more federal agents and impose restrictions
on refugees from Middle Eastern countries.
But the program could end up having a
signicant impact on immigration enforcement around the country, despite falling out
of favor in recent years amid complaints
that it promotes racial proling.
More than 60 police and sheriffs agencies had the special authority as of 2009,
applying for it as the nations immigration
debate was heating up. Since then, the number has been halved and the effort scaled
back as federal agents ramped up other
enforcement programs and amid complaints ofcers werent focusing on the
goal of catching violent offenders and
instead arrested immigrants for minor vio-

lations, like driving

with broken tail lights.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio used
the
program
most
aggressively in metro
Phoenix, and he became
arguably the nations
best-known immigration enforcer at the local
Donald Trump level in large part
because of the special
authority. In a strange twist, he was thrown
out of ofce in the same election that vaulted Trump to the presidency, mostly because
of mounting frustration over legal issues
and costs stemming from the patrols.
In his executive order this week, Trump
said he wants to empower local law enforcement to act as immigration ofcers and
help with the investigation, apprehension, or detention of immigrants in the
country illegally.
The move comes at a time when the country is sharply divided over the treatment of
immigrants. Cities such as Chicago and
San Francisco have opposed police
involvement in immigration while some
counties in Massachusetts and Texas are
now seeking to jump in.

Proponents
say
police departments
can
help
bolster
immigration enforcement and prevent
criminals from being
released back into
their neighborhoods,
while critics argue
that deputizing local
Joe Arpaio
officers will lead to
racial profiling and erode community trust
in police.
Cecillia Wang, an American Civil
Liberties Union attorney, said police bosses who want to get into immigration
enforcement should consider what happened when 100 of Arpaios deputies were
given the federal arrest power.
The longtime sheriff used the authority
to carry out traffic patrols that targeted
immigrants. The patrols were later discredited in a lawsuit in which a federal
judge concluded Arpaios officers had
racially profiled Latinos. The lawsuit so
far cost county taxpayers $50 million.
There are people like Joe Arpaio who
have a certain political agenda who want
to jump on the Trump bandwagon, Wang

said, adding later that the Arizona sheriff

was most vocal and shameless offender
in the program.
When asked to comment on Trumps
effort to revitalize the program, a
Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman said the executive orders would
speak for themselves.
Traditionally, police stayed out of
immigration enforcement and left those
duties to federal authorities. But a 1996
federal law opened up the possibility for
local agencies to participate in immigration enforcement on the streets and do citizenship checks of people in local jails.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement
trained and certified roughly 1, 600 officers to carry out these checks from 2006
to 2015.
The Obama administration phased out
all the arrest power agreements in 2013,
but still let agencies check whether people jailed in their jurisdiction were citizens. If they find that an inmate is in the
country illegally, they typically notify
federal authorities or hand them over to
immigration officers. Today, more than 30
local agencies participate in the jail program.

Environmentalists preparing to battle Trump, GOP in court

By Tammy Webber
and John Flesher
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO The night before Donald

Trumps inauguration, ve environmental
lawyers led a federal court brief defending
an Obama administration clean-water rule
that the new president and his Republican
allies have targeted for elimination, considering it burdensome to landowners.
The move served as a warning that environmentalists, facing a hostile administration and a Republican-dominated Congress,

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

are prepared to battle in court against what

they fear will be a wave of unfavorable policies concerning climate change, wildlife
protection, federal lands and pollution.
Advocacy groups nationwide are hiring
more staff lawyers. Theyre coordinating
with private attorneys and rms that have
volunteered to help. Theyre reviewing
statutes, setting priorities and seeking donations.
Its going to be all-out war, said
Vermont Law School Professor Patrick
Parenteau. If youre an environmentalist or
conservationist, this is indeed a scary time.

mind you have the easy option to just say

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

Trumps first week in office only heightened their anxieties. He moved to resume
construction of the Keystone XL and

administration had halted, while signaling
intentions to abandon his predecessors

and slash the Environmental Protection

things, said Pat Gallagher, director of the

he said is likely to grow as environmentalists increasingly regard the courts as their

Trump ban inspires wide anger, some global applause

By Lynne ODonnell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON Anger and dismay, along

with congratulations from Europes farright, rippled across the world Sunday as
politicians, community leaders and even a
sports star reacted to the entry ban U.S.
President Donald Trump imposed on
refugees and citizens of seven Muslimmajority nations.
As the realization sank in that people
with dual-citizenship who live outside the
targeted Mideast and African countries
would be affected, condemnation mixed
with concern about families with traveling
members who could be prevented from
returning to the United States they call
home.
Olympic long-distance running champion Mo Farah born in Somalia, citizen
and knight of Britain, U.S. resident and currently training in Ethiopia wondered how
he would tell his children that daddy might
not be able to come home.
The ban, Farah said in a statement on his
Facebook page, comes from a place of
ignorance and prejudice and seems to have
made me an alien.
In Iran, director Asghar Farhadi said the
ban had prompted him to skip this years
Academy Awards, where his lm The
Salesman is nominated for best foreign
language lm.
He condemned the unjust conditions
forced upon some of my compatriots and the
citizens of the other six countries, and
expressed hope that the current situation
will not give rise to further divide between
nations.
Etihad Airways, the United Arab Emirates
national airline, said some of its passengers
were affected by the new policies and like
other major airlines, was working closely
with American ofcials on the matter.
Leaders of Britain and Germany joined
other American allies in criticizing Trumps
entry ban, even as some far-right politicians expressed hope the move would
inspire similar measures in Europe.
British Prime Minister Theresa May does
not agree with Trumps order and will

