Governor to lay out agenda

Brown sworn in for unprecedented fourth term, set to release budget proposal later in week
By Judy Lin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO After winning re-election in a landslide,

Gov. Jerry Brown will start his
unprecedented fourth and final
term with a flourish by promoting
a legacy of fiscal stability while
pioneering a bullet train to accom-

modate future
generations of
Cal i fo rn i an s
seeking clean
transportation.
On Monday,
he will be
sworn in as the
o
n
l
y
Californian to
serve
four

Jerry Brown

terms as governor and deliver his

State of the State address that will
lay out his vision for the next four
years. At age 76, Brown is already
the states longest-serving and the
nations oldest governor.
The next day, the agency overseeing the $68 billion high-speed
rail project that he has championed will break ground on its first
significant section in the Central

Valley. And later in the week, the

Democratic governor will release
his budget proposal for the coming year, with major decisions
expected on higher education funding and likely using a record
influx of tax revenue to pay down
debt service and retirement obligations.
The governor, I think, looking
at the next four years, wants to do

all kinds of things, Nancy

McFadden, the governors executive secretary, told a crowd last
month at a policy conference on
Californias future. But the most
important is when he leaves office
in 2018, he wants to leave a truly
balanced budget, which is where
we are now.

San Carlos may ease

way for more hotels
Neighbors worry about cumulative
impact of it with other development
By Michelle Durand

SAMANTHA WEIGEL/DAILY JOURNAL

Visitors walk along the newly finished segment of the California Coastal Trail in Half Moon Bay.The Coastside Land
Trust worked with several state and regional agencies to complete the gravel composite path in October.

The city of San Carlos, which

already has one new hotel in the
planning stages, may make room
for more under a set of proposed
zoning changes coming before the
Planning Commission Monday
night.
The proposal is for a batch of
different zoning amendments governing land use and heights but the
key component for East Side residents is allowing hotels and
motels in more of the industrial
area along Industrial Road between
Taylor Way and Quarry Road.
Hotels would also be allowed in
the heavy industrial district with a
conditional use permit if it fronts

Industrial Road.
The city is currently working on
a hotel at its so-called Landmark
Site a 200-room Marriott Hotel
on three parcels specifically
acquired by the city for such a use
but there continues to be
strong interest in developing
[more], Principal Planner Lisa
Porras wrote in a staff report for
Monday nights meeting.
According to Porras, changing
the industrial districts zoning is a
smart move to ensure hotel development opportunities around the
newly opened Palo Alto Medical
Foundation campus and sites of
high-tech and biotech businesses.
Doing so helps keep San Carlos

A year of coastal protection New South City fire chief

Coastside Land Trust preserves 100 acres, extends trail, promotes conservation
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

As the new year begins, the nonprot Coastside Land Trust concluded a successful 2014 as it preserved hundreds of bluff-top
parcels, helped extend the
California Coastal Trail, cleared
thousands of pounds of trash from
coastal habitats and acquired more
land it will protect as open space
in perpetuity.
The CLT is supported by hundreds of dedicated volunteers as it
collaborates with regional, state,
county and city agencies in its

mission to protect recreational

access on the San Mateo County
coast, Executive Director Jo
Chamberlain said.
Our organization was formed in
1997 by community activists who
saw the development of the bluff
tops, specically here in the
greater Half Moon Bay area, as
detrimental to the quality of life
for the people who live here who
so much love the open spaces,
Chamberlain said. So they
formed our organization to acquire
properties on the bluff tops and
acquire them for public benet in
perpetuity. So its not just for peo-

hits the ground running

ple here, its for anyone that visits

our area.
The CLT had a busy year conducting community outreach,
hosting its popular Raptorama
weekend workshop and running
various art shows including their
July youth exhibit. Several
cleanup days to restore properties
and riparian habitats were vital to
the betterment of the coast, most
notably with volunteers collecting 4,500 pounds of trash from
the Pilarcitos Creek, Chamberlain
said.

Tobia has created a database of

teaching points from all the shows
episodes. Third- and fourth-year medical students are assigned to watch two
episodes a week and then gather to discuss the psychopathology demonstrated on each.
You have a very diverse group of
personality traits that are maladaptive
on the individual level, Tobia said.
When you get these friends together
the dynamic is such that it literally
creates a plot: Jerrys obsessive compulsive traits combined with Kramers
schizoid traits, with Elaines inability
to forge meaningful relationships and
with George being egocentric.
His diagnosis of Newman? Very
sick.
The students gathered around a conference table on a recent day, analyzing an episode from the night before.
Third-year student Marlene Wang said
that the exercise leads to having more
practical and relatable examples than a
textbook.
In this way, it just gives you a more
solid picture of the pathology rather
than just giving you words, Wang
said.
Tobia has also written an academic
paper that analyzes five of Elaines
boyfriends from the show to explain
delusional disorder.
He also teaches a course where students tweet thoughts about characters
potential psychiatric disorders while
watching films like Fargo.

pon Hard Hat Willys death in

1961, the San Bruno Herald stated:
No other man in political history

Hard Hat William Maurer (the nickname,
Hard Hat came from the derby he wore,
which became his trademark), moved to San
Bruno from Booneville, Ind. in 1915 at the
age of 40. The move west was prompted by
his health. In his early years in San Bruno,
he taught school, worked for the Northern
Pacic Railroad, drove a bakery wagon and
collected Pacic Gas and electric bills as
well as sell insurance. His driving the bakery wagon door to door, and throughout the
streets in San Bruno, familiarized him with
the homes, housewives and city well enough
for him to comprehend the problems of
each.
Maurer was elected to the San Bruno City
Council in 1926 and he served continuously
until his retirement the 1960s, despite three
recall attempts. While a councilman, Maurer
was also in the real estate and insurance

Burlingame mom gaining national attention

Music video parodies have been mentioned on Fox News, CNN, others
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Its been a crazy year for Burlingames

Deva Dalporto.
Aside from getting millions of hits on
her parody videos about the struggles and
joys of being a mom, Dalporto has had her
work featured on CNN, Fox News, Yahoo,
The Huffington Post and the TODAY
shows Parents page, along others. Shes
new video called The Holidays Are Hell
set to Jingle Bells.
This has become my life, said
Dalporto, who has two children, one 5 and
another 8.
It all began when her humor music video
of the popular The Fox (What Does the
Fox Say?) called What Does the Kid
Say? went viral on YouTube. She then
made it viral again when she parodied the
Oscar-winning song Let It Go from the
movie Frozen and parodied Taylor Swifts
Shake it Off with Knock it Off. Five of
PopSugars 13 best viral videos of 2014
were Dalportos own. Her children take
part in the videos alongside Dalporto.
She also runs a personal blog called My
Life Suckers, where she writes about being
a mom.
Im doing it for the love of it, she
said. Weve created such an amazing community over the last year on my blog. I
hear from moms all the time about how the

The car was not at the scene when officers
arrived and no witnesses to the collision
came forward, he said.
Officials from the state Department of
Fish and Wildlife responded to the scene and
removed the deceased mountain lion from
the freeway, according to Williams.
Williams estimated that the lion weighed
about 75 to 80 pounds.

Deva Dalportos parody videos, including one

sending up Taylor Swifts Shake it Off have
been getting lots of hits on the Internet.
videos have helped them get through the
day; thats been rewarding in of itself.
The Jingle Bells parody was created
through a partnership with responsibility.org. The group did a study and found
moms are very stressed out over the holidays, which leads to them drinking more
to cope.
They wanted me to put out the message
of planning ahead, she said. They
approached me about doing a funny video
about approaching this issue. They found
dads arent as stressed out because they
delegate to moms, so I show my husband
(Gabe) napping in the video.
Lyrics include, Dashing to the mall.
My nerves are starting to fray. Traffics at
a crawl. Kids screaming all the way (wah

wah wah)
This was her first video a videographer
came to shoot. She still uses the same
camera that she made her first video with a
year ago and still records in her closet.
Right now, she is editing a video about
New Years resolutions for moms.
Children in her neighborhood all want to
be in the videos now, she said. As many as
16 kids have been in a video so far, she
said.
They love doing the videos, she said.
We pretty much just turn on the camera
and let the kids do whatever they want to
do. The house is completely trashed after a
shoot.
Dalporto has plans beyond her beloved
music videos though. Shes working on
writing a book on her journey through
parenting. She started writing a few
months ago and is a few chapters into the
book. She signed with a literary agent and
a talent agent.

Its like giving birth to another baby,

she said. I think in 2015 Im just going
to keep on keeping on. 2014 was such an
amazing surprise.
For Dalporto, the best thing about making the videos is actually putting them
together, she said.
Im just so happy when Im actually
producing them and working on the creative process, she said.
Other recent videos shes produced
include a parody of Meghan Trainors All
About That Bass called I Just Need Some

Passengers complain of
12-hour wait on tarmac
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Hundreds of air travelers landed in San Francisco, safe but irritated after a 28-hour overseas flight they
say included 12 hours on a tarmac in the
Middle East without food or accurate flight
information.
Tempers grew short on Etihad Airways
Flight 183 when fog in the city of Abu
Dhabi delayed takeoff for a half-day, passengers told San Francisco broadcaster
KGO.
They kept telling us that we were going
to leave, you know 15 minutes from now,
20 minutes from now, 30 minutes for now,
for 12 hours, passenger Thomas Piani told
reporters in San Francisco after finally landing in the city on Saturday evening.
Passengers said the flight crew told them
the Abu Dhabi airport was too crowded with
other stranded flights to allow them to get
off the plane to wait.
Everybody was fighting with each other,
and the flight attendants were fighting with

us, and we were fighting with the flight

attendants, passenger Venkatesh Pahwa
said.
Flight attendants eventually passed out
sandwiches and water after some people
made a fuss over the lack of food, passenger
Ravali Reddy said.
No one was angry about the delay itself.
If its unsafe to fly, we dont want to fly,
she said. It just didnt seem to make any
logical sense why we had to stay on the
plane.
Etihad, a national airline of the United
Arab Emirates, which includes Abu Dhabi,
said in a statement on its website that fog
had delayed flights and caused airport congestion.
The airline apologized for travelers
inconvenience but said the delays were
beyond its control.
Etihad spokespeople did not immediately
respond to an after-hours request from The
Associated Press for passengers complaints about conditions onboard during the
wait on the tarmac.

Mayor eulogizes officer

as cops outside turn backs
By Jonathan Lemire and Mike Balsamo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Thousands of police turned

their backs Sunday as Mayor Bill de Blasio
eulogized an officer shot dead with his partner, repeating a stinging display of scorn
for the mayor despite entreaties to put anger
aside.
The show of disrespect came outside the
funeral home where Officer Wenjian Liu was
remembered as an incarnation of the
American dream: a man who had emigrated
from China at age 12 and devoted himself to
helping others in his adopted country. The
gesture among officers watching the
mayors speech on a screen added to tensions between the mayor and rank-and-file
police even as he sought to quiet them.
Let us move forward by strengthening
the bonds that unite us, and let us work
together to attain peace, de Blasio said at
the funeral.
Liu, 32, had served as a policeman for
seven years and was married just two months
when he was killed with his partner, Officer
Rafael Ramos, on Dec. 20. Lius longtime
aspiration to become a police officer deepened after the Sept. 11 terror attacks, his
father, Wei Tang Liu, said through tears.
And as he finished his daily work, the
only child would call to say: Im coming
home today. You can stop worrying now,
the father recalled during a service that
blended police tradition with references to
Buddhas teachings.
Dignitaries including FBI Director James
Comey and members of Congress joined
police officers from around the country in a
throng of over 10,000 mourners.
When one of us loses our lives, we have
to come together, said Officer Lucas Grant
of the Richmond County Sheriffs Office in
Augusta, Georgia.

New York Police Department officer Wenjian
Liu as his casket departs his funeral in the
Brooklyn borough of New York.
After hundreds of officers turned their
backs to a screen where de Blasios remarks
played during Ramos funeral last week,
Police Commissioner William Bratton sent
a memo urging respect, declaring a heros
funeral is about grieving, not grievance.
But some officers and police retirees said
they still felt compelled to spurn the mayor.
Police union leaders have said he contributed to an environment that allowed the
officers slayings by supporting protests
following the police killings of Eric Garner
on Staten Island and Michael Brown in
Ferguson, Missouri.
The mayor has no respect for us. Why
should we have respect for him? said retired
New York Police Department Detective
Camille Sanfilippo, who was among those
who turned their backs Sunday. Retired
NYPD Sgt. Laurie Carson called the action
our only way to show our displeasure with
the mayor.

Here come the freshmen:

Congress newest class
By Erica Werner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Congress approval

rating hovers around 15 percent, but theres
one group of people excited about the institution: the newly elected lawmakers who are
about to join its ranks.
The House will welcome 58 freshmen this
coming week, including 43 Republicans
and 15 Democrats, pushing the GOP majority to 246 members, the most since the
Great Depression.
In the Senate, 13 new lawmakers, all but
one of them Republican, will be sworn in,
flipping control of the chamber to the GOP
with a 54-vote majority.
The incoming classes will bring new gender and racial diversity to Capitol Hill, with
104 women in the House and Senate and close
to 100 black, Hispanic and Asian lawmakers.
The newcomers include the youngest woman
elected to Congress, 30-year-old Elise
Stefanik of New York, and the first black
Republican woman, Mia Love of Utah.
As the new members prepared to arrive on
Capitol Hill, several said they brought
hopes of curbing the often partisan atmosphere in Washington, showing the public
that they really can govern and, just maybe,
getting Congress approval rating back up
past 20 percent.
This election was not an endorsement of
either party, it was a condemnation of, yes,
the presidents policies, but also of government dysfunction, said GOP Rep.-elect
Carlos Curbelo, who defeated a Democratic
incumbent in Florida. I hope we can be different. ... I hope we focus on getting things
done.
A few of the notable new
arrivals:

faces bringing fresh blood to Capitol Hill,

where many lawmakers, especially senators, are in their 70s or even older. Others
are Democrats Seth Moulton of
Massachusetts, who is 36, and Ruben
Gallego of Arizona, whos 35. The three all
graduated from Harvard University and have
friends in common, Gallego said.
Gallego said the three have already discussed areas of cooperation, such as infrastructure investments and bringing down
the cost of college.
We have talked actually a lot, and I can
definitely see us working together,
Gallego said. We all want the same things
in the general scheme of things - a stable
country, a prosperous future. We may not
agree 100 percent on how to get there but I
think Democrats and Republicans do want
to find a way.

THE EXPERIENCED HANDS

Two of the newcomers to Congress are
not new to Washington at all.
In Michigan, Democrat Debbie Dingell is
replacing her husband, John Dingell, the
longest-serving member of Congress, who
retired after nearly 60 years.
In Virginia, Republican Barbara
Comstock is replacing her onetime boss,
Frank Wolf, whom she served as a top aide
and chief counsel on the House Oversight
and Government Reform Committee before
joining the Virginia House of Delegates.
Dingell and Comstock are friendly and
have spoken about how they can collaborate and improve relations and policy making on Capitol Hill.

In search of a Boston jury to try marathon suspect

By Denise La Voie
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON His accusers brandish a confession scribbled inside a boat during an

intensive manhunt and a video they say
shows him placing a backpack with a bomb
a few feet from a little boy who died when it
exploded seconds later.
His defenders bank on the story of a difficult childhood in a former Soviet republic
and his radicalization at the hands of an
influential older brother who could have
pressured him into participating in the
deadly attack.
Jury selection for the trial of Dzhokhar
Tsarnaev, accused in the Boston Marathon
attacks, begins Monday. Those chosen
from a pool of about 1,200 will decide
whether Tsarnaev planned and carried out
the twin bombings that killed three people

and injured more than

260 near the finish line
of the race on April 15,
2013. If they find him
guilty, they will decide
whether he should be put
to death.
Its perhaps the most
closely watched federal
death penalty case since
Dzhokhar
Timothy McVeigh was
Tsarnaev
convicted and executed
for the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.
Tsarnaevs lawyers tried in vain for months
to get the trial moved, arguing the Boston
jury pool was tainted because of the number
of locals with connections to the race and
drawing parallels to the McVeigh case,
which was moved to Denver for similar reasons. But U. S. District Judge George
OToole Jr. has been unmoved.
Jury selection alone is expected to take

several weeks because of extensive media

coverage and the thousands of runners,
spectators and others in the area personally
affected by the bombings. The process also
could be slowed if potential jurors express
objections to the death penalty.
Some legal observers say Tsarnaevs
lawyers - facing powerful evidence against
him - will probably focus their energies on
the penalty phase, when they could present
mitigating evidence to spare his life. He has
a strong team behind him. Attorney Judy
Clarke touts a strong record of helping her
high-profile clients avoid the death penalty, including Ted Kaczynski, the
Unabomber; Olympic Park bomber Eric
Rudolph; and Jared Loughner, who killed
six people and wounded former U.S. Rep.
Gabrielle Giffords.
Tsarnaevs lawyers are likely to narrow in
on motive and any pressure exerted on him,
said Dan Collins, a former assistant U.S.

attorney in Chicago who has investigated

U.S. ties to terrorism.
I think his mitigation will be in part paying close attention to what his explanation
is and what circumstances beyond his control ... caused him to do this, Collins said.
Prosecutors say 21-year-old Dzhokhar
and his brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev - ethnic
Chechens who had lived in the United States
for about a decade - carried out the bombings
as retaliation for U.S. actions in Muslim
countries. They are also accused of killing
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
police officer Sean Collier. Tamerlan, 26,
died after a firefight with police several days
after the bombings.
Dzhokhar was captured later that day,
wounded and bloodied, hiding inside a boat
stored in a suburban yard. Prosecutors said
he described a motive in a note written in
the boat: The U.S. Government is killing
our innocent civilians and We Muslims
are one body, you hurt one you hurt us all.

7-year-old plane crash survivor may help probe

By Timothy D. Easley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

EDDYVILLE, Ky. Sailor

Gutzler, the 7-year-old girl who
survived a plane crash, walked a
mile through the cold, dark woods
to safety and then helped authorities locate the wreckage and
remains of her family, may not be
done helping investigators.
National Transportation Safety
Board investigator Heidi Moats
said Sunday that Sailor is one
remarkable young lady, and she
might be able to assist them in
determining what brought the
plane down. It is rare for someone
to survive a small plane crash and

Moats said they want to talk to

Sailor about it.
Having someone that is a witness (is) always helpful in the
investigation, it gives us kind of a
story line, Moats said.
Its not clear when investigators
might talk to Sailor, who despite
being bloodied and suffering a
broken wrist, pulled herself from
the wreckage and walked to the
nearest home.
She was dressed for Florida, where
her family had been visiting, and was
wearing shorts, a short-sleeve shirt
and only one sock when she found a
home about a mile from the crash
site. Authorities said she walked
through thick woods and briar patches in near-freezing temperatures.