challenge the U.S. government if it has an

adverse effect on British nationals, a
spokesman said. The ofcial comment came
after May said during a meeting Saturday
with Turkish leaders the decision was a matter solely for the U.S.
Her main political rival, Labour Party
leader Jeremy Corbyn, called for Trump to
be banned from visiting Britain until the
temporary travel restrictions are rescinded.
A petition on the British Parliaments
website attracted hundreds of thousands of
signatures backing its call for Trump, who
has been invited to meet Queen Elizabeth II,
to be barred on the basis of misogyny and
vulgarity.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who
has drawn re for her governments welcoming refugee policies, also regretted the ban.
Merkel raised the issue during a phone
call with Trump Saturday, citing the 1951
Geneva Refugee Convention that calls on
signatories to take in people eeing war,
spokesman Steffen Seibert said.
She is convinced that even the necessary, resolute ght against terrorism doesnt justify putting people of a particular origin or particular faith under general suspicion, Seibert said.
He said Germanys government will now
examine what consequences the U.S. governments measures have for German citizens with dual citizenship and, if necessary,
represent their interests toward our
American partners.
The order Trump issued Friday includes a
90-day ban on travel to the U.S. by citizens
of Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia
and Yemen, and a 120-day suspension of the
U.S. refugee program.
Inuential Iraqi cleric Muqtada al-Sadr
reacted by suggesting all Americans should
be forced out of Iraq in retaliation, according to a statement from his ofce.
The European Unions foreign policy
chief, Federica Mogherini, also was sharp
in her criticism of Trumps move.
All men are rst and foremost human
beings, with their inalienable rights,
Mogherini wrote in a blog post. She added:
It feels so strange that we need to restate
this,
just
days
after

President Donald Trump signs an executive order to impose tighter vetting of travelers
entering the United States
Remembrance Day.
In contrast, nationalist and far-right
groups in Europe applauded the restrictions
and said they should be used a model for the
continent.
The Dutch anti-Islam populist Geert
Wilders said in a tweet: Well done
(at)POTUS its the only way to stay safe +
free. I would do the same. Hope youll add
more Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia
soon.
The far-right National Democratic Party
in Germany celebrated the massive restriction on the entry of pseudo-refugees and
Muslims to the USA.
In Italy, the leader of the anti-immigrant

Northern League party also expressed admiration. What Trumps doing on the other
side of the ocean, Id like it done also here,
Matteo Salvini told reporters.
Referring to the hundreds of thousands of
asylum-seekers and economic migrants rescued while crossing the Mediterranean and
brought to Italy in recent years, Salvini said
there is an invasion underway which needs
to be blocked. He is pressing for early
elections and courting other far-right leaders for a possible campaign coalition.
Italys Interior Minister Marco Minniti,
who had held top security roles in recent
governments, warned against equating
immigration and terrorism.

member has been taken in our ght against

the evil of radical Islamic terrorism, Trump
said in a statement.
The U.S. has been striking al-Qaida in
Yemen from the air for more than 15 years,
mostly using drones, and Sundays surprise
pre-dawn raid could signal a new escalation
against extremist groups in the Arab
worlds poorest but strategically located
country.
An al-Qaida ofcial and an online news
service linked to the terror group said the
raid left about 30 people dead. Among the
children killed was Anwaar, the 8-year-old
daughter of Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical
Yemeni-American cleric killed in a U.S.
airstrike in Yemen in 2011, according to the
girls grandfather.
Nasser al-Awlaki told The Associated
Press that Anwaar was visiting her mother
when the raid took place. She was shot in
the neck and bled for two hours before she
died, he said.
U.S. Central Command said in a statement that three service members were

wounded in the raid and that a fourth one was

injured in a hard landing in a nearby location. The aircraft was unable to y afterward
and was intentionally destroyed, it added.
It said 14 militants from al-Qaidas
branch in Yemen, formally known as alQaida in the Arabian Peninsula, were killed
in the assault and that U.S. service members
taking part in the raid captured information that will likely provide insight into
the planning of future terror plots.
A U.S. defense ofcial said the raid was
approved by Trump. President Barack
Obama had been briefed on it before he left
ofce on Jan. 20, but for operational reasons it was not ready to be executed before
he departed, according to the ofcial, who
was not authorized to discuss details beyond
those announced by the Pentagon and so
spoke on condition of anonymity.
Yemeni security and tribal ofcials said
the raid in Yemens central Bayda province
killed three senior al-Qaida leaders: AbdulRaouf al-Dhahab, Sultan al-Dhahab, and
Seif al-Nims.

OPINION

THE DAILY JOURNAL

lates Henry Grabars Dec. 14

article They Can Just Take an
Uber should give transportation agencies, including our own
SamTrans and
Caltrain, a moment
of significant
cause for concern.
In the article,
Grabar explains
that transportation
agencies all over
the country are
looking to implement cost-saving
partnerships with Transportation
Network Companies, or TNCs, such
as Uber and Lyft. To anyone whos
digitally hailed a ride from one of the
aforementioned app-based tech companies, this may seem like an economically sound plan. They are easy
to book for anyone with a smartphone, and they are more times than
not, cheaper and more convenient
than other options out there. But
thats not the whole picture.
To start, lets look at the Americans
with Disabilities Act civil rights
issues here. Working at a disability
nonprofit, I see how the laws various
transportation components, i.e., bus
ramps, paratransit, audible announcements, etc. have all helped to transform the lives of many people.
Persons with disabilities no longer
need to remain homebound, or as history had once treated us, locked up in
institutions.
Uber, like other TNCs, does not
own any vehicles. They hire drivers
as independent contractors (more
on that later) who use their own vehicles for the service. Traditional public
and private transportation companies
owning fleets of vehicles have to
abide by ADA requirements, such as
offering wheelchair accessible vehicles for those needing them. Uber has
successfully argued in court that since
they dont own any of the vehicles,
they dont have to provide ADAaccessible transportation. A slick
move perhaps, but one that is discriminatory and disadvantageous to
many among us.
Yes, Uber has come out with acces-

sible vehicle options with their new

WAV feature, but I have yet to find a
single WAV wheelchair accessible
vehicle anywhere; even in San
Francisco.

Independent contractors:
A hidden liability
One of the reasons why TNCs are
inexpensive options is because they
have passed all of the liability onto
their employees. This would, in the
unfortunate scenario when someone
gets hurt, limit the amount of coverage the injured party could attempt to
recoup for medical bills and injuries.
Traditional taxi companies provide
much higher insurance coverage for
their employees.
Further, since TNCs use independent contractors, they dont have to
contribute to important benefits such
as Social Security, health insurance,
overtime and paid leave. This risky
model leaves employees with none of
the safeguards established in regular
employment.
Finally, most taxi companies and
public transportation agencies have
union represented employees; there
are no such forms of collective bargaining for independent contractors.