She absolutely went to the

nearest house that she could have,
Kentucky State Police Lt. Brent
White said. But it was still a considerable feat for her to do that.
The remains of the Piper PA-34
plane were moved Sunday so officials with the NTSB can inspect it.
They havent discussed any possibilities of what brought the plane
down or how Sailor survived the
crash.
The agency will issue a preliminary report in about 10 days,
Moats said at a news conference in
Eddyville.
Sailor was treated at a hospital
and released to a relative Saturday.
After the Friday night crash,
Sailor trekked to the home of 71-

year-old Larry Wilkins, who

answered her knock at the door and
called police.
Wilkins said the girl was crying
and covered in blood.
She told me that her mom and
dad were dead, and she had been in
a plane crash, and the plane was
upside down, Wilkins said.
Sailor was alert and able to
point emergency workers looking
for the plane in the right direction, said Lyon County Judge
executive Wade White, who
arrived at the crash site.
The crash killed Sailors parents, Marty Gutzler, 48; and his
wife, Kimberly Gutzler, 46;
Sailors sister, Piper Gutzler, 9;
and a cousin, Sierra Wilder, 14. All

were from Nashville, Illinois.

White said the fathers body was
the last one they pulled out
because of how deep he was
buried.
Marty Gutzler was flying the
plane, which reported engine trouble and lost contact with air traffic
controllers around 5:55 p.m. CST,
authorities said. Controllers tried
to direct the pilot to an airport 5 to
7 miles from the crash scene.
About 40 minutes later, 911 dispatchers received the call from
Wilkins.
The Gutzlers had been visiting
family in Key West, Florida, and
stopped in Tallahassee, Florida,
on the way back to Mount Vernon,
Illinois.

N. Korea blasts U.S. for sanctions over Sony attack

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEOUL, South Korea North Korea on

Sunday criticized the United States for slapping sanctions on Pyongyang officials and
organizations for a cyberattack on Sony
Pictures - the latest fallout from a
Hollywood movie depicting the fictional
assassination of North Korean leader Kim
Jong Un.
An unnamed spokesman for North Koreas
Foreign Ministry, in rhetoric that closely
mirrors past statements, denied any role in
the breach of tens of thousands of confidential Sony emails and business files and
accused the United States of groundlessly
stirring up hostility toward Pyongyang.

The spokesman said the new sanctions

would not weaken the countrys 1.2-million-strong military.
The spokesman told the Norths official
media mouthpiece, the Korean Central News
Agency, that the sanctions show Americas
inveterate repugnancy and hostility toward
the DPRK, referring to the Norths official
name, the Democratic Peoples Republic of
Korea.
The policy persistently pursued by the
U.S. to stifle the DPRK, groundlessly stirring up bad blood toward it, would only
harden its will and resolution to defend the
sovereignty of the country, the spokesman
said.
The United States on Friday sanctioned

10 North Korean government officials and

three
organizations,
including
Pyongyangs primary intelligence agency
and state-run arms dealer, in what the White
House described as an opening move in the
response toward the Sony cyberattack.
The sanctions might have only a limited
effect, as North Korea already is under tough
U.S. and international sanctions over its
nuclear and missile programs. President
Barack Obama also warned Pyongyang that
the United States was considering whether
to put North Korea back on its list of state
sponsors of terrorism, which could jeopardize aid to the country on a global scale.
American officials portrayed the sanctions as a swift, decisive response to North

Korean behavior that they said had gone

far over the line. Never before has the U.S.
imposed sanctions on another nation in
direct retaliation for a cyberattack on an
American company.
There have been doubts in the cyber community, however, about the extent of North
Koreas involvement. Many experts have
said its possible that hackers or even Sony
insiders could be the culprits, and questioned how the FBI can point the finger so
conclusively.
Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey, the
outgoing chairman of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, said the sanctions
announced Friday were a good first step
but didnt go far enough.

Major study of bereaved military families underway

By David Crary
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

With his wife and child close at hand,

Army Maj. Chad Wriglesworth battled skin
cancer for more than a year before dying at
age 37.
It was long and painful and awful, said
Aimee Wriglesworth, who believes the cancer resulted from exposure to toxic fumes in
Iraq. Yet the 28-year-old widow from
Bristow, Virginia, seized a chance to
recount the ordeal and its aftermath to a
researcher, hoping that input from her and
her 6-year-old daughter might be useful to
other grieving military families.

To be able to study what we felt and what

were going through maybe this will
help people down the line, Wriglesworth
said.
By the hundreds, other widows, widowers,
parents, siblings and children are sharing
accounts of their grief as part of the largest
study ever of Americas military families as
they go through bereavement. About 2,000
people have participated over the past three
years, and one-on-one interviews will continue through February.
The federally funded project is being
conducted by the Center for the Study of
Traumatic Stress at the Maryland-based
Uniformed Services University of the

Health Sciences. The study is open to

families of the more than 19, 000 service
members from all branches of the military who have died on active duty since
the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001,
regardless of whether the death resulted
from combat, accident, illness, suicide
or other causes.
Weve been impressed by how many
people whove had this experience really
want to let us know about it, said the leader
of the study, Dr. Stephen Cozza. They want
to talk about what happened to provide
information that will help them and people
like them in the future.
Aimee Wriglesworth is hopeful that the
study will provide new insight on how best
to support young families like hers.
A lot of things that are helping us now
come from Vietnam, Korea, World War II,
she said of existing assistance programs.
But now its a whole new world of military
losses. Studying us is really important.

About half of the participants are providing saliva samples that will be used for
genetic research, aimed at determining if
certain genetic makeups correlate with the
duration of the grieving process and the levels of stress and depression experienced as
it unfolds. Some previous research has suggested that a certain gene variation is associated with greater risk of complicated
grief, especially in women.
Cozza said a final report isnt expected
until 2017, and he is encouraging more survivors to sign up for interviews before the
cutoff date in late February.
Our interest is understanding what these
families need, he said. Recognizing the
need will allow us to make better policy recommendations as to what sort of services
would be appropriate for them.
The questionnaires and face-to-face interviews are being handled by eight field
researchers based in regions spanning the
country.

Investing in the ObamaFund

Other voices

The Wall Street Journal

ey, kids. Uncle Sam has a

new investment offer for you.
Even if you have several
decades of productive work ahead
and thus a long investing time horizon the White House wants you to
consider a retirement plan that will
invest in nothing but U.S. government debt.
Any nancial professional who
advised a young investor to avoid
stocks and corporate bonds and
everything else except Treasury bonds
would be sued for malpractice. But
asset allocation is merely one of the
problems with the new myRA fund
rolling out from the Treasury this
month.
A form of Roth Individual
Retirement Account that allows people to save after-tax dollars and watch
them grow tax-free until retirement,
the new myRA offers a single investment option. Its a private version of
the G Fund that is available to federal
workers and has lately been delivering annual returns of about 2 percent
on its portfolio of Treasury securities.
Intended for those who havent
started saving for retirement, dont
have a retirement plan at work, and
make less than $129,000 per year

($191,000 for married couples ling

jointly), the myRA requires no minimum investment to open an account
and promises no fees for investors.
Readers will recall President
Obamas announcement of this program in Januarys State of the Union
address. Obama said that he would
direct the Treasury to create this new
retirement plan, which was puzzling
because such plans are normally created by law, not presidential order.
Congressional staff was as puzzled
as anyone and wondered how the
White House would justify the creation of this new savings vehicle. Or
perhaps Team Obama would seek new
authority from Congress? Well,
Treasury is now offering these
accounts and has hired Texas-based
Comerica to manage them with a partner, Fidelity National Information
Services. But the executive branch
received no new authority from
Congress this year to launch the program.
Treasury is funding the program out
of the budget for its Bureau of the
Fiscal Service. The assertion here is
that existing law allows this part of
the Treasury to hire nancial agents

as part of its mission to efciently

nance the federal government.
But thats a reach, because far from
delivering efciencies for the taxpayer, this program is designed to subsidize the investors. Not that a lowyielding Treasury securities fund is
the right move for these rst-time
investors. But this is a deal they cannot nd in the marketplace because it
would be unprotable for any company to offer it, given that the investor
pays no fees and can contribute as little as he wishes in regular payroll
deductions. Taxpayers are covering
the costs, though their elected representatives in Congress never voted to
create the program. So far Treasury
also hasnt told us the fees it is paying Comerica.
The subsidies in myRAs are likely
to be small at rst, but the history of
government programs is that they
expand over time. And if such a subsidy scheme can be enacted administratively, does anyone think this will
be the last time such power is exercised?
New investors should be encouraged
to consider ways to build wealth
beyond simply lending money to the
feds. And if politicians want taxpayers to support another retirement program, they should do so through law,
not White House whim.

Pool maintenance for
BAC, city and school district
Editor,
Just read the Dec. 31 article on the
ongoing saga of the Pool maintenance (Burlingame pool to close for
January).
Nowhere in the article has the Daily
Journal reporter given any information regards what has been done in
that area since the creation of the
expanded pool from original size to
its present size. It has been over 10+
years since it was created. Has it ever
been closed for the December through
January period for annual maintenance as agreed to in the contract
between the city and the district? This
is a point that should be addressed. I
am sure there have been down times
for repairs during its existence.
Also it seems every article on the
pool shares the dollars contributed by
all three funding sources. The school
district is always shown at $300,000.
It always appears as the minor player.
How about the value of the footprint
they contributed? How much would it
cost Burlingame for the same size or
larger if it had to or desired to move.
That amount should be attributed to
the districts contribution to at least

the highly motivated nursing students who traveled to Guatemala to
help underserved communities while
learning about Guatemalan culture

n 2014, two policemen were gunned down in

their patrol car by a man with a criminal record
who also had mental problems. How could someone like that obtain a gun? It was easy. With so many
guns proliferating in the United States, stealing or
buying a weapon was a piece of cake. But that was
just the beginning.
In 2012, another mad man with mental problems
killed 20 young children and six adults at Sandy Hook
Elementary School in Newton, Connecticut. The
National Rifle
Association asserted that
the only way to keep
schools safe was for all
teachers and administrators to carry guns. But
that was just the beginning.
Despite the growing
number of school shootings and other mass
killings (Virginia Tech,
Fort Hood, Tucson,
Aurora movie theater and
Columbine High School
in Colorado to name a
few), attempts at
reforms, such as requiring stricter background checks on gun purchases,
extending waiting period for purchases, and banning
handguns in metropolitan areas with high crime rates
such as Washington, D. C. and Chicago, were struck
down by a majority on the U. S. Supreme Court. But
this was just the beginning.
In 2009, it was estimated there were 310 million
firearms in the United States not including weapons
owned by the military. In 2014, the U. S. ranked number one in gun ownership per capita of all countries
in the world; there were 90 guns for every 100 residents. But that was just the beginning.

In 2020, the U. S. Supreme Court eliminated all bans
on the purchase of guns. In fact, it encouraged all citizens over the age of 12 to carry a gun. In 2030, there
was no need for a police force because individuals
acted as their own militia and were equipped to defend
themselves. These actions eliminated two major concerns of the American people and conservative members of Congress. Taxes dropped dramatically because
there was no longer a need for police, the military, or
even schools because most people were afraid to go
outside. True the streets and other infrastructure started to decay, but with only armed gangs and vigilantes
venturing out these perks didnt matter any more.
The other problem solved was immigration. No one
wanted to enter our country any more either legally or
illegally. By 2040, the United States of America had
become Gunland, U. S. A. and was considered the most
dangerous place on earth. In fact, emigration was a
bigger threat. Those who could afford to move to safer
countries did so. Economic factors also changed dramatically. The products in highest demand were of
course guns of all kinds, bulletproof vests, armored
cars and bulletproof glass. The top job was that of a
bodyguard. Only those who could afford bodyguards
ventured outside and travel was usually in an armored
vehicle. It was reminiscent of the worse days in Iraq
and Afghanistan.
Children were home schooled or studied online.
Some families equipped their homes with sports
equipment so they could stay fit, but team play was a
thing of the past. Levis Stadium had shut down in
2020 because opposing fans started killing each
other in the stands. Domestic agriculture also took a
hit. It was too dangerous to work in the fields so
most food was imported from Europe or Central and
South America. Deliveries were by drone or armored
vehicles.
By 2050, there were very few people left in
Gunland, U. S. A. The vast majority had moved to
Europe or other safe havens. Those who could not
afford motorized travel crossed the border illegally on
foot into Mexico and Canada. All that was left were
roving gangs. It was the Wild West revisited when
there was no law and order. But this time it was much
worse. What was once the richest country in the world
was now the poorest.
***
In 3030, a group of archeologists found the remains
of what they considered the last human to live in
Gunland, U. S. A. He had killed himself and left a note
by his handgun. It read: I believe it is now time to
undo the Second Amendment. God help us all.

If lawmakers dont act, rents could rise in N.Y.C.

By David Klepper
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALBANY, N. Y. Cynthia
Chaffees Manhattan apartment
would likely go for more than
$5,000 a month if the landlord
charged market price. But Chaffee
pays thousands less thanks to the
citys long-standing rent stabilization rules regulations that
will expire this year if lawmakers
dont act.
The 63-year-old paid $300 a
month when she moved into the
one-bedroom space in 1978. To
Chaffee, the rules governing how
much she and more than 2 million
other New York City residents
pay in rent protect the citys
diversity and character.
The city is changing enough
as it is, and these laws are so
important to so many people,
said Chaffee, who wont specify
how much she pays now. If you
want to have neighborhoods, if
you want to have families and
artists and elderly living in New
York City, we need these laws.
Can you imagine what New York

City would be like without

them?
The laws governing the rent
paid by Chaffee and more than 2
million other New York City residents are due to expire June 15,
and state lawmakers are preparing
for what could be a bruising
debate over whether to renew,
strengthen or weaken them.
The complicated set of rules
determines the size of rent
increases for nearly 1 million
apartments built before 1973.
Supporters say they are critical to
ensuring that New York City a
city of 2.2 million apartments
remains affordable to workingclass and middle-class residents.
Landlords, however, chafe under
rules that they say keep rent artificially low and force them to
charge more for unregulated apartments and forgo improvements.
Brooklyn
landlord
Chris
Athineos manages some rent-stabilized apartments that go for as
little as $500 to $700 a month
units that would go for $1,500 or
$2,000 if unregulated. He said the
rules are unfair to landlords and

tenants who are forced to subsidize the lower rents of regulated

units.
We all pay the same price for a
loaf of bread or a gallon of milk
at a particular market, said
Athineos, whose family business
manages 140 apartments in nine
properties. Just because youve
been going to that market longer
doesnt mean you get to pay less
for the bread.
With one of the highest costs
of living in the country, rent in
New York has been a sensitive
topic for more than a century,
even giving rise to Jimmy
McMillans bid for governor on
The Rent is Too Damn High
ballot line in 2010. Rent stabilization initiatives were created
decades ago as a way to prevent
longtime residents from being
priced out of their neighborhoods. Similar programs are in
place in Westchester, Nassau and
Rockland counties.
The renewal of the citys rent
laws poses a perennial dilemma
for state lawmakers and leaders

enables New York City to be what

it is, he said. It wouldnt be as
economically integrated as it is.
The rent laws are what enable a
middle-class family or a working
family to put down roots and
remain in a rental apartment as
their home.
On the other side are groups
like the Rent Stabilization
Association, an organization
representing landlords that
believes the rules need to be
relaxed. Frank Ricci, the groups
director of public affairs, said he
hopes lawmakers build on
reforms made in the last two
decades, which made it easier for
many apartments to become
deregulated over time.
Ricci said many of the landlords represented by his group are
small family businesses that
have to deal with property taxes
and maintenance costs that
increase faster than rents.
Its 8th-grade algebra: If one
side of the equation goes up, the
other has to as well, he said.
Somethings got to give, and
the guy who has to figure out
what gives is the guy who owns
or manages the building.

LAS VEGAS While the gadgets of

the future are only just arriving in Las
Vegas for the annual International CES
show, officials at the citys main airport are updating a decades-old terminal to cater to legions of tech-savvy
travelers.
By Friday at McCarran International
Airport, a couple thousand outlets and
USB ports under seats and inside bars
and restaurants will be available for
those looking for a power charge in
Terminal 1 before heading home after
the gadget convention.
The airport had already installed free
airport-wide Wi-Fi ahead of the electronics show 10 years ago at a time
when travelers had either a laptop or
personal digital assistant, if that, and
were at most checking e-mail or finishing up a PowerPoint presentation.
Now, there are movies to stream, virtual meetings to conduct, Internet games
to play and books to download. More
than 160,000 people attended the 2014
show, which takes over the Las Vegas
Convention Center, the Sands Expo and
several nearby hotels with more than 2
million square feet of exhibit space or
about 35 football fields.
Hot trends this year include Internet
connectivity in everyday products such
as cars and appliances and the growth

of online video as an alternative to traditional television channels. New TVs

with sharper images and better colors
are also expected. The four-day show
begins Tuesday, though pre-show
events take place Sunday and Monday.
Karen Chupka, senior vice president
with CES and the Consumer Electronics
Association, said her group is likely
the biggest electricity and Internet user
when it comes to town.
We tend to push the limits of everything, she said adding that year after
year, the city has beefed up its capabilities in response, such as relatively
recent Internet upgrades to the convention center that show organizers
are particularly excited about. The airports addition of a couple thousand
more outlets and USB ports is, great,
thats absolutely wonderful, she said.
Travelers with gadgets often face a
dilemma to grab a bite to eat in a
restaurant or bar lacking outlets or
slump against a wall, plug into a wall
outlet near a boarding gate and watch
as the battery is recharged.
You dont have to make that
choice, said Samuel Ingalls, assistant
director of aviation information services at the airport.
The 500 under-seat power supplies
with two outlets and two USB ports
each and more power outlet upgrades
to come are expected to cost the airport $400,000.

A group of travelers on their way to

Portland, Oregon, had little luck finding an outlet at a bar past security.
They ended up hovering with their
devices smartphone and a tablet
at a bank of outlets in the wall where
payphones had long ago rested.
The new Layover Bar in the airports
pre-security area, though, features outlets under the counter at each seat.
Each table at the new neighboring
Wendys has them, too.
Susan Anderson, from Iowa, sat on
the floor with her Samsung Galaxy
Mega recently and said she tried to find
an outlet near a seat but to no avail.
She hadnt noticed newly installed
seat outlets a few feet away.
This is OK, but it does make your
fanny hurt a little, she said. They need
more (outlets) or I need a better phone.
Walls of unused payphones in a terminal that got its start in 1963 and
was expanded in the 1980s were
replaced years ago with counters,
stools and outlets for recharging
zones but it hasnt gotten a true outlet
boost until now.
Terminal 3 debuted in 2012 with
integrated under-seat outlets and
charging ports in restaurants and bars.
Travelers having a problem signing
onto the Wi-Fi can also call the airport
directly and, if necessary, officials
will dispatch a staffer to offer some
tech advice, an in-house geek squad
of sorts.