Penny wise and pound foolish

Anyone who has ever hailed an
Uber or Lyft from San Francisco
International Airport to, say, Menlo
Park, should know that $15 (a fare I
once paid) seems incredibly low for a
20-mile ride.
In what appears to be an attempt to
drive out all other competition,
including public options and the taxi
industry as a whole, TNCs have been
deflating the actual cost of their services by subsidizing large portions of
it.
Bloomberg reported Aug. 25 that,
Uber Los[t] at least $1.2 billion in
the first half of 2016. Even for a private company valued at over $50 billion (all venture capital funding),
thats an unprecedented loss for a
startup. But for these companies, its
a temporary problem to a nearly certain future a monopolization of the
industry.

Guest
perspective
With public and other private transportation competition eliminated,
TNCs will control the market and
undoubtedly drive up their prices. Way
up. If at that point, we have abandoned public transportation, its infrastructure and other private entities for
these digital hail-a-rides, you could
bet these companies will be looking
to make back the billions theyd lost
getting there.

Monopolization exploits
consumers and stifles
competitive innovation
Weve seen how horrible the
monopolization of the telecommunications, airline and insurance industries has been for consumers. With
only one player in town, these industries have no incentive to make their
products and services better. With
competition eliminated, they can
charge whatever they want. As evidenced by many consumer rating
reports, we typically dont like the
end results of monopolized industries.
Now more than ever, we need to
strengthen our public sector. We need
to make sure that essential services
like public transpiration, education
and health care are accessible to
everyone and that they have significant oversight from the public. We
need a balance to runaway capitalism.
We need to consider the consequences
of this burgeoning sharing economy,
whether intended or not, and plan how
to address the aspects that would be
detrimental.
To any SamTrans board member
considering TNCs as a cost-saving
measure: Hear these concerns now, as
history will not look back fondly on
short-sighted penny-pinching.

day after the inauguration, millions of peaceful

protesters filled the streets of all major cities in
the United States. Some chanted, but many more
felt, he is not our president. The day before at the inauguration, the new leader of the free world made no effort to
reconcile with the majority of Americans who voted
against him. The divide in our country is now dangerously
wide and deep. The Obama days of no blue states and no
red states but one United States of America seem remote.
Can the center our government by the people and for
the people hold? Will anarchy or despotism replace it?
***
William Butler Yates wrote The Second Coming in
1919 after the first world war. But his poem is cited as
prophetic to explain the rise of Hitler. His poem has been
quoted more in 2016 than in any other time in the past 30
years. Below is the first stanza.
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
***
Has it come to this, that
the center, the anchor of
representative government, the ability to cooperate, compromise and
seek common ground, can
no longer hold and that the
best of America is drowned
by lack of conviction
while those voicing our
worst instincts are full of
passionate intensity?
***
If only the new president had given a speech
similar to U. S. Sen. Roy
Blunt, Republican of
Missouri, who served as
chair of the inaugural ceremonies. Blunt talked about
history and previous presidents and what they said in
their inaugural addresses, and how these rituals were
not celebrations of victory but celebrations of democracy. The new president gave a campaign speech to
appeal to his supporters (which was fine) but nothing
to ease the concerns of those who opposed his agenda.
Nothing about the prestige of the office and its magnificent history.
Blunt reminded us that in the beginning Washington
felt future inaugurations were more important than the
first because it demonstrated that in this new country we
could turn over control of government willingly. And during times when opposing views were as dramatic as they
are today, one group willingly gave up control of government to those with a very different view. Jefferson in his
inaugural speech said we are all Republicans and we are all
Federalists. Lincoln reminded us that even in the thick of
a Civil War we all pray to the same God. And Ronald
Reagan told us that what we do is both commonplace and
miraculous. Commonplace and miraculous because we
have been doing this every four years since 1789.
Franklin Roosevelt told a country wracked by the Great
Depression that you have nothing to fear but fear itself
and Kennedy reminded us to ask what you can do for your
country.
We heard none of that from the new president. Instead,
America would come first. America First brings a chill to
any of us who lived through the second world war and
remember it stood for an isolationist country unwilling to
help its struggling ally, Great Britain. At a time when we
are more interconnected with countries and people around
the world than ever before, when business and consumers
depend on markets and buyers in other countries, the protectionist goals outlined by the new president wont
work. And for someone who shows little interest in history, he seems to ignore the fact that NATO and the
European Union were formed to avoid another world war.
Because of these alliances, France and Germany are now
friends, not enemies.
***
The one thing that may give us hope is that the office is
bigger than the man or woman who holds it. We cannot let
one person degrade it. The outpouring of people who
thronged the streets in almost every major city in the
United States following the inauguration may make one of
Yates predictions wrong. Lets hope the best use their
passionate intensity to protect our democracy and the
office of the presidency of which we should be proud.
Lets defend the right of the press to say the emperor has
no clothes.

State looks to build $7 billion legal pot economy

By Michael Blood
and Don Thompson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO The future of

Californias legal marijuana industry is
being shaped in a warren of cubicles tucked
inside a retired basketball arena, where a
garden of paper cannabis leaves sprouts on
le cabinets and a burlap sack advertising
USA Home Grown dangles from a wall.
Here, in the outskirts of Sacramento, a
handful of government workers face a daunting task: By Jan. 1, craft regulations and
rules that will govern the states emerging
legal pot market, from where and how
plants can be grown to setting guidelines to
track the buds from elds to stores.
Getting it wrong could mean the robust
cannabis black market stays that way
outside the law undercutting the attempt
to create the nations largest legal marijuana economy. The new industry has a projected value of $7 billion, and state and
local governments could eventually collect
$1 billion a year in taxes.
California is building the airplane while
its being own, lamented state Sen. Mike
McGuire, a Democrat whose sprawling
Northern California district includes some
of the worlds most prized pot elds.
He questions if the state can meet January
deadlines to create a coherent system that
accounts for the loosely regulated medical
marijuana industry, now two decades old and
developing its own rules, while transforming the enormous illegal market into a
legal, licensed one.
Its going to take us 10 years to dig out
of the mess we are in, predicted McGuire,
referring to the unruly market, legal and
not.
Its likely that tens of thousands of people and businesses will need licensing. The
job of overseeing the industry touches on
issues from protecting water quality for sh
in streams near pot grows, to safely collecting hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes
from businesses that often operate in cash.
Inside the former arena, Lori Ajax, the
states top pot regulator, acknowledged the