M-A upsets Paly in final nonconference tune-up

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Entering into Saturdays final nonconference tune-up before its Peninsula Athletic
League opener, Menlo-Atherton was looking
for any kind of momentum.
With a tough stretch of recent games that
included loses to Presentation, Newark
Memorial and Monte Vista, the Bears had
dropped three of their last four prior to hosting powerhouse Palo Alto Saturday night.
M-A (7-4) got just the pickup it needed, taking the lead in the first quarter and never looking back in a convincing 43-36 victory, hand-

ing Paly just its second loss of the season.

It was a good, competitive game for the
entire 32 minutes, M-A head coach Markisha
Coleman said. For us, we wanted to at least
contest their shots and not let them rely on
the 3-pointers they usually make.
Paly (10-2) entered into play Saturday
shooting 30 percent from beyond the 3-point
arc, led by guard Lauren Koyama, who has
shot at a 31-for-83 clip. The Bears ran their 23 zone defense effectively, however, and managed to hold the stellar sophomore in check.
Koyama was limited to just four points
throughout while converting no 3-pointers.
While the Vikings entered the game averag-

ing 50.8 points per game as a team, the Bears

held them to the third lowest point total of
any opponent they have faced this season.
We were good, Coleman said of her
defense. We definitely played M-A basketball.
M-A forward Megan Sparrow scored a gamehigh 11 points while proving a force in the
paint on rebounds and blocked shots, according to Coleman. Sophomore center Ofa Sili
added 10 points for the Bears.
Sparrow was a spot starter as a freshman
last season but has settled into the starting
five this year.

Cowboys deliver clutch win

By Schuyler Dixon
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ARLINGTON, Texas Tony Romo has a

stirring playoff comeback to go with all the
late-season disappointments.
Romo threw two touchdown passes to
Terrance Williams, the second for the lead
late in the fourth quarter, and the Dallas
Cowboys rallied for a 24-20 wild-card win
over Detroit on Sunday in their first playoff
game in five years.
The Cowboys (12-5) wiped out an early
two-touchdown deficit to earn a trip to Green
Bay, their first postseason visit there since
a heartbreaking loss to the Packers in the
Ice Bowl in 1967.
The Lions (11-6) went 99 yards for one of
two first-quarter touchdowns, but Matthew
Stafford couldnt get them in the end zone
again. He fell to 0-2 in the playoffs three
years after losing a wild-card game to New
Orleans.
The winning drive came after officials
reversed a pass interference penalty against
Dallas, resulting in a Detroit punt.
Detroit was driving with a 20-17 lead midway through the fourth quarter when referee
Pete Morelli announced a pass interference
penalty against Anthony Hitchens on a
third-down pass to Brandon Pettigrew. But
officials reversed the call without explanation, and Sam Martin had a 10-yard punt
after the Lions tried to draw Dallas offside on
fourth-and-1.
Romo took the Cowboys 59 yards in 11
plays, including a 21-yard pass to Jason
Witten on fourth-and-6. The winner to
Williams was an 8-yarder after Romo had
several seconds to throw behind an offensive line among the leagues best because
Dallas has drafted linemen in the first round
three of the past four years.
The Cowboys had to wait a little longer to
celebrate after rookie DeMarcus Lawrence
gave the Lions the ball back with a fumble
following Anthony Spencers sack that
knocked the ball loose from Stafford.

Shes learning still the game but shes really competitive.
After leading 25-20 at halftime, M-A maintained its lead despite getting outscored 9-6
throughout a defensive battle in the third
quarter. The aggressive Paly team got into
foul trouble in the fourth quarter, which saw
M-A take advantage with clutch free throws
down the stretch.
M-A opens PAL South Division play
Wednesday against reigning league co-champion Mills. It has been a tough matchup for MA in recent years though, as the Bears havent
beaten Mills since the 2010-11 season.

idway through the rst College

Why did it take so long for this to happen?
The two seminal games produced

and start talking
about how to expand

teams is a must.
Sixteen would be
even better, though
that would probably
require more radical
changes than anyone
is willing to accept
at the moment.
Until then, the four-team system isnt
too shabby.
Oregon wiped out defending national
champion Florida State 59-20 in the
Rose Bowl, snapping the Seminoles 29game winning streak. Ohio State upset
top-seeded Alabama 42-35 in a thrilling
Sugar Bowl, heading to the title game
behind a quarterback (Cardale Jones) who
was a third-stringer back in August.
You get to see the two best teams
playing for it all, Ohio State linebacker
Darron Lee said. Im glad the playoff
system is intact now.
So are we.
With apologies to Big 12 co-champions TCU and Baylor, both of which could
certainly make a case for being part of
the playoff, theres little doubt the new

Luck throws for 376 yards to lead Colts past Broncos

By Michael Marot
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

INDIANAPOLIS Andrew Luck stood

tall, even as he was falling down Sunday.
The Colts quarterback threw for 376 yards
and a game-changing touchdown as he was
headed to the turf. Daniel Boom Herron
ran for another score as Indianapolis dominated the second half to beat Cincinnati 2610 in the wild-card round.
As the Colts (12-5) were setting up a
rematch at Denver (12-4) next Sunday, the
Bengals frittered away a chance to end their
postseason misery.
The Bengals became the first team in NFL
history to lose four consecutive openinground games. Andy Dalton tied Warren
Moon for the most consecutive openinground playoff losses by a quarterback.
Cincinnati coach Marvin Lewis tied
Marty Schottenheimer, Jim Mora and
Steven Owen for most consecutive playoff
losses (six) by a coach. Lewis also tied
Mora, the former Colts coach, for most consecutive playoff losses to start a career, and
tied Owen for most consecutive playoff
losses with one team.
Now Luck will get a chance to defy his
short NFL playoff history. Though he
improved to 2-0 at home, the Colts franchise quarterback has struggled mightily in
consecutive playoff losses on the road. His
third opportunity will come against his
predecessor in Indy, Peyton Manning.

Never count out the Baltimore Ravens in
the playoffs
In their sixth trip in seven seasons with
John Harbaugh as coach and Joe Flacco at
quarterback, the Ravens beat archrival
Pittsburgh 30-17 Saturday night in an AFC
wild-card game. That sends Baltimore to New
England, a place the Ravens twice have won
in the postseason, including in the 2012 season when they won the Super Bowl.
Were definitely familiar with playing up
there, but that doesnt really mean anything, Flacco said of Gillette Stadium.
Theyre a good football team, and were
going to have to be on top of everything to
go in there and get a victory.
In the NFC game, the Carolina Panthers,
the second division winner with a losing
record in NFL history, also became the second such team to win a postseason game.
Emulating the 2010 Seattle Seahawks,
Carolina (8-8-1) got its first playoff victory in nine years by holding Arizona to 78
yards in a 27-16 win. That was the lowest
yield in a postseason game.
Flacco tossed two second-half touchdowns in the bitter AFC North rivalry.

Andrew Luck became just the fifth QB in NFL

history to log three straight 300-yard passing
games in the postseason.
Denver beat the Colts 31-24 in the season
opener.
Luck couldnt be going into the next game
under better circumstances. He finished 31
of 44 and for the first time did not have a
turnover in a playoff game. He also joined
Dan Fouts, Jim Kelly, Warren Moon and
Drew Brees as the only NFL players with
three straight 300-yard games in the postseason and managed to keep his feet and his

poise on the biggest play of the game.

I sort of stepped up in a crease there, saw

penalties Luck and the offense did
enough. The defense was even better, allowing just 254 yards against the Bengals (106-1), who played without injured receiver
A.J. Green or tight end Jermaine Gresham,
their two top pass catchers.
The difference between Luck and Dalton
was never more apparent than on two thirdquarter plays.
On second-and-10 from the Bengals 36,
Luck floated a perfect pass to the corner of
the end zone with Carlos Dunlap taking him
to the ground. Moncrief cradled the ball to
his chest for a 36-yard score and a 20-10 lead.
I wasnt shocked because we do that play

a lot, Moncrief said. We run that play a lot

in practice, but I was shocked that I caught it
in that situation.
When Dalton got the ball back, he had
Brandon Tate open deep down the middle on
a flea-flicker. But Colts cornerback Greg
Toler raced over and broke up the underthrown pass. Three plays later, the Bengals
punted. They never seriously challenged
again.
Dalton finished 18 of 35 for 155 yards and
lost a fumble, while rookie Jeremy Hill
rushed 13 times for 47 yards.
Hilton caught six passes for 103 yards,
Herron had 10 catches for 85 yards he
also rushed for 56 and Adam Vinatieri
made four field goals.
Mike Nugent made a 57-yard field goal
with 10 seconds left in the first half to cut
Indys lead to 13-10. It was the longest field
goal in franchise history.
But the Colts only gave up 9 net yards in
the third quarter, when Luck seized control
with his acrobatic TD pass.
Its kind of like missing a field goal that
you should have hit, Nugent said, referring
to Cincinnatis continual playoff exits.