challenges but said the state can, indeed

must, be ready on Jan. 1 when California is
required to issue licenses.
Were small but mighty, she said of her
staff of 11 full-time workers spearheading
the project.
The new law calls for nearly 20 different
types of licenses, including permits for
farmers; delivery services that will take pot
to a buyers front door; testing labs; distributors; and dispensary operators at the retail
level.
Part of the job heading toward the start of
next year falls to other agencies, including
the Food and Agriculture Department, which
will issue licenses for cultivators.
In November, California joined a growing
number of states in legalizing recreational
marijuana use for adults. In general, the
state will treat cannabis like alcohol, allowing people 21 and older to legally possess
up to an ounce of pot and grow six marijuana plants at home.
The law kicks in Jan. 1, 2018, but many
communities already turn an indifferent eye
toward pot smoking and local cultivators.
Earlier this month, Gov. Jerry Brown proposed spending more than $50 million to
establish programs to collect taxes and
issue licenses while hiring dozens of workers to regulate the industry, a gure some
say is too low. His ofce stresses that one
regulatory framework is needed, not separate ones for recreational and medical
cannabis, even though there are laws for
each that could duplicate costs and confuse
businesses.
One of the new laws requirements calls
for the state to develop a computerized system to track cannabis, sometimes called
seed-to-sale monitoring. Its envisioned
that scanners will be used to keep tabs on
pot as it moves from the leafy raw product
to street-level sales.
McGuire, however, projects it could take
much of this year for the state to evaluate
and hire a company to do the work, making
it questionable if a functioning system
could be in place when legal sales launch in
January.
Attorney Aaron Herzberg, a partner at

REUTERS

State officials are hopeful to establish a hefty economic engine through marijuana sales.
CalCann Holdings, which leases property
to cannabis operations, called the governors funding only a starting point. He
doesnt believe theres enough time to get a
regulatory system in place by January.
You are always going to have a black
market, he said. To make the new economy
work, you have to reduce the black market
to tolerable levels.
With the rules in development, there are
concerns that cottage-industry growers
could be driven out by corporate-type businesses, much the way large-scale agribusiness doomed family farms in the Midwest.
State Treasurer John Chiang, who is running for governor, has asked President
Donald Trump for guidance on how the
states marijuana industry can participate in
the nations banking system, while pot
remains illegal under U.S. law.

Legislators will hold a hearing Monday

on whether the state can meet the January
deadline.
Ajax, whose agency is an arm of the
California Department of Consumer Affairs,
is well-versed in controlled substances. Six
badges she carried while rising through the
ranks as an agent with the state Department
of Alcoholic Beverage Control are on display in her sunny, corner ofce.
Along with her extensive experience, she
brings a sense of humor to the job. Her
ofce decor includes a psychedelic-style
painting of a 1960s hippie wearing a peace
symbol necklace with a marijuana plant,
joints and a bong.
Its inscribed by the artist to the new czarina of weed.
Were condent that we can get this
accomplished, Ajax said.

Tech tracks international tree shortage through new app

pollution, and easing the effects of climate

change the schools Senseable City Lab
has developed an online platform that maps
out the canopy in some major cities to make
it easier for urban planners and ordinary citizens to see where more are needed.
The project, called Treepedia, uses
Google Street View to create what the MIT
team calls the Green View Index.
Trees block shortwave radiation and
increase water evaporation, creating more
comfortable microclimates and mitigating
air pollution, lab director Carlo Ratti said.
But they also just make people feel better,
Ratti said, channeling Harvard biologist
E.O. Wilsons biophilia theory that humans
innately seek out connections with nature.
We as humans have a natural willingness
and desire to be in green spaces, he said.
The interactive website gives birds-eye
views of 15 cities, with trees represented by
green dots. Users can zoom into a particular
neighborhood or individual street to see
ground-level images.
The City of Lights apparently isnt the
city of trees. Of the cities mapped so far,
Paris scores lowest with a Green View Index
score of 8.8 percent.
North American cities tend to score higher than European cities. Singapore, however, ranks the highest with a 29.3 percent
score, slightly ahead of Vancouver, British
Columbia.
The other cities mapped so far are
Amsterdam; Boston; Frankfurt, Germany;
Geneva, Switzerland; London; Los Angeles;

New York; Sacramento, California; Seattle;

Tel Aviv, Israel; Toronto; and Turin, Italy.
More cities are being added.
In the future, the goal of this project is
to start a conversation so that cities can see
how they compare with one another and
how they can learn from each other, Ratti
said.
He also hopes ordinary citizens will use
the website to check out their own homes,
and advocate with municipal ofcials for
more trees in their neighborhoods.
The project was inspired by the World
Economic Forums Global Agenda Council
on the Future of Cities, which included
increasing tree canopy cover on a list of top
10 urban innovations.
We hope that this endeavor will give citizens a greater appreciation of their citys
green canopy and appreciate that the green
canopy can assist in responding to climate
change, council manager Alice Charles
said in a statement.
The projects maps arent perfect. It
appears as if there are no trees in some of
the worlds most famous parks. New Yorks
Central Park, Boston Common and
Londons Hyde Park appear as large black
swaths of nothing probably because
Google Street View vehicles cant get into
those areas.
Ratti hopes to eventually ll those gaps
using satellite data, but adds that cataloging
street trees is the projects primary goal.
Streets are important, because thats
where we spend most of our time, he said.

John who? 49ers hire Lynch as new GM

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA The San Francisco

49ers made a surprise hire to fill their general manager void Sunday, hiring former
NFL safety and Fox television analyst John
Lynch to replace Trent Baalke.
Lynch comes into the job with no frontoffice experience, having gone straight
from the playing field to the broadcast
booth. But after a lengthy search that
included interviews with nine other publicly identified candidates, team CEO Jed

York settled on Lynch.