Pittsburgh for the first time in the postseason; Pittsburgh had been 9-0 in third games
of a season against the same opponent.
Baltimore (11-6) sacked Roethlisberger

for 334 yards, but the Steelers (11-6) settled
for too many field goals.

end zone.
NFL rushing leader DeMarco Murray
slogged his way to 75 yards on 19 carries,
including a 1-yard plunge on fourth down that
pulled Dallas to 20-14 late in the third quarter.
Romo, who cost Dallas a chance to win
with the infamous flub of the snap on a
potential winning field in Seattle eight years
ago, improved to 2-4 in the postseason. The
34-year-old who had back surgery in
December 2013 and sustained another back
injury that knocked him out of a game this
season, endured a season-high six sacks.
Two were on consecutive plays in the
fourth quarter by Ndamukong Suh, who was
suspended Monday for stepping on Green
Bays Aaron Rodgers, but reinstated a day
later. Romo had 293 yards passing yards and
a quarterback rating almost right on his
franchise-best 113.2 that led the NFL.
Stafford, playing his hometown team, was
28 of 42 for 323 yards. Calvin Johnson,
who had 329 yards receiving in a comeback
win in Detroit last year, had 85 yards on five
catches. Tate had 89 yards on six grabs.

U.S. skier Shiffrin dominates World Cup slalom

By Eric Willemsen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ZAGREB, Croatia American skier

Mikaela Shiffrin continued her recent resurgence in slalom by convincingly winning
her second straight World Cup race, leaving
her rivals in awe four weeks before she
defends her world title in Beaver Creek.
In sunny conditions and cheered by 8,000
spectators, the Olympic champion posted
the fastest time in both runs to finish in an
aggregate 1 minute, 56.66 seconds and lead
second-place Kathrin Zettel of Austria by
1.68 seconds, the biggest winning margin
in the 10-year history of the event.
For the first time in my career, I just feel
like I am in complete control of myself, said
Shiffrin, who sorted out some equipment

issues by changing her

boots and skis and
tweaked her mindset during a 10-day training
camp in Italy in December.
I feel really comfortable on my feet right now
after a lot of testing in
Santa Caterina but also
Mikaela Shiffrin really great training,
the American said. I
have started off really great with my career
but I am hoping to keep improving.
Nina Loeseth of Norway was 2.79 back in
third for her maiden career podium finish
and first for a Norwegian female skier since
2002, while the rest of the field trailed
Shiffrin by more than three seconds.
Shiffrin won the slalom World Cup the

past two seasons but failed to reach a podium in the first three races this season until
dominating in Kuehtai, Austria, last week,
where she also won both runs.
With every single run that I take I get more
confident, the American skier said. My skiing is good right now, its kind of back on
track and my equipment feels really good.
It was the Americans 12th career World Cup
win and 11th in slalom, matching a World
Cup record set in 1980 by Frances Perrine
Pelen for most slalom wins as a teenager.
Frida Hansdotter of Sweden placed fourth
to retain her lead in the discipline standings
with 320 points, though Shiffrin has closed
the gap to a single point. Tina Maze is 25
points behind Shiffrin in third.
There is one more slalom before the world
championships in Flachau, Austria, on Jan. 13.

On Sunday morning, NFL Network broadcaster Rich Eisens voice broke as he reported the death of his good friend, with whom
he worked on SportsCenter broadcasts.
I love this man, Eisen said.
ESPN anchor Hannah Storm called him
our colleague, our friend and our inspiration as she reported the news. On the networks NFL pregame show, Chris Berman
said, Stuart made ESPN what it is, he made
us better people.
Before North Carolinas womens basketball team tipped off against N.C. State, the
arena observed a moment of silence for
Scott, and the videoboard proclaimed the
1987 graduate Forever a Tar Heel.
Born in Chicago, Scott attended high
school in North Carolina before going to
UNC. He returned to Chapel Hill as the universitys commencement speaker in 2001.
Scott worked at three TV stations in the
southern U.S. before joining ESPN for the
1993 launch of its ESPN2 network, hosting
short sports update segments.
He often anchored the 11 p. m.
SportsCenter, where he would punctuate
highlights with an emphatic Boo-ya! or
note a slick move as being as cool as the

other side of the pillow.

Scott went on to cover countless major
events for the network, including the Super
Bowl, NBA Finals, World Series and NCAA
basketball tournament. He also interviewed
President Barack Obama, joining him for a
televised game of one on one.
I will miss Stuart Scott, Obama said in a
statement. Stu helped usher in a new way to
talk about our favorite teams and the days
best plays. For much of those 20 years, public service and campaigns have kept me
from my family but wherever I went, I
could flip on the TV and Stu and his colleagues on SportsCenter were there. ...
Michelle and I offer our thoughts and
prayers to his family, friends and colleagues.
In July, when he accepted the ESPY award
named for former N.C. State coach Jim
Valvano, who died of cancer in 1993, Scott
shared what he had learned from his struggle: When you die, that does not mean that
you lose to cancer. You beat cancer by how
you live, why you live, and the manner in
which you live.
So live. Live. Fight like hell.

Valencia snaps Madrids 22-game win streak

NBA GLANCE

NHL GLANCE

Monday Jan. 5, 2015

BARCELONA,
Spain

Valencia ended Real Madrids 22game winning streak by fighting

back for a 2-1 victory on Sunday
that throws open the Spanish
league title race.
Cristiano Ronaldo extended his
stunning tally to 26 league goals
in the 14th minute at Mestalla
Stadium when he stroked in a
penalty kick following Alvaro
Negredos handball.
But the hosts rallied through a
goal by Antonio Barragan in the
52nd before defender Nicolas
Otamendi fended off Sergio
Ramos to head home the 65thminute winner.

biggest supporters couldve predicted.
The television ratings were off
the charts, with ESPN reporting
the two-largest audiences in cable
television history for the seminals. The Sugar Bowl averaged
28.271 million viewers, while
the less-competitive Rose Bowl
wasnt far behind with 28.164
million. Look for even bigger
numbers from the title game.
The Rose Bowl drew a crowd of
more than 91,000, though Florida
State had trouble selling its allotment of tickets because it had
also played in Pasadena the year
before; many Seminoles fans were
saving their money for a title
game that never materialized. The
Sugar Bowl had its largest turnout
in eight years (74,682) and an
electric atmosphere, with what
appeared to be a near-even split
between Ohio State and Alabama
fans.
The banana-peel fumble by
Florida State quarterback Jameis

Madrid still
has a game in
hand,
but
Barcelona can
take the provisional lead with
a win at Real
Sociedad later.

Ronaldo
was also left
one point behind the pacesetters.
Madrid had not lost or drawn a
game in any competition since a
2-1 defeat to Atletico on Sept. 13,
setting a Spanish record for consecutive wins.
Valencias first win in six visits
by Madrid lifted it into fourth
place, the leagues last Champions

League spot that the club has set as

its goal for the season.
Valencias players lined up to
give Madrid an honor guard for
winning the Club World Cup last
month, a gesture not appreciated
by most of its fans who jeered as
the visitors marched onto the
pitch.
Manager Nuno Espirito Santo
opted to load Valencias midfield
with five players including a
debut for new arrival Enzo Perez
and play with a three-man defense.
That set up a fascinating matchup
between Gareth Bale and Valencia
defender Lucas Orban. The speedy
Wales winger provided Madrids
most dangerous threat early on
before the Argentine got the better
of him in the second half.

Winston was a huge hit on social

media, giving his many detractors
a chance to poke fun at the quarterback who kept getting in and
out of trouble during his time in
Tallahassee. Our favorite: the
Vine in which Lance
Stephensons exhale into LeBron
James ear was edited to make it
look as though he was blowing
over Winston, whose comical
play resulted in an Oregon touchdown.
The Sugar Bowl was the better
game, but the Rose Bowl produced
more water cooler topics. Florida
State coach Jimbo Fisher was
caught on the sideline threatening
to bench Winston if he didnt
calm down. Several Oregon players did a tacky rendition of
Florida States tomahawk chant,
substituting the words no means
no in reference to sexual assault
allegations against Winston and
leading to a hasty apology.
Some coaches expressed worries about the wear-and-tear on
their players, especially for the
two teams that will wind up playing 15 games nearly the
length of an NFL season. But
there was ample time for rest leading up to both the seminals and
nal, and having an extra round
before the championship gures to
improve the quality of
play in the biggest
game of all.
Under the old BCS
system, you might
remember, there was a
huge gap between the
end of the regular season and the championship game. That led
to forgettable contests such as Auburns
22-19 victory over
Oregon in 2011, the
second-lowest scor-

ing game of the season for both

teams instead of the expected
shootout, two of the nations
most dynamic offenses clearly
thrown off by a 37-day layoff.
That shouldnt be a factor in
Arlington, featuring two teams
that just combined for 101 points
on New Years Day.
There are certainly issues with
this new system, in which six
major bowls rotate the seminals
on an every-three-years basis.
The other four bowls are guaranteed an attractive game, but being
an also-ran resulted in an awful
turnout for Georgia Techs victory
over Mississippi State in the
Orange Bowl, while the Peach
Bowls 17-year sellout streak
ended with TCUs thumping of
Ole Miss.
The other four bowls would
surely be better off with a quarternal round in their non-seminal
seasons played around
Christmas Day than they are
with games that have no impact
on the national championship.
But adding another layer to the
playoffs would make it even more
expensive for a teams fans to
travel to all the games, so it
might be better to play the opening round at the campuses of the
four highest-seeded teams.
Those are issues we need to start
discussing.
But at least we have a playoff.
Two teams played their way into
the title game, instead of relying
on some convoluted ranking system.
Under the BCS, Ohio States
season would have been over.
Instead, the Buckeyes get a shot
at a title.
Its good for college football,
coach Urban Meyer said. Were

The Hobbit tops box office for 3rd weekend

release, starring Oscar Isaac and Jessica
Chastain, will soon expand.
Demand, though, was strongest for
American Sniper, Clint Eastwoods drama
about Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle
(Bradley Cooper). In its second week playing in just four theaters, American Sniper
attracted a remarkable $160, 000 perscreen-average. The film opens wide on
January 16.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Hollywood kicked off the

New Year on a positive note, with three
films vying closely for the weekend boxoffice title that nevertheless remained with
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five
Armies for the third straight week.
Peter Jacksons Middle-earth finale took
in $21.9 million for Warner Bros. in North
American theaters, according to studio estimates Sunday, narrowly edging out the
Disney musical Into the Woods ($19.1
million) and Angelina Jolies World War II
tale Unbroken ($18. 4 million) from
Universal.
The weekends lone new wide-release, the
Relativity Media horror sequel The
Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death, landed
in fourth place with $15.1 million.
The first weekend of 2015 gave
Hollywood the chance to begin turning the
page on a rough 2014 in which box-office
revenue slid 5 percent and attendance
dropped to its lowest level in nearly 20
years. With a closely contested weekend at
the multiplexes, overall business was
strong, up 5.5 percent from the same weekend last year, according to box-office firm
Rentrak.
In its second week of limited release,
Sony Pictures The Interview earned an
estimated $1.1 million theatrically. A representative for Sony said digital figures
likely wouldnt be announced Sunday.

wanted: a cat whos comfortable around

dogs and outgoing with people. We suggested a friendly 5-year-old who previously lived with dogs, and they adopted! It
doesnt always work this way. Some visitors are drawn to cats we didnt ag as possible matches. Or, they choose a cat based
solely on looks or age, even though the
cats personality and activity level are the
opposite of what they told us they wanted.
Should adopters follow their hearts or follow their heads and take our advice? I suggest using a lot of head and some heart.
For example, remember that kittens arent
always bouncy, playful and spastic; they
grow-up quickly. Dont rule out the spunky
3-year-old cat even if you were dead-set on

a kitten, or dont feel like you have to

save the cat whos been awaiting adoption the longest (though wed love if that
cat was your ideal match!) when that cat is
far from your ideal. We dont always
know why we are drawn to animals. Could
be the way they extended a paw in our
direction or a look they gave us. It could
be their back story (rescued after being a
hit by car ... surrendered by a couple who
divorced). In some cases, even the name
weve given them can make an impression. Names can change, kittens become
cats and behaviors that we see in our limited time with the cats can change once
you get home. You may meet the kitty of

Continued from page 1

Collaborating on the Coastal Trail

One of the organizations most momentous accomplishments in 2014 was its
spearheading the joint effort to create a
third of a mile coastal trail extension immediately south of the Seymour Bridge and
Poplar Beach.
Working with the California Coastal
Conservancy, San Mateo County Parks
Department and the Peninsula Open Space
Trust, Chamberlain said they nished the
gravel composite trail extension, in
October.
The California Coastal Trail is going to
run from the Oregon border to the Mexico
border and every segment of it is important
to
get
in
completely
nished,
Chamberlain said. The other nice thing
about this segment is that its [Americans
with Disabilities Act compliant], which
means everyone has access now.
As a relatively small land trust organization, the CLT serves as a vital component to
statewide efforts to preserve open spaces,
Chamberlain said. The CLT works in coalition with city, county, state and federal
parks departments as well as with the
Peninsula Open Space Trust, Pacica Land

HISTORY

edition, editor and publisher Maurer
described it as a political organ, rather
than a news journal in which he intended to
comment on topics of general interest
without mincing words, calling a spade a
spade. The content and style of his May
1925 edition established Maurer view of
himself as a political watchdog and implied
a strong adversarial position to the established newspaper, the San Bruno Herald.

HOTEL

competitive with its neighbors, Porras
wrote.
News of the upcoming discussion and possible expansion of hotel-allowable sites
surprised Ben Fuller, president of the Greater
East San Carlos neighborhood association.

Trust, Land Trust of Santa Cruz County and

the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space
District, Chamberlain said.
Its a large area, our county is very large,
and theres not a huge amount of money for
this type of work, so we could never compete with each other. So the niche that we
ll is the willingness to take and manage
these smaller properties because larger land
trusts or districts would prefer to have a larger piece of land that can be easier to manage
than hundreds of smaller properties like we
have that are not contiguous, Chamberlain
said.

Land acquisitions
A recent example of the CLTs collaborative work was its acquisition of 7 acres
known as the Purissima Old Town site,
which was donated by the states conservancy. The abandoned site off Verde Road was
overgrown with vegetation and poison ivy
before the CLT stepped in and has begun to
host cleanup days to help reopen the historic land to the public, Chamberlain said.
Most recently, the CLT closed on two
parcels Tuesday and another Wednesday
bringing this years total up to nine plots of
land that were donated. In total, the CLT has
163 parcels its acquired, restored and is permanently protecting as open space.
The majority of the more than 100 acres it
oversees were donated, particularly the

Monday Jan. 5, 2015

small plots near Wavecrest and west of

Highway 1. Many of the parcels, that average about 25 feet by 100 feet, with some as
small as 15 feet by 50 feet, originate from
the Ocean Shore Railroad era where plots of
land were often given away or sold for as little as $20, Chamberlain said.
As the railroad proved unsuccessful, plots
sat vacant and the list of heirs grew
throughout the decades. Now, many feel
positive about donating these types of family heirlooms to the CLT knowing theyll
be preserved as open space, Chamberlain
said.
Along with holding more than 80 acres in
conservation titles, the CLT also has conservation easements on approximately 24
acres, Chamberlain said. Once the CLT
acquires a property, it initiates stewardship
whereby a trained team will monitor the
property at least annually to ensure its
healthy, no one is living on it and that there
are no invasive plants. Subsequently, the
CLT will create a long-term management
plan every three years and continue to pay
taxes and report to appropriate government
agencies, Chamberlain said.

Showing support
The CLT had a roughly $500,000 budget
last year, most of which went toward paying
taxes on its land and operations,
Chamberlain said. The nonprot succeeds

without bonds. He infuriated many people

by insinuating that hotels and motels
served only whores so he blocked any new
buildings that would be used as a hotel or
motel. He was very adamant in vocalizing
his opposition to other peoples opinions.
Due to his somewhat different opinions of
councilmembers and citizens, he was sued
many times.
Maurer remained a bachelor, and lived
most of his 46 years in San Bruno at 342 W.
Angus Ave. Early in his residency in the
city, Maurer lived in a wooden oor, 12-foot
by 15-foot tent on his property, next to the
N. D. Hall on Angus, ostensibly for medical
reasons. The tent did not have running water
or toilet facilities so he used his friends

facilities at N.D. Hall next door. The tent

and the lack of sanitary facilities infuriated
many people in the community as they
thought the members of the City Council
should exhibit higher standards. He had the
house at 342 W. Angus Ave. built in the
1950s after much pressure to do so by his
councilmembers and other city ofcials.
Arguably one of the San Brunos most
colorful characters, Maurer suffered the rst
of three strokes late in 1960 and died Feb.
16, 1961.

When we talked about hotels with the

city everybody agreed north of Taylor
toward Quarry. Fine. And one Landmark
hotel. But nobody talked about further
south on Industrial, Fuller said.
Fuller said the GESC isnt trying to halt
progress, just establish a process and
maybe get some concessions like new park
land in return for what he said will be the
massive cumulative impacts of more hotels
on top of a possible new magnet high
school, the Transit Village development
and the restriping of Holly Street.
The citys Economic Development

Advisory Commission initially suggested

hotels being allowed on Industrial Road
between Taylor Way and Holly Street but
residents balked at how close those parcels
back up against the single-family residential neighborhood and hotels 24-hour occupancy.
At the same meeting, the Planning
Commission will evaluation four other proposed zoning changes: allowing large-scale
outdoor commercial entertainment and
recreation uses in the north and south boulevard districts of El Camino Real; remove the
requirement that the fourth story of all

buildings in mixed-use districts be limited

only to residential use; lower building stories and heights on the 600, 700 and 800
blocks of Laurel Street and limiting the use
of temporary tents to 30 days annually.

with the primary support of private donations followed by grants and hundreds of
people who share the ideals of preserving
open space on the San Mateo County coast,
Chamberlain said.
A small organization like ours could not
succeed without the generosity and skills
and dedication of our volunteers,
Chamberlain said.
While the CLT will continue to preserve
its land holdings as open space, clean and
restore habitats and promote appreciation
of the coast, Chamberlain said she also
hopes to continue the expansion of the
Coastal Trail down toward the Ritz-Carlton
hotel in Half Moon Bay.
The nice thing about having a nonprot
is that people like myself may come and go,
but the organization is always going to be
here caring for and protecting our beautiful
open spaces, Chamberlain said. Its very
rewarding to protect open space. Its enjoyable to be outside and see wildlife and its
very healthy, it keeps your body strong and
in good health. So its a win-win.