ESPN first reported the
deal, saying Lynch had
gotten a six-year contract.
After playing for former Niners coach Bill
Walsh in college at
Stanford, Lynch went on
to have a stellar 15-year
John Lynch
career with Tampa Bay
and Denver that included three All-Pro selections and one Super Bowl title with the
Buccaneers. Hes a finalist this year for the

Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Since retiring in 2008, Lynch has been an
analyst at Fox.
Now he will be tasked to rebuild a onceproud franchise that has fallen from NFC
champions in 2012 to a 2-14 record this
past season that matched the worst in franchise history. That led to the firing of
Baalke and coach Chip Kelly as York set to
overhaul the operation after the struggles
the past few years.
The 49ers made three straight trips to the
NFC title game from 2011-13 under coach
Jim Harbaugh, but got rid of him after an 8-8

season in 2014, in part because of a rift with

Baalke. Jim Tomsula lasted one year as coach
and then Kelly was also fired after one season, leading to this current search.
York said he was open to hiring either the
coach or general manager first. He said the
primary goal in the search is finding a
coach and general manager who can work
well together.
All signs point to Atlanta offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan getting the head
coach job. He had a second interview with

Stanford 66-55

SAN FRANCISCO Two years ago, the

Serra Padres captured the Central Coast
Section Open Division boys basketball
championship on a controversial foul with
one second remaining, sending Jake
Killingsworth to the line to knock down
three free throws to lift Serra to a 40-38 victory over St. Francis.
Saturday, the tables were turned on the
Padres in a dramatic 62-59 overtime loss at
Sacred Heart Cathedral.
With the game tied 59-59 in OT, Fightin
Irish sophomore Emmett Neal drew a foul by
Serra senior Isaac Loera with less than one
second remaining on the clock. Neal who
was 12 of 13 from the line throughout en
route to a game-high 22 points converted
all three free throws to give SHC (1-7 in
WCAL, 8-10 overall) its first home win of
2016-17, and stifle Serras bid for its first
road victory of the season.
To be honest, I thought it was a bad call,
Serra interim head coach Sean Dugoni said.
The (SHC) kid initiated the entire contact
and my guy was straight up. Thats something you dont ever, ever see called when
theres [one second] left in the game; you let
the players decide. Very questionable call
there. But thats not why we lost the game.
We didnt come ready to play.
The call occurred on the heels of a gutsy
three-point play by Serra point guard Henry
James to tie the game with 28 seconds to play.
With the Padres trailing 59-56, James hurried a
half-court possession by spotting a lane to the
hoop and driving hard to convert a layup, getting fouled in the process, with the proceeding
free throw deadlocking the game at 59.
On SHCs ensuing possession, Serras
perimeter defense was sharp enough to
prompt a timeout by the Irish with five seconds remaining. Then, with the half-court
inbound, SHC got the ball into the hands of
Neal off the left wing. Loera and Neal left
their feet simultaneously, with the two colliding at the hips in midair.

Sidelined Patriots TE Gronkowski still easy to find

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

While his Patriots teammates are dealing

with the business of trying to win another
Super Bowl, Rob Gronkowski is handling
business of another sort.
The sidelined tight end produced and
starred in an online TV series that basically
is Shark Tank For Jocks. And while Gronk
can be an overwhelming force on the football field, hes something of a novice at the
television game.
Sure, he and his brothers, both of whom

spent time in the NFL,

worked in the family
business growing up.
But football was their
calling.
Now, Gronk is spreading his enterprising
wings
with
the
Wednesday night MVP
series on Verizons Go90
Rob
Gronkowski mobile TV network . The
program offers an inside
look at how sports stars such as Antonio

Brown, Kevin Durant and Pro Football Hall

of Famer Marshall Faulk get connected with
brands people see and use every day.
Its a chance to be with the athletes and
see what their minds are thinking, and the
opportunities they get, Gronkowski says,
and to talk about what other type of sports
guys do, to collaborate with that. Just going
on the show and having a good time and possibly seeing the products we endorse succeed.
Its great value for me to be on the show,
meeting other athletes and potential business partners.

Gronk and the other athletes taped the

shows in less than a week last summer. To
him, it was an excellent chance to branch
out and prepare for when football no longer
is his livelihood.
When the opportunity is right, when Im
in the offseason and have a whole day to
myself, a week to myself, Ill check out
those business opportunities, and maybe
some TV shows, and possibly hop on, he
says. Football will not be around forever.

and the Cardinal rallied from an 18-point
first-half deficit to beat No. 7 Washington
72-68 on Sunday night.
Kelsey Plum was again the star for
Washington, scoring 44 points before fouling out in the closing seconds, but her supporting cast provided very little and allowed
the Cardinal a chance to rally. Plums attempt
at a tying 3-pointer with 6 seconds left

miss of the game.
Plum made 17 of 27 shots, but aside from
Plum, Washington was a combined 6-of-37

Roberson was nearly perfect in the second
half, sparking the Cardinal rally with a pair of 3pointers late in the third quarter. Stanford

AFC holds on to defeat

NFC 20-13 in Pro Bowl

ORLANDO, Fla. Andy Dalton

completed 10 of 12 passes for 100
yards and engineered two scoring
drives to help lead the AFC to a 2013 victory over the NFC in the Pro
Bowl on Sunday night.
The Cincinnati Bengals quarterback threw a 23-yard touchdown
pass to Travis Kelce late in the
first half and then guided the
offense down the field to set up
Justin Tuckers 38-yard field to put
the AFC ahead 17-7 midway
through the third quarter.
In an NFL all-star game that
lacked spectacular play on either
side, the AFC put together just
enough scoring drives and then
held on to preserve a win.
It marked the return to the AFC
vs. NFC matchup after the NFL
used a format the last three years in
which teams were drafted among
the Pro Bowl players by designated captains.

Camping World Stadium.
New Orleans Drew Brees completed 10 of 19 passes for 112

the NFC. Kansas Citys Alex
Smith, the starter for the AFC,
completed six of eight passes for
74 yards and one touchdown.
In a first half defined by big

AFC was able to come up with one

asked: How do Gronk and Antonio
and Marshall and the guys get
money out of it? How do these guys
get their money back or monetize

always a healthy dialogue in that
area.
Gronkowski still has a strong
presence with the Patriots regardless of his availability to make
catches, run over defenders and
score touchdowns.

down through here all the time,
linebacker Rob Ninkovich says.
So whenever he walks in were
having a great time with him. So,
hes still here, just doing his best
to rehab. Its still great to see him,
and hes always in great spirits.
Yeah, well, thats Gronk.
Whether hes offering some expertise to his replacement, Martellus
Bennett who has been superb for
much of the season or keeping
things light with his antics, he
very much wants to be considered a
major part of the team.
I see players all the time and its
great being all around them,
Gronkowski says. Theres a positive energy around the facility, and
being part of it throughout the
whole year, its been a great journey for sure.

I wish nothing but the best for

the team, theyve been working so
hard all year, they are warriors.
Seeing the guys work so hard, you
know that has motivated me just to
do (rehab) hard, like they do it. Its

Colts hire KCs Ballard as GM

Eight days after firing Ryan Grigson

The announcement came Sunday on

Chris has a solid reputation throughout the National Football League as a

Ballard has never
previously served as
a teams top decision-maker, but he
comes with a long
history as a scout
and
front-office
Chris Ballard experience.
He was hired by
the Chiefs in 2013 as the director of
player personnel and was promoted to
director of football operations under current GM John Dorsey in 2015.
Last season, the Chiefs earned the No.
2 seed in the AFC playoffs and theyve
been a consistent playoff contender
despite not having a Pro Bowl quarterback.
Like Grigson, Ballard worked with

coach Andy Reid. And like Grigson, the

move comes after most teams had
already announced offseason coaching
and front office changes.
I am so thankful to Mr. Irsay and his
entire family for this opportunity to
join the Colts organization, Ballard
said. I appreciate everyone who has
been involved in the search process. I
look forward to working with (coach)
Chuck (Pagano) and his staff, the personnel staff, and all the outstanding
Colts employees.
Irsay has already said he expects
Pagano back on the sideline next season.
Ballard was chosen from a pool of six
candidates, each of whom interviewed
with Irsay during the week. Ballard
reportedly was brought in for a second
interview this weekend.

With Skyline trailing 1-0, pinchrunner Harley Torres sparked the rally

with a perfectly executed safety squeeze
to push Torres across. After a walk to

With one of SHCs best players, junior forward Nathan

Robinson, sidelined due to injury since Jan. 10, first-year
Irish head coach Sean MacKay couldnt have asked for a better clutch free-throw shooter with the game on the line.
Hes had some big games and hes battle tested in the
[West Catholic Athletic League], MacKay said. He came
and knocked down the free throws with poise. He did a good
job. Weve been taking our lumps and they all dug in as a
whole staff, from coaches to the whole team, we got it done.
Serra (3-5, 9-9) too has been taking its lumps in WCAL
play. Currently at 3-5 in league, with seven games to play,
the Padres havent lost as many WCAL games in a season
since posting an 8-6 league record in 2010-11. And this
marks the latest juncture a Serra hoops team has been under
.500 in league since 2008-09, when the Padres went 3-11 in
WCAL play.
Hopefully [the loss] just motivates us, James said. We
didnt come out and we didnt play well enough to win.
Weve got Mitty (next). Thats the great thing about basketball is weve got another game coming up to make up for
it. So, hopefully [the loss] motivates us to finish it out
strong.
Saturdays loss had the tone of a turnaround game for the
Padres, who led much of the first half only to get overtaken
by a five-point SHC run to send the Irish into halftime up
28-25. SHC maintained the lead for most of the third quarter, but the Padres kept it close before Serra junior Colin
McCarthy hit a pair of free throws with 30 seconds remaining in the third to put the Padres up 41-40.
A wild back-and-forth fourth quarter ensued, with the lead
changing seven times in the period.
Tied at 50-50 with just over a minute remaining in regulation, Serra had a chance to take the lead with a baseline
inbound from under its own hoop. Junior guard Masieullah
Mohammadi inbounded an alley-oop pass for sophomore
Parker McDonald, but the shot didnt fall, giving SHC as
chance to go up.
The Irish missed a long jump shot on their initial look
with 30 seconds remaining, but got an off-ball foul call
when McDonald and Neal violently crashed to the floor. It
took a few seconds for Neal to collect himself, but the
sophomore got up to drill both free throws of a 1-and-1 to
give SHC a 52-50 lead.
At the other end, James willed an offensive rebound and
drew a foul with six seconds remaining.
The junior who scored no points in the first half, sitting out the second quarter due to foul trouble, only to finish with a team-high 16 initially missed a running
jumper that rimmed out, but he battle for his own board and
drew contact in traffic on the put-back; the shot nearly fell,
but again rimmed out. But James cooled his nerves and converted both free throws to tie it 52-52 to force overtime.
Serra, however, never led in the four-minute OT period.
We cant give up 60 points to a team, especially when
theyre missing their best player, and expect to win
games, Dugoni said.
By virtue of the Padres finishing above .500 in nonleague play, they have already assured themselves of a CCS
playoff berth. Dugoni, however, said that is the least of his
worries, with Serra having dropped four of its last five.
For SHC though, it was an auspicious night. Not only
was it the Irishs first WCAL win, it marked the teams first
overall non-tournament victory of the season.
You get your first win in league, theyre excited,
MacKay said. It feels good. We havent been on that side
of the fence in a while. Weve just got to break the season
into chapters and, in the second half, were 1-0. So, were
undefeated in our minds.