Maurer was instrumental in defeating the

proposed annexation of the then unincorporated Linda Mar (now Pacica) and the
unincorporated Country Club Estates (by
California Golf Club in South San
Francisco) in the 1950s.
One of the major accomplishments he
claimed was that he had saved the city of San
Bruno from nancial ruin by his delinquent
lot sale plan. He was also instrumental in
renancing the city street improvement
bond assessment bearing 7 percent to
longer-term bonds at 4 percent. He also
claimed credit for buying (for $7,000) the
land for a new city hall building. The fund,
which he established for the city, enabled
the city to build a new City Hall in 1953

BROWN
Continued from page 1
McFadden said perhaps one of the
administrations bigger challenges
will be pushing back on many ideas
and proposals put forth by lawmakers, local governments and advocates. Brown will continue to focus
on paying down billions in debts
accrued during the recession and
depositing money into the states
newly reinforced rainy day fund.
Californias unfunded obligation
to pay for the health and dental care
of retired state government workers
grew by 11 percent during the most
recent fiscal year to nearly $72 billion.
The governor said to me yesterday
that the fiscal rectitude of the state
has a constituency of one, and its
the governor and his team,
McFadden quipped.
Brown hasnt revealed how hell
handle recent tensions with the
University of California Board of
Regents, which approved tuition
increases as much as 5 percent each
of the next five years unless the state
approves more money for the 10campus system.
Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de
Leon and Assembly Speaker Toni
Atkins, both Democrats, have
pledged to increase state funding in
exchange for transparency and efficiencies, but Brown maintains that

CHIEF
Continued from page 1
chief Bill Reilly, who took over in
July 2014. Prior to Reillys hire,
Chief Mike Massoni led both the
Police Department and the Fire
Department as the public safety chief
for 14 months following the retirement of former fire chief Phil White.
With the appointment of Reilly as
interim fire chief, Massoni returned
to his former position as police
chief.
A resident of Redwood City and
father of two daughters, Kohlmann
graduated from Sequoia High School
and went on to earn an associates
degree fire technology before receiving a bachelors degree in occupational studies and vocational arts,
along with a masters degree in emergency services administration from
California State University, Long
Beach. Recently, he has been con-

tuition and state funding arent the

only options. Brown has suggested
offering more online classes, requiring faculty members to devote more
time to teaching instead of research,
and curbing salaries for administrators and professors to increase
access while reducing costs.
Brown handily defeated Republican
challenger Neel
Kashkari
in
November without much of a campaign. His ability to generate consensus could establish him among
Californias most successful governors.
As far as the genre of governor of
California, this man has mastered it
to the level of Hiram Johnson, Earl
Warren and his father (Pat Brown),
said former State Librarian Kevin
Starr.
The governors reputation for frugality will once again be reflected in
his swearing-in celebration.
After he is sworn in Monday, there
is a private reception that night at
the California Railroad Museum,
funded by private donations left over
from his previous inauguration, for
which he spent just $75, 000. The
governors staff expects he will
spend a similar amount this time.
By comparison, former Gov.
Arnold
Schwarzenegger,
a
Republican, held lavish affairs,
including a black tie gala for 2, 000
people, and raised millions for his
two inaugurations.
But Browns aura of fiscal austerity
may be only an illusion.

Since returning to office in 2011,

Californias general fund spending
has grown 25 percent, fueled by a
statewide recovery and the passage
of the governors Proposition 30,
which increased taxes on earnings
over $250, 000 for seven years and
boosted the statewide sales taxes by
a quarter cent for four years.
The nonpartisan legislative analyst is projecting state revenue of
$111. 4 billion for the 2015-16 fiscal year, a 3. 7 percent increase over
this years $107. 4 billion general
fund budget.
His most important political success with the budget was that he had
these very public transparent things
that cut money taking away state
cars, taking away state cellphones,
said Thad Kousser, a professor of
political science at the University of
California, San Diego. He was able
to spend billions of dollars while
looking like a penny pincher.
Browns push for a costly infrastructure project remains controversial even as the California HighSpeed Rail Authority commemorates
the start of construction for the
nations first high-speed rail system
at a ceremonial groundbreaking in
Fresno.
Assembly Minority Leader Kristin
Olsen, R-Modesto, said she disagrees with the governor on highspeed rail and believes expanding
regional transit systems would be a
more cost-efficient but just as effective at improving air quality.

ducting utility emergency training

for Pacific Gas and Electric. He did
such training for the South San
Francisco Fire Department.
I did that training and went to
chief Whites retirement and I heard
him talk about the organization and
thought, wow theres a lot of interesting parts of this organization,
he said. The interim was so positive
about it. I asked him after the event,
do you think this is an environment
I would fit into?
Being directly involved in a fire
service that has a really dynamic
environment
is
something
Kohlmann said to which he is looking forward. The citys new downtown specific plan thats focused on
revamping the city core, the fire prevention program and emergency
management activities, along with
engaging the community, excite him
most.
For me, the biggest element is to
get there and provide some consistent, engaged and really informed

leadership, he said. The department itself has not had a consistent

environment to work in. There are
some really smart folks in that
organization and I would like a forum
for department-wide input. What
struck me was how passionate the
people in the organization are.
Being a firefighter is something
thats hard to describe, he said.
Its a good way to use your mind
and your body to do good work, he
said. I like the challenges of it
intellectually
and
physically.
Theres a lot of moving parts. The
team aspect is huge for me.
There will be a change of command
ceremony to honor Kohlmann 10

property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior
lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title
to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of
outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender
may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information

Divers resume search for victims and fuselage of AirAsia jet

By Eileen Ng
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SURABAYA, Indonesia The weather

improved Monday and divers will attempt
again to locate large objects on the ocean
floor believed to be the fuselage of the
AirAsia flight that crashed more than one
week ago, killing all 162 on board.
At least five ships with equipment that
can detect the planes black boxes have
been deployed to the area where the suspected plane parts were spotted, said Suryadi B.
Supriyadi, Indonesias National Search and
Rescue director of operations.
If it cannot be done by divers, we will
use sophisticated equipment with capabilities of tracking underwater objects and then
will lift them up, Supriyadi said.
Five large objects - the biggest measuring
18 meters (59 feet) long and 5.4 meters (18
feet) wide and believed to be the fuselage have been detected, and Supriyadi repeated
that officials expect that many passengers

Divers prepare their gear on the deck of the Search and Rescue ship KN Purworejo during a
search operation for passengers onboard AirAsia Flight QZ8501 in the Java Sea.
and crew will be found trapped inside.
But todays searching mission is still,
once again, depend on the weather, he said.

Divers tried to reach the site on Sunday,

but rolling seas stirred up silt and mud, leaving them with zero visibility.

Also Sunday, emotionally exhausted family members sang and cried at a tiny chapel
in Surabaya, the city where Flight 8501
departed from Dec. 28. The Rev. Philip
Mantofa, who heads the congregation at
Mawar Sharon Church - where more than a
quarter of the victims were members - urged
those gathered to find comfort in their
faith.
If God has called your child, allow me to
say this: Your child is not to be pitied,
Mantofa said, locking eyes with a grieving
father seated in the front row. Your child is
already in Gods arms. One day, your family
will be reunited in heaven.
It is not known what caused the
Singapore-bound plane to crash into the
Java Sea 42 minutes after taking off on
what was supposed to be a two-hour flight.
Just before losing contact, the pilot told
air traffic control that he was approaching
threatening clouds, but was denied permission to climb to a higher altitude because of
heavy air traffic.

MIAMI Just starting a five-year sentence for illegally re-entering the United States, George Lewis stared at the
officers staring back at him at Miamis federal detention
center and considered whether hed risk getting on another smugglers boat - a chance that soaring numbers of
Caribbean islanders are taking - once hes deported again.
U.S. authorities deported Lewis following a four-year
sentence for a felony drug conviction in May 2013 to the
Bahamas, where he was born but lived only briefly. His
Haitian mother brought him to Miami as an infant, and
though he always considered the U.S. home, he never
became a legal resident.
Just five months after he was deported, he got on a
Bahamian smugglers boat with over a dozen other people
trying to sneak into Florida. It capsized and four Haitian
women drowned. He and the others were rescued.
So would he dare make another attempt?
Yeah, Lewis, 39, said with a sigh. But, he added, I
would put on a life vest next time.
A recent spike in Cubans attempting to reach the United
States by sea has generated headlines. But the numbers of
Haitians and other Caribbean islanders making similar
journeys are up even more. And while federal law grants
legal residency to Cubans reaching U.S. soil, anyone else
can be detained and deported.
That law, the so-called wet foot-dry foot policy, and
Coast Guard operations related to migrants remain
unchanged even as Cuban and U.S. leaders say they are
restoring diplomatic relations after more than 50 years.
The Coast Guard strongly discourages attempts to illegally enter the country by taking to the sea. These trips
are extremely dangerous. Individuals located at sea may be
returned to Cuba, said Lt. Cmdr. Gabe Somma, spokesman
for the Coast Guards 7th District in Miami.
According to the Coast Guard, in the fiscal year that
ended Sept. 30, U.S. authorities captured, intercepted or
chased away at least 5,585 Haitians, 3,940 Cubans and
hundreds from the Dominican Republic and other
Caribbean countries attempting to sneak into the country.
Thats at least 3,000 more migrants intercepted than in
the previous fiscal year. Its also the highest number of
Haitian migrants documented in five years and the highest
number of Cubans recorded in six. Its unknown how many
made it to U.S. shores without getting caught, or how
many died trying.
More than 1,920 migrants - most of them Cuban or
Haitian - have been intercepted so far in the fiscal year
that began Oct. 1. The Coast Guard worries that number
will only increase as news spreads about recent changes to
the U. S. immigration system, including fast-tracking
visas for some Haitians already approved to join family
here and an executive order signed by President Barack
Obama that would make millions already illegally in the
U.S. eligible for work permits and protection from deportation.
Any perceived changes to U.S. immigration policy can
cause a spike in immigration because it gives a glimmer of
hope, even to people not eligible under those changes,
said Capt. Mark Fedor, chief of response for the Coast
Guards 7th District.