ere we are, halfway between calorie-intense holiday

season and chocolate-is-king Valentines Day, all
struggling (probably without success) to meet our
exercise and diet New Years resolution. What the heck, if we
cant control our own eating habits then should it really
come as any surprise that many (by some estimates, most)
dogs and cats are also something between overweight and
obese? And just like with us bipeds, out-of-control weight in
our animals comes with health risks including diabetes,
arthritis, cancer and early death.
I definitely understand and frankly
am guilty of practicing the crime of
food is love with my own animals.
And especially at a certain age, I do
think one has to balance the questions of quality versus quantity when
it comes to our animals (as well as our
own) lives and life expectancies. But
we certainly do need to understand
that while treats can put a smile on a
dogs or cats face, that added girth is
both controllable (in most cases) and risky.
Its the same causes, of course: with the exception of disease/metabolic-related weight gain, pounds are the result of
calories (too many) and exercise (not enough). A little and
relatively inactive dog or an average sized cat needs, on
average, just 200 to 350 calories/day to maintain a healthy
weight. Compare that to up to 70 calories in just a bite or
two of pizza, or the fatty oils in many human foods, and its
clear that snacks of baby carrots (yes, both cats and dogs
can learn to enjoy baby carrots) is a healthier if not happier
choice.
Grab that leash (and dont forget to hook it up to the dogs
collar) and take a long stroll. Instead of unwrapping that
foil-covered chocolate, toss a tinfoil ball around for some
fun with the kitty. You dont even have to necessarily
increase anyones heart rate for those to be good ideas for

GORDON
Continued from page 1
ing to adult job training, a proponent of equal rights and protecting the environment, as well as the first openly gay man to
run for a county office who could find consensus amongst people of different beliefs.
I enjoy doing the kind of work that brings people together
to help solve problems, he said.
In many ways, Gordons rise to elected office and ongoing
service career was sparked at an early age. He recalled a family
dinnertime ritual reciting the story of how his grandparents
chose to live during the Great Depression. His grandfather was
fortunate to be employed while they lived in Oakland next to
railroad tracks and a nearby homeless encampment.
The story that was told at the dinner table was that my
grandmother every day would make a pot of stew and put it on
her back porch so the homeless men could eat. So I think from
a very early age, I was taught that you helped other people, you
gave back, if you were fortunate you contributed, Gordon said.
A young man during the 1960s and 70s, Gordon said the era
left an impression on him. He was inspired by the civil rights
movement, protests against the Vietnam War, as well as advocates fighting for womens and LGBT equality.
He was inspired by faith leaders such as Dr. Martin Luther

THE DAILY JOURNAL

King Jr. and saw the church as a vehicle to engage in social

change.
He graduated from the University of Southern California
before earning a masters degree in divinity from a seminary at
Northwestern University. He then spent five years as a minister.
It ended up being a very positive first step in what became
other service careers, Gordon said. My faith has also been
very important to me, helping me with a set of values, grounding me and helping me to remain hopeful.
During his time as a minister, he became particularly moved
by working with homeless or troubled youth. He transitioned
to working with the YMCA and, back in San Mateo County,
founded Youth and Family Assistance. He grew the nonprofit
from four employees to over 60 with a multi-million dollar
budget. He also helped create a shelter for runaway youth and
the vocational training program MiMes Caf.
He spent 20 years working for nonprofits, the tail end of
which he was elected to the countys Board of Education in
1992. Soon, he realized he had a knack for policy and in 1997
rose to county supervisor.
It was really about, in many ways, wanting to do public
service on a much broader scale, Gordon said.
He recalled some of his proudest accomplishments including
years planning the complicated Devils Slide Tunnel on the
coast, as well as helping revamp fiscal accountability by moving the county toward an outcome-based budget process. He
also recognized the teamwork and fellow leaders with whom he
served.
He termed out after 13 years as a supervisor in 2010 but was
nowhere near ready to quit. So he turned his attention to the
state Legislature.
He entered the Assembly during trying times the state was
facing a $27 billion deficit.
Im very proud to have been part of a Legislature that
demonstrated fiscal restraint and righted the fiscal ship of
California, Gordon said.
Seventy percent of the bills he introduced were written into
law, and he is proud of that particularly high pass rate.
And I think we did legislation that benefits people,

Gordon said.
The breadth of his work varied from legislation restoring
property tax postponement to keep seniors or the disabled in
their homes, to creating the states first database tracking
agencies sea level rise planning and adaptation strategies.
Im also pretty pleased that I developed great relationships
with my colleagues, including colleagues across the aisle. One
of the things I wanted to do when I went to Sacramento was
work beyond partisanship, he said.
But unfortunately for Gordon, he was elected prior to
changes in Legislature term limits and was forced to step down
after just six years. Last December, he was officially replaced
by Marc Berman, who in a nod to his predecessor introduced
his first piece of legislation this week to make Gordons sea
level rise database permanent.
After investigating different opportunities, Gordon
announced his candidacy to the Board of Equalization a
somewhat esoteric agency he hopes to enthuse.
With experience on the Assemblys Revenue and Taxation
Committee, Gordon believes the state is overdue for a conversation about overhauling the way we tax.
We have a system thats so dependent upon personal
income tax and capital gains, thats a highly-volatile income
source, he said. We need to have more stability and we need
to make sure its more equitable and that people pay their fair
share.
Half-heartedly joking that his husband, a recently retired
physician now composing music, would prefer him out of the
house working, he couldnt imagine retiring and is excited for
his new position with Caminar.
As the nonprofit recently expanded in a merger, there is
ample opportunity for him to blend his political expertise
with his passion for helping others.
Looking back, hes been most inspired in seeing his work
benefit others and Gordon is hopeful his continued efforts will
have a lasting mark.
For me, a key part of leadership is not necessarily making
things better for my generation, he explained. Its making
sure that we have paved the way for the next generation to be
successful.

year and is in the process of recruiting staff and medical
professionals to fill the new center once it is constructed.
Once up and running, Merck anticipates more than 300
scientists and staff will be at the location on East Grand
Avenue, according to Merck spokeswoman Doris Li.
The company currently operates a research facility in Palo
Alto and those specializing in immunology, oncology and
biologics discovery will move to the South San Francisco
site once competed, said Li.
Merck announced last year its intention to coordinate the
launch of its local facility with another, similar site in
Cambridge, Massachusetts. Li said the company hopes to
use the two facilities in tandem to further its mission of
improving its medical research.
The goal of our new discovery sites, in Cambridge and
South San Francisco, is to bring new expertise and capabilities to Merck that complement our existing R&D
strengths, and to more fully integrate within these important biomedical ecosystems to encourage increased external

Officials recently approved development of a new hotel

designed to accommodate visitors to the Genesis towers
project overlooking Highway 101 from the foot of San
Bruno Mountain.
The project proposed to spread 110 rooms over seven stories will serve those visiting the development formerly
known as Centennial Towers, where work is also underway
to construct a neighboring building to the existing iconic
glass structure housing 400,000 square feet of office space.
South San Francisco officials are in the process of examining the project proposed by the Greenland Group to develop 2 million square feet of biotechnology office space near
Oyster Point by 2026 as well.
With the Merck project, Greenwood said he believes South
San Francisco stands to expand its legacy as an international leader in bearing the flag for the life sciences industry.
This will be an exciting jewel in the crown of our

collaboration, she said.

The East Grand Avenue property is slated for development
by Alexandria Real Estate Equities, and a company press
release said the land is perfectly suited to house such a landmark project due to its proximity to the citys soon-to-be
relocated Caltrain station and new proposed downtown
housing developments.
Joe Marcus, founder of Alexandria Real Estate Equities,
expressed his support for the project moving ahead.
This move is significant for Merck and South San
Francisco, bringing another leading pharmaceutical player
to the vibrant biotech and pharma community and reinforcing the Bay Area as a leading cluster for discovery and collaboration, he said in a prepared statement.
Beyond the office and research space, the building will
also house a 300-seat auditorium, fitness center, cafe, terrace
and more.
Greenwood said he is confident the developer will construct a state-of-the-art facility.
This new building really kind of moves the ball forward
as far as helping our biotech cluster go from the 1990s suburban, office campus design to more modern and urban architecture, he said.
The Merck development comes alongside a variety of
other new projects beginning to proceed near the biotechnology cluster as well.

City Manager Mike Futrell.
Calling the issue broad and complex, Futrell said officials are hopeful
to host a series of study sessions in the
spring and summer highlighting
potential areas of interest with the
intention of introducing a more permanent ordinance by the end of the year.
Councilman Rich Garbarino lauded
the logic of the proposed moratorium,
as it would grant officials a chance to
watch how other local city and county
officials address additional regulations
necessary under Proposition 64,
allowing adults to grow, sell and use
the drug recreationally.
Im going to support the move for a
moratorium, said Garbarino, before
casting his vote. There are so many
unanswered questions out there at the
state, federal and local levels.
Of the issues presented by legalization still needing to be vetted, Mayor
Pradeep Gupta said he would like further investigation into how finances
from businesses profiting from marijuana would be treated, as federal law
forbids profiteering from selling the
drug.
He suggested the conflict between
state and federal law may become an

had been detained had a strong argument

The Department of Homeland Security
issued a statement early Sunday that said
the court ruling would not affect the
overall implementation of the White
House order and it affected a relatively
small number of travelers who were
inconvenienced by security procedures
upon their return. Trumps aides insist
the judgment has little impact.
Trumps order, which also suspends
the U.S. refugee program for 120 days
and bars the entry of Syrian refugees
indefinitely, has sparked major
protests, including at several of the
nations international airports. It also

issue of public safety.

I would like to find out how the
absence of banking support will
impact police, security and street
crimes, he said.
A city report offered greater detail
regarding the variety of considerations
facing officials.
The city must develop regulations to ensure the protection of environmental resources and neighborhood
quality; limit youth exposure, facilitate education and outreach; implement
proper security and safety measures;
and address increased crime and nuisance, according to the report.
Under the moratorium, outdoor marijuana grows will be prohibited along
with commercial cultivation, processing or sales. South San Francisco residents will be allowed to grow six
indoor plants for personal use, the
legal limit under the state law.
The decision by South San Francisco
officials mirrors the approach taken by
the San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors as well as city councils in
San Bruno, Burlingame and San Mateo.
In keeping with South San
Franciscos existing public smoking
ban, marijuana use is not allowed on
city property. Following the existing
moratorium expiring, officials will be
granted another opportunity to
approve a longer window of temporary
prohibitions.
Under voter approval of the Adult Use

of Marijuana Act, a 15 percent state tax

on marijuana sales will be levied
beginning in 2018 and cities are granted the opportunity to add an additional
tax should local voters support the initiative. Under state laws, medical marijuana sales can be exempted from some
of the tax laws.
Should South San Francisco officials
come to an agreement ultimately allowing commercial marijuana sales, an earlier city report suggested a business
license tax on dispensaries could generate approximately $1.7 million
annually.
Though the state will not begin issuing commercial recreational marijuana
companies licenses until 2018, South
San Francisco officials had targeted
establishing the moratorium before
locals interested in growing may start
planting.
Analysts project the legal marijuana
industry could generate up to $1 billion
annually for the state, according to the
report, and San Mateo County officials
anticipate such businesses could create
$100 million in additional revenue
locally.
Ultimately, with the variety of
potential quandaries and opportunities
presented through
legalization,
Garbarino said he believed temporarily
pressing pause on pot in South San
Francisco made the most sense.
I think this gives us more time to
get more of the answers, he said.

initial campaign proposal to block foreign Muslims from entering the country
in a tough spot.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell, R-Ky., said he supports
more stringent screening mechanisms,
but cautioned that Muslims are some of
the countrys best sources in the war
against terror.
I think its a good idea to tighten
the vetting process But I also think
its important to remember that some
of our best sources in the war against
radical Islamic terrorism are Muslims,
both in this country and overseas, he
said.
He stressed the need to be careful as
we do this, and said it would be up to
the courts to decide whether or not
this has gone too far.
Trump, meanwhile, took to Twitter to
defend his actions, and his aides insisted the new measures were a small price
to pay to keep the nation safe.

Our country needs strong borders

and extreme vetting, NOW, Trump
wrote. Look what is happening all
over Europe and, indeed, the world - a
horrible mess!
The emergency order was issued by
U.S. District Judge Ann Donnelly in
New York on Saturday night after
lawyers for the American Civil
Liberties Union filed a court petition
on behalf of people from the seven predominantly Muslim nations who were
detained at airports across the country
as the ban took effect.
The order barred U.S. border agents
from removing anyone who arrived in
the U.S. with a valid visa from Iraq,
Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and
Yemen. It also covered anyone with an
approved refugee application.
It was unclear how quickly the judges
order might affect people in detention,
or whether it would allow others to
resume flying.

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